Shapeshifter is from New Zealand.

God, that's confusing.
I love Shapeshifter though as well.
Yeah.
From New Zealand.
And I love this Shapeshifters song.
This is a great song.
Don't know if they've got any others.
How did you not pick up what the song was from me singing it?
I mean, it was good.
I'm a different person.
Did you know that's what the words said?
No.
Turn my world around.
It was very hard to pick up what song.
Ben, how much do we allow before we get sued by the record company?
About that.
They'll do it then.
I heard an Avicii song today.
He's pretty good, eh?
It wasn't one of the Super super common ones
I got pumped for ages
Do you know the one I'm talking about?
Do you know the name of it?
If you don't know it I think I know it
I don't know it, you play it and I'll see if it is
It's the original song
That blew Avicii up
Let me find it
Aloe Black's on it
Oh that one
Aloe Black's done quite a few with him.
But this one wasn't as popular
as
Wake Me Up and stuff. Was it
SOS?
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
SOS is very good.
Is it Wake Me Up?
Oh, yeah. I can feel it.
Not this one?
Oh, maybe it was this one
This is not the one I thought it was going to be
Oh yeah and this one was like
Cops
Pick me up from the underground
Yeah it's this one
Yeah that's it
Oh it was this one
Yeah
It was this one
This one came out after he died I think
Yeah it did too
Who the f...
Loads a seven second hook into the system
It could be more than just part time lovers
Bloody crazy person
Oh, this is good, I like this
I wonder what it says like that
Oh, that's so bad
I thought it was going to be
The one with the guy pushing the rock up the hill
No that's Levels
Levels
Levels is like one of his biggest songs
Yeah I thought you were going to say
Levels
But you were saying it's an off brand Avicii song
I think it was that song because you're right
It did come out after he passed away
I thought you were going to say this one
Oh yeah this is a good song.
Hey something?
Hey brother.
No.
I could be the one.
Do you think about me when the day's gone?
Remember the Hey Brother song?
Great song.
That's what I thought it was.
Do you speak?
I played a festival one time,
the first festival I ever got to DJ at,
and Avicii was the headline act,
and I was the opening act, so we couldn't be further apart um but because of that i had a backstage pass
so i could hang out in the area where all the artists were and it was when avicii was as big
as avicii got and they shut there's so many rules for avicii showing up they shut everything down
i just managed to just be low-key and I didn't get kicked out of there.
He came in in the back of an Audi SUV and he sat on his laptop the whole time
and no one could be there.
He sat there with headphones on.
He was probably prepping his set,
but he didn't look up.
He looked fricking miserable.
And then he was told when to go on stage.
He walked on stage,
hit play,
kind of looked at the ground the whole time
and then came off,
got in the car, and left.
And I was like, man, that guy's not enjoying himself.
He's burnt out.
Yeah, poor guy.
Yeah.
But at the same time, I was like, wow, this is some big dog shit.
I went to an Avicii concert, and for anyone that's from Brisbane,
I went to watch him at River Stage,
which is one of the coolest frickin' venues.
River Stage, motherfucker.
That one.
Yeah.
Anyway, it's a very cool venue.
It's like on the water and it's all grass and it's just very cool.
And I remember I went with a guy that I was co-hosting a radio show with at the time, Gawndy.
Yeah.
And you know what this asshole did?
It was very early on in my radio career.
Pushed you in the river.
No.
So he has darted off and he's like, oh, I'm going to go see such and such
and blah.
And I was like, yeah, that's cool.
I'm going to stay with these people.
And then right towards the end of the night,
he has sent me a photo that's from backstage and Avicii's standing there
and then you can just see the massive crowd.
Yeah.
And so he sent me this photo and he's like, oh, my God, backstage.
Come to, you know, stage left now if you blah, blah, blah want to come.
Anyway, I like freaked out and I raced or whatever and he goes,
nah, just kidding, it's a picture from Google.
Oh.
And I was like a little bit drunk so I had no idea what was going on.
I'm going to use that.
Yeah, just Google a picture and it looks like you're backstage.
Yeah, it's quite funny.
I had kind of the opposite of that.
I used to do a show with Megan from Fletch, Fletch, Fletch and Megan.
And her biggest band crush at the time was Muse. And at the Big Day Art, which was a festival back in the day, from Fletch, Fletch, Fletch, Fletch, Fletch, Fletch, Fletch, Fletch, Fletch, Fletch, Fletch, Fletch, Fletch, Fletch, Fletch, Fletch, Fletch, Fletch, Fletch, Fletch, Fletch, Fletch, Fletch, Fletch, Fletch, Fletch, Fletch, Fletch, Fletch, Fletch, Fletch, Fletch, Fletch, Fletch, Fletch, Fletch, Fletch, Fletch, Fletch, Fletch, Fletch, Fletch, Fletch, Fletch, Fletch, Fletch, Fletch, Fletch, Fletch, Fletch, Fletch, Fletch, Fletch, Fletch, Fletch, Fletch, Fletch, Fletch, Fletch, Fletch, Fletch, Fletch, Fletch, Fletch, Fletch, Fletch, Fletch, Fletch, Fletch, Fletch, Fletch, Fletch, Fletch, Fletch, 45 minutes. Oh no. She didn't reply. We were interviewing Muse in half an hour. She didn't reply. We were interviewing
Muse in 15 minutes. She didn't reply.
And then I had to do the interview by
myself. Did you call her?
Yeah, I called her. Of course I called her.
Of course I called her. I tried everything. Nothing was going
through. And then afterwards
I saw her and she's like, where have you been? And I was like,
interviewing Muse. And she's like, oh yeah, fuck off you have.
I was like, no, I literally interviewed Muse.
You were meant to be there
but I couldn't reach you
yeah
yeah
that sucks so much
that sucks so much
that poor girl
yeah
yeah
I've been to a Muse concert
it was the sickest thing ever
it's crazy eh
the lights
the lasers
and the stage production
and just
and Matt Bellamy's
an incredible guitarist.
Unbelievable.
So talented.
Yeah.
And then all their songs started to sound a little bit the same.
Is that all right to say?
Yeah, a little bit.
Because they're all so big and anthemic.
And then they're like, oh, my God, these guys are going to be the new queen.
Where do you go to from there?
And then where do you go to from there, right?
Yeah.
Tell you where you go to.
What's the best rule?
You go to the Brisbane Stadium, which is called... Oh, I missed it.
God damn it!
Damn it!
River Stadium, motherfucker.
Probably a little bit too much music now, Clint.
Oh, yeah, pull that out.
Sorry, the record labels are watching.
I don't want to be the...
What's the best festival you ever went to?
Rhythm and Vine's 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015.
Yeah, you guys don't have all that many festivals.
Mine was Listen Out in Australia, in Melbourne.
Listen Out is crazy.
It was the coolest day.
Such a good festival.
ASAP, it was ASAP.
It was ASAP.
It was Brockhampton.
Oh, Skrillex.
I've seen Skrillex at a festival.
He was unreal.
He's amazing.
It was so good.
Remember when he did stuff with Justin Bieber on that first album
when Justin Bieber came back?
Great album.
And Diplo.
And Diplo, yeah.
It was crazy.

Should have asked that to Ben.

Ask Anastasia.
Hodeke actually used to have Hauraki branded

Sweet towels. I've never heard of them before.
Number three towels.

Hey, Google.
What's the time?

Give or take a minute.
Alexa, play ZM on iHeartRadio.
Playing ZM on iHeartRadio.
Hey Siri, when are Bree and Clint on?
Bree and Clint are on air in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
Kia ora everybody and welcome to the show, it's Bree and Clint.
Wednesday, eh?
Yeah.
Cherry blue.
I had a terrifying fact this morning.
What is it?
Let this sink in.
People, kids today, who are reminiscing about the 90s
or who are like thinking about the 90s or talking about the 90s,
to them, the 90s are what the 60s were to us in the 90s.
So kids today talking about the 90s are what the 60s were to us in the 90s. Huh?
So kids today talking about the 90s,
it's like us in the 90s talking about the 60s.
That's how long ago the 90s is to them.
Jesus.
Yeah.
Very different times, though, the 90s and the 60s.
Yeah, and today.
Yeah, but I feel like the 90s and today
are a lot more similar than the 90s and the 60s. No, but
you think that. It's more about going
No, it is though. But they don't necessarily think that.
It's more going kids these days who
didn't live in the 90s who are talking about the 90s
they view the 90s the
same way as long ago as we viewed
the 60s. No, no, I get it. I'm just
saying in terms of
how close those decades
are. I don't think women could even vote in the 60s.
Yeah, they could.
Not the 1860s.
When could women vote?
Late 1800s, I think.
When were women...
What's your guess?
I'm going to say 1890.
We should know this.
Kate Shepard campaigned for it in New Zealand.
Are we talking in New Zealand?
Yeah.
