The ZM Podcast Network. G'day everybody, welcome to the show. It's Bree and Clint. Good afternoon everyone, happy Wednesday. Did you get the football last night? Nah. Mate, I've been literally on my deathbed. Yeah, I know, but you had tickets. You think I went to the football?

I wish. Yeah. I watched it from home, though. Sold out, eh? Sold out. Did you know someone set off a fire alarm? Yeah, I heard it. I heard it on the TV.

Oh, really? You could hear it. If you were watching it on the TV, I kept thinking it was outside, but it was on the TV, yeah. How come they don't evacuate the whole stadium in that situation? And what would happen to the game? Someone was vaping in the toilets. Yeah. That's what I heard. Did you watch the Paddy Gower on

vaping thing last night? I didn't, but it's on my list. I want to watch it. It's on my list. Apparently he makes a Lamington flavoured vape on there. Does he? Yeah, I thought it was going to be anti-vaping, but no, it sounds like Paddy Gower was just in there making some new flavours. I heard in the vape kitchen mixing up some new recipes.

I think it is a negative. He's launching, I heard he's launching his own line. I don't know about that. Paddy Gower on vapes. The PGV. Have a suck on Paddy. Oh God. I don't watch it either, but I'm keen to.

Okay, we've got $250 to give away on a New World voucher at 5 o'clock today to someone who has submitted their kitchen hack. If you've got one, you've still got time to go and do it at ZM Online. We'll get someone's hack on air at 5. But first, it's time for Tradie vs Lady. Yeah, if you want to win $50 cash, then you have to call us

now, 0800-DIAL-ZM and we'll see who can take it out this afternoon. It's Tradie versus Lady. Let's go. Good to be back for Tradie versus Lady. How have the games been going? One apiece.

Has anyone been keeping score? Yeah, one apiece. Good. So it's all tied up in terms of wins for the week. For the week, yeah, but ladies are still out in front. Let's see who can take it out. Trady's on 64 for the year. The lady's on 68.

Our lady's calling from Christchurch. She's 38 years old and she loves this game. Well, it's good to have you on then. Welcome to the show, Katie. G'day, Katie. Hi, how are you going? Good, thanks. How do you normally go when you play along in the car, Katie?

Usually quite good but yesterday not so well. Yeah, right. Well, those are Maddie's questions. They're a bit more complex. He's on the news and stuff like that. Back to your basic bee questions from Clint and I, Katie. So don't worry about that. You're taking on our tradies

today. They're calling from the Coromandel. They're 41 years old and they are the most boring person out there. Welcome to the show, Cliff. G'day, Cliff. Hello, how are you? Good, thank you, Cliff. Tell us, the most boring guy out there, what did your weekend consist of?

Playing Fortnite with my kid. Yeah, nice. Well, that sounds fine, but you said it in a very boring way. Yeah, nice. Well, that sounds fine, but you said it in a very boring way. Drops on. I agree with you. Oh, you've got to meet the expectations. Yeah, exactly right. Rise to the occasion.

Play the part, Cliff. Cliff, your buzzer is tradie. Katie, your buzzer is lady. First one of you to get three questions correct is going home with $50 cash. Good luck. All right, guys, here we go. Question number one. News today that teachers are in line for a 14.5% pay rise. What is 14.5% of $100?

Trady. Yes, Cliff. $14.50. I wouldn't have got that, but you did well, Cliff. Nice work. You would have got that. No, I wouldn't have. You wouldn't have got that.

I probably would have panicked and been like, can't do it, maths, can't do it. Wow. Yeah. Okay. Question number two, one to the tradies. Buzz in when you can tell me who sings this song. Yes, Cliff.

Is that Natasha Bedingfield? Well done, Cliff. It is Natasha Bedingfield. You like the hills, Cliff. Is that Natasha Bedingfield? Well done, Cliff. It is Natasha Bedingfield. You like the hills, Cliff? No, I just remember her brother, Daniel. Yeah. Oh, he had some bangers as well, didn't he? One, I think.

Oh, two. Two? Two bangers. Yeah, two bangers. All right, two to the tradies. Katie, you need this one here to stay in it. Question number three. If I was at an OPSM store, what would I be shopping for?

Brady. Yes, Cliff, for the win. Glasses. He's got it. Jeez, well done, Cliff. That is a tradie versus lady down trail. You've got 50 bucks cash coming your way thanks to KFC. Congratulations, Cliff, the most boring man on the Coromandel.

Well, maybe my family won't think so much of you. Yeah, it's pretty exciting. Way to downplay it too, Cliff. You smoked that round. Bree and Clint. At what age do you think you were when you finally felt a bit financially stable. Oh. Like you weren't living off rice noodles and, you know.

Going down to your last dollar. Yeah, getting a bag. Before payday. Getting a goon sack to see out the weekend. Not until my 30s. Really, in your 30s? Yeah, probably 30. Okay.

Probably 30. Yeah. It's one of those things where I feel like universally, like all young 20-year-olds, we all kind of know what each other's going through. Yeah, and you know, especially if you are friends with people that you work with, you have the same payday.

Yeah. And you know the weekends where you're flush and you know the weekends where you are just scraping by. You go on day to day. Yeah. I reckon it would have been, I probably would have been about 28 when I was like, oh, wow, I can pay my rent and fill up my tank full of petrol this week. Yeah.

Yeah. Actually, I reckon it was probably 29. You know? Yeah. But I mean, still not. It's late 20s for sure. Late 20s. They're saying these days, the statistics out that Gen Z, it's going to take longer for them to get to that point.

Right. And they reckon it's due to the fact that inflation is increasing faster than wage growth. So you're not getting the pay rise fast enough to keep up with how much things cost. Well, inflation's like 7.5%, I think. Yeah. And I don't think many people are getting a 7.5% pay rise every year.

So essentially, if you're not, you're going backwards. Yeah, correct. Because things are getting more expensive and you're not getting the money to pay for it. Yeah. It's quite a scary thought. So what age are they putting financial stability at for Gen Zs? Well, they're saying like it's going to be now into your early to late, like early to mid 30s.

