You know Add on to my meal. That's the only reason I get it. I'm not criticising you for drinking it. I'm criticising the Coca-Cola Corporation for making such a chody bottle of Coke. Is it because it reminds you of your penis? Too thick to be my penis. It's easier to bring back from where you buy it because you put it in your pocket. True. Which means that it would look like your penis. No! Are you talking about this or your penis?

No, the bottle. I'm actually going to hop on the bandwagon with Clint and agree. They're creepy, eh? No. What's wrong with it? I'm a big fizzy guzzler. I love fizzy drinks. Are you a fizzy guzzler?

She's a guzzler, baby. She's a fiz. No, no, no. It's just a very descriptive word. That would not satisfy me. Like it. Oh, my. Honestly, the verbiage that you're using, is that the right word?

Fizzy guzzler, not satisfied. With how many mils? 300. She needs at least. A liter. At least 500 mils. Pour some sugar on me. Give me the fizzy.

If you were an Avenger Your name would be the fizzy guzzler Is fizzy like Does it have a naughty connotation No guzzler So does satisfaction Guzzler on the other end Hello Mr and Mrs Lufen by the way

Here's a question I'm not going to be dirty but what is the one word that you think of when you hear the word guzzler? Same here. I think of... Yeah. I think of cars. Like gas guzzlers. No, you don't.

We do too. Yeah, me too. I think of a Mitsubishi Pajero. Yeah, me too. Hey, P. Yeah, me too. I think of a Mitsubishi Pajero. Yeah, me too. Hey, Pajeros, great cars. You know what I realised the other day? I've had three cars in my life, all Mitsubishis. Did you have a Pajero?

No, I didn't have a Pajero, but I've had all Mitsubishis. Let me guess. So I know you had a Lancer and I know you've got an ASX. What was the other one she had? You would have had a Mirage. I went Mirage? Yes! Up to the medium Lancer, and I know you've got an ASX. What was the other one she had? You would have had a Mirage. I went Mirage. Yes. Up to the medium Lancer, and now I'm in the large medium size ASX.

Yeah. You're on track for the Pajero before 35. I don't even know if they make the Pajero anymore. They do. They're ugly as hell. Because they make the Eclipse Cross, which I quite liked, and then they make the Outlander. Pajero's when they came in.

Pajero's are a great car. Do they call them Pajero's in Australia? Yeah. So Pajero's when they came in, it was like that was the SUV car in New Zealand. It was like the category. That was it. Really? Not the Land Cruiser?

No. Maybe Rural. Toyota Land Cruiser is it. But the issue was they were like, oh, you wanker and your big SUV. Because people are driving around the city. They are very big. And this is when cars weren't that big.

Apparently, apparently, Pajero is Portuguese for wanker. Is it? That's what I heard. The word... Is it? Hey, Siri. Come on, Siri.

Siri. Hey, Siri. Oh, God, you've been such a bitch lately. You've had your period or something. Hey, Google. She just got angry at me. What is Portuguese for wanker let's come back with idiota hey siri

what is wrong with her hey siri what language do they speak in argentina oh she's listening to you language of argentina is spanish oh spanish maybe it was spanish oh yeah maybe what is spanish for wanker in spanish that's hilly boy yes yeah that was worth it. Sorry, Guzzler, what's up? Fizzy Guzzler, what's up? If you want a Pajero, this is the last year you can buy one. Oh.

They discontinued them in, like, 2019 or something in Japan, and apparently they're only keeping them. This was in 2019, so it might not even be accurate anymore. Yeah. But they were only going to sell them until um the end of 2021 so here's a fact they've also discontinued the lancer have they yeah the lancer has been gone for a little while really their best-selling car is the asx it's because sedans are on the way out try to tell you that when you had one well i bought it a long time ago yeah i Well, it's good that you're off it now. You have a sedan that has a big ass.

Yeah. That's where I keep all my junk. Man likes a big booty. Nothing wrong with that. You have a sedan slash hearse. It's a station wagon. That's kind of like a hearse. A fancy hearse. Yeah, bougie. Especially that he gets a new hearse. A fancy hearse.

Yeah, bougie. Especially that he gets a new hearse every year. Yeah, I know. I can't believe you upgrade your car every year. Does he do the trade-in thing? I've never known someone rich enough for trade-in. I think he does. I think he does.

And he just kind of rolls through. What's rich about trading in your car? You know what he does. Because you're like, I'll just top it up a little bit more, get a new one. Have you ever heard of a drive-through car dealer? Because Clint just drives through, gets out of one car, gets into the next car, like brand new and just swaps it.

I heard he just takes it to like a park, literally throws the keys and then he catches an Uber to the next out of dealership. No, no, no, that's not true. I heard he goes to a wood chipper place and he drives the car into the wood chipper. Why would I do that? I've never driven a wooden car before. Well, you take the car to the scrap yard and you go, mate, what do you give me for this?

And then he goes, kidding, you can have it. And then you scrap it and then you catch an Uber to the next place. Nice. Uber? Yeah. Yuck. Do you catch a taxi? Corporate cab.

Yeah, luxury cabs. Nice. Has to be an Audi. Has to be an Audi luxury cab. Hey, you know how we get Uber for work on our phones? Can we select Uber Black? Uber Black. Do we know?

No. When I try and order? Do we know? No. When I try and order normally, it just comes up. Oh my God, I've just had a great idea. Has anyone in here ever called an Uber Black? No.

I haven't either. Should we do it for the show tomorrow and we can claim it back on work and we see what car we get? That option's never even come up for me, like, ever, ever.

You live in a fancy suburb, but it should be coming up for you. Hey, mate, I'm catching UberPools these days, mate. You catch the biggest UberPool, the bus. I had a lovely friend called Kim the other night. We got along well. Yeah, I'm keen to catch an UberBlack. We should do that.

I've never caught one. Well, tomorrow we're in Queenstown. My only option's ever come up and come for UberX and pool chance. Do we have UberBlack here? Yeah. We do. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We can try and catch...

Tomorrow we'll be live from Queenstown, which means absolutely nothing to you. But if you know where Queenstown is, how jealous are you? I'd be very jealous. One of the most beautiful places in this country, in my opinion. We've been told to put on glam clothing for dinner. I don't have anything. Which I know stresses you out. That's why I told you as early as I could this morning. It's a lot

harder for girls to dress glam. No offence to the lads. I mean, the lads can whack on a long-sleeved shirt and a jacket and you'll look great. Thank you. Whereas girls, not as simple, especially if it's in winter because we're hibernating. And you've also, like, what shoes are you going to wear?

Are you going to go all out? I don't have any shoes. No, you've got boots. Yeah, I've got boots. I'll bring my boots. No, but sometimes they don't look right with the length of your dress. Don't wear a dress then. It's going to be cold.

So I can't wear pants. Why can't you wear pants? No, I'm asking. Oh, no, you can wear pants. What if I wear pants and a nice top? If you wore pants with a sparkly top, you'd be all right. Okay. Yeah.

Oh, yeah. You can wear that What if I wear pants If you wore pants And a nice top And a sparkly top You'd be alright Oh yeah You can wear that blazer That you wore today Yeah I might wear that In like a strappy top Just don't wear Ripped jeans No these aren't ripped Yeah those would be alright

And some boots And you're good to go Oh yeah Maybe a high boot These boots were made For walking And that's just what And these boots

We'll go have the afternoon off. Today on the show, we are filling another cart with ZM's Add to Cart. Today, it's Courtney from Blenheim.

