The ZM Podcast Network. ZM's Brian Clint. But in the morning. Pump me up, am I right? Morning everybody. Welcome to the show. It's Brian Clint on a thirsty Thursday. I didn't even know that the Queenslanders went down in game three last night.

Obviously because we're doing breakfast. I couldn't watch it. Yeah. Oh, too little too late for the blues. Would you have stayed up to watch it if it was a decider? Yes. Yeah. Mate, I'm a true State of Origin Queenslander fan, of course.

Yeah, I know, but can you imagine how rooted you'd be this morning? Oh, I'd be wrecked. I'd be absolutely wrecked because the game doesn't kick off till... 9.30? 10? 9.30, 10? Yeah. 6.60 played at the game last night.

Yes, I remember that they were playing. Yeah. That's awesome. That's a big stage for them. It's all over their social media, yeah. Yeah, because, I mean, State of Origin, a lot of eyes on that around the world. A lot of Kiwis at State of Origin in Australia.

So, yeah, they would have gone off. They would have loved it. Could you imagine? Like, the boys are here. How good. But you know what? As a true rugby league fan, I'm glad that the Blues got one. Oh, it's boring otherwise.

Because you've got to keep it interesting. We want to see close games. We don't want to ever see, you know, a decider that isn't a decider. It's like the Bledisloe. Yeah. It's been destroyed by the All Blacks winning it for, what, 20 years in a row? And that's why the Aussies kind of stopped watching, because we're like, we're never going to win.

Yeah, well, start watching again. Make it a good competition. Well, they need to do something. They need to give us some of the All Blacks. They need to trade a few players into the... Remember when you used to do that at sports? Oh, we need to swap a player. We're a player short.

You have to give us one of yours. Oh, my God. I was that player one time. Yeah. I was so excited about it. You play against your own team. Yeah, and then you just lose the whole time. Yeah. Oh, I was going to say something really important. Oh. Oh no. Oh, I was going to say something really important. Mustn't have been that important. Can't have been. Oh well, carry on

with your life, everybody. Was it about living expense free for 2023? No, it was something really important. That's pretty important. What else? What else is happening? No, it's gone. Hey, next, seeing as all this rain will not go away, I was reading this story about why the things you shouldn't do

during a thunderstorm blew my mind. Never knew any of this stuff. I've lived through enough thunderstorms to have a bit of this information. I've had none of it my whole life. Dance outside naked. I've done that before. Haven't we all? Guys, haven't we all?

In a thunderstorm? Yeah. Really? It's invigorating. I'd be worried it would hit my lightning rod. Oh, God. Don't worry. It needs to be, you know, over.

They can find very small objects, Bree, okay? Lightning can find very small objects. It needs to be, you know, over... They can find very small objects, Brie, okay? Nah, it needs to be... They can find very small objects. It needs to be longer than three inches, I think. How about some Monday morning motivation? Even though it's not Monday, it's Thursday. You ready for this? Yeah, what is it?

Jonas Brothers. Guys, we're on. We're on for a Thursday. Brie and Clint, you're on ZM. Brie and Clint. It's Treaty versus Ladies. Three, two, one, let's go. Here we go, guys.

Tradies versus the Ladies this morning. Score update. The Tradies are on 56 wins for the year. The Ladies pulling away a little bit in the last week. They're on 63. Let's cross live to our lady in Auckland right now. She's 28 years old and she hates bananas. I understand that.

I can understand that hatred. I don't. I'm very picky with my bananas though. Can't eat them anywhere past slightly ripe. Can't do it. Anyway, welcome to the show, Bree. Morning, Bree. Good morning. How bad is it, that part? What do you call, is it like the vein of the banana?

What is that? Oh, the stringy bit. The stringy bit? It's the worst. You're taking on our tradie today, also in Auckland. He's 26 and he can whistle through his teeth. Welcome to the show, Jono. Morning, Jono.

G'day, how you going? Good, thanks. Love my banana. Love your bananas. You love a banana, do you, Jono? The monkey man. Can we get a demo of the teeth whistling, please? Why, thank you, Jono.

I appreciate that. All right, guys. That's good for a tradie, right? Because if you're wolf whistling at people, but you haven't opened your mouth, they won't know it was you. Yeah, exactly. Okay, Jono, you buzzers tradie.

Bree, you buzzers lady. First three correct answers, 50 bucks cash. Good luck, guys. Here we go, guys. Question number one. A group of ravens is known as a what? A flamboyance, a pod, or an unkindness? Trady.

Yes, Jono. An unkindness. An unkindness is what a group of ravens is known as. Well done. One to the tradies. Question number two. What holiday are we celebrating this Friday? Lady.

Bree, you got in first. Matariki. That's correct. Matariki this Friday, which means it's one apiece. Question number three. Buzz in when you can tell me who sings this song. Oh, aren't you? Bree's in. that's won a piece. Question number three. Buzz in when you can tell me who sings this song. Oh, won't you stay with me?

Bree's in. Oh, yeah. Sam Smith. Sam Smith. It is Sam Smith. Nice work. Two to the ladies, one to the tradies. Question number four.

Game three of State of Origin went down last night in Sydney with New South Wales taking it out. What type of sport do they play in State of Origin went down last night in Sydney with New South Wales taking it out. What type of sport do they play in State of Origin? Trading? Yes, Jono. League? It is league. Nice work. We are all tied up here this morning.

This is for the win. Question number five. What everyday item can be described as a QWERTY? Lady? Yes, Bree, for the win. The keyboard? everyday item can be described as a qwerty. Lady. Yes, Brie, for the win. Is it a keyboard? It is a keyboard. She's got it. She's got some sharp

people in the morning. Good game. Hey, Brie, congratulations. You've won Tradiverse Lady. We've got 50 bucks cash coming your way. Perfect. Thank you. You can not buy bananas with that 50 bucks, Bree. Bree and Clint. I was reading this story about what you shouldn't do during a

thunderstorm. And God knows we've had a fair few of those recently. Yeah, there's been some real bad ones. It just doesn't stop raining. I don't think it's stopped raining since January. Isn't it wild that, the part I find so crazy is it can be so sunny, beautiful day, and then like an hour later, like full-blown thunderstorm.

That's what Crowded House said, didn't they? Four seasons in one day. Oh my God, it's like you were playing the song. I know. Did you know that you're not supposed to have a shower during a thunderstorm? No, I don't think I knew that. Neither did I. But it makes sense.

I feel like this is information we should have had. Claudia looks puzzled. She didn't know that. Can I have a guess why? Yeah. In case the power goes out? No. And then you're in the shower in the dark?