Which sucks for the parents of Gen Zs because that means they're staying at home. For a lot longer. For a lot longer. A lot longer. Hey, mum, what do you think about us having a wedding in the backyard? Oh, I mean, not a bad idea, really, to save money these days. My sister did that. Oh, yes, she did too.

And then my brother's getting married in December and they asked, do you want to have your wedding here in the backyard? And my brother was like, absolutely not. And now he's like panicking because his wedding is costing so much money. He's already turned down the backyard. Yeah. Go to the parents' backyard. Just go to the backyard.

We've got quite a good backyard. It's big enough. I thought we could ask people this afternoon to describe in one word the reason why they think they're poor. The thing that's sucking the most money out of you. The thing that you think you're wasting the most money on, if you can sum it up in one word, we'd love to hear from you this afternoon.

I know what mine is, and it's kind of ironic because this thing's meant to be making me money. Okay. It's lotto. Is that what's draining? What about coffee? Coffee? Nah.

How many coffees do you have a day? Well, I'll only buy one a day. Okay. You're buying one a day. Coffee's free here at work. You're buying one a day. How much? How much?

Six bucks. Six bucks. That is an absolute rip. So six bucks. Don't work it out. Don't try and suck the joy out of my little pleasure. 2,200 bucks. That is an absolute rip. So six bucks. Don't work it out. Don't try and suck the joy out of my little pleasure. 2,200 bucks, silly. Yum.

I mean, are you spending more on Lotto? How much are you spending on Lotto? None of your business. Okay. Claudia, in one word, why are you poor? What's the thing? Concerts. Oh.

Oh, that's a good one. You did Lizzo last week. Yeah. It's my treat myself thing. You did Lizzo last week. Yeah. It's my treat myself thing. You're doing Taylor Swift. I'm doing Taylor. I'm doing Post Malone.

Once Jonas Brothers goes on sale, I'm going to have to get that too. And good for you. And Paramore. It's going to be great. Make memories, not money, babes. Very expensive these days. Ella, why are you poor? Parking tickets. So much money.

Every day, you think you're going to beat the system. They've got those robot cameras now. There's no beating them. No. There's no beating them. You can't. They just drive past and film 100 cars in a minute. Yeah.

It's ruining everything. Brie, one word while you pour. Uber Eats. It is killing me. At the moment, I'm getting onto that DoorDash life. Oh, you've got to hit up Tom Sainsbury. Is he the face? I think he's the spokesperson for DoorDash. DoorDash is the new one, eh? Yeah, I want to get a couple more of those discount codes from DoorDash. Tom Sainsbury. I'm going to message him. Tom Sainsbury. Tom, hook me up with some DoorDash. He's the spokesperson. God. Imagine being the spokesperson for a meal delivery company.

That is my dream. Yeah. I'd be a millionaire because I'd save so much money. 0800 dial ZM. Or you can text yours into 9696 and we'll just read it out. We want to know, in one word, why are you poor? What's the thing? Bree and Clint.

Chris is here. Hi, Chris. Hi, Chris. Kia ora, guys. It's like financial therapy. Give it to us. In one word, why are you broke? Lewis Road Creamery, Chris. Kia ora, guys. It's like financial therapy. Give it to us. In one word, why are you broke? Lewis Road Creamery, honestly.

Lewis Road Creamery. It's a long word, but I get it. It's just kind of keeping the bank account down a little bit. What is it? Is it the milk or is it the butter or is it the... It's the milk. Yeah. I'm getting a double espresso every morning. So it's...'s the milk. Yeah. Like getting a double espresso every morning.

So it's... Hard to resist. Yeah. Can you buy in bulk, Chris? I've been looking at discount shops every time I look. I look for the dairy section to see if I can find a bunch.

You're looking for some expired Lewis Road creamery. Because when I think... On the edge. On the edge, yeah. I don't know if I'd want to buy in the discount section for dairy. I mean, I the edge. Yeah, on the edge. On the edge, yeah. I don't know if I'd want to buy in the discount section for dairy. I mean, I've managed to score, what, five for three bucks. Oh, not bad.

Oh, okay. Not bad. So long as you consume them quickly, there's nothing wrong with close to expired, you know? Yeah. Thanks, Chris. We appreciate it. I like this one.

We've asked people to text through the main sole reason that they're so broke, and someone said children's sporting fees. Definitely not a waste, but drowning sometimes. The number of people who have just texted in kids is the reason they're broke. Can I add to the list also animals or pets? Yeah. Like my dogs.

I swear. I'm like, you guys need to start pulling your own weight because this is getting ridiculous. Ethan's here. Hi, Ethan. Hi, Ethan. Hi, Ethan. G'day. Give it to us. One word.

Why are you broke? Vinyl. Vinyl? Oh, hipster. How many vinyls are you collecting? Yeah, I've probably got about 500 records. Oh, okay. Wow, that's a big collection.

What's your rarest? My rarest is an original pressing Lord of the Rings soundtrack and it has it numbered on the back. It's like numbered, I don't know, however many out of only 5,000. Damn, the Lord of the Rings soundtrack slaps too. Ethan.

It absolutely does. Ethan, leave some ladies for the rest of us, alright Ethan? They do appreciate in value. Exactly right. I saw someone online selling it. I bought it for probably about $120. I saw someone selling it online for a grand.

I'm not doubting that it's a good investment, Ethan. Not doubting that one bit. He's dumb not to buy it. Mate, he's losing money if he doesn't buy it. Let's go to Maria. Hi, Maria. Hi, Maria. Hi.

Give it to us. One word. Why are you broke? I hate to say this, but university. Oh. I feel you on that, Maria. So expensive. How much is your student loan?

Oh, $65,000. And what do you study? I'm doing my post grad at the moment but I'm doing physiotherapy at the moment oh wow yeah you'll make that back as a physiotherapist won't you I don't know every physiotherapist I know

is driving a Range Rover Marie's like if I can get a job what physiotherapist do you know? Yeah, it was a joke. Oh, right. Gotcha. Let's go to Alana, finally. Hi, Alana.

