Starting point is 00:12:32 about Kanye and the whole Kim Kardashian breakup thing. Okay. And I feel like for the first time ever, Kim and Kanye might have done something relatable here. You know? Right. There's not much they do that's There's not much they can do. Remember when Kim did a happy birthday post to one of her kids
Starting point is 00:12:50 and she gave the kid like a Clydesdale or something? Oh, my God. She's like, my child needs to grow up with a horse. And Kanye did a happy birthday congratulations message welcoming Kim into the Billionaires Club. Oh, my God. And then North is just like this artist. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:06 Oh, don't get me started on the painting. No, this is to do with their divorce. Kanye, because they are getting divorced, by the way. That's been confirmed. It's real. It's over. O-V-A-H. It's over.
Starting point is 00:13:18 She filed for divorce. Yeah, and that's important. She's leaving him. Yeah. By all accounts, he was keen to stick it out and be on season 43 of Keeping Up With The Kardashians, but she's not keen. Kanye has reportedly been trying to sell some jewellery
Starting point is 00:13:35 that he's given Kim during the relationship, and apparently he was spotted at at least two jewellery shops with stuff to sell just before the divorce was, like Kim went in and applied for the actual divorce. Is he worried that she's going to get all the money? I don't know. I don't know if it's that or if it's like, you know how there's, sometimes in a relationship there's like a vengeful period?
Starting point is 00:13:59 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Where you're like, well, if you don't want to be with me, then you're not going to keep this Pandora bracelet that I gave you. That I bought you. She's like, I had the bracelet before the relationship. He's like, but I bought you six charms. So I'm keeping those. To give you some perspective on the type of jewellery
Starting point is 00:14:16 that we're talking about, Kim's engagement ring alone, which Kanye definitely gave her, is a 15 carat diamond and it cost between 3 and 4 million US dollars. That is disgusting. It is disgusting.
Starting point is 00:14:34 And I know I said this is relatable, that bit's not relatable. But possibly selling some stuff from your relationship, relatable. So she obviously gave it back to him or did he like go in and was like, we're not divorced yet, I'm taking this. I don't know
Starting point is 00:14:50 if he was taking the ring in specifically. I'm just using the ring as an example of the type of jewellery that exists in a relationship. He would have given her bracelets and other stuff. I mean, a whole jewellery shop probably. Maybe one of those Apple watches with the gold strap.
Starting point is 00:15:06 I reckon he gave her a grill too. I reckon that's something that he would give Kim Kardashian. And Kim's like, thanks, I love it. I'm not going to wear it right now, but I've totally, totally. Totally wear it later and I will not swap it for something else. We want to know this afternoon, what did you sell from the breakup? Like, did you have something that they gave you and you're like, I hate you now. I don't want to be reminded of you.
Starting point is 00:15:32 So I'm going to sell this thing you gave me. Yeah. Or even better, did they leave something at your place after the breakup and you're like, screw you, Daddy-O. I'm going to sell your Pokemon cards. Yeah. It's mine now and I don't want it. So I'm going to sell your Pokemon cards. Yeah. It's mine now and I don't want it, so I'm selling it. Exactly right.
Starting point is 00:15:49 Tell us. Tell us what you sold. How much money did you make? How much money did you make? Did they come looking for it afterwards and you're like, too slow? You're like, I don't possibly know where your car went. Yeah, I'll look for it, but I haven't seen it. It's gone.
Starting point is 00:16:06 Not for a bit. 0800 dials to them or text us on 9696. Bree and Clint. Turns out Kanye's been plundering the family jewellery cabinet just before the breakup happens. Yeah. He's been taking, according to sources, taking jewels down to the pawn shop and flucking them off,
Starting point is 00:16:25 which I didn't think he would need to do. I thought he's right. No, but maybe you're right. Maybe it's a vengeance thing. Maybe he's like, you can't have them anymore. Well, if you don't want me, then you don't want this choker necklace. My expensive jewelry. We have had some amazing texts through.
Starting point is 00:16:43 Lots of people in Kanye's boat Speaking of boats, sorry That was a really lame segue But this person sold her partner's Her ex's boat And said that she was looking after her I got it for eight Oh, I said I got it for $8,000
Starting point is 00:16:58 But actually got it for $25,000 That will teach him for cheating on me Wait, she sold his boat for $25,000 $25,000 And told will teach him for cheating on me. She sold his boat for $25,000. $25,000. And told him that she got eight. Yeah. So probably only had to, if they maybe went halves, maybe gave him four. And she played dumb.
Starting point is 00:17:14 She's like, I don't know what boats cost. Meanwhile, she's pocketed like $15,000. Whoa. That's badass. That's badass. I like that. Nikki's here. Hi, Nikki.
Starting point is 00:17:24 Hi. What did you sell from the here. Hi, Nikki. Hi. What did you sell from the breakup? I sold my engagement ring. Good on you. Nice, nice. Okay, what was your engagement ring worth? How much did he pay for it? I got $100 for it and I threw a going away party.
Starting point is 00:17:40 Yeah, good for you. It wasn't me. Do you know what the ring was worth originally? Originally, it was a couple of hundred. Yeah, right. Yeah. And he wasn't there. Do you know what the ring was worth originally? Originally, it was a couple of hundred. Yeah, right. Yeah. Not bad then. Not bad.
Starting point is 00:17:50 100 bucks. Suck on that. He's gone. Is that how you feel about it too? You're not invited to my party. Yeah. Yep. Yep.