No. And that is a dangerous place to be. No, it's because a lot of houses, I know the house that we lived in prior to this one, a lot of the plumbing is in metal pipes. And water conducts electricity as well. So if a lightning strike

hits your house, it can travel through the plumbing into you via the shower. I've never heard of that happening, but it makes sense. Me neither. They said for that reason, you shouldn't have a bath. You should definitely not have a bath in a thunderstorm. Well, there goes my favourite thing to do. It does sound nice having a bath.

Sounds delightful. With a candle in a thunderstorm. You shouldn't wash the dishes or wash your hands during a thunderstorm. Gutted. Finally, a new excuse not to wash the dishes. You can use the dishwasher though. They said the risk of lightning travelling through plumbing might be less with plastic pipes than with metal pipes.

However, it is best to avoid any contact with plumbing in running water during a lightning storm to reduce your risk of being struck. That means you need to stay off the bidet as well. Yep. Yep. Imagine that. Yeah, it goes right up your butthole. The lightning comes out that stream

of water and goes straight into your anus. You don't want that going up there. That's definitely going to give you hemorrhoids. Clean you out though. That'll be a bad case of the hemorrhoids. Thunder douche. They said stay off porches and balconies.

Well, obviously. Don't go near windows and doors. And do not lie down on concrete floors. I didn't get that one. Lie down, why? Maybe the concrete pad is a conductor. I don't understand that one. It says, these are all things you shouldn't do during a lightning storm.

Do not use anything connected to an electrical outlet like computers. Like if you've got your laptop, don't have it plugged into the power and sitting on your lap. But you can use it without it being plugged in. You can use it without it being plugged in. Stay off corded phones. Who? Wait, wait a second.

I would love to talk to someone this morning. Like you can call us now 0800DIALZM or text us on 9696 if you still have a phone that's got a cord. I want one. Do you have a landline that's got a cord? I want a landline. I want my family to be a landline family. More points if it's a dial one, if it's a dial phone. More points if it's that duck one that they had on Jersey Shore.

Remember the duck phone they used to call the taxis on? Cabs are here. More points if it's one of those hamburger ones where you open it in the middle. Have you seen those? Yes. Love those. More points if it's the elf phone. Remember elf?

A-L-F? Alien life form? Yes. And he was the phone and it was all hairy, that phone. More points if it's the big red thing that you see in London, the big phone box, the red phone box. Oh, the big red phone box, the One Direction album cover. Friends of ours had that in their home.

We got one. Hamish, welcome to the show. Good morning. It's Brian Clint. Hi, Hamish. Morning, morning. Are you calling us off a landline? No, I wish.

I wish I still had one. Just for the whole... The aesthetic. The aesthetic of it, yeah. The in-laws still use it. They only get like... I think there's only two family members that call them on it.

So whenever they ring, they know that these are one or the other. Do you ring them on it, Hamish, to make them feel good? I ring their cell phone, and if they don't answer their cell phone I ring the home phone yeah

at least you've got the option I used to ring my parents home phone right up until they got rid of it because I thought well they obviously enjoy talking on the home phone

so did I I still remember my parents landline number 46853201 yeah the main reason why they're keeping it at the moment

is because it's connected to their Netflix subscriptions because with their... They get free Netflix. Yeah. Right. Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. Oh, I mean, yeah, they're smart. Thank you, Hamish.

Emily, are you on a landline right now? No, I'm not on a landline right now. Oh, but it's a great... I thought you were because it's a great connection, Emily. Yeah. Oh, hi, thanks. Who's running a landline right now. Oh, but it's a great, I thought you were because it's a great connection, Emily. Yeah. Oh, hi, thanks. Who's running a landline? No, my parents still have a corded one. They still have a landline with a cord on it? Yeah. Oh, I love it.

Really? But in like, we have pretty big garbage resection at home, like cell resection. Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. Yeah, like two, three people that actually know our landline number. Yeah. Well, give it out. Give your landline number out. Yeah, go on. Might as well. Give your parents a bit of a shock.

Might as well get them some more calls coming in, get some use out of that landline. Don't do that, Emily. They will hate you. Yeah, pretty much. Emily's like, I don't know it. I don't know the number. I never call it. There you go, everybody. What a great experiment. Thank you so much. Emily said, I don't know it. I don't know the number. I never call it. There you go, everybody.

What a great experiment. Thank you, Emily. You know what we should do next week? Yeah? Have a shower under the lightning storm? No, not do that. We should ask people to call us from a car phone. Oh, now that would impress me.

I don't think they work anymore. You don't reckon? Yeah, they're on a different network. No one in New Zealand has a car phone. I don't want to work anymore. You don't reckon? Yeah, they're on a different network. No one in New Zealand has a car phone. I don't want to rain on your parade. Let's do it. Let's give it a go. Let's give it a go.

Brian Clint. Brian Clint. Guys, imagine. Just imagine if you found treasure in your backyard. You dug it up from your backyard. Yeah. Dream. What kind of treasure?

I'm talking. I've found a lot of old bottles before. I mean your backyard. Yeah. Dream. What kind of treasure? I'm talking. I found a lot of old bottles before. I mean, good. Yeah. Like, that's awesome. My mum collected them for a while. Old medicine bottles and like old alcohol bottles from like the 1900s. That's a cool thing to collect.

Yeah. But did she bury them in the backyard? No. Oh. We found them in the backyard. Oh. Oh. We found them in the backyard. Oh, right. We found them buried. I was like, that's a weird place to keep a collection,

buried in the backyard. No, they got dug up, you silly goose. Oh, yeah, that's a cool collection. I'd love to collect old bottles. They used to put so much effort into them. Didn't they? And now they're just mass produced. It's just microplastics destroying the world.

Imagine someone who has a plastic bottle collection. Yeah. They've got a seven up bottle from 1992. They're like, guys. Guys. It's gone a bit yellow because it is plastic, but this is from. Yuck. And then you're like, well, it's actually plastic.

It's actually going to last 5,000 years longer than your glass bottle is. It's never going to disintegrate. It's actually going to last 5,000 years longer than your glass bottle. It's never going to disintegrate. It's never going to change. Never. No, that's, I mean, great to find that in your backyard. But what about a bunch of old gold coins? Well, that's better. That's real treasure, right?

Gold coins from like the 1800s. They're not full of chocolate. No. Okay. No, they're real gold. Yeah. A guy in Kentucky over in the States discovered what he called a small fortune in his backyard. Okay.

So he lives on a rural farm. Obviously, they haven't mentioned where. No. Or else people will be going out there to dig up his farm. He'll get plundered. Yeah, yeah, exactly. He'll get his booty plundered. Literally.

