ZNM Bree and Clint. Hello everybody and welcome to the Bree and Clint show. Can I just say, it's a privilege and an absolute pleasure to be here today with you Clint, with producer Ella and with everyone listening. And of course producer Claudia, but she's not here. It's not a privilege to be here with her, is it? I know, but I had to mention her because it sounded like I was ignoring her. She sent us a sickie request at 11.30 last night

on her way home from Coldplay. Oh, you leave her alone. No, we endorsed it yesterday on the podcast. We did, yeah. We said, use your sick days. We just didn't know that she was going to literally use them that night. We didn't know she was going to take us so literally.

I think it's good to know that she listens to us literally use them that night. We didn't know she was going to take us so literally. I think it's good to know that she listens to us. I wouldn't want to hang over Claudia here. Would you? She'd be cranky. Yeah, she'd be cranky. She'd be worse than me hung over, I reckon. Hung dog millionaire Claudia is not good. I'm bad, but she'd be like a cat.

Like a quiet. Who is the most useless hungover out of the team? I'm pretty bad. Yeah. Or Clint. Or you. Clint's just a whinger. Clint's a whinger.

He's the whingey hungover. Claudia's grumpy. But I have the ability to bounce back, which not everybody does. I think as of late, I haven't seen the bouncing back as much. Remember that day? Remember last time I had a couple of beers and I was back? Remember? The thing is, Brie sends it, comes home at 4am.

Clint just comes, oh yeah, big one. And then you actually left at 12. 12.30. 12.30, yeah. That's right, the last time you rolled in here and you were so hungover. And Ellie goes, what time did you get home? And she was expecting like a 4am and Clint's like, oh, 12 midnight?

Yeah, but I drink faster than Brie, so. Hey, fun show on the way. Let's get into it. Tradie versus lady. The tradies are catching up slightly, but the ladies could go up into triple figures today at 100. They're on 99. The tradies are on 93.

Also known as a Coke float. What's the best soft drink to have a spider or Coke float with? Have you seen the thing at the moment where it's from the bloody Mormon Wives show What's the best soft drink to have a spider or Coke float with? Have you seen the thing at the moment where it's from the bloody Mormon Wives show where they're doing a protein shake in Diet Coke? Weird. Yeah. Like a pre-made protein shake that you buy from the dairy in Diet Coke.

Lovely. Bree and Clint. I saw this video today Which made me sort of You know when you see something and you go, what? One of those videos that sort of Takes you out of your doom scroll And actually makes you realise what you're watching It was about someone who doesn't use something

That I thought everybody used And it has shades of Do you remember that conversation we had about those Friends of mine who don't have specific sides of the bed? Yeah, that's weird. Have you reported them to the police? Well, we keep a close eye on them anyway. Yeah, I'd be like not

inviting them to things. So him and his partner Jamie, if you're listening Yeah, we know who you are, Jamie. Whoever goes to bed first just picks a side. What is that? And that's the side of the bed that they sleep on.

What is that? They just crawl in. Yeah. Why are you friends with these people? That weirds me out so much. This is similar in that I can't imagine

living like this. Have a listen to this clip from a podcast that I saw on Instagram today. I don't have a calendar. What the f*** do you mean? Yeah, no, I don't. on Instagram today. I don't have a calendar. What the f*** do you mean? Yeah, no, I don't. What do you mean you don't have a calendar?

I don't have a calendar. On your phone? The app? The calendar app? Yeah, I don't put a single thing in there. Lucy, what do you mean? If I have something planned, a wedding? No, nothing.

I'm just going off remembering or like the vibe. That's not possible. Give me your phone. I hope yes. Sorry to God. She has nothing. She has the calendar's not possible. Give me your phone. I hope yes. Sorry to God. She has nothing. She has the calendar app because it's built into your phone. She had a look at it.

There was nothing in there. As someone with ADHD, this is my worst nightmare. Because if I don't have a calendar, guess what? I'm not going to a single thing. I'm not remembering one thing. Yes. Which I think nearly every person would be like that anyway. But I, to be honest though, like when I think back when I was in my 20s,

can't say I was ever running a calendar. In your 20s? Yeah. Oh, mate. Not my late 20s, but for a good portion of my 20s. And maybe it's just because I wasn't that busy. Maybe that's what it is. I got a text from a friend earlier today,

which I haven't had time to reply to. It's going to take a little bit of time to reply to this text. I've had to set myself a calendar reminder to text that person back. Otherwise, I won't text them. I will completely forget about it. There's no way I'll remember to text them. I have to set calendar reminders for later on today. back. Otherwise I won't text them. I will completely forget about it. There's no way I'll remember to text them. I have to send calendar reminders for later on today. Why don't you just text them

back? It would have taken you time to put the calendar invite in. I'm too busy. I'll text them when I've got free time later on. It must be a big text because that's different. It's a big text. What I like to call a real meaty DNM text.

That's a brain text. Yeah. It is one of those. So you have to sit down, clear your schedule for the afternoon. But I'm gutted because I've opened the text. Like, if I knew that's what the text was, I wouldn't have opened it. And then I would have had an unread text there that would remind me to do it. I just sometimes reply and say,

hey, this is going to take some time. I'll reply later. But I've seen it. I did. I'll reply later. But I've seen it. I did. But then set a calendar appointment. I did reply that. Yeah. And I said, by the way, I might forget.

So don't take that personally. Oh, my God. But if I do, it just means I'm not thinking of you. Yeah. So my sister is also called Lucy. And she has no calendar. And she, every weekend, accidentally books up like three things. And so she's not enjoying her events.

How stressful is her life? And goes to A to B to C. Oh, no. Because she can't. No. She's got no idea what's going on. Every time. No calendar.

Unless you have a photographic memory, how can you exist without a calendar? It's really bad. I don't understand. It's infuriating. Few people texting through saying they don't use a calendar. No. I want to talk to those people. No.

Pick up that phone and ring us now on 0800DIALZM. I want to know how you exist. Yeah. Because if there is a way, I don't love my calendar. I hate my calendar. If there is a way to exist without it, I would love to know. I live and die by the calendar. Absolutely right.

And I've also now, because I've been so busy recently and I'm just so forgetful, I put a little icon, even bigger calendar icon up in the left-hand corner. Oh, you've got a mini calendar on your home screen. It's like my little mini and then I've asked it

to show me today and then what's coming up to tomorrow. Oh, 100 dials at any moment. Text 9696. We want to talk to the people who don't use a calendar. They don't use a diary.

They don't use anything like that. How are you functioning? Bree and Clint. We just played a clip from somebody that I saw on a podcast today who doesn't have a calendar. They don't use a calendar. They're an adult woman with friends and responsibilities and a job, and they don't use a calendar, paper or digital.

It's just hurled by anxiety out of control hearing that. How? The clip went on a little bit longer. The same person has 84,000 unread emails. That's more than me. Maybe they don't. Maybe they're not thriving. They're just surviving. We don't actually know.

They probably forget things all the time but they just don't know. But they don't know. I did wonder that. Is it an ignorance is bliss situation? You've got all these people who are like, I can't believe Erin didn't show up again. She doesn't care. She doesn't know. Erin's got no idea. She forgot.

She's watching Emily in Paris for the fourth time and she's like, man, I've got so much free time. I'm living for this. We have been overwhelmed with stories of people who don't use their calendar. And Kate is one of them. Hi, Kate. G'day, Kate. Hey, guys. No calendar, Kate.

Nothing. No, no. I've never been able to, yeah, hack it, really. One second, Kate. How are you functioning as an adult in this world? And I need to know how old you are because I feel like that comes into it. Yes. Yeah, so I'm 21. Okay.

