I'm so hungry. Before we go, you guys went on the movie date last night. I didn't come. I was tired. Did anybody eat before the movie? Because I find this, you go to these movies after work, you don't eat, and then you end up inhaling an entire box of popcorn before the movie even starts. She suggested that, yeah.

And Stasia and I had a box and a half each. And then you're so freaking thirsty. What did I say? I said, let's go get food. And everyone was like, no. I said that to you, and we were keen, but no one else was. Because I knew that would happen. And then we just ate two boxes of popcorn.

Popcorn's healthy, though. It's just corn. With doused in lots of butter. Butter is good for you. Yeah, butter's good for you. It's dairy. I freaking love popcorn. I adore popcorn.

They were so good. They were the big boxes too. I ate so much popcorn that my lips went wrinkly. Yes, from the salt and the dehydration. It was bad, but it was so good. Anyone got a popcorn machine? Those were the hype when I was a kid, and we never had one. No, we were poor, so my mum used to make it in a pot on the stove.

That's the best way. And we'd burn it. Just bought the kernels. That's the best way. And we'd burn it. I make it most nights in a pot. Bought the kernels. That's the best way. You make popcorn most nights. You are hipster. Have you never heard Brony call me reading cinemas?

I like the drums and the guitar is pretty good too. Yeah, so it gets two horns up. Is that what you want? A rock review? Cool, I feel awkward. This is a story about jewellery magic. And by that, I mean a story of someone having their jewellery returned to them after a really long time. What's a jewellery?

Jewellery, you know. Is that jewelry? Your jewels. You wear on your rear. It's a hard word to spell and say. It is a hard word to say. Jewelry? Maureen from Auckland has been reunited with a ring that was hers that she had stolen from her house 30 years ago.

That's crazy. It's crazy. Have a listen to this. This is the police, Auckland Police, returning Maureen's ring to her. We are just heading to see a lady. She reported a burglary 30 years ago where a family heirloom ring was stolen.

So we're going to drop off the good news. It was her mother-in-law's ring. She's never stopped looking for it. So just one day she was looking on Trade Me and she located this ring again, which was quite unique. Contacted the buyer and he wanted to do whatever he could

to get this ring back to this lady. In the end, she decided to report it to see what we could do about it. So to be able to then give it back, it was a pretty special day. So we went on Trade Me, found his address,

we arrested him and we threw that mother effer in jail. I mean, a pretty long wait. Like if that was an Uber Eats driver, it was 30 years, like they wouldn't be getting a tip from me. It's a long wait for justice. I mean, it's a long wait.

The person who listed it on Trade Me turns out had bought it from a store in Dunedin. So the person who stole it... That's what they want you to believe. That's what they want you to believe, yeah. But Maureen's got pictures of her mother-in-law wearing it at her husband's 21st 50 years ago, this ring. Wow.

So she's like, this is the ring. I can clearly show you it's the ring. And you would just never. Why, is it really unusual looking or something? Yeah, it's another word I can't say. Amethystist. An amethyst. Amethyst.

An amethyst. Amethyst. Yeah, there you go. Amethyst. No, it's not an amethystystist? An amethyst. Amethyst? An amethyst. Amethyst. Yeah, there you go. Amethyst. No, it's not an amethyst. It's an amethyst. Amethystist. Not an amethyst. It's quite distinctive. Yeah, purple. An amethyst is purple. There was no doubt that it was the ring. So wait, she saw it on Trade Me?

And she wasn't looking for it. She just happened to go on. This is where it gets really weird. But where's the mind blown Monday sting? I know. That's wild. So I'll build it looking for it. She just happened to go on. This is where it gets really weird. Where's the mind blown Monday sting? I know. That's wild. So I'll build it up for you. She doesn't usually go on Trade Me. She decided she was going to buy a gift for someone.

So she decided to give Trade Me a go. On Trade Me. She logged on to Trade Me and somehow the sheer coincidence that the ring that she lost 30 years ago just happened to be listed on Trade Me at somehow the sheer coincidence that the ring that she lost 30 years ago just happened to be listed on Trade Me at that time and she just happened to be able to search for the correct ring and found her ring.

Otherwise she never would have got it back. That is insane. Yeah. You know crazy because I was on Trade Me the other day and I saw definitely what used to be my jet ski 30 years ago. And I need to contact the seller because I need that jet ski. Do you have photos of you riding it 30 years ago?

I can Photoshop some. We want to know stories like this this afternoon. It doesn't have to be of jewellery. Stories of things that you never expected to get back. Yeah, what did you lose and it somehow made its way back to you? It might not have been stolen. It may have been stolen in a burglary. Or you may have just misplaced it and then five years later

it turns up somewhere. Yeah, you find it down the back of a cabinet or something. Yeah. It could be a pet. Could be a pet. Yeah, could be a pet. Could be a pet. Somehow the pet got returned, went missing for three years.

We hear those stories all the time. Could be your marbles. Yeah. We don't care what those stories all the time. Could be your marbles. Yeah. We don't care what you've lost this afternoon. Could be your ex. Oh, 800 dials at M. Somehow they came back. If you've got a story that fits the brief,

something you never expected to get back, but you got it back, we want to hear about it on 0800 dials at M. Or you can text us on 9696. We'd love to hear your stories. Just up to date. Bree and Clint. Awesome story in the news today.

Maureen is an Aucklander who had her ring stolen 30 years ago. And then last week she just happened to be on Trade Me browsing for a gift. And she came across her ring that had been stolen 30 years ago. It was Amethystistist. An Amethyst. Amethystist. Amethyst. And she contacted the police. She said, that's my ring. Anyway, long story short, she managed to get her ring back after 30 years

and the Amethystist is back on her finger. Amazing. Amazing. What a nice story. We want to know this afternoon, what did you expect to never see again? You're like, I'm gutted that it's gone. Well, maybe you weren't gutted. Maybe you're like, phew, thank God that thing's gone. And then it came back into your life later on. Anna has called up. Hi, Anna.

