Starting point is 00:00:00 Hello everybody, welcome to the Bree and Clint podcast with Caitlin. Hello! I'm actually just still mixing all the music for the radio show. I'm still pushing all the bits together. I'm eating broccoli and chippies. It makes me sound like I'm always eating chippies. Just so you know, I didn't get chips the other day when I said I was going to get chips. I like how you ordered a burger and to be healthy you got broccoli,
Starting point is 00:00:25 but you also got the chippies. Well, you can't have a burger without chippies. No, you're right. I'm not burger shaming you. I'm just, does, yeah. Do the chippies cancel out the broccoli or does the broccoli cancel out the chippies? I'm not trying to cancel anything.
Starting point is 00:00:39 I'm just eating it all and fucking loving it. Wait, this is a podcast. I say whoops. Yeah, you're right. Okay, sorry. Hang on a second. I say whoops. Yeah, you're right. Okay, sorry. Woo! Hang on a second. Hang on.

Starting point is 00:01:06 A Google down day is always a good day. You don't get to play anymore. Is that okay for you? I kind of like being authoritative. It's like you're the carryover champion and you can't lose now. It's almost better. I do miss the rush though so I'm
Starting point is 00:01:21 excited for when Bree gets back. Anastasia's just running the game until Bree gets back. She sounds like an addict, eh? I know. She's like, so I'm excited for when Brie gets back. Anastasia's just running the game until Brie gets back. She sounds like an addict, eh? I know. She's like, I love taking charge. I think my parents would prefer me being addicted to Google Down and not other things. Then not what you are addicted to. Again?
Starting point is 00:01:39 Again, we're making it sound... Listen to this podcast. No, no, it's just the way you said it. It's the way you said it. It's the way you said it. Vaping. Oh my gosh. Can't stop, won't stop. We've got a lot of vaping this weekend.
Starting point is 00:01:52 Whoa. Hey, talking about this weekend. Caitlin and Anastasia are going to a festival. Not together, they're just going to the same festival. Anastasia doesn't want to hang out with me because I'm not cool enough. Oh, you're too cool maybe. Sorry, Caitlin, you're the one who said we're not going to hang out and I said we're going to hang out.
Starting point is 00:02:13 Anastasia, I'm a little bit. Yeah, I'm just a little bit older than you and I'm going to need to sit down. That's literally what I do half the day. Bring a deck chair. Sit down. I like to chill at the back. Oh my God, bring a deck chair. Can we bring a deck chair? That'd be cool. Do you want to know the cutest thing ever? The first festival I ever went to day? Bring a deck chair. Sit down. I like to chill at the back. Oh, my God. Bring a deck chair. Can we bring a deck chair?
Starting point is 00:02:25 That'd be cool. Do you know the cutest thing ever? The first festival I ever went to was Big Day Out in Auckland, and I came up from Rotorua to go to it, and I stayed at my nan's house. And when I woke up the next day to go to the festival, and I put all my sunscreen on, and I was ready to go, and I came out to the kitchen, and my nan was standing there at the table, and she goes, I've made you some food to take to the festival.
Starting point is 00:02:44 She'd cooked me a you some food to take to the festival she'd cooked me a whole roast chicken to take she cooked me a whole roast chicken she got me some buns and she also got me a 1.5 litre of Sprite
Starting point is 00:02:55 to take oh my god wow and two bags of chippies full sized bags was it just you guys yeah it was me and my cousin
Starting point is 00:03:02 oh yeah oh okay did she think it was like did she think it was like that like big Christmas out thing where you can... Yeah, she thought it was like a picnic. Christmas in the park? Yeah, Christmas in the park. She thought you go, put a blanket down, and just sit there for the afternoon.
Starting point is 00:03:14 I've actually seen a photo of you. I remember, did you post it a while ago where you were wearing the flame outfit? Yeah, yes. Yeah, like speedies? It was that big day out. Yeah, that photo And in the picture I'm wearing one of those Remember the single strap backpacks that were big in the 2000s
Starting point is 00:03:29 Where did Nan think I was going to put the roast chicken A chilli bin She wanted you to take a chilli bin She was going to give you one of those So it was the equal sweetest and most heart breaking thing ever Because I had to say to my Nan I don't know what time she got up and roasted me that chicken But just be like Nan I will smash that when I to her You should have just pushed it and dumped it
Starting point is 00:03:48 So you should have just like dumped the chicken and then left all the non-perishables Eat it when you get home when you're drunk I think there's logic in both things that you're saying. I think both would have worked I just didn't either. I went oh nan can't take a chicken
Starting point is 00:04:02 It's not very nice I wouldn't have said it like that how much would have a drink costed at big day out that many years ago I don't know I was 14

And my friends started getting really angry about how Northern Bass Shapeshifter hadn't played Lola's Theme. Oh, because they didn't know the difference between Shapeshifter and the Shapeshifters. Yeah, which was a really big Gen Z issue
Starting point is 00:06:00 because obviously... They don't know either of them. They don't know who... Well, they know who the Shapeshifter are. You know how to prevent that issue next time? What? I told you the 90s are wild This was on the radio

Guys, I'm a student and I'm back at uni. Do you know what's really great about mature students is that we ask lots of questions.
