The ZM Podcast Network us yeah okay um we've got oh screw you grey best intro ever we've got one producer in europe
gallivanting around the louvre yes we've got one producer stuck at home with covid19 yep we have
um fill-in producer megan who you're already accustomed to hi megan hello and now we've got
other fill-in producer meg just to make just to make it even more confusing, we've got the double Meg show.
I've got a really important question.
Yeah.
Where's Ben?
He left a while ago, mate.
Right.
Yeah, he's not coming back.
Probably somewhere with producer Anastasia.
Yeah.
Where's Anastasia?
Wait, let's throw it back.
Where's Ellie?
Christ on a bike.
Oh, my God.
I can't keep up.
Hey, I've got something for the podcast.
Okay.
I've got something.
As long as it's not COVID.
We cannot afford to lose another team member.
It's not COVID related.
Yesterday, I'm going to give you guys a guess each.
So I watched a movie.
Project X.
No, I watched that too.
I watched a movie in the sequel to the movie.
Back to the Future.
No.
And I'm going to say in terms of your and my generation,
probably one of the most prominent movies in our generation's history
for pop culture references.
Okay, so just like a check, 35, 33.
Are you including producer Megan, 30 in our generation?
Yep.
Are you including Ella, Ella.
Oh my God.
Meg, 21?
23.
23.
No, she's not in our generation.
But I reckon she would have seen it.
Okay.
Maybe.
So it's definitely, well, there's no sequel to Step Brothers.
Anchorman.
Okay, I'll give you another clue.
Bring it on.
I believe there's three films that got made in the franchise, if not four.
Is it?
It's not.
Ice Age.
It's not Anna Kendrick's.
Is it Home Alone?
Did you?
Pitch Perfect.
Pitch Perfect.
No, mate.
That's way too, like, recent.
Also, it's older than Pitch Perfect. Yeah, mate. That's way too recent. So it's older than Pitch Perfect.
Yeah, it's older.
Way older.
Does it have Will Ferrell in it?
No.
I reckon it's 10 years before Pitch Perfect.
It's not Bring It On and Bring It On 2.
No.
And it's got at least two sequels.
Yes.
And it's quotable?
It is one of the
like, when I was watching it back
I was like, holy shit
this movie like shaped
and gave us pretty much
every pop culture reference.
No, not Die Hard. That's too old.
Yippee-ki-yay, motherfucker. You've gone too old.
Okay, so it's older than Pitch Perfect and newer than
Die Hard. Was it Mean Girls?
I mean, that's an iconic movie. It doesn't have a sequel, does it?
What clue can I give you?
It has...
Oh, no.
Okay, hold on.
What?
Who can I...
There's people that as soon as I say them, you'll go,
I know who, I know what movie it is.
Is it The Matrix?
No.
Okay, it's a comedy.
Ooh.
It's very funny.
Well, it's a comedy.
I'd hope so. And it hasn't aged well. comedy. Ooh. It doesn't help. It's very funny. Well, it's a comedy. I'd hope so.
And it hasn't aged well.
Ah.
And it's quotable and there's like three of them.
Is it American Pie?
American Pie.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I watched American Pie and American Pie 2 and holy shit, you do not realise.
It has not aged well.
It has not aged well at all.
But you do not realise what came from that film.
When he's filming Nadia, the hot exchange student, on his webcam,
so messed up.
But it was the beginning of the internet.
We didn't understand.
So people are like, this is fine.
It's on the internet.
I know what came out of that movie.
Jennifer Coolidge sleeping with over 200 men.
Yeah.
We were talking about it last week.
And when we were talking about that, because that was a news story last week,
the term MILF came from that movie.
She's the original MILF.
Are you kidding?
No.
They invented the term MILF for the film.
That came from that film.
MILF didn't exist before American Pie.
No.
I don't believe so.
No, it didn't because there's a scene in American Pie where he goes,
she's a MILF.
And the guy goes, dude, what's a milf?
You're joking.
Mom, I'd like to fuck.
And then they go, milf, milf, milf, milf, milf.
Wow.
Yeah.
Hey, Stifler, how's the pale ale?
There's so many things, so many quotable things that have come from that movie.
This one time at Bandcamp.
Tell me if you agree as one of those
trilogies
because you only count
the first three
that it goes
one three two
in order of
how good they were
so American Pie
the wedding
is better than
American Pie 2
well I haven't watched
the wedding one
like in years
so I'd have to watch that
the wedding's good
but number two's not bad
Eugene Levy is great
oh he's so good
the only downside
to Eugene Levy is he was in all of them
He was in like American Pie 15
Was he?
Yeah he stayed with it
But I mean he would have been getting paid
Yeah he would have been getting paid decent money
But it's interesting because I went to try and find it
I don't know why on Netflix
So American Pie the original one is not on any streaming services
Is it not?
We rented it on Apple TV.
Yeah.
But American Pie 2 is on Netflix.
Yeah, right.
Tara Reid?
Yeah.
Is Natasha Lyod in that?
Yes.
She's iconic.
Like, she's so good at it.
She's the one that is pretty much, like, the cool one.
And Tara Reid's friend.
She looks exactly the same i've
just googled a photo of her in the movie crazy a yeah she's in the first second i don't know if
she's in the third one um anybody ever make love to an apple no no don't answer that as i did no
yeah the movie has aged so badly yeah like just i could not even believe. I was like, I can't believe that as a young.
Was it 1999?
The year I was born, baby.
Oh, shit.
Like as kids, we watched it and got, you know, a lot of our references or like, you know,
how to treat people.
Oh, God.
Especially women.
Like the way the men talk about women in that film is just disgusting.
1999.
So I watched it on DVD.
I remember watching it for the very first time
and it wasn't in 1999.
It was a couple of years after.
And I was having a sleepover at my friend's house
and he was like,
bro, you'll never believe what my parents have let me rent.
American pie.
It was iconic, wasn't it?
Yeah.
It changed pop culture. Yeah. It really did. It was that massive wasn't it It changed Pop culture
It really did it was that massive of a movie
I think I probably saw my first boobs in that movie
Me too
There's so much nudity
And we were allowed to watch it unsupervised
Yeah I can't believe it
But anyway I just thought that was really interesting
I'd love to watch it
I haven't watched that movie in 15 years
I'm going to listen to the soundtrack on the way home i didn't know there
was a fourth one there's more than a fourth one it goes and goes and goes and goes but like in
terms of the original cast i think definitely the first three three because it goes american pie
american pie to american pie the wedding yeah yeah that's right no the american pie the wedding
there's a scene where he shaves his pubes into a towel.
Clint, shout out to you.
And then he throws it out the window.
Maybe that's where I got it.
Yeah.
Anyway, we're not rehashing that.
We're not bringing that back.
Love it.
What's the main song from American Pie?
What's the... Oh, there's so many iconic 90s songs.
Like Michelle Branch is in that song.
Yeah.
Because you're everything.
You know, just 90s.
Hit us with your throwback movies on the Facebook page.
Yeah, what's a really good throwback movie to re-watch?
And especially if it hasn't aged well.
Yeah.
Actually, no.
You know what's a great boner to do tomorrow?
What is a movie you've re-watched recently and it hasn't aged well?
Yeah.
There'll be so many.
Harry Potter.
Harry Potter? I haven't seen it. Not me. aged well. Yeah. There'll be so many. Harry Potter. Harry Potter?
I haven't seen it.
Not me.
Not you.
No.
You always do that.
She hasn't seen it either.
Not me.
Not Hermione.
You.
Coming in.
Well, howdy, pilgrim.
I haven't seen American Pie, so.
What the hell?
Good afternoon, one.
It is Brie and Clint.
Good afternoon, everybody.
Welcome to the show.
