ZM's Brian Clint In the history of professional radio. Their names Bree and Clint. Hello everybody and welcome to the Bree and Clint show. Hello Bree.

Hello Clint. I just went to get a coffee before. No, I'm sorry. All I talk about now is Olympics. So unless it's Olympics. I went to get an Olympic coffee before. Great. Yes, I'm interested.

And there was a lady there with a dog. And she said, excuse me, sorry. I wasn't looking at her or talking to her. And she goes, excuse me, sorry. Do you like dogs? And I said, yeah, I love dogs. Yeah. She goes, oh, thank goodness.

Can you touch my dog, please? Why? She had this little Jack Russell. I was like, yeah. She goes, thank you. He would love it. He just loves to be touched. He's a rescue dog and I'm just trying to get him touched by as many people as possible.

So I touched her dog. It's funny because I've nicknamed something else. It's a rescue. It is a rescue. It also loves to be touched. It's going to be put down. No one wanted it. Anyway, I touched it.

Yeah, because it was one of those Chinese crystal bulldogs. Real violent, real vicious. No, they're pretty placid. Yeah, pretty chill. We're still talking about dogs? Yeah. That's so bizarre. I know. But I do get it dogs? Yeah. That's so bizarre. I know.

But I do get it. You want to socialise your animal. I said, what's the dog's name? And she goes, my daughter named her Pippi, but I call her Coco. Pippi Coco. Okay. Those have nothing to do with each other, but this is great. Maybe first and middle name.

Do you know what my star sign is? I don't know star signs. I know when your birthday is. Take a guess. I'm an Aquarius and you're almost exactly one month before me, so you're the one before Aquarius. Are you a Capricorn? Incorrect.

My star sign is Olympics. Oh. Because that is my whole personality right now. Are you Capricorn though? I am. You got it right. Nice work. Wow.

But for right now, it's Olympics. That is my star sign because I just live and breathe it. And I noticed something a bit funny yesterday watching the Olympics. It was during the men's coxless pair event, which is the rowing. Which is one of the funniest names for an event at the Olympics. It's right up there with the clean and jerk. It is. It's way up there with the clean and jerk. It is. It's way up there.

The cocks being usually the person that sits in, you know, if there's a big rowing team they'll sit and control the rudder and tell the people what to do. And the stroke speed. Yeah. Yeah. But this is just two men in the boat and there's this particular pair from

the German team that has people talking. Okay. And it's not because of their performance. I think they did okay. It was based on one of the rowers' names. Right. Because obviously when you're watching the Olympics,

they put their names up on the screen, like this is who's rowing, this is their time, yada, yada, yada. Anyway, for this particular event in Pair, they were just using the first initial and the last name, I think, to fit it on the screen. Yeah. And when the Germans came up on the screen, one of them, his name, last name was Christ.

Yep. First initial, J. Oh, my God, he's, last name was Christ. Yep. First initial, J. Oh, my God, he's back. J. Christ. He's back. J. Christ is currently at the Olympics rowing for Germany. How's he doing? Look, I mean, considering he can walk on water, I thought he would have done better.

True. You know? True. I just think that's a bit of an unfair advantage. Yeah. If they're not careful though, he'll turn that whole river into wine. Well, that's the sport he was set to compete in, turning

water into wine, but that got taken out this Olympics and replaced with skateboarding. Yeah, true. You know? I reckon Jesus would be good at breakdancing. Yeah. Yeah, not bad. Anyway, people- I don't know why I think that.

I just think he'd nail it. Yeah, it'd be pretty good. People think it's hilarious. Jane Christ. His real name, his full name is Julius Christ. Sure. Which I feel like the parents are playing with a bit of fire there. Yeah.

Like Julius and Jesus. You know what you're doing. Quite similar. Especially if your last name is Christ. And you know that his first initial is going to be J. It's going to be J. Christ. Middle name to the effing. Yeah.

You know? So it always makes me laugh I feel bad for people that You know have Initials Or a last name that kind of don't go together And it hasn't been thought about It wasn't meant to be funny but Mine's not funny but it is something

My initials are CPR As in the thing you perform on somebody When they're not breathing We always get amazing ones Of these I want to put it out there to you guys You know what I'm talking about when they're not breathing. Yep. Yeah. We always get amazing ones of these. I want to put it out there to you guys. You know what I'm talking about. Do you know someone, maybe it's you,

that has an unfortunate name initial pairing? Yeah. And it can be just your initials or it can be like J. Christ. It can be like that. Yeah, or it could be the thing that your initials spell when you run them together. Yes. Yeah. Anything like that. Yeah, or it could be the thing that your initials spell when you run them together. Yes. Yeah.

Anything like that, you know, you've been dying to tell a radio station about it. And we'd love to hear from you this afternoon. 0800 dials at M or you can text us on 9696. Is your name Ellen Nathan? Careful. Eugene? No. Anthony Lejoie. Nathan careful Eugene no

Anthony Lejoie you know oh yeah I know Anthony yeah he's a great guy Alan actually

he goes by Alan sorry Alan yeah oh $100,000 do you have funny initials that's what we want to know about pretty much his lost frequencies

on set in Bree and Clint they're flooding in. There's so many. And look, it's not your fault. No, it's not your fault. You didn't name yourself. It's your parents' fault.

We're asking if you've got funny initials. There's a J. Christ competing at the Paris Olympics. Yes. So what have you got? In the coxless pairs. In the coxless pairs. J. Christ is in the coxless pairs. Just makes it even better.

Some of them are rude. Some of them are just funny, like this one. My friend's mother-in-law, her initials arears. J. Christ is in the Coxless pears. Just makes it even better. Some of them are rude. Some of them are just funny, like this one. My friend's mother-in-law, her initials are B-East. Beast. Beast. I like it. Beast. Someone else texted and said, my initials are Pee-Pee.

I hate it every time it gets brought up. Pee-Pee. Pee-Pee. Someone else said, my sister's initials would have been STD if she stayed with her ex. Oh. Then it would have been double STD. Double STD, yeah. She would have given him...

My dad's name is Peter James Smith, so he sometimes gets called Pajamas, PJs. That's not bad. Yeah. Alexa is here. Hi, Alexa. Hi, Alexa. Hi. Tell us, is here. Hi, Alexa. Hi, Alexa. Hi. Tell us, is it you that has the unfortunate initials or name or someone you know?

Me. What is it? Give it to us, Alexa. ASAP. ASAP? Yeah. I don't mind it. It's quite a good one.