Starting point is 00:08:13 We're not afraid. You know how when you're like a uni student and you're like, oh, I don't want to ask any questions or if you're on Zoom, you're like, I don't want to ask any more questions because it'll make it go late. As mature students, we ask questions until the lecturer's like,
Starting point is 00:08:24 can you please stop asking questions? We want to go home. Yeah, because you guys are trying to get your money's worth.

Starting point is 00:14:06 Now Luke has all of this knowledge that he can use at the pub quiz and the weekend. Totally. And balls. Totally. There's a man in Arizona that has gone to extreme lengths to get out of work. Now we all do the old, like, oh, I've got food poisoning. It's coming out of both ends. You know, make up these stories. We even, like, go and be like, oh, yeah, I'm, like, oh, I've got food poisoning, it's coming out of both ends, you know, make up these stories.
Starting point is 00:14:25 We even, like, go and be like, oh, yeah, I'm, like, really not very well. You know, the fake voices and the fake things. Or depending on how woke your boss is, you might go, hey, I'm having lady issues. Yes. And your boss just goes, don't say anything more, don't say anything, please don't tell me anymore, just have as much time off as you need.
Starting point is 00:14:43 Please, please just don't tell me anything. And then, like, Ross, our woke boss would be like, I don't tell me anymore. Just have as much time off as you need. Please. Please just don't tell me anything. And then like Ross, our woke boss would be like, I don't care. He'd be like, come in, I'll get you a wheat bag. Yeah. But this man in Arizona went to the extremes of faking his own kidnapping. So he bound his own wrists, he gagged himself and invented a story about treasure hidden in the desert. The police are like, we know that you faked this and you're now arrested.
Starting point is 00:15:15 Because you can't put out a missing person for yourself if you're not missing. Good news, you don't have to go to work. Bad news, it's because you're going to be in prison. So mission accomplished. First of all, raunchy, kinky, go, it's because you're going to be in prison. Yeah. So, mission accomplished. First of all, raunchy, kinky,
Starting point is 00:15:28 go off, like, do whatever you're into. Oh, yeah. Second of all, quite skillful, I feel,
Starting point is 00:15:34 to gag and, like, hog tie yourself. I loved it. You'd have to get into some tricky positions. Yeah, because they wrote it in quotation marks,
Starting point is 00:15:42 he stuffed a bandana in his mouth. And you know how, like, when you're watching movies and you put something and they always like stuff something into their mouth, I'm like, surely you can just like spit it out? That's what I think too, yeah. Because I... No, they usually
Starting point is 00:15:55 stuff it in and then they put tape over it. Oh, okay. Yeah. Oh, uncomfortable. So that you can't make any noise. So the thing soaks up all the sound waves and the tape keeps it on. Look, it really sounds like we're doing a how to kidnap instructional segment here, which we're not. That's not what we're doing. No, what we actually want to do is a how to lie your way out
Starting point is 00:16:15 of going to work segment, I think. Yeah, I think so. I mean, hopefully no one's done something as drastic as this. I mean, yeah, again, he's in prison now. So hopefully you haven't imprisoned yourself. Yeah, sure. What was the lie that you used to get out of work? It might have worked and it might have not worked.
Starting point is 00:16:30 We don't really care. Have you done it before, Clint? Of course not. Do you think? I mean, like your previous jobs, not here at ZM. I, one time when I was working at the Luge in Rotorua, didn't want to go in. So I said I sprained my ankle while I was working at the luge in Rotorua didn't want to go in so I said I sprained my ankle while I was
Starting point is 00:16:47 walking down the hill after working at the luge and they went and I was like oh I just need some like a day to recover that's fine this is really serious we need to get you in to fill out like a health and safety form oh no and we actually have to lodge this is going to be quite a major for our
Starting point is 00:17:04 ACC situation. And I was like, I'm actually feeling a lot better. I don't want to be a burden. I'll just come in. Did you have to limp around for the rest of the day? Yeah, just a little bit. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But you always forget, whenever you're doing a fake limp,
Starting point is 00:17:18 you always forget halfway through the day. I know, and which leg? And then you like switch legs and then you're like, oh no, it's a sore head. Oh, 800-DAL-ZM. Or you can text us on 9696 this afternoon. I know, and which leg? And then you like switch legs and then you're like, oh no, it's a sore head. And yeah, not good. 0800-ZM. Or you can text us on 9696 this afternoon. We'd love to know what was your lie that you used to get out of work.
Starting point is 00:17:34 We can keep you anonymous if you're still on that job too. That's totally fine. Bree and Clint. People are being really naughty. Sorry, I'll preface this. If you've just tuned in, hi. We're talking about your lie that you use to get off work. And people, as I said, are being very naughty. They're coming up with, someone said,
Starting point is 00:17:53 I had a baby scam my wife really needed me to get off work early for, not even sure if the wife was pregnant or not. If your wife is pregnant, you've got nine months to use as many excuses as you like. Because it's a good one. It's a good one. Because you don't look like a lazy employee.
Starting point is 00:18:09 You look like a good father. You know? Yeah. I really got to be there for her. She really needs my support. They'll just respect you more. Oh my God. You're so great.
