Starting point is 00:00:41 And I'm not joking, the game sold out in two and a half minutes, I reckon. You got tickets yesterday. Why are you trying to buy more tickets? You're going to do some scalping. No, some of our friends then jumped on board and they were like, why didn't you get tickets for us? Oh, bandwagon supporters. Not like me and you.
Starting point is 00:00:57 Not like us, day ones. I'm so excited to be there. Can you imagine? It's going to be electric because no matter what happens, this will be the last game in the country. Yeah, correct. Yeah, so if they win, they'll be in Australia. And if they lose, let's not talk about it.
Starting point is 00:01:13 They're not going to lose. They're not going to lose. Let's not talk about it. Newcastle is going down. Can I just say I'm a great asset to a corporate box if anyone's looking to fill a space this weekend at Mount Smart Stadium. Here we bloody go. I've got the latest jersey.
Starting point is 00:01:25 I'm ready to go. Here we go. Up the waz. Let's go, everybody. We've got our chance to play the $25,000 cash catch up at 4 o'clock today. You can play with us and win a whole bunch of money. Yesterday we gave away $420-odd. Yeah, we gave away a bunch of money.

Starting point is 00:03:11 Oh, right. Oh. So she was just visiting. Yeah. For nine months. Back in the day, they had an army hospital there, and I was one of the lucky ones to be born down there. I imagine it to be a tent, that hospital.
Starting point is 00:03:24 And let's just keep that image there. I just picture it to be what it was on MASH, the TV show. Yeah, that's what I was thinking.

Starting point is 00:05:48 You did him proud, mate. You did him proud. It was a bloody good game. Bree and Clint. I want to talk just briefly about your greatest phobia this afternoon. I'd rather not talk about it because then when we talk about it, people then send me photos of my phobia and I really don't appreciate it.
Starting point is 00:06:07 Don't do that to Bree. Don't send her pictures of trypophobia. I will be completely honest with you here and say that during this break, I am going to show you a picture of small repeating holes, which is trypophobia, but I can't tell you when. Okay, I'll just tell you. I'll show you. That makes it even worse. Why can I'll just tell you. I'll show you at some point. That makes it even worse.
Starting point is 00:06:26 Why can't you just show it to me? We get it over with. Everyone has a laugh about how awkward it makes me feel. Yeah. Well, it'll come at some stage. Oh, I feel yuck. I feel yuck. Where is it?
Starting point is 00:06:37 Trypophobia is the fear of small repeating holes, isn't it? That's what it is. Focus on me. I can't now. Focus on me. I can't now. Focus on me. Okay. It's little holes. Yes, it is.
Starting point is 00:06:50 Little holes. It causes feelings of repulsion, as you can hear. Disgust. And some people it causes itching, like makes their skin crawl. All these things happen to me. And nausea. It makes me feel so sick.
Starting point is 00:07:05 Trypophobia can happen in adults and children as young as four years old. Did you know kids can have this weird phobia that you've got? I've had this since I was a kid. And I never knew what it was. Like, I was like, why does this make me feel this way? And it wasn't until about 10 years ago that a friend of mine also had it. And she goes, oh, it's this. And I was like, oh, my God, it's an actual phobia.
Starting point is 00:07:26 Between 10 and 15% of people worldwide suffer from trypophobia. That's quite a lot. It's quite a lot. I'm not alone. For something that sounds made up. People think that it's a joke. I'm afraid of tiny holes. People think that it's a joke. People think I'm making this up. It makes me
Starting point is 00:07:42 feel physically ill. Why is the question I want to answer this afternoon. What causes trypophobia? Trust issues. Trust issues, yeah. Maybe you weren't good at Super Mario Brothers. You have to go down those pipes, those tiny holes. Do, do, do, do, do, do, do.
Starting point is 00:07:58 Like that. No, that's not it, weirdly enough. I'm itchy. I'm itchy. When are you going to show it to me? I'll show it at some point during this break, okay. There's a theory that it's a... I'm itchy. When are you going to show it to me? I'll show it at some point during this break, okay? There's a theory that it's an evolutionary defence mechanism that some people have carried through,
Starting point is 00:08:11 like from before people... But defence of what? They reckon there's a lot of poisonous or venomous creatures that have trypophobic features. Like, for example, the cluster of eyes on a tarantula. Oh, yuck. That gives people trypophobia. The blue-ringed octopus has it in its suckers.
Starting point is 00:08:32 Yeah, I don't like that either. Crumpets. So they reckon it could be like a thing inside you. To be like danger. Stay away, danger. But you're right, it doesn't explain why you're so freaked out by a picture of a crumpet, does it? God, I hate crumpets. Oh, it makes my face
Starting point is 00:08:48 itchy. Yeah, it's weird, eh? And that was the moment that I showed Bree the trypophobia. Why? No. Why that one? Why that one? For maximum impact. It's not even real, that one. It's not real. It's not real. It's not real. It's not real.
Starting point is 00:09:05 It's not real. It's not real. Guys, it's the hand full of holes. It's not real. Yeah. It's not real. It's gone now. Don't worry about it.
Starting point is 00:09:11 Oh, thank God. It's full on. It's full on, eh? Full on. I feel so sick. It's gone now. You're safe. You're in a safe place.
Starting point is 00:09:21 People think I'm such, like, what's the word? What's the word? A hypochondriac? No, not a hypochondriac. A pussy? No. People think I'm such an over-exaggerator. But people who have this know, like my skin is crawling.
Starting point is 00:09:40 Yeah. So not a hypochondriac, an over-exaggerator. Yeah. Okay. Which I mean, that's probably right. Our 100 dials it in. We want to know this afternoon, what's your phobia? Like Bree, who's got a fear of tiny holes, what's yours?
Starting point is 00:09:53 What are you afraid of? What's your thing? And you tell people and they're like, oh, that's a bit strange. Like for me, we all know mine. You've got weird ones. Mine is old fruit. Used fruit. Can I say?
Starting point is 00:10:04 Fruit that someone else has opened. I feel like yours is weirder than mine. A pre-prepared fruit salad is my idea of hell on earth. I can eat fruit salad, but I need to make it, and I need to make it now. I'm 100% going to bring in a banana peel tomorrow. No. Because I feel like that's fair.
Starting point is 00:10:20 You showed me the picture of the holes. I throw a banana peel at you. You and my wife, she throws them at me And I'm married to that woman Be brave and share with us your phobia this afternoon We won't laugh We'll be fascinated to hear about it We'd love to hear about it
Starting point is 00:10:35 We were just talking about the causes of breeze phobia, trypophobia And we got a lot of texts from people who are trypophobic Saying please, Clint. Stop talking about it. Stop talking about it. If you don't know what it is, it's the fear of a cluster of holes. Oh, now who's talking about it? No.
Starting point is 00:10:55 I'm just, I'm so on edge. Like, I feel like you guys are going to show me another picture. Okay. Can I ask, with trypophobia, you know those videos of people who put the blackhead strips on their nose? Oh, yuck! And then they pull out multiple blackheads that you can't look at that? No, I hate it.
Starting point is 00:11:09 Yeah, well. I hate it so much. So let's not talk about that one. Let's talk about other phobias that people have. What are you afraid of? What are you so afraid of, Mel? What is it for you? Well, like Bree, I've got the same one.
Starting point is 00:11:20 So that sent me through high anxiety driving. It's horrible, isn't it, Mel? I didn't even show you the photo that I showed. No, no, I know the one you showed her. Let's not talk about it. Let's not talk about it. I can feel it in my chest. Do you have another one?
Starting point is 00:11:34 Yeah. So, you know, the green scours you wash the dishes with? Yes. Yeah. Scouring head. Brand new. Can't touch them. Make me want to vomit.
