But actually, we've got some special guests playing Tradiverse Lady today.
Yeah, this is very exciting.
A couple of TikTokers from the States who we came across their video
because they were talking about the big difference
between New Zealand radio and American radio.
Because we think the radio is one of the biggest differences
between the States and New Zealand. We always have the radio is one of the biggest differences between the States and New Zealand.
We always have the radio. We never even bother
turning on music on our phones because it is so enjoyable
to listen to the radio. Yeah, the hosts just have

Hey, thanks for listening to ZDM.
It's great to see your video.

We really appreciate it.
Thanks, guys.
Thanks for listening.
And thanks for playing. We loved having you guys. We really appreciate it. Thanks, guys. Thanks for listening and thanks for playing.
We loved having you on.
There's a proposal
video that's doing
the rounds on the internet at the moment
that is dividing people.
Okay.
And normally, a proposal, exciting,
it's happy,
you know, it's lovely.
It's a nice thing.
But the reason why this video is dividing people is because it's a proposal at someone else's wedding.
Oh, that's taboo.
So here's the situation because there's more details that go into it.
So the video starts with the bride of the actual wedding that's happening and she's about to do the bouquet toss.
So she's about to toss the bouquet where one of her single friends
is going to catch it.
Yeah.
And as she goes to throw it, she turns around and she runs over to,
I believe it's one of her bridesmaids, and hands her the bouquet.
And the bridesmaid is real confused and then the bridesmaid turns around
and then there's a guy down on one knee.
Oh.
So obviously the bride, and I'm assuming the groom,
We're in on that.
knew about it.
Yeah.
Well, then that's okay then, isn't it?
Because it was an organised thing.
Yeah.
If she was a part of it,
then that's okay to propose at someone else's wedding.
Yeah, like obviously if people, you know, are okay with it.
I just also think though, he obviously went to them and said,
hey, this is what I want to do.
Yeah.
And put them in this position where, can you say no in that position?
Oh, as the bride?
And the groom.
Because it's, you know, it's their wedding.
They've spent a lot of money on the day.
Is it up to them?
Yeah, you can say no, but it is awkward.
It does make it awkward.
It does put you into an awkward situation.
So the only way it's okay is if it was the bride's idea.
If she said, hey.
Like if somehow she knows the proposal was coming up.
If he's gone to her as, because she's a bride's maid.
Can you help me pick out the ring?
Yeah.
What does she like? I want to propose to your best friend.
How should I do this?
And she's gone, you know what you could do?
You know what you could do?
We could do something with the bouquet toss.
Be a great TikTok video.
Yeah.
Go viral.
Also, great way to save money on your engagement party
because everyone's already there.
Well, that's true.
And there's a bar tab that someone else has paid for,
so you're good to go. Yeah.
Would you ever propose at someone else's
wedding? I would never do a public proposal.
Well, but
I mean, you could still propose at a wedding without
it being public. Oh, like
go off to the side and just
to a quiet space? Yeah. Nah.
Nah. I feel like it's
their special day. Yeah.
Because the day's not about your partner either,
like the person you're proposing to.
That's what I mean.
It kind of takes the shine off it for the person that you're proposing to as well
because then you feel like...
I feel like you've got to do something that's about you two.
Yeah.
It's just about the two of you.
I just don't like the idea.
You know?
Yeah.
I don't know what it is.
You're not supposed to do it.
You're not meant to propose at a wedding.
You're not meant to-
Announce that you're pregnant.
Announce that you're pregnant at a wedding
and you're not meant to,
there's one other, isn't there?
Spike the punch.
Just don't share any of your good news at the wedding, okay?
It is not about you.
It's just not nice stealing someone else's thunder, you know?
I just think there's so much time, money,
effort, and it's there
one day. Some people, they have more than
one, but you know what I mean?
The worst situation,
I think, is when someone doesn't even
tell the bride or groom about
it and proposes at the wedding. That
is a no-no. During a
speech. I would be
ropeable. It's one day. It day one day that gets to be all about
you i thought we could ask you guys oh 800 dials at m this afternoon have you been to a wedding
where someone else has decided to propose or even just did something to steal the thunder
yeah like a baby announcement or a divorce announcement.
Maybe it was not even a wedding.
Maybe it was like, you know, a big part.
Maybe it was someone's 30th birthday.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Or, you know, something that was a big deal
and someone else decided that was the spot to propose.
I reckon you can announce your baby news at someone's 30th birthday.
I think that's fine.
You reckon?
Yeah, it's just a birthday.
Get over yourself.
You know?
I just think, I mean, there's plenty of other days.
Who stole your thunder?
Who stole the thunder?
That's what we want to know this afternoon.
0800 dials at M or you can text us on 9696.
You can remain anonymous.
Bree and Clint.
Who stole the thunder?
It can be in a bunch of different ways,
but proposing at someone else's wedding,
especially if you haven't asked them,
is such a no-no for me.
Like, I would be ropeable.
Yeah, that's your day.
That is your day.
That's your day.
And you can just shush.
You're a guest.
You're here to celebrate me.
Exactly.
I get to be greedy on this day.
Also, think about the person that you're proposing to.
They probably don't want that.
They want their own day too.
Yeah.
So where are our Thunder Steelers at?
That's not what I thought it was going to be, that sting.
I thought it was going to be a thing that went...
I mean...
No, we're into it. I think it was better. Yeah. I think it was going to be a thing that went... I mean... No, we're into it.
I think it was better.
Yeah.
I think it was even better.
Let's talk to Josh.
Oh, there it is on the end there.
Hey, Josh.
Hey, how's it going?
Good, thanks, Josh.
Was it you that stole someone's thunder
or did you get your thunder stolen?
No, I had my thunder stolen at my wedding.
Go on then.
Tell us about it, Josh.
So it was my older brother.
He proposed to his now wife.
No.
Absolutely not.
Who was madder about it, you or your partner?
Probably me.
Yeah, because it's his brother.
Yeah, true.
So he can be even angrier about it.
Does your brother have a habit of making things about himself, Josh?
No, not at all.
He just had no idea.
