Starting point is 00:00:00 The ZM Podcast Network Hi everybody, welcome to the Brie and Clint Podcast where today's episode is brought to you by this obscure Madonna song that just came into our heads. Yeah. Uh. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:00:22 Oh yeah. Bit daft punk that bit, eh? Bit futuristic. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Bit Daft Punk, that bit, eh? Bit futuristic. Yeah. I like this song. We're just going to let it drop, and then we're going to take it off so we don't get cancelled.
Starting point is 00:00:33 What song is this? Here it comes. Hey, Mr. Oh. No. Hang on, here it comes, here it comes. Surely. Hey, Mr. DJ, put a record on
Starting point is 00:00:47 I wanna dance with my baby And that's all we can play unfortunately Yeah, that's it That was fun I've got something to talk about I watched an incredible show over last week and the weekend And I feel like other people will be watching this show too, but I just wanted to talk about it.
Starting point is 00:01:07 It's called Made. Oh, finished it. Phenomenal show. I've heard good things. And I'll tell you why. One of, I'm not joking, probably in the last five years, I haven't watched a show that I think is more important than the message that this show has in it.
Starting point is 00:01:24 It is so incredibly important. What's the message or is it a spoiler? No, it's not a spoiler. Essentially, the whole show is based around a woman who is going through emotional domestic abuse. Yeah. And covers, I'm pretty sure it's based on a true story and this woman wrote a book about her experience
Starting point is 00:01:46 and then they've turned it into this show. But it's so well done and I think just showcases maybe domestic violence in a different light other than just physical, which is obviously, you know, all in all, but it's great that they've covered this topic and it's done really well and it's so incredibly sad, but I think it's so real that it's such a good message and such a good thing to have out there in the world. It is based on a true story.
Starting point is 00:02:13 Yeah, I thought it was about a woman and she wrote a book about it, right? Made M-A-I-D. Yes, yeah. Fantastic show. I'd recommend. Is anyone else watching Little Fires Everywhere? No, haven't watched that. Amazon Prime.
Starting point is 00:02:26 You've got to get Amazon Prime. But, and I only say that. I don't have anything against Amazon Prime. It's just like another one you have to get. But if you've got it, it's Reese Witherspoon. And it's also hard to watch two Reese Witherspoons at the same time because I'm watching The Morning Show. And she's amazing on that.
Starting point is 00:02:45 But she's also the lead character in Little Fires Everywhere, but very different. But it's set in the 90s. Anyway, you'll love it. It's set in the 90s. 90s soundtrack, 90s fashion, 90s technology, like cordless phones and stuff. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:59 It's the 90s or early 2000s. Do you have corded phones? No, cordless phones. A uniden. Okay, I'm with you. Cordless phones. Ben wasn't alive. My parents still. A uniden. Okay, I'm with you. Cordless phones. Ben wasn't alive. My parents still have a uniden.
Starting point is 00:03:08 In the 90s. I was born in the 93. Did you never have a cordless phone? Remember when we first got our cordless phone? Oh, someone's from a rich family. No, we got it on flybys. Oh, nice. I remember flybys.
Starting point is 00:03:19 And I remember when we got it, I rang my cousin. I was like, tell me when you can't hear me anymore. And I was walking around the backyard. I was like, can you hear me here? And they're like, yeah, I can hear you there. Okay, cool. I'm going to go further. Can you hear me here?
Starting point is 00:03:32 They're like, yeah, I can hear you there. Just testing it out for a scream situation. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think I just loved the versatility of being cordless. You could be anywhere. Yeah, the 90s were freaking awesome, man. I'd go back if I could. Yeah, the 90s were good.
Starting point is 00:03:44 Yeah. I don't really remember them. I was a be anywhere. Yeah, the 90s were fricking awesome, man. I'd go back if I could. Yeah, the 90s were good. Yeah. I don't really remember them. I was a bit young. But, yeah. If anyone remembers them the most, it's you. It would be you, yeah. That story, yeah, didn't resonate with me. He's too young.
Starting point is 00:03:57 He's too youthful. Thank you. Anastasia's like, there was a thing called a home phone? No, my parents still have a home phone Do they? Yeah it's the only way to get hold of them I still remember my parents home phone number Do you know who only calls 6853201
Starting point is 00:04:15 Well careful they're going to call your mum now They don't have a home phone anymore Well my parents only cancelled their home phone this year For the week I stayed at home The only people that call you Are sales people Yes phone this year? For the week, I stayed at home. The only people that call you are sales people. Yes. Really? You should call your parents on the landline every now
Starting point is 00:04:29 and then. Yeah, you should. No, that's the only way to pick them up. Oh, I see. When you're not away, the only one who calls it. Got it. How many phone numbers have you memorized? None recently. This is a good phone good phone i'm putting this down for
Starting point is 00:04:46 tomorrow what numbers are the only ones you have memorized huh just three you got three yeah that's quite a few i regularly call them that's my parents work phone home phone and dad's number yeah wow mine the only one is my mum's. That's the only number I've got. And my parents' old home phone number. All I've got is my parents' old home phone number, which is gone. Oh, shit, I need to go to Chemist Warehouse.
Starting point is 00:05:15 Snooze alarm. My parents' home phone, which is now cancelled. My best friend Adam's cell phone number, but that's only because it was two numbers different to my cell phone number. And my other best friend Callan's Home phone number where he doesn't live anymore So all I think is I probably should memorise
Starting point is 00:05:32 I am mine I probably should memorise more than one Just in case that person in an emergency Doesn't pick up How many do you remember Ben? Mums, dads My old home phone And one of my old best mates, but that'll be gone.
Starting point is 00:05:49 I really want to learn my wife's phone number. Oh, wouldn't that be good? How romantic. I want to, but I have no, not need to, but I don't really ever need to, except when I'm filling out forms and it's like next of kin. You can just go contact to find it. But I just go call my wife.
Starting point is 00:06:05 I had to relearn my own phone number when I moved to New Zealand. That was real weird. Yeah. Because I only ever had my phone number my whole life.
Starting point is 00:06:13 Also you would know the Australian cadence of phone numbers where it's like 04030444 blah blah blah. Yeah it was real confusing. I was like
Starting point is 00:06:20 what's this 027 bullshit? Yeah yeah whereas your numbers to me sound like barcodes. Your phone numbers over there. Are they long? Ten? It's a good idea.
Starting point is 00:06:33 Write that down for tomorrow. And if it's not a good idea, make sure you guys let us know before we record tomorrow. Yes, or else you're not looking out for us. Hey, I've got to go to Kimmer's Warehouse. Can we go? Yes. Yes. See you guys. Have a great night.
Starting point is 00:07:01 Hey, Google. What's the time? It's 3pm. Give or take a minute. Alexa, play ZM on iHeartRadio. Playing ZM on iHeartRadio. Hey Siri, when are Brie and Clint on? Brie and Clint are on air in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Cutty everybody, welcome to the show, it's Brie and Clint. Another week, still here in lockdown.
Starting point is 00:07:25 But, there's an announcement today. At four o'clock. At four o'clock. Will anything happen? You reckon she's going to let us loose? No. Four o'clock. Prime Minister's going to go, you've done such a great job. The Vax is on on the weekend. Brilliant. So much fun. And to reward all of you, I am allowing
Starting point is 00:07:40 bigger picnics. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You can have three bubbles at your picnic now. Oh, we laugh. So Melbourne's lockdown, the world's longest lockdown. This is real. It's the longest lockdown in the world is coming to an end this week. Those poor people won't know what to do once they get out there. Shout out to the Melbournians because I feel like, you know,
Starting point is 00:08:02 they have done it. Some of like the worst out of a lot of people. They've been in and out of these, like, super strict lockdowns. Yeah. I wonder if they're still normal. Ben and I have friends who moved to Melbourne at the end of 2019 to start their new life. Not a good time to move.
Starting point is 00:08:21 And so they have spent basically their whole time in this new country, in this new city, in lockdown. I mean, good on them for sticking it out. I wouldn't have. I would have been on the first flight home and gone, you know what, the OE's not for me. I hope you're all getting to my favourite restaurant, Chin Chin. Hopefully that's opened back up.
