Don't be jealous. Today on the show, you'll have a shot at winning. Did we jackpot this morning in the Secret Sounds?

We're at $20,000. 20 grand. We've got our 1,000 comments, I see. Yeah. Yeah. Nice. I commented twice. Well, what are you going to do?

You've already jackpotted it. You can't take it away now. So first guess is at four o'clock. Second guess is at five o'clock. $20,000 up for grabs in ZM's Secret Sound. But we'll start with tradie versus lady. If you want a shot at $50 cash, call up right now. I know $800 at M.

Our friends at KFC put the cash up, and all you have to do is get three questions correct. First, I need a tradie and a lady who want to take this on. You can be a lady tradie or a lady lady or a man tradie. Those are the options. Give us a call.

Time for tradie versus lady. Bree's off today, so I'll be running the whole game. It's your chance to win 50 bucks cash. Thanks to our mates at KFC. Let's meet our lady first. She's from Tamaki Makoto. She's 27 and she can spell mum with her tongue.

Welcome to the show, Mira. Kia ora. Hey, how's it going? What do you mean you can spell mum with your tongue? It's because I can do the clover thing with my tongue and so it kind of looks like an M. I don't know, I kind of loved it. You can curl your tongue up at the end so that it says mum.

Yeah. I thought you meant that you can lick the letters M-U-M and I was like, that's not that hard, but also kinky. No, let's keep it PG. Yeah, keep it PG. Okay, Mary, you can spell mum with your tongue. Will that help you in tradie verse, lady? We'll find out because you're taking on our tradie.

He's from Hawke's Bay. He's 34 and his whole site has been on TV except for him. Welcome to the show, Trey. What do you mean they've all been on TV except for you? What's that? Sorry, mate? You said your whole site has been on TV except for you? What's that? Sorry, mate? You said your whole site has been on TV except for you. No, no, my whole site's been on this,

so I'm tradie versus lady except for me. Oh, tradie versus lady. Sorry, it says TVL. I thought it was a typo. So you're the last person on your site to play tradie versus lady. No pressure, man. You better take out a win. Yeah, yeah, this will be two out of three if I get it.

Perfect. Okay, cool. Trey, your buzzer is tradie. Mira, your buzzer is lady. Here we go. First to three takes out the 50 bucks cash. Question number one. Christchurch's Addington Cup week will go ahead with

This one's not easy You all sing this song when you're drunk but who actually sings this song? Oh, Lady. Lady. Mira, who is that? Neil Diamond. It is Neil Diamond.

Well done. You just won the game. 50 bucks for you. Congratulations, Trey. Sorry, man. Oh, he's already gone. Salty. Ah, well, not your problem.

You're the champ, Mira. Congratulations. Sweet, thank you. First of all, though, I figured something out today. I've been keenly observing the way we are changing behavioural-wise. Is that a word? Behavioural-wise, is that a word, behavioural-wise, around the COVID-19 pandemic.

And I've learnt that men have completely changed the way they greet each other. They've had to, especially those who are still in lockdown here in Auckland and now in the Waikato. You guys will be joining us on this shortly. You can't handshake anymore. You can't handshake anymore.

You can't do that handshake where you awkwardly wonder are they going for a business handshake or a cool guy handshake. You can't hug. You can't kiss. You can't kiss your guy mates anymore because it's not socially distanced. So all we have to bond over now, this is how men greet each other. They walk up to each other. You take your hat off and you show each other how long your hair has gotten because you can't

go and get a haircut. That's if you have hair. It's quite awkward if the guy you're greeting doesn't have hair, if he's balding or something, but you can face that when you come to it. And then you look at your hair and you go, oh yeah, man, this whole thing sucks. The point is, guys' hair is getting out of control. My wife specifically

has said to me, keep the hat on. She said to me, I don't find it attractive. Ben out there is wearing a hat at the moment. I'm a hat guy anyway, but I've been hatting up every single day for maybe six weeks now. I successfully transitioned out of being a hat guy. I've been a hat guy for like five years

and I've successfully made it out. I've had to go back to being a hat guy. Well, welcome back. Because it's like overgrown, it's like an overgrown bush. My issues, I've only got like four hats. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Am I cool?

No, rotating them around, rotating them around, yep. One relationship, though, has broken the mould. I know some have, but I thought this one was quite brave because I know how much good hair means to her husband. Welcome to the show from the Fletch Vaughan and Megan show. It's Megan Pappas. Hi, Megan. Hello. Oh, my God god I haven't seen you forever

I can't imagine what your hair looks like I look like I look like I'm very close to looking like Jennifer Aniston On the early seasons of Friends Yeah I saw That was a popular haircut

Back then and not on a man But yeah I saw on your Instagram story that not once but twice has your husband been brave enough to let you take to his head with scissors. I feel I've broken my own cardinal rule

and I feel like I've gotten good at something I don't want to do because it's twice now that I've done it and it takes me ages. It takes like probably an hour and a half. Yeah. Because he is so pedantic. He's the worst customer.

