The ZM Podcast Network. ZM Bree and Clint live from Dunedin. That's Sophie Alice Baxter, Murder on the Dance Floor. I saw her and Natasha Bedingfield, who were both 2000s icons, and now are both back in the charts. How fun for them, because that means they can tour together, they can live through this same experience.

Yeah, and they're in this video together, and they're talking about how weird it is. They both look great, they should tour, you're right. The best bit is they're back at the top of the charts and they haven't had to record any new music. Nah, it's just their old stuff that is still, it's still the test of time. It's popping off. They'd feel some

pressure though to put out new music, wouldn't you? Yeah, probably. To recreate the hype to be like. Or you just ride on the coattails of your previous work. Or she does a cover of Unwritten. Great idea. And Natasha Bedingfield does a cover of Murder on the Dance Floor.

Natasha Bedingfield should do a new song called Written. Yeah. Rewritten. Yeah. Rewritten. Or a rewritten. We got our technicals sorted, by the way. Thanks to everyone who heard my check one twos on the radio

and complimented my rap skills. Check one two, check, check, check. It's because we're in Dunedin. We're on the road. We're down here for O-Week. And before we did the show today, we went on some classic flat tours of some Scarfy flats. Yeah.

We were around Castle Street and the streets that just come off it, Castle Street being the famous student street. We were to, we were around Castle Street and the streets that just come off it. Castle Street being the famous student street. We were on Howe Street and then we also went to a notorious flat called Big Red as well. The Big Red and a shout out to the other one, it was called Howloween because it's on Howe Street.

Start with Howloween, seven girls living in this flat and I'm always interested in bathroom to people ratios. Two bathrooms. Two bathrooms. Two bathrooms for seven girls. All in all, pretty tidy flat. I would. As far as students go, I would call it immaculate, that flat.

In fairness, they haven't been there for long because we are here for O-Week. Yeah. But... Yeah, they're in their second week. You know what I mean? So they haven't had time to... They apologised for one pan that had some burnt pancakes in it. Ah, pretty good.

And they'd thrown that pan outside, okay? Yeah. They'd done... Because they set the fire alarm off. They've done what was required. Girls, big tick. Like, if that was... And then we don't need to discuss what we saw at Big Red.

Let's just say that we were taken outside to the stadium area where they've built a very cool grandstand out of secondhand couches that they've found on the side of the road. Or as they say, rescued from burning. Yes. And we're like, oh, this is great. And they said, yeah, come around the corner. This is the rubbish area. And it's literally. And it's an entire section of their backyard.

It's just covered in glass and rubbish. Just where they put the rubbish. Honestly, I need to now get a tetanus shot after visiting that flat. One of the students was walking around in bare feet, and when I say there was a lot of broken glass,

it was like completely covered in broken glass. It was like sand on a beach, except the sand is broken glass, and he was walking around with bare feet. And I said to him, bro, you've got no shoes on. He goes, yeah, I'm trying to call us up because I reckon if my feet can survive here, they can survive anywhere. That's not a good idea.

See, where is the good influence? But all in all, nice young lads. Yeah, good boys. Good boys. I would invest in one of young lads. Yeah, good boys. Good boys. I would invest in one of those automatic fly sprayers though. Because there was a lot of flies in that flat. A lot. It's good times.

Brianne Clint next. Brie's got a song that she reckons everybody knows, but I've never heard this song in my life. I reckon this was a global hit. I have no idea why you, Mr. Radio, worked in radio for a long time and has never heard this song. I reckon there's a ton of people. Actually, Claude, put our faders up.

We'll play a little snippet of it now. And you text us if you've just, I've heard it, I know it, or never heard that in my life. We're live from Dunedin today. I need to discuss something that went down in the studio yesterday where I mentioned a throwback song, a song that I believe was a global hit. And no, it hasn't crossed my mind in the last 15 years, but for some reason I've stumbled across it again. I was like, oh, good memories. Massive hit song.

And I mentioned it to you and you said, what? When you mentioned it, I could tell that you were coming at it with the vibes of you've got the aux cord, you're in the car, you're like, oh, I'm going to blow these people's faces off with the song that they love but they've forgotten. Great throwback. Yeah, yeah. Like great forgotten throwback.

And I mentioned the name of it and who sung it and you went, doesn't ring any bells. I said, sorry? And then I said to you, when you hear it, you'll know it. When you hear it, you'll know it. And I played you this. Can't move, can't breathe, it's getting dark. The beast has come to steal your heart, so you better practice your scream.

Oh, you may not love your dream. Banger. What a banger. Throwback. Do I like it? Yeah. Have I heard it before? Not once in my entire life. Are you saying it doesn't tweak any kind of memory in your brain?

You do not know what that song is. You've never heard it. I've spent 18 years working in pop music radio, and I was a music fan and radio fan for my whole life before that. That song has completely passed me by. You've missed the mark on this one. There's not a hit song that I don't think I've heard

in the last 20 years. That's a hit song. I've never heard it. The Reckoning is the name of the song by Boomcat. The lead singer on that song, her name's Taryn Menning. She was in the Crossroads film with Britney Spears and she was also

in Orange is the New Black. Okay. She's the one singing on the song. It was a hit. It was a global hit. I'm telling you. We've asked people to text through on the text machine. Yeah. 9696. it's very 50-50 I want to say it's directly

down the middle, 50-50 Do you think it was a hit in Australia and not New Zealand? I'm pretty sure it was a global hit, maybe I should have done the research on that Wait, let me just have a look The Reckoning, text us on 9696 if you're just joining us.

What year did that song come out? So it came out in 2003. Okay. 2003, so early 2000s. I thought everyone knew that song. It's very rare that you and I don't connect on a song. I will concede that in 2003, I was still living in Ruddrua

and I was heavily invested in my Metallica and Linkin Park era at that stage. Right. But I mean, you know. I mean, it was kind of rocky. I still had an ear for a hit. Yeah, absolutely. It's a tune though.

It's an absolute tune. I reckon we should put it back on the ZM playlist. Well, if we get enough texts, maybe it can get into Friday Jams this Friday. Someone said, crap song, where's Tradie versus Lady? Someone else said, Brie, I love that song. I'm from Australia. That's interesting. Yeah.