Starting point is 00:17:56 That was it. It was all my friends and it paid for the alcohol. Love it. Nikki, good stuff. This person wants to be anonymous. Hello, anonymous female. Hello. Hey, guys.
Starting point is 00:18:05 Hello. What did you sell from the breakup? I sold a car. My boyfriend was a mechanic, and he bought the car for 500 bucks and did it up for me to drive. And then we broke up. We didn't really talk,
Starting point is 00:18:19 so I sold the car in parts, including a subwoofer and a sub, and I made two grand. Man. Well done. Did he come looking for, and I made two grand. Man. Well done. Did he come looking for any of that money? No. I don't think he knew I sold it.
Starting point is 00:18:30 Yeah, fair enough. He must have been so impressed. He would have been like, oh, man, my girlfriend used to be so cool. She knows how to sell parts. She had a subwoofer. Yeah. Which I still had that girlfriend and that subwoofer. Sucks to be him.
Starting point is 00:18:43 Finally, Steve. Hey, Steve. How are you guys? Clint, how are you doing today? be him. Finally, Steve. Hey, Steve. How are you guys? Clint, Cleeton, how are you doing today? We're going good, Steve. Hello, we're good. Happy Friday. What did you sell from the breakup?
Starting point is 00:18:52 It wasn't actually me. It was a friend of mine that I knew over in the States. Yeah. Right. Her husband cheated on her with his PA. Right. Classic. Oh, yeah, big classic.
Starting point is 00:19:04 Yeah. Sent her an email to say, sell all my stuff and send me the money. I'm not coming home. So she did. She sold his Porsche Carrera for a dollar. Sold his watch for a dollar. Sold basically everything that he had. And he had expensive taste.
Starting point is 00:19:19 She sold everything for a dollar each. Sent him the money. And he tried to sue her for theft, but she had his email saying sell my stuff. It just didn't say what the price he wanted for it. That is incredible. She sold his Porsche for a dollar. Sold his Porsche for a dollar, yep.
Starting point is 00:19:39 I like that because she's gone, this impacts me, because she could have got some money out of it too, but she's gone. The revenge is going to be sweeter than any money I could possibly get. Oh that's so good. Absolutely. Oh my god I need to go and hang out in the fancy suburbs of Auckland on the
Starting point is 00:19:53 weekends and hopefully there's some like angry wife who's been cheated on who's like the BMW you want it? 50 cents, take it off my hands that's my dream That's amazing. I'd get so much joy out of that spike car. It'd be fantastic. Hey, thanks, Steve.
Starting point is 00:20:08 Great call, man. Have a great weekend. Cheers, guys. You have a great weekend, too. Bree and Clint. Time for the latest. From iHeartRadio. This is the latest.
Starting point is 00:20:17 Live from LA with Steve McCarthy. Steve, this story I said before is quite upsetting and quite shocking to do with Lady Gaga and her dogs. What's the latest? This is so crazy. So last night in Hollywood, Lady Gaga's dog walker had taken her three French bulldogs for a walk. The dog walker was shot four times and two of the dogs were taken. The other dog ran off and actually was later found actually by Lady Gaga's bodyguard.
Starting point is 00:20:44 But the two other dogs were taken away lady gaga this is so well has put a five hundred thousand dollar reward no questions asked reward and you can even find the email online she's they've set up an email like a gmail account um for any information but so apparently look so here's the thing the lapd do not think that the that the dog thieves actually knew it was Lady Gaga's dog. Right, okay. They don't think it was that sophisticated. But these dogs are just super expensive and very in demand,
Starting point is 00:21:12 and they were just stolen just to happen to be Lady Gaga's. How's the dog walker? Yeah. Has he survived? He was shot four times. Is he alive? He's alive, yep. Okay, he's alive.
Starting point is 00:21:23 Yeah, he's alive. He got shot four times. Yeah. He's He's alive, yep. Okay, he's alive. Yeah, he's alive. Yeah, he's alive. He got shot four times. Yeah. He's like the 50 Cent of dog walkers. Wild. So wild. And half a mil.
Starting point is 00:21:33 Half a mil reward no questions asked. Then that's for the dogs. That's not for information leading to an arrest, right? That's so that she can get her dogs back? No questions asked.
Starting point is 00:21:40 She just wants the dogs back. Doesn't care. Doesn't want to hear. Doesn't want to try and catch them. Just get the dogs back 500 grand. That's doesn't want to hear, doesn't want to try and catch them. Just get the dogs back, 500 grand. That's horrific. And I know that there has been a rise in theft of what you would call designer dogs here in New Zealand.
Starting point is 00:21:52 But nothing like that. Like French Bulldogs and stuff like that, they get targeted here in New Zealand for theft. But to think that that sort of thing is going to happen is just next level. That poor guy, I assume it's a guy. Yes. Poor guy. And poor Lady Gaga too. Great name.
Starting point is 00:22:07 All right. That's the latest on Lady Gaga's stolen dogs with our Hollywood correspondent, Dean McCarthy. Brianne Clint. So this woman has taken to TikTok to describe this huge secret that her parents told her when she was 12. Right. So they told her that because there was this Right. So they told her that, because there was this addict, there was this little door,
Starting point is 00:22:27 this addict in the middle of their house. Are you saying addict or attic? Attic. Attic. Did I say addict? Yeah, attic. Sorry, attic. You know, like a hole in the roof.
Starting point is 00:22:39 Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's what I thought you meant. Attic. Sorry. Attic. Sorry. Attic, I will pronounce better. And she was like, what's that door for, Mum and Dad?
