The ZM Podcast Network Bula everybody, that's Fijian for hello and welcome to the Brie and Clint podcast Buongiorno That's Italian for hello and welcome to the Brie and Clint podcast Ciao Ah, hallo Is that Dutch? That's German

Oh Germans didn't try very hard did they? It just sounds like hello It's hallo Hallo Hallo Did you guys know this? Ciao means hello and goodbye Mmm Oh. Germans didn't try very hard, did they? It just sounds like hello. It's hallo. Hallo. Hallo. Did you guys know this? Ciao means hello and goodbye.

Mm. Oh. Isn't that great? Same as... Same as aloha. Mm-hmm. Ah. Yeah.

Aloha. I wish we had something like that in English. Hello and goodbye. Yeah, do we have anything that's hello and goodbye? Um... Nah. We don't, eh? English is not an exciting language. It's pretty boring.

Is it boring or are we just used to it? I think it's boring. Well, I like all the... Well, Shakespeare quite liked it, didn't he? I know. Yeah. I like all the different slang that comes off of it, though. Like, um, like, uh...

Buzzy G. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Or, like, Buzzy G. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Or, or, G'day, G'day mate.

That's, I was thinking rude, I was thinking rude slang. Oh. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah.

Like what rude slang? Yeah, G'day mate, is good day mate. Good day young sir. G'day mate, is good day friend. What does,

but isn't it like saying hello? Yeah, but G'day is short for... Is that what they say? Good day. Good day to say hello. Yeah. But g'day is short for good day. Like back in the day, they would have been like,

good day, Miss Thomas. G'day, g'day, g'day, g'day, g'day, g'day, g'day, g'day. I would have hated to live back in the day. Really? You would hate a corset. Bridget and Mira. Yeah. That guy's spicy ass.

You know how little say us women had? Yeah, that's true. It's even less than now. Yeah, that's true. We weren't even allowed to vote. I was just thinking hypothetically, if we're going back in time, I'd probably be a man anyway, so.

Is that how your time machine works? Is that, can you just pick and choose? Yeah. I will choose the wanger body, please. Well, like, it's not going to happen, so you may as well make it as far-fetched as possible. I would not like to be a woman back in the 30s. That's for sure.

People always look at the past with roasts into glasses, like, oh, I wish I existed then. But I think we genuinely live in the best time. No, I would not. No, it's now, for sure. I would not like to live back then. But, okay, you tell me what. I want to be in the 2000s and buy a shit ton of properties.

Yeah, that'd be pretty good, actually. And go and visit the Great Barrier Reef. Oh, yeah, that'd be good. And just do a lot of, like, you know, your OE and stuff. And we hadn't fucked up the planet as much as what we've done now. Well, we had, but we hadn't realised. Could have gone to Big Day Out. Ignorance is bliss.

Oh, Big Day Out. Oh, my God. I could have gone to that, but we hadn't realised. Could have gone to Big Day Out. Ignorance is bliss. Oh, Big Day Out. Oh, my God. See, I could have gone to that, but I can't. You would froth a Big Day Out so hard. Yeah, I know. It's a lot of me. You guys, what other festivals did you have here back in the day? No, that was it.

That was it. Oh, no wonder you guys are all fizzing on Big Day Out then. Yeah, that was it. We had so many in Australia. Stereo Sonic. Oh, that stopped day after. Stereosonic. Oh, that stopped that. Stereosonic. Future Music was another one.

These were all recent festivals, though. We're talking like 2000s festivals. Yeah, some of these were in the 2000s. Talking like really ages ago when Clint was much. Yeah, what else did we have? There were so many. There were so many. Yeah, okay.

I'll go back to the 2000s. 2000s was good. There was a punk rock one. And do you want to be a man or a woman? I'd also... Low-rise jeans, woman for sure. I'd much rather be a woman in the 2000s because... I rate the style of Summerfield Days.

But also, like, less complicated. That was a good one. Without, like, so many phones and stuff. Like, call up your mates If I went back to the 2000s as a woman I reckon I'd wear way less three quarter pants Three quarter pants No good

Three quarter pants look like you're preparing for a very long flight I've got some three quarter pants that I wear They're corduroy, thank you Where are they? The corduroys You've commented and said that you like them Those are cropped pants Those are cropped pants, Bree

Bree and Clint. Yeah, awesome, cheers What else I'd like right now And I'll be honest Something that makes me feel at least 40% hotter Is a fake tan I just feel a million bucks When I put a fake tan on You know what I want to normalise?

Men's fake tan You surprised me with one that time we went to LA And I was like, this is so dumb I'm a man, what am I getting a spray tan for? The number of responses I got from my Instagram stories, the people were like, you look different. You look good. It seriously builds your confidence and it just makes you feel good.

So I'm all for the fake tan and I say normalise men's fake tans. You get it if you want it. Why should we only just enjoy it? I've got a can. My wife got it for me, A can of Bondi Sands. No, I got that for you. Oh, did you get it for me? It was me.

I'm always getting you and my wife confused. But I'm like, what's the difference between men's fake tan and women's fake tan? I don't think there is. I just think they're trying to make you feel more comfortable. Oh, right. Yeah. Right. Did I say that on Mark?

I don't know. Okay. It doesn't matter. Remember that time we gave producer Ben a fake tan? No. But we gave him like... We gave him six fake tans. Six fake tans just on the front?

Yeah, but he's from Christchurch and we were going down for... He needed to look his best. ...cup and show, so he needed to look good for his big return. Your teeth have never looked whiter. Yeah, they never looked whiter. Yeah. I had like five showers to get that off. Still looked good though.

Yeah. Yeah. It did actually look really nice once you had five showers. Yeah, like three days later it looked great. It looked fantastic. But there's a story going viral at the moment and it's of a woman, her name's Derry and she's 36. She's from the UK and she had talked about how she really wanted

to get a fake tan but she'd never had one before. So she'd never had one,. So she'd never had one. Picture this. It was her wedding the next day. Right. And she decided that it'd be a great idea to go get her first fake tan. Right. The day before the wedding.

Is that not a good idea? Look, I'm going to say if you've never had a fake tan, probably best to test run it. Right. Before the wedding. My wife did that. She had a test run. Yeah, because you don't know what colour you'd want and all that kind of stuff.

The wedding was out of town too, so we had to drive there and get a fake tan like months before the wedding. Yeah, yeah. Because you don't know. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I do my own these days. Do you? It's, you know, relatable. Just get the glove out. It's not a good time in my bathroom. I offer to do the glove job for Lucy. Didn't you ask her's, you know, relatable. Just get the glove out. It's not a good time in my bathroom.

I offered to do the glove job for Lucy. Didn't you ask her to glove you once? Yeah. And then you asked to glove you in a few weird places. No, I didn't. And she said, that's enough. No, I just said, glove my face for that video shoot we did. And glove this space as well.

Anyway, this woman, she decided she's going to get this spray tan. It's going to be great. Anyway, she went to a beautician, like a professional, to go get it done. And one of her friends had given her the tip and said that you need to go like twice. You need to get double the tan. You need to get twice the amount.

Is that real advice? Look, I like to do two coats when I'm doing a bit of Bondi Sands. Yeah. I think it is a good idea to do two coats. But I don't know about like a professional one. But anyway, so she's gotten double the coat and she's asked for the darkest tan possible. Oh, the day before your wedding.

