ZM Free and Clint.
It is a long weekend, that'll blow your skirt up and if that doesn't do it for you, Eli
Matheson's here.
And I've been blowing skirts up for years, that's what they know me for.
I totally believe you.
Clint's away today but Eli is filling in and it's so good to have you here because
you were also the opener for Fletch
Vaughan and Hayley live last night.
Yeah, such a hot gig. So much fun.
Full house at Sky City Theatre.
It was huge. You were hilarious.
The show was amazing.
Thank you to everyone that came out. We will talk about
that more in the show later.
But a lot of stuff on the show
today. More opportunities to get you to see
Olivia Rodrigo at the Jingle Ball.
You just have to listen out for the Olivia Rodrigo song.
Be the first to call 0800 DIAL ZM
and we'll put you on that list.
I was just thinking,
I hope I don't have to say the phone number anytime
because I might get confused.
Do you want to test it?
0800 DIAL ZM.
Oh, it's a natural.
That's 0800 3442596.
Was that right?
Was that right?
I feel like you put one extra number in there, but...
Let's pretend it was right.
Let's pretend it was right.
It's a roundabout.
That's very impressive.
Thank you so much.
You've been texting too much.
Let's kick off the show, though, as per usual,
with Tradie versus Lady.
$50 up for grabs thanks to KFC.
Bree and Clint.
Eli Matheson joins us for a game of Tradie versus Lady.
It's Tradie versus Lady.
Three, two, one, let's go.
Here we are.
The tradies and the ladies have been in quite the battle all year.
We've been keeping score, Eli.
It's a rivalry of the times.
For the ages.
The biggest rivalry on the world.
But here it is just a name that rhymes
and pretty much anyone can play for any team.
That's how it works.
The score update for the year, the ladies are on 97, the tradies on 87.
Oh, come on, tradies.
Catch up, lads.
Let's see if the ladies can pull it out of the bag today.
Let's meet our tradie.
He's from Auckland.
He's 19 and he loves to drink Blue V.
Welcome to the show, Charlie.
Hello, Charlie.
Hey, guys.
How much do you love Blue V, Charlie?
How many are you having a day?
Normally only two maximum.
Oh, two's keeping it in.
What flavour is Blue V?
Yeah, it's just a lovely flavour, you know.
Is it blueberry?
Huh?
Is it blueberry flavour?
Oh, I don't know what flavour it is.
Blue?
Yeah.
It's just blue flavour.
Blue flavour, yeah.
God, we're idiots, Eli.
Me too.
I'm so stupid.
Sorry for questioning that.
Let's see who you're taking on, Charlie.
She's from Christchurch.
She's also 19 and she's obsessed with Taylor Swift, aren't we all?
Welcome, Zara.

in a tent outside?
No, I got a reserve ticket.
Okay!
I didn't know we were in the presence of money.
Yeah, someone's 19 but already earning.
Good on you, Zara.
That's so exciting, mate.
Here's the rules.

Okay, first question.
In the movie Aladdin, what is the name of the
song that Jasmine and Aladdin sing on
the magic carpet? Lady. Yes, Zara?
Part of Your World.
Oh, that is not right.
Is it not? No, Charlie,
do you want to guess?
No idea.
We're
looking for a whole new world.
Part of your world is from A Little Mermaid.
Oh, my God.
No wonder she got confused.
A whole new world.
A new fantasy point of view.
It's a bit of a country version there.
Yeah, I love the country version of Aladdin.
It's the best one.
All right, question number two.

Oh, it's a good guess.
But no, Zara, you may as well give it a guess.
I'm just going to...
This is...
I have no idea.
I'm just going to say T-Y
dollar sign because why not?
I mean, that is a bold guess and
way off. It's Rihanna.
A bold guess didn't pay off
but we appreciate it. Alright,
still one to the ladies. Alright, the
greatest basketballer of all time, Michael Jordan,
he's reported to be worth three billion
US dollars. What team did he

Was that a complete guess from you?
It was a complete guess. I mean, everyone in New Zealand's been on Shortland Street,
even I've been on it.
Yeah, I've been on it a couple of times.
You've been on it, too.
Nice work, Zara.
We'll get that $50 from KOC sent out to you, mate.
Thank you so much.
Have a great long weekend and enjoy that Taylor Swift concert.
Bree and Clint.
I can't wait to get into this next topic.
This is such an exciting topic.
We're going to get there in a roundabout way.
The election just happened, right?
Some new people are entering Parliament.
And one of the people there's a lot of buzz about is a new Green MP.
She won Wellington Central. Green Party's never won it before. She ran a beautiful campaign.
Young person, out in the streets, getting to know the students. And her name is Tamitha Paul.
What? Tamitha.
Tamitha. I think you're pronouncing it wrong. It's your accent. It's Tabitha.
I've got her website right in front of me,
and the website is Tabitha with an M, Paul.com.
I have never heard of the name Tabitha.
And you've got to wonder,
do you think her parents had maybe just heard the name Tabitha,
stored it away, and then maybe hadn't heard it in a few years,
and then were like, oh, there was that beautiful name I heard one time, Tabitha, stored it away, and then maybe hadn't heard it in a few years, and then were like, oh, there was that beautiful name I heard one time,
Tamitha.
It's not a name, right?
I don't.
You know what I think has happened here?
Her parents, like many of us, studied an arts degree,
never used it, and decided this is where it's going to come in handy.
Yeah, they were like inches away from putting a dollar sign in the name.
I'm going to take creative control here
and use some of my background in the arts
and create a whole new name.
Because I just Googled as well, Tamitha name,
and the first result is, is Tamitha a name?
Is there any famous Tamithas?
I've never heard of a Tamitha.
If I Google Tamitha, let's see who comes up first.
I mean, Tamitha, I don't recall any.
Tamitha Paul comes up first because she's the only person called Tamitha.
You know what's great having a name like that?
You're never going to have to fight anyone for an email address.
Nah, and if you want a personalised plate, it's probably yours.
Boom.
Just straight Tamitha.
Tamitha at gmail.com.
That's a power move.
That's a power email. Yeah.
100%. I've got a friend called
Kyron. Kyron?
Yeah, so that's just
so close to Kieran, but it's Kyron.
Right, I was going to say just
one letter off. Yeah.
Kyron. Kyron. I've
never heard that name before either.
So I went to his wedding recently
and then his sister spoke as well
and his sister's name was something like Tristy.
You know, it was another like made up name.
It's nice.
It's different.
It's unusual.
What about Tristy?
Tristy.
Epony Ray.
I like it.
People don't think my name's real a lot
because I'm Eli and it's just Eli
and everyone just presumes that I'm Elijah.
Yeah, right.
You're just E-L-I.
Just Eli, just as it is.
Like, I love the people that take such a classic name like Christy
and just change one letter out and it becomes a whole new thing, Tristy.
Tristy, yeah.
Why not?
