Nah, that's more of an endorsement. I'd buy jerky if he endorsed it. And I don't mean me, the current but not for long voice of Subway Sandwiches. No, I mean this person right here.

Because she was a professional voiceover artist too She's a lot better than me no I thought you were talking about those other things Bree taught me what did she teach you that's a whole thing

is that like a Yeezy taught me situation that's not we don't even talk about that is that tying the cherry stem with

your tongue thing can you do that once you no I can't no but I'm troubled by the fact that I know you can

I don't have many talents but I'm troubled by the fact that I know you can. I don't have many talents. Dimo, come on. Pick up yourself. We were just getting a demo off there of your professional voiceover skills. I used to do a little bit of what would be called emergency voiceover where they literally had no other options. I'd just do a bit of Nova. Wow.

Nova. That's another radio station, eh? It's pretty damn good. Pretty damn spot on. Can I get one more? I just do a bit of Nova Wow Nova That's another radio station It's pretty damn good Pretty damn spot on Can I get one more Can I get one more I'm going to close my eyes Nova

Spit nasally I think it's meant to be No but that's what Yeah Oh is it Sounds like right It's more of a noser to me It's meant to be sultry

So the read was sultry But confident I think that's what the read was sultry but confident. I think that's what the read was. That's what Anastasia was doing. Is that the same instruction you were given? No, no. Are we dating the same voiceover artist guy? I'm being fully serious.

Are we? Are we? Is he cheating on me with you? Yeah. Yeah? No, you're being fully serious. What were you going to say? No, he, every day after a survey party or radio awards,

when I'm hungover, he gets me to come in and I've got to let my voice... No, this is a joke. Intentionally. He wants your hungover voice. He only ever gets me the night after a work party. Right. Maybe that's just, you know... I think it's because I need to, you know, if I've...

But not anymore. But if I had hypothetically hit the vape, my voice might be a little bit huskier. But that's on the hypotheticals. Yeah, right, right. Hey. Hit music, play ZM. Shit, it's not her. That was good, though.

That's Sarah. That's Sarah Corsi. Have you heard the one by Sarah Corsi? She's like, Zara. No, maybe it's this one. Hit music, play ZM. No, that's Anastasia. No. Where's this one Hit music Play ZM Nah that's Anastasia No

Where's the one Where she's like Sarah calls in She's like Hit music Play ZM Shit Anastasia's everywhere The guy who records you in

If he's getting you in When you're hungover Yeah Coincidentally That's okay When he starts Getting you hung over, just for the benefit of his voiceover sessions,

that's when it's not okay. That's the line. You charge more for those sessions. This is actually my next question, Bree. Did you used to get paid back in the day? Absolutely not, Anastasia. Well, us rich, famous voice artists. Are you getting paid for that shit? No, of course not. Mate, I didn't

get paid the first four years I worked in radio. He actually just pays me in vape pods. Oh, that's a good payment. There's French benefit tax on those. Did you guys see that new rule that they brought in last week? It was last week. About vaping? About vape pods.

Please don't tell me they're getting rid of the flavours. Are you being, Because that's what happened Anastasia No So just to stop kids Or to encourage kids Teenagers to get off the vapes They took away all the flavours

So I think the only ones You can still get are menthol No Well if they do that they should have to get rid of flavoured cigarettes too Is there flavoured cigarettes? Is there? Like menthol Yeah that's a flavour

No but see they left those in the vape pods Why does menthol get to survive? Dammit if only they'd brought out a strawberry Passion fruit cigarette earlier Yeah it's tobacco, mint and menthol get to survive? Dammit, if only they'd brought out a strawberry passion fruit cigarette earlier. What's that? Yeah, it's tobacco, mint and menthol. Yeah, tobacco. That's what, yeah.

So they're allowed to sell, the specialist ones are allowed to sell them from. Good. That officially ends on my birthday. Time to stock up. When's your birthday? Hypothetically. Nah, I don't know. 28th of November.

Nah, it's actually the 27th. Wait, so you said, so the specialist vape stores are allowed to sell them still, but the... The dearies and stuff they had to, from last week. Oh, buzzy. So you've got to go into a dealer now. I was going to say, you have to go stock up and buy a bunch. No, you just buy the normal one.

Hey, man, have you got any mango passion fruit? Seriously, I need a fucking hat. Seriously. Because you know, in Australia, you cannot buy nicotine vaping pods. Really?

Or vaping juice. Didn't I tell you that? No. Yeah, you can't buy any... What's the point? You can't... Yeah, that's what I mean. So in Australia...

What are you vaping for over there then? Just the cool vibes. Maybe just like the routine of if you're trying to get off cigarettes. No, that's not going to fall. Is it the tobacco or is it the actual vaping? I know the tobacco is bad for you, obviously. But you know how they always talk about how they're bad for you?

Let's be real. At the end of the day, they don't know how bad vaping is for you right now. It's the same with cigarettes. They didn't know until like 40 years later how bad vaping is for you right now. It's the same with cigarettes. They didn't know until like 40 years later how bad it was because there wasn't enough data on it. I feel like they knew. Oh, well, they probably did.

It's the same with vaping. They don't say, oh, this is fine. This is good for you. It's fine. But you know what I mean? They won't have actual... I've got more lung capacity. Would this be a bad time to start introducing my next brand endorsement, my next voice job? What is it?

Here's a question. Wait, she's going to tell us what the job is. What is it? Alt vape pods. Now only available in three boring flavours. More sultry, more sultry. You sounded more like monster energy. Damn it.

Oh, damn it. No job. Come on, hit us with more sultry, more sultry. You sounded more like monster energy. Damn it. No job. Come on, hit us with more sultry. Alt vape pods. Now available. No, wait, that's too excited. Sorry, we're going to bring in our next auditionee. Brie, welcome. Alt vape pods.

No one will hire me here because of my accent. Hey, Google. What's the time? It's 3pm. Give or take a minute. Alexa, play ZM on iHeartRadio. Playing ZM on iHeartRadio. Hey Siri, when are Brie and Clint on?

Brie and Clint are on air in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Kia ora everybody. Welcome to the show. Brie and Clint, we're just talking chiropractors. Our boss, Ross Boss, came in here and just said that he takes a TikTok video to his chiropractor and says, hey, can you give this a go? I feel like that's the same as taking a picture to the hairdresser and saying, can you give me this fringe? Is it the same as taking a boob job to a cosmetic surgeon and going, can I have these?

I think it's the same. Is it? If you're like, I want this adjustment. And then obviously the chiropractor can tell you if it's right for you or not. But the only good chiropractor videos on TikTok are real wild. Hectic ones. Yeah, that's the only content that gets any attention. So the chiropractor's going to be like, well, I can do that too if you want.

It's quite invasive. It looks quite risky. The one that Ross showed us, he basically pulled the guy's head off. Yeah, it's pretty full on. I was just asking Ross if he's ever had, because I've been to a chiropractor a lot of the time in my life, and I once had, I've had a few chiropractors stick their fingers in the roof of my mouth.

Oh, you pay extra for that, eh? Well, I don't know, but they have gloves on, obviously, and they do this weird adjustment where they push their fingers up to the roof of your mouth. Text us on 9696. Were they having me on? Was that a chiropractor or? I think it was a chiropractor. Did he buy you dinner first or?

No, it was a woman. No, one was a woman, one was a man. Was that the first session or? No, it was a couple of sessions. Yeah, right. Has anyone else had that adjustment? You want an internal oral adjustment chiropractor story? I think it's for like your jaw. Yeah, right. It's like adjusting your jaw, which in turn helps your neck or something. I think it's for like your jaw. Yeah, right.

It's like adjusting your jaw, which in turn helps your neck or something. I don't know. Was it good? Yeah, it felt all right. Some of them were really good, eh? It was really awkward the second time, though, because I had a piece of chewing gum in my mouth. And then before I could take the chewing gum out,

the fingers were in my mouth and it got stuck to the glove of the chiropractor. It was very awkward. You definitely pay extra for that. Today on the show, Free Guy. We're giving you a free ride at five o'clock thanks to Free Guy. We'll pay your bills. I have heard a rumour.