Hi, Anna. Hi. What was it that you lost? So I lost a little stuffed toy gorilla. Right. Okay, right. How old were you? I was about three years old. I lost it on a flight from New Zealand to Australia.

So, yeah, three years old. Lost it on the plane. Thought it would never see it again. And then I was about 17. I went to a garage sale just down the road from my house. And lo and behold, the little stuffed gorilla was sitting there in a pile of other stuffed toys. I checked the tag and it still had my name sitting on the tag. I was just about to say, how could you know that that particular gorilla was yours, but

you had your name on it? I had my name on it, yeah. Have you done the detective work to find out how it ended up down the road from you? Yeah, so apparently they were just by chance on the connecting flight back to New Zealand on that exact same day when I was three, and their kid picked it up from underneath their seat. What? That is quite spooky.

Damn kid, what a thief. Okay, glad you got your monkey back. Let's go to Ashley. Hi, Ash. G'day, Ash. Hi. What did you lose that you never thought you'd see again? So when we were younger, about

maybe 16 years ago, my family and I went on a trip to Australia and when we returned, we created like a little scrapbook. Ashley, I thought you were about to tell the exact same story that Hannah just told. I was like, wait a minute, we just heard this story. On the way home, I stole a toy

monkey. No, okay, so you make a scrapbook. Yeah, and then about three months later, mum lost it. She thinks she left it at like a bus stop or something. Yeah. And then about three weeks ago, my sister received a message on Facebook from a lady that had actually found the scrapbook in her work locker room. So we got, yeah So we got it reunited. And it had been missing for 16 years?

Yeah, 16 years. What? Whoa. And it had just been sitting in the work locker room. That's memories too. Your mum would have been so happy to receive that back. Yeah, she was absolutely stoked. Yeah, right.

That's crazy. We got a text message from one guy who said, I supposedly lost my wedding ring 25 years ago, and I've been given grief for it ever since. We found it recently in my wife's jewellery box. Oh no. I wonder if the wife put it there

just to teach him a lesson. What about someone said, I lost my greenstone and found it 10 years later. Isn't it like with the greenstones they come to you when you, like someone has to give you one, right? Yeah, you have to receive it. And then they say that they, you know, if you lose it,

you're not meant to have it at that time. Oh, really? I've not heard that. I swear someone told me that that's the greenstone. And then like if it comes back, then it's meant to come back to you at that time. That's a good excuse to use if mum asks where your greenstone is. Yeah, right. Yeah, it's good. Bree and to you at that time. That's a good excuse to use if mum asks where your greenstone is. Yeah, right.

Yeah, it's good. Bree and Clint from iHeartRadio. This is the latest live from LA with Dean McCarthy. Dean's here. One of the cast of Below Deck have come out and said what it's like to work on a super yacht while Leonardo DiCaprio is partying on that super yacht. Dean, what's the latest?

Yes, super cool. Of course, the latest below deck on Bravo. I'm going to be working for Bravo. Are you? Yeah, we're going to be. We'll get to that. We'll get to that. But here's the hard way down the ride.

On the episode, the two castmates actually talked about the fact that Leonardo DiCaprio was once on one of their yachts, and they described him as being an ultra party boy. They said there was lots of models, and he really, really enjoyed having good time. They were on a yacht in Cannes when he was there for the Cannes Film Festival. But I have to tell you guys this. I don't even think I've ever told Breedies.

I've got the best Leonardo DiCaprio story. You're going to die. One of my friends has a company that charters. He's a middleman that charters private jets, right? Well, Leonardo DiCaprio chartered a private 747. So that's like a commercial plane that they convert into a private jet, has bedrooms, had a pool table, like crazy. He charted it right.

Him and 50 Nights did New Year's Eve in Sydney, okay, then got on the plane, it flew to Vegas, and then they did New Year's Eve in Vegas. No, they didn't. Swear to the Lord. They did two New Year's Evesves all paid for by Leonardo DiCaprio who rented this private 747. I think it was about $800,000 was the bill for the plane.

That's amazing. This is the bit I don't get about Leo, and no shade. The guy drives a Prius for environmental reasons, and yet he's willing to charter a private 747, which would use more gas than 400 cars yeah but maybe this was before he cared about the planet right oh okay back in the day the other bit i don't get is the below deck staff who are coming out and saying yeah leo's the ultimate party boy he goes hard how does he manage to live this party boy lifestyle and it's

not in any way dodgy or shady you know he's one of the only guys who is still out there going yeah love models love partying and there's no is he just you know a girl i know who's a model yeah i'm not gonna obviously say who it is but she told me that one time her and a friend she got to take a friend leo flew them out to this island where he was yeah and they got to just spend i think it was like them out to this island where he was. Yeah. And they got to just spend, I think it was like two weeks on this island where he was partying and there was just like other beautiful people there. Yeah, right. And he just literally just sent a plane.

He's just very courteous. Sent a plane and then a chauffeur picked them up, took them to the private plane and then took them to this party. Yeah, far out. Well, good for him. He's living the dream. I mean, it doesn't sound that good. I mean, it doesn't sound that good. I mean, it doesn't sound that good, does it, Dean?

Nah, nah, nah. You know, I mean, who wants to have two New Years in a row? Home to the kids for me. That's what I'm keen for. Dinner and bed. That's the latest with our Hollywood correspondent Dean McCarthy. Are people still into Love Island?

