Her room and like a car and she was like collecting all of these. There's heaps of one-use ones. I saw those over the holiday break. That's what people do now too.

You know I had a friend who told me. No, no, no. I actually did radio with him. He told me the first date he ever went on or ever invited his now wife over to his with him. He told me the first date he ever went on or ever invited his now wife over to his house for, he bought Italian from this real fancy place and then he threw it into like pots and pans and stuff,

so like dirty pots and pans and then replated it on a plate to make her believe he'd cooked it and she bought it. Good work going to the extra effort of dirtying the pots and pans. Just to make it more believable. You fucked yourself, though, because then they go, make it again. Just buy it from the same place. And then you get married and you're still...

We've got a really interesting story about Travis Barker. You might remember him from Blink-182. Where are you? Or Kourtney Kardashian's list of people she's dated. They're engaged. Are they? Yeah, they're engaged to be married, yeah. Well, until they're married, they're still dating.

Until they're married, he's just another guy. Where are you? He's very famous in his own right, Travis Barker. He is very famous in his own right. And he's good friends with Machine Gun Kelly. Oh, yeah. You might know him from dating Megan Fox. Yeah.

Slash. What else? Oh, he was in that movie where he played Tommy Lee in Motley Crue. Yeah. He had that beef with Eminem. Was that him? Yeah. Right.

Yeah, that guy. That guy. So they've been working on an album together, right? Yeah. Right. Yeah, that guy. That guy. So they've been working on an album together, right? Haven't they? They've been working on an album. Travis is producing Machine Gun Kelly's next album. They're very excited. They're so excited that they went and got tattoos of the name of this album six months ago.

Did they? Right? Super pumped about it. That's a nice little bromance thing to go and do. Or was it something Bones and Horns or something? I don't know. It was something like that. They got the name of the album.

Anyway, they've posted a video six months later because something bad has happened to their matching tattoos. Take a listen. Okay, we're friends no matter what, right? Of course. Okay. Remember when we got the album name, the new album name tattooed on our arms?

Mm-hmm. I'm changing the album name. Okay, what's the new album name? So... That is a stink thing to do to somebody. Gene Gun Kelly obviously said to Travis Barker, this is the name of it. I'm set on it.

Yeah. Let's get it tattooed on our bodies. Let's put it on our bodies. Yeah. So they did and then six months later he goes,

nah, changed my mind. At least Travis Barker is completely covered in tattoos. So for him, it's just another tattoo. Machine Gun Kelly's

pretty covered. Yeah, but no sympathy for him. He did this. Yeah, true. Poor Travis Barker. He's in control. Yeah. Yeah, but no sympathy for him. He did this. Yeah, true. Like, he's in control. Yeah. Yeah, poor Travis Barker.

If that was me, would you just suck it up and be like, oh, even though I don't like the name of that album anymore, I'm still going to have to call it that? I think you'd have to really hate the name of the album if you and your new best friend got it tattooed on your bodies. Like, there's a whole other contract that's been written there. Yeah. You know? A tattoo on your body contract. Like there's a whole other contract that's been written there. Yeah. You know? A tattoo on your body contract.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I know. It made me think about people who, because they're obviously good mates, you know, to be getting matching tattoos. Yeah. Like they're colleagues but, you know, you're not getting a matching tattoo with your colleague unless you're a good mate.

No, no, no, no, yeah. And I thought about all those times where I reckon it's happened because we know that it's cursed if you get a matching tattoo with your partner. Oh, yeah. But is it cursed if you get a matching tattoo with a friend? Oh, does it doom your friendship? You know?

Right. And it doesn't have to be the exact tattoo, but if you got tattoos together. Have you ever had a tattoo with a friend before? Like a matching tattoo? Not a session where you both went in and got tattoos. You haven't got two sides of the best friends forever heart? Nah, nah, not for me.

No, I've never done that. Yeah, no, me neither, but I've got no tattoos. I'd be more likely to do that than get a tattoo with a partner. Yeah. Yeah, I guess, yeah. But. Yeah, I guess. Yeah. You know. Yeah.

I think you steer clear of. At least, yeah. At least if you break up as friends, you don't have to justify the tattoo to your new best friend. Yeah. You don't have to go, oh my God, is that from a different friend? Is that the name of your ex-best friend?

You are getting that removed. Whereas in a relationship, it's much more awkward. Way more awkward. If you have your ex-girlfriend's name tattooed on your chest and your wife has to see it whenever you take the shirt off. Yeah, that's not a good time. Let's take calls. 0800 dial ZM. Are you or do you know someone who got a tattoo with a friend and then things went bad?

And you're not friends. Maybe you're not friends with that person anymore. Yeah, friendship tattoos that didn't work out. Yeah. Yeah. You can call us 0800 DIAL ZM or you can text us right now on 9696. Of course, you get matching tattoos with a friend and then the friendship was no more.

Bree and Clint. Look, celebrities do dumb things as well, just like all of us. And Travis Barker and Machine Gun Kelly got matching tattoos because they're both working on Machine Gun Kelly's new album. So six months ago, Machine Gun Kelly says to Travis Barker, this is what I'm calling the album. So they both got it tattooed. And he said, good idea, brah, let's get it tattooed on our bodies.

I love it. Six months later, he's changed the name of the album. That's funny, but Dak bodies. I love it. Six months later, he's changed the name of the album. It's funny, but duck move. I know. I'd be so annoyed. Anyway, they're not friends anymore because of it. No, I'm just kidding. I don't know.

I thought we'd ask the question, 0800DIALZM, did you get a tattoo with a friend? And is it the same as when you are in a relationship? And is it a curse? Are you not friends anymore? Yeah, and did you have the tattoo removed after you broke up as friends? Yeah.

Our first caller wants to remain anonymous. Hello, anonymous. Hi, anonymous. Hello. Hello, this happened to you. Yes, it did. Tell us, what happened? So how long had you been friends

with the person you got a tattoo with? We'd been best mates for a couple of years and we were really wanting to take the relationship next and so we got a matching tattoo, beautiful flower design. However, she chose the tattooist. It wasn't a very good tattooist and I still have the tattoo.

Four months later, she turned on me, said some really horrible things behind my back, become a very nasty person, and we no longer talk. Oh, and you have to look at the bad tattoo you got now. Yeah. Yeah. That sucks. That sucks. Yeah.

It's not even a good tattoo. Oh, well. No. Good reminder. You live and you learn. Cover up, man. Yeah. That tattoo is a reminder to you every day to never get a tattoo with a friend.

Exactly, exactly. Don't do it. Don't do it. Okay, thank you, Anonymous. Emma's here. Hi, Emma. Hi, Em. Hi, how's it going? Good, thanks. Do you think it's a curse to get tattoos with friends?

