The inside of my mask Gone a funny colour, that used to be white And I've only been wearing that for a week Show me A week? You should have washed that Yeah we should have washed these Mine's just got make up in it Yeah girls get way more yucky than boys

You've got a beard and stuff though Yeah but my beard doesn't put Like grot Like your makeup it goes all cakey That's true Remember when white iPhones were a thing Those things didn't stay white for long I've got a white one Yeah but you don't have makeup mate

I'd love it if we moved into a world Where you guys have to wear makeup Someone who had their eyebrows filled in today I'm quite keen You don't need to wear makeup I only wear it one day a week Which day? Saturday night

But that's not happening at the moment You're also 23 When I was 23 I didn't wear much makeup Brie's totally right This is like when Alicia Keys came out And said she was going makeup free to empower women. She's so beautiful already.

And I was like, yeah, good one, Alicia Keys. That's really empowering. She's so hot. You're one of the most naturally beautiful people in the world. How brave of you to stop wearing makeup. Yeah, she nearly looks better without makeup. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm like, when I do that, I look sick.

You look great without makeup, Brie. You haven't seen me without makeup. Yes, I have. When I don't have my eye. When I don't have my eye. When I haven't. Oh, yeah, true. You look great without makeup, Brie. You haven't seen me without makeup. Yes, I have. When I don't have my eye... When I haven't... Oh, yeah, true, you would have. When I haven't got my eyebrows filled in, I always just say I need to put at least my eyebrows on.

It's been my wife's key to lockdown, she reckons, is putting on makeup each day. Look good, feel good. Yeah. And it's not for me, it's for her. She's like, she can look in the mirror And she goes I've got my shit together And then

That's why I'm getting my eyebrows Did I tell you guys I'm getting my eyebrows tattooed? Yeah Well yours are feathered right? Well I'm getting them feathered Yeah So not

Not like a full blocking Which you can get People can get that done I'm just getting them feathered Which fills them out a bit more Because my hope Is that when I'm not wearing makeup I'll feel a bit more confident Because I've got my eyebrows at least a little bit more.

For sure. Yeah. So I'm excited for that. Has that appointment been delayed because of COVID? No, I only made that appointment last week and it's like in November. So hopefully. Oh my God, we're going to be so out of lockdown by November. It's going to be sweet.

I fucking hope so. Sorry to swear, but we had 45 cases today and I'm fucking over it. Yeah. I'm really at that point now. Me too. You know what makes me at that point? I think about the first one we did. Yeah.

Where we. It was such a novelty. And how long it was, right? It was a mob. And how exhausted we were by the end of it and how relieved we were yeah we're going way longer this time we're gonna double it and and and also because i talk about this a bit too uh and whenever i do people who particularly in melbourne messaging go you should try what we're going through mate yeah and i absolutely what you guys are going

through is horrific and worse than this. But it's all relative. Like someone mentioned to me and said, everyone's pain is valid and shit, we're over it. And you know what? I feel like I'm so living that mantra, like at the moment where I'm like,

absolutely what people are going through everywhere, but especially in Melbourne, they've been through some real shit. But it doesn't mean that we can't feel what we're feeling right now either. It's a really rough lockdown here. In the first five weeks, we had no takeaways, which I mean is not the be all and end all. I mean you can get over having no takeaways.

It's not even the takeaway bit. But it's not the be all and end all. I mean, you can get over having no takeaways. It's not even the takeaway bit. But it's not the takeaway bit. It's no elective surgeries, no haircuts, no schooling, no childcare. It's the strictest lockdown. One of the strictest lockdowns in the world. Like you can only go to a chemist and a supermarket and you have to line up and you have to socially, like's full-on like shit down here yeah you know and i think i was like oh this is when i can put this to work i'll paint my house

or i'll do something you can't get that stuff you can't get paint no like you can't yeah you can stay home and do heaps of shit but if you don't have the shit already then you can't do it yeah i was talking to my partner the other day because we're both really over it and we were just saying even if we could add a couple of extra people to our bubble, we feel like that would give us a little bit of a boost just to see

But that would have to be so strict otherwise it's pointless I feel like I could follow the rules. If you go, okay sweet I'm going to elect this house to join our bubble. But then you have to trust those people could follow the rules. If you go, okay, sweet, I'm going to elect this house to join our bubble. But then you have to trust those people to follow the rules. Well, that's the thing. But hopefully you're a good judge of character

and you pick people that you know you can trust. Yeah. And to be honest, we are super lucky, like our team, because we get to see each other. Can you imagine? I really feel for all those people. I talked to my friend Megan, who works here at ZM. Like she literally has not seen anyone else.

Does she live alone? No, she's got her flatmates. But I'm saying like within her bubble, like at least we get to come in here, we get to see each other. Do you kind of wish that you were getting the real lockdown experience? I like seeing you guys as lovely and stuff. Yeah, I love you guys. Do you kind of wish you were getting the real lockdown I like seeing you guys as lovely and stuff yeah I love you guys do you kind of wish you were getting the real lockdown experience where you had to just

stay home and do some online work and then clock off at 3 o'clock I feel like I feel a little bit ripped off that I didn't get the full experience we like I mean I feel like everyone who's had the real experience will go shut the fuck up

Ben wants to say something because he did get it Am I talking out a hole in my face? Yeah a little bit I feel like it's pretty rough See it's trickier I wish I had a normal desk job But I was like running Yeah it was impossible

It makes things real hard I bet But there was a difference like um yeah I feel like it'd be awesome for like the first week yeah and you're kind of like woo

all of this is awesome for a week it's too distracting I'm gonna have lunch at home I would have I would really struggle to motivate myself oh yeah

yeah I do because I'd be like I'll just watch way more than I'm eating now episode of Judge Judy or it's hard when you you've got an open plan kitchen living.

Because we've got a tiny one. So the cupboard is literally two steps away from where my desk is. Yeah, right. So you need a pantry. Even me now. Like last night, I was up pretty late playing Fortnite. Because I was like, I'll just get up a bit later tomorrow morning. And then my morning was frigging stressful

because I had so much work to do. Yeah, you screwed yourself. Yeah. And I was like, oh, you're an idiot. I just feel like we need a couple of months off to recover from this. We'll get there. Not us personally, I mean globally. Globally we need just some time.

Like the Christmas break goes for an extra month. Yeah, whatever it is. How good would that be? So good. You'd have two months summer. We've got to get the economy moving. And we do have to get the economy moving. But, yeah.

Someone, I saw this thing where they said, it was like, I never thought that at the end of the world, I'd still have to do my day job. That's literally us. Yeah. We're facing, we're not. It's dramatic. It's not the end of the world.

But, you know, we're facing a global crisis. But you still need to check your emails. Hey, don't be lagging on those emails. It's quite interesting, like, doing this job like we do. It's quite hard to take any days off, isn't it? Yeah. Because people you'd hope would notice if you take a day off, and it's all about –

Well, you say that, but I also hope that if you felt like you needed a day off, you'd just take it. There's a lot of pressure to show up. So much, yeah. But we're not doing surgery. And to be honest, I love this job, so it's not like I'm complaining about showing up. But it is a really weird kind of job to work in,

in terms of taking days off. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Like, do you know what I mean? We should just do a pact. We should do a pact with our podcast listeners And just be like

We're going to take a mental health day Let us know which day suits you Yeah let the podcast listeners And then drop it on Ross And then you know what that would be really good for our mental health And really bad for Ross' mental health The podcast group decided every Tuesday we have to take off Because that suits them

That would be so good. Tuesdays would be good. Again, some perspective required. It could always be worse, but I mean. Oh, and you know what? I literally, I've thought this, I reckon, every single day that I've been in this lockdown, I've thought about it every single day,

how grateful I am to still have a job for one and that we are deemed an essential service and we get to work. It's actually great to keep your mind moving where we actually get to do our job. Get to go out of the house. And I love that we are those people that get to provide maybe a little bit of light in all of this bullshit because that's why we do this job in the first place.

