Starting point is 00:00:00 The ZM Podcast Network. ZM Free and Clean. Get in here, girl. I'm here. I'm ready. Sorry. I was just making teas for our producing team. Oh, no, I don't want one, thanks. Oh, sorry. Didn't ask you. It's so funny.
Starting point is 00:00:25 It's this game the producers and I play where I always go get a glass of water before the show and I always ask them for a tea and I'm like, you don't have to have a tea. And then it's always this game where they always ask for a tea even if they don't want one. Yeah, right. And now I just ask real quietly as I'm walking through.
Starting point is 00:00:44 I'm like, do you guys want a tea? And then just keep walking. Yeah, so you don't have one. Yeah, right. And now I just ask real quietly as I'm walking through. I'm like, do you guys want a tea? And then just keep walking. Yeah, so you don't have to make one? Yeah. Interesting, because you say all of this. I don't see any cups of tea. I don't see a tea for me. I don't see a tea for the producers.
Starting point is 00:00:55 Oh, Ella got a tea. Producer Ella's got one. Oh, you got away with it with me then. Thank you. You whispered it as you walked past. Yeah, see? Claudia didn't hear it. The tea's wrong.
Starting point is 00:01:05 Oh, you left the tea bag in. You left the hear it. The tea's wrong. Oh, you left the tea bag in. You left the tea bag in. It's brewing. No. It's brewing in there. You have your tea black, so it needs to sit in the water. Yeah, for like 20 seconds and then out. Is that how is that all you leave your tea bag in there for?
Starting point is 00:01:19 I don't even know how you like your tea. 20 seconds and no milk. That's not a cup of tea. No, it is. That's just some sink water. Yeah. Thank you, Bree. That's not how I have my teas, but each to their own. Hey, today on the show, we have got another Add to Cart to give away.
Starting point is 00:01:37 We're going to add the last item at 4 o'clock. Have you looked what today's items are yet? No. Let's have a look together without giving it away. Oh, this is a really good one today. No. Let's have a look together without giving it away. Oh! This is a really good one today. Oh, that's fun. There's something in there for everyone
Starting point is 00:01:50 and I would like all three of those things. Oh, I'd like all three. Yeah. One will take care of something that nobody wants to do for themselves. Get that done professionally.
Starting point is 00:01:59 That sounds rude, but it's not. The other one's a bit of technology and the other one... Is an air fryer. What? Okay, so what we're going to do is we're going to add the last item at 4 o'clock. And then we're going to get you to call at 5 and give us all of the items.
Starting point is 00:02:10 And then you can have them on ZMZ to cart. So be listening out for that if you want to win all three. But first, let's kick off the show with $50 cash thanks to KFC. And a bit of tradie versus lady. Bree and Clint. Bree and Clint. Tradie versus lady. Bree and Clint. Bree and Clint. Tradie versus lady. Oh, here we go.
Starting point is 00:02:29 You want to score up, they'd see. So the ladies, they're on 47 wins for the year, and the tradies are a little bit behind on 35. A little bit behind. They need to win for two and a half weeks straight just to get level. Yeah, see, when you say it like that. I know. And this is the situation the ladies got themselves into last year
Starting point is 00:02:46 where it became an insurmountable task to get back on top. We're not even halfway through the year, so I'm not saying it's that yet. It's time. I'm just saying the ladies are really dominating. Yeah, they're going well at the moment, but that doesn't mean anything for today's game. Nope. Everything is up for grabs.
Starting point is 00:03:00 Let's meet our lady. She is calling in from the capital. She's 32, and she is more practical than her husband. Welcome to the show, Tara. Tara, g'day mate. Hello. We need an example of why you're more practical. Oh, so like stacking the boat as a car. In what way would you put a plastic tub in the boat? Long ways. No. No, it's the other way.
Starting point is 00:03:27 Really? I think so. I guess if it's not too long for the boat, then yeah, you would. Wait, are you married to Clint? You're taking on our tradie today. They're calling in from Hawke's Bay. They're 35.
Starting point is 00:03:43 And the natural fact is a baby turkey is called a... Oh, I can't even read the rest of that. Oh, we can't see. So the fun fact about them is an actual fact. a baby turkey is called a... Oh, I can't even read the rest of that. Oh, we can't see. So the fun fact about them is an actual fact. Is that right, Ella? Can you tell us what the fact is? A baby turkey is called a pult. A pult. All right.
Starting point is 00:03:55 Oh, now I've got to change question number three. Welcome to the show, Nathan. G'day, Nathan. Good, mate. Good. Alright, are we ready to roll, guys? There's $50 cash up for grabs thanks to KFC, so you need to bring your A game. Sweet, let's get into it.
Starting point is 00:04:15 Obviously got their A games on. Tara, you're the lady. Nathan, you're the tradie. Good luck, guys. Here we go. Question number one. The Budget 2023 was released today and neither of us have read it. Who is the current Minister of Finance? Is it Grant Robertson? Lady.
Starting point is 00:04:29 Yes, Tara. Grant Robertson. Nice work. I didn't even need to do the multi-choice. She knows. One to the ladies. Question number two. Keep calm and carry on is the slogan of which nation?
Starting point is 00:04:43 USA, India or Britain? Lady. Yes, Tara. Britain. Great Britain, yeah. A lot of spin-offs have been made with that slogan. A lot of tea towels have been made with that slogan. Yeah, lots.
Starting point is 00:04:57 Two to the ladies, none to the tradies. You need this one here, Nathan, to stop her. Question number three. Buzz in when you can tell me who sings this song. Lady. Yes, Tara, for the win. Billie Eilish. She's got it.
Starting point is 00:05:12 What a pouncing. She's a lady. Oh, oh, oh, she's a lady. God, you are on fire, Tara. Can I just check, Nathan, are you actually there? Are you actually... Nathan! Oh, there he is. He's there. Just chose not to talk. Tara, nice work. $50 cash coming your way. Thank you. I think we need to weigh in
Starting point is 00:05:40 on this situation that I've read about, right? So here's the deal. There's a couple and the guy is asking for advice if he's in the wrong or not, okay? So he says, me and my girlfriend live together and I generally handle all the bills. We split everything down the middle, but I get the mail, make sure they're paid on time and do all that stuff.
Starting point is 00:06:03 Get the mail? No, you don't get credit for getting the mail. Well, he pays the bills. He pays the bills, make sure they're paid on time and do all that stuff. Get the mail? No, you don't get credit for getting the mail. Well, he pays the bills. He pays the bills. Okay. Not he pays the bills, but he pays the bills. He makes sure the bills are paid. Yes, that's it.
Starting point is 00:06:15 Yeah, gotcha. And he goes on to say, I just let her know how much the bills are and she pays me half at the end of the month. Anyways, I started telling her the total of the bill was an extra three to five percent higher than it actually is. I figured places charge a service fee for a credit card as it's a convenience. So it makes sense to me to do that as I'm doing all the work. She found out about this after a year
Starting point is 00:06:45 and is demanding I pay back the extra money. Moron. So he's charging her a service fee for him taking care of the bills and paying the bills. If her split of the power bill for the month is $100, he's charging her an extra $3 to $5 on top. It goes into his pocket. Or comes off his part of the power bill.