A lot of people saying that they've heard it, though, and they knew who sung it and what it was called. Well, there you go. There's one for you, Throwback Playlist. It's good to learn about new music, even if it came out in 2003. It's new to you. Bree and Clint from iHeartRadio. This is the latest live from LA with D. McCarthy.

Wild Spice Girls news today. Geri, formerly Halliwell, now Geri Horner. She's married to the very rich F1 boss. Should have stuck to Halliwell. Well, that may be true. She's unfollowed some of the Spice Girls, Dean. She has. She's got a little Instagram out in between billions of dollars worth of checks

because they are cashed out, by the way. Here's what's happened. She has unfollowed the Beckhams. Now, David and Victoria. Now, she has not unfollowed Baby. There's no unfollowing a baby. And she's not unfollowed Mel C. She'd already unfollowed Mel B because they all had that big fallout, you know, a while back.

But we're kind of like, what is going on? So basically, the moral of the story is she's really going through it because her husband, the boss of Formula One, is getting like all these controversies coming out about him messaging other women that are a part of the F1, all stuff. You know, like one of those big scandals that just continues to snowball. And for some reason, in the middle of this, she's unfollowed the Beckhams. What does that mean? Why? We don't really know. It is scandalous because she is Beckham, the Sphams. What does that mean? Why? We don't really know. It is scandalous because

she is back in the Spice Girls. Victoria's the one who's not in the Spice Girls. It's quite a deliberate thing to unfollow Victoria and David Beckham. I always wonder who checks these things. Like who's going through every day and seeing if they still follow each other. But the scandal around Christian

Horner, if you watch Drive to Survive, he's the boss of the Red Bull team and they are the dominant team. That's Max Verstappen's team. Like, they should, they're kind of unbeatable, except now that he looks like he's going to lose his job and yes, she's getting dragged through it with him, because it's her husband.

Do you reckon he and her have a prenup? A prenup? Yeah. Oh. Good question. Because, Dean, she is a Spice Girl, but he's the rich one, right? Yeah, that's right. So he'd be worth, I think I heard he was like a billionaire, right? She's worth like $100 million from when they were, you know, huge.

I think, oh, that's a good question. What I do, I'd like to bring up a little something from the past. So she is the one that left the group first. That's right, Dean, and people don't forget. Thank you. Thank you. People don't forget, so I don't know. Yeah, she unfollowed the scandal that Dean was alluding to

when Geri, Ginger Spice, unfollowed Mel, Scary Spice, because remember Mel put out that book, and one of her big revelations in the book was that her and Geri Halliwell slept together while the Spice Girls were having. And Geri was like, no, we didn't. That literally didn't happen. Just put this in your book. Hey, Dean, Clint and I were talking about this off air.

Do you reckon it actually happened? Yes, and I'll tell you why. Because one night at the Soho house, Mel B alluded to, like, making out with Lindsay Lohan. Really? I feel like she, like, does play in the different pools. Yep. No, that doesn't prove anything.

That doesn't prove anything. No. Because it's Mel B who made the accusation and then Gerry denied it. All that proves is that Mel B has a thing for gingers. That's all that proves. That's your hard facts. I reckon it wasn't Mel B's place to tell that story.

No, no. But do I think it's true? Yeah, I probably do think it's true. Why would she just make that up out of the blue? I just don't see it happening. Spicy. There you go. That's the latest live out of Los Angeles

with our Hollywood correspondent, Dean McCarthy. There's a BBC weather presenter that's made a bit of a boo-boo live on air when she was asked what she was getting up to for the weekend. Okay. And she's ruined a surprise. Oh, no. A family surprise. Yeah. Shall we listen to Okay. And she's ruined a surprise. Oh, no. A family surprise.

Yeah. Shall we listen to the audio? Here's what went down. So, what have you got up at the weekend? Anything exciting? Oh, my niece's surprise birthday party. Oh, that's lovely. Yeah, so that'll be nice.

But not a surprise if she's watching this. Oh, goodness me. I've spoiled it. Shh. Okay, good. Bye-bye. Bye. They were watching. Yeah. And it was a surprise no more

Cute that that's the conversations they have on the news, on the BBC What are you up to for the weekend? I've watched News Hub and I've watched One News Not once have I heard Simon Dallow say to any of the sports journos the weather people I want to hear Simon ask how they are more often

Like how are you going? I want to hear Simon ask how they are more often. Like, how are you going? I want to hear Mike McRobert say, excellent forecast, Mr. Peru. By the way, what are you doing this weekend? Is it date night this weekend for you? What are you up to, Mike? It got me thinking about when surprises have been ruined and producer Claudia jumped in and said, I've got a story about this. What's happened, Claudia? Have you ruined a surprise for someone and said, I've got a story about this.

What's happened, Claude? Have you ruined a surprise for someone? Yeah, I didn't mean to. It was a few years ago now. It was my Nana's birthday and she knew we were taking her out for like lunch or dinner or whatever it was. She knew that much, but we were just in the car on the way there. And I didn't realise what I'd said until everyone was like, and looked at me.

But I had been like just sitting in the back seat making conversation and I was like, oh, I've never been to the Sky Tower before. I'm so excited. And everyone was like, well, now you've just ruined it. Nana's in the front seat like, oh, no, that's really nice. I'm still very excited. So it was the surprise of the Sky Tower.

Yeah, so we were going to... And were you on your way to the Sky Tower? We were on the way there, like literally 20 minutes away. I couldn't have waited. Claudia! Don't blame Claudia for that. Nana's about to find out anyway. That could have been Nana's last birthday. Claudia, you ruined it. At least I didn't do what one of my friends did. They threw a surprise party

for me and forgot to invite me. Really? Yeah. Did they forget to invite you? Or was that just what they told you? No, they actually forgot because there was a casual hey, come to my house to study. And I was like, great, yeah, let me know when and where and what. They never did.

And then I got a call that afternoon being like, are you still coming over? And I was like, I didn't really know I was supposed to. And then they were like, ah. And everyone in the background was like, surprise. And did you rush over there? Yeah, I did. I rushed over.

I kind of ruined a surprise birthday that I organised a few years ago. So my partner, it was her 30th birthday and I thought, oh, okay, I need to do something here. So I've put in all of this effort and I hired these people to come set up like this amazing birthday picnic set up in our front yard. And, you know, and I invited all of her family, all of her friends. Like it was months in the making, a lot of planning. But I needed to get her out of the house in the morning

so these party people could come over and lay some blankets and whatever. And so I booked her in for a massage and then I went back to the house and was helping set up and then I went to pick her up. And I nearly ruined the surprise because I was so nervous about stuffing up the whole thing that I said to her, I was like, oh, I'll blindfold you because we're going to go somewhere else for your birthday.

