Boss with KFC's Wicked Box from

You wanna go, so I say
at 3pm.
At 3pm.
Clint's all you can see.
ZM's Bree and Clint. Oh baby.
Yes.
That was sick.
I love that.
Oh, I like it.
Are we the most overproduced radio show at the moment?
Oh, we sound polished until you start listening to you and I talk.
Oh, yeah, don't look too far behind the curtain.
Oh, that was nice, Producer Claude.
Have you been working on that behind the scenes?
No, actually, honestly, I did none of it.
It was all Sam.
Producer Claude on the ones and twos.
Mixing it up.
That was sweet.
How's everybody doing?
Happy hump.
Dry hump.
At the moment, about to be very, very, very wet hump for the whole North Island.
I think the South Island have been copping a pretty wet hump already.
Yeah, it's going to be a juicy hump today, so be safe on the roads.
No, wet.
Yeah, juicy.
Okay.
Wet's juicy.
Yeah.
Moist.
Yeah, yeah.
People don't like that word.
I quite like it.
Yeah, I was just talking about the weather, but yeah.
I don't mind.
Why do people hate the word moist?
It's just got, yeah, I don't know.
It's one of those things.
But you think about it.
You think about it.
The best cakes.
If you're eating a cake, you want it to be moist.
Yeah.
If you're eating a muffin, nothing better than a moist muffin.
Exactly right.
You don't want a dry one.
No one likes chowing down on a dry muff.
Dry muff is no good.
Yeah.
You better be well hydrated if you're going to chow down on a dry muff.
A moist steak, not bad. Does steak, the term moist, I if you're going to chow down on a dry muff. A moist steak? Not bad.
Does steak, the term moist, I know you don't want it dry,
but do you call it moist?
Juicy, that's juicy.
A juicy isn't, would you argue juicy is moist?
Yeah.
Is there a real difference?
It comes down to the juice, doesn't it?
Anyway, it's going to rain this afternoon.
See what happens when you give us those kind of openers, Claude?
We're going to see the new Joker movie, Bree and I, this afternoon after the show.
I can't wait.
We've got another $250 cash and a double pass to the Joker movie with Lady Gaga in it, if you're keen.
You text Joker, J-O-K-E-R.
You leave a space.
You tell us about the dumbest thing you've done in love for love before
and we could hook you up with that $250 cash and a double pass to the movie.
Yeah, how far did you go?
So text Joker in a space and then what you did for love.
Up next on the show, Trady versus Lady, of course.
The ladies pulled one back yesterday, but who will take it today?
Brie and Clint.
It's tradie versus ladies.
Three, two, one, let's go.
We get the tradies, we get the ladies, we put them head to head,
we keep score all year, and we're about to have another round.
The tradies are on 82, the ladies are on 84.
The tradies are on the verge of something great,
but the ladies just keep holding out on them.
Yep.
That's pretty much the headline.
Our lady is calling from Auckland.
She's 35 and she's due to have a baby today.
Welcome to the show, Gemma.
Hi, Gemma.
Hello.
Gemma, if you're losing this game and you go into labour during Tradie vs Lady, you win by default, okay?
Yay!
Emma, I mean, sorry, Gemma's crowning by the end of the game.
Yeah, she's going to push extra hard.
She's going to send her into labour.
You've got to take on our Tradie from Christchurch, the 29, and they are an adrenaline junkie.
Welcome to the show, John.
Hi, John.
Hey, how's it going, guys?
Good, thank you, mate.
What's the craziest thing you've ever
done for the adrenaline rush?
Well, I've done
two bungee jumps, looking at doing
skydumps soon, hopefully.
Hell yeah. Is that a South
African accent? Yes,
it is, yes. Oh, it's lovely. Have you ever taken
on a pregnant woman
who's in labour during a radio quiz?
That's pretty adrenaline junkie stuff to me.
Yeah, can't even say I have.
Yeah, anything could happen.
We're going to make Gemma jump off the Auckland Bridge soon.
That'll get the baby out of there.
The baby will go back up.
Yeah, true.
That'd be bad, actually.
Gemma, Lady, John, Trady,
the first of three correct answers gets the 50 bucks.
Good luck.
Here we go, guys.
Question number one.
In New Zealand, it's known as a chili bin,
but name one other thing people call it from around the world.
Lady.
Yes, Gemma.
Esky.
Esky.
Esky.
The Australians call it an esky.
Americans.
The South Africans like to call it a cooler.
So do the Americans, I think, yeah.
Coolers.
The cooler.
Okay, question number two.
One to the ladies.
Our beloved Black Ferns suffered a shock loss to Ireland the other day.
What sport do the Black Ferns play?
Yes, John?
Rugby.
Rugby.
They, of course, play rugby.
Nice work.
We're all tied up.
Question number three.
Buzz in when you can tell me who sings this song.
What do I know? Flash, lady. Gemma? Tied up. Question number three. Buzz in when you can tell me who sings this song.
Gemma.
Kanye West.
Yeah.
Well done.
Two to the ladies, one to the tradies.
You need this one, John, to stay in it.
Question number four.
Brad Pitt and his much younger girlfriend have been reportedly exploring baby options.
Name one of Brad Pitt's other exes.
Lady.
Yes, Gemma, for the win.
Angelina Jolie.
She's got it.
We'll take it.
She's a lady.
Oh, oh, oh, she's a lady.
I like the idea of them exploring baby options,
like they're picking, like, car interior.
Like, mm, we could get a leather baby.
I mean, we get a good deal on this one.
Yeah, totally. Good work, John could get a good deal on this one.
Yeah, totally.
Good work, John.
But Gemma, the lady about to have a baby, congratulations.
You are a Tradiverse Lady Champion.
Yay.
Thanks, guys.
No worries.
$50 coming your way.
I vote spend it on snacks for the hospital.
Yeah.
I will.
Good idea.
And seeing as you won, you have to name the baby John, okay?
Okay.
It's fair, eh, John?
Yeah, sounds like a good idea.
We won't call you back to check.
We won't.
Do whatever you want.
Good luck with everything, Gemma.
We record a second podcast every day.
It's called The Bree and Clint After Party.
It goes out at 7 o'clock, and we just talk crap on the podcast.
But yesterday we had a special guest.
Our producer Ella's sister joined us.
Her name is Lucy.
Yeah, God, Lucy dished some dirt on you, didn't she?
You asked the question.
Just started dropping bombs in here, like just all over the place.
It was fine.
As little sisters do, she kind of put you on blast, didn't she, Ella?
A little bit.