Starting point is 00:18:18 Another, just quickly another text before we go to the calls. I told my job that my koko had, is it koko? Is that how you pronounce it, Clint? In what language? Tereo Maori. Koro. Grandfather. Koro?
Starting point is 00:18:30 Yeah. Koro? Had passed away. He had passed away a year earlier, so I just didn't completely lie. So he had passed away. He had passed away, but she wanted to get the time off work,
Starting point is 00:18:44 so use that excuse again. I guess each dead grandparent that you've got, you've got one pass card for each job that you do. But then you're like, this is your eighth grandparent. You don't want to tempt fate and be like, my brother passed away, if he's still alive. But if your grandparent's already passed away, free pass? I don't like lying.
Starting point is 00:19:08 Let's go to someone who wants to stay anonymous. Hello, anonymous. Hello, how are you? Good. Give us your lie that you use to get out of work. Okay, so I wanted to party one Saturday night when I was younger, and my work had put me on that night to work, and I said to my best friend I was like hey what sport does your boyfriend
Starting point is 00:19:28 play and she said rugby league and so I said to my boss I said sorry I can't come in like I've got rugby league practice tomorrow It is so random that you had to ask your friend what sport her boyfriend played just so you had an excuse
Starting point is 00:19:42 I don't have business playing sport. Like, if you look to me, you'll just, like, kind of laugh. Like, I just don't look like I play rugby league whatsoever. Let alone rugby league. No rugby league in the history of sport has ever had training on a Sunday or a Saturday night, by the way. I don't know. I just didn't think it over.
Starting point is 00:20:00 I just knew I was desperate. Did they believe you? Did they believe you? No. Oh, no. So did believe you? Did they believe you? No. Oh, no. So did you have to go to work anyway? No, no, I didn't go to work, but I did get in trouble many times. No, she had to join a rugby league team.
Starting point is 00:20:15 Corey's here. Hey, Corey. Hey, Corey. Good. You sound like a man who could lie his way out of work. What did you use? I told him that my wife was pregnant. Right, okay.
Starting point is 00:20:28 Was she? Well, first of all, I never had a wife, and it was just at the moment sort of spare. He didn't know what to say, so it's a great excuse. I got caught. Yeah, I'll bet you did. Fake wife and fake pregnancy. Corey, did you have to go to like a work barbecue and bring a fake wife with a fake baby?
Starting point is 00:20:49 How did you get around it? Well, I got around it quite easy because my work mate told the boss on me and I got told off the next day and sent to the office for a verbal warning. This just goes to show lying never works, everyone. Imagine Corey at the Christmas party and he starts hitting on someone at the Christmas party and they're like, oh my God, I think Corey's about to cheat on his pregnant wife. It doesn't exist.
Starting point is 00:21:15 Bree and Clint from iHeartRadio. This is The Latest. Live from LA with Dean McCarthy. Dean, big news today about Tiger Woods. He's been in a serious car crash. What's the latest? Here's the deal, right? So he was in a single car accident.
Starting point is 00:21:31 Looks like a rollover. He was driving a luxury Hyundai Genesis. He suffered serious leg injuries and was found unconscious, but was conscious when the first responders arrived to the scene. So more details still developing on his safety. He's alive and conscious. But, yeah, it was a pretty intense crash.
Starting point is 00:21:52 He was driving around. It was one of those courtesy vehicles which had all the branding and everything all over it, and then he lost control, went over a lane and rolled the car. It was pretty horrific, actually. So he's lucky that he's alive. I hope he paid for the courtesy car insurance, you know? Because I saw this and I saw the car that he flipped
Starting point is 00:22:12 because I always assumed Tiger would have like a Bentley or like a Lamborghini or something. Yeah, that's what I thought. Yeah, so hopefully he signed the insurance. Also, it shows how intense the crash must have been because those cars that he's driving, very safe. Like the modern cars, incredibly safe. And for him to have broken both of his driving, very safe. Like the modern cars, incredibly safe.
Starting point is 00:22:27 And for him to have broken both of his legs, which is what they think has happened, he must have, I don't know. And there's no other car involved. He must have been hooning it. I saw a statement today because everyone's speculating because he had those issues with prescription painkillers when he had his back issues as well. And I think he got caught driving under the influence. And people were speculating, oh, was he impaired, basically?
Starting point is 00:22:48 Yeah, yeah. The latest on that is that there's no reason to suggest that he was. Okay. That's good. Yeah, scary stuff, eh? Yeah, that car's pretty total. Yeah. Okay, that's the latest on Tiger Woods, live out of Los Angeles,
Starting point is 00:23:03 with our Hollywood correspondent, Dean McCarthy. Brianne Clint. I shared a meme to my Instagram story yesterday. Side note, I feel like you can tell a lot about people by the type of memes that they share. Yes. It's like a window into their personality, right? Yes, because that's why you're sharing it, right?
Starting point is 00:23:22 Because you're like, I relate to this. This is me, yeah, yeah. Yeah, and then everyone's like, oh, you're weird, you're sharing it, right? Because you're like, I relate to this. This is me, yeah, yeah. Yeah. And then everyone's like, oh, you're weird. You're weird. Yeah. Another side note, someone who shares really good memes is Ross Boss. He does.