Yeah. And because I was so nervous, I ended up just kind of rear-ending someone in traffic. Oh, with her in a blindfold? With her in the blindfold. Like, I bumped them. It wasn't bad. And then I've had to get out of the car,

and this person gets out of the car, and they're like, is that person blindfolded? Are you kidnapping? Is that a kidnapping? And so she ended up taking the blindfold off, and I was like, oh, we're just going home. So it kind of ruined the surprise a little bit. Let's take some calls from people this afternoon because it's very easy to do, especially when it's a high pressure surprise.

You forget. What surprise did you ruin? Whose surprise did you ruin? Did someone let you know the gender of the baby and they were like, do not let. See, I wouldn't be trusted with that. Like, you're having to scan, and he wants to know, but she doesn't want to know, so they tell him, and then he gets drunk, and he actually says her.

I can't wait till she arrives. It's so easy to just, you know, accidentally say it when you know something. Yeah. So. Oh, $800 at M. Or you can text it to 9696. We'd love to know who ruined the surprise this afternoon.

Bree and Clint. We're live from Dunedin. Bree and Clint. Now, we're talking about this BBC weather presenter who accidentally spoiled her niece's surprise party live on air when she was asked what she was up to for the weekend and she said, go into my niece's surprise birthday party. So, what have you got to for the weekend, and she said, going to my niece's surprise birthday party.

So, what have you got up at the weekend? Anything exciting? Oh, my niece's surprise birthday party. Oh, that's lovely. Yeah, so that'll be nice and fun. But not a surprise if she's watching this. Oh, goodness me. I've spoiled it.

I love how she stayed in BBC mode, even when she realised she had balls it up royally. Oh goodness me, oh no. Oh no, heaven forbid, what have I done? So I've asked you, what did you ruin? Someone texted and said, my sister rang me a week out from my 30th birthday party to tell me that she couldn't make it to my surprise party. Oh no.

Do you reckon that was on purpose? Or it says sister-in-law, so no, I don't think it was on purpose. No, just an accident. Someone else said, I ruined my own birthday surprise. A somewhat dodgy boyfriend asked me to go to his place and pick up mail before dinner. He lived on the other side of the city. I was suspicious and thought he was lying, and I refused to go. He had to ruin the surprise by telling me it was, in fact, my own birthday surprise.

And you've ruined it now? Suffice to say, I had to fake it when I arrived, and none of them know till this day. Oh, really? You're like, I'll go. Okay, I'll go. Oh, wow. Okay, ready?

Let's pretend you know about the surprise party, and you've walked in. Ready? So I have to pretend that I don't know. Yeah. Okay, ready? Yeah. And you walk in. Ready? So I have to pretend that I don't know. Yeah. Okay, ready? Yeah. Surprise!

Oh, my God! No, it's not believable at all. Yeah, not ideal. Let's go to Jamie on 0800 dials at M. Hi, Jamie. Hi, Jamie. Hi, how's it going? Good, thanks.

So surprise, did you ruin, Jamie? That was actually my bosses that ruined a surprise for all my co-workers. So what happened was me and my partner were expecting our first child together. Right. A couple of weeks prior, I put my manager aside and say, hey, I'm going to take parental leave, et cetera, et cetera. We're sitting at a meeting with 15 other people, and just right in the middle she goes,

I forgot to congratulate you. You're a new dad everyone's face had dropped no one knew we were coming towards the end of the pregnancy

so we were 8 months ahead of the pregnancy yeah and I didn't know what to do I just looked

around and no one knew everyone went quiet for the rest of the meeting which was half an hour

she did not say a word to me oh no why was it a secret we were trying Everyone went quiet for the rest of the meeting, which was half an hour. She did not say a word to me. Oh, no. Why was it a secret? We were trying to keep it secret from work because we were trying to sort out everything else. And with everyone knowing in the company I work with, it spread so quickly. Yeah, okay.

By the end of the next week after that, every house knew. Yeah, I see what you're saying. Yeah, it spreads like wildfire. Good news travels fast. Thanks, Jamie. Yeah, it spreads like wildfire. Good news travels fast. Thanks, Jamie. We appreciate it. Oh, no. There you go.

It's important to let people know that it's a secret or a surprise when you tell them things. Because if they don't have all the information, you know, they can't. It's the main thing when you're organizing a surprise party. Let people know that it's a surprise. Or if there's someone who's particularly loosely lipped in your circle, make the surprise for them too. So just be like, oh,

you might be organising a birthday party for your brother, and if your dad can't keep a secret, just say, oh, dad, come over and watch the rugby this Saturday. It's a great idea. And he'll be like, oh, okay, sweet, I'll be there. As someone who has organised a surprise party, can I just say, not worth the stress. It's so stressful.

It's not, eh? Like, ridiculous. We're live from Dunedin this afternoon. We're heading to O-Week, to the Toga Party tonight, and we have been out about in Dunedin today, seeing the sights. We went to Castle Street. We went to Howe Street.

A couple of flats. We went on a really, really wild detour on the way back from the airport, which we'll talk to you about a little bit later. We took the dirt road. We took the dirt road. And it's been a while since you and I have taken a dirt road, hasn't it? Yeah. You know, like when you're in your 30s, like, you know, you're a little bit older,

a little bit more sensible. You're like, do I need to take the dirt road? I'm married now. Like, my wife does not enjoy the dirt road. It's too bumpy for her. Yeah. You know? It's too rough.

Too rough. She doesn't like a rough ride, so she stays away. So that was wild. You know, take the normal road. We ended up in Outram trying to get into Dunedin from the airport today. Anyway, we've seen some stuff but the one thing we haven't seen, which I thought

I hoped that we were going to get to see was the supermarket who we won't name. We won't name them because everyone knows it's been all over the news for a couple of weeks now. I wanted to go to the rat supermarket. And it's not a supermarket where you can buy rats. No.

Well, no, they're not for sale. No. The rats run the supermarket. They run that joint. It's ratatouille up in that supermarket. It's here in Dunedin. We've been to some student flats and some flat tours, and one of them had a rat problem.

