Hello everyone, welcome back to the podcast. Where's my fellow UK cousins? If you listen to the show today, you'll know that Brie's doing her Graham Norton impression right now. No, that's my Adele impression. Oh, I thought this was Rita. And then this is Rita Ora. Oh, very different. She's a bit more schmipple rough.

Soundkeeper Ella turned producer Ella. What have you got for the podcast today? So, Brie, yesterday something happened to you. You were mortified that you saw the three finalists for big brother spoiler i can't even talk about i watched the episode last night if you tell me who's won on this podcast i will come over there and i will find your address and i will come to your house and i will shit on your floor oh wow wow you uh if you're doing what we think you're about to do. I'm not going to tell you, but I did Google and I know the winner. Don't.

You should tell her. Don't you dare. I'm warning you. As much as I like winding someone up. I'm not going to tell you. I'm not going to tell you. I just want you to know that I know. Wait, wait, wait.

Remember that time that I was really into Love Island? We didn't actually do it. We made you think we did it. You made me think that you had done it. Yes. Which, to be honest with you, No, no. No, no, no.

It gave me the same level of anger. Because I didn't know it was fake. Well, that's true. And how angry were you? So angry. So disappointed. And if it had have been true, you would have been even more angry.

But when we told you it was a joke, you calmed down, didn't you? Yeah. Mate, did you not see my reaction yesterday to seeing that spoiler? If you want to create that kind of energy in here, hey, mate, I dare you. I dare you. She'll come to your house and she'll set fire to your bed. After shitting on it. After shitting on it. After shitting on it.

Don't shit on my beard. So it'll be a shitty fire bed. Yeah, she's going to Amber Rose you. I've spent weeks. Amber Rose, Amber Heard. Amber Heard. Spent weeks on this show. I know you have.

Don't take it away from me. I won't. It's a little bit of joy that I have in my week. But just know that I know. Is it tonight? Or do you just have to get to tonight? What time? Oh, if someone messages me on Instagram after they

hear this. No, but can you go home and watch it early? Consider yourself blocked. Do you have to last the whole day? We're done work. Can you go home and watch it? I'm going to do stuff today. I've got work. How long though? I don't know how long it's going to take. So it's not out yet? Is it out? I don't even know long it's going to take So it's not out yet?

That's a different website. If you don't tell me, who wins? I'm not going to tell you, and I'm not saying anything. Oh, my God. See how worked up I am right now? It was worth it. Just at the thought, if someone did that to me. You're hot under the collar. Maybe you need to take your Puma shell suit off.

Leave my Puma shell suit alone. This Puma shell suit is vintage. It's very Kath and Kim. That's why I love it. Yeah, yeah, suit is vintage. Very Kath and Kim. That's why I love it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I wish I had the pants. Let's get out of here before things. Honestly.

Somebody says something they regret. Before Brie shits on my bed. Exactly right. I'd have no regrets about that. I'm telling you. Seriously? I'd even, I'd even. Okay.

I'd pull up the duvet. Okay, all right. Do it on the sheets and then put the duvet back down. No, I'm done here. And then when you put your feet into the bed, you go... I dare you, Bree! I dare you! I dare you, mate!

Oh, it's running me! You guys are tearing this family apart. Like a relief teacher that has no idea what's going on. It's ZM's Bree and Clint. I'm not going to put you in. Well, technically that's wrong because if we were relief teachers, we'd be on holiday right now.

Oh, yeah, it's school holidays. Yeah. I wonder what people do on school holidays these days. What did you guys used to do? Kids. What a kid. I think we went to Nan's place. Oh, yeah.

Looked after by Nan. Maybe. Free babysitter. Yeah, I think that was a lot of the time that we did. We lived in Rotorua and we would come up to Auckland and stay with Nan. Oh, yeah. She'd walk with us to the movies. How much was a movie back then? Good times.

I have no idea. Do you think I was paying for anything back then? I remember. It was $4. Osh, $4. $4 to see a movie. And then what else? As kids, school holidays, my mum would organise a treasure hunt for us.

Fun. And dig, like, some stuff into the ground somewhere on our property because we lived rurally. Yeah. Driven some of it still buried out there. I reckon she never even buried anything. She would just kind of give us a map and we'd be out there looking for this thing for hours.

That's clever. And then, hey, full circle, now I've hosted a show called Celebrity Treasure Island. Where they go digging for stuff. Where they go digging for treasure. There you go. It's in your DNA. Producer Ella went to the movies last night.

Oh, to see The Minions. Yeah, she saw The Minions film. Ella, what's your rating of The Minions movie as an adult? As an adult, 10 out of 10. It was funny. It went from A to B to C to F. Like, it was everywhere. Are you excited when you can see, you know, rated M15 plus movies?

You're funny. Yes, I am. She told me, because I asked her this morning while you were making a cup of tea how the movie was, she told me it's one of the best movies she's ever seen. No, it's not. It honestly was. The Minions movie.

We were laughing. Can I get one tattooed on me? I want a Minion tattooed on me. I love them. They bring us so much joy. I need to see your ID. Shut up.

No, so you're denying it. What? No, I'm 21. Oh, now she's panicking. She's not tall enough to go on the McDonald's playground but she's 21. When you go to Rainbow's End, are you allowed to ride the what rides can you ride? I hate Rainbow's End. I hate rides. Because they won't

let her on any of the rides. No, it's so annoying. I'm always like, I'll make the height limit. And they're like, no, you don't. Okay, little girl. Why aren't you at school? I need a boost to see. I can't really see you right now as well. Fair enough. Bree and Clint.

You're telling me. $50 worth of South Sydney Rabbitohs merchandise coming your way, Laura. Congratulations. Stop it. I think I need another tattoo. We're going to get you a signed Russell Crowe picture. Oh, my God. Now you're talking my language.

