The ZM Podcast Network.
I am freezing.
I'm freezing my tits off.
I definitely don't have...
I'm going to say it on the podcast.
You ready, Ben?
You're already rolling.
You're already rolling?
Alright, good.
I was waiting for the podcast intro to share this
because I've already shared it with you guys.
But I said to you guys when i was away filming someone there told me a term that i'd never heard
before and i'm obsessed with it it's a good one you know so like you know a thing that people make
up and it's kind of like two words that have been meshed together you know you hear those from time
to time so i said to this person i was was like, oh, I'm sweating so much.
I've just got boob sweat.
And they said to me, oh, do you have humidity?
Humidity.
Humidity.
That is good stuff.
Yeah, that's well done.
I'd like to know if that person invented that too.
Because I asked them, I said, did you invent that?
And she said no, I think.
But I could be wrong.
I'd love to know who did because I'd never heard of that.
Is boob sweat a real issue for you girls?
Girls with big boobs, 100%.
Where?
In between?
In between.
Underneath.
In between and underneath.
On top?
No, not on top.
Around the sides? No. Oh, around the sides. What do you do? Do you lift them up and underneath On top? No not on top Around the sides?
No
Oh around the sides
What do you do?
Do you lift them up and air them out?
The hard part about underneath
Is that usually your t-shirt
Gets caught
And then you get the sweat under boob
Would you get like
To prevent it coming through
Like say you're wearing a light coloured top or something
Yes
Would you get a boob
Lift it
Place a napkin beneath that boob?
People do that.
Pop the napkin, put the boob back down on the napkin.
People 100% do that.
Don't they?
Yeah.
It's a thing.
To avoid humidity.
Women, eh?
I just like that word.
What a mystery.
So good.
Tell me what we're doing here.
Producer Ben, you're running this show.
I was going to bring the stuff with me.
Oh, what's this?
Oh, it's a card and stuff.
So correct me if I'm wrong, Ben.
This turned up when I was away.
There was a package that turned up when I was away.
With my humidity titties out.
Let's read the card.
I'll read the card out.
It says to Brie, Clint, Ben and Anastasia.
Keep the
laughs coming. Thanks, Cam.
P.S. Keep messing
with Clint's sound effects. It's a pisser.
I love this. He's definitely from
Australia. We sent you a koala.
So he says,
Hey team, g'day from Melbourne.
Big
fan of the show and only started listening to you guys late last year.
Oh, welcome, Cam.
I just wanted to send you guys this gift as Brie.
I wanted to take you and the team back to when you were 16 or 17 at Schoolies
as I thought of you guys when I saw this
and to give Ben, Anastasia
and Clint the schoolies experience
so you can't
see it obviously because we're talking about it
but I remember talking about schoolies
and I mentioned
to you guys that the big thing at
schoolies was UDLs
which is the urinary tract infection
that women get right? Yes
it's very common at school
A lot of UDLs going around at school
And thank you for knowing Clint
And me
Just singing them over, Cam
Thank you, Cam
We appreciate that
But now you can get it in a can
They are the, what?
The RTDs
These were so popular when I was really young
Are they not now?
Well, I don't know
I haven't drunk these in 15 years.
Can I see the can?
The can is spasdic.
I was going to say 15 years,
which would mean I would be drinking underage,
which I definitely wasn't.
Yeah, do that math again.
UDL Vodkas, an Aussie classic, it says.
This is a passion fruit flavour.
What does UDL stand for?
I'm going to see.
Great question.
Let's see if it's on the can.
It's got a pregnancy warning.
Oh, my God.
It says on here, since 65.
1965.
Jeez, that is an old RTD.
It is.
It doesn't say anywhere what UDL stands for.
And again, I made the joke before, but UDL sounds so much like UTI.
So it's the United
Distillers Limited.
So that's also why you're
saying from
1960 or whatever.
We get on the United Distillers Limited.
Guys, we've got to put that on the can.
It's classic. We've got to put that on the can.
So we taste testing these.
That's so nice of Cam.
Can I just say, Cam, you would have spent a fortune sending these things over
because they, he sent a whole box.
Well, know that they've been treated with the respect they deserve.
Anastasia has served them to us ice cold.
And he sent me a little koala.
Well, I'm assuming, is this for me?
It might be for me.
Oh, well, it's Whitney's now.
You're going to Australia.
Geo and koala, Ben.
Whoever likes them the most.
Okay, what are we going to try first?
I think we save the passion fruit because that is the classic.
That's the iconic.
Okay, cool.
Classic UDL flavor.
Okay, so what are we having?
This is.
No, this one.
This one?
This one is lemon, lime, and soda.
Okay.
That's this one.
Oh, that tastes like sugar syrup
Ooh
Quite tasty
It tastes like
It kind of tastes like lift
It tastes like lift
It doesn't taste alcoholic at all
They do not taste alcoholic at all
That's not good
You know how cruisers even you can taste the vodka
What is it?
1.2 standard drinks in this can
Holy
They're only 4% They're the same as a beer So the technique they've used Stephen, you can taste the vodka. What is it? 1.2 standard drinks in this can. Holy shit.
They're only 4%.
They're the same as a beer.
So the technique they've used.
Oh, yes.
It's not very high elk.
Not interested.
Not very high elk.
Is that what the Gen Zers are saying?
Anastasia literally consumes her drinks on an alcohol to body weight ratio.
That's so true.
She's like, how fuckoed can I get with as few sexes as possible?
All right, so here's a thing for you.
So the lemon, lime and soda, that can is 154 calories.
The passion fruit one is 168.
Okay, are we ready for a passion fruit?
This is the classic UDL.
So this is what you were on when you were 15.
This is what we used to drink.
Right.
Okay.
When I was, no, definitely 18 and above.
Again, not alcoholic at all.
Tastes like Posido.
That's like fizzy Raro.
Tastes like Mirinda.
Do you guys have Posido?
Yep, that'll do.
Posido?
Must be a Posido.
Just Posido.
Must be a Posido sister. Mirinda. Posido. Desposido. Must be a Posido sister.
Marinda. Posido.
Marinda. People in Aussie will know
what Posido is. So Marinda
is a Pepsi
soft drink? You're talking about Orangina?
You know how Pepsi have Mountain Dew
7-Up? No, he's talking about
Pepsi Fanta. So it's an orange one though? Yeah.
Yeah, so we had Posido.
Same thing Yeah right
Different name
Orangina
Anyway
Back to the UDLs
I can see that going off
With the kids
I can absolutely see that going off
The kids love that stuff
I reckon
They're like cruisers
Not the kids
Not the kids
The young adults
The young adults
Who are you trying to like
Defend yourself from
You know you can't be arrested
For it now
I don't want to be the person
Your mum can't get you in trouble now No I don't want to be the person. Your mum can't get you in trouble now.
No, I don't want to be the person
that single-handedly shuts down schoolies.
These are good.
Oh, there's nothing you could do.
No, I think you're okay.
Of what's been done at schoolies,
if it hasn't been shut down yet.
Guys.
Bree, can we please go next year?
No, we're going this year, Anastasia.
That's what you were thinking of.
That's what I was thinking of.
We are taking the show To schoolies
And we're going to be the oldest toolies there
Wait what does toolie mean
That's when you're
Someone who's too old for school
That's when you're not at school anymore and you still go to schoolies
And it's just weird
We should go
Actually you'll fit in you're young enough
Everyone will be like look at this weird old woman
If any of our international listeners want to send us more
alcohol to sample, we're
totally open to that. We love Belvedere vodka.
