Starting point is 00:00:00 The ZM Podcast Network. G'day everybody, welcome to the show, it's Bree and Clint. Happy Wednesday, hump day everyone, welcome back. Thank you. Welcome back, how are you feeling? Good, yeah, good. Going well? Yeah, did a COVID test, that was a throwback.
Starting point is 00:00:24 Oh yeah, it is a throwback these days when you have to do one of those. I wonder if, because they're probably almost definitely expired. I walked past the chemist the other day and they just had a bucket, like a big bin of them outside the chemist and it said free. Just take, please take these COVID tests. I always take free ones when I come back into the country. Yeah. At the airport.
Starting point is 00:00:40 Yeah. I mean, you're supposed to because they want you to test when you come back into the country. But I always just take a couple extra. Yeah. Yeah, for sure. That's just safety. Sometimes I just test to see if I'm ovulating with one of them. Where do you stick the swab?
Starting point is 00:00:54 Oh, you know. You don't want to know. Yeah. How many lines? You wee on it. Right. It's a different test when you wee on it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:01:00 Why didn't we on mine? I went down the throat. Still no COVID. Three years, no COVID. You've had COVID. No,, no COVID. You've had COVID. No, I have not. You hundred, I would put $100 on the fact that you've had it. I'll put $100 on the fact that I haven't had it.
Starting point is 00:01:13 You've had it. I haven't had it. You've had it. I haven't had it. I haven't had it. I sound, today I sound like I've had it. I thought I had it. Producers, do you think he's had it or not?
Starting point is 00:01:22 Yes or no? Absolutely. Definitely has. No, you don't know. No, my body. Would you go in on this bet? Yeah. So we will go in as a group and we put in 100 combined. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:01:33 And then if he's wrong, he gives us and we split the 100. Yeah, 100 each. Or 100 each. No. Are you that confident? No, that's not how a bet works. You're not that confident? When I get 100, if I lose, I pay $300.
Starting point is 00:01:47 You put the terms on. You put out the wages. He's confident. He's not that confident. You're certainly not so confident. No, I'm so confident that I want my $300. I'm going to write up the contract, okay? Yeah, draw it up.
Starting point is 00:01:57 Thank you. Write it up. And then us three will go out to lunch on Clint's money. Oh, thanks, Clint. Clint's COVID money. Anyway, today on the show, there's cash up for grabs at 4 o'clock with the $25,000 cash catch-up. We're going to do it again.
Starting point is 00:02:12 You can take home some money, some serious money up for grabs with Fletchford and Hayley this morning. I wonder how much we've got. Yeah, so much fun giving away people. Giving away people. That's not what we're doing. At quarter past four, we're giving away a person. We're not doing that.
Starting point is 00:02:26 We've got babies to give away. No, we don't. So much fun giving cash away to people, especially when there's a cost of living crisis going on. So we'll do that at four. Right now, we're going to give away $50 cash, thanks to KFC, with some Tradie versus Lady. If you want to play, 0800-DIAL-ZM right now.
Starting point is 00:02:44 We'll get you on next. Bree and Clint. Ladies. Ladies. If you want to play 0800DIALZM right now, we'll get you on next. Bree and Clint. It's Treaty versus Ladies. Three, two, one, let's go. Score update for the year. We have been keeping score every day, all year. The Ladies. Every day.
Starting point is 00:03:02 Have won 88 times. And the Tradies, 79. The tradies are going to make a comeback. They need to make a move soon. I mean, there's not that much time left of the year, is there? They are a full two solid weeks of winning behind the ladies. It's going to take a lot to come back, but I mean... It's doable.
Starting point is 00:03:21 It's doable. It's meet our lady first. She's in Cambridge. She's 18. And her favourite Taylor Swift song is Karma. Welcome to the show, Ashley. Hi, Ash. Do you believe in it though?
Starting point is 00:03:33 Yes. Karma will get you, won't it? Yeah, definitely. I do love Karma because I feel like if you're someone that does the right thing, always will come back in your favour. I heard that Karma's a real B-I-T-C-H, though. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:48 She can be. She can be. You're taking on our tradies today. They're calling from Palmerston North. They're 19 and they are left-handed. That's your fun fact, Jacob, that you're left-handed. Yep, that's my fun fact. What's the biggest struggle as a left-handed person in the world, Jacob?
Starting point is 00:04:08 Oh, just the left-handed screwdriver. It is a struggle. I mean, you know, they should make it universal, shouldn't they? Nah, that's too much to ask for. Yeah, along with scissors. No, you can get left-handed scissors. I know, but they should make scissors in general just universal. Oh, right.
Starting point is 00:04:26 Is what I'm saying. Like the screwdriver. Yeah, I see what you're saying. You know? But then where do you put your thumb? Anyway, this is a conversation for powers above us. Jacob, your buzzer is tradie. Ashley, yours is lady.
Starting point is 00:04:35 First of three correct answers gets 50 bucks cash from KFC. Good luck. Here we go, guys. Question number one. The polls say Labour has a 0.1 chance of winning this year's election. Who's the leader of the Labour Party? Brady. Yes, Jacob.
Starting point is 00:04:51 Is it Chris Hipkins? It is. It is Chris Hipkins, the current Prime Minister of the country. Nice work. You're on the board with one. Would you have accepted Chippy? Yep. Would you have accepted the Ginger Ninja?
Starting point is 00:05:02 Yep. Would you have accepted Little Ron Weasley? Yep. Okay, perfect. There you go. I mean, any nicknames. Question number two. Buzz in, guys, when you can tell me who sings this song.

It's 2-1 to the tradies. Question number four. Name the capital city of Austria. Oh, God. No idea. This is a hard one.
Starting point is 00:05:58 I wouldn't have got this one. Buzz them out. I don't think anyone's going to get it. Vienna. Yeah. Is the capital. I would never have got that. Okay, we'll move on to question number five.
Starting point is 00:06:09 What is sodium chloride referred to as? You might put it on your dinner. Yes, Ashley. Is it salt? It is salt. Oh, you're staging a good comeback, but this is the tiebreaker, guys. This is for the win. Here we go.
Starting point is 00:06:25 Question number six. What sport does Taylor Swift's new boyfriend play? Brady. Oh, lady. Yes, Jacob. NFL. NFL is correct. Ashley, I feel like that was your question.
Starting point is 00:06:42 Yeah, that was real sodium chloride in the wound, wasn't it, Ash? Oh, Jacob. I knew it, I knew it, yeah. You bloody swooped in there, mate. Nice work. $50 cash from KFC coming your way. Thank you very much. Shout out to Don Taylor.
Starting point is 00:06:55 Shout out to Don Taylor indeed. Nice work. Whoever he is. Yeah. Good fella, Don Taylor. RIP. Don't say that. Brian Clint. ZM, Don Taylor. R.I.P. Don't say that. Brian Clint.
