How are you today? Not bad. What kind of cattle are you running on the beef farm? A bit of speckled park or what? Oh, no. Herefords, but the speckled parks are cute. They are cute, aren't they? That's what my dad runs, so I just was interested.

It sure is, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Okay, perfect. Guys, Ethan, your buzzer is tradie. Amy, your buzzer is lady. Excuse me. First to three correct answers wins 50 bucks cash thanks to KFC. Here we go, guys.

Question number one. Who sung the hit tracks Raw and Hot and Cold? Ah, Luddy. Ooh. Amy started talking first, but I think Ethan actually used his buzzer first. Ethan? Katy Perry. It is Katy Perry.

One to the tradies. Unlucky there, Amy. You might get this one. Yeah, sorry. I started to say my name. Yeah. Don't worry. Everyone does it.

You're in the groove now. Including me, I've done it before. Question number two. Where did New Zealand's next batch of COVID vaccines come from? Is it A, Italy? Yes, Amy. Spain. It is Spain.

Nice work. A lot of people getting quite thirsty over pictures of the Spanish Prime Minister, by the way, since they've come in. Quite a tasty dish. Thanks Spanish prime minister, by the way, since they've come in. Quite a tasty dish. Thanks for the vaccines, daddy. One point apiece. Question number three. What year did the Nintendo 64 gaming console release?

Was that tradie, Ethan? 1964? Nah, that's way too early. Oh, Ethan. I like the commitment to the joke. I like that. I'll finish reading the question. Is it A, 1992, B, 1994, or C, 1996?

Lady. Yes, Ethan. 94. That's incorrect. You get a free guess. Was it 92? It's actually 96. Yeah, released in 1996.

All right, no points for anyone there. Still one apiece. Question number four. Health Minister Chris Hipkins was spotted this week drinking from a spread-your-legs mug. Name a type of hot drink you might make that has... Lady. Ethan?

Coffee. Coffee is correct. Ethan's not even waiting for the end of the questions, but it's kind of working for him. It's an interesting game he's playing. The end of the question was, that has milk in it, and coffee indeed does. Well, some people's coffee.

Two to the tradies, one to the ladies. Amy, you need this one to stop Ethan here. Question number five. Who sings this song? Ethan? Ethan? Oh, hang on, wait. Ethan, are you there?

Yeah, hi. Who is it? Beyonce. It is Beyonce. Oh. Here we go. Ethan, you've taken it out today. Close game, though.

Both of you were right in there. 50 bucks coming your way. Awesome. Cheers, guys. Well done. Have a great weekend, guys. Thank you. Bree and Clint.

Sit in, Bree and Clint. Friday Jams. I reckon Mike Posner is an underrated artist. He hasn't missed. I literally was just thinking that the same, like just listening to that. He doesn't put out a lot of songs, but when he does.

You know I love Mike Posner. Don't do the impression. Okay. Nailed it. You ruined it. I never miss. Literally just it. I never miss. Literally just missed. I never miss.

I have a sibling dilemma, and this is a- Which sibling? No, no, no, not personally. Sounded like you having beef. No, I've found a sibling dilemma that someone's posted about, and you and I both have siblings, so maybe we can try and solve this one for this person. I'll sum it up for you. Someone wrote, my brother is mad at me because of what I'm getting our parents for Christmas.

Oh, interesting. I came into a large amount of money recently. And my brother is upset that I'm buying our parents expensive gifts. Yeah. To give you, They're quite expensive gifts What are they? Not a car A car?

For dad Dad's getting a fishing boat What? And mum is getting a lime green jeep How much money did this person come into? And how? It doesn't say And it doesn't say whether the boat and the car are brand new

But it doesn't really matter, right? It doesn't matter They're an incredible presence. That's not like I'm getting them an expensive coffee machine. They're just... You know, very different. Their justification is that their parents have funded them the whole way through, college, rent, all that sort of thing.

They want to do something nice. They've got the money now so they can do something nice. The brother is upset because he can't afford to do something like that. So the question the one who's giving the boss ass gifts is, how do I give my parents these gifts without

making my brother upset? Well, he already knows now. He knows. So it's not like you can be like, oh, give it to them on the down low and not tell my brother. Yeah. And then they just are like, oh, we got this for ourselves. Yeah.

That's really hard. I see it from both sides. I really do because obviously, you know, you want to get something nice for your parents. They've done heaps for you and you want to treat them. Yeah. Is there any way he can bring Or she can bring their brother into it And make them a part of it That's what I was thinking

If you're really sensitive about your brother's feelings Could you not say that the boat and the car Are from both of you And you're like just chip in He's like I literally have $50 for each of them And you're like that's fine Just chip in And then the brother goes well if you're so rich

Why do you need the $50 Is the brother being unreasonable well, if you're so rich, why do you need the $50? Look, the way- Is the brother being unreasonable? That's what I'm wondering. Yeah, I think so. That's what I mean. I can see it from both sides. The brother who's not giving the boat and the car is being unreasonable.

