Hello and welcome to the Fletch, Vaughan and Megan podcast. Thanks to Spark. Get more of what you love on the $29 prepaid rollover pack. And now, on with the show. Hello, good morning. Welcome to the show, Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. Say it. What? It's six o'clock, but it feels like five o'clock. Oh, I'm in studio clock.

It's not changed to daylight savings. Oh, no. That's right. Every year this happens. We've got to find the remote. That's why the thing's not right. Yeah, I've got no idea where this happens every day. What does the remote look like?

That's a TV remote, aren't you? It's like half the size of a TV remote and then you've got a Because the club needs a volume bowl. You're very tired this morning, aren't you? What's wrong? You have a big weekend. Yeah, Nana did some drinking and now the remote chat

is just all too much. Tipped me over the edge. Wow. I haven't felt it. Don't like savings? Nah. Okay. Nah, I haven't.

Why? Did you go to bed early last night or something? Well, just the same sort of time. Okay. Well, that's good. Yesterday waking up, I didn't feel... All right, okay. All positive stuff here.

Well, it's not only has it been daylight savings over the weekend, but it's the 1st of October. Just let that sink in for a second. October is here. We say this every year as well. Gosh, when did the year go? It's October or May. It's very quick.

It's very quick. It's getting a lot faster. It's because we're getting older. It can slow right down, thank you. This year can slow down. That's what white people love saying. This year can slow right down

please. It'll be Christmas before we know it. So true. Alright you lot, listen up. It's story time. I have found and sourced three stories online and their headlines. Interesting, unusual, quirky news stories. Fauna Megan, pick one of the following three. Headline one, it's fire.

Headline two Police want to speak to anyone Who has purchased waffle mix And headline three Fortune cookie comes good Oh so The fortune cookie predicted Predicted by something that happened

For once Correct yes Was the first one That I'm leaning towards Right Gender reveal related? Maybe, yes. How did you get that?

I had no idea what he was talking about. You're like... It's a fire. Whereas you'd say it's a... Boy. Girl. Yeah. Okay.

You want that one? Yeah, let's go with that. Okay, all right. We go to America now and Arizona. The Arizona Daily Star reporting that 37-year-old Dennis Dickey has pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of causing a fire without a permit. So it was a, he's an off-duty Border Patrol agent. Okay.

Now him and his partner are having a baby. So they decided to do a gender reveal party and most people get a cake. And when you cut it open, the inside is coloured like blue or pink. Or a balloon and you pop it and whatever the confetti is. I haven't seen, how else would you do it?

I haven't seen. What was that bogan one with the car? Remember in Australia, someone did a burnout or something in there? Yeah, you tie them 8A and then like under the layer of rubber, there's... Was that right? I don't know how they did it, but the dust was blue.

Oh, yeah. There's a baseball one where you have a baseball made or like a bath bomb effectively and it's white and then someone chucks it up and you smack it and it explodes into... God. Well, you'd have to be a baseball player. The pressure on hitting that ball... Oh, yeah, you wouldn't want to miss.

Yeah, no, you wouldn't. I saw a balloon. I saw a video of a balloon one at the weekend and they were reaching out to pop it and it slipped out of her hand and it floated away. And they were like,

what do we do? And they just watched it float away. And then I guess they just had to ring the obstetrician and be like, what was that? That's so good. Sorry to bother you on a Saturday. What was that? He reportedly so good. Sorry to bother you on a Saturday, what was that?

He reportedly shot a target containing Tannerite, which is an explosive substance designed to detonate when shot by a high-velocity firearm. The coloured powder

would reveal the baby's gender at the party. Okay. But, unfortunately, that started a $220,000 wildfire.

Oh! Which he now has to pay for. What did you say that was called, that chemical? Tannerite. Shot a target. It's an explosive substance. Oh, yes. Yes.

So was he out in the bush or something? Jefferson City, did you say? Because, yeah, I just searched Tannerite and all of the top results. Explosion identified as Tannerite. Explosion heard throughout Jefferson City caused by Tannerite. Jefferson Sheriff said explosion caused by Tannerite. Probably something you shouldn't be firing at at a baby reveal party. So I said he had to pay $220,000.

That was just his restitution. That fire used 800 firefighters over a week, and they reckon it cost the state of Arizona $8.2 million. So it's... He started like a mega wildfire. I'm surprised that's all... Fighting fires is insanely expensive. Do you want to see a video?

I mean, this is no good for anybody listening to the radio, but do you want to see a video of a guy shooting a refrigerator full of Tannero? Oh, my God. Have you got sound? A refrigerator full? I think it might have. Well, I hope it's got sound. Okay, hold on.

I'll just load him up. It was basically he's got a rifle and he's leant between the trees. Any sound coming through on that? Yay! The fridge nearly hit him! I know! I know! The fridge! The whole fridge

peeled in half and it like shot straight back at him. That's an insane explosion, eh? So apparently in tiny, teeny tiny amounts, Tanner Wright lets you know you've hit a target. So if you're shooting from a distance you have a teeny little tiny mount and it will go bang. And let you know you've hit the target.

But you don't pack a refrigerator full of it and shoot it because it'll shoot the fridge straight back at you. God, rednecks are fun, eh? They entertain themselves. I know. I love they're willing to risk their lives so we don't have to. Yay for YouTube. And yay for Tanner Wright. Yeah. Which we've only just heard about for the

first time today. Alright, FM. Everyone says do it for the gram, but maybe we should stop doing it for the gram because lots of people are dying. Death by selfie is on the rise. Okay. How many people do you reckon in a year are killed by taking selfies?

That we know of. Yeah, I guess that we know of. I feel like every year for the last three years, we've had an increasing number. Yeah, it is going up and up. Are we not the worldwide figures? Worldwide. Or New Zealand? Oh, I don't know.

A million? Oh, okay. Jeez, that's a grim. I mean, humanity's not the best, but we're not that grim. I'm just putting your figure out there, like, hot, cold. Well, you're, like, real cold. Real, real cold. 43.

Oh, okay. Still, that's people taking photos of themselves in dangerous places. There was that one guy hanging out a train, eh? And he was like, I'm on a train. Oh, there's a tunnel. Boom. You're kidding me. And, like, lots of cliff ones, eh? Like, they get to the'm on a train. Oh, there's a tunnel. Boom. You're kidding me. And like,

lots of cliff ones, eh? Like, they get to the edge of the cliff and they're like, oh, yeah. They keep backing up. Yeah. More angle, more angle, more angle, more angle.

Yeah, so 43 people have died taking selfies with drowning in falls among the biggest killers. How do you drown taking a selfie? Like, you're what? You're in the sea

and you get ripped, taken out on a rip or something. Oh. Maybe. Or you fall off a cliff into the water. Right. So technically it's the drowning that kills you, not the fall. Right. So men account for most of them.

Seven out of 10. 70% of these are men taking selfies. You know why? They're taking the photos of the girlfriends. The girlfriends, the The girlfriends of Instagram. No, but that's not a selfie. That's not a selfie then. Oh, well, they should be included in the tally.

I bet there's, I bet, RIP. Don't try and blame it on us. It's your stupidity. Dudes are doing it. 70% and the age, the biggest age group is 20 to 29. No, they'll just be holding the camera because they've got the longer arm. That's why I always have to take the group selfie, the longer arm.

Yeah, I wonder if there's been any couples that have died together taking a selfie. Oh, they would have wanted it that way. It's just a shame no one got to upload the photo. We've got so many likes. People are looking at introducing no selfie zones in India and a couple of places they've already put no selfies in that area, which just makes you want to do it more, but it's because it's very dangerous and because people have died there taking

the selfies. Well, I remember the, you remember that TV show, was it Broadchurch with the cliffs in England? That's right, that's one of the spots, right? Yeah, that's one of the spots they had to say to people, because the TV show obviously made it so popular. Yeah. Like, people would go there anyway because it's beautiful, but yeah, lots of people just standing on the edge.

Can they not put a fence up? I suppose that ruins it, doesn't it? No, because it ruins it. It does kill it. Yeah, that ruins it. And then like bags not digging the post holes on the edge of a cliff. Well, that's a high risk job. They're slowly receding as well.

Yeah. So you just need to redo the fence all the time. Yeah. And like if you're dying because of you're taking a selfie then like sad but It's what they would have wanted.

I get what you're saying. Yeah. And it's your own fault kind of. FEM. Well multitasking is something you kind of have to be across

in the modern age. Oh I'm terrible at it. If I'm on my phone I'm listening a little bit. Caitlin, how well do you think Fletch listens to ongoing things that are happening when he's on his phone? Out of 10.

How many times have I actually said something? No, but sometimes I know what you've said. No. It's just a guess usually. Yeah, it is. Do you know how... Something terrible could happen to you because I could literally attack you while you're on your phone

because you zone the whole world out. I can't do both things. Vaughan's just as bad. It's like the world doesn't exist while you're on that phone. I'm a great multitasker. Because I take it all in. We've been in the car with you. I beg to differ. to differ you're alive

aren't you i would say my multitasking has not yet ended alive i feel alive feels good i feel alive my blood is flowing i don't know how you haven't had an accident yet but not not that just being on my phone and anything, I can fully take in everything that's still happening around me. I'm very good at this. That's BS. My wife's not. If she's on the phone, no one bothered talking to her or asking her anything.

Yeah, right. She's just zoned. Although, is yours just selective hearing? Because how many times do we like talking here? Yeah, I'm the same. And then Vaughn's like, oh, what's happening? What happened? Oh, yeah, no.