And this was all advice from a friend. And she's never had a fake tan before. She's never had a fake tan. Her husband won't recognise her. Anyway. So she didn't get married because her husband didn't recognise her. No. Anyway, so it hasn't turned out well. She came

home and apparently her kids were crying, laughing because they thought it was so funny. They thought it was a joke. Anyway, she said she had to throw out her bed sheets. They were completely destroyed. And that she also, she woke up in the morning because she thought, oh, this is just what it looks like now because it's fresh.

She woke up in the morning. It was twice as bad because a fake tan develops overnight. Anyway, she said she had, same as producer Ben, about six showers and then it was perfect. Oh, right. So she was good to go. Oh, sweet. So it has a happy ending.

I thought you were going to say she slid into her white wedding dress. She's got all like poo stains from where the tan is rubbed onto the edges. It's the worst in the armpits when you start to sweat. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then it comes out in the armpits. Oh, good. Okay. Oh, happy ending then.

So there was a happy ending, but there was a lot of panic. Oh, Christ. Is that the before photo? Yeah, on the right. She looks like she's... You can't even barely see her eyes. ...doing blackface. Yeah.

It's really not good. She's even got a... So she got it down to that one for the wedding? Yes. Oh, she must have scrubbed like four layers of skin off. Wow. She'd be very exfoliated on the bright side. She would be, yeah.

Fresh and ready to go for the wedding. Oh, you're right. This does have a happy ending. It does. So she looked great at the end. I thought we could ask people to call 0800-DIALS-IT-M. And I'd love for the lads to call because let's normalise men's tans. But I feel like it's going to be mostly the ladies.

What's your fake tan fail? Yeah, fake tan disasters. Like what happened? I've read this story and I think it was this Aussie presenter and she'd had a fake tan put on and she was breastfeeding her one-year-old. Yeah. Tan the baby's face? The whole baby's face was tanned.

Okay, fake tan disasters, 0800 dials at M or you can text them to 9696. Bree and Clint. A woman over in the UK has managed to get out of a fake tan fail just by the skin of her very, very white teeth after she asked for double layer tan in the darkest tan the beautician had. The day before her wedding. Yeah, and she'd never had one before. She hadn't tested it.

Turns out it was too dark. Way too dark. So she had to have about six showers and it all turned out okay. It looked great in the end. I can't believe she'd never had a tan and decided to get one before the wedding. Yeah, it's very risky. Well, I would think so. You know, it's interesting.

Someone on the text machine text us and they said, I'm 36 and I've never had a fake tan. Trust me. Do yourself a favour. Go get one. See how you feel afterwards. It's like a superpower. You literally feel like you're better than everyone.

You also feel like you're fit. You take your shirt off and you're like, did I lose some weight? Did I get ripped? It's like me after eating healthy for four hours. I'm like, am I ripped now? Am I ripped? Am I, Fitzbo? Am I better than everybody?

Jess is here. Hi, Jess. Hi, Jess. G'day. What was your fake tan fail? I was getting ready for my cousin's wedding, and I'm a farmer, so I was trying to patch up the classic tan line. Ah, yes.

I'd never faked tans before, and I turned out to look like a zebra. No! So did you fake tan the real tanned bits and the untanned bits? Well, I tried to do the untanned bits, and I don't know what I did wrong. Yeah, right.

And what did you do? I've never been back to fake tan since. That's what happened after that situation. Now, if you have a big family wedding coming up, do you just farm nude for a couple of weeks before the event even things out? Good idea. Well, I'm not sure if the neighbours would appreciate it, but it's a brilliant idea.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's a great idea. My dad's the same because he's got, like, literally 60-year-old farmer's tan. Yeah, yeah. yeah. It's a great idea. My dad's the same because he's got like literally 60-year-old farmer's tan. Yeah, yeah. 60 years worth of it. And I said to him one time because we went to a wedding in Byron Bay, so we wore shoes and he had shorts on because it was real hot. And I was like, Dad, you can't wear socks to the wedding.

And he goes, I'm not wearing socks. And I was like, oh, that's your tan. That's your tan. That's why they call them the Naked Orchardists now. Jo's here. Hi, Jo. G'day, Jo. Hey, how are you?

Good, thank you. What's your fake tanning fail? It's not really my fail. It's my cousin. See, she decided that she wanted to borrow some of my Nivea moisturiser in the bathroom. Okay. Oh, yes. And, yeah, she ended up turning really dark

and she realised after a few weeks that she had been using gradual tanner instead of normal moisturiser. Which I reckon is further right for stealing my stuff without asking. Oh, so she didn't ask permission. She was sneaking some of what she thought was your regular moisturiser.

Yeah. I can just imagine you, Jo, some of what she thought was your regular moisturiser. Yeah. I can just imagine you, Jo, going, hey, you're using my moisturiser and her going, nah. And she looks like she's been to Barbados. She would have known. Was she at least moisturising evenly across her whole body or was she just doing her elbows and stuff? She was doing her face and hands.

It was really funny because when she showed me, I was like, oh, your hands are real dirty. I'm like, she'd be like, what is going on? Oh, that's good. Michaela's here. Hey, Michaela. Hi, Michaela.

Hello. How are you? Good, thanks. Now, I understand you're a bodybuilder, so you'd have a very interesting relationship with fake tan. Yeah, yeah. So just imagine you get your base tan the night before the show. You go in in the morning and you get your stage tan and you have to go to McDonald's to get some pancakes so that you pump up or carb up before your show

and you just walk in like a burnt nugget and everyone stares at you. A lot of stares. So how many layers of tan do you have on you when you do one of these shows? So, like, I'm quite pale myself, so, like, I have three tans. You get three tans, or one of them's a touch-up if you need it, but your base tan's normally about three, anywhere between three to six coats of tan. So they go over you like six, you know, three, four, five, six times. It would be like producer Ben going to the Christchurch races.

Yeah, wow. That's wild. Totally off topic for the tan. As a bodybuilder who's been shredding for this event for I don't know how long, how good do those pre-show pancakes taste from Macca's? They taste pretty amazing. Like way, ten times better than when you just eat them on the regular, you know? Yeah, absolutely.

Well, they're pretty average normally. They are heaven. Well, you know, it's a good way to make average food taste amazing. Starve yourself for a while. Hey, thanks, Michaela. Appreciate it. Thank you. Time for the latest.

From iHeart Radio. Time for the latest. From iHeartRadio, this is The Latest. Live from LA with Dean McCarthy. Dean, there's news on Squid Game, and we're all itching for it. Oh, my goodness. This is exciting. There will be a season two. Now, obviously, this is probably not a huge shock because, you know, when you've got the most watched show on Netflix,

over 110 million eyeballs checking it out, it's no surprise they're making season two. So it all went down. Here's what happened. Last night in LA, one of my friends was actually there. The Squid Game cast and directors were in LA for an event. It was like they had security. Put it this way. There was a

police helicopter. Wow. It was so crazy. This show is so massive. And the director has said, you know, he doesn't know exactly how or what will happen in season two, but it's happening. Like, how could it not? How could it not happen with that level of success?

And if you've watched the show, I don't know, spoilers or anything like that, I'm sure you'll agree, there's a way, there's definitely a season two can be pulled out of the ending. Yeah, it's a cliffhanger. I read an article which was talking about how Korean

shows don't usually go past the first season. Right. Really? It's not super common. Maybe they don't get picked up and mainstreamed the way that this has. This has global appeal. This has been like, would you agree, this has been like the next Tiger King? The show? You know what I mean?