Starting point is 00:23:33 He's weirdly really good at curating the memes that he shares. Annoyingly, he refuses to change his Instagram handle to Ross Boss. So I'm not going to plug his Instagram. Yeah, I was going to say, why are you playing it? Are you wanting some time off or something? Is that why you're giving him credit? No, I just think he deserves credit where credit's due. Right, but not if he's not going to change his name to Ross Boss.
Starting point is 00:23:52 Anyway, I shared this meme yesterday, and I don't know what it says about me, but I thought it was funny at the time. It says, no more job applications asking if they can contact previous employers. Like, why are you so insecure? Don't worry about my exes. Let's focus on us. It's also the way that you've read it. I love how you read it and you changed your voice.
Starting point is 00:24:10 Right, okay. Well, if you saw it and you're like, I don't get it, that's how I interpreted it. Yeah. Someone who is a recruiter, they're a recruiter for a job, so they interview a lot of people. It's literally their job.
Starting point is 00:24:21 DM'd me and they said they wouldn't believe some of this, that we wouldn't believe some of the stuff that they've heard in job interviews before. Really? I was like, I love this stuff. Please tell me more. She said she was interviewing someone once and she asked the very standard question, any criminal convictions? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:36 And they're allowed to ask that question. And the guy responded, not unless you consider being good looking a crime. Oh my God. He got the job. Oh my God. He got the job after saying crime. Oh my God. He got the job. Oh my God. He got the job after saying that. Oh my God. The recruiter was like,
Starting point is 00:24:48 yes, go off and gave him the job. Do you think that he said that and was like, what have I just said? And didn't regret? Yeah. Did she say any other ones? Yeah, she said that she asked a candidate, you know how they get you to list your strengths and weaknesses?
Starting point is 00:25:05 Yeah. And they're like, what are your strengths? And they're like, oh, yeah, PowerPoint, editing, video, whatever. I said, okay, and what about your weaknesses? And they replied with women. Oh, my God. Like, you know that those are going to be the questions, so go in with your answers.
Starting point is 00:25:25 Like, my weaknesses, I care too much. My weaknesses, I work too hard. Don't go in with saying women. Do you think that person was trying to be crack up or do you think they were trying to be honest? They're like, you know what, I want to go in here and I'll just be honest with you, I'm a sucker for the ladies. Unless you're, like, trying to be a comedian
Starting point is 00:25:41 and get a job through that way, don't make jokes, like, in an interview, I don't think, because you never know what way it's going to go. Also, get a job through that way, don't make jokes in an interview, I don't think, because you never know what way it's going to go. Also, no one's hiring that guy. If women are genuinely your weakness, you're not getting a job in 2021. Sorry, we can't risk having you on.
Starting point is 00:25:57 She also said that someone else, this is not so much a question, but put down on their references their mum. Oh, I'd probably do that. Best hype girl ever. Yeah, but they put down on their references their mum. Oh, I'd probably do that. Best hype girl ever. Yeah, but they put down their mum. Yeah. And they said, this is mum.
Starting point is 00:26:11 Yeah. The recruiter called mum as a reference. Like, okay, no, we'll follow through. I'll call mum. Yeah. And mum took the call and pretended to be an employer. Oh, dear. Oh, dear.
Starting point is 00:26:26 At which point I hope the recruiter just went with it You've got it I'll just play along Because you'll break mum's heart if you go We know that you're the mum If you're going to lie Make sure you're doing it right Get all your pieces in order first Yes
Starting point is 00:26:40 We want to know this afternoon Maybe you are a recruiter Or maybe you're a boss And you've had to conduct a lot of interviews before. What is the weirdest thing that you've heard in an interview before? Yeah, because I'm about to apply for a job to be a nurse at the end of this year when I finish my degree. Yes. And I want to know what not to say.
Starting point is 00:27:00 Yeah. I need everyone to tell me what went wrong and then I'll go, right, I'm not going to say that and I'm not going to say that. Yeah. I need some I need everyone to tell me what went wrong and then I'll go, right, I'm not going to say that and I'm not going to say that. Yeah. Or maybe you had an interview and you said the wrong thing and on reflection you know and you're comfortable enough now to share it with us, we'll take your call as well. Yeah. It'll be funny. We can laugh about it. The weirdest

Starting point is 00:28:25 Brie's back in a couple of weeks. She's off filming a TV show at the moment. And we're asking you this afternoon, what did someone say in an interview? I had some messages from a recruiter yesterday who gave some absolute gold that she's had to deal with in interviews, like asking someone what their weakness is, and he replies, women.
Starting point is 00:28:50 I would like to say thank you so much, Lucy, for texting in and saying that when you applied to work at a cafe that you said that one of your struggles was that you drop things a lot. Yeah, thank you for messaging that in. And I'm really hoping that you did get the job, but it sounds like you might not have. I think you have to lie a little bit. Like you have to, not lie, but just sort of mask the truth a little bit. Like be honest.
Starting point is 00:29:12 If you're a surgeon and one of your weakness is dropping things, then yes, be honest. But if you really want to get a job at Starbucks and you want to get better at not dropping things, then lie. You know? Just lie. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just lie.