He unearthed 800 Civil War era coins. Whoa! Potentially worth more than a million dollars. Yes. He dug up a million dollars. Yes. He dug up a million dollars. Yes, that's the dream. Isn't that the dream? Civil War era coins.

Yeah, they're calling it the Great Kentucky Hoard and it includes hundreds of US gold pieces dating back to 1840 and 1863. Wow. Isn't that incredible? I thought the Civil War was earlier than that. I thought the Civil War was 1700s. Don't ask me. Yeah, I shouldn't have said that.

Don't ask me. 95% of the coins that he found are known as $1 gold Indians, along with $20 $10 gold Liberty coins and $8 $20 gold Liberty coins. That doesn't mean much to me, but this means something to me. The rarest in the bunch is an 1863 $20 one ounce gold Liberty coin, which they say just that coin on its own can fetch six figures at an auction. This guy has quite literally struck the jackpot. Literally.

Civil War was 1861, by the way. Oh, there you go. It's spot on the money then. Yeah. Literally. Oh, I was thinking of the American Revolutionary War. I always get those mixed up. When they chased the British out.

Like, I always get those mixed up. Because I've just been to Hamilton, not the city, the musical. I was like, what does Hamilton have anything to do with it? Which is confusing because I also went to Hamilton, the city. Wow, that's amazing. And that really floats my boat. I'm so into that stuff. God, that's like my dream.

That is honestly my dream to dig up literal treasure like that. Start digging. When you get home, start digging. You've got a terrier. Get him out there. Get him digging. Get her digging. You know what? I've always wanted to Google this. How much abandoned treasure do you think is at the bottom of the

ocean? I don't know, but I don't think it's the best time to be going down to the bottom of the ocean. I don't know if you've seen the news recently. Hasn't had great press. Well, maybe you'll change your mind when you hear this. It says here, how much treasure is at the bottom of the ocean? The short answer is $60 billion. $60 billion.

Didn't change my mind. Okay. This fight between Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg is going ahead. Zuck is training with possibly the best fighter in the world right now. Because he has money, he can do that. He can pretty much ask and pay anyone. But the person that he's training with is somebody that we all respect and would not be doing this just for a payday. He

wouldn't be doing it if he didn't think that Mark Zuckerberg could win this fight. That's what I believe. Okay. Mark Zuckerberg is training for his cage fight against Elon Musk. Yes, those words just came out of my mouth. With Israel Adesanya. Really?

The champ. The style bender. Interesting. Izzy, don't look at the screen yet, okay? Izzy tweeted a picture of him and Zuck in the dojo or whatever it is, wherever they train. And they are sweaty and they have been

wrestling. So weird. He Instagrammed it to his 8.2 million followers. This is on Izzy's Instagram account. Not on Zuck's. It's on Izzy's. Can you imagine how much Israel Adesanya is getting paid? Yeah, that for sure.

It would be a fortune. But he wrote this. He wrote this under the photo. No Fugazi with Mark. This is serious business. Yeah. Look at all the dollar signs in my bank account. Are you ready to see a picture

of Mark Zuckerberg with his shirt off? I'm ready. Okay, so he's sweaty. He's got his cage fighting shorts on. Brie, when you're ready, have a look at the screen now. Oh yeah, he looks pretty fit. He looks pretty good. Yeah. he looks pretty fit. He looks pretty good.

Yeah. He looks pretty good. I mean he looks sweaty. He looks tiny. But he looks ripped and strong. Yeah, he looks strong. He looks fit. But you know where my eyes go to? His hairy chest? Nah, nah. Like his torso and let me explain. His core? His torso

and his, like from the hips upwards, looks strong, solid. Yeah, yeah, yeah. His legs look a little bit chicken leg. I think he skipped leg day. Yeah. I think he skipped leg day. Well, do you think the fight is going to be leg

or upper body focused? You know what? I've watched a lot of UFC, and I'm not like being sarcastic when I say that. I actually love UFC, and I've watched a lot of UFC. And I'm not being sarcastic when I say that. I actually love UFC and I've watched quite a lot. If you cop a couple of real hard kicks to your legs, you're done. You're over. And so if your legs aren't strong, it's all over, Red Rover.

Well, if you need somebody to get your motor pairing this morning, how about a picture of Mark Zuckerberg with no shirt on? You can find it on Israel Adesanya's Instagram account. Just search up Stylebender. Do you reckon he's real stoked with himself? I would be. Look, he's obviously worked hard. He's so stoked with himself.

Yeah. Yeah. It's like he's been on the bloody 12-week F45 challenge, you know? Mate. These are his before and afters. I did the 12-week F45 challenge, you know? Mate. These are his before and afters. I did the 12-week F45 challenge. I didn't look like that. Yeah, well, neither.

I think he's done a little bit more. He's probably been training for six years for this. Bree and Clint. Just quickly, have you seen this new burger that Burger King have put out? I've seen it. It's got like a million pieces of cheese on it. This is ridiculous. It looks like an April Fool's prank.

It looks like something that will block you up until 2024. Correct. Burger King Thailand have released what they're calling the real cheeseburger. It's a regular burger bun, cheeseburger bun, with 20 slices of American cheese. No. 20 slices of American cheese. Like, I'm a fan of cheese. We all know that

It's one of my favourite things in the world That is a no from me No meat No sauce Just bun 20 slices of cheese Bun Hey we're getting

We're getting some McMuffins this morning Can we get 20 slices of cheese on it please? I wonder if they'd even do it I reckon they would If you pay for it they'll do it Really? Yeah It's like a dollar a slice of cheese though Is it please? I wonder if they'd even do it. I reckon they would. If you pay for it, they'll do it. Really? Yeah.

It's like a dollar a slice of cheese, though, isn't it? Is it? I don't know. Isn't it? Ella? Do you want me to ask? Yeah, ask them. Can I have one burger with nothing in it but just 10 slices of cheese?

Nah, get a normal McMuffin, but I just want 20 slices of cheese on it. On the side or in it? In it. Oh, gosh, okay. It'll be enormous. This burger in Thailand, the launch special, it's five bucks. Right. But the equivalent of five New Zealand dollars.

But the normal price for this burger is $17.50. What? For a bun with 20 pieces of cheese inside it. That costs $17.50? Yeah. Yeah. This is a real burger. This is a real burger. It That costs $17.50? Yeah. Yeah. This is a real burger. This is a real burger.

It looks like a joke. This is a real burger. I've been on Twitter. I've looked at people who have gone and bought it. It's a PR stunt, surely. It looks better in the promo photo because the cheese is a little bit melted. I went on Twitter and saw some people who have bought it, and the cheese is not melted.

