Hi everyone, we've got to talk about something. Did the Kanye album come out on the weekend? It was meant to come out on the weekend. He's been living in a stadium for a month. Ben, a resident Kanye West expert. Yeah, mate. Did the Kanye album come out? Nah.

Fuck that guy. Honestly. He changed the date again. What's the new date? I just need to find it. It was later in August, like a couple of weeks away. Take it off, Ben. He doesn't deserve the promo.

Take it off. It's August. It's now got the release date of August 13th. Right, that's Friday. But maybe... He's taking the piss, eh? Yeah. Great marketing.

Great marketing. Sorry, but name a good Kanye song that he's done in the past 10 years. Ultra Light Beams? Lots. Wait, wait. Did you just say eh to Ultra Light Beams? It's all right. What about Runaway?

Great song. Tune. What about this? What about Power? What about Fleshing Lights? No, this is older than 10 years. Still a good song though. Yeah, but it doesn't count.

Oh, tune. I like this. Can we play Waves? Do we have Waves? What about Bitch, I'm a Monster? That wasn't his. Yes, it was his. It was Jay-Z's, wasn't it?

No. But it was Jay-Z, him, Nicki Minaj. There was heaps of people on it. Yeah, but he literally made the song. Yeah, but he didn't write all the verses on it. No, but he produced. He made the song. Look, I feel like I'm defending a bad guy here.

Do you know what I hate? I was like, why do you have so much love for Kanye? No, this is the problem. And this is why I'm so mad about it. It's because he's so good, but he's such an effwit as well. Nah, I feel like that's harsh to say that about him. Because he has a mental illness. Does that excuse all Trump supporters?

Look, I'm not saying... Kanye definitely has his problems. But he does have... Oh, no, no, no. I don't have any... Yeah, yeah, true, true, true. And good distinction to make Like

And I would never Criticise him for any of his Mental health issues But I'm just saying Some of the stuff that's happened He came out wearing a mega hat I know And some of the stuff

In the past Like And to be honest I don't Ben take Kanye off I don't understand it As like Very well

Because I Don't have bipolar myself Yeah But I have been friends with people who have that, and it does cause you to do crazy things that you don't have control over. Fair enough. Fair enough. But he is super talented.

Like, I'm not saying he's not super talented. I just think some of the stuff, like, is so far out of the box for me. Yeah. Like living in a stadium for a month. Yeah. Nice. I mean. If nothing else, great marketing stunt. Like, a lot of his music, too, these days, like, in a stadium for a month. Yeah. Nice. I mean. If nothing else, great marketing stunt.

Like a lot of his music too these days, like so far out. Like all that like religious kind of stuff, not my vibe. Yeah, I like it. Oh, that last record was weird. I think that's the record I was talking about. I went to the movie. I went to the movie. Yeah, that was, the movie was weird.

He was like, come to the movie. The last record wasn't it. And he, the whole movie was just him. No, yeah, it was him and a gospel choir just singing for two hours. That's art. I was like, show me Kim. Would have just gone to church. Show me North West. Show me South East. I think Kanye was in that

movie for five seconds. Anyway, album's not out. Keep waiting waiting I guess We don't really play it on the station we're on, do we? Nah, I don't think we will either Oh no, wait, wait, wait You said You said name one good Kanye song

What's that one that he did with Lil Pump? That's what I was going to say before You're such a I love it Yeah, what about that one? I like it I like Fuzz about that one? I like it. I like that. This is alright.

A hard song to clean up. I've heard it too much. It was terrible, that song. It was a hard song. That's what I was trying to say. I liked the film clip. I thought the film clip was quite creative.

And he had Don to change around his knee. Yeah, that was quite creative. I didn't like it. Right, well, we wait. And a little boy waits. I'll listen to Big Shuck in the meantime.

Yeah. What is everyone vibing at the moment that's not on ZM? Does anyone want to drop a musical suggestion? Oh, yes, yes. Of course you do. It'll be some indie hipster shit. No, it's John Mays. What's the, oh, right, okay.

You know I went to the premiere of Wolf of Wall Street and Margot Robbie was there? True story. Did you know who she was at the time? Yeah, well, being Australian, we all knew who she was. Yeah, true. Because obviously it's the same like in New Zealand. Like if a New Zealander does one thing

people expected leo they're like all right she's out now now now where's leo it was pretty bloody cool and then it was also awkward because she sat and watched the film so she sat and stayed and then the scene where she's naked quite a lot oh my god i Oh, my God.

Hump Day. No. Happy Hump Day. Downhill slide to the weekend. Brie's favourite thing is giving days kooky names like happy hump day and fry yay. Are you going to say anything to me, by the way? About? You're not going to comment on? You shaved.

No. You got Botox. Close. You got lip filler. Oh, you've had your lips filled. Close. You, your teeth. Well, close, Ash. I've got filled. Close. Your teeth. Well, close, Ash.

I've got a full face of makeup on. Don't I look nice today? It must be good makeup. I couldn't even tell. Yeah, either that or I'm naturally beautiful. Or you always wear makeup and that's why I can't tell the difference. Yeah, had to film an ad this morning and they did a full face of makeup and then afterwards the lady said to me,

cool, would you like a makeup wipe? And I said, you know what? No, leave it. That's so interesting. My last radio co-host used to like to leave it on as well. Yeah. And you know what? I feel like it's a bit unfair, I think, in the world that us ladies

have to put on the makeup every day. I feel like you guys should step up your game. I think it's a bit unfair that you guys get to put on the makeup every day. You know, some days, most days, I look like a bag of dog crap. So makeup would go a long way on this old face. Guess what? You can wear makeup if you like. It's 2021.

I give you permission. Okay, alright. I'll buy you a starter kit. Can you get me some, what do I need? Concealer? I think all you need, go real. Foundation. Go a moisturiser. Oh yeah, I've got a moisturiser. A foundation. Yeah. A powder. Yeah. And a concealer. And Oh yeah, I've got a moisturiser. A foundation. Yeah. A powder.

Yeah. And a concealer. And some blush. Is that all? Yeah, you'd look good with some blush. Just to get started, that's all. And maybe an eyebrow pencil.

Right, okay. And a highlighter. Highlighter is everything. Jeez, how do you guys afford all this stuff? You're telling me.

Right? Yeah. You know my makeup brush, I was thinking about this this morning, the makeup brush that I was thinking about this this morning. The makeup brush that I'm using. How old is it? People are going to freak out when I say this.

