Hey everybody, welcome to the podcast
You know Ben, does it...
Because before I hit that thing off, I said to Ben
Ready Ben? And he gives me like a little nod
Ready

Ready
Do you ever keep that bit in there?
When you upload the podcast, do you ever leave it, keep in the
ready Ben?
I feel like that's kind of cool. It's kind of like the
Shania Twain, let's go girls.
No, it's more like the Michelle.

These are all options. These are all options.

Ready, three
Two, one
Cameron Diaz You waited for us one. Cameron Diaz.
Oh.
You waited for us to say Cameron Diaz so you could say something different.
No.
You wanted to be alternative.
No.
I was going to say Lucy Liu, and I'll tell you why.
And my girl Drew, Cameron D and Destiny.
Cameron Diaz, hot AF.
Yeah.
No doubt about it.
No cap.
In Charlie's Angels, I think Lucy Liu is the hottest because she's the most badass.
She's pretty hot.
She's just so hot.
Yeah, that's a fair point.
I wasn't going on Angel's performance.
I was going on who have I been most attracted to over the years.
Oh, I was going when I said who is the hottest Charlie's Angel.
It was very well cast, that movie, because they all are badass, kick-ass women. It was very well cast, that movie, because they were all, well, they all are
badass,
kick-ass women.
It was very good.
You know,
they weren't playing the role.
They were all very cool
at the time,
and now.
Oh, they're so hot.
Fuck, they are hot.
I'm sorry for just swearing.
Sorry.
Who was the guy
who facilitated
Charlie in that movie?
And he's a role
in all the Charlie,
because you never get to meet Charlie.
Bosley.
Bosley, yeah.
Who played Bosley in this one?
I think he's passed on now.
No, he hasn't.
Was it Bernie Mac?
No.
No, it was...
Oh, what's his name?
He was in Zombieland.
No, not Zombieland.
Yes, he was in Zombieland.
Really?
Oh.
Do you guys know who I'm talking about?
The baldish guy.
He was in Zombieland.
Hold on.
I love Zombieland.
Me too.
Bill Murray.
I'm sure it was Bill Murray.
Was it Bill Murray?
No, it wasn't Bill Murray.
Guy that looks like Bill Murray.
John Bosley.
Oh, yeah.
Bill Murray.
It was Bill Murray.
It was Bill Murray.
Okay.
Was it?
Yeah I've got it up here Oh man I'm thinking
Of completely the wrong guy
Who are you thinking of?
Is that Guru now?
Have you seen
I was thinking of Bernie Mac
Have you seen the movie
Charlie's Angels?
Yeah
Have you?
Yeah I have
Oh Clint
Yeah
You haven't
Oh my god you haven't
I have
I have
Me and my friend
Went and watched it
I watched it at the movies And me and my friend went and watched it at the movies.
And me and my friend, after we watched it, we walked home.
Shut up.
No, we walked home through Koiro Park in Rotorua
and we practised karate kicks on sticks.
Thank you very much.
So I have seen it, I remember it vividly.
You were cool.
Yeah, that's all right.
Hoi, Rotorua.
Great, nothing's changed, eh?
No, stuff has changed.
I can't get my foot up that high anymore.
Oh, shit, I don't even...
Oh, God.
Right.
I'm sure I'm right.
Let me just Google something here.
Please tell me you've seen Full Throttle at least.
Because if you haven't, I'm about to go full throttle on your ass.
I don't think you're ready
for this, Jelly.
That hair sniffer dude was
disgusting. Creepy.
Bernie Mac played Bosley
in Charlie's Angels.
Yeah, which
film?
Because Bill Murray did too.
That's Lucy Liu and that's Cameron
D and Destiny.
I would like an apology from everybody in the room.
Nah, I feel like you don't deserve one because more likely than not,
you've not seen the movie and you're usually wrong.
Bill Murray played Charlie.
Oh, yeah.
I thought you said you didn't get to meet Charlie.
Well, let's take that bit out and pretend I didn't say that.
So you were wrong. I'm so confused you didn't get to meet Charlie. Well, let's take that bit out and pretend I didn't say that. So you were wrong.
I'm so confused.
Well, I deserve an apology.
Technically, both of us were right because I said Bill Murray was in it.
And you said Bernie Mac was in it.
Bernie Mac died.
He's the one that died.
I said that.
No, I think I said it, didn't I, guys?
You're trying to gaslight me.
You guys are gaslighting me.
You know Bernie Mac died?
I said that earlier, didn't I?
Look, I couldn't hear.
Well, that's good to know.
But sorry that you feel that way, Clint.
Anyone got any other good chat?
Guys, I've got a question.
A bit of a go because I was about to wrap it up.
We're looking after my friend Dan's dog at the moment.
Woof, woof.
Boeing.
Lovely.
Good manual sound effect.
Lovely dog.
Whitney's loving having, well, definitely her boyfriend because they've been girlfriend, boyfriend since forever.
Do they hump?
Well, he's fixed.
She's not.
We're getting her spayed very soon.
Do fixed dogs have the urge to hump?
Some do.
Some still do.
Some don't. I've never seen the urge to hump? Some do. Some still do. Some don't. He
I've never seen him try and
hump her. I've never seen him try and hump anything.
Whitney on the other hand I've seen her
hump everything. But not
him. Her humps, her humps, her humps.
Her lovely lady lumps. Yeah so
she's still got the urge.
But no she licks his face.
Like she actually licks his face. Cute, cute, cute.
And his mouth. Anyway it's very cute. And his mouth. Anyway, it's very cute.
So is it weird?
So we just bought him a new collar.
Yeah, that is weird.
Is it weird if we buy him a name tag with our names on it?
Your names on it?
What?
With our numbers on it.
Oh, to say contact us.
No, it's not because you are who needs to be contacted at the moment.
Technically.
And that could be his tag when he stays with us.
You are doing something which is called shawshanking,
which is slowly chipping away at the dog.
I love that saying.
Have you never heard the term shawshanking?
No, but it makes complete sense.
It's a relationship term.
So it's when you play the long game to get someone to go out with you,
you just little by little chip away at them.
You go, okay, this person's hot.
They're probably out of my league maybe,
or we're not compatible right now, but I'm into it.
So just little by little.
Chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip.
I like that.
Little compliments here and there.
Little occasions where you hang out together.
Little memories created.
You're sure shanking that dog.
I'm sure shanking the dog.
I think that's a good idea.
Yeah. Dan wouldn't want to get a call
It's responsible
Justify it however you want
I know you want that dog
I really do
It's such a sweet dog
And I think it's going to work out for you
I think it's going to be
It's going to be what's best for the dog
Well
Dan if you're listening to this
He listens to our podcast sometimes
You know
We're open
If you want us to adopt the dog
Could be an open dog relationship.
Open dog relationship.
Well, he did suggest it because he needs to move.
If I know anybody who'd be interested in some open dog, it'd be Dan.
He loves open doggy style.
I mean dog relationships.
So, Dan, let us know.
Okay, good.
We'll get him a name tag then.
Very cute.
Change the name too.
Change.
Really put your roots down.
What should we change it to?
It's not Boeing to me.
This is Trevor.
Yeah, name change.
Okay, let's podcast, everybody.
Here it comes.
Enjoy it.
Oh, why didn't you lube me up first, Jimmy?
Oh.
Good morning, everybody.

Only one more day to go until the long weekend.
Oh, yeah, it's a long weekend.
I forgot about that.
What are you going to do?
Nothing much.
Just chill?
Just chill, hang out, you know, relax.
What are you going to do?
Anything planned?
Oh, yeah, man, probably.
Just take out the, what's that, the ranger down to the beach,
put on the four-wheel tires and just, you know, book it down, eight-mile beach.
Me?
Yeah, you.
Yeah, that's what I'm going to do.
Yeah, I was just trying to make you sound like outdoorsy.

Years of broadcasting experience. Years. They can't teach that. Did a very good job. That there, that there, that there. It's called hitting the post. Years of broadcasting experience.
Years.
They can't teach that.

That's time in the game.
And a strong will.

Let's meet your opposition in the game.
Lady, tradie today, 18 years old from the Garden City and really into cars.
Welcome to the show, Aria.
Hi, Aria.
What kind of car?
You got a car yourself?

Probably didn't realise it.
Aria, your buzzer is tradie.
Deanna, your buzzer is lady.
First of you to get three questions right gets $50 cash thanks to KFC.
