Hello everybody, welcome to the Brie and Clint podcast where once again we are missing a leg from this table.
Yes.
Tables have four legs, don't they?
Table.
Claude's down.
Claude is sick.
Claude down.
Poor thing.
She's got the food poisoning, the dreaded deli belly.
The bum wheeze.
Oh, Brie.
I wanted to
Squirt
Focus in on
Stop
Specifically what her partner did
In this podcast intro
Because
Anal cannon
Alright
Pipe down
Bazooka
Her partner Becca
Sent us a message
Yesterday afternoon
Actually nine o'clock
Last night
And
From Claude's phone
And she'd logged in
And she's
Claude's really sick She's taking a selfie With Claude's phone. And she'd logged in and she's, Claude's really sick.
She's taking a selfie with Claude,
and she's in the selfie doing a piece,
and Claude's clearly unconscious and looks very near death.
Yeah, I'd be so unhappy if someone took that photo of me.
And she sent it to our group.
I'd be furious.
It's pretty crack up.
She wrote, hey guys, Beck's here.
Claudia has a terrible stomach thing
and I don't think she'll be up to work tomorrow.
She looks dead, but I'm pretty sure she isn't.
She's so funny.
I hope she's not.
Do you hope she's not dead?
Yeah.
Have I ever told you the story about the time my mum,
it wasn't food poisoning technically,
but it was from
this um vitamin that she took that she was definitely allergic to yeah it was like wisteria
root or something oh yeah like some potion lotion ashwagandha something anyway she took this thing
and i would have been in grade i want to to say grade eight. So still quite young, like 13.
Yeah.
And anyway, my mum was like, Brianna, can you watch dinner?
I'm feeling quite sick.
And anyway, like as a 13 year old, you get, you don't really know what's going on.
So you get quite worried.
And my mum runs off to the bathroom.
And about 10 minutes later, hear, Rihanna!
Rihanna!
And I'm freaking out because I'm the only one home.
So it's up to me, right?
And then I go up to the toilet door and I can hear her in there just
just like being sick everywhere.
And I'm like, Mum, are you okay?
She goes, no, I'm not okay.
Ring your father and tell him he has to come home
and take me to the hospital.
Wow.
And my mum is not like a princess.
A hypochondriac.
Like not at all.
And so I was freaking out because I'd never seen her like that.
I call my dad who workaholic farmer.
It's about 6.30 at night.
I said, dad, you need to come home.
Mum's real sick and he goes
okay tell her i've got one more bin of apples to box up and then i'll be home which is about 15 20
minutes and i said mom he's got one more bin of apples to go and you just hear my mum go he needs
to come no and it's like full exorcism.
I was like, Dad, you need to come now. Come now.
Yeah, they couldn't move her and they needed to call the ambulance.
She was so dehydrated and so like weak that she had to stay in hospital overnight.
Oh my gosh.
Anyway, she didn't know what it was from.
She had no idea.
She thought she'd had some virus or stomach bug or something.
And then like two weeks later She took this same thing
Yeah
And she knew
I need to get my strength back
Better get back on my vitamins
And she knew straight away
She goes
Holy shit
It's this
It's this
And there was nothing she could do
She had to go back to hospital
She got
It went all over again
Yeah
Oh Christ on a bike
Cause she
She could not stop
It was so terrifying
Tell him he needs to come now
So do we think that's what happened to Claude last night?
I think we just go with yes
Do you think she'd be okay with us posting this picture
In the Facebook group?
Don't you dare
I mean ask her
No don't even ask her
I've seen a few dead bodies
Leave her alone She looks dead Where I've seen a few dead bodies. Leave her alone.
She looks dead.
Where have you seen a dead body?
Open casket funerals.
Who?
Grandparents.
Can I ask why they do that?
In Maori culture, it's big because you actually spend three days
with the person back on the marae.
In the house, right?
Yeah, at the house or back on the marae.
And you sort of tell stories and you sing songs and you have conversations with the person back on the marae. In the house, right? Yeah, at the house or back on the marae. And you sort of tell stories and you sing songs
and you have conversations with that person.
And it's like a real long grief period.
It's actually the most beautiful way to have a funeral,
but it's quite confronting at first because the person is there.
I don't know how I'd go if I was a kid.
Yeah.
Oh, kids.
No, kids.
Kids, I feel like, little kids,
I think they're the least weirded out by it
Oh
I was terrified as a kid
I was like
I don't even want to go to the funeral
Oh wow
Yeah
Well you must have been old enough to understand
I was five
Oh
Yeah and I remember crying
And being like
Dad I don't want to go
So have you not seen a dead body?
I have
Yeah
At an open casket funeral once.
Yeah, once in my life.
Yeah.
Well, there's your second one.
It's Claude.
Stop.
Leave Claude alone.
The poor thing.
Don't you dare post that.
I won't.
I won't.
I'm just double checking for Claude.
And I, Claude, if you're listening, I care the most.
Yeah, we can tell.
These guys.
I replied first.
I was the first one to reply. That means nothing. Yeah, what the heck? That means you're on your phone the most. No, it means tell. These guys. I replied first. I was the first one to reply. That means
nothing. Yeah, what the heck? That means you're on your phone
the most. No, it means I was first to care.
That is true. You guys only responded because
I did. Oh, making us look bad.
Bloody onto it, Ella, aren't you? Yeah, I know.
Just holding it in till together.
Last thing before we go,
your partner listens to the podcast, eh?
Sometimes. She doesn't. Why?
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Where are you going to hide your Christmas present?
It's so hard.
She's so nosy.
It's here in the studio.
That's why I want to know where you're going to hide it.
It's a good present.
I don't know where.
Where do you hide your stuff?
Well, we're in a new house.
Yeah, so you need a new place.
So I need new hiding places.
There's actually lots.
Is there?
Yeah, there's lots of good ones.
The problem is I need to remember where.
The vent.
You know the vent in your floor?
Our new vent.
Pull that vent out and put it down there.
Put all kinds of shit down there.
Drugs.
I mean, money.
I don't think you can put drugs in a vent because then if it's weed,
your whole house just starts to smell like aromatics.
You know how families have their own
family smell that could be your family smell families do have their own smell what's a family
smell think about it yeah i read this thing it said yeah everybody's house has a smell but you
don't know what yours is because it's yours yeah Freaky. Like, my best friend has such a distinctive smell.
It's not bad or anything.
No, it's them.
It's just there.
It's them, yeah.
Some people have an amazing pheromone smell.
Some people are naturally just smell delightful.
But to be honest, like we saw with that pheromone party we did,
you're more attracted to certain pheromones than other people.
Like, I would be attracted to different pheromones than what people. Like I would be attracted to different pheromones
than what you're attracted to.
Did you know that?
Yeah, it's very specific to you.
That's interesting.
We're like dogs out there sniffing butts,
trying to find the butt of our dreams.
Producer Brooke hasn't said very much this whole podcast.
Have you said anything?
No.
Now I have.
She's a woman of few words. She's our fillin claude a few words does your um part-time uh man part-time lover sorry yeah he doesn't listen
to the podcast we've got to talk about that can we talk about that my elton john part-time
you'll hear this in the first thing we do on the show after Tradiverse Lady.
Brooke refers to her boyfriend as part-time lover
and says that she's willing to break up with him on International Breakup Day, December 11.
She's open to the idea.
No, that's not the first thing on the podcast.
It isn't it?
Have you ever been in first class as the first one?
First class is the first thing.
Oh, midway point there.
Yeah, midway point.
Sorry.
Anyway, anyway, anyway, my point is he was listening.
Has he ever given you the ick?
Oh, multiple times.
She's broken up with him like three times.
That's right.
That's why they're not full time.
Is it always the same reason?
No, no.
Different things.
Different excuses that I pull out of the bag.
I'm like, oh, I'll roll back to this one.
I love it.
When we're arguing, I'm like, lock that in my brain for the next time I want to do it
and then it comes out of the catalogue.
That's what us women do.
When you need the motivation to dump us.
Yeah, I'm like, remember when you did that thing like two, three months ago?
That's why I'm breaking up with you.
What men don't understand, Brooke, is that us ladies, we're like a fucking library, right?
Oh, yeah.
So every little thing that's said, every little thing that's done,
we archive it, we archive it, and then we pull it out at the right moment.
