What's going on everybody?
Welcome to the show, it's Brie and Clint.
G'day guys, happy Tuesday.
I've had my nail done.
And I've had a haircut, I feel like a new man.
Oh you have, yeah it looks good.
Yeah, well yours looks good too.
Well thanks.
Anyone would think we're getting ready for a big award ceremony this week.
I know.
There's so much stuff to do to get ready for a red tie event.
Red tie?
Red tie.
Red tie.
Black tie.
You can tell I don't go often.
Ronald McDonald's going to be there.
Yep.
I've booked in for my first...
Back cracking sack.
No.
I've lasered.
I don't need that.
My first actual spray tan because I usually just do it myself.
Have you never had a spray tan applied by someone else?
No, I have.
My first spray tan from someone else in maybe four or five years.
Oh, yeah?
Yeah, and you have to put the paper G-string on.
Don't forget to get in there and do the exfoliating beforehand.
Mate, it's not my first rodeo.
Get that bloody belt sander on you.
Yeah, I need to get that on me elbows.
You need to get it on your feet after the weekend.
I don't want to talk about what my feet look like.
We're looking for a new sponsor for the show.
Your lactol heel balm is listening.
Oh, mate.
Brie will do some sponsored posts for you on her Instagram.
I went to get my nails done, right, this morning,
and she did an amazing job.
Like, I'm so happy with them.
And then she's like,
do you want to come back tomorrow and get your feet done?
And I was like,
I don't think you want me to come back and get my feet done.
Uh-uh, no-go zone.
I feel like it would cause her to go into therapy.
Brie walked 50 kilometres on the weekend.
That's why we're talking about her disgusting feet at the moment.
Do you know, I once, I've never ridden into a television channel
to lay a complaint before,
but I came very close to lodging a complaint with the BSA
because they were showing this ad for a fungal,
like a fungal nail infection cream at dinner time on TV.
So we're sitting there watching TV, eating our dinner,
and they're showing you treating an infected fungal nail with bloody, oh, yuck.
I've never seen anything grosser on TV.
I've seen that in real life before.
A friend of mine had her pedicure done and had the nail polish put on,
and she's like, God, my big toe is killing me
and it just looked normal.
And then I was like,
maybe take the nail polish off.
You might have an ingrown toenail.
She took the nail polish off
and her toenail was green.
It was all infected.
It was so bad.
I had to completely take the toenail off.
This is bonus foot content
for anyone who's into that, by the way.
If you want more,
head to WikiFeet. Yeah, forward slash Brie Thomas's into that, by the way. If you want more, head to Wikifeet.
Yeah, forward slash Brie Thomas L.
Okay, let's kick things off with
Tradie vs Lady. We're ready to go. We've got your
questions locked and loaded. The gap is 10.
40 points to the Tradies, 50
points to the Ladies, and we're giving away
$50 cash
thanks to KFC.
Brie and Clint.
Brie and Clint. Bree and Clint.
Tradies versus ladies.
A 10-point deficit is what the scoreline says at the moment.
The ladies sitting on 50 wins for the year.
The tradies on 40.
It's a decent lead.
It's like a...
It's decent.
It's a really good buffer.
But not unachievable.
No, not unachievable.
There's plenty of time.
Yeah, it's a big effort. It'll take a big effort. But not unachievable. No, not unachievable. There's plenty of time. Yeah, it's a big effort.
It'll take a big effort.
Plenty of time left for the year, though.
I don't know if they've got it in them this year.
I don't know if the tradies can do it.
Just go easy on the tradies.
I'm trying to use reverse psychology.
Right.
I'm using what's called negative reinforcement.
I'm negging the tradies.
Yeah, right.
You're negging them on.
Yeah.
Let's meet the tradie and see if it's working.
They are from Putaruru.
They are 30 years old, and they have a freckle for every time they've made someone laugh.
That's a bit cute.
Welcome to the show, Eric.
G'day, Eric.
Hello there.
How's it going?
Good, thanks.
So would you say you've got a lot of freckles in?
No, only two.
Oh.

Well, there's another one we just love.
There's your third freckle.
There you go.
Okay, you're going to take on Abby today.
She's calling from Hawke's Bay.
She's 39, and she can't produce tears when she cries.
Welcome to the show, Abby.
Hi.
Abby, tell us more.
Is this like a medical condition?
Yeah, I just don't produce enough tears.
When you cry, your eyes get welled up and I don't get tears.
Has that been your whole life?
Yeah, my whole life.
What an unsatisfying way to cry.
You're essentially just moaning.
You're not crying.
You're just whinging.
No one takes me seriously.
I was going to say, people would think you're faking it every time you're crying.
Yeah. Oh, you're crying. Yeah.
Oh, you poor thing.
Okay.
Abs your buzzers, lady.
Eric, yours is tradie.
If anyone's got us on speaker, take us off speaker.

Freckle boy.
He can't hear us.

Oh, people are calling through trying to jump in Eric's grave.
Yeah.

Yep.
Abby's there. Eric You still with us, Ebby? Yep, still here. Ebby's there.

Is it the All-American Regie?
No. I mean, it's a great guess.
Andy, you want to have a go?

Congratulations.
Excellent.
Thank you.
And another one to the ladies on 51.
Jeez, three contestants and seven questions.
That was a lot.
That was a lot.
Got to write a whole new set for tomorrow.
Bree and Clint.
Did you see the story of the Perth woman who gave birth to a baby
even though she didn't know that she was pregnant?
Yeah, I always notice these stories
because it gives me nightmares.
Because you never know, right?
No, I'm pretty sure.
So is she.
So is she.
No, I think I'm even more sure.
No, she was pretty sure.
No.
Why?
How come you're so sure?
I'm pretty sure.
A few reasons.
Yeah?
There's actually multiple reasons.
Right.
You know when I go to get an X-ray and they ask,
is there any possibility that you could be pregnant?
And I say, zero.
Lady stuff, I guess.
I'll just stop asking.
Yeah.
34-year-old woman from Perth, given birth to, important,
a healthy baby girl, even though she had no idea
that she was nine months pregnant.
Nine months?
Yeah.
These stories blow my mind.
That's the whole term.
That's the whole term.
It was a full-size baby.
It was a full baby.
Wow.
Did she just think she'd put on a bit of weight?
Yes.
Her name's Ashley.
She's a truck driver from Perth,
and she said in the nine months leading up to her daughter's birth,
she did notice that she was no longer getting her period
and... That's a pretty
big sign, Ashley.
Yeah, she thought she had menopause.