Good luck, girls.
All right, here we go.
Question number one.
Tom Brady is retiring as the greatest...
Pretty.
Ooh.
Yes, Aria?
You don't know the question yet,
but feel free to chuck out an answer.
American football.
No, I'll finish the question.
The greatest American football player of all time,
having played 22 seasons and won seven Super Bowls.
Is he 40, 42 or 44?
Lady.
Aria.
44.
He is 44.
Damn, that is old to be playing that kind of contact sport.
He won a Super Bowl last year and he's 44.
That's insane.
Yeah.
Just crazy.
Like when you look at Nadal, who just won an Australian Open.
Yeah.
He's 35.
Yeah, I know.
This guy's nearly 10 years older.
He doesn't eat, like he eats the strictest.
Oh my God, I can't believe that.
Anyway, great work.
One to the tradies.
Question number two.
Shake and bake is a catchphrase from which Will Ferrell film?
Lady.
Yes, Deanna.
Is it Talladega Nights?
Yes, I'll give that.
Talladega Nights.
You got it.
Nice work.
One to the ladies.
Very well done.
Question number three.
Who was Justin Bieber married to?
Lady.
Yes, Diana.
Hailey Bieber.
That is correct.
We would have accepted Hailey Baldwin or Hailey Bieber.
Question number four.
Two to the ladies.
You need this one, Aria, to stop her.
The latest trailer for the new Batman film,
The Batman,
has dropped today.
Which actor
is taking on the role?
Lady.
Yes, Deanna,
for the win.
Robert Pattinson.
She's got it.
She's a lady.
Oh, oh, oh,
she's a lady.
Congratulations, Deanna.
You are the smartest lady
in the country today.
Crushed it.
I knew it.
Thank you. No, you're the smartest lady in the country today. Crushed it. I knew it. Thank you.
No, you're the smartest person in the country today.
Just overall.
Right.
50 bucks coming your way.
Nice work.
Bree and Clint.
Look, we haven't done this for a fair while,
but it's time to bring it back.
We like to call this unpopular opinions.
Everybody's entitled to one,
and just be prepared to get
quite fired up when you hear them
but remember that's the point.
Otherwise they would be called
popular opinions or just opinions.
You know?
Here to kick us off with an unpopular
opinion from his holiday is producer Ben.
Oh I'm keen. I'm keen to hear some of these.
Hi producer Ben. Hi guys.
You know the format. You start with unpopular opinion, but...
Unpopular opinion, but I quite enjoy driving on windy roads.
Such a weird one.
No, that's wrong.
But it's unpopular.
It's wrong.
Yeah, he got me again.
Damn it.
What do you like about driving on unpopular, on windy roads?
Well, I just don't get sick and I find it just quite fun.
In your car?
In my car, yeah.
In your car?
What's wrong with my car?
Like, I could understand it if you had, like, a sports car
that had amazing handling and stuff like that.
My car's fine with handling.
Oh, haven't you been for a drive in the Subaru 2003 model STI?
No, clearly not.
That thing flies.
Oh, mate, you'd love it.
It's like you're on rails in that thing.
Does anybody agree with him?
Yes.
Yeah, I don't mind driving on a windy road.
Oh, okay.
If I'm not the passenger, if I'm driving.
Oh.
Because I feel sick if I'm the passenger sometimes.
Right, okay.
Well, you've got one person.
I'm not a fan either.
Unpopular opinion, but once you get used to it,
oat milk is better than cow's milk.
Oh, that's really enraged me.
Yeah, nah.
I genuinely feel this one.
So much so that because I had to convert to oat milk recently.
Oat milk is trash.
And I apologise to all the farmers,
hardworking farmers that we've got listening at the moment,
but you guys should sow some oats because that is pretty good.
You are having the worst out of all the alternatives.
No, it's the best.
Oat milk is one of the worst.
No, it's the best.
What's better?
What's better?
Coconut milk?
No, too sweet.
Soy milk?
Too hormony.
What else?
Really?
Doesn't soy milk give you boobies?
That's what I heard.
What?
Oh, my God.
Does it not?
Cane.
That's mine. That's mine.
That wasn't popular. Milk tastes
like you're drinking
like cardboard that's been sitting
in water and it's like
really gotten all soggy and then you
and it gets real soggy over a week
and then you drink that and it's like
thick but it's like not
and then it's thick. It's yuck.
I said once you get used to it, okay?
Once you get used to it.
I will never get used to.
Well, it's my unpopular opinion.
What's that, Anastasia?
No, no, nothing, nothing.
No, you were going to say something.
You had your hand up.
Say it.
No, no, no.
Just say I'm done.
She had something to say then and she's backed out.
Let her back down.
She's obviously put a filter on herself.
Yes. Does anybody else want to offer up an un. She's obviously put a filter on herself. Yes.
Does anybody else want to offer up an unpopular opinion?
I've got one.
Yeah.
Okay.
Unpopular opinion, but ironing is superfluous.
Get rid of it.
That's wrong.
What does superfluous mean?
Do you mean useless, pointless?
Yeah, it's pointless.
What do you mean it's pointless?
Have you ever worn a shirt without ironing it?
Pointless.
I say it takes up too much.
Hang it up, steam it.
No, no, no.
Same thing, though.
No, this is not an unpopular opinion.
You're wrong.
We've talked about these ones.
You're wrong.
It's dumb.
You know, ironing is dumb.
Ironing is dumb.
It's correct.
But ironing is pointless.
Wrong.
Okay, ready? Hold on, I'll change it.
Unpopular opinion,
but get rid of ironing.
No, that's a popular opinion.
Get rid of it. No, that's a popular opinion.
We don't need it. No, we do need it.
Those are two different opinions. Get rid of it.
We don't need it.
We're going to open the phone lines to you right now,
or the text machine, actually. You can text these
into us if you want to share an unpopular opinion
with us
unpopular opinion
but what
0800 dial ZM
or you can text it
to 9696
you can't wait
for some of these
and also send
all your complaints
about the ironing
to Clint and Robert
some of you guys
on the text machine
like people who text
our show
you guys are very clever eh you're just so funny you're so funny and clever you guys on the text machine, like people who text our show, you guys are very clever.
You're just so funny.
You're so funny and clever.
You guys should be doing our job.
This is Unpopular Opinion.
And can I just say thanks to all the people who agreed with me about oat milk being better than cow milk.
What about all the people that didn't agree with you?
They were like, that stuff is horrible.
You're missing my key bit.
I said when you get used to it.
Okay.
Also, I didn't say it was a popular opinion.
Okay?
I didn't say it was popular at all.
Hey, I mean, I got dragged for mine too,
but a lot of support on the text machine,
mainly from cleaners.
Someone said, I agree with Bree.
I hate ironing.
I'm a cleaner and I work for a guy couple
and I iron 14 to 18 shirts every bloody Wednesday.
Yeah, they're keeping you in a job, though.
That would be a nightmare.
You know, like that's...
No one wants to hear that.
Let's get some unpopular opinions on.
Michelle is here.
Michelle, start off with unpopular opinion, but,
and then you can say whatever you like.
Okay.
Unpopular opinion, but mayo sucks.
What the hell, Michelle?
I hate it.
As in mayonnaise?
Mayonnaise.
Actually, all white condiments, but mainly mayo.
What?
You hate all white condiments?
You don't like aioli?
Nah.
What else?
You don't like tartar sauce?
Nah.
You don't like...
Sour cream, cream cheese, all of them.
Hollandaise?
Nope.
Bichamel sauce?
Nope. Oh, Michelle, you need to live a little. Cream cheese, all of them. Hollandaise? No. Béchamel sauce? No.
Oh, Michelle, you need to live a little.
I just, just yuck.
Right, okay.
No, fair enough.
It's unpopular.
And I can kind of see where Michelle's coming from.
Like, I could kind of, but I mean, I'm not one of them.
Delicious.
All the condiments, give them to me.
Mackenzie's here.
Hi, Mackenzie.
Hi, Mackenzie.
Hello. We forget how triggering this feature here. Hi, Mackenzie. Hi, Mackenzie. Hello.
We forget how triggering this feature is.
Like someone says something.
We always fall into our own trap.
And we're like, you're so stupid.
How dare you say that?
But literally, that's what we're asking you to do for us.
So, Mackenzie, say it for us.
You can say unpopular opinion, but.
Okay, unpopular opinion, but people that back in the car parks
are selfish.