Starting point is 00:29:24 They'll feel bad for you initially. I mean don't say that you can go to Starbucks and say I speak fluent French because that's not a lie that's going to be able to work but the dropping thing. Let's talk to Ruth. Hey Ruth. Hi. Was it you
Starting point is 00:29:40 that said something in an interview or what did you hear? It's what my partner heard when he went for an interview. Go on then or what did you hear? It's what my partner heard when he went for an interview. Go on then, what did he hear? So he was applying for an office job at a new company. So he currently already worked in an office job. And when he was explaining to them
Starting point is 00:29:56 what makes him so good at his current job and how qualified he was for it, they actually half seriously said, are you sure you want to work here? He's overqualified. Yeah, yeah. Dude, do you know where you're coming? I couldn't believe they said that to him.
Starting point is 00:30:14 Did he get the job? Yeah, he got the job and it worked out really well because he actually ended up getting paid more. They're like, damn, we've got to find this guy a raise. He's really good. Okay, thanks, Ruth. That's nice. Let's talk to Mike.
Starting point is 00:30:27 Hey, Mike. Hey, guys. How are you doing? What went down in the interview, Mike? So I used to recruit for office administration jobs for a recruitment agency, and I had a candidate come in, and she had a company name on her CV that after doing some research, I couldn't find anything about.
Starting point is 00:30:47 Like it wouldn't come up on Google, wouldn't come up on LinkedIn, just couldn't find anything about this company. And her job details were really vague as to what she was doing. Yeah, right. So in the interview, I was trying to probe and be like, you know,
Starting point is 00:31:01 tell me a bit more about this company. And she was like, oh yeah, they're in the entertainment industry. And I was okay what were you doing there and she was getting really shy really vague about it and after probing as much as i can it turned out that she was a receptionist for um uh an adult entertainment um new ah that'll be why yeah and she was real yeah so she'd obviously used, like, the legal entity name of the company, which nobody would recognise. She would be, I reckon she would have been using the name
Starting point is 00:31:31 that comes up on your FPOS receipt when you go to those facilities so that your partner doesn't know that you've been to your facilities. She's like, yeah, she's like, yeah, I used to work for Car Parts Incorporated. Exactly, yeah, yeah, yeah. And I felt so bad for her because she was really embarrassed and I had to say like, you know,
Starting point is 00:31:49 look, there's nothing to be embarrassed about. You know, if I put you forward to, you know, if I put you forward to a client of mine, you know, these questions are probably going to come up and it's okay to be honest as long as you're a professional. Yeah, own it, you know,
Starting point is 00:32:01 like you don't know what they're actually looking for. You might have the skill set they need. I like the text message that came through that said, we had someone who didn't know going to jail was a criminal conviction. His reason was because he didn't do his full sentence. Finally, Steve, what went down in the interview, man? What did you hear?
Starting point is 00:32:23 Hey, how's it doing? Well, I was going for a captain's interview in London and the guy who owned the boat came down dressed in a nice little short miniskirt. The guy doing the interview was in a miniskirt? Yeah, he was fully into drag. Okay. Nice guy.
Starting point is 00:32:38 Oh, right. So he wasn't doing it as a gag? No, no. This was his normal thing and he was just making sure that I was okay with it. Okay, well then the onus is on you, Steve. How did you react? I was like, yeah, okay, fantastic, no worries. Yep, do what you want to do, whatever floats your boat. No, Steve,
Starting point is 00:33:00 you did not say whatever floats your boat for a job as a captain on a boat. You did not. You did not say whatever floats your boat for a job as a captain on a boat. You did not. You did not. You did not. Mate, I'm an Aussie. You hide on the spot. You drop that kind of gear, you can captain my ship anytime, Steve. Thanks, man. Here we go.

Starting point is 00:37:20 Development started as early as the 17th. Those are all wrong. You're going to have to re-Google that. See, I would have known it. 1886. Okay, well. 1886, what I said the first time. What's coming up for me is 1885.

Starting point is 00:38:02 Bye. You be a good boy and sleep for mummy. I don't think he's going to if he gets the chocolate. If you're a paranoid partner and you think that your ex is maybe cheating on you or at least hiding things from you on your phone, this is going to make it worse. Okay. This is an iPhone hack, which I found on TikTok today.
Starting point is 00:38:22 TikTok, TikTok, TikTok. Which allows your partner to disguise any app on their phone as something else. Oh. So, look, if you need reason to go snooping, maybe I'm about to give it to you. Or maybe this is just helpful. Maybe you're hiding things for good reasons. Maybe you want to hide the birthday present app that you've got. Yeah, or that you're going to propose or that you've booked a holiday.
Starting point is 00:38:49 Maybe, maybe. Or maybe you want to hide Tinder. Well, that's what everybody is suggesting that it's for. So this guy talks really fast, but this will give you the gist of what the heck is. Listen.
