We had to threaten us with taking the entire race away.
And what, mate?
You know when you held the race in a dolphin sanctuary?
Yeah.
Like, who knew dolphins would be an issue in the dolphin sanctuary?
Do you know the dumb thing is that now you've got me on one?
Yeah.
And good afternoon, everyone, by the way.
They have to stop the race all the time because of wind conditions
and weather conditions.
Hello.

No one wants to hear it. No one wants to hear it.
No one wants to hear it.
And I heard you were dancing badly
to Shapeshifter the other night too.
I don't know.
I wouldn't criticise a dancer too much.
He's dancing vigorously.
Okay?
Oh, yes.
We've got to be kind to people
when they're dancing.
We don't want people to feel self-conscious
about their dance moves.
We do not have to be kind to someone
that's not being kind to the country.
He's always carried a chip on his shoulder.
After all the America's Cup hoo-ha.

Welcome to the show, Zoe
Hi
Zoe, how are you?
Nervous Nervous.
Nervous?
Don't be dull.
Just be relaxed.
Did your parents pack you off to boarding school because you were naughty?
Yeah, I think they just wanted to get rid of me.
It's okay.
Did you enjoy it?
Yeah, it was real fun, except we got told off a lot.
Yeah.
Oh, well. You are taking on our trainees told off a lot. Yeah. Oh, well.
You are taking on our tradies today from Hawke's Bay.

and they just started working with Sausage Boy.
Oh, not Sausage Boy again.
Welcome to the show, Raymond.
Hello.
Sausage Boy, Brodie, is a man who has graced the Tradie vs Lady competition
a few times over the last 18 months.
No victories for Sausage Boy Raymond.
What's Sausage Boy?
What is it?
It's just a tradie who loves sausages.
Oh, this guy?
No, he works with Sausage Boy.
But is Sausage Boy the name of the company?
No, it's just a guy who works at the same company.
Okay.
Yeah.
Sorry, I thought it was the name of the trade.
I was trying to think what trade it was to be called Sausage Boy. Anyway. Yeah. Sorry, I thought it was the name of the trade. I was trying to think what trade it was

You too.
Oh, to be 18 again, eh?
Wouldn't that be nice?
And sorry to the whole Sausage Boy community, by the way.
Better luck next time.
Yesterday on the show we had a conversation about
Would You Eat It?
where the subject was the Georgie Pie
that the guy found in the back of his freezer from 2020.
It's been frozen since 2020.
And I said to you, Brodie Kane, would you eat it?
And you said you'd do it for 50 bucks. And I said, okay, Brodie Kane, would you eat it? And you said you'd do it for 50 bucks.
And I said, okay, well, if the man who bought the Georgie pie from 2020
for $45 from Trade Me is listening, let us know,
because we'll buy it off you for 50 bucks,
and then we can feed it to Brodie.
And then you said you'd also give me 50 bucks.
And then I'll give.
Yes.
It's going to be 100.
So I've got to give you 50 bucks,
and then I've got to give the guy with the pie.
No, I get 100 bucks. It was going to be $100. I've got to give you $50, and then I've got to give the guy with the pie $50.
No, I get $100.
If this is what I think is happening, I get $100.
I don't care how you get it.
Okay.
Well, so long as I'm not having to come up with more than $200,
I'm still willing to go through with this.
Please welcome to the show the man who purchased the Georgie pie, Lawrence.
G'day, Lawrence.
Hey, guys.
How's it going?
Yeah, we're good. So the message has got back to you that we want to buy you a Georgie pie. Lawrence! G'day Lawrence! G'day guys, how's it going? Here we go.
So the message has got back to you that we want to buy you a Georgie pie.
Well, hey look, I do love a good pie and I absolutely love Georgie pie,
but I also love money.
So if I can make some money out of this, then... So you're out of pocket $45 for this four-year-old Georgie pie
that's been at the back of the freezer, correct?
That's correct, but it sounds like I may be making some money off this
if you're keen to buy it off me.
Yeah, quite possibly.
Can I just inquire as to where the Georgie Pie is right now?
The Georgie Pie is still in the seller's freezer.
We're still negotiating logistics and whether or not he can fire up his oven
for me when I come around and pick it up.
So I'm looking forward to that.
But I also need to Google how long can a Georgie Pie stay in a freezer for?
Because I do have prior experience with this.
I did buy a couple when they closed down.
Yeah.
That will mean McDonald's stopped selling them.
I did stick it in someone's freezer.
Yeah.
And it did actually taste all right.
But that was in, I think I ate it in 2021.
So this is a...
It's a one-year-old pie versus a four-year-old pie.
Okay.
Will it get better with age?
We don't know.
We don't know.
Brodie said she's willing to eat it for 50 bucks.
Are you planning on eating it as well?
You are, right?
You are.
Look, I've got to give it a go, right?
What's the worst that can happen?
I might lose a few kgs.
Salmonella.
Yeah.
Campylobacter.
Yeah.
One of those illnesses, I'm sure I'll survive.
I think it would just be a basic case of the shits.
I don't think any more than that. Yeah. Well, I'm quietly hopeful. I'm sure I'll survive. I think it would just be a basic case of the shits. I don't think any more than that.
Well, I'm quietly hopeful.
I'm quietly hopeful.
I reckon maybe, possibly, I mean, the photo looked good, right?
So I reckon it might actually be all right.
I want the pie and I want Brodie to have the pie.
We could potentially share the pie.
Yeah, that's what I was about to propose.
So you paid $45 for it.
If I was to, let's just start out with a price match.
If I was to pay the $45, so the pie is effectively free for you,
would you come in and split it with Brodie?
I'll tell you what, I will happily split it with Brodie.
Okay.
But if we get sick, I guess we get sick together.
Yeah, yeah.
So we'll have to look after each other.
That's fine.
Yep.
This is going well. Okay, so I've got to give $45 to Lawrence. So we'll have to look after each other. That's fine. Yeah. This is going well.
Okay, so I've got to give $45 to Lawrence.
I've got to give $50 to Brodie for doing it.
Hang on.
If Brodie's getting $50 for doing it,
should I profit out of this too?
I mean, this sounds like an opportunity for me
to not only get $50.
Okay, all right, all right.
Okay, you can have $50 too.
Is that okay?
Yeah.
We're winning, winning.
That can pay for the toilet paper we might need.
Yes.
Where do you live, Lawrence, the man who bought the
four-year-old Georgie Pie? I live
in Ellerslie. Ellerslie, perfect.
Where is the pie?
The pie is in Pukakohe, I think.
In Pukakohe. Okay, we have ways and means.
We can figure this out. Let's send this to
a back room. But I reckon this week
we're going to have the first
Georgie Pie tasting the country has seen since
2020 go down here on ZM.
I think what we'd do as well is just get it out of the freezer and put it in a cooler bag into the studio.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
We'll put it in one of those Medivac chili bins.
Like it's a heart transplant or something.
We could even get like an urgent courier, a medical courier to like urgently raise the cost.
I think we need to.
Is that somebody's heart?
