Starting point is 00:01:07 Yeah, same, same. Tomato, tomato. I said Pukaki. How much worse does Pukaki sound than Bukaki? Pukaki's worse than Bukaki. Is it called Bukaki? Wait. Ben, you're going to have to put a warning on the front of this.
Starting point is 00:01:20 Clearly I said Bugatti. Wait. That's what I said. Can you say it on here? You can't prove it. You can't prove it. I said Bugatti. No.
Starting point is 00:01:30 The car. Is it? Is Pukaki and like Pukaki? Can you talk next to your microphone, please? I like Pukaki and Pukaki different. I thought they were spelt the same. All right. Stop trying to.
Starting point is 00:01:44 Look, in fairness to me, I was singing a song where at home, you know when you make up funny lyrics and you sing it and you think you're so hilarious and then you forget that obviously those lyrics aren't appropriate for the radio.
Starting point is 00:01:59 Yeah. And then, you know, next minute you're saying Bukkake on the radio. Was this it? Yeah Bukkake on the floor That's right Why were we playing this song? You were talking about it because of Bruno Mars
Starting point is 00:02:17 Oh Right Bukkake on the floor is a very funny idea Ben, you're going to have to put a warning on the front of this So we'll do one now To be honest, it's just a word Oh, right. Bukkake on the floor is a very funny idea. Ben, you're going to have to put a warning on the front of this. So we'll do one now. To be honest, it's just a word. Yeah, I know, but you don't want parents to have to explain what that is.
Starting point is 00:02:34 Yeah, well, now you're making me feel even worse. No, no, no. On air, we can just glance over it, mate. You'll be fine. Hi, everybody. Oh, it's not good when you Google it. Hi, everybody. Don't Google it.
Starting point is 00:02:43 Oh, it's not good. Hi, everybody. Oh, it's it's not good hi everybody um oh it's terrible it's so bad there's a word in the podcast intro today uh which um if you don't want to have to explain it to your kids fast forward like five minutes and then you'll be past it and then we'll be fine and then there's also another time later in the podcast oh no that won't be in because it's about the box i don't put box stuff on the podcast the box oh all right but it was in leading into another game yes well there you go so well you've said already the podcast intro so so we could have got away with it we didn't have to bring it up at all no but then you clint turns around to produce anastasia straight away and goes hey produce, producer Anastasia, that's a TikTok.
Starting point is 00:03:30 Make that into a TikTok. Does anyone else have any of those that they used to sing? Probably not a good idea. Producer Ellie used to sing a lot of them. Oh, yeah. Oh, I like those. She used to sing. This is not appropriate. Yes, it is. She used to sing. This is not appropriate.
Starting point is 00:03:46 Yes, it is. She used to sing. Remember? Do you remember that about her? Yeah. She used to be like. Well, wouldn't she? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:03:52 It's actually a video of Ellie and I where we're trying to make producer Ben really uncomfortable. And we're just singing these horrific lyrics. And producer Ellie would sing stuff like, suck sucking on my titties like you wanted it wanted it. That is an Ellie classic actually. It's not even a parody. It's just Yeah is that just her just singing naughty things? So then she did it so much that
Starting point is 00:04:15 it got into like our common dialect so we would sing it out of context and people would be like what the hell is wrong with you? Like done it around the flat and they're like what the fuck was that? Kissing on my ass, kissing on my balls, kissing on my flaps and my labia. Stuff like that.
Starting point is 00:04:31 What a very talented lady Ellie is. Good times. Now this part needs a warning. Well, this shouldn't be all covered by our warning. We said five minutes, so should we cover it? So you can say whatever you want in this bit here because there's a warning no I feel like
Starting point is 00:04:46 I've done my dash for today yeah good decision um um um anything else
Starting point is 00:04:54 that needs to be covered off on this before we GTFO what'd you get your daughter for her birthday

Starting point is 00:05:07 The air fryer So the fun thing About the air fryer Is it beeps It makes noises It's on And it's got a little fan Inside it
Starting point is 00:05:15 I feel like I've got a higher standard For kids toys You friggin don't You suggested To get the kid a shoe No well that was a joke Clearly But like I said Get her something That works Easy bake oven You frigging don't. You suggested to get the kid a shoe. No, well, that was a joke, clearly.
Starting point is 00:05:25 But like I said, get her something that works. Hot wheels. Easy bake oven. Get her an easy bake oven. Hot wheels are cool. Air fryer. A kid's air fryer is the 2021 version of the easy bake oven. We don't even use the oven anymore.
Starting point is 00:05:39 We've got an air fryer. Do you even know what the easy bake oven did? Yeah, it baked things. It actually baked things with a light bulb. It was genius. Did you have one? No, but I always really wanted one. Did anyone outside of America have one?
Starting point is 00:05:51 Because they always talk about them on American shows. I don't know if they ever existed. I wanted one so bad. No, you know what you should get it? You should get it the Jojo Siwa Jeep. Oh, yeah. I want to get one of those Jeeps. But I don't know when to get it.
Starting point is 00:06:04 That thing's so cool. Because the to get in one of those Jeeps. But I don't know where I want to get it. That thing's so cool. Because the cool thing about those kids' Jeeps is you can buy them the car that you want, but you can't afford. So you want a G-Wagon? You can't afford one. Buy your kid a kid's G-Wagon. But you know the kid's toy G-Wagon, quite expensive. Right.

We'll whack Maggie in the Jeep and some sunglasses. You can actually remote control it and drive them around. I would spend hundreds of dollars on the Jeep

What a morning of content creation we have had. Oh, my God. You say, you know, the Black Caps winning a couple of weeks ago
Starting point is 00:08:31 was the best sporting moment of the year. No. No. They were wrong. No, they haven't seen Ben race a small dog. Ben McDowell, producer Ben, raced my small Cairns Scottish Terrier dog this morning, and it was a hell of a stoush.

Neither do you and you will find them out at 4 o'clock today when the race that stops the nation, Ben McDowell vs. Whitney the dog, goes down kind of live on air. Who will take out
Starting point is 00:09:01 the meat pack that is up for grabs? I forgot about the meat pack. I mean, it's the biggest prize in sport at the moment. Anastasia, what have you done to keep the meat pack fresh? Because I know we weren't freezing that meat pack. Whitney said she's not too worried if it's not as fresh as what it can be.
Starting point is 00:09:18 So, if you guys didn't put the meat pack in the fridge... Looks like Whitney's winning the meat pack. Ben has given up put the meat pack in the fridge. Looks like Whitney's winning the meat pack. Ben has given up on the meat pack. No, someone's winning that meat pack today. Plus, someone could win 20 grand in the box. The next guess is at four o'clock.