Are people still watching it? You are. Out of our group, me and producer Ben, he probably won't admit it on air. Are you watching Love Island, producer Ben? I'm watching it, yep. You loving it? It's okay. I'm watching it for my partner, Brooke, but it's fine.

Is that the only reason you watch it? I've managed to avoid it this season and just by not bringing it up with Lucy because she loves it. So you haven't told her about it? Oh, like I'm the person who tells her about everything. I just haven't brought it up. She knows about it and it's there. I feel like it'd be

perfect for her because she's stuck at home with the kids, like there's an episode every night. Yeah, but there's so much to watch. I feel like people are 50-50 on it. I'm currently watching it and I came across this article, which people who are watching this season might be interested in, and it's an article about, actually I've got a bit of information. I've got information about how much the Islanders earn per week

on the show. Keen to know about that. Because they do get paid to go on, right? Well, they get paid. I think it's called in TV, I'm pretty sure it's like they get paid like a living wage. Right. So money to cover your like bills and that kind of stuff.

Right, keep the rent paid and stuff like that. You get paid a big amount of money to go on these shows. You should. You get paid a living wage. Because they make so much money out of you being on it. But they will also make a ton of money after coming out of the house, of the villa. Yeah, unless they get cast as a villain.

But yeah, yeah, yeah, you're right. So according to this article, apparently they get paid around $500 a week to be in the house, which covers bills and stuff. I'd go on Love Island for $500 a week. I mean, it's a holiday where you're getting paid. It looks fun. You're getting paid to go on a holiday. And then this article also talks about who is the highest earning

Islander out of the cast, like before the show. Oh, yeah. In terms of like, you know, jobs and stuff. Because there's lots of tradies that go on the show, eh? Yeah, there's quite a few tradies. I think there's a plumber and a bricklayer on this season. Yeah, always is. Do you want the highest earning

or the least? Give me the highest first. The highest first. So for people who are watching the show, if you're watching one of the girls named Kaz, she's the highest earning Islander. Is she an influencer? She is a full-time fashion influencer. Yeah, okay.

So she earns, apparently, according to this, and she's a blogger, around $113,000 New Zealand-ish. Oh, that's the wrong button. Whoa. Yeah. What did you say? $113,000? Around that.

That's what they think. Pretty good. That's what they kind of think. People, if you're watching it, you'll know who Teddy is. He's the second highest and he earns around $83,000 a year. Is he an influencer? He's a senior financial consultant.

Nice. So he's earning around that much. Jake, who is the one that's going out with Liberty on the show, it says here he's a water engineer. Oh yeah. He earns around $75,000. Wait, is water engineer

a fancy way of saying plumber? Is it a plumber? Can the plumbers text in on 9696? Is that what you guys call yourselves? You guys are water engineers, eh? Water engineers, yeah. Yeah, okay. You'd think so. Chloe, she's another one who's been on the show for ages. She's a financial services

marketing executive. Right. She earns $73,000 a year. Yep. Millie, who works for ASOS, you know that- Clothing store. Clothing store. Yep.

So she's an online clothes- She's a fashion buyer for that online clothes retailer. That's a cool job. Yeah, she earns $52,000 a year. Yep. Let's go to the ones who earn the least. Yeah, give me the bottoms. The ones who earn the least. Liberty, who's the one that goes out with the water engineer,

she's a waitress at Nando's. Yes. And she earns- Love Nando's. Such a good place. Earns $35,000 a year. Nice. But you must get cheap Nando's.

I was going to say, you get cheap Nando's. Surely. So she's gone way up in my book. Yeah. You get cheap Nando's. I was going to say, you get cheap Nando's. Surely. So she's gone way up in my book. And one of the guys that earns the least is Toby, who has dated about seven girls in the villa this season. Not many people have liked him. He's gone up and down. He's a semi-professional footballer.

Oh, yeah. And how much does a – he plays for an Essex team called Hashtag United. And he earns – Wait, the team's called Hashtag United. And he earns... Wait, the team's called Hashtag United? That's what it says here. Right. Essex team, Hashtag United. Okay, yeah.

He earns $35,000 a year as well. Right. So he's looking for a sugar mama. That's why he's dating so many people. Well, I think so, yeah. Yeah, right. Bree and Clint. I was having a conversation with one of my mates last night and recently she's got married.

Yeah. Couldn't go to the wedding because obviously it was in Australia so I missed out on that. Stink. Typical. Anyway, I was talking to her about it and I asked her the question because I said, you know, it's been a few months now since you've been married.

Yeah. Are you going to change your last name few months now since you've been married. Yeah. Are you going to change your last name? Like what are you guys planning on doing or is he changing his last name? And she's like, well, she goes, I've actually changed my last name and now I wish I didn't. Why? And I was like, oh, no, trouble in paradise. Yeah.

She goes, I don't know how I missed this, but after changing my last name to his last name, it's made my initials into a funny word. Okay. And I was like, okay, this is interesting. Tell me more. So her name's so good. It's so good.

Her name is Tamara. His last name that she's changed her name to is Taylor. T.T. And her middle name is Ivy. Tit. She's a tit. She's a full tit. You know what?

That would make me want to change my last name more to my wife. You want to be a tit? Absolutely. I want to be tit. What was her maiden last name? Her maiden last name was Simington. So she's gone from a tis to a tit. Yeah, tis. Not as funny, not as original.

No, I don't reckon it's a consideration that many people make before changing their last name. They don't put it down on paper and go, wait, let me just check what this looks like as initials. What does my new initials spell out? Yeah. Because mine are funny-ish. They're not that funny.

But my name's Clinton Paul Roberts. So my initials are CPR as in one, two, three, one, two, three. My initials are BST. So if I just add another middle name in there that starts with E, I'd be best. Or an E and an A, you'll be a beast. I'm not going to have three middle names. I don't know.