No, it's a Georgie pie.
And then we cook the absolute shit out of it.
Yeah.
We blast that thing.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay, Lawrence, you're a good man.
We're really looking forward to this.
We'll put you back to the producers and we'll talk to you soon.
Okay.
We've got to get the Herald in here.
Yeah.
We've got to get them reporting on this.
This is literally a taste of history.
Yeah.
All right.
Cheers, Lawrence.
Talk to you soon.
Thanks, guys.
Brianne Clint.
You know how sometimes we have fun stats like you spend...
Actually, I don't know the stat, which is a bit rocky from me.
What do they say?
You spend six...
A third of your life in bed.
Do they say that?
Yeah.
What about the toilet?
Is it six years or something?
It's something like that, isn't it?
Oh, I don't know the toilet one.
And I reckon it depends on who you are.
I reckon it depends on the gender.
I reckon the blokes spend more than six years on the toilet.
I would spend more than six years on the toilet as well.
Imagine, actually imagine figuring out how much toilet paper you use
if you piled it all up.
End to end.
I would be Everest.
No, don't pile it up.
Lay it end to end.
See how many times it would go around the globe.
Yes, but I reckon mum would also rival Everest.
Anyway, that's not what I want to talk about.
I found a new stat.
Six years on the toilet is six years well spent,
in my opinion.
100%, and you need to.
It's my meditation time.
To keep alive for the other years.
Yeah.
Anyway, I've done my own calculation of a stat
that I've been thinking about for the past couple of days.
Okay.
It's always been a running joke
how many cushions and pillows women have on their beds
and I was, you know, as I do every night
taking off the
how many have I got?
Nine, I've got nine
I'm packing nine
so as I was taking them off last night I thought
I wonder how much of my
how much of my life
is taken up
putting my cushions on the floor
only to put them back on the bed in the morning?
Removing and replacing decorative cushions.
So I've done a couple of calculations for you.
I estimate it's about a minute a day.
Yeah.
That's, you know, because it's slower to put them back on,
put them on nicely, give them a bit of a fluff up.
So that's 365 minutes a year, which is roughly just over six hours,
six and a half hours. So we're looking at 240 hours over around 40 years. So, ladies
and gentlemen, on average, a woman spends 10 days.
10 days of her life putting cushions on and off the bed.
Also, that's only if you expect to live till 60, by the way.
That's going from age 20 to 60, that 40 years.
Oh, I don't think you're doing it at 20.
I think it starts at 30.
Oh, yeah, so that covers you from 30 till 70.
Then you're in the retirement village and you're probably not. They do the cushions for you then.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
10 days. I just tried to do it with the yeah, yeah. Yeah. But that, yeah, so that just.
10 days.
I just tried to do it with the quickest, easiest math too.
But yeah, 10 days.
Every man listening to this right now who thinks that his partner's cushions are pointless
will be taking that stat home tonight and he'll throw them off the bed and he'll go,
10 days.
I know.
10 days we waste on this crap.
Exactly.
It's quite, if you were just doing it nonstop for 10 days,
it's quite a lot.
But I say I've got nine, right?
Yeah.
But there's none that can, they all have their place
because you've got the two sleeping pillows.
I mean, I sort of alternate them because it's only me.
But you've got those.
And then you've got the-
Do you just have one pillow in the middle of your bed?
No, I still sleep on a side, hell no. Oh, yeah. And then you've got the- Do you just have one pillow in the middle of your bed? No, I still sleep on a side, hell no.
Oh, yeah.
And then you've got your pillows.
You're like, I guess, your main pillows that match the duvet cover.
Yeah.
Then you've got the European pillows.
Then I've got three cushions.
So, title of, what did you say?
Nine.
Nine.
I had this argument with Bree recently,
who's very anti-European cushions.
Oh, okay.
She's anti-decorative cushions.
And I said, oh, well, what about a tri-pillow?
Do you remember those right-angle pillows
that your mum used to have?
Yes.
Get into a tri-pillow.
No, she's not having it.
Bree runs four pillows between her and her partner.
So just the sleeping pillow and then the, I guess,
the decorative pillow. The knee pillow, I think. The one that goes behind sleeping pillow and then the, I guess, the decorative pillow.
The knee pillow, I think.
The one that goes behind your head and then the one that goes between your knees.
You put one between your knees?
I do, yeah.
Keeps you back straight.
Every night?
Yeah.
What?
Keeps you back straight.
The pillow between your knees?
Yeah.
Jesus, I need to get into this.
Okay, you're going to go up to 10 pillows then.
No, but one of the spare decorative pillows can go in.
I thought I was a six pillow man.
I'm a seven pillow.
I've just realised I'm a seven pillow man.
No, I'm an eight pillow man.
So you're only one down from me.
Yeah.
But would you be there if it wasn't for your wife?
Great question.
I don't know who I'd be without my wife.
I'd just be floating around in a world without pillows.
But we share a bed, so two head pillows, two knee pillows,
two European pillows and two cushions.
So that's eight pillows.
So can anyone beat nine?
Can you beat nine?
Or is there someone listening out there right now who runs one?
Oh, that's a red flag.
Is there a one pillow person listening at the moment?
Is it a red flag or is it the ick?
Or is it just a nice, simple, you know, straight up the guts kind of person?
No, red flag.
Okay, if you're running one pillow, when's the last time you replaced that pillow?
Like, how old is that pillow?
Did you know you're meant to get rid of your pillows every two years?
Yeah, I did.
Yeah, I did do that.
Oh, $800 again.
I did know that.
Or text us on 9696.
We're looking for the number of pillows in your setup.
Bree and Clint. Now, I just want to, before we move on,
I'd like to just correct a fact for you.
Sure.
We don't spend six years of our lives on the toilet.
It's 92 days.
So a third of a year, almost.
Yeah.
I reckon a bit more than that, don't you?
Again, it depends on the person. Well, it's about now 40 a... A day. Yeah. I reckon it's a bit more than that, don't you? Again, it depends on the person.
Well,
it's about an hour 40 a day.
No.
An hour 40 a week.
But anyway,
the reason I say that
is because I have collated
just a low estimate
of how much time,
I shouldn't gender stereotype,
but women spend
taking the cushions
and pillows off the bed
to put them back on again.
And it's 10 days.
It's 10 full days.
Actually, if the toilet's 92, that's a lot.
It's a lot.
10 full days removing and replacing decorative pillows.
Yeah.
So we're trying to figure out what's the correct number of pillows
to have on the bed.
Brodie's running a nine.
I'm running an eight.
You said if anybody listening was running a one,
that would be a red flag.
But let's see what the people have got.
Let's go to Cameron first.
G'day, Cameron.
Hey, how's it going?
Good.
So you share a bed with a girlfriend, is that right?
Yeah, I do.
Okay.
And what's the official number of pillows on that bed?
Ten.
Ten.
Ten.
Oh.
Five pillows per person.
That is about five pillows too many.
So you're anti, obviously.
Yeah, yeah.
So what are you packing?
What kind of, what are you packing in the pillow department?