Starting point is 00:22:47 And they said that it was a room that had all these Christmas and birthday presents in it and that's why she couldn't go in it and that's why it was locked. Whoa. First big mistake. She's 12. Of course she's going to go and find another door to get in there and find all the birthday and Christmas presents. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:02 If you're hiding something, you've never made it sound more desirable than what you've just done. Exactly. So she ended up crawling around the back of the house and through this door up through and finding a door that was not locked so she could find out what was inside this attic. Here's what she found. When I was 12 years old, I lived in a house that was a one and a half story. My bedroom was upstairs and there was an attic on each end of the hallway. Here's what she found. Very, very well lit room. Full of what looked like a jungle of odd plants that I had never seen before. So I picked a leaf and took it to my sixth grade science teacher so he could tell me what it was.
Starting point is 00:23:53 And it was weed. It was weed. Her parents were 420. Do people still say that? 420. 420. Wow. That's why I had to clarify whether you were saying addict or attic. Oh, sorry. Attic. Wow. That's why I had to clarify whether you were saying addict or attic.
Starting point is 00:24:06 Oh, sorry. Attic. Wow. So she found out that her parents were drug dealers. Yeah, or maybe just growing it recreationally. But, you know, there was quite a bit. There was, yeah. So.
Starting point is 00:24:19 Either way. They bad. Her parents. They bad. Badass parents. Yeah. Have you ever found out anything like that about your parents? Anything salacious?
Starting point is 00:24:33 Anything dubious? Anything that made you go, oh my God, you're not the straighty 180s that I thought you were. My mum told me once that she just drinks in front of her friends to be cool. And I was like, yeah, right, mum. So that's pretty much as bad as it gets. Yeah, right. Yeah. What about you?
Starting point is 00:24:51 Nah. My parents are pretty, like mum's a teacher. Yeah. And dad was a badass back in his day. But more just like a regular motorbike riding goofball kind of badass. Yeah, right. And dad's always been out there because he always had bikes. And it was almost the opposite because he was like,
Starting point is 00:25:06 I love bikes. I love living wild and free. And mum's like, you bloody well don't. You need to put that bike on. Not on my watch. You need to put that bike on Trade Me. You need to calm yourself down. He's like, it used to be bad to the bone.
Starting point is 00:25:28 I reckon we can put this out there this afternoon, though, and find out whose parents were actually bad to the bone. When did you find out and what did you find out about your parents? What was, like, really juicy? What were you like, that is not the parents that I know and grew up with. Yeah, maybe it's really juicy. Maybe you found out your parents were swingers You know Yeah That's the sort of thing
Starting point is 00:25:46 I'm thinking about Yeah yeah yeah Or maybe you found out That your parents Like go to Raves You know Yeah

Starting point is 00:26:23 and found out that her parents were growing weed. After they told her she couldn't go in there because it was filled with presents. Yeah, well it was filled with presents, just not for her. Silly, silly parents. And hey, here in New Zealand, we have some bad parents. It's weird to think of you, and I mean this with all due respect,
Starting point is 00:26:39 it's weird to think of your parents as people who do bad things and good things and make mistakes and all that kind of stuff and live lives that aren't just being role models. But you're a parent and you still do stuff. I don't do anything, Caitlin. No, no, but I mean like you drink sometimes. Yeah, totally. That's what I mean.
Starting point is 00:26:59 You still kiss your wife. Our parents don't even, my parents never kiss. My parents never do that. But they have. I guess what I mean is, of course they do. You just don't think about it as one of their children. So we want to know what you've found out about your parents this afternoon. Yeah, there's a text in saying that I was in my mid-20s
Starting point is 00:27:18 and my sister and I discovered that our mum had a female friends with benefits. Your mum had one? Dad was apparently all good with it too, for a bit. I'll bet dad was all good with it. Dad liked it. Whoa. How did they find out?
Starting point is 00:27:36 How did it come up? Maybe they walked in, I'm not sure. This one is very stressful. Okay, I found out before the 660 concert that my mum was just as bad as I was and does MDMA at concerts. No! What?
Starting point is 00:27:59 Mum's on the pingers. What? Whoa. Oh my God. Mum, if you're listening, I hope you're being responsible. We're not encouraging it. Go to the pill testing site, please. Yeah, and just...
Starting point is 00:28:11 I hope mom's not on the bath salts. That stresses me out so much. Let's go to anonymous. This person needs to remain anonymous. Hello. Hello. Hey, how you doing? Good.
Starting point is 00:28:22 When did you find out that your parents were bad to the bone? Well, the old man took me out the back of the garden one day to plant some plants. Yeah. Right. And I was about four or five this time. And yeah, let's just say they're not tomato plants. I love that you're four or five. You're like, Daddy, can I try some?
Starting point is 00:28:51 No. Does Dad still have a decent garden going? No, no, no, not at all. Oh, he's seen the error of his ways and calmed himself down. Either that or he's got better at hiding it because he knows that you're now a narc. And you ring radio stations and tell people about it. This person also wants to remain anonymous.
