For a few years, in the 1970s, the Mr Asia syndicate made millions.
Heroin creates its own market.
It acts like a form of play.
Until jealousy, betrayal and murder brought it all crashing down.
Then he just pulled out a gun, shot her in the back of the head,
and then said to Wayne, you're going to help me bury her.
This is Mr Asia, A Forgotten History.

Save like a boss with KFC's $9.99 Wicked Pack.
In a big haul at this year's feral cat killing contest in North Canterbury,
the hunt finished yesterday after two months,
organiser Matt Bailey says around 370 feral cats were killed,
with one hunter bagging 65 on one property.
Bree and Clint.

Thanks to the tool shed.
Kiwi owned, trusted by tradies.
Three, two, one, let's go!
Yeah, if you haven't heard this on our afternoon show,
we do it every day at around just after three o'clock
where we put the tradies versus the ladies together
in a bit of a quiz.
Yeah, daily quiz.
It's brought to you by the Tool Shed at the moment.
We've got a great prize from the Tool Shed.
It's LED light and 50 bucks cash up for grabs
if you're the winner.
But mainly it's about the bragging rights, to be honest. And we keep score for the tool shed. It's LED light and 50 bucks cash up for grabs if you're the winner. But mainly it's about the bragging rights, to be honest.

You got a little three-pack.
A little three-pack of toes.
Does that mean you can't wear jandals?
Um, oh, no, they're all right.
It's more like, um, you know, like the toe socks.
Yeah.
Are they cool?
Yeah.
They're painful.
Yeah, well, you're not missing out on too much with those toe socks,
to be honest.
Look, I think it's a good thing, Stacey, that you can't wear the toe socks.

Good luck.

Question number four.
Who did the Waz beat over the weekend at Mount Smart?
Yes, Stacey.
Oh, no.
I don't know.
Oh, no.
Ingrid, do you want to have a guess?
I know nothing about rugby.
Was it the Chiefs? No, wrong sport. Yeah, do you want to have a guess? I know nothing about rugby. Was it the Chiefs?
No, wrong sport.
Yeah, I don't know.

Bree and Clint.
How good's a long weekend?
Oh, I love a long weekend.
How good's a long weekend?
It's interesting when you have the Friday instead of the Monday.
Really is.
Because I keep going, what day is it?
Wait a second. Because I'm also less the Friday instead of the Monday. Really is. Because I keep going, what day is it? Wait a second.
Because I'm also less likely to party on the Sunday if we have a Monday off.
You just go, oh, I've got an extra Sunday.
But when you have the Thursday off, you're like, I've got an extra Friday.
Yeah.
That's kind of how I view it.
Oh, I went out on Friday night.
Did you go out on Friday night?
Yeah, it was a good day to go out.
Right smack bang in the middle.
Yeah.
Because then you had Saturday and Sunday to recover.
Exactly.
It was lovely.
You do tend to start a bit earlier on the Friday,
if you've got the Friday off work though.
Totally.
I went out on the Thursday.
Oh, look at you, party animal.
And I don't, just for context, I don't really go out much anymore.
It's a rarity.
It's a rarity, yeah.
And I lost a bet to my good friend Eddie, and the bet was...
The bet was that you had to go out?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
We put a bet on the Super Rugby final, because I'm a Chiefs fan, he's a Blues fan.
Oh, you lost badly.
Loser buys dinner.
Okay.
So I was like, that's fine.
Go out for dinner.
I can go out for dinner.
It'll be fun.
Go out for dinner. I can go out for dinner. It'll be fun. Go out for dinner with my friend Ed. And I said to my wife,
because I made the spare bed up
just in case I got home late,
but I said,
I won't be home late.
We have a dinner reservation
for seven o'clock.
Like it's dinner.
I'll be home by 10 o'clock
at the latest.
You're such a bullshit artist
because you said to me here
on Thursday,
when we finished,
you go,
I'm going out for dinner.
Yeah.
I'm going to have a big one.
Yeah, I know.
And you looked excited about it.
You were like, I'm going to leave my car here.
You'd had it all planned. I know because I get the bit between my teeth
and then all of a sudden I lose all perspective.
I guess that's what alcoholics are like, hey,
they have one drink and then it's all out the window.
You're like, party.
Anyway, went out for dinner and then went to like three bars afterwards.
Three bars?
Yeah.
Which is a lot for someone who doesn't go out.
Wait, I need to know.
I need to know.
You're in your late 30s.
What bars did you and your friend Eddie attend?
What bars?
Just some late 30s appropriate bars.
You went to Long Room, didn't you?
No, we didn't go to Long Room.
And then Revelry?
No, no, no.
And then you hit up Revelry and you're like, yeah.
No, no.
Those are all very trendy young people bars in Ponsonby.
Oh, my God, I just said trendy young people bars.
Oh, my God.
And then you ended on K Road, didn't you?
No, we just went to some bars, okay?
What bars?
I want to know.
Producers, do you want to know what bars they were?
Well, boning people in Auckland are going to know.
I went to Chapel Bar.
Oh, yes.
That's quite classy.
I went to Lime Bar.
Lime, okay.
And I went to Hopper's Bar.
Oh.
Oh, I've heard of Hopper's.
Anyway, before you know it, it's half past 12
and I'm standing outside
Hoppers asking some
Random guy if I can
Have a suck on his vape
No
That's when you call it a night
I left my car in the city
So I couldn't get to my car
So then bar party
Your weekend is designated
To try and get your car back
And I left my bag
With my laptop in it
And my sunglasses
And my car keys
At one of the bars.
Oh, no.
Yeah.
Oh, you had a big one.
I had a big one.
Yeah.
What bar did you?
I left it at Chapel Bar.
Oh, so they looked after it for you.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You're lucky.
Yeah.
You're lucky.
Do they put it behind the bar or something?
I called them and I was like, I left my bag there.
And they're like, don't worry, we'll sort it out.
Oh, you're so lucky.
I know. I know. And again, and when I'd done that, I was like, I left my bag there. And they're like, don't worry, we'll sort it out. Oh, you're so lucky. I know.
I know.
But this is, and again, and when I'd done that, I was like, oh.
Lucky you left it at a chapel because people are honest there.
Totally.
You know?
And then I went, that's why I don't go out.
Yeah, well.
That's why I don't go out.
You know?
Big blowout when you do.
Yeah, big blowout.
Bree and Clint.
Saying trendy young people bars is going to give me like the, you know, that it's like when you do. Yeah, big blowout. Bree and Clint. Saying trendy young people bars is gonna give me like
the, you know that, it's like when you give
yourself the act and you remember something that you've
said and then you wince up like that.
Trendy young people bars.
Oh, those are the trendy young people bars.
I go to trendy, I'm
a trendy young person, okay?
It shouldn't be that weird. Oh my god, you've made it worse.
You've made it worse.
Oh no, you're digging a hole.
I was saying to Bree off air,
because we're talking about my big blowout from Thursday night,
which I don't really go out anymore, and I went out,
and I've got a DM in my Instagram inbox
from some guy that I talked to outside one of the bars.
He was like, hey, man, I met you out on another night.
You were telling me about your podcast
and how you were looking for some help with it,
and I basically was help with it.
And I basically was networking with people.
Do you remember?
I remember.
But I didn't realize that I had gone as far as being like, let's exchange.