Who said what? That's just not listening. One thing I wish I was better at multitasking is like, and I don't even know if this is considered multitasking, but when you're cooking dinner and there's different aspects to it, I can never get it all timed right to come right at it. I guess that's multitasking. Yeah, no, I can't do that.

Okay. Because I would freak out about the pasta. Well, you know, the pasta doesn't take as long as like the meat and something cold. Do you know I finally had gnocchi at the weekend. Gnocchi. Gnocchi. Did you make it? No, God I didn't make it. I ate it.

Because I don't always get it. It always freaked me out. Is that the one that's like a potato? A little dumpling. I don't have time for those. You haven't had the right one. Hey, forget about it. What are you, Italian now? Well, I went to a proper Italian place.

Right. So we're at this Italian restaurant. Okay. And this guy walks in. Yeah. Bonjour. Like full noise Italian. And he had a Samuel, what's his name?

Samuel L. Jackson. Yeah, the Kangol hat. Backwards Kangol hat. He had a leather jacket on that said, Polizia? Samuel L. Jackson. Yeah, the Kangol hat. Backwards Kangol hat. He had a leather jacket on and he said, Policia. Like, police. And he just walked straight in.

Straight in, into the kitchen. To the chef. To the chef. Came back out. And I said to the lady that was serving us, I said, he must be a regular.

She's like, never seen him in my life. And it was his first time there. Oh. He just was Italian. I thought he was the owner. No, me too. But then when he walked out and sat back down, She's like, never seen him in my life. And it was his first time there. Oh. I thought he was the owner. No, me too. But then when he walked out and sat back down, I was like,

oh, maybe he doesn't own the place. And then she's like, yeah, no, I've never seen him before. Just passionately Italian. Wow. Apparently that's what you do. Okay. Right. So you're going to do that next time? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Anyway, back to multitasking, which was three conversations ago. Just really briefly, men and women are equally bad at multitasking. Oh, no, no. What's that they've studied at? Yeah, we've got different. Who did they study? There's no differences between the genders. No, they got dudes who are good at it and women who weren't.

I don't believe that at all. Look, if that's how science wanted to skew things, I'm all for that as well. Really? This is science, Megan. You can't argue. Different aspects of multitasking were... We were better at some.

Yeah, better at different aspects of multitasking. Women were, but then men could do things like concentrate on one thing but be dealing with another aspect of it. The example they use, although I hate using this example, is reading a map and driving. Right. Men could do that better, whereas women could keep the house afloat. Which I feel bad because that's the stereotype.

Yeah. But they've said, and I don't know if it's through training or what, or maybe that's why they became, but that's the. Because that's what we've always done. Yeah, maybe. Also, I'm really good at reading maps. Just, I hate them. Well, I hate when they use reading maps as an example.

Yeah. No one's got a thing that tells you what to do. It'll talk to you. There's no need to read it. Yeah. Remember when we saw that guy on the motorway reading a map on a steering wheel? Was that with you guys coming home from the airport? Yeah, I feel like it was.

Is that in Dunedin? Yeah. Oh, that's right. That was in Dunedin. And that was only like a couple months ago. And there's literally like one road into Dunedin. I don't know what he was checking. Heck, I better be on the right road.

FVM, the podcast. Parents are apparently photoshopping their kids. This has been in the news before, hasn't it? Yeah, so it usually comes from a Kardashian, so Khloe Kardashian posted a picture of True. She was holding her and she disabled comments.

And she said it was because of a lot of racist remarks, which she does get, which is insane. But a lot of people are accusing her of photoshopping True. So her face looks very, she uses Facetune, which you can soften your skin. And the thing that most people have pointed out is that the whites in trues eyes are very very white. So you could, that's a thing

as well. It's a giveaway. Is that a sign? Do you always see people using Facetune and they do it too much? It's like you don't look like a doll. Like, come on. And like softening skin, like people will, you can see like you've got blurry

skin. It effectively makes you, like you know the Snapchat filters where you're a dog? It basically kind of fuzzes your face, doesn't it? It does. So what's the deal? What does it do? What does it do?

Does it take out wrinkles? Well, you can do anything. You can take out wrinkles. You can widen your teeth, your eyes. Make your eyes bigger. You could... How do you make your eyes bigger? You stretch it.

You select the centre of your eye and you stretch. No, because the sensors detect your face and so it detects all the different parts of your face. Okay.

So it will find your eyes and you just go, like, make your eyes bigger and then it makes your eyes bigger. Right. How long does it take? It just does it itself. You don't have to stretch

your eyes out or anything like that. Because imagine if you put your face in and it got the rainbow wheel or a thought for ages and it crashed your phone because it was like, I don't even know where to start. or anything like that. Because imagine if you put your face in and it got the rainbow wheel or a thought phase and it crashed your phone because it was like, I don't even know where to start. It's like too hard, mate, too hard. Yeah.

But the new iPhone, they're saying the new camera on the iPhone, the selfie cam, is smoothing people out. Is it? Right. Yeah. Because it's got multiple cameras. So what it does is it takes like, you'd go to take a photo, it'll take like 20 photos and merge it into one. But it has a

smoothing effect. Right. So could it be that they're just using that and the kids are looking... It looks more natural than this, like it doesn't... Yeah, right. It's harder to tell the difference. They just did some side-by-sides compared to the older phones. But she wouldn't be the only one. There'd be mums out there that Photoshop.

I don't know, kids? How bad, like, because you look at your own child and you're like, you're the most amazing, gorgeous thing in the world. But you could be better. Well, no, because there's some fitness bloggers who have been called out for, they've got their little kid in the picture and one of their legs is really skinny,

but it didn't work on the other leg. So they've got, like, mismatched legs and one of their legs is really skinny but it didn't work on the other leg. So they've got mismatched legs and then the background is classically warped because you've pulled in the leg. Whose leg? The baby's leg. What is wrong with Are they taking away the fat leg? That's the cutest thing about babies. You're telling your seven month old daughter that already

it's legs too fat. Come on. No one's looking at a kid and being like, oh, that's fat. Oh, yeah. Well, I mean, they do. No, but they're meant to have little, well-dressed, chubby legs. They're meant to be chubby, are they? Yeah.

And they grow into their bodies. Yeah. Yeah. But I don't want to throw spoozions too much because I haven't had a kid yet. You haven't finally shown out your kid's baby acne, like that hormonal acne they get. You're like,, showing your kids baby acne, like that hormonal acne they get. You're like, oh babes. I'll put some cover on there and then we'll just use a filter.

Don't worry about it. Don't worry about it. The Top Six with Vaughan Smith. Hello there. Today's Top Six signs your polytechnics and institutes of technology are short of cash.

There's some around the country that 10 of which are expected to have deficits, so meaning that they're actually going to be running at a loss. A lower number of full-time students apparently to blame. And there's like, I don't want to freak anybody out by mentioning they're like specific,

but I mean, if you have a Google, you'll probably find out. Right, okay. I mean, it's not that you've got anything to worry about. It's not like they're shutting down. No. But, um... It's sad, though. Yeah, totally. Totally.

Some of these places are kind of keeping little towns going, too. Well, because I didn't... That's the thing. I didn't go to a university. I went to a polytech, now called an institute, because it sounds flasher. But, you know. Yeah, so did we. But there are still polytechnics.

Yeah. So, the top six signs your polytechnics or institutes of technology are short of cash are number six, your guest lecturer this week is an SPCA rescue chicken. Because it's not only a lecturer, but it was free from the SPCA and it lays eggs that they can eat for breakfast. I'd love to see a chicken, an SPCA chicken teach welding. Would lack the dexterity in its wings to hold

both aspects of the welding, wouldn't it? It would. It might be able to hold it, but it wouldn't be able to steady it. Or it can hold with the foot and do the welding bit with its beak. Got it to catch on fire. And where would it get a little welding helmet from? Because you don't want to get

welding blindness. Especially, they've been through a lot, these SPCA rescue chickens. They've been through so much. Yeah. Number five on the list of the top six signs

your polytechs are short of cash. Your polytechnic is now just called a plushed, plushednik because they couldn't afford the $50 for the valves. Okay.

Wheel of Fortune gag. I don't know how many people are aware that valves cost $50 on Wheel of Fortune. Real niche gag there for those that used to watch Wheel of Fortune. For fans of, you know, 90s game shows. Yeah. Well, no, remember it made a comeback in the 2000s. It did make a comeback in the 2000s. Late 2000s.

Yeah. But the prizes, was it the prizes that weren't as impressive? Because in the 80s and 90s, when you won a car, it was a pretty massive deal. But now everyone's just hawking cars left, right, and centre. Speaking of which, we're going to be in Christchurch later on this week giving away a car. We are.

Number four on the list of the top six signs your polytechnics or institutes of technology are short of cash. Your statistics paper is just a trip to the casino. And if you win the two to some sweet cash, you pass the paper. Okay. Sort of game of chance there, isn't it? Yeah. House always wins, though.

Number three on the list of the top six signs your polytechs or institutes are short of cash. Once a week, your tutorial class is just a Tupperware party where your tutor tries to get you to spend up large on Tupperware containers using your student allowance. Course-related costs. Yeah. Yeah. You need these. Is anyone buying Tupperware containers using your student allowance. Course-related costs. Yeah. Yeah. You need these.

