No. Absolute disaster happened when a guy went up to an ice sculpture that was in the middle of Sydney's Pitt Street Mall as a part of a marketing thing, I believe, for V Energy drinks. Oh, okay. And they'd set up like a little cool, you know, display. Thingy, yeah. And one of the things was an ice sculpture.

Yeah. And this guy's gone up to it and he's licked it and his tongue's got stuck. Oh, no, that's so embarrassing. So the episode of The Simpsons when Homer gets his tongue stuck to the frozen lamppost. Yeah. You remember? Yeah, do you remember when Jim Carrey in Dumb and Dumber? Oh no, it was his friend.

It was Harry. It was the other character in the first movie. Yeah. Licks the, they're on the chairlift for skiing. Same thing. And he licks it and it gets stuck. Of course it got stuck. You know, I always had fantasies about licking the butter sculpture at Valentine's when I was a kid.

Did you? Yeah. Never did it. Taste of that sweet, sweet butter, do you? Yeah, yeah. Or just like, because we always had like a stag, some kind of deer sculpture at our Valentine's, just like lopping a toe off and spreading it on your toast.

See what it's like? Yeah. They reckon it was all down to the fact that it was so humid in Sydney that day. That's why he had to lick it? No, that's why they reckon his tongue got stuck. Oh, I thought this was his excuse. He was like, I needed to cool down. Well, it's interesting because I scoured the internet and I ended up finding they did one interview with the guy.

With Tongue Boy. With Tongue Boy, who got his tongue stuck to an ice sculpture. And here's what he said. Hello there, it's me, Veronica McIntyre. I'm down at Sydney's Pitt Street Mall with the man who has his tongue stuck to an ice sculpture. Hello, sir. How are you doing today? Today is good. My tongue is stuck.

Now tell me, how did you get into this predicament? The thing is that my tongue is stuck to the ice. It hurts. I see. And how long exactly have you been stuck here? It's been like, you've got to give me some help. Now, is there anything you want to say to the people at home? You heard it here first, folks. This is Veronica McIntyre signing off for Sydney's 123 News.

Wow. What a captivating interview. What a scoop. What a scoop. I know. What a scoop. The rumour is, is the guy is still there. I'll bet he is.

Yeah. He's going to need the temperature to get a lot hotter before he's free. No one rescued him. Also, how hot's Veronica McIntyre? Yeah, she's pretty hot, eh? She was in a pantsuit. I mean, I don't know. I wasn't there. I love a reporter who starts their story with, hello, it's me.

We're crossing live now to Pettigower. Hello, it's me, Pettigower. You're insinuating that that wasn't real audio from Sydney Pitt Street Mall and that Claudia and I, like, put that together. I'm not insinuating anything. It's more...

More quality journalism from The Brian Clint Show. Brian Clint. Are you interested in the world's oldest bird? Um, yeah. For the purposes of this show, 100%. I am. I didn't think I was, and then I saw the headline, and I was like, shit, you've got me.

It said, world's oldest bird. I would have thought it would have been Betty White. No, she's dead. World's oldest bird. Is she? World's oldest bird still laying eggs. Oh, yeah? Plot twist. She's still laying eggs. Oh, yeah. Plot twist.

She's old and fertile. Good on her. Real bird, by the way. I don't refer to women as birds. I do. Anymore. Hey, you're a good looking couple of birds out there, producers. Penguin, number one.

And Claudia, I'd say Ella's a penguin. And Claudia. Go on then Claudia is an albatross. I'm glad you said that because today's world's oldest bird is an albatross. No way! I'm the world's oldest bird! No, you're not even close. You're not even close. The world's oldest known bird, because obviously we can't know all birds,

but the birds that we are tracking is a 74-year-old albatross named Wisdom. Wisdom? 74. That bird. She was born in 1950. Wow. That bird would be worse for wear. I picture that bird to have no feathers left.

Is she looking a bit ratty? I, you, you, you will be shocked. Claudia, I'm going to send you a link real quick. You bring it up on the screen. Wisdom is in phenomenal condition. You know when a cat gets to that age and there'll be people nodding along, listening to this,

when a cat gets to a certain age and then everything just goes wrong and they're kind of like, that's what I picture the bird to look like. And you see seagulls that are like 16 or 17 and they look like absolute dumpster fires. Wisdom, stunning. She looks stunning.