Why not?
You've got control over this child's life for the next however long.
It must be such a curse.
Like imagine being Tamitha and what's the coffee for?
Tamitha.
Tabitha?
No.
Your whole life you would get Tabitha.
Are you sure it's not Tabitha?
No?
I'm sure.
I'm 100% sure that my name is Tamitha.
We should just start a business where we take classic names
and change one letter out.
Like Bob, you just put an S in, it becomes Sob.
Yeah.
But then people would think, you know, you were calling him an SOB.
Yeah, that's not very nice.
Which is not a nice name.
Bree, just change it to...
Tree.
Tree.
That's my daughter, Tree.
I feel like there are probably some trees at Montessori schools and stuff.
Yeah, I'd say.
Gorgeous little trees.
Tree.
Oh, how cute's little Tree.
Tree's acting up, sorry.
He's a bit special.
It's autumn.
But we wanted to know, is there anyone out there,
is your name almost a name?
I love this.
Is it a name that's just slightly different from like a mainstream name?
Just off.
I'll call it.
Even if it's just spelt different.
You know, like I feel like there's some people and their name is Jim,
but it's got two Ms.
I love the creative spelling.
We'll take those as well.
Bree and Clint.
We are talking about names that have a slight difference.
Maybe it's a spelling difference
or maybe you've just created a name based on a common name.
Yeah, Tamitha Paul is the new MP for Wellington Central.
So Tamitha, not Tabitha.
Never heard of it before.
Very confused.
It's Tamitha coming through.
Tamitha's coming through.
And someone did text through.
They said, I know a Tamath.
I think they mean Tamitha. Or maybe there is
also someone out there. A Tamath.
What name do we like better?
Tamitha or Tamath?
Imagine if you were called Tamath
and you weren't good at math.
See, that's rough. Yeah, that'd be a hard life.
It's a lot of pressure, you know.
Let's go to
caller number one.
You're calling and remaining anonymous because it is your name that is quite unusual.
Yes.
Well, my name is actually Monika, but people actually mispronounce my name as Monica.
So you're Monika?
Yes.
Monika.
How is it spelt different than Monica?
Mine has a K instead of a C.
Okay.
I have seen Monica spelt with a K.
Not often.
Oh, yeah.
But never pronounced in the way that yours is pronounced.
Did your parents come up with that name?
I'm actually named after my auntie on my dad's side, Monika.
So it's like a family heirloom being passed down.
I quite like it. I don't mind it. How often do you have to correct people though?
All the time, ever since I was little. The bane of your existence, Monika?
Yeah, I kind of look out for Monika now and I'm like, yep, that's me. It's actually
Monika, but yeah.
I said it wrong just then.
Bree just did it.
Bree's known you 20 seconds and she's already getting your name wrong.
Sorry, Monica.
Sorry, Monica.
I've got to write that time.
I'm so sorry.
Thank you for calling through.
Some of the text coming through on this is so good.
Someone said, my son is named Lincoln, spelt like Lincoln Park.
I love that.
If you don't know Lincoln Park, that's L-I-N-K-I-N.
Lincoln.
Gosh, I haven't thought about Lincoln Park in a while.
Better than spelling it like LinkedIn.
You know, that's a whole new level.
LinkedIn.
That's very unique.
My name is Taryn, not Karen or Sharon.
Taryn.
Taryn.
Yeah, quite unusual, Taryn.
Someone else said, my partner's name is Jason,
but it's spelt with a Y.
Lol.
I love how they find it funny.
G'day, Heather.
Sup?
Sup, Heather.
Sup, Heather.
My friend's name is Philinda.
Wait.
Philinda with an F.
Philinda?
Philinda.
No, it's not.
You're joking.
You're messing with us.
I'm not kidding.
There's a database that I use in my job that's countrywide,
and she's the only one.
If I need to find her, I put her first name in
because no other person's coming up in that search result.
She's like Cher.
You just have to give her one name.
That's it.
Felinda.
Wait. I just need to clarify.
Heather, is it Felinda or Selinda?
Selinda, F for french fry.
Oh, Selinda.
No.
Felinda.
Felinda. Yeah.
See, this is her whole life.
What is happening right now?
Poor Selinda slash Felinda.
She hates it.
I bet she hates it.
Poor thing.
I reckon if you'd be able to use it, you'd be like,
oh, I want a cup of tea.
Can you Felinda Kettle?
Thanks for calling, Heather.
We love it.
A few more people texting through.
They said, Kia ora, Bree and Eli.
My son's name is Zagus.
Very uncommon name.
Lol.
I love a little lol at the end. You know what happens in Zagus. Stays Very uncommon name. Lol. I love a little lol
at the end. You know what happens in Zagos.
Stays in Zagos. Exactly.
Someone said
my name is Dedrick. I've never met
another Dedrick. Dedrick?
Just Derek with an extra stray D. Is it
Derek and Frederick? Yeah, I guess
they are combined, eh? Dedrick.
This was producer Claude's favourite.
Someone texted through and said,
Livia, it's literally the bane of my life,
explaining it's like Olivia without the O.
One time someone called me labia.
Coffee for labia?
It's hot.
Careful, it's hot.
G'day, Kylie. How are you? Hi, Kylie. Good. How are you guys hot. G'day, Kylie.
How are you?
Hi, Kylie.
Good.
How are you guys?
We're going well, Kylie.
Tell us, what's the name that's almost a real name?
So it's my mum.
Her name is Nichelle.
With an M for Nancy.
No, it's not.
It can't be.
Nichelle.
Yep.
Nichelle.
Has your mum ever met another Nichelle?
I don't think so, no.
Pussy.
Where did they get Nichelle from?
I don't know.
Apparently my grandfather just liked the name and what they ran with.
Did you feel, like, pressured to carry on that?
Like, do you have children and did you consider using those names?
Passing it on.
I did consider it as a middle name for my daughter,
but I knew my mum would kill me.
Really?
Yeah, because it's kind of like, we like Nicole,
but we also like Michelle.
So let's make a name that's not as good as either of them.
And call her Nichelle.
Oh, we'll send Nichelle our love, okay?
Yeah, I will. Oh, so good. I send Nichelle our love, okay? Yeah, I will
Oh, so good
I love Nichelle
Do you want a few more from the text machine?
I love some more
There's some great ones
I liked one that said
I called my son Jaya
Like Maya with a J
Not sure if that counts
Yes, that counts
No, that's on the money
Jaya, we love it
Someone said my best friend was named Charlie
But it was spelt Chia As in love it. Someone said, my best friend was named Charlie, but it was spelt Chia, as in chia seeds.
And Riley, Chia and Riley, Chia-er-ly?
And his name was Charlie.
That is literally going to cause that poor kid
so much trouble the rest of his life.
I don't reckon one person in that kid's entire life
will get the name right the first go.
Surely not.
Someone else said,
There is a kid in my son's kindy called Zach with two Ks.
