The ZM Podcast Network.
G'day everybody, welcome to the show. It's Brie and Clint, right on time. Not 15 seconds late. Definitely right on time. We are good to go.
G'day, guys.
How are we?
Good.
It's not a good day for me.
Why not?
Because today was the day where I'm breaking in a new mascara.
Oh, okay.
And the ladies will hear me and some fellas will hear me.
It takes a while to break in a mascara.
Why?
To get it really pumping out of the tube properly?
Nah, just sometimes it's too liquidy
and then like towards the end of the life of a mascara
it gets too clunky.
Oh, okay.
Clumpy.
Yeah, yeah.
And then so like there's always,
there's this perfect window right in the middle
where it just works perfectly.
Kind of like tomato sauce
when you get a bit of that water at the top.
You just have to shake it before you use it.
Why don't you give your mascara a shake then?
It's not that funny.
Is it?
Don't say I didn't take an interest.
No, I appreciate you taking an interest.
If anyone's got a half-used mascara that
Brie could have. Yeah, that would be great.
Also, why is your
plan
just to shake everything to fix it?
Yeah, I don't know. You need to stop shaking things.
Shake it or blow on it.
That's buggered.
Please don't blow on me.
Or shake me for that matter.
I'm not trying to fix you.
Well, I need fixing.
Coldplay, where are you?
Yeah.
They're coming to New Zealand.
Okay, today on the show, there is heaps going on.

Still anyone's game at the end of the day.
The ladies on 104, the tradies on 99.
Let's go to our lady first.
She's calling from Auckland.
She is 24 and she is fluent in sign language.
Welcome to the show, Alicia.
Hi, Alicia.
Hello.
How come you're fluent in sign language?
I don't know.
I just wanted to learn it.
So you didn't grow up with like, you know, a brother or a sister or a parent that was deaf. I just wanted to learn it. So you didn't grow up with like, you know, a brother
or a sister or a parent that was
deaf. You just wanted to learn.
Yeah. That's amazing
Alicia. How long did it take
you? A couple
of years, like three or four.
Wow, that's so impressive. You would
have been able to watch all those COVID lockdown
announcements on mute with the sign language
person on the screen, wouldn't you? Yeah, it was
pretty entertaining. Good on you,
Alicia. That's very cool. You're taking on our
tradies today from North Canterbury. They're 16
years old and they want to
enjoy the summer, don't we all? Welcome

A dominant lady victory.
Congratulations, Alicia.
You've got 50 bucks cash coming your way thanks to KFC.
Thank you.
Smart cookie, that Alicia, isn't she?
Ladies pushing their lead back out.
105 to 99.
There's not long left in the year.
Not many weeks to go.
Maybe 17 more games?
Maybe.
I wonder if that's right.
I think I am right, yeah.
That was quick math from you.
One of my friends I saw online gave birth to her first baby last week.
Oh, nice.
And I've been waiting to catch up with her, give her a call,
see how she's doing.
Yeah.
Because the post that I saw online,
she was talking about how it was quite an ordeal
because the labour went on and on and on.
And when I say on and on and on, how long do you think this friend
of mine was in labour?
They can go for days, these labours.
I don't know.
How long?
My friend was in labour for six days.
Oh.
Six days. Oh. Six days.
Oh.
And I said, are you joking?
I thought she was joking because I was like, surely that's not a real thing.
Yeah.
She was like, yeah, it is.
And obviously I'm going to believe the woman that's just given birth.
That's outrageous.
Yeah.
Like to go through six
days of that? Yeah. Like how
exhausted would you be
like mentally and physically?
Like I can't even imagine. I watched
Lucy do 36
hours with our first child and that was
enough. Like that was more than enough.
Because you're just exhausted. Your body doesn't get a break.
Every 10 minutes it's like
ahhh! Yeah, it's like you're doing a poo every 10 doesn't get a break. Every 10 minutes it's like ahhh!
It's like you're doing a poo every 10 minutes.
Pretty intense poo.
You haven't been there for some of my poos. I googled
what is the world
record for the longest labour?
Is she up there?
Producers, Clint, do you guys
want to have a guess at what is the
world record for the longest recorded labour on record?
Six days.
I'd hate for it to go on for longer than a week.
I'm going to go, but it's got to be a world record.
I'm going to go with 10 days for the world's longest.
10 days?
Yeah.
I'll say nine days.
I'll go 14.
14?
Two weeks?
Yeah.
The record is held by a woman named Joanna,
and she was in labour for 75 days.
What?
75 days?
After 75 days and what is believed to be the longest labour ever recorded,
Joanna gave birth to a healthy girl and a healthy boy.
The two babies were delivered by caesarean at a neonatal clinic in Poland.
On day 75, they're like, we're going to do the Caesarean.
Day 75.
Do that on day three.
Well, the babies obviously weren't developed enough.
Oh, okay.
So they had to keep them in there.
That's outrageous.
Wait, 75 days.
That's like two and a half months. Yeah. Two and a half months. Wait, 75 days. That's like two and a half months.
Yeah.
Two and a half months.
Oh, thank you.
God, that story right there is contraception.
That's now until Christmas and then past New Year.
And then it's like having your babies on Valentine's Day.
Honestly, that woman there deserves a medal or something.
A lie down.
Like she deserves anything that that woman wants,
she deserves.
Can you imagine being her partner?
I'll take the kids today.
You're like, yeah, you think?
I'll take the kids for the next 75 days.
I think you should take them for the next two and a half months.
I thought we could ask people, put it out there at 0800DIALZM,
how long was the labour?
Maybe it was you, maybe it was someone you know,
maybe it was your mum.
With your partner.
But was the labour really long?
Yeah.
Can you beat 75 days?
Well, no one, that's the world record.
Oh, okay.
Can you beat six days?
Well, we'll take anything.
No, we won't take anything.
We won't take...
No, I'll take what I can get.
We won't take anything less than a day.
We're ready.
You know?
Yeah, true.
Nothing regular.
Brian Clint.
A friend of mine just had her first baby.
Very exciting.
Called her up to see how she's going.
Being a new mum.
And she said to me, yeah, things are good.
Apart from the fact that I was in labour for six days.
Did you ask her how many of those days she was in the hospital?
Because they don't let you come in
until you're at a certain point.
She said to me, she's like, I truly
thought about divorcing my husband.
Yeah. On the fifth day
I thought about
on the fifth day I regained
some of my strength and I thought I'm going to
divorce this guy. Wow, that's long enough.
She could have done the paperwork.
You put this inside me.
Can you imagine five days in, six days in, you're like, I'm ready.
So where's the long ones?
Where's the long labours?
Ellie's called up.
Hi, Ellie.
Hi, Ellie.
Hi.
How long was your labour, Ellie?
My labour was 44 hours.
44 hours.
So nearly two days.
Yeah, basically two days.