Yeah, add me on Instagram.
Thank God I don't have business cards.
I'd definitely be that guy. Oh, you would.
Anyway.
It's so funny because.
First day of dry July. First day of dry July. Yeah, how good. Anyway. It's so funny because... First day of dry July.
First day of dry July. Yeah, how good.
How good. Love it.
Good luck if you're doing it.
I'm not. I don't have a problem.
Have you seen the story about
the gummies in Australia?
No. You ever get on
the gummies? The gummies? Yeah.
Look, we
may have bought a gummy or two when we went to LA that time to chase Channing Tatum. You and Ellie got on the gummies? The gummies? Yeah. Look, we may have bought a gummy or two when we went to LA that time to chase Channing
Tatum.
You and Ellie got on the gummies over there, didn't you?
Look, Ellie and I were sharing a room.
What?
It's legal.
It is legal.
It's legal over there.
Yeah.
It's legal over there.
It is.
Well, this is not those.
Oh, they're strong, are they?
This is not those gummies.
Those were the CBD gummies.
These are mushroom gummies in Australia. I didn't realise that you could get mushroom gummies. Those were the CBD gummies. These are mushroom gummies in Australia. I didn't realise
that you could get mushroom gummies. No.
In Aussie at the moment there's a big crackdown
on these because they're putting people in
hospital, these mushroom gummies.
Have a listen to this.
A colourful sales pitch for
euphoria and calm.
But authorities say they've been putting people
in hospital. People have been unconscious.
Almost in a coma.
They're unable to be woken up.
This is a major issue. This can be life-threatening.
In WA, Laura Jones ended up in hospital.
So have five others in New South Wales,
three in Queensland, one in South Australia.
The common link, Uncle Frog's Mushroom Gummies,
made in the USA, sold online for up to $134 for a twin pack featuring either extracts
of the cordyceps or lion's mane mushroom and hemp.
Aren't we weird as a species where we'll just take shit?
We'll just be like, oh yeah.
I wonder what this will do to me.
Yeah.
I'll give it a go.
And if someone tells you that it has health benefits, you go, oh yeah, I'll stick that
in me.
Yeah.
That's fine. Oh, multivitamin.
Yeah.
Multivitamin.
Are all BS. Let's be real.
Bree's anti-multivitamin. Yeah, yeah.
Oh, just don't. Show me
the research. I saw this.
I kind of agree with you. I saw an article
on one of the news outlets on the weekend.
And it was
multivitamins do nothing for you
unless you have a vitamin deficiency.
And then, no crap, directly below it,
about two squares over, was a link that said
how multivitamins are beneficial to men.
And there couldn't be more conflicting advice
on the exact same screen from a big news service.
And they're expensive.
I wonder how much money they make.
Yeah.
They make so much money.
It'd be like a billion-dollar industry, multivitamins.
My wife's on the mushies.
She puts a scoop of mushies in her-
Lion's Mane?
Lion's Mane.
I saw on Jeremy Clarkson's farm.
He talks about it on that show.
She puts a scoop of Lion's Mane in her coffee each morning.
How weird is it that-
And she's fine.
Yeah, she's all right.
But I think that's obviously a reputable place she buys it from.
Or does she just go out into the woods and just pick mushrooms
and go, I'll ground this up?
Exactly right.
Because mushrooms are the weirdest thing.
There's three types of mushrooms.
There's psychedelic mushrooms that send you on a buzzy trip.
There's healthy edible
mushrooms which you put in your food and you eat.
And then there's the mushrooms that literally kill
you. And they're
just all out there. Just mushrooming
around. The biggest category is the
ones that kill you. Do you reckon
more mushrooms kill you than help you? I reckon.
Yeah. But they're all out there.
And you just pick them.
Yeah.
And you go to some vegan cafe and they're like,
do you want some on toast?
No.
They're wild field mushrooms.
And you're like, well.
How wild?
Yeah.
Are we talking?
I kind of want, if I'm going to eat wild field mushrooms,
I kind of want the chance of a psychedelic trip.
If I'm going to risk my life,
I at least want there to be, you know,
some sort of...
As soon as someone goes,
we found these out in the field,
we're pretty sure
that they're magic,
I'm like out.
I'm out.
And I'm like,
did the guy who picked them,
does he have dreadlocks?
And they're like,
yes.
And I go,
okay, sweet,
I'm fine with that.
Bree and Clint.
Hello, everybody.
It's Bree and Clint
We're going to have a round of Guess the Noise next
Which is a game that we play in the afternoon
But we're going to bring it to the morning
Yeah it's pretty easy
You'll join one of our teams
And you just have to guess noises
Faster than the other team
You'll need to be a bit switched on with it
Although I don't know what the noises are
Last week they were incredibly easy
Way too easy Like knocking on a door You'll need to be a bit switched on with it. Although I don't know what the noises are. Last week they were incredibly easy.
Way too easy.
Like knocking on a door.
Claudia was really phoning it in before she left for America for a few weeks.
Yeah, I mean, fair enough.
Knocking on a door.
She was like, I'm done with this. It made it sound like a radio station for dum-dums.
You know when something is too easy?
It was way too easy.
Brie and Clint. We've got a teammate for Brie? It was way too easy.
We've got a teammate for Bree.
It's you, Caroline.
Cue to Caroline.
Happy Monday.
Hi, Caroline.
Thank you.
Hi.
How was your long weekend?
Oh, pretty, well, a bit of housework and cleaning out stuff.
Yeah.
It's a bit like that, isn't it?
Get all the jobs done.
Yeah, nice.
Okay, good.
We've got a teammate for me now. Andy, you're on team Clint. G'day, Andy. Morning, mate. Okay, good. We've got a teammate for me now. Andy,
you're on team Clint. G'day, Andy. Morning, mate.
Hey, mate. How are we?
You have a good long weekend?
Yeah, sure.
Another round of COVID, but hey, we're all good.
No! God, Andy, I thought I had the worst long weekend.
You might top
mine, though. I saw someone I know
who got COVID on the weekend, too,
and they don't even know where to get rat tests from anymore.
Did you get a rat?
We had one left over in the cupboard,
which was like four days from expiry.
Oh.
And it turned out positive.
Well, congratulations, Andy.
Was it the whole household?
Yeah, everyone down.
That's all right.
And now we don't get another long weekend for ages.
You've ruined it.
Okay, Ella's going to run the game.
Hi, Ella.
Morning.
You know how you were ratting on Claudia for it being too easy?
Yes.
Well, don't rat on me.
I've done my best.
Oh, no.
The theme is, Claudia is, she's gone to the airport, she's on holiday,
so it's holiday airport themed.
You've themed it around our producer that's not here.
So that's strike one for you, Clint.
They're going to be nicely themed.
What a theme.
I think that theme sounds great, Ella.
I think it was really good when I loaded it in.
What was the theme again?
Going on holiday.
Yeah.
Holiday themed.
All right.
You need a holiday.
Relax.
Sorry. That was a good call, actually. 6.30 in All right. You need a holiday. Relax. Sorry.
That was a good call, actually.
6.30 in the morning.
No, you pay that one.
You pay her now.
Yeah.
Well done, Ella.
She roasted you.
You two start first.
Okay.
We will guess the noise first, and then Andy and Caroline, you guys will get a chance to
guess the noise, okay?
Yep.
Okay.
All right.
