Please welcome to the show, Dion.
Hello?
G'day, mate.
You drove all the way from Christchurch this morning.
From last night to this morning, yep.
So you caught me at the end of it.
Mate, do you reckon that's going to hinder your performance here this afternoon?
It's likely.
Well, you can use it as an excuse if it does and boast about it if you win.
All right, let's see who you'll be taking on this afternoon.
Our lady, she's from Invercargill.
She's 27.
She loves rum and cleaning her house.
Please welcome to the show Siobhan.
G'day, mate.
Hello.
Mate, what do you like more, the rum or cleaning?
Both.
Definitely the rum.
Definitely the rum.
Hey, good to have you guys on the show.
Here are the rules.
Your buzzer is Lady Siobhan and your buzzer is Tradey Dion.
Buzz in when you think you know the answer.
First to get three correct will take home the 50 bucks, thanks to KFC.
Are we ready to play?
Yep.
Here we go, guys.
Question number one.
How many lives are cats said to have?
Tradie.
I'm going to say Dion just got in there.
Nine.
That is correct.
It is nine.
One to the tradies.
Question number two. What type
of alcohol is typically
used in a margarita?
Tradie. I'm going to say Siobhan.
I'll give that one to you because it was a dead
heat again.
Tequila. It is
tequila, not rum,
which you're disappointed about, aren't you, Siobhan?
Alright. We all won a piece. This is going to be a good game. Question number three. Tequila, not rum, which you're disappointed about, aren't you, Siobhan? All right.
We all want a piece.
This is going to be a good game.
Question number three.
Buzz in when you can tell me who sings this song.
Lady.
Siobhan is in.
Oh, Lord.
I mean, worth a guess, but it isn't Lord.
Dion, you want to guess?
I have no idea.
Sia.
I mean, worth a shot.
It isn't Sia.

What is a supernova?
A tradie.
Yes, Dion, for the win.
A star slash sun.

Thank you.
Thanks, guys.
Bree and Clint.
Clint away sick, but it will not stop.
One of the biggest races that's about to go down this year
between Claude, Ella and myself, the 100 metre dash.
One of our podcast listeners has requested it.
The girls are very excited, aren't you girls?
I thought I managed to finish my sprint career in high school.
I never thought it would come back to haunt me.
And on camera, no less.
Apparently people are asking your partner about what the odds are.
Yeah, people are talking about it.
And people are putting bets in on who's going to win.
I heard people are coming down to Vic Park this Friday.
No, no, thank you.
No.
Well, we need to give the people what they want.
And people have been asking if we're going to be making bets
on this race.
It's a three-horse race.
We need all the stats, the numbers, the figures of the horses.
So what we've done is we have gathered those for you.
We've done some research just to see who's going to, you know,
who's naturally a sprinter.
Yeah. Yeah. Who's got
the body of a sprinter. According to the
numbers. Yeah. Scientifically.
Okay, who's up first? Okay, coming in
at 165.5
centimetres tall with a
heel to hip of 97
centimetres.
We have Ella.
Not even
a heel to hip of a metre.
But that's all right.
That's such a good point.
Some sprinters are quite short, you know?
They are, and that might be me.
I might find my calling.
Means you're agile.
I don't know what that means, but yes.
Thank you.
That doesn't bode well for Friday.
She's got the youth on her side too.
Who is up next?
Coming in at 170 centimetres tall with a heel to hip of 105 centimetres,
it's me.
Ooh, that's good.
There's a difference in the heel to hip there, 97 versus 105,
so I've got it, what, 8 centimetres on her?
8 centimetre.
Of distance.
Advantage.
What does that mean?
What does this mean?
Why are we doing?
It means my legs can move further than yours can.
She's got a bigger stride.
Got it.
So I am at a disadvantage.
Yeah.
Just a little one.
Kind of.
But don't let that get you down.
It's not, baby.
Okay.
All right.
Last one.
Coming in at 175 centimetres with a heel to hip of 103, Brianna.
God, she's got short, stubby legs over here, doesn't she?
Yeah, I was shocked.
I had to triple check those numbers because I was like,
there's no way my legs are longer than yours.
Looking at those stats, you have the best stats, the best numbers.
She's a natural born sprinter.
On paper.
But we had to go one step further,
and we have done a little time trial out here in the office.
Inside, we're all
all in our casual attire and what we've done is we've done how long it was about 10 meters down
around a chair 10 meters back we've timed it and here's what it sounded like so am i starting here
okay okay i feel good i feel good i've taken my glasses off because I can't see but they'll fall off. Okay, someone count me down.
I feel good, I feel so good.
I feel so good! I'm so fast!
This is amazing!
I'm going to have to hold my boobs so I don't hurt. Oh, my headlights are on.
Okay.
She's going round the chair.
Oh, she's gone round the chair. Oh, she's gone.
I don't want to see what my face looked like.
That was fast.
It didn't feel fast.
Can you move the chair away from the table a little bit?
I'm not wearing the right bra either.
OK.
OK.
Go. Go.
Zoom, zoom. There it is. The time trial all went down here in the studio.
Phil and producer Liam, you timed all of these
and we've been eagerly awaiting since the race went down
to hear the numbers.
Oh, my gosh.
Who had it on agility over a
20 metre sprint? It's so
close. Like it's scarily close.
Really?
That the distances between each person
is.10
milliseconds. What?
Like.1?
.10. Whoa!
You'll hear, maybe my maths was bad.
So let's start off.
Okay.
Ella, you went first.
Oh, gosh.
I thought I came last.
Okay.
Come on.
Give it to me.
Well, you went first.