Starting point is 00:39:01 I'm going to show you how to disguise any app as something else. In shortcuts, hit create and add the action open app. Select the app you want to hide and add it to your home screen like so and change the name and image to whatever you want and now this looks like the weather app but it opens up something different what it what it does is so you get let's take tinder for example yeah then go into the settings of Tinder, rename it, call it period tracker or whatever app
Starting point is 00:39:27 you don't think your partner's going to open. Yeah. And so the name will be different. I don't need to know about that. I won't open that one. Yuck, I don't want to open that app. Why are you assuming that the girl's cheating? No, I'm giving it to you in terms
Starting point is 00:39:43 that you could use. Okay, all right. Okay, okay. Got defensive. Sorry, carry on. I'm out here trying to relate to you. I know. Sorry, sorry. Sorry, Clint.
Starting point is 00:39:50 Period tracker was about as close as I could get to relating to you. So you can rename it lady app, whatever you want to call it. Okay. And then you can make the icon anything you want. So you can get the icon from the actual period tracker app or you can call it weather or you can call it anything and when you touch it it opens up the app that you're actually hiding. Boom!
Starting point is 00:40:11 Oh my god! Whoa! Whoa, what else are they hiding in that phone? You're going to have to open every app and find out now. Oh no, this is just making people really insecure about their relationships. Or maybe, yeah. Show your partner making people really insecure about their relationships. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:26 Or maybe, yeah. Show your partner the TikTok. And if they say to you, yeah, I already knew that, then you've got reason to worry, okay? You need to get paranoid. Get worried straight away. Uh-oh. Brie and Clint.
Starting point is 00:40:38 Brie and Clint. Caitlin's filling in for Brie. And we were chatting about this the other day. I can't remember what brought it up, but you told me about a situation where your parents nearly called Ross Botts on your behalf. Yeah. We were talking yesterday about how
Starting point is 00:40:51 my mum will wait up for me until I get home from a party. No matter what time of hour it is, she will be sitting there waiting for me. Yeah. Super cute. Super cute. And again, this is really cute, but also I'm like, mum, I'm 30. So when I was starting out in my old job, spoiler alert, it was there at ZM,
Starting point is 00:41:12 I was getting like a little, I think I must have been getting like a little bit stressed. Like it was a heavy workload. I can be quite dramatic. So I'd like call mum all the time, like crying. And I'd be like, I'm so tired. And I remember one day mum was just like I'm going to call Ross, I'm calling Ross
Starting point is 00:41:30 I'm going to say you know Caitlin needs to be, you just give us, she needs some more sleep she needs some time off she was really like about to get on the phone and at the time I was like mum that's so sweet like thank you so much but I'm like 27 and I don't know if you can like,
Starting point is 00:41:47 it's not like I can't, it's not like your mum calling your teacher being like, Caitlin's getting bullied at school. Yeah. And hard to know if that's actually helpful for your career prospects. You know? I know. I had to actually be like,
Starting point is 00:41:58 back down, mum. This is probably going to make it worse. Like Ross is going to be like, hi, Jane. Yeah. No.
Starting point is 00:42:04 Okay. I'll go and have a talk to your daughter. Good point. I hadn't seen it through your perspective. I'll go now. And I'll also make a bed for her. You get it though. Like you can imagine like if you're – because she's only getting one side of the story. She's only getting your side.
Starting point is 00:42:18 Totally, totally. And it would have been so dramatised. Yeah, and you'd go, they are working my daughter like some kind of slave. This is inhumane. I need to sort this out. So did your mum ever end up following through and calling Ross? Nah, nah.
Starting point is 00:42:35 I actually had to tell her to back down and I was really nervous that she was going to and so I was like, no, no, no, everything's all good now. All good, all good. Because I've also wondered in a situation where it's like a pay negotiation, you know how it's really uncomfortable to say that you think you're worth more money? It's really hard in any job to go, hey, I think that you should give me money.
Starting point is 00:42:57 Yeah, yeah. Why? Because I want some. Would your mum be good in that situation? Because everyone's intimidated by a mum to call them up and go, look, what you're paying my daughter is ridiculous. She's worth at least twice that. And if you don't give it to her, you're going to get a smack bottom.
Starting point is 00:43:14 Yeah. It's like we're adults. We are adults. And my mum at 27 would have had three kids. And so, but I'm like, mum, can you please call my boss? Please, mum. Can you ask for a pay rise I wonder if anyone listening's parents have ever followed through and called their boss yeah um have they called in to stand up for you have they called in to yell at your boss on your behalf
Starting point is 00:43:39 or like we said have they called in to to get your pay rise? And did it work? Yeah. Was your boss scared of your mum? Is this a life hack that we don't know about? We want to know this afternoon on 0800 dials ZM. You can text us as well. Did your parents call your boss? And how did that go? And are you still employed there? Get on the phones to us. We'd love to talk to you
Starting point is 00:44:01 this afternoon. And turns out that your mum nearly called Ross Boss here at ZM to lodge a formal complaint. Yeah, I was calling her in hysterics because I was tired. It was probably my fault. Like I like to burn the candle at both ends, so I was out partying and stuff. But I made it seem like I was really, really stressed and tired
Starting point is 00:44:25 and mum's like, you know what? I'm calling the boss. By the way, this was Caitlin's first stint at ZDM. It's not this time around. Like, I'm not the problem. Oh, no, no, no. This is like six years ago. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:40 You're great, Daddy Clint. But it is so funny some of the text messages coming through where mums and dads have had to call up. I love how one person said that their mum got full mama bear on someone and took in a medical certificate because their employee didn't believe them that they were sick. She went in there and was like, uh-uh-uh, here's the medical certificate.
