For a few years, in the 1970s, the Mr Asia syndicate made millions.
Heroin creates its own market.
It acts like a form of play.
Until jealousy, betrayal and murder brought it all crashing down.
Then he just pulled out a gun, shot her in the back of the head,
and then said to Wayne, you're going to help me bury her.
This is Mr Asia, A Forgotten History.

ZM's Bree and Clint
Safe Like a Boss with KFC's 999 Wicked Pat
Tonight we are going to witness the most anticipated show
in the history of professional radio.
Their names Bree and Clint.
Hello, everybody.
Welcome to the Bree and Clint show where all of our nuts have also been removed,
but we're still standing.
Just.
Just.
Just.
It does put you off balance, puts you a bit off kilter.
Strong gust to when we're going down just like the Northland Pylon.
I can't believe that.
Imagine how bad that guy's day would have been.
Yeah.
That's a bad day at work, isn't it, when you accidentally take all the nuts off the pylon
and it comes down and what?
How many people lost power?
100,000.
Whoa!
Yeah.
Oh, my God.
Those poor people who went this fault, that was.
Is that a verbal warning or a written warning?
If you remove all of the nuts on a pylon
and the whole thing blows over in the wind, is that...
Got to be a written.
Got to be a written.
Got to be a written.
But first strike.
How many pylons?
How many pylons do you have to topple before you lose your job?
Imagine the cost.
Yeah.
Well, he wouldn't get charged, but yeah.
Yeah, I know, but someone's getting charged.
Yeah, you and me.
You and me.
Are we paying for that?
Yeah, we're paying for that shit.
Oh, well, don't feel sorry for them anymore then.
And did you see the Inter-Islander Ferry on the weekend?
What happened to them?
Ran aground and picked them.
It looked like the Titanic.
You're kidding.
No, no, no.
The front of it was up.
The back of it was down.
All the lights were on.
It was in the dark.
It was stuck in Picton over the weekend.
What, they overshot it?
Nah, the whole thing's just old and munted.
New Zealand, falling apart.
I'm going to make a bold prediction, and I hope that this doesn't happen,
but it's just come to me.
Harbour Bridge is going down this week.
Don't say that. Not falling down, but it's just come to me. Harbour Bridge is going down this week. Don't say that.
Not falling down, but it's going to be out of use.
Something is going to happen this week that the Harbour Bridge is out of use,
and you watch.
This place is just.
Speaking of things that are bloody falling apart,
the ZM Studios is not looking great either.
But what is looking great is the prize we have,
all thanks to the tool shed with Tradie versus Lady.
It's the DeWalt LED Task light, USB-C rechargeable.
It's a second-hand pylon tower.
Up for grabs on Tradie versus Lady today.
Nothing better than a rechargeable light
because you've always got it there ready to go.
It's worth $143 and we have $50 cash up for grabs.
If you want to play, call now 0800-DIALS-ZM.

The tradies on 46. The ladies on 56. 10 out in front for the score this year. The tradies on 46.
The ladies on 56. Our lady's from
Christchurch. She's 32 and she
has no spleen.
Welcome to the show
Lisa. Hi Lisa.
Hello. Born without one
or ruptured later and got taken out?
No, born with one
taken out when I was six.
Does a human being need a spleen?
What does a spleen do? It just kind of filters your blood and I've lived without it since
with no issues. So yeah, I'm a lucky one though. Yeah, nice. Kind of like your appendix. Yeah.
You don't need it. We don't really know what it does. Just take it out. You know they reckon
in like over time and I'm talking talking maybe however many hundreds of years,
humans will be born without appendixes.
Yeah, right.
We'll evolve to not need them.
Yeah.
So you'll just be born without it.
I heard that the appendix was from back when we used to eat grass.
Probably.
Yeah.
Yeah, one of our second stomachs.
I'm going back to eating grass because of the cost of living crisis.
You're taking on our tradie from Christchurch, the 30, and they've got a cat called Mittens.
Welcome to the show, Jacob. Hi, Jacob.
We're not talking about the famous Mittens.
Well, he's famous to me. Yeah. Is he ginger?
Yeah, he's definitely not ginger. Oh, he's got the
Wellington one. I was getting confused with Jacinda's cat, Paddles,
and then I was like, oh, no, that cat's dead.
Oh, wait.
Sorry to let you down, T.
But not Jacob's cat.
Alive and well.
What colour's Mittens, Jacob?
He's sort of, oh, my goodness, he's a bit of a darkish colour.
Oh, yeah?
Like a black cat.
He caught me off guard there.
He's not a black cat.
He's a, oh, my goodness. You're starting to sound like a made-up cat, Jacob, if you don't even know the colour of it. Yeah, no, yeah. Like a black cat. Caught me off guard there. It's not a black cat. He's a... Oh, my goodness.
You're starting to sound like a made-up cat, Jacob,
if you don't even know the colour of it.
Yeah, no, honestly, he's waiting for me to get home.

Up mainland flooring.
Up mainland flooring.
Bree and Clint.
How did your dog go in the World's Ugliest Dog Competition?
Got knocked out early because she's beautiful.
Do you know about this, the World's Ugliest Dog Competition?
I do follow it annually.
It is an annual event.
People take it quite seriously.
They do.
It's one of those classic American things, though,
where it's the world's ugliest dog,
but it's held in one state in America.
It's like the World Series of Baseball.
Yeah, you are the world champion.
It's like this is just an American competition.
You just played each other.
You haven't played anyone else from around the world.
There's a Tasman Marco winning the MPC and going,
we are the world champions of rugby.
No disrespect for the Tasman Marcos, fins up.
There's a new world's ugliest dog.
Who has taken the crown this year?
And I know you guys can't see this, but we'll describe it to you.
We'll describe it in all its ugly glory.
Do you remember last year's winner?
Jeez, that was an ugly dog.
That was an ugly dog.
It was like a chihuahua crossed something And it was bald
I'm thinking it must have died
Because this dog is not uglier than that dog
I've seen this year's ugliest dog
I don't think it just needs a haircut
The world's ugliest dog is
An eight year old
Pekingese called Wild Thang
I think it's quite cute
I think it's quite cute too
It just needs a haircut
It just needs a bit of a trim yeah, a bit of a trim.
It's got, as we would have said in Rotorua, a waka bush.
It is just, it just needs to go to animate and go into that bit where the dogs get their
haircut, doesn't it?
Yeah, I feel like.
At least it's real ugly under that and the hair is to hide how ugly it is.
I feel like I want to see this dog up close.
I don't want to see the dogs that it beat.
Shave that dog.
Yeah.
Like who?
It beat a dog called Daisy May.
She was a mongrel that had lost her teeth.
She'd lost her hair and she'd lost her vision.
See, that sounds pretty ugly.
She was a blind, and I know there's kids in the car,
but this is a technical term.
She was a blind, toothless, hairless bitch.
Wasn't she? She obviously was old. She's an old bitch toothless, hairless bitch. Wasn't she?
