Thank you so much. Good game, guys. That was one of the best games we've had for a while ZM, Brian Clint, Lewis Capaldi Pointless, you see he farted into the microphone At his latest gig Did I see it, of course I was the first to see that content Disgusting Hilarious

He's got to put his mouth on that microphone. I mean, you know, they do say don't do that where you sing, but oh well. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Don't S-H-I-T where you eat or sing. I'm sure he'll be fine. He'll be fine. Hey, did you see this big news in the TikTok world? No.

We need the TikTok sing for this. TikTok, TikTok, TikTok. This is quite big because- Oh, is this the American government thing? Well, this is the big change that's coming to TikTok soon. And apparently in the coming weeks, all users under 18, so all the teenagers and kids, will have the settings on their account automatically altered so they can initially only use the website for one hour a day.

No, that's not real. But this is what it says, and I was like, surely not. And then I kept reading, so listen to all the Ts and Cs. So apparently TikTok or the company said it was providing extra support to help the teens explore the online world independently. But then it goes on to say that the 60-minute scrolling limit won't be binding. No, you just got to turn it off in settings. Exactly.

And if there's anyone who knows how to turn it off in settings. It's the kids. It's the kids. Yeah. They are so far ahead of this. But, so everyone be up in arms about this. Can we look at it objectively for a second? I'm not saying I do this.

Yeah. I'm not perfect. An hour on TikTok a day is plenty. Like an hour a day is more than enough. Should we have a look how much time we have? I don't know how to find them online. What do you mean you don't know how to find them? Of course you do.

Oh, really? Yeah. This is what we do on radio. And then we put ourselves through these tests. Okay, so I'll have a look in the app. Where's the battery thing? Screen time. Got it.

Okay, yep. What's yours? What are you doing? Oh, I've just sneaked in. Have you actually? I've literally just sneaked in, yep. My average TikTok use use 54 minutes a day 50 so you've just literally by these by the by the by the slimmest of margins by the skin on your

chinny chin chin on monday i did an hour 33 but on tuesday i did like under an hour, so it's averaged it out. Oh, you are lucky. I'm trying to find, hold on. I think it's battery I need to go to. This isn't going to be good for me, I don't think. Oh, no. You've done a bit of time in airports over the last week. Okay, here we go. This is Bree's TikTok screen time.

24 minutes a day. Yeah, well, you do a lot of your TikTok-ing on desktops. Look at me. I mean, I record a lot of my TikTok dances off the app and then put them, you know. Get off your bloody phone, everybody. Time for the latest. From iHeart Radio, this is The Latest. There's been another Friends reunion, kind of.

Yeah. Courtney Cox has got a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Did she not already have one? No. Wild to me. Does Jennifer Aniston? I reckon she would. I don't actually know. And Lisa Kudrow? Yeah, possibly. I reckon Jennifer would have one. Is Courtney the last

one? I'll Google it while you're telling me the details. Well, the girls showed up for the laying of her star. Cute. It's quite a big ceremony that they put together, and they love it because all the media come out and they get all the photos. So Monica, Rachel, and Phoebe were all there for the laying of... It was very cute.

I saw Jennifer Aniston. There was pictures of her crying. Yeah. And they all just look like, I mean, mind the pun, such good friends. They do. They do. And I think that's why they show up for that sort of thing. I find

the whole Hollywood Walk of Fame star thingy really weird. Did you know there's almost 3,000 stars now? They're going to run out of the Hollywood Walk. Yeah, possibly. Like the footpath. I think they're on,000 stars now. They're going to run out of like the Hollywood Walk. Yeah, possibly. Like the footpath. I think they're on the side streets now.

Yeah, right. They're just putting them on any street. They just keep going. You can nominate any celebrity to have a Walk of Fame, a star on the Walk of Fame. You just go to the Walk of Fame nomination form

on the Hollywood Walk of Fame website. So we could nominate whoever we want. You can nominate whoever we want? You could nominate whoever you want. You could nominate the Left My Scooter Outside the Dairy Nick Minut guy if you want to. Oh, he deserves one. They're allowed to give Hollywood Walk of Fame stars to dead people, but they can only do one a year.

