ZM's Brie and Clint.
Good everybody, welcome to the Brie and Clint show after a long weekend.
G'day guys, happy short week.
Yeah, how good's a long weekend?
Oh, it's bloody good.
How good's a long weekend when it finally starts to feel like summer?
Yeah, yesterday was beautiful.
Got to go out on my friend's boat.
Yes.
I'm friends with someone that's got a boat.
You've got to have a friend who has a boat.
It's a small boat, but it's nice.
Having a friend who has a boat is better than having a boat.
Yeah.
Because you don't have to look after the boat.
A boat is a money pit.
Yeah.
So I will happily pay you for petrol, diesel, whatever the boat takes.
I'll bring the drinks.
As long as I don't have to, you know.
House the boat.
House the boat.
Repair the boat.
Pay Red Joe.
Paint the boat.
For a trailer.
I nearly had to go wheeze off the side of the boat yesterday.
Humiliating.
Have you guys ever had to do that?
Yeah, but I'm a boy.
I just stand on the side and wee off the...
Oh, yeah.
See, that's easy.
Yeah.
So my options were
that they... Because we were going through
the harbour back home.
Yeah. But it was like a 45-minute
trip and I could either
A,
they stop the boat completely
and I jump in. Oh, and do an ocean
wee? Do an ocean wee, but I wasn't
wearing togs.
Okay, so just piss yourself in the ocean.
Yep.
Yeah.
And then second option was that... Hang your buttocks over the edge of the boat?
Yes, hang my buttocks over.
And wee down the side of the boat?
Try not to, yeah, christen the boat with my wee.
Try and not get any on me or the boat.
Yeah.
Or the last option was a container.
Yeah, go in a bottle.
Mate, do you know how the female anatomy works?
No, I have no idea.
There is no going in a bottle, let me tell you for free.
Can I push a bottle up to it?
Mate.
Fill the bottle?
Mate, you know how much would go in the bottle?
Not much.
Right.
Unless you are very talented.
Forget me.
Which option did you go for?
No comment. You got in the ocean did you go for? No comment.
You got in the ocean, didn't you?
Did you piss yourself in the ocean?
I took my stuff off.
Oh, did you get naked and get in the ocean?
Yeah.
And then this big, like, catamaran boat went past.
Yeah, full of fairies like, hey, Bree.
Oh, God.
Wow, your boat trip sounds glamorous.
Damn, wish I was there.
That sounds like fun.
It was rich and famous, you know.
Yeah.
Okay, let's get into the show.
We're going to play Tradie vs. Lady next.
Where the Tradies are not staging a comeback.
You never know.
But they are not.
Could be the start of it today.
If you want to play, 0800 dial ZM.
Brie and Clint. Time for Tradie play, 0800 dials at M. Bree and Clint.
Time for Tradie vs Lady.
It's Tradie vs Lady.
Three, two, one, let's go.
All right, guys, another week.
A short week, but that doesn't mean the Tradies can't get back on track
or the Ladies can't open up their lead.
They're sitting on 98 for the year. The Tradies can't get back on track or the Ladies can't open up their lead. They're sitting on 98 for the year.
The Tradies on 87.
Our Tradie is calling us from Hamilton today.
They are 21 years old and they played a golf tournament over the weekend.
Welcome to the show, Jake.
G'day, Jake.
How we doing?
How'd you go in the golf tournament, mate?
Oh, third, but not what I wanted, but can't complain.
Third?
That's not bad.
Third's not bad.
Third out of how many?
20.
Can I say, Jake, how long have you been playing golf?
Since I was like eight.
Oh, right.
Okay.
Yeah.
I was going to say, because 21...
Takes ages to get good at golf.
Takes a long time to get good.
You're taking on our lady today.
They're calling from Auckland, the late 30s-ish.
And they just inherited a duckling.
Welcome to the show, Sharon.
G'day, Sharon.
Hi, how are you?
Good, thanks.
What's the duckling's name?
Squeak.
How do you inherit a duckling?
So the kids went to work with their dad,
and the next minute came home with a duckling.
Okay, yeah, one of those.
Is it living in the bath?
I imagine it's living in the bath or the sink.
No, not yet.
It's in its nice little coop with a heat lamp.
Yeah, Kate.
Oh, it's that small?
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, that's tiny.
Oh, okay.
You're taking on Jake, which you've already established,
and your buzzer is lady, and Jake, your buzzer is tradie,
and the first one of you two to give us three correct answers
gets $50 cash from KFC.
So good luck.
Here we go, guys.

In which city was their hiding place?
It's where they met Heineken.

I've always wanted to go to that house.
Yeah.

Sharon, you need this one here to stay in it.
Question number three.
Buzz in when you can tell me who sings this song.

No, not Fergie.

We love it.
It keeps you in it.
Two to Jake, one to Sharon.
Question number four.

You guessed your way to victory.
There you go, Jake.
$50 cash. Thanks to KFC coming your way.
Thanks, guys. Spend it on
some golf balls? I don't know. What can you get for $50 that's good to do with golf? Just balls,, guys. Spend it on some golf balls.
I don't know, what can you get for 50 bucks that's good to do with golf?
Just balls, eh, Jake?
Not much, to be honest.
Some teas.
You can get some teas.
That follows.
You can get some beers on the 19th.
That's a good point.
Bree and Clint.
G'day, everyone.
Hope you had a beautiful long weekend and you're feeling fresh and ready for the short week, I just want to take a second to talk about something that is small
and, you know, not a big deal, but it enrages me.
Yeah.
I've talked about.
So starting the week on a positive note.
Yeah.
Yeah, good.
That's how I like to, you know, start my weeks is on a positive vibe.
Yeah.
I think a few months ago
I spoke about one of these. It's a small
thing, not a big deal, but it just
riles me up so much
which is when people don't know
how to merge in a zip lane
and it holds up all the traffic back
onto the motorway and it gets really
dangerous. Go to the front of the queue.
Go all the way to the front.
Go as far to the front as you can and then slide in there.
That's all you have to do, right? Yeah.
Yeah. It's not rocket science.
You can go. Like there's a whole lane
for you to merge. Just go.
Anyway, it's not
that's not what I want to talk about today.
That's not the small thing that really gets
my goat. It's the fact that
when you're on a lift
when we're on a lift, can we all agree that when you're on a lift, when we're on a lift,
can we all agree that when you're on the lift,
you are travelling in the lift, whether you're going up or down,
it doesn't matter, but you are in the lift,
when those lift doors open, you are the person that exits the lift,
that leaves the lift first before anyone else is allowed to get on.
It's not the doors open and then people get on and then you have to try
and shuffle around them to get out.
The courtesy and the common practice is that when the doors open,
anyone that needs to get off the lift gets off the lift
and then people then can enter the lift.
It's the same with the bus.
Same with the bus.
Because if you play it forwards, if it's a full elevator full of people
and you decide to go in before anyone comes out,
then you're going to be packing the elevator full of people like sardines.
I agree with you.
God, it enrages me.
I don't understand how people – do people not learn this?
I mean, I know we don't learn it at school.
No.
But I feel like we should have
a class at school that teaches you
common courtesy. Kind of like
modern etiquette.
Because I think back in the day you were taught
things like which hand to
hold your knife and fork in. I'm not using that junk
anymore. I need to know these common
etiquette practices. It's like
when you're on an escalator, you stand
to one side always
in case someone is in a hurry and they need to go up.
