ZM, Brie and Clint.
Afternoon everybody, welcome to the show.
It's Brie and Clint.
I've got a question for you Brie, pertaining to one of your previous skills.
Okay.
Yeah, your previous employment as someone who worked in a rental car.
I did work at a rental car company.
So if I'm renting a vehicle, what insurance should I get?
You get zero excess every time.
Zero excess.
Zero.
Really?
Pay the extra money.
Yeah.
I mean, I know that that's how they get you because they charge quite a lot.
Yeah.
But get the insurance.
Because I can get zero excess for $55.
Get that.
Or I can get $1,250 excess for $25.
Nah.
Get the zero.
I could save 30 bucks.
Get the zero.
But I'm a good driver.
Mate, doesn't matter.
You asked my opinion.
Do you know the last time I rented a vehicle?
I rented like a mini moving truck.
Three ton Pantek truck?
Sure.
Yeah.
One of the ones.
That's what it would be.
A little mini truck.
I had it for 15 minutes before I drove it.
You know when you're at the mall and they've got those height bar things?
Of course it's not going to fit under there.
I didn't think about that, did I?
I've completely forgot that I was in a truck and I
drove it through and I got it wedged underneath
the height bar thing at Sylvia Park.
Fifteen
minutes in the truck and it was
jammed underneath the bar.
It doesn't cover overhead.
We got it sorted.
You just didn't tell them, did you?
Well, they couldn't see up there.
When it leaks, that's when they realise.
No, no, no, it was fine.
It was fine.
We just let the tyres down.
Why are you winking at me?
And we were able to roll it backwards.
It was good to go.
Stop winking.
It was good to go.
Might get the $55, actually.
Yeah, I think you should.
Hey, let's kick the show off with Tradiverse Lady.
We've got 50 bucks cash, thanks to KFC.
Up for grabs.
That'll cover your insurance fees.
Yes, it will.
If you want to play, you can call us now.
0800-DIAL-ZM.
Bree and Clint.
Time for Tradie vs. Lady.
It's Tradie vs. Lady.
Three, two, one.
Let's go.
The Tradies picking up another good win yesterday,
which brings their total for the year to 62.
The ladies still out in front on 65.
Closing the gap, though.
Let's go to our lady first.
She's calling in from Rotorua.
She's 27 years old, and she learned sign language at age 11.
Welcome to the show, Jo.
That's so impressive, Jo.
Why did you learn sign language?
Well, my mother was pregnant,
and I know crazy pregnant, again, when I was already 11.
And we found out he was going to be born with Down syndrome,
and we needed odds, so we all decided to learn sign language
to make it a bit easier.
That's amazing.
That is so beautiful.
Did it pay off?
Was it useful?
Yes, very, especially when he asked for a drink. It's very easy. Did it pay off? Like, was it useful? Yes, very.
Especially when he asked for a drink, it's very easy.
He couldn't speak until about seven.
Good on you, Joe.
That's so cool.
What a great fact.
You're taking on our tradies today.
They're from Auckland.
They're 38 years old and they have studied 15 subjects.
Welcome to the show, Byron.
G'day, Byron.
Hi, Byron.
What's the hardest subject you think you've studied?
Philosophy.
Philosophy.
Philosophy.
Yeah.
Yeah, I did that at uni and I can't tell you a thing about it now.
All right, let's do this thing.
Byron, your buzzer is tradie.
Joe, your buzzer is lady.
First of three correct answers gets 50 bucks from KFC.
Good luck.
Here we go, guys.
Question number one.
Barbie is the number one film in the world right now.
What is the name of the film that's in second place?
Christopher Nolan movie.
It's got Emily Blunt and Robert Downey Jr. in it.
The PR hasn't been as good for that movie.
Yeah, okay, no.
We were looking for Oppenheimer,
the movie about the guy who created atomic bombs.
Yeah.
Question number two, no points there.
Kimchi is a popular side dish from which country?
Yes, Jo.
Nice work, Jo.
You're a big kimchi fan.
No, but I know enough about... Yeah. Korea. Nice work, Jo. You're a big kimchi fan. No, but I know enough about...
Yeah.
Yeah.
She's just smart.
Fermented cabbage, mostly.
Not for me.
Question number three, one to the ladies.
Buzz in when you can tell me who sings this song.
You know I said that I am better now, better now.
Ladies, ladies.
Yes, Jo.
Correct. Post Malone. Yes, Jo? Correct.
Post Malone.
Yes, it is.
Posty.
Nice work.
Coming to the country in November.
You're off and flying.
That's two to the ladies.
Question number four.
If I was eating a quarter pack, what restaurant would I be at?
Ladies.
Yes, Jo, for the win.
KFC.
She's got it.
Well done.
Well done, Jo.
She's a lady. Well done. Well done, Jo. She's a lady.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
She's a lady.
That's an absolute blinder, Jo,
and you've picked up the $50 cash.
Oh, man, I'm so glad
I picked up the $50 cash.
I had it for lunch yesterday,
which is, yeah.
Nice work, my friend.
Whatever you said, Jo.
Whatever I said.
Yes, mate.
You beauty.
Brad Clint, that's a win for the ladies.
They're at 66 against the tradies, 62.
Bree and Clint.
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the show.
A very good friend of ours, it's Navy.
Yeah!
What a GB.
It's taken a while to get you on because you're all the way in London
and the time difference is terrible.
It is so true.
You've hit the big time because you've jumped on board
with this five-year anniversary song for us.
When I messaged you, I was like shooting for the stars.
I was like, there's no way.
And you came back to me and you said, absolutely, I can do it.
I sent you through the lyrics.
One take, you fired it back, and we ended up with the greatest
anniversary song we've ever had.
Well, first of all, congratulations, you guys.
Five years is very, very exciting.
Thank you, Nat.
That's longer than any relationship I've ever had.
It's huge news.
It was an absolute pleasure.
I had such a blast.
It was so fun doing something for you guys
and being in my little flat in London doing it was so wild.
It was such an out-of-body experience.
You're a highly accomplished songwriter now.
You not only have your own original music,
which is getting played around the country at the moment,
you're also teamed up to write music for some big stars like Rita Ora.
Yeah.
So your songwriting chops are proven.
What did you, Navy, songwriter, make of Bree's lyrical skills?
I can't help but think there are a few lines that you had to use
some creative license to get in there.
You know what?
I genuinely only added one word.
Apart from that, that was all Bree.
And I'm very impressed. Thank you, Navy.
I'll pay you later for saying that.
That took me a week to write
that. It took me a week. And Navy...
You didn't even have to write the melody. I know, mate!
I know! So, it just
goes to show how amazing you are. What's it
been like writing with all these
big-time songwriters and
writing for people like Rita Ora?
I want to say that it's a dream come true,
but I genuinely didn't even ever let myself dream about this
because I did not think it was possible.
So it's just really been a surprise at every turn.
Yeah.
I don't know how this has happened,
but I'm really glad it's happened and it's been the time of my life.
I've loved every second of it.