Hang tight.
Here's round one.
Three.
Far out. Are you kidding? I. Here's round one. Three. Far out.
Are you kidding?
I believe that's an aeroplane.
Correct.
I'm warming up to Claudia's new role.
Big girl Claudia.
I'm filling some boots.
Leave me alone, Clint.
I'm happy.
I've got a point.
Yeah, Bree's got one point.
Andy and Caroline, you ready for a go?
Yes.
All right, buzz in with your name.
Don't overthink it, okay, guys?
Here's your second round.
Andy.
Caroline.
Andy.
Yeah?
The intercom lady.
Call to the gate.
Yes, there you go.
Yeah, well done.
There we go.
I don't know how you got that, Andy, but that was amazing.
That was a nail in a, what's the saying?
Haystack, needle in a haystack.
All right, our turn.
Bree and Clint.
I think the saying you're looking for is you hit the nail on the head.
Yes.
Okay, Bree and Clint, this is your round.
Here we go.
My suitcase being zipped up.
Clint.
You didn't buzz in.
Clint, a suitcase.
Thank you.
Oh, my gosh, you got me.
Nice.
All right, positive attitude, positive attitude.
So, what are we at?
Two, one.
And Andy.
The Clint.
You need this one to keep us in it, Caroline.
Yeah, Caroline.
I'm leaving you.
Carrie Bree.
Let's go.
Caroline, Andy.
Guess the noise, guys.
Caroline, Andy.
Steam train?
Yep.
God, Andy is a savant at this game.
It's so good.
He's unbelievable.
He'd be good at Pluto.
What's a steam train got to do with going on holiday these days?
Sometimes you take a train to go to your destination.
A steam train?
Wait, who's catching a train to go on holiday?
People in Europe.
Oh, that's a good point.
You got me.
I'll pay that one.
Thank you.
You both did well.
But, Andy, we've got $50 cash coming your way.
Congratulations.
Awesome.
Thanks, guys.
Nice work, mate.
God.
Andy.
I shouldn't have said last week was too easy.
I cursed it straight away.
Yeah, you did.
I'll do better next week.
I think you did well.
Thank you, Brie.
You've got to build it with confidence.
Last week, one of the sounds was dog barking.
Yes. It's hard this game, man.. Last week one of the sounds was dog barking. Yes.
It's hard this game, man.
I think it went up a notch from last week.
We had fun and we laughed.
Something that's been coming up on my feed recently
is all these people documenting these rubbery fruits
that they're buying over in the States.
What do you mean by rubbery fruits?
Like the consistency is off.
Yeah.
Like it's quite like rubbery.
Like you can't really break it and it just isn't the right consistency for the type of
fruit.
And there's heaps of people now reporting different fruits in different parts of America.
Yeah, okay.
I mean, I sound like I've fallen down the rabbit hole.
A little bit, but I always, like, give it a chance.
Let's just talk about it for a second.
So one of the videos that's gone super viral is this mum
who purchased a watermelon at a Seattle grocery store,
and this is her talking about it because she gave it to her kids
and all the kids, like, brought the watermelon back in and said,
I don't want to eat this.
It's weird. I can't believe to eat this. It's weird.
I can't believe I got one.
I got a rubbery watermelon.
The texture is so weird.
You got to bend it so far before it will break.
And with the prices, this is like an $8 watermelon.
Jeez, I'd love an $8 watermelon.
Me too.
Watermelons in New Zealand are like $35.
A kilo.
It's just water.
So the rubbery fruit phenomenon.
So there's, I've looked into it.
Yeah.
The ones that have been reported, that watermelon.
Yeah.
A lot of avocados.
Rubbery avocados.
A lot of rubbery avocados.
Okay.
A blueberry.
Yeah.
A blueberry and bananas as well.
Rubbery bananas.
Yeah.
So I've done some research into the conspiracy.
Yeah.
So there's a few theories flying around.
The first one is a bit out the gate and it says that the government conspiracy
is that they're trying to poison the population with plastic food.
That one always comes up.
Yeah, that's the Kim Trail people as well.
Yes, yes.
Or this one where people said it's a negative side effect
of chemical fertilisers and pesticides used in the farming process.
Those people always get in there too.
Yeah.
Anyway, people are now, like, it's a big thing over in America.
People are worried about buying fruit.
Can I ask where you did your research?
Oh, just reputable sites.
Like, did you go and look it up on news sites
from trusted news organisations?
Or did you just go into the comments on the TikTok video
and then look for the blue comment
so you could click on that one that took you to the next video?
I mean, does it count if it was a news TikTok account
in their comment section?
What was the news TikTok account?
Was it CNN?
Was it MSNBC?
Was it even Fox?
I think it was BuzzFeed.
Right, okay.
No, I don't know.
I can't remember.
This is the problem these days, though, isn't it?
You could be 100% right.
I'm not saying that I'm right.
I'm just saying this is what's come up. I know, but this is... This is what 100% right. I'm not saying that I'm right. I'm just saying this is what's come up.
I know, but this is-
This is what people are saying.
I'm not saying I believe it.
I know, but because we all just watch TikTok now
and if it seems real, we go,
geez, that's wild, don't we?
It's just interesting-
And we only watch TikTok now so much
that they're literally turning off News Hub.
So-
Well, there's a lot of people saying as well
that people just don't know when their food's gone bad.
Oh, okay.
But, I mean, have you ever had an avocado?
Like if an avocado is gone bad, the last thing.
Yeah, there's only one way an avocado is good.
And it's not rubbery and bright green.
No, no.
Because that's what all these avocados look like.
It's going brown and disgusting.
All right.
Well, check your fruit, everybody.
Well, surely not here.
Surely not here.
Not here.
Yeah, yeah.
You think that I've gone crazy.
Well, I just don't know where you got your information.
I've never heard of this.
Look, to be honest, I was just trying to find something to talk about this morning, all right?
Bree and Clint.
Thought I'm too enjoy. ZM, Bree and Clint. Thought I'm too enjoying.
ZM, Bree and Clint, that is Zach Bryan and Pink Skies.
I keep seeing TikTok videos of people clearing out their grandparents' house
or like their family house set to that song.
So sad, eh?
Breaks my heart.
Yeah, and then they like splice in like photos of their family,
like having Christmas in the lounge room,
and then they take the photo away and then the lounge room is empty now.
And then they show how much money they got from Trade Me,
from selling everything.
Selling all grandma's shit.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, totally.
I think that's the vibe of the song.
Yeah, 100%.
Long weekend.
I feel like I should be way more rested than what I am.
I was telling you off air this morning, you were like,
how was your weekend?
I was like, I had the weekend from hell.
Because I've got two dogs and on Thursday night,
one of my dogs got very, very sick, violent.
I'd call it explosive diarrhea.
Explosive dog diarrhea.
Explosive diarrhea.
What concerns me about that is you have inside dogs.
We do.
Yeah.
We do have inside dogs.
And I'm not joking when I say I spent the entire weekend cleaning up poo.
Like just the entire weekend.
And I felt like I felt so bad for her because she's been so sick for, and I
mean she ended up going to the
vet hospital and she had to be admitted
and they don't really know what's wrong with her and then
we brought her home last night.
Anyway. Which dog is it?
It's the Whitney Houston, the little one.
Which is really unusual
for her because she doesn't ever get
diarrhoea. She's a small dog. Yeah.