That's the one I was going to say.
Is it?
Yeah.
People who stand too abreast on the escalator, move over.
Some of us are fast walkers.
Some people need to get to where they're going.
Some of us don't have time to enjoy a leisurely escalator ride.
Okay, we've got places to be.
Although very fun.
We've got things to do.
And I'm sure if we had time.
Move over.
You know, when I've got the time.
Yeah, hug the rail.
I love to ride that rail.
Hug the rail.
But when I don't have time, and I always stand to the side,
but the elevator thing really gets me.
It's been happening to me quite a lot lately.
Well, you and I use a very busy elevator.
Very busy.
Where we park our cars.
Yes.
And it just means that when people are doing that,
it makes things slower.
It does because then you're like, oh, oh, I'll just, oh, oh,
I'll get around you.
You shouldn't have come in.
I should have went out for it anyway.
Anyway, we feel better.
Anybody want to complain about anything?
Ella, you've got two hands up.
Yes, producer Ella.
I need to get this off my chest.
Yeah.
What happened?
So when we're in the line at like an ice cream shop
or a little fast food takeaway place,
you're in the line, people get to the front,
and then they're all of a sudden like, oh.
Then they decide what they want.
Oh, that arranges me as well.
You've had the whole time in the line to figure out what you can order.
It's right there up on the wall.
Same with the drive-thru.
Yeah.
Same with the drive-thru.
What?
These people, like, you know, you've just been waiting in the line with us.
So bad.
You know how long we've been here.
Know what you're going to get.
Triggered.
Triggered.
What's worse is when you're with the person that hasn't decided what they want.
I disown them.
You're the people.
If my partner does that to me, I disown them.
I'm like, I'm not with them.
I'm not with them.
I'm not eating with them.
All right, okay.
Let's take a break and get a breather.
We'll come back.
Claudia can do hers and let's do everybody else's as well.
Yeah, I'd love to hear your guys' ones.
You can have a whinge with us.
You're annoyed you're back from the long weekend
and we'd love to hear the small
things that people do
but it just enrages you.
Oh, Andrew Darzadim, what do you hate
about people? Oh, how long
have we got? Well, you can text it to 9696
as well. And we'll have you on
next.
Talking about those little things that
happen. And it's not a big deal. It's not
the biggest deal in the world, but it just enrages you.
It just fills your blood.
Yeah.
You can't help what the thing is that really tips you over the edge,
and it can be the smallest thing, but when it happens over and over and over.
Oh, it just really gets you.
The thing for me at the moment is when people, you're in the elevator
and the doors open and they don't wait for you to get off the elevator before they get on.
The courtesy is that people in the elevator get off and then you are allowed to enter the elevator.
Unless you're people who don't think about their order until they're at the front of the queue.
Claudia, you look like a person who gets annoyed easily.
It's true.
What is it for you?
When you're at the supermarket and they stop their trolley Right in the middle of the aisle
Instead of pulling over to the side
Pull to the side
Pull to the side
How am I meant to get
My trolley round yours?
I barely can drive
This thing as it is
This is good that this is
The things that upset us
You know
Means our life must be going okay
It's not a big deal
Yeah yeah
Molly's here on 0800Diles.im
Hello Molly
Hi Molly
Hey team how are ya?
Good thank you
Have you started the short week in a
negative rage just like us?
Oh, yeah. Nothing worse than
going back to work. Oh, Molly.
Isn't it a drag?
Tell us, mate.
What is it for you? What's the little thing that
enrages you? Oh, everyone
that knows me knows I hate people who
eat really loudly or slurp
when they drink.
Yeah, a lot of people it really rubs them the wrong way. I think it's an actual phobia, Molly.
We could be at a restaurant with a large group of people and I will point anyone out that
does it as just one thing that really gets on my nerves.
Bree's right.
I think that's you.
I think you have the issue here.
I have the issue.
Yeah.
Unless you're eating with a bunch of cows,
then I mean that is understandable.
Yeah, no, no, it can't happen.
It's not okay.
Have you purposefully selected a partner
that chews and slurps quietly?
Oh, absolutely.
Yeah, you've got to do it.
Can't live your life like that, right?
No.
We're with you, Molly.
We appreciate you calling through.
Someone texted in and said,
oh my God, things that make me? No. We're with you, Molly. We appreciate you calling through. Someone texted in and said, oh my god, things that make me so angry. When
you're on a plane, an old mate
30 seats behind you has unbuckled,
got his bag and is lined up ready
to get off the plane before all the seats in front
of him have even had the chance to stand up.
Wait your turn. People who
stand up in their seat but they're not in the aisle
enough to have their head out from underneath the storage
bin and they've got their head cocked over halfway like that.
Like, hey, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Because everyone knows that you're going to have to wait
for everyone else anyway.
You're all getting off.
And then people will be like, oh, I just wanted to stretch my legs.
Shay's here.
Hi, Shay.
Hi, Shay.
Hey, guys.
Tell us, Shay, what is the small thing,
but it just really ticks you off?
So I work in a bakery bakery and the thing that ticks me
off is every morning when
the tradies come to grab their food, they
don't use tongs, they just use their hands.
Oh, nah.
Do they know we've just been through a global
pandemic? Oh,
tell me about it.
They'd have clean hands though at the start of the
day, wouldn't they? That'd be
I mean, I'm not that kind when I think about it.
I'm just like, what have you been doing all night?
Oh, Shay.
Oh, yuck.
Okay, that's a health and safety issue.
Thank you, Shay.
One more from Penny.
Hi, Penny.
Hi, Penny.
Hello.
Tell us, Penny.
Blow off some steam here this afternoon.
What's something small but it just really annoys you?
When you're walking
and someone walks behind you
and then they start stepping on your heels.
Like the heel of your shoe.
Wait, do you know these people?
Yeah.
Oh, okay. They do it to be funny.
Oh, I thought you were talking about
strangers. I was like, that's an invasion
of your personal space. Penny, I thought
you were getting flat-tired by just random strangers.
Sometimes.
Yeah, right.
You can stand on the back of your shoes.
Yeah, but that's usually an accident, surely.
Maybe Penny's really slow.
Someone said people that leave at a full car length in front of them
at the traffic lights.
Yeah, I can see how that annoys people.
I've been rear-ended at the traffic lights before, though,
and it forces me to rear-end the person in front of me.
So I don't mind leaving a bit of a buffer there.
Are we still talking about driving?
Driving.
Yeah.
Someone texted through and they said,
when you're waiting to go through a security check at the airport
and those people that only get their stuff ready when the guards call them,
like I know my belt is going to go off,
so I take that off my boots and I get my laptop
out of the bag. It drives me nuts
especially when it's busy. Me too
can I say. I hate it when people
say ux instead of ask.
It's ask not ux.
Oh I just had to ask
a question. Can I ux you a question?
Ux you a question.
Someone said I hate when people break before
they indicate. I don't even a question. Someone said, I hate when people break before they indicate.
I don't even notice that.
People can break whenever they want.
It sounds like you're following too close.
People who don't say good morning when you say good morning to them.
That would annoy me.
You know what else really annoys me and I feel like someone would have
texted through?
Like I am such a country person because I grew up in the country
and I love letting people in
or like you know when it's like a
what's it called when there's not enough room?