Starting point is 00:12:39 We've got to talk about this Christchurch woman who is nationwide news today, and I think she'll go global. I think this is one of those stories. It's already global. Is it global already? It's already global. It's over in the UK. It's doing the rounds. Stories about Mary McCarthy from Christchurch.
Starting point is 00:12:54 She got a tiddly wink, stuck up her nose 37 years ago. Now the only reason she remembered... Three. No, she was eight at the time when it happened.
Starting point is 00:13:09 She did it 37 years ago. Oh. What? Oh, right. Sorry. I've read a different part of the story. She's 45 now. I thought they said she was 40 and I was like, that math doesn't make sense. No. She only remembered that she had a tiddly wink stuck up her nose
Starting point is 00:13:27 because she went for a COVID test and they couldn't get the swab up there. They were like, something is blocking the swab. Then she remembered that when she was a kid, she used to play a game where her and her siblings would stick tiddly winks up their nose and then have a competition to see who could blow them out the furthest.
Starting point is 00:13:47 That is disgusting. But sounds like a game a kid would make up. Mary McCarthy, if you're listening, Kia Kaha, you've done New Zealand Proud on the world stage today. However, probably not the sort of thing you want to go viral for, right? You don't really want that to be your 15 minutes of fame. I mean,
Starting point is 00:14:03 I wouldn't mind it. Really? Yeah, I'd be pretty happy with that. There's worse things you could go viral for, sticking stuff somewhere else. She, the newspaper who's, yeah, well, good point. The newspaper who's reported on it have done her dirty because. Why? What did they say?
Starting point is 00:14:16 She's kept the tiddly wink and then they've said to her, why don't you have a photo with it? So she has had, she's posed for a photo in the newspaper holding this grotty yellow tiddlywink that has been up her nose for 37 years and when the surgeons removed it they also had to remove a bunch of calcified material
Starting point is 00:14:33 that had grown around the tiddlywink. No, you call it what it is. What? Calcified boogers. That's what it is. Boogers had got stuck to it and she had a big large tiddlydly-winged booger. She's lucky that she didn't choke on it and die, you know? It's been in there for 37 years.
Starting point is 00:14:51 At any time, it could have moved and slipped down into her esophagus and choked her. It would go down your esophagus, wouldn't it? It depends which way it goes. Yeah. And it depends on a lot of things. It depends on the size of your esophagus, to be honest. I've got a big esophagus, I've been told.
Starting point is 00:15:08 Yeah, yeah. A big, big esophagus. You've got a massive one. Yeah. The doctors say I have quite an unusually large esophagus. I've heard that, yeah. I mean, you can see it from looking at me. It's hard to find necklaces that are that big.
Starting point is 00:15:22 You look at me, I have to get quite big necklaces to fit on this esophagus. You're all esophagus, yeah. She said the reason why it spent 37 years in there is because when it happened, she was too scared to tell her parents because she didn't want to get in trouble. Oh my God, how relatable is that? Right? We all know that feeling. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:39 Where you're like, I will just hide this. My mum will kill me if she knows that I've put a tiddlywink up my nose. Yeah. I'll just leave it there for 37 years. That's the way around this. I'll just hide this. My mum will kill me if she knows that I've put a tiddlywink up my nose. Yeah. I'll just leave it there for 37 years. That's the way around this. I'll just leave it there. I can remember countless times my brother and I, especially head stuff, my brother and I one time, we were quite big fire bugs
Starting point is 00:15:58 and we started a fire in the wood heap in our backyard. This is the most country bumpkin shit, honestly. And my dad came along and he goes, what are you guys doing? And we said, oh, we're just trying to learn how to start fires. In the wood heap. Yeah. In our backyard. This is the most country bumpkin shit, honestly. And my dad came along and he goes, what are you guys doing? And we said, oh, we're just trying to learn how to start fires. And he goes, that's not how you start fires. And then he gave us a bit of diesel. This is a true story.
Starting point is 00:16:19 And then the fire got away from us and we burnt the whole wood heap, which costs a lot of money. People in the South Island will know how much it costs to get a pile of wood for the winter. And then we hid it from our mum for ages. Yeah, because your dad is in trouble too. He goes, don't tell your mother. My dad's like, we'll just cover it. It'll be our secret.
Starting point is 00:16:36 Was it a tiddlywink? Or a fire? Or a broken bone? What was it? A vase? Yeah, an expensive thing. We want to know this afternoon What did you hide from your parents when you were a kid So that you wouldn't get in trouble? Hopefully enough time has passed now that you can talk about it
Starting point is 00:16:52 Without getting in trouble You can remain anonymous though If you're still terrified of mum You can stay anonymous in this one as well That's fine We tried to hide my brother's broken arm one time Yeah He broke it real bad
Starting point is 00:17:01 So she kind of noticed it When it was hanging different angles to his body. You don't have to have gotten away with it. If you tried to hide something, we'll take that too. We'll put a blanket over it. Bree and Clint. You guys are wild, man. We're talking about stuff you hid from your parents as a child.
Starting point is 00:17:18 There's a lady who had a tiddlywink stuck in her nose for 37 years because she didn't want to get in trouble with her mum for sticking it up there. We've all been there before. You don't want to tell your mum and dad because you're afraid of them, what might happen. Some of these texts are deadly. Some of them, you're lucky you survived.
Starting point is 00:17:35 I love this one. Someone texted through and they said, I tried dyeing my hair with fake tan. I've never even thought about doing that. I hid it from my mum until she noticed the discolouration on my forehead noticed the discolouration on my forehead matched the discolouration on my hands. That's amazing.
Starting point is 00:17:52 So, 0800 dials it in. What did you hide from your parents? Let's start with Kate. Good afternoon, Kate. Hi, how are you going? Kate, what did you hide from your parents? Oh, me and my brother broke my dad's wooden rugby trophy. Oh, this is like Sandlot gang.'s wooden rugby trophy. Oh, that's the
Starting point is 00:18:05 Sandlot gang. From his glory days. Yeah, yeah, that's right. So it was a line-out one, so the rugby ball broke off. Oh, no. Yeah, we glued it back on. Yeah. But to this day, me and my brother know that we can see the glue line still there, but Dad doesn't know.
Starting point is 00:18:21 Has he never noticed? No, he hasn't. Yeah, he's in his late 60s now. I don't think it's on display, but he still doesn't know about it. I mean, you know. Kate, you should one time at Christmas time accidentally push your dad into the trophy and be like, oh, Dad, you broke it. Oh, look what you did. Look what you did.
Starting point is 00:18:40 Okay, Kate, Dad. I'm still living with that secret to this day. That's interesting. Someone else texted through and they said, when my sister was younger, she spilt nail polish on the carpet. Oh, that's not good. And instead of telling our parents so they could use stain remover on it, she decided to give the carpet a haircut.
