The ZM Podcast Network. ZM 3 and Clint. Hi everybody. Sorry, I think we just had a power surge in the studio. No, I actually think it was from all of the hype around Taylor Swift. I reckon that's what it is. And because of how many Taylor Swift tickets we have, the station is now overpowered. Well, we just had a surge go through here of some sort.

Can you imagine what the phone lines are going to be like on Monday when this Taylor Swift competition really kicks off? I don't think we're really prepared. Have we sent a heads up to Spark? Have we said, hey guys, just so you know, there'll be a bit of action on the lines. We're going to need a few extra phone lines,

I think, here at ZM. If you missed it, Fletch Vaughan and Hayley announced this morning that Taylor Swift, the Eris Tour, ZM has tickets. And when I say tickets, we have tickets on tickets on tickets starting next week we'll be giving away

a double pass every single day you're missing one thing too what? not just tickets we have A Reserve tickets yeah a bunch

of A Reserve like a heap of them a lot of stuff in this business is build ups this one is not it's not build ups

and when we say we've got a lot of them we've got the most tickets that any it's a double pass every day station is giving away it's not build-ups. And when we say we've got a lot of them, we've got the most tickets that any... It's a double pass every day. Station is giving away. It's a double pass every day. It's huge.

So if you're keen on that, all the details are at ZM online. Grab a seat's going to give you the chance to win the flights to go with those tickets too, but it all kicks off on Monday. You just need to be listening at 8, 12 and 4 from Monday to ZM. It's going to be massive.

Thank you so much. Amazing work. I'm going to be right now. That's the latest Billie Eilish. It's from the Barbie soundtrack. It's called What Was I Made For? Funny you mention Barbie. Barbie.

I want to talk about the Barbie movie for a second because the website babynames.com, which is a super popular baby name website where people go to have a look at different names, how popular they are. Get some inspo. Get some inspo. But the website has reported that in the month of July,

they saw a 300% increase in searches for the name Barbie. Really? 300% increase. People want to name their kid Barbie. Well, I don't know if they would have went ahead and, but they wanted to see how many people are naming their child Barbie. Yeah. They're looking for it. Barbie or Barbara? Barbie. Barbie, the name Barbie. On top of that, there was a 200% increase in searches for the name Ken.

Oh, okay. So people also looking for the name Ken. Ken seems a bit more versatile. Kenneth. Kennedy. Kendra. Kent. Kent.

Kent. No, you just go Kent for Kent. Ken, by that I mean, I feel like you could tell me your name is Ken without me necessarily thinking of the doll. Really? Yeah. Maybe not at the moment. No, not at the moment. But before this movie.

But this movie will die down. But Barbie. Straight away, the doll. Barbie the doll owns the name Barbie. Yeah. In my mind. 100%. Yeah. Yeah, I agree.

There was no increase in searches for the name Alan, unfortunately. Alan? Yeah, if you've seen the movie. Oh, okay. There's Ken's and Barbie's and then there's one Alan. Has there been an increase in the search of the name Barrette's? No, because no one's ever heard of that. Barats dolls.

Apparently the name Barbie peaked in popularity in like 1964, which was like a few years after the Barbie doll was actually released. And I reckon it was a name back then. It was. Outside of the doll. Apparently it was estimated that between 70 to 100 babies per million were named Barbie. So that's quite a lot.

In the early, mid to 1960s. Yeah. Wild, eh? I thought we could go on our own hunt this afternoon. Our own psychic hunt. Breeze Psychic Radio. Because I reckon my psychic abilities have told me

that there is someone listening right now with the name Barbie or with the name Ken. Way to spread your odds. Way to play the field, Thomas L. I've learnt recently in the psychic game it's better to broaden.

What are the chances that there's someone listening to this show right now called Barbie or Ken? Or Ken. Or Kennedy. Should we put in a few more details? Yes, I feel like you need to be a little bit more specific. That's the way psychic radio works. Generally, you give about five criteria that somebody has to meet. Do I have to give that many?

Okay. First one. Age. 30. How old's Barbie? Oh, she's like... Yeah, that's a good question. I reckon she's like 27.

Is she? She owns a Malibu dream house and a sports car. Well, technically she was born in like 1950-something, so... But she'll be like Bart Simpson. She'll be forever 64. Barbie doll was meant to be 19 years old. 19? That's what it says, yeah.

Now we're going with 30. 30, okay. 30. That's how old you want Barbie to be. Barbies can be 30. You want Barbie to be in your age bracket. Yeah, we could be 30. They're going to be blonde.

Yep. And they're going to drive... A convertible. Oh, no. A Hyundai. No, that's not a Barbie car. Yes, it is. No, they're going to drive a car with two doors.

Okay, fine. There's no cars with two doors anymore. Stop trying to make it easy on yourself by picking one of the highest selling vehicles in the country. I want Breeze Psychic Radio to be a success. I know, I know, but they need to be a Barbie. Okay. So, two doors.

Two doors gives you a range of SUVs, it gives you hatchbacks, it gives you convertibles. You're really swinging for the feds. Alright, here's how it works. If you have the name Barbie, and by Barbie we will take Barbara, won't we? Yeah, that's about the only variation we'll take. Barbie, Barbara, Barb, or Ken. So if you either have the name Barbie or Ken, you're 30 years old, you're blonde, and you drive a car with two doors. And how tall are they?