Not a chicane
but when there's like a speed bump
and only one car can go.
Yeah and so I'll always wave the
person through if they don't wave back
to me. I've never regretted
anything more in my life and I'm like
I wish I didn't let that person in.
This is very similar. They said when you hold the door open
for someone and they don't say thanks.
Well, if you then.
Bree and Clint.
We promised you huge Rihanna news.
Let's go to Dean McCarthy in LA and get it.
From iHeartRadio.
This is the latest live from
LA with Dean McCarthy.
He's currently backstage at American Idol.
Dean, what's going on?
Hi, guys.
I'm actually at a vineyard.
They're shooting the first scene for American Idol for the new season
and they're doing auditions and we're up in the Malibu Hills
for the new season that starts next year.
So I'm kind of whispering because I don't want to lose.
I'm going to get in trouble.
Yeah, fair enough.
Dean, do you get to watch the auditions?
Yeah.
Fun.
Yeah, I'm like, it's so fun.
These people are so talented.
Oh, my goodness.
And just the excitement on their face when Katie Lionel and Luke say to them,
you're going to Hollywood.
Yeah.
These kids have, like, never even been on a plane or anything.
Like, they've never even been out of their hometowns.
And they're, like, going to Hollywood to audition
for one of the biggest shows in the world.
It's very, very exciting.
Dean, don't lie.
Have you secretly stolen one of the golden tickets before for yourself?
Babe, I am the golden ticket.
Yes, babes, yes, you are.
Give us this Rihanna goss, Dean,
because this is big news for Rihanna fans.
So, juicy.
Rihanna is going on tour and she's signing two new albums.
She's just signed with Live Nation and now it is all happening.
So we're very, very excited.
Apparently she's got some new music, like in the form of two new albums
and also a tour, planning a massive tour.
This is so cool.
For her to sign for a new deal like that with such an amazing label like that,
such a major player.
Rihanna fans, brace yourself.
It's going to be huge.
Look, Dane, I'm not going to
hold my breath because I have been waiting for
this moment for so long now.
Like, when was her last album?
Five years ago.
Was it 2016, I feel like?
Yeah, it was ages ago. Like, a long
time ago. And then she
released that song which was for the movie
Up, Don't Look Up. Yeah.
And it wasn't it. And she did Wakanda
Forever. Yeah, she did that.
But we want some absolute
Rihanna bangers. Live Nation
have paid her $66 million to
sign on with them. So I feel like
they will be wanting to get their money's worth. So this
tour and these two albums are definitely
going to happen. She doesn't even need the money
either. No, she's a billionaire. She's a billionaire.
But I'm so excited, like so excited for new Rihanna music.
There you go.
That's the goss from Backstage at American Idol.
Thanks, Dean.
We appreciate it.
Bye.
Bye, guys.
Okay, bye.
Okay, bye.
He's in Katy Perry's dressing room.
Him and Katy Perry are good mates.
Yeah.
Brie and Clint.
Brie, how old are your dogs?
I've got a three-year-old and a one-and-a-half-year-old.
Oh, those are not the world's oldest dogs.
Not even close.
What's the oldest dog you've ever had?
One of our childhood dog, Bella, she was a bullmastiff cross wolfhound.
Yeah.
Big dog, which don't normally live as long.
She lived till she was 17.
Oh, not bad.
Which, mate, for a dog that size,
that's a good innings.
Compared to this though, the 31
year old dog from Portugal
ranked
the world's oldest
dog ever, the oldest dog in
history, has died.
Why are you bringing this
kind of news to the show?
I don't want to know about...
It's a momentous...
It's a momentous...
The world's oldest dog has died, Bobby.
You know what?
You know what?
Why did you think a 31-year-old dog was going to live forever?
Did you think it was going to keep going?
Well, it's 31.
Yeah.
You know?
If it gets to 31, who knows?
Sky's the limit.
Yeah.
Bobby lived on a farm in a village in Portugal with his owner and four cats.
He was born on May the 11th, 1992.
This dog.
Dog's nearly as old as me.
Yeah, well, was nearly as old as you.
Yeah.
His owner got Bobby when he was eight years old.
He's had this dog since he was eight.
Incredible boy.
I feel like we've spoken about this dog before.
I think we took when it got the record, we talked about it.
Because it's gotten the record, I feel like we spoke about Bobby.
And every day that it lived, it was adding another day to the record.
Bobby's owner said the secret to a long life was ice baths,
green smoothies and transcendental meditation.
No, they didn't.
Good food.
Yes, very important.
Fresh air.
Yes.
And lots of love.
Oh.
Cute.
Can I just say as a pet owner and I feel like people are going
to either think I'm really weird for this or there's going
to be people who go, that's happened to me before.
And Claudia, you have a dog that you...
How old's Kai now?
About one and a half.
I literally the other day, I'm not joking,
so I was sitting with my dogs over the long weekend
and for some reason I started thinking about,
and I think my partner and I were talking about, you know,
how old they were and how long they're going to live.
And then when I started thinking about it too much,
I started to tear up.
Oh, don't do that to yourself.
Actually, I'll get teary now because, you know, they're not going to be,
oh, no, it was a quote.
It was a quote.
Yeah.
The quote was.
Oh, I know what the quote is.
The quote was.
Yeah, I know the quote.
Wait, let me see if I get this right because I'll get upset.
So the quote was something like –
Can I give it a go?
Yeah.
You can cry.
I'll give it a go.
They are only part of your life, but you are their entire life.
It was close.
Oh, no, damn it.
But it was pretty much much of a muchness.
It was something like
they're your best friend
for a short time
of your life.
Yeah, yeah.
For their life.
Wait.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's the same thing.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
For their life
you are
their best friend.
Don't worry about it.
Your dogs could live
as long as Bobby
the Portuguese
31 year old.
Your dog could still
be kicking around
when you're in your 60s.
I cried for 15 minutes about it.
Yeah, you need to get a grip.
I cried.
I read this bloody quote and I cried for 15 minutes
and then I sat there and hugged my dogs.
Here's what you've got to do if you want your dogs to live as long as Bobby.
What?
Bobby ate what his owners ate.
So when you're making yourself a chicken parmigiana,
you've got to make your dog a chicken parmigiana.
Oh, I think our dogs would be pretty fat
And Bobby was never put on a leash
Never put on a leash
We try and let our dogs roam free as much as we can
But we live in the bloody suburbs
Bobby claimed the Guinness World Record
From Bluey
An Australian cattle dog
Who was the previous record holder
Who lived to 29 in the year 1939.
I call bullshit on Bluey, the Kettle Dog.
Who was taking notes on that?
Exactly.
In 1939, you could tell me that you were Ned Kelly's brother
and I would believe you because there's no records.
You know?
How are you supposed to know?
Yeah.
It's not like these days where Bree's just done an Ancestry.com
DNA swab on her dog.
There was no records.
Wait, do you reckon the Ancestry DNA swab's going to tell me
how old my dog is too?
No, I think you've got to cut the dog in half and count the rings for that.
Yeah, the rings of it.
I was doing that with the poos.
Halloween is coming up on Tuesday, next Tuesday.
Oh, is it not on a weekend?
No.
Is it ever on a weekend?
It's always the 31st of October, I think.
So it can land on a weekend.
I think that's when it is.