Because there's no meat to melt the cheese. It looks terrible. There's 20 raw dog pieces of cold American cheese inside a bun. No thanks. So I wonder if they're going to bring that here. Yeah. I reckon it's just a gimmick. You could replicate it.

You could go to Burger King right now, and you could replicate it. It's a gimmick, a PR stunt, so all the stupid media people fall into the trap, and they talk about it. Stupid media people. Who would do that? Oh, no. Who would do that?

They've got us again. I found this really interesting. It's a thread that's gone viral on Twitter, which asks the question, what makes you go, you know what, I'm with the boomers? Oh, jeez. Essentially saying, what are boomer opinions, lifestyle choices and attitudes that you actually agree with?

There'd be heaps. There would be heaps, but society has pitted us against each other. Absolutely. And so we only really talk about the ones that we disagree on. Chris Parker's got a really good bit in his stand-up at the moment where he talks about how the world has made millennials and Gen Zs against boomers. That's the fight.

Millennials, Gen Zs versus boomers. It's us two versus them. And he goes, how come no one is talking about Gen X? I know, poor Gen X, eh? Well, no, no, no, because they just get the best of both worlds. They get that. They got the house prices before they went crazy. They get forgotten about, though.

No one wants to talk about Gen X. I think Gen X are fine with it. I think they're happy to fly out of the radar. Do you reckon, or do you think they want to be involved in the fight? Oh, they want to get in the fight? Fine. In the argument. Pick a side, Gen X.

I feel like they'd come with the millennials. Are you with us? Come on, jump on board, Gen X. Do you reckon Gen X relate more to us millennials or more to the boomers? I think us millennials. They're children of the boomers. They're just the children of the oldest boomers. I think they're more millennials.

Right. Yeah. Well, here are some things that people have said on Twitter that they agree with the boomers on. I want to know if you agree with these things. Okay. Okay. Oh, God.

Don't ask me about real tough questions. These are posted by millennials and Gen Zs, things they agree with the boomers. Give me a goddamn physical menu. I am not using my phone to scan a QR code at a restaurant. Oh, that one hits me right in my core. See, it depends what mood I'm in. Really?

Yeah. I don't want to take my phone out at all at a restaurant. I don't mind being able to, like, when you're on your phone and you scan the code, you can choose exactly and you can change things, you know? And, I mean, it's for a couple of minutes that you're ordering. Oh, I'm on the fence. I hate it.

I'm on the fence. I hate it. I'm on the fence. This is things people agree with the boomers on. Boomer music is better than Zoomer music. Boomers do have great music. They do have great music. Oh, fantastic music.

They've got the Rolling Stones. They've got Elvis. They've got Elton John. The Bee Gees. They've got Dolly Parton. Donna Summer. Yeah. And what have the Zoomers got?

They've got Pink Pantheress and Ice Spice. Are the Zoomers us or the Gen Zs? No, Zoomers are Gen Z. Yeah. Yeah. Who else do they got? I mean, they got Olivia Rodrigo. Oh, yeah.

Who's pretty amazing. They got Lil Nas X. Yeah. There's some good stuff out there. Okay, on the fence. On the fence. Put the phone down while eating at the dinner table Yeah

I totally am on board with that one Writing physical thank you notes and Christmas cards Sending pre-printed thank you cards And just signing them at the bottom does not count Nah You're not into that Stuff that noise I don't do it but I love the idea of it

I love the idea of writing a thank you card. Someone literally opens the card and goes, oh, that's nice. In the bin. No, but they go, oh, wow, that person thought about me and went to the effort. No? Okay. Yeah, but that could be, you know, done with a really nice, nicely worded text message too. Things that boomers got right. No,

not a nicely worded text message. Why not? No, that doesn't mean anything. Like a heartfelt text message. Of course it does. You didn't go to any effort. You probably got Siri to write that. I write some really heartfelt text messages. My mum loves it. She said to me she looks forward to it every year on her birthday.

She's like, I always look forward to my really heartfelt message from you. Imagine if you surprised her with a card. Same thing. Yeah. Honouring plans that you make. Yes. Totally on board with this one. They said, like, I get it.

Sometimes you need to cancel on someone for your own wellbeing, but I've seen so many 30 people RSVP'd to this party and only two showed up posts. When it becomes a trend that you cancel, that's when it's not okay. Yeah. Okay, we agree? Yeah, agree. 100%.

Things we agree with the boomers on. Go play outside. Yeah, agree. Agreed. People spend too much time on their phones. Agreed. Ironically, that was shared by someone on their phone. PDFs are unnecessarily

difficult. PDFs. Oh, yeah. I have to agree with them. Like, it's so hard to make any changes or write anything. Can I copy paste out of this PDF into another document? Can I do that? Like do I have to put a text message box in the PDF every time I want to start a new work? Oh, this one gets me. Oh man, things we agree with the boomers on. Headphone jacks should have never been taken out of phones. Agreed. Don't get me wrong, I'm fine with Bluetooth,

but wires were not nearly the inconvenience that people thought they were. At least not enough to outright get rid of the headphone jack altogether. Now there's the issue that when, you know, you're on your laptop and you want a pair of headphones, none of the headphones fit into the headphone jack that's in the laptop. I agree. Or when you're on a plane. I agree.

Things we agree with the boomers on. People need to stop ghosting each other and be more direct. Learn how to keep friendships. Yeah, I have to agree. Go through the hard times with someone. Have the hard conversations. Yeah, but I also believe in if that person isn't bringing you joy or making your life better, then you also can acknowledge that and move on.

I think it's talking about real friends though. I like to try my clothes on before I buy them. That's me. I hate online shopping. I'm an online shopper through and through. I want to own my media like your music, your movies.

You want to own it. You don't want to just stream it and have the risk of it being taken down at some stage. Nah, I'm fine. I'm fine with that too. That was such a, you know, when you had LimeWire and iTunes.

iTunes was never good, let's be honest. We spent thousands of dollars on iTunes too. iTunes was a crappy platform. Two more, two more. Things we agree with the boomers too. iTunes was a crappy platform. Two more. Two more. Things we agree with the boomers on. There's food at home. I slowly am turning into, well, we got food here. We should just make something here.

Waste of money. And the last one. The music in this restaurant is just too damn loud. If you agree with that one, you're getting old. That one means you're getting old. No, I can't say I've thought that recently. Yeah, nah, me neither. But you know what I do do?