Starting point is 00:18:58 When she realized that she'd created a bald patch, she then proceeded to try and glue it back down with a glue stick. She didn't keep it a secret for very long. The worst part was she was 12 or 13. She ruined the whole carpet. Rather than admitting to a patch which needed stain remover. That could have possibly had something done to it. It's so hard, I reckon, as a parent,
Starting point is 00:19:18 because your kid obviously had good intentions, but they've given your carpet a haircut, you know? Like, stupid. Nikki's here. Hi, Nicky. Hi, Nicky. Hiya. What did you hide from your parents?
Starting point is 00:19:30 Well, I broke my dad's photocopier in his workplace. Oh, no. You weren't sitting on it, were you? Nicky, what were you doing on it? Well, me and my brother's younger girlfriend had been told to go to dad's work to wait for him to return so his other workmates could go home, so wait till he returned to shut up. So while we were waiting and got bored,
Starting point is 00:19:52 I decided to take some pictures of my bum. Yeah, exactly what I thought it was, Nicky. And it was right in front of the glass entrance door, so she was standing in front of the glass entrance door so no one could see me while I was getting the best sort of shot of my bum and getting the right sort of... The angles, it's all about angles. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:13 Anyway, then I accidentally cracked it. And so then I spent the next half hour trying to come up with a really good excuse as to why his photocopier was broken. No, you just leave it. You just don't even mention it. Just shut his photocopier was broken. No, you just leave it. You just don't even mention it. Just shut the photocopier and leave it. You don't even, and then you... I couldn't even shut the lid.
Starting point is 00:20:30 The glass is so, so out of alignment. Nikki, did you make sure to wipe your bum print off the photocopier? This is what got me stressed because then my brother's girlfriend says to me, oh, when my dad's photocop Broke, the last image kept coming through when they had it when they had it Our man in LA, Dean McCarthy Rebel Wilson is copying
Starting point is 00:21:00 it at the moment for her take on the Australian lockdown going down at the moment. Hi, Dean the Australian lockdown going down at the moment. Hi, Dean. Hi, Dean. Hi, guys. Yeah, she sure is. So here's the thing, right?
Starting point is 00:21:09 So she went on social media and posted a picture of herself and wrote WTF Sydney. And then she posted a photo that her mother took in like a Woolworths or a grocery store with all of the shelves empty. You know, when everyone goes on that buying frenzy. And then she wrote, you can't keep locking down as a strategy. She is getting slammed about this. It's a very touchy subject, obviously, in Australia right now with such incredibly strict lockdowns happening.
Starting point is 00:21:34 And, of course, a lot of people commenting the fact that she's in America. She lives in America most of the time, and there's now no lockdowns happening over here. So, I don't know, it was a rebel's take on it, and it didn't land very well at all. Yeah. Two things for me. She's not an epidemiologist, so she's a movie star, so careful what you weigh in on.
Starting point is 00:21:56 And second of all, you literally can keep locking down. Like, it's been an effective strategy for New Zealand and Australia, two of the world-leading countries as far as beating COVID-19 goes. So you actually can keep locking down? But, I mean, also she doesn't live in Australia currently. She lives overseas. Yeah. And, you know, I think she has like seven houses in Sydney.
Starting point is 00:22:19 Yeah. But, you know what I mean? It's just kind of like... It's a bit out of touch, right? It's a little bit out of touch because you're not there. You're living overseas. Yeah. Yeah, leave it to the experts, I think, that situation.
Starting point is 00:22:30 And yeah, the Australian situation's rough. The bubble has burst. It's affected some people you had coming over, Brie, already. Yeah, look, I'm bloody pissed off, to be honest. And I hate lockdowns. But unfortunately, I agree with them. It has to be done. My brother, who I'd been looking
Starting point is 00:22:45 forward to seeing for months can't come over now for a holiday with me and my partner and it sucks but unfortunately. It's keeping people safe. It's keeping people safe and that's just how it is. 100%. That is the latest live out of Los Angeles with our Hollywood correspondent Dean McCarthy.
Starting point is 00:23:01 I don't know if you're ready for this Clint but do you have any royal music? Always ready. Nailed it. I had this random thought. I'm going to call it a shower thought that I had the other day. Where did you have it? Not in the shower, but that doesn't make it a non-shower thought.
Starting point is 00:23:25 And I think I was looking at money, some coins, and obviously the Queen's head appears on the back of New Zealand currency. Yep, has done for the last, what, 60, 70 years? Long time. It's also the same for Australian money. Yes. And money, of course, in the UK. Yes.
Starting point is 00:23:44 All has the Queen's head on it. Mm-hmm. And I thought to myself, what happens to all of this money when she passes away? Yeah. Because she's obviously, you know, 93. She can't live forever. Let's hope that it's not anytime soon. No.
Starting point is 00:24:02 But one day the time will come where she passes away and we'll have all of this money, all of this currency with her face on it. Yeah. What happens to it? Have you ever seen the way that her image on coins has changed over the years? And you can tell how old the coin is based on how young she looks. Yes, because if you get a coin that was minted in 2013, it's the queen as she looks now, right?
Starting point is 00:24:27 But whereas if you got something from the 1980s. She's younger. Yeah. Yeah, it's awesome. I love that it does that. I think I know what happens to the money, but have you done any research into it? I've done my research because I'm not just going to come onto radio and go, I wonder what happens. Anyway, Zed in.
Starting point is 00:24:41 I think that's most of what radio is. But if you've done the research, good on you. I've done the research, good on you. I've done the research. It says here, because I looked on a few different websites that comments on this, and one website said, the old coins and notes will slowly be removed from circulation when they wear out. It says this can take up to several years,
Starting point is 00:25:04 but over time the currency will be replaced with an image of the new monarch. Oh man, I don't want my coins to have Prince Charles face on them. Can you imagine? Oh, that's so no. Is there room on the $1 coin for his ears? That's what we've really got to say. Maybe the 50 cents. Bree and Clint. Well, here we are, Clint. One of the biggest events of the year.
Starting point is 00:25:33 Probably bigger than when the Black Caps won in the last couple of weeks. This sporting event really captivated the entire nation. Absolutely. We came up with this plan where we thought, who would win? Producer Ben, a 28-year-old man who has massive tickets on himself to win a lot of races.
Starting point is 00:25:51 Oh, he backs himself. He once raced Liam Malone, Paralympian, and lost. And then now he is taking on my eight-kilo canned terrier miniature dog, Whitney Houston. In a 100-metre race, a battle for the ages, they're calling it. The race happened this morning at a local dog park over 100 metres. The results are confirmed, but Ben, you don't know them. How do you feel that you went?
Starting point is 00:26:17 I think I did okay. I'm still tired and it's been about five hours. It was one sprint. Yeah, I know. It was literally one sprint. On the line, an entire meat pack. It's full of steak and sausages and mince and bacon and everything that men and dogs love.