I'm very, very lucky and grateful.
You just have this ability, I think, to write beautiful lyrics.
It's an absolute gift.
Oh, that is so kind.
Thank you so much.
It's really nice.
The gift that you have as well,
I didn't get a chance to talk to you about when you came in
and did the acoustic corner here at ZDMS.
Is to pull off a crochet vest.
My number one gift.
Not many can do it.
You can pull it off.
I'm so glad you brought that up.
I was going to say the ability for you to change the emotion of the song
within an instant, like, till you're ready is an absolute banger.
Yeah.
And then to watch you play it acoustically on the keyboard like that,
I was nearly in tears, Navy.
True talent.
You can get an entirely different...
I know the meaning is there as you're bopping along to it,
but you don't always hear it in the fun version of the song.
But then when you stream it back, I'm like,
oh my God, what this girl has been through?
Oh my God, you guys are so nice.
Thank you so much.
Yeah, I feel like it's fun to write a song
that's kind of going to make people be crying in the club
if they really listen to it.
Crying in the club
is the goal.
That's the goal.
I loved doing
the Acoustic Corner
and it's the only time
I've ever played
that song acoustically
so it was great
to have that.
That's our friend Navy.
Thanks Navy!
Thank you!
We love you!
She's so cool
and we're so lucky.
Let's play that.
It's the five year
Brie and Clint
anniversary song
performed by Navy but written by Brie and Clint anniversary song performed
by Navy
but written by Brie.
Yes, that's right.
But also the music
by Navy.
But a little bit of Brie.
Yeah, a little bit.
She was a girl
from Queensland.
He was a boy
from New Zealand.
It's been five years
they've had some beers.
Clint dropped a netball
right away.
The Kiwis gave the crown
to Breezy.
The title of
honorary Kiwi.
But she'll never, ever
call thongs jandals.
Her accents are
shambles.
What if they spent their whole
lives chasing Channing Tatum
all the way in
LA? Clint can't kick a goal
in front of Dan Carter.
One of the low points for Clint Roberts.
As his head is hanging low.
She's so cool.
There's a video for that song too.
If you want to go and see it,
it's on Bree and Clint,
at Bree and Clint,
Instagram, TikTok, Facebook.
Thanks again to Navy for that.
Bree and Clint.
Where, Bree, do you think
is the region in Aotearoa
that fails their driving licence tests the most?
Tamaki Makaurau.
Auckland?
Yeah.
Nah.
I was thinking...
They're second worst, though.
Yeah, well, I was going for the fact that there's a lot...
I think there's a lot more going on in Auckland.
Like, there's a lot more highways, off-ramps, on-ramps, all that kind of stuff.
That's the excuse a lot of Aucklanders use. And there's a lot of bad drivers in Auckland. And it turns out there's a lot more highways, off ramps, on ramps, all that kind of stuff. That's the excuse a lot of Aucklanders use.
And there's a lot of bad drivers in Auckland.
And it turns out there's a lot of bad drivers.
Not the worst, though.
More than half of drivers in this area,
more than half of tests taken are failed on their restricted licence,
which is a lot.
So 50% of tests fail.
And that area is
the Bay of Plenty.
Looking at you, Tauranga.
Looking at you, Mount Maunganui.
That includes you, Rotorua.
All of you guys.
That's interesting.
Like I don't...
There's not all that much happening in Tauranga
in terms of like...
There's quite a lot of roadworks.
There is quite a lot of roadworks and there is, yeah,
there is a little bit going on, I guess.
And you've got to remember which one is the right off-ramp
to get to the mount.
Yeah, that is quite confusing.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well, I don't know.
4,798 tests failed in the last 12 months.
How many?
4,798 tests.
In Auckland, they failed 24,000 tests.
But there's more people, you see.
So it's, yeah, ratio.
We spread our loss out over more people.
Ratios.
So we're not as bad.
Down on the west coast of the South Island,
they've got the lowest failure rate.
Only 27% of tests taken on the west coast have failed.
Yeah, that's because they probably don't even have traffic lights.
One road in, one road out. Yeah, it's like where I took
my driver's licence test. We don't have traffic
lights. No speed limit. No speed limits.
No speed bumps. If there's traffic
just drive on the beach. No worries.
Good to go. Yeah, park wherever you want.
I failed my driver's licence.
Did you? Yeah, I'll stand up. I'll be brave
and say I, Clint
Roberts, failed my driver's licence.
Not the practical test.
Not the bit in the car with the instructor.
The bit where you sit down and take an actual, like,
it was like a test, test, like the questions.
The practice test.
The practice test.
Yeah.
The learner's licence.
I failed on my learner's licence.
Yeah, I failed my learner's licence once
and then I figured out a way to cheat the system.
So I did that and I cheated the second time. I cheated too.
How did you cheat? I went online
and kind of took the practice
tests and then kind of wrote some of the
answers on my shoe.
I found the practice tests
and memorised them.
Which I guess technically is like learning the road code
isn't it? Kind of, yeah. But you're just learning
the bits that you have to learn. Yeah. That's the
key. Oh, good to know that I'm in the presence
of a fellow loser.
I'm so embarrassed telling my dad that I'd
failed my driver's licence. So embarrassed.
My dad would have been so up me if
I failed the practical one because he would
have said, I taught you how to drive
when you were eight years old.
Yeah, it's an assault on his parenting. You've had
a lot of years of practice. Why are you failing?
Let's see if we can find New Zealand's most failed driver's licence driver.
Damn it.
Let's see if we can find...
Oh, wait, no, I'm going to sit here while you try and figure this out.
Let's see if we can find New Zealand's most failed driver.
Does that work?
New Zealand's most...
Nah, technically no, because if they're failing their licence...
Let's see if we can find New Zealand's most failed driver's test...
Taker.
You were so close.
You know what we're looking for, okay?
Have you failed your driver's licence test multiple times?
Multiple times.
We want to talk to you 0800 DIAL ZM or you can text us on 9696.
What she said.
Bree and Clint. I love this
text that's come through. I went to uni
with a girl that failed her restricted
six or seven times.
She also told us proudly
that she stalled an automatic.
Wow.
That's hard to do. That is
hard to do. It's real hard to do.
You should be given some kind of accolade just for figuring out how to do that.
It goes on to say she was telling us this while she was driving a van full of us to uni.
No, no, no, no, no.
She's not the driver.
No.
She's relinquished driving.
No, she's had heaps of practice now.
She's the passenger princess.
Heaps of practice.
For the rest of her life.
Sorry.
Gary is here.
Hi, Gary.
G'day, Gary.
Hi.
Tell us, Gary. G'day, Gary. Hi. Tell us, Gary, was it you that failed your licence a bunch of times
or someone you know?
No, it was me.
I failed like five times.
It was my practical.
Five times?
Oh, no.
Yeah.
Yeah.
What was the deal, Gary?
You just didn't know?
What did you get done for?
Little things or were you a really bad driver?
I was a bad driver.
So I was just learning to drive and this cop pulled me over
and he gave me $400 fine.