Starting point is 00:07:09 His logic is so cooked. It's a part of the service. His logic is like, businesses charge you a 3-5% surcharge. That's because businesses are looking to make money out of you. That's why businesses exist. It's like if she was to
Starting point is 00:07:24 do the cooking, she goes, oh sorry, it's like... That's why businesses exist. It's like if she was to do, you know, the cooking, she goes, oh, sorry, there's a public holiday surcharge today, so you're going to have to pay a few bucks extra. We joke, but it's a slippery slope because the minute you start being like, you start accounting for everything that you do within a relationship. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:46 You know? That to me screams cheap. Yeah, he's cheap. You know what I mean? Stop being cheap. It's your girlfriend, you know? It's not like a patron that's coming for your service. And you know how I know that he knows that he was in the wrong?
Starting point is 00:08:02 Yeah. Because he kept it a secret. Yeah, exactly. If you didn't think it was like a bad thing, then you would have just been open about it. He knew. He knew. He's an a-hole.
Starting point is 00:08:13 Why would you ask the internet for clarification? Anyway, he's getting roasted. He's getting absolutely roasted online. Yeah. Being like, what are you up to? I thought we could ask people this afternoon. Sorry, sorry, sorry. Wait, sorry, sorry.
Starting point is 00:08:29 Once you've set up the direct debits, the bills come out automatically. He's not even doing anything. Yeah. Are you living in the 60s where you have to write bank checks? Is he going to the post office to pay these bills in person? Who knows? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:44 Who knows? I thought we could ask people, do you have a partner that is quite cheap? Yeah. Or did you? Or did you? Did you used to date someone that was quite cheap? And what were the different characteristics and things that they did that you thought deemed them cheap? Yeah. things that they did that you thought deemed them cheap. I remember vividly growing up, my mum yelling at my dad,
Starting point is 00:09:08 telling him to stop watering down the orange juice. We can tell. We can tell. That's a dad thing. We used to get the boxes of Just Juice concentrate, which one box made up a litre of juice. And when it got to 50%, dad would top the rest up with water. Because then no one wants to drink that anymore.
Starting point is 00:09:27 Yeah, Dad also got caught topping up the mouthwash. Oh, yeah. You can get away with that. With water. To be honest, I didn't mind that. It was too burny for my mouth, so it's quite nice. Yeah, no, it's quite nice. But the juice, Dad, we have not forgotten.
Starting point is 00:09:38 My dad was just cheap about having lights on in the house and, like, real, real like strict on it. Yeah. Dads, if you're listening, lights cost almost nothing. My dad would be like, who bloody lives in this house? There's no one in this room.
Starting point is 00:09:54 There's no one in this room. Why are the lights on? Oh, 800. Dial ZM. Or you can text us on 9696. Did you date or are you currently dating a partner that's a bit cheap? We could do a whole topic on cheap dads as well. We could. But that's not now.
Starting point is 00:10:10 This is about your partner, okay? Lee's here. Hi, Lee. Hi, Lee. Hey, guys. Have you dated someone that was a bit cheap, Lee? Yeah, my ex-partner was a complete tight ass, which you'd think in the gay community would be a positive thing, but it wasn't.
Starting point is 00:10:27 Lee, you dirty little... Lee, did you date a tight end, did you? Played a bit of NFL? Tell us about Scrooge. What was it? He kept a spreadsheet of every single expense. Like, if we went for coffee, he'd be like, oh, you owe me an extra 50 cents or whatever
Starting point is 00:10:46 because you've got oat milk. Or if he drove his car to the cafe, he'd calculate the kilometres and add that to the spreadsheet of how much petrol I owed him for the trip. Ollie, please tell me that this relationship didn't last long. No, it didn't. Was he an accountant? No, just a complete pain in the ass.
Starting point is 00:11:05 Oh, don't, hey, don't lump accountants into that category. No, no, no, that's how accountants operate, though. They are bean counters by nature. So I'm just thinking maybe it spilled over into his dating life. If you're calculating the kilometres, that's when it, oh, jeez, that's bad. Yeah. Oh, Lee, you poor bugger. He would have been the sort of person who would search out the price of the birthday present that you gave him,
Starting point is 00:11:27 and then he would make sure that he bought you a present of equal value. The exact same. To the exact same amount. Yeah. All right. Thanks, Lee. We appreciate that. Thanks, Lee.
Starting point is 00:11:36 Let's talk to Emma. Hey, Emma. Hi, Emma. Hi. Tell us, are you still dating them, or is it an ex that was cheap? I'm still dating them. Oh, excellent, Emma. Tell us. Don you still dating them or is it an ex that was cheap? I'm still dating them. Excellent, Emma. Tell us.
Starting point is 00:11:49 What do they do? It can't be that last story. And I'm really super not ungrateful. However, my partner likes to buy his mum these really extravagant flowers, like $70 to $80 bunches for like birthdays, Christmas. Wow. But every time, yeah, which is lovely. That's nice, yep.
Starting point is 00:12:11 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, great, good on him. But every time it comes to like my birthday or Mother's Day or whatever, I get like a, you know, one of those little like box flowers. Not cool. From the supermarket with like a little $5. I'm not here for that. Yeah, like a $5 box flowers from the supermarket. I'm not here for that. Yeah, like a $5 box of roses every time.
Starting point is 00:12:31 Like every time. Nah, that's not on, Emma. No. Have you mentioned this to him? I mean, it's a bit of a hard one. It's such a touchy topic because you're dealing with a mummy's boy. Have you said something, Emma? I'm a little bit petty. Good.
Starting point is 00:12:50 So he likes to wear labelled clothes. Last time I bought him something for his birthday, I just bought him a T-shirt from the warehouse. Yes, Emma. He was like, this is not really nice. Thanks. And I was like, oh, yeah, you know. Is it to be supporting it?
Starting point is 00:13:03 I'm like, this is not the way to fix a problem. But I'm really interested here. So Emma's receiving these cheapo flowers and not saying anything about it and returning fire with a cheapo t-shirt and he's not saying anything about it. There's a silent war going on inside your relationship, Emma. And my question to you is,
Starting point is 00:13:19 how are you going to win? Yes, Emma. Do you want us to call him and just like slip it into conversation? Yeah, you Yes. Do you want us to call him and just, like, slip it into conversation? Yeah, you know. Do you want me to send you a really nice bunch of flowers? I would love that. Yeah, and I can sign it from your secret admirer. Secret admirer.
Starting point is 00:13:37 Oh, he would hate that. No, guys, guys, let's not. Oh, that would cause problems. Let's not start World War III. But damn, he needs to fix that. That's a big problem. It's a good story, though. Amanda's here.
