The ZM Podcast Network. G'day everybody, welcome to the show. Bree and Clint, no Bree today. She's off, she's not feeling well. Hopefully she'll be back with us tomorrow. Claudia, did you catch which Bunnings that was that the first seal was at? I'm going to look into it, I want to see the seal. Not that we want to cause a stampede to the Bunnings where the fur seal is.

Although they said they've already caught it and released it, eh? Yeah, they did. Imagine having a fur seal at your sausage sizzle. Imagine how many people that would bring in. How did it get there? Yeah, I know. Oh, it's in Whangarei. In Whangarei.

Yeah, right. Impressive. Have you visited a fur seal in real life? In the coast near Kaikoura, but not up close. No, you don't get close. No, no, no. Oh, amazing. Hey, good show coming up for you guys today.

We're going to kick it off with Tradie vs. Lady. 67 versus 63. If you want to play Tradie vs. Lady this afternoon, why don't you give us a call right now on 0800-DIAL-ZM. I'm looking for a tradie and a lady to go head-to-head for 50 bucks cash. Thanks to KFC. Bree and Clint. Time for Tradie vs. Lady. It's Tradie vs. Lady!

Tradie vs. Lady, where we're playing for $50 cash, thanks to KFC. Our tradies are on 63 wins for the year. The ladies are on 67. They're managing to maintain that lead. But really, really, it's pretty tight considering how far we are through the year. Over 130 games so far this year. So let's go to our lady first. She's calling from Auckland.

She's 24 and she's back for redemption. Welcome to the show, Liv. Hello. Did you go down last time, did you, Liv? Yes, I couldn't remember the name of the song from Shania Twain. Oh. So I've been listening every day. To us or to Shania Twain?

Pardon? To us or to Shania Twain? I couldn't quite catch that, sorry. No, it's okay, don't worry. Just a joke. Let's go to our tradie. He's calling from Hamilton. No, it's okay. Don't worry. Just a joke. Let's go to our tradie. He's calling from Hamilton. He's 45 years old, and he makes the best damn burgers in all of the Waikato.

Welcome to the show, Craig. How's it going? Good, Craig. How are you, mate? I'm well, and I don't listen to Shania Twain. You don't listen to Shania Twain either. Okay. No worries.

No Shania Twain questions in Tradie vs. Lady today. You'll both be stoked about that. Brilliant. Good. All right, Craig, your buzzer is Tradie. Liv, your buzzer is Lady. Whichever of you gets three questions correct first is going away with the win and the 50 bucks.

Good luck. Question number one. Thank you. Who did the All Blacks thrash on the weekend? Lady. Yes, Craig. Australia. It was Australia.

38 points to seven. An absolute hiding in Melbourne. One point to the tradies. Claudia, can you keep score? You'll keep score? Good, thank you. Question number two. Staying with sport, the football ferns are out of the World Cup

after failing to beat Switzerland last night. Did the ferns play in a black or a white strip? Lady. Craig. White. It was white, yeah. last night. Did the Ferns play in a black or a white strip? Lady? Craig. White. Was white, yeah. They should have played in the black one.

The black one is such a better strip. They might have won if they played in the black strip, I reckon. But I'm up. Coulda, shoulda, woulda.

Question number three. Two points to the tradies. In the movie Titanic, Rose survives by floating on what in the icy water? Yes, Craig. A door.

It is a door, and that's a tradie versus lady victory. Sorry, Liv. I know you had your heart set on redemption in that round. Oh, no, that was a pretty good job. That was pretty well done. It was a clean victory, Craig. We've got 50 bucks cash from KFC coming your way. Well done.

Thank you. All good. Tradies get a win. Bree and Clint. No Bree today. She's off sick. I don't want to divide the nation or get people racked up on a Monday afternoon. No, actually, I do.

I lie. I definitely do. This is a thing that we stumbled across on our podcast the other day, isn't it, Claude? Yeah, I brought the fun fact forward that David Attenborough introduced a colour. And then I said what I thought the colour was, and it just, chaos. He introduced the colour of tennis balls. Yeah. You brought this fact to us completely randomly.

But when, apparently, tennis balls used to be white. Yeah, so he was like helping to introduce colour television and was like, well, if we make them this colour... They'll be easier to see. People will be able to see when it's on or off the line. Yeah. And that's when we realised nobody knows what colour a tennis ball actually is.

You think you know the colour of a tennis ball and in your head right now you're going, what's he talking about? It's this colour. Here's the thing. Turns out everybody sees the colour of that tennis ball and in your head right now you're going, what's he talking about? It's this colour. Here's the thing. Turns out everybody sees the colour of that tennis ball differently. Like watch this.

We've got Claudia and Ella and myself and we haven't even rehearsed this. We're going to say what colour we believe the tennis ball is, okay? In three, two, one,

a tennis ball is yellow. What? Clearly yellow. Who said yellow? I green. What? Clearly yellow. Who said yellow? I said yellow. You said yellow. And what did you say?

I said fluorescent green. And I said green. Yeah. Just green. Just green. Yellow. Yeah, it's like bright. It's not like a sunshine yellow, but it's in the realm of yellow.

Neon yellow? Yeah. Green. It's definitely a neon colour. I'm closer to Ella. Tennis balls are green, right, Ella? Yes, they are, but it feels weird saying green because you think of a tree and you're like,

that's not green. I've been doing some research into this. Okay, the shade of a tennis ball, according to the International Tennis Federation, is officially called optic yellow. Okay? Ooh, I'll take that. You'll take that.

But wait. If you Google Optic Yellow, the colour Optic Yellow, the online colour encyclopedia Colour Hexa You're not going to say. describes Optic Yellow as fluorescent yellow or electric lime. What? But lime is green. Lime is green. What?