And the deal was if I get my license, the fine will go away.
So I booked for a test.
The first test was in Morrinsville.
Then this instructor was with me in the middle of text,
like in the road.
He told me to just pull aside and he just jumped off the car.
He said, I'm too dangerous.
Wait, wait, wait.
I shouldn't be laughing because that's quite scary.
You were such a bad driver.
The instructor bailed out of the car.
That's incredible, Gary.
Yeah, that was so bad, so embarrassing.
And then next time I was going.
What a sissy.
In the 50s zone.
Yeah.
And that was the second time.
Third time I was, I think, around a bus.
Apparently it was a school bus and I was more than 40, I think.
Yeah, Gary, you've got to slow down around those school buses, man.
They're full of kids.
Yeah.
I didn't see it.
It was a residential.
You didn't see a bus?
I get it.
They can be quite hard to see.
They should paint them like a bright colour or something,
shouldn't they, Gary?
No, it was like a normal bus, but the school kids was on there.
Gary, do you have your licence now?
Yeah, good point.
I actually do now.
Good on you, Gary.
You're stuck with it.
And just so we can warn our listeners,
where are you driving at the moment?
Like, what part of the country?
I'm in Auckland, North Shore.
You're on the North Shore of Auckland?
Stay off the roads.
All right, I see you.
Stay home, everybody.
Gary's about.
Closing the Harbour Bridge.
Thanks, Gary.
Gary sounds like he should be driving in a Fast and the Furious movie.
Gary sounds like a liability.
And I mounted a bus and I went flying through the air
Charlotte's here
How many times did you fail your licence test?
Or was it your husband?
Yeah, it was my husband
He failed four times before he got it on the first time
And each time we tried a different
Testing session
Yeah, you tried to cheat the system
Played them off against each other, Charlotte
Yeah, so we spent probably over
$2,000 on lessons.
Every time you go and get your test, you have to pay.
And he also had his learners for so long that he had to renew it.
Charlotte, why was he so bad?
What was he messing up on the times he failed?
He's probably listening to this right now.
But to be fair, he's actually a very good driver.
When he did get his test, they told him it was an hour of expert driving.
I should probably say that, so he's not too mad at me going on here.
Doesn't take away from those four times you failed, though, does it, Charlotte?
Bree said she'd never date a man who didn't have a driver's licence.
It's one of her non-negotiables.
But you were able to work it out, Charlotte.
You persevered.
Now I'm married.
Someone on their learners.
Charlotte only got engaged to her husband after he got his license.
She was his driving instructor.
They fell in love across the passenger seat.
Because they spent so much time together.
Caitlin's here.
Hi, Caitlin.
Hi, Caitlin.
Hi.
How many times did you...
We're good.
We're good.
Thanks, Caitlin.
How many times did your sister fail her driver's licence?
So she failed her learner's four times.
Oh, no.
She was restricted eight times.
Eight times?
And she failed her licence three times.
Caitlin, does your sister have her licence now?
Yes, so she does have her licence now.
Should she have her license now, Caitlin?
Well, she
always says that she was not a natural
born driver, that she would be a professional
passenger.
Clearly. She's
set her license over 15 times.
I'm not a natural born driver.
Oh my God. No.
Oh my God.
And like she's crashed her car so many times,
it's not even funny,
like she crashed it while she was going through a McDonald's drive-thru
and like she heard it hit,
but she just kept on going.
She just kept going?
She just kept going and she ordered her food and just drove off.
Yeah, can you imagine if you're...
Because I mean, it's smart,
because once you hit something,
the only way to do it is just keep going.
Keep going, that's got you back on the horse, eh only way to do it is just keep going. Keep going.
That's got to get back on the horse.
Imagine if Caitlin's sister and Gary were a couple.
Can you imagine what the cars in their driveway would look like?
It wouldn't be good.
It would look like a demolition derby.
It would be so bad.
The insurance premiums would be three to eight.
Caitlin!
Oh, that was well worth it.
Those were great stories.
Bree and Clint from iHeartRadio.
This is the latest live from LA with Dean McCarthy.
Dean, Doja Cat has had an absolute mare on social media, it seemed,
and because of it has lost a whole load of followers.
What's going on with Doja Cat?
Doja Cat is fighting with her fans.
It is the most bizarre thing I think I've heard in a while.
Basically, earlier in the year, she actually had a,
she called them like basically idiots.
That's one way to lose fans.
Yeah.
She basically called them cash grabbers when she was doing some promotion
and she got them to do it.
They all did it and then she was like, oh, you guys are suckers.
And now she's having a go at them for calling themselves kittens, like Doja Cat kittens.
You know how like Mariah has the lambs and Beyonce has like everyone.
The beehive.
And Lady Gaga has the monsters.
Little monsters.
Yeah.
Totally.
Yeah.
So when one fan created kittens, which is actually a really brilliant name for a fan
of Doja Cat.
It's perfect.
She said it's stupid.
It's brilliant, right?
No, she turned on them
and now she's fighting with her fans on,
I was going to say Twitter,
but now it's called X.
This whole ball of it.
Yeah, we're living in a weird reality.
That is so bizarre to me.
Don't bite the hand that feeds you.
And I know the fans don't obviously feed her,
but they do in a way.
They do.
They sustain her.
Without fans, you don't get paid
because there's no one that is buying and coming to your shows.
No, she exists as an artist because of her fans.
She is such an interesting case
because she has like a cool edge to her.
She does.
Do you think that maybe it's,
you know how some people become too cool for their own good
and she's like, oh, I feel like I'm too mainstream now.
And so you start,
like when you go and see a band or a performer and they
won't play their biggest hit song
because they feel like it's a sell out
and it's too much, I don't know
I'm just trying to figure out why somebody would
do this. I reckon she
it just sounds like she's
in a bad place right now
like you know she's going off at people that
it doesn't make any sense, like none of it makes any sense and she's just kind of flying off Like, you know, she's going off at people that it doesn't make any sense.
Like, none of it makes any sense and she's just kind of flying
off the handle.
I hope she's all right because it doesn't sound like she is.
Yeah.
Remember that weird song she did for Taco Bell?
Yes.
That was bizarre.
Yeah.
I want to get back to the hound dog remix she did.
The Elvis Presley remix.
That was like peak Doja Cat.
Oh, she'll never do that again.
That's when she had eyebrows.
That's how you know.
That's how you know someone's gone off the deep end.
They take their eyebrows off.
That's the latest with our Hollywood correspondent, Dee McCarthy.
Bree and Clint.
I don't even know if I'm ready to talk about this yet
because I'm so gutted.
Yeah.
But the football ferns last night lost to the Philippines.
Yeah.
1-0.
What a shock.
It was a shock.
We were meant to lose to Norway.
Yeah, look.
We got it back to front.
We, the football ferns were ranked a lot higher than the Philippines.
It was also history making for the Philippines because that's the first ever game they've
won at a World Cup,
just like the Football Ferns did against their game in Norway.
