Hi everybody, welcome to the Brian Cullen Podcast. I'm talking really fast because I want to get out of here. Why? What have you got on? I'm hoping... Let's sit down and chat about what you're doing tonight. I want to maybe get home before my daughter goes to bed so I can say goodnight. Okay, okay. Because I never see her in the evenings. And then sometimes I come home, if I by the off chance get home early enough, I beat the traffic.

And we're back in lockdown in New Zealand, by the way, so there's no traffic. So I've got a good chance of getting there. And when I get there and she's just finished having her bottle and she's had her bed so she's had her bath and her hair's all wet and brushed she's not expecting it

Anyone keen to get a COVID test and hit the gym? No, we are being kind even though it is a little bit annoying, but we can't blame people. We can think about it angrily in our heads. So that's a no, that's a no. Let's not go out there and start pushing blame. Good, cool. Just checking we're on the same page. Totally understand.

Hey, today on the show, let's focus on what we can control, which is bringing you the information from the press conference that the Prime Minister is giving at the moment. We're going to get some notes from that and bring it to you as soon as we have some information. Not 100% sure what the press conference is for. Yeah. And some of them can be quite boring. I get really anxious. So I don't want to take it live if it's like, you know.

When they're like, we have to call one immediately. And I'm like, oh no. Yeah, true. Or mate, you don't know what it was like. I was sitting there watching TV on Saturday night and then all of a sudden it says breaking news, press conference coming in 10 minutes. I was like, oh, this can't be good.

Nothing good, nothing good. It's like when your phone rings, if you're at home, when your phone rings after nine o'clock, it's never good news. Were you also just sitting there being like, why am I sitting at home watching TV at nine o'clock on a Saturday night? You do have kids though. It's a realisation I came to a long time ago, Caitlin. I've made

peace with it. Okay, good. So leave me alone. I say it with love, Clem. Okay. A lot of frustration around. Really wish I could hit the gym. We're going to start the show with tradie versus lady. If you want to win yourself $50 cash, let's play. Bree and Clintz, tradie versus lady. Okay, first person to get three questions correct in a general knowledge quiz is going to take home some cash this afternoon with tradie versus lady. Quiz master Caitlin has your questions. We need one tradie and one lady and the tradie can be a

lady. Just call us on 0800 dial ZM right now. Damn, you're getting good at this on your last week. Caitlin's here filling in. By the way, Ben has watched the press conference. He said that Jacinda was giving an update on her week, which is nice, eh?

She's got some tea with him. Nah, she's actually really important. She's like, hopefully I'm going to do some yoga laddies on Tuesday. She's like, hopefully I can get three hours sleep. No, no. She said that there will be an update given on the level changes on Friday. Yeah, and she understands how frustrated and upset people are. She said it changes on Friday. Yeah. And she understands how frustrated and upset people are. She said it's not okay.

Yeah. But yeah, let's be kind still. She said don't go to the gym. Okay, let's play tradie versus lady. First of all let's start with our tradie who's from Tauranga. They are 28. They're a collector of Batman stuff and they're a lady tradie. Welcome to the show, Kiri.

Hi Kiri. Hi. What trade have you got? Fabricator. Fabricator. Okay, good. Love it. Let's go to our lady who's 37 from the Garden City. She's a hairdresser at a rest home. Sweet. I love

First to get three questions correct. Kerry, your buzzer is tradie. Melissa, your buzzer is lady. $50 on the line. Good luck. Question number one. We're back in lockdown. Yay.

Got a COVID test and was told to isolate, but he did not, and he went out and did what instead? Lady. I'm going to give that to Melissa. He went out and went to the gym. Yep. That's all we needed. That's enough.

Yep, we'll take it. He did a couple other things, but yeah. Be kind, everybody. Be kind. Question number two. Lady Gaga's dogs have been returned to her after someone shot her dog walker and stole them. Name a Lady Gaga song. Lady.

Lady. Melissa. Kerry. Sorry, Melissa. Captain Cock. Again, technically correct, but not the answer we're looking for. We were looking for something. Kerry gets a free guess.

Okay. Kerry, free guess. Semen. Yes. So we're in a weird mood, and yeah, you got that one. Captain Cook is a great answer, but we're at tie break, everybody. Whoever gets this one takes the game. It was 32 degrees in Christchurch last week.

Yowza. Clint sometimes puts in little words for me. I'm not saying that. I can't say that. Okay. What temperature does water freeze? Lady. Trudy.

Lady. Kerry. For the win. No, sorry. Lady is Melissa. Jeez, this is confusing today. What? Minus.

Don't overthink it. 20. Carrie, would you like a free guess? Is it minus five? Okay, I've got a really simple one. We'll just go with the next question. Yeah, here we go. The answer to that was zero degrees, by the way.

Okay. What is the capital of New Zealand? Treaty. Oh, that was Kerry. Wellington. Wellington is absolutely correct. There we go. We did it, everybody.

That means it's a win to the... Treaty. Well done, Kerry. We'll give you that $50 cash ASAP. Cool. Cool. Perfect end to a perfect game. It screwed me up because it says lady and then it also says lady Trady.

That's why you don't look at them. You've got to listen to their voices. Yeah. Jeez, that was hard to listen to, I'm sure, as well. Free and Clint. Yesterday we had to readjust to lockdown life. And I'm going to lie, if you've got kids, bloody long day. Long day. It's going to be a long week.

Yeah. But we're okay. We're going to get through it. We're going to stay positive. Yep. I was watching on the news yesterday because I didn't leave the house. Right. Like I didn't have plans to leave the house anyway.