Yeah.
We'll figure out at the end.
Yeah.
Your time was seven seconds and 28 milliseconds.
Not bad.
7.28.
Not bad.
7.28.
Well done.
Respectable time.
Well done.
Okay. Who went second? That was me. Brie? Oh.28. Well done. Respectable time. Well done. Who went second?
That was me.
Brie?
Oh, God.
Your time was 7.08.
Oh, my God.
Which does mean you're in the lead at the moment.
At the moment.
But we do have lightning in a bottle, as I've been calling her, Claudia.
So from 2.08 to 0.08.
There's only one number left. There's only one number left.
There's only one number left.
7.18.
Okay.
Wow!
We are close.
We're really close.
3, Claudia, Ella.
Wow.
Damn, that's close.
That's what I expected, I think.
I think I lost a lot of time going around the chair.
I think so too.
So on the straight, unstoppable.
You're all over it.
Well, it all goes
down this friday the hundred meter dash that will stop the nation claudia ella or myself who will
have it be listening out we'll tell you more i saw this interesting clip on tiktok and it was a guy
talking about uh this fella that is going viral around the world at the moment for having this condition where he has really tiny feet
but he's still quite tall.
So his feet size doesn't match his height.
You know what they say about feet?
Big socks?
Big hands.
Big hands.
Well, they do say that this condition also affects the size of your hands.
So they usually say depending on how big your feet are,
it does kind of indicate how big your hands are.
But take a listen to this clip talking about this fellow with this condition.
This is a photo of a 6'2 man with a shoe size of just size 2.
Generally speaking, your shoe size is proportional to your height,
but it didn't happen in this situation.
And although he got taller during puberty, his hands and feet stayed the same size.
And this makes it very problematic
for him to find dress shoes
and the length of his foot is roughly eight inches.
And what's really interesting
is that having smaller feet
also tends to influence your balance
and your body has to compensate.
And for him, he looks like he has bigger calf muscles
in order to balance his body.
So did he just say this guy's 6'2
and he's got size two feet?
That does not match up to me.
Like.
No.
No, not at all.
That's a bit cooked.
That's very, like, because a 6'2 male,
I generally would think they would have like a size 11.
11, 12, 13.
11, 12, 13 size foot.
Let's do a bit of around the room.
Producers, Claude, how tall are you and what's your shoe size?
I'm 5'8", 170
centimetres-ish, and I'm a women's 9.
You've got big horse, don't you?
I do, and I feel like my feet grew
before my body did, so I had little flippers
as a kid. Cutie. You would have been a good swimmer.
I was terrible somehow.
Kick, Claudia, kick.
What about you, Ella? You've got pretty tiny
tootsies, don't you?
Thank you.
What am I, size 7?
Size 37, so I think that's a 7.
And then I'm 165 in height.
Okay.
That sounds about right.
Sounds about right.
Yeah, proportionate.
Thank you.
What about you, Liam?
I am 5'11", 6 foot on Tinder, but I have size...
I reckon we measure him
he says he's 5'11
but I have size
11 feet
okay
whoa
so a bit bigger
that's not that big
that's just normal
I reckon for a
for a male
size 11
nah
I reckon it's
quite a decent size
hoof
yeah
I'm about
5'10 5'11 on a good day and I'm a bigger size. Quite a decent size hoof. Yeah. I'm about 5'10", 5'11", on a good day.
And I'm about a size 10 women.
So that's about right.
Yeah.
That's about spot on, I think.
Yeah, that's my sister.
I thought we could do a bit of an experiment this afternoon.
And I want to get people to call.
You will know if this is you because you would have been told before
that your foot size doesn't match how tall you are.
And I want to go either way.
Like either you're really small and you've got massive feet
or you're really short and you're really tall and you've got tiny feet.
So you're either over normal or you're a hobbit.
Yeah.
Either way, your foot size doesn't match how tall you are. Tiny feet. So you're either over normal or you're a hobbit. Yeah. Because like.
Either way, your foot size doesn't match how tall you are.
Bree and Clint. I do know, because we're talking about a foot size to height ratio.
I do know Clint is about 6'2", and I think he's a size 11 or 12.
So that is about right.
Pretty normal.
Checks out.
There's a guy being talked about on TikTok at the moment who is 6'2
and is a size 2 shoe.
That's not normal.
He does have some sort of condition where apparently his hands
and feet didn't grow from puberty,
so he's got incredibly small feet for how tall he is.
I reckon if he joins the producer's running race,
he might be able to beat Ella.
I think, yeah.
No, I think Ella would have it on him.
I think he would tip over.
His balance wouldn't be very good.
I think I'd whip his ass.
I like that confidence.
Delusional, but you know.
You take that confidence going into Friday.
Thank you.
We've asked you guys on 0800DIALZM,
does your foot size not match your height?
And Caitlin has called through.
G'day, Caitlin.
Hi.
Is this you, Caitlin?
Does your foot size not match how tall you are?
A little bit, yeah.
Okay, well, let's go with how tall are you at the moment, Caitlin?
So I'm 167 and I'm only 13.
Holy smokes.
You're tall for 13, Caitlin.
Have you been told that?
Yeah, well, I have a dad who's 6'4", so.
Okay, so you do have it in the genes that you're going to be quite tall.
So you're about, so wait, what did you say, 167?
Yeah, centimetres. 167 in feet is,
do we know how tall that is in feet? I don't know why. Five foot five, five foot six. And how big are your feet right now, Kaylin? I'm size nine inches. Holy Toledo, you're going to be pretty tall. Are you hoping to be tall? Yes, I don't
plan on being the short one in the friend group. That's kind of up to my friends. How
short is the short one in the friend group? She's about, oh, she's shrinking currently
because she has a massive school bag.