This is a story of one of those amazing op shop finds. Oh, my God. This is my dream. This is my dream. I'm wearing an op shop find. Oh, my God, this is my dream. This is my dream. I'm wearing an op shop find right now. Yeah, yeah, yeah, like that. Are you talking about this one? Like that, but if you found...

This vintage Puma. Okay, your shell suit's nice. Yeah. But I'm talking like if you bought that, but you found like a big wad of cash in the pocket. Oh, mate, this is expensive. I think this is worth a bit of money. Is it? I mean, I wonder. Just because you paid a lot of money of cash in the pocket. Oh, mate, this is expensive. I think this is worth a bit of money. Is it?

I mean, I wonder. Just because you paid a lot of money for it. I did not. Okay, maybe a little bit more than I should have. Anyway, yeah, I know what you're talking about. When people either find a painting that's actually worth a ton of money or they find an item where someone's hidden some money in the bottom of it. Or it's not even hidden.

It's like a set of drawers, but some cash has fallen down the back of it years ago. Then grandma's popped her clogs and everyone sold off the drawers. And there's the cash in the back of it. This has happened to a woman in the States. She posted a TikTok video about a secondhand handbag that she bought. Okay. First of all, it was a bit of a steal. You know the handbag Coach? Yes, Coach.

They're quite expensive. She got one for five bucks. Have a listen to what she found inside her Coach handbag. It's like dirty, right? So I thought I could clean it up. And there is an envelope in there

with money. I have three children. They will give my things to goodwill when I die. So I am putting their inheritance inside all my favorite things. This coach bag was given to me years ago by my husband's girlfriend. Well, actually, I came home early. She must have left quickly because she forgot her bag and shoes. I wonder if my husband ever knew this was his girlfriend's.

So go buy yourself a new bag. Love, Martha. This woman, this woman who owned the Coach Handbag originally is the most. What a boss bitch. She's so salty. I love it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It boss bitch. She's so salty. No, I love it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's good. She's obviously been cheated on.

And played the longest game in the world. She's like, okay, you cheated on me. I'm going to carry around that woman's handbag every day for the rest of my life. It's all about the long game, Clint. Us ladies, we like to draw it out and bring it out when you least expect it. She just wanted him to see the handbag and if he knew, just him sweat a bit. And so she can be like, oh, thanks for getting me this handbag, babe. That's so nice.

I love it. And then the shots fired at the children. She's like, they're going to give all my stuff away when I die. They obviously sided with the husband. So I'm going to hide their money in the stuff. That way if they give my stuff away, they're giving their inheritance away. It's kind of brilliant. It's evil.

Yeah. But it's brilliant. The cool thing about this is you can do this without needing to die. You can write notes as if you are an old woman, a bitter and twisted old woman, hide them inside the pockets of a jacket, and then give that jacket to the Salvation Army. How are they going to know? It's true.

How are they going to know? Remember how when I was away this year, my partner was selling off all my stuff? Yeah. I'm going to start putting all of our savings into all our stuff. Yeah, that'll show her. Yeah. No, wait, that affects me too.

Bree and Clint. Time for the latest. From iHeartRadio, this is The Latest. Live from LA with Dean McCarthy. Big Sexy, a.k.a. Mr. Miami himself, Dean McCarthy, is on the phone with us this morning. Hi, Dean. Hi, Dean.

Hi, guys. I'm shirtless and I'm smiling and I'm tan. Yes, boy. So what's new? This is something different. Hey, Dean's got goss for us on the actress, iconic actress, who has said she will never retire. How dare you ask me that question?

Who's that, Dean? Please tell me it's Meryl Streep, Dean. Oh, I wish it was Meryl Streep. She doesn't even need to comment because there's no need for her to retire. But this person is actually Dame Judi Dench. She is 87 years old and she was asked recently about retiring and she said this, slowing down, how dare you? How dare you? I'm only slowing down

if I can't see to read. But I'll figure out a way even if I could. Now here's the thing. This, she is the real class act. Do you know what I mean? Like she is the real deal as an actor. She's not some hideous diva, although you would expect that because considering she's won 10 BAFTAs,

she's had an Oscar from eight nominations, she's won everything and of course she's won All Our Hearts as one of the most iconic actors in Hollywood. Who's never going to retire? Not happening. That's what she said out of her mouth. She is so fabulous. I saw her once and she was just so generous.

I remember her going down and speaking to all of the press so graciously and someone like that. She doesn't need to speak to press. She does not need to speak to press, but I just love her for it. You'd have to love what you do to say something like that. She's 87. 87 and she says she doesn't want to retire. Imagine, like, having her as a grandma.

Yeah. Like, that would just be the ultimate. Being like, oh, yeah, my nanny, Dame Judi Dench, you know her? Yeah. Yeah, no, we know her. There's different types of 70 and 80-year-olds, though, right? Because Dame Judi Dench, you're like, hell no, you don't need to retire. But then you look at someone like Joe Biden and you're like, oh.

I think it's time. I think maybe it might be time for. Is he in his 70s? Late 70s. Is he? Yeah, so was Trump. Oh, well, I knew Trump. Yeah.

And what's his name? What's his name? Joe Biden. Yeah. He's in his 80s. That's what we were talking about. Oh.

Yeah. All right. It is early. Oh, it's not even that. Yeah, no, it's still early. It's still early. That's the latest. Who needs to retire?

I thought you were talking about the guy that's just retired in Britain. What's he saying? Boris Johnson. How old's he? He didn't retire. He was fired. Bree and Clint. Bree and Clint.

That's Kate Bush and running up that hill. I haven't told you this yet. What? That's what we're singing for Friday Oaky this week. Oh, no. And you're up first at nine o'clock this morning. Oh, God. No, it'll be good.