Was that your first pregnancy, second, third?
It was my first.
Oh, no, Ellie.
Did it turn you off having another one?
Well, no.
The second one came along in less than five.
Oh, perfect.
That's the way it goes, eh?
Those first ones are really sticky.
You know why, Ellie?
Yeah, definitely.
Because you deserved a five-hour
labour on the second go after
44 hours. Yeah.
Thank you. Yeah, it felt
really well-deserved. Okay, well, congratulations
and well done.
Thank you. Well done, you, Ellie. Nice
work. Let's go to
Sianay on 0800 dials at M.
Hi, Sianay. Hi, Sianay. G'day,
guys. How are ya? Good, mate.
How are you going?
Yeah, not bad, thanks.
You had a really short labour, I understand, Sianae.
It was my mum.
So with me.
Okay.
Yeah, sorry.
It was only with me.
So an hour and 15 minutes to get me out for her.
Jeez, were you on a slippery dip or something, Sianae?
I have no idea. But, yeah, so as I said on the text,
I sort of hope genetically that might be passed down to me.
Oh, I hope so.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I hope so for you.
What number baby were you?
I was number two.
Yeah, classic number two.
If you time it, if you time it that you do around the Black Friday sales,
I've heard that it speeds up the labour
because babies want to get out to get the deals.
Oh, yeah?
Yeah.
Is that right?
Well, good news for anyone who's reaching full term this week.
They're like, sweet.
Start pushing.
By tomorrow, it'll be here.
Uncross your legs and start pushing.
Thanks for calling, Sinead.
Someone texted through and said 98 hours.
98 hours, yeah.
So how many days is that?
What's 48 and 48?
Is that four days?
48 and 48.
Yeah, it's about four days.
I don't know.
All right, let's figure this out.
48 and 48 is 96.
No.
Are you sure?
No.
Yes.
Yeah, because 8 and 8 is 16.
Yeah, 96.
So that's four days and two hours.
Four days and two hours.
That person will not be happy with four days.
Four days and two hours.
Don't forget the two hours.
Rochelle's here.
Hi, Rochelle.
Hi, Rochelle.
Hi, how are you?
Good, thanks.
You had a labour of four days as well, Rochelle.
Yeah, so 96 hours, four days of active labour.
Oh, Rochelle. I can hear the kid in the background too labour. Oh, Rochelle.
I can hear the kid in the background too.
Rochelle.
Fourth child, actually.
Oh, fourth.
What were some of the thoughts that were going through your head
when you were like that deep into labour?
Well, it was my first child.
I had no idea what was going on, why it was taking so long or anything.
I ended up having to have oxytocin to speed things up.
Oh, man.
Because four days is a bit ridiculous.
Yeah, it's a bit ridiculous.
And I had to drill because I hadn't had any rest at all.
So that helped a wee bit.
God, you poor thing, Rochelle.
And how did you go with your other babies?
Were they quick?
My second pregnancy was twins, so I had a Caesar.
Oh, God, Rochelle. so I had a Caesar. Oh, God, Rochelle.
So I had a Caesar.
Yeah.
You never take the easy way, do you?
What was that?
Sorry?
Oh, no, it's all good.
Well done, Rochelle.
We shouldn't create this illusion that the second child was faster,
because a lot of the times it is, but someone just texted in and said,
my first labour was 33 hours.
Everyone said the second one would be way quicker.
The second one was 33 hours. Everyone said the second one would be way quicker.
The second one was 65 hours.
60, oh my, can you imagine?
She would have just been laying there going,
the first one would have been out by now.
The first one would have been out 10 hours ago.
Yeah, so everybody listening right now,
if you're not ready to go through that, use protection.
That's what you got to do. I just got gotta read this one text because it's very funny
did you see it?
no
someone texts through
and they said
I was in labour
for three days
and my partner
comes up to me
mid labour
and says
no offence
but this is kind of boring
RIP to that guy
RIP to that guy
he's now dead
yeah yeah
he's like
can I go play golf
you're like
yeah never come back you can go you can go play golf? You're like, yeah, never come back.
You can go.
You can go play golf in America and never see you again.
Bye-bye.
News out this week that the phone call is dead.
No, thanks.
Just text me.
I can't be bothered.
Stop calling me.
People's aversion to using their phone to call people,
use the phone for actually what it was made for,
to make phone calls,
is so strong now that a British organisation
has issued an etiquette guide
to help people of every age navigate the humble phone call.
I don't mind a phone call.
Me neither.
Don't mind it, especially if I'm in the car.
Oh, yeah.
And people hate that. One of my friends said to me one time, she goes, are you in the car. Oh, yeah. And people hate that.
One of my friends said to me one time,
she goes, are you in the car?
She goes, the only time you call me
is when you're in the car
so I can entertain you when you're driving.
I'm guilty of that too.
Yeah, I love calling people when I'm in the car.
But it's my phone calling time.
Yeah, I love it.
Don't answer if you're busy.
I'll understand.
But then I'll...
I'll try again the next time I'm in the car.
Yeah, I'll just call you on my way back
I call my mum all the time in the car.
We have some good chats.
One of the phone call etiquette guide tips is
remember that some people,
especially if they are young,
can find unexpected phone calls alarming.
They suggest that you should text somebody
before you call.
Oh God, that's so annoying.
And I know people do do that
but I hate that.
They text me like, can I call? I'm like, oh my God, now I'm more stressed out about the phone call. Just call, that's so annoying. And I know people do do that, but I hate that. They text me like, can I call?
I'm like, oh my God, now I'm more stressed out about the phone call.
Just call me.
Just call me.
You're obviously going to call anyway.
What am I going to say?
No, just text me whatever you're going to say.
But people are not calling.
In the UK, they've got data because they can see how many phone minutes
are being used.
In 2008, which was one of the last years that everybody had a cell phone and a landline.
Okay.
After that, everyone was like,
I don't need this landline.
Yeah, why am I keeping this?
Why am I paying for this?
In 2008, in the UK,
there were 258 billion minutes of phone calls.
Right.
Last year, it was down to 202 billion.
That's 56 billion less minutes of people actually talking to each other.
Wait, say again.
So what was 2008?
2008 was 258 billion minutes.
And last year was 202 billion minutes.
Oh, yeah.
Still pretty high.
It's, what?
It's gone down by 20% in one generation.
Yeah, but I mean, that was 2008.
That was the time.
Yeah.
Of the phone calls.
Yeah.
You know, that was the peak primo time.
Yeah, yeah, that was.
Apart from it did cost quite a lot to call people.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Unless you were calling them in that, you know, the special hour that some of those
telecom companies gave you.
Or on your 100 free minutes that you got with your prepay plan.
I do not miss, like, having to buy credit for my phone.
No.
Do you remember those days?
You have to go down to the news agency or the supermarket.
Actually buy the card.