Yeah, you've got to watch out for those big school bags.
They'll stunt your growth.
Well, Caitlin, I think you're safe, mate.
She's got 140.
Oh, yeah, you're safe.
You're home and hose.
Thanks for calling through, Caitlin.
She's going to be in the national basketball team sooner than we know it.
Let's talk to Catherine on 0800 dials at M.
G'day, Catherine.
Hello, Kia ora.
Kia ora.
Is this you, mate?
Does your foot size not match how tall you are?
Yeah, absolutely.
Okay, so give us your height first.
How tall are you?
I'm 164 centimetres or 5 foot 3, so I'm short.
Okay, 5 foot 3, not all that tall.
I would say... I'm going small feet, yeah.
I'm going a size 4.
Yeah, no, 5 foot 3, I'd say, yeah, it's about a size 6,
I reckon, like you would normally be.
But what size are your feet?
Woman's 10.
You're the same size foot as me, Catherine.
Yeah.
Do people look at you strange when you go to buy shoes
and you're like, I'm a size 10?
Probably, and it's even worse because I have really wide feet.
Oh, me too.
I'm fairly on that.
It's hard to find size 10, isn't it?
It is, yep.
I feel like they don't make many of them and then other people go in
and buy them so there's none left usually.
Oh, well, Caitlin, good luck with those flippers.
We'll see you later.
Bye, Catherine.
Let's talk to one more person.
Amanda's called through.
G'day, Amanda.
Hey, how's it going?
Good, thank you.
Tell us, mate, how tall are you?
I'm 147 centimetres, so 4 foot 9.
4 foot 9?
Shorty.
Yeah.
And you're full grown?
Yep.
4 foot 9?
You're a little shorty.
And what are your feet size, Amanda?
I'm a woman size 9.
You're kidding.
No.
You've just been the last call, haven't you?
You've blown my mind.
Did you think when you were young, like when your feet obviously got to a size nine,
you were like, oh, I'm going to grow way taller?
I was hoping so, but all the women in my family are really short.
Do they have big feet as well?
No, not really.
Just you.
You're the lucky one, Amanda.
Yep.
Oh, well, you're kind of unlucky because the good part about having small feet
is you can buy shoes from the kids' section.
Yeah, true.
But small, big feet, great swimming.
Yeah.
Are you a good swimmer?
I am, actually, yeah.
Oh, well, that's a plus.
That's great news.
I'm also very clumsy, so at least I'm low to the ground.
You've got a great sense of humour, Amanda.
Thanks for calling through, babe.
Great, thank you.
See, a lot of people texting through on this.
165 centimetres and I'm a 10 to 11.
Everyone said I'd be tall, but I'm 36 now.
I think she's full grown or he's full grown.
Someone else said, my son is
eight. He's 95 kilos,
five foot in height, size
nine, men's shoe.
Somebody just called their son a hobbit.
That was my favourite.
No other comment, just my son's a hobbit.
My son, I wonder how big his feet is.
Bree and Clint.
Still time to get classical.
Classical. It time to get classical. Classical.
It's an easy game for some, definitely not for me,
where we go head to head trying to guess songs
that have been turned classical by producer Claude.
Hello, Claude.
Hello, everyone.
Yeah, this is fun.
We'll see how we go.
We've got Liam on the show today.
He's been pushing all the buttons for us.
It's his first time playing.
You've played along in the car though, right?
I'm in the car.
I'm feeling confident.
I just feel like this game was made for me.
Someone on the text machine said,
Button Man talks a big game.
I'm here for it.
I love it.
I want him or her to be my person.
Well, we're about to find out who's going to take it out.
Me, Ella or Liam.
I'll go over the rules very briefly.
So I'm going to play a song.
It is a pop song turned classical.
You need to buzz in with your name and I will be asking you for the artist name and the name of the song.
No umming and ahhing once you buzz in.
No humming.
Yeah.
You can hum while it's playing.
It gets very competitive.
So the rules are very strict.
As you've probably heard, Liam, we get absolutely rabid about this game.
So you can't buzz in and then hum.
Or buzz in and go, oh, wait, wait, I know it, I know it.
But also, as the director of this game, my rules are final.
What I say is final.
Claude is the adjudicator.
Ella will argue it, but you only need to listen to me.
Anyway.
Oh, I will not.
Okay, we're ready.
As with your name, artist and song title, here is your first song.
Good luck, everyone.
Oh, Ella.
Damn it.
No.
That is Poker Face, Lady Gaga.
You got it.
I can't read my mind.
I can't read my mind.
I can't read a mind.
I just.
She's got me like nobody.
That was in my wheelhouse.
That was very good from you.
It was in my wheelhouse.
That was the hard part too.
I knew it in the first second.
I just thought, you know.
No, you didn't.
These guys get it every time.
Okay, one point for free.
Another one?
Yep.
Here we go.
Oh, yep.
Ella!
Party in the USA, Miley Cyrus!
Yes, yes, yes!
Oh, my.
Oh!
That was good.
I feel like we all kind of got it at the exact same time.
Liam, you still here?
Yeah.
You still here?
It's a little bit harder, isn't it?
I'm just all about you, the girls.
You're so nice.
There's a big, big comeback.
Bigger than the Warriors.
We'll see.
Okay, there's one song left, so we'll see how you guys go.
Here it is.
Oh.
Oh.
Ella.
Ella.
Liam, Liam.
Liam, Liam, there's a pause.
That is a pause. I know, I know.
That's a pause.