Starting point is 00:13:52 G'day, Amanda. Hi, Amanda. Hi, how are you going? Tell us, Amanda, who was the person you dated that was a bit cheap? I'm actually been married to him for about 22 years and he just gets cheaper. He gets cheaper. What does he do? Well, we'll be
Starting point is 00:14:08 driving down the road, maybe going on a family holiday or driving to kids sports or whatever and my husband will basically do like a massive handbrakey on the road just to pull over to go grab some like a bit of clothing on the side of the road. Oh no. He's a magpie.
Starting point is 00:14:24 And he's done a complete wecker. He will, his favourite, the favourite things he loves to find is glasses. And there's one pair of glasses he found on the side of the road and he pulled over, he grabbed them and he wore them all holidays and they were like, he looked like a complete pitiful. Oh, like sunglasses. And the kids were like screaming and like, don't wear the glasses, Dad. Please don't wear the glasses.
Starting point is 00:14:46 They're awful. He goes, have you seen the lenses in them? Did he not have a pair of sunglasses for the holiday? No, no. I mean, if you buy him a really nice pair, he'll still go back to the ones he found. You've got to look at it from his perspective. He would have just thought this was the greatest find of all time.
Starting point is 00:15:02 He's going on holiday and some sunglasses just showed up. What are the chances? Come and look at this couch that I picked up from greatest find of all time. He's going on holiday and some sunglasses just showed up. What are the chances? Come and look at this couch that I picked up from the side of the road. There's a bit of blood on it and a few stains but it should clean up real nice, babe. He is so cheap. Like when you walk down
Starting point is 00:15:18 the hallway, down the carpet, he'll ask you to walk on the side so you don't wear it to carpet on you. You know how to pick them, Amanda. That is bloody good. Oh, I love you, Amanda. You poor thing. You poor thing.
Starting point is 00:15:33 You keep trudging on, Amanda. Please welcome to the show National Treasure, Jordan How-To Dad Watson. That is a long middle name, Jordan. Did your parents give you that middle name? Yes. Yes.
Starting point is 00:15:50 One of my great-grandparents is actually from the Asian area and How is a very popular name. Oh, my gosh. Passed down through generations. Through generations to generations. Yeah, great. I hold on to it daily. Guys, this is very exciting because today, this morning,
Starting point is 00:16:09 you, Jordan How To Dad Watson, and you, Clinton Roberts, have launched a new parenting podcast called The Parenting Hangover. Yeah. Our baby's been born. Yeah. And it was right on time. Nine months and popped out just in time. Everything went well.
Starting point is 00:16:27 Was it a natural birth or a C-section? Yeah, I think Clint took quite a few painkillers through the process of recording the first episode. But no, I'd leave my way through it. And we birthed the most beautiful, beautiful podcast you've ever heard. So tell me, guys, what exactly are we going to be getting on the podcast, The Parenting Hangover? That's a good question. Neither of us are claiming to be parenting experts.
Starting point is 00:16:53 Is anyone? No. No one? No, no, no. Some people do. And I think that's why there's a reason for a podcast like this to exist. This is more just a place to spill our guts and talk to each other about what's
Starting point is 00:17:08 going on. Have a whinge. But also a place to put all our annoying kid conversations because you'll find people with children don't really care about your kid stories. So if you package it up into a podcast for people with kids, it's much more, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:17:23 Palatable. Palatable, right, Jordan? That's why people start separate Instagram accounts for their kid content or their dog content. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Same thing. I thought because you guys are doing a dad podcast together, I thought I could quiz you guys with a dad quiz. Yeah, easy, easy.
Starting point is 00:17:39 Professional. Professional dads. One time a kid made me a certificate, number one in dadding, so I'm ready. Okay, cool. Let's kick it off, the dad quiz. It's a pretty simple quiz this afternoon, fellas. I'm going to quiz you because you are doing a podcast together about parenting, about your kids. So I'm going to test you to see how much you know about each other's kids.
Starting point is 00:18:02 Oh, okay. All right? Got it? Okay, first question. Oh, okay. All right? Got it? Okay, first question. Clint, how many kids does Jordan have? Three girls. That's correct. That's correct.
Starting point is 00:18:13 Ding. Ding. And Jordan, how many kids does Clint have? Two that the public are aware of. Two that I'm aware of. Two girls as well. That's a lot of girls between you guys. He's got quite a few secret ones around the place.
Starting point is 00:18:30 All right. We talked about that in episode three. All right. Good. I can't wait to tune in for that. All right. Clint, what are Jordan's kids' names? Oh, I spent the morning learning this as well.
Starting point is 00:18:41 Did you? Perfect. Mila. Yes. Elba. And Nala. That is correct. It's pretty easy.
Starting point is 00:18:50 Yeah. We've seen a lot of Nala on your socials. She's hilarious. Jordan, what are Clint's kids' names? There's Tui and there's Maggie. Nice. He saved it. He saved it. What about Gavin? Oh, yeah, Gavin. We don't use it. He saved it. What about Gavin?
Starting point is 00:19:06 Oh, yeah, Gavin. We don't use it. Episode three, we talk about Gavin. Oh, yeah, we haven't revealed Gavin to the world yet. Sorry, Gavin, if you're listening, you're still a secret for another couple of weeks. All right, my last question in the dad quiz. What is the hardest thing about being a dad, Clint?
Starting point is 00:19:22 Uh, ooh. Uh, learning. Not being able to answer simple questions. Learning to love your dad bods. Yay! I love dad bods. Dad bods are hot. What about you, Jordan? Hardest thing about being a dad?
Starting point is 00:19:39 Lower back pain. I already feel that one. I feel that one deep in my lower back. Do we win the quiz or feel like we won the quiz? I think you win the quiz. Three from three. Nice work. Podcast is out.
Starting point is 00:19:54 You can get it on iHeartRadio and everywhere you get a podcast. And we've actually got a bribe as well, Brie. Oh, yes. If you subscribe to the podcast on any platform and you go and follow the Parenting Hangover Instagram page at The Parenting Hangover, we're giving away a Samsung 55-inch OLED TV worth seven grand.
Starting point is 00:20:12 Jordan, how big's your TV? Oh, yeah, pretty big, mate. Not as big as that one, though, mate. I could probably, you know, sometimes, but it depends who I'm talking to, eh? We'll take your word for it. Jordan Watson, How To Dad. See you on the podcast, man. See you on the podcasts.
Starting point is 00:20:27 Yeah, see you, mate. See you, mate. Tune in, listen up. Yeah, what? Podcast. Such a dad sign. Bree and Clint. ZM Bree and Clint.
Starting point is 00:20:43 Brand new Calvin Harris and Ellie Goulding. It's called Miracle. I don't know if you were listening to us two days ago, but it's got strong DJ Alligator vibes for me. Blow my whistle, baby. Oh, yeah. Let's get this back on the air. And I want to suck on your lollipop.
Starting point is 00:20:58 Let's do a back-to-back DJ Alligator mix. We'll probably do some new music from Darude as well if we're going full trance, you know? Yeah, why not? Hang on. Let's speak it. I mean, God, he had talent, didn't he? God.