But she's like got an eye, we call her iron gut. She's a small dog. Yeah, but she's like got an eye.
We call her iron gut.
She's got an iron gut.
Like normally she's completely fine, but she's just really sick at the moment.
And anyway, we took her to the vet and she got admitted on the Saturday night,
which gave us a chance to clean everything because like we've –
Oh, my God.
Don't come over to my house because –
You're so lucky that you have wood floors.
And so here's the thing, right?
We do.
So very lucky.
We do have, like, rugs in some of the rooms, as you do.
Ah.
And anyway, last night we brought her home from the vet
and I've set her up on the couch.
Like, there was a towel and a blanket and
like a puppy pad underneath yeah just in case because she's just you just don't know when it's
gonna blow and it was a real low point for me last night when I've set her up on the couch I'm just
trying to look after her because I just feel so bad for her she looks so miserable and I've set
her up on the couch and directly below my couch is
a rug, like underneath the couch.
What colour?
Like a light grey.
Typical
millennial over here. Everything's grey.
Anyway, last
night, she
at one point, you know what
it's like when you have diarrhoea, it can just
all of a sudden just come on like that
and you run to the toilet.
She was laying there next to me and she's asleep
and then all of a sudden she's like awoken
and it scared me because I was trying to do work.
She's like awoken and she's went to make a run for it
and I didn't want to grab her because I feel bad because she's sick
and so she jumped down onto the carpet.
Next minute I see what's about to happen,
and we've just cleaned everything.
Everything's been cleaned.
We had the Bissell out, and so.
She exploded on the rug.
Look, I may have caught it.
Oh, in your hand.
Did you cup the anus?
No, I didn't.
No.
How did you catch it then?
It's coming out like lava, like it's exploding.
I just heard an audible scream through two sheets of soundproof glass
at the idea of you catching the diarrhoea, by the way.
That is feral.
I'm not joking when I say it's probably one of the grossest things I've ever done.
Oh, Brianna.
But to be honest, I was in my partner's good books.
To catch you.
Oh, like, it was just, I just, you know, like, I don't know.
It was just my reaction.
I just cleaned everything and I was like, oh, just, it wasn't much.
Bri's making the two-hand cup.
Yeah, two hands.
So is that how you caught it?
I'd say it's like, you know, like a wicket keeper.
I've caught it on the angle.
So let's roll this forward.
You now have two hands full of dog shit.
What do you do?
What do you do next?
Well, then I had the problem where I didn't know what she was going to do.
No.
But then obviously I'm incapacitated.
You can't even open a door to go outside and throw it in the garden or anything.
Luckily, the door was open to the lounge room,
so I've just walked into the bathroom.
Yeah.
Oh, my gosh.
And then turned the tap on with my elbow.
You washed dog diarrhea down your sink.
What else was I going to do?
Put it in the toilet?
So many other options.
It wasn't enough.
Like, it wasn't enough.
I'm not saying I caught, like, a big handful.
Like, it was just a little bit because she's been so sick.
I mean...
Ew, that's the basin you wash your face in.
You need to detox that sink.
Yeah, yeah, I'd go to the laundry tub or...
We could clean a sink.
Do you think you could...
You know how you have a designated vomit bowl?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm sorry to say, like, never use that bowl for anything else,
but could you start using a designated...
Dog poo bowl.
No, Ella, no.
No, I just feel like...
And then have a pack of chippies out of it afterwards.
Ew, no, no, not for food.
Oh, every family did that.
Let's be real, every family.
Yeah, but not for food.
Look, it was a low point, but it's what you do.
You save the rug.
I save the rug. And you're caring for your loved one.
Exactly. My poor
diarrhea little explosive
loved one.
We just played Zach Bryan before, by the way.
I just saw on TikTok that he got the
Hawk Tour girl on stage.
He found her and got her up on stage.
What is the world, eh? I know.
And now she's doing Zac Bryan concerts.
Talking about this girl here.
Better give him that hock tour and spit on that thing.
And all she does is walk out.
She's holding a beer and she's holding the microphone
and she says something that you can't even understand.
She's like,
And the crowd's like,
Yeah, this is a hock tour girl.
She's had some free drinks, eh? Oh, a few. Can you imagine? like, yeah, there's a hot tub girl. She's had some free drinks, eh?
Oh, a few.
Can you imagine?
Yeah, yeah.
Everyone would be buying that girl a drink.
Yeah, totally.
I'll buy you a drink.
How long does it last?
I wonder with that stuff too.
Well, I mean, I literally watched a thing the other day
on the Walmart yodeling kid.
Is he still going?
Yeah.
Yeah, right.
He's had quite a bit of success.
Have you heard him since he went through puberty?
His voice dropped?
No.
Sounds like a completely different person, I mean, as people do.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But his singing voice after they dropped is quite lovely.
The first presidential debate of the 2024 US election went down on Friday
between Trump and Biden, and boy, it was bad.
What a disaster.
What a disaster.
Like absolute train wreck.
Who would have thought that Donald Trump wouldn't be the most talked about thing?
Exactly right.
You know, it's taken all of this limelight and pressure off him
because of how Joe Biden appeared.
How bad it was.
Yeah, in the debate.
For reference, Trump is 78, so he's no spring chicken.
And Joe Biden is 81.
Not that age should exclude anybody from anything,
but I feel like this time it probably should, unfortunately.
And it's not even age.
It's just someone who doesn't look like they are up to it.
Well, when you're questioning, and not to sound, you know, a bit morbid,
but when you're questioning whether they will last the entire term.
Well, that's such a good point.
It's probably not the best candidate, is it?
The election is not until November, so it's still four months away.
Joe Biden's birthday is in November.
He'll be 82.
And if he completes the presidential term, he will be 86 by the end of it if he gets re-elected.
This is what everyone's talking about.
This is a clip of Joe Biden speaking in the debate over the weekend.
We'd be able to wipe out his debt. We'd be able to help make sure that all those things we need to do,
childcare, elder care, making sure that we continue to strengthen our healthcare system,
making sure that we're able to make every single solitary person eligible for what I've been able to do with the COVID,
excuse me, with dealing with everything we have to do with,
look, if we finally beat Medicare.
Thank you, President Biden.
And then the guy just reps him up, the guy hosting the debate.
Thank you.
I think the guy felt bad for him, you know.
Because normally, you know, the host,
their job is to push them.
Yeah, 100%. And they push each other.
And they push each other.
And in the past, Trump has yelled over people.
This time he just let him go.
And then at the end, a couple of times,
Trump just went, I don't know what he said.
I actually don't know.
I actually don't know how to reply to that
because I don't know what he just said I actually don't know. I actually don't know how to reply to that because I don't know what he just said.
Do you have audio of...
Yeah.
So this is a clip that Russell Brand actually put out.
Another questionable source.
But anyway, the video is out there.
And it is audio of Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential election.
So four years ago.
Actually recorded in 2019. But yeah, so the last one, four years ago. Actually recorded in 2019, but yeah.
So the last one, four years ago.
And then you can hear it cut between that and now.
I don't even need to tell you which one is which.
It starts with four years ago.
And then goes to the one that's just happened over the weekend.
It will go back and forth.
Have a listen.
Continue to think we have to make fundamental changes in civil rights.