Who's taking the box?
I'd love to try some Dom Perignon
once. I'd love
to try some of that
tequila that comes
in the skull. If there's any other good
single malt whiskey brands out there
that need sampling. If anyone's keen to send us some really cheap, shitty vodka.
Yeah, Anastasia's looking to get her drink count up.
You've got these drinks now.
What were the drinks you guys were drinking when you were first?
Cruises and KGBs.
Did you guys ever have cruises?
Yeah, everyone drank cruises.
And Bacardi Breezes?
No.
That wasn't a thing here?
No, KGBs. No one drank Bacardi Breezers? No. That wasn't a thing here? No. KGBs?
No one drank Bacardi Breezers.
I just had $7 bottles of Clean Skin.

I don't know what that is.
That's all the shitty wines.

It's now a special one
I'm coming in
These are the things we're going to miss the most
I'm not ready to talk about it I'm not ready. Well, howdy, pilgrims. These are the things we're going to miss the most.
I'm not ready to talk about it.
I'm not ready to talk about it.
What time is it?
Two, three, two, one.
It is Bree and Clint.
Kia ora, everybody, and welcome to the Bree and Clint show as we prepare for a tropical cyclone to hit.
Oh, is that coming, is it?
Yeah, it's coming, mate.
Yeah.
Look outside.
It's atmospheric out there. It is a little bit, isn't it? Yeah, it's coming, mate. Look outside. It's atmospheric out there.
It is a little bit, isn't it? Isn't it? It's dark and gloomy.
Do you guys remember that
movie with Helen Hunt
and it was
Cyclone? No, Twister.
Twister. Great film.
The one where they tracked the
tornadoes
and they had the thing on the back of the ute
with all the balls inside it.
It got sucked up into it.
But then the balls wouldn't work.
So then they attached like aluminium can wings to it.
And then they just took off into the twister.
Oh, that movie was a 90s icon.
That was a great movie.
I bet if you watched it now, it would look stupid.
You know how those movies...
I'm going to watch it.
Yeah.
I'm going to watch it and see if it's held up.
Have you watched Armageddon recently?
Nah. Do you reckon it's held up. Have you watched Armageddon recently? Nah.
Do you reckon that's held up?
Like, I mean, I watched Jurassic Park recently.
That's held up.
I heard someone saying the other day,
because the whole concept of Armageddon,
they got those guys off the oil drilling rig
to go into outer space to blow up the asteroid.
Yeah.
And someone said, what do you reckon is harder,
training astronauts to drill or training drillers to be astronauts?
Probably the drillers to be astronauts, I'd say.
Why don't they just teach the-
It's intense training.
Why don't they just- yeah, exactly.
Why don't they just teach the astronauts how to drill?
They're like, we're extremely intelligent.
They're like, I think we can manage a drill.
Nah, we need Bruce Willis off a drilling rig.
We need that guy.

Symphony set list track of the
day that you're listening out for to score
yourself a double pass to be at Symphony
in the Bowl this Anzac weekend
is Wilkinson.
When you hear this,
first person through on 0800 dials at M.
Free double pass to Symphony next weekend in New Plymouth.
This song would have definitely played at the Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz wedding.
Do you reckon?
Yeah.
Do you reckon they're doof heads?
They're cool.
Yeah?
They're really cool.
Are they ravers?
100%.
They could afford to have Wilkinson come and perform it live, really.
Yeah, well, they probably did. They probably had Rudimental there.
I mean, what are some other English?
They probably had... They would have had
Jess Glynn there. Ed Sheeran would have played.
Yeah, Adele. Elton John.
Yeah, the Beatles. The Beatles would have
played.
What's that rapper guy's name?
Which one? Smallsy?
No, the one with...
Stormzy.
Oh my God, I can't believe I've forgotten his name.
The British rapper.
Yeah.
With the real strong accent.
The one that nearly punched you that time.
Oh, Dizzy Rascal.
Dizzy Rascal would have been there.
Yeah, definitely.
Yeah, a bit of Dizzy.
Anyway, a lot of famous people were there.
Like, we joke, but a lot of famous people.
At the Brooklyn Beckham wedding.
Yeah, the Williams sisters.
You were telling me today that she's richer than him.
Yeah, her family.
Uber wealthy.
More wealthy than the Beckhams.
Yeah, I believe so.
They had to get a prenup mainly for her family.
Really?
Yeah, hold on.
I read about it.
That's incredible.
That her dad is some big investor
and then her mum is
like a big time model.
Wow. Anyway, uber
rich family.
But I read today, big news today.
They should be marrying regular people like us
to spread that wealth out.
They're both already rich. Why do they
need to pull their inheritance?
Marry one of us normies. Cut us in on the fortune. Just spread it out. They're both already rich. Why do they need to pull their inheritance? Yeah, I know.
Marry one of us normies, you know.
Cut us in on the fortune.
Yeah, but then, I mean, you'd be like,
where do you want to go holiday?
And I'd be like,
oh, I wouldn't mind going to Hamilton for a holiday.
And they'd be like,
I was thinking more Bora Bora.
And I'd be like,
well, I can only afford Hamilton this time.
Was Hamilton the most relatable holiday you could think of?
Wouldn't mind a holiday in Hamilton.
No offense to Hamilton, you would mind.
Well, I wouldn't, to be honest.
You would mind.
I wouldn't mind a holiday anywhere at this point.
I will take anything.
Fair enough.
But I saw this story out today. The big news about this wedding is that he has changed his name to her name.
Love that.
Well, technically, he still has the last name Beckham,
but he's changed his middle name to her last name.
Oh, okay.
So his name is now Brooklyn Pelts Beckham.
Yeah, okay.
But I think they're the Pelts Beckhams.
They're the Pelts Beckhams.
Yeah.
Which is very cool.
Has she whacked Beckham on the end of her name?
It's a great question I don't know
But he's changed it on Instagram
And you know that's official
That's when it's totes official
He's made a post where he's changed it
And said the Peltz Beckhams
Yeah
Which is cute
And he said he did it
Because he wanted to show his commitment to her
Oh yeah
Which is very cool.
It's also just a modern way of looking at things, right?
I love it.
And to be honest, I feel like the rest of the wedding looked quite, you know, old school.
Traditional.
Traditional.
Yeah.
Apart from Wilkinson and Dizzy Rascal.
Yeah, apart from them.
But that's quite, you know, new school way of thinking.
Yeah, totally.
But is it?
Is it a new school way of thinking. Yeah, totally. But is it? Is it a new school way of thinking?
You mean the man taking the woman's name instead of the other way around?
Yeah.
I think it is a new school way of thinking.
I haven't heard of it that much.
I think it's pretty common.
Do you think?
I think it's quite common these days.
Do you think we've got people out there listening who did it?
Or.
It's not a big deal, but it weirdly seems like this
foreign concept, right?
Nah, not to me. I feel like
maybe it's because I've got quite a few friends
who have done it recently, so I'm kind of like,
oh yeah, or they don't
take either last name, but they join
the names into one last name. Or you
come up with a new last name.
Yeah, they join them together. No, a whole new last
name. You go, we want to be, I don't know.
How do you pick that?
You just make it up.
You can do whatever you want.
Okay, you go.
Ready?
You go.
You make up your last name right now.
You ready?
Yeah, sure.