I reckon it's about, I got it when I moved to New Zealand, so it's three and a half years old, and I've never washed it. Ew. Aren't you meant to replace those things every year? No, you meant to wash them. Yeah. I just don't know how. Put it in the dishwasher.

No, that can't be. Put it in the dishwasher. Put it in the dishwasher tonight. That can't be. If it wrecks it, I'll buy you a new one. Put it in the dishwasher. Just give it a go. Deal?

Do it for the people. Deal? Yeah, deal. You know how much makeup brushes are? I've got absolutely no idea. About $130. Right. If the good people at Thin Lizzy are listening,

I'll do one sponsored post for you guys if you give me a free brush to give Bree. I need a powder brush too. My dog ate that. Today on the show, we're going to pay your bills with free ride thanks to Free Guide. This has been fun.

We paid to reshoe a horse yesterday. Oh, yeah, that was cool. If you've got an interesting bill you need paid, there'll be an activator just before 5 o'clock this afternoon. What about a bill to get when people go and get their ears cleaned and they get that little sucky thing in their ears? Yes, ear canal vacuuming. It's like a vacuuming.

Also, thank you. Very appreciate that. And I just want to quickly mention I haven't had any more dreams about you, my friend. I'm sorry. Oh, this is that Larissa. Take the prize off her. Dear old Larissa.

Thanks, girls. You're both awesome. See you, babes. We haven't done this for a while, but it's a space we open up on our show where you're allowed to say something that might go against the grain. Yeah.

Yeah. It's an unpopular opinion. Yeah. And people have them. Most of the time you keep it to yourself because you don't want to be cancelled. Yeah, okay. Yeah, that's a good way to look at it.

Or you don't want to be segregated from the group. Or yeah, you don't want to be kicked out of your friend group. Or you just don't want to have the argument. Yeah. You know? But you know that you've got that opinion deep down inside you. Just be prepared for a bit of backlash once you say it. Exactly.

I'm prepared. I kind of voiced this on Monday when you were away, just within the group. I don't know if people heard. I feel like the producers did hear me. Were they ruffled? They didn't seem impressed. Okay.

They didn't seem like they agreed with me, that's for sure. Right. And it's funny you say ruffled. Kind of relates to my unpopular opinion. Well, you know the rules. And here it is. Unpopular opinion, but grain waves, pretty average. What?

What? Oh, yeah, that's right. Grain waves. Have you been having the right ones? At the end of the day. Wow, you haven't been having those healthy ones, have you? At the end of the day... Wait, you haven't been having those healthy ones, have you? At the end of the day, would I choose chips, the normal

original potato crisps, or grain waves? I'm choosing chips every time. Yeah, but you don't have to choose. They're their own thing. No, but you do have to choose sometimes. No, but they're their own thing. Like if I'm going there to the supermarket... Grain waves! Grain waves. Eh! Grain waves.

They cut the roof of my mouth sometimes too because they're so rough. What are you eating them upside down? There is no upside down on a grainwave. Okay, I'm ruffled. Are you ruffled? Is anyone else ruffled out there? Yeah, pretty ruffled. Yeah.

I'm not super ruffled but slightly ruffled. No, grainwaves, they're ruffled. Mediumly ruffled. They're rippled. They're rippled. Same here. Lunchbox. Yeah, to be honest, you know when people go nuts at a party for grain waves?

Everyone's like, oh, grain waves, I love them. I've always sat back in silence and thought, I don't really think these are that great. Yeah, right. Okay, all right, all right, all right. I'm not saying they're horrible. They're just eh. Yeah, okay.

Eh. I'd rather chips. I got one. Yeah. Yes? And I feel like you, who came who comes from a country who got a lot of medals for this sport it's going to ruffle your feathers a little bit

and it's Olympics based oh here we go I know what it is swimming shouldn't be in the Olympics no swimming shouldn't be in the Olympics no no no didn't you say that the other day you were like take swimming out of the Olympics

no unpopular opinion there's too many opportunities to win medals in swimming so for someone like Michael Phelps to be called the greatest Olympian of all time, he's not. He's the greatest swimmer of all time. But don't count all those medals that he got because he gets to have like 49 races every Olympics. I agree with that.

Oh, right. Okay. Yeah. Like you look at someone like Usain Bolt who won three consecutive Olympics in the same event. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's ridiculous. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's ridiculous. Yeah, yeah.

And Michael Phelps is like, I did fast swimming. Oh, let's not take anything away from the man. No, no, no. Hey, hey, hey, wait a minute. Michael Phelps, it's not his fault he's won that many medals. Unpopular opinion, take Olympics out of the swimming. Sorry, other way around. Michael Phelps is a pretty good bloody Olympian, I'll tell you that.

Anyone want to put one out there? Yeah, I had to think of it quickly but you've just reminded me. Yeah. No, I don't like this but that's okay.

What? Unpopular opinion, they shouldn't have drawers in the Olympics. Like with, oh, you mean like a tie. Like in high jump.

Yeah. I thought you meant somewhere to put your clothes. I was like, come on man. No lockers allowed. They've already got cardboard beds

at the Olympics. Don't take away the drawers. No, that's not an unpopular opinion. Really? I reckon that's, yeah. No, I'm okay with it.

Yeah, I'm okay with it too. There you go. Don't wait four years for a drawer. Yes. Like they've done the exact same time. Yeah.

Like the high jumpers, they jumped exactly the same. Yeah, make them do it again. Go lower. Yeah, yeah. It's a tie. It's a tie. Oh, that's good.

That's really good. Anastasia, have you got an unpopular opinion? Yes, I had an unpopular opinion and you guys told me to go try it. So I went and tried it. Unpopular opinion, Love Island, average.

You didn't try. You watched it for 15 minutes and you talked the whole way through. Yeah, well, I had heaps of questions. And to be honest, we all know the show's average, but we all continue to watch it. No one's pretending it's a good show. Oh, okay. We all know that.

Oh, okay. Oh, $800 a day and we're going to open the phone lines up for some unpopular opinions this afternoon. Yeah, what's yours? What's something you've been holding onto that you just want to get out into the open? Look, it will ruffle some feathers in here, but this is the platform to do it. You're not calling up for us to agree with you, put it that way. No, you can also text it through on 9696 if you're a coward.

