What coin do you like to look of? My brother said I should look at some Cardano. Cardano. There's so many of them. And he also said, this is my brother, crypto is a speculative scam for the most part where people either just straight up lose their money or just have it stolen.

Correct. Interesting, eh? It's gambling. It is literally gambling. It's just gambling, yeah. It's not like I would ever put a lot of money. I'm talking about putting $100 in. Oh, then just buy anything. Yeah. Yeah. Unless's not like I would ever put a lot of money. I'm talking about putting $100 in. Oh, then just buy anything.

Yeah. Yeah. Unless. Unless. Unless. But what if, you know, you see those TikToks and it's like, if you had bought this back in this time, you'd be a millionaire. It's the same thing, though.

Those videos might as well go, if you had bought a house in Auckland in 1960, you'd be a millionaire. It's like, yeah, coulda, shoulda, woulda, didn't. How do I get rich now? What do I do? I'd love to go back in time and tell myself some stuff. Oh, yeah. It'd be so good, wouldn't it?

Did you have any Irish romances? I did at the time, but that's gone out that flame. A thing of the past. A thing of the past. Let's not touch it. It sounds painful. Okay, Ian, your buzzer is tradie. Danielle, your buzzer is lady.

First three wins, 50 bucks. Thanks to KFC. This has been a very awkward start to tradie versus lady. Anyway, guys. All right, here we go. Question number one. Good luck to both of you.

Last night's episode of Celebrity Treasure Island saw one of the favourites go home. Was it... Me. Yes, Danielle, the favourites go home. Was it... Yes, Danielle, you're in very quick. Was it Art? Only because I saw it on Instagram. That is true. Yeah, it was Art Green.

Nice work. He's on the show with us today too. Yeah, on the show just after 5.30. One point to the ladies. Question number two. How many donuts would I have if I purchased a baker's dozen? Lady. Yes, Danielle. 13. Danielle, I tell you I purchased a baker's dozen? Lady.

Yes, Danielle. 13. Danielle, I tell you. Wow, she's rapid. You're bloody onto it. I feel like. Fuck, I'm racing. Danielle, you may have stopped doing the bodybuilding, but are you still on the pre-workouts?

Yeah, maybe. I'm buzzing, hey? Just bloody competitive, I feel. All right, two to the ladies. Ian, you need this one here, okay, to stop Danielle. Question number three. Out of Bebo, MySpace, Facebook and Instagram, what social media platform launched first?

Brady. Yes, Ian. Bebo? No, that's not right. Danielle, do you want to guess? Yeah, can you give me them again? Yep, so the ones left are MySpace, Facebook and Instagram. MySpace?

MySpace is correct. She's done it. She's a lady. Oh, oh, oh, she's a lady. 2003, all the others came from 2004, 2005 and 2010 for Instagram. A 3-0 victory to our former bodybuilder, Danielle. Congratulations. Yeah, thank you.

Bring it on, Danielle. Have a big block of cheese to celebrate tonight. I might have to, yeah, I might have to shout out and take my niece, Yana, she's listening. So, hey, Yana. Sounds good. Shout out to Yana. Bree and Clint.

Speaking of anxiety, I saw this story today where one young driver will be having severe anxiety after crashing on a driving lesson. Not even a driving test during a driving lesson. Yeah, that is a lot of people's worst nightmare. They are a teenager. They were on a learner's driver's lesson in Nelson and it came to an abrupt halt after they hit another car,

drove through a fence and then crashed into the side of a house. I mean, good effort. That's the triple. You've damaged a car, a fence and a house. They were having a lesson with the AA driving school. They pulled out of a road. They T-boned someone. So they went straight into the side of it.

The person who they T-boned said, he didn't see me, he smashed right into the driver's side door, scary, and then ricocheted off through a fence and then damaged the piles of a house. Do we know what number lesson they were on? No, it doesn't say. It was in one of those tiny little AA Suzuki Swift training cars. So a lot more damage could have been done if you were out there, you know,

doing your driving lessons in dead CX-9 or something. Is it a thing in New Zealand for all of those driving lessons cars? Do they have pedals and a wheel on the passenger side of the car too? Safety brake. I'm not sure. I know some of them do. I don't know if all of them do. My driving instructor had to use those capabilities a few times.

Really? Yeah. There's a great TV show that we get here in New Zealand. It's an Australian show where it's driving instructors and they've got like GoPros mounted in the car and it shows where they have to jump in and intervene. Some people just look so terrified. I remember my driving instructor used to say to me,

you're too confident. Yes, I know that. Yeah, I've heard that before. Because I learned to drive when I was nine years old. So he was like, where have you come from? They're like, you're not in a paddock. He's like, stop doing handbrake turns around the corners. It's scary though.

And being a driving instructor, it's a brave job because everybody has to start somewhere. I don't believe that everybody is cut out to drive, but you've got to find out. You've got to do a couple of lessons to find out whether driving is your thing or not. And the people who aren't cut out for it, man, those would be some wild rides.

Yeah, my nonna, my Italian grandmother, she learnt very early on that she wasn't cut out for it. Yeah. And she just never drove. Same with my grandma. Yeah. My papa gave my nan one lesson and he said, never again. I will never take you driving again.

And then she's like, okay, sweet. Well, you're the driver then. And she just never drove. Really? So how did she get around? She walked a lot. Yeah, my nonna used to walk. She used to walk,

I think it was eight kilometres into town to do the groceries and then eight kilometres home. Yeah, it gets rough as they get older. Absolutely. No, we just let her go. It would take her three days to do the shopping,

but it was fine. Keep her busy. Yeah. I thought we could take some calls this afternoon because this teenager and Nelson, they'll be kicking themselves at the moment. But, you know, everybody makes mistakes at the start. Absolutely.

This is the time to make mistakes. Before you own a flash car, before you're on anybody else's insurance, like you'll be on the AA's insurance there. Don't worry. Crash their car. Don't crash your own car. One of my friends was having a driving lesson with their dad and

they crashed the car in the driveway when they ran straight through the garage door. For drive instead of reverse? Yep. Yeah, yeah. Classic. Classic. Dump yourself in and tell us this afternoon what damage you did while you were learning to

drive. You can call us on 0800DIALZM or you can call us on 0800DIALS.M or you can text us on 9696. Not if you're driving, though. No. Don't do that if you're driving. We don't want a live story. No.