Starting point is 00:08:38 Today on the show, we've got two shots at winning the secret sound. We're still at $15,000. Still at $15,000. Still at $15,000. A fresh clue up on the ZM Online Instagram account. But spoiler, you're going to need to know sign language or know someone who can interpret sign language for you because this clue is in sign language. I had an idea about what I think the secret sound is.
Starting point is 00:09:00 Oh, yeah? Should I tell you? I'll play the sound first. The sound. Yeah. You know what I think it the sound first. The sound. Yeah. You know what I think it is? Yeah. You know a pill-like container?
Starting point is 00:09:10 Yeah. You know the ones where it's got a child-proof lock on it? Yes. So you have to, like, press it down and click it? Like a medicine bottle. Yes. Yeah. Like that has pills in it?
Starting point is 00:09:19 Yeah. The ones where, yeah, it's got the child, like, where you have to push down and then turn? Oh, yeah, it could be. That's what I reckon it is. One of the clues, level three, maybe. I don't worry about the clues. You reckon lockdown made you start self-medicating.
Starting point is 00:09:30 That's my advice. Don't worry about the clues. Just go on the sound. Anyway, your next guest is at four o'clock. We'll also bring you the best bits from that press conference at four o'clock. If there's anything you need to know, we'll chop it up and package it up so you don't have to listen to the whole thing, because like we've decided, it's getting a bit boring.
Starting point is 00:09:46 It's getting a bit long. Yeah. I mean, I feel like they're in their 10th season. They should have stopped at nine seasons, you know? Yeah. They've got to start making those four o'clock announcements, TikTok length, you know? Exactly. Connect with the youth.
Starting point is 00:09:58 Something that's not getting boring because the scores are still close is Tradie versus Lady and we've got 50 bucks, all thanks to KFC.

Tonight Tonight you will be Andre the Giant. I want to talk about this story about a couple losing something very, very important. Engagement ring. No.
Starting point is 00:14:04 Attraction to each other. Yeah, well, that is important, especially if you're in a relationship. No, they lost a lottery ticket. No, not just any lottery ticket. A winning lottery ticket. Yeah, well, I assumed you wouldn't be reporting on them losing a losing lottery ticket. Well, you never know. It might have been a bonus ticket.
Starting point is 00:14:24 That's the only thing I seem to win. No, a couple by the name of Martin and Kay Tot realised they had won the multi-million pound prize months after the national lottery draw. Right. About six months, actually. Okay. To be exact.
Starting point is 00:14:45 And it was worth about three million pounds. Okay. How did they not know they won until six months later? Did they not check their tickets? I'm not exactly sure. I think they play every week. Okay. What, they just got a big stack of tickets
Starting point is 00:15:00 and they're like, I'll get around to checking them? Well, it was their numbers. I can't check my tickets soon enough. You know, like I'm trying to check it minutes after the draw. Is that how much you want to get out of here? Yeah, yeah. No, well, I think they play all the time and maybe it just got lost in amongst all the tickets that they buy.
Starting point is 00:15:18 Yeah. Anyway, they knew that they had won because they read something where the lottery commission was looking for the winners and they looked at the numbers and they were like, oh my God, that's our numbers. Those are our numbers, yeah. That must be us. Anyway, they decided, they went in and they said, that's us, we have that ticket.
Starting point is 00:15:41 Yeah, on us, we just can't find it. Until they looked and they couldn't find the ticket. Oh. But, but what they did was is they actually ended up going and seeing if they could have some sort of, you know, where they bought it from, there'd be some sort of record of it. Yeah. Which they found.
Starting point is 00:16:01 Okay. So there was a record of them buying the ticket, but then it was deemed by the National Lottery Commission that lost tickets must be reported within 30 days. So it went to court, they waited it went all through the things and they deemed that they were not to be given the prize. That would rip your undies so hard.
Starting point is 00:16:25 How devastating. Wait, the story gets worse. Oh, good. Yeah, the story. There's no happy ending. Good, good, good, good, good. I was hoping that wasn't the happy ending I was looking for. There's no happy ending.
Starting point is 00:16:34 It gets worse. Anyway, they went through a bunch of different court proceedings and this went on for a number of years where they tried to, you know, get this prize back and it put so much pressure on the marriage that they broke up. And this went on for a number of years where they tried to, you know, get this prize back. And it put so much pressure on the marriage that they broke up. They got a divorce. Wow.
Starting point is 00:16:53 Okay. There is a lesson in this. Yeah. What is it? Don't buy lottery tickets. Nah, do. You've got to buy. That's $42 million this Wednesday.
Starting point is 00:17:02 You've got to buy a lottery ticket. I've bought a lottery ticket since it was how much? $30 million and I haven't won anything. I know what the lesson is. Buy your tickets on the app because then you can't lose the app. How much are you getting paid from the lottery New Zealand people? We're in a negotiation for a $42 million contract actually. I was going to ask people this afternoon, did you lose something super important?
Starting point is 00:17:28 Like, what was it that you lost? And maybe in the story, yours does have a happy ending and you did find it, but what was the super important thing that you lost? Did you misplace Grandma's ashes? Is that what you were thinking? Worst things to lose. Worse than grandma's ashes.
Starting point is 00:17:46 Yeah, because she's still there in spirit, you know, and maybe she wanted to go hide for a bit. Yeah, right. She's just not there in ashes anymore. I'm pretty sure your mum would be pretty pissed off of you if you lost grandma's ashes. But yeah, we can look for other things too. You just go out to the bonfire. No.
Starting point is 00:18:01 And she will never know. You'll know though. 0800 dial ZM or you can text us on 9696 what was the super important thing that you lost grandma would haunt you if you did that i'd be like come at me grandma story of a married couple who won the lottery three million pounds but they didn't realise it. And six months later they did and they said, we've won. And they go, where's the ticket?
Starting point is 00:18:30 And they go, we don't know. And they said, okay, you don't get it then. You don't get the money. And then in the end it drove them so crazy it broke up their relationship. So not only did they lose the money, they lost each other. Exactly. A big story of loss. And no, there's not a happy ending because, you know what, this is real life.
Starting point is 00:18:50 And we're going to ask you this afternoon on 0800DIALSATM, what was the super important thing you lost? Sean's here. Kia ora, Sean. Hi, Sean. Hi, how's it going? What did you lose, Sean? So basically I lost a hard drive with an old project that i'd done for
Starting point is 00:19:08 a client it was a video um and i didn't think i would need it again um i was so so wrong a couple months later they rung me up and were like hey we need a new version of it for Christmas and we needed to re-edit and I had to go then, look, I've lost the whole thing and so I had to go in at no charge to them and re-shoot the whole thing. So, yeah. No, Sean!
Starting point is 00:19:38 How much had they spent on this video in the first place? Well, it wouldn't have been a lot because it was a small project it's one of those things where you run in you shoot it and then you're done it was a running gun type thing did you at least get paid for like the christmas version or that was just on top oh it was they had already paid for that as well so it was we already knew about i hate the cloud but in these situations I feel like
Starting point is 00:20:06 the advice is you should have backed it up to the cloud, Sean. That hurts my soul. You should have put it in the cloud. Can you imagine? He has refilmed the whole thing. Let's talk to someone who wants to remain anonymous. Hi Anonymous, what did you lose? I lost the password and login details to my Bitcoin account.
Starting point is 00:20:23 Wait, I've heard of these stories. Anonymous, give us the details. How much Bitcoin are we talking? I think there was about two and a half or three still in the account and this is going back sort of six or seven years ago when they were about $120 to buy. No, Anonymous.
Starting point is 00:20:40 Are you serious? I'm dead serious. Have you worked out how much it would be worth now? I did a little while ago, but every time I look at how much they're worth now, it just makes me... Let's do it now, shall we? Would you like to know how much your three Bitcoin are currently worth?
Starting point is 00:20:57 Yeah, okay. Okay. I've just done the quick math. Quarter of a million dollars? God damn it. Yeah. Yeah, we shouldn't have looked it up, Anonymous. No, sure.