Am I right about that, Claudia?
You're not a Halloween guy.
Nah.
Yeah, 31st of October.
We weren't a Halloween family.
Really?
Nah.
Yeah, we weren't a Halloween family because we lived about 10 kilometres away from our neighbours.
And my mum, for some reason, was like passionately anti-Halloween.
Oh, really?
Like passionately anti.
She's like, no, American bullshit.
We don't need that.
We don't need that.
But it's so fun.
And she'd put a sign out on our street that said,
no trick-or-treating here.
My dad, very religious,
so he was like, we are not doing any of this.
Is that why?
Is that the reasoning?
No, also that we didn't have any neighbours.
Yeah.
So, like, trick-or-treating would have been real grim.
Like, they would have sent us off and then probably, like, you know,
10 hours later we would have come back with, like,
maybe an avocado or something from the next door farm.
And he's an orchardist too.
The kids would have all got apples.
Every kid who came would have got an apple.
Hey, there's worse things to get.
Is there? Yeah.
Is there? Yeah. Like a toothbrush?
What would you rather, an apple or a toothbrush?
Neither. Toothbrush is pretty good.
I want lollies. As an adult,
what do you want? I want candy. If I
am going trick-or-treating as an adult, I
want Gaviscon. Gaviscon? Is what I want.
For indigestion? Yeah, or Metamucil.
I want those little bottles of alcohol that you get in the hotel rooms.
Yeah.
I want my bag just clinking, clinking, clinking as I come home.
That's a great trick-or-treating thing.
We should do adult trick-or-treating.
PSA for anyone that, if you're having your house organised for trick-or-treaters,
can you have something for the adults?
And let's be real, they're parents.
So give them alcohol.
Yeah.
Just parents should, this is what you should do.
You should, as an adult who's taking the kids around,
you should just take an empty vessel on like a lanyard.
You know, there's people wear it like the wine festivals,
wine and food festivals.
And every house that you go to,
they put some lollies in the kid's bucket
and you just hold out your cup
and the parents just give you a little splash in the cup, which just keeps you going to the next house.
Yep.
I mean, you'll drink seven different types of wine over the course of it.
You know, wine, lorazepams, like whatever you want to give out.
Lorazepams.
Okay, remind my kids never to go trick-or-treating with you.
I didn't say for the kids.
I said for the adults.
I don't want their supervisor to be walking the streets on a Razor Pam either.
Mate, there's worse things to walk the street on.
Trade Me has released the top searches for Halloween costumes for 2023.
When I think of Halloween, I don't think Trade Me.
I'd probably go to the Warehouse or like a Look Sharp.
Yeah, Look Sharp or the Warehouse.
Or Kmart.
Or Kmart.
But apparently people have had 5, Look Sharp or the warehouse. Or Kmart. Or Kmart. But apparently people are.
They've had 5,000 Halloween-related searches.
So according to them, they think they know what the top three ideas are
for Halloween this year.
I'll give you one yes.
I'm going to say top Halloween costume.
What does everyone want to go as Halloween this year?
Christopher Luxon.
It'd be an
easy one. You whack a bald cap
on and a suit and the kid would
look so cute. Or Winston Peters
in a little pinstripe suit.
He's holding the country
to ransom.
Or Chris Hipkins. Whack a
ginger wig on him and you can have
the whole trio.
He's unemployed.
They're all terrifying. Ah, he's unemployed. Ah.
They're all terrifying.
No, the number one trending costume, according to Trade Me, for 2023, Barbie.
Barbie, let's go party.
Does it say what type of Barbie or just all types?
Just all Barbie.
Everything Barbie.
I mean, sky's the limit with Barbie.
You whack like a blonde wig on.
Yeah.
And you can say it's Barbie.
They'll be doing that rollerblading outfit.
I love the rollerblading outfit.
Ken and Barbie are in pink and with the fluorescent skates.
I saw Sam Wallace and his missus went to Tony Street's 40th birthday party over the weekend and, oh, my God, him and his missus.
I haven't seen the costume done as well as what they did.
It's very good, eh?
It was so spot on.
Well, he's built like a Kindle as well.
And he, and yeah, and then his missus looks like a Barbie.
Just a quick poll of the room.
Anybody get an invite to Tony Street's 40th birthday?
Anybody?
No, I didn't.
No, me neither.
I did.
Did you?
Yeah.
And you chose not to go.
Damn, ultimate power move.
Ultimate power move. Plus three. I couldn't go. Why. Damn, ultimate power move. Ultimate power move.
Plus three.
I couldn't go.
Why?
Okay, look, I didn't get invited.
I just wanted to see what you guys said.
Second most popular outfit for 2023, according to Trade Me, Taylor Swift.
Yeah, I called that.
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey.
But no, just Taylor Swift.
Yeah, but it'll be Travis will be in there now too.
How do you dress up
as Taylor Swift
in a way that people
are going to instantly
recognise and go,
oh,
you're Taylor Swift.
You just go from like
one of the different eras.
So what would you wear?
Like a country Taylor Swift
would be cute.
Do you have to wear a guitar?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
Or red.
Wear the red lip
and the heart sunglasses.
Red lipstick.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Curly hair if you're going
as that era.
I hate Kanye t-shirt. Yeah, perfect. Okay Red lipstick. Yeah. Curly hair if you're going as that era. I hate Kanye t-shirt.
Yeah, perfect.
Okay, cool.
And number three, the third most popular, Oppenheimer.
What?
Oppenheimer.
That is not.
You're going as Cillian Murphy in Oppenheimer.
So you just wear a suit with a skinny tie and like a hat.
Chiseled cheekbones.
And a sign that says, I'm Oppenheimer.
Yeah.
Oh, nah.
I am Oppenheimer.
Boring.
Close runner up was Wednesday Addams.
Oh, that one's fun.
Yeah.
That one is fun.
I feel like she's sort of perpetually relevant, right?
Anyone from the Addams family.
100%.
She's, you know.
Mash them all together.
Go as a Barbie, Taylor Swift, Taylor Swift Barbie.
Taylor Swift Barbie.
With like nuclear radiation coming off you.
Then you've done all three trends all together.
With a really dark eyeliner to get Wednesday Adams in there.
Yeah, perfect.
Bree and Clint.
Read this horrible story about this 24-year-old guy
who was on holiday in Bali and
he was kicking around on a scooter
as people do when they go travelling in
Bali and he was involved
in a really bad
head on collision
which saw him with serious head
injuries and he broke four bones
including his tibia and
fibula. Oh, they're the big ones
in your leg.
Not good.
Leg?
Leg.
Yeah.
Yeah, tibia and fibula.
Yeah.
That's how you say it, eh?
Fibula?
Fibula.
Are they the upper ones?
Fibula.
Are they the upper ones or the lower one?
What's the shin bone?
I always get confused.
Me too.
Because there's a lot of legs in your bone.
There's two in your...
There's a lot of legs in your bone. There's a in your... There's a lot of legs in your bone.
There's a lot of bones in your leg.
Oh, Ella's yelling at us.
She knows.
You can tell it's a long weekend.
Ella, you know the answer?
Yeah.
I was just laughing at Bree, but I think it's a femur.
Oh, the femur's the one in the top.
The top of your leg.
I was just laughing.
The femur's the biggest bone in the top of your leg, I'm pretty sure. I've just googled
leg bones. Yeah.