I feel so bad for, like, his hairdresser. He has a bouffant, like a quiff at the front. It's very nice here. He has a full head of hair. Would you agree with me? I've always said this, and I get backlash when I say it, but now that you've done it, would you agree with me that men's haircuts

are more complicated than women's haircuts? Yeah. Oh, 100%. Because I'm quite keen for him to just cut my hair. All it will take is a bit of a trim off the bottom, you know? Straight bit. Make sure it's not too crooked. I would not touch my wife's hair.

No, no, no, no. Even if she begged me to, I wouldn't cut her hair because I know the damage that I would do. You have actually done quite a good job. Thank you. Yeah, it looks fairly sell-on, the job that you've done. Oh, my God. Is he happy with the treatment that you've given him,

a home haircut? So first time around, he was very appreciative. Second time around, I feel like I've gotten more critiques. Right, okay. Also, the tools that I'm using, the clippers are blunt, so each shave, I have to go so slow. Otherwise, he's like, ow, it's sling. You have a very easy defence for any of that.

Any screw-ups that you make or any pain you inflict, you just go, oh, come on, mate, what's the alternative? The biggest can't be choosers. The biggest can't be choosers, literally. You either look like you are Tom Hanks on Castaway or you take what you get. I'm close to letting my wife have a go at my hair. I let Bree do my hair last lockdown.

We're getting to that point. What's your advice for partners out there who are having to take to their partners and give them a haircut because of lockdown? Oh, God, if you can avoid it, don't do it. As soon as you start doing it, they'll keep coming back and asking you to do it. Oh, no, my advice is to do a really shitty job the first time.

Otherwise, they want to look fresh. He'll never go back to the barbers ever now. He'll go, why would I? He said that. He's like, let's just get us some nice clippers and maybe you can do it each time. I'm going to save myself $35 a month with this. This is bloody good.

Okay, so Megan's advice is don't do it or if you do do it, do a terrible job. Do a terrible job. I want to hear from some people. Buy them a hat for Christmas. That's the answer. Make them a hat guy. Yeah.

I want to hear from people this afternoon who have done it and maybe it didn't go well. Maybe you got bad feedback. Or maybe you found out, like Megan, that you've got a secret talent. Maybe you found out that hairdressing is in your DNA. I'll wait $100,000 right now. I want to know, have you cut your partner's hair and how did that go?

I'm talking specifically because of lockdown haircuts. All right? Let us know the deal. And what was their reaction like? Bree and Clint. Home haircuts, they're going to have to become the norm shortly. There is no hair salons opening in Auckland or the Waikato anytime soon. I mean, I don't want to jinx the Waikato. You guys could get it soon. But here in Auckland, we've given up and we are now talking to our partners

and going, just do the best you can. I'm tired of looking like Tom Hanks in Castaway. Sort me out. So if you've had to do that, I want to know, how did it go? What was the results like when you, an untrained professional, non-hair cutting professional, had a go at cutting your partner's hair? Gina's with us. Hi, Gina. Hi, guys. How are you? Good. Did you give this a go?

I certainly did. Yeah. I was very proud of myself. I thought I did a really, really good job, and even he was happy too. Right. Okay. Are we talking like a styled haircut, or did you just go vroom and shave the whole thing off? No, I styled it. Well, my mother's a hairdresser and my sister's a hairdresser

but I got none of that talent. So I've watched them over the years. So I did what I thought was the right thing and I didn't think it turned out too bad until I sent some photos to my sister. Yeah. And yeah, she critiqued the hell out of it. It was mine on one side and it was shorter on one side than the other. Yeah, but you don't need that kind of negativity. We're talking millimetres. Yeah, you don't need that kind of negativity in lockdown, Gina.

The most important bit, was your client happy with the home haircut that you gave them? A hundred percent. Then why do you care? That's brilliant. That's a great result. You know? Exactly.

I know. Okay. I didn't send her photos when I did it the next time. Did you just use the kitchen scissors, by the way? No, I didn't. What did you use? I borrowed the neighbour's clippers and she does her husband's hair, so I just borrowed those.

Yeah, right. Okay, so you had the right tools. That's pretty good. Let's talk to Erin. Hi, Erin. Hi, how's it going? Good. You're a regular at cutting your partner's hair, are you? I used to be.

Tell us what you used to do to your partner. So occasionally when he was getting sick of having long hair, he'd ask me to use the dog clippers to cut his hair. The dog clippers. The same what sort of wait what sort of dog have you got?

A Jack Russell. So you go over the dog and then turn around and go over your partner as well. How did dog No we made sure they were clean so.

Yeah that's fine. How did dog clippers go with human hair? Not too bad. I just did you know a number eight on the top and a six on the sides. And, I mean, he was happy with them. Yeah, right.

Okay. Well, why did you stop? Why don't you say that you used to do it? Why don't you still cut your partner's hair with the dog clippers? Well, he went to the hairdressers and then he kind of looked at the hairdressers' job and thought, okay, well, it's a bit better than what I get at home. That's the problem, eh? If you don't know how good, what you're missing out on,

then you don't really care. But the minute you dip your toe into the water, you go, oh, actually. Exactly. I went to the shearing shed and they didn't have to dust the dog hair off the clippers before they got out of here. I love the idea of you giving them a haircut too and you're like, oh, who's a good boy?