The online colour encyclopedia describes optic yellow as electric lime. That doesn't make sense. None of this makes sense, Claudia. This is what we've done. We've stumbled onto a version of what colour is the dress, but everybody has seen this item their entire life. They've held this item their entire life. There's some, no one's

really explained what it is. No. But there's some science that says that your eyes use colour corrections to see stable colours. Like they can't see something that's two in between. So some people's eyes discount cool

colours and then they'll see the tennis ball as yellow or your eyes may discount warm colours and then you see it as green. But here's the thing. We've never talked about it. We've never talked about what colour a tennis ball is. So we want to open the phone lines right now. We're running a poll on our Instagram account

that you can go and vote on right now. It's in the Bree and Clint Instagram story. But if you think for sure you know what colour a tennis ball is, could you call us? Just briefly. It won't take long. 0800 dial ZM. I just want to know what colour is a tennis ball? To you, in your mind, without googling it, what colour is a tennis ball?

Just need some people to call and say yellow. Or green. Just definitely yellow. Just whatever it is. Whatever it is in your mind. Bree and Clint. What colour is a tennis ball? Which which on the face of it if you weren't listening four minutes ago might sound like the dumbest question ever but it ain't nobody it turns out can agree on what color a tennis ball actually is for the record i say a tennis ball is green and i've always said green i've always said green it's like a felty green like the grass and

the turf that they play tennis on claud, according to you, a tennis ball is? Yeah, naturally I just said yellow. Out of the top of your head, right? Yeah. You're not trying to be controversial. No. You say it is yellow. Yeah, and it definitely is yellow.

Ella, you're very easily swayed in these conversations. Are you leaning more yellow or more green in this situation? No, I'm green, but I'm saying fluorescent green. Yeah, we've had a text from someone who says, I'm colour blind to the colour green, but I'd definitely say it's yellow. Yeah, well you would. That's the thing. Someone said it's highlighter greeny yellow.

Now that doesn't help us at all in this situation. We've been running an extensive poll through Instagram and our Instagram story on Brianne Clint, which you can still vote on, but first let's go to the people. We're going to go live to Cara. Hi Cara. Have you ever considered that a tennis ball might not be the colour that you think it is? on Brianne Clint, which you can still vote on. But first, let's go to the people. We're going to go live to Cara. Hi, Cara. Kia ora.

Have you ever considered that a tennis ball might not be the colour that you think it is, Cara? Cara? No, I've always thought it's highlighted green. Highlighted green. So tennis ball is green to you? Yeah, it is. It is green.

No, it's not up for debate. It is green. Full stop. It is green, not yellow. What do you say to people who say it's yellow? Colourblind. Colourblind, okay. Thanks, Kyra.

Let's go to Elliot now. I know 800 dials at him. Hi, Elliot. Hi, how are you doing? Yeah, we're good. What colour is a tennis ball, Elliot? 100% yellow. Yes, Elliot.

100% yellow? Like yellowy yellow? Yellow, yellow. Like yellow like a lemon yellow? Lemon like a yellow. Lemon like a. Like yellow like a lemon yellow. Lemon like a yellow. Lemon like a yellow. Yellow like a lemon. No.

Yellow like a lemon. Lemon like a yellow. That is. See, I. There's a credibility here. I can understand. I can understand a little bit of discrepancy, but I cannot. I cannot endorse a man who sees a tennis ball as lemon yellow.

Yellow like a lemon. It cannot be green. There's no way it's green. But it is green. It's great. But it's not yellow like a rubber duck or anything. Well, we'll agree to disagree, Elliot, and that's what this poll is for.

You're arguing this one a lot. Did you? Yeah, I know. Did you ever think that people saw it different to you? Did you ever think there was any debate about what colour a tennis ball was? No, I never thought about it. I was like, if everyone thinks it's yellow, yeah, no worries, move on. No, I never thought about it. I was like, everyone thinks it's yellow.

Yeah, no worries, move on. No, everyone thinks... Yeah, I know. Okay, we've really uncovered something. Please put Elliot down in the lemon like a yellow column. We're going to go to Byron. Hi, Byron. Hey, team.

What colour is a tennis ball, Byron? You know that they're green. Yes, I know they're green. Thank you very much. Good stuff. Absolutely green. What do you say to someone who says it's as yellow as a lemon? Is the grass yellow as a lemon too?

That's where I base my colour perception off. But it doesn't look like grass. It looks like tennis grass to me. It looks like the court of Wimbledon. They're very different colours. Turf grass. Yeah. A little bit of sun.

They go a bit yellow. A little bit burnt. Thanks, Byron. We're going to go to Ellen on our 100 dials at M. Hi, Ellen. G'day. This is turning into a hot button topic, Ellen. Are you ready to wade into this?

Are you willing to nail your tennis ball colours to the mast? Absolutely. All right. What colour is a tennis ball, Ellen? First, I'm going to say Elliot, I got your back, mate. It is lemon yellow. No, no, no, no, no. No, no, no, no, no, Ellen. No, we're deplat say, Elliot, I got your back, mate. It is lemon yellow. No, no, no, no, no. No, no, no, no, no, Alan. No, we're

deplatforming, Alan. I'll tell you what, let's just all stop using the yellow balls and use the pink ones. They're a lot better. Oh, that's a good idea. I didn't know there were pink balls. Are they a thing in tennis, are they, Alan? They're blue. You're blind. All right, we're putting

him down for, It was green. We're putting you down in the green column. Is that right, Alan? Lemon yellow. Charlie's here. Hi, Charlie. G'day, team. Did you know that this was such a big debate, Charlie?

Well, I mean, just until now, man. I'm kind of wrecking my brain, but, like, yeah. I want you to visualise a tennis ball in your mind right now. You will have seen them a thousand times. You would have played with them at school. You might have thrown one to your dog. You might have even played backyard cricket with one. In your mind, without Googling it, Charlie, what colour is a tennis ball?