It's fine. The best thing, though. The best thing
that she said. And she didn't even
think much of it, because we're all sitting here
and we're talking about how Ella
borrows her mum's undies
and then your sister Lucy
drops the bombshell that you
still sleep in a king single
bed.
Ella,
24-year-old engaged
woman. I'm not proud of it. Has a
king single. And my room's too small. To which
I said, my three-year-old has
a king single. Yeah, but what do you do when you
you've moved out and you come back home and
everyone's taken the bigger rooms and then the
little tiny rooms left? I can't
do a big deal. So you're telling me that the room
that you're in can't fit a bigger bed? No way.
Are you in a king single out of necessity?
Yeah, definitely. Does it have one of those
guide rails so you don't fall out in the night?
Yes. No, it doesn't.
It doesn't. Does it have a trundler for when
your friends sleep over? Oh, I love those!
No, I wish actually that would be really handy.
My nephew has one of them. So cool. My daughter's got one.
They're great. I love that. So good.
A little trundler under the bed. I'm thinking about getting one of those for myself.
Well, you need a big room for a trundler underneath
because you've got a queen bed, don't you?
Or king?
King.
You've got a king bed.
God, a trundler would be enormous for that.
Can you imagine though?
How fun would that be?
I'd come over.
My dogs would probably end up sleeping on it.
They'd have so much room.
But no, the good thing with a king single
is cheap sheets and linen and duvets and all that.
Yeah, because they come from the kids department.
I got Toy Story ones.
I got Elsa and
Olaf. With race cars on it.
I would love a car bed.
Got a Ninja Turtle duvet.
Little Mermaid.
Can you get Little Mermaid for your bed?
I didn't think so.
Screw you guys. How many 24 year olds
you know got a Paw Patrol bed?
Me. Not you.
Me. And there's an attachment
where I can install a steering wheel
and it's like I'm driving a car. Are you done?
It's good practice. It's good practice for
when I'm on the highway. You'd have to get two
Paw Patrol duvets to cover your big bed.
Mum said,
and mum said if I'm real good, we can
get one to put on top of my bed and make bunk beds.
Done.
And then my mum said that if I get bunk beds,
then my fiancé Ryan can sleep up there.
So who's laughing now?
He sleeps on the floor.
Who's laughing now?
Or at least get a trundler for your fiancé.
No, we get the camping mattress out for him.
I was going to say, imagine you and your fiancé
trying to sleep in that king single.
You'd have to sleep like in a bear hug.
We want to ask this afternoon,
how old are you and what size is your bed?
Yeah, what size bed are you rocking?
We're bullying Ella, we know.
But it's funny.
We just want to know, is it unusual for a 24-year-old to have a king single bed?
Or are you a 27-year-old and you're on a single single?
Yeah.
You know?
Yeah.
You're in a bird and Ernie situation.
God, I just remember, like, when I was at boarding school,
the beds were smaller than a normal single bed.
And I remember when I was in grade 12, and I was this remember when I was in grade 12,
and I was this height when I was in grade 12,
so I'd have to sleep with my legs crunched up.
And I remember promising myself that the first chance I got,
I was going to buy myself a big bed.
And I've never went back to a single.
That's what Ella said when she went shopping for a kengsengi.
Get the big bed.
You know when you go to the mattress store and they go,
hello, miss, do you want me to show you over to the queen size?
And you go, nah, King Single, please.
That's why I shop online.
Oh, $800, and then we want to know your age and the size of your bed.
Okay?
Come on.
Join in.
Come on.
And what's on your duvet?
What is it?
A little mermaid?
Race cars?
Bree and Clint. What's on your duvet? What is it? A little mermaid? Race cars? We've just been bullying our producer Ella with love.
With love.
With love.
It's coming from a good place.
We were just shocked to find out last night that she's 24,
engaged to be married and sleeping in a King single.
Do your legs hang off the end?
No, they don't.
I'm fine.
You're pretty short.
I curl up.
I don't have a pillow.
And I go left, right, left, right, back.
You don't have a pillow? No. You're pretty short. I curl up. I don't have a pillow. And I go left, right, left, right, back. You don't have a pillow?
No.
You sleep with no pillow?
You put it up so it's leaning against the wall.
And then I go on my tummy.
And then I go left, right, back.
You sleep with no pillow and you're king singy?
Yes.
Do you have a swaddle as well?
Yes, Claudia.
Welcome.
Welcome, Claudia.
Welcome to the party, Claudia.
So we're asking, how old are you?
And what size is your bed?
Her mum puts her in a swaddle after she burps it.
She does say goodnight to me.
Have you done enough wheeze?
Sing for your song.
Ellie, you'll like this.
Someone texted and said, my two-year-old has got a queen-size bed.
Can I have one?
Do a swap.
We should do a swap.
Here's the thing about being an adult.
You can have one.
Someone else said
If you want one
My room's too small
I'm 64 and I sleep on a king single
I snore
64
I snore
It's obviously the spare room maybe
Yeah true
True
Ben's joining us on the phone
Hi Ben
Hi Ben
Hi
First of all how old are you Ben?
I'm 27
27
And what bed size are you rocking Ben? I have 27. 27. And what bed size are you rocking,
Ben? I have a king single.
King single. A king single.
And what do you love about the king single?
It's just
it's so neat and tidy. It just fits
nicely in the corner of my room. Doesn't take up too much
space. And the follow-up question, what is on your
duvet?
It's just a plain neutral
kind of blue-coloured.
I thought you were going to say just planes.
Yeah.
From the movie Airplanes.
Planes.
It's good.
Yeah, you must have the best bit.
King single.
You could have a Finding Nemo duvet.
He doesn't like that.
Okay.
No worries, Ben.
Thank you.
Someone texted and said,
when I met my now wife,
she was 21,
living in her parents in a king single bed.
It was on wheels and they had wooden floors.
Indoor gardening meant the bed would move around
and you'd wake up a bit disorientated.
Where am I?
Also couldn't sit up and lean it against the wall
because the bed would go whoosh.
That sounds like my worst nightmare.
You need to get those little rubber feet for those.
Why is the bed on wheels?
On a wood floor.
Rico's here.
Hi, Rico.
Hi, Rico.
How you going?
We're good.
How old are you, Rico?
16.
16.
Okay, this is big.
And Rico, what size bed are you running?
California King.
A California King.
The Rihanna bed.
Wow.
Rico, how's a 16-year-old in a California King?
Pretty mean. Heaps of space. Yeah, I know. Yeah, I bed. Wow. Rico, how's a 16-year-old in a California king? Pretty mean.
Heaps of space.
Yeah, I know.
Yeah, I bet.