Oh, well, we've got a fluffy pillow on each side,
a big one, because we don't have a headboard on the back of the bed,
so that sort of helps.
And we've got three normal pillows each.
Three?
And then two decorative green pillows on the front.
Wow.
And I reckon that number's going to grow
as your relationship grows, Cameron,
because you didn't always have 10, did you?
You would have had three when you moved in together,
and then it was...
Well, yeah.
So we did recently move in together about two months ago.
And when it was my bed on my own, I'd have four pillows on the bed total.
Yeah.
So we've more than doubled.
More than doubled.
Yeah.
Well, just be careful, Cameron.
You've got to pick your battles in these situations.
But thank you.
You're on a 10.
Let's go to Mackenzie.
Hi, Mackenzie.
Hi.
How many pillows are you running on your bed?
I used to have 18 pillows on my bed.
18 pillows.
Wow.
Yeah, it was pretty insane.
You say 18 like you're reformed or you're like a recovering pillow addict.
My mum forced me to get rid of some because it was getting out of hand.
You were like, do you know what? I'm spending
10 days a week taking these
off. Yeah.
There's more pillows than beds. I was going to say,
you would have got to the point where you needed a bigger bed
not for yourself but for the pillows.
Why do you think it just got
out of hand? Did you just keep seeing nice ones
and think, oh, that'll go nice, that'll go nice?
Yeah, pretty much.
I was in a phase of
sequined pillows as well.
Oh, dull. Sequined pillows.
I had so many of those.
Party bed.
Thanks, Mackenzie.
You're definitely in the lead. From 18 to
Brad. Brad, how many pillows,
in fact, this deserves...
How many pillows are you running on your bed, Brad?
One.
Brad, one.
I sound like the odd one out now, don't I?
Yeah.
Brad, why one?
Why just the one?
Oh, it just throws my neck out.
Like one good memory foam pillow, that's all you need.
Thank goodness it's at least a decent pillow.
Do you live alone, Brad?
No, no, my wife has one on the side of the bed as pillow. Do you live alone, Brad? No, no.
My wife has one on the side of the bed as well.
Oh, so there's two?
Just got to keep things simple, you know?
Okay, so there's two pillows on your bed, right?
Yeah, I only sleep with one.
So what about when you're reading a book, though?
Don't you need to prop your head up a little bit more
than just what one pillow offers you?
No, that's what you got the couch for.
Brad's a simple man.
I love it.
I love it.
Brad, are you running a top sheet?
Yes, always.
Always a top sheet.
You run a top sheet, but you won't run a European pillow?
No, no.
I love it.
That's the ultimate excess in your mind, isn't it?
A European pillow.
We're not in Europe.
Okay, thanks, Brad. We appreciate it.
Jenna's here. Hi Jenna.
Hello. We've been to both ends of the spectrum
this afternoon. We've talked to Brad on a one.
We've talked to, who's our
friend who had 18? 18 pillows?
Mackenzie. Mackenzie had 18.
Yeah, the sexy pillow girl.
Jenna, how many
pillows?
It's 36, but it's across four beds.
Hang on a minute.
What are you doing?
What are we operating?
Why have you got four beds?
Yeah.
We've got our house on the market,
so the stages come in and they make it look all beautiful
with all these pillows.
And then not only that, you've got the pillows on the bed,
you've got the pillows on the couches,
and there's so many couches.
They've got chairs in every room,
which also has at least three pillows on it.
Yeah.
So, I mean, I can't even tell you how many times.
And then, of course, you can't sit or sleep on the staging pillows, can you?
You've got to take all those off to live in the house
and then put them all back on for the open home.
Yeah, and I haven't even started on the duvets
that you've got to fold up into these little squares
so then you can put your own one back on.
Oh, yeah, that's the pits, isn't it?
Jenna, imagine old one-pillow Brad coming to your open home.
He'd think that he'd walked into Bed Bath & Beyond.
Yeah, he'd die.
He'd go, what is this, briskos?
Yeah.
Oh, no, no, you can't even deal with it.
There'll be one pillow on each bed when I'm done here.
Yeah, you'll need a bit of respite, won't you?
Yeah, absolutely.
Oh, wow.
Yeah, my two kids love pulling pillows off and making forts.
Oh, we love forts.
They're in Lapland.
We love forts.
All right, thanks, Jenna.
We appreciate it.
You're all good.
There you go.
You never know what someone's packing in the bedroom, do you?
I was thinking she may have owned a different type of house there
Me too
I was like four beds
Where are we going
Where are we at a club
A shower in every room
It's time for a very wild latest story about P. Diddy
As we speak P. Diddy's house is being raided by armed forces, Dean.
It certainly is.
He's managing Los Angeles and Miami today, like, raided.
There are police everywhere.
There are helicopters grabbing evidence
and watching it all go down in the midst of his huge sex trafficking investigation.
Check out some of this audio from TMZ as they raided him.
Breaking news right now.
We're following the Department of Homeland Security
conducting a raid at a house in Holmby Field Hills,
believed to be connected to Sean Combs, the rapper and music executive,
perhaps being linked to a sex trafficking investigation.
They are heavily armed and they've been very tactful, would probably be the best word to use as they made entry into this home this afternoon.
We actually watched them as they made their way through one of these side gates.
And as soon as they got inside the home, one of the first things they did was
made their way into this garage that you see.
The images are wild, Dean.
And PZD's house is incredible.
Like, it's bigger than the White House.
What exactly, I know they said sex trafficking,
but what is it that he is being accused of in this situation?
Yes, there is a claim that someone,
how can I say this?
There is a claim that many years ago
that he and other music executives
took advantage of someone underage.
Right, okay, okay.
Yeah.
Right, so it's all horrible stuff.
Yeah. Yeah. Right, so it's all horrible stuff. Yeah.
Yeah.
Mind you, and also given the nature of the raid,
like there is armed officers absolutely everywhere.
Yeah.
It sounds like he's not at the house.
Like from what I'm looking on the interwebs,
his jet's been spotted landing somewhere else.
Yeah.
They don't believe that he's been arrested yet
and that he might not be at the house.
But seems like he is in a whole bunch of trouble.
Yeah, there's accusations that he's connected
to Tupac's murder and all of this stuff as well.
It seems like it's all going down for Puff Daddy
and Bad Boy Entertainment at the moment.
Yeah.
So watch this space.
That's the latest live out of Los Angeles
where Dee McCarthy is.
I spent my morning this morning
putting together a flat pack,
which is one of my most hated activities.
My dream is to everyone wants to win lotto.
You know the reason that I want to win lotto?
So I never have to buy flat pack furniture again.
So I can splurge on the already constructed furniture.
Do you know that I have such a deep-seated hatred for flat pack that I just, it's not,
I can't do it.
I can't do it.
I don't want to do it.
I, not to make this about me, I had to ring mum the other night because I couldn't build
a laundry hamper.
A flat pack laundry hamper.
Four parts.
This is my point. Why are we flat packing laundry hampers? I don't build a laundry hamper. A flat pack laundry hamper. Four parts. This is my point.