Is anyone buying Tupperware anymore? I thought everyone was Sustamer. No, I think they made a bit of a resurgence-style Tupperware. Oh, yeah. The problem is, Tupperware is its own worst enemy. It lasts too long. But my mum's got Tupperware that she got for her bridal... What did they call it?

I think you're going to say 21st. I was like, shit, present. She probably did get some for 21st as well. It was around the same time. Tupperware with lids. Yeah. Cool. Big set of it though, sitting at home in the 80s.

Yeah, true. Did you have one of those beetroot things? Yes, mum had one of those. You put the beetroot in and you pulled it up and the juice stayed in the bottom. Oh, that's clever. And then you'd pick the beetroot out that you need and then you'd put it back in the juice and it would put the beetroot in and you pulled it up and the juice stayed in the bottom. Oh, that's clever. And then you'd pick the beetroot out that you need and then you'd put it back in the juice and it would keep the beetroot from drying out.

And you'd make that noise. You'd be like, like you were submersing. It was great fun. It was good fun. Or you weren't allowed to drop it because then the beetroot would splash out. I want one of those now.

They were really good. I want the beetroot that you ate. I don't eat beetroot, but I just want one of those. Well, you could probably use it for a range of just anything you need to keep. Fruits. Yeah, maybe.

Wet. Yeah, okay. Peaches. If you had a bulk amount of peaches, you could use it for peaches. Delicious peaches. Peaches. Number two on the list of the top six signs your politics are running out of money. Just like church, they pass around the collection plate 20 minutes from the end.

If you could just chip in. Just chip in. We've got to pay the power bill. Anything you can afford. You're not trusting students with a plate full of money. No, your fingers would be in as well. And the number one sign that your Polytech or Institute of Technology is short on cash, your lecturers are running the sausage sizzles outside the warehouse at the weekend.

Raising money for you guys going overseas. Huh? No, just trying to educate the youth. Stay ahead of the debt collectors. That is today's top six. Let's talk about the Black Eyed Peas because they performed at the AFL Grand Final pre-game show. So they were in Australia and they were performing

and it's what Will.i.am did specifically. They've got people talking on Twitter. So apparently some people were saying am I seeing things or did Will.i.am just like get on his phone while they were performing on stage? There's a picture of him too.

He's like got his microphone down. He's just like oh what's happening on my phone? Was this at the sports ground? Yeah. While they're performing? While they're performing on stage. Before the AFL grand final. But was another band member doing their thing

and it goes on for like 30 seconds? Oh, yeah, it wasn't his turn. Right. It was the Black Eyed Peas' very turn-based band. Yeah. Your turn to boo. Yeah, you'd still want them to be present. Because they're not touring with Fergie.

Maybe they were playing a Fergie bit. Yeah, maybe. And they were just like, let her do her thing. How did they do all the songs that Fergie was in without Fergie touring? Yeah, I don't know. Like, where is the love? They must play, or do they have someone else filling in for her now? I think they just play a backing track.

Well, they don't do them. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know. So he has responded and said, sharing on socials isn't checking my phone mid song. That's me being a performer and cameraman showing the world how awesome Australia is. I wanted to see the world,

see Australia from my point of view. And that point of view is awesome. Someone said, yeah, I think you're a genius, but your performance seemed like lacklustre. You were bored and then you started fiddling with your phone. So it doesn't even sound like he was like taking a photo because you know how performers are like, I'm going to take your picture. Yeah, you get the crowd all jazzed for it and then they don't mind

or you'd say, oh, I'm just going to whack a caption on that one. Hold on. It wasn't as if he was taking photos of the crowd. He was literally just fiddling with his phone. Although he's quite a wheel-a-dealer businessman, eh? He's quite entrepreneurial. He might have been like waiting for a deal to come through. What businesses will I have? But like, just wait a minute until you get off stage. He's quite a wheel-a-dealer businessman, eh? He's quite entrepreneurial. He might have been like waiting for a deal to come through.

Because Will.i.am have, what businesses does Will.i.am have? But like, just wait a minute until you get off stage and then carry on. Right. Yeah, I don't know. But off the back of Will.i.am fiddling with his phone on stage, I'd love to know when you got in trouble for going on your phone. Oh, you're like at a work meeting or something? Yes.

Vaughn's always in trouble. I'm a wheel-a-dealer though. Much like Will.i. Vaughn's always in trouble. Constantly. I'm a wheeler dealer, though. Much like Will.i.am, my tech startup, I.am Plus raised $117 million in venture funding. See what I mean? He's probably waiting for a deal to come through, and he's like, well, I'm on stage. This hobby's inconvenient.

I sound like he did one song, My musical hobby is getting right in the way. So it would have been like four minutes that he had to be preoccupied until Yeah. Until he got off stage. And let's get it started. Yeah. Fergie heavy song. Yeah. Yeah.

Maybe they were playing the Fergie bit. Maybe. All right. So when have you been in trouble for being on your phone? Yeah. Maybe you just got a bit bored or sidetracked. Maybe you're with your partner. But it's hard if you're somewhere and you feel the vibrations of your phone in your pocket.

You do get phantom vibrations? Yeah, I do. When you always think it's your phone. Yeah, but it's not. You can really, if you feel it going and maybe you are somewhere and you're just like, well, I'll just have a little check. Just a little wee nosy. Check it under the desk. It's bad when you're with your partner though and you're supposed to be having like adult time.

I was telling my wife off on the weekend we were watching movies and she kept checking her phone. Yeah. And I'd say, excuse me, you wanted to watch this because I was going to play Spider-Man, but somebody wanted to watch a movie.

So I'm watching. Are you watching? I'm just looking up this part. I was like, no, you're not. I can see what's on your screen. Unless you're trying to find the Instagram account of this awful movie you forced me to watch. I don't think you were.

Was there a hottie on screen? Because that's a classic. Try and find the Instagram account of the hottie on screen. Oh, everyone knows you go to IMDB to find the hottie's name first. Yeah, right.

Just if they're actually hot or if it was just movie effects. But I don't know. I think it's weird when you're a grown adult getting told off for being on your phone, isn't it?

Just being told off. Just being told off. You just like, oh, okay. I don't like being told off. Because some people don't like on your phone, isn't it? Just being told off. Just being told off. You just like, oh, okay. I don't like being told off. Because some people don't like it in meetings, eh, though. Because you're not paying attention or something. You're supposed to be paying attention to what they're paying.

Yeah, but it's further proof to me that this meeting could have been an email. Exactly. We're talking about when you got in trouble for checking your phone because Will.i.am was performing in Australia with the Black Eyed Peas and he was on his phone. He said he was checking socials. This would have been televised as well because it was pre-AFL. I thought it might have just been

one of the gigs they're doing there. Can't have been a long show. Like those pre-footy shows are always like what, three songs? And the picture I've got looks like a screenshot from the TV.

So he was caught with the camera checking his phone. Like that bored. With that bored on stage. Just been like, sheesh. Well, somebody says there is a new Fergie because we wondered what they were doing with Fergie. Right.

The Fergie parts because all the big Black Eyed Peas songs are Fergie heavy. Yeah. And someone said there's a new Fergie and she sucks. Oh. That's their thoughts. So he may have been looking for a new, new Fergie on his phone for the next gig. Why can't people, I don't know, yeah, I don't know.

Why can't people what? Why can't people what? No, I've just been sidetracked by the text machine. Sorry. Oh, okay. When I was, some text messages in, when I was in high school, year nine, I confirmed to my teacher that I may receive a call

in regards to my sister going into labour. And she said, that's lovely. Answer it if you need to. Turns out when my phone rung, she was completely not okay with it, snatching it off me and slamming it shut. That was a flip phone. I believe we've got that person on the phone.

Sarah. Hello, Sarah. Hi, how are you? Good, good. So what happened after the teacher took the phone off you? You just left hanging in limbo. What's the story? I was kind of shocked, as I said in the text,

that she confirmed that I could answer the phone. And it was the day that we had like an exchange with another high school called the Blood Batch and we were all walking over to the Blood Batch and I sat back into the class she seen me, stole the phone, I told her to go get F

and left the school. So you just left the school? Maybe it was that altercation that got you in trouble. It may have been telling the teacher to get off that caused the issues. Yeah. So if your sister's in labour, like, that's a good enough excuse, isn't it? To be on your phone? She was getting rushed to hospital as well due to complications.

So it sort of just made me angry. Yeah, right. Because they were trying to, like, bring me for support. But, yeah. Right. So you leave school, you get to the hospital on time? I didn't need to go into the hospital. My mum ended up saying to me to calm down and go back to school and sort it out.

Calm down. Go and tell the teacher to un-eff themselves. All right. Thanks you, cool Sarah. Somebody else messaged in saying that their partner checked his phone mid-adult fun times. He claimed he was waiting for a call from his grandparents who were overseas. Yeah, but you'd hear a call. Yes, my response was the phone will ring if they call.

Yeah. We're not together anymore. No one would care. Who's thinking of Nan? No one's waiting for their grandparents to call, are they? No. They might be, but as I say, the phone would ring. That was a bad excuse. Call them back with the number

that popped up on screen. Yeah. No one's thinking, gosh, I hope Nan calls right now. God, who's that bored, eh? Grab the phone. That's the immediate response is that you're bored. When using the men's urinal, I was sending a text, as you do. Oh yeah. Texting in your... Can you do that? That's gross.