Clint and Lucy Jackson.
Jackson.
So original.
Not the most creative.
I know what you mean.
Well, let's get some calls in.
We can do that.
Yeah.
Did you take her last name?
Did you guys fuse your last names to create a whole new last name?
Or was it a completely made up last name?
0800 dials at M or you can text it into 9696 this afternoon.
Interested to hear your stories.
What was your take?
Bree and Clint.
Brooklyn Beckham has officially taken his new wife's last name
and made it his middle name.
If you got married, what would you want to do?
Probably just cut off all last names and I'd just have one name.
Just go to a Madonna situation?
Yeah, like Cher, Madonna.
Well, that new artist we're playing, Dave.
Dave, you know. So you're just Brie? Just in case my music career takes off. Cher, Madonna. Well, that new artist we're playing, Dave. Dave, you know.
So you're just Brie.
Just in case my music career takes off.
Right, okay.
Yeah.
Good, good to know.
Let's take some calls from people who have not done the traditional things
when it came to last names.
Alana's here.
Hi, Alana.
Hi, Alana.
Hi, nice to talk to you.
Good to talk to you too.
What happened, Alana?
Do you have a story about this?
Yes, it was a friend's wedding at their altar. They had a wheel, like imagine a wheel, a fortune type wheel. Good to talk to you too. What happened, Alana? Do you have a story about this? Yes.
It was a friend's wedding at their altar.
They had a wheel, like imagine a wheel, a fortune type wheel,
with all the different witches on it.
And it was his name, her name, his name, her name, his name, her name.
Really? At the altar, they spun it.
And whoever's last name they landed on was the one they both took.
Oh, I love it.
I'm so invested.
Whose name did it land on?
Hers.
Yeah, good stuff.
I love that idea, except I would like to add in like one wild card.
Like just his, hers, his, hers, his, hers, and then Rumpelstiltskin.
Butt-offs.
Butt-offs.
Alana.
Alana, was he like, when it landed on her name, was he like,
we should spin again?
That was a practice one.
We should spin again. No, I think they were all fully in with whatever it landed on. Oh, was he like, we should spin again? That was a practice. We should spin again.
No, I think they were all fully in with whatever it landed on.
Oh, I love that.
He was stoked.
That's fun.
I love that idea.
That's very cool.
Okay, thank you, Alana.
Let's go to someone who wants to be anonymous.
Hi, Anonymous.
Hi, Anonymous.
Hello.
You guys made up a new last name.
Is that right?
No, my mother and her same-sex civil partner did.
Oh, okay.
A number of years ago before marriage was legal,
and they went for Jamaris because my mother is a Gemini
and her partner was an Aries, so it's Jamaris.
Jamaris.
Oh, Jamaris.
Yeah, like G-E-M-A-R-I-E-S.
So are you a Jamaris?
I am not, no, thankfully.
It's hideous and it still lingers.
Oh, no.
Are you Scorpio?
Is that your last name?
No, I'm a Gemini, but luckily they got together after I was already born.
I already had my name.
You can be a Scorponese depending on who you marry.
Exactly.
Okay, well, there's a different idea.
Thank you for sharing that. Love that. Someone said, my husband and I
tried to merge our last names, which are Turnbull and Gullet,
but all we could come up with was Gullible. So he took my
name. Oh, cute. Yeah. We had a couple of texts from people
who had to come up with a new situation because their partner's last name was
just not good. See, because it's a great opportunity
if you hate your last name.
Totally.
To get rid of it.
Wipe the slate clean.
You know?
Like, great opportunity for that.
Yeah.
You shouldn't force someone to take the last name coming,
you know?
Yeah.
Like, you don't want that name.
You don't want that.
For your kids and stuff.
Because people are cruel.
Kids are brutal,
especially when they figure out what that word means.
Exactly.
Bree and Clint from iHeartRadio.
This is the latest live from LA with Dean McCarthy.
Dean, oops, she did it again.
Britney Spears is pregnant.
I can't.
I can't with you.
She has done it again.
Very excited.
Britney Spears is pregnant.
Now, this is, of course, such great news for all of us because, as you know, and as she shared with the world
when she confessed everything that had happened
during her conservatorship in the courtroom,
as the world listened, that she was not able to get pregnant,
they basically forced her, through different means, to not even be able to do that.
And so now she can and she's engaged and she's got her own money and it's exciting.
So she's, of course, engaged to Sam Asghari, who's a super hot personal trainer slash actor
here in LA.
Nicest guy ever, apparently.
Hottest guy ever.
Does not miss leg day, arm day, chest day or any day.
And they're going to be great.
It's very exciting for everyone, really.
He's only 28.
Did you know that?
Is he?
Yeah.
Brittany's 40.
He's 28.
Wow.
She's a cougs.
Yeah, she really is.
I heard that she said to him quite a few months ago, Dean,
she said, give me one more.
It's going to be a circus in their household, isn't it?
All right, all right, all right.
She's going to get to work, Mitch.
Okay, that is happy news for Britney Spears.
Nobody knows more about Britney Spears than Dean McCarthy, too.
So, you know, you're getting the fresh goss there.
Exactly right.
And that is the latest live out of Los Angeles.
I saw this online where a guy has reached out to the internet for help
because he doesn't really know what to do.
So here's the situation.
He's married.
He's got two kids.
They're both daughters, nine and 11.
Okay.
Anyway,
it doesn't really give you a lot
of backstory how this came about,
but it says that he brought home
a six-month-old puppy. Okay.
Right? Into the home.
He didn't
really get his wife's full
backing to do that
before doing, you know,
the bringing of the puppy home?
He spontaneously brought a dog home.
Well, it doesn't give too much info around that.
But it says...
He brought a non-consented dog into the house.
I think so.
Okay, all right.
Anyway, so the dog has been in the house for a few weeks.
The kids adore the dog.
Of course.
He loves the dog.
But the mum, not so keen on the dog. Of course. He loves the dog, but the mum not so keen on the dog. Yeah. Apparently
he says the dog is house trained, it's crate trained
and is dog friendly, generally responsive
off lead and to command. So pretty much it's trained.
Right. She says that the dog sheds a lot of hair.
Yeah. It can be excitable in the evenings and as a result has scratched the wood floors.
Yeah.
She also said the dog occasionally barks in response to the other dogs across the street barking.
And when she walks the dog, he pulls too excitedly to meet the other dogs.
So she said to him, the dog's got to go.
Right.
And these are her exact words according to him.
It's either me or the dog.
Oh, okay.
That is extreme.
Yeah, that's quite the ultimatum, isn't it?
Because what we can take from this is she clearly does not want a dog.
Not keen on dogs. She does not want a dog. Not keen on dogs. She does not
want a dog. He has brought a dog
into the house without permission
and the kids have, obviously
as soon as the kids see it. The kids love it. He's dad
of the year. They're like, oh my god dad, you got
a dog. Yeah. They instantly fall in love.
They form a bond. Mum
is the bad guy over there who
never wanted the dog. Yeah.
And now if they get rid of the dog, it's her fault.
Oh, that's tricky.
What do you think?
He's now asking, what do I do now?
You know, what do I do?
My daughters love the dog.
I love the dog.
He's in a horrific situation.
Horrific.
Horrific.
Horrific.
Horrific situation.
Because, because on one hand, he gets rid of the dog.
And...
Everyone's miserable.
Everyone except the wife is miserable.
Yeah.
But then she's miserable because they all blame her.
