Sunday. Oh, because it's on the weekend? Yeah. Is it actually on Sunday? The weekend's performing on Sunday. No, I actually don't know. Have you checked that? I actually don't know when he's performing.

Please don't take Brie's word for that. No, I actually don't know. Have you checked that? I actually don't know when he's performing. Please don't take Bree's word for that. Imagine if he is, though. He should be performing on a Saturday or Sunday. He should only perform on Saturdays or Sundays. December the 7th at Eden Park is when the weekend will be performing. Eden Park. Oh, it's pretty good. It's a Thursday.

It's close. That is not the weekend. It's the pre-weekend. It's a Thursday. It's close. That is not the weekend. It's the pre-weekend. It's the pre-weekend. So technically... I'll give you Friday night. I will not give you Thursday. You have to give me all Friday.

The pre-weekend. Hey, this is what's happening today. We're going to give away a double pass to Taylor Swift at 4 o'clock and we're going to give away a double pass to The Weeknd at 5 o'clock today. To win the Taylor tickets, you already know what to do. You need to collect all three songs and call us at 4 o'clock. But to win this Weeknd double pass, we're going to make it a bit easier for you.

Yeah, that's right. All you have to do to win the Weeknd double pass is text WEEKND to 9696. Not the Weeknd. Just Weeknd. Just weekend. Weekend. One word, weekend. Text it to 9696, and we will pick out one of those texts at random,

call you back at five, and we'll hook you up with that double pass to see the weekend. Those are going to get given away today.

The Trady's on 69, the Lady's on 77. Our lady's calling from Hamilton. She's 41 and she is a professional mother Uber driver. Welcome to the show, Jade. G'day, Jade. Hello. Are you an actual Uber driver or you just feel like one because of all the travel you do with your kids? I would say actual and because I've travelled with all the kids.

Okay. Do you charge them? Because I would. I do. Yeah, good. They're very domesticated. Jade, you're funny. Taking on our tradies today. They're from Christchurch.

They're 18 and they collect Lego for a living. Welcome to the show, Jaden. G'day, Jaden. What do you mean by you collect Lego for a living? I'd use my work money for a Lego. Oh, gotcha. You collect Lego with your living? Yes.

Yeah, that's correct. Yeah. You should get a job at the Lego store because then you get a discount. You're just putting money back into the business. Sounds like a good idea. Yep. And then you can just steal from work. No, don't do that.

Jayden, one more question because I'm always interested in Lego collectors. What's the biggest Lego set that you've made? Probably the AT-ST from Lego Star Wars. How many pieces is that? Probably like, I think it's 900 pieces. Yeah, right. Yeah, damn. Okay, there's a bit in there.

Hey, Jade and your buzzers, Trady, Jade, yours is Lady. Whoever gives us three correct answers first is going home with 50 bucks cash from KFC. Good luck, guys. Here we go, guys. Question number one. A new season of Only Murders in the Building has dropped on Disney+, with a huge

new big name to add to the cast line-up. Is that person Kate Winslet, George Clooney or Meryl Streep? Freddie. Yes, Jaden. George Clooney. No. Jade, you want. George Clooney. No. Jade, you want to guess?

Kay Winslet. We were looking for Meryl Streep. Oh, Meryl. It's hard to believe, isn't it, Jade? What does she? Okay. Yeah, but she's going to be on it. It's amazing.

I just won. She's telling everyone. I'm telling everyone in the Uber that she won. Sing it from the rooftop, Jade. Well done, Jade. 50 bucks coming your way thanks to KFC. Bree and Clint. A crazy, crazy story from a place near Glasgow, actually,

called Inverclyde that I read today. This story is wild. So the local town in Inverclyde near Glasgow has a very, very special start to the school year coming up. Okay. Because they are preparing for 17 sets of twins to start school at the same time. That is bizarre.

Is that not wild? But the story gets even more crazy because when I read that headline, I was like, wow. So the 17 sets of twins are all from the same town, but that's not the record for this school, for the amount of twins starting at the same time. Okay. So the record, which was set back in 2015 for sets of twins

starting at the same time, was 19. That's insane. I'm just looking here. The population of Inverclyde is 78,000 people. Like it's not a big city. Apparently it's been people call it Twinverclyde because

of this reason. Like they're known for it. There must be something in the water. I guess because it's a small village I imagine or town. Maybe like the same families have lived there forever and if you've got because having twins is genetic, isn't it? Like you have a genetic predisposition

to be a twin haver. Is it identical or non-identical? It's either fraternal or identical. One or the other is genetic. Yeah. It must be identical twins that's genetic. I don't know. But maybe the family lineage,

you know, maybe the- I see what you're saying. I see what you're saying. I see what you're saying. Maybe they're all a bit inbred and they're sharing the same- Oh, jeez. They're sharing the same- I hope they're not listening. Get this.

This is another statistic out of this town. So apparently they have had 147 sets of twins attend the school since 2013, which averages about 13 per year. That's amazing. That's wild. I could count on one hand the number of twins that I know. Like it's across my life, I reckon. Yeah.

It's not that common. And imagine being at school and there's 13 other sets of twins. Imagine being a teacher in that first six months, trying to figure out which is which and who's who. Yeah, you want to hope they're fraternal. Yeah. And not identical because that is a teacher's nightmare, isn't it? Do you put them all in the same class or do you split them all up?

That's a great question. Because I reckon it'd be kind of fun to put 13 sets of twins in one class because that's 26 kids. That's a class size. I feel like if they're young, you kind of have to, like, you know, grade one, you have to keep them together. That's your best friend. Yeah. They'd be too scared without them. That's wild, isn't it? Yeah, that's wild. What a phenomenon. I thought we could ask people, because I mean, just twins in general is so interesting. And if you have twins that run in

your family, I thought we could ask the question, do you have multiple, multiple twins in your family, I thought we could ask the question, do you have multiple, multiple twins in your family? And when I say family, how far are we willing to go out? I think you want to know if you've got a twin and then your mum had a twin and your sister has had twins. I reckon we put it out. You have to put it out to first, second, third cousins. Yeah. It goes to like that far. Yeah. How many twins are there in the family?

Are you twin people? Yeah. I'm so interested. Will we take... And we'll give you extra points if you both call us. I think we also give extra points if you've got multiple twins and then there's also a set of triplets in there. Oh, triplets in there. You know, any duplicates is counted. Oh, triplets in there. You know, any duplicates is counted. Oh, no, no. The more you guys have duplicated, the more interesting the story.

Yeah. 0800 dials at M or you can text us on 9696. How many sets of twins is your family running? Where's Octomum at? Bree and Clint. We want to know, are you from a multi-twin family or a multi-duplicate family? Also, we were talking about earlier whether it was fraternal or identical twins.