Just finished my degree but yeah, I've never Wait, so you managed to get through an entire university degree without a calendar? Yeah, yep. You didn't put your lectures in there? No, definitely probably at uni reliant on a few other people, but you just kind of... Right, okay. There's a support system around you. Oh, you're that person, Kate.

Okay, thank you, Kate. We appreciate it. Imagine Kate just texting all of her uni friends. Hey, guys, what have we got on today? What time's class this week? What's happening? I'm a mum of three and I've never used the calendar on my phone.

Lol, we don't even have a calendar at home. Lol, we don't use a shopping list either. Lol. That is like expert level.

I wonder if they ever miss things. How do you not have a shopping list? How do you know what all your friends' birthdays are? How do you know anything?

Oh, that's not the most important thing, is it? It's one of the things. Brad's here. Hi, Brad. Hi, Brad. Yeah, how's it going? Oh, that's not the most important thing, is it? It's one of the things. Brad's here. Hi, Brad. Hi, Brad. Yeah, how's it going? Brad, no calendar, mate.

Just like Bree asked, how old are you and what do you do for a job? I'm 36 and I run a few businesses. And you don't have a calendar, Brad? Nah. How are the businesses? Are you running the businesses successfully? Yeah, actually, don't do too bad. There's four businesses in total. Brad, Brad, Brad. Okay, so I'm a

prospective client of yours and I say I'd love to catch up with you. I'm in town two weeks from today. How about we meet up at 3.30 at a local cafe? How are you going to remember that? Usually I leave the comment can you... Really I'll just say, just give us a call the day beforehand and we'll make sure that we're both

on track. So same as Kate. Put it on to the other people to make sure. You make it other people's problem. Definitely. Definitely. You make it other people's problem. Definitely. I like it, Brad. Hey, he's a busy man. He runs four businesses. He's a busy businessman.

He doesn't have time to run a bloody calendar. No, that's the last thing on his priority list. Someone text through. They said, how? How are these people not running a calendar? I'm the complete opposite. I literally diary everything except pooing and breathing. Yes.

I'm pretty close to that. Pretty much everything has to be put down, eh? Someone else said, I don't have a calendar and I run a successful dog training business, 40 plus dogs a week. How? How on earth? How do you know?

Because these are probably, you know, you have to know the address of where you're going, like what time. I have a reminder in my calendar that comes up on my phone every morning at 8am that reminds me to take medication. Yeah. Otherwise, I will not remember. I will not remember.

I put, see, I'm different. I have to take medication every day and I put it in a place that's right in front of me at some point in the morning. So you're going to bump into it. Yeah. That's how I remember. Isabel's here. Hi, me at some point in the morning. So you're going to bump into it. Yeah. That's how I remember. Isabel's here.

Hi, Isabel. Hi, Isabel. Hello. Good afternoon. Good afternoon. How are you guys? We're stressed. Thank you, mate.

We are extremely stressed, Isabel. How are you surviving without a calendar? I have no idea, but I can do a work calendar awesome. Like three years into my work life career and I can nail that, go home, no, absolutely not. Okay, so your job has a calendar but your personal life does not. Yeah, I try to use one for my husband but he just

is ADHD and doesn't look at it. What are you talking about? That's not what us ADHD's do. No, of course not. And I've got photographic memory so things are just in and they're there. You've got photographic memory? Yeah, I can remember people's birthdays from primary school.

That's wild. And I'm 33. So there you go, that's how it works. You survive without a calendar because you have photographic memory, and your husband survives without a calendar because you have photographic memory. Exactly. Isabel, what is the most superfluous piece of information that has been left in your brain? Do you know what?

My teacher read this book when I was like maybe four months into media. And the point was to like remember information through the story. And she asked a question at the end. And she goes, okay, what was the dollar amount that he sold the apples for? I don't remember what the situation was, but it was three pounds and 53 pence. They were surprised that I remembered by the end of the story

and I still have that in my brain like 20, 20 years later. It's incredible, Isabel. It's incredible. Isabel, I'm going to give you a piece of information right now. My birthday is the 1st of February. Don't write it down. I'm the 1st of February.

I'm the 15th, so it's easy in there. I'd like a text from you to the ZM text machine on the 1st of February. Hi, it's Isabel. Absolutely. I remembered your birthday. Okay. We'll put it to the test. We'll put it to the test.

And Isabel, my bank account details are as follows if you want to transfer some money. Just to go out on one last text, someone said, I just heard Kate, she's my sister, her life is a shambles. Wait, which one was Kate? Kate was the university student who said... Oh, Kate, the 21-year-old. She's like, I'm fine.

I'm living my life. She's my sister. Her life is a shamble. That's hilarious. Shout out to Kate and her sister. That's so funny. We've got the latest next. Plus, where is the new most expensive place in New Zealand to rent?

We'll find that out next. It's ZM. Bree and Clint. There's a new most expensive place to rent in New Zealand officially, and it's not Auckland. Queenstown. It's always been Auckland. It's not Auckland, and it's not Queenstown.

The Mount. The new most expensive place to be a renter in New Zealand is the Mount. Yeah. Mount. Crushed it. Papamoa, that area, the Bay of Plenty, is now more expensive to rent than Auckland. That place has been booming for the last,

I mean, ever since COVID, I feel like a lot of people were like, let's move to Tauranga, let's move to the Mount, let's go to the beach. And all the poor people there who have to suffer these high rent prices, you know whose fault it is? Aucklanders who all moved to the Mount in Papamoa. They take it out with a median

weekly rent price of $680 a week, which just wins it, or loses it, whichever way you want to look at it, by $5. It's $5 more expensive to live there than Auckland. It's so expensive. And if you could tell me that for five extra dollars I could live at the beach, I would. If you're renting in Auckland. It's so expensive. And if you could tell me that for five extra dollars I could live at the beach,

I would. You know? If you're renting in Auckland and you're sitting in traffic, although they have pretty bad traffic down there as well. Well, they do now. It's getting worse and worse. It's full of Aucklanders as well.

Yeah. Rent is actually down in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch. It's gone down. Yeah, because they're all at the Mount. Because of... Not rocket science. Where do you reckon the Yeah, because they were all at the mound. Not rocket science.

Where do you reckon the cheapest, that's the most expensive, where do you reckon the cheapest place to rent is in New Zealand? Spoiler, I don't know. Oh, you don't know? I don't have the answer. Well, I mean, it's obviously, you know, the smaller country towns that would be cheaper.

Like, I don't know, Hokitika? Oh, yeah, okay. That would be, would it be cheap? I don't know. Maybe. I don't know, Hokitika? Oh, yeah, okay. That would be, would it be cheap? I don't know. Maybe. I don't know. Blenheim? No, not Blenheim. No, Blenheim's fancy.

Foxton? Oh, Foxton, yeah. It'll be like, it'll be like. Kaitaia? Do you reckon? I don't know. I genuinely don't know. Any place that's more rural is going to be cheaper.

It's just fact. Are you listening to this somewhere more rural? And how much do you pay for rent is what I'd like to know. Yeah, where are you? Yeah, yeah. Have you got like a three-bedroom house for like 200 bucks a week? Do you? And is it good?

That would be good. Or are you like, rent's cheap, but man, it sucks here. That's why a lot of people, when they have families, move to the country. Yeah, yeah, totally. It's cheaper. But you can afford it. Yeah. Anyway, sucks to live in the Mount, except for the fact that you live in the Mount.

How good? I mean, that is a plus of living in the Mount. It's a plus. If you're feeling bad, just go and climb the Mount, you know? Everyone else will be there, probably too many people. Get a selfie, yeah, yeah. You have to line up to climb the mountain. Pretty much.

Like, alright, take a number. Your time to climb is in half an hour. Bree and Clint from iHeartRadio. This is The Latest. Are you excited for the new Bridget Jones diary movie? I was, yeah. Bridget Jones number four?