Liam.
Got to go to Liam.
Murder on the dance floor.
Bye.
Oh, um.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh, no, Liam!
So the other's back!
No!
Did you feel that?
That was close.
Liam's butthole
pucking up so tight.
Oh, that was so good.
Well done.
So we're tied?
Yeah, so we're tied.
I reckon what I'll do, I'm going to go through the text,
find the funniest one and give them some KFC chicken dollars.
All right.
Oh, that wasn't satisfying.
As we said, Claude is the adjudicator.
Her word is final.
Bree and Clint.
Maths New Zealand has kicked off.
A couple episodes playing out this week.
I tuned in.
I gave it a watch.
It's been quite a few years since New Zealand has had a married at first sight.
So I tuned in.
There's four couples.
And on the episode that I watched last night, one of the couples met for the very first time.
And one of the guys was the one, he looks like a Viking.
Like that's the only way to describe him.
He looks like a Viking.
He's got this beard but then it's kind of like got a helmet kind
of haircut on the beard.
Like it's a real straight cut along the bottom.
He's straightening it every day.
Yeah, he's taking good care of it.
It is a look.
And he's a lovely guy.
He seems like he could be one of the most caring guys on the show.
So far.
You know what maths is like.
They build you up.
Look, I'm not saying that he's not,
but I'm just saying I know what that show's like.
And it was interesting to see
because the woman that got matched up with him,
I don't think she was a fan of the beard.
I said facial hair
didn't bother me.
I might need to change my hair.
Am I somebody you think
outside of this she would date? To be completely
honest, you're not
her normal type.
Here's me saying I'm not worried about
facial hair. I know.
And the beard threw me for sex.
I don't know. I don't know why
I wasn't expecting it.
That's my worst nightmare, to go on that show,
be matched up with someone,
and you see them, and you're like,
oh no, I'm not attracted
to them. But I mean, that can grow.
You can be, you know,
but if it's not there
initially, sometimes it doesn't always work
out. So it is, the beard, I think, threw her, like she said.
I think a lot of it threw her.
I think because she went into the show.
I watched her like behind the scenes.
She'd been on TikTok heaps.
Did you say you watch behind the scenes?
God, you are invested.
Button and Liam.
He's like, I went on to everyone's TikTok and then found their Instagrams
and then I looked up all their families' names and went and had a look at them.
Look, I slid into all the DMs and said, guys, if it doesn't work out, I'm here.
Jeez.
That's one way to approach people.
Has anyone here, because essentially it's a blind date.
The show is kind of like going on a blind date because you don't know who the person
is going to be, what they're about,
what they look like. You're going
in blind. The difference with this one is
you just can't run to the bathroom and then disappear out the back
door. You have to. For like six
weeks. And you have to live with them, sleep
in the same bed and spend every waking
moment with them. So it's like a
long, terrifying
blind date. I've never been on a
blind date, but I've heard so
many horror stories
about like matching with someone on Tinder
and then it's just a different person that
arrives on the day. I was going to say, because that's not technically
a blind date or it shouldn't be.
It ends up being one. Yeah, well
if they've lied about their profile and stuff.
Producers, have you ever been on a blind
date?
Is that something that you guys have done?
I have.
I saw this hot guy in a car and he was playing Harry Styles.
Wait, what?
I've never heard this story.
No, literally, yeah, in uni.
And I was like, what?
And my friend was like, here's her number.
And then we put it on this uni page on Facebook.
Long story short, we did go on a date.
And it was awful because he just talked about politics the whole time.
And it went over my head.
And I was like, you're not.
No.
And then I, like, called it off.
And he was like, you've ruined Harry Styles for me.
So red flag. You're powerful.
That's all it.
Good story.
Good story.
God.
Mate, I'm so glad you're engaged because look out everyone else.
If that's how you're picking up dudes, no one is safe.
Good story.
You know, if it worked out, hilarious.
But no.
That is quite funny.
What about you, Claude?
Nah, never been on a blind date.
And I don't think I would.
Like, unless it was set up by a friend and they could tell me in advance some stuff about them.
And they knew we would at least get along.
Interests or maybe hobbies.
I just don't think it's for me.
I'm not really a people person, you know.
You?
No.
What are you talking about?
Shut up.
What are you talking about, Claude?
I have been on, maybe I've been on more.
But in this story, I do sound like, like I'm a bad person,
but can I just preface this with, I was in my early twenties and a friend of mine said,
Hey, I'd love to set you up with this friend of mine. And I asked her some questions. I was like,
what's he like? And she's like, nah, I'm not going to tell you anything. And I'm not going
to tell him anything. It's a blind date. And I date and I was like I don't know if I like this and I've kind of turned
up to the date and he was pretty rude and not really my type but he had a really high-pitched
voice and that sounds like really horrible but I just couldn't get past it and I think it's because
he was rude as well and I was just kind of I felt like I was on a date with Alvin from the chipmunks it was really like
like like strangely high I was like I've got a deeper voice than you you're like good day mate
he was probably
thinking the same thing about me. God, this
Sheila's voice is deep. I'm gonna get out of
here. I thought we could throw it out
there on 0800 dials at M or you
can text us on 9696.
What is your blind date horror story?
Like, where have you been?
Who was there? Maybe they
looked nothing like their photos. Maybe
you had actually dated their
sister or brother before and you didn't realise it till you got on the date. We'd love to hear
from you. We're talking about horror blind dates. One of the brides from Maths has seen her match.
It's the guy with the Viking beard. He looks like he should be on that show Vikings. That's what he
looks like. He's just not her type, is he?