Mm-hmm.
You know, just at the right time.
2015, July 12th.
Remember that time that you told me that I didn't look very good?
Yeah, well, let's talk about that right now.
Yeah.
It's not even what he did say.
It's what you didn't say.
Exactly.
That morning you woke up and you didn't tell me that I looked like Beyonce.
How dare you?
How dare you?
It'd be terrifying if you woke up and looked like Beyonce.
He wishes.
Radical departure from your current looks,
which there's nothing wrong with.
You just don't dare any resemblance.
No, like the idea of Beyonce
Like a goddess
Fuck I'm African American
That was such a dad joke
Oh my gosh
You're not funny
Oh Clint
I need to go home
It's like that
That little Nicky song
Freaky Friday
Freaky Friday
Oh shit
Oh Kendall Jenner's part in that. Very cringy.
I got a vagina.
I'm going to explore that.
Oh, that was terrible.
Let's go.
Let's go.

I think so.

Dinner and a show.
All right, perfect.
Lock it in.
Easy.
Perfect.
Done.
Secret Santa will be fun, won't it?
I'm going to give you stripper money.

Today on the show, lots coming up.
We're going to tell you how you can win an amazing prize from Mitre 10 later in the show.

Thanks to Mitre 10.
Absolutely.
If you want to enter someone, you can do that right now at ZM Online.
Yep, we'll give you all the details later in the show.
But let's kick it off with Tradiverse Lady.
There are only 15 Tradie vs. Ladies left of 2022.
Is that enough for the ladies to mount a come-from-behind victory?
No.
But should they still give it a good go anyway?
Yes.
Yes.
Because there's $50 cash up for grabs and you can call now 0800-DIAL-ZM.
Bree and Clint.
Bree and Clint. Bree and Clint.
Tradies versus ladies.
All right, $50 on the line.
The tradies have 107 wins under their belt.
The ladies on 86.
Let's meet our lady.
She's calling in all the way from Lower Hutt.
She's 29 years old and she is a crazy cat lady.
Welcome to the show, Kelsey.
G'day. Kelsey, how many cats do you have? years old and she is a crazy cat lady. Welcome to the show, Kelsey. Hello.
Kelsey, how many cats do you have?
I only have two, but
I'm open to getting more.
I've had this discussion with my
wife about what the tipping point
is for regular cat lady
into crazy cat lady. It's three.
I reckon it's three. Yeah, it could be three.
But Kelsey, you're fine with it,
so get as many as you want.
Go for gold.
Yeah.
Thanks, guys.
Okay, we're playing for cat food money.
I think you're taking on our tradie.
He's calling in from Edendale.
He's 20 years old, and he has no taste buds.
Welcome to the show, Connor.
How are we?
Connor, have you never had taste buds?
No, I've been born with no taste buds.
So you can't taste anything?
Nothing at all.
Wow. So are you like real thin
because you don't care about things like chocolate
and like sweet
stuff? Yeah, well I can eat really
cheap so I just pretty much
just eat noodles, potatoes
just your standard things really.
That sounds yum anyway but yeah.
What's the best texture food in your opinion?
Good question.
When you take taste out of it.
Yeah.
Yeah, what is it?
I'm going to say avocado.
There you go.
Not what I was expecting.
Yeah.
Okay, Connor, you're taking on Kelsey.
Connor, your buzzer is tradie.
Kelsey, yours is lady.
First to three correct answers,
gets 50 bucks cash from KFC.
Trust us, Connor.
KFC tastes great.
It's so yum.
Oh, poor Connor.
I bet it does.
Question number one.
According to retailers, last Friday was Black Friday.
What is the name for the shopping event happening today?
Tradie.
Lady.
Yes, Connor.
Cyber Monday. He's on the money. Nice work. One point to the Tradie. Lady. Yes, Connor. Cyber Monday.
He's on the money.
Nice work.
One point to the tradies.
Question number two.
Where in NZ are the most Chardonnay grapes grown, giving the town the ability to call
itself the Chardonnay capital of New Zealand?
Is it Napier, Nelson or Gisborne?
Oh, tradie.
Yes, Connor.
I'm going to say Gisborne.
He is on fire to start off this game on a Monday.
That is two to the tradies.
Question number three.
Morrinsville, hometown of Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern,
has run out of water and people are being asked not to shower.
Which island would you find Morrinsville in, north or south?
Trady. Connor for the clean sweep.
North.
Well done, man.
Hey, Kelsey,
cat got your tongue?
Oh, come on, man. Don't let me hang on that.
That went down like a sack of turds.
Is she still there?
Kelsey, are you even still there?
Looks like I take it by default then.
Yeah, well, you went either way, but you were playing against yourself,
it turns out.
Well, hey, Connor, you played a fantastic game anyway.
$50 coming your way.
Thank you.
Can we isolate that awkward cat joke?
That'd be great.
I'd like to hear it again.
Kelsey wasn't even there, the poor thing.
She's been killed by one of her cats.
No fun to us.
She got downtrout.
Brian Clint's at air.
Brian Clint.
I saw this story where a passenger in first class was really upset.
Okay.
And my first thought was...
What have you got to be upset about?
What have you got to be upset about?
You're in first class.
Life's good up there.
Come back to coach with all of us and you'll have something to be upset about.
Anyway...
Their champagne was too bubbly.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
It was not the most expensive one and it really ruined my day.
No, this guy apparently was really annoyed because there was this family of three,
the mum, the husband and their toddler.
Oh, yeah.
And they were all in first class.
So the toddler, I believe, was about three.
Yeah.
And the parents had booked the toddler.
A first class seat. A first class seat.
A first class seat.
Poor lucky toddler.
I know.
And I mean.
That kid is going to grow up with some warped ideas about how the world works.
They don't need leg room.
If anyone doesn't need the leg room.
Yeah.
It's a three year old.
Here's a life hack.
Toddlers will think that economy is first class.
It's the same.
Because if they get a colouring book and some headphones,
they'll be like, this is the best day ever.
Good to go.
Anyway, this guy pretty much was like,
little kids shouldn't be in first class, yada, yada, yada.
They're in the wrong seats, kicking up a big stink.
What a punisher.
You know what the ironic thing is?
This person is probably throwing a bigger tantrum than
the three year old. Than the toddler. Exactly.
Anyway, the flight attendant came over
and goes, no sir, they've all booked
first class tickets. They're in the right seat.
Can you please go back to your
seat? And S
FTO or whatever.
So it caused a big fight. Anyway
apparently the mum said that this guy was so rude the whole flight
and her toddler was really well behaved.
That's what I'm saying.
Who's misbehaving in this situation?
He's the one causing more of a ruckus.
Funny, eh?
Isn't he?
And then I was thinking, because obviously a three-year-old in first class,
how lucky.
I have never been in first class.
Probably will never get to fly first class,
but would love to know what it's like.
Why do you think you'll never get to fly in first class?
I just can't picture myself ever being in a position
where I would spend...
What if you win a competition?
Oh, well, that maybe.
But what competition am I going to win?
I don't know.
I'm not allowed to win any of the competitions we have.
You literally won a competition on Thursday last week.
Oh, that's not a competition that I entered to win a prize.
You won a prize.
You won TV Personality of the Year.
I won a trophy.
What I'm saying is you could win it.
Buying it is, like, mind-blowingly expensive.
It's not even like travelling in first class is, like like two or three times the price of flying an economy.
It's like six, seven times the amount.
It's like if your flights to the UK are $1,700 in economy, they're like $13,000 in first class.
And that's not an exaggeration.
Yeah, why is it like that?
Why is it so, so much more?
I can tell you why.
Because you get all the things.
So you get the beautiful menu.
You get the proper cutlery and crockery and the blankets and the champagne.
I want a Tesla if I'm paying $13,000 for a 24-hour trip.
No, the real thing is your first-class seat takes up the space of four or five economy seats. So they
can't sell those. That's how many they pack
in of us in an economy? Absolutely
right. Absolutely right. Your ability
to lie down flat in first
class is like the use of three
economy seats that they could
sell. So you have to pay for all of it.
It's crazy.
I
Haven't you flown first class?
Well, this is how I know so much about it.
Right.
Here we go.
How the other half lived.
Tell us.
Once in my life, I had the privilege of flying in first class.