She has outlived her species average lifespan by 30 years. Why? Why is she so old? They don't know because they don't want to catch her. They just want to catch her. You know, they just want to leave her alone. Every year, the scientists

who track her are terrified that she's not going to come back because she's dead. Because she's a 74 year old bird. But the scientists have confirmed that she's back. This year at least, she's made it back. Is she still laying eggs? So, the day after she arrived

they found wisdom sitting on a brand new egg. They said it's the 60th egg that she has produced. 60 eggs. You'd want to be you'd want to be infertile at that point. You're like I've had enough. I've pushed enough

eggs out of my tiny little v bahine. Leave me alone. Like, reproductive system just shut down for business. Yeah, but no, not wisdom. She's just cranking them out. The next oldest albatross that

they know of is 52. So she's 22 years older than the next oldest albatross. Yeah, that's crazy. She's older than any guy, so she's definitely a cougar bird. You know, there's no man bird. Well, that's the thing. There'd be no one close to her age.

No, and there isn't. Albatrosses typically live for about 12 to 40 years. That's an old bird. That's an old bird. I have heard a rumour about her actually that when she has an egg and when it hatches, there's nothing inside but all you can hear is When the egg opens. Because it's so old.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Birds are in black and white. Yeah. It's actually tweety. Yeah, yeah. Anyway. It's an aerodactyl. Yeah,ety. Yeah, yeah. Anyway. It's an Aerodactyl. Yeah, exactly.

Yeah, yeah. Anyway, long live wisdom, the world's oldest bird. Good on her. Good on her. Good on her. Do you reckon she's going to have tennis balls on her walker? Yeah, I think so. Do birds have a walker?

Because they don't walk, they fly. They need a flyer. A flyer. Wouldn't she? Yeah, yeah, yeah. A little. So they need a flyer. A flyer. A little contraption to help you fly. Shout out to Wisdom. Big listener of the podcast. Time to head to Dean McCarthy for the

latest. From iHeartRadio, this is the latest live from LA with Dean McCarthy. Dean, apparently Carpool Karaoke is back. I thought it finished when James Corden's show went off air. Yes, it did finish, but it's actually back for a Christmas special,

this time hosted by Zane Lowe, who's like the Apple Music in-house host. A couple of up-and-comers, let's just say that. You may have heard of Lady Gaga, something you might have heard of her, Chappell Roan, just a couple of few names you might have actually heard of. They're going to be huge, I feel like. And, of course, Dua Lipa as well. All three of them, not together, unfortunately, but all three of them are going to be interviewed by Zayn

while he drives around Los Angeles in probably a Range Rover again. Yeah. It's a carpool karaoke Christmas edition. Zayn Lowe, if you're not really familiar with him, he's basically like the in-house Apple guy. He does the big interviews for Apple Music. Very, very well liked by the stars, actually. Very, very popular here in LA.

And so, yeah, it's going to be cool. They've mashed all three of the interviews together and it's a little rebirth. I actually think they're probably testing how well it's received. Zayn's probably going to try and get the gig and they're going to just sort of see how well it is received. It's hard to replace... James Corden, yeah.

And doesn't it go to show there are no new ideas? You're just recycling all the good ones. Producers have blown us a little bit. Here's Chapel Roan doing the new version of Carpool Karaoke. I'm going to keep on dancing down in West Hollywood. I'm going to keep on dancing at the Pink Pony Club. Pink Pony Club. You can hear Zane Lowe in the background harmonising. Is he as good a singer as James Corden? That's a good question.

Look, I'm a horrible singer, so I'm not going to comment, but that's something that I always loved about carpool karaoke was James Corden can really sing. Well, Zane Lowe is a musician. He's quite an accomplished musician. He won a Grammy with Sam Smith. For singing? No, for writing.

That is the latest. Live out of Los Angeles with Dean McCarthy. He's our Hollywood correspondent. Bree and Clint. This is a bad blowout, but it's not here in New Zealand, okay? So we can laugh at it. A Buckingham Palace maid has been arrested

after the work Christmas party turned violent. Buckingham Palace maid? A maid who works at Buckingham Palace has been arrested after the work Christmas party. Yeah, that's not an ideal way to finish the year. No, that's some pretty bad anxiety. Who was she aggressive towards, though? Like, if it was towards, you know, the hospital fold on one of the beds that she couldn't quite get right and she kind of, you know, lost it, then that's fine.

She's 24. She got detained at a bar in central London because she was allegedly smashing glasses and attempting to assault a member of staff at the bar. Which member? Yeah, I don't know. Was it like Maeve V Butler? No, no, no, a member of staff at the bar.

Oh, I was thinking there was like a showdown between like Buckingham Palace employees. Her and one of the horse people. I'd love to see like maid versus butler or yeah, like horse stable attendee versus... Footman versus swordsman. Yeah. No swords allowed.