Why are we flat packing laundry hampers?
I don't know.
Why have we got to a place in our society
where we're flat packing laundry hampers?
Because they're packed in
and they're packed onto a container
and they're packed in and off they come.
And so I'm with you.
I don't think any,
I don't want to ever.
I was today putting together
like a kids's play kitchen
for my daughter Maggie who's turning three tomorrow.
It's her birthday tomorrow morning.
So getting it ready for her today and then hiding it
so we can give it to her tomorrow morning.
She wouldn't be as excited if I gave her the flat pack
and said, this will be ready for you in two hours.
You know, you've got to have it all put together and ready to go.
And that sounds like it's got A, lots of parts,
B, terrible instructions.
So many parts. So many parts.
So many parts.
There must have been 150 pieces once you include screws and dowels and gibbets
and all the things and dials and things like that.
And I kept saying to myself while I was doing it, I said,
sit in this and enjoy the process because this is parenting.
What you are doing right now is an act of service and an act of
love for your child, putting together this
flat pack. And I'm like, yeah, but she can't hear all the
swear words I'm saying as I try and get this
thing put together. I don't think
I love anyone enough
to build them a flat pack.
Honestly, if you said to me,
Harry Styles is in town, he's yours
if you build him a bedside table, I'd be like,
sorry, I'm not doing it.
This is a kid's kitchen for a three-year-old to use.
Someone just texted us and said my whole
kitchen was a flat pack.
Never again. That's right because you can do
that from bloody Bunnings now with your
caboodle kitchen, can't you? You can flat pack
yourself. You can. You can flat pack yourself
an entire kitchen.
That sounds like my worst
nightmare. Yeah.
When I worked on Fair Go, RIP.
RIP.
They knew that I hated flatpats, so I did a flatpack challenge.
Do you want to know who won the flatpack challenge on Fair Go?
Out of you and who?
Oh, all sorts of famous people.
Yeah.
Do you know the fastest person?
Joseph Parker. Really? Yep. He was a carpenter. He's a trained carp people. Yeah. Do you know the fastest person? Joseph Parker.
Really?
Yep.
He was a carpenter.
He's a trained carpenter.
Yeah.
Did he have gloves on or gloves off?
No, gloves off.
Because that would have been a good challenge for him.
Make him do it with his boxing gloves on. Yeah.
He was really fast.
Bloody hard to turn an Allen key in those boxing gloves.
It took an hour and a half for me, an hour and a half to build a stupid bedside, stupid
bedside thing.
Stupid bedside table.
And I got the back panel around the wrong way.
I loathe it.
I loathe it.
I want to ask the question,
because people say that they're a risk to your relationship
putting together a flat pack together.
Has anyone broken up over assembling flat pack furniture
or at least come to major blows
about assembling flat pack furniture?
Someone's actually text through,
and I've done this before.
Kit set assembly services. I've done that twice. I had
someone come around and assemble my barbecue, because
oi, barbecues! They're amazing.
And then I had my table,
my dining room table as well, on that kind
of person. I don't care. It's an incredible service.
They've got the green vans, I've seen them.
Oh, $100 at import. Text us on 9696.
Has a flat pack
set of furniture ever put so much strain on somebody's relationship
that you guys broke up or even nearly, you nearly broke up because of flat pack furniture?
Or you lost friends?
Or you threw a flat pack through a window?
Tanty!
Bree and Clint.
I spent the morning putting together my three-year-old daughter Maggie's birthday present at Kids Kitchen,
which I reckon had 150 to 160 pieces in the flat pack.
I've got secondhand everything for you.
Yeah, and I broke some of it putting it together.
Because the screw always goes through the shitty particle board and something snaps.
One of the things we haven't discussed, one of the major issues,
is that whoever is writing the instructions is a bully.
They are trolling humanity.
And they're just pictures now.
They're like, square, one.
Square, line, dash, two.
There's tiny little details which tell you which way around each item is meant to go.
I just, honestly, I'd rather shit in my hands and clap
than build a flat pack.
So we're asking you, did a flat pack cause a rift
in your relationship?
Now this text, I can feel this.
I'm in the room with this.
Let me paint a picture.
We bought our son one of those all in one.
Desk, desk stairs bed.
Oh yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Giant
nightmare, my God.
I tried to help, ended up crying
after yelling at my husband.
He told me to leave the
room and not come back.
Took him all day to
assemble and when we moved house
a year later, we
got rid of it.
$1,500 wasted.
Still married, Rach.
I love that you were strong enough in your marriage for him to be able to say,
leave the room now, close the door, do not come back.
I'm going to say some swear words.
I don't want you present.
You here will make me even more stressed than I'm going to be.
I will get this done.
Just leave.
Get out.
It's so good.
Someone else said, my boyfriend and I didn't break up, but he sure was
disappointed to find I didn't have any tools,
i.e. a hammer, to put the
flat pack shelf together. We had to
use a rock from the garden to hammer in
the nails.
So you've said to him, can you come around
and help me put the flat pack together? And he's
gone, yeah, sure, and got there assuming that you would have some basic tools.
And you had nothing.
But isn't it, it's one of those things, isn't it, where, like, is it a Phillips screwdriver?
Is it a bloody Allen key?
Is it a, do you need a drill?
Like, it's too much.
Whoever invented the Allen key needs a hiding.
This person wants to be anonymous.
Hi, anonymous.
How are you guys doing?
Yeah, we're good.
I've recovered from my flat pack.
What did it do in your relationship assembling flat packs?
We bought a three by three meter stupid garden shed.
Oh, not a shed.
No.
Yeah, a simple garden shed.
And it had 10 pieces.
And we're like, yeah, cool.
Two hours, quickie job.
We will be all good.
But my husband is a mechanic,
so he breaks every tool that comes with the stupid shed.
Yeah, right.
So he's like, no, we're not going to use these tools.
We're going to use my power tool.
Oh, no.
The kids got involved because the panels are too long for two people,
although the instructions do say two people, two hours.
We were four people.
It took us eight hours.
The roof eventually became the floor.
The side panels became doors.
We made all new holes.
And funnily enough, the thing is wonky and waterproof, but it's up.
The number of those garden sheds,
those little tin sheds you get from Mitre 10 that I've seen on a lane,
wonky as, they look flimsy as anything.
Yeah, jeez.
And it's sanding.
It's waterproof.
The wind has been there.
Don't touch it.
Anonymous, do not touch it.
It's up.
When we move, it will stay where it is.
Yeah, it's now a chattel. It's not going with. Yeah, it's stay where it is. Yeah, it's now a chattel.
It's what I'm going with.
It's a really valuable chattel.
Thanks, Anonymous.
Yeah, they'll move in.
They'll go, jeez, they've got one of those garden sheds already assembled.
That drives the price of the house up a bit.
Oh, man.
Not a breakup, but I had a wardrobe I wanted to assemble straight away.
Everyone refused to help me, so I did it alone.
It's set on the box.
Two people. One and a half hours. Took me six. Yeah. everyone refused to help me so I did it alone. It said on the box two people
one and a half hours
took me six.