And how?
I went on a contiki for...
You're going on a contiki first class.
That's not a contiki.
For a radio station that I was working at.
Yeah.
At the time.
And they put you first class.
And the airline was, I was in South America.
I was flying to Buenos Aires.
And the airline that was flying us, doesn't even fly to New Zealand anymore.
It was called Aerolineas Argentineas.
Mm-hmm.
And because it was like.
Her name is Aurelius Maximus.
Yeah.
Somehow someone pulled some strings
and I had a coffee with the guy
who ran the airline in New Zealand
and he's like,
we'll definitely be putting you
and your friend Drunemia in first class.
I know what happened.
And we got to fly in first class.
I know what happened.
Yeah.
Better.
Yeah, I gave him a bit of...
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
The old how's your father?
It is incredible up there.
I'll just tell you that.
It is incredible.
You know what?
Do I want to hear about it?
Because I feel like I would rather,
if it's going to be one time,
I'd rather not do it.
Yeah.
Because then you know what you're missing out on.
Champagne before the aeroplane takes off.
And like hot towels.
I've heard the food is amazing.
There's something weird about eating off an actual plate
with an actual knife and fork on an aeroplane
that you don't think about until you do it
and you go, oh my God, this is really nice.
I don't appreciate knives and forks on the ground,
but I hear in a plane.
Elbow not touching the person next to you
that you don't know.
Okay, I want to hear from people.
0800 dial ZM.
Is this you?
Yeah.
Have you flown first class?
What was the airline?
Where did you go?
How much did it cost?
What was it like?
How much did it cost?
Or maybe you won it.
I don't care.
Yeah, yeah.
0800 dial ZM or you can text us on 9696.
Bree and Clint.
Bree and Clint, that's Megan Trainor and Made You Look.
She'd fly first class.
100%.
Wouldn't she?
You know who else would? She's not. Because I don't reckon Megan Trainor is on private jet lifestyle. No,. She'd fly first class. 100%. Wouldn't she? You know who else would?
She's not, because I don't reckon Meghan Trainor is on private jet lifestyle.
No, but she'd fly first class.
But she'd fly first class, right?
You know who else would?
Who?
Jack Harlow.
Up in the sky?
Yeah, first class, for sure.
That's what we're asking you this afternoon,
because Bree's never experienced it, flying in first class.
I want to hear about it.
What's it like?
I say that like there's something weird about you
that you'd never experienced it.
99.9% of people have never experienced first class travel.
I don't think I ever will,
but I want to hear through other people.
I want to vicariously live through you.
So have you been up there?
What's it like?
The first caller wants to be anonymous.
Anonymous, is that because you're a regular
first class traveller?
No, it's just that probably I don't want people to know.
Oh, how come?
Well, I just think, you know, like I live, I'm pretty lucky. I have a really nice life,
but others don't need to know who I am.
Okay.
Right. Okay.
You want to stay humble.
I do.
Okay.
But tell us, how good is it?
It's amazing. Yeah. Like we were with, can I name the airline? Yeah. Emirates. Okay. But tell us. How good is it? It's amazing. Yeah.
Like we were with, can I name the airline?
Yeah.
Emirates.
Okay.
We travel a lot and we had a lot of points.
So we organised to fly up.
Our daughter was in Spain.
So we flew from Dubai to Spain in first class.
Yeah.
And when you're waiting to go on the plane,
they have a special restaurant just for first class,
and you have your own chef.
What? And they will cook you anything.
You have your own chef?
While you're waiting at the restaurant,
they'll just do anything for you.
So if you're like, I feel like a peanut butter jelly sandwich,
they'll make that for you?
Yep.
I wanted, what did I want?
I wanted some haddock or something. It was something unusual, and they just made it for you. Yep. I wanted, what did I want? I wanted some haddock or something.
It was something unusual and they just made it for me.
Oh my God.
Anonymous, hang on, we've got to set the mood a little bit right for you.
It's what it's like in first class, the restaurant is what you get on.
Has it spoiled you on flying in a regular seat?
Like, could you not fly from New Zealand to Australia unless you were in at least business
class now,
anonymous?
When we fly to Australia,
like we were there
a few weeks ago,
we fly,
we don't think it's worth
spending the money on business.
If we're going beyond Australia,
we get business anyway.
But normally,
just across the Tasman,
we just go in economy.
What, can I ask,
and thank you for being
so honest with us,
and I know you want to
protect your identity.
What do you do for a job, or how did you make your money?
I'm a landscape gardener.
Yes.
You made your money from landscape gardening?
And a good wife.
And a good wife.
You must be bloody good at trimming those bushes.
No wonder you want to remain anonymous.
If you show up to the site tomorrow and they're like,
we heard you fly first class on Emirates Airlines, you'd never live it down.
Anonymous, my last question for you, someone who flies first class all the time,
what is the best champagne?
Well, no, look, I've got something better to tell you than the champagne.
On the 380, they have two showers.
Stop it!
This is what I want!
Only first class people refer to it as the 380.
Thank you, Anonymous.
We appreciate it.
Even better.
Do you think champagne showers?
Janine's here.
Hi, Janine.
Hi, Janine.
Hey, guys.
Are you a first class traveller, Janine?
I used to be a long time ago.
Tell me everything, Janine.
Since I came to New Zealand, I'm not.
What's the best thing about flying in first class, Janine?
I flew with BA and they make you dress up like Smurfs.
That was years ago.
What?
Well, you get these, they come out with these bedclothes,
these blue pyjamas.
Oh.
These pyjama suits and you look like a load of Smurfs running around.
They do me like face paint and stuff. I'd be like, I did not a load of Smurfs running around. They'd do me like
face paint and stuff.
I'd be like,
I did not pay
thousands of dollars
to be humiliated like this.
I've heard that
the Qantas pajamas
they give you
in first class
are amazing.
Like you'd actually
keep them
and use them again.
I had a friend
who used to wear
them around.
I was like,
are they from
the first class
time you flew?
And she goes,
yeah,
they're the best
pajamas I've ever had. Okay, thank you Janine. Finally, Charlie, are they from the first class time you flew? And she goes, yeah, they're the best pyjamas I've ever had.
Okay, thank you, Janine.
Finally, Charlie, are you a first class traveller?
I'm not a first class traveller.
I'm a private jet traveller.
Charlie, what the hell?
Tell me more.
How?
So I used to nanny for a millionaire family in America.
Right.
So I would go live with them in Beverly Hills and just be their living nanny.
And when we'd go on holidays to their private yacht, we'd take their private jet.
Charlie, can I ask, were they famous people?
Yeah, but not like A-celebs, you know?
Okay.
Like maybe C-list celebs.
Right.
Would we know who they are?
I think so, but I can't say because I think I signed it.
NDA.
NDA.
Yeah, yeah.
That's fine.
So have you watched that new season of the Kardashians, Charlie?
I haven't.
Not the new one.
So they all basically have a private jet now.
And when I see it, I'm just like, that is the most bizarre lifestyle.
But for you, you've done it.
But you don't work for them anymore.
So you don't get to go on private jets anymore.
It must have ruined you on normal travel with us peasants.
Well, I was actually a student at the time.
So I was living in halls of residence.
And in my summer, they would fly me to America.
And I'd be spending my summer on private yachts.
God, you must be a good nanny.
You must be a really good nanny.
Charlie, what would you rather?
Looking after someone else's kids
on a private jet
or flying normal economy
by yourself?
Private jet for sure.
It's that good.
It's that good.
It's that good.
Okay, Charlie, hey, thanks for the insight.
We really appreciate it.
Thanks, Charlie.
No worries, guys.
There you go.
Something for you to aspire to.
Mate, I'd be happy with premium economies.
All right, mate, calm down.
We might be able to get you an Uber Black to the airport.
Wait, dreams are free, okay?
Brianne Clint, we're going to talk to Dean McCarthy next.
Rita Ora
has addressed vintage beef
actually, that her and Rihanna
fell out a long time ago when they were both
on Jay-Z's Rock Nation label.
Is it true? Does Rihanna and
Rita Ora hate each other? Dean's going to tell us next.
Brianne Clint from iHeartRadio.
This is the latest
live from LA with
Dean McCarthy.