Why? Why is it gross? No, because your other hand's holding. It's a one-hand yeah. Texting in your... How can you do that? Yeah. That's gross. Why? Why is it gross? No, because your other hand's holding. It's a one-hand task. So you don't... You get it out and you get your phone out. And you can be like... But you must have a long way because generally by the time I'd get my phone out and unlock it,

I'd be finished. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But, you know, sometimes you're just in one of those slow motion modes. I was taking a while. Guy walked in, stood next to me. Shock, yeah. But, you know, sometimes you're just in one of those slow motion modes. But this person said it was taking a while. Guy walked in, stood next to me, shock horror, thinking I'd have my phone out ready for someone to stand beside me to take a photo of their willy. Oh, right.

And he hit me up about it. I said, come on, man. I'm just trying to send a text. I'm trying to multitask here. Who would be that brazen? To take a picture of someone like that. Of course no one's doing that. Like, are they?

I don't know. Maybe. But then that's the thing. You always hold it to the side because you don't want to hold it out front. You don't want to hit in the urinal. And you don't want to drop it. You don't want to drop it. That's why you hold it to the side.

You want a chance to kick it away with your foot so it doesn't drop into the urinal. Yeah. You know sometimes when you sit on the toilet for a while and you just get sidetracked? Once you're standing in a urinal and you're done, do you sometimes just stand there if you're looking at your phone? Just like sidetracked? Nah. Oh, okay. Nah. Once you're standing in a urinal and you're done, do you sometimes just stand there if you're looking at your phone? Just like sidetracked? Nah. Oh, okay.

Nah. Because it's standing. Yeah, right. And other people come in. Yeah, okay. But if you're sitting, yeah, for sure. Okay. Like an excessively long time.

Right. It's just I've never experienced one. I just want to know the ins and outs. It's a great time. Yeah. It's a great time. There's a whole etiquette to it. You easily could experience it.

People do. Like that time, remember R.I.P. Big Day Up? Yeah, the Big Day Up girl that used to urinate. Backed up into the urinal. She just backed it straight up. Never seen anything quite like that in my life. What would happen to her? Like, she's someone's mum now.

Maybe. Because that was quite a few big, that would have been at least 10 years ago. Yeah. Oh. Like, she could have a six or seven-year-old now. She could have a couple of kids even. Yeah. And she may have even like

during toilet training. Yeah. Like one of them just like took their pants down and piddled somewhere and she's like oh come on. And then in the back of her head she was like I deserve this. She ducked. Could totally have happened. Going gluten free could affect your love life.

You could end up single because almost half of people in the world judge someone who's on a gluten-free diet. I thought you meant like you needed the energy from bread. But a lot of people are actually gluten intolerant. Like they can't help it. Yeah. Being gluten-free. Well, most people assume.

So it's 44% assume that people who eat a gluten-free diet are high maintenance and have said they wouldn't date someone who was gluten-free. I would have thought, I'm going to throw this out there, wouldn't it be harder to date a vegan than someone gluten-free? And nothing against vegans. Each to their own, you do you.

But if you're not... But it's a vastly different lifestyle. Like gluten-free people still get to eat bread, they just have to eat the gluten-free cardboard. I always wonder if vegans are okay dating meat-eaters, because here's the... kiss them.

Oh, you'd have to mouthwash after dinner. Yeah, but even then, there's still residue, you know? Even if you mouthwash. They've still eaten meat. And a vegan's quite like a, um, it's more than, like, gluten-free is a dietary choice, but veganism

seems to be a lifestyle. Like, the whole lifestyle of it. And can you even stand someone who's literally, like, cutting up meat when you completely don't believe in it? Yeah, exactly. So, 30% think that they're selfish people who are gluten free. But they can't help it.

Well, no, some people are just gluten free because they like the lifestyle. Yeah. Yeah. Not celiac. They don't like carbs. And 14% presume they must be arrogant. So if they go on a date, like 44% of people, if they go on a date and they find out that they're gluten free would be like, no, I, if they go on a date and they find out that they're gluten-free,

would be like, no, I'm sorry. Wow. That's quite high, right? Because gluten-free is easy now. So what's easier, you see so much. There's a whole aisle in the supermarket. But my immediate thought would be like, oh heck, you're going to cost a lot to keep in business.

No, but it's not even that expensive. It is. Like a loaf of bread's like eight bucks for a good bread. Oh yeah, a nice chair bar. And it's one of those small loaves. Yes. Yeah. So like that's going to cost.

Because every time I'd be like, do you want any toast? Yeah, a couple of pieces. I'd be like, Jesus. It's the expensive bread. That's a dollar worth of bloody toast popping down there. But from the vegan side, wouldn't it be more expensive to date a meat eater? Because they're just eating veggies. Oh, yeah, I guess.

Although those are expensive. Veggies. Yeah. Oh, yeah, they can be very expensive. Yeah, and then, oh, yeah, you've got to get protein from somewhere. Would vegan be? I've never even thought about the cost of it. It wouldn't be a cheaper thing, would it?

Because you've got to buy all the... Still got to buy tofu and... Yeah. Pastes. I don't know. Pastes of what? Like curry paste. Like...

See, you'd be high maintenance as well, Megan. I know, because quinoa and that. And you're not even vegan or gluten free. I just eat chicken. But you eat weird...

You don't eat a lot of things. No, see, the thing about you is when someone's like, you're vegan, you're like, well, straight up, that's at least you're honest. Yeah. Like you're going to be difficult to feed. Okay. I appreciate the heads up. You're no longer invited.

But with Megan, it's an undercover hard to deal with. She's like, oh, you know, I'm not vegan. I'm not gluten. And then you get there and she's like, but I you know, I'm not vegan. I'm not gluten. And then you get there and she's like, but I will tell you now that we're here, I don't eat the following. This, this, this, this, this, this, this, this.

Anything from the sea. Anything that's delicious. Anything that's gamey. Sugar. Anything that's not chicken. Anything with sugar in it. No, but that's what's fun about me is that if you date me, I cook because it's easier for me.

So I'll do the cooking. Which Mr. Toyboy loves. Yeah. So then I can sort myself out. But it's when we go out that you guys are like, oh my God. Yeah, because you order a bowl of dust. We just like live a little. Producer Caitlin, would you date someone that was gluten free or vegan?

Would that be a turn off for you? Because you don't eat a lot of meat. No. So when we were getting pizza on the weekend, I just picked off the cute animal and gave it to you. Oh, my God, it was so great. So I got all the, like, peperoni. You got, like, double sausage.

I got double sausage. But the sausage was still on the bit of pizza that you ate. Yeah, I know, but I didn't want to eat the sausage. I just wanted to eat the stuff around it. Right. You need the sausage, though. This guy's rolling in sausage. There's no sausage shortage over here.

And you... No, I'm good. I'm good. You need the iron of the sausage. Nah. She's all good after the weekend. Did you get some sausage at the weekend? No, I didn't.

Megan just sold you out to the nation. I didn't need the sausage on the pizza, Megan. But you did get some later on. No, I didn't. Wait, is it a youthism for later? No, I didn't eat the sausage on the pizza, Megan. But you did get some later on. No, I didn't. Wait, is it a youthism for later? No, I didn't have any sausage. Your Honour. I don't eat cute animals, guys.

Did you have some sea sausage? That's my defence and I'll stick with it. Anyway, no, I want... Wait on, what's sea sausage? Am I missing something? Even James is lost in this metaphor. Stop it. Stop it. Was he in the Navy? Was he in the Navy? Oh lost in this metaphor. Stop it.

Was he in the Navy? Was he in the Navy? Oh, I get it. Sea sausage. Wait, we're so late for the ads. I get it. Press the button, Fletch. No, we're talking about your night.

What happened? No, we're not. We're talking about if I date a vegan or a gluten-free person. Was he? Oh, my God. Get your own lives. Stop trying to make mine more interesting than it was. Because it's sometimes hard to keep meat fresh at sea.

Okay. Fletch. All right, spies coming up. Kayla must have had a great night on Saturday after she left my house. Yeah, um, no So over the weekend Facebook had 50 million users' accounts exposed to hackers If you were logged out Saturday morning

you went to use Facebook and it's like you're going to need to log back in you may have been one of the ones affected So, because I was wondering how many people have it and I've just googled more than 1 billion people are active on Facebook So, I mean was wondering how many people have it, and I've just Googled, more than one billion people are active on Facebook. So, I mean, that's a small percentage of one billion. Fifty million.

What's that? Well, a billion is a thousand millions. Okay. So not that small in the scheme of things. Oh, it's still a huge breach, yeah. Yeah. But there's still a good chance you haven't been affected. Just still trying to do the scheme of things. Oh, it's still a huge breach, yeah. But there's still a good chance you haven't been affected.

Just still trying to do the math by hand. I haven't heard of anyone that I know that's been affected. No. But there is a way to tell if you were, and that is if yesterday morning when you woke up. Or Saturday morning. Sorry, Saturday morning when you woke up, you were logged out of Facebook.

You had to log back in. That means that Facebook did that as a precaution. And you need to change your password. Because apparently they accessed anything you logged into with Facebook. So, I mean, I log into my Spotify, anything like that. People log into Tinder, apps with Facebook. Yeah. So any of those that use the same password, you need to change. You need a big Facebook, which is a pain.

You've got to set aside half a day for that nonsense. I know. Do you think it's worth just changing it anyway to be safe? Oh, do I have to? Yeah, it's a pain. Also, I'm just kind of annoyed that they didn't, why didn't they want my Facebook? What's wrong with my details?