I think it's number four. So there was Bridget Jones, Bridget Jones' number two, Bridget Jones' baby. This would be number four, yeah. This would be number four, yeah, yeah. The trailer for Bridget Jones Mad About the Boy is out, and this is not a spoiler because it's in the trailer, but it might come as a shock. They've killed Mr. Darcy.

Why? Why are they all doing that? Mark Darcy, played by Colin Firth, appears at the start of the trailer. So it's not like they've got bad blood.

He is in the movie for a short amount of time. And then they reveal that he's dead. They've killed him. That's exactly what, I mean, spoiler alert,

that's exactly what they did for the reboot of Sex and the City. Oh my God, you're right, they did too. Yeah. Yeah.

Exact same thing. Renee Zellweger's character in this movie, Bridget Jones, is dating a 29-year-old Leo Woodall, the guy from White Lotus and One Day. You know that guy? Yeah. The main guy from One Day?

Yeah, he's like the new it boy, isn't he? He's in all the new things. He's 29. Bridget in this film is 55. So 55 dating a 29-year-old. Yeah. Go, Bridget. Go, Bridget.

Which was the plot line to that last Anne Hathaway movie as well, where she was dating bloody Torley McHotguy. What's his name? Yeah, no, that's his official name, I think. Torley McHotguy. Torley McHotguy. Yeah. And then there's another movie that's his official name, I think. Torley McHotguy. Torley McHotguy. Yeah, and then there's another

movie that's come out recently where that, oh, the one with Nicole Kidman and Zac Efron. Yes, exactly right. Yeah, same, similar plotline. Cougar Season. Cougar Season is in full swing. Bridget Jones, Mad About The Boy, comes out in New Zealand, oh, not until February

13th, 2025. That's not that long. We're in November. Oh, Bridget will be like 70 by then. Leave her alone. Hey, I'm excited. At least it's going to be something completely different. Yeah, and Renee Zellweger is so great. Renee Zellweger is good in anything. Yeah,

absolutely. Yeah. G'day everybody. Bree and Clint. We have got an iPhone 16. We've got a bunch of JBLs and some GHDs up for grabs if you're willing to rate the ZM playlist. Yeah, that's right. If you text 9696, we'll send you back the link and you can be in to win all that amazing stuff.

By texting Brie has a nice set of chuzzies to 9696, you could win an iPhone 16, some brand new JBL products, or some new GHDs. That's some good prizes, eh? I mean. Well, they're good chuzzies, so. Yeah, I mean, you've got to have the good prizes for the good chuzzies. Next on the show, friend of ours, Brodie Kane.

She has been caught up in an auction mishap. Someone has paid a crazy, and I mean crazy, amount of money for her book. It's a good book. I wouldn't spend this amount of money on it, though. With all due respect. Fair, fair. We'll get Brodie Kane on to explain next. Brie and Clint.

Hell of a lot of text messages coming in about Brie's chuzzies. And a couple about Brie's churches. Oh, no. She doesn't have any of those. She's banned from there. And someone said Brie has a nice set of blarts. So I appreciate all those texts. Yeah, thank you.

I was just saying to Clint off air because obviously this text machine. We share it. We share it with everyone here at ZM. And I just picture Ross Boss going into the text machine and seeing hundreds and hundreds of texts about my choosies. Yeah. Just unexplained. Well, it's inappropriate for him to ask any questions.

Yeah. So I think you're safe. Yeah. I think you're safe. It's all good. I think we're fine. Yeah. Please welcome to the show, friend of the show, Brodie Kane.

Kia ora. Hi, Brodie. Kia ora, you beautiful legend. Another wahine that has a great set of choosies. So good to have you on the show. Oh, actually, I'm in the itty bitty titty committee. Doesn't mean they're not great choosies. That's exactly right, bro.

What do they say about good things in small packages? Oh, yeah. I'm in the small package club. What? Good things Hey Brodie did someone really pay two and a half thousand dollars for a copy of your book? Oh don't do this What is going on Brodie?

For charity I didn't realise you could charge that much for your book, that's a big price tag on your book Brodie You do I didn't realise you could charge that much for your book. That's a big price tag on your book, Brady. Yeah, Bree needs to put her price up. You do. And, well, actually, let this be a lesson to you, Bree, for when you get called to do some sort of charity auction-themed arrangement.

Because this happened last week, and I was emceeing a beautiful charity fundraiser, the charity is True Colours, down in Waikato, supports families of sick children in the Waikato region. Amazing. I go down there and I emcee, right? And there's a couple of auctions and they're all very exciting. You know when you go to those kind of things and everyone's bidding and it's like, yay, this is for a great cause and everyone's having a great time.

So I took my book down. They're all a bit lick it up. They always spend a little bit more than they would usually, but it's all for a good cause, so you still walk away feeling good. Absolutely. Yeah. So I took my book down. I was like, hey, guys, look, we'll auction off the book just as a bit of fun.

Yeah, chuck it on the pile. Why not? I said, look, you know, even if it gets $100, that's $100 for the charity. And so we do it in the last part of the auction. So we're about 4.30, 4 o'clock in the afternoon. So yeah, a few people have had to cancel. So the auctioneer puts it between

two, you know, between an auction item. He says, look guys, we're going to do a very, very special auction right now. Brodie Kane's book, da da da da da. I'm up on the stage as you can imagine, parading around with the book like a ring girl. Yeah, like that.

Weren't you scared that no one was going to bid? I'd be terrified at that. Yes, I was terrified at that, but I was like, no, no. Be brave. These are good people. They won't leave me hanging. You know, you're always safe down in the region. And then so I'm walking around and walking around and then away we go.

100, 200, 300, 400. There's a guy on the phone bidding. It was like, it was wild. And then I was like, holy shit, this is amazing. 1,000, 1,100, 1,200.

And there's this all-out bidding war going. Bidding war, yeah. Now, as you can imagine, I'm completely overwhelmed. In fact, I've got a couple of tears because I'm like, this is so cool. Yeah. How special. Anyway, bang, sold, $2,400. The crowd erupts.

Yeah. It's just an incredible feeling. Everyone's over the moon. I then go with the lady who goes and gets their details and, you know, takes their payment details. We go down to the man at his table, and we're like, congratulations, that was amazing. And I go to hand him the book.

He goes, what's this? I said, this is your book. You won this book. I'll sign it. What's your name? He says, I didn't. No, that's not mine. I was like, no, it is.

He's like, no, I've won Queenstown. I've just won Queenstown. He was bidding on the Queenstown trip. He was bidding on the Queenstown. He thought he was. Oh, no. He thought he was bidding on the Queenstown trip, which was five for two and some accommodation and thought he was. Oh, no. He thought he was bidding on the Queenstown trip, which was quite the two and some accommodation

and like something else. Oh, no. Oh, no. Like I said to Bree before, it's a fantastic book. It's a fantastic book. It's not a trip to Queenstown. To sell that book instead of a trip to Queenstown is a hard sell, though.

Does that man know that he can get that book on Mighty 8 for $23 at the moment? But also, I was like, I'm going to have to go down there with him and read him a couple of nighttime stories, you know? Like, this is going to have to be a couple of times. For two and a half grand, I want Brodie Kane to read me the book page for page. You're right.

Exactly. Audiobooks out, by the way, tomorrow, guys. Great timing. Yeah, and so I was like, look, mate, okay, do not panic. Because he was. I was like, no, no, no, don't panic, don't panic, don't panic. But I was like, but also, listen to what you're bidding on, mate. Like, listen.