Love Blenheim. Beautiful Blenheim. It's so interesting, don't you think, to see what these people put into their carts? I just looked at the 4pm item. Yeah. I would get along with Courtney. Yeah, I've got those. Judging on...

It's a good cart for me. So do I. Yeah. It's cool because you get an insight. They've changed something about those, though. We were talking about this yesterday. We can't say what it is. They've changed something about those though. We were talking about this yesterday. We can't say what it is. They've changed something about them and now they're all squeaky when you walk.

Mine I can barely wear. I know. What's happened? They've changed the recipe. Do you reckon it's like some of the materials they're using? Yeah, it's something to do with the sole. The sole feels more comfortable but it's squeaky. Yeah, they've got no sole anymore.

Remember when they used to have so much sole? Yeah, where's your sole? Maybe they sold it like Bart did on The Simpsons that time. Four o'clock, we'll add another item to the Edgart cart. And at five o'clock, if you know what they all are, you can call us and you can win them. Tradie vs. Lady next. $50 cash on the line if you want to play.

I mean, it's just the name of the game. It's just the name, guys. But anyone is allowed to play, no matter what, call up, and if you get through, you can win 50 bucks, maybe.

I've got breaking news. How many ticks? We have had... 193 ticks for the Hump Day song, so... It's happening. It's Wednesday again. Here we go, everybody. Yeah, baby.

Welcome to the show, Tanika. Hi, Tanika. Hi. What is it about birds that spokes you out? Just the way they look. They've got like devilish eyes. It's creepy. I was going to say they're beady little eyes.

Is there a particular bird, like the scariest bird would be which? All of them. All of them. There's no particular one at all. Sesame Street was not fun for Tanika growing up. Do you guys have ibises here? No. Bitten chickens?

No, we've got pukikos. They're kind of like our ibis. I got bitten on the face by a bitten chicken when I was a kid. Yes, you did. It's a compliment. You're taking on our tradie today. He's 23, and he can do a full flip on a trampoline. What a legend.

It's Hayden. Hey, Hayden. How are you going? Can you play double bounce and break the egg, though, Hayden? I'll crack the egg. Oh, I'm not... I don't like that game. Bad memories.

Bad memories. Wasn't it brutal? Yeah, totally. Crack the egg. Okay, Hayden, your buzzer is tradie. Tanika, your lady, the first to get three correct, wins $50 cash. Good luck, everybody.

Duff Duff, baby. It's Netsky and hold on, did you know he DJ'd at the Super Rugby final on the weekend? Um, did you know that my mum listened to that song the other day and she goes, is this Netsky? Are you kidding? No BS. Okay, Netsky, you've officially made it.

You have been recognised by the over 40. Yeah, over 40 category. Over 40 category. Yeah. Officially. She could be listening. Look, I don't mean to be divisive or split people apart in the current climate. I know we need to come together more than ever.

It goes in the fridge. Tomato sauce. Oh, no. I've people messaging me about this again. It goes in the fridge. No, it doesn't. It's in the fridge. No, it doesn't. It does.

Eat your sauce faster. No one likes cold sauce. No one likes off sauce. We're not talking about sauce. I can't escape that conversation. Right now, I choose to. We're not talking about sauce. I can't escape that conversation right now. I choose to. We want to talk about millennials in particular. Look, we've been credited with killing off a lot of things.

We killed off video stores. Yeah, that was our bad. Yeah, we killed off getting photos developed. No, that's coming back. Not in a big way. Not in a go and get 35 photos developed in one hour kind of way. Yeah, well, some photos I'm taking, I don't want to get developed. No, exactly right.

We also killed off catching taxis. Yes, we did. But apparently there's a tweet which suggests our greatest killing off ever that came out in 2018 and it says this. When will they acknowledge millennials' greatest takedown yet? Top sheets. I don't know a single millennial who uses a top sheet. Top sheets are archaic.

This is just the truth. And I've got to pose the question for a second. As a millennial myself, did we kill the top sheet? I don't know if we did. I mean, we're getting credited with it, but did we kill off the top sheet? Are you a top sheet or a non-top sheet? No comment. What are you?

I'm definitely 1,000% in the corner of the no top sheeters. Are you a no top sheeter? Yes. Oh, yuck. It's the way of life. Oh, yuck. Don't ooh yuck me. You don't shower before bed. Yeah, because I've got

a top sheet. I wear a t-shirt to bed and I also wear a top sheet to bed. Your duvet? How often do you wash your duvet? The same time I wash my sheets usually. Do you really? The duvet cover? Yeah. Because I don't have

a top sheet. I was going to say I don't do that because I've got a top sheet. People, look, this is what I said about being divisive. No top sheet. It divides people. It's divided me and you before. I forgot what side of the argument we were each on, and now I remember. We're enemies.

Why would you want a top sheet that just makes you feel like you're in a prison? It's luxurious. It makes you feel like you're in a prison. Have you ever taken off the entire duvet and just laid with the top sheet? No, because it feels weird. In summer, yes, I have. What do you do in summer when it's really hot? I put my leg outside the bed.

That's what I do. Let's go around the room just quickly. So you're a no top sheeter, I'm a top sheeter. No top sheet. Producer Ben, are you a top sheeter or a no top sheeter? I'm a top sheeter. Yeah. Producer Anastasia, top sheeter, no top sheeter?

No top sheeter, but in summer I'll have a top sheet for. Yeah. Producer Anastasia, top sheeter, no top sheeter? No top sheeter but in summer I'll have a top sheet for the summer thing. Oh wow, way to be on the fence Anastasia. You couldn't have

answered that more on the fence if you tried. I'm a Gen Z. You're so on the fence. I literally do not care. Yeah, you're Gen Z.

Actually, you're out of this game. Yeah, you don't even get to have a say. We want to ask people out there right now, top sheet or no top sheet?

I know people are passionate about it. I know it's a conversation that's been had many times before. But can we just get a vibe? Because apparently millennials killed the top sheet and I don't agree. I agree because it's the way of the future. No top sheet. How easy is it to make the bed?

So easy. Well, effectively, your bed's already made. Exactly. Exactly. Challenge yourself a little. You can get nice patterns on there. Boo. Top sheets.

No. You can get a flannel sheet. Boo. You can get a satin. Burn them. Burn them. You can get a satin top sheet. How can we sleep when the top sheets are burning?

Oh, $800 at M. Help us settle the debate. You can text us too with your opinion and your reasons. 9696. Bree and Clint. Debate going on. Splitting the room in half. Because millennials have been

credited with killing off the top sheets. I haven't used one for 10 years and look, I'm doing fine. Yeah, but as a skinny jean wearing side part years. And look, I'm doing fine. Yeah, but as a skinny jean wearing side part having millennial myself, I'm rocking a top sheet and I enjoy it. I think it's a way of life. There was something uncovered during the break.

No, that was privileged information. I believe Clint is a no top sheeter, dressed in wolves clothing, so to speak, because you said the only time I change is when my wife told me we have to have a top sheet. No, I didn't say that. I said she likes a top sheet and now I do too. You are a no top sheeter. I was.

I saw the error of my ways. Admit it. We want to find out this afternoon once and for all. Top sheets cancelled. We're going to start off this afternoon once and for all. Are top sheets cancelled? We're going to start off with Angie. Hi Angie. Oh, and we've got a demographic split here too. Angie is a member of Generation X. Oh, interesting.