No, I'm not picking how tall they are. Let's see how close we can get. Yeah. Okay, call if you fit a number of those categories. We'll see how close we can get to New Zealand's own version of Barbie or Ken. Even if you just have the name Barbie or Ken to give us something to start off with. Phones aren't ringing off the hooks yet. No, Barbie or Ken, please call now.

Bree and Clint. Right, let's find ourselves a Barbie or a Ken. Right now. You reckon we can do it? No. Bree's Psychic Radio. But we're going to give it a go. We've put out a bunch of different identifiers about a person.

And because of the Barbie movie, apparently everyone is searching up the name Barbie or the name Ken. I've never seen you so doubtful of your own psychic abilities before. It's almost like you and me have switched places. I think Mercury is in retrograde and that obviously is when my powers are at the lowest. And if you know, you know. Your Mercury is in retrograde. It's also powers are at the lowest. And if you know, you know. Your Mercury's in retrograde. It's also that time of the month, so I'm not, you know.

Oh, your Mercury really is in retrograde. Yeah, it's really in retrograde. There's a blood moan. Give the criteria. What are we looking for? This is the criteria. Their name is either Barbie or Ken, and by that we'll take Barbara, Ken, Kenneth, Kennedy, any of those.

Kevin, Andrew, David. Sandra. Sarah. Barbie or Ken, they, Kennedy, any of those. Kevin, Andrew, David. Sandra. Sarah. Barbie or Ken, they're 30, they're blonde, and they drive a car with two doors. That's our Barbie or Ken. That's Barbie or Ken. That's our Barbie or Ken.

Let's kick it off with caller one. Caller one, what is your name? My name's Kindle. That's a Ken. I didn't know we were going to get a lady, Ken. Okay. My nickname is actually Kindle. Kindle.

Even better, Kindle. We've started strong. Okay, what criteria are you going to go to next? I'm going to go... You've got one from four. Okay, I'm going to go with... What colour is your hair, Kindle? I'm blonde.

It's good. It's good so far. Kindle? to go with... What colour's your hair, Kendall? I'm blonde. It's good. It's good so far. Kendall, how old are you? 33. It's got a three in it. Do you drive a car with two doors? I don't. Not bad though,

Kendall. We appreciate you calling. Wait, you don't drive a Hyundai, do you? No. Is she dead? That would have really shitted me. It would have really annoyed me. Thanks for calling, Kendall. Thanks, Kendall.

We appreciate it. Let's go to Psychic Radio caller number two. Hello, caller number two. Hello, caller. Hi. So my name is Jamie, but my nickname for the past nine years has been Barbie. Does that count? Do people call you Barbie?

Yes, my whole friend group does. It started with my friend's son when he was about almost two. I'll allow it. It's got to count. I'll allow it. It's got to count. All right, Barbie, what is your age? I turned 30 in June.

I mean, perfect. Barbie, who's 30? Okay, Barbie, please tell me you have blonde hair. I do. Well, that'll be why they call her Barbie, surely. Is that why? It was what started it, yes. It all comes down to the car. Now, surely a lady with blonde hair who gets called Barbie, who's 30 years old, surely, she did say she has kids, which is an issue. Yeah, no one with kids has got a two-door car.

She might have a weekend car. If she drives a Hyundai, I'm coming after you. That's not the question you get to ask first. Barbie, how many doors does your car have? Four. What make of car is that that you drive? A Toyota. You are lucky.

You are lucky. Well, you, Barbie, the 30-year-old blondie, are as close as we're going to get. She's pretty close. You're our Barbie today, so thank you very much. Oh, thanks. Thanks for calling through, Barbie. You've won a two-door sports car.

The small version. Yeah, the Barbie version. The Barbie version. There you go. They exist. Do they? I don't know. Did we settle anything?

I don't know. No, I don't think we did. Everyone is travelling somewhere, whether it be around the country to Europe. The amount of friends of mine that are in Europe at the moment is just outrageous. It's disgusting. It's just wild.

And they've done a new study where they've went to a bunch of different airports and they've asked people a bunch of different questions to see what type of airport person you are. Oh. So they reckon there's, I think it's five different types of airport personas. Got it. And you fit into one of these different airport personas. Okay.

So I thought we could go through and everyone listening. You and I have travelled a bit together. Yeah, I feel like. I wonder if we could pick each other's. Yeah. And everyone listening, you'll be able to pick out which one you are. So apparently the most common airport persona is called the airport ace.

So this is the traveller who is ready and ready for everything, arrives 10 hours early, packs 25 toothbrushes, checks in the second they're able to, that type of airport person. That is not me. That is my wife. Gotcha. So that's her. Yeah.

She's the airport ace. She's the airport ace. That is not me. That is my wife. Gotcha. So that's her. Yeah. She's the airport ace. She's the airport ace. That's not me either. Definitely not. The next one is the airport athlete. Apparently, they're a super competitive traveller who has to get their bag out of the overhead compartment first. They're first off the plane when it lands.

They're first to the carousel. They're first at the boarding gate. And they're the to the carousel They're first to the boarding gate And they're the first one to get on everyone's nerves Yeah, I know that person We get it, the plane's landed Sit down Just sit down and wait your turn It's a difference of 45 seconds

It really is So that's called the airport athlete The next one is the airport adventurer So they're predisposed to spending too much time exploring the airport. I imagine you're a dad to be this person. That's my dad, yeah. Yeah. They buy whatever nonsense is on special at duty free. They're a bit of a lone wolf, breaking from the pack to go on a solo expedition. They're also a bit of a liability. Yeah, a little bit. Yeah. They're called the airport adventurer.