Yeah, what's going on? It's like the time Joey from Friends bid on the boat at the charity auction, and he thought that it was, you had to have a guess, and he didn't realise he was bidding, and he bought the boat for 20 grand, Mr Beaumont? You've got to be careful. Anyway, you know me, I like a bit of self-deprecation. I get back up on stage and really lean into this

that this has happened. The funny thing is half the room thought it was the book. So there was this real envy because everyone thought that that was. The other half were bidding, in fact, for Queenstown. Anyway, the auctioneer comes back up. And do you know what? We still sold it for $450.

Hell, yeah. How good is that? That's an excellent result, you know, all in all. That's the total amount of money people have spent on my book in total. I don't believe that's what she's agreeing. I do not believe that. Oh, good on you, Brodie. Good on you, Bro total. I don't believe that's what she's agreeing. I do not believe that. Oh, good on you, Brodie. Well done.

It all worked out in the end, didn't it? It did. And you know me, I love a little embarrassing story. And the great thing is that'll be chapter one for the next one. I was going to say, it's a great story for the next book. There you go. It's a self-fulfilling prophecy. We do want to ask people this afternoon if you've accidentally bought something.

Like this man who accidentally nearly paid $2,400 for Brodie's book. Have you accidentally bought something at an auction, on Trade Me when you've had a few too many drinks, at a Harcourt auctioneer room? Did you buy a house in Whangamata by accident? I bought that $350 Nike jacket that time because I thought it was on sale and they were like, nah. Oh, you were too embarrassed to put it back.

And then I was too embarrassed to put it back. You know, to this day, I still wear that bloody thing. You need to get your wear out of it. Yeah. For your most expensive bloody exercise jacket ever. Oh, $800 at M where you can text your story to 9696. Hey, thanks, Brodie Kane. We appreciate it. Thanks, Brodie. Oh, see you guys. Always fun can text your story to 9696. Hey, thanks Brodie Kane. We appreciate it.

Thanks Brodie. Oh, see you guys. Always fun. Love you mate. Bye. Woman Uninterrupted is the book. It's out on audiobook tomorrow. Share your stories with us about your accidental purchases.

It's Bree and Clint on ZF. Bree and Clint. We just had our friend Brodie Kane on the show. She was hosting a charity auction. She put a copy of her new book, signed up for auction, and it went for $2,400. Problem was the guy who bought it thought he was bidding on a trip to Queenstown. Yeah.

Anyway, it all worked out in the end. It all worked out in the end. It's all good. It all came out in the wash. So we want to know, what did you buy by accident? I love this text. It says, my stupid fiance got drunk and put an auto bid on a

Ford Falcon and Invercargill and then forgot about it. He won it. So off we went and my car ended up blowing up just after Timaru. Oh no. So we're in Christchurch, made it to Dunedin. He bought another Falcon to tow the trailer

to get the one with no Red Joe and no WAF Falcon he bought on Trade Me. Ended up leaving my car in Dunedin. Finally got to Invercargill at 3 a.m. Set back to Dunedin to put my car on the trailer and I ended up driving one of the Falcons home. He's been banned from Trade Me and Marketplace ever since. He accidentally bought a Ford Falcon and ended up with two Ford Falcons.

Yeah. That's incredible. Isn't that crazy? One of my friend's dads accidentally bought an old school blue Porsche. Oh, yeah. On Trade Me once. Accidentally, was it? Yeah.

Yeah. Well, I think he'd had a few beers. Yeah. Yeah. And he didn't think he was. But you always tell your wife it was an accident. I was there when him and his wife were having a fight because we were in my friend's room

and you could hear them having a fight where he was like, well, I didn't think I would win, Julie, did I? Like that's the get out of jail card. Amelia is here. Hi. Hi, Amelia. Hi. What did you accidentally buy Amelia?

It wasn't me that accidentally bought it But I woke up one day and checked my email I had all of these Trade Me emails that I had like Won all of the stuff Turns out my ex had logged into my Trade Me account And had bought like several like 18 wheeler trucks A whole bunch of Audis, an industrial-sized bottle of lube.

I had to email back all of these car dealerships and say, I'm so sorry, my ex did this, it wasn't me, and they were not very happy with me. No, I bet. They didn't see the funny side. They wanted to trade me support and started up sorting it out for me. If you'd told them that it was your ex and you'd told them about the industrial-sized bottle of lube, I reckon they would have seen the funny side of it.

I reckon I should have kept the lube, actually. I was going to say, your ex really screwed you on that one, but at least he was kind enough to get the lube for you. Absolutely. Yeah. Absolutely. Absolutely. Absolutely. Absolutely. Absolutely.

That was good from you, Amelia. Oh, I liked it. Someone texted in and said, online grocery shopping during the lockdowns. I ended up with 10 kgs of tomatoes instead of the 10 tomatoes that I wanted. Oh, no. What do you make with 10 kgs of tomato? Like fresh ones? Yeah.

Tomato soup? Tomato sauce? Bolognese? You know that tomato fight they do? The cold tomato... Gazpacho? Gazpacho? Oh, Bloody Marys.

Oh, Bloody Marys. That was like the time, same thing, but they ordered like, wasn't it like 60 kilos of chicken breast? That's right. Instead of 600 grams? Instead of 600 grams. What idiot is packing 60 kgs? They're like, this must be it.

This must be what they wanted. Oh, so they want a bottle of milk, a block of cheese, butter, and 60 kilos of chicken breast. That makes sense. This person wants to be anonymous. Oh, so they want a bottle of milk, a block of cheese, butter, and 60 kilos of chicken breast. That makes sense. This person wants to be anonymous. Hi, Anonymous. There you go. Good, thank you.

Tell us, did you buy something by accident? Not me. It's my old man. So he's an islander, so he doesn't really believe in the whole technology thing. Okay. It's not an islander thing, is it? You guys don't believe in technology?

Well, the older generation just don't know how to use it. Right. Okay. Yeah, gotcha. And my sister's recently just taught him how to use a smartphone. Oh, no. What has he done? Well, he saw an ad.

Do you know those punching dummies for like boxes and stuff like that? Yeah, the ones that look like a real hot guy. Yeah. Yeah. Whatever floats your boat. I thought it looked like a rubber man, but whatever you're into. Yeah, I was thinking that too. Is that just me, the guy with the chiseled jaw and hot shoulders and traps?

Okay, just me then. And no arms or legs? Yeah, that one. Yeah, really attractive. Yeah. So he wanted to order that. Look, I don't know how and what happened, but he ordered a sex, oh, sorry, an adult toy.

My favourite, Notting Hill. Pretty Woman. Oh, another ripper. So good. Bring back the rom-com. Bring them back. I agree. Bree and Clint.

Armie Hammer. When was the last time we spoke about Armie Hammer? About three months ago, because he was trying to sell his car on Instagram, remember? Yeah, he's a strange kettle of fish, isn't he? He's one of the great Hollywood tragedies, really. He's an interesting cactus, that's for sure. He would have been the next Brad Pitt.

Well, that's what they say. But then he kind of went off the rails a little bit, got accused of cannibalism. You remember that story. They say all publicity is good publicity. Not that publicity. Not that publicity. That was very bad. Yeah.

Very bad publicity. Anyway, he's... He was, by the way, he was the Winklevoss brothers in The Social Network, wasn't he? Yeah, and he was in that other show, Call Me By Your Name. Was he in that? I feel like, yeah. Yeah, he was in that show.

Okay. Anyway. The movie. Yeah. Was he? He was in a few things. Okay, yeah, yeah. Yeah, he did quite a bit of stuff and then it all kind of went south. Anyway, he's appeared on a podcast with his mother.

Oh, it's his podcast, the Army Hammer Time podcast it's called. Anyway, his mum was on the podcast and she has asked him and they've started talking about a gift that she wanted to buy him one time for his 38th birthday. Take a listen. So, Armie, what would you like for your birthday this year? And he goes, oh, I don't know, maybe money, whatever. And I was like, I believe I'm going to give you a vasectomy.