1893.
I think New Zealand was the first country to give women the vote.
Yeah, so that's not a good example because New Zealand's first in nearly everything.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Okay.
Australia was the year after.
Yeah.
That's unusual.
1894.
1894.
And America? They're still getting around to it, aren't they? I don't think it's available. Australia was the year after. Yeah, 1894. 1894 in America.
They're still getting around to it, aren't they?
I don't think it's available.
They still haven't had a female leader.
No, it's not available.
They've got a lot of catching up to do.
There you go.
1920.
Really?
Yeah.
Yeah, see?
Today on the show, men and women have the chance to win $20,000 from ZM's The Box.
If you can crack the four-digit code.
It's a four-letter word.
If you've got a word that you think will open it,
get through at 4 o'clock or 5 o'clock this afternoon
and we'll give you a go.
A clue for you, it's not free.
Noir is an N-O-I-R, the French word, or soil.
Like a pinot noir.
Yeah, like pinot noir.
Yeah, that's the example I would have given.
It's none of those.
What does Noir mean?
Dark?
Aroma?
Should I Google it?
No, we don't have time.
We're going to do Tradie vs Lady next, though.
50 bucks thanks to KFC.
If you would like to win that, give us a call right now.
Question number one.
When will we be given the vote?
Question number two.
What does No noir mean?
Is L-A-B on, is it M?
Bree and Clint.
Bree and Clint.
Trading versus lady.
If you're playing along at home, noir, thank you everyone on the text machine,
means black in French.
So black box is what they were going for, I guess, with that guess on the box.
Noir. Oh yeah, that makes sense.
More questions like that
coming up in Tradie vs Lady. All you need to
do is get three correct and you'll pick up
50 bucks. Our tradie today is a
lady. She's 22 and she's from
Auckland. She recently left university
to become a tradie. It's Shania.
Hello, Shania.
Hello, Shania. Cool, Shania. Hello.
Cool name, by the way.
What trade have you gone into?
More so working for a trade store.
Got it, got it, got it. Love it.
Okay, you'll be taking on our lady today.
She is 20.
She's from the Tron,
and she lives in a tiny house.
Oh, my God.
Welcome to the show, Tony.
Tony, I'm obsessed with tiny houses.
Hello, thank you very much.
Can you tell me everything about it?
How many square feet?
Oh, I don't know.
It's actually only eight by four.
Whoa.
Yeah, that's a small house.
Oh, yeah, that's pretty small.
Do you have a bunk bed above the oven?
Oh, so many questions.
Okay, your question, your buzzer is Lady.
Tony and Shania, yours is Tradie.
Good luck, everybody.
Here comes question number one.
Question number one.
It was announced today that the next America's Cup
will not be held in Auckland.
Name one part of a boat.
Lady.
Tony.
Yes, Tony.

Perfect.
A sail is correct.
Arguably the most important part of the boat.
Question number two.
Granny Smith, jazz and lemonade are all varieties of...
Pretty.

Apple.
That is correct.
Dang it.
One each.

I don't know.
Yeah, I got Shania just.
Is the name of the show?
Yes.
What was the name of the show?
The Tiger King?
It is.
Tiger King.
No.
Two to the tradies, one to the ladies.
You need this one here, Tony.
Question number four.
The 13th season of Big Brother Australia is currently going to air,
available on TVNZ On Demand.
Has there ever been a New Zealand version of the show?
Trading.
Shania, for the win.
No.
No.
No, there has never been.
And you pick up 50 bucks for knowing that, Shania.
Thank you so much.
That was a complete gift.
You're very welcome.
Oh, we couldn't tell, Shania.
The New Zealand version would be called Big Bro.
Bree and Clint.
Guys, I've got some big news in my world.
Do you guys recall when I created the
segment, What's Your Gadget?
What's your gadget? Tell me what's
your gadget.
What's your gadget? Tell me
what's your gadget.
I do. What's your gadget?
Tell me what's your gadget.
Is it done?
No, it's done. I do remember it.
I remember the theme song being more in tune than that. Is it done? No, it's done. I do remember it. It was a big hit.
I remember the theme song being more in tune than that.
Yeah, same.
Yeah, right?
It hasn't aged well.
I reckon it's something to do with sitting in the file section.
So correct me if I'm wrong, What's Your Gadget was you ring us
and tell us your favourite kitchen gadget when we did it, right?
What's the best kitchen gadget in your opinion that you've got?
Because there's so many cool ones out there these days.
But I've got something else to bring to what's your gadget.
Yeah.
In my family at the moment,
there's been discussions of this one particular new,
would you say, I'd say a household gadget.
Sure.
And I'm very excited about it.
And I realise... this is a prospective purchase
it's not one you've already made i've done my research i'm gonna make it you want this gadget
but you don't have it i want this gadget real bad yeah and i've realized how old i am with how
excited i am about this particular gadget do i have it no i don't have it i don't believe you've
got it something that i don't have I believe it's quite a niche product.
Okay.
It's not like a, you know, something that everyone would have.
Right.
But some people would have it.
Okay.
I'll play along.
What's your gadget?
Clinton Roberts.
The gadget I'm talking about is the Bissell Spot Clean Turbo Carpet Cleaner.
What is that?
It's where you put the water into the machine.
Oh, my God.
And it cleans carpets.
And couches.
And couches.
And curtains.
It cleans curtains.
It cleans rugs.
I've seen these.
It cleans everything.
And it shoots the water into it and you drag it.
You know what else?
You can clean the back of your car.
There's carpet in there.
You can clean the footwells of your car.
It's a rug doctor, but you get to keep it at your house.
That's exactly what it is.
Can you please buy this and then I can borrow it?
Yeah.
Yes.
I'm so excited.
I'm definitely buying it.
How much is it to own your own rug doctor?
It's not cheap.
Yeah?
But look, I'm going halves with my partner.
Yeah.
It's $440.
Oh, that's not too bad.
It's pretty good.
You'll use it.
I'm sure that's how much it costs to rent a rug, Doctor, anyway.
Yeah, yeah.
I mean, and we'll use it so much.
You'll use it for everything.
You'll clean everything.
There's so much carpet.
Can you do coats?
Could you clean your coats with it?
Probably.
Probably, eh?
Probably.
Steam them, yeah.
You and I are so similar because I've got a gadget too.
What's the gadget?
And it's pretty much in the exact same arena.
You know robo vacuums?
Yes.
They do one if you've got wood floors or like lino, they do one that mops your floor.
Oh, that's good.
It's called an iRobot, like it's called an iRobot iMop or something and it drives around
by itself and it knows where everything is and it does a little squirty squirt.
It's got a water tank, it squirts the floor and then it goes over and it cleans the floor where it's been.
You never have to mop because I hate mopping.
A street cleaner but for your house.
Exactly right.
That's a robot.
Yeah.
I love that idea.
I reckon if I got the iRobot vacuum
and then the iRobot mop.
And then you set them up to do doggy style cleaning.
Yeah.
That's what you call it, eh?
So one goes and then the other follows straight up the rear.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Can you imagine?
The floors would be spotless.
The vacuum one's going in front and the mop one is just squirting from behind.
Exactly.
Perfect.
I need both those because I don't have a robo-vac either.
These are great gadgets.
And I also love hearing about other people's gadgets.
So I reckon we should ask everybody what's your gadget.
What's your gadget?
What's the gadget you really, really want?
Yeah.
Slash you want to boast about that everyone should get?
Yeah.
0800 dial ZM.
What's your gadget?
Yes.
Tell me what's your gadget.
Or you can text us on 9696.
You know that mop one?
Yeah.
It's $1,400.
$1,400.
Just get one of the rug doctor things.
Yeah, but the other ones are robots, you know?
Bree and Clint.
We're asking you this afternoon, what's your gadget?
What's your gadget?
Tell me what's your gadget.
What's your gadget?
Tell me what's your gadget. What's your gadget? Tell me what's your gadget.
What's your gadget?
Why is it so long? Tell me what's your gadget.
I'm so out of tune.
Oh, I wish it was longer.
Yeah, me too.
We are romanticising gadgets that we don't have at the moment.
If you'd asked me this six months ago, Brie,
I would have been air fryer, air fryer, air fryer.
That's not you. Now I've got an air fryer, air fryer, air fryer. That's not you.
Now I've got an air fryer.
You've moved on from it.
Yeah.
So what I mean by that is just know that dreams can come true.
And you can get these things.
Even if you don't have the gadget you're dreaming of right now,
just keep dreaming because you might achieve it one day.
It's true.
Like Brie and her rug doctor.
I'm in the market for a spot clean turbo carpet cleaner.
You can do it yourself.
You put it on as a backpack and on the couch, on the carpet, on the rugs.
You don't even have much carpet.
All the room, all the bedrooms.
Oh, do they?
Right.
And to be honest, with the dog, good thing when she poos and she vomits.