So everybody's miserable.
On the other hand, he gets rid of his wife.
And the reason that has...
And everyone's happy.
No, well, his marriage broke up.
And the kids, the kids are from a broken home then
all because of a dog.
I'm joking.
You know?
Look, I think.
It feels like a lose-lose situation.
Yeah, so let's talk about what should happen now that this has happened.
There's no going back.
It's happened.
What should happen now in this situation?
The only, and she'll hate this,
but the only compromise is the dog stays. They can't get rid of the dog.
Yeah. But he owes her.
Look, this is what I think. Should he have brought the dog home without asking
her and getting her pretty much approval?
Absolutely not. Because it's a joint decision.
Because it's a joint decision. That's what a marriage is.
You need to compromise on everything.
Especially a dog.
But it's happened now.
He's done the wrong thing.
But now the right thing to do, because in my opinion,
all of the things she's saying doesn't really warrant getting rid of the dog.
If she had horrific allergies, then that's a different story. You've got to get rid of the dog. If she had horrific allergies, then that's a different story.
You've got to get rid of the dog.
But much like a dog,
is she not teaching the husband bad habits
by letting this one slide?
Because next time he'll bring home,
I don't know,
like a...
Nah, because...
What's he going to bring home next?
Why did the daughters get punished
for him doing the wrong thing?
Because he did the wrong thing.
That's why they get punished.
No, but why did the girls get punished then? Because he did the wrong thing. Because he did the wrong thing. That's why they get punished. No, but why do the girls get punished then?
Because he did the wrong thing.
No, but they shouldn't get punished
because they didn't do anything wrong.
No, I know.
But if they're looking for someone to blame,
oh God, it's tricky.
I say the dog stays.
I vote the dog stays.
I unfortunately think the dog has to stay as well.
I reckon it has to.
Oh, that's going to put a death in the marriage.
She doesn't have a good enough excuse,
even though he has done the wrong thing.
We want to know your opinions.
Poll the people. 0800 dials at M.
We're going to take a poll next.
Do you think the dog stays or does
it go? How do they resolve this situation?
Maybe you've had this exact
situation in your relationship. What happened?
How did you guys deal with that? You can text us
also on 9696.
Bree and Clint. The ultimatum is there's a dog that's brought into the house. Not everyone How did you guys deal with that? You can text us also on 9696.
The ultimatum is there's a dog that's brought into the house.
Not everyone knows about it.
And now someone says it's me or the dog.
The wife says you either keep the dog or you keep me.
You can't have both.
Looks like the dog is staying.
Well, people are fired up about this.
And, yeah, the wife is getting a lot of hate on the text machine.
He brought the dog home and showed the girls, the daughters,
like, hey, here's your dog. They've had it for a few weeks.
Yeah, without permission.
Without permission.
Without permission.
The whole family fell in love with the dog.
She really doesn't want the dog.
She didn't fall in love with it.
No, she never wanted the dog.
She said it sheds too much hair and it gets too excited at night time.
There's not like, I get he did the wrong thing.
I totally agree because that's not how it works.
You need to have these, like make these decisions together.
But maybe he didn't tell her because he knew she would have said no.
Because it sounds like she would have said no.
But anyway, and now it's bonded with everyone
and she's like, get rid of the dog.
Look, I just don't think ultimatums are the way forward in this situation.
But one's been issued. so how do we resolve it?
How does this situation get sorted?
You can't punish everyone, the girls and the dog, for his mistake.
Wendy, how do we sort this out?
How do they sort out the dog issue?
It's quite simple.
The husband's naughty, so he obviously owes his wife.
But definitely keep the dog,
and the husband has to take the dog to obedience lessons.
Yes, good one, Wendy, and buy her a present.
Yes.
Yeah.
Michael Hill's probably on the way.
Exactly, Wendy.
That's a great way to look at it.
And do you think if she won't settle for that,
then she's being unreasonable?
Is that what it's like?
Slightly, yes, because, I mean,
you know,
animals,
it's great for kids to grow up with animals and learn how to care and...
I totally agree.
It's actually really good for the daughters, and you
can put a lot of the responsibility on them.
Yeah, they say they'll walk the dog,
though they never bloody do. Yeah, but, you know...
We'll pick up its poo. No, you won't.
Well, they don't get Wi-Fi then.
Dion's here. Hi, Dion. Hi, Dion.
Hey, how's it going, guys? What do you think? Does the dog
go or does it stay?
Simple saying. Happy wife, happy
life. Gotta get rid of the dog.
Gotta get rid of the dog.
But what about then if you get the daughters
offside? Honestly,
it's been absolute.
If he was a smart man, he wouldn't have done that
in the first place. He would have got a small dog
that was cute and cuddly first,
like a little chihuahua with something else
green, and then she would have
then got the idea of the dog, and then
he could have gone and got his main dog, because then he
would have been equal inside the relationship.
That's how it works. He's stuffed up from the start,
eh, Dion? He's just played it
completely wrong. Someone's texted in, Brian,
they've said the dog's got to go.
She's going to end up resenting her husband
and the marriage will end up really sour
and finish in a really bitter way after this.
Then maybe it wasn't meant to be.
Well, I'm just saying,
like these conversations,
there needs to be compromise
and I get he's done the wrong thing.
Yeah.
But if it's making people in your family really happy,
I wouldn't want to take that away from them.
But it's making someone in the family really unhappy.
One person to three people, though.
That's all I'm saying.
Craig's here.
Hi, Craig.
Hi, Craig.
G'day.
Hi, Brinkley.
How do we sort this out, Craig?
You sound like a sensible man.
Dog's got to stay.
Yes, Craig!
Well, this happened to me. So a few years ago, 20 years ago, my wife like a sensible man. Dog's got to stay. Yes, Craig! Well, this happened to me.
So a few years ago, 20 years ago, my wife bought a dog home.
I had no interest in dogs whatsoever.
And she basically lied to me and said,
don't worry, the dog's going to go to the pound.
Oh, no.
Well, if you get rid of it, the dog's going to die.
Is that what she said?
No, no.
She was lying.
She wanted to keep the dog.
And I had no interest in dogs and then the next morning the dog looked looked me in the eye and
said please can i stay and i rang my wife up that afternoon i said don't take the dog to the pound
it's got to stay oh craig that's the cutest story ever and now are you a dog person absolutely and
that dog we had that dog for 10 years.
And it was the most fun times.
It was such a nice dog.
Craig, Craig, Craig.
I've got goosebumps, Craig.
Craig, did you just say a dog looked you in the eye and said, please can I stay?
Did you not know they can talk?
They did.
They can.
They can say so much just by looking at you.
Sounds something like, please can I stay?
That's what it sounds like.
Can I just say the number of people who are texting you and going,
this is simple, dog stays, wife goes.
It's quite incredible to me.
People love dogs.
It's quite insane.
They love the dogs.
She's outnumbered.
More than their wives, it sounds like.
She's outnumbered.
That's not how marriage works.
Oh, isn't it?
That's probably why I'm not married.
It's not an election.
Sorry, you've been voted out of this family.
Everyone, we're going to take a vote on this.
If you want to go to the ballot, please write down your vote.
Kia ora, I'm Jane Yee.

Brie, you're a real movie buff.
I do have a lot of time that I spend watching films, yes. And I'm, how do you say, very selective about the movies I watch.
Amateur in terms of the movies you have watched.
You've seen nothing.
I've seen very little.