Yeah.
Did you buy it yourself or were your parents like,
you know what our 16-year-old needs?
A bed big enough for four people.
Oh, no, I got it myself.
Oh, you bought it for yourself?
Yeah.
That's impressive, man.
And Rico, what was the reasoning behind, dare I ask,
you wanting a California King?
Oh, I just wanted a big beard.
Yeah.
Well, good for you if you saved up and bought that.
That wouldn't have been cheap.
I got a Kelly King, Rico.
It's bloody hard to get sheets, isn't it?
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's hard at the top.
Yeah.
First world problem.
Sounds like it.
We're not getting any sympathy from Bree, Rico, but that's all good.
Thanks for your call.
Someone said, I'm in a queen, but I'm considering switching down to a king single.
Ella, is it really as good as it's made out to be?
Yeah, it's not bad.
It is.
It's fine.
You have more room on the floor.
Unless you're having sleepovers, which makes it complicated.
But if you're not doing that, it's fine.
My brother is 30 next year and he still sleeps in a king single.
Loser.
Someone else said, I had a single bed till I was 26 and have just moved out and now have a double bed.
See, that would be a huge step up.
Single to double would be huge.
Question.
Question.
I don't know if it is.
Like a single bed.
It's two singles.
Is a double, eh?
It's two standard singles.
But it's not any longer.
No.
So it's still the same length as a single or double bed. Yeah. Gosh. You go down to a double A. It's two standard singles as a double. But it's not any longer. No. So it's still the same length as a single, a double bed.
Yeah.
Gosh, oh, gosh.
You go down to a double from a queen, you'll feel it.
Whereas a king single, I believe, is longer than a double bed.
Okay.
But not as wide as a double bed.
Well, there you go.
Yeah, suck it.
So you and your fiancé could top and tail.
Yeah, fun.
That'd be easier, wouldn't it?
You can lift my toes. Sorry. Maybe not. could top and tail. Yeah, fun. That'd be easier, wouldn't it? You can lift my toes.
Sorry.
Maybe not.
All right, Ella.
Your mum listens to this show?
Yeah, she does.
Sorry, Mum.
Bree and Clint.
Zed and Bree and Clint.
Bruno Mars and Lady Gaga.
That new Joker movie with Lady Gaga in it comes out tomorrow,
and we've got $250 cash and free tickets.
If you tell us the craziest thing you've done for love.
You text Joker and your story to 9696.
We'll call someone at 5 o'clock.
Like maybe you went and got braces.
For someone you were in love with?
Yeah, maybe.
Braces on your teeth?
Maybe the person was like, you know what, really?
Are orthodontics optional?
Like can you go to an orthodontist and go, give me some braces?
I feel like you have to, I feel like it's quite a process.
I feel like if you pay for them, you can get them.
Really?
Maybe.
Jeez, dodgy dentist.
I saw a dog with braces once.
Did you?
Really?
Yeah, it was weird.
What's that?
Don't ask me.
It wasn't my dog.
Aesthetics?
Or like, what's the reason?
No, I think it was, I don't know.
I think it was like
a medical thing. Oh, it'd have to be,
yeah. Dogs live long
enough to bother. Like,
oh, he's got shit teeth, but he'll be dead soon.
You know, like. Oh, come on. Some of them
live 20 years. Yeah, try I guess.
Okay. It's a fair while.
Alright, if that's your story, that's fine. Joker,
and your story, 966. Hey, why am I
defending the dog brace lady?
It's not your dog.
It's not my dog.
Yeah.
Anyway.
So far this year, ACC has paid out nearly $2 million to people
with claims involving jandals, high heels, and crocs.
$2 million worth of injuries.
What, just here?
Just here, just to September this year.
That's crazy. What, just in
New Zealand up until September?
Yes. $2 million. $2 million.
Crocs continue to be a very
popular shoe, much to Bree's
disgust. You got a pair yet?
No. I love my Crocs.
Nah. Great gardening
shoe. Great gardening shoe.
I actually started working out in my Crocs too.
I don't know if that was safe, but I did.
Oh God, it's really got you by a vice, doesn't it?
Maybe this is where the ACC claims come from.
The total number of Croc-related accidents this year is already bigger than last year's.
That shows you how much more popular the shoes are getting.
It's going up and up and up and up.
More people in Crocs getting more adventurous in their Crocs.
The number of Jandall-related accidents is going down
and Crocs is going up, which is interesting, isn't it?
My friend Jordan owns a Jandall business
and he hates the Croc company, eh?
Yeah, that's his arch nemesis.
Yeah, his arch nemesis.
What is it?
No, like foot arch. Oh, no, I wasnis. What is it? No, like foot arch.
Oh, no, I wasn't, but damn it, I should have owned that.
So what is the worst shoe out of those three?
Well, these are the three worst shoes in New Zealand.
Crocs came in third.
Crocs are the third worst shoe for injuries,
according to the ACC.
We're talking what, rolled ankles, all that kind of jazz?
Yeah.
Second is high heel and jandals are the worst.
Jandals are the worst?
What kind of injury could you get from a jandal?
You'd have to blow out.
Yeah, but that's not an injury.
No, but normally you can't hurt yourself if you blow out a jandal.
Can you?
Yeah.
Stub your toe.
You can't fall out of a jandal.
Yeah, what is the injury you get with a jandle?
I guess you could, I don't know.
A friend of mine got it.
You don't have enough support, like arch support or something like that?
What, they classify that as an injury?
I don't know.
I would have said high heels.
Yeah, I would have thought high heels too.
But then how many people, the percentage of people wearing high heels in New Zealand
versus the percentage of people wearing j heels in New Zealand versus the percentage of people wearing jandals.
No.
Really?
Well, I mean, 50% of the country is women.
Yes.
And then.
Well, 50% of this workplace is women,
but how many women in this workplace are wearing high heels?
Yeah, but we're.
They're all wearing sambas.
Yeah, but Clint, Ben, who used to produce on this show,
wore tracksuit pants to work.
I don't think this is the best
example. Yeah, but I don't think
track pant Ben is the standard
either. Track pant Ben.
Let me ask the girls. Well, let's poll
the women in this room. How many
pairs of high heels on right now?
Well, have you ever had an accident in a pair
of high heels? I've. No, well, have you ever had an accident in a pair of high heels?
I've had like an almost rolled ankle but never actually gone through with it.
And I avoid them like the plague.
Have you ever had an accident in Crocs or Jandals?
Oh, 100%.
Oh, well, there you go.
There's no grip on those things.
I reckon high heels are on the way out.
I reckon in 30 years high heels won't exist.