Starting point is 00:29:09 Hello, anonymous. Hello. Hello. Oh, hi. Hi. When did you find out that your parents were bad to the bone? Okay, well, it's really wild, but my mum was on the interpolis
Starting point is 00:29:20 because she went missing in Spain for like three months. What the hell? Your mum was wanted by the International Police Service. Okay, well, she didn't call home for three months, so her parents got really worried. Was she okay? Oh, yeah, no, she was cool. She was living it up large in some Spanish nightclub,
Starting point is 00:29:37 like a family friend rang all the nightclubs and spoke in Spanish and found her. Your mum can never get angry at you for coming home after curfew. A hundred percent. And she is so cool. I mean, I know that's not very good, but that's pretty cool. Your mum's lived a life, you know? I know.
Starting point is 00:29:59 You'd never think it looking at it, but you're just like, wow, mum. That's what I mean. Do you understand what I mean when you say you don't think of your parents as being people before they were your parents she was just overseas
Starting point is 00:30:09 living her best life yeah and she's like you're so naughty and then you're like mum you're like mum
Starting point is 00:30:14 I'm going on a contiki and mum's like boring why don't you go missing for half a year anonymous number three welcome to the show hello
Starting point is 00:30:23 when did you find out your parents were bad I was a teenager and I was going Nonomish number three, welcome to the show. Hello. When did you find out your parents were b-b-b-b-bad? I was a teenager and I was going through my mum's, like, side table next to her bed trying to find something. Oh, no. And I found photos of them with some of their other couple friends having adult time.
Starting point is 00:30:43 Mum's a swinger! Wow. You poor thing! Now, let's not shame your parents. No, no, no, but I mean having to see that. But can we talk about the photos? Because I imagine your parents are boomers and those photos would have had to been taken on a real camera and then taken into New World to get developed those photos would have had to been taken on a real camera and then taken into New World
Starting point is 00:31:05 to get developed and someone would have had to see those photos when they were getting them developed and then she stored the photos from the party. That's the weirdest bit Anonymous. Yes, that is the weirdest bit. Like, I don't know. I was a teenager and I was just like, and I can't even look at those photos. Have you guys ever talked about it?
Starting point is 00:31:22 Have you guys ever talked about it? Oh God, no. I just pretended that I don't know. at those things. Have you guys ever talked about it? Have you guys ever talked about it? Oh, God, no. I just pretended that I don't know. Oh, my God. Sally and David are coming over for dinner tonight, and you're like, I'm busy. I'm going out. I'm going out. I can't do it.
Starting point is 00:31:35 I've got to go. Sorry, sorry, Mum. That's wild. That's incredible. There's one text that you have to read out before we finish. Finally. Actually, I'm the parent. This is what the text has said.
Starting point is 00:31:46 And my kids don't know that in 1974, I posed for Playboy. Go mum. Get it, mum. Yeah, girl. I hope mum has a copy of that in the house somewhere You know? Yeah And hasn't like not kept it Because she didn't want the kids to find it

Starting point is 00:33:26 pods. Bree and Clint. Hasbro, the toy company, have made a decision today and they've announced it, that Mr. Potato Head is no longer going to be a Mr. They are creating a gender neutral
Starting point is 00:33:41 toy which is now no longer Mr. or Mrs. Potato Head, it is Potato Head. So it's been like that for the last 70 years. I think this is a toy that's been around for years. And obviously, with the evolving of culture, they have decided that this is, by calling it Mr. and Mrs.,
Starting point is 00:34:00 it is limiting it to when it comes to both gender, identity, and family structure for when kids are playing with these toys. So it's just potato head. And it's just potato head. And I congratulate them, I think. You're into it? You think that's a good idea? Yeah, ka pai.
Starting point is 00:34:14 Awesome. Let's include everyone. Let's make everyone feel comfortable. I've seen that some people, and there will always be some people, who have kicked off about this and they're like. Oh, of course. Like Piers Morgan, who you expect to kick off about anything, who's come out and been like, this is ridiculous.
Starting point is 00:34:29 What has the world come to? Like Simon Bridges would come out like he did this week and he'd go, this is woke. This is too woke. My favourite is they say, what next? What next? To that I say, potatoes don't have a gender. So the fact that you're willing
Starting point is 00:34:47 The fact that you're willing to put your reputation On the line and defend the gender Of a potato with a moustache Says more about you Than it says about The potato head corporation Exactly You're like what next
Starting point is 00:35:02 What next for you bro Pick your friggin' battles. Like, how in the world does this possibly affect you? I know! Why are you so upset? This is my favourite line from people who get offended by this stuff too. They're like, it's an attack
Starting point is 00:35:18 on families. If you think it's an attack on families, you should have married a potato, and you should have raised a family of potatoes and then you would have a leg to stand on. This one, it's a very small concession that we can make as a people to go, you know what, not everybody conforms to male or female, you know. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:35:39 There is so many. Yeah, I just think. Well done, Clint. Thank you for saying that. Genders. I attended Mr. Potato Head's wedding in 1974. What am I meant to tell my kids? Potatoes do not have genders. That's well said.
Starting point is 00:35:56 Brian Clint. Hi. Hello. So picture this. You're in Dunedin, and perhaps you went to the cricket yesterday. Oh, yeah. Am I a student in this? I don't really know.
Starting point is 00:36:08 Let's not age this person. Am I a young and cool DMB frother in my first year studying sports science? You be who you want to be. Okay, that's who I am. This is you. Okay, cool. I live in the Nitro flat on Castle Street. That's you.
Starting point is 00:36:23 Okay, what's your name? Cool. Dwavid. David, cool. Dwavid. David. David. Dwavid. David. Okay.
Starting point is 00:36:28 No, cooler. Something cooler. Chad. Like Seth. Seth. Yeah, Seth. Okay. All right, Seth.