Queen versus Charles. Yeah, yeah. Buckingham Palace said that where she got arrested, that event was not an official Buckingham Palace party, but the party did start at Buckingham Palace before kicking on to town. So they had their Christmas party at the palace. Did they have their Christmas party at Buckingham Palace?

It was a big place. It'll be in the staff quarters. Be in their ballroom. It'll be in the basement or something. No, no. They won't let the maid have a Christmas party in the ballroom. If I know Charles, Charles puts on a roaring Christmas party. True.

True. It'll be one way to win the people over. He'd have chilli bins lined up all around the ballroom. Yeah. And he'd be like, BYO, I will provide beer and wine. Camilla's turning snags on the Weber outside. Camilla's on the sausage sizzle. Yeah.

And we're going to do a slip and slide in the backyard of Buckingham Palace. Sick. It'll be great. Sick. What a good time. That's my king. That is my... You'd be like, go off, king.

That is the king for the people. Go off, king. Go off. I wonder... So this woman has the people. Go off, king. Go off. I wonder, so this woman has been arrested. It's not funny, it's serious. I wonder if she's going to be called into a meeting with her boss on Monday, aka the king of England.

What does he do? What does he say? Probably written warning for that one. Smashing glasses and assaulting a bar member, a bar staff, on the Buckingham Palace work Christmas party. It's definitely a strike one. Yeah, I agree. Definitely a strike one.

You can't demote her, though. She's already a maid. What are you going to do? Yeah, like, I mean, Harry got into a bit of trouble he did time to time yeah and eventually he left himself because i know what you do put her in the dungeon you put her in the dungeon for a week shackles chain her up in the dungeon feed her gruel yeah that's what you do that's why they kept the dungeon in the first place was for moments like this tower of london sticker in the tower. Can you imagine? Three weeks later, someone's like,

oh my God, how crazy was it when they put such and such in the dungeon? And then someone goes, that was crazy. When did she get out? Actually, I haven't seen it. Shit, Sylvia. Let's get down to the dungeon. Quick, to the dungeon.

We want to know about work party Work Christmas party chaos stories Yeah what happened Did it get out of control Might have been very fresh Might have been in the past Spell the beans keep the name of the workplace out of it But tell us about the chaos that went down

If you want to At your work Christmas party Maybe you got fired You can trust us you can can tell us. Yeah. It's just us. Did anybody end up in the dungeon? Maybe someone got a broken arm. Oh, yeah, okay. Happens. Happens.

Bree and Clint. There's a maid who works at Buckingham Palace in the news today for getting arrested at the work Christmas party. She got a bit smashy of glasses and a bit of salty with the bar staff and got arrested for it. Yeah. Just behave. It got a bit smashy of glasses and a bit of salty with the bar staff and got arrested for it. Yeah.

Just behave. It's a rough hangover. I put a downer on the day. She probably didn't eat. She probably didn't eat. Yeah. That always gets you. Always gets you.

So we've asked, what's the work party, Christmas party chaos that you can report to us? Some great texts. No one willing to talk, but great texts like this. Someone said, I broke my foot doing the running man on a table

with my CEO back in the heady days of working in ad agencies in the 2000s. I got a standing ovation when I turned up to work in a cast in crutches the next day. Yeah, you did. I'd only been there a month. That's amazing. So you managed to get so pizzled that you did the running man and broke your foot on a table on a weeknight and went to A&E

and then still showed up to work the next day. That's commitment. That is commitment. You know, that shows integrity, shows commitment, shows determination. What do they say? As an employee. Piss up. Show up.

Yep. People respect you so much when you do. They do. Someone texted her and said, office administrator with a few drinks under her belt announced to everyone that she was in love with one of the managers at the Christmas party. Both of them were married at the time to other people.

Oh, I could never go back to that workplace again. No. Never going back. And she's the office administrator. Oh, that's terrible. She would have to file her own resignation. Oh, yuck. That's horrible.

At a Christmas party just last week, we were doing some car drifting in a paddock. Sick Christmas party. It was all good until one guy decided that a demo derby would be better than drifting. Couple of whacks and marched down the driveway. Who decides to have their own demolition derby at a Christmas party? That's wild. Who has paddock drifting at their Christmas party?

Yeah. Awesome. Someone said three years ago we had a work do where the fellas got absolutely trollied off to the boss's whiskey collection. Two ended up in fisticuffs. A married man got a little too handsy. Oh no.

See that's there's someone that needs to monitor the Christmas party where they're like, okay, that's enough. You've got to have a work handbrake. Yeah, you've got to have the work handbrake. They talk about a, what do they call it?