It'll be good. It'll be good. You know, it's all about the climb. You know, you've got to run up that hill. It's not called Running Up That Hill for us. It's called Pushing climb. You know, you've got to run up that hill. It's not called running up that hill for us. It's called pushing shit uphill. Well, that song, yeah. You hear how high she goes?

I thought we needed a challenge. Mate, we don't need no challenge. I thought it was getting too easy. Hey, look, speaking of a challenge, there's a piece of audio that's going viral at the moment and it's of a, you know how I love live TV? Because anything can happen on live TV. You just never know.

And sometimes, you know, mistakes happen. And we're all human and that's fine. But I love to listen to them. Like when Steve Harvey announced the wrong winner of the Miss Universe pageant. That is one of the most uncomfortable pieces of live television you've ever seen. That happened on Australia's Next Top Model too. Did it? Yeah.

So it was a live finale. Yeah. There's two girls left. God. And the host calls out the name of one of the girls. Yeah. We should find the audio of it. Anyway, and then like a minute later,

so the girl celebrates, she's crying, she's hugging the loser, who's actually the winner. And then she's like, oh my God, I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry, I've made, you're not the winner. When I hosted 60 Seconds earlier this year, the amount of stress I felt, because I knew who the winner was, like five minutes before we went on stage,

I knew who the winner was as I was standing with the card. I must have checked it 45 times. I was like, do not get this wrong. Do not get, that's your only job. But did a part of you want to go, maybe I should just for the lols. For the viral moment. Just for the lols.

Look, it's, this piece of live TV is from America. It's a woman named Heather Cover. She's a newsreader at a local news station, right? Anyway, she apparently has a horrible schedule and she's doing multiple shifts, but it was one of the early morning 6 a.m. shifts that this piece of audio was taken from where she can be heard to be slurring her words.

Oh, no. And look, she sounds like she's had a good night. Okay. And she's coming to work and she hasn't had enough coffees. Let's take a listen. degrees in texas today i just spoke with my mother that's what she's dealing with it's a major heat wave it's it's just heading everywhere we're so lucky it's only 80 degrees here we are really lucky you're in the capital region mean, let me tell you about that. These areas are reaching such areas. I mean, it's Houston, Austin,

San Antonio. I mean, they're not expected. It has happened. Like, you don't need us telling you that it's bad. Heather didn't have a good morning. Nah. I was hoping it was like, because if your earpiece is slightly delayed, it can make you slur your words.

It can, yeah. It can? I don't think it was. She looked quite dishevelled. Right. But they've since suspended her. Yeah, you have to. From the station. Remember when Matty McLean, they broadcast live to him after the America's Cup?

That's right. You remember that? He was on location. He was like doing a hotel piece or something. Wasn't he on a boat? Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's like, I'm going to do this cross from the bed. I'm just going to say, morning, everyone.

How good was the America's Cup? I hear what you're saying. Yeah. Should we show up drunk for the Friday show this week? Oh. Or do an all-nighter? Do an all-nighter on Thursday. You Do an all-nighter on Thursday. Yeah, do an all-nighter on Thursday.

Roll in on Friday. Let's not tick it off with Ross because I know he will be fine with it. Spare a moment, a thought for this next guy because he's been through something horrific. Right. Because for the past several days he has been cleaning his rear end with antibacterial toilet cleaner

wipes. Oh. Ooh. Why? So apparently Like dead hole wipes? So they're made to clean the toilet. Yeah. You know those kind of wipes so dead hole makes them. Yeah. Not baby wipes. Not baby wipes.

Not baby wipes. He thought they were baby wipes. And this is the confusion. So his girlfriend bought the active flushable toilet wipes. That's what was written on the front of them. Yeah. Not flushable by the way., it says on the front of these. But yeah, anyway, she's placed them right next to the toilet paper in the bathroom, which I mean, they are to clean the toilet. Yeah, not your toilet, not your inbuilt toilet. No. Anyway, he was using them for about a week, thinking they were wet wipes.

And he started to notice he was getting quite a bad rash and he was like, what's going on here? Oh no, my butthole rash is back. Yeah, anyway he finally figured out that they weren't actually wet

wipes and they were only wet wipes to clean the toilet. They did however kill 99% of bacteria in his anus. So they didn't lie. His shit don't stink. Yeah, 100%. I had a bad experience with Dettol as a kid. Not in my butthole, but I should have started with that.

I got told that, do you remember Do you remember You know dead hole hand soap Yes Like the liquid soap Yep I got told that that Would dry out your pimples Oh no And I had

I had quite bad acne as a kid So I would smear it on my face And leave it on there And go to sleep And it burnt All of the skin Off my chin It dried it off

And it burnt it off It's got chemicals in. It dried it off and it burnt it off. It's got chemicals in it. It was horrific. Yeah, not great. It was horrific. Do people still put toothpaste on their pimples? Is that still a thing? Well, the hickeys, I heard toothpaste was good for hickeys too.

For hickeys. Yeah. Was it? Yeah. Really? Draw it out. I thought we could do the phone-er this morning. 0800 dial ZM.

What did you use instead of toilet paper? But I thought, better not Or how'd you hurt your butthole? Yeah, what burnt your ring hole? Maybe we'll save that one for the Friday show We'll say yes I think it's more a Friday vibe Yeah, that's a Friday vibe

Yeah Simone Biles, the gymnast, American gymnast Arguably one of the most famous athletes in the world Arguably one of the best gymnasts ever. Of all time, yeah. She's got seven Olympic medals, multiple world championship titles. She was one of the most talked about athletes at the previous Olympics, mostly because of her pulling out of the big events to prioritise her mental health.