I feel like a lot of dads would fit that category. Yeah. The next one is the airport autopilot. They go with the flow. Nothing really bothers them. The plane won't, they kind of have the, oh, the plane won't leave me. I think that's me.

That's you. There's one more. Okay. The last one, apparently this is the rarest out of all the airport personas. It's called the airport ambler. These people don't care about anything. They're last to check in, last on the play, no idea where their passport is or even where they're going.

I'm not that one. I think you're the airport autopilot. I'm the autopilot? Yeah. What are you? I think I'm the autopilotilot. I'm the autopilot? Yeah. What are you? I think I'm the autopilot too. What is it? So what's Ella?

What's the one where they leave their passport on the other side of customs? I think that's the airport. I almost no idea what's going on. I think that's the airport amateur. Yeah, that's me. That's a new persona. That literally happened. I once lost my little passport. No, we's me. That's a new persona. That literally happened. I once lost my little passport.

No, we know. We were there. Yeah. We were travelling with you. The first time we travelled with you, I felt like I was taking my child somewhere for a holiday. I know what she is. She's the airport unaccompanied minor.

That's who she is. Hey, you get the free meal on the plane. You get the colouring in book. Bree and Clint. ZM's Bree and Clint. Hi, everybody. The phone lines are going bananas here at ZM. Can I just be really clear about this?

The Taylor Swift competition doesn't start until Monday. Yes. So, everyone relax. You have to listen out on Monday and call us at 4pm on Monday. Not right now. We're starting it on Monday. See, watch this. Hello, ZM.

What are you calling about? Tell us a second. Yeah, Monday. Starts on Monday. Sorry. Touch early. Monday is when you have to call. No way.

Yeah. Hey, but good news is that it goes for four weeks and we've got so many double passes. So just everyone relax. See, watch this. Hello, Zedian, what are you calling about? Hi, this is Alison. I think it's still on. Yep.

Oh, here we go. Hey, what's your name? Liane. Liane. L-E-A-N-E. Liane. Just relax for a second. Just relax for a second.

We're starting the competition on Monday, okay? Okay. And this is the time when you have to call back, but on Monday. On Monday. And it goes for four weeks, so you've got heaps of chances. So just take a deep breath. And we'll hopefully talk to you next week, okay you've got heaps of chances. So just take a deep breath. And we'll hopefully talk to you next week,

okay? Okay, thanks, Leona. Are you able to explain that to every single person that is calling through? There's a lot. They won't stop calling. They will not stop calling. But that's the power of Taylor Swift tickets. Monday, guys. Monday, ZM is giving away a double pass a day

to Taylor Swift. All you've got to do is listen at 8, hear the Taylor Swift song. 12, hear the Taylor Swift song. And call us at 4 and tell us what the last Taylor Swift song is. And if you're the person that gets through, you will instantly win a double pass to the Eras Tour. An A-reserve double pass. In Sydney. And we're doing that, like, so just, like, relax

because we're doing it multiple, multiple days. I just want to make sure people know that it's not just like one day or two days or a week or two weeks. Like it's multiple weeks of that. So you've got plenty of chances. Bree and Clint. A poll of 2,000 people in Great Britain has revealed that 43% of people use their phones when on the toilet. 43% of Brits. So less than half.

That's an interesting way of looking at it. I don't think so. I reckon it's more. British people like to read books and stuff though, don't they? You reckon people are reading books on the toilet? They're taking a little monocle into the toilet and flopping out a copy of Wuthering Heights. When was the last time you went to Britain? Yeah, once. Once, yeah. A lot of books. monocle into the toilet and flopping out a copy of Wuthering Heights.

When was the last time you went to Britain? Yeah, once. Once, yeah. A lot of books. Was it in the 1920s? Yeah, correct, it was. I was reading. Yeah, don't worry.

According to this poll as well, what do you think is the age group that are most likely to be guilty of using their phone on the loo? Millennials. 35 to 44. Yeah, millennials. Are the most common. And then everyone else, I feel like. Don't know many Gen Zs who are going to the toilet without their phone.

I feel like Gen Z would be very common as well. They're filming their TikToks on the toilet, aren't they? A lot of them, you prop it up against the toilet door and then you're just like... Yeah, 100%. It's got acoustics in there. The survey, this was quite interesting to me as well, also revealed that one in 10 people in the UK

risk their mobile phones in the shower. Oh. Who's taking the phone in the shower? I mean, a beer in the shower. Yes, absolutely. Yeah. Well, there's dodgy reasons why you would take the phone in the shower? I mean, a beer in the shower. Yes, absolutely. Yeah. Well, there's dodgy reasons why you would take a phone into the shower. Oh.

But we had to stage an intervention with Guy Williams one time because he was a chronic phone shower user. Oh, and that would have been back in the day where there was no waterproof. Before they were waterproof. Waterproof, yeah. And you know what his reasoning was? What? Oh, here we go.

He liked to listen to podcasts in the shower. Oh, is that what he called it? Yeah, that's what he used to say. Yeah, right. I like to listen to a podcast when I'm in there. What podcast was he listening to? Yeah, who knows? Claudia? I watched a movie in the shower the other day.

What? How long was your shower? Oh, no, I watched part of a movie. What movie did you watch? Oh, you wouldn't have heard of it. Don't worry. What am I not cultured enough? Was it Fifty Shades? Nah, but it was on Netflix

and it was like, I'd watched half an hour and I was like, this is really good but I need to have a shower so I just brought it with me. Oh, I thought you were saying you had a half an hour shower. I was like, Claudia, that's a bit excessive. How did you keep the screen dry? Oh, it got a little bit wet but it's waterproof.