Starting point is 00:36:34 You've just had Thirsty Thursday after the cricket because we won. Yeah, chair boy. Yeah, chair boy. Back to my flat. Yeah. Well, it's 2.26 in the morning and you're like, oh, man, I need to eat something. What are you going to eat? Classic me. Probably a pie. Yeah, well it's 2.26 in the morning and you're like, man, I need to eat something. What are you going to eat? Classic me. Probably a pie. Yeah. Now, if you don't have the money,
Starting point is 00:36:50 what are you going to do with, how are you going to get that pie? Are you going to be a good human? Because I'm a Pavo student and I spent all my student loan on nitros. Yeah, yeah. I don't know how I'm going to get the pie. I don't know. You're probably just going to be a really good person
Starting point is 00:37:05 because you're a good person, Seth, and you're going to say, bummer, I'll go home and cook some fries that I have in the freezer. Okay, I'll do that. But this guy, and now we're back to the real story. That was just,
Starting point is 00:37:15 we were just doing some ad-libbing. That was just like a little play for you to get in the mood. I'm impressed with me having the foresight to have fries at home, by the way. Oh, always have some fries in the freezer. Very unlike me, Seth, the first year DMB frother, to have anything in the freezer. You've got to make sure you've got the tomato sauce as well.
Starting point is 00:37:32 So this is actually a real story and it happened in Dunedin. This guy really wanted a pie, so he put it down his pants in an attempt to steal it. This is a real story that happened in Dunedin. This is a real story that happened at 2.26am this morning at a night and day. Wow. If I was going to steal a pie, I can't think of a worse place to put it than down my pants.
Starting point is 00:37:53 So hot. So hot. So hot. So hot. And if you're wearing tight, because men have a bit of a gap, so it could fall down the leg, right, unless you're wearing tight jeans.
Starting point is 00:38:03 Men have a gap, but men also have an extremity down there that is likely to come in contact with the pie. You're talking about your penis? Yeah, or testicles. Oh, or testicles. Okay. Well, anyway, they caught him. The police caught him and they were like no, no, no.
Starting point is 00:38:17 No, no. We know there is a pie in your pants. Boys, frisk him. And the guy's like, please don't, it's so hot Please Please don't frisk me I'm guilty, take me away I can physically see If you frisk me, you're going to spill
Starting point is 00:38:35 boiling hot cheese onto my gonads Cheese and mints Unfortunately as well the senior sergeant Who was on the case Said that It was unsellable After they found the pie Oh 100%
Starting point is 00:38:50 I hope that he was In the pants Yeah Yeah so He returns to the night and day You know what He's like Stop recovering fellas
Starting point is 00:38:55 Back on the shelf Where's this cop In this story Where's this cop When you need him Always blowing the pie Safe communities together You know
Starting point is 00:39:04 Where's that guy? It could have been him. It could have been him. Although in that case, I'm not putting my hand up to blow on the pie. Don't blow on, yeah, don't in that region. Don't do that. Bree and Clint. We were talking about this the other day,
Starting point is 00:39:18 and we realised that everyone has this part of their history that no one talks about. Yeah. And some of us have shared history, but we don't know that because we don't talk about it, you know? Yeah. And it was something that I actually thought like was the same for everyone, but it's obviously
Starting point is 00:39:31 not part of the curriculum. Like anyone can choose. It's very regionally specific. Yeah. But I think there is crossover. Within New Zealand, there is crossover in some areas. The thing we're talking about is the song that you used to sing at school. And the reason you probably don't talk about it is because it was so etched into your brain
Starting point is 00:39:50 and you want to forget about it because it's all you ever did is sing that song. School singing on reflection is the weirdest thing, eh? Is that they just bring like 400 kids into a room who can't sing and you're like, okay guys. And I imagine these days, because I haven't been at school for a while, I imagine there's like a projector or something or maybe like a big screen TV, I don't know. But when I was at school,
Starting point is 00:40:10 they brought out the overhead projector. With the lyrics? The OHP and they put the OHT on the OHP and it projected it up on the thing. And it was one teacher's job to whip the OHT off and put the new lyrics on when the verse changed remember that bit and you had and sometimes they put the sheet on upside down and the words are out there backwards there's just so much pressure for a the teachers but also for you
Starting point is 00:40:37 trying to stand there and sing and you're like oh my gosh well i was at an all girls school but when i was at um a boys and girls school i, oh my gosh, he's like listening to me and he can hear me singing and I'm really bad. Yeah. Not me. I was a songstress. I was like,
Starting point is 00:40:49 I was out there going, bright eyes, burning like a fire. You know, I really tried to finesse. Was that your school song? Yeah, it was one of them.
Starting point is 00:41:00 What is it? Okay, so tell me what, have we got a song of yours or we can't find it? So that's at primary school and we didn't know what the song was but all our parents were like, oh my god, that's from the movie
Starting point is 00:41:12 Watership Down. I've never seen it. It's one of those 80s I don't know. Apparently it's about rabbits. I don't know. One of the songs we sang in school. I also went to a very Catholic school so some of the songs were very religious and I've got a feeling that our overly passionate RE teacher
Starting point is 00:41:28 Mr Parker, there were a lot of originals. I think he wrote them. I think so. So I'm not going to use any of those because they're not relatable. That's not how that works either. That's not how RE works. But one of our school songs, do you know the song that goes
Starting point is 00:41:42 and because we're going to ask you guys to sing it. One of my songs was Lean on me But one of our school songs, do you know the song that goes, because we're going to ask you guys to sing it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. One of my songs was, Lean on me when you're not strong And I'll be your friend Yeah, this song here. Lean on me when you're not strong Which is very cute for a bunch of primary school kids to sing. Super cute, super cute. Because they don't know kids to sing. Super cute.