Yeah, she got something what they called the twisties. The twisties? Yeah, and it's something to do with her brain wasn't functioning right and she couldn't do the tricks and stuff because she wasn't in the right headspace and they call it

the twisties. Far out, that's interesting. Did you know she's 4 foot 9? Wow. 4 foot 9. That's interesting. Did you know she's four foot nine? Wow. Four foot nine. That is tiny. She's a metre forty something. Wow. She's itty bitty.

Yeah. Which is part of the reason she's such a great gymnast. Yeah. And you know what? A part of the reason she'd be so short

is because of her, you know, all the training she did growing up. Really? It keeps you short? Yeah. Does it?

Did you not know that? What? Training for gymnastics keeps you short? It does stunt. Isn't your height predetermined? It does stunt their growth. Does it really? When you train that much so young.

Do they get you on the SIGs? It can stunt your growth. No joke. You even look at the male gymnasts. Yeah. Yeah, they're all tiny. Okay. Well, over the weekend, Simone Biles was on a flight home from Washington, D.C.,

where she had just received the Presidential Medal of Freedom. That's how big a deal she is. That's a big deal. That's the one that Obama gave Ellen DeGeneres that time. Right, yes. And there's that photo of her sobbing as the medal is placed on her. So she's flying home from that. She's frickin' Simone Biles.

As she got on the plane, the flight attendant offered her a colouring in book. Oh, my God. That is so bad. Oh, no. She replied to the flight attendant who had just offered her a colouring in book. Maybe the flight attendant just really loved Simone Biles and she was offering her whatever she had. Maybe, yeah.

She said, no, I'm good. I'm 25. What did the flight attendant say? I think as an airline, they tried to make it up to her because once she got to her seat, they came to her to offer the alcohol first. They got to her seat and they said, she said that the flight attendant gave me a mimosa.

So we're in the clear. However, when they gave me a mimosa, so we're in the clear. However, when they gave me the mimosa, they still asked me if I was old enough to drink it. And they wanted to check my ID and passport and birth certificate. Who is that more embarrassing for, her or the flight attendant who's mistaken her for a child? The flight attendant. I think so as well.

It's very embarrassing for her. If that was me, I would put in my resignation. I would never come back. I'd give up my wings. If that was me, I would put in my resignation. I would never come back. I'd give up my wings. Start talking to her in a little kiddie voice. Hello, little lady. Are you in an accompanied minor today? Where is your mummy? You're a rich child flying in business class, aren't you?

Oh, God. Poor thing. I would have died. I reckon that that is one of the occupational hazards of being a shorter person, being confused for a child. Oh, there's probably multiple. Yeah. And she does look very young.

Yeah. Like she's youthful. She looks amazing. Yeah, yeah. Do you take it as a compliment? Like when I get asked for ID, hasn't happened for a while, massive compliment. Yeah.

You know? Yeah, yeah. But you'd get sick of it eventually. But is it different when you're getting asked if you're under 18 to if you're getting asked if you're under eight? Yeah, exactly right. You know? It'd be a difference between being asked for ID and being taken seriously

because they constantly think you're a child. I'm trying to think of short people, like really short people that I know. The Veronicas, the singing duo from Aussie, they're 4 foot 11. I believe or 4 foot 10. So Simone Biles is even shorter than the Veronicas. And they are very short. Very short.

They do that thing where they hop on each other's shoulders and then they put on the long trench coat to go into casinos. So they look like they are one person. No they don't. And they go into the movies. That, they don't. So they look like they are one person. No, they don't. And they go into the movies. That's how they save money on movie tickets. No one is doing that.

One of them is down inside the trench coat. The other one's up the top with a fake nose. I don't believe they're doing that. It is. It's what the Veronicas do. No. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's one of their favourite tricks.

I thought we could take calls this morning from shorties. Is it okay to call you guys shorties? Shorty? The shorter people. I want to hear from them because it's actually, I find it fascinating. Like I am a relatively tall woman. You're a relatively tall man.

And you don't really have any idea of some of the struggles or some of the benefits. Benefits is a good one, yeah. That short people have. I'd love to hear that. So if you're on your way to work at the moment and you're on your booster seat in the car,

why don't you give us a call on 0800-DIAL-ZM or you can text your stories into 9696. We want to know the stories that you've got from being a shorter person. Like what is life like if you are 4'9"? Surely not a 4'9 person listening. So does that mean Simone could technically get kids prices for things?

Well, yes, she could, unless they went, hang on a second, you're Simone Biles. No, I'm not. It's time for Google Down. Google, are you down, down, down, down, down, down, down? What the down, down, down, down? What the hell?

I think Google's actually... We play this once a week on our show in the afternoons and it's where you guys all go head-to-head to see who is the fastest Googler. The greatest Googler in the land. Here to take on the team today is Alice. Morning, Alice. G'day, Alice.

Good morning. Calling in from Chilliwanaka. G'day, Alice. Good morning. Calling in from chilly Wanaka. How's the weather down there this morning? You there, Alice? Alice. Yeah, no, we're here. I'm sorry. It's raining.

It's very cold. Yeah, beautiful, though. I'd love to be in Wanaka. With a big jacket. Yeah. Well, good to have you on board this morning, Alice. Have you played this game before? No, we haven't.

Okay, easy. I'm going to give you the rules, okay? So listen carefully. This is how it works. So I've got a bunch of questions that I've already Googled. I'm going to read out a question. You have to Google it as fast as you can and yell out the most common answer that comes up for that question.

Okay. If you're the first person to yell out the correct answer, you will receive a point. And the first one to get three questions right wins. Okay. Easy. Got it. Easy. So just Google it, whatever I say, as fast as you can and yell out the thing that comes up.

Okay. All right? I reckon you got this in the bag, Alice. Yeah, we're ready. I'm ready. Here we go. Question number one. Producers ready?