And then they print.
No, I'm talking even older when they printed out the docket.
They print out this long docket.
You have to put all the numbers in.
So you like a phone call.
I like a phone call.
Claudia, just snap hole around the room.
If we call you, are you going to answer?
For work, yes.
For personal, no. Really? You'll answer the boss but not your friends. Yeah.
There's a lot about you. My boss pays me.
Because my boss
pays me. So you're not calling if we
You're not answering. You're not answering.
For you guys, I probably would.
Yeah, only because you see us as work. But I'll be like
Oh, do I have to? Oh, here we go. Nah, only because you see us as work. But I'll be like, oh, do I have to?
Oh, here we go.
No, I'm going to ignore this one, actually.
That's me!
I'm calling you!
I want to talk about a cool grandma that was spotted over in the UK
getting down at a 50 Cent concert.
That's right, the 64-year-old grandmother
by the name of Mary Jane Farquharson.
No, what?
Yes, her name.
Sorry, can I get that name again?
Mary Jane.
Yeah.
Which is another name for Farquharson.
Like Lord Farquharson.
Farquharson.
Farquharson. Hold on. Farquitson. Farquitson.
Far...
Hold on.
Farquaharson.
Farquaharson.
I don't know if you can say that on radio.
Farquaharson.
Farquaharson.
That's it.
Wait, one more time.
Are we making it better or worse?
Can we just call her Mary Jane?
Mary Jane Farquaharson.
No, it's much worse.
That's her name.
Guys, we're not making fun of this poor woman's name.
Actually, she, by the looks of it.
It's not that you're making fun of it.
I just think it's...
Why?
Why?
Tell me why.
Because it sounds like you're saying something else.
Guess what?
Guess what?
If someone makes a complaint, they got no leg to stand on.
I read the rules.
It's a last name.
I'm trying to pronounce it to the best of my ability.
It's all about intention.
We didn't intend that to be bad.
Farqua Hassan said that she was having the best time ever at the 50 Cent Show.
Her favourite song was Ayo Technology.
She's so cute.
She's what, 64?
64.
Yeah, she's going for it.
And apparently 50 Cent
re-shared this video of her
because he loved it so much.
My parents are in their 60s.
She looks more like she's in their 60s. She looks more
like she's in her 80s. I reckon she's lying about her age.
I reckon she's 84.
Which makes it even cooler.
She's the late 70s.
Yeah, late 70s, 80s.
Yeah. But she's still
having a good time. She's bouncing.
She's bopping. She's bouncing.
It made me
ask the question.
I was like, I love hearing about people that where their age
or their demographic might not necessarily coincide
with who you think would be their favourite musician.
Yeah.
Like, Producer Claude, you and I were at the Post Malone show last night.
I saw some mature people getting down to some Post Malone last night.
How mature?
I'd say 60s.
Yeah, I feel like the ones I saw were mid-60s.
And then you always think you're like, did they come with their kids or like, are they
big fans?
And this one woman who looks so cool, She had the full Post Malone kit on.
Yeah.
And she knew every word.
Cool.
And it was awesome.
If you think about Mary Jane Fakwahasem,
if she's 64, 50 Cent came out 20 years ago.
So there's a chance that 44, she was, you know.
Yeah.
She's just cruising.
She's just a cool mum.
Yeah, she's just, and then she's just stuck with it.
She's like, finally, I get to see 50 Cent. Maybe that just a cool mum. Yeah, she's just, she was just a, and then she's just stuck with it.
She's like,
finally I get to see 50 Cent.
Maybe that's how it happens.
Yeah.
Well, maybe she's just full G unit and that's what they listen to
in the rest home.
I don't know.
Who knows?
What do you mean rest home?
She's 64.
What am I saying?
She just looks older.
She looks older.
Yeah, if you've seen the video,
she looks older than 64.
Yeah.
You reckon she lied about her age?
Yeah, I definitely do.
Yeah, I think so.
She looks like Mrs. Claws. But I mean, then she probably would have lied about her age? Yeah, I definitely do. Yeah, I think so. She looks like Mrs. Claus.
But I mean, then she probably would have lied about that horrible last name.
Do you reckon she's trolling us?
Media's like, what's your name?
I think she smoked a bit of Mary Jane and then goes,
guys, I'm going to tell everyone my last name's Farquhar Harsin.
Hey, I thought we could put it out there this afternoon.
I'm very interested in this one.
I really want people to call
if your age doesn't necessarily match
your favourite musician.
Like when you say to someone
my favourite band is
such and such
and people are like, really?
This works both ways.
You could be in your 50s, 60s
and your favourite artist is Olivia Rodrigo.
Or you could be 19 and you love Credence Clearwater Revival.
I love that band.
Yeah, but you're old enough to like them.
Oh, excuse you.
Excuse you, Farqua Harsin.
64-year-old grandma Mary Jane Farquharson
has been posted on 50 Cent's social media
absolutely bopping at one of his concerts.
She's front row on the balcony.
She's got the moves too.
Yeah, she's sending it.
Everyone is falling in love with her, being like, yes.
Everybody wants to be that cool when they're that old.
Absolutely.
Yeah.
So we're asking you, does your age not really go with your favourite artist?
Maggie's here.
Hi, Maggie.
Hi, Maggie.
Hi.
How old are you, first of all?
I'm 25.
Okay, 25.
And what's your favourite musician?
My favourite artist is Leonard Cohen.
Really?
Yes, I took it to a concert when I was like 18 years old
and I was so excited.
It was going to be my first concert.
And then he died.
So I got a tattoo inspired by him.
Wait, he died before you got to see him?
Yeah, literally just before.
Maggie, that's the problem with liking older artists.
You're young enough, though, that you'll be alive for them to do, like,
an AI Leonard Cohen and you can go and see him at, like,
a virtual Coachella or something.
Yeah.
Or at least, like, Doja is my second favourite artist.
Doja Cat, yeah.
Really?
Okay, they're very different. Leonard Cohen and Doja Cat. So different. Speaking of Doja Cat, yeah. Really? Okay, they're very different.
Leonard Cohen and Doja Cat.
So different.
Speaking of Doja Cat, someone said on the text machine,
I'm 60 and funnily enough, one of my favourite artists is Doja Cat.
Really?
So I love Ariana Grande and Post Malone.
I listen to you guys all day, every day.
Cheers, Mark.
Love it.
Doja Cat is one of my favourites too. She's so unique. Chris is here. Hi, Chris. G'day, Mark. Love it. Love that. Doja Cat is one of my favourites too.
She's so unique.
Chris is here.
Hi, Chris.
G'day, Chris.
How are you guys?
Good, thanks.
Is it you, Chris, where your age doesn't really go with your favourite artist?
Well, it depends on who you are.
Okay.
Me and some of my friends, we'll sort of go with the artists.
How old are you, Chris?
What's your age?