He just had no idea that it was even a thing.
Yeah, yeah, okay.
What the hell is wrong with your brother?
How does he not know that that is not the place to do it?
What are you going to do at his wedding to get him back?
Oh, well, his wedding's been and gone, so.
Oh, you should have got too drunk and pulled your pants down.
That may have happened.
Yes, Josh, finally some revenge.
All right, perfect Thundersteel.
Let's talk to Anonymous.
Hello, Anonymous.
Hello.
Did you have your Thunder stolen?
No, it was actually my cousin.
She lives in Western Australia and she came over to Queenstown in the winter
and had this beautiful winter wedding planned with her fiancé.
Her whole family was down there, cousins, aunties, everything down there.
And then they spent a bit of time before the wedding in Queenstown doing all the fun stuff.
The older sister decided that she would get married.
So she actually got married two days in Queensland before sort of my other cousin.
No!
So she was the bride, you know, the matron of honour.
So hence to say she wasn't allowed at the wedding.
She ran a full surprise wedding two days before the main event.
Yeah, her wedding.
She only got married herself.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying. What a little bee.
That's
next level.
I would never talk to her again.
Did she get fully uninvited to the wedding?
She's not really communicating with the family right now.
Anonymous,
why do you reckon she did that?
Was she trying to upset, you know, was she trying to upset her?
No, I don't think she was trying to upset her, but upstage her probably, so.
Oh, God, that's so embarrassing.
That is next.
It was unbelievable.
That is next.
Unbelievable is the word for it, Anonymous.
Thank you.
That is actually ridiculous.
Can it get worse? Let's talk to another Anonymous. Thank you. That is actually ridiculous. Can it get worse?
Let's talk to another Anonymous.
Hello.
Hi.
Tell us, who stole the thunder, Anonymous?
Well, it was my wedding, and it's been 11 years,
and we're not together anymore, and it still kind of annoys me.
But my sister-in-law announced that she was pregnant.
Oh, absolutely not.
It's so rude.
We've been trying for a year
ourselves. Oh, no,
that is insult to injury. Oh, that's even worse.
I'm ropeable for you.
And it's 11 years ago.
It's 11 years ago. You're separated from her
brother, but you still haven't let it go anonymous.
Yeah, just a little. Yeah, just a little.
Yeah, just a little.
And you know what, Anonymous? Fair enough.
Was that like her,
was that their kind of personalities?
Like, would you expect it from them?
Or were you quite shocked? Oh, definitely.
Oh, definitely. Yeah, it's in the family.
Yeah. We were waiting to go
into our reception and we couldn't find them.
They were both bridesmaid and groomsmen.
Right.
And they had taken our photographer off to the side to have a little photo shoot.
To have their own photo shoot.
No, they didn't.
I burned those photos when they arrived.
You burned the photos.
Wow.
Good on you, Anonymous.
It's so selfish.
Like, just sit down.
Hey, thank you for sharing that with us.
We got a good giggle out of that.
We appreciate it, Anonymous.
Thanks, Anonymous.
You know what, Anonymous?
In 11 years, I'm going to think about this story
and I'm still going to be ropeable.
Bree and Clint from iHeartRadio.
This is the latest live from LA with Dean McCarthy.
Dean, this story's about Tom
Cruise, who has got a lot of
headlines recently for doing
things where people are like, oh, Tom Cruise.
Good dude. Bit of a weirdo, but
quite a good dude. What are you up to, Tom? And this is
another one of those. He's a good dude.
There is another one of those. Let me just set the scene for you.
He is giving all of his crew who worked
on his Mission Impossible series
tons of cash to the tone of millions of dollars all up
because, obviously, because of the strike here in Hollywood, right?
So the writer's strike has kind of ended,
but the actor's strike is still very much in full force.
In fact, it just took a step back the other day.
So what does that mean?
All these people in Hollywood aren't working.
Actors, production crew, because they're not shooting anything and they can't
promote anything. There are independent films and things that have been approved to film
but all the big stuff is actually paused. Tom has given crews
that he's worked with a ton of cash. But I've got to tell you something else about Tom Cruise. We have talked about this briefly on the show
before. You know, he held the release of Top Gun
to, he waited until cinemas were
open again after the pandemic.
And he is the reason that everyone went to the cinemas to watch Top Gun.
He, and I'm just going to say this, he's the reason cinemas sort of like still stayed around.
He inspired everyone to go back to the cinema.
He didn't go, he didn't put it on the streamer.
He made sure you had to see it in cinema. And it reminded us all how much we love seeing the movie in the cinema. He didn't put it onto Streamr. He made sure you had to see it in cinema,
and it reminded us all how much we love seeing the movie in the cinema.
He's just a good dude.
He's just a good, solid dude.
Steven Spielberg said that Tom Cruise saved the movie industry
with that Top Gun film and the way that he rolled it out.
Yeah.
This actor strike must be the worst possible timing
for the movie industry, though.
Like, the opposite of the Top Gun thing.
They're just getting back on their feet after COVID-19,
and now they've been shut down for, it feels like, the entire year, Dean.
Yeah, it's brutal.
I've got to tell you, it's brutal for a lot of people in my industry.
Like, there's no interviews.
There's no, I mean, there's red carpets,
but you go along and you watch it and the cast aren't even there.
They're not shooting anything.
And, you know, a lot of people in Hollywood,
a lot of actors in that don't actually,
when you look at the averages, don't make a lot of money at all.
Most of them don't make hardly any.
Do you think it's just a reflection of how bad it's been
and how much there is a need for change in that industry?
That's the reason why it's gone on so long.
That's the reason why it's such a big deal, you know,
and there's a lot of people in that industry
that obviously have finally said enough is enough.
That's right.
That's easy.
The reason it is so dramatic and drawn out is exactly that
because it is such a big deal.
It's something that we, like us and probably most of the listening,
don't even really know a lot about.
No, you think all actors are rich.
You think they're all Tom Cruise and Scarlett Johansson,
but it's not the case.
No. Well, there you go. That is the latest live Tom Cruise and Scarlett Johansson, but it's not the case. No.
Well, there you go.