Yeah, you could tell straight away she was a bit taken back.
And we want to know from you guys, has this happened to you?
Been set up on a blind date and you turned up
and it was just a horror nightmare story.
Emily on 0800 dials it in.
Hello, mate.
Hi.
Hi, how are you?
Good, thank you.
Has this happened to you horror blind date um yes i
matched with a guy on tinder and we finally got around to like meeting up um so we went to his
place for like a couple drinks and we were talking about like what do you do for work i was like oh
i'm a merchandiser for eggs on shelves and then he was like oh i'm a graphic designer i was like oh
cool um that's a cool job.
Oh, no.
Oh!
What? Begging on how she looked, how she worked, all kinds of stuff.
Like, we didn't get along at the time, but that's kind of not the point.
No.
Like, now we get along fine.
I was like, what the hell?
Oh, my God.
That sounds absolutely horrific.
Why would you badmouth someone's sister to them?
Yeah.
Like I said, I mean, I don't really get along.
And then he just, like, went into the tirade. Emily, did you make him pay at least? You didn't have
to fork out any money for that one, did you? Nope. Love it. I didn't.
Hope you got a few extra expensive cocktails in there as well. No, we literally
just watched a movie at his place and had a couple drinks.
Oh. Yeah, now I'm going home. Bye.
He kept snatching me until I blocked him.
Did you end up telling your sister that he said all this stuff about it?
Yep.
Yep, yep.
I like it.
And we all laughed.
Fair enough, Emily.
Well, yeah, that is an absolute horror blind date, that's for sure.
Thanks for calling through.
Let's talk to Jamie on 0800-DIALS-NM.
Hello, Jamie.
Hi. First, Jamie. Hi.
First time caller.
First time.
Wait, do we have the...
Hold on.
Sorry.
We're one man down at the moment, Jamie.
It's okay.
But we can't let you miss out, Jamie.
There it is.
Long time listener.
First time caller.
Thanks for finally calling through. Don it is. Long time listener, first time caller. Thanks for finally calling through.
No worry.
Now tell us, what was your horror blind date?
Okay, so it's a little bit out there. My partner and I, we've been together for like 20 odd
years, but we went out for a night out on the town, went to the pub and he had seen
some friends that he knew and I had seen some friends that I knew, so we kind of split up for a little out on the town, went to the pub, and he had seen some friends that he knew
and I had seen some friends that I knew,
so we kind of split up for a little bit.
Gotcha.
And while I was talking to some friends,
this random lady I'd never met before kind of came up to me,
put her hand on my shoulder and said,
hey, look, you're really pretty.
I'm like, I'm okay.
I don't stand that way.
And she says, no I think I like to pick you up with a friend of mine
and I'm just like
completely blown away at the time
and while I'm trying to tell her that I'm with
someone here
he's just over there
she just yanks this guy out from the crowd
brings him over and
starts accusing me to this guy.
No, Jamie!
I'm openly telling both of them.
My partner is over there with me.
The first couple of years, I met just both of them.
It was just nice.
Jamie, just between you and I, just between you and I, you had a sneaky look.
How was he?
I had a sneaky look.
He was okay, but he was a police officer.
Okay.
Was he in uniform?
No.
Oh, disappointing.
That may have made a difference, but no.
Oh, it definitely puts them up a few points for sure.
It does.
It does.
Yeah, anyone in a uniform.
Well, hey, Jamie, at least you can take from that situation
that you're good-looking enough that someone will pull you out of the crowd
and try and set you up with their friend.
Yeah, that was about 20 years ago.
Don't lie to us, Jamie.
You've still got it.
You've still got it.
Appreciate you calling through, mate.
Have a good afternoon.
You too.
I've got to read out this one last text before we go to the break.
It said, I was set up on a blind date by my sister. He was
really nerdy but got drunk and went
back to his anyway. He still
lived with his dad and had bunk
beds, a Star Wars duvet
and Lego sculptures.
Thought I may as well get something out
of this tragedy so I got a back massage.
Then I went to the toilet and
tried to bail but couldn't figure out
the lock so I had to go back and ask to be let out.
Oh, no.
Can you imagine?
You've tried to get out so she's probably been gone for ages
and then she comes back and she's like, hey, can you let me out?
He's just like opening the door, may the force be with you.
And she's like, get out of here.
We need to talk about Lily Allen because her and Hubby are all over the news at the moment.
Very, very popular.
And she's actually married.
I never realised this.
She's married to David Harbour, who is off Stranger Things.
He was on the show Stranger Things.
And they're in the news at the moment because they did an interview where she revealed that her husband controls her phone.
And it sounds bad, doesn't it?
It sounds bad, but she said that this has all come about
because she's admitted that she has a real problem
with using her phone too much and she required an intervention.
Okay, so he's not going through every night and having a quick scroll of the messages, the DMs.
No, no, no, no.
Nothing like that.
Well, as far as we know.
So she said that they actually both do this.
They use a phone called Pinwheel.
It's a smartphone which is actually meant for children and essentially
it's got built-in parental guidance and it only allows certain functions on the phone
and it prohibits online browsing and social media use. So it takes away all these things that would
probably make you more likely to spend a long time on the phone. It also, like I said, it's linked to a parent's account,
which gives them full control over its app installation.
So if she wants to install an app, it'll ping his phone
and then he has to say yes or no whether she's allowed to have it.
I kind of need this myself.
Do you want to take a quick stab in the dark? My
screen time, average per day.
You get it on Monday mornings.
It pops up and it's the most like... Does it?
Okay. It's the most, I don't know, humiliating
gutting thing when it comes through.