Who's a handsome boy? You look so good. Yes, you do. And then you spray him down with the hose and just towel him off. Pretty much, pretty much. Good. All right, well, there's some advice in there for everybody. If you are getting desperate and locked down and you need a haircut,

the advice we've had so far is borrow the neighbour's scissors or just bust out the dog clippers. It's a desperate time, everybody. We've got to do what we've got to do. Bree and Clint. Cross your fingers. Touch wood. And definitely don't jinx it.

20 grand, Ella, how good? Mm-hmm. We got those 1,000 comments on that Facebook post so here we go 20k what are you going to do with all those comments now that you've got them I really don't know

read through them all put them on my wall yeah good that's a good idea as long as they weren't for nothing you know 20 grand

all you have to do is figure out what this sound is right here if you know what it is you can have the money if you can get through Olivia you've managed to make it on air.

Congratulations. Oh, my goodness. Hello. Good afternoon. Have you ever had a guest at The Secret Sound before in any of ZM's 10 seasons of The Secret Sound? No, but I've had some really close calls where I'm like, oh, surely this time. And I got really disappointed and stopped calling.

But this time, I'm ready. This is it. Olivia, we don't usually do this, but before you submit your guess, are there any questions you'd like to ask Soundkeeper Ella? Oh. Does, I have an idea of what it is, but do I need to be like super specific

of exactly like what I think it is? but do I need to be super specific of exactly what I think it is? Yeah, good question, Ella. How specific does Olivia's guess need to be? I think it depends on your guess. If you're saying a car, well then it's such a big thing. Fair enough.

You need to be specific. But if it's more of like a little specific, a little thing, you know, like a picture frame, I don't know, then, you know, yeah, go for it. Okay. So is it fair to say she could say car door locks and you wouldn't go, sorry, what I needed was Suzuki Swift car locks. We don't need brands.

Good, good, good, good, good. Okay. We're all clear then. Olivia, are you ready to give it a guess for $20,000? I think so. All right, what do you think the ZM's secret sound is? Okay. I think the secret sound is the sound of a keyboard typing.

Oh, okay. Like, yeah, okay. It seems so simple, that guess that i know i know because the question about specificity i was like oh is it the space bar is it the answer yeah okay because that's what i was going to ask like what's the variation involved with typing on a keyboard but you're just saying so long as it could be any letter that's that's what your guess is right olivia yeah like either a space bar or the answer button, something like that. I think your broad guess of typing on a keyboard's good.

We know what it means. I think every key would sound the same. Oh, God, imagine if we had to go through every letter on the keyboard. The season would never end. Yeah, we'd go to Christmas with that. But, Olivia, I'll tell you now, oh, my goodness, you sound very excited and well done for getting through, by the way. It feels good. Thank you. I'll let you know, though. Oh my goodness, you sound very excited and well done for getting through by the way Feels good

Thank you I'll let you know though Typing on a keyboard, Clint seems convinced I just think it's a good, I think the K-I-S-S method, keep it simple stupid you know, it's straight up the middle it's so obvious it could be right Olivia

$20,000 I'm sorry that's not the secret sound No Olivia, $20,000. I'm sorry, that's not the secret sound. No. To be fair, I could only make it work with one of the clues, so I was kind of hoping for the best, but no good, Olivia. Sorry. It was so, I had it so fixed in my head because I was like,

oh, all three clues make sense. Like, I bend it to make it work, but that's disappointing. I've never been able to play the secret sound, but I imagine it must be really disappointing when you've convinced yourself that it's right. Yeah, absolutely. You know? Yeah. Okay, we'll keep trying, Liv.

See if you can go with a new sound. And soundkeeper Ella will return at 5 o'clock with another attempt at the secret sound. See you then, Ella. See ya. Yesterday at this time we talked about how the name Nigel is going extinct. The UK's Office for National Statistics released data revealing a huge shift in name popularity

and last year not a single baby was called Nigel. Not one. Not one cute little Nigel came out. No little baby Nigels. No one was like, I see this baby you know what he looks like? Nige. That baby isn't Nige. And I get it. I mean I don't want to say any other names because people might get offended if they've used it

but some names just don't feel like baby names, right? Yeah. I'll say this one to you because your dad has a name that I don't think of as a baby name. Yeah. Craig. Craig. I don't see a baby as being a? Yeah. I'll say this one to you because your dad has a name that I don't think of as a baby name. Yeah, yeah. Craig. Craig. I don't see a baby

as being a Craig. And I remember vividly my first year of high school and a guy in my class said, hey, I'm Craig. And I was like, no, you're not.

I was like, are you? He's like, yeah, why? You're not a young person called Craig. It's dad's name. There are young people out there called Craig, and that's not a name

that's going extinct. My point is, I can't put that name on a baby. I can't see that as being a baby's name. No offence to all the baby Craigs that are out there. Anastasia's grimacing. Has your friend just named their baby Craig? No, no, I haven't.