Speaking of Rihanna, Rita Ora has addressed age-old rumours that her and Rihanna don't get along, Dean.
Yeah, here's the situation.
So to refresh everyone's memory, Rihanna and Rita were both signed
with Jay-Z's record label years ago.
And at the time, Rita filed a lawsuit against the record label
saying that she was essentially neglected because they were spending all of their time and resources on Rihanna.
She's probably not wrong about that.
And I think they actually countersued her as well because they said she hadn't released enough music.
So everyone was like, Rita and Rihanna must absolutely hate each other.
Oh, my goodness.
Well, Rita has finally discussed it.
I don't think Rihanna's ever discussed it. And Rita's come out saying like, she really, all she said was like, you
know, they just like to pit women against each other. I've got nothing against Rihanna.
I like her music and that kind of thing. And she's just kind of said like, it really wasn't
a beef between us and everyone wanted it to be a beef between us because that's a better
headline. But really, her beef was with Jay-Z's record label.
It's a classy way to deal with it.
I like that.
It is.
But, you know,
I do see what she's saying.
They do try and do that a lot in media.
Yeah.
Where they try and pit the women against each other.
Remember Taylor and Katy Perry?
Oh, it's just constant.
Yeah, yeah. I don't know why they do it
because it makes good headlines, I guess.
I don't know.
Bold move to sue Jay-Z.
Like, you want to go in with your eyes open into that situation.
And I only say that because dude's a billionaire, you know?
He's got a lot of money.
He's a very powerful man.
But, I mean, if you know that you want to fight for justice,
then I guess you've got to do it.
The interview that that quote came from is a new Louis Theroux series,
which looks really good. I love Louis Theroux series, which looks really good.
I love Louis Theroux.
You know how he always looks at weird parts of society?
Now he's just doing one-on-one interviews with really famous people.
He's done one with Dame Judi Dench.
I love that.
I'd definitely tune in for that.
It looks very, very good.
Yeah, for sure.
That's the latest live out of LA with our Hollywood correspondent,
Dean McCartney.
Let's talk about X because December, I don't know if you know this, is the...
Break-up season.
Break-up season.
Not only is it the festive season, it is the break-up season.
You've spent the last two months in the gym getting hot for summer.
You've got new wardrobe sorted.
You've got your festival tickets booked.
And you're like, you know what would go well with this outfit?
No boyfriend!
And you just want to live your life.
Yeah.
There are statistics around it.
No, there is actually statistics.
We joke, but there are statistics around it.
I think, I can't remember the exact day,
but it's like a producer, Brooke, what day was it?
11th.
December the 11th.
December the 11th.
Is the most likely day.
Two weeks.
To be broken up with throughout the year. We should do something on the radio on the 11th. December the 11th. Is the most likely day to be broken up with throughout the year.
We should do something on the radio on the 11th.
We should do a breakup hotline.
Like, do you want to call in and break up with your partner live on air?
Oh, I don't want to be a part of that.
Oh, grim.
Hi, it's Brooke.
And I just want to say to Gavin, thanks for a great three years,
but I'm out of here, baby.
I think last year we actually did Have You Been Broken Up With Today?
Call Us.
Yeah.
Brooke, have you got a boyfriend?
He's a part-time lover, yeah.
He's a part-time.
You're new to radio and you're interning here at ZM.
Are you keen to break up with him on the radio on December 11th?
I could give it a whirl.
You could give it a whirl? Good attitude. Last time I did it on his birthday, so yeah. You break up with him on the radio on December 11th? I could give it a whirl. You could give it a whirl?
Good attitude.
Last time I did it on his birthday, so yeah.
You broke up with him on his birthday?
Yeah, yeah.
Savage.
That's a whole other thing.
Wait, same guy?
Same guy, different day, same problem that we break up on.
You'll break up with him on the 11th of December and he'll go, oh, again.
And that's the day before my birthday, so full circle.
Hey.
Hey.
I think you can live your best life on your birthday.
All right, let's put that in the, let's workshop that.
You shared something really interesting with me off air where you were like,
because we were talking about X,
because it is the most likely month to be broken up with on.
And you said, I don't think men get X.
Yes, my new theory.
You don't think any man can get the ick?
Towards women. I can't speak for my gay brothers, but men in heterosexual relationships, I don't
believe they can get the ick.
I disagree with you.
But you're not allowed to disagree with me because I'm speaking for my community over
here.
I'm allowed to have my opinion.
Yeah, you are.
I don't reckon men get the yak.
I reckon they think that they get the yak, but men get annoyed or they get frustrated.
They don't get the yak.
It's not the same thing because the yak is like a – and I've listened to you girls talk about the yak.
It's like a – you can't even explain it.
And all of a sudden this person who you were so into, you're like,
I never want you to touch me ever again.
It'll explain this story because a woman has said that she got a very early morning breakup text
from a man that she'd been dating for a few weeks.
So still in that ick danger zone period.
Sure.
Where he said he wanted to end things over what she
decided she wanted on her
pizza the night before.
He said he wanted to break up with her because of her pizza
topping. He said that
her putting anchovies on
her pizza had given him, and I
quote, given him the ick
and he didn't want to pursue anything
further. Right, he's cheating on her.
He's found somebody else, he's bored, he's moving on. He's cheating on her. He's found somebody else.
He's bored.
He's moving on.
He's just deflecting with the pizza.
No man, no man would ever give up whatever he's doing with that woman over anchovies.
Absolutely no man.
I promise you.
Maybe you just have never experienced the ick.
Maybe it's just you.
Maybe you've never experienced it, which is a great thing.
I wish I'd never experienced it.
But I have.
My suggestion is that men may think they get the ick,
but I don't think men get the ick in the same way that women get the ick.
I don't think men get the ick towards women.
Okay.
But I'll park it.
0800-DIAL-ZM.
I want to ask people, has this happened to you where you've got the ick over something really dumb?
Yeah.
And you know that it's stupid and you know that it's like minor.
Yeah.
But you can't help it.
But the relationship had to end.
And you got the ick and you can't help it.
You can remain anonymous.
That's fine.
Yeah.
You can text us on 9696 or you can call us 0800 dial ZM.
Bree and Clint.
The ick's are coming through thick and fast.
The ick and fast.
Thick and fast.
Can I read you my favourite text?
Yeah.
You asked, what's the really minor thing that somebody did that gave you the ick?
And someone said, I get the ick every month for about a week with my husband.
Relatable.
Relatable. Relatable.
Someone else said he tripped up the stairs getting onto the bus,
gave me major ick, couldn't handle it.
I get it.
Like, I get it.
Has anybody disagreed with me about my theory that men don't actually get the ick?
No.
Well, yes, there's quite a few people coming through that do disagree
and someone said the ick is real for us males.
And I got the ick with an ex whose legs were too white.
Oh.
Well, that would be me because my legs are so white.
Me too.
I'm basically, this time of year when it's short season,
I'm basically translucent.
Same.
You know that scene
when Jacob takes off his shirt
and he starts sparkling?
I glitter.
Was it Jacob?
Edward.
Edward.
Yeah.
You and I are both Edward.
Like Taylor Swift said,
I shimmer.
We want to know
the really minor thing
that gave you the ick.
Olivia's here.
Kia ora, Liv.
Hi, Liv.
Hi, guys.
How are you going?
Good, mate.
Tell us, what was the tiny thing that gave you the ick?
That's really stupid.
But I just hate when men roll their, like, scrunch up their hoodie sleeves.
And I was dating a guy and he did it.
And it just gave me the biggest ick.
I couldn't continue.
Pushing up his hoodie sleeves.
Yeah, like when you scrunch up the sleeves of your hoodie.
If you're hot, just take it off.
That's what it comes down to because I was like,
what is it about the aesthetic?
It's a thing.
Okay, right.
Maybe it's a survival thing where your brain is kind of like,
this guy would not survive.
I love it.
Yeah, he can't control his temperature.
He's no good.
There's a lot of fashion-based ones.
Someone said he was wearing all brown hiking gear,
pants pulled up and top tucked in.
Instant ick when I turned up for the walk.
Oh, it was for a walk?
Oh, that's a bit rough.
Someone else said he bought a pillow for me to have at his house.
We were only dating for about two months,
but I'm a snail and my brain interpreted it
as a stage five clinger.
So you ran.
You ran for your life.
