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

Did you guys realise
that? Two weeks away. Two weeks.
You've made my day.
How good is that? You have
just. We are two weeks away. Less
than two weeks. Yeah. Life's
about to get good again. Isn't that awesome?
I feel like we're like grumpy
beers in hibernation when it's not daylight saving. We're about to get good again. Isn't that awesome? I feel like we're like grumpy bears in hibernation
when it's not daylight saving.
We're about to get a whole...
Or it is daylight saving.
I don't know which way I run it works.
I don't care either.
A whole another hour of daylight.
How good.
Everything is starting to get good again.
Yep.

Yeah.
It's raining less.
The interest rates are down.
How good.

No. Who won? The ladiesies on 74. Did we update the score from Horizon? No.
Who won? The ladies I think. You think? Oh,
no, it was, yeah, there was two
ladies, remember? That's right. Oh, that's
extra confusing. And then it got confusing. And then I said the wrong thing.
You said the tradies had won.
We'll go into the archive and figure that out.
Was it the ladies or the tradies, producers?
Do you remember? Nah, we'll figure it out.
We'll figure it out. Don't worry.
We'll make sure the score is up today.
We'll make sure.
Pretty tight.
We've got to get it right.
Our tradie is calling from Auckland, 27,
and they just bought Snoop Dogg sketches.
Damn.
Welcome to the show, Ellie.
Hi.
Hi, Ellie.
Are you talking about, like, shoes?
Like, sketches?
Snoop Dogg makes sketches?
Yeah, limited edition.
They've got camo and leopard print.
Do they have the heelies in them?
No, these are
like flat. Damn.
Oh, I've heard Ellie
that in those special edition
Snoop Dogg sketches they've got a little
slide out pocket
in the back of the shoe
that you can put your weed in there.
I can't confirm or deny that.
I like it.
Ellie, our tradie, is taking on our lady today,
also from Auckland.
They're 38 and they're a truck driver.
Welcome to the show, TJ.
G'day, TJ.
How are you going?
Good, thanks.
You could have been our tradie as a truck driver.
Ellie, what's your trade?
I don't have a trade, so we could swap.
You should swap.
TJ, are you happy to play for the tradies today?
Yeah, all right.
Okay, there we go.
Okay, they're swapping.
Here we go.
Okay, TJ, we're going to go with buzzers as names today, okay?
TJ and Ellie, that's how you buzz in.
And the first person to three correct answers will get $50 cash.
Good luck, everyone.
Question number one.
It's officially what language week this week?

That is correct.
Nice work.
One to the tradies.

What country did sushi originate in?
Ellie. Ellie got in there. Japan. Nice, Ellie sushi originate in? LA.

Question number three.
The Black Ferns played at Twickenham on Sunday morning
in front of 41,500 people.

Who would have thought TJ played for both teams?
You're so great, TJ.
Oh, that's nice of Ellie.
Thank you.
Ellie's all good.
She got those Snoop Dogg sketches.
Yeah, I mean, she's going to be fine no matter what.
It's already a good day for Ellie, so we're all good.
It's a great day for Ellie.
Bree and Clint.
ZM, Bree and Clint.
Sabrina Carpenter and Taste.
It's a real Sabrina Carpenter often here at the moment, eh,
to figure out who's the biggest Sabrina Carpenter fan.
I think it's me.
Because I've had a dream about her.
Yeah, you did have that dream.
I had a dream that her and I...
Careful.
Dated.
That was the dream.
It was actually really wholesome.
Was it?
Yeah.
Oh, okay.
In your dream, are you and Sabrina Carpenter taking it slow? Yeah.
Yeah, okay, that's nice. We're going steady. That's nice.
It's not the dream I had.
Our producer, Ella,
our producer, Ella, came to us
today with, you've got a bit of a family
conundrum that you need help with?
Yes, yeah. It's the classic
what do I get for a birthday, but
particularly the big birthday, which is my
sister's 21st.
Oh.
One of the milestone birthdays, I'd say.
Yeah.
Big, big birthday.
So you want to get her a gift that means something, right?
Absolutely.
I instantly went to jewellery.
Like, this is the time I want to spend some money on her.
Something she'll keep for the rest of her life
or until she loses it on a night out.
Exactly. Yeah. Like someone goes, oh, where'd you get that? And she goes, oh, my sister got it for my 21st. My 21st. Something she'll keep for the rest of her life Or until she loses it on a night out Exactly
Yeah, like someone goes, oh where'd you get that?
And she goes, oh my sister got it for my 21st
And you said to her, what would you like for your 21st birthday?
And she said
She wants a drink bottle or shorts
She gave me a Google Doc and that's the gist of it
What the hell?
Workout clothes
For her 21st?
Room decor.
She's not going to have, you know, a pair of...
Gum!
Lulu lemons in 10 years and go, oh, I can't get rid of these.
Chewing gum.
Gum!
She put gum.
Ha, ha, ha.
Gum?
What type of gum?
She just said gum.
No.
Are you joking?
We need to brainstorm here.
No, we need to brainstorm.
I need help.
She doesn't know what she's talking about.
No, she doesn't.
She doesn't know what she wants. No. You do need to brainstorm. I need help. She doesn't know what she's talking about. No, she doesn't. She doesn't know what she wants.
No. You're right, Ella.
The 21st, and you're a nice sister for
wanting to do something significant. Heck yeah.
This is the chance
to do it. I've got some
great ideas, but I think we've all been writing
down some ideas and then you can just pick your favourite.
What about some stuff from our own lives? Do you remember what you got
for your 21st? I don't think
I got anything. What? Didn't you? No, I was
living in America at the time and everyone just kind of
forgot about my birthday. Oh, really?
Like, my family and stuff.
Are 21sts a big thing in America?
Yeah. Well, yeah, because that's the actual
drinking age. Oh.
Yeah. So, whereas
like here, it's been, you know, it's a bit
weird because like 18's a drinking age.
So, I feel like 18 is more of a milestone.
I got a watch for my 21st.
Did you?
And I thought, I'll wear this watch forever.
But I chose a really like on-trend guest watch.
Oh, no.
Which does not look cool anymore.
You chose a guest man's watch.
Yeah, exactly.
Really puts me inside your mind When you were Yeah Exactly
So I've still got it
But I don't wear it
Yeah
It's not like
It's not a
Bust out my rectangular
Guess what
Sorry to excuse the pun
But it's not
A timeless piece
It's not a
Thank you
Thank you
I'll be here all afternoon
So what are we getting
Your sister for her
21st birthday
Let's come up with some ideas
I know Okay I've got the best idea I think we can just stop here Oh okay I'll be here all afternoon. So what are we getting your sister for her 21st birthday? Yes, let's come up with some ideas.
I know.
Okay.
I've got the best idea.
I think we can just stop here.