And I have nothing against Craigs either. Shout out to Ben's dad, great New Zealander. Yesterday what we didn't talk about, though, were the girls' names that are going are going extinct Yes there are no boy babies Or girl babies actually called Nigel But for the girls The names that are on the way out Here they are

These names are becoming less popular First of all Susan Very few baby Susans coming out Sally Really? Yeah Less Sallys I mean I could see a baby called Sally Yeah definitely coming out. Yeah. Sally. Really? Yeah.

Less Sally's. I don't, I mean, I could see a baby called Sally. Yeah, definitely. This is Sally the baby. Sally from Home and Away.

Yeah, good. Janice. Yeah, I don't know many Jans. I don't know many babies called Jans. I know a few Janices,

great New Zealanders, often work in payroll a Janice. That's where I imagine I'd find a Janus. But no babies coming out called Janus, well, fewer. The names that are going up for girls are Nancy, but not the Nancy you know of. N-A-N-S-I apparently is going up in popularity for babies. Mebley, M-A-B-L-I is going up.

And Skylar Rose, those are popular girls' names. But there's one name for girls that has not been used at all, in the UK at least. We don't have the New Zealand data, but we have fairly similar trends. The female name for girl babies that no one's used recently is Carol. Okay. There are no baby Carols. Now, Carol is a wonderful name. It's used recently is Carol. Okay. There are no baby Carols. Now, Carol is a wonderful name.

It's my grandmother's name. But again, I don't see it on a baby. And neither does anyone else. I can say that because there's very few Carols out there. Yes. Yesterday, what we did, in light of the fact that Nigel was going extinct, we looked for as many Nigels as we can.

It's like when you go out there and you try and find Kiwi. You just want to locate them, tag them, make sure they're safe, get an estimate of the population, right? And then just leave them be. Yeah, and then set them off to do their own thing. I thought we could do the same thing with carols today. The name may be going extinct, but how many carols are listening to ZM right now?

We have six phone lines here. Is it possible that we could fill the phones with Carols? Well, we've got five Nigels. Yeah. We've got five Nigels. Big number to beat. Can Carol beat the Nigels? I'm not sure.

I think Carol might be a generation above Nigel, and I'm not sure she's listening to ZM. But if she is, could you call us right now on 0800-DIAL-ZM? We're going to try and assemble the largest number of carols ever put to air. Yeah. And are you a young carol? You know? Are you bucking the trend?

0800-DIALS-ZM, where the carols at? Bree and Clint. Because we're on the hunt for a name which apparently is going extinct. That name is Carol. There are no babies in the UK born in the last 12 months with the name Carol. I think Carol is a wonderful name. It was my grandmother's name, my nan's name. She was a great person.

And I'm sure you out there listening, Carol, are also a great person. But how many of you can we get live on air this afternoon? I've got a good feeling about this, Ben. I think we may do better with the Carols, even better than we did with the Nigels. Yeah. Five Nigels. Can we get six Carols? Let's find out.

First line, 0800 dial ZM. Who's this? Carol. Carol! Now, I know it's rude to ask a lady her age, Carol, but could you tell me the decade in which you were born? 70s. 70s. Okay. Yep, good. Are you sad that me the decade in which you were born? 70s. 70s, okay.

Yep, good. Are you sad that the name Carol's on the way out? Not really. Not really? Couldn't really care. It just makes me more special. Doesn't it just? Okay, can you stay with me? I'm going to keep you on. I'm not going to put you on, Hob. Would you celebrate with me each time we get a new Carol on the line? Oh, definitely. Okay, let's bring line number

two on. Hello, line number two. Who's this? Carol. Carol! Yay, two Carols. Carol, your name's going extinct, but you still have it. You're surviving it. What decade were you born in?

In the 70s as well. Another 70s Carol. Do you guys know each other? No. No? It doesn't work like that. I don't know anybody else with my name. Do you guys know each other? No. No? It doesn't work like that. I don't know anybody else with my name. Do you not?

No. Right, well, you're going to meet some this afternoon. In fact, you've just met one. Will you stay on with us and celebrate any more carols that come on? Absolutely. Okay, two carols from the 1970s. Let's try another one. Line number three, who's this?

It's Carol. Yay! Yay! Carol, let me guess, born in the 1970s? I sure was. Yes! Shit, Carol was going off in the 70s, eh? It's like there weren't any other names available.

I reckon. Do you reckon it's going to make a resurgence? Do you reckon you're going to see some babies being born with the name Carol in 2022? I really hope not because I hate my name. Carol and Carol, have you got any words of support for Carol? Well, the more names out there, Carol just means that we're less special. Yeah, right. So you want this Carol to actually get rid of that name Carol.

You want her off the Carol train. Okay, stick with us, Carol number three. We've got to go to line four. Line four, what's your name? Carol. Carol! Yay! Go off, Carols.

Carol number four, what decade were you born in? I was the early 60s. Oh, early 60s, right. Guys, you're the original Carol as far as we're concerned. You're the oldest Carol we know. Yeah, probably. Yeah. Okay.

Let's keep this thing going. Let's bring another line on. Line number five. Hi, line five. Hi. Hi. Get ready to celebrate, guys. Line five.