Ready. We've got Producer Claude, Producer Ella and Clint also playing. Here comes question number one. For how many days does a butterfly live? Two weeks. 14 days. Six weeks. I'm going to give it

to Producer Claude. Producer Claude said two weeks which I would have accepted. You said days not weeks. I corrected it to 14.

I said what comes up for that question. Okay. Technicality. But Producer Claude got both anyways, so she's got one point on the board. I don't feel so bad about my cats eating the monarch butterflies now

if they're only going to live for two weeks. Did you not know? I thought they lived for shorter than that. Yeah, wow, okay. Question number two. How old is Georgia Knott from Broods? From the band Broods. How old is Georgia?

Oh, my gosh. What a niche question. Oh, gosh. 28. 28. Clint is on the money. She is 28 years old. One to producer Claude, one to Clint.

Okay. What is Oprah Winfrey's favourite food? Come on, Alice, you got this one. This next one, okay? Question number three. Okay. What is Oprah Winfrey's favourite food? What is Oprah's... Turkey avocado toast? Bacon peanut truffles. What did you say, Alice? Bacon peanut truffles. She's got it.

Nice work. What's a bacon peanut truffle? Sounds delightful. Doesn't it just? Like a chocolate truffle? Yeah. Yeah, yum. Oprah would have such a good chef, wouldn't she?

She would. Yeah, okay. Nice work, Alice. You're on the board with producer Claude and Clint. Here we go. Question number four. If I was in... Oh, Ella's out, by the way.

Bob the Drag Queen. You say Claude was just in there? I know that in my head too. I should have known. You wanted to double check. Such a creative drag name that in my head too. I should have known. You wanted to double check. Such a creative drag name. Bob the Drag Queen. I love Bob the Drag Queen.

He is so funny. Such a good stand-up comedian. All right, Alice, you need this one to stay in the game. It's like if I was a drag queen and I just called myself Clint the Drag Queen. I could think of a few drag names for you. Rhymes with your name, Clint. Here we go. Question number six.

Where did they film the movie The Lost City? Where did they film the movie? Go, go, go, go, go. Dominican Republic. Or who do you think got it? Claude, you or Ella? I mean, I'm going to... Well, don't ask Claude.

Don't ask Claude. I'm going to say it was producer Ella. That means Alice, you're on two. This is the tie-break question. You're welcome, Alice. Thank you so much. Alright, Alice, you need this one to win it. Everyone needs this question to win it. This is the last question.

Question number seven. How hot is it in Dallas, Texas right now? 39 degrees Celsius. Producer Claude takes it out this morning. She couldn't just let Alice have the victory, could she? She had to stomp on her hopes and claim another victory for herself. Sorry, Alice.

Alice, we will find you a prize because that was ruthless. Alice deserves a prize. That was Claudia's fourth win, by the way. In a row. In a row. She's undefeated. She's the new producer, Anastasia, the queen of Google Down, producer Claude. Can she

be beat? I don't think so. We don't know. Alice, congratulations. We're going to get you a prize. Thank you so much. That was so much fun. Thanks for playing. You did so well, Alice. You've got good vibes, Alice. Call the show anytime. We're covering some of the food shortages at the moment

that are going on because of the absolute shit fight that the world is in currently. It's impacting everything. It impacts global supply lines. It impacts the ability for things to be farmed. It's not just the global panini either. It's also like global warming

and the war in Ukraine. So I've got two more food shortages about to impact New Zealand. What are some of the ones we've had so far? Sriracha. Sriracha hot sauce. There was, like you said, chicken nuggets. Chicken nuggets.

Olive oil. Olive oil. I haven't seen the olive oil one come to fruition yet. How expensive is olive oil? Is it? Yeah. Is it? You know when you go buy a bottle of olive oil?

Yeah. I'm always like, damn, go buy a bottle of olive oil? Yeah. I'm always like, damn, I'm going to have to take that alone. You're getting the extra virgin. You can't buy olive oil and pine nuts in the same shop. That's for sure. What has the world come to? I know. How will we survive without our pine nuts?

Okay, two. I know one of them will impact you quite seriously. Well, give me the one that won't first. Okay, the one that won't I I think, will impact our vegan producer, producer Ella. Okay. Ella, are you sitting down for this, this food shortage? Oh, it's not tofu, is it?

No, not tofu. Don't say what I think you're saying. The first food shortage. Don't. Hummus. No! Oh, no. I love hummus.

Hummus. I literally buy a kg of hummus each week and I eat it. A kg? Yes. A kilo of hummus? I have it on everything. You need to learn to make it. Yeah, then make your own.

That's my thing. I might have to start making it. It's not too hard. Is there a hummus shortage but not a chickpea shortage? No, it's a chickpea shortage which is causing the hummus shortage. You're really up chick creek then. You're really up chick creek then. You're really up chick creek. Bad weather and the war in Ukraine means there's been a 20% drop in chickpea production.

That's so sad. Okay, all right. What are you going to eat now? I'm literally going to starve. Dry carrot sticks. Lettuce. Is tofu still around? Yeah, it is.

I love tofu. For how long though? Can you make a tofu dip? There will never be a shortage of tofu. Go away, guys. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I made you some good tofu.

But tofu, stop trying to make tofu a thing. I'm not a fan. I like a lot of other stuff, but not tofu. The other shortage, so that's the one that's going to impact Ella. The one that I really see hitting the Brie Thomasale household hard. There's a bourbon shortage. Bottle stores around New Zealand are reporting a nationwide shortage of bourbon RTDs. And I know how much you love a Cody's.

Well, there goes my one hobby. What am I going to do now? Weirdly, and I didn't describe them as this, by the way. This is from the article. It's impacting bottom shelf bourbon RTDs the most. Why? Woody's, Cody's, Billy Mavs, and Diesel's are the drinks that are most impacted

by this bourbon shortage. I don't know. Maybe it's the type of bourbon that they use or maybe the demand for Woodies, Codys, Billys and Diesels in New Zealand is so high that the smallest drop in production means that shelves are empty. How funny, like you just saying that then, how funny are all the names for the RTDs for bourbon? What is it?