Oh, okay.
I reckon you should get her a cockatiel.
What the heck is that?
A bird?
Yeah.
I always get confused between a cockatiel and a cocker spaniel,
so thank you for saying the perfect thing. A cockatiel is a bird.
It's got the cute little orange cheeks.
How long does a cockatiel live for?
It can live 15 years.
Do they repeat things?
Can you train it?
They can speak, yeah.
You can train them.
They're a great pet.
Where do I get one?
Or a budgie, depending on your budget.
Oh, budgies last forever.
Yeah.
Cockatiels can live to be 30.
Oh, there you go.
See, that's a great gift.
This bird could be with her on her 50th.
You'd have to get
the cockatiel
on the 21st present too.
You would.
I'm not doing that.
What do you get a cockatiel
for a 21st?
I hadn't thought about that.
A seed bell?
Guess what?
Guess what?
Yeah, rectangle one.
Claudia, what did you get
for your 21st?
Do you remember?
Yes, I do remember.
I got a copy of
Disney's Aladdin on DVD.
Oh my goodness.
Time loss. Yeah. It's a classic on DVD. Oh, my goodness. Timeless.
Yeah.
It's a classic.
Yeah.
It is a classic.
If it was Blu-ray, that would have been a crap gift.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, DVD.
DVDs will be here forever.
I reckon I've got some other ideas.
Let's go around the room.
What's your idea?
What can she get Ella?
Can Ella get her sister for her 21st?
I feel like the go-to present in New Zealand,
and this only works if she hasn't already got it,
Greenstone. Oh, yeah, that's a great if she hasn't already got it, Greenstone.
Oh, yeah, that's a great one.
That's beautiful.
Oh, were we meant to come up with actual ideas?
What, are we actually helping her here?
That would be really lovely.
She does have one.
I mean, that's what I did too.
I think you should get her a drag queen wig.
Okay, so that is an investment.
I want to spend some money on her.
Like one of the expensive ones.
But she's not a drag queen.
Yeah, but what if she goes into drag?
That could be a new hobby.
Okay, yeah, reasonable idea, I guess.
Does she have interest?
Does she like travelling?
Because you could splurge and get her a whole travel wallet set situation
or luggage or something useful, you know?
That or an engraved samurai sword.
Oh, even better.
What?
It's a timeless gift.
She can hang it on the wall as an art piece.
She said she wanted room decor.
You're right.
How often do you see a samurai sword at the Salvation Army?
People keep those.
Guys, I came to you for help.
Breathe.
It's never going to go out of fashion.
I was thinking like a compact, like a mirror,
like a nice, and you could get it engraved.
She's not 50.
No, but she'll have it until she is.
Yeah, maybe.
A lower back tattoo of her name on your lower back.
Okay, this is not going the way I thought it was going to go.
I mean, you don't have to get it on the lower back.
I have given her a hand poke tattoo on her bum,
so maybe it's time she could do it on me.
Okay, we don't want to know what goes on behind closed doors.
Yeah, that's private.
COVID was weird.
Bree and Clint.
Last week we talked about the 2024 Bird of the Year competition
Of course
And this week it's over
What, it's a big...
It's finished already
How long does it run for?
I don't know
I only heard about it last week
But it's already been picked
Maybe they tried to keep it quiet after What's-His-Name tried to hijack it
You say that, I think there could be some truth to that
I've always been very sceptical about Bird of the Year.
I reckon they just share it around
so that all the birds get a
fair chance and every
bird is important so we have to
celebrate every bird. BS! We want to vote
on which is the best bird and if that's the
same bird every year, then so be it.
And I think that was the main issue
with John Oliver last year.
Gotcha. Championing the Pūtiki-tiki because the bird of the year,
people were like, it's not the Pūtiki-tiki's turn.
It's the grey-bearded fanny wobbler's turn.
You know?
I mean, in fairness.
Oh, grey-bearded fanny wobbler.
The fanny wobbler is a great bird.
It's a great bird.
It's fantastic.
Yeah, and it's time.
It's time will come.
It's a timeless bird. It's a timeless bird. And it's time. It's a timeless bird.
Anyway, the 2024 bird
has been named. We all picked a
bird last week. Of course. So you'll be keen to
know if your bird came in first, won't
you? Yes, I'll be very keen to know the
results. Ella, you were very passionate about your
bird. You chose the...
Doesn't even remember. The Toho was your bird. Thank you.
I saved it
once. Claudia, you were very passionate about your bird.
You chose the...
The Pātiki, the brown teal.
Thank you, Claudia.
You're welcome.
Bree, you were very passionate about your bird.
You chose the...
It was the Tahu.
The Kahu.
Oh, I was close.
Close.
I'll give you that.
Thank you.
You liked the Swamp Harrier.
That's your bird.
I did love the swampy ones.
And I was very passionate about the Antipodean Albatross
because it sounds classy.
Yeah.
You know?
Well, the results are in.
This year.
Come on, Kahu.
The bird of the year is the Hoihor.
Is that my one?
What bird is that?
It's a yellow-eyed penguin.
It's unique.
H-O-I-H-O.
Oh, something different came up when I Googled it.
You spelled it wrong.
I shouldn't have put that on the work internet.
It's a yellow-eyed penguin.
Cute.
It's unique.
Oh, I love penguins.
It's a little penguin.
It's unique to Aotearoa.
They reckon it could be the world's rarest penguin species.
Really?
All of our birds are on the brink of collapse, eh?
Every single bird that we have, they're like,
there's 12 of them left and their biggest enemy is fresh air.
None of them can fly.
Last year, there was 70 of them,
but a strong breeze came through and wiped out an entire colony.
And now we've got three left.
It is very cute.
This bird, this is the weird thing about Bird of the Year.
This bird won and it only got 6,000 votes.
Is that it?
That's it.
Wait, how many people are voting?
50,000.
We could read this.
This is what I'm saying to you.
I think next year we pick a bird.
Let's change the tables on this thing.
And I think, if we're going to do this,
we pick the scabbiest
brown seagull. Yep.
You know how you've got regular seagulls and then you've got those big
manky ones? The ginger seagulls.
The ginger seagulls. Yeah. And they're a bit bigger
but they've often got a bung foot.
Can we find one of those? Yep.
We find the ugliest bird. Yeah, we find the ugliest
bird we can find, which arguably John Oliver did with the Puteke-Teki. But I reckon we find one of those. We find the ugliest bird. We find the ugliest bird we can find, which arguably
John Oliver did
with the Pūtiki-tiki.
But I reckon we find
not even a species.
We go down to Mission Bay
and we find one fricking bird.
Find a pigeon with no toes.
Yeah.
We cage it.
We do a photo shoot
with it.
And we go
and we submit it
to Bird of the Year.
And we go,
we're only releasing
this bird if it wins.