Can something be created that's futuristic and not sore?
Yeah.
High heels.
Orthotics.
Honestly.
What?
What do they really bring?
Nothing.
You know?
I wore high heels.
The last time I wore them, my toe went numb and was numb for three days.
But you looked really hot, though.
I looked fantastic, but still not worth it.
She's so tall, though, she kept banging her head on door frames.
It's a real issue.
Wonder if the ACC claims include those things.
Not that tall.
With heels on.
I was pretty tall, yeah.
Those six-inch stilettos.
Yoo-hoo, I'm up here!
Behave!
Did you know you've got a bald patch right on top of your head? Keep it in the circus! Yoo-hoo, I'm up here. Behave. You bet.
Did you know you've got a bald patch right on top of your head?
Keep it in the circus.
I'm looking down on you.
Literally.
Holy, holy hell, it's Bigfoot.
That's a huge bitch.
Bree and Clint.
Tommy and Trank. ZM Bree and Clint, that's Post Malone, Bree and Clint. Tommy and Trank.
ZM, Bree and Clint, that's Post Malone, Feet, Clint.
I am convinced everything is better when it's free.
Food tastes better when it's free.
Beers.
Beers taste way better when they're free.
Yeah.
Like, everything's just better if it's free.
Your parents try to raise you that when you spend your own money on things,
that it's that much sweeter.
That's so wrong.
Nah.
I'd rather it be free.
Yeah.
It's so nice when it's free.
Imagine getting a free car.
When you pay for it, you're like, I don't even like this sandwich that much.
When it's free, you're like, for free?
For free?
For free.
Yeah, I agree.
Had the best morning this morning because at the moment I'm really into the gardening.
I'm just doing a lot of gardening.
I built myself a veggie patch a couple of weekends ago and have been doing all my garden beds,
replanting my lemon trees and doing all the stuff in the garden.
You're peeing on them?
No.
Lemon trees?
No, the neighbours reported us.
I can't do that anymore.
It's good for them. Is it? Yeah. Probably an old wives tale, I'd say. Nah, the neighbours reported us. They can't do that anymore. It's good for them.
Is it?
Yeah.
Probably an old wives' tale, I'd say.
No, there's something in it.
Something in the acidity.
Something in the ammonia.
What?
Are you saying because it's an acidic plant?
No, there's something in it.
There's something in it.
Like citrus-like acidity.
Lemon trees specifically, yeah.
Okay.
I'll take your word for it.
Your word for it?
If it's an issue for you and your female partner,
if you would like me to come around and pee on your lemon tree.
No, we're good, I think.
Okay.
We're good.
No, producer Ella.
No, no thank you.
But if I get stung by a jellyfish,
you best believe I'll be asking you to wear it.
That is an old wives' tale.
It is.
But anyway, so I'm at the point now where I'm looking at this garden bed
that I've made all nice and I was like, oh, jeez, I'd love some mulch.
You know, a bit of mulch.
Have you seen the fancy mulch they do now?
The coloured stuff?
Yeah.
It's quite fancy.
Yeah, it's good for edging.
Yeah.
But I went up to the garden shop.
It's good for the garden too.
The garden shop and I had a look around.
Turns out mulch, quite expensive.
Yeah.
I'm like, all this is is sticks.
Yeah, it's just munched up sticks.
Yeah.
I was like, all it is is sticks anyway, so I've got to be in my bonnet.
I was like, oh, I'm not paying that much.
I probably can get it for cheaper.
And.
I made mulch the other day.
Well, the thing is, I went home, picked my dogs up,
and I was like, I need to go take my dogs for a walk.
I've went for my normal walk around the park that I walk at,
and I've looked over.
Lo and behold, this huge pile of mulch.
In front of it, a sign that says,
free mulch, take what you need.
Can you believe it?
Isn't it funny how the universe provides, eh?
That never happens to me.
No, I know, I know.
That never happens to me.
I would be the person that would have bought six bags of mulch.
The other way around, yeah.
Went for a walk and then be like, oh, crap,
there's free bloody mulch down here.
It's not bagged up in the park.
It's just a big pile and the council wants you to take it.
But I said to you when you got here, that's great.
How are you going to get the mulch to your house?
Yeah.
You got no idea?
Nah.
Are you going to do it bag by bag?
That sounds like a lot of work.
Yeah.
You could take those reusable shopping bags, fill them with mulch, you know,
put them in the back of the car.
I need a trailer.
You need a trailer.
I need a trailer.
This is why you should have supported me
when I wanted to become a ute guy
because I'd happily do a ute load of mulch for you.
You'd be that ute guy that would,
if I asked you,
I just know you would have been like,
no, I don't put stuff like that in my ute.
It's clean.
No, I'd be the other way around
because I'd be desperate to use my ute for something.
I'd be like, you guys need a ute?
Somebody need a ute?
I've got a ute.
I need to show my wife that this was a worthwhile purchase.
I'll do the uting.
I'll pick up the mulch.
Anyway, that's a –
Put it in my uterus.
That problem is neither here nor there.
The point is there's free mulch right near my house.
What park is it?
I'm not telling you.
It's a secret.
I was going to say it could be gone by the end of the day.
Don't tell anyone.
I don't know what park it is.
No, I want everyone to have the free mulch.
I'm not going to say where it is.
But it's for everyone and it's huge.
There's plenty for all.
Oh, I'm happy for you.
God, it's good when you get some free stuff like that.
Stuff that you need.
Tax free.
You know?
God, you should bag some of it up and on sell it.
Oh, that'd be the real way to turn this into a double wound.
I don't know if you can do that, can you?
You could.
One time.
I'd be frowned upon, but you could.
One time, my partner and I, we really needed some bricks.
Oh, yeah?
Couple of houses down, guess what they were giving away?
Bricks.
What'd you need bricks for?
We wanted, there was this little part near the deck where our dog was getting under
and we wanted to put bricks there.
Yeah.
Anyway, free bricks.
You should start asking the universe for something better.
Okay, what should we ask?
Oh man, really need a new plasma TV.
It's all called plasmas.
I really need a big flat screen TV.
I really, really need a jet ski. Yeah, exactly. That big flat screen TV I really really need a jet ski
Yeah exactly
That sort of thing
God would love a jet ski
I'd love to know what the financial lid is for the universe
Like
Because you've asked for mulch
Which is like $13 a bag
Some old bricks
Which are generally free anyway
Where does the universe go?
Come on mate you're dreaming
Yeah where is the line?
Not house
You could be like
Oh I'd love a house.
Yeah, I feel like that's not going to happen.
Yeah.