In my mind, I'm visualising it right now. Yeah. It's coming to a yellow man. No. Yes, Charlie, yes. The build-up for that. I'm visualising it right now Yeah It's coming to a yellow man No Yes Charlie Yes Don't build up for that I thought I heard in Charlie's voice That he was on my side

Not that it even matters Okay we'll put you down for yellow Okay Charlie Awesome good stuff man Thank you so much We've polled the nation On our Instagram And this is going to remain open

For the rest of the show But Claudia early votes What are we looking at? We have a very clear leader. Do we? Very clear leader. Okay, this needs another one of these. In the question, what colour is a tennis ball?

61% yellow. Did you put a picture of a tennis ball on there? I did. Did you alter the shade of it at all? That is a green tennis ball. That's a yellow tennis ball. That is a green tennis ball. Well, the people are saying that it's yellow.

There you go. Take that one home. Start a fight with your family this afternoon. I don't want to keep the fight going. I don't want to get people angrier, but I just want to revisit the tennis ball thing for a second because the text is still streaming in. We haven't reached any kind of consensus

on what colour a tennis ball is. Over 1,500 votes on the Instagram poll so far on what colour the tennis ball is. Is a tennis ball is. Over 1500 votes on the Instagram poll so far on what colour the tennis ball is. Is a tennis ball green or yellow? That's a question we posed about 15 minutes ago. Someone's texted and they said to us you've totally screwed with my mind this afternoon. I was on

Clint's side. Tennis balls are green but I've been following an ambulance and thinking that an ambulance is a very similar colour to what I picture a tennis ball is. And everyone knows that ambulances are yellow. So now I'm thinking, are ambulances green or are tennis balls yellow?

This is what I'm getting at. This is where I don't want to promote conspiracy theories, simulation theory. I don't want to go too deep on this thing whatsoever, but I just feel like there are answers that need to be had. Because in my mind, you will not convince me that a tennis ball is yellow. You just won't.

You can't. One of the arguments you put forward earlier was that it's the same colour as the grass at Wimbledon. Yes. And someone in the text made a very good point. Why would they make the tennis ball the same colour as the grass? So you know when it hits the line. But you can't see it.

No, but you're meant to see the line. But they've made it yellow, so it stands out. Oh yeah, it hits the grass more than it hits the... Well, that was a bad example. Take that one off the table. Okay. Someone said I sell tennis balls and they're definitely 100% yellow. Someone said fluorescent yellow. A lot of lemon yellow coming in.

No, it just isn't. It just isn't. And someone said, I asked my dog what colour a tennis ball is, and he said it's yellow. So someone's two-year-old says it's yellow. Oh, I asked my, it just. It just is yellow. No, it's not.

The people have spoken, and the people have said yellow. We're at 61% yellow, 39% green on the Instagram poll on Brian Clint on Instagram. If you would like to have your say. Brian Clint. Right now, it's time for the later. From iHeartRadio, this is the latest live from LA with Dean McCarthy. Now, a man in Hollywood, Dean McCarthy, is here.

Dean, there's been some images released from Zac Efron's new television show. Oh, so cool. It's based, it's like an 80s wrestling drama called The Iron Claw. It's actually loosely based off the Von Rich Brothers. They were kind of like huge professional wrestling royalty for years. And so they've

now made this movie actually with Zac Efron as a starter. You need to go and look at this online. And I have to say, Cleen, if they need to borrow a wrestling one-piece, I have one from Halloween. So if they, you know, if the props department need a little save, a few dollars, I go and make it land. The guys look amazing, and this should be so cool.

Zac Efron, very pumped up. You know, I interviewed him once, and he was so pale, Quinn. I was so surprised. But he doesn't like the sun, and every time you see him tanned, it's a fake tan. He stays well out of the sun, and he doesn't always enjoy having to get so physical for these roles. Like, he gets so jacked up, but it's hard on them,

and they get exhausted and depleted. Zac Efron doesn't like tanning. I thought he was, like, the most tan guy I've ever seen. Zac Efron doesn't like tanning. I thought he was the most tan guy I've ever seen. That's revelation. That's interesting. Yeah, it's not real. Yeah, he actually stays out of the sun. He's very, very pale. Extremely pale. But they tan him up

for all the movie roles and everything and he doesn't like getting jacked up for those movies. They kind of get over it, don't they, Clint? Like after years of pumping up and... Yeah, I'm sure you would. Yeah. Yeah, they get over it. But he looks amazing in? Like after years of pumping up and, you know, chicken breast and all that. Yeah, they get over it, but he looks amazing in this one. The guy from The Bear,

the main chef out of the TV show The Bear, which is on Disney+, is in this wrestling show as well. What I will say about Zac Efron is the plastic surgery that he has had done to his face. Remember those pictures came out last year? It's very evident in the stuff for this new TV show. Zac Efron genuinely looks like a different person now

after the changes he has made to his face. It's quite striking, isn't it? Yeah, it is. Now, didn't he come out saying that it was because he, like it was like reconstructive because he broke something? Yeah. Oh, no. Yeah.

Yeah. Anyway, it looks interesting. Still hot. Yeah, it's still hot. That's? Yeah. Oh. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Anyway, it looks interesting. Still hot. Yeah, it's still hot. That's the latest. Bree and Clint. I'm asking you to make everybody who is not having a hot girl summer in Europe or Bali or wherever you're travelling to at the moment, make them and us feel better by telling us

how awful your trip really was. You know? Give us your European, Balinese, whatever continent, whatever place you travelled to, give us your horror stories this afternoon. Sally's called up. Hi, Sally. Hi. What happened?