I'm not some saint who abided by lockdown rules. I didn't have anywhere to go. Yeah. because I didn't leave the house. Right. Like, I didn't have plans to leave the house anyway. I'm not some saint who abided by lockdown rules. I didn't have anywhere to go. Yeah. But I didn't leave the house. And I was watching the news about the airport, Auckland Airport, and there were so many people at the airport, which I couldn't figure out. Was that people booking flights like, yo, I'm out of here?

I think it was people leaving. Really? Yeah, that was interesting. Where are you going? Like, I don't know. Are you just going to fly to Wanaka and find an Airbnb when you get there. Well, or like leaving to places where they've got friends that aren't in level three. I don't know. I think people panic when it's a week and they think they're going to be claustrophobic.

Right, right. The other one that was interesting was the motorways in and out of Auckland. And some of them were legit. I think people were escaping the city and the police were turning them around. Right. Some people just had places to go. Yeah. Someone who was stuck in that mental traffic jam was our boss, Ross Boss.

G'day, Ross. Hello. Hello. You're trying to escape lockdown, were you? Yeah, no. No one's escaped to Hamilton, mate. I did see that on your Instagram. I was like, why the hell is he going to Hamilton on a Sunday afternoon?

But you had a legitimate reason, right? You sent your son away on the most inconveniently timed weekend away ever? Yeah, it was amazing when I dropped him off on Friday night thinking, oh, I'll work in. And then, yeah, the drive to pick him up yesterday was significantly long. So for those who don't know, the trip to Hamilton from Auckland is usually an hour and a half. How long did it take you to get to the Tron? Five hours.

Four and a half hours. Five hours. Five hours. And were you by yourself in the car? Four and a half hours. Yeah, I had the radio to keep me company. Good save. Yeah, good save.

Good save from the boss. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, so what else did you do? I actually got to this point where, because I was sick of sitting up straight, I lay my chair all the way back. Oh, my God. And it's one of those electric ones.

And I raised it up. So I was up, kind of floating on my back, just cruising through. Because was it a standstill most of the time? It took me three hours to get from Pocono to Mercer, which is usually like a three-minute drive. Oh, my God. Yeah.

That sucks. Were people really angry? Were people getting, like, road rage? No, but once I got through, and then through all the people trying to get into Auckland, and that line was, like, four times as long, people were just outside of their car sitting on the side of the road. Why are you trying to get in, eh? Like, bad time to come in.

We're locked down. Stay out. If you're out, you're lucky. Stay there. That shows how good it would be. Hey, stop picking on Hamilton, mate. You're from Hamilton, okay? Exactly.

Don't forget your roots, my friend. Exactly. That's why I can do it. Where our minds went to straight away Five hours in a car, on a motorway Was Roadside toilet emergencies Did you have a bottle?

No I was really proud of myself I just didn't even need to go I went before I left I was like, this trip might take two hours Better go away. That's so good from you. Yeah, really good from me.

So did you just dehydrate? You just didn't drink any water while you were in the car? No, I drink as well, but I just, I don't know. I'm 40. I can hold on to my bladder. Well done, mate. Congratulations. He's like, my son.

He pushes him out of the way so he can go to the toilet. Did you see people having roadside toilet emergencies? Yeah, heaps of people just hopping out of the car and leaving the car there. That's so unfortunate. Because when you've got to go, you've got to go. And you might be the most dignified person in the world. You may be like some snooty, like proper person. But when you've got to go, you've got to go.

And you may have had to huck away on the side of the motorway yesterday. It sucks for girls. Totally. Boys have it so easy, they just whip it out. Girls have to like, you know, well, you know how girls go. Yeah, we know what girls. We know. Yeah, it's graphic.

It's not fun. Because you can't even turn away. You either give the cars the bum or you give them the front if you're a girl, right? We want to know this afternoon on 0800DARLS.M, were you in that traffic jam or were you in one of the mental lockdown traffic jams yesterday? Did you have a roadside toilet emergency? And how did you do it? How did you get away with it?

What's your tactic? Is it we're talking bottle? Are we talking... Girls can't use a bottle. Are we talking friend holding up a towel while you're on the side of State Highway 1? Let us know. Oh, sounds like it's going off at Ross's place. Do you guys want to come around?

No, we'll leave you to it. Sorry, we're really busy. Nice to talk to you. Oh, $800 at M or text us on 9696. Yeah, he's literally gone. We want to know about your roadside toilet emergencies this afternoon.

Talk us through it. There's no shame here, okay? No, no, we all have to do it. We all urinate. When you? No, no. We all have to do it. We all urinate. When you've got to go, you've got to go. But we just want to know how it happened for you and how embarrassing it was. Maybe you had to do more than urinate.

I forgot about bowel movements. Uh-oh. Yesterday, when the country went into lockdown, people were either scrambling to get home or they were scrambling to get away. And the police were waiting for both groups of people. They were checking people coming in and going out to see that you weren't breaking any rules.

They're doing a good job. Yeah. I saw, well, I saw Ross Boss was stuck in it. It took him five hours to get to Hamilton. And for perspective, that drive normally takes an hour and a half. Yeah. I saw Ido and Mandy Drent, because I follow them both on Instagram.

It took them seven hours to get home from Hamilton with three kids in the car. Oh my God. Yeah. You'd just be like, let's listen to the song. Let's listen to Baby Shark

for like seven hours. Let's pull over. We live here now. Let's pull over in this truck stop. This is, let's set up shop. This is where we're doing our lockdown. We live here now. Let's pull over in this truck stop. This is the set up shop. This is where we're doing our lockdown. We're talking about roadside toilet emergencies.