Starting point is 00:11:44 I just heard you gag. Yeah. I just heard you gag. Yeah. I just heard you gag talking about it. Yeah, so those, no. Once they're wet, fine, but they need to be soaked up. So wait, once they're wet, you're okay, but if they're not wet, not okay. I can't open the packet, I can't touch it. You know you can live without them, eh?
Starting point is 00:12:02 I don't even own one and I'm fine. But they're really good for cleaning. Can't live without a scrub daddy. Get into a scrub daddy. You can get them on a handle now. Mel, can I ask you, because you know what really does it for me, that I'm just like, it makes me gag, is a microfiber towel. I can't touch it.
Starting point is 00:12:22 When they stick to your hands. Yeah, it makes your skin feel like it's covered in hooks. Yeah. Okay, thanks, Mel. Let's talk to Marnie. Hi, Marnie. Hi, Marnie. G'day.
Starting point is 00:12:32 You're in a safe place. No one can hurt you. What's your phobia? Oh, God. Okay. Sunflowers. Sunflowers. Why?
Starting point is 00:12:40 For the same reason as Brie? With the tiny holes in it? Oh, maybe. I've never ever thought of it like that. I just cannot look at them. I cannot go near them. I don't look at flower shops or any good bunches of flowers in case there's a sunflower. They just freak me out.
Starting point is 00:12:56 Wow. They are intimidatingly tall, a sunflower. Yeah. God, imagine what sunflower season, spring I'm assuming. I'd say so. It'd just be hell for you, Marnie. Oh, it is. Yeah. Yep, imagine what sunflower season, spring I'm assuming, would just be hell for you, Marnie. Oh, it is, yeah. Yep.
Starting point is 00:13:08 Terrifying. Do you remember from the 90s those dancing sunflowers you could get with the sunglasses and you'd push the button and it would play a song and the sunflower would dance? Well, don't set Marnie off. Yeah, I'm thinking of that now. Not cool, not cool. Sorry, Marnie.
Starting point is 00:13:21 I did say this was a safe place. Turns out I lie a lot. Not so much. Not so much. Thanks so much. I need to read out a few texts before we move on. Someone said, I have a phobia of driving up steep and narrow driveways. The fear is that the car will fall backwards.
Starting point is 00:13:39 Oh, wow. I would have thought it was just you're scared of clipping the wing mirrors or something. Bathmophobia. Is it real? Apparently. Okay. Someone else said,
Starting point is 00:13:46 my dear friend has a phobia of labels in her clothing. Weirdest thing ever. She has to get someone to cut them off before she wears them. She's actually terrified. Wow. Okay. What about the real long label? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:00 You know? Inside jeans a lot of the time. And it just scratches you? Too much information, man. No one needs that much information about their clothing. Edie's called up. I know 800 dials at him. Hi, Edie.
Starting point is 00:14:10 Hi, Edie. Howdy, team. What's your phobia? Yours is good. So I have a fear of people eating cherry tomatoes too close to me in case the juice spritz into my ear. Your ear specifically? Yeah, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:14:26 I just cannot have them to the side. Not your eye or your face? This has to be past trauma. Let's analyse this. This has to be past trauma. You're probably at school. Someone was having some cherry tomatoes and boom. Probably, yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:40 And I can't remember the actual moment happening, but it's just become a trauma for me. Well, you've blocked it out because, I mean, how horrible to go through that. I know. Imagine it. Can you eat a cherry tomato? Yes, but I chopped them in half. So they can't burst.
Starting point is 00:14:55 I was about to say. Oh, my God. I was about to say, Edie, good time to have that phobia because cherry tomatoes are so expensive. Oh, yeah, this is the time of year. Yeah, they are. This is the good time of year. Thanks, Edie. One more from Navindra. Hi, Navindra.
Starting point is 00:15:08 Hi, Navindra. Hi. What's your phobia? So I have a phobia of people dressed as rabbits. God, Easter time would be not good for you. Rabbits specifically? Can you do a Playboy bunny?
Starting point is 00:15:27 Playboy bunny is fine. So, sexy rabbits are okay. You're fine with a sexy rabbit? Yeah, and I'm fine with regular rabbits. I own a rabbit. Okay. Bugs Bunny? Yeah, there's something.
Starting point is 00:15:40 Bugs Bunny is fine because he is a rabbit. It's the idea of somebody, like, just actively dressed as a rabbit Navendra, what are your thoughts On the furry community Because that would just not be for you Yeah I don't personally partake
Starting point is 00:15:58 But Because it would terrify you because you have a fear Navendra doesn't want to yuck someone else's yum I can hear it in her voice Or Navendra said, oh, but they can dress up as dogs. It's just rabbits. It's just rabbits. Okay. Thanks, Navendra.
Starting point is 00:16:12 It's complex, but there's things generally are. It's so interesting, hey, how the brain works. Someone else texted through and said, I have a fear of anything touching my sternum. I cannot cope. Okay. Sternum's a weird, vulnerable place on your body.
Starting point is 00:16:31 I'm absolutely terrified of plain old garden gnomes. Yeah, they are a bit creepy. Someone else said, I'm terrified of peach fur. Yeah. What about, tell them what you said earlier. Yeah. How you don't wash off the fur. No, I never wash it off, no. That person would be freaked out by that.
Starting point is 00:16:46 And my favourite text of all, I have a phobia of Bowdoin Barrett constantly kicking the ball away and then losing us the Rugby World Cup. After Saturday, we all do. We all have a fear of that. Yeah, that's quite a reality. It's valid. Your feelings are valid. What are the name of the biggest
Starting point is 00:17:01 complainers in the world? Well, obviously, very famously in the last five years or so, Karen. The name Karen has got a lot of heat, and people always say that Karens are the complainers. Turns out, wrong. Turns out, not Karen at all. And Karens have been complaining about this for ages. You leave Karens alone.
Starting point is 00:17:24 They've been complaining about the fact that we've been calling them the world's biggest complainers. It's a vicious cycle. It was just the name they gave to the person that complains to the manager. And unfortunately, the name Karen got thrown under the bus. And the haircut. Turns out it's not Karen at all. According to new data from review website Trustpilot, so you can go and review all kinds of things
Starting point is 00:17:47 like products and services and you just put a review up there and say whether it's good or bad. Where people usually just say bad stuff. Yeah. How often do people go onto things to write a good review? It'd be way less. Do you know, embarrassingly, I'm a
Starting point is 00:18:04 Google reviewer. I enjoy writing a Google review. Here we go. And I will write positive reviews. I reckon I write 80% positive. You have to really piss me off for me to permanently post a negative review. You're like, don't make me because I will. I have that power at my fingertips.
Starting point is 00:18:19 But I have. Don't think I won't because I have. According to Trustpilot, the biggest keyboard warriors, so they've gone on there, they've searched the names that have given the most one-star reviews. And the name associated with the most one-star reviews? David. David.
Starting point is 00:18:38 David. It's not Karen at all. David's, since the website launched in 2007, there have been 20,020 one-star reviews published by David's, since the website launched in 2007, there have been 20,021 star reviews published by David's. Do you think it's because David is such a common name? So it's more likely that there will be people with the name David, hence the percentage goes up. Quite possibly. All of the names that are in the top 15 are all very common lists.
Starting point is 00:19:04 What else is in the top? Interestingly, only two female names in the entire top 15. Yeah, we like to do it face to face. You like to do it real passive aggressively? Yeah, we like to do it in person where we can see their reaction. You guys like to write things like, nice salad, dot, dot, dot. So here we go. Let's go through them.