Where were you? Well, it was just Australia, not quite as tropical, but still, compared to Dunedin, it's tropical. I'd take it. I'd take it. Yeah, I'd take a trip to Australia right now. Yep, and it was our first trip overseas with the kids, so I think one might have been like seven, one was nine, or roundabout, and we get there, and the next day we wake up, and

my daughter goes, oh, I don't feel very good. I feel real woozy, and I'm a bit itchy, and she got the chicken cock. No! Yep. On the first day of of how long was the holiday? How long was the? Seven days. Seven days. And I haven't had chicken pox since I was a kid so I don't remember. How long did chicken pox last for? Seven days. Seven days! We had to get a doctor's certificate to be able to fly home. Yeah, they wouldn't have let you on the plane, would they? Yeah. So, no, we got one.

They had crusted over enough that we managed to get back home. Oh, yeah. Yeah, that was cool. Did you all get it? Did all the kids get it? No, they'd already had it. The rest of us had had it. But we thought, what a disaster.

We'll save up and go back the next year to try and make up for it. Because we had to just take turns with the other kid going out in the afternoon and lying where we'd been. Got to Australia and then my husband got the man flu. So almost worse than chicken pox. I can tell you from lived experience, man flu is much worse than chicken pox. Yeah, it was terrible. Yeah, seven days at least in bed for that.

See, Sally, don't even go on holiday. This is the cautionary tales we were looking for this afternoon, you know? We did just get back from Fiji with no illness. We made it through an entire holiday without any illness. No, sorry. We can do it. I'm sorry, that's not the stories we're looking for this afternoon. Yeah, I'm sorry about that.

That kind of skews the data a little bit. But thank you. I appreciate the call. Let's go to Georgia. Hi, Georgia. Hi, Georgia. Hi, how are you? I'm good. What happened with your niece?

Oh, it's with my niece. So her and her boyfriend and three little kitties went on a very flash snowboarding trip in Oz. So they drove the 20 hours there. They had four days in beautiful accommodation. And day one, she was off having a bit of a snowboard and did one run videotaping it, didn't do very well. The second one, she broke her arm really bad, just above the wrist. And yeah, she was by herself at the time, so she had to phone up to be rescued, and then they x-rayed it, put a cast on, so that cost $1,000 alone.

Oh, okay. The way they spent, with so much money on the accommodation. They stayed there for four days when she was supposed to be operated on three to five days. Just so they could eke out the money they'd spend on the hotel. She skipped the surgery. She spent a lot of time resting while

the boyfriend was looking after the kids. You know, she's got lots of Instagram pictures of her sitting around, whatever. And then they drove the 20 hours back up. And then when they got up to Brisbane, her arm was broken even worse than it was at the beginning because of all the traveling and the bumping. Anyway, she had a surgery, a plate and nine pins put in. And then now she's in the cast and she'll be having physio.

That doesn't sound fun at all, Georgia. That doesn't sound like a holiday. Don't go to ski resorts. Just don't do it. Sounds like a great reason to stay home. Thank you. I really appreciate the call. Someone's texted and they said,

just before a 24-hour bus ride in India, my boyfriend got drunk and he ate a late-night street food fish curry. He had to spew into a 1.5 litre bottle and also pooped his pants on the overnight bus. Between that and trying to get your spew down the tiny little hole. You imagine right now trying to spew

into the small hole of a Coke bottle. It's just... And that's what everybody who's in Europe, that's what they're not posting on their Instagram story. That's the stuff that's definitely happening to them. They're just not posting about it. So you're good. Enjoy work. I asked you the question before,

are you allowed to drink drive a ride-on lawnmower? Like, where's the line? If the blades are not engaged, is it okay to ride a lawnmower home from the pub? Well, to answer that question, we need to go across the Dutch to Australia. Where police have charged a man with high-range drink driving after he allegedly rode a ride-on lawnmower

almost four times over the legal limit over the weekend. Yeah, he was steamed. He's 51 and he was pulled over by a police car at 1am while he was driving down the middle of the road. There was nobody on the road. It looked like quite a quiet, maybe even country road. It was in Queensland, like rural Queensland. I'm not excusing it.

I'm just describing the scene for everybody at the moment. And he did pull over when the whoop, whoop, whoop went. The man willfully pulled his right on lawnmower over to the side of the road. There's some audio here of the police officer who has intercepted the man. They have taken out the man's responses. So you'll only get to hear the police officer.

But this is a man, four times over the legal limit, riding a ride-on lawnmower. What are you doing? Roadside on a ride-on lawnmower, 17 horsepower, red beast. How much alcohol you had to drink tonight? Not at one o'clock in the morning

and not drunk. Now require a specimen of breath for a breath test. It's a breath testing device. Blow it continuously and directly until I say stop. Big deep breath and commence blowing. Stop. You got him that time. No, you're not going anywhere.

Yeah, he failed. He did not pass the breath test. He was arrested. I don't know what they did with the lawnmower in that situation because, well, it doesn't really matter. They took him away. He said, in the bit that they cut out that you can't hear, when the police officer says to him,

what are you doing? His response was, I'm on my way to mow my daughter's lawn. And the police officer said, not at one o'clock in the morning, you're not. And not drunk, you're not. So yeah, for the record, if anybody was wondering, I'm not sure that they were, if anybody was wondering, no, you can't ride a ride-on lawnmower drunk.

It got me thinking about those oldies though, that you see heading home from the pub on those mobility scooters. They don't have blades, but effectively the same setup. It's just an electric version of a ride-on lawnmower. Can they get DIC'd on one of those mobility scooters? Do you know, Ella? No, I've seen this somewhere and I cannot remember for the life of me, but someone said they got a mobility scooter for that reason, so they won't get a DUI. I think it was on Guy Williams. I think it was on New Zealand Today. Yes, you're right.

