I used to live Like before I moved to New Zealand. Nice. She's got it out. Thank you. On the central coast in New South Wales. Shout out to all the coasties. I know a few listen to this podcast. And where I lived, there was this cat.

I called him the Cat Casanova, and he was known around the neighbourhood. Again, we can economise these. Why don't you call him the Ketsanova, and he was known around the neighborhood. Again, we can economize these. Why didn't you call him the Cat-sanova? That's not as good. The Cat Casanova just has good onomatopoeia. Yeah, right. Okay. Anyway, he was the Cat Casanova, and –

Onomatopoeia? Is that the right thing? I thought onomatopoeia was a word that is also a sound, like bang. Oh, yeah. No, that is right. That is onomatopoeia, right. Or zap. What am I talking about? All is onomatopoeia. Or zap. What am I talking about?

Alliteration. Alliteration. Good alliteration. I did take tutoring. And this cat would kick around the neighborhood. Wait, hang on. I'm pulling everyone up on their language. You took tutoring or you tooted?

Oh, Jesus. Tutor. I hate saying tutor. Tutor. Anyway, back to the cat Casanova. Sorry, Bree. Go. And at about, I'm going to say, one in the morning, each night, all you heard was this cat Casanova. Getting his fuck on.

That's very good from you. Literally. And he would just go, he'd scream and scream. Getting some pussy. And scream. Oh, my. Get in some pussy. And scream. Oh, my gosh. Get in some pussy. So marginal.

Oh, my gosh. Marginal. I'll take marginal. Yeah, you are. Very annoying. I actually came to the podcast with a story to tell today, but I need to ask if you guys want to hear it. And I do need to issue a trigger warning. Oh, no. Is it gory?

What about you, Ella? You haven't even heard the trigger warning yet. Okay, tell us the trigger warning. You can't just be triggered by everything. And then we'll decide. Oh, no. Is it gory? For this story. What about you, Ella? You haven't even heard the trigger warning yet. Okay, tell us the trigger warning. You can't just be triggered by everything. And then we'll decide. I'm hungry. Be quick. Okay, the story I'm about to tell.

Trigger warning includes death. Oh. It's a story that happened to me. Death. No, you're here. And disposal of a body. What the heck? Yeah, I want to hear it.

You want to hear it? Was it an animal? It's an animal. Oh, no, I don't want to hear it. I don I want to hear it. You want to hear it? Was it an animal? It's an animal. Oh, no, I don't want to hear it. I don't want to hear it. No, Clint, no. Is it your cat? No.

Good. Fine, I want to hear it. It's pretty horrific for me. Was it a rat? It's probably a bird. And can I just say that I wasn't allowed to tell my wife this story? I came upstairs and I was like, you do not want to hear what just happened. She goes, no, I don't.

Bury it deep inside yourself. You deal with it. That's your burden to carry. you do not want to hear what just happened she goes no i don't bury it deep with inside yourself you deal with it that's your burden to carry i do not want to hear about the story a bird one of the cats ate a bird nah it's a little bit more shit than that like i'm gonna tell the story fuck you guys i'm gonna tell the story um so i got home and lucy said to me there's a there's a dead baby bird in the car park i called it yeah she said i don't deal with that stuff i get that she goes like it's too much for me can you please deal with it when you get home so i got home and i was like oh there's the baby and it was a really young one like it was still wet it was still wet yeah i could have but the cats would bring it inside so you actually have to deal with it because otherwise they'll bring it inside and they'll gift it to you and that sort of thing.

I went to pick up this dead baby bird and I grabbed its leg and it went. And it wasn't quite dead. Step on it. Did you shovel it? I'm going to have to. And I know people who live in the country do this all the time, but I don't. You ringed its neck. And I was like, I'm going to have to do the humane thing and kill this bird.

That is the humane thing because it's suffering. But I don't have any killing devices, so yes, I would have to chop its head off with a spade. Yeah. Or you just step on it. Or you step on it. Again, all things that I am not accustomed to do. And I wouldn't like to do. I looked up in the carport and I saw that a bird had been nesting directly above the baby. It fell from the nest.

And it's fallen from the nest. They were nesting in the insulation that's under the floor above our carport. And it had fallen from the nest. And I thought, okay, if I don't touch this bird too much, it actually hasn't been attacked by a cat. Could I put it back in the nest? You can't touch it because then your smell's on it. No, and then mum will reject it. And I haven't really touched it. All I did was grab its leg a little bit.

So I was like, okay, let's try this. And I'll come back in an hour. And if it's been rejected again, then I'll do what I have to do. So I scooped it up very carefully with a shovel like a little gardening trowel I put a ladder out and I climbed up he'd fallen multiple meters it was gonna it was probably had brain damage it was alive though it was alive so I was trying to give it a chance and I got up there to the nest and the nest would be probably four metres off the ground. And I went up there with my little shovel above my head to try and poke it into the little nest there. Just as I did that, big mama bird comes bursting out of the nest

under the insulation, flies towards my face. I freak out. Ah! Flick the bird accidentally off the shovel. It falls from the shovel, connects with my wife's wing mirror. You know that scene on Titanic where the guy falls and he hits the propeller? Yes. The bird did that, hit the wing mirror, spun further, hit the concrete.

Dead. It's really dead now. And then I went down and checked down and it was dead. Well, there you go. That's really nice. Thanks for that. Good one, Mama Bird. You sucked that up, didn't you?

Yeah. Did you do a funeral for it? Well, you tried. I put it in some long grass to have a nice place to... Did you shed a tear? No. You tried. It's not your fault.

I did my best. I was glad I didn't have to chop its head off with a spade. I remember when I was younger, because I grew up in a very rural area and we used to go shooting on weekends and stuff. And we'd go out with my dad and we'd go spotlighting and we'd go out and look for rabbits and we'd shoot rabbits and stuff.

And I vividly remember like at a certain age where i it physically made me feel sick to kill anything yeah and i just literally went i don't want to even be around it i don't even want to be involved in it i don't want to take part and you were killing for piss control right yeah because they are pests and they tear up the ground and so it has to be done and but i just didn't want to be a part of it like and i remember where my feelings where i i guess i could actually comprehend yeah you know like but before that when i was younger and we're like yeah let's go kill some rabbits dad's like gotta indoctrinate them early gotta get them on that bloodthirsty bandwagon. But I just remember, yeah, feeling, I'm like, I just would rather do anything else than go kill another living thing.

I just hated it. But people do have to do it. That is the circle of life. I know, but not me. Not for vegans, obviously. Not me. I don't have to. No, no, no, no.

And how privileged are we that we don't have to do it? Very privileged. We don't have to hunt or gather our food, except all the hunting and gathering we do at the supermarket. Hunting around. As Ella does, goes out to a bush and picks berries. Berries all the time. What's your favorite food?

Oh, good question. I love Tamarillos. I hate Tamarillos. Oh, I'll eat all your Tams. Or Fijos. That is the weirdest favorite food. That is the weirdest favorite food. Or chocolate. I'll happily have chocolate.

Vegan mac and cheese. Oh, it slaps. Oh, mac and cheese. Hey, where's our vegan cheese? She has to go to the markets. So do you want countdown vegan cheese or the markets one? Because that will come later. The better one. The one that you think is the best.

That will have to come in due time because we are away on Friday and Saturday morning. And also she has to cycle there because she's not allowed to use internal combustion. No, no, it's all right. I'm a princess driver. Passenger. Ryan drives. My boyfriend. All right, I've got to go.

Bye. Bye, let's go. I've got birds to kill. See you later. I'm coming in. Well, howdy, children. What time is it? Now.

Three, two, one. It is thedy, children. Afternoon, everybody. It's Bray and Clint. Clint, share with the class. You've been sitting there giggling for about 30 seconds. So I've just sent an Instagram reel to a friend of mine who's currently doing a renovation on their house. Right. And it's like a time lapse thing

and it's got a voiceover on it and the voiceover, let's just say the voiceover is an African American lady. Okay. That's fine, that's the sound they've used but everybody uses it

and then you do your before and after pictures on the reel and I sent it to my friend and I was like, you're doing a renovation, you should do this. You should create,

you should recreate this renovation. You should do this. You should create. What, film it? You should recreate this reel. You could become the next big Instagram influencer renovator. Well, no, just for fun. Just a fun way of showing off your reno. Just make a reel out of it and use the sound. You could be on the block NZ next year. No, just for fun.

To look back at your memories of your renovation. Anyway, she messaged back and said, oh my God, yes. Is it racist if I do the accent though? Yeah, I wouldn't do the accent. I said, no, you just use the sound. That's how reels work. You just, you use the sound. Just use the same sound.

You just put your photos on the sound. How old is this person? Our age. Okay. Yeah. Just jumping on the reels then. Yeah, maybe. Late to the reels party.