What? How old is she?
34. Oh, Ashley.
That's very early onset. I mean
which it can happen but... Yeah, she said
she also felt a bit bloated.
Bloody hell.
But she didn't take too much notice of her symptoms, she said.
Her symptoms.
Yeah, symptoms, yeah.
She literally just kept on trucking.
Literally.
This is incredible.
I've got here the clip of her calling emergency services,
111 or whatever the phone number is in Australia.
She must have thought she was dying.
Yes.
Is that what she thought?
Well, I think either that or she was in the movie Alien or something like that.
She's on the toilet and she's talking to the paramedics.
Okay.
Have a listen to this.
What's happened?
You said you've got lower pain in your...
Oh, my God.
What's happening right now?
Oh, my God.
I'm just sitting on the toilet because it feels like something's trying to come out,
but there's nothing there and it just hurts.
Can you imagine how scared you would be if you didn't know that there was a baby
that was trying to get out of you?
That's so weird because I have had that similar experience sitting on the toilet.
No.
Yeah, I know I have.
No, no.
Yeah, you know when I'm just like,
please come out!
No, no, Bree.
No, not like this.
Well, maybe not exactly.
I literally knew you were going to make that mistake.
Well, maybe not exactly the same, but...
Anyway.
Yeah, you know when you have a spicy coma?
Okay, I feel like they come out a bit easier, don't they?
Not always.
She said luckily she had quit drinking recently,
so there was no risk.
Oh, thank God.
To the baby.
Baby was all good.
Perfect timing.
Yeah.
Yeah, her and her partner now have a beautiful baby girl.
Wait, she's got a partner?
Yeah, she's got a partner, yeah, yeah.
And what, he didn't think anything was different?
No, he didn't notice either.
Didn't notice anything?
No changes or? What's he going to say? What is he going to say? Babe, you look like notice either. Didn't notice anything? No changes?
What's he going to say?
What is he going to say?
Babe, you look like you're putting on a bit of weight.
I don't think so.
Yeah, but if I was someone's partner and they hadn't got a period in nine months,
I'd probably be like, should you probably do a test? I don't know if many men know.
Oh, you have those discussions in relationships.
Like, if you're not trying for a baby, like... But if she's not sharing it, like, if she didn't think it was a big deal, you have those discussions in relationships. Like, if you're not trying for a baby, like...
But if she's not sharing it,
like, if she didn't think it was a big deal, you know?
Yeah, I can't believe she didn't think that was a big deal.
Yeah.
That's, like, the biggest sign.
That's the sign.
Yeah.
That is the sign.
When someone doesn't get it, they go,
hmm, probably should get a pregnancy test.
My partner did something the other week,
and now I don't have that thing.
Probably should get a pregnancy test.
I can't believe that.
Well, it must be menopausal.
But the baby's healthy?
Baby's all good.
Yeah, they're happy as.
They wouldn't have a cot.
They wouldn't have nappies.
They would have nothing.
They would literally have nothing.
We have to send them home via the baby factory.
Do we know she made it to the hospital to give birth?
Don't know.
I don't know.
Because, I mean, I feel so bad for her.
Oh, the paramedic.
No, I do know.
The paramedics came to her house and they delivered the baby in her house.
Oh, God, that's scary.
Yeah, the paramedic who came was the only midwife in the area by coincidence.
Wow.
Isn't that amazing?
That's so lucky.
I thought we could ask this afternoon on 0800 dials at M,
how pregnant were you before you found out you were pregnant?
How far along?
How far along?
Like, how many months?
Maybe we'll have someone call in that was like Ashley.
Went the whole way?
Yeah.
How?
How was that possible?
Yeah, well, they might be able to tell us.
Oh, 800 dials at M.
Or you can text your story through to 9696.
We'd love to know this afternoon how prego were you
before you found out, oh, wow, I've got a baby inside me.
Bree and Clint.
Do you reckon anyone's ever called for...
I know what you're going to say.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
Like thinking something's real wrong?
Surely.
Probably.
And I wonder what the training says to do for the people on the other end of the line.
Well, they might have thought that this woman just had really bad, you know.
Yeah. You don't know. That's the thing. She backed up. Well, they might have thought that this woman just had really bad, you know. Yeah.
You don't know.
That's the thing.
She backed up.
Because, I mean, is it quite, I would say.
Backed up like a freight truck.
I would say it's quite rare that someone doesn't know
they're nine months pregnant.
Yeah, yeah, definitely.
You know, wouldn't happen all the time.
Definitely.
That's why we've asked you this afternoon,
how pregnant were you by the time you found out you were pregnant?
Nicole, yours is pretty intense.
Yeah. So what was it? How pregnant were you when you found
out? I was in labour when I found out. Whoa! You were in labour?
So you were pretty much the whole term and did you know that you were
in labour or did you have to go to the hospital and they had to tell you that you were about to have
a baby? I went to the hospital. I was living in Scotland at the time
and I went to the hospital and they... Lifted up your kilt.
They said I had kidney stones. So I did a urine test and they came
back and they're like, oh, you're pregnant. You're kidding. What was going
through your mind when they came in and told you that? Well, I was like, oh
no. Then they thought because of the pain that I was in,
maybe it was like an ectopic pregnancy.
Oh, yeah.
They sent me to the maternity hospital on the other side of town
and I got there and they did a scan and they're like,
oh, you're definitely pregnant and you're in active labour.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God, Nicole, you poor thing.
Were you on like an OE?
Were you like?
Oh, God.
Were you on, can I ask, were you on birth control?
Yeah.
Yeah, it's not 100% effective.
They should put it on the box, Nicole.
Oh, jeez, wow.
When you're in labour, that's pretty late, I reckon.
Let's talk to Eden.
Hi, Eden.
Hi, Eden.
Hi.
How pregnant were you when you found out that you were pregnant?
I was over halfway. Wow. And what gave it away for you, Eden. Hi, Eden. Hi. How pregnant were you when you found out that you were pregnant? I was over halfway.
Wow.
And what gave it away for you, Eden, where you thought, maybe I'm pregnant?
I went to my GP for some like abdo pain, you know, weird things going on.
Yeah.
And the test was negative.
So I was like, cool, whatever.
I've got endos and maybe it's that.
I went back in three weeks later and they're like, right, that was clear. And I'm like, cool, whatever. I've got endo, so maybe it's that. We're back in three weeks later, and they're like, right, that was clear.
And I'm like, cool.
And then they're like, we'll send you up to the hospital.
And I'm like, what for?