Starting point is 00:07:08 Is that him? Brian Clint. That's Marshmello and Khalid at silence. The name that is on everyone's lips is Travis Kelsey. And if it's not on your lips, where have you been? Taylor Swift's new boyfriend. Yeah. He's a tight end in the NFL.
Starting point is 00:07:24 Isn't he just? Isn't he? I'd never heard of him. He's a hunger end in the NFL. Isn't he just? Isn't he? I'd never heard of him. He's a hunger, hunger, burn in love with a moustache. Until Taylor Swift started dating him. Because obviously the NFL, huge in America, but not really in New Zealand. And not really on the Swifties radar either. Not really.
Starting point is 00:07:40 Until Taylor Swift took an interest. And now all the Swifties. They've got fantasy teams. They're buying Guernseys. They're going to the Super Bowl. They're into it. Anyway, there's this trend that's taking hold on Twitter, on TikTok, where the Swifties are winding up their partners,
Starting point is 00:07:58 their boyfriends, their husbands, by saying Taylor Swift has put Travis Kelsey on the map. He's only relevant because she's dating him. He's won two Super Bowls, but he's, I mean, he's going global now. Take a listen. Put Travis Kelsey on the map. Uh, no. No, she didn't.
Starting point is 00:08:19 Yes, she did. Put Travis Kelsey on the map? Literally nobody knew who he was until she came along. Like Taylor, he might be the best tight end in the history of the NFL. No woman knows who he was if it wasn't for Taylor Swift. Don't even do this. Don't even. No.
Starting point is 00:08:34 I'm not going to. No. So we thought we're going to call someone who we know likes the NFL and just test out this theory. Let's see if it winds up Soundkeeper Gary. Hello? Hello, is that Soundkeeper Gary? Oh, it's been a while, but
Starting point is 00:08:53 technically, yes. Gary, obviously, it's Bree here from Bree and Clint. I just wanted to check in with you to see how you were feeling around, obviously, Taylor Swift putting NFL tight end Travis Kelsey on the map. Now people know who he is.
Starting point is 00:09:09 Isn't it good? You mean one of the greatest NFL players of all time? Is it that same Travis Kelsey you're talking about there? We don't know. Because literally no one knew who he was until Taylor Swift started dating him. Never heard of him. Literally no one, Gary. Guys, we're in New Zealand.
Starting point is 00:09:26 I think if we got out of here, you would find that Travis Kelsey is an absolute sweetheart of a gentleman, honest hall of famer, and an absolute legend all around. I mean, how good, though, that Taylor Swift is helping out his career where he can actually, you know, take off now and maybe actually get recognised. Guys, this is painful. He's 33 years of age and he's done so much with his career. I mean, but what has he actually done, though, before dating Taylor Swift?
Starting point is 00:09:54 I think he's got two Super Bowl rings and I think he's going to win about three or four more before the end of his career. But you would agree, Gary, that this is the most important career move that Travis Kelsey's ever made, dating Taylor Swift, right? I mean, it is a great retirement plan. I mean, what is the Super Bowl, really?
Starting point is 00:10:18 Is that an eating competition or something? I think it's where a bunch of pop stars play music. Isn't it the Rihanna concert? Gotcha, gotcha. Just wanted to make sure you were as excited as us that Travis Kelsey is now being recognised and is actually famous If you are to find the flag
Starting point is 00:10:37 for Taylor Swift I appreciate you bringing some attention to Travis Kelsey and his career and that sport that they play over there. Yeah, whatever it is. Whatever that sport is.
Starting point is 00:10:49 They throw your ball around. All right. Thanks, Gary. What's this year's secret sound? Your face. Thanks, man. Look, if you're in a long-term relationship, something that I feel like can start a lot of fights
Starting point is 00:11:04 is sleeping arrangements because if you don't get a good night's sleep and your partner's keeping you up, it can make a lot of cranky people even crankier. Oh, sleeping arrangements within your relationship. Yeah. Ah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, like bed sleeping arrangements,
Starting point is 00:11:20 people who's snoring, what side of the bed you're sleeping on, how soft do you want the mattress compared to how soft they want it. Especially at the change of season, you know? Yeah. Coming into summer, coming into winter, that's when couples generally butt heads. There's been contention in my relationship recently
Starting point is 00:11:38 where I don't want a bloody top sheet. I literally feel like I'm in a straight jacket. I get tangled up in it. I wake up in a panic. I just don't see the point. Can I say this to you as your friend in regards to top sheets? Safe space. I just want to say this to you as a friend. Grow up. That's why I don't want
Starting point is 00:11:58 a top sheet. It's time for a top sheet. You're an adult woman. I don't want one. It's time for a top sheet. And then like when making the bed, it makes it double the amount of work. Yeah, that's what being an adult is. Doing twice the amount of work for half the amount of enjoyment. What does it really bring? What's it bringing to the table? An air of class and sophistication. Like? Well, I might have you on this one because in Scandinavia, they don't like top sheets.
Starting point is 00:12:24 Do they not? It's not a thing really in scandinavia apparently copenhagen they don't like a top sheet and they do an excellent ice cream cone though they do oh something they also uh do differently in terms of sleeping arrangements is they like to have two separate duvets i've seen this yeah. Yeah. There's a woman on TikTok that's going viral at the moment because she went on a trip and some of the things she picked up from that trip was no top sheet because or else the two duvets doesn't really
Starting point is 00:12:54 work as well. No. And two duvets. Take a listen. We're going to be doing the Scandinavian sleep method. So in Copenhagen, not once have I slept with one duvet. It is always two twins and we sleep so good. Like no one's fighting over blankets.
Starting point is 00:13:12 Nobody's too hot or too cold. It's absolutely amazing. It actually makes so much sense. It's actually genius. So you have a queen size bed, but you each have a double duvet. Yeah. And that way, because if you roll over and pull the duvet,
Starting point is 00:13:24 you can never pull it off your partner. You just take your own duvet with you. God, it makes me angry. Why? You know, when I feel like I'm not getting as much of the duvet as my partner, I'm kind of like, give it to me. You could have two top sheets. You could have individual top sheets. I don't think I'd ever make it out alive.
Starting point is 00:13:40 I'd be trapped in my bed. I'd be tangled up in this absolute sheet mess. Yeah. You know? Yeah, yeah, I get it. in my bed. I'd be tangled up in this absolute sheet mess. Yeah. You know? Yeah, yeah, I get it. I get it. There are those duvets you can get, which they go in the one duvet inner,
Starting point is 00:13:52 but you button two different duvets together. I used to have that duvet. So you can have a heavy, thick duvet, and they can have a light summer duvet, depending on how you regulate your own body temperature. I mean, it's getting complicated now, isn't it? You know what you could really get if you want to get deep into bed individualisation?
Starting point is 00:14:08 Different beds. Different beds, yeah. Just sleep in a different bed. Or those geriatric beds that have got the remote control where you can bring the back of your bed up a bit and they can stay fit. They cost a fortune. They do.