I don't know. You should be happy this hasn't, you should be happy you're not. I am. Handpicked 50 million people to hack. Oh, so it wasn't like the best on Facebook. No, no. It wasn't like the hottest people.

So they were selling like these logins on like the dark net. Oh, really? Yeah. So, I mean, if you were selling like these logins on like the dark net. Oh, really? Yeah, so I mean, if you had to log in, you need to change your password. So what were they selling them for? Why would people want to buy? Well, I don't know. I don't know what people get out of it. They can, I don't know, I guess hackers can get money out of you.

Or maybe hold you to ransom. From like conversations you've had or something. Yeah, maybe. But that's a lot of accounts to sift through in the hope of finding something juicy. Like how many of the 50 million accounts were mums? Like mums and aunties and stuff. How's the weather, Cheryl? Yeah.

Oh, it's great, Wendy. I was in the garden all day. It was a lovely day. How are you? Yeah, a lot of boring stuff. Big gap. Good. Thumbs up.

End of conversation. Like they've got a lot to filter through. Yeah. So apparently this is, yeah, massive Facebook. And they knew for a week, end of conversation. Like, they've got a lot to filter through. Yeah. So, apparently this is, yeah, massive Facebook. And they knew for a week, by the way, and didn't say anything. Were they hoping that was just going to, like, go away? I think so. And then also, like, it's come to light that how to hack Facebook videos

were hosted on YouTube around the time of the hack and after. Like... Oh, really? Yeah. around the time of the hack and after. Oh, really? Yeah. So I think there was a vulnerability and they knew about it, didn't fix it. And so it took a week and someone found it. Thanks, Mark. Crazy, eh?

Thanks. Thanks, Mark Zuckerberg. I'm so glad that you... He came out and said, well, I've been affected too, whether or not that was to take, you know... Just say that you got hacked as well. A bit more relatable, yeah. Guys, that happened to me too, whether or not that was to take, you know. Just say that you got hacked as well. Make it a bit more relatable, yeah.

Guys, that happened to me too. It's okay. Yeah. It's, you know, they could see some of my saucier conversations, which for a robot, you know, I've advanced. It's very saucy. Everyone should have like two-factor authentication on, like your double security.

So if anybody does try to get your details, they've got to, you know, send a text to your phone. Yeah, but wouldn't Mark Zuckerberg have that? Without a doubt. Well, yeah. So how are they hacking him? Well, you can still get people's details. It just means they can't log in.

Okay. They can still get your details, but yeah. Man, yeah, I get those all the time. I got two this morning. I woke up to, and it always comes through as text messages. Yeah, but that's because you've got Vaughn as your Facebook thing, isn't it? But see, it's like your two-factor authentication for Facebook is this code, and it's like this code is your Facebook reset code or reset your...

Look at that. Look at the history of this. Yeah, but that says more about your name. Like Vaughn's a stupid. Like they can't remember their login details. And then they forget, so they just put in Vaughn. Vaughn. Here I am.

Oh, reset password. It's probably like Vaughn69 or Vaughn. Here I am. Oh, we said password. It's probably like Vaughn69 or VaughnRoxyBunny or something like that, you know. Oh, we're a prolific bunch for using a sexy number or, you know, animal. Yeah. FEM. This Friday, we're giving away a

$10,000 car thanks to Stadium Cars in Christchurch. This all came about because Caitlin was hit and run about this time last week, wasn't it? Tuesday. Tuesday, yeah. Tuesday night. In a car.

In a car, yeah. Both parties were in a car. And yours is written off. Yeah. And Stadium Cars heard about this. They reached out and said, we'll give Caitlin a car. But you've got insurance.

Like, you don't need a $10,000 car, Caitlin. How dare you get something like that? I know. How dare you? Well. We're great for it. No, we thought we can't just give away, we can't just give Caitlin a car.

We want to at least make it interesting. So we're doing a raffle, a giant raffle, and it will be Christchurch versus Caitlin, because Caitlin will have a 50% chance of winning this car. So each raffle ticket we give to someone of Christchurch, Caitlin will get one raffle ticket as well. So it's like a meat raffle, but instead of a mince pack, it's a car. It's a car.

It's a Suzuki Swift, a 2012. It's so cute. It's very cute. And the raffle tickets don't cost anything. It's absolutely free. You've just got to be there on Friday at 10 past 8. I am seeing a 60% chance of precipitation. With an umbrella.

With a rain... Or a poncho. Or a poncho. So we're going to be in the car park of Countdown and BK on Morehouse. So if you want a free ticket and a chance to win a car, Friday morning, 10 past 8. Otherwise, we are going to take six callers from anywhere in the country and we will have someone standing in for you in the raffle.

And then we'll draw it out. So you've got a 50% chance versus the people of Christchurch, Caitlin. I think it's a pretty good odds. It's a win-win for you, though, because you'll still get a car with insurance money. Yeah. Maybe just not as a nicer odds. It's win-win for you, though, because you'll still get a car with insurance money. Yeah. Maybe just not as a nicer one. Yeah.

But if you got this one, you could spend your insurance money on some racing stripes. Yeah, some car accessories. Maybe some Playboy bunnies. Maybe I could get a cool new personalised number plate. Oh, yeah. If you could have any personalised plate. Double Ds is taken. Double Ds is taken. Damn it. Because it yeah. If you could have any personalised plate. Double D's is taken.

Double D's is taken. Damn it. Smashed into you. It would be my Fortnite name, Katie No Haiti. Too long. Oh, okay.

Too long. I don't know. But one thing we've decided we do need if we're giving away a car are... Oh, Fletch, where's my sound?

That was supposed to be a seamless move from one thing we need if we're giving away a car are... Oh, Fletch, where's my sound? That was supposed to be a seamless move from... One thing we need if we're giving away a car is... Wacky waving inflatable arm flailing tube man. Wacky waving inflatable arm flailing tube man. Wacky waving inflatable arm flailing tube man. Hi, I'm Al Harrington, president and CEO of Al Harrington's Wacky waving inflatable arm flailing tube man emporium in Warehouse.

Yes. Yes, yes, yes. We need a wacky waving inflatable arm flailing tube man emporium. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. We need a wacky waving inflatable arm tube man. You can't be a car yard without one of these. I wouldn't have thought so. I feel like New Zealand car yards and just New Zealanders don't embrace the inflatable tube man. Say the fair few car yards with inflatable things, but not the constantly inflating, wabling, flailing, flailing.

We ask stadium cars if they've got one, Caitlin, we should ask them. Yeah, text race. They might have one on hand. But if they, we need one of these. Yeah, 100. Because I remember when I was last. Why stop at one?

I think we need multiple. Multiple. Because nothing says like car, a free car. Yeah. Like inflatable. I think we should sit them in the car and then poke their heads out the window and their arms out the window.

So there's like four of them and they're just having like the time of their life. Yeah. So I feel like last time I was in Australia, I saw heaps of them. I don't know, on the way to the airport in Melbourne, they've got heaps of them, all the car yards. Right.

And even like not car yards, like random businesses. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. Australians do love them. Just like stop in here. Like market sorts of things. Australians like specials and stuff. So does anybody know where we can borrow one of these inflatable wavy arm tube men?

Or four or five. Or eight. Sure. Have you seen a business with one or do you work at a place that has them? Or do you sell them? Or do you sell them? Because you're putting them on AliExpress. Yeah, but the old AliExpress postage, we don't have time.

We need this with haste. We need this on Friday. We'll give it back. We just want to borrow it, right? Yeah, and all care, no responsibility. Yeah, like if we break it, what? What? Because they just plug into the mains, eh?

Yeah, and a fan in the bottom inflates them and the air escapes out the end of the arms. That's why they flail around. If anyone knows where we can get one of those and borrow it, 0800 DARS AT M text through 9696. Because that's going to be

the icing on the cake. Also, I've been running a bit of a to-do list. We've got a next on the agenda. How are we going to raffle the tickets? Because you know those little books you get from like Whitcalls

and the stationery stores? That's not going to be enough. Are we going to double up? But then we don't want to double up with the same numbers in car. No, no, no. Otherwise four people might think they've won a car. That's a huge amenity. And that would be an absolute disaster for us because that would have to come out of your wages, Megan.

Why my wages? We've got to start with someone's wages. And you're alphabet start with someone's wages. And you're alphabetically right in the middle. So you start in the middle and you work your way out. You work your way down. Vaughan. And then up to Caitlin. Right.

Yeah. Yeah. Oh, no, wait. Am I before? No, I'm after Caitlin. Whether you're going by Carl or Fletch. Well, someone argued go straight to the Hosking of the show. Who's that? I don't know.

I was going to say who claimed it. No one's claiming that. No one's claiming that. For standing back there like, am I being labelled? If anyone's got loafers, Megan, it's you. You are the Hosking of the show. Yeah. Mosh Monday.

We're here to hit you in the feels after the weekend. In a new segment we've started, we are joined by Hannah this morning. Good morning, Hannah. Good morning. Are you vulnerable after the weekend, Hannah, emotional? Yeah, most weekend. You kind of set the scene for us. You don't tell us the song until just before we play it,

but you tell us where you were at at the time and why the song is so emotional for you. So tell us about it. Okay, so I was 16 years old and I had been dating my boyfriend for a year. Okay.

It was a long distance relationship so we used to fly up and down most weekends to see each other. How, where would you fly from and to? Wellington to Brisbane.

