Hola!
Welcome to the Berean Clint Podcast where Producer Ben informs us we've been having podcast issues.
So this is today's podcast that you might be listening to tomorrow because today you listened to yesterday's podcast.
Today is Tuesday the 25th of May.
Yeah, but you might be listening to this, well you could be listening on Thursday.
You might be listening to this in the future. Maybe it's 2041.
Yeah.
And you could be, you found this, I don't know, in a time capsule.
And New Zealand still hasn't vaccinated everybody.
I know.
It's taken a while.
Yeah.
Wow.
I really want the DeLorean back now.
Yeah, it would be good.
Nah, actually, I don't want it.
What do you reckon she's up to?
Ben, do you know what she's up to?
I know he gave it to that wrestler. Yeah, cool guy, Sky or Sly, whatever would be good. Nah, actually, I don't want it. What do you reckon she's up to? Ben, do you know what she's up to? I know he gave it to that wrestler.
Yeah, cool guy Sky or Sly.
Here's a question for you guys.
If we had a real DeLorean, would you travel to the future or back in time?
I'd go.
You can only go once?
Future.
Where would you travel?
I'd go back in time and I'd do that thing where he took the betting book with him.
Oh, nice.
Don't call me a bad person. I was going to say, yeah, but how I'd do that thing where he took the betting book with him. Oh, nice. Don't call me a bad person.
I want to set up my family.
You just get one from now.
You are the future.
It's actually pretty easy. You just bet heaps of money on
every bled as low for it.
Oh, right.
We won a couple
when John Eales was playing, alright?
You bitch.
I wouldn't go that that far, Bree.
Bregan, he was a decent player.
Bree, that was ages ago.
You bitch.
You know one time I was having drinks with the Wallabies.
Oh, okay.
This is a true story.
True story.
Been to school with some All Blacks.
Let's be real.
They're just like normal people in Australia
No one cares
Yeah
True
Anyway
For some reason
It ended up that I
Got onto Johnny Eel's shoulders
And he was carrying me around
On his shoulders
And I was
The man's like three stories tall
It was so terrifying
And I was quite intoxicated
But what a memory
Yeah what a memory I don't even know why How old were terrifying and I was quite intoxicated, but what a memory. Yeah, what a memory.
I don't even know why.
How old were you?
I would have been.
Why is John Eales shouldering around drunk girls?
I would have been, I want to say 22.
Really?
Yeah.
Not okay, John Eales.
I've also had drinks with Alfie Langer.
This is for the rugby league fans at the same pub.
What club is he?
Huh?
What club was he?
Alfie Langer.
Yeah, I don't know him.
He played for the Brisbane Broncos and he was like a legend in origin.
Slash played for Australia.
Yeah, big time player.
Anyway, had drinks with him.
I'm literally like this much taller.
One time I got real drunk and asked Dan Carter for a photo.
Ben took it.
It was the highlight of my life.
That was like two weeks ago.
That was like two weeks ago. That was like two weeks
ago.
Yeah, two goats in one pick.
Hey, thanks Anastasia. Hey, I'm
real good friends with Gordon
Tallis. This is niece.
This is sister. Hey.
Dog walker. Oh damn it, I've forgotten his
name.
All
black is my neighbour. Sam Whitelock.
That's right.
Yeah, but you've moved.
Well, the listeners don't know that.
Ben, you've got a name drop
before we go. We've all done it.
How are you going to score with them?
Nah.
You've got no one that you can name drop?
Nah. No one that I can think of.
You played golf with Tammy Davis from Outrageous Fortune the other week.
Oh, yeah, that's pretty cool.
That's awesome.
Yeah, Caleb Clark played a few holes with us as well from Woodlet.
There we go.
No way.
There we go.
There you go, the best one of the whole lot.
We all should all shut up.
We are all cool by association.
Yeah.
I'm a better golfer than him.
Oh.
Woo.
Go Ben.
How about rugby?
That's not important
Right, whatever day you're listening to this on
Just remember, back in the past
Oh, it's alright
It's pretty
Don't come here
If you've got a time machine and you're listening to this, don't come here
I was the only one who answered the question, I'm really sorry
About whether or not you go
Forward or back
What about you guys? Ironically, we're out of time I'm really sorry about whether or not you go forward or back. Yeah.
What about you guys?
Ironically, we're out of time.
Yeah.
If only we had a time machine.
Hey, Google, what's the time?
It's 3 p.m.
Give or take a minute.
Alexa, play ZM on iHeartRadio.
Playing ZM on iHeartRadio. Hey, Siri, when are Bree and Clint on?
Bree and Clint are on air in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
Hi everybody, welcome to the show. It's Brie and Clint.
What's today? Tuesday.
Tuesday, yeah.
What do we say?
Cheugy Tuesday.
Cheugy Tuesday. That's on the show today.
If you don't know what Cheugy is...
Watch out, you might be Cheugy.
I was going to say, it's probably because you're Cheugy.
In every friendship group, there's one chuggy.
And if you don't know who the chuggy is, it's you.
That's not something that people say.
It's just, look, we're trying things out at the moment.
Well, how would you describe it real quick?
Because or else people are going to be like, what is it?
Something that used to be cool and then got so cool that it's now uncool.
Yeah.
But some people don't realise that it's uncool yet and they're still doing it.
So it's chuggy.
Look, it's a bit mean, the word, but also...
Clint attacked Rose Gold as being chuggy earlier today.
I reckon Rose Gold is chuggy.
Yeah, no, you're probably right.
It had its moment.
And then Kmart, this is what happened.
It has its moment.
And then Kmart makes everything out of it.
Kmart makes everything out of it.
Kmart alone.
Kmart is the one thing that holds my sanity together.
I know where to stop.
I know where to stop.
That was the line.
I can see the whites of your eyes.
I'll just shut up now.
Today on the show, the Travel Bubble is open again.
We've got more flights to Rarotonga.
So if you'd like to go,
be listening at 4 o'clock as
we add the last item to the cart, and then call
us at 5 with all of them, and you'll be off.
You weren't meant to tell them.
It's that place. It's there
every week. Oh, it's there every week. Yeah, every day.
Every day. That's the only place we're going.
I'm like, why are you giving away one of the items?
That's not how the game works. That's the only place we're going
this week. Right. Yeah.
So you've already got one item, and now you just need the other four.
Perfect.
Next, though, we're going to play Tradie vs. Lady.
A bunch of questions, most of them relating to today,
and a bit of a battle to score yourself $50 cash thanks to KFC.
Come on, you know you want it.
Call us 0800-DIAL-ZM and go head-to-head against another person.
With your brain.
Yeah.
We'll do it next.
ZM.
Free and Clint.
Free and Clint.
Tradie versus Lady.
All right, Tradie versus Lady.
A quiz, some of the current news events,
some questions just thrown in there for good measure.
Yeah, basically play this game.
You don't need to watch the news tonight.
Pretty much.
We'll keep you updated.
The news are superfluous.
Listen to this.
You can drop out of university.
That's how much info there is in there.
We go ladies versus tradies today.
Our lady is from Christchurch.
She's 24 and she used to be a cave guide.
What?
That terrifies me.
Welcome to the show, Hannah.
Hi, Hannah. You mean like the Waitomo Caves or something? That terrifies me. Welcome to the show, Hannah. Hi, Hannah.
You mean like the Waitomo Caves or something?
That's it, yeah.
Oh, my God.
I did that, the Glow Worm Caves in Waitomo.
Yeah.
And it was one of the coolest things I've ever done.
Not keen to be stuck underground.
Thank you very much.
I don't care how glowy the worms are.
I'm not keen.
You abseil into the opening, into the abyss, and then you, what's it called?
Fox.
Flying fox through the cave.
Zip line.
Yeah, zip line.
In the complete darkness.
And then you jump into the water, into a tube in the cave.
Sounds very Thai soccer boy, soccer team to me.
And then you float down this weird water
and then you have to climb out through this waterfall
out into the opening.
Sounds terrifying.
It's incredible.
You're playing, Hannah, our tradie today
who is also a lady.
She's 27 years old and she's from Auckland
and she fosters kittens.
Welcome to the show, Katie.
Hi, Katie.
Hello.
What type of kittens?
Just any kittens that need a home?
Yeah, any sick ones usually.
Sick kittens.
Okay, guys.
Bless your heart.
Katie, your buzzer is tradie.
Hannah, your buzzer is lady.
First to three correct answers will take home 50 bucks cash thanks to KFC.
Here we go.
Question number one.
Tomorrow is the night of the blue supermoon.
No, the blood supermoon. Sorry, the blue supermoon will be visible.
No, the blood supermoon.
Sorry, the blue supermoon.
Let's start again.
Yeah.