Starting point is 00:26:34 People have bedded on this race around the office. There's a sweepstake that's been going on, and it was a big event this morning. Absolutely. Something you don't know about, Ben, and this is probably going to be a radio first, obviously you being the man of the race and then my dog, Whitney, being the dog. We didn't have much time for her to speak about how she was feeling about the race,
Starting point is 00:26:58 so I interviewed her this morning and we've got that audio for you now. This is a scope. Oh, lassie, it's me, Whitney Houston. Breeze puppy. Today is a big race between me and Ben McDowell. I'm going to take downtown to Scottish town. And by that, I mean I'm going to put you under a Scottish kilt so you have a blackout moment where you lose all of your dignity.
Starting point is 00:27:24 Because you're going to lose a where you lose all of your dignity. Cause you're gonna lose a race to me, a tiny puppy. Cause you look like a tiny baby with a moustache. And I eat tiny babies. And I love moustaches. See out there on the field
Starting point is 00:27:40 where I'm gonna slap your bottom. Whitney Houston. Out. I had no idea she was Scottish. Well, she's a Canteria, so one of the oldest Scottish breeds. Of course, of course. Before we head to the race and get the highlights, any right of reply you would like, Ben? Obviously, the platform's yours.
Starting point is 00:27:59 Yeah, that's fair. Nah, I'm okay. Okay. He's a humble man. Well, then let's not wait any longer. Let's head to the Mount Albert dog park where this morning producer Ben took on Whitney the dog in a 100 metre sprint. Here we are.
Starting point is 00:28:15 It is the question that has pained humankind since the beginning of time. Who's faster, Ben or a dog? Exactly. Today, we're going to find that out. Ben, tell me how you're feeling, mate, while the dog's not listening. Pretty good. I mean, it's obviously a little bit muddy, but that's fine. Dog's four-wheel drive, mate.
Starting point is 00:28:32 How's that going to play into your game? I didn't know that, but that's good to know now, yeah. Whitney, tell me how you're feeling. Yes. What do you think about Ben McDowell and his form? Yes. You ready to go? Come on.
Starting point is 00:28:43 It is time. Well, here we are. It's the race that separates the men from the dogs. It really comes down to how much stamina, how much drive these two athletes really have. It's a race of two halves. The first half, 50 metres. The second half, another 50 metres. Who will take out
Starting point is 00:29:06 the biggest stout of the year? Did you mention that one of them's a dog? One of them's a dog, and one of them a grown man. Bring on the weather. It's starting to rain. Can we hurry the s***? Let's go.
Starting point is 00:29:21 Alright, you ready? Set. Go. He's off all bed start. Wobbly start. Come on, Whitney. Come on, Whitney. He's charging.
Starting point is 00:29:32 He's charging. Come on, Ben. Come on, Whitney. Come on. Come on, Whitney. Come on, Whitney. Come on, Whitney. Come here.
Starting point is 00:29:40 Come on, Ben. She's on the clock. Oh, my God. She's on the clock. She's on the clock. Oh, my God. She's on the clock. She's on the clock. Oh, my God. But who is it going to be? Who will come out triumphant?
Starting point is 00:29:54 We want your opinions on the text machine right now. 9696, who do you think took it out? Producer Ben or the dog Whitney Houston? I can tell you right now, over 100 metres, you both came in under 15 seconds. But who was faster? Let's play a song and we'll
Starting point is 00:30:13 come back with the results. Welcome back to the race, everybody, where Producer Ben has taken on Whitney the dog. Who will win? We're about to find out right here, right now, this morning. Producer Ben took on the dog Whitney Houston in a 100 metre dash. Let's take you back there now.
Starting point is 00:30:33 All right, you ready? Set. Go. He's off all bed start. Wobbly start. Come on, Whitney. Come on, Whitney. He's charging.
Starting point is 00:30:44 He's charging. Come on, Ben. Come on, Whitney. Come on. Come on, Whitney. Come on, Whitney. He's charging. Come on, Ben. Come on, Whitney. Come on, Whitney. Come on, Whitney. Come on, Whitney. Come here. Come on, Ben.
Starting point is 00:30:53 Oh, my God. Oh, my God. I've got goosies all over. I'm ready to find out who has taken out this race. I can tell you before I give any results, it was incredibly close, Ben. Oh, that's good. It was incredibly close. You know what sucks is that it was so bloody close
Starting point is 00:31:13 that people will think that it's fake. It's actually one of the best match-ups I've ever seen. Great. Better than the Melbourne Cup, closer than the Melbourne Cup. Someone's going to be asking for a rematch. Put it that way. All right. Okay. to be asking for a rematch. Put it that way. All right. Okay.
Starting point is 00:31:26 Someone will be demanding a rematch. Okay. It's time for some results. Here we go. Here we go. Here we go. All right. Clint, when you're ready, when you get that, okay.
Starting point is 00:31:37 What was Whitney Houston the dog's time? Whitney Houston came in with a time of 14.62 seconds. That's a good time. That's a really good time. That's a very good time. Solid on wet, muddy ground. No, she's a dog. That's where they're born to run.
Starting point is 00:31:52 No, but it was the same conditions for you and her. 14.67 seconds. Yeah, cool. So anything under 14.67 and Ben McDowell will take out the show down here this afternoon. All right, Clint, when you're ready, what was producer Ben McDowell's time? Producer Ben has come in with a time of 14.79, meaning with a victory of just over 0.1 of a second, it's Whitney using, the dog.
Starting point is 00:32:27 Very good. That's so close. That's so bloody close. It's ridiculous. Look. Isn't that insane? That's good. That's good radio.
Starting point is 00:32:41 To me, I feel like same time, same place next year. Yeah, I choose where we do it. Not at a dog park. What do you want to do it? You want to do it on a clay court? Yeah, I want to do it on a clay track with sprigs. And I'll train for at least a day before this time. Whitney Houston takes home the meat pack.
Starting point is 00:32:59 Yeah. She does take home the win for this year, but it could be an annual thing. We could be going head-to-head. And Whitney also has left you a message from the winner's circle. Oh, thank goodness. Hello, everyone.
Starting point is 00:33:11 It's me, Breeze Puppy, Whitney Houston. I just wanted to record this obviously winning message because I knew that I was going straight to the winner's circle. Just. Also, I wanted to congratulate Ben McDowell on a great race. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:33:28 Also, Ben, from me to you, I'm gifting you the meat pack. Very nice. Because my mum said if I had all that meat it would give me diarrhea.
Starting point is 00:33:39 So congratulations from me, Whitney Houston, definitely not Brie. It's me, the dog, to you, Ben McDowell. Congratulations. It had everything this way. It has been broken.