Maybe I'm ahead of the game. Maybe I... You're always ahead of the game. Yeah, maybe it's me. Anyway, welcome to the show, everybody. We're gearing up for a big Friday Okie in Hamilton in two days' time. We've booked our accommodation, so good news, we've got somewhere to sleep in Hamilton when we get there. We were all going to sleep in your Golf, Volkswagen Golf,

which isn't the biggest car. Not at all, no. So that's good that we've got some accommodation. Well, you guys are going to sleep. I was just going to do an all-nighter. I was just going to bend on through, yeah, till the break of dawn. When I think of you, I think parties all night. When you think of me, you think big bender.

Yeah, big Bender energy. I always say that about you. We're coming to Hamilton tomorrow. We're looking at... Oh, no, I can't rumour where we're going. Tomorrow? You mean Friday? Friday, yeah. I can't rumour where we're going next week.

I produced Ella. Not allowed to hint at that. Are we doing that? Claudia's not here. Ella doesn't know how to work her mic. It's a secret. Did Emma hear? Yeah, you're there. Yay! It's a secret? Yeah. Okay, it's a secret. Cool. Bree and Clint.

combined birthday party for myself, my fiancee and our engagement party. No. Big one. That's going to be massive. That's such a good excuse

to have a major party, Nikki. Oh, so, so, so. It's going to be huge. All right, let's see if we can put 50 bucks on the bar tab. You've got to beat our tradie. He's 23.

He's from Hamilton. He's from Hamilton. Yeah, I have to agree. He's going on and on a bit, yeah. He's from Hamilton. He's from Hamilton. Yeah, I have to agree. He's going on and on a bit, yeah. He's from Hamilton, and he has a dog named after a drink. Welcome to the show, Adrian. Adrian! No!

Adrian! What's the dog's name, Adrian? Pepsi. Pepsi. Cute. Is it a black lab? No, it's a hunchback horse with a beardy. Oh, cute.

Nice. That would be adorable. Okay, Adrian, your buzzer is tradie. Nikki, yours is lady. Whoever answers three questions correctly first will win $50 cash. Thanks to KFC. Good luck. Here we go, guys.

Question number one. What is significant about the day seven days after Christmas Day? Yes, Adrian. You were so close. You want to sweep it and steal that one, Nicky? Yeah. Hey, it's New Year's Day and it's my son's birthday. Well, you should have gone that one faster than Adrian then.

I was like, I know this. Yeah. Why do I know this? What is significant about that day? What is it? And you buzz in, you're like, it's my son's birthday. Well, we'll have to take that, I guess. Question number two, one to the ladies.

Who sang the hit song Teenage Dirtbag? I'm just a teenage dirtbag. Want to say it was a one-hit wonder? Definitely a one-hit wonder. Kind of sounds like wheat bag. Three, two, one. We were looking for Wheatus. Wheatus.

Okay, no points there. Question number three, still one to the ladies. Coco is what popular, Coco what, sorry, is a popular high fashion brand? Lady. Yes, Nikki. Christian. Yeah, you kind of said? Lady. Yes, Nicky. Question. Yeah, you kind of said that weird. Say the question again.

Coco what is a high fashion? Yes, Nicky. No, sorry, I don't know. Adrian, all you've got to do is name a fashion brand. Coco what? Yeah, that's a good question. I don't know. Fair enough, Adrian.

That was my bad. I wrote that question. I couldn't even get it right. Coco Chanel. Coco Chanel is what we were looking for, yeah. Is what we were after. Question number four, still one to the ladies. Buzz in, guys, when you can tell me who sings this song.

And we're going to let it burn, burn, burn, burn. We're going to let it burn, burn, burn, burn. Tell me who sings this song. Wow, what a round, eh? What a round. And what? Who hung up? Who's still on the line? Yeah, someone's hung up. And our phone system's down, so we can't even... Who's still there?

I am. Okay, Adrian, you're the winner of Tradie vs Lady. Congratulations, you've won $50 cash from KFC. Nice work, Adrian. You didn't have to do much. $50 coming your way, though. What a shocker. Breaking news. Donald Trump just announced that he's running for president again.

So strap in for the shit show, everybody. So obviously, so when does that campaign start now? Yeah, apparently he's gone early. But I think it's next year. Okay. Or maybe it's two years away. I don't know. He's going to go again for the next one. Because you're allowed to be

president twice. Right. And he only got one and then they booted him out. Even if it's not consecutive. Even if it's not consecutive. You can have two, even if they're broken up. Interesting. And he wants his second one. Right. Great. That's great news. Just some happy news for you. Awesome.

Look, hey, let's talk about something that is always good news. Okay. The feeling when you find money that either you forgot you had or isn't yours. Oh, the first one. Very good. If you go, oh, my God, this is my money. You're like, this was in my pair of pants that I haven't worn in two years.

The second one, I'm always suspicious as to whether it's a trap. What, like if you find a 20 on the ground? Oh, yeah, yeah. King. But you always look around first to be like. No, I pick it up and run. And I bolt as fast as I can. I know what you're saying.

If you didn't see it come out of someone's pocket, you're kind of stupid to go, does this belong to anybody? Yeah, because anyone's going to go, yeah, that's mine. Oh, has it got the queen on it? Yeah. Oh, that's my one. Obviously, if it's in a group of people and someone looks like they've pulled their wallet out, I'm not going to pick it up and run.

But if it's in the middle of nowhere and you're like, I think this is mine. What do you think the cutoff is for needing to hand it in? Because $20, I don't think you need to hand it in. No. $50 if it's a $50 note? Nah. $100? Nah. $1,000? $1, I don't think you need to hand it in. $50 if it's a $50 note? Nah. $100? Nah.

$1,000? $1,000 is suspicious. I must say, $1,000, I would take it. If you found $1,000, you probably have to take it to the police station, right? I would have a think about it, yeah. I would at least give it a thought. But there's a guy, this story made me so excited. So this guy has talked about how he purchased a used suitcase.

Okay. So he bought it from a place that pretty much buys returned or overstocked items. Yeah. So they buy in bulk and then they sell them for cheap. Okay, yeah. And anyway, he went to this place. He bought actually a set of used suitcases

and he was having a look at them, you know, pulling the pockets out and doing all that stuff and he realised that there was a lump around the lining of one of the bags. Hidden money. What would you think? Drugs. I would think drugs straight away.

Because that's a suitcase. Well, either drugs or someone who was travelling in a dodgy area and they needed cash. But they needed that cash to be hidden in case someone went through their suitcases kind of thing. Because do you know how in some suitcases there's like a zip in the

lining? What is that for? Drugs. Drugs and cash. Yeah. What is that for? Drugs. Drugs. Drugs and cash. Yeah, drugs and cash. Anyway, he opened the lining to find $20,000 in Bangladesh currency. Oh. So he didn't, it's a lot of bills.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I've seen the picture, right? It is like a wad of cash. So he got really excited and he's like, I don't know what the exchange rate is, but I could have really won big here. Yep. So $20,000.

Have you done the conversion? I've done the conversion. $20,000 Bangladeshi dollars is? Around $340 New Zealand. Oh, not bad. Still better than nothing. You'd be gutted because you had hundreds of bills and you'd be like, surely I'm in the money.

But still, I thought it would be worse. Better than nothing. Better than nothing. $340. Yes, that's money you weren't expecting. Wouldn't say no. No, absolutely not. Would not say no.

Would you tell the authorities about it? No. Well, before you were just talking about how you're like... Well, how are you going to trace it back? You've bought the suitcase legally. Oh, so now that you've found the money... But how are they ever going to find it? It would only go back to the guy who sold you the suitcase

and he bought the suitcase off someone else anyway. If there's no... Look, this is where it's for me. If there's no logical path of getting the money back to its rightful owner, then don't bother. Yeah, like I found a wallet once and there was a driver's licence in there, but that could have been anyone's driver's licence. Bree's like, I didn't recognise the guy at all.

I didn't know him, so how was I going to get it back to him? Nah, I'm just joking. I thought we could ask people because I love stories like this. They make me so excited. 0800 dials at M. When was a time when you found money? How much? It could have been yours.

It could have been money that you hid away for years and years. Or it could have been someone else's money. Yeah. Or anything. I won't take any stories. Remember that person we talked to when they were cleaning out Grandma's house? Yeah. And they found all the cash that she'd been stashing up underneath the vanity in the bathroom.

How good. And Grandma had passed away. How good. I mean, RIP Grandma, but. Oh, yeah, not that part. That's not good. 0800 had passed away. How good. I mean, RIP Grandma, but... Oh, yeah, not that part. That's not good. 0800 dial ZM or you can text us on 9696. Where did you find some money?

Bree and Clint. I think your laptop might be playing, Clint. Oh. You're just getting in your daily news, are you? You don't want Trump playing in the background of your radio show. People will start casting aspersions on your political leanings. We'll start asking questions. Hey, the question we're asking you this afternoon is,

have you found money somewhere before? It might have been money you hid away. It might have been some money one of your relatives hid away. Or maybe it was just yours, not yours altogether. You know, I have dreams of finding, like, wads of cash that I've put somewhere for safekeeping. Like I've sold something on Trade Me and I'm like, oh, I've got to get this money to the bank. And I stash it like in a shoe in the top of my wardrobe. Like Breaking Bad when they hid it in the vent.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then I find it again and I go, oh my God, I forgot about this money. I know, I'd love that. You have to hide it first though. You've got to trick yourself. Yeah. And there's a risk you'll never remember. Let's, I just want to kick it off with this text here.