I know it's waterproof but it can make the picture... Where did you prop it up? I put it on the where you put your shampoos in the little holder in the corner and just propped it up on there. What if someone had video called you while you were in there? I wouldn't have answered. They would have got a rude awakening. Claudia's shaving her legs.

Okay, alright. Do we snap hole everybody here? You phone in the shower so I would assume you have no problems phoning on the toilet? Nah, everybody here? Yeah. You phone in the shower, so I would assume you have no problems phoning on the toilet? Nah, no problem. You're a phone on the toilet? Yep. Actually, would you ever go to the phone without your toilet?

I mean, go to the... No, I take my toilet everywhere. Let's hope you're not doing ones or twos on your phone. I've got the new smart toilet. It's got 5G. Don't worry, forget my other question. Ella, phone in the toilet? Sometimes I'm trying not to.

You're trying not to? You're trying to break that habit? Yeah. Bringing my toilet in my phone? Yeah. What a great goal. What a great goal. I definitely take my phone to the toilet.

1% better every day. And you do as well. 100% I take it. Yeah. I feel weird if I don't have my phone in there. Do you? Because obviously... My special time. Different for men and ladies. I don't want to know about your special time to be honest.

It's like a little break. Anyone with kids will understand. Your special time? You escape to the toilet, you have a little bit of special time. It's just you. I escape to the toilet now and I don't have kids. Just for a little rest. It's a good time. What was I going to ask now?

I've lost my train of thought. I just keep thinking about it. You said men and women are different in the toilet. Yeah, men and women are different in the toilet because you guys don't always sit down. Can I ask you when you don't have to sit down or you're not sitting down, do you look at your phone? No.

So you're not going one-handed? Because that's quite impressive, one-handed. I'm not that addicted to my phone that I need it for 30 seconds. Didn't you say to me one time before that you saw someone once in a public restroom? Not once. I see someone who works here at ZM. Constantly.

Every time. At the urinal and on the phone at the same time. The person who will remain nameless has perfected their technique that they take their thing out of their pants and then that goes hands-free so they can have two hands on the phone. Right, I would have thought the phone was hands-free. No. Like in a car and not the other.

It's a urinal where there is nowhere to rest the phone. So the phone gets two hands in landscape mode. Wait a second. Do you need to hold the snake with two hands? No, one. But they put no hands on it. Why do they not just put one hand? One hand on the wheel

at all times. Correct. That's the recommended approach. One hand on the wheelie at all times. Correct. Yeah. Anyway, we will not name and shame that person. We're 100% phone toilet use in this room. Yeah. So let's find out on our 800 dials at M. Let's do a poll.

Let's do a poll. Not do you take your phone in there. Let's ask, do you not take your phone into the toilet? Can you honestly say this afternoon on the radio, you never take your phone to the toilet and watch it? In fact, you find it gross. Yeah. You don't take your phone out when you're on it. In fact, you find it gross. Yeah. You don't take your phone out when you're on the toilet.

Yeah, you don't. You don't feel the need to. You don't want to. You think people that take their phone to the toilet are strange. Yeah. 0800 dial ZMO. You can text us on 9696. Yeah.

We'll get some results of that. If there is anyone that can answer that. Bree and Clint. A poll has been done in Great Britain asking, do you take your phone to the toilet? And it revealed 43% of people do. I think that's low. Feels low.

Feels quite low. We're 100% on the Bree and Clint show, once you include our two producers as well. 100% pro-toilet phone use. I think it's quite a sad world we live in because we are so dependent on our phone that we have to take it to the toilet. Yeah. But people used to keep magazines in there.

That's true. And books. Yeah, see, but that's for people that like to, you know, take their time. Take their time. We asked you to call and just tell us if you are strongly anti-phone use in the toilet. Yeah. Someone's texted and they said, I never take my phone to the toilet. I would not even consider it. I have no desire to hang out in there any longer than necessary, in and out. Interesting. Pump and dump.

I love this text. Someone said, my husband doesn't only take his phone to the toilet, he takes his morning coffee with him too. Oh no, too far. That's, no. Not on. No, that's too far.

Not on. You can't be having a meal in there. Imagine. You're only one step short of having a meal. You walk in on someone, they're having a sandwich in there. Babe, I reckon we need an espresso machine in the bathroom. You're like, I don't think we do. Someone said, my mum used to take the landline cordless phone to the toilet.

So this is a judgment-free zone. No, yep. I'd be even more impressed if they took the cord, the actual cord phone in there too. Oh yeah. Run the cable in there. You see the cord. Yeah, no, they're running. I'm not having a phone call on it. They're definitely running a cable in there.

That's for sure. Oh, yuck. I. They're laying it. I know we all said that we are taking our phones to the toilet. I'm not having a conversation in the toilet. You're not? No, no, no way.

Are you answering your phone in there? I, you know, what's interesting is I have certain people I would talk to when I'm on the toilet. Your mum? Yeah, I'd talk to my mum on the toilet, but the thing is that we're sometimes just doing number ones. Like for you, it'd just be number twos.

Yeah, correct. Or sometimes number ones. Do me a favour. Never answer my phone call on the toilet. I have before. You've stood me up. Fiona's here. Hi, Fiona. Hi, Fee. Hello.

How are you? You're strongly anti-toilet phone use. Oh, so, yeah. No, my husband can go in there and be half an hour. Half an hour? That's a fair while. I know. And my daughter, who's 21, she'll ring me on the toilet.

