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,
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.
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.
Hang on.
Hang on.
Hang on.
Hang on.
Hang on.
Hang on.
Yeah, that sounds good.
Oh, that sounds good.
Still going.
Sounding tight.
Sounding bright.
What's going on, everybody?
How's everybody's day been?
Pretty good.
Yeah?
Mine is, yeah, I've had a really good day.
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
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?
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.
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.
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?
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.
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
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
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.
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
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
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
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
true
true
how could your parents
let you go to a festival
at 14
how dare they
I know I look back on it now
and I've said to them
I was like
what were you thinking
would people have been
and they're like
on reflection
we don't know
but the 2000s were different what was the headline at Limp Bizkit and I've said to them, I was like, what were you thinking? And they're like, on reflection, we don't know.
But the 2000s were different.
What was the headline act?
Limp Bizkit.
Oh yeah.
Limp Bizkit. Whoa, that's pretty big.
Limp Bizkit and Ramstein.
Yeah.
Don't know who that second one is.
Ramstein.
Big heavy metal band, eh?
German heavy metal.
Oh, Deutsch.
I think Basement Jacks were there too,
but I didn't know who they were.
Oh.
Oh honey. Do they do Where's Your Head At? Is that Basement Jacks? Yeah, But I didn't know who they were Oh honey
Do they do Where's Your Head At?
Is that Basement Jacks?
Yeah, Where's Your Head At?
Yeah, I've met that one
And no, the horny one is Moose T
Although I played that I'm Horny song
When I was DJing on the weekend
Went off
Did you?
I had a funny thing over the weekend
I was on Ox and I turned on
I was on Ox, I like that
Yeah, I was on Ox
Sorry, wait, wait, no
What do you mean? Gen Z speak I was on Ox What's on Ox? on aux. That's what you said, right? Wait, wait, no. What do you mean? Gen Z speak.
I was on aux. What's on aux? No, wait, we need
to, wait, sorry, hang on.
Warning,
Gen Z speak. On aux
means? You've got
the aux cord, your phone's plugged in
to the speakers. She was in charge of the playlist.
Okay, now you're just making shit up
anyway. Okay,
Caitlin, I'm telling you now,
all of the Gen Z speak I've told you,
all of those would not be used as much as I'm on Ox.
Okay, reset.
You're on Ox.
Commonly, if you send someone a snap,
especially if it's a video, you're at a party or whatever,
they'll text you back,
hey, can't open your snap, I'm on Ox.
Yeah, got it.
Anyways, I was playing Lola's Theme by the Shapeshifters.
Yeah.
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
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
This is literally on the radio

Brie and Clint with Caitlin filling in.
Hi Caitlin.
Ngā mihi o te ahi ahi.
I'm talking to you down a Zoom screen.
It's very COVID-19.
But neither of us have COVID-19.
You've just had to go back to Christchurch.
That's right.
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.
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,
can you please stop asking questions?
We want to go home. Yeah, because you guys are trying to get your
money's worth. Whereas all the
19-year-olds are like, bruh, we've got to get
out of here because Netsky's
playing at O-Week and you're like,
you're like, I don't know who Netsky is
and I'm too old for O-Week so
I'm going to stick around. Can you please re-explain
where the needle goes?
Learning is fun.
What is the medulla oblongata?
When you qualify as a nurse,
will you be someone who's out there immunising people for COVID-19?
That's a separate thing I have to get.
Another little course I have to do to do immunisations.
But yeah, maybe.
You want to do it?
I don't know.
Yeah, absolutely.
Imagine if you get to immunise someone famous,
like the Prime Minister.
Wow.
Yeah.
Shit.
I would be so nervous.
Can you imagine?
And she like screams.
Yeah.
And you could never tell anyone
because of the Hippocratic Oath.
You'd be like,
guys, you'll never guess who I immunised today.
And they'd go, who?
And you'd go, well, I can't tell you.
Not allowed.
Well, I probably wouldn't even say, yeah.
I'd just be incognito.
Good.
That was a test. You're going to be a great
nurse. Today on the show, we've got your chance to

Back to the cows.
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.
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.
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.
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,
go off,
like,
do whatever you're into.
Oh,
yeah.
Second of all,
quite skillful,
I feel,
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,
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
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
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.
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
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
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,
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.
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,
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.
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.
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?
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,
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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?
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,
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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?
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
thing that you've either said or heard
in an interview, give us a call
on 0800DARLS.M or you can
text it in to 9696 as well.