What's your name? My name is Daisy Carol. Ah, Daisy Carol. Yeah, we'll take it. Yay! Do we take it? We take it, guys? Yeah, we'll take it. All right, we've got four Carrolls and a Daisy Carroll. We've got one line left. Let's bring it on. Line number six. What's your name? Carol. Carol! Yay! I feel like only one of our Carols is still cheering. Come on, guys. Look at all the Carols we found.

Surely you're excited by that. Definitely. Yeah, good. Okay, sweet. I'm excited. Hey, thanks, Carols. You're all great New Zealanders. And I'm the oldest one.

Oh, you're the oldest one. What decade were you born in? I was born in the 50s. The 50s. You win. Brie and one. What decade were you born in? I was born in the 50s. The 50s, you win. Bree and Clint. Bree's not here today. She's off, but I've got producer Ben in here because he's got some technology

news. What is that? That's the sting for technology noise. I did not make that. It needs an update. It's a bit outdated. You have been on the buttons today. You've recently bought yourself a MacBook Pro. Oh, you have?

Yeah. It's been so long. Yeah? And it feels good. Yeah, you like it? I mean, I still have the work laptop here, but it's nice. You're a PC guy. Have you figured out what all the buttons do yet?

No. Yeah, it takes a while. It's hard to go back and forth between Mac and Windows. It was a bad buy, but I enjoy it. It's fun. You watched the Apple announcement today. Can you give us the key takeaways of what's being launched by Apple today?

Yeah, it was yesterday. So yesterday they did this big launch. New MacBook, new AirPods, a bunch of new tech, a bunch of new accessories. New AirPods? New AirPods. Have they put the cord back on? No, they haven't. But the laptop, they've put like new stuff in this

and now they've brought back the SD card reader, an HDMI port. They've brought back a bunch of stuff. They're actually going back in? Yeah, they've gone, we're sorry. We actually are going to put this stuff back in. You know what? That is some of the best technology news I've ever heard. All they need to do now is put the headphone jacket back in the phone

and I think we're good. Wait, did they put a USB port in the MacBook? No, they didn't. I hate these people, eh? I have a MacBook and I hate these people. It's so annoying. Why would a computer not need a USB port? I don't know.

You know? Because when I bought my MacBook the other day and I was like, oh, now I'm going to have to get this accessory that goes, it's an extra $30 just like a USB port. I don't know. You know? Because when I bought my MacBook the other day and I was like, oh, now I'm going to have to get this accessory that goes, it's an extra $30, just like a USB in. And you need a dongle per USB. Also, they've obviously gone,

well, USBs are finished. And everyone's like, no, they're not. No, they're not. We're putting them in our house at the moment as PowerPoint. And they're like, no, they're finished.

We've decided. But they did that on the last model of MacBook and USBs weren't over. Fast forward three years, they're putting out a new model of MacBook and they're still sticking with it. We're like, guys, we're still using them. HDMI port?

I'm like, great. USB? No, no, no. No, no, no. Anyway, they brought out a new Mac. The minimum it's going to cost you is about $3,500 for the lowest spec. Yeah, okay.

And the new AirPods are about $300. They're a mix between the first ones and the second. There for the lowest spec. Yeah, okay. And the new AirPods are about $300. They're a mix between the first ones and the second. There's not much difference. Right, okay. But I wanted to touch on one of the accessories that they brought out. They brought out a lot of weird little accessories, whether it be a new case or whatever it is. Okay.

This one, they brought out a polishing cloth. If you're thinking like something to clean your glasses or your screen with or tissue, that's exactly what it is. So it's an Apple cloth. It's an Apple polishing cloth. Is that what it's called? It's literally what it's called. Apple cloth.

Yeah. So what is special about this cloth? Does it charge? No, it doesn't charge. Is it a wireless charging pad? No. Does it, is it self-lubricating? No. Is it a wireless charging pad? No. Does it... Is it self-lubricating?

No. Is it... What is it? What does it do? It just says here, just a polishing cloth made with soft material to clean the displays of every Apple product you own. So this is a cloth.

It's a sunglasses cloth. It's a sunglass. Do you want to know how much it is? Yeah, I desperately do. So this is part of the big Apple launch. Yeah. It's a new product that's been launched. Ben, how much for the Apple cloth?

$35 New Zealand. You've got to give it to them. They're the most valuable company in the world for a reason because they make you feel like you need to spend $35 on a tissue. The best part is Apple do the best photos ever. It's literally a photo of a square cloth. Bree and Clint. Google, are you down, down,

ZM's $50,000 Secret Sound. Season 10. Jackpotted this morning, didn't it? So it's up at $20,000 And the person who knows the secret sound Is the soundkeeper Ella Hi Ella Hello Hello Hello, hello