And they said, because you're pregnant, and we think it's sick.
Perfect.
Oh, same thing.
Yeah.
So I got up to the hospital.
They're like, we think you're around 10 weeks.
Did a scan.
They're like, you're like four or five months pregnant.
Oh, my God, Eden. Time to paint the baby's bedroom, it's almost here.
And yeah, she's five now. Wow, and I mean, that's
amazing, like, I mean, as someone who also suffers from endo, it's not really something
you think where you're just like, whoops, got pregnant, you know, because it's quite complicated, so
that's incredible, Eden. Thanks, and that's amazing. Someone said
not myself, but I had a friend whose period never stopped the whole time that she was pregnant.
So she didn't know that she was pregnant until she was six months in.
That can happen too.
Can it?
Yeah.
I mean, there's all kinds of stuff that can go on.
And then the complete opposite of that, we're asking people who found out late.
This person said, I knew I was pregnant immediately because I felt the
egg implant in my uterus.
They have IVF.
Oh, aye, that would explain it.
What do you think happened?
That they were just so in tune with their body that
they felt the sperm go into the egg.
They could feel
everything. What about this text?
I'm dumb, mate.
And you've got two daughters. I made them. I helped. I was there.
Someone said, my wife found out she was pregnant and gave birth the same
day. We now have a two-month-old healthy boy.
Imagine just going into the doctor's... That's my worst nightmare.
Just being like, I feel a bit sick. It took me nine months to just prepare.
I didn't even have to birth the baby, you know?
Yeah.
I'd be, like, to be honest, probably be good for me
because you have no time to think about it, you know?
So you don't have any anxiety or stress.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You're just like, all right.
Like a surprise bungee jump.
Yeah.
They blindfold you.
You're like.
Lead you to the edge.
Just push you off.
Wow, baby's here. Well, there is pushing involved, isn't there? And a cord. Yeah. You're like. Lead you to the edge. Just push you off. Wow. Baby's here.
Well, there is pushing involved, isn't there?
And a cord.
Yeah.
Bree and Clint.
Bree and Clint, the home of aviation news.
And I'm just going to warn you guys.
This aviation news is concerning.
Yeah.
Well, when you just gave me the headline before, I'm going to chop up my passport.
Should I headline it again?
Yeah.
Really draws people in, eh?
Yeah.
Really draws people in.
Air New Zealand want to weigh you.
No, thanks.
No, thank you.
For the month of June, Air New Zealand, our national carrier,
will be weighing customers travelling on international flights
out of Auckland Airport.
Why?
The airline says the process is essential to the safe and efficient operation of the aircraft
and is a civil aviation authority requirement.
So get on the goddamn scales, lady.
What a load of BS.
What a load of bull-ass.
Airlines must carefully calculate the weight, balance
and fuel requirements of every
flight to fly safely and efficiently
which means every now and then
they have to make sure the average passenger
weight is correct. Well, what's been happening
till now? How have they been getting it right
till now? Well, they had
an average passenger weight, but the
problem is people are getting heavier.
Yeah, hence why we don't want to be weighed.
I'm getting flashbacks to the time I walked up to the desk to check in.
I can't remember what airline it was, but I went up to check in
and the lady was super nice.
She was lovely and she's like, she goes, okay, you're all checked in.
She's like, you're in a middle seat.
She goes, I can put you into an emergency Xero if that'd be nice.
And I was like, that would be amazing.
And then she looked at me and went, you can't be pregnant though.
Piss off.
She did not.
And I went.
She did not.
And I went, I'm not, but I'm throwing this dress out.
She goes, oh, my God.
She goes, I didn't mean it like that.
I didn't mean it like that. I didn't mean it like that.
I was just checking the possibility that you could be.
And I was like, give me all the free stuff now.
Yeah.
Emergency exit row, I see that.
And I raise you one business class seat.
Thank you very much.
I'll take a business class.
Here's what Air New Zealand are promising you.
Discretion.
They said, we know stepping on the scales...
Oh, this is real.
This is real.
This is serious.
Oh, no, this isn't funny.
This is serious.
They said, we know stepping on the scales can be daunting.
We want to reassure our customers there is no visible display anywhere.
It's not like an LED screen that goes, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding.
We've got a winner.
Triple figures.
Are they going to write it on your hand like you do when you go for a bungee jump in big
black magic marker?
No one can see your weight, not even us.
It's completely anonymous and it's voluntary.
And by weighing in, you'll be helping us to fly even safer and more efficiently.
Oh, get stuffed.
I'm weighing in. Are you not?
Nah, if it's voluntary, I'm not
doing it. Well, you're going to help the plane.
No way. It means all these people
who are proud of their weight
are going to jump on the scales. Who's proud of
their weight? Some people.
You might have done a 12-week
shred before your trip to Fiji. I don't
know. They're going to jump on the scales
and they're going to disproportionately
misrepresent the average.
We need some normal Joes like you
and me on the scales. No one
is going to go,
wouldn't mind getting weighed today. So do you,
you don't see the weight? You don't see the weight, no.
It goes into a computer and it never
gets displayed. Even the person checking you in
doesn't get to go, oh, okay.
I don't know about this.
A couple of sandwiches for lunch.
It just feels real degrading
to stand on a big scale
in front of everyone.
Yeah, like your stock. Like your cattle
off to market. Like even if the
weight isn't shown,
it's like when you have to weigh
your bag.
And then if you're overweight, everyone's like...
It is a fact, though, that New Zealanders are getting heavier.
Overall weight gain since 1960, men have gone up 17.6% since 1960.
Whoa, that's a fair bit.
Not as much as the women, 18.5%.
How dare you?
How dare you? How dare you?
It's not me, it's the data.
No, I feel like it's a personal attack.
It's the data.
And both sexes have gained roughly an inch.
Well, that makes sense then.
And that accounts for some of the, yeah.
Yeah.
Well, it doesn't account for 18%.
And with all the bloody hormones in chicken and steak,
our boobs are bigger.
That's like at least accounts for some of that.
Do you want to put those on the scales?
Stop trying to put my boobs on the scales.
Brie and Clint.
You're on ZM.
Brie and Clint.
Sorry, a little bit puffed.
I just run back from the kitchen.
Yeah, what were you doing?
Making a coffee and buying a cookie.
Oh, I didn't want a tea.
Don't you turn that on me.
No, it's fine, mate.
Don't you turn that on me. I wasn't keen fine, mate. Don't you turn that on me.
I wasn't keen on a tea.
There's four people that work on this show.