Tomorrow is the night the blood supermoon will be visible from New Zealand.
Will the rusty red moon be a solar eclipse or a lunar eclipse?
I don't know.
Clint?
Katie, I think.
Is it lunar?
It is a lunar eclipse.
Nice work. One to the? It is a lunar eclipse. Nice work.
One to the tradies.
Question number two.
Currently, how many Fast and the Furious movies are there in the franchise?
Notting.
Katie.
Notting.
Oh, should I say the last part?
No.
Katie buzzed in before you said the last bit.
So, Katie.
Is it not including Paul Rudd, which I think would make it six.
Well, Paul Rudd was Ant-Man, so that's wrong.
I was going to say not including Hobbs and Shaw.
Hannah, do you want to guess?
Nine.
Nine is right.
Yeah.
Well done.
What a stab in the dark.
That's amazing.
There is currently nine in the Fast and the Furious franchise
with number 10 coming out next year.
Because we need more Fast and the Furious.
Hey, I can never get enough.
One point each.
Here we go.
Question number three.
All right, here we go.
The Friends reunion we've all been waiting for airs in two days' time.
What was the name of Ross's first wife?
Was it Sally?
Oh, Katie, straight in there. Oh, wait, Katie, did you buzz in with Katie?? Was it Sally? Oh, Katie straight in there.
Oh, wait, Katie.
Did you buzz in with Katie?
No, Trady.
Oh, Trady.
Yes, Katie.
Whatever works.
But now I've gone blank.
Emma?
No, that was his first daughter.
Daughter, yeah.
That he had with Rachel.
Hannah, do you want to guess?

We're all tied up. We're all tied up.
We're all tied up.
This is tie break.
All right, question number five.
Tell me where you would hear this sound.
Ladies.
Yes, Hannah, for the win.
Oh, it's a game show.
Oh, God, what game show is it?
No, Katie, for the win. Is it when you start up a Windows computer? show is it? No.
Katie, for the win.
Is it when you start up a Windows computer?
No, we're going to play it again.
I think it's worth it. I'm going to play it again. You'll kick yourself.
Watch this out. Are they both going to have another guess?
You're both back in for this, okay? Whoever buzzes in.
What is it?
Hey, Katie.
Oh, I heard Katie. Katie, just. Is it Netflix? It is Netflix! What the hell?
What a game! Good game, guys. Congratulations, Katie. 50 bucks cash thanks to KFC coming
your way. Thanks, thank you. I was on the edge of my seat for that one. Bree and Clint.
If you're married, or actually if you're just in a relationship of any sort and you guys are living together, according to experts,
could be time for a divorce.
Could be time to split up in the bedroom.
I did read about this.
It's quite interesting modern take on the relationship.
Yeah.
It's called a sleep divorce, and it keeps coming up in the news at the relationship. Yeah. It's called a sleep divorce
and it keeps coming up in the news at the moment.
Experts recommending a sleep divorce.
You have a sleep divorce
when you go out on the town and you come home.
You're allowed in the same room.
Yeah, I've voluntarily divorced myself.
That's when you guys have a, you know,
on and off again sleep divorce.
We used to have a spare room, but now we've had another kid.
It's just me on the couch.
Which I think, you know, yeah, on those nights we have a sleep divorce
and it's great for my marriage.
Why?
What's wrong with you when you come home from a big night?
I end up snoring really, really bad.
You're a heavy sleeper after a few beers.
I think that's it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Nothing else.
Nothing sinister.
No, it wasn't.
I'm not like, hey, wake up, daddy's home.
Hey, babe, it's me.
I wasn't alluding to that, but thank you.
Oh, good.
As long as we've got it clear.
Thank you for sharing.
Let me talk about a sleep divorce, okay?
This is really weird.
I don't know if I believe it, but recent research suggests that almost half of couples choose
to sleep apart for an average of four nights a week.
Yeah, that's quite a few.
Half of relationships out there are spending half the week apart.
What, they're saying 50% of people do this?
Yeah.
Nah, I call BS.
They say it's good for your relationship
and it improves sleep quality because you get a night by yourself.
I believe that.
Which in turn improves your relationship overall.
Queen Elizabeth had a sleep divorce for most of her 73-year marriage.
Did she?
Yeah, they had separate bedrooms.
I saw it on The Crown.
Really?
Oh, well, it must be true.
No, it is true, though.
It is true.
It is true.
It is true.
And if you're worried about losing intimacy,
experts say that the most important bit is establishing a bedtime routine.
Schedule.
Yeah, in which you go.
Put it in, put it on the calendar.
Put it on the calendar.
Go and spend an hour in each other's bed each night.
Ooh, a sleepover.
I like the idea of hopping in their bed and just being like,
so, is anything going to happen?
That's so awkward.
And you lie there for a bit and then they go,
it's not going to happen.
And you go, cool, I'll go to my own bed.
It's like living with a flatmate.
What?
Like, do you know what I mean?
Oh, I thought you meant the hopping into each other's bed bit.
I was like, what goes on at your flat?
For some people.
Remember our old producer, producer Ellie?
Yeah.
That's how her relationship started.
I thought you were going to say she was getting in her flatmate's beds.
Well, she was.
That's how her and her boyfriend got together. We want to say she was getting in her flatmate's beds. Well, she was. That's how her and her boyfriend got together.
We want to talk this afternoon to people who have a sleep divorce.
Like, do you and your partner have separate beds?
I reckon this is common.
Really?
I believe it is common, yes.
I can imagine it in severe snoring cases.
I think there's other reasons.
Or if one of you is like a night shift worker or maybe,
but I think it happens, but I don't think it's that common.
Or if you hate the touch of your significant other.
That's a thing.
Yeah, exactly.
That's a thing.
Or you've just had enough of them for the entire day,
so you're like, nah.
You've been together for 11 years and you're like, you know what?
I've had enough.
There's nothing here for me.
You're fine, but I don't want to share a bed with you.
Like just even the thought of them touching you during the night is like...
Why don't you call us this afternoon and convince the rest of the country
that a sleep divorce is the way of the future.
Do you believe in it?
Does it work for you?
0800 dials to them or you can text your experience into 9696 as well.
Call now.
Maybe your partner's not listening right now.
So you can tell us what you really think.
The buzzword at the moment is sleep divorce.
They reckon in your relationship,
you should get sleep divorced.
And it doesn't mean you break up as a couple.
It means you have your own bedrooms and your own beds
and you sleep separately.
It just means you're slowly breaking up.
I'm just kidding.
It's like a long distance relationship. It's just delaying the inevitable. Yeah. I'm just kidding. It's like a long distance relationship.
It's just delaying the inevitable.
Yeah.
I'm actually all for this.
Like not in my relationship,
but I think it really works for some people.
Yeah.
Well, people are saying it works for them.
Someone's texted and said,
a sleep divorce is the way of the future.
It actually helps with intimacy and keeping things exciting.
Well, there you go.
Because I guess you're right about sleepovers.
It would be like you're going to visit.
Yeah, it's like something exciting and different.
And every now and then you can wake up in a different bed.
You know?
You're like, where am I?
So we're asking you guys, do you have a sleep divorce?
Do you believe that sleep divorce is the way of the future?
Sean's here.
G'day, Sean.
Hi, Sean.
Hey, how's it going?
Good, thanks.
Is this something that works in your relationship?
Yeah, it does. I'm a shift worker, and also our youngest son still sleeps with mum,
so I'm in my own room, got the TV and everything.
It's awesome.
So when you get home, the bed's already full.
There's no room for you anyway?
No, no, no, not normally.
Yeah, right, okay.
What kind of hours do you do, Sean?
Not six at night until six in the morning. Yeah, right. Yeah, right. Okay. What kind of hours do you do, Sean? Nine, six at night till six in the morning.
Yeah, right.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay, so sleep divorce works for you guys.
That's a practical way.
Did you notice, Sean, what Sean said?
What?
He goes, yeah, I'm set.
I've got my own room, the TV in my room.
I do kind of like that part of it.
Hey, I'd be stoked.
I wonder if he's got any posters of bikini babes up in his bedroom too.
It's his room.
He can do what he wants.
He can do what he wants.
Anne-Marie's here.
Hi, Anne-Marie.
Hi, Anne-Marie.
Hi.
Keen for a lady's opinion.
Sleep divorce.
Do you think it's a good idea?
Yes, I do.
What's happened in your relationship?
How's it working for you?
So over a year ago, like when COVID started, we thought I had it.
So I was in isolation in my bedroom.
Oh, okay.
We had to do this in my household too, Anne-Marie.
Isn't it the weirdest thing?
You're in ISO in your own house.
Yes, yep.
It's very strange.
Okay, so you got used to sleeping in separate beds.
And what?
What is it about it that you like it that means you've carried on with it?