And I'm like, you're in the loo, aren't you? And she's like, yeah, yeah, fine, yeah. Wait, is she in the loo in your house or in her house? No, no, no, she's in Welly. Oh, she's in Welly. I thought you meant you were in the kitchen and she's in the toilet. Oh, no, no, no. She just rings me when she's got downtime.

Sounds like you're the only one in your family that isn't keen for phones in the toilet. Yep, I think so. That's fair enough, Fi. I get it. Thanks, Fiona. Let's talk to Mania. Kia ora, Mania. Hi, Mania.

Kia ora. Hello. Tell us, Mania, do you never take your phone to the toilet? Never. No. You think it's gross. Yeah. Why is it?

Are you washing your phone when you're finished? How do you wash your hands? Yeah, definitely not. Yeah, no. It's pretty yucky. When you put it that way, when you put it that way. Money it, money it, money it, money it, money it. Some things are easier to not think about, so

if you could please not put that idea in our heads, you know? No, now you've put it in my head. Now I never want to touch Bree's phone. I barely want to touch my own phone now. Every time I touch someone else's phone. Do you think about it? I kind of do, yeah. Do you? Yeah.

I think I can kind of, I don't know what it is. Some people's phones feel gross to me than others. It's because the person in your mind is gross. Is that what it is? No. Okay, thanks Mania. We appreciate the call. Thanks Mania. Let's go to Kelsey. Hi Kelsey. Oh, Casey.

Hi. Casey, you never take your phone We appreciate the call. Thanks, Mania. Let's go to Kelsey. Hi, Kelsey. Oh, Casey. Hi. Casey, you never take your phone to the toilet. No way. It's so gross. I don't know what you've got to do in there that takes so long that you've got to watch your phone in the toilet. Just get in, you get out, and it's done. Yeah, I see what you're saying.

I see what you're saying. What about just for like a little break, a little rest? No, no, no, no. I go to my room for a break. What do you do in the toilet then? How do you keep yourself occupied? Well, you just go and you get out. You get out fast, it's done.

Then you can go and watch your phone in your bedroom or something. Yeah. My child goes in there, my son goes in there, and he takes like over half an hour. And I'm like, what are you doing? Yeah, well, he could be doing anything, Casey. He could be doing his taxes. Yeah, exactly.

It's so weird. It's gross. Okay, thank you, Casey. Point taken. We get it. Someone has said to us, this is what I was talking about before. I take it in there.

I do it as a little break from dad duties. Yeah. I get it. I so get it. What about this one? My grandparents used to have a cord phone on the wall in their bathroom. And when I was young, I called 111 because, you know, curiosity killed the cat.

And guess who knocked on the door sometime later? The yambos. I wonder who paid that bill. Obviously not me. I was five years old. You called an ambulance while you were sitting on the toilet. Oh, that's so interesting. They had a phone next to

the toilet. A lot of older hotels have got that. Like, nice hotels. Why? So businessmen could keep doing business while they were doing their business. Someone else has texted and they said, I purposefully called my family while I'm taking a dump. Okay, thank you.

Someone said, I remember reading the air freshener labels pre-phones. Lol. Just for something to do. Brian Clint. Once upon a time there was a girl. She was smart, debatable, talented,

eh, athletic. Not really, but picking a movie title based on just the plot line, that she can do. Brie and Clint's What's the Plot? Here we go, our movie guessing game, where today if you can take Brie down, you'll score $450 cash. Good prize.

It's a great prize, and Mary, you're the one that's going to be doing it. Hopefully. Hopefully. I've got the faith, Mary. But I'm not going to give it to you. If you could, that would be nice. Yeah, I was going to say. I think Mary wants you to give it to her.

Mary's like, you sure? You want to rethink it? You wanted Mary to be like, yeah, good. I want to win on my own merit. No, Mary's like, no, I want the money. Mary's like, I don't care about merit I just want the money Brie has won 8 games in a row

8 weeks in a row so your job is to stop her Mary how it works is I read out movie plot lines and you buzz in with your name as soon as you think you know what that movie is you don't wait for me to finish the plot you just go for it okay

cool if you get 2 right before Brie gets two right, you'll win the cash. It's as simple as that. Today, because ZDM announced they're giving away so many Taylor Swift Errors Tour tickets starting on Monday, these are all movies that are about winning competitions.

Okay. Okay. That's quite broad. It is broad. Yeah, very. Have it in the back of your mind. That's good broad. It is broad. Yeah, very. Have it in the back of your mind. That's good. I like that theme.

It's a broad theme. Here we go. Movie number one. Good luck to both of you. Good luck, Mary. In 2045, the planet is on the brink of chaos and collapse, but people find salvation in the oasis. Brie.

Brie. Ready Player One. Ready Player One is correct. I see that one as well. Did you know that one too? It's such a good film. One of my favourites. I haven't seen it.

Everybody says it's really good. Oh, it's amazing. I'm pretty sure it's on Netflix still. Yeah. Great film. Everyone said if you want to understand NFTs, you should watch Ready Player One. I'm pretty sure.

Yeah, totally. Yeah. I was really focused on what, yeah, I was trying to think of any movies with that year in it and it just didn't click. Yeah. Steven Spielberg film,

I'm pretty sure. Is it? I think so. Okay, all right. One point to Brie. You got this, Mary, okay? Come on, Mary. Oh, I think it's tough.