Hi, Alana. Hi. Tell us, Alana, what is the sole reason you're so broke? Lego. Lego. Wait, Lego? Are you a big Lego fan? Yeah, my kids and I, we

like to build Lego sets together and so yeah, we've got a few. What's the most expensive set of Lego that you've bought, Alana? It would be the Simpsons house and it was

about $700. Cool! For Lego! $700. Cool. For Lego, $700 for Lego. That's a cool one. What's the Titanic worth? It's amazing. The Titanic Lego set. That's over $1,000. Is it?

Is it really? It's huge. Oh, my God, I had no idea. Yeah, okay, I get it, Alana, that'll keep you broke, but hey, at least you're having fun, at least you've got a cool hobby, at least you've got something to do with the kids, right? Exactly. At least it also got a cool hobby. At least you've got something to do with the kids, right? Exactly.

At least it also takes a while too. Like it's not something that just is done like that, you know? Bree and Clint. This story that is doing the rounds all over the world now is hilarious. It's about Tauranga woman Sophie Hucker. So about a week ago she posted quite a strange story because she returned home from work and in the middle of her driveway, cemented into the ground was a two-metre high pole.

Like a metal pole. Like a metal pole. It was cemented into her driveway. She had no idea why it was there. She had not ordered it. She didn't know what it was for. No one was there and she had no idea why it was there. She had not ordered it. She didn't know what it was for. No one was there. And she had no idea how it got there.

It doesn't sound like an accident. Does it? It's weird. It sounds like someone hates her or a steel rod has fallen from space and just happened to land in the centre of her driveway. You know? Yeah. I mean, there's a bunch of different things you could use the pole for.

Only one comes to mind, but yeah. Pole dancing. Yeah. Basketball hoop. Yeah, okay, yeah. You could put a string on it and then in one of those tennis balls and play that game where you hit the tennis ball back and forth. You could dance around the old Maypole.

Yes, that's a good one. What else? You could pretend that you're a fireman, but instead of coming down the pole, that's a good one. What else? You could pretend that you're a fireman, but instead of coming down the pole, you go up the pole. Yeah, it's quite hard to go up, isn't it? You could flag, flagpole. Yeah, you could put a flag on it. You could put a flag on it.

Put a flag on it. Heaps of things you could do for it. What you can't do is park your car in your own driveway. Exactly. Anyway, she's posted about it, and she thought that it had been delivered by mistake until she realised that it was cemented into the ground. That's the thing. Yeah.

That's the weird bit. So there was no moving that pole. Anyway, a bunch of people started talking about it, started to do the rounds. Everyone was discussing, you know, where did this bloody pole come from? And a week went by and finally she's gotten some answers. Okay. Which is great. So it turns out to be a case of mistaken identity slash address. Yeah.

And a company has come forward and said, yeah, look, we're pretty sorry about that. We got the wrong address. A what? A pole installation company? I think it was a fencing installation company. Yeah. And it might have been the initial pole that they were putting in.

A two-metre high pole in the middle of her driveway? They said, look, yeah, that's our bad. Yeah. And they have since come back and removed the pole. I bloody hope so. And have put the cement. Fixed her driveway. Fixed her driveway. Yeah, right.

Apparently they were very apologetic. I'll bet they were. I'll bet they were. Oh, well, mystery solved. Mystery solved. Yeah, I would be furious. Would you? Because the mystery would drive me insane.

It'd be so weird. Apparently she left a note on the pole just saying, Whose pole is this? Who left their pole here? I know nothing about this. Okay, well, I'm glad they got to the bottom of it. That's a good result. Time for the latest. Okay, well, I'm glad they got to the bottom of it. That's a good result. Bree and Clint.

Time for the latest. From iHeartRadio, this is The Latest. This Lizzo story is wild that is in the news today. Obviously, she's just been here in the country. She's just been to Hobbiton. And now Lizzo is being accused of sexual harassment and creating a hostile work environment by three of her former backup dancers. Yeah, this is...

When did this news break today? It's come out today. The people who are accusing Lizzo of these things were on the... Did you watch the show Watch Out for the Big Girls? Yeah, I have seen a few episodes. Amazon Prime show. They said that there's a whole lot of stuff that they're alleging

that happened. They're saying that Lizzo commented on their weight at certain times, which seems very out of character, doesn't it? Yeah, I mean, I'm not going to say anyone's a liar. No, no, no, me neither. I'm just saying it doesn't... Seems very unusual. Yeah, I think you can say it seems strange. Seems very strange. Without saying that anybody is lying because, I mean, I have absolutely no idea

what goes on inside Lizzo's, you know, business. Nah. Some of them are claiming they had to dance for 12 hours. They were so scared that they were going to lose their jobs that they had to dance for 12 hours and quote-unquote soil themselves. Oh, God, okay. Yeah, that doesn't sound like good working conditions.

One of them accuses Lizzo of taking them to a nude cabaret bar in Paris without disclosing the nature of the cabaret club and ultimately robbing them of their choice not to participate in the night. Right, okay. I'm just giving you the facts. Any more? Yeah, there's some more, but they're a bit full on, to be honest.

Okay. Yeah, anyway. So are they going to go to court then, obviously? Yes, it's going to go to court, yeah. It could get thrown out straight away or the thing could go through the court. So it could be a full Ellen DeGeneres situation where, yeah, just, it's a lot.

I mean, it is a lot, but, you know, that's the day and age we live in, isn't it? Yeah, Lizzo hasn't said anything yet. She has yet to respond to the legal filing, is the official news on that one. It'd be interesting to see how far it does go and how much evidence. Of course.

You know? Of course, of course. Yeah, there you go, that's the latest. Bree and Clint. We're talking about the pitfalls of travelling with friends when things go bad. You know,

if you're on a trip with a friend and you guys have a falling out, it can make for a very awkward and very hard rest of your holiday. It really can. And it's a nightmare situation, isn't it? We've asked you to call up and tell us, did you lose friends on a trip?