That is the latest live out of Los Angeles
with our Hollywood correspondent, Dean McCarthy.
Brian Clint.
You and your partner, I already know the answer to this,
but I'm just going to check.
You guys have specific sides of the bed that you sleep on, don't you?
Correct.
Same.
Same as you.
Same as most people, I'd say.
Same as, I reckon, 99% percent of people i've been rethinking it
lately really there's a couple of reasons well have a listen to this advice that's doing the
rounds today weirdly the advice has come from a woman called amanda knox who you might know is
the woman who spent four years in an italian prison She was wrongly convicted of murder in 2007.
Of her flatmate, right?
Foxy Noxy.
There's a whole like...
I've watched a documentary on this.
Yeah, it's quite fascinating.
I don't know what her sleep credentials are,
but this post that she's done has gone viral.
And I think there might be something in it.
She wrote on X,
the correct way to sleep with your partner is to swap sides of
the bed every night. It's better for your body, especially if you spoon, as you'll be laying on
opposite shoulders each night. And it's better for your mattress to vary the indent pattern.
This is the exact points that I have been thinking about recently
because obviously it changes the way that you're going to be sleeping
and the side that you'll be sleeping on.
Exactly right.
As in the side of your body.
It makes sense.
Also just it's the difference between like flipping your mattress around
and stuff like that.
I feel like the mattress one is obsolete, though.
Do you?
Yeah.
Have you ever rotated your mattress?
All the time.
Rotate it.
Oh, you're fine then.
Rotate it like every couple of months, maybe?
I don't.
I'll rotate it like once a year.
You need to rotate it more.
And then when you rotate it, you're like, holy shit, this is like a brand new bed.
Exactly.
To get the most out of your mattress, you need to be rotating it.
But it's not going to make a difference
because there's still going to be someone sleeping on that side
regardless, you know, if you're swapping sides.
Yeah, but you've got different indents.
How?
Well, you've got different shaped bodies.
You've got different...
Oh, it's the same, same.
Everything's the same laying down, isn't it?
Nah.
Some people have got heavier booties than others.
Oh, it's much of a muchness.
Big boobies that push into the mattress.
Oh, my God.
You can tell that you know nothing about boobs.
Don't I?
No.
Don't I?
Have you ever touched a boob in your life?
Do you think a boob is going to cause an indent?
In my mind, I do.
Yeah.
Boobs are soft and lush and...
Right.
Cushy.
Okay, well, I'm out of my depth here.
Did you know that a UK study, they studied 3,000 adults
and they found that people who sleep on the left side of the bed
wake up in a better mood than people who sleep on the right side of the bed?
Do you reckon that that's actually true?
I don't know.
I don't know.
They said people who wake up on the right side of the bed
are more likely to wake up grumpy
and have a more negative outlook on life.
Are they saying right side when you're looking towards the bed
or when you're laying in the bed?
You're asking the wrong person.
I don't know left and right.
I sleep on the...
No, it's not about knowing you're left and right.
It's about, I'm saying, is it when you're laying in the bed
or is it when you're standing...
When you're laying in the bed.
When you're laying in the bed.
Okay, so when you're...
Surely, surely it's not when someone's standing and looking at the bed. is it when you're standing? When you're laying in the bed. When you're laying in the bed. Surely. Surely. It's not when someone's standing and looking
at the bed. Well, who knows?
Lying in the bed,
I sleep on the
left.
Left hand side.
Yeah. Yeah. Which makes
me... That took you way too long to figure
that out. I don't know left and right.
But I do wake up happier than my wife, so maybe
there is something in there. God, you would have really struggled to vote in the election.
I don't know left and right.
Yeah, can I have one just smack bang in the middle?
Got it.
Is that the opportunities party?
Anyway, do what you want with that.
If you're into it, you have to get your partner over the line.
That's the challenge.
Yeah, see, and that's the real struggle.
Just flip them while they're sleeping. They'll never know.
Bree and Clint. This is a brand new
episode of the Parenting Hangover podcast
out today. That's mine and How
To Dad's podcast for parents.
And today we're talking about piercings.
Piercings. What piercings you're okay with your kids
coming home with. What age.
What age. What age they can get
piercings. What body parts.
I got my nose pierced when I was 16 or 17.
We both agreed that that's fine.
We feel like that's fine.
Yeah.
We obviously do what you want.
It's your body, your choice.
It's an expression.
But as a dad, we'd be fine with that.
Yeah.
Interesting.
Very interesting.
Not so happy about other body parts.
But you know, it's on the podcast.
It's called The Parenting Hangover.
You can check it out.
I want to talk about first datesover. You can check it out.
I want to talk about first dates because first dates can really be stressful.
I haven't been on one for a long time, but I remember how stressful they were.
A lot of people blow out because they drink through the stress of the first date.
Which is not the best thing to do.
No.
I'd say two drinks, three drinks max on a first date.
Three drinks max. Three drinks max. Unless you're both going drink for drink. Unless it's a half an hour date, then you shouldn't drink three drinks.
Yeah. But I came across this. What if you get to the
end of the third drink and they get to the end of the third drink and they're like. No.
Another one? No. But then it's. No. No. No, no.
You'll make bad decisions.
I came across this article where a dating expert has shared what they think are some of the best questions you should ask on a first date.
Great.
So, let's go through some of them in case people listening might be getting ready for
a first date.
Or this might just be something good to take into the future.
So, the first one they say
uh you should ask them what they're passionate about oh okay um they said that you know it's a
good question and it will help you understand their priorities in life i'll be so confronted
by that question though like oh um yeah what are you passionate about?
Nothing really. Some people would go my job, which is a bad answer.
Depends on the job, I'd say.
Oh, yeah, true.
If they're a veterinarian.
Yeah.
Or if they're a marine biologist.
You can be passionate about your job.
I think that's okay.
Another question they said that is a good one to ask on a first date is,
who is the most influential person in your life and why?
Yep, good question You can get to know a lot about a person by who they admire or look up to
Like if they say
My mum
That's a great answer
Yeah, is it a good answer?
I think so
Like if someone said that to me
It would show that they have a respect for their parents.