Starting point is 00:21:10 Ignorance is bliss. Ignorance is bliss. Keeping up to date with the news just became a little easier. As it heralds new podcasts, the front page is your short, sharp daily news podcast. Join me, Damien Venuto, every weekday morning as I chat with journalists and newsmakers going behind the headlines to break down
Starting point is 00:21:30 what you need to know on the biggest news stories of the day. Listen to the front page at nzherald.co.nz slash podcasts and follow us on iHeartRadio or wherever you get your podcasts. Brian Clint. I wanted to catch you up on my weekend. I went to a great party. Did you?
Starting point is 00:21:49 North Shore? How did you know? Yeah, I saw people talking about it. Did you? Yeah. Wait, we had a rule at that party. No one talk about the party. First rule of the North Shore Influencer Party that I was at,
Starting point is 00:22:02 don't talk about the North Shore Influencer Party. I think a few people had a few lemonades and they thought, oh, let's put this on social. That was, going online last night, the topic, right? The whole country was angry at those 50 people who got crunk at a fancy-looking house on the shore. Yeah, the house was super nice. 50 people?
Starting point is 00:22:22 I don't even have 50 people that I know. When lockdown lifts, I won't be able to have a party with 50 people. I don't even have 50 people that I know. When lockdown lifts, I won't be able to have a party with 50 people. No. They did. And the fallout is, I mean, it's all over the place. People are baying for blood. Today, one of the models that was at the party, I'm doing those air quote thingies,
Starting point is 00:22:40 one of the models that was at the party has been dropped from her management company. And that's going to happen if they really are influencers there. Whoever their sponsors are, their dog food brand or their fake tan company are going to go, it's not a great idea to align with you at the moment, unfortunately. It's not a good look. It's not a great look.
Starting point is 00:23:01 People want them locked up for life, but I have been looking into more realistic punishments. Oh, you know what I thought we could do? Yeah. I could go to each one of their houses, obviously, you know, COVID safe. With a mask on. Yeah, with a mask on. In a picnic basket.
Starting point is 00:23:19 When they're not there, they can stay outside and I'll just leave all my dog poo bags around their house. See, that's more realistic. That's something we can do without involving the courts. And hide them in the air vents. Yeah. I saw someone suggest we hit them where it hurts and just ban them from Culture Kings. Looking at the fashion in the videos.
Starting point is 00:23:37 Now you're talking brutal punishment. You know, looking at the fashion of the attendees of the North Shore Influencer Party, I think if you ban them from Culture Kings. That'll really hit them where it hurts. Honestly, that's a fatal blow. That'll be devastating. Someone said remove their Instagram filter privileges. You know how on Instagram story you put like that sparkly hue over the frame?
Starting point is 00:24:00 You're fighting with fire now. Yeah, or like the one which it's called like crema and it makes it look old school. Take away their ability to use filters. Valencia, no more Valencia. Yeah, that would really, like we said, hit them where it hurts. And this is my ultimate punishment, which I think this one will work. Cupcake. No, don't cupcake them.
Starting point is 00:24:21 No, that's not COVID appropriate. Can you imagine everyone that was at that party, a bunch of people just getting cupcake all over. Yeah, okay. Yeah, no, that's what I was going to say. Cupcake. Naughty. Bree and Clint. Time for the latest.
Starting point is 00:24:42 From iHeartRadio. This is the latest. Live from LA with Dean McCarthy. The Secret Sound Activator is minutes away, but Dean, there is breaking engagement news in Hollywood. Yes, very exciting to announce this has just happened actually. Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker are engaged. Now, let me set the scene for you. He really did a great job.
Starting point is 00:25:05 Very romantic. He set up so many red roses, his big floral arrangements all around the beach in Montecito. Now, Montecito is where Oprah lives. That's when you know you're in the right suburb.
Starting point is 00:25:15 That's the place of luck where Oprah lives nearby. So it's really cute. He proposed to her. Apparently, there are friends and family nearby to help celebrate. I don't really know much more than that.
Starting point is 00:25:26 I'm sure in the next hours we'll find out more about who was there and what went down. But, yeah, they were there. They only started dating at the start of this year, but they have been friends for many years. So they're not, you know, new to each other, but it is a relatively new relationship. Well, congratulations to them.
Starting point is 00:25:41 I always said Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker were the real deal. I was like, if there's ever a couple, I thought. You did, actually. Yeah, yeah, I've said it from the start, eh? No, he's never been actually honest, though. It's sarcasm, Dean. It's all sarcasm. No, good for them.
Starting point is 00:25:57 It's very over the top. We're looking at it now. There's probably, oh, what do you reckon, Bree? 10,000 red roses on that beach? Ridiculous. You know, it's unrealistic proposal goals, but, I mean, you can't., Brie? 10,000 red roses on that beach? Ridiculous. You know, it's unrealistic proposal goals, but I mean, you can't. There's camera crews there too. They'll be shooting this for the new season of the TV show, eh, Dean?
Starting point is 00:26:12 Yeah. Yeah. Now when I trace a heart in the sand with a stick, it's not going to look as good. It's the same feeling. Yeah, it'll be on the Hulu show. It'll be all about it. But there you go.
Starting point is 00:26:24 That's breaking news. That's just come out. And that's the latest live out of Los Angeles with Dean McCarthy. The latest is fueled by Pepsi Max. No sugar's given. Bree and Clint. ZM's $50,000 Secret Sound. Season 10.
Starting point is 00:26:42 We're back with more Secret Sound. Guest is Soundkeeper Ella is here. Hi, Ella. Hi, guys. How are you? Yeah, we're good. Did you have a nice weekend? I did.
Starting point is 00:26:50 Had the sister's birthday, so we party hard. Oh, lovely. I've been looking at the... At the North Shore? Yeah. Oh, no, no, no. It wasn't her party. Any influencers present?
Starting point is 00:27:01 Absolutely not. Just been looking at the ZM Online Instagram account and the ZM Secret Sound Instagram account. Both have shared that sign language clue now so that's up there and running. Yes, yeah. A few people not happy that they don't get it but that's the thing. Go talk to anyone who knows sign language.
Starting point is 00:27:18 Can you tell us what it means yet? When are you going to reveal what you're saying in sign language? I'll sit on it. I'll think about it and come back to you tomorrow. I reckon it's something to do not with actually what she's saying in the sign language, but something to do with her using sign language. You think she's not? Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:27:37 You know what I'm saying? I think you're going to suggest that she doesn't know sign language and she was just gesturing something. No, I'm not saying that. But I think people need to think outside the box and I think it's something, the clue is her doing the sign language. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:27:51 That's what I think. Well, here to have a guess is Selena. Hi, Selena. Hi, Selena. Hi. Have you managed to decipher the sign language clue yet? Yeah, I reckon. Oh, God.
Starting point is 00:28:02 That's interesting, Selena. All right, well, keep it to yourself for now. And when you're ready, let us know what you think. This right here, the 2021 ZM Secret Sound is. I reckon it is when you're turning on your TV and you're pressing the power button. Oh. Oh, so you're touching the remote, right?
Starting point is 00:28:23 Do we have a remote in here? Oh, we do. We do, but do you mean that little digital club? I mean the button on the side of the TV. Yeah, right, right, right, right, right, right. Yes. So a physical button, not a rubbery button. The rubber ones don't make any noise.
Starting point is 00:28:37 I was like, ah! No, I get you now, Selena. Okay. We clarified that. Yeah, same. It depends how old your TV is, I guess, too. Yeah.ends how old your TV is I guess too Yeah How old's your TV Selena? Oh I don't know
Starting point is 00:28:51 2018 2018 Oh yeah okay New one New one Yeah And have you been trying To get on all day Selena?
Starting point is 00:28:58 Yeah Since yesterday Today This morning Yep You better be careful Yesterday was Sunday But be careful
Starting point is 00:29:03 45 must falls 45 attempts to get through 45 Get it Well well done for getting on today, this morning. Yep. You better be careful. Well, yesterday was Sunday, but... 45 missed calls. 45 attempts to get through. Get it. Well, well done for getting on. Hello. I'll let you know now. 15K.
Starting point is 00:29:13 It's a lot of money. And you've guessed turning on a TV at the actual TV. Yep. Now, Selena. I'm going to have to be straight up. That is not the secret sound. Oh, got to keep my eye out for Selena. Damn.
Starting point is 00:29:31 Oh, nice. Yeah, call back, Selena. We'll keep an eye out for you. All right. Okay, thank you. We appreciate you. Oh, right. Okay.