No, but I'd probably text it through. Unpopular opinions, sorry about it We're doing them If you've got one, we'd love to hear from you On 0800 dial ZM Or you can text us on 9696 I've come out there, I've finally said it I think Grainwaves

Average Yeah, I just think you've had good Grainwaves Which ones? Okay, here we go Which ones do you think are the best Grain waves I'll tell you if I've had them The sour cream and chives ones Average What

They're the only ones People buy Yeah Very average Well it's not a popular Opinion is it Compared to like As long as you know

That you're wrong That's fine Like kettle chips Yeah yum Yeah ridiculous And then grain waves But again it's not One or the other situation

Grain waves is like A little bit of cardboard That they've like Made a wave in it. It's average. It's your opinion. It's unpopular, but you have it. Let's talk to some people who are willing to come on and bravely state their unpopular opinion.

Hi, Danielle. Hi, Danielle. Hey, guys. How are you? Good. I'm keen to hear this unpopular opinion. How controversial on a scale of 1 to 10 do you think it is? It's pretty up there, brilliant. It's with you think it is? It's pretty up there,

brilliant with food as well, but it's pretty up there, I'd say. Oh, I like this. I'm ready. When you're ready, you say unpopular opinion, but...

Unpopular opinion, but mashed potatoes are literally the worst food ever. What are you talking about? What? Oh, I can chew my own food free.

I don't need somebody to feed it up before me. Are you putting gravy on it? Oh, gravy's great. I'd drink a jug of gravy, but don't put mashed potato in front of me. Are you putting cheese in your mashed potatoes? She's not completely crazy. Apparently, like, everyone says, like, oh, Danielle, your dad makes the best mash, but I could not care less.

It's gross. Wow. That's wild, Danielle. I mean, you've got a point about chewing your own food. I get where you're coming from. What do you get with your KFC quarter pack? I hate KFC too. Oh, no, you're finished.

Sorry. We've got to get on with it. We love you, Danielle, but you're cancelled. See ya. The cold side. All right. Please, hey, call me. That's cool.

No, that's cool. Nah, Danielle. Nah, mate. No, this is a safe space. Not really, but we appreciate you calling through. Thank you. Let's go's cool. Nah, Daniel. Nah, mate. No, this is a safe space. Not really, but we appreciate you calling through. Thank you. Let's go to Philip.

Hi, Philip. Hi, Philip. Hi, how you doing? Good, thanks, Philip. We're ready to hear your unpopular opinion, if you're ready. Yeah, I'm ready. My unpopular opinion is that horse events shouldn't be in the Olympics because, really, it's the horse doing all the work and not the rider. Let me bring in our resident horse expert Anastasia here for a second. Anastasia, Philip would like to say that the horses do all the work at the Olympics. What do you say?

Yeah, there's a bit of truth in that, but there's a lot in the riders too. It's a 50-50 split, I reckon. As someone who has ridden horses very at an amateur level, I will say you need to be a bloody good rider. But you need a bloody good horse too, eh? You need a bloody good horse. And did you see, Philip, even that woman who was set to

win a gold medal, the horse just was like, not feeling it, and threw her off like three times. Yeah. And so she didn't win. Yeah, maybe so she didn't win. Yeah, maybe she just wasn't that good. Shall I take? Thanks, man. Those people that sit at home and they watch it like Olympians and they like, you know, do them a saying,

oh, that was terrible. Oh, shit. Let's go to Tasha. Hi, Tasha. Hi, how's it going? Tasha, I'm ready. I'm keen to hear this unpopular opinion. I heard it's about food as well. Yeah.

My family don't exactly like me for it, but yeah. What's your unpopular opinion? Unpopular opinion? I don't like fish and chips. Really? Yeah. Fish and chips? Again, I'll put this to you. Have you had

good fish and chips? I've tried many fish and chip shops and I just don't like it. Well, I mean, she lives in New Zealand. It's the best of the best. She's probably tried a few good lots of fish and chips. How have you survived to whatever age you are without – Yeah, okay, all right. What is it about it?

Go on. What is it about fish and chips that you don't like? I'm not sure. It's just maybe the texture. I mean, my kids love it, but I've tried, yeah, I've tried it with different sauces. Do you like potatoes? I like kumara.

I don't really like potato. Do you like fish? Not really. Oh, there's your problem. That's not really the dish for really. Oh, there's your problem. It's not really the dish for you. Okay, here's the situation. You're dating someone. You've been dating for about a year.

Are they hot? Yeah, they're hot. Nice. The relationship's good. Yeah. Your partner says to you, oh, my family are booking a holiday. They're paying for everything. You're invited.

Nice. Great. Awesome. Sounds good. Anyway, so you get invited and then the parents turn around of your partner and they say, oh, actually, there's actually not going to be enough bedrooms for you and our child to sleep in different rooms because we don't like people who aren't married sleeping in the same room.

So you can't come now. Awkward. Very awkward. Are we adults in this scenario? Adults. We're adults. Complete adults. Okay, first I'd say,

excuse me, Mr and Mrs, whoever you are. Such and such. Please don't refer to them as a child because I'm dating that person and I don't like them being referenced as a child. Technically, it'll always be their child. Yeah, but don't say it to me because it's weird. You don't say that.

Don't say it to me. You don't say, that's my adult. Hey, that's my adult. I know, I know, I know, I know. Weird to go, I gave birth to that adult. Second of all, you realise that we share a room every night and we kiss and cuddle. I think it's that thing of they're paying for it

it's under their roof. It's not under their roof though it's on holiday. Technically it's under someone else's roof. So you go okay weird flex dad but what if I just come and pay for my own room? Well this is the thing I said

I reckon. Oh is this a real scenario? Real scenario. It's a real scenario not hypothetical. Are you going is this a real scenario? Real scenario It's a real scenario Not hypothetical Are you going through this at the moment? No not me Has this been said to you? Not me Not me

Because if your partner's mum is listening Someone I know Right But the situation Like I think If I was the You know the partner in that situation And my partner had been invited

and then uninvited by my family. I feel like that's pretty rough. I'd say, right, we'd love to still come, but obviously you've invited my partner. We're just going to get our own accommodation. I think it's orky vibes now and I think you just pull out. I don't think it sounds fun anymore. Let's be real.

A family holiday, when is that not going to be a little bit awkward it is like you've been dating someone you've been uninvited there's no way you can make that how do you uninvite someone i feel like that's real talk i would want my partner to take my side i'd want them to come and go hey my parents are being unreasonable here they shouldn't have uninvited you. We won't go. You know what? We won't go. Yeah, see, that's what I think. And it's caused a fight. Now it's the family and the parents versus the partner. And it's awkward.