That's not what we're looking for. Share it with us. Someone in Nelson today has made the news for failing a driver's licence test. It's not fair that your crash ends up on the news. Come on. You're meant to be in a safe place. I mean, you know, if you drive into a house,

then you've got to expect that. Well, they T-boned someone, they crashed through a fence and they drove into the side of a house, damaging all three things. Someone texted and said, sounds about spot on for Nelson drivers. That's something we've got people from all ends of the spectrum. I feel like, you know, if you grew up on a farm like I

did, people, this would be all too common for people when you learn to drive, when you're like, my brother was, I think he was eight when he learned to drive, and he couldn't even see over the dashboard when he was changing the gears. And there was a very, very good amount of close calls.

Yeah, right. But you're in a big paddock and you're safe. You're good to go. There's no traffic on the farm. Oh, no, we took out some apple trees from time to time. Let's talk to some lunar drivers who did some damage. Daniel's here. G'day, Daniel.

G'day, Dan. How you going? Good, Dan. What happened? Was it you? Yeah, yeah, it was me. I bought a, the oldies helped me buy a brand new Ranger and decided to go do my learner's test.

And I was just driving downtown and somebody ran out in front of me, so I slammed on the brakes, like obviously not to run them over, and then, yeah, some person rear-ended me. Dan, you did your learner's driver's test in a brand new Ford Ranger. Dan. Yeah. Must be nice. Must be nice.

Must be nice, Dan. How bad was it? It was pretty gutting when it got crashed into. Do you fail the test for that? Seeing as you were slamming on the brakes taking evasive action but someone hit you, do you fail the test? Yeah, the tester looked at me quite confused, eh? No, the other person's in the room.

Yeah, he said just come back another time. It was a bit confusing. I don't think he'd been through it before. Oh, right. Unless you had the safety of a brand new vehicle, I guess. He was in shock from the airbag hitting him in the face. Good stuff, Dan. Thank you, mate. Let's talk to Janie. vehicle, I guess. He was in shock from the airbag hitting him in the face. Good stuff, Dan. Thank you, mate.

Let's talk to Janie. Hi, Janie. G'day, Janie. Hey, how's it going? Good, Janie. Did you have a bit of a whoopsie? Yeah, less than that. I wasn't even on the road.

I was just on my driveway and I was in my beautiful 1983 Toyota Starlet. Nice. Oh, lovely. Yeah, ended up running my dog over three times in one go. I thought it was on the hose pipe and I reversed and I was like, oh, I'm on the dog. Oh, I'm on the dog again. Yep.

Janie. Jane, I think this is one of the most disturbing stories I've heard on our show for a while. Yeah, it was a bit sad. Poor wee Maggie girl. She was a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel too. Wait, wait, wait. How old was she?

Oh, she was only about seven. And she lived. Oh, God. Janie. Yeah, she ran inside, had a bit of a seizure underneath the pool table. Janie, she lived lived no thanks to you. She was never quite the same again all we think. You're lucky in 1983

Toyota Starlet weighs about 30 kilograms because this story could have been much worse. Who runs their own dog over three times? I know. I love how casual you are too. You're not a bad person. You're like, I ran over her not once, not twice, but three times in a row.

You got to finish your job properly. You were so dark and I love it. The third time might have actually acted as CPR, you know, might have resuscitated the dog. Kate, this is an interesting one because you actually deal with people who fail their driver's license. Your job was to tell people why they failed their test, right? Yeah.

But you personally didn't actually have a driver's license of your own? No, even to this day, I'm still on my learners. Wow. So how was that on your high horse, telling people what a bad driver they are when you can't drive yourself? Yeah, it got pretty awkward at times, especially when I had a police officer's daughter complain and then got the police officer on the phone, and I feel like he knew. He knew that you didn't have a licence. Yeah, he was really questioning my credibility. Oh, God. And do you have a licence now?

No, I'm still on my learners. How old are you? 28. Kate! And how come? Why do you think that is? I'm always, like, quite interested. Is there a reason you think you haven't got your full license yet?

I think it is anxiety because one of my first lessons, I, like, absolutely crashed into a curb and it's, you know, it was a full tantrum, me, like, slamming the door and storming off with my dad, you know, screaming at me to get back in the car. Wait, Kate, this story that came out yesterday, that wasn't you, was it? No, no, it wasn't. That's what this kid's going to have, though, you know? The next time he gets back in the car, he's going to be scared. He's going to make front-page news again.

Exactly, but oh my gosh, the amount of horror stories that we heard, like being on the other end of driving testing, it's a pretty scary job for the testers. Oh yeah, it's scary shit out there, man. Maybe take the bus if you can. Yeah. Kia ora, this is Toby Mann. I'm the host of Gone By Lunchtime,

a podcast for the spin-off podcast network all about politics and politicians with me, Annabel Lee-Mather and Ben Thomas, careering wildly from the very serious to the very ridiculous. It's not for everyone. I don't think it would be Ellen's cup of tea, but you, I reckon, will love it. Gone By Lunchtime. Grab one now wherever you get your podcasts. Bree and Clint from iHeartRadio. This is the latest live from LA with Dean McCarthy. Dean, this is massive. Launched today was a trailer on Netflix for a new Britney Spears documentary called Britney vs. Spears. Yes.

Now, what's interesting about this documentary, it's going to be huge. It comes out the day before. It comes out on the 28th of September. And on the 29th of September is Britney's next big major court date where things could really shift up. So perfectly well timed. Here's the deal, right? So this actual documentary is all about the conservatorship. So we saw recent ones where they were all about how the paparazzi treated her and her breakdown and things like that. This is all about the conservatorship. And you will not see anything in there, as the director said, and I quote, that would

traumatize Britney. So it's not like, you know, there's not that photo of her with the umbrella trying to hit the glass window or with a shaved head, nothing like that. This is about how dark and horrific the conservatorship has been. And they've even used, obviously, some, you, some audio recordings of Britney Spears herself in it. Now, the director of this one from Netflix tried to reach out to Britney multiple times, even wrote her a letter that she says Britney would have received. So I don't know what that means.