Movie number two. A college student knows she does not want to be part of a clique, but that's exactly where she finds herself after arriving at her new school. Thrust among mean gals, nice gals, and just plain weird gals, she finds that the only thing they have in common is how well they sing together. Brie! Pitch perfect.

No, no. Sorry, Mary. I celebrated too early, but I was pretty sure. It's pitch perfect. Yeah. Sorry, Mary. Not today, but we do have a $50 KFC chicken dollar voucher for you. Congratulations.

Cool. Thank you so much. Nice work, Mary. $500 next week. $500. Halfway to $1,000. Halfway to $1,000. God, it seems so far away. 500 next week 500 halfway to a thousand halfway to a thousand God it seems so far away

I can't how many times have I got to a thousand once I don't know a couple of times a couple of times are you sure I feel like I've only done it once

I think we got close to two thousand nah never in a million years no way I feel like at the end of 2021 we were playing for two grand nah I don't think we've ever played for that I think a thousand we'll make that your new goal No way. I feel like at the end of 2021, we were playing for two grand.

Nah, I don't think we've ever played for that. Really? I think a thousand. Well, make that your new goal. Two? No way. There's no way in the world. Bree and Clint.

British pop star Dua Lipa is in the news at the moment. Yeah. She's under fire, might be facing a lawsuit accusing her for copying a song for a massive hit, Levitating. Is she getting done by this? Here we go again. Is she a songwriter? Does she write her songs? I don't believe so.

She might be a co-writer or something. Maybe a co-writer, yeah. But she is potentially facing a lawsuit from a couple of people who are saying she copied our song from 1979, a disco song called Wiggle and Giggle All Night. Okay. It's not immediately obvious to me. I think it's that part where she kind of, you know, is speaking quite fast. It's that melody where it's quite... Zip-a-dip-a-dip-a-dip-a-dip-a-dip-a-dip-a-dip-a-dip-a-dip-a-dip.

All right. Yeah, okay. You see what I'm saying? I mean, it's a stretch. And let's be real. Do you reckon Dua Lipa had ever heard Wiggle and Giggle all night? But producer Claude has gone the extra mile as she does and she's overlaid both songs.

Great. That'll solve the court case. It will. We can save the courts a lot of time here. We're going to submit this evidence to the court. So let's take a listen of both songs overlaid. At best, it sounds like a bad DJ mashup, you know? My ADHD brain was loving that, by the way. Oh, you were listening to both songs?

Yeah, I could hear both. Really? Okay. I can see what they're saying. But come on, guys. Is this what the world of music is going to be like now? It's always interesting to me that these lawsuits never come out when Levitating from Dua Lipa is first released. It's funny that, eh?

It's always about 12 to 18 months later when the song has made as much money as it's going to make. Yep. And then, oh, wait, wait. We've just realised now. We've just realised. I mean, shout out to Wiggle and Giggle. What's the band called?

I believe the songwriters, Russell Brown and Sandy Linzer. I knew that. I was just checking that you knew. Yeah. Of course. I mean, catchy song. I mean, if you want to get it, Wiggle and Giggle all night. Get it on Spotify.

Hashtag free do it, Leepa. Bree and Clint. Oh, time for a birthday banger. Bree and Clint. All I want for my birthday is a birthday banger. Your birthday bangers, the number one songs on your 16th birthdays. And we'll play one of these songs out in full for you. We played NSYNC yesterday.

Or like if you're out Like this just unites you And other people around you Yeah, it's a G up, right? Isn't it? I reckon it was the biggest song of 2009 as well I agree Yeah, so I already think I won

Okay I like the confidence I like it Let's go to Gina 2009 as well. I agree. Yeah, so I already think I won. Okay. Okay. I like the confidence. I like it. Let's go to Gina. Hi, Gina. G'day, Gina.

Hi there. Whereabouts are you calling from, Gina? Tauranga today. Oh, lovely. Is that where you normally live? Yes, that is where I normally live. Since you said Tauranga today, it sounded like you get around a bit, Gina. Tauranga today. Tauranga today.

You're all over the place. You never know. You never know. Hey, Gina, what's your birthday? 16 to 791. All right, that means you were 16 in 2007.

And if our calculations are correct, this was at the top. It's really good to hear your voice saying my name. It sounds so sweet. Henda. From the left side of me. Is that suit you, Gina? Oh, no, I'll give that one to Chelsea, I reckon. Hinda or Poor Man's Nickelback? Yeah, exactly. They were big for a hot minute, weren't they? They were big for a song.

Yeah, they really were. Yeah, for sure. And that's your birthday banger Gina. Forever. I regret it. I regret it. Lips of an angel.

I just picture them all in white denim like full white denim. Stanley's here. Hi Stanley. Hi Stanley. Yeah. What's happening?

Not much Stanley. What's happening with you? I'm just driving home. Big day. Big day. About to crack on a few beers. Oh, yes, Stanley. How good's a Thursday night with a few beers?

I shall. I shall. I like the thing. That's how Stanley answers the phone. Bring, bring. Yeah, what's happening? You know how it goes. Nah, Stanley, I like your vibes.

What's your date of birth, Stanley? 6th of August 96. Alright, that means you're 16 in 2012. Stanley, I reckon we got your birthday banger that suits you to a T. Sing it, Stanley.

I got that in the bag, easy. You got that in the bag, easy. You got that in the bag. The man's mood cannot be crushed. I like your style. Yeah, nah, easy win. Hands down. Okay. He's going to phone this one in.