Yeah.
But I was alone
so not bad
not bad I guess.
Imagine spending six hours
on your own
building a wardrobe.
But it says
my dad would walk past
every now and then
and giggle.
I was furious.
Come on dad
get in there.
No but hey
if anyone asks me
never
never ever am I helping anyone in the entire kingdom of the world Come on, Dad. Get in there. No, but hey, if anyone asks me, never.
Never, ever am I helping anyone in the entire kingdom of the world.
To do their flat back.
No, never.
Right.
So you won't accept help either because you're not willing to offer it.
I'm not doing it.
I'm not doing it.
As I said, I built a laundry hamper which had four parts and I had to call Mum the other night.
My partner is a builder.
I'm a project manager.
He throws the instructions at me and he builds it his way until it doesn't go right
and then out comes
the project manager
with the instructions
to tell him how it should be done
oh my god
just like being at work
now here's something
that we could add
to the love languages
the secret to a happy marriage
is knowing which of you
can read flat pack instructions
and the other one
learning to shut up
and just do as they're told
that's beautiful that's beautiful that is beautiful and the other one learning to shut up and just do as they're told.
That's beautiful.
That's beautiful. That is beautiful.
Yeah.
That is beautiful.
I reckon there's a business in buying flatback furniture if you're good at it,
assembling it, and then relisting it already assembled on Trade Me for twice as much.
I often ask in the shop, can I have that one on the shop floor?
I know it's been like, you know.
No, that took us four days to put together.
The Grudge Match resumes with a new participant.
Let's take on a round of Let's Get Classical.
This is the game where we guess songs, ZM songs in classical style.
And today, Brodie, it's you and me versus producer Ella.
Okay.
What's our score update for the year?
We won last week, Bree and I, didn't we?
And I was very humble and calm about it. No, you ran a lap
and nearly broke your head off. Oh yeah, you did.
I like you. I did a lap of the
studio. The scores for the year
Ella is on five and Bree and
Clint are on three. Let's be real,
last week was the first real win for you guys.
No cheating involved.
Let's be real.
The scoreboard is the scoreboard.
And Ella's leading.
The All Blacks don't say, let's be real.
We've actually won five World Cups.
Yeah, but they don't cheat.
Hey, I don't cheat either.
Honestly, the disrespect from your generation is out of control.
Brodie, would you like me to run through the rules for you?
Please may you.
So essentially, the way this game works,
I've taken songs that are usually on the ZM playlist.
You'll know them.
They're pop songs.
Yes.
And it's a classical version.
Yes.
And you guys just need to tell me what they are.
So you need to buzz in with your name.
Brodie and Clint, you guys are working together.
Yeah.
So you can buzz in separately.
We need two.
Yeah. No humming. No humming. Yeah, as soon as you buzz Clint, you guys are working together. Yeah. So you can buzz in separately. We need two. Yeah. No humming.
No humming. Yeah, as soon as you buzz in, you have to know it. When you buzz in, you have to say the answer.
You can't dilly dally. So you have to answer
straight away. So don't buzz until you've got the name
in your head. Yep. And bear in mind that if you
know half of it and you say it out loud, you may
give your other team the benefit.
Okay. Got it. Okay. Got it. So you guys are
working together against Ella.
I just want to say before we start
Thank you for putting together the game
I appreciate the work you do every week
And I will respect whatever decision you make
You did just interrupt my talking
I'll never accuse you of facilitating cheating
I just would like to let everyone know
That I'm actually standing up for this one
Oh, you're taking it seriously
And a reminder Brodie, your buzzer is Brodie It's my name, not the song name Okay, so when we're all ready I'm going to for this one. Oh, you're taking it seriously. Yeah, me too. And a reminder, Brodie, your buzzer is Brodie.
It's my name, not the song name.
Yeah.
Okay, so when we're all ready, I'm going to play a classical song.
I'm looking for the artist and the name of the song.
Good luck, everyone.
Here's your first song.
Oh, God!
Brodie!
Brodie!
Brodie!
Brodie!
Survivor, Destiny's Child.
Oh, no!
Oh, no!
It was tickling!
Oh, that was tickling my brain.
Did I think she had it in her?
That's not important, because she does.
Well done.
She does. Finally, some competition. Let's not important because she does. Well done. She does.
Finally, some competition.
Let's go.
Oh, these are fighting words.
Okay, that is one point to Team Brodie and Clint.
Here's another one.
What?
Ella! Ella!
Ella!
Best song ever, One Direction. Yes!
Yes!
Did you have that?
Oh, yeah, I did.
At the same time, did you?
Why don't I know how to say my name?
I could listen to that nine times and never got it.
Really?
Yeah.
All right.
That's all tied up.
Yeah.
So this one is for the win.
I need to put my weight here.
Okay.
I need to get this one.
But don't rely on me, okay?
If you got it, you go for it.
Okay.
You have to get this one.
I'm happy for you to get all the points.
Okay.
Okay.
Here it is.
I'm happy for you to do all the work.
Okay. Okay? Here it is. I'm happy for you to do all the work. Okay.
Ella!
Ella!
Ella!
Ella.
Work for harmony.
I will give it to you.
It's not the full... What's up?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Sorry.
That was literally for you clint it's more of a brie song but yeah i'm so ridiculous i was anxious about this yesterday hey ella i want to congratulate
you and claudia i don't think that it was a bad thing
That you gave it to her just off work
I'm fine with whatever decision you make
Thank you Clint
I appreciate your support
I'll give you a bonus point
If you can tell me the theme of all these songs
Think of the bands
Are they put together by the people?
No
Expecta
The first one was Destiny's Child
Oh sorry
They're not together anymore
Yeah
Sort of
What was the theme?
They all have successful
Solo acts now
Oh yeah
Okay that's fair
Who's in the little mix
That's made it
No sorry
The fifth harmony
Isn't that Camilla's band
Camilla Cabello
Yeah it is
It's Camilla Cabello
In the fifth harmony
Yeah she was
She's one of the harmonies, yeah.
She's the little one.
She's, oh, today years old, wasn't I?
Okay.
Normani in that one too.
Do we need to tell the people?
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, yeah, we do.
Nikki, you've scored 50 KFC chicken dollars.
Well done.
Thank you so much, guys.
Yay.
We got so carried away,
we forgot that we were doing this for people.
Yeah, we're doing it for the people. That's right.
It's definitely for the people.
Ah, feels good.
Brodie Kane is here.
And are you struggling with your jeans at the moment?
Well, yes.
Is that what you're doing over there?
Look, what?
Okay.
Yes, I am.
Yeah.
Because I like to go with some of the fashion trends, right?
And one of them is mum jeans.
Yeah.
Or should I say mom jeans?
Mom jeans.
But boy, oh boy, if you've got to sit in them for a while,
you may as well just take your uterus and your womb out
for a rest for the afternoon,
pop them back in when you've finished wearing them.
They're so uncomfortable to sit in because they're high-waisted.