Producers, did you get asked if you wanted a tea?
No, he didn't even offer.
Really rude, Clem.
Oh, that's pretty rude.
Four people on this show.
That is pretty rude.
Bree walked in here at five to three with three cups of tea.
Were you here when I asked everyone?
No.
Yeah, exactly.
Were we here when you've walked off to make yourself a coffee?
It's revenge coffee.
Revenge coffee.
Tastes like coffee.
Tastes like instant coffee.
Who's getting the real revenge here?
Excuse me, I found a secret Nespresso machine in the building, actually.
Did you?
Yeah, and if you want to know where it is, you have to be nice to me,
so suck on that. I don't drink coffee, so. Hey you? Yeah, and if you want to know where it is, you have to be nice to me, so suck on that.
I don't drink coffee, so.
Hey, have you got a crock pot?
I don't have a crock pot.
We're a crock pot-less family.
I need to borrow a crock pot.
What?
You can't borrow mine.
I don't have one.
Broke my crock pot last night.
It's crock pot season, isn't it?
It's definitely crock pot weather out there.
How old was your crockpot? I reckon
it was from 1983.
Probably due a new crockpot.
If your family grew up with a crockpot,
if you're a crockpot family,
it's the crockpot. It's the white
sunbeam one, which is not quite
white anymore because it's so old it's gone a bit yellow.
And mine's got a black pot that sits
in it, but if you're real old school, you actually
had a brown pot that sat inside it
with the big glass lids.
Why is it called a crock pot?
Great question.
Great question.
Like I know the other term for it is slow cooker,
which makes sense because it cooks things slow.
But it literally says on the front of it,
Sunbeam crock pot.
Is it like the name brand?
Gosh, that's a good question.
And we all just call it a crock pot now?
That's a great question. Does Sunbeam own the term crockpot?
Yeah. Anyway, my crockpot's
broken. Smashed the switch off it. I've been
on Trade Me looking for this exact vintage
of crockpot. There's three of them out there
and they're still available. They're only $10
for that crockpot. $10? Well.
And then someone messaged me and they said that's the
exact crockpot from the TV show This Is
Us that caught fire and killed the dad.
Jeez.
Why do you want the exact same one?
Why don't you invest in a new technology crockpot?
You know they exist.
Well, I have to now that I know that it burnt down a house.
I can't in good conscience buy one.
Well, I don't understand why you'd choose to buy a crockpot from the 1980s.
Well, nostalgia.
It's vintage.
Yeah, but the technology.
Reminds me of my childhood.
It's like going, oh, I need a new bread maker.
I could get the 2023 version that pretty much makes perfect bread every time
or I'll get the bread maker from 1970 where it's hit and miss.
One time out of ten, you get bread.
Yeah, well, I'm going to Kmart after work, aren't I?
You didn't need to do the silly voice.
New crockpot on the way.
Watch this space.
Oh, big times in the Roberts household.
Bree and Clint.
Have you donated?
And we're talking about the sperms or the eggs.
Have you done this for a stranger or maybe it was for...
To a stranger.
Have you donated for a stranger or maybe it was for... To a stranger. Have you donated for a stranger or maybe it was for a friend or family member?
Pretty amazing thing to do for someone else.
What's the process?
How did it come about?
And are you going to do it again?
Let's talk to Jess.
Kia ora, Jess.
Hi, Jess.
Hi.
Do you know someone who donated?
Yes, my dad did.
Really?
Gosh.
When was this?
So I'm 32.
I've got a younger sister who's 30 this year,
and it was just after she was born.
Okay.
Wow.
So this is obviously outside of your family.
Did he donate to strangers,
or did he donate to friends of the family?
He went to Green Lane Clinic and donated there.
Right, just anonymously?
Yep.
Wow.
Do you know if any children came of his donations?
Do you know if you've got any half-brothers or sisters out there?
I know I've got six half-sisters.
Oh, my God.
Wow.
Have you met them before?
No.
Would you ever want to, Jess?
Yeah.
Yeah.
If it came about, absolutely.
We've had one contact dad earlier this year.
He sent emails back and forth, so that's pretty exciting.
That's so cool.
That's neat.
I love that.
Okay, thanks for sharing, Jess.
It's a really good story.
Someone texted her and they said,
my cousin donated an egg for us and my sister was our surrogate.
I had cervical cancer, but it really did bring out the best in people.
That's incredible.
Yeah, wow.
That's amazing.
Someone else, I donated eggs.
Best thing I've ever done.
Yeah.
It's a pretty selfless thing to do, to give part of yourself like that.
It is amazing.
We'll talk to Katrina.
Hi, Katrina.
Hi, Katrina.
Hi, guys.
Have you donated before, Katrina?
Yes, I've donated eggs.
Oh, that's amazing.
Who did you donate to?
We donated for friends of ours.
Oh, my God, amazing.
And how did that conversation come about?
Did they ask you or did you offer?
It was sort of like a little bit of both.
We were actually,
Anne and I were in the milking shed
and she said that they had tried numerous attempts of IVF
but her eggs were no good.
Yeah, right.
So their next option was to find an egg donor
and I just said, we'll do it.
Oh my God.
My husband and I had already had a conversation a few years beforehand,
but we didn't want to do it for someone we didn't know.
Yeah.
And so all the pieces of the puzzle sort of just fell in place.
And did they make a baby from it?
Did they get to have a child?
We did.
We did.
So I've got a godson, I've got a son, and he's now 10 years old.
Oh, my gosh.
He's an athlete rascal.
Yeah.
That's incredible.
And Katrina, was it something that took a lot of time for you to think about
or you just were like, no, it's an easy decision?
No, it was a really easy decision.
It was a really easy decision.
There was lots of conversations with our two daughters
because they were a little bit older.
Right, so you had already had your kids, so you were like, yeah, okay.
Yeah, yeah.
So they were very involved in the decision of whether we did it or not
because it affects their whole life as well.
Yeah, fascinating.
And so, yeah, so Tate knows that he's got two half-sisters and extra nannies and
aunties and uncles and stuff, but he doesn't know
he's still too young to know how he came about with
all of us. Oh, Katrina, you're an amazing person. Good on you.
No, it's pretty cool. It's a pretty cool feeling. Yeah.
You see different family traits and stuff come out on both sides.
And it's sort of like when he plays up, we say, oh, that's your side.
That's your problem.
So we have a lot of laughs.
I love it.
Thanks for sharing, Katrina.
I know a lot of people listening would have taken a lot out of that.
So we appreciate it.
Awesome, guys.