We don't get to see the numbers, but I've heard a rumour. Pretty decent budget today. Yeah, we've been told go big because you won't go home. Bring us your car service bills today. Bring us your new tyre bills. How much are new tyres these days?

1,200? Depends what sort of tyres you're running. Are you talking about a Ford Ranger or a Suzuki Swift? I mean, depends. You can get off-road for a Suzuki Swift. I do. We're going to start the show with 50 bucks cash thanks to KFC with Tradiverse Lady, though.

All right, call us now. 0800 DIAL ZM and you can go head to head versus someone else. We'll play after the weekend in Ariana Grande. ZM. Could this be the day that the Tradies tie it all up? They're one win away from tying it up with the ladies. They've been behind for ages. Like the ladies just kept getting further and further and further out in front. And now we're at a 64-65 ball game.

Yeah, it's very close. Who's competing today? Because there's quite a lot of pressure on both parties. Let's meet our lady first. She's from Wellington. She's 40. And she has been a teacher since she was 16 years old. Damn. Welcome to meet our lady first. She's from Wellington. She's 40 and she has been a teacher since she was 16 years old.

Welcome to the show, Amanda. Hi, Amanda. Hi. Is it hard to get kids to take you serious as a 16-year-old teacher? They're like, oh, you're the same age as us. I've been teaching for 16 years. 16 years. Yeah.

The sentence was not completed in the bio, and that makes a lot more sense. Make a whole lot more sense, or else Amanda would have had to be going to uni when she was like 12. We don't know. She could be like a doogie-houser of teaching. We don't know. Amazing, Amanda.

You're like the youngest teacher ever. Okay, you're taking on our tradie today. He is 35. He's from Tauranga, and he lays 300 bricks a day. Welcome to the show, Mahana. G'day, Mahana. Hello, how you going? Good, mate.

Well done. $50 coming your way. Close, though. I feel like both were in it, but Amanda comes out with the win. Yes, good game. Bree and Clint. Something else I want to talk about over the weekend is my dog, who's one, she's 12 months old.

Her name's Whitney Houston, and she wronged me on the weekend. Did she? Yep. That sounds like she violated you. Yeah, she didn't treat me very nicely over the weekend and she was very naughty. And you know how you can tell when she's naughty? How? It's when she's real quiet.

Oh, because they know, eh? And other dog owners will know this. And dogs go real quiet and they'll go off to a corner and if they've got something that they shouldn't, you can't hear them and that's when you go, what are they doing? Yeah, right. Because they're obviously

doing something wrong. I got cats, not the case. Cats just do what they want. They don't give a crap what you say. One of my cats took a dump in the pot plant last night and then we're still sitting outside the bedroom door waiting for food this morning. They don't care. In fairness, fertiliser. But also

very, very fragrant. Also, it was a fake plant because that didn't help. Anyway, so I've walked up the hallway and look, I'd had a few drinks the night before so I wasn't feeling my best and it wasn't my best time and I've looked into the room and she's got something in her mouth and I was like, oh, here we go. She's taken something but what is it? Like for one, I don't want it to be anything that's going to is it? For one, I don't want it to be anything that's

going to hurt her, and then two, I don't want it to be anything expensive. And as I've pried her mouth open, I've realised What have you got? She has gotten my makeup brush. Oh my god, we just talked about this makeup brush.

This is horrific. Can I see? Do you want to touch it? It's pretty gross. It is pretty gross. I think this was gross before Whitney got at it. Yeah, yeah. Your dog might have my back here because last week I said to you, put this in the dishwasher and see how it comes up because this is gross by the way. It's so gross. This has never been washed

and I said put it in the dishwasher. If it gets ruined I'll buy you another one before I realised these were like 130 bucks and Whitney's gone, nah bro, I'll sort you out. I've got your back. Yeah, and just eaten it. This is the thing, though. Do you reckon we should still put it in the dishwasher just to see?

I don't. The deal's off, by the way. No, you said if we put that in the dishwasher. Here's the thing about it. If you were still using it when it looked like this before the dog ate it. That's not a good time, eh? I don't reckon you're going to stop using it now that the dog's chewed it. No, I actually, you know what's so weird is I actually,

I went and bought a new one, forced myself. And then she. She didn't chew the new one, did she? She didn't stop there because. Oh, she chewed the pencil too. No, that's another brush she's got her hands on. Right. And that one was fine.

That's a brush I still use. This one was on its way out. This is the thing about being a parent. She's shown you what she's interested in. She wants to be a makeup artist. So you need to nurture her and you need to lean into her passion. You need to now buy her makeup

brushes, which is going to really hurt because you haven't bought yourself makeup brushes in like a decade. Do I give this to her? Do I let her play with this now? Because I mean, she's already. What do you reckon the hair's made out of? Is that fine horse hair? Yeah, I don't. Or is it a synthetic?

There's a lot of skin in here. Probably why she liked it. Yeah. Probably reeks of you. Yeah, probably just still. It smells like makeup. But anyway, so there's two makeup brushes that have bit the dust over the weekend. Yeah.

How did she get your makeup brushes? They should be up on the counter. Yeah, so they usually are. But obviously, you know, hung over me. Just do your makeup on the floor. Was doing my makeup on the floor. And she took full advantage. Yeah, right.

I wanted to ask people this afternoon, because I feel like every dog owner's probably been through this. Yeah. What did your dog chew up and ruin? Yeah. What did they get their hands on? Yeah, yeah, yeah. There's going to be a lot of Xbox controllers.

Their paws on. Or their teeth on. Or their teeth on. Going to be a lot of expensive smart TV remotes. I feel like jewellery. They love jewellery. Anything stored waist height and below is dog territory. Shoes.

Yeah. Expensive shoes. Expensive shoes. Yeah. What did they get into? Boys, they chew your town shoes. Oh, no. Not the town shoes.

Or maybe, you know, expensive adult equipment. All right, Wads. Yep. All right. Yep. 0800 dial ZM or you can text us on 9696. What did the dog chew up? Bree and Clint. All these texts. There's so many. Right, Wads. Yep, all right, yep. 0800 DIALZM or you can text us on 9696. What did the dog chew up?

Bree and Clint. All these texts, there's so many. They're making me feel better about my dog chewing up two of my expensive makeup brushes. One of them was on the way out, so she did me a favour. On the way out. I mean, yeah, I had a few months left in it. One of them had seen Better days pre-pandemic. Nothing wrong with this one.

And was still in action. Anyway, my dog Whitney Houston absolutely destroyed them. She got good contouring on her own face, though. Did she? That's what matters. Yeah, yeah. She looked amazing after it. Right.

And I said, maybe let's just think about getting your own makeup set for you. It's really hard to tell a dog when they've got cake face, eh? Because you don't want to hurt their feelings. I know. And sometimes, you know. Be like, babe, a bit much. I was like, you're just going a bit too, you know set for you. It's really hard to tell a dog when they've got cake face, eh? Because you don't want to hurt their feelings. I know. And sometimes, you know. Be like, babe, a bit much. I was like, you're just going a bit too, you know. Babe, babe, babe, less is more.

Less is more. You're beautiful. You're young. You don't need it. You don't need all that. You don't need all that. We're asking you this afternoon on 0800-DIALS-NM. What did your dog chew up?

Emma's here. Hi, Emma. Hi, Emma. Hi. What sort of dog, first of all? Yeah, what dog? Okay, so she's a golden retriever across all the collies. So, a little gut. Oh, Emma. Hi, Emma. Hi. What sort of dog, first of all? Yeah, what dog? Okay, so she's a golden retriever across all the collies, so a little gut.

Oh, yeah. That'd be really energetic. And what are we talking? What'd they chew up? So brought a brand-new burra. It was like $120. It's going to be my new fave. It was gorgeous, beautiful.

And I wore it once, and she ripped it to shreds. And I walked in and she had the big puppy eyes on like, oh, you're going to be so angry. They know, don't they? They know so bad. Is the big puppy eyes, I don't know bras, is that part of the bra? Does she have the big puppy eyes? Is that part of it?

It's the padding. Is that what it is? Yeah, right. It wasn't your fault. Had that what it is? Who knows? Had you bought her her own supportive bra? No, I didn't. She was so young. She shouldn't need a bra yet. It's like the make-up situation all over again.