Z-A-K-K.
Not as bad as Chirally.
No, Chirally.
Chirally sounds like a brand of health drink.
Eli Matheson filling in, like you did last night.
What a night it was at Fletch Vaughan and Hayley's first ever live show.
So cool.
You opened for them.
You were the opening act.
How long was your set last night?
I did about 15 minutes, I think.
People were still kind of coming in and I was, you know,
kind of just warming the room up for the show.
It didn't faze you, though?
Yeah.
Well, I've got to say, some of the people who were coming in late were
staff of Inzy and Emmy.
I may have been one.
In fairness, I was at another
work thing that I had to be at so I wasn't
fashionably late. Fair enough, fair enough.
But you killed it, mate. You were so
good. Big room at Sky City.
Big old room there. Big old room.
And yeah, had to navigate some couches that
were on the stage you know it wasn't it wasn't built for a bit of stand-up but i did i did what
i could you know mate you absolutely killed it and warmed the crowd up beautifully for such an
amazing show from fletch horn and hayley like everyone there was just having the best time
it was so cool to see all these people are are big fans of the show, you know, getting so excited for all the segments live
and just like it's everything you'd think
a breakfast radio show at night live would be.
It was everything and more
and they were very dusty on the radio this morning
because I think the celebrations went on.
Yeah, I was backstage with them
and watching how many little Rufino glasses were getting put away.
Yes.
And I was thinking, don't you guys have to get up at 4 in the morning?
I'm not your mum.
I'm not your mum.
They threw caution to the wind.
I met this lovely woman last night after the show who came up to me.
She was so nice and she said, Brie, I've listened to your guys's show, the Brie and Clint show, for years and years
and I love your guy's show so much.
Little plug there for our show.
People are already listening to it actually, Brie,
so you don't need to plug it
because they're already listening.
This isn't the place to plug it, eh?
Yeah.
We'll do it anyway
just to make myself feel good.
She said to me,
she goes,
I love your guy's show so much.
It's so nice to meet you in person
because I wanted to tell you
that your guys' show was a part of my birth plan.
And I went, what?
Your birth plan?
And she said, yes, I was having a home birth and a part of my plan
was to have your guys' show live on the radio as I gave birth to my baby.
What?
And I was like, oh my God, I'm honoured.
But also, what?
Why would you?
Why?
I mean, love this show.
Great show.
But I don't know.
You wouldn't want to give birth listening to this show?
Don't you want something more calm,
like kind of ocean sounds?
Like some Enya or something?
Some Enya.
Sail away, sail away.
Is that Enya?
Yeah.
Okay, good.
And a beautiful rendition.
Thank you.
Thanks so much.
Not this show being like,
hey, do you have a weird name?
Call in.
And then she calls in.
She's like, yeah, my name's Jordine.
By the way, I'm giving birth.
To a Tristy.
A gorgeous little Tristy.
Yeah, a little Tristy.
She's here.
She's crowding.
Would you believe it?
Tristy's a home birth.
It doesn't matter.
Bree and Clint.
What we do want to talk about is people sharing crazy secrets in their books.
Everyone's doing it.
Everyone's just like blurting out everything under the sun.
So Jada Pinkett Smith's got a
book coming out. That's how we found out that her and Will have
basically not been together since 2016 and
when the slap happened she was
only his wife in technicality. Yeah.
And then now Brittany is just
dropping secret after secret after
secret. Do you think she'd text
Justin before any of this? No.
Yeah. I don't think so. I don't
think they're friends.
You wouldn't be.
Nah, not after the stuff that she has revealed in her memoir.
Well, these are the bits that we're getting.
The memoir's not out yet.
We already knew it was kind of cooked that he put a Britney Spears lookalike in the Crimea River video and then-
Claiming that she cheated on him and now she's saying,
not true, he cheated on me first.
Oh, gosh.
Are you holding on to any big secrets that you'll finally let out in your book?
Guys, I'm finally ready to reveal that I'm pretty boring, so no.
Yeah.
Have you?
Have you thought about this, what secrets you would put in a book?
Here's a thing that I did that I never want to tell anyone,
but Brittany getting dumped by Justin over text made me think of it.
My first girlfriend.
And of course.
What?
Yeah, I mean, from that sentence.
Wait, is that the secret?
You're actually straight?
Yeah, I'm actually straight.
I've just been putting it on.
God, the truth bomb.
No, but I did date a woman at one point.
And it didn't go well, as you can imagine.
But the first girlfriend I had at high school,
I dumped her over MSN Messenger.
And I, this is so ruthless.
And you know when you date someone and you're like 13
and basically it just means you hold hands at lunch once
and then you're dating.
That's pretty much the extent of our relationship.
But I did dump her by writing,
you're dumped, you are,
I spoke, you're, you are dumped on MSN. That hurts even more.
Flipped that MSN message across.
Any emojis?
Blocked her.
That's so mean, Eli.
Isn't it?
Yeah, I'm a scumbag.
You are, no wonder.
I'm an absolute scumbag.
I'm so glad that you're actually gay
because imagine you out there
in the world, you'd be the biggest F boy.
Yeah, at least if I treat men like this, they deserve it.
They like it.
They want more.
I'll drop a truth bomb.
I've never talked about this on radio, but,
and I'm not going to give details on it,
but early in my radio career in Australia, we had, I want to say, some
famous musicians come in and I may have hooked up with one of them.
The Veronica's.
I'd say on that level, not the Veronica's, but I'd say they're on that level of fame.
But I'm not going to say.
Daniel, if you're listening, I still love you.
Can you call me back, please?
Yeah, that's my, that's.
Oh, my gosh.
That would be the whole book.
So it'd be pretty boring.
Yeah, but I want to read that.
I want to know every detail now.
You're like, I want to read that article.
Yeah.
Because that's all it would be.
We want to put it out there this afternoon.
Save space.
You can remain anonymous.
But what would be the secret that would be in your book?
Yeah, what's the thing you've been holding on to for years?
Yeah, what do you want to get out?
You can text it through to 9696 or if you're feeling brave, call us 0800-DIALS-IT-M.
Do we have a little voice disguiser so that they don't know?
Producer calls us like, no, but they can put on a voice.
You can put on a fun little accent and then no one will know it was you,
as long as you're good at accents.
Yeah, and you pick an appropriate accent to do.
Yes, and please just pick a white one.
Yeah.
If you are white.
Do that.
I'm so glad that you're here because I feel like we share the same sense of humour when it comes to dark secrets.
Yeah, and these secrets that are coming through on the text machine right now are so delightful.
Some of them are so sinister.
Very, very good.
I think we should kick it off with someone text through and said,
you might not expect this from me because I'm a young female,
but my ex cheated on me,
so I went around to their house and took a poo on their doorstep.
All power to you.
That is incredible.
You've got to hope they're kind of like the doorway's a bit off the street.