Wow. Okay. Okay. Regional route. So we were pretty smitten with each other but come Valentine's Day, which I believe

is every girl's favourite day of the year. Yeah. As long as you're in a relationship. Yeah. Not to mention it was also three days after our one year anniversary and I think at that age it's a pretty big

deal. Okay. Cute. He'd organised and sent me a really cute card and some flowers and so my day was made. Pretty stoked. But at the end of the day, he sent me a novel of a text breaking up with me.

No! On the same day, he sent you flowers and like a Valentine's present. Yeah. And then he broke up with me, but not because he wanted to, but because his mum didn't like me.

Could he not have at least waited until February 15? Yeah. Like the next day? Yeah. So, yeah, my sister still remembers to this day how I ran out of my room screaming and crying. Why didn't his mum like you? She just thought, like, honestly, I have no idea.

She just didn't like me. Obviously, she was just overprotective. Taking her son away. And was that it? Did you ever hear from him again? Oh, yeah, 100%. He's still in touch with him. Will you ever get back together?

No, I'm engaged now. Oh! Okay. Wow. Okay. Wow. Okay, wow. So you got broken up with, it's Valentine's Day, and this song I'm assuming is all over the place. Yeah, at that time definitely.

Well, I wouldn't say huge, but to me it was. Okay, and so this is your song for Mosh Mondays. Would you like to introduce it? So my song for Mosh Mondays is Broken Strings by James Morrison and Nelly Furtado. Oh, it's a good one. It's a good one. The breakup song. In the feels, Mosh Monday.

Hannah, thank you so much. Thank you, guys. See them. Let me hold you for the last time. It's the last chance to feel again. But you broke me, now I can't even convince myself When I'm speaking It's the voice of someone else Oh, it tears me up I try to hold on but it hurts too much I try to forgive But it's not enough

To make it all okay You can't play on broken chains You can't feel anything That your heart don't want to feel I can't tell you something that ain't real The truth hurts The lies worse I cannot get any more

When I love you a little less Than before Oh, we're burning through the fire when there's nothing left to save It's like chasing the very last train

when we both know it's too late Too late You can't play on broken strings You can't play on broken strings You can't feel anything That your heart don't want to feel I can't tell you something that ain't real

All the truth was a lie's worst song I cannot give any more When I loved you a little less than before Oh, you know that I loved you a little less than before Let me hold you for the last time It's the last chance to feel again ZM, Fleets, Morning Megan, it's Mosh Monday. Hannah's emotional song, James Morrison, Nelly Furtado, Broken Strings.

I was ready for that song today. I don't like something's mosh. Saturday morning, you would have thought I started World War III at a bottomless brunch, a seemingly harmless bottomless brunch. No bottomless brunch is ever harmless.

Yeah, you're right. You're drinking in the morning. I know, and they keep coming, they keep topping it up. What's the deal with this bottomless brunch situation? You just pay so much and then you just get tanked. It was $45, wasn't it, Katie? I don't know, I can't remember. That's keep topping it up. What's the deal with this bottomless brunch situation? You just pay so much and then you just get tanked. It was $45, wasn't it, Katie? I don't know. I can't remember.

That's not going to last. That's not going to last in New Zealand. They'll be out of business. You get a set menu and you choose like four or five different breakfast options. Yeah. And I chose the pancakes and got two small pikelets. While other people had a large breakfast burger or hollandaise. That's out of whack.

I'm going to write a complaint letter. Yeah. That's not what I want toandaise. That's out of whack. I'm going to write a complaint letter. That's not what I want to talk about. That's not the issue. So it was a surprise. Sounds like a pretty important issue to me though. It was a surprise

birthday party for a friend of the show, Mandy McLean. No, I wasn't a friend of the show anymore. TV. No, we're not a friend of the show.

He's a mild associate. He's a mild associate of the show. It's because his boyfriend arranged it, so he was probably a bit stressed. We know him as well. I am surprised that Vaughn didn't get an invite, though,

because he has got a soft spot for Vaughn. Last puppy date we go on to, just by the way, Maddie. I think maybe his boyfriend might feel threatened by you because you're a bearded daddy. Actually, that's very true. Now I can understand if it was organised by Maddie's boyfriend, I can understand threat, because Maddie gets on very well with my father and me.

So there's a Smith double play there. You know, he feels sexually threatened by two heterosexual bear daddies. So we took lots of photos and I thought, I'm going to upload this photo. It's a great group shot. And I upload this photo. It's your... So I didn't at the time, I didn't realise what I was doing, but I upload this photo.

Are you kidding? You're looking at yourself. I uploaded a photo and as it turns out, after I'd posted it and it had been up for 15 minutes and everyone started seeing it, I didn't realise that Hayley and Caitlin, producer Caitlin, who was in the photo, had their eyes semi-closed. They weren't happy with the photo. She had her eyes like closed. Like. They weren't happy with the photo. She had her eyes, like, closed.

Like, she looked terrible in it. I looked really bad because it was a bad angle of me and someone should have told me to, like, change my angles. And it was just, you didn't consult us at all. You put up a photo of one of your friends with their eyes closed. But I had five, so I had five photos to choose from. It was, like, a burst. And I was only focusing on which one I didn't have my eyes closed in

and didn't look, you know, I mean, the best of a bad. I mean, this is textbook Fletch. I can't believe people were surprised that he would have even looked at anybody else. I saw that photo and I was like, huh, Fletch. It's textbook anyone. No, it's just you. I'm always in photos. I'm like, oh, you could have chosen a better one.

No, the girls, like I would always check with the girls in the group. You didn't check with anyone at all. I didn't know I had to check. It was fast and loose. There were better photos. And it was too late. I must have seen it first because when I saw that photo, I was like,

what's he done here? When you just uploaded it, I was like, oh, no, no, no. You would think I started World War 3. Everyone at the table was against me. Everyone. And I didn't hear the end of it

but I refused to take it down because I well I've posted it and it's already got likes. I don't want to repost it because Facebook Instagram will be like no he's doing the same photo.

We won't show it in the feed as much. It was yeah. Look. So your insights your insights are more important than your friendship. Yeah, basically. Than your friends.

Oh, my God. We already knew that, though, because we put up that photo. I'm not the only one that does this. I swear you do this all the time. No, Megan's really good. Megan checks. I always check. Yeah.

I'm like, let's collectively agree on which photo. And when she goes into the photo and if she's editing it, she'll edit the friends as well, which is really nice. It's weird because I don't take, like, I always look good in photos, so I don't ever have this issue. Like, I never, even with my eyes shut, people will be like, he's alluringly napping while he's standing. You don't really care, though, do you?

You just put it up. Nah. Yeah, right. So that's why, maybe it's a girl thing. But that's why when I take a photo of myself and my wife, I take heaps and I pass the phone to her and I'm like, you pick your one. You pick your favourite.

Oh, so you avoid this. See, Caitlin, as soon as Fletch takes a photo, you've got to ambush him and be like, show me, show me, show me, show me, and choose one together. I was not, but I was having bottomless brunch. Yeah. See, that's what I do.

I accost him in his phone until I delete every other one of them. She does. You just go in my phone. So, I want to find out if anybody else has uploaded a photo and it's caused trouble.

So, when did a photo upload cause trouble? Like, maybe friendships were tested. Maybe there was a no speaking period. And not just because someone looked bad?

Could it be for other reasons? The thing is, like, a friend might have a really good photo of them and sometimes you've just got to sacrifice your friend. What's the deal with, like, if there's a photo where you look really good but they look, you know, they've got their eyes shut, and then vice versa, but there's one photo where neither of you look that great but no one's got their eyes shut. Take another photo. Right, take more

photos. Or could you put an emoji over your friend's face? No. They didn't want to be in this. At least cut them out. You could have cut both of us out off the ends. I would have been more happy with that. Yeah, because the three central figures

in your photo, you, Morgan and Maddie looked good. Can I just point out, and I don't know if you'll like me saying this, but Hayley, whose eyes were shut, she got DM'd by someone who follows me, and they were really hot. So you're welcome. Even with her eyes shut.

Even with her eyes shut. Yeah. You're welcome. That might have actually just pulled her back down a couple of points so that this person believed she was obtainable. Because she's got two bung eyes. Okay.

So 0800-9666. When did a photo upload cause trouble with friends? You would have thought I started World War III at the weekend with a photo upload of a group of people, one of which had their eyes shut. And Caitlin is doing some kind of mid-twist in this group shot. I think she's setting herself up. Right, yeah.

You pulled the pin on a grenade and went skiddly-dee. I was trying to look, I was trying to get like a flattering angle, and then I didn't. I think everyone looks babin', though. Oh, you're just saying that because Hayley's got her eyes closed. Well, you can see the photo for yourself, Fletchenzie. Oh, no, don't. You love it when I plug my Instagram.

But I don't want people to see that photo. Oh, sorry.chenzie. Oh, no, don't. You love it when I plug my Instagram. But I don't want people to see that photo. Oh, sorry. You definitely don't go and see it. Good, that'll work, Caitlin. You are such a bitch. You're such a bitch. But to be fair, in all honesty. Do you have a photo that you're happy with from the other day?

Yeah, I put up one of me and Maddie McLean. Fletch should have to put a photo of you up. Yes. To make up for what? Let's put a cute photo of me and you up. From the weekend? Yeah, from Wah you up. Yes. Let's put a cute photo of me and you up. From the weekend. Yeah, from Wahia. Okay.