Starting point is 00:14:18 They cost a lot of money. They do. And you do seem like you're in hospital. I would be keen. Like, I'm not above, you know, being in an age group where it's not meant for me technically, but I don't care. Would your partner consent to individual duvets? No, because she still wants a top sheet.
Starting point is 00:14:32 Yeah. Yeah. She could be under the top sheet. Maybe, maybe. You could be on top of the top sheet. Maybe this is how I get around not having a top sheet. Yeah. If you want the two duvets, the top sheet's got to go.
Starting point is 00:14:44 No, I figured it out for you guys. I know the solution. Bunk beds. That way you're in the same room. There is so much more room for activities. Isn't there? Activities. You can have the double on the bottom and the single on the top. Wait, I don't want
Starting point is 00:14:59 to go into detail about my activity. Brie and Clint. I've got a question for you guys and I want everybody's answer on this. I want Ella and Claudia and Bree, I want you all to chime in on this. It's a hypothetical, okay? I don't actually have the money to pay you in this situation,
Starting point is 00:15:13 so I just need you to pretend. No, we're going to need to see the money up front. No, no. Aren't we, girls? Money, money. Money before talky-talky. Well, then if I put the money up, you actually have to do the thing.
Starting point is 00:15:24 Oh. Well, it depends what it is. I need to hear the terms. Here's the scenario, and you can text us your answer on 9696 as well. You get $100,000. Oh, thank you. Great.
Starting point is 00:15:35 Let's leave it at that, shall we? I think we'll leave it there. If you can beat Usain Bolt over 100 metres. Are we allowed to injure him in any way? No. But you can have a head start. Are we allowed to tie him up? No, you can have a head start.
Starting point is 00:15:52 What about just for fun? Listen, there's money on the line, okay? You can have $100,000 if you can beat Usain Bolt over 100 metres. Jeez, you'd need a big head start. You can decide how big your head start is, but every metre of the head start costs $1,000. Sweet, 90 metre head start. Perfect.
Starting point is 00:16:08 Done. Done, easy. I'm never going to win. 90 metres. 99 metres. So you only want $1,000. That's a lot of money. There's 100 grand here.
Starting point is 00:16:16 Do you want to split it? I'd be happy with that. Yeah, fair enough. No. Okay, let's talk about it serious. Yeah, seriously. Take this. Jeez, you're so flippant.
Starting point is 00:16:25 This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The fastest I'd ever run 100 metres was when I was quite young. I reckon I would have been 14, 15, and I was running it like a 13 flat. Yeah. So I had a couple of seconds on for being old and overweight. So probably about 15, I'd say, would be not a bad time. 15 seconds. So 15, what's half of 15?
Starting point is 00:16:49 Seven. So about seven and a bit. Yeah. So seven and a bit. So if I had 50 metre head start. Yeah. And so that means I technically could run the 50 metres in like seven. He runs it in like 12 points.
Starting point is 00:17:02 Yeah, 50. 50 metre head start. He runs it in 9.5. Got two. Yep, 50. 50 metre head start. He runs it in 9.5. Got two seconds up my sleeve. 50 metre head start. You're going to 50 metre mark? Yep. Lock it in. So you think you are, you think Usain Bolt is twice
Starting point is 00:17:16 as fast as you? Yeah. Just twice as fast? Yeah. Okay. That's about right. Okay, 50 metres. I just reckon I could run 50 metres in, I mean, what did I say? Seven and a half, give me a little bit extra, like eight seconds. They say a healthy adult should
Starting point is 00:17:32 be able to run 100 metres in 15 seconds. Okay, so I'm not healthy, so that'd be about 16 seconds. Okay, 50. 50 metre head start. Okay, Claudia, where are you running from? I don't back myself as a runner at all, so I feel like 50 metre head start. Okay. Claudia, where are you running from? I don't back myself as a runner at all. So I feel like 50 is too far.
Starting point is 00:17:47 Yeah. So I think if I'm being realistic, the minimum head start would probably be about 80. 80 metres. And I'll do a 20. Yeah. And what, he's got nine seconds? He's got to do 100 metres and you're 20 metres.
Starting point is 00:18:00 Yeah. So my 20 metres will take me seven seconds. And I've got two seconds to spare as well. Walking away 20 grand. Thank you very much. Okay, I got it. 20 grand's not bad. 20 grand is good.
Starting point is 00:18:09 This is what I'm saying. It's like a sure thing. Yeah. And this is where it gets interesting because Claudia's 20 grand is, you'd argue, a sure thing.
Starting point is 00:18:17 Your 50 grand is still It's a sure thing. It's 50-50. Mate, you didn't see me as a kid. I was fast. I was like lightning. I back that my muscle memory has carried over from when I was 14 to now in my 30s.
Starting point is 00:18:30 Yeah. Yeah, I've got just enough muscle memory left. I kind of want to see this. So do I. So do I. Should we hire out a track? Is that all you're saying now? Oh, so we could actually test it.
Starting point is 00:18:42 Yeah, we could. Ella, where are you running from? Gosh. What did you say? If you're just joining us, you've got to beat Usain Bolt over 100 metres. For $100,000, you can have a bigger head start as you want, but every metre costs you $1,000. Come on, go for 50, Ella.
Starting point is 00:18:56 Back yourself. I'm risking it. I'm going to go 75. 75 metres. Pretty good. So wait, so you've got to run 25 metres. Oh, that's a lot. Is that right?
Starting point is 00:19:03 Yeah. It's not that far. It's fine. You'll see this bullet going past you. Yeah, that's going to be me. I'm going to be the bullet. I'm taking the money. Yeah, okay.
Starting point is 00:19:17 I got into my wife's car today and sort of did a double take and had to say, hey, why is there a candle in your car? A candle? A candle, yeah. She has adopted. That seems like a fire hazard. Doesn't it?
Starting point is 00:19:36 Doesn't it? I said, look. You don't want to catch on fire when you're driving. No. I mean, other times, great, but not when you're driving. It just doesn't seem like the place for a candle. And I said, look, hey, your car, your space, your decision. Why is there a candle in here?
Starting point is 00:19:51 It's in the cup holder, the scented candle in the cup holder. And she said, oh, saw it on TikTok. They said that a candle is more effective, a scented candle is more effective for your car than an air freshener is. How many farts is she doing in her car? That she needs a full scented candle in there? Well, to her credit, she has the car seats and the kids in there,
Starting point is 00:20:10 so there's food and all of that stuff. I was like, yeah, but, and I just stopped and I bit my tongue because I was like, I don't want to. Is she lighting the candle? That's what I needed to ask. Or is it just sitting in there? That's what I needed to ask. I said, look, I have to ask you this question,
Starting point is 00:20:23 and I know you're not a stupid person. I know you're not. But person. I know you're not. But I haven't seen the TikTok hack. You're not lighting the candle, are you? And she went, no, of course I'm not lighting the candle. I went, oh, phew. Does it work without lighting it? It must be a smelly candle. The TikTok hack says
Starting point is 00:20:39 that just having it in your car and because your car gets so hot when the windows are wound up and it's parked, it kind of like, yeah. Yeah, I can see that happening. It off-gasses and it just sort of gives your car the aroma. And I got to give it to her. The car smelt lovely. She had a little Ikoya candle just in the cup holder.