Oh, mate, I'm not talking you out of it because I want to borrow it.
I want one of those iRobots that mop the floors of your house
and we want to know this afternoon,
what's your gadget that you're dreaming of?
Rachel's here.
Hi, Rachel.
Hi, Rach.
Hello.
You don't have your gadget yet, do you?
This is one that you want?
No, I don't.
It's not available in New Zealand yet.
Yeah, you tell us what you want, Rach,
and we'll tell you if it's a good idea.
So what I want is a gadget called Zeebo.
It's a little human assistant kind of robot
that kind of walks around the house. Sorry, he doesn't walk, he kind of rolls. But he
has the ability, if you connect Zeebos across different family groups, if someone was to
fall off a chair, it could ring someone else to say that they're injured or hurt. So it's
like an R2-D2 that walks around your house?
Yes, it's really quite cool.
And plays stories and music and things like that.
Does Zeebo do any of the house cleaning?
Does he have a mop in the bottom of it?
No, he doesn't.
I wish he did.
I mean, you could tie Zeebo to the mop vac and then you've got a real winner.
Just put a cloth in the back.
We don't really get it,
but you sound passionate about it,
so we reckon you should get a Zeebo.
I said get it.
Yeah, life's too short.
I'm pretty sure it's around like 800, 900 bucks,
so it is a pricey one.
You'll find the money.
But I mean, it's a companion.
These things pay for themselves eventually.
It's a companion as well.
Yeah, how can you put a price on love?
Yula is here.
Hi, Yula.
Hi, Yula.
Hello.
What's your gadget?
My gadget is a Bluetooth light bulb.
A Bluetooth?
Oh, I love Bluetooth light bulbs.
You know the one?
Yeah, and you can change the colour of them and stuff.
Put a party filter on in your bedroom.
That's the one, yeah.
I just got my first one this week.
The dream is to change all of the lights in my house to these ones.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Eula, timer on it too. You know what's a great idea? The dream is to change all of the lights in my house to these ones. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You know what's a great idea?
When I used to have flatmates, I'd change all of mine to Bluetooth light bulbs.
And when it was that time of the month, I made them all red.
So they knew to stay away.
It was like a horror house.
You think I'm joking.
I'm not joking.
Red light means stop.
Whatever you're doing, just stop.
Red light means don't come near this room.
Georgie's here.
Hi, Georgie.
Hi, Georgie.
Hi.
Have you got your gadget or you're dreaming about getting it?
I used to have it until I moved out of the slash.
No.
What's your gadget?
We had a soup maker and it was honestly the most incredible thing that you would never think you needed until you have it. Wait. What had a soup maker and it was honestly the most incredible thing that
you would never think you needed until
you have it. What's a soup? What is
a soup maker? I've never heard of this.
It's kind of like a big
thermos. You like chuck all of your uncooked
veggies or whatever that
you want in it, all of your ingredients,
put the lid on and then
come back 20 minutes later, it cooks it
for you and blends it for you
and has chunky and smooth options.
And it was just the best thing I've ever had.
Did you say 20 minutes?
It makes homemade soup in 20 minutes?
Yeah.
Oh, get yourself another soup maker.
You've got to have one of those.
Georgie, Clint doesn't need to get a soup maker
because he's got a $2,000 Thermomix.
Yeah, I know, but Georgie needs a soup maker. I think I do.2,000 Thermomix. Yeah, I know, but Georgie needs a
soup maker. I think I do.
Doesn't a Thermomix do that?
Yeah, but I'm not going to make Georgie get a Thermomix,
mate. Georgie, just buy a Thermomix.
They're $2,000. I think they're
three. I don't think I have the facilities
for that. How much are they? I think they're
three and a half. Three and a half!
Bray and Clint. But they do everything,
mate. It's a blender.
Do they mop the floor?
No.
Rip off!
Bree and Clint.
Listen up.
Is your relationship in turmoil?
Me specifically?
No, not you specifically.
I'm talking to the people.
Do you need some tips?
Do you need to spice it up? Or maybe you need to go unconventionally.
Right.
Well, I've got an article here, and I quite like this.
I think we should take a bit of information from this article.
And it's unconventional marriage tips,
which, I mean, you can just say relationship if you're not married.
But do you want to hear what...
It works for de facto, does it?
I think it does. Civil unions. I'm going to go works for de facto, does it? I think it does.
Civil unions.
I'm going to go out on a limb and say it does.
Okay, good.
The first tip, the unconventional relationship tip,
don't disclose everything.
Keep some secrets.
It says, normally I would advocate for honesty in relationships,
but you needn't tell your partner everything.
Right.
Case in point, I didn't tell my husband I had Botox
and he spent the next three months telling me I didn't need it
and that my skin looked terrific.
I get that.
It's very vague advice because some people will interpret that as like,
oh, I don't have to tell them about it.
Yeah, exactly.
But I think I get what they're saying and I think it's right.
Like in terms of my mum.
It's about white lies, right?
My mum and dad, my mum doesn't always tell my dad how much certain things cost.
Yep.
And I think it stresses him less that way.
Sure.
You know?
So you were saying don't tell them if you love them.
Exactly.
Yeah.
You know what we're trying to say.
It's good for them.
Yep.
The next unconventional relationship tip is learn to manipulate.
Right.
It says here, heck, marriage would not be successful
if there was no manipulation.
Just as we grease the wheels to get a promotion, see that movie,
or we want to get the kids to tidy their rooms,
so do people need to cross gender and sexuality spectrums,
manipulate with a healthy relationship.
By the time you're married,
you should know the best way to get a positive response.
You pick your battles and choose your time.
Okay, become a massive manipulator.
With love.
Mess with their head with love.
With love.
I think it's saying you need to get to know your partner really well.
No, it's saying get to know how to get what you want. Yeah to get to know your partner really well. No, it's saying get to know how to get what you want.
Yeah, get to know your partner really well
so you can manipulate them into getting what you want.
That's right, yeah.
That's exactly right.
The next tip that's unconventional for a relationship is
don't listen to the naysayers.
It says here, if the relationship feels right for you, then go with it.
Don't listen to the people who say you won't last for some trivial reason.
To some, my own relationship is unconventional,
but I haven't listened, and 10 years on, we're here and we're happy.
Cool.
All right, so if your friends say that he's cheating on you,
don't listen to them.
Got it?
That's good.
That's interesting advice.
I probably would listen to friends.
They're usually right.
And the last tip for unconventional relationships
is choose your love
and love your choice.
Right.
It's from a fortune cookie.
Is it? Yeah.
Brie and Clint. A supermarket worker
has revealed the thing they
hate the most about
you and me, Brie. Not just
us, customers in general. Yes. The thing that they hate, they can you and me, Bree. Not just us, customers in general.
Yes.
The thing that they hate, they can't stand this about customers.
It's the worst thing about working in a supermarket.
When we take our trolleys with all our groceries through the self-checkout.
No.
Oh, no, that's just me.
I would have thought that that would be up there, though.
I hate it when people do that.
Well, I don't hate it.
I'm like, uh-uh, uh-uh, uh-uh.
I don't hate it if they haven't got a whole trolley's worth.
If it's like a few things, but they just haven't been able to carry it.
But if you've got a whole trolley.
Get in the queue.
Get in the queue.
You know what's up?
You're not a checkout lady.
That's for us who just went in there and just got enough ingredients for dinner tonight.
Get in the queue.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's not that.
The thing that supermarket workers hate about us the most, in case you want to stop
doing it,
when we leave random things
on random shelves around the supermarket.
So you pick up a block of Whitaker's chocolate
and then by the time you get three aisles
down, you change your mind. You go, actually no, I'm
fitspo now. And you just put it on the shelf
where the pasta is. They hate that.
It's very annoying. Because they have to
go around and find them.
Even I get annoyed when I see that.
But you know when I do it?
When I've got my block of chocolate.
Every shopping trip?
Yeah, but I've got my block of chocolate from the chocolate aisle.
No, I do go and do the grocery shopping.
When?
When was the last time?
Lucy does click and collect and I pick it up.
But I'll dart in and get a block of chocolate.
Listen to you. you I do the shopping
I do, I pick up the shopping
I pick it up
I do pick it up
From click and click
If I go into the supermarket
And I get a block of chocolate from the chocolate aisle
And then I walk to another place
And then there's a stand that has a sale
On a different block of chocolate
I'm going to leave my chocolate block
No
On the sales stand and take the new one
No
I am
Because you just offered me a better deal
I'm not going to walk back to the original place and put it back. They should put
the sales right next to the chocolate. That's what I mean.
The ones that really, I really
feel for the supermarket workers though, is
when you see someone who's got a bag of like
shredded chicken from the deli and then
Then they put it in the non-refrigerated.