Yeah, it's awkward. Awkward situation. Yeah. Is it a religious thing? Is it like... I think it is, yeah. I think it's because they don't like people who aren't married sleeping in the same bed.

What if you're offered to get a trundler bed in the room? That's even weirder. What if you promise to get a camp stretcher? As if they're going to sleep on the trundler. What if you promise to top and tail? How bad's a trundle bed on holidays? A trundle bed is never comfortable. You know you're the least favourite child if you end up on the trundle bed.

It's the worst to end up on the trundle. It's because you're the smallest. It's not. It's because you like're the least favourite child if you end up on the trundle bed. It's the worst to end up on the trundle. It's because you're the smallest. It's not. It's because you like me the least. I can feel the springs. My mum used to call it, they rebranded it, they used to call it the party bed. I think that's what they call it in my partner's family too.

The party bed. Yeah, because everyone would sit on it during the day. Lana, you've got the party bed. Not a good time. I thought, so what do you think? I think we're on the same page. I feel like the partner should take. Your side.

Yeah. And say, look, this is unreasonable. We appreciate you inviting and then uninviting us. Yeah. But we're not going to come. We'll sit this one out. We'll sit it out. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Not a big deal. Yeah. I reckon we should ask people, what's it like when you don't get along with your partner's family? Yeah. And what are the reasons why you might not get along with them? Yeah. What's the awkward thing that happened or you found out or they found out or someone said that means that you and your partner's family

don't really see eye to eye? Someone texted through already and they said, my fiance's family are all vegans and I'm a dairy farmer. We try to get along, but it doesn't always go well. I can't think of two more polar opposite groups of people. It's going to be very hard to get along. Yeah, that is a perfect example. Let's get some more on because it'll make people feel better

about their own relationships too. You're not always going to get along with everyone. No, no. It's just what happens. 0800 dial ZM. Do you not get along with your partner's family? You can also text us on 9696. Can keep you anonymous if you need it. That's a touchy subject that we're doing at the moment.

It is. But it's something that people go through, I think, in their lives a lot. It's very real. And because of that, not many people are willing to come on and talk about it. But you should know that we've got a lot of texts on this. And if you're in this situation, you're not alone. No, you're not alone. And people have gone through this multiple times and will continue to

because you don't get along with everyone. No. And people have different opinions and views. And it does make it very hard when you love someone and the relationship with their family isn't great with you and them it makes it very difficult i'm sure it would yeah yeah it would make it would it would load everything up with extra pressure oh it just puts pressure on the relationship doesn't make it you know a very nice um nice space to be in.

We've asked you, why do you not get along with your partner's parents? Someone texted and said, my poor partner's parents are Trump supporters. Right, okay, that would make things... And if you have different views and ideas, that makes it very awkward at dinner. I don't understand anyone who's a vocal Trump supporter

who lives in New Zealand. It's like, what's the point? Like, what change are you going to affect by and you know you're going to alienate people too. You know that by saying that you're going to piss people off. I love this one. Totally different scale. It says my boyfriend's parents hate me.

His dad because I scuffed his $10,000 pool table. His mum simply just doesn't like me because we moved away. Oh, you took her baby away from her. Parents can get quite annoyed at that, can't they? My boyfriend's dad is a dentist and he always stares at my teeth when I'm dining with the family. Now I really hate going over for dinner with them.

You feel like you're being judged by the family dentist. Yeah, that is full on. Let's talk to someone who wants to remain anonymous. Hello, anonymous. Good afternoon. Hi, anonymous. Hi. You don't get along with your partner's family.

So I do get on with them. However, they have refused to sit at our head table at our wedding because we will not let their two children sit there, even though my kids are sitting there and that was an issue. Right, so the issue is, so nice, really nice thing, you've invited your partner's parents, obviously his or her wedding, to come and sit at the main table, which is great, and they want their kids to also sit at the table.

Yeah. How much are they going to dig their heels in? Do you think it'll come to a point where they refuse to attend the wedding? I really hope not, but we will just watch this space. How long have you got until the wedding? Surely not. Another

seven months. And how do you plan on resolving this issue? Because I imagine it's really upsetting you and putting a bit of a cloud over your wedding day. How are you going to sort it out before the wedding? Oh, I mean, ignoring it's just easy enough. Yeah, ignoring is a great idea. It's the Kiwi way.

You know what you do? You just get one giant table for your wedding and every single guest sits on that table. Every table is the head table. Hey, good luck with that, Anonymous. We feel for you. Sorry to hear that, Anonymous. We feel for you. Sorry to hear that, Anonymous. Thank you.

That's hard. It's all hard. Weddings bring up a lot of awkward situations, don't they? Yeah, yeah, absolutely. Every year, this is a thing that's run by the New Zealand Women's Refuge. It's called Safe Night. And the idea is you donate 20 bucks, and that 20 bucks provides

a woman and her children with a safe place to stay. It includes a clean bed, hot meals, security and supportive staff. You buy a safe night for someone who's not in a safe situation to escape. Such an amazing, amazing cause to donate to and so important. And if you look at the numbers of domestic violence in this country, such a good one to donate to and so important. Yes. And if you look at the numbers of domestic violence in this country, such a good one to donate to because so many people are out there that need this. This year, the auctions are running. So you make your donation and when you donate,

you get to enter into – it's not really an auction, I guess. It's like a raffle. So each entry buys you one entry into each of these things. So you pick where you put your 20 bucks. Oh, this is cool. Let me tell you some of the things you can win this year because these are very good. things. So you pick where you put your 20 bucks. Let me tell you some of the things you can win this year because these are very good. And you can tell me for your 20 bucks.

What? Yeah, with the Whittaker's Chocolate Company. That's awesome. You can play mini golf with Ashley Deddy Bloomfield from the Ministry of Health. These are all good so far. I'd be happy with any of these.

What a weird time we live in, eh? With the Director General of Health as a celebrity that you want to go on a mini golf date with. That's pretty much the biggest celebrity in the country. Joanna Lumley from Absolutely Fabulous will record your voicemail message for you. I love her. She'll go, darling, Bree's not here right now.

She's absolutely sozzled. Oh my God, I want that one. I don't know which one I want. They're all so good. Bowden and Hannah Barrett could drop your kids at school for you. That's pretty cool. See, that's pretty cool. All the other kids, they would just be like,

Can you imagine a kid and they can create their own outfit for their Barbie? I know. That's so awesome. And this is the one that –

These are such good – like these are some of the best raffle prizes I've heard of. This is the one that has my wife excited and I think she has put her money down on. You can have Hilary Barry and Jeremy Wells give your house a deep clean. I thought it was going to be something else and I was extra keen. There's a catch on that one though. You're not allowed to be home when they do the deep clean. Yeah. I said to Lucy, I was like, do you really want Jeremy to clean your toilet?