Yeah, I think he is to a certain extent, but obviously that's how he feels. Because imagine if dad found out that the reason he didn't get a boat was because you had hurt feelings. The way we do it in our family and have done for a long time is me, my brother and my sister, we all decide or like everyone pitches in ideas. Yes. Everyone's always like, everyone throw in ideas. Yes. And then we pick one gift for mum and one gift for dad.

Such a better way to do it. And we all put in more money and get them one really good gift instead of three alright gifts. Yeah. I think that's a great way of operating. And then we all feel like, you know, we've done something good. Do you scale it though? For who has what amount of money at what time? Of course, yeah. Right, okay.

So you go, I can afford to put in this much. I can afford to put in this much. Is that how you do it? Yeah, so everyone's like, how much can everyone afford to put in? And then we all decide together on the price and then we all put the same amount in. Oh, so you all put in the same amount as the person who can put in the least. Is that how you do it?

Oh, okay. So then no one feels, you know, like, you know, less adequate. Yeah, interesting. Okay. That's how we do it. So how would you give your mum and dad a car and a boat without upsetting your other siblings?

Well, lucky enough, I don't have that issue because I don't have enough money. Yeah, these are not problems that we're going to have to face anytime soon. No. I just think it's an interesting one. Sticky situation. Brie and Clint. Big news in the tech world.

Oh, yeah? Because Ray Bans, I mean, not a tech company, have partnered with Facebook to make some sunglasses. Oh, is this like Google Glasses again? Quite similar. Remember Google Glasses? Yeah. And then they abandoned it because they were like, oh my God, perverts can video you.

Didn't Snapchat bring out some? Yeah, Snapchat had them. But the Snapchat ones, it was very obvious that you were wearing Snapchat sunglasses. Yeah, they made it super obvious. Whereas Google Glasses, the idea was that they could work the technology into normal glasses and you wouldn't know someone was using Google Glasses. Right. Kind of what

they've done here, but hear me out for a second. So, they're called Ray-Ban Stories. That's what they're called. Essentially, it's like a luxury brand of sunglasses where they're saying that the idea is to capture moments as they happen without having to reach for your phone.

Got it. In terms of the privacy thing, because that's the first thing I thought of as well. They're pervert sunglasses. Yeah, they look like Ray-Bans. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And they've got little cameras on either side. Yeah.

But they've done really well to get that camera in there. But it's too hidden, right? I think that's the problem. So they've actually talked about the privacy element of it because I was like, this is creepy. So essentially, if you're using the recording feature on the glasses, then two really bright LED lights will both light up on the side of the glasses, then two really bright LED lights will both light up on the side of the glasses.

Kind of like, you know, when you're using your phone and that little green button thing kind of lights up. Like a record light on an old school camera. Or like on your laptop when the camera's on and the light comes on. So that will, they're saying that they've taken steps to hopefully eliminate that. So if the idea is that you don't have to reach for your phone to capture these great moments, how do you start recording?

Yeah, so this is really interesting because I was like, yeah, how does it work? So apparently you can simply say, hey, Facebook, take a photo slash video or like, hey, Facebook, take a video or hey, Facebook, take a photo and it'll just start working. Yeah. Okay. Would you wear them?

I mean, probably not. No. But I feel like- You know what this is? This is just another way that Facebook are trying to get us to use Facebook Stories. We don't want to use it. We don't want to use Facebook Stories.

Yeah, no one's on Facebook Stories. Come on, guys. But I mean mean if you think they're cool uh they're going to be available on september 13th oh wow okay it's like really soon ready for christmas yeah they look exactly like um the snapchat glasses did except they don't have the yellow ring around them you know yeah they look more concealed which is a little bit concerning um And they're going to cost, I think the starting price is like $465. Oh, yeah. Yeah, okay. But I mean.

It's expensive for a pair of Ray-Bans. Can you imagine being out in public and you're walking around and you're like, hey, glasses, start recording. Like no one is going to look at you and go, damn, that's cool. Bree and Clint from iHeartRadio. This is the latest live from LA with Dean McCarthy. Dean, this news popped up on my feed. Actually, someone inboxed me about it and I couldn't be more excited.

Yeah, let me just say this is actually my entire news feed, this story, because everyone I know is so thrilled about this. RuPaul's Drag Race Down Under Season 2 is happening 2022. We're back, baby! Yes, queen, yes! There's never been a more appropriate time to scream yes, queen at your phone or radio, wherever you're listening from. Here's the deal, right?