And the bit I'm grateful for is we get the news every day, and this is for our Australian listeners, we get your COVID cases followed by how many deaths you've got each day as well. Yeah, it's scary. And we don't have people dying in New Zealand. So it's lucky. I always think about people who are really like businesses

and people who have lost their jobs or can't work. I think about those people all the time. Like, and it just, it makes me feel so sick. Cause I can't even imagine, like imagine having a family and being in the situation where you can't do anything. Yeah.

You can, you just can't do anything. Yeah. So I always think when I'm having like a bit of a, you know, a suck or a moment or a poor me, I'm like, I think you have to sit in it for a bit though. And then go. Yeah. So I always think when I'm having like a bit of a, you know, a suck or a poor me, I'm like suck it up. I think you have to sit in it for a bit though. I do.

But then I always think about, you know, that kind of situation. And yeah, anyway, I just wanted to mention you guys because I think about those people all the time. And even the people in Melbourne who feel like this, someone in London is going to come along and go, we're in lockdown for two years. Yeah it's always about yeah but you also just know that just because someone is feeling a certain way even though it's not as bad as your situation they're still valid to feel that way 100 you know no one's ever felt better after you've gone you think you've got a bed yeah exactly like just hear people

and um you know that's what it's about letting people you know have that moment and to feel what they need to feel because every human's the same like we all go through ups and downs and everyone's you know going through shit so shout out to the people who are working from home with a shitload of flatmates or working from home what about that would be hell what to the people who are working from home with a shitload of flatmates who are working from home that would be hell or what about the people that are working from home

that have a shitload of kids you poor fuckers honestly fuck kids are hard in lockdown fuck I feel bad for you guys oh my god

it's so hard terrible like I just feel so bad I'm lucky I've got great kids but you know but you're also lucky you've got quite young kids on one hand

and a great partner. You know, but then I also, like I spoke to this person that I've been doing some work with, and she's got kids that are all like in that age group, like six, seven. It's hard at every age. Where they're just running rampant and she's trying to work a full-time job and then also homeschool these kids like it's just a freaking nightmare like just

nuts imagine trying to do a full time job and homeschool three children it's impossible and it's completely unsustainable which is why something has to happen and that thing that has to happen is we have to get vaccinated that's the only way I'm going tomorrow to get my second one

that's the only way we have to get vaccinated. That's the only way. I'm going tomorrow to get my second one. That's the only way out. It's the only way out is to get vaccinated. Yeah. So. Oh, this flannel is getting a bit hot. Yeah.

It's all the real talk, mate. It's really warmed you up. Is that what you guys call these? A flannel? Flannel. No, it's a flannel. Call that a shacket.

We call it a flannel. Stop trying to make shacket happen. It's a shacket. I'm here for the shacket. It's not flannel. Shacket sounds too much like shark. It's too thick to be flannel. Yeah, it does sound like that. If someone said that a flannel Stop trying to make Shacket happen It's a shacket I'm here for the shacket It's not flannel Shacket sounds Too thick to be flannel If someone said

That was flannel I'd be like That's too thick That's flannel Don't you guys call A washer a flannel Yes A washcloth

Yeah. Because we get those eco-friendly ones. Can't find them anywhere. So I may have taken a magazine that was on someone's driveway, took it out of the plastic sleeve and used their plastic sleeve. I thought you were going to say you used pages out of the magazine. No, no, no, no, no. And then I was going to say, did you use that woman magazine that you were in last week?

No, I saw someone... Were you picking up your dog's poo with your own face? Because that would be a new low. No, I saw someone had a magazine sitting on their front driveway and I used the plastic sleeve. Hey, look, we're in a pandemic. It's an emergency, you know? The magazine was fine. Yeah.

Did it rain? Moving on. Look, grim day, really, when we've been moving in the direction we have, but we'll do our best to keep it positive today.

Here's a bit of Natasha Bedingfield on ZM. Where are my Hills fans at? Bree and Clint. I saw this post go up on Reddit New Zealand today. Someone posted, what's the weird way that you like to eat your Weet-Bix? And I was like, oh, I can get into this. This is a bit of me. I always get dissed for the way I eat my Weet-Bix? And I was like, oh, I can get into this. This is a bit of me.

I always get dissed for the way I eat my Weet-Bix. So let me see what this guy's packing. Yeah, I feel like I have dissed you over this topic before. Yeah, I don't think you're an open-minded Weet-Bixer. No, I feel like you have your way and I have my way and we agree to disagree. Yeah, okay. Yep. Yep, that's the adult thing to do.

Yeah, right. It's a different way of saying closed-minded, but yeah. Well, you don't agree with my way either. Oh, yours is fine. I just think mine's superior. Same. Yeah. To be fair though, after reading this guy's way, I'm not open to his way of eating Weet-Bix.

So this is the post. Someone call that closed-minded. Absolutely. He's closed my mind. What's the weird way you like to eat your Weet-Bix? I like to split them in half down the middle, spread them with butter, lay a slice of cheese on each half.

Yum. No, stop trying to make Weet-Bix savoury. What? They're not savoury. Is he trying to make them into crackers? Yeah. Is he trying to make... Except they're the driest cracker in the whole world.

Yeah. You can't eat Weet-Bix dry. Someone who had COVID-19 eating a dry Weet-Bix would be a nightmare. One cough and your room would be covered in dry Weet-Bix, you know? It's actually a game because it's so hard to eat them dry. Yeah. But you just try and eat dry Weet-Bix. Does he think that the butter is enough lube for them?

No. Is that what he thinks is going to get you through? I don't think so. No. The cheese might hold it a bit together once you start chewing it up, but no. The cheese is quite, depending on what cheese it is, that's quite dry too. Yeah, that's a great point. It's a great point.

Like cheddar, dry. So let's, I thought we could drill down on what are the only official ways to eat Weet-Bix. And then this afternoon, why don't we get rid of one? Why don't we go, okay, that method of eating Weet-Bix is the worst. It needs to go. And we'll cancel Weet-Bix. Should we go around the room and we get rid of someone's in the room? That depends if we all have a different way.

Well, this is the thing, right? I've got a list. I think there's one, two, three, four, five ways of eating Weet-Bix. And I'll see if there's any that aren't on my list already. So we'll start with you. How do you eat your Weet-Bix?

The best way. I put the milk in the microwave, heat the milk up so it's pretty warm. Yep. And then I drop my wheat peaks into the warm, delicious milk. Yeah. And then I just lather it with sugar. There you go.

Got that. Warm milk only. That's the category you fall into. It's amazing. Producer Ben, how do you eat your wheatbacks? Exactly the same as Brie, but not warm. Oh, so just milk only. I've got that. Cold milk only?