Starting point is 00:42:07 Because they don't know anything about leaning on each other. We just thought that you were tired. Which you're like... Yeah. Yours was good and I think yours is quite relatable. What was your school song? Yeah, because I also went to an all girls school and so I think they thought
Starting point is 00:42:24 maybe we could all sing and there was that brother sister let me that was a very religious song but then we had this one which I just realised was by Bette Midler Some say love it is a river
Starting point is 00:42:41 we never knew to start that I'll take the song out. Do you remember the words? Because in some chorus it was like, Some say love, it is a river. And then it was like, Some say love, it is a flower.
Starting point is 00:42:53 And so you'd always be like, Some say love, it is a river. Because you're like, yeah. There's got to be a teacher who picks the songs. And I hope that now that we are the age that we could be teachers in schools, there's some teacher in there who's like, you know what? Screw it. Let's do Cardi B.
Starting point is 00:43:12 Yeah, the kids are going to sing WAP. No, not WAP. That's inappropriate. Not WAP. That's inappropriate. No, but they're like Bodak Yellow. But like Beyonce or, you know, someone. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:20 Or Uptown Funk or something like that. I would love to know if there are some school teachers listening and what songs are sung at school these days. That would be cool too. Yeah. And then we can do like the old school and then, yeah. Which one do you want to do? Do you want to do that one or do you want to know what people's school song was?
Starting point is 00:43:36 Well, no. Oh, shivers. Okay, sorry. I've gone rogue. I know you've gone rogue, but they're both good ideas. I know. Let's stick with what we were going to do and maybe we can do the other one next week. Okay.
Starting point is 00:43:46 Yeah, yeah, yeah. We want to know this afternoon on 0800 dial ZDM, what was your school song? Bonus points if you're willing to sing it to us. Yeah. Okay.
Starting point is 00:43:54 And, and we'll try and find it and track it down and play it. Yeah. And give you all the feels and the nostalgia. If there was a song that was specifically sung at your school every time, not necessarily the song that had your school name in it because there are some of those like we mean more like
Starting point is 00:44:09 a popular song that you guys always sung and all the parents had to come and listen to you and you're like some say love 0800 dial ZM you can't text this one, oh no you can text if you're really nervous but we'd love you to call
Starting point is 00:44:26 with your school song this afternoon. Get in touch. Let's go. Caitlin's here filling in for Bree while Bree's off shooting a TV show. And we want to know what's the song that you sung at school? Because there's major throwback vibes in this and no one's exploring it. Yeah, it's really given me so much
Starting point is 00:44:42 nostalgia. And thank you so much for all the texts and the calls that are coming through. It's actually getting me a little bit overwhelmed from remembering primary school as well. Not just high school. I forget about primary school. Clint, do you remember? Fish and chips. Yeah, fish and chips.
Starting point is 00:44:58 Make me want to lick my lips. Eat them for... Oh, hang on. Eat them for breakfast, lunch and tea. Fish and chips are for me. That's the one I just had a little injury with my look, but I'm all good. I'm back. I thought you salivated too much at the thought of fish and chips. That's a banger. People are texting in their school songs. This makes me happy that this is one that's come through. Can you imagine a whole school hall full of kids belting this out?
Starting point is 00:45:32 That's good. And the bit where they all go hard on the Jeremiah was a bullfrog. And they'd have moves, they'd have little dances that they had to do and everyone would be so pumped. It's a special time. Alex is here. Hi, Alex.
Starting point is 00:45:47 Hi. What's the song that you guys sang at school? No, don't tell us. Sing it to us. Yeah, sing it to us. Okay. Kiwi kids are rocking it, rocking it. Kiwi kids are talking.
Starting point is 00:46:02 Kiwi kids are living it,wi kids are laughing at us. Alex, you are nailing that. That's beautiful. Alex, I've never heard that song before in my life. Neither have I. But you singing it makes me want to learn it. You have heard it because I sung it to you at the Wellington karaoke thing that you guys did. Did you?
Starting point is 00:46:22 Oh, my God. I sang it to you guys and I was drunk. Well, I was drunk too, so. That's amazing. Okay, Alex, you're awesome. Love that one. Another text has come through for one that someone's school song was. It was this. Now, let's attack this in two parts.
Starting point is 00:46:42 Yeah. First of all, emotional banger. It really is. Second of all, hasn't aged well. We do not like him. Do not endorse R. Kelly, unfortunately. Claire's here. Hey, Claire.
Starting point is 00:46:58 Hello. Hello. What was your school song? And don't tell us. Don't tell us. Okay. I'm putting up at the pub to do this. Yeah, go on.
Starting point is 00:47:05 Are you ready? Yeah, we're ready. We're waiting. Everybody's doing a brand new dance now. Come on, baby. Do the locomotion. Yes, Claire. Come on, come on.
Starting point is 00:47:17 Do the locomotion with me. What? What is this song even about? Do the locomotion. We did it at camp, and there was this boy I really liked, and he was called Blaze White, and he got to put his arms on my hair back and do the locomotion. It was pretty cool.