It's a miracle we don't have a bunch of little hammers running around. Not that she knows of. I ate them. Oh, that's right. What? What? Mum wanted to what? Question one.

Question one before we get into a mother purchasing a vasectomy for her son. Vasectomy or vasectomy? Vasectomy. A vasectomy. Vasectomy, yeah. Why did she say vasectomy? I think some Americans say vasectomy. Oh.

I don't know. I don't know. Anyway, that's not the real talking point here, is it? No, it's really not. Most mothers want grandchildren. Armie Hammer's mother is like, I don't want you to breed. I'm going to get you a vasectomy. Well, he's already got kids is what she's saying.

He's got two kids, I believe, a daughter and a son, I think, that he shares with his ex-wife. Oh, okay. So he's got kids, but interesting that his mother... A vasectomy is not a gift. It's a gift for your partner if you get one, but it's not something you give somebody as a gift. It's a very bizarre gift to get from your mum.

Yeah. Super weird. Have you ever's a very bizarre gift to get from your mum. Yeah. Super weird. Have you ever gotten a really weird gift from someone? Yeah, I got a... Where you open it and you're kind of like, thanks. Yeah, I got a toothbrush and toothpaste from my uncle for Christmas once. Me and both of my brothers, all three of us. I mean, could be worse.

It was $2 shop toothpaste and toothbrush. Oh, okay. It was non-brand toothpaste. Yeah. Just get nothing. Mum was $2 shop toothpaste and toothbrush. It was non-brand toothpaste. Yeah. Just get nothing. Mum was like, don't use that. Keep that away from your mouth. Have you got a bad gift?

None that I can recall off the top of my head, but it was so funny. Someone messaged me yesterday, someone who listens to our show, and she was saying to me that one time she received a gift from her grandmother that came in the post. And as soon as she picked up the box and as soon as she opened it, it just reeked, like just stunk. And she's opened this box and she has no idea why to this day, but there was a bunch of starfish in there.

And she reckons that the starfish were alive when her grandma sent them. And then when they got to her, they had unfortunately passed away. Oh, grandma needs to go into her home. And then she said, grandma also one time. Grandma sent you live starfish. And then she said. Where also one time. Grandma sent you live starfish. And then she said. Where did she get them? Also, Grandma one time sent me 600

pencils. Yeah, nah. With a note saying, you need to do more writing. Nah, Grandma. Bless. A box of live, well dead starfish. What would you rather? The live slash dead starfish? 600 pencils. Yeah, you could use them.

Every day of the week. Pencil's not a bad gift. Oh, $800 at M. Or you can text to 9696. We want to know the weirdest gift you ever received. Not necessarily the worst. Worst, but just strange. Strange. Why would you buy me this?

Oh, $800 at M. Or yeah, text it in to 9696. Just imagine all the gifts from uncles and aunties that are going to come through. Armie Hammer was in The Man from Uncle. There you go. Armie Hammer was in Cars. Who was he?

He would have been, he wasn't made up. Oh, sorry, He was in Cars 3 Oh Hey still good? Still good Still good Were you in Cars 3? Still more Cars than I was in

I wasn't He was Jackson Storm Send him Bree and Clint Bree and Clint Send him Bree and Clint That's L-A-B And in the air It was so good

Armie Hammer The actor Formerly known as the cannibal, has released a podcast apparently and he had his mum on because no one else wanted to come on. And his mum has said on the podcast that she wanted to get him a vasectomy for his birthday. Weird gift from anybody, let alone your mum.

Strange gift. So we're asking you this afternoon, what was the weird or strange gift that you received? Someone texted her and said a first aid kit. For a gift? A gift. A gift? First aid kit.

Someone else said, Auntie Phyllis was notorious for gifting the most rusted old can of anything from her cupboard. We carried on the tradition of gifting crappy tins of unwanted food every Christmas, even after she had died. That's pretty cute. That's pretty cute. I like it. I like that it's now been turned into a tradition.

Julia's here. Hi, Julia. Hi, Julia. Hi, how's it going? Good, thanks. Tell us, what's the weirdest gift you've ever received? It was my request, but I got 10 packs of 10 packs of toilet paper for my birthday.

You had 100 rolls of toilet paper? At your own request? Yeah, so my brother didn't know what to get me and we'd just moved house and I thought, oh, I don't like paying for toilet paper and I don't like, it's annoying when you forget it. Wait, you were an adult when you asked for this? Yeah, it was last year. I don't mind that gift idea. It's something you won't have to buy for a long time now. Well, yeah, I just didn't want to pay for it ever again, so I thought I'll just ask for enough.

That's not the idea of a gift. That's not what gifts are. No, I like it. I like it. It's practical, Julia. It's a good gift. I like it. It's a good gift.

I rate it. You got the fancy toilet paper too. Well, I bloody hope so. If it's for Christmas, I bloody hope you got you the good one. Your bumhole's going to be living the dream for the next three years. Weirdest gifts. My grandmother, white skin, gave my daughter, gave her daughter, my mum, dark skin, whitening cream for Christmas. Well, that sucks.

That's a horrible gift from mum. Nice one, mum. No, from Nan. Yeah, but no, but it was her mum. Someone's mum. Someone said, for my 30th, my parents bought me an epilator. That's so weird. That is so weird.

And because it was your 30th, it makes it even weirder. Yeah. They're like, hey, you're 30 now, sort it out. Here's, instead of getting you like a nice piece of jewellery, here's an epilator. You hairy beast. Aaron's here. G'day, Aaron. Hi, jewellery, here's an epilator. You hairy beast. Aaron's here. G'day, Aaron.

Hi, Aaron. Hey, what's up, guys? We're good. What's the weirdest gift you ever got, Aaron? So my 21st birthday, I got a cooking pot, a 10-litre cooking pot. 10 litres? That's a big pot.

Do you cook? Is that one of your passions? Yeah, well, don't trust a skinny chef, and I'm not skinny, so I love cooking. So you're a big boy, and someone got you a 10-litre cooking pot for your birthday. My mother. How many times have you used that pot, Connor? I've used that pot quite a few times, and annoyingly, yes, I have made a lot of very good dishes in that pot. Yeah, see, maybe it was a good gift.

Hey, not a bad gift then. Maybe it was a good gift after all. My brother got a whole lot of alcohol and a 21st key. Oh, okay. Well, that's, yeah. Your gift seems a bit stink buzz then. Aaron was like, I want pot for my 21st. And his parents were like, can do.

We got you a huge one. We got you a huge one. A massive 10-litre one. No, pot. I wanted wet. Never mind. Connor's here. Hi, Connor.

Hi, Connor. Afternoon, guys. Afternoon. Tell us, Connor. What's the weirdest gift you ever got, Connor? So it was about three Christmases in a row. My pa was a bit of a prankster. So for Christmas, he got, the first year,

he got me and my cousin a box of beer each, and they were all empty. Oh. Then the next year, he got us a bikini. He gave my cousin the top half and me the bottom half. Okay. Random. Then the quicker one was he gave us each the top and bottom drawer of my nana's false teeth.

Oh, yuck. What is his deal? Have you started giving weird stuff back to him? You should. Oh, well, we did one year. We gave him some toilet paper, but he was actually quite happy. Yeah, jokes on you. He's like, I love toilet paper.

I'll bet. It's a great gift. Thanks, Connor. Someone said, for my 40th, mum got me Weight Watchers meals. What an a-hole. What an absolute bish. I got a book of pack and save ads. I used to really like Stickman, but now I realise it's kind of a strange gift.