And I believe that goal that they scored was their first ever World Cup goal as well.
So hats off to the Philippines.
Yeah.
There was a lot to celebrate last night.
They played incredibly well, but so did the Football Ferns.
The Football Ferns played such...
They looked like they were going to win.
Oh, they played with so much heart,
and they literally played to the last second.
They were going frantic in that last 10 minutes.
They never gave up, so much so that in the second half,
they scored a goal, but it was disallowed.
Riley plays it forward.
Wilkinson's off on a run again.
She's got the right side of her defender,
who can't find the ball. Wilkinson towards the on a run again. She's got the right side of her defender who can't find the ball.
Wilkinson towards the far post and hit it in by Jackie Hand.
Stand up and applaud New Zealand.
Jackie Hand's got another one.
1-1 in Wellington.
Game on.
Oh, I've got goosies because when they said that Wilkinson was offside,
it was ropeable.
And then they showed it on the computer and I get it on the computer,
she was off by a shoulder.
But it was so tiny.
It was so tiny.
It was literally centimetres.
Anyway, the goal was disallowed and the football ferns lost 1-res. Yeah. Anyway, the goal was disallowed and the Football Ferns lost 1-0.
Yeah.
I can't help but think every time I watch the Football Ferns
because the woman that scored last night,
her name's Jacqueline Hand or Jackie Hand.
And from what I've seen,
she's one of my favourite players in the Football Ferns.
She is everywhere on the park.
She was the one who passed it into Wilkinson to get the goal in the Norway game.
She scored that disallowed goal last night.
Incredible player.
But her name is quite interesting considering she's a football player.
It's quite funny.
Is it ironic?
It would be extra ironic if the goal was disallowed because it was a
handball. It would be.
Like if she was penalised for... A handball.
If it was a Jackie Handball.
Yeah, because obviously... Well, technically
when she kicked that ball in, it was a
handball. It was a ball from hand.
Damn. Every ball she
touches is handball.
The commentators could have a field day.
It would absolutely be a nightmare for them. Incredible
player, Jackie Hand.
But yeah, it's quite ironic. But quite ironic.
It made me think I'd love to
take calls this afternoon if you
know someone or maybe it's you
that has quite an ironic name
considering maybe something
they do or maybe it's their job.
Remember I told you about
the guy that comes over and fixes
our lawn sometimes?
What was his name? Doug.
That's right. Doug,
the lawn man. Remember we had Tyler the Tyler
on Trudy vs Lady last week?
That's not so much ironic
as it is
fortuitous, serendipitous.
It's funny.
That's what it is.
If you know someone, maybe it's you.
Are you a Mr. or Mrs. Butcher
who works in a veterinary clinic?
And they're like,
well, don't want my dog to see that one.
That's quite scary.
Are you a surgeon with the last name Butcher?
I remember a doctor from my hometown.
His name was Dr. Blood.
Exactly right.
That's exactly the thing.
That's what we're looking for.
If you know someone, maybe it's you. 0800 dials at m or you can text us on 9696 do you know
someone with an ironic name if you missed it the football for ferns went down to the philippines
one nil last night yeah and uh jackie hand her goal was denied denied for an earlier offside.
After the review, we have an offside before the goal.
So no goal.
Listen to the crowd.
We cut the crowd off, but they went septic.
Yeah, and rightfully so.
It was the tiniest offside.
Like, can't you just give it to them?
God, VAR ruins the game, I'm telling you.
Much like Jackie Hand, the football player, we're asking you,
do you have an ironic name?
Hand, the football player.
I just got a text from my friend Claire who said,
the lady who cuts my moles out, her name is Dr Sue Cutmore.
That's a good one.
That's good.
One of the chances.
Was meant to be.
Someone else on the text machine said,
Max Law was the local policeman in Arrowtown for years.
You don't want to get offside with Max Law.
Another one for the police was,
for years there was a police officer in Huntley with the surname Bacon.
He was awesome and well respected.
There you go.
You'd have to lean into it, eh?
Yeah, absolutely.
Carrick's here. Hi, Carrick. Hi, Carrick have to lean into it, eh? Yeah, absolutely. Carrick's here.
Hi, Carrick.
Hi, Carrick.
Hey, how's it going?
Good, thanks.
Do you know someone with an ironic name?
So, yeah, it's my name.
Okay.
Yeah, so basically with the name Carrick,
a lot of the time when I used to work in the kitchen,
as it kind of sounds,
it sounds like the vegetable carrot.
Carrot.
It does.
So a lot of the time when they'd be like,
oh, somebody do the carrot,
so they have to prep something something and I'd pick my head
and go, yeah, sorry, what was that? And they'd go,
no, we're talking to you, Carrick.
How annoying.
Carrick on the carrot station. But even more
awkward if you had orange here and you're a carrot
top as well. Well, people used
to ask me all the time, oh, why don't you do that just to
complete the look?
Yeah, exactly.
Carrick's like, how about I don't?
Yeah, thanks, Carrick.
Appreciate it, Carrick.
Someone on the text said,
I see a cardiologist for heart issues.
His name is Dr. Heaven.
Always slightly alarming.
Yeah.
Better than Dr. Hell, though.
Yeah, better than Dr. Death.
Connie's here.
Hi, Connie.
Hi, Connie.
Hi, how's it going?
Good, thanks.
Connie, you work for Family Planning
and your name's Connie. Or Converse. Oh. No, I don Hi, Connie. Hi, how's it going? Good, thanks. Connie, you work for Family Planning and your name's Connie.
Or Converse.
Oh.
No, I don't.
Okay.
Who's got an ironic name?
It's not my dentist, but it's the other dentist at that practice
and his name's Dr. Payne.
Oh, that's...
Is it really?
Yes.
Dr. Payne.
Not the best name to have as a dentist.
Yeah, it's quite an alarming name, really. Someone else on the text machine said their dentist is Dr. Dr. Payne. Not the best name to have as a dentist. Yeah, it's quite an alarming name, really.
Someone else on the text machine said their dentist is Dr. Chin.
I'd rather see Dr. Chin than Dr. Payne.
Same, any day.
Yeah.
I'd rather Dr. Chin.
Thanks, Connie.
Let's talk to Alyssa.
Hi, Alyssa.
Hi, Alyssa.
Hi, how's it going?
We're good.
You've got an ironic name for your hockey coach
Yeah, we've got a hockey coach
His name is Mr Hockey from New Plymouth Girls High
Is it actually, Alyssa?
It is not
That is so
Mr Hockey coaches hockey
Where does Mr Hockey coach hockey?
At New Plymouth Girls High
At New Plymouth Girls High
You're kidding
Well, it'd be a bit weird if Mr. Hockey was coaching, you know, football.
Yeah.
Wouldn't make any sense.
It's like when you get, like, a repairman around
and the business is called Mr. Fix-It, you know?
It's not their real name.
With Mr. Hockey, you feel like it's a business.
Like, they've...
Is Mr. Hockey a good hockey coach?
Yeah, he's quite good, yeah.
Thankfully.