What about you say, why your mum? And they go, oh because she does my washing and still
cooks my dinner. Okay, yeah, not so much.
The next one is, what book, movie or TV show has
had the biggest impact on your life?
That's a hard one to answer.
Could I answer that?
I'd probably say Love Island.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, okay.
You didn't say what type of impact.
Yeah, I'd probably say like Peaky Blinders
because it made me want to start smoking.
I didn't, but it came very close to starting smoking.
You did, however, start wearing those cheese grater hats.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, cheese cutter, not cheese grater. Same thing.
The next one is, what's your favourite childhood memory?
Ooh, Christmas. What, just every Christmas?
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Why? Because
joy, family, presents. They said,
see, they said this is a good question
because it provides insights into their upbringing, family dynamics
and the experiences that shape them.
Yep.
Which is a nice question.
Yeah, because if they answer and they go,
oh, favourite childhood memory,
probably driving dad home drunk from the pub.
Yeah, that gets a lot of information out there, isn't it?
It's good insight.
The last question they said, good questions to ask on a first date.
According to a dating expert, do you have any unusual or quirky habits?
Yeah, I bite my toenails.
I don't, but I'm just thinking of ones that would throw you off.
Why did that come to mind?
Because I need to cut my toenails and it's kind of front of mind for me at the moment.
I'm overdue
Well there you go
That's too much information
You're not on a date with me
Okay these are questions you can take into your first date
You would breeze through answering these questions by the way
I went on a date with a toenail chewer
Once upon a time
There was a girl
She was smart
Debatable Talented Athletic Not really Once upon a time, there was a girl. She was smart, debatable, talented, eh, athletic.
Not really.
But picking a movie title based on just the plot line,
that she can do.
Bree and Clint's What's the Plot?
Today we're offering $150 if you can do the unthinkable
and defeat Bree in watch the plot.
Saved it.
Someone texted and said, I did save it, eh?
You saved it.
100%.
Someone texted and said, there's no beating Bree at this game.
I lost like three weeks ago.
Yeah, that's why we're at $150.
Yeah.
Short memory, some people, eh?
I've lost a couple of times this year.
She's human, guys.
I'm only human.
She's fallible.
So Sharon's going to give it a go. Hi, Shez. G'day, Sharon.
Hello. You know your movies, Shez? Wait. Oh, kind of.
Kind of. Sharon, have you played before? No, I haven't played before, but I listen quite regularly. Okay. And how do you go when you listen
when you're playing along? Usually pretty good.
Oh, quiet. My advice to you would be when you're playing along? Usually pretty good. Ooh.
Quiet.
My advice to you would be this.
Quietly confident.
I like it.
This is a confidence game.
It is.
You go as soon as you feel like you have a sniff at knowing what it is.
That's what's going to get you over the line.
Okay?
Okay.
I'll read out movie plots.
You buzz in with your name when you think you know what they are.
Don't wait for me to finish the plot before you buzz in.
First one to two wins the game.
Today, quite a niche theme selected by producer Claudia, but I rate it.
Okay.
You know the dessert brand, Sarah Lee?
Yeah, Sarah Lee.
Do they make Viennetta?
No, that was Streets.
Oh.
Sarah Lee made the cheesecake.
My apologies.
Yeah. Sarah Lee made the cheesecakes. My apologies.
Yeah.
Sarah Lee.
The red box.
They're going into receivership.
Oh, no.
Yeah, it's over.
Poor Sarah.
So today, all movies with iconic desserts as part of the plot line.
Yeah, niche.
It's good, eh?
I like it.
It doesn't give away a lot, which makes it fair for everyone.
They're all big movies.
Don't worry about that.
Okay.
Here we go, guys.
Your names are your buzzers.
Movie number one.
What is this?
A group of friends fed up with their well-deserved reputations as sexual no-hitters decide to take action.
In a bid to end their-
Sharon.
Yes, Sharon.
American Pie.
Well done.
Yeah, that was good from you, Sharon.
Very good.
There is a warm apple pie in that movie.
That scene is so yuck.
When you think about it again, so yuck.
Okay, it's one to Sharon.
You have the upper hand, Sharon. Oh, God, I'm nervous, and you have the upper hand, Chaz.
Oh, God, I'm nervous now.
Okay.
Movie number two with desserts as part of the movie.
A Gifted Girl is for... Brie.
Brie.
Matilda.
Yeah.
Bruce's Chocolate Cake.
I mean, I wasn't thinking about that.
I just...
The first movie, it's so iconic.
Really?
I've watched it a million times.
You got Matilda from A Gifted Girl.
Yeah.
That's the whole part of the film.
Wow.
Maybe there haven't been enough movies about gifted girls.
Name another one.
Why is my brain going Billy Elliot?
There's not many.
A Little Miss Sunshine.
And it was worth a guess, even if it wasn't correct.
We're all tied up, Shaz.
Okay, it's down to the wire.
This is for the win.
Movie number three in our desserts-based What's the Plot?
A Southern society girl returns from college with big dreams of being a writer.
She turns her small town on its ear by choosing to interview the women who have...
Brie.
Brie.
Oh, what's it called?
Oh, the help.
The help is correct.
The chocolate cake made out of poo.
That's right.
The poo cake.
Dang it.
Hey, Shaz.
Oh, Sharon, you had me on the ropes.
That was a really good game,
and you're going to get 50 KFC chicken dollars
as your consolation prize.
Oh, cool.
Thank you.
Call back again sometime, Sharon.
I reckon you can take me.
Yeah, I think I can.
And I welcome the challenge.
Yeah, I think I can.
What's the deal with Airbnb cleaning fees?
You know when you rent a place,
you and your friends are going away for the weekend
and they're like, yeah, it's $700 or whatever it is,
and there's a $200 cleaning fee as well.
Yeah, what does that include and why do I have to take out my own rubbish?
Exactly.
If I'm paying a $200 cleaning fee.
How much should we have to clean if we're paying a cleaning fee?
Because what's the cleaning fee for?
Surely that's to pay cleaners to come in and clean the Airbnb.