What's the coolest thing you've ever got for free?
I don't know.
Go on.
You've never got anything for free?
I found two lounge suites on the side of the road once,
but we already had a lounge suite.
But I couldn't let two lounge suites go to waste,
so I brought them back to my flat and then we had three lounge suites. It was awful, but I could not let two lounge suites go to waste so I bought them back to my flat and then we had three lounge suites.
It was awful
but I could not
leave those lounge suites
behind.
Are they the ones
that smell like?
No,
but they're very stainy.
Yeah,
I bet they were stainy.
But it was that age
where if you see a couch
on the side of the road
you're like,
we've got to get that couch.
It's a perfectly good couch.
People all had
better things than me.
We want to know
what's the coolest thing
you got for free.
Yeah.
What did you get for free where you were just like, oh, God, what a day.
I can't believe it.
What a day.
Yeah.
Made your whole week.
You can share it with us on 0800-DARLS-A-DEM.
You can brag about it on the text machine on 9696, and we'll get it on here next.
Someone just texted her and they said I could use their trailer, another thing for free.
Bree and Clint.
God, it was a good day for me this morning.
Very good day.
Was in need of mulch.
Went to have a look at the price of mulch.
Turns out pretty expensive.
Took my dogs for a walk.
Lo and behold, free mulch in the park for the taking.
Have you seen the mulch advice that's come in though?
I'm choosing to ignore that.
Well, this is important for people because you're telling them to get the free mulch.
This will still work.
You just got to, they said,
Bree, don't put fresh mulch around your plants or trees.
Aged mulch is better.
You'll kill your plants.
I work for Treescapes.
We deal with that mulch every day.
So you don't want to hear it, do you?
You don't want to hear it.
Well, I'm just thinking of your plants.
You just had to rain on my free parade, didn't you?
No, no, it's fine.
You've got to bring the mulch home and you've got to leave it out for a bit.
Where am I going to leave it out?
I live in the suburbs.
No, I do appreciate that advice.
You would have got home with your free mulch and then killed your whole garden.
There were so many lovely people offering trailers and their utes to pick up my mulch.
Someone said,
you guys really shouldn't have got rid of the venutes,
should you?
That text really tickled me.
Tamsin's here.
Hi, Tamsin.
Hi, Tamsin.
Hi.
What really...
I have a story, but...
Sorry, go.
Yeah, no, what were you going to say, Tamsin?
I was just going to say that my story's not my story,
it's my friend's story. Okay. It's not relatable to you, Rhi, becauseamsin? I was just going to say that my story's not my story. It's my friend's story.
Okay.
And it's relatable to you, Rhi,
because it's about a trailer.
Right.
Their dad came home one day
and said,
hey guys,
I picked up a free trailer
up the side of the road.
And they were initially
utterly delighted for him.
Oh no.
They were like,
how did you know it was free?
He said,
oh, because it had a sign on it
that said free.
They realised that he'd towed away the free trailer that used to be holding free stuff.
And all the free stuff had gone.
And just tucked themselves to the vessel and taken the trailer home.
Oh.
God, that's amazing.
You can see how that would happen though.
That is awesome.
Take the free stuff off the trailer.
I would have thought that was a free trailer too.
I would have thought all my Christmases would have come
at once as a dad. Holy hell
that might be one of the best
stories I've heard in a long time, Tamsin.
All the free stuff
had gone and so he did the same thing with the
trailer so he just up and left
the free, not free trailer. You'd be devastated
eh? You put your nice trailer of free stuff
out, someone steals the trailer. He's thinking, he's going
God, why is someone giving
away this trailer? A perfectly good
trailer. It's a great Nick.
Bree and Clint. Time to play Google
Down. Now.
Do you feel lucky?
Well, do ya? It's time

The crew in here go head toto-head against each other,
and they're playing for people who have texted through their names.
50 KFC chicken dollars is on the line.
And I have been running some different themes in Google Down
for the past couple of weeks, and I thought,

Okay.
This week's theme, I'm calling it,
How Many Grammys, Hanny?
What?
Okay.
Claudia gets it.
Yeah, I got it.
What's the hanny bit?

How many Grammys, honey?
Okay, here comes number one.
How many Grammys has Rihanna won?
How many?
Nine.
Wow, that was quick from you, Ella.
Oh, I had no idea.
She has indeed won nine. I googled Grammys Shiaria.
You would have been right there for Shakira, wouldn't you?
Nine gives Ella that first point.
Well done.
Question number two.
How many Grammys has Justin Bieber won?
Two.
Two.
Damn it.
Nice, Clint. Two. Damn it.

Two Grammys for Justin Bieber gives Clint that point.
Question number three.
How many Grammys has Charli XCX won?
One. Four? One.

I'm locking in zero.
I'm going to take my time now.
I'm locking in two.
Billboards, one.
Brits, zero.
Grammy nominations, two.
Grammys, zero.
I've got to give it to Clint.
That's fair.
I understand.
Wait, why?
Because I already yelled out an answer before I got the correct one.
I said two, but it was zero.
It was zero.
Cool.
Never mind.
She's been nominated.
She's never won a Grammy.
Damn it.
That could all change with that latest album.
Did you Google it, Claudia, or did you guess?
I guessed, but too late.
And I Googled it and everything happened at once.
It was a mess.
It was a mess.
You missed my Charlie XX joke.
Don't worry.
It was funny.
I liked it.
Okay.
Two to Clint, one to Ella.
Question number four.
How many Grammys has Kendrick Lamar won?
I love Kendrick.
Not 16.
17.
17.
No, I said 17 before she did.
I had to say Claudia did say 17 just before you.
You said 16.
No, I didn't.
Claudia said 16.
I said 17.
I said 16 and as I said 16, Claudia said 16.
I said 17.
I never said 16.
Did you say 16 or 17?
No, I said 17.
I'll take Claudia's word. She's pretty honest. I will pull up the replay if you need it. She is pretty honest. I'll said 16. Claudia, did you say 16 or 17? No, I said 17. I'll take Claudia's word.
She's pretty honest.
I'll pull up the replay if you need it.
She is pretty honest.
I'll take her word for it.
That's fine.
Whoa, calm down.
Oh, don't tell a woman to calm down.
You calm down.
I was defending you.
Oh, sorry.
Okay, everyone, everyone, calm down.
Okay?
Get heated.
We need to be friends after this, guys.
I'm the boss.
Calm down.
What's the score?
Okay, the score is two to Clint, one to Ella, one to Claudia. This is a good game. On the boss. On the boss, calm down. What's the score? Okay, the score is two to
Clint,

Question number five.