We go into hiding and we say this, vote for this bird or the year and we go we're only releasing this bird if it wins. We go into hiding
and we say vote for
this bird or the bird freaking gets
it. We bird nap it. Yeah, we bird
nap it. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Are we in? I don't know.
Yeah, we'll workshop it. I don't want to
go on the record and say that I'm
in, but between you and I.
Because Bree, if you're in, they have to
be in, okay? Our name's on the poster. They do what we say. They have to do what we say. Sc, Brie, if you're in, they have to be in. Our name's on the poster.
They do what we say.
They have to do what we say.
Scabby birds, scabby seagulls of the world, watch out.
It's time for the latest.
From iHeartRadio, this is the latest.
Elton John is in the news at the moment
talking about how he will release his 32nd studio album around Christmas or just before.
32nd?
32nd studio album.
You know you've released a lot of music when you can't name all the names of your own album?
Yeah.
You know?
It's the 32nd one.
Yeah, exactly.
He apparently wanted to release it so it coincided with his new documentary
That's coming out
Called Elton John Never Too Late
But he was in the news
Remember he had that really bad eye infection
Oh yeah
So that's put the release date back a little bit
But it should be out before the end of the year
People are also speculating over
Whether there will be any Collabs on the album
Of course there will, he's cracked that code
He figured that out on the last album didn't he
Because he was asked back in
Recently actually
He was asked you know
Is there anyone you would love to do a collaboration with
And he mentioned
People like Sabrina Carpenter
Billie Eilish, Taylor Swift
Olivia Rodrigo, Charlie
XCX and Gracie Abrams.
Crazy that he has picked the
top selling, most famous
artists in the world right now as his dream
collaborators. Well, he's not a stupid man,
Clint. He's very smart. He also said that
he reckons Taylor Swift
is the biggest phenomenon since
the Beatles. Wow, that's big
from Elton John. Yeah, he said
that she's a great songwriter, she's a great artist
and she's a phenomenon. I've never seen
a phenomenon like
that since the Beatles and she works
her ass off. I would love to see
a collab between Sir Elton
John and Chapel Roan.
Oh yeah, that would be great. I think they would do
great things together. Yeah, they wear similar costumes.
If they could stand to be in the same room together,
like they both have a similar energy,
and if they butted heads,
then I could see some fireworks coming from that.
Age game, how old do you think Sir Elton John is?
Oh, that's a great question.
I reckon he's 79.
79? I already know the answer.
Does anybody else want to have a guess?
69.
89.
89, 79, 69.
Elton John's 77.
Oh, wow.
My favourite number.
It is.
It is not.
It is.
It's when I remember my granddad the most.
So wholesome.
So 77's my favourite number.
Did he die at 77?
No, I just remember him doing flips off his knees.
Okay.
If there's time later on, can you tell that story again?
Of course.
That was fantastic.
Oh, I don't say that to you.
And you definitely could.
Bree and Clint.
Bree and Clint.
I think I've come up with a new game. And you definitely could. Bree and Clint. Bree and Clint.
I think I've come up with a new game.
I pitched it to you guys last week and all of you seemed quite keen on it.
You seemed quite keen on the idea.
And I think we're ready.
I think we're ready to play.
You're nervous about it.
I just don't want anyone to get upset.
Yeah, okay.
Because it does require. No, but I think you should back yourself.
I think it's a good idea and you should back yourself.
Okay.
Because I did put it later in the show.
And you were like, no, put it in.
No, if you're going to do it, do it.
Put it in.
We put it in the six o'clock hour,
which is where we put the stuff that we're not sure about.
But I was like, no, back yourself in.
Do it.
Okay.
I'm calling my new game,
Are They Out of my league?
It's a pretty easy concept.
Are they out of my league?
The idea is we will take it in turns pitching a celebrity's name of someone we think would be in our league if they weren't famous.
That's the key component, okay?
That is the key.
So all these people that we're going to talk about,
this is if they weren't famous, we think they would be in our league.
This is if they worked at the two-degree store at the mall.
Yeah.
Like a normal person job.
Take the star power out of it.
Take the fancy clothes out of it.
Take all of that out of the
equation and just take them for who
they are. Yes. So the game
is we will take it in turns pitching
someone we think
isn't out of our league
and then the rest of the
group will vote
and you need majority
to get a point. Yeah.
People can have this say on the text machine if you'd like to.
Text us on 9696.
Absolutely.
Who would bravely like to go first?
I can go first.
Okay.
Claudia, you're willing to go first?
Yes, Claude.
Get in that.
I was going to force Brie to go first because it was her idea.
No, I feel pretty confident.
Okay, that's good.
Okay, hear me out.
If they weren't famous,
I think Ryan Gosling wouldn't be out of my league.
Holy smokes. Think about it, right?
You are a lot of what makes him attractive.
Yeah, for the fans.
Comes from the money that came with the fame.
Let me, hold on, let me have a look.
I need a picture of Ryan Gosling in front of me.
Have you sat in the guy's rig? Yes, but that comes with the job and the fame. Let me, hold on, let me have a look. I need a picture of Ryan Gosling in front of me. Have you seen
the guy's rig?
Yes,
but that comes
with the job
and the freedom.
Thank you,
Claudia,
that's an important
consideration.
Would he have time
to work out 24-7?
Probably not.
Probably not.
And if he was
working at BP,
he would not be
running that rig.
He'd have a little
pie gut.
I feel like he'd be
naturally muscly.
But if you look
at his face,
right,
his eyes are a little too close together.
This is very important.
When we play this game and you're pitching a celebrity,
you pitch them at the age they're currently at.
Present day Ryan Gosling, which I think works in your favour.
It does.
It definitely works in your favour because he's 43,
so he'd want to date someone younger.
Claudia, you've gone bold, and I like that you've set the bar high,
and I'm going to say, yeah, if he wasn't famous,
I reckon you could pull a 43-year-old Ryan Gosling.
Yeah.
I think initially it was quite a shock.
I'll be honest.
I'll be honest.
If he was Ryan Gosling same age as you, Ryan Gosling, like he was 31.
Yeah, but he was rich and famous.
I don't know.
If he was an everyman his whole life.
But the game is,
at the age they're currently at, 43,
Ryan Gosling, and
31-year-old Claudia.
I'll have to give it to you. Yeah, I think you've nailed it.
I'll take that point. Especially with that bad plastic
surgery he's had recently. Oh, it's not good, is it?
Yeah, that's worked in your favour, I think.
Okay, Claudia's given me the courage to go next.
Oh, here we go.
Oh, here we go.
And I wrote these down before.
Okay?
These have been on my list the whole time.
Okay.
You take fame out of it.
You take star power out of it.
Yes.
Here we go.
You take all the clothes, all the beauty treatments and all of that out of it.
Yeah, yeah.
Who is it?