Imagine if Mr. Hockey decided to play hooky.
Hockey's gone hooky.
Hockey's gone hooky.
And it gets real confusing.
Imagine if Mr. Hockey lost a soccer game.
Thanks, Alyssa.
I love this text that's come through.
There used to be a judge in Hastings with the name Andrew Hole.
His plaque read Judge A. Don Hole.
Judge A. Hole.
Judge A. Hole.
That's so good.
I like it.
Tanya's here.
Hi, Tanya.
Hi, Tanya.
Hi, guys.
First time caller, long time listener.
Welcome to the show, Tanya. We love Tanya.
Good to have you on.
Hey, Tanya.
Oh, I know.
Tell us, Tanya, what is the ironic name?
Well, I'm in the hairdressing industry,
and I know a couple of people.
One is called Vanessa Hair.
Where is she?
And the other one.
Where?
Where?
Where?
Vanessa Hair.
Where?
Vanessa Hair.
Vanessa Hair.
She lost her job.
Vanessa Hair got the job.
Oh, no. Sorry, we had got the job. Oh, no.
Sorry, we had to cut her.
Hey, can I see that Vanessa Hare?
There's been a lot of buzz about her in the industry.
Okay, what else you got for us, Tanya?
And the other one is Travis Brush, and he's also a hairdresser.
So good.
So good.
It's meant to be.
And he's a stellar parent, hairdresser. Yeah, of course. He's doing really well, by the way. It's meant to be. And he's still a current hairdresser.
Yeah, of course.
Doing really well, by the way.
Hairdresser for life.
Oh, well, as if he wouldn't do well,
his name pretty much sells itself.
Yeah.
The marketing just, you know.
Also, very professional.
Travis Brush cleanses brush every day.
He does.
It's an everyday clean brush.
Both.
Both brushes.
Hey, thanks, Tanya.
Thanks, Tanya.
Those are great ones.
Nailed it.
Back to Mr. Hockey just briefly.
Imagine if he changed career to become a jockey.
Then it would really get confusing.
Went on a trip to see the Loch Ness Monster.
See?
Oh, Lockie.
To see the Lockie.
I guess you moved on really easily.
Bree and Clint.
Tonight, Lizzo plays Spark Arena.
Turn up the music.
Fuzzy that she's just here.
Like, she's somewhere in Auckland right now.
She's kicking about the city somewhere.
She'll be in full glam squad mode right now, won't she?
I reckon.
Getting made up for the event.
Yeah, she'll be with the, what are they called?
What's her dance squad called?
I don't know.
The Big Girls?
The Big Girls.
The Big Girls. The Big Girls.
Those are the Lizzo dancers.
Yeah, they have so much fun on that tour.
That's tonight at Spark Arena.
You're going, you're on the floor, and you've set yourself the challenge.
Get recognised by Lizzo because of your sign.
I just want to be acknowledged by Lizzo, and I feel like that'll make my whole year.
I've been waiting for this concert for years.
Like, I haven't been this excited in such a long time,
and I'm not the type of person to make a sign,
but that's how excited I am.
Yeah, okay.
I'm all in.
We polled the people yesterday for sign suggestions.
There were some good ones.
Yeah.
There was some good ones, but I felt like I needed to be authentic
and it needed to come from me.
It needs to be your sign.
It needed to be my sign.
It needed to come from my brain.
What a control freak.
Anyway, this morning I went up, got up early, got up at eight,
went out on a journey to find some arts and crafts to make a sign
and it took me two hours.
We got a message from Bree today.
Hey guys, I'm going to be 15 minutes late today.
I've had a hot glue gun incident.
I had a real bad incident.
Did you?
I literally, I've burnt like a heap of my fingertips.
I've got RSI in my thumb.
I don't think you can get RSI in your thumb, but I've got it.
Like my hands are so sore.
I've burnt myself.
Anyway, the sign's made.
It's good to go.
And I actually am really proud of it.
Okay.
But I do want honest feedback.
I haven't seen the sign yet.
I know it's on Instagram.
I've actively avoided your page today.
So I don't know what this says.
Claudia, have you seen the sign?
Do you know what it says?
I saw the start of the sign, but I don't know what it looks like. Yeah. Okay. I know it's got lights on says. Claudia, have you seen the sign? Do you know what it says? I saw the start of the sign, but
I don't know what it looks like. Yeah, okay.
I know it's got lights on it. Ella, have you seen the sign?
Yeah, I've seen what it says, but not the
end result. Okay, so I can get a fairly
good live reaction here. Yeah, I've also done a
double-sided sign.
Oh yeah, hid your bits. I've given myself two
chances. Okay, well give us your strongest
side first. Oh, I don't know which one that is.
Give us any side first then. Okay.
Wait, close your eyes. Should I turn the
lights on? Yeah,
turn the lights on. Give us the full
treatment. Hold on, there's two sets of lights.
We've got our eyes closed. I've got a drum
roll ready to go. You tell me when.
Okay, ready?
Okay, you ready? Breeze Lizzo sign.
Three, two, one.
Lizzo, my mum is on FaceTime
please say hi
oh
then you're going to
put your mum in there
it's an interactive
Lizzo sign
so the phone will be
sticky taped to the
top corner
yeah
and my mum will be
on FaceTime
yeah
the lights look so good
I like it
that's what the hot glue
was for
the lights
yeah
you'd hope there's a pretty good coverage in Spark Arena.
I know.
They're covered by Spark.
It's literally the Spark Arena.
It's quite awkward too because obviously the phone is going to be sticky taped to the sign.
And when I use the other side of the sign, my mum will just see the people behind me.
Also, look at this.
This is you if you get a phone call while it's on there.
Hello.
Hello is the whole sign up to you. You'll have to speak up. You, look at this. Look at this. This is you if you get a phone call while it's on there. Hello. Hello.
It's to hold the whole sign up to you.
You'll have to speak up.
You're on a side.
Okay, that's pretty good.
I feel like that's a pretty good side,
but there's another side.
Okay, there's one more side.
Close your eyes, everyone.
All right.
This is Bree's Lizzo sign.
The back up.
On the back it says...
Took a DNA test.
Turns out I'm 100% your B.
B-I-T-C-H.
Come on, guys.
I love that.
That came from my brain.
I'm sure it's been done before, but I didn't see it anywhere.
That's the risk that someone has done it.
Exactly.
I think the other one is completely original.
That's why I like the other one.
Yeah, but I mean, that came from my brain.
I didn't see it anywhere.
Yeah.
Also, I'm 100% your B-I-T-C-H.
What do you want it like? What?
I'll be Lizzo's bitch. Put a little
collar on you. Yeah. She can walk me
around the stage. Walk you around the stage.
I mean, that would make headbots. That would make a great
TikTok video. It would, wouldn't it?
Alright, well watch out for Bree. She's going to be in the
crowd with a dual purpose
light up sign that has a
video of her mum going,
Brianna, I can't quite see the stage.
Hold it up higher.
Guys, I made this.
I'm so bad at arts and crafts.