Yeah.
You too.
Someone listening right now might be trying to make the decision
because it is a big decision, you know.
Oh, yeah.
It's a pretty incredible feeling.
Someone said on Shortland Street they call them dibblings, donor siblings.
Oh.
Dibblings is a good word.
Yeah.
Someone else said I've donated eggs to my best friend.
She has twins and they are 20.
I did this before I had my own children.
Before you had kids. That is incredible. Amazing.
Bree and Clint. Bree and Clint.
Here we go. The number one songs that were on the top
of the list. Top of the charts rather on your 16th birthdays.
Who are we kicking it off with? We're going to start with Glenn. Cue to Glenn. G'day Glenn.
Hey. You ora, Glenn. G'day, Glenn. Hey.
You go, Glenn Coco.
You go.
Sorry, Glenn.
I've really tried to resist.
Glenn has had that all his goddamn life break.
I'm so sorry.
You go, Glenn Coco.
Too for Glenn Coco.
Glenn what?
He never gets old.
He never gets old?
Yes, Glenn.
I like how you didn't hear Glenn laugh once,
but you continued with the joke.
Yep, because I couldn't help it.
Glenn, what's your birthday, mate?
And we'll move right along.
The 3rd of June, 1994.
All right, that means you were 16 in 2010.
And on the 23rd of June in 2010, this was number one.
Oh, absolute millennial anthem.
Young Blood, Naked and Famous.
What do you think, Glenn?
Good song, that one.
I like it. It's vibes.
You're right, haven't heard that in a while.
Love it.
Let's go to Maui.
Kia ora, Maui.
Hi, Maui.
Kia ora. How are you, mate? Yeah, good, thank you. Good to while. Love it. Let's go to Maui. Kia ora, Maui. Hi, Maui. Kia ora.
How are you, mate?
Yeah, good, thank you.
Good to hear.
What's your date of birth, mate?
My birthday is 25th of May, 1997.
Wait, 25th of May.
That was like a week ago.
Happy birthday for last week.
Thank you.
It means you were 16 in 2013,
and on your 16th birthday, this was at the top of the charts.
The original
Sam Smith banger
with Naughty Boy
that's La La La.
That was a vibe Maui.
I rate it.
I rate it.
And I haven't heard
that song in ages.
Yeah me neither.
I like it. Okay wait there we're going to do one that song in ages. Yeah, me neither. I like it.
Okay, wait there.
We're going to do one more birthday banger for Philippa.
Kia ora, Philippa.
G'day, Philippa.
Hi, how's it going?
Can we call you Pip?
Yeah, everybody calls me that.
Or Pippa.
I love it.
Pip or Pippa.
Hey, mate, what's your birthday?
15th of January, 1991.
All right, that means, Pip, you were 16 in 2007.
And on that date, this would have been number one.
Yep.
Nelly Furtado in Say It Right.
She's having a bit of a resurgence at the moment,
mainly through TikTok.
She's featuring in a few videos.
She looks great, doesn't she?
Yeah, yeah.
She's an icon.
Philippa,
question. How old do you think Nelly Furtado is?
I reckon she's maybe
38, I reckon.
38? I reckon that'd be a good
guess. I reckon a little bit older. She was number
one on your 16th birthday.
I'm going to say Nelly Furtado's 42.
Nelly Furtado
is 44.
Is she?
Oh, my goodness.
Yeah.
You look good for her age.
Yeah, you like your birthday banger, Pip?
Yes, I really do.
I like it too.
Wait there, we're going to choose between three great songs.
Some good, I like them all.
If it was a long weekend.
Any of those.
If it was a long weekend, it'd be a triple play.
Yeah, if I was putting together an early 2000s playlist,
they would all be on there.
Yeah.
I reckon this is how I'm going to pick mine.
I reckon it's the second to last day of New Zealand Music Month,
so I'm going to go with the Kiwi track,
and I'm going to go with Naked and Famous.
I'm going La La La, Naughty Boy, and Sam Smith.
Okay, we've split the vote.
We're going to go to Claudia this afternoon,
mainly because Ella only learned who Nelly Furtado was last week.
So, you know, we've got to temper it with that.
She knows the music.
Claudia, what's the winner of Birthday Banger?
You've chosen the two that I was already trying to pick between.
So pick the other one.
No, I don't like that one.
I'm going to go Naked and Famous.
I love that song.
That means Glenn.
You go, Glenn Coco.
You go.
He's over it.
He's got dodgy lines.
Sorry, Glenn, but you've won birthday banger, mate.
Nice work.
He's so excited.
He's stoked.
The phone is overwhelmed.
Yes.
Brian Clint, 2010 for your birthday bang,
and today you're on ZM.
We require certain skills.
The Lord of Change is like the wind.
Brian Clint.
I want to talk to people who have either been to a wedding
or maybe it was their wedding where the bride wore something
other than a white dress.
Oh, okay.
Could have been a coloured dress, could have been a suit,
could have been, you know, just something that wasn't traditional.
Borat Mankini?
I mean, yes.
I'd take it.
Something unconventional.
Something unconventional to the wedding.
There's a story doing the rounds at the moment about a woman
who for her whole life was always set on wearing this red dress
to her wedding.
Oh, a red wedding dress.
Yeah, I've seen the dress.
It's beautiful.
Like it's a wedding dress, but it's red.
Yeah, wow.
It's stunning.
It's beautiful.
Red, red?
Like a deep red. Like the dancing girl emoji dancing girl emoji yeah kind of like the spanish red okay yeah and it doesn't say why but she's had the dress
from when she was young yeah um she acquired the dress somehow and then she always just said i
picture myself getting married in this dress that's's what I want. She knew what she wanted, yeah. Yeah, and anyway, she got engaged,
and the man that she's marrying is from a Catholic faith.
Oh, yeah.
And she talked to him and said,
look, this is the dress I'm wearing.
Because they talked about it throughout their relationship.
And he's turned around and said,
I don't agree with that choice.
We're getting married in a Catholic church.
You cannot wear devil red.
You cannot wear that in front of the priest.
You need to wear white as it shows a religious commitment and purity.
What a ball ache.
I'd be rethinking the marriage.
It's not her religion.
Nah. She can wear
whatever she wants. It's her day.
If you're wearing whatever
you want, then she can
wear what she wants. I've only been to one
Catholic wedding. It was a
lot more formal than I was
expecting. And I was
raised, well
raised Catholic. I went to a Catholic high school.
I had a Catholic upbringing.
And even I wasn't prepared for how religious the wedding ceremony is.