Not a personality hire, but it's like a value add. When you hire someone who doesn't have any skills per se, but they're like a great vibe, you also need to hire the opposite, like a total fun sponge, who people like, who you can have their... They're not a complete fun sponge, you just need someone who people respect. We're shirking

our responsibility here, aren't we? We really just need to behave ourselves. Someone said, I managed to get wine in my friend's eye at the Christmas party. Don't ask me how, she was wearing glasses. Would wine to the eye hurt? Yeah, probably. Would it?

Yeah. It's got sugars and acids in it. Any freshies? At our leavers dinner at high school, the principal got super drunk and started dancing on the tables. Love that. What about this one? I'm nervous about our Christmas party

because I'm currently sleeping with the supervisor and if I get too drunk I'm scared everyone will find out. Might be the best. Just rip the band-aid off. Yeah. Unless, unless you guys are in a relationship. No, don't rip the band-aid off. No, no, no. Why not?

Sometimes it's better afterwards. No, you've got to separate the two. You know, just get rid of it. Also this text, I think that Demo Derby guy was my partner. I'd love to know where it was and if it was him. Ha ha. Well, look, if your partner came home early from the- Babe, you told me it was a hit and run.

You told me someone ran straight through a red light, hit you and kept going. Yeah, they did. It happened. If your partner came home early from the work Christmas party because of a demolition derby, I think that's a pretty unique experience. Super unique.

Odds are it was him. Yeah. I feel like New Zealand, small country, I feel like it probably was your partner. 9696, text us if you were having a demolition derby for your work Christmas party. Yeah, we could be wrong. Maybe it's a super common thing. And can we come?

Yeah. It's the last Let's Get Classical of 2024, our game where we guess pop songs in classical style. And God, it's been a heated year, hasn't it? This has been our most heated game. 100%. All year it has. No doubt in my mind.

There's been a few times where I didn't think the show would be back the next day. No, yeah. There's been a few awkward goodbyes at the end of the day. It has brought some people's anger management skills to the fore, hasn't it? Totally. Not naming any names. I didn't name any names. I didn't name any names.

I don't know how you do it. How are you so good at annoying me? What is it? How do you do it? It's my special skill.

I think I'm going to have to end up paying for it because I haven't finished my Rubik's Cube. We need to address that at some point. Gods, you know how I love to give you, I think, four different things, five different things, and then you can only pick two. Oh, yes. That's the game.

We like to call it you can only pick two. And here's your choices this afternoon. Are we ready to play? Yeah. Choice number one, you can travel anywhere for free. As much as I want? Forever. Forever, yeah.

Number two, unlimited free concert tickets forever. Unlimited. Unlimited. Number three, you have perfect health for your whole life. Cool. Yeah. Until you pass away. Of old age, probably.

Yeah. Number four, you live in your dream city in your dream house. And number five, you can be best friends with your favourite celebrity. Which two are you picking? You can only have two. So we have travel anywhere for free, unlimited free concert tickets, and that includes music festivals.

Obviously, yeah. Have perfect health, live in your dream city and your dream house, be best friends with your favourite celebrity. What two are we picking? Pretty easy for me. I don't know why it's so easy, but I'm going unlimited travel and perfect health. Lock it in?

Yep. Done deal. Ella? Like a dream. You get to see the world and feel good in your body the whole time. Yep. Go and have your 75th birthday in the canals of Venice. Why not?

I found a loophole. Yeah? I would have health, perfect health. Okay. Just so I don't have to worry about that. Yeah. But then I would be best friends with a celebrity and if I'm genuinely best friends they would take me

to free concerts. They'd take me travelling. You're dead right. Maybe buy me a house. And who would the celebrity be? Maybe buy you a house. Taylor Swift. Taylor Swift, yeah. Oh, she so would too. That generous Bee Until she got over you

Rude She's your best friend You know she's still Friends with Most of her Childhood friends Yeah I haven't seen

Lorde on her Instagram recently Okay Just so Ella you could be Kicked to the curb Claudia what would You be picking

I'm debating between Like picking, picking travelling anywhere for free and getting free concert tickets. I'm debating between those two as well. So I could, like, travel the world just going to shows. But I feel like the perfect health one. You get sick of just going to Electric Avenue and Laneway every year. But if you travel, you go internationally. Every concert.

So you could go to anything. Yeah, but you'd have to pay to get there. Coachella. What would I have to pay for? The flights to get to of debris. So you can go to anything. Yeah, but you'd have to pay to get there. Coachella. What would I have to pay for? The flights to get to the concert. No, I have unlimited travel. Yeah, yeah, okay, yeah. Oh, you're choosing the top two.