When I'm looking, like driving somewhere, and I've got my maps on my phone, and I need to turn the music down when I'm getting close to the destination. Me too, I have to turn the music down to find a car park. For some reason, yeah, I can't concentrate and find the address at the same time. Tomorrow, we get the day off for Matariki. Oh, yeah.

Only the second time ever that we've had the day off for Matariki. Yeah, it's pretty special. Like, not often does a new public holiday just happen. Yeah. Yeah. What's it all about, though? To explain that, we've got friend of the show, Cara Rickard in studio.

Morena, Cara. Morena. You know this stuff, so. Well, I do. I want to preface this chat by saying I'm not an expert and like the rest of New Zealand, this is a new holiday. So I have been learning

over the last couple of years through the mahi of people like Dr Rangi Matamua, who was our New Zealander of the year. And yeah, it's the first reinstated Indigenous holiday, which is pretty amazing. It's pretty amazing. Pretty amazing indeed.

It's so special. And I don't think people, they're still wrapping their heads around it, I think. Let's start at the very start of it. What are we celebrating when we celebrate Matariki? So Matariki, the star cluster, which you also might know as Pleiades or Subaru, can be seen for most of the year.

But the thing... Did you just say Subaru? Yeah. As in Subaru? As in Subaru the car. And their logo is stars. Oh! Is their logo the Matariki cluster?

Are we talking the WRX or the STI? All of them. All of them. We're talking the Forrester, babes. I like it. I like it. That has blown my mind. Didn't you?

I thought everybody knew. No, I didn't know that. I didn't know that. So Subaru Pleiades, also Matariki. Okay. So Matariki can be seen for most of the year, but around May it disappears. So it kind of sets.

And I think that's because the position of the sun blocks it for us. And so at the beginning of winter, a few months later, it rises again. And so that's what heralds the new year for Maori. So Matariki is not a specific day. Like today is not the only day. Or Friday is not the only day you can see Matariki. You can see Matariki in the sky for a whole moon cycle from when it rises again.

So that's what I was going to ask. Is Matariki one day? It's not, is it? It's not. Is it a fixed period of time? Yeah, well Matariki... Or does it change every year? It changes every year. So I think next year Matariki rises on the 29th of June. Yeah? Yeah, so there's a Matariki rises on the 29th of June. Yeah.

So there's a Matariki advisory group and they've looked at the moon and all of that celestial stuff and worked out what day our Matariki holiday will fall on for the next 10 years. I love that. I love that it's not like a set day and it's like based on, you know, what's actually happening with the stars. And I love that, you know, it kind of is significant of when it rises again. And that's really cool.

Yeah, not like the king's birthday where we have a holiday. Yeah. It's not even his birthday. Exactly. It wasn't his mum's birthday either. I know. It's just when we do it. Yeah.

So what are some of the traditions to do with Matariki? You know, so Christmas we give presents and Easter we eat chocolate. Is there any specific traditions that people can adapt for Matariki. You know, so Christmas we give presents and Easter we eat chocolate. Is there any specific traditions that people can adapt for Matariki? Not in terms of giving gifts, but I think the main focus for Matariki is reflecting on the past. It's big for Maori to remember all of the people

that we've lost in the last year because what happens is all of the people that have passed away are kind of held up in the sky and when Matariki rises again they're all thrown out as stars so there's a saying in Maori ko a fetu rangi here which you might hear at funerals and stuff which means you've become a star and so that happens you know they're all kind of held for a year by the sky up in the sky and then they're thrown out. So we look to the sky and we remember the people that we've lost.

It's really important to also just be present and be really grateful for your life and the people in it. For now. Yeah, for now. And spending time with your family is a big thing. But then also making plans for the future. It could be a good chance to have another go at all the New Year's resolutions you failed on the 1st of January.

You can start again. It's a start afresh. They can be Māori New Year resolutions. Yeah. Can I just say, I've just had a realisation as well, is that in The Lion King, they talk about how, you know, or Mufasa talks about how people who have passed over are up there in the sky and the stars.

It's like real similar. Yeah, it's a common thing between kind of indigenous cultures taking care of our dead and stuff. To look for the stars as ancestors. Yeah. Well, there you go. I like it. I love it. Thanks so much for coming in. You're welcome. And you've explained

it so beautifully and your voice is so soothing. If there's one thing I could say, get together with the people that you love and care about and have a massive kai and be grateful for each other and remember the people that you love. Which is what I think people are doing. I think a lot of people are travelling home for the

long weekend to see their family so I think people are getting it and people are getting on board. So there you go. That's Cara Rickard. Thanks for putting it in words we can understand. We appreciate it. Time to play What's the Plot? Once upon a time, there was a Putting it in words we can understand. We appreciate it. Yeah, thanks, Cara. Mana wata, amatere ki. Brie and Clint. Time to play What's the Plot? Once upon a time, there was a girl.

She was smart, debatable, talented, eh, athletic. Not really. But picking a movie title based on just the plot line, that she can do. Brie and Clint's What's the Plot? A movie guessing game where you go head to head with Bree. This morning we're playing for $250 cash. And Grace, you have the honour of taking Bree on this morning.

Hi. Morning, Grace. Good morning. How are you? Good, thanks. You watch a lot of movies? Yep, I do. Well, good.

That's all you need for this game. That's all you need, yeah. Can't win this game if you don't watch movies What I do in this game is I read out plot lines And the first one of you two to buzz in with your name And tell me the name of that movie gets a point You just need two points to win the game That's the whole game Two points, okay Grace?

Yep Your buzzer is your name You don't wait for me to finish those plot lines You go as soon as you think you know what it is. Today, because the Barbie movie comes out in a week, we're taking a look at some of Margot Robbie's best movies. Oh, she's been in a few now, hasn't she? She's been in more than you think.

Okay. Okay. All right. You ready, Grace? Yeah. Good luck. $250 cash. Buzz in with your name Yeah. Good luck. $250 cash. Buzz in with your name.

Here we go. Movie number one. An actor gained fame and fortune by starring in a 1950s television western but is now struggling to find meaningful work in a Hollywood that he doesn't recognise. Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Correct. I hated that movie too, but I've seen it.

Did you not like it? It's got Brad Pitt in it. Yeah, Quentin Tarantino. Yeah, it wasn't my favourite. It's got Leonardo DiCaprio in it. It's got a massive star-studded cast. It's got Margot Robbie in it. I think I was too dumb to understand the concept.

Have you seen it, Grace? No, I haven't, so I had no chance. No chance. Okay. Okay. Let's go to another one. These are Margot Robbie movies. To be honest, I haven't. So I had no chance. No chance. Okay. Okay. Let's go to another one. These are Margot Robbie movies. To be honest, I forgot she was in it.