Only one posthumous star can be awarded a star per year, and they have to have been dead for two years. There's like a waiting period. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm just trying to see which are the friends, but it's quite hard to find the information. And it costs $55,000 for the star. You have to pay for it.

Yeah, you have to pay for it. You have to pay for the ceremony. Do you? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because who was, Christina Applegate recently got one as well like in the last year or so.

She got one on the Hollywood Walk of Fame too. And someone might have paid for that for her. Like the Netflix might have paid for it as part of promotion for Dead to Me

or something like that. Yeah. But the hard cost is 55 grand. Yeah. Right. It says here on the internet that Jennifer Aniston

definitely has one. But then no real word on the other friend. I don't reckon Phoebe wants one. I don't reckon Lisa Kudrow is that concerned with her. She has that vibe about her, eh? Yeah, she's got too much going on with that show where she goes and finds her ancestors and stuff. What's that show? Yeah.

Oh, that show. She was here recently filming some of it. Yeah, right. Well, she's not here now. She's in Los Angeles hanging out on the Hollywood Walk of Fame with her friends Rachel and Phoebe. No, she has Phoebe. Wanna be this way.

Bree and Clint. Guys, strap in because I'm about to provide one of the best life hacks that you probably already know about, but I didn't. Okay? Uh-huh. Now, look, I've kind of tested you and asked you what are the different hacks you have for opening a jar

that you can't get the lid off? Yeah, yeah. I've got two. Yeah, because there's quite a few that have, you know, been around the traps for a while. What are the two that you know? Run it under cold water? Yes, or hot water.

Or hot water? Either or. I can never remember which one is supposed to do. Yeah, same. Because one's meant to shrink the glass and the other's hot water? Either or. I can never remember which one is supposed to do. Yeah, same. Because one's meant to shrink the glass and the other's meant to expand the metal. I don't know. Run it under some water? Yep.

That's one I very rarely do. The main one I do is bang it on the side of a table. Bang it on the side of the table. Bang the edge of the lid of the jar. Got it. Just on the side. Yes. Just like three or four times and then it should just pop open.

Pop straight off. Doesn't always work though, does it? No, it doesn't always work. Doesn't always work. Sometimes there's just a real like lid that won't come off. And obviously some of the other hacks, you probably know about these, but you just forgot. Have you heard of the one where you open a door and you put it like in between

the door and the wall and it kind of like, it's the worst one. It sounds bad for your door and the jar. Yeah, it's not the best one. Because they're glass at the end of the day. Yeah. Yeah. It's quite a risky one. And then the one I used to watch my mum do,

if you're not worried about... I bet I know what your mum's one is. The contents of the jar. And if you're going to use everything in the jar, this is the only time you can use this one. Talk nicely to it. That's what your mum would do. No, it's actually talk dirty to it.

Oh, really? Yeah, Jason Derulo. Listen here, you dirty little jar. You open for me. You tight little. No, it's actually getting a knife and then you stab the top of the lid and it releases the air and the lid always pops off. That's your mum's hack.

Yeah. But I've found a new one. And are you guys ready for this? Ready for this. You can put this into your repertoire. This is the shit people like. This is what we want. This is the good stuff.

This gets us through everyday life. So I have a jar of tomato passata in front of me to demonstrate to you. Well, to be honest, I haven't tested this. So we're going to see if it works. Do you know if it's a tight jar or it doesn't matter? I don't know. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter.

We're just going to test it. You can't test it, right? Otherwise the lid will come off. Exactly. Do you want me to tighten the lid? No. To't matter? I don't know. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. We're just going to test it. You can't test it, right? Otherwise the lid will come off. Exactly. Do you want me to tighten the lid? No. To be safe? No, no, no, no, no.

Do you want me to give it an extra tighten? No, because you might, oh man, you're so strong, you might just pop it off. Okay, what's the... Okay, so all you need is the jar that you can't get open and your can opener. Okay. You don't want the actual part of the can opener that you usually put on the can and then twist. Yeah. You want the part at the other end.