It's Brie and Clint.
We're back, baby.
Happy Monday, everyone.
Good to be back.
Well, producer Claude isn't here, but nearly the whole show.
Man down.
Man down.
Man down.
It's the time we live in.
Hope she's feeling better soon.
That means just me and fill-in producer Megan left to get COVID.
You haven't had it, eh?
She's had it.
Oh, you've had it.
Is it just me?
Are you talking about other fill-in producer Meg?
Have you had it, Meg?
Yeah, she's had it too.
So it's just me.
Just you.
What do I win?
What do I get for this?
Nothing.
Nothing?
Nothing.
You know what you win?
All those vaccinations for nothing.
You win the satisfaction of a few weeks afterwards feeling like you're immune.
Yeah, right.
After you recover.
Right, okay.
No, I don't get that.
Only you guys get that.
Why?
You get that immunity. I haven't even had it, so when would I feel like that?
No, but I'm saying after you get it.
Yeah, right.
Anyway.
It's only a matter of time.
Kia kaha, New Zealand.
Today on the show, David Koryos is coming in for a chat.
You'll know him from Taskmaster.
He's going to give away some tickets to the Great New Zealand Comedy Debate
going down this week in Auckland.
Plus, we're going to try and get you along to the Comedy Gala
for the Best Foods Comedy Festival in Auckland or Wellington today on the show.
That's right.
If you want those, we'll tell you how you can win some of those tickets.
But right now, we've got $50, all thanks to KFC, with Tradie vs. Lady.
Bree and Clint.
Bree and Clint.
Tradie vs. Lady.
All right, Tradie vs. Lady is back and a score update for you.
The Tradies still leading on 70 wins for the year.
The Ladies on 56.
Let's go to our Lady first.
She's 27.
She's from Hawke's Bay and she eats pickles with peanut butter.
Oh, yeah.
Is that good?
Would that be good?
I don't know.
Celery and peanut butter works.
Yeah, but pickles?
Yeah, well, let's ask her.
Hello, Kate.
Kate?
Hello.
Put down the pickles, Kate.
Yeah, I was going to say, is it good?
Is it good?
Tell us.
Yeah, it's good.
I love pickles and peanut butter, so it's my fave.
Yeah, but that doesn't mean you should eat them together, Kate.
Yeah, is it like that episode of Friends where Joey loves lasagna and trifle, so he puts
them together?
Not a fan of Friends, so I do apologise for that.
Oh, OK.
Now all your colours to the past early.
You're taking on our tradie today.
He's 29 years old.
He lives in Invercargill, dirty south in your mouth,
and he has two workmates who have both played
and lost Tradieverse Lady.
Welcome to the show, Lennon.
How's it going?
Lennon, could you be third mate lucky, as they say? Third time lucky, yeah. Oh, yeah, I'm not the brains of the group, Lennon. How's it going? Lennon, could you be third mate lucky, as they say?
Third time lucky, yeah.
Oh, yeah, I've knocked the brains of the group, so probably not.
What's the trade where two of you haven't been able to win?
What do you guys do?
Roofers.
Roofers.
All right, well, you are carrying the reputation of all the roofers in New Zealand this afternoon.
Lennon, you're not on a roof right now, are you?
I'm on a knuckle boom.
Okay, good.
I'm just checking.
Classic knuckle boom. Okay, Kate, your'm just checking. Ah, classic knuckle boom.
Okay.
Kate, your buzzer is Lady.
Lennon, your buzzer is Tradie.
First to three correct answers gets $50 cash from KFC.
Good luck to both of you.
Here we go, guys.
Question number one.
Which cast member from the TV show... Tradie.
Yes, Lennon.
It'll be Phoebe, so it's Lisa Kudrow.
Wow.
That is correct.
The rest of the question, without even doing it, you already hit the answer.
Well, she's not even a Friends fan, so.
Yeah, I know.
Yeah, I know, Linda, but you literally read Bree's mind there, okay?
That was quite incredible.
I didn't even say Friends.
No.
I didn't even get to that part.
The rest of the question was, TV show sitcom Friends was reportedly seen dining at a restaurant
in Wellington over the weekend.
Boom shakalaka.
It was Lisa Kudrow.
One to the tradies.
Question number two.
The opening of New Zealand's first Costco has been delayed,
probably because of COVID.
Everything is.
Name one thing you can buy from a Costco.
Ready?
Yes, Lennon.
A hammer?
Wow.
You can buy anything from Costco.
We'll take it. That was a trick question. You can get anything. You can get coffins A hammer? You can buy anything from Costco. We'll take it.
That was a trick question.
You can get anything.
You can get coffins from Costco.
You can.
And ham.
Two to the tradies.
Lennon, you could take it here.
Kate, you need this one to stop him.
Yep.
Here we go.
Question number three.
What does the F stand for in FBI?
Kate, ladies.
Yes, Kate.
Bureau.
No.
Oh, the F, Kate. The F, ladies. Yes, Kate. Bureau. No. Kate.
Oh, the F, Kate.
The F, Kate.
Yes.
Oh, no.
Lennon.
Bill.
Well done.
Kate.
That was rough, Kate.
Kate.
Didn't listen to the question.
Hey, Lennon, what a masterclass, mate.
You are the smartest roofer in Invercargill.
Congratulations.
That's not very much, though, is it?
Hey, Lennon, go rub it in your two mates' faces.
That one, 50 bucks coming your way.
Happy days.
Bree and Clint.
I feel like I'm amongst my people right now, Clint.
There is hundreds of texts on the text machine,
all people complaining that they have a crappy birth date.
Pack of wengers.
What could be so bad about a birth date?
Mate, it's because you've got a good birth date,
so you don't know.
You don't understand the pain.
No, my birthday's hard.
Sometimes it's too hot in February.
Oh, you poor thing.
Sometimes.
Did I ever tell you that my last workplace,
and this is a legit story, there's a video to prove it,
I came up with this plan because my birthday's on January 3rd,
never back at work, so I've never gotten, you know.
The workplace birthday.
Yeah, like normally my last workplace, everyone got a birthday cake.
So I'd never got any free cake and I was like, stuff this.
I told my producer to start telling people that it was my birthday on February 3rd, a month later, when everyone's back at work.
And they threw me a full birthday.
Can I just say, the goals you have for your life are very achievable.
And that's why I set myself up for success.
If the thing that would make you happy is a shitty cake from work.
It made me so happy.
We can do that for you.
Yeah.
We can literally do that.
No, I think it's because you always see everyone else,
and if you've never had it, you're like, oh,
I wonder what that feels like.
Anyway, we're asking you guys this afternoon,
tell us about your crappy birth date.
Josh is here.
Hi, Josh.
Hi, Josh.
Hey, guys.
How's it going?
Good. Thank you, mate. Tell us, Josh, when is it. Hi, Josh. Hi, Josh. Hey, guys. How's it going? Good.
Thank you, mate.
Tell us, Josh, when is it?
It's actually two days before yours.
No way.
I got January the 1st.
New Year's Day.
Yeah, still pretty crappy, isn't it?
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, for pretty much all the same reasons that you said,
as well as no one's there.
Yeah.
Everyone's on holidays and stuff.
Yeah, but what about the festivals?
Like, there's never been a bigger party for your birthday.
You know, like, when the clock goes midnight at Rhythm and Vine,
isn't that a great birthday to have, Josh?
I'm not really a big festival person, eh?
Oh, yeah, then no, it's a shit birthday.
Hey, Josh, I just need to...
So, I, yeah, haven't really enjoyed it all that much.
I just need to double check with you if you're the same as me.
Do you get joint Christmas and birthday presents?
Oh, yeah.
Oh, it's the worst, isn't it?