63.
63.
And who are you listening to, Chris?
I listen to a variety of music.
I mean, yours is the only mainstream station I listen to
and I can't get an EDM station I listen to all the time.
But I follow Dan Oxley away, actually,
so when I can't get my other station, I get you guys.
Yes!
Well, welcome aboard, Chris.
We're glad to have you.
Okay, Dan Ox, bad in your 60s.
That's perfect.
Someone texted through and they said,
Hi, Bree and Clint, my name's John.
I'm 12 and I love Eminem.
Oh, what did you say, 12?
12.
12.
Yes.
I also love this text.
My daughter is 15 years old and loves System of the Down.
Like has T-shirts and her playlists are full of their music.
Not exactly the first artist you'd expect a teenage girl to listen to.
System of the Down.
It's very angsty, though.
It's very teenage music.
It's just...
Where do you find it? It's not on the radio or anything anymore's very angsty, though. It's very teenage music. It's just... Where do you find it?
It's not on the radio or anything anymore.
Spotify.
Yeah, true.
Let's go to Brad on the 800 dials at M.
Hi, Brad.
Hi, Brad.
Hey, guys.
How are you going?
Good, thanks.
Tell us, Brad, how old are you and what's your favourite?
So it's actually my daughter.
Okay.
She is four years old and her favourite song is Mamma Mia.
Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah.
Abba spans many generations and will continue to span many generations.
That's so cool, Brad.
How sick have you got a four-year-old, Brad?
I've got a four-year-old as well.
How sick are you of listening to Mamma Mia now?
Yeah, thanks, take care.
Thanks, take care.
Have you tried to get her into any more Abba or is it just Mamma Mia now. Yeah, thanks, take care. Thanks, take care. Have you tried to get her into any more ABBA or is it just Mamma Mia?
No, that's the one on rotation.
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, more to lose coming, don't worry Brad.
Awesome. This is probably my favourite text
so far. Someone said, my husband is 53
years old and he's a straight man. His favourite artist
at the moment is Troye Sivan. He loves that song Rush.
Yes, I love that guy.
One more. Janine's here. Hi, Janine.
Hi, Janine.
Hi.
Hi, how are you?
We're good, Janine. First of all, sorry to ask, but how old are you?
I'm 49.
49. And who is your favourite artist at the moment, Janine. First of all, sorry to ask, but how old are you? I'm 49.
49.
And who is your favourite artist at the moment, Janine?
Taylor Swift.
There it is.
She spans all generations.
Love, love, love her.
49, you're definitely young enough to be a Taylor Swift fan, though.
Yeah, for sure.
I think I am.
100%. Janine, are you going to see her?
No, I can't afford it
but I did see her movie
concert and I was just like, almost
cried. It was amazing.
Janine, are you the one that...
I got her lyrics tattooed
on my arm. No!
When? Recently?
Yeah, last week.
What lyrics can I ask?
I'm interested to know which one you plucked out of all the amazing lyrics.
I got one of the, I got her chorus from All Too Well.
I love that song.
God, that would have been a big back piece.
That's a 10-minute song.
No, no, I just picked out a few lines.
I don't have that much skin.
Janine's like, I didn't get the 10-minute version, just the shortened version.
No, no, absolutely not.
Just the shorter one.
Oh, thanks, fam.
Oh, lovely, Janine.
Oh, thank you.
Thanks for calling.
Appreciate it.
Okay, bye.
The extended version would be a big tattoo.
Can you imagine?
It'd be a massive back piece.
It'd be enormous.
Right now it's time to play Google Down.
And... Actually, it changed my. And actually, change my mind.
No, change it back.
It's not the right time.
I'm ready for you to change it back.
Not the right time.
And change my mind again.
It's time to play.
Do you feel lucky?
Well, do you?
It's time for Brilliant Clint's Google Down.
I think we covered that well.
I think we really covered it.
Did you turn the mics back on?
Seamless.
No, not yet.
Okay.
All right, here we go.
It's time to play Google Down, guys.
Here's how it works.
I have put these questions into Google,
and I'm looking for the most common answer that comes up for that exact question.
First person to yell out their name and get three correct will be the winner.
Today, as producer Ella is away at an appointment,
Abby, you will be playing.
G'day.
Awesome.
Mate, good to have you here.
You've heard the game before?
Yep.
Okay, great.
So you'll be taking on producer Claude and Clint.
Everyone ready to go?
I'm ready.
I'm ready.
All right, here we go.
Question number one.
Remember to buzz in with your name. Are we buzzing in today? Oh, no, wait. I'm ready. All right, here we go. Question number one. Remember to buzz in with your name.
Are we buzzing in today?
Oh, no, wait.
Don't buzz.
Sorry, we play so many games on this show.
Just yell out the answer.
Just yell out the answer, Abby.
Don't wait for me.
What year did man first land on the moon?
1969.
Claudia's away and firing.
Should have remembered that number.
It was a good year.
Why?
It's just nice and even, you know.
Was the summer of 69?
All right, one to Claude.
Question number two.
Who was the first Prime Minister of New Zealand?
Henry Sewell.
Henry Sewell.
You guys have gotten inwell. No, Clint.
Gotten in there.
Abby, how close are you?
You right behind him?
Yeah, yeah.
I keep feeling to push go.
Okay, this one's yours, Abby.
Clint's on one.
Claude's on one.
Question number three.
How tall in feet is Jennifer Aniston?
5'5". Correct.
She is 5'5".
She's lucky it was correct after I did all that celebrating.
Yeah, you didn't even wait for me to say if it was right.
There's a big picture of Jennifer Aniston's face with 5'5 on it.
Clint's on two, Claude's on one.
Abby, yet to get out of the gates, but you're on this one.
Come on.
Question number four.
What year did they release the first Willy Wonka movie?
1971.
Oh, Claude is fired back.
Oh, yeah, you were right there.
Abby was right there behind you.
Feel the heat.
But the point goes to Claude.
We're all tied up here this afternoon, two apiece.
Question number five.
How much is Facebook worth in 2023?
Eight, six, five billion.
21 billion. $21 billion.
I'm still fixing a spelling mistake.
She can, Abby.
That's the problem because we're both gone.
She can take her time now.
Sorry.
Hold on.
$935.64 billion.
$911.054 billion.
Claudia takes out Google Down this afternoon.
That was the answer I had down, $911 billion.
Abby, you were so close.
And we're going to hook you up with the KFC anyway.
Well, thank you.
You're welcome. No worries.
And we appreciate you playing.
You had good energy. You're at a disadvantage. You're on the No worries. And we appreciate you playing. You're a good energy.
You're at a disadvantage.
You're on the phone, you know.
Exactly.
It's way harder.
You probably would have had us if you were here, so.
Not me.
No, I don't know.
I just need to remember to click go.
Yeah, you want to come in next week and play in the studio
because it'll be way easier for you.