Like my house, the doorway's like you're on the street. Right on the street.
People are walking to school.
You don't want to get caught doing that
not at all not at all do you think when you turned up to the house and you you see the poo
that you could identify that it's human or not that feels like that feels like a radio game in
the making human or dog play some catchy music that would be fun uh someone else said uh this is probably my favorite
text that we have received all week so well done to whoever this was these are your secrets that
you'd put in a book it's not very scandalous but i used to melt my brother's lego pieces
on the front of the fireplace just enough so that it wasn't noticeable.
But so it wouldn't fit on the other pieces because he wouldn't let me play with them.
It was funny watching him explain to my parents that his Lego was broken.
That is.
And then they sent another follow-up text saying,
I should mention that he posted a letter and a broken piece to Lego,
but never heard back from them.
That is so calculated, so evil, so clever.
I'm so proud of whoever this person is.
You know, I think siblings bring out the best evil in us.
Yeah.
You know?
That's where the true evil comes from.
I had a friend with a little brother.
Sorry, this is going to get weird.
I'm going to have to bring out poo again.
But his little brother was annoyed at him.
So he like rubbed a little bit of poo on all of his toys.
This is when we were like seven and he was five.
That is evil.
I know.
You're like, it was last week.
He's ropeable about it.
He's 32.
Someone else texted through and they said,
I went for an early morning run on my honeymoon in unfamiliar territory,
ended up near a beach, really needed to go.
Oh, another poo story.
Really needed to go, number two.
So I stripped down and went for a swim to do my business.
As I was getting out of the water, a guy appeared, also naked.
One came straight up to me and grabbed me.
Turns out it was a
gay nude beach.
And, ah well, it turns out
I was gay as well. Not married
anymore. And that was a huge
day and I wouldn't have done it if I'd known you'd
just done that in the ocean.
So nice for you
guys to reconnect again.
There's one that personally relates to me.
Just come through. i'm a girly
good on you and my and my big secret is that i had a crush on eli's partner when i was in uni
we became friends and tried to float that over text and in person for a while but clearly
to no avail grateful i never told them oh Oh! Oh, my God. Scandal!
There's a story for Sam when you get home.
That's amazing.
That's gorgeous.
I love it. Thank you for texting in, girly.
Eli wins.
Sorry he's into boyies.
Someone else texted through and said,
this is going to my grave.
I had an affair with my first husband's best friend
for four years before I called it off.
Then I had an affair with his other best friend who I am before I called it off. Then I had an affair with his
other best friend who I am now very
happily married to. So
three best friends. Three
best friends.
Bestest friends in the world.
I mean, surely he knew when you married
his other best friend that something
was up. You're like, wait a second.
He doesn't know about the missing link in the middle, but surely
he knows about the second best friend
when he attended
your wedding. Oh, I love it. That's
so good. Thanks for sharing your
deeper and darker secrets. There's
another message on the text machine for you.
Yeah, it's a little bit of feedback for my comedy.
They said, Eli loved your set
last night at Fletch Vaughan and Hayley Live.
However, when talking about the
Cabbage Batch Babies,
you missed the opportunity.
I can't say that on the radio.
That's too rude.
Can't say that.
Should have pre-read that.
Yeah, well, I was doing a joke about combine harvesters,
but they've just altered the word combine in the text.
If you know, you know.
Bree and Clint.
Time is waiting.
You only get one second of a song. No hesitating. You only got one second. One second. Brian Clint.
How's your music knowledge?
I don't want to be that person, but I play along in the car.
Do you?
How do you go?
Well, I win.
I'm alone in the car, but I beat everyone else.
You're like, I'm playing against myself and the winner is me.
And I'm curling up.
Well, this game gets quite competitive and we love to get people on to be on our team.
Danica or Danica?
You're on my team.
Danica.
Danica.
Okay, we need to get the pronunciation right if we're, you know,
going to be team members and take out Eli and Stacey.
Yeah, and I can get that pronunciation right away.
Good morning.
Good afternoon, Stacey. Sorry, I I can get that pronunciation right away. Good morning. Good afternoon, Stacey.
Sorry, I'm not used to doing radio in the afternoon.
He can get your name right, but just not the time of day.
Yeah, it's true.
It's okay.
Guys, Claudia runs the game,
and she's very serious about the rules,
so let's listen in.
So this is the one second song challenge.
Here's the spiel.
I've got it down.
So I'm starting a song from the beginning.
I just need you to buzz in with your name.
Tell me the name of the artist and the name of the song.
We're working in teams.
So Eli and Brie are going first.
And then I'll get Danica.
Danica.
Danica.
And Stacey.
Sorry, Danica.
I had the speech but not the name.
We're all messing up.
Good afternoon and good morning to everyone.
And good night.
And good night.
It's Sunday.
So Brie, Eli, you guys are doing the first round,
Buzzin' With Your Name.
The theme this week, these are all songs that sample other artists.
Okay.
Which doesn't really help you, but it's a bit of fun for me.
So here's the first one, Buzzin' With Your Name.
Brie.
Brie.
Oh, jeez.
That's Flo Ryder.
You spin me right round, baby.
You spin me... Oh, right round.
Yes.
Fun fact.
Kesha, before she was
Kesha, featured on this
song but never got paid. That's her there.
She never got paid.
Never got paid because she wasn't famous yet.
Her voice is so distinct though.
You wouldn't think
that was anyone but Kezia.
Yeah.
That's a great fun fact.
Danika, we're one point
on the board.
It's over to you and Stacey.
Buzz in with your names, guys,
if you can tell me who this is.
Oh, no.
It's one of those days.
Here you go.
Oh, Stacey.
Danika.
Stacey.
Britney Spears top six. Got it. Nice Oh, Stacey. Danika. Stacey. Britney Spears top six.
Got it.
Nice one, Stacey.
I feel like Danika had it as well.
Did you, Danika?
Yeah, I did.
She was all over it.
Right on her heels.
But Stacey too.
Quick, nice work.
That's one of those songs that I think we all would know within a second.
So iconic.
Just even the opening notes.
Yeah.
Like you just know instantly. Well, we're one apiece now. So iconic. Just even the opening notes, you just know instantly.
Well, we're one apiece now, so
back to Bree and Eli.
Eli's standing up. Very serious.
Okay, here you go.
Eli.
Drink to that, Rihanna.
Yes.
That was quick.
Very good.
Oh, nice work, Eli.
A real Levine sample on that one. Yeah, very good. Oh, nice work. Averill Levine sample on that one.
Yeah.
Very good.
Bringing the fun facts and everything.
All right, Danika, you need to get this one to keep us in it,
but no pressure.
Okay, Danika, Stacey, are we ready?
Here we go, guys.
Ready.
Good luck.
Come on, Stacey.
Stacey.
Jason Derulo, what do you say?
You're close enough.
We'll give it to you, Stace.
Beautiful, Stace.
God, he really gave it away, didn't he?