Welcome Generation X. Hi. Oh, we can hear the offspring of Generation X in the background there. Yeah. Okay, top sheets, are they cancelled or are they still in fashion? I'm still in fashion? I'm still in fashion, yeah. I have a top sheet.

Yeah, right. No, Angie, no. No, she's smart, she's smart. You waste time. It's so much harder to make the bed. That's how she got that baby, because she's more attractive because of her top sheet. Her bed's a more enjoyable experience. More like the top sheet locks you into the bed so you can't get out. Let's go to another G and X.

Jackie's here. Hi, Jackie. Hi, Jackie. Hi. Top sheet, yes or no? No top sheet. Yes, Jackie. No top sheet.

What have you got against top sheets, Jackie? Oh, they're just awkward. I mean, they probably prevent maybe more than having a top sheet. Absolutely. But you're getting all your dirty body grease all over the duvet, Jackie. No, no, no. Shower before bed. Once a week, you're good to go.

Jackie, thank you for calling. Clint doesn't shower before bed, and he has a top sheet because you don't shower before bed. I'm busy. You're too busy to shower. Liam's a millennial. Hi, Liam. Hi, Liam. How you doing? bed. I'm busy. You're too busy to shower. Liam's a millennial. Hi, Liam. Hi, Liam.

How you doing? Good. One of us. One of us. How's your skinny jeans, Liam? Never give them up. I'm 100% with the top sheet, and there's a reason for this. What's the reason?

Now, I'm going to keep it PG, but if you're doing a bit of the indoor gardening, the last thing you want to have to do is fix the entire duvet. You know, the seats seems a lot easier to fix as opposed to the old duvet. That's easy fix, Liam. You just kick everything off beforehand and then you're good to go.

You know, you clear the workbench. Some of us, I think I'm on the same camp as Liam, some of us enjoy a modesty blanket. Some of us enjoy a little bit of cover. Interesting, bitch. Some of us, I think I'm on the same camp as Liam. Some of us enjoy a modesty blanket. Oh. Yeah. Some of us enjoy a little bit of cover. Interesting.

Interesting thoughts, Liam. We appreciate you calling through. A few texts. Yes. Someone said, no top sheet. My husband is very tall and actually longer than our bed, so by the time I get into the bed, the sheets are already pulled off. We decided years ago that I was spending too much time remaking the bed.

He can't have a top sheet. He literally will be trapped inside the bed. We understand that one. Someone else said, only psychopaths have top sheets. No, that's confrontational. Mark's here. You're a millennial. Top sheet, yes or no, Mark?

Nah, I'm with Bree. No top sheet. Yes, Marky Mark. Why? What's your thoughts on it? So I'm six foot nine, and when I was younger, I always just pushed it off. Yeah. That's fine, Mark.

You get a pass. Wait, no. I want to ask him about the six foot nine thing. Go on. You're six foot nine, Mark. Yes. Have you ever met anyone taller than you? My uncle's seven foot three.

No! And does he use a top sheet? No, he doesn't. No, because it would kill him. He can't. He needs two beds. We'll finish on Crystal. She's a millennial.

Crystal, take us out. Top sheets, yes or no? Yes. Yeah. No, Crystal. Yes. No. Why are you saying yes, Crystal?

Have you tried the no top sheet? I've tried a no top sheet and I just cannot do it. It just makes me feel like I have nothing on. Yeah. Yeah, Bree, you nudist. But it's also, when I was working in Australia, I worked in Australia for 11 months and over in Australia, no one used top sheets,

including the hotel we worked in. What? Yeah, we don't even sell them over there. Yeah, well, you guys have got a problem. It's so hot over there. You need a top sheet, then you need a mosquito net, then you need a snake blanket, then you need a crocodile cage. It's so hot over there.

As a blanket, we just lay tissues over ourselves. Bree and Clint. The latest. From iHeartRadio. This is The Latest. Live from LA with Dean McCarthy. We can't get enough of this story at the moment. It's Jennifer Lopez and...

Naveen, why did you unmatch me? It's me. Batfleck. Batfleck. The guy who got busted sliding in the DMs after getting unmatched on dating apps. And him and Jennifer Lopez rekindling their romance. Well, now their friends are weighing in on the story.

And Dean McCarthy has the latest. Hi, Dean. Hi, Dean. Hi, guys. I know it's still kind of wild that Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez are probably dating again. This is so blowing my mind, right? Ben Affleck is back. Well, first of all, they were seen, photos, paparazzi photos of them at an exclusive resort over the weekend.

Okay, like one of those places you can't actually visit. And some paparazzi got in there and got photos of them in a car together, got photos of them getting onto the plane together, photos of them that looked like holding hands together. Well, today, Matt Damon, one of Ben Affleck's best friends, has commented on this. And actually, he spoke about it on the Today Show this morning. Have a listen to this. Ben Affleck by Matt Damon, of on this and actually he spoke about it on the Today Show this morning. Have a listen to this. Ben Affleck by Matt Damon. How do you like them apples? There's not enough

liquor in the world for you to get me to say something about that. How about if we ask you this? Did the news make it to Australia? How did you even know that Bennifer was a thing again? Maybe. I just heard you guys. I was sitting here waiting to come on TV. It's the first time I heard about it. And what did you think?

It's a fascinating story. A lot of my favorite things. I hope it's true. I love them both. I hope it's true. That would be awesome. That is such a cop-out. He knew.

He knew. Ben, Matt Damon was the first guy that Ben Affleck texted. He was like, bro, guess what? Goodwill Hunting 2 is coming back. Right, okay. So it's a real thing. I mean, if Ben Affleck and if it's getting commented on by Matt Damon,

then it's a real thing. Good for them. What other 2000s couples should we bring back? Oh, yeah, that's a great question. Brad and Jen. Brad and Jen. Brad and Jen. Justin and Britney.

That is the latest live out of Los Angeles with our Hollywood correspondent, the man who knows it all, Dean McCarthy. Brie and Clint. Clint, we have breaking news. Your update at 3.54. A tiger has been seen roaming a neighbourhood in Houston, Texas

as police in the US city search for the animal and its owner. A man who is believed to be currently on bail and charged with murder. Whoa! The large cat got out on Sunday terrifying local residents. Seemingly

it had been kept as a pet. Yeah, you'd soil yourself if you saw a tiger. Oh, my God. Can you imagine? If you saw a suburban tiger, evacuate the bells. Can you imagine? You're just like, you know, in the humble suburb of Takapuna. The Takapuna tiger.

You walk around, you're like, oh, my God, that's a tiger. The Birkenhead bingal. Yeah. You've got your slippers on because you were putting the bins out and you have to run for your life. Now, as far as these escaped animal stories go, we've made a rod for our own back in that we like to cover them live. We do like to have someone out there on the ground.

Remember we sent Ben to Dunedin that time, that wild pig? Yes. Got out. And then he recently travelled to, where was it? Christchurch. Christchurch to cover the... Bull. Yeah, the missing bull.

And unfortunately, he hasn't returned since last week. We've lost our roving reporter. There was a bit of a tussle, it sounded like. But that doesn't stop us. No, we have more producers. We need a roving reporter. I mean, a tiger. This is the best one we've had.

This is a big story. So we've used all of our Air New Zealand air points that we got from Mitre 10 Mega over lockdown. Yep. And we've put producer Anastasia on a flight. Producer Anastasia, come in. Hey guys. Hey, how's it going?

Hello from Houston, Texas. Hello. How was the flight over? Oh, it was great. Yeah. Thank you so much for not spending the rest of the air points on me getting upgraded to business class. I know that I got put on Clint's quarter membership. You're very welcome. It means a lot to me.