And he has to make it seem real natural, like throwback to the weekend with my best friend and that sort of thing. With my day. Just like the greatest Saturday on record.

Yes. Or we'll take one now and we'll pretend it was from the weekend. We'll see. I'll put you on my story, that Max. Okay.

So we want to know when uploading photo has caused dramas with friends. Some text messages in. My girlfriends and I were in Bali on holiday having a fantastic night on the drinks as you do. Doing touristy things like sitting on the back of mopeds as you do, falling off mopeds and taking pictures as you do. No, you don't. She looked cute and everything, but myself and my other girlfriend thought it was hilarious.

A photo of her after she fell off a moped. She didn't think it was hilarious. Friendship almost ended. Wow, and you're in Bali. What, so they didn't talk to each other? Well, yeah, I don't know. There was some silent treatment over the buffet breakfast at the hotel the next morning.

Well, if she hurt herself, of course it's not funny. You always got to check, like, are they laughing as well? See, I wish there was a photo of the time I fell off that bike in Greece and skidded under that delivery truck. Because what a story. Are you kidding? No, it was. To be fair, Megan, the road was very slippery. And there's no way those tyres would have had a

New Zealand warrant of fitness. Did you almost get hit by a delivery truck? I skidded under the delivery truck. Yeah, the delivery truck stopped over Vaughan's legs. Yeah. I was like under half by a delivery truck. I skidded under the delivery truck. Yeah, the delivery truck stopped over Vaughn's legs. Yeah. I was like under half under a delivery truck. How have I not heard this story? I don't think they used stones in their gravel on their roads.

No, it was very smooth. Very smooth. Like icing. It was like icing. And then Vaughn used his front brakes instead of the back brakes. I didn't have back brakes. In my defence. In your defence.

Sophie, when did a photo cause a tense time between friends? Hi, good morning. Good morning. Hi. You're very, can I just say you're too happy for Daylight Savings? Very, very happy. I tell you what, I'm struggling. I've had to wake two children up, get them to daycare,

and I'm already at work. Oh, that's right. You're happy you got rid of your two children. Yeah, yeah. No, my story was quite funny, actually. We've got some really, really good friends who generally aren't big social media posters. Anyway, they discovered they were pregnant with their first child

and instead of telling the group of close friends first, just decided to stick a public service announcement up on Facebook for the whole world to find out their news. And, yeah, didn't bother telling any friends first. And I tell you what, the text messages, as soon as everyone saw the post, just went nuts. And everyone was just completely offended that they weren't personally told first

that these friends of ours were expecting and instead the Facebook world found out at the same time that we all did. How dare they choose how to distribute your own news. I thought it would be easier to do. It's easier on Facebook because then everyone sees it. You don't have to tell everyone individually. Well, yeah, but then you just get all the riffraff finding

out at the same time. She's up a tier. I thought we were good friends. Yeah, you're top tier friends. She's in the inner sanctum. She doesn't want to be associated with the riffraff. There's so much etiquette in there. Sophie, thank you for your call.

Look, we're going to have to make up the backstory of this text message because it says, I have neighbours who don't talk to me over a photo of ham. What? No. Was it Christmas? Caitlin, can we please try to get that text on the phone? A backstory about ham. I don't know.

Can I talk over a photo of ham? A photo of ham. Okay. I mean, that could be their ham, maybe their pig got turned into ham. A Christmas ham. Somebody said, oh, now this is, I mean, this is a massive no-no. But somebody said, at my wedding, one of the bridesmaids uploaded an unflattering photo of me where she looked great.

It was like a selfie. So you've got two rule breaches here, I believe. Social media on the day. Social media on the day. And a photo where the bride doesn't look flattering. Because that's why the photographer takes 10 million photos at a wedding. It's so that they can choose to only show the bride the ones where she looks flatter. Always, always check with the bride that she likes that colour.

I wouldn't even do that on a wedding day. What, check with the bride? Even I know that. No, I wouldn't even upload. Oh, yeah, right. Somebody else says, a work function at a lake. I was very specific to a colleague whose camera and social media happy not to take photos of me. He got me in my swimsuit stand-up paddle boarding

and badly, by the way, badly stand-up paddle boarding. Monday morning, I was ready to knock him out when I found out that it made it online. That's the thing. You've also got to be aware of you. You've got to tell your social media snap happy pals. Yeah, and also some of your friends

don't want to be on social media because they've called in sick to work. Yeah. You've got to be careful. Or have a sketchy backstory and witness protection. Did we get that text, Kaylin, the ham? Where are they in hiding? Yeah, no, apparently she went to the local butcher to get some ham for Christmas, put a photo up of it.

She'd cut it open and apparently it hadn't been cut properly. Something was wrong with the local butcher and how he cut it. Neighbours knew the local butcher and said that's not on. Don't put it on social media. Don't been cut properly. Something was wrong with the local butcher and how he cut it. Neighbours knew the local butcher and said, that's not on, don't put it on social media, don't out my mate and don't talk to each other. It was a butchery incident. It was a local issue, yeah, yeah. So this hasn't been cut properly, bloody local butcher.

Hey, I know that butcher, take that down. He doesn't need you slammed up. But he obviously hadn't cut it right though. Well, I couldn't understand it. There was something in the middle of the he obviously hadn't cut it right, though. Well, yeah, I couldn't understand it. There was something in the middle of

the ham that didn't look right. A bone. Could have been a bone. Okay, right. I don't know. There was something

there that wasn't right. He didn't do the butchering right. Anyway. This doesn't mean a lot to us, but I'd imagine the

butchers listening are just like, it's a no-go. Yeah, I'd say so. But then other butchers would be saying, no, he deserves to be out and he's given the trade a bad name.. Yeah, yeah. I'd say so. But then other butchers would be saying, no, he deserves to be out

and he's given the trade a bad name. Yeah. All right. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Today's fact of the day is that there is a train in Japan that snorts like a deer then barks like a dog. Snorts like a deer?

To warn them on the rails? Bingo. Yes! Snorts like a deer and barks like a dog. Deer, wild deer in Japan lick the railway lines. Are they salty? That's what I thought. The salt would defrost the ice.

It's not. They get iron from it. So when a train runs over a train track, the iron in the rails slowly, slowly, slowly gets filed away. Any roughness of it just gets worn down. Now that comes off as a powder but stays on around the rails. Right. And the deer need iron in their diet so they lick it because it's digestible

because it's so dust-like. Oh, because they're vegan. Yeah, yeah. Vegetarian. Yeah, they are. They are. They are. Deers are vegetarian.

So, yeah, they need... They've got to make sure they get enough iron. They've got to make up for their iron. And they've found the easiest way to do it is just to lick the railway tracks. It's like a vitamin powder for them. Yeah. Okay.

It's like a multivite. But we talk... Because, you know, Japan have the high-speed trains. Yes. I imagine It's like a multivite. But we talk, because you know Japan have the high speed trains. Yes. I would imagine that would be too little a warning. No, so it snorts

like a deer for three seconds. Yeah. And then 20 seconds of loud dog barking Right. is enough to make them get the hell out the way.

But if a high speed train is going at like 250 kilometres an hour Right. And you're licking salt off the railway tracks Yeah. A snort is literally

going to be like right before the hatch. It starts miles away it's very, very loud. Oh, okay. It starts a little way away. There's trouble areas where they're going through

and it just kind of constantly goes on. See, they're not going to just bark right before the train hits. And you've got to remember deers are prey so they've developed highly sensitive ears. Right on right. See, they're not going to just bark right before the train hits. And you've got to remember, deers are prey. So they've developed highly sensitive ears.

Right. Okay. Which kind of makes me think, why didn't they get out of the way when the train was coming? For you to hear it coming. But anyway, the deer snort gets their attention. They're like, that's another deer. Right.

Is this going to be a territory thing? Yeah. Or maybe I can... Maybe it's another deer to kiss, even. Yeah. And they look around, maybe it's another dare to kiss, even. Yeah, and they look around and they're like, ooh,

a kiss, and then they get, get out of here. They get out of the way. Right. So they don't get hit. Why don't they just start straight with the dog bark?

Like, could you imagine living next to the train tracks? Like, it's bad enough if you hear the rumble from a distance and then a rumble

past your house. Yeah. Add that, like, some snorting and some dog barks. Yeah. Well, this is in very rural.

Oh, right. Very rural Japan. They've made deer crossings, which when the train's coming have ultrasonic waves that only deers can hear that the deers won't come near. So it's like a ding-dong, ding-dong, ding-dong, ding-dong. Arm goes down for us. We see the lights and the barrier,

but these guys have got that sound thing saying that's not to go near there. Because when I was in Aussie, they have wildlife crossings and they're big bridges over the highways. Yeah. And I'm like, you can't tell me that some koalas are just like, oh, I'm going to take the crossing because they can't read. So how do they know? They're more likely to go across where there's no threat.

Yeah, but when they look at the road, there might be no threat. It seems to me like it's an expensive bridge to shut people up. They're like, we're going to build a motorway through here. Oh, but don't worry, we've made them a cute little crossing. It's got trees and stuff on it.

They don't know. They're not like, the koala's not like, well, I'm going to cross the road. Oh, wait, there's a bridge up there. They don't think like that. Then the fences to stop them getting on the road, teamed up with that might funnel a few over there.