Well, I'm thinking if I get unlimited travel, I can go anywhere in the world. If I have unlimited concert tickets, I can go to any show that I want. I could go to Oasis, for example. Yeah, but you'd still have to pay to get there. No, because it's free travel. No, if she chose free concert tickets,

she would have to pay to get to the concert. But you choose two. She's picking those two. Oh, you're going to choose those two over Perfect Health? No, I'm choosing Perfect Health and travel anywhere. I'm going to be twinsies with Clint. Thanks, me and you, babes. Oh, my God.

Brie? Ella's loophole's pretty good. I just want to be different. Probably perfect health. Yeah, besties with a celebrity. Who's your fave? Someone really rich. Jeff Bezos. Yeah, I love that guy.

And he loves the mask. That guy, he just, I reckon he would understand me. Yeah, yeah. The founder of Zara. And he's got such a nice looking face. Bree and Clint. Guys, it's time to play Name in a Haystack. It's a weird one, eh?

It's got the potential to be the most exciting thing to ever happen on radio, but so far, incredibly anticlimactic. It's a weird one, eh? It's got the potential to be the most exciting thing to ever happen on radio, but so far, incredibly anticlimactic. It's way more likely to be the most anticlimactic break we do today. But we're still going to do it. But we still do it in the hope. Yeah. In the hope that one day we will get one of the greatest moments on radio ever. Every failure adds to the suspense.

Exactly. The idea is random place, random name. If a person with the random name answers the phone, we have found a name in the haystack. And they win. Up the grabs today, $250 cash money. Claudia, you chose the place last week, I believe, so you can choose the name today.

Is that what we're doing? Yeah, either, either. You choose. Allocate me something. Give us a name. Okay, I'm going to go with... Well, the name is, I reckon, the hardest. Hayley.

Hayley. Hayley. And we should call ZM Breakfast. We should call 8.30 this morning. Okay, Hayley. Where are we calling to find our Hayley today? I'm aware of the time, so I want something to be open. I think like a gym.

A gym? Oh, a gym's a great idea. I feel like Hayley would work at a gym. Yeah. City Fitness. City Fitness. City Fitness. And we're looking for Hayley.

Connect the call, Claudia. I feel good about today. Kia ora, and welcome to City Fitness. Hello, is that Hayley? The call may be recorded for Hayley. Connect the call, Claudia. I feel good about today. Kia ora and welcome to City Fitness. Hello, who's that, Hayley? The call may be recorded for training purposes. Well, we're recording it too. Press 1 for club hours and services. No.

Press 2 for membership accounts and payments. Put us through to Hayley. Press 3 for membership options and offerings. No. Or please hold to speak to our team. We will hold. We will hold. It's going to be Hayley.

I can feel it. Imagine going out with a bang. It's the last one of the year. Hi there, City of St. Luke's. Avalon speaking. How can I help? Hi, Avalon. How are you?

Hi, Avalon. It's Brian Clint from ZM here. Unfortunately, you haven't won name in a haystack. Can I ask a quick question? Is Hayley around at all? Hayley. I do not know who Hayley is. There's no Hayley that works there?

I've never met a Hayley here. Okay. No, no great loss there. All right. Thank you so much for your help, Avalon. Appreciate it. Thanks, Avalon. We appreciate it.

Okay. Okay. See you so much for your help, Avalon. Appreciate it. We appreciate it. Okay. Okay. See you later. Bye. Bye. He was not in on that at all. Not in on that. Also, not Hayley.

Why wouldn't you pick the name Avalon? Yeah, Ella. We could have won. That was corny enough, me. Such a common and easy name. That was my backup option. I was going to say Avalon. I was feeling Avalon.

You know what I have noticed, though, is every week we try to do, like, what we think is a common name. It's always someone with, like, a left field name that we need to, like, start thinking a bit more out of the box. When we come back in 2025, the first name we're going to use is Dodikahedron. Perfect. I know that guy. I know.

He's got his nightmare on the past, though. Yeah, he is. Multi-sided animal, that guy. Don't leave him around your missus. He'll hit on her. Bree and Clint. There's a country singer from Sydney, Australia, who's raising a few eyebrows with a particular theory

that she's put on social media that she believes if in your couple situation, in your relationship, if you're doing this particular thing, this behaviour, then you're probably destined for disaster. You're miserable. The relationship isn't great. Relationship, red flag. Yeah.

Okay. She said looking into other people's relationships, if she sees this behaviour, she's like they're not happy. Okay. Okay. She said looking into other people's relationships if she sees this behaviour, she's like they're not happy. Okay. Okay. And she's a country music singer, she'd know. She's a country music singer who loves to sing about arseholes. Okay. It's a quote from her. Okay, sure.