Producers, what do we reckon? Buttons
man Liam, how much screen time
is he having? It comes through as an average every
day, right? Yeah. Is this per
day? This is per day and average
per day. How many hours per day? Four.
Am I sitting on my phone? I'm locking in four.
Four? Four's a lot.
Maybe four.
Three and a half.
I'm going to go more. I'm going to say
five. No, I'm going to lock
in six. Six hours a day,
you're on your phone. I'm disgusted to announce
that I'm on my phone six and a half hours a day, you're on your phone. I'm disgusted to announce that I own my phone six and a half
hours a day.
What are you doing on there?
I can think of a few things you're doing on there.
Well, if that's taking me six and a half hours, we've got
some bigger problems.
Peak time, that's for sure.
How do you check? How do you check how long?
You just pull down. So if you go on your main page,
pull down and just search screen time, it'll pop up
as like an option.
So maybe I need to take a little bit of this
like Lily Allen advice because
yes, that's kind of the
that's terrible. Are you watching
Netflix on your phone at night time?
Okay, I'm literally scrolling TikTok.
I'm on Instagram. Oh, you're one of those
endless droning, scrolling people
on TikTok. When I say it
out loud, I say like, oh, make some change,
but it's been like that for years.
It is addictive, like being on your phone.
Like it's so addictive and they've made it that way.
What did you say that she used?
Maybe I need to, you know.
It's a phone called Pinwheel and it's a smartphone,
but it has all these things that don't allow you
or deter you from being on your phone as much.
I need it.
I mean, good relationship that they trust each other that much
where they're literally controlling each other's phones.
You would hate if you were, you know, doing the naughty
and then someone had to, like, they had to prove that, you know?
Yeah.
Like, do you guys, like, in relationships, like, producers,
you're both in a relationship,
do you ever look through your partner's phone?
Nah.
Not really.
I have the PIN number.
Like, I could if I wanted to, but I don't need to.
It's quite invasive, eh?
Yeah.
Yeah, like, I trust him, you know?
Maybe if I was sus.
That was not convincing.
No, I'm trying to think about it.
If I was sus, how would you go about it?
If you were sus and they were like, no, no, no, no, it's fine,
then you just take their word for it or you're like, no,
I'm sensing something.
I learnt a long time ago that I feel like as soon as you start going
through a partner's phone, it's the beginning of the end.
No, I wouldn't do it.
I kind of used to love going through my partner's phone it's the beginning of the end i wouldn't do it i kind of used to
love going through my partner's phone what are you looking for i don't know like like wait did she know about it she didn't but i would be so secretive over my phone and i wasn't hiding
anything but just like i don't know like they'd run to the shower and you'd kind of like be like, I wonder what they were Googling.
Liam!
I wonder like who they were texting.
Terrible.
And how is that relationship going?
It's gone.
I'm shocked.
Liam!
I'm so shocked to hear.
I thought we could throw it out there on 0800 dials at M this afternoon.
What did you find when you went through your partner's phone?
Oh, no.
Like maybe, and I'm not saying, you know, you're in the wrong if you went through your
partner's phone.
Maybe you needed to, to find some information, to confirm something.
I don't know.
Maybe they were in the shower and you wanted to see what they were texting and what they
were buying.
Or what they were Googling, according to Liam.
Or maybe you were the person where they went through your phone
and found something on your phone.
You can call us on 0800-DIALS-AT-M or text us on 9696.
You can remain anonymous.
Bree and Clint.
Right now we're talking about times you've been through your partner's phone.
It's okay.
It's a safe space.
You probably had a good reason to because
what did you find? There's a lot of texts coming through. Some texts that we can't read
out on air, but we'll try our best. Someone texted her and said, I saw spicy pics from
his last relationship. Why has he still got pictures from his last relationship, let alone spicy ones?
I mean, pictures from his last relationship, that's fine.
Well, a little bit weird.
Put them somewhere.
But not spicy ones.
A lot of, I'm going to say it.
I'm going to cancel.
A lot of mean looks like they're making a lot of sandwiches
not with their partners.
Yeah, a few people.
What about this one?
This is quite sad.
They said, I found out my partner had been gambling online.
He swore he wasn't.
Found out he was losing up to $600 some days.
That's sad.
That's a bad one.
There's another great one about ruining an engagement.
So she was like, he's being so suspicious.
My partner in passing was talking about engagement rings.
He kept hiding his phone from me. I went into his Google
history just to make sure I liked the ring.
Oh no, then you ruined the
surprise for yourself. Let's talk to
James on 0800 Dials at M. G'day
James. How you going?
Good, thank you mate. What did you find
when you went through your partner's phone?
A little back story to it.
We were in a bit of a rocky
place. Okay. We'd had a bit of a rocky place. Okay.
We'd had a newborn and a bit of postnatal depression
and she was a bit overwhelmed, so saved up a bit of money
and sent her away to Queenstown for a bit of a girls' weekend away.
Oh, that's lovely.
Yeah, well, it kind of backfired on me
because when we got back, a mutual friend of ours was like,
I think you should have a wee look in so and so's phone and
yeah not saying anything but you need to
have a wee look yeah
found the right opportunity and
had a wee nosy through the phone and
yeah saw messages with a
friend that she had said
was always a friend and mutual
friend I guess and yeah saying
I don't think you
should turn up looking as good or
don't turn up looking hot like that or
and then
they'd obviously been out in the town
that night saying you can't
leave me hanging just like that. I need
more.
Oh James, your stomach
would have fell into your butt.
Yeah, I'm a pretty
calm and collected person but it yeah, it hit a nerve.