That's how big it was. Tiger King was like, you know. Well, bigger. It's the biggest of all time. He's played it very well, the director. Because remember he said, oh, I don't know if I want to make a season two. I don't know if there's going to be a season two. And Netflix is like, uh-uh.

I don't think you understand. There's going to be a season two. And don't know if there's going to be a season two. And Netflix is like, uh-uh. I don't think you understand. There's going to be a season two. And we will pay you. You just need to tell us how much money you want and we will pay for it. And as if you're going to say no. As if. You're not going to say no. Very exciting. Very traumatising. I'm not over season one yet, but that is

the latest on Squid Game with our Hollywood correspondent, Dean McCarthy. Thanks, Dean. Thanks, Dean. Thanks, Dean. Bye, guys. Bree and Clint. That's Maroon 5 and Megan Thee Stallion. Beautiful mistakes. Let's talk.

You're going to talk about children. I just had an epiphany. Wait. Are children beautiful mistakes? They're in the bed. Surely not. They're in bed together making beautiful mistakes. No, I feel like they're saying they're making mistakes by, you know.

Yeah, but are the mistakes babies? No, no. They're saying like they shouldn't be sleeping with this person. You're naked in my bed. Because you know how babies are made. So just a thought, just a thought. Just a thought. I'll ask not just a thought i'll ask adam okay you ask um let's get to the bottom of this because this has been for the last what three

or four days three days and everyone has been talking about this instagram filter uh where it's like we'll plant a tree if you post a picture of your pet yeah i'm no expert but i think we fixed global warming yeah it's done yeah everyone can Yeah. So everyone can, you know, just. Yeah, we're good. Good. Forget the EVs. Cancel the summit. Yeah, yeah.

Cancel the next summit. Stand down, Greta. If you're listening, job done. UNICEF. I don't know what they're called. The United Nations. UNICEF. Right, okay.

They have something to do with climate change. Yeah, right, okay. We're out of our depth, mate. Talk about the filter. I'll talk about the stuff we know, okay. They have something to do with climate change. Yeah, right, okay. We're out of our depth, mate. Talk about the filter. I'll talk about the stuff we know, Instagram. Anyway, so have you seen the new one? No. Post a picture of your feet.

Have you seen that one? No, what does that get? That's actually – What will they do if I post my feet? I think they'll plant a tree if you post a picture of your feet. Really? Well, I've got two feet, so that's two trees. Boom, you're good to go.

That's something I've seen on Instagram. That's actually not a joke. Well, I think it is a joke, but not a joke that it is a thing. Just tell me where the animal one comes from. Who's planting the trees? Who started it and are we getting our trees? Are you ready for scandalo? Yes. So, turns out

the truth has finally come out because yesterday everyone was trying to get to the bottom of it, but turns out that an Instagram account and a small business by the name of Plant a Tree Co. is the people who started it. Right. So they've come forward and they said they're the originator of the sticker and they're annoyed because they're saying, Instagram, give us credit where credit is due.

That was us. Yeah. And anyway, it has since been used, and this story's a bit old, so I don't know how much, but over 4.5 million times. Jeez, do they want the credit? Because if they take the credit, they have to plant the trees. Like if you want to own the sticker, you have to follow through. This is what they said.

We are in awe as to how fast this post has grown. We started this tree planting campaign, but Instagram is not showing our credit and everyone is wondering who's behind it. They've said that, you know, obviously they'd love to plant that many trees, but they didn't expect it to blow up that much. They are going to endeavour to plant as many trees as they can.

Yeah. But they're actually a really sweet company and they're really quite good and they do, like, lots of really cool stuff. They, like, sell necklaces where $1 from every order is donated to charities like American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, and they do all that type of thing.

And they never thought in a million years. They just can't afford four and a half million trees. Well, that's the thing. They're like a charity kind of base, kind of whatever. But they were quite panicked once they saw how viral it was going. You know, this has happened before, eh? Like two elections ago, the New Zealand First Party, their campaign was, we will plant a billion trees.

I'm not kidding. A billion trees? A billion. They said, if you vote for us, we will plant a billion trees. What, here in New Zealand? Here in New Zealand, yeah. Are they insane? Yeah, well, yeah.

Where are they going to put them? Well, they're no longer in the government, so I guess it didn't really work out for them, did it? Talk about shooting for the stars. Can someone just plant some frigging trees? Like, everyone just keeps doing, like, these crazy numbers. Someone just plant some trees. If everyone listening right now goes and downloads our podcast,

we will plant at least one tree. We get a million downloads, we'll plant a tree. One tree. Look, we're heading into the, you know, people love to call it the silly season. People get a bit silly. How silly can it be if we're still in lockdown though? Well, you know, you can get silly on Zoom. How good's the office Christmas party going to be on Zoom?

I'm going to spoil it for you. Not very. Not going to be the best. At least you won't sleep with anyone in the office this year. We party going to be on Zoom? I'm going to spoil it for you. Not very. Not going to be the best. At least you won't sleep with anyone in the office this year. We've got to be positive. We're going to be out. There's going to be office Christmas parties. There's going to be silliness.

Yeah, okay. People are going to be out. Where? In Christchurch? Well, you know, still counts. Anyway, this might be good in the lead up to, you know, the silly season because there's a story out of Israel and this is actually quite cool. I think it's very cool.

A team of archaeologists have uncovered an artefact which they believe is an ancient hangover cure. Oh, okay. Tell me more. So they believe they've uncovered, and this was 150 metres away from what they think was like an age-old winery. Okay. Which dates back as far as Roman times, they say.

And essentially they've found what they believe is a ring uh that the owner of the winery would have wore that's what they reckon okay um so the the ring is actually an amethyst stone right which they say um is not only just good for the environment but can also be good for a hangover did you know that what the crystal't. Man, you built this up so much. You said you had a hangover cure. It's a frigging crystal. Mate, this is archaeology. Is this a healing crystal thing?

You know, my wife, love her, by the way, if you're listening, I love you so much, once gave me a crystal for my hay fever. I was like, I can't breathe. And she was like, put this crystal by the bed. Did you try it? Did you charge it? You didn't charge it. I didn't like, put this crystal by the bed. Did you try it? Did you charge it? You didn't charge it, did you? I didn't charge it.

That might be the issue. Mate, I'm telling you, this isn't coming from me. I'm just reading it from the story. And this is from a team. Their name's got doctor in front of it. Right, okay, all right. They're saying it's an actual thing. People try weird things, I guess.

So tell me a little bit more. How does an amethyst stone cure your hangover? They don't really know. Well, it doesn't happen in the story anyway, but they said that it's like an ancient kind of thing where they say the amethyst stone can pretty much prevent you from getting a hangover. Right.

The ring's pretty fancy, though. It's like in pure gold and stuff. Okay. And they reckon it's, yeah, from Roman times. Look, people will try anything once, especially people who are over the age of 30 will try anything to avoid or get over a hangover because how bad do they get? So bad.