Yeah. Your parents must have known that it was going to spell out ASAP because they would have had to give you two middle names to make it ASAP, Alexa. Yeah, they only noticed after they signed the birth certificate. That's what they tell you, Alexa. What's more annoying, though, having that or being named after a smart speaker, you know?

Or the speaker was named after Alexa. We may never know. Someone texts through and said, I... Come on, I don't know if this is real. These are back-to-back texts from different people. Okay. So the first one says, I knew a teacher whose initials were P, last name Ennis. No, that's not real. And then the next text says, I had a high school teacher called Mr. P, last name Stain.

P Stain. See, I believe that one. He could have been South African, like S-T-E-Y-N. Mr. P Stain. P Stain. Oh, no, that's terrible. My brother is BJ King. That's pretty good.

His mates think it's the best thing ever. I bet they do. BJ King. This might be them. Someone else texted through and said, my brother's initials are BJS. BJS. BJs.

Yeah. Someone said, I knew someone whose initials were A, S, S. S. S. Jackie's here. I know 800 dials at M. Hi, Jackie. Hi,S. Jackie's here. I know 800 dials at M. Hi, Jackie. Hi, Jackie.

Hey. Hey. Tell us, Jackie, is it your name that's a little bit funny? No, it's my daughter's. Oh, what did you do? And I didn't think it through. Like, her first name's Pippa, and her surname starts with N-A-S. And the problem is at primary school,

they put the first initial of your first name and your last three. So the lady was calling out and said, penis, who is pulling up this information in the middle of a primary school? Penis. Oh, no. Can I get a penis? Is penis here? You did that. That's her nickname now.

Yeah, you did that. Look at Jackie. She thinks it's hilarious. Oh, she does too now. Oh, good. The whole cast just absolutely was in hysterics. Look at Jackie. She thinks it's hilarious. Oh, she does too now. Oh, good. The whole cast just absolutely was in hysterics. But yeah, great for Instagram. You're Jackie.

You're Jane-ass. Can you imagine if Jackie, imagine Jackie, if you were just like, God, that was so worth the joke? Like just all these years waiting for that moment? Jackie, you don't have a son called Ellen or starting with an A, do you? Well, I know we said that too. That was lucky. No, I've got a T.

T-NAS. That's all good. Yeah, I know what the A is. A. Yeah, I know what the A is. A-NAS. Yeah, no, I know. You didn't have to say it.

Jackie knew. We all knew. Exactly. Exactly. Mate, that's so. Jackie knew. We all knew. Exactly. Mate, that's so good, Jackie. Thanks for calling. My mum's name is Victoria Alexandra Gully. Wait, what's that? Her initials.

Victoria Alexandra Gully. Oh, no. No, no, no. Someone else said, my friend's mother-in-law's initials are B. Oh, you read that one. Sorry, I lost my place. Let's talk to Brad.

Hi, Brad. Hi. You've got a teacher? You've got a teacher with funny initials? Yeah. So he was one of the best teachers you can imagine sort of thing. But unfortunately, his name was Phil McCracken. No, it wasn't. Come on, Brad.

Brad, we weren't bored yesterday. No, Brad. If you're listening from Glenfield College, you'll know what I'm talking about. Brad, Brad, you get Phil McCracken, if that is his real name, to call this show and tell us. No, Brad, you wait there. We're going to conference you with Glenfield College head office right now.

Yes. And you, Brad, are going to ask their head office if you can talk to Phil McCracken. Are you willing to do that, Brad? Are you willing to do that? I'm pretty old now, but I might still be there. You can film McCracken may have passed. Don't worry, you're not the first person not to believe me.

We thought our minds were blown to high school when we found out. Who's your favourite person on this planet? Who's my favourite person on this planet? Well, I've got to say my wife. Okay, well, swear on your wife that that is a true story. That is a true story. Oh, then it's brilliant. Anyone out there that's from Glenfield College about, what, 18 years ago?

9696, Glenfield College alumni, do you know the teacher, Phil McCracken? Yeah, we'll see if we get any feedback. Why wouldn't you go by Philip? If you were, why wouldn't you go by... No one knew his name was Phil until like 80 years in high school, and yeah, he would rather no one found that out, obviously. Philip McCracken.

Philip McCracken. Philip McCracken's not any better, is it? I literally jumped in the car hearing your guys' story, and I was like, oh, my God, you've got to call them. It is the perfect time to call, Brad, and we appreciate it. Thank you very much, Brad. We may have found the actual, real Phil McCracken. Yeah.

Now we've just got to find Mark Hunt. Nah, they exist. Yeah, they do exist. Yeah, they exist. That's the do exist. Yeah, they exist. Of the UFC. Yeah. Bree and Clint. Have you seen this story about the multi-millionaire in Dunedin

who wants to help you buy a house? No, me. Well, not you. He can help me if he wants. Nah, not you because you've already got one. But people in Dunedin who don't have a house. I've got a giant mortgage. Yeah, too late.

He wants to help you get a house and get a mortgage, essentially. What's in it for him? Oh, I'll tell you. Okay? So his name is Roger Futrell. Futrell? Roger Futrell from Dunedin. He's putting up $25 million of his own money. How much?

$25 million. He is going to give 250 first homebuyers in Dunedin a deposit of $100,000 towards their first house. I need to know why. He is building the houses. So he's a property developer. And so the idea is he wants to, from what I can take from it,

I've never heard of the guy before, and you always are a bit suspicious of these things, naturally. I think you need to be, sceptical. But by the sounds of it, the houses that he is building are targeted towards first home buyers. They're meant to be like affordable houses. And to help people buy those houses, he's going to put up $25 million and 250 couples, families, people will be able to use that

to get a house in Dunedin. I'm going to give you the option. Would you like to take the optimistic route or the pessimistic route? I will choose to be optimistic in this one. Oh, but that's boring. Do you want to hear the catches? Yeah.

So this is real, by the way, if you're listening and you're in Dunedin or you want to move to Dunedin to get your first home, this is real. Is the catch that they up the price of all the houses and then so that just means he actually doesn't give away any money? I thought that too. But no, it's not. Because he said initially he thought of, because he's going to build these houses anyway,

he thought of decreasing the price of the houses by $100,000 to make them that much cheaper. But he said that would mean that developers or investors would just gobble them all up, people who can already afford houses. So the idea is you go to him and there's like a vetting process. You have to go through a selection process to qualify for it.