Maybe she gave it to a dear friend or something. But Britney did not approve this. It's unauthorised, and she was not involved in it at all. So that is something important to note as well. But the trailer looks incredible. Totally wild. We've got a little bit of the trailer here. This is the Britney vs. Spears documentary coming out on Netflix.

I just want my life back. Britney's been silenced to speak out about anything that's really going on. Britney's never had one person she could trust. Not mum, not dad. Britney had a fear that her family would barge in and take everything. What was going on inside the conservatorship? And why was she still in one if she was, quote, okay? There was financial incentives for Jamie, for the lawyers.

I represented dozens of conservatees in court. Not one of them has ever had a job. Brittany made other people a lot of money. I've worked my whole life. I don't owe these people anything. It looks full on. It looks so full on and I definitely will be

tuning in. I'm 100% going to watch it. But Dean, when are we going to get something where she is actually in it? She's speaking about stuff like that's what I really want to see. I want her to be out. She can't until she's out. I know. She'll do the Oprah interview when she gets out.

So I can't wait for her to actually be able to talk for herself. Yeah. It'll be Oprah. You took the words out of her mouth. So what'll happen is once the conservatorship is over, we might see a big change in that on the 29th of September. Once it's over, once she's freed, I think she'll do an Oprah interview. I think that's

the most appropriate thing for her and I think that's what she'll do. There you go. That is the latest live out of Los Angeles with our Hollywood correspondent Dean McCarthy. I found this really interesting and I've ended up going down a wormhole to find more. It's stories about actors who were adults when they were

playing teenagers in movies. Oh yeah, I love this kind of stuff. It's stories about actors who were adults when they were playing teenagers in movies. Oh, yeah. I love this kind of stuff. It's particularly pointing in for any of our younger listeners who watch like Riverdale and they go, man, why is Cole Sprouse so cool as a 17-year-old when I am a pimply-faced, awkward teenager? Well, there's a reason for that. It's because he's 25 in Riverdale.

Exactly. Playing a 17-year-old. It's like you and I. You say you're 34, but you're actually like 48. No. And we play these characters on the radio. Like I say that I'm 31, but I'm actually 25. Are you?

To be older. Yeah, right. You are very withered for a 25-year-old. I nearly said the F word there. You've done some serious sun damage to yourself in your 25 years. I nearly said the F word. You could pass for 40. Okay, here we go.

Let's have a look at some of these. Let's start old school with Grease. John Travolta playing Danny. Danny's age was 18. They were high school leavers in Grease. John Travolta not too far off in there. He was 23 years old when he was in Greece. Very young, 23 years old.

Let's jump a bit to Spider-Man, Tobey Maguire's Spider-Man. When he was playing Peter Parker, Peter Parker's meant to be a 17-year-old boy, you know? He's at school, he's living with Uncle Ben. Tobey Maguire playing Spider-Man, how old do you think he was? 25. 27. Yeah. Playing Maguire playing Spider-Man. How old do you think he was? 25.

27. Yeah. Playing a 17-year-old. Dirty Dancing. So Baby in Dirty Dancing, Jennifer Grey. Her character is 17 years old in that movie. And when you think about how raunchy Dirty Dancing is,

you go, wait, this is a 17-year-old? Yeah, she looks about 25, 26. 27 in that movie. Ryan from the OC. 27 he was. Yeah, well, he's meant to be 17 and the guy playing him at the start of the OC

was 24 years old. Oh, he was only 24. At the start. Right. At the very start of the show. This one is really interesting. So did you watch Hannah Montana? Yes. So the guy who was playing Jackson, Miley's brother. I know this one.

He was 32, wasn't he? Towards the end he was 32, yeah. So the character's meant to be 16 years old. The guy's name is Jason Earls and he was 29 playing alongside Miley Cyrus. Who was actually the age that she was playing. Who was actually the age because she was actually Miley. Yeah. He has a real baby face, that guy.

Cold Sparks, we've done. What about Mean Girls? Mean Girls, Rachel McAdams in there who's playing Regina George. I wouldn't say she was really old. I reckon she would be, what, 24? 26, and she was playing a 16 or 17 year old in that movie. Here's one for you. What about Kath and Kim? So,

how old do you think Kim from Kath and Kim is supposed to be in the show? In the show, she's supposed to be, like, in her early 30s. So, at the beginning of Kath and Kim, the Kim character is meant to be 26.

Is she? Yeah. Well, I know for a fact, I think she's about, what, she'd be like 45? So the actress who plays Kim in Kath and Kim, Gina Riley, in 2002 when the show started,

she was 40. Yeah. Yeah. But I think that one's not as shocking as me, as shocking to me, because it's meant to be like a piss take. Oh, it's totally meant to be a piss take, yeah. Whereas those other ones that you've mentioned aren't. The lady who played Moaning Myrtle in Harry Potter,

Moaning Myrtle was like 13, the lady was 36. Yeah, but Moaning Myrtle was a ghost, so technically she would have been 36. Yeah, true, She was 306. Yeah. The number plates, the new series of number plates that have come out over in the UK, which essentially is like obviously you look at cars and, you know, there's new numbers. Like when you see new cars roll out off the lot, all the cars start with the same numbers,

like the new series of number plates. So in the UK they're called the 71 series number plates and there's this article talking about how there's particular number plates in the series that make up, you know, number plates that could be offensive, embarrassing or in poor taste, that they've actually just banned from the line-up. Okay. And I thought we could play a fun game this afternoon called

Can You Tell Me The Rude Word That This Number Plate Makes Up? I'm up for this. This will be a bit of fun. Producers, you can get involved. People listening can play from home. And let's kick off proceedings with the first number plate, which is PR71CK. PR71...

I want to say... Prozac? Prick? Yeah, I would say Prick. Producer Ben's got it. Do you have a pen and a piece of paper, Clint? Maybe easier if you write it down. Right, so first one for Producer Ben.

Let's kick off another one. Really, you can't have a number plate that looks like Prick in the UK. Well, they've taken that off the series. So just keep in mind these number plates may cause offence, embarrassment or in poor taste. So they've been banned. Number plates may cause offence, embarrassment or in poor taste. Cool. So they've been banned. The next one is F71.

Okay. A-R-T. A-R-T. Just fart? Yeah. It is fart. It's been banned. It's not even fart.