So maybe there's a loophole which, I mean, don't encourage that. No, we're not actively out here trying to find ways to flout the drink driving rules. Every time a story comes up like this, you have somebody say, well, can I ride a horse home drunk from the pub? Because as long as the horse

isn't drunk, can I do that? And I've done as much digging as I can. I think the answer is still no. I don't think you can get done for DIC, but you can get done for drunken disorderly. So what am I going to do with my horse now? You're going to have to put that horse in an Uber. Time for a birthday banger.

Free and Clint. You call up and give us your birthday. Time for a birthday bang now. You call up and give us your birthday. We tell you the number one song on your 16th birthday and the best one gets played out in full. Full disclosure, Bree's off sick today, so I'm going to have to do all of the math on the fly.

and then you've got to answer all the questions about the open home on the weekdays. What day do you take off? I take Friday, Saturday off, but I just do the photos and the video, but I had a whole bunch of videos to shoot on Sunday. Yeah, right. All right. Grind on. Let's do your birthday banger.

What's your date of birth, Lise? The 19th of February, 1996. Okay, you were 16 on the 19th of February in 2012. And on that, your 16th birthday, this was the number one song. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Stand a little taller. Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone. This was the number one song. Banger. Kelly Clarkson. I love that song.

Yeah, it's good, eh? Yeah. Kelly Clarkson's a real guilty pleasure. Her catalogue is solid. And they're all like big sing-along feel-good anthems, eh? Yeah. Yeah. Okay, wait there.

We're going to do one more birthday banger for Luke. Kia ora, Luke. Hey, mate. How you going? Going good. How was your weekend? Oh, yeah, it wasn't too bad. Just renovations and a bit.

Sounds good. All right, let's do your birthday banger. What's your date of birth, Luke? 24th of the 9th, 1987. 1987. Okay, that means you were 16 on the 24th of September 2003. And on your 16th birthday, this was number one. Black Eyed Peas, not with Fergie, with Justin Timberlake.

And Where Is The Love? Are you into it? Could you do some renovation? Knock down a non-load-bearing wall to some black eyed peas, Luke? Oh, yeah, probably could, couldn't I? Yeah. Okay, wait there.

We're going to figure this out. Claude, you do the vote with me today? Oh, yeah, I'd love to. Kelly Clarkson, Soulja Boy, black eyed peas. What are we going with? Well, you were saying Kelly Clarkson's a guilty pleasure. Yeah. And I think she's just a pleasure, full stop.

There's no guilt, so I'm voting for Kelly Clarkson. You're going to vote Kelly Clarkson? I really like that. I really like that Black Eyed Peas song. That is a great song. I like to rap to that song, so. Yeah. But I'm sticking with Kelly.

I agree with you. It's going to Lisa. Congratulations, Lisa. You're the winner of Birthday Banger this afternoon. Yay! Turn it up. Coming out of 2012, here's Kelly Clarkson on ZM.

You know the bed feels warmer Sleeping here alone ZM, Bree and Clint. ZM, Bree and Clint. That's the winner of birthday banger today from Kelly Clarkson. It's stronger. Bree's off today. she's not feeling well.

Hopefully back on deck with us tomorrow. This news is everywhere. I think it's actually gone around the world, which is, it's kind of unfortunate, but at the same time, look, it is what it is. The Spanish women's football team, here in New Zealand for the FIFA World Cup, though, in the pools that are being played here in New Zealand,

have reportedly ditched their base in Palmerston North after they became too bored. Palmerston North was the home base for the Spanish team for the World Cup. They had incredible facilities to train at. They were training at Massey University Sports Institute. They had state-of-the-art facilities to train there with. But because they were based out of Parmy,

it meant they were travelling back and forth. They travelled to Auckland for one of their games. They travelled to Wellington to one of their games. But according to ESPN, the city's, quote-unquote, lack of things to do has, quote, taken its toll on the players and their families. And they have decided to boost it early and head down to Wellington. Now, they are playing in Wellington tonight. They play at Sky Stadium in Wellington at 7 o'clock tonight.

They're taking on Japan. But this news came out on the weekend. This news came out late Friday, early Saturday that they'd gone, you know what? We're not doing another weekend in Palmy. We're going to head to the capital. Which, look, it's savage. You know, it's savage. But I mean, fair, fair.

You wait your whole life to play in a football World Cup. This is the pinnacle of these players' careers. Yeah, you wait your whole life to play in a football World Cup. This is the pinnacle of these players' careers. This is the biggest event in their discipline. And then you get billeted in Palmerston North. I reckon Palmerston North feels a long way from Spain. Do you feel like that's a fair statement, Claudia? Do you feel that's a... Yeah, I mean, I've never been to Spain,

but I imagine there's a bit more going on during the evenings. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because don't they have a siesta and then restart? Yeah, and they eat late. Stay up real late. They eat late. And we have love for Palmerston North on the show. We took the Venute tour to Palmerston North.

We've had some great times in Palmerston North. But it's not Spain. You know, it's not. Not quite. It's close, but not quite. The mayor of Palmerston North, Grant Smith, has invited the team back. He said, come back. I'd be happy to show

the Spanish team a night out in Parmy. And he's also said it would be his shout if they go out. It's his shout. So. I'd be keen. Yeah, I'm not sure the Spanish team can afford a night on the piss in Parma mid-world, maybe when they win, maybe if they win. Yeah, what do they even want to be

doing? Aren't they supposed to be like training and camp? There's an argument that a boring city is the perfect backdrop and the Spanish team are doing very well in the football World Cup. Maybe this is the situation, maybe the more boring the place. Not that I'm saying Palmerston North is boring. Maybe since they've left, they're not going to do as well.