You've seen so few movies, it actually amazes me.
That's why I thought this would be fun for us to do.
There has been a list published by an international film critic
with 20 years experience reviewing cinema.
He's published a list of the 20 films of the 21st century
that have had the biggest impact on him.
Oh, see, this is going to be hard because people like this
love really niche films.
Well, it's a mix.
Ones that are played at Sundance and stuff.
It's a mix.
But to be a buff, you've got to see a couple of the arty farties,
don't you?
Yeah, I've seen some of the arty farties.
So what we've got here is one film from each of the last 20 years
that he believes has been super impactful.
It's a must-see.
And I thought together we could go through the list
and see how many we've seen.
I'm not going to have seen any.
Play this in the car with us, okay?
And let us know how many of these 20 movies you've seen.
Okay.
The producers are going to keep a tally for us
and we'll see out of us who is the bigger movie buff at the end.
All right.
Okay, from 2002, the movie that you must see is a film called Irreversible,
a French thriller told in reverse.
Have you seen it?
No.
No, neither.
Arty-farty.

What's it about?
The End of the World.
And she gets her boobies out.

Clint, you've seen five.
Brie, you've seen seven.
Oh, wow.
Happy with that.
Both of us.
Abysmal.
Yeah.
Brie and Clint.
Time for a round of the name game.
It's our game where we guess celebrity names as fast as possible.
Robyn's going to take on Bree.
G'day, Robyn.
Hi, Robyn.
Hi, guys.
How are you?
Good.
Did you play that movie thing with us just before,
counting the movies you'd seen?
No, I didn't.
We had some dismal scores coming through.
I think one or two was the highest on the text machine.
Yeah, a lot of people on the text machine are saying that.
I've only seen two of them.
Okay, that's okay. Clean slate. In this game, you're going to go head-to-head with Bree, Yeah, a lot of people on the text machine are saying that. I've only seen two of them.
Okay, that's okay.
Clean slate.
In this game, you're going to go head-to-head with Bree,
yelling out names of famous people who use the name that I give you as part of their name.
Okay?
So, for example, if I said, tell me a famous tiger,
you might yell out woods.
And then, yeah, there you go.
Boom, you get the point.
Got it.
You don't buzz in, you just yell out the name that you think goes out Woods. Yeah, there you go. Boom, you get the point. Got it. You don't buzz in,
you just yell out the name that you think goes with it.
Today, for a bit of fun,
singers are on a bit of a pet focus this afternoon.
These are all names that I would usually associate with dogs.
Okay.
Okay, but I need people.
I need famous people.
So famous dogs aren't going to cut it?
No, famous dogs.
Oh.
Yeah, okay, famous dogs will cut it if you can give me the dog's last name.
Okay, if you give me the dog's full name.
Here we go.
There's 50 KFC chicken dollars on the line.
Who can give me a famous?
Ralph.
Lauren.
Oh.
Good from you, Robin.
Well done.
The fashion designer Ralph Lauren is perfect.
I was going to say Ralph Wiggum.
From The Simpsons. From The Simpsons.
From The Simpsons.
Okay, one to Robin.
Who can give me a famous?
Coco.
Chanel.
Oh, Janet.
Whoa, Robin, that was rapid.
Very good, Robin.
I think you found your category.
It's famous dog names.
Yeah, she's very good.
Okay.
All designers so far, actually.
Yeah.
Okay, you're going to be fast on this one, okay?
Okay.
This one's easy.
Dog name, but someone give me a person who uses this name and their name.
Marley.
Bob. Bob.
Whoa.
Well, I sucked this week.
Robin, you deserve every dollar of those KFC chicken dollars.
Bree has never been down-trout in this game, Robin.
Absolutely.
Pants.
Well done.
Thank you.
I play it all the time, and I was like, I need to get through.
Yeah, you really did, because you were great at it.
Do you beat me every week?
I do, actually.
I see how it is.
She's got to call up for what's the what.
I see.
Yeah, call up.
You might have to meet your match here.
No, no, don't call up.
You might have to finally meet your match.
No, I'm not very good at that one.
Just this one.
Very good.
Well done.
You get the title of Name Game Champion this week and 50 KFC chicken dollars.
Congratulations.
Oh, amazing.
Thanks, guys.
Thanks, Bree.
Bree and Clint.
This woman had a five-year-old cat called Chai.
She loved Chai.
Chai accidentally died when she swallowed a plastic wrapper.
Aw.
She choked to death.
That's horrible.
By eating a wrapper.
Healthy cat, five years old.
The owner of that cat has spent five years
in the equivalent of $36,000 having Chai cloned,
and now she has a Chai kitten.
Jeez.
The new cat's name is not Chai.
The new cat's name is Belle, and it's nearly identical. It's Chai.
But it's Chai. But this new one's called Belle.
They said it's nearly
identical to Chai, the new cat.
You can see it up there. She should have called it Latte.
The deep blue eyes
are the same. The fluffy white coat is the same.
She said the two cats share a couple
of quirks, like
sleeping with their bodies stretched out against
her back while she's asleep. But apart
from that, that's where the similarities end.
It's a different cat. Of course it is.
It doesn't have the same memories as
Chai, doesn't have the same experiences
as Chai. It's a different cat.
So essentially she's paid $36,000
to get a cat that looks
the same as her old cat.
And I don't know if you've seen cats before, but a lot of them look the same.
Yeah, normally a breed will look quite similar within that breed.
But isn't it amazing what grief will make you do, right?
She'll go, I miss that cat so much, I'll spend $36,000 to have it back.
Look, we've talked about this a few times on this show.
And I mean, famously, Barbara Streisand has had her dogs cloned twice.
No, two of her dogs.
Yeah, two of them.
Yeah.
Which I just don't get it.
Like I get the grief and I get obviously wanting that pet back.
Because in reality, when you get an animal you have this like i always think
about this this is so morbid but i always look at my dog whitney and i'm always like i'm not
gonna have you forever no no and that's weirdly part of it yeah yeah it's really sad but it's
something you know going into that because yeah you know if cloning becomes cheaper and more
accessible are you going to be like ah whatever, if I lose this one,
let's get another one?
No.
Like if – I don't think I could even do that knowing
that the personality would be exactly the same.
Right.
I just – I don't think – I think you're meant to go
through that grief.
You're not meant to have them forever.
A hundred percent.
I agree.
You know?
Yeah.
Because, I mean, it's just weird to think that someone would pay all that money
and they're not even the same animal.
But you know who would do this and who it would make sense to do this for?
And it's a shame that the cat died before this technology got perfected.
Grumpy cat.
Grumpy cat.
That was a multi-million dollar cat.
And now they can't get any more memes out of the cat because it's dead.
But if they'd cloned it, they could have had a grumpy cat business for ages.
God, that's morbid, eh?
But see, what you're saying, you don't realise what you're saying.
What am I saying?
Because when you clone the animal, yes, it would look similar.
Yeah.
But it might not necessarily be grumpy, which is the whole shtick of that cat.
I don't think Grumpy Cat was actually grumpy.
I think Grumpy Cat just looked grumpy.
Well, maybe.
We don't know.
Serial engagers this afternoon.
You might have heard the news yesterday that Jennifer Lopez, J-Lo, is engaged to Ben Affleck
again. They'veleck again.
They've got engaged again.
They never married the first time around.
No, he proposed to her over the weekend
with a $7 million green diamond.
And she said, yeah, boy.