Which has got a bottle opener on it. Which is a bottle opener. I know what you're going to do. Are we ready for this? You put your bottle opener part onto the lid that can't come off. So you're effectively using the jar like a giant beer. Exactly. If I can just get it.

We can cut this part out, right? Okay, you ready? Yeah. Okay. Popped it off. Yeah. And the lead comes off just like that, my friends. Didn't sound all that exciting

but it looked amazing. So how does that can opener thing work? You know how some jars are thicker than others? Like what if you've got the really, you know, the rim sometimes is like double. Look, I'm not the creator of the hack, okay? I'm just bringing you the idea and then you guys use it how you will. I think that would actually work. Yeah, I reckon it did just work.

I mean, that lid could have already been real loose. Who knows? It doesn't really matter. So the key to opening a jar that won't open is a can opener. Yesterday at this time we were talking about bad landlords. Yeah. And you were talking about

the landlord. Where was it in New Zealand? In Auckland who was timing their tenant's showers by standing outside the landlord. Where was it in New Zealand? In Auckland who was timing their tenant's showers by standing outside the bathroom. Literally in the backyard listening to how long they were showering for with a stopwatch. Not okay. I have seen this

story doing the rounds and I thought we could do bad landlords part two. Okay. So I think this came off Reddit but I think it's from a guy living in Australia. And he was talking about how he has a really bad landlord and the situation is that I think there's two properties kind of right near each other, so close together.

So the landlord, he knows that the landlord lives on kind of the same property. He owns both. Yeah. Like a granny flat situation. Kind of, kind of the same property he kind of he owns both yeah like a granny flat situation kind of kind of yeah um and so that's the situation and anyway one morning he receives this text from the landlord okay hi just to let you know that the three freeloaders that walked out of my private garden this morning are not welcome. Would you like to explain this to me? So he, the landlord.

I think the landlord's a she. She. God, I didn't expect it from a woman. But I guess equal opportunity, bad landlord. You didn't expect a woman to own a house? Or just an investment property? No, she can own it, but I expected her husband to do the correspondence.

Right, yeah, yeah, yeah, fair enough. So they are monitoring the visitors going into the flat. Exactly. Because they're not freeloaders, they're just visitors. Well, this is the thing, right? Anyway, the guy says he didn't reply. Good. Because he, I believe, was sleeping,

or I don't know what was going on, but he didn't reply. Before he could reply, he receives another text quite close together, maybe in the same day or the next morning. Okay. And it says this, Hi, Jack. With much regret, I decided I'm no longer going to lease the granny flat out any further.

Notice is now given to you to vacate the property within the legal period of two months or 13 weeks. Effective from the 27th of Feb to 26th of May. Good luck to you. He evicted him. Yep. Or she. Are they evicting them because of the visitors or because they didn't text back? So anyway, they text back and said, what do you mean freeloaders?

My friends stayed over last night and I'm allowed to do that. I can find other accommodation if necessary but does this have anything to do with that yesterday? Anyway, apparently it did and the landlord was trying to say that they're not allowed to have visitors stay over. Which is, if you're renting out a property, you cannot tell someone. I mean, if you're renting out a property you cannot

tell someone. I mean if they're living there for like six months then that's different. And you would notice that from the water bills and things like that. Yeah. But you can have people stay over. And sew off. You can have three friends join you for a sleepover in your bed if you like. This is the issue with anybody allowed

to be a landlord. Like because the whole property market is completely largely unregulated. Yeah. There's some regulation. But if you own a house, you can rent it. You can just do whatever you want. You can do a deal with somebody. And there's laws that you have to abide by, but it doesn't mean you're going to.

Apparently, this same landlord, the guy was having his girlfriend stay over once a week and the landlord found out about it and then upped his rent. You're allowed to do that. That's so awful. That's between you and your flatmates, not you and your landlords. Right, all right. There it is, Bad Landlords Part 2. Bree and Clint.