What?
Or is probably the best word for this.
So you mean they come to the car park, they drive slightly past it,
check the car in reverse and then they go in
but first. So the nose is
pointing out. Yeah.
You know, there's a line of cars
trying to find a car park and I'm going to sit
here and wait for you
to get perfectly back in mckenzie i've got a question for you what if there's no one else
around and they still don't know what else around is okay but it's still like you're making someone
wait for you aren't you well they're gonna be faster leaving that car park you know you're
straight out they're gonna do it back in're going to have to do a two-point
turn at one stage. I backed into my car
today. Oh, no, I got a parallel today.
Okay, Mackenzie, no, good.
I don't know if it's as unpopular as you
think. I think some people would agree with Mackenzie.
Yeah, I reckon too.
I'd go as far to say that backing
into a car park is showing off.
That's what I'd say. You reckon? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You're flexing how
bougie your parking is. You watch me
use these mirrors. Oh, I'm going to
put my hand over the back of this seat
and I'm going to turn around. Oh, I'm going to get it.
Nailed it. Ella's here. Hi, Ella.
Hi, Ella. Hi.
Give us your unpopular opinion.
Unpopular opinion,
but pizza's overrated
and people that say it's their favourite food just annoy me.
Ban her from the show!
She's not allowed on the show anymore!
How dare you!
Give her a chance to justify herself.
I'm just kidding.
What if she can convince us?
I'm very triggered by that.
What part of pizza is overrated?
Is it the delicious crispy base or the cheesy topping?
Don't get me wrong.
I love a good pizza every now and then.
But, like, people that say, oh, yeah, pizza every day, all the time,
just have no taste or are just bland.
Oh, no, I agree with that.
I agree with that.
But I don't agree with the phrase pizza is overrated.
Pizza is delicious.
Pizza is great.
But I wouldn't have it every day.
You're spot on there. I I wouldn't have it every day.
You're spot on there.
I reckon you would have it every day.
Okay, maybe I would. I reckon you absolutely would have it every day.
Maybe I would.
There you go.
Another round of unpopular opinions.
Oof.
Feel a bit angry, a bit like worked up.
We always fall into the trap.
It's so bad.
Mayo sucks.
Mayo sucks.
Aioli.
Bree and Clint.
Time for the latest. From iHeartRadio. This sucks. Aioli. Bree and Clint. Time for the latest.
From iHeartRadio, this is The Latest.
Live from LA with Dean McCarthy.
Dean, the latest Jackass film, Jackass Forever, is on the way
and the cast have opened up about stunts they would never, ever do again.
Yeah, if you think there'd be a lot of those,
if you're a fan of Jackass, you know there are a lot of things you'd wonder if they'd ever do again? Yeah, if you think there'd be a lot of those, if you're a fan of Jackass, you know there are a lot of things you'd wonder
if they'd ever do again. But there were two
that jumped out at us, and I can totally
see why. Thiebaud has
said that this is one time he would
never do again. It was called the Fire
Angel. So they poured,
don't try this at home kids, by the way, they poured
jet fuel on the ground and he did
like a snow angel, you know how you move your hands and legs at home, kids, by the way. They poured jet fuel on the ground and he ate like a snow angel.
You know how you move your hands and legs at the same time while laying in the fire?
He had to have skin grafts.
He had third-degree burns.
He had full skin graft surgery.
It was really, really horrific.
And then, of course, another one of their wild antics.
They called it the glove of ants where he put his hand in a glove full of bull ants.
And basically, when you get bitten by a bull ant,
it's one of the most vile stings in the world.
It actually lasts for 24 hours, and there's nothing you can do about it.
You just sting uncontrollably for 24 hours, and that's the other one.
You think of all the ones,
that bull ant glove must have been really bad for that one to jump out of.
One of the most, you know, regretful.
You're putting your hand in a glove full of bull ants.
Yeah, I reckon that wouldn't be my favourite thing to do.
They've done so much dumb stuff,
and I reckon that a lot of it has given them head injuries,
and they don't even remember half of the stunts that they've done.
There's so many stupid things that they've done.
Johnny Knoxville came out and said he had a brain haemorrhage
from one of the stunts they do in this new movie,
so he stopped doing stunts because of it.
It's like, yeah, it's fun to watch, but...
You've got to get to the point where you're like,
do I want to have a quality of life after this?
And they've chosen the stunt line.
There's one guy on there, I heard him talking about it,
and he's like, you know,
for me,
it was anything
where I could break my neck
because I don't want
to do that again
because I've broken it twice.
So he's like,
anything that's like
maybe I'll break my neck,
I don't want to do anymore.
Well,
we'll get a brand new season,
well,
a brand new movie
of Jackass this year.
Whether you like it or not,
Jackass Forever's on the way.
That's your latest
with Dean McCarthy.
Bree and Clint. I feel like this is a bit of a
PSA.
Something that everyone should probably be aware
of if you own a car.
There's research that's
been done, Clint, from
the Ashton University
School of Biosciences.
So it's legit.
Where they've figured out what is the dirtiest part of your car.
Right, okay.
Which I feel like my mind when I read the headline.
Seat.
Oh, really?
My mind didn't go to the seat.
Where your butt goes.
My mind went to if you drive a manual, the gear stick.
Oh, yeah.
And if you don't drive a manual, the steering wheel.
The steering wheel, yeah.
That's where my mind went to, but the seat too, yeah.
Because you're dropping bombs in there, you know, in the car.
Well, so you just naturally wipe your hands on the side of the seat sometimes.
What are you wiping on the side of the seat?
Like if you're having like a, if you're eating in the car.
Like if you go to a drive-thru.
It's just grubby.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But I think we should go through it because this is a good thing to know
and maybe it'll encourage someone to give their car a clean out.
So for in comparison, so they took like all these different ages of cars
and then they tested all these different surfaces
and areas within the car.
So for a comparison, they tested a toilet seat.
Okay.
And only 34 bacteria were identified from a toilet seat they tested.
Okay.
So that's used as a comparison.
So one, two, three, four, five, six.
So coming in at number six,
the dirtiest parts of your car is the steering wheel.
Right, just like we thought.
Yes, 146 bacteria.
Oh.
Identified.
Oh, okay.
On the steering wheel.
Coming in at number five, the dashboard.
Why is the dashboard so dirty?
Because you're touching it with your fingers and stuff.
When are you touching the dashboard?
I'm thinking of like the radio and stuff.
Oh, like the radio and stuff.
Oh, like the control panel.
Yeah, right.
Okay, sorry.
317, bacteria identified.
Gross.
Number four, the back seat, 323, bacteria. Oh, yeah, is that because of...
But they looked in Clint's car and that was number one for you.
Because I've got car seats back there.
Yeah, yeah, that's the reason.
Number three, dirtiest parts of your car, the gear stick.
Yeah.
407, bacteria identified.
Dirty knob.
Yeah, God, it's a bloody dirty knob.
Number two, the driver's seat, 649.
So I was close.
Bacteria identified.
Number one, any ideas?
So it's none of those.
Oh, I know what it is.
I won't say because I know what it is.
Do you?
Yeah, I know what it is.
What is it?
It's the, I'll whisper it to you.
Okay.
The cup holder.
Oh, what did you say?
The cup holder.
Cup holder.
No.
No, it's not the cup holder.
It's not the cup holder.
Okay.
This one shocked me. It's not the cup holder. Okay. This one shocked me.
It's actually...
The boot.
Oh.
The boot of your car is the dirtiest part of your car
with 1,425 bacteria identified.
Oh, that's gross.
That's where everybody puts the food.
That's where you put the groceries.
Yeah.
And they reckon it's because it's the part of the car that gets cleaned the least.
Right.
Right, okay.
But I don't clean any of my car.
But, yeah, right.
What do you mean you don't clean any of your car?
I just don't get around to it.
Mine's probably the same all over.
But there you go.
Fascinating.
Put a towel down when you go to get the groceries, everybody.
Yeah, bacteria everywhere.
Or just put a towel down in general.
You got a dirty booty.
Brian Clint.
I saw this story and, I mean, we talk about these stories a lot,
how people end up catching someone out cheating.
And there's a lot of different ways these days, isn't there, to catch someone.
It's a huge digital paper trail that can be left by cheaters.
Yeah, there's a lot of stories we hear sometimes.
Remember that time that guy got caught because of his Apple Watch?
Yes.
It showed him doing exercise in the middle of the night.