And I thought I'd always be able to pick up on those signs,
listen to a lot of crime podcasts, but yeah.
What happened in the end?
Did you work it out?
Yeah, I woke her up.
I was in the middle of the night and woke her up and said,
what's the go with these messages?
And she just told me that I was overreacting
and that I should,
why was I,
you know,
the whole,
why are you looking through my phone?
You had no right to do that,
pushed the blame back onto me.
Oh, no.
And did you figure it out?
You got a baby together?
Are you still together?
Or you went your separate ways?
Well,
that was our secret,
our secret kid.
A week or so later, I
came home to an empty house that she had
got rid of our dog and got rid of our cat
and she had moved out. I was going to say, James, very
ballsy to call up if you're still together and relive the
search. Yeah, James. I love
a challenge.
Half a challenge. Well, I hope
you're happy now and you
figured yourself out, James.
Oh, 100%. Yeah, life's too short to hold on to
those sort of grudges. It was a few years ago. Now
we co-parent not too badly
in our moments. Well, good to hear. Good on
you, James. Good on you, James.
You're a good person. Thanks for calling
through, mate. Cheers. Have a good one.
You too. Someone texted through and said
logged into his email on my laptop
and I found him subscribing
to OnlyFans models.
He was also borrowing money from me to pay his rent.
Oh, I would have been fuming at that one.
Someone else texted through and said,
one night when my boyfriend was drunk, I was looking through his phone
and saw him on a browser tab.
Then that was open on an OnlyFans account.
So many OnlyFans texts coming through.
A lot of people.
There is an interesting text.
It says, I look at my hubby's phone and he looks at mine
while we're sitting next to each other.
Neither of us are bothered.
But why, if you're not bothered,
why are you both going through each other's phones?
Oh, but they're just looking,
just having a sneaky look over the shoulder.
Sometimes you just snoop and just snoop.
Be like, what are you doing?
What are you up to?
I think it's a totally different story if they're in the shower
and you're sitting there in a dark room going through their phone.
Who would do that?
Yeah, who would do that?
Let's talk to one more person on 0800 dials at M.
G'day, Scott.
Scott, you there, mate?
Hi, yes.
Yeah, I'm here.
Scott, did you find something on your partner's phone?
Kind of.
I found it on my phone.
What do you mean you found it on your phone?
So I'd gone on a holiday for about a month with a friend of mine,
just travelling around, and left my budding relationship at the time back at my place,
and they'd moved in, all of that.
Okay.
And I come back from this holiday,
and I hear a couple of rumors around town that she'd been sleeping with some other guys.
Right.
Talked to my housemates and stuff, and they're like, yeah, something's going on.
And I remembered that a couple months ago, one day when her phone was dead,
she'd signed into Facebook on my phone.
Oh, no.
So I opened up Facebook Messengers
and, yeah, find a lot of saucy and intimate messages
going on with another guy.
Turns out they'd been sleeping together in my bed
while I wasn't there.
And you could see all of this from your phone because
she'd logged into her own Facebook
account. Yep.
I didn't even need to touch her phone.
She had no idea.
She literally had handed herself the smoking
gun. Yes.
Oh, mate.
And so what did you do? Did you confront her?
Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
Next time I saw her I said, you know,
I don't think this is cool.
You know, you're in my bed sleeping with other guys.
You've got two weeks.
Get all your shit out.
Otherwise, I'll burn it.
Okay, all right.
Well, I don't know if that was a good idea.
I was very emotional at the time. I bet you were, Scott.
You could have just put up a silly Facebook status on her account, you know?
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
I went and made a relationship status that complicated.
Yeah, you showed her, Scott.
Hey, you have a good afternoon, mate.
Thanks for calling through.
Bree and Clint.
Time to do your birthday bangers.
Bree and Clint.
All I want for my birthday is a birthday banger.
Number one songs when you turn 16.
We do love it on this show.
We're going to figure out three and then play our favourite one out in full.
Let's talk to Derek first.
G'day, Derek.
Hey, guys.
How's your afternoon been, mate?
Oh, not too bad. And yourself?
Yeah, pretty good.
Derek, are you on your way home from work?
I just got home, got to cook a feed.
Oh, lovely. Love to hear.
Well, let's do your birthday banger first.
What's your date of birth?
27 April 2005.
All right, Derek.
That means you were 16 in 2021.
So a couple of years ago now.
And on that day, this was at the top.
Peaches, JB.
What do you reckon, Derek?
Hi, it's not a bad song.
Not too bad.
It was a massive hit for Justin Bieber, that's for sure.
We'll see what else we get.
It could be in for a shot.
But let's talk to Kayla next on 0800DIALS.M.
G'day, Kayla.
Hey, how's it going?
Good, Nate.
How's your day been?
Yeah, it's been good.
Full on. What would you rate it out of 10, mate. How's your day been? Yeah, it's been good. Full on.
What would you rate it out of 10, Kayla?
10 out of 10.
10 out of 10.
I said we're talking to an optimist.
I was going to say, Kayla, you can't live with not much energy for a 10 out of 10.
But?
I just finished at the gym, so I'm pumped.
Oh, look at you, Kayla.
Nice work.
Go you.
Okay, well, let's do your birthday banger.
What is your date of birth?
090493.
All right.
That means you were 16, mate, in 2009.
And back on the 9th of April of 09, this was number one.
Oh, boy.
Bit of Taylor Swift love story.
Does that sum you up, Kayla?
Oh, yeah, 100%.
You a Swifty?
Oh, yeah.
Oh, well, this couldn't have worked out better for you.
See, everything turns up, Kayla.
No wonder it's a 10 out of 10.