Starting point is 00:47:37 Oh, yes. Caitlin's so right, though, Claire, right? No lyrics to any song are as burnt into your brain as the song that you sung at school, eh? You'll never forget. I don't even know. No matter what happens on your deathbed, you'll be like, come on, come on.
Starting point is 00:47:54 Cool, thank you, Claire, that's good. Someone's texted and said this is the song they sang at school. Tell me, did the wind sweep you off your feet? Did you finally get the chance? Cool school. On the light of day Get back to the Milky Way Very cool school.
Starting point is 00:48:12 And very trusting that people can hit those notes and carry it on. Yeah, I'm not going to lie. Kids would have butchered that song. Olivia's here. Hi, Olivia. Hi. What was the song that you guys sang at school?
Starting point is 00:48:24 And again, don't tell us. You've got to sing it to us. Sing it. Hi, Olivia. Hi. What was the song that you guys sang at school? And again, don't tell us. You've got to sing it to us. Sing it. Oh, my God. I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly. I'll do what it takes till I touch the sky. This song holds a special place in Caitlin's history. I don't know if you know this, but I know this is about you, Caitlin.
Starting point is 00:48:44 This is your song. Olivia, this is my song. This is my song when I knew I had to get out of Philly and go to a big city like Christchurch where there was big windows and sky buildings. It was so exciting. I spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly. I'll do what it takes till I...
Starting point is 00:49:03 Caitlin, knowing what you know about this song in your life, can you imagine 400 kids singing this song? Like a chorus of children singing it to you? Like everyone's just crying. Everyone's just absolutely sobbing. That's good. Liv, what was the school? Amazing.
Starting point is 00:49:21 Olivia. Olivia, what was the school? What was the school that sang this? She's busy crying. St. Peter's Chanel in Hamilton. Love it. Olivia, what was the school? What was the school that sang this? She's busy crying. St. Peter's Chanel in Hamilton. Love it. Oh, beautiful.
Starting point is 00:49:30 Love it. So good. We should ask everybody the school, actually. Let's finish with Bree. Hey, Bree. Hi, Bree. Hello. What's the school? St. Peter and Pool in Lower Hutt.
Starting point is 00:49:39 Okay. We were in the hut. Okay. All right. Big up the hut. Now, don't say it. Don't say it. Sing it.

Starting point is 00:50:04 Because Caitlin and I were wondering this. It's been a while since we were at school and do they sing modern songs now? Seems like they do. Yeah. Yeah. The teachers are really passionate about, like, Netsky. Like, have you guys heard of Netsky?
Starting point is 00:50:21 Okay, kids, it's time to sing Afterglow. Hey, thanks, Brie. Have a great weekend, okay? See you. You too. Can I finish with a couple of things? I don't want to stop this. Go on, go on, go on.
Starting point is 00:50:32 I think you might need to get one of these songs up as well. Oh, sorry. Bye, Brie. Do you remember the nature song by Buttonbirds? Yeah, I know the one, yeah. The Muttonbirds, maybe? The Muttonbirds? Yeah. They've written Buttonbirds. Yeah, I know that song, yeah. The Muttonbirds, maybe? The Muttonbirds? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:50:45 They've written Buttonbirds. Yeah, I know that song. And it was like, how did it start? Yeah, that's a classic. Nature into me. Yeah. And also, this school is so cool. They sung Bon Jovi, Living on a Prayer.
Starting point is 00:51:04 And I can guarantee there were like eight year olds and they probably had their hair spiked up and some like tight jeans on Your teachers are bogging I love it though They're like, I'm eight and I'm living on a prayer, man. Brie and Clint.
Starting point is 00:51:26 Yeah. Hey. It's my birthday. It's my birthday. Brie and Clint's birthday banger. Okay, Caitlin's still here filling in for Brie, and we're doing birthday banger. We're finding out the number one song on your 16th birthday,

Big Dave Dobbin winning birthday banger this afternoon, Slice of Heaven. How timely is this, Caitlin?
Starting point is 01:00:15 Someone's just texted in after we were talking about your school songs. And then that comes up for birthday banger. They said Slice of Heaven was my school song. Of course. And I've been jamming it in my head ever since you guys were talking about it before. What are the chances? What a banger for a Friday. Ten-year-old me is grooving in assembly right now.
Starting point is 01:00:33 Yes. Dave Dobbin won. Sorry, Sir Dave Dobbin, by the way. Sir, yes. He was inducted. Do you know, quick story. This is my quick flex. Just one flex for the day.
Starting point is 01:00:46 Dave Dobbin taught me how to make tea. How and when and where? When I used to work in Wellington, I made him a cup of tea because I was a producer and I said, would you like something to drink? And he said, I'll have a cup of tea. And I made it. And he was like, this is not how you make tea. So then he was like, you've got to take the tea.
Starting point is 01:01:03 How does Dave Dobbin make a tea? I now know, obviously, this is about nine years ago, you have to always take the tea bag out before you put the milk in. Let the tea steep for a little bit. Let it sit there for a minute or so. Take the tea bag out and then put a couple of drops of milk in or how many milk you want. And that's how you make tea, according to Dave Dobbin.
Starting point is 01:01:24 It's changed my life. Yeah, that's how you make tea for Dave Dobbin. Yes. This's how you make tea according to Dave Dobbins. It's changed my life. Yeah, that's how you make tea for Dave Dobbins. Yes. That's how I make tea from now on as well. There'll be some staunch tea baggers in there
Starting point is 01:01:32 who are like, keep the bag in, G. The bag stays. Brie and Clint. Caitlin's here filling in for Brie. One more week, right? You're here for another week
Starting point is 01:01:41 after this? Yes, I'm coming back up to Auckland so I'll be in the studio with you. Nice. I want to use the radio for personal benefit for a second and say congratulations to one of my best friends, Callan, and his partner, Christy, who had their baby this morning, I think.