They just leave it on the shelf where the
cereals are. What are you up to? I'm like,
that chicken's not, that chicken's not,
that's not good chicken anymore. That's a waste of chicken. What are you doing? You know? We
thought we could open the phone lines this afternoon for a bit of a vent, not just from
supermarket workers, but any like retail workers. We've done this before with hospitality workers.
We said, hospital workers, what do you hate about us? Let's do retail workers. I know
what a big retail worker one would be. I used to work in retail.
You know what I hated?
What?
I'd go around the store and I'd fold all the clothes real nicely
and then I'd pile them up in a tower
and then some tornado person would walk through
and they'd pull out every single one
and then they wouldn't even buy it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And I was like, do you mind?
Do you know how long that took me?
You can say anything about us.
We can take it this afternoon.
We want to know what you hate about us.
Do you hate when we leave like nine items of clothing in the changing room?
Who would love that, Clint?
Do you hate?
Who's going to go, oh, I'm so excited.
Do you hate?
Yeah.
That customer's just left nine pieces of clothing in the changing room.
Do you hate when we ask like heaps of questions about a product and then go,
okay, sweet, I'm going to think about it.
And then we leave and we don't buy it.
That one's rough.
I do that a lot.
Whatever it is, 0800 dial ZM or you can text into 9696.
People who work in retail, this is your chance to tell us to our face
what you hate about us customers.
Go on, give it to us.
We'll take it.
Bree and Clint.
A supermarket worker has said the thing they hate the most about customers
is when we leave stuff on different shelves.
Something that didn't belong there, we leave it in a different place.
Not that bad.
I was expecting worse.
Nah, that's pretty annoying.
I thought they were going to hate our personalities.
I totally can relate.
When I worked in retail, you know what my nearly,
I'm going to say my most hated thing?
Yeah.
When you're about to close and then a customer walks in and they just kind of no really awareness of that.
You've been there all day and they kind of mosey around
and then you shut one of the, you know, the gates.
You half close it.
You half close it and then they're still looking around
and then they go, oh, I know, the gates. You half close it. You half close it and then they're still looking around.
And then they go, oh, I don't want anything.
And then they walk out and you have to say 15 minutes later.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
God, that annoys me.
Well, that's what you're welcome to do this afternoon.
You're welcome to have a vent.
We don't mind what you say.
Just come on and give it to us. What do people who work in retail hate most about us customers?
Shay's going to give it a go.
Hi, Shay.
Hi, Shay. Hi, Shay.
Hi, guys.
How's it going?
What is it?
What do you hate most about us pesky customers?
Give it to us straight.
This is the most annoying thing, is when you go and scan the item,
it doesn't scan, and they go, oh, wow, it must be free then.
No, that's good gear, though, isn't it?
I hate that, Shay.
That's so cringe.
That's such cringe.
It's like Nigel, Karen, get some new jokes.
Must be free
then. And you know the worst thing, Shay,
is that they're saying it because you know
that there's some slight hope
from them that it is free.
Exactly. And like,
you've got to laugh at their jokes as well. Otherwise,
I'll get offended. Yeah, customers always right.
No, Shay, you know what you do
to stop people doing it? Just give them
deadpan face and just be like,
that's not funny. That's not funny, man.
And then they'll never
say it again and you're doing your bit for
the community. Thanks, Shay, that's a good one.
This is an interesting one that I never thought of.
Someone has texted in and said they work in a women's
clothing store and they hate when women come
in and speak negatively about their own
body. They come in and they're like, oh, I'm too fat for this or I can't wear this.
They said it's really awkward for them.
I never thought about that.
You're projecting your insecurities onto the shop attendant and they're like, I actually
am not a motivational speaker.
I'm just actually here to sell you a pair of jeans.
I think that one's got a lot of deep rooted issues.
I think that's not the women's fault.
No, no. Either of them. True. Good point. Let's talk to Teeth. Hi, Teethoted issues, I think. That's not the women's fault. No, no.
Either of them.
True.
Good point.
Let's talk to Teeth.
Hi, Teeth.
Hi, Teeth.
Hi.
What do you hate about customers?
You work in retail.
What's the worst thing about us?
Look, you know what?
I hate it when someone brings in a product
to return without a receipt
and they expect us to search it
like they're the only person that's purchased it
in the last kind of fortnight.
I will let my mum know, T.
I hate going with her to a shop and she doesn't have the receipt
and I'm always awkward because I'm like, mum, you need the receipt.
She goes, oh, I bought it like three months ago.
They should remember.
What, they remember her specifically?
They should have it in the system.
I'm like, they don't just have everything in the system.
Teeth, what generation is most guilty for doing this
Showing up without the receipt
Oh gosh you know what
I'd have to say probably Baby Boomers
Yep I'm gonna call it
My mum
Bree's mum specifically
I still love her to death though
I love this one on the text machine
Someone said I hate this too
Even though I don't work at a supermarket
Someone says as a shopper I hate when someone at the supermarket
leaves their trolley in the car park space rather than putting it back in the rack.
Yeah.
God, I hate that.
Because it's just so lazy and it means you think your time's more important
where you don't have a minute to go put it back
and then it obviously affects someone else.
Man, you're passionate about this.
You sure you don't still work in retail?
No, I've still got PTSD from working in retail.
Kiani's here.
Hi, Kiani.
Hi, Kiani.
Hi.
You work in retail.
What's the worst thing about customers?
I used to work on checkouts and there'd be nothing worse when it's a hot summer's day
and someone tries to pay with cash
that you've just seen them pull out of their
boob and it's wet and sweat.
I apologise. Oh, yeah.
I apologise for this, Skiani.
Oh, no. Honestly,
the worst, and there's nothing, you have to accept it.
You just have to take it. Yeah, what do you do?
Like, that's terrible. The only time
I've done that is on a night out.
I'll be honest, put out your sweaty boob money.
It's the same with your FPOS card too.
That's not staying particularly fresh down there either.
No, trust me.
There's been a few FPOS cards that have fallen victim.
I wouldn't see someone go in there and use pay wave
without getting their FPOS card out of their bra.
Just lean down and swipe straight across.
Yeah, it's areola wave.
Thanks, Kiani.
We appreciate the call.
Thanks, Kiani.
That breakup really did a number on her, didn't it?
Yeah, I can feel it.
I had a big night out on the weekend, which is rare, really rare for me at the moment.
Yeah, didn't you get home at midnight?
Yeah, I did.
Rager.
Excuse me.
Excuse me.
I got home at five past midnight.
Whoa.
I left the bar at quarter to midnight.
Look out. Okay. Sorry, my mistake. I left the bar at quarter to midnight. Look out.
Okay.
Sorry, my mistake.
It's rare for me at the moment.
We've got a new baby, Maggie, and another daughter called Tui.
And I don't get many nights out at the moment.
So when this one came along, I was like, yep, dad's in.
Let's do this.
Let's go.
You really hit it hard.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You took full advantage.
I got an Uber in.
There's no way I was going to drive.
Didn't you have at least three beers?
An hour.
I got an Uber into town,
and it's the Uber that I want to talk about
because there was a bit of an issue with it.
And I want to know from you
what star rating you think is fair to have given the driver.
Because it wasn't a pleasant experience.
Why?
What happened?
But it also wasn't a disaster.
The Uber was on time.
Showed up on time.
Went the right way.
Good.
That's what you want.
And everything else was fine.
The Uber itself, I don't want to-
What radio station were they playing?
They weren't playing a radio station.
The driver was on a Bluetooth headset
having a conversation with someone else the whole time.
I'm fine with that.
I'm fine with that.
Because then that means I can sit quietly and...
They're not talking to you.
Yeah.
Well, you know, sometimes I want to like do some work on my phone
or I want to do stuff.
And they're busy people.
That's fine with me.
Yeah, they've got people to talk to.
And I think if you really wanted the radio on
and you said you're going to have the radio on.
They always put it on for you.
They'd probably put it on for you if you really wanted it.
So that wasn't the issue.
The issue was, and I don't want to point fingers,
but it was only me and one other person in the car.
There was a really strong smell of BO in the Uber.
And I don't just mean a little bit.
I mean like quite stingy, the back of the nostrils.
A pungent smell.
Quite pungent, windows up, no ventilation going in the Uber,
and just a little bit like stingy.
And by the end of it, quite like.
You should stop using that natural deodorant
because you have been a bit whiffy.
I was wearing full aluminium deodorant i'd
actually i was going out i just had a shower you know i was look out you splurge so other than that
it was fine uh did the uber pick up your friend before you uh no so you just said no i met people
no i met people in town so you were the only passenger it was just me and the driver in the
uber right so that's what i mean i don't want to point fingers but there was a lingering smell of
bo could have been a customer before me.
Well, you have to remember is that people are getting in and out of this Uber.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But I have said before, the one thing I don't understand is how,
like a lot of Ubers don't run the air conditioning.
Yeah, yeah.
And if that was me, if I was sitting-
Drains the battery on the Prius.