Yeah, with sugar. Anastasia, how do you eat your Weet-Bix? Weet-Bix are in cold milk over then heaps of sugar. So same as Ben's, but yeah. Cold milk only. Okay, cool. So that's two of the ways. I believe the other ways

you can have it are hot water only. You've done this before, haven't you? No, Clint is a water wheat pixie. No, I'm not exclusively. That's one of the ways. That's your favourite way. No, my favourite way is hot water mostly

and then cool it down with a little bit of cold milk. That's even worse. So it's hot water then milk. It's not porridge. Porridge, that's the porridge method. Mine's the best because it gets them the most soggy. That's why mine is so good. And I love my Weet-Bix really, really soft.

It shouldn't be watery. No, but it's not because the Weet-Bix soaked them all up. So in my eyes, Weet-Bix are quite bland. That's what they're meant to be. They're meant to be bland. And then why would you put a bland thing with water that's the most blandest thing ever? Well, it gets them nice and hot. My boiling water gets them hotter than your microwave milk ever could.

How do you know? Have you ever had it? Because you can't microwave milk to boiling. Yeah, you can. No, you can't. It's pretty hot. It's not hot enough. They go super soggy.

You don't know until you haven't tried it. There's one other method of eating Weet-Bix, but we're cancelling that straight away, and that's raw dog. It's just dry Weet-Bix in a bowl. No, nah. Yeah, that's gone, eh? It's not bad. Wait, do you... Tramping.

Who has sugar on theirs? Sugar, always. No. What is he doing over here? Who has sugar for breakfast? Like, grow up. Have you heard of cereal? I don't eat cereal either.

I don't eat cereal. If you want sugar, have a chocolate bar. Have you heard of pancakes? Growing up, I cereal either. I don't eat cereal. If you want sugar, have a chocolate bar. Have you heard of pancakes? Growing up, I ate sugar on toast. Who's having pancakes for breakfast? Have you heard of French toast? Have you heard of- Waffles?

Waffles. Where's the sugar in French toast? Maple syrup in the mix. In the mix. Is it? Yeah. Yogurt. They're all-

I just pour hot water on mine. Nah. Yuck. You're right like- I just pour hot water on mine. Nah. Yuck. You're right, mate. Honestly, I feel like I really want to make you Weet-Bix my way, and it'll blow your mind because you'll be like, oh my God, these are actually yum. We're cancelling one Weet-Bix method this afternoon, okay?

So call us, 0800-DARLS-AT-M. What's getting in the bin? Cold milk only, warm milk only, hot water only, or hot water and then cold milk? Which one are we getting rid of permanently? You can also text us

on 9696. Which one is a no-go zone? I vote to get rid of Bree's warm milk option, but I feel like I'm going to lose that battle. I feel like... It's a waste of milk.

It's too much milk. You get the milky flavour if you just pour it on the hot water ones. It gives you the essence of milk, you know too much milk. You get the milky flavour if you just pour it on the hot water ones. Gives you the essence of milk. Mate, you own like six streaming services. Bree and Clint. Welcome to the hot Weet-Bix debate we've all been waiting for, everybody.

We're trying to figure out... Have we been? Yeah, I think we have. I think deep down at our core, we've been waiting for the Weet-Bix war. And lockdown 2021, it's the time to have it. Yeah, we're at that point, guys. Week seven, here we are. We're not asking you what's the best way to have Weet-Bix.

We're asking what's the worst. And which one are we getting rid of? What method of Weet-Bix eating are we going to cancel this afternoon? We've managed to whittle it down to four categories, Bree. We have hot milk Weet-Bix, hot milk only. The best, we have hot milk Wheat Bix, hot milk only Cold milk Wheat Bix, cold milk only Still not too bad Hot water Wheat Bix, hot water only

And hot water Cold milk mix, that's my one Get rid of the last two I'm not doing any Wheat Bix with milk You can't get rid of two You can only get rid of one, so which one are you getting rid of? You have to get rid of two I mean with milk You can't get rid of two You can only get rid of one So which one are you getting rid of? You have to get rid of one I guess the all water one

You're getting rid of all water That's cancelled But your way's just bad You're mixing milk and water No mine's efficient Mine's good It gets you your Weet-Bix way faster too Because there's no

You have to muck around with the microwave No you have to boil the jug Someone else will boil the jug The jug's usually boiled See there's always a backdoor What's the one you like? You like hot milk Yeah I'm cancelling that one. No, you're not. You're just doing that because it's

mine. Yeah, well, maybe. Bex is here. Hi, Bex. Hi, Bex. Hi. First of all, how many Weet-Bix can you eat? Depends what meal I'm eating them for. Sometimes I'll have them for dessert. Usually about two or three.

Okay, cancel a method of Weet-Bix for us. Which one has got to go? Definitely hot water only. Anyone who eats their Weet-Bix like that is a psychopath. Yeah, it's satanic. What if they put a tablespoon of sugar on top of it? Nope. Just no. Who's putting water with the Weet-Bix and then being like,

hmm, this is yum. I'd argue that Weet-Bix and then being like, hmm, this is yum? I'd argue that Weet-Bix are the only cereal you can eat with just water. You know? Yeah, but why do it when you don't have to? Blade's here. G'day, Blade. G'day, Blade. Hey, how are you?

Good, thanks. What do you think, Blade? Which one has to go? I think heating up milk. Yeah, got to go. No, Blade, you got to go. See you later. Blade's right. I agree with Blade. There's a waste of milk. Yeah, got to go. No, Blade, you got to go. See you later. Blade's right.

I agree with Blade. There's a waste of milk, eh, Blade? Too much milk being used. Definitely. Half that milk gets soaked into your Weet-Bix. You don't even know that it's there. Have you tried it? Tried it?

Yes, and I hate it. Yeah. I don't believe you. She's an educated Weet-Bixer. She knows what's up. Connor is here. Kia ora, Connor. G'day, Connor.

Kia ora. Okay. What are your thoughts, Connor? Well, I'm actually a Weet-Bix, so she knows what's up. Connor is here. Kia ora, Connor. G'day, Connor. Kia ora. Okay. What are your thoughts, Connor? Well, I'm actually a Weet-Bix and cream and sugar kind of gal. Ooh, la, la. Yeah, fancy. Yeah, so fancy. But I would have to straight eliminate the hot water.

That's just foul. Sorry. Yeah, okay. Yeah, we're getting a lot of that. What are your thoughts, like, using water with Weet-Bix? It's just so bland. Yeah. Not a good idea. But a little bit of that. What are your thoughts, like, using water with Weet-Bix? It's just so bland. Yeah. Not a good idea.

But a little bit of milk on it, you know, just to give it that creaminess. That's going to get you across the line. So hot water base and then a splash of cold, cool the Weet-Bix down a little bit. No. And make them nice and creamy. Just no hot water. No. No.

Just not water. No. No, just not water. You were walking up a very steep hill. Connor uses cream. Yeah, I know. It's about as far from hot water as you can get. Finally, Chelsea, hi.

Welcome to the Great Wheat Bix War of 2021. Hi. Hello. What are your thoughts on this? Which one are you getting rid of? The hot water. That's weird. Yeah.

But I also have a better suggestion if you're doing it all wrong. Yeah. You need dry wheat bix with jam, strawberry jam, and peanut butter, and it's really good. Wait, where do you put the milk? No milk. Where do you put the hot water? You don't.

It's like a little snack. Oh, I don't know about that. Chelsea, I'm worried for how dry your mouth is going to end up. Like, are you following it with a Powerade or something? No, just lots of jam. Yeah, okay. Yeah, I think that sounds like menopause mouth to me. Yeah, it's a bit raw dog for me, Chelsea.