Starting point is 00:29:40 What? What are you disappointed at? I can hear that it could be the sound of a button going in and out. I don't know that I can hear a TV in there. That's a thing. This is the back. I've got a couple of guesses, Ella. Go on. My first guess is, you know those pill containers
Starting point is 00:29:56 where you have to press down the lid because it's got the child lock on it? Yeah, I struggle with them. Yeah, well, how old are you? I think that's a guess. And then also, what about sliding the battery component off the back of a remote? Lovely. Cannot confirm, nor deny. Someone can guess that.
Starting point is 00:30:15 No, no one ever takes my guesses. Yeah, that's true. Someone guess it. In fairness, I've never been right. Well, that's true, too. Your next chance to take Bree's guess or use Your Own is coming up at 5 o'clock. Sound Keeper Ella will be back then. And it's thanks to Neon you can get a Kiwi streaming service and get great value all on Neon.
Starting point is 00:30:36 Love Island is up on Neon right now. Started watching it last night. So good. So good. My favourite's Taku. He's so cool. He's so cool. He's so likeable, so charismatic. The Prime Minister is currently speaking about the alert level.
Starting point is 00:30:52 She'll bring you the full update as soon as we've got it. But the early bits out of it is that Northland is going to be moving to alert level two. I'm just having this filtered through from producer Ben. And Waikato are staying at alert level 3 for the foreseeable future is what we have out of that announcement so far but we'll get confirmed details, it's literally happening right now so we'll get the info, nothing for Auckland
Starting point is 00:31:13 just yet. No, nothing on Auckland we will get you those details as soon as... But feel free to cross your fingers for us and toes and butt cheeks Some of us really want to go to Mitre 10. Yeah, it'd be nice. Look, I promised you a job that I feel like people would be interested in. Let me just see if you've got a few prerequisites.
Starting point is 00:31:34 Sure. Do you love napping? Love napping. Do you like watching TV in bed? I don't have a TV in bed, but I love the idea of it. Okay. Do you love fluffy mattresses? Yeah, I do like a soft mattress actually. Okay. Do you like a hard mattress? Not really. You like medium? Yep. Okay, good. Well, you might be a candidate for this because there's a mattress company over in the UK, Crafted Beds, who are looking for
Starting point is 00:32:06 a full-time mattress tester. Oh, right. Okay. Yep. They're going to pay you $47,000 New Zealand dollars per year and all you'll have to do is sleep in their beds. Damn, that's a good deal. How good is that?
Starting point is 00:32:23 You know, people are like, oh, I don't have time for a second job. You've got time for this one. You literally could have your day job and then in the evening do your night job while you're in the bed. Just wake up and make some notes in the morning. Yep. And all they do is they bring you a new mattress every week. Every week? I think it's every week, yeah. Wow. The only way that could be better is if they bring you fresh sheets every time too. Oh, yeah, they just change them for you? And then you don't have to wash your sheets.
Starting point is 00:32:47 How good would that be? That'd be great. But then, I mean, it might disturb your sleep a little bit. Changing every time. Yeah, because you get used to a mattress. No, you wouldn't have time to get used to it. No. It'd be like being a travelling rock star staying in different motels,
Starting point is 00:33:01 different bed every night, you know? And it depends which one you like, you know? 47 grand to be a mattress tester. I'm keen for that. Yeah, same. Sign me up for that. How much time do you spend in bed? I get minimum seven hours a night.
Starting point is 00:33:15 You're not someone who is a bed person? No, no. You would know if you were. No, no, I'm not a bed person. I definitely... There's too much going on in my house to be a bed person. I'd like the idea of it. Like, I'd like to do a bit more on the bed.
Starting point is 00:33:29 Hopefully your wife Lucy is listening. Shout out to you, Lucy. I'll send you this audio if you want. Yeah, most of our stuff gets done in the kitchen. Ooh, spatula. And that is not as raunchy as it may sound. Look out for hot flying grease. When I flat with people, I am a massive bed person.
Starting point is 00:33:51 I'm always in my bed. I eat in my bed. I do work in my bed. I watch movies. In your bed or on your bed? Both. Yeah. Both.
Starting point is 00:34:00 Like if I'm eating, not, oh, it depends what. Because being on the bed is way less committal than being in the bed. It depends what food. In the bed, people are like, you okay? But on the bed, oh yeah, Brie's just doing some work. In the bed, oh, what's going on with Brie? Yeah, I definitely do both for work. On the bed.
Starting point is 00:34:16 And on. Just, yeah. What foods are not appropriate for the bed? Anything with crumbs, which is weird for toast for breakfast in bed. I have toast in bed. Yeah, well. I have tea in bed. I have popcorn in bed. Chocolate with crumbs, which is weird for toast for breakfast in bed. I have toast in bed. I have tea in bed. I have popcorn in bed. Chocolate? Chocolate, absolutely.
Starting point is 00:34:29 Okay, it looks like pooh stains if it melts in your bed, but that's fine. Yeah, but that's why you have to be careful. Red wine? Oh, no. Wouldn't have a red wine in bed. Wouldn't have a red wine in bed. I had Nando's in bed once. With the peri-peri sauce? Yeah, it was a bad idea. Don't do it.
Starting point is 00:34:45 That's one thing you shouldn't have in bed. Do you have one of those waterproof mattress protectors on your bed? Yes. That's the only reason that you can do it. I say to my partner it's because we have a dog, but it's because I eat all of this different stuff in bed. It's because your last bed left with butter chicken stains on it. Seriously, that's happened in our household multiple times,
Starting point is 00:35:04 and our sheets are quite expensive. Yeah, right. You're an in-the-bed person. I would try and keep anything food-based out of the bed and I generally try and keep... You're not living. No, I think I am. I think I am.
Starting point is 00:35:15 No, you're not living. I try and keep work out of the bed too because it's too relaxing. It's too tempting to... Do you not call your bed a workbench? No. I do some work in bed. Don't you just? Innuendo.
Starting point is 00:35:32 Don't you love it? Let's talk to some bed people this afternoon, shall we? Is that what you want to do? Yeah, I want to talk to some people who are, and you know if you're one. You know if you're a bed person, if you do more than the usual types of things in bed. I want to hear from the people, are you doing something
Starting point is 00:35:50 that's quite unusual to do in bed? And keep it clean. We're not talking about that part. He wants to know about the weird stuff you do in bed. No. Next week we're doing, what's your kink? Not this week though. We're doing, what's the unusual thing that you do in though. We're doing What's the Unusual Thing That You Do in Bed?
Starting point is 00:36:07 You want to talk to the people who are basically the real-life version of the granddad on Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Yes. You live in bed. He didn't even get out of bed. Unless he got tickets to a chocolate factory. I know. Okay, oh, Andrew Diles, anyone here from the bed people?
Starting point is 00:36:21 Yes, or you can text us on 9696. What are you doing in bed? Brian Clint. The announcement from the Prime Minister, which we'll go into in a second. Basically, Waikato will stay at level three with a review on Friday. Northland is going to level two at 11.59pm Tuesday. And Auckland stays exactly as we are for a further two weeks.
Starting point is 00:36:43 Ah, shit. Ah, shit. Ah, shit. But yay, Northland. Good for Northland. Good for you guys. That's awesome news for Northland. And hopefully some good news for Waikato by Friday. Yes.
Starting point is 00:36:54 But to all our Aucklanders listening, ah, shit. Crack open the scotch. I know it's a Monday, but, you know. Scotch. It's Friday somewhere. We're down to the Christoph by this stage. The Scotch went in week four. Get out the brandy.
Starting point is 00:37:11 Drink the drinking wine. Open the stuff you've been saving for a special occasion. The cooking wine. All right. There you go. There's the news. That's the latest update. Well, this has never been more relevant then for Aucklanders.