That is genetic. Yeah. It's fraternal. Isn't that weird? So the ones that aren't identical are genetic. I would have thought it was identical. Yeah, identical is like super, super rare. Fraternal, not as rare from my understanding.

I would have thought the identical bit was the genetic bit because your egg has to literally divide, you know? So that means, and I've just figured out, my mum is a fraternal twin and it skips a generation, they say, so she didn't have twins. So guess who's in line to have twins? Me. Matt's here.

Hi, Matt. Hi, Matt. How's it going, guys? All good? We're good. You got a lot of twins? I have two sets of identical twins. Yeah, just in my family.

Matt, two sets of identical, which is the really rare one. Yeah. You're the father. Twin girls first. You're the father of two sets of identical twins. I am. To the same person. God, Matt, what are you?

No, no. So twin girls to my first relationship. Right. So yeah, twin girls. And then obviously that relationship ended, split up, and got with my wife. She had a son from a previous marriage. So we just wanted one more baby to round it all out.

And lo and behold, boomskies, twin boys. Twin boys. Matt, what kind of stuff are you producing over there, mate? Is it like super mutated? Do you eat two of everything? Do you do everything in doubles? Yeah. Matt's like, I always crack double yolks.

So we had four kids under the age of five. Wow. She was tough, tough to start. You had a bit on. You poor bugger, Matt. All right. Thanks, Matt. Thank you for sharing.

That's wild. Someone on the text machine said, my oldest sister was an identical twin, but she only survived the birth. So she was the only one that survived. Four and a half years later, my fraternal twin and I were originally quintuplets. So five of us, but only two of us survived until the birth.

My older sister went on to become pregnant with twins, but only one survived the birth. Wow. God. That's so rough, eh? That's a lot of loss, but also there's some crazy genes going on there. Let's talk to Kelly. Hi, Kelly. Hi, Kelly.

Hey, team. Tell us, Kelly, is it your best friend's family that has a lot of twins? Yeah, so her mum is one of 14 kids, I think, and there's three sets between them. Okay. Three sets of twins within the 14 kids. Yeah, so from memory, I think there's two fraternal and one lot of identical. Yeah.

And then my best friend had an oopsie-daisy pregnancy at 40, and I think we both know what happened there. Did she have a set of twins? Yeah, a set of twins. At 40? At 40. What a blessing, Kelly. What a blessing.

That'll teach her. That'll teach her. Kelly. To be honest honest I feel like if I kept having kids Until I got up to 14 I'd have a couple of twins as well The more you keep going You'd want to I couldn't think of anything worse Me neither

Someone texted and said My grandmother had five sets Of twins and one set was identical. My mum is one of the twins. She made it into the local paper. You would. You've had five sets of twins. You've got 10 kids from five births.

Yeah. I mean, good odds. Yeah, but if you want 10, I guess you did want 10 kids back then. Last person wants to be anonymous. Hi, anonymous. Hi, anonymous. Hi, Anonymous. Hi, Anonymous. Hi, guys. There's a lot of twins in your family?

Yep. So my younger brothers are twins. Yep. They're fraternal. I've got a set of identical twin boys. And there's two sets of twins on my mum's side of the family and four sets of twins on my wife's side of the family. There's eight sets that I know of of the family and four sets of twins on my wife's side of the family. There's eight sets

that I know of in the family. Wow. That is a lot of bloody twins. That's a lot of twins. Are you done having kids, Anonymous? Yeah, 100%. Yeah, we had a daughter and we wanted two kids.

Yeah. And we ended up with three under three. So we're definitely done having kids. Because the rest of you, just trying to have one more, you'd definitely have triplets. I probably would, yeah. Super strong genes in your family, Anonymous, that's for sure.

Thank you. Thanks for the call. We appreciate it. Thanks, Anonymous. This text is wild because identical twins is the rare one. Someone said, my wife's cousins are identical twins. Their mum is also an identical twin. Yeah, wow.

So she's an identical twin and she had identical twins. Yeah, and then you want the identical twins to have identical twins, but you want them to have those identical twins with identical twins. So hopefully the identical twins on this side, identical twins on this side are identical. Imagine the family reunion. It'd be so confusing. You'd just walk around going, who is that? You could all do that thing, you know,

where you pretend to be a mime and the person on the other side of the mirror just moves with you. I've just realised I've got identical twin cousins, first cousins. Did you? You just realised that? No, I've just, now I have because I'm thinking about what I'm prone to having. I don't want bloody twins.

Guys, many moons ago there was a segment on this show where we talked about our favourite gadgets. Yep. And you guys were able to tell us what your favourite gadgets were. We shared what ours were. Great time. A glorious time. It was a glorious time. Well, I'm relaunching that segment because I've found a bloody good gadget.

Okay. So let's do it. What's your gadget? What's your gadget? Tell me what's your gadget. What's your gadget? Tell me what's your gadget. What's your gadget?

Oh, it's still going. Tell me what's your gadget. What's your gadget? It's still going. Tell me what's your gadget. It's still going. Producer Claude, can we put it into the diary to redo that horrendous intro, please? Did you remember that you had sung that? No, I didn't. I didn't remember that, but we're going to breeze right past it. It's a producer being classic, that one.

That was shocking. Because I don't want it to overshadow this gadget that I've come across on the interwebs. Look, maybe I'm a novice. Maybe I'm just an amateur in this area. But I had never seen this type of gadget before. Okay. The weather is terrible at the moment

and has been for many months. It's been a rubbish winter. It's a rubbish winter. We had a rubbish summer. It's just rain, rain, rain, rain. What happens when it's just constantly raining? The ground gets soggy. Things go mouldy.

Or we get a lot of... What happens when you wash your clothes? They don't dry. Condensation inside the house. You can't put them outside to dry. You can't use the sun to dry them. And then when they're inside on the bloody clothes rack... They make your house damp.

Exactly. Well, I think I've found the gadget to... It's not a dehumidifier, is it? Because I've heard of those. No. Okay. No, I know what a dehumidifier is. This product...

As I get into my tin, they're pretty good. This gadget is called the Lakeland Dry. Okay. It's a three-tier heated indoor clothes airer. I have seen these on things like Wish before. I've never seen somewhere where you can go and buy them. They're like a heated towel rail for your entire load of washing, aren't they? It's a great

idea! It's a great idea. Why have I never thought of it? I saw it and was like, oh my god, it is literally like a clothes horse on steroids. It's a clothes horse meets electric blanket meets electric towel rail. It's genius.

It's genius. They're selling them on Amazon right now, apparently. It's genius. It's genius. They're selling them on Amazon right now apparently. It's five-star rated and they're 20% off right now. How much for one of those? How much for a – So I looked into it because it was from a UK article, but I'm sure we could get them here. Yeah.