Look, we'd love to talk about the flight all day, but there's a tiger on the loose at the moment, Anastasia. We need to know, as our roving reporter, do you have eyes on the tiger? Look, guys. Look, guys, Look, guys. Hey, I've heard that Carol Baskin's en route to come and take the tiger. She wants it.

She loves a free tiger. Yeah, yeah. And basically, look, I'm here and I'm ready and I've got my eyes out on this. Oh, my God. No, stop. The tiger has attacked me. Oh, no.. No, stop. The tiger has attacked me. Oh, no, she's being mauled. It may or may not be an Italian tiger.

She's being mauled by the Houston tiger. The tiger sounds remarkably like Bree, too. Yeah, look, I don't know what that was, but it definitely was a garlic-loving Italian tiger. Yeah, right. It sounded exactly like a tiger to me. You know what it was, Anastasia? Yeah.

1,500 ear points well spent. All right. She should have flew tiger air. I saw a tiger. That's enough, guys. That's good stuff. That's good stuff. I'm asking the question this afternoon, what got infected?

Because this story has been shared online by a girl named Caitlin after she got a piercing. She got her rook pierced. What's your rook? Is that rude? No, it's not rude. Is it your, let me guess, let me guess. You've never had your rook pierced?

No, I don't have a pierced rook. Rook? Your rook pierced? I think I don't have a pierced rock. Rock? Your rock pierced? I think my rock's too small to pierce. It is quite small. I've seen it quite thin. It's true. It's not the size of your rock.

It's what you do with it, okay? It's how it looks. It's what my mum tells me anyway. Can I guess what a rock is? Is it that little dangly bit by your ear? No, that's your... I've had that pierced. Perineum No

No, okay, I don't know about piercings Do you know what you just said? No, it's something like that It's like that Perineum is the female goot No, I know that now I've seen it, okay Can you get that pierced?

0800 dials at Emma Have you had your perineum pierced? intentionally or unintentionally um like what the tragus i've had the tragus pierced not the tragus tragus is the little if you're looking at your ear it's not the earlobe it's the pointy bit in the middle and no one knows what it's for yeah it's weird i've had that it hurts like hell no the rook is the part like the meaty bit of the ear, that bit. Ah. Okay, so what Brie is pinching, if you need to imagine it, it's the bit they put the tags through on cows' ears. Yeah.

That's your rook, isn't it? Is that what it is? Yeah, let's just go with that. Yeah, it's the meaty bit of your ear. It's the meaty bit. Anyway, she's had that pierced and let's just say it got infected after she got into a hot tub. Mm-hmm. Which.

Oh, yeah. So much bacteria in a hot tub. Never use a hot tub at an Airbnb. That's one of my five rules of life. Never use a hot tub at an Airbnb. Anyway, this is some audio and it's computer audio, but this is her telling the story through the audio. Got my rook done and i loved it

then i went into a hot tub drunk i could tell it got infected i called the doctor and got antibiotics i had a flight to france the next day so i went to a doctor in france he told me the english doctors gave me the wrong antibiotics but it was past antibiotic treatment and yes the piercing is still in there so i I went to A&E. After two injections, the new doctors gave me gas and air. They called the infectious diseases specialist and I had to stay on a drip for five days. I was then told I was going to be in Hopsicle for six weeks as. Worst week of my life.

Oh, I'm looking at it now. It looks like she almost needed to have her ear amputated. It was close. I reckon it was close too. Jeez, anything that close to your brain is terrifying, eh? Very infected. Yeah, don't get your rock pierced, everyone. It's not worth it.

Yeah, an infected rock, not good. Have you ever had a really bad infection? Yeah, I got a really bad infection in my elbow once from working out. I thought you were going to say something else. Nah, nah, nah. I was working out on dirty gym mats and I cut my elbow doing burpees and some stuff got in it and it started to go redder and redder and I kind of just left it.

You had an infected weenus. Yeah, I had an infected weenus. And one day I was squeezing the pus out of it. Out of your weenus? Out of my weenus and I passed out. And I went to the hospital and they said, yeah, yeah, I had to have intravenous antibiotics. And they said, if you didn't come in today,

you would have got blood poisoning. That is vile. And that's why we say on the show all the time, don't exercise. Infect your weenus. No, that's not. It's dangerous. That would have hurt.

Yeah, it'd hurt, yeah. Because there's not much meat on the weenus. Do we want to take infection stories? They're going to be a bit gross. No, I want to. Right, okay. And I mean, you know, it's one of those things where it's hard to look away, but you want to listen, you want to know.

Oh, 800 dials at M. Yeah. What got infected? And have you pierced your perineum? Yeah. Mainly the supplementary question. Yeah. Nah, give us your infection stories. You can text them too

on 9696 if you're too shamos to say it out loud on the radio. Hey, it's a safe space here for infection. Not in that way. No. But you know what I mean. Bree and Clint. There are some hectic stories coming in. Just a warning, if you don't like infection stories,

here's your chance to get away. Just for a little bit. Just for five minutes, okay? Yeah, four or five minutes. There's a woman who's talked about how she had to end up going to hospital for a number of weeks after her... Doc. Her rook. Oh, rook.

Her rook piercing, which is in her ear, got infected. It's so gross. The pictures are so gross. It looks like she nearly lost her ear. It looks like the side of her head is on fire. The worst infection I've ever had was when I was playing softball and I slid into a couple of, I think it was third base, and then slid into home on the same play.

Wait, is this a metaphor or actually in the sport? No, it's in the sport. Oh, right. Anyway, I grazed the side of my leg. Anyway, I grazed it so bad That it just wouldn't heal And I went to the doctor and he's like This is worse than third degree burns Yeah, because you've pushed the dirt into it

And it was so infected that my leg It looked like I had the biggest calf muscles you've ever seen Anyway, they put me in burns victim bandaging Really? Yes Oh man I've just remembered where some of the worst injuries happen It's at indoor netball courts.

Oh, yeah, the grass. Because the turf grates you up. And full of sweat. It's full of other people's sweat and bacteria. Tyler's caught up. Hey, Tyler. Hey, Tyler. Hey, yeah.

What's the infection? What got infected? My rock piercing, just like that girl. Oh, you got an infected rock too. Yeah. Rocky mistake. Yeah, besides childbirth, I'd say it's probably one of the worst infections

ever on your head. Anything with your ears, hey, just not good. And teeth and ears. Do you still have it pierced now or did you go, get that thing out of me? No, no, I managed to get on antibiotics and I kept it. Yeah, it's fine now.

Oh, good. Don't let a good old bit of blood poisoning keep you down, eh, Tyler? Yeah. Keep on keeping on. Take a few tablets and you get back on the horse. That's what I always say. Brooklyn's here. Hey, Brooklyn.

G'day, Brooklyn. What got infected? Oh, my leg. I got infected when we were having a few beers on the playground one night. I fell off and smoked my leg and then I went out jet skiing a couple of days later. Broccoli. I was infected. Broccoli.

You sound like Steve-O from Jackass. You're drinking on a playground, then you're out there water skiing. Jet skiing. How bad was it, Brooklyn? Like, I went to work for a few days, and then I ended up having to go to hospital, and they could put, like, a cotton bud right down to the bone. Oh, yuck, yuck, yuck, yuck, yuck, yuck, yuck. Oh, Brooklyn.