Starting point is 00:21:15 He just oozed talent. There's some 45-year-olds right now having flashbacks. They're like, oh, shit. I'm back at the blue light just going. Oh, my God, I'm back in the club. Oh, my God, oh, my God, my god oh my god that was a good time uh i received uh an inbox on my personal instagram this week and it was from a woman named claire and i've received messages from claire before back in 2021 just to be clear just to be clear um, back in 2021, she messaged me and she said,
Starting point is 00:21:46 hi, my daughter Emily is turning 11. We're having a birthday party for her. Could you come and play the clown? Well, I mean, depends how much it's paying. But Claire said her daughter Emily is a huge Treasure Island fan. Oh, cool. They're having a celebrity Treasure Island themed birthday party. Yeah. And they're having a Celebrity Treasure Island themed birthday party. Yeah. She wanted to know if you had made him a claims contact. No, she actually asked me to film a video for her to play at the party. Nice.
Starting point is 00:22:15 And then I received another message from Claire this week saying that her son Lockie is turning 11 this year. Okay, yeah. And can I do a video for his birthday party? Because he wants a Celebrity Treasure Island themed birthday party as well. And at this point, did you redirect them to your Cameo account? I don't have to. Where you go, you can have whatever video you want for just $99.
Starting point is 00:22:36 I would never charge people. I would never charge them. So I sent through the video, happy to do it. But it's quite interesting that that theme is a theme for a birthday party. I mean, I love it. Yeah, me too. I love it. They'd have challenges.
Starting point is 00:22:54 Yeah, it's an easy one to do. Yeah, there'd be a buried treasure that they have to find and they could divide them into teams. They could make them sleep outside. Or you don't have to feed them. You don't have to feed them, You don't have to feed them. Even better. I mean, pretty easy menu, rice and beans for everyone.
Starting point is 00:23:09 Love it. You know? It got me thinking about... In a Tim Tam if they're well behaved. Yeah, if they're well behaved. Got me thinking about different themed birthday parties or parties that I've been to. Yep.
Starting point is 00:23:21 And, I mean, sometimes the theme I really love and then other times I dread the theme a bit. Have you ever been to a really cool themed party? Yes, yes but I can't answer any questions about it. Why? The theme was bad taste and let's just say
Starting point is 00:23:39 people within our friend group were very creative. When it's coriander? Yeah. I mean not for me, I love coriander but it was like a no social our friend group were very creative. When is coriander? Yeah. I mean, not for me. I love coriander, but. It was like a no social media from this party, please. Oh, that's risky. That is risky.
Starting point is 00:23:54 I'll turn the mic off and tell you one. Okay. Okay. Tell me one. Okay. That is not okay. I don't think I'm on board with that. See?
Starting point is 00:24:05 No wonder there was no phones. No wonder there was no phones. I went to a theme party once and it was famous duos and it was quite interesting to see what people went as. Yeah. Like someone went as Tom Hanks from Castaway and their partner went as the volleyball. Yeah, love that.
Starting point is 00:24:28 It was good. Yeah, that's a good one. It was pretty good. What else would you do? You would do, oh. Me and my friend. The Veronicas. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:38 Lisa and Jessica from the Veronicas. Yeah. Yeah. Peanut butter and jelly. Oh, that's good. You know, you could do anything. Yeah. Crocs and socks. Which is, I mean, famous duos and jelly. Oh, that's good. You know, you could do anything. Yeah. Crocs and socks.
Starting point is 00:24:45 Which is, I mean, famous duo is not very creative, not very unique. That's why I want to ask people. Also, it's hard because you have to have someone to take to the party with you. Yeah. What's Nigel Nomate's going to go as? What if you're single? Me and my friend went together and I went as a lamp. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:01 And he went as the guy from Anchorman that always says that he loves lamp. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. If you didn't have anyone to go with, you could go WWF, WWE, and you could go as The Rock and say that you've come with John Cena. Oh, yeah. I like that. That's good. That's smart.
Starting point is 00:25:17 If you know, you know. That's smart. I reckon we get some ideas for some unique theme parties people have been to. 0800-DIAL-ZM, or you can text us on 9696. can we get some ideas for some unique theme parties people have been to? Mm-hmm. 0800 dial ZM or you can text us or 9696. It might be a kid's party. It might be any type of party. It doesn't need to be a birthday party.
Starting point is 00:25:35 Work Christmas party. Oh, yeah. What about a really off theme for your work Christmas party? Dead celebrities? Yeah. Yeah. Like that's an unusual themed party, isn't it? I'd enjoy going to a Dead Celebrities party.
Starting point is 00:25:49 It'd be quite fun. There's definitely a line, but I reckon that'd be a good party. Who would you go as? I'd go as Elvis. Would you? Just because it's easy. Yeah, okay. I was going to say Elvis too. I'd go as Fat Elvis.
Starting point is 00:26:01 Yeah, I'd go as... Yeah, because that'd be fun. I'd go as Hot Elvis. I don't know. Go say what you wanted to say. No, I can't as... Yeah, because that'd be fun. I'd go as Hot Elvis. I don't know. Go, say what you wanted to say. No, I can't say what I wanted to say. No. I'll turn the microphone off and say it.
Starting point is 00:26:12 I'd go as... Yeah. Oh. Yeah, probably not. Probably not. Let's start with Tracy and see what we get. Hi, Trace. Hi, Tracy.
Starting point is 00:26:23 Hi, guys. How are you? Good, thanks. Did you go to a unique themed party, Tracey? It was my own 30th birthday. Oh, interesting. So big one for you. It was.
Starting point is 00:26:35 I was actually pregnant at the time. Okay. Unfortunately. Please tell me, Tracey, you made it a pregnant themed party so everyone had to be pregnant? Oh. I made it a pregnant theme party, so everyone had to be pregnant? Oh. I made it a tea party, so everyone had to come dressed in something starting with T.
Starting point is 00:26:50 Oh, because your name's Tracy. Yeah. Oh, I thought because you had to drink tea, so everyone else had to drink tea. I was like, Trace. Come on, Tracy. What a fun suck. What did people go as, Tracy?
Starting point is 00:27:03 So I went as a traffic light. Yeah. And I had lights moving. And my partner, we dressed him up as a terrorist. Oh, jeez. Yeah, okay. Oh, no. And we had Tahitian dancers.
Starting point is 00:27:18 And we had my auntie dressed up as me being pregnant. Yeah. Oh, that's good. She drank all the alcohol for me. Nice. She was a me being pregnant. Yeah. Oh, that's good. She drank all the alcohol for me. Nice. She was a drunk pregnant lady. Yeah. All right, Trace, you just survived that one.
Starting point is 00:27:33 Thank you very much. This text is wild. It says, I want to stay anonymous, please, but I went to a 35th birthday party where we had to dress in David Bain woolly jerseys. It was all good fun until someone found a photo of him dressed in the exact same jersey I was wearing. I had picked up that jersey at a second-hand store.
