Everyone's got a podcast these days, don't they? What does mini drive? A mini. Hopefully, yeah. You'd hope so. If mini driver doesn't drive a mini, there's something wrong.

If mini driver isn't a mini driver, then what is the mini company doing? If she's not an ambassador for that company, then what are you up to? And if Courtney Cox doesn't have... She's got her own line of something at Peaches and Cream. She has gone on that podcast and she shared a really honest and personal story about how her engagement broke up. So she was engaged to this guy. I think they've been dating for a number of years.

They were engaged, so they were fiancés. And she talked about how they broke up and how brutal it was. Take a listen. Three years in, we broke up, and it was really intense. We broke up in therapy. I didn't know it was coming, whether I should have or not. We went to this therapist to talk about our boundaries, what we could and couldn't accept about each other.

There's that acceptance. Instead, he just broke up within the first minute. And I was like, what? And we were engaged. And I was so shocked. I was in so much pain. I also don't like surprises. What the hell?

That's such a dick move. What in the world? You agree to go to couples therapy and then you break up within a minute? You tell the person that you are willing to work on the relationship and go to therapy. What a D-bag. And the whole time you're just planning to break up with them with a mediator there. Yeah, in front of someone. Do you think, do they think that like it's the nice way to break up with them because

at least they have a therapist there to talk to? I think that's a horrible decision. I don't want to break up in front of my therapist. God. Yeah, what a brutal way to do it. That's the worst decision ever. In the first minute as well. In the first minute.

Yeah. That's worse than a super public breakup where there's heaps of people around. Do what normal people do and get the therapist to tell you you need to break up. Yeah. Pay them some extra on the side. Make it the therapist's job. Yeah.

Wow. I wonder how much that session costs if that happened. Yeah. Like within the first minute. Like do you pay? Surely you have to pay for the whole hour. I'd be leaving. And do you?

I'd be out. Who? Like, I'd be out of that session. Who? Me. Like, if that was me. If you were Courtney Cox? Yeah.

Or if you were the therapist? If I was Courtney Cox? Yeah, yeah, yeah. The therapist can't go anywhere. Well, I think you're all out of the session. The therapist's like, well, I think that's session over. There's no job.

My job's done. I'd be like, I can't save this. Yeah, this is a write-off. Why'd you guys come here? Couple therapy I find interesting. And you have to be, I think, hmm. You have to be very open-minded, I think. And wanting to be.

Both people really need to want to be there. And work on the relationship. For it to work, yeah. I think you both have to be, yeah. It's never going to work if one person really wants to go and the other person's getting dragged along. I'd love to know the success rate of couples therapy because if you're going to couples therapy,

it suggests that there is an issue. Maybe not always. Maybe not always. I think it's quite healthy even if, I wouldn't judge people if they were like, look, we've got a healthy. I don't judge anybody. Like we've got a healthy relationship, but we find that couples therapy.

Could help us. Makes it better. Yeah. Or helps us through some of the more difficult stuff. I guess I'm wondering of the couples that go there as a last resort, what the success rate is. Yeah, interesting. Like how many couples end up turning it around via therapy and how many just go, oh, well, at least we tried. We gave it a red rock crack.

At least we can tell the kids We gave it a red rock crack. At least we can tell the kids we gave it a crack. Yeah. I mean, and I feel like you'd feel good if you were like, well, we did couples therapy. Not my fault. I thought, let's put it out there. 0800 dial ZM.

It is a personal question. But have you been to couples therapy? And did it work? Yeah, did it work or did it not? Did it save your relationship? Did it make your relationship heaps better? Did it make you realise that you needed to break up with someone that you didn't realise you

actually should be breaking up with, not trying to make it work with? Yeah. This person wants to be anonymous. Hi Anonymous. Hi Anonymous. Hi there. Hello, you went to couples therapy? Yeah, sure did. My wife and I went after the first lockdown.

We decided to move into separate houses. That makes sense. I feel like a lot of couples did, Anonymous. And, yeah, we were separated for about a year. We went to couples therapy once a week and, yeah, managed to work it out. And after a year, moved back in together, and we've been happy families ever since. I've got goosies from that story. That's amazing.

Are you back on an even keel, or would you say it's better than ever? It's better than ever. Yeah, yeah, things are really good. And I think the key was that both of us wanted to get back together. We just had some things to figure out. Oh, my God. So it was worth every penny then, anonymous?

100%, yes. So from a success story, I'm curious, what does couples therapy do for you? Does it help you understand what your partner needs more or does it help you understand what you need more or is it a bit of everything? For us, it was communication, you know, being able to say the things you want to say in a safe space,

if that makes sense. Yeah. Yeah, being able to communicate the things that are good or not so good or things that... Oh, my God, I feel like they should teach that in school. Yeah. I feel like relationships as a whole would be better off. Stuff algebra.

I don't need algebra. Hey, thanks, Anonymous. That's quite inspiring. We appreciate your honesty. No problem at all. Thanks, Anonymous. I love this text. Someone said, I can't call in, but I had a couples therapy session once

and I had ended things with my ex as she was cheating on me with a girl for a few months. I've ended up marrying my therapist. She's no longer a therapist anymore. You couldn't be. And my ex is now married to a girl. Wow. God, there's so many things going on in that story.

I might have watched too many movies, but I feel like you have to resign. That's what happens in Step Brothers. Yeah. You have to resign as a therapist if you want to date one of your patients. Yeah, I feel like that's a no-no. Yeah. Someone else said, my now ex-husband chose the – this text is so funny.

My now ex-husband chose the therapist and it was an absolute balls up. She was religious and growled at both of us for not loving each other in the God-fearing way. Safe to say, if I need a couples therapist again, I'll be choosing them myself. Your husband literally just googled couples therapist and rang the first one that came up. That'll do. That'll do. This text,

we spent thousands on couples therapy with my now ex. Obviously it didn't work out. I was devastated, but I carried on with individual therapy. It was the best thing that I ever did. The therapist told me that he could tell from the very first session that my ex had checked out. Really?

