For a few years, in the 1970s, the Mr Asia syndicate made millions. Heroin creates its own market. It acts like a form of play. Until jealousy, betrayal and murder brought it all crashing down. Then he just pulled out a gun, shot her in the back of the head, and then said to Wayne, you're going to help me bury her. This is Mr Asia, A Forgotten History.

Happy Taco Tuesday. Happy Taco Tuesday, y'all. I was just talking to you before off air how I was at a cafe this morning.

Oh, yeah. Because there's people doing work at my house, so we had to get out of the house. So we're at a cafe, me and my partner, and the table next to us, just the entire time we were there, played videos on their phone at full volume. Like full volume. It was so loud.

I was like, do they realize how rude it is? It's the height of rudeness. There's nothing more annoying than listening to someone else watch TikTok. Yeah, I don't want to listen to the TikToks you're watching. Not at all. Because then it makes me want to know. Not at all. What are you watching?

Because all I can do is hear it. And then you laugh at them too. I'm like, oh, was it a funny one, was it? Wouldn't know. And it was a group of people. Like, it wasn't just like there was one person by themselves. Don't TikTok at a cafe unless you're by yourself. That's the height of rudeness too.

It was bizarre. To be on your phone with other people at a cafe and not're by yourself. That's the height of rudeness too. It was bizarre. To be on your phone with other people at a cafe and not have headphones. It was so strange. Do these people not have mothers? God, who is teaching these people things? The youth of today.

But that's okay. That's why I'm not a good hockey player. I just played indoor hockey, and we had plastic sticks. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And that plastic ball. Yeah. The wiffle ball. We started with the wiffle ball, and then they brought in pucks,

like rubber pucks, and then a kid got his two front teeth knocked out, so we went back to the ball. He ruined it for everyone. Good times. Noah, you're tradie. Bobby, you're lady First person to three correct answers Gets the prize from the tool shed

The final? It was early yesterday morning. No, it was like seven o'clock. Oh yeah, so early-ish. Yeah. It was all done. To watch a football match, I mean. Yeah, but great for before work.

Yeah. I mean, awesome. And free. It was on TVNZ. Was it? That's cool. The English took on the Spanish in the final, and unfortunately it didn't come home. The Spaniards took it out 2-1.

I'm not a football guy, but did you know it's been 60 years since England have won a major trophy? They always say it's coming home. 60 years. It's a long time. Especially when you, like that country is so football crazy. Like football mad. Like put so much money into football. Sorry to all of our English fans.

I know it's been a tough couple of days for you. Yeah. No, it is rough. tough couple of days for you. Yeah. No, it is rough. And I would have liked to have seen them win. To our Spanish listeners, how good? God, the Spanish have really cleaned up in football in the past couple of years. Like the women took out the FIFA World Cup.

That's right. And now the men have taken out the Euros. Anyway, I saw this story about... If you're English, it's time to start speaking with a Spanish accent, I reckon. I know. Just change allegiances. They would never. Yeah. It's coming home. It is coming home.

Perfect your paella, do a Spanish accent, learn some Spanish. God, I love Spain. Barcelona. I saw a story about an Englishman though. 29-year-old Dan Thomas made the news in the UK when he decided that before the final, before the final, so when the English team won the semis,

he decided I'm going to get a tattoo for this team. It's going to have the trophy for the Euros in there and it's going to have English champions. And then... 2024. 2024. Yeah, so the date was in there as well. So he's gone and got that tattoo before the final yesterday. Yeah.

And obviously they did not win. How old is this guy? He's 29. He should know better. He should know better. He should know better. Happens though. Guy Williams had a guy on who got the Rugby World Cup trophy tattooed on him with All Blacks 2019 champions on it.

Why are they doing that? Obviously, we didn't win the 2019 World Cup. And then Guy Williams went back and visited him on New Zealand Today and he was like, hey, do you want me to help you get that removed? And he was like, no. Why not? He goes, because I'm still loyal. He's like, yeah, but it's factually incorrect.

You can just get the nine taken out. Oh, no, you'd have to get the one and the nine. No, you'd have to get the whole thing taken out. The one and the nine now. Yeah, and then you'd have to wait. No, but that's what I mean. You get the one and the nine taken out and then you wait until they win another one

and then you just put that back in. And then you fill it in. Yeah. And you fill it in. I want to hear from people this afternoon. Are you such a diehard sports team fan where you have a tattoo on your body for your sports team of choice? Yeah. Like a warrior's tattoo.

Like the team that you're backing in for the win. Like my mum has no tattoos, but I reckon she might like be swayed to get a tattoo for the Queensland Maroons. I reckon she'd get a Brisbane Bronco jumping over her lower back. Like I reckon she would get a Queenslander in her tramp stamp spot. Like she would. I reckon she would be swayed. You reckon she'd get Darren Lockyer tattooed on her left breast? Yeah, and then Cameron Smith on the other.

I reckon she would. Like that's how much of a diehard fan my mother is. They say you're not allowed to get the Olympic rings tattooed on your body unless you have been to an Olympic Games as an athlete. Oh, only Olympians say that. Yeah, exactly right. They want it to be their thing. It's a great conversation starter. To have only Olympians say that. Yeah, exactly right. I think it's a great- They want it to be their thing. It's a great conversation starter.

To have the Olympic rings on you. Yeah. Yeah. Imagine you just have it like on your neck, like under your ear. Yeah. And so people are like, have you been to the Olympics? And you're like, yep. And then you go, oh, what sport did you compete in the Olympics?

Kayaking. And you go, well, you can spend the night guessing. And if you get it correct, I'll tell you. I'd just pick real obscure sports. Oh, $800 at M or Texas on 9696. Have you got your sports team tattooed on your body? It might not even be a sports team that we've ever heard of. Yeah, could be a team in the NFL or in the hockey league over in Canada.

It could be a team in the Auckland under-85 KG rugby competition. Yeah, maybe it was a bet in your rugby team and you had to get the logo tattooed. What have you got? Oh, $800 at M, text 9696. We'll get you on next. If you haven't been following it, the Euros have been going down and the English have been devastated once again

because the trophy is not coming home. They lost the final. They lost the final to Spain 2-1. Everyone is devastated and I feel for them. I feel for them. They lost the final to Spain 2-1. Everyone is devastated and I feel for them. I feel for them. They're so passionate. Happy for Spain because it's a huge achievement. Really sad for one guy who decided

to get a tattoo for the English team winning the trophy with the date on it and then they lose. Don't be sorry for that guy. He's the dumbest guy of all. I do feel sorry for him. That is all he's doing.

He just had to wait two days. That's all he had to do. That is a good point. That is a great point. So we're asking you this afternoon on 0800DIALSATM, are you such a diehard of a sports team that you've got a tattoo for? Max is here. G'day, Max.

Hi, Max. Hi, Max. Hi. What's your sports tattoo, Max? It's the Manchester United club crest. Do you? Yeah. When did you get that, Max? When I turned 18.

It was like, well, because I liked them. It made the most sense. And my dad's got the same tattoo. Oh, really? That makes it a bit special, doesn't it? That's a bit cute. Yeah. How big is it?

Yeah. It's pretty decent. It covers, like, the whole of my left, you know, tit. If we could organise David Beckham to sign your butt cheek, would you then get that tattooed onto you? Oh, yeah, definitely. Yeah, I knew you would. I knew you would.