Jason Derulo, just singing his own name.
But the winners are Eli and Stacey,
which means we're going to hook you up with 50 KFC chicken dollars, Stace.
Thank you.
Nice work.
Congratulations.
She was better than me.
She did most of the work.
I didn't want to point it out.
She did pull the weight on the team.
Yeah.
But there's no iron team. There's no I in team.
But she did say, what did you say?
What did she say?
I think we need a place of trust right now
because we're about to test your relationship
and I'm not going to leave you hanging.
We'll test my relationship as well.
That's good.
I was thinking, I was like, yeah, I'm going to come in for just one day,
but I hope this triggers a breakup or something in my life. Let's put it all on the line look we don't want to do
that i've got full confidence uh there's a study going around at the moment and it was from a
psychologist in 1990 uh his name was john gotman and he ran this research with couples where he's
put them in this like amazing bed and breakfast
and he tested different theories out on them to see what made a happy relationship and
if they could stay happy.
Bed and breakfast is an interesting place to put people to the test.
I know, right?
I know.
It all depends on what type of, you know, is it continental?
Yeah.
Is it cornflakes?
Exactly. Is it eggs? That's where
all the happiness comes from at a bed and breakfast. There's some audio of a guy talking about
this one particular question that he reckons can predict with 94% accuracy whether a relationship
would remain happy. When one partner says, oh, that's a beautiful bird outside, does the other partner respond
with something like, wow, that is beautiful?
Or do they blow their partner off and ignore the bird?
It's a tiny moment, but that's what makes them important because there can be so many
of them.
They pile up.
Gottman famously termed these interactions bids.
We're asking for a small connection.
How's our partner going to respond?
We're going to put that to the test this afternoon.
We're going to call your partner, Sam, first. How are we going to be looking at the same bird?
Well, we're going to have to do the radio version, okay? All you have to say to him,
we'll do the radio version where you say Sam or babe or boobie
or whatever you call him. Boobie? I've called partner boobie
before. We're both men, so I call him Dickie.
I love that.
And just say, Dickie,
I've seen the most amazing
bird. Like, it was incredible.
And then tell him a little bit about it and just wait
for his response. Okay. Okay, you ready?
Yeah. Putting in the call
to Eli Mathewson's partner,
Sam, right now. He's a psychologist as well.
He might know about this. He's like, I know this. This is
the Gottman test hello hey babe it's eli how you going yeah not too bad i just got home oh cool i just wanted
to call you i just i've been for a walk i just wanted to take a break from work and i was out
for a walk and i saw like the most beautiful bird.
I think it was a Ketadu,
just like right by work
and it was the most amazing shade of green
and the white on the belly was like so bright
and I just thought,
what a beautiful, gorgeous bird.
Okay, what are you doing
I just wanted to share it with you
and see what you thought
they're probably my favourite birds
I do love a Kennedy
they do make the best sounds
and they fly
that's probably why I thought of you
wait you thought of me
because I like Kennedys
or because I remind you of a candidate?
Whichever is better for you.
Okay.
Bye, Sam.
Bye.
That's a pass.
Is that a pass?
He engaged with what you were saying.
He did.
Had some input.
That's a pass.
He was deeply confused. Very confused. I mean, had some input. That's a pass. He was deeply confused.
Very confused.
I mean, very confusing call.
Now we've got to call my partner.
What do you think Sophia's going to do?
She's probably going to be like, you're being real weird.
I'm doing stuff.
Leave me alone.
But let's put in the call now.
We get paid for this.
Hello?
Hi, babe, it's me.
Hi.
How are you?
I'm good, how are you?
Yeah, not bad.
I just wanted to give you a call because as I was driving to work today,
you would not believe I saw the most amazing bird in a tree.
I think it was a kea, like it was just beautiful.
The colours were just like really bright and I just thought you would appreciate that.
Oh, thank you.
Akea.
Yeah, I think it was Akea.
I mean, I'm not too quizzed up on New Zealand birds,
but it was pretty big.
Akea?
Yeah.
Oh, no, wait. I think I'm getting confused with Akea? Yeah. Oh, no, wait.
I think I'm getting confused with Akea Serato.
I saw Akea Serato on the way to work.
Oh.
Akea Serato?
Yeah.
They had such bright colours.
It was like a pearly white.
A pearly white.
Well, I just thought you'd, I mean, I just
know that you're into Kia Serato, so I just wanted to
let you know. Am I?
Yeah. Alright, babe.
Alright, love you. I'll talk to you later.
Love you. Bye.
Wow. I mean,
she entertained the conversation.
You know that, I mean, I didn't
want to tell you, but I don't think we have Kia
in the North Island. There was strictly a South Island bird.
You know what?
I knew that.
And I knew I'd made a very bad mistake.
But we do have Kia Serratos.
There's plenty of those.
So I think I saved it.
She did not suspect a thing.
Are we calling that a pass or a fail?
I think we...
Let's just get...
I mean, we're the judges, so we just give ourselves a pass. Yeah, we give that a pass or a fail? I think we, let's just get, I mean, we're the judges,
so we just give ourselves a pass.
Yeah, we give ourselves a pass.
There's a news story today about a referendum that's on the cards.
David Seymour ran this election,
and one of the things he ran on was that if he was in government,
there would be a referendum on the treaty.
Now, not to get too political, but I don't think we need to do that.
And a lot of people agreed that we don't want that.
Yeah, there was a poll on News Hub and about 60% of the country think,
no, we don't need to do that.
We could.
So I thought, maybe let's take this time.
What referendums do we actually want to see?
We've had the weed referendum.
We've had the flag referendum.
What do we want to see next?
Yeah, it's interesting.
I do love a referendum,
even though they cost the country a shit ton of money.
What do we spend, like $22 million
to find out we don't need a flag?
And then the flag wasn't even changed.
Yeah.
You know what we do need to change, though?
Yes.
Here's the referendum that I think we really need.
The national anthem.
I've written one.
Have you written one?
The national anthem?
As in, have I written a new national anthem?
No, what's your referendum?
Well, I just think let's have a cooler song.
This is factually, like obviously some people believe in God,
some people don't, full respect to them.
But New Zealand is one of the least religious countries in the world.
Yeah.
And we have God in the title of our anthem.
I'm like, does that really sum up the country?
Yeah, people aren't super passionate about the anthem in this country.
It's slow.
It kind of chugs along.
I remember being in the stadium when the Philippines anthem came on
at the FIFA Women's World Cup, and that's a bop.
Yeah, absolute.
It's a full-blown tune.
I think the referendum should be,
should Slice of Heaven be the new national anthem,
and we vote on it, yes or no?
That's really good.
You know?
Like, I feel like it would just hit different. Yeah, it's gorgeous.
Imagine at the Olympics,
you know, the Kiwis up there, they've won gold
and just a
bit of this comes on.
Patriotic.