I'm just so sceptical, Vaughn. Of how much they're spending to how many koalas they're going to sell. If they put a fake dead koala on the road, would they look at that and be like, oh, I'm not going there because Barry's squished. I don't know how koalas do that because possums are notoriously stupid at seeing a dead possum

and being like, what happened to that? Yeah, right. It happens to them as well. Right. But Japan's transport ministry said there were 613 cases of train-stri striking deer in 2016, and each one was 30 minutes of delay. And you know how the Japanese, they love everything to be on time,

and they're very efficient. They've apologised for their trains leaving early by a minute. Yeah. Sorry about that. We're going to be carried away. You know, we love things, but not now. Yeah. Love getting to work early.

Doing a full day's work. So they just said this is, even the cost of it will be very small in comparison to the amount of productivity saved. So today's fact of the day is in Japan, trains bark like a dog, snort like a deer, and then bark like a dog.

Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. The podcast. Georgia Fowler, interview with the host of New Zealand's Project Runway. Which is on tonight. It's coming up. Megan's chat with her. You've been like, New Zealand's next something. No, see I just swiftly

jumped to his assistance. To be fair, I paused because I was in the middle of peeling my mandarin. Can you not eat your mandarin during the show, please? No, I peel it while we talk.

And then you put it in a circle. I put the segments down on my piece of paper and then when we finish the voice break. No, sometimes it's not even finished just halfway through. So you're having one now.

We're not finished. I can do it. Like, that was just one segment. That's why he has to put them into segments. He wolfs them so quickly. Yeah. So he puts them in a circle and then he picks one out of the circle. There'll be no enjoyment.

That's one. Enjoy them. Filled up the car yesterday, the family car, which, by the way, has been hit by a bus or something. What do you mean? Parked it on the side of the road and came out and there's this massive scrape down the side. I laugh because

what else are you going to do? So this is like, this is literally like when we're in the last year, this will have been the fifth or sixth insurance claim for vehicles in my house.

And you've had nothing to do with any of them? No. Was it your crappy car? One. One I backed into that guy. No, it was the family car. It of them? No. Was it your crappy car? One. One I backed into that guy. No, it was the family car. It was the nice car. The one I don't

drive day to day because I don't care about cars. I don't look after them. Not the one you backed into a bollard with. No, I just don't look... In that car I just don't look what I back. You mentioned filling up fuel. Petrol prices are going up 3.5 cents. There's a new excise tax which is coming.

So around the country. What does excise mean? Countrywide. It's just another name for a tax, isn't it? It's exercise. It means it's taxing you for not doing exercise by walking to work. So it's part of the government. I've just Googled.

Part of the government's plan to raise the excise duty on petrol by 10.5 cents over the next two years. So like in 2020, petrol's going to be like $5 a litre. I'm down with those electric cars. They all look a bit dumb at the moment. But again, I don't care what my cars look like. Well, you should start driving a dumb car and save some money. Oh, 100%.

I'll be down for life. What is it, a Nissan Leaf? I don't care if it's called a Leaf or a Jolt or a Volt or a Bolt or whatever it's called. Nissan Leafs. I don't care. I think you and the fam would look great in a Prius.

Oh, yeah, well. And you can put one of those No, but do you know they're spinnies? It's like, it's all good to laugh at an electric vehicle but they're expensive. Oh, yeah, they're expensive.

Right, so how much did it cost you to fill up the car? $150. That's a new record. That's a new record. Do you guys want to take this opportunity to mock me for not having a car

and riding my bicycle everywhere? No, but would you like to walk to the airport on Thursday? That's my counter argument. Okay, fair call. That's my counter argument to you. You raise a good point, Vaughn. Yeah, or try to get a taxi chitter to the company to take a taxi because I know how you love the taxi drivers.

I'll make sure we order you the most talkative one too. True. But yeah, $150, I was watching it. Yeah. Watching it and I was like, how much are you going to get to? I was like, early days, you're very expensive. And then, yeah, I was watching it. Yeah. Watching it and I was like, how much are you going to get to? I was like, early days, you're very expensive. And then, yeah, it was like click full. And I'm always one of those people that's got to give it the old manual click, click, click, click till I see gas.

Do you lift up the pipe? And give it a shake? Yeah. No, they put these new ones in that come out at like waist level. Yeah, you know why? Because they come straight out because of the jiggling. The tight ass jigglers were jiggling all the

pumps off. Yeah. So, no, I didn't give it a jiggle but I gave it a little bit of squirt until it just fills right up and you can see

it's just tippy toppy and then put it on and yeah, it was $150. I was like. See, you laugh at my little Mazda MX-5 but that's like, we'll be knocking on 80 bucks to fill that, baby.

It's still not 100. I know it's a bad, I know petrol's bad if that ever gets in. You know, it breaks down every two months, though, doesn't it? No, it doesn't. Just the window doesn't work. But it still goes. And when a car crosses the centre line and hits you, it's just going to be lights out.

I'll be dead, but it'll be fast. Yeah, it'll be a fast one. It'll be quick death. There'll be no questions. Yeah. It'll probably even make the other car do a cool jump. Because it's like a little ramp. But our car's not the biggest car out there.

Oh, yeah. If you've got a big... A guzzler. A big guzzler, I'd imagine they'd be knocking on 200 to fill now. Because where will you save those? Will they dodge rams? Those things were $180 to fill back in the day.

The station cars. Yeah, those things would cost a fortune. If you've got a big ute or something. Yeah. Haha, Mike Hosking. That's the second time we've mentioned him today, but now has seven fancy cars. No, but they're all like brand new and super fuel efficient.

And he also gets like paid heaps to fill them up. Oh, yeah, true. And he's a contractor, so it's all tax deductible. Okay. So when he takes off out of the garage, like... Yeah, a million miles an hour. Oh, yeah, true. And he's a contractor, so it's all tax deductible. Oh, okay. So when he takes off out of the garage, like, whoom, whoom, like that down the road, and we're like this, just nice and easy, peep it under 2,000, peep it under 2,000.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, car coming, brake. Not too heavy on the brake. Back on, nice and smooth. A smooth drive is an efficient drive. Well, it's on tonight, a TVNZ 2730 Project Runway New Zealand. And a couple of weeks ago, Megan, you caught up with Georgia Fowler, the host of Project Runway New Zealand, in a small echoey room. We are joined on the show by Georgia Fowler, host of Project Runway New Zealand.

Yes. How often do you get to come home to New Zealand? Oh, not enough. So when this opportunity came about, I was just like, of course I want to do it. To be back for six weeks has just been amazing. Because, yeah, I get home for Christmas. I would never miss a Christmas away from family. But apart from that, it's just too busy throughout the year.

Because you've been modelling for 10 years. Yeah. Or travelling for a year, almost. Wow. What's it like being away from family? Oh, it's definitely hard. I'm also so close to my family, but I'm just so lucky that we have FaceTime now. Yeah, you get used to it, get used to life on the road. Mum used to travel with me when I was younger too,

so when I was first starting out when I was only 15, 16, 17, Mum would be coming around with me, So that made it a little bit easier. But yeah, I just, I love coming back and seeing family and just really grounding. What is, so overseas a lot, you've still got a pretty Kiwi accent. I mean, I can still tell. So when you're overseas,

what is the one thing that people ask you about New Zealand? Oh, like if there are just sheep roaming around everywhere? Or they just like keep saying it's Australia and you're like, it's definitely another country. What is the one thing that you tell them? Like what's your favourite thing to say about New Zealand? Um, I ask them if they've seen the haka. Yes.

And they're generally pretty impressed. Um, so 10 years ago you started. How did you get from New Zealand to being a massive international model? Well, I was scouted by international agencies because I had an agency here in New Zealand. They signed me up and said basically, next school holidays, come over to Paris.

And then- Casually. I did it. And then after school I just went and did it again and then I just up and left. I guess, you know, looking back, it was incredibly brave. But at the time, I was just like, of course, amazing opportunity. Go on.

And Victoria's secret. Mm-hm. When, right before you went to walk out on stage... Mm-hm. ..or on the runway, were you scared? What goes through your head at that moment? Yeah, so many butterflies in your stomach. But by that time, you were just already on cloud nine.

Like, it was such a thrill. I had so many friends doing it with me. I was about to get on stage with incredible performers. So it was all, you know, happy vibes before going out. And I was actually really surprised the minute I turned the corner I expected to be really nervous and kind of shaky even on the runway but I was just like got this I'm here this is the dream yeah and I had so much fun I even did like these

weird awkward dances and I... You're in the moment. I was just so in the moment. My sister afterwards was like, that was the first time I think you ever had rhythm. Well, that's good because that was seen by a lot of people. Yeah. What advice would you give to, I mean, aspiring models or even aspiring designers that are in New Zealand? Because obviously we feel pretty hard done by being like down here. What advice would you give them?

Well, you know, yes, we are down here, but, you know, just hop on a plane and you're not. Yeah. Don't be scared of, you know, travelling. Don't ever give up. It's definitely harder being in a smaller market, but it's also a great, you know, learning platform. And, you know, if you can nail it here,

I think there are some incredible New Zealand designers that would do really well on an international scale if they just be confident and take a risk. And is there more TV in your future? Who knows? It's definitely been an amazing learning curve and something that probably later in my career I'll really get into. But yeah, for now, I'm going to do a bit of both, see what happens.

Awesome. Well, it's nice to have you home. We're so proud of all that you've achieved. Thank you. All the best for Project One Way, One Way New Zealand. One Way.