Yeah, that rock ain't fooling no one.
No.
She's 52.
He's 49.
They've been engaged to each other once before in 2002
And they didn't get married, you're right
They broke up in 2004
But JLo loves to get engaged
She loves it
It's her hobby
Or people like to propose to her
That's a good point too
It's either or
Well, I don't know how many times she's been proposed to
But I know how many times she's said yes to a proposal.
Right.
Because that's what you need.
There could be more people who propose.
So I'm going to run you through the list, okay?
She got engaged and married in 1997 to a man called Owani Noa.
That lasted for two years.
It was a marriage.
She got married to one of her backup dancers, Chris Judd, in 2001.
Yes.
And that marriage lasted for one year.
Chris Judd.
What did he look like?
I don't know if you'd recognise him.
He's not one of the super famous partners that she's had.
So she got married to him in 2001.
Okay.
And then she got engaged to Ben Affleck in 2002.
Right.
Straight after that marriage.
She got married.
So that's three.
So that's three engagements so far.
She married Mark Antony in 2004.
And she had kids with him.
She had kids with him.
They were together for ages.
Yep.
They lasted until 2011.
She got engaged to A-Rod, the baseball player.
Yes.
In 2017
They were engaged for four years
And broke up in 2021
And now she's engaged to Ben Affleck again
That is a total of six engagements and three weddings
Well, technically the Ben Affleck second time around doesn't count
No, it does because it's different rings
He's used two different rings
Yeah, but same person.
She's got six engagement rings.
Technically, their engagement, you could say,
just never turned into a marriage.
It was just a long engagement.
It's a really long one where she got married to other people in between.
Yeah.
Yeah, right.
That's a different way of looking at it.
Six engagements though.
I mean, it is J-Lo.
You wouldn't get engaged to J-Lo if you could.
Who wouldn't propose to J-Lo?
You'd probably go on one date with J-Lo and be like,
I've proposed to her a few times.
Yeah, right.
I mean, she's never written back.
You wrote down on one thing when you were watching her Super Bowl performance.
Absolutely.
I was like, you are my queen.
I wonder if there's anyone out there this afternoon
who is a serial engager as well.
Not necessarily weddings.
You don't have to have gone through with all of your engagements.
Or a serial proposer.
Serial proposer?
Oh my God,
that's really interesting too.
How many people have you proposed to?
Yeah.
Or do you know someone
who's proposed a lot of times
like Ross from Friends?
Or is your dad
like a serial proposer?
Yeah,
is he proposed to heaps of ladies?
He's just constantly
chucking it out there.
I'd love to hear those stories.
God, it's an expensive hobby.
Anything more than two.
Totally an expensive hobby because you can't reuse them.
Such an expensive hobby.
You can't reuse the ring.
You have to buy a ring every time.
Maybe, you know, at Michael Hill, if you pay for the first two,
you get the third one for free.
Would be a good policy to put in, I think.
So, yeah, let's talk to people who have been engaged
heaps of times
people who have proposed multiple
times
and married as well I mean if you've gone through
with more than three marriages we'd love to hear
from you this afternoon wasn't Elizabeth Taylor
yeah was she married nine times
I think it was nine times
because she's like known for that
yeah yeah totally.
And Taylor Marriages.
Let's have a look.
You know what comes up?
Elizabeth Taylor Marriages list.
Oh, wow.
Okay, yeah.
I think it's nine.
She's an entire article.
Oh, $800 at M.
Let's talk to the serial engagers and proposers this afternoon. Where are you?
Can you beat J-Lo at six?
Or do you know someone?
We're talking serial engagements.
J-Lo's engaged to Ben Affleck again.
Do you reckon it's the real deal, her and Ben Affleck?
I think in Hollywood it's very difficult.
Very difficult.
Like you rarely see, you know, the real deal.
Is difficult the right word?
Like they just don't make it work.
No, I think it is very difficult.
To make a marriage work?
Absolutely.
Why is that?
Because you have all the pressure from around the world,
including every single person commenting on your relationship.
Radio shows doing phone-in segments about it.
You know, relationships are hard enough,
and then you have to have yours in the public eye.
Yeah, well, she's on her sixth engagement,
two of them to Ben Affleck. We want to talk to serial engagers or serial
proposers this afternoon. Have you got a big number in the wedding stakes?
First caller wants to be anonymous. Hi Anonymous. Hi Anonymous.
Hi. Who's the serial engager in your life? My father.
Oh, your dad. He's proposing to people, dishing them out.
Yeah, yeah, he's done five.
Five proposals.
Five proposals.
Yeah, and three marriages out of it.
Oh, so he only followed through on three.
What happened to the other two?
I'm not actually sure.
I was a bit young for the first two, but, yeah, the second two stuck.
So have you been to – how many of your dad's weddings have you been to?
Only he and I have been to all of his weddings.
Oh, okay.
Really?
But you were quite young at a few of them, obviously.
Oh, yeah.
Well, I was, the result of the wedding was the result of me being born for the first time.
Wait, wait.
Did you say you're the only repeat guest at all three weddings?
Yeah, yeah. Because my siblings hadn't been born for the first one.
Oh.
But what about his mates and stuff?
Did he not have the same best man at all three of his weddings?
No, no, no.
The second one was just a courthouse wedding.
Oh, right.
Right, okay.
Yeah, so not even his mum was at that one.
Do you think maybe you're the deciding factor?
Like, you're the constant at all of these weddings.
Are you the reason that they haven't worked out?
Oh, let's hope not.
Let's hope not.
Anonymous, can I ask, when your dad gets asked, you know,
what do you do for a hobby, does he say, oh, propose?
Possibly, yeah.
It's a hobby of mine? He'd have to be bloody good at it
by the fifth time, eh? Well, it sounds
like all of them said
yes, so he's doing something right.
Another anonymous caller. Hi, anonymous.
Hi, anonymous.
Hi. You got a serial engager for us this afternoon?
Yep, me. It's you!
Ah, so your hobby is getting engaged. I like that, Anonymous.
How many times are we talking? I've been engaged three times, married once. God, how hot are
you? Yeah. I'm trying for one. Have you been proposed to every time? Yes. Wow. And which was your favourite?
I got kids out of two of them.
Okay.
No, but I'm talking proposals.
Like you've had three, so you've got to see, you know, an array of stuff.
Out of the proposals, not talking marriages, we're just talking the proposals,
which do you think was your favourite out of the three?
The third one.
Okay.
You have to say that.
Are you still with that person?
No.
Okay.
No, so this is good.
So why was that the best one?
Because he actually got down on one knee and asked me.
Right.
There you go.
And that's what you wanted.
Do you have all the rings still?
No.
No.
Did you pawn some of them off?
Yep, pawned them all.
Really?
You should have melted them all down and made them into like, you know, a necklace.
That said boss bitch or something.
They've all got bad juju.
You've got to get rid of them.
I get that.
Okay, thank you, Anonymous.
Someone said my Nan has been married five times and engaged six.
Man, Nan's a boss.
God, hot nan.
I was going to say nan knows what she wants,
but maybe nan doesn't know what she wants. Yeah.
That's why she keeps shopping around.
Someone said, I'm proposing for the third time this weekend.
All of my engagements have been a year.
I've proposed every single time, and that's from Jess.
Wow, there you go.
What about the one that says,
stepsister that I don't have much to do with has got married
five or six times. I love
that it's five or six. No one's
really sure. You know it's a lot when you're
just giving ballpark. I think it's five or six.