You know when the All Blacks, when the anthem plays
and some of them kind of know the words
and they all look kind of sad?
That wouldn't happen with us.
No.
It'd all be there.
It'd be so good.
I'd love it.
What else should we have a referendum about?
Here's a referendum.
One simple question, yes or no.
Should oat milk just become milk?
Oat milk is so popular.
Wait, are you saying oat milk is now normal milk?
I think oat milk should be the normal milk.
You know when people say cow's milk is, oh, I'll have normal milk?
Yes.
I think no one's drinking cow's milk anymore.
Certainly not me.
Upsets my tummy.
Change it to oat milk.
I'm like, it's the most popular one.
It tastes the most delicious.
Let's just make oat milk milk.
So you're saying oat milk the standard.
And if you want cow's milk, it's an extra 50 cents.
Yes.
You know?
That is what I believe in my heart. Change it over.
And I think it's time we had a referendum.
I thought we could have a referendum on
should Eli have spent all his coins on Treasure Island
on a whole chocolate cake, yes or no?
The cake tasted delicious.
You know what?
I think I made the right call.
Let's vote on it.
Claude, did you have any referendums you want to pitch?
I feel like mine's going to be a bit divisive.
Okay.
I think Prius drivers need a dedicated lane.
Firstly.
Wow.
So if you're in an Uber, you get there faster.
Yeah.
If you're in a car, they don't get in your way.
Do you have a Prius?
No, I don't.
Okay.
But I find I would buy one for that.
Historically, I feel like Priuses are the slowest drivers
and they make me a little bit grumpy.
Back in 2012, I bought a mannequin
so I could put it in the front seat of my car
so I could drive in the T2 lane.
No joke.
Used to save me so long on commutes.
What about you, Producer Ella?
You got anything you want to do a referendum on?
Should we all go vegan, yes or no?
No.
Oh, my God.
What?
That's the referendum.
You put me on the spot.
I don't know.
I told you to prep something.
Ella's like, got to go with the solid vegan question.
Try the truth.
Eli, any more?
This is my final one.
Should it be illegal to watch someone parallel parking?
The reason being, if I'm doing a parallel park,
stop watching me.
Don't look at me.
Isn't it?
I can do it if no one's looking,
but as soon as I see a tradie turning around having a look,
I'm like, well, now it's falling apart. You forget every thing you've learned under the sun. I can do it if no one's looking, but as soon as I see a tradie turning around having a look,
I'm like, well, now it's falling apart.
You forget every thing you've learned under the sun.
My last one, things we should have a referendum about.
Do six sliders make up one whole burger?
Yes or no?
Six mini burgers?
Does it make up one whole burger?
Why are you looking at me like it's not six?
Did you eat six?
Four.
Yeah, I think I was going to say three.
Three?
Three sliders of the burger, yeah.
Did you recently eat six sliders?
And are you trying to justify your behavior?
It was not based.
It was a hypothetical.
It's time for a birthday banger.
Unfortunately, no Friday-oke this week,
but I promise Eli, the next time you are here on a Friday,
you will be forced to do a Friday-oke.
I'm ready.
What song would you do?
So my go-to karaoke song, if I was picking any,
is Robbie Williams' Angel.
I mean, it is a classic. It goes off.
It really does. It's powerful, it's emotional, you can get really into it. I'll start practicing
now. So we're going to do your birthday bangers right now. The number one song
is on your 16th birthdays. Let's kick it off with Casey.
G'day, Casey. Hey, Casey. Hey, guys. How are we? Not bad, mate. What are you
up to for the long weekend? Not a lot, not a lot. Just going to see what the weather
does. I'm not going to be stuck in traffic. Are you stuck in traffic right now? No, no.
Okay, good. Okay, well, let's do your birthday, Banger. What's your date of birth? 28th of
October, 1989. All right, that means, Casey, you were 16 in 2005, and back on your 16th birthday, this was at the top. If you're ready to call me, call you back.
Oh, Casey.
This is good.
I recently saw the Sugar Babes, Casey, at Mardi Gras in Sydney
and they had to sit on chairs because they were too drunk.
The Sugar Babes have had so many lineups.
Did you know who, like?
I didn't know what was going on. Did you know who, like?
No, I didn't know what was going on.
And that was allegedly, I think they were too drunk.
But it was like on this weird rickety stage and it just wasn't it.
I mean, they're also probably in their 40s, right?
They're probably like, oh. They needed a rest.
What do you think, Casey?
You like the Sugar Babes?
Oh, absolutely.
It's a banger for the birthday.
It's a solid one to kick us off.
That's for sure, Casey. Okay, we'll wait there. Let's a banger for the birthday. It's a solid one to kick us off. That's for sure, Casey.
Okay, we'll wait there.
Let's go to Karen.
Hi.
G'day, Karen.
How's your week been?
Not too bad, thanks.
What's been the highs and the lows, Karen?
Oh, the high is definitely the fact that it's a long weekend.
I mean, can't go wrong.
And the sun is shining.
And I don't think there's been any lows yet.
We like that, Kieran. It's good you took my
elimination from Celebrity Treasure Island really well, Kieran.
Just say that was your low,
Kieran, quick. Yeah, sorry.
That was absolutely my low. I bawled my
eyes out the whole time.
Don't overdo it. You didn't cry.
We were right there with you, Kieran.
What was your date of birth, mate?
The 3rd of December, 1990.
All right, that means you were 16 in 2006.
And on the 3rd of December, 2006, this had a number one hit.
I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair.
I'm 77 and 69.
Oh, it's a bit of Sandy Tom.
I wish I was a punk rocker, Kieran.
How good.
That was such a sing-along banger.
Wasn't it?
One Hit Wonder?
Yeah, I don't know who said that.
Yeah.
What is Sandy Tom up to these days?
Oh, Sandy Tom, she went into the shoe business
and made those Tom shoes, didn't she?
Yeah, I think so.
Oh, right.
That's just a guess, Kieran.
I think you've got a great birthday banger, though.
Thank you. Very solid. Stick
there. We'll see if you're going to win.
Michelle, you've been waiting
a while to get on Birthday Banger, Michelle.
I have. Third time,
third attempt. Well, Michelle, can I
just say, this was the high of
my week, getting you on finally for
Birthday Banger. Oh, excellent.
Well, it's the high of my week too.
Perfect.
We love persistence on this show.
And Michelle, I reckon hopefully you're going to have a good one.
What is your birthday?
6th of April, 1975.
All right, Michelle, that means you were 16 in 1991.
And let me take you back to your 16th birthday with this one.
Long way.
Oh, fun. Oh, pardon me.
Oh, it's not too bad.
It's not too bad.
Been a London beat.
I've been thinking about you.
What do you think, Michelle?
Oh, I think it's not too bad.
I think everyone knows the words to that.
It's a guilty pleasure of mine, that song.
It just takes me to a place, you know.
Oh, it takes me back to a few, you know,
maybe a couple of big boyfriends.