Usually – and this is not an ad, by the way. Sounds like an ad. This is not an ad. Usually they're about $340. Yeah. But at the moment they're $275. Is it worth it? $275. Mate, when was the last time you were able to hang out your washing and it didn't rain?

We could run you dryer quite a lot for $275. Your dryer costs a fortune in electricity. It doesn't cost $275. It's a good gadget. It's a great gadget. It doesn't look particularly collapsible is the only thing, though. You know how you like to stuff the clothes horse back into the broom cupboards? Yeah, I don't know.

Is this going to be a permanent fixture in the house? I think it can close down. Yeah. But, like, the main central part is where the wiring is. Yeah. Like, where the heater is. Anyway. Well, if you'd like an Amazon code,

you can direct message Brie Thomas Allen on Instagram for the electric clothes rack. I don't even know if we can buy stuff off Amazon here, but, mate, I'm going to look into that. Someone on the text machine said, not worth it. It gets dry on the bars and the rest stay wet. Stick to this.

Oh, really? Wait, wait, wait. Someone else said, girl math it. Girl math it's easy. Yeah. The amount of times that I would spend where you have to rewash something. Because it gets stinky. Because it gets stinky.

Yeah. Like it would cost you a fortune in electricity. A couple of years, it's going to pay itself back. Girl math, baby. What's your gadget? Not no. Tell me Girl math, baby. What's your gadget? Not no. Tell me what's your gadget? What's your gadget?

Don't play this again. This is how we end What's the Gadget? No. What's your gadget? Tell me what's your gadget? Claude, we must replace that intro immediately. Bree and Clint. Sit in, Bree and Clint. ZM Brian Clint Taylor Swift

The Heiress Tour Live in Sydney Here we go Double pass number 7 The person with a chance To be there in Sydney At the Heiress Tour Is you Izzy

Izzy you there? I'm here I'm here Oh I'm here. Oh, jeez. We couldn't hear you for a sec. We thought your phone line might be busted. That would have been a tragedy. That would have been awful.

No, it's fine. I'm very excited. You're here with us. Tell us your story, Izzy. Have you been playing with us from the start to get these tickets? Absolutely. Yeah, we have. Me and my friend Amy

And is Amy Would Amy be listening right now Or are you with Amy No I'm not with her We've already got the flights We've got our accommodation We just couldn't get tickets Oh Izzy

How good is this So you bought the flights You bought the accommodation in the hope that you could get yourself some tickets. For sure. Oh, mate. I can't believe it. If I wasn't laughing, I'd be crying.

That's why I'm laughing. All right, hold it together for us for just 15 seconds, Izzy. We need the 8, 12 and 4 o'clock Taylor Swift songs. That's the final hurdle. Give them to us. Okay, so 8 was Bad Blood. And then 12 was All Too Well, 10-minute version. And then just now was Sparks Fly.

Izzy. What? You're going to see Taylor Swift in Sydney. Oh my God, thank you. You're so welcome. Izzy, do you believe in fate? Because I do. You bought the

flights, you bought the accommodation. It was too difficult to get tickets, but you've won them with us and you're going to be there in a reserve in Sydney. That's just amazing. Thank you so much. You don't know how happy you've won them with us and you're going to be there in a reserve in Sydney. That's just amazing. Thank you so much. You don't know how happy you've made.

That's really, really cool. You're so welcome, Izzy. Congratulations. Have the best time over there. You're also in the draw. Oh, you don't need the flights. I was going to say you're in the draw for the New Zealand Grabber Seat flights, but you don't need them.

We don't need them because someone else has got a better chance of getting it now. Oh, bless you, Izzy. We will sort all of that out. That's so sweet. There you go. Okay. Brilliant. Okay, cool.

Congrats, mate. Wait there, another Taylor Swift winner. That's cool. She can't believe it. Oh, I'm so excited for her. She'd be so gutted because not only would she have flights and accommodation, you're probably going to use it anyway. So she'd be over there as everyone is going to the Taylor Swift concert

and now she's going to be one of them. That's so good. She's got the flights. She's got the accommodation. She's got the tickets. She just needs a better phone now and she's sorted. Yeah. That's the last piece of the puzzle.

She's good to go. We will do it all again tomorrow if you're keen to go to Taylor Swift. Heaps more double passes still to come. So if you want to play with us, 8 o'clock tomorrow morning with Fletch Vaughan and Hayley, the first song plays. 8 o'clock with them, 12 o'clock with Georgia, 4 o'clock with us and the first one through gets a free double pass to see Taylor Swift on the Heiress Tour.

It feels so good making people happy. It's like Christmas, every day. My favourite part of this job. Good luck for everyone tomorrow and just remember we've got heaps of tickets to go yet. Bree and Clint. I think we should play a bit of a game of who's the a-hole because I found this story that's doing the rounds on Reddit in their who's the a-hole section. Okay.

These are always a bit of fun. So this one is from a woman talking about her boyfriend that she's recently moved in with. Okay. Okay. Okay? So she says recently she got into an argument after she broke wind in the kitchen. Right. And he said to her that he's extremely fed up with her farting in the house. Okay. Okay. Okay. fed up with her farting in the house. He said he's had enough and that she should act more like a lady.

So this is what she said. She goes, I'm extremely fed up with him treating me like I'm doing something that's unnatural and always telling me that I need to be more like a lady. I feel like I should be able to fart in my own home without judgment. I told him I was sick and tired of his attitude and acting like I'm some sort of freak for doing something that everyone does.

Anyway, the internet has weighed in on the topic. Yeah. And you want to know who's the a-hole in this situation, her or him? Yeah. Apparently they've been living together for about four months. Yeah. And obviously she's been farting because we all do it.

Yeah, it sounds like she's been farting a lot. It sounds like she is making it her thing to do. He has come about... I disagree. I think she's just probably farting the normal about. No, it sounds like she's doing it a lot and she's doing it near him, on him, around him. Maybe she finds it funny. He has come about

this the wrong way. You don't... You do not! You do not say that it's not ladylike. That's not the way to resolve this situation. How would you resolve it? Hey, do you reckon you could stop farting on me so much? Thanks. I don't think she was farting on him.

I think she was just farting in his vicinity. Hey, do you reckon you could fart in a different room? Thanks. I just reckon he needs to get over it. People fart. We all fart. And as long as you're not cupcaking the guy, I think it's totally acceptable.

Kind of sounds like she might have been, though. Kind of sounds like. I think you're assuming. I think in the story, she's just saying she farted in the kitchen. He was in the living room. He said, stop farting in my presence. In this household, he banned farts in the household. Yeah.

See, it is a fine line to tread. But you and I are never going to agree on this because you're very pro-farts. I'm not pro-farts. It's a central pillar of your relationship. It's not. I just think I want to be fully comfortable in my own home and in my relationship. I don't want to not be able to fart around my partner.