Oh, Chelsea. I think it's the first time menopause mouth has ever been said on the radio. I've never heard that before. You know what? We were here to cancel Weet-Bix. I think we're cancelling menopause now. I'll take it.

I'll take it for creating that U-turn. Bree and Clint from iHeartRadio. This is the latest live from LA with Dean McCarthy. Dean McCarthy's here. Remember back at the Met Gala when ASAP Rocky wore that big old blanket thing to the... Yeah, it was huge, wasn't it? Dean's got the latest on where that came from. Hi, Dean.

Hi, Dean. Hi, guys. I remember the Met Gala. You know, we're all watching, and it literally looked like ASAP Rocky who went with Rihanna to the Met Gala. He looked like he grabbed his grandma's old quilt and wrapped himself up and walked down the red carpet

with the most famous people in the world. Well, it turns out he didn't grab his own grandma's quilt, but he did grab some other person's grandma's quilt. Here's what happened. So this lady, right, watching the Met Gala goes, you know what, that looks just like the quilt my grandmother handmade and gave away like a year ago at some place in some vintage shop in LA.

Turns out, so she posted a photo of her grandma's quilt on a bed next to ASAP Rocky, and it is the actual quilt. Long story short, the stylist for ASAP Rocky found the quilt in a vintage store and had it transformed into a cape, and it really was handmade by a grandma in LA. And that's what he wore. So cool. Yeah, but at the same time, you imagine you're one of the hottest rappers in the world.

You're a huge fashion guy. People look to you. You're the fashion killer. You're paying your stylist tens of thousands of dollars a year. She's going to the Sally Army and picking up a dirty old blanket for you to wear to the Met Gala. Yeah. You know? I mean, it's one of a kind, though.

It is one of a kind, absolutely. Handcrafted. It looks like a quilt my nonna used to knit. Do you think that this lady's grandma now is going to be inundated with orders for blankets? Is she the new... Apparently she... Balenciaga.

Apparently she makes a lot of them. Yeah. Balenciaga. There you go. That's the latest on Quilt News with our Hollywood correspondent, Dean McCarthy. Probably the biggest Skittle news we've done on the show. The biggest Skittle news for me, before you do your flavour news,

is they now come in a cardboard box. Well, I don't know if they all do, but they're the only ones I could find at the servo. It's good for the environment. I know it is. Oh, no, that came with plastic wrap on it, didn't it? Yeah, it did. One step forward, two steps back, Skittles.

Anyway, that's not the Skittle news that I want to talk about. The Skittle news that I want to update people on is that they're bringing back an original flavour. Okay. And when you say, what? There's flavours? Yeah, I didn't realise there was flavours. Because that's what you said.

You were like, what do you mean? And I was like, yeah, each colour Skittle is a different flavour. I guess if you're going to taste the rainbow, there has to be different flavours. Yeah. But I just tip it in my mouth. So they all go in one big slush pit. Oh, yeah, but you don't savour them.

Yeah, or too little. Well, it's quite interesting because as of 2013, they had obviously their set flavours, which they first came out in 1979, and the green Skittle is the one that's in contention. Okay. Because they changed the flavour of the green Skittle, I think, back in 2013.

Yeah. But turns out, you know, people have complained enough and have stamped their feet enough that they're going to bring back the original green flavour. So what was the original green flavour? No, I'm not going to tell you. Oh, okay. Because I don't want to give anything away. Okay.

Because we're going to play a little game of Guess That Skittle. No, that's the wrong one. We're going to play a game. Say it again. Say it again. We're going to play a little game of Guess That Skittle flavour. Okay. Okay, so here's how it's going to work.

You're going to put a blindfold on. So just pull it down nice and perfect. And I'm going to give you each flavour of Skittle and you just have to tell me what flavour it is. Okay. Okay? So here. And by flavour, do you mean colour?

Yes. Right, okay. Well, each colour's a different flavour. But I don't know what the flavours are. That's the point. We'll figure it out. Okay, there's Skittle number one. What flavour is that?

Orange. So you're saying it's an orange flavour? Orange coloured, orange flavoured. No, that one would be purple and it's grape. Okay. Grape flavoured. Okay, here comes number two. Oh, now I get it.

Now it tastes like Fanta. Yeah, okay, yeah. Fanta? Grape Fanta. Oh. Skittle number two? Skittle number two. What flavour is that Skittle?

You should have given me a palate cleanser after the grape. Well, we're not a restaurant. I've also got a bit of a blocked nose. Green. You're going to say it's green? Yeah. That was the orange one. Oh, that's orange. Yeah. That was the orange one. Oh, that's orange.

Yeah, that is the orange. Not very good, that one. That is the orange one. Hold on. I just need to find some other flavours. Okay. So, so far you've got, you need the rest of the Skittles right to win. To win the game.

Okay. So here comes Skittle three. What flavour is that? I'm holding out for yellow. I think I like the yellow. Red? three. What flavour is that? I'm holding out for yellow. I think I like the yellow. Red. What's the flavour? Strawberry.

That is correct. Yes! Red is strawberry flavour. Yeah. Okay. Here we go. Sorry, my blindfold's getting up my nose. You need to get all of these right. What flavour is that one? That's a yellow.

That's lemon? No, that would be a green one. Oh. And it's apple. Oh, okay. Okay. So apple is the one they've brought back? So apple is the flavour they change it to,

and they're changing it back to lime flavour. So this is going to be pretty easy, this last one. So this is a yellow. Yeah. Yellow, which is lemon flavour. So the five flavours, lemon, orange, strawberry, green, and grape. But green apple is being changed to lime. Back to lime.

See, this is going to be some gag where you gave me one of those Harry Potter jelly beans, the vomit flavoured one, without me knowing and then stuck it in my mouth and then I ate a Harry Potter vomit jelly bean. Damn it, my pranking skills are slipping. We're talking scams. There's a scam going around at the moment which purports to be a courier company

for you to track your package. They've just taken a shot in the dark that every New Zealander has a courier package on the way at the moment. It's true. Yeah, one or two. It's the only little bit of joy that I'm getting at the moment.

Isn't it just? I'm just like hanging out for my packages to come. A lot of them are delayed and so they go, hey, here's a scam. They send you a link, you click it and then it installs a FluBot, whatever that is on your phone. Some people have been texting and really scared about what the FluBot would find on their phone too, you know.

So don't click the link. That's the advice. We want to know this afternoon what scam you've fallen for. Antonia is here. Hi, Antonia. Hi, Antonia. Hey, how are you? What happened to you, mate?

Did you get scammed? I did. I decided to stupidly buy a car off Facebook and the person sent me photos of it and then... I mean, that's so dumb. Who would do that? I mean, who does a thing like that? Bree bought a van off Facebook two years ago

that she'd never seen. I was being sarcastic, Antonia. But it's a real. I've done the does a thing like that? Bree bought a van off Facebook two years ago that she'd never seen. I was being sarcastic, Antonia. But it was real. I've done the exact same thing. Mine wasn't real. The car wasn't even real. What? It existed, but it was at a car dealership.

The person didn't actually own it. And then they paid for my flights to go to Christchurch to collect it, and then it was never there. You paid for your flights or they paid for them flights to go to Christchurch to collect it, and then it was never there. They paid for – you paid for your flights or they paid for them? No, they did. What? Oh, my God. So why –

Why would they not just cease communication before you got to Christchurch? That's so weird. Yeah, it was very weird. They came up with all sorts of stories about how they were sick and needed the money, and, yeah, so they'd fly me to Christchurch to pick up the car. What sort of – Why would they fly you there to Christchurch to pick up the car. What sort of... Why would they fly you there if they knew they didn't have the car? That's like actual just twisted.