It is a bit of a weird gift. Yeah well Christmas is on the way everybody. Someone said one time someone gave me a pair of yellow wool long johns. I got a toilet brush from my at the time boyfriend for my 21st birthday. At the time

boyfriend. I think that says it all. Bree and Clint. Coldplay in the country. Two more shows to come. Another 100,000 people will go and see that show. Yes, that's every teardrop is a waterfall. The dating app Bumble have come out with

some new stats around dating and what they're calling a new dating phenomenon they've called future-proofing. Future-proofing? Yeah, which they believe is all connected with the current financial crisis that we've all been living in.

They're saying that because of the current financial climate, people are now asking questions on first date, second date, third dates, like early dates that normally would have been taboo in the past. Right. So, for example, topics such as job security, budgeting and housing have been identified as top dating considerations with one in three people going on first dates. Like what? Like, do you own a house? Yeah.

What's your weekly budget? Yeah. Or job security, like how long have you been at your job? How long is your contract? Yeah, those type of questions. And they're calling it future proofing. It's not very romantic, is it? No, it's not.

But it just shows. It's pragmatic, but that's not what love is. I guess it just shows the current climate of, you know, how people are feeling. No, it doesn't. It just shows that people feel like they can ask these questions now. They're just like, you know. Yeah.

And you and I have talked about this. I think you have to be not financially aligned with how much money you have, but you have to kind of have the same kind of attitude towards money for a relationship to be successful, don't you? I feel like it definitely causes way less fights if your money views and ideas are aligned. Yeah, yeah. It doesn't mean, yeah, like you said.

Someone who spends on their credit card and never pays it off is not going to get on well with someone who budgets, scrimps and saves. No. Like, I'm a good saver. I wouldn't say, like, I'm a big spender and go and buy lavish things, you know. And if I dated someone that had a heap of credit card debt and they just went out and bought whatever, I couldn't deal with it. But you're not tight as well.

You're not that. No. You're what I would call fiscally responsible. I'll take it. Thank you. So you want to find someone in the middle there too. Yeah, someone who is. A big spender would stress you out as much as a big Scrooge would stress you out.

A hundred percent. Like I need someone like me and my partner, I feel like we're definitely very aligned. Like we want to spend money on the same things. Coldplay, for example, going to a concert or an experience or things like that and then saving in other places. I went on a date with a girl in my 20s who I quite liked, this girl. What was wrong with her?

Nothing was wrong with her. According to you. Nothing was wrong with her, but she you. Nothing was wrong with her, but she did ask me on the very first date how much money I earned. See, that's... And I wasn't prepared for it. Like, I wasn't prepared for the question. Was it not very much?

It wasn't very much. Oh, see, that's awkward. And I inflated it. Oh, dear. Why'd you answer it? Did you answer it? Well, I was nervous. Oh, my God.

And then I was like, well... I would have said, that's not appropriate to ask on a answer it? Well, I was nervous. Oh, my God. And then I was like, well. I would have said, that's not appropriate to ask on a first date. No, I was intimidated. And then. Did you ask her? Yeah, she's a bit older than me. And so I felt a bit intimidated. How much older?

Only like four years older. Oh, that's still a little bit in your early 20s. But when you're in your early 20s. It's a big difference, yeah. I was like, whoa, cougar. And. Anyway, so I asked her and I'd inflated my number a little bit and the number that she came back with was double my number.

Oh, that sucks. Which as a feminist, I was obviously fine with. Nah, I made you uncomfortable. No, I was fine with it. Yeah, I believe. I was fine with it. I was fine with it. I was totally fine with it.

We went on at least three more dates. And who broke it off? We just kind of stopped. I just kind of stopped replying. I like how it was we just kind of, I just stopped replying. Things have a natural energy rhythm, don't they? These things. Was that the nail in the coffin for you?

Yeah, that was my last text. Anyway, we want to know, what do you want to know? The outrageous thing that you were asked on a date early in the piece? Yeah, early in the piece on a date, did someone ask you something just wild? Like just not appropriate, weird, unusual. It might not even be like a financial question. No, it could be anything. It might have been like a real strange proposition,

like a proposal on the first or second day. Yeah, that's weird. Yeah. Very unusual and strange. Or like, would you help me bury a body? You know? Run. The sort of thing you usually wait till date five or six for.

Someone text through and they said, all those questions you were talking about before, which was like job security, housing, they said all those questions are valid. Love can't pay bills with the economy now. I can't be paying for two people. You date for partnership, not for your romance. Not just for romance.

Not just for romance. Again, it's very pragmatic. It's not romantic though. I stand by what very pragmatic. It's not romantic, though. I stand by what I said. It is not romantic. I want to know if that person's in a relationship. Yeah. Yeah, if you're still listening, are you in a relationship

and has it worked out, like with that viewpoint? 0800 dial ZM or text 9696 with the outrageous thing somebody asked you on an early date. Free and Clint. God, strap in for these. We've asked you, what is the most outrageous, unusual, strange thing that someone has asked you on an early date? These are so out the gate as well.

Let's kick it off with this one, unless they're on the phone, because this is just wild. Someone said, I was asked how many men I'd slept with. He didn't ask how many women, though. Winky face. You do the math. Got him. Someone told me that they'd told their mum all about me, and she was dying, so wanted to take me to meet her that day

as his girlfriend. No, thank you. No, thank you. No, thanks. And never talk to me again. Sorry about your mum, but that is freaking weird, bro. That's so strange. That is emotional blackmail.

Not good. Not good. Someone else said I dated a guy for a week and he asked me to marry him. So... Too much. That's way too much. Anonymous is here. Hi Anonymous. Hi Anonymous is here. Hi, Anonymous. Hi, Anonymous. Hello.

What was the weird early date question? It wasn't me. It was my sister. Yeah. What did your sister get asked? She got set up on a blind date by a workmate. Okay. And she went to the movies with this guy.

Yeah. And he started up a conversation about feet. Oh, no. Feet? About feet. Feet, yeah. This is a first date, Anonymous. On a blind date. He's never even met the guy before.

Oh, okay. And then he asked her if he could smell her toes. Oh, yuck. What, in the cinema? Yeah. And so she promptly said to him, I'm just going to go to the toilet Yeah

I'll be back And she went to the toilet Rang me and my partner We came and picked her up And she went back into the toilet Booked it out of there Good on you Look we don't want to yuck anybody's yum

But that's not the time Not the place I want to yuck that guy's yum There's worse things Than wanting to smell someone's foot I want to yuck the guy Not that I someone's foot. I want to yuck the guy Not that I want to do it. I want to yuck the guy

who wants to sniff a first date's toes in a movie theater. I want to yuck that. Yeah. Are you telling me I'm not allowed to yuck that in 2024?

You can yuck whatever you want. Anonymous, that's yuck, eh? I'm yucking it. Yeah, yuck that guy. Yuck him. Sounds quite nice to me, actually.

Hey, Anonymous, do you still have that guy's number? Yeah. It was a couple of years ago, but I'm pretty sure I can find it. Okay, good. Yeah, rustle it up. Bree's got some sweaty Italian piggies she'd like snuffed. I cannot think of anything worse than letting someone smell my feet or going anywhere near my feet.

Suck a toe. Yuck. Carly's here. Hi, Carly. Hi, Carly. Hi, Carly. Hi. Tell us, was it you that had something outrageous said to you on a first date? It wasn't quite the first date.

It was actually the first message I got from my partner. We matched on Tinder in Canada where I lived and grew up. And the first thing he asked me was if I would move to New Zealand with him. Like right off the bat. The first message? Yeah. The first thing this guy ever said to you? Yeah.

What'd you say? Yeah. I brushed him off a little bit. I said, well, why don't we go and get drinks first? And what is it, six and a bit years later, I'm living in New Zealand now. It worked. It worked. What the hell, Carly? Carly, can I ask? I'm living in New Zealand now. It worked. It worked. What the hell, Carly?