I can name three. Tibia and fibia
are the two in the bottom half of your leg.
In your lower leg. Your shin bone and the one that
runs behind the shin bone. The femur is
the one in the top of your leg. Yes, correct.
The what? The femur is the
top bone. I'm pretty sure the femur's the biggest
bone in your body. Yeah. And if you
break that,
don't wink at me.
Anyway, this guy broke the two bones in his lower part of the leg and he had to make a horrible decision.
And I know this story will make people a little bit squeamish,
but he had to make the horrible decision where they pretty much gave him the ultimatum.
He had multiple surgeries and then they pretty much said to him,
after about two months, they said, look, the leg is so badly damaged
that we can either try and save it, which there is a lot of risk.
It can get infected.
We need to take parts from your other leg to try and, you know,
replace it in the one that you've damaged and it might reject it.
Your body might reject it altogether and then, you know, you're left with.
Fusses and pain and surgeries.
And they pretty much said to him, look, it could be a two-year process
if we try and save your leg and then you might not, you know,
it might not work.
Or?
Or we amputate the leg from the knee down.
Yeah.
And you get a prosthetic and you're up and about and walking
and living a relatively normal life again in six months.
I don't want the doctor to give me that choice.
Like, I want the doctor to tell me, he goes,
don't let me know there ever was a choice to say we have to amputate it
or we can save it.
What would you decide?
I don't know.
I don't know.
I know what I would do.
What?
Amputate.
Really?
Yeah, because the risk.
Well, I guess I know what I would do then.
The risk that's involved,
which means you just could be in pain for the rest of your life.
Is it a risk to your life?
Well, infection, I'm assuming.
It can get really badly infected and can kill you.
Yeah.
But I think I would amputate it.
Yeah?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, technology's come a long way.
Yeah, it has.
And you see incredible people doing incredible things, like Liam Malone.
But not without struggle. Like I see the
stuff that he posts and that.
It's not, it's like. No, I can't
even imagine.
The stuff Jess Quinn posts.
Oh yeah. The daily
struggle. Yeah. You know, where she's
had her leg amputated
when she was really young.
I think I would get it removed.
Yeah.
And live as an amputee with a prosthetic.
Yeah.
And you don't have the risk.
Oh, man.
I...
Makes you think twice about renting those scooters.
Well, actually, it doesn't.
When you get to Bali, you don't think twice at all.
You're like, everyone's doing it.
Scooter, scooter, scooter.
Same with Thailand. You do not think about this. You don't think it's all. You're like, everyone's doing it. Scooter, scooter. Same with Thailand.
You do not think about this.
You don't think it's going to happen to you.
No, it's so incredibly dangerous.
Like it is.
I thought we could ask people for their stories this afternoon.
Are you an amputee?
Are you someone who, I don't know what's happened to you.
Maybe you were born that way.
Who knows?
Or an accident. Or an accident.
Or who knows what happened. But we'd love to speak to you this afternoon.
Are you an amputee? 0800
dials at M or you can text us on
9696. Yeah, I'd love to hear your stories.
And what
it's like for you.
Interesting question we're asking
this afternoon. Are you an amputee?
Yeah.
We'd love you to call us, 0800-DIAL-ZM,
or you can text her on 9696.
We'd just love to talk to you.
Yeah, a perspective that Brie and I don't have.
No.
What's life like, and what is the reason that you became an amputee?
Yeah.
Someone's texted us and they said,
my kids call me an amputee after I had my tailbone removed.
They refer to it as my stump.
Wait, you can get your whole tailbone removed?
I messaged this person back and I said,
why did you have your tailbone removed?
Wait, was it a tail or a tailbone?
Because some people have a tailbone that's too long and it sticks out.
And then some people can break their tailbone during childbirth.
But they didn't text back.
I don't know why.
But, man, it sucks to be bullied by your kids.
Especially if you had it removed to give birth to them.
You show them who's boss.
Someone texted and they said,
I was born without my fibula bone.
When I was three years old,
my parents made the decision to get my foot amputated.
Otherwise, that leg would have been 20 centimetres shorter than my other leg when I was fully grown.
I'm now 28.
I can do anything and everything others can do.
I don't know any different.
See, I love those stories because I can't even imagine how hard that decision would be as parents, you know, to make that decision for someone.
Yeah.
Because, you know, they're three.
They can't make the decision for themselves.
No, and you just have to back yourselves and the doctors to go,
we're doing the right thing.
But, yeah, like a three-year-old or kids like are so, like, resilient
and you can just adapt.
Someone else texted in, someone amputated my foreskin.
No, that's not what we're looking.
That's not what we're talking about.
No need for that sort of conversation, please.
Farron is here.
Hi, Farron.
Hi, Farron.
Hey, how are you?
You work in prosthetics, Farron.
I work in wheelchair and sitting and deal with lots and lots of people
that have had amputations of various kinds.
Yeah, amazing.
Legs and feet.
So interesting.
What is the world of prosthetics like?
Like how far has technology come?
And in your opinion, if the story we were talking about earlier
where he was given the decision to amputate his leg or to try and save it,
what do you think, you know, in your opinion of what you've seen that he should do?
I mean, I can't speak for anyone else, but if it was my body,
I would lop it off.
Yeah, the people that I meet that have had amputations
live very normal lives.
And, yeah, technology's advancing.
It's very cool.
You said that it's like Iron Man advanced now, the type of prosthetics.
It's Iron Man cool.
Really?
Like, that's how good it is?
Yeah, compared to what you would think of as a prosthetic
where you used to have like a sock and then just like kind of a peg leg.
It's not like that at all.
It's not that.
Like joints with sensors in them and people can walk up and down stairs now.
Wow.
It's getting very cool.
I've even seen like videos on TikTok and stuff
where people have had to have prosthetics
where they actually paint it so it looks like real skin.
Yeah, you can do the wheelchair and then people will be running blades
and stuff like, yeah, that's exactly, you can do whatever you want.
Okay, Farron, thank you.
We really appreciate that.
That's a fascinating insight.
The person who had their tailbone taken out has replied.
I said, why did you have your tailbone dislocated, amputated?
They said, I dislocated it falling off a couch while dancing to I Need a Hero
to the point that it could no longer be snapped back into place.
Oh, jeez.
At least you've got a great story to go with it.
I mean, what a fantastic story and a great song.
I need a hero.
I'm holding up for a hero.
Claudia's asked us to give a trigger warning on this one because it's a bit gross.
Okay.
So there's your trigger warning. And Kat, sorry to call warning on this one because it's a bit gross. Okay. So there's your trigger warning.
And Kat, sorry to call you a bit gross.
I am a bit gross.
Are you okay?
Josie Grossie, what's your story, Kat?
So at the start of this year, we got back from Christmas holidays and our lawns were
a little bit long.
So I got out and started mowing the lawns and I got a bit blocked up.
And so, of course, like trying to clear it out, really, really intelligent. And I didn't turn the lawnmower off.
Cat! No, no.
It put the tip of my left index finger.
Oh, you stuck your hand in the lawnmower while it was still running.
It was just in the side. I didn't think it was near the blade, but I think they need
to make that little symbol a little bit bigger, right?
Cat, cat. I'm nervous to even put my hand in the insinkerator when it's not on.