Same network, same station, new queen, new drama, new wigs, new nails, new all of it it uh so excited as you can tell in my voice uh what's going to be different maybe the prize money i keep hearing rumors that it might be going up this last season if you're a fan of the show you'll know they won thirty thousand dollars nothing to be sneezed at but they do get a hundred grand over here in the usa so will they get more cash this time? Hopefully. And one of my favorite drag queens in the world, Vanity from Sydney. I've just got my fingers crossed. They need Vanity on this show.

Do you know who I'm talking about? Absolutely, I know Vanity. What a queen. Any word on whether they're going to shoot it in New Zealand, Dean? Do we know this is the one that was filmed here in Tamaki Makoto? Do we know if it's coming back to New Zealand? I think it is actually coming back to New Zealand, yes. It was moved to New Zealand.

It was originally going to be shot in Australia. But I think it's actually, from what I can see, it's going to remain in New Zealand. So that would be fab. Yeah, they did such an amazing job filming that show here. And it was all very last minute. Shout out to my mate Hutchie. He built all of the sets and stage and stuff. And it's such an iconic show. to do that with not very much time.

They did such a good job and they deserve it to be back here. Hopefully it's back here in New Zealand and hopefully another Kiwi queen takes the competition out. That would be great. Also, if the money is more this season, no one message Keita Main and tell her. That is the latest with our Hollywood correspondent, Dean McCarthy.

Fueled by Pepsi Max, Max tastes zero sugar. We've got a special COVID-19 message to share. By the way, it's not really that serious. But it was from the 1pm press conference yesterday, so it's an official message from the Prime Minister. One of the journos there asked Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern

and the Director General of Health Ashley Bloomfield whether sexual relations between a patient and a visitor at Auckland Hospital is a high-risk activity given the current alert levels. That's a

full-on question. Isn't it? Now, for context, I don't know if someone has attempted some patient-visitor indoor gardening at Auckland Hospital recently. I don't really feel like we need to know. Just the simple fact that this question was put to the Prime Minister. Was it a part of treatment? Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Was it a conjugal visit? Do you have those in hospital? I don't know. I don't think so. So the question is, is sexual relations between a patient and a visitor to Auckland Hospital a high-risk activity

given the current alert level? Let's start with Dr Ashley Bloomfield. Sexual relations between a patient and a visitor at Auckland Hospital. Would you say that is this a high-risk activity in the current climate? I think it's a high-risk activity, potentially. However, I don't know any of the details

about that interaction. I would say generally, regardless of the COVID status, that kind of thing shouldn't generally be part of visiting hours, I would have thought. The whole time the Prime Minister is smirking at Ashley and then Ashley is smirking at the Prime Minister. I think partly going, what the hell are we dealing with at the moment?

And then also going, ha-ha, sex at a hospital. I'm bloody devastated because my partner works at the hospital. Strap in because this story is pretty unbelievable. It's a story about a guy in Italy. He's a teacher and I believe he has taken a record amount of sick days. Okay.

So let's break it down. So this guy, this was over a period of three years. So if you put it all together, there's about 1,095 days. Not about, there is. 1,095 days in three years. Or what if there's a leap year? Let's not say there is a leap year. Okay, there's not 1,095 days, not about, there is, 1,095 days in three years. Or what if there's a leap year? Let's not say there is a leap year.

Okay, there's not, got it. Anyway, you factor in, you know, that some of the like 312 days of Saturdays and Sundays. Yeah. And then obviously you've got holidays, Christmas Day, New Year's, whatever. Pretty much this guy, so let's just say 1,095 days, obviously weekends and all that. Take that out of account.

He took a total of 769 days off. How many days did he work? Pretty much none. Wow. Pretty much no days. And he kept his job. So this is what the story's about. So pretty much he said and lied for three years that he either was sick or he

was looking after his kids on all these days that he called in sick or couldn't work. Anyway, they just kind of like took him for his word. He had doctor's certificates or so they thought some of the time, but it was only after his very annoyed colleagues were like, this is BS, we're getting to the bottom of it, and they did some investigating. Turns out this guy was actually working a complete other job. He's double dipping. He was working at a complete other company doing different consulting,

the same thing he was meant to be doing, but he was getting the benefits from both. So he was getting money from both jobs. You know why that's genius? Because he wouldn't care if his other job found out and he got fired because he has another job. If you lose your job, it's all good. You're already working in another job.

I agree. It's just pocket money at that stage. Technically, though, he was breaking the law because he was claiming childcare benefits. He was claiming, you know, obviously all this money. Well, yeah, if you want to get technical about it. Anyway, the police are actually looking into it and he could potentially be reprimanded.