This person wants to be anonymous. Hi, Anonymous. Hi, Anonymous. Hi. So you were in Japan. Tell us what happened. So we're in Japan and we went out. It was like, I don't know, probably the first or second night we were there.

We went out for some dinner and one of my friends met this boy. And they got along quite well. So he came back and stayed with us. And then he just stayed with us the whole time. And when we were staying, we had like two rooms booked. And so we obviously weren't allowed any more people. We got caught. He got caught there and she just refused to pay for an extra person.

So we got kicked out. You guys got kicked out because of him? No. What a mocha that guy was. Yeah, and she just was like, I'm not paying for him. He is just staying here. He's just my friend. And he was just a rando that she'd met?

Yeah, yeah. God, she falls fast, doesn't she? I'll say. Yeah. Are you still friends with this person now? Did your friendship survive the trip? No. Yeah, didn't think so.

Yeah, that's an awkward situation, especially like, you know, putting your friends in the position where they might not feel comfortable having some random stay the whole time. Your responsibility is to your friends in that situation, not to some random guy. It's not all about you. No, you've gone as a group. Like, I understand, you know, a bit of fun,

maybe they come back for a night or, you know, whatever. But, yeah, come and stay for the whole trip. Also, from what I know about Japan, those rooms are very small. Yeah, I can't imagine them being real big. This person wants to be anonymous as well. Hi, Anonymous. Hi, Anonymous. Hi.

Did you ever falling out with a friend on a trip? Well, not quite a trip. I moved over to the UK and ended up living with my friend of 8 years and everything was all working out pretty well until I realised she wanted a live-in nanny for her 2 year old son

and I wanted to travel because I'd never been overseas before and some things got on top of us, like me not doing all of their washing and that sort of thing. Why would you be doing all of their washing? I don't know. But it ended up in a massive argument. And I ended up leaving that night,

packed up my suitcase and ended up staying in London for a month before I figured myself out and decided whether or not I wanted to stay in the UK or come back home. Please tell me you stayed on. Please tell me you made a good trip out of it and it didn't ruin it for you.

I actually did. She and I never got back to being friends at all. I don't know what she's up to these days, but I ended up meeting the love of my life. I got married and we happily have a one-year-old now. Wait, you did all of that on your trip? Yeah. Plot twist. I mean, what a trip! That's an amazing outcome. Yeah. Okay, thanks for sharing that, Anonymous. Definitely turned it around. Someone texted and said, my friend and I went on a trip together.

Whilst away, my grandmother passed away and I was unable to get home in time for the funeral, so I stayed on. She was more concerned with making new friends than being supportive to me and left me on my own and didn't invite me to join her and her new friends. I tried to keep the peace, but by the time we got home, we weren't friends anymore. Yeah, that'll do it. Yeah. That'll definitely do it.

Someone else said, it wasn't a falling out for me as such, but I was on a 37-day contiki in Europe and two sisters were in our group. One was completely deaf and the other used sign language so that the other sister could communicate with everybody. Yeah, gotcha. The two sisters had a falling out and wouldn't speak to each other. So the poor sister who

was deaf couldn't communicate with anybody that was on the contigy. That's awful. Yeah. Oh, I feel so bad for the deaf sister. What an unfortunate situation. Because the other sister, she probably could go off and talk to other people, make friends. Oh, that sucks.

But what if the deaf sister, what if she was the problem? You know, what if she was the one who caused the argument? How will we know? We don't know. How would we know? Yeah. Finally, Fiona's here. Hi, Fiona. Hi, Fi. Hi. Tell us, did you lose friends

on a trip away? Yeah, yeah. So it was a few years ago now but we were, I went to the Czech Republic with a friend. Okay. And she was more into doing the trip on the seat of her pants, you know, decisions about what we were going to do at the last minute. Right. And I'm a planner, so I went ahead and booked buses and things like that and, you know, had an itinerary all laid out.

Within two days, she wasn't speaking to me. Because you were so regimented that she wasn't into it. Well, I wasn't totally regimented. You know, I was still very flexible, but there were certain routes. You know how when you do your research and you find certain routes that they say you need to book in advance. So I was just like, yeah, let's go see. She should have been grateful to have you on the trip.

I was going to say, Fiona, because I am just like, yeah, let's go see Jonathan. She should have been grateful to have you on the trip. I was going to say, Fiona, because I am that person. I'm the person that doesn't plan, doesn't book. I'm very unorganised. But that's why I am good friends or will go on a trip with someone that is. That's the yin and yang. You know, that's the perfect, you would think, perfect combination. In fact, I would pay a premium to have you on the trip. I'd be like, you book my buses, here's my credit card information,

take 10% for yourself, you just make sure we're going where we're going, Fiona. Every trip needs a Fiona, I feel. Yeah, well, it ended up being an awesome trip in the end. So, yeah, we saw lots in the seven days that we were there, but it was, yeah, for the last few days, it wasn't very comfortable. So are you still friends now, Faye? We are, yes. In fact, she now raves to everyone about what a wonderful trip it was.

And yeah, no, we're still very good friends. You just had some teething issues at the beginning of the trip. Exactly, yeah, yeah. So there you go, you can get past it. Yes, we got past it in the end, but I mean, it was a few months after the trip before we spoke again, so. Cutting each other out of your photos. Just funny.

He didn't quite get to that level. He's like, it was a great trip. Someone's like, who'd you go with? Nah, just myself. Don't ask. Yeah, don't ask. Bree and Clint. Stick them up.

It's time to play Google Down. Do you feel lucky? Well, do you? It's time for's time to play Google Down. Do you feel lucky? Well, do you? It's time for Bree and Clint's Google Down Punk. Someone is going to take home 50 KFC chicken dollars if you have texted through on

9696 the name of the person that takes out the game this afternoon. It's either Clint, Producer Claude or Producer Ella. Like you said, Clint, Producer Ella is the reigning champ this week. How does it feel, Ella, to be in the box seat? Really great, but also I'm a bit nervous this time. Yeah, there's a target on you.