We all fart. It's a completely natural, normal thing. I'm not going up to my partner and farting on them. But you are doing that to your mum. No, but that's just for video content. No, but I'm not. I'm respectful about it, but I'm not going to hold in my farts or like have to go outside to do my business,

especially when it's cold. Whereas I am. Yeah. I'm going to hold them in and I'm going to go to a different room and I'm going to do everything I can to make sure that that doesn't, that's not a part, that's not something that happens. Yeah, we're completely polar opposites on this topic. Always have been. Always have topic. Always have been.

Always have been. Always have been. I thought we could put it out to the people. Farting in front of your partner, yes or no? Yeah. It's a quick poll. It's a quick poll. Easy poll.

Yes or no? What do you think? You can text us on 9696. Especially, can I say, if you're living with someone. Yeah. Because if there's one place that you can actually just fully relax and be yourself, it should be at home. That's my opinion.

And my opinion is what greater sign of respect can you show your partner than to not do that around them? Oh, there's heaps of things. Heaps of things you can do. Yeah. Okay. Let's get the poll out there. Bree and Clint.

Welcome to the great fart debate of 2023. It is the great fart debate. And look, we're not trying to lower the tone. It's quite an interesting conversation in relationship dynamics because a woman has spoken out about how she moved in with her boyfriend and they've been living together for four months and she's been farting in front of him. She feels comfortable enough to fart in front of him

and he's turned around and said, enough, I've banned the farts from the home, no more, you need to act more like a lady. One of the specific details in her story was that she dropped her guts in front of him in the kitchen and someone texted and they said, I'm a guy, it doesn't matter what gender, just don't fart in the kitchen or And someone texted in and they said, I'm a guy. It doesn't matter what gender. Just don't fart in the kitchen or anywhere around food

or anywhere people are eating. Just do your best to leave the room. I think respectful farting, you know, is fine in front of your partner. Yeah, like we said, don't go cupcaking your partner. You're pro I'm anti-relationship farts? I'm so pro. Like I'm so pro because I had a bad experience

and I feel like every, like I can remember the times. Have you got PTSD? Yeah, because I've got a mild case of IBS, like actual diagnosed. So like for me, early in relationships, I'm always, you know, holding them in because you want to set a good kind of, you know, you want to have a good impression and then you kind of get more comfortable. And then one time I got so sick, I thought I was going to have to go to the hospital. Well, no one wants you to get sick. They just

want you to leave the room. But let's just, let's just... And then I'll be up and down every two minutes. Let's go to the people. We've already agreed that you and I will not agree. Yes, we're not going to see eye to eye. So let's go to the people. Let's talk to Connie. Hi, Connie. Hi, Connie. Hi. What's your opinion on farts in relationships?

I think you should be able to fart in a relationship. Especially if you're living together. What do you think, Connie? Yeah, I think there's nothing wrong with it. Obviously, you wouldn't, like, purposely fart on them or, like, to be disrespectful or anything. Respectful.

Be respectful about it. I love this word, respectful, that you keep throwing around. You can be respectful. Can you? Yeah. I feel like respectful is leaving the room. Nah, I think that's, you know, I mean, that's your opinion. We agree to disagree.

We'll put Connie down as pro. Hi, Taylor. Hi. You've been with your partner for seven years now. What's the deal in your relationship? Well, so I used to be really, like, funny about it, and I'm kind of like, no, like, it's a private thing. Keep it to yourself.

Kind of leave the room. And he's the complete opposite. So he's just like, right, whatever. This is me. This is who I am. Yeah. Kind of dropping his guts whenever he can be bothered kind of thing. And it's literally taken me seven years to be comfortable.

Are you a new convert, Taylor? Yeah, I am. Well, I don't know. Like, I'm still a little bit funny about it. I'm definitely anti-farthing in the kitchen. Like, I hate that I yell at him when he does it. Yes. But at the same time, I'm kind of like, oh, okay.

Like, it's got to happen. What did he say the first time that you let one go in front of him? He sort of just looked at me because I got the giggles. I always used to get the giggles, even if it was accidental. I'm sure he would have been fine with it because if he's doing it all around the house, he would have been like, welcome to the party. He kind of looked at me a little bit weird as if to say, did you really just do that? And then, yeah, now it's kind of just like, I still get the giggles sometimes.

Yeah, yeah. Even after seven years. Okay. Well, Taylor, I'm disappointed in you, but so long as you're happy. I'm so proud of you, Taylor. So long as you're happy, then that's what matters. I'm a 50-50. You're a 50-50. Okay.

I'll take a 50-50. I think go for it, Taylor. I'm proud of you. Someone texted through and they said, I'm 100% with Bree on this one. As a guy living with my girlfriend, I get enjoyment from the way my girlfriend has gotten more and more comfortable farting around me.

That's cute AF. Someone else here has said, My wife is pro-fart, so I do not get a choice. Yes. She's made the decision for you guys. You go, girl. Alice is here. Hi, Alice.

Hi, Alice. Hi, how are you? We're good. How does it work in your relationship? So we've been together for about five years now, and it's got to the point where if one of us farts, the other one kind of has to outdo the other. Oh, Alice, I don't know about that.

Is it a fart wars? Yeah, pretty much. It's kind of what we call it now. Oh, Alice. It's like watching TV, and if he lets one off, you kind of just like force one just to outdo it. Oh, Alice, Alice. No, see, that's when dogs join in too.

In a competitive environment, the risk of a follow-through is way too high. It's when accidents happen, Alice. They haven't happened yet. Okay, well, I'm sure when it does, you guys will rethink your decisions. Well, our dog joins in too now, so it's kind of... Yeah, mate. You guys need to open a window, okay? Alice, please.

You need some ventilation in the house. Alice, you funny girl. Someone said, no, we've been together for 13 years and we've never farted in front of each other knowingly. 13 years. That would be some kind of record. Yeah, well, it would be. I bet you worry about the ones that you do in your sleep, eh?

I don't. You've kept up the facade for 13 years, but you're like, oh, God, what. I bet you worry about the ones that you do in your sleep, eh? I don't. You've kept up the facade for 13 years, but you're like, oh, God, what am I like when I sleep? That's how I feel. But what's the facade, though? Do you think your wife doesn't fart? Do you honestly think your wife doesn't fart? No, but it's not an element of our relationship that we need to talk about.

Does she think you don't fart? She knows exactly where you're going. Yeah, that's fine. We just don't talk about it. We just don't talk about it. We just don't talk about it. When you're leaving the room, she's like, oh, he's going to fart again. Claudia, you get what I mean about the sleep thing, eh? I've never wholeheartedly agreed with you so hard.