You're only one week.
Just the one big present.
Yeah.
I'm like, no, I don't care if you get me two little things.
You just want them in separate wrapping.
I just want them in separate wrapping.
Yeah, yeah.
Christy's here.
Hi, Christy.
Hi, Christy.
Hi, guys.
How are you? Good. Christy, I can already feel the pain in your voice. Tell me, mate Christy's here. Hi, Christy. Hi, Christy. Hi, guys. How are you?
Good.
Christy, I can already feel the pain in your voice.
Tell me, mate, what's your crappy birth date?
So my birthday is the 30th of May,
which always links up to Queen's birthday weekend.
No, that's a great birthday.
What's wrong with that as a birthday?
That's awesome.
No, because growing up, every time I wanted to throw a birthday,
everyone had gone away for the long weekend,
so I'd either have to celebrate it the week before my birthday
or the two weeks after because a week after mine,
a week after mine was my sister's birthday.
Oh, okay.
All right.
I kind of get it now.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
As an adult, though, that's a bit of a life hack.
Hey, Christy, what were your parents up to nine months before that date?
Because there's a lot of babies around that day.
That was their special time of the year.
Their anniversary.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Let's talk to Moana.
Kia ora, Moana.
Hi, Moana.
Hi.
How are you?
Good.
Thank you, mate.
Tell us, do you have a crappy birth date and why?
I have the worst birth date.
It's bang on Christmas Day.
Oh, bless your heart.
You and little baby Jesus.
Oh, you are the people I feel for the most.
So it's definitely combined presents when you're growing up.
Did your family do something special for you on Christmas Day
to distinguish between Christmas and your birthday?
No.
No?
Not even when you were a kid?
No.
And I had no friends around either
because everyone's on school holidays.
Oh, I feel for you so bad.
What about now?
Do people, now that you're older,
do people still give you joint birthday and Christmas presents?
No, it's mandatory.
They're not allowed.
Good, Moana.
You need to start putting these rules in place. She's laid down the law. Finally, Sarah, it's mandatory. They're not allowed. Good, Moana.
You need to start putting these rules in place.
She's laid down the law.
Finally, Sarah, when's your crappy birthday?
Hi.
It's not actually my birthday.
It's my brother's birthday.
Okay.
When's he born?
Christmas Day.
Yeah.
The worst.
But he actually has the best birthday out of us all.
Everyone goes out of their way.
He gets extra cakes. He gets extra cakes.
He gets extra presents.
He has such a great day. Are you sure, though, Sarah?
Because does he still get joint presents?
No, he doesn't.
No, he gets separate ones.
And he always laughs about it and says how he gets,
it's way better for him.
He's kind of hacked it.
He's made Christmas Day all about him, you know?
Oh, absolutely.
The best day of the year is now officially his day.
He's stolen it.
Oh, absolutely.
He's the anomaly though.
He's usurped baby Jesus.
He is the anomaly.
Someone's texted through
and they said,
John here,
my birthday is on 23rd of December
and for most of my adolescence
and childhood,
I would get batteries
as my birthday present
and then the actual present
or the toy that goes with it on Christmas.
Yeah, that's just smart parenting, to be honest.
That's a good move.
Bree and Clint.
Time for the later.
From iHeartRadio, this is the latest live from LA with Zee McCarthy.
New Zealand is a buzz because apparently there's one of the friends here at the moment.
Lisa Kudrow, Phoebe from Friends, rumoured to be in New Zealand.
The New Zealand Herald has confirmed.
Yeah, she's here.
She's in Wellington.
This is so cool.
I read this article and was like, what?
Yeah.
What is she doing here?
What's the rumour?
Why is she here?
So she had dinner on Cuba Street in Wellington on Friday night.
Very cool.
She went to Loretta, if you know Wellington.
Oh, that place is going to be buzzing. Yes.
Absolutely. But
why is she here? She's producing the 11th
season of Who Do You Think You Are?
Which is a show where
it traces celebrities' family
histories and often takes
them back to where they're from.
So why is she in New Zealand?
They reckon
maybe she's doing a Taika Waititi episode.
Oh, I thought I was going to say thingy.
He's doing one about thingy.
Well, no, he's from outer space.
Oh, that's why it would be so interesting.
Yeah, that would, yeah.
You know?
Yeah.
Taika's been spotted in Wellington as well,
and Taika's mum lives in Wellington.
Oh, my God, that'll be awesome.
That could be a coincidence, by the way.
It could be.
People are assuming things here.
Doesn't sound like a coincidence.
She could be here to shoot the new season
of Wellington Paranormal.
She could be.
She could be here because turns out Mittens,
the cat from Wellington, is actually a smelly cat.
Yeah, right.
Mittens has moved to Auckland now, did you know?
Oh, that's right.
That was a while ago, wasn't it?
Yeah, he's in Auckland now.
Well, maybe someone didn't tell Lisa Kudrow.
Yeah, right. Do your research, Lisa. I mean Oh, that's right. That was a while ago, wasn't it? Yeah, he's in Auckland now. Well, maybe someone didn't tell Lisa Kudrow. Yeah, right.
Do your research, Lisa. I mean, welcome to the
country.
Guys, the time has finally
come where Apple
users and Android
users are going to come together
as one. What about Oppo
phone users? Yep, I believe so.
Do Oppo use
USB-C? What about Huawei users?
Are they coming in?
I think nearly the time is here that everyone will come together as one.
World peace.
World peace because an Apple analyst has stated that he believes
that AirPod models released in 2023,
which is obviously the headphones,
are going to be launched with USB-C charging cases.
And he also suggests that this means that the iPhone 15,
due to be released next year,
will come with a USB-C charging point.
Praise the Lord.
Finally, we can share chargers.
Finally, they can let us all unite. Yeah. Although,
I mean, great for me as a Samsung
user who's already using USB-C,
I imagine it's quite annoying for
you who probably has a few
iPhone chargers already. Yeah,
I mean... Changing charger is bloody annoying.
It's the... Do you remember back
in the day, an iPhone,
you had those big, long, chunky chargers?
Yeah.
And all of the...
What were those things called?
The docking speakers?
Yeah, iPod docks.
Yeah, they were all with those.
Everything had a dock built into it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And then all of a sudden, Apple goes,
actually, we've thought about it.
We're going to change it.
Well, it will be useful because, like we said, we can share charges.
Because, I mean, the Apple MacBooks have already gone to USB-C.
Yes, the way the world's going.
So, I mean, why not just change it all over?
I read a thing today where Google are going to put real pressure on Apple
to allow everybody to blue message each other.
Oh, see, this is big. To get rid of the green bubble text messages.
Yeah.
Because iPhones can.
Obviously, you can group chat all of your mates on the iPhone,
but then as soon as you've got a mate who's got an Android.
You're like, oh, bloody Terry.
Can someone message Terry separately?
You either leave them out of the group chat or you just do what normal people do and, I don't know, use
Facebook Messenger or WhatsApp or whatever it is.
But you have to do something else, right?
So they're saying, look, it's not fair.
You're just making people feel bad.
And there's better ways to message now than
those green bubbles.
We've got to all move to the same
kind of texting platform.
Fill-in producer Meg was saying to me that
because she's a Gen Z-er,
she said it's the ultimate red flag
if you start messaging someone
and it comes up as green.
And it goes green.
Is that right, producer Meg?
Yeah.
So the fact that you're going to be losing
a sort of red flag check
is pretty disappointing.
No, but it's no longer a red flag
because you don't need it
because you can now blue message each other.
Producer Meg's like,
how will we know
where these people are?
Well, there you go.
Global Harmony on the way.
Potentially, maybe.
It's all rumoured, I'm sure.
Finally.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's about time.