You have to prove that you have been trying to save for your own deposit, that you have been going for it. And you have to prove that you can afford the mortgage on the house as well, but you just can't because everything's so expensive at the moment. You can't save up the deposit. That's the bit that's holding you back. And then he'll give you the money, possibly, if you're one of the 250 people. And then when you buy the house, you're not allowed to sell it for three years, the house.

You have to keep it. And if you decide to sell it within three years, you have to sell it back to him for the price that you bought it for, and you have to give the $100,000 back. Yeah. But the idea is that so you don't get it and then instantly sell it to make a free $100,000. Yeah. The idea is that you hold on to the house and you become a homeowner. This all sounds great.

Yeah. I want to know what's in it for him. Well, he's going to sell 250 houses. There'll still be profit in there somewhere. Yeah. It's not a charity. Well, is it a charity? I don't know.

He's still going to sell a lot of houses. I guess he's creating a market for the houses that he's building. It's obviously great marketing. Yeah, great marketing. We're talking about it. Great marketing for him and his new housing estate to sell, hopefully, because, I mean, he wants to move the houses fast. Yeah.

You know, sell them fast. Yeah. So he's obviously done the numbers where he's been like, if I can, you know, this amount of money, if I put this amount of money into it, I'll be able to recruit my money from... Yeah. Yeah.

He'll definitely make the money. Surely in their plan, he makes the money back. Oh, 100%. That's how these things work. Yeah, for sure. But still. Oh, yeah, it's a good... You'd go for it, wouldn't you?

I just need... Anything to get on the ladder. Anything to get started. Oh, for sure. I just needed to know what was in it for him before. You know, you need to know these things in case it's a trap. 100%. I mean, we're not eligible, but Ella is. Our producer Ella. Do you want to move to Dunedin? Would you be willing to move to Dunedin if it meant that you could get your house deposit?

No offence, but I'd never want to go to Dunedin. You could live out near the airport. Is that rude? go to Dunedin. You can live out near the airport. Is that rude? Sad to Dunedin. I just had two bad experiences there. I had to sleep on a couch. It was not fun. Yeah, but that wasn't Dunedin's fault, was it?

Also, you wouldn't have to sleep on a couch if it was your own house. Yeah. Have your own place. Plus the fun bit about living... And you know who would love that? Who? Your mum. What?

Because you'd move out of her place eventually. Right through. She would be happy. Ella's mum's like, I'll give you What? Because you'd move out of her place eventually. Right through. She would be happy. Ella's mum's like, I'll give you $100,000 to move out of my house. Right now. I'm not a pest. I'm good.

Bree and Clint from iHeartRadio. This is the latest live from LA with Dean McCarthy. Dean, there is Lady Gaga news. What's going down? Oh, I'm gagged. You know, you can't say gag is Lady Gaga news. What's going down? Oh, I'm gagged. You know, you can't say gag without Lady Gaga. You're gag-gagged. Let me tell you, we were gag-gagged.

We were gagged. You know, obviously, everyone is tuning into Paris this week for the Olympic Games. But she had her own little Olympic Games. She actually teased snippets of two new songs on the street. Now, she hopped. Let me set the scene. She hops out the top of, like, one of those, like on the street. Now, she hopped, let me set the stage. She hopped out the top of like a,

one of those like sprinter vans, like a van with like a sunroof. She hopped out the top and everyone's losing it because Lady Gaga just hopped out the top

of this car, right? And she sings, have a listen to this. I think it was snippets of two new unreleased, never heard before songs. I love it. God, it's really rock music, isn't it?

It sounds super different for her. Was that good? Did we like that? I can't really tell. All I could tell is it sounds completely different to, you know, her pop kind of era or her country era. So does she have a new album coming out, Dean? Is that what we can take from this?

Yeah. Gaga, 7 Boy. The only thing I could really make out from that were the gays. You can hear the gays just screaming. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They're like, she could have literally sung Happy Birthday

and the gays are like, yes, queen, yes! Like, she just has that way. Dean, there's also news out that she got engaged to her long-time partner,

Michael Polanski. Yes, she did. She's very kind of like, very, I don't want to say down, no, secretive and quiet and reserved about her relationships

these days. You know, remember when she dated that guy from that TV show, The Hottie, from the US music video, Taylor or something? After that,

that was kind of public. After that, she went very private with her relationship. Yeah, apparently she's engaged and yeah, that's good on her. We love that.

Good for Gaga. That's exciting. New Lady Gaga music is always exciting. She always reinvents the wheel. So that'll be great. I love it. Can't wait. This latest from Los Angeles

with our Hollywood correspondent, Dean McCarthy. Bree and Clint. I was reading this Reddit post today where this person was asking, am I the a-hole in this situation for leaving my friend behind at the airport? So they're travelling as a travelling not as a couple.

They're two friends. Gotcha. Going on a holiday together. They said they were transferring flights. They had 40 minutes to get to their connecting flight. Okay. Which is quite stressful. Quite stressful.

And they had to go through like an immigration checkpoint in that time as well. Oh, God. Hustle. Yeah. Hustle. You've got to move. Move your butt. Their friend was behind them when they went into the immigration checkpoint.

And you know how it kind of splits you up and you go to one, you might go to one x-ray machine, someone will go through a different x-ray machine. Yeah. They split up. Their friend took a different path. Rather than waiting for their friend on the other side of the checkpoint, they decided to just go straight to the gate and meet their friend there.

They're like, cool, I haven't seen them come out yet. I've got through immigration faster than you. We'll just meet at the gate. Push on. But did they talk about that? No. Okay, so that wasn't discussed. No.

Okay. That's just what they decided. But you're both going to the same place. Yeah, but. You're both going to the same end goal. Yeah, but it wasn't discussed. No, it wasn't discussed. So then what happens if I'm the other friend, right,

and I eventually, you know, maybe it takes me an extra five minutes to get through customs. You've got something in your bag. I go on the, I get out, I come through the checkpoint and then I go, okay, sweet, my other friend's not here, I'm just going to wait here for them. Yeah, fair point, but they didn't. So they went to

the gate. They said... But do you know what I mean? Because I don't know where that person's gone. The person who's asking am I the a-hole has said, he's a grown man and I shouldn't be forced to stay right next to him at all times so he doesn't go the wrong way if left alone for a minute yeah that's fine if you discuss that before you go through customs they and you're like hey I'm just going to meet you at the gate

I think they travel together a bit they added that often they will separate when they're traveling he said during our vacations, I often end up going ahead of him and he will quite regularly call or text me to say that he's lost. So it sounds like you have a dawdler and you have a power walker in the friendship and one is always lagging behind

and maybe they're sick of waiting. Maybe they're sick of... I wouldn't do that to a friend. Anyway, they went to the gate, waited at the gate, friend didn't show up, so they got on the flight and went without them. And their friend missed the connecting flight. Is there any whole thing to do?