Did you? Yeah. I don't think of that film when I think Margot Robbie. Well, you don't have to think. That's one way of attacking this. You can just listen to the plot and not think about Margot Robbie. Or just fire off Margot Robbie movies. Movie number two.

A veteran con artist takes a novice under his wing. Brie, Focus. Damn! No one has seen Focus. I've seen it a million times. It's a great film. Will Smith, one of my favourites. And that is a movie I do think of when I think Margot Robbie.

Grace, sorry mate. Sorry Grace. We've got a spot prize for you. If you hang on the line we'll get a spot prize for you. Awesome, thank you. Thanks for playing Grace. Have a good morning. Didn't Focus get like really bad reviews? I thought it was great. I really

liked it. We were looking at I, Tonya next. Oh, I've seen it. Great movie. We're looking at About Time as well from Margot Robbie. I love that movie. If you, this morning, my movie recommendation is that movie, About Time. It's got, what's her name from the notebook?

Yes, producer called? Rachel McAdams. It's got Rachel McAdams and the whole concept is that this guy who's the main character, their family, all the men in their family are able to time travel. That's right. It's when Rachel McAdams did nothing but time travelling movies because she also did the time traveller's wife at the same time. This one is the best one.

It's a great movie. Bree and Clint. Time for a birthday banger. Bree and Clint. All I want for my birthday is a birthday banger. Here we go. A birthday banger to get you to work or maybe to get you home, depending on your hours. This is where you can call us, tell us your birthday, and we figure out with some radio magic what was the number one song on the day you turned 16. Is it Carly?

Is your name Carly? Yes, that's right. We're under pressure. It's written down here as Crailey, but I didn't think anyone had the name Crailey, so I took a chance. Hi, Carly? Yes, that's right. We're under pressure. It's written down here as Crayley, but I didn't think anyone had the name Crayley. Crayley. I took a chance. Hi, Carly. Happy Thursday morning. Thank you.

Where are you off to this morning, Carly? Just off to work. Oh, nice. Well, let's get you there with a birthday banger. What's your date of birth? 27 May 1980. All right. That means, Carly, you were 16 in 1996. And on your 16th birthday, this was at the top.

There's Tupac. There he is. Banger. Banger. It's a good one, Carly. Tupac, California love. Carly's into it. They'll do the tracklist.

So a birthday banger for Emma. Morning, Emma. Morning. You there, Emma? Oh, yeah, I am. Sorry, I thought you said good morning for me. Emma's like, she just stole my good morning. I thought you were talking to me.

Little B. Emma, let's do your birthday banger, shall we? What's your birthday? 18th of March, 1988. Right, that means you were 16 in 2004. And on the 18th of March, 2004, this was number one. I don't know what it is that makes me feel like... Oh, it's good, Emma.

Oh, I don't know. You're not a fan of the one hit wonder Jamelia superstar. No, not really at all. You didn't have Singstar on PS2? Yeah, I did. Just avoided this song. You went into this one.

No, not at all. If I know Emma, she was more a Colby Calais, bubbly type of girl. Emma's like, no. Also no. All the songs on that game are burnt into your memory, eh? I know. Like the 99 Red Balloons song?

Absolutely, yeah. Like the Colby Calais bubbly song would have been her biggest hit. She would have made so much money out of that. She would have made a fortune. Brad's here for a birthday banger. Hey, Brad. G'day, Brad. Hey, good morning.

How's your morning going so far? Oh, not too bad. Just settling Auckland traffic. Oh, as you do, as you do. Well, let's get you through it. What's your birthday? 31st of the 10th, 77th. All right, Brad,

that means you were 16 in 1993. And Brad, this is your birthday banger. Oh, give it to me, Brad. This song comes up so much. And I always am here for it. Brad, are you a fan of Culture Beat, Mr. Vain? I know it and, yeah, I would get along to it

but I can't do it but we love I like friends You reckon some hardcore trance music is what we need to get us to work on on a Thursday morning

It would help Why not Call him Mr Raider Call him Mr Wrong I feel like I'm at a Les Mills aerobics class in the 1990s And you got your

leg warmers on It's out of Jamelia and Tupac for me. What are you voting for? Culture Beat, Mr. V. No, you are not. You are not. I can vote for it.

Be serious. I know it's not going to win. Be serious. I go with my heart, and my heart says Culture Beat. Okay, well, then I'm going to go with Tupac, California Love. Claudia's going to get the decider this morning. Claudia, what are you going to do? Oh, gosh then I'm going to go with Tupac, California Love. Claudia's going to get the decider this morning. Claudia, what are you going to do? Oh, gosh. I'm going wild. Last day of

the week, we're doing Culture Beat. No, we're not. Yes! I was going to vote Jamelia, though. I wasn't going to go with either of you. I thought I'd won. I tried, guys. I tried. She's not into it, but we

are. Emma. Emma, you just won birthday banger. You won. Yeah, you won. So now you have to sit through this song. Brie and Clint, you're on Zed-M. Brie and Clint. The winner of birthday banger this morning

from 2004. That is a banger from Jamelia. It's called Superstar. It's called Immer. I remember the video clip for it. It was quite good. Yeah. She got a strong runway walk in the video.

Was she a wonder, Jamelia? I'm pretty sure. Or maybe she did maybe have one that went okay, like a second one maybe, but not as good as that one. She had the song Thank You, Jamelia Thank You. Doesn't ring a bell. She was a one-hit wonder.

Yeah, I thought so. I'd rather be a one-hit wonder than a no-hit wonder. Mate, what have we done? I'd rather be on SingStar than not be on SingStar. Absolutely. Yeah, I mean, and her one hit was huge. I want to talk about this real cute story that I saw this week because it's just adorable and it's happened on a Virgin Australia flight.

Oh, yeah. The airline. When a child has accidentally left their teddy bear on a flight. Nightmare. Leaving anything on a flight, nightmare, you're probably going to really struggle to get it back. I mean nightmare for the parents who have to deal with that child who don't have their toy. You know, because that is like... Because they've probably travelled somewhere, they're probably away from home,

so the kid's already in an unfamiliar place. You take the bear as a piece of comfort from home. Oh, no. Yeah. Just an absolute nightmare. And the Virgin Australia team actually decided, we need to post this on our Facebook page and try and reunite this teddy with its owner

because I'm sure they're missing it. So they posted on their Facebook page, we're sure there's a berry upset little one at home missing their furry friend. If you've flown to Perth recently and seem to have lost one of your pack while travelling, this cuddly bear has been on quite the adventure and is ready to come home for a snuggle. That's safe too because like if you put up,

hey, who left thesepods on the plane everyone will go oh those are mine are they white? Those are my ones. I also left some gold bullion on the plane. Whereas the market for second hand teddy bears I don't think is as big. No there's not a black market for it.