I know you think I'm going to say Sydney Sweeney,
but I'm not.
Oh.
I'm worried about what you're about to say.
Me too.
I feel like I know who it is.
If it's who I think it is.
Hurry up.
I think
all things considered
and everything being equal,
I'd have a shot with Katy Perry.
Oh, you reckon?
Oh my God.
What?
I just want to Google Katy Perry.
I'm filming this, you know.
This is on air.
I just, I think her and I, I think her and I are about the same age.
She's like a barista and you've come in for a coffee.
It's not working in your favour that she's the same age as you.
Or roundabouts. Nah, I think it works against you. It's the same with
Claudia. Like how I said
it works in her favour that she's a bit older.
Did I need to choose someone who was older?
Did I need to choose someone who'd gone to see the bit?
Okay, wait, we need to be serious about this.
Come on, guys. I genuinely think absolutely not.
I'm going to have to say no.
No way. I was at first have to say no. No way.
I was at first very much like, ugh, no.
But, like, maybe.
She's actually two years older than me.
I'll give you a yes for that.
Okay, two no's and a yes.
I'll take one yes.
Thank you, Claudia.
You're welcome.
Ella?
Okay, I've got three, but I'll go with the first one I wrote down.
Andrew Garfield.
Yep.
I reckon I could easily get him.
You could easily get him.
Yeah, easily.
I reckon you could get him now.
I've no doubt about it.
I think you could get him, yeah, now.
What?
You could have got him while he was on promotion for Spider-Man.
I'll take it.
I think, yes, 100% you're getting.
He's a Cuny patootie, guys.
That wasn't even a hard one.
No, that was easy.
You picked too well.
Okay, Brie, it's all over to you.
You've poo-pooed my idea of Katy Perry.
Okay.
Who have you picked for yourself?
I have picked for myself.
Here we go.
I reckon without the fame,
without all that other stuff that comes with it,
Kate Winslet would be in my league.
Current Kate Winslet.
That's the game.
Yes, I think so.
Oh, hang on.
I'm just looking at the photos.
How old's Kate Winslet?
I didn't even look.
I don't have to because I know she would be in my league.
I've been watching some recent videos of Kate Winslet
in an interview that she's done.
I don't know how to say this without being offensive.
Although you shot me down with Katy Perry in flames.
Yeah, but that's fair.
I think Kate Winslet's too classy for you.
But is that rich Kate Winslet?
Yeah.
Oh, I forgot that bit.
She's not famous.
Yep.
Oh, yeah, then you're fine. Yeah, you can have Kate Winslet. Yeah, I can imagine you two on the D famous. Yep. Oh, yeah, then you're fine.
Yeah, you can have Kate Winslet.
Yeah, I can imagine you two on the D floor.
She'd be all over me like a rash.
I'd give her one little look.
Oh, my goodness.
Yeah, right.
And that's it.
This is fun.
And then you'd draw her like one of your French girls.
I'd do whatever she wanted.
Heck, yeah.
Can we do more?
That was fun
We'll play another time
Yay
I had to do some acting at the end of last week
And I thought I was quite a good actor
But turns out I freaking suck at acting
I was doing a
I was filming like an ad
For something that I can't talk about
But it's coming
And they kept asking me to do these very simple things I was filming like an ad for something that I can't talk about, but it's coming.
And they kept asking me to do these very simple things like.
Maybe you're just being hard on yourself.
I reckon you test what you had to do in front of us. What do you reckon, producers?
I think we're a good audience.
We're honest.
Sure.
Okay.
So I had to look surprised.
Okay.
I had to get an idea and then look surprised about it. But I had to do all of this acting with my face. Okay. I had to get an idea and then look surprised about it.
But I had to do all of this acting with my
face. Okay. Gotcha. So it's
in this like bar and it's like lit
in a certain way and there's like a camera
that's like zooming in on my face
and then I had to
okay so I'm going to try
people at home won't be able to see this but
But we can tell them. Yeah I had to have an idea
and then be surprised about it.
Okay.
Okay, so I've got my phone and I look up from my phone.
What do you reckon?
There's room for improvement.
Yeah.
I think I'm an over-actor.
You think?
Yeah.
But I don't know how to. You've got to do way less. That's what'm an over-actor. You think? Yeah. But I don't know how to, I don't know.
You've got to do way less.
That's what they keep saying to me.
Way less.
They're saying, they're being very positive about that.
It could be.
They said, they go, it's really good.
It's really good.
We just need you to do less.
Like, a lot less.
Like, I'm talking 90% less.
Like, I don't think you realise.
Like, so you're doing this, ready?
You're doing this.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
And you need to do something like this.
Is that enough?
Yes.
Yeah, see, that's the problem.
Ready, try and do what I'm doing, ready?
So you just slightly look to your right or your left
and you just go like this.
Yeah, slightly to the right.
Okay, ready?
Yeah.
Oh, my God.
Why are you raising your eyebrows so high?
I don't know.
Why are you moving so much?
I'm a trained thespian too.
I got my level seven speech and drama certificate at high school.
Mate, there's only room for one thespian on this show.
And that's me.
That's me.
I thought we could do a little bit of acting on the show this afternoon.
Okay.
And we're all going to give this a go.
All right.
I've had Claudia come up with some scenarios, and we'll each get our own scenario.
You, Bree, me, and Ella.
Gotcha.
And we'll see who is the most natural actor on the show.
Okay.
I reckon I was born a thespian, so.
You're pretty good.
Yeah, I do think you're weirdly good at this.
You're quite good.
So put your money where your mouth is, Thomas L.
Claudia, can we please have Bree's scenario?
Absolutely.
Oh, no.
I've written you a whole backstory.
This is going to be bad.
Bree, you are entering the room.
You are a rich old woman,
and you're here to read your recently passed husband's will
but everyone's been written off it except
you. Okay. She's the
only one left on the will.
But no one knows that yet.
She's taking off her jumper. You've got to arrive first.
Hang on.
Hello, Jeremy.
I'm here to
read Clarkson's Will.
I heard from a friend that I'm now the sole benefactorer of the will.
Jesus, Freddie, that was pretty sweet.
That's a big word thrown around in there.
I mean, you stumbled a little bit on you Jeremy Clarks in there.
I don't think I missed that.
Hey, I had 30 seconds to prepare for that.
Okay, that's inspirational for me.
That was quite good.
Ella, are you ready for your performance?
Yeah, I'm out.
Okay, Claudia, please give Ella her scenario.
Okay, Ella, you are entering the room.
You are a yellow-eyed penguin.
You're here to brag about being bird of the year
for the second time in your life,
despite not being the cutest one on the list.
Alright! Okay.
Hello!
Yes, it's me!
I won again!
I'm amazing!
I didn't even get that many votes
and I won out of all of you!
Ha ha ha ha ha!