Everything you've said, I'm like, yes. Yes, the terror. They're like, oh, God, let's just not talk about it. Let's just carry on with our day and let's just not talk about it. I've woken myself up with a fart before. And it was in a new relationship and I was mortified we're gonna we're gonna wrap this up okay we're gonna no more fart chat to wrap this up yeah no more fart chat for the rest of the day the rest of the week it's a briain clint guarantee brian clint uh should we get classical yeah let's

get classical let's get classical let Let's get classical. It's our game where we get ZM songs done in classical style and we have to try and guess what those are. It kind of reveals how uncultured we are and our inability to pick a tune when it's played on a piano or a violin. I definitely don't have a classical ear. No. I already knew that before we started playing this game. No, me neither.

I kind of naively hope that this will give me a classical ear. Let's play a game where you have to name a classical instrument that you feel like I would never have heard of. An oboe. I know what an oboe is. A harpsichord. Oh, don't know what that is. I also don't know if I made that up, so that's good.

Claudia's going to run this game. Claudia, what are we dealing with here? You guys are too hard on yourselves. So like you said, I've taken songs that would have appeared on the ZM playlist, so they're all pop songs, and I've found classical covers of them. So you just need to tell me what they are. And I'm pretty sure last week you guys did pretty good. So you're too hard on yourselves. You need to go in with confidence.

I think I did real bad. I think it was 3-0 last week. Yeah, I'm pretty sure it was 3-0 to Clint. Collectively, you lifted each other up. You're not hard enough on Brie. That's what the issue is here. Yeah, Brie, you did a terrible job. That's much better. Just kidding.

So you just need to buzz in with your name if you know what it is. Tell kidding. So you just seen it buzzing with your name. If you know what it is, tell me the artist's name and the name of the song. Okay. Good luck. Clint. Ariana Grande and the Weeknd's Save Your Tears. Yeah. Oi!

On the harpsichord. I knew that one as well. Sounds, um. Wouldn't have got the name of it, though, to be honest. That's a harpsichord in there. Oh, it's an electric violin, maybe. Could be. Or is it that small Japanese string?

How cool is an electric violin? Oh, it's so cool. Like, when you see someone. You don't think so? Who was the big electric violinist? Vanessa May? Oh, it's so cool. Like, when you see someone, you don't think so? Who was the big electric violinist, Vanessa May? God, it's cool. Was that who that was?

I don't know. There's someone who's on tour with her thing and she does all the dances and everything. It's so cool. If I'm attracted to someone at like a seven and I find out they play electric violin, I mean, it hasn't happened,

but I reckon I'd be like at an 11. Oh, did it take you up that far? Yeah, mate. Wow, okay. When they put that, when they rest their chin down on it, they're just like, you know, and their chin doesn't leave their shoulder. Oh, give it to me. Little bits of horse hair flying everywhere.

Oh, that's hot. Okay, well, we're at one point for Clint. Here's another one. Oh. Clint? Clint. Oh, that's my boy. That's David Guetta and Usher without you.

Yeah. Yeah. For the record, Usher is my boy, not David Guetta. Yeah, David Guetta. Yeah, David Guetta's my boy. Relax, I'm French. Yeah. Is he French?

He will play. Yeah, he's French. Oh, I didn't know that. He's French AF. Yeah, David Guetta, pity me yum. Okay, well, this is your last chance. I'm not even getting a chance to listen to it. Go do it quick.

Give her a chance to listen, guys. Okay, all right. Don't buzz in. Okay. Bree, this one's for you. Bree. Bree. That's Taylor Swift.

Oh, no. What am I doing? Have another go. Oh, no. What am I doing? No, it's not. Have another go. Have another go. Oh, it's Katy Perry, Last Friday Night. Yeah, you got it. Otherwise known as Taylor Swift, Katy Perry version. Yeah.

Bonus points. Yeah. Last Friday Night, Katy Perry version. Yeah, bonus points. Yeah. Last Friday Night, Katy's version. Yeah. Bonus points played on what instrument? Play it for me again. I believe, correct me if I'm wrong, that is a trumpet.

Yeah, she got it. No, sorry, that's the harpsichord. Brie and Clint. I saw this really funny meme this morning, which gave me a giggle, which was talking about low-key signs that someone isn't rich, but they're above average. They're doing okay. Like just above average.

Yeah. You know, like they have a little bit of extra money. The cost of living crisis hasn't truly impacted them yet. Yeah. Yeah, I know what you mean. Just a few low-key signs. This is what the list included. They fly exclusively with Air New Zealand.

And they don't need to look at the other prices of other flights. They don't want to. Yeah, yeah. That's such a good one. Okay. Another one that was on the list was their fridge has an ice dispenser. Oh, okay. Yeah.

Yep. You have an automatic ice dispenser. Or your fridge in some way makes ice. Yeah, right. Because there's not just ice dispensers anymore. So I feel like if your fridge has something where you can push a cup into it, I feel like that's a good sign. If you have a fridge with plumbing.

Yeah. Yes, a fridge with plumbing. You're in this category. Someone who can shop casually at Farmer's. Shop casually at Farmer's? Like, you know, oh, just pop into Farmer's to buy some bits and pieces. Jeez, are we considering Farmer's bougie now? That's what it says on this list.

Farmer's is the backbone of this country. I was there on Saturday to buy some bits and pieces. Geez, are we considering farmers bougie now? That's what it says on this list. Farmers is the backbone of this country. I was there on Saturday to buy singlets. You're on this list then. Okay. You're on the list. My fridge has got plumbing too. So you've got two, two out of three. What about this one?

This is the last one that was on the list. This low-key sign, someone isn't rich, but they're just above average. Your dishwasher has a cutlery tray. Oh, a cutlery tray. Tray. has a cutlery tray. Oh, a cutlery tray. Tray. Not a cutlery basket. Not a basket. The ones who lay their cutlery flat on top.

A tray. They look, can I say those look so annoying? Can I say I have one and they're amazing. Are they? They are the best thing. If you can find a dishwasher, if you have the option of either or, get the cutlery tray. We're in a cost of living crisis.

Do you think I've got money to spend on cutlery trays? Do you reckon they cost more? I've got no idea. I mean, I didn't purchase ours. I'm just living in the house. It's not mine. We can make a big list of these. These are quite funny. Yeah. I think let's put together a list. If you think you've got some,

you can text us on 9696 or you can call us on 0800 dials at M. These are not signs that someone is rich. Not signs they're rich. This is not like driving a European car or wearing Gucci. It's not that sort of thing. They've got a pool and a spa. Yeah.

Like that's rich. This is just like, this is like achievably rich. Yeah. You know, it's like. They're just above average. They're just, they're just... They're not... They're not... A little bit of disposable income.

Oh, 800... No, we just want you to text them in. Yeah, text them in, 9696. What's the low-key sign someone isn't rich, but they're doing all right? Bree and Clint. This has absolutely blown up. It has gone berserk.