Like, do you want? Yes. Do you? Yeah. You want Jeremy Wells to clean your toilet? Yeah. She said she would pre-clean the toilet if that was the case. Yeah, she wouldn't want to be embarrassed.

actually... I've got a good pick-up line. Do you guys want to hear it? Yeah. Are you Google? Because you've got everything I'm searching for. Not bad. Yeah. That's a 10 out of 10 right there.

Have you heard that before? Because I'd like to drive your car. 8 out of 10? Yeah, 8 is a work. It needs some workshopping. But it needs some workshopping. Google down. This is where you guys are put to the test.

How fast can you Google? And if you're the fastest, you will take out Google Champion. We did have someone sit to Google on an iPad for the first time ever in the game. Unfortunately, we've lost them. So we'll have to go to our backup person today. Let's go live to, when Ben's finished talking to them, Christina. Hi, Christina. Hi.

Christina, you've got the call up. Here we go. Are you ready? Yeah. What are you Googling on? An iPhone. Okay, perfect. We'll all use phones.

We'll be using a phone to Google on to make it fair. The producers, I just need to be able to see producer Ben just to give everyone a fair shot. Do you need me to move? Yeah, just... Which way? Oh, sorry, Ben. Producer Anastasia just always sitting right in front of you.

Just here is fine. Come on, guys. You're wasting time. Okay, here we go. Do you know the rules, Christina? Yeah. I'm going to read out a Google question, and I'm looking for the answer that comes up as the most current answer on Google,

the first answer. If you were the first person to yell that out, you receive a point. If you yell out the wrong thing, you're out of that question. First to three right questions wins. Yeah, we know. Christina said she knows the rules. I know, but what about other people listening? What about other people?

I always forget. Yeah. Thank you for reminding me, Ben. It's not just about you guys. It's about everyone. Here we go. All right, everyone on their phones. Question number one.

What is the world's biggest lake? Looking for the most common answer on Google. Caspian Sea. Caspian Sea. Lake Baikal. Anastasia did say the Caspian Sea. I did say what is the biggest lake, but that is the most common answer that comes up on Google.

She gets that point. I knew that. What? How is the Caspian Sea the biggest lake? I knew you would ask that and I've got the answer. The Caspian Sea is the world's largest inland sea. It is called a sea and not a lake because when the ancient Romans arrived there, they discovered that

the water was salty. Right, okay. I'm not going to argue with Google. Alright, one to producer Anastasia. Question number two. When was the first Mazda made? When was the first Mazda made?

1920. 1920. Oh, Christina, you were so close, but Clint just got in there. 30th of January, 1920. Was it a rotary? In Hiroshima, Japan. Yeah, right. That's when the first Mazda was made.

One to Clint, one to produce Anastasia. Question number three. How many seasons of the block NZ has there been? Five. Six. Nine. Produce Anastasia is on the board again. It is nine.

Are you serious? Did you guess that? Was that a guess? Like, I thought it was the Australian one and I just yelled it just to get a name. Well, that's what came up on Google, so. That's wild. Have they made nine seasons of the block?

Since 2012. I think they have. Wow. That's a lot of houses. The mess does work. That's what came up on Google. That's wild. Have they made nine seasons of The Block? Since 2012. I think they have. Wow. That's a lot of houses. The mess does work. That's a lot. All right, two to Anastasia. Ben on zero.

Christina, come on. This one's your one. I believe in you. And Clint on one. Question number four. What is Doja Cat's real name? Amala Ratna Zendail Delamini. I mean, yep.

I'll just give it to her. Who's going to argue with that? To be honest, I don't know if I can give that point to anyone. Was that not her name? Amala Ratna Zendail Delamini. Known professionally as Doja Cat. I feel like, Anastasia, you just won that one. And you win.

That's it. That's three points. It's good to be back. I mean, congratulations. We're all happy for you. Christina, I feel like you were right there. I feel like you were about to give a few answers, and then Anastasia was just yelling out her answers so loud

we couldn't hear you. I'd like to dedicate this to my friend who ticks me before the game. Hope you lose Google Down. Oh, that is rough. That was excellent. Christina, we appreciate you playing in the 50 KFC chicken dollars. You get them. Of all the rappers slash YouTubers slash boxers, I reckon he's my favourite.

Is he your favourite? Yeah, yeah. What about Logan Paul? He's my least favourite. He's literally the bottom of the list. I thought you were singing his song the other day and you were like, he's dope. No, it was Jake Paul and I was singing it ironically. Wait, you like Jake Paul?

No, not particularly. But you've got to admit that. It's everyday, bro. It's kind of catchy. I thought we talked about singing that song on the show. Yeah, I'm sorry. I'll just cancel myself. You cancel yourself.

Yeah, okay. I want to talk about this article because it's that time of year, Clint, where we need to talk about the top Bogan baby names of the past year. True. It is that time. We've got a custom Bogan baby name sting. Would you like that? No, thanks.

Are you sure? But Ben's put all this work into it. I'd like some ACDC, please, Ben. That's the best we can do for you. Thanks, Ben. Appreciate that. The top Bogan baby names, and these, I will say, are all actual names.

Of kids in Rotorua right now. Yeah. Well, that people have named their kids in the last year. These are real. These are not fake. Let's kick it off with some girl top Bogan baby names that people have called their beautiful baby girls. First one, Mattel.

Oh, like, okay, got it. Like Barbie. No, I think it's Mattel. Like Mattel a car. Got it. Like Barbie. No, I think it's Mattel. Like Mattel, like the toy company. Oh, is it spelt Mattel? Mattel, like the toy company. Oh, I thought it was the beginning of Mattel, a car. Oh, no, no, no.

It's spelt Mattel, like the toy company. Oh, okay. Sweet. Is that Bogan? It's on the list. It's on the list. Okay, sweet. It's on the list.

Another one. Someone has named their baby. That's on this list. Okay, sorry. It's on the list. Um, another one. Uh, someone has named their baby. That's on this list. Obviously, these aren't our opinions. This is just on the list. Uh, summer breeze. Not summer. Summer breeze.

Summer breeze. What's bogan about a summer breeze? Everyone enjoys a summer breeze. One word, summer breeze. Yeah. Um, uh, someone else has named their kid Y with three Ys. Oh, right. W-H-Y-Y-Y. Oh, I thought you just meant Y-Y-Y.