Because over that period of time, and you look at how many thousands of cars there would have been out there, there must have been a few roadside toilet emergencies. Especially for seven hours. I actually thought that as a female, you wouldn't be able to use a bottle. But I stand corrected because we have Sarah on the phone. And she used to be an ex-truck driver.

Hi, Sarah. Hi. You'd be accustomed to a few roadside toilet emergencies as a truck driver, wouldn't you? Thank you. Yeah, you'd have your spots marked out along the road. You'd go, there's a good one to go. Yeah, in the bushes.

Yeah, right. Along my road. Okay, well, don't give it away too much. But it is possible for females to use a bottle when needs must. Yeah, I was truck driving with my father-in-law, actually. We worked together. And we had a time constraint. Our hours were up, so we had to stop and have a break, but we needed to make this target.

So I had to use a bottle next to my father-in-law. He looked that way. Wait, wait, wait. You had to use a bottle in the cab of the truck while your father-in-law was in the other seat? Yeah. Oh, see. I mean, it's a thing

It's natural, isn't it? In his family, I guess We'll get the details of how the logistics work off air, I think We can get you some info on that Christina's got a roadside toilet emergency hack as well Hi, Christina Oh, hi guys, how you doing? Good

Now, what's the deal? If you have to go, what do you do? Okay, I live on a state highway, sort of country road. So when the need arises, you really just need to go. So you've got, you know, trucks and stuff going past. So you open the front passenger's door and the back passenger's door. Yeah. And then you sit on the sill on the front seat sort of thing,

you know, the ledgy sill bit. Yeah. And you scooch forward enough that you can pee without peeing in the car. But it just looks like you're sitting there. So I don't trust myself that I won't pee in the car. So you're hanging your bottom, you're sitting in the car, but you're hanging your bottom out of the car. Is that what's happening?

No, you sort of sit it out like it's a seat. Okay. And so you just sort of scooch forward enough. And if you've got teenage boys, it's good because you just throw them out of the car and it looks like they're the ones who've stopped in the way. And you're just like randomly sitting on the side of the car. Okay. Yeah.

So honestly, it works. I've taught my friends' girls to do it as well and she was horrified. I like the teenage boy decoys as well. You're like, get out there and don't you dare come back into the car until I give you the signal that it's all clear, okay? Until you see mummy wave her arms, you stay out of the car. Finally, Amy, roadside toilet emergencies, what's your hack? I was at the river with my toddler who doesn't get the concept of squatting.

And so I had a mini toilet with me and just used that. You used a toddler potty? Oh, you used it. I like how you called it a mini toilet, but it just used that. You used a toddler potty? Oh, you used it. Yeah. I like how you called it a mini toilet, but it was a potty, wasn't it? Well, yeah, but it's like a miniature toilet. Great hat. Yeah, great hat.

Maybe just keep one in the boat. You're like, hey, can you go clean this up now? Your friend's like, why do you have a potty in the back of your car? You don't have any kids, Caitlin. Brian Clint. Let's get the latest. Dean's here. He's live from the Golden Globes this afternoon. Hi, Dean. Hi, guys.

Yeah, it's all happening here in Hollywood today, all virtually. It's like a big Zoom of famous people on Zoom. Okay, so there's literally no one there. Everyone's just on Zoom. Or are people allowed to go if they're in the area? No, good question. No, they're actually not allowed to go if they're in the area. So in the audience, there's like some random people

just like seat fillers. And then backstage, there are the big celebrities. They all come out one at a time. They're all socially distanced. And they're coming out to present awards like Margot Robbie just presented an award. Amy Poehler's there. And then in New York City, Tina Fey, she's in New York. And she has her own set up there with some celebritiesler's there. And then in New York City, Tina Fey, she's in New York, and she has her own set up there with some celebrities there as well.

And then all the nominees are actually in their own homes around the world. So they're spread out. But the presenters are all in the Beverly Hilton. Yeah, they're all here. God, you'd want to have good broadband at your house, eh? You're like, Mum, get off the computer. You're about to accept your Golden Globe for Best Actor, and it's glitching, Mum, get off the computer! You're about to accept your Golden Globe for Best Actor and it's glitchy. Mum, get off YouTube!

Hey Dean, the story that's going around today is about Jonah Hill and him spreading a really body positive message. Tell us about that. This is one of my favourite stories I've seen in a while actually. So over the weekend, the Daily Mail took photos of Jonah Hill surfing

in Malibu, right? And they posted the photos of him shirtless surfing. And they were obviously very negative towards him about it. You know, they were mocking him. He reposted the photos, right? And he posted on his social media for his millions, 2.4 million followers or whatever. And he said, you know, I don't think I ever took my shirt off in a pool before I was 30 years old, right? Like, not even in front of my friends and family.

So, you know what? The fact that I can see this photo now and still be kind of cool and think it's dope is actually great with me. And then he said, this post is not like a, you know, go me or anything like that. This was not a woe is me. This post is for everyone that was mocked or never felt comfortable just taking their own shirt off in front of a pool. He goes, thanks so much, darling Mel. Nothing will take the smile off my face.

He was brilliant. Yeah. Yeah, such a positive role model. Well, he sent shade back to them in a very clever way. Yeah. Because they've passed it off as a news story when it's not. It's just fat shaming. I mean, that's just what we're dealing with with him.

It's fat shaming. Yeah. Okay, that's the latest. Live out of Los Angeles on Golden Globes Day with our Hollywood correspondent, Dean McCarthy. Brianne Clint. I want to talk about pregnancy foods that you enjoy for a second. And I don't even know if these are cravings,

because cravings is like, oh, I feel like eating dirt. Like, was there a food that during your pregnancy you're like, this is my food, I'm going to eat as much of it as I can, because I've got an excuse to. Because sometimes people have really weird cravings like wanting to eat dust. Or sand from the beach. That's a real one. And you're like, baby,

don't be weird. No, this is different. So my wife Lucy is currently eight months pregnant. It's the final countdown. And she told me on the weekend about something she saw in one of her apps that she uses. I don't know what the app does, but there's like message boards and stuff in there.