Well, I know what part of it's for.
It's taking the sheets off the bed, putting new sheets on, towels, washing, that stuff.
But interestingly, so this is where Airbnb gets out of sync with other accommodations like hotels and motels.
You don't get charged a cleaning fee if you stay at a hotel,
or you do, it's just included in the price.
In the price.
But then Airbnb rates are sort of getting comparable
and similar to just staying in a hotel these days,
but you don't get, you know?
Don't get room service.
Everyone's picking their own price and their own cleaning fee.
A woman went viral on X this year.
That's what we're calling Twitter now.
She X'd.
Is that what we say?
Oh, God.
Because you tweeted on Twitter.
Just call it Twitter.
I'm not going down this route.
I agree.
It's Twitter.
She tweeted, I think Airbnb is over for me.
A host is angry with us because we didn't vacuum.
Mind you, we paid $185 cleaning fee,
stripped the beds and took the trash to the local trash centre.
Oh my God.
So what's the $185 for?
You're not vacuuming a place.
I'm sorry.
I'm not vacuuming.
You're not vacuuming.
Now Airbnb themselves have commented on this situation.
What they say about it.
Susan Wheeler is Airbnb's country manager for Australia and New Zealand.
Okay.
So this is good.
She's a big deal.
This relates to us directly.
She says that guests should not have to strip the bed.
They should not do the laundry or vacuum
when they're leaving their Airbnb.
Yeah, duh.
She said,
we think it's reasonable to ask guests to turn lights off.
That's fine.
To throw food in the rubbish.
Throw food in the rubbish from like the fridge, yeah.
Yeah, or if you did like a,
if you got one of those supermarket chickens,
don't just leave it on the bench, put it in the bin.
Who's leaving one of those on the bench?
I don't know.
Not me.
You animal.
And lock the doors, she said.
But that's it.
She said, throw your food away, turn the lights off
and lock the doors.
Nearly every Airbnb I've stayed in,
they expect you to take out all of your rubbish
and not just like expect you to take it to the nearest rubbish bin.
Refuse centre.
Like outside of the Airbnb.
Yeah, which is impossible because if you don't have a car there, then.
Me and my partner once carried our rubbish with us
because we couldn't find a bin.
See, that's not what I'm signing up for. We carried it around for half an hour couldn't find a bin. See, that's not what I'm signing up for.
We carried it around for half an hour trying to find a bin.
And if you rented it for a stag do, and there's like six dozen empties
there the next day, I'm not taking those on the Waiheke Ferry back to Auckland.
Also, if I'm paying a cleaning fee, I then, this is what I expect,
this is my expectation, because a cleaning fee can be quite expensive.
And if I'm paying that, then I'm not doing my dishes.
No.
No, I'll stack the dishwasher.
They always tell you to stack the dishwasher and put it on.
Which.
I get it.
But.
Yeah.
Like.
Depends how much the cleaning fee is.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Like, I'm not going to leave the place in a pigsty.
No, no, no.
But?
But I'm not doing housework.
Like I'll put all the dishes nicely.
I paid to stay there and I paid a cleaning fee.
I'm not doing the housework.
I think that's fair.
Do we sound entitled?
No, I think we've got the mood of the nation.
Do we sound privileged?
No, I think we've got it right.
Are we lazy?
Everybody stays in their B&Bs. Sometimes it's a cheaper option. You get your whole family in right. Are we lazy? Everybody stays in Airbnbs.
Sometimes it's a cheaper option.
You get your whole family in there.
The assholes.
I don't think we are.
Are we the problem?
No, Susan from Airbnb agrees with us.
She said just put your chicken carcass in the bin.
Why do you keep coming back to the chicken carcass?
That's what I think of with leftover food.
Bree and Clint.
Bree and Clint. Bree and Clint.
All I want for my birthday is a birthday banger.
Here we are, birthday banger time.
Number one songs on your 16th birthdays,
and we get to have a little muck around with the playlist here at ZM.
You have a go at this one.
Ella's
giving us a phonetic spelling of it.
Claudia, you did the phonetic spelling.
Claudia, that's the worst phonetic spelling.
That makes it harder.
You read out what you've written there.
It's Faida.
Faida.
That is perfect.
Well, you know, Claudia, because Faida told you her name.
Faida told you.
She's written it down for us.
F-I-Y-E-E-D-A-H.
I'd have to be on Clint's side for this one, I think.
Yeah.
Oh, you guys are ridiculous.
Faida, it is great to have you here on Birthday Banger.
How are you going?
Good.
Sorry about that family fight we were having in front of you, Faida.
I'm interested to know, though, where's your name from, Faida?
It's Egyptian.
Egyptian.
Say it cool.
And you blame Claudia for that as well, right?
Me, you and Brie, we all blame Claudia.
It's definitely her fault, hey?
Totally.
Yeah, okay, just as long as we're on the same page, Fayida.
Fayida!
What's your date of birth, Fayida?
What's your birthday banger?
It's 20th of October, 1992.
All right, mate, You were 16 in 2008.
And back on your 16th birthday, Faida, this was number one.
Eda.
Oh, my God, it is the perfect song for you, Faida.
Six on fire.
What do you reckon?
It's my 16th birthday. Yeah? It's my 16th birthday.
Yeah, that's your 16th.
It's my 16th.
Yeah, right?
You're 16 and you're like, I don't know what this song is about.
But I'm going to sing it now.
I'm going to sing it anyway.
Do you like it?
That's what's important here, Fahida.
Oh, it's great.
It's great?
It's a great song.
I think it's a good one.
I think it's a good one.
Okay, wait there.
We're going to do one for Natalie.
Hi, Natalie.
Hi, Natalie. Hi, Natalie.
Hi.
How's your week been, Nat?
Oh, it's been great.
Sun's shining, so I can't complain.
Can't complain.
You're spot on.
What's your birthday?
If we get a sunny Labor weekend,
I feel like it's going to heal all of my problems.
Oh, we're on.
Yeah, we're on, eh?
I'll feel gutted if we have rain again.
I'll be looking for a refund.
Yeah, I'm out.