Yeah. Wow. Isn't that interesting? Because once they go, I guess your therapist can speak honestly. They can be like, babes, I never liked that guy. See, I love therapists that really just give it to you straight. I hate the ones that dance around and you have to figure it out. Tell me what's wrong with me.

Just tell me what to do. Tell me. Give me some sort of guidance. Darren's here. Hi, Darren. Hi, Darren. Afternoon, how are you? We're good.

Good, thank you, mate. You've been to couples therapy, Darren. Yes, yes, we have. About three years ago, we probably did about eight weeks of counselling. Okay, how'd it go? Hugely beneficial. Oh, that's awesome. So what, like... Things were going a little bit rocky, but I would highly recommend it even if things are going good.

Okay. You just learn a lot more about each other. Whose idea was it, Darren, in the relationship to go and see the therapist? You or your partners? It was probably both of ours, really, because we wanted it to work. You know, we just sort of got a bit disorientated, I guess you could say. Sure. We just didn't know where to go, but we still loved,

we knew we loved each other. So we just wanted to do whatever we could to at least attempt to try and make it work. What was the biggest thing you think you got out of going to couples therapy? I think it's, like the guy said before, it is communication is a huge one. Yeah.

I mean, and the other one is is another big thing is thoughts and beliefs. Like your partner, for example, you might see a red car and I might see it as red, she might see it as slightly orange, but no one's actually wrong, if you know what I mean. Yeah. Yeah, I like that. You see it how you see it and you can't criticise each other for seeing things differently. And you don't have to agree, right? No.

No, that's right. You don't have to agree with each other. You just respect their thoughts and what they believe, as long as it's not hurting anyone or damaging anyone. And support each other, right? That's the main thing. Darren, if your therapist could hear you now, they would be so proud of you.

Look at you espousing philosophy on the radio. Can I just say, Darren, like listening to a bloke like yourself talk like you've spoke, like I'm inspired by that, Darren, so you should be really proud of yourself, mate. I think it's guys, you know, guys think they're hard asses. Yeah, I agree. They just need to lift the walls down and actually get emotional. Get vulnerable.

Yes, Darren! Guys, yeah, emotional available. Thanks, Darren. We appreciate it, mate. You're a legend, mate. Don't worry. Have a good one. On you, Daz.

Get this text. Therapy should be looked at as marriage maintenance. We maintain houses, cars, jobs. Why don't we maintain our relationships? It's true. Oh, that is such a good way of looking at it. A spring clean. You know?

I'm going to go home tonight and tell my wife that we need therapy. She's going to go, what the hell are you talking about? Like, it'll be great. It'll be good. Communication is key. Brian Clint. Friend of the show. Am I going to name him?

No, let's not name him. Let's just call him schmitty schmaclein okay smooth he pulled into the work car park because we work in the same building now he's on one of our sister radio stations and i saw him get out of his car and he had airpods in he was driving with airpods in i've seen this anonymous celebrity that i definitely haven't named sorry i've seen him driving around with airpods in too yeah've seen him. This anonymous celebrity that I definitely haven't named. Sorry. I've seen him driving around with earpods in too. Yeah. Yeah.

And I said, what's the deal? And he goes, oh, my car's too old. I don't have Bluetooth. So. If I need to make a phone call. Yeah. That kind of thing. I imagine he was just listening to S Club 7.

But yeah, I guess he could say. Or Britney Spears, I'd say. Yeah. So what's the deal? I've seen people do it before. Legally, are you allowed to drive with earpods in or like Beats by Dre headphones on? I'd say you're allowed to drive with earpods in.

Really? Yeah. It seems kind of dangerous, but then is any more dangerous than having loud music in your car? Yeah, driving around where it literally blows your eardrums out. It's so loud. So I've done some research. I've been reading this article published by driven.co.nz.

They said legally you're not allowed to do the following things with your phone in your hand while you're driving. Make or receive phone calls. Yeah. Send a text message or an email. Yep. These are all pretty basic knowledge. Create or send a video message.

Snapchat. Instagram story. Yeah. But people do, but it is illegal, just so you know. Of course it is. Or communicate in any similar manner with your phone in your hand. Yeah, you just can't have your phone in your hand. But that's not what AirPods is, is it?

No. If you just do the hey. Just phone in your hand. But that's not what AirPods is, is it? No. If you just do the hey. Just go, hey Siri. Hey Google. Can you. Do this thing for me. Yeah. And then they do it for you.

And then Siri gets it done. According to driven.co.nz, the law doesn't say that you can't have headphones on. However, if a police officer believes that you are driving carelessly as a result of using headphones, you can be charged with careless driving. Yeah, well, prove it. What was I doing?

Prove it. Prove it, officer. Yeah, it's a weird one to have to prove. It is a bit of a strange one. But if you were driving like a dickhead and they see that you've got enormous headphones on. Then just book me for that. Book me for reckless driving.

Our producer Ellie, when she used to work for us, I know that she was running a UE Boom in the front seat of her car. She would clip it. You'd clip it on the headrest, wouldn't you? I would. It was actually a JBL speaker. Shout out JBL. Sorry.

They gave it to us, I think, and I got one. Don't blame them. It turned into my car radio because I didn't have a radio. You had your Nana's old Corolla, didn't you? No, it wasn't just nana's old Corolla, didn't you? No, it wasn't just her nana's old Corolla. It was a champagne 1997 Corolla. Yes, it was

and she did me good. But yeah, I worked in radio. Didn't have a radio, so I had my JBL. Do you still run a Bluetooth speaker in the car? No, I've upgraded. I've got a bit older. She's got a fancy car now. Do you have a nice car now? It's not bad.