So bad. You know what's real interesting? I found this so interesting. You know Megan who works here in our social media department? She made a comment to me the other day, which I found really interesting. She goes, oh, she goes, I always get bad hangovers for a year and then for the year after that I don't have hangovers at all and then I get real bad hangovers the next year

and then the year after don't get hangovers. No, that's not a thing. That's what she told me. No, that's not a thing. She said it's legit and she said next year is a non-hangover year for her. See, if I had that superpower, that would be dangerous to know about. Isn't that amazing? Can we get her?

I want to get her on the phone when we come back. Okay. And she'll tell you. Yeah, okay. To prove it. Well, yeah. It's quite interesting. I'd love to get some hangover cures that work as well.

Are you saying the amethyst doesn't work? I don't believe it works, but maybe you believe it does and you want to vouch for the amethyst stone as a hangover cure. Oh, yeah, that'd be interesting. Do you know anything about that? Yeah, and please don't call up and say one water, one drink because I know that works. Because it's defeating the purpose.

It works at the start of the night and then you forget about it, all right? But it's also defeating the purpose. Like you're battling yourself. What's the purpose. It works at the start of the night and then you forget about it, all right? But it's also defeating the purpose. Like you're battling yourself. What's the purpose? Like, you know, if you want to, let's say the goal. Is the purpose to get as much alcohol on board as possible? No, no, no. Let's just say the goal is to get a little bit rowdy,

a little bit tipsy, right? Yeah, yeah. And if you're going one alcohol, one water, you're literally hindering yourself. Too much of a handbrake. Which, I mean, I also agree it's quite good though. 0800 dial ZM or you can text us on 9696. What's your hangover cure slash prevention technique?

We'll get them on. We'll collect them. We'll also talk to Megan who believes she has hangover years off. Brianne Clint. Talking hangover cures after what they reckon is an ancient artefact was found, a ring, an amethyst ring near a winery in Israel and they reckon it was worn by the person who owned the winery to prevent hangovers.

Long bow to draw, I feel. Like, he owned a winery and he had a ring. He used it for hangovers. I mean, you can't argue with archaeology. That's what I always say. We're going to talk to you about hangover cures that you have, but you said something really shocking about someone who works here before.

Yeah, there's one of my mates who works here. Her name's Megan. She mentioned this to me on the weekend and she said, I have one year where I get really bad hangovers and then the next year I don't get any hangovers and it just keeps going like that throughout my life. She's hungover biannually. Welcome to the show, Megan.

Hello. Is this not true? This is what you said to me, right? So I don't know the science behind it, but it's definitely facts. It's not. It can't be. It can't be. We can test it this weekend if you like. So, is

it a calendar year? Like, do you hit December 31st and then January 1st is either going to be really good or really bad? December 31st is coming up real soon. There's limited time left. Yeah, I know. Everybody wants this year to end except me. Are you in a good year? We're in a good year. We're in a good year.

Oh, bad year to have a good year. Yeah. Well, not much going on. Have they studied you? Has anyone studied you to find out what it is? Because I've never heard of someone having a year about with good and bad hangovers. No, I haven't really told anyone about it. It's just a thing.

Ever since I turned 30, it's just been bad hangovers. Well, there could be other people out there. You never know. Yeah, message us on 9696 if you have bad hangover years and good hangover years. Thanks, Megan. If you're a doctor and you'd like to study her as well, maybe probe her a bit.

Let us know. Let us know. Shana's here. Hi, Shana. Hi, Shana. Hi. Hi. Nothing beats a good old parent, a parent, ah, sorry,

a Panadol, a Powerade, and a McMuffin. The trilogy. I love that. You need something starting with P for the last one. Panadol, a Powerade, and a panini or something like that. A panini. Panini. Pancakes.

A grilled panini. Oh, pancakes. Shainaini. Pancakes. A grilled panini. Oh, pancakes. Shanna, can I ask how old you are? 18. Yeah, right. No, you don't know what a hangover is yet, Shanna. Shanna's like, nothing beats just a nice shower. Nothing beats youth.

Charlotte's here. Hi, Charlotte. Hi, Charlotte. Hi. What do you think is the best hangover cure? I pre-prepare and make about a half a litre of green tea and shove it in the fridge and then down it when I get home. A half a litre of green tea?

Yeah, she works. Is it before bed you do the green tea? Yeah. There's quite a lot of caffeine to have before you go to bed. You're not affected by that? I guess you're so steamed you just fall asleep anyway, right? Yeah, you've got the steamed snooze effect. I'll try that because, I mean, you know, green tea meant to be very healthy.

Yeah, I'll try anything once. And you swear by it, Charlotte? You reckon it works? I stand by it. And she's really hydrating too. Yeah, right. Okay. I'll give it a whirl.

Thanks, Charlotte. Half a litre of green tea. You'll be up four times in the night to go to the toilet. Yes. That's all good. Andrew's here. Hi, Andrew. G'day, Andy. How's it going?

Yeah, good. Good, mate. What's your hangover cure? Yeah, go for like a 5K run or something. Yeah, it just about kills you, but it'll also help get the hangover gone. No. Andrew. I can't run 5K on a good day.

Don't let Andy on here. Andy. I can't think of anything worse. He's taking the piss. You're taking the piss. You don't actually do that. No, it started one time. I was meant to be training, and I was just hungover,

but I just kept training anyway, and I thought, oh, you know, that's actually a good system. Do you think it's because when you're running, obviously it forces you to throw up? You get all the bad toxins out of your system. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Something like that.

Hey, thank you, Andy. I'm really surprised we didn't get as many wake and bake suggestions as I thought we'd get. Is that a thing? Isn't it? Is it? I don't get as many wake and bake suggestions as I thought we'd get. What's that? You know. Is that a thing? Isn't it? Is it?

I don't know. Not for me, but I thought that was New Zealanders go to. How come you know about it then? I didn't know about it. I'm from Rotorua. A teacher in high school. What do you bake? Cookies or a cake? Yeah, yeah, cookies.

The ingredients list is on the page, the group page, if you want to go join. It's at the Brian Clint Facebook page. Yesterday I asked you to bring in a test batch of the tiramisu,

like a control batch to know if this thing is actually any good because up until yesterday I'd never tasted it. Yeah, so you were just flying blind. Yeah. Yeah, you were putting a lot of trust in me. It could have been real bad. We're putting the reputation of the show in the hands of your tiramisu. And I thought, don't take my

word that it's all good. You said it was decent. Yeah, I thought it was decent. But I'll eat anything. So you're only calling it decent then? Oh no, I thought it was quite good. Okay. But don't take my word for it. Okay. Over the last 24 hours, we have shipped a fresh piece of your tiramisu off to one of New Zealand's hottest and most controversial food reviewers.

Please welcome to the show, Albert Cho, aka Eat Lit Food. Oh my God. Hi. Hi. Hello. Oh my God, I love you. Oh, I love you. I loved you on Celebrity Treasure Island Oh thanks so much

Well I might not love you after this Depending on your review I actually haven't tried it yet They want me to get like the first response So you're going to get like my reaction to it This is like a live taste test This is like live TV It could go real bad

If you've never been on the Eat Lit Food Instagram page Where have you been? Yeah You're living under a rock Albert reviews the best and worst food around It could go real bad. If you've never been on the Eat Lit Food Instagram page, where have you been? Yeah. You're living under a rock. Albert reviews the best and worst food around, and he is brutally honest. And so what we want from you, Albert, is brutal honesty about Bree's Nuna's tiramisu.