It's so easy. I'm going with my boy, Stanley. I'm going call me maybe Carly Rae Jepsen. I could have gone any of them, but I think based off the attitude, we're going with my boy, Stanley. I'm going, call me maybe Carly Rae Jepsen. I could have gone any of them, but I think based off the attitude, we're going with Stanley. Hey, Stanley, how good would it be to win birthday banger? Yeah, I reckon I've got it. Mate, you've won birthday banger.

Get in, Stanley. Franklin, you're on ZM. Brian Clint. Brian Clint. ZM, that's the birthday banger for Stanley today from 2012. That's Carly Rae Jepsen. Stanley would have been rocking out to that. Can you only imagine?

If I know Stanley. Hey, this story's going to scare you into getting travel insurance for whatever your trip is that's coming up. It just, it should. I feel like it should scare you into getting travel insurance. It might not. Also, just get travel insurance. Like even me, the most unresponsible adult in the world, I get travel insurance. You didn't even have car insurance until 2020. Shut in the world, I get travel insurance.

You didn't even have car insurance until 2020. Shut up. Yes, I did. 2019. When I first moved to New Zealand, I forgot about it for three months and then I realised I needed to get it. Yeah. Watch out for those three months. An Aussie man by the name of Blake Gibbs has to pay $400,000 in medical bills

after he had an accident in Bali and didn't have travel insurance. $400,000. What did he have? A full body transplant? Basically. He did have travel insurance, but he cheaped out. I got a cheap one. He tried to save some money.

Oh, so he tried to do the right thing. No, no, no. Oh, poor Blake. Blair? Blake. Blake. Poor Blake. Listen to the details.

Okay, he was on holiday with two friends in July. And as you do, they rented scooters. In Bali. To get around. That's what you do. That's what you do. That's what you do. That's what you do in Thailand. It's just what you do.

It's half the fun, to be honest, is getting around on those scooters. It's also very dangerous. He missed a right turn, crashed into a cement wall, which resulted in several skull fractures and a traumatic brain injury. Oh, God. Not good. The cost of his medical bills, that $400,000, would have been covered by his travel insurance policy if he'd paid for the motorbike cover.

Why would you get travel insurance if you're going to Bali and not get motorbike cover? So he could save $7.50 a day. Isn't that just going to shit you for the rest of your life? That's what you're getting it for. Yeah, that's what you're getting it for. I mean, not every country you're travelling to, but Bali, you're getting the travel insurance for that.

That poor bloke. First of all, because of the injury and then... He could have bought a completely new brain with $400,000. He could have bought a scooter to ride around home in Australia. No one has $400,000 on their F-plus card ready to pay to. Of course they don't. So you've got an issue where he needs to be kept alive, but the hospital's like, someone's got to pay for this.

And so his travel insurance company lent him the money. Oh, no. No, that's good. It means he got to stay alive, but he has to pay it back. Right. But how much interest are they charging him? Oh, I don't know about that. I don't know. Oh, this just makes me feel... Poor guy.

Poor guy. I feel bad for him. But doesn't that just... For me, that would make me go, cool, I'm going to get travel insurance everywhere I go. It's like the same... Well, it's not the same thing. It's completely different. Well, kind of I go. It's like the same, well, it's not the same thing. It's completely different. Well, kind of the same.

When you go to me, I'm hiring this moving van to help my dad move some stuff. And as someone myself who's worked at a rental car company, you said to me, what insurance should I get? I said, get the full cover insurance. Just get the full cover. Don't skimp out on it. And you go, if I get this one, the excess is only, I said, just get the full cover. Don't skimp out on it. You go, if I get this one, the excess is only... I said

just get the full amount. I got the full amount. Yes, good. Including the windscreen cover. I said get the windscreen cover. I thought we could ask this afternoon, did you get a really big medical bill when you were overseas? That's everybody's worst

nightmare, right? Is that you end up in a foreign country, in a foreign hospital, and you don't understand how the system works. Surely, if you have your health insurance, you should be fine. I think you're covered for something crazy like a million dollars. A friend of mine had travel insurance, thank God, and went overseas. And this was a while ago, I reckon eight years ago maybe, to get breast implants overseas. And some complications happened. She had some infections and this and that.

And her medical bills were through the roof, but she had travel insurance. She was over there. Oh, so it was all good. She ended up being over there for three months. Really? Because she wasn't well enough to fly back home. Did she still get the boobs?

It all worked out in the end, but I mean, I said to her, I was like. A hard way of getting them. I said, would you do it again? She goes, absolutely not. Those boobs are tainted. Every time you look at them, you just think about what happened. She goes, not ideal. Not ideal.

Let's open the phones up. 0800 dial ZM. We want to know from you, how big was your overseas medical bill? Did you get a shock? Whether your insurance covered it or not, we'd like to hear your stories this afternoon. You can text them to 9696 as well, and we'll get them on next. Bree and Clint.

We've asked you the question, what did you find in the bin? What was in the bin? Some security guards in Ireland have found a pair of Manolo Blahnik high heels valued at $1,200 in the bin after the races. And they've fished them out and they've had a whole photo shoot with these shoes. Good find. Someone texted and they said, what if they had weed on those shoes and the security guards are just cuddling them?

What? You reckon they've ditched them because they've weed on them? Well, maybe if you can afford $1,200 heels, you can afford to ditch them if you piss on them. Well, that's true. And as a woman who's been at the races before, sometimes you do need to... Wee on your shoes.

Yeah. It is hard to avoid it, can I say. Would you rather go home barefoot or in suede shoes covered in your own urine? Oh, that's a hard decision. Depends what surface you're walking home on. Gravel. Probably more comfy in no shoes, to be honest. Yeah.