Someone said, my gran passed away. My parents were cleaning up her stuff and found money everywhere. That's what I was just talking about before. In books, behind picture frames, in shoes. They found about six grand. She had hidden it from my granddad. $6,000? Wow.

That's so good. I wonder if she'd done it as like a treasure hunt for the kids one day and she's like, when I pass. They're going to love this. They're going to love this. It's going to be the most fun day ever. Let's go to Kate. Hi, Kate.

Hi, Kate. Hello. Did you find some money, Kate, and where? No, it was my younger brother. He found $1,200 cash in his bedside table. What? From what, Kate? Like, a year before, he sold

a computer that he had done up and just fully forgot about the money, and he come into the room where I was and just threw all this cash in the air, and I said, what was that from? And then, yeah, he forgot that he'd put it in there. That's exactly what I'm talking about. That's exactly the dream that I have but it happened in real life to

your brother. Yeah, how good eh? Is he loaded? How did he forget about $1200? Yeah, I wish I could forget about $1200. I know, same. That's what I said to him but yeah, he had a lot of money at the time and just forgot about it. Yeah, wow. Amazing. Okay, good stuff. What a good day. Someone texted through and they said,

we bought a car and we gave it a good clean out. We found $780 in a plastic bag in the front side of the driver's door. Drugs. You read? No. Drugs. It's not always drugs. Messaged them back and asked what sort of car it was.

Okay, hold on. And that would tell me whether it's, you know. If they're listening, can you tell us what kind of car? Because it sounds like a, you know, like a car that's been in some deals, some dodgy deals, and they forgot to take the last of the cash out of it. Oh, hopefully they reply. Okay. Hayley's here.

Hi, Hayley. Hi, Hayley. Hello. You find some cash? Hayley, where was it? Not me personally. I actually work at a bank, and I had a customer come in one day with some money, and it had a whole lot of holes in it,

and he had said that he found it in the garage. Some rats had taken it and taken it back to their rat nest. You're kidding. How much money was it? It was $1,000. Okay. It was a good amount. So you work in a bank.

If I brought in money with holes in it, is it still legal tender? It is. It just gets classified as stinks. Okay. And as long as it's two-thirds of the note, it's still legal tender. Is it two-thirds? I heard it was more than 50%, but it has to be two-thirds of the note, and then you can still spend it.

Correct. Wow. Oh, wow. That's good to know. Okay, fascinating. Thank you, Hayley. That's good to know. Okay, fascinating. Thank you, Hayley. Very good to know. Someone texted through and they said,

my auntie was thinking about leaving my uncle, so obviously her husband, and she had been withdrawing cash and hiding it in the ceiling vent in their Airbnb. They rented it out and the Airbnb tenants found it over $10,000. No. No. No. No! No!

Oh. I mean, what a stupid hiding place. But she doesn't need to hear that at the moment. She's been through enough. But what a shocking hiding place. Don't put it in the house that you're renting out to other people. To randos. One more, Kate, on the phone.

Hi, Kate. Hi, Kate. Hi, where did you find some money, Kate? I found somebody's can bag in the public toilets in Rotorua about 10 years ago. That was mine. That was my handbag. I'm from Rotorua. That was mine.

They counted out $500 and made me wait while they counted out every cent, every dollar. Wait. So you returned it to the person and they made you wait while they counted out the cash in front of you? Yes. You're kidding, Kate. I would have then stolen the bag back from them and run away. I would have been like, I'm grateful. So what did they do when they found that all the money was still there?

Did they offer you some of the money as a thank you? Hey, they sent me a lotto ticket. It was this old couple. Yeah, okay. Well, that's nice. I said to George, we'll never see that again. And there we go. We'll never see that again. And there we go. Say it.

We'll never do that again, did you say? I'll never see the money again. Oh, you'll never see it again. Oh, right. I thought you said, well, that's the last time I return a handbag. What they didn't know is you'd replaced it with fake money and you'd taken the real money. From iHeartRadio, this is The Latest.

Grammy nominations are out today, which is always very exciting and sort of makes you reflect on the year of music. Beyonce is now officially the most nominated female in Grammy music history. Really? How many nominations did she get this time and how many all together? So nine this time for her masterpiece of an album, Renaissance. And it is a masterpiece, by the way, if you haven't listened to it. It's a fantastic album. I don't care what the haters say.

Are there haters? I feel like it's universally loved. I think there's still a few kicking around. There's Beyonce haters. If I was a music critic, I would call the album a triumph. She's got nine Grammy nominations for it. Definite triumph. She is first equal

for the most nominations with one other artist. So she's the most nominated female of all time. There's one other artist that has... An equal with someone else. Yeah.

I'll give you one guess as to who it is. It's not Jay-Z. The other artist with the same amount of nominations as her is Jay-Z. Oh my God, please tell me they've got 99 nominations each. Close.

88. Jeez, Zay, not far off. 88 Grammy nominations each across their career. Together, they're the most nominated people in Grammy history. Wow. He got five nominations at the Grammys this year. Right. She got nine.

Beyonce has won 28 of those Grammys in her career. She's won 28 of her 88. That's a lot. And how many has he won? He's won 23 of his 88. Right. So she's winning in the actual Grammy. She needs four more Grammys to become the most successful

Grammy winner of all time. So who is that? Some conductor who you would have never heard of. Right, okay. Because you know how there's lots of like movie score that wins Grammys and classical music

and all that stuff and yada yada blada blada. I wonder how many nominations Adele has had because remember that year she won like six Grammys? I wonder how many she's had. She hasn't had a career

as long as Beyonce. That's true. She's probably, because Beyonce's got Destiny's Child in the background as well. Was Adele nominated for her album? Oh, great question. I don't know. Because I mean, she had a fantastic album as well. Yeah, she really did. I'd say she would be. It's all about

Beyonce today though. She is the most nominated female of all time, equal most nominated artist of all time and on track She is the most nominated female of all time, equal most nominated artist of all time, and on track to be the most Grammy-winning artist of all time. Here you go. Adele's single, Easy On Me, is up against Beyonce's Break My Soul for Record of the Year. That's a battle.

That's a huge battle. Bree and Clint. Look, hey, this is a bit of a debate that's gone on in my household for a number of years. But something happened this morning, Clint, and I feel like enough's enough. And I want to put a stop to it. I want to get some support. But then I also want to feel the vibe of what everyone else thinks.

So this is a relationship issue that you're having. And what I take from this is you're not 100% sure you're right and you want to know No, I'm 100% sure I'm right. Are you? Yeah, I just want some support. Because I feel like you want to know how many percent you are right before you go in guns blazing into this relationship fight. I reckon I'm 99%

right. Or you think or you're 99% convinced you're right. I'm 99% convinced that I'm right. Okay, all right. Yeah, and I'll tell you why. So this is what happened this morning. The conversation that's been happening in our household for about two years, I reckon, is the debate over...

Whether global warming is real. No, that is not. Whether you should get vaccinated or not. We both... That is not the debate. Whether Jacinda Ardern is a lizard person who lives on the dark side of the moon. No. We agree on most of those conversations.

Good. But it's this really tough debate that we can't seem to agree on. It is about where you store the toilet paper in your house. Okay. So hear me out. Okay. I feel like there's not that many places to store it. But yeah, okay. That's what you your house. Okay. So hear me out. Okay, I feel like there's not that many places to store it. But yeah, okay. That's what you would think.

Yeah. So currently in our household and for the past two years, the toilet paper has been stored in the kitchen in the pantry. What? Yes. What? That's what I think. Oh, my God.

And that's not where you want it stored? Well. So do you want it in the pantry? No. Thank God. Because I thought I was working with a psychopath and I just realised. I do not want it in the pantry. And this has been literally paining me for two years.

So if you reach a bathroom emergency and you reach the end of the roll, you have to waddle to the kitchen pantry to get yourself a new roll. What do you think happened to me this morning? That is mental. So I went for wheeze this morning. Yeah. Wheeze or worse. Wheeze, yeah, I went for wheeze.

And I sat there for as long as I could and did the shake, shake, shake. Dry, dry, dry. But, you know, there's only so much time I have. And so at some point I said, right, I need to make the trip. And I got up off that toilet and I waddled into the kitchen where our curtains were open so people could see from the road. I've been to Bree's house. The kitchen is at the front of the house facing the street.

It's not ideal. But it wasn't – I made it into the kitchen, made it into the toilet paper area. But it was at that point that my dog, I turned around and she licked me on the leg. And it was close to my buttock. Right. Oh, the tall dog. The tall dog. Yeah, right.

And it was not a pleasant. Well, the dog would do the job as well as the toilet paper would. Oh, come on. Come on. Add a stretch. It was not a pleasant feeling and I thought enough is enough. Yeah. The toilet paper needs to move.