She obviously was old.
She's an old bitch. Yeah. Yeah, she was.
Dogs lose their sight and their teeth.
No, that's
Wild Thing, the ugliest dog.
Wild Thing kind of looks like, you know what Wild Thing
looks like? Wild Thing, thank you very much. Sorry, Wild Thing.
Yeah. We don't come in here
and pronounce your name wrong, do we?
Sometimes. Looks like E.T. We don't come in here and pronounce your name wrong, do we? Sometimes.
Looks like E.T. with a wig on.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. It looks like E.T. got...
Just to describe it to the people listening.
Yeah, totally.
Wild thing is a medical condition called canine distemper,
which prevents the growth of its teeth.
Oh, it's got no teeth as well.
Oh, cute.
It's also got a muscular disorder in one of its legs.
Yeah, but those things don't make it ugly. They just
make it a bit, you know, munted.
Her owner
won $5,000
for humiliating her poor dog like that.
Five grand do you win? Yeah.
Five grand? Everybody else
goes home to their dog or their cat
at the end of the day or their ferret, whatever
they're running and they say to it,
who's the most beautiful girl
or boy in the world?
Who's the most beautiful?
Yes, you are.
Yes, you are.
Yes, you are.
This lady goes home,
enters her dog
in the world's
ugliest dog competition.
Because damn,
you're ugly.
Man, you're ugly.
And I'm going to make
some money out of this.
I feel like dogs
are like kids.
Yeah.
Even if they're ugly,
you find them beautiful.
Even if they're ugly,
don't put them in a competition. And don't say it to them.
God, imagine if they held the world's ugliest
kid competition. See,
that I would go and see. You would, eh?
Yeah. But you're not, yeah.
But it's not acceptable.
Nah, it's not. But there are
some out there. What about, oh, should we hold the world's
ugliest baby competition?
Yeah, that's okay. Because there is.
Because babies don't have self-esteem.
No, but this is the thing, right?
This is the thing.
I truly believe, you know, people are like, oh, there doesn't exist an ugly baby.
Bull crap.
Have you seen Paris Hilton's baby?
There's some ugly babies kicking around.
And then they grow into their head or they, you know, they grow into their features.
Wild Thang's owner, the Wild Thang, the eight-year-old,
world's ugliest dog, Pekingese,
do you know what her owner does for fun?
What?
She raises money to rescue Pekingese dogs
from the war in Ukraine.
Oh, she's a good person.
That's a real thing.
She's a good human.
So far, she's bought seven dogs to the US
from the war in Ukraine.
How did she get them over?
I don't know.
I don't know.
And if there's a family there that are like, please take us,
they're like, I only raised enough money for these dogs.
Just the Pekingese.
Everyone else?
Women and children first?
No.
Pekingese first.
Pekingese.
And I'm preferring the ugliest ones too.
They made me some money.
Let's talk about slang. What's on the out, what's on the in
Are you up to date with this Clint?
Yeah man, word to your mother
Oh no
There's a guy on TikTok
And he
Is a nerd
When it comes to words and English and phrases.
And that's what he loves.
He studies it and he follows the trends and does that kind of thing.
He lately...
Language.
Yeah.
Linguist.
Yeah.
Linguistics.
Linguistics.
Linguini.
Linguist. A linguist. He's an avid linguist. He's a linguistics. Linguistics? Linguini?
Linguist?
A linguist.
He's an avid linguist.
He's a linguist.
Not to be confused with a cunning linguist.
Yeah, very different.
Very different.
He said that there's a particular word that he believes is on the downward trend.
Oh, yeah.
It's on the way out.
But it's being replaced with another word.
This is good for us to know.
It's good to know. I've got some audio where he
listened to this guy because he
went to Harvard for this. He went to
Harvard University. He studied linguistics
there and he knows what he's talking
about. Take a listen. I'm calling it now.
We have one month until the straight white girls
start saying I'm gagged instead of slay.
There is a lot of evidence that the word is currently trending in the gay community the same way that
slay was trending in early 2022 before it became viral. And if we know anything about how language
spreads in social media, it's that straight white girls adopt what gay and black people are saying
and then everyone else adopts what straight white girls are saying. That's exactly what happened
with the word slay, serve, tea, and mother. They all came from the ballroom scene in the late 1980s,
became viral on TikTok, And then all of a sudden
Everybody started saying it
But Slay is starting to fall out of fashion now
Precisely because everyone's saying it
Oh no
No more Slay
I was just getting into my Slay era
We're coming into Christmas soon
Yeah I was
To be honest I was just getting my head around fleek
Oh no mate that's gone
Yeah
Mate
You still say chic
Mate us straight white people over here
Just because you're getting it first,
you've got to give me some wiggle room.
Mate, I told you, you need to start watching RuPaul's Drag Race
and then you'll be like way ahead of the trends.
I'm gagged.
I'm gagged.
I'm gagged.
Seeing as you're so up with the trends,
can you use it in a sentence for us, please?
Okay.
Oh, okay.
So what are you wearing today?
I'm wearing a...
Oh, my God, you guys.
Did you see Clint's outfit today?
It's like a matching green with a matching green hat.
I'm totally gagged.
Ah, see, I can't tell what the connotations were,
whether they're good or bad.
Is it good or bad to be gagged?
It can be good, can be bad.
You know, it can be a good thing, like where you're like,
oh, my God, did you see such and such's outfit for the Met Gala? Gagged. Yeah. Like, be a good thing. Like when you're like, oh my God, did you see such and such's outfit
for the Met Gala? Gagged.
Yeah. Again, you're not
giving me whether it's good or bad.
That's good. What, producers,
what way could it be used in a negative tone?
Ooh.
Oh, you know what could be
used? Oh my God, have you seen the goings on between
Charli XCX and Taylor Swift at the moment?
Each throwing each other shade. Gagged. Gagged. Oh my gosh, have you seen the goings on between Charlie XZX and Taylor Swift at the moment? Each throwing each other shade.
Gagged.
Gagged.
Oh my gosh, did you see Clint over there just this morning?
He tripped up the stairs.
I'm gagged.
I hate this.
Do you want more?
No, I get it.
You try and spread some tea.
Me?
Yeah.
And use gagged.
No, no, wait.
Let's see if he's learnt.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And now you can use it in a negative or positive light.
Give him some time to think about it.
He's got this.
He's got it.
He's all over it like a rash.
Did you see?
Oh, my God.
Did you guys see Bree's rash?
I'm gagged.
I mean.
Clint's attempt at that, I'm gagged.
I'm gagged.
Not in a good way.
I'm not allowed to comment on this, I'm gagged.
Legally.
Brie and Clint.
It's time for the latest.
From iHeartRadio, this is the latest.
Live from LA with Dean McCarthy.
Biggest story in Hollywood over the last few days
is Justin Timberlake getting busted drink driving in the Hamptons.
Dean, he's gone back on stage and he's talked about it.