You're just bloody putting your hand and fingers around the lawnmower.
Have you ever seen under a lawnmower?
You said you didn't think the blade was that big.
Have you ever looked under a lawnmower?
Yeah, I've done the lawn since and had to clear grass out again.
Did you turn it off?
Yes.
Kat, are we talking did you lose nail?
Yes.
So, basically, I cut off, like, just below the nail.
So, I've lost to the first, like, knuckle on my finger.
I have a prosthetic now.
Do you?
They gave you a prosthetic index finger nub.
Yes.
Just the end of it.
So, basically, I wanted it for aesthetics and also for typing at work.
Oh, yeah.
And for nose picking as well, right, Kat?
Yeah, 100%.
Kat, can I just say you sound like you're the most happy, go lucky person
and it makes sense as to why you weren't thinking about, you know,
putting your hand in the lava.
Well, I mean, I'm past it.
It's my own stupidity, right?
It's a blessing and a curse, yeah.
How much, can I ask, Kat, was the prosthetic?
Did you have to pay for it or was it covered by ACC?
Yeah, amazingly, it's through ACC.
So they hilariously wear out as well.
So I get a new one roughly every two years.
Really?
And what's one of those worth?
Do you know?
About two grand. Really? And what's one of those worth? Do you know? About two grand.
Yeah, right.
Do you have different ones for different occasions?
One with nail polish?
Like a long nail on it?
So I can go and get my nails done if I want to.
And they asked, because they make it match your skin tone as well,
they asked if I wanted any tattoos or anything.
So I thought about getting a lawnmower on it.
You've got a sick sense of humour, Kat.
Kat, I love your sense of humour.
Keep being you, babe.
I love it.
Thank you so much, okay?
Kat, see you, Kat.
Oh, my God, that terrifies me, that story.
In her defence, though, it could have been worse.
Yeah.
She just lost the tip.
It could have been so much worse.
It could have been way worse.
My uncle cut the top of his big toe off in a lawnmower.
Yeah.
And I said to him one time when I was older, I was like,
you know, why were you cutting the lawns with no shoes on?
And he was like, well, I didn't think it was that dangerous.
No.
He goes, now –
I used to cut the lawns in jandals.
Yeah.
You don't think about it.
My uncle said, now I wear a pair of jandals.
Oh.
Still get ones, I'm sure.
Bree and Clint.
Yes.
Cool.
This is where we guess songs that have been covered in classical style.
And we're very good at it.
I say it every week.
I'm waiting for it to be true, but we're very good at this game.
Speak for yourself.
Claudia is the maestro. She's the good at this game. Speak for yourself.
Claudia is the maestro.
She's the conductor of this game.
Hi, Claudia.
Hello.
You guys aren't giving yourself enough credit.
No, I'm giving myself a lot of credit.
Well, you're not giving Bree enough credit.
No, no, he's giving me plenty.
Can I just say, if we all were in an orchestra,
I feel like Claudia would be the conductor.
Oh, I want to be the symbols or something.
No, you're too clever for that.
Oh, the symbols are fun.
What would Ella be?
Producer Ella would be the triangle.
Yes!
Percussion.
I'd be the tuba.
Tuba.
Could I do the air horn?
There's no air horn in an orchestra, but sure.
Maybe a symphony. And what would I be?
You would be... The audience
member.
Thanks, guys. Clapping for us.
Yeah.
Okay, Courtney, let's play the game, shall we?
Alrighty, this is Let's Get Classical.
Like you said, I've taken songs that we all
know and turned them classical. You guys need to tell
me the artist and the name of the song.
Good luck.
Well, let's do it.
Let's do it.
Brie.
Brie.
Oh, I know that.
That is Olivia Rodrigo, Get Him Back.
How topical it is.
Oh, I didn't know that.
It's in my brain.
What did you think it was, Glenn?
I just recognised the...
But I wouldn't have been able to put it to a song.
Oh, yeah, wow.
I can picture this in Bridgerton.
Yeah.
I prefer Olivia's version, but that was good.
Thank you, Claudia.
Fair enough.
Okay, here's another one.
Even Ella's got it.
It's a beggar.
Brie.
Brie.
Come on.
It's Rude Boy Rihanna.
Yes.
Oh.
It was right in my frontal lobe.
But the old lobe wasn't firing enough today.
Drop it, lobe.
I did not get that at all.
Yeah, your face was pretty blank during that.
Even once you said what it was.
Really?
Do you want to hear it again?
You'll hear it now.
You guys are playing a prank on me.
You still can't hear it.
Start it from the beginning.
I'm going to give it up.
Okay, yeah.
Bye-bye.
I'm going to give it up.
Take it.
Take it.
Take it.
Take it.
Take it.
Love it, love it. All right, let's do one more for fun. Okay. Take it. Take it. Take it. Take it. Love it, love it.
All right, let's do one more for fun.
Okay. For fun.
Oh.
Oh.
Free.
Um.
I got it.
Oh, no.
I've lost it.
Hold on.
Is it Only Girl in the World?
No.
No, no.
You're still thinking Rihanna.
Is it, um. No, play it again
Great
Happy
Great
Yes
God, how did we not get that?
We've heard it a million times
Damn, 3-0 pantsing
Too much credit
I feel like I haven't got one in like two weeks I was due for a win Damn, 3-0 pantsing. Too much credit.
I feel like I haven't got one in like two weeks.
I was due for a win.
Oh well.
Bree and Clint.
Bree and Clint. All I want for my birthday is a birthday banger.
All right.
Tuesday of a short week.
Your birthday bangers to get you home on a Tuesday.
Number one song's on your 16th birthdays.
We figure it out behind the scenes here and then we'll play our favourite one.
Lauren's caught up.
Did you have a good long weekend, Lauren?
Yeah, it was pretty good.
Went way too quick, though.
Yeah, I know.
Did you do that thing where you can take in extra days to make it extra long?
Well, no, because I don't normally work Mondays anyway,
so I didn't really get the benefit.
Lauren, what do you do for work and how can we sign up?
I've got kids, so, you know.
Lauren, you're always working then, can I say?
No deal.
You are always working.
No deal.
Lauren, what is your birthday?
23rd of September, 1985.
All right, Loz, you were 16, my friend, in 2001.
And back on your 16th birthday, this was number one.
All right.
Oh, Lozzy Loz, it's an absolute tune from Blue.
Oh, yeah.
You're not a fan.
No, not a huge fan, but it's okay.
Yeah.
No, tell us, Lauren, we like honesty in this segment.
Tell us what you really think.
I think there were some better songs around on my 16th birthday.
In 2001.
Lauren's gutted.
Do you have him for, like, P.O.D. or something like that?
Oh, no, I'm sure there was, yeah.
Alien Ant Farm. You were hoping for Snoop Dogg, no, I'm sure they were, yeah. Alien ant farm.
You were hoping for Snoop Dogg, were you?
Yeah, kind of, yeah.
Okay, all right.
I get it, I get it.
Wait there, Lauren, we're going to do Bradley's birthday banger.
Kia ora, Bradley.
Hi, Brad.
Hello, yeah, yeah.
Good, mate.
What did you get up to for the long weekend?
I'm a dairy farmer, so no rest for the wicked.
How many days off, Bradley, do you get a year?
Not a lot, to be honest.
But I enjoy it, so that's what matters.