Starting point is 00:27:56 Kind of freaked me out. There's no way you were wearing the actual David Bain jersey. Surely that thing is in a police storage locker somewhere. Surely there's no way you were wearing the actual David Bain jersey. Surely that thing is in a police storage locker somewhere. Surely there's no chance. Surely. Well, I mean, there is a chance, but surely not. I saw him at the traffic lights once. Did you?
Starting point is 00:28:14 Freaked the shit out of me. Where? The traffic lights where? Just, where was I? I was in Hamilton and I was pulled up at the traffic lights. Are you sure it was him? Well, sure enough that I got scared. You're like nah it was definitely him. Well he wasn't
Starting point is 00:28:27 wearing the jersey or anything but you know I'm pretty sure it was him. Someone texted her and said I had a high school musical dress up party for my 25th. My partner and I were Troy and Gabriella and had three outfit changes for each movie. That was you wasn't it Katie? That was me.
Starting point is 00:28:44 That is brilliant, Katie. Was everybody else as into High School Musical as you were? Yeah, they actually were, to be honest. We had a couple that came and did, you know, that in the first movie where they do that, like, that dance, I call it, into the couple. There was a skater boy and a other person. Oh, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:07 To be honest, who cares how into it they were? It's your party. Yeah. So do whatever you want. Hey, Katie, were people banned from being Troy and Gabriella? Like, were you guys the only Troy and Gabriella? We actually were, but we didn't ban it. Should have been. Or maybe it's just etiquette you just know.
Starting point is 00:29:21 It's like how you don't go as a bride or groom to a wedding. Exactly. You know, you leave that for the party, the party girl. I went to a party. I just remembered it was someone's 18th, and it was a black dress theme party, so you had to wear black. I thought you were going to say blackface. No.
Starting point is 00:29:39 So you had to go in black clothes, and then she wore a bright red dress. Oh, so she stood out. Yeah. Yeah, I love that. Penny's on the phone with us. Hey, Penny. Hi, Penny. Hi.
Starting point is 00:29:50 Tell us, Penny, what was the unique theme party you went to? It was ABC party, anything but clothes. Wait, so what did people wear, like a tent? There was some pretty imaginity sort of clothing. Silage cover. Clean, obviously. A silage cover? Yeah, like black and white.
Starting point is 00:30:12 It was a full formal ball dress sort of. Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What else? Some frost cloth. Just full body roll of frost cloth. What's frost cloth? You know, like when you've got, like, in your garden, you put it over your plants.
Starting point is 00:30:27 Oh, okay. That's kind of see-through. That's kind of sexy. And what else? Someone had put together an entire outfit of stuffed animals. Amazing. Okay, that's good. Did anyone wear a meat dress? No, but
Starting point is 00:30:43 it was suggested. What did you wear, Penny? I was the silage cover, the black and white dress. Yes, Penny. But I taped myself into it. So I'm not sure if you've ever worn one of those before, but it's quite sticky and very
Starting point is 00:30:57 hard to use the facilities. Yeah. And when to get there, I had to lie across the back seat of a car because it didn't bend so well either. We wear silage covers all the time. And no need to go to the toilet Penny because you're wearing a silage cover.
Starting point is 00:31:14 You are toilet. You are the toilet. Very good. Thank you Penny. Two separate dad stories. So it's these two dads and they've attended I don't know if it was these two dads and they've attended, I don't know if it was the same concert, but they've attended the Taylor Swift concert.
Starting point is 00:31:29 Okay. So the first one is a real feel good one because it's a video of a dad who's at the Taylor Swift concert. With his daughter or son? I don't think so. Oh, solo. So he is messaging someone and someone has filmed his phone as he's messaging.
Starting point is 00:31:49 Okay. I think he might be messaging his wife. Yeah. Anyway, he pretty much is texting his wife saying how amazing the concert is and that it's the best thing that he's ever seen. He's completely blown away and they need to bring their daughters to the concert. That's so cute. I'm looking at it now.
Starting point is 00:32:07 He has the largest font on his phone I've ever seen. He's definitely a dad. Yeah, definitely. Probably an older dad. Definitely a dad. But just absolutely fizzing for the Taylor concert. Yeah. The second TikTok that's going viral is of a dad again Googling something on his phone during the Taylor Swift concert.
Starting point is 00:32:28 Okay. Right? Yeah. So apparently this guy was with his wife and his daughter and they were attending the Taylor concert. And this is what he was Googling. This is what was on his phone and someone has filmed him over his shoulder. Googling, all right. What time does the Taylor Swift concert end?
Starting point is 00:32:48 You might... And then it says, how long does this concert go for? I've just seen it on the screen. It says three hours. Yeah. Oh, poor dad. And then it gives him the information that she performs 44 songs and it goes for three hours.
Starting point is 00:33:08 Everyone else, they're like, three hours. Yas. That dad, three hours. Are you kidding me? That's incredible from Taylor Swift that she, no one does a three-hour concert, can I say. It's incredibly long. It's a very long concert, but I mean, you get your money's worth.
Starting point is 00:33:23 My favourite one I've seen recently is the guy who did this TikTok. Remember the guy who walked up to the camera? Oh yeah. He's at the show on the floor. So good. And he times it perfectly. He's given his phone to someone and he walks out into the aisle and he does the...
Starting point is 00:33:44 Knowing Taylor Swift's marketing team, they probably invited him out and made him do it at the concert. He's probably right. Don't ruin the magic. Yes, producer Ella? You know, in 22, when she sings that song, she'll give her hat to a fan and security will be the fan. They chose him.
Starting point is 00:34:03 And so she acknowledged it, did the dance with him. Because he does it with a hat on, doesn't he? Yeah, well, he takes her hat. Coincidence. Cute, eh? I think not. But very smart. Are you scared of AI?
Starting point is 00:34:17 Like, does it scare you? Yeah, a little bit. Yeah. Like, there's people that are leaving Google and stuff because they're like, I'm scared. Yeah, so the guy who invented ChatGPT has gone to the US government and said, hey, I need your help to regulate this thing.
Starting point is 00:34:34 I watched this documentary the other night about AI and what was it called? The doco's called iRobot and it's where one of the AI robots goes rogue. Yeah, I was watching... And gets too smart for its own good and tries to take over the world. I was watching a similar documentary called Bicentennial Man. Yeah, scary, eh?
Starting point is 00:34:56 Yeah. This is real. Tom Hanks of Forrest Gump fame. To headline who Forrest Gump is. Because we've got people like Ella. She doesn't know who Tom Hanks is. She knows who Tom Hanks is. She does now because I said he was from Forrest Gump.
Starting point is 00:35:11 No, I know him. Where do you know I'm from? Forrest Gump. Yeah, there you go. What's one other movie? Sully. Nice, Ella. See?