It is definitely a curse. I have two matching tattoos with friends, and within months I've stopped being friends with both of them. So definitely a curse. I have two matching tattoos with friends and within months I've stopped being friends with both of them. So definitely a curse. Did you guys, like, was it a trio thing? No, two separate friendship tattoos. Years apart, but I stopped being friends with both of them. Two separate friendships. You didn't learn from the first one?

Not learned. I got even bigger the second time. Okay, what are the tattoos? Weirdly, they're both like little hearts. One's like a little heart on my wrist and the other one's kind of big, floral. Oh my God, you literally did the exact same thing. I did, yeah. Wow.

Emma's like, I haven't been punished enough. I'm going to go back for some more. So what, can I ask, what, was it really bad, like the things that happened to obviously not be friends with them anymore? No, just random things. We sort of fell out of touch. But, yeah, within a couple of months of both of them, it's pretty weird. That's weird.

Yeah, that is creepy. Okay, thank you, Emma. Someone on the text machine, such a good story, said, my ex-best friend and I got matching tattoos. Five months later, we had fallen out really badly and the tattoo artist suggested I get a snake to cover it up. Oh, yeah. Needless to say, I now have a snake on my arm, which I love,

but it gets worse. Six years later and we've become friends again. Nah, that's okay. You know, that's just part of your tapestry of your friendship. What about when the friend's like, why did you get a snake to cover our friendship tattoo? Yeah. And then she's like, well, you know you're a bit of a snake. You're a bit of a snake. One more call from Alex. Hi, Alex. Hi, Alex. Hi, how's it going? Good, thanks. Tell us, did you get a matching tattoo with a friend? I did. She was my best friend from uni

and we'd been friends for a few years and then after uni we decided to move in together and have a little gals flat. Okay, cute. So you'd been friends for quite a while then? Yeah, like a good four or five years. Yeah. And we got a matching tattoo together that both of them said ride or die. And not long after that the friendship did in fact die. Oh my god, I thought you were going to say not long after that she died. No. I thought that was going to be the end of the story.

That would have been a very dark ending. So she didn't die, but the friendship died. What happened? So she kind of wanted to figure herself out. So she decided to screw me out of our tenancy agreement and she just left and I had to pay out $2,000 to our landlord. And honestly, I just want the money back. That is the opposite of ride or die.

Yeah, you should get it changed to ride or slide. Oh, that sucks. Sorry about that, Alex. Oh, that really annoys me. What a snake. Yeah, that deserves a snake tattoo. Get it covered up with a snake tattoo. Right now, though, it's time for the latest.

From iHeartRadio, this is the latest live from LA with Dean McCarthy. Dean, tell us about the drama that is going down between Nelly and Madonna. I know, you couldn't have given me a million bucks to guess that today everyone would be talking about Nelly and Madonna in the same sentence. Let me tell you what happened, right? So Madonna, she's Madonna. She is Madonna. She wears risque things.

She pushes the envelope, right? She is fashion forward. She posted all these photos on her Instagram that were, you know, she was wearing like fishnet tights, lace underwear, a bustier boots. It's Madonna. It's very expected. I wasn't at all surprised. Nelly, as in Nelly the rapper who we love, right, has gone into her comments like a thug, like a jerk,

and he's written, some things should be left covered up. Oh, no. Like he told her. Oh, bad room read, Nelly. Bad room read. No. So first of all. I reckon he. No. So, first of all. I reckon he was drunk.

Yeah, I reckon. I reckon. First of all, you don't say that to any woman, let alone Madonna. Right. Second of all, if you do it in Madonna's comment section, I'm pretty sure Madonna has a pretty loyal fan base who are going to come for you begging for blood, right? Exactly.

And I just think, would he have commented that on a younger woman's post? Or a man's post. Or a man's post. He wouldn't have. So leave your comments to yourselves. Although, if Ice Cube had posted a picture of his butt in a pair of fishnet stockings, he might have posted it on there. Yeah.

You know? Yeah. Maybe or not. It's more confronting, I think. If Eminem was wearing a boob tube and a mini skirt and his gut was hanging out he might have

I can't even find that post anymore on Madonna's page is she taking it down yeah no it's still there you've got it's a

you've got to scroll it across it's in like a group of photos the other thing is this though right don't you think don't you think Madonna has earned

the right to wear whatever the hell she wants on Instagram? Do you know what I mean? Like, she's Madonna. Share Madonna. Wear what you want. Also, the other thing is it's her Instagram. There's an unfollow button for a reason.

I also just think every woman should be able to wear what they want, you know? Yeah. She wasn't nude. Stop commenting on females' bodies, full stop. Bad room read, Natalie. That's the latest out of Los Angeles with our Hollywood correspondent, Dean McCarthy. Brian Clint.

What is the New Zealand town or city that today has a stink warning in place? As in something stinks and it's pretty bad they've had to put out a warning for it. It is the city by the sea, the capital, Te Whanganui-a-Tara, Wellington. Oh, but you can't beat Welly on a good day though.

You can't beat Welly on a good day, but you can't stand Welly on a stink day. Is there stink days there? No, not regularly, but today is a stink day. Oh, did someone do a poo in that tunnel again? No, someone did a poo. It's part of it. Is one. Oh, did someone do a poo in that tunnel again? No, someone did a poo. It's part of it.

No way. Some residents in the Wellington region are being warned that they may notice an unpleasant smell today as urgent repair is needed for a sludge dryer at the Seaview Wastewater Treatment Plant. Oh, that does not sound healthy. And you're like, sludge? What's sludge? What do you think? Sludge is the term for solids produced from the wastewater treatment process. How bad is it?

Is it taking over the whole city? So they can't process it. There's a bit of the machine that's broken. Oh, is it backed up? It's literally backed up. Literally. Usually they use a dryer and they dry out the... Stuff.

Stuff. All the bits and pieces. Which helps to remove the odour, but the dryer is broken. So now the sludge, which is wet, needs to be removed from the Seaview wastewater treatment plant and trucked to a landfill at Silverstream in Wellington. Oh, that is off. Imagine being the man, or woman, hopefully man, just for women's sake,

tasked with driving a truck full of wet poo through the streets of Wellington to the landfill. Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-pool truck. You know, growing up. Because I lived so rurally. We had our own water and our own sewage system, right? Yeah. So we weren't connected to any township lines or any of that. And I remember this one day, I'm not joking, it was the first time I remember seeing my dad in a different light

and I've walked out the back and I was like, what is that smell? Yeah. And here's my dad in gumboots, shorts and a singlet with a shovel. And I mean, what a fantastic guy, shoveling all of his own family's waste down this hill, trying to unblock our sewage system. And I was like, Dad, what are you doing? All the stuff that gets flushed down there too.