That was their name. Well, this is the confusing part. And why would you name your kid that? Because this conversation is going to happen. Should we not even pronounce Y? It's probably pronounced We. Or We-Yay-yay-yay. Someone has named their kid, I don't know.

This is my favourite one. Someone has named their kid Shallot. Shallot? Shall-ay. Shallot. Shallot. Yeah, like Charlotte, but pronounced shallot. Have they or did they do a typo on the birth certificate?

S-H-A-R-L-E-T. Charlotte. Oh, Charlotte. Charlotte. It's Charlotte just spelt creatively. Okay, yep, all right. I don't even want to read this one out, but apparently it has happened and someone...

Oh, no, I can't read that one out. Well, don't then if you can't, but do if you can. I can't believe someone's actually named their child that. It's after... Okay, let's move on from that one. I can't say that one. Okay, I trust your judgment. If people text through, I'll text it back to you if you want to know.

Okay, all right. It must be bad. Did you pre-read this list? Yeah, I did, and I thought about it and I was like, oh, I can read that and then now that I'm here,

no. What about the boys? Yeah, give me some boys, some bogan boys. Someone named their boy Crash. Yeah, hot. Crash into me, baby. Yeah.

Crazy because their last name was Bandicoot. Yeah. I mean, you know, someone else named their kid Fish. Yeah, good. Which is good. Their brother's name is Rod. Oh, my God. Yeah. I mean, you know, someone else named their kid Fish. Yeah, good. Which is good. Their brother's name is Rod. Oh my God. Yeah. Someone named their kid, this is real. This is what people have actually named their baby boys. Legend. Legend. Legend. Yeah. Someone

else named their baby boy Lynx. Like Africa. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. With two X's though. Oh yeah, Lynx. Two X's. Yeah. And this is also another great one. This person, obviously their two favourite things were Rolex watches. Yeah. And Lexus cars.

Yeah. Because they named their kid Rolexus. Rolexus. It's good. It's good. It's good inspo for you. You're pre-go right now. Where's the Codys, eh?

Where's Cody? Where's Woody? Just, you know, just name your kid Robbo. Yeah. It's a classic name. Where's Commodore? Oh, yeah. Holden.

Brian Clint. Ford. Ford. There'll be some Fords out there. Name your kid Datsun. That's a cool name. Brian Clint. The biggest news in the entertainment world today

is that Ross and Rachel are no longer on a break. Jennifer Aniston and David Schwimmer are rumoured, strongly rumoured, to be dating. I've never wanted a rumour to be real more than this one. Right. It's kind of like the relationship that the world didn't know that it needed, but now realised that it needed but now

realised that it needed. Do you know? I think it was, I think this all has come about because obviously we never knew that they actually had real crushes on each other when filming the show. Yeah, you thought they were just acting. We learnt that during the reunion and then everyone was buzzing

to learn that information and then now I feel like this has happened to people before. You know where it's something where if you don't see someone for a long time and then like you see each other and then if you talk about like the time that you guys had a crush, like, you know, where you liked each other or whatever, it like rekindles. It brings it right back up.

Yeah. So are those feelings real or do you think that you're sort of lusting off old? Like what I'm wondering is do you think they have a real connection that's going to last or are they all caught up in the hype of the friends reunion and it's just a bit of fun or? No, I think they've got a real connection. Right. I feel like they would know each other inside and out.

Like they worked together for 10 years so like intimately yeah i feel like they would really know each other so it's not just like a surface kind of thing yeah let's take some of the romance out of it let's drill into some of the data uh he's 54 yep she is actually how old do you think jennifer um she'd be 50 she'd be 53 she's 52 Okay. They started on Friends together in 1994. So this thing that is apparently happening right now has been 25 years in the making. That's a long time to wait, isn't it? And according to them, they never took it anywhere.

It never went anywhere. They had their pashes on screen, which I mean still counts. I don't believe it. If you like each other and you have to have a pash on screen. Oh, come on. As if they didn't do anything off screen. You reckon they did do something off screen? Yeah, come on.

Really? Yeah. Right. I reckon they did, but they say they didn't, so. What do you think, do you, so you've been wearing 25 years for it. Do you think it can possibly live up to the hype? Like when it actually happens,

you've built it up so much in your mind can it ever be as good as you... You know there's a lot of pressure on that situation. It is a lot of build up but I feel like they're both at that point in their life where I reckon it could work. Really? Yeah.

They've went off. Yeah. They've had their fun. They've both been married. They've done all that kind of stuff. They've went off. Yeah. They've had their fun. They've both been married. Yeah. They've done all that kind of stuff. They've dated lots of people. Oh, okay. And they've come back to each other. Hey, don't slut shame David Schwimmer. Well, they probably have.

They're in their 50s. They've probably dated a few people. Yeah. They know what they want, what they don't want. Yeah. Are you more excited for this than a potential Brad and Jennifer reunion? Absolutely. Really?

Yeah. I think, you know, I really liked Brad Pitt and Jennifer reunion? Absolutely. Really? Yeah, I think, you know, I really liked Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston together, but I feel like that relationship, you know, the sun had set on that relationship. This one never happened. Too much happened. Whereas this is something that had never happened, but they'd always wanted it to happen.

Yeah. Does this mean that Courtney Cox and Matthew Perry need to get together in real life? Is that the other relationship that we're after? I feel like they had their relationships on the screen. Yeah, right, right, right, right, right. I think Courtney's, is Courtney with, is she still with, she's not still with David Arquette. No. No, no, no.

No, no, no. They've been together for a long time though. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, but not anymore. Have you ever had this, obviously not a 25-year wait, but have you ever had this where there was someone in your life, you didn't get together with them at the time, some time passed and eventually you ended up getting together?

Yeah, I was friends with someone for five or six years. Yep. And just friends. Not like this where they said that they had crushes on each other. We were just friends. Just friends. And then one night in a deer at someone's house, people bet us to kiss. Oh, they knew there was some chemistry there.

No, no. I didn't even know where it came from. Otherwise, why would you do it? And then afterwards, we were like, oh, my God, I think we've got feelings for each other. Yeah, right. Yeah. Okay. And then we dated for quite a long time.

Okay. All right. And it was built on a friendship before that. We were friends for like, yeah, five or six years. Okay. A long time. So it does happen. It does happen, yeah.