Time for a very special round of What's the Plot? Once upon a time, there was a girl. She was smart, debatable, talented, eh, athletic. Not really, but picking a movie title based on just the plot line, that she can do. Brie and Clint's What's the Plot?

You know What's the Plot? It's where Brie, our movie buff, goes head to head with you guessing plot lines and your record is pretty incredible. Like I reckon you're probably 96% as far as wins go. You average maybe two to three losses a year. Which is pretty good.

While you were away, Matty filled in for you. Yes. He has 100% record. Yeah, good. He has not lost a single round of What's the Plot. Sure, he only did rom-coms, but it's a pretty good record. Right, Matty, you're undefeated in What's the Plot? Sure, he only did rom-coms, but it's a pretty good record. Matty, you're undefeated in What's the Plot? Yeah, I...

Thank you. It was a hard-fought battle and I'm so proud. God, what a year it's been for me. Winning Treasure Island and having a 100% success rate in What's the Plot? Yeah, I know, right? I mean,

what a year. What a year. Don't forget that little wedding that you had as well. Yeah, it was a wedding but no, it goes Treasure Island, What's the Plot, wedding. Oh, yeah. That's technically last year. It was New Year's Eve. We're going to do a special round of What's the Plot where it's

rom-coms only to decide once and for all who's the What's the Plot rom-com champion? Is it Bree or is it Maddie? I mean, I do love a rom-com. Yeah, but do you love it as much as Maddie? I feel like he exists exclusively off a diet of rom-com and reality TV. I feel like my movie criteria is more vast, but rom-com's up there. Okay, well...

I'm backing myself, Maddie. You've got to back yourself. If I learn anything from you backing myself, Matty. You've got to back yourself. If I learn anything from you from Treasure Island this season, you've got to back yourself. Believe in yourself, Bree, but that doesn't mean you're not going to win. Well, here it goes. You both know the rules.

Your buzzers are your names. First two plot lines is going to win the What's the Plot rom-com title once and for all. Good luck. Here's the first one. Childhood friends Julianne and Michael. Brie! Brie.

My best friend's wedding. Whoa. Julia Roberts. One of my all-time favourites. Get in there. I thought 1997, it's too old for Brie. There's no way she'll get that. Cameron Diaz is in it.

I mean, it's such a great movie. Matty, where were you? It is a great movie. I was there just, yeah. Look, I had a big night last night, all right? I was celebrating my win. I'm not on my game. It is true.

This might not be the perfect time for Matty, but you know, you've got to perform under pressure. This might be the perfect time for me to play, Matty. Okay. Rom-com number two. Lifelong friends, Emma and Adam, take their relationship

to the next level by indoor gardening. Afraid of ruining their friendship, the new lovers make a pact to keep things purely physical.

Maddy. Maddy. Oh, no. Oh, I know the movie. I know exactly what it is. This is hard because there were two movies this year with the exact same plot line. Yeah. Yes.

Oh, my God. I've had a total mind blank. This is not good for me. I'm going to give you three. I'm crumbling under the pressure. Two. One. Oh, God.

Bree, would you like a free guess? I know who's in it. Same. I know which one out of the two it is. Same. I need, nah, it's not coming to me. You're not going to be able to do it either. Because they're so similar.

I'm going to buzz you both out. It's not Friends With Benefits. It's not. No, it was the other one. It's the other one. No Strings Attached. No Strings Attached. The Natalie Portman, Ashton Kutcher one.

It was weird because Ashton Kutcher was in one and Mila Kunis was in the other one with Justin Timberlake. And they were married at the time. They knew. Okay. We stay at one point to breathe. This is wobble dust, Matty. We go to rom-com plotline number three.

Faced with deportation to her native Canada, high-powered book editor... Brie! Oh, no, I know it. Maddie? That's the proposal. That is the proposal. Sandra Bullock.

I knew it too. Ryan Reynolds? Ryan Reynolds. Great movie. Betty White. Betty White's in it too. We have? Ryan Reynolds. Great movie. Betty White. Betty White's in it too. We have arrived at tie break. That's right.