Hello, hello Okay, she's broadcasting from home She's literally Actually, I haven't asked you Is the secret sound in your house? Well, I made it, she's broadcasting from home. She's literally... Actually, I haven't asked you. Is the secret sound in your house? Well, I made it, let's say. So the sound you're hearing is me literally making it. Okay, I want to ask you a question which I feel like you can answer

and it's not going to break any rules. I know I tread the line a little bit, but I feel like you can answer this. Did you make it after lockdown began? Yes. You did? Yeah. So theoretically, the secret sound would have to be in your house or it's likely to be in your house because where else could you have gone, right? Exactly. Yeah. Yeah, I'll say that. Oh, we're working some stuff out here. Hi, Jess. Hi. I already know your guess and I feel like that information works really well with your guess, doesn't it? Yes it does. It's very ideal. Okay, yours is semi specific. So when you're ready, state what you think the secret

sound is. I'm just going to play the secret sound. This sound right here. What do you think that is? Okay, so my unspecific guess is just a door handle but I can give detail to make it more specific? Okay, so my unspecific guess is just a door handle but I can give detail to make it more specific. Okay, Ella, so the broad guess is door handle, but do you need more than that for it to be an eligible guess? Well, yes. Is it a door handle opening

or closing? What do you mean, Jess? So, my door handle is one of the long ones, not the knob, and it's not so much the door opening, it's just literally like a quick whack on the handle, which I can do if you wanted to hear. Oh, you've got one handy. I have.

Okay. I love it. So we're talking about a long door handle and you're talking about giving it a good old whack. Just a whack down and letting it spring back, but the door stays shut. Okay, put your phone right next to it for us. Okay, are you ready?

Yeah, we're ready, yep. All right. Oh. Oh. Yeah, are you ready? Yeah, we're ready. Yep. Alright. Oh! Yeah, okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. So, just so we're clear, door handle being whacked on. Is that the

guess, Jess? Whacked on, essentially, that is the guess, yeah. Okay, good. Oh, wow, Jess. I love how you brought the sound to us as well. Me too. That's the next step. What would you do with $20,000, Jess? I would love to take my mum on holiday.

She's a single mum, so I'd love to spoil her. Oh, that would be so sweet. Are you in Auckland at the moment? I'm not. I'm in Wellington. Oh, okay. So you can. They can go on holiday.

She can go to Marlborough. Yeah, she can go to South Island. Although the South Island don't want us dirty North Islanders down there. No, you can stay there. Yeah, yeah, true. Yeah, good point. So, I mean, you could go to Livin, you know? Mm-hmm.

Just up the road. Just up the road, yeah. She wants a holiday, Ella. Let's make her dreams come true. Well, I'll let you know now, Jess. Ooh, a door handle smacking down. One of the long ones, you've said. Yep.

Wow. Look, I like you, and I wish I could give you the 20k, but that is not the secret. That hurts. Thank you anyway. You're welcome, Jess. You've slammed the door handle in Jess's face. Sorry, Jess.

Actually, while Jess is here, before you go, Ella, are you eliminating all door handles or are you just eliminating whacking a door handle? I'm eliminating whacking a door handle. Are you eliminating opening a door handle? No. No, no, no, no. Oh, no.

That's not fair. Are you eliminating all long door handles? Well, like I said, at 4pm, it's like if someone guesses something to do with a car, I can't say no, you know, like rule out all the car things. So it's not as door handle like being a whack door or flex like that, but it could still be a door closing it. Is that right? Possibly.

Okay, back to the drawing board. Thanks closing it. Is that right? Possibly. Okay. Who knows? All right, back to the drawing board. Thanks, Jess. Thank you. All good. 20 grand up for grabs tomorrow morning with soundkeeper Ella. She'll be back. Thanks, Ella.

See you then. See ya. Bye. Secret Sounds brought to you by Neon. You can watch the TV series and movies everyone is talking about on Neon, our favourite Kiwi streaming service. I'm about to start Succession on Neon. Everybody is talking about this show.

So that's the one we're tucking into tonight alongside Love Island Australia. I'm about to start Succession on Neon. Everybody is talking about this show. So that's the one we're tucking into tonight alongside Love Island Australia. Bree and Clint. This is going viral today. It's a huge news story. Someone has released the screenshots of an unreasonable request they received from their boss. They work in a bar.

They're a hospo worker, and they released these messages where you can see the time stamp on the first message is 2.59am. So I mean, that's the first mistake. That's an early request. Yeah, right? I mean, I know hospo people work on a different

body clock, but still, save it for daylight hours, boss. Anyway, the message came in and it said, I need you to come in from 11am until 10pm today. We have an event scheduled and only one bartender. So what, at 3am, that text, they're wanting you to come in in less than nine hours.

That is rough. In eight hours time. That's rough. They replied back, no thank you, tomorrow is my day off. Good. Yeah. For me too. Yeah, no thank you.

Yeah, straight up. They replied, you need to be a team player. It isn't all about you. Please come in tomorrow. Now, at this point, the person said, look, it's three in the morning and I've been drinking. I was planning to be hungover tomorrow. It's my day off.

And I don't feel like working 11 hours. They wanted them to work from 11am until 10pm. They said, I don't feel like being hungover and working for 11 hours. And damage is done, I'm already drunk. And you're well within your rights to be. The boss replied, getting drunk is

not a good look. If you can't stay prepared sometimes, things happen and we need to cover each other. What? Is his boss expecting him to like walk around in his uniform ready to just show up at the bar at any time? Ready to go and do the life-saving work

of bartending. That's the other thing about bosses who take the job way too seriously. They're like, this is urgent. No it's not. You work in a bar. I can't come in. If I can't come in, too bad. They replied, you're telling the bartender not to drink on his time off.