Starting point is 00:33:52 I mean, it's great sportsmanship from the two competitors. There it is. Who took out the man versus dog? It was the dog in the end. Brie and Clint. All right, everyone. Strap in because we're about to get a little bit serious. Stumbled across something
Starting point is 00:34:11 on the internet today, which look, it's quite hard to believe. Yeah. But then it's also quite interesting to think about. Right. So there's this guy that's currently doing the rounds. His handle on TikTok is called Live Your Lie.
Starting point is 00:34:33 And he claims to be a time traveller from the year 3036. And he's come back in time to communicate with us via TikTok? He's come back in time, is what he says, to put some stuff online about the future. Okay. Now, look, I've pulled out some parts of this TikTok that he did that I found quite interesting. And the first part that this traveller from 3036 talks about is
Starting point is 00:35:07 what is the population in 3036? What's the population in 3036? The world population? Just over 2 billion people. 2 billion? Which at the moment we're at 7 billion, nearly 8. We're at a lot more than that. Yeah. So obviously some stuff goes down, but what happens? Well, he discusses a big global event that happens in the year 2050-something. So in our lifetime, Clint, called the blackout. Big blackout happens in December 2052.
Starting point is 00:35:44 Basically everything goes dark for upwards to five years. The internet, the power, it all gets disconnected. It takes them upwards to 20 years to get the power back online. No Wi-Fi for 20 years. He said that the blackout is caused by terrorists and it's nearly impossible to get any sort of power or anything back online for 20 years or so. Okay, all right.
Starting point is 00:36:14 He then discusses what zoos are like in 3036 and how exotic animals aren't the same thing that we call exotic animals right now. Take a listen. Believe it or not, our zoo consists of animals like dogs and cats, rabbits, squirrels. These are considered exotic animals. All of the larger species, lions and tigers, elephants, they're all gone. The larger species no longer exist. Well, to be fair, that's quite believable, the way things are going.
Starting point is 00:36:50 I don't want to live in a world where you can't have a dog. Well, you can, you just have to go to the zoo to see it. Yeah, but you can't have a dog. Right, okay. What a crappy world. The last thing that I've pulled out from this time traveller from 3036 is where he talks about what happens when babies are born. When children are first born, they're assigned partners, which are called caring ones. These are basically small robots that monitor the child for health conditions. condition. Okay. This is either the creepiest thing
Starting point is 00:37:25 ever or the best marketing for the next upcoming Black Mirror movie ever. Right. I would be more inclined to believe this guy if he didn't talk like Bruce Willis. Yeah, but maybe that's how they talk in 3036 where he's from. Yeah, okay.
Starting point is 00:37:42 I just don't understand why what's his point? That's the thing he hasn't communicated to us. What's the point of coming back and telling us this stuff? He does say right at the start that we should all be very grateful for what we have right now and that we're the freest we'll ever be moving into the future. Because in 1,015 years, things are going to be very different.
Starting point is 00:38:07 Well, we won't be here. Yeah. There you go. Time traveller, believe it or not. Wait, no, TikTok time traveller. Sorry, he's travelled through time using TikTok. Brian Clint. Brian Clint.
Starting point is 00:38:22 I want to talk about long distance relationships for a second. This one's an interesting one. It's about two Kiwi Olympians. By the way, it's 24 days until the Olympics. Are you excited yet? I can't believe it's 24 days. I can't believe it's going ahead. I want to have some time off.
Starting point is 00:38:38 For the Olympics? Yeah. What's the time difference to Japan? You might not need any time off. Might be at night time. Might be night time stuff Camille Buscombe is a 30 year old Kiwi Olympian She's competing in the 5 and 10 kilometres
Starting point is 00:38:53 For the Tokyo Olympics They're the worst possible events Is that middle distance? That's middle distance running out Is that considered middle distance? 5 Ks Well it's not a sprint No
Starting point is 00:39:04 And it's not a marathon So is it middle distance? Maybe Shes? Well, it's not a sprint. No. And it's not a marathon. So is it middle distance? Maybe. She's a runner. Okay, she's a runner. She's a Kiwi who's based in Melbourne and Qatar with her training squad. Oh my God. Okay.
Starting point is 00:39:15 Her fiance is Cameron French. He's a 29-year-old. He's a professional athlete who's living in Cardiff in Wales where he is training to qualify for the Olympic 400 metre hurdles event. Why do they live in these places? Because that's where they need to live to train for their specific sport. What, you can only train for the hurdles in Cardiff? No, but I guess that's where they've got a team. That's where they feel like they can get the best.
Starting point is 00:39:42 It's very random, Qatar and Cardiff. They're both from Hamilton, so they're both they can get the best. It's very random. Qatar and Cardiff. They're both from Hamilton. So they're both a long way from home. So they both come from Hamilton, but they're both living. And one's based in Melbourne in Qatar and the other is based in Cardiff. They'll be looking forward to the Olympics because at least. They get to see each other. They'll be in the same place for a bit, right?
Starting point is 00:39:59 They can share a, maybe they can share a house in the village. They might not even be able to see each other because of COVID. Oh, wouldn't that be a real ball breaker, wouldn't it? That'd be terrible wouldn't it? Cameron said being away from each other so much is the hardest thing about their careers. Eight months is the longest they've gone without seeing each other. Eight months. That's such a long time. Without seeing your fiance. They message every day and they talk a few times a week. They said the key to coping with it is knowing what is going on in each other's lives.
Starting point is 00:40:29 I guess keeping a dialogue of everything that's happening so you feel involved. It would just be so hard, wouldn't it? Because sometimes you'd go, all right, I can't talk to you at the moment because it'll make it easier. I missed you too much. I need to cut you out or something like that. But then it also gets tedious.
Starting point is 00:40:44 Yeah. Where you're trying to relay everything that. But then it also gets tedious. Yeah. Where you're trying to relay everything that's happening in your life and you're constantly. Relay, good pun. Talking about runners here, yeah. And you're constantly trying to, you know, FaceTime them or talk to them and it's like, it's so different from actually seeing someone in person and having that connection.
Starting point is 00:41:00 You're trying to share all your milestone moments through Zoom. And people will have had to do this because of COVID in the last 12 months as well. I reckon the last 12 months will have caused more long-distance relationships than probably ever since the war. Because I disagree with that. I don't think that's the key to a long-distance relationship.
Starting point is 00:41:17 What is it? Because I've done my fair share of long-distance relationships. Never again. Is it... Can I guess what the key is? What's the key? Is it phone gardening? You know?
Starting point is 00:41:28 Yes, that is the key. Is it doing rude stuff on Skype? No, no. Because I couldn't do it. I'd get performance anxiety. No, that's not the key. I think the key is always having an end point. So always having a plan about when you're going to see each other next
Starting point is 00:41:44 or a plan for the distant future. There's another pun. For when it's going to end. When it's going to end. I think you're absolutely right. You've got to be working towards a goal. If you don't have that, there's no end and it's just you go round and round in circles. Then what are you working towards? It's too hard. Yeah, yeah, otherwise. I agree. I think you're absolutely right. It's very hard to do it with no end in sight. Yeah. Surely.