Plot line number three. At the start of a new year, a 32-year-old decides it's time to take control of... Maddie! Maddie. Bridget Jones's diary. It is. Yeah.

Claudia is in shock in the booth. This is not the result that I expected. Gutted. We may have found the one chink in Bree's armour and that could be... Come back and we'll do action films, Maddie. We'll see who'll take it.

There you go. He's the Treasure Island champion and the Watch the Plot rom-com champion. Matty McLean, everybody. Thanks, Matty. Nice work, Matty. Thank you. Bree and Clint. Can we please get some patriotic music for this next break?

Because it's time to talk about the New Zealander of the Year Awards nominees. Have you seen this? Surely Maddie McLean. Surely after last night's performance. Surely Maddie McLean. You'd think so. I think he just missed out on the time frame. So it will be next year, obviously.

If Susan Devoy is nominated, he will be. If Barbara Kendall is in there, he will be roving. I mean, has Susan Devoy already won it? I feel like she could have already won it. For squash? Mate, she is one of this country's greatest athletes ever. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So she could have won it.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. We generally only give it to rugby players, though. That's a bit stiff. I'm kidding. I'm kidding. I'm kidding. I don't think we had New Zealander of the Year back then. Right.

What about Dame Valerie Adams? Like, has she won it? Hopefully. She should have. Yeah. Yeah. Well, let's talk about the nominees this year. Okay.

And then we can discuss. Right. And what you've just said, yeah, kind of fits the bill. Okay. Yeah, right. Okay. So these are the finalists. A chocoblock full of black fans, isn't it?

Well, let's just. These are the finalists for the New Zealander of the Year Awards. We'll kick it off with former rugby player turned mental health advocate Sir John Kirwan. Amazing. Yep, which is, I mean, he's had a massive impact on

New Zealanders. Definitely. You know, like helping people... In multiple areas. Yeah, like helping provide tools to improve mental health and just doing amazing things in that space. So he is like definitely a great. Doing incredible things for thick framed glasses as well. He really is.

He's really leading the charge. Him and John Campbell are opening up a whole new world of eyewear for men. He's killing it. So he's one of the nominees, which I think well deserved. This one I'm so excited about. Have you heard anything? No, none. I'm so excited about this one.

The Top Twins. Great. Yep. Great. Yep, which I mean so well-deserved. Yes. Like, they are New Zealand icons. Their contribution to the fabric of New Zealand society

Yes. is way bigger than people realise. They've been on our TVs for three, four decades. The characters they've created are iconic. They're a part of pop culture in New Zealand and such amazing people too. They both went through breast cancer last year, which I mean, they're just incredible humans.

So cool that they're nominated. Let's move right along to Professor Rangi Matamor. Okay. And do you know who this is? No. Oh, my God, this is going to blow your mind because it blew my mind. So he is an astronomer who is known as the man behind Matariki. Oh, okay.

Yeah, so he campaigned for Matariki to be celebrated for years. Yeah. So, massive. So, even if you don't know who he is, he's the guy who got you an extra day off each year. So, I mean, you deserve to be New Zealander of the Year just for that. Yeah, love that for him. That's excellent.

And the last one on the list, these are all the nominees for this year's New Zealander of the Year Awards. Let me guess. Can I guess? I mean, take a wild, just wild guess. I reckon Ruby Tui. No. Oh.

No, it's actually Paula Bennett. Oh, shut. No, it's not. No, it is. Of course it's Ruby Tui. Of course it's Ruby Tui. You just then were like, what? Oh, I was going to say, oh, good for Paula.

North Islanders are like, I'm getting some vitamin D. All right, Sophie, what's your birthday? It's the 28th of December, 1990.

Yeah. Somewhere in between. Let's get you up to an 8 with a birthday banger. What's your birthday? We've got 14th of February, 1998. It's got a Valentine's Day. That, 1998. It's on Valentine's Day. That's smart that it's on Valentine's because you always get a gift, you hope? This is true.