You don't need it yet. Thanks, Emma. Let's talk to Sharon. Sharon, what's the dog? What breed? A Staffie. Staffies love to get into a few different things, don't they? They sure do. And what did the staffie get into, Sharon? My father-in-law's dentures. Yeah, right. Now, was there

a super cute moment where the dentures were in the dog's mouth and it kind of looked like the dog had human teeth for a bit? It actually did. Yeah. That was in his mouth and I opened up and went, oh no,

who's are these teeth in this dog's mouth? Who's are these teeth? Because they're definitely not your dog teeth. They look like human teeth. No, definitely not my dog's teeth.

I think Brie wants to know the same thing as me. Did you tell the father-in-law that the dentures had been in the dog's mouth? Just put it back together. I did because the dog was beside him while he was chewing them. Yeah, right. So did he ruin them?

Oh, completely. In about 50 pieces. And we just literally sat there and laughed. And he was like, now what do I do? And I went, best you're in the insurance company. And they paid for new ones. Yeah, there we go. Yay, and everyone wins.

Be honest though, Sharon. No, like, the dog ate my homework. The dog ate my teeth. Yeah. Your father-in-law was more like, now what am I supposed to do? I was going to say, except your father-in-law was without teeth for about two months. Sarah. Hi, Sarah.

Hi, Sarah. Hey, how's it going? Good, thanks. First, what kind of dog and what's its name? Okay, so we had a Bullmaster, so 55 kgs of, you know, cuddles. Cuddles, yeah. And my sister's dog as well, actually, who they were best mates, and my sister's dog was an Alsatian.

And, yeah, best mates, and got into mischief together. Okay. And what did they chew up? Pretty much the house. We came home, we'd been out one night and came home a little bit socially excited after a few brown fizzies. Yep. And our dog greeted us at the door and they were super happy with themselves.

This is the, yeah. Oh no. Both of them were very, very happy. And we thought, oh, okay, we'll go and carry on walking the house. And we thought we'd been burgled. Oh, that bad. And ransacked the place. They had ransacked the place.

They had once again chewed up bras, chewed up, destroyed a CD, the old CD rack back in the days where you had your 101 CDs stacked up, destroyed that, got into everything that they could. There's stuff pulled out of drawers. Yeah, you'd been fully done over. Yeah. Fully done over. You were having a night out, the dogs were having a night in.

They can sense, that's the problem. They can tell when you're having fun and they're not invited. And so there's like a sixth sense. They go, oh, okay, oh, you're having fun, are you? You're having fun. How about you come home to some there's like a sixth sense. They go, oh, do you have fun? Are you having fun? How about you come home to some fun as well? A few people have texted through. Someone said, our puppy chewed up a whole month's packet of contraceptive pills.

That's not ideal. But at least you'd know that they'd be safe for the next couple of months. They wouldn't get pregnant at the dog park. Someone else said, our dog chewed up the cord of my brand new GHD and my partner's shoes in one night over $1,000 worth of products and expensive trip to the vet later. Dog's got good taste. Got great taste. Finally, oh, Kat. How ironic.

Kat, what did your dog chew up? Hey, so real funny story. I'm a teacher and my dog, while I was in the bathroom, chewed up one of my students' mask. No, no it didn't. That didn't actually happen. Very awkward. You cannot be a woman called Kat calling us to say that the dog ate the homework, okay?

What do we look like? What do we look like? Chumps? Kat, are you taking the piss out of us? Come on, come on. Are you taking the piss? My dog nixed the chewed up mad cat on the floor. She was so happy and the cat, it was so awkward going back to school and telling my student what had happened. Did they believe you, cat?

Well, I had the photo to prove it and I scooped up the remains of the cat and showed her. Yeah, but you know, a cat would say that, wouldn't they? Yeah, you never know. Bree and Clint. Time for the latest. From iHeartRadio, this is The Latest. Live from LA with Dean McCarthy.

Dean, this story is making headlines around the world today and it's about why Cameron Diaz quit acting in her early 40s. Yes, you know, you remember her. Of course, she was one of the most bankable stars in Hollywood. She'd just done something about Mary. She was in so many huge films, and she was, like, so hot right now. Well, she quit acting, and she shared all with Kevin Hart, actually, his new talk show called Heart to Heart.

I know, brilliant, right? Yeah. Well, she actually said this. She said that basically she wanted to end on a note because she wanted to be able to manage her own day by herself. Because when you're that big of a star, you've got so many people in all of your areas of your life. And there were parts of her life where she said they would get palmed off to a group of people. She literally didn't even feel in control of her own life. Here's a little segment. Here's a snapshot of their conversation on Heart to Heart. When you do something at a really high level for a long period of time,

everything around you that isn't that has to be sort of handed off to other people. I was realizing that it's kind of like that one part of me that functioned at a high level wasn't enough. It's fun to do. I love it. And I just realized that I looked around and it was just like so many parts of my life that I didn't have, I wasn't touching and that I wasn't managing

and I couldn't really manage it because it was so big. Everything was so massive. She's so right. She would have been so big that she couldn't go and get a haircut without it going through a team of people because if she changed her look too much. We'd have to be checked off by six or seven different people. She couldn't even do

her own gardening because she would have been too busy. She couldn't go to the supermarket because she was too famous too busy. I totally respect her in like making that decision where she got to a point in her career and her life where she was like I love this. I really love acting but I also

want to live like my life. My own life and not have every single part organised for me. I'm keen for a new Cameron Diaz movie, though. If this is promo for a big comeback, that'd be great. If she can do one movie every five years, I'd be stoked with it. Yeah, can you make that happen, Dean? That'd be really helpful.

Yeah, I know. It was really interesting because it was in 2014 when she quit acting, but the next year is when she met Benji Madden, and then a couple of years later they had their first child. She actually said she didn't even have the space for that part of her life. You know what I mean? Like her life was crazy.

She's married. She's got a life. Amazing. That's the latest. Live out of Los Angeles with our Hollywood correspondent, Dean McCarthy. Thanks to Liquid Self-Service Lounge Mats, you can wash and dry duvets from under $8 in an hour. Bree and Clint. There's a mum that's got the world divided today

after she was talking about her seven-year-old and what jobs and chores she makes her seven-year-old do around the house. Oh, yeah. To earn money to pay rent. Well, property prices are, you know. You know, times are tough. Times are tough. Times are tough. around the house to earn money to pay rent. Wow, property prices are, you know. You know, times are tough. Times are tough.

Times are tough. Put the seven-year-old to work. Here's the clip of the mum. Because what's he going to do? He's not going to move out and get his own place, is he? Well, you never know. You've got him trapped. He could fly the coop, if that's a saying.

Here's the mum explaining exactly what the rules are. Every week, my daughter has a list of chores. If those chores were completed daily, she will get $7 at the end of the week. She is then required to pay her bills for living in the house. A dollar for food, water, electric, internet, and rent. So in total, she pays $5 for bills. $2 left over, which she can keep and save or spend. I then take that $5 and I put it into a savings for her

so that when she turns 18, she can learn that she made all that money on her own. Great scheme. What a great scheme. Because you can pay the kid whatever you want hypothetically and then just take it all back off them and rent. The first thing I thought was, God, what a good deal the kid's got.

Oh, yeah. Show me the place where I'm paying a dollar for electrical, water. That's what I mean. You might as well make them real world prices though and you may as well pay the kid 250 bucks a week

and then charge the kid 225 in rent. Yeah, but is she worth that? Is she worth that amount? I mean, how good's the job she's doing? I've got a couple of kids now

they're not chores age but I've always thought that giving them chores to do would be more of a pain in the ass than it's worth. Who said they're not chores age? You I've always thought that giving them chores to do would be more of a pain in the ass than it's worth. Who said they're not chores age? You can start them as early as you want. But can you imagine if you get your kid to, you're like, okay, your job is wash the windows.