Yes, only because you didn't... If you had have discussed beforehand, hey, we're pushed for time. Yes, only because you didn't, if you had have discussed beforehand, hey, we're pushed for time, whatever happens, just meet at the gate and then, you know, that's fine. So you discuss that. What I'm trying, like if that was me and I've come out of that checkpoint and we've gone into the checkpoint and I'm like, okay, I'll just wait here because they were going through the same checkpoint,

then I've lost that time, which may mean that I missed the flight. If something is happening to the friend that means they are going to miss the flight, should you, and you're still in touch with them, you haven't left them behind, should you miss the flight too? If they're going to miss the flight,

should you miss the flight with your friend and then you both organise? What do you think? It's much cheaper for one friend to organise a replacement flight than two friends to organise a replacement flight. If it was me and I was travelling with a good friend, like in a different country, I would not leave them. Oh, I forgot the foreign country elements.

Especially as a woman. Like, I'm not leaving my friend. This is not two women, by the way. This is two men. I'm just thinking about it from my perspective. I know, I know. You don't want to leave your friend in a country where they don't speak the language.

Absolutely not. They've been detained by foreign police. That's my friend. I'm not leaving them. And I hope that my friend would do the same for me. If your friend does get detained, they don't let you see them, though. Yeah, but that's okay.

You'd want your friend to know that you were outside the holding cell when they did come out. They have support there for them. That can be everything. Your friend got on the flight. They're having a great time in Ibiza. The question is, is this person the a-hole? Am I the a-hole?

I feel like. You might be. I was getting on the flight. I was like, is this person the a-hole? Am I the a-hole? I feel like. You might be. Because I was getting on the flight. I was like, cool, man. See you there. Nah, that's bad friend. I like to think. If you had, like I said, if you had discussed it before,

we'll meet at the gate. Yeah. Then you're all good. Yeah. But if you haven't and then you're like, oh, well, they're taking longer. They could miss the flight. I'm just going to go.

This is why travel, mate, compatibility is important. This is why you've got to have the hard conversations about how you travel and who you travel with because if you operate completely differently, it's going to cause issues, right? I also think like yin and yang on a trip is good. Right. Because you know what I mean? Yeah.

But as long as you know who's who. Yeah, you allow for the other person. Exactly. Then it can work. You let them yin while you yang. Exactly. You know? Everyone just needs to be on the same page.

Okay, so what's our outcome? Is this person an arsehole? We've decided. Yes, and also maybe Clint. Remember when we almost left Ella behind that time? That's right. It was her fault, though. Bree and Clint.

Olympics is on. A lot of the good stuff because of the time zones is on at night or early in the morning, isn't it? Yeah, it happens through the night. Which means bed could be a good place to watch the Olympics. I have been doing a lot of Olympic watching in bed. Yeah. And then I saw this thing today.

According to science, you've got to stop watching TV in bed. Oh, here we go. They're trying to take another one of the joys out of life. Next they'll say alcohol's bad for us. No. No, that wouldn't happen. one of the joys out of life. Next they'll say alcohol's bad for us. No. No, that wouldn't happen. Not on the last day of dry July or second to last day of dry July.

A sleep psychologist has written this piece for Stuff Today that I saw and I thought of you straight away, Bree, because you're a TV and beard most nights person. Every night. Every night. Every night. They said you've got to stop. Nah. They believe that the bed should be reserved for two things

and two things only, sleep and indoor gardening, followed by sleep usually. Those two things only. Not TV, not eating, not... Who are these researchers? My mum and dad? It's a sleep psychologist. Yeah, who is this sleep psychologist?

They said that by doing other things, your brain associates your bed with awakeness and alertness. When your brain thinks of bed, it should only think about drowsiness and sleepiness, not staying awake. What if I put on something real boring? Watching adrenaline-filled sports or action-packed TV shows. They said that's the wrong vibes.

It's the wrong vibes for bed. Okay, well, can't I just be healthy in other ways? I'm just going to give you the information and you can do what you want with it. Okay. This sleep expert said late night light conveys a false sunlight signal to your biological clock and it suppresses the body's production of melatonin.

I guess you could just take some melatonin, couldn't you? I do, every night. It's fine. Well, maybe you need to because of all the artificial light you're getting late in the evening. Yeah, so I'm good to go. I love this idea that you're not just going to get that artificial light from the lounge though. You're going to watch TV there and then move to the bedroom and it's going to

make a difference. That is a weird... That doesn't make all that much sense. Here's the solution for you if you want to keep watching TV in bed. Because I know you do, right? Yes. You love TV in bed. Yeah. It's the best. Why wouldn't I want to be as comfortable as I can whilst watching TV?

They said if you must watch TV in bed, you should watch TV on the opposite side to the one you sleep on. And then when it's sleep time or when you get drowsy, that's when you transfer to your side. Okay. So that you associate your partner's side of the bed with awakeness and your side with sleepiness. But that's something I can get on board with.

Could you do that? Yeah. Would your partner want to do that? Maybe. You'd have to roll them onto their side if they fell asleep watching TV. Yeah, that's true. That does make it hard, doesn't it? Or I just fall asleep on the other side of the bed.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like camping. This is the problem with reading things. It just sucks the other side of the bed. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's like camping. This is the problem with reading things. It just sucks the fun out of everything you enjoy. That's what I said. Yeah. I'm so sick of these scientists and these researchers just coming out with all the good things and saying it's bad for us.

Yeah, it's actually sorry for sharing that. What a buzzkill on my part. What a buzzkill. When are they going to come out and say, oh, guys, we've actually found that running and exercise, real bad for you. Real bad for you. Bad for your mental health. Horrible. Bad for your physical health. Yep.

You know what is better for you? Just doing nothing. Chocolate. Alcohol. Watching TV in bed. Sitting on your ass. Yeah. Yeah. You're never going to believe this, guys. Smoking's back. New research out today.

That'll get some clicks. Who's going to write that story? Let's get classical. Cool. Oui, oui. Oui, oui. The fresh version. Oh, have you stumbled onto the theme, perhaps?

Oh, I hope so. I reckon it's Olympic themed. This is the game where Claudia has converted pop songs to classical format and it's our job with no lyrics or semblance of beat or anything to figure out what that song is. It's Bree and I versus our musical savant, Young Ella. Claudia's in charge. Bonjour. She's just got back from the Paris of America, Texas,

and she's going to run the game. What's our theme today, Claude? As we do every week, there is no theme. Oh, yeah, that's right. These are just all pop songs that we play on ZM, so you'll know all of them. Yeah, and I've turned them classical, and it's your job to guess what they are.