Woody's. Woody's, Cody's, Billy's and Diesel's. Stiffy's. Put them on the shelf. Fighty's. Stiffy's are a real strong bourbon. Bree and Clint. We want to know, did you have to keep your relationship a secret?

No one knows who the man is that Graham Norton married. Yeah. No one knows. Which is crazy to me because of how famous Graham Norton is. Yeah, but he's managed to keep it a secret. I had some friends from Australia where they were both Fijian and in their culture, I'm not exactly too sure, but I remember her telling me she met this guy that she really liked,

but they had to keep their relationship a secret. And I believe it was for about three years. Why did they have to keep it a secret? It's something to do with Fijian culture and I'm not too sure. The cultural ones and religious ones would be a huge deal of one who had to keep their relationship a secret, right? Something to do with religion, but it was really hard for them, but they were so in love. And I think eventually it all came out and the families were okay with it in the end. And it worked out because they're married now,

which is really nice. Someone texted and said, I had to keep my relationship hidden for two years because my partner was in the closet. I met their parents and all of their friends as a mate. Oh, that's so hard. They said it's an ex. I will never do that again. It's just the most awkward situation to be in, you know, because... You accidentally hold hands? I think everyone, like, if you are in any way observant,

everyone kind of knows there's something, like an elephant in the room, but no one's really talking about it. You know? So it makes it just quite tense. Sucks that you have to do that as well. So, yeah, Anonymous is here. Hi, Anonymous. Hi, Anonymous.

G'day, how's it going? Good. Who kept their relationship a secret, Anonymous? Oh, well, two of our mates, they kept the relationship a secret from themselvesonymous? Oh, well, two of our mates, they keep the relationship a secret from themselves. From themselves? Yeah, yeah. Well, they were like

nah, nah, nah, nah, we're not together, nah, we don't like each other, but then they had a baby together. Now they're married with a two-year-old. Anonymous, were they like, oh, I guess we have to acknowledge this now? Yeah, everyone was like, we're like, you don't have to totally get it. And they're like, nah, nah, we're not, we're totally, oh, I guess we have to acknowledge this now? Yeah, everyone was like, we're like, you're totally together. And they're like, nah, nah, we're not.

And then one day they came to us and they're like, oh, yeah, so we're together. And we're like, oh, finally. And we're having a baby. And we're like, oh. Oh, bombshell. Whoa. Oops. It sounds like they were the only ones Who didn't realise

They were in a relationship Anonymous I'd say so Yeah yeah Hopefully they don't listen to ZM Because they're going to Kick my ass That's right

You're anonymous You can say whatever you want No you're anonymous Just deny deny deny Be like That must mean Some other couple in New Zealand Sweet thanks Billy

I mean thanks Anonymous Talk to you later See you mate Someone else texted through and said Dolly Parton's the same with her husband. Oh, yeah, he's very low-key. He's a very secretive. He's very low-key. She's been married to him forever.

Long time. And he never appears in anything with her. No photo shoots, no nothing. She did a video recently for his birthday, but she didn't show his face. She went and gave him a cake. He was sitting in his armchair. Never shows his face. He's like he's like remember those old school cartoons where you only saw the

legs of the parents? You saw the kids but you only ever saw the legs of the parents? Yep. He's like that. Right. Apologies to the person who's very angry that I didn't know who the singer Lulu was, by the way. They've texted and said, bro, Google. I didn't know either. We will learn, okay?

We'll learn. We're going to go Google it right now. We're just saying the non-remixed version of that was on last night's episode of Love Island, much less Doof Doof. It was really nice. It's quite a beautiful song. Quite emotional, actually.

Yeah. Yeah, really loved it. Go look it up if you want to hear it. There's lots of Love Island spoilers floating around the internet today, by the way. I don't want to talk about it. I've already seen one. Just be careful.

I think it's a good day to be off social media. If you're really deep in Love Island, it could be a good day to stay off. Yeah, good idea. Hey, I had a really interesting conversation with a friend of mine last night. And this is a friend I've known for years, over 10 years, I'd say. Okay. Long-time friend. Haven't talked to her in quite a while, but we caught up yesterday

and she has reconnected with her sister after eight years. Wow, that's a long time. They haven't spoken for eight years. Okay. And they've reconnected. Why have they not spoken? Did they have a falling out or? So they did have a falling out.

So about eight years ago, my friend, she had been in a relationship with this guy for over two years, two years or so. Yeah. And she loved him. Things were going well or so she thought. She actually found out that her sister was having a secret relationship with him behind her back.

Oh, man. Which was gutting for my friend because she was quite close with her sister. It's not like, you know, they weren't very close. They didn't really see each other. Like they were quite close with her sister. It's not like, you know, they weren't very close. They didn't really see each other. Like they were quite close. Like I'm pretty sure they might have even lived together at the time. Like it was very messy. Jeez, that'd be hard to pull off logistically in a fair

if you're living together. It was super messy. And obviously, you know, eight years they did not speak for. Fast forward eight years and the sister has been in a relationship with that guy ever since they stayed together they stayed together um so you could say it was the real deal yeah um it could have been the real deal with my friend too but i mean we'll never know anyway so they've been in a relationship since and they've gotten married in that time where my friend didn't go to the wedding

because obviously they weren't speaking. But in the last, I believe, 12 months, they have had a baby together. Okay. And my friend has also had a baby in the last, like, two years or so. She's moved on as well. So she's moved on as well. Good, it's been eight years.