It sits in the vanity in the bathroom. So I would go one step further and I think ideal toilet roll placement is within reach of sitting on the toilet. So our vanities are within reach. That's fine. So that's where it goes. Yeah. We have a basket of toilet paper that sits very near the toilet.

Yeah, well, we can't do that because our dogs will rip it to shreds. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But in the vanity, even if it's an emergency, you kind of have to sit up a little bit. At least you're still within the bathroom realm. Yeah. In a boy-dominated household, there's an issue in storing the fresh toilet rolls

right next to the toilet because of overspray. Yeah, I don't do that. Yeah. When I used to flat with boys, I learned that really quickly. So vanity is a great option. Yeah, you want to use toilet paper that hasn't already been used. Totally. You want dry.

You want dry. Dry is the better option. You want dry ply. Yeah, it is You want dry. Dry is the better option. You want dry ply. Yeah, it is the option. So what is the question? Because I feel like this is a universal no to storing the toilet paper in the pantry. Well, I... Because I'd go as far as to say no toilet-based products should be in the food room.

Like, I don't want my toilet cleaner in there. I don't want my toilet duck in there. In fairness, it's kind of not the pantry. It's the pantry slash laundry. We've got two pantries. Oh, la, la. Because you know me. That's my one requirement.

One where the butler works. Yeah, one in the butler's pantry. But one where the laundry is. So I'd say it's more the laundry, but it's in the kitchen area. Yeah. So what's the question you want to ask? Like, where are you storing your toilet paper? If not within reach of the toilet, where do you store the toilet paper?

Yeah, and I'm not talking about one backup roll. I'm talking about the whole stash. I come home from New World with my six pack of long rolls and I dump the whole lot in the basket. And I'm like, keep this sucker as full as possible. Because guess what? Then you're done. You're not making 50 trips back to the kitchen to get bloody poo paper.

Oh, 800 dial ZM or you can text on 9696. It may seem quite a basic question. It is a basic question. We do need to know. But I just need evidence to take back to my household to finally move the toilet paper from the kitchen to the bathroom. So if not right next to the toilet, where do you store your toilet paper and why? 0800 dials at M or text on 9696. Bree and Clint.

Oh, the very serious debate is going down. I finally want to put an end to this problem I've had in my life for two years, Clint. In our household. We've been storing the poo paper, the dunny paper, in the kitchen. In the pantry. Yeah, well, it's kind of the pantry in the laundry. So is it the kitchen?

It's the kitchen. Yeah, right. You know the part I'm talking about. Oh, the little nook bit. The little nook behind the kitchen. So it does have cleaning products in it, but largely it's where you store your food. Yeah. And it's not okay, and you nook bit. The little nook behind the kitchen. So it does have cleaning products in it, but largely it's where you store your food. Yeah.

And it's not okay and you're over it. You were caught short this morning. Yeah, there's been multiple occasions where I've been caught short and it hasn't ended well for anyone. So you are, and I don't mean to reduce it back to this, but effectively in your relationship, it's a landlord-tenant set up. Your partner owns the house, you live in it. Yeah. Have you tried taking matters into your own

hands and just putting the toilet paper in the bathroom? Yeah, I did get a cease and desist letter from my landlord. You got your first written notice. I did. Because someone's texted and said, Brie, you need to get yourself one of those OG CD towers. One with

a door, then you can stack your toilet paper in there and then the dogs can't get at it and then you can put it right next to your toilet. That's a great idea. Wouldn't a CD tower look good in your bathroom? Oh, it would look so stylish. I'm into that. Hey, if it gets the toilet paper into the bathroom

and out of the kitchen, I'm king. Get a little Sanyo boom box in there as well. Get a couple of CDs in there too. Love that. So we've asked you, if not the bathroom, where do you store your toilet paper? And some wild suggestions have been coming in from people. Someone said they

keep it in their cupboard. What cupboard? In their walk-in wardrobe. Oh yeah, in their wardrobe. Yeah, that person on the top of their wardrobe. Yeah. That's a stupid place to keep it. I don't know if I'd keep it in there, but hey, at least that would be closer than the kitchen. Ina's here.

Hi, Ina. Hi, Ina. Hello. If we come to your house and we need to go to the toilet, but there's an empty roll on the thing, where do we need to go to find more? You don't have to waddle very fast in the hot water cupboard and it keeps your bum nose warm when you need some more.

I quite like that idea, Ina. So each time you get a fresh roll out, you get a warm papering down there. Exactly. But I do store a whole stash next to the toilet in a closed box with a lid on it because I just think it gets dusty by the time you finish one roll,

which you've obviously got on your roll holder. Not me, Ina. It doesn't get dusty. Oh, I've got too much information. The turnover's too high. Sorry, TMI, Ina. It doesn't get dusty. The turnover's too high. Sorry, TMI, TMI. Ina, I said before, I grew up in a house full of boys, so it could never go beside the toilet. But it was always within arm's reach of the toilet,

just in front of, not behind. Put a lid on it, yeah. Put a lid on it. God, I feel for my poor mother. She had three sons. There's nothing worse than looking into a sticky, urine-smelling bathroom. When my sister came along at the very end, she must have just gone, thank God.

Oh, thank God. Thank God I was last and all these smelly boys are leaving. Someone said, I live in a flat with seven girls. We leave it in the hallway for easy access. Still doesn't seem like the easiest access. In the hallway? Yeah. That means you still have to waddle out.

You still have to open the door and come out to get it. Yeah. Yeah. I feel like I'm going to start stashing it around the place. Just like an emergency staff, you know? I just feel like you need to have a serious conversation, like a relationship conversation with your partner. Yeah, true.

I think it's time to break up. Say it's the pantry. Yeah, it's the pantry or me. Bree and Clint. Look, if you have just started listening to the Bree and Clint show, welcome. Nau mai, haere mai.

Yeah, nau mai, haere mai. Welcome to the circus. You will probably not be aware that we're actually the leading radio show in Aotearoa for maritime and aviation-based news. Nobody stocks more aviation and maritime news than the Brinkley Show.

It's the only award we've ever won. Yeah. And technically... And it's self-awarded. It is, because they don't have awards for that. If that's how awards work, we should have been giving ourselves more awards this whole time. We should have.

What other awards could we win? There's no... Best show. Yep, best show. Honest radio show. Most fart content in New Zealand. People come for the fart content. No, I see.

Yeah, they do. They love it. Some people leave because of that. They love it. Anyway, we've got some aviation news. And this is buzzy. Air New Zealand has introduced biometric facial recognition verification at its boarding gates.

What that means is... What is that? What it means is with Air New Zealand, you don't need to use your passport or even show your boarding pass to board some of their flights now. Just your face. Just your face can let you on the plane. It's only on one route so far.

Last week they flew people from LAX to New Zealand, on Air New Zealand, and all you did was walk up to the gate and it scanned your face and it went, cool, we know who you are, get on the plane. We know you've got a ticket. But you still have to go through customs where you put your passport in and you do all that hunkabaloo.

Yeah, I guess. You do. But you're talking about when you're boarding the plane. Getting on the plane. Because you know how you have to show your boarding pass and your ticket again when you get on an international flight. Yep. None of that.

You didn't have to show your boarding pass or your ticket or your passport. Look. But you would still have to have your passport if they went let me see your passport. Not to be the negative Nancy Yeah, I'm not, yeah. But I will just throw a comment out there. Seems

like very expensive technology. I probably would have rather the money be spent on a little bit more leg room. Yeah, I see where you're coming from, I see where you're coming from. Like for what? I see where you're coming from. For me having to pull my passport or boarding pass out,

I'm not all that worried. Having to sit on a 14-hour flight with no leg room. Yeah, I hear you. Quite worried. Yeah. I guess what it is, it's the beginnings of trying to remove all the cumbersome, annoying things you have to do at an airport

where you have to do this paperwork here and you have to do this paperwork here. Yeah, it is a lot. And if they can get to a point where they just scan your face and that ticks everything off, then that'll make airports a lot easier is the idea. I feel like they've already nailed that though when you're travelling back into the country

and you don't have to wait in a line and talk to someone. You just put your passport on. That's in the country. I'm talking about getting wait in a line and talk to someone. You just put your passport on. That's in the country. I'm talking about getting out of a country. And this is in America too. We're the most strict people about getting on a plane anywhere in the world. And they'll let you do it with just your face. Yeah.

My issues were what if you're a twin, like an identical twin? But I guess if you are an identical twin, you can share a passport anyway. What if you look like crap? What if you look like... What if you've got a black eye? What if you're really hungover? Yeah. What if you went to America? What if you look like... What if you've got a black eye? What if you're really hungover? Yeah. What if you went to America for some plastic surgery?

Yeah. I mean, these are all the questions. I have a question for you, speaking of technology and flying and airports and stuff. How do planes work? No idea. That wasn't my question. No, absolutely no idea.

That wasn't my question. Would you ever fly on a plane that was completely flown by robots? Oh. I know there is obviously robot technology. So like a drone. But I'm talking about like an actual AI. Yeah. Just a robot.