So she's done a lot of dating. A lot of research. And she said she knows this because it was her at one point in her life. Okay, skin in the game. That did this. I want to know what it is. This is what she says.

I have a theory that if you're posting your partner excessively on social media with paragraphs and you're my soulmate and you're amazing excessively, I want to state excessively, that you're actually miserable in that relationship. Interesting. You know the people we're talking about. Everybody knows the people we're talking about. The ones that are like my soulmate, my love,

my one true person that I'm meant to be with, my connection, my heart, the soil, the sand, the person I can't live without. My ride or die. You know, and puts it. And it's not just one post like a year for their birthday. Yeah, it's not your 10-year anniversary post. You know, it's like every three months.

Yeah. It's a weekly appreciation post. What do you reckon about her theory? I think it has legs. I think it could mean something else. So it could mean you're miserable. It could also mean that you're insecure in the relationship. And so you're like, remember that I love you.

Or it could just be that you're completely obsessed with the person that you're dating. But if you're obsessed with them, if you were just obsessed with them, why do you feel the need to post it wouldn't you just live in your happiness bubble yeah but everyone but like has different ways of expressing love and maybe i don't know i'm just being diplomatic you and i don't do it so i'm not a big pda like spray the world with know. I like to be a bit private about certain things.

I know that sounds ridiculous coming from a radio host, but certain things I feel like are just for me and them, you know. But I feel like I do know people that are just downright obsessed with their partners and love to post a lot about them. Yeah. But I do feel like you're right. I feel like this theory has leaked. Is there a third category?

Someone who is seriously punching and is just like wanting to brag regularly about how hot their partner is. 100%. They're like, hey, don't forget, I got this check. Don't forget, I'm dating this person. Don't forget, I literally won. That's probably the main category, actually.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Bree and Clint. Bree and Clint. All I want for my birthday is a birthday thing. All right, number one songs when you turn 16. We'll do three and then play one. Tash is going first. Hi, Tash.

Hi, Tash. Hi. Hi, guys. How's your. Hi, Tash. Hi, Tash. Hi. Hi, guys. How's your day been, Tash? Not too bad. Beautiful day in Queenstown. Thank you. Oh, lovely to hear.

Lovely to hear. Hey, mate, what's your... Sorry, have you had the $38 viral burrito in Queenstown yet? I have not. Did you see that story last week? Yes, I did see it. So that's super good. It's been good. It better be

the best damn burrito I've ever put near my mouth. Weirdly, I do want to try it. I want to try it too. Yeah, yeah, yeah. For sure. $38. Sorry, Tash, to distract. It's about your birthday, beggar. Let's do that. What's your date of birth?

8th of May, 1990. Right, mate. That means you were 16 in 2006. And on that day, this was at the top. Shakira, Shakira. That's what I want my hips to be saying after that burrito. I want that burrito to be two kilos worth of just rice and meat. Anyway, Tash, what do you reckon? You a fan?

I reckon I'm good. Bang it, I like it. I agree. Yeah, I like it too. Solid. I like it. Yeah, okay, let's go to Debbie for a birthday banger. G'day, Debbie.

Hi, Debbie. G'day, how you doing? Good, thank you, mate. Whereabouts are you calling from? Beautiful Christchurch. Beautiful Christchurch. Beautiful Christchurch. Oh, heaven's Christchurch. Yeah, it's the summer today.

Can't beat it. Hey, Debbie, what is your date of birth? 4th of April, 1975. All right, that means you were 16 in 1991, and our calculations have said this is your birthday banger. Oh, get it, Debbie! That's a banger. is your birthday banger. Oh, get it, Debbie. That's a banger. That is a banger.

That's one of my all-time favourites from C&C Music Factory. I'm going to make you sweat. Love it. Wow. Okay, wait there, Debbie. We're going to do one more. Sarah's here. Hi, Sarah.

G'day. Hi. Whereabouts are you calling from Sarah. G'day. Hi. Whereabouts are you calling from, mate? Sunny Dunedin. Sunny Dunedin. Is it a good day in Dunedin today? It's quite windy, but she's sunny. Oh, well, hey, you take what you can get, Sarah.

What is your date of birth? The 8th of January, 1988. Oh, it's slowly coming up. You were 16, though, Sarah, in 2004. And on that day, this was at the top. Oh, it's a tune from the Black Eyed Peas. I reckon this is a bit underrated as a Black Eyed Peas song, too. It does get played.

Yeah. I like it a lot. It's really good. Yeah. I like it, Sarah. Girl, we knew it was just fun. You know. It's such a good song.