At 3 a.m.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Boom.
Caught out.
And only for like 15 minutes.
Yeah, exactly.
Genuinely.
So what were you doing?
Yeah.
This story is kind of similar um and it involves uber okay so a woman has spoken
out about how she caught um the guy she'd been seeing um involved with another woman after she
asked him what he was doing on a friday night she said do you want to go out friday night we can you
know do this or that sure and he said oh I'm actually going to watch a sports game with some friends, so I'm busy.
And she said, oh, that's all good, no worries.
So she's actually an Uber driver, so she decided she would do some Uber driving on a Friday
night, make some good money.
Sure.
And it was all going well until one of the rides that she picked up was her man and another
woman.
What are the chances
of that?
Isn't that crazy? Wow.
Can you imagine the look on that
guy's face? Because I don't know how it works
but can an Uber driver see
the person they're going to pick up?
Because you can reject jobs as an Uber
driver if someone's star rating is too low
or something like that.
I wonder if she could see that it was him
because I never check who my Uber driver is.
Neither.
Like if I get a job confirmed, I never go, oh, cool.
I never look either.
So-and-so is coming to get me.
Never check.
I just look at the number plate.
And he probably wouldn't have checked either.
And then she pulled up.
And he's like, I know that car.
Uh-oh.
You know what?
Even if she saw that it was him, she would have been like, oh, cute.
Like, I'll pick him up.
I'll surprise him.
Exactly.
Yeah.
Totally.
You would totally do that.
That is a frosty trip.
Do you get in the car?
Do you get in the Uber or do you cancel?
You don't get in the – no, you don't get in the car.
You also don't drive him and his new girlfriend somewhere.
You'll get a bad rating.
I don't think you care
at that stage. Do you?
I'm just joking. You don't get in
the car. Dumb question
Brie. Do you think he
tipped her?
Do you reckon
he got five stars? That is a unique way
to bust someone cheating. I've never heard
of that. I've never heard of that one.
I've heard Uber based ones
where you see
Uber receipts to an address
like it comes into maybe the shared email
address or something. Or if your account's
both attached. Yeah, and you recognise
the address or you go, why are you going to this
suburban address twice a week? So often.
Yeah. That's what I mean by
digital paper trail. There's such a big digital
paper trail. I thought we could ask people
this afternoon on 0800DIALZM,
do you reckon people have stories that we would never have heard of
how they caught someone cheating?
I hope so.
And I think so, yeah.
Surely.
Yeah.
Because I've never heard that one.
I'm sure there's plenty more.
We'll take digital.
We'll take physical.
We'll take manual.
We'll take them all. We'll take digital. We'll take... Physical. Physical. We'll take manual. We'll take them all.
We'll take paper.
We've got one.
0800 DIALZM or you can text us on 9696.
How did you catch him cheating?
Bree and Clint.
How did you catch him cheating?
A woman who drives Uber said she was dating this guy.
He said he was going to a sporting match with friends on a Friday night
and she said, no worries, I'll drive some Uber and make some money.
And it was later that night when she picked up him
and a woman he was with as one of her rides.
Bastard.
So awkward.
You can't even get out of it because I reckon they were like holding hands
or something.
Yeah, it would have been like
Obvious or something
Yeah
It'd be such a gotcha moment
You know
Like
You'd feel
Well gutted
First of all
But also really satisfied
You're like
I got you
I literally got you
You stupid egg
Nailed you
Yeah
Yeah
So we're wondering
How did you find out
They were cheating
Maybe some unorthodox ways
Ollie has called up.
Hi, Ollie.
Hi, Ollie.
Hi, how are we doing?
Good, thanks.
Tell us, how did you catch them cheating?
So it wasn't actually my partner.
It was my best friend.
He went to Scouts of all places.
Scouts?
Yeah, like 28 or 29 years old in Scouts, yeah.
Was he a Scout?
Wait, was he a Scout leader?
I don't know, honestly.
He's been doing it since he was a kid, but he was a Scout guy.
Hey, Scouts is awesome.
I was a Scout.
Was your friend dating Bear Grylls?
Could be, maybe.
I don't know.
Bear Grylls is hot.
No shade on the Scouts.
I was a Scout, but I mean, I hope he was an instructor by he was.
Is that what we're called?
I was a Gum Nut.
They're called Brownies in New Zealand.
Oh, I think we're called Gum Nuts in Australia.
Love that.
Okay, Ollie.
So, okay, anyway, he's a 28-year-old.
He's in the Scouts.
Yeah, so I had, she wasn't driving at the time,
so I went to, and she was meant to be staying at his house.
He was supposed to finish around, I don't know, we finished at like 11 o'clock in a bar.
And I dropped around to his place, and he wasn't home yet, so we parked just like across the street,
turned off the lights, just started like talking and hanging out on our phones.
About two minutes later, a car pulls up that we hadn't seen before, and it's this like redhead.
And he's sort of like
going to get out of the car and they start like
hashing up in the car
and our eyes are like going so
wide like I didn't even know what to do
for her, like she was obviously
in shock. Meanwhile you guys
look like you're on a stakeout
you look like you're on a stakeout hiding
waiting for him to do it. Yeah that's so rough
but it was just a coincidence.
So what did you do?
Did you just drive off?
It took everything in me.
I wanted to slam into the car, restrained myself,
and we sort of just pulled up next door, like wound down the window
and knocked on hers.
And we're like, hi.
And it's like, how are you?
Hey, I think you know my friend here.
Maybe he was working on his infidelity badge.
Maybe.
I can tell you what, though.
He turned out, after everything came out in the wash,
it turned out that he'd been seeing both of them.
Neither of them knew about each other.
He was cheating on both of them with each other.
Naughty, naughty.
Oh, no.
That's, wow, okay.
That is not in the Scout's honour, by the way.
No, that is not. I can tell you that. That is not. This person wants to be anonymous. Hi, Anonymous. wow, okay. That is not in the Scouts' honour, by the way. No, that is not.
I can tell you that.
That is not.
This person wants to be anonymous.
Hi, anonymous.
Hi, anonymous.
Hi.
Tell us, was it you that caught someone cheating?
Yes, I did.
I caught my lovely ex-husband cheating.
No, not a husband.
Oh, anonymous.
That's horrible.
Yeah.
Sorry, first of all, yeah, but tell us what happened.
So he had a second Snapchat that I wasn't meant to know about,
but I did, and one night I cracked into it.
Of course you did, anonymous.
Is this too much to say?
And tell me if this is too far.
If they have a second Snapchat... Red flag.
...they're cheating on you
oh yeah absolutely is that too much is that too much to say they're doing something or they're trying to cheat on you they're doing something that they don't want you to know about yeah
whether it be cheating or whatever it is so you crack it open and what you start messaging somebody on there? Not exactly. I found some
very adult content
that
he had recorded with another female.
Wait, so it was him
and someone else in the recording? It wasn't
even just videos they were sending
each other? Yeah,
he had snuck out one night
and made
a little adult material.
Did you leave him on the spot or did you go, we need to work through this?
Safe to say he was pretty well locked outside at 3 a.m.
and nothing more than his underwear.
Good girl.
Nice.
I think you handled that with dignity and grace, Anonymous.
Good for you.
Kia ora.

Brie and Clint.
Victoria Beckham from the Spice Girls.
If you want to be my lover, you've got to get with my friends. Do I have to let people know where Victoria Beckham is from?
No.
People should know who that is.
Victoria Beckham, you might have heard of her.
Little band called the Spice Girls.
Well, you might have also heard Fletchford and Hayley talking about this this morning.
She has been outed by her husband for eating the exact same meal every
day for 25 years.
What, she eats it every day?
According to David Beckham, he was a
soccer player. You might have heard of him.
Might have heard of the movie, Bend It Like
Beckham. Yeah. He was
the bender,
wasn't he? Yeah. He said
this,
since I met Victoria, she only eats grilled fish and steamed vegetables.
That's my David Beckham.
He said she will very rarely deviate from grilled fish and steamed vegetables every day for 25 years.
That seems like you'd, I mean, I go through stages where I really like something
and I eat it a lot, but you get sick of it.
How long's a stage?
Two and a half decades?
No, not that long.
I get it.
I know people who are obsessive over food
and if you find the food that works for you,
sometimes you just stick to it.
So I do understand it.
I don't do it, but...
Neither.
And do you think she changes it up?