We'll be back in touch, Max. If we could get Wayne Rooney to sign the other butt cheek, would you get that one tattooed on there as well? Yeah. Or we could get Wayne Rooney to write Wayne Mooney and do it across both butt cheeks. That would be perfect. That'd be perfect?

Okay, cool. Like we said, we'll be in touch. A few texts coming through. Someone said, I knew a Warriors fan who lost a bet and had to get an Aussie team tattooed on themselves. Which team is it? I want to know which team. As long as it's not Melbourne Storm.

Christy's here. Hi, Christy. Hi, Christy. Hi. You got a sports tattoo? Not quite. I got a Fortnite tattoo. You have a Fortnite tattoo?

The logo or what are we talking? The Piñata Llama. I talking? The Piñata Llama. Oh, I do love the Piñata Llama. It's very cute. Do people recognise it when they see it or are they like, what's up with the llama? They normally say it's pretty cute, but if they're a gamer, they know what it is.

Me and my partner got matching ones. What did your partner get? The same llama, but he got a G in his little backpack for his gamer name, and I got a K. Cute. You guys are meant to be. That's so cute.

Very cute gamer couple. Someone said, I've got an Ironman triathlon tattoo on my right ankle because I've done three Ironmans, and I deserve it. You bloody well do. You bloody well do deserve it. I've seen those Ironman tattoos and the people that have them, usually on the upper arm so that it's visible in your triathlon suit. Right.

You know, in your swimming, cycling, running suit, your multi-sport suit. You want people to know about it. Yeah. We've got people who've got their club football teams, their club rugby teams tattooed on their bodies. What about the club lawn bowls champs? What? Hell yeah.

I'd be getting that tattooed. I've got my college lawn bowls champs 2002 tattooed on my back with a lawn bowl. After 15 years, it kind of looks like a saggy pear. I feel like a lawn bowl is quite hard to tattoo because it's just a big black ball. Big black ball. Big black ball. It would look like a birthmark, wouldn't it? Yeah, a little bit.

We should do this. What? Get a tattoo? Yeah. No. No, not me. Who are you going to get? Obviously the All Blacks.

No, we organise for other people to do it. I've just had an idea. You get the All Blacks? I'll get an All Blacks. No, I won't. Oh, you just said. Oh, you just said. No, no, no.

We should do a thing where we do a night of the dumbest tattoos and we just book a tattoo artist. And get whatever dumb tattoo you want. And you come down and you're only allowed to get a tattoo if we think it's a dumb idea. We'll pay for the tattoo so long as we think it's a dumb idea. Yeah, who wants to get that Wayne Mooney tattoo idea? Yeah.

That would definitely. Who wants to get All Blacks World Cup champions 2023 tattered on their body? Oh, I was going to say, yeah, because they obviously didn't win. That's a trademark idea. No one else is allowed to do that. Bree and Clint from iHeartRadio. This is the latest live from LA with Dean McCarthy.

Dean and Harry Styles fans are abuzz because he's appeared on stage with an absolute icon. Oh, my goodness. Stevie Nicks performed at Harry Styles' landslide in honour of Christine McVie's birthday. So she would have been 81, I think they said, that day. So they went to the stage. They're in Hyde Park in London. Stevie invited Harry Styles on and she was like,

I asked Harry to do this. It's always very hard to ask someone to come and sing a song about your best friend, you know what I mean, that died suddenly. And so it was incredible.

It was iconic and fans have just been beside themselves. We've got a little bit of it here. This is Harry Styles performing at Stevie Nicks' concert. So he's a guest doing Fleetwood Mac's Landslide. here this is harry styles performing at stevie nicks concert so he's a guest i'm doing fleet

with max landslide doesn't really do it justice i've watched it about three times it's very beautiful and like the things that stevie nicks says around it are very beautiful. But here's the goss, Dean. What's the goss? Fans have worked out, this is not the first time

that Harry Styles has performed with Stevie Nicks and Fleetwood Mac. They've hooked up. Well, no, he's 30 and she's 74. They didn't hook up.

Cher's boyfriend is 30. Okay, fair enough. No, no, they've performed together four times in total. Yeah. The previous three times that he's performed with Stevie Nicks, he's released an album straight away afterwards.

He's released a new album directly after performing with Stevie Nicks the previous three times, and this is the fourth time. Do you reckon she, like, helps him on his albums or something or gives him a kick up the bum to be like, come on? Or he's not allowed to release one until she signs it off. Maybe it's like a superstitious thing. But yeah, there's the rumour for you, Dean. There could be a new Harry Styles album in the works.

I hope so. Can't wait. I love you with the tea. I love the sight of you, Clint. I know. Yeah, where did that come from? Look at you go. Thanks, babes.

I'm plugged into the Matrix. Bree and Clint. I saw this post today on Reddit, on the Reddit New Zealand page, actually. I read it. Did you read it? Yeah. Have you read it? I read it, yeah.

Thanks, Dad. Sorry. Thanks, Dad. Sorry. I've been hanging out with you too long. Don't put this on me. You're the dad. Your comedy stylings are your own.

Your dad nurses rub it off on me. Don't dad shame me. I wasn't. I was just saying. Don't dad shame me. I was just saying it's coming from you. Okay. Wasn't shaming you. Here's the question. What's a traditional New Zealand meal

I can make for overseas visitors? They said I've lived in New Zealand since I was two years old but majority of my extended family are overseas. Whenever they come and visit me, they ask me to make or take them somewhere for traditional New Zealand meals.

Short of digging a hungy pit in my townhouse courtyard, what are my options? Nope, that is the only option. Is it? Yep. Lift up the cobblestones. That is the traditional. Put down a hungy.

Like if there's the- Just start a fire, an inner city fire? The epitome of a traditional Kiwi meal is the hangi. Yeah, no shit, but that's not really practical, is it? Well, I mean, you can fill the hole in once you're done. They said, I took some of them to have

fish and chips at the beach, but they weren't impressed. To be fair, fish and chips. The UK probably does the best fish and chips. UK, Aussie, New Zealand. We've, fish and chips. The UK probably does the best fish and chips. UK, Aussie, New Zealand. We've got fish and chips cornered for sure. It's a shame they weren't impressed by the beach. Maybe you took them in winter.

The beach would be the selling point. It's a hard sell in winter. So what is it? So what's the meal? Do you want some suggestions from the comments section? Yeah, what have people suggested? So we're looking for traditional Kiwi meals that you can serve people from overseas

to display our culture. Because I said lamb. Lamb, yeah. I went lamb, any type of lamb. Got good lamb here in New Zealand. Roast lamb with mint sauce. Yeah. Was in the comments.

That's pretty Kiwi. Someone else said pie and V from the dairy. Oh, yeah. Steak pie and cheese. That's breakfast and lunch covered. Maybe a sausage roll if you're looking to shake things up. Oh, yeah, steak pie and cheese. That's breakfast and lunch covered. Maybe a sausage roll if you're looking to shake things up.

Oh yeah, a good sausage roll. Traditional Kiwi meals. Someone said a cold slice of bacon and egg pie. Oh yep, like a quiche. No,

bacon and egg pie. Isn't that a quiche? Nah, quiche has no lid on it. Bacon and egg pie. Oh true. Pastry on the bottom, pastry on the top. And if you want to get really kiwi, I'm not saying I endorse this,

you might have some frozen peas in there as well. No, get rid of the peas. They're in the cold ones. You don't need the pies. They're in the cold ones. You don't need the peas in the cold pie. Traditional kiwi meals. Mints on toast.