Oh, the maniacal laugh was quite good.
Yeah, it was an evil penguin.
That came out of nowhere.
That was an evil penguin.
I really was going to go British.
You channelled that.
That was good.
This is really hard for me.
I played the lead.
I played the lead in The Crucible.
I was John Proctor, okay?
And all my acting skills have gone out the window.
I think you're being too hard on yourself.
I think you got this.
I've got faith.
Okay, Claudia.
Claudia, I'm ready for my scenario.
You are entering the room.
You are a police officer investigating the case of a missing lunch from the fridge at work.
But the lunch was yours.
Okay.
All right.
Okay, I can do this.
Yeah, all right.
All right.
Hello, hello, hello.
My name's Detective Jim, and I'm here to investigate a crime.
It's the crime of the missing lunch.
And to find the criminal, I'm going to have to look at all of your tummies.
So lift up your shirts and poke them out.
Guys, I'm going to have to report Jim to HR again.
I liked your accent.
The accent was good.
I actually grew this moustache for the character.
See, that's commitment.
I like Detective Jim.
Now, ready?
You've had an idea.
I think I've had a stroke.
It's the head jerk.
Why is it so jerky?
Anyway, looking forward to seeing my head.
Bree and Clint. Z ad. Bree and Clint.
Zed and Bree and Clint.
Brand new Sabrina Carpenter.
It's called Bad Kim.
Those lyrics are a bit naughty.
She can't miss.
The old carpenter.
She's good with a hammer.
She doesn't bloody miss.
Time to play Guess the Noise.
Very simple game where we play noises,
trying to guess them as quick as possible,
and we're playing for KFC chicken dollars.
Today playing on Bree's team is Tara.
Kia ora, Tara.
Hi, Tara.
Hi.
How was your weekend?
It was pretty good, actually.
Good to hear.
Let's win you this KFC.
You'll be taking on me and Jules.
Kia ora, Jules.
Hi, Jules.
Kia ora, Toto.
How are you?
How was your weekend?
It was okay.
It was pretty good.
Yeah, okay.
That's all we can ask for.
I like the honesty where she's like, it was okay.
Yeah, I'm not going to overhype it, guys.
You know?
It wasn't amazing. No sports on, so, you know, that's like, it was okay. I'm not going to overhype it, guys. It wasn't amazing.
No sports on, so that's always a bonus for parents.
Well, let's give you some KFC then to start the week.
Claudia's in charge.
Hi, Claudia.
Hi, Claude.
So like we do every week, there is always a theme.
I've taken the game back to its purest form, okay?
Okay.
This is Guess the Noise.
So what I've done is I've used
the things around me to make
the noises, and by the things around
me, I mean Ella made them all.
Oh. With her mouth.
I know how, oh God.
So this is Ella doing interpretations
of noises. Correct. Okay.
I tried my absolute best.
This is Ella's edition. This is
meta, I like it.
So the way it works, we're going to play Ella's Noise.
You just need to buzz in with your name and tell me what you think it is.
It's in the first team to three points.
Sure, sure, sure, sure.
So Brie and Clint, you guys are going to do the first round.
Let's see what Ella has to offer.
Okay.
Brie.
Brie.
Is that a motorbike?
No, it's not a motorbike.
Clint. Clint. Is it a car? No, it's not a motorbike. Clint.
Clint.
Is it a car?
No, it's not a car.
Brie.
Brie.
Is it a mower?
Getting closer.
Clint.
Clint.
Is it a chainsaw?
It's a chainsaw.
I could have done better on that one.
I won't lie.
That's your first one.
We'll see how it goes.
It was warming up.
Yeah, yeah.
Okay.
Jules and Tara, this is not the game you were expecting,
but are you ready to give this a go?
Yeah, just go for it.
Just go for it, yeah.
Here it is.
Bring it on.
Tara.
Tara.
A car?
It is a car.
No, it's Tara.
Not an aeroplane. No, it's is a car. No, it's Tara. Not an aeroplane.
No, it's a car.
Apparently.
It's a car with only three gears, apparently.
Yeah.
And a crash at the end.
You missed that.
Yeah, bad driver.
Okay, all right.
One apiece.
Yeah, one apiece.
Back to your brewing, Clint.
He, he, oh.
Bree. Bree. That's a woman having a baby. It is one apiece. Back to you, Bree and Clint. Hee, hee, hoo, Bree.
Bree.
That's a woman having a baby.
It is.
Can you guys listen to the whole thing?
Hee, hee, hoo, hoo, hee, hee, haa.
Wee.
Oh my God.
They couldn't do the pop sound so Claudia did that.
Fun fact, they don't pop.
What? No. What did they say? You pop out a baby? There's no fact, they don't pop. What?
No.
What did they say?
You pop out of babies?
There's no popping.
There's no pop.
Don't worry, I was disappointed too.
There's a lot of splash.
Oh, mate.
Okay, 2-1 to Team Bree.
Jules, you're going to need to get this one, okay?
Alrighty.
No pressure.
Good luck, Tara and Jules.
Fuck it all more.
Here it comes.
Come on, Tara.
Jules. Jules, get, Tara and Jules. Fuck it all. Here it comes. Come on, Tara. Jules.
Jules, get in there, Jules.
A hairdryer?
No, it's not a hairdryer.
Tara, have you got a guess?
Can I make the sound of what I think it is to give her a hint?
No, no, we can re...
Yeah, we'll get a guess from Tara and then you can interpret it.
And Tara, you can request a replay of the sound if you would like.
Oh, yeah, I'll have a replay of the sound.
I'm genuinely not a clue.
I think I've picked it too.
I know what it is.
Okay, Brie can recreate the sound, but you can both buzz in.
Yeah, okay, this is anyone's game here.
What is this?
That's not bad.
Tara.
It's like a fulcrum or something.
Yeah, it is.
That's what it is.
I can never match.
Yes, Tara.
One mind, one dream.
We've won you the KFC.
How did that make it any more clear?
Do you guys want to hear the other one?
Let's hear yours.
That's good.
Yeah, that would have been clearer.
Yeah, sorry.
This show needs to be cancelled.
I'll say.
What?
That was good.
Seriously, who let this on air?
That was good. You don't like it. Ross. Take away our broadcasting What? That was great. Seriously, who let this on air?
You don't like it. Ross!
Take away our broadcasting licence.
Come and do your job, Ross.
Jules agrees.
She's like, wrap this shit up.
Jules is like, what is going on?
You know what?
That was a weird one.
KFC chicken dollars for everybody.
Congratulations.
Oh, look.
My husband thanks you in advance.
You're very welcome.
And you're back on board with the show now, aren't you, Jules?
Oh, yeah.
We want her back over. we want her back over.
We want her back over.
Yeah, she's going to remove her complaint.
Bree and Clint.