Can I suggest that one week we do, like, old pop songs? Oh, yeah, good idea, Bree. I won't win. Good idea. No. To play into... 90s and 2000s specifically. Do you want, like, really alternative ones?

Nah, just, you know, ones that would have been big around you know when Clint and I were in our 20s. Like outcasts. Black Eyed Peas? Yep. Yep. Yep.

Okay. Yep, I'll note that down. Even Britney. Britney's good. Oh yeah? Yeah. Okay. Okay, anyway let's focus

on what we've got. Okay, so Brie and Clint you're working as a team against Ella. Buzz in with your name if you think you know the artist and the name of the song.

The first team to two points will take home the win. Gotcha. Ready? Ready. Good luck. Here's your first one. Ella.

Ella. Ella. Hot to go, Chapel Ronan. You got it. Are you freaking serious? Yeah, I wasn't sure. I did not hear that. Did you hear that at all? Not at all.

Let's tune back in. Oh, okay. Yeah, I had nothing. Unfair. Bree and I only heard that song yesterday for the first time. But you should know every word by now. You guys love it. I know how to spell hot to go.

Very good. All right, one to Ella. Yep, one point to Ella. Here's another one. Oh, I've heard this. Oh, no, no, no! It's Charlie XCX, Boom Clap. Damn it. Come on.

I did it. Oh, I did it. How? Very good. Just in the nick of time. Yeah. I love that song. Well done.

Yes. That's very good. We're still in it. Yeah, we have a game on our hands now. Well done. Yes. That's very good. We're still in it. Yeah, we have a game on our hands now. This is for the win. Let's go, Clint. Oh, Ella! 22, Taylor Swift. Yes.

What was it? 22, Taylor Swift. We're happy, free, confused and lonely at the same time. Clint and I were, I feel like, on the same, we were just starting to get it, but Ella, too good. No, you didn't. No, you didn't.

I did. So, just whipping out the cockiness. I was going to say, there's the cockiness coming through. I'm right in your face. I was being nice and you were throwing it in my face.

Natasha, you picked the cocky champion. Ella, and we've got 50 KFC chicken dollars coming your way. Awesome, thank you so much. You are welcome.

The only thing more insufferable than a cocky person is a cocky talented person. I know. So good. Like someone who can back it up. So good. Yeah. But nothing feels better than beating that person. And we will be back on this horse.

Rubbing their face in the musical dirt. I'll see what happens. The next time we win, we need to rub her nose in it. Next on the show. Bree and Clint. This afternoon, we would like you to out your partner's yuckness live on the radio. Yeah, yuck their yuck.

Yeah, yuck their yuck. Yuck it. Yeah, don't yuck the yums. No. Just yuck the yucks. Yuck their yucks. But what if you find their yum yuck? That's where you run into issues. Then yuck the yums. No. Just yuck the yucks. Yuck their yucks. But what if you find their yum yuck? That's where you run into issues.

Then yuck their yum. I think we can agree that this thing I'm about to tell you is yuck. A woman who's, she's gone on the website Mumsnet to talk about her husband who sleeps in their marital bed in his dirty work clothes. No. No, no, no. No.

What kind of work does this gentleman do? She said she loves her husband and they have had a great relationship for years, but there is one thing that he has started doing that she finds absolutely revolting. He's a chef and he'll often go to bed in his dirty chefing clothes. Yuck! That's like when you used to go home and not shower. No, it's very different. And then your wife started implementing the rule where you have to now shower before getting into the

clean bed. That is very different. Is that true or no? Yeah, it's true. But I'm not a chef. I have a very sedentary job and I shower every morning. And going to bed without showering is not the same as coming home from a day in a hot kitchen and climbing into bed with your chefing clothes on that may still have bits of macaroni on them. It's not. It's not the same. And clearly the chef is way grosser, but that's still gross in my opinion.

Yeah, but that's because you're a nighttime showerer. You'd be not getting, you wouldn't be getting anywhere near my clean sheets. But I find you gross that you come to work in the morning without showering. Well, have you ever, okay, here's a really honest question. Yeah. Ever, like in the, how many years have we known each other? Six. And we sit very close to each other.

Yeah. How many times have you thought, God, Bree stinks today? No, never. Not once. Not once. But I'm just saying it's perspective. It's what you're used to. You find it gross to not shower at night.

I find it gross to not shower before leaving the house. Yeah. Yeah. But I'm not affecting anyone else. Like I'm not affecting, you. Like, I'm not affecting... You're affecting your partner who you're getting in the bed with. Oh, God, I come to work to get away from my wife. Excuse you.

That was a joke. That was a joke. That was a joke. Anyway, agreed to disagree. Let's agree to disagree. But you're a night-time shower now. And let's both apologise to my wife. Because me, I don't have to apologise to her.

For what I said. Yeah. You apologise. Anyway, back to this woman. She said... That's disgusting. Her husband comes home from a day of chefing. He'll sleep in his chef's clothes.

How does he think that's okay? Which is just lazy. Says the guy who doesn't shower at night. I do shower at night now. She said, am I being unreasonable to divorce him over this? Outside of this, he's usually okay. But he grew up in a very dirty house. Yeah right. She needs to talk to him about it.

She does. Yeah. She said they argue about it frequently. Right. And he still goes to bed in his chef's clothes. I'd be furious. It's just disrespectful for the other person in the bed. You know? Yeah. She's never going to roll over and want to peel his chef whites off, is she?

In a moment of passion. Chefs work hard. Yes, they do. Like it's sweaty in there. Yes, they do. And they stink afterwards because there's food and there's dirty water. There's heat, there's fire. Yeah.

There's oil, there's spices. I'd be furious. I've seen three seasons of The Bear. I know what it's like in a kitchen. I think separate beds. Separate beds, yeah. Or just don't sleep in your chef's whites. Yeah. That'd be a solution, wouldn't it?

Yep. Oh, $800 a day. This is a unique opportunity. Wait, before we go on to ask other people. Yeah. What's the grossest thing you do at home? That if your wife were to call up, she would dob you in for?

It would have been the showering, not showering before bed thing. But I've fixed it. I've fixed it. And do you do anything else gross? So I'm now perfect. I'm now perfect. So you do nothing else that's gross? I don't know because I don't gross myself out.