Yeah, really?
It kind of brings those memories up.
Makes me want to take my top off.
Yeah, me too.
Makes me want to take my pants off.
Okay, should we all just take our clothes off and play London Beat?
It's about that time, isn't it?
Time of the week.
It is that time of the week, pants off Friday.
The weather's looking good.
All right, hang there, Michelle.
We do have to vote.
Now, Eli, this is where you and I get to vote.
If we are unanimous, we play the song.
If we can't agree, the vote will go to producer Claude.
Okay.
What are you thinking?
I have to reveal something big.
Oh, no.
Earlier today, I made a playlist of songs that I want to be in my Spotify rap
because I'm really worried that my number one song for the year
is going to be Push the Button by the Sugar Mates
because I've been listening to it all the time this year.
Really?
I love it.
It's like you're at the top.
It's at the top.
Okay.
It's been on my on repeat playlist on Spotify the whole year.
That is so random.
I know.
So obviously you're voting for?
I'm going for the Sugar Mates, Push the Button. I have. So obviously you're voting for... I'm going for the sugar babes.
Push the button.
I have to give it to the girls.
Oh, Michelle, she was so passionate.
She's been waiting.
I know.
I'm not making my vote based on that.
I'm going to go with you.
Push the button.
Sugar babes.
But just know, Michelle, it was close.
It was very close.
Casey, you've taken our birthday banger this afternoon.
Yes, awesome. Thank you. What a great birthday present. Have a great long weekend. Casey, you've taken our birthday banger this afternoon. Yes, awesome.
Thank you.
What a great birthday present.
Have a great long weekend.
Wait, wait, wait a second.
It's your birthday today.
Oh, my gosh.
Happy birthday, Casey.
What the heck?
Oh, my God.
And I'd like to say, long-time listener, first-time caller.
Wait, what did you say, Casey?
Long-time listener, first-time caller.
First-time caller. First-time caller.
First-time caller.
First-time caller on your birthday.
Casey, you're winning birthday banger.
What a day it is for you, my friend.
Cool.
I'm definitely going to be having my fun banger, that's for sure.
Amazing.
Have you had a good day so far?
I have.
I've been very good.
Oh, good.
Thank you.
Well, a big happy birthday from us.
Birthday, Casey.
Casey.
Thank you.
Cheers.
Have a great long weekend.
This one's for Casey.
Her birthday's today.
Push the button.
Sugar Babes on ZM.
Bree and Clint.
We're about to relaunch one of our segments that has gone away for a bit because it got
too annoying.
Oh, that's good.
Well, I always like to be present for the most annoying things and be a part of everything that annoys people. Great. that's good. Well, I always like to be present for the most annoying things and be
a part of everything that annoys people.
Great. That's good because
the intro for
this game, we do sing
and look full transparency
to the audience. We have done one
practice, so this
could go horribly wrong.
It's time to play a game of
Who Do You Think You Are?
I said, who do you think they are?
Do you think they are?
I said, who do you think they are?
Guys.
Oh, my gosh.
Could have been worse.
Did we just become a new girl band?
I think so.
I went full falsetto on that.
I went full testy blowout on that.
I was like spy skills territory.
It was good.
It was pretty good.
If you've never heard this game before, it's the concept of, you know, there's a lot of
actors, musicians out there, but everyone knows them or thinks of them in a different
way. And the aim of the game is we say a celebrity name and we all try and say, who do we think
we know them from?
Let's just play because it's quite confusing to understand.
I've written down some celebrities, so I'm going to say the celebrity and then we'll
go three, two, one, and you have to yell out who do you think they are.
Okay.
Okay.
Ready.
Let's kick it off with an easy one.
Robert Pattinson.
Okay.
Oh, okay.
Three, two, one.
Twilight.
Oh, my God.
Let's stop the game.
We've won.
We're done.
That was gorgeous.

Now, I'm going to do a musician.
So it's a little bit different, But you have to say the song.

Oh, my God.

Yeah, that is pretty good actually. Probably second.
Way to be different.
So quick.

You should redo that video.
Thank you, I will.
I see it.

Yeah!
I just couldn't remember the name of that other movie she did.
Divergent.
I was tossing between the two of us.
Did I say her name right?
Isn't her name Shailene?
I think that's why I was like, am I thinking of the right person?
Shit.
I think Cheyenne's the boy's name.
Cheyenne.
I did not notice.
Wait, is Cheyenne the Jason Derulo song?
Cheyenne.
You think of Jolene.
Yeah.
Dolly Parton.
It was definitely a song.
It doesn't sound like a very good Jason Derulo song.
It was horrendous.
Okay.
Next up on the list, been in the news a lot lately.
Who do you think they are?
Will Smith.
Three, two, one.
I Am Black.
Whoa.
You picked the worst movie.
Why, why, why?
What is that?
That's a bit of fun.
He's a cowboy and there's some big robots.
It was a great song.
You know one of the most expensive movies ever to make?
And it bombed out.
And it bombed hard.
Like real hard.
Okay, let's finish on another musician.
Last one.
Can we do it?
I feel like we can.
Come on.
Go out on a win.
Come on, guys.

Feel like a woman. Let's go, girls. Oh, Eli was out of sync with, one. Let's go girls. Feel like a woman.
Let's go girls.
Oh, Eli was out of sync with that.
That don't impress a meme.
I'm an absolute banger as well.
It's hard to pick when she's got such a big catalogue.
Doesn't she have a house in New Zealand as well?
Does she?
She used to in Wanaka.
Yeah.
I drove past it once.
And hence why I now have a restraining order.
All right, time to sing us out.
Let's go.
I said, who do you think they are?
Do you think they are?
I said, who do you think they are?
Brie and Clint.
On ZM with Brie and Clint, Eli Matheson in the building.
Just for the day.
Good to be here.
Great to have you.
Just for the day, Eli.
And then get out of here.
You're out.
We're taking that temporary swipe card off you.
That car park, that's not yours.
Actually, can I have that swipe card because I lost mine?
Yeah, sure.
Yeah, cool.
Right now we're asking you the question,
who did you lend money to and did it go bad or did you get it back?
Maybe you want to call someone out on the radio right now
and say, I want my 20 bucks back.
Yeah, give us your full Karen voice.
I'll give you 20 effing whacks.
Pretty good impression, Brie.
Yeah.
You know.
Let's talk to Anonymous. G'day, Anonymous. Hello, Anonymous.
Hello. Anonymous, who'd you lend money to?
Stupidly, I lent money to my boss about three years
ago. Years ago, I knew him
and he was quite successful at what he did and he kind of fell on hard times
and I kind of felt a bit sorry for him.
So I thought, oh, well, listen, he would borrow money for cigarettes off another guy.
So, you know, quite down on his luck.
So I went home to my partner and I said, hey, listen, I'm going to lend the boss, you know, I'm going to lend him $500.