I'm so proud of myself.
Look at it.
Are you taking back up batteries for your lights?
Yeah, someone did say that.
That's a good idea.
And have you called your mum yet to ask her?
No, she doesn't know yet. She doesn't know.
I hope she's not busy.
Let's play Google Downs.
Do you feel lucky?
Well, do you?
It's time for Bree and Clint's
Google Downs.
Here we go. Another week of
Google Downs to see who is the fastest
Googler in the team.
And if you've texted either Clint Claude or Ella to 9696,
you could be in to win 50 KFC chicken dollars.
Fast internet is the key to this game a lot of the time, and fast typing.
It is, but both.
I reckon I was the last person in the country to get fibre.
This week we got fibre at our house.
Yes.
I've just been doing non-stop speed tests at my house just to look at that.
Those numbers, boy.
Oh, just give me those numbers, boy.
I feel like I've stepped into the future.
Do you need a moment alone?
Yeah, I do.
With my fibre connection.
Did anyone just get the ick?
I'm tired.
I got the ick real bad.
300 up, 100 down, or whatever it is, the other way around.
I don't know.
You've never sounded more uncool.
And that's saying something.
Yeah, I love it.
Okay, here's the rules.
So I put these exact questions into Google.
I'm looking for the first most common answer that comes up for that exact question.
If you're the first person to yell it out, you receive a point.
First to three points wins the game.
Got it.
Here we go.
Question.
Yes.
I think Claudia won last week.
Yeah, I won last week.
No, I don't think you did.
Yeah, I did.
No, she did.
I think it was a 3-0 down trail for Claude.
Don't forget I said anything.
Literally.
I think you were thinking of the week before
where you might have won.
And the future with my fibre.
Okay.
Question number one.
What country hosted the last FIFA Women's World Cup?
Russia.
Canada.
Germany.
France.
All of you are out because you all said the wrong answer.
It was France, but Clint already said the wrong thing.
So give it to me anyway so we can keep going because everyone was out.
No.
No points.
You know the rules.
Question number two.
Who won the last men's FIFA World Cup?
Argentina.
Argentina.
That is correct.
It is Argentina, which was
last year, 2022. How do you
have access to your fibre from work?
No, I knew that one. Alright.
One to Clint. Question number three.
How many players are there on
a soccer field at one time?
22.
11. 22.
I'm going to give it to Ella.
What? Because 11 comes up for that question.
It did.
It really did.
Because it's talking about one team.
10 on the field and a goalie.
That is frustrating to the max.
You know the rules of the game.
I state them at the start.
That's what Google says as well.
Literally my third point of the year.
It was a bit of a trick question,
but I'm going to give it to Ella because they are the rules.
Yes! But technically, yes, you and Claude going to give it to Ella because they are the rules.
Yes!
But technically, yes, you and Claude were both right as well.
22 players on the field.
Question number four, one to Clint, one to Ella.
Which Women's World Cup player has the most followers on Instagram?
Which one?
Alicia Lemon!
That is right, Ella.
A pop-up came up and I couldn't see her name. For this World Cup, it is Alicia Lemon with 13.9 million followers.
What team does she play for?
She plays for the Swiss.
Wow.
Yeah.
Okay.
Known for her photos on and off the field.
Very pretty girl.
Question number five.
Two to Ella, one to Clint.
That's shocking.
That is shocking.
Who won season five of Love Island UK?
Amber Gill and Greg O'Shea.
That's right, Claudia.
Amber Gill and Greg O'Shea.
I did make it out with how fast you said it,
but I believe you got the right answer.
I said Amir.
You're having Amir.
One to Clint, one to Claude, two to Ella.
What a game.
Guys, can you say that again, please?
Two to Ella.
Two to Ella.
Oh, wow.
That feels good.
Never been done.
Don't lose it from here, Ella.
Sorry.
True.
Focus.
Question number six.
What is the second most played sport in the world?
It is cricket.
Ella's won the game.
Ella.
You wouldn't read about it.
You wouldn't read about it.
Is that your first Google Down victory ever?
No, she's won once before.
Second ever.
She's had a blinder, which means, Lily, you backed in Ella.
You win the KFC.
Lily.
Lily.
Lily.
Lily.
Lily.
Lily, you just won 50 KFC chicken dollars for supporting Ella.
Congratulations.
Lunch on me tomorrow.
Yeah, boy.
Ella, I'm so proud of you.
Ella must have been paying the same odds as the Philippines team last night.
And you got a sports version of the game.
Yeah, that's a surprise.
You know what?
Dedication, focus, and I'd like to thank my mum.
Okay, that's enough.
You won twice.
You won twice.
Honestly.
I read this really interesting article today.
It was talking about, say you've got a friend, a really good friend,
and they tell you a secret.
And you know that that secret that they've told you,
they need help for whatever reason.
They might have confided in you that they have, I don't know,
a drinking problem or like a shopping online.
Oh, jeez, having secrets.
Yeah, yeah, or an online shopping issue or like having an affair kind of thing.
They've confided in you and there's an issue.
This article was talking about
whether you should talk to their partner.
Go behind their back and talk to their partner about it.
Sort of betray their confidence for their own good
and talk to their partner.
No.
No, that's what the article said too. It said, no, you shouldn't. good and talk to their partner. No. No. That's what the article said too.
It said, no, you shouldn't.
You should talk to your friend.
You talk to your friend and encourage them if it's the right thing to do,
to talk to their partner.
You encourage them to do that.
Yeah.
And I agree.
It got me thinking though, because they've confided in you and they're like,
you're my best friend.
I know you won't tell anybody this thing that I'm telling you.
That's why I feel safe telling you this thing.
If your friend tells you a secret, are you allowed to tell your partner?
Do they say don't tell anyone?
Well, it's implied.
Yeah, it's a secret.
Then no.
Yeah, but you tell your partner everything.
Nah, it's a secret.
Really?
Yeah.
If someone says to me, I really don't want anyone else to know this,
I'm telling you in confidence.
Yeah.
Can you not tell anyone?
I won't. Really?
Unless it directly affects my
partner, like, you know, they're involved
in some way, then I'm going to be like, well, look,
I have to tell them. Well, it'd be awkward, though, when
it comes out and your partner's
like, oh, did you know that Gemma
had a bloody this and that?
And you're like, yeah, I've known for ages.
And they'll be like, what do you mean you've known for ages?
Yeah, and then I'll say, they asked me to keep it a secret.
But we don't have any secrets.
We tell each other everything.
What other secrets are you keeping from me?
If it doesn't directly affect my partner, what's the big deal?
Yeah, but you trust your partner.
They'll never tell anybody.
They'll never tell anybody anything.
Yeah, I know, but you're breaking the trust of your friend.
Yeah, but you know what I'm saying? Like,
your partner believes that you guys don't have any
secrets from each other. Yeah, I know,
but I'm a trustworthy person, and if a good
friend of mine says, please, I
don't want anyone else to know, obviously
you know, there might be a circumstance
where you're like, can I talk to my
partner about it? And if they're fine, then
that's all good. They'll be like, hell no.