I've been to a bunch of them because obviously I grew up very Catholic,
Italian family, went to Catholic church every Saturday night for many, many years.
And my sister got married in the Catholic church in our hometown,
which is the same church my mum and dad got married in. And God, the wedding, it just went on. It was a full mass
and I didn't really expect that. And I was one of the bridesmaids and I had to stand
up for the whole time. Oh, the one I went to, the priest got some chairs up the front
for the bridal party to sit down. Oh, that's not a good sign because you know it's going to go for a long time.
It's unfortunate because in any other situation,
I feel like there would be no reason why she couldn't wear a red dress.
And I still don't believe there is.
Like she could if she wanted to.
I think she can wear a red dress.
I mean, it's 2023.
But there'd be the judgment factor
and you'd just try and avoid it on your wedding day.
But yeah, wow.
I think the right thing to do would be to say to the priest, There'd be the judgment factor, and you'd just try and avoid it on your wedding day. But yeah, wow.
I think the right thing to do would be to say to the priest,
hey, I will be wearing a red dress.
I just wanted to give you a heads up, my friend, in case you were very shocked to see a bride in anything other than a white dress,
but I will be wearing the red dress.
Someone's texted in already, and they said,
I went to a wedding, and the bride wore a big lacy black black dress. Oh my God, I can't even imagine that. Yeah,
I love it. I love anything non-traditional at a wedding. I am all for it. Like a Tim
Burton movie. I just like anyone that just breaks outside that traditional kind of societal
norms. Another one, I got married in black. It was a relatively low-key wedding, but it was on Friday the 13th
and we just happened to have 13 people at the wedding as well.
Yes, I love that.
I guess a man can get married in black.
Why can't a woman get married in black?
I love it.
I want to ask people.
0800 dials at Evo.
You can text us on 9696.
It might have been you.
It might have been your wedding.
It might have been a wedding that you attended.
What did the bride wear that was quite unusual?
And maybe the groom came in something unusual as well.
We're going to start with Marie.
Kia ora, Marie.
Hi, Marie.
Hi there.
Was it you that had an unconventional dress for your wedding?
I would say everything about our wedding was unconventional.
And, yes, I had
pastel floral with gold trim on my dress. I love that. Yeah. When you're talking before about like
being brought up Catholic. So both of us were brought up Catholic and wanted to
like acknowledge that side of the family. So we went to the cathedral. But our chosen family is a little bit different.
So in our wedding party, we had the best woman.
We had drag queens as part of our wedding ceremony.
Yes, Marie.
And we talked to the priest beforehand and we're like,
hey, look, this is us.
We really want to have this ceremony here,
but this is our family and these are the people
who we were with.
And they were absolutely cool with that and they came to the party afterwards.
Oh, that's so good to hear.
That's awesome.
And like I said, it's good to be upfront about those things and that's exactly what you were.
The priest was like, thank God, all these weddings I do are so boring.
Oh, about time.
Some colour and some fun.
So my mum got married in a black dress
and she arrived at the wedding in a converted hearse.
Yes.
I mean, that is very different.
Goth mum.
Yeah.
I mean, there's a lot of those texts coming through
where people have it either on Halloween or Friday the 13th.
Yeah.
Yeah.
My friend wore a black satin dress covered in Metallica logos.
Love that.
That's cool.
It's a West Auckland wedding.
Jodie's here.
Hi, Jodie.
Hi, Jodie.
Hi there.
You wore a different kind of dress for your wedding, Jodie.
I sure did.
I wore a bright red, like a fairy tale style dress.
It was absolutely stunning.
I got it made in America and shipped over.
And yeah, it was just beautiful.
It was everything I possibly could have wanted.
Oh, I love that.
If it's not a...
Sorry, not a traditional white.
No.
I got white for my first wedding.
And it was a wedding I didn't want, whereas my second wedding I actually wanted to go through with.
Oh, good on you.
I was going all out.
And, I mean, Jodie, also great at the dinner that if you drop tomato sauce on your dress,
no one will know.
No one changed by then.
Oh, did you have, wait, did you have a dress change?
It was really heavy.
The dress weighed about 10 kg.
You're kidding me.
Do you ever wear it again?
Because I guess if it's not a normal traditional wedding dress, you're more likely to be able
to wear it somewhere else.
Well, I kind of think that the amount of money it costs,
that getting a second time or third time,
that one day I might just do some housework in it.
Why not, Jodie?
Or go to the supermarket.
Or put it on when you need to do a workout.
Ten kilos would be like wearing a weighted vest.
Literally, pop it on, do a hike.
You never know.
Let's talk to Hannah.
Kia ora, Hannah. Hi, Hannah. Kia ora, team.
How are you doing? Good, thanks, Hannah. Is this your dress that was unconventional for the wedding?
A little bit, yes. Okay. What did you wear?
I wore a gold sequin dress. Love. Most expensive dress I've ever bought in my life. And I just thought,
if I'm spending this much money on a dress
I want to wear it more than once.
I was definitely no virgin
so I wasn't going to wear one.
Yes, Hannah.
I love it.
Dare I ask how much it cost?
It was about $1,000
which in the grand scheme of things
isn't that much for a wedding dress.
No, it's not too bad.
Did you say gold sequin?
Gold sequin.
I wear that every year on my anniversary.
Oh, I love that.
Yes.
Is it like those couch cushions
where if you run your hand up them one way,
they change colour?
I should have spent more and got that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
That's amazing.
People just running their hands up and down you all night.
Hannah, did your partner, whoever you were getting married to,
did they know you weren't going to wear a white dress?
Yes, I made that very clear.
Oh, good.
I mean, you didn't have to.
It would have been a surprise.
Ta-da!
I'm in gold sequins, baby.
Love it.
Love it.
That's so cool.
Thanks, Hannah.
There's so many coming through. It turns out you can wear whatever you want's so cool. Thanks, Hannah. There's so many coming through.
Turns out you can wear whatever you want to your wedding.
Yeah, literally.
Quite literally.
Some people have gone in dress-ups.
Yeah.
Someone said, my husband wanted to come as pixies at our wedding,
so he walked up the aisle to that.
Oh, I love it.
Don't let your husband choose the theme.
He'll go silly with it.
Yeah.
I mean, if you had to choose a theme, if you had to pick one,
what would you pick for your wedding?
Like if you had to pick a theme.
Don't let me choose the theme.
No.
I'd pick the Lion King and everyone has to come as the,
like all the animals that come up to Pride Rock.
And Rafiki marries you?