Brie and Clint.
ZM, Brie and Clint with Caitlin filling in for Brie.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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,
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
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,
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,
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?
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.
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,
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.
Bree and Clint.
Every week we give you the chance to become New Zealand's greatest Googler with Google Down.
Google, are you down, down, down, down, down, down, down?
What the hell?
I think Google's actually...
Brie will be turning in her grave that I didn't do a pun about Google being down.
Also, she's not dead, by the way.
Can you stop saying she's turning in her grave
She'll be turning in her
Nice hotel room
That she's staying in
Whilst filming a TV show
Oh I bet it's really nice
In a hotel
Oh
You gave away a little secret
That she's in a hotel
Yeah I've spoiled everything
Okay
This is where we
Go head to head
At Googling things
Whoever gets
Three correct answers first wins the game.
It's you, Caitlin,
versus me, Clint,
versus you, Producer Ben,
versus you, Charlotte.
Hi, Charlotte.
Hi.
Hi, Charlotte.
You're representing the people today.
You're Googling on behalf of all of New Zealand.
No pressure.
Well, that's not a lot of pressure at all, is it?
Get your fingers ready. Get your fingers moving. Okay, Caitlin. on behalf of all of New Zealand, no pressure? Well, that's not a lot of pressure at all, is it?
Get your fingers ready.
Get your fingers moving.
Okay, Caitlin.
Sorry, sorry, sorry. For the record, Charlotte is a returning loser to Google Down.
Hey, hey, hey.
Sorry, I phrased that wrong.
She's here for redemption.
She's played before and she's here for redemption.
Okay, Charlotte, just a quick recap.
Don't call out your name.
As soon as you think you know the answer,
just yell out the answer.
The correct answer is the most popular answer on Google.
Children are not allowed to help you.
That is against the rules and you will be disqualified.
I have a two-and-a-half-year-old currently asking me
for more hundreds of thousands Whittaker's chocolate
even though he just ate the last two pieces.
We better get going then.
Anastasia, when you're ready, let's Google.
Awesome. So the first question
to type into Google is, what
year was the Titanic
released? 1912.
What? What, the movie?
Did you just know that? 1997.
Wait, the boat or the movie?
It's 97.
I got 1909.
That was when it sunk.
Yeah, that was a little bit confusing,
but as we always do, Clint,
it's whatever comes up in Google,
and what comes up in Google is the movie.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I was going off the top of my head.
Okay, one point to who?
One point to producer Ben.
Yep.
Awesome.
The second question is,
what is 32... That kid really wants some hundreds and thousands. I know. There second question is, what is 32...
That kid really wants some hundreds and thousands.
I know.
There's none left, buddy.
What is 32 squared?
Squared.
I can't spell squared.
Hang on.
Oh, my internet sucks.
5.6.
5.6.
1,024.
I'm going to give that to Clint.
Yes.
You were really close.
That's one for each of the boys.
Sorry, I was harder to find that one.
That was harder.
Mine came up as the square root of 32.
Oh, wow.
You probably didn't Google it right.
Yeah.
Third question.
How old is Tiger Woods?
I just watched the docker.
I should know.
45?
I'll give that to you, Ben.
Was that you, Charlotte?
Did Charlotte say it as well?
Yes, she did.
I'll give it to you because of the phone delay.
Actually, yes.
Yes, that is fair.
We're sitting at a point each.
Everyone except for Caitlin.
You nearly had a game, mate.
I'm concentrating.
I'm getting really sidetracked by the cute kid.
Everyone, what is the population of Canada?
37.59 million.
37.59!
I'm sorry, Clint.
You're going to come away with that too?
Yes!
All right, Caitlin, you're officially out of the game.
I'm sorry.
Damn it!
You're a spectator at this.
I will go look after the kid.
Great. Okay, Charlotte, you're still in this. Ben, you'reator at this. I will go look after the kid. Great.
Okay, Charlotte, you're still in this.
Ben, you're still in this.
Good luck.
When were cars invented?
1886.
17th century.
Yeah, I got 20th century too.
I got the 17th.
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.
But Clint said 1886 first, so we'll give him because he was the closest.
The point is, which means Clint is our winner today.
Well done, Clint.
Sorry, Charlotte. Two times the charm. I've got to do this again. Well done, Clint. Oh, sorry, Charlotte.
Two times the charm.
I've got to do this again.
I know, you've got to do it again.
Yeah.
I feel like, what's your kid's name, by the way?
Riley James.
Riley James.
Riley James.
We need to find something for Riley James.
Wait there, okay?
You were too bloody cute today, Riley James.
I'm trying to find you a pie.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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!
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.
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.
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
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,
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
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,
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,
back down,
mum.
This is probably going to make it worse.
Like Ross is going to be like,
hi,
Jane.
Yeah.
No.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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?
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.
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
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.
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?
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Unfortunately, it was during daylight hours.
No!
Hey, thanks for not a misgrate call.
Thanks.
I'll go see your boss. Does
11 o'clock tonight work?
Okay.
Ha ha ha ha! Bree and Clint. I'll go see your boss. Does 11 o'clock tonight work? Okay.

You were 16 and you were rocking out to this. Da-na-na-na.
Oh, my God, learn.
Maybe not, like, rocking out.
Maybe just, like, sidestep, like, super chill vibes.
Yeah.
Do you like your birthday banger, Daily?
No. She doesn't. No, she doesn't. Fun fact from producer Ben, that song did go Daily? No.
She doesn't.
No, she doesn't.
Fun fact from producer Ben,
that song did go to number one,
but it only went to number one for one week,
and the song that took off
the charts was
Robin Thicke, Blurred Lines.
Yeah, that's much better.
Oh, sorry, Daily.
Isn't that song cancelled?
I thought that song was cancelled.
Yeah.
But, I mean, yeah, you're right

Brian Clint
I need to
ask the team
a question
and I need
an honest response
I need 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 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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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
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
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?
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.
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.
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
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
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