Oh, 100%.
Oh, love it.
Love to hear it, Kayla.
Let's talk to one more person.
Brian, g'day, mate.
Yeah, g'day.
How are you tonight? Good, Brian. How are you?
Just got home from
work, so got kids and dinner on,
but all good. Oh, lovely, Brian.
Okay, well, all I need is your birthday.
5th
to 10th, 1975.
Alright, that means you were 16 in
1991, Brian.
And here's your birthday banger.
Oh, it's an absolute ripper from Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch.
Good vibrations.
What do you reckon, Brian?
I didn't expect that one, but I was also worried.
It's going back a few years.
Had to go a little bit back in the system for that one.
No, we didn't.
You leave Brian alone.
It's an absolute rip-off.
No, I agree with him.
You had to go a fair bit back.
You know what?
We had to get the records out there, Brian, just to find that one.
Buttons man Liam going to town on Brian.
You know what, Brian?
I'm voting for your song.
I like it that much.
I reckon we play it, but it's not all up to me.
That's awesome.
Will you guys have a good evening?
Okay, see you, Brian.
He's off.
He's going to cook dinner for the kids.
Liam, I'm voting for that song.
If you go with me, then we play it, unless you pick one of the others.
I feel like I was a little bit harsh on Brian, wasn't I?
You feel bad.
I feel bad. Let's go with it a little bit harsh on Brian, wasn't I? You feel bad. I feel bad.
Let's go with it, I reckon.
Let's, yeah.
It'll make my day.
Let's do it.
We'll look at it.
Oh, yeah.
I'm sorry, Brian.
Feel it, feel it.
Oh, this is an absolute tune.
Good Vibrations is your birthday banger this afternoon.
Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch, you're welcome.
And you're on ZM, just to remind you.
Brie and Clint.
Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch, that's good vibration.
That's your birthday banger this afternoon on Brie and Clint.
Just take that off the vinyl for us, guys.
Just pull that one up.
Mate, it's not that old.
It's from 1991.
Still got a lot of miles left on those tyres.
Hey, Producer Ella.
Yeah?
You know Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch.
Do you know much about them?
No, but Cordia was giving me a lesson.
Oh, I was going to ask you.
Oh, sorry.
Yeah, well, I have learnt that Marky Mark is Mark Wahlberg
from The Departed.
So, wait, you've just learnt that that's Mark Wahlberg?
Is he singing?
Yeah, he's the one going, feel it, feel it.
Wait, wait a second.
Yeah, no, no idea.
Buttons man Liam.
Wait, Mark Wahlberg from, like, Shark Tank.
Ted.
Wait, Shark Tank?
What?
Wait, just put between yourself.
No, actor Mark Wahlberg.
Mark Wahlberg, you know?
Oh, you ding-dong.
Oh, that's not who I thought that was.
This is Mr. Wahlberger.
Oh, my gosh.
Now I feel like you guys.
Wait, who doesn't know who Mark Wahlberg is?
I thought he was, oh.
You know, famous actor,
got the Boston accent. You don't know
who Mark Wahlberg is?
Oh my god.
I'm surrounded by Gen Z's.
I feel ancient. I feel a hundred.
Not as old as
Mark Wahlberg would feel if he heard this.
I reckon Brian would know who Mark Wahlberg is.
Poor Brian.
Far out.
Why do you not like Brian?
I love Brian.
He was so excited.
Yeah, you leave Brian alone.
I love Brian.
Anyway, yes, Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch, that is Mark Wahlberg.
Fascinating.
He was 20 when that song came out.
So wait, sorry, I know this is a lot.
Actor after singing or was he always acting?
So he kind of rose to fame.
He did this amazing... Have you ever seen
the Calvin Klein ad? The Mark
Wahlberg Calvin Klein ad? I will have
a look later. You've never seen that?
I didn't know he was such a massive
figure. You're welcome in advance.
Yes. Exactly. You're welcome.
I've never thought of this
guy as good looking, just not my type.
Is that him? That's Mark Wahlberg. I've never seen a young Mark Wahlberg. Back good-looking, just not my type. Is that him?
That's Mark Wahlberg back in the day when he modelled for Calvin Klein.
I always thought Mark Wahlberg was Mark Cuban.
Oh, wow.
On that note, we're going to go to the ads.
Bree and Clint.
And that is the end of the show.
Producers filled in today.
Clint has been getting his chest waxed,
getting ready for the radio awards, so obviously couldn't make it today. Clint has been getting his chest waxed, getting ready for the radio awards, so

I heard it was just so hairy that it had to take the full
four hours. I heard the opposite, that
there's not much there and it'll be very quick.
They were plucking? Yeah.
They couldn't find it. Do you reckon Clint would have a hairy
chest? A little bit. Like in all seriousness?
A little tough, nah. I don't think so.
I don't reckon he's got anything. Maybe hairy nip though.
A hairy nip?
Just one.
I found a black hair around my nipple the other day.
Did you keep it?
Nah, I pulled that sucker straight out and, God, it hurt.
Apparently every one you pull out, every two you get back.
That's not true.
That's true.
It is not true.
It is not true, guys.
I did hear the rumours.
Hairy nip, Bree. Bree heard it wandering around the place.
Mate, you should see my big toe.
It's shocking.
Hey, I am Italian.
I'm allowed.
It's fine.
It's been a very fun show today.
If you want to catch everything that went down,
you can get the podcast from wherever you listen to your podcast from.
Up next is our new night show host, Brooke.
She's got all the fun things and she
actually knows about music because she's young and she's
cool. So stick around for that. We'll see you tomorrow.
Bye!