Starting point is 00:37:25 We're talking about unusual things that you do in bed, like stuff that, you know, the bed's not really for. You want to talk to people whose bed is basically their default space, right? I use my bed for a lot of things. No, like I spend heaps of time in there. I'll do work in there. I'll eat in there I just love bed
Starting point is 00:37:46 Yeah And other things It's going to be hard to get through this Without too much innuendo But let's give it a go Michael's here Kia ora Michael G'day Michael
Starting point is 00:37:53 You're a big bed man Michael You love it in bed Yeah, yeah It's my work room Your work room? Wait a minute What do you do for work? Well, no
Starting point is 00:38:04 My hobby room I should say. I am a milliner, so I do hats, make hats. So I love doing it in bed and just got to be careful you don't lose a needle. Yeah, big time. So true, has that ever happened? No. Okay, good.
Starting point is 00:38:19 Michael, what type of hats do you make? All sorts, from top hats to fascinators. That's so cool, Michael. A milliner. Is that the official word for someone who makes hats, did you say? That's right, yeah, yeah. Yeah, right.
Starting point is 00:38:33 That's awesome. And your hats come with the added personalised touch that they've been in bed with you before. Exactly. Michael, Clint's on the search for a new fedora. If you could make him one, he'd love that. I could, I could. I'm looking for a Future Sex Love Sounds era Justin Timberl new fedora. You can make him one. He'd love that. I could, I could. I'm looking for a Future Sex Love Sounds era
Starting point is 00:38:47 Justin Timberlake fedora. Yeah. Get Michael's details. Let's talk to Jasmine. Hey, Jazz. Hi, Jazz. Hi, guys. What do you do in bed, Jazz?
Starting point is 00:38:56 Well, ever since lockdown, I've basically been nocturnal, so I've been doing ab workouts and yoga in my bed. Yoga in your bed? Ab workouts? I don't know about you, Jazz, but when I do a workout, I get quite sweaty. That's what I was going to say too.
Starting point is 00:39:12 And how does that work out, Jazz? Well, like my bed's a super king and my room is very small, so I can't actually go on the floor because there's no floor space. Oh, you have to do it in your bed. You need quite a firm bed, I feel, to do an ab and yoga workout in bed. A firm one? A firm one. You'd have to have quite a stiff bed.
Starting point is 00:39:32 No, it's actually kind of soft. Oh, right. Okay. Yeah. Jaz, if you've got a small room, why did you get a super king? Because the bed is your life. That is why you need a super king. No, see, I like your style, Jaz.
Starting point is 00:39:46 I like that a lot. Super king, yeah. Just because you're a bed person doesn't mean you're lazy. I agree. Oh, and that's coming from someone who's doing a workout in their bed. Yeah. Although not all bed people are doing a workout in their bed. I'm definitely not.
Starting point is 00:39:59 Good advice, Jazmyn. Well, depending on what type of workout you're talking about. See, you keep doing it there. Bridie's here. Hi, Bridie. Hi, Bridie. Hi, Bridie. What kind of stuff are you getting up to in your bed? So, because it's really relaxing and I like to be fluid and creative,
Starting point is 00:40:14 I will creatively paint my commissions in my bed. What? You do painting in bed? Yeah, and I do not recommend shaking any test pots as well. You know what you should do, Bridie? Yeah, and I do not recommend shaking any test pots as well. You know what you should do, Bridie? You should buy a white duvet cover and then obviously just go about your business and paint and stuff. And by the time, you know, and then you'll have this amazing like spilt paint duvet cover.
Starting point is 00:40:39 That would be really cool. Kind of like tie dye, I guess. Yeah. Are you painting canvases in your bed? Is that what you're painting? Yeah, like on canvas paper and canvas. How are you getting any kind of control? Do you have an easel in your bed?
Starting point is 00:40:57 No, I just lay my paper that I'm leaning on and then I just have a real small brush and try to keep it within the area. What do you rest the pots of paint on so they don't fall over? I can't even have a cup of tea in bed without causing an issue. Where do you put the paint? So I've got a wee paint tray that's got different sections, so I'll put all the colours that I'm using in,
Starting point is 00:41:13 so it's all there for me. I never would have thought someone would have called and said, I do paintings in bed. That's amazing, Bridie. I like to be relaxed. Yeah, well, hey, what better place? You get much more relaxing than bed. There's pizza news, and I feel like we need to talk about this, Brie.
Starting point is 00:41:31 Yes, this is big news in the pizza community, and I feel like we need to get on our resident Italian, which is my dad. Please welcome to the show, Big Steve. Buongiorno. Buongiorno, ragazzi. Come vai? Big Steve, please state your Italian credentials.
Starting point is 00:41:50 What part of Italy do you hail from originally? We come from the provincial town of Treviso. It's near Venice. It's about 100km to the northwest of Venice. There you are. Yes. We're very cultured, our family. What's your opinion on pizza, first of all?
Starting point is 00:42:08 Oh, fantastic. It's the best. What more could you say? What more could you want? Good, that was a test. There's bread, there's sauce, there's meats, there's toppings. It's got everything. That was a test.
Starting point is 00:42:19 That was to flush out any fake Italians in this conversation, and you both passed. So this is a pizza that you can get, Big Steve, but we can't because it's available at Domino's Australia. What's your opinion on a cheesy Vegemite pizza? I saw this story, you know that? That guy, where was he? In New York or somewhere.
Starting point is 00:42:44 Anyway, ridiculous. Absolutely ridiculous. But, Dad, technically, you're Italian, you're Australian. It's your two favourite things coming together in unison. Delicious. No, no. It's just like pineapple. No such thing as bloody pineapple on pizza.
Starting point is 00:43:03 All right, all right. one pizza injustice at a time Brie's got a point this is basically the pizza version of Brie it's half Italian half Australian I'll just give you the recipe first because it's available at your Domino's in Australia you might want to go and get this three simple ingredients
Starting point is 00:43:18 dough, Vegemite and mozzarella that's the whole pizza yum not a chance no. Not a chance. No way. Not a chance. Sorry. That's not pizza.
Starting point is 00:43:29 What about avocado on pizza? What are your thoughts on that? No, definitely not. We saw a kiwifruit pizza last year. What's your opinion on kiwifruit on pizza? Well, it should stay in New Zealand, I think, because... The fish and chip shop up the road from my parents-in-law's place does a banana pizza.
Starting point is 00:43:50 Would you like a Caribbean-style banana pizza? No, let it go back to Cuba or wherever it comes from. No, that's not pizza. All right. Well, finally, I thought while you're here and seeing as we have the beauty of a language barrier, would you like to offer a review
Starting point is 00:44:05 on a cheesy Marmite pizza in your native tongue, Big Steve, Bree's dad? Absolutely. I'd love to do it. Ragazzi, non sta mangiare
Starting point is 00:44:14 la pizza con la veg marmite perché non son pizza. Dai, ragazzi. Fammi un piacere, non mangiare. Okay? That was a treat
Starting point is 00:44:23 for our Italian listeners. You don't want to know what the last word he said was, right? Thanks, Big Steve. Good to know. Good to know. It's not for us. Love you, Dad. Avoid the Vegemite pizza.
Starting point is 00:44:33 I'll send you one to the house. No, thank you. It'll be fine. Okay. Love you, guys. Love you, bye. See ya. I'm getting one of those pizzas, by the way.
Starting point is 00:44:42 Me too. I'm so keen. Bree and Clint. Time for getting one of those pizzas, by the way. Me too. I'm so keen. Brie and Clint. Time for a round of the name game. It's a little game we stole, but it's a fun game, and Brie has never lost this game. It's your chance to take her on and smash her and take home 50 KFC chicken dollars.
Starting point is 00:45:03 Slash goal. You're taking on Kimberley today. Kia ora, Kimberley. Hi, Kim. Hi. What's your knowledge of famous people like Kim? Do you know many famous people? Kind of.
Starting point is 00:45:13 Yeah? If you've got an Instagram account, you should be okay at this game. The idea is I just yell out a name, and the first one of you two to name a famous person who uses that name gets the point, and it's first to three points. person who uses that name gets the point. And it's first to three points. We do have a fail safe in this. It's producer Anastasia.
Starting point is 00:45:33 For them to be famous, she has to know who it is. That's our backstop in this. All right. Okay? Just so we can't go too obscure. You understand the rules, Kimberly? You don't buzz in with your name. You just yell out an answer when you've got it.
Starting point is 00:45:42 Okay. All right, then. Everybody ready? Let's give this. Okay. All right, then. Everybody ready? Let's give this a go. First famous person today. Give me a famous Georgia. Georgia. This one was hard.