This could be
Ella's point to lose.
Alpha.
How many Grammys
has Billie Eilish won?
Nine.
Nine.
Nine.
Well done,
Claude.
As soon as you said
Ella's one to lose,
I'm like,
it's going to be Billy,
and I risked it.
Really?
Yeah, I risked it.
See, that's the difference.
That is expert level.
Expert level stuff.
Wow.
Okay.
Ella was right there too.
So was Clint.
But Claudia got in first.

You're joking!
I had already written myself out of that game.
Wow!
And that's why she's the best.
She's the best.
She's the GOAT.
She's the GOAT.
Even if she lied about that 16-17 thing.
I did not.
Yeah, I think you did.
Replay.
Don't make her bring up the replay
and you'll be embarrassed.
Don't make me replay.
I believe it.
Maddie, you backed Claudia,
which is the easy option,
but we won't hold it against you.
You've scored 50 KFC chicken dollars.
Congratulations.
Awesome. Thank you, guys. Thanks, Claudia. Apologies scored 50 KFC chicken dollars. Congratulations. Awesome.
Thank you, guys.
Thanks, Claudia.
Apologies for them bickering, Maddie.
You know, it's hard to control children.
It's because we care.
Thank you for your support, Maddie.
I really appreciate it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Move on.
What's next?
Nah, well done, Maddie.
We'll get that KFC out to you, mate.
Thank you.
That was a good game.
I love a heated game.
Because it means that you care Like Clint said
It means you care about it
You're passionate
Bree and Clint
I'm having a bit of a
Downsize at the moment
I realise
You know you can get that feeling
When you're like
Oh there's too much crap
In my wardrobe
Or my drawers
I don't wear any of this rubbish
And it's just there
That I have to sift through
Every time I want to wear
One of the three t-shirts
That I like to wear
I feel like I need to Like I'm doing weights when I'm pushing things
to the side of my closet because it's so packed.
I'm like, yeah, just to pull one thing out.
People say that on average the average person wears 20%
of the clothes that they own, which is crazy
because you just keep accumulating them.
My stuff is so packed into my wardrobe that I can't see most of the stuff that I've got.
My partner's biggest gripe about me in our entire relationship,
get rid of some of your clothes, please.
Because you do those sheen hauls, don't you?
I've never bought anything from there.
Thank you very much.
You just get a sack of stuff from sheen delivered.
And in the stitching, it's like, help us.
And you're like, give me more.
You seem to know a lot about it.
Anyway, I figured out this is genius, by the way.
I don't give out many nuggets of wisdom, but I found this genius.
This goes for anybody who's looking to downsize anything.
Could be clothes.
Could be furniture.
Not really kids. Well, I guess. Depends how ruthless you are. Could be clothes, could be furniture. Not really kids.
Well, I guess.
Depends how ruthless you are.
Could go for friends.
Friends.
Oh, yeah, friends.
But I think it's a stretch.
Just possessions.
Okay.
This is how you decide whether you truly like the item
and whether it's worth keeping.
Imagine that that item got poo on it.
Would you clean it off or would you throw the item away
if it had poo on it?
If the answer is you wouldn't bother cleaning poo off it,
you don't really value that item.
You don't really truly value it and you can live without it.
Or maybe I just really don't want to touch poo.
Yeah.
What kind of poo?
I need to know what kind of poo.
Like human dog.
No, wait, no, wait.
Human poo, very different to dog poo.
Okay, human.
And like a stranger's poo?
I don't know.
It's poo.
No, but it makes a big difference.
You pick the item up, you pick up your cardi,
and you go, oh, it's got poo on it.
You don't bother doing forensics. you go, oh, it's got poo on it. You don't bother doing forensics.
You just, oh, it's poo.
It's got poo on it.
And then you have to make a decision.
Does it go in the laundry tub and you scrub the poo out of it and then, oh, yuck, I've got to do more.
Scrub it some more, put it through the wash again until finally you get the smell but not memory of poo out of the item?
Or do you yeet that mother effer into the wheelie bin?
That's how you know.
To make it a more real scenario for me, I'm going to picture it as dog poo.
Okay.
Because human poo, I think I'd throw nearly everything out
because I don't own very expensive things.
No, I know, but isn't that interesting?
Isn't that a great way of...
But I'm not touching a stranger's poo. Yeah, but if it was your grandma's
blouse
that she left you
and it got human poo on it,
you'd clean it off, wouldn't you?
Because you'd truly care about that thing.
Depends how ugly the blouse was.
It's grandma's. She's dead. You're not getting another one.
Yeah, probably.
I really don't know if it was human.
That shirt that you're wearing right now, it got poo on it?
Dog poo?
Yeah, okay, dog poo.
Okay.
Dog poo.
I'd clean it.
Human poo?
No.
Yeah.
It needs to be human poo then because you get dog poo on lots of things.
I don't get dog poo on anything.
Don't you?
No.
Oh, I thought you did.
Your cat's poo in your gym bag. My
dogs don't do that. And you know what I did?
You yeeted it? I actually
washed that gym bag and then I used it again
and then the cat pooed in it again
and then I got rid of the gym bag. And you were like, it's time to go.
And that's how I know that the methodology is right.
Anyway. You said to me,
go and drop your impressive
thing that you said to me the other day
about how many things you got rid of from your
wardrobe. Oh, I
reckon I got rid of 70% of my
clothes. Yeah. But I
did the smart thing. I did the smart thing. I put
them in a pile in the corner of the room
because I am worried that I
overdid it. And in
two weeks time, I'm going to go,
oh Christ, I've got no
clothes to wear. So technically you've gotten rid of oh, Christ, I've got no clothes to wear.
So technically, you've gotten rid of nothing yet.
Technically, I've got rid of nothing, yeah.
I really want to know how much you actually do end up throwing out. But it's been a week, and I haven't delved back into the pile.
Oh, it's been three days.
But I haven't delved back into the pile yet.
Okay.
Well, I'd love an update.
And today I bought some new pants.
Bree and Clint.
What did you get for a push present?
You know, the present you get after you push a 6, 7, 8, 9 pound thing out of you?
Yeah.
A little bit of pushback on the push present from people on the text machine.
We're pro push present.
Definitely people who didn't receive a push present are anti the push present.
Which I get.
A lot of food coming through as suggestions for push presents, which I enjoy.
I love the food ones.
A lot of people saying they got a full sushi platter.
Someone said my push present was sushi and a Biscoff McFlurry.
Gee whiskers.
It was the best meal of my life.
That sounds like the best meal of my life.
I had cheesecake as my push present and it was delicious.