Well, okay, I wasn't endorsing his plan, okay? I'm not saying it's a good thing to do. Our sick leave has doubled this year. We've gone from 5 to 10, I think it is, or is it 10 to 20? No, I think it's 5 to 10. It's 5 to 10, I think. It's not 20. Surely it's not 20. Nah, it won't be 20. They don't give us a month of sick leave a year.

No. If they did... That's a fair bit of sick leave. A few long weekends coming up, I think. And New Zealand's pretty lax Well she can't speak for every job But it's fairly lax Like if you tell your boss you're sick He's not going to go Go and get a certificate

Unless it's a real a-hole right Yeah absolutely But I mean people do do it Depends on Well they can Your job's legally allowed To make you get a medical certificate I think Depends probably on your previous history, maybe.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, it depends how many sick days you've pulled. I thought it'd be fun this afternoon, and people can remain anonymous. They can call us on 0800DIALS at M, or you can text us on 9696. What was the excuse that you used to pull a sick day? Yeah, to use a good one, like a creative one,

which you either got away with it and you're like, this is genius, I have to use this again, or it was awful and you got busted for it. That'd be a great story too. Yeah, that'd be good too. And maybe it was a sickness that you faked. What was the sickness? Pretty easy at the moment.

You just say, I've had a COVID test, can't come in for a while. Yeah, I've used the diarrhea one too many times. You don't become immune, though. You can't use it again. Let us know your reasons. We're discussing what excuses you use to pull a sick day. Yeah. Because a guy in Italy has, I'm pretty sure,

got the record with a total of 769 sick days in three years. And he had to do that because he was working a complete other job. But he obviously wanted to reap the benefits from both. He got greedy. He needed to cut his workmates in on it. Because they're the ones who dobbed him in. He should have gone, all right, sweet, I'm on the take here. I'm doing well.

Okay, how much do you guys want to keep quiet? But, I mean, did they really have to dob him in? Surely someone's going, I mean, by the 700th sick day. I'd dob him in because you know what I'd do? I'd go to the boss and I'd go, what if I told you I can save you $50,000 a year? Would you give me a pay rise? The boss is going to go, yeah, hell yeah.

Yeah, I'll give you half of that. Okay, cool. Jeremy's got another job. And that's why he's calling in sick. Anyway, we've asked you guys on 0800DIALS.NM, what's the excuse you've used to get out of work? Jordan's here. Hey, Jordan.

G'day, Jordan. Hiya. This wasn't work, but it was school. I called up for about a month pretending I was with my parents saying that I had a sinus infection. Whoa. Okay. Did your parents know you were doing that?

Not till the end of the month and the school called them. Oh my God. So wait, how did you get away with it? My grandparents were overseas at the time so I had the keys and would sneak around there for the day.

That's brilliant. Wow. Okay. How much trouble were you in when you got found out? Oh, very much so. Jordan, what did you do in your day? Like, what did you do?

On your days off? Yeah. My grandparents had sky. Yeah, nice, Jordan. I would have done the same thing. You're living every kid's dream. What did you do for snacks? Did your mum make you a lunch every day

and you just took that around and ate it at Nan's house? Yeah. Wow, okay. I'm so jealous. You're kind of a genius. Yeah, pretty smart. Don't do it, but he's kind of a genius. Let's talk to, oh, this person wants to remain anonymous. Hello, anonymous female. Hi, anonymous. Hello. What did you do? What do you say to get out of work? I used my children. So I said them with sack

instead of me being sack. When in reality they were actually fine. They weren't sick at all. Yeah, right. About time they started pulling their weight. They've got to be good for something. Yeah, right.

They're at that age where they're not really good for much. Oh yeah, absolutely. You deserve it, the amount you do for them. Exactly. They're at that age where they're not really good for much, so you've got to use something, right? Oh, yeah, absolutely. You deserve it, the amount you do for them. It's kind of a foolproof plan as well, because your boss isn't going to go, they really say,

go get me a medical certificate for your kids, right? Anonymous, if you decide you want to do it again, there's a really good tip on the text machine who's doing the same thing. They said, I always say my son has a vomiting bug and because it's highly contagious. Oh, they don't want you in there. Every time.

Yeah, they don't want you in there. So there you go. You see, I've got like a handful of children and they all range from different ages. So I can kind of get away with it. My youngest is like one and a half. You've planned this perfectly. Oh, you've got all of them.

You've got all the possible sicknesses you could need. Problem is karma will bite you in the ass and your kids will get sick and you'll have to deal with sick kids. I know. But I mean, deal with that when it comes. Last person wants to be anonymous too. Hey, anonymous.