Well, if I was sitting in a car for that long, they work bloody hard,
I would be sweating and not smelling great.
But I don't want to pay $35 to sit in a BO bath, you know?
I don't understand why they don't have the air conditioning on.
Yeah.
Because that's what it is.
It gets hot in a car.
But also when you have BO, sometimes you can't smell yourself, right?
Sometimes.
I feel like if I smell bad, I always can smell myself.
I feel like that's, I feel like.
And would you want someone to tell you if you smelled bad and you didn't know,
would you want someone to tell you?
Absolutely.
Right, okay.
So the way I can tell them is with the star rating.
What do you think is a fair star rating to give?
Because it wasn't a five-star experience. I can't give five? Because it wasn't a five-star experience.
I can't give five stars.
It wasn't a five-star experience. So everything else was good?
Everything else was good.
Everything else was perfect?
Yeah, apart from the smell.
So it's a four.
Oh, okay.
What did you give them?
What did you give them?
It's a four.
You take one star off for one element.
I thought five is like excellent.
Four is good.
And then three, there was a bit of an issue.
Isn't that how it goes?
Well, I'm just thinking, you know, you got five stars.
One thing's bad.
So you take it down to a four.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, sure.
What did you give them?
I gave a three.
I gave a three.
Oh, that's a bit rough.
Is it?
It's not a two.
It's not a one.
It's not a.
Yeah, I know.
But.
It's a smack bang in the middle.
The ratings are everything for them.
Yeah.
Because that's how they keep their job
That's how they get you know
Yeah
Make a living
So one three
You hope it'll come through
And then
What if
What if
What if he
He can't drive now
Well
Then I'm feeling particularly bad
And what if it was you
Like I said
You've been using
It wasn't me
You've been using that natural deodorant
I haven't been using a natural
You've been a bit whiffy
I think a three was
I think it was okay, but...
Smell your armpit now.
I smell fine.
Get off my case.
Free and Clint.
Button down the hutchers.
Google's down.
Google, are you down, down, down, down, down, down, down?
What the hell?
I think Google's actually...
A nautical theme for Google's dials.
Why not?
Why not?
You've got to keep it spicy, don't you?
Right.
This is where we test who is the fastest Googler,
not only in the studio,
but also you guys out there listening on 0800DIALS.M.
Today, Caitlin will be taking on the team.
Hello, Caitlin.
Hi.
Hi.
Turn that radio down for us if you can, Caitlin.
You're going to be taking on Bin, producer Bin, myself,
and arguably New Zealand's greatest all-time Googler, producer Anastasia.
Thank you.
Caitlin, will you be Googling on a phone or a laptop this afternoon?
A phone.
Okay, perfect.
The team will also be using phones to keep it fair.
Here's the rules.
I'll be reading out a question for you to Google.
I'm looking for the answer that is the most common answer
that comes up for that question on Google.
The first person to yell out that answer will be awarded the point.
If you yell out the wrong answer, you are out of that round
and you have to sit that one out.
First of three questions right wins.
Got it.
Got it. Got it.
Was that too much info?
Okay, got it.
Okay, here we go.
Question.
Oh, I've got to turn that radio down, Caitlin.
Surely I've got to turn that radio down.
Yeah, we can hear ourselves, Caitlin, and it's not good.
Um, okay.
Put us on speaker.
You're not on speaker.
Yeah, but check us on speaker so you can hear us and you can Google.
Oh, okay.
There we go. All right, whatever's going to work, just turn that radio down. you can Google. There we go.
All right, whatever's going to work, just turn that radio down.
Here we go.
Here we go.
Question number one.
Are you ready, Caitlin?
Yes.
Okay, perfect.
I want to make sure Caitlin is ready.
Question number one.
Where was Sir Edmund Hillary born?
Wellington.
Ben is out.
Auckland.
I believe Caitlin got it first.
Just. Did you say believe Caitlin got it first. Just.
Did you say Auckland, Caitlin?
Yeah.
I just heard you.
Did she?
She's claiming it, so we've got to give it to her.
I swear I heard her say it, but maybe I've gone crazy.
One point to Caitlin.
All right.
One point to you, Caitlin.
Here we go.
Question number two.
When did Wet n' Wild on the Gold Coast first open?
What was the opening date
for Wet and Wild?
30th of September 1984.
Oh, Anastasia's right.
30th of September 1984
is the correct answer.
One apiece to the girls.
Is Wet and Wild still open?
Yes, it is still open.
I've never been.
Always wanted to go.
Wear togs that don't give you a wedgie.
I want to go on that big one that looks like it's flushing you down a toilet.
No, that's at Dreamworld.
I haven't been in the space.
Oh, is that?
Yeah, that's the water park at Dreamworld.
Yeah, okay.
Question number three.
One apiece to the girl so far.
What's the closest animal to a dinosaur?
To a Tara?
A chicken.
Okay, Clint and Ben are out.
Crocodiles.
That is correct.
It is the crocodile.
The most common answer that comes up on Google.
What did you say, Ben?
Tuatara.
That's a good guess.
Clint, not so much.
I thought I'd heard that it was chicken.
If you said ostrich, I would have been like, oh, yeah, that's not a bad guess.
Dino chicken.
Dino chicken.
All right, two to producer Anastasia, one to Caitlin.
Someone needs to get one of these right before Anastasia
or the game is all over.
Question number four.
How much money was stolen in the biggest bank heist?
How much money was stolen?
18.9 million.
That's right, Ben.
That was amazing. I'm out. It's between Caitlin, Anastasia and Ben.9 million. That's right, Ben. That was amazing.
I'm out. It's between Caitlin, Anastasia
and Ben. Alright, here we go.
Question number five.
What's the population
of Fiji right
now?
What is the population?
899,953.
What did you say, Ben?
It's 2019.
So I said 889,953.
902,553.
Anastasia got it.
What?
Did he not say that?
No.
Yeah.
That's the game.
What's that, Caitlin?
925,000. Oh, 925.
Oh, okay.
Never mind.
I did say right now, not the 2019 one.
Caitlin, you don't get the title, but you do get the 50 KFC chicken dollars.
Congratulations.
Nice work, Caitlin.
Thank you so much, guys.
No worries.
Have a good day.
Bree and Clint.
Story out today where a woman has embarrassed herself
after she had a massive fail with the old Bluetooth.
Oh, yeah.
Something that I've never really grasped.
How it works or how to use it?
A bit of both.
Yeah.
Like, there's so many different things that it does,
but then I always forget that it exists.
Also, why do devices have such weird names?
Like, you're trying to find your device.
Why is it called Bluetooth though?
Oh, the actual connection? Yeah.
Um, you know what?
Good question. Absolutely no idea.
I don't know. Why is infrared called infrared?
I think it's because it's red. No, it's not.
I can't see it. Oh. Can't you see it? You can't
see it. Why is Bluetooth blue?
No idea. Yeah. Anyway,
she
was in her lounge room and she was watching some adult content on her phone.
Does she live alone?
She lives alone.
Anyway, I'll let her tell the story.
Here's audio of her talking about what happened with her Bluetooth fail next.
So one fine afternoon, I'm trying to enjoy a video of my choosing
and I'm finding that the sound isn't working.
So I crank the volume up all the way,
still don't hear anything
until I hear it blasting from my neighbor's speaker.
What had happened was that for some godforsaken reason,
my phone connected to the Bluetooth speaker
in my neighbor's apartment
and now the entire complex knows what i'm into and because i'm such a goddamn sweetheart i started
doing it on purpose it wasn't always adult content but it was usually adult content yeah not the best
i've had a worse she must have been at their house at a party or something connected to the
ue sometimes you just can't explain these things but I've had a worse Bluetooth fail than that.
Really?
Back in the day, like this is years ago, like years and years ago,
I had gotten the first car where I was able to connect my phone
through Bluetooth.
Yeah.
And I thought it was the coolest thing ever.
When you get it, it is the coolest thing.
It was awesome.
Hands-free Bluetooth.
It just works.
You get in the car and it just works.
I made it. I thought this was it for me.
I'm here. The winner's circle.
Anyway, what happened was is I'd had
the car for a little while. I'd recently
had it serviced where they
check the car over and they do all the T's and C's.
Anyway, so I had the car
serviced and this was about three weeks later.
I'd gotten flat tyre.
So anyway, I was like what the hell's going on?
Anyway, so I've taken the car back to where I got it serviced and I was like, hey, I think I've got a flat tyre.
Can you, you know, help me out, see what's going on?
Anyway, they've had a look at it and I've walked back over
and the guy said to me, he's like, look, you know, normally he's like you picked up a nail, it's a puncture.
Normally we'd be able to, you know, plug it up, fill it and it would cost you.
Just put a patch on it.
Put a patch on it, wouldn't cost you much.
No.
He's like, you've, however, been driving around on this flat tyre,
I assume for about two months.