And those civil rights, by the way, include not just only African-Americans,
but the LGBT community. He wants to get away with it, get rid of
the ability of Medicare to for the ability to for the. I did not oppose
busing in America what I opposed is busing ordered by the Department of
Education that's what I opposed. Making sure that we're able to make every single solitary person
eligible for what I've been able to do with the...
That's enough.
I just...
And I feel like I've seen a lot of Americans commenting on this.
I just can't understand that how in a country as big as America...
And is it smart, intelligent, wealthy?
I mean, these are the best.
These are your best and brightest.
These are the two.
Yeah.
Like, are you joking?
I know.
Like, we can't find anyone else.
I know.
But then a lot of people felt the same about the New Zealand election.
Not to the same degree, but they're like, really?
Is this all we've got?
Is this it?
From the whole country.
This is the best.
We don't have anyone else.
This is the best we've got.
Interestingly, George Bush and Bill Clinton,
former presidents,
both gave a talk together before this debate.
They are both, get this,
this will blow your mind.
George W. Bush and Bill Clinton are both younger than Trump and Joe Biden.
And they both said during that talk, they said,
we are too old to be president.
And we're younger than those two.
That's wild, eh?
It is.
It is.
I don't know.
Yeah, I wonder what's going to happen.
So my prediction, not that anybody asked,
and not that we want to turn this terribly political,
I think they'll replace Joe Biden this week.
I think they have to.
Which means...
Yeah.
That's quite late.
Yeah, which means...
Which means...
Who knows what's going to happen.
I don't know who else is watching this, but America's Sweethearts is this doco that is
about the Dallas cheerleaders.
Oh, I've seen the trailer for it, yeah. The Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders or the DCC as they call them
and I am entranced.
Really?
I'm obsessed.
I can't stop watching it.
It's one of the most, I mean, it's so toxic.
Is it?
Oh, it's so toxic.
Like essentially they follow for one season this group of cheerleaders
because they change them every season.
They have to fight for their spot every season.
Right.
They have to retry out.
So it kicks off where they go to tryouts and they watch, you know,
what these women go through to make the team and then what they, you know,
have to do to stay on the team and all this stuff that they do
for the organization
but something that really stood out to me was they talk about it and how much they get paid
as a dallas cowboys cheerleader yeah okay i've got a little bit of the trailer here if you haven't
seen it uh this is uh on netflix and it's called america's sweetheart beautiful classy feminine
everything would be perfect
if I were that woman.
It's a lot of pressure
every single night.
Our job is to make it look easy.
Since I was little,
Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders,
that's what I want to do.
One, two, three, DCC!
Woo!
This is what training camp is for.
Some thrive.
Some buckle under pressure.
Some kind of disappoint.
Your left kick won't make this team.
We're making cuts tonight.
You are not in the top 36 right now.
We're angry and we're emotional.
Brutal.
Sounds like that showed cheer.
Yeah, kind of.
But, like, this is, I don't know,
it just goes into the history of the Dallas cheerleaders
and all this stuff that comes into it.
But the biggest part that stood out for me when I was watching it,
they talk about how much they get paid.
Oh, okay.
And it's now coming out since this documentary,
all of these past DCC members are coming out
and talking about how badly they were
treated. But I've got this clip of this woman. This is a few years ago. She used to be on the
team and she talks about how much she was paid. My first year on the team working for the Cowboys,
I made approximately $5,000 and the highest that I ever made my third year on the team was $16,000.
Let's break it down even more.
She says the Dallas Cowboys paid cheerleaders $8 an hour to practice when she was on the team.
And on game day, only gave them $200 a piece.
What?
So in the doco, they talk about, because that was a few years ago from an ex-cheerleader.
So in the doco, they talk about how they were paid as little
as about $22,000 per year whilst on the team.
For a full year?
This is a full season.
Okay.
Yeah, and then I've done some calculations because this just enraged me.
Yeah.
It enraged me so much when you look at how much that organisation is worth
and how much they profit off these women.
Like these women do calendars that they sell.
They send them to all these like appearances and do all these things.
They make Netflix shows about them.
And they pay them absolute peanuts.
So the Dallas Cowboys are valued at around $9 billion.
Wow.
Last season they spent about $220 million in payments to the players.
Yeah.
So the people who play on that team.
Anyway, the part that made me so angry was this woman in the doco,
she's the daughter of the guy who owns it, who owns the Cowboys.
Anyway, when they talked about how much they get paid,
she says, and I quote,
there's a lot of cynicism around pay for NFL cheerleaders,
as it should be.
They're not paid a lot.
But the facts are they actually don't come here for the money.
They come here for something that's actually bigger than that to them.
What a load of BS.
That's the old carrot of you're lucky to be here.
This is the opportunity of a lifetime.
There's a million other girls who'll do it for a lot less.
That's exactly right.
And they're like, you don't know where this could lead.
No, no, I know.
This is the end.
This is where it's leading to.
Exactly.
All roads lead to this.
It's so interesting in the doco.
All these women work all these different jobs just to make rent.
And then this is like a full-time job as well.
And they don't pay them anything.
Producer Ellie, you've watched bits and pieces of it too, eh?
Yeah, I need to stay calm.
It's wild.
Because I don't understand.
She pretty much goes on about, you know, it's a privilege to be here.
It's for exposure, blah, blah, blah, blah.
The daughter of the owner says that.
Exactly.
But you could say the same thing about the players.
They're lucky to be playing.
And in my opinion, the cheerleading is just as much a sport,
it's just as much art.
You should see how athletic these women are.
It's a full-time job.
If you're fronting a brand like that, yeah.
They're making so, the thing that drives me insane
is they're making so much money.
Like, it's a whole brand in itself, the DCCs.
Yeah.
This is a hospital pass, this documentary.
Yeah.
They would have thought it would be great branding.
They would have thought this is like the drive to survive for the Dallas Cowboys.
But actually, they've been completely called out.
They've outed themselves.
I can't believe how they couldn't see how toxic and how bad this is going to come off for them.
Yeah.
Hopefully, this doco, it means there's some changes in that organisation.
Jenna's here.
Hi, Jenna.
Hi, Jenna.
Morning, guys.
How are you?
Good, thank you, mate.
Are you overpaid or underpaid, you reckon?
Oh, look, I'm a teacher.
I reckon we're all underpaid.
Underpaid.
Yeah, right.
Yeah, so it depends who you talk to and where you are on the scale.
But even if you're top of the scale, I truly believe for the work we do, for the stakeholders there are, you know, the fact that we've got 25 to 30 kids in our classroom.
We're looking after their academic needs, their social, mental, everything, their health needs on a day-to-day basis.
Yeah, totally.
You do a lot more than just teaching.
You're like doing everything. It's a lot more than just teaching. You're, like, doing everything.
It's so important.
I just Googled it.
It says between 65 and 85K for a teacher in New Zealand.
Is that about right?
No.
The top salary now, I think, in the new collective is about,
I think from memory, will go to 90.
Oh, no.
We might even reach 100 off the top of my head.
But I did some math.
That's like head of department or something.
Yeah, totally.
All right, well, up the teachers.
That's really good perspective.
Thank you, Jenna.
Let's talk to Anonymous.
Hi, Anonymous.
Hi, Anonymous.
Hi.
You overpaid or underpaid, Anonymous?
Completely underpaid.
Oh, no.
That's not what we want to hear.