Yeah, Rafiki's the celebrant and then me and my partner are the lions.
Talked about AI quite a lot in the last couple of months.
It's everywhere.
It's doing all kinds of things.
But I came across this particular piece of AI, Clint,
and it caught my attention and I think it's pretty bloody good. Okay.
So essentially what someone has done is they've taken one of the most iconic voices in history,
Frank Sinatra.
Okay.
And they have wondered what Frank would sound like singing a Little John song.
Right.
I've often wondered what Frank Sinatra would sound like doing.
I mean, he's got such a sultry, smooth, velvety voice.
Yeah.
And the song by Little John, Get Low, has very similar lyrics.
Is it convincing?
Like, would you believe that it was?
I... Because obviously Frank Sinatra did before Lil Jon ever started putting out music.
Yes, R.I.P.
I don't think you can pick.
Really?
That it's A.I.
I think it's that good.
Okay.
But you be the judge.
Here's Frank Sinatra singing a Little John song.
To the window to the wall
till the sweat
drops down my balls
till all
you bitches crawl
oh
skeet skeet god damn
Yeah, you're right.
That's indistinguishable from the real thing.
God, Frank, stop it, Frank Sinatra.
I love it.
Can we do it one more time?
Can we do it?
Yeah, maybe not.
Can we do it one more time?
Maybe not.
One was enough.
Whoa! To the window, to the wall Till the sweat drops down my balls
Till all you bitches crawl
Oh, skeet, skeet, goddamn
Why does it sound so much dirtier when Frank Sinatra does it?
I don't know, but how do we get Elvis to sing My Neck, My Back?
Oh, I'd love to hear him do that.
The king, you know?
Brie and Clint.
This Thursday, Brie and I are getting tarted up
to go to the New Zealand Radio Awards.
Yeah, it's usually the one time of the year where we look our best.
Yeah, everybody puts a bit of effort in.
They put on a free bar tab, and it's bloody good time.
Yeah, you put the effort in to look good
Because by the end of the night you look trolly
Anyway everyone's deep in prep at the moment
I got a haircut today
Thanks for noticing
You got your nails done
That's all ready to go
Yeah producer Ella and I went into the nail shop together
And got our nails done
Nails look beautiful
Thank you
And then Brie floated in our meeting today
Who's getting a spray tan for the radio awards Yeah i've booked in for a spray tan i'm treating myself because
normally i do it at my like do it at home the glove i put a glove on and yeah lather my body
up in fake tan it's quite the ordeal yeah yeah yeah you know yeah but this time you're going to
get the professionals to do it yeah i'm going to put on the paper G-string and hopefully the right way this time.
One time I went to kiss.
You did not.
And I was like, I'd never seen it before.
And I was like, what is this?
I was like, oh, I guess it goes this way.
Didn't.
Didn't go that way.
She goes, oh, I guess you've got the paper G-string on around the wrong way.
That is horrific. She goes, well, I guess, you've got the paper G-string on around the wrong way. That is horrific.
She goes, well, I guess, you know, still works.
When you say paper G-string, is it like a hair net?
Yeah, it's kind of like a hair net.
Right.
Yeah.
To keep all your hairs in.
Nah, just to, I think, cover your bits and pieces just because you don't want to get it.
I think you don't want to get it in the crevices.
Anyway, producer Ella, the idea of getting a spray tan went,
oh, no, thank you.
I will not be getting a spray tan.
You're anti-spray tan.
You don't want one, Ella.
Whoa, whoa.
I mean, you do you.
I just, I've never gotten one.
I'm not saying you need one.
Wait, wait.
You've never had a spray tan?
No, I take pride in my natural ability to tan by the sun.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
In late May.
Mate, I thought these Gen Zers were smart.
Yeah, I thought you were ozone conscious.
I thought you were bloody smart.
Mate, come into my world.
Can I take you to go get a spray tan?
It will, I'm not joking, it'll change your life.
I'll take you too, Producer Claude.
What if it's my shout?
You can all be the same
shade. You can look like the Kardashian
sisters. We can all go in the same room together
wear our paper G-strings
and they can just line us up.
You guys could look like Paris, Nicole
and Britney in 2006.
Yeah, that's the thing. I'm scared.
Guys, the thing is, spray
tanning. I had my first spray tan
when I was 15 for my semi-formal.
And let me just tell you that spray tans have come so far.
Like the technology is actually amazing now.
And you feel like a million bucks.
You feel like you can take on the world after a spray tan.
What about your fingers?
Do you get the things in your fingers?
Yeah, they kind of ask you to do like a claw
and then they kind of do a light spray
so then it's not like full on on your hands.
We did it for producer Ben one time.
We've got the spray tan tent in here at ZM
and we gave him five coats.
Do you want us to organise your spray tan?
It was just the front.
We didn't do the back.
We didn't do the back.
We got him ready for the Christchurch Cup and Show.
He looked great, can I say. He got a
compliment. Eventually he looked great.
Yeah, he had like four showers, but
he looked fantastic. I'm telling
you girls, like I'm telling you,
a spray tan, the way to go.
You said you'll shout, right? Yeah.
Will you come? Does it have to be
this week? Yeah, well the awards are on Thursday.
That's the whole point.
I'm busy this week.
Sorry.
Thank you.
I'll pass.
You're missing out.
I'll take the cash, though.
I can tell you.
Bree and Clint.
Let's get classical.
A little remix.
Someone took my job.
I had to turn your microphone off off so you didn't do it.
I was wondering why the microphones were going off.
This is Let's Get Classical, where Brie and I try and guess popular songs done in classical style.
And boy, Claudia's having a hard time finding more songs for us to do.
It's quite the mission.
I've got some good ones for you today.
Do you?
Did you find some?
I found some really fun ones today.
So the challenge in this game is,
it's not really a challenge because I'm sure you'll be able to do it.
Try and guess the song
before Bree and I figure out what it is.
Yeah, text her on 9696
when you guess the song
and what it is.
You've usually got a lot of time.
Oh yeah, we'll close the text machine
so we can't see.
Okay.
Oh, excuse you, Claudia.
Oh, sorry, what?
Yeah, we're not very good at the game.
So, yeah, I'm going to play a song that I found a classical cover of.
You just need to buzz in with your name and tell me what it is.
Okay, all right.
Here we go.
Here's your first one.
Clint. Clint. Clint. Clint.
Clint.
Clint.
It was epic.
It's not Sweet Bit Psycho, is it?
No, it's not.
Okay.
Do you want some more? Oh, free Barbie girl aqua.