Hi, anonymous. Hey, how's it going? Good, thanks. What was the excuse you used to pull a sickie? Well, I used to work at the meat works. So I would call up and say I was having bowel problems. So since I was handling food, I'd have to get a medical. And I would get a medical for three days off

because you can't go back until you've had 48 hours clearance of your last symptoms. Yeah. Right. So how would you get the medical certificate? Yeah, how would you pass that? Oh, they don't really test you for anything. You just go ask for it.

You just go and say, I've got a sore tummy. Can you please say, can you write it down? Yeah. Yeah, you can. Well, I guess it's more so like you go in there and you say, I've got diarrhoea, and they go prove it, and you're like, all right, come on to the bathroom with me. They go, actually, you can have the certificate.

Don't worry about it. Pretty much, don't worry about it, eh? What do you want me to do, doc? Poo my pants? Nice work, Anonymous. Very good. Yeah, good work. I'm going to try that out.

We're not handling food, but... So interesting. I'm actually feeling something coming on on Monday, to be honest. Do you? Yeah, I just want to get ahead of it now. Keeping up to date with the news just became a little easier. NZ Herald's new podcast, The Front Page,

Bad news only, please. I'm going to fuck. Cool. I'll tell you a horrific story. It's blood, guts, gore. Do you want that? Yeah. Okay, sweet.

Well, I haven't prepped a story like that. So I'm going to give you the good news one. This is quite a cute story, actually. It's from haven't prepped a story like that. So I'm going to give you the good news one. This is quite a cute story actually. It's from Brisbane, Queensland over in Aussie and it's about this grandma who was – she put her house up for sale because recently her husband passed away. They lived in the house for like four decades. They'd raised all their children there.

It was their family home. She really loved this house. Anyway, she puts up the house for market and this is going to sound crazy, but she did not take the highest bidder. Really? So went to auction. There was all these people who were bidding or, you know, putting money in. And it was actually a condition where she was like, I want to know before I sell the house to someone, regardless of the price, what they're going to do to the house after they buy it.

Oh, okay. So apparently – So she didn't want to sell it to like a developer who was going to bowl it and put up apartments. Exactly. Fascinating. So the area she's from, I actually used to live in this suburb and I moved out of this suburb because of like –

it was just crazy. They'd buy a house and then put like six apartments on top of it. Attempting where I live at the moment is crazy. And they were doing it everywhere, right? And it's just not a very nice place to live because you can't park anywhere on the street. It's really loud. Anyway, so she was like, I will sell it to the people that promise

that they're going to raise a family in this house. They're going to live in this house and look after it. And anyway, those two people were a young couple, first time home buyers, and she took way less money because she knew that they were going to live in the house. That is so nice. Isn't that really nice? And it just goes to show that even in a day, like day and age like today, money's not everything always for people, is it? Yeah, well, yeah.

A grandma can probably do that because she's downsizing and that sort of thing. Most people have to buy another house in the same market. Well, that's true. They have to take the highest thing. But you would be devastated if it was your family home. And it would happen all the time if you sold it and then the next day you saw a bulldozer come in

and drive through the house. Like you spent four decades making that place awesome and then someone just demos it. All the memories. Like even if you're not living there, I can imagine this woman, she would love to drive past and just be like. You just want to visit.

Yeah. And be like, there was the house that I literally lived most of my life in. Yeah, nice. It's pretty special, eh? So there you go. There's the moral of the story. If you're looking to buy your first house right now, go find a grandma.

Yeah, so that's me. If anyone out there wants to sell their home at a good price. Brie promises to raise a family. I promise to have many, many children in that house. Brie and Clint. And now it's time for Brie and Clint's most popular segment, Friday Okie. I love Friday Okie.

It's the best. I listen every Friday. I never miss Friday Okie. Thanks, Bree and Clint. You've made my Friday again. Friday Okie. Two talented singers, Bree and myself, spend time with one talented audio producer,

this week, Producer Ben. and we get 15 minutes each to sing our guts out and do the best rendition of a popular song That's correct I hope, you know it's interesting what you just said people who haven't heard this segment are now expecting this to be good

Good, keep the expectations up there It's going to be fantastic this week It's going to be so good. We try and keep it topical when we can, and I thought this week, seeing as we're all changing levels, some of us are in two, some of us are four, some of us want to get down to three, we just want some KFC, we should do a song about

levels, and so we're going to do Nick Jonas. And it's done now. It's in the can. Nothing can be changed. Oh, no. Producer Ben, I can read his face very well, and he looks very nervous this week. Nervous, you reckon? Yeah.