Feeling fancy? Frozen veg throughout it. Want it bougie? Put a poached egg on top of it. Served super runny. Oh, yeah. Gimme,? Frozen veg throughout it. Want it bougie? Put a poached egg on top of it. Served super runny. Oh yeah. Gimme gimme gimme. What about a pavlova? Pavlova is in there. Yeah, pavlova. But it's not a

meal, is it? It's a dessert. It can be if you want it to be. It's just fluffy egg white. A pavlova. It's not gonna fill you up. You put more fruit on it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know? Yeah, It's more of a dessert. Someone said, I love this from the text machine, someone said, kiwi

meal, apricot chicken on rice. Oh, that is my childhood. I feel like apricot chicken, eh? My family went through a serious depression when, you know the people who do Chicken Tonight? Yes. Do I know them? They took apricot chicken tonight off the shelves. Why would they do Chicken Tonight? Yes. Do I know them?

They took apricot chicken tonight off the shelves. Why would they do that? I know. We were raised on apricot chicken tonight in my house. Why would they chicken tonight? Mum would do it in the glass casserole dish. Chicken tonight's still going. I feel like chicken tonight.

Chicken tonight. Chicken tonight. Someone else said lolly cake. If you want to serve them a traditional kiwi meal That's super kiwi It is I didn't like lolly cake at first I've come around

It's interesting because it's It's very sweet And it's very dense Very dense And it needs to be refrigerated You know who did a very good lolly cake Was former producer Ben, R.A.P. He did do a good lolly cake, didn't he?

Prided himself on it Yeah, I didn't really appreciate it Because I felt like I had My taste buds had to adjust Yeah, Ben, RAP. He did do a good lolly cake, didn't he? Prided himself on it. Yeah, I didn't really appreciate it because I felt like I had, my taste buds had to adjust. Yeah, yeah. And so when he was here, I felt like, oh, let's bring him back just for the lolly cake. We need to help sort this out for this person. So let's go to the phones and the text machine

to see if we can figure out, if you were cooking for people overseas, it's not a hangi, okay? It's not a hangi. What is a traditional Kiwi meal? Whitebait fritters. Whitebait fritters, great. Someone else said mussels and power fritters.

Mussels and power fritters, yeah, absolutely. That's pretty good. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Someone else said you can do a hangi in the crock pot. A few people have digged that through. Okay, okay, okay. I'd love to know how to do it in the crock pot. How do you do it in the crock pot? I don't know. Do you put the hot stones in there? I guess the crock pot. How do you do it in the crock pot? I don't know.

Do you put the hot stones in there? I guess the crock pot is the hot stone. Yeah, that is the hot stone. Do you put a bit of dirt in there to get it all earthy? I don't know. Oh, $100.00 or Texas on 9696. Good or silly. What do you reckon a traditional Kiwi meal is

that you could serve to someone from overseas and they'd go, I feel like I've had a taste of New Zealand. This is. This is what you guys eat. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Let us know. We're trying to answer the question for this person who's asked it.

They've got in-laws coming over from overseas. They're not from New Zealand, and they want a traditional Kiwi meal. They want to feel like they've had a New Zealand experience at dinner time. Just give them a Cody's and call it a day. We're trying to figure out what is that? Is it a Woodstock bourbon and coke and a punnet of chips at the Warriors? Hell yeah. Or is it something else? I really

liked apricot chicken on rice. I thought that got to the heart of something quite special. Where does apricot, like it must originate from somewhere. Yeah, I'm sure it does. But on rice the way that we serve it, is that, you know? It's the same as this suggestion here.

We're looking for a traditional Kiwi meal. Someone said rice risotto chicken box with diced ham in it. You know the rice risotto that comes in the blue box? Oh, yeah. And it comes out like fluorescent yellow when you cook it? I feel like that might be a traditional Kiwi meal. I feel like there's lots of MSG. It just keeps me coming back for more.

Connor's here. Hi, Connor. Hi, Connor. Afternoon, guys. How are we? We're good, thanks. We're looking for a cultural experience, Connor. If we're foreigners and we're coming to your house for a traditional Kiwi meal,

what are you making us? Oh, look, I had this. I had my Canadian in-laws come over last year. Oh, okay. And we were wrecking our brains, so obviously we did the lamb roast and that, but steak, eggs, and chips was their favourite. Steak, eggs, and chips. It's a great combo.

They were impressed by that, were they? They loved it. They loved it. They're like, who would have thought to put the eggs with the steak? And the chips. And the chips. And the chips. Are we just talking like a bag of McCain's oven fries or did you hand cut some potatoes and make them chips?

Homemade. Homemade chips. Okay. Oh, that's pretty fancy, Connor. Okay, but MasterChef of you. Thanks, Connor. I think this is one of my favourite texts that's come through. Someone said, Marmite and chicken chip sandwich.

Boom. Yes. Has to be on white bread. Has to be on white bread or else it's a no-go. That is, yeah. I never did chicken chips. I was always really salted chips on my Marmite and chip sandwiches. I'll take any chips. But chicken, that's exotic. I like it. Chicken on

chips, yum. Charlotte's here. Hi, Charlotte. Hi, Charlotte. Hi. How's it going? We're good. We're looking for a traditional Kiwi meal. What are you cooking us? Well, I actually sent through the chicken chips and marmite sandwich, but I've got another one for you. Okay. God, you just have got all the good ideas, Charlotte.

Yeah, Nadia Lim over here. What have you got for us? I'm going to take five and I'm hungry, so cheese roll. Of course. Isn't the cheese roll thing, look, it's always been big down south. Big South Island thing. In the last five years, it's made its way north. And I think you're right.

I think it could be on the verge of becoming our national dish, Charlotte. Yeah, well, I'm down in Invercargill, and I'll tell you what, down south, you'll find them in every cafe. And you can get big ones and small ones. It's done to school fundraisers. And honestly. It's funny. they should do a graph because the cheese rolls get better

the further south you go in New Zealand. I had my first cheese roll in Bluff and it was a spiritual experience. I'm not going to lie. And you can't get much more south than that. Oh my God, it was the southest we could go. Southern sushi. Is that what you guys call it?

Some people do. Southern sushi. I love that. guys call it? Some people do. Southern sushi. I love that. Makes me think it's got fish in it. That's so good. Thanks, Charlotte. Let's go to Priscilla. Hi, Priscilla.

Hi, Priscilla. Hello. Tell us, a classic Kiwi meal, what are you serving? The best meal ever in a traditional way would be the boil up. The boil up. The boil up! Yeah, yeah. Oh, you've got to have the dough boys, the pork bones, the potatoes, the watercress, the kumara.

Honestly. Family of five. In my case, it'd be two pots. Two pots for a family of five. Two pots. Does that include fry bread? Because that might be the best thing I think I've ever eaten. You can't go wrong with fry bread.

If not a real one of bread, they do just as much justice. Shout out here in Auckland to Manaya Seafood Boil. I've been. Delish. Yeah? So good. Okay. Hey, thanks, Priscilla.

Great idea. Thanks, Priscilla. Hey, there is one more. Yeah? So good. Okay, hey, thanks, Priscilla. Great idea. Thanks, Priscilla. Hey, there is one more. Even a honey cooker. A honey cooker. Oh, those above-ground honey cooker things. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah.