I was going to ask, for those of us
unawares, the difference between a mom jean
and a normal jean, is it the height of the
waist that comes up basically to your belly
button? Sorry, between a mom and a what? A normal
jean. Well, like a skinny
jean. Oh, see,
hey, a skinny jean.
While you said that, do you know what's happened to me
about that? So while I'm
complaining about my uncomfortable mom jeans,
I think I'm done with skinny jeans.
Oh, you're finally calling it?
Well, last winter, I think I might have,
they still may have got one or two outings,
but for whatever reason, they didn't look the same.
I just went, no, that's not what we're doing.
When you looked at yourself, they didn't look the same.
Yeah, right.
And I've got a good athletic leg,
but I just, I don't know, is that
what happens in
the fashion cycle? Because
if you think about it,
let's say, what, 10 years ago, 5 years
ago, if you told us that we
were not wearing the skinny jeans, you'd be like,
shut your face. If you told me I was ever going to wear a mom jean,
I would have laughed in your face.
If you told me five years ago that I'd go back to wearing a wide-legged trouser,
I'd be like, get out of here, man.
Give me skinny ones.
And while you're at it, give me some rips in the knees.
Yes.
You know?
But even, hey, our good friend Maddy McLean was in ripped jeans today.
I even think that might be, he's in a ripped skinny today.
And I think that maybe that's, we've called time on that too.
And so that's the thing, right?
And even the, I mean, to be fair, I've always loved a flare.
I think a flare is fantastic.
But they're back.
They're back in a big way.
I feel like there's people that have just never let them go,
and I support that.
I support a flair being around forever.
If you've got rocking a flair.
But I love the fact that we've gone to looser,
but isn't it funny how our fashion evolves?
Yeah.
Does it evolve or does it revolve?
Because we're just going back to the 90s.
We are in like a 30-year cycle.
The funny thing is, though, when you say that, right,
you would think that, well, a couple of years ago,
you'd say of all of the decades, the 90s weren't really it.
You know?
Turns out.
Turns out we're all doing it.
Turns out, yeah.
Which means the next to come back is the 2000s.
And it probably already is.
And by 2000s, I mean Von Dutch.
And I mean...
It already is.
When I was in the Gold Coast a few weeks ago,
there were some young chicks,
and they were wearing like the jeans,
the long jeans that flared,
that dragged along the bottom.
They had the thick belts on
and like a little shoestring singlet and a headband
like kind of, that was 2000s.
I read something
that said that it's all speeding up because it's always been
like a 30 year cycle, 20 to 30
year cycle. But because of things like TikTok,
the trends are speeding up
because they get burnt out so fast
and everybody wants to be at the front of the trend.
So as soon as everybody is wearing
the samba or whatever,
which has just come back from the 70s,
as soon as everybody is wearing it,
everybody sees it on TikTok so much faster,
so they burn out way faster,
whereas you could get away with a cool shoe for a year or so,
now three months and you're on to the next shoe.
Claudia's got something.
Yes.
Speaking of shoes, you know what shoe TikTok has just discovered?
Yeah, what?
The checkered van. I know! And do you know what I TikTok has just discovered? Yeah, what? The checkered van.
I know! And do you know what I've still
got in the wardrobe? Do you still have yours?
In mint condition, unworn
from the last time they were cool.
The checkered vans. Oh my God. I'll wear them tomorrow.
And now they're vintage. Oh yeah, wear them
tomorrow. I'll wear them tomorrow. Hell yeah.
The checkered slip-on van, eh?
There is a few things
because, like, yeah, as I said,
I could hand on heart say
I didn't think I'd be
in a mom jean
and somehow because you're like,
oh, I'd look terrible
and now I look at the skinny jeans
and I'm like, oh no.
There are some things
I think that possibly
I will go to the grave
without doing again.
Well, you said that
about mom jeans,
so what?
No, I didn't say about the grave though.
Okay.
I didn't say about the grave
but I can say this,
I am not,
I'm going to the grave
without wearing anything low-rise ever again.
I can actually tell you that.
I can genuinely, hand on heart,
say that I will not be wearing a low-rise anything.
You won't wear a Tara Reid cut-off below the hip line jean.
No.
And even when you've seen some of the high-fashion people
with the little G-strings out.
And the G-banger sticking out the top.
Yeah.
The other thing you won't see me in
is a heavy denim skirt.
Oh.
This big heavy denim.
You won't see me in one.
They're a bit glory veil,
but again, never say never.
No, I promise.
And then the final thing
you won't see me do
that is kind of fighting to circle back is thin eyebrows.
Nah.
No, you will.
You will.
I've been saying this for years.
I've been saying it for years that thin eyebrows are coming back
and people refuse to believe me.
They're coming back, Ayala.
I have almost not that I would,
but I'm so convinced to bleach my eyebrows or get rid of them.
That's in.
And it looks cool on people.
Never say never.
That's all you can say is you can never say never.
I can say that with those three things.
You can't.
I can.
It's all about the asymmetric qualities in your face and that.
And my, like, no, true story.
Because what happens is I look back at photos of me in my late teens and early 20s,
and I'm an absolute bag of cluster.
I'm a hot mess.
You're a hot cluster bag.
My hair's over textured.
My eyebrows are too thin.
My clothes are awful.
We've got some of those photos together, actually.
We do.
We should upload those.
Oh, my God.
Bree and Clint.
Zed and Bree and Clint.
With Brodie filling in that Sophie Alice Beck star
and murder on the dance floor.
And I tell you something, it's lucky I'm here.
Yeah.
No, true story.
I nearly died today.
And it was quite stressful.
And I was home alone.
Actually, no, I wasn't.
No, I was.
I was meeting my...
I've dug myself a hole.
Who was at your house?
No, actually, no one. It was my mate, my new mate, my've dug myself a hole. Who was at your house? No, actually no one.
It was my mate, my new mate, my bird, the Tui.
Anyway.
Oh, that's even sadder.
I thought you were trying to hide a bloody friend with benefits.
Mate, it would have been, we would have opened the show with that.
We would have opened the show with that.
I would have been that excited.
Was it actually the bird that you've been talking to?
Yeah.
Oh, sadder.
Anyway, let's not wallow in that part
of that story. Anyway, so I'm at home.
I am running late.
I am needing to
put my smoothie
in something that is
safe to travel in the car. Yep. Right?
So in one cupboard is
alcohol and the shelf
above the alcohol is like your protein
sort of shake shakers and
spare bottles. So I'm tippy
towing up, tippy towing up
to try and get one of the
protein bottles. And as
I do that, my hand obviously
leans too much on that shelf
which tips up
and everything
falls on me.
Including what I didn't realise,
which was up there,
because obviously the alcohol shelf was too full,
a full bottle of gin
banged and fell on my head.
Yeah.
Now, it was quite intense
because it was like...
Into the head.
Yeah.
And then I was like...
And then it bounced. It didn't smash. Didn. Yeah. And then I was like, gah! And then it bounced.
It didn't smash.
Didn't smash.
And then there was, for some reason,
there was also a small thing of tea leaves
all over the kitchen floor,
the bottles and everything everywhere.
Did you hit the deck?