Starting point is 00:19:23 From 15 to 1, the top complainers. Alex. Okay, that could be. That actually could be male or female. Male or female. Emma. Emma. Sam.
Starting point is 00:19:33 Richard. Richard. What a dick. Peter. Andrew. Michael. Steve. Sarah.
Starting point is 00:19:43 James. This is the top five. Mark, Chris, John, this is the top five, Mark, Chris, John, Paul, and David. Oh, no. It's like the Bible, eh? It's like the 12 apostles, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. They're all in there. A thousand years ago, this isn't how we did it.
Starting point is 00:19:59 This is not how we bloody did it. 2,000 years ago. I mean, 2,000. I was thinking New Testament. Yeah. Yeah did it. 2,000 years ago. I mean, 2,000. I was thinking New Testament. Yeah. Yeah. That started 2,000. I was thinking BC.
Starting point is 00:20:11 You're the worst Catholic ever. I've recently gotten back from a two-week holiday over in Europe, and I also went to the UK. And my first time ever. Famously also in Europe. Famously also in Europe. Famously also in Europe. My first time ever, obviously. And I had a really special moment when I was over there
Starting point is 00:20:33 because I made a friend in Australia 13 years ago. A girl named Dani who was actually living in Australia. She was from London, living in Australia on like her kind of, I don't know, OE, but it was like for a year. So you weren't at school? No, no, no. This was after school. And we became friends 13 years ago and probably like knew each other
Starting point is 00:20:58 and hung out probably for six months and then she moved back home to London. Yep. Anyway, since that day 13 years ago, we have kept in touch across social media or from time to time. We'd check in on each other and just have remained friends across social media. Yeah, but not in person. Not in person.
Starting point is 00:21:16 No, I have not seen her in 13 years. And when I was in London, I thought may as well send her a message, see if she's around, might catch up with her. It would be weird if you didn't because imagine the next time she sees your Instagram, she saw that you're in London and she's like, right, so you're finally here and you didn't come and see me. We had talked about it, you know, a couple of times.
Starting point is 00:21:39 She's like, when you come to London eventually, I need to show you where I'm from and all that kind of stuff. Anyway, messaged her and she said, yep, I'm around. I'll come meet you for lunch one day. Because I was only there for like three days. So anyway, on the way there, I was like, this is so weird. Like I have not seen this person. Were you nervous?
Starting point is 00:22:03 Kind of. Yeah. Because I hadn't seen her in 13 years and like we've kept in touch but we don't like talk on the phone every day you know like bits and pieces are the vibes going to be there or is it going to be real awkward? do you have anything to talk about? exactly so
Starting point is 00:22:17 anyway turned up to this really nice restaurant and as soon as I saw her we literally it was like no time had passed at all and we just laughed and laughed for like three hours. It was amazing. Yeah. And she gave me one of the best compliments I think I've ever gotten.
Starting point is 00:22:39 Did she? Yeah. Okay. So when I turned up, I sit down. She's like, it's so nice to see you. Like, are you thinking this is real weird? Were you nervous? And I was like turned up, I sit down. She's like, it's so nice to see you. Are you thinking this is real weird? Were you nervous? And I was like, yeah, I was nervous.
Starting point is 00:22:49 Anyway, she goes to me. She's like, can I just say you have not aged a day in 13 years. She's like, you look exactly the same. That is about as good as you can get. I literally was buzzing from that compliment for the rest of the week. What did you say back? I said, you look pretty old, to be honest. Because how can you respond if you go, oh, neither of you?
Starting point is 00:23:18 That's not genuine. If you just go, thanks, that's rude. How do you respond to that? I actually did think the same. She looked exactly the same as well. And I the same. She looked exactly the same as well. And I said, you actually look exactly the same as well. And she said, no, I don't. I've had a kid.
Starting point is 00:23:32 I look old. Yeah, I wasn't going to mention it. Anyway, it was amazing but just so weird to not see someone. 13 years. Pick up where you left off. That's fun. Yeah, it was really cool. And it got me thinking about people that listen to this show
Starting point is 00:23:46 would have had similar experiences but longer. Yeah. Like there would be people that hadn't seen someone for I don't know how long. Someone who used to be important in your life, like a mainstay, like a regular feature in your life. Yeah, and then for whatever reason, they've moved overseas or, you know.
Starting point is 00:24:04 They might have gone to prison. Could have gone to prison and you just moved overseas or you know. They might have gone to prison. Could have gone to prison and you just didn't want to visit. They might have gone into witness protection. Who knows? You don't know why people get separated these days. We'd love to hear your stories this afternoon. They could have joined a gang. And then you were in a rival gang.
Starting point is 00:24:19 Or a cult. A cult? Yeah, yeah, yeah. 0800 dial ZM or you can text us on 9696. They might have joined CrossFit. And they're still there? Yeah. Oh, we said cult, didn't we? No, we said cult.
Starting point is 00:24:31 Yeah, yeah. How long has it been? How long was it between drinks that you did not see someone? Could be a friend. Could be an ex. Could be a family member. Could be a family member. And was the reunion as good as Bree's or was it a bit awkward?
Starting point is 00:24:46 Yeah, it did not go well. You met them and they're like, so good to see you. By the way, have you heard of Arbonne? I've got some great products to show you. Oh, 800 dials at M or you can text us on 9696. How long did you not see someone
Starting point is 00:25:01 and then you reunited? Emily's here. Hi, M. Hi, M. Hey. How long was it for see someone and then you reunited? Emily's here. Hi, Em. Hi, Em. Hey, hi. How long was it for you and who was it? So it was a long time, but not probably the longest she'll get. I think it was about four or five years.
Starting point is 00:25:17 But what was crazy was that, like, it didn't even make sense that I would ever see her again at all. Why? Who was the person? Who was the person? Yeah. So she was a high? Who was the person? Yeah. So she was a high school exchange student at my high school. She was like two years above me, but we made, you know, small friends, you know, we were kind of friends there.
Starting point is 00:25:35 Yeah. And then I later went on a high school exchange like three or four years later. Okay. And I was, I didn't even recognise, you know, I didn't even know where she had come from when she was at school. And so I'm on my high school exchange in Costa Rica and I was at a surf festival and I went to go to the toilet. I'm waiting at the public toilet and she walks out of the stall
Starting point is 00:25:58 that I was waiting to go into. What are the odds of that, Emily? And you both recognised each other? Yeah, but we just like stopped and stood and stared for a while because it made no sense that we were standing in front of each other in a public toilet. Was she Costa Rican? She was Costa Rican and then it turns out that she lived like
Starting point is 00:26:19 a two-minute walk from my house in the town that I was living in, which wasn't the town that we were in at the time. That is crazy. That's the sort of thing that makes you believe in some kind of higher power, right, Emily? That's bizarre. Yeah, it was so bizarre. And now we stay in touch over social media and stuff. Yeah, you have to.
Starting point is 00:26:39 You're soulmates. Yeah, it is like that. Or could it have been that her school just had a deal with your school that you guys exchanged students and that's why it was so close. We went through different companies. Yeah, Brie, they went through different
Starting point is 00:26:56 companies. I was just trying to make sense of it. Don't try and suck the magic out of Emily's great story. Sorry, I'll shut up. It is magic. My mistake. My mistake. There's a great story. We appreciate it.. It is magic. My mistake. My mistake. There's a great story. We appreciate it. That's wild, eh?
Starting point is 00:27:07 Someone on the text machine said, husband and I visited England in 1991 on the teacher's exchange for one year, came home in December of 1992. We went back to England last year in August for the Commonwealth Games and we met up with someone that we met the first time and hit the best drinking session ever.