He's like, why did I have so many daughters? And my dad, I remember him looking at me. I would have been about seven or eight. I was like, what are you doing? He goes, this shit is full. Right now, what did you make the news for? That if you could have chosen, probably wouldn't have been the thing you chose to make the news for, you know?

My wife today is on one of the biggest news sites in the world, in the world, in New Zealand. In the world. Unilad. Very big website. She's on stuff.co.nz, not my preferred news site. I prefer the Herald, you know? Yeah, same.

If the boss is listening. But I'll read you this headline. Beauty writer treated for painful blistering on feet after using chemical-based foot mask. Don't tell me pictures of her feet made the website. My wife, Lucy, my beautiful wife's feet today are all over the internet. And not just her feet. Her feet covered in big,

Big blisters. Pussy blisters and red foot marks. over the internet. And not just her feet. Her feet covered in big, pussy blisters and red foot marks. We talked about it last week. She did that you know those bags that you put on your feet and they're meant to make all the dead skin peel off. Well her skin definitely peeled off.

Too much. Too many layers. The fun thing about this is She said to me Oh my foot story's in the news today And I was like Oh I can't wait to read this Do you know how I found it?

No I just googled Lucy's slight feet And it was the first thing that came up You do it right now I want to go look at it Go Lucy's slight feet And the first link that comes up

Should be the story about her It was an OnlyFans page. No, it's the first thing that comes up. You know what? You make a good point though because anything's going to come up when you type that in. I guess you want it to be a news story. She made a good point because, you know, if you ever Google yourself in Google Images to see what photos come up,

she was like, well, from now on if I Google image search my name or people Google... Her feet come up. Are my feet going to come up? Yeah, probably. Her feet in that condition as well. So yeah, she's not usually in the news. She's usually writing some of it actually. Her feet have made the news. Yeah, but today

she's in the news for foot pics. There you go. I thought we could take some calls from people because you don't get to choose what you end up in the news for foot pics. There you go. I thought we could take some calls from people because you don't get to choose what you end up in the news for, you know? Not always. No. Not always. Were you in the news, either the newspaper or a news website

or on the big six o'clock news for something that you kind of wish you weren't? You know, like you go, man, does this really have to be my 15 minutes? Why am I making the news for this? Are you the girl who choked on a meatball at Subway? I wouldn't mind being that girl. Would you like, really? Yeah, I mean, you know, there's worse things. You know, it's relatable.

I was just at Subway. I was trying to, you know, scoff down a big meaty sub. Nick, minute, nearly died. Are you the person who caused a five-car pile-up on the motorway because you put diesel in the petrol car by mistake? No, you don't want to be that. Did you block up the southern motorway on a long weekend? I don't know.

We want to know this afternoon, what did you make the news for? What was the thing that got you in there? You can call us on 0800DIALZM. Or if you're a little bit embarrassed, you can text us on 9696 and you can remain anonymous. Yeah. I mean, you know, I mean, it was already out there on the news though. Totally. Mate, it's

out there already. People already know. And you're amongst friends. My wife's feet are out there. We won't judge you. We're sharing everything right now. My beautiful wife is today in the news for her foot pics That's right, she started the OnlyFans and it's going great guns Mate, if she started an OnlyFans I haven't seen any of the money

Well you wouldn't be here working, you'd be living the high life She used one of those foot mask things and it burnt her feet So she's been written up as a cautionary tale And it's not really the thing you expect to make the news for, your feet pics, do you? No. So we want to know, when did you become famous and end up in the news when you didn't really expect to?

There's some really good ones on here. Someone said, my boxer, which I'm assuming they're meaning a dog, my boxer made the news for an insurance claim we made after he ate five Whittaker's Easter Kiwis resulting in a costly vet visit. Stuff wrote an article about it the following Easter to warn other pet owners. It is a very dangerous time.

Totally. For dogs. Five? He ate five? It can kill them. He would have had to unwrap them. Yeah, I know. Dogs are amazing with their paws.

They can just unwrap the little bunnies. Or did he just eat the pinfoil as well? Probably just ate it too. Yeah, right. Someone else said, I love this one as well. Someone said, my wife made a heap of newspaper headlines and talked to a heap of radio stations for failing her driver's licence because her car was messy.

I think we talked about that woman. I swear there was a story like a couple of days ago. She was big news. Big news. Yeah. So the car was too messy, so she failed it as soon as the guy got into the car. Amy's caught up. Hi, Amy.

Hi, Amy. Hey, guys. How are you? Good, thanks. Was it you that made headlines? It was. It was for New Zealand's most famous day of the year, Crate Day. Oh, yeah. Oh, nice. Okay. Why did day of the year, Crate Day. Oh, yeah.

Oh, nice. Okay. Why did you make the news for Crate Day? So I was walking out of the shop with carrying my crate and then sort of like after the news came on, my mum calls me and goes, I just saw you walk out of the liquor store with a crate on Crate Day. Oh, no.

How did that go? Yeah, so that was pretty. You got knocked on by the news. So was your mum proud or was she annoyed? She was pretty proud. She went on to plaster it all over Facebook and tell all her friends about it. She was annoyed you didn't give her a warning

so she could put the VHS in and record it down for the whole family, right? She would have loved that. And how did you go? Did you complete? Did you finish your crate? I'm very big embarrassment to New Zealand that I didn't and all of her friends

and all of my friends on Facebook were asking me and I had to say no. Very embarrassing. That's okay. Drink responsibly. Drink responsibly. Exactly. It's a marathon, not a sprint. Thank you very much. Someone who wants to remain anonymous. Can we read that one out? Responsibly, exactly. It's a marathon, not a sprint. Thank you very much. Hearing is hearing. Thanks, Amy. Someone who wants to remain anonymous.

Can we read that one out? Give it a go. Someone said, hi, I made the 6pm news after being arrested for trying to steal an Elle Macpherson bend-on lingerie billboard. Anonymous. Someone said, my sister entered me in a plus size model search without telling me. I won and I found out when Seven Sharp called and asked me to do an interview about it. God, I'd be stoked with that.

No. Yeah. Your sister, what a B word. Why? She entered her into a plus size model search without her permission. She was obviously having a go. But what did she win? Oh, right.

I see. I wouldn't mind. Plus size model's beautiful. She probably won something good. Someone else said, my boyfriend's tradie dad was in the local newspaper for winning the Miss Perongia competition. Can I say, I have hosted the Miss Perongia competition before. Yes.

And it's a prestigious award. It really is. It is. It is. It's not something to be joked about. It's all men. That's the... Right.