Time will tell. They said it's not true, by the way. They said they wanted to be closer to the stadium. But the reports are that they were mind-numbingly bored by their time in Palmerston North and they had to go. Stink. Is that fair? Is that a fair thing to say about the bustling metropolis in Palmerston North and they had to go. Stink. Is that fair? Is that a fair thing to say

about the bustling metropolis of Palmerston North? Is it New Zealand's most boring town? Or have they got it completely wrong and there's way more boring places? By comparison, is Palmerston North the New York City of the North Island? I don't know. I thought this afternoon we could really put it out there

and try and figure out what is New Zealand's most boring town. Maybe you lived there. Maybe you had to commute there for work. Maybe you were raised there and you never went back. Maybe you're stuck there right now. Where is it? Tell us on 0800 dials at M. Call up or you can put

your case through on text message 9696. I'm wondering if this afternoon once and for all can we decide where is the most boring town or city? Let's not leave cities out of this. Auckland, Christchurch, all up for grabs. Although I don't think it's going to come in that way but they're up for grabs. What is it? New Zealand's most

boring place. Let's put the list together together rumours swirling around the globe that the spanish women's football team have abandoned palmerston north their home base for the fifa world cup because it's quote unquote too boring uh mind numbingly so the report from espn said the boredom was taking a toll on the players and the fans. The Spanish team have denied it. They said no, we just wanted to be closer to the stadium in Wellington. So conflicting reports. But either way it begs the question, what

is New Zealand's most boring town or city? Is it Palmerston North? Or is it somewhere else altogether? Someone sticks in and they said, hey, I live in Palmerston North and it's awesome, but don't tell anyone. We don't want any more people here,

which means this press is probably exactly what you need. If you're looking to make Palmerston North New Zealand's best-kept secret, then perfect. Let ESPN globally report that the Spanish women's football team abandoned it for boredom. That's what you want. Zoe, you've got firsthand experience in Parmy

and you've got an opinion. What is it? Well, I unfortunately have to agree with the Spanish. When my uni friends and I all heard the news, we had a great laugh because we said, well, fair enough. Hang on, how long did you spend living in the great town of Palmerston North? I spent four years. Four years? Okay, and what do you do for fun in Palmerston North? I spent four years. Four years? Okay, and what do you do for fun in Palmerston North? What's the most exciting thing you did

during your time in Palmerston North? I suppose going out to the Daily. Going to the Daily? Yeah, that's one of the pubs. Okay, and you reckon that's what the mayor would do on his night out with the Spanish team, take them to the Daily? I wouldn't have a clue what he would do.

Yeah. Okay, all right, we'll put you down for Palmerston North. Ruthless. Let's go to Tony, who's on 0800 dials at him. G'day, Tony. Hey, Clint. How are you? I'm good, man.

What is it? What is New Zealand's most boring town or city? So I think it's Waimate, because I had to go and work there for two weeks, and literally there was only a few takeaway shops. There was no gym, no pool, no sauna, no nothing. And why, Matty? Yes, that's correct. A lot like a ghost town, you know?

Is there a pub? Is there a pub where people go to hang out, surely? I think there's like a little pub, but I don't go to a pub. I'm a gym person, you know? A gym guy, yeah, true. A lot of these places, the only thing to do is socialise is drinking, and I guess if you don't want to get on the piss,

then maybe there's not much for you to do, Tony. Exactly, you know, or a sauna or something like that. A sauna, okay. All right, I'm probably asking a bit much for why, Matty, but we appreciate it. Someone said, Hamilton is a boring... Oh, Hamilton always gets it, don't they? Hamilton, born and raised, 100% New Zealand's most boring city.

I've had some excellent nights out in Hamilton recently. I went to the Chiefs final in Hamilton. I mean, I drove home straight afterwards, but it was great. It was an excellent time. Alan's here. G'day, Alan. G'day, Alan. Yeah, g'day, mate.

How's it going? Yeah, we're good. What's New Zealand's most boring town or city, Alan? Takapau slash Waipakaro. Waipakaro. Remind me where Waipakaro is. Just up from Danny Burke. Okay, yeah.

And what's so boring about it? Oh, there's absolutely bugger all here to do. Unless you're into sheep, there's a lot to do. Do you live there, Alan? Do you live there at the moment? No, no, no. I'm here for work. What do you do for work?

Engineering. Okay. All right. And how much time do you spend in Waipukaro? We've spent probably way too long here at the moment. It's the last off and on since Christmas. Okay. We'll put a vote down for Waipukaro.

Thank you very much. What are you doing for fun in Waipukaro tonight? I'm just at the bottle store at the moment. You see exactly what I was saying before. This is what we... You're going to watch Japan versus Spain. You're going to watch Japan versus Spain. There you go.

There's something to do. Yeah. Yeah, on. Okay, thank you very much. Lots of texts. Invercargill would... Okay. Would dull a happy man if he ever set foot in that place.

I only worked there for eight months. Oh, come on. Invercargill's got Invercargill's. You can drive to Bluff from Invercargill. You can get a free education at SIT in Invercargill. Can't you go on the diggers at Invercargill? You can go on the diggers. They're building that new shopping centre in Invercargill.

They have a motorbike museum. There's great pubs in Invercargill. Kiriyama is here. Hi, Kiriyama. Hi, mate. What's the most boring town or city in New Zealand? For me, Hamilton.

You reckon Hamilton as well? Oh, yeah, of course. Do you live there? Nothing for our kids, mate. I'm all about the kids, you know, our babies. Yeah.

And there's nothing here for them, apart from parks all over the place. There's nothing, there's nothing for kids to do in Hamilton. Yeah, it's bugger all.

They've got to pull their slug outdated. Yeah. Yeah, that's one brilliant thing that they probably think that is good here. But apart from the Chiefs,

the mightiest rugby team in New Zealand. That's right, go the Chiefs. And the all-black game and, you know, in poker nights. Yeah.