The good thing is, too, when they release the Apple USB-C chargers,
they'll add like $70 to the price of a normal USB-C charger
because it'll be better.
You know, and I've always said that the products need to be a bit more expensive.
Bree and Clint.
Okay, it's time for a round of...
Guess That Voice!
Pretty simple game where we play celebrity voices
and the first person to guess who that celebrity is gets a point.
First to three wins.
Producer Claude's down with COVID.
So who's in charge? Are you in charge
today, Meg? Can I be
in charge? Do you know the answers?
Can you be in charge? No, I don't know
the answers. Does Producer Megan?
Producer Megan, do you know the answers?
I don't know anything about this.
Sorry, we don't know what we're doing. Well, technically
we can kind of run it, can't we?
We don't know who the voices are.
Oh, wait, no, I can find out the answers.
That's so true.
I did load the audio, but I didn't listen to it.
Okay.
Chaos.

Ooh.
You got the first name right.
Yep.
Charlie Estevez.
Isn't that his real name?
It's Charlie Sheen.
Yeah, but I think his real given name is Charlie Estevez.
Oh, no one asked for that, okay?
They just need a stage name.
Do you want a bonus point for that?
Yeah, I want extra points.
Hey, Andy, you picked up the 50 KFC chicken dollars.
Nice work, mate.
Thank you.
Why did my brain go to his original name?
Why do you know his original name?
I don't know.
It's a great question.
Alright,
some KFC chicken dollars
going out to Andy.
Chaos this afternoon.
Clint,
we have to talk about
the biggest story
that's making news
in Australia
at the moment.
Right.
Have you seen it?
The massive
one page ad
that someone
has taken out in a local newspaper
to call out her cheating ex.
I have seen this.
It's huge.
Yeah.
Everyone's talking about it.
Yeah.
Right?
It's the most unique, like, cheating revenge I've seen.
Yeah.
So I'll give you the details if you haven't seen it.
So on Friday, this all happened.
In the newspaper, the readers of the Mackay and Whitsunday
Life newspaper, to be exact, the local newspaper, a full page advertisement costing what they
are saying between $1,500 to $2,000 was printed on page four from a scorned lover called Jenny.
Okay.
Right. So this is what it said, full page in the newspaper. This is the only thing that It's printed on page four from a scorned lover called Jenny. Okay. Right?
So this is what it said.
Full page in the newspaper.
This is the only thing that was on this page.
Yeah.
It said, Dear Steve, I hope you're happy with her.
Now the whole town will know what a filthy cheater you are from Jenny.
P.S. I bought this ad using your credit card.
That is good. Savage. That is good.
Savage.
That is good.
And because it's blown up and now all these people are reporting on it,
she's got way more than $1,500 worth of coverage out of it.
Well, it's not even her money.
It's global. She used his card.
Well, great point.
Yeah.
You know?
I mean.
That is bang for buck.
Can you imagine you sit down on Friday morning and you go,
I'll give the paper a flick through, see
what's happening. With my new girlfriend.
Babe, don't read
this paper.
Babe, I'll get you a magazine. Cosmo,
do you want a Cosmo? Papers are dead. I don't want to read.
We shouldn't read those. No, don't read this one.
No, no, no. Do we need to start that fire?
You need to get into TikTok. That's what you should be
watching TikTok. I've got newspaper to start the fire, babe.
You tell me when.
It's gone viral around the world.
Everyone is talking about it, and that's why I thought we could do this.
I mean, newspaper, great, but pretty expensive.
Yeah.
To put, you know, a whole ad in the newspaper.
Two grand.
Two grand, they're saying.
I thought we could give people the opportunity.
And I'm quite interested if we ask people the question,
what would be your message to your ex?
Sure.
It doesn't have to be negative.
I mean, we'll take the negative ones as well.
It can be positive if you like,
but if you wanted to put a message out to your ex on national
radio this afternoon,
you can do that. Live on our show
on 0800 dials at M, you can
give a shout out to your ex. And it might be
an ex from years ago. It doesn't have to be
one. This is a good question. How far back are we going?
What's the statute of limitations
on a shout out to your ex? There's no limitations.
Really? No. Right.
Maybe it's just something you've always wanted
to get off your chest.
You can text us on 9696
or you can call
0800 DIAL ZM
if you'd like.
And do a shout out
to your ex.
A shout out to your ex.
What would you say
to your ex
given the opportunity?
This is a one time deal
by the way.
We're not doing
weekly shout outs
to people's exes.
One time only.
We're not digging up the past week after week, okay?
Or else we'll charge $2,000.
Yeah, exactly right.
There's money to be made in this.
Shout-out to some of the people who have texted some shocking shout-outs to their exes.
And some hectic ones.
Not all of them are allowed to be broadcast legally.
What about this one?
Shout-out to my ex. Instead of spending $1,200 of our money on professional photos
for your Bumble profile,
maybe getting some therapy would have been a better use of that money.
You spend $1,200 on your Bumble photos?
Who is getting professional photos done for their Bumble
and is in a relationship?
And you're in a relationship.
Oh, God.
Let's go to some people on the phones.
Hi, Dee. Hi, Dee. Hi, guys. And you're in a relationship. Oh, God. Let's go to some people on the phones. Hi, Dee.
Hi, Dee.
Hi, guys.
Okay, floor's all yours.
You just hit us with a shout-out to my ex and then your message.
Shout-out to my ex who had two relationships at the same time.
And when we broke up, changed his relationship, set us to single,
and then into a relationship five minutes straight afterwards.
You're kidding me.
What?
What did he think that was going to do?
I don't know, but he ended up taking my V-card
and then that's when we broke up.
Oh, yeah.
Okay, all right, okay.
I just imagined that guy going,
wait a minute, I'm going to change my status.
This will throw her off the scent.
And then boom, straight into a relationship.
And then boom, straight back.
Okay, Sheila's here.
Hi, Sheila.
G'day, Sheila.
Hello.
Hello.
Sheila.
You give us a shout out to my ex and then go for it.
Shout out to my ex.
I hope you managed to find somebody that doesn't mind you not showering every day.
Woo-hoo!
Shout out to my ex.
You're really quite the man.
Boom!
Got it Sheila
Bit of a stinky ex there is it
Sheila
Yeah right
I hope that made the break up a bit easier I guess
Oh god
There's some hectic ones coming through
On the text machine
Someone was saying
Hey shout out to my ex
Thanks for sleeping with my best friend.
Could have picked someone I wasn't so close to.
Or just don't pick anyone and break up with someone before you do that.
Shout out to your best friend in that situation too.
Oh, God.
Finally, this person wants to be anonymous.
Hi, anonymous.
Hi, anonymous.
Hello.
Do you think you have the one that takes the cake, anonymous?
I don't want it to be, but it sounds like I might do.
Oh, no, Anonymous.
Come on, shout out to your ex and then go for it.
Shout out to my ex.
Please pay me back my $21,000 you owe me by Friday.
Thanks very much and from you know who. Oh!
$21,000, Anonymous.
Yes, indeed.
I was silly.
I thought he was in love.
I thought he loved me.
Lend him some money.
Now he's ghosting me.
No, Anonymous.
That's so uncool.
Hey, imagine if he is driving right now and he hears it and he goes,
oh, shit, I better pay back that money.
Well, not only that, I have contacted his wife to tell her that he owes me the money too.
There's a wife as well?
There's a wife?
There's a wife as well.
You've taken the cake.
Nice.
Well, not nice work, but you've taken the cake, Anonymous.
I won't say nice work.
Oh, thanks.
Hey, one more for the text machine.
One more? Okay.
Someone said, hey, guys, shout out to my ex, Marie.
I miss indoor gardening with you.
Oh, that's a nice one.