Starting point is 00:35:20 Well done. That's a point for you. Nice work. He's done a podcast and he's revealed that he believes AI means that there is a genuine possibility he could keep appearing in movies after he's dead. I mean, well, that is a possibility. He said there is a bona fide possibility right now that if he wanted to,
Starting point is 00:35:40 he could get together and pitch a series of seven movies that would star him. And in those movies, he would be 32 years old. So it's not even him right now. And they could release those movies from now until whenever. He thinks a lot of himself, doesn't he? He's like, people will still want movies of me. I've got an idea for you guys. Big 2.
Starting point is 00:36:04 Yep, do it with AI. I'm 17 again. We could call it XXL. Yeah, you could call it XXL. There's massive discussions going on in Hollywood at the moment about how they protect an actor's
Starting point is 00:36:20 it's called likeness, which is their face, their image and their voice because no one knows what's coming with AI and no one even knows what is possible yet. Well, people keep talking about AI and have you seen those videos of Britney Spears where you can kind of see where her face is like, obviously not her face and they've put like an AI face on?
Starting point is 00:36:41 Yeah, in the green screen bits. It's real creepy. Like I've seen it on TikTok where they're saying that the videos of Britney aren't actually Britney. Which makes you go, what is going on there? Yeah. This AI thing that Tom Hanks is talking about means that if Paul Walker's family allowed it,
Starting point is 00:36:57 he could appear in one last Fast and the Furious movie. Yeah, right. That's true. Britney Murphy could do a Clueless sequel. Bruce Lee could do another martial arts film The new Harry Potter TV series could have the Dumbledore That everybody knows and loves The possibilities are endless And Hagrid
Starting point is 00:37:17 Yeah, anybody And Snape Anybody where there is enough catalogue footage of them That you can feed it into the computer, they can do anything. They can do absolutely anything. It's scary. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:30 See, I don't know if I want all that stuff. No, no, no. No, I don't want it either. No, who asked for it? I don't want it. I don't want to hear the AI music and what AI movie has created. Like, I don't want it.
Starting point is 00:37:44 Except for that Drake song. No! That Drake and the Weekend song. That slap. That was such a good, that was the best Drake song that's come out in ages. That's very good. If Drake is listening right now,
Starting point is 00:37:56 I do apologise for him. I apologise, Drake. I don't. It's very rude. Call up. We'll argue about it, Drake. Bree and Clint. Time for a birthday banger. Bree and Clint.. Bree and Clint. Time for a birthday banger.
Starting point is 00:38:05 Bree and Clint. All I want for my birthday is a birthday banger. Sorry, bear with us. Having a few technical difficulties, but we press on. We can't stop, won't stop. We soldier on. If we have to sing the goddamn birthday banger ourself, we will. No, that's where I draw the line.

You'll be having a tui when you get home then, won't you? Dare I say, I used to work there and still don't drink the stuff. Fresh from the brewery. Jax is like, how dare you?

Starting point is 00:42:38 Well I'm actually from Palmerston North So we'll stick with West Auckland Oh Gotcha Oh, gotcha. There's a story gaining traction around the globe at the moment, Clint, because people have different opinions on this one, okay? Shock, horror, there's different opinions.
Starting point is 00:43:06 Shock, horror, we're divided. Who would have thought? There's a woman who has refused to pay for a $200 bottle of perfume that her four-year-old broke. Okay. So here's the situation. A friend of this woman offered to babysit or look after the four-year-old for a friend. And she did it at her house. Okay.
Starting point is 00:43:30 Yep. And anyway. At the friend's house. At the friend's house. Yeah. The four-year-old came over to the friend's house. She was looking after her. And.
Starting point is 00:43:38 Get the kid on foreign soil. Yeah. Unnerve them. Exactly. Show them who's boss. So the kid has gone to the bathroom and whilst in the bathroom she's done her business
Starting point is 00:43:49 and then she's went through the cabinets. Yeah. And she's found a $200 bottle of Chanel perfume. Oh nice. And she's dropped it and it's smashed. Have you ever smashed a bottle of perfume before? Yes. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:44:05 You can never get the smell out. Yeah. I mean, at least it smells good. At least it smells good. But it's full on. But you're so sick of that smell after a while. Yeah, it's pretty full on. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:14 Anyway, the woman told the mum about it and said, can you reimburse me for this? Your daughter broke my perfume. Yeah, that's fair. And the mum said, nah. And people are divided about it. How can they be divided about it?
Starting point is 00:44:31 Most people are on the friend's side. Yeah. But there's some people on the mum's side saying that the four-year-old should have been supervised. In the bathroom. And that's what people are saying. In the bathroom? She's four. Yeah. She knows what she's doing in the bathroom. And that's what people are saying. In the bathroom. She's four. Yeah. She knows what she's doing in the bathroom.
Starting point is 00:44:47 But four? My two-year-old takes herself to the toilet. Yeah. She didn't need to be supervised. Well, she didn't get told. The friend thought that it would be fine and it wasn't. Nah. The people who are siding with the mum Their kid's broken something. I reckon their kid has broken something recently
Starting point is 00:45:05 or they're just they're just like anarchists they're like nah screw this woman she broke her perfume was she getting paid for the babysitting it doesn't say because it doesn't really change it but it kind of like
Starting point is 00:45:18 I don't think it changes it someone has commented on the story with their story that's similar and it said that this was a friendship destroying situation. This has the potential to be a friendship destroyer, this one. Yeah, it can
Starting point is 00:45:35 become real awkward, can't it? But anyway, similar story. Friend was looking after a couple of kids for their friends and one of the kids threw up on their really expensive couch. Ooh. Anyway. People without kids have the nicest couches.
Starting point is 00:45:51 Yeah, white or cream couches. Yeah, yeah, like velvet. Yeah. Anyway, the friend said, hey, can you pay for my couch to be cleaned? Fair, totally fair. And the parents said no. What are you talking about? And it caused
Starting point is 00:46:06 their friendship to be over. A rug doctor costs like $40 to read. It's not much. It's not much. Anyway, I mean, just the joys, eh? Yeah. If one of my friends, like I'm putting myself in this situation, if one of my friends was doing me a favour
Starting point is 00:46:21 and looking after my kids and one of my kids broke something or did something, I'd be happy to pay. Not even kids. If your dog did it, you'd pay them back? It's the same thing. If you did it, you would pay them back? If you're like, hey, I just took a wee and I smashed your perfume.
Starting point is 00:46:38 Accidentally. Accidentally. But you weren't supervising me in the bathroom, so I don't have to pay you back. Yeah, it doesn't make sense. Yeah. Kids do break things, though, and sometimes it can be a lot worse than a $200 bottle of perfume.
Starting point is 00:46:51 Yeah, it can be way worse than that. I thought we could ask people this afternoon, I weighed 100 dials at him, what did you break as a kid that was real expensive? I've just messaged my mum, because I don't have any memory of breaking anything. Of course you don't. I think I was pretty good, but I've just messaged my mum because I don't have any memory of breaking anything. Of course you don't. I think I was pretty good,
Starting point is 00:47:07 but I've just messaged my mum and I said, hey, did I break anything really expensive as a kid? I'm waiting for her to reply. She's just finishing school. She's a teacher, not a student, you know. Mature age student. Mum's really slow. No, your mum is a delight.