Yum.
So good.
Is that because you can't have soft cheese?
Yeah.
Oh, gosh.
I didn't think about cheesecake being included in that.
Sounds horrible.
There's lots of things that we don't think of as the men.
Nancy's here.
Hi, Nancy.
Hi, Nancy.
Hi.
We're good, Nancy.
Did you get a push present?
I didn't,
but my dad must have been a man before
his time because he gave my mum
presents. Oh, cute,
Nancy. What did your dad give your mum?
My sister was born 67 years
ago, so he really was quite a guy.
Yeah.
He got a typewriter. A typewriter? Oh years ago, so she really was quite a girl. Yeah. She got a typewriter.
She got a typewriter.
Oh, my God.
It was really a long time ago.
It was.
And then three years later, my brother came along,
and he got a Kenwood mixer.
Oh, yeah.
Okay.
Is the Kenwood mixer still around?
It still goes. I bet it does.
That's incredible.
Yeah.
And three years later, I arrived, and she got nothing.
Oh.
He blew the budget on the Kenwood mixer.
He must have.
He was over it by the time you came, Nance.
That's so good.
Thanks, Nancy.
That's awesome.
Demi's caught up.
Hi, Demi.
Hi, Demi.
Hi.
Hi.
What was your push present, Demi? When I came home from the hospital,
my partner made me a gift basket with all my favorite treats,
a bottle of champagne and some wine.
So it was really so special and like a lovely card.
And he wrote me this really long message with like how amazing I was
and like how crazy this birth has been
and like how he viewed me with like such beauty after it.
Demi, where the bloody hell did you find that saint?
Well, he's from the UK.
Oh, he sounds like a bit of heaven.
You know that meme where it goes, somebody cooked here.
That's what this is.
This is the real life version of that.
That guy cooked and left no crumbs.
Hans is here.
Hi, Hans.
Hi, Hans.
Hey, guys.
Yeah, I bought my wife a Porsche Macan SUV for a push present.
Pardon?
C'est quoi?
What did you buy your wife for a push present?
A Porsche Macan SUV.
Holy smokes!
Hans, Hans, Hans, Hans.
You're making the bar way too high, brother.
Hey, Hans, you're not looking to have any more babies
because I'm free.
You'd carry Hans' child for a Porsche Macan.
Yeah, I like Lamborghini Huracans, please.
Are you rich, Hans?
Oh.
Recession killed me.
What did he say?
I think he said no.
He's not rich.
Maybe he's not rich anymore.
You must be rich.
Sure.
We own a business, a beauty salon in Hamilton,
Christina Beauty Studios.
Oh, give him a shout out.
And then, yeah, she's just the best mother, the best everything.
And, like, she works hard.
No shade, Hans.
That's awesome, man.
Well done.
I love him.
Yeah, good man.
He's a sweetheart.
Someone texted in and they said,
is it okay to convince your husband of what to buy you for the push present?
We're naming our daughter Ruby,
and I'm trying to convince him to buy me a Ruby ring.
I'll say on behalf of men, we quite like to be led in the present department.
I think, yeah, give people the ideas.
And as a follow-up to that, someone said,
I forgot that I had sent the link to my husband
for what I wanted for my push present five weeks ago.
I even bought him a thank you slash good husband present to say thank you for the push present that I was expecting.
Jeez, there's a present go around in that relationship, isn't there?
What about this text?
God, if this doesn't boil your blood, I don't know what will.
I had twins and asked for a push present, was told it wasn't a real thing
and I told him my mum got a golden amethyst ring when I was born.
So he said, okay, I'll get you something.
A few weeks later when I asked again, he said he was going to buy me something
but it was too expensive so he got me nothing.
It's just, yeah.
Do better. It's such an easy thing. Just's just, yeah. Do better.
It's such an easy thing.
Just do better.
Yeah.
Come on.
It's not that hard.
You're an adult.
It doesn't have to be a Porsche Macan.
No.
I know Han's got a Porsche Macan.
It doesn't have to be a Porsche Macan.
An amethyst ring.
Like, a nice amethyst ring.
A memento.
Yeah.
Something.
God, do something.
God's sake. Bree and Clint. 5. God, do something. God's sake.
Bree and Clint.

Just working as a fire engineer.
Glad the day's over.
That sounds very smart.
A fire engineer, did you say?
Yeah.
I've heard of electrical.
I've heard of, oh God, here we go, power.
I've heard of a fire engine.
But I've never heard, I mean,
are you one of the planeteers, the fire engineer?
What does a fire engineer do?
Essentially just model fires and buildings
and make sure that people can actually get out of them.
Wow.
Oh, shit, that's an important job.
People have jobs that we have no idea about.
It's crazy to learn every day.
You've got a full grown-up job.
Spencer?
Spencer, give us your date of birth, mate.
Let's do your birthday banger.
26 of the 5th, 1998.
All right, that means you were 16, Spencer, in 2014.
And here's your birthday banger.
Would have been so good if it was Firestarter,
but this is just as good too.
Are you into it, Spencer?
Yeah, I rate it.
Yeah.
Huge banger.
Sigmar.
Nobody to love.
Have you heard their brother band, Sagma?
Nah, what do they sing?
Oh, they're more like ballroom kind of music.
Crazy. A bit different.room kind of music. Crazy.
A bit different.
Never heard of them, yeah, yeah.
Not so much dance, more ballroom.
I'm voting for Sigma.
I mean Sigma.
I know if I vote for Beyonce, Claudia won't vote for it.
No.
But I'm voting for Beyonce anyway.
Let's throw the cat amongst the pigeons and give it to Ella.
Oh, look, she's not even ready.
Ella, what's the winner of Birthday Banger today?
Justin Bieber, Sigma or Beyonce?
Got to go for some ballroom Sigma.
Let's go, baby!
Spencer, you're the winner of Birthday Banger.
Congratulations.
Awesome.
Well done, Spence.
Sorry for thinking you were a fire engine.
Fire engineer, eh?
Fire engineer.
Yeah, fire engineer.
Brian Clint from 2014.
This song's 10 years old.
You're on ZM.
Brian Clint.
Sigma on ZM.
Brie and Clint, the winner of Birthday Banger today.
For Spencer, the song was number one in 2014, which is 10 years ago.
What was, what other songs?
I feel like they had a few other hits.
Nah, I've been looking.
That was the only one.
Yeah.
They're a bit of a wonder.
They tried a few other ones.
Oh, they had a song with Labyrinth.
Was that cool?
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, this was a banger.
Yeah, yeah.
Sorry, I take it back.