I reckon the windows would look worse than before the kid washed them. Yeah, 100%. I get it. That's not the point. You're trying to teach them work ethic and stuff. But I'm going to have to go out and wash those windows. Yeah, but what if you just put your baby Maggie, put her in a Swiffer uniform,

and then she can just do her work as she crawls around? Yeah, well, she's not crawling. She's rolling, though. We could put like a dust pad on her. Yeah, it'd be great. What do you think? Yes or no? Because people are divided.

To what? Making the kid pay rent. Making the kid, you know, obviously there's like, you know, a point behind it. Yeah, I think it's a valuable lesson you're Making the kid, you know, obviously there's like, you know, a point behind it. Yeah. I think it's a valuable lesson you're teaching the kid, but you also have to be the debt collector. So if the kid decides not to pay up, which I would do

if I was the kid, I'd go, ah, screw it. I'm going to default on my rent this week. Because what are you going to do? You know, you're going to have to go around there and like cut the head off one of their titties or stab their toyies or stab their toy unicorn or something and go you pay me what you owe me

kids. The kid's like I don't have enough money this week mum and she's like well off you go you're going to have to get a loan at the bank. Go on. This is an interesting one a girl has posted about her engagement ring that she hasn't received yet and wants to know if it's okay that she kind of hates it.

How does she know? How has she seen this? I'll read you this post that she's put up anonymously on Reddit and it explains how, but then we can discuss like, is it a natural thing, okay? Or is it ungrateful? She kind of feels ungrateful but is not denying the feelings. Let me just give you the details.

She starts with, and this is a good place to start, I love my boyfriend very much. It's a good place to start. Here we go. Now, this is a compliment sandwich. He has been dropping a lot of hints that he plans on proposing within the next few months. So, you know, you can kind of expect it.

Well, she doesn't know. We had already been looking at rings, and I have a very specific type of ring that I like, okay? She doesn't say whether she's been vocal about that type of ring. Right. She just says that they've been looking at rings. She knows what she wants. Well, you'd think she would have been then.

Should have been. Yeah. Should have been. I know he's going to propose because he showed the ring that he has purchased to my sister. She told me that she... No, she didn't. Oh, bad sister.

No, for a reason. She told me that she didn't want to ruin the surprise, but she doesn't think that I'll like the ring. Not a good reason to tell her. Really? Nah. She thinks she's looking out for her sister's best interests. No, well, you can tell her,

well, shit, they can deal with that afterwards. But now she's ruined the surprise of him getting like, you know, doing the whole big thing and getting on one knee. I think she's less concerned about the surprise, more concerned about the ring. She said, I only wear yellow gold jewellery. I've never

worn anything else. I have a few gold necklaces. I never take them off. All of my piercings and earrings are also yellow gold. Which, if you're listening, boys, this is a good rumour to do. Look at the type of jewellery that they already wear. That's a pretty big mistake. I mean, if you're going to get one thing right,

just look at the colour of the jewellery that they already have. Yeah, so she only wears yellow gold. He purchased a white gold ring. I feel horrible. I know, still beautiful, still lucky. She only wears yellow gold. He purchased a white gold ring. I feel horrible. No, still beautiful, still lucky. She said, I feel horrible and spoiled for being as upset as I am. I don't think I should tell him before the proposal because I think he's nervous about it and I don't want to upset him.

But how should I approach the subject? I don't want to hurt his feelings. I'm mad at the sister. I'm just going to put it out there. I'm mad at the sister. She's done the wrong thing and I'll tell you why. Why take that moment away from him and from her? Who gives a crap about the ring at the end of the day?

It's a stupid materialistic thing. You've taken away that special moment that hopefully you only do once. For what? Also, he trusted you. A materialistic ring. You know what you should have done? Yeah. You, the sister, should have stepped up to the brother and said,

hey, I don't think she's going to like that. Oh, my God, that's such a better outcome. I'd never consider that. Idiots. Yeah. Why wouldn't she just do that? If your sister's really got your back. Because obviously she knows you're not going to like it

because she showed it to you. Yeah, yeah. She should have sorted it out. Why didn't you just say that to the guy? Yep. Back to the girl, the proposee for a second. Definitely don't hit him up before the proposal. Don't, because she's saying,

I don't think I should bring it up. What a mess. Don't go to him and go, hey, I know you're going to propose to me. I've heard you got me a shit ring. Don't, don't do that. It's not going to work. So what I've heard you got me a shit ring. Don't do that. It's not going to work.

So what was the sister? What has the sister achieved? I'm so mad at the sister. If my sister's listening right now, Amber, if you ever do that to me, I will come to your house and I will put your washing on a cold wash and then I'll put it straight in the dryer so they all shrink. That's how angry I'll be. This is good though.

Let's put you in the situation for a second though. You're about to be proposed to. You're going to receive the ring. You've received the ring. Are you allowed to not like the ring? You deal with that later. Yeah, but if you don't like it, is it okay to say, I love you, I love the proposal.

I have to wear this ring for the rest of my life. I think if you've got a strong relationship where you can be honest with each other, I think that's okay. Yeah. But not in that moment, not before that moment. No. And it's a later down the track thing, you know. Let's take some calls this afternoon from people

who were in this situation, not with the sister, in the situation where they didn't like the ring. This could have been you didn't know that you were getting engaged. Yeah. But when you did, you didn't like it. Yeah, whatever the outcome was, you got proposed to and the ring was not your cup of tea. How did you deal with it?

Did you not like the ring? Unless it's a family heirloom, I think it's okay to be like, look, it's just not me. Love you. You don't have to say, I hate the ring. It's not really something I would wear. Don't throw it back in their face. No.

Well, how do you deal with that? 0800 dial ZM. Or you can text us on 9696. Did you not like the ring? That's what we want to know about this afternoon. Not necessarily selfish. It's fine. Just tell us about it.

Her sister has given her the heads up on what the ring looks like because the fiancé trusted the sister and she's gone straight and spilled the Her sister has given her the heads up on what the ring looks like because the fiance trusted the sister and she's gone straight and spilled the beans.

Still angry at the sister. So we're trying to figure out, is it okay to not like your engagement ring? I think it is. I think you've got to be honest about it because you've got to wear that thing for the rest of your life. Yeah, look, I think there's so much pressure that goes into, you know, buying an engagement ring.

But I feel like if you just kind of take that pressure off and it's more a symbol and then you can choose something together afterwards, it's fine. Yeah. Get through the gesture first. Get through the... Yeah. Like I'd like to be proposed to with like, you know,

a bubblegum ball ring. Burger ring. Yeah. And then you can go choose something and it doesn't even have to be a ring. It can be something like that you guys pick together or whatever. Like maybe like, you know, a souped-up Commodore. Yeah, a khaki.

Yeah. You know, a souped-up Commodore to, you know, signify your love. Let's talk to some people who can admit that they didn't like the ring when they got proposed to. Amy's here. Hi, Amy. Hi, Amy. Hey there.

Hi. Was it you didn't like the ring? Yeah, yeah. I don't know what happened. Yeah. How did the conversation go? Well, I mean, she'd done really well. My partner proposed and it was up in the chopper

and it was really amazing and she'd been trying to find out some information about the ring or about what kind of ring I might like and it was kind of a little silly. But you're a closed book and you didn't let any information out? No, I did. I was like, okay, I see what's going on here.

I'll drop some things. I say, you know, I don't wear a lot of jewellery. Something really simple. I definitely don't want a coloured stone. You know, if it's got a diamond or something, just low key. Amy's like, I love jet skis. Also that, yes. Or a dog.

Or a dog. Yeah, right. Okay, so you get given a ring that you don't like by your partner. Was she okay about it when you said, hey, I don't like this ring, I want to change it? Or are you just wearing it? Are you just suffering the ring? Yeah, no, it was really funny.

I got the ring, she posed with it, and it had this bright blue stone in it. It was just not the kind of thing that I would normally wear. And so I didn't say anything at first, you know, enjoy the moment, that kind of thing. Good, good idea. And then afterwards, I did spend a couple of days with family and stuff. We're around as well.

We're on holiday with them. For a couple of days, I was like, it's a little bit big and I don't want to wear it because then it'll fall off. Oh, no, Amy. So she picked up on the hint eventually. Is that what you're saying? No. But she was like, okay, we'll get it resized.