Starting point is 00:47:23 Leave your mum alone. She's currently doing third. She's in year seven. Leave her alone. Let's talk to Ayla. Hi, Ayla. Hi, Ayla. Hi, how are you? Good, thanks. Was it you or another kid you know that broke something expensive? It was me. It was my mum's prescription glasses. Oh, yeah. Can be pricey. Yeah, I hid them.
Starting point is 00:47:47 I don't know why. I just thought it was like a little surprise thing, so I hid them for her in the gutter outside. Good hiding spot, Ayla. Yeah, she'll never think they'd look there. Yeah, well, that was the whole thing, you know? Like, she was never going to find them. The good thing about hiding someone's prescription glasses, too,
Starting point is 00:48:04 is they can't find them. Yeah. It's impossible. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, she's pretty blind, her, so. Remember when Milhouse lost his glasses on The Simpsons? I imagine that's what it's like. Poor Milhouse.
Starting point is 00:48:16 When they smashed them on the Lord of the Flies episode. Yeah. Did you get in trouble, Ayla? I did. I honestly thought nothing of it until I think it was, like, later that night, and I went and showed her where they were, Ayla? I did. I honestly thought nothing of it until I think it was like later that night. And I went and showed her where they were and they were completely smashed in the bottom of the gutter. Oh, well, time for some new glasses, Mum.
Starting point is 00:48:33 Should have gone to Specsavers. This text is wild. They said, hi, guys. My parents had a very expensive limited edition one of a kind Barbie doll locked away in the attic. Wow. They told us multiple times, do not touch it, which only made us want to touch it more. Also, it's a Barbie doll.
Starting point is 00:48:55 I think it was in the box. I know. Yeah. I know, but that's like... You don't show the kids. If they can't touch it, and as soon as you tell a kid, don't touch it, all you want to do is touch it. It's like telling
Starting point is 00:49:07 Bowdoin Barrett not to touch a rugby ball. It's like, what do you mean don't touch it? That's the thing I want to touch. They said so me being a little SHIT, I waited until my rents were sleeping, went up to the attic, got it out and spent my entire night playing with it. Completely destroyed
Starting point is 00:49:24 the packaging and the doll looked like it had absolutely been through it. That's worthless. My parents were mortified and I was never allowed near a Barbie again. Gutted. You'd be so annoyed. Let's go to Charlie, who's only 12 years old. Hi, Charlie.
Starting point is 00:49:40 Hi, Charlie. Hi. Did you break something expensive, Charlie? Yeah, I did. What did you do, Charlie. Hi. Did you break something expensive, Charlie? Yeah, I did. What did you do, Charlie? I dropped pottery bowls on my mum's windscreen when I was three. Wait, on the windscreen of a car? Yeah, because I was on the deck.
Starting point is 00:49:58 Above the car. Oh, Charlie. Charlie, did you do it on purpose or was it an accident? I think it was on purpose. I think it was on purpose. It's definitely on purpose then. Okay. Do you know why you did it, Charlie?
Starting point is 00:50:20 I was a stupid little three-year-old. I touched things I wasn't used to. Oh, you're only three. You're all right. Oh, I love you, Charlie. That's a good time. Thanks for calling. Yeah, no, I think it was on purpose.
Starting point is 00:50:32 Definitely on accident. How about this one? Speaking of cars, my kid scratched my friend's new Hilux with a rock twice. The first time the panel beaters were able to buff it out, the second time it had to be repainted. Hang on a second. Hiluxes are made to get scratched.
Starting point is 00:50:49 Okay? Who's this person? Not if it's a city Hilux. Who's this person with, yeah, exactly right. It's a bloody city Hilux. Who's this person who wants a pristine Hilux? Do you want to hear an even worse car story than that? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:00 Oh, strap in for this. My aunt and uncle came to our house to show off their new Holden Kingswood Ute camper van. They were taking on their honeymoon. They were inside having a coffee and a yarn and I decided to check it out. Jumped in the driver's seat, knocked the handbrake off, rolled down our driveway backwards, across the road, through a garage and into a house. Camper van was totaled.
Starting point is 00:51:24 Mum and dad had to pay to hire a Maui camper van so they could go on their honeymoon. That'd be so gutted. That'd be so excited. That'd be so excited for their Holden Kingswood camper van. Even though the Maui camper van would have been way more comfortable. It would have been. It's not the point.
Starting point is 00:51:39 But it's not the point. Oh, gutted. Can you imagine how terrified you'd be once the car started rolling? Yeah. Oh. George, one more. be once the car started rolling? Yeah. Oh. George, one more. Welcome to the show. Hi, George.
Starting point is 00:51:49 Hey, mate. Tell us, George, was it you that broke something expensive as a kid? Yeah, it was. I was probably about 11 years old and my father was teaching me how to drive. I didn't really know much about manuals. Yeah, because you were 11. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:09 And I went over the railing and we went down a bank, totaled the whole truck. Wait, you were driving when you were 11? On the road? And you drove off a cliff? Oh, well, I was pretty much at home. Yeah. He was trying to teach me how to drive.
Starting point is 00:52:25 Yeah. Went over a railing and then went down the bank, totaled the whole car. Yeah. Oh, no. It was pretty much wrecked. It was my dad's car and he got about a month before. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:36 Damage. Yeah. Look, I don't feel... Pretty much new. Yeah, I don't feel bad for your dad here, George. I feel bad for you. I feel like that's your dad's fault. Okay?
Starting point is 00:52:44 I don't know how old you are now, but if you've been carrying this guilt with you for your entire life, I think it's time to give it up. I think it's time to put it back on your dad. He set you up for disaster, mate. He set you up for disaster. Disaster it was. Yeah, disaster it was.
Starting point is 00:52:58 It sure was. Thanks for calling, George. Did you see the Rolex text? No. They said, when I was younger, my mum gave me her emerald and gold Rolex to play with while she was getting ready. But I was sitting on the table and I dropped it
Starting point is 00:53:13 and it shattered the entire screen of the glass and everything. Yeah, dumb mum. Hey, kid, entertain yourself with this $12,000 piece of glass. This is why we can't have nice things. Let's talk world records. Yeah. I came across this world record the other day and it blew my mind. And I'd never really thought about it before.
Starting point is 00:53:38 But what is the world record for the most babies birthed by one woman? Yeah, I never thought about it either no i do think about those 19 like 30s women who had 10 12 14 kids i know my nan was one of 12 i think yeah and i just think like popping them out they were just non-stop you would have been baby factories you would have been pregnant for most of your adult life. Most of your fertile life. Yeah. Anyway. Like just constantly. And I always wondered if that's why they
Starting point is 00:54:12 stopped. Like their body just was like, well, you can't have any more. Baby factory. She's like, please, I want to have another baby. Just keep churning out the babies. Please, buddy. God, please have another baby. Well, let's talk about the world record for the most babies birthed by one woman. Her name is Valentina.