It is. That's a nice one.
Unless, of course, you cheated on Marie,
and that's why she's not talking to you.
Shout out to my ex.
You're really quite the man.
Bree and Clint.
Six of the country's best comedians are getting ready for the great comedy debate.
It is coming to Auckland for one night only this Wednesday at the Kew Theatre.
One of those on the debate team is David Koryos and he joins us in the studio right now.
Hi, David.
Hello.
G'day, David. You're up. With Di Henwood and Lana Walters,
you're going against Hayley Sproul, Angela Dravid, and Josh Thompson.
And the moot is, love will save us.
Are you affirmative or negative?
I'm affirmative, baby.
So you believe in love?
I believe in love.
I believe in nothing but love.
Just say that in the middle of your heart.
And what do you think is going to be your main tact for the debate?
Like, is there any weaknesses in the other team?
Like, how are you going to attack it?
Oh, how am I going to attack it?
So I've never debated before.
Great start.
I've masturbated, but I've never debated, right?
Okay.
So we thought we could test you out this afternoon
and make sure you're debate ready.
We're going to throw some moots at you
and give you 30 seconds to convince us of these moots.
You didn't tell me about this.
No, but you're best on the fly.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It needs to be impromptu.
So David Koryos, to prepare you for the great comedy debate, your first moot, you need to
convince us that Jeremy Wells, host of Taskmaster, is a terrible person.
Jeremy Wells is a terrible person.
He's so terrible.
He's like, he's almost made me cry.
Like, I don't know if you've, like,
he didn't let my Christchurch task get any points.
And that was terrible.
And I went to Christchurch for eight hours.
I drove around Christchurch for eight hours
taking all those photos to get barely anything out of it. It's terrible.
Horrible.
But I'm like...
Yeah, time on the clock. That's fine. You've got
your point across. Do we believe him? Do we hate Jeremy Wells
now? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Don't hate him. Don't hate him. I love him. He's such a good
guy. He's such a good guy.
He's so handsome and he's so lovely.
That, I believe.
You're too good at debating. That part, I believe.
Okay, Bree's got your second moot for you.
Okay, here we go.
Here's your second one.
I reckon you're going to nail this.
Women shouldn't wear bras.
What?
Go.
Free the nip.
Like, free it for everyone.
And, like, let's, like, you know?
And how much of a stranglehold around our titties
do the bra shops have?
Let's get, let's bring those down.
My titties, your titties, everyone's titties.
Like, just get, oh my God,
I was about to say something horrific,
but I can't say, what am I saying?
Do you like it?
No, I don't.
You know what, bros? No, because at the end of the day, when I take it off, it's? No, I don't. You don't like Brie?
No, because at the end of the day, when I take it off, it's the best part of my day.
You're really conflicted there.
You're holding it back.
Yeah.
So you like the release?
Yes.
That's okay.
You don't have to believe what you're saying in a debate.
You just have to be able to convince other people of it.
That's what a debate is.
You don't have to believe it, man.
You just need to...
Oh, my God.
Are you just learning?
Mate, this debate is on Wednesday. Oh, no. You just need to... Oh, my God. Are you just learning? Mate, this debate is on Wednesday.
Oh, no.
This is on Wednesday.
Oh, no.
We're going to give you one more shot at this, okay?
Okay.
Your final moot, and you're on the affirmative of this.
You need to convince us right now that New Zealand is not a real country.
New Zealand's not a real country.
I mean, look at like 50% of the maps that are available.
New Zealand's barely on them.
Has anyone here ever seen Godzilla from 2001?
There was no New Zealand on that map.
There was no New Zealand on Mars attacks.
If anything, we're just a figment of the imagination
of some Australians.
We're just what Australians want to be.
We don't exist.
We say snags and chookers and chookers.
Chookers?
Yeah, chookers, bruh.
Chookers, bruh?
Do we believe him on the last one?
I think it's a tick.
Okay.
I think it's a tick.
I think he's ready to go.
Well, if he convinced you, you can see him this Wednesday
at the Kew Theatre for the Great New Zealand Comedy Debate.
Brian Clint.
I'm looking for someone who works in a call centre
to give us a call on 0800-DALZATM right now.
Obviously not from your call centre.
Clint, they're probably sick of calling people.
They get paid to do that.
They're over it.
No, do you work in like a help desk?
Like, do people call you?
Because I've got a terrifying question to ask.
Can you guys hear us when we're on hold?
What do you mean?
So, the AM show have been looking into this
after someone from a major bank contacted them and said this.
When you call somewhere and you go on hold,
if you go on hold straight away,
they can't hear anything. But if someone answers you and then puts you on hold, if you go on hold straight away, they can't hear anything.
But if someone answers you and then puts you on hold,
says, hey, I'm going to pop you on hold, check with my supervisor,
I'll come back to you.
Let me just pop you on hold.
I'll transfer you to someone who can help you.
They can hear you.
They can hear you.
No, they can't.
And if you're saying awful things about that company
or you're having private conversations because you've been on hold for 10 to 15, 20, sometimes 40 minutes.
Yeah, sometimes, you know, you go do other things.
If you've gone to the toilet while you've been on hold.
I've definitely done that.
This person is suggesting that on the other end of that line,
they can hear you.
That's an invasion of privacy.
Surely it's an invasion of privacy.
I know some places are like,
our calls are recorded and this and that or whatever,
but I'm picturing they only record them when they want to.
When they're talking.
When you're talking.
That's the important bit, right?
That's the important bit.
So they can check their people are doing the right thing,
not just for no reason when you're on hold.
We're trying to get in touch with someone
who works in a call centre on the phones.
If you are one of those, can you please call us now? I know 800 dials at hold. We're trying to get in touch with someone who works in a call centre on the phones.
If you are one of those, can you please call us now?
I know 800 dials at him.
Can we talk to this person?
Is this person available for us to talk to?
Wait, we've got to pop them on hold first.
Ari, are you there?
I am here. How are you going?
We're just going to pop you on hold for a second.
Sweet, no worries.
He can't hear us. He can't hear us, no.
Surely he can't hear us.
So we can talk about him because he's on hold.
Hey, Ari, we're just kidding.
Mate, do you work in a call centre, like a help desk?
I did for a couple of years.
I work for the police.
Oh, interesting.
Okay, fascinating.
So if you put us on hold, can you hear what we're saying?
Everything.
Absolutely everything.
Shut the front door.
No.
Oh, no.
Yep.
And do you listen or are you off doing other things when you put us on hold?
Sometimes other things, but if it's like a matter of, you know,
like you need to listen because something's going on, then we, yeah, we listen.
True.
Well, look, I understand that for the police.
Oh, but the police is different.
Yeah, I can understand that.
But having worked in a call centre for a long time,
and I assume you guys all use similar technology,
do you reckon that all the airlines and the power companies
and the telcos and everybody like that
that puts us on hold for a long time, can they hear us?
Yeah, I worked for an energy company as well
after I finished up with the police,
and it was exactly the same, man.
We can hear everything.
Wait.
That is freaking terrifying.
Look, Ari, the police, police I think is a different story.
Yeah.
I think that's different kettle of fish.
Do you want to talk to somebody else?
Yeah.
Thank you, Ari.
We appreciate that insight.
Thank you, Ari.
Let's just go to Leah.
Hi, Leah.
G'day, Leah.
Oh, hey.
G'day.
Without revealing your employer, you work in a call centre.
Is that right?
I do, yeah.
Okay.
And what industry?
Like what type of business? Logistics, right? Okay. Oh, okay. So like courier. do, yeah. And what industry? What type of business? Logistics, right?
Oh, okay.
So like courier, delivery,
postal, international.
You'd get some irate customers
calling you going, where's my stuff?