Starting point is 00:27:28 30 years later. 30 years in between drinks. That's awesome. So that's why it was such a big drinking session. You had 30 years to make up for. 30 years to catch up. One shot for every year. We didn't see each other.
Starting point is 00:27:40 Exactly. Someone else said, I had a one night stand. 19 years later, we matched on Tinder. The catch-up was very good. Yeah. Buzzy. Wow. How weird is that?
Starting point is 00:27:53 I feel like I've been here before. Kato's here. Wait, I've been in this apartment. I've been in here. Kato's here. Hi, Kato. Hi, Kato. Hello.
Starting point is 00:28:03 What was it for you? Who was the person and how long between drinks? So we dated a while ago and then she ended up ghosting me. Yeah. Never heard from her again. Right. And then two years later, I was looking for a flatmate to move into my house and this girl came in and was like, I've got me and my partner, we'll move in.
Starting point is 00:28:20 I was like, all right, cool, trust you, sounds good. And her partner showed up and it was that girl from two years ago. It was the girl that ghosted you. Had you already accepted them as flatmates? Yeah, it actually turned out alright, but... You had to live with the
Starting point is 00:28:38 person that ghosted you and her new girlfriend. Kato, I honestly think more awkward for her. That's what I reckon, because I was over it by that point. I was like, I own this house, I honestly think more awkward for her. That's what I reckon because I was over it by that point. I was like, I own this house. I'm better than you. Just rub it in her face every day. Just be like, how do you feel being my
Starting point is 00:28:54 tenant, Bia? Yeah, you're paying for my mortgage. You ghosted me and now you're paying me. And now I own you. Oh my God, Kato, you poor thing. Who was more shocked, do you reckon, her or you? Let's get classical. So, game where we guess what the song is.
Starting point is 00:29:18 The songs are all performed in classical style, and we are not good at this game. If you watch Bridgerton, I feel like you've got an advantage. Do they do modern songs on Bridgerton? Is that the show that they do at Producer Claude? Is that how they do Bridgerton? It's pretty much what we're doing, but maybe they did it better. Are they still doing?
Starting point is 00:29:36 We've ripped off the idea. Are they still doing Bridgerton? Nothing new yet. I feel like after Reggie Jean left, it kind of went down the toilet a bit. I think they're doing all the spin-offs now. Are they? That show was massive, wasn kind of went down the toilet a bit. No, I think they're doing all the spin-offs now. Are they? That show was massive, wasn't it? It was massive.
Starting point is 00:29:48 Huge. Very horny, too, that show. Boy, was it. Very saucy. Okay, Claudia, what's the deal? So this is Let's Get Classical. I've taken pop songs and turned them classic, and you just need to tell me what they are.
Starting point is 00:30:01 Okay. Sounds easy. Sounds easy. Will it be easy? All right, play along if you're listening. Yeah, Brie and Clint, buzz in with your name if you can tell me what the artist. Okay. Sounds easy. Sounds easy. Will it be easy? Alright, play along if you're listening. Yeah, Brie and Clint, buzz in with your name if you can tell me what the artist and the name of the song is. Here's your first one.
Starting point is 00:30:12 Brie. Brie. Kiss Me More. Oh. I know it. I know it. Who's bloody sings... Just throw one out. Is it Doja Cat? It is. Oh.
Starting point is 00:30:26 Yes. I had Larto on the brain because of that song we just played. Banger. Banger. Banger. Classical Doja Cat. I like it. It's got a clean bandit vibe about it.
Starting point is 00:30:46 It does, doesn't it? Yeah, I like it. It's got a Clean Bandit vibe about it. It does, doesn't it? Yeah, I like that one. This one, though, might be a little bit harder. Okay. Good luck. Clint. Oh, Clint. That is Miley Cyrus and Used to Be Young.
Starting point is 00:31:00 Yeah, it is. That's a new one on the playlist, too. Try and trip us up with a new song. Man, I'd say we're bad at this Yeah, you're correct I think we're great Oh my god, you know what this reminds me of? I was at the airport in Where was it? In Rome
Starting point is 00:31:22 Ooh la la We get it, you went to Europe Guys, I went to Europe No, I was at it, in Rome. Ooh la la. We get it. You went to Europe. Guys, I went to Europe. No, I was at the airport in Rome and in the waiting area where I was, there was a piano and like just a piano where anyone can go walk up to. You jumped on and played this? Definitely not me. But this girl walks over and gets on this piano
Starting point is 00:31:42 and starts playing all these amazing songs and all these people started gathering around and it was incredible i was like what a moment the worst is when someone sees that's piano and they go over there You're talented. You know, 10 minutes later, this young kid, this guy, I reckon he's probably like 21, walks over and did that exact thing. Wow, so impressive, man. And everyone was like. Okay, one more tiebreaker. Well, yeah, let's round it out with a win here.
Starting point is 00:32:21 Here you go. Three. Sucker Jonas Brothers. Let's round it out with a win here. Here you go. Brie. Sucker Jonas Brothers. Yes. Wow. I did not hear that at all. Oh, yeah, okay. I'm devot going to learn about you.
Starting point is 00:32:48 I'm Devos and my wife. Was that our best week we've had? Absolutely. Oh, yeah, Joe Jonas. He's been going through some stuff, hasn't he? Hasn't he? Bree and Clint. What is the best tomato sauce in New Zealand?
Starting point is 00:33:03 It's a very controversial topic. It's a very contentious topic. It's something we've talked about on our show quite a few times. Yeah. I don't think there's a Kiwi in the country who doesn't have an opinion on this, except for my dad, who is sauce phobic. Which is the wildest thing ever to me. The best tomato sauce to my dad is no tomato sauce.
Starting point is 00:33:21 Your dad is condiment phobic. Yeah, he's sauce phobic. Yeah, he hates all condiments. He hates anything, anything. Who is your father? He hates phobic. Yeah, he's sauce phobic. Yeah, he hates all condiments. He hates anything, anything. Who is your father? He hates flavouring. Yeah. Anyway, back to the tomato sauce.
Starting point is 00:33:32 Alex Casey, who is a writer at the spin-off, has tried to answer that question today. What is the best tomato sauce? And Alex joins us on the phone right now. Hi, Alex. G'day, Alex. Hi, everybody. So good to be here.
Starting point is 00:33:43 Murky waters to wade into here. Are you prepared for the backlash that you might get by picking just one tomato sauce as the greatest in the country? That's a good question. I sort of wanted to frame it like this is the most underrated sauce. But, you know, you do have to speak in absolutes on the internet. So we just went, yeah, you know what? I actually believe this is the best tomato sauce in the country. It is a controversial one, though. Or are you saying your choice, because best tomato sauce in the country. Okay. It is a controversial one, though.
Starting point is 00:34:05 Or are you saying your choice, because I'm actually in the dark. I don't know what you've picked yet. I know what she says and Brie doesn't know yet. Exactly. So you're saying the tomato sauce you're saying is the best in the country is quite controversial. Yes, I am. I am.
Starting point is 00:34:18 I'm ready for this. Okay. Alex Casey, when you're ready, please tell us, what is the greatest tomato sauce in New Zealand? It's Tui Mato sauce. See, I had a feeling it was going to be Tui Mato because Clint off air goes, I think I agree with her. I think I do agree with you.
Starting point is 00:34:38 Oh, I'm so glad you agree. I'm scared of it. I'm scared of it as a choice. I'll tell you why I agree with you and I think this adds to the controversy Alex Casey. What do you say to allegations that Tui Mato's sauce is just
Starting point is 00:34:53 Delmaine sauce with a different sticker? Because I honestly believe to my gut, because it's made by Delmaine, that it's just Delmaine sauce and they changed the sticker and it's a great hack. It's a great life hack if you want to get Delmaine tomato sauce's just Delmaine sauce and they changed the sticker and it's a great hack. It's a great life hack if you want to get Delmaine tomato sauce for 50 cents cheaper. Wow.