Hey, thank you.
You're welcome.
You let us know.
Did you see she just ducked me?
Yeah, she ducked me.
I invited her in and she was like, okay, bye.
Good to chat.
See you.
Okay, bye.
Do you want my details?
Send me the KFC.
Bree and Clint.
Breakup day is coming.
Guys, I don't want to stress anybody out, but breakup day is coming.
Yeah, well, if you're looking to do it, there's a good day on the way.
Can you imagine people just hanging out?
Yeah.
They'd be like, okay. I want to do it, there's a good day on the way. Can you imagine people just hanging out? Yeah. They'd be like, okay.
I want to do it on the day.
I need to do it on breakup day.
I need to do it with enough time.
That's the day I'm allowed to break up with them.
Yeah, far enough away from Christmas.
And it is.
December 11 is the most common day for couples to break up.
That seems close to me.
Yeah, it's not because people are looking to get out for Christmas.
Often they're getting out because of Christmas.
It's like the stress of the holidays culminates in this pressure
and then something happens and they're like,
I don't even want to go to your mum's house for Christmas.
And it all blows up and you end up breaking up.
It is awkward if you don't really want to be in the relationship
and then you're sitting across the table from their nan
who's peppering
questions at you.
Breakups spike around Christmas and then again at Valentine's Day, which means December through
to February is referred to as breakup season.
Interesting, eh?
Well, it's hot girl summer.
That too.
Yeah, for sure.
Those graphs intersect perfectly.
Yep.
I found this interesting.
It's a list of tips from Karen
Nimmo. She's a clinical psychologist on how to survive breakup season. You don't want to break
up, but you feel like things are a bit rocky in your relationship at the moment. So here's some
tips. First one is don't panic if your relationship's a bit rough. She said that all relationships
don't always go uphill. There's ups and downs,
but you can survive them if you acknowledge it together.
Just acknowledge that you're in a rough patch,
talk about it, and you should be fine.
Sounds like a lot of effort.
Also sounds like an opportunity for them to go,
yeah, I'm not really into it anymore.
I've been meaning to talk to you about this.
Tip number two, keep your holiday plans low key.
If you're trying to have the biggest, most Instagrammable summer,
that can put a lot of pressure on a relationship.
So for Christmas, just keep it simple.
Keep it easy.
Cut some costs.
Everything's expensive at the moment.
Go to the beach.
If you've got kids, just stay close to home.
They don't care where you go as long as they can have a swim.
It's all good.
They're not going to remember.
I like this one.
It says, if you're looking to survive breakup season,
be really fussy about your social time.
Pick the parties, pick the people, duck in and out.
Don't stay for too long if you don't want to.
Pick the environments that you're most able to relax in.
It says, aimless socialising will make you feel worse and not better.
That's why I don't visit one side of my family at Christmas.
Here's a tip.
You know there's always in every family,
you always have your favourite side of the family.
I don't know what you're talking about.
You always have your favourite side of the family
and then the other side of the family.
And when you're younger, everyone tries to hang out for Christmas
and then as time goes on,
you just hang out with your favourite side of the family.
Here's a tip. You do not have hang out with your favourite side of the family.
Here's a tip.
You do not have to go to your partner's work Christmas party.
You don't.
I feel like you shouldn't.
It's their work.
It's their time to hang out with the people that they work with.
Oh, bring Bree along.
We'd love to meet her.
She's like, this is my weekend.
No, thank you.
You go have a great time.
I already have to go to my work Christmas party. Why would I want to go to your work Christmas party?
You can hang out with Greg from HR.
I don't want to.
This is the last tip from Karen Nimmo,
the clinical psychologist about surviving breakup season.
She said, set a shared goal for 2024.
Couples benefit from shared goals,
but you have to start small.
Set a short-term goal that you can both get in behind and contribute to. Something that you know that you guys are going to be
able to achieve next year, but you have to work at it together to get there.
Right. Set a goal. I'm going to call my partner and see if we can actually drink a whole bottle
of red wine tonight.
Yeah, that's a goal.
Well, it's achievable.
Yeah. You're saying goal. Well, it's achievable. Yeah.
You're saying I need to up it?
Between two of you.
One bottle of red wine between two of you.
Have you not seen the Magnum bottles of red wine they're selling now? I was going to say.
Have you seen them?
You guys should set a challenge to drink a box of red wine, like the cask.
Hey, we're classy ladies.
Yeah?
Yeah.
I wouldn't take it to tie it to a clothesline or anything.
That's a fun time. I love that game. They meant tell you to tie it to a clothesline or anything. You can have it in a glass. Oh, that's a fun time.
I love that game.
They meant more like a dog or like a...
Goon of fortune.
Yeah.
Good luck, everybody.
I'm sure your relationship is going to be just fine.
It'll be fine.
Just be fine.
Bree and Clint.
Bree and Clint's Birthday Banger.
Cheers to Big Barrel, where mates look after mates.
That's right.
Thanks to Big Barrel and their birthday, we're giving away
$100 to the birthday banger winner
each day at the moment. Easy
as that, but we're going to figure out
what was the number one song on your 16th
first, and then we'll pick our favourite
one. Let's start with Jack. Kia ora,
Jack. G'day, Jack. Afternoon,
team. How are we doing? Not too bad. How's your day
been? Oh, pretty rough,
to be honest. Why?
I'm still just recovering from the weekend.
It was my birthday.
Jeez.
Jack, it's Wednesday.
You must have sent it hard, Jack.
Well, yeah.
Yeah.
Probably too much.
Yeah, fair.
I like you, Jack.
I like a man that can send it hard and have a four-day hangover.
Well, I did actually meet you on Thursday night
because I flew up to Auckland for Friday's Live.
Did you?
I did.
Oh, you really sent it.
If you've been going since Thursday,
no wonder you're still hungover on Wednesday.
Exactly.
That's my situation.
I'm not going to lie, Jack.
In between you and I, I sent it also on Thursday at Friday's Live.
Oh, yeah, I met you.
That's what I'm saying, just between us.
It's between us, Jack.
Oh, okay.
We won't have a mention.
Yeah, no, absolutely.
Jack, what's your birthday?
It is the 18th of November, 1991.
All right, that means you were 16, Jack, in 2007.
And back on your 16th, this was at the top.
Banger, Veronica's.
Banger.
I feel like you and I sung this to each other on Thursday night, Jack.
We may have.
I think you guys were singing, let's hook up.
And then we kissed with tongue.
Wait there, Jack.
We're going to do a birthday banger for Emily.
Kia ora, Emily.
Hi, Emily.
Hi, how are you guys?
Good, mate.
I heard it's your birthday today.
It is.
It is.
It's a big birthday.
Happy birthday for you today, Emily.
Thank you.
Have you got any prezzies yet?
No, my husband's a little sick, but we're going out for dinner, and it's okay.