Brianne Clint. Speaking of music, there's an article out today, and I saw this all over the news this morning, actually, where China is set to ban a number of songs containing illegal content at karaoke venues across the country. What constitutes illegal content? I mean, you know. Because it notes people can't hit because there's some karaoke songs that should be banned.

Yeah, that should be illegal. You know, like Whitney Houston songs. If you don't have someone in your group who can do Whitney, then Whitney should be banned. It says here the blacklist, which was announced by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, includes tracks thought to violate state religious policies by propagating cults and superstitions or encouraging illegal activities such as gambling and drugs.

Right, so not black eyed peas by humps. Maybe. I think it's fine. Activities such as gambling and drugs. Right. So not Black Eyed Peas, My Humps. Oh, maybe. No, I think it's fine. I think it's fine. Really? I tried to find the list, like of songs. Of banned songs? Yeah, but it's not really anywhere.

You can't really find it. But, I mean, there's almost, you know, a lot of karaoke places have so many songs on the list. Yeah. It'd be really hard to police it. And those dirty folders. But what I thought, I was like, I'm going to go onto the black webs of the internet to see if I could find this.

The black webs? The black webs. It's kind of similar to the dark web. I was going to say, is that the dark web? But it's different. It's one that Spider-Man actually started, the black webs. And I've found a few songs that I think are on this banned list in China. You know, this is only going to make me want to sing them more.

Yeah, same, same. You ban something, that's exactly what I want to do. Now, what I've done is I've beeped all the bad stuff, the bad parts, because obviously we can't play that on our show on national radio. But just picture that the beeped parts are obviously we can't play that on our show on national radio so um but just picture that the beeped parts are obviously propagating you know all of those things i just said illegal activities got it so the first one is from nickelback I mean, you get the idea. I get the idea, yeah.

You can't sing that one. Chad Kroger, It's cancelled in China. To be fair, a lot of people have been calling for Chad Kroger to be banned for a long time. So China just a hit of the game. A lot more explicit than I remember as well. Obviously one of the biggest obvious ones to me that just jumped out straight away

was that classic song that Mike Posner did. I took a **** piece of To show Laf of VGI was cool. And when I finally got sober, felt 10 years older, but something to do. I'm living not wearing. Yeah. There's, you know, illegal activities.

Yeah. I'm a real big. You know, he's calling himself. Mike Posner cancelled in China. One of the biggest ones that I thought, and we have beeped, and there's quite a lot of beeps in this one, which they've banned in China because it, you know, encourages illegal activities, is this clip.

Because I got ****. Because I got ****. Because I got ****. Go to the next one. Go to the next one. Go to the next one. I was going to go to court before I got ****. I mean, it just isn't the same. No.

When you have to beat the bad parts. What did he get? Because what he actually got is not as bad as what it sounds like he got. If you're in certain parts of America, you could sing this in karaoke places. Yeah, not illegal. But this is probably the most shocking song of all that I have learnt that is banned because it promotes illegal activities and it's Susie Kato.

See you, see you later. It's time to say... See you, see you later. I've really got... So see you, see you later. It's time to... See you, see you later. I've really got... So see you, see you later. It's time to... See you, see you later. I'll be...

Susie Cato, you dirty woman. I always knew she was filthy. You loose, you. Brian Clint. Once upon a time, there was a girl. She was smart, debatable, talented, eh, athletic. Not really. But picking a movie title based on just the plot line,

that she can do. Brie and Clint's What's the Plot? I think we've got to the point where we have to give you smart because you're about to do 19 wins in a row. At the start of that it says she was smart. Eh, debatable.

You've got to be smart to do 19 wins in a row. You reckon or just I watch too many films. Look, it's a niche skill but it's your skill.

You know movies and so far like I said you have 18 wins in a row. If you win today it'll be 19 and we'll jackpot

to $1,000. Or I was going to say something and then I was like, I'll jinx myself. Yeah, or Courtney will take you down. She'll stop you at 18 wins and she'll take home $950. Right, Courtney? Hello, Courtney. Absolutely. Confidence. Good. Courtney, how old are you? I'm 26. Perfect. Yep. Good. Right, how old are you? I'm 26. Perfect. Yep, good.

All right. I'll give you the rules first before I give the themes, so there's no time for anybody to do any research. Okay. You buzz in with your name when you think you know what the movie is. You don't wait for me to finish the plot line. Get in there, give it a go. So you're not telling us a theme?

I will tell you the theme just before we begin the game, okay? Just get in there, guess it. Or you don't. Here's the theme. I will tell you the theme just before we begin the game. Okay? Just get in there, guess it. Or you don't. Here's the thing. You get in there and guess it as soon as you think you know it. If you get it right, you get the point. If you get it wrong, the other person gets a free guess. They get it wrong, we'll carry on. That's okay. Courtney, you just need to know that Bree's very hot on her buzzer, so you need to be hot on your buzzer. Okay? I'm

hotter. Okay. Okay. I'm pretty hot. You're both hot, this is not a competition except that it is here we go the plot theme for the day today relates to the biggest movie in the world that is being released today what movie is that brie. Free Guy. Who's the star of Free Guy? Ryan Reynolds. Ryan Reynolds is the theme for today's What's the Plot? All Ryan Reynolds movies. Good luck. On your buzzers, everybody. Here we go.

Movie number one. Faced with deportation. Brie! The proposal. Yeah, that's right. Sandra Bullock is a Canadian. She was faced with deportation and he has to marry her in the proposal so she can stay in the country.

I said six words. I told you I was hot, Courtney. I'll give you that one. Do you know Ryan Reynolds' movies, Courtney? Yeah, I do. Okay, good. You're still in the game then. You've still got a chance.