Yeah.
I'm a Barbie girl in the Barbie world.
It was, my brain was like, you know what it is.
Hurry up, you know it.
There's about 20 people on the Tix machine who got it before you guys did. How did they get it?
They're such a smarter than you.
We suck at this game.
Let me listen to it now that I know what it is.
Oh, yeah, straight away.
Yeah.
Okay.
We're so bad at this game.
Well, maybe we need to listen harder.
Okay, let's concentrate.
Maybe we close our eyes.
Maybe people would listen to this while they're driving right now.
Don't close your eyes if you're driving.
Here's another one.
Brie?
Brie.
Is that Smash Mouth?
All Star?
Yeah.
That was pretty good for me.
Pretty good to know that it was called All Star.
I wouldn't have got that bit.
I don't know why I knew that.
I probably would have said the Shrek song.
Shrek song.
Yeah, there it is.
So good.
I like that one.
But do the run and hit the ground running
Did you make sense not to live for fun?
Brain gets sharp and the head gets dumb
Yeah, good.
Okay, so.
Yeah, good.
Okay, you want one more?
Bree's already won, but I'll give you one more.
I feel like we shouldn't waste it.
I feel like you need it for next week.
But I want to play another one.
I want to play another one
You've got this one Clint
I'll get this one
Focus
Hyper focus
Here you go
Alright let's get classical
Free
We Like To Party
By the Banga Boys
I crushed it this week
That's the wrong one
Hook's wrong but I know what you're saying
We Like To Party Do you know, that's the wrong one. Hook's wrong, but I know what you're saying.
We like to party.
Do you know why that's so unfortunate?
We like to party.
I'm listening to this song
four to five times a day
at the moment.
My kids are absolutely
obsessed with the Venga Boys.
I loaded this just for you.
Oh, beggar.
Can I say,
it might sound annoying
that your kids listen
to Venga Boys all day.
If you start your days with the Venga bus, it'll put you in a pretty good mood.
It's hard to not be in a good mood with this song.
I mean, it would get old after a while though, wouldn't it?
Yeah.
Luckily, they've got three or four songs.
Yeah, true.
We talk about Gen Z a lot on this show.
Because we're terrified of them.
Yeah, we're scared and we're just trying to understand.
There's two things that are coming for our job, AI and Gen Z.
Yeah, I mean.
We don't understand either of them.
Back off, Ella.
And they both take better photos than us.
I mean, it's a worrying thing.
There's a new study out today which is talking about Gen Z and how they are putting off all the things that make you an adult.
Okay.
Or what they say society says makes you an adult.
So we're talking they're putting off marriage, owning a house,
and having babies.
Well, aren't they only 21?
Give them a bit of time.
There's older ones than that.
What's the oldest Gen Z?
I think 26.
Is it?
27?
Actually, I think you're right.
Yeah, 26, 27.
Claudia likes to claim that she's the oldest Gen Z, eh, Claude?
Definitely the youngest millennial.
You want to be the youngest millennial?
See, that's good.
You're right on the cusp, aren't you?
You're 29.
Yeah, I'm 29.
Yeah.
You're on the cusp, aren't you? You're 29. Yeah, I'm 29. Yeah. You're on the cusp.
Yeah, this study's saying that Gen Z seem to be committing to more and more.
However, that commitment is mostly to animals.
It's fast-tracked for Gen Z that they are getting animals earlier than Millennials or Gen X or boomers did.
I wonder if that's a lockdown thing from two years of being stuck in the house. Yeah, so the study was done by a company called Pets at Home,
and they said COVID lockdowns and working from home caused a massive boom
in pet ownership, but it hasn't stopped, though.
So it's continued on after COVID.
A lot of Gen Zers still, yeah, getting pets.
What are you doing, Gen Z?
You can get a pet anytime.
You've got the rest of your life to get a pet.
Get out of here, man.
Go overseas.
No responsibilities, you know?
I mean, true.
The drop of a hat if someone goes, hey,
should we drive to Raglan and sleep in our cars on the weekend?
Yes, please.
You don't want to have to deal with some stupid cat that needs feeding.
A dog could go.
Yeah, but even then.
Yeah, it's a big.
It can only go so far.
It is a big responsibility.
The last statistic I'll give you is the survey found that 90% of Gen Zers, 90% said that they think of their pets as their children.
Right.
Yeah.
We have a Gen Z here.
That means she is 90% likely to agree with that.
Yeah.
She has animals.
Ella?
Yes?
Your guinea pigs?
Oh, I love them.
Are they your children?
Do you think of them as your children?
No. If it may be my cat. Put it towards love them. Are they your children? Do you think of them as your children? No.
If it may be my cat.
Put it towards my cat. What about your dog?
That's mum's, but my cat is my soul cat.
Jesus, how many animals have you got?
We've got five at home. Yeah, but she
left them all at her mum's house and she's
bugging off down to a flat.
I would love
to get some cows and
a highlander cow, a goat.
Oh, my God.
Let's just talk about dogs and cats first.
Oh, sorry.
Sorry.
And an ark and.
Honestly, it could be king.
Bree and Clint.
And that's the end of the show, everybody.
Thank you so much for joining.
Is tonight, I never know what day of the week it is.
Is tonight the Ted Lasso final?
No, that's Wednesday.
Wednesday nights.
Hump day. Last night was a succession
final. I know I'm the only one in our team
watching succession. Yeah. Anyone who
watched it, can I just say,
oh, whoa. Was it
good or bad? So good.
Really good? So good. There's nothing
worse than an underwhelming
finale. We were promised a twist
and boy, did we get a twist.
Oh, good.
Is it setting it up for a new season?
No, that's it.
It's the final, final ever.
That's it.
Last ever.
What season was it?
Five or four, yeah.
Yeah.
Well, there you go.
If you need a new series to watch...
Oh, I started from the start.
It's on Neon.
You won't regret it.
It's very, very good.
Five seasons worth.
Yeah.
Boom.
That's six sessions.
Someone messaged me who listens to our podcast,
and they're like,
I'm looking for the show that you keep talking about.
Six Sessions?
They couldn't hear it through the Kiwi accent.
They're like, I keep looking for the show.
Six Sessions.
I don't know what,
you make it sound so interesting,
but I cannot find it.
Different type of show.
Don't Google it.
We're out of here.
Have a great night, everybody.
Our podcasts go up in the next couple of minutes,
so you can get those on the iHeartRadio app
or wherever you get your podcasts,
and we'll catch you back tomorrow.
We'll see you then.
Bye.