Not so much. Anyway several hours after making the post apparently Virgin posted again and said, we think we've found this family, this little one's family, and the bear was reunited with Harry, who was very happy to get back his teddy. I wonder if it's like when you leave your wallet or your phone in an Uber and you have to pay the return fare for the driver to bring it back to you,

so you have to pay for the driver to drive from their house to your house to return the phone. Do you have to buy a seat for the bear to get the bear back? Because apparently the bear booked itself into first class and the family had to foot the bill. They were ropeable about it. The bear went ham on the food on the Virgin flight. Yeah.

Gutted. Ate like four things of manuka honey, like was just like getting into it. That's a feel good story. It's really cute. It's such a cute story. There's a photo of Harry and the teddy and the teddy looks quite old. So obviously it's well loved. Yeah.

And it made me think about whether people, I love hearing about people if they still have their childhood toy. Yeah. Because a lot of people still do. A lot of people still have the toy from the day that they were born. They were given a stuffed toy and they still have it as an adult. Some people, from what I've heard, not me, still sleep with that animal. Oh, no, too far.

Too far. Because I've seen it on Love Island a few times. They have that disgusting bunny that they hand around, don't they? There was one, it was like a jellyfish and it just looked so dirty. I've got mine. I've got a wily coyote. Oh yes. Stuffed wily coyote.

He's in great nick too, considering he's the same age as me. He's in better nick than me. If someone said, I'll give you 20 grand for it. Wouldn't do it because I've given it to my daughters. And they love it. They love that coyote. 20 grand, you would do it, don't they? If they're listening, I would never do it.

You would buy them a new one. If they're not listening. You could buy them six. If they're not listening, I'd do it for 10. I mean, you'd do it for 100. Let's be real. Well, maybe not 100. Not 100.

That's pretty cheap. I thought we could ask people to call this morning on 0800-DIALS-IT-M. Do you still have your childhood toy? How old is it? And extra points if you know someone that still sleeps with their toy. We're asking you to be honest this morning. Do you still have your childhood toy? And do you sleep with it?

How old is the toy? It's quite amazing some people texting through with how long these toys last. Yeah. Wow. Last. I think last is subjective. Some of them look like they've survived a nuclear holocaust. You know? And they're like, this is da-dums. We've been through everything together. And it also... We've been through everything except the washing machine. Don't touch it because you'll get a staph infection.

I love this text that's come through. Let's kick it off with this one. I'm ashamed to say that I have a piece of fabric that I call cuddly that I've had since I was a kid. I'm now 36 years old and I still have that same piece of fabric that I sleep with. Wow. I wonder what it is. It'll just give you some kind of comfort.

Absolutely. I don't think you should be ashamed of that. I think it's fine. It's just a piece of fabric. It's just a piece of fabric. Like a flannel. I had a blanket as a kid and there was satin like on parts of it. Yeah.

And I used to rub the satin and just touch it so much that eventually the blanket ended up as like a quarter of the size. Really? And my mum kept having to sew new satin on it. You rubbed it down. Okay, but that blanket a good rub. Philip's here. Hey, Philip.

G'day, Philip. How are you? Good, thank you, mate. You still got your childhood toy? No, I don't, but my partner does, and I'm going to shame her for it. Okay, give it to us, Phillip. So she's had this little teddy that's named Sheepy. Six months old.

Okay. She's 21. Refuses to clean it and still sleeps with it, so I have to sleep with it next to me all the time. She refuses to clean it, and sleeps with it. So I have to sleep with it next to me all the time. She refuses to clean it and it's in the bed with you. How early into the relationship did she introduce Sheepy to the bed situation? Philip, was Sheepy there on the first night you slept over? Yeah.

Philip, how old is she? She's 21 now. Okay, okay. You know, Sheepy probably needs a wash. What would happen, Philip, if you stole Sheepy and gave Sheepy a wash? I've tried. I've tried so many times and it hasn't come to fruition yet. Yeah.

Well, you're in a thripple, Philip. It's you, your partner, and Sheepy. Yeah. Yep. That's what it is for you guys going forward. Thanks, Philip. We appreciate it. Let's go to Shani. Hi, Shani. Hi, Shani. Hi. Tell us,

Shani, is it you that still has their childhood toy? No, it's my little sister. Okay. She has a blanket that she calls Blankly. Blankly? Yeah, it's quite cute. Cute. Gidget, if, it's quite cute. Cute. Gadget, if you're listening, I'm sorry.

My mum got it for her when she was pregnant and she's had it for 26 years now. Right. It's held on by like a knot in the middle of it. If she was to like undo the knot, it would probably fall apart. It's been through heat, burns and all. It survived everything.

It's disgusting. What do you think, Shani, she's so attached to the blanket? When she was a little kid, I mean, she still does this now, she used to carry it around with her and suck her thumb and have it in her hand and sniff it. She does not do that now. How old is she?

She's 26. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. It's time for some tough love. It's time to, thank you, Shawnee. It comforts her. Listen to this. My dad's 55, and for his 50th, my nan gave him his teddy from the day that he was born.

It is shoved in the back of our wardrobe because it's hella creepy looking after 50 years. One eye's kind of falling out. Yeah, yeah, yeah. This one's real cute too. I have a cuddly toy pig that my dad couldn't resist buying on an overseas trip and he had pride of place on my bed until I moved out when I was 18. Then at my wedding this January, my parents bought him over from the UK and surprised me. I absolutely bawled my eyes out. I'm 33.

Aww. It can do that to you, eh? It reminds you of happy times, right? Or sad times as well. Wow, my nan is 93 and still has a bear she's had since she was two. Wow. Did I get that thing on

Antiques Roadshow. Oh, yeah, but I thought the repair shop. Oh, I wonder what kind of... Get them to restore the beer. Yeah, I wonder what kind of neck it's in. Probably not the best if it's... None of these sound like they're in very good condition. Someone said, I used my baby pillow up until I was in my 40s,

replaced it with another baby pillow. Ew. You're meant to replace your pillows every two years. You've had that thing for 40 years? Can you imagine the stains on that pillow? The drool? Yeah. Brian Clint. Got a situation where we can all objectively sit on the outside and weigh in on the discussion.

Okay. I do like these because it doesn't have any effect on my life. No. But you get to have an opinion. So here's the situation. A woman is asking for advice after, so she was dating this guy. Yeah. They've been dating for about five years.