Starting point is 00:45:59 I struggled with this one too. Michael? No, that's George Michaels. Georgia. I'll buzz that one George Michaels. Georgia. I'll buzz that one out. The only one I got was Georgia from Broods, but I couldn't come up with her last name. But I would have accepted Georgia from Broods.
Starting point is 00:46:17 Or that designer that Anastasia likes, Georgia Ellis. That would have worked as well. But I remember getting a bit obscure there. That's a bit obscure, isn't it? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, no point there. Let's move on. Kimberly and Bree, give me a famous Tory.
Starting point is 00:46:28 Spelling. That's the one I was thinking of. Yes! She was in, what was that, 90s? 90210. 90210.
Starting point is 00:46:35 Yeah. Yeah, okay. Cool, one point to Bree. Let's go, Kimberley. You got this. Give me a famous Bob. Bob Marley. Yes! Nice, Kimberley. Well done. Bob Marley.
Starting point is 00:46:46 Yes. Nice, Kimberley. Well done, Kimberley. I would have also accepted Bob Hope, Bob Saget from Full House. Oh, yes. Or Bob Irwin. Oh, Bob Irwin, yeah. Steve Irwin's son.
Starting point is 00:46:57 Okay, one point each. Let's keep going. Guys, give me a famous Charlie. Chaplin. Yes. Chaplin. Yes. Well done. I would have accepted XCX. I'll take stage names.
Starting point is 00:47:13 That's fine. You don't have to know Charlie XCX real last name. That's good enough. Yeah, yeah. Charlie XCX would have done. Who else is there? I only had XCX and bit my finger. Oh.
Starting point is 00:47:24 That was the only Charlies that I had. Oh, Charlie. Two to Bree, one to Kimberley. You need this one to stay in the game, okay, Kim? Okay. Guys, give me all. You've got a Kiwi advantage here, Kimberley. Although Bree does know who this person is,
Starting point is 00:47:36 but will it come to mind fast enough? Give me a famous cliff. Richards. Oh, I didn't even think of that one. I was thinking of Curtis, but yeah. Oh, yeah didn't even think of that one. I was thinking of Curtis, but yeah. Oh, yeah. Well done. There you go.
Starting point is 00:47:49 You win the game. Well done, Bree. Thank you. You can choose to keep the 50 KFC chicken dollars or you can choose to gift them to our loser, Kimberly. I don't know. Kim, what are you... Oh, come on, come on.
Starting point is 00:48:00 Kim, of course you can have them. You've been a delight. Kim? Thank you so much. No worries, Kim. Bree and Clint. ZM's $50,000 Secret Sound. Season 10.
Starting point is 00:48:18 The jackpot is at $15,000, and the person in charge of all that cash is you, Soundkeeper Ella. No pressure. What's up? Yeah, I'm feeling not stressed at all. I have a question. Where are you hiding the money? In my bank account.
Starting point is 00:48:32 No, not mine. Is it on your person right now? I wish. No, definitely not. And where do you live? No, I'm not saying that. Good answer. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:48:42 That was a test. Here to take your money off you legally and safely in a contact-free, COVID-appropriate way is Gemma. Hi, Gemma. G'day, Gemma. Go on. We've got you there now. Hi.
Starting point is 00:48:54 What would you do with $15,000 cash if you took it off Sankiba Ella this afternoon? I would probably pay some bills and buy some baby stuff. I've got a baby on board. Oh, baby on board. I love babies. A really nice pram. Yes, absolutely.
Starting point is 00:49:12 A really nice pram. Or like a soothing white noise machine. I heard they're good. Sounds amazing. I mean, you'd get a lot of soothing white noise machines for 15 grand, but, you know, it's... And for when you're not breastfeeding, lots of vodka. Okay, Gemma, let's do this.
Starting point is 00:49:28 You need the money, so let's get it for you. What do you think this sound right here, the 2021 secret sound is? I reckon it's popping your boot from inside the car. That's such a good
Starting point is 00:49:44 guess. That little release tab down the side of the seat. Yes. Yes, that's such a good guess. That little release tab down the side of the seat. Yes, I love that. Okay. Oh, I love this guess. Well, you've got Bree and Clint on board with that guess, Gemma. And Gemma's got a baby on board. I know we've said you can make the clues fit any guess,
Starting point is 00:50:01 but I can make that one fit the clue of Level 3 Made Me. If you want to go and pick up some stuff from Bunnings or Mitre 10, you have to pop your boot and they put it in your boot. So Level 3 Made Me popped the boot of my car from inside. Well, what about the other clue? Buy now, use later. Yeah, while you're getting something and then you get to use it later. Yeah, exactly right.
Starting point is 00:50:24 Click and collect. Okay. Right. Well, Gem right. Click and collect. Okay. Right. Well, Gemma, I'll let you know. That 15K is staying with me. That's not the secret, Sam. Gemma, I was convinced then, you know. I really thought that could have been it.
Starting point is 00:50:42 It sounds so much like it. I actually woke up at 3 a.m. and had that thought in my head. I'm like, oh, my goodness, I need to call. You've got to write it down when you have that A because imagine if you'd woken up again at 7 and you're like, oh, my God, I've forgotten my guess. I've forgotten what it was. Gemma, I think you're onto something.
Starting point is 00:50:58 Stick with us a second. Ella, can you tell us, it's not the boot release. Is it something related to the car? Clint, no, I can't answer that. Because we had that season where it was the ashtray in the car. Is it in the house then? Is it in the car anywhere or is it outside the car? Look, I cannot say.
Starting point is 00:51:13 People guess when they're allowed to, but that's all I can really give, apart from clues which are dedicated to Fridays at 5pm. Okay, can we have a bit of a bonus amount of money? What do you mean? A jackpot? Jackpot, yeah, that's the word. Maybe. I'll think about it.
Starting point is 00:51:30 Not today. Friday? My money's staying with me. Friday? No, that's clue day. Okay, you figure it out and we'll get the jackpot on Thursday. Yeah, we'll negotiate. That is the secret sound.
Starting point is 00:51:40 Done for another day. It's back at 7am. Sunky Borrella will be there. It's thanks to our mates at Neon. You can watch TV series and movies handpicked for Kiwis by Kiwis on Neon, including the brand new season of Love Island Australia, which Brie and I are right into. So good.
Starting point is 00:51:54 Go check that out tonight. Up next on the show, does your partner not have a car or a driver's licence and are you by default their taxi? This is triggering. Is it for you? It's triggering. I've never been in this situation, or a driver's licence and are you by default their taxi? This Triggering. Is it for you? Triggering.
Starting point is 00:52:08 I've never been in this situation but I know that it's one of your deal breakers when it comes to relationships. I just don't want to be anyone's chauffeur. Well, someone's posted about it very honestly too. If you are thinking about selling your car and just relying on your partner
Starting point is 00:52:22 Not a good idea. Yeah, this could be the reason to hold on to your wheels. Brian Clint. Right now, though, I am going to read something that's going to piss you off. This is a post from someone who says they are tired of giving their boyfriend of four years rides to work. Oh, okay. I'm just going to, you know, there could be a good reason.
Starting point is 00:52:43 I'll just, at the start, say that it's not for medical reasons. Their partner doesn't have like, they're not exempt from driving or anything like that. They just don't. I'll read you this post. Why don't they? I'll read you this post. This has been one of the main things I'm struggling with in our relationship. But every time I try and bring it up, my boyfriend gets very annoyed and convinces
Starting point is 00:53:05 me that it's not that bad. Saturday and Sunday nights at 11pm, my boyfriend needs to be driven about 10 minutes to his job. Usually, I would have no issue and not really care about doing it, but when I have plans, since most people do their social gatherings and interacting on the weekends, I have to work around giving him a ride and making sure I'm not intoxicated and make it home to him on time so that he's not late for work, et cetera. There's no leniency. She has to be back to do the work run,
Starting point is 00:53:38 even if it means leaving in the middle of a party that I'm enjoying. Nah. Kick that guy's ass to the curb. Why isn't he catching an Uber? He says he refuses to catch an Uber or a taxi because they are hit and miss, is what the person wrote. You know what's not hit and miss?