Really?
Or a lot longer.
Yeah.
He's like, so unfortunately the nail has grinded all
of the rubber on the inside out of the tire it's not fixable it's not fixable you need to now pay
us another and these were like special times i was like another 300 and something dollars yeah okay
i was ropeable right i was not happy anyway so i was like yeah that's fine anyway i've walked so
my car's sitting in the garage right i've walked back i've called my mum because as you do when
you're like in a bad mood i've walked out to the road i've called my mum and let's just remember
i was young i was stupid i was angry i've called and I said, mum, you would not believe what's going on.
She's like, tell me what's going on.
And then I just started to rip into this mechanic.
Those mechanics check my car and they're idiots and this and that.
And I was just losing my mind, like just crazy.
And I was overreacting.
But I was just having a vent session.
Anyway, for about probably
I want to say three minutes I was just letting loose on these people yeah anyway at that point
when I'd calmed down and I was like mum like you're not saying anything mum like are you listening to
me and then I've like looked at my phone because she wasn't saying anything and that's when I
realized my phone had connected to the Bluetooth in my car,
which was now sitting in the mechanics.
No!
Right, so I assume you didn't get a discount on that tyre then?
No, it turns out it was about $600.
Bree and Clint.
Would you tell your partner if you won the 20 grand from the box?
Me, personally, would I tell my wife?
Yes.
Who's at home with our children?
Yes.
Nah.
Yeah, good idea.
Don't tell her.
Because then you can spend it for yourself.
I heard Fletch, Fawn and Megan talking about this this morning.
Yeah.
And it's about a woman who has talked about how she has a separate bank account from her husband.
Yeah.
And she's like, I'm never getting a joint account with him because I'm a saver,
he's a spender.
We don't compute.
Yeah, I don't want to join accounts.
Look, it's a conversation that every couple will have to have eventually,
like how you set up the finances.
You've got to have like a flat account though, right?
You've got to have an account that the groceries come out of.
Or you can go, hey, babe, I paid the power bill
last time. You want to shout this one?
See, that's when it gets weird.
But I think when you buy a house
together or you have kids or you get
married, you need to have some sort of
arrangement. But I mean
this conversation's been done to death.
We've talked about it a million times.
The thing that we're interested in
is do people know how much
their partner earns these days yeah you know do you know how much your partner earns how far into
the relationship do you have that conversation how do you ask when yeah when is it appropriate
is it appropriate is it ever appropriate to ask i feel like you you know don't you you just start
sharing things about yourself.
Don't you? And it's just one of the things that you share.
That's something that doesn't matter to me. That's a question
I would never ask someone. No, but I feel
like they'd tell you.
Yeah, but why would they tell me?
Or something to talk about.
You run out of things to talk about in a relationship.
What would be a circumstance where, unless they were
like, you know, boasting about it.
If they were applying for a new job, I'd be curious. I would say to them, like, if you're in a relationship with. If they were applying for a new job, I'd be curious.
I would say to them, like, if you're in a relationship with them
and they're applying for a new job, I'd be like, oh, what does that job pay?
No, I feel, no, no.
Really?
That's rude.
Really?
Yeah, that's rude.
Because I want to be like, oh, screw that.
You've got to ask for more money.
Well, actually not rude, but it depends on how long you've been with them.
If you've been with them for a year, I wouldn't be asking.
Right.
I went on a date with someone once.
On the first date.
No.
On the first date, she asked me how much money I earned.
No, that's rude.
Yeah.
Not on the first date.
That was awkward.
She earned a lot more money than me.
Did she?
A lot more money than me.
Go her.
Yeah, go her.
But also, leave me alone.
What was she?
Was she a lawyer?
Because, I mean, you drive an Audi. We know how much money you me. Go her. Yeah, go her. But also, leave me alone. What was she? Was she a lawyer? Because, I mean, you drive an Audi.
We know how much money you owe.
Excuse me.
How many first dates do you think I've been on recently?
I was 22.
No, but what did she do?
Oh, were you dating an older woman?
Yeah, I was dating an older woman.
Just briefly.
That's fun.
How have I never heard about this?
It was fun.
I was like...
How old was she?
23?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I think 25, but when you're 22, you're like, oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
You're 25.
You've seen some shit.
Yeah, you're so old.
You can be my sugar mama.
Well, she earned more money than you.
I think it's a really kind of grey area.
Does your partner know how much money you
earn? I think we've kind of had
the conversation. There's never been like a, how much
money do you earn? Surely they know.
Not really. Do you know
how much they earn? Not really.
Really? They're so weird to me
that you go, no. I can Google it.
Because they work a government job.
Oh, right. Yeah.
So, you know.
Well, then they would, then I'd be like, if I was your partner.
When did you have that conversation in your current relationship?
It wasn't even a conversation.
It wasn't like a, okay, let's sit down and find out how much money each other earns.
Exactly, but how?
Yeah, so how do people find out?
Yeah.
I don't know.
I got no idea.
It doesn't matter, but there are situations where if you found out that
your partner earned way more than
you thought they earned, it could be awkward. You're like,
oh my God, you've been sitting on this much money this
whole time and I've been making you go
to Denny's with me? Do you think it changes
the dynamic? It shouldn't.
No, but do you think it does?
Like when it comes to, you know, going out
for brunch. Well, we've talked about this before.
It could change the dynamic for the person who earns less
because they could feel like, it's not true,
but they could feel like there's pressure on them then.
They're like, oh my God, they're used to a certain way of something.
No, but is there pressure on the person who earns more
than to pay for more things?
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay.
Well, let's just ask people this afternoon.
Do you know or not know how much money your partner
earns?
Exactly.
So, yeah, was it amazing when you found out?
Or have you guys been together for ages and you've still got no idea how much money they
earn?
Or maybe you know theirs but they don't know yours.
I don't know.
Call us now, 0800 DIAL ZM.
No one has to reveal how much money they earn.
We're not going to ask how much money anyone earns,
but we just want to know the dynamic.
Yeah, totally.
How to fix your relationship.
You can also text us on 9696.
Bree and Clint.
Do you know how much your partner earns and do they know how much you earn?
Yeah, and does it matter?
Has it caused something in your relationship?
Has it caused any type of friction?
Do you feel like you need to know how much your partner earns?
Personally, I don't.
I don't.
If obviously you're making big life decisions like buying a house
or going in on something together, then you need to know.
Guess what?
If you want to know someone's financial daily laundry,
get a mortgage with them because they have to show everything.
You find out how much debt they've got.
You also get to see what they've spent their money on
for the last three months.
Yeah, that sounds horrible.
I don't think I'll be doing that anytime soon.
To buy a house, you have to stand financially naked
in front of the bank, and they look at all your money bits.
Oh, no, I've seen the banks judge me before,
and they're like Uber Eats, Uber Eats, Uber Eats.
Yeah, judging you rightly.
Stop judging me.
Let's talk to this person who wants to remain anonymous
this afternoon.
Hi, Anonymous. Hi, Anonymous.
Hiya, team. How are we going?
Good, thanks. Do you and your partner know how much
each other earns?
My current partner and I do, but
this story is actually about an ex-partner
of mine from a couple of years ago
at university
who I wasn't aware he had a job
but the job turned
out to be selling some illegal substances on the side.
Oh!
And I discovered that he was doing that
because I found his stash of cash.
Oh, no.
And when I asked him about it,
it turns out he thought he was earning about $80,000 a year.
What did he just say to you that he didn't have a job?
Yeah, he was living in a really stingy flat
and I was paid for everything.
Wait, he wasn't even chipping in
and he was racking up all this drug money on the side.
Let's be real anonymous.
Yeah, he owed me money.
He owed you money.
I found that out.
You should have just taken some out of the stacks.
He never paid for anything and he never slept.
He was the weirdest guy.
Dave is here.
Dave's actually a financial advisor.
Hi, Dave.
Hi, Dave.
Hi, how are you?
Good.
Do you think it's normal for couples to know how much money each other earn?
I would honestly say so.
I sit in couples' living rooms probably five nights a week
and I would say 60% to 70% don't know how much each other earn.
Really?
That's incredible.
And are we talking, Dave, like couples like long-term
or are these relatively like short-term relationships?
Definitely, definitely.
We're talking marriages.
You know, I probably wouldn't be saying...
Marriages.
...if they weren't thinking about serious financial decisions.
Okay, so you're a financial advisor.
Do you think that people should know how much their partner earns?
I think it's pretty important to the relationship
because I definitely know for a fact
there's going to be some serious conversations once I leave.
Oh, that's awkward, Dave.
They're just like, wait, how much do you earn?
And I'm just like, oh, God.
Yeah, all you do is walk into the house, drop a financial grenade, then walk out. Then leave. Yeah, I just set
fire, call 111 and drive away. Have a nice afternoon. Wow, fascinating. Oh God, that's
a big percentage of people who don't know. This person wants to be anonymous too. Hi,
Anonymous. Hi, Anonymous. Hi, how are you going? Good, thanks. Do you know how much your partner earns?