Ella is here. Hi, Ella. Hi, Ella.
Hi. Tell us, mate,
what was the small thing that gave you the ick?
When a guy runs
for the bus.
When he's late for the bus. Yeah, this one
comes up a lot. I've seen this one memed before.
You know when I give myself the ick, Ella,
when I have run for public transport
and I've got a backpack on?
I agree, and it's like bouncing everywhere.
I give myself the ick.
You know how you run funny
when you've got a backpack on?
And you don't really have to, I figured.
Me too.
Yeah.
Oh my God, have you figured this out too?
Yes.
I think you and I figured this out walking to the car park one day.
And I was like, look, you can run actually normally.
You can run normally and it's actually better for the backpack.
Yeah.
Yeah, right.
Wild.
Okay, thanks, Ella.
Someone else texted through and they said,
my partner at the time picked his nose and ate it while we were watching a romantic movie
and he didn't realise I was watching him and I got the ick and left.
I said my mum had had an emergency at home.
See, I feel like that one is not as irrational as you think.
That's not like a minor thing.
You're just like, this guy's a bit grody,
so I'm going to break up with him.
Someone said, I was dating a really nice guy in my 20s
and we went out one night and he had the ugliest shoes on
and I told him the next day that it just isn't working.
Listen to how small this one is.
They say, I got the ick because of the way he smirked at me one time.
Couldn't unsee it.
Lol.
Really?
I bet he thought he was being like...
Cool?
Twee?
Yeah, sort of like, hey.
Yeah.
Hey, girl.
Amelia's here.
Hi, Amelia.
Hi, Amelia.
Hiya.
These are all girls. I'm just going to point out, Brie. All girls calling through Hi, Amelia. Hi, Amelia. Hiya. These are all girls.
I'm just going to point out, Brie, all girls calling through with the yuck.
No men.
A lot of guys on the text machine, though.
What about that guy that said, woke up and then morning breath put me in a total state of shock,
never felt the same way and ended the relationship within a week.
I'm a guy, by the way.
That's the yuck.
That's the yuck.
This is cracking me up.
These are so funny.
Amelia, tell us.
Amelia, what's yours?
What gave you the ick?
So I was dating this guy.
It's been about four weeks
and then I just got
the massive ick
because he was just
way too nice.
He was just too nice.
Yeah, I've heard about this too.
No!
This is the nice guys finish last situation, isn't it?
And you don't, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Can I ask Amelia, can we test the theory?
How old were you at the time?
I was 27.
Okay, so you weren't super young.
There's a story that goes with it.
So I got the ick.
I was like, nah, I'm used to bad boys.
Like, this is, he's just five feet nice.
So I called it for like a week and a half
and then like took some time out.
Came back, came back to it
and like we've been together 10 years, married six.
Yay!
So it worked out in the end.
Wait, Amelia.
You are the,
you are totally the exception to the rule.
Nah, I reckon they've got a deal.
I reckon Amelia's like, I love you, but I need you to just, like,
make me think that you're going to cheat on me once every six months.
You know, just change it up on me.
I need to be a little bit insecure.
Just treat me like crap every now and then, please.
Amelia, you are like the unicorn.
No one ever gets over the ick.
That's incredible.
Oh, I know, I know,
but I thought that like
if I always do
what I've always done,
then I'm...
You'll always get the same result.
That is so mature from you.
Well done.
What about this one, Amelia?
This will take us out.
Would this give you the ick?
Someone's texted and they said
he was jumping on a trampoline
and then he picked his nose.
No.
Definitely.
A lot of picking of the nose. I feel like
stay clear.
Stay out of the nose. Make the call, Amelia.
And good for you. Bye.
Good news for the nice guys, I guess.
I mean, you do have to get
dumped first and hope that the person
has like a total transformational
epiphany about their life.
But, you know, it can happen. It can happen. Amelia is, you know...
She's living proof.
Living proof.
Technically, you're not meant to put your Christmas tree up
until the 1st of December.
But I saw a lot of Instagram story content over the weekend
of people showing off their beautiful trees that they've put up.
Because YOLO, right?
Who cares?
Put it up whenever.
What's really going to happen if you put your. Who cares? Put it up whenever.
What's really going to happen if you put your tree up early?
Nothing. Is it bad luck?
I hope not because our tree
is up. Well,
too late now. We've got a black
Christmas tree which I don't love.
That's a weird colour Christmas
tree. It's a hangover from COVID
when, remember there was no
stock of anything in the country? And we decided we wanted a Christmas tree in December. a hangover from COVID. Remember there was no stock of anything in the country
and we decided we wanted a Christmas tree in December?
Just go cut one down.
I drove round...
What?
That's what we did.
My whole childhood.
We'd go drive around the road and my dad would go,
you reckon that one looks good?
And then me and my dad would jump off the back of the ute
and we'd axe this tree down on the side of the boat.
My issue with a real Christmas tree is we don't live on a farm.
It's the admin of disposing of it afterwards.
You just chuck it into the bush.
I've seen those trees.
They're still there like four years later.
I mean, that is true.
Just brown and brittle.
That is true.
Anyway, put it up over the weekend.
And I've got kids, little kids,
so it kind of is the joy of Christmas,
is putting up the Christmas tree.
Also the frustration of how slow they are.
And, you know, it's a whole thing.
You should just lock them in a pen and let them watch.
Let them do it.
Yeah.
Anyway, it got up and we decorated the Christmas tree.
And it made me think about how the tree gets decorated
because while you do want the kids to put the decorations on
and when you're a kid you want to put the decorations on, the end of the day mum and dad actually want the tree to look
nice so oh mate nah that's gone that's time for you no no no no no this was gonna say gone is the
time of you and your wife lucy having a good looking christmas tree that is not what it's
about no i don't think it is gone because wanted to ask, because you would have decorated the tree as a kid in your house, right?
Yeah, it looked like crap.
Yeah, but do you...
Every year.
But do you honestly not think that when you went to bed, your mum redistributed the decorations?
Nah, she didn't care.
And redecorated the Christmas tree?
Nah, she couldn't be bothered.
Really?
Nah, she didn't care.
As long as it was up, that's all she cares about.
I reckon my mum did that every year after we went to bed.
She's like, oh, boys, it looks gorgeous.
All right, off to bed.
And then basically I reckon she redid the tree from top to toe
because we were useless.
Useless.
All the decorations in one corner of the tree,
no decorations in the other corner of the tree.
Most of the time because we'd cut down a real tree,
it wouldn't even fit in our living room.
So then Dad would have to cut the top half off.
You're too busy, like, getting snakes out of the tree.
You're like, ah, Dad!
Dad, this one is somebody's home!
There'd be spiders in it.
We were back home in Aussie.
Yeah.
There's spiders crawling out of it.
No shit, right?
Most of the time, because we'd put it up
at the start of December, it'd be dead.
By the...
By Christmas.
By Christmas.
It'd be dead.
It's so hot in Australia.
It's dropping needles everywhere. Did you not put it in a bucket of water?
Yeah, but, I mean. Didn't help.
Didn't help. That's the beauty of having a
black Christmas tree, mate. You can't tell.
It will never die, and at the same time
it looks like it's always been dead.
It's been burnt for years.
The environmental side of me
is like, just be happy with it, okay?
It's really bad for the environment.
Nobody wants to buy a secondhand tree.
I'd love to see what a black tree looks like.
Oh, come on around, mate.
It looks like we've had a fire at our house.
Yeah, because I've seen the white ones and they kind of look like snowy.
Very American, the white ones, because that's a winter Christmas, right?
Yeah.
Like, I kind of get the white ones, but the black ones. This looks like a burnt tree.
There's a reason why they were the only ones left at Mitre 10 in Christmas 2020.
Ah well.
It's up.
Next on the show, very shortly actually, we're going to play Guess That Voice.
We'll tell you to call.
You can play Guess That Voice with us and win yourself some free KFC chicken dollars on the show soon.
Free and Clint.
Let's play Guess The Voice.
Welcome to the game show where we try and guess celebrities' voices without seeing them.
Born from lockdown this game.
It was.
When everyone was wearing masks and you couldn't see their face.
And you're like, who's that?
You had to recognise them from their voice.
Especially if they're wearing a hat, sunglasses.