Starting point is 00:35:10 Well, it is made by Delmaine. I mean, in my serious investigative piece, I interviewed the man who came up with it and he said they sat in the Delmaine office just literally chucking sauces together. Yeah. Throw something at the wall, they're bound to light something.
Starting point is 00:35:26 Yeah. Your article claims that every bottle of Tui Mato sauce contains real Tui beer. Again, this is what the maker told me. I have no reason to doubt it. I do doubt the claim on the back of the label that it's made by the gorgeous Tui girls. The Tui girls of the magazine.
Starting point is 00:35:43 Oh, see, now you're bringing me in, guys. You're bringing me in. The Tui girls, the beer. Now you're talking my language. But I just think it's a beautiful sauce. And I thank Delmaine for their work because I think Delmaine is more closely aligned with sort of your chutneys, your relishes.
Starting point is 00:35:59 And I think that shines in the Tui Marto. You know, it's chunky. That's been Bree's biggest gripe in the past. She has gone nato on Delmaine sauce before. I'm not a Delmaine girl. There's too much shit in it. There's too many chunks in it. Tomato sauce.
Starting point is 00:36:14 No, tomato sauce is meant to be smooth. I don't want to chew my tomato sauce. I just think it gets us closer to nature to see garlic, to see onions. To see tomato. Look, I'll be honest. I'll put my hand up and say I don't believe I've ever actually had Tui Mato, so I can't. Have you had Delmaine? I've had Delmaine.
Starting point is 00:36:33 Then you've had Tui Mato. Okay, gotcha. Okay, good. Tui Mato's got chunks. Rapid fire. I'm going to throw tomato sauce at you two and you give me your gut reaction. Yes or no. Yuck or yuck.
Starting point is 00:36:43 Let's start easy. Let's start with White Locks. I don't know what that is. I don't know what that is. Whitlocks. Whitlocks. Whitlocks. I can't comment.
Starting point is 00:36:51 Oh my God. Poor brand recognition. That's on us. That's not on Flip. Wow, they didn't even get reviewed to be the greatest source. Okay, let's go quick again. Let's go Greggs.
Starting point is 00:37:02 Greggs. It's okay. Well, I want to say watery. Yeah. There might be master foods. I don't know. Poor man's w quick again. Let's go Greggs. Greggs. It's okay. Well, I want to say watery. Yeah. There might be master foods. I don't know. Poor man's wadis. Okay.
Starting point is 00:37:11 Wadis, obviously. Love wadis. Too sweet. Get in me. So obvious. Too mainstream for Alex Casey. Heinz ketchup. Oh, it's the ultimate.
Starting point is 00:37:22 It's so good. Americana. Americana. That's what I say about it too. Oh, really? Yeah. Get, it's the ultimate. It's so good. Americana. Americana, that's what I say about it too. Oh, really? Yeah, get off my fish and chips, you yank sauce. And that's about it. Are there any others that we missed? Alex, you did the research.
Starting point is 00:37:36 I mean, you say I did the research. My research was mostly focused on Toey Marto. I mean, we cannot... Yeah, you didn't taste Whitlocks in your research, did you? No. Those Master Foods ones that you kind of have to bend and break in half to like squidge them out onto your sausage roll.
Starting point is 00:37:51 That's kind of classic. And also the ones that you get at like an AMP show, a fairground Carny sauce. Carny sauce. You think Waddy's is sweet, try Carny sauce. It's like dipping your hot dog in red sugar. Yeah, and you can see completely through it.
Starting point is 00:38:10 You know what's my ultimate and I think is a pillar of this country is when you go to a fish and chip shop, and I don't know if they have this anywhere else in the world, and I believe it's Waddy's, and they give you a can. The riptop can. And you rip that can of tomato sauce open. I mean, it's genius. It is genius.
Starting point is 00:38:26 It's messy as all hell. When Tui Mato brings out a bloody can, and I can rip the top off, I'll be in. Tomato sauce expert and writer for the spinoff, thank you for your service to fish and chips and condiments everywhere. Alex, we appreciate your time. Thank you so much for having me. We look forward to the next one on mayonnaise.
Starting point is 00:38:46 Oh, best foods. Best foods. Don't even write it. Case closed. Time for a birthday banger. Bree and Clint. All I want for my birthday is a birthday banger. All right, birthday banger time.
Starting point is 00:39:00 Your opportunity to reminisce about the song that was number one when you turned 16. Yeah, we get good bangers, good vibes, good throwbacks out of this. So let's start with Leah this afternoon. Kia ora, Leah. Hi, Leah. Hi, guys. How's your day been, Leah?
Starting point is 00:39:15 Yeah, pretty all right, actually. Well, let's finish it off in a good way with a good birthday banger. What's your date of birth? 19th of September, 1988. All right, that means you were 16, Leah, in 2004. And let me take you back to your 16th birthday, because this was number one.
Starting point is 00:39:32 Don't want to be an American idiot. Banger. Bit of green day, Leah. American idiot, what do you think? I'm actually not a fan. Oh, okay. I can see this isn't for everyone. This whole album.
Starting point is 00:39:52 It was overplayed so much. Yeah, it was so overplayed. This song was about George W. Bush, who at the time was the worst president America had ever had, or so people thought. There was quite a few pop stars doing songs about him. There was. Pink did one. Lots and quite a few pop stars doing songs about him. There was. Pink did one.
Starting point is 00:40:06 Lots and lots. Yeah. And then Trump came along. And we didn't get many Trump songs, did we? And they were scared. Yeah, they were scared. Yeah. Everyone's scared of offending somebody these days.
Starting point is 00:40:15 Yeah. Okay, Leah, wait there. We're going to do a birthday banger for Amber. Kia ora, Amber. Hi, Amber. Hello. Whereabouts are you calling from, Amber? Hamilton.
Starting point is 00:40:24 Oh, lovely. We love Hamilton and I hope we're going to love your birthday, Banger. What's your birthday? 2nd of July, 1995. All right, that means you were 16 in 2011. And back on the 2nd of July, 2011, this was number one. Yeah, Amber, that's a goodie from Cobra Starship. It's a tune, Amber.
Starting point is 00:40:53 I can still see the cover art, the big glasses. Yeah. A lot of purple. A lot of purple. From memory. Yeah. It's a good one, Amber. Are you into it?
Starting point is 00:41:04 Sorry? Are you into it? Do you like your birthday banger? Yeah. It's a good one, Amber. Are you into it? Sorry? Are you into it? Do you like your birthday banger? Yeah. I like the tune. Okay. All right. How interesting the name of that band.
Starting point is 00:41:14 Cobra Starship. Have you ever thought about that? Is it a G.I. Joe reference? Is it? I don't know. Could be. Finally, Kate. Hi, Kate.
Starting point is 00:41:22 Hi, Kate. Hey, guys. How's your day been, Kate? My day's been great. Thank you. What have you been up to? A bit of work? I have been at work.
Starting point is 00:41:31 What do you do for work, Kate? Property management. Oh, jeez. You would have some days. We have some days. Good to hear you've had a good day today then, Kate. Mate, what's your birthday? 27th of July, 1972.
Starting point is 00:41:47 All right, that means you were 16 in 1988. And we've done the math, the calculations. This is your birthday banger. NXS. Not bad. Not bad. Oh, pretty good. Pretty good, all right.