I love this next story.
It brought me so much joy because I just love the underdog.
I love seeing karma.
I will admit that.
I think karma's a real thing,
and I feel like karma has come back
to bite these people in the bum.
Totally.
So essentially Lady Gaga has responded to a TikTok that went out,
I think like last week, and essentially the TikTok was this old screenshot
of a Facebook group which was essentially started by some
of her ex-classmates from college.
So this was in college when they were older.
Yeah.
Who essentially were mocking the fact that she was trying to pursue her music dream.
Yeah.
And the Facebook group was essentially saying, I think it was titled Stephanie Germanotta,
which is her name.
Yeah.
You will never be famous.
And I'm making fun of her because she had started, you know,
gigging around New York and started playing gigs and stuff
and they started a Facebook page.
I imagine a young Lady Gaga who was so driven and so talented
was never backwards about the fact that she wanted to be a star.
Yeah.
You know?
Yeah.
And that does rub some people up the wrong way.
So they've gone ahead and made a,
that's so bitchy to go and make a Facebook group.
That's horrible.
Isn't it?
Like how petty is that?
A Facebook group as well?
How 2008.
So 2008.
She has commented.
Yeah.
Because it's obviously resurfaced on TikTok,
this screenshot of the page
and it's it is the perfect response so she has posted a picture of the screenshot and with this
um caption some people i went to college with made this way back when this is why you can't
give up when people doubt you or put you down. Gotta
keep going. I think the lamest
bit about it is you can see how many
people are in the Facebook group. It's got
12 members. Like how
sad are you?
The only reason you're trying to bring
someone else down is
because you're sad.
Totally. That's what bullying,
as you get older, that's what you realise,
that these things always say more about the bully
than they say about you.
It's not about you.
I would hazard a guess to say that every 12,
every person in that group now wishes they weren't a part of it.
You know?
Oh, of course.
And people make mistakes.
We're all young.
We do stupid things.
I reckon if they could take it back, they would.
Not just because of how wrong they were.
You know?
Yeah.
I also think there's people that never change.
Yeah.
And they'd still be bitter.
And they'd be like, oh, I don't see why she's famous.
Oh, she's not that good.
She's one of the most iconic people, musicians of our generation.
The contrast is quite incredible.
It's gone from you will never be famous to this person
who will forever be famous.
Like you and I were talking off air.
Like she's just not famous for a little minute.
Like she will be remembered forever.
She's Freddie Mercury.
She's Elton John.
She's the Beatles.
She's that kind of artist.
Like she will continue on.
She can stop making music tomorrow and her fame would last forever.
Like they could not have got it more wrong. She's changed the artist. She will continue on. She could stop making music tomorrow and her fame would last forever. They could not have got it more wrong.
She's changed the pop music landscape.
That's how famous she is.
Which is why I always maintain you can't judge an artist too soon.
And I know we all do it when a song comes out.
And I was guilty of it with Benson Boone.
I was like, this guy sucks.
Well, he just was putting out a lot of slow songs.
I know, but as you get older, you realise,
just hold off on that opinion for a minute.
But isn't it interesting because not everyone is in that kind of category,
but she is like, you know, transcended fame.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
She's a household name.
Household name will forever be a household name.
Your grandma knows who Lady Gaga is.
Yeah, yeah.
We thought we could ask this afternoon,
you may not have gone on to be Lady Gaga,
but that doesn't matter.
If you think about the person that bullied you
when you were younger,
what are they doing now?
And what are you doing now?
Yes.
Like what is the gap that you have put
between you and your bullies
is what we'd like to know this afternoon.
What's your bully doing now?
Do you know?
Me?
Mm.
Oh, I'm trying to think of who my bully is.
Oh, you didn't have a bully then, if you have to think about it.
No, I think they went to prison, actually.
My bully's on the benefit.
I know that he is.
Is he?
Yeah, because the last time I was at home,
my sister mentioned something and I was like,
hmm, interesting. No, actually, no, I do know who my bully is mentioned something and I was like, interesting.
No, actually, no, I do know who my bully is now.
And yes, he definitely went to prison.
So suck on that, I guess.
No, don't, in prison.
You'll get in trouble.
Oh, $800 at him.
Or you can text it to 9696.
What's your bully doing now?
And what are you doing now?
Yeah.
What's the difference between you guys?
Let's compare, shall we?
Bree and Clint. We want to know what's your bully doing now. And what are you doing?? Yeah. What's the difference between you guys? Let's compare, shall we? Brie and Clint.
We want to know what's your bully doing now.
And what are you doing?
Like, what's the contrast?
Yeah.
A famous, well, not famous, really.
It went under the radar until someone posted about it.
A Facebook group has resurfaced of 12 people who told Lady Gaga she would never be famous.
Turns out they were incredibly wrong. Turns out Lady Gaga quite famous. I'd say, yeah, very, be famous. Turns out they were incredibly wrong.
Turns out Lady Gaga, quite famous.
I'd say, yeah, very, very famous.
Talk about proving them wrong.
So what happened with you and your bully?
This person wants to be anonymous.
Hi, Anonymous.
Hi, Anonymous.
Hi there.
What are you doing now and what's your bully doing?
So I'm a painter, a painter foreman,
and I have worked on so many award-winning homes.
And it was just so funny to me one day.
I went into the paint shop and lo and behold, here is my bully behind the counter serving me paint.
Oh, how the turntables have turned.
Did they recognize you anonymous?
They pretended like they didn't.
They pretended they didn't.
Yeah, that is so satisfying.
Oh, that's even better.
Thank you.
Let's go to Anonymous number two.
Hi, Anonymous.
Hi, Anonymous.
Hello.
Hello.
My bully used to beat me up at school and call me a loser.
Okay.
Sorry about that.
That's not nice.
Oh, it's made me a stronger person.
She's been to prison.
She has got no job. She's not nice. It's made me a stronger person. She's been to prison. She has got no job.
She's single and miserable.
I've been married to my amazing husband for 22 years this year.
He's a doctor.
I'm a vet.
We've got two amazing kids,
and I am very fortunate for what I've got in my life.
And 20 years after I last heard from them,
they sent me a Facebook message request asking me for free veterinary advice.
Holy smokes.
You could not have rubbed it in their face anymore, Anonymous.
Congratulations, by the way.
You won.
That's incredible.
You won the game of life.
I'm really curious to know if you gave them free vet advice or not.
I asked them to contact their own vet.
Yeah, eat it, bully, eat it.
Thank you, Anonymous.
Let's go to Anonymous number three.
Hello.
Hi, Anonymous.
Hello.
How are you going?
Tell us, mate, what are you doing now
and what's your bully doing?
Well, I work in, like, you know, mergers and acquisitions,
so we were about to purchase another company
and I was in charge of running the meeting
and doing all the paperwork, et cetera.