Okay. On their fifth year anniversary, he proposed to her. Good. Which is exciting. Yeah. They didn't have any family jewels or family heirlooms in the family. Family jewels? Family jewels.

That's what it's written on there. He didn't have any family jewels? He didn't have any, you know, rings that they passed down or anything like that. I know what you mean. So he had a goldsmith craft a wedding ring that he specifically designed for her. Which is pretty special. So he had the ring made. Pretty special but also

pretty risky as a man. You have no idea what she's into. What if she doesn't like it and you've fully designed and made it from scratch? Give her a placeholder and let her design the ring. That's my opinion but good. Romantic. He's into it. So dating for five years. Had the ring. Yeah. Okay. That's my opinion, but good. Romantic. He's into it. Yeah. So dating for five years, had the ring made, proposed to her.

Sadly, after a couple of months, her fiance got sick and passed away, which is really sad. And then like a month after this all kind of happened, his sister and his mum went to this woman and said, we want that engagement ring back. Excuse me? We want the ring back, is what they said. Excuse me? Apparently, this was their words, according to this woman. They said, since you never got married and never will, we should have the ring and give the ring back to his real family

since it represented a promise that will never be fulfilled. No, that's nasty. Isn't it? That is low. The woman said. Can I just check? Yes. Did they break up before he passed away?

No. He passed away and they were still engaged. Yeah, exactly. He never left her. Never left her. She never left him before he passed away? No. He passed away and they were still engaged. Yeah, exactly. He never left her. Never left her. She never left him. No. They were engaged.

She lost her fiance. Exactly. Oh. And this woman, obviously, she's dealing with, you know, the loss of her fiance. Yeah. And she kind of said she would understand if it was a family ring. Yep.

You know, and she said, I wouldn't hesitate and I would give that back to the family, you know, that it belongs to the family. But she said, he made that ring specifically for me. I'm not giving it back. A hundred percent. It's my ring. A hundred percent. They clearly never liked her.

That's what she says in this as well. They clearly always had a problem with her and saw her as someone that they didn't want their son or brother to be with. And now that he's gone, they decided to put the boot in. That is low. Isn't it? It's the lowest of the low. Because also, what are you going to do with that ring?

They're probably just, it's probably a money grab. They're like, oh, we'll take that. He paid for it. We'll take it. You're not going to pass it down the family line and go, this was Aaron's ring that he gave to his fiance before he passed away. We then took it off her. Yeah, we took it from her. And now you can use

it as a symbol of your love for all eternity. The grieving girlfriend so we could have it in our family. I think we're on the same page. I think we are too. I think we're on the same page. Oh, actually you never know with Claudia. Claudia, are you on the same page. Oh, actually, you never know with Claudia. Claudia, are you on the family side in this situation? Yeah, I'll be different.

Yeah, yeah, I'm on the family side. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I thought, oh yeah, good to have balance. Nice, Claudia. Keeping it real. Claudia's like, screw that B. Bree and Clint.

Time for the latest from iHeartRadio. This is the latest. There is massive news out of the Spears camp. They're talking about her book, her memoir, which now has a release date. Spears book?

The Spears book. Which one, Jamie Lynn? No, obviously Britney. Obviously. The title, cover art and release date for the book has finally been revealed and it will hit bookshelves October 24 and it's called The Woman in Me.

Britney's memoir. Britney Spears' memoir. It features a black and white photo of a topless Britney Spears taken back in 2001 and they reckon it's going to break records, this book. I wonder who wrote it. Yeah, well, I mean, obviously, someone could have ghostwritten it, but it will be from her. Apparently, they...

Sam Lansky. Yeah, so she would have obviously... Which is very normal, by the way, to have someone else write the memoir for you. Super normal. If you're not a writer. Exactly, super normal. Because it's a skill. It's definitely a skill. Dean is actually with us someone else write the memoir for you. Super normal. If you're not a writer. Exactly, super normal. Because it's a skill.

It's definitely a skill. Dean is actually with us. We got hold of him. Hi, Dean. Hi, Dean. Hi, guys. Yeah, so October is coming out. It's called The Woman in Me.

And just like you said, all these big stars always have a ghostwriter. Even like the president of the USA has a ghostwriter when they write their memoirs. That's super normal. Very, super normal. Very, very normal. And yeah, Britney is going to tell all. Probably the reason why she didn't do any big interviews because this is going to be the first time from the horse's mouth that we've heard her, you know,

recount of everything that's happened. So it's going to be pretty juicy. Obviously, the only time we've really heard her speak about this was during the conservator court case. You may remember she did that 21-minute phone call and she called in and we're all crowded around our phones. It was dramatic. Well, now we're going to hear it all.

So the book, October, I can't wait. I read somewhere that it's one of the biggest book deals of all time and allegedly could be worth as much as US $15 million, which is one of the biggest deals of all time behind the Obama's book deal. Yeah, right. Wow. There you go.

So it's massive. Did you guys see the video this week of her dirty dancing with her dog? Yes, I did. I did see it. Did you see it, Dean? I haven't seen it. The poor dog got an absolute face full. Makes me so sad.

I know we're laughing and stuff, but she's... I just hope that she has some good people around her. There was a bit of time there where she was in videos with some other guy and her husband wasn't there. Yeah, yeah. But now they're kind of, it seems like they're back together. Is there any news on that, Dina?

Her and her husband are still all okay? Well, I think they are okay because he was actually with her in Vegas on the weekend, maybe two weekends ago when she tapped the, well, went to tap the NBA player on the shoulder. So he was actually with her. So from all accounts, I think they're definitely still together. They were last weekend. So just like you said, I hope that she does have some good people in her side for the book.

And I hope that the book is telling her real story. And I hope it doesn't, you know, get swayed in any way. So fingers crossed. Look, I mean, everyone knows I don't read many books, but I will be sitting down and reading that back to front. You'll read it? Back to front, front to back. You can tell I don't read many books.

You're going to read it back to front. The book's going to start out bad. I'm dyslexic. It'll get better. I have a book you guys need to read. I have a book you need to read. It's called How to Be an Heiress by Paris Sultan. That's the last book I read, and I've got to tell you,

I think that's where I draw the line. Look, I will also be honest, I've also read that book. That's the latest with our Hollywood correspondent Dean McCarthy. He's live out of Los Angeles and that's us.

We're done. We're back to our normal hours next week. We're going back to the afternoon. Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley are coming back to do their show next week. PJ is going to do

her last PJ and Friends show this afternoon and everybody enjoy your Matariki tomorrow. Have a well-deserved day off. Rest, relax. Enjoy the long weekend. Spend time with friends and family and thanks so much for