There is? There is. Don't worry about it. Just be loose. Okay, breathe. Breathe and you'll be fine. Just be loosey-goosey. Here's the rules.

I put these exact questions into Google. I'm looking for the most common answer, the first answer that comes up for that question. If you yell out that answer first, you get a point. First to three points wins the game. Got it. Here we go, guys. Question number one.

What is the biggest hailstone ever recorded in centimetres? 20. Oh, quick. That was so fast. That was quick from Claude. The largest diameter hailstone measuring 20 centimetres. Larger, get this, than a bowling ball. No. It weighed in at

0.88 kilos and it fell in South Dakota. Imagine that thing falling on you. It'd kill you. Yeah. You'd be dead. What about your car? Would it go through your car? It'd go straight through your car. Damn. 100%. Go through your windscreen, that's for sure.

It would dent your roof. I don't know about going through, but it would go Damn. 100%. Oh, maybe go through your windscreen, that's for sure. Dent your roof. It would dent your roof. I don't know about going through, but it would go straight through your windscreen. Let's try it. Let's try it. A bowling ball? There's a 20 centimetre ball of water and... Is that like an ice cream container?

We're not Mythbusters. Let's try it. This is the Brain Clip Show. One point to Claude. Very quick. Off the mark. Question number two. Who invented the submarine?

Who invented it? John Philip Holland. I'm going to give it to you, Ella. It was Cornelius Drebbel. I could just hear it amongst your yelling. Claudia, did you say someone else? John Philip Holland. Who did you get?

Cornelius Drebbel. I feel like Ella answered that in that frequency that dogs can hear really well. Yeah. Just yell. That's why I could pick it up, Ella. Thanks. Dirty dog. All right, one to Ella, one to Claude.

Question number three. How many kilometres long is the Great Wall of China? 21,196. I'm going to give it to Clint. Started first and took his time and got the right number. 21,196 kilometres. He said 21,6. Nah, he said it right.

I heard him. Replay. Not this again. We are all tied up with one apiece. It's a good game this afternoon. Question number four. What is Jojo Siwa's net worth? It is 20 million.

That is correct. How did you guys spell Siwa? Correctly. Yes. Oh, no, wait. I did it wrong. Ella, you are off to a flyer. Two for Ella, one to Claude, one to Clint.

You need one more and you win this thing. Could it be two in a row? Question number five. How many number one global hits has Taylor Swift had? 40. Damn it. Clint's out. 212.

You're out. I'm going to take my time. How many number one global hits has Taylor Swift had? This is hard. It doesn't come up. Doesn't come up? Oh, I don't know. Yeah, it's not really coming up.

42? I'm going to buzz everyone out. Yeah, I don't know. There's so many like... The answer that came up for me was nine. That's a lot. That is the answer. Global hits. Okay.

That is the answer. Number one global hits. The answer was nine. Okay. So number... Okay. Alright. Seems low. But it doesn't matter. Let's move on. Alright. Here we go. Question number six. How old is NASA? 65 years.

That is right, Claudia. Just started before Clint. Do you know what? I just got the year. Oh, there it is. Never mind. That means Clint is out. Here we go.

This is for the win. Question number seven. When did Twitter first launch? Oh, no. 2006. It's a dead heat. That is a dead heat. I can't separate it.

Ella was louder. Ella was louder. Because you won last week, I'm going to go with the reigning champ. And it carries over with Ella. I do think you actually started a slight traction. She's gone two in a row, which means, Tim, you pick up the KFC chicken dollars this afternoon. Nice work, Tim.

50 KFC chicken dollars coming your way, my friend. Thank you. You wouldn't believe this. It's just started hailing in Auckland. Oh, yeah. Whoa. That's what made me go the hail question. Let's go collect some and throw them at your car.

Ella, you wouldn't believe it. She's won two in a row. I'm literally going to pass out. Oh, my gosh. Bree and Clint. Bree and Clint. I know you've got tickets to the Taylor Swift tour. Would you go to the Beyonce tour?

Absolutely. The Renaissance tour? Yeah. Looks incredible. Totally. There are cheap... Cheap? Discounted. Cheap.

There's discounted tickets to the Renaissance Tour Up for Grabs in certain locations around the world, but there's a catch. Yeah, well, why are they discounted? Oh, obscured view? Kind of. Kind of. I bought those tickets to the World Cup and the seats were great. Yeah.

Yeah. I've seen some of them. Yeah, they're great. You sit behind where the team sit. Yeah. So, I've seen some of them. Yeah, they're great. You sit behind where the team's set. Yeah. So, I mean, you can't see a little bit, but... You're obscured by the players. Yeah.

It's a great spot to be obscured by. Yes, your view at the Beyonce Renaissance Tour with these tickets will be obscured. How obscured? The tickets are called listening-only tickets. What? Yeah. The tickets have no view of the stage.

In fact, the tickets, the Listening Only Tickets that you can buy to the Beyonce World Tour are behind the stage. Behind the stage? Yeah, because the way it gets set up in a stadium, there's a bit of dead area. Oh, of course, there's seats out the back. Yeah, but there's a wall behind the stage.

You can't see anything. You will see nothing. You have no view. Is there a screen at least? No, there's seats out the back. Yeah, but there's a wall behind the stage. You can't see anything. You will see nothing. You have no view. Is there a screen at least? No, there's no screen. They are listening only tickets. Would you pay for that? Look, I can't say that I would.

Oh, well, it depends how much. It depends how skintyed I am. How much would you pay for listening only tickets? You're technically in the stadium with everyone else. You can buy the merch. This would fly at a Taylor Swift concert because they all stand outside the stadium. You might as well.

They can do that for free. How much are you paying for Beyonce listening only tickets? 20 bucks. 20 bucks. Claude, how much is a ticket to the Beyonce tour normally for a listening and looking ticket? The average is about $700. Oh!