So I roll into this very important meeting.
And lo and behold, the person who owns the company is my bully.
You're kidding.
What?
In the meeting?
You were about to swallow up your bully's company.
Yes.
Okay.
So anyway, I waltzed on in and introduced myself.
And they had a very confused look on their face.
And they were like, oh, I think I know you from school.
And I just acted like I had no idea who they were.
Yes, you did.
And I was like, no, sorry.
I said, your name doesn't ring a bell.
I don't remember you at all.
Oh, that is the best move I've ever heard.
That is so satisfying.
It was.
And then did you lowball them on their company?
I did, yes.
Yeah, I'll bet you did.
I'll bet you did. And then you're like, oh, we company? I did, yes. Yeah, I'll bet you did. I'll bet you did.
And then you're like, oh, we don't actually need this deal.
Yeah.
Holy shit, that is the best power move I've ever heard anonymous.
That's the ultimate long game, isn't it?
To say that you weren't even memorable enough to even remember your face or name.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yes, that's it.
I mean, I did stew about it afterwards. Of course. They don't know that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yes, that's it. I mean, I did stew about it afterwards.
Of course.
They don't know that.
Yeah, yeah.
You did the right thing.
You'd hate to have said something that you afterwards,
you're like, damn it, why didn't I say this?
Or why didn't I say this?
You did less and it was more.
It's very good, Anonymous.
Less is more.
Thank you so much.
Well done and congratulations.
Some speed texts.
We asked, what are you doing now and what is your bully doing?
Someone texted and said, my bully got hit by a car.
Are they okay?
Win.
Someone else said, my bully got fake boobs and married a rich man.
She's a stay-at-home housewife now.
I work.
Oh.
Okay, well, that's not a win.
Lose.
My school bully went blind at 18.
Win.
Someone else said, I'm my bully's case manager
at wins
That is a wins
It's a wins
My school bully is a landscaper and he cut off
two of his fingers. Shame
Oh my god the person
that text through saying their bully got hit by a car wrote back?
Yeah.
They said, they are very dead and I'm thriving.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
They are very dead.
I mean, karma, they do warn.
So long as you are not the one that hit them with the car.
It's not your fault.
They do say karma can be a real P-I-T-C-A.
Bree and Clint.
Bree and Clint.
All I want from my birthday is a birthday banger.
Welcome along to Birthday Banger for a Monday.
If you haven't heard this before, this is where you can call us,
tell us your birthday, and we figure out what was the number one song
when you were 16 years of age.
Tyler's going first.
Kia ora, Tyler.
Hi, Tyler.
Kia ora, team.
How are you?
Good, mate.
How was your weekend?
Oh, brilliant, mate.
Yourself?
Yeah, very good.
Why was it so good?
Went home, had a bit of a holiday, and now back at work.
Oh, I love it.
Love that for you.
The man sounds rested and relaxed.
He does, doesn't he?
Tyler, give us your date of birth.
Let's do your birthday banger.
26th March, 93.
All right, Tyler, you were 16 in 2009,
and on your 16th birthday, this was number one.
Lady Gaga.
Lady Gaga, what an absolute banger.
What a banger.
It's a belter.
It's the song that started it all for Lady Gaga.
No, wasn't that Just Dance?
Was it?
Was it this one? I'm pretty sure it was Just Dance.
And this one was the second one.
You would know.
Tyler, do you like it?
You like it, right?
Good.
Love it.
What a banger.
Okay, cool.
It's a good one, Tyler.
Wait there.
We're going to go to Laura on our $800 a day.
Hi, Laura.
Hi, Laura.
Hi.
What did you do for your weekend, mate?
Not a lot.
I just got over the flu.
Oh, no.
Wait, is that an
accent? It is an accent.
Where from, Laura?
I'm from Sunderland in the
northeast of England.
You fancy, girl. It's a very
pretty accent.
We appreciate you gracing our
show with your accent this afternoon. All I
need is your birthday, Laura.
It's the 22nd of June, 1986.
All right, that means you were 16 in 2002.
And on your 16th birthday, this was number one.
It's getting hot in here.
So hot.
So take off all your clothes.
It's getting a bit hotter here, isn't it?
Was this popping off at the pubs of Sunderland in the year 2002, Laura?
It probably was, yeah.
Yeah.
It was popping off around the globe.
Banger from Nelly.
I think I saw Lady Gaga.
Are you like Lady Gaga?
Sweet as.
Okay, good to know.
We've got Sonia now.
Hi, Sonia.
Hi, Sonia.
Hello, we're good.
What did you do for your weekend, Sonia?
Pretty quiet, actually. Yeah. Just hung out. Good for a change you do for your weekend, Sonia? Pretty quiet, actually.
Yeah.
Just hung out.
Just looking for a change.
Yeah, I agree, Sonia.
I feel you on that.
Hey, what's your date of birth?
22nd of February, 1975.
All right, that means you were 16 in 1991.
And this was at the top.
Oh, my love. And this was at the top.
Now, Sonia, correct me if I'm wrong.
Was this a part of the movie Ghost?
And that's why.
Yes or no?
It was.
Yeah, definitely.
This is the pottery scene with Patrick Swayze, isn't it? Yeah.
That's exactly what I had thought.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Very iconic movie, very iconic song from the Righteous Brothers.
I like them all.
I particularly like the Nelly song.
Me too.
Nelly hot in here.
Laura from Sunderland, you're the winner of Birthday Banger today.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
You're welcome, Laura.
Hope you feel better, mate.
Oh, thanks.
This is Laura when she had the flu.
She's like, oh, someone get me some Nurofen.
From 2002, here's Nelly for Birthday Banger on ZM.
Bree and Clint.
ZM, Bree and Clint, the winner of Birthday Banger today from 2002.
For Laura, that's Nelly and Hod and Her.
Her.
Talk about how Nelly welcomed his first child with a
shanty a couple of weeks ago.
How's he only having his first child now?
How old?
That he knows of. How old is Nelly?
Well, that song came out in
2002, so I'm
going to say Nelly would be 44.
How old is Nelly?
No, that's not even off the first Nelly album.
I'm going to say Nelly's 45.
Nelly's 49.
How old is Shanti?
About the same.
No, she's not.
She's 43. She's 43.
What's he going to say?
Nice.
Congratulations to Nelly and Dushanti.
Congratulations, guys.
Bree and Clint.
I've heard from a little birdie.
Somebody who works in the ZM office told me that one of our ZM gal pals,
Steph, has been on a completely blind date over the weekend.
Fun.
Yeah.
And so Steph joins us in studio because we needed to ask you about it.
Okay, fair enough.
So this was a completely blind date that one of the other people in the office has set you up with.
So she knows him, but you knew nothing about him.
You guys didn't talk beforehand and you got told a time and a place to meet and you went
and met him.