We're asking the question... You can tell that we're in a cost of living crisis. 100%. But people understand what we're talking about because we've asked you the question, what is the low-key sign that someone isn't rich but they're just above average? They're doing okay. They're doing okay but they're not rich. People who buy extra sides off the Hell Pizza menu.

Oh, hell yeah. The extra sides off the Hell Pizza menu. Oh, hell yeah. The extra sides. We're getting a lot, a lot to do with petrol. And the overarching one is people who go in and push the fill button at the petrol station. People who fill their car up all the way. And don't have to look at different prices from different places as well. Oh, that's my favourite one.

People who fill up at the nearest gas station, not the cheapest gas station. I, because I, we've written our own for these and a lot of the texts coming in are the same because I wrote one where I was like, you alternate weeks filling up with E10 to E95. No, what are the different? 91 and 95.

I don't even know what the other one's called because I'm always 91. I put down you don't lift up the hose to get those last little drips out of the thing before you hang the petrol nozzle back up. I do that 100%. You've got to get every last drop. Someone else, there's so many coming through. Someone else said our family calls the plumbed fridge a success fridge.

A success fridge. I like that. How to tell when someone's doing okay they have a gas fireplace, not a real fireplace. Really? Is that okay? People who buy cucumbers, amen. I went to the supermarket last night, $6 for one cucumber.

Yeah. And the cucumber. Yeah. Look, I'll be honest, cucumbers are pretty average. Yeah, but Chippy's going to take the GST off them, so it's all good. Hope it's soon. We're all good. What else we got here?

Sorry, these are flowing in so fast we can't even keep up with them. Let's go through some of the ones we wrote down before the text started coming through. I said you're able to buy food at an airport. Oh. Is on my list of when you're doing all right but you're not rich. You're able to pack your own snacks for the airport. Yep. You've got Spotify without ads. Yeah, Spotify premium.

Your own Spotify premium. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Either Spotify without ads or one that you're not on a family plan for. 100%. You have more than one streaming service. That's when you're doing all right. Yeah. You just get avocado.

If there's avocado as an option, you get avocado. I said signs that you're not rich, but you're just above average. When you're able to order the wine just up from the house wine. So you don't have to get the house wine. You can get the one that's just a little bit better. You go to the restaurant and you don't automatically say just the house wine, please. Yeah. Yeah.

This one's incredibly specific. They have a Reformer Pilates membership. Oh, yeah. Anyone that's been to Reformer Pilates will know. Like, any time that I've been there, I just feel so out of place because everyone looks so put together and rich. How do you know someone's doing okay? They're in Europe right now.

Oh, yeah. Yeah. Well, they had all COVID to save for that, so, you know. Someone else said you can go out for brunch casually on a Sunday. Amen. Yeah. Yeah. Well, they had all COVID to save for that, so you know. Someone else said you can go out for brunch casually on a Sunday. Amen. Yeah. Oh, they're still smoking cigarettes. Oh.

Mate, where are you getting the money for those? I feel like, yeah. Someone said buying a, oh, this is such a good one, buying a full year's rego for the car rather than every three months. I love that one. I remember when I tipped over to full year because someone said if you buy the full year, then it doesn't matter if they put the price up within the year. Then you've got it at the cheaper price.

Yeah. But you've got to be able to do it first. How do you know they're doing all right? They've got a robot vacuum cleaner. Best decision I ever made. Can I just say, though, we got ours on special and it was the same price as a normal vacuum cleaner. Yeah, now you've got a robot slave. Someone else said sign someone's doing all right.

You can greet your friends at the airport because you can park and go in. Oh, you don't just circle the airport for 15 minutes. Yeah. How do you know someone's doing okay? They have a reversing camera in their car? That's good. Someone else said where they don't use supermarket shampoo and conditioner. Oh.

You get very good shampoo and conditioner from the supermarket these days. I feel like, though, you can tell so much from someone's shower. Like when I get into someone's shower and I look around at the products in someone's shower, I can tell you exactly how much they're on, like how much their salary is. You can tell from the products in their shower? 100% I could. Like their face wash and their shampoo and conditioner.

How do you know someone's doing okay? They buy the 1kg block of cheese? You know, I posted one time where I was eating cheese and someone was like, you can buy the red tasty cheese. You must be doing all right. Tasty cheese. Why do they charge so much more for tasty cheese? How do you know someone's doing all right?

They have two or more parking spaces in front of their home. That's such a good one. That is such a good one. Someone else said they can afford to run their V8 car every day. God, you must be doing all right. Cashed up bogans. I feel like that's rich. Bree and Clint. Bree and Clint. I feel like that's rich.

Bree and Clint. Bree and Clint. All I want for my birthday is a birthday banger. Alright, let's tear into your birthday bangers for a Tuesday. The number one songs on your sweet 16s and we'll kick it off with Hayley. G'day, mate. Hi there. How's your day been, Hayley? Oh, it's been

alright. Not too bad. What have you been up to? Oh, just uni work. Oh, yeah? Have you actually been doing uni work or have you been procrastinating, Hayley? I've actually just been trying to win Taylor Swift tickets. Yes, Hayley. That's all we like to hear. Uni work can wait.

It can wait. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. All right. Well, while you're here, what's your birthday, Hayley? It was the 5th of March, Yeah. All right. Well, while you're here, what's your birthday, Hayley? It was the 5th of March, 2003. All right. That means you were 16 in 2019.

And Hayley, this is your birthday banger. Ariana Grande. This was huge. Are you an Ariana Grande fan, Hayley? Oh, I am. I think it's quite relevant to allegations right now, isn't it? Oh, please, go on. Yeah, what's the allegations?

It's not that she was, oh, I don't know. Well, we reported that she's dropped her manager, Scooter Braun. Yeah. Is that what you're referring to? No, I was talking about how she's dating the guy from Wicked. Oh, that's right. She broke up with her husband. Yeah.

Because she's doing Wicked on Broadway, right? She was photographed with the... No, she's doing Wicked the movie. Yeah, I think it's a movie. Yeah, yeah, yeah. She was photographed with one of her castmates at Wimbledon. Yeah, but he was married. Yeah, he was married.

And apparently it's all come out in the wash that the wife wasn't aware and that they were allegedly having an affair. Break up with your wife. Yeah, yeah, because I'm bored. Okay, all right. Promise. Good tea, Hayley. Wait there.

Let's do a birthday banger for Jade. Cue to Jade. G'day, Jade. Hi. What's been the best part of your day so far, Jade? Well, I can't say it was winning Taylor tickets, but

you might be able to tomorrow. Honestly, I have. I wish it was as easy as calling up a few minutes ago, but it's okay. I'll keep trying. Keep trying. There's plenty more chances, Jade, so we've got your back. We're hoping for you. But in the meantime, what's your birthday?