Well, we appreciate the work you do, Brad.
Tell us your birthday, mate.
1st of October in 1992.
All right, you were 16, mate, in 2008.
Back on your 16th birthday,
this was number one.
Banger, P Money and Vince
Harder.
You've got to be
happy with that, Bradley, surely.
Oh yeah, it's not bad.
They'd go riding the cow shed?
Yeah, yeah. He doesn't like it either. No, it's not bad, yeah. They'd go riding the cow shed? Yeah, yeah, of course.
He doesn't like it either.
No, he's not that chuffed.
He's not a fan either.

Been very lucky.
Cleaning up. Okay, well let's make it
an absolute home run with your birthday, Banger.
What year were you born?

All right, Emily, that means you were 16 in 2012.
So we're on this day in 2012.
This had a number one hit.
Calvin Harris and Florence and the Machine were massive in 2012.
And that is such a good birthday banger.
Come on, Emily.
You've got to love that. Pretty good.
You like it?

Look, I was talking about earlier in the show how I was very lucky.
Got to go out on my friend's boat yesterday.
Yeah. For a little boat trip for the long weekend. Did a wee in the show how I was very lucky, got to go out on my friend's boat yesterday. Yeah.
For a little boat trip for the long weekend.
Did a wee in the ocean.
Did a wee in the ocean.
Nearly had to, I feel like people need to put a warning on boats,
especially smaller boats because it was quite a small boat,
that women need to wear supportive bras because my titties nearly hit me in the face.
Like it was so choppy on the way out that I had to hold my breastises, like hold them
the whole trip.
Do you think they should start putting that in the marine forecast?
So they go tide is in at this time, out at this time, wind is moving in this direction
and it's a double sports bra day.
Yeah, I think they should.
You know, the Coast Guard is meant to be keeping people safe.
I could have knocked an eye out with those things.
Yeah.
You know, dangerous times.
Well, yeah.
Even with the life vest on, it wasn't doing nothing.
I was going to say, your life jacket would have held them down.
Nah.
Nah. It would have held them down if you were wearing it't doing nothing. I was going to say, your life jacket would have held them down. Nah. Nah.
It would have held them down if you were wearing it.
I was.
I saw your Instagram story of you holding your tatays in place.
There's not a life jacket in reach of you.
That's just a, you know, I was wearing it for a bit of it.
I messaged Bri and I said, you don't have a life jacket on.
And she goes, I've got two flotation devices strapped to my chest.
Yeah, trust me. have a life jacket on. And she goes, I've got two flotation devices strapped to my chest. Yeah, trust me.
Just roll onto my back.
Nah, kids, wear your life vests.
That's why we didn't bring our dogs out because they don't have life vests.
Yeah.
Like legit.
Do as I say, not as I do.
Exactly.
But yeah, seriously, put a warning because women are going to obviously, you know, lose something and it's going to be their boobies.
But a friend of ours was meeting us at the dock
where we were obviously launching the boat.
So she was meeting us where we were going to launch this boat
to go out on this trip.
And she phones us up because we were ready to go.
We were all on the boat.
We had everything on board.
We were ready to roll.
And she calls us up and she's like, hey, guys,
my car's just broken down like 20, not 20 kilometres,
two kilometres from where you guys are.
I'm going to have to walk.
We're like, we're not waiting for you.
Why is your car broken down?
Like, catch an Uber, meet us here.
Like, we're on the clock here.
Boats, boats fuel goes like that very quick anyway
she gets an uber she gets there and we're like what's going on with your car like what happened
she's like i've been on holiday i've gotten back she wasn't that it just stopped working like all
the lights came on just stopped working and we were like well what's going on she goes and i
said when was the last time you had it serviced? And she looks me dead in the eye and she goes,
I've never had a car serviced before in my life.
And I went, are you joking?
You've never taken any car you've ever owned to get a service?
And she looks at me and goes, no, I don't think you do need to do that.
I said, you do, and hence why we're in this position right now.
You do, and I am, like and hence why we're in this position right now. You do and
I am like you now a
religious car servicer every 12 months
but it depends on how you were raised.
I didn't, used to be a car
servicer and I
realised why last week my parents
came to visit and my dad's got a car, it's not
a super old car, it's like a 2008
hatchback kind of thing and when he started
it up, you know when the car's just not been serviced.
Everything's like...
And then you turn the steering wheel and it just goes...
And I know for a fact that car has never been serviced.
The power steering obviously needs some adjusting.
Never had the oil changed.
It will have had the oil topped up,
but will have never had a fresh lot of oil in it.
Oh, you need to go get that car serviced ASAP.
Something in the car burns the oil off.
I, like as a 20-year-old, was one of the most like,
I mean I was a mess in my 20s, like an absolute mess.
As you can imagine, think of me now, like four times as bad.
Like that's horrible.
But the one thing I did do was I got my car serviced
because my dad drilled into us so much how important it is
because it can be unsafe.
It could save your life.
Yeah.
I know our producer Claudia is not wanting to be in this conversation,
but you are a lifelong non-car servicer, aren't you?
Keeping quiet out here.
I've decided to change my ways because my current car, I like it.
You service your new car?
I haven't yet, but I will.
But you will.
Claudia.
I intend to.
Put it in your diary.
It's a new car.
You need to service the Swifty.
I was going to service it every time I got my WAF
and do everything at the same time.
That's a good idea.
But then last time I got my WAF, I was in a rush, so.
You didn't service your last car. Where's that one? In the same time. That's a good idea. But then last time I got my WAF, I was in a rush. You didn't service your last car.
Where's that one?
In the scrapyard.
Didn't you have to leave your car on the side of the road
because it broke down?
It just stopped in the middle of an intersection.
I'm real shy with mechanics, so I just left it there.
Who was it that picked it up and then they were like,
you need to come get your car.
I left it on the side of the road for a week
and then I called the AA and we got it towed
and they were like, yeah, we can't really do anything.
It'll cost a lot to fix it.
And so I was like, okay, cool.
I'll come back for it.
And then you left your baby for dead.
Claudia.
It's not responsible motor ownership from you, Claudia.
I'm changing my ways, I promise.
Oh, I'm going to check up on you.
Producer Ella, youngest person on the show,
do you get your car serviced?
You have a very, can I just say,
you have a very nice car for your age.
Yes, I know, I'm very grateful,
but sometimes part of me wishes I had an old dud.
Just because it's fun.
Trust me.
You have to service those too.
You really don't.
Like, you really don't want an old dad.
It's just fun.
Someone texted through and said,
is a WAF and a service not the same thing?
No.
Oh, no.
No.
Obviously, they're joking.
This is going to trigger Bree specifically,
but me too, as the responsible dad of the show,
we want you to call up on 0800-DIAL-ZM
and tell us, have you never serviced your car before?
Have you never serviced our car?
Our car. That you've had.
Yeah, you just don't do it. And how did it work
out for you? How's that car going?
Yeah. You know if someone's
going to call through with a 25-year-old
Toyota Corolla that has never had a service
and they're going to go, servicing's a scam.
Toyota Corollas don't need to be serviced.
They'll go forever.
Bree and Clint. ZM, Bree and Clint.
Miley Cyrus. And we can't
stop because we haven't serviced
our cars and we have no brake pads left.
Yeah, that is a real concern.