And she said it's really fun to read because there's lots of like over-the-top American people in there as well. So you sort of just sit back and enjoy it. My pregnancy is actually going pretty well compared to these guys. Totally. It's a great way to use it. She said that there's a lady in that group because they were talking about what food have you been eating heaps of while you're pregnant. And there was a lady in there who said that for the last three months of her pregnant, she ate a whole block of caramilk a day.

But before eating it, she would dip the whole block, she'd coat the whole block in that Hershey's chocolate sauce. Oh, my God. That goes hard. I'd be worried about her health There's so much sugar She'd put the block of caramel

covered in Hershey's hard chocolate sauce in the fridge so that it goes hard Oh my god And she'd eat that every day And she'd have

a block a day for the last three months of the pregnancy There's not doctor endorsed suggestions by the way, but at the same time, live your life.

Yeah, true. But, yeah. She said she gained 27 kilos. And how big was the baby? Like, seven? You would see yourself putting on that weight and you'd go, please be the baby. Please be the baby.

Please, at least 50% of this, be the baby. But you're right. If it got her through, like, I can't imagine having a human growing inside you. It must be crazy. Listen to your body. You know, like if your body tells you that it needs a whole block of...

But don't give yourself onset diabetes either. No, that too, yeah. But if your body tells you that's what you need, you know, that's clearly what you need. I actually just asked my friend Caroline because she's had two children, what she ate loads of when she was pregnant. She said chicken nuggets, orange juice, and Sprite from BK Drive-Thru.

She said that was the, I wouldn't drink Sprite from anywhere else. It had to be from the BK Drive-Thru. Really? Very specific. Because it does taste different, but I wonder what it is about the BK. Oh, it's flame grilled. That'll be it. It's flame grilled Sprite.

That's the difference. Yeah, right. We want to know this afternoon, what did you eat loads of when you were pregnant? And obviously it's a judgment-free zone. Absolutely. You're pregnant. Your body, your choice.

Yeah, prepare yourself because it might make you very hungry. Oh, yeah. This afternoon, you know, we're in lockdown. It's four o'clock. Yeah. Let's get the best ones on. 0800 DALES.NM Or text them in to 9696

the things that you just went crazy on eating when you were pregnant. There'll be some good stories in this too. Oh, I wonder if the baby, the child when it was born, they just wanted to eat that as well. Let us know. The baby's addicted to caramel. Give us a call.

We're talking about the miracle of childbirth. Actually, not really. We're talking about pregnancy. Why did you choose that one? That's my baby noise. Bree hates that noise too. I don't know. It just like makes me feel uncomfortable.

I'm like, where is the baby crying? I need to help it. It's entering the world. Coming down the long tunnel. This is actually more about pregnancy and the food that you ate during pregnancy. My wife, Leslie, is eight months pregnant and she's part of a pregnancy app thing with a message board. There was a woman on there who confessed

that for the last three months of her pregnancy, she ate a whole block of caramel covered in Hershey's chocolate sauce. A day. Amazing. A day. We've had a text through from a woman when she was pregnant with her daughter. She ate a tub of strawberries every day. Healthy, yum, great.

But also drank two litres of milk every day. Well, healthy as well. Healthy as well. Another woman ate cucumber And drank energy drinks That's all she did For when she was Pregnant with her baby The baby never slept

More than two hours When they started Like before they started Eating solids And when they did Start eating solids She loved cucumbers So much that she would

Bribe her with a piece Of cucumber Cucumber yeah good I wonder what energy Drink it was Because if it's like Red bull The baby's like I want to go skydiving.

The baby's like, I love, or if it's Monster Energy, the baby's like, I want to do dirt bike riding. Okay, whatever you're into. Jordan's here. Hey, Jordan. Hey, how's it going? Good.

Now, this is who was pregnant and what were they craving? It was my sister, and she eats raw onion like an apple at least once a day. Whoa. Pregnant, obviously. Yeah, she'll be sitting there, her eyes will be watering and red and I'm sitting there like, can you stop? No, I can't.

Does she find it weird? Yeah, but she still loves it. Yeah. Wow. Women's bodies are incredible. Yeah. And the things that they will tell you to do at that time, because obviously there's something inside her that needs raw onion.

It's like craving the sting. I don't know. Get down to Bunnings. Get some barbecued onion or something. Yeah, or like maybe fry it. No, but maybe it's that like rawness. I don't know. Hey, love.

Hi there. Was it you? Were you the one who was eating loads of something when you were pregnant? Yeah, Nutella and mashed egg and a sandwich. Oh, wait. I thought you said mashed banana. Oh, mashed egg and Nutella. No, mashed egg and Nutella.

Are you pregnant right now? No, no. My son's almost three now. Okay, so do you still eat mashed egg and Nutella and a sandwich? I haven't tried it since, but I ate it a lot while I was pregnant. I reckon you've got to try it and see if your body still enjoys it when you're not pregnant. Because that sounds... It's like a sweet

egg. Yeah. Yeah, chocolate and egg, basically. Yeah, right. Okay, like we said, there's no judgement zone. Thanks, Mel. Let's go... Thanks, Liv. Let's go to Mel. Hello. Hi. Hi, Mel. What did you eat loads of When you were pregnant?