Yeah, it's not bad. It's got all the bells and whistles. Does it have a radio and Bluetooth? It does. It's got a touchscreen. I'm living in the future now, baby. It's got, you know you've made it when you've got, do they call it CarPlay?

Yeah. Yes, CarPlay. That's when you know you've made it. In reality, though, how different is a phone that automatically Bluetooths to your car stereo to a phone that Bluetooths to a portable speaker in your car that's plugged into the Siggy lighter? Really, how different is it? So long as you secure the speaker in the cup holder

or like Ellie did clip it onto the headrest, really, why is it any different? And then your phone's mounted on the dashboard and then that's just like the touchscreen that is your Apple CarPlay. Yep. So how is that really any different? Imagine time travellers if they just tuned into this conversation. Well, they've got one of those cassette tapes that you plug into your Walkman, into your

Discman, and then you put that into the tape player of your car. Remember that? I remember. That piece of technology, I still don't understand to this day how it worked. It was clever. The tape had the cord hanging off of it, and then you plug that into the headphone jack of your Disman. What about the one, the iTrip, where you plug it into your Siggy lighter,

and then it comes up with a frequency that you tune your radio into, and then your iPod connects to the iTrip, and the iTrip broadcasts your iPod over an FM frequency to your radio into. Yes. And then your iPod connects to the iTrip and the iTrip broadcasts your iPod over an FM frequency to your radio. Yes, I had that before the JBL. Yeah, crazy. Crazy tech. Isn't that wild? Isn't that wild?

We sound like such old people right now. Bring back a Discman, eh? And then you'd know where all the skips were on the CDs because they got bumped. I had a record player in my car. Bree and Clint. Time for Five on Time. Stop the clock, win the cash.

Come on, a five. A six. I'm sorry. Six. Do you want to know, though? You're so flipping close to 6.00. 6.01. Oh, you should have called for six on time, Gemma.

We're going to play that after five on time. Yeah. Bugger, Gemma. We're going to play six on fire. We appreciate you calling through and playing. No, that's lovely. Thank you so much. You're welcome.

Point nine-oh. Oh, close to six again result. 5.90. Close to six again. I think she needs to check. It's five on time, not six on time. Hey, don't you come for Gemma. I will come for you. Our producers are both laughing. We love Gemma. You guys think it's so easy.

Ivory Tower, you're producing Ivory Tower. Look at you. We're laughing. We love Gemma. You guys think it's so easy. You clearly don't up there in your ivory tower. You're producing ivory tower. Look at you. How very dare you. It's so easy when you don't have to do it. Yeah, pretty easy. I'm going to turn them off. Yeah, turn them off.

No, we stand with Gemma. Yeah. Kia kaha, Gemma. Yeah, we love you. I realised this week that I'm entering a new era in my life this weekend. What's the era? Your Taylor Swift era? No, no.

Finally. We've been telling you for how many years? Come on. I think I'm well and truly in my Taylor Swift era, but not by choice. Yeah, see, that doesn't mean you're in the era then. No, it's not my Taylor Swift era. This weekend, I have my first 40th birthday party from my friend group. Oh. Oh.

Yeah. No, that's not true. Why? You had a 40th in your friend group like a couple of years ago. Talking about Ross Boss? Yeah. Yeah, but he's older than us. So, yes, I know.

Are you talking about people that you actually like respect because they're the same age? Well, you were at Ross Boss' 40th. You were at his 40th, so it means you were in that era as well. Yeah. No, no, no. You know the difference. Yeah.

Ross is one of my older friends. You're lucky he's on holidays. This weekend will be the first of our friend group of the same age of people to turn 40. And it's really put things in like a sharp focus for me where I'm like, oh, I'm onto that stage of life now. At least you're not in the funeral stage. That's an interesting point.

That's the worst stage. That's an interesting point that you make. It got me thinking about what the stages are. 21st? No, you go back further than that. Your first party stage that you're in is like the fifth birthday stage where you're going to all of your friends' fifth

birthday parties or your kindy friends. I can't remember when I was five. No, you can't, but you were there. Yeah, I would have been there. And there was a two, like a 18 month period where every couple of weeks you had a fifth birthday to go to. Yeah. And then you would have had 16th birthday parties would be the next one.

I never got a 16th. Didn't you? I was at boarding school. Yeah. They do 16th birthdays for you guys. No, they lock you up. Yeah. And then they throw away the key and they never come see you.

To be honest, I didn't do a big 16th either. I didn't have like a sweet 16th. I feel like in America. It's a very American thing, yeah. Definitely more American. But I feel like 18th is more a thing here. I reckon 21st is the next one. But 18th's the big thing too.

Like bigger than 16, in my opinion. The problem with an 18th is you don't all turn 18 at the same time. So you turn 18 and you're like, let's go to the clubs. And the three of you that are 18 can go to the clubs and the rest of you have to go home. I was the very first one. To turn 18? Yes. Yeah, that's not fun. My birthday's January 3rd. You want to be in the middle, of you have to go home. I was the very first one. To turn 18? Yes.

Yeah, that's not fun. My birthday's January 3rd. You want to be in the middle, I reckon. Yeah, absolutely. You don't want to be first and you don't want to be last. Yeah. Then after 21st, do you reckon it's weddings? Nah, 30th.

30th and weddings? 30th and weddings all probably happen around that time. But you have like a 10-year window in your life where all the weddings happen, you know, where all your friends start getting married and then you start looking around and you go, oh, there's no more weddings in our friend group to happen. And then you're on to 40th.

40th, 50th. 60th slash retirement parties? Yeah. Oh, no. No, before that, I reckon after 40th is divorce parties and second marriages. I can't wait till I get invited to a divorcee party. Yeah, yeah.