It's 4th of July, 1993. All right. That means you were 16 in 2009. And on your 16th birthday, this was at the top of the chart. Oh, it's a banger. It's a throwback. Stone cold banger from Cascada. Evacuate the Dance Floor.

Are you a yes or no, Jade? I'm a yes. That takes me back to my youth. Good. Me too. That was a great one. We're going to do one more for... Juanita?

Juanita. Hi, Juanita. Hi. G'day, mate. What's been the best part of your day? Probably finishing work. When did you finish? Just now?

No, just before three. Oh, perfect, mate. Well, let's get into your birthday banger. What's your date of birth? February 1994. All right. That means you were 16 in 2010. And, Juanita, here it is, your birthday banger.

Ayaz, replay, the one-hit wonder. Banger. You into it, Juanita? I am. My son's been singing it right now. Oh, yeah, nice. That's a great one. I remember we, at a past radio station I worked at,

we were meant to interview him. Yeah. And we were trying to call the number that we had and it wasn't picking up and it would go to voicemail and his voicemail was that song. Was it really? Yeah. He missed his big opportunity to have the interview.

No wonder his career's over. Oh mate, we tried hard. We called him five times. Cascada Evacuate the Dance Floor. 100%. Me too. Yeah? Yeah, 100%. Jade's got the vibes. Jade, you're the winner. Congratulations. Yay! We'll get this tune on for you, Jade. Good luck with the

Taylor Swift thingies tomorrow, mate. Thank you so much. All good. Bree and Clint. Bree and Clint. ZM Bree and Clint, that's the winner of Birthday Banger for Jade. It's from 2009. That's Cascada and Evacuate the Dance Floor.

That song reminds me of when nightclubs, you could still smoke inside. Oh. That's what that song reminds me of. It was gone in New Zealand by then. Oh, right. Australia, I think, was maybe a little bit later. I've never been in a nightclub where there was smoking allowed. It was honestly the worst.

Yeah. Because the whole room is just filled with smoke. And so, like, I never smoked. You don't need a smoke machine. I've never smoked. So you get home and you would just reek of cigarettes and you'd feel so sick because you're just breathing in secondhand smoke all night. Gross.

Terrible. Hey, I heard Fletchford and Hayley talking about this this morning, the topic of hot bedding when you rent out space in your bed. Oh, don't worry. I know what hot bedding is. No, but you don't because it's not what you're talking about. I rented out space in my bed for many years. Don't you worry about that.

Did you really? Yes, I did. Did you? Yeah. Well, not really renting because I let them stay for free. Yeah, so that's not hot bedding. That's just letting people sleep in your bed, okay? Oh, different.

The definition of hot bedding is sharing a bed with someone that you're not in a relationship with and you sleep in that bed sometimes together, sometimes in shifts. Like you get the morning shift, they get the night shift. And the idea is that you do that to split the cost of the accommodation. That's hotbedding.

In all seriousness, how bad is this cost of living crisis getting? Because that sounds ridiculous. Well, it's in the news at the moment because there's a woman in the Gold Coast who has talked about how she hotbeds with her ex-boyfriend. Oh, see, that's a little bit different. It's not a stranger. No.

Like it's someone that you know at least. Some of the stranger dynamics would be the night-day situation. So you go, I work daytimes and I sleep in the bed at nighttimes. So you would hotbed with someone who works nighttimes. No one is doing that. Yes, they are. No one is doing that. No one, can I say, can you imagine the person coming home?

Imagine if they're strangers and they're like, okay, someone has just slept in that bed and I'm going to get in those sheets. Well, you have to have a system, don't you? No one is doing that. This lady from the Gold Coast, her boyfriend is a FIFO worker, fly in, fly out. Okay.

He splits his time between Melbourne and the Gold Coast. They've been broken up for ages. They've been hotbedding for three years, but prior to that, they dated for seven years. But how long have they been broken up for ages. They've been hotbedding for three years. But prior to that, they dated for seven years. But how long have they been broken up? Three years. Three years. And they've been hotbedding the whole time.

I wonder how much she charges. Yeah. And they're obviously still really good friends and the breakup was a good breakup or else she would not be doing that. Yeah. I'd love to know how much she's charging him. She's adamant that it's not sexual, it's purely business.

Yeah, I can understand that. There are ground rules to make hotbedding work for them. Anyone who uses the bed makes the bed. That's part of the rules. Anyone who what? Uses the bed makes the bed. Okay. Anyone, you have to keep the place tidy.

That's one of the rules. Yeah. And no rumpy-pumpy during the duration of the agreement. Okay. What, between them or if you bring someone else home for the hotbed? Oh, my God, that's an even better question. I'm not sure. I assumed between those two, but that must mean in general.

Yeah. Like none of that in the bed at all if you're hotbedding, if you're renting a hotbed from someone? Yeah, look, I agree it's a weird situation, hotbedding. It's too far. But also this dynamic of her sharing a bed with her ex is also a weird situation. Take the renting space out to somebody out of it.

Just having someone that you're no longer in a relationship with still sleeping in your bed. What if she gets into another relationship? Correct. I feel like that will be hindering her from finding someone else. Well, it means she can't bring the new guy home to the bed. Imagine if we go on a date together, you and I, we go out on a date and one of the things I say to you is, oh yeah, I rent my bed out to my ex sometimes.

You're like, I'm like, should we go back to your place? And you're like, yeah, I just have to check with my ex who still sleeps in my bed. Yeah. Like he's there on and off. Like don't get me wrong. He pays me. He pays me. What would you be happy with?

Like how much money would you be happy with if you were her in her situation? So it's a one bedroom apartment. Okay. It's quite a nice apartment too, she's in. Half the rent, I'd be fine with. Because I mean, it's not like he's just using the bed. He's using. Everything.

Everything. Yeah, yeah. Half. Everything else. Half the rent. While he's there. It has to be half the rent, doesn't it? It's half.

Yeah. 100% it's half. And then good to go. Then it's a sweet ass relationship. That makes everything completely fine. We're going to ask this question this afternoon. How long did you live with your ex after you guys broke up? This would have happened a bit during lockdown,

but not just because of lockdown. It would have happened because of bond arrangements and all kinds of situations. Someone, a couple of people have texted through actually saying there's a TV show on TVNZ On Demand where people share an apartment and do a day and night swap over. Yeah, wow. So hotbedding.

It's literally about hotbedding. It is hotbedding, yeah. Yeah. And you may have your diary so strict you never see the other person and you just treat it like it is your place. I saw literally this morning this article which was talking about this room that someone was trying to rent in Melbourne. So they have the flat, the full flat, and they were renting a room

and it's got two single beds in the room and you rent one of the single beds. No, thank you. Do you know how much they were charging? How much? $260 a week for one of the single beds. No, thank you. You know how much they were charging? How much? $260 a week for one of the single beds. So you share a room with someone else. Like Bert and Ernie. Yes, like Bert and Ernie. What a joke. Oh, $800 a day. This is the question. It's very specific. Did you continue to live with an ex after you guys broke up? How long after? How long after? And did you guys continue sharing a bed or not?