But you are on the back foot. I feel like that was a fluke. Okay, good. You're still in the game then. You've still got a chance. But you are on the back foot. I feel like that was a fluke. Movie number two. A US truck driver, Paul, I'll give you his name, is attacked by Iraqis and finds himself buried underground with no idea. Brie. Buried alive. Buried alive. Is that Brie Buried Alive Buried Alive

Is that the name of the film? I know the film but is that the name of it? Right film, wrong name Courtney, would you like a free guess? Yeah, I'll try I'll give you five seconds Is it called Sex Underground? That's another Ryan Reynolds movie,

but it's not this Ryan Reynolds movie, so I'll carry on with the plots. Oh, wow, there's some action going on. Okay, a US truck driver, Paul, is attacked by Iraqis and finds himself six feet underground with no idea of this claustrophobic situation around him. With just a lighter and a cell phone, he must

fight against time to survive. I know the film, but I can't. It was such a horrible film, to be honest. I'll give you both five seconds and then I'll buzz the movie out and we'll move on. I say we go into the next one. We don't know it. You want to move on, Courtney? Yeah, let's move on. It's a handshake with Courtney and I. We move on. I say we go into the next one. We don't know it. You want to move on, Courtney? Yeah, let's move on.

It's a handshake with Courtney and I. We move on, neither of us. The title of the film was Buried. Oh! Okay. Let's move on. Movie number three. Ryan Reynolds movies.

One point to Brie so far. Our hero is the biggest man on campus. Bree. Bree. Oh, shit. She's done it. Sorry, Courtney.

It's not going to happen this week. That's all good. Sorry, Court. I thought I was going to throw you with Van Wilder. I thought it might be a little bit outside your wheelhouse. No. One of my favourite films. It's on Netflix again, and I watched it a couple of months ago.

Courtney, you go away with a consolation prize. You've got 50 KFC chicken dollars. Congratulations. Thank you. Thanks for playing, Court. All right, hasn't happened since last year, but next week we will play in the $1,000 round of What's the Plot? I'd like theme suggestions from people.

If you want to chuck a theme in there for next week's $1,000 round, you can text them in to 9696 right now because I want a really, really good one for this one. It needs to be good. We need a really good contestant too. Where did your ex pop up? Where did you run into the ex where you weren't expecting them? A Brisbane woman has opened up about the time that it happened to her

and I've never heard of this happening before. And it is so awkward. Like it's one of those situations where you go, you're the last person that I want to see here right now. Am I right? Is it the birthing suite? A Brisbane woman was surprised to run into her ex-boyfriend when she was about to give birth.

No way! Yeah, you got it right. I guessed that. She was in labour with her first child, a fairly high stress situation, and she'd been in hospital for four days already. It's been a long labour. Wait, did you say she was in labour for four days?

Well, she'd been in the hospital for four days and she was in labour by this point and it was go time. Like it was anyone who's had kids, you know the bit. It's push time. If she was in labour for four days, you wouldn't want to see anyone. I assume Australia is the same as New Zealand. You get your own midwife and she's with you through the whole pregnancy and she's there during the birth.

But the thing is they're only legally allowed to work for so long. They need to sleep. And so she'd been in there so long, her midwife had to sub out. She's like, cool. And she said to her, I just want to let you know that I need to go. It is time to push, but I do need to go.

What, in the middle of her pushing? As she was about to start pushing, yeah. Because she could push for another few hours. But if the midwife's done a 12-hour shift, she's got to go. I mean, bad timing. Bad time to leave. Bad time to leave. She goes, I need to go.

Just letting you know, Tim is taking over. I hope that's okay. Oh, no. Tim is one of only two male midwives at the Ipswich Hospital in Brisbane. And they had dated two years prior. What are the odds of that? You'd say, I feel like I can do this on my own. Tim doesn't need to be here.

Yeah. No, no, because it's her first baby. It's her first baby. She's so reliant on the midwife. I'd say, give me the epidural, and I'm going in, and I'm doing this by myself. See you, Tim. Send your hubby down. Get out, Tim. The father of the baby was in the room too. So in the room at her birth she now has the father of her baby and her ex-boyfriend. Was there no one else?

Like I literally, if they told me, this is the guy, and I'd say is there anyone else? I will take anyone at this point. Anyone. She had a pretty good attitude She said When they first told me it was him I couldn't believe it But then I was thinking to myself Oh that's fine

It's not the first time he's been down there Oh no Nah Nah Not a fan He's a professional though He's a professional He's there to do a job

I know he is But I'm just picturing Any of my exes That I wouldn't mind Them being in the birthing suite and I just don't think they would be my first people that I'd want to, you know, share that experience with. The chances are so low too.

Personally, I've never heard of a male midwife. I know they exist. They obviously exist. But I've never encountered a male midwife before. And I wonder if they're called midwife. I wonder if they're called midhusbands. You know? It doesn't have the same ring to it. I'm a midhusband. And I wonder if they're called midwife. I wonder if they're called midhusbands. It doesn't have the same ring to it. I'm a midhusband. Or a midman. Maybe he's

a midman. I'm a midman. I don't know. Anyway, he went through with it. Happy safe birth. And she actually said afterwards having my ex as my midwife actually made things a lot more comfortable. No, no. Don't believe her. That's glass half full. She's trying to make, you know, she's trying to make, what's it called?

What's the name out of lemonade? Polish a turd. Yeah, she's trying to roll the turd in glitter. That is a horrible situation for both of them. For both of them, yeah. And for her partner. And the partner. She said that her partner said when he walked in,

because it was only two years ago that they dated and she was straight up with him about it. He said, what the F is he doing here? Because at first you'd go, Wade, whose baby is this? And that's when if I was the midwife guy, I'd go, surprise, it's mine! So birthing suite's pretty awkward, and I thought this afternoon we could take some calls on awkward situations where you ran into your ex.