What about when you shaved your pubes into the bath towels and thought that that was okay? The ones that people wipe their face with. That was pretty gross. But she's fixed that as well because you stopped doing that. No, actually it was us that told you to stop doing that. Your wife, you did it in secret. Your wife didn't know about it.

Was that you? That was you, eh? Shut up. Shut up. Shut up. Shut up. I don't even know where to go anymore. Can I just say, I love doing this job with you. I really do.

Yeah, me too. I love it. Feelings mutual. I love it. I've never been closer to saying an F word on the radio. Oh, 800 dials at him. This is not about me and it was never meant to be about me. Do you want to out your partner for the yuck thing that they do?

Yes, yuck their yuck. And you never ask me. I just need a break from you. Okay. Just a couple of songs. That's fair. Most people in my life say that. Here's Mark Amber, ZM.

We're asking you to out your partner's yuck on the radio this afternoon. We just talked about a lady whose husband is a chef and he goes to sleep in his work clothes. In their bed. Disgusting. She said she's considering divorcing him. She's wondering if it's too far to divorce him. We got this text which said,

divorce his ass. That is just gross, especially if they've talked about it and he still won't clean up his yuck. I don't know if it's grounds for divorce. It's definitely grounds for separate beds. I'd be pretty upset, especially if you've talked to your partner and been like, hey, this bothers

me. And it's pretty fair enough from her. So are you willing to out your partner's yuckiness live on the radio? This person's willing to out their ex. They texted and said, my ex 28-year-old male used to out their ex. They text in and said, my ex, 28-year-old male, used to suck their thumb. That's interesting, eh? Yeah, there's some psychological baggage there.

Yeah. There's something for the therapist to unpack. And I wonder at what point did he reveal that habit to her? Yeah. You know, what point in the relationship? You were chastising me for not showering at night time. I was chastising you for not showering in the morning. We've had a text to say that we are both disgusting

for not showering twice a day. I'm just trying to save the planet. Yeah, me too. Yeah. I'm tired. Someone else said, hey, Clint, you should get Bree's partner on the blower to share her yucks. Well, I can do that for you.

You just didn't ask me. What are your yucks? I've got quite a few. I feel sorry for my partner who has none, by the way. Apart from like drying her hands on my towel after going to the toilet. But that's yuck for you, not for – Yeah, that's what I mean. That's her one thing that she does that's yuck.

I kind of flick toothpaste all over the bathroom mirror. That's pretty yuck I have been known to Actually, I'm not going to say that one Brie goes number twos with the door open and doesn't flush That's not true I heard that it is true That is not true, that's just for wheeze If it's yellow, let it mellow

It's because she was raised in the country Hamish is here, hi Hamish Hi Hamish How's it Hi, Hamish. Hi, Hamish. How's it going, guys? Good, thanks. It's a big man willing to call through and out their partner's yuck on the radio. I'm literally sitting next to her now as well, so it makes it even more dangerous territory.

She's in the car with you. Look out, Hamish. Hamish, are you there? Have we lost you? She got him. Hamish. She got him. Hamish, are you okay? Oh we lost you? She got him. Hamish! She got him. Hamish, are you okay?

Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Someone's... We're going to send... You're kidding. That did not just... Oh, he's there. Oh, my God.

We thought... Hamish. We're about to send a rapid response vehicle to see what your partner had done. We thought you were a goner, Hamish. Okay, Hamish. No, no, it's still here. So, um...

You've got a clear line. Give us your partner's yuck. So, imagine just painting the picture, you biting into a juicy apple or a pear or something like that. Well, my wife does the same thing in that perspective, but she bites into a raw potato. She just eats potatoes raw. What?

There she is in the background going off. Stick a potato in it, love. We're talking to Hamish. That can't be good for her. Does she wash the potato first? Yeah, she washes the potato first, but she claims it's good for you as long as you don't eat the green bits. Hamish.

Hamish. I know. I'm on the same buzz as you guys. I think it's hereditary because her dad does the same thing. Really? Right, it's been handed down from generation to generation. It's hereditary. Is she willing to talk to us, Hamish?

Yep. Hand her over. She didn't say she is, but yep. Here we go. Hello. Hello, love. Are you the potato eater? Yeah.

Do you know you're live on ZM right now? Yes, I do. What's your name? Sorry, what's your eater? Yeah. Do you know you're live on ZM right now? Yes, I do. What's your name? Sorry, what's your name? Alicia. Alicia, you eat raw potatoes, and Hamish has called us up to ouch your yuck. Now we want you to do the same for him.

What's the yuckiest thing? Yeah, what's so yuck about him? Oh, I don't know. I couldn't think of just one thing off the top of my head. Oh, so there's multiple. Yeah, it's multiple. Yeah, probably a whole list. I couldn't think of just one thing off the top of my head. Oh, so there's multiple. Yeah, it's multiple. Yeah, probably a whole list. I wouldn't have time.

Why do you like raw potatoes before we run out of time? What's the allure? I don't know. It's kind of like the texture of an apple, just with a different flavour. All right. To be fair. There is no flavour, Alicia.

It's a potato. It is. Well, have you done it? Yeah, well, that's a great point. That's a very good point. That is a great point, Alicia. We'll make you a flavour, Alicia. It's a potato. Well, have you done it? Yeah, well, that's a great point. That's a very good point. That is a great point, Alicia. We'll make you a deal, Alicia. You give our producers your number.

We'll call you back. We'll try a raw potato live on the radio with you tomorrow, okay? Okay. Okay? Deal. Handshake. Deal. All right.

See you this time tomorrow, Alicia. Okay. All right. See you, mate. I'm looking forward to that. Someone texted through and said, my ex used to leave used earbuds everywhere. That is so yuck.

Yuck. That is disgusting. Someone else texted and said, my husband eats raw potatoes and yams. Someone else said, my husband picks his nose and flicks it and I find crusty boogers all through the house. You've got to spend the rest of your life with that person.

On the toilet wall, on the bedroom wall, on the sheets, on the bed, it's so gross. Oh, that. Yeah. Oh, thank you. Claudia, before we go to this last call, you've put a warning on it. It says warning yuck. How yuck?

Is it yucker than that? Is it yucker than the boogie flicker? I would say on par. It says warning yuck. How yuck? Is it yucker than that? Is it yucker than the boogie flicker? I would say on par. Out of 10? Eight. Eight? Oh, that's pretty grim. Oh, they eat their own toenails or something.