If we have the same summer as last year, I'm going to write a letter.
To who?
Oh, I'll find someone to send it to.
Hey, Nat, let's crack on.
What's your birthday?
The 22nd of the 1st, 94.
All right.
You were 16, Natalie, in 2010.
Back on the 22nd of May, 2010, this was number one.
Tayo Cruz.
We love Tayo Cruz on this show.
Do you love Tayo Cruz, Natalie?
Oh, yeah.
I mean. Don't lie to us, Nat.
We like honesty. You wouldn't call
it a banger.
No, not for me, but
everyone has their own fix.
Yeah, fair enough. That's what we want, honesty.
One more for Aiden on 0800
dial ZM. Hi, Aiden. Hi, Aiden.
Hey, how's it going?
Whereabouts are you calling from, Aiden? Auckland. Oh, lovely. Have you been loving the sunshine Hi, Aidan. Hi, Aidan. Hey, how's it going? Whereabouts are you calling from, Aidan?
Auckland.
Oh, lovely.
Have you been loving the sunshine too, Aidan?
It's been pretty good.
It makes you feel better, eh?
Pretty bloody good.
Aidan, what's your birthday, mate?
21st September 2003.
All right, you were 16, my friend, in 2019.
And back on your 16th birthday, this was number one.
Post Malone.
He's here soon.
Yep.
November.
That's Circles.
Do you like it, Aidan?
Yep.
It's a good song.
Yeah, great song.
Posty.
Can't go wrong with a bit of posty.
Okay, wait there.
It's Six on Fire for me, for Faida.
It's Tayo Cruz for me.
Break Your Heart with Natalie.
Even though she broke my heart when she said she didn't like Tayo Cruz.
True.
Because she's in our bad books, we're going to Ella today.
Because Claudia's in our bad books.
Yes.
Poor Claudia.
She's copped it the last couple of days in a row.
Yeah, to be fair, I'm on Claudia's side.
That was easy. Well, then give her the deciding vote. No, no, give it back to me. Yeah, copped it the last couple of days in a row. Yeah, to be fair, I'm on Claudia's side. That was easy.
Well, then give her the deciding vote. No, no, give it back to me.
Yeah, what is it? I choose Six on Fire.
Yeah, boy.
Fyeda, you've won
Birthday Banger.
Oh, yay, that's exciting.
And you were the cause of the first family
fight for today's show, so
it's a win-win.
Win-win. Lap it up. Enjoy this.
This is your birthday banger coming out of the year
2008.
Oh, ouch. That hurts a little bit.
Brian Clint, this is Sex on Fire from
Kings of Leon on ZM.
ZM.
Brian Clint. I know the wild jingles Brie and Clint Zed and Brie and Clint, that's the Kings of Leon, Six on Fire.
From 2008 for Faida, that's the birthday banger.
I want to talk about this woman who says that she's going to dump her long-term boyfriend
over the gift that he bought her for her birthday.
That's quite expensive.
Oh, must be bad.
Must be bad.
I would say, because I know what the gift is, a very expensive gift.
But she still wasn't happy with it.
She's ropeable.
It can be really expensive, but still badly suited to you.
Didn't your dad buy your mum a Dyson vacuum cleaner for Christmas?
They might be listening.
The woman found out...
I saw videos on Christmas Day of him out there vacuuming his engine bay with it.
Yeah, he vacuums his car engines.
It's ridiculous.
Dad, if you're listening, grow up.
Grow up. The woman found out that her boyfriend had purchased tickets
and had fully planned to take her on a cruise for her birthday.
Okay.
Yep.
Family and friends thought that the gesture was romantic,
but she couldn't be more upset.
Yeah.
Why?
It sounds like a fun thing to do together to me
something about her that he knows is she suffers from horrible seasickness oh okay like really bad
seasickness so much so that she's been on a cruise before and she's like i will never ever go again
because i'm just so horrifically sick the whole time. So why would he book her a cruise?
She also said that he knew about this Renaissance Fair festival
that she had tickets for in the same week that he's booked the cruise
and she'd been looking forward to this fair all year.
Okay.
Whatever you're into.
She said that he loves cruises, is a big fan.
Yeah.
And she believes he's bought the gift for himself
and just said that it was for her birthday.
Do you think he also bought it so he didn't have to go to the Renaissance Fair?
I mean, I'd try anything to get out of the Renaissance Fair.
So I see where he's coming from on that part. I think it's a bad
gift. I think he hasn't read the room
well. It's very
inconsiderate gift. If you
have dated this person for a long time
and they suffer from really bad
seasickness, you would know that about them.
That's someone's worst nightmare.
It's like booking someone with
a fear of heights a skydive.
Yeah, like not a good know. It's like booking someone with a fear of heights, a skydive. Yeah. Yeah. Like, not a good gift.
It would be hard, though, if you, if part of your personality is you love cruises.
Then go with your mates.
And the person you've chosen to be with hates cruises.
But you go with your mates, though.
Can you?
Yeah, of course you can.
So you just go with your, no, because they'll all take their partners.
Nah, just go on a boys' trip.
On a boys' cruise?
Yeah.
Okay.
Because that would be a part of the compromise if he was like,
I love cruises.
But you don't buy it for your partner's birthday.
No.
That has horrible seasickness and says, this is a gift for you, my love.
No, no, no.
I'm not trying to justify his purchase at all.
Yeah.
I'm not.
I think he's mucked up.
God, I hate a present when you know
like it's, you know
that it's something that they really
want or
they get to go on something
and it's like their gift as well.
Or it's something that you both need
but it's like a bit bougie
and then you just play it off as
that's their gift. Yeah,
that sucks.
You're like, oh, don't go in the lounge.
There's a new lounge suite in there.
I got it for you.
With your name on it.
And I'm like, well, does that mean you're not going to sit on it?
Where are you going to sit?
A new TV fits in that bracket too.
Like if you bought your partner a new TV.
I bought you a new TV for your birthday.
No, no no no no
a man buying his
wife a TV
that's a gift for him
but she can buy him I feel like she can get away with
buying him a TV
well it depends depends on the people
yeah yeah true
like what if she's like a massive
sports fan and loves
sitting down and watching some games?