I think everyone's going to say that this morning, though.
What do you do, Anonymous?
Well, I've left it now because I saw the light.
Yes.
But I was paid $61,500 to be essentially a marketing manager, art director.
But my title was graphic designer.
Oh, but they made you do everything.
Yeah.
Yeah, I feel like graphic designers always get pulled into that
where they're doing a million different things
and they're dealing with people.
You're just the young person who knew how to use Photoshop,
hey, Anonymous, and they're like,
oh, you're the marketing manager now.
Yeah.
You can run all of our social media.
You can take the call if it's not successful.
God, what a load of BS.
Another Anonymous call.
Hi, Anonymous.
Hello, how's it going?
Good, thank you, mate.
Overpaid or underpaid?
Underpaid. Underpaid.
Underpaid.
What do you do?
I'm a calf rearer and I get paid $24.75 an hour.
No way.
A calf rearer?
You're raising baby cows.
I am.
It's actually really hard work.
What time did you start work this morning?
I'm just on my way there now.
Oh, yeah, okay.
And how many years experience do you have, Anonymous,
getting that paid, that kind of money?
Seven years.
Wow.
Seven years to be on close to minimum wage.
Yeah.
That's so disappointing.
Do you reckon there's other people in your industry
who are making good money anonymous
or it's all kind of the same across the board?
No, I think there's people that do make good money.
Like if I have a look online,
there's jobs advertised for like $35 an hour.
Okay.
Well, here's the other end of your job spectrum.
So you're raising the calves.
We've got a text in from a freezing worker who says,
I cut up cattle and I make 110 grand a year.
Oh, yeah, nice.
They're cutting up the things that you spend all your time raising
and they're getting paid more than you.
Yeah.
Put all my effort into. Yeah. Wow. That's what all my ears fit into.
Yeah.
Wow.
Thanks, Anonymous.
We appreciate it.
Someone said, I'm overpaid as a tyre fitter in Queenstown.
I earn $35 an hour.
How good.
That's pretty good.
And how good you can admit to being overpaid as well.
Yeah, I love it.
I love people that are like, I can admit that.
I'm overpaid.
Bree and Clint. I think anyone that has to plan a proposal,
I feel bad for because I feel like there's so much pressure on you guys.
Yeah.
Like, anyone that's had to plan a proposal before,
I feel like there's so much stress and anxiety that goes into it
that I can't sympathise because I've never done it,
but I can just imagine.
So let me just pre-empt this story by saying that
because there's a woman who has asked the internet for advice
because she is quite upset, quite disappointed in her proposal.
Okay.
So here's what happened.
Here's what went down.
So apparently she said that they,
her and her partner,
had been together for a couple of years
and they had just been indoor gardening.
Oh.
They'd just spent some time.
They'd just done the thing.
Spent some time indoor gardening
and then they were getting ready for bed.
They'd laid down in bed, getting ready to.
Were they not already in bed?
Well, I think they went and brushed their teeth and maybe came
back and laid down in bed. I don't know.
Geez, they did it before brushing their teeth? I wasn't there.
Okay.
I'd probably brush my teeth after.
Really? Yeah, then you're
good to go.
That was weirdly intimate.
Usually out like a light, but that's okay.
Yeah.
There's something I didn't think I'd be picturing on a Monday morning.
But here we are.
Anyway, she said, you know, after they were about to go to sleep,
her partner has leant over and said, you know,
I really want us to be engaged by the end of the year.
How about we go shopping for a ring over the summer?
Oh, yeah.
Okay. end of the year. How about we go shopping for a ring over the summer? Oh yeah, okay. And she
said it's not how she
pictured being
proposed to where
it was just, you know, a bit of a
thought just before you're going to sleep
and he just kind of throws
it out there and says
oh, you want to go shopping for a ring on the weekend?
I get it. It's a bit
procedural. Is that the word? You know, like you weekend? I get it. It's a bit procedural.
Is that the word?
You know, like you're just following a process.
There's not much romance, maybe.
But on the other hand, on the other hand,
I do think it's lovely that he's obviously thought about it.
He's throwing out commitment.
He said you can pick your own ring, which I think is a nice touch because sometimes
you know. Also
he was in his happy place, you know.
The thing had just finished. The endorphins. Yeah.
He had that clarity that comes.
But I get it.
If she had always fantasised about the one
knee and the beautiful location
and even just being able to see
the ring, you know. Yeah.
Like someone.
Slightly more effort.
Yeah, like just a little bit.
My mum loves to roast my dad for how underwhelming his proposal was.
He said they were out for dinner.
They were at a restaurant.
And he said, how long have we been together now?
And she said about three years.
Oh, no. And he goes three years. Oh, no.
And he goes, oh, I guess we should get married then.
Oh, God, you sweep me off my feet.
His words were, I guess we should get married then.
I've never.
It worked though, didn't it?
It did.
Hook, line and sinker.
40 years later, they've just had their 40th wedding anniversary.
Oh, well, there you go.
He's done something right.
Take notes, fellas.
I've never asked my dad, who is a strapping Italian man, how he proposed.
Oh, we've got to ask your mum on.
We've got to ask your mum.
Surely it would have been romantic.
He's Italian.
Yeah.
But he's also a busy farmer.
Yeah.
I've never asked.
I've never heard that story.
Can we get her on?
What time does she get up?
Oh, it'd be early over in country Queensland.
Yeah, okay.
It'd be six in the morning.
Yeah, well, what time do farmers get up?
Oh, she probably would be at, my dad.
I can call my dad.
He'd be awake.
Good morning, guys.
How are you?
We thought you'd be up this early because you're a bloody farmer now.
Of course.
Always.
Always.
Dad, I've never asked you, how did you propose to mum?
Were you romantic or did you just kind of, you know, was it underwhelming?
Oh, come on.
I'm Italian.
Of course I was romantic.
How did it go down, Dad?
What did you do?
Oh, you've got to remember, we were very young.
We were very young and I guess it probably wasn't that romantic.
Sounds like excuses to me.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Sounds like you're remembering it more romantic than it was.
Did you get down on one knee?
Surely.
Yes, I did.
Did you have a ring?
No, didn't have a ring.
Dad!
No, no, no.
Well, I wanted to make it so that Mum had something that she really wanted.
So, look, I'll tell you the honest truth.
You know what actually happens?
I had to go and ask Nan's permission first.
So that was the hard part.
Yeah, the gatekeeper, Mum's mum.
She said yes, and then what?
She said yes, and then what? She said yes, and then, yeah, we went out for dinner,
and I got down on one knee after dinner and asked her,
and she said yes, so it was good.
So, yeah, it wasn't that romantic.
What type of food was the restaurant you took her to, Dad?
Italian.
Oh, that's nice.
Oh, well done.
Well done.
At least there was dinner involved.
That was a pretty underwhelming one, yeah, when you think about it. I mean, no, it's nice. Oh, well done. Well done. At least there was dinner involved. That was a pretty underwhelming one, yeah, when you think about it.
I mean, no, it was nice.
You did the right thing.
Pretty underwhelming for an Italian.
How many years, though, Dad?
How many years have you been married?
43.
I guess it's underwhelming because you talked it up and you're like,
guys, come on, I'm Italian.
I laid down rose petals.
I got completely naked.
And I rode across my body with chocolate.
Let's face it, I'm Italian, but I'm a farmer.