We'll ask, what did you find in the bin? You can still call through. I know 100 dials at M. We'll go to Mike. G'day, Mike. Hi, Mike. Hello. What did you find in the bin? No, still call through. I know 100 dials at M. We'll go to Mike. G'day, Mike. Hi, Mike. Hello. What did you find in the bin?

No, it wasn't actually me. It was my workmate. Okay. What did he find? So I'm not going to say the place I was working for, but we used to go to a treatment plant to pick up the bins that would go to the tip. Yeah. He used to jump in the bin after it's...

So anything that goes in the toilet that's not number two goes into this bin. Okay. Right. Does it get filtered out? Yeah, yeah. Oh my god, I'm so invested. He used to jump in the pit for money. Oh, money! Wait, people flush money down the toilet, Mike? He would jump in the pit that's probably a metre and a half deep

or three metres wide and jump into it and just rake it for money. Yeah. And wait, wait. Are we talking like portaloos and people lean over and they drop their wallets in or something like that? Yeah, yes. Yeah. Any particular treatment plant goes into that bin that's not poos and stuff and he jumped in there and raked it for money.

Mike, what else would he find in there? Eh? Would he find anything else other than money in there? I don't know. I don't know. My boss told me about it. I didn't believe. I don't know. My boss told me that. I didn't believe it until I got told by the guys at the tip. Yeah.

Well, there you go. If you're willing to do it, I guess. He's got to get in the pit. Mike's not paying, though. He's like, absolutely not. Because he's seen the pit. How much money for you to get in there, Mike? How much money would have to be in there?

Nah. Nah. What if there was 10 grand in the bottom of it? Nah. Nah. Nah. Nah, not interested. Mike's got PTSD. He knows what the, not interested. Mike's got PTSD.

He knows what the pit's like. Mike's got standards. Absolutely not. No, thank you. Thanks, Mike. You're okay. Someone said, I threw a suitcase in the bin with $1,000 in it. I hope someone went into the bin for that.

How come it had $1,000 in it? Maybe back from a holiday or something. Maybe we'll hide the money in the lining of the suitcase. Someone else said, my husband found a $10,000 diamond ring in the bin. Oh, do you reckon like... Who's thrown that out? Someone who got cheated on? Maybe.

No, screw this guy. Yeah, but the best form of revenge is selling it. The best form of revenge is cash converters. Let's go to Scott. G'day, Scott. G'day, Scott. Hi, how are you? Were you the guy that was raking the pit, were you, for the money?

Me and the brother went down to the back paddock in Australia and it comes up into this industrial area. Okay. I can't remember what the reason was, but we went upside this building. It had no markings on it. You wouldn't know what they were doing in there. And in the bins, we found Coke and Lipton iced tea and Sprite and Fanta filled from top to bottom. Yeah.

Brand new bottles. So we packed up our backpacks and went home to Dad, showed him. And Dad hooked up the trailer and we went back down and emptied that bin for him. You got a good haul. A whole trailer load full of fizzy drinks. That's a dream. Was it expired or anything like that?

I don't think I even checked, to be honest. Why would you? It was just great having a drink. Scott, when you first started that story and you said in the bin there was coke, I was like, this is a very different story to what it turned out to be. Damn! I'd have been a lot wealthier. I was going to say. Scott's like, we were in

Columbia. Scott's calling us from prison. Thanks, Scott. Good yarn, man. We appreciate it. There you go. Check your bins, everybody. Check your bins. You never know. Check someone else's bins. Maybe don't do that. Check your neighbour's bins.

Rummage through your neighbour's trash. You never know what's in there. There could be a $10,000 diamond ring. Only if they're asleep. Yeah. Yeah. And you're wearing all black. Yes.

And a little head torch. Balaclava. Brian Clint, you're on ZM. Brian Clint. I'm having the classic, the iconic, the goat spag bol. Oh, yum. Oh, can't beat goat spag bol. Oh, yum. Oh, can't beat a spag bol. I know it's for dinner because it was on the bench defrosting when I left the house.

Yeah. A whole lamb hind leg. Yeah, yeah, correct. Now, soup. A soup. What type of soup? It's like a kumara, like a kumara soup. You don't know.

Just say, I don't know. It's yellow. Kumara is not yellow. It's golden. Golden kumara is a golden. Yeah, could be. Excuse me. Sounds like a pumpkin soup.

Sounds like a pumpkin and kumara soup. I might not cook the soup or any of the meals, but I buy the groceries for them, okay? I know what's in the soup. Right. What's in the soup? Kumara? Maybe turmeric?

Oh, yeah, that would make it yellow. I've got no idea. Producers? What are you having? Claudia, what's for dinner? I still feel a bit queasy, so maybe a plain tortilla like last night. A plain tortilla? Slow down.

Cheese. Girl dinner. Girl dinner. Ella, what's for dinner? I'm going to my mum's house, so whatever she makes me. I wish I could go to my mum's house on a whim. Feels good. I bet.

Yeah. Maybe fly over to Mama Di. Say hi. Yeah. It's efficient. All right. Have a great night, everybody. We'll catch you guys back tomorrow. Bye to Mama Di. Say hi. It's efficient. All right, have a great night, everybody. We'll catch you guys back tomorrow.

Bye. Girl dinner. Girl dinner. Girl dinner. Oh, girl dinner. Just having a piece of bologna on a plate. Play. ZM's Brand Clint.