I feel like that'd be a good time. Yeah. There'd definitely be magic mushrooms there. At the divorce party? Yeah. You know, because they're just like, I'm free. I'm going to just do whatever. Yeah, yeah, true.

Well, it's new lease on life parties, aren't they? Divorce parties. Because you've got to reinvent yourself. And magic mushrooms are good for that. Then, like you said, 50th, 60th, retirements, and then funerals. I know. That's so depressing to think about. There's a time in your life where it's like, this is the funeral stage.

I'm in my hashtag funeral era. I both go first. Do you? Yeah. Nah, I'd like to speak at a few. Would you though? Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's the last place I want to speak.

Put it this way. Because the person that you're speaking about can't even hear it. I have friends who asked me to DJ their 21st. I have friends who asked me to DJ their weddings. I will have friends that will ask me to DJ their 40th's. So I would like to at least DJ one of my friends' funerals. Oh, can I request a song at the funeral?

Yeah. I'm out of hell. Way to hell. Can you imagine putting together the playlist? You're like, okay, a bit of that, a bit of ACDC. What else we got? Bad Outta Hell. Bad Outta Hell. Bad Outta Hell.

I mean, just all the good ones. Yeah. You know, all the classic funeral songs. Yeah, yeah, yeah. If you do a yardie at your 21st and you cut the cake at your wedding, what is the thing that happens at a 40th, I wonder? What is it? 40th? Oh, no, I know? What is it? A 40th?

Oh, no, I know what it is. Free chiropractor. Prostate test. Oh. Prostate check. Same, same, same. You just have that on tap. You're like, here's the free chiropractor over here.

After the speeches. Prostate checks over here. After the speeches, the doctor walks in with the glove and everyone gets to watch. Coffee enemas over here. He's healthy. Yay! Woohoo! Bree and Clint This is one of those

Am I the a-hole for not switching plane seats stories I always love weighing in when it has nothing to do with me I always find them quite clean cut Like they always blow up Yeah there's not really But I feel like There's been very few ones which I've wanted to argue the point on It's rare there's a lot of grey area.

Yeah. Like it's usually pretty clear who's the a-hole. I feel like this is another one of those, but it's more like, can you believe that a-holes like this exist? Okay. But let me tell you about it. You might have a different opinion. There's an Aussie guy who's asking,

am I the a-hole for not switching seats on a plane so that a newlywed bride could sit beside her husband on a long-haul flight. Ooh, I need the details. So the Aussie guy purchased himself, the single guy, purchased himself a single premium economy seat for a 14-hour flight from Melbourne to Dubai. Great.

Great idea if you can do it. Oh, yeah. He sat down on the flight. The man beside him in premium economy had just been upgraded to premium economy. Okay. Lucky. Yeah, yeah, nice, eh? And he said, I want to ask you a favour.

He said, he asked the man who had paid for his own seat if he could switch seats. If the guy who had paid for his seats could switch seats with the guy who'd been upgraded's wife. Yes. Because they'd just got married and they were on a honeymoon. But his wife was in economy. Don't care. Go tell someone else. He got upgraded to premium economy.

I paid for my seat. And he asked the guy who had paid for his seat if he could give up his seat for his new wife. Absolutely not. Because it was their honeymoon. Don't care. Good for you. The guy, the Aussie guy said,

congratulations, but no. No way. The husband said, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please. And I would have said, who are you? Sabrina Carpenter? The guy who paid for his seat said, look, if you really want this,

you can pay me the difference in seats. And you know what? I'm a nice person. I will go and sit back in economy. Your wife, your new wife can come and sit up here in premium economy, but you need to pay me the difference and the difference is about $1,000.

That's really nice of that guy to even put that on the table. Because then they would have both got a premium economy upgrade for $1,000 Because then they would have both got a premium economy upgrade for $1,000. So they would have got half price upgrades. Oh, I love this text that's just come through. Yeah.

Is there more detail? The guy, the other guy, the guy was asking for it. Yeah, what did the husband do? Did he take it? He said, no, we're on a budget. It's our honeymoon. And he called him an a-hole for not letting his wife have the seat. Oh, come off of it, mate.

You know, and this is exactly right. The person on the text machine said the a-hole is the new husband for agreeing to be upgraded without his wife in the first place. Correct. On their honeymoon. I'd be ropeable. The a-hole is the guy who didn't offer his new wife the upgrade as a honeymoon present.

He is the a-hole. And go, hey, babe, I've just been given this. I hate that guy. I want to give it to you. Oh, and then you have to sit next to this dude for the entire 14 hours. Exactly. Oh. Someone else in the comments of this said,

if that guy really wanted to sit next to his wife so much because it was their honeymoon and he really wanted to be with his new wife he there's an easy solution you go back to economy find the person sitting next to your wife and say hey we've got one a premium economy seat but there's two of us so you take the seat in premium economy so that i can sit back in here and economy with my wife if he really wanted to sit with his wife he wouldn't have taken the upgrade in the first place. Full stop. The nerve of that guy to turn around and then go, you're the a-hole for not giving me your paid full seat. He paid for it.

He paid for it. He paid for it. How entitled do you think you are? This is the couple that when they get onto their honeymoon are going to go and knock on people's doors who have better hotel rooms than them and go, hey, can we switch rooms with you? Because it's our honeymoon. I feel like...

You've got a nicer room than us. Can we have your room? It's our honeymoon. It's the exact same thing. You know what's interesting? I feel like this is a blessing that in disguise that he was not up in premium economy with his wife. Why?

His new wife. Because if she had been there and heard this, she would have left him. Nah, I reckon they're cut from the same cloth. You reckon? Yeah, that's why they're married. Yeah. Yeah.