So I really craved stuff That I wasn't allowed to eat So the biggest one was shrimp Oh yeah Yeah So I was so bad with it That at one point No one would let me eat it

So I actually Went to Valentine's by myself And ate basically Just shrimp at the buffet I love the idea of you like prison break. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're going under the cover of darkness. Like your partner, your parents,

they're all like, you can't eat any more shrimp. And you're like, I'll eat shrimp if I want to. You wear a hoodie. You're like that guy in that show, You. You put on a little cap. How much do you think you ate at the buffet? I would have, if I thought I would have got away with it. Picked up the whole

little serving bowl that they had there. Amazing. Was everything okay? Because they say you're not supposed to eat shrimp. Were you all good? Well, yeah.

My kids got the normal amount of appendages and stuff so I guess it's okay. Sweet. Sounds good to me. Finally, Alex, when you were pregnant

what did you eat loads of? For like the last two months of pregnancy I just ate a 24 bucket of Wicked Wings just every day. That's a lot of chickens. Okay, let's break this down. First of all, yum. Yeah.

Second of all, do you think you could eat 24 Wicked Wings when you're not pregnant? I don't think I could physically get through that many.

What's their name? What's their name? His real name ain't Slim Shady. Real or fake name, baby? What is their real name? The game, don't have a name, but the name of the game is to guess the name. It's very tricky. It actually is so much more simple than you make it out to be.

Yeah, I really overjazzed that. What happens is Anastasia gives us celebrities' names, and then we have to try and guess whether that's their real name or whether it's a stage name. We play in teams. Your teammate, Caitlin, is Ashley. Hello, Ashley. Hi.

How are you doing? Good, how are you? Are you good at names? Maybe. Well, we better be. I'm just kidding. We'll be great. You'll be working with Ashley to win her some KFC chicken dollars,

and I'll be working with you, Grace. Hey, Grace. Hey, Clint. It's you and me, okay, for the KFC chicken dollars and I'll be working with you, Grace. Hey, Grace. Hey, Clint. It's you and me, okay, for the KFC chicken dollars. If we get more than those guys, you take home the prize. I've got this for you, Ashley. Yeah, we got it. Okay.

Anastasia, when you're ready, take it away. Caitlin started last week, so let's start with you, Clint. The first celebrity is Jamie Foxx. Grace, Jamie Foxx, real name or stage name? Stage name. Real name or stage name? Stage name. Has to be, right?

It's too cool a name. Yeah. Yeah, we're going to lock in Jamie Foxx, not his real name. That's correct. You're fully correct there. Jamie Foxx's real name is Eric Bishop. Is it?

And, yeah. That's so much less smooth, eh? I don't know why. It's so funny. When he was in his early days as a comedian, he wanted to change his name to disallow any biases. There you go. Cool. You're laughing because it's way less sexy than Jamie Foxx? I'm just laughing because Jamie Foxx is such a cool name,

and it's like Eric. Yeah. Eric's a lovely name. Sorry. And also, why did he choose two Xs? Because it's scuxy. Because it's Eric. Yeah. Eric's a lovely name. Sorry. And also, why did he choose two X's? Because it's scuxy. Because it's cool.

Yeah, it's cool, man. Caitlin's up. Let's go. Caitlin, your celebrity is Celine Dion. Oh, what do you reckon, Ashley? Oh, that's a hard one.

I know. I feel in my heart that it's her real name. Yeah, because she's French, eh? She is. Is she French-Canadian? Yeah, maybe. Oh my god. Or is Celine short for something? I don't know.

Nicknames are different to stage names, okay? So you need to know, is this a stage name that she's assumed or not? Or a version of her real name? Ashley, it's your call. Yep, go with your gut. I reckon it's real. Real? Okay. You guys are correct. Celine Dion is her real name. One all. Let's go with your gut. I reckon it's real. Real? Okay. You guys are correct. Celine Dion is her real name. One all.

Let's go, Grace. We're up. Your third celebrity for you, Clint, is Scarlett Johansson. Oh, Scar Jo. Because it's Johansson, isn't it? Or is it Johansson? Do you know, Grace? Like, do you have any?

Yeah, I'm a pretty big fan of hers. It's her real name. It's her real name? Yeah. You're the fan. I'm going to back you. We say Scarlett Johansson is a real name. That is, in fact, her real name.

Yes! Okay. Wonderful. All right. The fourth celebrity is Vin Diesel. Nah, that's not a real name. You don't go in a car movie, you don't end up in Fast and the Furious with the last name Diesel by Nah, that's not a real name. You don't go in a car movie, you don't end up in Fast and the Furious

with the last name Diesel by accident, eh? Do you reckon, Ashley, that's a fake name? I reckon it's fake. I reckon his name is like Bruce or something. Yeah, or like Mark or something. Mark or something, yeah. Oh my gosh. What?

You're not going to believe that. Okay, firstly, that's his fake name. Yeah. But you're never going to believe his real name is Mark. Ashley. Are you a psychic, Ashley? Mark what? Oh, that's so strange.

Mark Sinclair. Mark Sinclair. Mark Sinclair. Like the cricket player. But it actually doesn't have anything to do with cars. His friends used to call him Diesel as a nickname. Right. Because he had heaps of energy.

I'm Jimmy Octane and I'm here to audition for Fast and the Furious. Okay, Grace, we need this to force a draw, okay? No, this guy will actually just go because you're both on two points each. Oh, okay, cool. I like it. And how this one works is you just call out whether it's real or fake.

First team wins. We don't have to buzz in? You don't have to buzz in, just yell real or fake. Grace, you can yell as well. Yeah, you yell too, Ashley. Clint's really loud, but I reckon you can yell louder than him. Awesome, guys. Your last celebrity is Enrique Ongelacius. Real.