I would have thought the jet skiing would have flushed it out. I thought the salt water would get in there and clean it up. It was river water. You know that's a myth? Oh, yuck. That's a myth as well. They say salt water, not that great for a wound. That's actually a wife's tale.

Salt water, like ocean salt water. Oh, right. I was like, do you mean saline solution? Because we've got to tell the doctors. No, no, like ocean water. Someone on the text machine had a leg infection as well. They said, I got a cut on my leg when I was working in America. It looked gross and the nurse told me that I had to keep it covered at all times.

I did, but it grew five times the size of the cut. I then became really unwell and everyone thought I was being dramatic. I fainted and then they had to take me to hospital. They said wait here and they had to go get the emergency doctor. I was one day losing my leg, one day off losing my

leg apparently. That's hectic. That is. Yeah, human beings are weird. What did you get cut by? Yeah. What was in there? I don't know. Lacey's going to take us out. Lacey, what got infected? So I had a perianal abscess, which is next to my exit hole.

And it Do you say a perennial abscess? Perianal. Perianal. Oh yeah. She was in Little Mix wasn't she? But I ended up Getting a bloody It's called

Necrotizing fasciitis It's a Flesh eating disease Oh Whoa Yeah And so I went in On the hospital

The 25th of September Yeah Had surgery Within three hours Woke up the next day It was my birthday I was surrounded by doctors And they said

Hey mate You were like Today you could have died. Whoa, dude. A flesh-eating bacteria down there. Did you have something flesh-eating your bum hole? Yeah, basically. Whoa. Can I just ask, how did you do it, Lacey?

The doctors think it was from just a toilet that hadn't been cleaned properly. It was just a dirty toilet. But yeah, that was two years of recovery and nearly lost a leg and nearly lost my life and lost a big chunk of my butt cheek. Lacey. You're saying you can catch stuff off a toilet seat? Yeah. Oh, my God.

You definitely can. Wow. You don't put toilet paper down? Oh, no, you do. You don't nest? But you know all those cheating boyfriends who say, babe, I must have caught it off a toilet seat, you know? Yeah, yeah, exactly. Lacey might. No, it was pretty You don't nest? But you know all those cheating boyfriends who say, babe, I must have caught it off the toilet seat, you know? Yeah, yeah, exactly.

Lacey might. No, it was pretty serious. Yeah, Jesus. She's all right now. Yeah, good. Glad to hear it, Lacey. We're very glad to hear it. Glad you still have your leg and your butt cheeks.

Brie and Clint. And we were just talking about infections before someone's texted in and said, thanks for the pre-dinner conversation, guys. I'll be fasting this evening. Sorry. But unless you were trying to fast, then you're welcome. Yeah, well, look, if you're shredding for winter, winter fest. We're back to our regularly scheduled no infection chat.

Yeah, no infections for the rest of the show. Yeah, no rest of the show. Yeah, no infections. Well, I don't plan on talking about any. I can't guarantee that no one on the team has one. We've been talking recently about emergency stashes of cash. How much you keep for an emergency and where you keep it.

Not that kind of stash. A stash that you have on you. The cash stash. Your emergency cash. Yeah. For emergency situations. Does everyone have one of these? I don't think so. I don't think so. I think responsible people have one and also people who are constantly worried about bad things happening.

I need some cash just in case. The reason we talk about it is because your emergency cash dash is very visible. Yeah. It's in the back of my phone case. This is something I know I probably will always have and if I lose this then I'll probably have my wallet. So there's $20 in the back of Bree's phone and because you've got a clear case will always have. And if I lose this, then I'll probably have my wallet. So, you know.

So there's $20 in the back of Bree's phone. And because you've got a clear case, I can see it. I've got to tell you, it makes your phone more stealable. Because I might not be able to get into the phone, but at least I get $20. Yeah, because you're going to be like, ooh, $1,500 phone, but, oh, there's $20 in it. Yeah, well, you'll blacklist it.

I can't do that. You'll block it. But you can't block $20 cash. I also run $20, but I don't keep it in the phone. See? So yours is $20 as well then. Where do you keep it? In the glove box.

In the glove box? But what if you're not with your car? The car's always around. Because the phone, you've got PayWave now. No, I don't trust it. What? You don't trust PayWave? Don't trust it.

Do you not have PayWave activated? No. Oh, mate, get with the times. No, don't trust it. What? You don't trust PayWave? Don't trust it. Do you not have PayWave activated? No. Oh, mate, get with the times. No, don't trust that thing. Have you never walked into a shop and felt so superior just by holding your phone over the thing? I've never had the pleasure of being that much of a... Don't say it. Don't say it.

You know, the ones that get me now are people who pay for things with their smartwatch. Have you seen those people? Dude, you're the same. You pay with it with your phone. Nah, phone's next level. No, watch is next level. Because you're like, you're basically a robot at that stage because it's attached to your body.

Clint always does this kind of motion when he pays with his phone, like he's better than me. Like he's like, I'm better than everyone. And he like whips it out and then just like taps like this. Gives the clerk a look. Yeah, of course it works off Face ID id too so i literally look at it and it's like i'm sending a brain signal to the phone going your shout phone and then i hold the phone over it and then i'm just picturing um that guy on tiktok that always watches people do things in the hardest way and then just shows them a normal like you know you'd be there with your phone being like, eh?

No, no, no, this is easier. This is easier. No, you just had to unzip your whole wallet just then. And I can hear myself, so that's fine. What's the right amount? 20 bucks. I think it's 20 bucks. Do you think it's 20 bucks? I think it used to be a lot less.

It used to be five bucks, yeah. Five bucks? Yeah. They were the days. Yeah, yeah. Five bucks? Yeah. They were the days. Yeah, and then ten bucks. This is inflation, mate. This is a lesson in inflation. The hardest part is that living in New Zealand,

if you only have 20 bucks in your money stash, you're only going to be able to get like one-eighth of a litre of petrol. Or one tinny. Yeah, one tinny. Bree and Clint. All right, it's time for Google Down. Google, are you down, down, down, down, down, down, down? What the hell? I think Google's actually...

All right, it's the game that captures the nation once a week here at ZM. And it's called Google Down where we try and find out who is the fastest Googler within our team and you guys. The person who's called through to play this afternoon is Neven. Hello, mate. Hi. How are you? Good, how are you?

Good, thank you. You ready to Google? Ready. Excellent. What will you be Googling on this afternoon just to keep it fair? On my phone. Okay, great. We'll all use phones.

It's you versus me versus producer Anastasia versus Ben. G'day, mate. Producer Ben. You've got to talk. It's radio. I'm saving all my breaths for yelling out the answers. She's so focused. And speaking of yelling out the answer, even if you don't know,

these are the rules. I'm going to read out a question, which you will have to Google. Whatever is the most common answer that comes up first on Google for that question, you need to yell out. If you yell out the correct answer, you will get a point. If you yell out the wrong answer, you will be out of that question. Got it. You can have a guess at any point, but obviously if you get it wrong,

you will be out of that question. Everyone ready? Ready. Okay, question number one. When was Coca-Cola invented? 8 May 1886. Yeah, that's, yeah, in May 1886. In May 1886, yeah.

I said 8 May 1886. Neven? 1892. 8 May 1886. Neven? 1892. 8 May 86. 29 January 1892. Neven, I'm going to give it to you. It is the 29th of January. Oh, my gosh.

Really? That is what came up when I put that exact question into Google. So she's got it. I tried to cheat the system and I wrote when was Coke invented. Yeah. So I've just realised. It was the syrup the system and I wrote when was Coke invented. Yeah. So I've just realised. That was the syrup. Oh.