Sarah, you've really thrown a cat amongst the pigeons. That's tough now. Hold there for us. We have some serious deliberation to do between Shakira, C&C Music Factory and the Peas. I've got to vote for that Black Eyed Peas song. I'm going, going to make you sweat, C& Peas song. I'm going, Gonna Make You Sweat, C&C Music Factory.

You're going retro? My Girl Debbie. Yeah. Claude, what is it going to be? This is a stacked line-up today. Isn't it? Yeah. Yeah.

I feel like I'm filling up at a C&C Music Factory. Hell yeah, Claudia. I want like an upbeat, you know? I want a party vibe. Wow. Alright. As soon as it starts, you'll know you made the right decision. Debbie, you are the winner of Birthday Banger today.

We're taking it back to 1991 for yours this afternoon. Congratulations. Debbie, we're going to make you sweat this afternoon. Are you ready? Yeah, I'm on the ride. I'm going to turn it up and rock down on you. Yeah, Debbie. Send it, my friend.

I feel like I'm at a Les Mills aer and rock down on it. Yeah, Debbie. Send it, my friend. I feel like I'm at a Les Mills aerobics class in the 2000s. Awesome. Thanks, guys. You're welcome, Debbie. Bree and Clint, here's your birthday banger on ZM. Give me a new day. Give me a new day. Bree and Clint.

Everybody, come on, let's go. Banger That's the winner of Birthday Banger For Debbie from the year 1991 The CNC Music Factory I just know I pictured Debbie Somewhere In New Zealand

Sending it in the car. She probably took her bra off, nearly took an eye out. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know? Totally. If I know Debbie. What if she took her bra off,

nearly took an eye out, what'd she do her eye with? Oh, um, the sun visor in the car. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Look, I wasn't listening to much music in 1991, apart from the Chipmunks,

but I imagine when that song came out, people were like, what the hell is this? This is amazing. What the hell? I only thought you could do rock music. What is this? I love it.

Lots of good contenders today. I would have been happy with Black Eyed Peas too, but that was a banger. Bree and Clint. We want to know what you learned about your partner from the bank statement. And ooh, this is juicy. Oh, my God.

We have the person on the line who texts us before to say they'd learned that their girlfriend was stealing from their parents. Right. And they want to be anonymous, obviously. Hi, Anonymous. Hi, Anonymous. Hey, how you doing?

You found out your girlfriend was stealing from your parents in the banking. Yeah, it kind of came out because my parents were quite, you know, they were checking their statements pretty regularly. Yeah, okay. What's this $300 cash withdrawal that we don't recognise? Did she have access to your parents' banking? Yeah, so on some previous occasion, my mum had said to her, can you go down to the shops and get something?

And gave her the EFTPOS card. She wrote down the details. Yeah, so she just made a note of that. And at a future time, went down and made a little unauthorised withdrawal. How long had you guys been together at this stage? Long enough that I was shopping for a ring at the time. Oh, anonymous! No, anonymous!

And you're not still together, are you? No, not after that. It was quite a fortunate $300 really well spent. Absolutely, yeah, yeah. I'm always interested in people's justification. So when you confronted her about it, what was her explanation? My family had more

money than her family and that kind of made it okay. I would have went with, I slipped and fell onto your mum's credit card. Yeah, yeah. I think that would have been, you know, went down better. For the excuse the OnlyFans guy used and went,

oh, no, it's European scammers. I don't think it's me. Please buy me the ring. Oh, anonymous. I'm sorry to hear that. Yeah, sorry about that, mate. That's all good. That ends good, eh?

Yeah. It happens for a reason, these things. So thank you. We appreciate it. Someone text through and they said, my missus spent $200 on a gym membership for one month and she went once. I wouldn't have known except she had used the joint card.

Be very careful questioning your wife's gym membership, okay? Just let her have it. Is it worth the fight for $200? I don't think it is. Listen to this one. I learnt that my husband had a secret savings account and it had just over ten thousand dollars in it he said uh uh he set up an account and had his work send and split part of his pay to that account so i couldn't see it the stupid prick didn't stop the statements statements though and I found one and opened it. I'm no longer with him. Not just because

of that of course but what a sneak. What was he saving for? Isn't that what you do with your pay? Yeah. You told me because you said I should set it up like that as well. No, I don't have two accounts. I get half my pay put into my TAB account. It's different.

This person's anonymous as well. Hi, anonymous. Hi, anonymous. Hi. What did the bank statement reveal about your partner, anonymous? That after we had made like a pledge together about losing weight and getting fit and being healthy. Okay.