That's cool. And I was like, yeah, yeah. And then I was like, actually, I don't think it's me. But what's really cute is, so we were like looking at other ring options and we got a bunch of like $3 ones off AliExpress so we could try them on and see how they looked on our hands type thing.

That's a good idea. And now we both still wear $3 ones from AliExpress. Oh my God. Yeah. That's cool. And the jet ski fund is that much bigger for it. Yeah, and you've got the jet ski. You've got the Yamaha jet ski.

This person wants to remain anonymous. They've got a cool take on it. So, Anonymous, what did you do when you didn't like the ring? I melted it down. Anonymous, was this a conversation you had with your partner before the melting process happened? Yeah, I mean, he was 21 and I was 20, and it was just kind of like he was being more romantic and things,

but it just wasn't my cup of tea. So I just said, why don't we melt it down? And add a bit more gold and like five more diamonds. Well, yeah. I mean, we've been married for 25 years and I still wear it. It's still the melted down version. It's just, yeah. Okay.

Nothing was that bad. And he was fine about it? Oh, he had to be. Yeah. That's good. Someone on the text machine, there's quite a few, well, there's a few different people who are saying that this girl who doesn't like the ring,

and should she tell her fiancé, they're saying that she's an ungrateful a-hole. Yeah, there's a bit of that going around. Someone says, be thankful someone proposed, let alone bought a ring. Materialistic marriage probably won't last anyway. Yeah, there's a little bit of that sentiment. I think she's just trying to be honest.

Because if you don't like something, you don't like it. And if it doesn't suit you, it doesn't suit you. Well, I mean, it's like you know, if you went to the hairdressers and you just kind of went, surprise me. And then they kind of did whatever. Surprise me with a haircut that I'm going to have on my head for the rest of my life.

It's a very hard job, can I say, buying the ring. Oh, there's so many variables. And not knowing. Yeah. One creative solution, we'll just end on this. Someone said that they accidentally lost their ring. Oh, there's so many variables. And not knowing. Yeah. One creative solution will just end on this. Someone said that they accidentally lost their ring in quotation marks, which meant that they could go out

and buy a new one, which just so happened to be the ring they wanted all along. What a coincidence. What are the chances of that, eh? What are the chances? And you just, what? You managed to make sure

it was nominated on your insurance beforehand? Wow. Crazy, man. Who's in the mood for a positive landlord story? Oh, I hate positivity. Landlords? I'm not too sure about positivity.

No, bring it on. Everyone's favourite people, landlords. There are some shocking landlords out there, but there's some good ones too. I will say the last place I lived, some of the best landlords I've ever had in my whole life. Your current landlord's all right too, isn't she? I mean, she's okay. Bree's partner owns the house. So technically her partner is the landlord.

I mean, I've dealt with worse. Yeah. Does she do flat inspections? Yeah, sometimes. Just to give you notice. Yeah, it's quite full on actually. She's not allowed to just come into your room. Pretty invasive.

Sometimes I walked in and I'm naked and I'm like, oh, you're not allowed to be here. Okay, full disclosure, this story you're about to hear didn't happen in New Zealand. But. This is false hope, isn't it? But imagine if it did, okay? A landlord has made world headlines actually

because they decided to split the profits from their investment property with their tenants. What? Yeah. So they figured the only reason I can afford, and this is the story for a lot of landlords who own an investment property. The only reason they can afford an investment property

is because you, the tenant, are paying their rent. You're paying their mortgage. Yeah. And while you're paying their mortgage, you're also paying the interest and the house is going up in value that time. So they don't make their money out of the rent. They make their money on how much the house goes up in value while they own it and you pay the mortgage on it. And they're able to do that because you are paying for it. Yeah. So this

landlord, after the tenants had moved out, they sold the house and they turned around and said, you know what? You helped me get these capital gains, you helped me make the money on this house, so you get a chunk of it. This is what they wrote, they said, I calculated the amount of principal you paid each month to live here, I split it by who was living in the house at the time

and I added 40% the increase in the value of the home from when I bought it and now I'm transferring your chunk of that. Is that not the most ethical and kind thing you've ever heard? I have never heard of that in my life. Neither. Neither. He sent each of the tenants, this is where it gets really interesting,

each of the tenants a cheque. How much? $2,500. $2,500. Oh, yeah? Yeah. See, this is what I said at the start. This story didn't happen in New Zealand.

I was going to say. Because if this happened in New Zealand, the landlord would have had to transfer each of the tenants $250,000. And it's that point the landlord goes, actually, no, you didn't help me that much. I mean, it's a lot of money. And also, my last name's Richardson,

and I feel like I need to put that into my next investment property. Bree and Clint. New game. A new game. Let's hit it off. From their head to their toes, too high or too low, they're short and they're stout, they're up and they're down. It's the fight of the height.

Have you ever thought to yourself sitting in your living room, I wonder how tall Brad Pitt is. All the time. I wonder how tall Danny DeVito is. All the time. Jennifer Lawrence, I wonder how tall she is. All the time. Well, this is where you and I, Clint,

will go head-to-head guessing celebrities' heights and we will do that to play for someone. I feel like everyone's shorter than you think in Hollywood. That's how I'm coming at this game. Okay, interesting. Yeah. Drew's here. G'day, Drew.

Hi, Drew. Hi. I'm playing for you. So if I win, you get 50 KFC chicken dollars, okay? Yep. Sweet. And that means, Connie, if I win, the 50 KFC chicken dollars are coming your way. Awesome.

Excellent. How tall are you, Connie, just for a matter of interest? Oh, 1 metre 73. Very good point. Brie, are we playing this in feet or centimetres? Feet.

Feet, yeah, good. I don't understand the centimetres one. I'm not American, but for some reason I don't understand the centimetres one. Like, I know how tall

I am in centimetres, but I can't picture it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, cool. Sweet. All right, here we go. Anastasia, what's up? This week's theme are current artists that we play on ZM, so the biggest artists that are on the station right now.

Musicians. Musicians, yep. All right, bring it on. Celebrity number one is Dua Lipa. Ooh, Dua Lipa. I've seen her in this building before. So I feel like that's definitely an advantage. All right.

Oh. 5'9". Clint's gone for 5'7". Bree's gone for 5'9". Dua Lipa is 5'8". Oh, no. Bang in the middle. Split point.

Split point. Okay, 1H. 1H, yes. That's correct. Awesome. Celebrity number two, Justin Bieber. Oh. That's correct. Awesome. Celebrity number two, Justin Bieber. Ooh. That's hard.

I was like 5'4". Oh, yeah, sorry. Okay, you can say that. I think it's 5'4". I was like, I'm sorry, mate. Brie's gone for 5'4". No, I put 5'11". Oh. Oh. I was like, 5'4". Oh, yeah, sorry. Okay, you can say that. I think that's correct. I was like, I'm sorry, mate. Bree's gone for 5'9". Maybe I didn't meet him. Bree's gone.

Yeah, who did you meet? Bree's gone for 5'9", and that's exactly bang on. He's 5'9". Nailed it. That little sneaky little bugger. Sorry about my eyesight. Five nine. Five four.

That's what it looked like. Shout out to our five four listeners. Justin Bieber just a little bit taller than that. Maybe when he's 16. Yeah, maybe. All right. Celebrity number three is The Weeknd. Oh, that's a really difficult one.

Has hairs meant to throw this one off? Yeah. He had a supermodel girlfriend. And she's so tall. So he must be... Okay, yeah. I've got it. Clint has gone for 5'9".

Brie has gone for 6'1". I really didn't know. Brie? 6'1"? I reckon... Nah, nah. No famous people are over 6'1". You're incorrect.

He's 5'8". Clint was at're incorrect. He's 5'8". Clint was the closest. He's 5'8". Yeah. All right. We're on to tie break. Here we go. The next celebrity is Olivia Rodrigo.

I've never even seen a picture of her. I was going to throw you off. She'll be tiny. She'll be tiny. She'll be tiny. She got her driver's licence last week on a booster seat. Clint has gone for 5'5". Bree has gone for 5'4". One of you is bang on.