I sleep better.
And because I'm on my phone at night or my husband's on his iPad,
we don't annoy each other.
One's up later than the other.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
And also I have a CPAP machine, so that doesn't help either.
Oh, yes, which can be quite loud.
Yeah, okay.
All right.
Works for you.
Thanks, Emery.
A lot of texts coming through on this.
Someone said, my partner and
I have separate bedrooms because
of his snoring. I still have to wear
earplugs every night. We have slept
separately for the last three years.
I'm finally not tired
after all this time being together for
15 years. I'd love to know how many relationships
snoring has destroyed. Like, without
people even knowing it, they just slowly
start to resent each other
because they're not
getting enough sleep.
Kristen's here.
Hi, Kristen.
Hi, Kristen.
Hiya.
Why do you like the idea
of a sleep divorce?
Oh, same thing.
Sleep.
Especially getting some sleep.
My husband has a terrible snore.
Really?
He could wake up
my grandfather
who's deaf
in a few rooms,
you know. The vibration. I thought you were going to say your grandfather who's deaf in a few rooms, you know.
The vibration.
I thought you were going to say your grandfather who's dead.
I was like, wow.
That is a talent.
That is some strong snoring.
It says here that you've had a sleep divorce for 10 years now.
Not to get too personal, but how do things like, you know,
the other relationship stuff, how does that work?
We put ourselves to bed at night.
We, yeah, cuddle time.
No, I mean, how do you get time, you know, that time together?
How do you get...
Because, you know, normally...
Cuddle time and bedtime still.
Yeah.
Oh, wait, see.
Oh.
Oh, so you have a cuddle first and then you toddle off to your own beds.
You got it.
Oh, see, that makes sense.
Let me guess,
the cuddles happen in your bed
so you can kick them out
when you're ready?
Yes.
I love it, Chris.
You can have your cake
if you need it too, Chris.
I love it.
Because if he starts falling asleep,
it's that big nudge,
all right, time to go.
Off you go, you big loaf.
Go back to your room.
Thanks, Chris.
That was great.
Cool.
I really appreciate it.
Bree and Clint.
It's Friday night. Is it him? Bree and Clint, that's That's great. Cool. I really appreciate it. Bree and Clint.
Is it him?
Bree and Clint, that's the Friday song.
Wow, that's the first time we've played the Friday version of the Friday song.
Why would we be playing the Friday song?
I thought we eliminated this problem. Good point.
That must be some kind of clerical error.
We'll get someone on to it.
Okay, good.
From iHeartRadio, this is the Latest. Live from LA with Dean McCarthy.
Dean's with us, our Hollywood correspondent.
This story, Dean, just gets juicier and juicier.
And I think we're all a little bit jealous
because he's out there doing exciting things,
so we're fascinated.
What is the latest on Taika Waititi's love life?
Honestly, if I didn't see the photos for myself,
I wouldn't believe it.
But let me just set the scene for you.
Not only is, as we all now know, he is of course
dating Rita Ora. Super
cool, hot couple. They've been seen out and about
making out. Well, photos have now
appeared that appear to be
taken Sunday morning on
Taika's balcony
where he's not only making out with
Rita Ora, he's also
making out with the star of Thor,
Tessa Thompson. So the three of them are all making out with the star of Thor, Tessa Thompson.
So the three of them are all making out with each other.
Now, go online, Google it.
I'm not kidding.
This is not clickbait.
I'm dead serious.
They've got orange juice in, like, wine glasses.
It's early in the morning.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, Dean.
I need to ask to clarify.
Yeah.
Is Taika making out with Rita at one point?
Yeah. And then does he go over to Tessa and do he make out with her
or do they all make out together at the same time?
Well, I'll give you a good visual.
They're actually both sitting on his lap.
Oh, my God.
So you've got one on one leg, one on the other leg.
They're all in like an embrace.
They look like they're having a blast. They're laughing
in some of the photos. And then it looks like he's definitely
kissing Rita. Then it looks like he's
kissing Tessa. And then apparently it looks like
Oh my God, I've just seen the photo.
Yeah, it's definitely...
There's no doubt that they're all hooking up.
I reckon they're steamed. I reckon
it's rolled into the next day. Because those are
definitely mimosas in that glass.
I reckon it's been a big night.
And I reckon that tomorrow, when they wake up and they see these photos,
they're going to go, oh, no.
Have you guys, here's a question.
Have you guys ever done that?
A three-way kiss?
A three-way kiss.
Um, nah.
You've never experienced?
Nah.
Dean, I wasn't even asking you because I know the answer.
Take a day of the week.
Three the quiet day in.
Maybe not on a Wednesday. Dean's done one
with Taika Waititi. Yeah, well, Dean,
as my fellow three-way
kisser, experiencer,
can I ask, don't you think it's
the weirdest thing in the world? It just
doesn't work. The angles don't work.
It's not a nice time.
You've got to have a couple of tequilas under your skin
or something like that to kind of enjoy it.
Otherwise, it's super awkward.
You always go into it being like, oh, this is going to be so sexy.
This will be so raunchy.
And then once you're there, it's kind of like, you know,
a really horrific movie and you're like, I can't look away.
I'm too deep in this now.
And then there's just no turning back.
That is the latest live out of Los Angeles
with our Hollywood correspondent and three-way kiss expert, Dean McCarthy.
Thanks to Disney's Cruella.
It's in cinemas on the 27th, May 27th
and Disney Plus with Premier Access on May 28th.
Conditions apply.
Bree and Clint.
So obviously last week, big news that the government
made the sick days go from five to ten days that you could take off.
Yeah, double the sick leave coming up.
That was pretty big news.
Yeah.
Great news for some people.
Especially for sickos.
I know.
Which we decided we would call our boss, Ross Boss, and just ask for some sick days off.
It didn't go too well.
No.
Because we haven't had any days off. It didn't go too well. No. Because, look, we haven't had any days off.
No.
But it's interesting because this has come out today
and it's from a website called Student Job
and it's a script that they have pre-written
that they say is very likely to get you the day off.
Really?
Whether or not you're genuinely ill
or you're just trying to get a day off,
they say that this works.
Right, well then.
It's very formal, though, the script.
I feel like, should we ring Ross and I just read the script word for word?
Yeah, don't vary from the script.
Okay.
Because this is how we'll know if it works.
Okay, good.
Okay, we'll give it a go.
Hello. Hello, insert boss's'll give it a go. Hello.
Hello, insert boss's name.
Oh, great, here we go.
I'm just phoning up to say I woke up feeling pretty badly today.
I think I'm coming down with a fever and moving around makes it feel worse.
Can you just get to the bit where this is funny?
Like, what's the thing that you're doing here? I have already booked a doctor's appointment,
as I'm unaware if it is contagious or not.
I should take the day off so I can rest
and hopefully come back tomorrow.
I will answer emails from home
and will rearrange any meetings for a later date.
Thank you for your understanding.
What funny bit
is this trying to be?
Do you want me to say something?
Thank you for your understanding.
F***, is that what you want?
Oh, far out.
You take a day off, okay?
You're stood down.
You're stood down. You work from home tomorrow.
I think you need it more than me.
Man, where did you get it?
I tell you what, I do really need it.
Because of stuff like this, I'm trying to have a meeting.
Yeah, okay, well.
I was just calling to say I am contagious.
You're being like a robot.
What's this thing?
It was a script.
It's a script that they said was foolproof to getting a day off.
You know, like, legitimately, someone can just, like,
send me a text saying, I'm not feeling well.
Can't do work today.
And we'll just figure it out.
I'm texting you now.
See ya.
Bloody hell.
Friends reunion week.
Right.
There's no mucking about this afternoon.
I need five.
We want five. You know what we're here for. Yeah, you know what. I need five. We want five.
You know what we're here for.
Yeah, you know what we're here for.
We're here for two things.
We're here for five in a row.
We're also here to get Shannon, the goat, on here to achieve her goal.
Yeah, because, I mean, we first did this back in 2018.
Yeah.
Do we have the replay of Shannon?
This is Shannon.
She was number five from five in 2018.
And we'll pick it up in attempt two.
Do you know how many claps to put in?
It's four.
Shannon, it's four, okay?
Okay.
Are you ready?
I believe so.
Here we go.
No one told you that was gonna be this way.
No!
Shannon, Shannon!
Shannon, you muffed it again!
Do you want a third attempt?
Okay, go on.
Come on, Shannon.
Come on!
Shannon, you did three!
Gets me every time.
Shannon, where are you?
If you know Shannon, tell her we're looking for her to redeem herself.
She's got till Thursday.
She's got till Thursday.
After this, we're never talking about friends again.
So, five people.
There's actually one spot still available on 0800DALZM if you want to play.
Let's see if we can get five.