We have one that we've had it for the last 30 years, and it's fed a family of 25. Would you say, Priscilla, it gets the job done? Yes, it definitely does. Three hours later, oh. Okay. And no hole. No hole in the backyard.

Thanks, Priscilla. We're looking for a traditional Kiwi meal. Someone said the big breakfast. I think that came from England. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, but every cafe's got a big breakfast on the menu, don't they? Oh, it does. It really does.

Roast lamb with potatoes cooked in the drippings, apple crumble with hokey pokey ice cream for dessert. Yes. You know what should be on the list is goody goody gumdrops. Goody goody gumdrops. That's super Kiwi. Someone said little red diddle sausages. Are you talking about Cheerios?

Cheerios, Savalois, whatever you call them. Let's just stick to calling them Cheerios. Some people call them little boys. No, we can't call them that anymore. No, that's what they're called. No, they're not. People call them little boys. No, we can't call them that anymore. No, that's what they're called. No, they're not. People call them little boys. Yeah, I know people do, but it's a slang term.

What's wrong with it? They look like little boys willies. That's why they call them that. No, I know. I know why. Yeah? Yeah. So what?

I don't understand. I don't understand why you're trying to cancel our cultural dish, little boys. Cheerios are one of the best things ever, but I'm not going to call it a little boy. What about a potato top pie? What about a potato top pie? Here's a good question, because you're from Australia. You've been here long enough now. Do they have potato top pies in Australia?

Have we found a uniquely, because we both have pies. There's a competition about whose pies are better. Are potato top pies unique to New Zealand? No, we've got them. Oh, shit. But they're better here. Okay. Does that count?

Yeah, it counts. They're way better here. That's something. Way better here. And someone said, guys, you're overthinking it. Cold beer, bangers and mash. Okay. Someone else said, oh, kiwi onion dip.

Kiwi onion dip for dinner. For dinner. Eat it with a spoon. It's good stuff. Not chips? Nah. Stuff the chips. Cos he lives. Cos he lives. Some late contenders, by the way, to a traditional kiwi meal that

you can prepare for people from overseas to give them a taste of kiwi culture. We didn't talk about fairy bread. Fairy bread's a great option. Yeah, fairy bread. Delicious. We didn't talk about fairy bread. Fairy bread's a great option. Yeah, fairy bread delicious. We didn't talk about smoked fish pie. God, there's some good fish pies in this country. And we didn't talk about deviled sausages.

Oh yeah, deviled sausages. Is deviled sausages the same as curried sausages? Yeah. Same thing. Yeah. Same, same. You can do it out of a can. Oh my god, how good is a deviled egg? Yeah, completely different conversation, though. I know, but it just made me think of it.

Are you a fan of the deviled egg? No, no, I am. My issue with deviled eggs is I'll have six or seven, whereas I would never usually eat six or seven. What's the issue? Eggs. Oh, very farty. You eat that many eggs with a bit of curry powder on them.

Ellie's giving it a thumbs up like it's a good time. Hell yeah. I'm not shying away. Yeah, it's a great time. Yeah. I'll eat those and the asparagus rolls. Yeah. Deviled sausages, though.

How good. Bree and Clint. Cool. Usually, Bree and I take on Ella Who's a bit of a musical savant as far as we're concerned She's got a musical ear but she's not here So it's just the two without musical ears going head to head today This should be fun

What we do is we have had our producers convert popular songs Songs you would hear on ZM usually into classical form There's no words, there's no beat. And we have to figure out what those are as quickly as possible. You can play along as well in the car, but we are playing for people at home, so this means war. Ellie has put these together. Hi, Ellie.

Hello there. You're highly stressed about this today. I know. Did you look at my face? It was like looming over you. I know. So I'm expecting big face? It was like, it was looming over you. I know. So I'm expecting big things like you put big pressure on it.

Oh no. I mean, it's not that great. Don't get your hopes up. I'm expecting you played all the instruments on these songs. Yes, Brie, that's exactly what I did.

That's why it took so long. I knew it. Okay. Should we just get into it? Is there anything we need to know? Nah, not really. No theme, no nothing like that.

Nah, sorry. No theme. No, no, that's that? Nah, sorry, no theme? No, no, that's okay. You don't need one. All right. That's all right. We're ready. All right.

Here's our first song. Here's our first song. I know it. Oh, yeah. Clint. Yes, Clint. Taylor Swift and... I don't think so. I'll just stop you right there, mate. Oh, really?

Yeah. Sorry, bro. Okay, we'll keep it going. Okay. I know it. Three? Yes. Is it Ed Sheeran?

Yep. Oh, it is. I don't know the name of it. Now that we know it. What is that? Oh, Clint, Clint, Clint, Clint, Clint, Clint. Ed Sheeran, I don't care. That's the one. I just had a song.

Why was that so hard? I reckon we've played that song on ZM 14,000 times. Yeah. Okay. One hard-fought point for Clint. I did half the work. Who's going to get this one? Brie.

Yes, Brie? That's Lady Gaga, Poker Face. Oh, I'm going to have to say that's wrong. Clint. Yes, Clint. That's Lady Gaga, Bad Romance. That is, yes. Oh, yeah!

Oh, yeah! Did the work again. You did. Can I get the three-peat this week with Bree doing half the work for me again? Let's just go for it. Oh. Oh! Oh, I know it.

What is that? Oh, it's old. It is a bit older, yes. Yeah. Oh, um... Clint. Oh! Oh! Oh! Wait.

That's Madonna in Material Girl. You little shit. I had that one. You did? Oh, no! Sorry. You're naughty. Sorry, but that might be the best stealable.

Hey, Johnny, congratulations. We've got 50 KFC chicken dollars coming your way. You're awesome. Thank you so much. You're welcome. No, you're welcome. I did most of the work, Johnny. Give Bree some credit.

Tell me thank you, Johnny. Well done and thank you. You're welcome, Johnny. You're welcome. You're welcome. Hey, I don't even know where I've got this idea from, but I wanted to have a conversation as radio broadcast professionals. Okay.

Whether... Finally, a conversation I'm qualified for. Yes, well, we're meant to be. Broadcast professionals. Okay. Whether... Finally, a conversation I'm qualified for. Yes. Well, we're meant to be. And actually people listening as well might be qualified to answer this because we might not be able to. Yeah. But I had a thought pop into my mind the other day where obviously, you know, we do this show and we broadcast around this beautiful country

into thousands, hundreds of thousands of people's cars every day. My question is, is it illegal for us to tell people where the speed cameras are? Is it illegal to ask the network of people that listen to this show to tell us where the speed cameras are in their area and then for us to give out that information? I'm not saying we're going to do it. So don't get the popo

around here, but I'm just wondering is it illegal? It's a good question. I don't know. Is it illegal? I've always wondered is it illegal after you drive past a speed camera to flash your headlights at oncoming cars to let them know that there's a speed camera coming up? I feel like that's illegal.

Is it? Because if that's illegal, then this is illegal. I feel like we'd be doing a good thing because, and hear me out, hear me out, I feel like we'd be doing a good thing because I think it would automatically make people slow down in those areas, which is what they want. Yeah, the idea of a speed camera is a deterrent. You know? Yeah, yeah.

The idea, speed camera's coming up, you're going to slow down. You're right. Actually knowing that a speed camera is there. Makes you slow down. Is safer than getting a speeding ticket. That's what I'm saying. Yeah, oh, yeah. So should we start a weekly segment or maybe even a daily segment?