I'll just buy myself one. He's going to have a big
present for you at dinner. It's waiting for you at dinner,
Emily. Maybe.
It'll be a surprise.
And if your husband is listening,
get your wife a bloody
present now.
There you go, Emily. Okay, what
year are we talking?
I was born 1981. Alright, that means you were 16, Emily. Okay, what year are we talking? I was born 1981.
All right, that means you were 16, Emily, in 1997.
And on this day in 97, this was number one.
Come on, Barbie, let's go party.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
Barbie Girl.
Were you a Barbie Girl fan, Emily?
Oh, my God, yes. Yes, you a Barbie Girl fan, Emily? Oh, my God, yes.
Yes, that's amazing.
I love that song.
I feel like it connects with you.
You can remember that from your 16.
I can definitely remember that song.
And we are in the year of the Barbie movie as well,
so it's fitting.
Let's do one more birthday banger for Sue.
Kia ora, Sue.
Hi, Sue.
Hi, how are you guys? Good, thanks. How's your week been so banger for Sue. Kia ora, Sue. Hi, Sue. Hi, how are you guys?
Good, thanks.
How's your week been so far, Sue?
Oh, not too bad.
We're over hump day, so it's a downward slide for the weekend.
I like that attitude, Sue.
Could be worse.
You could be as hungover as Jack, right?
You're feeling fresh as a daisy right now?
Yes.
No, I don't get hungover.
Not anymore.
No, not good.
Sue recovers quickly.
She hydrates and she's back on it.
Hey, Sue, what's your birthday? 3rd of July, 64. All Yeah, Sue recovers quickly. She hydrates and she's back on it. Hey, Sue, what's your birthday?
3rd of July, 64.
Right, Sue, that means you were 16 in 1980.
And back on your 16th birthday,
this had a number one hit.
Great song.
What a banger, Sue.
That is a good one.
Pseudo Echo, Funky Town.
I love that song from Pseudo Echo.
This part just makes me think of the dad from Malcolm in the Middle.
Oh, yeah.
And he puts the roller skates on.
Makes me think of the stoned towel, Towley from South Park.
Yes.
It's a good one, Sue.
We're going to choose between Pseudo Echo, The Veronica's and Aqua.
I'm going to vote for The Veronica's.
Yeah, I'm torn between, I like all three songs today
and I'm definitely torn between The Veronica's and Aqua.
Well, it's Emily's birthday if you want to go Aqua.
I've got to go Emily. It's her birthday today. All right, Claude, deciding vote. What's it's Emily's birthday if you want to go Aqua. I've got to go Emily.
It's her birthday today.
All right, Claude, deciding vote.
What's it going to be?
No, you can't make me vote against the birthday girl.
Emily, you're taking home the $100 from Big Barrel, my friend.
Oh, yay.
Thanks so much.
Because your bloody husband didn't get you anything,
so we'll hook you.
Happy birthday, mate.
Oh, baby.
You're welcome.
Have a good night, mate.
I'm a Barbie girl in the Barbie world.
Laughing plastic.
It's fantastic.
Bree and Clint.
Do you know the difference between no caller ID slash unknown caller?
Nah, I thought they were the same thing.
That's what I always, I've never really thought about it. Unknown number. Unknown number, unknown caller? Nah, I thought they were the same thing. That's what I always, I've never really thought about it.
Unknown number.
Unknown number, unknown caller versus no caller ID.
No, but now that you mention it, I do get both come up on my phone.
They're different.
Are they?
Yeah.
Okay, what's the difference?
Apparently they're different.
So apparently no caller ID, which can be called,
depending on your phone settings, can come up as a private number.
Oh, your private number is another one.
Or anonymous number, depending on what type of phone you have.
But no caller ID essentially means that the person calling you
has either, has intentionally blocked or hidden their number
so you can't see who's calling.
Yeah, okay.
Right?
Whereas unknown caller actually means that your mobile operator
couldn't actually identify the number,
which in short means probably a scam.
Or someone from overseas.
Or someone from overseas.
So probably a scam.
Probably a scam.
Oh, buzzy.
I never thought about it like that.
Yeah.
I always answer the no caller IDs or the unknown numbers
because I can't handle not knowing who it was calling me.
You don't think that they're going to leave a message?
No.
If they don't, I'll be like, who was that?
Who was trying to get a hold of me?
What was the thing that they needed to talk to me about?
So I actually always answer them.
Do you?
Yeah.
That's a great, that's an interesting point that you make
because I feel like we should play a game where essentially the game is
we have to call people on private number and if they pick up,
then you get a point and if they don't pick up, then you're out.
So you need to call the person.
So I should be calling someone who I think will answer our private number, right?
Yes.
Who in your context do you think will definitely answer a private number?
This person is quite affable.
They're always up for a chat.
And the person I'm calling, I know they're on their phone right now
because I've just been chatting to them on Messenger.
Not about this.
You haven't told them about this game?
No, I promise you I haven't told them about this game? No, I promise you
I haven't told them about this.
Because that's breaking the rules.
We're going to call Guy Williams
and see if he will
pick up his phone.
Alright.
See if he'll answer
an unknown number.
Oh, now that I'm doing it
I'm second guessing myself.
Oh no.
It's a private number.
The person you have dialled
can take your phone out.
When you've finished recording...
He didn't just not answer.
He screened it.
It didn't ring long enough.
Oh, did he reject it?
Yeah, that was a full reject.
Isn't that funny?
Okay, hand me the number.
I'm torn. Wait, I'm torn.
Because it's either going to be my mum or my dad,
but my mum hasn't been answering as much.
But we ring her off air all the time.
Oh, you want someone who will answer.
Exactly.
That's the game.
I thought we were going to call your partner.
Nah, she's at work.
We're going to call my dad, who's not someone we call all the time.
But I feel like my dad, being the boomer he is, will have to answer
because he'll think he's missed out on a good price on some bull semen
or something.
Yeah, that's usually what people are calling him, aren't they?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Call from America about some bull semen that he's put a bid on.
Yeah, American bull semen's good stuff.
It's expensive.
Yeah.
Okay, come on, Big Steve.
Come on, Big Steve.
Come on.
What?
Well, howdy, children.
Steve here.
Sorry I missed your call.
This is one of the great voicemails, by the way.
I'll be back as soon as I can.
See you, partner.
Let me leave a message.
Yeah, good day, Steve.
Just called about that low-priced bull semen.
I guess I'll...
Call me back.
I guess I'll offload it to someone else.
Oh.
Drop out.
Yeah.
Oh.
So we were just getting into our good bull semen gear.
I know.
That's all right.
Dad will appreciate it.
Does that mean neither of us win?
Yeah, no. Should we play next week? Yeah. Dad will appreciate it. Does that mean neither of us win? Yeah, no.
Should we play next week? Yeah.