For your birthday or for Valentine's? Well, it just doesn't matter. You never miss out on Valentine's Day, do you? Your mum's like, I forgot your birthday, but I got you this Valentine's Day gift. It is a sexy mixtape. You were 16, Jade, in 2014. I got you this fluffy. My personal favourite song is Genuine Pony. Here's your birthday banger, Jade.

I was hoping for Genuine Pony, but we couldn't get it there, Jade. It's Story of My Life, One Direction. You a directioner? How did you know? That's amazing. Yeah, it's a bit of you. Yep. Oh, yeah.

It brings me right back to 2013. Which direction is your favourite direction? I'd have to go with North West. Love it. Or North East. Let's wrap this thing up, I reckon. Harry Styles is in the country

within the next seven days so I think we have to I vote for One Direction I think One Direction wins birthday banger today yeah go on no one's going to agree with me on this segment

anymore so I'll just play One Direction Jade you win birthday banger congratulations there it is Jade yes

oh look at her she's just I mean the only direction from here is up. She's still thriving off that big Valentine's Day she had. Written in these walls are the stories that I can't explain. Brianne Clint. The story of my life.

The story of my life. ZM, Brianne Clint, that's a winner of Birthday Banger. Story of life yet and is thinking about maybe buying some secondhand tickets, like, you know, marketplace tickets or Facebook tickets or tickets that didn't come from the actual place. Yes. There are a lot of scam tickets going around at the moment. There's so many different scams too. Yeah. Like it's not just Virago anymore.

Yeah. Like there's all these different scams that are being run on Facebook Marketplace or Trade Me or you just never know who to trust. Bryony, who works here at ZM in the music department, called me desperate on Saturday afternoon because two friends in her group separately had been scammed on Electric Avenue tickets. Not by the promoter. And they didn't buy them off the promoter or their official ticket website.

They bought them off someone on Marketplace and turns out the tickets had already been used. What's the thing if they usually ask you to set up, what type of account is it? Is it not PayPal? There's a certain type of account that they ask you to set up and they'll be like, can you send it to, I can send you the money via this. And as soon as they ask you to set up an account or create this or can you send it to, I can send you the money via this.

And as soon as they ask you to set up an account or create this or create that, it's a scam. Right. So that is good to know. And this is the other official advice for anybody who, this always happens when something sells out and you weren't able to get your tickets from Ticketmaster or whatever the actual website is. You know, people are desperate and that's when people start, you know, doing stuff like this. So the first official advice is not helpful to anyone,

but it's obvious. If possible, buy off the official ticket website. Yeah. Okay? If you can, buy it from the place that... If we could, we would. Ticketmaster do a good job of reselling tickets now. Do they?

Like, if you buy tickets and you can't go, you put them on the Ticketmaster resale website. Oh, that's a good idea. The second bit of advice is stick with people you know. Try and buy from a friend or from a friend of a friend or from a friend of a friend of a friend if you can. Some way of the person that

you're buying off, if there's a link in the chain that you can have come back to go, hey, oi, what's the deal with these tickets? That's what I always do. That's the option I always do. So if you can, if you can. Stick with people you know. This one is do your due diligence.

Due diligence. Do jiu jitsu. Do decadent. Even if it's on Facebook Marketplace, it's your job to do a bit of a stalk. So if you're going to buy off Marketplace, and sometimes that is fine, but it's on Facebook Marketplace, it's your job to do a bit of a stalk. So if you're going to buy off Marketplace, and sometimes that is fine, but it's on you to click into their profile,

see if you have any friends in common, look at their, see if they even have a profile picture. Yeah, see if it's a real profile. Watch the TV show Catfish and then implement all the tools that they use on that show to check out that profile. At least try and guarantee that they live in New Zealand and hopefully in the city where the concert is happening.