Yeah, was it a bad time to run into the ex? Maybe you're on a first date. Yes. That's awkward. And your ex turned up to the same restaurant. Yes, maybe your ex works in retail and you went in to try on your wedding suit to marry someone else and she ended up measuring you up. Not good.

Maybe. That would be awkward. What about if you attended the same wedding but you didn't know your ex was going and they didn't measuring you up. Not good. Maybe. That would be awkward. What about if you attended the same wedding, but you didn't know your ex was going, and they didn't know you were going, and then you got sat next to each other. And then the couple didn't know that you guys had broken up, and they sat you guys together.

Oh, $800. You can text these stories into 9696 as well. We want to know, where did you run into your ex, and how awkward was it? Bree and Clint. We're talking about awkward places to run into your ex and how awkward was it? We're talking about awkward places to run into your ex. A Brisbane woman has opened up about her regular midwife having to go home mid-birth and the

new midwife walking in, who was a man, just happened to be her ex-boyfriend. Speaking of male midwives, someone texted through and they said apparently there's three working male midwives only in New Zealand. Yeah, and they said they are called midwives still. Yeah, they are called midwives. Not midmen, as I suggested. So shout out to the male midwives and the female midwives. You guys do amazing jobs.

They're striking today too. Yeah, I know. So even bigger shout out to you guys. And from someone who is dating a nurse, hope you win. Oh, yeah. And for someone who has used two midwives in the last two years. Keep fighting, guys, because you deserve it. You need some more money.

Every last penny. Where did you run into your ex? And it was super awkward. Grace has called up. Hi, Grace. Hi, Grace. Hi, how are you? Good, thanks.

What was the awkward situation that you ran into your ex? So I went out for dinner to a popular restaurant in Christchurch, not thinking I would see really anyone I would know, and I was on a first date. And we got up upstairs, and then I saw my ex-boyfriend of seven years and all his friends. Oh, no, no. How long had it been?

It had been a while, though. It had been, like, you know, a couple of years since you broke up. No, it was only about, off the top of my head, I think it was two months. Oh, seven years together and two months apart and then you were out there on a date. It's getting worse. Oh, that's so awkward. Grace, not good. Well, he had his new girlfriend with him and I didn't realise he also knew the guy I was with.

Oh, no. Oh, my God. This is getting worse and worse. Please tell me you didn't realise he also knew the guy I was with. Oh, no. Oh, my God. This is getting worse and worse. Please tell me you didn't make small talk. You just pretended you didn't see him and carried on with your date, right? I think I nearly, like, had a panic attack and I just sat down and I was like, what is going on? Yeah.

And then I made up leave because I felt so awkward. I think that's fair enough. Yeah, I'd leave. I think that's fair enough. Yeah, I'd leave. I think that's, yeah. Absolutely fair enough. How can you focus on being sexy and flirting if your seven-year boyfriend of two months broken up is sitting at the table across from you?

And all his friends and his new girlfriend. Horrible, great, poor thing. That's horrible. Someone on the text machine, this is just as bad. Someone said, years ago, I ran into my ex, my recent ex at the self-service checkout whilst buying condoms for a fun time with a new girl I was seeing.

She just raised her eyebrow at me. That is awkward. She would have gone, you've got the wrong size. That is very awkward. Speaking from experience, I think you need to go down a size in those. Not a good situation. Sarah's here. Where did you have an awkward encounter Speaking from experience, I think you need to go down a size in those. Not a good situation. Sarah's here.

Where did you have an awkward encounter with your ex, Sarah? Yeah, I was at a concert with my now husband, and I had a little bit of an accident, and my ex was the paramedic that treated me. Oh, you mean actual accident, because when you said accident, I thought you peed your pants. Yeah, that's what I thought. I thought I was like number one or Yeah, that's what I thought.

I was like, number ones or twos? I wish it was that. I could hear you doing air quotation marks when you said accident. Wait, wait, accident? So you slipped over. He didn't give you mouth-to-mouth, did he? No, luckily not. I don't think my new partner would have liked that. That would have been very awkward.

Did your new partner know that the man treating you for your accident was your ex? Oh, 100% I told him. And paramedics in their uniforms look so hot. And he's helping. Yeah, I have now a fear of injuring myself in case he's the one that treats me again.

You're just always on the lookout. You're like, oh no. She's extra safe. Someone on the text machine said, oh my God, this happened to me. I went to a strip club with my new partner and my ex was on stage dancing. Oh, who's that more awkward for? You or your ex?

Everyone. Everyone involved. Or your partner? Everyone. I reckon the person who holds the power in that situation is the ex who's stripping because she's the one who can come over and go, well, I'm a working professional. I can make, I'm

going to go and, you know. No, if you are the person that walks in and your ex is there, you leave out of being respectful to everyone. Liam's here. Hi, Liam. Hi, Liam. Hiya, how's it going? Good, man. Where'd you run into your ex?

It was at a job interview. So I walked into a room full of people getting ready for the job interview and my ex walked in and she sat at the table as it was a group interview and started talking to everybody about it.

She was the interviewer not an interviewee. She was the person doing the interview. Oh, no. That is so awkward. Can you imagine when she got to your references? She goes, Liam, why do you have your best mate Darren down

as your last boss? Darren's the best mate, eh? Gotta have Darren down. Gotta have Darren down there. He's got plenty of good things to say. Oh, yeah, Liam, I just know Darren's the best mate, hey. Gotta have Darren down. Gotta have Darren down there. Gotta have Darren down. He does a great job. He's got plenty of good things to say. Oh, yeah, Liam, nah, stand-up bloke. Always was in early, out late.