Starting point is 00:42:06 That's a great song from In Excess. They've got heaps of bangers. They were huge. Aussie band. He dated, lead singer dated Kylie Minogue at one point. Kylie Minogue, yeah, he did, Michael Hutchins. Okay, birthday bangers going to be Green Day, Cobra Starship or In Excess.
Starting point is 00:42:23 What are you thinking? I'm really torn today. Yeah, me too. I think probably Cobra Starship for me. Yeah, I'll go with you on that. I like their Green Day song. I do think it's overplayed. It is a little bit.
Starting point is 00:42:38 Yeah. I think Leah sold it for me. That means Amber, you win Birthday Banger today. Nice. Yes, get in. for me. That means Amber, you win birthday banger today. Nice. Yes, get in. Picture this. They were all pretty good. Yeah, they were all pretty good.
Starting point is 00:42:51 All pretty good, but yours came out on top. 2011, you're 16, you're in the Outback on a fake ID, and here's your birthday banger, Amber. Thank you. Looking for you. Bree and Clint. Oh, you make me feel That's Cobra Starship from the year 2011 It's the birthday banger of the day for Amber
Starting point is 00:43:14 You make me feel I was pumping that air with my crotch for that song And other body parts I need to wear a proper bra if I'm going to start throwing myself around If you're going to move like that. Yeah. It's not good. You'll slip a disc.
Starting point is 00:43:29 I'll slip something else too. I was talking about a nipple. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Okay, good. Let's talk about what are the key factors to a healthy relationship. Okay. You know, a bit of therapy.
Starting point is 00:43:43 What are the key factors that make up a healthy relationship? Yesterday you gave us stats on how many times happy couples indoor garden a month. Yes. According to people in healthy relationships, it was seven times a month. Shocking. Which is, we figured out, around two times a week. We rounded down. High bar. We rounded it down. Yeah. around two times a week. We rounded down. High bar. We rounded it down. Yeah. Around two times a week.
Starting point is 00:44:08 Yeah. Every week. And that was people who had been in a relationship for eight years or longer. Yeah. Yeah. So let's get in. Haven't you done it all by now? You've seen it all.
Starting point is 00:44:19 Been there, done that. I've taken the Tiki Tour a million times. I've been to all the nooks and crannies. Oh, wow. I've taken the Tiki tour a million times. I've been to all the nooks and crannies. Oh, wow. I hadn't seen that before. Is that new? I had no idea you could. Is that new?
Starting point is 00:44:33 What have you done there? So what else? Let's step outside of the bedroom. What else makes a happy relationship? So these statistics have all come from this survey where they asked over 2,000 happy couples about what is the important factors that contribute to their successful long-term partnerships.
Starting point is 00:44:51 Okay? One of you is rich. I mean, would help. And generous. Well, you know, I mean, being generous, being kind, definitely would go into it. But the first one was apparently over half, so this is 50% of couples that were surveyed,
Starting point is 00:45:12 believed having fun together was a key contributing factor. Absolutely. Having fun. Absolutely. And making things fun, Making normal stuff fun. And not, you don't have to go to Rainbow's End every weekend. No. You need to find a way to make cooking dinner fun.
Starting point is 00:45:31 Yes. You know? Like just little things. Like it's not all doom and gloom and adult responsibility. Yeah. Because life is long and punishing. Exactly. If you can't find fun with the person that you have signed up to...
Starting point is 00:45:46 Do life with. I was going to say die with. Then it's going to be even longer and more laborious. I can just picture you at your wedding. I've signed up to die with this woman. Whoever goes first. She gets me and it's all downhill from here. Have fun.
Starting point is 00:46:01 I agree. Have fun. One of the other things, over 50% of the couples also said, one of the key factors to a long, successful relationship is being able to admit when you're wrong is a key
Starting point is 00:46:16 factor. Or at least just, you don't have to say it out loud. Back down. Yeah, back down. Just make it obvious that you know that you've lost the argument. I don't believe that in a relationship you necessarily always need to apologise. But it needs to be clear. It needs to be clear.
Starting point is 00:46:33 And this goes both ways in my relationships. When the person who's wrong is wrong. And you know when the other person knows they're wrong. And often it's done without words. It's just done with a look. They just back down. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:46:43 I agree. Admitting when you're wrong. And it's done without words. It's just done with a look. They just back down. Yeah. Yeah. I agree. Yeah. Admitting when you're wrong. Over a quarter of couples believe that an even split of the housework is super important. Oh, yeah. Yep. I think it's good. I mean, it's different for every relationship depending on the situation.
Starting point is 00:47:04 But I think both doing your bit or contributing. I would say not housework. I would just say the work and the relationship. Yeah. Because you might do other things that contribute. Exactly. You know? But I mean, you know. At least that's what I tell myself.
Starting point is 00:47:16 Clint's like, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Let's back it up a bit. Yeah, that's good. 32% of couples said regular indoor gardening is the key to a successful relationship, which we already covered. It keeps coming up, eh? Which apparently, well, apparently not as much as it needs to. Other important factors included always having each other's backs. Yes.
Starting point is 00:47:39 Such a good one. Yes. Don't talk shit about your partner. Never. Ever. To anyone. Don't do it. It's such a good one. Even if you think they're wrong, shut one. Yes. Don't talk shit about your partner. Never. Ever. To anyone. Don't do it. It's such a good one.
Starting point is 00:47:47 Even if you think they're wrong, shut up. Yep. Shut your mouth. Yeah. You have to have your partner's back. Say it to them. Question. If you're in a situation where your partner needs you to have their back, but you know
Starting point is 00:47:59 they're in the wrong, do you have their back? I heard this hypothetical recently that said you're at your mum's house, you're at your parents' house, and your wife and your mum get in an argument. Oh, you've got to have your wife's back. Whose side do you take? You've got to have your wife's back. Whose side do you take in that situation?
Starting point is 00:48:17 You have to live with your wife. Your wife's like, okay, we're leaving. And your mum's like, no, you're not leaving. Oh, you leave. I think you leave. You leave. I think you leave and you leave. I think you leave. And you go, mum.
Starting point is 00:48:26 Unless your wife. Mum, just cut it out. Unless your wife has like called your mum a racist slur or something. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So you're like, okay, she's definitely in the wrong. We're on the same page. Yeah, yeah. Compromising was another big one that people said contributes to a successful relationship.
Starting point is 00:48:43 Yeah. Which I mean is standard. Being able to laugh at each other. So being able to make fun of each other and know that it's- It's a huge one. You know, like it's all fun. And not taking yourself too seriously. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:48:55 Yeah. Ones that were not as important but did come up were having the same bedtime. Oh, I've heard that. Yeah, I've heard that. That's an interesting one to me. It's not a non-negotiable, but apparently it's really helpful. Yeah. It wasn't high on the survey, but apparently
Starting point is 00:49:09 sharing the same or similar political beliefs. Oh, yeah. Which I mean, yeah, can come, I mean, I can see how it definitely would. If you care about that sort of thing. Exactly. Yeah. And the last one that I've picked out from the list
Starting point is 00:49:25 is never using the toilet in front of each other. Yes! Yes! I think that's fine for number twos. Like, I would never for number twos. People do, though. Like, that is my... We've talked to those people.
Starting point is 00:49:37 That is my safe space. You would... Don't use the toilet if you're doing number twos in front of your partner. Wheeze, I mean... Tan France from Queer Eye reckons the key to a healthy marriage is have two toilets. Really? And have your own.