Do you think sometimes she puts like a
seasoning on the fish and maybe
like some kind of dressing
on the vegetables and that's the variance
but the base is the same?
Because if it's just plain steamed
fish, plain grilled fish and
plain steamed vegetables. Maybe she changes
up the type of fish, changes
up the type of vegetables, changes up the type of vegetables,
then that's not that bad.
Because you might go, it's healthy.
It's very healthy.
It's actually not if you're not getting variety in your diet.
You need a few different things, yeah.
I had a friend who she had never drunk anything other than water.
Really?
Yeah.
Not even milk?
Not even milk.
Not even breast milk?
I mean, well, obviously she would have drunk breast milk.
Right, okay.
And then she also...
Not even Powerade?
Nah.
She didn't drink...
She had a phobia of coloured liquids.
Not even those drinks that were popular in the 2000s
where you had the drink and then it had the straw at the top
and you smack down on the straw and it drops a tablet down into the drink?
No.
What were those called?
Do you remember those?
Betazine, what was it?
Something weird.
It was like an energy drink
and then you, bam, drop the energy tablet.
You really wanted to scare this girl.
You get a glass of orange juice
and you chase around the house.
She hated it.
Oh, she was actually scared of drinking something else.
She was terrified of it, yeah.
Back to David Beckham.
He said it's hard for him
because he's a serious foodie
who gets emotional about food and wine.
This is true.
He once cried when Victoria forgot to cut the crusts off his sandwiches.
That's not true.
On his little lunch that he's taking to soccer.
It's not.
I thought we could have a quick round of this or that.
Which of these foods, if you could only eat this or that for the rest
of your life, what would you choose?
Food is hard for me because I just want everything.
First one? This or
that. Only meat
for the rest of your life or only
veggies for the rest of your life?
Well, to be healthy, only veggies.
Right? Yeah, you'd have to pick veggies.
You'd have to choose that. You'd have to. Because if you went only meat,
you'd get scurvy. Yeah, you'd have to pick veggies. You'd have to choose that. You'd have to. Because if you went only meat, you'd get scurvy.
Yeah, you would actually be sick.
Yeah.
Okay, no dairy but all the carbs you like
or no carbs but all the dairy you like.
I can't choose this one.
For the rest of your life.
Nah, you've taken that.
So you can have breads and pastas, but no cheese, no cream, nothing like that.
Or you can have cheese, cream, milk, chocolate, but you can't have any carbs.
You can't have potatoes, that sort of thing.
What are you picking?
I will choose no. It's hard. I will choose no.
It's hard.
I'll choose carbs.
Oh, but I want pasta.
Yeah, because I can have pasta with olive oil on it.
Yeah.
So I'll choose the carbs.
Yeah, I'd probably choose carbs too.
And last one, Mexican, Italian, Indian,
or Japanese cuisine for the rest of your life?
Italian. Yeah, I'm the for the rest of your life? Italian.
Yeah, I'm the same, actually.
That's easy.
Do you know what's the most popular cuisine in the entire world?
Italian.
Is it?
Yeah, it's number one.
Makes sense.
Does make sense.
Cheese and carbs, baby.
Bree and Clint.
Don't forget to watch the blots.
Once upon a time, there was a girl.
She was smart, debatable, talented, eh, athletic.
Not really.
But picking a movie title based on just the plot line,
that she can do.
Brie and Clint's What's the Plot?
Our epic movie guessing game.
Week by week, bit by bit,
the stakes are getting back up there again.
This week, we are competing for $600 cash.
It's a lot of money.
It's a great way to kick off a weekend, a long weekend.
Here, looking to get her grubby little mitts on the cash,
is Caitlin.
Hi, Caitlin.
Hi, Caitlin.
Hello.
Hi.
Are you a movie buff, Caitlin?
Do you love watching a good movie?
I love a good movie, but now that I've been put on the spot,
I'm probably going to suck at this.
Right.
Well, you've got nothing to lose, Caitlin.
Just look at it like that.
I want you to win.
I want you to take it off me, but I don't want to give it to you.
Does that make sense?
Okay.
Yeah.
The note that I have from producer Ben is
that you need to be fast on your buzzer
this week because they're quite easy movies.
Okay. Good, I hope they are.
Yeah, that's going to help you, Caitlin, but remember
it helps Brie as well.
Your name is your buzzer. First to two correct
movie plot lines,
names of the movies correct gets the point.
And don't wait for me to finish before you buzz in.
Good luck, everybody.
The theme this week is planes flying movies up in the air.
Oh, there's so many.
Oh, no.
Movie number one.
You're not scared of flying, are you, Caitlin?
No, but I don't like the movies, so... On January 15th, 2009,
Captain Chesley,
I think that's how you pronounce his name,
tries to make an emergency landing...
Brie.
The one with Tom Hanks.
Sully.
Sully.
Damn it!
I haven't seen whether she's correct yet.
I was just eking it out for dramatic effect. He makes an emergency landing on the Hudson River.
Yeah.
Sully is the first one.
It's a great movie.
Have you seen it, Caitlin?
I've heard of it.
I could have guessed Sully.
I was just too slow.
Got to get in there on that buzzer, okay?
Yeah.
If you think you know what it is, just give it a go.
Movie number two.
This top-tier school is where the best of the best train
to refine their elite flying skills.
Caitlin.
Caitlin.
Oh, jokes.
I was going to say Top Gun.
Are you going to lock in Top Gun?
I am because that's all I know.
Top Gun starring Tom Cruise.
Yeah.
Is correct.
You're joking.
Yes.
Well done, Caitlin.
Nice work, Caitlin.
Now I'm in trouble.
Okay.
You've got Brie a bit more nervous.
This is a better place for you to be.
And if you get this right, you get $600 cash.
I have these snakes on a plane.
Movies about planes.
Aeroplane movies.
Flight movies.
Movie number three.
Our main character worked as a doctor, a lawyer, and as a co-pilot all before his 18th birthday.
Catch me if you can.
Well done. Damn it.
Leonardo DiCaprio.
Leonardo DiCaprio.
Watch it a million times.
Great film.
Sorry, Caitlin.
I've never seen it.
Oh, trust me.
Go watch it.
You would really like it.
He's a con man.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
It's based on a true story.
It is.
Hey, Caitlin, we can't give you the $600, but we can send you home with a $50 KFC chicken
dollars voucher.
Awesome.
My partner will be stoked.
Yeah, perfect.
I like your energy, Caitlin.
Come back and play again.
Thanks.
Thank you.
What's the plot?
Happens this time every Thursday on the show.
Join us next week when we're playing for $650.
Bree and Clint.
Please welcome to the show our favourite Australian,
still in Australia.
It's Mumadai.
Dave, hi, bub.
Hi, guys.
How are you going?
Hope you're having a great day.
Wait, why are we playing the New Zealand national anthem for you?
Hang on a second.
Here we go.
That's your guys' anthem, eh?
Yes, that's the official.
I'll take my pants off.
Don't ask any questions.
That's not a thing.
Hey, Mum and Dad, we got you on the show because you're over there
and we're over here and we can't see each other.
But today there was a change,
announcement of a change to the border in New Zealand.
Have you seen this?
I heard there was an announcement on the TV,
but I didn't catch it,
and I was going to listen to you guys.
Yeah.
So what's happened?
Would you and Bree like to know what the deal is?
Yeah, I'd like, because I've seen bits and pieces,
but you know what these things are like.
It's quite hard to understand sometimes.
Well, ultimately, this is when you guys will get to see each other again,
and when all Kiwis who have loved ones overseas will get to see each other again and when all Kiwis who have loved ones overseas
will get to see their family again.
So from the 27th of February this month,
there's a few stages in this, okay, so just bear with me.
That's unlike the government.
Yeah, right.
They never do it in stages.
So from the end of this month, the 27th of February,
Kiwis in Australia can come home.
Which is awesome, especially for people who've had sick relatives
or they haven't been able to get home for stuff.
10 days of home isolation, not MIQ,
which will eventually go down to seven days.
You've got to be vaccinated.
Right.
Okay, that's the first stage.
That's awesome for them.
That's good, eh?
That's great news.
From the 13th of March, Kiwis from all over the world can come home.
So only two weeks after that, everybody who's a Kiwi can come home.
If you're in England, if you're in Venezuela, wherever.
Yeah, those two places and more.
And that's what it should be.
And that's what it should be.
From the 12th of April, more visa holders and international students can come into New Zealand.
So if you've got a New Zealand residence visa, I think you can come.