Starting point is 00:54:29 Okay. What a nice name. Yeah. Yaselyev. Oh. And she has the record for the most children birthed. Any guesses of how many? So you asked me to text in.
Starting point is 00:54:44 Yes. Was anybody even close? There was a few people that were actually on the money. I feel like they were. No, wait, let me look. Two people that were on the money. Is it more than 20? It's more than 20.
Starting point is 00:54:56 Is it more than 30? It's more than 30. Is it more than 40 kids? It's more than 40 children. Oh. One woman. One woman. One womb, one dream.
Starting point is 00:55:09 One Jaina. How many kids? I believe Valentina has birthed 45 children and holds the world record. Because that's an incredible amount of people. I will, I can tell you that in amongst all of the children, Valentina birthed 16 pairs of twins. Yeah. So that's, oh, I can't do that.
Starting point is 00:55:37 Seven triplets. Right. And four quadruplets. For a total. Okay, so she's over 60. And world record of 69 children. Nice. Number of children, Valentina.
Starting point is 00:55:56 69 children. That's mental. That is wild. All to the same man? I don't know. I'm not sure. It was a long time ago. Does it say the time span?
Starting point is 00:56:12 Like do we know what the eldest and the youngest is? It doesn't. It doesn't say. But 69 children? Like how? To be honest, the first thing that I think about is that's incredible that one woman's body was able to endure that many births. Not just endure, produce.
Starting point is 00:56:32 Produce. Like she has grown 69 babies in her stomach. I don't want to reduce the miracle of childbirth down too much or child creation, but you think about soil and like how much food it can produce. Eventually, there's no nutrients left to generate. She must be on the bloody. She must be the most fertile woman ever.
Starting point is 00:56:54 She must have the best multivitamin you've ever seen. She must. She must be taking the B12s. She'd be on the healtheries. She's taken every B supplement up to like 100 million. The thing that I also think about is imagine trying to pick 69 names. No, you wouldn't. None of the kids would have middle names.
Starting point is 00:57:18 You wouldn't know their names. I don't know 69 people. Imagine Christmas time. Nah. Imagine when they start having kids and you're like, oh shit, I have to learn their names as well. Why do I have all these goddamn kids? Just dinner time? I just can't
Starting point is 00:57:36 even fathom. Pretty amazing. Well, if you get 69 congratulations, you win. Yeah. We got news today that our producer Cla Claude, is going to a Shrek-themed party. And then I saw her face. Where you dress as one of the characters from Shrek.
Starting point is 00:57:55 I mean, there's so many great characters to go as. Claudia said, if I can't go as someone awesome, I'm not going. I think that's fair enough, Claude. I think that's fair enough. So right now we're going to brainstorm the characters you could go to for your shriek party. I'll write this down. What are you leaning towards? I really want to be the
Starting point is 00:58:13 ugly stepsister who works at the bar. That's real niche. Yeah. Real niche. I feel like she's a niche character person. Yeah. You could go as old woman. Who's old woman? You know, old woman.
Starting point is 00:58:27 She has a real small part. Oh yeah, old woman. She's literally called old woman. Yeah, she's called old woman.
Starting point is 00:58:33 Who's old woman? Played by Kathleen Freeman. Yeah. You could go as her. You could go as, oh, the three little pigs. Do you have two friends?
Starting point is 00:58:42 No, I don't. Can't do the three blind mice either. Well, you could go as one of them. True. That's the thing. pigs. Do you have two friends? No, I don't. Can't do the three blind mice either. Well, you could go as one of them. True. That's the thing. Yeah. Any other near the top of your list?
Starting point is 00:58:52 I want to be Lord Farquaad. I think that's a good one. It's a lot of costume, though. He wears a lot of things. It is a lot of costume. Yeah, and you need a big chin. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:59:05 You could put a prosthetic on. I think just a real bad wig and a hat would do it. Ella, I feel like this is a movie you still watch while you're having dinner, so I feel like you could have some good suggestions for this. Thanks. You know, like mum makes you dinner, sits you down in front of the TV. Oh, right, yeah. Well, I suggest the little dragon donkey baby. I think that's good. That's good. That's quite good, TV. Oh, right, yeah. Well, I suggest the little dragon donkey baby.
Starting point is 00:59:26 I think that's good. That's good. That's quite good, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. See, I really wanted you to go as Puss in Boots. I think that's such a fun one. And you said everyone's going to go as that. I feel like everyone's going to do the sexy Halloween thing
Starting point is 00:59:40 and be like, ooh, I'm a cat. Ooh, I'm wearing boots. Are we missing a beat? Like, is no one going to go as the most obvious character and go as Shrek? I was wondering if I should do that because I don't think a lot of people are going to commit to the bit, you know? Yeah, that's
Starting point is 00:59:54 a lot of commitment to go as Shrek. So maybe I should just either Shrek or Fiona and just paint myself green. The Muffin Man is big on TikTok at the moment. Do you know the Muffin Man? big on TikTok at the moment. Do you know the Muffin Man? Because they've remixed. The Muffin Man.
Starting point is 01:00:09 They've remixed. The Muffin Man. They've remixed Cher's song with the Muffin Man. Have they? Yeah. Oh, I've missed that one. Do you know the Muffin Man? Do you know the Muffin Man?
Starting point is 01:00:21 The other one I was thinking, because I think I maybe have the hair for it, is Prince Charming. Prince Charming. I was just about to say Prince Charming. And some cherry flavoured lip gloss on. You do give off Prince Charming vibes. If you want to not sleep tonight, go onto Google Images and search couples that go as Shrek to parties. The pictures are incredible.
Starting point is 01:00:41 Have you seen the Shrek wedding? That's terrifying. And they paint themselves completely green. Like, it is next. It's next level. Oh, wow. That's commitment. I can paint you green if you want.
Starting point is 01:00:51 Yeah, cool. I'll get out a spray paint. If you've got a good suggestion, an offbeat suggestion of what Claude could go to a Shrek party as, text us 9696. Hit the Shrek music, Claude. I wasn't ready and then I saw her face
Starting point is 01:01:07 our whole computer system is shit itself we're working on we're working on a like a hand signal system at the moment so it is literally like
Starting point is 01:01:18 doing radio in the 1920s but with smash mouth Bree and Clint that is the end of the show 1920s. But with Smash Mouth. Bree and Clint. That is the end of the show, which we just limped towards the finish line as the ZM computer system has exploded, basically. And shit the bed is what it did.
Starting point is 01:01:37 Shit the bed. It's real bad. Like, they have not been able to fix it. We've got technicians in the main studio who are pushing and prodding and poking and they've got torches going and they're trying to fix it. We've got technicians in the main studio who are pushing and prodding and poking and they've got torches going and they're trying to figure it out. And we're in Cam Mansell from the Late Show studio.