You're brave. Can I ask, you've got a New Zealand accent. So were you a Kiwi living in Canada and was that in your profile? No, I'm Canadian. I don't know how the accent really happened. It just, it took six years and I just sound like you guys now. You really do. Yeah, you've picked it up quite a lot, Carly.

You're a chameleon. Yeah, you'd never know. Yeah. Oh, there's up quite a lot, Carly. You're a chameleon. Yeah, you'd never know. Oh, there's a few words in there. Hey. Well, true, bro. Later. Thank you. See you. See you, guys. See you, Cousy. She's good. She's really good.

These are strange things that you were asked early, too early in the date. I once dated a guy who suggested on the third date that we get a joint bank account. I thought he was mad. We've been married now for 10 years and I once dated a guy who suggested on the third date, oh, it's the same message twice in a row.

I think that's the problem with the text machine. These text messages really skew the data though. Like that one, the guy who was like, move halfway across the world with me. And then it worked out. And then it worked out. And then it worked out. That's giving rise to the toe sniffers. They're like, maybe I should be outrageous.

Let us just say, look, we're not dating experts, but if you're asking to sniff someone's toes or get married on a first date or take them to see your dying mother, that's a no-go. That's a no-go for a first date, all right? Someone said, first date, I was asked if I wanted, if I would sign a prenuptial agreement.

I said, yeah. And they said, well, obviously, you don't love me then. First and last. Psycho. That was entrapment. Yeah. That was entrapment. Someone else said, I would totally pretend to be a girlfriend for a dying mum,

but I am weird. So that checks out. Oh, you should have been the person that went on that date. It would have all worked out. What if mum doesn't die? That's the real risk, that mum doesn't die and then you have to be this guy's girlfriend. Yeah, like how long? Yeah. How long do you give it?

I don't know. Just don't get yourself in this situation. If mum lives for much longer, then you're going to have to go to the funeral. Remember there was that story one time where someone said on a first date they took them, he took them to his mum's grave? Oh yeah, nah, yeah

I tried to forget that one. For the first date? Someone else said, Clint, I would much rather date a toe sniffer than an ocean poer. So yeah, that's fair enough too. No comment. That person always texts through about the one time, it was one time

and it was an accident. It was an emergency ocean poo. Bree and Clint. Bree and Clint. All I want for my birthday is a birthday banger. Get you home or to work with the Birthday Banger. Number one songs, we figure it out here

and then tell you and play our favourite one out of three. Emily is going first. Kia ora, Emily. Hi, Emily. Kia ora. How's your day been, Em? Not bad, because I am headed into a long weekend. Oh, how good.

We're very jealous. I know. Christ, you're just so, like, we've got our anniversary falls in a really nice spot. Yes. In a long stint that others don't. Yeah. Way to rub it in. Yeah.

I'm just kidding. And we just had a cup down and everything. It's so nice. Are you going to go to Rickett in this weekend? No, I've got, I have a small business, so I am at a market on Sunday. Oh, delightful. Good on you. Okay. Well, very jealous.

What's your date of birth? The 22nd of the 12th, 1998. Right, that means you were 16 in 2014. And on that day, this was at the top. Rick it in. That's where the freaks are. They're all there. This weekend, yeah.

With their shoes off. What do you reckon, Em, do you like it? I have like vivid memories of this song too. Yeah. It's one you're trying, doesn't it, Emily? Very vivid memories working at McDonald's, having this playing at the end of the shift while we're cleaning. Yeah, how good.

Okay, that's a classic wait there. We're going to do Zoe's birthday banger. Hi, Zoe. Hi, Zoe. Hi, guys. What have you got planned for your weekend? Also a long weekend for me. Are you in Christchurch as well? Yes. Oh, lovely. Okay,

you going to Rickerton? No, going to Coldplay. Oh, are you coming up here? Yeah. Zoe, you're going to love this show. It's such a great show. So amazing. You're going to Rickerton? No, going to Coldplay. Oh, you're coming up here? Yeah. Zoe, you're going to love this show. It's such a great show. So amazing. You're going to love it.

Hey, what's your date of birth? 4th of April, 1998. All right, that means you were 16 also in 2014. But on your 16th birthday, this was number one. It's huge. Around the world for five sauce. What do you reckon, Zoe? Great song. Such a banger.

Takes me back. Banger from the boys. Okay, wait there. One more birthday banger for Riley, who's going to do their mum Emma's birthday banger. Hi, Riley. Hi, Riley. Hi.

How old are you, Riley? 10, turning 11 tomorrow. Wow. Wait, it's your birthday tomorrow. Yep. Oh, well, happy birthday for tomorrow from all of us. Okay, Riley. But while you're here, we'll do your mum's birthday.

When's your mum's birthday? When is your mum's birthday? Mum, when's your birthday? 20th of the 11th, 1984. Oh, you guys have very close birthdays. There you go. Your mum was 16 in the year 2000. And tell mum that this is her birthday banger. Oh, yeah.

Bit of groove, Jet. Yeah. She likes it. In my opinion, the Sophie Ellis Becks is a song that should have gone back to number one. Banger. Okay, wait there, Riley. We've got to make a decision between Savage, Five Sauce and Spiller, Groove Jet. Going with Riley and her mum, Groove Jet. Riley, you've won birthday banger for your mum.

Nice work. Woohoo. Woohoo. Woohoo. And happy birthday for tomorrow. Banger. Banger. Yeah, Riley.

Banger. Let's go, Riley. Brian Clint, here's a birthday banger from Yeah, Riley. Let's go, Riley. Bree and Clint. Here's a birthday banger from the year 2001. 2000. 2000. Yeah. You're on ZF.

Bree and Clint. Please welcome to the show our very good friend, Kaylee Bell. Bree and Clint. This is the OG version, right? Yeah. The original. The after hours. The artist who created us. It's been six crazy years.

It got a Mamadaya seal of approval, didn't it? Yeah, it sure did. She was loving it. We need to get her to a show. She would be a brilliant opener, wouldn't she? She'd be line dancing. Could you imagine? She'd be doing the grapevine in the crowd

and people would be making a circle around her. People would leave after she's performed. They wouldn't care about her. Or you can let her on stage. Exhausted. That's risky. That's risky. So you're opening

for Kane Brown tonight. We are. This is pretty cool. This is our first like actual proper big kid arena tour. Like we've done arena shows

but to actually get to like continue on more than once with an artist and we head over to Australia straight after and get to basically go all around Australia.

Is this his first time in New Zealand and are you his official tour guide? And if so, where are you taking him? God, I'm not. And I know that his band is already at Hobbiton. So I feel like I'm let off the hook. So not country. I know. You should let them know that there's a Lord of the Rings musical happening in Auckland

at the moment. Yeah, there is. Is there actually? They'd love it. Oh God. How does that come about? Like, because this isn't your first time, you know, opening for a big artist.

Yeah, well, we actually, I think this, we got seen playing over at CMA Fest, which is like kind of the pinnacle of country music festivals in America and basically kind of headhunted there and they put us on the tour. I mean, my band's been with me for about seven or eight years now, so cool for them as well. Yeah, that's awesome.

So someone saw you and was like, wow, this girl right here. Wow. Didn't understand a word she said. Wow. Wherever that girl's from. Doesn't speak English. She speaks Kiwi. But she can sing all right.

Man stuff is popping off in the country gossip scene at the moment. So much. Zach Bryan at the moment. I'm just like, I'm down that whole moment. So are we. I'm on the TikTok, the Zach Bryan TikTok. If you're not across it, the headlines are basically that Zach Bryan might not be that much of a nice guy, treated his girlfriend, Brianna Chicken Fry, like crap, and then offered

her $12 million not to share her story. She said no, right? And she said no. So my question for you is, when does your scandal come out? Yeah, it's coming. What is it going to be? Sex scandal? Well, I'm from Waimari,

so there's going to be some dirt on me. I'm just waiting. If you want to see Kaylee Bell, is this Kane Brown show sold out? There's still tickets available and it's going to be an awesome show. For me, he's like the country artist that can do everything.