100%. It was hard to get it under control. So we feel for this unnamed supermarket who has the rat problem at the moment. It's a hard thing to get sorted out. There's been quite a few supermarkets that have been popping up that have had similar problems recently, hasn't there? Yeah, but not to the same level as this one. According to RNZ

they're at over 20 and once you have a few and once you get shut down I don't know how many is a problem. When's it an infestation? That's a really good question. But once it becomes an issue and it's in the news, you then have to report every rat that you find.

Do you? Yeah. Because I was like, stop, bro, stop telling us. Because every day you turn on the news and they're like, another rat has been found at the supermarket in Dunedin. And you're like, man. Because they're closed. They've been closed for almost two weeks.

And you know what? The thing that I feel for the supermarket, because I believe every supermarket would have a certain amount of rats. Do you reckon? Yes. Rats are smart. I see a lot of birds. I see a lot of sparrows that have flown in and then can't get out.

Just think about how much food is kept on the premises. And if one rat hears about it, they're going to tell another rat. There's bound to be at least a couple of rats. There are over 20 captured rats. That's according to Radio New Zealand. And I didn't know this. So they were meant to reopen tomorrow.. And I didn't know this. So they were meant to reopen tomorrow.

But then yesterday they found another rat. You have to have, to reopen, you have to have a rat-free window of three days. Oh, is that what it is? Yeah. That's the rules. So every time a new rat is found, not a three days. Do you reckon they'll put up a sign, rat-free for three days? You know, like some towns put up a sign, rat free for three days? You know, like some towns put up those kind of signs? Yeah, like the nuclear power plant on the side of the Simpsons,

incident free for, supermarket rat free for five days and counting. We're backing you guys. We want you to succeed. We wanted to come. It was half the reason why we were coming to Dunedin. We wanted to go to the rat supermarket. No, it wasn't. Yeah, I wanted to succeed. We wanted to come. It was half the reason why we were coming to Dunedin. We wanted to go to the rat supermarket. No, it wasn't. Yeah, I wanted to go.

What would you rather, find a rat at the supermarket or a mouse? Much of it, probably a mouse. Probably a mouse because it's smaller. Why are mice less creepy than rats? It's the tail for me. It's the eyes. It's the girth of the tail. A mouse can have beady little eyes too

but here's a fun fact. Rats cleaner than mice. Really? Yep. They clean themselves. I'm not particularly keen for either of them at my supermarkets but that's good to know. We're on our epic Dunedin road trip today. Well, we came down on a plane but we had an

epic road trip trying to get into Dunedin, didn't we? Oh, God, the going's on. There was a detour just outside the airport. And, of course, when there's a detour, you have to go the back road. Yeah. For those who have been to Dunedin before, you'll know that the airport's not actually in Dunedin. The airport's in Mosgiel.

It's quite far away. It's further away from the CBD than the Auckland airport is. Yeah. So the Auckland airport is in South Auckland. Why'd they put it so far out? In Auckland? No, in Dunedin. I don't know.

Because the whole way, you're driving over flatland with lots of space. It's a great place. It's a great airport. I don't know why it's there, but it is, and that's fine. And we're coming in, and our local ZM Black Thunder driver is driving us in, and we get to this bit, and it says you can't go this way. But there's no detour sign.

Usually there'd be those yellow, the white square on the orange sign that says detour this way. You've got to go this way because we've blocked this road, which is inconvenience you, so we'll tell you where to go. So we turn off the way we think we should go, and it's a dead end. So we'd loop back around, and we'd come back the way that we should go, and it's a dead end. So we loop back around, and we come back the way that we'd come, and we're running Apple Maps on our Black Thunder driver's phone.

She's got an iPhone. She's got Apple Maps up. And I'm looking at the phone, and it says to go this way. It says go across the main road, and you'll make a slight veer left, and then there's a road that'll arc you up behind the main road and bring you back down. You can't see elevation. It's not a topographical map. You can't see any hills or anything like that.

You can't see terrain. But immediately it puts us onto a dirt road. All of a sudden we're in the middle of nowhere. Like nowhere. There's cows everywhere. It's gone dirt road. And next minute we're kind of like on this mountain. We go past this sign that says, road not safe for cars when wet.

And we're like, okay, well, it's bone dry. We should be fine. Should be fine. And we're in a Toyota RAV4. I thought, oh, you know. Not a four-wheel drive version of the RAV4, though. Which we didn't know at the time. No.

Well, we didn't need it at the time, did we? We're going over some pretty gnarly terrain and then all of a sudden there's this huge dip which goes to this massive incline straight up. To go straight up. We're about 10 minutes along this dirt road then and it just goes straight up. What's that crazy steep

road? Oh, down here. It's just, I've had a mind blank. Claudia, what's it called? Carton, not Castle Street. Baldwin Street. It's like we look up and it's the dirt road version of Baldwin Street. So our Thunder driver, bless her heart, goes, well, if I'm going to get up that hill, I'm going to have to gun it.

And so she does. She puts the foot down, all right. And we go at full pace. Have a listen to this. I'm going to do this. You're going to do a four wheel drive? It doesn't have four wheel drive. I'm going to go off the road here.

Careful, careful, careful. Pull the R and slow down. We hit this rock bit. And the car's fine, by the way, if the bosses of ZM are listening. The axle, not so much. Nah, the car's fine. And then we come to a stop and we start skidding and we start sliding around. And we're pretty facing up.

And then the car starts to slip backwards a bit. And this is the detour that the Apple Maps told us to go on. This is not us being creative. This is the way it told us to go. We see behind us this lady in like a Mazda BT-50 ute comes up and she's like, oh, those guys are in trouble. And she

stays way back from us. She said she filmed us. Brie puts her seatbelt on and she's like, I'm not feeling safe. We switch over and I'm like, I'll give this a go. Can't get up. Anyway, long story short, we have to put it in neutral

and kind of slide back down the hell of a... Very slowly. Very slowly going, is this going to go badly? And we did a U-turn and we went back up the dirt road, back to the main road. Met this other woman who was sitting in the Mitsubishi on the road

and she said, do you reckon I can make it up there? We said, is your car four-wheel drive? She goes, yep. She goes, I don't know how to turn it on though. And I said, well, if you don't know how to turn it on, I'd say you've got no hope. So then we drive all the way. We get back to the sealed roads and we're like,