He sure has.
He's gone on stage in Chicago and that's what he said.
It's been a tough week, but you're here, I'm here.
Nothing can change this moment right now.
He actually said, I know sometimes I'm hard to love,
but you keep on loving me and I love you right back.
Have a listen to this.
Here's Justin Timberlake.
We've been together through ups and downs and lefts and rights.
And it's been a tough week.
But you're here, and I'm here.
And nothing can change this moment right here. I know sometimes I'm hard to love,
but you keep on loving me, and I love you right back.
Thank you so much.
Nah, it doesn't pass the vibe check for me.
Does it seem super genuine or like, I don't know?
I'll tell you how I feel about it.
There's no remorse.
No, that's what it is, Zayn.
Is that how it's being received over there in Hollywood as well?
Exactly.
That's what, well, you know what?
Honestly, no one in Hollywood has said too much about that today.
Like, it's sort of Sunday over here, so maybe tomorrow it might be in more on the talk of the water cooler.
But, yeah, I feel like I almost, I don't know.
For me personally, it didn't sound sincere.
He didn't sound remorseful at all.
There's no apology.
There's no, like, you know, people, a lot of people die from drink driving.
That's what it is.
A lot of people have been killed.
It's like a serious thing, right?
Yeah, that's what it is.
To me, it sounds like I'm gutted that I got caught.
Not, I'm sorry that I did something stupid which could have killed someone's sister,
mother, brother, father.
All I was thinking when he was like, you're here, I'm here. All I was thinking was someone was like you're here, I'm here.
All I was thinking was someone could have not
been here because you killed them drink driving.
You know what I mean? It's a shit take.
It is. Yeah.
It's a good reminder for everybody
that you're not risking just your life when you drink
drive. You're risking the lives of everybody else
on the road and even Justin
Timberlake can get caught so you'll get caught too.
That's the latest.
That got serious didn't it? You were
waving your finger at me. I was
copping it the most. Well I got it from Dean and then
you got it from me.
Anyway don't drink and drive. Don't be a bloody idiot.
Brie and Clint.
Brie how many kids has your dad got?
Like I said before three
that we know of. Three that you
know of. That we know of.
Me, my sister and my brother.
Three so far.
So far.
Three so far.
But he is Italian.
Bit of a stallion.
Yeah.
I reckon he'd still probably be good to go.
If anyone's looking.
Claudia, how many kids your dad got?
Yeah, four that we know of.
Four that you know of.
Four so far.
That you know of. Yeah. Four at the moment. Does his motorbike count? He calls that his fifth kid. Yeah, it that we know of. Four that you know of. Four so far. That you know of.
Yeah.
Four at the moment.
Does his motorbike count?
He calls that his fifth kid.
Yeah, it does actually.
Okay, that's five.
In which case, my dad had seven kids,
but then mum made him sell three of them.
Your mum made your dad sell three of his children?
Yeah.
God.
The motorbikes.
Imagine if someone tuned in just then.
Elon Musk has just become a dad for the 12th time
that we know of. Yeah, that
we know of. He's 52
and this is his third baby
with his current baby mama, who
by the by is someone who works for one of
his companies. They
had two twins together two years ago
and now they've got a third baby
together. Do you reckon he's just trying
to create CEOs of all the different you reckon he's just trying to create CEOs
of all the different companies that he's going to start?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
He's so rich, he's looking for tax loopholes.
He goes, right, carry the three, seven.
If I have 12, that means I can start 12 companies,
put one of the kids in at each.
Put a billion under this baby, billion under this baby.
According to the Herald, he has,
and this is their words, by the way,
at least 12 children.
Six of those 12 children
were born in the last five years.
So he's been going hard.
Since 47,
he's been going hard
in the paint.
In more ways than one.
He's got,
you're right,
in two ways.
In two ways.
He's got three with Grimes,
the musician Grimes.
Has he got three with her? Yeah, and three with this latest lady as ways. He's got three with Grimes, the musician Grimes. Has he got three with her?
Yeah, and three with this latest lady as well.
He's also got 20-year-old twins.
Okay.
And 18-year-old triplets.
God, has he had twins, triplets?
Yeah.
He had twins with Grimes, twins with the new lady.
So he's got two sets of twins and a set of triplets.
No, and he's got 20-year-old twins as well.
He's got three sets of twins.
Three sets of twins and one set of triplets.
And one set of triplets, yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
God.
Why would you keep going?
Why?
Why do you want so many kids?
Because I've seen documentaries about him too.
He's so busy that there's no way you could say he's a hands-on
dad. He might be, but he talks about
sleeping at the Tesla factory because he's got
so much going on. Wasn't there a story
allegedly, or there's that
story that went around where he had
all these hidden children?
Like secret children. I have heard something
about that, yeah. Like secret kids. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
One of them came forward and they were like, I want to get
to know my dad. I guess that's why the newspapers have to say at least 12 children.
Yeah, I believe there was quite a few stories where he covered
some of his kids up.
Even if there's ones we don't know about.
12's heaps.
12's enough.
12's heaps.
That's a whole dozen.
For one man in 2024, 12 children is heaps.
Like if you put that into context, if you buy a dozen eggs
they only get one egg
each. Exactly right. There's
one breakfast. He owns Tesla
and even he couldn't get himself a car
big enough to take all of his children. Yeah.
None of his cars would fit him. They don't make one.
He'd need to make a cyber bus.
Stuff the cyber truck
you need a cyber bus. He's got 12 to multiple women i thought we could ask
the question this afternoon on 0800 dials at m how many kids your dad got that you know of that
you know of that you found out about you found out about so far not necessarily all to your mom
maybe all to your mom but not necessarily he might have some to your mum, some to someone else's mum,
and some to a secret mum in Australia.
We don't know.
Some to his own mum.
No, that's wrong.
No, that's too far.
That was too far.
That was too far.
I didn't fully say it, though, so technically not too far.
No.
True.
Just far enough.
Exactly.
0800 dial ZM or text into 9696.
Our question for you this afternoon is a bit of a weird one,
but we'd like to know how many kids has your dad got?
Bree and Clint.
In the news today, Elon Musk has just, I was going to say he had it,
but he didn't have it.
He's just received his 12th child, 12 children, one man, 12 children.
Apparently you get the 13th for free.
Yeah, like a coffee card. Yeah. Like a, 12 children. Apparently you get the 13th for free. Yeah. Like a coffee card.
Yeah.
Like a wild bean coffee.
You have to naturally birth the first 12.
Yeah, yeah.
The 13th is free.
Yeah, it's a freebie.
So we're asking, how many kids has your dad got?
They're not all to the same woman, his,
and I don't know that all of your dads are going to be to the same woman either.
They might be.
The text seems to be that they're to multiple different women.
Like this one.
My dad had five from my mum, four from another mum,
and at least two more from other people.
And I've just had a DNA test come back this week.
It looks like there may be another one that's just popped up.
Wow.
So how many?