Let's take some calls this afternoon on how long it took you guys to get together. Like maybe you were- Maybe you were friends for 20 years or 10 years. How long were you friends? Maybe you were friends for a long time and maybe you were in relationships at different points and then eventually you were like, wait a minute,

we're perfect for each other. Maybe you were flatmates at university and one of you was in a relationship and the time just wasn't right and then 15 years later you end up working in the same city as each other and you end up together. Maybe you always wanted to hook up

with your boss but you couldn't because it's your boss and then you quit your job just so you could hit on your boss. Yeah, maybe

that's what it is. I mean, you never know. 0800 dials at M or you can text your story into us on 9696 as well. Yeah. We want to know how long it took

for you guys to get together. But eventually, you got together just like Ross and Rachel from Friends. Brie and Clint. Zedem, Brie and Clint, that's Mimi Webb and Dumb Love. Oh, that song is very fitting and makes me feel the feels. We're talking about situations where it was a long time in between knowing someone or meeting someone that you ended up having a relationship. 25 years after they started pashing on screen on Friends,

Ross and Rachel, Jennifer Aniston and David Schlimmer, are rumoured to actually be dating in real life. God, I hope it's true. Yeah. I really do. Yeah, I do too. I've realised my brother, Aidaniden he's currently in a relationship like this is he yeah well he went to so his current girlfriend kim they went to high school together

so they would have like been in the same grade from grade 8 till grade 12 and they didn't really they knew each other in high school but weren't friends, didn't really talk. Yeah. And then about 10 years later, she slid into his DMs and then they started up a romance. Did she see that Instagram picture that we shared? Did she see it? I reckon a lot of girls slid in the DMs after that picture went up. Could have been. We want to know how long it took for you guys to finally get together.

Maddie's caught up. Hi, Maddie. Hi, Maddie. Hi. Hi, guys. Is it you that had a long time between drinks, so to speak? Yeah, absolutely. Me and my boyfriend, we've only just gotten together last year during COVID,

but we've been best mates since, like, I was 14, so it's been 10 years. Okay, that's a long time. Yeah, I was actually going out with his best friend. Wait a minute, wait a minute time. Yeah. I was actually going out with his best friend. Wait a minute, Maddie. You were dating his best friend? Yeah. And we were all kind of best friends in a way. You were all kind of dating.

Yeah, pretty much. No, I was with his best friend. And so I automatically became best friends with him. And we just always were best friends since then. And then it turned into a relationship. I'm so hung up on the details when did you date the best friend how old were you? So I was like 14 when I was dating the best friend and that lasted for maybe like a couple of years. Yeah okay and then you guys drifted apart? Yeah kind of I mean I'm still kind of friends with my ex, but it's kind of awkward now because now me and my boyfriend are together. Who hit on who last

year during COVID? Who slid into those DMs? We both kind of argue about this in a funny way. It's like, who was the one who kind of asked for it first? Well, you're the one who's called up the radio station, so you get to tell your version, Maddie. Well, I guess I did shave my legs that night. Yes! And that's all we need to know.

Thank you, Maddie. Oh, my God, I love that comment. Hey, Ray, how you going? G'day, Ray. Hey, good, guys. How's it going? Good, thank you. Ray, was it your situation where it took a long time to get together with someone?

Yeah. Yeah, so I'm actually from South Africa. And in primary school, I had this massive crush on this girl. But I never had the balls to actually ask her out. She's just beautiful and probably out of my league at the time. And 21 years later, we made contact again since I've moved to New Zealand. And things was going good. We dated for a good year.

She came over to visit for a month. And I was going to fly over to South Africa to bring her back so we can be together in June just before COVID. Obviously, COVID separated us. So we ended up ending the relationship because we don't know what's going to happen. Yeah. No, wait, that's not the end of the story. Surely that's not the end of the story. Not quite.

So we're basically just talking and waiting for things to open up again. Oh, my God. Wait a minute. Ray, I feel like I've just watched The Notebook. This isn't the end. This isn't the end of the story. We have to get Ray to South Africa. No. I feel like we need to get The Notebook. This isn't the end. This isn't the end of the story. We have to get Ray to South Africa. No, all...

I feel like we need to get Ray to South Africa. Can we... I just need her to come here. That's it. Okay, what's her name? What's her name? Her name is Nadia. Nadia.

Nadia, we're going to organise a spot in MIQ. If the Wiggles can come in, then Nadia can come in for you. How can they deny this true love story? 21 years and then you're separated by COVID, Ray. That's heartbreaking. It was just a random chat, just a hello on Facebook. Yeah, yeah. Facebook friends and it took off.

We started chatting and, you know. No, I got goosebumps off your story, Ray. Ray, have you written her a letter every year? Every day? Every day for a year? We're new age, so we called every day. I mean, it's the modern day notebook. Didn't actually expect you to write her a letter.

Belinda's here too. Hi, Belinda. G'day, Bel. Hi. Hi. Hey, my story blows those completely out the window. Oh, go on then. I'm ready, Bel.

I'm ready. How long did it take for you to finally get together? 34 years. Oh, my God. Okay. What were you it take for you to finally get together? 34 years. Oh, my God. What were you up to, Belle, living the life? So we went out when I was 16 and he was 18, and I was a very, very, very good girl. And so even though we went out for a year,

it was a very chaste relationship. And then I went off. A chaste relationship relationship did you say? She kept him on the hook. It was an over the clothes friendship. Exactly. Okay cool yeah. And then I went overseas supposedly

for six months. He waited for me. I came back four years later with a husband. No! No Melinda! Did you know he was waiting for you? Yeah, but I was a narcissistic teenager. Yeah, right. Okay, fair enough.

Okay, so you came out with a husband four years later. Oh, my God. And he surprisingly was not very happy and didn't really want to have anything to do with me. Well, you were married. He couldn't have anything to do with you. Exactly, exactly were married. He couldn't have anything to do with you. He didn't wait another 30 years for you, did he?

Well... No, no. Belinda, how hot are you? Well, pretty hot. In 2014, I managed to track him down, which was not easy because I didn't know what country he was in. I didn't know, you know, the big clue I had was we both had the same birthday.

So you find him, 2014, you find him, where is he? He is living in Nelson. I was in Christchurch. What? And we started a long-distance relationship. But you know what you were saying, Brie, about, you know, what's it like when you actually finally do it?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Such a big... Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. We need a drumroll. Was it as good as the 35-year build-up? It was spectacular. Yeah! How good.