I don't know. What are you talking about? We give out the information. Are you talking about fixed speed cameras or are you talking about those ones that the police officers set up? Not fixed because, I mean, you should know where those are if you're from that area. I'm talking about the ones, the mobile speed cameras where they set it up and it might be there one day and not there another day.

What about a police officer on the side of the road with a speed gun? That too. Right. We'll get them all. Why not? What would you do? Yeah. No, okay.

No, no. Do you feel like the police would come for us? I don't know. Like is it frowned upon by the police? There's only one way to find out, I guess. If you're a policeman or you work for the police, would you be able to arrest us for giving out that information? And are we

technically helping? Because we're slowing people down. Are we doing the people's work here? Someone texted in and said my iPhone maps tell me where fixed speed cameras are. Does it? I know that used to be a feature inside Waze maps. Oh yeah, my iPhone maps tells me where the fixed red light cameras are.

Really? And the speed cameras. I'm Australian and my friend got booked for flashing lights to warn other drivers of a speed camera. Wow. Okay, so you can get done in Australia. There's such party poopers over in Australia, though. All their fines are through the roof and they're so, like, crazy.

Here's another one. It's illegal to flash your lights because it's an obstruction of justice or some jizz. I imagine telling people would be much the same. Okay, so you're saying it could be illegal. I'm just saying, like, could be good for ratings for our show that people would know at this time every day we will give out the speed camera information.

We've just got to be willing to pay the fine. If we want to do it, if we do the crime, we've got to be willing to do the time. And you know that that tight-ass boss of ours, Ross Boss, is not going to foot the bill. I know, but if we want to be, and I'm just about to name our show something, this is going to be a new nickname for our show, if we want to be the Radio Robin Hoods, then we need to be willing to pay the fine.

Robbing from the rich and giving to the poor. Yeah, the rich being the government. Yeah, and the poor being us. I reckon, I feel like I just want to even do it once just to be like. Is there a lawyer who could tell us? Someone said it's not illegal but discouraged as it could impair... Vision. Oh, that's the

flashing your lights thing. Oh, the flashing... Yeah, no. I want to know can we... We were talking about specifically doing a radio segment explaining where the speed cameras are. Yeah, where we use our network of people who listen to this show to text us where the speed cameras are. Someone said my electric vehicle

tells me where speed cameras are. Okay. Yeah, the fixed ones. I'm talking the mobile ones. Oh, we've got a lawyer. Lawyer here. It's illegal and you'd probably get mega targeted. Lol. What do you mean? Like the mafia? Targeted by who? Like by what? Like with the police?

You reckon the police would follow us and give us speeding tickets? It's fine because I've got a really nonchalant personalised plate, so. Isn't your personalised plate lesh-go? That's what I mean. It's really common. I got flipped off by a police officer as I flashed my lights when he was speeding. There is nothing, there is nothing I love more than flashing my lights to tell the person coming the other way that there is a speed camera.

You genuinely feel like Robin Hood in that situation, don't you? I honestly feel like a superhero. Like I am, you know, just the greatest thing ever. I'm a bit choosy about who I flash to. Why? Like if the person coming towards me is clearly speeding and they're in like an a-hole car, I'm like, nah, you can have the ticket Really?

That's the power that you wield Wait, so what cars are a-hole cars? You know what, it's just a vibe Just a vibe A vibe? What about trucks? Nah, trucks, I'm on board with the truckies Yeah, right

Yeah, I stand with the truckies If I'm feeling real saucy, I'll give them a double flash Lights, camera action, you know what I'm saying? Now that is an obstruction. Bree and Clint. News out today that boomers are embracing a movement called SKI or S-K-I

which stands for Spending Kids Inheritance. And they're not leaving any money for the kids. I've also heard it called the skin club. The skin club. Spend the kids' inheritance now. Ooh.

Now. That's fun. And I think the ethos of that is spend it while you are still fit and healthy enough to enjoy it. Yeah. You know? My stance on this is I'm all for it. It's not our money, you know.

And I don't think when I look at my parents, my parents have worked their ass off their entire life. Yeah. Like they've worked so hard for what they have. I don't expect them to give me anything. No. I want them to enjoy their life. I want them to go on holidays, go on the trips,

buy the things you want to buy. I don't expect anything from them. Make some memories. And I know it's especially hard because there is all of this data and statistics that have come out where it talks about how a lot of us millennials and Gen Zers are not going to be able to buy a house. Yeah. But you shouldn't be relying and expecting the money from your parents. That's just how I feel about it. Yeah, yeah. I don't imagine they got a big inheritance from their parents. So, yeah, totally.

I just think it's a bit. Totally. I think some people get caught up in the fact that the boomers have the majority of the wealth at the moment and the wealth transfer, everybody's kind of hoping it happens at some stage that it comes down to the next generation. But if all of the boomers' wealth ends up in the P&O Cruise Company, then...

I mean, that's where it ends up. And then that's where it ends up. That's where it ends up. That's what they want to do. I'm sure we will fight once we get through... Look, guys, once we get through the current recession, I know we're just getting over the last recession, but once we get over this recession, I'm sure we're going to get

on top of this. Yeah, we'll bounce back. I'm sure. Yeah, we'll bounce back for sure. We're going to make our fortune, right? As our voices go real high pitched. But I just think that, yeah, you shouldn't expect. Yeah.

I mean, if your parents do end up giving you some money or helping you out with a deposit, that's amazing and awesome that your parents are in a situation where they can do that. But I feel like you should just not put any pressure on them that you expect it. What if you're steering your parents towards spending their money? I know it's their money, spending their money on assets that you might stand to inherit one day. You're like, you know what you guys should do for your retirement? You should buy this house in the Coromandel. You know, that'd be a great place for you guys.

I mean, that's what my dad's been doing. Yeah. Which, I mean, the assets he's choosing are a little bit skew-iff. Yeah. Like he's been, my dad has decided, because he's semi-retired and he's decided that in his semi-retirement to spend most of his money on collecting cars from Fast and the Furious Tokyo Drift. Like he bought the Godzilla.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And, you know. Well, that's an investment. It is an investment. It's an investment. 100%. But then my dad said to me, he's like, yeah, well all the cars will be going to your brother.

And I was like, what do you mean? Nah, that's not a quality. I think you should put into the will that we race. We race for the cars. We race for the cars. Yeah, yeah, for pick slips. If each kid gets to pick a car and we race. Like on grease.

Winner takes all. Like a need for speed. Yeah, what a great idea. You know? Yeah. My dad said we were going to inherit his motorbikes. He's got four kids. He had four motorbikes.

He said we were going to inherit his vintage motorbikes. Yeah. And he sold them. And I said, I thought we were going to inherit those. And he goes, no, I don't remember saying that. No. I'm keeping them. They're my bikes.

I will be buried with those bikes. I will be buried. We want to know this afternoon, what are your parents spending your inheritance on? What did your parents, what big purchase were you like, oh, that's a part of my inheritance? Or maybe it was a trip. Like what was it?

Yeah, maybe it's a wardrobe full of something. Yeah. Maybe it was tickets to go and see something that were crazy expensive. And look, you're happy for them. Happy for them. I mean, would love anything left over, but happy for them. The ski club, the spend the kids inheritance. What are your parents doing with it?

Oh, 800 dials at him. Bree and Clint. Have your parents gone skiing? Gone on a ski trip? Yeah, they're going on a big old ski trip. Spending the money on a ski trip. Spending kids' inheritance is what ski stands for. Apparently it's a trend that the boomers are loving.