I don't care how long it takes. We drive all the way out to Outram and then back into Dunedin. And it was wild. It was wild. I felt like I was on Celebrity Treasure Island again. I was like, this is like crazy stuff. Yeah. But I guess it just shows that even in 2024,

you can't always trust the maps. There was a story about two weeks ago where they changed the layout of this road in Wales and they took out the street that you used to be able to drive down and there were stairs there. They put stairs in there now. It's a pedestrian alley and they put stairs there. And because the maps hadn't updated, people were

still turning down this thing and then driving their cars down the stairs because the maps told them that's the way to go. Oh, come on. That's not really the maps' fault. But in fairness, the amount of times that maps has sent me down a one-way street, it's obviously not been updated. We thought we'd ask you guys this afternoon on 0800DALEZM,

where did the maps take you? What did it ask you to do that was not the right thing to do but you trust in the maps? Oh, sacred Apple Maps. Oh, glorious Google Maps. You know the way. Lead me to glory. it ask you to do that was not the right thing to do but you trust in the maps oh sacred apple maps oh glorious google maps you know the way lead me to glory show me where to drive my car where did you end up you can text your stories to 9696 as well um or you can call us right now on 0800 dials at m you know what would have been perfect to play here sam hunt body like a back road oh why don't we think oh would have been perfect brie and clint brie and i had a back road. Oh, why didn't we think of that? Oh, it would have been perfect. Bree and Clint.

Bree and I had a wild trip in from the airport here in Dunedin today where we ended up on a real crazy back road. Long story short, but we ended up going up a road that our car could definitely not get up. We got stuck halfway up this hill. I feel like I was in one of those videos. You know that you see those crazy four-wheel driving videos? Where the cars try and go up just these ridiculously steep hills?

That was us. Except our car wasn't four-wheel drive. No. It wasn't all-wheel drive. It wasn't four-wheel drive. Also, we've been fact-checked, which I always appreciate, by the way. We said the Dunedin Airport was a Mozgill miles away. It's not.

It's in Tairi. And you said, why was it built so far away from Dunedin? It's an old RNZAF Air Force base. Yeah, right. Which got converted into an airport. So they just used the runway that was there. Yeah, I think that's what it was. I'm like, this'll do. It's close enough. So we're asking you, where did the

maps lead you to? Someone texted and said, somehow, my maps take me to the pub every Wednesday. I don't know how it happens, but there are no complaints, except from my wife. Yeah, don't you hate it't know how it happens, but there are no complaints except from my wife. Yeah, don't you hate it when that happens? Yeah, no, that's good gear from you. Good gear, good gear. Someone else said, while I was in the Greek islands,

Google Maps kept telling me to turn right into a cliff face. That was you, wasn't it, Tiana? That's your text message. Yeah, hello. Hello, Tiana? That's your text message. Yeah, hello. Hello, what happened? Hi, so I was in the Greek Islands for work and I was driving along the road and it kept telling me to turn right

and I was with a friend and we were both really confused and she had the phone open and I was like, are you sure there's going to be another waiver because there's literally no other place to turn? And she's like, oh, maybe it's an error on Google Maps. We'll keep going and see if there's a turn off later on. And we kept going. There was nothing else.

There was a close face to our right. It was telling us to turn right. And then there was just a drop to the left. You're telling me your Google Maps was trying to kill you. Is that what you're telling me? Yeah, so I managed to turn around like a few hundred metres up the road, go back to see if it would tell us to go anywhere else. And I was like, no, now go left into the cliff face. So I eventually

turned around, came back and then after a while I was like, actually, now we want like, there's another alternative route. Turn left and just drive off the cliff. Oh my God. You know what's wild is that there's another alternative route. Turn left and just drive off the cliff. Oh, my God. You know what's wild is that there's another text message that's come through with a very similar story in Greece and the Google Maps told them to go off a cliff as well. Yeah. I wonder if it was in the exact same place.

You would hope that people have enough common sense to not do that. I know we've talked about some silly detours, and we took a silly detour, but you'd hope they... You stop before you... But how would you know? Has anyone looked down there? Google Maps said...

Thanks, Tiana. We appreciate it. Thanks, Tiana. Laura is on 0800 dial ZM. Laura, where did the maps tell you to go? So maps told us to turn left at... We were in Germany, in Berlin, and I was, Google MAPS extraordinaire, my partner was driving, and for like, you know, 800 metres, they'd

turn left up here, so I said, right, you need to turn left. And we turned left, and it was, there were two lanes, so didn't think anything of it, and we got about 50 metres down, and then cars were coming towards us. And they were flashing lights and stuff. You were on the wrong side of the road? No, it was a one-way street with two lanes. So we had to stop and reverse and pull back into the lanes that we had been in to try and reroute. It wouldn't reroute, so I just did, like, follow the road, like,

just go straight. Please tell me your boyfriend didn't blame you. Well, he was a little bit like, well, let me have a look. And I was like, no, I swear there was only one left-hand turn. Only, like, it was a straight road otherwise. I said, that was our turn. Aren't we pathetic?

We're so reliant on this technology now that... And, like, foreign country as well. Yeah, I know. aren't we pathetic we're so reliant on this technology now that and like foreign country as well yeah I know 100% in a foreign country language barriers

you can't read the road signs in a foreign country it's all you've got yeah I feel for you Laura yeah exactly hence why Laura ended up on a one way street thanks Laura

and I thought I was doing so good like I'd gotten us out of Berlin we had gone on the autobahn we were just on the outskirts of Berlin

and then that Berlin and then that happened. That's when they get you, Laura, when you get your confidence up and they just want to knock you down a few pegs. Thanks, Laura. Someone texted in and they said, I couldn't spell the German town name on the rental and ended up two countries away,

rolled up to the border. We couldn't get in and then we got stuck in Slovakia with no passport. Isn't that wild? We'd left our passports at the hostel back in Germany. So can they get back across the border? I don't know. That's wild to me, like when you're over, like in Europe, that you can literally drive and go through two countries in one day.

Yeah, yeah. Crazy. Nicola's here on our 800 dials at M. Hi, Nicola. Hi, Nicola. Hi. Your Google Maps has got a fun little quirk, doesn't it? Yeah. Crazy. Nicola's here on 0800. Hi, Nicola. Hi, Nicola. Hi. Your Google Maps has got a fun little quirk, doesn't it? Yeah.