Starting point is 00:20:58 The car smelt wonderful. I think it was bergamot and sea salt and sandalwood. I don't know. The car smelled nice, though. All the Koya candles smell lovely. God, I was relieved to know she wasn't lighting the candle, though. Just. Well, that's what, was the wick burnt or not?
Starting point is 00:21:18 No, it wasn't. It was a freshie. Right. It was a freshie. Right. If the wick had been lit, I would be asking. I used hacks I see on TikTok all the time. Some work, some don't, if I'm honest.
Starting point is 00:21:30 What's one that you've used recently? One that I've used recently would be when you've got like a packet and you're putting it into a pot and you know how you're always trying to get the rest of the like sauce out of the packet or whatever it is. I've seen this one. You put the packet on the side of the pot and you get the lid and then you put the lid on top and then you pull the packet whilst holding the lid on top and it gets all of the stuff out.
Starting point is 00:21:53 You drag it out. Yeah. That's a great one. That's a hack I saw on TikTok. I saw one that doesn't work. It's that people cleaning the chrome in their shower, like the metal parts in their shower. With baking paper. With baking paper.
Starting point is 00:22:05 With baking paper, and it's meant to bring it up all shiny. It did nothing. Yeah. Nothing. That one's a dead end. Yeah. A hack I use every single week, and I still do it to this day, I have grated eggs.
Starting point is 00:22:18 Grated eggs? Yeah. It's one of my standard breakfasts now. How do you grate an egg? So I'll have a bagel, and then put like mayo and then avocado on my bagel and then I'll boil my egg. Oh, boiled grated egg. And then I'll like get the, obviously take the shell off
Starting point is 00:22:36 and then I'll grate it like on the real like fine grater and then it's like this soft, fluffy grated egg and then I put a bit of Parmesan cheese on it. It's delish. And you learned that from TikTok? Saw it on TikTok. Let's get them in this afternoon because that's a good one. Trust me, it sounds
Starting point is 00:22:51 crazy. And I also would vouch. Oh, pardon you. Not 100% better yet. I'll vouch for the candle hack. It works. I feel like it would. Just do not light the candle. Yeah. Just do not light the candle. That's a bad idea.
Starting point is 00:23:06 The car candle. Oh, $800 at M. Or you can text us on 9696. What is the TikTok hack that you saw? And did it work or did it not work? Bree and Clint. I feel like people make stuff up on purpose just to see how many people they can get to try their hack.
Starting point is 00:23:23 That's not real. Some of them are definitely trolls. Yeah. Yeah, 100%. They're like, hey, if your television remote isn't working, put it in the kitchen sink. Put it in the dishwasher. I saw a real one on TikTok the other day where they were like,
Starting point is 00:23:35 get a bottle of Sprite and if you put this certain glue in it, then it will turn into like a slime. It doesn't. It just, it makes the... Did you do it? I didn't do it, but I saw someone else try it. Oh, okay. And they were like, this is BS.
Starting point is 00:23:48 So real or fake, what's the TikTok hack that you tried? Hi, Anna. Hi, Anna. Hi. What was it? What's the TikTok hack? It was heatless curls with rose, like a dressing gown. Oh, yeah, I've seen this.
Starting point is 00:24:02 Yeah, you roll your hair up and then you, is that the one? And you put it. I've seen people do this with socks. I do it with robe curls when my hair's wet. Like I have a shower and then I put it in. Yeah, and does it work? But I make sure it's like really tight. It does.
Starting point is 00:24:20 It does work. Next morning I take it out. Okay. Yeah, a lot of hair hacks on TikTok. Approved. Thank you. And now let's talk to Maddie. Hi, Maddie Next morning I'll check it out. Okay. Yeah, a lot of hair hacks on TikTok. Approved. Thank you. Anna, let's talk to Maddie. Hi, Maddie.
Starting point is 00:24:27 Hi, Maddie. Hi. What's the TikTok hack that you tried? It's scrunching up tinfoil and then scrubbing it on your... Wait, we lost you there. What was it? Scrubbing it on your what? Your entire rim.
Starting point is 00:24:41 I've seen this. And it's meant to bring them up shiny again. That doesn't sound like a good idea. Is it real? Does it work, Maddie? It sounds like it would scratch your rims. I've seen this and it's meant to bring them up shiny again. That doesn't sound like a good idea. Is it real? Does it work, Maddy? It sounds like it would scratch your rims. You'd think so, but my partner does it on his vehicles
Starting point is 00:24:53 that he cleans up and all that and he says it works a treat. I have seen people do this with Coca-Cola as well, like they dip the tinfoil in Coca-Cola. Have you seen that? No, I've seen it with Coke. I've seen it with water and then just, you know, scrape it, rub it around.
Starting point is 00:25:07 Could you do it on anything that was a bit rusty or dull? Would you rub tinfoil on it and it would bring it up shiny? Yeah, I'd say so. You know what else is fun that I used to do back in the day, Maddie, is when you've got fillings, you put the alfoil in your mouth and then it gives you a zap. I can't say I've done that one. I don't recommend it. It's actually really not good for you, but it's you a zap. I may have done that one. I don't recommend it.
Starting point is 00:25:26 It's actually really not good for you, but it's what a rush. They don't make fillings out of the stuff that reacts with tinfoil anymore, eh? No, they don't. There's a whole generation of people that will never know the horrific feeling of biting into tinfoil on one of your fillings. It's good. Because it goes right into your tooth's nerve, eh? You get an adrenaline rush. You're like, whoa.
Starting point is 00:25:46 I don't have any left, but I remember before I was getting one of those taken out for a new one. I was like, may as well give it one more whirl. Look, this one is not approved by me or us, but it's worth reading out. Do your research before you do this. Someone said when a child gets something stuck up their nose, like a bead or something, instead of trying to pick it out, you block up the other nostril and then you blow through their mouth
Starting point is 00:26:12 and the thing that's in their nostril should pop right out. That's actually recommended by doctors. Really? Yeah. As a parent, I probably should have known about that. They said, I'm an ECE teacher and it saved a parent a trip to the A&E once. You can even do it if your baby is really blocked up.
Starting point is 00:26:30 Really? Yeah, if they're really congested. And it blows their snot out. Disgusting. I mean, it is disgusting. Someone's corroborated the tinfoil one that said tinfoil cleans metal. It cleans your bike spokes really well.