This is a hot cross. You can't tell anybody about this. I don't see that partner about it and if they're fine then that's all good they'll be like hell no this is this is
a hot class you can't tell anybody about this it's i don't see that it's a big deal and it's not a
secret you're keeping from your partner if it doesn't affect them at all it's your a secret
you're keeping for your friend interesting that way because like what about you what do you think
um i i i understand exactly what you're saying.
And I agree with that.
I think that there is like an extra coven within a relationship
where you just know that those secrets are never,
that's never getting out of your relationship.
Like your partner, the things you tell them is never going anywhere.
You know?
So it's kind of like I need to talk to somebody about,
like if you say you needed to talk to somebody about this information
that you've been given. That's why I talk to my mum because if I need to talk to somebody about, like if you, say you needed to talk to somebody about this information that you've been given.
That's why I talked to my mum, because if I said to my mum, like if I said to her, this
is a secret, I just want to talk to you about it.
Yeah.
Can you not tell anyone?
I know she wouldn't tell my dad.
Yeah, right.
Okay.
Because she knows that that's a thing between her and I, and I've asked her.
Yeah.
And if it doesn't affect him, like if it's nothing to do with my dad,
then it's okay to keep that secret.
In my opinion. If it
affects your partner,
if they're involved,
then I think that's different. But what if it's something
that affects you and
she hasn't told your dad and he's like,
how come you didn't tell me the bloody thing was going on with
Brianna? Then she'll be like,
she asked me not to tell you.
Yeah.
It's not her secret to tell.
There you go.
That's what I think.
If you've got a secret, you should tell it to Bri.
She's a vault.
Well, I am.
I think I'm trustworthy.
If someone says to me, I don't want you to tell anyone else, I won't.
What do you guys think, producers?
Yes or no?
What are you doing?
I tell my partner everything.
Okay.
Don't tell me secrets.
Yeah, 50-50 50 50 probably just to chat
about something you know i'm not telling you anything if it's boring i won't tell ella anything
that's wilkinson and becky hill here you. Or if you've been watching the Football World Cup, that's Wilkinson!
Wilkinson!
Drills it into the back corner!

as as we do and i came across this random article which was talking about uh ho-lister Hugh Jackman's brother.
Oh.
So Hugh Jackman obviously.
He has a brother.
I know.
Turns out.
Is he hot, talented and ripped?
Well, I don't know.
I haven't seen a photo of him.
Yeah.
But he definitely.
It'd be hard to live in Hugh Jackman's shadow, wouldn't it?
It'd be so hard.
Oh, my God.
I found out the other day.
You know Giselle Bundchen, the supermodel?
She's a twin. Is she? Yeah. I found out the other day. You know Giselle Bündchen, the supermodel? She's a twin.
Is she?
Yeah.
An identical twin?
No.
Fraternal twin.
Fraternal twin.
Giselle Bündchen has a twin sister.
Can you imagine being Giselle, supermodel Giselle Bündchen's twin sister?
You're always going to be the ugly twin.
Gutting.
Like, you're destined.
On the most extreme case.
On the most extreme level, you're the ugly queen.
Giselle's like, let's have a photo together.
And you're like, no.
Like, I'm sure she's not ugly.
No, she's not.
But compared to Giselle.
Exactly.
The bar is way too high.
It'd be way too high.
I imagine the same is true for Hugh Jackman's brother.
Yeah.
Well, I was like, that's so interesting.
I didn't realise Hugh Jackman has a brother.
Is that Hugh Jackman's brother?
Is he an biological brother?
Is he an older brother?
I see the resemblance.
I see it.
I do see the resemblance too, actually.
He looks like an everyday...
He looks like a normal guy.
Aussie bloke.
Yeah, he looks like a...
Guess what he...
It looks like a lawyer.
He is a lawyer.
Yeah, he looks like...
I'm going to say he looks like a family lawyer.
I don't know.
Okay, but he is a lawyer, I can tell.
Yeah, he's a lawyer and his name is Ian.
Ian Jackman.
Ian Jackman.
Yeah.
And he's in the news for some reason.
I don't really know why.
It's something to do with the courts, but it caught my attention. He's not doing a musical?
He's not doing a musical.
But he's in the news for something.
And I was just like, that's so
interesting to think about that
Hugh Jackman has a brother who's a
lawyer. Like, you couldn't
get more polar opposites.
No, you couldn't. No. But as parents,
you'd be stoked because you've got one
super famous,
like, brother that's good for dinner parties
when you talk about what Hugh's been up to.
And one if you call if you're in a crisis.
Correct, correct.
One useful brother, one useful son who can help you sell your house
and make your will.
Exactly.
And things like that.
You've got to spread your options.
Yeah, totally.
We were talking about this off air and you said,
do you remember that ad that Brad Pitt's brother did?
Yeah, he did it for a cell phone company in America.
Brad Pitt's brother named Doug Pitt.
Real person.
Yeah.
Actually Brad Pitt's brother.
Yeah.
We've got a bit of the ad.
This is actually Brad Pitt's brother.
This is Doug Pitt, the second most famous Pitt in his family.
Well, hello, everyone.
My name's Doug Pitt, and welcome to my home.
Come on inside.
Let me take you for a tour.
This is the family living room.
This is where I usually don't get to pick what's on the TV
because of the wife, the kids, but good place to hang out.
Doug Pitt is a very normal dude.
Hang on, have we been had?
The ad.
Have we been had?
No, I'm pretty sure that's his brother.
Just think about his name for a second.
Doug Pitt.
Doug Pitt.
I don't know.
Claudia, can you check for us?
Because I've always believed that was Brad Pitt's real brother.
It does kind of look like him. Yeah, it definitely looked like him. In fairness. But I'm wondering always believed that was Brad Pitt's real brother. It does kind of look like him.
Yeah, it definitely looked like him.
In fairness.
But I'm wondering if they got a Brad Pitt lookalike to do the commercial.
Claudia's done the digging.
She's done the digging on Doug Pitt.
On Wikipedia.
It's real.
It's real.
It's him.
His siblings, sister Julie Pitt and brother Brad Pitt.
Oh, I thought they were going to have a sister or a brother named Fire.
That got me good.
Don't call your kid Doug if you've last known this pet. No, don't. I can't believe
they've actually done that to that poor
kid.
Brad's over here.
He's good looking.
He's got everything.
He's famous.
He's got the money.
And then the poor younger brother, they've named him Doug Pitt.
Claudia, I can't see from this what you've put up there.
What does Doug Pitt do for a job?
He looks like a senator.
He looks like a congressman.
He does. He looks at him as an American businessman.
Investor philanthropist.
So vague, isn't it?
He's a philanderer.
Okay.
Yeah.
Buzzy.
Very polar opposite.
And it got me thinking about siblings
that are really polar opposite.
And it normally is to do with obviously their job
because that's like a big part.