Yeah, that was the syrup. Oh. I thought it might be the nose beers. All right. No. Nevin's at the top. Good work, Nevin. Okay, question number two.

Who is the richest person in New Zealand? Graham Hart. Damn it. That is correct. Is that a guess? Yeah, I DJ'd his Christmas party once. That is such a name drop. Yeah.

You're going to pick up that $50 note you just dropped? Mate, if you DJ'd the richest man in New Zealand's Christmas party, you would bring it up once or twice in your radio career too. How much did you get paid? $500. Oh. What a cheap, rich human being. That's all I charged.

He's the richest guy in New Zealand. Didn't you think that was your opportunity? I didn't know that before I showed up to the mansion, okay? Idiot. Alarm bells went off after the fact. One to Clint and one to Nevin. What gave it away? Was it the 12-car garage?

It was the ballroom, actually. Yeah, I bet. Question number three. How many Grammys has Rihanna won? Heaps. Anyone? Eight. Eight. That is not what came up in my Google. I clicked on a link that says, how many Grammys do Rihanna got? Rihanna has won eight Grammy Awards. Now I'm confused. What if I click on do Rihanna have a Grammy? Nine. Nine. Nine.

What? Clint gets the point. What? It is nine. It's whatever Brie thinks it is is the correct answer. This is what comes up on my Google. It's nine. You're in charge of the game. Don't apologise. That's because you got the point. I checked under do Rihanna have a Grammy?

Me too. And it's nine. Two to Clint, one to Nevin. Here comes question number four. How old was Farlap when he died? How old was Farlap the horse? Two and a half, two years old, two. Clint's out.

I can tell you, now I have to work backwards. Clint is out. Five years old, too. Clint's out. I can tell you now I have to work backwards. Clint is out. Five-year-old. That's right, Anastasia. Nice work. You stuck with it. You kept your composure. This question has been so complicated and not come up with the right answer.

I tried to make it a bit harder. You've made this really difficult. Ben's out. Ben is out. One to Nevin, one to Anastasia, two to Clint. Here we go. Question number five. What year was the movie Pitch Perfect released?

What year was the movie? 2012. I'm going to have to give it to Anastasia. Just, just. What a load of BS. Here we go. You're the man who stole my phone last week. Question number six.

Come on, Neven. How many days are there till Christmas? How many days? 227. That's right. Neven, it means so much to Anastasia. It does. And you know what, Neven?

You got one. You get the KFC chicken dollars, but Anastasia, you get your dignity back. I'm just Googling how to speak English after that. It's been a really lovely last nearly week for me because my mum's been here visiting. Yeah. It's so nice to have her around. Is she washing and folding your undies?

No, she's not. She has cooked a few times though, which I very much appreciate. Dream situation, yes. But she's loving it. She's been watching heaps of TV, relaxing. She's on holiday. Our puppy Whitney's been sleeping in her bed. She's having a great time.

But last night, because we went out for a bit and then we came home and we all decided we'd get pizza because we couldn't be bothered cooking. So we all ordered pizza. And then I've just turned the television on and a show was on TV that I've watched many times before and probably a lot of people listening have watched called Naked Attraction. I watched this last week. It's too much for me. If you haven't seen the show, it starts with six people and they're all in boxes and they're all completely naked

and slowly the box lifts revealing one part of the body, the next part of the body and the next part of the body. Yeah. Everything is revealed. Everything. Everything gets revealed. You see it all. Yeah. part of the body and the next part of the body yeah everything is revealed everything everything gets revealed you see it all yeah um i don't think my mum had seen the show before uh and let's just say it was all men that were being revealed and i recorded her reaction uh here it is. Oh! Terrible!

Oh! Oh! Look, the rest of it, whatever they show after that, must look better, mustn't it? Is this on TV? Oh! I don't like the skinny legs. Oh!

Oh! Yeah, I don't like his... He's got skinnier legs Is that what you're looking at? Honestly Really? You find this entertaining? He's alright

She's getting into it To her credit She was grossed out at first She's getting into it Oh she acted like She was all shocked And not into it But she sat there

And she watched the whole episode The show's really inclusive I've watched it before. It's great. And the last episode I watched was this lady, she was only like her early 60s, divorced. She said she'd been through a sexual reawakening and she was there.

Good for her. Yeah, good for her. And she was describing the exact shape, size, length, colour of the thingy that she wanted and she knew what she wanted. They go into really intricate details. And let's just say I'm pretty sure my mum learnt a few things last night watching the show. Is she happy with what she's got?

Look, I didn't ask her that question. This story might make a few people angry because it's about a man who spent a lot of money on an engagement ring. Right. Which he gave to his fiancée. Yes. At first, she was excited. She loved it.

Apparently, the ring was a 3.6 carat diamond. Is that... That's good, eh? That's a big diamond. Yeah, good, good, good. That's a large stone. Yeah. Well, in my opinion, it is. Yeah. That's pretty big eh? That's a big diamond. That's a large stone. Well, in my opinion, it is.

That's pretty big. Anyway, she loved it. Obviously, it looked great. She's like, yep. And then she got a little bit suspicious because she said, oh, how much did you spend on the ring? And he said, oh, I spent $27,000. Oh, $27,000 on a ring?

On the ring. Whoa. What's he trying to prove? He said he'd been saving for 10 years. That's what he wanted to do. But it's when she asked, because she got a little bit suspicious because she was like a 3.6 carat ring, 27. That doesn't add up.

It's not enough. Is it not? It's 27 grand, not enough. That's what this story says. That's so much money. That's enough for a Suzuki Swift Sport. Yeah, the turbo one. Yeah.

With the Apple CarPlay. So she asked to see the diamond's receipt. Receipt. And he showed it to her, and that's when she realised that the diamond was a lab-grown diamond. Oh, okay. And it wasn't a natural stone. The other new thing.

Yes. And he said he wanted to buy, I mean, he spent $27, okay. And it wasn't a natural stone. The other new thing. Yes. And he said he wanted to buy, I mean, he spent $27,000. It's a lot of money. Yeah, yeah. But he wanted to buy a lab-grown diamond because the thought of getting a blood diamond or, you know, anything like that, he just couldn't live with it. You don't have to mine them. They're way more, like, environmentally friendly.

Yeah. I mean, I don't know if I'd buy one. It's not a good ad. No, look, here's the thing, Brie. I'd never have to buy... Cubic zirconia is the way, I think. Really? I mean, as if you can tell the difference. Just find out what your partner wants.

Because here's the thing. Here's the thing. And I tell you this as a married man. While the demands for what your partner might want for a ring might be a bit, and mine wasn't what your partner might want for a ring might be a bit, and mine wasn't, but it might be for you, just remember they have to wear that thing on their finger for the rest of their life.

I mean, yeah, stuff getting a ring. I'm not proposing with a ring. Oh, really? No, I'm going to propose with a Shetland pony. You know what they say. Why not? Break the mould. You know what they say.

Shetland ponies are forever. And they're very romantic. If I know Shetland ponies. Yeah. How do you know you're not getting a conflict Shetland pony? Didn't Leonardo DiCaprio make that movie about the Shetland pony, the blood pony? Oh, yeah, blood pony.

Blood pony. That is a grim movie, isn't it? That is a very grim. Big pony, though. Grim movie, blood pony. $27,000 on a ring, though. It's a lot, in my opinion. Can she go and get what she wants?