Yeah, they're living it up while they still can, while they're fit and healthy enough to enjoy their money. It's their money. They earned it. It is their money. To the people who are texting us going, guys, we are not entitled to anything. It's their money. Yeah, we know. It's their money. They earned it. It is their money. To the people who are texting us going, guys, we are not entitled to anything. It's their money. Yeah, we know. It's their money. That's what we said.

Yeah. Yeah. We just does it mean we're not watching what they spend their money on? Of course we're watching. Of course we're watching. And of course we will all talk amongst our siblings and be like, oh, mum and dad spending their inheritance. And of course we're judging. Yeah. But we know it's their

money. But we want them to be happy and they deserve to spend their money on what they want. So we want to know, what is it that your parents are spending that money on? What is it going towards? Someone texted and said their parents are spending the inheritance on a $130,000 caravan. Wow.

I can one-up you. This person said my family bought a $250,000 motorhome which they use very, very rarely as they also bought a lifestyle block which uses up the majority of their

time looking after the animals. God, they went the double banger. You'd be judging that purchase. Because you'd be going, guys, you're not even using the motorhome and it's going down in value. You can't have both. Choose one. My wife's parents bought like an RV when they both retired. But New Zealand is so small that they did the whole country in a year,

like just doing small trips. And then they're like, well, we've done it now. Did they sell it? Yeah, they sold it. Yeah. Well, they wouldn't have lost that much. Nothing. Yeah.

So all good. Princess is here. Hi, Princess. Hi, Princess. Princess? Hello? Hello. What did your mum or dad, what did your parents spend your inheritance on, Princess?

They spent, it's my father-in-law. He just had a whole new set of teeth at 17. How much do you reckon the whole new set of teeth put him back? I've no idea, to be honest, but I know it's a lot of money. It can be 50K. Yeah, for a full set. How does he look, though? Has he got a whole new smile?

Well, he looks like he's a teenager, but with an old man's face. Hey, Princess, I'd love to know how white did he go? Yeah. Very white. Like, they do look like an American, you know, shiny white mouth. Oh, no. He always put a clinky style on his photo. He looks like Guy Smiley.

Princess, in your opinion, did he go too white? I was about 70, a bit much. Yeah, a bit much. Yeah. Okay, thanks, Princess. Let's go to Joe. Princess, in your opinion, did he go too wide? I was about 70, a bit much. Yeah, a bit much. Yeah. Okay, thanks, Princess. Let's go to Jo. Hi, Jo. Hi, Jo.

Hi there. Jo, what are your parents spending the inheritance on? Well, my mum's eating it in chunks, and she's just doing multiple Temu purchases every week. Oh, no, she's been bitten by the Temu bug. How bad, Jo? What's she buying? the Timu bug. How bad, Jo? What is she buying? Well, quite bad.

This week I was given a pineapple knife so I can easily core my pineapples and a little barbecue veggie spinner. Okay, did you want a pineapple knife? No. Or did you not know you needed one until you got one? Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's right. I'm surprised that these things exist, but keep finding them.

Yeah. Well, good news is you won't inherit any money, but you will inherit a bunch of worthless Teemu crap. That's right, yeah. Which will probably be broken before you get it. Oh, poor Joe. Someone texted her and said, my dad just bought a 1968 Chevrolet Chevelle.

That man has never been a car guy. He's just at that stage of his life. That's my dad. And if you asked him, he would go, no, no, no, I've always been a car guy. It's just I couldn't get the cars when I had you kids. But now I can. In fairness to my dad, he've always been a car guy. It's just I couldn't get the cars when I had you kids. Yeah. But now I can. In fairness to my dad, he has always been a car guy.

But he just seems to love a lot of different cars these days. Are your parents skiing, spending the kids' inheritance? Someone said, my parents are spending the inheritance on a cruising yacht. A cruising yacht? They already have one, but the one they have is not quote unquote comfortable. What the hell? Yeah, that's good. You know the parents are spending it all if they're buying a cruising yacht.

George is here. Hi, George. Hi, Georgia. Hello. Oh, sorry, George. George. No worries. George, what are your parents spending the inheritance on, mate?

Well, they just got back from a safari in Africa. So they went and saw all the lions. Oh, no. Absolutely everything. Like sunset, champagne, amazing. Oh, champagne safari. How good. Yeah.

Oh, it looked incredible. Photos I've seen. And in January. They would have taken those photos on an iPad as well. Oh, no. Dad's iPhone, though. Yeah, definitely loves his iPhone for photos. But, yeah, and then in January, they're off on the Heritage Expedition boat down to Antarctica for a cruise.

Far off, George. They couldn't have picked two more, like, expensive trips. I'm all for it. I think it's so cool. Because my dad has never been a very stop, relaxy kind of guy. But now that they're doing all these things that they can, I think it's absolutely wonderful.

Oh, how good. That's awesome. Do you want to do ballpark? How much do you think the safari trip in Africa would have cost, George? I don't care. I don't know. Yeah, I don't ask dollars.

It's none of my business. 50 grand. I'm just floating numbers. No, it wouldn't have been that much. 20. That's worth every penny. A trip like that. Thanks, George. Some more things your parents are spending the inheritance

on. My dad's collecting walking sticks. He has hundreds. Walking sticks? Those would be useful for him. My parents are spending the inheritance on. My dad's collecting walking sticks. He has hundreds. Walking sticks? Those would be useful for him. My parents are spending the inheritance on surgery because the public system waitlist is too long. They've spent $100,000 so far. $100k. That's wild. My parents sold everything they

had and moved to Rarotonga. They are living the life. That's awesome. That's such a good decision. Someone else said, haha, not getting any inheritance. Maybe a 2008 Toyota Yaris. Oh, yeah, like Bree's dad's car collection. That thing will only go up in value. Yeah. I mean, that's only, yeah,

that's only going to get... Yeah. It's a Yaris. It's a 2008 though. Have you got a Yaris? No. No? I don't know anyone with a Yaris. They're very rare. Yeah, they're getting rarer and rarer. Yeah, it's basically a classic car. Let's do a birthday banger next.

If you want to know the number one song on your 16th birthday, you need to call 0800-DIAL-ZM. Bree and Clint. Bree and Clint. All I want for my birthday is a birthday banger. Welcome along to Birthday Banger. Number one songs when you turn 16. If you've ever wondered what yours is,

that's what we do here. Laura's going to go first. Kia ora, Laura. Hi, Laura. I'm the kind of girl who... I am a banger. I'm going to put the energy out there.

We are hoping for good things. Okay, you're looking to manifest a banger for your birthday banger, Laura. Yeah. Okay. All right. The best.

The best one. We've got the faith, Laura. We need your birthday and let, Laura. Yeah. Okay. All right. The best. The best one. We've got the faith, Laura. We need your birthday and let's do this dance. Okay, cool. 7th of October, 86. All right, Laura. That means you were 16 in 2002

and on your 16th, this was at the top. I mean... at the top. I mean... I don't want to presuppose how you feel about it, Laura, but I think that's pretty good. It goes well with bangers. It was good. I was hoping for 50 cents, but if I was drunk enough,

I'd be into that. If I was drunk enough, I'd be into that. Everyone, when they're drunk enough, is into that song. Ketchup on bangers. It's the ketchup song. Okay, wait there. We're going to do Caroline's birthday banger. Hi, Caroline.