Like my brother and I, polar opposite
if you look at our job
description. I work as
a radio broadcaster. My brother
is an electrical
engineer. He's
got all the smarts. Same situation
as Hugh and Ian
Jackman. They've got
one, your parents have got one daughter to tell silly
stories about and one child
who's actually useful.
Yeah, who can have an actual conversation.
Let's put it out there and ask the question this afternoon.
On 0800 dial ZM, are you and your siblings polar opposites?
Yeah.
Did you end up completely different people? Are you on, like, different ends of a spectrum?
Yeah.
Like, how different?
We're just talking about Hugh Jackman's brother.
Yeah.
I mean, he hasn't come up.
Hot topic on the show today.
He hasn't come up before, but he has today.
We've had a bit of audience feedback from the show
and they said you guys don't talk about Hugh Jackman's brother,
Ian Jackman, enough.
We've got to put more Ian into the show.
You don't put Ian Jackman on the show.
You don't put Doug Pitt, Brad Pitt's other brother on the show.
Like who are these siblings?
We need some diversity.
You know, of these A-list celebrities.
So we're doing it.
So we're talking about it.
And Ian Jackman, if you're wondering, Hugh Jackman's brother, is a lawyer.
Yeah.
So very different.
Hugh Jackman is an all-singing, all-dancing Hollywood superstar.
Exactly.
Doug Pitt, businessman.
His brother, Brad Pitt, hottest man alive.
Very different.
Very different.
Although, I will say, Doug Pitt, quite a good-looking guy too, though.
Yeah, he looks like Brad Pitt.
Yeah.
Doug Pitt, businessman.
Brad Pitt, businessman.
What?
Doug Pitt looks like
Brad Pitt if Brad Pitt
were a normal person. Yeah.
Doug Pitt looks like Brad Pitt if you
drew Brad Pitt from memory. Yeah.
Doug Pitt looks like Brad Pitt
if you bought him on Teemu. Yeah, exactly
right. Yeah. Not wish. Not wish.
Teemu. Much better.
He's the Teemu Brad Pitt.
So we're asking you this afternoon
are you and your
siblings polar opposites? We're going to start
with Amber. Good afternoon Amber.
Hi Amber. Hello.
How are we? Good thanks. Tell us
are you and your sibling polar
opposites? Yes we
are. We're very polar opposites.
I'm very bubbly
and she is very quiet. I work very bubbly and she is very quiet.
I work in early childhood and she works from home behind a computer,
not talking to anyone.
And in a story when we were younger,
if mum and dad would take us to a birthday party,
I would come home wanting more and she would go into a room
and shut herself into the closet.
You're a total introvert, extrovert situation.
Wait, she'd shut herself in the closet?
Is your sister okay?
Yes, just to calm down.
Yeah, right, okay.
Hey, Amber, let's guess who's the oldest, who's the youngest.
Oh, she's the oldest, you're the youngest.
I reckon Amber's the oldest and she's the youngest.
No, I reckon Amber's the youngest.
Okay.
Amber, who's the youngest? I'm the oldest. Yeah, I knew it. Yeah, right, youngest. I reckon Amber's the oldest and she's the youngest. I reckon Amber's the youngest. Okay. Amber, who's the youngest?
I'm the oldest. Yeah, I knew it.
Yeah, right. I knew it. Thanks,
Amber. There's some great text messages
on this. I love this text.
Hi there. In relation to your siblings
being polar opposites, I'm a
policewoman and my sister works
for a company that grows medical
cannabis. Wow, that'll do it.
That's polar opposite. She's like, hey, sis, we've got. Wow, that'll do it. That's polar opposite.
She's like, hey, sis, we've got an understanding, eh?
We've got an understanding.
Come on, sis.
Someone texted in to say,
imagine if Doug Pitt's middle name was Andrew,
then he'd be Doug-a-Pitt.
Oh, that would be good.
Let's go to Jasmine.
Hi, Jasmine.
Hi, Jasmine.
Hi, how we going?
Good, thanks.
We going well, Jasmine. Tell us, are you and your siblings polar opposites? Yeah, we are, Jasmine. Hi, how are we going? Good, thanks. How are we going? Well, Jasmine, tell us, are you and your siblings polar opposites?
Yeah, we are, actually. Well, originally, my mum wanted
me to go to uni and my brother to become a builder
and we have switched and I'm a builder and my brother is a teacher.
How good! So much done, the complete opposite.
So, are your parents happy or are they disappointed in both of you?
No, I think they're probably happier.
I don't think I'd do well with the kids, though.
It's probably better than my builder.
And you're the useful one.
You're the useful sibling.
You can go around and help them talk about renos.
And, oh, God, that would be annoying.
Every time you go around there, they'll be like,
Jazz, do you reckon we could put a deck out here?
Yeah, pretty much.
Jazz, do you reckon you could do, you know,
some family free work over here
and just draw up some plans for us, Jazz?
I've already told Clint to paint his ceiling white.
Oh, did you get in the DMs about that?
I'm going to do it white.
I agree.
Thank you, Jasmine.
That's expert input.
I love this text.
My lawyer's a brother.
I'm a police officer and my sister's a criminal.
Oh no.
There's a couple of those texts coming through.
I want to know what your sister did
and I want to know if you arrested your sister
and I want to know if your brother
helped get them off.
Yeah.
What about this text?
My sister and I are opposites.
I work in HR,
specifically recruitment,
and she can't hold down a job.
She needs you.
That's so ruthless.
What about this one?
My brother is extremely artsy and works as a gratification artist for the likes of Disney.
I'm a process engineer who designed and installed process equipment in the dairy industry.
Oh, my God.
So different. Yeah, so different.
Yeah.
So different.
One of you draws mice and the other one draws milk from cows.
Yeah, well, makes machinery.
Let's go to Emma.
Kia ora, Emma.
Hi.
Emma, tell us, are you and your siblings polar opposites?
Pretty much.
My sister is technically a doctor doctor. She has
a PhD in cancer research
and is now a GP.
Wow. Okay.
I dropped out of uni
and I work in life insurance as an underwriter.
Yes, you do Emma!
So she's helping prevent
cancer and you're at the other end.
You're the ambulance at the bottom of the cliff who's like
my sister can't help you. Maybe you need to buy
some life insurance.
I want people to be insured before they get it.
But she was also trying to put both my parents out of jobs
because my mother was a radiation therapist
and my dad's a cosmetic surgeon.
Oh my God.
Dear Emma. Oh my God.
Your family, can I
just say the pressure on you,
no wonder you dropped out. I would have just given up as well.
I would have been like, stuff this.
Everyone in the family is off doing all kinds of things.
Yeah, you're lucky you're not on the skids, Emma.
You could have gone.
Well, good on you, Emma.
Thank you.
This is such a fascinating conversation.
I love it.
Yeah.
It just shows that, you know,
it shows that there's always a favourite child in the family
and you can figure it out when you're older because it's the more successful one
because they obviously had more care and attention.
Is that what it is?
Better education and...
Yep.
Looking back on it now, I'm the only sibling in my family that didn't get braces.