Yesterday, we got four.
We'll start with Sarah.
Hi, Sarah.
G'day, Sarah.
Hello.
Tell us how many claps you're going to do.
I'm going to do four. You're going to do four
claps. Yes, Sarah. I feel
the confidence from you. Are you ready?
Yes. Give me a
six. Okay. Alright, she's ready.
She's not ready. Get us off to a good start.
Here we go, Sarah.
Here we go. Let's go.
Wait. Wait a minute. Wait.
Wait a minute.
Wait.
Wait.
Let's go again.
Let's go again, just to be safe.
We believe there was an issue there.
Let's go again, Sarah.
Yeah!
I knew there was an issue.
It was the phone line.
It was the phone line. Sarah, you're awesome.
Well done.
Sarah, nice work.
Under pressure.
Let's go to Chelsea.
Hi, Chelsea.
G'day, Chelsea.
Hello.
Four claps.
You're going to do it, right?
You're going to nail it.
I'm so ready.
I'm ready for this.
You know what's on the line, Chelsea.
Okay, cool.
Come on, mate.
Here we go.
Here we go.
Yep, that was it. That's it.
Nice, Chelsea.
It was just like you were sitting home in your living room
and you nailed it. Just like we practiced.
Okay, let's go to Rebecca. Hi, Rebecca.
G'day, Beck.
You're the halfway point. Wait aay, Beck. You're the halfway point, okay?
Wait a minute, Beck.
I sense a bit of nervous energy.
No, not at all.
Okay, good.
Good, good.
Okay, when you're ready, Rebecca, four claps is all we need.
Okay, come on.
And you'll get us to the halfway point.
You've got this.
You've got this.
Here we go. Here we go.
Yes!
Rock solid.
They were clear.
They were crisp.
Absolutely on point.
Nice bit.
There were no nerves there at all.
Well done, Rebecca.
Still hoping to get Shannon on.
Not sure if she's got through yet.
We do have Monique here. Hi, Monique. G'day, Monique. Hi hoping to get Shannon on. Not sure if she's got through yet. We do have Monique here.
Hi, Monique.
G'day, Monique.
Hi.
Hi.
Monique.
Can you do it?
Yeah.
Yeah, hopefully.
Monique.
Monique, now, you listen to me.
Monique sounds truly nervous.
You listen to Monique.
You listen.
This is your moment.
This is your time.
I know.
No, you've got it, Monique.
Imagine the glory after you get it, okay?
Yeah, okay.
Here we go.
It's all on you, Monique.
You're our fourth of five.
Good luck.
Yes!
He got it!
He got it!
Okay.
See that there?
That's what Michael Jordan felt when he got his,
I mean, how many championships has he won?
Like 15.
Well done, Monique.
That's what he felt, what you're feeling right now.
All right, we're there.
We're at five.
Oh, no.
It's a goal that has eluded us for three years.
And it's not, look, it's not Shannon.
We haven't reached Shannon yet from 2018.
But we do have Jess who stuffed it up yesterday as caller number five.
Welcome back, Jess.
Hi.
Hi, you're here for redemption.
I've got no kids with me this time.
Good God.
Because last time we believed that a kid in the background
added an extra clap.
They always get in the way.
Yeah, so today it's all you, okay, Jess?
You're going to do this, right?
You're going to give us four, which will make five in a row, correct?
Okay.
Okay, Jess, focus.
Focus for a second.
Four claps.
Not five, not three.
Four.
Here we go.
Here we go. So no one told you life was gonna be this way
They got it!
It's five from five!
Well done, Jessica.
You have redeemed yourself this afternoon.
Bloody!
Yeah!
You could have been the Shannon of 2021,
but no, not today, not tomorrow.
You've done it.
Thank you.
Bloody legend.
See, all you need to do is get rid of those bloody kids.
You've got to get back on the horse and try, try again.
And Shannon, if you're listening, that's what we want you to do.
Where are you, Shannon?
Do you know Shannon?
Shannon.
Shannon, we want her on the show before Thursday.
Redemption, it's a real thing.
Jess has got it.
She nailed it.
Shannon needs it too.
If you know her, get in touch.
Start the sirens because there's new fines.
She's a short siren today.
It's a very small fine.
Hang on.
Now there's three or four cop cars.
It's the SWAT group.
The SWAT's here.
We've got a very expensive sound effects department here at ZM
and we are using them.
They're so realistic.
There's a story out today about UK drivers
who are getting fined
for things that they haven't been fined
for before. Right. So it's different
kind of things that you probably haven't heard of.
Can I guess what one of them is?
Yeah, you guess. So UK drivers
and this is in their car
so it's a vehicular based fine.
Yes, it is. Is one of them having a cup of tea
while driving?
I don't know if that's illegal or not but it's not on this list. Is one of them having a cup of tea while driving? Ooh. I don't know if that's illegal or not, but it's not on this list.
Is one of them having a mushy piece while driving?
Mushy piece.
Yeah, is it having mushy peas?
No.
Not having mushy peas.
Is that last one?
This is the last one.
No, it's not having a spotted dick behind the wheel.
Don't ask me again.
You've asked me that question too many times this week.
Devil my eggs, is that a spotted dick?
I'd love a spot of dick.
No, that's not how you say it.
Okay, what are they getting fined for?
Okay, they're getting fined for, you can be fined now in the UK
for wearing baggy jeans.
Really?
A long skirt or dress.
Yeah.
And or the wrong choice of footwear.
How would they know?
You could be running the risk of a $5,000, a £5,000 fine.
For baggy jeans?
Yeah, apparently.
How would a cop know?
This is what I'm wondering.
How would a cop know?
They'd have to profile you and look at you and go, that guy looks like he'd wear baggy jeans. Yeah, apparently. This is what I'm wondering. How would a cop know? They'd have to profile
you and look at you and go, that guy looks
like he'd wear baggy jeans and pull them
over on suspicion. If you get pulled over
for whatever reason
and they see
that you're wearing something like
that, they can find you. They can make the
decision on the spot to find
you. What a load of codswallop.
I know. There's now a dress code.
It's a very British thing to do,
to have a dress code for driving.
You know?
Yeah, there is now a dress code for driving,
but you know the reasons behind?
What?
They're saying that anything that you're wearing
that can hinder your ability to drive is a no-no.
Then they should outlaw high heels as well.
They have.
Oh, is that on there?
It's on the list.
They said footwear, certain types of footwear.
Okay.
Not only stilettos.
Then they should outlaw Birkenstocks.
I don't think Birkenstocks are on the list.
They should be.
They should be for another reason.
It's a fashion crime.
Hey, and don't come at me.
You're allowed to wear Crocs.
You're allowed to wear Crocs.
Don't come at me, Birkenstock lovers,
because I also wear Birkenstocks.
You're allowed to wear Crocs while driving, but only if you put them in sport mode.
Yeah, that's a good point.
Let's be real.
We'll all look back on our Birkenstock days and be like, what are we doing?
Yeah, so apparently, yes, stilettos, some wedges.
Yeah, that makes sense.
Can prove to be a hindrance whilst driving.
And yeah, they're saying they're cracking down on it.
Wow.
Okay.
Interesting to see if it comes over here.
A lot of New Zealand drivers don't wear shoes at all.
So, you know.
Well, you know what else is on the list?
Because there's a lot of different footwear that's on the list that's being, you know, banned.
Yeah.
Flip flops.
Yeah, that makes sense.
Or as we say, jandals.
Jandals.
Or no.
Yeah.
Slides. Yeah. No. No. Slides.
No.
And also...
That's all the footwear we have in New Zealand.
I know.
And also, this one is going to hurt.
It's going to really hurt some people.
Yeah.
They also say you can be fined for wearing your slippers while striving.
Like I said, that is all the footwear we have in New Zealand.
Well, what are we meant to wear?
Nick should be telling me we can't drive in our rugby boots.
Do we have to wear loafers? Do we have to wear a
driving loafer? A steel cat
boat. Let's take some calls this afternoon
on weird finds people have got.
Probably not for your footwear. It might be for your footwear.
Have you been pulled over and
at least they tried to find you
for something weird? You know like
eating whilst driving, you can be
fined? Yeah, what were you eating when you got fined
for eating while driving?
Yeah, what were you chowing down on?
And I'll say it, but you know what I mean.
What were you drinking while driving?
Obviously.
Obviously.
Non-alcoholic.
Yeah, exactly.
What were you doing?
Were you having a shave?
Were you eating a bowl of cereal?
Having a shave?
Brushing your teeth?
Who is having a shave?
Doing your makeup?
We want to know this afternoon on 0800.
Come on, you can remain anonymous.
Yep.
I mean, we're all friends here.
0800 Dial ZM or you can text us on 9696.
What did you get fined for?