You've been pre-warned. Sam, what's the yuck thing your partner does? Yeah. So I bought my husband a shawl for Christmas. He had some pretty bad feet. And he sits on our bed and he shoals straight onto our ground. Wait, what's a shawl for Christmas. He had some pretty bad feet and he sits on our bed and he shawls straight onto our ground. Wait, what's a

shawl? You know, like a foot sander. He goes around and takes all the sanding, all the yuck. It grinds the dead skin off your feet. A foot grinder. Yeah. It's a foot grinder. So he just does it. In our room, on the floor. Wait, it's a foot grinder. Oh. And so he just does it, just in our room, just on the floor.

Wait, I need to ask, Sam, do you have wood floors or carpet? Oh, carpet. Oh, that's off. Yeah, it's so bad. And honestly, I've told him, and he's like, seriously, babe, like we lose so many skin cells every day. It is not even a big deal. And he's like, just, babe, we lose so many skin cells every day. It's not even a big deal. And he's like, just vacuum it up.

I love the logic. Look on the bright side, never a shortage of parmesan in your house. Forbidden parmesan. The devil's parmesan. Matured past its use by date. Sam, do you wish you never bought the shoal? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, definitely.

Oh, Sam, you seem like a saint to stay with him. Let me get him to sleep outside for a bit. There we go. Everybody's got that special someone in their life that they find absolutely revolting. You love them in spite of these things. In sickness and in health. Someone called in to Dobbin, their partner, who eats raw potatoes.

We said, we asked them to join us on the show tomorrow because they said, have you ever tried it? And we said, no. And we said we would eat a raw potato with them live on the radio tomorrow. We have had a text from someone that says, you should not eat raw potatoes. They are from the deadly nightshade family and could cause serious digestive issues. Yeah, I feel like I'm already playing with fire when it comes to certain foods.

Yeah, a raw potato. I don't know how my stomach would react. Which does get at a certain element of jeopardy to the raw potato tomorrow, doesn't it? Oh, I do like the thrill. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Risk versus reward. Always chasing the thrill. Yeah, but anyway, we appreciate the advice.

I feel like we needed to share that in case we spiked anybody's interest and they were going to swing by Fruit World for a potato on the way home. Yeah. So, yeah. Imagine you're at lunch. You have your salad you know, your salad and then you whip out a raw potato and everyone's like...

What are you up to? Is Sandy from Accounts eating a raw potato? She's like, you're eating a raw carrot. What's the difference? What is the difference? All I want for my birthday is a birthday banger. Someone else has just texted and said, one potato won't kill you.

Well, there you go. We could try it if we wanted to. Thank you. This is Birthday Banger. Number one songs when you turn 16. We're going to play one of these out. The birthday boy, Hayden, is going first. Kia ora, Hayden.

Happy birthday, Hayden. Hey, how's it going? Good, thanks. How old are you turning today? I'm 28 today. Oh, 28. 28 today. 28 today.

28's a great year. It is. In my opinion, one of the best, Hayden, so live it up. Oh, 28. 28 today. 28 today. 28's a great year. It is. In my opinion, one of the best, Hayden, so live it up. Woo-hoo. Wasn't 27 a great year? It felt like it was, yeah. Yeah. Not for some people.

True. You survived it, Hayden. Hey, all right. Well, that means you were 16, Hayden, in 2012. And on this day in 2012, this was at the top. Oh, the birthday boy's got an absolute beauty from Florence and Calvin Harris. It's a belter, Hayden. Are you into it?

Yeah, I do like that. Yeah. Absolute ripper. Okay, wait there. We're going to do Jade's birthday Yeah. Absolute ripper. Okay, wait there. We're going to do Jade's birthday banger. Hi, Jade. Hi, Jade. Hi, guys.

How are you, Jade? What have you been up to today? Look, we just finished some kids' b-ball. Shout out to the Hill South Cyclones. Shout out to the Hill South Cyclones. Hell yeah. Let's go, Cyclones. Let's go.

Love that, Jade. Love that. What is your birthday, Let's go. Love that, Jade. Love that. What is your birthday, mate? 15th of March, 1983. All right. You were 16 in the year 1999. And here's your birthday banger. You've got the music in you.

Go, let's go. You've got the music in you. Huge one-hit wonders, but what a tune. What do you think, Jade? Yeah, probably not my preferred banger, but... Oh, okay. New radicals, you get what you give. I think it's such a tune.

Okay. Wait there. That's 1999. Let's do Sam's birthday banger. Hi, Sam. Hi, Sam. How are we going? Hello.

Good, mate. How are you going? Oh, fantastic. Aren't we going? Hello. Good, mate. How are you going? Oh, fantastic. Aren't we all living the dream? Aren't we all living the dream? You've got great energy, Sam. Have you been told that before? More or less.

I like it. More or less. This is fun, Sam, because you are as old as that last birthday banger is. You were born in 1999, but what date specifically? The 22nd of July. All right, Sam. That means you were born in 1999, but what date specifically? The 22nd of July. All right, Sam, that means you were 16 in 2015.

And on your 16th birthday, this was at the top. It's good. It's not great, though. It's not great. I. It's not great. I'd definitely go for Hayden's out of all. You'd be going for Calvin Harris and Florence and the Machine? Definitely that two and a half. Okay.

Thanks, Sam. We're going to take that on board. Thanks, Sam. What are you thinking? I really, really, really like that new Radical song. Vote for it. But then I really like the Calvin Harris song, and I feel like it being Hayden's birthday today

is enough to tip that over into first place. Well, if it makes a difference, I was always voting for Spectrum. Hayden, you are, on your birthday, the winner of Birthday Banger. Congratulations. Let's go, baby. Happy birthday, Hayden.

Have a good night. Thank you. Cheers, babe. Here we go. Brian Clint. Banger. From birthday Hayden. Have a good night. Thank you. Cheers babe. Here we go. Brian Clint from the year 2012. Here's Hayden's birthday banger on ZM.

Brian Clint. ZM. Brian Clint. Calvin Harris on the remix of Florence and the Machine. That spectrum. It's a birthday banger from the year 2012. It was number one on this day 12 years ago. This very day. It's Hayden's birthday banger. It's his birthday today.

That song absolutely slaps at any festival. Yeah. If that song comes on, the crowd is going nuts yeah i'm so into it it's such a good choice uh it took down little mix and the new radicals as well which i stand by both would have been excellent choices as well all great songs today but the right decision was made in my opinion i read this article uh this morning and it kind of blew my mind because the show Friends we all know and we all love. Well, some people might not love it, but a lot of people do.