That's you, Clint. You've won. Yes! Drew, congratulations. 50 KFC chicken dollars coming out to you. Awesome. Thanks. How tall are you

by the way Drew you sound tall-ish are you over 6 foot yep yeah you sound tall-ish we've done this before people have tall voices

I have a I have I think I've got a short voice but I'm actually quite a dominant figure people might not know this about me but I am actually 4'11 but I sound a lot taller.

Brian Clint. Some J-Lo news. Love J-Lo. Love J-Lo's Instagram in particular. I watch Hustlers which is just come on to Netflix. If you've noticed that. How many times have you watched that movie now?

Quite a few. Yeah. JLo is... Goals. She just, I mean, you give all the rules and regulations about stuff and she just throws it out the window and goes, I'll just do what I want. Here's a question for you. This isn't what I planned to talk about. If you had to erase one, all of JLo's music or all of JLo's movies,

which ones would you get rid of? to erase one, all of J-Lo's music or all of J-Lo's movies, which ones would you get rid of? I mean, she did Maid of Manhattan. She did Hustlers. She did. She did that movie, Gigli. Gigli. What's that? That was the movie that her and Ben Affleck did together.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. She did that. What else has she done? You can just have one. Don't think about it too hard. It's just a hypothetical. Just give have one. Don't think about it too hard. It's just a hypothetical. Just give me one. The movies.

Erase the movies. Yeah, right. I was about to regret asking the question, by the way. Sorry. How long you were taking. Well, it's like asking me to pick between two things I love. I just wanted an impulse. I just wanted a gut feeling like, oh, surely I love the music.

Keep the music. That's all I wanted, okay? And then move on. Because I need to talk about this. She's deleted all the pictures of her ex off her social media. I saw this story. A-Rod. Yeah.

He's the billionaire baseball guy. And they were together for a while. Yeah. She's with Batfleck now and posting pictures on the gram with him. And over the weekend, subtly, but of course people are always watching, deleted all pictures of A-Rod and also unfollowed him on Instagram. So do you think, because you said he has obviously done something to her. Yeah.

Something scandalous. When someone does this, when someone does the delete the pics coupled with the unfollow, you're trying to send a message. Surely you're trying to send a message. Yeah, but wouldn't, and this is what I said to you, wouldn't she have done that when they first broke up, which was a fair while ago? Maybe, maybe, or

Doesn't it seem really interesting? She's done it now after she's announced that she's with Ben Affleck. Why wouldn't she have done it before? What if she just found out? What if they broke up

and she thought it was amicable and now she's getting DMs from these chicks like, hey girl, sorry to do this to you. You're J-Lo and all. Love Jenny from the block.

Love the stuff with Ja Rule. But I was hooking up with A-Rod while you guys were together. You know? Or you don't think there's any way, any possibility that Ben Affleck has gone, I don't appreciate all those photos of you and your ex. If he has done that, he's an idiot because why would you rock the boat?

You've already won the lottery. J-Lo has decided to get back together with you. Why would you do that? But I feel like there's a lot of people in those situations that do ask that of their partner. Two questions for you then. Have you deleted all the pictures of your ex from your social media? No.

Your exes? No. Would you if your partner asked you to? No. No. Depends. Like if it was, you know, like hooking up photos. I mean, I would never post that stuff. But do you know what I mean? Like if it was, you know, like hooking up photos. I mean, I would never post that stuff.

But do you know what I mean? Like if it was intimate photos. If your partner was like, hey, it's been a couple of years. Reckon you could take the sex tape down? I mean, it's making me a bit uncomfortable. Bree and Clint. Welcome to a Mind Blown Monday. Once a week, Mondays, coincidentally,

we give you the chance to blow our mind on a mind-blowing Monday. We thought about doing it on a Tuesday. Didn't feel right. Mind-blown Tuesday. No, mind-blown Monday. On a Tuesday. Oh, yeah. You can see where it started to...

It's like doing Taco Tuesday on a Thursday. Yeah. We put it to the research panel. You know what they said about doing it on a Tuesday? That had a lot of prunes. That was after Taco Tuesday. They made that noise. So that's the essence of the game.

We tell you a story, and you tell us a story actually, and then we decide whether it blows our minds or whether you get farted out. It's a fine line. We like to go first just to set the tone and go, hey, if we're going to ask you to risk everything for this, we're going to

do it first. And I have a story that was told to me last week by someone who heard the segment on our show and they went, this story's perfect, but I don't want to call up, I don't want to talk on the radio. So I'm going to retell their story. What do you think? Do you think it's a yes or a no? I think it's a yes. Okay. So it's going to come down

to how I tell it, I guess. How good can you tell the story? Because the story was mind blowing, but it comes down to me. Oh no. So let me give's a yes. Okay. So it's going to come down to how I tell it, I guess. How good can you tell the story? Because the story was mind-blowing, but it comes down to me. Oh, no. So let me give this a go. Let me give this a go. So the person who told me the story is in their 50s, and when they were, I guess they were in their 30s,

they were living in New York in the 90s. So we're talking pre-cell phones. They had like a 90s-style fling where they met someone in a bar, hot and heavy, hot weekend, all this stuff. And then after that, they went their own ways. There's no email. There's no cell phones. They didn't exchange numbers

and they just went, cool, done. Happy with that. This is sounding very much like the plot line of a movie. Is it? Yeah. Good, good. It means I'm telling it well. And it's over.

It's done, right? Fast forward to now, 2021. They're living in Melbourne and they see this person in a coffee shop and they're like, you look familiar. You look so familiar to me. I don't really know why. I can't quite place your face. Anyway, the person comes over and says,

this is going to sound really strange, but did you live in New York City in the 90s? And they said, yeah, I did. And they said, are you so-and-so? And they said, yes, I am. She said, oh my God, are you so-and-so? And it was the person from the 90s that they'd had that one fling with 30 years fast forwarded. And that person's there in the same coffee shop as them. And she's single. You've got to remember that in this situation, she's still single in her 50s. So they get talking and they exchange details and they're like, well, we should go out on a date. Where are you living? The person said, I'm living on such and such street. And they said, I'm living on such and such street. And she said, get out of town. What building do you live in? They said,

I live in this building. And she said, piss off. I live in that building too. This is getting really scary. What floor of the building do you live on? They lived on the exact same floor of the exact same building in a different country 30 years later. I don't know if my mind is blown or if I'm just completely

creeped out. It's super creepy. Right, you think the guy might have... He's like, what are the odds? What are the odds? That you just happened to be here 30 years later. But let's put that aside. I mean, it does sound very creepy.

I'd be creeped out if I was her. Would you? Yeah. She wasn't creeped out, she was turned on. Okay, well, yeah, I'll give it a thumbs up. But don't you think that's creepy? Nah, I think it's serendipitous. I think that's fate. Very serendipitous, isn't it?

I think you can't not go on a date with that person. I think you go, the universe has put us back together. Yeah, but that's what he'd want you to think. Give love a chance, Brie. Nah, I'm jaded, mate. I'm so jaded.

Okay, you're going to need to blow our mind this afternoon. We don't have a creepy button, unfortunately. All we've got is the explosion and the fart out. We should add the creepy button in for next week. Do you have a story that is so mind-blowing and so coincidental that it just shouldn't exist, but it does, and you want to share it with us this afternoon? Call us now, 0800-DIAL-ZM, or you can text us on 9696.

We'd love to hear your stories this afternoon. It's a mind-blowing Monday on ZM. We need your stories this afternoon. If you want to tell us your mind-blowing coincidence, you can call us, 0800-DIAL-ZM. And either we'll have our minds blown or we'll fart you out. I get it.

It's quite confronting to be farted out. I've been farted out. I've been farted out. It hurts your feelings. It does, but it's also, you know, it's a nice thing because you know your friends are being honest with you. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I feel like you might have cursed us with a three out of three last week. We did a threefer last week.

Yeah, it's not beatable, you know? I mean, it's amazing. Let's give it a go. Jamie's here. Hi, Jamie. G'day, Jamie. Hello, hello. Welcome to a mind-blowing Monday.

Are you going to try and blow our minds? Yes, definitely. Okay. Yeah, so I've got two brothers. One of them went for a late-night fish with a few too many bearsies. They both got swamped, and so him and his mate were having a little paddle around, didn't know which direction to swim. Then my other brother was having a bonfire on the beach.