So it wasn't that great, I must admit.
He's busy, yeah.
I mean, that's true.
Lucky you got down on that knee while they were still working, Steve.
That's the main bit, right?
That's where you're right.
Don't worry, they were very good. That's Bree's dad,, Steve. That's the main bit, right? That's where you're right. They were good, Ben. Don't worry. They were very good.
Thanks, Dad.
That's Bree's dad, Big Steve.
We want to talk about
some actual
underwhelming proposals.
Kylie's here.
Hi, Kylie.
Hi, Kylie.
Hi.
Tell us,
how are you doing?
Good, mate.
What was the proposal
so underwhelming?
So my husband,
my now husband,
he spent a whole week
preparing.
We went to the coast.
He's like,
oh, I've got a question
to ask you.
You want to get out of the car?
And I'm like, that's not really how it goes.
And then he spent the whole week
down on one day picking up a beer or
picking up something off the ground.
I like it. I like it.
A whole week of preparing. And we went to
a night out with some friends and he had a few drinks
and he just said, you want to?
You want to what? You know.
You want to? Oh, no!
14 years later,
two kids and we're still together. There you go.
But it's just a highlight.
It's just so funny when other people sit here
and it's like, it's just a whole
week that's gone on my knee. But it sounds fun, it sounds fun
and it sounds like it suits you guys, is that fair?
It does. Yeah. That was awesome, like, even
though it's like, oh, well, you know, it could have
done a bit better, but. Yeah. I quite like the banter in the lead up to it, Kylie.
The whole week.
Yeah, that's awesome.
The whole week it was down on my knee.
Because you can go quite hard out, but if it's not your style,
then it's going to be weird, isn't it?
It's weird, yeah.
Let's talk to Anonymous.
Hi, Anonymous.
Hi, Anonymous.
Hi.
Did you get an underwhelming proposal?
I did.
It was my ex-husband.
Okay.
We'd been together five years
and he came home rolling
drunk one night and said
I've decided we're either
getting married or we're breaking up.
What? Wait, he said that to you.
We either get married or we break up.
Your proposal was
an ultimatum. Yeah, if I
didn't accept the marriage, then
we'd break up. Oh, that was doomed from the start.
Wasn't it anonymous? So did you accept?
Well, yeah, I did because he was
my ex-husband. So yeah, we did
get married. But no longer.
And then obviously the relationship
broke down. Did he say
in the end, you know, we either get
divorced or
we renew our vows?
No, he went and had an affair
with his boss.
Yeah, that's another way of doing it. That was our second option.
Well, he sounds like an a-hole.
Thanks Anonymous, we appreciate it.
Vanessa, did you get an underwhelming proposal?
I, um,
yes, I did.
So, the story is that
it was coming up to my birthday
and my partner, or fiancé, asked if I wanted my birthday present early,
which, of course, I said yes.
And we were just standing in our hallway,
and he pulls a box out of his pocket and throws it at me.
Oh, my God.
Wait.
So he goes, oh, here, have this.
Yeah, literally, here you go.
Chucked it at you.
That's what every girl dreams of, isn't it, Vanessa?
Yeah, I caught it, so that was the main thing.
And did he say anything, or he just was like, oh, well, you know what that means?
Yeah, yeah, that was pretty much it.
I opened it, and I was like, wait, wait, what?
Yeah.
Oh, my God.
Yeah, you're like, is this a normal ring or a wedding ring?
Like, are you proposing to me?
Which finger am I wearing this from?
Yeah, exactly right.
Yeah.
Oh, my, I can't believe that.
One more text.
We're talking about underwhelming proposals.
Someone said, my dad sold his motorbike.
He said to mum, well, I guess we should get a ring then.
It must have worked because they've been
married for 45 years. However,
that particular bike that he
sold is now a collector's item
and is worth around $400,000.
I bet he hasn't
let mum forget that. No, no, no.
He's like, you better bloody enjoy that ring. I got your ring
because I...
You better take good care of that bloody ring.
Time for a birthday banger. because I don't know. You better take good care of that bloody ring. Bree and Clint.
Time for a birthday banger.
Bree and Clint.
All I want for my birthday is a birthday banger.
All right, if you've never heard this before,
we do it every afternoon on our show.
It's where you can call us up, you tell us what your birthday is,
and we do some calculations here behind the scenes to figure out what was the number one song when you were 16.
Vaughan's going to go first.
Kia ora, Vaughan.
Hi, Vaughan.
Howdy.
You're meant to be on holidays, Vaughan.
Why are you calling in?
Oh, never.
Never take holidays.
Hey, mate, all we need is your date of birth.
Okay, 191084.
All right, that means you were 16, Vaughan, in the year 2000.
And on your 16th birthday, this was at the top.
Bang up.
What a tune.
Groove Jet with Sophie Ellis Bickster
from Murder on the Dance Floor.
What do you reckon?
Yeah, it's pretty chill.
I was hoping for more of an update.
Are you reckon this is chill?
Oh, yeah.
I feel like it's a bit of, you know, it's quite cool, isn't it?
I thought so.
All right, Vorni, wait there, mate.
We're going to do a birthday banger for Kat.
Cue to Kat.
Hello, mate.
I think you've got Shonny.
Oh, I've got a Shonny.
We can do Shonny.
We can do Shonny.
Hi, Shonny.
Hello, Shonny. Hey, good morning. How was your long weekend, mate? Oh, it've got a Shonny. Hey, Shonny. We can do Shonny. We can do Shonny. Hi, Shonny. Hello, Shonny.
Hey, good morning.
How was your long weekend, mate?
Oh, it was all good.
I just chilled at home with the baby.
It was beautiful.
Oh, lovely.
Okay, well, thanks for calling in.
All we need is your birthday.
Yeah, sure.
25th of August, 93.
All right, mate.
That means you were 16 in the year 2009.
We've done our calculations and this was at the top.
Oh, the black eyed peas.
They were everywhere.
Yeah.
Are you into it, Shani?
Yeah, yeah, that's a vibe.
It's a good birthday banger.
This is always a vibe
if you're at a festival
and like it's late in the night
and people have had a few drinks
and people just seem...
You know the vibe?
People just seem to embrace it.
I love you.
Let's do Kat now. Hi, Kat.
Hi, Kat.
How was your long weekend, Kat?
Oh, it was epic.
We had a child with a broken shoulder.
A broken shoulder?
Cat.
How did they manage that?
Trampoline?
Was it trampoline?
No, it was backyard rugby.
Oh, okay.
Trampoline.
Trampolines these days are like the safest place ever.
Too safe, I reckon.
Way too safe.
Yeah, kids need to learn a bit of danger.
A part of the thrill of a trampoline is not knowing if you're going to get caught in the spring.
Just getting a spring up your butt.
We joke.
Kat, seeing as you've had a rough weekend,
let's do your birthday banger.
What's your date of birth?
It's the 18th of August, 1982.
All right, Kat, that means you were 16 in 1998.
Come on, we need some good news for Kat.
Oh, no.
Oh, no. Oh, no.
Oh, some Goo Goo Dolls, Kat.
I'll put you some Macarena.
Yeah, right.
We played that on Thursday on our afternoon show.
We did.
We did too.
Oh, well, Kat, you can't win them all.
Thank you.
You can't win any at the moment, but you can't win this either.
Poor Kat.