Starting point is 00:26:45 That's wild to me. I feel like it just would scratch it. Am I meant to be using tinfoil in the shower instead of baking paper? Did I get the hack wrong? Could be. Could be tinfoil. That makes more sense if this is working on rims of the car.
Starting point is 00:26:58 Well, there you go. Feel free to keep sharing your TikTok hacks with us. Let's talk about the biggest lottery win in history because at the end of last year, the American lottery gave away the biggest prize that they've ever given away. Yeah. It was over $2 billion US dollars.
Starting point is 00:27:19 That is an insane amount of money. So just wrap your head around that. That's over $3 billion New Zealand dollars. Have you seen that formula that tries to explain to people how much a billion is? I can't even comprehend how much it is. So a million seconds adds up to 11 days. That's how many seconds there are in 11 days, a million.
Starting point is 00:27:44 A billion seconds is 31 years. Up to 11 days, that's how many seconds there are in 11 days, a million. A billion seconds is 31 years. That's the difference between a million and a billion. It's so different. It is so different. Because you think, oh, you get to 100 million and that's a billion. No. No.
Starting point is 00:28:00 It's so much more than that. It's 1,000. It's 1,000 million. It's 1,000 million. And then they won two of those. They won two thousand million dollars. The person who won that was 31 year old Edwin Castro
Starting point is 00:28:14 and he opted because when you win an amount like that, you can either take it over a number of years, the whole amount or you take a lump sum. What do you think he did? You get whole amount, or you take a lump sum. What do you think he did? You get a bit less if you take the lump sum, eh?
Starting point is 00:28:29 You get a lot less. A lot less? I think you get quite a lot less, yeah. Lump sum. Take the lump sum. He decided to take a lump sum, which turned out to be, so the prize was over $2 billion. Billion, yeah. He ended up getting $997 million.
Starting point is 00:28:48 So about a billion. About a billion. Yeah. Anyway, he's bought a few things. So let's go through. Before you do that, so he was 31. Yes. What do you reckon the best age is to win a billion dollars?
Starting point is 00:29:02 31. Why 31? Because you're not as stupid as you were when you were 21 and you still got a lot of good years left. You're still fairly stupid at 31 though. You're not as dumb as 21. Depends how much life experience you got but you've got
Starting point is 00:29:16 You've got your life ahead of you at 31. I see what you're saying. Like 41 would be good too. Yeah. But like I feel like 31 maybe it depends on the person. Yeah. There's an age though. There will be an age which is perfect.
Starting point is 00:29:29 But anyway, what does a 31-year-old do with a billion dollars? So Edwin Castro, 31, he's won pretty much a billion dollars and he decided he would invest in real estate. So he has bought a $40 million estate in the Hollywood Hills. That was the first thing he bought. Shortly after that, he bought a $6.2 million property close by. And then the reason why he's in the news at the moment is because he's made another purchase.
Starting point is 00:30:01 Right. On the property ladder. This one is his biggest one by far. Yeah. And he's bought a property for $73 million in Bel Air. So he's now got three mansions in California. The new home, do you want to hear some of the specs on this new home? $73 million.
Starting point is 00:30:22 $73 million. These are some of the specs on this new 73 million dollars 73 million dollars these are some of the specs on the new home so it's a 4700 square meter block which is big big it has seven bedrooms and 11 bathrooms it has uh dj i never understand when a house has more bathrooms than bedrooms well you've got to have guests like when you're just entertaining bathrooms around the entertaining area. He's got DJ turntables that rise up from the ground, a champagne tasting room, a wine cellar, a suspended glass walkway, a theatre and an infinity pool overlooking all of LA. He also bought a vintage Porsche 911. But anyway, financial planners are saying, they're actually criticising him and saying that his lavish spending isn't a good idea.
Starting point is 00:31:10 Yeah. And he's made some terrible purchases. But I've done the math on it, right? I've done the math because, I mean, this house, yes, it's $73 million. That's Kiwi dollars. But US, it was $73 million. That's Kiwi dollars. But US, it was $47 million. Okay. So I've done the math on how much of a percent that is of the amount he's won.
Starting point is 00:31:30 Five. Right? It's not even five. Right. So the $47 million as a percent of the lump sum that he received, it's only about 2.5% of his total winnings. Oh, chump change. Should have got two.
Starting point is 00:31:44 That's a good deal, if you ask me. Yeah. But I mean, if he keeps going, just starts buying more and more. Yeah. Because houses like that take so much money for the upkeep. He won't be voting for the Greens. I can guarantee that. No, he's got a helipad
Starting point is 00:31:59 on one of his houses. Bree and Clint. Time to play some Google down. Do you feel lucky? Well, do ya? It's time. Bree and Clint. Time to play some Google Down. Do you feel lucky? Well, do you? It's time for Bree and Clint's Google Down. Punk. Here we go.
Starting point is 00:32:17 It's where we can find out who is the best Googler in the team or who is the fastest, rather. I put these exact questions into Google and I'm looking for the first person to yell out the correct answer. First one to do that three times wins the game and some KFC for the person they're playing for at home. I'm going to do it. I'm going to chat GPT this round. Are you? And I know
Starting point is 00:32:35 it's not going to give you... It's risky. Because the correct answer is the top answer on Google. The correct answer is not always the correct answer. It's true. But I'm going to trust that it's going to cross over. I'm just going to try it. Okay. I'm using ChatGPT within Snapchat.
Starting point is 00:32:51 Right. Well, we'll see how this turns out. Okay, you laugh. I'm not laughing. Who's going to be laughing later? I was all ears until you said Snapchat. It's the same thing. It's the same thing. Alright, question number one. How many different alphabets are there? How many different alphabets?
Starting point is 00:33:12 20, no. More than 370? 26. Oh. So to give you the amount of letters in the alphabet. Yeah, so there are 26 alphabets in the English language. One. One.
Starting point is 00:33:30 There's more than one. No, that's my answer. None of you are correct so far, so I'm going to put you all back on the table. The exact question I put in it is how many different alphabets are there? I don't know. Clint's regretting everything I can tell GPT is not handling this
Starting point is 00:33:47 Claudia it's I have no idea The answer I'm going to say I'm cancelling this question The answer I was looking for was 100 to 150 What the heck did you google Oh I just got that answer 100 to 150 No one gets the points there
Starting point is 00:34:04 Too messy. We'll move on. Question number two. At what age did Houdini, the magician, die? At what age? That's right. Damn, that was quick. It was very quick.
Starting point is 00:34:19 This just in from ChatGPT. Houdini died at 52. So I've got it right, at least. Right, one to Claudia. How did you even figure out how to spell Houdini died at 52. So I've got right, at least. Right, 1 to Claudia. How did you even figure out how to spell Houdini that fast? Yeah, that's where I went wrong. You guys don't know how to spell Houdini? Very impressive. 1 to Claudia. Question number 3.