Play again next week. Why not next week?
Let's play tomorrow. Okay. I've got nothing planned for the show
tomorrow. Neither. Let's play again
tomorrow then.
I want to talk about getting
upgraded. Different
areas of life where you can get
upgraded. Planes.
Great. Hotels. Planes. Great.
Hotels.
Love it.
Concerts. Yes.
Sporting games.
Yes.
What else?
Restaurant bookings.
Restaurant bookings.
There's a million things.
Anywhere where you make a reservation, really, you can often, sometimes, not often, sometimes,
if you're lucky, get an upgrade.
I'm not an upgraded person.
I don't get upgrades.
I don't think I ever have received an upgrade just by chance.
Neither.
You get upgraded all the time, mainly because you ask for it.
Shh, I don't.
I do not ask for it.
Oh, you'll send an email being like,
hey, just wanted to let you know
I'm free
If you have any free tickets
In the corporate box
That's not being upgraded
That's
That's just blagging your way up
Yeah that's just asking
Yeah yeah
Asking for it
There's a woman
Who
I'm having a bit of a golden run
I'll give you that
But I didn't ask for it
Okay
Didn't ask for it
Anyway move on
Not about me You wouldn't say Talking about it on the radio and by chance if someone hears it
isn't asking no okay just check i just wanted to check i just want to clarify no okay move on it's
not about me okay i want to talk about this woman who is a um flight attendant and she's talking
about the different ways
people try and ask her for an upgrade
once they're already on the flight,
which everyone knows once you're on the flight,
there's no getting upgraded.
They put you in your seat.
Exactly.
But she says it doesn't stop people
from trying to get an upgrade to first class.
Okay.
I always have passengers like ask me
if they can move to first class,
say if someone's like running late
and I just say, ha ha ha ha ha.
And usually they're like, yeah, I'm joking.
There have been multiple times that men have hit on me
thinking that I'm going to move them to first class
because they told me I was pretty.
Just a few months ago, this guy walked on the flight
and was like, you're so pretty.
Like this is the most beautiful cabin crew
i've ever seen and he's like yeah also like i see there's a first class seat open like i would love
to take it please let me know if any first class seats are open and i literally dead ass looked at
him and i was like oh i'm not gonna take that compliment now because i know you're just trying
to use me for first class he's like no no no that's not what I meant. She's savage. Not savage.
I agree with her.
No, no, she's right.
But usually the flight attendant would just go,
we'll let you know.
No, I love it.
I love the approach.
Yeah, I think it's good.
Now I know why you gave me a compliment.
He would have been so put at his place.
Idiots.
Can I just say idiots?
Idiots.
If you want an upgrade,
it's all about greasing up the person at the chicken counter.
And show them your boobs.
Yeah.
I would.
Or your muscles.
If I had the decision, like if someone said to me, like I tried to get an upgrade and
it was a long haul flight and they said, if you come around out the back, show me your
boob, we'll put you in first class, I'd say, boom, sign me up.
You can, one boob will get you first class.
Mate, I've got pretty good boobs.
No, but you're only showing them one, you said.
Yeah, one.
That's how good they are.
Just one boob.
Yeah, just one.
I'll just lift up the side like that.
I reckon you'd get premium economy for one.
Mate, don't tell me what my boobs are worth.
They're premium economy boobs.
Mate, my boobs are first class Emirates.
They're first class. They're the cubicle first class Emirates. They're first class.
They're the cubicle first class.
You reckon one of your boobs is enough to go first class on an Emirates flight?
Maybe on an Emirates flight I'd have to show two.
But they're worth it.
Okay, look, I'm not going to disagree with you.
Well, you can't.
You just have to take my word for it.
Don't you?
I feel strange.
I'm negotiating against you on your own boobs.
Yeah, I was going to say,
why are you telling me what grade my boobs are?
We're going to ask you guys this afternoon.
I know $800.
Would you show your boobs to get upgraded?
No, I'm just kidding.
Have your boobs got you upgraded?
We're not going to ask that.
Have you been upgraded?
Yes.
Anywhere?
And what did you do to get that upgrade?
It doesn't necessarily need to be on a flight.
No.
It can be in a hotel.
Yes.
It can be at a sporting game.
It can be anything.
Do you have like an upgrade hack that you want to share with people this afternoon?
Something that just works to get you into a better spot on the thing, whatever it is. I thought we
covered the best way. Oh yeah,
one single boob. Well, it depends
what your boobs are. Show them a picture of one of
Bree's boobs and you'll get an upgrade.
That might get you premium economy, a picture.
Oh, 800 dials at M. Or you can text
it to 9696. Where were you upgraded?
What did you do? How good was it?
We'd love to hear about it this afternoon.
Bree and Clint.
To the person who texted through asking that they needed to see photo evidence
to see if I had first class boobs.
Yes.
I'll just have to take my word for it.
Or they'll have to work somewhere that you want to get upgraded.
That's a great point.
That's the trade.
That's a great point.
You don't get the boob for free.
If you work at Air New Zealand, potentially our paths could cross and you could confirm or deny.
Air New Zealand KFC drive-thru.
KFC drive-thru is a good one.
Upgrade you to large.
Yeah.
We'll do it for a large.
I mean, large.
I'd want a whole family first.
True, true, true.
True, true, true.
But we're asking you this afternoon.
I keep underselling your boobs.
Yeah, stop underselling them.
You haven't even seen them.
My friend Bree will only show you one of her boobs
for a full family pack of chicken.
Exactly.
Okay?
Make it two buckets.
Two buckets.
Two buckets.
Hot and spicy.
Two buckets for two boobs.
That seems fair.
That's how it works.
Rebecca's here.
And the bucket needs to be all breasts.
Breasts for breasts.
Yeah, I love a breast. Rebecca's here. Hi. Hello needs to be all breasts. Breasts for breasts. Yeah, I love a breast.
Rebecca's here.
Hi.
Hello, Bec.
Hi, hey, guys.
How are you?
We're good.
I had to ring because I did get upgraded recently.
Oh, yes.
I'm a nurse, and I was travelling to Kuala Lumpur,
and they stuffed all my tickets up.
Yeah.
And I was sitting there waiting,
and they called me to come to business class
through Singapore Airlines.
Yes, they did, Bec.
Was it because you were a nurse?
Were they like, hey, thank you for your service.
They wouldn't have known that she was a nurse.
No, they didn't know. I'm not sure why, but it's
because, you know, obviously
it's paid for, minimum
pay for bonus. Oh, I see what you're
saying. Yeah, yeah. Somebody,
somebody, somebody decided to upgrade me and I don't know who it was. Karma. Don't ask any questions. Is it who it was, Be I see what you're saying. Yeah, yeah. Somebody, somebody, somebody decided to upgrade me
and I don't know who it was.
Karma.
Don't ask any questions.