And she would be like, you go and get me a seat, babe. You go, babe. You go get me a seat, babe. No, for free. We don't want to pay for anything. It's our honeymoon, remember? Nah. Free and Clint.

Let's play What's the Plot? Once upon a time, there was a girl. She was smart, debatable, talented, eh, athletic. Not really. But picking a movie title based on just the plot line, that she can do. Bree and Clint's What's the Plot? One of our producers, Ella, said that that intro should be redone

because in her words, Bree, you are athletic. I appreciate you saying that, Ella. But I don't know where you got that from. Sorry, I can hear you now. Yeah, you are athletic and you're beautiful and I just feel like it insults. I mean, maybe it doesn't. No, more compliments.

Does it hurt your feelings? No, I love it. I'm pretty sure I wrote feel like it insults. I mean, maybe it doesn't. No, more compliments. Does it hurt your feelings? No, I love it. I'm pretty sure I wrote it. Oh. Ignore me. Our movie guessing game is What's the Plot, where today we're playing for $150 cash. Sophie's got the chance to take it out.

Kia ora, Soph. Hi, Soph. Hey, how's it going? Good, thank you. Have you ever played along with this game in the car before? I've played along a few times in the car before, but I've never managed to get through. Okay.

Well, it's good to have you here, Soph. Just so we're clear, I will read out movie plot lines, famous movies, and if you know what it is, you buzz in with Sophie. Nice and quickly. If you can tell me the name of the movie, you'll get a point, and if you can do that twice before Bree does, you will win $150 cash today. Please, sounds good.

Best of luck, Soph. Our theme today, in light of the assassination attempt on former President Trump, today these are all movies with guns in them. Oh, that could be anything. Could be anything. Guns are a major feature in these films. Put it that way.

Okay. Good luck, everybody. Here comes movie plotline number one. A legendary assassin retires from his violent career after marrying the love of his life. Sophie. Is it John Weck? Puh. Very his life. Sophie. Is it John Weck? Poof.

Very well done, Sophie. Very well done, Sophie. Have you seen him? Yeah, absolutely love the John Weck movies. I've never seen one. But that was a sitter for you then? Haven't seen a single one. Keanu?

Keanu Reeves. Yeah. Yeah. Movie number two. One point to Sophie. Captain John Miller takes his men behind enemy lines to find a man who's... Brie. Saving Private Ryan.

I'll give you the same reaction. Game on, Soph. Let's go. World War II film. Lot of guns. Area 11. Lot of guns in World War II. Lot of guns. Best of luck, Soph. Come on. It's down. Give War II film. A lot of guns. A lot of guns in World War II. A lot of guns.

Best of luck, Soph. Come on. Give me your best, Sophie. To this. Go down swinging. Movies with guns. Who's going to take it out? Plot line number three.

John and Jane, a couple in a stagnating marriage, live a deceptively... Sophie. Mr. and Mrs. Smith. I thought that was a sit-up for Brie, but she didn't get it. Sophie, you're the champion. Well done, Sophie.

To be honest, I wasn't concentrating. I need to take my ADHD meds. Sophie, that was a well-earned and deserved win. $150 cash coming your way. Awesome. Thank you, guys. It was fun playing. Is this your first time calling the show?

Yep, this is my first time calling the show. So you'd be a first-time caller? I am a first-time caller. Oh, well, we can't let you leave. I'm going to celebrate you a bit more, Sophie. Appreciate you finally calling through and taking the money right from underneath me. Thank you, guys.

Cheers, Soph. Brie, don't worry. We've got a 50 KFC chicken dollar consolation prize coming your way. Stoked with that. Brie and Clint. Jeez, a lot of traffic and car-based chat at this time on this show in the last couple of days. I think we are now the leading show for traffic chat. Which makes sense how we secured our next guest.

Please welcome to the show the Minister of Transport, the Honourable Simeon Brown. Kia ora, Simeon. Hello, Simeon. Kia ora, good afternoon. You know you're the most high-ranking government official we've ever had on this radio show? Oh, it's just a privilege and a pleasure to be with you. I feel a real honour, so thank you.

This is a humbling experience. The feeling is mutual. Before we state to you, because we're looking for an endorsement for our idea this afternoon. We're looking for some support. The Cabinet Manual does have things about endorsements from Cabinet Manuals, but go on, go on.

Hear us out. I guess we're looking for a seal of approval or just like a wink and a nudge. That would also do. I don't know if I can wink over the radio, but I'll try. We can play a sound effect. Is it true that you are out there at the moment

rolling out signs that will tell people where speed cameras are before they get to the speed camera? Indeed, it is. That is an excellent start for our proposal. Yeah, it's a very good start because this is it. Bottom line, I'm just going to give it to you straight. We were wondering, the idea that's popped into our heads for our radio show is we would like to be a show that gives people the information

about where speed cameras, mobile speed cameras are, and people call in, tell us the information, and then we deliver that back. We share it. Yeah, we share it with the listeners. And we were just wondering if you would be on board. I don't know if I can give you a wink or a nod for that one. Why?

We're rolling the signs out for the fixed cameras. And the reason for it is the fixed cameras are there in high-risk locations, warning motorists before they reach those locations, the intent is to get them to slowly speed them down if they are speeding. That's our intention too, by the way. We want to help. That's our intention. However, the message also is that just because we're doing this for fixed cameras

doesn't give people an excuse to just speed everywhere else. And so the point of mobile cameras is that there could be a camera anywhere, anytime, and we want people to keep to the speed limits. But Simeon, we think that if we give out the information for some of the mobile cameras, it's going to automatically slow people down because they'll know they're there. So people will slow down. Ipso facto, same results, Simeon. Yeah, it's not 100% guarantee that we're giving out all of the information.