It's crazy person stuff. Yeah. What sort of car did you think you were getting? A Mini Cooper S. Oh, nice. Oh, nice car. And how much did you pay them for it? $9,000.

Oh my God, Antonia. Okay, and did you get your money back? They are currently, I put them to court, and so they're currently paying $80 a month to pay it back. Are you kidding? $80 a month? Yeah. Is that all they can afford or what? Yeah, unfortunately.

Yeah, right. No, no, no, they can afford more than that because you gave them $9,000. Apparently they used it to buy drugs. Oh, no. And are they paying the bills? Are they keeping up with the bills? Yeah, yeah. So they've got a court order that comes out of their benefit, I think.

So what's the lesson? What's the lesson? You've got to learn from these things. What's the lesson you've taken? Don't buy a car without test driving it and checking it out. I think we go further than that. Don't buy a car off Facebook. Oh, but there's no fun in that.

Why not? You've got to live a little. Facebook Marketplace is the biggest scammer in the world. Take a risk, Antonia, I say. I mean, you know, it didn't work out for you. She doesn't need that right now, Brie. Brie. Look, I want to start off by saying that sometimes not all good ideas end

perfectly. But, you know, if you don't take the risk, then you don't get the reward of some of the good ideas. Sure, okay. I've been talking about it on this show for a while now. It's an eyebrow stamp or a stencil, an eyebrow stencil and a stamp where you fill in the stencil so it saves you time filling in your eyebrows. Saw it online. TikTok made me buy it and it finally arrived this morning. And I bet you will notice that I have very bold eyebrows today.

I've noticed that. They're very well filled in. If you know Bree or you've ever seen Bree, you'll know that the eyebrows take pride of place on her face. They're quite the feature. And I know you put some time into it. And I know that you want this to be a life hack that saves you hours a week. I've been sceptical from the start

and I believe that job that you've got on your face at the moment, I reckon that's had some work done to it. I may have touched them up a little bit. It was quite difficult to get the stencil to sit flat on my face, hold it on my face and then also stamp in

the stencil. So look, we'll give it another go. I think I also chose the colour that was too dark. Yeah, right. There is a lighter colour. It's quite dark. I feel like I need practice and you're the perfect person that I should practice these on.

I feel like you need to understand that this was never going to work. So, I'm happy for you to practice on me this afternoon. How do you know unless we practice on your face? Come on. Maybe this will change your life. So this is an eyebrow stamp. You're meant to just put the stencil over your face and then stamp, stamp, stamp, and your eyebrows are done.

Is that how it works? So there's different flavours of eyebrows. Which one do you think is more you? I don't like that pencil-thin one. I want some Cara Delevingne's. That one's pretty big. Yeah, that's good. That one looks like think is more you? I don't like that pencil-thin one. I want some Cara Delevingne's. That one's pretty big. Yeah, that's good. That one looks like a bit of you.

Or do you want more like a square base? Oh, that's a chunky number. That's pretty flat. I don't think that's you. I think I'm going to go this. I think this is you. Can you make me look like the guy from Schitt's Creek? I like that.

Let's do that. Let me look like the dad from Schitt's Creek. Okay. So where did this come from, by the way, this eyebrow stamp? For those listening, if it goes well, where can people get themselves an eyebrow stamp? I'm pretty sure these came from China. Okay.

Can you narrow it down at all? You would have seen them on TikTok. Just type in TikTok eyebrow stamp and it'll come up. Okay, ready. I'm ready when you are. All right, are you ready? Feel free to just. Ben, can you put on some time-filling music?

Let's do this thing. Okay. Here we go. I'm just applying the stencil. You've got very bushy brows. I've got good brows already, I think. Yeah, you do have very lush brows. Working so far.

Just need a bit more here. Just talk amongst yourself. How's it feeling for you? Absolutely fine. I've never had my eyebrows filled in before, so I don't know how it should feel. I don't think this will be your best first experience. No.

I mean, if it is, is eyebrow filling in my future? Pretty good! Yeah, is it time for the big reveal? I'm pretty stoked with that. You have a look so you can see the comparison. Okay, we've just done one eyebrow. I'm just going to take a look now. Have a look at the comparison from...

Pretty nice. Do you like it? I wanted to hate this. I quite like it. I feel like you should do the other eyebrow. Do you want me to... Okay, let's go to a song. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And we'll do it just for us. And we can do like a one word review. Damn it, I wanted to roast this thing. It's real good, isn't it? I think it's done quite a good job. Why does it look better than mine? More TikTok news. Yesterday we were talking about how China's limiting TikTok use to 40 minutes a day for young people.

Today, TikTok New Zealand have announced they're enabling auto captions. Yeah, I'm all for this. Great idea. It is a great idea, which I read an article today where the deaf community have spoken out and they're stoked. Yes. Because, you know, it obviously makes it a lot more easily used. It's inclusive.

Yeah. Yeah, yeah. So that's awesome. And I feel like a lot of social media videos are going in that direction. So the AI is getting really smart. And what it means is if you upload a TikTok video, you can just say add auto captions. It will interpret what you're saying and just add it the same way

that Instagram does it now. And then you can edit those captions slightly because a lot of it doesn't understand our Thot Kiwi accent. So you can change it where you need to. Yeah. And then if you don't enjoy watching the captions as a viewer, you can just turn them off. I think it's a really good idea.

Because what about when you want to watch videos and mindlessly scroll and your partner's asleep in the bed, you just can put the captions on. And your AirPods aren't within reach. I think it's also good because of the number of people out there I think that watch social media with no sound on, just in general. Like I watch my wife Lucy in the evenings. She'll sit there watching, she'll watch 15 Instagram stories

and people are clearly talking and she won't turn the sound on. No captions. No captions, no sound. Oh, no, I don't watch Instagram stories without sound. Oh, that's half the fun, but people do. People do. Yeah. So we've run a poll this afternoon on our Brian Clint Instagram

with no sound just asking, when you watch Instagram or TikTok, is the sound usually on or is the sound usually muted? What do you think the percentages are for people who watch it muted? People who watch it muted, 48%. You know what? You're bloody close. The total is 45% of people will watch their social media

with no sound on it. Yeah. I reckon what's the reason? Normally it's probably not to disturb someone else, I'd say. The songs on TikTok are pretty annoying. You might want to drown those out. Or you're just not into it like I don't know or it's just more peaceful

or you're in a public place I don't know yeah so closed captions or auto captions it's going to be a bloody good thing because finally well to be fair

if you didn't miss the sound originally you probably won't care about the captions either will you just another thing time for Google Down. Google, are you down, down, down, down, down, down, down? What the hell?

I think Google's actually... That's right, Google Down. Sorry, I was having a sip of water. I get a little bit parched for this game because we like to keep it quick and there's 50 KFC chicken dollars on the line. And it's quick because we're looking for the fastest Googler here this afternoon. Absolutely right.

That's right. It's you guys here in the studio. Clint, producer Anastasia, producer Ben versus you, Sue. G'day. Good afternoon. How are you? I'm sitting and watching the rain. Oh, lovely. I love doing that. Delightful. You'll be our competition this afternoon. What are we going Sitting and watching the rain. Oh, lovely. I love doing that.

Delightful. You'll be our competition this afternoon. What are we going to Google on, Sue? Um. I don't know. No, you tell us what you're Googling. Sue's like, well, Clint, you can Google on a typewriter. Sue, are you using a phone or a computer is what I mean?