Starting point is 00:45:06 Don't you talk to my daughter like that. It's turning out to be way more common than we thought. Lisa's called up. Hey, Lisa. G'day, guys. How you doing? Good. Who called your boss?
Starting point is 00:45:16 No, no. It was the other way around. I'm the mother who escalated a bullying complaint from the local store through to head office because the local store wasn't dealing with it for my daughter. Whoa. First of all, Lisa, good mumming. That's like your round of applause.
Starting point is 00:45:35 How was it received by head office? Were they intimidated? Because I would. If anyone's mum rang me about anyone, I'd be intimidated. Well, I used it the other way because I'm an HR manager myself. So I basically went to them and said, look, as an HR professional, this can't be swept under the carpet. You guys need to look at what you're doing here
Starting point is 00:45:59 and how you're going to rectify this issue. Because it was a serious bullying issue in the workplace. You hit them with the professional one too. Like, bam, here's the law. Bam, I'm also their mum. Yeah. I need you on my side as well. You're a boss.
Starting point is 00:46:15 Let's go to Emma. Hey, Emma. Hi, how are you going? Good. Are you the mum? I can hear a kid in the background, but I imagine that kid's not working yet. Yeah, I'm totally not. Did your parents call your I imagine that kid's not working yet. Yeah, unfortunately not. Did your parents call your boss?
Starting point is 00:46:27 Well, they didn't end up calling them. They actually had to come into work. So when I was like my first job as a teenager, I worked at a fast food restaurant and I was on my restricted license, so I wasn't allowed out driving after like 10 o'clock. Yeah. And my manager wouldn't let me go
Starting point is 00:46:44 and I kept on asking her, I said, oh, it's illegal for me to not go. like 10 o'clock. Yeah. And my manager wouldn't let me go, and I kept on asking her, I said, oh, it's illegal for me to not go. But then my mum ended up coming in, but she also happened to be sober driving my dad at the time. Oh, dad. And then mum kind of got really airful. My dad then gave her some more airful.
Starting point is 00:47:04 And then on the way out, my dad pulled a finger at her. Yes, drunk dad. And then I was way out, my dad pulled a finger at her. Yes, drunk dad. And then I was thinking, oh, you can go home. And it wasn't until like a couple of weeks later that I actually found out. I was just like, you know your dad pulled a finger at me, right? Yes, dad, that's brilliant. Do you know that you deserved it? This person wants to remain anonymous.
Starting point is 00:47:21 Hi, anonymous. Hello. Hi there. I was a duty manager at an adult entertainment club. Yes. And my parents went and met with the owner and got me a $5 an hour pay rise. Whoa. Yes, mum and dad.
Starting point is 00:47:37 What was their technique? How did they manage that? Oh, they just sent the owner an email like, we're going to have to talk to you about our daughter because she's not being paid enough. So were your parents okay with you working in an adult entertainment venue? Well, the reason it came about was that I tried to resign and the manager wasn't keen. So my parents went, well, in that case, we'll take over.
Starting point is 00:47:56 This is smart. Your parents, because they've got a bit more time in the game, were like, well, you've got some value here. We need to leverage this. It got me, it paid for me to have my first trip to the UK, so it was fantastic. There we go. Wonderful. And Dad got to visit the strippies, even better.

Starting point is 00:54:54 by Brian Clint I need to ask the team a question and I need an honest response I need to know
Starting point is 00:55:01 if I'm a bad neighbour okay I'm going to explain what I did and I know it's probably frowned upon but how big a deal is it I don to know if I'm a bad neighbour. Okay? I'm going to explain what I did and I know it's probably frowned upon, but how big a deal is it? I don't know. It starts with, where do we
Starting point is 00:55:09 all stand on putting rubbish in other people's wheelie bins? Absolutely fine. Can I go first? Yes. Oh, sorry. You go, Ben. He's just absolutely fine. What do you think? Absolutely fine. Because I've done this when I've been out. I don't have a dog, but I often walk people's dogs and when I've got the poo bag and I'm like, there is a red bin right there.
Starting point is 00:55:27 Please let me put it in there. But then like sometimes I've seen like neighbours like, you know, and they like push the curtain across and they're like. Interesting thought. Because flipping the stakes for a second, I would be a bit miffed if there was dog poo in my wheelie bin because I don't have a dog. But you wouldn't know about it. Yeah, I know.
Starting point is 00:55:44 But yeah, exactly. But no, I get it. You would know about it if the rubbish had been collected and you hadn't bought your bin in yet. Oh yeah, that's different. Yeah. And then maybe if the bag burst. But let's remember, I'm no saint in this situation.
Starting point is 00:55:57 I haven't said what I've done. Right. But you two are both pro putting rubbish in other people's wheelie bins? Yes. It depends what it is, but yeah. Anastasia? Yes, if it's on bins night, you can put it in.