Starting point is 00:49:52 The chamber of secrets. Exactly. You do your business, they do their business. That's your chamber of secrets, this is my chamber of secrets. Let's open the phone lines up and ask people what is the reason that your relationship works? It doesn't have to be super serious. What's the thing? Like for me in my relationship, it's the fact that neither of us,
Starting point is 00:50:09 me or my wife, ever, ever go on a serious health or fitness kick. That's the reason our relationship works. I love that one. It might last for a day or two. Lucy will say, okay, no more chocolate in the house. And then I'll come home from the groceries and I won't buy chocolate. And she'll go, why didn't you buy any chocolate? And it's over.
Starting point is 00:50:24 No serious health kicks in our family. I love that one. I think me and my partner, the key to our relationship being successful is we both love pasta. Yeah, exactly right. And food in general. Food, you've got that thing you bond over. You know, we love food. 0800 dials at M or text it to 9696.
Starting point is 00:50:43 Share with the people the secret that helps you guys survive as a couple. What is the one reason that your relationship works? Leah's here. Hi, Leah. Hi, Leah. Yada. What is it for you and your partner? Well, I guess for us it's the right amount of shared
Starting point is 00:51:00 interest, but what I was actually calling about is the bedtime because that's a big factor in the indoor gardening for us. Oh, that's such a good point, because one of the things that came up, if you missed it, was having the same bedtime as your partner is one of the key factors. You can't have a healthy indoor gardening schedule if you're not going to bed at the same time, right, Leah? Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:51:19 And we have an 18-month-old, so it's like, if my partner doesn't come to bed with me, it's not happening. He's like, can I play Xbox for 90 minutes and then come and wake you up? Yeah, no, it's gaming or that. You know, it's a choice. You choose. You choose. Call a duty?
Starting point is 00:51:36 Yeah, or. Hey, good work prioritizing that with an 18-month-old. You're doing well, Leah. We're trying. Yeah, nice work. Thanks for your honesty. We're trying. Yeah, nice work. Thanks for your honesty. We appreciate it. Someone has texted through
Starting point is 00:51:48 because we're asking what's the key factor in your healthy relationship? And they said, we both drink too much and we love the NRL. Up the waz. You know,
Starting point is 00:51:59 as long as it's your thing, as long as you're doing it together. That's one of the big things in my relationship too. Drinking. Yeah, drinking, Wes. We just love to drink. No, we love sport and we love watching sport.
Starting point is 00:52:09 Shared interests. You know? Yeah. And it's just so nice when you can do that with your partner. Whereas some people would say not shared interests is the key to a healthy relationship. Also can work. Having your own interests. Yeah, also can work. I guess you have to like the same TV show eventually. Otherwise. There's got to be a couple. There's got to be some crossover.
Starting point is 00:52:25 Kay's here. Hi, Kay. Hi, Kay. Kia ora. What's the key factor for your successful relationship, Kay? Mine would be no pressure. So I'm a young couple, 21. We got married at 21 and 23.
Starting point is 00:52:43 And a lot of people go, oh, you're married, you know, kids, house, all that kind of stuff. But we haven't even got there and it's been four and a lot of people go, oh, you're married, you know, kids, house, all that kind of stuff, but we haven't even got there and it's been four and a half, we've come out four years, and yeah, no, just no pressure, just carrying on life. That's just how it comes. So you're 25 now, is that right? Yeah, that's right. You're kicking goals. There's no pressure, Kay.
Starting point is 00:53:00 There is no pressure. 100%, yeah, even like lost friends because they're like, why are you having kids and why are you building a house? Yeah, because I'm 25. Because I'm 25 and I can just not have all that responsibility. Yeah. Leave me alone, I'm bloody 25. Yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 00:53:20 Yeah, no, I love it, Kay. Thank you, appreciate your call. Some other great texts that come through. Someone said, I don't like beer, so I never touch his, and he doesn't like wine, so mine is always safe. There you go. I feel like that could be on one of those. Like one of those millennial T-shirts?
Starting point is 00:53:36 Yeah. Or those love signs? Or those signs you hang in the kitchen. Oh, it's quarter past wine o'clock. Someone else texted through and said, the key to our healthy relationship is trauma bonding. Oh, it's quarter past wine o'clock. Someone else texted through and said the key to our healthy relationship is trauma bonding. Oh, yeah, shared trauma. It's definitely a thing.
Starting point is 00:53:51 Yeah. Shared trauma. You bond over it. I got into a relationship once over shared trauma. Did you? Yeah. What was the shared trauma, can we ask, or you don't want to say? My ex-girlfriend was her ex-best friend.
Starting point is 00:54:01 That's shared trauma. We bonded over it. It had a name. Chris is here. Hi, Chris. Hi, Chris. Hey. Tell us, what's the key to your successful healthy relationship?
Starting point is 00:54:13 It's just like the after friendship hangout, like tea spill. Gossip. Yeah, the gossip. I love this one. So you'll go out for dinner with your mate, you'll come home and your partner will go, give me the deets and you'll tell them everything. Honestly, it's the other way around. She'll come home from doing something and I'll be like,
Starting point is 00:54:31 tell me everything. Yes, Chris. Yeah, yeah. And then the other way around, she doesn't really get much from me. I try and get this from my wife too. I'm like, what's the goss? What's going on? What are the girlies up to?
Starting point is 00:54:44 And she keeps it on lockdown. She's tightlipped yeah yeah she's she doesn't tell i'm gonna have to tickle it out of her thanks chris we appreciate it man chris i loved chris as well that's so cute someone said the key to a healthy relationship scheduled time apart you know we laugh but it's actually like a good thing brian clint i want to talk about this story that's happening over in Australia at the moment where a driver has been shocked after they received a letter saying their personalised plate has been suspended. Really? Because apparently the five letters and numbers were deemed offensive.
Starting point is 00:55:26 Oh. I didn't think they could retrospectively ban a plate. I thought if you managed to sneak it through the Kiwi Plates people or whoever it is, if you got it manufactured, it was yours. Interesting, eh? Because I thought the same thing. But apparently someone, get this, has seen it out in the wild and has put in a complaint.
Starting point is 00:55:46 Oh, fun place. And you know what? Because I've seen the number plate and I can't figure out what is offensive. Okay. So I thought we'd play a game this afternoon on the show. Producers, you're involved where we're going to try and figure out what this plate could actually be to be offensive. Why is it rude?
Starting point is 00:56:04 Okay. Why is it rude? Okay. Why is it rude? Okay. Is everyone ready? You got a pen and paper? Yeah. Ready. All right.
Starting point is 00:56:08 The number plate, the numbers and the letters read W-8-N-4-U. Oh, I got it. Oh, that's not rude. That's not rude. W-8-N-4-U. I think it says waiting for you. Yeah. Waiting for you.
Starting point is 00:56:29 That's what it looks like to me. Waiting for you. Waiting for you. Well, that's going to be W-8-N-4-U. Wait for. Wait. What would someone have thought when they looked at that? Nudes? Waiting for... Wait. What would someone have thought when they looked at that? Nudes?
Starting point is 00:56:47 Waiting for nudes? Waiting for nudes? Maybe? No. Blurring my eyes and holding the paper far away to see if that changes it. Yeah, same. Wait. Wait.
Starting point is 00:56:59 Waiting for nudes. I mean, there's one word that starts with W. Everyone's avoiding that word. We're avoiding it. But there's no K that starts with W. Everyone's avoiding that word. We're avoiding it. But there's no K. There's no K. No.
Starting point is 00:57:09 And the four looks like a K? Eight. Wait. No, it doesn't. Yeah. So the W could be a W. The eight could be an A. I guess.
Starting point is 00:57:19 The N could be an N and the four could be a. Oh, but. That's a stretch. Yeah. That's a stretch. That's got to be what they thought it was. Do you reckon? Waiting for you is so cute. If it is. Yeah, it's a stretch. That's got to be what they thought it was, do you reckon? Waiting for you is so cute. If it is, if it is.