And so he's like, oh, look, there's the fire. I know which direction to swim. Dragged his mate that way, and the fire engine turned up with the police. And my brother, who lit the fire, was like, oh, crap, better take off because the police are here, fire engine. As he took off, the fire engines turned up with the police and my brother who lit the fire was like, oh crap better take off because the police are here, fire engine. As he took off the fire engines turned up, my other brother got to the shore and collapsed in the water

and the fireman saved his life because he was going to drown. So the only reason that your brother's life was saved is because the other brother had lit a fire on the beach, unintentionally. What? And their boat had sunk and the fire service... Turned up and dragged the brother who was in the boat to shore.

Yeah, that's pretty wild. Yeah. I love the way you underplayed it too, Jamie. You're like, anyway, the boat hit some rocks and so they're having a little paddle around. They were sunk out at sea and they didn't know which way back to shore because it was dark. Yeah, and they had quite a few too many beers, easily.

Far out. Okay, good. You get to walk. Well done, Jamie. It's a good one. You get to walk away, Jamie. Nice work. Debbie's here.

Hi, Debbie. Hi, Debbie. Hi. Hi. You got a mind-blowing story for us. Oh, I think so, yeah. All right, tell us what happened. Well, I met a guy on Tinder, and we did the old, oh, you look familiar, yada, yada.

And so he said, oh, add me on Facebook, which I did, so I could have his note. Before or after the first date? Before, first date. Good, yeah. And then it turned out I actually used to work with his ex-wife. So that was a bit of a laugh. And then we went out on our first date, and we were chatting away and talking about people. Turns out I actually knew his cousin, and we were both at his cousin's 21st.

We were both at his wedding. And, yeah, 20 years later, we're now married. Whoa. Not me and the cousin. Me with the Tinder guy. But you'd never realised along all those times that you were at the event together, you'd never talked to each other. But you and your eventual soulmate had been at all those events together in the past and not realised. Debbie, I need a bit more information. Where are you from?

Christchurch. Okay. So this all happened in Christchurch? Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Do you have any questions? I know where you're going with this,

but I feel like the fact that they never communicated at any of these events, but they ended up together forever. Oh, what, Debbie? We did it at the wedding because he was there with his ex-wives, who I worked with. Oh, right. Okay. Yeah, yeah. And then you ended up together. Oh, don't do this, Brie. I want to give it to her.

I want to give it to her, but I know... Beautiful story, Debbie. It's because it's local. I know. It's because it's local. I adore you, Debbie, but we have said on this segment, New Zealand, it's quite a small place. And then Christchurch. No! Yay, Debbie!

But you know what? Debbie, you're the real winner because you ended up with the guy. Oh, totally. 100%. Yeah. Oh, see, Debbie's great. She doesn't care. She just told us that the wedding was in San Francisco, Debbie.

Damn it. Bree and Clint. Hey. It's my birthday. It's my birthday. Bree and Clint's birthday banger. Right, for a Monday, we'll take three of your guys' birthdays, figure out what was the top charting song on your 16th,

and then we'll play our favourite one. We'll start off with Adrian. Hi, Adrian. Hi, Adrian. How was your weekend? Pretty good, thank you. You kind of said it, you were like, pretty good. Pretty good. My cousin had a baby and I got to cuddle him.

How are you feeling today? I'm good. I'm good today. You're back on deck. Did you have to get a COVID test? No, I dodged that bullet. Yeah, right. Even though I'm a nurse.

Oh, even though you're a nurse. Can you COVID test yourself if you're a nurse? Can you duck the swab up there? Oh, I wouldn't want to. Screw that, eh? Yeah, look, let's just say my experience when I got a COVID test wasn't good for me or the person giving the test.

I wouldn't go deep enough if I had to do it to myself. It was a bit like... It wasn't good. Okay, Liv, what's your birthday? 9th of September, 1987. All right, Liv, you were 16 in 2003. And on the 9th of September in 2003, this was number one. I didn't want it. I didn't want it.

I didn't want it. I didn't want it. I didn't want it. Yes. Shake your tail feather, Liv. You've got a banger. Shake your tail feather. Can I have some mash with that banger?

Yes. Hopefully, if you win, you can have whatever you want. God, if you're this funny when you're sick, imagine what you're like when you've not been sick. It's got the jokes. Wait there, we've got one more to do for Trish. Hi, Trish. G'day, Trish.

It's a banger. ZM, Brie and Clint. The winner of Birthday Banger for Olivia is Nelly P. Diddy and Murphy Lee, Shake Your Tail Feather, Taking Down, 4-5 Seconds and Black Velvet,

which is actually a closet banger to be honest. Absolutely. Remember someone did this at the very first Birthday Banger Live party we did? Yes, and she was amazing. Showed up in full leather gears. Shout out. You know who you are. Yeah, because we don't.

But it was incredible. But you were great, yeah. Are we doing another Birthday Banger Live tour this year? Shout out. You know who you are. Yeah, because we don't. But it was incredible. But you were great, yeah. Are we doing another Birthday Banger live tour this year? Friday Okie. Friday Okie. No, what? Wait.

No, Birthday Banger. Oh, Birthday Banger. No, Friday Okie. Friday Okie. Oh, shit. We've got too many song features. I don't know. I don't know if people want another tour of the Friday Okie.

I feel like there's definitely more talent to see. Oh yeah. We haven't even been to Palmerston North yet. Yeah, we just touched the surface. Yeah. I'm like Simon Cowell, hungry for the next One Direction. If we do do Friday Oki live again, can we get some big red chairs that you

and I can sit in? And they spin around? Yes. That'd be a great time. Yes. Big red chair. We spin. I mean, I'm not in charge of the budget, but yes, we can do that. Ben, sort out the chairs.

Cool, he's on it. Just get a couple of office chairs from, you know, Staples. Is that what it's called? No, that's when I lived in America. A warehouse stationery? Yeah. Bree and Clint. Yeah. Brian Clint. Sad day, Clint.

Very sad day. As we heard Fletch, Vaughan and Megan talk about it this morning, I read this story as well and I was quite shocked to learn that apparently they believe landline phone lines will be dead by 2025. No. What else are they going to take from us? Discaments? I mean, yeah, I use my Discman all the time.

Blu-ray players? I'm actually hanging on to my Blu-rays. I love my Blu-ray player. They're going to be like the vinyl of the 2010s. And don't you dare come for my 3D television. I love it. Probably the best thing I ever spent my money on. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

3D TVs. What a great invention. Definitely got enough glasses to go around. Definitely know where they all are. Invite all your friends over. Definitely got enough glasses to go around, definitely know where they all are. I invite all your friends over. Definitely got more than just Avatar to watch. Got so many 3D movies in the catalogue. You know what's the latest 3D television?

What? The Curve, the TV Curve. The Curve's already over. Yeah. It's already over. It was so fast. And how long do you think the 3D television lasts for? It's about the same time as the Curve.

Yeah, right. What are they going to try and do? We live and learn, don't we? But the Landline made a same time as The Curve. Yeah, right. What are they going to try next? We live and learn, don't we? But The Landline made a longer run than The Curve TV. The Landline had a good century, you know, century and a bit. I know. It was where it all began. Like, I feel like it's the OG, and they're saying by 2025,

it will be no more. How sad. I remember, I recall when my auntie told me I would have been probably like 15 or 16. Yeah. And she told me that she didn't have a land, she moved into a new place. Yeah. And she said, here's my mobile number.

You can just reach me on that because I don't have a landline. And you're like, whoa, wretch. I was so shocked. No, I wasn't. I was like, that's so weird. Why wouldn't you have a landline. And you're like, whoa, Rich. I was so shocked. No, I wasn't. I was like, that's so weird. Why wouldn't you have a landline? Yeah. And now it just seems.

Did you ever live, so you're similar age to me. Did you ever live in a flat where you guys had to pay for a landline? I don't think so. I think my very first flat we had a phone bill. And then as soon as we moved out, we're like, why the hell have we got a landline? It's literally only our parents that call us on this. We've all got cell phones.