We're talking about weird fines because in the UK there's a list that's been released
about different things that they're going to start fining people for.
On the list, wearing high heels or stilettos whilst driving.
Can't wear your slippers either.
No slides, no jandals, no really baggy jeans,
no big long dresses or skirts.
I mean, the list goes on and on.
Like I said before, this is all stuff that's happening below the door.
Below the belt, yeah.
Yeah, they'll only know if they've already pulled you over for something else.
Yeah, you might get a double fine.
That's the problem.
You're going to get double fined.
They'll be like, step out of the vehicle, please, sir.
And you go, I can't.
Why?
I've got skate jeans on.
Put your hand so we can see them.
Get out of the car.
So we want to know this afternoon,
what's the weird thing that you've been fined for?
Probably in your car.
Gareth's here.
G'day, Gareth.
Hi, Gareth.
Hey, guys.
You're living outside the law.
What was it?
What's the weird thing you got fined for?
Drinking my coffee.
Why?
Hey, here's my question for you, Gareth, though.
Was it out of a, you know...
A coffee mug.
A coffee mug,
or was it out of a mug that's appropriate
to take to the car?
Yeah.
It was the normal takeaway cup from the coffee,
you know, my normal coffee place in the morning.
Really?
Are you serious?
That's a bit rough.
So they said to me that it could be classed
as dangerous driving or careless driving,
pending on the police officer's attitude on the day.
Pending on the police officer's attitude on the day. Pending on the police officer's attitude on the day.
Right, okay.
So how much was the fine for having a coffee while driving?
130.
Whoa!
Weeks and weeks of fighting it.
It wasn't deemed there was enough evidence that it was causing a danger
or careless driving, so they dropped the fine.
Gareth, weird question, but what type of milk do you have in your coffee?
Full cream.
Obviously, he was a soy drinker.
Yeah.
The police officer.
Oh, the police.
Oh, right.
That's it.
All right, Gareth, glad to see you're still getting your coffee folks on the road.
Let's go to Tash.
Hi, Tash.
Hi, Tash.
Hi, how are you guys?
Good, thanks.
What was the weird fine you got?
I got fined for eating a burger while I was pregnant.
Oh, Tash. Wait, were you got? I got fined for eating a burger while I was pregnant. Oh.
Wait, were you
driving? Yes, I
was driving. It wasn't just like a fine for
burger while pregnant. That's not a new category of fine.
No, no. I was driving down
the back motorway from
west to Albany. Let's get a few
details on this because if it's a simple cheeseburger
there's not a lot of rust. It's kind of stuck together.
You know, it's pretty small.
It's easy to manage into the crevice.
Yeah, but crevice?
No, I was looking for.
Mouth is the word you're looking for.
No, I was looking for.
Orifice.
Orifice, that's the word I was looking for.
It's like a cheeseburger in your crevice.
Yeah, don't put that in there.
But you know what I'm saying?
But if you're in there and you have like a full KFC tower burger
with an extra hash brown and two chicken fillets inside it,
that could be an issue.
No, it's just a McDonald's Mac chicken burger.
Oh, yeah, pretty easy manage.
I mean, a lot of lettuce coming out of that.
Yeah, you do get a lot of lettuce run off.
I like the pregnancy element, though,
because surely you should have been let off with a warning.
Yeah, I know.
When you stopped me and I said,
no, you can just excuse me.
You know, I am pregnant.
I got hungry. And he's like, yeah, but that's excuse me. You know, I am pregnant. I got hungry.
And he's like, yeah, but that's quite dangerous, you know, ma'am.
And I was like, oh.
Because he would have been like, you know, was it life and death?
And you would have been like, yes.
Yes, for you.
It was.
In this instance, it was.
So what's the fine?
How much for eating a burger while pregnant?
$1.20.
Whoa.
Yay.
Far out.
That's an expensive burger, isn't it?
Yes, one expensive burger.
Very expensive.
Thanks, Tash.
There's quite a lot of good text coming through for this.
Someone said, not sure if this woman got fined or not,
but I saw a lady in the car beside me who was folding her washing.
Whoa.
Okay, some of the fines are warranted.
Yeah, that's taking multitasking to the next level.
Bree and Clint.
Happy Chuggy Tuesday, everybody.
Bree and Clint's Chuggy Tuesday.
Chuggy.
It's been defined as out of date or trying too hard.
Where we, you know, get honest with each other and with you guys.
Because we're all in this conversation.
You're welcome to text through on 9696 what you think is choogy,
something that used to be cool, but people are still using it,
but it's a bit out of date.
Gen Zs think all of us millennials are choogy.
And to be honest, we're all a little bit choogy.
We are.
It's just in your DNA.
Mate, if you looked up in the dictionary choogy,
I would be right there.
I'm right there with you. Anyway, each week we'll go around
and nominate things and try and figure out if they're Choogee.
Now just remember,
it doesn't mean that if it's on this list
we think you should stop doing it.
It's up to you. You've got the power.
It just fits in the category. I'll kick it off.
This week I would like to table, and I need
everybody's input on this. I reckon
what's Choo-choo?
What?
Seltzers.
Oh!
Just have a beer.
Honestly, just grow up and have a vodka cruiser, you know?
They've gone too far.
I know, but seltzers just fit a different kind of, you know.
Having a selfie with them, tagging the people who make them in the post.
No, they don't care, mate.
They're making millions of dollars out of you.
They're like 10 years old in America anyway.
Seltzers.
Behind the trend here.
I feel like I just learnt what one was last year.
Yeah, and all of a sudden
it's the only thing there is to drink.
So I'll put it out there to you guys.
Can I get a yes or no?
Yeah, I'm going to agree with that.
Yeah, I could probably say that, yeah.
It's chewy. Seltzers, yeah. It's choo-gee.
Seltzers? Yep.
That's so choo-gee. I didn't think I was going to get that over the line, but okay.
I feel sad about that one.
Like I said, you don't have to stop doing it.
Because I'm a seltzer drinker.
And Stasia, what's choo-gee?
Like really overused
Instagram captions like
life's a beach,
never a dull moment with this one.
And my favourite, the couple ones,
another lap around the sun.
Yeah, lap around.
Another one, lap around the sun.
Oh, yeah.
Or 365 days with this one.
How many laps can you do with the sun?
Yeah, Sarah, we get it.
Come on, Sarah.
We get it.
You've been together for another year.
Love doing life with this one.
I think that's unanimous, yeah?
Yeah.
That's so choogy.
Okay, Brie, what's choogy?
Mine is quite specific,
and I feel like I might offend a few people.
So one of my favourite types of shoes is Converse.
I love Converse, and I'm not saying Converse is Converse. I love Converse.
And I'm not saying Converse are choo-choo.
I think Converse are very cool.
But do you know the type of Converse that are the really thin ballet flat Converse?
Yes.
I think they might be.
They're like mini Chuck Taylors.
Yeah, like mini Chuck Taylors And they've got like
Two shoelace loops
So is that choogy
Or is that just a shoe
That really offends you
I don't know what it is
They're like slip-ons right
I just look at it
And I feel like
No they're not slip-ons
No
They've got laces
They've got laces
They're tiny
Okay the thin ones
I feel like
It's a deflated converse
Yeah right
Ouch
Look I'm gonna have to give it to you You're, I'm going to have to give it to you.
You're so passionate, I'm going to have to give it to you.
I'm not super passionate.
I'm very cautious because I know there's lots of people that like them.
Doesn't your sister wear them?
And you know what?
Yeah, I think she does.
You know what I think it is?
I think I have quite big ankles, so I can't pull them off.
That's so choogy.
I'm just jealous.
Finally, Producer Ben, what's choogy, bro? jealous Finally producer Ben Watch choogy bro
I was thinking
It's more of an item
That you buy
Something like a
What do you call it
Like a cheesy
Welcome home
Mat that you have
At the doors
Or a little sign
On the door
That says
You're home now guys
All my family
Most of them
Home is where the beer is
That's it
Blah blah blah
Those are all mats
That you get
Gather here
You know what
One is in the front of my door?
Shantae, you stay.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I think there's a word for it, Ben, and you're right.
It's word art.
Yeah.
Word art on the wall.
That's so choogy.
For a while.
And like we said, you don't have to stop doing any of these things.
We're all a bit choogy.
All of us probably do all four of them.
Especially the seltzers. Yeah, I'm going to go buy a pair.
I've greeted three of them before work today.
Converse ballet flats.
Interesting article
out today, Clint, and it's
talking about the names of Australians
most likely to win the lotto.
Is it Mecca?
Robbo?
Muzza? Jacko?
They're all at the top.
No, it actually just talks about the names with the first initials
that are most likely to win.
So apparently J had the most wins last year in the lotto
and then followed closely by A and then D.