Okay.
And this is the one for you guys.
From July, anyone in Australia, not just Kiwis, can come in.
And they said that that is likely to happen sooner than July.
It's just slated for July at the moment.
Right, right.
So that means that Mama and Di You can come over
And Bree you can go home
And come back if you want to
I mean
It's not really on my to-do list
But you know
It's good to have options you know Mum
No I'm going to become a
New Zealand citizen and I'll be over
Sooner rather than later
Right it's not a bad idea.
That would mean that you can come at the end of February.
Yeah.
You can come way sooner, Mum.
I could be a student.
Oh, you want to be an international student?
Yeah.
Yeah.
If you become an international student, we can get you here in April.
Or you and producer Ben can get engaged and then boom, you got your visa.
Oh, look, I'd be in for that.
Would Ben be in for that?
I could live there and cook for him and look after him and do all that.
Yeah, you're looking for a cougar in your life?
If she's cooking, I'm – if she's cooking, Cain.
Oh, Ben, you better not say that.
I'm going to hold you to that.
Yeah.
I do not condone getting illegally married for this.
The last piece of the pie is that the border is going to fully reopen
to anyone anywhere in the world in October.
But that's ages away.
For you, Mama Di, to know that it will be no later than July
that you can get reunited with Breeie. How do you feel?
Look, that's awesome.
And I'm absolutely thrilled for the New Zealanders to be able to come home.
But I honestly believe it will be sooner than that.
I honestly believe.
But that's a great starting point.
And I'm going to book my trip for May.
You're going to run the cutter and just, yeah.
You know what?
I think it is for someone like, and I mean, we've had it pretty easy
because everyone in our family has been, you know, healthy
and that's the main thing.
Yeah.
But when I say easy, it's been pretty bloody shit over the last two years
and there's so many people out there who are going through the same thing.
And I think this has just given a bit of structure to the uncertainty of things.
And I think that's the hardest thing about everything.
And that's what I've really struggled with.
It's I don't know when.
Like people would ask me, oh, when?
And I'd be like, I actually really don't know.
So the Prime Minister also said, because they had dates before and then they changed, remember?
Yeah.
She said that these dates are very firm.
Okay, cool.
Is what she said.
So you can plan for that.
And look, I'm thrilled.
And I am legitimately going to book my flight to come over.
But Brianna will have to book for the 13th of May to come home.
Okay, cool.
Can you pay for my flights?
Yes, I will.
Oh!
What a beautiful reunion.
Hey, Mum and Di, we'll see you in July, okay?
We can't wait.
Oh, one thing, I'll pay for Ben to come home too.
Ben, cook meal and a free holiday.
How good.
It's going to be weird now.
I love you guys. Love you, Di. Ben, cook meal and a free holiday. How good? It's going to be weird. Love you, guys.
Love you, Dave.
See you soon.
Bree and Clint.
Look, this story is, for some people, will seem quite ridiculous and crazy.
But for other people, I think they would probably say, yeah, do that.
Right.
It's a story about a musician.
His name's Chris Strouth.
He's from Minnesota over in the States.
Back in the 2000s, he'd been suffering with kidney disease
for a number of years.
Before the kidney, his kidneys totally failed him in 2009.
Right.
Which, you know, that's when he began dialysis
and feeling super helpless
and these people don't really have a life once this happens.
They spend most of the time in hospital on dialysis.
Yeah, you're hooked up to a machine for hours a day.
Yeah, exactly.
Anyway, he had been on the donor list.
He'd done all that.
He tried everything but nothing was working
and he literally went, I don't know what to do here.
I'm going to die.
He decided he would go on Twitter and he tweeted out a very simple tweet.
It said, shit, I need a kidney.
That's all it said.
Is that it?
That's it.
Anyway, he sent it out to anyone that followed him
And he's got people you know in the music communities and all that
He had a few followers
Anyway he went to the movies and forgot about it
And watched this film and he came out of the movie
And to his surprise
19 of his followers had responded
Wow And they'd offered to get tested to see if they could be a match And to his surprise, 19 of his followers had responded. Wow.
And they'd offered to get tested to see if they could be a match.
Really?
Yep.
Really?
Yeah.
Isn't that incredible?
That is incredible.
Isn't that crazy?
That is so selfless.
It is so selfless.
Okay, yeah, go on.
Anyway, at the time, he didn't even really know what his blood type was.
So he... How did he not know what his blood type was.
How did he not know what his blood type was?
He'd been on dialysis for years.
Well, this is what he said.
Anyway, so a bunch of them went and got tested,
and I think there was a few maybe matches,
but there was this one guy by the name of Scott who was a perfect match.
And these two guys didn't really know each other.
They said they knew each other because they were in music circles,
but they'd never really met or they were acquaintances.
And he goes, great, we're a match.
I'll give you my kidney.
Wow.
And he went, I've seen you at gigs.
You drink way too much piss.
I don't want your kidney.
It's stuffed. That thing's got way too much piss. I don't want your kidney. It's stuffed.
That thing's got way too many Ks on it.
This is damage.
Yeah, yeah.
I'm going to hold out for a better one.
Yeah.
That's incredible.
So did they do it?
Yeah, so they did it.
And did it stick?
And he's healthy?
Well, unfortunately, so that was quite a long time ago.
That was in 2009.
But they had the operation.
It was all good. And he's been healthy for the last however long.
But unfortunately, and this sometimes happens, he now needs another kidney.
Yeah, right.
Yeah.
Yeah, right.
It's brutal.
The whole thing is brutal.
It is.
It's horrible.
Remember we talked last week about the girl who gave her boyfriend a kidney?
Yeah.
And then he dumped her?
God.
Like...
What an a-hole. What an a-hole.
The ultimate a-hole.
A-hole.
People who are willing to do this for someone else,
like we said, very selfless.
But then to do it for a stranger, incredible.
Yeah, that's like a whole new level.
Like if you're doing it for, like I read something the other day,
it was quite funny, I think it was a meme or something,
and it was like siblings. Yeah other day. It was quite funny. I think it was a meme or something. And it was like siblings.
Yeah, yeah.
It was siblings.
I won't let you borrow my favourite top,
but one day I'd give you a kidney.
Yeah, yeah.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, yeah.
It's one of those things.
Selena Gomez, her best friend donated, gave her her kidney.
Has Selena Gomez had a kidney transplant?
Yeah, she suffered from all kinds of troubles
and her best friend ended up giving her one of her kidneys.
Wow, that is huge.
Yeah, crazy.
I thought we could ask this afternoon,
bit of an unusual one,
but I feel like there is 100% people out there.
Have you donated a kidney to someone?
Oh, whoa, okay.
Yeah.
Have you done this for someone?
This completely selfless act.
Well, also take calls if you're the person that received the kidney too.
Yeah, okay.
Absolutely.
You can tell us about this amazing person that gave you a kidney.
Yeah, who gave you one of their body parts.
Yeah.
Amazing.
0800 dial ZM or you can text us on 9696.
Have you donated a kidney?
When we're learning how to do radio, they talk
about niche topics. This one's a niche one.
I reckon this is up there. Come on,
we've got to get someone. If you know someone.
High risk, high reward radio.
Where are the kidney
givers at? 0800 dials at M.
You can text us as well on 9696
and we'll get you on to tell your story.
Brian Clint. Talking donors,
have you donated a kidney to someone?
A guy has spoken out about how in 2009 he had no other options.
He was on full dialysis after suffering long-term kidney disease
and he sent out a tweet and 19 of his followers messaged back
and said, I'll get tested to see if we're a match.
Amazing. And a guy ended up being a match and said, I'll get tested to see if we're a match. Amazing.
And a guy ended up being a match and a complete stranger gave him a kidney.
And you said Twitter's overrated.
Literally saved this guy's life.
It's back.
So have you done it?
Is anyone listening out there a kidney donor?
This first caller wants to remain anonymous.
Hi, Anonymous.
Hi, Anonymous.
Hello.
Tell us, do you know someone who's donated?
Yeah, well, my brother's the recipient.
Okay.
Of your kidney?
Not my kidney.
So he's had two kidney transplants.
Yeah.
But the first one was from a live unrelated donor.
Yeah.
Who, she was a stranger to us.
She just lived in the community.
And she...
Wow.
She's been thinking about it,
about wanting to donate her kidney
and it must have hurt about my brother
through, well, small town.
And got the work up.
She was a match.