Is who it was, Beck,
because you're a good human
doing good work.
Yeah.
How nice.
It was amazing.
I was going to say,
how nice was it?
What airline was it on, Beck?
Singapore Airlines.
Oh, yeah, that's a nice one.
That's a good one.
You feel bad sleeping on those ones
because you're like,
I have to soak all of this up.
Yeah.
I have to enjoy all of it.
It's so true.
Holden's here.
Hi, Holden.
Hi, Holden.
Hey, guys.
Tell us, Holden, what did you get upgraded?
So it's another in New Zealand one.
I travel a lot to work, but I don't have enough points to be gold or elite status.
Okay.
So I do all my group bookings with someone who's got gold or elite status.
Smart.
And then I get free seat upgrades and entry to the lounge.
That is so clever.
Extra baggage allowance and, yeah.
That's such a good life hack.
You just ride on the coattails of someone who does have the upgrades.
Yeah, pretty much.
Genius.
And you get your bags out first as well.
Yeah, nice work, Holden.
That's a great life hack.
I love this text that's come through.
In 2010, going to France from Singapore, an ice,
oh, there was a volcano that erupted and we got stuck in Singapore
for four days and put on a wait list.
It was so bloody hot and I was in stubbies and jandals
and a singlet.
We were the last names to be called up to fill the flight
and being the last seats, they were first class.
Boom.
The first class passengers weren't impressed
when they saw me walking through.
Looking like I was about to mow the lawns.
And your jandals.
Perfect.
I would have loved that.
What about this text?
I was offered an upgrade and I had to decline.
My wife would have killed me if I'd left her with the two kids back in economy.
Yeah, once you have kids, things get messy.
No kids, you take the upgrade.
No, no, no, no.
She will kill you for not taking the upgrade for her.
If she finds out you turned down an upgrade.
Can you do that, though?
I think you can.
I think you can go.
You might be able to.
Because what are they going to do?
You go, I'll take the upgrade, but can you please do it on my wife's ticket?
They're not going to go.
Nah, not for her.
Let's talk to Chantel.
G'day, Chantel.
Hi, guys.
You got upgraded last night, Chantel. Yeah, guys. You got upgraded last night, Chantel.
Yeah, so we were in Auckland for Post Malone,
and we got a text Monday night saying that our accommodation
couldn't accommodate us because they were fully booked out.
Okay.
Yeah.
Yeah, so our $380 two-bedroom suite at the Barclays Suites turned into the $2,000 a night suite at Hotel Britter Mart.
You're shitting me, Chantel.
You got like the top-notch suite at the really nice brand new hotel.
Yeah, like insane.
Who paid for it?
Who upgraded you?
So Expedia.
So they said, I mean, it's not our fault it was sort of fell on the hotel,
but because we booked through them.
They cover it.
It's on us, yeah.
That is a life hack as well.
Did you live it up in that suite for the night?
Absolutely.
How good.
It was breakfast in the morning.
Yeah.
Is breakfast included with the $2,000 hotel room?
Yeah, so we got the valet parking, wine and revival, breakfast, everything.
Oh, God, you can't go back now, Shawnee.
No, you're spoiled.
So good.
Other half live.
They're coming through left, right and centre, all these upgrades,
and not a single person had to flash one of their boobs to get it.
Yeah, I think they just leave that detail out.
Oh, right.
Because they don't want other people to cotton on to that's how you get it
and then everyone's going to be doing it.
Yeah, right.
And then, you know, it just ruins it.
VIP to tease.
Yeah.
True.
That's a good point.
Bree and Clint.
We are the leading show for maritime and aviation-based news,
trying to get up there for space-related news.
That's right.
And I feel like this story will get us a few points on the board.
Okay.
So the Australian Space Agency has partnered...
Oh, it's not a good start.
Wait, the Australian Space Agency?
Yeah, the ASA.
So it is ASA? Yeah, ASA.
I took a
guess before.
But turns out it is ASA.
It's ASA. Instead of NASA, it's ASA.
They've teamed up with NASA
though to design and build
an Australian made rover
as a part of this program
where they're going to send it up
to the moon.
An Aussie space rover?
Yeah.
Look at that.
Isn't that wild?
Has it got like a holding badge on the front of it?
I think so.
It's a V8.
It's a V8 rover.
Good, good, good.
So apparently they're going to launch it as early as 2026,
but it's already begun and they've already started to make the rover
that they're going
to send to space.
Wow.
And something that they've been doing is taking name suggestions from different people on
a website survey.
Bad idea.
You know, we can't be trusted with names.
I know.
You're going to get Spacey McSpaceface.
It's not.
Isn't it?
Do you want to hear that?
These are the top four names that people are now voting on that they've taken from suggestions.
So the first name that they've taken is Kulamon,
which is an Indigenous word for multi-purpose sustainable tool
used for gathering and carrying.
Nice idea.
Which is essentially what a rover is.
Then you've got Kakira, which is another Indigenous word
which translates to moon. Then you've got kakira, which is another Indigenous word, which translates to moon.
Then you've got mateship, which apparently comes from the Anzac spirit.
And then the last one, which is my favourite, is roover.
Roover.
Like a kangaroo slash rover.
That's a rover.
Roover.
Not bad, not bad.
Not bad.
I think it could be better.
I've got some ideas we can do better than this.
Yeah, let's rattle off some ideas.
Okay, what have you got?
The first one that I thought I would put into the mix is we call the rover Ben.
Ben?
Ben Rover.
Yep, Ben Rover.
She's an Aussie rover, right?
She's an Aussie rover, yep.
So I thought we could call her Rover McMoonus.
Rover.
Rove McManus.
Oh, it's good.
It's good.
I like it.
Well, it's not good if I have to explain it.
No, I'm just not smart enough.
What about, I mean, you can just go with the classic.
You call it Rangey Rover.
Rangey Rover?
Yeah.
What about the Holden Club Sport Moon Edition?
What about, because it sweeps the ground and collects things,
you could call it Meryl Sweep.
Meryl Sweep, yeah.
Wait, is she Australian?
No, she's not.
It doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter.
The Tasmoonian Devil.
The Tasmoonian Devil is good.
What about we call it Move Rover?
Move Rover.
Yeah, that's good.
Yeah.
I mean, you could go with the classic child's game, Red Rover, Red Rover.
Yeah.
You could put it in a purple skivvy and call it Jeff.
Jeff Rover.
No, Jeff from the Wiggles.
I'm going for Australian
references. I thought that's all we were doing here.
I was just going for anything that I thought
might sound funny.
You could say, wake up, Jeff.
Yeah, that was a
stretch more so than the other one, I think.
What was your other one?
The Rove McManus one?
Rover McMoonas.
That's my favourite, I think.
I think we go with that.
Good, because my last idea was just to call it Elf Stewart, so.
Yeah, Flaming Galah!