Right.
Don't know any Australians with those letters.
No.
No.
You know what name does come to mind?
What?
My childhood friend, Katie Drage.
Obviously, there's no K in there, but we know she's won the lotto a few times.
She's a D as well.
Yeah, yeah.
She does have a D, yeah.
She does have a D in there.
If you've listened to our show for a long time, you would know that Clint and I have rang my mum on multiple occasions
where I've tried to trick my mum into believing
that my childhood friend from Stanthorpe, where I'm from, won the lotto.
Katie Drage!
No!
She's won!
Are you kidding me?
It says here Katie Drage from Stanthorpe, Queensland,
has picked up the $14 million.
No.
My God.
I'm so rascal.
I can't believe it.
It says that she's only claimed it in, like, the last 24 hours.
Oh, my God.
She was pretty excited for Katie Drage.
And, you know, look at the time.
I think it's about that time of the year, Clint,
where we call my mum and tell her that Katie Drage has picked up the Powerball.
What a coincidence.
Okay, I've got to get in the zone.
I've got to pretend like I'm excited.
Oh, my God.
Mum.
Hello.
Oh, my God, Mum. Hello. Oh, my God, Mum.
What?
You wouldn't believe it.
What?
Guess what?
What?
She's won.
I've won?
No, she.
She?
Who?
Yes, Katie Drage has won the lotto.
No, I don't know about that.
Katie Drage has won the $40. No, I don't know about that. Katie Drage has won the
$40 million Powerball.
I don't know, Brianna.
I don't know about that.
I'd like her to have won it.
Really? No, it's true.
She's won. It's just come
out online. She's definitely
won. This is definitely not the third
time I've tried to stitch you up with this
exact same phone call, but she has won this time.
I promise you.
Are you kidding me?
What the hell?
What are the odds that I would have called you
and tried to prank you with this exact situation that is unfolding now?
She's won the 40 mil.
No.
Really? Mama Di, you got 40 mil. No. Really?
Mama Dot, you got...
Unbelievable.
No, no, no.
No.
Don't you fall for it.
You need to stop believing this woman.
I know she's your flesh and blood,
but she does not have your best interest at heart, okay?
This is the third time she's tried to get this shit joke over the line.
And yes, the first time you took a hook line and sing it, very funny.
Second time, also very funny.
This time, this is just cruel, okay?
I can't believe you've ended up believing it.
I just want to believe it so much.
Yeah, I know.
I think that's the meanest part.
Oh, no, wait.
It was her mum, Donna Drage's wife.
Oh, Brianna, you know what?
No ribs for Brianna tonight.
Bri and Clint.
The Friends reunion is on TV this Thursday
and we're very excited about it.
I am.
Well, I'm very excited about it.
You know that I'm the biggest Friends fan here.
Full stop.
Full stop.
Period.
Look, we're all very excited. I knew that would rile you up, we're all very excited.
I knew that would rile you up.
We're all very excited.
We tried to pretend we weren't excited.
And then we saw the trailer for it.
We're like, oh, we don't even want to see it anymore.
It's been too long.
And then we saw the trailer and we're like, okay.
We're excited.
We need to see this.
One of the Friends cast this week is having a bit of their family dirty laundry aired in public.
Because their dad is giving out interviews
about their personal relationship.
And dad's not famous.
Dad just wants to spill some tea.
No, dad wants a payday.
I reckon he got paid for it.
Yeah, true, actually.
Dad's looking to make some money.
The French star, it's this guy.
What I do is I look a woman up and down and I say,
Hey, how you doing?
Actually, I don't think you could get away with that in 2021.
I don't think you could get away with going up to a woman
and looking her up and down and going, how you doing?
That was a different time, right?
What would it be in 2021?
Respectfully going over and introducing yourself at a safe distance.
Yes.
Consensually, how are you doing?
How you doing?
It doesn't quite have the same punch. Yes. Consensually, how are you doing? How are you doing? Doesn't quite have the same
punch. No. Matt LeBlanc's dad
is doing interviews saying that he hasn't
spoken with Matt in nine years
and that they had
a falling out over a motorbike.
Apparently it was
a motorbike that he bought his dad,
right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. When he made his money, he
bought his dad, Matt LeBlanc, Joey, bought his
dad a motorbike. So what's the problem?
That seems like a lovely thing to do.
Dad gave the motorbike away, so they had a falling out over it,
and they don't talk.
Wait, what do you mean he gave it away?
So he buys him this motorbike, and the dad gave the motorbike away.
He sold it, you mean, for money?
Well, quite possibly.
Come on.
Say it for what it is.
Quite possibly.
He obviously was like, I want the money.
Maybe, yeah.
The backstory to all of this is that the dad's not telling us
that dad walked out on Matt LeBlanc and his mum when he was a kid.
He left when he was like three years old.
Really?
And moved to Australia and had nothing to do with him growing up.
Wait, Matt LeBlanc's dad has been living in Australia?
Yeah.
What? Yeah, and he had nothing to do with him growing up. And then when heBlanc's dad has been living in Australia? Yeah. What?
Yeah, and he had nothing to do with him growing up.
And then when he got famous, he came back and he was like,
hey, buy me a house kind of thing.
And you do, you try and keep your parents happy.
And he did, he bought him a house and all this stuff.
Yeah, but did his dad deserve it?
Well, it doesn't sound like it, no.
No, because then he was ungrateful and then sold all the things
he bought him anyway.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's one of those relationships.
It's one of those.
Oh, that sucks.
I feel bad for him.
So they don't talk.
And that's okay.
If you don't have a good relationship with a family member,
you don't have to talk to them.
Sometimes, you know, and over the years,
I've seen some of my friends struggle within their families.
And, you know, I always say to people,
sometimes, you know, you can pick your friends,
you choose who your friends are,
but you can't choose
who your family is
and sometimes
they're not always good for you.
Yeah right.
You know sometimes
family members can be toxic
and that's just how it is.
Also sometimes in families
you can have fights
over stupid things
because you're too close
to each other.
Well ain't that the truth.
So let's take all the heavy stuff out.
Sometimes you can end up
punching your brother
in the face over
that's a bit far isn't it?
Over a sandwich.
That just really, really
took it up a notch.
Sorry I got you.
You know let's take it down a bit
and let's keep it light. Sometimes you can punch
your brother in his face.
You've got siblings. You know what I'm talking about.
I know what you're talking about. You know exactly what I'm talking about.
Sometimes things get so heated.
I remember at one point, and this was not that long ago, a few years ago.
No, probably about five or six years ago.
My sister and I at Christmas time, and I remember it was Christmas time,
we got into a fight for who knows why,
and the Christmas tree was collateral damage.
Well, you guys took down the Christmas tree.
We tackled each other into the Christmas tree
and the Christmas tree was a real one.
It was like nine feet tall
and it came tumbling down and hit the TV.
You were pulling pine needles out of your butt for weeks.
Absolutely.
So we want to know this afternoon,
what was the family fight over?
Might have been super serious like Matt LeBlanc
or might have been super stupid
and maybe it caused a rift
and maybe you haven't spoken to that family member for ages or
maybe you guys are fine. We just want
to air some family fights on the air
this afternoon. Yeah, whatever it is, the
situation, we'd love to hear from you.
0800 DIAL ZM or you can text
us on 9696.
What is the family fight
that's gone down in your world?
Bree and Clint. We're talking about family
fights and this is very, it's very good.
It's very relatable.
There are a lot of grudges being held here for a very, very long time.
My sister got into a row once because she was like,
you stole my So Fresh CD.
And I was like, I did not.
I didn't steal it.
Anyway, this went on for a month.
Just like to confess.
You did steal it?
I did take it, yeah.
Wow.
You're so possessive as a kid, eh?
She would always get all of the So Fresh CDs
and I'd just get all the, you know, bad ones.
I'd never want my brothers listening to my CDs.
Yeah, my sister would never share.
Yeah, right.
I wanted to listen to Mandy more.
So we want to know this afternoon,
what was your family fight about, serious or otherwise?
You can air it here with us this afternoon.
Andy's caught up.
G'day, Andy.
Hi, Andy.
Hello.
What was your family fight over?
Well, to be honest, I can't really remember.
I'd have been about eight and my older sister would have been about 10,
but we were fighting over something, but I managed to get under her skin that night.
I was lying down on the floor and she comes storming out of her bedroom,
stomped on my chest and broke my ribs.
No!
Does she feel bad about it?
Not at the time.
Is she in the UFC now?
She could be.
We're golden now, but back then we used to have a few bickers.
Yeah, but Andy, like they always say, people don't forget.
No.
No, you don't forget.
You've got that on your tab for life.