Okay? Okay. Should I eat it now? Yeah. Well, you can describe it first. What does it look like to you? Is that flake chocolate? Yes, it now? Yeah. Well, you can describe it first. What does it look like to you? Is that flake chocolate? Yes, it is.

It is. Okay, okay. Oh, no, this is going to be bad. No, I love the kiwi twist. Okay, okay. So the authentic Italian term is this. Cool. Very good, generous layers of, looks like mascarpone cream.

Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. Oh, my God, this could go so badly. Just know that this has come from the motherland. Oh, my God. This could go so badly. Just know that this has come from the motherland. Oh, my God. You put some, like, masala or something in it. Oh, very good. Yes, very well done. Well spotted.

Lots of, it's very cream cheesy. Almost tastes like a tiramisu cheesecake. Very tart. Too cream cheesy in your opinion or just right? I think it's really good. Good. The good good. Good. The good ratios. Yeah.

The coffee, I think at Dole's it tastes like a long black rye than espresso. Now, you have an expert palate because Brie has a confession there. Yeah, look, I've got a confession. This was all last minute because it was the test batch. And normally I use espresso, but I had only plunger coffee. Plunger coffee. No, that's fine. Once I used Macona.

Oh my God, you're going to have a sponsorship with him? So I can totally take that back. Macona? No, we don't have a sponsorship. I'm a straight and espresso man. Macona, great for a last minute, you know, when you really need a coffee. Not good for an authentic Italian tiramisu. Where do you agree on that?

No, this is actually a very good tiramisu. I love the, I'm a real creamy tiramisu guy. I like it with lots of cream cheese and mascarpone. So the fact that I said it's very cream cheesy was a very good thing. Okay, cool. The flake chocolate, the flake chocolate's just funny. I think it's really funny. It's relatable, right?

Look, I'm not going to lie. It's a bogan element. I've got a confession. My nonna didn't exactly put the flake chocolate in there. She used to do the authentic, you know, cocoa and whatever it was on top. But I quite like it because it cuts through all the creaminess and gives you a little bit of a, you know, different vibe. Yeah, no, I think this tiramisu, a lot of, when you're a kid, you don't really like tiramisu that

much because coffee and a little bit of booze. Yeah. But I think a little flake chocolate, well, this is great for a Christmas party. Oh, okay. Well, we're going to cook this on Friday live on our Facebook stream. Could you give it a rating for us? Could we get an Eat Lit Food rating for Bree's family's authentic? Regular scale.

Yeah. I'm not sure if everyone knows this, but I have a regular scale and an Eat Let Food scale. Yes, absolutely. Everything's above a 10 for an Eat Let Food scale because I can't cook to save my life, so everything deserves a 10. But on a regular scale, I'll give it a 9.36. And on an Eat Let Food scale, like a 14.23. Shut up.

You're being nice. You don't have to be nice. You can roast me if you want. I'm being completely honest. Just use espresso next time, please. Okay. Oh, look. This is paying my life.

Do you want to roast Brie personally or something? Maybe you just enjoy your tiramisu and make some personal digs. Yeah, just something about my appearance would be good. No, there is one thing. Where are you from? Because on Celebrity Treasure Island

the accent really boggled my mind a bit sometimes. Mate, I'm from everywhere now. I'm all over. I'm half Italian. I'm an Aussie. I've got a bit of, you know,

Kiwi in me now because I date one. There was definitely some Aussie flair to your words, but then there's definitely like an Italian punch. See? Can you come back? I actually am obsessed with you. This has made my whole week.

This is so cool. No, your term as well has made my whole week. There it is. It's hard to get these take away. That's the endorsement that we need. That's a great endorsement. Albert, aka Eat Lit Food, thank you for reviewing Bree's Nona's famous tiramisu.

We love you. Thank you for having me. Thank you for feeding me. If you want to cook it with us, you can text ZOOM to 9696 right now. We'll fire you back all the details. So you can join in the tiramisu this Friday evening. What do you give it a 9.3?

Yeah, pretty big deal, right? Stoked with that. Bree and Clint. Google, are you down, down, down, down, down, down, down? What the hell? I think Google's actually... Yeah, this is the game where we find out who is the fastest Googler. And you all go head to head here

in the studio and also someone else on the phones. And that today is you, Kate. G'day. Hi. How are you? Good, thanks. That's good to hear. Kate, have you heard Google Down before? I have, actually. Okay, perfect. Well, for everyone listening that hasn't heard Google Down, here's how it goes. So I will be asking a question that I've put into Google.

I'm looking for the most common answer that comes up for that question. First person to yell it out correctly will get a point. If you yell out the wrong answer, you're out of that question. First to three right wins. Got it. All right. Are we all ready to play? Kate, what are you Googling on?

Computer. Oh, okay. Oh, okay. Oh, look out, this is cool. Okay. We haven't done a computer round in a long time. Anastasia didn't even bring her laptop in. And I feel like I nearly was about to say, nah, they can all Google

on a phone to give you an advantage because I want you to win, Kate. But producer Anastasia has just run out and got her laptop. Alright, we're not going to wait. We're going to start. Question number one. Is everyone ready? Too bad.

Here we go. How many albums has Justin Bieber sold? How many albums? 70 million. Yeah. More than 70 million. 70 million worldwide is the answer I was looking for. Clint gets the point.

I got my password in time. She's not even logged in. Was your password 70 million? No, unfortunately not. All right, one to Clint. Here we go. Question number two. What is the hottest Earth temperature in Celsius ever recorded? 130.

Ah, yeah. Okay, mate. 56.7 C. 58. What did you say? 56.7 C. That is correct. Anastasia gets that point.

It was on the 10th. I was doing Fahrenheit. So it's not 93.9 in California? No, I think that's the ZM frequency in Hamilton. Yeah, yeah. It was on the 10th of July in 1913 in Death Valley in California. There you go. Bit of trivia for you.

Sounds lovely. One to Anastasia, one to Clint. Here we go. Question number three. What is Jeff Bezos' girlfriend's name? She was in the news this week. Lauren Sanchez. She's a news reporter.

That is correct. It is Lauren Sanchez. How are you going, Kate? It sounds like you're having a great time. I'm getting back there. I tell you. I'm doing my stuff. Yes.

Come on. You got this one, Kate. You got this one. I googled what is Jeff Bezos' name. I just wrote Jeff's girlfriend and it came up. Did it? Yeah, that's how good he is. All right, come on.

One of you guys needs to stop Anastasia here. Should I lock my laptop again? Yeah, maybe. Question number four. How many women are there in the world? Tons. 3.905 billion. That is correct.

Clint comes back with a one-two on Anastasia. I couldn't actually spell woman or world there. What can I say? I know women. All right. All of them. We'll just breeze past that. Two to Clint, two to Anastasia.

Come on, Ben. Come on, Kate. You guys need to jump in here to stop one of them. Here we go. Question number five. How many KFCs are there in New Zealand in 2021?

91. Ben is out. Oh, okay. Over 100 stores? 102. 102. 102. You know what? I'm going to give the most accurate answer to Kate. Because it says over 100, so I'll give it to her.

Let's just find out. You don't know if she's accurate? Oh, that's controversial. I said over 100. Okay, then. That's all right. Ben's out. All right, here we go.

Question number six. How many men are there in the world? 3.93 billion. You know what? Clint has taken it today. You know what? You could also say Clint knows me. Yeah, he does.