It's F71 art. I know, but it kind of looks like fart. It's fart with a 71 in the middle. All right, do you want to hear the next one that's been banned? Give this one a go. S-71-FF-Y. Stiffy. Yep, Clint's got it. It is stiffy.

That one works. I feel like I wrote that one on my calculator back at school. That is, in fact, stiffy. It's been banned. What about this next number plate? E-A-71-D-C-K. Eat a dick. I like that one quite a lot.

And then it's close, close friend. You like to do what? What? No. No. Moving on. Hello to Anastasia's sad Marty. This is a very close one to its friend Eda Dick.

E-A-71-M-U-F. Oh, no, no, no. I'm not saying that, but I know what it is. I can't figure it out. To me, it just looks like Eda Muff. Eda Muff. All right. Do you guys want another one?

These are all actual number plates. Are we allowed to say these on the radio, though? They're number plays. It's too late now. Muffler. Eat a muffler. Oh, yeah, yeah, that'll be it, yeah. What about F-A-71-N-N-Y?

What? Oh, Fenny. Fenny. Which, I mean, can mean bum. You're allowed 71, Fenny, because it's the 71 series. They've all got a 71 in them. They've all got 71. Oh, okay. Okay, the last one. Let's all got a 71 in them. They've all got 71. Oh, okay.

Okay, the last one. Let's just say you're all on equal points. First person to call out this one will be our winner. These are all number plates that have been banned in the 71 series over in the UK. Cock-a-moles! Oh, no, sorry. I've been even started. Something on your mind, Clint.

All right, here we go. The last one. First person to call it out wins. Yeah. C-71 NTS. Is it? Oh, no! By the way, if you call this one out and win the game,

you also lose your job. So it's a win-win slash win-lose. We're going to call up Kiwi Plates and see if any of these are available. I know, right? I thought we could do a fun thing this afternoon and get people to call if they have a naughty number plate. Oh, yeah. Maybe intentionally or unintentionally.

Unintentionally or intentionally. Or they might have seen a naughty number plate getting around their neighbourhood. Maybe you just randomly happened to be driving around in BJ420. Yeah. Not your fault you got BJ420. Yeah. You know? Not your fault you got BJ420. Yeah, you got it from the VTNZ. Remember that time we found the guy

who owned the number plate boobies? Yes! Yeah, we found the original boobies. Yeah. Okay, 0800 dials it in. What's your naughty number plate that you've got? Maybe you purchased it or it just came with the car. Or you can text us on 9696. Bree and Clint.

So the DVLA, which is the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency over in the UK, has revealed the list of banned combinations for the new 71 Series number plates. And there's so many on the list that you can't have. Some of them are the bit of an overreaction like banning fart and stiffy you know some of them i can understand why you can't have them on the road you know what other ones i've banned they've been ones like co71 ona because it looks like corona they've also been oh yeah they've also banned an71VAX, which looks like anti-vax. Ah.

So they've banned, yeah, like it's a big, big list. So we wanted to know from you guys this afternoon, what number plate wasn't banned because you've got it? It's on your card, you filthy animal. Let's talk to Jess first. Hi, Jess. G'day, Jess. Hi, Brian Clinton. How are you? Good, mate. Very good. I'm excited to Jess first. Hi, Jess. G'day, Jess. Hey, Brian Clint.

How are you? Good, mate. Very good. I'm excited to hear your naughty number plate. So it's not ours anymore. Forced the parents to sell it, but they went to Toyota and got a brand new Toyota car and came back with FAN333. So wait, S, what was it?

F-A-N, fan. Fan. 3-3-3. Oh, fanny. Fanny? Fanny. And my brother and I said, no, we're not getting in that. You guys didn't want to be taken to school in the fanny wagon.

The fanny mobile. Definitely not. Oh, that's very good. Jump in my fanny.? The fanny mobile. Definitely not. Oh, that's very good. Jump in my fanny. We'll go for a ride. They didn't have it long, put it that way. How many kids they got in your mum's fanny mobile? None.

It was just them. We refused to get in it. Yeah, right. It was quite hard to get out of the fanny mobile too. Yeah, well you were in there once upon a time, Jess. Thank you. We appreciate it. Let's talk to Alex. Hi, Alex. G'day, Alex. How's it going?

Good, thank you. Is it you that owns the naughty number plate? It does. And I'm, yeah, I'm real about it, actually. So the number plate I have on my motorbike is A4NUS. Oh, you've got anus on your motorbike. I've got anus. And I really enjoy it because I drive like a hooligan.

So every time I imagine me turning past someone in traffic, they're like, who's that anus. And I really enjoy it because I drive like a hooligan so every time I imagine me turning past someone in traffic, they're like, who's that anus? And I'm like, hold it. Yeah, because that's... You got him before the main.

I always have road rage and scream the word, you bloody anus. Yeah. You've got to be careful out there, Alex, mate. You piss someone off, they'll rear-end you.

Yeah, that's true. With another plant I had before the current bike, the last one I had was A4 in new L. So... I feel like it's getting better at least, Alex. I feel like it. All right.

Thank you, Anus Man. We appreciate it. Alex was so funny. Avril. Hi, Avril. G'day, Avril. Hi. Can your naughty number plate top those?

I'm not too sure, but on my husband's yoke, which funnily enough I now have to drive the majority of the time, we hit B0 in 3R. B0 boner. Yep. You're out there driving the boner mobile? Yep, yep. Yeah, the steering's a bit stiff, isn't it?

No power steering. Taking them for a warrant, they said, you've's a bit stiff, isn't it? No power steering. Taking him for a warrant, they said. You've got a problem with your drive shaft. Yeah, good. All right, Avril, well, he stitched you up well and truly there. But someone will pay good money for that. There'll be some teenage boy out there who really wants Boner on their car, you know? Absolutely.

Well, we only have it because the last name's Boner, so. Right. That could be confusing. Is it a Bonner magnet? Well, he got me, so I suppose so. I appreciate everyone that's texted through. There's so many that we can't read out on the internet. There's some really.