It's all farmers. Gotcha. Gotcha. I see. I tell you what, that is no easy feat to take out that competition. So congratulations. One more text. Someone said I was on the news.

This is good. Because my car got stolen from VTNZ. You want to know if it passed its warrant or not, eh? Yeah. It's like, did it though? I need to let the person who stole the car know if it needs a new warrant. Well, no, if it didn't pass, you'd be like, just take it, man. Just take it.

Just take the piece of shit. Worthless. Story out today about a woman who is sick of dating apps. She's decided she's not using dating apps for a year, but then she still wants to meet people, she said. She's still keen to meet people, so that's why she is documenting the next year where she's going to try and go and do a bunch of things by herself to see if she can meet people that way.

We've got a little clip of her talking about it. This year I decided I'm going to go the full year without using any dating apps. However, I still want to meet people so tonight I'm going to go out by myself. Oh, that's brave. Going out by yourself. Getting dressed up.

Yeah. Hidden to clubs. I watched this TikTok and she went to like bars and things like that. Just alone. Yeah, like is it on a Saturday night? It looks like it. Friday or Saturday night, yeah. It didn't end well.

She did say that she thought she would just naturally make heaps of friends and start talking to people and it didn't go all that well. She got quite upset, eh? She got quite upset by it. But she said she's going to do it again. Yeah, she said, I'm not finished. She goes, that didn't work out exactly how I thought

it was going to. She was crying into her six pack of McNuggets. Yeah. Good on her. She's going to. She was crying into her six pack of McNuggets. Yeah. Good on her. She's going to give it another go. Hey, it's interesting because the whole conversation around meeting people, at the moment, dating apps have been the best way to meet people because we've been in lockdown.

Totally. You know what I mean? Or else you wouldn't have met anyone. No. You really wouldn't have. Dating apps have been like the life support of all new relationships. Kept dating alive. I thought we could play a bit of a game this afternoon

where producer Anastasia's in the studio. She's going to give us scenarios, and people can play along in the car or wherever you're listening from, stuff you normally probably wouldn't do alone, and you and I, we're going to see if you and I actually would do this alone. Okay, sure. All right. So producer Anastasia, you give us the things and then we'll have a countdown.

All right. Uh, the first one is going to a sports game alone. Ooh. Three, two, one. No. I've done it. Have you? Yeah.

No, but tell us the context though Was it because you were the only chief supporter of the game? Was that? That's shots fired It was close I was home in Rotorua And I really wanted to go to a Bay of Plenty Steamers game And I didn't have anyone to go with

So I just went Why didn't anyone else want to go? Because it's the Bay of Plenty Steamers Hey Up the Steamers They're my team I I can say that. Yeah, that's cool. So I have done it. Would you do it again?

I think a lot of people do. You see a lot of older people who go to the cricket and stuff by themselves and sit there all day. Now my favourite part about going to a sporting match is turning to the person next to me and going, oh, where was his eyes on that one?

Yeah, but you can do that with a stranger. Anyway, I think it's a tough one. Yeah. But I would like to think that I would do it again. I probably would. Yeah. Okay. Give us another one.

The next one is eat at a nice restaurant by yourself. Okay. Three, two, one. Yeah, I would. I've done this one as well. Yeah, I've done this quite a few times. It's awkward because no matter where you go, they assume there's someone else coming.

And so you have to like prompt them to bring you the menu, to get you a drink, because they assume that they don't want to serve you until the other person arrives. And you kind of have to go, hey, no one's coming. It's just me. Oh, they don't do that for me. They come over and they clear the other plate

and knife and fork and they go, do you want to order now? Just drink some food and get straight into it? And I'll go, yes, please. You should do it. That's happened to me. You're worth taking yourself on a date to a nice restaurant. I love going to brunch by myself, to be honest.

I love taking my laptop, doing some work. Oh, no, but that's different. That's different because you're not by yourself if you've got your laptop. It's weird. Yeah, but technically I am by myself. No Oh, no, but that's different. That's different because you're not by yourself if you've got your laptop. It's weird. Yeah, but technically I am by myself. No, I know, but it's different. I'm talking about going to a nice restaurant,

sitting there with no distraction. Oh, well, I've done that too. Yeah. But you know what I mean about the laptop being different? You know when you're in a different city for work or whatever and you go out to dinner? Yeah, it's nice. Yeah.

Okay, give us another one. The next one would be going on a hike by yourself. Three, it's nice. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, give us another one. The next one would be going on a hike by yourself. Three, two, one. No, dangerous. Yes. Dangerous, isn't it? I definitely would. And also a bit lonely.

You'd need someone to talk to, especially if it's a long one, if you're going on a tramp. Nah, I think it's fine. Why don't we ask our hike expert? He goes by himself all the time. Producer Ben, is it dangerous to go on a hike

by yourself? No, not at all. If anything, safer. Really? Nah, probably. It is a little bit dangerous. What if you get hurt? What if you get injured? You've got the beacon and things. Yeah, you've got a beacon if you need. Or just do hikes that are within your, you know, your experience. Were you impressed that I knew what the

beacon thing was called? Yeah. I'm learning from you. She was calling it the bat signal before. North Face, message me Okay, any more? We'll do a couple more quickly Go to a concert Three, two, one

Yes, I've done it I think it's the same as a sport game I've done it a few times Have you? Really, you know why? Why? Because when I was younger There was a few people that I was like

Oh, I'm really obsessed with these people. I don't want crappy seats all the way up the back. So what I'd do is I'd wait for people to buy tickets and stuff and then I'd buy those single floating tickets that were right up the front. Easier to get, yeah. And I'd go by myself. That's actually a life hack. It is.

And you know what? You don't really talk during a concert. No. And I was right up the front. It's perfect. Yeah. Okay, one more. Give us one more.

Temp and bowling. Three, two, one. No. Yeah, because then my team would come around faster. And you always win. No competition. And no one can make fun of me for using the gutter guards. Bree and Clint.

Have you ever rented clothes on one of those clothing rental places, like a designer wardrobe or something like that? I have. Good experience? Do you enjoy doing it? Yeah, I think so. I think it's a good idea. I think it's a way of the future.

And I think it's good for the environment. Yep. Good for the environment. Good for the wallet. Good for the wallet. And also- And good for the gram. Great. Yeah. Great for the environment. Yep. Good for the environment, good for the wallet. Good for the wallet and also – And good for the gram. Yeah, great for the gram, great for people who can't afford to buy all these crazy garments.