Knows them very well. Very well. Very well. Kate, you're an absolute joy and I loved you. So you're getting the KFC chicken dollars. Nice work. Even better. Thanks, guys.

No worries. You can spend that at any of the 102 KFC restaurants around the Motu. Go hard, Kat. Unless you're in lockdown, in which case you can only spend it in Auckland. Yeah. Oh, thank you, David. We're all good. What about afterpay for a second?

I know you're not a big afterpayer, but I know a lot of people are. I have never been a big person to make a purchase if I don't have the money. You don't like the debt? You don't even have a credit card? No, I've never had one. It just scares me. Yeah. You know, but I think it's great.

Like, Afterpay has been really good for people. And Nastasia would be on the Afterpay, wouldn't she? Yeah, I reckon she definitely would be a candidate. Are you in the Afterpays? No, I've got heaps of friends, but no, I just, I could not trust myself with something like that. You've got heaps of friends? I've got heaps of friends who have Afterpay, but no.

Just wanted to drop that comment in. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I do have heaps of friends who have Afterpay but no I just wanted to drop that comment in I do have heaps of friends Honestly, honestly This is a big change coming to Afterpay It's rolling out in Australia but it's the same company so you've got to think it's going to come here to New Zealand very shortly

From the end of this week Afterpay You don't have to pay anything back No, that's not how... Damn, that'd be great. No, that would be a really good change, but no. Never pay. They're going to call it never pay.

No, that's a different service. Oh, bugger. From the end of this week, Afterpay will be rolling out in 160 pubs across Australia. Oh. Oh, no. They've said they want to offer. Oh, no. They've said they want to offer a forward-thinking tech solution that delivered a more convenient experience for guests, a.k.a. go to the pub and get your drinks.

Not keen. And then pay for it with four easy payments over the next four weeks or four months. Not keen at all because I know what I'm like when I'm at the bar. Had a few drinks and then I'll go, who wants a drink? I'll put it on after pay. Your account running out of money or your credit card

maxing out is the handbrake that you need in a bar. If your card goes to a client and the barman leans over and goes, you want to put those on after pay? Can you imagine the damage people will do? You'd go, yes, I do. And for this one time, I want to shout the whole bar. That's tomorrow me's problem.

Yeah, exactly right. Not me right now's problem. They're going to do it in restaurants and bars. They reckon it's better than using your credit card, which I don't know about that. Why did they say that? Because you don't pay interest. I think because you don't pay interest.

But you don't pay interest on the credit card either if you pay it off. How do they make money on after pay? Because you don't pay interest. I think because you don't pay interest. But you don't pay interest on the credit card either if you pay it off. How do they make money on Afterpay? They charge the store a fee. To be able to use it. To be able to use it. Yeah. Oh, I like that.

Well, yeah. Well, actually, I don't like that because small businesses, that's not really fair. No, but it's fine because then they encourage you to make a purchase that you couldn't otherwise afford. Well, true. It encourages people to buy more stuff. So the store then goes, so you go into the store and you see a coat and you say to the attendant, how much is the coat? He goes, oh, this coat's $250.

You go, well, I don't actually have $250. And he goes, well, that's fine. Just put it on after pay. Oh, so it does, it's a win-win. Yeah, it's a win-win there. But now think about that in a bar where you're like. Oh, that's such a bad idea. No smart financial decisions have ever been made in a bar.

Can you imagine you go to a bar one night and you're like, oh, I'm just going to afterpay all of these espresso martinis. That's what's going to happen. For the entire bar. Yeah. And then you end up paying off espresso martinis for the rest of your life. You think a two-day hangover is bad. Imagine if you have a four-week financial hangover from the bar. I mean I'm

being very cynical. Some responsible people out there may do the right thing and put one to two standard drinks in their after pay. I don't know. I can just never tell me a situation where this is a good idea. There's none. There isn't any. Nah I just

think you should. It's literally like you know what you should. It's literally like, you know what it is? It's literally like getting someone real steamed and then letting them walk into their favourite clothing store and saying, have fun. You know when you're steamed, you're just like, oh, I'll get this and I'll get that. Which you can also

do if you get really steamed and head to a clothing store. There's actually no law against that and you can afterpay there as well. Oh, look out Gucci. Here I come. I love a good life hack. A money saving hack actually is even better. And I came across this one on TikTok.

It's from a Sydney woman her name's Queenie and she posted about this money saving hack on her TikTok. It's got to do with McDonald's. Okay. And I was like, okay, interesting. You've got my attention.

And it's about saving money on a certain item at McDonald's. Take a listen. Can I get a small chocolate sundae? Sure, that's $4.30. Watch me order a slightly smaller version for a quarter of the cost. Can I get a soft serve in a lid with chocolate sauce? Sure. That's $1.

What? What? What? So it's the same thing because essentially it's slightly smaller, they say. But you only pay a dollar. Is there a standard amount that comes as the soft serve? I think so, in the lid.

And then you add the chocolate sauce on. Is the soft serve still 50 cents? I don't know. They always were. I'm not sure. Right, okay. But I thought- If that's true, wow, okay.

I know. Well, you're about to find out if it's true or not because I went to McDonald's earlier today and I recorded myself and let's just say it was quite the ordeal. Take a listen as to what happened. Right, here we are. I'm just pulling into the McDonald's drive-thru.

Hi there. Hi there. How much is a regular fudge sundae? $4. And how much is a soft serve in a lid with fudge yeah can I get the soft serve in a lid with the with the fudge please you can't give me a soft serve in the lid you have to buy an apple pie. And then you get the soft serve in the lid. Yeah.

And how much is the apple pie and the soft serve in the lid? The apple pie is $4.30 and same price. Okay. So you can't get the soft serve in the lid by itself? Yeah. Right. Okay. I'll just get the regular sundae with the fudge, please.

Sorry, we don't do regular ones. Just large size and small size. Oh, just the fudge please? Sorry we don't do regular ones, just large size and small size. Oh just the small please. Small plain hot tea also? Just the hot fudge small Sunday please. That's all? Yep that's it thank you. Thanks. Thank you. That'll teach me for trying to be stingy and not pay the full price. I just picked up my sundae, and after all of that, it's a large, and it has no fudge in it. Wow, you really hacked them. I really showed them.

Life hack. Damn, you've cracked the system. Money-saving hack. That'll teach me. It was too good to be true. It was too good to be true. Well, I was so confused because when I first asked, she said, oh, yeah, that's $1.50.

And I said, whoa, life hack. Yeah. And then as we got into it, can't get the soft serve without buying an apple pie, which ends up costing you $4 something, which is more than a sundae. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was too good to be true. which ends up costing you $4 something, which is more than a Sunday. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, it wasn't.

Of course, yeah, it was too good to be true. Anyway, it was a fail, wasn't it? Yeah, but now you know. Yeah, well, that's what I did. You can report that TikTok to the TikTok company and say this is fake news. That's what I'm going to do. You should do because she's wasted your time.

That was the whole point of this. She's forced you to go through the drive-thru. How dare she? You weren't even That was the whole point of this. She's forced you to go through the drive-thru. How dare she? You weren't even planning on having a cheat day today. I'm going to send her a message on TikTok. Send her the invoice for your fudgeless fudge sundae. It was $4 something and no fudge. It was just ice cream.