So that's five, nine,
eleven.
Dad's busy. You actually want
dad to have those eleven to twelve children
with different women because
much easier for a man to have
the same man to have twelve children than it is
for the same woman to have twelve
children, you know? Like it takes
much less effort for a man to
make those twelve children than one woman to make a dozen children. Definitely. it takes much less effort for a man to make those 12 children than
one woman to make a dozen children.
Definitely takes way less effort.
Let's talk to Adonia on 0800
Dials at M. Hi, Adonia. Hi, Adonia.
Hi. How many kids your dad got,
Adonia? It's not my
dad, it's my father-in-law, but
so far there's, I think it's nine
and counting, and there could be
another one that he
mentioned. Adya, how many
different mummas are we
talking in there?
Eight. So there's only two
kids with the same mum. Whoa!
Nine to eight?
I think the last one that was
discovered, the ninth kid
I think has the same mum.
So he's finally settled down on the last one.
He must have really liked the last one.
Dad two with her.
He's like, no, I think it's time for me to put down some roots.
No, there's a younger one after those.
Oh, there's a younger one.
Put down plenty of roots.
Jeez.
Okay, thanks, Antonia.
Your father-in-law has the record for people that we've spoken to.
He's got, what, eight different baby mamas?
Yeah, nine babies to eight women.
Can you imagine the communication that would take?
Can you imagine Mother's Day for that man?
If you wanted all of those kids in your life,
you then have to communicate with eight different women.
Oh, my God.
And most of them probably hate you.
Chris is here.
Hi, Chris.
Hi, Chris.
Hi.
Is it your dad that has a lot of kids?
Yeah.
Yeah.
13, to my knowledge.
13?
Your dad has 13 kids that you're aware of.
Did he get the 13th for free?
I wish.
But, yeah, as far as I'm aware, it's 13.
He hasn't really spoken much exactly of the years anymore.
Yeah.
But 13 is the number that we've been told.
Wow.
Okay, a couple of questions.
How many women are those 13 children to?
I think four.
Four?
Okay.
And...
A lot easier to wrangle four different baby mamas, eh?
Yeah, definitely.
Three to four each.
And do you guys talk to Dad?
We all talk to each other and we communicate with each other.
We've got together.
Yeah.
We've basically had a good...
Did he have the chat with you about using protection or he just...
Funny enough, he's over the West Coast permanently and I'm in Christchurch.
Right, okay.
And do you have a good relationship with all of your siblings and steps and half siblings?
We all have a good relationship with each other.
Yeah.
We just don't have a good relationship with the dad.
Oh, well, at least you've got each other.
So that's one nice thing that's come of it.
Yeah.
And you guys, you're in the South Island.
You've got enough siblings to start that new South Island NRL team.
There's 13 of you.
God, and you'll have the family chemistry, you know?
Yeah.
Dad could have been coach, but he screwed it up.
Yep, messed that up.
Rachel's here.
Hi, Rachel.
Hi, Rachel.
Hi.
How are you? This is huge.
We're good. We've asked, how many kids has your dad
got? Your dad is one of a lot
of kids, isn't he? He is.
My dad's one of 18.
Wait, to the same man?
Like your granddad had 18
kids? Yep, and with the same
woman, so my grandma and granddad.
Wait, your grandma
would have been pregnant for like 20 years.
Yes.
She was a professional pregnant woman by that stage.
She had a full career as a pregnant woman.
And there is 409 descendants from that.
Oh, my God.
And you're one of them.
Yes.
You're one of 409 descendants from your grandparents.
Yes.
Rachel, does your dad keep in touch with all of his brothers and sisters?
All of them.
Yeah.
We've actually got a family wood.
And every time a new baby is born, a new tree is planted.
And every year, everyone goes to the woodland and has a barbecue.
It's a bloody forestry at this point.
I was going to say.
Yeah, yeah.
And you are single-handedly decarbonising the North Island with that forest.
You'll save the planet at this rate.
Can I just check, your dad's parents are Catholics?
I get that all the time.
And no, they weren't.
Really?
Okay.
Trying to keep it alive, the Catholics.
They were just really, really, really, really, really, really, really in love.
In love.
Really in love.
Oh, that's lovely.
What a lovely love story.
Thanks, Rach.
Thanks, Rach.
Bye.
See ya.
She's got more relatives than I had people at my high school.
She's got more relatives than the population of Greymount.
We've got some KFC to give away with our game called
Guess the Noise.
I like to play this when there's strange noises
coming from my neighbours.
Oh, yeah?
What are they doing?
Are they having a fight?
Yeah.
Or indoor gardening?
We don't know.
I had neighbours who used to have really, really, really, really loud fights
with the doors open
and then really, really, really, really loud make-up.
Fights.
Fights, yeah.
Wrestling.
Make-up wrestling, yeah.
Both with the doors open.
It's like they wanted us to hear.
Anyway, we're going to play as a team today
to win some KFC chicken dollars.
Hunter's going to play.
Hi, Hunter.
Hi, Hunter.
How's it going?
We're good.
You're on Team Clint.
Hunter.
How good?
You're on Team Clint.
I, on my team, have Gatherer.
G'day, Gatherer.
Otherwise known as Matt.
How we doing? Yes, Matt. Hunter and Gatherer. G'day, Gatherer. Otherwise known as Matt. How we doing?
Yes, Matt.
Hunter and Gatherer.
Who will win?
Who will win?
We will find out.
Bree and I are just two village ladies
waiting for you two to return.
I hope they bring back venison.
Claudia's going to run the game.
Hi, Claudia.
Hello.
That was funny. I need a new pelt.
Mama needs a new rabbit hat.
I hope they have some berries.
It's fun role play. Okay, Claudia, what are we doing? Okay, this is Guess the Noise.
Pretty simple. I'm going to play a noise and you're going to guess what it is. There's always a
theme that goes with it and today I was tapped dry creatively.
So I did what any good person did and I turned to AI.
And I asked chat GTP what it wants me to do today.
And what did it want you to do?
All of these sounds.
There is no particular theme.
Okay, these are just sounds?
Yeah, these are just sounds.
Random sounds.
These are AI's favourite noises.
Okay.
So Bree and Clint, you guys are going first.
Everyone needs to buzz in with their name when it's their turn.
And first team to three points takes home the win.
Cool.
Brie and Clint, this is for you guys.
Clint.
Brie.
That is a champagne cork popping.
You got it.
Oh, I've heard that way too many times.
It's etched in my brain.
You don't like it.
It's okay, Hunter.
We got this, okay?
All right, gatherer.
Time to do your job.
Bring home the bacon.
Matt and Hunter, this one's for you guys.
Hunter.
Hunter.
Dog barking.
You got it.
Jeez, Claudia, this is a new low.
The champagne one was pretty good.
Yeah, I like the champagne one. Yeah. Okay, we'll see how you go with this one, Bree and Clint. This is a new low. The champagne one was pretty good. Yeah, I like the champagne one.