She's in a relationship. They's moved on as well. So she's moved on as well. Good, it's been eight years. She's in a relationship. They've both recently had children. And she said to me, you know, I just wanted to leave it all behind me and we've got kids now and this is, you know, something I dreamt of my whole life where we would bring up our kids together and our kids would be friends, you know. And she goes, I just didn't want to hold that grudge anymore so she decided to be the bigger person well i believe she invited her sister

to her child's birthday party god can you imagine being the sister who did the cheating and then that invite shows up in your inbox amazing amazing but also the anxiety that you would feel yeah you be like oh god i've gone eight years without addressing this whatsoever. I've just not talked about it, not talked about it for almost a decade. And now I'm going to have to face all of this. I know, because my friend didn't talk to her beforehand. No. She's like.

She just dropped the invite bomb. And it could have been off like a whim, being like, I'm just going to invite her. You know, I believe they spoke beforehand. I hope so. Otherwise, potential fireworks at the kid's birthday party you know. I believe they spoke beforehand. I hope so. Otherwise, potential fireworks at the kids' birthday party. Yeah, so they reconnected beforehand. She came to the birthday party and she told me, she's like, she goes, I regret the last eight years.

But she said, I'm glad we're back together now. And it's like, you know, nothing's changed. Really? We're just as close as what we always were. Did she invite the ex-boyfriend? Yes. He was there too. Well, I think, you know, you can't.

No, you can't. You're either moving on or you're not. You're either moving on or you're not. You can't have the sister. You're invited. The kid is invited. But not him. But not that sack of shit.

You know, you have to have everyone. And so, yeah, it's all been squashed and she said it's the biggest relief and weight off her shoulders that she's been carrying around for eight years. Is there a code of conduct? She's not allowed to talk to her new partner? She's like, don't you talk to him. Don't you dare take

another one. He's off limits. Nah. Anyway, it made me feel really good and I was really happy for her because that's a massive thing. Totally. And I thought we could talk to some people this morning on, anyway, it made me feel really good and I was really happy for her because that's a massive thing. And I thought we could talk to some people this morning on 0800DIALZM. Like has this happened to you? Have you not talked to someone for a long period of time? Yeah, someone really important to you.

Yeah, and maybe you still don't talk to them. Oh, yeah. And I mean that would be quite sad. Yeah. But I also want the success stories. Maybe you reconnected after a really long period. We've got some anonymous callers here to talk to us this morning. Hi, anonymous.

Hi, anonymous. Hi, guys. How are you? Good, thanks. Who is it that you haven't talked to for ages? So it was one of my close friends. I used to call her my best friend, but not anymore. Ex-BFF?

Yes. What happened to us? So she had met this guy. I didn't know who it was. She'd never told me who it was. She said that she'd fallen for him. Dad said that they loved each other and all that sort of thing. So I'd rekindled with my ex and we were talking about getting back together.

She knew about me trying to get back with him and all that and still doing the deed with him and behind my back she was going to him. And I found out because she let something slip that I knew about him and I snapped her out and we stopped being friends for about three and a half, four years. But you reconnected. So after all of that, you guys got back together as friends?

We're friends but not close anymore. Best friends. Wait, I'm a bit confused, Anonymous. Are you telling me the guy that she was telling you about and she was like, I met this guy, blah, blah, blah. Secret guy. Is that your ex that she was dating? Yes.

Oh, my God. The audacity for her to tell you about it. Yeah, she was telling me all about this guy, and she knew because I told her that... I don't know if that's friendship you can repair. I don't know if that's... I feel like there's a little bit of psycho... That's friendship over right now.

...kind of single white female-ing going on there. You know, you don't have a blood bond there. Nah. You cut that person from your life. Nah, she's good to go. This person's anonymous too. Hi, Anonymous. Hi, Anonymous. Hello. You had a drama with your grandma. You didn't person from your life. She's good to go. This person's anonymous too. Hi, Anonymous. Hi, Anonymous.

Hello. You had a drama with your grandma. You didn't communicate with your grandma for ages. Yes, since 2014. Me, my sister, and my dad were out actually meeting the All Blacks. And when we got home, my mom was crying. And apparently grandma had called her telling her how she doesn't feel part of the family anymore. We haven't seen her enough in the past couple months.

And she completely disowned us. Oh, grandma disowned you. Oh, that's sad, Anonymous. Yeah. And so, wait, have you guys not reconnected since? We've talked once since because my papa, obviously her husband died, who we did still talk to because he didn't agree with her. And he died since, so we did see her then and

obviously just a little bit. It seems like anonymous that it wasn't really over anything massive. Nah. No, it wasn't. We don't think so. She has since gone to obviously their side of the family and told lies.

Oh, no. Yeah, oh, God. Drama. That's rough. Every family has it. That's rough. You know, there's always some sort of drama. That's sad, though.

Is the moral of the story this morning build a bridge? I don't know if it is. I think it's totally case by case. I think it, yeah, depends on, you know, what it is and who it is and who they are to you. Someone said, I stopped talking to my mum for five years because she blurted out in front of me that I was never wanted. Oh, that's horrible.

Oh. That's so sad. Whoa. I mean, it could have been, would it have been said in the heat of an argument? I mean, it doesn't even matter, to be honest. It does not matter. Bree and Clint. We were just talking before about um how long it's

been since you spoke with somebody who was important to you we've received my favorite text of the morning what is someone texted and said last time i talked to my grandmother she called me fatty dumpy piggy face out of nowhere three years of blissful silence oh my god fatty dumpy piggy face face. Sometimes. Grandma got issues. Sometimes grandmas say things and they don't really. No, I remember one time my nonna, my Italian grandmother, she said to me, she's like, Brianna, you're so loud.