Should we get some real life hacks in here that actually work? Yeah, I want to hear because, I mean, mine was a fail, but do you have a really good life hack? It doesn't have to be food-based. It can be anything. But what is your go-to life hack that you just use in your everyday life and are you willing to share it with us this afternoon? Do you want to try my Sprite and Coke one?

Yeah, go on. Okay, I'll go and get the Sprite and Cokes. 0800 DIAL ZM or you can text us on 9696. What is your life hack? Let's share the love people. Might be saving you money might be saving you time. Brie and Clint.

We're talking life hacks ones that work. Brie found out that that one going around on TikTok the cheap fudge sundae one doesn't work. I tried it.

Which is sad for you isn't it? Double fudge sundae girl. Well that's why I tried it and was so interested because I was like, oh, my God, that's my favourite thing. That's how they know you at the Greyland McDonald's. Literally.

And now they know me as Stingy Girl. The one I've seen on TikTok that I was wondering if it worked was a barman said if you don't have any ginger beer, ginger ale. Ginger beer? Ginger ale. It's got to be ginger ale. Must be ginger ale. Because ginger beer, nah.

I don't know the difference. But he said if you don't have some and someone orders one, you can do it out of the gun. A glass of Sprite, add a splash of Coke, and you won't be able to taste the difference. More likely that it's ginger ale. I don't reckon it will work. Splash of Coke.

I mean, it kind of looks like ginger ale. We're going to test it together. So taste that. Okay. If this life hack works, I mean, I don't know if it would save anybody any money. That tastes like ginger ale. No, it doesn't.

It tastes terrible, actually. It tastes like real weak or flat. We haven't successfully found a single life hack that works. That's why we're going to the people. Right, Caleb's here.

Hi, Caleb. G'day, Caleb. How you guys are going? Good, thanks. Please tell us a life hack that actually works. Rolling the chip packet up from the bottom instead of using a bowl and creating a bowl. Yes, I love this one. Oh, my God.

Jinx. Whoa. We do that in here all the time because on a Friday we have chippies. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And we always do that. No dishes, eh, Caleb? No, it's a great show. The old bag bowl.

So good. Yeah, okay. And people think you're really, like, fancy or, like, cool and you do it at parties. Do they? It's my go-to party. See? All right, okay.

I don't know about fancy. I think bowl screams fancy. I think rolled up bag screams resourceful. Well, it's just, you know, people don't say that all the time. Amy's here. Hey, Amy. Hi, Amy. Hi, how you doing?

Good, thanks. What's your go-to life hack? Pulling boiling water onto any blueberry, strawberry stain on clothes and it just disappears like magic. Just boiling water and that works? Just straight boiling water from the kettle onto the clothes and it just disappears like magic. Oh. Just boiling water, and that works? Just straight boiling water from the kettle onto the clothes, and it just disappears. Obviously after you take the clothes off, though.

Obviously, yeah, yeah, yeah. Obviously, duh. Doesn't shrink the clothing? No. Wow. You just pour it onto the little spot where the berry is, like kids and berries, it goes everywhere, so you just pour the boiling water on and then just wash it

Amy do you think in your opinion works on other types of stains or mainly berry related I haven't tried it on anything else

but just berries all berries it works on yeah I'll be using that cool we'll take that life hack Lauren

what's your tried and tested proven life hack for us when I order peach online I Google coupons and then a whole bunch of coupons come up and you can chuck them in and get like 30% off your pizza.

Lauren, let me add to your life hack. Have you ever tried doing that when you're ordering clothes or anything online? Like not even just clothes, like anything you're ordering online, try and Google a coupon for it first. It's the best game. Oh, my God, I need to start that one too. Do that.

I'm telling you, it's the best game ever. There's all those fake coupon websites though. Yeah, but some of them work. Right, you just have to try a few. The cheapies ones. I find the cheapies ones always seem to come up good. Yes, you have to put in a little bit more work, but sometimes you can save like $60 on certain stuff.

All right, we'll take that one. Cheap pizza. Thank you, Lauren. One more life hack from Casey. Hey, Casey. Hi, Casey. Hey, guys. How's it going?

Good, thanks. What's your life hack? So when you're making cookies, don't squish the dough down. They usually spread enough in the oven. What? Yeah. You don't? Wait, are you talking cookie dough?

Absolutely. You just't, wait, are you talking cookie dough? Absolutely. You just roll them up. So you're saying you roll them up and then you put them on the tray and you leave it. Yep. And they just melt down. Yep. But what does this life hack save you? Does it just save you the time of pressing the cookies? Cookies, if you squish them down too much, then they spread when they cook.

So it means they're less likely to actually spread and stick together on the tray. Saves you from having crappy cookies. Yeah, right. Okay, we'll put on the list. There you go. Mate, that's blown my mind. I don't think it's impressed Clint that much,

but that has blown my mind. Because how many times have you sat there with a bloody fork? I just don't know how much time you're losing to pressing them. No, but it's also about the quality of the cookie. Is it? Yes. Okay. Will you make some tomorrow and bring them in?

What's with you telling me to make all these things just so you can test them? Well, do you want to know if Casey's telling the truth or not? I'll take a word from it. She seemed trustworthy. All right. Unless you want to do it. You don't want to eat my cookies, mate. Bree and Clint. Hey.

It's my birthday. It's my birthday. Bree and Clint's Birthday Banger. All right, here we go. Birthday Banger time. We're going to tell these people what was the song that was number one on their 16th birthday. We'll start with Georgina. Hi, Georgina.

And on the 9th of November, your 16th birthday, this was number one. Emily Sunday. Oh, what a tune. She's amazing. Do you like this song, Georgina, for your birthday banger? It's definitely a good one to belt out in the car, I'd have to say. Yeah. It's one of those ones where... It's an emotional banger. Just gives you a bit of inspiration.

Yeah. Okay, wait there. We're going to do a birthday banger for Louise. Hey, Louise. Hi, Louise. Hi. How's your day been? Pretty busy.

How about you? I like an honest answer. Why so busy? Well, we're heading away for the long weekend Well, the Christchurch is long weekend So we're just organising that I couldn't be more jealous What's your birthday, Louise? The 8th of September, 1999

Right, you were 16 in 2015 And on the 8th of September, 1999. Right, you were 16 in 2015. And on the 8th of September in 2015, this had a number one hit. The Biebs. His comeback. Yeah. It was kind of like his first song off that album where it was a very different sound for him. The one he did with Skrillex. Yeah.

Do you like your birthday bang, Louise? Yeah, it's all right. No, you don't like it. No, be honest, Louise. You don't like it. Well, I think it would be just a bit, you know, there's more poppy songs that you could have had at a 16th birthday.

Yeah. Yep, fair enough. Okay, we'll take that feedback on board. And we'll do one more for Delvin. G'day, Delvin. Hi, Delvin. Hi, Brie. Hi, Clint.

How are you? How are you going? I'm good, thank you. That's good to hear. What's your birthday, Delvin? The 6th of October, 1976. All right. You were 16 in 1992.

And on the 6th of October, back in the early 90s, this was top of the charts. Don't tell my heart, my achy, breaky heart. I just don't think it understands. Yes, Delvin. What's your line dancing like? Oh, average. Average.