Someone on the text machine said,
when we were kids, my sister ate the last Tim Tam
and I refused to speak to her for six months.
What about this other one?
This is so well written and I can just picture it.
Someone said, I had a fight with my sister when we were kids.
She turned the computer off before I had a chance to save my gameplay.
So I chased her down the hallway, picked her up and threw her through the front door
of the glass pane of the 1890s villa we lived in.
She flew over the front deck and down the concrete front steps, luckily unhurt
with just a few grazes. See, siblings are ruthless. That's from Rosie.
Yeah, wow. That is crazy are ruthless. That's from Rosie. Yeah. Wow.
That is crazy.
What was the game, Rosie?
I don't even know.
This person wants to remain anonymous,
and that's totally fine.
We are talking about very personal family fights,
but anonymous, what was your family fight over?
My older brother was real missed and iced me out
because I bought a house before him.
What?
Wait, okay, so he's your older brother.
Yeah.
And so he was annoyed.
Yeah, really annoyed.
Well, I think just a little bit kind of gutted,
but like I say, it's not my fault that you have to sell your organs
to live in Auckland.
You're right.
I chose the region.
Yeah, where did you buy your house?
Down in the south of North Island.
I mean, you've got a point, Anonymous. That south of North Island. I mean,
you've got a point,
Anonymous.
That's not your fault.
But also,
be honest with us,
Anonymous.
You are the younger sister
and you bought your house first.
Do you have your stuff
a bit more sorted out
than he does?
I don't know.
Not necessarily.
In some ways,
yes.
In other ways,
no.
It's pretty equal.
Well,
you did a nice amount
over a house purchase
so you got that
on your side,
right?
That's true. Hey, but no hate, no love. We're still tight. Well, you did a nice amount over a house purchase, so you got that on your side, right? That's true.
Hey, but no hate, no love.
We're still tight.
Okay, good.
A few more texts.
Someone said, me and my brother had a fight over Wi-Fi three years ago.
We haven't spoken since.
Over Wi-Fi?
Well, maybe one had Wi-Fi, one didn't,
and that's why they haven't spoken because...
They don't have Wi-Fi.
Exactly.
One more text because this is probably one of my favourites.
Someone texted through and they said,
Playing Monopoly with the in-laws.
My father-in-law started losing so he threw all of his money on the table,
got up and called my sister-in-law a stupid bee.
No.
We didn't see him again for the rest of the night.
You can't do that as in-laws
You can only do that as first
As family family
You can't throw words
But you know Monopoly
Monopoly takes over
Don't play Monopoly with people you're not ready
To have like an all out fist fight with
Finally Sarah
What was your family fight over
So my sister She had all the Harry Potter books and I didn't.
I was back when I was about 11.
And so I was sneaking them out of her book collection.
Yeah, nice, Sarah.
And, well, I took it to school and I broke Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire,
the hardback version.
So when she found out, she smashed it into my face
and gave me a blood nose.
Whoa.
Whoa.
Well, a bit unfair she had all of them and you didn't.
I know, I got all of them after that.
Sarah, if you want to borrow my So Fresh CD, let me know.
Thanks.
Our siblings got to stick together.
The good thing is if they make you bleed,
you don't have to replace whatever it is of theirs that you broke
Yeah
That's sibling law
It's like null and void
Yeah, yeah, yeah
You guys are even, I think
Yeah
Just before we heard that Rosie threw her sister through a glass window
Just for those wondering what was the game that made her throw her through a pane of glass
And down a set of concrete stairs
Oh yeah, what was the game?
We have had contact from Rosie
It was The Sims.
Oh, yeah, The Sims can get quite intense.
She didn't get to save her Sims.
You know, well, that's pretty much like family members.
Yeah, she threw her sister out of a real-life simulation.
So there you go.
Well, warranted, I guess.
All right, here we go. Birthday Banger for a Tuesday.
Three people.
What was number one on their 16th birthdays?
Well, we're going to play the best song.
Let's kick it off with Jay.
G'day, Jay.
Hi, Jay.
Kia ora, how are you guys?
Good, mate, how are you?
I'm pretty good, pretty good.
That's good to hear.
What's your birthday, Jay?
22nd of May, 1996.
All right, you were 16 in 2012 on the 22nd of May.
And in 2012, this was number one.
Ah, Taika Waititi's Girlfriend.
Rita Ora in R.I.P. That was a pretty big song. Do you like it, Jay? Yeah. I Ora and R.I.P.
That was a pretty big song. Do you like it, Jay?
Yeah, I love that song.
Oh, good. Okay. I love when people
love their birthday bangers. Because I don't reckon it's even
top five Rita Ora, but
it's got something, eh? You haven't heard it in ages.
Has she got five?
Has she got five?
I'm just kidding. I love all of her music.
It's kind of Shay. Hi, Shay. G'day, Shay.
Hi, how you doing?
Good, mate.
How are you?
Good, thank you.
What's your birthday, Shay?
1st of October, 1985.
All right.
You were 16 in 2001 on the 5th of October.
And in 2001, this was top of the charts.
The Queen, Mary J. Blige.
Surely got to be a winner.
Surely got to be a winner. Love that song, Jay.
That's an absolute banger.
She's an icon.
She did ZDM's Friday Jams live a few years ago.
She's great.
She's amazing.
And that's a classic too, that song.
Good year to be 16, I reckon, Shay.
That's a good song.
You happy?
It was a great year.
Yeah, good.
Shay, wait.
What's Shay talking?
Did you hear it?
It was a great year.
Yeah, I don't really remember it, but it was a great year.
It was an absolute ripping year.
Shay, you were only 16.
What were you up to?
I just mean I was really good at school and things like that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Me too, Shay.
I totally relate on that level with you.
Let's do one more for Emily.
Kia ora, Emily.
Welcome to Birthday Banger.
Oh, hi there.
How's your Tuesday been, Em?
Oh, very good, thank you.
Oh, excellent.
Just getting home.
Love it.
Well, let's see if we can make it better.
What's your birthday?
It's the 12th of February, 1977.
All right, you were 16 in 1993 on the 12th of February. And in the early 90s, this went
to number one.
Uh-oh. Oh no, Emily!
Emily, you have what is commonly
referred to as the Joker.
It's the Joker card that trumps it all.
Oh, does it really?
Yeah, this song, just so you know, has never lost in Birthday Banger.
The feature is largely built on this song.
And for this to not win, one of us would have to break ranks and vote against it.
Wait, Emily, the way you're talking, I feel like you're not a fan.
No, I don't mind the song, but I actually preferred Mary J. Blige.
Okay, good to know, Emily.
Good to know.
Unfortunately, you don't ever vote, but we can take that into account.
Now, Brie and I need to ask each other very clearly, and I'll start.
Brie, are you willing to vote against Whitney Houston's
I Will Always Love You This Afternoon?
I mean, you know, people might say that I'm not a big fan of Whitney Houston,
even though I've named my dog after her,
and I have all the T-shirts.
But, yeah, that doesn't mean I can't sway.
You could be swayed.
I could be swayed.
And Mary J. Blige is not going to sway me.
It's Whitney Houston all day, baby.
Good to know.
Good to know.
Okay, so you're locking in Whitney Houston.
I'm locking it in.
Great.
What about you?
Well, look, it's a very good Rita Ora song.
But this afternoon...
You just said it wasn't even top five.
The winner of Birthday Banger is Whitney Houston.
Thank you, mate.
Oh, bring it on.
Yes, Emily.
Sing it loud, mate.
Oh, now you want to hear Whitney Houston.
Now you want to come back over.
Oh, hey, Whitney. You've got to be a winner. Now you want to come back home. Oh, there went me.
Got to be a winner.
There we go.
Green Clothes, Birthday Banger on ZM.
Your way, so I'll go.
But I know I'll think of you every step of the way.
And I will always love you
We'll always love you
You, my darling, you Bittersweet memories
That is all I'm taking with me
So goodbye, please don't cry with me so goodbye please
don't cry
we both know
I'm not what you
you need
and I
will always
love you
I will always love you I hope life treats you kind
And I hope you have all you've dreamed of
And I wish you joy and happiness
But above all this, I wish you love
And I will always love you
I will always love you
I will always love you
I will always love you.
I will always love you.
I will always love you. Love you
Darling, I love you
I'll always, I'll always love you
It remains undefeated.
Whitney Houston's I Will Always Love You
wins birthday banger again.
Can't deny that that song doesn't make you feel things.
Yeah, we're getting text messages from people who are feeling things.
Yeah, someone texted through and they said,
great, 120 kilo man having a wet cry in his car now.
I love the description of a wet cry.
Yeah.
What's, you know, a dry cry?
That's a thing.
Is it?
Yeah.
Is it?
Is that just a moan?
Like, yeah, just a whimper.