I've got to give that to Clint, mate. Yes, Grace, we did it. Sorry, Ashley. I knew it was real because his father is also famous and his name is um oh Mr. Iglesias I lost it Julio

oh sorry Grace 50 KFC chicken dollars congratulations thank you so much Caitlin have you got car insurance yes do you I do very Very responsible. Yeah.

Your car is a... My car is a yellow car. Everyone always asks... Is it a Honda Jazz? Fit? Honda Fit. Honda Fit. Yeah.

I bought it off Maddie McLean. I'm embarrassed because I do have car insurance, but my parents... Sorry? My parents... Yeah, oh, right. Okay. You know, because I'm have car insurance, but my parents' paper. Your parents, sorry? My parents' paper. Yeah, oh, right, okay. You know, because I'm a poor student. You are a poor student.

But it is also very, very crucial to have it because, you know, people always drive into me. It's never my fault. Yeah, poles, they just jump out at you. And poles, the curb, it's just right there. It's right there. It wasn't there and then it's there. At least you've got it, okay? At least you've got it. Yeah, I do, yeah. Because you're right, it's important, the curb, it's just right there. It's right there. It wasn't there and then it's there. At least you've got it, okay?

At least you've got it. Yeah, I do, yeah. Because you're right, it's important. But I know it's expensive. The AA have come out, and that's the Automobile Association, not Alcoholics Anonymous. And they've said that AA Insurance New Zealand are dealing with currently 8,000 claims from people who were at fault,

who didn't have insurance, who were having to pay off crashes through the AA. So when you don't have insurance, just for people that don't have it, but you have to pay the full amount of the repairs. But when you do have insurance, the insurance company pays and you pay an excess of how much. I mean, why would you not have insurance?

But if you, say you don't have insurance and you crash into me, but I you not have insurance? But if you, say you don't have insurance. Yeah. And you crash into me. Yeah. But I've got insurance. Yeah. Say with the AA. The AA will pay to fix my car straight away. Right.

And then the AA will make you pay them back. Yeah. It can be thousands of dollars, eh? Yeah, people pay it off over a long time as well. They've got 16 people currently who are still paying off crashes from 2008. They're still trip feeding. So long ago. And they've got one person from last year

who had a crash which caused $40,000 worth of damage to someone else's car and they're paying it off at $100 a week and they're going to be paying that off for eight years. What do they crash into? Doesn't say. But I mean, because you can't control what you crash into, right? You don't go out and you go, I'm only going to hit shit cars.

I actually got crashed into a couple of years ago and the guy that did it was, well, he's in jail, not because of that, for other related things. And so he has to pay me back my excess that I paid for my insurance. So I get like $12 in my account every month. Really? Until he's finished paying that back. From his prison money?

Yeah. What he's doing to earn you $12? Well, like maybe the government. Dishes? I don't know how it works. Prison dishes? Yeah. I got crashed into by a guy once, and it was his fault.

Yeah. And he came over and he goes, he was driving an Audi, and he came over to me and he goes, I'm just going to level with you, I don't have insurance. And I was like, right. He goes, but that's because I'm, he literally said it's because I'm rich enough, I don't need insurance.

So just send me the bill and I'll just pay for it. Really? And I was like, baller. You're like, it is $40,000 for my Toyota Corolla. The lights on this Honda Accord were gold plated. We want to know like this person who's going to be paying off a

$40,000 crash because they didn't have insurance for the next eight years at $100 a week. How much did the car crash cost you? Did you not have insurance and maybe you went into the back of a Ferrari? Did you not have insurance and you were borrowing a friend's car

and you drove it, I don't know, into a wall and scraped the whole side of it and reared it off or something like that? And maybe now you ride a bike. Because you can't be trusted with the car. Give us your horror stories and scare some other people into getting car insurance this afternoon. 0800 dials at M or text us on 9696.

We want to know how much did the car crash cost you? Bree and Clint. You got car insurance? Dad here, you got car insurance? We at least got third party fire and theft insurance. Because your car might not be worth anything. But what about the car you crash into?

What if you're cruising through the lights in Remuera and you plough into the back of Mike Hosking's Land Rover? That would not be a good time. Not be a good time. He'd yell at you. You reckon? Do you reckon? Yeah.

He'd be like, you bloody idiot. I feel like rich people shouldn't yell because they can deal with it. Yeah. You can deal with it. Yeah, if you're poor, you can yell. If you're poor and you spent your last dollar on that Range Rover, you've got reason to be annoyed. So we want to know how much did the car crash cost you?

You didn't have insurance. Scared people into getting insurance this afternoon. This person worked for an insurance company and they had a claim last year where someone hit one of their customer cars. It was a brand spanking $60,000 vehicle. The guy who hit the car was sitting in his truck and since his warrant of fitness was out and his brakes failed, his insurance company denied his claim.

It was a total write-off, total outstanding cost, totaled $52,000 after the vehicle was salvaged. He would be so gutted because he'd had the insurance. And you can forget about a warrant. It can slip your mind. Yeah, that's gutting. Let's go to the phones. Ash, hi. Hi, how are you?

Turn that radio down for us, please, if you can, and tell us, you didn't have insurance insurance how much did the crash cost you cost me twenty thousand dollars when i was 17 years old and still in high school because you have to be over 20 oh no it's over 25 to drive someone else's car for insurance right something like that yeah so it was my parents' car that I crashed. And I had passengers on my restricted licence. Ashley! Ashley! I know. Your parents must have been so mad at you.