It looks like excitement to me. I'm excited for you guys to hear it. Oh, it's so not genuine. The rules dictate the person who chose the song has to go first. So I'll go first. Here comes my Nick Jonas. At the end of this, when you've heard both, we want you to vote on who did the better levels.

So here we go. Oh. Levels, levels, levels. Get on my elevator. Baby, we're going up. Give me that now and later. I can't get enough. So much to discover. We'll be right back. Couldn't go. Up a floor, up a floor, up a floor. Oh, I know. We can get higher.

There's levels to your love. Yeah, there's levels to your love. Yeah, I know. We can get higher. There's levels to your love. And I keep on climbing up. Roofed up. Okay. Okay, I didn't listen to the final mix before it was exported.

Producer Ben, did you load the right one? Yeah. Did you? He did tell me when I went in to record mine. He goes, it's not going to be hard to level up with Clint this week. Did you mix me correctly? Yeah, I'm pretty sure. He's pretty professional, mate.

Is that what I sound like? Mate, I'm dreading mine now. Dreading it. Oh, okay. You're right. Hey, wait. This is like, this is what I felt like when I did driver's license. Yeah, right. Yeah, your driver's license was bad.

I think that was worse. It was definitely on par, that's for sure. Hey, but is yours worse than worse? There's only one way to find out. I may have changed a few of the lyrics this week. Okay. Just a couple. Just tweaked it.

That's legal. That's fine. Yeah. Here comes Breeze. Look, obviously you can't vote until you've heard both, even if you think you've made your mind up. Oh, my Lord. But here's Breeze Levels.

Levels. Levels. Levels. Levels. Oh, shit. Here comes Delta. Baby, we're going up. Spread my legs now or later, this is getting tough

I can't see my lover, please don't stop me now Bragging at level 2, takeaways they have found Let them go, uncle is trying to get out of form I'ma go where they all couldn't go Scared of the door, the door, the door. Oh, I know we can't get higher. There's no more levels up. Yeah, no more levels up.

And I know we can't get higher. There's no more levels up. So don't keep on climbing up. Just send up. Topical. I mean, it was okay. I think I still have a fighting chance. No! Okay. I feel good.

Five votes is what we want on 0800DIALS.NM and some feedback as well, some constructive criticism because we need to grow from this. Absolutely. That's the only way we will get better. If you want to text through that feedback, you can as well on 9696. You can call it in too with your vote on 0800DIALS.NM right now.

The best feedback will score themselves 50 KFC chicken dollars this afternoon. And we will find a winner for our Friday Okie straight after Toad Your Cat. I feel tired. How are you feeling? Not good. Not good. I'm looking at the text machine.

I don't want to do this. I love the text. To be honest, I'd suggest you both go home and take a long, hard look at yourselves for making us listen to whatever that was. Friday Oki. Friday Oki decision time. I love people's banter on the text machine for Friday Oki.

Very funny, guys. We've just done the very topical Nick Jonas levels. An underrated banger, which I thought would be easier than it was. Very tough. Mine sounded like... Actually, you don't need to hear mine. Nah, we need to hear it.

Mine sounded like this. We can get higher There's levels to your love And I keep on climbing up. Roofed up. And Bree sounded like this. We can't get higher. There's no more levels up.

So don't keep on climbing up, Jacinda. Topical. There is one judging spot still available. I don't know if we need it, but if you want to be the fifth and final judge, you can call 0800-DARLS-N-M right now. Let's start with Amanda. Hi, Amanda. G'day, Amanda.

Hey, how are you guys doing? Not too bad. What are your thoughts this week, mate? Okay, so you both did incredibly well, but I have to give it to Bree this week. She has totally outdone herself, and I think she has a lot of levels. Thank you, Amanda.

She's got a lot of levels. Thank you, Amanda. I appreciate it. Amanda must be a schoolteacher, the way she built herself like that. Oh, I like that. And I feel like I deserve a gold star from Amanda. Let's go to Nathan.

Hello, Nathan. G'day, Nathan. How's it going? How's it going? Good, thank you. What are your thoughts, Nath? I thought you both crushed it, but I'm going to have to go with Clint. You are not.

You are not. No, Nath. Are you all right? Are you all right? Nathan, I will take your vote, but I suggest as soon as you are out of lockdown, you visit audiology or someone like that and get your hearing tested, okay? Thank you.

They're going to give out their answer. Okay. Okay, perfect. Two, one, three. Yes, my girls. You can join my girl group anytime, ladies. That only counts as one vote. Let's go to Megan.

Hi, Megan. G'day, Megs. Hello. How are you guys? Good, Megan. How are you? Oh, not too bad. Are you okay after that? Um, not really. I mean, I was absolutely pissing myself laughing.