No human component. Just robots. Well, again, I know very little about how planes work. But I think a lot of it is robotics now, isn't it? Like, aren't the pilots just sitting up there having a cup of tea these days? Obviously, there's autopilot. Yeah, yeah. That is, I mean, kind of.

A lot of planes land themselves now, I've heard. Again, I know nothing, but. I mean, do they completely? I think so. Do they? I don't know. I don't think so. Would I?

Yes, I would. Would you? Yeah. And I think we have to get there with cars too. We've got to stop thinking that we're smarter than robots. Mate. We are not. Mate, how many times a day does your Wi-Fi drop out?

Well, I won't be flying my plane over my home Wi-Fi. No, but just think about it. That's all technology based and maybe the AI goes offline for some reason. Boom. You sound like my dad. He's like, robots, mate, they're coming for us. Can't trust them. Haven't you seen that documentary? Which one?

That one with Will Smith, iRobot. Not good. No, I chose not to. Bree and Clint. It's hard. We're one producer down. Yeah, we're running on fumes here today and we may have lost our Google Down player.

Oh, no, we've got them back. We're good to go. She's back. Say the thing, Brie. Say the thing. Oh, it's Google Down time. Google, are you down, down, down, down, down, down, down? What the hell?

I think Google's actually... Here we go. Google Down is back. Producer Claude, the reigning champ, is away. Yeah. So it's good odds today. Not with COVID. Not with COVID.

No. Not with COVID. Definitely not COVID. Like, imagine if her family's listening and then they hear that and they're like, what? She didn't tell us. She didn't tell us. Well, she is unwell, so go and check on her anyway. Yeah, I mean, do.

Yeah. Send her some soup. But she's away this week. Don't look. Look, I mean, do, yeah. Send her some soup. Don't commune, don't look, look, Claude's family, don't look to me to keep you updated on your family member, okay? That is not my job. Like, it's when you're

away next, do you want me to say Clint has chlamydia? I think you kind of do do that. I feel like you did do that last time I was away. Okay, well, that was a bad example then. Okay, let's get on with the game. Let's just get on with the game. No one's perfect, okay? This is Google Down. This is where we try

and find out who is the fastest Googler. Natasha, it could be you today, and if it is, you'll win 50 KFC chicken dollars. Welcome to the show. Hello, thanks so much. Have you heard the game before, Natasha? I have. Okay, great. But let's just go over the rules so everyone is clear.

This is how it works. I'll be asking you the questions. I've put in these exact questions to Google, and I'm looking for the most common answer, the first answer that comes up for that exact question. First person to yell out the answer wins a point. I think that's important what she said there, Natasha. She's not looking for the right answer.

She's looking for what Google says is the right answer. The first answer that comes up for that exact question. So you just got to yell out the first thing that you see, but that is the key, the exact question that I ask. Got it. Okay, first to three points will win the game. Easy peasy. Let's do this thing.

It's Natasha versus Ella versus Clint. All right, here we go. Question number one. Easy peasy. Let's do this thing. It's Natasha versus Ella versus Clint. All right, here we go. Question number one. How old is the oldest person currently living? How old? 118 years, 278 days. 118 years, 278 days.

Got to give it to Clint. He was in first. 118 years I would have accepted, but nice work. Juan Vincent Merez Mora from Venezuela. Shout out. Amazing effort. Shout out. Amazing effort.

He probably listens to the show. Gets the podcast, yeah. Question number two, one to Clint. What is the most popular colour in the world in 2022? Bit of a random question. Blue. Blue. Grey. Grey green. That's right, Ella.

No way. Grey green is correct. Did you guess that? No, I got it on here. Oh, you did get it. On Google. Grey green, apparently. What makes a colour the most popular?

Like people are buying the most clothes? It might be in fashion. Or paint? I don't know. Yeah, it could be. It could be a range of things, but that's quite interesting. Question number three, one to Ella, one to Clint. Are you still with us, Natasha?

Yeah, yeah. I feel like you've been very close, so just stick with it. Here we go. Question number three. Grey green. I just googled the colour. Very on trend. It's very on trend.

I love grey green. It's like a foresty green, but not quite as rich. That's what I always get my love grey green. It's like a foresty green but not quite as rich. That's what I always get my nails painted as. That's delightful. Grey green. I agree. You agree. Number three.

What year was the original Charlie and the Chocolate Factory movie made? What year? 1964. 2005. 1971. That's right. Producer number. Boom, baby. 1971 is correct. I got the book. It was my mum's right. Producer Ella. Boom, baby.

1971 is correct. I got the book. It was my mum's birthday. I got the book. And I believe, Natasha, you probably got not the original. No, yeah. 2005, yeah. Yeah.

All right, here we go. Two to produce Ella. She could take out the whole game here. It's getting serious. You're in the power position. Oh, my gosh, guys. Claudia has really been holding you back, hasn't she? Oh, I know.

It's time to fly. Here we go. Question number four. How long are crocodiles pregnant for? Aw. 30 and 60, 80 to 90 days. 80 days. 40 weeks.

I am going to have to give it to Natasha only because you started with the wrong answer and said 30. Yeah, I agree. I agree. I would have accepted 80 or 90 because it is 80 to 90 days. Very cute. All right. Here we go. We've got a game.

What's cute about a crocodile? Just like it's such a, what's the word? Like a, I don't know. Dinosaur? It's just like a scary thing with cute thing meshed together. Right, okay. If you're thinking of Schnee, Schnei, Schnappi... Schnappi, Schnappi, Schnappi.

Have you seen a crocodile up close? No. Never smile at a crocodile. Really? It'll bite your lips off. Question number five. Two to Ella, one to Clint, one to Natasha. How old was Teddy Roosevelt when he died?

How old was Teddy Roosevelt? 60? 60. 60. Producer Ella has won the game. She's taken out. Wow. Steps into her power.

Natasha, you did so well. I'm going to award you the 50 KFC chicken dollars. Thanks for playing. Oh, thanks, guys. Thanks for having me. Ella, congratulations, you did so well. I'm going to award you the 50 KFC chicken dollars. Thanks for playing. Oh, thanks, guys. Thanks for having me. Ella, congratulations, mate. That was a decisive victory for me. And do you know what?

Calm. I went in calm today. You did. There was no screaming from you today. No, usually I scream. Yeah. Yeah? There you go.

Producer Ella, the reigning queen for next week. Bree and Clint. I'm going to talk dogs for a second. I and Clint. I want to talk dogs for a second. I'm keen. Always keen for some dog chat. Always keen for some doggy chat. You have two dogs? Yes.

Either of them smelly dogs? Both. Both smelly dogs? I think all dogs are pretty smelly. Are they? I don't have a dog. I've never had a dog. You know, my second dog, when she farts, you can hear it.

That's disgusting. Which makes it harder for you to blame the silent ones that you do on the dog now. It does. Doesn't it? Yeah. Because you're like, oh, Meryl. And your partner goes, no, hers are audible. That wasn't her.

Not all of them, but some of them sound like a human fart. I'm thinking of remember that clothing label Mambo and it's logo was a dog doing a poo. No it was the note coming out of the dog's bum. Yes I remember that too yeah. So this is kind of a PSA for dog owners and I'm not a dog owner

but it's trying to explain why your dog might smell so bad. I can tell you why. They lick their bum. They lick their bits. They drink out of the toilet sometimes. They roll around in anything dead outside. Yeah, yeah.

I mean, take your pick. Okay, well, cancel the lust. You've nailed it. Have I? It's a little more complex than that. I've got answers for you too about what you can do about it. Great. Okay?

So some dog breeds do smell more than other dog breeds. Okay. Naturally. What ones? I don't have the full list, but you should research that before you get a dog if you really don't want a smelly one. Because some of them secrete different oils, more oils than other dogs,

and that's due to what they were bred to do. Like if it was a dog that was bred to go fouling and get duck, it'll have an oilier coat because it spends more time in the water, that sort of thing. Labradors. And they are stinky. Labradors are meant to be in the water. Exactly right.

What about a dog's anal glands? That's going to smell. Well, actually, we're going to get to that. Oh, that's on the list? It's on the list of why your dog might smell. First reason your dog is a roller. They roll around and stuff, which you touched on. That's my second dog.

She loves anything dead. Like if we go to the park. Like what? How much dead stuff are you? If we go to the park and I see her rolling around, I know she has found something that stinks. Yeah. Something dead.

Like could be an earthworm, could be a bird, could be God knows what. At the beach it was a fish, a turtle one time, anything. They like to get it all over themselves. Because to them it smells nice. So the answer to that, if you want to prevent a stinky dog from rolling, is keep it on the leash and bath a lot. Oh, but that's not fun. No, not all of these solutions are.