Read out on the internet? Read out on the radio. There's some really. The Beaver ones were particularly good. Yeah, they were very good. Read out on the internet? Read out on the radio. There's some really, um... The Beaver ones were particularly good. Yeah, they were very good. And to be honest, we didn't believe a lot of you, and we looked it up on Car Jam,

and turns out you're not lying. To the man from Rotorua who said he has P-U-S-S-E-Y on his car. He's not lying. I checked him out. He's not lying. It's on a 1996 Holden Commodore. Of course. It's a great website.

I can look anybody up on this. Of course it is. Can you look out this one? Yep. It's E. E. T. T.

A. A. O. O. U. U. T. No, I'm not looking that one up.

Sorry, I can't. Legally, I can't. They said there's a guy in their town that has that number plate. Is it real? It's also on a Holden Commodore. Stop it. Bree and Clint. You know what?

Shame on me for not knowing more trios. Turns out we're flush with trios. It's quite a lot, isn't it? There's heaps. Every day at 4.30, a.k.a. work from home knock-off time, we're offering you aos. It's quite a lot, isn't it? There's heaps. Every day at 4.30, aka work from home knockoff time, we're offering you a morale boosting request. A shot in the arm that will pick up your moods,

you know, and power you through your lockdown. Today, the theme, trios. Because we're in level three here in Auckland. Yeah, see, we planned it all along. Yeah, we planned this way in advance. Joining our threesome to, oh, that sounded weird, to help us pick a morale burgeoning request is Grace. Hi, Grace.

Welcome to the party. Hey, guys. Hi. Okay, we're going to go through these. Which side of the bed do you want, Grace? Do you want to be in the middle? Don't get me started. Do you want to be the bread or the meat in the sandwich?

Oh, tough don't know. Tough choice. Tough choice. Tough choice. Who? How do you two? Rock, paper, scissors. Oh, okay.

All right. Here we go. Here we go, guys. All you got to do is tell us whether these songs are going through to the final. It doesn't have to be

a winner yet. It just has to be a finalist. Trios. First trio up, the Jonas Brothers. Is this a morale booster? For sure, 100%.

Absolutely. I love Nick Jonas' voice in this. Yeah. It's through. What about Hanson, the original Jonas Brothers? Absolutely, I'm putting that in. I think you that in. I think you're right.

I think it's got to go through. It's nothing but morale boosting. What about these guys? Green Day are a trio. Grace, would you put Green Day into the final? 100%. Yep. All right, they're going through then. They're in.

What about Blink 182? This is morale boosting. We've got to cut somebody, though. I do love the na-na-na-na-na-na. Yeah, I'm putting it through. All right, it's in. She's going to be a big finalist. TLC.

Grace. Yeah, why not? How many have we got left? Still two to go. Grace is greedy, aren't you? Destiny's Child. Absolutely, that's going through. I guess you can't cut Destiny's Child You can't

From a trio competition They are the trio Right And the last one is a wild card This trio is Ariana Grande, Jessie J and Nicki Minaj This was a banger Grace, does Bang Bang go into the finals? This was a banger. Grace, does Bang Bang go into the finals?

Well, considering the Threesome situation, I reckon it's vital. Yeah, okay. So we literally eliminated nothing. I'll run you through our finalists one more time and then we are voting. I doubt we're going to get a consensus. But our finalists are Jonas Brothers. Hanson, Green Day,

Blink 182, TLC, Destiny's Childs, and Bang Bang. I had no idea what I'm picking. Grace, what are you picking? Well, don't ask her now. Here we go.

We're all going to vote. You're going to say one song in three, two, one. The winner is... Bang Bang. TLC. Oh, we got there. Who would have drunk it? Here we go, everybody.

I'm not surprised from you, Grace. Bang Bang. It is what it is, mate. It is what it is. Here's your morale boost in New Zealand, Brian Clint. I don't care the lack, but I can send you into overdrive.

Brie and Clint. Once upon a time, there was a girl. She was smart, debatable, talented, eh, athletic. Not really, but picking a movie title based on just the plot line. That she can do. Brie and Clint's What's The Plot? Looking for 25 wins in a row. In the red corner, Brie Thomasel.

I mean, I'm happy. I'm happy with that. Looking to take her down and win herself $1,250 cash. In the blue corner, it's Catherine. Hi, Catherine. Hi, Catherine. Hi. Hi, hi, hi. Welcome to the highest stakes game of What's the Plot? What there has ever been in the three years we've been playing this game.

Honestly, my heart is beating so fast. Me too, Catherine. Me too. The stakes are high, but the game is beating so fast. Me too, Catherine. The stakes are high, but the game is exactly the same. To win, you just need to get two movie plots correct before Bree does. Do you know your movies and have you played What's the Plot before? Yes, yes, yes, yes. Yes, yes, yes. I know my movies.

Okay, great. All right. Here we go, guys. I will lay down the rules before I give you the theme. Once you have the theme, I will begin immediately. You buzz in with your name when you think you know the movie based off the plot line that I'll be reading. If you buzz in and you get it wrong,

then the other person gets a free guess. First to two is the winner. Today's theme, musicals. Oh, no. Movie musicals. Good luck, everybody. Your buzzers are your names. Movie number one.

I hate musicals. Based on the real-life story of a family of singers, one of the world's best-known concert groups in the era immediately preceding World War II. This story... Brie. Brie. Jersey Boys? Jersey Boys is incorrect. Jersey Boys is from the 50s.

I took a stab. I don't watch musicals. Catherine, would you like a free guess? Sound of Music? The Sound of Music? The Sound of Music is correct. Oh my gosh. Movie number two.

This is going to be my downfall. You feel like this is your week to go out? Yeah, I'm not good. I hate musicals. You just have to get this one.

You just have to get this one. You just have to get this one. Okay. Movie number two. After completing his studies, our hero begins to perform rock music at local pubs. Later, he meets John Reed, a music manager who helps him rise to fame. Bree.

Catherine knows it. If you don't get it right, Catherine knows it. Yesterday, the Beatles movie. Is incorrect. Catherine, your chance at a free guess. Dive in the Dark, Rock of Ages. Rock of Ages. Rock of Ages. Yes.

Is incorrect. I'll continue the plot line. Later, he meets John Reed, a musical manager who helps him rise to fame but also creates chaos in his life. This is the epic True Catherine. School of Rock? School of Rock is incorrect. Three, three guess.