Because surely she can get the ring she wants for $27,000. So he said he's putting his foot down and said, no, I don't want a diamond that isn't a lab-grown diamond because I don't feel comfortable with it. Anyway, they've had a bit of a fight. Looks like the engagement's off. Yeah, I was going to say This relationship is off To a terrible start

Terrible start $27,000 on a ring Too much It's a red flag to me Too much Unless he's bloody Unless he's Who's a rich guy

But I mean Unless he's one of Migos I just think What's the point You know What are you trying to prove I'd be scared I'd be so scared

About walking around With that thing, getting caught on something. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I want to ask people this afternoon, to be honest, I want to know how much people are spending on engagement rings. Okay. How much is yours worth?

How much did you spend on a ring? Yeah. If you can contribute this afternoon, we'd love to hear from you. What's our entry level? What's our number we want to start with? No, I think, well, number we want to start with? I think everything and anything. I'd love to hear from anyone.

Doesn't matter if you spent $2 or you spent $200,000. $200,000? You know, I knew someone. I knew this girl and her ring was worth $100,000. Was it J-Lo? It was so big, it blinded me. Yeah.

Yeah. 0800 dial ZM or you can text us on 9696. How much was the engagement ring worth? You can either get it given to you or you can bought it yourself. How much did you spend on the engagement ring? Or how much was the ring that you got given? Yeah. We take stories from either side.

Don't get intimidated, by the way. If you're looking at purchasing the ring this weekend, it's personal. What's the rule they used to say where it's like all three months? Oh, it's ridiculous. Three months salary. Three months salary? Yeah.

That's crazy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What are you meant to do for the three months? Not eat? You're meant to save it up over more than three months. But it's meant to be tantamount to three months salary. I mean, what would you be happy with if someone was going to propose to you, Clint? What would you be happy with?

I wear my dad's old ring. No, but I'm saying what would you be happy with? Someone gave you the ring and because you would be like... Okay, look. I'm not... And no offence if you've got one. I don't like a flashy man's ring. I don't... A flashy man's ring? Like men who have got a ring that's got a bit of bling to it.

I just... I don't mind it. Really? Show off a little bit. I mean, yeah, no offence. It's not for me. Yeah, fair enough. Let's find out how much your ring was. Nathan's here. Hi, Nathan. G'day, Nath. G'day, guys.

I actually called up to tell you how much a three-carat costs because it's crazy. Okay, how much is a three-carat diamond? A natural three-carat diamond arrived in store yesterday, $105,000. Whoa.

Okay, so, yeah, the 27K. Yeah, this one said it was 3.6 carats. So you're getting your partner a three-carat ring. Is that right, Nathan? Oh, look, she can dream. She can dream. Okay, how much is the ring you're going to get her? It's $20,000.

It's three stone. It's two carat. That's a lot of money. You work at the jewellery store. What's your staff discount? How much are you getting it for? You'd love to know. No, I want to know.

No, we would. That's why we're asking. Maybe 50% off? for? You'd love to know. No, I want to know. No, we would. That's why we're asking. Maybe 50% off? Yeah, you better get her a $20,000 ring. I need to make friends with someone that works in a jewellery store. Yeah, you wouldn't even mind, eh?

At that stage. You wouldn't care they got it half off. Mark's here. Hi, Mark. Hi, Mark. G'day, guys. How are you? Good, thanks. Was it you that bought the ring, Mark? It was kind of both of us. We both put in half and a half. Oh, that's very modern. Yeah, that's cool.

Yeah. Okay. And so what was the grand total once you'd put in your half and they'd put in their half? How much was the ring? $23,500. Oh! Wow.

Whoa. There's a tone in your voice. Did the relationship work out? Yes, we're still married today. Oh, you are? Our one year anniversary next week. Oh, congratulations. That's incredible.

$3,000. Okay. Thanks very much, Mark. Let's go to Anonymous. Hello, Anonymous. Hi. Anonymous. Who's buying the ring?

It wasn't a ring. It wasn't a ring. It wasn't my ring. It was a ring for my mum. She was with, she shipped out with quite a rich man and got a $100,000 ring. You're kidding. Engagement ring? Yeah, engagement ring.

They never got married, but yeah. Did she keep it? Did she get to keep the ring? She really wore it. Sorry? Did she get to keep the ring? She never wore it. Sorry? Did she get to keep the ring? She did, yeah. Oh!

Wow! What has she done with it? Does she ever wear it or does it sit in a drawer? I'm trying to say, she never wears it because it's so big and shiny and she's always scared that someone's going to chop it off. Have you tried it on? It doesn't fit me, but yeah, one day. Have you ever thought about stealing it? Oh, that would be the ring. It doesn't fit me, but yeah, one day. Have you ever thought about stealing it?

Oh, that'd be the dream. I'm an only child, so I'm sure I'll get it one day. Yeah, you're going to inherit it. Oh, true. Just bide your time, anonymous. Just tell your partner that's the ring you want when they propose, and all they have to do is go and crack the safe. Yeah.

$100,000. That's incredible. That's amazing. There's someone on the text machine that can top that. They said, I'm buying my partner a $1.4 million custom diamond ring from Tiffany's worth every cent. Are you serious? Is that for real?

Is that for real? There's a lot of detail in that text message. I want to try and call that person. We'll see if we can get them back. That's too much. You think? That's too much. That's where I draw the line. You could buy if we can get them back. That's too much. What? You think? That's too much. That's where I draw the line.

One million dollars. You could buy a two-bedroom apartment in Auckland for that. Four minutes. Bree and Clint. Hey. It's my birthday. It's my birthday. Bree and Clint's Birthday Banger.

Not a Daryl Braithwaite horses fan. People are angry on the text machine. I'd love to see any Aussies out there that are my fellow Australians

living here but calling New Zealand home. Was that good for you? Text 9696. That was exclusively for you guys. That was, yeah. Just one time and then never again. Oh, I wanted to play this. No, you didn't. Just one time and then never again. Oh, this, I wanted to play this.

No, you didn't. Don't try and back out of it now because Ross Boss is standing outside the studio. I personally tried to fight for this track. Bree told me I had to choose

Daryl Braithwaite. Bree and Clint. Okay, this is interesting. I've asked you to go and look at your Facebook and tell me how many friends you've got.

How many Facebook friends? Because there's a study that has been Facebook and tell me how many friends you've got. How many Facebook friends? Because there's a study that has been done that talks about how many friends human beings can have. There's a limit. You and I talk, yeah, there is a limit. You're like top eight on MySpace. Kind of, yeah. You and I talked about this before the show and it's sort of down to the thing of

spreading yourself too thin. You might think that you've got hundreds and hundreds of friends, but you don't have time to hang out with hundreds and hundreds of people. You just don't. And I was thinking about this in the car where I'm like, I wonder what the right amount of, you know, close friends are where you can actually give enough of your energy and time to those people. Yeah, yeah.

Because I hate, you know, having so many friends and then you feel bad because you just don't have time to hang out with them. So who did you decide to cull? Is it me? You were one. Yeah, good. That's good because I'm pretty busy too. Okay, good.

Just put me on ice. We, you know. Hibernate me. Okay, sweet. I'll do that. Come back to me. Give me some time. That feature on Facebook just snooze me for 30 days.