Yeah.
Okay, we'll see how you go with this one, Bree and Clint.
This is for you.
Clint.
Clint.
Diving board.
Yep.
How do you feel about it?
It's a bit better.
Gatherer, if you don't gather, we die.
All right?
Gotcha. You've got to bring it home in this one't gather, we die. All right? Gotcha.
You've got to bring it home in this one.
Good luck.
Okay, Matt and Hunter for you.
Hunter.
Matt.
Hunter.
Carhorn.
Yeah.
Simple.
This is where AI is at, guys.
For anyone that loves it.
Don't blame AI for your laziness.
They say AI is coming for people's jobs.
I think we're pretty safe at the moment.
Hey, Hunter, congrats.
We've got 50 KFC chicken dollars coming your way.
Legend, target.
Typical Hunter.
Always getting all the glory while the gatherers, we sit back and relax.
The Hunter and the Gatherer are the same person.
Are they?
Yes, they are.
Hunter-gatherers?
No, the hunters go out and hunt
and the gatherers go out and gather.
The gatherers aren't killing things.
I thought they were gathering things that they hunted.
I don't know.
Yeah, I don't know. I wasn't there for it.
If only there was a hunter here we could ask. Yeah don't know. Yeah, I don't know. I wasn't there for it.
If only there was a hunter here, we could ask.
Yeah.
Oh, well.
Oh, well.
Who's excited for the Olympics?
I am so pumped for the Olympic Games.
It's one of my favourite times of the year when it happens.
I find that I get excited about two or three days in.
Right.
I'm like, oh, I forgot.
There's all this stuff to watch.
I think from like when I was a little kid,
like our family would plan holidays around when the Olympics were on.
Yeah.
So we could watch as much Olympics as we could.
That's so good.
Because we were a sport family.
We loved watching any type of sports. So The Olympics was like the best time ever.
You're getting me excited for the Olympics now.
It's super exciting. Did you know it's only 32
days away? Yeah, right. It's 32 days
away for the 2024
Paris Olympic Games. It's all
going to kick off very, very
soon. And I thought we could play a
little game that I'm calling
Olympic Sport or Not.
Where I'm going to test your knowledge, Clinton Roberts,
on different events or sports that are either in the Olympics
or they're not.
This Olympics or just ever in the Olympics?
Let's go with this Olympics.
Okay, sure.
Okay.
All right, to kick it off.
Olympic sport or not?
Golf.
Ah, yes.
Olympic sport.
Correct.
Yeah.
Golf is...
I know that because Lydia Ko
is often one of our medal hopes.
Golf is in the Olympics.
Correct.
And it will be
in this Olympics as well
because sports can come in and out.
Should it be?
But it is.
It is.
What about marathon swimming?
I know that they want the athletes to swim through the Seine,
which is the disgustingly polluted river that runs through the centre of Paris.
Paris.
So I'm going to say yes.
Marathon swimming is in this Olympics.
Well done.
What about three-on-three basketball?
Not five-a-side like you're normal, like three-on-three.
Well, I know real basketball is in the Olympics.
Real basketball is, yes.
Is three-on-three basketball.
Nah, you wouldn't have both, so I'm going to go no.
It is.
Oh.
Have you ever seen that?
No.
Neither.
Why would you have three-on-three if you can have full?
It's so annoying because they've taken out certain sports,
but they've got two types of basketball in there.
We've got sevens so that we don't have to have the full rugby.
And then, okay, yeah, great.
What about breakdancing?
Oh, that was a big addition recently.
Is it in or out?
They've taken it out.
I think they put it in and they're like, what are we up to?
And they took it out.
Nah, it's still in.
Ugh.
Still in.
Will be featured at this Olympic Games. What about chess?
Who's still breakdancing?
Apparently a lot of people.
I mean, apart from the B-Boys and the Fly Girls,
but who else is breakdancing?
Chess.
Yes or no?
Is it in the Olympics?
No.
No, it's not a sport.
It's not.
You're right.
It's not in the Olympics.
What about ten-pin bowling? No. Correct. It's not. You're right. It's not in the Olympics. What about ten pin bowling?
No.
Correct.
It's not in.
Surfing.
Yes.
And then they're doing it in Tahiti.
Correct.
They are.
It will be in the Olympics.
Has been in quite a few Olympics.
This won't be the first.
Skateboarding.
Yes.
That's also in.
Yes.
Netball.
No. Commonwealth Games. Correct. It That's also in, yes. Netball. No, Commonwealth Games.
Correct.
It won't be in the Olympics.
Rock climbing.
Yes.
It was in the last Olympics and they brought it back for another Olympics.
Softball.
Ooh.
Yes.
Yes.
Because they put it in for the Tokyo because the Japanese love softball so much, so yes.
And it's got kicked out again.
Oh, did it?
For this Olympics, and then it'll be back for the next Olympics,
same as baseball.
Jeez, okay.
There you go.
Well, there you go.
The Olympic Games kicks off 32 days away.
Where are our medals going to come from this year, I wonder?
Sailing.
Oh, yeah, we always dominate the sailing.
We're dominating the rowing.
Rowing is always good to watch. A lot of our rowers are retired now, but yeah, yeah, we always dominate the sailing. We dominate the rowing. Rowing is always good.
A lot of our rowers are retired now, but yeah, yeah.
A lot about great.
Always.
Kayaking, Lisa Carrington.
Kiwis always breed good rowers, though.
Don't we?
Good shoulders.
It's time for my favourite activity,
to weigh in on other people's relationships.
Yeah.
It's fun because it's not your own. Distracts you from the problems in your own relationship's relationships. Yeah. It's fun because it's not your own.
Distracts you from the problems in your own relationship.
Exactly.
Yeah.
Exactly.
And this is an anonymous story, so no one's going to get hurt here.
But a woman has asked for advice and here's the situation, right?
So her and her husband have been together for 18 years.
They've been married for six.
Okay.
They have no kids.
Yeah.
And about four years ago, her husband inherited millions of dollars
after his mum passed away unexpectedly.
Millions of dollars?
Yeah, we're talking, it says here the in the article 16 million to be exact
r.i.p mum but r.i.p so she says because she talks about in the story that from the start of their
relationship they had always agreed to split expenses 50 50 sure um and they would never
share their finances and they lived quite happily in rented properties
for most of their relationship.
Yeah.
So they split all the bills like rent, gas bill, internet, all that.
Sure.
And she says that her bills came to around $1,200.
A month?
A month.
Sure.
Anyway, she said that their lives dramatically changed
when his mother died unexpectedly,
leaving $16 million of inheritance, as it would.
You've won dead mum lotto.
Yeah.
That's morbid.
It's a weird thing to say, eh?
Yeah, I know.
She said that they moved into a fancy new house after that.
Yeah.
But it was soon that she realised, after they moved into this very fancy house
that her husband still expected her to pay half.
So her bills went from, apparently her half of the bills went from $1,200 to $1,800 a month.