Well, so long as she lets him watch Selling Sunset
whenever he wants on his new TV, then that's fine.
What are some other gifts that are like, you know, in that category?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Tickets to the Rugby World Cup.
Tickets to anything.
Tickets to a concert?
Nah.
Nah?
That doesn't count.
If I know you want to go to Taylor Swift
and I buy us two tickets to Taylor Swift
that's a gift for you. Unless I hate
Taylor Swift and you love Taylor Swift.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's when it's not a gift.
Yeah, that's when it's not.
It's like if someone, you know, you're dating
someone and they love
Ariana Grande.
You know? Yeah. And so you, yeah, right. At the top end of it would be buying your partner and they love Ariana Grande, you know.
And so, yeah, right.
At the top end of it would be buying your partner a car that you really like.
And then being like, I'll drive it during the week
and you can have it on the weekends.
It's yours.
It's yours.
Someone on the text machine said,
I bought my husband a golden retriever puppy for his birthday.
I really love golden retrievers.
Perfect.
Perfect example. Oh, Andrew D retrievers. Perfect. Perfect example.
Oh wait,
Andrew Dale's at him. We want to know this afternoon, what was the present
that you got that was
really for them? Yeah,
what was the gift where you were like,
this is what you wanted.
Or, it was like partly
they benefited from the gift
as well.
Bree and Clint.
It's Eddie and Bree and Clint.
That's Ed Sheeran and Thinking Out Loud.
What was the gift that someone got for you, but it was actually for them?
These messages we're getting are so good.
There's some rippers like this one.
My ex-husband.
Notice the ex-husband.
Yeah. My ex-husband bought me tickets to Nitro
Circus for my birthday. I've never been into bikes at all.
He sat there yelling and yahooing through the whole thing. He told me
afterwards he was trying to be spontaneous. We're not together anymore.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
It's a special lady who wants nitro circus tickets for her birthday.
Someone said, before my husband and I moved in together,
I paid someone to mow my lawns.
It cost $20 a fortnight.
So he bought me a lawnmower for my birthday.
Oh, no.
Interesting thing was it still cost me $20 a fortnight
because I then had to get a wheelie bin.
Oh, no.
Let's talk to Te Awa.
Hi, Te Awa.
Hi, Te Awa.
Oh, man.
My partner.
What happened, mate?
Talk us through it.
Oh, you know, I was excited for our anniversary
and then he turns up home and he's got a little box for me
and it turns out to be a Playstation 5
remote controller.
You are kidding.
Oh, I'm not even kidding.
I don't even play the Playstation.
I don't have any interest in it.
That's so bad.
Did he think,
I'm trying to see where he's coming
from, did he think that you guys gaming together
could be a fun way for you guys to bond?
Yes, absolutely.
But we've also got two sons, two very young babies,
and I just do not have time to game.
He doesn't even have time to game.
Diawa, you'll love this text.
Someone else very similar to your situation,
they said,
my husband wrapped up the biggest present
under the Christmas tree
last year and kept telling me with the
lead up to Christmas how amazing
his present was to me.
I should have been suspicious.
And when I opened it on Christmas Day
in front of all of my family,
it was a bloody Xbox.
Since opening this present,
I have not played it once.
However, my husband plays it every day.
Oh, man.
That's exactly how I feel.
If you didn't ever want it and it was your gift,
you should not let him play it.
That's mine.
That's my Xbox.
Yeah, you need to ask my permission when you want to play it.
It's not just men who muck these things up.
Someone's texted and said,
my wife bought me a kitten for my birthday.
I'm allergic to cats.
Oh, that's such a bad gift.
She wanted a kitten.
She wanted a kitten.
Someone else said,
I bought my husband tickets to Pink for his birthday
because I wanted to go.
He packed up and left for another woman.
So now me and my sisters are going to Pink.
Jeez, that escalated.
That did escalate.
Jesus Christ. At least she still gets to go to Pink. Amy's here on 0800DARLSATM. Hey, Am pink. Jeez, that escalated. That did escalate. Jesus Christ.
At least she still gets to go to pink.
Amy's here on 0800 dials at M.
Hey, Ames.
Hi, Amy.
Hello.
Tell us, when was the gift that was for you really for somebody else?
It wasn't me.
It was a gift for my mother.
Yeah.
My dad, I feel like it was a substantial birthday, like a 40th, but I could be wrong.
Yeah.
I got her a John Deere ride-on lawnmower for the holiday home.
No way.
Yeah, and now every time he goes, oh, we have a ride-on lawnmower at home,
mum makes sure she corrects him and is like, no, I have a lawnmower.
Or I have a ride-on lawnmower.
Can I just check, and I think I know the answer to this.
Was your mum passionate about lawn care?
No, we just had like a football
sized holiday
home that needed my
care. Yeah, bad call
from dad there. Oh god, Amy.
He's like, do you even got a beer holder in there
babe? It sounds like a good lawnmower.
Yeah, of course
it did. They all do, thank you.
Someone, quite a few people are saying the definition
of when someone buys you a gift but it's actually for them is lingerie.
That's such a good.
Lingerie?
Yeah.
Not comfortable.
Or like an adult fun toy but they're like, let's get your prison out.
Yeah.
Is it my prison or is it out?
You know?
Yeah.
Someone texted and said, he bought me a Fitbit.
Oh.
Oh!
No, see, that's just a bad gift.
That's just a horrible, horrible gift.
Brooke's here on our $800.
G'day, Brooke.
Hi, Brooke.
How are you doing?
Good, mate.
Tell us, when did someone get you a gift, but it was actually for them?
It was my 25th birthday about 10 years ago. doing. Good, mate. Tell us when did someone get you a gift, but it was actually for them?
It was my 25th birthday about 10 years ago.
My ex-partner got
me the entire set of the Twilight books.
And, Brooke,
I'm guessing that you weren't an
Edward fan. No,
not entirely. No, he's more of a Jacob man.
He's more of a Jacob guy. I can hear it in his voice.
100% Jacob.
Did you read those
books, Brooke? No.