After this, I will buzz the movie out and we will move on. Rocky Horror? Rocky Horror is incorrect. Three of those four guesses had one of the words of the movie title correct. The movie is Rocketman. The Elton John movie. That's what I have seen. For God's sake.

It's fine. We continue. One point to Catherine, no points to Brie. Movie number three. Growing up in the early 1800s, our hero displays a natural talent for publicity and promotion, sellering lottery tickets by age 12.

After trying his hand at various jobs, PT turns to show business to indulge his limitless imagination. Brie. Brie. The greatest showman. The Greatest Showman. The Greatest Showman. I've seen it.

It sounds like it. To hang on in this game, The Greatest Showman is correct. I feel very rocked right now. Very rocked. Catherine, you're playing a fantastic game, by the way. It all comes down to this. These are really hard. They're really hard, aren't they?

It all comes down to this. And Ben, we may need a bonus movie on this list if this gets pushed to an extra question. Movie number four. I feel like I only know one other musical, so... In this movie, you will experience

friendship, romances, and adventure of a group of high school kids. Hairspray. Hairspray. Hairspray is incorrect. Catherine, for the win. I'm going to buzz you out there.

Why it's greased lightning. Catherine, that was a hell of a game, mate. That went right down to the wire. You were such a worthy opponent. That was really hard. Catherine, can I say, you would have been so deserving and I appreciate you playing this afternoon. That was very close.

Well done, Brie. We'll play again next week for $1,300 cash. Kia ora, I'm Jane Yee. I'm Alex Casey. And I'm Duncan Grave. We are the hosts of The Real Pod and Confession Cam Time. We bloody love reality telly. If we sound like your type on paper,

Brought to you by the Spinoff Podcast Network and available wherever you get your pods. Let's talk babies.

Specifically, babies being born in the wrong place. A newborn baby by the name of Ella has been born in the passenger seat of her dad's new Subaru in the car park of a Melbourne hospital over the weekend. That's right. He can get a full, you know, clean. Do they offer that at the hospital, do they? Yeah, full detailing. Have they got a valet? They should. They should do that, shouldn't they? They should.

Because you're in a rush when you get to the hospital. Where someone who's pulled up to the hospital twice, you're so stressed. When it's go time, it's friggin go time. Yeah, nightmare. When Lucy was, my wife was giving birth earlier this year, I just mounted the curb and basically left the keys in the car. I was like, I'll deal with it later. I need to get her inside. And it was half because I wanted to make sure she was okay and half because I didn't want

To pay for parking. No, I didn't want afterbirth on the carpet of my car. Oh, right. Gotcha. The baby's parents, Stephanie and James, they had to rush to the hospital five minutes after the contractions began at home. Because usually, when you go into labour, they're like... She was only in labour for ten minutes. The contractions started

for five minutes and they said, get to the hospital. Oh my God. When you go into labour, usually, it can take hours. Like our first time around... It can take days. When Tui was born it took we didn't go to the hospital for 24 hours after the contractions started. That's wild. Five minutes they said

get in here and then when they got to the hospital after only three contractions midwives had to deliver the baby in the passenger seat of the car right next to the pay station in the car park. Oh my God.

The best bit is, I mean, it was clean. It was a brand new Subaru. They'd just bought themselves a new family wagon. Was it leather seats? Doesn't say. Because you'd want leather seats in this situation. You'd want something that can wipe clean. You know, just wipe it down.

It was an Outback, Subaru Outback. Oh, good. Because you've got lots more room in the Outback. Yeah, yeah, and used to getting in. It's an off-road car, used to getting into mucky situations, you know? Yeah, for sure. Is it four-wheel drive? Why does that matter?

Oh, I don't know. What's that got to do with it? I don't know. It's just more for the, I just wanted to know the specs of the car. Oh, right, right, right. I believe so. I think it's actually all-wheel drive. Oh, even better.

Yeah, nobody knows the difference. That's what you want. But yeah, baby's all wheel drive. Oh, even better. Yeah, nobody knows the difference. That's what you want. But yeah, baby's happy and healthy. Everyone's all good. I wonder how new, like how new was the car for the dad? Well, it's a family wagon, so it can't be more than nine months old. You know? That's the sort of car you buy once you know you're about to be a father.

You go, I've got to get a nice nice safe car with plenty of room for the stuff. So like at what point did they, I'm just putting it out there. So say obviously that was his car, but obviously, you know, what happens when someone gives birth? You just, it's, you don't know. So what point did they look at obviously her car, which probably wasn't brand new and then his car, which was brand new. Do you think they had a conversation where they went, which car do we take? Yeah. Just in case. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You know, and I'd be

having big regrets. Um, I, I like the logic. I think you take the car that has the car seat in it. That's the one that you go with. But I love the idea of taking the shitter car just in case you have to give birth in it. But like I said, a newer car is a more sterile environment. It's a safer place to give birth. It's true, but you're not planning on the baby coming out in the car.

No, and nor should you. I mean, take a towel just in case. But plan to have the baby inside the hospital. I mean, the Subaru is great and it can go off-road and it can do a lot of things. But, you know, being the best place to have a baby, that's one thing I don't think it can do. It's an added feature, birthing suite.

We've done this before and we got some great calls, so I thought we've got to do it again. We're going to ask you the question this afternoon. On 0800 dials at M, where did you give birth? What unusual place other than a hospital, pretty much. Other than a hospital.

Other than a hospital or a home birth that was planned. Yep. Where else did you give birth? You ran out of time. The baby had to come. It was go time

and you ended up pushing it out where? Or maybe it's you. Maybe you were born in a really weird place. You know, maybe your mum has never let you forget the fact that you were born in the McDonald's place. You know, maybe your mum has never let you forget the fact

that you were born in the McDonald's drive-thru because Dad had to get a hunger buster on the way to the hospital because he knew he was going to be hungry during the delivery process. I'd kill him. And he said, this is going to take hours. And then you push it out while he's still ordering his meal. Can you imagine? I would just literally, I would kill him.