But you both sounded like drowned rats. Yeah, I know. I know. I know. At least Breeze was creative, though. Who are you voting for? Well, that's exactly it. Breeze was more creative, wasn't it? So I have to go for Breeze.

Yeah, I understand that. Thank you, my friend. Thank you, Megan. We appreciate it. And finally, Paula, just for numbers, who are you voting for? Joey, guys. Clint, Clint, Clint, Clint, honestly for? Joey, guys. Oh, honestly, great effort, buddy, but Brie takes it hand down

this week. I love you. Just wonderful. There it is, everybody. We can get higher. There's no more levels up, so don't keep on climbing up, Jacinda. To be honest, it was just more a statement that I hope gets all the way to Parliament.

Absolutely. By the way, please level down. Thank you, Paula. We appreciate you. You have a great weekend. Two things right now. Congratulations. Or three things.

It will be great.

It will be. Well, let's check it. It could be an absolute stinker. It was 16 in 2014. And on the 2nd of November in 2014, this was top of the charts. So you got a good one, Rhian. You get 660. Yeah.

Have a great weekend, Chris and Rhiann and Brooke. Here's your Birthday Banger today, everybody, from J-Lo. This is Love Don't Cost a Thing on ZM. Brie and Clint. The winner of birthday banger is JLo and Love Don't Cost a Thing. Great song. What a babe. Love that birthday banger.

I want to read out this text that we got a little while ago, but I feel like it's one of my favourite texts today, so I need to read it out. Yeah. And this is just out of the blue. Someone wrote, have you seen this? No. It's so good. Someone goes, Bree and Clint, I was just getting an MRI on my face for a dislocated jaw.

And for the scan, they put on the radio via the headphones. I had to stay super still for the scan, but here you two were chatting about indoor gardening and I was having to do deep breathing exercises to stop myself from laughing, ruining the scan and having to explain to the technician why I was laughing in the middle of the medical procedure. Thanks for taking my mind off the situation at hand.

You're welcome. I don't know if we helped, though. We might have ruined your MRI. I love that text. It's so good. It's because we played a morale-boosting song today that was indoor gardening themed. Yes.

And just for the record, it was Candy Shop. This one. If you're looking to get in the mood tonight with your partner, if she's in your bubble, obviously, or he. Good grinding tempo, this song. Whoa. That's what he said. Whoa.

Whoa. In the year 1999, a movie was released that changed my life. And yes, I know that makes me sound old, but it did. And you may have watched it since. To me, when it came out, I actually didn't see it for a couple of years until I was old enough to understand it. But that movie that changed my life was The Matrix. It was really kind of one of the first of its kind in that kind of realm.

Yeah. You know, like there was iconic things that they did in that film, like the scene with the slow-mo and the fight scenes and like the CGI and stuff that they used in that movie. And the concept of a simulated reality, you know, that we are all plugged into the Matrix. So I was like, whoa, Buzzy G, I so believe it. Today, the trailer dropped for the fourth Matrix movie.

It's been 22 years since the first movie. It's because they were stuck in a different Matrix. It's because they were stuck in the Matrix. Yeah, you're right. And there's something missing from the Matrix 4 trailer. It's called Matrix Revolutions. I've been through this trailer like five times, and I don't understand. Keanu Reeves is in it.

Neo is in the trailer. You're right. Trinity is in the trailer. Carrie-Anne Moss, same actress, same character. They're both in there. The thing that's not in there, Morpheus. I was going to say, is Morpheus with these little glasses in there? Morpheus or Laurence Fishburne is not in the trailer.

And I'm like, how do you have The Matrix without Morpheus? And I was like, did I miss something? In one of those second or third movies, did they kill Morpheus? Is that the reason that he's not in there? Actually, it's been so long since I've watched those films, I can't remember. He could have died and we forgot. I did some digging. He didn't.

He didn't die in any of the movies. Back in August 2020, when they first talked about doing this movie, Matrix Revolutions, someone asked Lawrence Fishburne in an interview for New York Magazine, they said, are you in the movie? And he said, I haven't been invited. What? Yeah, weird, eh? That's really weird.

It goes deeper than that. In 2005, there was a Matrix video game released It was like a real He wasn't in the video game No he was in the video game but they killed him So in the video game One of the agents No one of the robots kills Morpheus

But there was a video game right You just think there's like a spin off That doesn't count You'd think so No one saw the video game Unless right? You just think that it's like a spin-off. That's a video game. That doesn't count. You'd think so. No one saw the video game. Unless you were playing The Matrix online in 2005, you wouldn't have seen that. But then there is an actor in the trailer

who wears the Morpheus sunglasses. He's also a bald black man, but he's much, much younger. I've got him up on the screen there. He's also offering blue and red pills. Right. Looks very similar, but he's much, much younger. I've got him up on the screen there. He's also offering blue and red pills. Right. Looks very similar, but like a younger version. So there's only two options.