Very enduring. What does that mean? It means it's lasted the test of time. It really has. 30 years to be exact. It's 30 years old. Did you know that? Bree just shot me the weirdest look.

She's like, what does that mean? What does that mean? Are you being mean to friends? Yeah. I thought you were for a second. 30 years old it is. Wow. 30 years since it finished or 30 years since it started?

Well, it started in 1994 and finished in 2004. Wow. Okay. So 20 years since it finished. 20 years since it finished. Even that's pretty. So 20 years since it finished. 20 years since it finished. Even that's pretty confronting. 30 years since it started. Yeah.

But in the article, it was talking about, you know, how old the Friends actually were. Because I always watch it now and think how old they're meant to be in certain seasons. It's weird watching it as an adult for us who watched it as teenagers because when I watched it, they were always older than me. So in my mind, the characters are always older than me. Yeah, now when you watch it, you realise that you're actually

older than them. Yeah, which is confronting as well. Because the show's obviously set where they start in their 20s and then they get older. Yes. But I thought we could play a little bit of a game to see who is the biggest Friends. Oh, Ella's getting excited.

I love Friends. Who is the biggest Friends fan? Okay, sure. Okay? Yeah. So a little bit of Friends theme music. Okay. Underneath, if we can.

So the game is, and no one, everyone get off the text machine. No one's allowed to Google anything. I'm watching all of you. And here's the game. So essentially, I want you to tell me how old were the friends meant to be, like the characters meant to be in the first season? Clint. Okay, so wait.

We'll start off with Rachel. How old was Rachel meant to be? She ran in a wedding dress, so I'm going'll start off with Rachel. How old was Rachel meant to be? She ran in a wedding dress, so I'm going to say she was 25. 25? Clint's locking in. Producers? I'm going to say younger. Yeah.

22. 22? Claudia's saying 22. Hold on, let me write down your answers. Rachel, Clint says 25. I'm just trying to remember because I remember their 30th birthdays, but I'm trying to remember the order of their birthdays. Claudia says 25. I'm just trying to remember because I remember their 30th birthdays but I'm trying to remember the order of their birthdays. Claudia says 22. So the closest or whoever gets it spot on

will get a point. Put it on Ella quickly. 23. Ella says 23. 22. So Rachel was meant to hold on, let me just double check. She was 24. Ah, bummer. So Clint was the furthest away.

No. You said 25. Oh, yeah. Ella said 23. Yeah. Oh, so Ella and Clint get a point. Everyone but me. Yes.

Okay. Clint and Ella on one point. Claudia on none. Next character. Let's go with Chandler. How old was Chandler meant to be? 25. On the first episode?

Yes, in the first season, yep. 26. 27. Okay, 26, 27. 25. Ella? 26, 27. And Ella said 25.

It was 26. Ah! What did I say? Which means Clint gets a point. I'm not liking this. Okay, next character. We'll go with Chandler's friend, Ross. 27.

Wait, how old was Chandler? 26. 26? Ross is Monica's older sister and Rachel was 24, so Ross is 26. Ross was also 26. And if you're a true Friends fan, you would know because they went to college together. Thank you. And they roomed in college.

So they were both 26. What about Joey? Joey's 25. How old is Joey? 24. Joey was 25. Damn it. Look at this game.

I've learnt to go with Clint. What about Phoebe? How old was Phoebe in the first season of Friends? Phoebe was 25. Damn it. I've learnt to go with Clint. What about Phoebe? How old was Phoebe in the first season of Friends? Phoebe was 27. 27. They're just copying me now. She was 27. She was the oldest and Rachel was the youngest at 24.

Did I just get 100% on that? I think you were pretty close. I think the only one you missed was Rachel, when you were one year off. Yeah. Pretty bloody close. I'm the ultimate friend. You are the ultimate friend.

And I'm a bad friend. And you're a bad friend. I'm a mediocre friend. And I have no friends. Oh. And I am 10 years older than the oldest friend. Oh. I'll be there for you.

When the rain starts to fall. Bree and Clint. That's Gracie Abrams. It's called Close to You. And that is the end of the Bree and Clint show. I read yesterday that she's JJ Abrams' daughter, Gracie Abrams. Wait, who's JJ Abrams again? Actor.

Movie producer. Movie producer. Isn't that right? Alsoams. Wait, who's JJ Abrams again? Actor. Movie producer? Movie producer. Isn't that right? Also actor? Yeah. He's a director. Director. Yeah, he's done a lot of funny stuff.

He did Star Trek. Oh, no. And Cloverfield and Mission Impossible. Oh, jeez. Okay. And that's his daughter. Yeah, right. Gracie Abrams.

Okay. God, talented family. Am Yeah, right. Gracie Abrams. Okay. God, talented family. Am I right or did I make that up? Let me just fact check myself. Claudia's saying yes. I am right. Claudia's saying you're right. Can you say the words, please, Claudia?

I don't want to. I don't want it to be on record. Just do another thumbs up so people can't hear. That fact is correct. So if by a couple of weeks ago's logic that Sabrina Carpenter is a Nepo baby because she's Nancy Cartwright, the voice of Bart Simpson's niece, is Gracie Abrams a Nepo baby? I mean, you still have to have the talent, don't you? You do. And it's like Sabrina Carpenter.

Talent for days. Talent for days. Talent for days. But that's interesting to know. It is, especially because I thought Gracie Abrams was a New Zealand artist. Did you? Up until yesterday, yeah. Really?

Yeah, yeah. That's one of my favourite songs in the playlist. Because it sounds so much like Lorde. That's what I've always said, yeah. Well, that song in particular anyway. Yeah. There you go. A bit of musical knowledge to finish your day.

We've got to go. We've got to go. Brie and I are going to the Pie Awards tonight. I've never been more excited to go to an awards. The New Zealand Pie Awards. We will find out where the greatest pie in New Zealand is made tonight. But then you informed me that we don't even get to eat any of the pies. Well, they serve a fancy dinner, and it's for people who make pies every day.

So they don't want to eat the pies. So what's the last thing they want to eat is pies. Yeah. But there is a secret room. With pies in it? With a bunch of pie warmers. Shut up! And after dinner,

you can go and have an after dinner pie if you like. God, it's way better than dessert. I know. Way better. So tomorrow we'll let you know where New Zealand's greatest pie is. Oh, how good. We're happy to do that research for you guys.

Yeah, no, we will do that as journalists. No, no, no, no. It's fine. We'll do that. We will do it. Don't worry about no. It's fine. We'll do that. We'll do it. Don't worry about it. It's our oath or something.

Let's go. See you later. Bye. Bye.