That's a big change.
It's gone up 50%.
That's a big change. It's gone up 50%. It's a drastic change.
Turns out he had her sign a prenup before they got married.
Yeah.
And he has now retired.
So he spends most of his days golfing, going on holidays, relaxing,
while she still works 40-hour weeks and says it won't be any time soon
that she will be able to retire.
And he's sitting on 16 mil.
Uh-huh.
Nah.
I'd leave that guy, eh?
Yeah.
I'd be like, mate.
Yeah.
Like, I get it.
Like, you want everything to be fair and blah, blah, blah,
but you've got 16 million.
I don't want everything to be fair.
I want my partner to retire with me and enjoy the rest of our life.
I want to go on holidays with my partner and have my partner there to,
you know, have fun and relax.
Unless he doesn't.
Unless he doesn't.
Unless he doesn't enjoy spending time with her.
Yeah, well, I mean.
He mustn't.
He mustn't.
He mustn't.
I joke, but actually he mustn't.
Yeah.
He mustn't think much of her at all.
That sounds like a horrible relationship.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Like could you imagine ever doing that to your partner?
I could not.
What if the mum didn't like the partner?
And in the will, he just never told her, but in the will it was like.
Don't spend a dime with this.
Don't give any to her.
Yeah.
She's yuck.
She's yuck.
She's yucky.
Ew, don't give any money to her.
Ew, gross.
I'd be out of there.
Yeah, that's rough.
I'd be out of there.
I think you and I
are on the same page where we're in
shared finance relationships and I know
not everybody is and that is totally everybody's
own personal prerogative. That's all
good but when you inherit 16 million.
Totally. When your position
changes and you have the ability
it's not going to hurt you
to help your partner.
You help your partner. Help him out.
Who else are you going to spend the money on?
Exactly.
You can't take it with you.
You don't have kids.
Don't have a mum.
Don't have a mum.
Who else are you going to spend the money on?
Spend it on your partner.
Jesus.
Make it so she can retire early.
Tied ass.
For God's sake.
Anyway, I'd love to know what ends up happening in that relationship.
What's this?
His bum.
That's that man trying to fart.
Yeah.
It's like a cat's bottom.
Bree and Clint.
James has called up.
G'day, James.
Hi, James.
How are we doing?
All right?
Yeah, we're good, thank you.
Who was the big sting, James? Yeah, so I
dated a girl when I moved out here and she literally
didn't spend a single dollar in about two months
I think. Two months?
Two months, yeah. How many dates do you reckon you went on in those two months?
I think I clocked it up and it was, we're talking in the thousands of dollars.
Wow.
I just moved here.
Really?
We were out all the while.
Yeah.
And then we went out one night and literally it was,
we had like a dinner and stuff like that.
And she wouldn't get an Uber home.
She wouldn't pay for a $20 Uber home.
So she just refused to pay for anything, James?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, so it just, we sat at the pub
and she just flat out said,
no, I'm not getting it.
You just said Mexican standoff.
You're like, well, I'm tapped out.
I'm not doing anything.
That was the end of that.
Yeah, wow.
What was her excuse, James,
that she just wouldn't pay for anything?
Yeah, she said that, yeah, I'm a really nice person.
I should be treated like a princess.
Oh, wow.
Yeah.
Oh, she's delusional.
Very.
Well, I'm glad you're out of that, James.
For the best, James.
For the best.
Yeah.
Shame about the two grand, but, you know.
Yeah.
I mean.
Chalk it up to experience.
Yeah, you win some, you lose some.
Yeah. And James lost about two grand, but you know. Yeah. I mean. Chalk it up to experience. Yeah, you win some, you lose some. And James lost about two grand.
Someone else texted in and they said,
yes, I broke up with my ex after 32 years of marriage
because he was the stingiest beep on earth.
One year for our anniversary, he gave me an egg timer.
An egg timer.
And when we were separating, he withheld £200,000 in an
offshore account so it wouldn't be part of
the settlement. You're kidding. Obviously
she found out about it. I'm texting
because I can't call. I'm in the middle of
editing my book called
COVID Divorce.
There you go. Look at you.
There you go. Anonymous is here.
Hi Anonymous. Hi Anonymous.
Hi there. Who was the big stingy person?
So my partner's friend, he's in a relationship
and they obviously go halves on pretty much everything.
But when he goes to the supermarket,
he'll go through the list
and if there's any sanitary items on there,
he refuses to pay for them because he says it's her problem.
You're kidding.
Yeah, so he's like, oh no, you have to pay for them because he says it's her problem. You're kidding. Yeah, it's really sad.
Yeah, so he's like, oh, no, you have to pay more
because that's your thing.
That's your thing.
What?
Yeah, I know.
I know.
It's pretty bad.
What a D-bag.
I just don't talk about it as a group.
With people like that, with men like that,
I always wonder, like, did he have a mum growing up?
He needs to be educated. Did he have sisters growing up? Yeah, like, did he have a mum growing up?
He needs to be educated.
Did he have sisters growing up?
Yeah, well, he had two sisters, so you would think so.
But, yeah.
God.
So, Anonymous, can I ask, because this is your friend,
do you guys ever comment on how crappy that is?
It kind of came out one night at a drink,
and everyone had a bit too much to drink, and they kind of had a fight about it in front of everyone.
Oh, that's so embarrassing for her.
Did they break up?
No, they're still together.
Yeah, it's kind of like untalked about.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, right.
But you guys know you've got that up your sleeve
if you ever need to be like...
100%.
It's just a big red flag, literally.
Literally a red flag.
Yeah.
I looked at my partner straight away,
like, if you ever did that.
And he would have been like,
absolutely not.
Big red flag.
I mean, big red flag.
Thanks, Anonymous.
James, who called up before,
who said that he was dating a girl for two months,
spent two grand on dates,
and she said,
I'm a nice person.
I deserve to be treated like a princess.
Someone's texted in, and they've said, hey she said, I'm a nice person. I deserve to be treated like a princess. Someone's text in and they've said,
hey, James, I'm single and I'm an independent woman.
Hit me up.
Oh, that's good energy, James.
If you're still listening, text us back.
We'll connect you guys.
Yeah, we can link you guys.
If James is single, he might not be.
He might have found a new love and moved on.
I reckon just to set the tone,
you have to pay for the first date with James.
Yeah, she would.
She's an independent
woman.
Bree and Clint.

you home or to get you to work

Oh, lovely.
To your favourite spot?
Just Lone Star.
I had a voucher, so I thought might as well.
Yeah, have a Dixie chicken all day.
You're using your voucher on your birthday?
Yeah, why not? I mean, they can pay
for the rest. Okay, fair enough.
Good on you, Tegan.
Okay, what's your birthday, mate? What year?
1999.
Alright, Tegan, that means you were 16
in 2015

Oh, yeah.
This song was huge when it came out.
Massive.

Yeah, it's not bad.
It's a good banger.
I like it.