That's a bad solution. Okay, fine, that's fine. One of the reasons your dog these solutions are. That's a bad solution. Okay, fine. That's fine. One of the reasons your dog might stink is because they have too much hair. Dogs with long coats often become soiled with urine or feces. What? Their own. Some breeds have excessive lip folds or hairy beards,

and a constant supply of saliva keeps it moist, allowing bacteria or yeast infections that cause an unpleasant odour. You know what I do for my dog Whitney? She's a canned terrier so she's a hairy dog. But she doesn't shed. She's a non shedding dog. So she keeps

all that stinky fur on her. Sometimes she gets a bit of poo stuck in her fur. It happens. So once a month I'll trim her butthole for her. And that's your job, actually. It is my job as her dog parent. The solution for a hairy, stinky dog is shave that bitch. Oh.

Or male dog. Yeah. Yeah. What's the word for a male dog? I think it's a... Bastard. Bastard, yeah. Shave him.

A bitzer. Dental disease. Your dog might stink and have bad breath because of dental disease. That can be tooth decay, infected gums, an abscess, or a foreign body like a bone or stick that is stuck in their mouth somewhere. Yeah, it happens. Causing dog halitosis. The answers go to the vet for that one.

Or brush their teeth. Yeah, but go to the vet first. Find out if they have an abscess. Yeah, an abscess isn't good. Ear infections on dogs can make them stink. Oh, dog ears can stink, yeah. Dogs often get water stuck in their cute little ears after swimming.

And drop-eared dogs like cocker spaniels and basset hounds have limited airflow, so the ear can't dry out. Yeah, they get a lot of ear infections, those type of dogs. They get microorganisms in there, especially bacteria and yeast. Again, the answer for that is to go to the vet.

They need some antibiotics. You know what smell I do like? And maybe this is weird. Actually, I don't know if I want to say it. What? Sometimes. You like the smell of... I like smelling a dog's paws. That's on there. Does it smell like popcorn to you?

Yeah, it smells nice. So they've talked about that. They said that's a pleasant smell. Is it? Yeah, and the smell that causes the popcorn smell? Yeah, what is it? Bacteria. Yeah, like yeast.

Yeast! But because it's a ventilated part, it's fine. Dog paws are cutest. It's actually like a healthy bacteria, and they need a certain level of bacteria. So this is taking ages. They might stink because they've got infected skin. Go to the vet. The last and definitely worst one you touched on is a smelly anal gland.

That's right. You've just got to milk it. You do. You have to milk the anal gland. Yeah. There's lots of reasons why this happens. Have you ever smelled a burst dog anal gland? No, no.

I've never had a dog, so I've never had to smell it. Oh, should I bring Whitney in and I'll do her anal gland in here? Definitely not. No, but then you can experience it. And we'll see if your nose is working again. It says that. No, good time to not have my sister smell it. Good, tomorrow, producer Ella, lock it in.

I'm going to milk Whitney's anal gland. You know, you don't have to milk it. You can take it to the vet to get it milked. I know, but it's cheaper if I do it myself. You enjoy it, eh? Put on a glove and I'll do it here for you. I'll put on a show. No, I don't have dogs so I don't have to sniff that.

You do that for me, I'll bring in a dirty baby nappy and you can smell that. I think I'd rather that. Trust me. Bree and Clint. A friend of mine asked my advice. Said, said,

is it too far gone with this person? Do you think after this happened the other night? Right. So she had been talking to these two guys. She'd met them on dating apps. They'd been talking. She'd been talking to both of them for about the same time. Do they know each other?

They don't know each other. Right. And so she... Two separate conversations. Two separate conversations. Okay. And I said to her, was there one of them that you liked more than the other? And she said, yeah, I was kind of feeling, you know, Mr. X more than Mr. Z.

Got it. Right? And anyway, she said she's a very busy person. And pretty much they were both kind of asking her to meet up around the same time. It was getting to that point. It was getting to that point and she was like, okay, she goes, I can't really pick. I like both of them.

I kind of like Mr. X a little bit more, but I want to give Mr. Zed a try. Yeah. You know, a go as well. So she was like, sweet. A try. A try. I want to give him a chance. I want to take him for a ride as well, and we'll see how we go.

Go around, kick the tires. Take him for a blat around the block. Test drive. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And she thought, oh, well, I'll just book them on the same night. I'll do it early. This is classic busy person. It is.

It is. They go, it's time maximization. It is. And you get this with busy people. You're like, we should catch up. And they go, absolutely. I've got 45 minutes on Wednesday between 2.15 and 3 o'clock. That's all I can do.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. She's bringing that into her dating life. Yeah, she pretty much is. But good on her. You know, she's getting out there. Yeah. And so she's decided she would have an early date and then a late date. So one would be a dinner date.

Yeah. And one would be drinks. Yeah. Which works. And just hope that he doesn't want to get food. Yeah. Anyway, so this is where the problem came in. So she decided that she would take the date that she wasn't as keen on, Mr. Zed.

Yep. On the first part of the date. Yeah. Because then. Leaving the opportunity that something could happen with the other guy. Exactly. Okay. So that was her plan, right?

So anyway, she goes on the date with Mr. Z and it was a really, really good date. Oh, the one she didn't think would be the best one. She was really surprised. Okay. Right? So she was really, really surprised and then she kind of, she said to me, she's like, and then I

started getting the guilts and he was kind of hinting that we should go out for drinks and I was kind of feeling the same thing but I'd booked this other date and it was too late to cancel on him. She's like, so I came clean and I told him and I was like, no!

Oh. Okay. I mean, honesty sometimes is the best policy. And I think it can be kind of endearing because you say, look, I've got to be honest with you. I didn't expect this date to go as well as it has. That's so

brutal. Is it? I'd be out. Is it? I'd be out. Would you? I'd be out. This is why I don't date. You were my least favourite, so I put you first. Well, you know. You tell him the whole plan. Yeah, okay, I've heard it out loud now. She could have just said, look, I'll be

honest, I had two dates set up for tonight. I'm very busy. It's a bit of a backhanded compliment. And, yeah. Okay, so she tells him? She tells him he got a little bit annoyed. A'm very busy. It's a bit of a backhanded compliment. And yeah. Okay so she tells him? She tells him he got a little bit annoyed. A little bit annoyed. Did she tell him and say I have to go to this other date?

Pretty much. She's like I'm not the type of person So she was leaving? Yeah she's like I'm not the type of person but she was like I thought it'd be nice because it was me trying to be like I really want to go. Although treat him mean keep him keen is a real thing when it comes to you girls and us boys. Like treating you guys mean.

Totally. Keeping us at arm's length. I do that to you all the time. So I'm still here. That's why I pull pranks on you all the time. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So what happened? She went on the second date?

Anyway, she went on the second date and she said it was not great. Right. She had them the wrong way around. So she was completely, yeah, wrong. She said, she goes, I'll put my hand up. That's good. She's clear about what she wants. But then the other guy hasn't messaged her back.

Oh. Oh, no. So she could have messed it up. Maybe. I need to message her because I'm really invested now as to whether. We all are. Yeah, whether he's. I'll message her tonight and ask her again. Maybe. I need to message her because I'm really invested now as to whether I'll message her tonight and ask her again. I need to know where this is going. I hope

he doesn't pack a tanty and ruin what could be a really good thing. In fairness. But I do get it if he does. Would you? Do you though? Because they've never met up before. She didn't owe him anything. They'd been talking.

She'd been talking to each of them for about three weeks. And if you're just dating as adults, there is no commitment there. I think it's just the fact that she had booked one directly after him. And she'd booked it assuming that his date was not going to be as good as the second one. But she didn't say that. No, but it's implied. But is it because she went out for dinner with him?

Everybody knows. Everybody knows you put the drinks on. I think he had to pay for the dinner. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's implied. Well, he didn't have to pay, but I think he did. Fascinating. I have never dated two people on the same night.

You haven't? No, absolutely not. Does kissing multiple people count? Because I've done that. No, that doesn't count. Was it ever a thing for you where you'd be like, I remember one year for my birthday, I was like, I think it was. Pre-COVID, eh?

Yeah, pre-COVID. I think it was my 21st birthday and I was like, I'm going to kiss 21 people to celebrate my 21st birthday. Sounds a lot like my 21st birthday. How many did you get to? Who knows? I don't remember. Three?

I think my mum kept counting for it, shall we? I thought you were going to say I counted my mum as one. Anyway, this isn't about me. This is about you listening and whether you have been brave enough to go on multiple dates on the same day. Maybe it's a thing. Maybe Bree and I haven't dated in so long that that's on the same day. Yeah. Maybe it's a thing. Maybe Brie and I haven't dated in so long that that's what everybody does now. 0800 dials at M or text to

9696. We want to know, have you dated multiple people on the same day? Yep. And how did it go? How did it go? And how many? And how did you do it? Yeah. And did you tell them? Were you honest? Or did you lie? And did they run into each other? Yeah.

Like that scene on Mrs. Doubtfire, you had to keep going from table to table to figure it out. They're like, wait a minute, you were just in a red dress. Have you organised multiple dates on the same day? A friend of mine ran into a bit of trouble when she organised two dates on the same night, an early one and a late one, and she ended up having a better time on the date she thought wasn't going to be as good, the early date.