I do.
And I actually found that it was an incredibly motivating factor
because when we started dating maybe eight or nine years ago,
I earned half what he did.
Yeah.
And now I earn more than he does.
Oh, go girl.
Do you guys do like similar jobs?
Initially, I was in retail years back and now I work as a general manager.
So he's in a totally different field.
He was in marketing and yeah, so I guess we're kind of aligning more in the corporate sense now.
You guys are a competitive relationship.
You spare each other on.
You guys should join a gym together and see who can get the most ripped.
We actually built a gym in the house.
Anonymous, you're such a boss B.
I love that. I was working in retail
and now I've worked my way up to general manager.
That's awesome. And she built a gym in the house.
And I built a gym and I earn more money than
my partner. You're like, I got this one, babe.
Don't worry about it. There's a
good reason to find out, I guess.
Yeah, but I don't think
everyone is built like that person.
Zoe's here as well. Hi Zoe.
Hi Zoe. Hi, how are
you guys? Good thanks. Do you know how much your
partner earns?
I've been with my partner 14
years and I still don't know
how much he earns and we don't have a joint
bank account. Why?
Any kids in the mix?
Yep, two kids. Two kids. House?
He owns
but we actually rent.
Are you married? Nope.
Not married. Have you got a prenuptial
agreement? No.
No prenuptial agreement. Well, whatever
he's got, you're entitled to half of.
You're safe in that regard.
I'm the sort of person,
I'll walk away with what I came in with.
I'm not, the money side doesn't really bother me.
I'm not a gold digger. Yeah, but you're not walking away with what you came in with
because you've got two kids now.
Yeah, it's different.
With him.
Why don't you ask?
Obviously, there's that to take into consideration.
I have a question.
What does he do for a living?
I won't state the actual thing, but he's a tradie.
So is he self-employed?
Yes.
Does he know how much you earn?
Well,
recently I got a pay rise
from work and I told him
how much I earned an hour.
So he could figure it out.
He could. If he wanted to,
but he wouldn't.
Do you want to know? It's totally fine. It's 14 years you guys are doing your own thing. So he could figure it out. He could work it out. He could, if he wanted to, but he wouldn't. Wow.
Do you want to know?
Do you want to?
I mean, it's totally fine.
It's 14 years.
You guys are doing your own thing.
Do you want to know how much money he earns?
Nah, it doesn't bother me.
Yeah, fascinating.
Okay.
All right.
That's so interesting, Zoe.
Thanks for sharing that.
If it's working for you, it's working for you.
I would love to be a fly on the wall when Dave, the financial advisor,
goes into one of those houses, eh?
That'd be such interesting and confronting conversations.
It would be so interesting just to see the look on their faces being like,
that's how much you earn?
Why aren't you chipping in for the mortgage more?
Why are your undies so holy?
Oh, my God.
Bree and Clint.
Hey.
It's my birthday.
It's my birthday.
Bree and Clint's birthday banger.
Toit radio just then, mate.
Was it?
Nah, good props to you, mate.
That was some Toyt Radio.
Did you like it?
Yeah, good back announcing.
Thanks, man.
See, I was in between and then you let her have her say and then boom, straight into the opener for Birthday Banger.
Oh my God, thank you for noticing.
No, you're welcome, mate.
I try so hard.
I think sometimes you've got to tell someone when they've done a great job.
You've got to build each other up, right?
Anyway, moving on.
Birthday banger.
This is where we take your birthdays and we figure out what was number one on your 16th.
Megan, we're doling out compliments this afternoon.
Can I say wonderful name?
You've got a great name.
Lovely name, Megan.
Yeah.
Some would say rather like a stallion.
Megan the stallion, we'll call you.
What's your birthday, mate?
My birthday is the 28th of April, 2000.
All right, you were 16 in 2016 on the 28th of April.
Now let's go back to 2016, because this was top in the charts.
Oh my God, how ahead of its time was this song?
Banger.
If it had come out in 2020 when we were all working from home, though,
it wouldn't have hit the same would it
nah
nah
it'd be cheesy
then wouldn't it
Megan
Fifth Harmony
Work From Home
what do you think
yeah it's good
awesome
yeah it's right
I love that song
so much
fun fact
not about working
at all
what
isn't it
you're joking
I'm joking
that's it
my acting must have
been very good then
oh man this is a conversation for you and your mum to have, not me.
Compliment taken.
Yeah, well done.
Okay, Sasha's here.
Hi, Sasha.
Hi, Sasha.
Hey, how's it going?
Good, mate.
What's your birthday?
27th of May, 1979.
All right, Sasha was 16 in 1995 on the 27th of May.
And in the mid-90s, this was top of the charts.
Yes!
Banger.
This is a banger, Sasha.
You've got to love this.
You've got to love Montel Jordan.
You've got to love Montel Jordan.
I met him a few years ago.
You met Montel Jordan?
Yeah, when I worked at a radio station in
Australia and he was rolling through
the building and someone was like,
that's Montel Jordan. I was like, no way.
And then I went over and made a complete
ass of myself. Did you ask him to sign your
Chicago Bulls thing? I might have.
Wait there,
Sasha, we got one more to do for Weasley.
Hey, Weasley. G'day, Wes.
How's it going? Good, mate. How are you?
I'm good. I'm finishing
work. Oh, love that, Wes. What do you do for a job,
Weasley? I milk cows.
Bloody good. Oh, dairy farmer.
Isn't it? I know nothing about
dairy farming, Weasley. The heart of the nation.
Is it a bit late to be milking cows, or
is that fairly standard? You milk them all
day, every day. Fairly standard.
I'm a little bit late today.
Yeah, right.
Okay.
Well, shout out to the girls.
What's your birthday, Wes?
July 16th, 99.
All right.
You were 16 in, I haven't done the math on this one, so it would be 2015.
And here's your birthday bag.
I thought we needed Somebody to lean on Moo and Major Lazer
Lean On
Nice
Great song Wes
One of my favourite songs
Of 2015
What do you think
Of Bree's
We just brushed over this
By the way
What do you think
Of Bree's dairy farming
Advice by the way
You just milk them
All day long
No they do milk them
Multiple times a day
You've got to give them A rest don't you They've got to go. You just milk them all day long. No, they do milk them multiple times a day. You've got to give them
a rest, don't you? They've got to go
refuel. You milk them multiple
times a day. It takes a long time.
About 60% of my day is
just pulling a titty.
Me too, Wiz.
All right. And some of the
time you're working, eh, Wiz?
Love it. Love Wiz's song.
Love work from home.
I can't go past Montel Jordan this afternoon.
I like them all.
I really do.
I've got to go with my girls' Fifth Harmony, Work From Home.
Really?
Over the Montel Jordan song?
I love that song.
Okay, split vote.
Yesterday or the day before, Anastasia got to do the split vote.
So today it's producer Ben.
Ben, what is the winner of Birthday Banger?
I'm going to go with Montel. Yeah. So today it's producer Ben. Ben, what is the winner of Birthday Banger? I'm getting Garth Montel.
Yeah.
Sasha, you've just won Birthday Banger.
Nice work, Sasha.
Congratulations.
Nice.
Oh, sorry, I cut you off.
You're welcome.
Thanks.
Have a great evening.
See you, Sasha.
Bree and Clint, this is Birthday Banger on ZM.
ZM, Bree and Clint.
From the G-Funk era, that's Montel Jordan.
And this is how we do it.
The winner of Birthday Banger today,
taking down Major Lazer and Fifth Harmony.
Oh, see, this is my pick.
It was your pick.
This is my pick. Just listen your pick. This was my pick.
Just listen to, wait,
just listen to the first beat drop.
Ready?
Oh, that's hard.
Yeah.
That's good too.
That slaps.
That's good too, yeah, yeah.
Someone texted,
there's some creative criticism actually.
It says,
lately y'all been making worse
birthday banger decisions
than an 18-year-old drunk me.
Well, I'm saying out of today's decision.
Does that person want us to have played Bon Jovi the other day?
Nah, that was the right choice not to play Bon Jovi.
That Bon Jovi song.
That Bon Jovi song.
I mean all Bon Jovi songs as far as I'm concerned,
but that one especially.
What's the best Bon Jovi song?
It hasn't been released yet.
Stop talking, listen.
I just feel empowered as a woman.
Montel Jordan doesn't give you that?
I promise the people listening to have a big O in the car.
They might have just listened to that Teague song Well nearly, I'm just warming them up
That's the pre-game
Is this legal what you're about to do?
I don't think so
But we're going to give it a go on the radio
This is your opportunity to opt out
This is my opportunity
To bring some joy to a lot of people
If you don't want Bree to give you a big oh right now
Go and listen to...
People are too intrigued.