And Leah, can you hear people
when you put them on hold?
No, we can't actually. So if
you hear any talking
or any music on the other end, we can't hear you.
Okay, okay, okay.
That's helpful.
Interesting.
Thank you, Leah.
Or maybe Leah is, because she's working for me, she's trying to throw us off the set.
Yeah, Leah's heard this conversation.
She works for Big Telco.
She's like, get on the radio.
We've got to go one more.
Yeah, okay.
Tesh.
Hi, Tesh.
Hi, Tesh.
Hi.
What industry do you work in, Tish, without naming your business?
No, it's all right.
I actually work at a hospital.
So for a DHB, that's not a DHB anymore.
It's Te Pasu Ora.
Okay, and so you would have to put people on hold semi-regularly?
Yeah, all the time.
So I work basically as reception.
And when we put people on hold, we don't hear a single thing.
Oh, okay. Thank you, single thing. Oh, okay.
Thank you, Tish.
Oh, okay.
So it's not even really exciting to say whatever and we will not hear it.
Are you sure about that, Tish?
I honestly would swear my life was saved.
Okay, okay.
I believe I heard my bosses listening.
What have we gathered?
We've got the medical professionals can't hear us. The freight and logistics can't hear us.
The power and the police can hear us.
I'm mainly concerned about internet.
Internet?
Telcos?
Yeah, because I've had a few frustrating conversations
trying to hook up my Wi-Fi.
Well, let's just try Hayley quickly.
Hayley, what industry are you in?
So I used to work for an insurance company
and fraud and investigations. Oh, Hayley, what industry are you in? So I used to work for an insurance company and fraud and investigation.
Oh, Hayley, tell us.
So we had a couple of people,
we were investigating them for insurance fraud
and listening to the calls while they were on hold,
they sort of gave themselves up.
Stop it.
Wow.
Okay.
Hayley.
Again, I kind of get it, but at the same time.
That's so crazy.
Was Hayley the person, were you the person that had to listen to the private conversations?
So, yeah, like basically everything on the call as they're making the claim,
we would listen to that and the consultant would put them on hold.
And then not often, but if they had someone with them,
they'd sort of, yes, they are just, you know, doing this
so I can get a new phone or whatever.
Mind-blowing.
Wow, and that's why everyone should know where that mute button is.
The mute button, yeah, yeah.
The mute button on your phone
It's really good if you need to go to the toilet
When you're talking to someone
They say, I'm going to put you on hold
You go, very good
I'm just going to put you on hold as well
Yeah, I'm going to put you on hold too
Brie, when it comes to travelling
Are you a fastidious travel insurance purchaser?
What does fastidious mean?
Like, do you buy travel insurance?
Regular, strict travel insurance purchaser?
I don't think I'm a strict one.
I definitely probably more so buy it than not.
Okay, so you'd usually get it.
Majority of the time.
Do you?
Oh my God, every time.
I'm terrified of travelling without insurance.
Oh, it depends where I'm going.
Okay.
And what I'm doing.
Okay, where are you going that you don't need insurance?
Like if I'm going on a ski trip, I'd definitely get it.
Because you'd break a leg?
Well, you could.
You might need a helicopter off the mountain.
But if I'm going to Fiji, like, for a relaxing resort holiday,
I'll think twice about it.
Mate, what if you step on a coral reef or something and get an infection
and wind up in a Fijian hospital?
Mate, I'm a pool girl.
I'm just going in the pool.
Right.
Well, this will scare you into getting insurance, I think.
Okay.
A New Zealander who almost died in the States has been stuck with a massive hospital bill.
So I'll give you the details first.
Her name is Amanda.
She experienced shortness of breath.
She had to go to hospital while she was in LA.
She was just visiting America
So she was holidaying
She was there for her cousin's wedding
Right
Okay
They diagnosed her with life-threatening pneumococcal pneumonia
Meningococcal?
No
Or pneumococcal
Pneumococcal
I've never even heard of that
Pneumococcal pneumonia
Pneumonia
She had pneumonia
She had life-threatening pneumonia
They put her on life support. She was in
an intensive care unit
after experiencing
hyper, oh I should not do medical stuff.
She had
respiratory failure, blood infections,
fluid was filling up her
lungs. Oh she was really sick.
She was rooted. She was in need
of proper medical care.
When she woke up and when she got better and she was ready to be released,
because you pay for everything in America,
she was handed a bill for $147,595 US dollars.
Which, quick translation, that's 230 grand, New Zealand.
That makes me feel so sick.
And that is, like, not uncommon. This. That makes me feel so sick. And that is like not uncommon.
This has happened to me.
This happened to you?
Well, not that exact story.
Nowhere near as bad.
But I lived in the States for a couple of years
and I dislocated my shoulder.
Right.
And needed to get an ambulance.
Okay.
So someone had called me an ambulance
and because they couldn't get my shoulder back in,
it was too badly dislocated. Yeah. The someone had called me an ambulance and because they couldn't get my shoulder back in, it was too badly dislocated.
Yeah.
The ambulance had to come and get me and then they took me to the hospital and they got
it back in.
Yeah.
And I think I, I can't even remember if I spent the night.
I don't think I did, but I was there for however long.
Yeah.
And they treated me.
Anyway, do you know how much the bill was?
How much?
With the ambulance.
So an ambulance and then a bit of a consult to get your shoulder back in.
And they put it back in.
Maybe some pain meds.
Some pain meds.
I don't know.
How much?
Six and a half grand.
And it's like, what were you going to do?
Because I didn't realise.
No, I don't have six and a half grand.
I'll just walk it off.
You can't.
I didn't realise at the time when someone's like, we need to call an ambulance.
If I had known that, I would have said, Cheryl,
take me to the bloody hospital in your
bloody pinto. Put me in the Honda Civic. Let's go.
Jeez.
But this person, Sarah,
was her name Sarah? Yeah, Sarah.
Amanda. Amanda.
Amanda.
It's a Monday. Amanda.
There's nothing she could do.
There's nothing she could do. She almost died.
She had to have this treatment.
It doesn't say anywhere in this article whether she had insurance or not.
But I feel like if she did, that's the sort of thing it covers.
Like when you get basic travel insurance,
did you know you're covered for like a million dollars?
Yeah.
Of whatever happens.
Like if you burn down part of your hotel or you end up in a coma,
you're covered.
There's money there to look after you.
But if you don't and this sort of thing happens to you,
imagine having to pay off 230 grand.
She's got to give a little page going at the moment.
That's raised 20 grand for her.
So she obviously didn't have insurance then.
She mustn't have.
Yeah, if she's, you know.
Yeah, she mustn't have.
It doesn't say anywhere, but that's horrific.
You know one place, this is Bree's life advice.
Yeah.
If you are travelling, this is where I always get insurance,
no matter what.
Yeah.
If you're travelling to Bali and you want to,
one day when you're there, you're like, let's hire a scooter.
It's a great idea.
Always get insurance.
Always get insurance.
Or don't ride the scooter.
But also, in saying that, I've been to Thailand
and when you go to rent the scooters,
they say to you, you know,
that your travel insurance doesn't cover you
if you come off a scooter
because too many people come off scooters.
Really?
Most travel insurance excludes the use of scooters.
Well, find the one that doesn't because...
Trust me.
That's the insurance we want.
I want to take some calls from people this afternoon
who have been stuck with a really big bill while they were overseas.
Could be for medical, could be for like car crash, could be for...
What about if you, you know, had a few lemonades on a night out
and you go, I'll treat the whole bar to a round of shots, boys.
Maybe you ordered a couple of bottles of vodka at a bar in Las Vegas.
You ate the bombs for everyone.
0800 dials at M where you can text them in to us on 9696.