Starting point is 00:53:59 Yeah. Driving yourself. He said he can't get buses because they don't run that late. He can't catch a bus at 11 o'clock at night. And he refuses to get a driver's licence because he doesn't want to save up the money for a car. Oh, nah. I couldn't deal with that guy, nah.
Starting point is 00:54:16 See you later. For some context, these people are 23 and 24. Nah. So they're both young. Nah. He's 24, she's 23. You should have your stuff together. And look,
Starting point is 00:54:27 cars are expensive and it is super hard to save up for your first car. So even if he doesn't have a car, whatever, get your damn licence and you can use her car. You could drop her at the party. Yeah, exactly. And then you could borrow the car. I reckon
Starting point is 00:54:43 she would lend you the car every single weekend to save having to drive you there. It's such a niggly time as well. Because if you want to go out, 11 o'clock is party time. That's the worst possible time. And if you want to stay in and have a quiet night, 11 o'clock is like bedtime. I'd say see you later.
Starting point is 00:55:00 It's only 10 minutes as well. It's only a 10-minute drive to get to work. I was like, you can catch an Uber. Yeah, you can catch it. You know what I mean? It's not like it's a really long way. If you haven't taken the initiative to get your license and there's no better reason,
Starting point is 00:55:16 then you can get an Uber. I, this is a big call, and I hope the person's not listening, I reckon this is going to tear their relationship apart. Absolutely. She will begin to resent him. I resent him, and I don't even know the guy. I reckon this is going to tear their relationship apart. Absolutely. She will begin to resent him. I resent him and I don't even know the guy. I resent the guy. He's using you as a taxi.
Starting point is 00:55:31 Yes, and it's so unfair to put that on you if it was every now and then or I understand being in a relationship, you make sacrifices, but it's not even look like if he was like, I'm going to get my license. I just need three months. I'd be like, okay, cool. We can do this for three months. As long as you're working towards, you know what I mean? He's just like, he's literally, he's
Starting point is 00:55:54 literally taking you for a ride, except he's not. You're taking him for a ride every Saturday and Sunday night. It's one of those things that could drive, like we said, could drive a wedge in the relationship because you begin to resent each other. 10 minutes away, get a bike. Ride your bike. Yep. Because she also said that she doesn't have to pick him up from work.
Starting point is 00:56:12 He finishes work at 7am and he doesn't require picking up. Why? Because she said- He walks? No, she said she put her foot down earlier in the relationship and said,
Starting point is 00:56:21 I'm not picking you up, I'll be asleep. If I have to drop you at work at 11, I'll be asleep at 7. Yeah. So he said, okay. Oh, nah. See, this is why it's a deal breaker for me. Yeah. You've said this before that getting into a relationship with anybody, them not having a driver's license is a deal breaker for you, right? Unless there's a really good reason. Like if it's someone like this guy, then no, I don't want to be, like it already tells me that he doesn't have the personality that I really want to be in a relationship with.
Starting point is 00:56:50 Do you reckon it's one of the first questions he asks on the date? He's like, do you have a car? And do you have a licence? Do you have a driver's licence? What are you doing on Saturday night? Are you allowed to take passengers on your driver's licence? Cool, 11pm, you're dropping me at work. Sexy.
Starting point is 00:57:05 Let's take some calls from people this afternoon from people whose partners do not have a car or a driver's license without a good reason. Yeah. Like if there's a good reason, obviously we're not coming at those people. There's a good reason. But we're talking about people like this
Starting point is 00:57:22 who are just like, oh, I can't be bothered to get a license. I don't think we'll hear from people who are currently in a relationship like that. I reckon we'll hear from people who were in a relationship like that and like this person got so sick of it, it ended up breaking up their relationship. Did it break up your relationship, them not having a licence or a car?
Starting point is 00:57:38 Yeah, yeah. Or did they lose their licence for something and you had to be their driver? Oh, see, that sucks too because then you're being punished for their bad mistakes. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, where are the people whose partners didn't have cars or driver's licenses and they became the default Uber driver
Starting point is 00:57:54 who didn't get paid? 0800 dial ZM. You can remain anonymous or you can text us on 9696. I just want to hear the frustration in your voice this afternoon. Bree and Clint. At the moment we're talking about people whose partners refuse to get a driver's license
Starting point is 00:58:11 or a car or even a freaking e-scooter at this stage. Yeah, for no good reason. For no good reason. There's no good reason. They just can't be bothered that I want to. It's my biggest, one of my biggest red flags. I never ever want to get into a relationship. Your partner knows that too.
Starting point is 00:58:27 I've never seen a woman keep her war on her fitness so up to date. She's like, if I don't, I see her in the queue at VTNZ sometimes, she's like, if I don't get this, Bree will leave me. It's 100% true. Yeah, yeah. I'm just kidding. But it is one of those things where I guarantee anyone who's been in the situation where they have to
Starting point is 00:58:46 drive their significant other yeah for a long period of time yeah you resent them you will be yeah absolutely if there's no good reason well let's talk to some people and find out what it's really like kindle is here hi kindle hi guys how are you good thanks has this happened to you kindle no so not me I have a car myself, but my partner, his ex-girlfriend, sold her car so that she could get tattoos done. Oh, no. There's a sign already. Yeah, so he wasn't too happy he had to drive her places for many months.
Starting point is 00:59:19 And now I feel like I can't ask him to ever drive me anywhere because I know how much it triggers him. Yeah, right. You've seen it in his eyes. Have you guys ever talked about it? He just mentioned it one time when he had to drive me to my hairdresser appointment, and I was like, all right, noted. Wow, he brought it up while he was driving you somewhere.
Starting point is 00:59:36 This has really touched this man's soul. He's damaged by this. I feel like, Kendall, you shouldn't be paying for his ex's mistakes. You know? Oh, each to their own. It's all right. I've got my own car, so we're good. You got your own car.
Starting point is 00:59:51 You got your licence. You're good to go. I love the sound business ethics of, I can get these tattoos. All I have to do is get rid of my car. And then something in your mind goes, but you need a car. No, he will drive you.
Starting point is 01:00:01 Get the tattoos. See, that's the point. It's like, no. Let's talk to Nicola. Kia ora, Nicola. Hi, Nicola. Hi there. How are we?
Starting point is 01:00:10 Good, thanks. It's not a relationship per se. Well, it is, but it's your best friend who doesn't have a driver's license. Yes, that's correct. It was my best friend. So, yeah. Wait, wait, wait, Nicola. Did you say was my best friend?
Starting point is 01:00:24 She definitely is still my best friend. Okay, just checking. Just checking. I mean, it does trigger me because I'm like, just go get your license. So if you guys want to do anything fun, you're expected to drive. Is that what it is?
Starting point is 01:00:37 Yeah, yeah. She doesn't even meet you with, let's go out for brunch tomorrow. You drove us last time. I'll get us an Uber. Well, the funny thing is that she lives up in the Wairarapa, whereas I live in Christchurch. Oh, you're ages away.
Starting point is 01:00:51 So when I go up to the Wairarapa, I have to borrow her mum's car and drive us around. Nicola, did you move to Christchurch to get away from her? No, well, she was actually living in, well, she lived in Marsden, then she moved to Christchurch, then she's moved back to Marsden. Yeah, right. She must love it when you come to visit, because she can go out and get her errands done, you know?
Starting point is 01:01:12 Yeah, yeah, it's good. Well, I mean, I don't mind driving people around, but yeah, I suppose when it comes to, if I have to ask my partner to take me to the airport or something like that, I get mega anxiety, because I'm like, is this going to trigger him? Is he going to be annoyed? Is he going to be annoyed? Is he going to be like just catching over? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:01:29 And I think that's an important distinction. Like you can absolutely ask your partner to drive you somewhere. Absolutely you can, but it's about, you know. We're talking about giving up the means of transporting yourself ever because you know that you've got them as a backstop. A chauffeur. You know, that's very different. Finally, this person wants to remain anonymous.
Starting point is 01:01:48 Hello, Anonymous. Hi, Anonymous. Hello. Is this about your sister? It is about my sister, yeah. So she's been in a relationship for two years. The first year she was driving him around and everything, everywhere. But he's just recently got his license but for a motorbike.