Either this is a younger Morpheus and they've changed the timeline, or they've just replaced Lawrence Fishburne in the new Matrix trailer. Nah, I'm not here for that. If they've replaced it, not here for it. If he's playing a younger version of Morpheus, then that's cool. But you've got to get them both in there then. Yeah, you've got to do young and what

he's like in today's day and age. The third option is that Lawrence Fishburne is in the movie and he just pops up later on. And he's a secret cameo. He might have a small part, yeah. But how do you get Keanu Reeves, Carrie Ann Moss, and not Laurence Fishburne for the next Matrix movie?

Well, that's what they asked about Sex and the City, Clint. She said no, though. She said no. This guy's saying. They wanted her in there. Laurence Fishburne is saying, I said yes. Yeah. Or I would say yes if I was even asked.

It still looks very good. It still looks very exciting. I'm still keen to see it. The fourth Matrix movie. The trailer dropped today. It's called Matrix Resurrections. Sorry, looks very exciting. I'm still keen to see it. The fourth Matrix movie, the trailer dropped today. It's called Matrix Resurrections. Sorry, not Revolutions. When does it come out?

Matrix Resurrections. I don't know the release date, actually. Doesn't say. Must be soon. Can you jog to the end and see if there's a release date on there? If they're hyping it up now, surely. I wonder if it's going to go straight to cinema, if it's going to go cinema or straight to streaming.

Or if you can just plug yourself in via USB and stream the movie on your forehead. That'd be Matrix, wouldn't it? There is no release date for Matrix Resolutions. No, there is. Comes out in December. December 22nd. Just in time for Christmas.

Still a little bit to wait Ladies and gentlemen Welcome to the first ever edition of Blee Blee Blee Blee What do you want to go by?

Blee Blee and Clint's Slide News DMs are you sliding into? No I'm not sliding into any DMs Blee Oh that's the only thing I think of Except my wife's Okay Slide in regularly What's the last thing you my wife's okay slide in regularly what's

the last thing you uh slid into your wife's dms with a nude of you or someone else uh of me scene it's on scene oh she left you on scene yeah i think that's a good thing i think she's too hot to handle it yeah she obviously you know no, was like, woo! Slide news is Playground Base. If you were planning on sliding down the lighthouse slide at Frank Kitts Park in Level 2 in Wellington, I've got bad news for you. Oh, well, that's me. On Wednesday at 10am, it was dismantled By workers after it was deemed Too much fun

I don't know how much more of this shit I can take Right First COVID, now this What's next? The slide which has been there since at least 1995 That's a long time Has been deemed too much fun

Or has broken too many children's legs As the official reason Pardon me? It's broken too many children's legs It's broken kids' legs Yeah, which to me just adds to the fun How has it not been taken down already? Well, let me drill into the data

Because I've done that I don't want to slide Which is a great slide, by the way It's there on the waterfront You would have seen it if you'd been to Homegrown. It's right there. It's huge. It's got a massive drop in it.

Look at that drop. That's a big drop. The only thing drilling anything here is that slide. It's drilling kids into the ground. That's what it's doing. So between 1995 and 2012, four kids broke their leg on the slide. Yeah, that's not good odds. Oh, I don't know.

I mean, a lot of kids would have been down the slide. That's four kids. But one, accident. Two, coincidence. Three, trend. Yeah, per year, I reckon. That's spread over seven years. Close to you.

Okay. Four broken legs over seven years. If you average 100 bums going down that slide a day, four in seven years, not bad. However, we have a break in data from 2012 up to 2021. This year, four kids have broken their legs on the slide. It's getting more dangerous. I like it. More risk.

More risk, less reward. More risk. More risk, the exact same reward. I don't know what it is about 2021, and you've got to factor in the fact that we've been in lockdown a lot of this year as well, and the year's not over, and yet somehow from 95 to 21, we only had four broken legs, and then in 21, we have four broken legs in one year.

It could be that the kids this year are just getting more adventurous. Are the kids getting more adventurous? Are the kids getting more hardcore? Maybe. Or are the kids getting softer?? Are the kids getting more hardcore? Maybe. Or are the kids getting softer? I mean, you know, some kids these days, you ask them, what do you want to do for a job? And they're not like, I want to be a doctor or a lawyer.

They're like, I want to join Nitro Circus. I want to do stunts on TikTok. That's what I want to do. Yeah. So because of that, the lighthouse slide at Frank Hitts Park has been dismantled. Guess you guys will just have to jump off the pier into the ocean instead.