Oh, what happened to Labyrinth?
Yeah.
Got lost.
Yeah.
Labyrinth is in a band with Sia and Diplo now.
What?
They call themselves LSD.
Labyrinth, Sia, Diplo.
How is that the first time I've heard of them?
They're a pretty trippy band.
Wow.
Yeah.
No wonder they're called LSD.
Totally, it fits.
That's cool.
My high school reunion is going down, not this weekend, but next weekend.
Okay.
We were talking about it before the show, and I said, yeah, it's my 20-year high school reunion.
And Ella goes, no, I think you mean your 10-year.
And you go, no, no.
No, no.
I went to my 10-year.
This is my 20.
This is the John Paul College Rotorua class of 04 school reunion.
Holy smokes.
One word.
Yeah.
Old.
Old.
Yeah, old.
Just a little.
Yeah.
20.
It's a real sort of line in the sand as far as feeling old too.
How does it feel?
How does it feel?
Old.
I can't believe schools actually do reunions.
They don't.
So the students organise it.
So there's, because a lot of us are still,
because Rotorua is a small place
and our graduating class was pretty small,
there's a lot of people who are still in contact with each other.
So it's been organised.
So does everyone get invited or just?
Everyone gets invited.
Everybody that we can find on Facebook.
Everybody that we still have a contact for.
So you're a part of the committee, are you?
I have actually found myself as part of the organising committee.
Really?
So I am sending out messages to people going,
hey, this thing is happening, it would be great to see you.
And I messaged one of my oldest friends who I never see anymore,
but we are still tight.
Like if I saw her tomorrow, we would just pick up where we left off,
one of those friends.
And I messaged her and I said,
hey, are you coming to this reunion?
Yeah.
And she replied in capital letters,
F no.
She said, these are her words,
my good, good friend, she said,
there are some people that I'd like to see,
but in my head, school reunions are for people who peaked in high school
or for people who think that they are peaking now
and want to share it with other people.
And both of those types of people are painful.
Oh, I mean.
I replied, which one of those am I?
Both.
You will.
I'm just kidding. I don't know. But she's got? Both. You will. I'm just kidding.
I don't know.
But she's got a point.
She does.
She's got a bit of a point because it is a little bit of a look at me,
look at me kind of thing.
But it shouldn't be.
The idea should be.
It shouldn't be, but it is.
There's definitely a bit.
You know?
There'll be a bit of that.
Everyone will feel like they have to put their best foot forward
or appear like a success sort of thing.
But actually the majority of people going to these things
just want to catch up with people.
Oh, BS.
No, you do.
And you want to see if the hot people are still hot.
But yeah, mostly you just want to catch up.
So you reckon if you were down on your luck,
you weren't in a good place in your life, you know,
nothing was really going for you, you'd be like,
oh, shit, keen to go to that.
No, I don't. Yeah. No, I don't. Yeah.
No, I don't. But I understand that.
I do understand that.
But this person is not that. They're just a normal person living their life and she's like, I wouldn't
be caught dead. I wouldn't be caught dead at
a high school reunion. She feels very
strongly about it. Yeah, I always
wonder too if you didn't enjoy high school
as much, how keen you would be
to go to the reunion. Of course you wouldn't be keen.
It's probably a direct reflection of how much you enjoyed school.
Like if you got bullied in high school,
like the last thing you'd want to go to is a reunion
where all those bullies were going to be.
Yeah.
You know?
Yeah.
And then some prick off the radio sends you a Facebook message and is like,
Hey, you coming to the reunion?
Hey, I'm coming down to Rotorua for the big reunion.
I'm organising it.
Anyway, if any of the...
All your bullies will be there.
If any of the John Paul College class of 2004
are listening right now,
it's happening not this weekend, but next weekend,
I think that's when it's happening.
I love that you're now using the radio
for your committee duties.
No one's replying to my messages.
Yeah, because people have stuff on.
Oh, it's not this weekend.
It's not next weekend.
It's the weekend after.
It's the 19th of October.
It's in Rotorua.
And screw it.
We might as well go whole hog.
It's at the Rotorua Club.
Okay?
This party's going to be a rager.
Yeah.
I think, yeah.
I'm going to be there either way.
So suck on that.
Charlie XCX and Apple, huge rumours today that she's about to headline Laneway Festival.
I know.
Huge rumours.
If you want to see them, you can find them on the ZM Online Instagram account.
But it's basically been confirmed.
There's a billboard that went up in Auckland that just says Laneway
and it's in the brat font.
Is that real?
It's green.
Yeah, the billboard is real.
No.
And also the poster for Laneway where it says Laneway 25.
The 25 for 2025 is inside an apple as well.
Which, I mean, that's another little Easter egg, isn't it?
You don't lead people on if that's what it's going to be.
I don't think so.
That's the last thing you want to do.
Yeah.
Because you don't want to disappoint people.
You don't want your lineup to be disappointing.
The lineup comes out and then you're disappointed. Unless that's not what they were want to do. Yeah. Because you don't want to disappoint people. You don't want your line-up to be disappointing. The line-up comes out and then you're
disappointed. Unless that's not
what they were trying to do. And now we're talking
about it and they're like, please guys, we don't have Charlie XCX.
We don't want to disappoint anybody, but
we can't. Please. They're frantically
in the background. Can we get Charlie XCX?
What about Iconopop?
We're off to that.
Get one of them! We're off to the new Lady Gaga
Joker movie now
And I'm really excited to hear her do the Kath and Kim theme song
Yeah me too
I can't wait for it
What's it called that song?
It was by Shirley Bassey
Always a Joker
The original song I think
Always a Joker
Or maybe just Joker
Let me have a look
The Joker
The Joker
The Joker is what it's called.
I thought we might have it, but anyway.
It's not in there.
We had a bit of it.
We did load it, the Gaga version, the other day.
Because it is the theme song to Kath and Kim.
And people were like losing their mind over it.
I found it.
I found it.
I found the new Gaga song for the Joker movie.
Here it is.
There's always a Joker in the pack.
There's always a lonely clown.
And there is a jester.
She sounds great.
Doesn't she?
As foolish as he can be.
It's different.
It's unusual.
It's nice.
It's nice.
It's different.
It's unusual.
We'll tell you about the movie tomorrow.
You can win some tickets if you text Joker and your crazy and love story to 9696.
Don't be stupid, Kim.
You're not a bird.
I'm not a bird.
Yeah, we're going business class.
Qantas.
I did the wrong joke.
Or eat like a bird.
A big bird.
What kind of bird eats four packets of Pop-Tarts for breakfast?
See you tomorrow.