Absolute stand-up bloke. Now, we were just talking about where'd you run into your ex. Yeah. Someone said, it's not awkward, maybe just funny, but my ex is my current girlfriend's bikini waxer. Oh. I didn't even know she was still in the country. Is that what you call a love triangle?

I don't know. This is our birthday banger. Three people. What was the number one on their 16th birthday? Josh is here. Hey, Josh. G'day, Josh. How are you?

Good, mate. What's your birthday? 28th of June, 1995. Right, you were 16 in 2011. On the 28th of June in 2011, this was number one. Never mind, I'll find someone like you. Oh, it's Adele, isn't it? Can't go wrong with that.

Good times. That's a great song. Let's get one more on for Bethany. Hi, Bethany. Hi, Bethany. Hello. How's your day been, Beth? Oh, not bad, not bad.

Not too bad. Let's see if we can make it better. What's your birthday? Christmas Day, 1971. Oh, you poor bitch. That sucks. It's good, it's good. It's a good birthday. It has to be one of the worst birthdays, I feel, for you guys.

Try telling that to Jesus Christ. I mean, it's good for him, but everyone else. Yeah, but Bethany, she can get combination presents. Okay, let's ask Bethany. Good or bad to have your birthday on Christmas Day? No, I get two presents. Once I had kids, I stopped celebrating it. Yeah, right.

See, it means it's not very good. Oh, well, once you get too old, it's good. Oh, true, Bethany, true. Yeah, I've just had the same birthday three years in a row, Bethany, so I feel you. You were 16 in 1987,

and on Christmas Day in 1987, this was number one. Yes, I gotta have a baby. I gotta have a baby. Because I gotta have a baby. George. Absolutely the best. Absolutely the best.

Yeah, love it. One of my favourite George Michael songs. Yeah, yeah. It's the George Michael song. It's the George Michael song. It's the George Michael song. Okay, Adele, Rihanna and George Michael. Three icons. There's no duds in there.

No. Songs or artists. All good. Take me seriously for a second. Does Adele have a shot? I know it's slow, but it's Adele and it's been a while since we heard that song. Does it have any kind of vibes? I haven't made my mind up.

I'm just hashing it out with you. I don't think it's the vibe, the right vibe for today. I mean, I adore Adele. Love everything she does. Well, this is what she's about. This is a great track. This is her main steeze. I mean, she did that she's about. This is a great track. This is her main steeze. I mean, she did that song Rumours.

Yeah, a bit different. All right, then, you cast your vote first. No, you cast your vote. No, you cast your vote first. I don't know what to pick. I'm leaning towards, we did George Michael recently. I know, we did it last month, didn't we? That's right, and then Rihanna is going to get played in Friday Jams tomorrow,

which is why I'm thinking it could be Adele. Faith, George Michael, don't care. We played it last month. Watch me, Ross. Watch me go. Okay, I'm going Adele. Something in my gut says it could be the right song to do. That means split vote goes to Producer Ben.

It's not the right one. Producer Ben, you have all the power and all the songs available. What's the winner of Birthday Banger today? Yeah, that's hard. That is a hard one. You can do Rihanna. Yeah, I was going Rihanna, but then you've brought up the Friday Jams tomorrow.

That's tricky. You know what? I'm going to go with Adele just because we have played George. We played him like not even a month ago. I guarantee you. I haven't heard Adele for a long time. You're going to regret it. No one on a Thursday afternoon wants to go, not even a month ago. I guarantee you you're going to regret it. I haven't heard Adele for a long time. You're going to regret it.

No one on a Thursday afternoon wants to go, oh yeah, put on some Adele someone like you. Josh, do you want to hear some Adele someone like you?

Oh, where are you? Diana Funeral. What's that? Is that what you say? Good for a break up party at a funeral. There he is.

Here we go. We're committed and we're doing it. This is our birthday banger for Thursday. Disappointed in both of you. Disappointed. Don't worry. I'm not angry.

Disappointed. It's only four and a half minutes. Oh, my God. Zeddy and Bree and Clint, it's the winner of birthday Banger today from Adele. It's someone like you. Don't know about you guys, but I feel hyped up. I'm ready.

Take on the day. And for everyone coming at me on the text machine, I love Adele. I'm probably the biggest fan of Adele in this studio, but I just didn't know if it was the right vibe. That's a big flex from someone who didn't vote for her No but that's what I mean It just wasn't the right vibe Birthday Banger is about picking the song for the vibe

And maybe I was wrong Because people in the text machine It's 50-50 It's split for sure And that's the segment isn't it Look I need some help I need all my rock fans If you're a big rock enthusiast, you love

the genre of rock music, I need you to call right now. 0800 dials at M. There's a prize in it for you. Won't they all be listening to the rock? Well, I did think about that afterwards, but you never know. Some of them will be over here because we're playing that Måneskin song now.

Yeah, 0800 dials at M. I need you to call right now because you're about to compete in a rock quiz. Now, Clint doesn't know about this, but this week on the show, you have claimed to be a rock guy. Yeah, I'm a rock guy. You said this yesterday.

I think about getting back to my roots and becoming a rock guy again. I told you I'm a rock guy. Yeah, I'm a rock guy. You said this yesterday. I think about getting back to my roots and becoming a rock guy again. And I told you I'm a rock guy. Yeah, I'm a rock guy. You're a rock guy. I've got rock and roll roots. So I thought we could put you to the test against a super rock fan.

Yeah, right. This afternoon. Easy, I'll blitz them. Right. I've got a Metallica t-shirt somewhere. I haven't worn it for a long time. Put together a quiz, a rock quiz, where you will go head-to-head against someone on the phone.