Starting point is 00:42:10 I think it's nearly impossible. Let's take some calls from people this afternoon who have been doing long distance for a while. How does it work? Like what's the key to long distance? How long have you and your partner been in a long distance relationship for? And that could be Auckland to Wellington or it could be Christchurch to... Anywhere that's a plane ride away. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:30 A plane ride is long distance. Yeah, 100%. Anywhere where you don't get to spend the night together whenever you feel like it. There's people on the text machine already texting through. Someone said, I had to give birth and raise my daughter over Skype with my fiance for over a year because of COVID while he was stuck in LA. See, that's... People are awesome. had to give birth and raise my daughter over Skype with my fiance for over a year because of COVID while he was stuck in LA. See, that's-
Starting point is 00:42:48 People are awesome. Yeah. Like, they're so incredible. That's sort of a test on your relationship. If you make it through that, you've got to think you'll make it through anything, right? Someone else said, we have been doing long distance. I haven't seen the love of my life for the last six months. He's stuck in South Africa.
Starting point is 00:43:05 Far out. Time difference makes things so much worse. I totally agree with that. If you're up when they're asleep. If you're in completely different time zones, I also think very difficult. Okay, let us know. Oh800dials.com, how long have you guys been doing long distance?
Starting point is 00:43:17 What's the key to it? What's the hardest thing about doing a long distance relationship? Bree and Clint. We're talking long distance relationships. There's a couple of Kiwi Olympians, Camille and Cameron who are runners but because of their sports and
Starting point is 00:43:31 where they have to train and also where their competitions would be at different times of the world, they don't live together. They're engaged and they'll spend up to eight months apart at any one time. Like it's wild to me because how long can you do that? How long is it sustainably possible? And still fun, you know? Because it's got to me because how long can you do that? How long is it sustainably possible? And still fun, you know?
Starting point is 00:43:49 Because there's got to be fun. There's got to be fun in the relationship. Because what happens if you do long distance for like three or four years and the relationship's all good and then for the first time when you are living in the same place and you're like, wait a minute, we're not compatible. Or you've changed. You're different. Because people do change and you'll like, wait a minute, we're not compatible. Or you've changed. You're different.
Starting point is 00:44:05 Yeah. Because people do change, and you'll grow, well, you could grow in different directions. So how does it work? Let's talk to some people. Tabitha's here. Hi, Tabitha. Hi, Tabitha.
Starting point is 00:44:13 Hiya. You're in a fresh, long-distance relationship. Yeah, yeah, it is creepish. Seven months. Seven months, wow. So three months. Well, it was six, but it's actually seven. How come you're doing long distance, Tabitha?
Starting point is 00:44:26 He's stuck in South Africa because of visa conditions. Oh, that's really hard. Is he going to get here eventually? Because Bree was saying before, and I think she's right, you've got to have an end in sight. Is he eventually going to get here? Yes, he is. But we're not sure at the moment.
Starting point is 00:44:42 There's just like a long waiting period. They don't have a definite date on when we can get any kind of news back. What's the key to keeping your guys' long-distance relationship going? Because of the time difference. As you've actually mentioned from someone else, we call voice notes. What's up? Oh, what's it?
Starting point is 00:45:00 Voice messages. Yes. When I'm leaving work, I'll voice note him. When he leaves work, he'll voice note me. Oh, that's a cool idea, Tabitha. That's so good. So you can actually hear the other person's voice. Let's get some more on Charlotte's here.
Starting point is 00:45:11 Hi, Charlotte. Hi, Charlotte. Hi. How long have you been doing long distance? So we were doing it for about two years, and then lovely old corona happened, and we decided to call it quits in March this year. Oh, that sucks, Charlotte.
Starting point is 00:45:27 Yeah. But I mean, two years. Has it been two... Was it two years of hell? No, because prior to last year, we were travelling like in between one another. Whereabouts? Where were you?
Starting point is 00:45:40 Where were they? So he was originally in England when Corona hit, and now he's gone back home to South Africa. Oh, both massive flights. Such long distance. Double time zones have been fun to get used to. Yeah, right. Charlotte, can I ask, obviously, because you did long distance for two years
Starting point is 00:45:57 and then Corona hit, which really put a nail in the coffin, do you think you'd still be together? Yeah, well, we still chat most days and we've planned to meet up in a country when it's safe for both of us to. Oh, my God. Can you imagine? That's a love story. Can you imagine if Charlotte.
Starting point is 00:46:15 If you guys make it, it will be so romantic. You meet up after many, many years and then all of a sudden the spark's still there. He says, I wrote you every day. But I heard you changed flats. I don't have your address. Zara's here. Hi, Zara. Hi, Zara.
Starting point is 00:46:32 Hi. You win this, by the way. How long have you been doing a long-distance relationship for? Ten years. Ten years, Zara. Yeah. And you're still together? Still together.
Starting point is 00:46:44 We just recently got married. And wait, are you still doing long-distance or do you're still together? Still together. We just recently got married. And wait, are you still doing long distance or do you live together now? We have finally been reunited in March of this year after COVID hit and we've been separated for over a year. That's incredible. Where were you and where were they? He was in Los Angeles and I was back in New Zealand in little old Masterton, wherever.
Starting point is 00:47:09 Okay, you're the authority on this. You did 10 years of a long-distance relationship. It resulted in a marriage. Why did they do 10 years of long-distance? Oh, yeah, first, why 10 years apart? So, well, first of all, we met online about that long ago and we kind of just decided we were soulmates. And then for three years, we did it long distance
Starting point is 00:47:31 before I went over and met him finally. And then the rest is kind of history. I was travelling back and forth between New Zealand and America for as long as my visa would let me. Okay, what's the key? Ten years of a long distance relationship, what's the most important thing if you're going to do long-distance?
Starting point is 00:47:46 Pretty much just keep them in the loop always. Just every little thing that you're doing, just you keep them up to date, really. Yeah. Hey, well done, guys. And sexy photos. Yeah, I think quite a few of those over the 10 years. Let's talk big.
Starting point is 00:48:03 Lotto wins for a second. A lady who lives in Sydney who in 2019 won $115 million on the Powerball. I didn't even know you could win that much money in Aussie Powerball. It was a record. And I think it still is. I think it still is the record. The biggest one ever. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:48:20 $115 million to one person. She won that two years ago. And she is still working at her job. Got a good time just before COVID. Yeah, $115 million to one person. She won that two years ago and she is still working at her job. Got a good time just before COVID. Yeah, right. I wonder what she does. She literally got to lock down in a nice house. Yeah, does it say what she does for work?