I'm using a phone. Okay, we'll all use phones so it's an equal playing field. Now, Sue, have you heard this game before? I've heard it before, but I haven't actually listened fully, so I don't know how good I'll be. Okay, cool. Well, I'll give you the rules again. So the rules are I'm going to ask you a question.

You have to put that into Google, and I'm looking for the first person to yell out the most common answer that comes up for that question on Google, okay? Okay. So you don't need to say your name or anything. Just yell out the answer that you think it is, but also keep in mind if you yell the wrong answer, you're out for that question.

Got it. Okay. All right. Here we go. First to get three questions correct is the winner. Here we go. Question number one. What era did Joan of Arc

live in? What era? 1430 to 1431. That's an era. She wasn't one years old. She had a lot of impact for being one. Come on, guys.

I don't know. Producer Anastasia is very stumped. Sue, come on, Sue. What era did Joan of Arc live in? Are people confused as to what is an era? Maybe, but then we've all got Google, so we should be able to figure it out. Is Ben's microphone tuned?

Come on, Audrey, it's Ben. Sue. It's May 1431. should be able to figure it out. Is Ben's microphone too? Come on, I'll address it, Ben. Sue. It was made 1431. I'm going to give it to Sue. Yeah. What was it? So what was the answer you were looking for? I was looking, like, the 1400s.

Yeah, right. Okay. She's born then. Yeah. The early 1400s, I would have accepted. She didn't make it far out of the 1400s. I think she died quite young. But still, 1400s.

Yeah, right. Okay, good. Sue's on the board. She's on. All right, question number two. Here we go. That was a bit of a bust. Sorry, guys.

I'll take that one on the chin. Where is the TV show The Office UK set in? Where is the TV show The Office UK set in? Spookshire. That's right. It is. Slough Trading. Where is the TV show The Office UK set in? Berkshire. That's right. It is. Slough Trading Estate. Slough Trading Estate, yeah.

Berkshire. Slough. Slough. Slough, okay. Right, Producer Anastasia's on the board. Sue, you've got one. Question number three. Where is the Labrador dog breed from?

Where is the Labrador... New from? Where is the Labrador? Newfoundland. Clint's on the board. Nice work. Nice. Swoops in there. Is that also where Newfoundland's come from? Nah, I think they're from Germany.

It's a breeder dog, Anastasia. I don't understand any of today's questions. Okay, here we go. Clint's on one, Anastasia's on one, Sue's on one. Question number four. What is Meryl Streep's birth year? What is Meryl Streep's? 1949.

1949. Anastasia got in first just. Producer Ben and Clint right up the tailpipe. That one was hard because I need to finish it, but I needed to be faster. Sorry, I get so into this. Thank you for sharing that commentary that's running through your brain. No, I love it.

All right, producer Anastasia's on too. She could win it here. One of you guys needs to stop. I'm going to say producer Ben, Clint and Sue are now playing as a team for Sue. What? Yeah, that's great. Okay. For someone who has no points, happy with that.

Choose a Ben, Zin. All right, Ben and I are on Sue's team. Come on, you guys are on Sue's team. Yeah. You've got to keep Sue in this game. You've got to take down the evil Anastasia. Come on, let's make it interesting. I'm going to throw out an answer.

Question number five. What year did Apple release the first iPhone? 2007. Ben, straight in. He knew that off the top of his head. Wow, that was good, Ben. Nice work, Ben. Why were you this good when you were playing for yourself?

It's for Sue. All right, Sue, you guys are on. Sue's on too. This is the tiebreaker. Here we go, the tiebreaker. You've still got to Google as well, okay? Yep, I'm going. Yeah, good, good, good, good.

It seems like I haven't been Googling the whole time. I am, I am. My fingers are not working. Everything gets all zopped and bits and pieces in between it. All right, Sue, it's you and the boys versus Anastasia. This is the tiebreaker question for the win. Here we go. Question number six.

Who said the quote, believe you can and you're halfway there? Tina Roosevelt. Oh, you couldn't have let Sue win, could you? You just couldn't let the boys. Boo. Boo. Boo.

Shame. Shame. We call her the evil Anastasia for a reason. And you know why? Because you did that, I'm giving Sue the 50K of C. You know what? Believe in yourself, Anastasia. You're halfway there. I want to talk about this story.

It's doing the rounds at the moment online, getting a little bit of hate because a guy, a British man has shared an apology idea that he had after he had a fight with his missus. Okay. So he thought it was pretty funny, thought it was a good idea. Funny? Yeah. Funny? Yeah.

I don't know if funny is the place to start with an apology. Yeah, so you're already on the right track. I think you go sincere. You've been trained well. Let some time pass and then maybe make a joke about it in five or six years' time. Yeah, I feel like this joke is pretty off as well. Okay.

Do we know what he did first? Well, it says here, this is what it says. So he'd gotten into a fight with his partner. Yeah. But it doesn't say exactly what they had a fight about. Okay. But I think it was not very good. Okay.

I think they had an argument. And he thinks he's in the wrong, so he needs to apologise. Well, he said, he goes, I went to the pub last night and I came home and had a bit of an argument with the missus. Okay. So there's the context. He was probably a little bit drunk. She was like, why are you so late?

Yeah, why didn't you text me? Blah, blah, blah. Bit of that. Anyway, he said, I thought I would be the bigger man and apologise. So what I decided to do was get three different presents and he wrote this note that was next to the three different presents. This is what it said. The chocolates are because I love you.

The flowers are because I love you. The flowers are because I'm sorry. The tan packs are because I'm still not really sure why I'm apologising, so I guess you'll need these any day now. Oh. He was on to such a good thing. He was going so well, and then he had to. I feel like. It's not even a joke.

It's a passive-aggressive dig at her saying that she's out of line, right? Yeah. And correct me if I'm wrong, Bree, but if she does need those in the next couple of days, you do not poke the bear. Oh, it's like a bull and we see red. Literally. That's the point, yeah.

Literally. No, I just think. You know what that is? That's a point, yeah. Literally. No, I just think. You know what that is? That's a non-apology. You may as well not apologise. Yeah, he effectively hasn't. He's walking a very, very thin tightrope, I'm telling you. Do you reckon?

I reckon he's crossed the line. Absolutely. He definitely has. I feel like I'd love to have seen her face because she would have noticed the box of tampons straight away. Yeah, yeah. She probably never even saw the chocolates. No.

Or the flowers. She wouldn't even remember that once she saw those. And let's be fair, no doubt, he hasn't even bought her brand. No. Probably had no idea what she actually uses, which is even worse. Shall we try and take some calls this afternoon on apology gifts? Because there are good apology gifts and there are bad apology gifts. I saw, you know what's so weird is because we were talking about this today, I saw on

Shortland Street last night for the episode that's going to air tonight, like the teaser, one of the characters goes, well, you need to buy her a car as an apology. A car? And Chris Warner goes, a car? And she goes, well, it's either that or a big diamond. Nothing says I'm sorry like a big diamond. Jesus, what has Chris Warner done this time? I don't know.

Must be bad. Scandal. He must have killed somebody. We want to know, I reckon we do it like this. What was the gift. What was the... What was the... No, what was the gift? What was the gift?

What was the gift you got to apologise? And then we'll ask, what did you do? Yeah, what was the crime? Yeah. Yeah, yeah, okay. What did you get as the gift to apologise to Grovel? Yes. Because of something.