They're sticking around.
They need to know what I'm about to do.
I was going to say, go and listen to the Bree's.
That won't give you an O.
It'll give you a slight Bree's.
It'll give you a softie.
A slight Bree's down there.
It's all based off this story about this Instagram star.
Her name is Marcella Iglesias. Oh, yeah? Great name. Enrique's name is Marcella Iglesias.
Oh, yeah?
Great name.
Enrique's sister.
Marcella Iglesias.
Anyway, she has claimed on Instagram
that she's so in tune with her body
that she can easily achieve a big O
with just using her mind.
Really?
All she does is she says she thinks about certain things and she's
pretty much programmed her body
that she can do that
on repeat, on call.
She can turn it on and off? Yes. Like a switch?
It's amazing. That will piss off some people
who have real struggles
getting it done, right? I know, so annoying.
Busy thinking about the dishes and the vacuuming
and stuff like that and she's just like, oh yeah, okay, yep.
It says here, in the article,
my favourite place to let my imagination wander
is when I'm driving my supercar around the beach near my home in LA.
Oh, screw this person.
I thought, you know what?
Stuff her.
Here's an opportunity for me to put this to the test
with people listening right now.
Because I don't know if you know this about me
but I studied sex therapy at Polytech.
Did you?
I did.
Is that a course they offer at Polytech?
It is a course.
And I've come up with a new technique this afternoon, Clint,
where I'm going to delve deep into your mind this afternoon.
Everyone's mind's listening. And I'm going to make you have an experience you're not going to delve deep into your mind this afternoon. Everyone's mind's listening.
And I'm going to make you have an experience you're not going to forget.
Okay.
So I've pre-recorded something before the show.
And this is a part of my seven-day program.
Right.
Where you can listen.
Oh, we're getting this for free?
You're getting this one for free, but you've got to pay after this.
Where I believe what I've recorded and the
stuff I'm describing is going to make people reach that place this afternoon.
Okay, pull over if you need to.
That's our warning for you.
All right, here we go.
When you're ready, let's start the experience.
Okay, it's time to relax your mind, your body, your soul.
You've just woken up.
Oh no, you've missed your alarm.
You check your phone.
Wait, there was no alarm because it's Saturday.
Time to go back to sleep.
Your very attractive partner with a great personality just got home.
They begin to unpack the dishwasher.
And it's your turn.
It's Thursday.
You've just finished work at 7pm.
And you've got a work event to attend.
You check your email.
Bing!
That work event has just been cancelled.
Cancelled. Cancelled.
Cancelled.
You just bought a new phone and you begin to undress it, peeling off the plastic sheet from its brand new screen.
Oh.
Ah,ell that.
New technology.
You've just finished a giant
project you've been working on for
months. So now
you can begin to close down
the 27 tabs
open relating to that project.
One,
two, three,
etc. You've had a popcorn That project, one, two, three, et cetera.
You've had a popcorn kernel caught in your teeth all day.
You've been struggling to get it out.
And then finally it happens.
Success.
Yes.
Yes. Yes.
Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes.
I don't know about you, but I'd be paying that monthly subscription of $29.99.
Pay now.
Bit long for me.
I was done like three minutes ago.
What do you think is one of the best things about living in this country?
Freedom.
No.
No COVID.
No.
The All Blacks.
No.
Fresh air.
No.
What is that?
It's the Bunnings sausage sizzle.
Oh, yeah.
Well, yeah.
I didn't know that I could choose that.
That's 100% one of the best things about living in this country.
And there's a guy from Sydney who has probably set himself the most ultimate challenge that I am just applauding.
Right.
This guy deserves a medal.
He deserves to be knighted.
A guy by the name of Josh Eastwell has decided that he will eat a sausage at every Bunnings in Australia.
Yeah.
Yeah, I like that.
It's ambitious.
He'll get to see the country.
You want to know how far he's got?
It's delicious.
How far?
So in Australia.
How many Bunnings are there in Australia?
How many do you think?
Well, there's five states, so there's got to be at least five Bunnings.
At least. I'm going to be at least five Bunnings. At least.
I'm going to say 50 Bunnings in Australia.
There's 280.
Jesus.
Josh so far has downed 172.
Yeah.
So he's gotten through a fair few of them. Is he just having one sausage at each?
Just one.
He just wants to experience.
Well, at this rate, he can only afford to do one.
Well, yeah. I mean
it's a long trip. I've got an
important sausage sizzle question for you
because I've never bought a sausage sizzle in Australia
How much is
the standard price of a sausage sizzle
in Australia? Because it used to be a dollar
here and now it's two dollars
I think it's two bucks. It's two bucks over there as well?
I think it is. How much is too much
for a sausage sizzle? Because there is variance sometimes. You see it's two bucks. It's two bucks over there as well? I think it is. How much is too much for a sausage sizzle?
Because there is variance sometimes.
You see one and they're like,
well, these netball girls
aren't going to get themselves
to the Gold Coast on their own.
It's $3.
We've got to pivot our way there.
The girls need new gear bags.
I think anything over $2.50.
I agree.
I agree.
Don't you reckon?
Yeah.
If you want to charge me
more than $2.50,
you better have pay wave.
Like, if it's $3, I'd grit my teeth, but I'd still do it.
Yeah.
But if you're going over $3, that's just highway robbery.
Yeah.
Yeah, I agree.
Do you think Bunnings should get with the times and stock a vegetarian sausage at their sausage sizzle?
I think some of them do.
Okay.
I'm pretty sure some of them do. Do you think they should get with the times and have a gluten-free piece of bread at their sausage sizzle? I think some of them do. Okay. I'm pretty sure some of them do.
Do you think they should get with the times
and have a gluten-free piece of bread at their sausage sizzle?
Absolutely.
Because celiacs and gluten-intolerant people want a sausage sizzle.
Do you think they should get with the times
and have a falafel wrap available at the sausage sizzle?
I do love falafels.
I do.
But we need to...
An all-press coffee cart.
How bougie are we going? Eggs Benedict on the barbecue at the Bunnings sausage sizzle. I do. I mean, but we need to. An all-press coffee cart. How bougie are we going?
Eggs Benedict on the barbecue at the Bunnings, sausage sizzle, avocado on toast.
We do need to draw a line somewhere.
Yeah.
I mean, I think we draw the line at full-on kebabs at Bunnings because they're delicious.
If they're going to do that, can we get Bunnings to open at 3 a.m. in the morning?
Because that's the only time I feel like a kebab.
Hey, I'll buy a shovel.
I'll buy a plant.
Brian Clint.
Lost cause.
You wanted it, so you got it, ladies and gentlemen.
It's the return of Space News.
Last week, revealed right here on Brian Clint's Space News that the winning bidder paid $28 million
to sit beside Jeff Bezos on his flight into space.
Did you know it's next month, that flight?
Yeah, I do know it's next month.
You don't even get to get out of the spacecraft.
No, there's no walk on the moon.
You just get to go up there, fly around, and then come back down.
That's the worst part of any journey.
$28 million.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
The destination is the journey.
Yeah, I don't want to do that.
The destination is Earth.
You've paid $28 million to fly to Earth.
And come back to the same place.
It's with his brother.
His brother, Jeff Bezos' brother, is the other passenger on the flight.
So it's Bezos, Bezos and billionaire, who's going on the flight.
It's been revealed today that there's currently a petition on change.org
to not allow Jeff Bezos re-entry to Earth after he goes up to space next month.
I have seen this.
I've signed it.
Have you?
No.
I did see it, though.
I have to feel very strongly about something to sign a petition.
Oh, yeah, any petition, eh?
Yeah, just because it's a lot of admin.
Yeah, I don't want to get spammed with your notifications, too.
Nah, neither.
I want to sign your petition
And then never hear about how the petition is going
Ever again
Don't update me
Take my signature and leave
The petition says that Jeff Bezos
Is actually Lex Luthor
From Superman
Disguised as
Lex Luthor was from Superman
I don't know who that is
He's the bald guy, Superman's enemy Disguised as... Is he from Superman? Lex Luthor was from Superman, eh? I don't know who that is. He's the bald guy, Superman's enemy.
Oh.
Disguised as the supposed owner of a successful online retail store.
He's actually an evil overlord, hell-bent on global domination.
I mean, he is dominating the globe.
You know how they say...
Yeah.

I mean, I'm not saying it.
I'm just saying what society. Oh, yeah, you definitely didn't say it.
You know, like if we go by, I mean, Jeff Bezos' super yacht has its own smaller super yacht and now he has a spacecraft.
He has a super duper yacht which has a super yacht.
No, he doesn't.
Did you know that?
No, but I believe it.
His giant $500 million super yacht has a tinier super yacht.
Well, look, if that's more reason for you to sign the petition, you can.
It's at change.org.
It's called Petition to Not Allow Jeff Bezos Re-Entry to Earth.