Starting point is 00:48:34 It does. I want to explain her lifestyle to you a little bit first and then we'll talk about that. Because $115 million. You don't have to work ever again if you don't want to. Ever. You can literally put to work ever again if you don't want to. Ever. You can literally put that money in a bank, live off the interest and have everything you would ever want.
Starting point is 00:48:51 You can go on a spending spree and still struggle to get through $115 million. I would actually be scared to see what would happen to me if I won that much money. Right. I don't think it'd be good things. Maybe you need to keep working just to keep yourself busy for 40 hours a week.
Starting point is 00:49:05 It'd be good at first and then I think things would turn bad. Yeah, right. Okay, so she's in her 40s. So she... Oh, great time to win. Great time to retire. Yeah. Great time to quit your job. You're still young enough and healthy
Starting point is 00:49:22 enough hopefully to go out and enjoy your life. Yeah, go travelling. But you've had some experience. You've worked for 20 years. No travelling for you. No, no travelling. But soon, one day, her and her husband both have kept their jobs. Have they kept each other?
Starting point is 00:49:37 They've kept each other, yeah. They didn't own a family house beforehand. They've bought a family house, but they haven't really splurged. Have they got kids? They've got kids. Okay. $115 million. They've bought a family house, but they haven't really splurged. Have they got kids? They've got kids. Okay. $115 million. They don't have a cleaner.
Starting point is 00:49:50 They don't pay someone to clean their house. Yeah, I'd be paying for a cleaner. I'd be paying for a cleaner. They do their own things like their own grocery shopping. No, I like the grocery shopping. Do you?
Starting point is 00:50:00 Yeah, I love it. Even if you've got $115 million? Yeah, because I find it, I really like cooking. So you don't do any115 million? Yeah, because I find it, I really like cooking. So you don't do any cooking. No. So you don't find it fun. Whereas I like, I'm going to the supermarket,
Starting point is 00:50:11 it's like Charlie and the Chocolate. If I had $115 million, I would pay Nadia Lim to do my grocery shopping and my cooking. No, I was going to say, you would just pay her to be your chef. Yes, 100%. There is one thing that they have outsourced though. So one luxury they've treated themselves to. They're millionaires.
Starting point is 00:50:27 They don't pay for a cleaner. Double ply toilet paper. I don't think, hopefully, they've treated themselves to that. See, I'd be splurging on the double ply. They pay someone to do their ironing. Oh. Do people iron their clothes these days? Some people do.
Starting point is 00:50:41 I haven't ironed anything in my entire life. Mate, you live in t-shirts and denim jackets. So, yeah, $115 million. Very down-to-earth lifestyle and they still work. I love that. So the job that she does. I don't know about the working thing. Well, this might change it. And then again,
Starting point is 00:50:57 it also might make it even more perplexing. She, she's a nurse. Yeah, you know what what I really think nurses Are a special Special human They do it not for the money No nurses doing it for the money
Starting point is 00:51:17 Not for how Especially how they're being treated lately They do it because they love to help other people Yes And 115 million dollars It might make nursing more enjoyable. Because you know, you take the money, you take the financial stress out of it. She might pick and choose when she does night shifts anymore. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:35 It might be hard to get her in for a shift sometimes. What does he do, does it say? Doesn't say what he does, no. Concreter or something maybe. Do you reckon he's asked if he can quit? He's like, babe, babe, babe. She's like, I think we should keep working. He's like, fine.
Starting point is 00:51:51 You didn't jump in for the lotto ticket. He's like, how about you keep working and I'll look after the kids. I bet he pretends to work. I bet he leaves the house. He's like, yeah, I'm working. And his work clothes. He's like, see you, babe. I'm off to work.
Starting point is 00:52:02 Rolls around. She's not checking the bank balance. She's got $115 million. You wouldn't even notice. She doesn't care if it's 500 bucks a week is going in the account. Can I say, I'd be so mad at my partner if we won $115 million and they turn around to me and go, I think we should continue to work. It would be good for us.
Starting point is 00:52:20 And I think you should still clean the toilet. And I'd be like, we are not doing that. Let's see this afternoon, and this is a long shot, but let's see if we can talk to someone on the show who has won a decent amount of money before. Yeah. It can be in any different way. It doesn't need to be in lotto. Just have you
Starting point is 00:52:38 won a decent amount of money. An amount that it changed your life kind of thing, right? I was going to tell you about the time my mum won on the pokies. How much? She won seven and a half grand. Pretty good. She put twenty bucks in and she never put
Starting point is 00:52:53 no, actually this might make people angry. Stop trying to advertise the pokies to people. No, I'm not. So get this, my nan used to play the pokies later in her life when she couldn't do much else because she was ill. And my mum had never played before and my nan had passed away and on her one-year anniversary, my mum went, I'm going to go in and I'm going to put $20 in for mum
Starting point is 00:53:14 on her favourite machine, which was the racehorse one. She put it in and she was betting like five cents at a time and then lo and behold, she came out with seven and a half. That's every pokey winner story ever and it pisses off all the real pokey players. But let's just say she's never been back. No, no. Take the money and
Starting point is 00:53:34 run. Absolutely. A decent amount. An exciting amount of money. Have you won it? Are you willing to tell us what that's like this afternoon? We want you to call us on 0800 dial ZM. Or you can text us on 96 on 9696. 9696. Text us now.

Starting point is 00:55:43 pissed off, anonymous. I'd be so ropeable. For a second, did you let yourself believe that it could have been $10.5 million? No, well, the weird thing is I actually dreamt about the numbers two months beforehand, and we wrote them down. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:55:59 And then he changed my palpable number at the very last minute when he went to buy the ticket because I was eight months pregnant. No! Oh, that is so lucky it came off. But lucky, yeah, he had actually done the right thing. Okay, so $120,000, does it change your life?

Imagine how much more money you would have. Well, you wouldn't be so worried about losing your job.

Starting point is 00:57:53 Me and my mate went over to Las Vegas a couple of years back and we were walking down and went into a random pub, having a dance competition. I ended up winning that competition and it was a ticket to a casino to play a game. And we didn't know what we were doing, so we ended up going to this casino, played the game, and I won three times in a row, and I came out off to 24. That is the craziest story I have ever heard.

Starting point is 01:01:54 Okay. Two down buzz. Letitia calls it like it is. One more person to join us on the show today. Yeah, one more person. This is a bit of a special one this afternoon. His name's Bryce, and he actually works on a radio station in Australia on Triple J Breakfast and they're currently in the midst
Starting point is 01:02:12 of doing a challenge, one versus the other, where they have to try and get on to as many radio stations around the world as they can. Well, we're Team Bryce then.

Yeah, I was going to do a collab with that millionaire caller, actually. We're going to do something together, hopefully. Yeah. Yeah, nice, nice. How many radio stations have you got on?