Starting point is 01:02:05 So he has no intention of getting a car licence so he can drive her around. So he doesn't have a car licence? No, just motorbike. And he got the motorbike one first? Yeah. Who the hell does that? Yeah, and even worse,
Starting point is 01:02:20 they live like two hours apart. Oh. Right, okay. Doing a lot of driving. You know, if it's raining, he'll be like, you apart. Right, okay. Doing a lot of driving. You know, if it's raining, he'll be like, you need to come to me. Now, we've kept you anonymous for a reason, I believe, anonymous. Yeah, well, she's driving at the moment to go see him. No way, is she in the car with you?
Starting point is 01:02:39 Oh, no, no, no, she's in a different car. Oh, she could be listening to us. I've never seen this before, but let's hope she's not a ZM listener, right? And if you're thinking it's you, if you're listening to this right now and you're thinking it's you, it's definitely not you. There's tons of people in New Zealand that have a similar situation. This is definitely not your sister.
Starting point is 01:03:01 Liberally. Yeah, totally. It's such a common story. Thanks, Anonymous. I appreciate it. No intricate details were given. She'll never know, totally. It's such a common story. Thanks, Anonymous. I appreciate it. No intricate details were given. She'll never know, Anonymous. Don't worry about it.
Starting point is 01:03:09 There you go. Go and get your license, if you can, and get a car, if you can. Look after yourself, if you can. I know it's nice to be driven around. You feel like royalty, but. Yeah, but just think about, you know, driving Miss Daisy, not so fun. There you go. Like quite a slow movie And burns out in the end

Starting point is 01:08:20 Brian Clint's in him. It was a John Deere. It was 1980. Brian Clint. It was a John Deere. It was 1988. I want to have a conversation around aeroplane seat etiquette. Aeroplane seat etiquette. Is it airplane? Airplane seat. Aeroplane. Aeroplane.
Starting point is 01:08:38 What's the difference? There isn't a difference. People just say airplane, but it's aeroplane. Aeroplane. Yeah, yeah. Aeroplane seat etiquette. Not that we are flying. It's like that Chili Peppers song.
Starting point is 01:08:48 What? It's my aeroplane. That's how I remember with an obscure reference from an 80s rock band. I like aeroplane jelly. Aeroplane jelly. If the Prime Minister is listening, this is us before the two-week extension of this lockdown. I've lost it. Honestly, Jacinda.
Starting point is 01:09:10 Aeroplane? Aeroplane. We're going to do it. Come on. Just so you know, Jacinda, because I know you're listening. Sorry, Prime Minister. Be respectful. We're going to do it.
Starting point is 01:09:20 We're going to do the two weeks. But I'm not happy about it. But when our brain turns to complete mush at the end of this that's why okay yeah just putting it in you'll know you'll know she's like cool man i don't care i got bigger problems i got bigger things to fry uh the story where a person has asked the question were they in the wrong right uh or was this other person in the situation in the wrong so they said i'm the type of person that wants to get off the get off the plane quickly so i booked an aisle seat for row
Starting point is 01:09:51 two of the plane this is this way i can disembark the second the doors were open yeah love that i got on the plane and sat in my seat then somebody who had the two seats to the left of me asked me to move and sit in near the window instead. This is because they wanted to have the aisle seats to talk to their friends on the other side of the aisle. Yeah. So you with me? Yeah, I'm with you. This person goes, I said no because I had paid for the aisle seat for a reason. Oh, so it's your seat.
Starting point is 01:10:24 Yeah. If the plane crashes and they have to go through the bodies, they will be looking for your seat. Well, they've paid for it as well. That was grim, but yeah, that's the deal. I feel like the main thing is that they've paid for it and there's a reason why they've spent the money. Yeah. It says, my parents were collecting me from the airport and I needed to be off the plane quickly. They kept asking and I refused to budge. At no point were voices raised, but the stewardess then came over and told me I had to move or I would be ejected from the plane.
Starting point is 01:10:52 Oh, you got stiffed, lady. That sucks. I then sat next to the window. The people that sat next to me then sat in their seat when the plane landed and didn't move. The result was that I was the last person to get off the plane. That sucks too because you're stuck between a rock and a hard place because if you had held your ground and kept your seat,
Starting point is 01:11:11 you would be awkwardly sat between their friendship and they would probably have their conversation over you. Yeah. This is the solution. To give it into context, they paid around $40 for this. You don't need to justify it. It's your seat. If you want to give up your seat, you can.
Starting point is 01:11:29 If there's a legitimate reason, if the lady was like, hey, sorry, I've just been in a motorbike crash and I can't straighten my leg, do you think I could have the aisle seat? You probably should give it to them. Yeah, yeah. Remember that time we were flying somewhere for work and I was getting on the plane and I had the window seat because it makes me feel less anxious on a plane so I like to sit in the window seat when I can.
Starting point is 01:11:51 And I get on and the guy was sitting in my seat and I said, oh, sorry, excuse me, I think you might be in the wrong seat. You know how you do that. People make mistakes. And he looks at me. Do you remember this? And he looked at me and goes, I was here first. That's right. Yeah. Do you remember this? And he looked at me and goes, I was here first. That's right.
Starting point is 01:12:06 Yeah. Did you back down? So I was quite shocked. I was like, oh, there was a guy sitting in the middle seat who was like, move your ass out of her seat. Yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:12:18 And then, yeah, so got him to move out of the bloody seat. And thank God I had that lovely person in the middle because that would have been super awkward. Yeah, well, thank God we can't go anywhere. So we don't have to worry about this kind of thing, right? Yeah. Live, laugh, lockdown. Ah, glass half full.
Starting point is 01:12:33 I've got happy cat news, everybody. I should have organised a cat meow. Ben, quick, urgently find us a cat meow. I've got a good cat meow. You do want to tide us over. That cat meow started with a B. That's good. Now, was it better than the pre-organized one?
Starting point is 01:12:54 I think mine had more character. Yeah, right. Well, we've got multiple cats. Isabel Connor is thrilled to have Leo the cat back with her after not seeing her feline companion for more than three and a half years. You would not ever think that you were going to see that cat again if it had been three and a half years. No, she gave up hope.
Starting point is 01:13:15 She moved house. She's an Aucklander and she lived in the very nice suburb of, what was it? Westmere is where she lived. Oh, lovely. In 2018, June, Connor ran away. They don't know why. He just went missing.
Starting point is 01:13:30 And they looked for him for ages. Why? It'd be mating season. Oh, you reckon he was out on the prowl. A lot of cats do go out on the prowl, but they usually can find their way home. He was looking for some... Yes, he was. He was looking for some other cats.
Starting point is 01:13:43 He was looking for some... You know? Yeah. She looked for him for ages. But eventually you do give up. Like, if it was you... Well, there's only so much you can do. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, I'd do a lot. If my dog Whitney went missing, I'd be, you know, distraught.
Starting point is 01:14:00 Dogs, I feel... Yeah, because cats, you go, well, the cat could be out there surviving. They're very wily, these cats. You know why I think it's probably more likely to get your dog back? Because, I mean, cats and dogs both microchipped. And if you don't have a microchip, please go get your pets microchipped. Yeah. A lot harder to catch someone else's cat.
Starting point is 01:14:20 Yes. Also, a lot more disturbing when you see a dog in the wild. Yeah, why is that? Also, dogs can't hide in trees. That's the other one. Yeah, a lot more disturbing when you see a dog in the wild. Yeah, why is that? Also, dogs can't hide in trees. That's the other one. Yeah, that's another thing. Anyway, she moved house about two years ago. So, I mean, she stayed in the same house for a year and a half,
Starting point is 01:14:34 maybe two years. Didn't see the cat. And what do you know? The bloody cat is back. Over three years later, on Friday, they got a call from their vet to say that Leo had been found and his microchip had been scanned. A lovely lady called Rebecca had scanned the cat at her house.
Starting point is 01:14:52 She's got a cat scanner in her house. That seems fishy. She must be a vet. It does seem a bit fishy, doesn't it? Yeah. And we're talking about... Do you reckon she's been holding Leo hostage all this time? She seems a bit unusual.
Starting point is 01:15:04 She took Leo and she's like, love me, love me, Leo. She's like, all right, three years, it's about a good time to ask for some money.