They can get pretty thrifty though. So like I said, if they ask you to create an account on whatever that may be, like it's usually, I mean, steer clear of it. Yeah. It says be careful of all social media ticket sales. Trade Me sales at least are guaranteed by Trade Me. So if it falls over, Trade Me guarantees

your purchase and you'll at least get your money back. You might not get to go to the gig, but you'll get your money back. Marketplace does not. It doesn't do anything. It is not, what's it called? Monitored. No. It's a wild west. But that's why it's free. It is free. That's why Wild West. But that's why it's free. It is free. That's why it's free

and that's why people use it. And most people go into it knowing these things. I found this advice really interesting. Pay by credit card. You should, if you can.

Why? Because you're covered by insurance? Yeah. That way if it goes wrong you can contact the bank and they can start a charge back request to get your money back

within 90 days if things go wrong. Right. But I mean, how do you pay a rando by credit card? Like, I don't have pay wave at my house. And I don't really want to be giving my credit card details over the phone to someone I met on Facebook Marketplace. Yeah, and the last advice for not getting scammed

isn't so much about buying them, but it's more so that people don't rip your tickets off. Don't post a picture of the barcode of your tickets on social media. Like if you have tickets to Harry Styles and you're going tonight, and I mean next week, like if it's the day of the concert and you put a picture of your ticket up, and you show the barcode, I can scan that photo

of the barcode and get into the gig. And if I do that before you, then you can't get in on your ticket. And you just go early and then you're stuffed get in on your ticket. And you just go early and then you're stuffed. So there it is. There it is. Happy Virago go, everyone. Bree and Clint.

Oh, I'm so excited for this. And I don't know why I said yes to this. You don't even know what I've done. Also, you don't really know. I know it involves tweezers, though. It does involve tweezers because I saw this article and it was from this person called Rubus. Oh no, sorry, Fidas.

And they're a CEO of this company called Rubus Tweezers. Okay. And they apparently were talking about all the places that you should be tweezing and all the places that you really shouldn't be tweezing. Okay. Which I mean, it's kind of a bit of a grey area. I tweeze nowhere.

Okay, so you do no tweezing. I'm what's commonly known as a big pussy and I can't handle it. Every now and then my wife's like, please let me pluck a couple of nose hairs. My brother, I tried to lay him down and pluck like his monobrow and plucking one hair out of that giant man like big, muscly giant man was like, he goes, nah, no more. I think men's hair is stronger than women's hair, that's why. I think we have

bigger hair so it hurts more. I think that's the dumbest thing you've ever said on this show. I think our follicles are deeper. Mark that down. I think it's worse for us. We'll move on. So apparently and I didn't really know this but the hairs that are on your

nose, moles, ingrown hairs, nipple hairs, armpits, bikini areas and pimples, they should not be tweezed. Don't pluck your mole hairs. I hate having a hairy mole. Yeah. It's not the best day because you're like, oh, everyone's looking at it.

Yeah. No, they say you shouldn't be touching it. No, no, no, no, no. Because those are the longest, curliest of all hairs, the mole hairs. Yeah, I know. They can get quite long, eh? But apparently they can become irritated and infected, and that's why they say you shouldn't be touching them.

Are you going to pluck one of my moles. Are you going to pluck my nipple? Wait, just relax. But if you're wanting to pluck something, they said chin, upper lip, eyebrows, toes, knuckles are all A-OK. Okay, great. Thanks. So what we're going to do

this afternoon is I've brought in some of my best tweezers from home. Can you hear them? Yeah. And I have recorded different body parts into the system. And you're going to have to pick one of the buttons that each has

a different body part on it at random. So they're numbered one through six. I can't see what they are. There's six different ones that I've recorded. And you need to pick one at random and whatever one comes up I get to pluck a hair from your body from that area. Are we just doing

one? We're just doing one? I vote we do two. Because I mean you really need to get the full shebang. Because I've been kind. Let's do one and see how we go. Okay, we'll do one and if it's a real bad one I'm going to choose number three. and see how we go. Okay, we'll do one, even if it's a real bad one. I'm going to choose number

three. Okay, here we go. Here it comes. It's number three. Beard. Oh, the beard's easy! Okay, come on. I'm pretty beardy today. Come and take a beard here. You want it for a moustache or beard?