Hi. How's your day been, mate? Oh, busy, really busy, but good. Good to hear. Hopefully you're on the way home. Let's get you there. What's your date of birth? 17th of March, 79.

Right. That means you were 16 in 1995. And back in the 90s, this had a number one hit. I said I would. Do you think you are? Do you think you are? Oh, the Spice Girls. 1995, the year of the Spice Girls.

What do you reckon, Caroline? Yeah, not feeling the vibes, really. Oh, no. You're not feeling it. What was a 16-year-old Caroline listening to in 1995? Oh, look, I can't even remember back that far. Yeah. It wouldn't have been that.

Wouldn't have been that. Okay. Wouldn't have been that. We'll do one more birthday banger for Ellen. Kia ora, Ellen. Hi, Ellen. Hello. How's your day been?

Not too bad. Pretty good. What have you been up to? Just at work all day. Are you at home now, on your way home? Yeah, on my way home. Good to hear. What is your birthday, Ellen?

3rd of August, 2000. It's coming up. You were 16, though, in 2016. And, Ellen, here's your birthday banger. I need a one dance. Got an NAC in my hand. One more time before I go. I hope I was taken home.

Uh-oh. Uh-oh. Bit of one dance. Drizzy Drake, one dance. What do you reckon? That was so great. Nah. BBL Drizzy.

BBL Drizzy. BBL Drizzy. I'd rather play BBL Drizzy. Oh, you can't win them all, Ellen. Not with that. You can't win them all and you won't win today because I'm not voting for it. What are we voting for, though? I'm voting the Spice Girls. I know Caroline wasn't feeling the vibe,

but that is a straight-fire banger in my eyes. You better get your decision face on, Ellie, because I'm voting for the catch-up song, which means we go to a split vote, and you will have the deciding vote. And I know you're not picking Drake. Yeah, I'm not picking Drake, sorry. Never going to pick Drake.

But I reckon today I'm feeling the Spice Girls. I'm feeling the girls. Yes. Yeah. I love the catch-up song, but it does get a bit repetitive. It does. Yeah. Whereas this.

Oh, man, this is lyrical genius at work. Amen. Caroline, congratulations. You're the winner of Birthday Banger today. Oh, awesome. Just for you, Caroline. Yeah, she loves it. The year was 1995. Oh, awesome. Just for you, Caroline. Yeah, she loves it.

The year was 1995. And this song was number one when Caroline was turning 16. Brianne Clint at ZM. Brianne Clint. The Spice Girls and Who Do You Think You Are. Look, this is slightly embarrassing. No, it's not. I'm not embarrassed.

We're a producer down. We're under the pump. Birthday Banger takes a lot of manpower behind the scenes. There's a lot going on and a mistake was made. I will own it. I've made a mistake. I don't think you need to. I was about to say in six years, I think we've only had to issue a Birthday Banger retraction probably twice so I think that's pretty good pretty good numbers yeah we're working pretty hard behind

the scenes here to get that on the air Caroline breaking news that is not your birthday banger I'm trying for something that's not the Spice Girls you're you were 16 in 1995 the Spice Girls didn't exist until 1996 so that can't be your birthday banger. Oh, that's good to know. I am interested to know if you're going to like your actual birthday banger better, Caroline. Are you ready to hear it? Yeah, go for it.

Okay. What's your date of birth again? You were 16 in 1995, and Caroline, this is your birthday banger. Another night, another dream, and Caroline, this is your birthday banger. It might be getting worse for Caroline. The real McCoy in Another Night. What do you reckon?

I think I'll keep the spice pills. Oh, damn, I thought we might haveice Girls. Oh, damn it. I thought we might have cranked you. I thought that might be... Bargain, Caroline. It's worth a shot. Never mind. Never mind. Never mind.

No regrets. No regrets. Still choosing the Spice Girls. Although I might have chosen that Real McCoy song if that had come up. You didn't even choose the Spice Girls. You chose the Ketchup song. Oh, yeah, true.

But this is not my fault at all then. This has nothing to do with me. Yeah, for once it's actually not your fault. Bree and Clint. There was a conversation we had off air last week. Do you recall this conversation where I said I believed that you guys say words the same. Like you're saying two different words but it sounds like the same word to me.

I do but you're going to need to elaborate. So I believe that there's certain words that some Kiwis say that sound the same. And this is by pure coincidence but a video came up on my tiktok today where i feel like i might not be alone okay take a listen i'm a kiwi and my boyfriend is english and he thinks that i say words and they sound the exact same like two different words are the same but they don't so we're going to test them do Do you want to hear some examples? I mean, they do quite a lot. I've just pulled out a couple.

Here's the first one. Ben and Ben. Ben, Ben. That doesn't sound the same. Ben, Ben. Ben, Ben. That doesn't sound the same. Does that sound the same to you? Do we sound the same when we're saying Ben and Ben?

Here's the next one. Bag. And. Beg. Beg. Beg. It's not the same. It's not the same.

Beg. And beg. Bag like baggy groceries and beg like beg for money. No. Beg. Oh, beg. Oh, God.

And beg. Beg, big and bag big bag and bag do what should we go through a few these are a couple that i've picked up on since living here i've been here like seven years and i still to this day get confused because i feel like some of these you guys do kind of sound the same. Okay, okay, okay. So the talk show host who got cancelled, short hair, she's gay. What's her name? Yeah. Ellen. And then how would you say A-L-L-A-N? Ellen.

Ellen. Ellie, you need to jump in on this because let's go Ellie's name. This is my name. So Ellie. With an E. Ellie, yeah. With an A. Ellie.

Like a laneway. Ellie. Do her name. Ellie. The other one. Ellie. Oh. But I know the difference.

It's the same. I know the difference. It's the same. But do you think it kind of sounds the same? Oh no doubt But I don't know how to make it sound different So you with your exotic Australian accent Give me an Ellie and an Ellie

Which way? Okay what's her name? What's her name? Ellie And what's that path over there? Ellie And what's her name? Ellie

And that? Ellie So if she went down that pathway, what would it be? Ellie going down an alley. Yeah, wow, it is quite different when you say it. Ellie going down an alley. Oh, that was better. Okay, let's go.

There's one more that it really confuses me. Yeah. Was one woman. Yeah. To what? Women. Oh, that was good from you, Ellie. You have to go one woman, one woman, two women.

No. To be fair, I think I do just lazily say it the same way. One woman to woman. I've heard so many Kiwis say it like that. You've touched on a nerve. What? Some international listeners are texting in. They said I'm a saffir.

Kiwis can't say beer, bear or beer. Beer as in the animal. Beer as in the drink. And bear as in to bear your soul. A bear and beer. Whoa, those are two very different words. They are, aren't they? We're lazy down here in New Zolland, aren't we?

I like it. It's so fun. I want honest truth. Give me the drink. Okay, beer. Give me the animal. Beer. Yeah, same, same.

It's the same. If I had to beer my soul to a beer while holding a beer. You'd be in trouble. They wouldn't know what the hell you're talking about. It would be unbearable. Love to know what the other words are. If you've got any, you can text them to us. Yeah, text them through our 9696.

Oh, so interesting. Kiwis don't have a bloody vowel among you. Bree and Clint. This is reason for New Zealanders to take a good hard look at ourselves because we're getting some outside opinion on how we talk and it is not good. It is not good. I have always thought this since moving here

that there's certain words that you guys say, to you they sound different. To me it sounds like you're saying the exact same word. Like Ellie and Allie. You guys say Ellie and Allie. And I think back to like primary school where I'm pretty sure we were raised

to think they, we were told they're the same word just spelt different. What? Like Ellie and Ellie. You're kidding me. I know. Like a beer and a, what are you saying? A bear. A bear. A bear. A bear in the woods.