Weddings are
so expensive as well. By the last
one you'd go
KFC, bucket of chicken
and if they come, they come. You know?
Sign me up.
Bree and Clint.
Banger.
Hey.
It's my birthday.
It's my birthday.
Bree and Clint's birthday banger.
Okay, time for a birthday banger where we find out the number one song on your 16th birthday. That's right.
And let's go to our first one, which will be Rebecca.
Hi, Rebecca.
Hi.
Happy birthday, Rebecca. Thank you. Happy birthday. Hi. Happy birthday, Rebecca.
Thank you.
Happy birthday to you.
Happy birthday to you.
Why was she born so beautiful?
Have you had a good day, Bec?
Yeah, it has been good.
Tell us why.
Yeah, what's been good about it?
What's the best gift you've got?
What's the best gift?
I got a ring from my husband.
Wait.
Yeah.
And a new watch.
That's pretty cool.
Wait, go back to the ring.
Yeah.
Is it like a proposal ring?
No, no, no.
It's like a, like, we're already married.
Oh, okay.
Right, right, right, right.
She's in the back.
She's like, just a boring old ring.
Not even a diamond ring.
Got one of those ones, yeah.
Oh, that's nice. That sounds good.
How old are you today? Then we can work out your
birthday banger. I am 30 today.
Okay. Alright, so that means
it would have been 1992
that you were born. So you were 16
in 2008 and here's your birthday
banger.
Colby Calais. Bublet. Total classic. Crinkle my nose, wherever it goes, I always know.
Colby Calais.
Bublet.
Bublet.
Total classic.
Total classic.
Absolute classic from Colby.
Bit of an easy listening classic, really, eh?
This was huge. Absolutely.
And I think it was on SingStar, wasn't it?
Yes, on PlayStation.
It was.
This is real Jack Johnson era surfy beach music, eh?
That's a good one.
Okay, wait there, Beck.
We'll do a birthday banger for...
Taylor.
Hi, Taylor.
Hello, Taylor.
Hello.
How are you, mate?
I'm good.
How are you, mate?
Good, thanks.
What's the best thing that has happened to you today?
Oh, the best thing today?
The best thing.
The best thing.
I've been trying for the last few days to do a birthday banger. Oh, the best thing today. The best thing? The best thing for me, probably. I've been trying for the last few days.
Oh, nice.
Well, we will take that, Taylor.
I hope it's worth it.
Let's hope that you've got a great song,
or else it could be the worst thing that happens today.
What's your birthday?
14th of January, 98.
All right, you were 16 in 2014.
And on the 14th of January in 2014, this was number one.
Oh, no.
Taylor, what do you think of Happy and Pharrell?
Oh, it's all right.
Thank you.
It gives Brie and I PTSD from having worked in radio between 2014 and 2019.
I'm pretty sure this was the only song that radio stations played.
Yeah.
I think it's still on the playlist, actually.
But it's good.
It's good.
You've got to remember it's a classic.
It's an upbeat song.
It's an upbeat song.
It's a good birthday banger, right, Taylor?
Yeah.
Cool.
Thank you.
Oh, she's so gutted about it.
She's waited days for it.
And then it turns out to be that.
You always say you don't choose your birthday, banger.
No, you don't.
It chooses you.
Ben's going to get a good one.
G'day, Ben.
Hello, Ben.
Yeah, how are you guys?
Good, mate, Ben.
How are you?
Fantastic.
Oh, I like that answer, Ben.
Why so good?
Because I'm talking to you guys and I knocked off a little bit early.
Oh, how good, Ben.
How good.
Very good.
All right, we've just got to top it off with the right song.
Come on, Ben.
What's your birthday?
We're going a little bit old school here.
All right.
9th of May, 1981.
All righty.
This is the ones we like.
16 in 1997.
And, Ben, are you ready for it?
Here is your birthday banger.
Oh, Benny boy.
I bet I know you as a 16-year-old boy,
you were like, man, those Hanson chicks are so hot.
I was rocking them at Hanson's here back then.
Oh, yeah, okay.
Can you appreciate a handsome classic, Ben?
I do.
Yeah, I do, too.
It's a classic.
People, you know, they have their opinions about the bop.
Yeah.
No, the song's iconic.
I like it.
I think it needs to win.
I think Ben needs to win.
I think this is the winner of Birthday Banger today.
I've got to go with my boy, Ben.
I'm voting bop with my boy, Ben. I'm voting Mbop.
Well done.
Benny boy, you just won Birthday Banger.
Congratulations.
Have a great evening, guys.
You too.
See you, mate.
See you.
Congratulations to all of our Birthday Banger contestants today.
And a happy birthday to Rebecca.
Here's your Birthday Banger from Hanson on ZM.
It's Mbop. Yes, I made it.
It's toobop.
Look, you might be planning a trip to Australia.
Sorry, I forgot every time I say Australia.
That happens.
Up to a maximum of three times.
Australia.
Now we've got it out of the way.
Now it's out of the way.
Now you can say it as much as you want.
Look, we can travel now.
We can go on trips, holidays.
And I thought if you're like me, I'm planning on going to Australia for the Easter holidays.
And I thought this might be a good heads up for people who are driving
in that country because the fines there and some of the things you can be fined for is crazy.
From what you've told me, the penalties are so much higher
than they are here in New Zealand.
It's drastic.
Yeah.
Like crazy.
It's one of my favourite things about New Zealand,
how lax the road rules are.
How cheap our fines are.
Yeah, it's so cheap.
Prey's just like, fang it.
It's so good.
No, I still abide by the rules, but it is good to have that sleep.
Or park where I want to park.
So let's go through some of the weirder or maybe some of the fines you can get in Australia
and how much they are.
Sure.
So we've all done this before, let's be real.
You see a cop car, maybe a speed camera, and you keep going and then you like to flick
the lights at the next car.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I mean, we've all done that.
I always do that.
I feel like a superhero.
I know.
It feels pretty good, eh?
Because I figure either way you're slowing the traffic down.
You're slowing somebody down.
Yeah.
And that's got to be the end result, right?
You know, we're doing good.
Yeah.
We're doing, you know, good things for people.
That's going to cost you $126.
What, the flashing is?
The flashing.
If you get caught doing that.
I don't even know if it's illegal here to flash.
Okay.
What type of flashing?
Good point.
So that's a $126 fine in Australia, so don't do that or just don't get caught.
The next one, splashing pedestrians.
Oh, where you drive through the puddle?
Is that finable?
It is finable. If they deem that you've done it on purpose,
you can get a $203 fine for doing that.
These fines are so specific.
Like $203.
I know, it's weird, eh?
And just keep in mind, every state has different rules
and different prices.
The next one, speeding up when someone attempts to overtake.
Okay.
Which I hate people who do that.
That's the most annoying type of driver.
So if you get caught doing that in Australia,
you can be slapped with a $374 fine.
Good, I agree with that one.
It's dangerous, dangerous behavior.
What about throwing an apple core out of the window?
This is a real thing?
This one's controversial because I do not like driving around with an apple core in
my car.
It's sending it back to its home.
It's going to just decay out there.
Yeah.
It's going back to the earth.
Yeah, it's fine.
Mother earth.
Yeah.
So that's a findable offence in Australia?
It is.
In Australia, if you get caught doing that, they say it can be unsafe.
If it, you know, hits someone's windscreen.
I mean, you always look.