It's just boring. Are you going to any Football World Cup games in Hamilton, Kiriyama? Well, I was going to go to the Swedes one, but I went to a poker tournament in Wellington instead. Okay, thank you very much. We appreciate it. There are a lot of messages coming in for Huntley. People saying, if you think Hamilton is bad, you haven't been literally 15, 20 minutes up the road for Huntley. People saying, if you think Hamilton is bad, you haven't been

literally 15, 20 minutes up the road to Huntley. Poor old Huntley, and now they've built their bypass, so you don't even go there anymore. You don't even go, unless you intentionally want to go and see the Decker sign or the New Zealand Taj Mahal, that power station, the coal power station,

there's nothing, or KFC, they have a very good KFC in Huntly, but yeah. Yeah, there you go. Okay, well, look, there's a lot of work-ons, I guess, a lot of things to be gained. But the Spanish team are playing in Wellington tonight. They have relocated to Wellington. They're taking on Japan. That's at 7 o'clock if you'd like to watch that.

I've got a question. For anybody who has ever moved house before or flat or whatever it is. You've moved into somewhere where people have lived in the place before you. My question is, how long do I have to keep collecting and saving the previous people's mail for? I don't mean courier packages. I mean letters in the mail. These might be phone bills. They might be bank statements. They could be anything because you just don't know. It's just an envelope that has my address, but the people who lived there before me's name on there. Claudia,

how long do I have to keep this? I would say, I would say generous as a month. Like, really? They've moved out. They can deal. Yeah, I agree.. Really? They've moved out. Really? They can deal. A month. I agree. I agree that they've moved out. It's their responsibility.

A month seems harsh to me. That's four whole weeks. It's only one billing cycle. Yeah, that's fine. Okay, Ella? Yeah, I was going to say a year or six months. A year. A year feels long.

The reason I say that is i have just i'm coming up one year in the house that we live in now and i'm still getting letters for the people who lived there beforehand what are you doing with them are you collecting them so yes i have a space on the bookshelf where i just put them but they didn't give us a forwarding address they didn't tell us where they were moving to. Not that they needed to but I mean if they want their mail they possibly should have.

But even if I did know like I could send this pile of letters off to them. Expensive. Yeah, at my cost I could forward that on but more letters are just going to keep showing up. What I did when I moved into my house was you write return to sender and then you say not at this address.

And then you've done your due diligence. That is admin on my part as well, though. That's true. I then have to go to a post box or a post office and do that thing. It's right near work. Yeah, there's actually one just outside our office. We just walk out there. Yeah, actually, there's one right across the room.

But that is beside the point, okay? Don't use me as the example. I'm talking the proverbial I or... Maybe I'm being too harsh, but I feel like you've been there for a year. Yeah. They obviously don't need the letters that they're getting. No, that's true.

I mean, it's hard because you're going to... Unless they do. Unless it's like, this is your final warning. If you do not reply to this message, yeah, you will be arrested. I don't know how to make them stop, but I feel like you've just been them. No, and so that's the bit that feels

like I can't bring myself to do it. Do you have a fireplace? I can't bring myself to throw unopened mail in the fire. Like if I was going to burn it, I would almost feel the need to open it and check that it wasn't important. No, but you can't do that, can you? Someone's just texted and said, we got

mail from previous owners for 10 years. No, but you can't do that, can you? Someone's just texted and said, we got mail for previous owners for 10 years. Yeah, mum still gets letters. She's been in her house for 18 years. Far out. 18 years and she's still getting... Maybe a bit longer. She's still getting mail for the... Yeah, 20 years.

That's your future. And what does she do with it? Well, nothing now. It's been 20 years. It's been 20 years. Does she throw it in the bin? Ah, yeah. Your mother, a good God-fearing woman,

is willing to throw the mail in the bin. Well, yeah, it's God-fearing woman, is willing to throw the mail in the bin. Well, yeah, it's been 20 years. Then I'm willing to throw the mail in the bin as well. But it's been a year. Unless the previous owners are listening to this broadcast right now and you'd like some mail, there's a lot of mail. It's like a fistful of letters. Maybe you should start making bricks out of them

and then build a fort. Someone said, I've never held on to any mail ever I just throw it away straight away. My house now. Both of our producers are here so there are three people in the room right now. Allegations have emerged over the weekend

of bad guinea pig mumming. Sorry, I don't want to gender this because we've got to keep this thing anonymous, don't we? Of bad guinea pig husbandry, I guess you would say. Bad guinea pig parenting, okay? The person accused of being a bad guinea pig parent has only agreed to join us on the show this afternoon through the means of a voice changer

so we will not name them but uh bad guinea pig parent can you say hello to the audience hello hello hi tell us what happened over the weekend for you to be tarred with the bad guinea pig parent brush well so I went to my flat after not being there for maybe like a night or two and I go check on my guinea pigs and one isn't in there because I left the door open. The latch.

And I feel terrible. I want to cry. You left the latch open on your guinea pig hut? Yeah, and one got out. Clearly it got out. But I'm not a bad mom. I take good care of them. I just forgot.

Okay, so where is it, the guinea pig? I don't know. It's gone. Where have you looked for the guinea pig? I've looked at my neighbours. I looked around my house. I can't really go under it. We put it on the Facebook page.

Yep. Yeah, I think she got Asian by Pukiko. Okay, okay, okay. Okay, that's okay. We can deal with this. Claudia, don't laugh. Okay, don't laugh. Okay, we're keeping this anonymous.

We're not going to name the person who is currently snorting like a guinea pig at the thought of their own guinea pig being missing. Claudia, are there any questions you would like to ask the person who is currently snorting like a guinea pig at the thought of their own guinea pig being missing. Claudia, are there any questions you would like to ask the person who's remaining anonymous as to where their guinea pig is, how this could have happened? What does your guinea pig look like in case someone sees it?