So I was in Taurikua when some of the new buildings were happening over there, and I was trying to find an industrial building, and it would say, take the fourth exit. So I'd take the fourth exit round the roundabout. The next roundabout, take the fourth exit. Okay. Did it again.about, take the fourth exit. Okay. Started again, went up to the,

back to the first one, take the fourth exit. So I went around twice before I realised, hang on, something's not quite right here. It was just sending you around and around the roundabout. Around, around the roundabout, up the road a little bit, round another roundabout. Back to the same roundabout.

Was playing games with you, Nicola? Oh, I know. And, yeah, I just was so upset that it took me two or three times to go round both roundabouts before I realised something was wrong. Yeah, oh, my God. You're like, wait a second, I can use my own brain and realise that this computer is telling me something wrong. I'm not a slave to the machine.

Thank you, Nicola. We appreciate it. Thanks, Nicola. Well, there you go. Someone's just texted and said the road that we went on from the airport, someone just texted and said, oh, my God, you guys went up Breakneck Road as your detour. It's called Breakneck Road? If we'd known it was called Breakneck Road,

if we'd known it was called Breakneck Road, we probably wouldn't have turned onto it. Yeah, I mean, it kind of gives it away. Someone look at it. Someone go and look at it. It's on my Instagram story at the moment. Someone go and have a look and tell me if that is a road that anybody else has ever been on before. Horrendous.

Bree and Clint, birthday bangers moved. You haven't missed it. If you're keen to know your birthday banger, you should give us a call now. Bree and Clint. Time for a birthday banger. Bree and Clint.

The love shack is a little old place where we can get together. June, the B-52. It's got to be in the top ten greatest wedding songs, wedding party songs of all time, right? It's a crowd favourite. What do you think, Poppy? Do you know that song? No, I don't. Fair enough, Poppy.

That makes sense too. Your Aunt Tanya would love it though, I reckon. Wait there, Poppy. We're going to do another birthday banger. Who's this one? Up next is Tegan. Hi, Tegan. Hi.

How's your day been? Not too bad. Oh, good to hear. Well, Tegan, we're excited to do your birthday banger. What's your date of birth? 17th of January, 98. All right. That means you were 16 in 2014, Tegan.

On the 17th of January, 2014, this was number one. I'm friends with the monsters, I'm trying to pop dead. Get along with the boys. Huge hit from Rihanna and Eminem. Is it the last great Eminem song? Could be. Could be, eh? Could be.

Good, mate. Whereabouts are you calling from? Little Old Gore. Oh, we've been through Gore many times. No, we went through Gore once. Oh. When I say many times. No, we went through Gore once. Oh.

Oh, it's a hard one today. What are you thinking? I don't know. B-52s is more fun. B-52s is a lot of fun. Eminem, we still play all the time, that song? Yeah, we do. It's still on the playlist.

We got roasted by Maddie McLean last time we didn't play Crush. We have played that on Birthday Banger before. Have we? Yes. It might be a B-52s day for me. I think I agree with you. And I feel like Poppy would be excited if she won. Bring her on. Hey, Poppy, are you stoked if you win Birthday Banger

for your auntie today? Yeah. Then let's do it. All right, you've won. Tell your Aunt Tanya for us you won Birthday Banger, okay, Poppy? Okay, thank you so much. You're welcome. Brian Clinton, you won Birthday Banger. Okay, Poppy? Okay. Thank you so much. You're welcome. Bree and Clint on ZM.

I love this segment Of your show It brings back Absolute bangers And songs you forgot You knew Plus I hope It's educational

For the young ones In the car Isn't it so funny That people are In the car At the exact same time Every day Yeah

So you might be a person Who listens to ZM from just 5.15 to 5.35 each day and you never hear anything else. You might never hear Fact of the Day in the morning. You never may hear Tradie vs Lady in the afternoons. Even you

mentioning it now goes, what's Tradie vs Lady? Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I think it's good. I think it's good to shuffle it around. Someone else also said, I still blame slash thank you guys for my Rhys Mastin rediscovery. Oh, are you a Mastinator? Are you a reformed Mastinator? No, a Masticator is someone who chews. A Mastinator is someone who likes Rhys Mastin.

A Mastinator. And a Mastib... No, we know what it is. We know. Next on the show, this is not a hypothetical. It's almost like a what would you do in this situation, but it's a real story about a lady who won a crazy amount of money on a scratchy with a guy that she'd only just started seeing.

We've all thought about a situation where if you were to win a lot of money, like, would I leave my partner? Well, this is a real-life version of that, and we'll talk about it next. We're down here for Ori 24. It's O-Week. Yeah, we're going to the toga party later tonight. I forgot my toga, so I'm going to have to use the sheet from my hotel. I'm going to use a shower curtain, which is slightly translucent.

I feel like that's asking for a rash. Yeah, but it's waterproof. He'll be laughing at the end of the night. And also see-through. So, I mean, that's good and bad points. Good and bad points. I want to talk about this story I heard about this couple that hadn't been dating for long, right?

So, I'm pretty sure they'd been dating for about three months, which is very early days. Very early. Early days. And anyway, on a Friday night, they've decided to head down to, I think their local fish and chip shop, get some takeaways. And whilst they were there, one of them, the guy in the relationship, said, hey, we should get some scratch-its.

Oh, okay. Get some scratchies. Yeah. Like, you know, for a get some scratch-its. Oh, okay. Get some scratchies. Yeah. Like, you know, for a Friday. Yeah, fun. Bit of fun. Yeah. Anyway, the female in the relationship said, I don't have money to buy scratchies at the

moment. Yeah. And he said, that's all good. I'll transfer you money. Okay. I'll transfer you money. Okay, okay, yeah. Because she was the only one that had her bank card.

Okay. Okay? She was the only one that had a bank card. Anyway, Okay? She was the only one that had a bank card. Anyway, she said, okay, sweet. Anyway, they're standing in the store. He's trying to transfer the money. He's like, oh, there's no reception. It's not going through.

And she's like, oh, don't worry about it. I'll just buy them. We can figure it out later. Yeah. Okay? Yeah. So she's bought them. This is a weird dynamic, but yeah, okay.

So she's bought the scratchies. She's bought. His idea, he said he'd pay, she ends up paying. She ends up paying. It's on her card, she ends up paying. They buy the scratchies, they go home. They eat their food. They scratch, obviously, you know, to see if they've won anything.