Okay.
And I said, no, give him $1,000.
And, you know, down on his luck, we talked about it.
So I lent him $1,000. And the thing is, you know, oh, I'm going to pay you back. I'm going to pay you back. Yeah, no, give him $1,000. And, you know, down on his luck, we talked about it. So I lent him $1,000.
And the thing is, you know, oh, I'm going to pay you back.
I'm going to pay you back.
Yeah, cool, cool.
Here's my bank card.
You know, here's my bank details.
I'll pay you back.
I'll pay you back.
And then occasionally you'd have a bit of extra money.
Oh, I'm going to definitely pay you back.
And it just went on and on and on.
So three years down the track, still no sign of it.
Oh, I thought you were going to say, Anonymous, three years down the track, he
messages me, he's finally paid me back, but
no luck. Yeah, no, no. And the funny thing
is, I was with him today
and the guys that I'm working
with know about the situation.
They were dropping really
unsubtle hints to the guy
about the thousand dollars
he owes me. This is a delicious sandwich.
It was quite funny today.
Oh, anonymous.
And the guy's just oblivious.
But you just got to take it with a pinch of salt.
Like, the thing is, I've been really lucky,
and I had the money to lend him.
But, you know, I feel like...
Nah, you did a nice thing, anonymous,
and he's taken advantage of you.
You know what you should do?
Just take an annual day and say,
now you don't owe me. Now, how many annual days do you reckon? Probably a week. Yeah, take the whole week.
Take the whole week, yeah, and you'll be paid back.
Yeah, we'll have to work something out, yeah, for sure.
Well, good luck. We'll talk to you in the next three years to see if he's paid it back.
A few texts that are coming through, quite dark.
Someone said, I lent my boyfriend over $20,000,
didn't get a cent back, worst decision ever.
Oh, what about this?
Yeah, go for it.
I lent my mate $100, not that much.
$100?
He then passed away.
Oh, no.
Wasn't about to ask the partner for some inheritance.
So that was a poor investment.
No, you can't get it back.
You can't be like, hey, Stacy.
I know that you're planning the funeral.
I know you're really upset.
But Greg, I actually gave him $100.
$100.
She's doing the eulogy
Hey, I know it's a bad time to ask
You're looking at the casket
Hey God, I miss the mate
Do you know what else I miss?
My $100
God, I really wish that $100 would turn up
Let's talk to Sarah
Hi Sarah
Hi Sarah
Tell us Sarah, who did you lend money to?
I lent money to my mother so she could sort her legal fees out with her divorce.
Oh, that was really nice of you, Sarah.
And did your mum pay it back?
Definitely, yeah, within two years.
Oh, God, I thought you were going to say definitely not.
Oh, God, you had my heart going then.
Oh, so that's all good.
How much money did you lend or you don't want to say?
$15,000.
Oh, jeez, yes.
Oh, that's quite a bit.
That's a good whack of money.
It's convenient to get a divorce.
Did you get anything in the divorce for lending your mum money?
No.
Oh.
I have a good relationship with my mum.
That's all I need.
Oh, Sarah, stop it.
Oh, wow.
That's adorable, and I agree.
You sure you didn't get, like, some trauma out of them being divorced?
You know, in the divorce?
It wasn't my dad.
It was my stepdad.
Oh, gotcha.
Yeah.
Oh, see you later.
Moved out of the house, so all good.
Oh, nice, Sarah.
Well, you did the right thing, and you got to look after your mums, you know? Yeah, definitely. Thanks for calling. Have a good long weekend, nice, Sarah. Well, you did the right thing and you got to look after your mums, you know?
Yeah, definitely.
Thanks for calling.
Have a good long weekend, Sarah.
Bye.
I would lend my mum money.
Would you?
Do you trust your mum to lend her money?
Yeah, and she's lent me money.
I'd lend her money back.
I was going to say, I forgot how she lent you money.
Yeah.
You have to lend her money now.
I know.
Actually, I owe her money.
So if I was lending her money, that would actually just be me giving back
the money that I owe to her. She's like,
can I lend some, can I borrow some money?
And you're like, sure. Sure. It's yours.
It's actually already for you.
Exactly. And I was just going to spend it on
myself.
Prada, Casso,
D-Block, Europe Ray, Hilary Barry
and your mum was also on that
song. All on that track. All on that track right
here at ZM with Brinkland. Your mum
is sounding amazing on there. She is
killing it, babe. Yeah. No one knew.
No one knew she had this girl. Have you ever
heard the version my mum
did of Ariana Grande?
Oh, I mean, I want nothing
more than to hear that. Oh, my
lanta. Claude, what do
you think you could maybe rustle that up?
Let me see.
You do that while we...
I swear I've looked for it before,
and somehow it's been scrubbed from the system.
You have a look.
Because to not be a professional singer
and then to go for an Ariana Grande song,
that's a huge leap.
Oh, she didn't go for anything.
It was sprung upon her,
and she did a live version on air
Here in the studio
I found a thing called Mama Di Ariana Grande
Should we play it now?
I want to gift it to Eli's ears
Let's see what this is
Stop watching, my neck is flossing
Make big deposits, my gloss is popping
You like my hair?
Gee thanks, Just bought it.
I say I like it.
I want it.
I got it.
I want it.
I got it.
I want it.
I got it.
She's still going.
Actually, I feel like it requires some skill to be that off the beat.
Mate.
You want it?
I got it.
You like my hair?
Gee, thanks. Just bought it. I got it. I got it. You like my hair? Gee, thanks.
Just bought it.
Ariana needs to hear that.
Or as my mum likes to call her, Arianda Grundy.
Oh, mate.
It's a gift to the world that keeps on giving,
like you being on the show today.
What a pleasure, Eli Mathewson.
Thank you so much for having me.
Am I saying your name right?
I probably should have checked at the start of the show.
No, just wing it.
Just wing it?
You know what?
It doesn't matter.
It's irrelevant.
My name is however
you want to say it.
I bet you said that
to a few people.
Yeah.
Back in the day.
Intimate situations.
Yeah, moments.
Whatever you want to call me, baby.
Call me what you want.
Cool.
And no,
you never say that to someone
or they'll call you a slur.
They really will.
Yeah.
And then we'll all be cancelled.
Yeah, we will.
Well, it's been an absolute pleasure.
Hopefully, I think we may have you on the show in the future sometime.
You've passed the test.
Really?
Yeah, Claude, producer Claude, what do you give him out of 10?
Oh, 10 out of 10.
10 out of 10?
10 out of 10.
That's awkward.
I gave you an 11.
Oh, I gave you a 12.
I was just being humble.
Oh, my gosh.
Please, don't stop.
And now carry your large head out of the studio
and have a great long weekend.
It's so heavy.
It's so heavy.
We'll see you next time.
Have a great long weekend, everyone.
Be safe on the roads.
Love you.
Bye.
Bye.