Busy working.
Okay.
You're on your way home now?
On the way home now, yeah.
Excellent to hear.

I don't want to go.
I don't want to go.
Tell me where you want to go.
Tell me where you want to go.
Absolute ripper from Nelly.
Murphy Lee.
And no one else.
And no one else.
Just them.
Just those two.
Nobody else.

That's good.
I'd definitely give it a peek in there.
Yeah, okay.
Okay, that's good to know.
Good to know, Sinead.
Thanks, Sinead.
Let's do one more for Summer.
Hi, Summer.
Hi, Summer.
Hi.
Now, Summer, I believe you only turned 16 at the start of this year.
Is that right?
Yeah.
Okay, so you haven't been able to play Birthday Banger up until now.
Yeah.
Okay, I'm excited for this.
What was the exact date, Summer?
May the 21st, 2008.
Which means you were 16, Summer, in 2024.
So earlier this year in May.
And here's your birthday banger.
Has new music out at the moment.
Yeah, it's this.
Oh, he's got a new song.

Major Lazer and Moo from 2015 on ZM, Brian Clint. Here we go, not long ago, we would walk on the sidewalk Innocent, remember, all we did was care for each other
But the night was warm, we were bold and young
All around, the wind blows, we would only hold on to let go
Black is, fire a gun, we need someone to lean on
Black is, fire a gun, all we need is somebody to lean on
Block is, fire a gun, we need someone to lean on
Block is, fire a gun, all we need is somebody to lean on Major Lazer and Moo on ZM.
That's Lean On.
It's the winner of Birthday Banger for Tegan.
It came out in 2015.
That means next year that song will be a decade old.
Ten years old.
Oh, my gosh.
Yeah.
Is it 2024?
Yeah.
Oh, shit.
I thought it was 2023.
I was listening to someone on the radio this morning,
and they were talking about something that happened in 2018 and they were like,
it's crazy to think that that was four years ago.
I was like, no, that's six.
No, that's eight years ago.
Oh, six.
Well, you've overshot the mark there.
They undershot it.
You've overshot it.
I was close.
Next, we're going to talk about character AI.
Yeah, apparently this is all the rage
with the younger generations
and they're saying that
the amount of people using this website
is like one-fifth of the
traffic that goes to Google. Really?
Yeah. They're saying that's how
popular this is. What is
Character AI? Yeah, what even is it?
Well, I'll tell you all about it next.
AI is everywhere.
Chat GPT is the one we hear about the most.
But another website is gaining a lot of popularity,
especially with the younger people.
It's called Character AI.
Okay.
And apparently the amount of traffic that is going through this website
at the moment is just enormous.
Like people are just flocking to this website to use it.
So I'm here to tell you what it's about.
So essentially, you can go onto this website and you can talk to different characters and
have conversations with people.
What do you mean by characters?
So what I mean by characters, it could be your favourite character
from a movie or a cartoon.
Or like fictional characters.
It can be fictional characters.
It can be historical.
It can be even like characters like Jesus.
Jesus?
Or the devil.
Okay.
Like anything.
Like any character or anything. Steve Irwin. Wow. It can Okay. Like anything. Yeah. Like any character or anything.
Steve Irwin.
Wow.
It can be Steve Irwin.
Yeah.
Essentially, it was launched by two former Google engineers.
Yeah.
So, you know they're good.
And their goal was to realise the full potential of human-computer interaction
and to bring joy and value to billions of people.
Yeah, okay.
So it was to create, you know, something that was nice for people.
I wonder how much stuff there needs to be about this person online
for the AI to be able to interpret them, you know?
It's a good question.
It's a good question and I'm here to answer those questions
because I have put this to the test.
Right, okay.
I've made an account on Character AI and I have gone to the website and uploaded a small
audio clip of a character or a real person actually that I would love to have a conversation
with in real life.
Yeah.
But I can't because they're famous.
Right.
Morgan Freeman and I this afternoon had a conversation using character AI.
How much did you upload?
Literally 15 seconds of audio.
Okay.
And look, it is shaky in parts, but we've grabbed the audio
because you can have just a normal text conversation.
I opted for text and for speech.
Sure.
So he talks to you as I'm typing to him.
Yeah.
So I said, hi, Morgan.
My name is Bree.
How's your day going so far?
And Morgan Freeman, the AI version said,
Hey, Bree, nice to meet you.
My day's going pretty well.
Just taking it easy.
Enjoying the summer weather.
How about you?
Wow.
So Morgan.
Hey, hey. It's early days early days okay so just keep it a bun
i can do that morgan freeman i said nice to hear you've got some nice weather it's pretty cold here
in new zealand at the moment at the moment i'm okay feeling pretty overwhelmed lately do you
ever feel like that oh new zealand is a beautiful country. Yes, I do feel overwhelmed sometimes.
It's normal to feel that way.
What's got you feeling overwhelmed?
He's now asking and helping me.
The Morgan Freeman.
Yes.
The Morgan.
I said, have you been to New Zealand before?
What was your favourite part?
And I think it's just life in general and how busy it can get sometimes.
Any advice on how you can make yourself feel better
when you're feeling that way?
Oh, two questions in there.
Two questions.
I've been to New Zealand a few times
and it's truly a beautiful country.
The breathtaking landscapes are just incredible.
When I'm feeling overwhelmed,
I usually like to take some time for myself
to relax and unwind.
What I do when I feel
overwhelmed is take a step back, prioritize what really matters and remind myself it's okay not to
have everything figured out. What helps you de-stress usually, Bree? Why'd you talk so fast,
Morgan? Yeah, I feel like the pace was off in that one. Anyway, I just said that's great advice.
I usually try and exercise regularly and talk to the
people closest to me. Makes me feel a little
bit better usually. Really appreciate
the chat. Talk soon. And Morgan
Freeman said, why are you lying
about that exercise, Bree?
I'm a robot. I know
everything. And I said, shut up, AI.
You don't know me.
Anyway.
Look.
It's quite, you know what?
It's early days.
And you ridicule these things at your peril because it is early days.
I'm not.
And what they'll be able to do.
That didn't sound like Morgan Freeman.
But in fairness, the things that AI Morgan Freeman was saying
actually brought me a little bit of comfort and was quite nice.
And if it can do that for someone, I think great.
But isn't that terrifying because then the robots are playing
to your emotional vulnerabilities.
My issue is that's just the voice.
Like, I want to know how much data about a person do they need
to be able to respond as Morgan Freeman would, you know?
Well, that was 15 seconds of audio.
That's what I mean.
So, I mean, it's not going to be perfect, is it?
No.
No. With 15 seconds of audio. That's what I mean. So I mean it's not going to be perfect, is it? No. No.
With 15 seconds.
I know.
Yeah.
I know.
How much do we have to give it so that it like –
Is perfect.
So it is perfect.
It's got a little way to go.
How much of yourself do you have to give to it so you can upload a version of yourself, you know?
Oh, that's creepy.