I saw a guy at the traffic lights on Sunday,
out where I live, busy intersection,
for cars, not for people,
standing in the middle of the intersection of the traffic lights waiting to cross,
nobody around him, full face mask.
Oh, yeah?
What's that up to, man?
Like full N95.
Maybe he was working.
In the middle of the day, outdoors.
Could have been working with asbestos.
Not in the middle of the intersection, he wasn't. Anyway, let's meet the people we're playing with today. Samantha's going to play Guess That Voice the day, outdoors. Could have been working with asbestos. Not in the middle of the intersection, he wasn't.
Anyway, let's meet the people we're playing with today.
Samantha's going to play Guess That Voice.
Hi, Samantha.
Hi, Samantha.
Hey, guys.
Would you like to be on Team Bree or Team Clint?
Ooh, let's go Team Bree.
Team Bree.
Lovely, Samantha.
Jump aboard.
Which means, Ishmael, you're on my team, okay?
Sweet.
Cool name, Ishmael, can I say?
Oh, thank you.
Very cool.
Let's go to producer Ella, who is running the game for us today.
Hi.
Hi, Ella.
What's our theme?
Oh, I love the theme.
So it's singers about to go on tour or touring right now.
Okay.
Okay.
All right.
Isn't that good?
That does not narrow it down at all.
But I love it.
It's good.
Thank you.
Samantha and Ishmael, Brie and I are going to go first,
and then it'll be over to you two to have a go, okay?
Sounds good.
All right, here we go.
First one, Celeb One.
Here you go, Brie.
There was a moment where actually it caused me a lot of grief.
Brie!
Do a leap up.
Yeah.
Done.
Is that what she sounds like?
Do a leap up, baby!
I was being bullied online.
It wasn't very nice.
But now I'm like, I can look at it from a different perspective.
One kiss is all it takes.
Fall in love with me.
I'm Dua Lipa.
It's me, Dua Lipa.
Okay, well done.
Nice, Samantha.
We're on the board.
Samantha and Ishmael, you guys will need to buzz in with your names for this one.
Okay, here we go.
Celeb two.
Who's this?
But I've found that the more I write, the more I keep.
Mm-hmm.
Taylor Swift.
Got it.
Nice, Samantha.
I don't know what's been going on, but in the last six or seven years,
I've just been constantly making things,
and the more things I make, the happier I am.
Yeah, yeah, Taylor.
All right.
Oh, she's great.
I am Samantha.
Sorry, that was a Sex and the City reference.
Right.
Okay.
Ishmael, we're going to need to pull this one out of the bag, man.
We're going to really need to dig deep.
We're going to have to go back to back to back.
Yes, 2-0.
2-0 to Bree and Samantha.
Here is Celeb 3, Bree and Clint.
Here you go.
Well, I think making my first record was hard because...
Yeah? Who is that?
Oh, actually, I've been thinking too early.
Is that Child?
Carly Rae Jepsen? No.
Not touring yet,
is she? I get a free guess, right?
Yeah. That's a hard one.
Touring here in New Zealand?
Ooh! Don't know
about that. Who did you just think of? I know who it
is. Okay.
Clint has a guess and then I can have a guess?
No, then we start the clip again.
Yeah, we'll start the clip.
Come on, Clint.
You've got three, two, one.
Nah, I've got nothing.
Nothing?
Okay.
Play it again.
Well, I think making my first record was hard.
Yeah?
Jojo Siwa?
No.
Jojo Siwa.
She was so confident she had it right too.
She is touring.
I got nothing.
I'm going to need to start the club again.
Well, I think making my first record was hard because I wanted to be a songwriter and I
was 15 and they were throwing their songs at me and pitching their songs to me.
Clint?
Mm?
Olivia Rodrigo?
No.
I'm going to go on.
I guess.
I'm going.
Who was it? Who was it?
Avril Lavigne.
Oh!
Wait again?
Well, I think making my first record was hard
because I wanted to be a songwriter
and I was 15 and they were throwing their songs at me
and pitching their songs to me.
You can hear the Canadian accent now.
Buzzy G.
Okay, Samantha and Ishmael, it's over to you guys.
All right, come on, Samantha.
Okay.
Still 2-0 to Bree and Samantha.
Here is the next celeb.
My lyrics have probably changed a bit over time
in terms of my vocabulary growing.
Considering that I started out when I was 19.
Ishmael?
Ishmael, who's that?
Is that Rita Ora?
Oh!
Samantha, do you begin?
This person's not touring.
Come on, Samantha.
You got it. What did you say? This person's not touring. Come on, Samantha. You got it.
What did you say?
Adele.
She's got it.
And they are touring.
She's not touring.
She's doing a Vegas residency.
Well, that's still performing on stage.
It's a live show.
Yeah.
Opposite of touring.
She's staying in one place.
It's a live show.
I'm just better because we lost 3-0.
Samantha, thank you for carrying the team.
You've won 50 KFC chicken dollars.
Nice work.
Awesome.
Thanks so much.
Very exciting.
You were very good at the game.
She was good, yeah.
Very good.
Ishmael, you were good too, man.
Cheers, mate.
Yeah, cool, cool.
Just got to pump the tyres up, you know.
Avril Lavigne.
That was harder than I thought.
That shocked me.
I didn't even know she was touring.
Bree and Clint, we're back after this.
Bree and Clint.
Were you born with something really rare and unusual?
We want to hear from you this afternoon.
It's about this girl, a baby girl that's recently been born in Mexico.
And her story has done the rounds around the world after a journal of paediatric surgery has reported that they removed a 5.7 centimetre tail.
A tail.
5.7 centimetres.
Quite.
That's a long tail.
Imagine a little baby.
Yeah.
It's quite a long tail.
Yeah.
Isn't it?
I mean, 5.7 centimetres is pretty big.
Well, for a baby. According to, well. For a tail tail. Yeah. I mean, 5.7 centimetres is pretty big. Well, for a baby.
According to, well, just...
For a tail.
For anybody.
5.7 centimetres is arguably plenty.
I mean, maybe for a baby.
Anyway, back to the tail.
Yeah.
You told me about this earlier today and you were quite adamant.
You were like, people used to have tails.
I think so.
Yeah?
Yeah, well, maybe I'm wrong.
But I feel like if you look, there's a reason why the spine is called the tailbone at the end.
Why is it called that?
Well, maybe because it's in the position that a tail is in.
I don't know.
I don't know.
Why is it called the tailbone?
Because the tail used to be attached to that.
Well, monkeys have tails, and if that's what we've evolved from,
then quite possibly.
And maybe we didn't need it after we came down from the trees.
Yeah.
We didn't need the tail anymore.
We didn't need to climb anymore.
Someone will actually know.
We don't need to theorise on this.
Back to the girl.
It's going to make lots of things hard for her growing up, like jeans.
No, she's had it cut off.
Oh. Yeah, they's had it cut off.
Oh.
Yeah, they successfully cut it off.
Here's the interesting part, though.
Yeah.
They reckon it's incredibly rare.
Like, there's not many people.
I'd agree with them.
Especially that long.
Yeah.
They said it's a condition.
I've made two people.
Neither of them had tails.
So, yeah, I'd agree it's pretty rare. It's a condition called true tail,
and apparently when it was pinched, she would cry.
So it had feeling in it?
So it had feeling.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I wonder if, because obviously the parents have to make the executive decision
and go, oh, we'll whip that off.
Go and get rid of that.
Do you think when she grows up, she's going to be like,
why did you cut off my thing?
That was my special thing.
No, I don't think she will be.
That was the thing that made me different.
I could have been huge on TikTok as tail girl.
Nah, I feel like she'd be fine with it.
Right.
You know?
Well, you don't know.
This is the thing.
And that's what's hard about being a parent.
You have to make these decisions at the moment.
Yeah, these decisions are everything.
I'm going to tell my daughter that she had a tail when she was born
and that we chose to cut it off.
I'm going to say, babe, yeah, you had one, but we took it off.
I sometimes worry for your children.
She'll believe it too.
I know she will.
She'll believe it for a long time.
I know she will.
I thought we could ask people, share your unique and unusual things that you were born with.
Yeah.
Because the human body is quite interesting.
Like were you born without an appendix?
Oh, okay.
So born with something or born without something as well.
We'll take anything.
Just something that's rare or different.