Starting point is 01:02:43 Look, this is probably like my third today. I've got a pretty busy schedule, man. I mean, I've been doing this since 5 a.m. It's like, what, 3.30 here? So, look, we've got a while to go. Wait, you've been doing it since 5 o'clock this morning. You've only been on three radio stations. Man, no, no, no.
Starting point is 01:02:58 We had our own show to do, bro. So, look, it's a process. Yeah, you're due to do like four or five hours ago. Pick up the pace, bro. That's like, it's a process. Yeah, you do it to do, like, four or five hours ago. Pick up the pace, Bryce. That's like one every three hours. I get it. You guys got to read tortoise and the hare, man. You guys are pretty relaxed on Triple J.
Starting point is 01:03:13 I get that. That's fine. No, I love that. Take it easy. Let's do your birthday banger. You're here. Let's do your birthday banger and figure out what it is. What's your birthday, Bryce?
Starting point is 01:03:20 We're going July 30, 1994. All right, Bryce. You were 16 in 2010 on the 30th of July. And on that day in 2010, this was number one. I'll say it for the third time in a row, banger. Banger, we speak no Americano. What do you think, Bryce? I think it still holds up.
Starting point is 01:03:43 I'm happy with that for sure. Would that get us spent on Triple J breakfast? Look, I mean, you know what? Yeah, we do a Monday mix. I reckon it'd fit into our Monday mix. Yeah, nice. Come on, a flashback to 2010. As our guest, you can help us decide.
Starting point is 01:03:57 What would you vote for out of those three songs to win Birthday Banger? Oh, damn. All right, look. I feel like Afternoon, we can't be in our feels too much. I feel like that rules out our city. Agreed. And I guess, look, I think it's down to Spice Girls in this. I'm going to look, I'm going to be a gentleman.
Starting point is 01:04:12 I think Spice Girls has just got, it's soaked in more nostalgia. I think it's held the test of time. We've got to reward it, right? You're a good man, Bryce, and that's why you're on a music station because you know music. Bryce, congratulations. You have given Michelle the win. Well done, Michelle.

Starting point is 01:05:52 You're going to need to have seen two movies. First one is The Lion King. Have you seen it? Classic. Classic, okay. That's the quote I was going for, actually. That's the quote you were going for. Good.
Starting point is 01:06:03 Tell us, first of all, if Brie was to pick any quote out of The Lion King, what would it have been? Oh, I've got to go with Hakuna Matata. All right, let's see what I picked from The Lion King. These have all been recorded in advance, so we can't cheat it. Here's Bree's quotes.
Starting point is 01:06:22 I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts, diddly diddly, there they are, all standing in a row. A bump, a bump, a bump, a big one, small one, some as big as your head. As big as your head. Chris. First that rude comment at the start, now a song about your coconuts, Bree. No, no point there. You only need one point, by the way, Chris, to win this,
Starting point is 01:06:42 because it's quite a hard game. Get inside my head. What's my Lion King quote? Simba. Just that? Just Simba? Do you want to extend on that at all? No, I know the one he's talking about.
Starting point is 01:07:05 And then when he goes, everywhere the light touches. Okay, let's see. Look, Simba. Everything the light touches is our kingdom. You've got one, Chris. You've got it, Chris.
Starting point is 01:07:19 Thank you. That's why I needed you to extend it out a little bit because I knew you were on the right track. Nice work, Chris. Okay, so you've won the 50 KFC chicken dollars, but let's just play for fun.
Starting point is 01:07:29 Let's go to Shrek. Have you seen Shrek? I have. Who hasn't, right? I mean, who hasn't? It's celebrated its 20-year anniversary this year. Yeah, how depressing is that? Or 25 years.
Starting point is 01:07:40 20 years? No, surely not 25. Might be 25. 20. Chris, get inside Bree's head and tell us the Shrek quote that Bree thought of before the show. We're talking Shrek 1, are we? Yeah, just the first, the classic Shrek 1. I'm going to go, that's a do, donkey.
Starting point is 01:07:56 That's a do. And then I saw her face. Oh, okay. Let's have a listen. I like that boulder. That's a nice boulder. No. Close.
Starting point is 01:08:08 It was donkey based. Donkey based, yeah. Get inside my head, Chris. Do this. Go on. You'll be the first contestant to ever get two points in our movie quote game. All right. Ogres are like onions.
Starting point is 01:08:20 Ah, layers. Layers. Let's see if you're right. That'll do, donkey right That'll do donkey That'll do You had the quote, you had them in the wrong order I can't believe none of us went for the muffin man
Starting point is 01:08:34 The muffin man That lives on Drury Lane Hey Chris, we've got 50 KMC chicken dollars for you Well done man We've all done silly things on a night out before for you. Well done, man. Nice work, Chris. Thank you, Jim, guys. We've all done silly things on a night out before and we've woken up with anxiety. Oh, yeah. Regret. Yeah. Like I said before,
Starting point is 01:08:53 we've all said to ourselves before, I'm never drinking again. Did I message my ex? Didn't I message them? What did I say to that person? Oh, my God, they must think I'm such a dick. Oh, my God, I'm never drinking again. But this might make you feel better because a guy by the name of Lewis Oldfield, he's 23, and he's woken up the following morning after a big night out and he has done something quite ridiculous.
Starting point is 01:09:18 Right. Lewis decided after a bet was made between all of his mates that he would go through with it and change his name legally to the WWE star's name, John Cena. Right. I mean, there's worse names you could change your name to than John Cena.
Starting point is 01:09:43 What was his original name? His original name was Lewis Oldfield. Yeah. He's now John Cena legally on his driver's license. That's cooler than Lewis Oldfield. I mean, I think it is, yeah. He's changed a lot of different documents, and it'll take a lot of time and effort to change it back.
Starting point is 01:10:04 So let me get it clear. He changed his name while he was drunk or he made a bet and agreed to change his mind while he's drunk and then to had to follow through with it while he was sober um i think the bet was made and then yeah because surely they don't let you make life-changing decisions like that while you're drunk although they do let you get married in las vegas while you're drunk don't they and that involves changing your name that That's the thing. The funniest thing out of this whole situation is that Lewis, or
Starting point is 01:10:31 should I say John, isn't a wrestling fan at all. Is he a Fast and the Furious fan? Nah. What's one of those shitty rom-coms that John Cena's been in recently? Trainwreck. Is he a trainwreck fan? shitty rom-coms that John Cena's been in recently? Yeah, oh, Trainwreck. Is he a Trainwreck fan?
Starting point is 01:10:47 I don't know, but his life's looking like a bit of a trainwreck. Totally. Surely he gets a DM from John Cena or something like this, right? Oh my God, maybe that's how we could have found Channing Tatum that time. You should have changed your name to Channing Tatum. I was going to say, and then I could just meet myself and technically I've met Channing Tatum. Mind blown. We're going to save a lot of money in flights.