Had to come clean. She told him and then went on the other date, wasn't as good, and now she hasn't heard back from the first date. That's even more awkward to then have to go and sit through another date. You've had an actual connection with somebody and then out of obligation you have to go and sit through another date. Like you've had an actual connection with somebody and then out of obligation you have to go and do this other date.

Well, that is the risk that you take. The really romantic thing to do would have been to say no. I'm going to cancel the next date. Because I have a connection with you. And the other person might feel stink, but you would go, no, I'm going to take a chance on love. But do you think a little part of her brain went, it was good? What if it's better?

What if it's better? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. We wanted to know if this happens if you organise multiple dates on the same night. We've had a text message from somebody who said, Cam Mansell, who does ZM's Late Show, once told me he went on four Tinder dates in one day. Is that true, Cam? I would love to know who this person is. We've put

their number into both of your phones. We can't figure them out. That was not an answer to the question, Cameron. Yeah, actually, that was very politician of you. Maybe I should get into politics. It definitely has happened, but when you're desperate, you know, you're just gonna... I don't think you are desperate if you have four dates. Oh. Desperate

for love, a relationship. You're like, so what are you saying? You're saying quantity over quality and you're bound to land one. Well, Ed Sheeran once said you've got to write 100 songs to get one good one. So maybe you have to go on 100 dates to get one good one. You've got to write 100 dates to get one good one. Just tell us quickly, how did you stagger them out? Did you do like a brunch date, a lunch date,

a dinner and a drinks? Yes. Is that it? That's it. Oh, easy. God, that sounds exhausting. Doesn't it? Can you imagine how much small talk you'd have to make across the day? Was there a standout? To be honest, I can't actually remember. Just imagine.

Jeez, he dates so many people. Cam just runs his own Bachelor. Yeah. He's like, welcome to the Bachelor New Zealand. He's obviously a good date. Hit him up in the DMs on Instagram, at Cam Mentzel. Thanks, Cam. If Warner Brothers need a new Bachelor, hit me up. I've got some time. Tyler's here. Hi, Tyler. Hi, Tyler.

Hi, guys. How are you? Good, thanks. Have you done this before, Tyler? Multiple dates on one day? Not on one day, but day after each other and the second guy cancelled on me, so I gave the first guy a second chance and now we've been together

for two years, live together and have a dog. Yay! It was meant to be. That guy was meant to cancel on you. Does he know about the other date? No, he doesn't, so hopefully he's not listening. You've never told him that there was another date planned?

No, absolutely not. I don't want him thinking that he was kind of the backup. Oh, no! Was he? Can I just check, was he the backup? Like, did you expect the other guy to be better than the guy that you're now with? Yeah, absolutely. The other guy was a wine buyer and I love wine

and so I thought I'll get through this first date. A wine buyer? Oh my God, so pretty much the same situation as my friend. Yeah. Oh, maybe it's a serial guy that keeps cancelling on people. Yeah, could be. And causing happy relationships. Yeah, right.

Okay, thank you, Tyler. That's fascinating. Simone is here. Hi, Simone. Hi, Simone. Hey, how's it going. That's fascinating. Simone is here. Hi, Simone. Hi, Simone. Hey, how's it going? Tell us how many dates in one day, Simone? So for a number of weeks, I was doing three dates, and it was midweek, and then Fridays

and Saturdays also. So how hot are you? Yeah. So three dates a week, did you say, or three dates in a day? Oh, no, no, three dates in one evening, yeah. So Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays generally were the days. Wait, nine people a week? Yeah.

Were you just trying not to pay for groceries everywhere? I actually, no, I was a good date. You know, I'd have, I'd go Harvey's. Oh, that's good. I'd just come out of like a 19-year marriage, so all of this was so new to me and I didn't want to wait for it. Right, okay. I understand now. You do you, babe. You need to

sample all the chocolates in the box. What did someone of those nine, so nine dates a week, what did one of those nine need to do to get a second date? It would have to be pretty spectacular, right? Because you're out there trying to taste all the flavours. No, you just had to make me laugh, to be honest.

Oh, that's nice. The whole thing was about feeling comfortable. Imagine if Simone was actually the bachelorette. She basically is. You pretty much are. Yeah, that's fascinating. Thank you, Simone. That's incredible, Simone. I'm just amazed. The sheer stamina. The sheer stamina of Simone.

Mate, just the sheer organisation skills to have that many dates in a week. I just want to go back to Simone quickly. Simone, so you said you were married for 19 years. How old were you when you were doing your nine dates a week? 37. Oh, that's incredible, Simone. I barely go out once a week.

I know. I still get ID'd when I go to bars. So she's obviously a babe. Great personality. Wednesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays. And then church on Sundays, right, Simone? Yeah, for sure.

Are you in a relationship now? I am, yeah. Yeah, no, I am. With nine guys. God, what did he have to do? Did he have to win the Hunger Games? Let's go to Samantha finally. Hi, Samantha.

Hi, Samantha. Hi. Have you dated more than one person on the same night? Yeah, I had two dates to the same thing. Two dates of the same thing? No, I had two dates to a school dance. Wait. Wait, you had two dates to the same event?

Yes. And they didn't know? They found out very quickly. How did they find out? They both met me at the door for the dance. Oh my god, Samantha. Samantha, you boss babe. Did you go into this thing terrified that they were going to find out or you were like, oh well

they can fight each other to the death for my love? I was very terrified, and I went with my friend instead because they found out and both left me alone. Oh, Samantha. This sounds like the plot line of a Hollywood film. Well, there you go. Play the field, everybody. Get out there.

The world is your oyster if you are a single person. Nine is the bar set by Simone. Yep. Beat that. Beat that. Beat that. It's my birthday. It's my birthday. Free and clean.

Birthday banger. All right, here we go. Birthday banger will get you home. This is where we figure out your birth, what was top of the charts on your 16th birthday. We're going to guess what your birthday is. We will just guess it. Was there a game we did that time? Oh, we did. Yeah. And we tried to guess people's... is. We will just guess it. What was that game we did that time? Oh, we did, yeah.

And we tried to guess people's... Birthday. Birthday, right? Yeah. We went month. No, we went year. No, we went decade. Oh, decade.

Year. Year. Month. Month. Day. We nearly got there. We nearly got there. We should do that again.

We should do that. What happened to that? Okay, let's start off Birthday Banger with... Eden. Okay, you want to start with Eden? Sure. Let's go to Eden. Hi, Eden.

Hi, Eden. Eden. Oh, sorry. Hello. Hello, there you are. There she is. How's your day going, Eden? Oh, pretty bloody reparee.

Oh, good to hear, mate. Good to hear. What's your birthday, mate? 1st of January, 1997. Oh, New Year's Day. Where's birthday on the face of the earth? You were 16 in 2013, and Eden, this was number one. I'm going to pop some Jags.

Only got $20 in my pocket. This song was the biggest song in the world on New Year's Day 2013. I remember it. Yeah, we just saw it live at Friday Jams live on Sunday. It revived the whole song for me. Yeah, it's so good. Do you love this song? Eden, did you come to Friday Jams?

No, I didn't. I'm too poor. Oh, fair enough. Fair enough, fair enough. You're honest, Eden, and I like that about you. Well, you should go shopping at the thrift shop. Wait there, Eden. We're going to do a birthday banger for Lucy.

Hi, Lucy. Hi, Lucy. Hi, it's Lucci. Lucci. Lucci. I saw it up there. I thought it might be Lucci, but I didn't have the confidence to finesse that spelling so hard.

But Lucci, I'm glad it is, and welcome to the show. Where does that name come from, Lucci? It's Italian. Italian, yeah. I would have thought so. Yeah, to the show. Where does that name come from, Lucci? It's Italian. Italian, yeah. I would have thought so. Yeah, well, that's what I assumed. It's short for Luciana. Luciana.

Luciana. I like it. All right, mate. Tell us your birthday. 1st of July, 1985. Right, that means you were 16 in 2001. And on the 5th of July in 2001, this had a number one hit. Something in the water.

All of these artists just performed at ZM's Friday Jams Live. Shaggy. What do you reckon, Lucci? Yeah, she's a banger. She's a banger. She's a banger. Okay, wait there, Lucci. We're going to do one more birthday banger for Mika.

Kia ora, Mika. Hi, Mika. Hi. Hi. Mika, have you called up to do your mum's birthday banger? Yes. Okay. That's nice of you.

What's your mum's name? Marissa. Marissa. And when was she born? Penalty in 1983. Penalty in 1983. Penultimate in 1983. I'm really excited. Oh, good.

We're excited that you called through. So she was 16 in 1999. And are you ready, Mika? Yes, I'm very ready. Here's your mum's birthday banger. When I'm at work, do I lose my mind? Give me a sign. Oh, Mika! It's Britney Spears.

Do you know that one? Um, yes. You do? Oh, good. That's your mum's birthday banger. She's got a fantastic one. Okay, wait there, Mika. We want to talk to you again if you're the winner.