Nothing will come out.
Right.
Yeah, like we said, it's one of the only songs that's never been defeated in Birthday Banger,
and it's the Joker, Whitney Houston's song, I Will Always Love You.
Someone else, some would argue, you know, that's where this whole segment really took off for us.
That's where it galvanised us.
Was playing that song, and Ross Boss stormed the studio to try and stop it.
But he could not take us down.
He sealed his own fate that day.
He did.
Bree and Clint.
All right, here we go, Clint.
Kick off our soon-to-be award-winning radio segment.
Ah, Bree's Psychic Radio.
The people wanted this back.
This was such a flop.
No, it wasn't.
The people loved it. And I think This was such a flop. No, it wasn't. The people loved it.
And I think it was 99% there.
Last week, we tried to find a very specific woman
with a very specific hair colour, name and dog.
And you didn't, you didn't,
at best you got three out of five, I reckon.
No, we got four out of five.
We got four and a half.
The only thing that was wrong is she was 27, not 28.
Last week, we were looking for a Sarah.
Not this week, though.
I've rethought this.
I've tapped into my psychic powers.
And if you haven't heard this before,
it's where we put out specific details about a person
and you need to have every one of those details.
And it's called Psychic Radio.
Yeah.
Because through the power of Radio Clint.
Because it's a scam, just like real psychics.
This people, this person is going to come to us.
This people?
You shut up.
Go on.
Who are you looking for?
Here we go.
The person I'm looking for this afternoon.

That's all I could tap into from the cosmos.
Our psychic has gone as generic as possible.
That is.
Back New Zealand's most popular car.
Hey, hey.
Some would say I need to get some runs on the board before we fly.
All right, I'm looking for an Emma.
Emma, 31,

red. If that's you, please
I need you to call.
If you know someone that fits that bill,

Were we?
We're just pretty good in psychic world.
Pretty close. Is that what psychics say? Psychics, we're pretty close. Were we? Which is pretty good in psychic world. Pretty close.
Is that what psychics say?
Psychics, we're pretty close.
We're about roundabout.
This afternoon, here's the deal.
I've put out really specific details about a particular person and you need to have all the details.
Well, that's what Clint says, for it to be a win.
You do have to have all the details.
Otherwise, it's just a similarity.
Yeah, but I mean, in New Zealand, if you're close, that's pretty good.
Come on, give the details.
Okay, here's the details.

Well, brunette.
So would you say are you a natural brunette?
Yeah, definitely.
I am probably.
It's definitely a dusty, dirty blonde.
We'll take it.
Sounds like brown to me.
A dusty, dirty blonde.
You know what?
Roll with that.
Roll with that.
Come on, give it to me.
Let's just roll with that.

Thanks, Em.
It was worth a shot.
Wait, we've got one more.
We've got one more.
Hi, Emma.
Hello?
Your name's Emma?
Yes, my name is Emma.
Oh, my God, this could be the chosen one.
I feel it in my psychic waters that this could be it, but let's see.
Emma, how old are you?
I'm 31.
So excited, that's a tick.
Emma, please tell me you're a brunette.
I am brunette.
Clinton's another tick.
Okay, we've got two more things and we could have a win here.
Emma, what type of car do you drive?
I drive a Suzuki Swift.
Stop it.
Are you ready for this?
Wait
This is it
This is what happened last week
And it all came crashing down
Okay, this is what happened
Last week we found a dog name
So far
We've got four
Out of the five
Specific things
Emma
Emma
I don't want anybody to fail here
But man, I hope you've got a green car
I really hope you've got a green car
My butt cheeks
Are so clenched.
Okay, Emma, 31, brunette, drives a Suzuki Swift.
We're looking for a red Suzuki Swift.
What colour is your car?
My car is red.
We did it!
In your face, Clint!
In your face!
Wow, wow.
We really found her.
Who would have thought there was a 31-year-old New Zealand woman
with a red slift out there?
Oh, you always have to go right on out for me.
What are the frigging chances?
Emma, you bask.
You are the champion.
What are the chances?
I'm so proud of everyone involved.
I'd like to thank my mum.
I'd like to thank you, Clint, for not believing in me but letting me do it.
Get that real Suzuki slip to a museum.
There must be none of those around.
Psychic Radio, back for another week.
No, that's it.
We're done.
Yes, we're going to do it again next week.
So it's done.
You won.
You won.
Mission accomplished, surely.
There's an original character description that's been released
in the lead-up to the Friends reunion.
Yeah, I saw this.
And if you don't know what that is,
essentially it's a little blurb about each character on Friends
which they would have given to the actors or actresses
before they went into the role.
They would have said, base Rachel on this.
Yeah, exactly.
Base Joey on this.
Do you want an example?
Yeah, go on. Who do you want an example? Yeah, go on.
Who do you want to hear?
Which, who?
I want to hear Chandler's description.
Okay, Chandler's description was dry, an observer of everyone's life
and his own, works in front of a computer doing something tedious
in a cubicle in a non-scripted office building,
survives by the way of his sense of humour and snacks.
That is so, and straight away.
That's so Chandler.
Because no one's got any idea what he does for a job.
He's a transponster.
He's a transponster.
Yeah, so we thought it'd be fun this afternoon
where we could all write each other's description
if we were to be a character in a TV show.
Yeah, right.
If we were to appear on Friends tomorrow as ourselves,
how would you describe our characters?
Yeah, exactly.
This is good.
We've written one for each other.
And what are we going to do?
Are we going to read out our own?
Yeah, let's read out our own.
So all like the other three members of our team,
so producer Anastasia, producer Ben,
we've all got our heads together and written some ones.
Yeah.
We haven't seen our own.
No.
Who would like to read their description first?
I don't mind.
Go producer Ben.
I'm excited for these.
So if you were appearing on Friends tomorrow, this would be the description of your character.
Yeah.
Okay, cool.
I'll start with my name.
Ben.
Moustache.
Christchurch.
Golf. Steak. Sport.
Tough guy on the outside with a soft gooey centre.
A true romantic. Just don't say it to his face.
How good is Christchurch? Alleged to prawns.
Yeah, that's Ben.
That is so spot on. I know exactly who that person is.
Anastasia, you're up. Let's hear your character.
Anastasia, horse girl, expensive belt, very single.
Pals.
Regularly seen at cool events.
Runs a double life.
Auckland Anastasia and Christchurch Anastasia.
Two very different people.
I can't read that.
What?
What? What?
Once spewed in two herbas in one night.
If her parents
know how many
standard drinks
she has each weekend
they would revoke
her allowance
which doesn't exist.
That's Anastasia.
I know exactly
who you're talking about.
Did they stop your allowance?
I've never had an allowance.
Did they?
What a huge joke.
This is a stitch up.
I'll go next if you want.
All right.
So we've all written this.
We've all written Bree's character description.
She hasn't seen it yet.
But if you were to appear on Friends tomorrow, how would they describe you?
Australian, nose-piercing, millennial side part, farts,
claims to be Italian yet has never been to Italy,
represented a country in a sport no one cares about.
What's triple message Channing Tatum?
Left on scene.
Hot mum!
Nice.
I know exactly who Brie is.
Based off that, I think I know exactly who she is.
That's true.
That's very accurate.
You do have a very hot mum.
Just because I've never been to Italy
doesn't mean I'm not half Italian.
You've eaten a lot of Italian food.
Oh my God, that is such a breathing to say.
Oh, shut up.
That is such a breathing.
Shut up, you people.
Your turn.
This is your description if you were a character on Friends.
Okay.
Clint.
Dad.
Brand new Audi owner.
Kuru membership.
Australian hater.
I hate the Australian rugby team, okay?
Made it out of Rotorua alive, orthopedic support shoes.
Cool dad wannabe, but a family man through and through.
Loves a water bed.
And hanging out with cats that he's allergic to.
That is you.
Yeah, so me.
That is you.
I don't even have a Kauri membership, and the Audi's like four years old, okay?
Sounds pretty bloody new to me. Getting a bit defensive, mate. Yeah don't even have a Qoddy membership, and the Audi's like four years old, okay?
Sounds pretty bloody new to me.
Getting a bit defensive, mate.
Yeah, that's so Clint.
Classic. That is so Clint.
Denying he's got a brand new Audi?
Yeah.
So Clint.
Yeah.
He'll try and say dad job next.
Ready, wait.
He'll try and deny.
How is that brand new Audi?
It's good.
He's taking every atom of it. It's not even brand new. It came out in 2016, okay? There it is. He's taking every atom of his energy.
It's not even brand new.
It came out in 2016, okay?
There it is.
That's so Clint.
I bought a used car.
It's just a used car.
So Clint.
I'm just like you, okay?
It's just a you.
All right, settle down, Australian hater.