You be more quiet like your sister. You never get the boyfriend. And I said, I think I got bigger issues, nonna. It's my birthday. It's my birthday. Free and clean. Birthday thing. friend. And I said, I think I've got bigger issues Nonna. Mum's like, Grandma's from a different generation, okay? She doesn't get it. Let it go over your head. And you're like, Grandma's being a bitch. Yeah. Is she from the generation where being

a bitch is okay? Alright, this is Birthday Banger. We do this every day on our show at 5.30. You guys call us up, you tell us your birthdays, and we figure out what was the song that was number one on your Sweet 16, and then we'll play our favourite one in full. We're going to start with Joel. Morena, Joel.

G'day, Joel. Morena, how are we all? Good, mate. How are you? We're going good, man. We just had a bacon and egg pie. How are you going? Oh, beauty. I'm doing good.

I've just come off an eight-hour shift from midnight to 8 a.m. What do you do for work? We're going to an old folks' home. Old folks' home? Oh, beauty. I'm doing good. I've just come off an eight-hour shift from midnight to 8 a.m. What do you do for work? We're going to an old folks' home. Old folks' home? Oh, no way. Yeah. Oh, good man. So having to answer bells and make sure everyone was sleeping okay.

Yeah, it's hard work, but somebody's got to do it, man, so good on you. Do you sometimes take them for races in their wheelchairs? Do you sometimes take them for races? When I used to visit my n they were in a nursing home, we used to race some of the other residents. It was real fun. You work on it. You work on it.

Maybe it can be an annual thing. Let's just say no. We don't play games where we burst our residents against each other. Okay, all right. No, fair enough. You're the professional. Joel, give us your birthday and we'll tell you what your birthday banger is. 1st of February, 1993.

Hey, we're birthday brothers, Joel, you and me. That means you were 16, Joel, in 2009. And on your 16th birthday, this was number one. Oh, you're tugging on our heartstrings, Joel. Bree and I love the fray. How good's the fray, Joel? Can't complain about the fray. Can't complain.

All right, birthday brother, wait there. We'll do a birthday banger for Liam. Kia ora, Liam. Kia ora, Liam. Joel, what's up, sexy people? Oh, I like that. Hello, Liam. How's your day going, mate?

Oh, lovely. Now that I'm talking to you. Oh, stop. No, you stop it. Liam, do you want to hit on Bree or just Bree or do you want to hit on me too? Oh, just you. Oh, so not me. I'm here too.

Hey, I'm here too. I need attention. Liam, what's your birthday, mate? 2nd of Feb 2002. Right, that's the day after my birthday. That means you were 16 in 2018. And on your 16th birthday, Liam, here's your birthday banger. God's plan.

God's plan. I can't do this on my own. I love this song. It was God's plan. We met this way, Liam. I've been missing school. Yeah. You get Drizzy Drake. I don't know how I feel about this song. It was God's plan. We met this way, Liam. Yeah. You get Drizzy Drake.

I don't know how I feel about this one. You don't like it, do you? Nah. Nah. What were you hoping for, Liam? Something other than Drake. The fray? Yeah, fair enough.

Okay, wait there. We'll do a birthday banger for Anika. Atamari, Anika. Welcome to the show. Oh, good morning. How are you? I'm really good. I'm stoked to be through. I've wanted to get on this for ages, welcome to the show. Oh, good morning. How are you? I'm really good. I'm stoked to be through.

Right, that means you were 16 in 1996. And Anika, here it is, finally, your birthday banger. What's love got to do with it?

The Warren G version, not the Tina Turner version. Oh, the Tina Turner version's so good. The Tina Turner would have been awesome. Yeah. Would have been. I mean, we have that power, but. I mean, if you want the Tina Turner version, we can say that that is your entry,

and then we can make our vote. What does that mean? Well, if that's going to win me the birthday banger, go for it. Okay, we'll take it into consideration. Wait there. We need to vote between the Frey, Drake, Warren G G and Tina Turner.

Can I hear some of the Tina? Do we have the Tina Turner one there? Yeah, you can hear a little bit of the Tina Turner one. Yeah, it's a good point. Just because it's Tina doesn't mean it's an automatic, right? Yeah. Okay, here it is. What's love got to do?

It's got to do with it. What's love but a second-hand keyboard? Is it a bit slow? I love Tina Turner. You know, Tina Turner was the second name option for my dog, Whitney Houston. Yeah. That's how much I love her. Or, or... There's a banger as well.

I think I'm going The Fray. Yeah, I think it's a really tough decision this morning. It's very hard, and I think The Fray gets it. What's the feedback we're getting from out there? Producer Ella, what's your... The Fray. The Fray, absolutely. The Fray, The Fray, The Fray gets it. What's the feedback we're getting from out there? Producer Ella, what's your? The Fray. The Fray.

2009? Eight. From the 2000s. That's the fray, and you found me. I never knew. Oh the 2000s, that's the fray and you found me. I would go to a fray concert. Bring back the fray. You know what they should call the concert? Back in the fray.

Yeah, that's good shit, man. Mate, it's the fray. It fits. Let's make it happen. Might not quite be the vibe for the return of ZM's Friday Jams Live, but you know. Oh, it would be the vibe. You reckon?

Yeah. Yeah, need some drums and live guitars at Friday Jams Live. Turn this up a little bit. Let's see. I think it'd be the vibe. I've got a soft rock. Oh. Soft on. That was...

You nearly said something that you shouldn't have. It's time for the latest. Don't adjust your radio. this is The Latest. Live from LA with Dean McCarthy. Don't adjust your radio. This is a real headline. Shaquille O'Neal is playing a DJ set in Sydney next month, Dean. He is. Now, here's the thing.

His DJ name is DJ Diesel. Now, he's actually going to be playing at Marquee in Sydney. Now, I know what you're thinking, seven-foot former athlete. He's just the last person in the world that you would expect to be a DJ, but he's actually like a legit DJ. He has played, where's he played? Tomorrowland, Lollapalooza, EDC, Vegas.