All right, let's rock. We've got a rock check on the line. Elle. Ellie is here. Hi, Ellie. G'day, Ellie. Hi, Ellie. You're a big rock fan?

Yeah. I like that, Ellie. Good stuff. So here's how it's going to work. It's going to be best of five. Okay. So I'm going to ask the questions and then all you need to do is buzz in with your name to answer it, okay? Got it.

No worries. All right, perfect. First question is a music-based question. I'm going to play a clip and I want the first person who knows the title of the song and the band to buzz in. Here we go. Name this song and artist. Clint. Yes, Clint.

In Excess. Yes. Would I do the song as well? Yes. Oh. You were there. No idea. I've got no idea.

It's in excess though. Ellie, do you know the title of that song? I do, but it's escaped my mind. No points for anyone. It's Never Tear Us Apart in excess. Of course it is, yeah. I know that because I'm a rock guy. That's a bit soft for me, that song, but yeah.

All right, question number two. Buzz in when you know the answer. What did Queen vocalist Freddie Mercury attribute his enhanced vocal range to? Yes, Clint. His front teeth, his buck teeth. I don't know if I can give you that. He said he was born with four extra teeth, which enhanced his vocal range.

Come on, teeth. This is teeth. I said teeth. All right, I'll give you the point. Do you think he deserved that point, Ellie? I don't know. Yeah, yeah, he deserved that one. All right, question number three. Thanks, Ellie.

Rock on. How many encores did Elvis Presley usually give? Ellie. Yes, Ellie? Is it five? No, that's not the right answer. Is it three? Come on, guys.

It's not three. There's no way. I can't believe you don't know this. Elvis Presley is the undisputed king of rock and roll. The saying Elvis has left the building is what they used to say because he never did any encores. Oh, trick question. Oh, damn.

We'd never do any encores. All right, one to Clint so far. Question number four. Name the band and the song of this group here. Clint! Yes. That's the Rolling Stones. Give me, give me, give me the honky tonk

something. It's Honky Tonk Woman. It is the Honky Tonk Woman. Yeah! Right, last question. Here we go. Why did guitarist Jeremy Spencer leave Fleetwood Mac in 1971? Clint. Yes.

A breakup. Within the band. He was dating someone in the band and there was a breakup. No. Damn it. Cocaine addiction. Didn't he join another band? Oh, you were close.

He joined something. He joined a cult. He joined a cult. He just left one day and he never came back. And he joined a religious cult. Well, there you go. All right. I learned something. As a rock dude, I learned something.

And as a rock chick, Ellie, I'm sure you're always keen to keep learning stuff about rock music. That's what us rock people like. Absolutely. Rock on, baby. All right, there you go. Rock on, everyone. You passed this test. Heard Fletch von Amigen talking about this this morning,

and I wanted to revisit the topic of pet prenuptial agreements, a.k.a. a legal document that says exactly what will happen to the pet in the event of a breakup. Oh. What? I thought it was a prenup agreement between you and your pet. No. As in, you know, what they get if you break up with your pet.

Who gets the house. Yeah, because I got one of those with my dog, Whitney. The dog's like, shotgun the garden. Yeah. If we break up, shotgun the garden. She's getting too much already. She doesn't even pay rent. So here's the stats.

Pet prenups are going up in popularity, especially in the UK, where the divorce rates have grown by 122% in 2020. Yeah, that's because we're all spending too much time with our partners. You joke, but that's what it is. Oh, it is. It is. Lockdowns have gone. Maybe people go, I don't like you.

This is what you're actually like. Yeah. I think it's half that and it's half people taking like a holistic look at their life and going, what am I doing with this person? I could die tomorrow. I'm going to, oh, I'm out. I'm wasting my life. And so pet prenups are becoming more and more popular here in New Zealand as well.

And so the idea is if you get into a relationship and you've already got a pet, you would spell out a legal document that says, don't care how much you bond with the dog, if we break up, it's my dog. Or the inverse, you get into a relationship, you guys get a pet, you sign a document that says, if we break up, you have to go 50-50 with me

and this dog, you have to take it for 50% of the time, and you have to pay 50% of the cost. What are your thoughts on that? I think that it can cause controversy when people are both as invested as in the pet as each other but so long as there's one person who's a little bit more invested than the other then you'll be fine you'll go oh you keep the dog i just think it's it's quite hard and it drags out stuff and i get it because obviously I have a dog and I get –

Well, you have a shared dog as well. That's what I mean. So I get how hard it would be to decide who gets the dog, but I just think it makes things real messy if you decide that – and the dog, uprooting the dog every couple of weeks and all that kind of stuff. Oh, like moving it around houses. If you're saying like –

Well, imagine doing it with a cat. A cat wouldn't work. I have friends who doing it with a cat. A cat wouldn't work. I have friends who did it with a cat for a while. No. And the cat did week on, week off. The poor cat. And I was like, this cat must be frigging miserable. You know, my friend, one of my friends,

I remember she had a dog with her boyfriend. And when they got the dog together, they had this like agreement. It was like their own prenuptial pet agreement where they said, right, we're going to get this dog together. In a situation where we break up, if it's one person that is like breaking up the relationship and not both of us, then whoever breaks up the relationship doesn't get the dog.

Forfeits the dog. Yeah. Oh, I like that because it's like an animal-based guilt trip to stay in the relationship. And I remember her telling me about this and then about a year later they did break up. She broke up the relationship and she was devastated because he got to keep the dog.

Because she lost the dog. My wife Lucy and I have the perfect solution for this and it doesn't require a legal document at all. Two cats. Yeah, but who gets the one that has cost heaps in vet bills? She does. Because I did all the vet runs, so it's her turn. Feed by KFC. Get the full menu