I know. I crashed it into another company vehicle that had a printing hoist in the back of it. And so most of the damage was actually to the hoist that was in the back of your van. Right. Oh, no. Okay, so $20 a week for a very long time, basically. Your parents didn't cover it for you? You had to

pay it back? No, they made me pay it back to the other insurance company. Have you got insurance now? I do, and I actually work for an insurance company as well now. You've learnt. You've learnt. You've really learnt your lesson.

Let's go to Michael. Hey, Michael. Hey, guys. How we doing? Good, man. What did the car crash cost you? Just a touch over 57 grand. 50?

What did you hit? I don't even know that kind of thing. It's to the council. I T-boned a bridge on TD Road out by Pudamahui. You had a bridge? Yeah, I was going to work 5 o'clock in the morning, dog run out, I swerved to

avoid it and I T-boned the bridge about 5 in the morning and broke the car off which was in my car but the council came to me for the repairs for the bridge. I have actually always wondered that because you see which was in my car, but yeah, the council came to me for the repairs for the bridge. Yeah, it sucks. I have actually always wondered that because you see like barriers and stuff that get screwed up all the time on the side of the road and the council actually send you a bill for that?

Yep. Wow. How long did it take you to pay off, Michael? Still currently paying it off. Oh, sucks, man. If you had insurance, would you have been covered for the bridge? Because they say third-party fire and theft, but is it like third-party fire, theft and bridges?

Yeah. So I believe so. I think you just end up like always just paying the excess. Yeah. But yeah, needless to say, it was a very big life lesson. Do you have insurance now, Michael? Oh, yeah.

Yeah, man. Okay, wait there. Finally, Vanessa, Michael? Oh, yeah. Yeah, man. Okay, wait there. Finally, Vanessa, your ex had the crash. How much did it cost? A little over $200,000. Excuse me? $200,000? Yeah.

Okay, what happened? So he claims he wasn't doing skids, but who knows, but he skidded out on the road and he hit a commercial building and then the council building. He was doing skids and he hit two buildings? Well, he says he wasn't, but that's what the police report said. So your ex in your car, is that right? No, so it wasn't my car. This is before I actually met him. Right. I had wondered why he had such a good job, but never any money. Turns out it was because he was paying that. Do you know how long it took him to pay it off?

$200,000. I'm pretty sure he's still paying it off. And I was with him maybe four years ago. Wow. You kind of need to win lotteries to actually pay that off, eh? He's screwed. Right, so the crash had nothing to do with why he's your ex now, Vanessa? Don't think so, no.

Maybe. Don't do skitties, everybody. Don't do skitties, guys. Thanks, Vanessa. Do you reckon that worked? Do you reckon it scared some people into getting insurance? I should hope so. Don't hit, like, council stuff as well.

Yeah, good advice. Bree and Clint. Time for Birthday Banger. It's my birthday. Brie and Clint. Time for birthday banger. It's my birthday. It's my birthday. Brie and Clint's birthday banger. Okay, everyone's locked down.

Well, Auckland's locked down. The rest of the country's like, yeah, level two, no big thing. Yeah, there's just a bit of an air of... A little bit of heightened... Like a sigh.

What I really wanna do is shut you up Cause all you do is talk and talk and talk to me. ZM, Brie and Clint with Caitlin. Looking for a good night. Filling in while Brie's away, that's Big Masty himself, Rhys Mastin, and good night. I don't think he wants to be called that, okay? The Big Mast... Oh, yeah. Stop. I'm just on his Instagram. I don't think he wants to be called that, okay? The big Mac.

Oh, yeah. Stop. I'm just on his Instagram. He's 26 years old now. I can't remember how old he was when he bought that out, but probably 12. Yeah, he's grown up now. He's pretty cute. You like the look of his?

Yeah. I've always been a fan of him. Last time I went on there, he's very rock chic. He is. He kind of looks a wee bit like Olly Murs. Oh, yeah, yeah. That's a good comparison.

But he's sold out and he's walking out of a river. Yeah, right. All wet. He's trying to be sexy. If you ever had a crush on Reece Mastin, now's the time

that he'll respond to your DM. What, because he's trying to still be relevant? Well, I just think the heat may have died off a bit. He might be more likely to see it these days. Maybe I'll just flick him a wee message and be like, hey, Rhys, still looking good?

Nah, I'll come up with something better than that. I'll think about it. Okay, we'll leave that one with you. I've just asked, I've put a call out to see if anyone knows about Shower Onions. Turns out no one does. No, literally no one in New Zealand knows about shower onions. I think maybe it might

be an American thing. It started on TikTok because this girl was talking about meeting this guy and the fact that he had shower onions. Right, okay. OMG, I finally met up with the guy I've been talking to during lockdown. You can always judge a guy by how

clean his bathroom is. OMG soap. Lotion. Look at his shower onions. Floss. Stop, stop, stop, stop. Like, okay, great, he's got floss. But they just go over the fact that he's got shower onions and it's a bowl of onions by the shower. Looks like it's on top of his toilet. It looks like it's sitting on top of the system. Yeah, I think it's outside the shower. Looks like it's on top of his toilet. It looks like it's sitting on top of the system. I think it's outside the shower. So I'm seeing white onions, brown onions and one red onion.

If you need to know. People are like, what is with the shower onions? But then a lot of other people are saying, why are people so confused by shower onions? You know when you go to a fancy person's house and sometimes they have decorative pine cones? Yes. Like around the house.

Is this a version of that? No. So it turns out, I've done some research, it turns out that shower onions actually have a place in the bathroom. Right. And the reason for this is that supposedly half a freshly cut onion can be placed in a smelly or musty bathroom to help remove the bathroom's odours.

Now, they've tried it out, so it's not supposedly, because onions have been proven to absorb smells. Right. So, of course, it's like a little bit counteractive because you open the onion and it's like, oh, it smells like onion. But once you let it sitting there for overnight, it will absorb the surrounding smells and that will get rid of the onion smell as well as all. It's like this magic vegetable.