A friend of mine looked me dead in the face yesterday
after she broke down and said
I have never serviced a car.
I don't believe in it. You and I
triggered. But we are balanced on this show because we have two producers
who are anti-car servicing.
Yeah.
They've never serviced a car.
They say it's too expensive.
Yeah, they say.
Clue is like being called anti-car service
because she plans on getting her car serviced one day.
Yeah, no, I'm pro-car service.
I'll believe it when I see it.
You're hypothetically pro-car service.
Yeah, which means I'm pro.
Can I just say the text that came in where it said that a friend of theirs
believed that when the car was getting a WAF, it also got serviced,
so their car hadn't been serviced in eight years?
Yeah.
That's quite concerning, the number of messages we're getting from people
who believe that the WAF that you get from VTNZ is a service.
It is not a service.
No. It is just a service. No.
It is just checking that your car is roadworthy.
They literally.
They're two different things.
They don't even use any tools.
No.
They just look at it with a torch and they go, yeah, it's good or no, it's bad.
They don't even turn it.
They don't undo anything.
They literally barely even touch it.
Someone texted through as well and said, service my car for the first time in five
years. A year ago, I've
had nothing but problems since.
They then text back again
and said, they said it
was the worst oil filter
they'd ever seen. They're saying
it like it's a badge of honour. Yeah, this person's
anti-car service. I told you we were going to get
the conspiracy theorist. But let's go
to the phones and talk to Bradley on
0800 Dial ZM. Hi Bradley.
G'day Brad. G'day.
Tell us mate, have you never got your car serviced?
I was a
mechanic and I've got
a few cars but
I just don't have time so
I'm like 60,000 over
on this car. Brad!
60,000 over? You're. Brad! 60,000 over!
You're a mechanic.
Could you just service it yourself?
Oh, well, theoretically,
but I've got a broken shoulder
and I can't walk too well, so...
He's busy.
He's busy.
He's busy for another 60,000 Ks.
Your 60,000 Ks busy.
I trusted enough to drive it down to Rotorua.
I'm out.
Listen to Brad. Brad's like, I. I'm out. Listen to Brad.
Brad's like, I know my car.
Thank you, Brad. My eldest son never services his car, rarely warrants
or red-joes it as well, and still
drives on his learner's licence.
The worst part is, his younger brother is
a mechanic. Ask the brother.
You've got two opposite children there.
You've got one from column A and one from column
B. Aiden is on 0800.ZM.
Hi, Aidan.
G'day, Aidan.
G'day, how are we?
Good, thank you, mate.
Are you someone that doesn't service your car?
Oh, it depends on the car.
The one I'm in right now, absolute servicing, every 5,000 k's.
Yeah, right.
The other one, I was a hand-me-down, got it at 120,000 k's.
Didn't service it until 207,000 k's where it burned down on Christmas last year.
It burned down, Aidan.
Wait, did you drive it so much that there was no oil left in the engine and it blew up?
Oh, it's the same as before.
Never got an oil change, always got an oil top up.
She's been live for two years until
Christmas Day and at eight o'clock
she was inflamed on the side of the road.
Okay, Aidan, I hope this serves as
a warning to people. You know, I'm
using you as a cautionary tale this afternoon.
I like how Aidan's like, I pick
and choose depending on how much I like
my car. You know,
like if it's a nice looking car,
then she gets serviced.
I've never had my white Mazda Bongo serviced
and it has this high-pitched screech that the older population
probably wouldn't be able to hear.
Oh, my God.
I know that screech.
Isn't it the...
It's a belt to do with the steering, I think.
It's the fan belt, I'm pretty sure.
Even we can tell you that.
The fan belt is literally about to break off.
This person wants to be anonymous.
Hello, anonymous.
Hi, anonymous.
Hi.
Look, we're not trying to shame people this afternoon.
We're trying to help you.
We're trying to scare them into getting a service done.
What's the deal with you?
I bought an import swift years ago when I was living in Wellington.
I'd done a couple of laps around the country, never serviced it.
Probably did about 100,000 k's.
Wow.
And then I went to sell it a couple of months ago
because I was buying a brand new car, which I have serviced.
Anonymous, I was going to say, do you deserve a new car
if you're not going to get it serviced?
But you are, so that's all good.
It does get serviced.
And one of the older guys driving my Swift
was like, I can tell you've looked
after it. This is the best service
Swift has ever driven. What?
You did 100,000 k's
with no new oil and no new
brake pads and no new wiper blades
and he was like, this thing is mint.
I did do the brake pads because
they were squealing.
Wow.
Well, you know what, Anonymous?
At least you had common sense to do the brake pads, for God's sake.
We're just harassing people.
What about big businesses?
Someone said, I hired a car to go from Wellington to Auckland
and I turned around after picking it up because it had a noise
which sounded like there was a motorbike inside the car.
They said it was just that the Toyota Corolla is a noisy car.
Oh, I don't know about that.
I told them I think the wheel bearing or diff is stuffed
and they said, oh, that's okay.
There's an AA membership on all of our cars,
so just ring them if it breaks down.
No, give me a car that's been serviced that isn't going to break down.
As someone who used to work for a car rental company,
I will say I would never buy a second-hand car that has been a rental car.
The stuff I used to see.
This is my favourite text of the day.
Hello, anti-service here.
My teapot light is on right now.
I'll top her up when I get a chance.
My teapot light? What about the one below it? on right now. I'll top her up when I get a chance. My tip online?
What about the one below it?
Just realised oil change and oil
top up isn't the same thing.
What's the text below that? Wait,
WTF is an oil change?
It's getting worse and worse, guys.
Go get your car
serviced. Please
be safe. Just even
I mean, just.
Anti-service here.
Even just get a cheap service done, you know.
Bree and Clint.
And that's the end of our show.
Tonight is the second to last episode of this season of Celebrity Treasure Island.
We just had Laura Daniel in.
Oh, spoiler alert.
Spoiler alert.
Oh, I'll tell you why we had her in.
Oh, good cover.
That's good.
Yeah.
Can I just say. She was in to promote the why we had her in. Oh, good cover. That's good. Yeah, can I just say.
She was in to promote the episode that is on tonight.
It was not me.
Direct your complaints to Clinton Roberts.
People are watching.
I know they're watching.
People are loving the season.
I know, that's why I said spoiler alert.
After you said it.
Shit.
Anyway, there's two episodes left.
Tonight we'll decide the final three and then tomorrow we'll be out hunting the treasure, right?
Correct.
Yeah.
So tonight is huge because all the format changes.
You don't know what's going to happen.
A lot of twists and turns.
And then, yeah, obviously the treasure hunt tomorrow night.
I hope James Musterpich wins.
That's who you're backing in for the win?
And I feel like he is going to win.
That's why he was on the cover of Reset magazine over the weekend.
Oh, yeah.
You know the stories building around him. Yeah. I feel like it's going to win. That's why he was on the cover of Reset magazine over the weekend. Oh yeah. You know the stories building around
him. Yeah. I feel like it's
I'd love to see, honestly
out of the final
four, I
would love to see any of them win.
I feel like they've all played very
different games, but they're all
very good players and deserve to be in the final
four. So at this
point in the game, I mean obviously I know who
wins but I remember thinking I was like I'd love
to see anyone win. Yeah.
It's your last week to win that $1000 cash too so
watch out for the keyword. Text it to 9696