And yeah, lifelong friend now.
That's incredible.
That's incredible.
Oh, wait, so you've met her and now she's a friend of the family and all that?
Yeah.
She's family now.
Oh, I love that.
That's so cool.
Yeah, wow.
That's awesome.
What an amazing person.
Yeah.
Yeah, she used to tease him that he'd want to take up knitting.
He was going to get some of her traits.
Yeah, yeah, I like that.
Bit of friendly donor banter.
More anonymous calls.
Hi, anonymous.
Hi, anonymous.
Hello.
Hello.
Tell us what happened.
Do you know someone who donated?
Yeah, so my father donated to my older brother,
but I didn't actually know I had an older brother at the time.
That's kind of how we found out.
Wait, what?
Yeah, so he's a good 15 years older than me.
So my mum and dad knew about him, but like, you know, different mother.
Yeah.
Yeah, so he needed a new kidney and he had to get in touch with my dad and they'd actually never met or anything.
Wow.
Yeah, so dad found out that he was a match,
went over to the UK and met him for the first time as an adult
and then three days later donated his kidney.
You're kidding me.
That's it.
The rest is history, yeah.
You know what?
Aw.
That's one way to make up for lost time
in the father-son relationship.
Yeah, I know.
You know?
You go, look, I know I haven't been around much, but I got you something.
Yeah.
That story is mind-blowing.
Can I ask, are you all connected now?
Like, do you see your older brother and stuff?
Has your dad got a relationship with him?
Yeah, yeah.
It's really cool.
Now me and my younger brother have got necks and neckies and stuff,
and, like, it's just so cool because we never would have had that connection otherwise.
So, like, it's a really awesome silver lining for us.
Yeah, cool.
Okay.
Hey, thank you for such a great call.
That's very cool to hear.
Yeah, I love that story.
Someone texted through, and I feel like it's super important to talk about.
They said, hi, ZM.
I'm not exactly donating a kidney, but I'm scheduled to donate my eggs to a very deserving family this month.
I do not know them personally, but saw this was an opportunity to do some good in the world.
The only reason I text in is that I wish to spread more awareness for females to donate.
There are over 100 families on the wait list waiting for people like me to donate.
Thank you, Anonymous.
There's another special type of person.
Absolutely.
And I think it's something that we probably don't talk about enough
and people aren't aware of how much you can change someone else's life.
I know it's a massive decision,
but there might be a few more people out there
that just haven't really thought about it that could donate.
So that's really cool.
Thanks for texting in.
One more call from Taylor.
Hi, Taylor.
Hi, Taylor.
Hey, guys. How's it going? Good. One more call from Taylor. Hi, Taylor. Hi, Taylor. Hey, guys.
How's it going?
Good.
Your mum donated a kidney.
She did.
To who?
To my dad, actually.
Wow.
So tell us, what happened?
What's the story?
So, yeah, dad became really sick when I was about 10, so about 15 years ago.
And, you know, progressively got worse, went on dialysis and stuff.
And as soon as mum kind of found out that he would be needing a kidney,
she was like, yep, sign me up to get tested, went through the process.
And yeah, she was like a perfect match to the blood,
perfect match to the tissue type.
And then she actually had to lose about 40 kgs
in order to actually be healthy enough to have the surgery.
Wow.
You're kidding me.
Yeah, pretty cool, hey?
Oh, my God.
Your mum deserves so many presents.
I imagine when she found that out,
it goes to like, you know, a montage
when someone's getting really fit for something in a movie.
It cuts to that bit.
Yeah, that's incredible.
That is so amazing.
And how are they doing now?
Amazing.
They actually said as soon as they joined up the kid
and their dad just started using it very well.
Oh.
Yeah.
You said this is mine now?
Everything's perfect.
And, yeah.
She's got one over him forever, though.
Yeah.
See, Taylor, where is this part of the storyline in the notebook?
You know?
I know, right?
This is the real true love story.
I mean, you can't get more true
love than that. I like her in an argument. She goes,
I gave you that kidney and I can take it back.
Don't test me.
Thanks, Taylor. Great story, mate.
And a good reminder to
change your driver's license.
Think about becoming a donor.
Absolutely.
Free and Clint's Hey. It's my birthday. It's my birthday.
Bree and Clint's Birthday Banger.
All right, here we go.
Birthday Banger for you Thursday.
We'll take three people's birthdays,
figure out what was the song that was top in the charts on their 16th, then we'll play our favourite one.
Rebecca's here.
Happy afternoon.
Oh, my God.
How's it going?
Hi, Rebecca.
Good afternoon.
Hey, you. Oh, my God. How's it going? Hi, Rebecca. Good afternoon. Hey, you.
Oh, my God.
Happy, happy...
I'm sorry.
Look, we have to do...
It's a professional hazard for us.
We do too much talking every day.
It is true.
It is true.
Trust me.
Usually it's me, so I'm glad it's you this time.
Happy afternoon, Rebecca.
Good to have you here.
What is your birthday?
Thank you.
It's the 10th of January, 1995.
All right, Bec, you were 16 in 2011.
And on the 10th of January in 2011, this was top of the charts.
To hold it against me.
If I said my heart was beating loud.
We could escape.
Queen Britney Spears.
If I said I wanted to. Can you hold it against me? Vintage Britney. Now, I'll tell you, this is 11 years old. Queen, Britney Spears.
Can you hold it against me?
Vintage Britney now.
I'll tell you, this is 11 years old.
I think all Britney's probably vintage Britney now.
Yeah, she needs to release some more music.
Do you like it, Bec?
Yeah, not bad.
Not bad.
Pretty good.
Okay, wait there.
We'll do a birthday banger for Maddie.
Hi, Maddie.
Hi, Maddie.
Hello.
Happy birthday to you. It's your birthday today. Well done. Yeah, it is. We'll do a birthday banger for Maddie. Hi, Maddie. Hi, Maddie. Hello. Happy birthday to you.
It's your birthday today.
Well done. Yeah, it is.
Well done.
Oh, my God.
What's wrong?
Why?
What did you do?
I said well done on it being your birthday.
Well done.
I made it this long, so.
Good for you.
Thanks.
What did you get for your birthday, Maddie?
I got a duvet cover set, Which just really means that I'm actually old
Right doesn't it just
Are you excited about it?
Oh I'm in love with it
That makes you even older
Yeah
You wait till you get really excited about different types of towels
There's some soft ones out there
Do you know what I achieved last year?
This is peak oldness
Matching tea towels.
Oh, wow.
A set of tea towels, so all the tea towels in the kitchen now match.
Oh, yes.
Oh, man, it turned me on.
I haven't gone that far yet.
You'll get there.
Maddie, trust me, you'll get to the point that I got
where I went on pretty much a search for the best,
most absorbent bath towel.
It took me four years, but I finally got there.
It's one of those chemis that you use to dry the car.
You know?
Yeah.
Bria's never looked drier, to be honest.
I look so shiny too, trust me.
Maddie, what year are we talking?
96.
All right, Maddie, you were 16 then in 2012.
So on this day, Maddie's 16th birthday, this was number one.
Yeah, that's a good one.
That is a banger.
Such a good song from Sia and Flo Rida.
I think that one's going to be hard to beat.
I reckon it's going to be hard to beat too.
Very good.
Let's find out.
We've got to do one more for Nikki.
Hi, Nikki.
Hi, Nikki.
Hey, how's it going?
It's birthday season.
It's your birthday this weekend.
It is.
Oh, well done, Nikki.
Thank you.
Hey, good job, mate.
Well done.
Congratulations.
Have you got anything planned, Nikki?
Well, it's actually my daughter's 14th next Thursday,
so we're just catching up with the family, basically.
Oh, fun. Yeah, with the family, basically.
Oh, fun.
Yeah, doing the family stuff this weekend and then, you know, doing teenager birthday stuff next weekend.
I love that.
Well, with all respect, forget her.
This is about you.
Let's do your birthday banger.
What's the exact date of your birth?
6th of February, 1987.
Right, you were 16 in 2003.
And on the 6th of February, your 16th birthday, this had a number one hit.
That's cool, Nikki.
I feel this.
You like it?
Yeah, definitely.
I don't know if anyone else gets freaked out by patterns,
but I just want to bring this up for a second.
Nikki's birthday is the 6th of February, 1987.
Yesterday, we did a birthday which was the 6th of February 1987. Yesterday we did a birthday
which was the 5th of February 1987
and earlier this week
it was my birthday,
the 1st of February 1987.