I can see exactly where you're coming from. I actually think the New South Wales government may have been doing something around signage for mobile cameras, but we're taking the approach to this stage. It's around fixed cameras, saying, look, if you're approaching these

cameras, here's a warning. We want you to adjust your speed if you are going too fast. These are high-risk. Okay, so you can't endorse our idea, but... No, no. But, I mean, is it illegal? Is it illegal or is it frowned upon? What kind of grey area are we playing in?

Definitely frowned upon. Definitely frowned upon. Please don't like it. I wouldn't encourage it. No. He has to say that. Yeah. We're trying to save some people some money, I think, as well. Yeah, I mean, it's two birds, one stone. And look, Simeon, if we do go ahead,

look, like... Without your endorsement, by the way. Without your endorsement. Not you endorsing it at all. But could we get some sort of funding from the government? Oh no, no, no. I don't think so. We're in a very tight financial situation at the moment as a government.

We're trying to get the government books back in order. That's a silly question. You guys are tighter than a cat's bum at the moment aren't you? Well look, I mean, we want to give some tax relief to working families in a couple of days time. We want

that to happen. We think it's great. Something that will put money back into tax paying families pockets is less speeding fines. Well and we're rolling out these cameras for the fixed, these signs for fixed cameras. Oh well that's good. You're doing your part. You're doing your part. You do the fixed ones, we'll do the mobile

ones without your endorsement. That is the Minister of Transport. Brianne Clint. What would you do if you found out your fiancé had blown the budget from the savings account on their stag do or hen's night?

I'd be pretty upset. I'd want to hear details of what the money went on. Yeah. Where did you spend all the money? Where did you spend it? I mean, pretty upset. I'd want to hear details of what the money went on. Yeah. Where did you spend all the money? Where did you spend it? I mean, for me. And was it worth it? Depends how much.

Depends how much. Yeah. Like, you know, I get it. As a percentage of the total amount of money. Yeah. Like, I get it. You want to have a good time. And if you went a little bit overboard, you spend a little bit of the savings.

You know, I'm pretty understanding. I'm like, was it fun? And if it was super fun. I feel like I would be a bit like that too. I'd want to know. Depends how much. Because here's the thing. If your partner does do that and you don't go overboard,

you've got one up your sleeve. Exactly. You've got a major whoopsie for later in the relationship, like a get out of jail free card. Yeah. Yeah. That's not the case for this woman. Listen to this story.

She says, we'd been saving for our wedding and honeymoon for the past year and a half, putting aside a significant portion of our income to make our special day and honeymoon perfect. Yeah. We had saved around $20,000 in our savings account. The morning after his stag party, she checked the savings account

and he had spent the entire lot on the bachelor party. The whole thing? She confronted him and he said that he got carried away and didn't realise how much he was spending and he admitted that he got carried away and didn't realise how much he was spending. And he admitted that he was paying for his friend's expenses as well.

They're meant to pay for yours. Thinking it would be a great last hurrah before they tied the knot. That's shit, mates. They should have taken your card off you. They shouldn't have been letting you pay for anything on your stag do. She was quite understanding about it. She said, look, you need to find a way to replace the money that you've used. But it was then that he came back and said that she now needs to cancel her hen's night,

which is coming up in a few weeks, because they don't have the money. No, that's so poorly thought out. So she had... She gave you an out. She gave you an out. So she said she'd spent about $1,500 of her personal savings, so not from the joint account, on her hen's night, which had already been paid off, and he's like,

well, we can't do that now. We can't do that. We can't be spending that money. Silly boy. We can't do it. All he needed to do... money. Silly boy. We can't do it. All he needed to do, how many guys do you reckon were on a stag do? Ten?

That's about a normal stag do? Ring each of the guys, say, hey, how great was my stag do? They're like, it was so good. Yeah, I've had a blowout. I need each of you to transfer me two grand. If you're a good friend and you were there and participating.

You go, I'll put in some of my money, but I need you to give me whatever you can. You drank it. You were there. Like I spent it on you. Give me something. You watched it. Yeah. You were there and you put it inside that thing that she was wearing. Exactly.

20 grand. You put that up your... I'm trying to think what would need to happen. I'm trying to think what would need to happen I'm trying to think what would need to happen for a $20,000 night to feel worth it. Like I feel like I need to start partying in Auckland and wake up in Rome. If my partner treated me like that

I'll be honest, if my partner treated me how this guy's treated her, I'd call off the wedding. Yeah. That's not for me. That's not the partner I want. I don't think that's too dramatic. I think the blowout is forgivable but the aftermath of it

It's how he's dealt with it afterwards is the thing that worries me. Everybody makes mistakes. Everyone makes mistakes and I mean that's a pretty big mistake. 20 grand is ridiculous. If you spent two grand I'd be like okay well, well, that's a good

night. Twenty grand and you'd spend a year and a half, I'd be fuming. I'd be like, that's not your money. That's not your money, it's our money. He's done that thing that happens on Stag Do's from time to time where people forget that the Stag Do or Hen's Do is the

entree and the wedding is the main course and you start thinking that the main event is the stag do. Goes to show where his priorities are. I'd dump his ass. I would. That's inappropriate and not acceptable behaviour. And I'd expect someone to do the same if I behaved like that. Yeah.

Dump me. It seems like we should have two-factor sign-off on money that's in the joint account, on a savings account. You know, if it's something you're saving for, it feels like it just could be a good safety net for both of you to go, hey, if any money comes out of this, we both have to do, you can get that on your phone, you can just get a little approval thing. Imagine if you're watching it in real time.

She's there sitting at home, he's on his stag do, and you're just watching all of these transactions. Yeah. She could have went in there and put a hold on the account. If she knew. If she had of known. Or she could have transferred all the money out of the savings into a safe account until after.