Yeah. But if they still love to wear that stuff, they can. They have access to it. I agree. But I've always thought, how do the fashion labels, how do they feel about it? Like if you're a New Zealand label and you have nice pieces that everyone wants to wear, like do you get pissed off if a company just goes and buys one and then they make money,

more money than you made from renting it out a bunch of times? I get what you're saying. At the end of the day though, people who are renting it aren't going to be buying it anyway. No, and that's a really good point. You know, because they don't have the money anyway, but it means more people get to enjoy your creation. There's a story on the New Zealand Herald today about it,

and they've gone to a bunch of New Zealand fashion designers and retailers and said, hey, you guys cool with this? And good news, they're cool with it. I thought they would be. The people at Kiwi label Ruby, who you love. I love Ruby. They said they're all about it. They said that they believe in renting clothes

and they think that it's a good system. New Zealand designer Juliet Hogan said that it's cool because it means that people who might not usually be able to afford their clothes can wear them and they might actually fall in love with that item of clothing or that label and then save up to eventually own a piece themselves. Like it's kind of like an entry-level way of wearing something more expensive. You can see if you'd really, really want to buy something.

Yeah, exactly right. So there's designer wardrobe. There's a whole bunch of other ones. Do you know of any others that you use? I don't know of any others. I've only ever been to designer wardrobe. Anastasia, there's a bunch of places that you rent dresses and stuff from, right? Different pages?

Yes, yeah. The main one I go through is the Borrowed Collective, a really nice girl in Auckland. But there are heaps all over the- Is that your page? Don't you run your own page? No, I don't run my own page. But no, there's heaps of them, even in Christchurch and everything.

All over the country now has their own ones. There's no men's ones. There's none for dudes. Yeah, suit for hire. Yeah, the closest we've got is Frank Casey suit hire. Yeah. You know, and you can go and rent a tuxedo. Suits for hire.

Yeah. Because- But they don't like cool guys' clothes. Let me just speak for the ladies for a second. Yeah. You know, and you can go and rent a tuxedo. Suits for hire. Yeah. Because, let me just, they don't like cool guys clothes. Let me just speak for the ladies for a second. Yeah. It's a lot harder for the ladies, I think,

in terms of what we're talking about, the races, you know, a black tie dinner event. There's a lot more pressure on females where we have to wear something different, a different dress, a different, we can't just have, don't just have one suit where we switch out a shirt every time. What are you trying to say?

You have it easier. You're trying to say I've been running the same pair of pants and shoes with a different jacket for the last four years. And I think it's completely fine. And I would love if we could do that, but unfortunately the standard isn't like that. Yeah, well there you go. If you are a part of it, it's cool and it's a great idea. Or you should

start your own. Me? I should start one. Yeah, a hire for men's clothes. Alright, well if anyone's looking to hire a crusty old four-year-old suit. I was going to say, one of my four blazers that I've been rotating for the last six years. Get in touch.

Get in the DMs, baby. Yeah. The races are coming up. It's time for Google Down. Google, are you down, down, down, down, down, down, down? What the hell? I think Google's actually... T's and C's apply.

Google is actually not down. Yeah, don't sue us, Google. Yeah, don't sue us. But we do like to play this once a week. You take on the team here to see who is the fastest Googler. A bunch of questions. Whoever yells out the correct answer first wins. The team you will be taking on, Jeremy today.

G'day, mate. How are you? Good, mate. Have you played this before or is this your first time? First timer. Okay, great. Did you hear the rules or do you want me to give them again? Nah, all good.

Okay, perfect. Jeremy, what are you Googling on this afternoon? An iPhone. Okay, everyone else will be Googling on a phone to keep it fair. Here comes question number one. Yell out the answer when you're ready. Which actress played the Natalie Cook character in the Charlie's Angels films from the 2000s? Cameron Diaz.

That's right, Ben. That was a guess. I Googled it. Actress Natalie Cook. Did you really Google that? He got that. Wow. I mean, he's really stepped up his game.

That was one in three. You were right to have a guess if it was a guess. I mean, could have been. Did you know that Natalie Cook was a Charlie's Angel, though? No, I didn't even know who that was. Once you've said the Charlie's Angels bit, you're free to have a guess. No, but it could have been another woman on the movie. But it wasn't.

You know what I'm saying? But why would you ask a question about that? Because I like to trick you guys. Alright, one to Ben. Question number two. How many kilometres is the moon from Earth? How many?

384,400 comments. 384,400. Anastasia got it. I'll give it to her. They all just yelled over Jeremy, but. I definitely yelled over Jeremy. I'll give a point to Jeremy too. Yeah, no.

Point to Jeremy, point to Anastasia, point to Ben. Not as far as I thought. What are you planning on doing? No, I just, yeah. You're going to do a trick to the moon? What was the answer? How many k's to the moon? 340-something thousand.

No, 384,400 kilometres. Not as many as you thought. That's fair too. Still far. I mean, that's a lot of in-flight service, I think. All right, here we go. Question number three. You still with us, Jeremy?

You got a point? Yep. Okay, perfect. How much did Tim Allen get paid for Toy Story 3? $5 million. $50,000. Okay, Anastasia. $22 million.

Clint got that one. Nice work. Jeremy, I like how fast you were. Yeah, he's fast. Unfortunately, that was for Toy Story 2. I was looking for Toy Story 3. You were bloody close. What about Anastasia thinking he got $50,000? That was for Toy Story 2. I was looking for Toy Story 3. You're bloody close. What about Anastasia thinking he got 50,000?

That was for the first one. We all know that the first thing that Google spits out isn't always accurate. Like 22 million isn't accurate, but sometimes you just got to go with the flow. All right, we are on even playing field. Here we go. Question number four.

Who invented Bunch O' Balloons? Zuru. Zuru toys. No. Josh Malone. That's right, Anastasia. Bunch O' Balloons, if you haven't seen them, obviously the answer to filling up water balloons

and then they come on those sticks. I've seen them on TikTok. They were the number one toy in 2019 or maybe earlier, 2018, something like that. Yeah, Kiwi Invention. Yeah. I've seen them on TikTok. They were actually, they were the number one toy in like 2019 or maybe earlier, 2018, something like that. Yeah, Kiwi and Minchum. Amazing. Josh Malone, shout out to that guy. Anastasia's on two.

Everyone else is on one. Question number five. How many animals did Noah take on the ark? How many animals? 70,000. Anastasia's out. 3,858,920. Clint's got it.

Doesn't it sound very accurate? It sounds extremely accurate. A pair of each species on Earth. On a boat. Yeah. Debatable. Well, it's a hypothetical question, Jeremy, isn't it? All right.

Just what Google says. I'm not here to debate. I don't want any more of it. It's off Google. Okay, two for Clint, two for Anastasia, one for Ben. I'll leave. Jeremy can have my point. Two for everyone.

Jeremy, you're on two. Good luck, Jeremy, mate. This is for the win. Who won the Bledisloe Cup in 1992? Australia. Clint wins. Is that the only time they won?