Sure, yeah, yeah.
$580 fine.
Oh!
We're getting up there now.
You know, I tried to throw a banana skin out of my passenger window the other day onto the berms,
onto the passenger side of the road.
Yeah.
The window was up.
Oh, my God.
I hit the passenger window and splatted it over. That would have made you freak out. Oh, my God. Hit the passenger window and split it over.
That would have made you freak out.
Oh, it was awful, yeah.
What about using your phone at a drive-through?
Oh, okay.
So say you're at a drive-through.
Like a McDonald's or a KFC.
So let's say you've got the pay wave thing on your phone
and you whip your phone out to pay.
That'll cost you $582.
Jesus, okay. phone and you whip your phone out to pay, that'll cost you $582. Jesus.
Okay.
And the last one, tooting your horn and waving farewell to someone out the window.
Is that a finable thing?
That is a finable thing.
Right.
And it'll cost you, it's a combined fine.
So one part is part of your body outside the vehicle, which is a fine, and the other is unnecessary use of a horn,
and it'll cost you together $760.
I reckon I'll stay here.
Do you see why I moved here now?
Bree and Clint.
Bree, have you ever bought a beard from a beard store before,
like you go in and buy the beard?
That's where I always buy my beards, Clint.
You're not a mattress in a box person.
I haven't tried it, but I wouldn't say no.
I don't trust them.
I've been keen to give it a go.
No, I don't trust them.
I don't know.
I've heard a lot of good reviews from people.
But then I also don't like buying clothes online too because they're like,
you can send them back.
I don't want to send them back.
How old are you?
No, I just.
Listen to you.
I don't trust that internet.
I want to try it before I buy it. It says you've got to pay for it up front, but then to send them back. How old are you? No, I just. Listen to you. I don't trust that internet. I want to try it before I buy it.
It says you've got to pay for it up front, but then they send it out.
I don't know about this.
Seems dodgy.
Well, when you go into a store to buy a bed, you know that awkward feeling of lying on
the bed when you're in a store full of people and the bed salesman's standing there going,
so what do you think?
And you have to take your shoes off.
You don't know what you think.
No, you don't know.
Laying on it for five minutes.
No, and you can't get into your sleeping positions.
To really test it out, you and your partner need to go for the spoon.
You need to go for the back-to-back, the front-to-front.
You need to try all the positions out.
The on-top, on-top.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well, there's a New Zealand bed company that are trying to get over that awkward lying on a bed while people are in the store thing by letting you try the beds out before you buy them in the store after hours.
Weird.
Weird, right?
What, so you go to the store and you sleep there?
You go to the store.
So what it is is you go, I want to try your beds out.
And they go, cool.
They issue you with a unique code,
which gives you access to their showroom at whatever time you want.
This is trustworthy.
24 hours a day, I know.
And then you get to go in there when the store is closed
and you just get to try the bed out.
So can you sleep there for the night?
Well, presumably you could, yeah.
Weird.
What if someone else rocks up there and they're like,
oh, no, we're sleeping in here tonight?
You're like, I want to try that one.
And they're like, no.
Okay, well, let's have a sleepover.
Well, yeah, good point.
And then, you know, one thing leads to another.
People throw their watches into a bowl and next minute the person who owns the bedstall walks back, has to do a big clean up.
They're like, you've soiled that one, you're going to have to buy it.
There's mess everywhere.
Well, here's the thing is they would know it was you who caused the mess because your unique code is your unique code, I guess.
But what's going to stop, like, say you go into town you have a big
night and then you're like oh i can't be bothered getting an uber home my car's in town but i'm too
pizzled to drive go and register to try a bit of the on and try a bit after not get a code go and
punch it in oh good have a sleep in the bed store i used to do this at the last radio station i
worked at did you you know our boss at the well not the last radio station but worked at. Did you? You know our boss at the, well, not the last radio station,
but the last, last one when I worked in Brisbane.
And the radio station was right near the valley,
which is where all the nightclubs are.
Oh, okay, yeah.
And our boss used to always encourage people that if you got stuck,
like when you were out.
Sleep at work.
That you could sleep at work.
Oh, dream situation.
And there was this big room called the cubby.
Yeah.
And it just had all bean bags.
Yeah.
So sometimes, I reckon I slept there probably maybe three times.
And it's when I had an early shift the next day.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And I'm not joking.
There was usually a couple of other people.
So back to your question about the bed store.
Did it ever turn into a big watch in the bowl orgy at the radio station?
What happens at the radio station stays at the radio station.
Well, if you're looking to buy a new bed or just for somewhere to sleep tonight in Auckland City.
Or a great location to organise a fun party.
Right.
Check out the Comfy Bed Company.
Maybe you and I should go.
Check some of the beds out.
I am not keen.
That changed the sheets, wouldn't it?
I am not keen.
Bree and Clint.
And that, folks, is the end of the show.
But it's not because we've got one more thing to cover off this afternoon.
Wait a second, Anastasia.
Hide it because we want to talk about this here.
Oh, right.
You said something yesterday on the show that upset me, frankly,
and it hurt me, and mainly because a good friend of mine,
you, hasn't experienced something in life.
Oh, my God.
Am I about to have a...
Yep.
Really?
Yep.
Bring them in.
No, I'm just kidding.
You said on the show yesterday that you have never tried condensed milk.
Oh, yeah, no, I've never had condensed milk.
I didn't really know what it is.
See, and I can tell from your reaction that you haven't because you wouldn't be...
Is that what you make the dip out of with the Maggi onion soup?
It is a sweet thing.
Oh, okay.
It is incredibly sweet.
Anastasia, if you want to bring in
the condensed milk, you better have two spoons. Really? You better have a spoon for me. So
this is condensed milk? So this is condensed milk. What do you use it for? So you use it
for cheesecakes. Okay. Or like baked goods. I mainly use it for cheesecakes or you just
eat it straight out of the can.
Okay, can I eat it out of the can?
Taste?
Oh my God, I can't believe this is the first time you're tasting it.
Get quite a lot, yep.
Big spoon?
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
That's good stuff.
This is my first experience with condensed milk.
Bon appetit, everybody.
Okay, pass it here.
Oh my God.
Have you never had that?
Oh my God. That you never had that? Oh my god.
That tastes like liquid milky bar.
Isn't it amazing?
Sorry, I just had to get the can passed over because I just want to... Why don't people eat this more often?
That's amazing.
I used to just help my mum in the kitchen just so I could eat this out of the can.
Isn't that the best?
They need to give that a better name than condensed milk
because that's delicious.
And condensed milk sounds disgusting.
Wow.
Okay.
Why is it so good?
Am I the last person in the world to experience this?
I can't believe you've never had that.
That looks cheap as too.
Out of 10.
Yeah.
What do you give it?
Oh, that's an 11.
That's like liquid.
Isn't it amazing?
Sugary crack.
I love that. Anyway. Well, that's an 11. That's like liquid. Isn't it amazing? Sugary crack. I love that.
Anyway.
Well, that's my hot tip to everybody listening.
Go and grab some condensed milk on the way home tonight.
This is a gentle reminder that you deserve condensed milk in your life
and don't feel bad about it.
Oh, yum.
Cheat day, am I right?
Absolutely.
See you guys tomorrow.
Bye.
Bye.
Bye.
ZM's Brand Clint. On Insta, Facebook, TikTok, and live weekdays from 3 on ZM. Absolutely. See you guys tomorrow. Bye.