Starting point is 00:34:35 How many white rhinos are left in the world? 1. Clint is out. 1,800. What? 15,902. Ella, I'm giving you the point. 15,942 is out. 1,800. What? 15,902. Ella, I'm giving you the point. 15,942 is correct. Yay! One.
Starting point is 00:34:51 That's not that many. They are endangered. What's the one that died? What's that one? And the only breeding partner died? Black rhino? Possibly. Could be.
Starting point is 00:35:00 Was it a white tiger? No, it was definitely a rhino. Okay. One to Ella, one to Claudia. We move on to question number was definitely a rhino. Okay. One to Ella, one to Claudia. We move on to question number four. Black rhino. What is Rihanna's net worth?
Starting point is 00:35:14 $1.4 billion. Ella, too messy. I'm going to give it to Claudia. $1.7 billion. Chatbeat GT is not bringing up the same answers. $1.4 billion US dollars was the answer I was looking for. ChatGPT said, Rihanna's net worth is estimated to be $1.7 billion. She's incredibly successful.
Starting point is 00:35:35 Cash emoji. They're getting opinions now. Were they doing it in US dollars or New Zealand maybe? I don't know, but the correct answer is the top answer on Google. Two to Claude, one to Ella, zero to Clint and chat GPT so far. Question number five. What year did the movie What Women Want come out? 2000.
Starting point is 00:35:58 Claudia has taken this game and she's run with it. That is correct. The year 2000, which means you were playing for Murtaza. Murtaza? Yes. Oh, that's awesome, Claudia. Nice work. $50 to spend at KFC.
Starting point is 00:36:15 Well done. This just in from ChatGPT. What Women Want was released in the year 2000. It is a fun movie. Oh, yay. Thanks, ChatGPT. Yeah, I mean, it is a fun movie. Oh, yay. Thanks, Chat Chat. Yeah, I mean, it is a fun movie. Claudia takes it out for, I think that's three weeks in a row.
Starting point is 00:36:30 Oh, at least. But I don't like to brag. Oh, at least. But I don't like to brag. Google down as my Roman Empire. Bree and Clint. Bree and Clint. All I want for my birthday is a birthday banger.
Starting point is 00:36:44 Your birthday banger is for Hump Day, the number one song on your 16th birthday. We'll figure it out and then we're going to play our favourite one. Catherine has called us on 0800 dials at him. Hi, Catherine. Hi, Catherine. Hey, how are you? I'm good. Happy birthday for today.
Starting point is 00:37:01 Thank you. That's bloody exciting. Have you had a good day so far? Yeah, definitely. Went over to Auckland because I live in Waiheke, so went over to Auckland for a high tea with one of my best friends. I love that. A bit of shopping and just heading on home now. Isn't that funny? We would usually

I'm going to Wellington tomorrow to go to WOW, to go to World of Marvel Art Festival. Oh my God, you're there in dreams. Hey Catherine, can I just vicariously live through you for a second?

Starting point is 00:37:57 44, okay. We can work the rest out. That means you were born in 1979, which means you were 16 in 95. And, Catherine, this is your birthday banger. Thank you. Banger. Oh, Catherine, it's a great one from TLC. I know, it's a perfect song.
Starting point is 00:38:19 Yeah. One of the headliners of Friday's last year who got struck down with COVID the day of the show. Yeah. Oh, no. That was devastating. Gutted. Okay, wait there, Catherine. We're going to do a birthday banger for Ashley.
Starting point is 00:38:29 G'day, Ash. Hi, Ash. Hi. Happy birthday to you too, Ash. Soon, soon. Soon. Okay, not yet, but I just thought I'd, you know, say it just in case.
Starting point is 00:38:40 Well, you're just trying your luck. I was just, you never know. There's a one in 365 chance that you'll get it right. That's true. That's not bad odds. Hey, Ash. Is it not bad odds? Well, you play the lotto.
Starting point is 00:38:51 It's pretty bad. Touche. Got him. Hey, Ash, what is your birthday? 13-10-83. Okay, so happy birthday for next month. You were 16 in 1999, Ash. And on your 16th birthday, this was number one.
Starting point is 00:39:18 It's Club 7. Bring it all back. Are you into it, Ash? I'm more of a waterfall girl, but yeah, I'll take it. Ash is like, I'll share Catherine's. Are you American, Ash? Canadian. Canadian.
Starting point is 00:39:32 And Catherine. Did S Club make it big in Canada? Yeah, definitely. Yeah, okay. I think they were globally. Did they quack America? Yeah. Did they?
Starting point is 00:39:42 A hundred percent, I reckon. All right, okay. Like, I'm not saying like a bunch of albums, but at least three or four songs did. All right. Yeah. One more for Ebby, who's going to do it for her mum, Barb. G'day, Ebby.
Starting point is 00:39:54 Hi, Ebby. Hi. Hi. You're going to do your mum's birthday banger? Yep. Okay, perfect. I need your mum's birthday. 14th of March, 1971.
Starting point is 00:40:05 All right, that means your mum was 16 in 1987, and on her 16th birthday, this was number one. Oh, we're halfway there. Oh, living on a brown sugar. Oh, it's Bon Jovi, Abby. Does your mum like it? It's good. Yeah, it's really good., Abby. Does your mum like it? Yeah, that's really good.
Starting point is 00:40:26 So this came out in 87. Came out in 87. And Abby, do you know who Millie Bobby Brown is? Yes. You know she is getting married to his son. John Bon Jovi's son. Yeah. Really?
Starting point is 00:40:39 Yeah. I just did the math. And 1987 this song came out. This would have been on the radio while my mum was breastfeeding me. Makes sense. Oh, we're halfway there. Oh, hanging on my tit. I love the S Club 7 song, but it's got to go to Catherine for her birthday.
Starting point is 00:41:00 Got to go to Catherine for her birthday. Yay. Well done, Cat. You have fun at the World of Wearable Arts. Thanks for listening to Zedium. Thanks for playing birthday banger with us. Thank you. Have a great rest of your night and happy 44th. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:41:14 Are you going to have a wine on the ferry on the way back? Oh, I already had a gin and tonic. Oh, there she is. Love her. Wait, are you calling us from Waiheke Island? I've just got back, yeah. Oh, lavish. Wow. God, technology these days.

Starting point is 00:41:54 from TLC Waterfalls from 1995 for Catherine whose birthday is today who's listing all the way on Waiheke Island yeah apparently
Starting point is 00:42:02 she's got her own satellite and that's why we can you know get, get her on her telly device. If you get to be on Waiheke Island, why have we not been to Waiheke Island to do more things? We tried that one time, remember? Broadcasting from Waiheke Island. We tried to do that thing where we were like, yeah, we'll broadcast from there for a week and we just stay there.