Are you? It goes higher and lower depending on where you are. Wait, you said the average? Yeah. The research I've done, yeah. So I'm in between 300 and a grand. So these tickets are a pretty good deal then if you would like to attend the Beyonce show

as a listening only fan, $250. $250. $250. Just a cool $250 to go and not see Beyonce. That is outrageous. Like, just to put it out there,

people who are vision impaired or blind people, good option for them. Yeah, yeah, definitely. or blind people, good option for them. Yeah, yeah, definitely. Like blind people, they don't want to spend $700. And they can't see it anyway. And they can't see it anyway. But then you spend, you know, the cheaper ticket.

But $250 to sit behind the stage. That's so ridiculous. I don't want to come for Beyonce or her fans. Don't come for the beehive. But that's wrong. That is so wrong. What that is is it's milking every single last dollar out of these gigs that you can possibly get.

And by the way, Forbes estimates that the Renaissance World Tour will take in $3.5 billion from tickets and merchandise sales. $3.5 billion. Are you still charging $250 for a ticket that can't see the stage? Would Beyonce have any say in that? No. Oh, she would have the power to stop it if it got to her, but I would argue that she probably doesn't know.

You reckon? Yeah. She doesn't see them. Or is she like, do you reckon she walks into the stadium, she's like, why are those seats empty? They're like, oh, because Miss Knowles, they actually can't see the stage. is she like, do you reckon she walks into the stadium, she's like, why are those seats empty? They're like, oh, because Miss Knowles, they actually can't see the stage. She's like, $2.50.

Sell them up. I'm Beyonce, bitch. I'm Beyonce. I don't picture her doing that. That is so ridiculous. Do you think anyone has purchased those? Yeah, I reckon they would have. And then hopefully maybe you back yourself

to sneak around into a better spot. Once you're in, you're in. And then you can chance your arm. There'd be so much security in there. What a joke. $250 to not see Beyonce. I can put it on Spotify. Time for a birthday banger.

Here we go. Birthday banger. Bree and Clint. All I want for my birthday is a birthday banger. Here we go. Birthday banger to get you home or maybe to get you to work. Depending on your job, we'll take your birthday, figure out what is the number one song on your 16th and then we're going to pick our favourite one to play out in full. We almost played George Michael Careless Whisper yesterday. Banger. Claudia vetoed it. I mean, I can see. Claudia vetoed it. I mean,

I can see where Claudia's coming from. We are a top 40 station. Yeah, I know, but. But it's a great song. I just thought, jeez. What did you go with, Claudia?

You know, I don't remember. Where is the love from the Black Eyed Peas? Oh yeah, it's a great song. And I was like, where is the love

for George Michael, Claudia? Would have been memorable. Was that not what it was? No, it was Rihanna SOS. Oh, even worse. No, that's a great song. No, that's a great song.

Let's go to Emily for the birthday banger first today. Hi, Em. Hi, Em. Emily. Hi. There she is. How's your Wednesday going, Emily? Not too bad.

Oh, good to hear. Well, give us your birthday and we'll tell you your birthday, Banger. It's the 2nd of November, 97. Right, that means you were 16 in 2013. Let me take you back to your 16th with this one. The story of my life, Story of My Life. What do you reckon, Emily? I actually had a feeling it was going to be One Direction. Did you?

Yes. Well, you picked right. Yeah. Okay, that's a great one. Wait there, we're going to do a birthday banger for Robin. Hi, Robin. Hello. Robin, I heard it's your birthday today.

It is. Oh, happy birthday, Robin. Thanks for calling us on your birthday. Yeah. It's a cool day to have a birthday. I reckon. Great day. Have you had a good one so far?

Got any prezzies? I have. I've been absolutely spoiled and surrounded with love and good wishes. Oh, Robin! Well, let's make it the best day ever by finding out where your birthday banger is. Give us your date of birth. Okay, 2nd

of August, 1968. Alright, birthday girl. You were 16 in 1984. And Robin, here's your birthday banger. Oh, Robin! It's an absolute tune. I'll call it or veto it.

Stop that. Don't tarnish me. It's got George Michael on it. I love George Michael. This is like pristine George Michael. Do you love it, Robin? I love it. Yeah. Oh, I think it suits you down to a T. And we love it, Robin? I love it. Yeah.

Oh, I think it suits you down to a T. And we love you too. So wait there. We're going to do one more for Georgia. Hi, Georgia. Hi, Georgia. Hi. How's your Wednesday going, George?

Going good. Oh, good to hear. Well, let's do your birthday. Banger, what's your birthday? 17th of November, 1996. All right, Georgia. You were 16 in 2012 my friend And let me take you back to your 16th birthday

Because this was number one Swedish House Mafia Don't you worry child What do you think George? Banger It's got a great drop in this song doesn't it? Yeah oh my god Mafia, Don't You Worry Child. What do you think, George? Banger. Banger. It's got a great drop in this song, doesn't it? Yeah.

Oh, my God. We've got three such different songs today. All completely different. One Direction, great. Wham, great. Swedish House Mafia, great. I like them all. You're voting first, by the way. Okay, I'll go first.

You go first. I think it's tipped me over the edge because it's her birthday and she's the birthday girl. I've got to go with my girl, Robyn, and wham. Oh, I really like that Swedish House Mafia song. And I know if I give it to Claude, she'll obviously veto it. Well, she's not going to pick George Michael. And then we will deny Robyn. I mean, Robyn, can you imagine it would just tip her over the edge

for her birthday, wouldn't it, Robyn? It certainly would. Robyn, would it make it the best birthday ever? Oh, definitely. We can't deny her of that. Then to hell with Claudia. We're giving it to you, Robin. You've won birthday banger, baby.

Woo-hoo. You have a great birthday, Robin. Bree and Clint, here it is. Here's Wham! You're on ZM. You put the boom boom into my heart. You set my soul sky high when your love in thoughts. Bree and Clint.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. ZM, Bree and Clint, the winner of Birthday Banger for Robin, whose birthday is today from 1984. Whoa, that's wham. Wait me up before you go. Go this text message. Best song you guys have ever played. Absolutely slay. We agree.