Not a single time.
But did she enjoy them?
Oh yeah, the first two weeks she'd finished
the first book. Yeah.
That was 10 years ago. Did that relationship work
out, Brooke? Oh no, no, no.
It certainly didn't.
Oh, God.
Shocked.
Yeah, when we went our separate ways, I didn't get the books, unfortunately. She kept the books.
No.
She kept the books.
Wow.
That's not okay.
They were given to you as a gift.
What's your favorite box, Brooke?
Very treasured gift.
That's your beloved Twilight set.
Oh, Brooke, that one's so good.
Thank you.
That's brilliant.
It's very funny.
Let's talk about sausages.
How good's a sausage?
Speaking of mustard.
I reckon sausage is one of my top three foods.
It goes sandwich, sausage, probably pasta.
Those are my top three foods.
That's a pretty good top three.
I thought so.
Yeah.
For 26 years, the GNZSC, or the Great New Zealand Sausage Competition, has- Wait, is this the Great New Zealand Sausage Competition
Wait, is this the Great New Zealand Sausage Off?
This is the Great New Zealand Sausage Off
For 26 years they've gobbled sausage
From around the motu
To find the best of the best
I'd love to be a part of this competition
Just hooking in to multiple sausages
You're a great sausage gobbler
I am a good sausage gobbler.
Always have been.
Depends how much sausage you could gobble, though,
because to find the 2023 winner, they ate nearly 650 sausages.
That's a lot of sausage.
That's a lot of admin.
Yeah.
116 sausage makers submitted 650 sausages tasted by just 17 judges
Those 17 judges, you'd have to roll them out of there
I reckon, you wouldn't be having the breed, eh?
They're not eating a whole sausage though for each time
It depends, what if it's the greatest sausage you've ever tasted?
You'd be like, give me the whole sauce
It would still be, because like how many
I'm going to take that whole sausage in my mouth
Wait, let's do the math on this.
So it's 617 sausages.
650.
And I'm assuming they'd have one bite of each sausage.
Yeah.
How many of like how many one bites make up a whole sausage?
Great question.
I reckon to get the taste of the sausage, you could only get five bites out of it.
Okay, so let's say five bites.
So it's 617.
650.
Oh, 650.
Divided by five.
Divided by five.
How many sausages did each of our judges consume?
Oh, my God.
If we've done the maths right, it's 130 sausages each.
Well, they've done their work.
They've taken their job very seriously.
That's not possible.
They'd have to do this over a week.
The greatest sausage.
You could do 100 and something sausages in a week.
In a week, I could definitely get my mouth around 130 sausages.
Claudia, we've figured out what our big radio challenge is for next week.
I'll bring in my Weber and you organise, what, 130?
130.
130 sausages.
130 different types?
Yeah.
I don't care what they are. I just want to see breed 130 sausages. I sausages. 130 different types? Yeah, yeah. I don't care what they are.
I just want to see breed 130 sausages.
Yeah, I'd appreciate 130 different types because...
Do you want to know what the best sausage is in the country?
What is it?
I feel like we're getting distracted from the real issue here.
But I mean, I think this is the real news.
No, the real news is where you can go to get New Zealand's greatest sausage.
Okay.
What's the address?
Sam's Butchery in Silverdale took out the top prize.
Sam's got the best sausage.
Sam's sausage is the best sausage in the country.
He won for his lamb delight.
Oh, I don't know about a lamb sausage.
Why not?
It's a very fatty sausage.
Exactly.
When I think sausage, I think beef.
I think pork.
Yeah.
And that's about it.
Pork is the ultimate sausage for me.
Yeah, you like it.
I like a bit of pork on my fork.
You like a porker?
Yeah, I like a bit of pork.
Like a good porking.
That's it if you want to go and get it from Sam's Butchery in Silverdale.
Well, I mean, if these people have tasted 650 sausages,
I think I need to rethink.
There was an interesting entry from Westmere Butchery in Auckland.
I've been to that
butchers. Yeah, they're very clever
in there. They're in quite a bougie part of
Auckland. They're great butchers. They have huge queues at Christmas
time. They submitted
a sweet orange jalapeno chicken
sausage, which sounds
interesting. Fun. It does sound
fun. I'm quite happy to hear this year there's
no weird winners like a chocolate
sausage or did you see those blue
sausages? I don't mind a chocolate sausage if it's
done right. Right, did you see the blue ones that
former Prime Minister John Key was
cooking on the weekend for the election? That's not okay
with me. That was a crime against sausage.
You need to go get that sausage checked
if it's blue. It's not
meant to be blue. Yeah, it looked like it was lacking circulation.
No? Anyway,
that's enough sausage news.
How many times do you reckon we've said sausage in this break?
Claudia, were you running a counter on that?
Sausage counter?
Did we have a final number of how many sausages we'd said in this break?
It was 130 different sausages.
130 different sausages.
Bree and Clint.
ZM Bree and Clint.
That's new music from Ed Sheeran.
It's called American Town from his new album,
which is called autumn
variations i think autumn variations because he's done he ran out of math symbols yeah yeah he could
have done pie yeah he could have done yeah yeah he could have done greater than and he could have
done songs that were all less than no he could have done an album called pie and then all the
songs were three minutes and 14 seconds.
Yeah, yeah, true.
You know?
Yeah.
That would have been smart.
Yeah.
Oh, missed opportunity.
You missed a big one on that, Ed.
He needs us on his creative team.
He puts out an album every six months.
He'll get around to that one.
We've got to go.
We're running from our studio across the road to the Sky City Theatre
to see Fletch Vaughan and Hayley live for the first time.
If you're not there already, boy, you're going to be late.
Yeah, you're going to be real late.
It's going to be happening. It's all moving.
It's great. If you want to register for it to come to your town,
you can do that at ZM Online.
And we will see you back tomorrow on the Brian Clint Show.
Ta-ta for now. I know you will.
Oh, you're not going to be here. I'm going to have a day off.
And Eli Mathewson's going to do the show tomorrow.
Eli Mathewson, because he's been booted from Treasure Island.
He's got some free time.