We want to ask this afternoon on 0800 DALS at M. What did your partner spend the savings on? Yeah. What did they blow Your joint money on Without permission Yeah Without consultation I guess

Yeah Without talking to you About it first And you just Well they did talk to you About it And you said no And then they went

And did it anyway Oh no Boats Motorbikes Horses Houses Clothing items Cars

Nights out Jet skis Jet skis Jet skis Yep Babe the jet ski's for us It's a two seater You can I can

I can piggy Like you can Sit on the back Babe it's memories You can't put a price on memories Babe We'll buy We'll buy a biscuit

And I can tow you On the jet ski It'll be It'll be so good Babe I got you a jet ski Instead of an engagement ring. These stories are juicy and bad and naughty and some of them kind of funny.

Should we kick it off with this text? Someone texts through $50,000 on his friend's business opportunities when he was depressed. All his hard work and property investment money from selling the houses and from his divorce before he met me, went down

the drain to his friend. He was nothing but a leech. That's so sad. Are you telling me? Are you telling me? Your partner was taken advantage of. This guy lent his friend 50 grand and then never got it back. I reckon he didn't even lend it. I reckon he bought into this business. Oh, yuck.

Amy's here. Hi, Amy. Hi, Amy. Hi. Hi. Did your partner spend some of your savings without telling you? Yeah. So we had this joint savings account, and he asked if we could spend some money out of it to get a project car going for the wedding.

Okay. And I was like, yeah, cool. He spent $1,500. He didn't tell me how much he was going to spend. He spent $1,500 to get this car going. Yeah. Right. The car goes, but we are still not married.

Oh, you got a car going, but not the wedding. Oh, no. Why? How come it's worked out that way? We run into a few issues with the dress and the celebrants and stuff. Okay. So it's not a priorities thing. It's not like he's prioritised the car over the wedding,

or is that kind of how you feel? That's kind of how I feel. Oh, no. That's the vibe. That's the vibe I'm picking up. Oh, no. Amy. Okay, thanks, Amy.

Someone said, my friend's fiancé spent their entire wedding and honeymoon savings, about $ grand, on gambling and adult lollies over a period of time. Adult lollies is such a good word. They still got married, but he ended up owing some money to some very bad people for those adult lollies. Not a surprise that they are no longer together.

That sucks. Someone else said, my dad and mum were sheep farmers and grazed dairy cows. My dad decided he needed a motorbike. He used the dairy grazing money to buy a Harley secondhand. Mum was pissed that he didn't wait a few months. But to be fair, he'd just beat stage four Hodgkin's lymphoma. He drove it for a year and then it rusted

in the garage for 14 years. He was doing a... He deserved that motorbike. You can't... I mean... You should obviously talk to your partner first, but I mean... No one's saying he didn't deserve the motorbike. No, that's what you were saying.

I'm just kidding. I know you weren't saying that. Hi, Anonymous. Hi, Anonymous. Hi, how are you guys? We're good. You sound like you're still pissed off about this, Anonymous. What did your partner spend the savings on? Well, he spent our savings on a new car, which we'd talked about initially,

and I'd said, nah, I'm not keen. Oh, that's even worse. Yeah, so that was about two years ago. Yeah. And very recently that car shat itself and it's now cost us an additional 11 grand to fix. So it was raw before and now it's raw again. Oh, God.

Have you, anonymous, tell me, have you used the phrase, I hate to say I told you so? Yeah, on more than one occasion. You've got to. This is the perfect situation to use it. What sort of car is this? It sounds like one of those dumb car purchases. What type of car was it? It's a Volkswagen 2-Rack.

It's a really nice car, but... Is it an old one? Those things are expensive to fit. Yeah, okay. Everything that goes wrong is like... You've got to be careful of those European cars, Anonymous. Everything costs an arm and a leg. Thanks, Anonymous.

Why I didn't want him to buy... Yeah. You cut her off. She was saying that's why she didn't want him to buy it. She knew. Someone texted. My partner has so little fiscal self-discipline that after 10 years together,

there is not and will never be a joint account. I love a well-worded text. At least you know. My darling partner blew our seat. Oh, that was the one we just talked to. Someone else said, a few years ago, my dad went to the motorbike shop

to get a second-hand farm bike. He came home with two farm bikes and a brand new Yamaha dirt bike. Oh, that's so expensive. Mum saw them on the trailer and she didn't speak to him for a few days. Is that all? Just a few days? I relate to that story because I feel like that's what growing

up with a farm is like. Dad would bring something home and then my mum would always buy, like she'd make a spiteful purchase. Oh yeah, like a return serve. Yeah. She'd be like, alright, you bought that and nobody's gonna go buy this. And that's true love.

We were talking just before about, did you blow, did your partner blow their savings? Finish that sentence. Did your partner blow the savings on a purchase without your permission? Yeah. And this text came in. My husband spent our savings on 39 purchase without your permission. Yeah. And this text came in. My husband spent our savings on 39 pregnant goats,

which quickly became a tribe of nearly 100 goats. I'm still waiting for my bathroom to be renovated. Country life, hey? You can't put a price on 39 pregnant goats. You can't. You just can't put a price on it. 39 pregnant goats are the gift that keep on giving. It is priceless. It is priceless.

Think of all the feta. Oh, think of it. The goat cheese. Those goats will pay for themselves in no time. Oh, my God. Just be delish. Okay, let's get into Birthday Banger, the gift that also keeps on giving. Number one songs when you turn 16.

Rebecca's going first. Kia ora, Rebecca. Hi, Bec. Hi, how are you? Good, thank you, mate. Whereabouts are you calling from? Queenstown. Oh, how cold is it there at the moment? Pretty cold, yeah. I can imagine.