Yeah.
What a fun way to do it.
Yeah.
It's like a personal recommendation where the person's gone, I think you and this person
would get on well.
Yeah, exactly.
What a nice, that's very old school.
It's a nice way to date.
Yeah.
Which is what we said.
It was like, it was old school.
Yeah.
So we need to know because it's super rare these days, especially for our generation.
How was it?
And will there be a second date?
Yeah, it was good.
Yeah.
I enjoyed myself.
Where did you go for the date?
We went down to like Koimara Mara and got a coffee and went for a walk.
Nice.
Okay.
Daytime date.
Yeah.
Daytime date.
Okay.
11 a.m. on a Saturday.
So you would meet up with this guy again?
Yeah, I would meet up with him again.
If you had to give it a score out of 10, what would you give the date?
Oh, okay.
And be honest, what would you give the date?
Probably say like an 8.5.
An 8.5, that's high.
For a blind date.
Yeah.
For a blind date.
For a first date.
For a first date.
Yeah.
I mean, high score.
How were the bents?
Yeah, it was good.
Conversation was sort of free flowing?
Yep, it was good. Yeah? Yep, it flow good. Conversation was sort of free-flowing? Yep, it was good.
Yeah?
Yep, it flowed.
Yeah, I think it helped we had the recommendation.
I mean, it's great to get your rating of the day.
Wouldn't it be awesome if we could find out what he thought?
I mean...
Wouldn't that be great?
I mean, that would just be nice and clear for me, so yeah.
The thing is, is that Clint and I actually know the guy
that you went on a date with, right?
True.
And we have his number.
Stop.
So we thought, I mean, why not just call him up
and Clint and I can do the dirty work and ask him.
Okay.
I mean, you guys do what you need to do.
She wants to know.
You want to know.
For this to work, you have to pretend you're not here.
Exactly.
Stop.
You're doing it right now.
Yeah.
Okay.
If we've got your permission.
All right.
Are you sure?
Yeah, go for it.
Yeah, go for it.
Claudia, please could you connect the call to our friend Goose?
Hello, Johnny speaking.
Johnny Gooseman, how are you, mate?
It's Brian Clint.
G'day, team.
G'day, team. G'day, team.
How are you guys?
I'm going well.
Long time no speak.
I'll say.
We haven't heard from you for ages.
We just wanted to call and catch up.
Yeah, see what was going on.
Yeah, yeah.
Maybe what you got up to on the weekend.
Sure, an update on one of many adventures.
You want to know about the recent one, dear?
Well, look.
Any in particular.
We'll be transparent here, Johnny.
A little birdie from the office has given us wind
that you actually went on a completely blind date
with one of the girls that works here at ZM.
This information is correct, yes.
Interesting.
We just thought we would connect with you friend to friend,
privately, obviously.
We also just wanted to get your take on the fact
that blind dates don't really happen in our generation anymore,
and we wanted to get, yeah, your vibe on how it went.
Yeah, well, I mean, the date was amazing.
I think I can send full kudos to having good mates,
and maybe the source that you guys heard the yarn from, yes,
she was an amazing friend, and kind of, I suppose,
knowing both of us was good about pointing us in the right direction
and, yeah, yeah, made for an easygoing date.
And although there were a few nerves at the start,
it was nothing to worry about.
Oh, okay.
That's good to hear.
That sounded like good vibes.
Let me ask, do you reckon you found the maverick to your goose?
Or it's too soon?
No, hey, look, We'll see how things go
We've definitely got
Good vibes here to start off with
We've got a lot in common
I think
Hey look, we might take flight
We might stay grounded
Who knows
Yeah, I mean
In your opinion
Would you like there
To be a second date?
Yes, yes
I'd happily go on a second date
For sure
If Anonymous would be keen.
Sure.
You answered that very quickly.
Our last question for you, Johnny,
and then your busy man will let you go.
What would you give the date out of 10?
What would you rate the blind date out of 10?
Well, you can't quite go to the 10,
but it's high.
I'm going to go a nine.
A nine!
Yeah.
Jeez!
No, honestly, the experience was so cool.
Would you be okay if Anonymous didn't quite score it a nine,
but she did score it an 8.5 out of 10?
Oh, that's pretty close.
I think that's pretty spot on.
It seems like, you know, stars are aligning there.
It's pretty much the same.
We'll leave you guys to organise a second date.
I mean, unless you want to just organise it.
Yeah, Steph.
Hey, Steph, do you want to ask Johnny if he wants to?
Did you want to maybe just organise a second date now, Steph?
She's not there.
She's not there.
Go on, Steph.
Don't be shy.
I mean, maybe I'll flick you a message.
Hey, we'll do something up.
Oh, Johnny.
I'm real serious.
Mate, I think you've handled that beautifully.
And I could see Steph smiling from ear to ear as you were talking.
That's okay.
It's good reviews.
I mean, if she was down here witnessing the way I'm talking now and smiling,
then that's good as gold then.
All right, mate.
We'll leave you guys to organise the details and just a little tip from me.
Don't tell a soul, especially people who work in radio,
because they'll exploit you
guys on the air, okay?
If Steph shows up to the next date with a GoPro on her forehead, don't be weird about
it.
That's just us.
That's us, yeah.
Okay, that's just us getting some footage for some more content.
We've roped her into it.
Oh, good.
Yeah, that's right.
Oh, good.
I'll be open to it.
All right.
Three days, Steve.
All right, see you, Goosey.
See you, guys.
All right, later, skaters.
Bree and Clint.
And that's us.
I need to get in the car and drive home as fast as I can
because I've got to get through Celebrity Treasure Island
and then I need to tuck into the final episode of that show on Netflix,
The Perfect Couple.
My God, it's been a long time since a show consumed me that much.
I have seen the full series.
Who is your pick?
I don't want to say because I'm going to find out today.
No, but I want you to say.
But I don't want to spoil it for anyone else that hasn't started it yet.
But you haven't seen the end.
It's a murder mystery.
It's Nicole Kidman.
It's a rich family in America and like a rich area and a body washed up on the beach.
And basically everyone's a suspect.
Yeah.
You haven't seen the end, so you're not going to ruin it for everyone.
No, I think the maid has something to do with it.
Okay.
And I think the main girl, whose friend it was, may have something to do with it.
Okay.
And I'm trying not to look at you because I know you know the outcome.
I know the outcome.
Yeah.
I'm not going to tell you anything. I'm not going to give anything away. It's you know the outcome. I know the outcome. Yeah. I'm not going to tell you anything.
I'm not going to give anything away.
It's like five episodes or six episodes.
It's on Netflix.
It's called The Perfect Couple if you're looking for a show to go with Celebrity Treasure Island tonight.
Yes, Celebrity Treasure Island week two kicks off at 7.30, TVNZ 2 and TVNZ Plus.