One of them, one of the scratchies was worth $1.9 million. Oh, okay. Yeah. Okay. Who scratched it? She did. Okay. And she paid for it.

And she paid for it. Yeah. Turns out, three weeks later, they've gone in. It's real. It's the real deal. They've got the money. Yeah. Because she's filled out the back of the card.

Because on the Scratchies, you know, you have to put your name on it. Yeah. And she's put her details on that. They discussed that. Good idea. Yeah. Because she's filled out the back of the card because on the scratch, you know, you have to put your name on it. Yeah. And she's put her details on that. They discussed that. Good idea. Anyway. It's the first thing you should do. It's the first thing you should do if your lotto ticket wins.

Yep. And in pen, not pencil. Yeah. Three weeks later, four weeks later, she pretty much ghosts him and says, I want you to leave my house because he was living with her at the time. After three months. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Early days. But she says, I want you to leave my house because he was living with her at the time. After three months. Okay. Yeah.

Yeah. Early days. But she says, I want you to get out of the house. I'm a millionaire now. I need a millionaire boyfriend. Now he's saying, wait a second. I'm entitled to half that money. What do you think that the Lotto Commission slash lawyers have said that he's entitled to based on the details that I've given you?

Based on those exact details, that the only thing he contributed was the idea and the intention to pay. Yes. That he, under the eyes of the law law he, unfortunately for him, I reckon he's entitled to nothing. So he's claiming that eventually the transfer did go through later on. Doesn't matter. But it was purchased on her card. Doesn't

matter. How much did he transfer her? $10? He's entitled to his $10 back. Turns out he's entitled to diddly squat. Yeah. Nothing. And fair enough.

You reckon that's fair? I do reckon that's fair. It's a new relationship. Like, there's no commitment from either of them at three months. It's not a marriage. Okay, legally, let's talk legally. Yes, he's entitled to nothing because she bought it on her card. Yeah. She scratched it.

Yeah. Her name was on the ticket. So literally the money's going to her. Morally, is he entitled to anything? I don't think so. No? My gut says no. Really?

I'm on the fence here. I don't really know where I sit. I don't know that he contributed anything. But here's what he's saying. Yeah. He said, without me having the idea, pushing her to buy it, she would never have won. And he also says, I also understand without her being there,

having the card and paying for it, I would have won nothing either. Which you did, yeah. But both of us had to have been there. Do you think he should get half? I don't know. Do you think? Like, no, legally no. He's not entitled to anything.

And I don't know the other background details of their relationship and all the other stuff that goes into it. But morally, I feel like I have. What a time for your card to decline. Oh, my God. Oh, no. He was so close. Because if the money had just gone through,

if it had just gone through, then there's no denying he's entitled to half. So, wait. So, he was transferring her money to her bank account. Yeah. So, do you reckon if he transferred that money... Yeah. And she made the purchase for him. And it's gone into her account, then he's entitled to how much? I believe so, yeah. But to how much? Half. Half. And she made the purchase for him. And it's gone into her account. Yeah. And then he's entitled to how much?

I believe so, yeah. But to how much? Half. Half. I would have said half, yeah. Well, I guess it depends on how much money he transferred. Bree and Clint. Yeah.

Boy. And this Taylor Swift, Singapore story is all over the news. It's not new news that she's going to play in Singapore, is it? No. These concerts have been booked for ages. It's next month. She does Singapore in March march that's the next league of the eras tour so she's doing six gigs in singapore which if you've ever been to singapore it's just one island it's not big it's not big but there's it's like a it's like a like a hub for that part of asia

like there's a lot of people that go there so i think a lot of people around asia are going to travel to singapore to see taylor swift that of people around Asia are going to travel to Singapore to see Taylor Swift play live. That's, like, where everyone's going to come. A very rich country. You know Singapore was one of the first countries that had fast food delivery? Oh, really? Yeah.

Like, before Uber Eats. Right. Like. It's a stunning place. It's gorgeous. There's news out today that Taylor Swift people did a deal with the government in Singapore that that would be the only Asian country that she, well, Southeast Asian country, I believe,

that she would perform in. And by doing so, they paid Taylor Swift an extra, on top of all of the money that she makes from the Eros tour, they paid her an extra $27 million to do six gigs there. And it's a great idea because it means that all the Swifties from that part of Asia are going to come to Singapore. They're going to spend their money in Singapore. But $27 million on top, you'd do it.

Absolutely, because they're going to make it back. Yeah, they're going to make it back. By how many people will travel to Singapore. Yeah. And just the money that that tour is bringing in. And she's really good with it. Like, we got that news earlier in the year that she paid everybody those huge bonuses at the end of the American leg of her tour.

But wouldn't you be, if you're one of the roadies for the Aussie leg of the Eris tour or the Singaporean leg of the Eris tour, are you like, oh, I wonder what she's going to. Are we going to get a bonus? I wonder what she's going to get. I going to get a bonus? I wonder what she's going to get. I wonder what Taylor Swift is going to get us. $27 million is such a large amount of money. Yeah.

But in the context of how much that tour is making, not really? Do you reckon? Do you reckon $27 million? Well, how much do you reckon that tour has grossed so far? I don't know. But if there were 90, what was it, 92,000 people in Melbourne? 96, I think.

96,000 people. Let's do some real quick girl maths. Yeah, do some math. So 96,000 people, let's say, because I mean, tickets are quite like... You bought your tickets. How much did you pay? My tickets were $290 each. And what are they?

Are they mid-tier tickets? Are they upper? Are they lower? They're mid-tier. So that's like average. Let's say they're average. $290 times how many people

were there? $96,000. That is $27 million a night. Well there you go one concert. And obviously

it costs money to put that on but then times by two that's $55 million made in the two nights in Melbourne. That's crazy. How many nights is she doing in Sydney? She's doing Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday. What?

I'm pretty sure she's doing four. And two in Melbourne? I think so. Okay, so that's... Wait, I might be wrong. So say there's six gigs in Australia. That sounds about right. That's $167 million just in ticket sales that the heiress tour will generate. Then merch, then drinks, then everything else.

You don't even take into account merch and all the rest of it. The Taylor Swift machine is incredible. It's in full swing, that's for sure. Bree and Clint. Mouldy Foods. Are you the type of person, Clint, you know, you wake up in the morning, you feel like a bit of toast, you pull out the last piece of bread. It's got a little bit of mould on it.