Bree and Clint. Someone said, I only lasted one week living with my ex. He also didn't believe me when I said I was going to move out. He was super confused when he came home on the Saturday afternoon and my dad was there helping me with furniture. He's like, what do you mean? What are you doing? You're like, I've told you. We broke up. He's like, what do you mean? What are you doing? You're like, I've told you.

Bro, we broke up. He's like, did we? Oh, I thought you were just in a mood. This person wants to be anonymous. Hi, anonymous. Hi, anonymous. Hi. You keep living with your ex for a bit?

Yeah. So my, well, I guess now my ex-husband and I broke up in September last year. And so we stayed living together because I still needed to find a place. And he's not mean enough to throw me out. Yeah. And it was, you know, a mutual decision. So I lived there for about two to three months and then found a place and moved up the street, 10 minutes walk.

Oh, okay. Oh, so you still live 10 minutes walk from each other. So obviously your relationship is still a good one then, anonymous. Yeah, yeah. It's been coming up to a year now, but we have a five-year-old together. Yeah. So you guys have to make it work. Yeah, that's more important.

Yeah. So it's a great relationship and it works and I think it should be more normalised, you know. Okay. Okay, that's good perspective. Thank you, Anonymous. We appreciate it. I understand what you're saying. Yeah, someone on the text machine said,

hey guys, shared a flat and a bed with my ex-partner for eight weeks after we broke up. So not long really. He was from the UK, so it was hard to get a flight home, which ended up being the day the borders closed in March 2020. He managed to just get out of the nick of time. Oh my God. I wonder if you guys would have ended up back together if he didn't get out of the country. You say not a long time. Eight weeks in the same bed as someone that you've

decided is not right for you is quite a long time. If it's in the same bed, then yeah, it is a long time. Eight weeks in the same bed as someone that you've decided is not right for you is quite a long time. If it's in the same bed, then yeah, it is a bit awkward. Someone said, I shared a house with my ex-husband for six months after our marriage broke up. Definitely not sharing beds. We had separate rooms even. Took time to sort separation and homeowners and buying a new house and homeownership and buying a new house. Yeah, fair enough. Six months.

Six months is a long time. But when you've been married to someone, if you've been married for a long time, there's a lot of stuff to work out. Yeah, it'd probably be quite a nice way of separating. You know, you can slowly pick the thing apart and figure out how it's going to work rather than just wham! Well, hopefully you can kind of, you know, become friends over that time.

Yeah. But I don't think it always works out that way. Jaden's here. Hey, Jaden. Hi, Jaden. Hey, how's it going? Did you live with an ex for a bit? I still currently am, yeah.

Are you? Okay. How long have you guys been broken up? We've been broken up for four months. Okay. And how long were you together? Four years. Oh, wow, Jaden. So, and how long were you together? Four years.

Oh, wow, Jaden. So how come you're still living together? Well, at the end of the day, she's still my best friend. Yeah, like she's been with me through everything. So it was obviously a good breakup. I mean, not a good breakup, but, you know, an amicable breakup. Yeah, no. But an amicable one. Do you have. Yeah. But an amicable one.

Do you have plans to move out? Oh, yeah. So our lease ends in the start of January. Okay. In January. Okay, so you're seeing the lease out. Yeah. Yeah.

Jaden? It's still part of, like, my friend group, like, my real-time friends. So, yeah. Oh, that's real sweet, Jaden. It says a lot about both of you that you can still be that close. You're not sharing a bed still, though, Jaden. No, no, we're not sharing a bed. Yeah, sweet.

That's all good. Yeah. Thanks, Jaden. We appreciate it. This last person wants to be anonymous. Hi, anonymous. Hi. Are you still living with your ex?

Well, I am, actually. Okay. Second time round. Second time round, anonymous. What's the deal? Well, we separated 12 years ago. Okay. And because the kids were really young, I stayed, well, we stayed living in the family

home until they were a bit older and I built a house close by. Okay. So we moved out. Everything's kosher. I met a new partner. And now we have a five-year-old wee boy. Okay, with a new partner. New partner.

So we've got a really great, I suppose some people would call it unusual, but we've got a really great family unit. I suppose all seven of us. Oh, that's nice. And we happen to sell our house. We put it on market thinking it was going to take forever while we built, and then it sold really quickly. You've moved back in with your ex-husband. Stop it.

Is that what's happened? That is what's happening, but there's more. There's more? Oh, my God. We're living on the property, but we are living in his caravan. Wait, wait, wait. Are you and your new partner... Living with her old partner.

Living with your old partner. Yes, my ex-husband. Oh, my God. This is the weirdest throuple I've ever heard. Does your ex-husband have a new partner? Not at the moment. Okay. Right.

Interesting. Wow. Sometimes they're interesting, but I suppose for us... No, it makes sense. It makes total sense. It just takes a very mature relationship to be able to pull something like that off, I imagine. Takes certain type of people, yeah.

Oh, 100%. I definitely sort of think, well, we are the minority, but in the beginning, we just made it all about the kids. Yeah. And we've kind of built a new foundation off that, and now we're like best friends. Oh, good on you. I wish that wasn't the minority anonymous.

I think it says a lot about you and your ex-husband, like how close you guys are. And my new partner, I think. And your new partner. And your new partner, absolutely. Yeah, because some new partners would not be about that, you know. They'd be jealous and be like, why are you so close? Three parents is the dream. There's always someone to look after the kids.

Yeah. Well, yeah. No, there is. And then when he gets a new partner, you can all just buy one massive house and live under the same roof. It'll be great. Yeah, it's going to be pretty weird when we move out.

Yeah, I reckon. Okay, that's a great story, Anonymous. Thanks, Anonymous. No worries. Thanks, guys. We appreciate it. The complete opposite of that, someone's a great story, Anonymous. Thanks, Anonymous. No worries. Thanks, guys. We appreciate it. The complete opposite of that. Someone's texted and said, I dated a guy who was boarding with his ex.

There were no sleepovers. Wait, they were dating someone who was still boarding with their ex? Yes. They were paying board to stay in their ex's house. See, I don't know. How would you feel about that? You go on a date and they're like, would you rather them living at home with their parents or with their ex's house. See, I don't know. How would you feel about that? You go on a date and they're like, would you rather them living at home with their parents

or with their ex? I think with their parents. Play ZM's Brand Clint on Insta, Facebook, TikTok, and live weekdays from 3 on ZM. Feed by KFC. Get the full menu delivered to your door with the KFC app.