Not moustache. No, no, no, not moustache. No, it didn't say moustache. Just one. Just one. Pretty good. Oh, this is a long one. Do you want me to get that one? No. Yeah, just do it. I don't care. Don't be such a sissy. Hold on, wait. Well, that's two. Hold on. Okay, you ready?

Yeah. One, two, three. Oh, yeah. Man, they do go so deep, don't they? They go so... I got the full route and everything. I'm quite good at this. Go on, pick one. Okay, I'm feeling pretty confident now.

That was easy. That was easy. I'm going to go with six. Okay, oh, six. Ankle. Oh, yes! I don't think I have hairy ankles. The ankle's such a good one. I don't think I have hairy ankles. The ankle's such a good one.

I don't think I have hairy ankles. No, you'll have a hair on there. Can you get this on the camera? I'm so excited. Oh, yeah, I guess it comes down a little bit. All right, ready? You commentate. Okay, Bree's going into my ankle.

This one. She's at the front of my ankle. She has one here at the front. A one, a two, a three. I barely felt that at all. Did three. I barely felt that at all. Did you? I barely felt that at all. No, no, you've done that.

I'll give you another one. Okay, one more, one more, one more. I'm actually enjoying this now. Are you? Yeah, yeah, I'm actually, this is quite. I'm grooming him on air. Claude, you tell me what number to pick. I've done three and six.

Come on, Claude, don't do me dirty. Four. Four? Okay. All right, Claude's pick. Bumcheek. Four? Okay. Alright, Claude's pick. Bum cheek. Oh no. Claude's sourcing from you.

Oh no. Alright, you're going to have to do this from behind so people can't see my pale white bum cheek. Take me from behind. Here it goes. Oh, I can see them! Okay, you ready? Yeah. Three. Three. I'll tense up. Hang on. Oh, I can see them. Okay, you ready? Yeah. Oh, wow. Three. Oh, no, wait.

Oh, no, wait. Three. I can't get a hold of something. Oh, tense up. Hang on. Okay, cool. Are you ready? Three, two, one.

Just tingled a little bit. Just a little bit. I have to pluck these. I have to pluck my eyebrows with these. Yeah, this is turning into more punishment for you. These need to be thrown out. Where's ball sack? I've got to find ball sack.

Make her do it. Make her do it. Make her do it. Oh, there's Gooch on there. Eyebrow. No, okay, I'm done. Okay, sweet. Bree and Clint. Zed and Bree and Clint, that's Sam Smith, and I'm not here to make friends.

What do you reckon they're here for? You know. Oh, the food. No, good time, not a long time. Oh, I'm always here. That's what I get out of it. It's like, I'm not here to make friends. I'm here to hook up or shut up.

I'm always somewhere for the food. Free food. What about how we have free food at ZM today? I know. What about how Ross Boss did pizza for everybody? For the staff meeting. We need to come to more staff meetings. Where's he finding this generosity?

Do you reckon he's buttering us up for some bad news? I think he's actually moving into couponing. I heard that's his new hobby. Ross seems like someone who'd get into couponing. That's us, everybody. Thank you for joining us. We really appreciate it. With Treasure Island finished now, people have got a hole in their TV diet.

Yeah. So we probably need to get back to recommending some things. Yeah. Oh, there's a great show on TVNZ Plus called Alone. Have you watched it? Essentially, they drop a bunch of different survivalists into a part. Oh, I've heard about it. Yeah, a really remote area.

They change it every time, every season. And then it's whoever can last and live the longest out in this area. Do they die? No, they don't die. But I think the way. You said live the longest out in this area. Do they die? No, they don't die. But I think the way... You said live the longest. Yeah, well, survive. Yeah, exactly the same thing.

They have to either self-eliminate and say, I need out. Or die. Or if their BMI drops below a certain amount... Oh, they get removed. They're removed. Wow. It's really good. Is that the one that has heaps of seasons of it?

I'm not sure. I think it is I think it's been around for ages Yeah And TVNZ have got like Six, seven and eight seasons Or something Yeah