Great question, Claudia. Great question. Yeah, that's good. Okay, she is really black and fluffy. I miss her. Aw. Yeah, she's really cute and quite shy. And any poo kickers in the area have black and white fur around their beak?

Any, I don't know, I don't know. I don't know how we deal with this. I don't know. It's safe to say I think she just went to guinea pig heaven and I feel terrible. Yeah, that's all. What steps are you taking to ensure the safety of the one remaining guinea pig? So I really make sure that it's really, well, the door's shut, first of all.

I've closed the hutch. What do you say to allegations that you left the door open intentionally because you're sick of raising guinea pigs in a flat? They're a silly pet to have for a young person that's too hard to maintain them in a flatting situation. What do you say to those allegations? I say I hear you and yes it can be hard at times but once you commit, you commit. And I committed.

And now I have one. One down, one to go. Clint. Don't say my name we're not trying to name, we're trying to keep this a secret. Okay, there we go. Trial over. I wonder who it was. I guess we'll never know. Which member of the Bree and Clint team

were Bree away and Claudia and I asking the questions. I guess we'll just never know who. It's a mystery. It's a mystery. Thank God for that voice changer. Let's play Guess That Voice. Our guessing game where you go head tohead with me today because Bree's away.

So it's just you versus me to see who can guess the celebrity voice as quickly as possible. And you're going to give it a go, Rhys. Good afternoon. Hey, bro, how's it? I'm good. You've got a nice, clear phone line. You can hear me nice and clearly down that phone.

Sure can. Okay, you beat me. You'll get 50 KFC chicken dollars this afternoon. And Claudia's going to run the game. Hi, Claude. Hello. Random question. Have you seen those photos of Harry Styles?

Oh, the ones on the boat? Yeah, the ones on the boat. Oh, I have, but only because Ella made me look at them as soon as I got into work. Yeah, honestly, same. Have you seen the photos, Rhys? No. He's shirtless. Tats are out.

Tats are out. Very small pair of stubbies on where he's rolled the waistband down. It's about as revealing as you'll get. Yeah. Where I'm going with this is I don't know if you noticed a tattoo on his thigh that said Olivia. No, strangely I didn't. Weirdly. And notoriously dated Olivia Wilde.

Yeah. So I don't know if there's a correlation there. Okay. But it seems like a big commitment for that shorter time they dated. It doesn't say Olivia. He's vegan, isn't he? Olivani. Olivani, yeah. Okay. But it seems like a big commitment for that shorter time they dated. She doesn't say Olivia, he's vegan isn't he? Olivani. Olivani, yeah. Okay. So where I'm going with this is he has got

one of his partner's names tattooed on his body. So I've looked at other celebrities that have their partner's names or faces tattooed on their bodies. Niche, I like it. Yeah. Okay. Easy peasy. Rhys, when these play, you're going to go head to head with me. If you know who it is, you yell out Rhys, okay, and buzz in before me.

Sweetheart. Okay, easy. If you know it, you yell out Clint. Clint, got it. Okay, everybody ready? Ready. Good luck. Here's your first voice.

You've got a lot of time to learn what life's about and be a kid, and if there's a musical theatre program in your school or pick up a guitar and practice, you don't have to do it when you're 12. Like my brother said, just take your sweet time. Oh, Clint. Clint. Is that a Jonas brother?

It is a Jonas brother. Is that Kevin Jonas? It's not Kevin Jonas, no. No any Jonas brothers, Rhys? Is it Nick Jonas? It's not Nick Jonas either. Is it the other one? It's the other one

Joe Jonas Joe Jonas Although I think Kevin also has his wife tattooed on his arm They all will Yeah, but Joe's got a woman's face on his arm And I'm pretty sure it's his wife Okay, no points No points there

But you know, there's always another chance So here's another one That's when I started performing Clint It's Beyonce It is Beyonce. She actually has a number. Walmart's and

you know, wherever we could perform. Yeah, she's so recognisable. Yeah. She's got a matching number with Jay-Z, not a face or a name, so I kind of went off brief there, but I bet she regretted that for a moment after the cheating scandal. Like two seconds. Well, that's one point for Clint, but Reece, you can pull this back.

Here's another one. And, you know, I didn't have many friends. I had like two, or my mom. I think I was like, I can make fun of myself better than all of you. Like, it made me feel like Teflon because I was just like, whatever joke you say. Rhys? Kinda sounds like

Pete Davidson? It is Pete Davidson! Nice, Rhys. I was going to say Matt Damon. I feel like I did Matt Damon and you were like, Pete Davidson? Yeah. Who has he got? Oh, he's got Kim Kardashian's name, doesn't he? He's got Kim.

He's also got, he had Ariana Grande, the mask that she wore. He had that, but I think he got it removed. Yeah. I think he got Kim's kids' names tattooed as well. Didn't he get her name burnt onto him? He's got a bit of everything. Just got a list going off. Yeah, yeah, he got Kim's kids' names tattooed as well. Didn't he get her name burnt onto him? He's got a bit of everything. Just got a list going on. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Okay, one of each? Yeah, all tied up. Here's another one. So I just got ahead of the curve. If I'm being honest with you, I was like, I'm just going to get out of here. I think this is done. And I'd just seen it.

And I completely selfishly wanted to be the first person to go and make my own record. Who is that? Think boy band. Think left the band. Oh, Clint? Clint. Zayn Malik?

It is Zayn Malik. Is it? I've never heard Zayn Malik's voice in my life. Apart from his singing voice, I've never heard him talk. You're a bad directioner. That's not what I expected Zayn Malik to sound like at all. Yeah.

He's got a thick accent. I think that's the game there but hey Rhys, you're going to score the 50 KFC chicken dollars anyway. Well done. Oh, cool.