So that it can do your job.
So you can live on forever as a machine.
So when you die, your family can still talk to you.
Have you seen that TV show called Upload?
No.
And it's where they take your consciousness and then they upload it.
Well, is that what they reckon we're headed towards?
Oh, I don't know if I like that.
Yeah.
I don't know.
I don't think I want to live forever.
Thanks, Morgan Freeman.
That's awesome.
Regular exercise and talking to those close to you
are great ways to cope with feeling overwhelmed.
I'm glad it helps.
It's been great chatting with you.
Take care, and I'll talk to you again soon.
I feel like I'm watching The Shawshank Redemption.
It's seamless, isn't it?
I've got the question of the day
for you all. And I've
just sold it off Instagram Reels. So everyone
might have seen this question of the day about six months
ago on TikTok. But to
me, it's a new question.
I'm always up for a question that makes
me think, which is most. And you can
all text in an answer to this, by the way.
To this. Okay.
And I'll just say before I play it,
I've thought about this quite a bit
and I think I've got the answer.
Okay.
Okay, I think I've distilled it down.
But is it going to be different for everyone?
You think so.
Okay.
But I think actually, I think I'm right.
Right.
But here's the, do not overthink it.
Let's just listen to the question of the day.
Today's question of the day is
what is the biggest animal
that you think you could fight
with your bare hands?
You've got to last, like, at least a minute.
You can't use anything.
It's just you and the animal.
Go.
What is it?
Claudia, what are we fighting?
Bare hands.
You've got to stay in the fight for a minute minimum.
Realistically, something teeny tiny.
But I'm trying to think of the biggest animal that's gentle,
but maybe like a sloth or something.
They're pretty sturdy.
They've got pretty sharp claws. Yeah, they've got big claws but maybe like a sloth or something. They're pretty sturdy. Sloth, they've got pretty sharp claws.
Yeah, they've got big claws.
They're not going to get me.
They're very slow.
They're freaky looking.
Okay.
I'll accept sloth.
I'm disappointed you didn't set your sights a little bit higher,
but I'll accept it.
Okay, shark on land.
No.
Yeah, you didn't say anything about what the arena would be.
Their natural environment.
Oh, neutral territory. Their natural environment.
Oh, neutral territory.
Neutral territory.
So what would neutral territory be?
Shallow water?
Waste deep water, yeah.
Oh, waste deep.
God, Claudia, you're a dick. Okay, no sharks.
No sharks.
No sharks.
Ella.
Okay, this sounds ridiculous, but I've had them growing up.
I know how to deal with the scratches.
A cat.
Okay. I do. I know how to deal with the scratches. A cat. Oh, okay.
I do.
I know how to deal with it.
A house cat.
Well, what the heck else am I going to fight?
A bear?
No.
Get one of those big cats.
Like a Maine Coon.
Yeah, we don't think that you couldn't fight a cat.
Yeah, that's fine.
Yeah, literally, I'm not.
Yeah.
I'm not.
Are we aiming to get the biggest animal?
Yes, correct.
Okay.
Lion?
No.
No.
But there's a lot of animals between lion and house cat.
Fine.
A koala.
Is that smaller than a cat?
I would not go near a koala.
Oh, my gosh.
The chlamydia won't get you for at least the first minute.
Koalas will scratch your eyes out.
Okay.
House cat.
Bree, what's the animal?
I've been tossing up between a few.
Look, I reckon I could easily take a large size mongoose.
Oh, mongoose.
Mongoose. Aren't they super aggressive?
Yeah.
Yeah, I reckon I could take those.
They kill snakes.
Little buggers, I reckon I could just...
It's only one.
They work in packs.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, right.
So it's just me and one mongoose.
Too wily for me, but yeah, okay.
Or a hairy-nosed wombat, the biggest one.
Oh, okay.
Because they're so placid.
I thought that was your nickname.
That's my off-air nickname.
That's her drag name.
Yeah, that's my drag name.
More like bald eagles.
I was going to say, you're the hairless wombat, aren't you?
I'm the hairless wombat.
Yeah, I would take a wombat for sure.
They're so slow.
You put them on their back and they don't move.
Good answer.
Are they a marsupial? I don't consider any marsupials. Mars wombat for sure. Okay, good answer. They're so slow. You put them on their back and they don't move. But they're big. I didn't consider.
Are they a marsupial?
I didn't consider any marsupials.
Marsupial.
No.
Okay.
Well, I know you've all been waiting for my answer.
Here we go.
Goose.
It's a goose.
You couldn't take on a goose.
I could take a goose.
No way.
I could take a goose.
I reckon I'm so scared of a goose.
They're so aggressive.
Have you been down to that park?
You're irrationally scared of them.
They're just going to pick you.
They're just going to pick you.
Have you ever been picked by a bird?
Yeah, I've been picked by a bird.
I've been picked by swans and geese.
I could take a swan too.
Have you seen their teeth though?
Where'd you meet her?
Yeah, exactly.
Soft, soft, soft body animal.
They'll bite you.
I reckon we take Clint down to Western Springs
and we set up the first ever man versus goose UFC.
Call David Higgins.
Line up the next fight for life.
Find a willing swan.
Let's go.
A swan?
What's scarier?
A goose?
Sorry, goose.
Or a swan?
A swan. Yeah. Have you ever seen a swan? What's scarier? A goose? Sorry, goose. Or a swan? A swan.
Yeah.
Have you ever seen a swan when it's like protecting its babies?
Any kind of goose too.
Any goose.
I've fight a serious goose, silly goose.
Any goose, any time, any place.
Any goose, any time.
Mate, I reckon we take Clint down to Western Springs.
Fight, fight, fight.
And you have to pat a goose on the head to prove that you're not afraid.
Okay.
Okay, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
Find me the goose.
Some early text.
A panda?
No, you could not find a panda.
A panda would rip you to shreds.
A giant tortoise?
No, you couldn't.
They'd retreat into its shell.
That's why I said something.
Like, you know.
And a goldfish.
Something small.
Someone else said Clifford the dog.
Clifford the big friendly dog
He's too friendly
I like the way that you kiss me
Still blown away that there is a man singing that song
And uh
A bit like Tracy Chapman
People were always shocked
I know
Do we have a bit of her original fast car
Sure
And then people would be like
Obviously that song was huge And then people would be like, obviously that song was huge,
and then people would be like, oh, that's by Tracy Chapman,
and people would be like, is that sung by a woman?
I know.
It blows people's minds, doesn't it?
Who's someone else?
Who's another artist that's like that?
I remember when we were driving.
It sounds like a man to me.
Doesn't it?
Crazy, eh?
I don't know.
You sit at last lay out before us and your arm feels like a man.
Beautiful voice.
Especially for a woman. Real deep,
deep range.
She's singing with passion there, that's why.
Yeah.
Speaking with a passion, I've got a passion to leave.
So have a great night everybody and we'll see you guys tomorrow.
Bye bye.