Okay, I need you to bear with me because there's a bit of information here. So in 1993, a British anthropologist theorized that human beings could have no more than 150 meaningful relationships. That's it. You can only have 150 proper relationships. Including family? Yes. It's including family. It's including friends. It's including workmates that you would invite over for dinner. Meaningful relationships, the way to define it, people that you know well enough that you would greet them

and talk to them without feeling awkward if you ran into them at an airport. That's it. So you wouldn't just be like, oh, hey, I've got to go, but hey, good to see you. We should catch up sometime. Yeah. But we're never going to catch up.

That's not a meaningful relationship. It's, oh my God, it's you. Sit down. How Sue, how are the girls? Wasn't it Isabella's birthday the other day? Yeah. You know intricate details. So the number ranges from 100 to 250.

How many you can have depending on you specifically, but the average is 150. At birth, you can maintain one or two friendships. This is where it gets really interesting. What, a baby's busy? Well, no, they can only bond with mum. I'm just kidding. Or mum or dad, which is rough if you've had twins, you know.

They've got to choose. Your friendships peak in your late teens and early 20s. That's when you can have the most, which makes sense, right? That's when you're the most social. Social butterfly. By your 30s, people tend to have, that's when they have about 150 close connections with people.

That number stays flat at 150 until you reach your 60s and early 70s and then the number starts going back down. And this is where it gets really interesting. That's not because people are dying. Yeah. It's because your connections start dropping off and you don't make new ones. Yeah.

How grim is that point in your life? That's not 60s. You begin to isolate. No, no, no, no, no. That's when it starts to drop off. And if you live long enough. Oh, my God. Yeah.

I've just had the thought. You know, when you go through different stages in life, first there's the 21st birthdays that you have to go to. Yeah. Then there's everyone's 30th. Yeah. And then you're attending weddings all the time and then you go into heaps of baby showers. Yeah. And then. Kids weddings. Kids weddings. And then you're going to get to the stage where you just go into heaps of funerals. That's a real thing. That's absolutely a real thing. I know, that's what I mean. So it says if you live long enough,

your close relationships will go all the way back to one or two. Just like it was when you were born. You effectively go back to, yeah, so. How many Facebook friends you got? Too many. Hold on to them. You're going to need them.

I hope so. I don't know half of them No I don't know Who half of the people are either Probably three quarters of them The race is on worldwide To get the population Vaccinated right Here in New Zealand

We're moving along At a classic New Zealand pace It's like Oh yeah bro We'll get round to it We'll get there Yeah I'm not busy today

But um Maybe we'll vaccinate you tomorrow. Oh, they're doing all right. They're starting to ramp it up now. Are they? Have you got a vaccination? I'm still waiting to hear. Here's some vaccination news from how other countries are doing it.

A COVID-19 vaccination centre has been set up at Dracula's Castle in Transylvania, Romania. No, thank you. Is that a real place? Yeah, Dracula's castle is a real place. Never mind. What? I'm just going to say Dracula wasn't a real person.

What? Well, there's a book that's based on a man who lived in a real castle. And that's the castle? It's the real castle. It's called Bran Castle in Transylvania. No. And they've set it up as a COVID-19 vaccination centre. No, why would you do that?

Can I just say, I'm not falling for that one, Dracula. Good try. Ah, ha, ha, ha. Good try, Dracula. Every weekend throughout May, this is where he's really going hard. Vaccination marathons will be held in the 14th century Hilltop Castle where no appointment is needed. Ah, ah, ah, ah.

Just show up. The more, the merrier. Ah, ah, ah, ah. We'll take care of everything else. Come on in. Lay down in these lovely, comfy coffin beds we've made. They said we wanted to show people a different way to get the vaccination. I'm assuming that different way is through a bite to the neck

in which he withdraws the COVID susceptible blood and fills you up with his Dracula blood which can't catch COVID. He's been around since the 14th century. He's survived multiple pandemics. He's so immune to everything. Yeah, he got

through everything. Can I ask just before we get into the other details, have you guys realised when did vampires become sexy? Like Dracula was never sexy. No. He was scary. Yes. Kind of a bit awkward. Yeah. But then all of a sudden, vampires, sexiest humans on earth. You had Edward Cullen. Yeah. You had all the Cullen family. You know who did it, eh?

Brad Pitt. Interview with a vampire. Brad Pitt's a vampire? No, he did that movie, Interview with a Vampire. I haven't seen it. I've only seen the vampire diaries. I haven't seen it either. I haven't seen it either. I've seen Buffy.

But I don't want to get sucked in. Buffy the Vampire Slayer. There's so many hot vampires. Were the vampires in Buffy hot? Yeah, they were... No, they were creepy. But were they hot? I mean, but Buffy was hot.

Yeah, she was hot. Yeah, she was a babe. What app do you think vampires are on to find out the vampires? Drainer. Sucker. Or just good old Grindr, to be honest. There are some gay vampires out there. Yeah, there's a lot of people up late on Grindr,

and we all know, you know, vampires and night owls. They're nocturnal, totally. Yeah, there you go. That's just a warning. If you want to go, it's completely up to you. Didn't stop Bella, but if I was you, I would steer clear of it. Didn't stop Bella. Brian Clint, back in a minute.

Bree and Clint. Last night, I had the pleasure of gracing the stage at the New Zealand Comedy Festival. You had it go, by the way. Yeah, it was fun. Heaps of fun. Some amazing, talented people who do some cool stuff on social media. We all did a show together.

So it was cool. Not all the pressure on one person thank god did you guys talk about twitter yeah lots of chat about twitter and bibo yeah mainly mainly bibo oh i wish i'd come along those are my passions yeah exactly you would have loved it um but it was the thing that happened to me just before i went on stage uh that i want to talk about right because i was quite nervous i always get quite nervous before going on stage and I was like, oh, I need to run to the bathroom real quick. Nervous pee?

Nervous wee. And scooted to the bathroom, which was in the main part of Q Theatre. Yeah. And, yeah, went into the cubicle and I was in a rush. I was in a rush. I was frantic, pretty nervous. I've closed the door, you know, was doing my thing. And then as I was standing up, like literally standing up from the toilet,

I was in like, you know, probably mid-flight. Oh, yeah, you're half cocked. Half cocked, so to speak. Probably shouldn't have said that. And this old woman flings the door open as I'm literally mid-flight. Oh, no. Like. Were you wearing skinny jeans as well?

I was wearing skinny jeans. Oh, no. Which are quite hard to pull up in a hurry, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Anyway, so the most awkward part about it is normally in that situation, because that's happened to everyone. Were you done? Yes, I was at that point, thank God.

But everything. You weren't like rising off the seat to wipe or something? No, but all my pants were like down. I had not even pulled my pants up yet. And we've all been in that situation before. But you know when you're in that, you literally, if you're the person that's walked in on someone, the first thing you do is what?

Oh, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry. And you close the door. Yeah. This woman. No, Jo. I was standing there. She just makes full-on eye contact with me. Yeah.

And I was looking at her and she was looking at me. And then she just stood there. What? And I just stood there, full bottom, out for everyone to see. Yeah. And then we had full-on eye contact for about two or three seconds. Yeah. And then she looked down.

I was like, what the hell is going on? Do you think she was waiting for you to pull your pants up and get off so she could use the toilet? I don't know. I don't know what she was waiting for. Well, you're clearly done. I think she was trying to figure out. She was like, is this girl, is she 12 or is she 30?

I don't know how old she is. She was just full deer in the headlights. It was the most bizarre experience I've ever had. It sucks for you guys because if there's a man situation, you just pee on them. Just pew. Get out of here. Pew, pew.

Anyway, that lady and I are engaged.