Starting point is 00:57:28 I know. Does this belong to a taxi? It's a stretch. What if you put it upside down? I reckon that's an Uber that's got that number plate or a taxi or something. Waiting for you. Waiting for you.
Starting point is 00:57:37 Have you guys? Unless we're really innocent and everybody listening to this is going, oh my God, guys, I can't believe you keep saying this. Stop saying it, stop saying it out loud. Get a complaint. Oh no. I can't believe you keep saying it. Stop saying it. Stop saying it out loud. Get a complaint. Oh, no. I can't figure it out, eh? But it's banned.
Starting point is 00:57:50 It's banned. It's been suspended. What? Do you reckon if it's suspended, that means it's up for review? Because, like, if you go to Kiwi Plates, actually. That's what I'm doing. I'm trying to see if I can get it right now. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:58:02 Is it available? Could we get it in New Zealand? Can we get that certain plate? Is it available? Doesn't seem rude to me. While we're on the topic, has anyone ever seen an offensive number plate? The combination is not available. Not available?
Starting point is 00:58:24 When someone else has already got it. Let me just check if, because I've always wanted this number plate. B-O-O-B-I-E-Z. Too many. Oh. Well, B-O-O-B-I-E? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:58:41 Surely that's not available. Do you guys reckon I'd be able to get it if it is? No, I think it's taken. Your combination's not available. Do you guys reckon I'd be able to get it if it is? No, I think it's taken. Your combination is not available. I've gone B-naught-naught-B-Z. Yeah, available? Not available. Oh, boo.
Starting point is 00:58:54 What else? B-naught-naught-B-I-E, not available. What does that spell? Oh, but you can get B-naught-naught-B-I-3. What does it look like? Booby. Oh, not bad can get B00BI3. What does it look like? Boobie. Oh, not bad. Not bad.
Starting point is 00:59:09 I'll take it. D-I... Okay, we'll stop there. Bree and Clint. A Portuguese village has been flooded by 2.2 million litres of red wine. Yeah. Two huge wine tanks at a vineyard burst
Starting point is 00:59:27 in the Portuguese town of Sao Lourenco do Barrio. Beautiful town. Beautiful town. I've been there a couple of times. It's in the centre of Portugal and yeah, 2.2 million liters. Have a look at that picture of the wine
Starting point is 00:59:43 flowing down the streets of the city. It is literally a river of red wine. Dreams do come true. 2.2 million litres is the equivalent of an Olympic swimming pool worth of red wine, which is a colossal amount of water. That's so much. It's a colossal amount of wine.
Starting point is 01:00:01 It flooded houses, it swept away cars and it would have made the local alcoholics think that all their Christmases had come at once. Here's a question. If you walked outside, you saw that, you'd drink it? Yeah. I'd take a cup. I wouldn't do a floor suck off the road. You'd just do it, you'd
Starting point is 01:00:17 scoop some up. But I'd scoop some up. Yeah. I mean, how dirty could it be? Well, it could be quite dirty. It could have flown through someone's toilet. Absolutely. Could have picked up. You'd probably get real sick. But I think this is a once in a lifetime occurrence.
Starting point is 01:00:34 You're never going to get that opportunity again. I'd definitely lie down in it. Oh, yeah. You'd go for a swim in it. Yeah. For sure. Yeah. Do you reckon it would stain you?
Starting point is 01:00:43 Because red wine stains. Yeah, it would. You know how you get blood mouth when you drink too much red wine? Do you reckon you'd just have straight blood mouth? It got me thinking, because this has happened, 2.2 million litres of this wine flowing through the streets of Portugal. It could happen with anything. And if it did, what kind of river would you like to flow down your street? I mean, it is a great question.
Starting point is 01:01:05 Yeah. It is a great question. Yeah. It is a great question. Anything. Oh, my God. Wait, is this the second coming of the Red Sea? Yeah. Oh, my God, it is. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:01:13 What kind of wine do you reckon that is? Portuguese wine. Like Merlot, Cab Sav? Or a mixture? Yeah, I reckon it's a blend. Anyway, sorry, my brain is getting distracted. Okay, what are we going with? The best suggestion wins this. Straight away, I reckon it's a blend. Anyway, sorry, my brain is getting distracted. Okay, what are we going with? The best suggestion wins this.
Starting point is 01:01:27 Straight away, I went to beer. Beer's a good one. Beer's a good one, but it's kind of obvious. So then I thought gravy would be good. Oh, gravy, but it's quite chunky. We've had a bad experience with cold gravy recently, so it would have to be hot gravy. It's quite gluggy.
Starting point is 01:01:44 Yeah, it gets all it gets all like lumpy yeah so gravy or or i thought could be quite good if it was bolognese sauce oh that would be a river of bolognese sauce i'd love that those are my best suggestions that's they're great suggestions what do you got i wanted to throw out because i written down beer as well before knowing what this was but i thought god give God, give me some, on the same Portuguese name, Nando sauce. Oh, peri-peri sauce. Peri-peri sauce.
Starting point is 01:02:11 Yeah, that would be peri-peri nice. No, peri-peri nice. I don't know if I'd go swimming in that one, though, because I feel like it could be quite bad for certain parts of your body. Claudia, what are we going swimming in a river of, if it's your decision? My river's going to be pretty stagnant unless it's a really hot day, but Tim Tams?
Starting point is 01:02:28 Oh, yeah, good. A river of Tim Tams. Delicious. That would not flow. If it was really hot, they'd all melt. I would backstroke freestyle, bloody breaststroke, do those things. Mouth wide open.
Starting point is 01:02:40 Absolutely. And Ella, what are we going swimming in a river of, if it's your choice? I've thought long and hard, but I've got the answer. Instead of having to open them and scoop them out and it all being a thing, just to see a river full of passion fruit. The vegans are. Don't hurt me.
Starting point is 01:02:56 The vegans. That would be delicious. She's like, my river is cruelty free. What? Would the passion fruits be whole or would they just be the... The insides. The insides. Oh, and then you can just...
Starting point is 01:03:11 Yum. I did. It is better than what I thought you were going to say, which was hummus. Guys. Oh, that's second. Guys, how have we missed ice cream? Oh. Oh.
Starting point is 01:03:21 Yeah. Ice cream would be pretty good. Ella, it can be coconut ice cream. It's sticky though, right? Good on a hot day. You can ride it. Dreams are free, everybody. Bree and Clint.
Starting point is 01:03:31 I don't want to go home after that. A fun show where we tried to figure out what the greatest tomato sauce in the whole country is, and we didn't settle on anything. One contender we never thought about was McDonald's tomato sauce someone texted. Yep. Which, isn't it just Heinz? It's a great question. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:03:47 Is it anywhere online? I don't know. They're talking about those tiny little packets, right? Yeah, or the sauce they put on cheeseburgers. Yeah. Oh, yeah, the ones that come in little squeezy packets. Little squeezy packets. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:03:58 Greg's, Waddy's, Heinz, Whitlock's. According to Alex Casey, who we interviewed today, Tui Mato is the greatest tomato sauce in the country. Yeah, she threw it out there. It's a classic. I do not mind a Tui Mato sauce. I feel like I'm going to have to buy a bottle. Of Tui Mato? Yeah, to just, because I have never
Starting point is 01:04:16 bought a bottle. You're saying it's the same as Del Mane, which I have tried. It's exactly the same as Del Mane, but your mind is a strange thing when it sees a different label. Isn't it? It'll convince you that it's different. And you'llmaine but your mind is a strange thing when it sees a different label isn't it it'll convince you that it's different and you'll go oh this is nice