We want to hear your really big bills
that you got while you were overseas.
By the way,
someone who works for an insurance company
text us because I was saying
that scooters aren't covered
in like Bali and Thailand on your insurance.
You can pay for special scooter cover
on your policy.
I was thinking that
because I definitely have been covered for it before.
They said it costs stuff all to add it all.
Just a little bit extra.
Just a little bit extra.
And trust me, that is the insurance you want
when you are travelling to those places.
Amy's here.
Hi, Amy.
Hi, Amy.
Hiya.
Did you get a big bill while you were overseas?
I did, actually.
Okay, where were you?
What happened?
So I was living in Shanghai at the time
and I had an asthma attack in my apartment,
which was on the 23rd floor.
Okay.
Ambulance to the hospital was like 300 bucks
and then by the time I got to the hospital,
because it's a pay-as-you-go system,
I think he ended up paying like $1,000 to get treated
before I was allowed to sort of leave the hospital.
I had to sort of pay up for it.
Oh, you have to pay before you leave the hospital?
Yes.
What are they going to do if you don't pay?
Just take the medicine back out of you?
Yes, you pay as you go.
Yeah, right.
That's terrifying, Amy, you poor thing.
I can't even imagine because it'd be so scary already
going through something like that in a country
where you don't speak the language.
I'm just picturing a nurse standing beside the bed with an Air Force machine.
Being like, no, well, we can't give you the drip.
We can, but you've got to pay first.
Tim's here.
Hi, Tim.
Hi, Tim.
Hey, how you doing?
Good, thanks, Tim.
Were you hit with a massive bill overseas?
Not me, but actually a close friend of mine is currently in a real situation in Canada.
Okay.
Why, what's going on?
Tell us about it.
So she headed over to Canada
and then her first week there
has had a huge climbing accident.
Oh no.
Okay.
And has had some pretty extensive injuries.
Yeah.
To the point where her foot's been amputated
and has a huge list
of broken bones.
I read this story, Tim.
Is this the Kiwi girl
and they said she's broken
nearly every bone in her body?
Yeah.
She's an absolute trooper.
Yeah, okay.
And a Dunner's legend.
A full surf girl.
She's an awesome,
awesome young lass.
But any donations
on her Diva Little page would be amazing
She does have insurance
but it didn't
because she's had so many operations
and things, it wasn't fully covered
Has she maxed out her insurance? That's how bad her injuries are
Yeah, so on her
Give A Little page it says
they're looking for around a million dollars
which is a lot of money, but that's what it's going to cost
Wait, it's going to,
whoa, jeez.
Okay, give us the name
and then we can plug it in to Give A Little
and look up the page, Tim.
Anna Parsons, is there a name?
Yeah.
Anna Parsons.
And any money we can raise for it would be amazing.
Good man, Tim, for getting the message out there.
Get on to Give A Little
and if you want to help out Amanda,
you can do that.
Ivy's here.
Hi, Ivy.
Hi, Ivy. Hi, how's it going? Okay, you got a big bill while you were to help out Amanda, you can do that. Ivy's here. Hi, Ivy. Hi, Ivy. Hi.
How's it going? You got a big
bill while you were in India. Is that right?
Yeah, well, I've got the opposite
actually. I
spent four days in hospital
in India with E. coli
and all the food,
like inpatient care,
my medicine and everything, and
it was only $99.
What?
Are you serious?
Wow.
Yeah, I was like, this is cheaper than staying in a hotel.
Ivy's like, I felt pretty good by day two,
but I just thought, you know, traveling is the budget.
Absolutely.
Travel hack, get some E. coli while you're in India.
Okay, thanks, Ivy.
One more from Maddie.
Hi, Maddie.
Hi there. Hi. What was your bigi while you're in India. Okay, thanks, Ivy. One more from Maddie. Hi, Maddie. Hi there.
Hi.
What was your big bill while you were overseas?
Similar to the last check,
I actually caught E. coli on my way over to Japan.
Okay.
And I ended up with a hundred grand hospital bill,
but luckily I'd got health insurance going over
because I was going over to snowboard.
A hundred, wait, Maddie,
how was it $100,000
and you had E. coli?
Because I ended
up heading over
and as
a child I used to get sick quite easily and so
my mum kept telling my uncle that I was fine
and he was like, no, she's not. She's fine.
And he had to take me to the local
GP and they tried
giving me medicine and I couldn't keep it down so then they had to take me to the local GP and they tried giving me medicine.
I couldn't keep it down.
Then they had to take me back.
Oh, my God.
Thank God you had the insurance.
That is some expensive diarrhea.
It was absolutely horrible.
Oh, you poor thing.
There you go, everybody.
Get your travel insurance before you go.
Yes.
And as we said.
It could save your life and your bank accounts.
Pay the extra for the scooter insurance.
Bree and Clint.
It's time for Birthday Banger.
It's my birthday.
It's my birthday.
Bree and Clint's Birthday Banger.
Speaking of cool songs, this is our opportunity to go off the playlist a little bit where
we take your birthdays and figure out what was the song top in the charts on your 16th
and then we'll play our favourite one.
Malcolm's here.
Kia ora, Malcolm.
G'day, Malcolm.
Hello, guys.
How are you going?
Good, mate.
How are you?
How was your weekend?
Yeah, not too shabby.
Bit of sun in Nelson for a change, so yeah, had a good weekend.
What do you mean for a change?
Isn't that the sunshine capital of New Zealand or is that Blenheim?
No, no, it's definitely Nelson.
Although every now and again we've got to have a little bit of rain.
Yeah, right.
Fair enough, Malcolm.
Hey, Malcolm, what's your birthday, mate?
27th of August, 74.
Is that next week, Malcolm?
It is.
Oh, happy birthday for next week.
You were 16 in 1990 and here's your birthday banger.
John Bon Jovi, Malcolm.
Always a good tune.
Yeah.
Not Clint's favourite.
I'm a Bon Jovi fan.
I don't know what it is.
I have an irrational hatred of Bon Jovi. I Jovi fan. I don't know what it is. I have an irrational hatred
of Bon Jovi. Yeah. I think it just
I don't know. Because I mean
it's a good song.
Yeah, it's a good song. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay.
Fiona's here. Hi, Fiona. G'day, Fee.
Hi, how's it going? Good, thank
you, mate. What did you get up to this weekend?
I was out at Castle Point
in the Wairarapa. Oh, yeah, nice.
And it was a good time? Yeah, the sun came out in the Wairarapa. Oh, yeah, nice. And it was a good time?
Yeah, the sun came out in the Wairarapa, actually.
Better than Nelson.
Suck on that, Nelson.
Wait, it's a fight over the sun now.
Hey, sounds pretty good.
Fee, what's your birthday, mate?
The 8th of June, 1998.
All right, that means you were 16 in 2014.
And let me take you back to your 16th birthday,
because this would have been number one.
Nico and Vince.
Do you remember this song, Fiona?
Yes, I do.
It's a good one, eh?
It's good.
It's not bad.
I really like that song.
I remember the 660 boys bought Nico and Vince out
for one of their first big kind of stadium tours around the country.
Right.
They were the supporting act.
Yeah, cool.
So they've been to New Zealand.
They've toured around.
It's a good one.
Let's do one more for Melissa.
Hi, Melissa.
G'day, Mel.
Hey, how are you?
Good, mate.
Can you beat it?
What did you get up to this weekend?
Nah, not as good.
It was just a barbecue with friends.
Oh, was the sun out?
Absolutely.
Well, hey, you can't complain about that, Mel.
Sounds pretty good.
No, definitely not.
It was actually a good weekend.
There you go.
Good to hear.
Hey, Melissa, what's your birthday?