Hey, we won a few. We won a few. Jeremy, you don't get the title, but you get 50 KFC chicken dollars. Congratulations. Thank you. Cheers for playing, dollars. Congratulations. Thank you. Cheers for playing, mate. Good effort from Jeremy. Go the Wallabies.

A bit of a sticky situation for this couple. When this woman has reached out online to ask for help and advice, she was set to move in with her boyfriend. They've been dating for a fair while now, about a year and a half, I think. Yeah. Anyway, he owns the property. I think he owns the apartment. And he said, we should move in together.

You should come and live with me. It'd be great. And she was like, yep, I think we're at that stage. Let's do it. Take the plunge. Anyway, they hadn't really talked about how much she would contribute or what the situation was going to be. But within the few weeks where they were organizing things

and her stuff to be moved in and whatever, they started talking about how much money each other made. Oh, okay. This conversation came up in the time frame. Anyway, her boyfriend is a made. Oh, okay. This conversation came up in the time frame. Anyway, her boyfriend is a doctor. Oh, okay. Right? So he's probably on pretty good coins.

You'd assume so. They got into a conversation and it turns out she actually earns more money than him. Wow, what does she do? I believe she's a social media manager. Okay. So she's doing well for herself. She must be believe she's a social media manager. Okay. So she's doing well for herself. She must be managing a pretty important social media account.

Yeah. To earn more than a doctor. Yeah, she's earning more money. Anyway, she has now said that he, since finding that out about her, he has said to her, right, you can pay for half my mortgage then once you move in. Oh, bad room read, bro. And she isn't comfortable with it, and this is why she's asking for advice.

She said, I'm not comfortable with that, paying for half the monthly mortgage because my name won't be on any documentation. No. What if we are together for two years, I pay for half the mortgage and then we break up? Yeah. And I have nothing to show for myself.

You're moving in together. You're not getting married, you know? You're not at that stage. You're just offering her like a, not even a room. She's going to share your room. Yeah, so she doesn't even get her own room. Yeah, nah. What is...

That's greedy. What is the rules or what is the right thing around this situation? I don't think that her income should have been a deciding factor on how much she pays. Unless, of course, her income was particularly low for reasons beyond her control. Then that could come into it. And then it might come into it because he might be generous and say,

I know you can't really afford it. So let's just do it like this. I'm a doctor and I own the house. I've got a mortgage, but let's work something out. But that way around, nah, that's all right. Well, I put it back on you. You literally had this exact experience. You moved in with your partner.

Yeah. Who part owns the house that you live in. Yeah. Do you have to pay half the mortgage because you've moved in? Well, no. No. I don't. Do you pay market rent?

I pay market rent. Right. Yeah. So whatever the room would rent for, that's what you pay? Yeah. Right. Well, I don't pay for the full because I'm sharing the room. Yeah.

But our situation's a little bit harder because we were at first, I was paying a different amount of rent when there was more people in the house. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Now you guys have to pay extra to live alone. Yeah, exactly, which is fine with me. We like living by ourselves and we pay a little bit extra. That's all good with me.

I want people to call up 0800DIALZM. So the situation is girl is dating a guy. He's a doctor. She's a social media manager. He owns the place. She earns more. She earns more. She earns more. He found that out and now thinks she should pay half of his mortgage.

What's the right way to deal with that? What's the right way to split it? I'll hold on to my opinion because I've got quite a strong opinion now. So I will hold on to that. But let's see if we can figure this out as a community. And I think it'd be great to hear from people Who are in this situation Or have been through it

And what they did in their situation Yeah, yeah, yeah 0800 dial ZM Or you can text us on 9696 Was it uncomfortable hooking up with your landlord Effectively as well? It's kind of a sexy role play Is it?

I'm sorry, I'll clean my room. Right now we're talking about a situation which I feel like quite a few people have probably been in from time to time. A woman has asked for advice. She's in a relationship with this guy. He's a doctor. She's a social media manager.

And he owns his own place and said, I'd like you to move in with me. Anyway, it hadn't been discussed how much she'd contribute or what the situation was going to be, but he found out that she actually earns more money than him. Yeah. And straight after he found that out, he said, right, that means you can pay half my mortgage then.

Great. Right, the renter's half the mortgage. Exactly. Which seems a little bit... Someone made a really good point on the text machine that half the mortgage could be better than market rent, but from the way this is phrased, it doesn't seem like it is, right? No, it doesn't seem like it. It seems like he found out

she's doing really well. So he's up the rent. So he's up the amount to go, oh, alright, we'll get on board. Cash, cash. Oh, I'm about to, you know, cash in here. So we're asking you this afternoon on 0800DIALZM, have you been in a similar situation? What do you think is the right thing to do in this case? Yeah, how do we deal with it? Taylor's here. G'day, Taylor. Hi, Taylor. G'day, how's it going? Good, thanks. Have you been in a similar situation? Nah, not me

personally. My mate was in a situation where she was making less money and her partner was like, oh, well, you can pay half. And she was struggling a bit. And then long story short, they broke up. They were together for three years anyway. And she could have walked away with half the house, but she walked away with nothing. Oh, was that her decision?

I think it was hers in the end, yeah. That's such a good point. They should go, well, you owe me half the mortgage, put half the house in my name, you know? That's right. That's what a lot of people on the text machine are saying, actually. They're like, if he wants her to pay half, then her name goes on the mortgage. On the deed.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And that's how everyone wins. Yeah. And you know what? That's fair enough then. Makes the breakup really messy because you've got to sell a house. But, I mean, it's one way to do it. Anna's here.

Hi, Anna. Hi, Anna. Hi. So I actually think it's fair. Oh, okay. Tell us why. Tell us. So I guess people are going off the presumption that he's a doctor, but he could very well

be like a junior doctor who has a ton of medical loans or earning minimal pay. So his pay probably isn't as high as what people think. Right. And then if they were to go flatting, say if he didn't own his own property and they were to go flatting, they probably would be paying half and half anyway. Right. I mean, in four years, she's entitled to half anyway.

So I think it's fair. I think people are just assuming because he's a doctor, he will have a whole lot of money. And really, he... That's a good point. We've assumed that. I'm sure he will do fine eventually.

I think it's just how... I totally get what you're saying, Anna. I think it's just how the story reads that he found out how much he earned and then said, now it's just how... I totally get what you're saying, Anna. I think it's just how the story reads, that he found out how much she earned and then said, now it's this much. Do you think her name should go on the property straight away, though? If she's going to pay exactly half of the repayments, she should go on the title as well?

It depends, because if he's been paying off the mortgage for a while, then obviously he already owns more of it anyway. But then you could obviously put a clause in there that she only gets half of the value that's added. Yeah. Yeah, right. Oh, messy. That's so messy, eh?