Like more than 10 fingers and toes. That kind of thing. Just something that's rare or different. Like more
than 10 fingers and toes.
That kind of thing.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
0800 dials at M. And does it have a name?
Because True Tail is not as exciting
as a name for that condition as I thought
it would be. Does your thing have a medical
name? I'd love someone to call who was
born with a tail. Nah, surely there's
not. Nah, there wouldn't be. There would be.
You reckon?
Yeah, I reckon.
Okay.
For sure.
0800 dials at M or you can text us on 9696.
Were you born with something unique, rare or unusual?
We'll take your calls next.
Bree and Clint.
A baby girl over in Mexico has been born
with an incredibly rare condition called true tail
with an appendage the length of 5.7 centimetres had to be removed.
If you say tail and I think people think of like a little nubbin
sticking out at the base of the spine.
It's quite long.
5.7 centimetres on a baby.
Yeah.
It's quite long.
I've seen it.
It looks like a tail.
Yeah.
But they've successfully removed it. It's quite long. It's a tail. I've seen it. It looks like a tail. Yep. Yeah.
But they've successfully removed it.
They whipped it off.
And so we're asking you this afternoon on 0800DIALZM.
Got a tail?
Well, that.
Yeah.
But also, were you born with something unusual?
Other than a tail.
Other than a tail.
We'll start with Bryce.
Kia ora, Bryce.
Hi, Bryce.
Yeah, g'day.
How you going?
You've got a tail, we hear. No, no. I was born with an extra finger. Yeah, g'day, how you going? You've got a tail we hear.
No, no, I was born with an extra finger.
Oh, tell us, which one?
It grew out of my little pinky finger.
Okay.
Out of the side of it?
Yeah, out the side.
Oh yeah.
There's a little nub there now, they had to take it off.
Yeah.
Which is a shame, because it could have been quite good for playing banjo or... Or pool.
Yeah.
Imagine another one to rest the pool cue between or something like that.
Think of a few things.
We're allowed to joke about it because Bryce called in.
Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
Did you have it removed, Bryce?
Yeah, well, no.
My parents did when I was a baby.
They thought it would have been too hard to buy gloves.
Well, that's true.
You're not wrong there.
What about mittens?
You could have gotten a pair of mittens.
Well, you could have got mittens.
It's funny.
A lot of people, when I tell them and I show them the stub,
they go, you'd be good at playing banjo.
And I say, well, I don't know.
You also could have never have given anyone a high five.
No, well, that's true.
Bonus.
Yeah, high six.
Yeah, high six.
Did they keep it?
Serious question.
Did they keep the finger?
No.
No.
Got rid of it.
Do you ever wish that they didn't get rid of it?
Yeah, he does.
I do.
Yeah.
Sometimes, yeah.
Good conversation starter.
Absolutely.
Yeah.
Okay, thank you, Bryce. We appreciate that. Let's go to Jaleesa. Hi conversation starter. Absolutely. Yeah. Okay, thank you, Bryce.
We appreciate that.
Let's go to Jaleesa.
Hi, Jaleesa.
Hi, Jaleesa.
Kia ora, Bree, Clint.
How are you?
We're really good.
Thank you for calling.
We're asking what's a really rare thing that you were born with, Jaleesa.
I was actually born with one of my twin brother's ribs.
Wait, what?
In your rib cage?
Where was it?
Yeah, in my rib cage.
So I had an extra clavicle rib up the top,
sort of near my collarbone, and he was missing one.
That is crazy.
Wait.
That is crazy.
Are you guys, what's the word?
I know you couldn't be because you're a girl.
Lisa, are you talking about
the extra rib
up in your neck? Yeah.
I have that. I found out, remember?
We talked about it
on the show. You need to count your brothers.
Get your brother to go and do an x-ray for him
for us.
You can actually see he's got like a wee
gap. I'm not
religious, but Bree and I both were raised,
we went to Catholic schools.
This is very Adam and Eve.
You know how Adam gave a rib to Eve and that's how she was created?
Or should we say Eve?
It was so funny too.
Mum wanted to keep the, because I got a rib removed and the extra one.
Yeah.
And she's like,
I'll keep them
or make a bone carving out of it
or something.
Beautiful.
It comes back
in one of those wee pottles
like the urine sample pottles.
Yeah.
It's like mints.
Like mints?
Yeah, like ground up.
Oh, no.
Melissa.
No necklace for mum.
So what did mum make out of it?
Anything?
Oh, it's in the garden, Nan's garden.
Beautiful.
Lovely.
Okay, hey, thanks for calling, Jaleesa.
We appreciate it.
No worries.
Thanks, Jaleesa.
See you, mate.
Let's go to Jono, finally.
Jono, what's the really rare thing that you were born with?
I've got an extra nipple.
Oh, yeah, nice.
Like Harry Styles, Jono.
Which side's it on? Like Harry Styles. It's on the left. Is it a extra nipple. Oh, yeah, nice. Like Harry Styles, Jono. Which side's it on?
Like Harry Styles.
It's on the left.
Is it a real nipple?
Because I've seen a lot of people with big moles masquerading as their nipples.
Yours is a real nipple?
Yeah, it's an oven.
It's like the old Chandler Bing from Friends had one as well.
Jono, is it all nipple, no areola?
Or you got an areola too? It's like two nipples on one areola. Is it all nipple, no areola, or you got an areola too?
It's like two nipples on one areola.
I don't want to get too sensitive or personal, but is it...
Sensitive, Jono?
Yeah, does it...
It's just normal, it's just there.
Right.
So it's not as sensitive as your other ones?
No, it's just the same.
Could you pierce it?
Strangely enough, I did pierce it, yes, back in the 90s.
You pierced your third nipple.
Did you pierce all three or just the third one?
No, just that one.
Well, that's your spare one.
If something goes wrong, it's not a big deal.
Yeah, okay.
Hey, thank you, Jono.
That is fascinating, man.
We really appreciate it.
A few people texting through on this.
Someone said, my son was born with one kidney. Oh, thank you, Jono. That is fascinating, man. We really appreciate it. A few people texting through on this. Someone said, my son was born with one kidney.
Oh, wow.
Which is quite common, actually.
Not super common, but I have heard of that.
Someone else said, I was born without one of my calf muscles.
Right.
Without your calf muscle?
Yeah, interesting.
Okay, yeah.
Someone else said, my brother was born with only one eye.
He had the opening for the second eye,
but no eye socket.
So he had to go through multiple surgeries
to build an eye socket.
He now has a glass eye.
That's incredible.
That's amazing.
We've got one text here from someone who said,
I have triple X syndrome.
It means I have three X chromosomes
over the usual two for females.
I don't know what that means,
but it just makes me think of that Vin Diesel movie.
Triple X.
Triple X.
I don't think it's the same thing.
No, I don't think it's the same thing, but you know.
I think it's something else.
But which came first, the syndrome or the movie?
That's what you've got to ask yourself.
Vin Diesel's pretty old.
That's true.
He's getting up there.
Does he predate science, though?
Yeah, maybe not.
Bree and Clint.
Hey.
It's my birthday.
It's my birthday. Bree to do a birthday banger.
We'll take your birthdays, figure out what was the song that was number one on your 16th and then we'll play our favourite one in full.

This would be inescapable for you
Oh yeah, definitely
Well, it's back

Saturday was 10 and a half.
Sunday, not so good.
Oh, because Saturday was 10 and a half?
Good weather.
Oh, okay, right.
I have to agree with you, Duncan.
I was going to say you were a hung dog millionaire because of the ten and a half.
No, no worries.
He was dunking a few beers.
Hey, Duncan, what's your birthday, mate?
9th of March, 1962.
All right.
You were 16, Duncan, in 1978.
And let me take you back to your 16th birthday because this was number one.

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
We love the Bee Gees on this show.
Duncan, do you like this?
Bit of disco?
Yeah, bit of disco.
Isn't it great?
Duncan, I love your birthday banger.
The Bee Gees, Barry Gibbs falsetto.
Give it to me.
Did you have a pair of platform shoes when you were 16, Duncan?
No, I need a flared
jeans. Flared jeans. Oh, they're back
in fashion now, Duncan. Pull them out.
Get them out of the drawer. Okay, wait there.
We're going to do one more birthday banger for Courtney.