My bread lives in the freezer, so I never have mouldy breads. So I'm trying to think of other foods that I would eat if they were mouldy. I'd cut around the mould on cheese so long as it was only spots. The cheese, like when you have mouldy cheese so long as it was only spots. The cheese, like when you have mouldy cheese, it makes it better.

That's what my nonna always used to say. Like parmesan, you cut the mould, that's when you know it's ready. Someone said to me cheese is mould. Literally. Yeah. Well, there's a study that's been done by a doctor named Keith Schneider. He's a food safety expert at the University of Florida. And he has come out and said that some moulds are harmless on food.

It's completely harmless. You can cut it off and enjoy the rest of the food. However, some foods produce mould that is very, very toxic. Is the mould specific to the food? I think so. Right. Yeah, like some foods produce what they call a mycotoxin.

Okay. Which makes you sick. Like black mould. I hope it's not black mould, but he said it can cause stuff like vomiting, upset stomachs, or in extreme cases lead to organ damage. Oh, Jesus. And some types of cancer.

Oh, okay. Sorry, story got grim. Yeah. Let's bring it back up a little bit with a game that I like to call the mouldy food game. Can you eat it? Can you not? So here, I'm going to give you some foods, right?

And you just have to tell me if there's a bit of mould on this certain type of food. Is it good to eat or is it not? Okay, go. Okay, first one. We'll start with an easy one. Hard cheeses. Good to go.

Cut it off, good to go. Exactly. Yeah. Cut it off, it's good to eat. Makes it taste better, in my opinion. What about a soft cheese? Sorry, was that an official yes from the doctor? That's an official yes from the doctor.

What about a soft cheese? No. No, because it's gooey. Like a camembert? Yeah, I feel like it would have travelled. In my mind, it's spread through the goo, so I'd say no. Soft cheese is no. No good. But then I mean like a blue cheese is a soft cheese and it is mouldy. I'm paranoid

about blue cheese because it's one of the foods that pregnant women can't eat. So I'm like, oh, there must be. That's so true, eh? Yeah. Like, if it's dangerous. And sushi. And what about deli meats?

Oh, yeah. Can't have a deli meat. She's rough being pregnant. It's all the best foods. Okay, let's move right along. What about if your yogurt has a bit of mold on it? No. What, are you going to scoop it out?

No. I'll say no. Yeah, no, definitely not. Get rid of the moldy yogurt, that's for sure, according to the doctor. Let's go with a harder one, chocolate. Oh. Does chocolate go moldy? It can go moldy.

I thought chocolate couldn't go moldy or off. That's what I thought. I thought it was like honey. According to this list, it can go moldy. Okay. If you've got a bit of mold on the chocolate, can you cut it off and can you eat it? Yeah, I say yes. I say yes.

Yeah. Yes, you can. Because it would be a crime to throw out chocolate. Even if it's got that white stuff on it, that indicates it's very old. That only goes on cheap chocolate, I've found. Do you reckon? Like advent calendar chocolate. Yeah, it's always white.

Like my Whittaker's has never gone white. Yeah, well, that's probably because it's not old enough. It doesn't last that long. Yeah, chocolate. Yeah, it's always white. Like my Whittaker's has never gone white. Yeah, well, that's probably because it's not old enough. It doesn't last that long. Okay, let's move right along to muffins. Muffins in the same category as bread. A mouldy muffin. Yeah, I'd eat a mouldy muff. Just cut it off.

A mouldy muff doesn't sound great and you shouldn't be. Oh. Can be a bad mould on the muffins. What about bagels? Similar category, but a harder, I feel like bagels are more dense. It's denser, it's very dense, yeah. But you could still squash it in your hand and the trend I'm noticing is if you can't squash it,

you can cut it off. So I'm going to say no, you can't eat a bagel if it's mouldy. Correct, correct. Can't eat a bagel if it's gone mouldy, according to this study. What about jam? No. Jam, if it's got a bit of mould on it, can you scoop it out? Can you scoop around the mould?

No. Apparently, this study says yes. Oh, okay. I don't know if I... Whose jam is going mouldy? I don't know if I would, though. Like, I feel like I'd steer clear. Let's roll through some of these last ones.

Carrots. No, I'm not eating a mouldy carrot. You can cut it off and eat it. Okay. According to this study. And last one, what about apples? A mouldy apple. I feel it would go squishy and rotten before it would go mouldy.

I'm not eating. I'm so weird about my fruit. I'm not eating a mouldy apple. No. Yeah, I feel like I'd steer clear, but according to this study, you can cut it off and eat it. There you go. Waste not, want not. Go into your compost bin, get that stuff that you threw out on Sunday, get that bag of...

Oh, they should have done bags of spinach leaves that you buy from the supermarket and then put in the veggie drawer for a week, and then at the end of the week, throw out the whole bag of spinach leaves and put a fresh bag of spinach leaves in there. It's just like a breeding ground isn't it for mold that's us brie and i uh now heading back to our hotel to prepare for our is it our fourth um denethen university of otago um toga party for o-week we never miss the toga party uh for o-week clint and the only ones we have missed are the ones obviously during COVID. So we're always there. We're the most mature age students you can get. We did a flat tour today of some student flats on Howe Street, right near Castle Street. Howlloween.

And I've never felt more like mum and dad going through, like coming down to check on their kids at university than I did on that flat tour. Didn't we? It was like we went in there to be like, how are you guys going? Have you got good food in the fridge? Like, to be honest, and you and I felt the same, I feel, one of the flats we went to, pretty good.

The girls' flat. The girls' flat, pretty good, Nick. Quite tidy. And then we went to the big red boys' flat. And let's just say I got, I'm pretty sure I got a staph infection. Yeah. At one point I go, is something on fire? And they go, oh, no, that's just Will.

He's smoking. Inside. And I was like, this is just indoor smoking. He goes, yeah, man, free Will. And not like, we're not talking the vape. We're talking like... Like a proper cigarette. Old analogue cigarette indoors.

Anyway, it's time to toga party. We're young, we're cool, we're ready to go. So we'll catch you back tomorrow. We'll be back in Auckland and we'll bring you all the details. Oh no, what happens at the toga party stays at the toga party, eh? Yeah, that's the rules, obviously. Have a great night, everybody. We'll catch you tomorrow. Play.