20th of the 10th, 1978.
Right.
That means you were 16 in 1994.
And on the 20th of October in 94,
this was at the top.
Huge.
Boys to men, I'll make love to you, Melissa.
You a big fan, Mel?
Yeah, actually, I like that, but I also like Bon Jovi as well.
Yeah, okay, all right.
Some good ones today.
Well, I'm going to disappoint Melissa and Malcolm
and not vote for either of those songs.
I'm going to vote for Nico and Vince.
Yeah, I'm tossing up between, because, I mean, I love Boyz II Men.
That song's a bit slow for a mother.
Yeah, I agree, yeah.
So it's between Bon Jovi and Nico and Vince.
I'm going Bon Jovi.
So I'll just tell you before you go, Bon Jovi.
Malcolm's boosted. He's out of here.
He has not stuck around for the results.
Maybe he didn't know he had to.
But Fiona has stuck around in case
Nico and Vince lose. Okay, you know what?
I'm going to give my vote to
Fi. If she votes for her song,
we'll play that. If she wants Bon Jovi,
we'll go Bon Jovi
Fiona

ZM, Brie and Clint.
It's Nico and Vinz, the winner of Birthday Banger today,
taking down Boyz II Men and Bon Jovi.
Oh, how could you not love this?
I think I got burnt out on like
bad pub rock songs.
Why? In your DJing
days? No.
Play
Bon Jovi.
Well definitely that.
Yeah definitely that. But also just
like living in Christchurch
and going out. They love some Jon Bon Jovi
down there. And every bar just playing Bon Jovi
and then playing American Pie
and then playing
What's the other quintessential one?
Mr. Brightside.
Mr. Brightside.
Maybe you'll come back around to it. Maybe, yeah.
Maybe you'll come back around to it.
You never know.
This reminds me of like, okay, listen to this.
What TV show does this?
Breaking Bad.
Yes.
Yeah.
Sounds so similar.
It's a bit fine.
Hang on.
I think I've said this on the show before where I was like,
that sounds like the theme song to Breaking Bad.
Have we got it?
Yeah, here it is.
So similar. Jon Bon Jovi needs to sue the creators of Breaking Bad.
Nah, I wouldn't sue Heisenberg.
He's a bad man. So similar. That's outrageous. Nah, I wouldn't sue Heisenberg.
That's outrageous.
I'm about to tell you a story that's pretty unbelievable, if you ask me.
It's a medical marvel and it's a story about a woman from India who has given birth in the last couple of weeks.
I'm not too sure when.
Yeah.
But she is one of the oldest women ever to give birth.
Okay.
So I want to go around the room.
Producers, you can play.
And Clint, you can have a guess.
How old do we think?
Because obviously there's a natural limit to...
It was conceived through IVF.
Oh, okay. It was an through IVF. Oh, okay.
It was an IVF baby.
Right, okay.
But still, she has carried the baby.
Can you still carry a baby, and excuse my lack of knowledge,
can you still carry a baby after you've been through menopause?
No, I don't believe so.
You can't?
No.
You can't put a baby in the uterus?
I don't believe so.
Have you been through menopause?
I don't think so.
Right.
But actually, I don't know.
I'm pretty sure you can.
Does menopause just stop the egg production?
Yeah, because you're younger.
Oh, look, I'm way out of my depth here.
Anyway, anyway.
I will say the oldest woman to give birth is in her 50s.
That's what I feel is possible.
Actually, judging from this story,
I'm going to say you can carry a baby.
After menopause.
Yeah.
Right, so she's above menopause age.
I changed my guess.
I reckon she's in her 60s.
Okay, 60s.
I like in 60s.
Are you going to narrow that down?
She's between 60 and 65.
Producers?
I'm going to say 62.
62?
I'll go a hard 60.
Hard 60.
Okay.
Shandravati from India is 70 years old.
After a successful round of IVF.
No, thanks.
The new mum and her husband, which they have been married for 54 years.
Yeah.
He's 75, were finally gifted with a baby.
Yeah.
Is this their first child?
So it's actually a really sad story.
Well, it's happy, but it's sad.
There's a lot going on.
They started their journey to have a child back in 1968
is when they started trying over five decades ago.
And unfortunately, they were unsuccessful.
But she had a round of IVF last year,
and she has given birth to a healthy 7-pound, 7-ounce baby.
Unbelievable.
What a champion.
That is crazy.
Obviously there's lots of complications around that and age and things like that,
but fertility is such a complex conversation
and such a horrific journey for a lot of couples
so let's just leave them at that and say congratulations
congratulations
I'm going to go one better though
I'm not keen to become a new parent in my 70s but to them
congratulations
can you imagine but I
looked into this because I was like I wonder
what is you know the oldest
so back in 2019
another woman from India was know, the oldest. So back in 2019, another woman from India was named
as the oldest person in the world to give birth to twins.
Okay.
No.
And she was.
In India again.
In India again.
Yeah.
And she was 74.
Yeah, right.
Okay.
Isn't that crazy?
At 74, I just want to be like slowing down.
I want to sit on the couch and, you know, not have much to do.
But, hey, I mean, congratulations to them.
Yeah.
I mean, it just, I said unbelievable.
Yeah.
Pretty unbelievable story.
Congratulations to them, but no thanks.
No thanks.
No thanks.
Bree and Clint. Do you guys remember a story a few months ago now
about a couple from Ontario, Canada,
where they were worried that they potentially could be sisters?
Yeah, I do.
Remember this story?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It was massive.
They've got different mums, right?
Yeah, so this is the situation.
One of them's name's Carly and the other one is Mercedes.
They've been dating for about two years
and they both have never met their dads.
And when they started talking,
they're obviously from a similar area
and then turns out they found out that both of their mums
have slept with this same guy.
Who's not in the picture, eh?
Who's not in the picture.
Right.
Mystery dad.
So what it came down to is that they were like...
We look similar.
They look really similar.
And they were like,
there could be a chance that we could be half sisters.
Shocking.
Right?
It would be the worst thing to find out.
Well, fast forward because
they have taken a DNA
test. Good. And
we have the results. Okay.
Right? So
here are the girls. They've posted
this to their TikTok. This is them talking
about before they've seen the results.
Okay. So
Carly and I both
got an email this morning from 23andme saying that our results are in
we haven't opened them yet so that's what we're about to do ready no just quickly just sorry just
quickly sorry to be the millennial in the room yeah stop filming all of your important life
moments for tiktok some things can be done in private, you know?
Like, this is huge emotional trauma you're about to put yourself through
if you find out that you've been humping your sister
for the last 12 months.
You know?
Yeah.
Besides the embarrassment, but anyway.
Hey, they love to film stuff.
Yeah, I mean, glad they did.
I'm keen to hear the results.
They love to film it.
Who is keen to hear the results of the DNA test?
Me.
Me.
I want to hear it.
I feel like I'm on that show Maury Povich.
What's that?
Do you remember that show?
Yeah.
Where they get couples and the woman would usually be like,
he's definitely the dad.
You need to DNA test him.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And they'd be like, in the case of Meryl and Gary,
he is not the father.
Do you remember that? Yes, I know what you're talking about now. Yeah. All right, but let's go is not the father. Do you remember those?
Yes, I know what you're talking about now.
All right, but let's go back to the sisters.
Here are the girls.
Like Jerry Springer.
Yeah, yeah, very similar.
Carly and Mercedes are finally finding out
if they are actually half sisters.
No relatives found.
Zero. Zero.
Zero.
They're not sisters.
They're not sisters.
I mean, great result.
Thank God for that.
Thank God.
Because who knows what the next TikTok after that was
if they were sisters.
Like, hey guys, we've got big news.
We're not breaking up!
I love my sister!