Starting point is 01:01:57 Their first child arrived. Oh, congratulations. Congratulations, guys. Huge news. Mildly inconvenient for me, this baby arriving. I'm not going to lie. Okay. Just be honest.
Starting point is 01:02:08 Right. We had planned, we'd invented this thing, and I don't know if it's a real thing. We'd invented a thing called a man shower, which is the same as a baby shower, but it's for the man. Because baby showers seem to be exclusively for the mum. Well, the thing is, Clint, is that the mum is holding the baby in her stomach. She's the one that has the sore breasts and the cankles and the pain and the not sleeping. The men genuinely, I mean, I don't want to stereotype, but the men generally get away without any of that pain, don't they?
Starting point is 01:02:42 I understand. I understand. I understand. However, we were looking to take advantage of the opportunity and have a dad's only, men's only man shower. And it was all organized. And the most important bit is, and people who are in a relationship, particularly with kids, will know this feeling. We all had our leave pass approved. We had managed to synchronize calendars.
Starting point is 01:03:05 We'd managed to go, okay, we've all got to do this. We've all managed to get the night off. It was a sleepover because it was out of town too. Dad's on tour. Dad's on tour. I was going to Rotorua. We're going to catch up with everybody. All the dads from around the place were going to converge on this place.
Starting point is 01:03:20 We'd go out to 10 p.m., yeah, yeah. And we'd fall asleep standing up. And it was all done. And then this wonderful child arrived a little bit early, which is a miracle and everybody's happy about it. But it's ruined your week. Or is it? Because I actually haven't told Lucy yet that the baby's been born.
Starting point is 01:03:39 Clint. Do I keep the leave pass? Clint, I know. Do I keep the leave pass? Because she's going to see photos on social media that the baby's already here. What if I get to Rotorua and then I'm like, oh, you won't believe it, babe. I didn't check my phone while I was driving and the baby's been born. I'm already here.
Starting point is 01:03:58 I'm too tired to drive back. Clint, what are you going to do without the rest of the boys? Just sit there in a hotel? Actually, that sounds quite nice. Just be by yourself for a night. Again, people who have kids, doesn't that sound wonderful? Book yourself a motel room for the night and just watch TV.
Starting point is 01:04:11 Poor child is going to grow up and they're going to be like here's Uncle Clint coming to see you. And you're going to be like, hi, you ruined my weekend that one time. Well, if you're listening, baby Rowan, we're glad that you're here. You have a great mummy and daddy and I'll just have to have some beers at home by myself to celebrate there is as i said before some bad news for kiwi men and all of human existence uh coming for us
Starting point is 01:04:36 from 2040 so this epidemiologist dr shanna swan and her team have found about 50% to 60% of a decline of sperm counts between 1973 and 2011. Now, this is in New Zealand, Australia, Europe, and North America. Oh, that's not good. It's not good. And so as it stands, it's a current trend. So it's set, because it's been going down for all those years, it's been set to hit zero between 2040 and 2045. Now, Clint, I don't know if you know much about how babies are born.
Starting point is 01:05:17 Well, I don't know if you know how I live, Caitlin, but I do, evidently. Oh, you know, okay. I've got 1.5. Just a refresh for those. You need the sperm. You need the sperm. Now, fortunately for us, fortunately for me, this is not seen in the studies that they did on men in South Africa, Asia and Africa. No, I think maybe they just think there's not enough data in those regions.
Starting point is 01:05:42 But because I was like, okay, so what do we need to do? In 2040, there's going to be a boom in children born called Francois. Just like lots of hot men coming over. So I think what they've done is they've tried to see if it's due to genetics or whether it's something that you as men are doing that you need to stop doing so you can preserve your sperm. Are we putting our balls too close to the microwave when we're making meat luring? Well, it's actually funny. So they agree it's not genetics, but it could be due to some environmental and lifestyle factors,
Starting point is 01:06:10 including effects of pesticides, cosmetics, foam furniture, paper plates, work stress, fatty food, processed food, and packaging. So the standouts are foam furniture and paper plates. Yeah. If you're living in a flatting situation at the moment as a dude and you're eating off paper plates so you don't have to do dishes and you're sitting on a cheap Kmart couch, you are basically infertile. You've got to check yourself and make sure that the spermies are okay.
Starting point is 01:06:39 Let me come at this from a purely selfish point of view for a second, Caitlin. I have one beautiful child with my wonderful wife we have another wonderful child due in one month amazing after that not keen for any more children oh okay yep at the moment i have voluntarily suggested that i go and have the snip do i need to can i just up my foam furniture and paper plate usage and render myself infertile and then therefore eliminating the need for a hot needle to go into my downstairs
Starting point is 01:07:15 and sever my sperm carrying tubes? Now, Clint, I'm going to throw a spanner into the works because I've got a third option for you. Okay. Sperm donor. Stop being selfish and put all your sperm in the fridge. Not your fridge, someone else's fridge.
Starting point is 01:07:31 And then we can have all these beautiful Clint babies. Yeah, right. Okay. I need to discuss that one with Lucy. I threw that at you, didn't I? Yeah, you really came out of left field with that. It doesn't solve my problem that I don't want any more kids after this.