So I'm looking at these ones, though, and none of them are cut. They're just whole onions and they look kind of decorative, but I can't get past the fact that they're just onions in the bathroom. So maybe like someone does a poo and they cut the onion open. They're like, we've done and then they cut the onion open. They're like, we've done a poo, cut the onion open, leave it there. Well, then you would need to also have a chopping board and a knife in the bathroom. Maybe they've hid that away. Because he's like, I've got this date over, I won't, like I'll just have my shower. You've got a smeg knife block in there, one knife, chopping board.

And he comes out of the bathroom crying. That'd be the weirdest bit. My great hope here is that if you are using shower onions, uncut in a bowl, that they don't end up on the plate. Because if they have a place to absorb certain odours. Yeah, that's not going to taste good. I don't want shower onions in my salad. Poo particles?

That's exactly what I was avoiding saying. Sorry, I just said avoiding. Bree and Clint. ZM, Bree and Clint, that's Medusa and Paradise. Caitlin's here too, filling in for Bree. I know we're all feeling a little bit worried and maybe a little bit anxious about being back in lockdown. Auckland level three and the rest of the country level two.

But I did want to bring some good news today. It's just been Wildlife Day over the weekend. And they have come out and told us how the pandemic has helped the Earth's wildlife. Please let this be good news. I can't handle another story like we got last week when Texas had a power cut and the turtles were freezing to death. I know. And they had these turtles who were literally so cold that they could surface,

but they were too frozen to lift their head out of the water. Sorry, this is meant to be a good news segment. Clint, this is, yeah. So on the back of that, I'm just going to quickly go through all of the new births of endangered animals that have happened since people have been inside and not putting plastic in the ocean. Got it. Okay, great.

We've got, it sounds little, but we've got one eastern black rhino. Now, the country's population has plummeted by 99% since the 1970s to around 100 rhinos. So we've just added one to that. Yeah, well done. That's a 1% rhino increase. We've got 17 new brown bear cubs. We've got 26 Tasmanian devils, 48 Ethiopian wolf pups,

58 Antarctic blue whales. That's amazing. How do they know? They count them. The Antarctic blue whales. They're like, yo, let us know when you have birth. We've got to put it on a birth certificate. Because the Antarctic's pretty a big place.

But yeah, carry on. They've got ways. 140 new elephants. 2,489 wild lions. Wow. 4,000 grey seal pups. And not to mention all the climate benefits here in New Zealand. I mean, people are just not getting out and about because we're not allowed.

So the grass is growing, the trees are growing. I remember looking at that in the first lockdown. Did you see the videos of the dolphins returning to the canals and canals, canals, canals, canals, canals? I don't know. The waterways in Venice. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And they couldn't

because have you ever been to Venice before? No, I have not. It's so overcrowded. It's crazy with the amount of tourism that's there and global warming, it's like literally sinking. And then no one could go there, no one could travel, so there are no people going up and down the canals. And there are dolphins swimming in and out of them and the water's gone clear again.

It's like this murky, weird colour and then all of a sudden it's clear and there's dolphin in the water. It's just beautiful. I know that it's horrible that we have to stay inside. But look at these beautiful animals that are being rebirthed. Well, being born. Birthed. Not rebirthed.

And creating a beautiful world out there for our wildlife. Again, I want to know how they figure out they got 53 blue whales. Because they all have to register their baby. They check them on the way out of whale birth care. This week, Dr Scott Green appeared virtually before Sacramento Court Commissioner Gary Link. Now, he is a doctor. He had a parking ticket to fight.

He decided that he would do this mid-surgery. So he is in his surgical scrubs. You can see the patient on the operating table. And this mid-surgery. So he is in his surgical scrubs. You can see the patient on the operating table and this is what went down. Thank you. No, push, push. Okay. Hello? Hello, Mr. Green? Yes. Are you available for trial? It kind of looks like you're in an operating room right now.

I am, sir. I'm in an operating room. Yes, I'm available for trial. Go right ahead. Okay. If I could get you to raise your right hand for me, please. Do you solemnly state under penalty of perjury that the testimony you provide today will be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth? Yes, sir. Thank you very much. Um, what? I mean, don't worry about the patient lying open on the table. I mean, this is obviously very important to you. You can literally hear the heart rate monitor in the background going, boop, boop, boop.

I mean, as a nursing student, I've had the privilege of being put into a surgery, like, just to watch. To watch, yeah. And, you know, you can hear them talking in the chatting, the surgeons, you know, talking about what they got up to in the weekend. It's all respectful. Yeah. But to have someone, like, zoom in. Yeah. And, like, that must be so distracting.

Surely, if you're going before a judge, surely it speaks enough about your character that you're not going to get off. Right? Surely they'll go, okay, this guy has serious mental problems. Take the knife off him. I would be so pissed off. Because this story's gone viral now, and someone's leaked the footage, and you can see on the Zoom that you can see the judge,

you can see the surgeon who's clearly in surgery, and then I assume at the bottom that's the police officer who issued the ticket who is there to defend himself. Like if I saw this story, I'm like, oh, crack up, this Daily Mail story, I'm going to read this. And you go, wait, that's the guy who did my appendix the other day. I'd be seriously pissed off. No, he could definitely take that person to court if he was seen,

if the patient was seen at all in the video or anything. Also. A breach of privacy. Also, he can't be a very good surgeon if he needs to fight a parking ticket. Like, aren't surgeons meant to be rich? And aren't they supposed to have very steady hands? Surely he should have known to put money in the meter.