Starting point is 00:42:22 It's like the Ibiza of New Zealand. Oh, it's lovely over there. It's delightful. It's such a good time. We'll try again. We'll ask again. We'll ask the question. If anyone's listening. We should have quarantined over there for COVID. Oh, see, that's a great idea. We should have just relocated and stayed there.
Starting point is 00:42:37 If there's a zombie apocalypse, that's the first place I'm going. Is it? Yeah, because zombies can't swim. And they don't like wine. And they hate wine. Yeah. And so I just, you know, get rid of all the zombies that's on the island and then you're safe. Easy.
Starting point is 00:42:50 Yeah, and then you've got a heap of wine over there, you're good to go. Love it. Hey, the thing that's taking over the internet for the past couple of weeks is these TikToks and the social media trend of asking your partner, how many times have you thought about the Roman Empire this week? Yeah. And turns out men think about it quite a lot. Turns out we're obsessed with the Roman Empire.
Starting point is 00:43:15 It got me thinking. We've got some audio here. If you haven't heard this trend, you would have. But here's some audio of someone asking their partner. How many times, like a week, or just how many times in general, do you think about the Roman Empire? Maybe three or four times a month. How often do you think about the Roman Empire?
Starting point is 00:43:36 Every couple of days. Are you kidding me? About once a week. My favourite part of the trend is whatever the men answer, the girls go What? Really? He's like, maybe two or three times a year
Starting point is 00:43:50 What? Because if I'm honest, I had never thought about it unless I was watching Gladiator or my recent trip to Europe when I was in Rome Yeah, what it made you think about the Roman Empire I thought about the Roman Empire because I was learning more about it. But other than that, I can't say I really think about it at all.
Starting point is 00:44:09 I think about aqueducts fairly frequently. Aqueducts? Yeah. That's random? No, they're incredible systems. As in like the car that goes from land to water? No, not an aqueduct. Jesus Christ.
Starting point is 00:44:23 An aqueduct that the Romans invented the way that they got water down the hill into the township. How they got water to houses before indoor plumbing. I don't even know what that is. Aqueduct. I mean, I think about the aqueduct quite often. Remember when we went on it at the Gold Coast? It was great.
Starting point is 00:44:40 Nothing to do with the Roman Empire, but it was great. No, nothing to do with it. It got me... I was like, why are you bringing up the aqueduct right now? It's real random of you. Very good. Look, generally, if we're speaking generally, that's a straight man thing from what I've picked up from the trend.
Starting point is 00:44:56 Yeah. A straight man thing. I think it's even narrower than that. I think it's largely a straight white man thing. You reckon? Yeah. But it's like in that vein of. Yeah, I saw the masking summation guys about it. They're like, I can never think about Roman Empire. Don't think about that. I think it's largely a straight white man thing. You reckon? Yeah. But it's like in that vein of... Yeah, I saw them asking some Asian guys about it and they're like
Starting point is 00:45:07 I never think about Roman Empire. Don't think about that. That's generalising again. Yeah. I saw a Polynesian TikToker who goes, I think about Polynesian travellers a lot. Like how, what it would take to leave your island paradise that was filled with food and water
Starting point is 00:45:24 and go and explore the outer reaches of the globe. Go searching. Yeah. That's maybe their Roman Empire. I don't know. I think we need to cast the net wider. I think, you know, that's great. I'm glad we've learned this about the straight white man's psyche.
Starting point is 00:45:38 That's always good. But I want to know about what about the straight woman? What about the gay man? What about the gay woman? What is their gay man? What about the gay woman? What is their Roman Empire? What is their version of that? My wife said that her Roman Empire is thinking about being kidnapped. Oh, yeah?
Starting point is 00:45:56 She said she thinks about being kidnapped quite frequently. I've seen straight women on TikTok saying that kidnapped is a big one. Yeah. That a lot of straight women think about that. Which was sad to hear. But she's got a plan, which is good to know. Not ideal. I saw somewhere that for, and this might be, you know, just a blanket thing for all gay people,
Starting point is 00:46:16 is Lady Gaga is a big thing that we think about a lot of the time. Lady Gaga is the gay Roman Empire. I mean, yeah. Like, I think about Lady Gaga a lot. I think about her performance of Paparazzi at the VMAs. That's your Roman Empire. I think about the meat dress. I think about, I mean, there's lots of
Starting point is 00:46:34 stuff I think about. I text a friend of the show, Maddie McLean, before today's show, and I said, as a gay man, what is your Roman Empire? And he replied instantly with Madonna and Britney kissing at the MTV VMAs. Yeah, right. To him, that is the gay man's Roman Empire.
Starting point is 00:46:52 Yeah. I replied with, same, actually. Well, there we go. There's a flaw in that. I think for me at the moment, my Roman Empire is gay law. What's gay law? Oh, the Taylor Swift gay theory. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:47:08 Where she's dated Diana Agron or she's dated Karlie Kloss. I think about it a lot. It comes up on my TikTok feed, so I know that I'm obviously thinking about it. Seems like wishful thinking to me. Well, could be. Maybe not. Let's put it out there. Let's ask, what's a gay man's Roman Empire?
Starting point is 00:47:23 What is a gay woman's Roman Empire? What is a gay woman's Roman Empire? What is, I don't know, we're asked to be separate. What's the boomer's Roman Empire? Yeah, what's your community? What do you identify as? Who do you represent? Yeah, I want to give you guys a voice this afternoon. Who are you representing and what is
Starting point is 00:47:40 your Roman Empire? What is the boomer's Roman Empire? It's buying all their investment properties. They're buying investment properties isn't it? Yeah. Yeah, yeah. And capital gains. Yeah. And they think about it a lot. There's a lot to think about because there's so many. And denying climate change.
Starting point is 00:47:56 Like this text message here. The married man's Roman Empire is a threesome. Nah, I would argue that's multiple people's Roman Empire. Like today, thought about it probably. Oh, really? Probably 50 times.
Starting point is 00:48:11 Oh, you need to link up with a couple of married men. I'll pass on that. Georgie's here. Hi, Georgie. Hi, Georgie. Hi. Who's your community first? Who do you represent?
Starting point is 00:48:22 Well, I wouldn't say I represent all of the community, but I'm gay woman. You're gay woman? I'm interested to know, Georgie, as a gay woman, what is your Roman empire? I said women's football. Women's football. 100%. Georgie, what does it do when I say Mackenzie Arnold to you? Oh, jeez, it's sending her into an echo cycle You know, just speechless My entire TikTok feed
Starting point is 00:48:56 Was just full of the Women's World Cup Like it was just It just entranced people Georgie, I think you might represent all gay women Because there's another text here that says, as a giant lesbian, I think about women's football all the time. That and scented candles. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:14 I can do a scented candle. There's another text as well, Georgie. Gay lady here. My Roman Empire is women's FIFA. There you go. You're on the money. God, that World Cup we just had must have been like living inside the Gladiator movie. Oh, it was a good time for a lot of gay women, I think.