This really takes the romance out of moving in together. Doesn't it? You're sitting there with your bottle of champagne and your fish and chips for your first night together and you're like, now, can we get down to brass tacks? You owe me $33. Danielle's here. Hi, Danielle.

Hi, Danielle. Hi. Have you been in this situation? Yeah. So my boyfriend moved into my house, and we had a flatmate at the time. Okay. And so I charged him what I would charge a flatmate moving in. And then we kind of talked about it, and we both kind of wanted the flatmate out and just to live by ourselves so i said look can you pay an extra hundred dollars a week which was still

not half of the mortgage but it was just to like you know make up for the difference really of having a flatmate and we're both still compensating to that so and then we've bought a house together wait was he cool with it was he cool with it straight What's the now pay half for? Was he cool with it straight away? Yeah, good. That's pretty much the exact... I'm here to think it over. Oh, okay. Right, okay. That's pretty much the exact same situation that I was in, and we did the exact same thing. I paid some more so then we could have the whole house.

I thought you were going to say, Danielle, he broke up with you over $100 a week. He's like, get out of here. He's like, babe, I can't do that. How about I go flatting with the boys, and you stay here and pay all of it and I'll still come round on Friday. When he moved in, he ended up paying less than where he was previously.

So it worked out well for him in the end. Oh, yeah. I also just pictured Danielle like walking around cracking the whip. She was like, you listen to me. She's running her finger along the seat. I owe 95% of this company. She's wiping things going, this is a bit dirty. I know, it'd be so good.

Yeah, all right. Hey, thanks, Danielle. Thank you for calling in. We appreciate it. All good. All good. We're just talking about before the mortgage situation where the girl's moving in with her doctor boyfriend.

She's earning more money than him, so he said, sweet, you pay half the mortgage. A lot of texts are saying they're in a very similar situation and when they moved in, one continues to pay the mortgage and the other one pays for groceries, bills, internet, all that stuff. Yeah. Well, the mortgage is a fixed price though. Bills go up and down.

Yeah, but also if you are the mortgage one and the other person takes over the groceries, you're like, oh, I might upgrade to four-ply toilet paper. Oh, you know what? My diet has changed. I think I need Lewis Road Creamery milk now. I mean, it's not a great sign for your relationship if that's happening. Sounds like you guys are destined for marriage.

Can you get four-ply toilet paper? I was just going to ask the same thing. Ben, can you Google it? Can you Google four-ply toilet paper, see if we can buy it? Unpopular opinion this might be, but I can't stand those double, triple rolls. Oh, why not? Because they don't fit between the wall and the toilet roll holder,

so when you're trying to pull your toilet paper out, it gets stuck. They fit on my one. Yeah, but are you going double or triple? I think I'm talking about triple. Oh, you're not. Oh, he's found a four-ply. Oh, yeah, Quilton do a four-ply. That looks very expensive.

It's called four-ply softness gold. For four-ply, how much are we talking? Oh, this is Australian website. Catch. Yeah, no. Okay, we'll find out our four-ply information soon. Let's go to Sam. G'day, Sam. Hi, Sam. G'day, guys. How you doing?

Good, mate. How are you? Yeah, good, good. Thank you. How many ply toilet paper do you use? I go for the 3-ply. 3-ply, yeah. 3-ply standard. There's plenty, yeah. As long as your finger doesn't go through. That's what you need. Sam, what's your birthday, mate? It's the 22nd of December

Let me talk to Steve. Steve, is that a B-double, would you say? Yeah, there is. There's B-double in truck and trailer. It's like the same thing. See? I know a little bit of here, a little bit of there. Steve, the bold B-double. Alright, Steve, what's your birthday, mate?

Happy birthday. Not bad. I like that tattoo band, I must say. Did you like the music video? Is there a particular reason? No, it's the beat. It's the beat. It's the beat.

Yeah. It's a great song. And here's a fun fact about one of the members from that band. She's now a politician. Is she? Yeah. Wow. Is she?

Yeah, legit. I'm being serious. Fascinating. Okay, Steve, my almost birthday twin. You're five days younger than me, by the way. We'll do one more birthday banger for Emily. Hi, Emily. Hi, Emily. How's it going? Good, mate. How's your day going? Oh, bloody fantastic.

Is that sarcasm or you're having a fantastic day? I mean, it's, what is it, 5.30? It's time for bed. Okay. Time for a vino and hit the pillow, hey? Let's get you through then so you can hit the hay. What's your birthday, Emily?

And on your 16th birthday, this had a number one hit. Another banger. All the bangers. All the bangers. A great song from Katy Perry and Snoop Doggy Dogg.

All the millennial anthems today. I love it. That might keep Emily awake for an extra three and a half minutes. Wait there, we'll deliberate on these for an extra three and a half minutes. Wait there. We'll deliberate on these. We've got Like a G6, All the Things She Said from Tartu and California Girls. What's your gut telling you? They're all good songs.

I like them all. For me, California Girls, we hear quite a lot on Friday Jams. Yeah. It's between Like a G6 and all the things she said. I agree. Like a G6 just does something to me. That's why I already put it in. Yeah.

It just, it's just got that vibe, eh? Hey, Sam, congrats. You just won Birthday Banger. Congratulations. Nice one, team. You have a good one, eh? You too, Sam.

Alright, later. There you go. It's a great one. Brian Clint, here's your Birthday, Sam. All right, later. Here you go. It's a great one. Brian Clint, here's your birthday bangers. Hit him. I'm close in the eyes, like a blizzard. Brian Clint. Hold your applause until I announce one of the country's finest here in New Zealand.

Canterbury has been awarded in the top ten of Booking.com's most welcoming regions on earth. Wow. On earth. Wow. Well done, Canterbury. The whole earth. You welcoming bastards.

Welcoming lot. I mean, that's a better deal. So according to Booking.com, Canterbury, the region, are one of the most welcoming places on earth. Yeah, the awards, pretty much it's based on like 232 million verified traveler reviews, and then they figure out all these kind of things. Wow. And Canterbury is coming up trump.

It's number six. Everywhere in New Zealand is pretty welcoming at the moment, especially the tourism operators are like, welcome, please, come on in. Do you want half price? You can have half price. Please buy two things. No, I'm going to say Canterbury. Well done, guys.

Do we believe it? Well, we have two cantabs on our team, Ben and Anastasia. They're fairly welcoming people, right? Both welcoming, lovely people. Every time we go down to Canterbury, always very welcoming. They always make us feel welcome. Super welcome. Especially the people at Fat Eddie's at like 11.30 at night.