Want to go to the chefs and tell them not to eat when they're off the clock? Dude, if you had given me more notice, I would have considered it and not had any drinks so I wouldn't have to work that long hungover. But you waited too long. I'm already drunk and I don't feel like coming in and working 11 hours while hungover.

Do you? Anyway, he goes on and he says, you do it yourself basically. And he said, we're going to talk about this and your attitude when you come in on Sunday. Yeah. To which the employee, this is all happening at 3 o'clock in the morning,

by the way, the employee replied, no, we're not going to talk about it. Bartenders are needed all over the place right now and I think I'll just go and work at one of the other dozen places hiring around town. I'm fed up with you. And they said,

give me a call. Don't make such an impulsive decision. You're making a mistake. It's because you're drunk. You think it's a good idea. When you wake up tomorrow, you're going to regret this. To which they replied, eat my ass. Polite, responsible.

Three words says it all. Because by then you've already quit. So what do you care? You know, you're well within your rights. I think you're well within your rights if you feel like you're being unreasonably called upon to tell your boss to eat your... I won't say it.

Yeah, yeah. I just think it's a brilliant end to the conversation. There's no coming back from that. It was unreasonable and they recognised that they refused to do it. What happens is a lot of the time people know that it's unreasonable and they refuse to stand up for themselves too. They go, oh, I need this job or I really like this job.

And the boss goes, yeah, I know they like this job. I'm going to take advantage of them and make them work their ass off. Because some people aren't as lucky that they can't just walk across the road to another bar. 100%. Some people desperately need the job that they have. And, yeah, that is unfortunate. But I thought this afternoon we could take some calls from people

and call out some unreasonable bosses, not by name, I don't want a lawsuit or anything, but did you have an unreasonable request from your boss, your employer, or just someone senior to you at work? Did they ask you to do something way over the top? And you're like, uh, no, sorry, that's not in my job description. I won't be doing that.

Let's hear about the worst bosses in New Zealand. Oh, $800. You can text your experiences into 9696 as well. Bree and Clint. Bree's away today. She's back. Oh, we're actually having a break. We'll be back next week.

But right now we're talking about this text conversation. It's going viral where a hospital worker has shared screenshots of messages from their boss at three o'clock in the morning saying, I need you to work today. They're like, nah, Bull, I'm drunk. And he's like, well, that's irresponsible. You should always be ready to work. And they were like, no, I shouldn't be. Tomorrow's my day off and I want to be hungover. Anyway, they ended up quitting over text, which I think is totally fair enough. And I think it takes balls to do that,

but they did the right thing. So we want to talk today about unreasonable expectations or requests put on you by your boss. What happened? Josh has called up. Hey, Josh. Josh. Oh, John. Oh, sorry.

It's John. G'day, John. How are you going? Good, mate. You're good. You, sorry. It's John. No worries. G'day, John. How are you going? Good, mate. You're good. You've got a totally unreasonable boss. What does he expect of you? He is.

He wants me to turn up every day and work when I get there. Unbelievable. Who is the slave driver, John? Sheesh. The nerve of some people, right? Yeah, the nerve of some people, right? Yeah, there's the cheek of it, I reckon. In all seriousness, though, have you got a pretty good boss? Is he reasonable?

Yeah, no, he is, actually, to be fair. So long as you show up, right? Yeah, no, I'm with you, John. Some days off, some more days off would be good. I'm all for a four-day week. Let's talk to Anonymous. Hello, Anonymous. Hi, how are you today?

Good, how are you? Good, thank you. You've got a totally unreasonable boss. What happened? I have business owners that were parents and their son was the manager and basically I had to be

prepared on a Saturday on my day off if he needed to play cricket to just fill in for a couple of hours. Hit the ball. No. Yeah. I feel like, I've never been in this situation, but I feel like you never want to get caught up in a family business

because you're never going to... I'm not there anymore. No. No, you're never going to win, right? It's always going to be them against you. And if everybody wants Christmas off, guess who's not getting it, right? You're going to be them against you. And if everybody wants Christmas off, guess who's not getting it, right? You're going to be at the bottom of the list. But I feel like Christmas, like playing cricket is a bit

extreme to have you on standby. I hope they were paying you to be on call that whole time. I hope you were getting some money just to be ready at home to go in and work. I got some money, but it was a waste of my day off. Yeah, right. What was the industry? Don't say, right. What was the industry? Don't say the workplace.

What was the... Hospo. Hospo. Yeah. Right, okay. Good. Well, I'm glad you're out of there, Anonymous. Let's talk to another Anonymous person. Hello, Anonymous.