The only person unhappy with that song being played is producer Claudia. She can't stand the guy for some reason. Why are you doing this to me? Why do you have such a vendetta against George Michael? What did he do to you? He's dead, Claudia. I'm watching the web documentary like... Is he?

Yeah, sorry about that. Can I go home? The Wham documentary, now that you mention it on Netflix, so good. So good. Yeah, go watch it if you're a Wham fan, even if you're not. So good. Anyway. Such a good song.

Hey, this next story might put the fear into some people. Okay. If you, Clint Roberts, won Lotto tomorrow, would you tell your wife or would you skip town? I think Lotto's like $27 million tomorrow. Depends how much it is, hey? That'll impact your decision. Yeah, totally.

Is there enough to share with her? She has very expensive taste. Yeah. A woman who won $1.3 million in the lottery was forced to give the entire jackpot to her husband after she hit it in their divorce. Ooh. So let's get into the details of this. Her name was Denise Rossi, or her name is, I'm assuming she's still alive, and she filed

for divorce from her husband, Thomas Rossi, in 1996. Okay. After 25 years of marriage. Right. And it was 11 days before she filed for divorce uh that she found out she had one big in the lotto right so she had a syndicate at work who um i believe picked up around nearly five million dollars yeah uh and they split it depending on how many people were in the syndicate but she picked up 1.3 million uh anyway uh she didn't tell her husband about it and kept it a secret

and then filed for divorce just sprung a divorce on him instead exactly filed for divorce uh and it wasn't until two years after the divorce was done that he received a letter from a company that pays lump sums for lottery winnings. Yeah. And he was very confused. Oh, went to the wrong address. Went to the wrong address. Because obviously she's still, like she would have lived there like at some point and she's left. And the lottery company has sent it to the wrong address.

He has eventually figured it out and gave it to his lawyer and they kind of were confused and then a few days later he took his ex-wife Denise back to court where a judge ruled that she had violated laws disclosing of assets and funds and acted in fraud or malice, and she had to pay back the whole lot. That seems wild that she has to give him the whole lot. Yeah, it does.

I mean, she has committed fraud. Yeah. But the hard bit is she wouldn't still have the whole lot. No, she would have spent a bunch of it. She would have spent a whole lot of it. Yeah. God, This is the risk, eh, of being married to somebody that you

don't love anymore. I would be so angry. The risk is you win lotto. Oh, God. And then you have to share it with them. I'd be so angry at that company that sent that letter. Yes. Be furious. Yes. Yeah. God, that's unfortunate.

So unfortunate. I wonder if the marriage was on the skids beforehand or if the $1.3 million was enough to go, I can do better. You know, it could. In the 90s. It could have been the fact that they were married for 25 years and she felt trapped. Yeah.

And then she gets handed this big amount of money and she goes, I'm not trapped. Fresh. And then she gets handed this big amount of money and she goes, I'm not trapped. Fresh start, fresh start, fresh start. I can get the hell out of here, you know, and be fine financially. I'm on my way. Do you ever hide any money from your partner? Do you have any secret accounts that they don't know about? I don't have enough money to hide.

Really? No, my partner's seen my accounts. Yeah. We're pretty open about all that stuff. We've got joint accounts, all that kind of stuff. Same. I don't have any money that my wife doesn't know about. She definitely hides money from you.

I can't speak on her behalf. She's not here. She wouldn't want me to speak on her behalf. So I thought we should ask the question this afternoon, though. Was your partner hiding money from you? Did you find out somehow, some way, that there was money that you didn't know about that was either being squirreled away or used for something on the side? Will we accept assets? Yes. Like hiding maybe an investment property? Yes. Or maybe a vehicle, a car or

a motorcycle or horse? A boat? Yeah. Ass assets or money. Some gold bullion. Oh, sound like my brother. Some Kruger ants. My brother keeps trying to make me buy gold bullion. He's like, oh, gold. You better buy some gold bullion. Who is your brother? The Wolf of Wall Street?

I'm telling you. Honestly. He's so into it. Okay. 0800 dial ZM or you can text it to 9696. Did you find out your partner was hiding money? You can remain anonymous this afternoon. Did your partner hide a lotto win from you?

Bree and Clint. Let's talk to Alana who's caught up on 0800 dial ZM. Hi, Alana. Hi, Alana. Hi, guys. It was your granddad that was actually hiding something from your grandmother, right? Yeah. So good old granddad Joe, his father found some gold down in Central Otago when they arrived from Scotland and gave it to my granddad. Okay.

And it was kept in a box buried in the veggie garden. And my grandmother had no idea that it existed. Wait. And no one knew it existed until a few years after she died, and he got it out of the attic and said, you know, split it between the lot of you. No. He hid a gold nugget from your grandma for her entire life? Yeah.

How much are we talking, Alana, was the nugget worth? At the time they cashed it in, it was worth a bit over $100,000. That's a pretty decent nugget. Yeah. And why did he not want your grandmother to know about it? Did we ever get to the bottom of that? Well, there was originally a story that it was supposed to go to someone in the family

if they joined the church, like as a priest or a nun. Yeah. And nobody did. Right. It was supposed to go to them they joined the church, like as a priest or a nun. Yeah. And nobody did. Right. It was supposed to go to them to go to church, but because nobody in the family did, it just got hidden away because otherwise she probably would have wanted to spend it on holidays and clothes.

Life. Spend it on life. You know Grandma and that online shopping addiction. Gin addiction, probably. Gin addiction. Gin addiction, probably. Gin addiction. Gin addiction. I can't show your grandmother. She'll want a new set of boobs.

Your grandma sounds awesome. She was. I wonder what she would have done with a $100,000 gold nugget. But we'll never know. She would have been crazy. Was anyone mad at Grandad? Did anyone give him a piece of their mind? Or were you like, oh, well, your life, your choice?