What's going on?
If we get a 2nd or 3rd of February,
yeah, right,
then we are living in a simulation.
I like yours, Nikki.
I think I like them all today, again.
I'm voting for Maddie, Flo Rida, Sia, Wild Ones.
I think it's a banger.
I don't care if it still gets played a little bit.
I think it's a banger and it has to win.
I'm voting for New Flo, Big Brothers.
We're going to a split vote.
Producer Ben, what's the winner of Birthday Banger today?
Brittany, hold it against me.
Flo Rida, Sia, Wildes? Or Big Brother's New Flo?
It's hard.
You know, it's because it's Maddie's birthday.
I'm going to have to go Wild Ones.
There it is, everybody.
Maddie, congratulations.
You just won Birthday Banger.
Thank you.
Well done.
Well done for picking.
This one?
Yeah, congratulations.
Well done, Maddie. You go on, congratulations. Well done, Maddie.
You go on and just.
Happy song, Maddie.
Happy day of the birth of you.
All right, shut up.
She's singing now.
Brie and Clint, sit in.
How you do.
I want to talk.
Brie and Clint.
I want to talk about Batman because.
Sorry, that was awkwardly timed.
The new Batman film, it's called The Batman,
starring Robert Pattinson in his first role as Batman,
is coming out next month, I believe.
Right.
I'm quite excited for this.
Me too.
I've gone from being like, is he going to be good,
to yeah, I think he's going to be pretty good.
Yeah, there's been little bits and pieces leaked here and there.
And then recently, a trailer's been dropped where you get to hear quite a lot of Robert Pattinson's Batman voice.
The Bat voice is very important.
So important.
You know?
It's everything.
It's everything.
Well, it's almost everything.
The Bat suit is also very important.
Yeah, and the Batmobile.
I think they're going more grungy and more scaled back than the Christian Bale Batman.
Definitely more than the Batfleck Batman.
Yeah.
But yeah, cool.
I want to hear a bit of that.
Yeah, so we've got the trailer here.
This is what Robert Pattinson sounds like as Batman.
Fear is a tool.
They think I'm hiding in the shadows.
Watching.
Waiting to strike.
But I am the shadows.
Oh, I love Gooseys.
Gooseys.
I like it.
I thought we could give it a bit of a go ourselves this afternoon.
Our bat voice.
Best bat voice.
I think it's about like emotion slash evil slash power slash all different stuff.
It's not evil.
He's a force for good.
It's darkness.
It's not evil.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Same thing.
Not evil.
Do you want to go first?
Do you want me to go first?
Well, we've got a judge here.
Sam's here.
Hi, Sam.
G'day, Sam.
G'day, guys.
First of all, just to gauge your qualification, who is the greatest Batman so far, according to you?
So far, well, mine's a bit of a...
not a common pick.
Not a lot of people remember this,
but do you guys remember the animated show from the 90s?
Oh, yeah, OK.
You're definitely a Batman aficionado.
You're a massive Batman fan.
You're qualified, OK? You're qualified.
We're going to do Batman,
and you're going to tell us who does the best one.
Is there a script to go by, or is it just going to remember it?
There is a script.
Anastasia is bringing your script in right now.
Okay, thank you.
It's just that little part that we heard in the trailer that we'll be giving a crack.
Okay, cool.
You ready?
Yes.
Okay, here comes my Batman.
Oh, getting into character already.
Okay, when you're ready.
Fear is a tool.
They think I'm...
Oh, my music's gone.
Hang on.
Yeah, that's important.
Yeah.
Fear is a tool.
They think I'm hiding in the shadows,
watching, waiting to strike.
But I am the shadows.
What do you think, Sam?
It's not awful.
Yeah, I thought so. Not awful. I'll
take that. I haven't practiced
so now I'm worried. Brie was laughing the whole
way through. It was good
but it was
like Gollum was definitely
in there a little bit.
A little bit shmeagolish. I believe. Brie, you can
send it. I love it. Well, get ready to hear
Batman crossed with Kath and Kim.
Okay.
Ready?
Fear is a tool.
They think I'm hiding
in the shadows.
Watching.
Waiting.
Oh, it stuffed that bit up.
Waiting.
Waiting to strike.
But I am the shadows.
You sound like a pervert hiding in a bush.
Sounds like I've had a pack a day for about a month.
Sorry, sorry.
Wait, wait, wait. No, no, no. No for about a month. Sorry, we're defeated by just...
No, no, no. One go each.
No, one go each. Sam, what's your
review? My review?
Okay, yeah. Bree, you definitely do sound
like you chain smoke
just a touch, but that's not
necessarily a quality
that Batman can't have.
And Clint, you definitely sound like you're
gargling marbles a wee bit.
But at the same time,
nothing wrong with that.
You've got to give us a winner.
You've got to give us a winner, Sam.
Who is it?
I mean,
I feel like it's easier
for dudes to do it.
Is it sexist if I say
that Clint wins?
No, it's not.
You pick who you thought
was the best.
Do I win?
Yeah.
I'd say so, yeah.
Yes!
Thank you so much. I mean, I, yeah. Yes! Thank you so much.
I mean...
I mean...
Thank you so much.
I should have done my sexy Batman.
No, I think you started with sexy Batman.
Fear is a tool.
Brian Clint, if you want to go and see that trailer,
the new Robert Pattinson Batman trailer is out now for The Batman.
Brian Clint.
ZM, Brian Clint, that's Adele and
oh my god, listen up Back to
the Future fans.
There's a piece of memorabilia up
for auction at the moment that you gotta
have if you love Back to the
Future. Can I, could you
said it's better than owning
a DeLorean? Yeah. Which I mean
I don't know if you can get
more iconic from that show.
Can I guess?
One guess.
Okay, one guess.
Is it Einstein the dog?
No, I'm just kidding.
Is it a pair of the Nike futuristic shoes, the ones that lace up?
Self-lacing.
Oh, those would be good.
That would be pretty cool.
And again, more useful than the DeLorean?
Yeah. No. What is up for auction is a real working hoverboard.
What?
Do you remember in 2015 when they launched that hoverboard that actually hovered?
Here's a little bit of it on the news back then.
Liftoff for a New Zealand first and its first lucky rider, seven-year-old Tim Keeley.
The Hendo hoverboard.
When they bought it out, they got Tony Hawk to ride around on it.
Do you remember?
Yeah, I do remember that.
It looked quite hard, though.
This is the only one in New Zealand for sale.
And it is for sale.
You can own it at the moment.
That's so cool.
It's on Trade Me.
What, they put it up for sale?
Yeah, they're trying to raise money for Mike King's I Am Hope.
Oh, that's cool.
How much do you think the Hendo hoverboard is going for?
50.
This is not one of those things where you can guess too much, by the way.
Okay.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
I was going to say 100.
The Hendo Hoverboard, the real hovering hoverboard like from Back to the Future,
starting price on Trade Me is $700,000.
You're kidding.
If you want to avoid the auction and not get caught up in that and sucked into a bidding war,
you can hit the buy now button and pick it up for $998,000.
A bargain.
Hey, you know what though?
I think it's because it's going to a good cause as well.
Yeah, but a million dollars.
Oh, I see what you mean.
You know what I mean?
So they want like Air New Zealand to buy it or something.
Yeah, yeah.
But I mean, that is a piece of history
That's for sure
It's the only one in New Zealand
There's only 11 in existence
And yeah
It's definitely cool
And it works
But
Oh that is a lot of money
Imagine turning up
To your friend's house
And dropping in
At the skate park
Yeah you'd be so cool
Yeah
Until they found out You paid a million dollars.
Then you'd be like, get him!
How much did we pay for our DeLorean?
Do you remember?
I think we paid around $13.50.
Ben, do you know how much we paid for our DeLorean last year?
This time last year we were driving around the South Island
in the hot tub time machine.
That's right.
The DeLorean.
How much did we pay?
$2,700.
Did we pay that much? machine. That's right. The DeLorean. How much did we pay? $2,700. Did we pay that much?
Yep.
Money well spent.
And then it couldn't even get a warrant.
Hey, I got them down from three.
It caught fire while we were driving it.
That's right.
And we were like,
probably shouldn't be on the road with this.
So if you don't have a million dollars,
there are back to the future bargains out there
that you can get.
They just, like we said, might catch fire.
Right.
Yeah.
Right. ZedM's Brand Clint.