I'd be like, you are going down. You better enjoy your last meal on earth. 0800 dial ZM. You can text 9696. We want to know this afternoon, what was the unorthodox place that the baby came? Bree and Clint. We're talking about babies who just decided they had to come

and they were given birth to an unorthodox place. Remember the last time we did this, someone called up and said they gave birth in like aisle seven of a supermarket? No, I don't remember that one. You don't remember that? I remember the lady who called up and said she was born on the floor of a, like a dirt floor of a hut. Where was that?

I don't remember where it was, but I just remember going, oh, that is not where you want. Not sanitary. That's not where you want. Not sanitary. That's not where you want an open wound. No. You know? No. I mean, people have done it for centuries, I'm sure,

but you'd give anything for some nice clean lino at that stage, wouldn't you? Yeah. Great text coming in. Someone was born at the big day out. We can't get them on the show, but, man, you would be a cool kid if you were born at the big day out. That is very cool.

I wonder if they're a musician now. What about the person who texts through and they said, my friend was born on the Gore Bridge. Shout out to Gore and the Gore Bridge. You'd never be able to cross that bridge without your parents or you going, you know, I was born here. I was actually born here. Can you imagine like the two people obviously that, you know,

they're like, okay, what's our plan for when you go into labour? And then the husband's like, oh, we'll cross that bridge when we come to it. Save us, Trudy. Hi, Trudy. Hi, Trudy. Hi. Did you give birth in a weird place or were you born in a weird place? I gave birth in a weird place.

I'm sorry to the road. Talk us through it. Tell us all the gory details. From Thames, and we were heading to Waikato. Yeah. And I got as far as Waihau, and I told my husband to stop because I could feel the head between my legs. Oh!

So side of the road, passenger seat birth. On the side of the road, just past the Waihau pub, and when we drove away after I had her, we drove away, and I said her middle name's Cara. Cara because she was born in the car. That's cool Trudy I like that. Did hubby have to deliver the baby? Obviously. No I did. Oh you did?

I did he was freaking out. God talk about having to do it all Trudy jeez. Now was the car given a special clean after this? Did you treat yourself to one of those valet treatments? I didn't need to because me shorts were down on the ground and everything went nicely in those.

Trudy, you sound like my type of woman. Just true blue, you know, to the point, gets the job done. Did you even bother going to the hospital or did you turn around and go home at that stage? No, no, no, we went to the hospital because it was the 4th of January, so all the holidaymakers were going home too. Yeah, right. I thought you were going to say, you know, we went to the hospital

so I could get some of those, you know, sweet drugs. No, I didn't get none of those. No, the job was done by that stage. Sounded like you didn't need them. You just get straight in there and get the job done. Cara, that's classic. Let's talk to Katie. Hi, Katie.

Hi. Much like that last story, Let's talk to Katie. Hi, Katie. Hi. Much like that last story, you've had a car birth as well, but very recently. Yeah, yeah. Actually, 10 weeks ago to the day yesterday. Wow, so this is like really recent. Yeah. Talk us through it.

Not really a lot to say. We were pretty much, the baby was just ready to arrive. So we just, we got in the car, um, water's had broken. And unfortunately we turned about, I think we were 500 metres up the road. Um, and I turned to my husband and said that the baby was in my pants. Wow. Oh my God. Can I just say as a fellow woman, that is terrifying to me.

Is it your first one? Was it the first one? No, it was my second. Okay, a little bit more calm? Yeah, yeah, it was, but I must admit, we were just in shock, like, as soon as it happened. But my husband sort of turned to me and said, oh, should I pull over? Because literally the baby was on there in my tracksuit pants. And what said, oh, should I pull over? Because literally the baby was on my tracksuit pants. And what do you do? Do you pull over?

Because you either pull over or you go, no, drive faster, right? Yeah, yeah. So we pulled over. I want to know, Katie, have you still got those tracksuit pants? I am wearing them right now. Yeah. Yeah. They're special pants.

They're your baby birthing pants. That's amazing. They really are. And I'm embarrassed to say that the seat still hasn't been cleaned. Oh, hey, you know what? You've been busy. Wait, wait, wait, wait. It's been 10 weeks.

You're a newborn. It's not your job, Katie, but send him out there to clean the – get a rug doctor. Yeah, yeah. Get a bit of Jeff on there or something. Thanks, Katie. We appreciate it. Finally, Tanya's here.

Hi, Tanya. Hi, Tanya. Oh, hi. How are you? Good. You've had two unfortunately located births. Yes, yes. First one was my son who turned 17 yesterday,

but I had moved up to, I'd come up to Christchurch. I lived in Dwysel and just so I could be close to the hospital. And there was no sign. And my mum was over in Brasden. Dad was down in Dunedin. And my brother was going to Melbourne. And anyway, I was getting my groove on until Chicago was on. And next thing you know, it was happening.

So I delivered Nathan on the bathroom floor by myself before the midwife even got there. So that was the first one. Oh, my God. I can just imagine you're in the bathroom floor by myself before the midwife even got there. So that was the first one. Oh, my God. I can just imagine you, you're like in the bathroom and you're like, and all that jazz. Oh, that's so good. I just said that and said, look, you know,

I hung on to the towel rail. Oh, my God, I hope I don't pull the towel off. And then we went to the toilet. Oh, my God, I don't want to be one of those ones that threw it in the toilet. And I was only worried about whether I was going to mess up my mum's carpet. But anyway, that was the first one. But the second one was Stella, my daughter Stella.

And I was in Toa Izo again, and she arrived seven hours after my last day of work. I woke up and I thought I'd pissed my pants. And, yeah, and we kind of got the car. It was a snowstorm. My son got up. My eldest son got up. Thought it was school. It of got in the car. It was a snowstorm. My son got up. My eldest son got up, thought it was school. It was one in the morning and he was dressing in school.

Nah, mate. Nah, mate. You're not coming. Yeah, yeah. You're not coming. And then so we got in the car and it was snowing and Stella was born outside Lake Tekapo Fire Station and her dad was pretty hopeless. He just spewed his guts out all around the car 30 times, I know, because I counted my contractions with it.

Your partner spewed 30 times while you were giving birth to your child on the side of the road? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was getting annoyed because he only got to 29. I hate the old numbers. And he got to 30 in the end before Stella was delivered. Men, men, eh? Men, we are absolutely useless in those situations.