G'day, Courtney. Hello.
How are you? I'm good.
How are you? Good, thanks.
What did you get up to on the weekend, Court?
It was my

I've had it from my second bout.
Ah, she's out.
What did you do?
Anything special?
Freedom weekend.
No, nothing too special.
Just sort of felt alive.
That was good.
Went and stood really close to some strangers.
Exactly.
Welcome back to society, Courtney.
Let's celebrate with your birthday banger.
What's your birthday?
It's the 15th of February, 1985.
All right, that means you were 16 in 2001.
And back on your 16th birthday, this would have been number one.
One more time.
What a banger, Courtney.
Yeah, it's awesome.
It is awesome.
God, they were big, weren't they?
Yeah.
I love this for your birthday, banger.
I'm going to vote for it too.
I like it better than the other two songs,
so I vote Daft Punk for Courtney.
I'm going with you, Courtney.
A bit of Daft Punk for a Monday.
Sounds good to me.
Awesome.
I agree.
It's definitely the best.
Yeah, this is uplifting to get you home on a Monday.
Have a great week, Courtney.
Thanks for playing Birthday Banger.
Thanks, Court.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Brian Clint, here it is from 2001.
Daft Punk on ZM.
Brian Clint.
Brian Clint.
Doozer, that's Bad Memories.
Did you know, Bree, that if you break up with someone There's a boot camp that you can go to
A break up boot camp
I've never heard of it
But obviously there's money to be made
So tell me more
People do dumb things when they are heartbroken
And I feel like it's true to say that you will
At some points of the break up
You'll spend whatever money is required to make yourself feel better, right?
Yeah, I think so.
If someone says to you, this is a magic cure to take away your heartache,
you'd go, you'd just take my money.
Have you been through true heartbreak, you think?
Yeah, I think so, yeah.
Yeah?
Yeah.
For how long were you sad?
It's not about me.
No, this is what we do.
We share parts of our past.
A good couple of weeks.
Oh, that's not true heartbreak.
No, it was.
Oh, well, I guess it could be for you.
Yeah.
When I think of true heartbreak, I don't think,
I was fine after a couple of weeks.
It was all good.
It was a rough couple of weeks.
I bet, yeah.
How long was yours?
You're still grieving.
Oh, months and months. You're four years into a new relationship of weeks. I bet. How long was yours? You're still grieving. Oh, months and months.
You're four years into a new relationship and you're still upset.
The worst breakup I ever had, I still remember being in my room
and feeling like I was never going to feel normal again.
Like you've wasted everything.
I know that feeling.
I felt truly broken.
You go, I have ruined my one chance at love and I will never love again. I know that feeling. I felt truly broken. I have ruined my one
chance at love and I will never love again.
I cried, I'm not joking,
where I reckon I cried for a month straight.
And I reckon I felt sad
for a good year.
Like that was my true
heartbreak. Yeah.
That sounds brutal. It was.
Mine did not last that long.
Mine lasted until some of the boys came around and were like,
all right, mate, someone's thought this shit out.
Let's go.
I'm happy for you.
Do I think you've endured true heartbreak?
Could be.
Let me tell you about this boot camp, okay?
Amy Chan is a relationship therapist, and she puts this boot camp on.
It's a retreat where 21 newly single people go,
and they stay somewhere, and they do a bunch of exercises to get themselves fighting fit again,
to get them over their relationship.
So you're putting a bunch of people who've just been through bad breakups
who are all single and vulnerable into the same place.
Yeah, I feel like that could be good for people trying to get over a breakup.
Well, listen to what they do.
They will see a sex therapist who goes through their sex life with them.
I don't really want to talk about that after a breaker.
Me neither.
But I'm not the expert.
This person is.
You'll do a primal screaming workshop.
That sounds like a bit of fun.
Until you get it all out of your system.
Screw you, Wendy!
There's a burning ceremony
where you write a letting go letter
to your ex
and then you throw it in the fire.
I've done this with friends before.
Have you?
Yeah.
Did it help?
We had, yeah,
one of my friends
who was really struggling,
we got a bunch of stuff
and she wrote a letter
and we burnt it out
on the barbecue.
Really?
Yeah.
I know some girls
who got their boyfriend's stuff
and set it on fire
and they said that made them feel better too.
That's a different burning therapy, okay? The smell of a burning Xbox really is something. Yeah. I know some girls who got their boyfriend's stuff and set it on fire and they said that made them feel better too. That's a different burning therapy, okay?
The smell of a burning Xbox really is something.
You'll listen to a professional dominatrix
who will explain how, according to them,
we are all in bondage in some way.
Interesting.
Deep, eh?
I don't know if that's what I need after a breakup though, but okay.
So this boot camp has been running since 2017.
They've only just allowed men to start attending.
Oh, that's a bit sexist.
Yeah, right?
Isn't it?
Well, listen to me before though.
They don't know.
Well, after listening to you true heartbreak two weeks,
you probably don't need to go to the boot camp.
It's not so much about getting over your ex
as it is about preparing you for your next relationship
so it can be as successful as possible.
So it makes you have a hard look at yourself
and go, am I? Because you've got to be
open to the idea that maybe you were the problem in the
relationship. You always have to reflect
and no one's perfect.
So it's always two people to tango.
If you want to get down on this boot camp, it's
in America, but I mean, I don't know how desperate you are.
The Renew
Breakup Boot Camp costs nearly $6,500.
Plus flights, obviously.
Well, at least I wouldn't be crying over the breakup.
I'd be crying over that bill.
Bree and Clint.
We were just talking about breakup boot camps, which is, you know, the way of the future in terms of dating.
Yeah. Get you ready for your next relationship the future in terms of dating. Yeah.
Are you ready for your next relationship?
Are you fighting for it?
Six and a half grand it'll cost you.
But I saw this...
Can't put a price on love.
Well, you can.
Six and a half grand for a breakup.
Yeah, actually, good point.
Yeah, good point.
I saw this thing online, which technically is kind of dating from the past, where it's
a bunch of old people, older people who live in a nursing home and they were
asked one question they were asked what is your best dating advice and i thought we could go
through a few of their answers because so when you say old how old are we talking like so our
first person her name's aileen and she's 90. Okay. Which is fairly, you know.
She lived through the Second World War.
She did.
So Aileen, who's 90, her dating advice is make sure he has a loaded wallet.
That's Aileen's.
Wait, is that advice for her or for him?
So she's saying date a guy with money?
Or is she saying don't send your husband out without some cash?
See, I don't know.
Yeah.
Because back then they didn't have F-Post cards.
And if you were sending your husband off to the pub,
you wanted to make sure he had enough money to get a ride home.
So I feel like it would work both ways.
But not too much to have too many beers.
Yeah.
Let's move on to Joyce.
Joyce is 88 years old.
And her dating advice answer was, yes please, I would like
to go on a date. Cute.
Which is very cute. Cute. She's so adorable.
That's Joyce. That relies
on them asking you though.
Yeah, I mean that is true. Well I guess you could
just walk into the room and say it. Yes please,
I would like to go on a date. You can ask someone
on a date. Yeah but I, but you know
if you're married you could just walk into the room and say
that. True. And then they'll go, oh shit, yeah, get my shit together. All
right. Yeah. Let's go. Um, let's move on to Marge. Her, she's 84 years old and her dating
advice is don't let the boys take advantage. Oh, okay. Girl power. That's pretty like stern
line from Marge, isn't it? Yeah. Hold your own. Let's get some from Tom, a male's perspective. He's 87 years old and he says treat your girl like royalty,
like a princess.
Good advice, Tom.
That's adorable from Tom.
He's so cute.
What about Joan?
She says she's 21.
She doesn't.
Her advice is have your affair while he's at war.
How did you know that?
No, she says try and behave yourself.
Oh, my God, I was close.
Yeah.
I was close, yeah.
That was from Joan.
Try and behave yourself, yeah.
June, she's 87 years old.
Her dating advice is don't.
Don't date.
Don't date.
That's what she says.
Okay.
Don't do it to yourself.
Yeah. And't do it to yourself. Yeah.
And that's it.
That's the advice from the people of the nursing home on dating.
I like that because you can just cherry pick the stuff that suits you and leave the rest behind.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Totally.
Yeah.
All right.
There you go.