Yeah. And what was that something you did? Or what gift did you receive? Yeah. Yeah. Either way. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, $800 a day.

Or you can text us on 9696 with your apology gift stories. Bree and Clint. Did you buy someone back with things? Did you apologize by buying someone all the gifts in the world? Maybe it works. Maybe you know your partner's love language is gifts, you know? And you're like, babe, I'm buying you this because I know you so well. Can I just say lucky them?

Yeah. Because I mean, you don't have to do as much groundwork. You go out and you buy, you know, a hamper. Boom. A hamper? A hamper. I don't mind a hamper. You want a hamper? Does it got cheese in it? Not usually. It's mostly dried goods. It's crackers and balsamic

vinegar. No, they're crap hampers. I hate those hampers. Anyway, we want to know what apology gift you got or gave. And Debbie's caught up. Hi, Debbie. G'day, Debbie. Hi. Did you have to do the apologising? No, it wasn't me that was doing the apologising.

It was my husband that was doing the apologising. Okay. I'm shocked, Debbie. Tell us, Debbie, what was the crime? Okay, the crime was I had taken his car to Rotorua for a weekend and on the way back I had broken his car by hitting a bank. He was a little bit upset when I got home. And then a few days later I came home to a house with no children,

an open fire, flowers chocolates presents and meal cooked for me for him to turn around and tell me he was divorcing me the next day Wait, that story Wait, that story is insane I had no idea where that story was going most of the time

Why is he apologising to you for you crashing his car? Well I thought originally it was because he got a little bit angry, but obviously it was not. Who does all of that to divorce somebody? I don't. Who does all of that to divorce somebody? Yeah, that's weird, Debbie.

I know. I know. I think his reasoning, if I can remember, because it was a couple of years ago, his reasoning was because he actually liked me, so he thought he'd do something nice. Well, I mean, it's better than a stick in the eye.

Did you get divorced, or was it an overreaction to the car crash and he saw sense or something? No, no, no, we got the divorce. Your story is unique. It's quite unique, and as I said, better than a poke in the eye with a stick. Thanks, Debbie. I'm glad that kind of worked out for you, better than a poke in the eye with a stick. Thanks, Debbie.

I'm glad that kind of worked out for you, I guess. I really am interested on this text that someone has put through. Someone said my best mate bought a $60,000 Audi. Are you texting our... No. Is your friend texting our text? I don't have $60,000 to spend on a car. Get real. They bought a $60,000

Audi a few years back without telling his wife. Oh. Yeah, this is very risky. And as an apology to his wife, he had to take the whole family to Thailand for a week. And on top of that, the wife got to stay for an extra week

to get her boobs done. Okay, let's unpack this for a second. First of all, must be nice to that whole text. What a situation to be in. I mean, good situation to be in. I would have taken the Audi. She hasn't punished him at all. No, because he got to go to Thailand.

And she got some new boobies. And that's a present for him. He's going to love that. He's a genius. He's gotten out the Scott Green. He's a genius. He's bought himself an Audi with no permission, and then he's gone, you know what? he's a genius. He's gotten out. He's a genius. He's bought himself an Audi with no permission. And then he's gone, you know what?

That was a dumb thing of me to do. Let me take the family to Thailand. And she's like, that's not enough. And he's then upsold her to some new boobies. What would you have wanted if, if your partner did that? What, boobs or an Audi? No, what would you have wanted if your partner bought something that expensive without you knowing? Um, the same. What would you have wanted if your partner bought something that expensive without you knowing?

The same. I would want, if they bought a $60,000 car, I'd go, well, find $60,000 in the budget for me to get something. I want this Range Rover. Yeah. That's what I want. Someone else on the text machine, just before we get to our last caller, said, I bought my partner an Apple Watch and AirPods because her dog died. Wait a minute. Did you kill the dog?

Did you kill the dog? Oh, my God. I wish we could talk to that person. Yeah, that's quite interesting. Because if the dog just died, lovely gift. Yeah, just a lovely gift gesture. If you killed the dog or – I don't know if it's –

Those Apple Watches are very expensive. No, it doesn't make up for the dog. The poor dog. Yeah. I think we might have lost our last caller, unfortunately. Oh, no. There they are. I know we got them back.

Okay, Anonymous. Hello, Anonymous. Hello. Tell us, Anonymous, what was the crime first? So me and my partner, we broke up, and I just wanted nothing to do with him anymore. He wanted nothing to do with me. We had settled it. We had

broken up. And then I had moved in with my sister and three days later on the doorstep there was a slab of sea lord salmon and a blue roe. A blue roe? Like fishies? Yeah, like a of sea lord salmon and a blue rose.

A blue rose? Like fishies? Yeah, like a coloured rose from the supermarket. Oh, blue rose. I thought she said blue row like caviar as well. Yeah, right. Oh, no. But there was a... Wait, he bought you some fish and flowers?

Yeah. As a take-me-back gesture? Yeah. Oh, wait. I think we got it wrong. I think it's a blue gesture. Yeah. Oh, wait. I think we got it wrong. I think it's a blue robe. Rosa. No, rose.

Like a flower. Like a flower. Yeah. Well, producers, you stitched me up with that one, didn't you? They're looking at me going, it's robe. It's robe. Wait, wait. We've got to figure this out.

That's a bizarre gift. Did it work? Did you take him back with some salmon, some sea lord salmon? My favourite colour is blue. Yeah, hang on. We've got to build up to this. We've got to know. And I do like salmon.

Yes, and? And one plus one. Equals? Equals a blue rose and a piece of salmon. Equals? She said two. She said two. She said two. It works.

Did you get back together? Yes, and we've been together for over six years. There we go. We found it. We own a house together. It's about to start our life. This is... Blurge on a couple of cans of tuna and you'll...

I know. I'll get the girls. Salmon. Not tuna. Salmon, okay'll get the girls swooned. Not tuna, salmon, okay? Yeah, tuna, salmon, same thing. That's the key to a girl's heart. The rich fish.

Tuna, salmon. Bree and Clint. Time for Birthday Banger. It's my birthday, it's my birthday. Bree and Clint's Birthday Banger. Right, here comes another birthday banger to get up you.

Because I hate it. Oh, my God. My partner and everyone gets so annoyed how much I say, how awful. It's like the worst day. Other than Christmas, it's the worst day of the year to have a birthday. Do I say this to you all the time? Yeah, all the time. It's so interesting.

Gemma, I'm like your partner. Everyone's either too poor, too hungover or away. Too tired. Yeah, or away on holiday. Just invent a new birthday. Yeah, guys. We'll talk about that. Gemma.

It's a great song. I love this song. Big brothers. And I feel like it's kind of a little bit of a forgotten gem. I love this song. Big brothers.

And I feel like it's kind of a little bit of a forgotten gem. Yeah, totally. Do you like this, Gemma? Yeah, that's good. Good stuff. Okay, wait there. Let's go to Kelsey. Hi, Kelsey.

It was good. Got all the work done. Yeah, it sounds like it sucked. You're like saying it through a gritted smile. You're like, it was all right. What's your birthday, Kelsey? 30th of March, 96. All right, Kelsey, you were 16 in 2012.

And on the 30th of March in 2012, this had a number one hit. Carly Rae. You like that, Kelsey? Yeah. It brings back a lot of memories. This might be going against what a lot of people think. I rate that song. It's a great song.

I think it's a banger. It's her other music that people were dubious about. Oh. Yeah, yeah. That's the thing about a one-hit wonder. No one argues with the hit. It was so big. It was great.