I mean, that is a lot of foreplay. Bree and Clint. Zid and Bree and Clint. I want the best for you So let me, let me help I know that you're all Zed and Bree and Clint. This is later Saatchi. It's called Down On Your Luck. It's time for Birthday Banger. It's my birthday, it's my birthday

That's what I aim to do with my sexual healing. Don't be throwing your sexual healing. Bloody Matt Chisholm's in the studio. Great New Zealander. Good to see you. Kiwi legend. So good to be here. Now you have to explain

who the hell Matt Chisholm is. Matt Chisholm, that guy off Survivor and bloody Celebrity Treasure Island. And he's been on TV for the past 28 years. 38. Yeah, 38. Sorry, 38 years. I mean, you're an old hat now. Everyone knows who you are.

He's not here to talk about TV, though, because you have made your literary debut and written a book, Matty. Yeah. Yeah, look, I didn't think I'd ever write a book but turns out you can write a book just one syllable words the books called imposter matches them and I feel like what you've just done right there sums up this whole book because I feel like you always undercut yourself and you always like never thought I'd do reality TV boom did it never thought I'd you know write a Boom, did it. Never thought I'd write a book. Boom, did it.

And I feel like you're so bloody talented and you always say that you can't do things, but you end up doing it anyway and I love it. Maybe is that the Kiwi way? A little bit. I think so. Is it the Australian way? Yeah, a little bit. You always think that you're not good enough.

You've written a book on it though. Is it a healthy way? Being an imposter. Yeah, or having imposter syndrome. Because that's essentially what you're talking about, right? Yeah, but for not good enough. You've written a book on it, though. Is it a healthy way? Being an imposter. Yeah, or having imposter syndrome. Because that's essentially what you're talking about, right? Yeah, but for me, it's just... Because you're not an imposter. You are an author and you are a TV host.

But imposter syndrome, and correct me if I'm wrong, is the belief that you're not good enough, right? That's right, yeah. And you're like, why am I here? Why am I getting these opportunities? I feel like if you had been in tv for a couple of years people could say that was a fluke but once you've been in it for how many years have you been doing it now many 15 i think i feel like you know there's maybe maybe you're right at it

when they give you when they give you an apprentice like brie as well then they've got to have some kind of faith in you right the problem with bloody getting their apprentice brie though she turns up and she's there for like two minutes Then starts showing me up Yeah, it's the Obi-Wan Luke Skywalker situation I don't know how you deal with it, Clint Mate, I'm nothing without you I've watched you, I've learnt from the best

And I feel like you're just an all-round stand-up bloke Who supports other people Yeah, thank you, mate. I just know when I started in telly, there were a few people, I don't know why, that weren't that happy about me starting in telly. These stories are in here, aren't they? Yeah, they're in there. Yeah, yeah.

And for whatever reason, I think they thought that I hadn't done my groundwork. Earned your crust. Hadn't earned my crust. I hadn't done the 10 years on the newspapers and five on radio and five on the six o'clock. So they are like, and some of them, a couple of them, one of them in particular made my life hell. And so do I want to do that to people or support people? No, I'd actually like to support people. And I know that's the right thing to say, but that's actually how I feel about it. And how could I be anything other than supportive of you?

Mate, you're a legend. Can I change topic completely? I saw your pubes in the book. Did you see the pubes? Yeah, I saw Full Bush in the book. Did you see Full Bush? I know which, you're on the Great Wall of China, I think. This might be a great reason to go and buy the book

or a reason to never, ever open the book. What you can't see there is my penis, and that's because it was negative 21 degrees that day. I thought it was because they cut the picture off short. I thought it was because you had so much pubes that they weren't able to find the penis. There's a bit of both going on there, actually. There's definitely too much bush and so cold that I had an innie.

I had an innie. It was like my belly button. The book and the pubes are out now. It's called Imposter, and it's by Matt Chisholm. Great to see you, man, and congratulations on becoming a fully published author. Thank you very much. Yeah. Yeah, it'll sink in.

I can't wait to see what you do next. I reckon you're going to go to the moon. That's what I reckon you're going to do. Brie and Clint. Brie, I told you before that I have bombshell Sex and the City news And I wasn't lying I have bombshell Sex and the City news

You say bombshell And this better be good It better not be some half-assed clickbait stuff It's not It's not, okay Either Kim Cattrall's coming back Or they're killing off one of the main characters That's what I'm hoping for When you say bombshell Okay That's what I want I can tell you straight away It's not. It's not, okay? Either Kim Cattrall's coming back or they're killing off one of the main characters.

That's what I'm hoping for. When you say bombshell, that's what I want. I can tell you straight away, you're right. I'm right about one of them. You're right about one of them. Oh, they're killing someone off, aren't they? First of all, did you know that the Sex and the City reboot is not called Sex and the City? It's got a whole new name. The series is called And Just Like That.

Oh, no. So it's the same characters, and I assume they're still in a city, but they... Oh, I'm off it. I'm off that. They've changed the name of it. The new series is called And Just Like That. I don't know if it's for legal reasons, if it's for copyright reasons or what, but... It's not even a good name either that they've changed it to.

Yeah, they should have called it Sex in the... Sex in rural area yeah sex in the stables sex sex in a township uh the bombshell news is this and i hope you're ready for it oh here we go the rumor already given bombshell news the rumor is that they're going to kill kim Cattrall's character. But she's not in it. She's not in it. But they have to explain why she's not in it. Because everybody else is in it except for her. She had cancer in the What's Her Name movie. Did she?

No, she had cancer in one of the seasons of the show. She had breast cancer. Yeah. I'm going to read you this. The cast of And Just Like That, which is the Sex and the City reboot, I hate the name, have been spotted filming a funeral scene, which begs the question, who dies?

Knowing that Samantha will not appear in the new series, many, including sources close to the production, speculate that the funeral is for Samantha. Bombshell. That's so lame because she's not even going to be able to, for Samantha. Bombshell! That's so lame because she's not even going to be able to, like they're just going to have to talk about it? They're going to be like, oh, this happened. Oh, she died.

Yeah. Yeah. Her character's not in that. They'll just be having cocktails one day and they'll go, man, how strange that Samantha died. And then Kerry will go, I know. Anyway. Isn't it?

Yeah, anyway. Anyway. Back to this guy that I've been dating. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So weird. Anyway, they're filming it. It's coming. It's not called Sex and the City.

Oh, well, lucky you told me. I would have been looking on Netflix for weeks for it. Yeah. Oh, no. It's on Neon. I wouldn't find it on Netflix. Probably on TV and on demand. Probably.