Or maybe one flat. Yeah. Now that I think about it. Yeah, right. Anyway, we've got a game we want to play this afternoon with landlines. We've got a lot of people call up for this. Are they on a landline or are they on a mobile? Well, that's what you and I have to decide, Clint.

Siobhan's here first. Hi, Siobhan. Don't tell us. We just want to hear the audio quality. Just bring down the music for a second. Siobhan, could you give us just an anecdote about yourself? Tell us one interesting thing about you. Yes, one thing I was going to say

is I'm 27, but I don't do any social media at all. She's on a landline. She's on a landline. It's so crisp. It's so crisp, it's so clear. She's alternative. No social media, you're on a landline.

No. Oh. Damn it, damn it. Of course she's not on a landline. She's 27. She led us down a road. I feel like that was so deceitful of you. Yeah, okay. We're none from one.

Let's talk to James. James is here. Hi, James. G'day, James. Hello, how are you? How old are you, James? I am 11. Okay, James is 11.

I feel like that's something I used to do as a kid. I'd call up the radio station on the landline. But let's play this thing forward. If James is 11, hypothetically his parents could be early 40s. He's got to be calling off his parents' phone. Do people in their early 40s have landlines? Not really. At 11, probably doesn't have his own phone.

Would he have his own mobile? No, surely not. Does he know what a landline is? James? He's on a landline. Yes, I know what a landline is. You do know what a landline is? Sorry to speak about you like you weren't here.

It's fine. You tell him, James. You tell him off. James, I'm going to go with Bray. I'm going to say you know what a landline is because you're calling us from one right now. How did you know? We got you. We got you, James.

Oh, no. Oh, you're not on a landline? You were doing the rope-a-dope with us. No, I am on a landline. I just thought you were saying, I said, how did you know? Because how did you know? James. You said he's on the landline.

Yep. You know why, James? We have the gift. Yep, that's how we got this job. We're one from two. Let's go to Kerry. Hi, Kerry. G'day, Kerry.

Hey. Hey. All right, come on, Kerry. Tell us. Your favourite takeaways. What's your favourite takeaway meal, Kerry?. G'day, Kerry. Hey. Hey. All right, come on, Kerry. Tell us your favourite takeaways. What's your favourite takeaway meal, Kerry? And give us a little bit of detail. Burger fuel.

Burger fuel, delicious. Could you say KFC? Our show is sponsored by KFC. KFC, definitely. And what do you like to get from KFC? Wicked wings, delicious. A burger. You're giving us very little one-word answers here, Kerry. She's not.

She's not. Oh, actually, I don't know. No, you just heard a generational laugh there. I feel like landline. Kerry, you're on a landline. Yeah. Yeah. How's the sound quality?

Do you love owning a landline? I don't like being said that I've got a generational laugh, though. Oh, sorry. I'm screwing up all over the place. You know what, Kerry? He tells me that all the time, and I just tell him off. Because we've got to stick together, because we've got great laughs, Kerry. I. You know what, Kerry? He tells me that all the time and I just tell him off. Because, yeah, we've got to stick together

because we've got great laughs, Kerry. I just picked your generation, Kerry. I can tell that you're a hot, hot-rocking millennial. Yeah, thanks for that. Yeah, perfect. Okay. Do we do one more?

I want to do another one. Let's do another one. I'm on a buzz. Jodie's here. Hi, Jodie. Hey, Jodie. Hi, how are you? Oh, it's very clear.

Very clear. It's very clear. Jodie. Oh, she sounds, you know what? She sounds like's very clear. Very clear. It's very clear. Jodie. Oh, she sounds, you know what? She sounds like she's in a room of the house. She's like put her feet up. She's definitely indoors. Maybe she's in the study at home.

Landlines love being indoors. Maybe she lives in a nice property. Jodie. Oh, I do. Very much so. Oh. Nah, she's got a home office because she's rich and she's calling us from the landline. I don't know about being rich, but I'm, you know.

You're well off. So after pay, I've got after pay. Okay, put us out of our misery. Are you on a landline right now, Jodie, from your home office? Have a kiss. Have a kiss. Here we are. We're saying landline.

I'm saying home office landline. Oh, no. I'm on a cell phone. Why would she have a landline? She's rich. Do you even have an office in your house, Jodie? No, I've got a playroom. Oh, right.

Okay. Not that type of playroom. Not that type of playroom. Come on, Jodie. Like I said, I'm putting my foot in it all over the place this afternoon. We've got to do one more. Okay, Hayden. We've got to do one more.

Just quickly, Hayden. Ask Hayden a question so we can hear his phone quality. Okay, Hayden. Shoulder. Ooh, I feel like he's on a construction site. He'sden a question so we can hear his phone quality. Hayden. Calder. Ooh, I feel like he's on a construction site. He's on a mobile. He's on a mobile phone. He's on a mobile.

He's outdoors. Unless he's on a Unity and Cordless phone, he's definitely on a cell phone. It's a cell phone for sure. Cell phone, James. Hayden, sorry. I've actually pulled over to a pay phone. And I'll tell you what, these things are terribly inefficient.

I'm in one with a door and I can just hear cars. Bullshit. Bullshit, Hayden. You have not. It's only Monday, but you get my caller of the week. Brian Clint, enjoy it while you can.

Landlines Dead by 2025. ZM. Brian Clint. We don't like to turn our own horn, but we are the leading show for maritime and aviation-based news. So we've like to turn our own horn, but we are the leading show for maritime and aviation-based news, so we're going to turn our own horn. Literally, our boat horn.

It's a big horn. It's a big horn. I've got some maritime news for you, Brie, and it's the best kind of maritime news. What kind? Titanic maritime news. The greatest ship of all. Was it the worst ship of all?

Hard to figure out really I love all the conspiracy theories That have been circling around TikTok About the Titanic Is there a TikTok conspiracy theory about the Titanic? I haven't even heard I'll do it real quick So one of the conspiracy theories

Is that the guy who owned the Titanic Or built the Titanic It actually wasn't a different boat It actually who owned the Titanic or built the Titanic, it actually wasn't a different boat. It actually wasn't the Titanic. He just re-signed this other boat that he'd had and that looked very similar to the Titanic and just wanted to claim the insurance. No.

Oh, this is TikTok conspiracy. Anyway, get out of here with your unfounded... I'm just saying, it's on TikTok. ...conspir conspiracy theories. This is real maritime news, okay? There's no space for conspiracies in here. Three people have been injured after part of an artificial iceberg collapsed at the world's largest Titanic museum in the US state of Tennessee last week.

Is it a fake iceberg? Yeah, it's up there. It's a fake iceberg which is next to a fake Titanic. And see that big fake Titanic? Yeah. That comes sailing out towards you. So it's like a simulation of the Titanic hitting the iceberg.

And part of the iceberg fell off and it hit three people and they had to go to hospital. Oh my God. This is a statement from the world's largest Titanic museum. Our iceberg wall collapsed and injured three guests who were taken to hospital. Needless to say, we would never have expected an incident like this to occur as the safety of our guests and crew members is always at the top of mind. Didn't expect an iceberg incident, eh?

Sounds familiar to me. Sounds very familiar. How authentic are you trying to make this Titanic museum? Am I right? What an interesting museum to go to. Yeah. Let alone build and work at to decide on your holiday. You know what I want to do?

I want to go to one of the greatest maritime disasters of all time, recreated with animatronics. Imagine if they had Leo floating around in the water on a door. On a door, yeah. Do you reckon they've approached him? Do you reckon they've said, one day, Leo, name your price. Just name your price. Well, to be fair, he wouldn't be on the door, would he?

Yeah, no. He'd be in the water. It'd be Kate Winslet. I wonder how much she's going for this. And you can't have one without the other, to be fair, he wouldn't be on the door, would he? Yeah, no. He'd be in the water. It'd be Kate Winslet. I wonder how much she's going for this. And you can't have one without the other, right? No, you need both. Maybe you can only afford Kate, and she has to say, Leo's down there, he's already dead.

And that works too. I let go. It works. Anyway, that is your Maritime News, everybody. No one, and I repeat, no one does more Maritime-based news than the Brian Clint Show. And we still can't figure out why. God, that horn scared