So please hold on the line. We have to decide between Shaggy Angel, Macklemore Thrift Shop and Brittany Baby one more time. I would be happy with any, but I feel like it's probably Brittany for me. I got to go Brittany and I feel like Mika will lose it. Mika, congratulations. You and mum just won birthday banger.

Yes! Amazing, Mika. You've done it. We're playing your mum's song. This is for you and her, okay? Worth it just for that little scream. Oh, my God. Brian Clint, here's Britney from 1999.

Oh, baby, baby, how was I supposed to know? Bree and Clint. A big day in world history because the world's population has just hit an estimated, so that is the key thing there, estimated 8 billion people. Wow, congratulations, world. I knew you could do it. When I was a child and I heard that the world's population had hit 6 billion,

I was like, well, why don't we increase it by another 25% within my lifetime? Yeah, that seems like a good idea. Why don't we exponentially increase the population of this planet? Global warming and all that kind of thing. Don't focus on it. Anyway. Elon Musk is going to save us. Just one more statistic for you.

So it's projected that the world's population will reach around 8.5 billion by 2030. Yeah, and then peak? And then we'll get to 9.7 billion in 2050. Yeah. And then 10.4 billion by – how do you say 2,100? 2,100. Yeah. 2,100. 2,100.

I have read stuff that says the world's population will peak and then it will start – Well, it seems like that because, I mean – No, yours is going up and up and up. I know, but not drastically like it has in our lifetime. Oh, it's going to flatten off. It's kind of going slower. Yeah.

Kind of? Yeah. Yeah. Well, one thing I know is New Zealand's housing situation, we've got houses for everybody. Yeah, it's going to get way better. Hey, I thought we could play a game of the population game. To celebrate the world's population,

not really a celebration because it's kind of bad, hitting 8 billion people. And Stephanie, you're on board to play, mate. Hi, Steph. Hi, how are you? Good, thank you, Steph. Are you excited about reaching 8 billion for the global population? Ah, well.

You're one of them. You're one of them. I know. Yeah, we're all one of them. You're one of them. I know, I know. Yeah, we're all one of them. Yeah. All right. Here we go. I'm going to ask you a question,

and you just have to buzz in with your name and give me the answer. So is it me versus Steph? You versus Steph. Okay, got it. Let's go. Question number one. What is the population of New Zealand, and you need to pick the closest number. Clint.

Multi-choice? It's multi-choice. 1,100,050 1,120,000 1,120,000 or 1,100,000 The population of New Zealand. I've done something wrong here. We're a team of five million, mate.

Haven't you been watching the COVID ads for the last three years? I think I meant five million, 150,000. I'm really stuffed up. Okay, Steph's buzzed in. What do you reckon, Steph? Well, I've sort of lost track of it. Yeah, me too. Let's just write that question off.

I'm having a mare today. I'm so sorry, Steph. It's okay. You'll get it. Let's have another one. Let's just go to question number two. What city in the world has the largest population? It's multi-choice.

Is it Tokyo, Delhi, or Shanghai? Clint. Delhi. Stephanie. Clint. I'm going to say Delhi. Both of you have said Delhi. That's incorrect. Oh. Stephanie, I'm going to say Delhi. Both of you have said Delhi.

That's incorrect. Oh. Stephanie, I'm going to give you another guess. Tokyo or Shanghai? Shanghai. That's wrong as well. It's Tokyo. And Japan.

Tokyo has 37 million people that live in that city. Right. And Delhi has 29 million. Shanghai, 26 million. You learn something new every day. All right. Question number three. Out of Brisbane and Perth, who has the bigger population? Tiffany.

Yes, Steph? I'm going to go Brisbane. That's correct. Brisbane has 2.4 million. Perth, right behind them on 2.2 million. All right, we are one to Steph. Question number four. What is the 10th most populated place in New Zealand?

Is it... 10th? The 10th. Okay. Is it Dunedin, Hamilton, Hastings, Rotorua, Nelson or Tauranga? Clint. Yes, Clint. Rotorua, Nelson or Tauranga? Clint. Yes, Clint. Rotorua.

Close, but no. Steph, you want to give it a stab? Hastings. That's right. Hastings with 90,100 as their population. New Zealand is so small, eh? That's the 10th biggest place in New Zealand. Brisbane, just across the ditch, has got 2.2 million.

Okay, one more question. One more, one more. Celebrating the population hitting 8 billion. Some population stats. What is the current population of London? Is it 10.1 million, 8.5, 9.5, or 11.4? Clint. Yes, Clint.

The 10 one. 10.1? Yeah. Incorrect. Steph, to.4? Clint. Yes, Clint. The 10 one. 10.1? Yeah. Incorrect. Steph, to go the hat trick, 9.5. The 11. Yes. Did you say 9.5?

Oh, it was close. That is correct. Somewhere around 9. Stephanie is the winner. You got them all and I got none around nine. Stephanie is the winner. You got them all and I got none of them. Well done, Steph. You've won the population game.

And as a prize, we are sending you to the most densely populated place on earth. Congratulations. Hooray. Awesome. Congratulations. A one-way ticket to India, I think. India? Yeah. India?

Or China. Or China. It's one of those. One of those. India. India. India. Okay. All right. It's one of those. One of those. India. India, okay. All right. We should believe Steph.

She's been right so far. Brie and Clint. I told you before, there is beef going down between Marmite and Vegemite. And look, it's getting personal out here, okay? Just so we know where we stand, Brie, you're team Vegemite, aren't you? I grew up eating Vegemite. Yeah. So I would be team Vegemite. And I grew up eating Vegemite. Yeah. So I would be team Vegemite.

And I'm ride or die Marmite. Yeah. Okay. So we are on opposite sides of this. So we'll start with where it originates. Have you seen all the scandal on Twitter at the moment where people are buying themselves the blue tick for $8 and then impersonating big companies?

Like Bree, you could impersonate the Birkenstock company if you wanted to. You set up an account called... Oh, as in change my Twitter to look like the Birkenstock. Just start a new Twitter account called IamBirkenstocks and pay $8 for the verification tick and people will assume that you're the real Birkenstock. Got it, got it. Someone bought Coca-Cola. They bought a tick for a Coca-Cola account

and they said, if this tweet gets a thousand likes, we'll put the cocaine back in. That went viral. Someone impersonated a really big pharmaceuticals company in America, a company who sells insulin that diabetics use. Yeah, very important.

And they sell it for a crazy markup. Too much. Like way too much money. Yep. And they tweeted it for a crazy markup. Too much. Like way too much money. Yep. And they tweeted good news, we're making insulin free. Amazing. And they said they were this pharmaceutical company. That company lost millions of dollars

from that one tweet. Did they? Good. Yeah. Well, sorry, I shouldn't probably get so passionate. Just give people life-saving drugs. The sentiment is... Stop making money off drugs that people need to live. Yeah, that you've cost the bad guys money. That is definitely it.

So here in New Zealand, Marmite, well, sanitarium, but the Marmite company has done it to Vegemite. What have they done? They set up a fake Vegemite account called at Vegemite for real. Is it something like, hi, Vegemite account. Oh no. Called at Vegemite for real. Is it something like hi, Vegemite here. We just wanted to say we think

Marmite is better. It's almost exactly what they said. Really? Is that what they said? So they paid for the blue text and they looked like a real account. They said a jar of Vegemite is their profile picture and they tweeted, it's time to come clean. Marmite is better than Vegemite. It always has been. Shots fired, right? That is shots fired from Marmite is better than Vegemite. It always has been. Shots fired, right?

That is shots fired from Marmite. That's dangerous. That's dangerous starting that fight. Is it? Or is it just a bit of banter? Because the handle of the account, like if you did any of your research, you'd see that was their first ever tweet. And the handle

is Vegemite for real. Vegemite, keep it real. The account has since been deleted. So I think maybe the joke didn't go down very well with the Vegemite company. I don't think it did either. Do you reckon whoever the employee was, because someone is employed by Marmite Sanitarium.

To do that, yeah. And they would be the person. It'll be a Gen Z who's up to date with the social media trends. Can you imagine? And they would have gone, this is crack up. And then someone in the sanitarium board

would have gone, there are millions of dollars at stake here. You're going to be sued by the entire Vegemite company. And then the Gen Z goes, sweet as I got another idea and it's just a picture of the Vegemite plant with that Shrek with the leather on, dancing on top of the Vegemite plant. They're like, this

will get our marketing back on track. It'll be great. No, trust me. Trust me. It's trending at the moment. Last thing for you. Who do you think came first, Vegemite or Marmite? In New Zealand and Australia. In New Zealand and Australia. I, judging by you bringing this question to the table, Marmite. So Vegemite was created in 1923. Yep. Marmite. Sanitarium bought the rights to distribute Marmite in New Zealand and Australia in 1908.

She's way before. Yeah. God, they still haven't got it as good as Vegemite. Vegemite sucks. Marmite rules. Zidim's Brand Clint. haven't got it as good as Vegemite. Vegemite sucks. Mum, mate rules. Brinkland ZM.