Wait there, Kelsey. For me, it's Big Brothers and New Flow. That stood out so much today. I like that. New Flow, Big Brothers. I know it's Cara's birthday, but Gemma, we've got to go with you. Congratulations. You've just won birthday banger.

And New Flow, the winner of Birthday Banger today. Yeah, no regrets. It's a forgotten hat, right? It's good. Someone on the text machine, because we're having that chat about horrible birthdays, like actual days to be born on because of where it sits in the year. Someone said, try having the 2nd of January for your birthday. Yeah, just as bad.

2nd of January, 3rd of January. Can we talk about the idea that we had before COVID hit? Oh, yeah, we never talked about this. Yeah, I want to talk about it and hopefully we still get to do it at some point. It might be a little bit different. We were literally a week away from launching this competition in February of 2019.

Yeah, so I always talk about- No, 2020. 2020. So I always talk about how much I hate the day that my birthday's on because it's around New Year's and everyone's spent all their money and done all that. And people who have a crappy birthday know. So it's like Christmas Day, horrible.

Christmas Eve. Christmas Eve. Boxing Day. New Year's is not bad because you get to go out with friends Yeah September 11th's been a bad birthday for a while Yeah it's not great I mean

Birthday on a leap year And the idea was We were going to give you the best birthday It was called the best worst birthday ever And it was a competition where we were going to ask people Who had really crappy birthdays That fell on bad days and then we were going to take them to Vegas. As in Las Vegas. Yes. The flights were booked like they were paid for. So I was going to get the birthday that I always wanted because I've never had it and then we were going to share that with one of you guys that also

has a horrible birthday. We were going to Vegas for a birthday party with a bunch of winners and then the week before we launched it Ross goes, hey, this coronavirus thing is really starting to pick up some traction. I don't think you're going to be able to go. And we said, oh, fun sponge. And we were like, oh, come on, Ross.

Calm down. And then like three days later we went into like a full level lockdown. Yeah. We should release the days later we went into like a full level lockdown. Yeah. We should release the video that we made for it. Do you know? I really – We've got a full video. We've got like a campaign made. I was about to go.

We're a week away from launching it. And you know what? Typical because it was for my birthday that it got cancelled. Always bloody happens. Guys, I've got space news. Ah, The Final Frontier. It's quite good, actually. Very gripping story.

It all took place on September the 16th, so not that long ago. It was the world's first all-civilian astronaut crew that took off on the Inspiration4 mission for three days on SpaceX Dragon spacecraft. Yeah, it was Elon Musk's one. He blasted it off. His point of difference was that Bezos put himself on the rocket. Branson put himself on the rocket.

Elon went, you know, I'll just put civilians on the rocket. I'll stay here. Yeah, yeah. And maybe there was a reason he wasn't on the spacecraft. Right. Have you heard about this story? Is it the toilet issue? Yeah, have you heard about this?

Yeah, yeah. This is terrifying, if I'm honest. So terrifying. Elon Musk tweeted that they had had some challenges with the toilet on board the spacecraft. But crew member Jared Isaacman has since explained what happened to cause a significant issue alarm in an interview. So from what I get from that, someone has dropped such a bad bomb

in the toilet, it set the whole spacecraft alarm off. You think someone's blocked up the space toilet? Yes, that's what I reckon. A couple of things. I think it'd be quite easy to block a toilet in zero gravity because how do you get it to go down, first of all? Well, it's a very big issue. Second of all, I don't know if that's what it was.

I think maybe the toilet, because things on the aircraft can malfunction and I think maybe the toilet, because things on the aircraft can malfunction, and I think maybe the toilet just malfunctioned. The scarier bit would be being in space and knowing that you can't go, knowing that the toilet is out of order. Yeah, that is terrifying. You know?

Being like, what am I going to do? Am I in my suit? Exactly right. Where does it go once it's in the suit? It's not even like that episode of Sex Education, the new one. You can't even tip it out the window. It's horrible. You're stuck with your space poos in your hand. Can you imagine?

Space bowels, not good. It says that the waste management system malfunctioned and that triggered the alarm. Yeah, right. Any alarm up there would be terrifying, especially because, like you said, it's all civilian. There was no astronaut pilot on the spacecraft. It was, like, automated.

Yeah. So you'd turn to the person next to you going, do you know how to fly this thing? And they'd go, no, I don't know how to fly this thing. You'd go, was that you? I've got a who's the a-hole in this situation question to ask. Someone has posted about their house. So they got married. New brides posted this.

And then they went away on a short honeymoon, four-day honeymoon. When they got home from honeymoon, her new in-laws had been staying in their house. So they asked the in-laws to house-set for them. Yeah, they said, can you look after our house for us? We're going on a honeymoon. When they got back, they found that their in-laws had finished the leftover wedding cake that was in the house. Now, it doesn't say in this post that the wedding cake was in the freezer.

It reads like the wedding cake was in the fridge. They said they wanted to save some wedding cake for their one-year anniversary. I think that's a pretty standard thing. Yep. The in-laws who are house-sitting ate the wedding cake. There was none left. Who in this situation is the a-hole?

Is it the in-laws for eating the wedding cake? Or is it the bride for getting upset at the people who she asked to house-sit for her just eating the food that's in the fridge bride for getting upset at the people who she asked to house for her just eating the food that's in the fridge they're doing her a favor yeah um i feel like it should have been in the freezer yep then the parents would have known obviously yeah because that's a pretty like common thing yeah to put some in the freezer so you can eat it on your one year anniversary. They didn't do that. They've left it in the fridge.

Oh yeah, touch and go. How long is cake good for in the fridge? Not longer than three days. Because I can see it from the in-laws perspective, especially if it's got a cream on it or something, they're going, we don't want this special cake to go to waste. What's the best thing we can do with it? Let's eat it.

Eat it. Also, I think there's an unspoken rule that if you're house sitting for someone, want this special cake to go to waste what's the best thing we can do with it let's eat it also i think there's an unspoken rule that if your house sitting for someone the fridge is fair game yes that's one thing you're allowed anything in the fridge absolutely anything from going into their um uh wine collection maybe a bit that's that's a no um what else is out of bounds in the kitchen area like uh very little i think like if i'm looking up to your house and you've got a nice Maybe a bit iffy. That's a no for me. What else is out of bounds in the kitchen area? Like, very little, I think. Like, if I'm looking up to your house and you've got a nice olive oil,

I'm going to use it. It's a chattel. Yeah, you don't have to bring your own olive oil. Yeah. That's one of the perks you get for house sitting. So you've got some wedding cake in the fridge. I'm going to assume you left it for me. So did they say to the parents, don't eat this. We want to save it. Don't eat this, we want to save it,

don't eat it? I don't actually know. She hasn't specified. Oh, is this one of those situations where she said we wanted to keep it. She said we wanted to save it. Where someone goes, oh, but you should have known. Yeah, I think it is. Well, if it's not in the freezer,

nah. Yeah, exactly right. Nah, she has no right to be angry. Good, we're on the same page. And there you go, if it's not in the freezer, nah. Yeah, exactly right. Nah, she has no right to be angry. Good, we're on the same page. And there you go, if you're house letting for someone right now, and there's anything that looks particularly good in the fridge, go for it. Just go nuts. Go, get in there. Fill your boots. Just take some home if you want. Unless it's

medication that they have to keep in the fridge, in which case just steer clear. Steer clear of that. Or, you know, at least read the instructions. Don't take too much Play ZM's Brand Clint On Insta Facebook