I didn't hit the deck,
but I did sort of have to take a bit of a moment
just to take some breaths.
It really hurt.
You took a full bottle of gin to the head.
And I've got actually two bumps on my forehead.
They're just starting to bruise up a bit, those bumps now, by the way.
Good.
Yeah.
That's great.
Just in time for Easter.
They say that gin makes you cry, but not like that.
Usually when you drink it, not when you get clobbered in the head by it.
Gin is my favourite alcohol.
And I thought, imagine that, eh? Usually when you drink it, not when you get clobbered in the head by it. Gin is my favourite alcohol.
And I thought, imagine that, eh?
Death by gin, but not for drinking too much,
for it actually falling on your head.
I saw the Instagram story that you put up about it,
and I saw the bottle of gin.
I don't recognise the brand,
but it's a really solid glass bottle with corners.
It's not a round bottle of, like, tankery.
It's like a rectangular bottle.
And I'm imagining one of those corners got you straight in the forehead.
Yeah, it was, like, honestly, it was.
And then you're, like, you know, you're standing there and you're running late to an appointment.
There's tea leaves on the floor.
You've nearly died.
And you're like, oh, I'm just so alone.
You need one of those St. John's medic alert bracelets.
A medic alert, you know?
Next time the gin falls on your head, you can push the button.
Like the ads where Nana, when she falls out of the shower.
I want to know, though, out of household appliances and things like that,
what has nearly killed people at home?
Yeah.
That's what I want to know because obviously I'm here and I'm okay.
It wasn't even a household appliance.
It was just an item.
I know.
It was an inanimate object.
Yeah.
It had no power running through it, no moving parts.
From the shelf.
Just a gin bottle from up in the high cupboards.
And I caused it, you know?
So, yeah, I'd love to know what nearly killed you in the house.
That's a great question.
0800 dials at M or text us to 9696 and tell us about it.
What was the object that now you're even too scared to touch
or your partner's like,
oh no, we've got to keep that out of reach of John
because he can't be trusted around that thing.
Do you love that my alcohol is stored next to all my protein and stuff?
Like health and wellness?
There's balance.
Exactly.
That's yin and yang.
Yeah.
That's everything in moderation including moderation.
100%.
Speaking of home, eh?
That's where Brodie nearly died today.
Nearly died.
The shelf came down on me and an entire bottle of gin fell on my head.
Someone's texted and said,
F sake, Brodie, why aren't you at A&E?
You could have delayed concussion.
Actually not wrong,
to be honest.
How do you know?
What are you going to do?
Follow my finger.
Nah, she's fine.
She's all good?
She's fine.
She might be a bit drunk,
but she's fine.
I would be so tempted
to have some of that gin afterwards
to be like,
oh well.
Well I'm actually going to have one tonight.
Yeah.
I just think that that's...
And toast to life.
Yeah, 100%.
So,
but I mean it is one of those things, like just think that that's... And toast to life. Yeah, 100%. So, but I mean,
it is one of those things, eh?
Like, your house is dangerous.
It's our place.
It's our haven.
Yeah.
But I nearly died there today.
Well, that's why,
and I don't mean to be grim or flippant,
but that's why when you get to a certain age,
your family's like,
we need to get you out of this house
that you have lived in forever,
but we're just not sure
how safe you are in here anymore.
And I'm not saying you're reaching that age yet.
No, but it is. You know, when you're living on your own, well, I'm not living on my own,
but I'm on my own at the moment.
At the moment, yeah. So we want to know what's the thing in the house that nearly killed
you. Hi, Brad.
G'day. I was assembling a basketball hoop the day before Christmas and really was extending
it up and whatnot, and I thought the bolts and whatnot were tighter and the thing just
came slipping down and didn't even, didn't thought the bolts and whatnot were tighter, and the thing just came slipping down
and didn't even realise it was about to come down,
sort of thing, standing clean under it,
and the hook came straight down on top of my head
with the little hook-type thing to put the net on
and got me clean in the top of the head,
like completely off guard.
Wow.
Yeah, you can imagine it wasn't the most pleasant thing.
Was that a Christmas Eve trip to A&E?
Well, no, no, I didn't go to A&E.
No, no, no.
Just tried to put a plaster on it sort of thing
to try and mop up some of the blood, and she'll be right.
Also, if I know Dad's assembling Christmas presents on Christmas Eve,
there's a few beers involved in the process as well, isn't there, Brad?
That's it, yeah.
You're not wrong.
A couple of, oh, I could LeBron this.
A couple of slam dunks.
There's a couple of non-radio
words that were said right after that.
Well, we're glad you're still with us, Brad. Thanks for sharing.
Let's talk to Steph. Hi, Steph.
Hi.
What was the thing in the house that tried to kill you, Steph?
Cake mixer.
They're dangerous.
What were you making?
Russian fudge.
So picture 115 odd degrees sugar plus a few other ingredients
sitting in the cake mixer bowl.
And the friend I was making this Russian fudge was like,
I can't get it to turn on.
So I'm fiddling with the paddle, and as I click it into place,
it starts up.
And I hadn't realised it was still switched on,
and it flung that 115-degree sugar at my face.
Oh!
Oh, whoa!
Oh, the sugar.
Possum sugar on me!
In the name of...
Are you okay, Steph?
Yeah, yeah, it all healed up thanks to some advice from some amazing nurses.
Yeah.
Wow, that is not fun.
The cat fixer tried to kill you.
Was Russian fudge made or did we park that for that time?
Oh, there she is. Did she get to. Was Russian fudge made or did we park that for that time? Oh, there she is.
Did she get to eat any Russian fudge, Steph?
Unfortunately not.
No.
Because the Russian fudge that was meant to be being beaten
got ignored in favour of performing first aid.
Yeah, fair enough.
And heading off to the A&E.
Fair enough.
Yeah.
Thanks, Steph.
Someone said, what tried to kill me in my house?
The shower bath.
I've had so many near misses in that thing
that my life flashes in front of my eyes so often
I'm bored of the highlights reel now.
They are so dangerous.
We've got one at the moment
that we are going to be replacing,
but boy, oh boy,
you are dicing with death every day with the shower bath.
I moved a cabinet solo.
It was a lot taller than me.
It smacked me in the head. I had a
solid nap after that. Oh, fully
knocked you out. Wow. What about
this? Not laughing.
My water cylinder fell
onto me and trapped me.
The bits holding it to the wall were old
and failed while I was putting towels away
and it fell out onto me,
had a broken left wrist from
trying to stop it and a sprained ankle.
Lucky I wasn't alone.
Yeah.
Jeez.
If it leaked onto you too, you could have got burned.
Oh, gosh.
Yes, drowned.
What tried to kill you in the house?
A bottle of tequila.
Oh, just like you, buddy.
It fell down my throat.
Oh, no, that's not quite what we're getting at.
Chloe's here.
Hi, Chloe.
Hi, guys.
What nearly killed you in your house?
So it wasn't me.
It was my nephew. I was at my sister's
one afternoon and as
a 15-year-old boy does, he was
making chicken nuggets in the oven.