She's like, I've had a crappy weekend.
Sucks to be Kat.
Now I get the Goo Goo Dolls.
I'm voting for Vaughn with Groove Jet.
Oh, see, I love the Goo Goo Dolls.
So do I.
I'm a big fan.
So do I, but horses for courses.
But being a Monday.
This is a competition about who loves the Goo Goo Dolls more.
I will win.
I think it's me.
I went to their concert.
I'm Goo Goo over the Goo Goo Dolls.
I went to their concert earlier this year. I hooked up with one of them. Oh, will win. I think it's me. I went to their concert. I'm goo-goo over the Goo Goo Dolls. I went to their concert earlier this year.
I hooked up with one of them. Oh, you win.
Are we on the same page?
Yeah, Monday. We need a bit of Groove Jet.
Hey, Vaughan.
Yeah. Congratulations. You just
won Birthday Banger.
Thank you. You're turning 40 this year, Vaughan.
I know. It's so depressing.
Sorry to bring it up. Way to bring it up.
Way to bring down the mood.
Happy 40th for this year, Vaughan.
Thank you.
But for now, you're fresh 39-year-olds.
Living his best life.
Bree and Clint, here's your birthday banger on ZM.
Holding me closer.
It's time that I told you.
Everything's going to be fine.
Bree and Clint.
The winner of birthday Banger today,
Forvorn from the year 2000.
God, he can't stay away from this show, can he?
We'll do Fletchers tomorrow.
That's Speller with Sophie Alice Baxter, Groove Jets.
Tune, if you don't know what a Birthday Banger is,
every day on our show in the afternoon here on ZM,
we figure out what the number one song was the day that you turned 16.
And we'll do yours tomorrow at 8.30 if you're keen.
Yeah, it's a bit of fun, a bit of fun.
The world is absolutely haktur girl obsessed.
Better give them that haktur and spit on that thing.
And if you're sick of it, just hold on because it's going to be over so soon.
Yeah, 15 minutes will be done.
They go so fast.
They come, they're funny, then they go everywhere and they're like, okay, yeah.
And then they are even more than everywhere and they're irritating and then they disappear.
I quite like it.
I'm still having fun.
And then three months later, they show up on Instagram Reels and then a whole new audience starts enjoying this.
And then that generation starts to enjoy it.
The Hawk Tour girl has a name.
I've been researching her.
Her name's Hayley Welsh.
And she's by far the most viral internet star in the world right now.
She's not the biggest star in the world,
but she's the biggest thing on the internet in this very moment, isn't she?
It's one of those things where it's not often, but
where it kind of breaks the ceiling
and it goes into kind
of like the pop culture zeitgeist
or something. And it's impossible to
figure out why or what
is going to do it. It's wild. But she
seems fun and funny and she's quite good
looking and she said something funny and it feels
like that's the secret sauce. And now she's being brought
on stage at concerts and...
Zach Bryan brought her out at a show over the weekend.
She's got merch.
She's got merch.
So what I...
That's interesting you say that.
I'm trying to figure out if becoming the most viral internet star in the world makes you any money.
She doesn't get any money from any of the videos of that.
Any of that Hok Tua spit on that thing, video.
She gets no money.
It doesn't matter if someone repurposes that video.
It doesn't matter if it gets sold to Ladbible.
It's not her video.
She consented to being in it.
It's these guys that do a podcast of just talking to drunk people.
Have you looked at how many views it's had?
Nah, because it's on so many different platforms.
You don't know where the original is.
It's impossible to know because it's been
ripped off so many times now too.
She gets no money, which is
gutting, but she
has quickly pounced on it and I
reckon there's companies that do this now. Like if you
go viral, they will contact you and go,
hey, we've got a very small window to make some money.
We can do a song. What about a remix
with T-Pain? Does that sound good? We can do
that. That'd be great.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
She's into the merch part of the cycle.
There's hats, which is the main merch that you can get.
You can get a Hawk Tour hat for $50.
They should do the Hawk Tour tours.
Hawk Tour tour.
Yeah.
And you can get a signed hat for $75.
Wow!
It's a lot of, yeah. How much is the, without the hat for $75. Wow. It's a lot. Yeah.
How much is that without the signature?
$50.
Okay.
It's about what a hat costs.
Yeah.
I want to know how much to get a hat if she spits on it.
Oh.
She's missed an opportunity there.
Oh, yuck.
No, I don't want that hat.
I'm just saying.
Why'd you say it then?
Well, no.
It's weird that you said it.
True.
You know she's going to get picked up for a Super Bowl commercial though? For sure. You know she's going to get picked up for a Super Bowl commercial, though?
For sure.
You know she's going to get on like...
Yeah, what else could she do?
Some fast food company is going to get alongside her.
They should bring out a Gatorade flavour.
Who?
The hot, poor Gatorade flavour.
And it could be like a...
Something like that, yeah.
Like a spec colour.
As of this moment, no money.
She's made nothing.
But watch this space.
There'll be something that comes out.
Surely.
She'll get on a Post Malone song.
She's very country.
She's very like...
Huk two and another shot of whiskey.
That'll give him that huk too and spit on that thing.
I wonder if that'll still be funny at the end of the week.
We should make a point to check in on Friday and see if we're really over it.
See if the cycle burns that fast.
I still think it's funny.
Bree and Clint.
ZM Bree and Clint.
That's the latest Coldplay.
It's called Feels Like I'm Falling in Love.
And that's one morning of filling in the Fletchwood and Hallie Hayley, complete for the Blee, Blee, Bree and Clint show.
You nearly got it.
I nearly got it.
You nearly got it.
You're right there.
We have our former and original producer,
Ellie Harwood, filling in on the Bree and Clint show this week
while Claudia's away.
And annoyingly, she reminded us this morning
that tomorrow is our six-year anniversary.
And I say annoyingly, I say annoyingly
because
none of us remembered.
And now you've given us enough
warning that we have to do something about it.
Yeah, although I'm a producer
so maybe I now need to do something.
Tomorrow will be six years
since we started doing the Bree and Clint show on
ZM. Wait, what's six
year anniversary? Yeah, the six year anniversary?
Yeah, that's a good question.
You know, Ellie, like if you had sprung it on us tomorrow,
I could have gone, oh, we all forgot.
Oh, no.
So now we have to do something.
I definitely feel like this is on me, though, because I'm putting up.
Yeah, I think we leave it to Ellie, who has only been back for two days.
She now has to organise the whole thing.
How did you even remember?
I just remember that date so clearly
because it was just a wonderful day in my life, you know?
And I saw the date at first and I was like,
oh, oh my gosh, how cute.
It's iron, by the way.
Iron?
Iron.
What?
After the anniversary.
The six-year anniversary gift.
We can get some, like, reinforcing.
Someone can buy me a new hair straightener.
Oh, nice.
Hair iron.
Yeah, I really need a new hair iron.
I'd like one of those Iron Man masks.
There you go.
That actually opens up.
Yeah, oh yeah.
Iron supplements!
Yeah, I would love some of those.
Our vegan producer needs iron supplements.
Yeah, thank you.
And what about Ellie?
Oh, I just need an iron.
I don't even have one.
A copy of the 1996 DVD, The Iron Giant,
because I know it's your favourite.
Oh, yes, please.
So many options.
So little time.
We'll see you tomorrow.
Bye, guys.
Bye.