Starting point is 00:56:07 If it's out on the road. If it's on bins night. But if that's their normal bin and you're filling it up and they need to fill it up and there's no space, you're a terrible person. Right, so going onto their property and putting my rubbish in their bin on non-rubbish night, that's a no?
Starting point is 00:56:19 That's, I mean, that's trespassing. Cool, yeah, no, got it, got it, got it, got it. No, so what I did is I did put stuff in my neighbour's wheelie bin and it was on rubbish night. Great. Okay. That's fine. And their wheelie bin was only half full
Starting point is 00:56:34 and I took full advantage and I filled it to the top. You're doing them a favour, mate. The reason that I had to fill it to the top was that this week we have an overflow of dirty nappies. Oh. I knew you were it to the top was that this week we have an overflow of dirty nappies. I knew you were going to say that. Do you think that the rubbish truck people like judge people on
Starting point is 00:56:54 what's in there? Because what if this is like a couple that, yeah, but well, no, but like what if they're going past and they're like, those people don't even have a baby. What do they do with all these dirty nappies? You know, like what if someone saw that this person had all these dirty nappies? You're fine. You think it's fine?
Starting point is 00:57:11 100%. I did it last week. You put dirty nappies in there? Sorry. I do not have a child. No, we always have this issue that our recycling bin, we have too many drinks on the weekend, so we just fill up our neighbours.
Starting point is 00:57:26 I know, I know. See, now your neighbours... But I think that's different. I think someone's... I think your recycling is different to me filling your wheelie bin with dirty nappies. No, but the thing is that they're on the top. They're not actually going to touch the bin.
Starting point is 00:57:37 The odour's not going to stay there. Correct, correct. It's just that you're... None of them were leaking. Are we not caring about What other people think about us Like people are going to think That your neighbours Anastasia
Starting point is 00:57:47 People are going to think That your neighbours are alcoholics And they're going to be like We don't even drink It's the teenagers next door They're going to think that We're a good time Our royal flats
Starting point is 00:57:58 Yeah And that everyone enjoys And drinks responsibly What will they think about us With all the pooey nappies I know That's what I mean. If it's after 9pm and they've put the bin out,
Starting point is 00:58:08 they're probably asleep and it's fair game. Sweet, okay. Oh, someone's just texted and said it's illegal to put rubbish in someone else's bin. Hey, do you know what? That's probably because if you murdered someone and put it in someone else's bin, then they'd go straight to that person and arrest them.
Starting point is 00:58:27 So that's why it's illegal, right? Right. Man, we're taking this to extremes, aren't we? Yeah, I feel really bad now. Just don't do it, Clint. Don't do it. Okay? If it's illegal, all of that was hypothetical.
Starting point is 00:58:38 It was just a... Oh, you're just saying. Yeah, it was just a... Just a what if. Maybe just put a couple. Bree and Clint. We've got some space news, everybody. Yeah, I love space news.
Starting point is 00:58:54 Is this Star Wars? This is Star Wars, yep. I get confused between Star Wars and Star Trek. Everybody does, except for people who love Star Wars and Star Trek. They hate it when we get that confused. I know. I'm sorry, Vaughn. He would not be impressed.
Starting point is 00:59:10 Today's Space News comes courtesy of producer Ben, who's keenly watching the arrival of the new Mars rover craft. Is that right, Ben? Always listening, always watching Space News. Ben, is it coming back to New Zealand? No idea. What? I mean back to New Zealand? No idea. What? I mean, not New Zealand.
Starting point is 00:59:28 What? Oh, my God. I thought we were the only people on the – No. Sorry. Not New Zealand. But they've put it there. And are they bringing stuff back?
Starting point is 00:59:37 They will eventually. They're going to bring some rocks back. Yeah. So the Mars rover has just got there. And for the first time ever, we've got the sounds of Mars to play. It's got a microphone on the outside of it. It's rolling. And we can hear what it sounds like on Mars.
Starting point is 00:59:53 Yeah. Exciting. This is big deal. So are you ready? I'm a little bit scared. Yeah. Do you want to hear what it sounds like on Mars? Yes.
Starting point is 01:00:03 This is big. This is big stuff. Okay. Recorded from the Mars rover, ladies and gentlemen, this is what it sounds like on the red planet. I'm an alien! I'm an alien!
Starting point is 01:00:19 Whoa! Okay, I was legitimately scared just then because I was like, what is that? Was that Chandler? Was that Chandler from Friends? No, no, no. Okay, that was a gag. That was a gag.
Starting point is 01:00:31 That was a gag. Okay. This is recorded live from Mars. This is what it sounds like on Mars. Are you ready? Oh, stop it! Whoa! Steven Spielberg.
Starting point is 01:00:46 Stop it, because I actually am getting real scared. Okay, one last time. This is actually it. This is actually it. This is actually what it sounds like on Mars. This is recorded from the outside of the Mars rover. Okay, so there's wind. Yeah, that's it.
Starting point is 01:01:06 That's the whole recording. What's that, like, zzzz? I think that's the sound of the rover. I think that's the sound of it. Oh, okay. Boring, eh? How much more exciting would it have been if it was... I'm an alien!
Starting point is 01:01:18 I'm an alien! And people laughing. Anyway, that's your space news. We don't get it often, but when we do, it's good.