Starting point is 00:49:30 Paul's here. Hi, Paul. Yeah, hi. How are you? We're good. Who do you represent? Gay men. Oh, good, Paul.
Starting point is 00:49:36 We're interested to know, as a gay man, what is your Roman Empire? Well, I think a lot about working as a personal assistant for Taylor Swift. I mean, I see where you're coming from. It's a great thing to think about. What do you think about Matty McLean's claim that
Starting point is 00:49:57 the gay man's Roman Empire is Madonna and Britney Spears kissing at the MTV VMAs? Yeah, I mean, Britney was hot back in the day and Madonna, well, she's an icon. Yeah. Paul? Yeah?
Starting point is 00:50:11 What about Lady Gaga performing paparazzi at the VMAs? Oh, well, Lady Gaga, she's a gay icon. I mean, she is our Roman Empire, Paul. She's a gay gladiator. She is. She's gay Caesar. She is. Thanks, Paul. She's a gay gladiator. She is. She's gay Caesar. Thanks, Paul. Someone texted in, they said, I'm a gamer.
Starting point is 00:50:28 Our Roman Empire would be Skyrim. Oh, yeah, Skyrim, great game. Someone else texted through, I'm a gay Māori man and my Roman Empire is the music industry and listening to Brian Clint. You just say nice things to us. And we love you. We appreciate you.
Starting point is 00:50:44 Someone else said, straight girls, Roman Empire is Gossip Girl. Really? Gossip Girl was big. OG Gossip Girl. Probably the OG Gossip Girl. Was the remake any good? Did anybody watch the remake?
Starting point is 00:50:56 No. Someone said, I reckon the straight woman's Roman Empire is thinking about our old best friend. Ex-best friends, yeah. I swear everyone I talk to has agreed that they think about their ex-best friend constantly. I think about stuff like that quite often too.
Starting point is 00:51:11 Do you? Yeah. I just wonder where they are and what they're up to. I don't think I have an ex-best friend. Sometimes I'll go on social media just to check in. As a straight white millennial female, my Roman Empire is the end of the world slash the end of civil civilization as we know it.
Starting point is 00:51:27 Oh, see, I think about that a lot too. Yeah. Like zombie apocalypse. You do. I do. Like I think about that all the time. I appreciate the person who texted through and said, honestly, Bree is my Roman Empire at the moment. I'll take that and run with it.
Starting point is 00:51:41 Really? Yeah. I want to know how often they think about you. Yeah, I want to know too. How often is it? Is it every day? And what are you doing when you're thinking about them? And is it because you hear her when you get in the car?
Starting point is 00:51:51 And if it is, how come you didn't write my name as well? Because when you hear her, you hear me. So how come I'm not part of your Roman Empire? You know, where's the... Did anyone text Clint? Sometimes, you know, if you know anything about the Roman Empire, there was only one winner. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:09 It was the Roman army. Right, okay. I have no idea how that relates, but... No, neither do I. Neither. Okay. Bree and Clint. I know I'm the last person in the country,
Starting point is 00:52:18 but I saw the Barbie movie on the weekend. Welcome to the party. Yeah. Better late than never. Well, I didn't get a chance to go to the movies, and now you can watch it on Apple TV for $30. $30. Mate, it's a small price to pay.
Starting point is 00:52:32 It's not a small price to pay. Renting a DVD used to be $9 to rent a new release. I mean, you know, but how much enjoyment did you get out of it? No, I couldn't stop thinking about the $30 the whole time. It really overshadowed what a great movie it was, and it was a great movie. Okay. Well, I'm glad you've thinking about the $30 the whole time. It really overshadowed what a great movie it was. And it was a great movie. Okay. Well, I'm glad you've seen it.
Starting point is 00:52:48 $30! Two days! Anyway, sorry. Oh, you should have splurged and got the... Yeah, $35 and I could have owned it. What? See? Why don't you just...
Starting point is 00:52:57 Because it's going to be free to watch on bloody Netflix in six months. Yeah, but then they take it off and on. Anyway, look, there's a list that's been announced and New Zealand's on the list, so we have to talk about it. Okay. It's just standard. This list is the most mispronounced beaches from around the world. Got it. Okay. Interestingly say, what do you think, like, because you're, like, obviously you're going through in your mind now, you're thinking about all the
Starting point is 00:53:25 New Zealand beaches. Yeah, I know what it is. What is the mispronounced beach that has made this list? It's the beautiful Coromandel Township of Wonga Matar. People who refer to it as Wonga Matar. It's Funga Matar. But it's not on the list.
Starting point is 00:53:41 Ah. Not on the list, but I could see how that could make the list. I'll give you one more guess. Rio de Janeiro. No, a beach here in New Zealand. Mount Maunganui. No, hasn't made the list. Now, hopefully, I mean, I'd never heard of this beach before,
Starting point is 00:54:05 so I'm going to give it a go. Yeah. Paru Paru Umu? Oh, Paru Paru Umu, yeah. Paru Paru Umu. Yeah, or Pram, as people in the area call it. Pram? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:14 Why do they call it Pram? Because people can't say Paru Paru Umu. Gotcha. Well, it was number 14 on the most mispronounced beaches list. Pram or Para? Para. Yeah. Para.
Starting point is 00:54:25 Para. Bondi Beach was on Parra. Parra. Yeah. Parra. Parra. Bondi Beach was on here too. People say Bondi. Oh, right. Would they? Would tourists call it Bondi Beach? Well, that's the only way it would be mispronounced. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:36 The number one beach. Oh, no, there was another New Zealand beach that was on here actually. Yeah. Bethel's Beach. How do you mispronounce Bethel's Beach? Bethel's? Bethel's Beach. How do you mispronounce Bethel's Beach? Bethel's? Bethel's? Is it?
Starting point is 00:54:49 How would you mispronounce that beach? Yeah. Some of the Aussie beaches that made the list. Vaucluse Bay. Vaucluse Bay made the list. I can see one of my children at Bethel's Beach. What? What?
Starting point is 00:55:03 Sorry, carry on. Don't worry about it. No, I want to know the joke. No, I said it once. I'm not saying about it. No, I want to know the joke. No, I said it once. I'm not saying it again. No, I want to know the joke. No, I share a personal piece of information. You weren't listening, so we're moving on.
Starting point is 00:55:10 You? Conceived one of my children. Oh, I thought you said both. No. Oh, there you go. Was on that camp stay? Yeah. Oh, that little outdoor camp stay.
Starting point is 00:55:20 Yeah, yeah. I've heard that story before. The most mispronounced beach in the world in 2021 is Perigian Beach, which is in Australia. How are you meant to say it? It's Perigian Beach. How do people say it? I don't know, but how would you say that?
Starting point is 00:55:38 Perigian. Perigian Beach. I'd say Perigian. Yeah, but you've heard me say it now. You've heard me say it. Anyway, we've made the list. Yeah, shout out to us. Well done.