Of course.
And so he had just
put the chicken nuggets in the oven and like
30 seconds later, the range hood
fell off the wall straight onto the oven.
And if he had been standing under there, it would have knocked him straight out.
Wow.
Oh, my God, the range hood fell out of the range hood's location.
Yeah, it was a pretty old one, but yeah, it was pretty big.
One of those big, clunky white ones from the 90s.
Exactly, yeah.
With a noisy fan inside them.
Jeez, that's like Final Destination.
Same as the Russian Fudge.
I feel like this is an important question to ask.
Did the 15-year-old still get some chicken nuggets?
He did.
Thankfully, my mum saved the day,
and she jumped in there and grabbed them out of the oven.
Good.
Not a full tragedy there.
I'd be nothing worse than not getting the nuggies, honestly.
I mean, I love that you said my 15-year-old nephew,
as you do when you're a 15-year-old.
I'm like, I'm 37.
It brings me great joy to still cook nuggies in the oven.
Air fryers have changed the game with nuggets, though.
They're a lot safer to prepare.
True.
Totally.
Thanks, Chloe.
We appreciate it.
Thanks, guys.
Someone texts, I took the top left of my index finger off
with the hand stick blender.
Yeah.
The kitchen's dangerous, isn't it?
I stuck a knife in the toaster when I was younger
so it wouldn't melt the butter
when it was too hard to spread.
So you stuck a knife with butter on it in the toaster.
Oh my God.
Safe to say I never did that again.
That's actually, do you know what though, eh?
Like when you put silly little pieces of vogels
in the toaster and they get stuck down there,
that's what you've got to do.
You've got to un-switch it though.
No, no.
Wooden toast tongs.
Wooden toast tongs.
Go to the George and Willie website.
Get some wooden toast tongs.
They'll change your life.
Okay.
Honest to God, one of my best life hacks.
Or Vogels could just make a toaster that fits their bread.
And that toasts Vogels properly in one go.
Don't even start me.
Bree and Clint. Bree and Clint.
Bree and Clint.
All I want for my birthday is a birthday banger.
All right, what have we got?
What is the universe serving us up for a birthday banger this afternoon?
You tell us your birthday, and we tell you the number one song
the day that you turned 16.
And Maddie's going to go first on behalf of their partner, Nathan.
Hi, Maddie.
Hi, how are you? Good. Why are we not doing your birthday banger, Maddie's going to go first on behalf of their partner, Nathan. Hi, Maddie.
Hi, how are you?
Good.
Why are we not doing your birthday banger, Maddie?
I've done one before and it was a horrible song.
Do you remember what it was?
It was a DJ Khaled, maybe Justin Bieber song.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Not memorable.
No, not at all.
Okay.
Well, good of you to do Nathan's.
Is Nathan with you? Yes, he is. Okay. Give us Well, good of you to do that. Nathan's. Is Nathan with you?
Yes, he is.
Okay.
Give us Nathan's details and we'll do his birthday banger.
2nd of October, 1999.
Ooh, okay.
2nd of October, 1999 means that he turned 16 in 2015.
And on that day, this was the number one song. I can't feel my face when I'm with you.
But I love it. Oh, chin. But I love it. number one song.
Oh, churn.
Wild.
This song is almost 10 years old.
It is wild, eh?
It is wild.
The Weeknd.
What do you reckon, Maddie?
Yeah, it's pretty jammy.
It is pretty jammy.
It is quite jammy.
Pretty jammy jammy.
Okay, wait there.
It's Justin's turn
for a birthday banger.
G'day, Justin.
Hi.
G'day, Justin.
G'day, Justin.
How are you going, Justin?
How's your weird Tuesday been?
All right.
I've been in bed most of the day.
I can tell.
Yeah, okay.
That's all right.
It sounds like it.
Hey, Tuesdays are for anything,
aren't they? Justin, from bed,
what is your date of birth? We're going to do your
birthday banger.
2nd of
11, 89.
Okay, Justin. Alright, so
2nd of November, 89
means that you were
16 in 2005,
which means that on that day,
this was your song.
Oh, banger.
Yeah, I like that one.
That's a ripper.
They recently got the lewd treatment.
Remember they did the drum and bass remix of it?
Yep.
This is still better, I think.
Yeah, I agree.
All right, good stuff, Justin. That'll kick you into another gear, won't it? All right, Juzzy, I think. Yeah, I agree. All right, good stuff, Justin.
That'll kick you into another gear, won't it?
All right, Jazzy, wait there.
We're going to do Zoe's birthday banger.
Hi, Zoe.
Hi, Kira.
How are you guys?
We're good.
We're good.
How are you?
Yeah, good.
Not too bad after a long weekend.
Yeah?
Yeah.
Fair enough.
Give us your date of birth, Zoe.
Let's rip through your birthday banger as well.
25th of the 10th, 1968.
Okay.
25th of October, 1968 means that you were 16 in 1984,
and on that day, this was your number one.
I don't want to play you.
Wham!
Yes. Brodie's screwing up her face.
Do you not appreciate Wham?
Did you not watch the Netflix show?
I do appreciate Wham.
Yeah.
But this is not my favourite Wham song.
You know, like...
I think it's good, Zoe. I think I... Yeah, I think it's good, Zoe.
I think I was thinking of the George Michael way in 90, though.
Yeah.
I'm going to vote for Matterfix Big City Life.
Oh, okay. I'm going to vote for Matterfix Big City Life. Oh, okay.
I'm going to vote for
that one as well.
Stop it,
because I haven't heard it in years
and I'm like,
it's a cool song.
We'd love to congratulate Justin.
That's the same opening
as Savage Garden, isn't it?
He's gone back to bed,
so we can't.
From 2005,
here's Matterfix,
ZM.
Brian Clint.
Say that I regret it?
I regret it.
Brian Clint with Brodie.
That's Matterfix, Big City Life.
Brodie was just saying she regrets her choice for birthday banger.
I really do.
I think it starts off strong.
You think you're going to get more.
Do you wish you'd gone for the weekend?
I do.
Yeah.
We may have just uncovered a song conspiracy here.
Well, you may have.
Yep.
I've never considered this before.
You said as it started, and you would have heard Brodie say as Matterfix started,
that it sounds like it's the same as the Savage Garden song.
The opening of that, yeah.
So you're talking about this bit.
And I've just done a bit of digging.
I think the Savage Garden song you're talking about is this one.
Yeah?
Yeah.
So from the start, Metafix. And from the start, Savage Garden.
No, that's Metafix.
From the start, Savage Garden.
Down.
Oh!
Oh!
Metafix Wait for it
and I'll sing
Wait here we go
Wait
I'll be your
Be your wish
I'll be your fantasy
I got distracted
by the other lyrics.
Oh my God.
Yeah.
That's wild.
Hey, I just picked that up.
You could go viral on TikTok for that.
Viral.
Oh, it's my lifelong dream to go viral on TikTok.
Also, can I just say, absolute banger.
Absolute banger.
Absolute.
Ahead of its time.
Oh, my God.
And that's it.