There'd be snow on the mountains this time, yeah? I've been watching that TVNZ show New Zealand's Best Houses and basically every episode they have one that's either in Queenstown or Wanaka. And it just, my God, it doesn't look real. We were talking about AI before. The scenery in

Queenstown is so beautiful, it looks AI generated. Yeah. Yeah, pretty lucky. Yeah, pretty lucky. You lucky thing. Bec, okay, well let's do your birthday, Bec. What's your date of birth? It is the 10th of June, 96. Alright, that means you were 16 in 2012.

on Instagram at the end of last year? Because she tagged him at the Friday Gems video. Creep. Danielle's going to go next. Kia ora, Danielle. Hi, Danielle. Kia ora. How are you going?

Good, thank you. Whereabouts in the country are you? Oh, the Tron. The Tron. What's the temperature like there at the moment? A little bit cold. Not terrible. Not terrible.

It's good to hear. Good to hear. Hey, Danielle, what is your date of birth? The 2nd of January, 1993. All right. That means you were 16 in 2009. Second of Gen, 09. you were 16 in 2009. Second of Gen 09. This was at the top.

Someone tossed the bouquet. It's the song they play at weddings. You like that song, Danielle? Not bad. I'll take that. You'll take that? Okay, Berry Goats. It was huge that year. Birthday banger for Alicia. Hi, Alicia.

Hi, Alicia. Hi, guys. How are you? Good, thanks. I'm going to guess where you are. Take a guess. I want to say I know where she is. Christ, shit. To Ranga. Alicia, where are you?

I'm in Wellington. Wendy Welly. Wendy Welly. Smack bang in the middle of our two guesses. It's a delight to have you on the show. What's your birthday? 23rd of May, 87. Oh, yeah.

That means you were 16 in 2003. We've done the calculations, and this is your birthday banger. JT and Rock Your Body. What do you reckon, Leigh? Love JT. Love JT. Justin Timberlake. Yeah.

Good song. Good song. Okay, wait there. We've got to choose between JT, Flo Rida and Beyonce. Justin Timberlake. That's my vote. Don't discriminate against him because he did drink driving. Yeah, no

that's, we shouldn't judge him for drink driving. He couldn't help that. And putting people's lives in danger. Nah. No, I was,. No, I just always vote based on the feeling I get from the song. You're going for Flo Rida, aren't you? No, I know you hate single ladies.

I do. No, I don't hate, no, I hate the song Single Ladies by Beyonce. Can you please complete your sentence? Sorry, you hate the song Single Ladies by Beyonce. Oh, right. People knew what I meant. I think I'm voting for it. I know it won't get... Oh, yuck!

Okay, Ella, split vote. Wait, you're really good at hiding how you feel about me choosing this song. Okay, so what? You voted for Single Ladies and Rock Your Body. Yes. But you have picked a letter. Don't worry what we voted for. But you'll give me the eyes if I get the wrong one.

No, it's up to you. Don't let him giving you the eyes influence your vote. Just make it snappy. Just give me one. Single lady. I bought that on myself tonight. You did bring that on yourself. Yay!

I'm a single lady. Danielle, we love you and you won birthday banger. Congratulations. Congratulations. I'm so sorry you got outvoted. No, you're not. We're not, Danielle. No, you and you won birthday banger. Congratulations. I'm so sorry you got outvoted. No, you're not. We're not, Danielle. No, you're not.

The last thing I would want is for someone to record me having a breakup. Oh, yeah. Like, that's my worst nightmare. No one wants that. I don't even want to break up near a mirror. No. You know? I don't want to see that shit ever.

I don't want any part in that. No. No part in that whatsoever. But I came across this video and I believe, look, I feel like you don't hear them technically break up in the video, but I feel like because the woman has posted the video, it's a good sign that they broke up because of this. Okay. Oh, okay.

You're saying if they were still in a healthy relationship, she wouldn't have released this footage? No. Okay. Because I feel like then they would break up because why would you do that to your partner? Yeah, okay. You're saying if they were still in a healthy relationship, she wouldn't have released this footage? No. Okay. Because I feel like then they would break up because why would you do that to your partner? Yeah, yeah. So I think what you need to know for the audio

is I believe that the couple have been together for a long time, like maybe five years. Okay. Like a significant amount of time. And I believe this video was taken where they've gone away for a week holiday, I think. They've gone away for a week. Sure. And let's pick up the chat when something she has done has really annoyed her partner.

I have to leave the room. Because I farted in front of you. You could have made it go out slowly. You could have done anything. You could have gone leave the room? Because I farted in front of you? You could have made it go out slowly. You could have done anything. You could have gone to the bathroom. But instead, you decided to make it like balloon popping loud in front of you. Balloon? Okay, this is honestly, please stop.

Seriously, we have the room for a whole week, Jason. Stop. I'm going home. I'm not staying here. The rental car is in my name. Remember the airport? We can talk about this when we get back, but I'm going home. I'm not staying here. The rental car's in my name. Remember the airport? We can talk about this when we get back, but I'm sorry. Jason, stop.

My mother never farted in her entire life. Okay, this is ridiculous. He's going to the airport? He's leaving. He's leaving their holiday? He's leaving. He's out. Over a fart? So I think, and what I've've kind of because I've done my research

and the background info is I believe they've been together for a significant amount of time and I think she has held them in and that's not really something that they've done in their relationship. And she's decided to debut it on holiday. Or I don't know if it was an accident or she's just decided, nah, enough's enough. This is me now and he's just lost it. As someone who lives in a fart-free relationship,

you do bring this on yourself a little bit when you go so long without doing it, you know? Yeah. Like it becomes a whole thing. It becomes way bigger. It becomes a way bigger deal. Totally. And I'm not saying that the way I live

either. I don't know how she would react. Do you want to just to do it like just as a power move? Just to see what happens? Like no explanation, no build up, just one night you get home and you're like No part of me whatsoever I know