Well, no, because we all got to share a split of the $100,000 nuggets. So it helped pay off my car. Yeah, you guys would be laughing. And I can't believe that he hid it in the veggie garden. Yeah, and he remembered to dig it up when they moved house and relocated it. So at least it didn't get lost in the garden. Wait, so he even... It got from house to house.

He even was hiding the fact and digging it up and then putting it back in the ground. Three house moves. Wow. How much was your cut, Alana? We got it was about sort of 10,000. Oh. So yeah. How good.

There you go. How good. We just asked you the very invasive question, do you wear undies to the gym? Someone texted through and said, as a dude, I forgot to wear underwear to the gym one time. I was on the bench and let's just say I won't be forgetting again, benching without underwear is a no-go for men.

I would argue squatting without underwear is a no-go for men. I would argue squatting without underwear is a no-go for men. I would argue same for women. Okay. Exact same. Right. Well, why is the conversation of not wearing undies to the gym even a thing then? Oh, well, I think it depends. Like as

a lot of women wear tights to the gym so you're not going to have the same issues as men who are wearing shorts to the gym Yeah, definitely Definitely But like I said off air As a woman Wearing no underwear with tights

Dangerous Isn't it? Very dangerous That seam That seam is a dangerous line you're walking. I don't know. I don't know a lot about how yoga pants work. The mysteries

of yoga pants. You don't want to mess with the seam. Isn't it quite normal to not wear undies with them so that you don't have VPL? What's VPL? Visible panty line. I'd much rather have VPL than CT.'s so tight. What's VPL? Visible panty line. I'd much rather have VPL than CT. CT.

Camel toe. I thought you were going to say chafed. VCT. Visible camel toe. VCT. Yeah, right. Why did we do this, by the way? Why did we?

Because there was a, it's a conversation that's come up on a podcast Over in Australia Where a couple of Health influencers Is that what you call them? Fitness influencers Were talking about how apparently It's on the rise

It's trending for women Especially to wear no underwear To the gym. Right. Okay. And then they were having this conversation and then an influencer by the name of Ellie Gonsalves. Oh, yeah.

Gonsalves. I don't know who that is, but apparently she's a big deal in the fitness community, came out and said, yep, I don't wear any underwear. Right. And you know why she said she doesn't wear any underwear? Why? Because she said she learnt it off Khloe Kardashian. Oh, stop getting your advice from the Kardashians, honestly.

Yeah. I just feel that if you are going indie free at the gym, you want to have a lot of faith in the structural integrity of those yoga pants. Because especially if you're packing a bit of junk in the trunk and you squat down, those things are under a huge amount of tension. And then you imagine split at the worst possible moment, just as everything is at its maximum tension and then bang. You know, yeah, that's not their case.

You come bursting out of there like a, you know when you put a Sav-way in a pot of water and you boil it for too long, bang, and it just turns inside out. That's you at the gym. All your stuff just comes. Terrible situation. You know how I describe not wearing underwear? And you tell me if I'm wrong. Yeah.

Not wearing underwear, regardless if it's at the gym or wherever it is, not wearing underwear, the same feeling as not wearing a seatbelt. To me, yes. Is that the same feeling? Because that's exactly how it feels to me. To me, yes. It's not wearing a seatbelt.

But not to everybody. It's also similar feeling, not having a pillowcase on your pillow. Or not having a- Feels wrong. Not having a not having a feels wrong not having a sheet on the bed not having a sheet on the bed feels weird we have polled the people this afternoon via instagram the question was do you wear undies to the gym we cross live to the social media desk for the results of that poll producer Well, 92% they wear undies and 8% say they don't.

8%. Well, there you go. No judgement. I mean, honestly, you're asking for thrush, aren't you? Are you? Maybe. I feel like if you're sweating, oh, who knows. I have no idea how women work. I have absolutely no...

I'm not worried about... Anyway. Don't worry your pretty little mind. I read this outrageous story about a TikToker talking about how her boyfriend refused to pay an upgrade fee on a plane so he could sit next to it. Okay. Refused to it. Okay. Refused to pay the fee.

Was she in business class and he was in regular? I don't believe so. I don't know the exact details. All I know is they weren't sitting next to each other on the plane. Yeah. They weren't sitting next to each other and the airline said, look, if you do want to sit next to each other, it's going to cost you this much.

What do you think the fee would have had to have been where he's like, too much. I'll sit on my own. $100. Is that how much it would take for you? I wouldn't pay $100 to sit next to, $100 extra. Yeah. No, I'd have some alone time for $100. Yeah. How long is the flight?

Where are we flying from? It doesn't say. Let's say it's quite a long flight. It actually doesn't matter. I don't care. If it's $100 to sit next to each other, I'll go see you there. See you in the new place.

Really? Would you not? Nah. Would you spend $100 to sit next to the person that you see all day, every day anyway? Yes. And I'll tell you why. Because I am a nervous flyer.

Right? And I like to have the support next to me. But I've got another reason. I like to have, you know, my partner next to me for support. But also, if for some reason that plane is going down, I don't want to be sitting next to, you know, John Doe, Tom, Dick and Harry. I want to be sitting next to my partner that I love.

Yeah. And $100, I'm fine with that. That seems dramatic to me. I'll be asleep the whole time anyway. So no, I'll take my own seat. So $100 is my cutoff. What does this person refuse to pay? This guy said that it was too much to change his seat

to sit next to his girlfriend for $16. That's a bit rough, eh? The man wanted some alone time. I think he just wanted some time. The man wanted some alone time. On his own just wanted some time. The man wanted some alone time. On his own. He wanted to do his plane farts somewhere where he could get away with them. He just needed a little break.

He wanted to watch the movie he wanted to watch for once in his own seat on the plane. $16, though, it does make you feel a little bit worthless. Doesn't it? Doesn't it? As the girlfriend, you're like, oh, you wouldn't pay $16? $16! I'd pay that Play ZM's Brand Clint on Insta, Facebook, TikTok