Hi, how you going? Good. You work at an unnamed supermarket, or you did. Do you still work there? Until next week, yep, I do. Oh, so you have resigned. You just haven't finished up yet? Yeah. Okay, so what is the unrealistic expectation

your boss had of you? What did you get asked to do? So unfortunately this happens kind of often, but I work as a checkout operator and we get asked often to clean the customer toilets and my boss had asked me to do it and I went down and there was poo just everywhere. Like this person just didn't know what a toilet was, I swear. It was the most disgusting thing I've ever seen. And I just walked straight back to my boss and I said,

this is way above my pay grade. I'm not cleaning poo. That is, oh my god. You'd be surprised how often it happens too. Really? Really? People have a thing for decimating supermarket toilets. You're right that it's above your pay grade. It's also unrealistic

to get you to do it because if you're a checkout operator, you have to go back to handling people's food, you know? Oh, exactly. You can't be in there cleaning up a poonami and then going back and scanning through somebody's peas and carrots, you know? It's not – that's shocking. And you're right, it is above your pay grade

because if you're a supermarket, yeah, they've got to get a cleaner in. So you said no. Was your boss understanding when you said no? She was a little bit pissed at first, but she ended up giving somebody else a note because I said, I'm not doing that. Like, no way. Good for you.

Is that why you resigned? No. Oh, there's more. Well, maybe we'll save that for another day. Hey, thanks, Anonymous. Good for you. Good luck with your next job, okay? Oh, thank you.

There's some incredible text coming through on this. Just remember if you feel like you're being asked to do something unreasonable, you don't need to do it. You do have rights and you can always quit over text messages like that person we talked about before. Bree and Clint. It's my birthday. It's my birthday.

Do you like it? Is it a good birthday banger? I think I prefer the first song. Oh, you like freaks out of all of those?

I think so. Jeez, well, you were never going to get freaks for your birthday banger. It was like almost 20 years after your 16th birthday. That song's actually as old as me. This song right here? Yeah. Oh, Freaks is. No, not Freaks.

He will be blasting that around Christchurch. Are you kidding? Yeah, he loves that song. Does he? He loves making that... You know what? Just in case he's listening, I do not want to deprive him of that. So I want to do it for Marty, your dad, and I want to do it for you, Mike.

Congratulations, you're going to win Birthday Banger today. Yahoo! There you go. Enjoy your long weekend in the Bay of Plenty, my friends. There we go. There we go. The winner of Birthday Banger today is Timmy Trumper and Savage. It's Freaks on ZM, Brie and Clint.

Brie and Clint. Right now, I said before that Her Majesty the Queen has been banned from doing something, and that might be a bit click-baity the way that I said it, but she has been asked to stop doing something that she loves. Been a rough old year for the Queen. Lost her husband. Yeah.

And this thing she's been told not to do, you'd want to do if you'd lost your bloody husband. Especially if you're the Queen and you're bloody, he's the only one who knows what you've been through over the last 70 years. Also, she's building up to her 70th year on the job. Imagine doing any job for 70 years.

Especially that job. It's not any job. I mean, she gets to do it from multiple palaces. That is true. It's alright. But you know, 70 years on the job Can't retire The Queen's doctors

Have told the Queen That she needs to Get off the piss Is that the tentacle Yeah that's what they said They said mum please get off the piss Vanity Fair is reporting That the 95-year-old manic monarch has been advised by her doctors to stop her evening martinis

and stick to only having alcohol on special occasions. Are you meaning she actually has a nightly martini? She actually has a nightly martini. I thought she would have been like a scotch on the rocks kind of like, you know, like she's like. I know for a fact she's big on the gins. Oh, okay. She likes, I don't know what this drink is, but she enjoys gin and Dubonnet.

Dubonnet. I think it's a fancy. It's well above our pay grade. Yeah. She also likes Zaza cocktails. I don't know what those are, but nightly she'll have a Martini. I imagine it's quite A stiff martini as well Yes

Yeah She's got a lot on her mind And they've said Lizzie no Get off the piss Save it for special occasions As well What is a special occasion

For the Queen Obviously you've got Your usuals Like New Years Christmas Queen's birthday That's a big one for her Queen's birthday

Yeah Two martinis Always confused me How she had two. Bottomless brunch with the bees, with the gals, with the gal pals. Yeah, she doesn't like the cheap champagne they serve. No, no, no. She's not getting around that anymore. In all seriousness, they've said that she needs to,

if she wants to go on her Northern Hemisphere autumn tour, this is real, I'm not joking. She's going on a Northern Hemisphere Autumn Tour. This is real. I'm not joking. She's going on a Northern Hemisphere Autumn Tour. Weird time to wheel the Queen out in the middle of a pandemic. Surely you keep her safe at home and you're like, just drink all the martinis you need. And also, like we said, she has a lot of celebrations for her. Platinum 70-year Jubilee.

I just think it's risky. If you've found the method of preserving a person into old age like her, because she's doing bloody well for someone in their 90s, late 90s, still in charge, still working. If her thing is pickling herself with the odd martini or two, surely you don't rock the boat, right? No.

Surely you go, you know what, if that's what you need. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Yeah, true. Also, you try being the one telling a 93-year-old that they can't have a martini anymore. No, thank you. No, thank you.

I reckon she'd throw a book at you and go, get the hell out. Play ZM's Brand Clint. On Insta, Facebook, TikTok, and live weekdays from 3 on ZM. Feed by KFC. Get the full menu delivered to your door with the KFC app. Play ZM.