It's the same word kids but spelt different. Yes, I think you saying, a bear. A bear. A bear. A bear in the woods. Yeah. It's the same word, kids, but spelt different. Yes, I think you're right, Clint. That is how we were taught, eh? Oh, that's where the problem has started. Yes. Actually, you should be drinking a beer in the woods. Next to a bear. Next to a bear.

A bear. Why do you do it like that? I love this text that's come through just on the alley and Ellie thing. Yeah. Someone said, this is so validating. My husband works with an Ali and an Ellie, and I never know which one he's talking about. He's a Kiwi, and I'm originally from the US. Oh, wow.

My Kiwi wife was in the UK, and she asked the guy at the hardware store for some pigs, and he said, we don't sell pigs. Pigs and pigs. Oh, that's so good. Someone said, what about pen and pin? Yeah, right. You guys say it. Which one? Okay, so what

you write with a? Pen. And then you can put a what in it? Pen. Similar. Some are worse than others. Yeah, I'm noticing our I's and our E's are very similar So Ben, bin Pen, pen Dick and deck

Is coming through hot That's a classic one Sit on the deck Sit on my deck Careful Careful now What about here and pear, someone said. What?

Here and pear. Oh. Here and there? Here and pear. No. No, no, no, no. They mean pear as in the fruit and then pear as in the thing that goes out over the water. Wait, a pear?

A pear that you eat. Yeah. And then Brighton pear. Oh, or a pair of shoes. Okay, let's do a test. Let's do a test where you just have to say the word and in your mind, in your mind, and I have to guess which one you're talking about.

Okay. Yeah, bin. It's a bin. That I put rubbish in? Yes. Correct. Pin. Put a pin in it.

Yeah, correct. But I meant to say pin, damn it. What else is coming up? Pear. Ooh. Fruit. Yeah. So you've lived here long enough.

I think you might have got it. I was going to say I can translate now for the Kiwis. Someone said I can't understand you Kiwis when you're trying to tell me the difference between Korea the country, Korea the job, and Korea the person who delivers your packages. Oh yeah. That's a tough one.

What about, someone said the way Kiwis say major. Major. Major? Major. Major? Or do they mean major? Or do they mean mayor? I don't know. Eight. An eight. There's no difference between those two words.

Ate the number and ate some food. I ate some food and ate. It sounds a little bit different, but that one's quite hard. Yeah, that one's quite similar. Really posh people would say ate. What, for ate? No, ate some food. I ate some food.

Oh, I don't associate with people that use that. No. All right. Well, something to work on, I guess. Got to get the jaw moving. Yeah. No, I like it. I think it's quite endearing.

Ferry and fairy. Ferry the boat and ferry the mythical creature are pronounced differently. Yes. Okay, how would you do it, Brie? A fairy. So like as in? Ferry to Waiheke? Yes. No. Okay, how would you do it, Brie? A fairy. So like as in? Fairy to Waiheke? Yes.

No. Oh, I thought same Clint. A fairy to Waiheke. Okay. And a fairy. Oh. So you really elongate the AI. The fairy.

There's a macron on top. This feels like dumb dumb hours, eh? This feels like cabbage mess all over hours, eh? This feels like cabbage mess all over again. Guys, potato, potato. Sitting on the toilet. Do you remember that? What was it? Do you remember that? Do you guys remember? Whoa.

My brain just had this flashback. It was a viral TikTok? Or was it like a YouTube video? I feel like it was a viral TikTok back in lockdown. Do you remember Ellie? Yeah. Yeah, it was a little YouTuber, I think, sitting on the toilet. Sitting on the toilet.

And I'll flush. Yeah, that was super viral. Well, that's a throwback. This is quite interesting. There's a study that's been done revealing why people spend more time in the bathroom these days. Specifically on the toilet? Yes.

Okay. Well. Or everything. It kind of alludes that it's toilet. But I think the bathroom is what they're saying. But they surveyed around 2,000 people and found that 43%, so nearly half of those people, like to lock themselves away to enjoy the quiet,

with 13% seeking peace from their partners. Isn't that crazy? People with kids will relate to this hard, it's a little bit of alone time. And it's scrolling time for people who take their phone into the toilet. It goes into details about how long exactly people are spending on the toilet. So this is a study that's done over in the UK, but it says here that Brits spend about an hour and 54 minutes each week.

What? In the lavatory. So two hours almost. So that equates, I've done the math, to almost one working day per month. Wow. On the toilet. Wow. Just sitting on the throne.

It also highlighted. Two hours a week. How long is that per session? That's crazy. Yeah, Two hours a week. How long is that per session? That's crazy. Yeah, two hours a week. But then obviously they have also broken it down into different age groups and which age group spends the most time on the toilet. Yeah, yeah.

Who do you think... Do they do genders? Yes. We'll get into that afterwards. Who do you think, what is the age group that is spending, and we're talking like, you know. A lot. Like we'll go 18 to 25, 25 to 30, 30 to 35, 35 to 40,

so on and so forth. It's men in their 40s. I don't know about the gender, but we're just doing age. Okay, people in their 40s. People in their 40s. Ellie? Yeah, I would say parents. I'm going to go between 35 and 45.

Yeah. Okay. It said that those aged between 18 to 24 spend the most time in the bathroom. Ah. Averaging. So the average was an hour and 54 minutes. This age group. A week. Yeah. averaging, so the average was an hour and 54 minutes. This age group, a week, averages two hours and 36 minutes per week. Oh, my goodness.

It's the phones. It's the TikTok. It must be. Yeah. It must be. In terms of gender, men are more likely to spend more time in the bathroom, averaging two hours a week compared to women, which is an hour and 42.

That's interesting when we've got more to do, if you know what I mean. We do. Yeah. I've always found you guys to be very in and out. We're good. We're efficient. Yeah.

We are quite efficient in the toilet. I wouldn't describe myself as efficient at all. I'd describe myself as... What's the longest time? Like, what do you think is an appropriate amount of time to be in the lavatory before it's like what's going on there? You know when one of your legs starts to go numb

or you get pins and needles or you get up off the toilet and the toilet seat is kind of stuck to your thighs a little bit and if you were, not that I ever would, but if you were to turn around and look at your bare bum in the mirror there would be a ring. Be an indent Yeah Sometimes I love nothing more than just sitting on the toilet though were to turn around and look at your bare bum in the mirror, there would be a ring. Be an indent. Yeah.

Sometimes I love nothing more than just sitting on the toilet, though. Yeah. Same. Especially in the morning when you're kind of waking up. Yeah. You're like, I'm going to sit here for 20 minutes. I would say treat yourself to a flush. Stay in there as long as you want,

but treat yourself to a flush early in the piece. I always do. I always do an early flush. Yeah, for sure. And if you've done a flush, I mean, you could put the seat down then and just keep sitting, couldn't you? Yeah, absolutely. Well, there you go.

That's the results from how long you're sitting on the toilet. Sitting on the toilet. And then a flush. ZM's Brand Clint. On Insta. Facebook. TikTok. And live weekdays from 3 on ZM. Feed Clint on Insta, Facebook, TikTok and live weekdays from 3