Probably a little bit too welcoming. Very welcoming. I thought we could put it to the test this afternoon, come up with this plan where we're going to call a local shop in Christchurch in the area. I'm going to tell them that I'm staying at a hotel around the corner and I've had some car trouble and I really need someone to drop me at a Brazilian waxing appointment. Well, someone welcoming would make that happen for you.

I know. Hey, it's Colleen speaking with Emma. Hi, Emma. Hi. How are you? Good, thanks. How are you? Not too bad.

Hey, Emma, this is a bit of a weird call. I'm a bit embarrassed about this, but I'm staying around the corner at the Novotel. It's just around the corner from you guys. I walked past you guys earlier today. I have my wedding this weekend and I'm not from Christchurch and my rental car has just absolutely done a number on me and I really have to get to a Brazilian waxing appointment

this afternoon in Maryvale. I was just wondering what time you finish, if you could maybe do me a solid and give me a lift. Oh, who am I speaking with, sorry? Oh, my name's Bree. I'm the bride. Oh, like me personally give you a lift? Yeah, I mean, I could buy buy you dinner we could have some chats i know it's a really weird call but i'm really stuck because all my family and

everyone they're originally from australia and they've been stuck over there because of covid so i'm pretty much on my own here and i mean you need a weed whacker to sort out my my nether regions at the moment and i can't go into the weekend, like my wedding night will be a disaster. I hate to say this, but actually something I asked for at the moment, it sounds a bit of a lie, but can you get an Uber? Yeah, so I actually got banned from catching Ubers. True, my friend has done that before.

It was a night out, I don't want to talk about it. I mean, I don't think it was my fault. Uber deemed it was my fault. But I mean, could I swing you 50 bucks and you could do me a solid and give me a lift and we'll have a laugh? Honestly, you sound great. And I honestly would because my car is here

and I'm not far from you. But I actually do have something on right after work that I have to attend to. Oh, okay. What are you going to? I mean, could I come? I thought you had to go to an appointment. It sounds very pressing. I know, but like, I mean, if you've got a better, more fun plan, I'd be keen. Because I'm here by myself, I just want to have a good time, you know. I'm a bit nervous about the wedding. Like, I'm not too sure Because I'm here by myself, I just want to have a good time. I'm a bit nervous about the wedding. I'm not too sure if I want to marry the guy.

Oh, it sounds like maybe you have a lot of thinking to do then. Yeah, good day. Emma, it's Bree's husband-to-be, Clint here. Oh, true. Could you please take her to the appointment? That shit needs sorting out. What are you doing?

It's like a forest down there. I'm drunk. You're drunk? I can't drive. I assume you're also banned from Uber? Yeah, banned from Uber, yeah. No, he doesn't even have a phone, honestly. He's hopeless.

All right, well, I gave it a shot. I might call H&M, see what they're up to. I hope, well, they have a lot more staff there, so hopefully they can help you out. I mean, bring the poor women in on the joke. Come on. This has gone on long enough. It's Bree and Clint from ZM. How are you going, mate?

I'm good, thanks. How are you? You were lovely, by the way. I loved how you tried to, like, subtly palm me off in any way that you could, and I wasn't letting you get out of it. It's funny, though, as I actually do something on Raft to her. No, you don't have to lie anymore. No, you can stop lying.

You can tell us the truth. Come on, tell us the truth. No, we were doing a test because Canterbury got voted in the top ten places of most welcoming regions in the world and we just wanted to see. She was definitely the most polite. You were so polite, like so lovely, and to be honest, I wouldn't take some crazy woman to a Brazilian appointment that I'd never met either.

So we appreciate your time. Thank you. No, that's all right. Have a lovely day. You too, mate. See you. Cheers. Good luck with the appointment.

Bye. Appreciate it. Thank you. There you go. Canterbury. Pretty bloody welcoming. Won't give you a ride to you. And also, they're too smart for that.

Let's talk records, Clint. Oh, yeah. Because a woman by the name of Julianne Morgan believes she found a record-breaking chip. Good for her. In a bag of frozen chips. I love these stories. Remember the story about the giant potato?

Yes. That was so good. We talked to them. Yeah, where was that? Where was that found? In Hamilton, I believe. Yeah, I love that story. Anyway, Julianne Morgan was very excited when she pulled out a chip

that was a whopping seven inches. And if I know chips, that's above average. Seven inches. Which is, I've done the math, 17.78 centimetres. Oh, that's above average. It's above average. We had a conversation at this exact time last night, and that is five centimetres above average.

It's way above average and she's stoked about it. She has talked about maybe... It's a real chip, right? This is not a euphemism. No, it's a real chip. Right, okay. It's from... This is over in England. Deluxe Maris Piper chunky

oven chips. There you go. There's a plug for them. If it was a record-breaking chip, I always wonder this with these things, you would be hesitant to eat it. But then what a waste to not eat the world's biggest chip. To experience it. You know? I agree.

She said she has plans to maybe even frame the big chip. I love it. It's so cute. She's adorable. Good on you, Marion. She said the big piece of potato brightened her day. Well done. And I thought we could do a bit of a challenge here in the studio tonight

where we've got some frozen chips. I've been through the bags earlier because or else it was going to take too long, and I've pulled out what I think are the longest chips in the bag just to see. Okay. If you can beat seven and a half inches. Well, it's a seven and a half now? Look at it. Yeah, that's a big chip, eh?

It's almost eight inches. I reckon if she straightened that thing out. That is a big... I mean, depends. That's what I always say. If you straighten this thing out... If you pull it straight

and you really... I'll get at least another half a centimetre. Okay. Alright, go for it then. You need to at least get a 17 centimetre for it to be considered.

It's very long, isn't it? Okay, so this one is good radio. Yeah. Oh, no, I've got to go over here. See, we're looking at about 10 centimetres on those chips. That's an average-sized chip too. You reckon? Yeah, yeah.

If I grab one out, that would be just a normal size. That's 11. I wouldn't think it was small. We've got 11. Small or big. But did you see the chip I found in the frozen part? No. I haven't cooked this chip.

Oh, these cooked ones. They're cooked ones, which I think they shrink. They've got a bit of shrinkage. But I found this. Did you? Okay, yeah. I found this chip. I'm just going to measure this bad boy up.

Am I just... Hey, I just talked to the producers for a second. You do your thing. Am I just playing along with this for the video? You want to... Yeah, just keep going. Yeah, just keep going. Look!

21 centimetres! Wow. Definitely wasn't two chips. Go to the song. It wasn't two chips out together chips Go to the song Definitely wasn't two chips Out together Go to the song So impressive Man someone get a frame

That's good shit man Guys we were meant to reinforce it So we knew Damn it Should have put a toothpick through it.