Wild. He did that with the first child. Even when I rang up, I said, oh, baby's on the way. And even when there was another city, he spewed up outside the window down in Dunedin. And then when I said Mason's arrived, he spewed up at the petrol station. There's something wrong with him.

That's out of control. Bad gag reflex, I think, Tanya. Tanya's a great New Zealander. That was a fantastic yarn. That was a great yarn, and I feel like after that yarn, I could have given birth. I think I've given birth during that yarn.

Bree and Clint. It's my birthday. It's my birthday. Bree and Clint's birthday banger. Oh, by the way, if you were calling for free Dua Lipa tickets off that song,

that is the second Dua Lipa song of the show. So sorry, you actually missed out on that double pass. There is another one up for grabs though if you text Dua,

D-U-A to 9696. Right now though, the number one song on your 16th birthday for a birthday banger. Let's figure it out and then we'll pick

Oh, buzzy. Song Madonna did for the James Bond film. Do you like it, Rachel? No. I'd have to say it's one of the worst James Bond songs I've ever heard. I secretly love that song. Do you like it for James Bond, though, or do you like it as a Madonna song? I like it as a Madonna song.

Yeah, can you see James Bond in the club just like, August all day. But I think it's a decent Madonna song at the moment. Yeah, Rach. You can't choose your birthday, Begging, your birthday chooses you. Thanks, guys. Rachel, you've been trying to get through for a while too, haven't you? I have, and I rang up yesterday, and Anastasia said,

do you want to know what your birthday banger is? And I was like, no, I'll ring back another day. No, you've got to get through. You know what? I appreciate. You said, no, I'll die another day. You're like, I just love your enthusiasm where you're like, no, I'm going to keep trying

And then you get through And it's a big disappointment for you I know Hey we've got to give you something then What do you think should we pick today For birthday banger? Yeah what would you pick? Don't put me on the spot like that

So Funky Town Work from home Or of course your Madonna James Bond song No not my one go Funky Town you reckon yep yeah

right now now I'm a bit sorry that I asked Rachel she's had a big disappointment no no there's one vote for Funky Town there's still two votes

left to go I vote for Work From Home I hate to do this, but I'm probably going to vote with you. No, don't do that to Rachel. Sorry, Rachel. Oh, cut it out. We hear that song every day. Oh, I mean, she's got

a point. I'm changing it. I'm going funky town. Nah. I'm changing it. Rachel swayed me. Rachel, this is only because we love and respect you, okay? Thanks, guys. And we appreciate your tenacity of continuing to try and get through for Birthday Banger. You too, Val. Happy Birthday Banger Day.

You won. Yay! Get on the tables, Val. Bree and Clint. All right, I know you've been stressed for the last four minutes trying to figure out the food item that we're about to face a shortage of. Look, COVID has screwed up lots of industries. Builders can't get wood. Brie couldn't get a TV for two months.

Builders can't get wood anymore. The building supply. Oh, God. Not the... I was going to say Those poor people who are dating all those builders Those poor builders partners I couldn't get a TV for months

There is a shortage about to hit The supermarkets And it's two foods That are I would say essentials Especially in these hard times One's comforting And one is just a life source. I'm thinking cheese.

Yeah. It's not cheese. Cheese is safe. Pasta. Pasta, not pasta. The two food items that apparently we're about to face a shortage of are coffee and pasta. Yeah, this is shit news, man. That's horrific. They're like two literally essentials. Yeah, this is shit news, man. That's horrific.

They're like two literally essentials. Yeah. It's a global issue, so there's nothing that you can do about it. We'll start with coffee. There have been severe frosts in Brazil and drought in Colombia, which is the coffee-growing belt for the whole world. That, along with record freight growing belt for the whole world. That, along with record freight costs

caused by the pandemic mean that coffee is about to become really expensive. That's the only little bit of light in a lot of people's days at the moment. It is, honestly. I don't smoke, but I

imagine it's when smokers step outside. You're like, I don't smoke, but I imagine it's when smokers sit outside. You're like, I just want a coffee. And I know when I want them. I want one at 7 a.m., I want one at 10 a.m., and if it's a really hard day, I want one at 12 and one at 3. Jesus. It's going to be expensive for you. I'm causing the coffee shortage.

Let's talk about pasta. This is craziness. There's an increased demand for home comfort foods. So the stock is being bought up. Along with poor harvests has pushed the price of durum wheat, the key ingredient in pasta, up by nearly 90%. 90%? Durum is ground into simonila to make pizza bases, polenta, bread, couscous and pasta.

So there looks like, I don't think they'll run out, but I think pasta prices could go. God, I'm going to have to put these Italian roots to good work. Yeah, make your own. I'm going to have to get out Italian roots to good work. Yeah, make your own. I'm going to have to get out my pasta maker and just go to town. Maybe it's time for you to start experimenting with gluten-free pasta. I do love to experiment. There's no durum wheat in a gluten-free pasta.

Hey, I'll take anything. There's also no joy in gluten-free pasta. Well, you know, that's true, but I'd take anything. If I couldn't get the real thing, I'd take it. This pandemic sucks. Like, I'm so over it. You're taking pasta from us? Yeah. And coffee?

Like, it's not letting up. You'd think by now, a year and a half in, we'd start to be getting things back, but we're not. We're starting to lose more things. It's why, like, you know what I find crazy? I always find it really crazy to see how different um produce items go up and down yeah like last week i paid i'm not joking ten dollars for a punnet of miniature tomatoes oh do you know that i've got the life hack for that what is it um buy cherry tomatoes in a can and just drain them honest to god when i figured this out it was like because we go through a thing of cherry

tomatoes all the time buy the canned ones ones. They're so much cheaper. They are nice too. They're just cherry tomatoes in juice. You just have to drain them. That's all you have to do. Bloody hell. I feel like Leopanipa on Better Living. Just to really rub salt on the wound, they're also expecting a shortage of pet food, canola oil and arthritis

medication. Oh, well I'm out. Bloody hell. Abby 2021 everybody, go and get vaccinated. It's the only way this shit's going to get sorted. Yes, and buy some pasta now. Start stockpiling. No, don't do that. No, don't do that. Panic buy!

No, don't do that. Facebook, TikTok and live weekdays from 3 on ZM. Feed by KFC. Get the full menu delivered to your door with the KFC app. Play ZM.