She then went and was buying fast food. Oh, I know where this is going. She was buying fast food. Fast food. Yeah. She then went and was buying fast food. She was buying fast food. Every day. Every day? Every day. It wasn't just on occasion. It was like a little bit of an addiction, I think. My dad got done

for the exact same thing. Him and mum made a commitment they were going to get his cholesterol down and then she found out he'd been getting two barbecue bacon cheeseburgers from Burger King before work every day. Every day? Every day. Anonymous, though.

Like, look, we've all had a sneaky little trip through the drive-thru on the way home, had a little sneaky eat in the car and then dumped it at the, you know, at the park trash bin, haven't we? No. This was sort of a trying to get healthy so we could have kids sort of a thing. Yeah, yeah, commitment. You did it together.

And it was an everyday thing. I'm just saying it's relatable because we've all done that from time to time. Did your relationship survive the secret fast food takeaway eating lie? Of course. I haven't brought it up to him either. I just feel like if he wants to do that, then that's him. I don't want to change his life.

You're telling us before you are telling him, Anonymous. What's that? Anonymous. Anonymous. Is there any part of you which, you know, you found out this information, do you feel like you're like oh, I should just talk to him about it, you know get it all out in the open I don't want him to feel embarrassed

we've been together for seven years and I just feel like if he doesn't want to be on the same journey then that's okay, I'll let him I just, next time I eat something unhealthy he won't be sharing with me Fair enough And you just say to him I'll let him. Next time I eat something unhealthy, he won't be sharing with me. Fair enough, Anonymous.

And you just say to him, you've had yours. Is it appropriate to give you 50 KFC chicken dollars or no? I will be eating that, but he won't. Yeah, that's just for you. It's coming your way, Anonymous. Thank you so much. Last one. I found out my ex-boyfriend.

We asked what did the bank statement reveal. I found out my ex-boyfriend of four years had a serious gambling addiction when I opened his bank statement instead of our joint statement. The $1,000 that he said he bet on a horse race and won $10,000 was actually a $10,000 bet that had won $100,000.

Yeah. Can you imagine opening that and realising? Where's the other 90 grand? Where is it? Yeah. You know? And not only that, you're betting $10,000. Yeah, on a horse.

On a horse. Oh, I'd be fuming. Bree and Clint. And that's us for the end of our fourth to last show of the year. Wee-hee! I've got to go. I'm going to my weekly quiz gathering. Are you still doing that?

Yes. Yeah. Every Tuesday we gather. And we've got our biggest turnout coming from the last couple of months, actually. Oh, yeah? We're going to have our biggest team yet, which I'm expecting better results. What does that look like? It's going to be eight or nine of us. Oh, yeah? We're going to have our biggest team yet, which I'm expecting better results. What does that look like? It's going to be eight or nine of us.

Oh, yeah. How many can you have on a quiz team before it's considered cheating? Oh, there's some teams that have like ten. Oh, yeah? But most weeks we've got like five or six. I've got to go too. I'm starting to get nervous about the fact that I haven't done any Christmas shopping. Oh, yeah?

I'd be getting nervous too if I was you. I'm not going to do any tonight. I'm just going to think about it for a bit. How many people, how many presents do you have to buy? I don't know. I haven't even done a list. What are you doing? You haven't even written down like, you know, oh this could be good for this person. Nah.

It's in my head somewhere but Good luck. Here's my best advice. Do not go to the shops Without writing that list Yeah it's good advice Like just some ideas Like ideas to get you started

I called my wife today And I Because I had been thinking about it And I said to her You didn't say What do you want for Christmas? No no no I called her and I said

Hey I'm just checking You're not getting me a Christmas present are you? She said no I wasn't planning on it and I said, hey, I'm just checking. You're not getting me a Christmas present, are you? She said, no, I wasn't planning on it. Okay. I said, good, good. Just so we're clear. Because we don't do Christmas presents, but if she had. Whose idea was that originally?

Ours. It must have been someone's to be like, hey. Yeah, I know you're not on board with it. It's a very good idea. It's a very good idea. Nah, I think it takes the magic out of it. Nah. And I need the gifts. Yeah, yeah. I need the magic.

I need the gifts. For one time. Anyway, if you are doing it, if you and your partner have said we don't do Christmas presents, I think it's important to check in every year and just double check. Because if one year they decide to get you a present and you don't have anything, the argument that you never get each other anything won't hold up in the relationship court.

But this is the problem. It won't. This is the problem. You know? Like it can, there's grey area and then someone makes a mistake and then. Yeah. You can always try and claim the moral high ground by buying a surprise present. No, but that's the worst thing to do.

Are you going to give me anything? Oh, that's okay. I don't mind. I got you something. But that's okay. I want you to open it anyway. That makes you the a-hole. You know that. If you're that person.