What's your bull riding like? What's your achy, breaky heart like? Do you like this as your birthday banger, Billy Ray Cyrus? Yeah, it's good. Yeah, it's good. It's a fun birthday banger anyway. Right there, we've got a decision to make Emily Sunday

Justin Bieber or Achy Breaky Heart What's your gut telling you Brie? I don't know We've played that Achy Breaky Heart song before Goes good It does go well We've never had Emily Sunday come up

On birthday banger before That's actually one of my all-time favourite songs. Is it? That one specifically? Yeah, that's probably my favourite Emily Sunday song. What was her big, big song? Next to Me. Yeah, Next to Me.

Next to me. Yeah, I like her version. I do a pretty good job. If you want to hear Emily Sunday, I'll vote for Emily Sunday. People might hate us, but we're in control, so I'm going to go Emily Sandé. Hey, Georgina, you just won birthday banger. Congratulations.

Thank you. You can belt this one out in the car, Georgina. Here we go. We'll leave your microphone up, so just stay on the phone. So we'll listen. Franklin, here's a birthday banger on Zidim. You will have heard by now about the tragedy that went down at the Travis Scott Astroworld show over the weekend.

Yeah, there's more details still coming out slowly about all these other people who are really badly injured still in hospital. A huge crowd surge and eight people died at that festival. One of the main criticisms that's coming out about it is that the show didn't stop. So there's crowd members who are begging for the show to stop and a chant going around in the crowd saying,

stop the show, stop the show. Footage of people coming on stage and they're saying that they're talking to Travis Scott and saying, you've got to stop, and he still carries on the show, stop the show. Footage of people coming on stage and they're saying that they're talking to Travis Scott and saying you've got to stop and he still carries on the show. All of this is to be worked out, but it's thrown up a whole lot of examples of artists during their shows,

because you can see everything from the stage. Well, not everything, but you can see, you would see some things going on in the crowd, right? Yeah. And some audio of artists who have taken it on themselves to go, whoa, whoa, whoa, there's something big happening in the crowd. I have to stop this. It doesn't get any bigger than Adele,

and this is the big clip that's going around. Have a listen to this clip when she saw a woman in the front of one of her concerts. Stop, stop, stop. Someone's fainting again. Excuse exact, well, to be honest, way worse. It was at ANZ and I've seen people talk about this story with her too and I think there's footage of it as well. I was at the concert and it was at ANZ Stadium in Sydney

and she was about to do Skyfall and there's heaps of fireworks in that stadium to a show. Yes. And someone right down kind of near the stage went into cardiac arrest and there was people doing CPR on that person and she didn't see it at first and then she was about to start Skyfall and then she goes, stop, I don't – and she got really upset and she's like,

I don't want to do it because there's fireworks and there's someone that's really not well down here. She's like, I'm not starting until we know that this person is getting the right care. And it was like, wow. But the artist has that power in that moment. Absolutely, they have that power. They can command the whole audience too.

Coldplay have done it. Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop. Wait, turn the lights off, Feasty. What's happening here? Can we help that person, please? Sorry, sorry, sorry. Is everybody okay in here? Let's make a path.

Let's make a path. Is everybody okay here? What's going on? Okay. It's amazing, eh? There's tens of thousands of people there, but they stop everything that's happening to help the one person because you have to do that.

You know what? In that situation. I feel like it's kind of their responsibility as well, you know? And I feel like a lot of artists always take that on as their responsibility. Like, you know, you want your fans to be safe. Yeah. Linkin Park. Here's a clip of Linkin Park stopping one of their shows.

This is back in the 2000s, but similar thing. Hey, yo, hold up, hold up, hold up, hold up, hold up. Hold up. Yo, we got a little problem up here. Pick them up right now. Everybody up. We got to look out for safety first, for real. Nobody gets hurt.

Okay, watch yourselves. They then went on to do this thing with the crowd, and they're like, when somebody falls, what do we do? And they go, pick them up. When somebody falls, what do we do? Pick them up. them up i was like man this is so rock and roll and finally this one's very different but this is dave grohl from the foo fighters who saw a fight going down in the crowd at one of their shows no no no you don't fight at my show you who's who's that right there let me see him who's fighting right now it's that guyhole. Who's that right there? Let me see him. Who's fighting right now?

It's that f**king guy in the striped shirt right there. Hey, mother f**ker, look at you. Hey, look at me. Look at me. Look at me. Get the f**k out of my show right now. Get the f**k out. Can you imagine if you were the striped t-shirt guy?

And then you have to do the walk of shame out through the entire crowd. I'm convinced Dave Grohl is the coolest person on the planet. I think so. Him and Adele, I think. Oh, my God. They should do a concert together. Yeah, right? Can you imagine?

I mentioned before that there is a certain tourist activity that is being banned in a certain place. Have you ever been to the Canary Islands? No. Me neither. Don't even know where they are. Sounds nice, though. But I found out where they are

for this story. They're just off the coast of Spain. Oh, beautiful. I'm going to read you this at the start of this article. Word for word. I feel like it's important from an ecological perspective. Okay. And also if you're planning to go to the Canary Islands after lockdown. Okay. Good to know this. Maybe you're going there on a contiki. Alright. Okay.

Sandy sex acts in the Canary Islands off the coast of Spain have reached a breaking point according to local geomorphologists and coastal dune field ecologists. Too much humping in the sand dunes. What they're saying, it's ruining the sand dunes. Correct. Really? Yeah, the sex

Sorry, I meant to use code words The sex that is going on in the sand dunes Is causing erosion Too much gardening in the sand pit Correct The area of Gran Canaria The team found that sex sports That's what they're calling it,

in places of dense vegetation significantly damage the landforms of native plants and are destroying the sand dunes. So it's not from rubbish people might leave behind. No. It's from the actual act. They're literally humping the sand dunes away. So they've asked people to stop, kindly. I don't know how they're going to police it.

But, yeah. Have you ever... Can't say I have. ...on sand? Can't say I have. No, neither. Because when I look at sand and I think about that... And where it goes and how it behaves.

It's not a good surface. No, I thought so too. No. But, yeah, it has this like weird allure, this romanticism about it. There's a song about it. Cake by the ocean. Cake by the ocean.

Turns out it's not about eating cake by the ocean. Yeah, I want to have sex on the beach, do you? Well, put a towel down because. But see, like even if you put a towel down. Yeah. Sand gets all over my towel when I go to the beach. Good, I was just checking it wasn't you because the same scientists have also studied dunes in Australia where they said similar activity has been reported.

So the Aussies, humping in the sand dunes too. The bloody Aussies. Not us Kiwis though, we respect our dunes. That's so crazy to me. We bloody Aussies. Yeah. Not us Kiwis though, we respect our dunes. That's so crazy to me. We do it in the water. Yeah. Well, better option to be honest. Way better option. Well see, in Australia, you can't

do that. Why? Because there's sharks. Yeah, good point. And that's a threesome that nobody wants. It really is. There's nothing worse than a threesome with a shark. That's what I always say. I agree. I've always said that too.

But there you go. There's some news for you. If you're planning on heading to the Canary Islands off the coast of Spain after this whole lockdown first thing. No, I'm cancelling my trip. Well, no, go. I'm cancelling. Go.

Go. Just don't do any sand dune. What's the point? There's no point now. Don't do any sandy sex antics in any sand dune. What's the point? There's no point now. Don't do any sandy sex antics in the sand dune.