He can do the most country of country songs. And then he can, you know, put out a song like he's got out with Marshmello at the moment. And he just kind of, he's just so incredibly versatile. And just, yeah, I've seen the live show and it's pretty amazing. I'm just going to be a fangirl too. Totally. It's going to be such a good show. Are you going to play your new song Cowboy Up?

I am. Are we going to see that at the show? Do you know, I've been teasing that song for eight months. Eight months? I just looked at it and I was like, that's actually quite mean, isn't, I've been teasing that song for eight months. Eight months? I just worked it in and I was like, that's actually quite mean, isn't it?

Yeah. That's such a long time. But the cool thing about that song is... It's what they call in Waimete, build-ups. Yeah,

we work a little slower down there. Bro, build-ups. Build-ups. The journey of that song, I actually wrote it in New Zealand, put it kind of online, didn't really think anything of it.

For whatever reason, that song clicked and I was like, oh God, now I've got to do something with this song. Well, it's out today. Should we play it? Should we play the new... Oh my gosh, yes, if you've got to do something with this song. Well, it's out today. Should we play it?

Should we play the new? Oh, my gosh, yes, if you want to. We would love to play it. First play on ZM. First play. This is the brand-new Kaylee Bell track. She's opening for Kane Brown tonight at Spark Arena. Here's Cowboy Up.

Good to see you, Kaylee. Yeah, you guys too. Bree and Clint. ZM, Bree and Clint, I told you before I've got a crazy story about a mother and son who have been reunited and it is a wild story. Don't make any rude jokes because this is a great story. Okay. Well, you know where my

mind goes. I know. There was the way you worded it. But you're going to ruin it if you do that. Okay? I don't mean to sound like a fun sponge, but you will. What are you like the son in this story or something, eh? Okay. You're so connected to it. So the story today is about two people who found out they were related to each other

later in life, and the craziest bit is they are mother and son. Like, you can find out you have cousins or uncles or even brothers and sisters later in life. Mother and son, it doesn't get closer than that. No, a guy called Vamar, he's 50, he lives in Chicago, he has a favourite bakery

that he's been going to for years. He goes there once a week. He even knows the owner of the bakery. He goes there so much. He loves the food. He loves the service. And he loves the people. He knows and he has always known that he's adopted.

Right. It's not a secret. Okay. He has been working with a genealogist to try and track down his birth mother. He did Ancestry.com. He got some information. And then he went to a genealogist to try and track down his birth mother. He did Ancestry.com, he got some information and then he went to a genealogist. That genealogist found his mother

and then gave Verma's phone number to the woman, the mother. If she wanted to contact him. Yeah, because, and she said he is keen to meet here's the number. Up to you. If you're keen to meet then you both want to meet so you can make contact. The ball's in your court.

God, you'd be so anxious if you were him. Yes. If you, like, know that she's been found. Yes. And then your number's been handed over and you're like, what if I never hear from her? Yeah, totally. You know?

You'd just be on edge until she called. You'd feel like you'd been adopted out all over again. Verma's mum does call him, and he finds out that his mum is the owner of the bakery that he's been going to for years. That is freaking wild. He didn't know. She didn't know. She didn't know that this guy that was coming in

and buying stuff from the bakery was her son that she adopted out 50 years ago. Her name's Lindsay. 50 years ago! She's 67 now. Lindsay's 67. She gave birth to Vimar in 1974 when she was

17. Wow! She made the decision then to put him up for adoption. She never saw her son's face when he was born. She decided it would have been too hard to give him away if she had seen him. So when he was born, her mum saw him, but nobody else. No photos, no nothing.

And he just went. Even if she did see the baby's face. You wouldn't recognise. You wouldn't recognise someone. He's a 50-year-old man now. Correct. And you have no connection to him. No.

Well, I mean, apart from the part that you birthed him. You grew him. He is you. Yeah. Anyway, they've reunited. They've been inseparable since. It's a happy reunion. Lindsay has recently had a stroke and can't work.

And Verma has quit his job and he now runs the bakery. Shut up. That's awesome. Oh, that's such a nice story. That's a lovely story. You know what would have made that story better? A bit of incest. Shut up.

Well, you do need to be careful in those situations because there's only a 17-year age gap. Well, this is the thing, right, is most of these stories end up bad where they go, oh. We had a connection. We didn't know what it was. We thought it was love. Turns out it was mother and son.

Well, thank God. Thank God it wasn't, okay? Thank God it wasn't. Thank God it wasn't. And I'm sorry for making that joke. That was very insensitive. I wasn't. Thank God it wasn't. Thank God it wasn't. And I'm sorry for making that joke. That was very insensitive. I didn't do it. You know what you did.

You know what you did. I didn't do it. I thought about it. Bree and Clint. Bree and Clint. Sorry, my brain just crashed for a second. I got like, you know, the spinning wheel you get on your computer

when it's buffering? The rainbow wheel of death. I was buffering. Yeah. It was me buffering. Buffering. From iHeartRadio, this is The Latest. Word on the street is Melania Trump won't move into the White House.

What? When Donald Trump goes in there. Next thing you're telling me. At the start of next year. She's not sleeping in the same bed as Donald. That's your theory, eh? That they're not even together. I don't reckon they're together.

I don't think they've been together for a long time, but I could be wrong. She was mysteriously absent on the campaign trail right up until the very end. She was, yeah. So they do the thing where the departing president and the incoming president have a handover, and that's happened this week.

She didn't go. It's usually the president and their partner and the new president and their partner. Yeah, well, she's the first lady. She will be first lady again. Oh, she didn't go. It's usually the president and their partner and the new president and their partner. Yeah, well she's the first lady. She will be. Oh, she will be, yeah. So Joe and Jill Biden host the Trumps

and Melania not keen. That sounds like a comedy. What's that? Joe and Jill Biden host the Trumps. Yeah, sounds like a... Like meet the fuckers. Yeah, it does. There's a plot line. Meet the Trumps. Yeah, sounds like a... Like, meet the fuckers. Yeah, something like that. There's a plot line. Meet the motherfuckers.

So yeah, let's watch this space. You'd have to start divorce rumours if she doesn't go into the White House. Why wouldn't you live in the White House? It's the freaking White House. Remember there was that whole big deal the last time he won the presidency where he was going to live in Trump Tower and he wasn't going to live in the White House. Oh yeah where he was going to live in Trump Tower

and he wasn't going to live in the White House. Oh, yeah, he was going to keep his Trump plane and not use the Air Force One. Yeah, remember that? Yeah, yeah. All that kind of stuff went down? Yeah. I don't know. I reckon he'll put a McDonald's in the White House this time.

You cut your own McDonald's? I reckon he's going to go all out. What was it that was his order? Oh, no, it was a diet. Was it a Diet Coke? Remember he had a button? Oh yes, yeah, yeah, yeah. He had a Diet Coke button on the desk.

In the Oval Office. He had just a button purely to bring him Diet Cokes. Yeah, yeah. He is... Honestly... If a child became president, he does the things, you know? Honestly. If I was president, I'd have a Diet Coke button.

This movie is writing itself. It's a great idea. I love the idea was prison I'd have a Diet Coke button This movie is writing itself It's a great idea I love the idea Who wouldn't want A Diet Coke button The overlovers It's a great idea I had the idea first

It's terrific It's all my idea It's so terrific It works so well Brian Clint Back after this on ZM Brian Clint Once upon a time
