Starting point is 00:00:40 If your Tuesday feels like a Monday, it means your Wednesday will feel like a Tuesday before you know it'll be Friday. I literally got up this morning, did not realise it was Tuesday until like lunchtime. Put your Monday undies on? Yep. Yep. Went and did my routine that I do on a Monday. Your Monday routine, yeah.
Starting point is 00:00:57 And then went, wait a second. What the? And then finally realised. We are whole again, by the way. Our producer, Ella, is back from her Chinese honeymoon. We are the full atomic kitten here today. Hi Ella. Hey guys.
Starting point is 00:01:09 She's done that thing where you go overseas for a few weeks and she's come back with an accent. I have not. She does, she's got a Chinese accent. Yeah. Be careful. She's just not doing it on the radio. She's been walking around the building doing it.
Starting point is 00:01:19 I have not. What has she sounded like, Clint? I wouldn't wanna do, I haven't been to China so it would be inappropriate for me to do it. Well, I actually am kind of browned. I've been eating a lot of noodles. So good. Is that what you ate mostly on your honeymoon?
Starting point is 00:01:33 The noodles? And vegan sausages. Nice. Nice. That was, no. Hey. Hi guys, welcome to be back. She's married now.

Well, there's Joe, she's got the flow. Yeah, someone that was getting down on the floor. Yeah, Tina was looking for more. Yeah, maybe.

Oh, my great-grandfather started that trade in 1945 and I've just carried on. Family business. Yeah. Do you get a free one when you pop your clogs?
Starting point is 00:03:30 I wouldn't know would I? Wow that's a great point. Yeah Vaughan doesn't care. He'll be gone. I hope so. You haven't got one set aside for yourself. You have a majorone. Camaro or something like that. I should get a free one shouldn't I? Yeah I think so. But again who cares you're gone. Exactly. Isn't it interesting to think that a headstone is not for you? No it's for all your loved ones to go visit you. For the people that are left behind. That was grim.
Starting point is 00:03:55 Vaughan you're a tradie, Tash your lady the first to three correct answers wins 50 bucks cash this afternoon but more important than that they win the mana of a tradie verse lady victory so good luck. They sure do here comes question number one what is the largest internal organ in the human body? Lady? Tash? Uh this again? No internal. Vaughan, free guess. Lungs? No. The largest internal organ is the liver. Okay no points there. Question number two. Which author wrote the novel The Pride and the Prejudice? All yours Tosh. No Tim. I guess so Trades. Yeah Vaughan.
Starting point is 00:04:41 Yeah we'll go that lady from Harry Potter. Hey may as well throw it out there, JK Rowling. I think you're assuming. And no, it wasn't her. I love that. It was a woman named Jane Austen, very famous author. Okay, no points there. Question number three.
Starting point is 00:04:56 Buzz in, guys, when you can tell me who sings this. Stop, stop me now. Lady. Tash just got in. Queen. Queen. Queen is on the money. One to the ladies question number four.

David Seymour officially becomes New Zealand's deputy
Starting point is 00:05:26 Prime Minister. Who is the current Deputy Prime Minister? No, that question's out of date, unfortunately. We'll have to scrap that one. It was left over from last week. That was from last week. My bad. My bad. Sorry guys, we'll move on. Where in the world would you find the Rockefeller Centre? Trady. Yes Vaughan? New York. New York. New York, two to the tradys, one to the ladies.
Starting point is 00:05:46 That was a great guess. Better than your JK Rowling one. Question number eight, which company created the popular video game character Mario the Plumber? Trady. Vaughan for the win? Which company created the popular video game? Oh geez, I would know. Nintendo maybe? Nintendo is on the money and that's the win. Get out of here! Throw a Hail Mary and you got it, Vaughan. Up the tradies.
Starting point is 00:06:19 I reckon he threw four Hail Marys and three of them came off. Yep. That was a highly entertaining round of Tradee vs Lady from both of you. And Vaughan, you're our champion. We've got 50 bucks coming your way. Sweet as. Well done Vaughan.
Starting point is 00:06:33 Unlucky Tosh, unlucky. Good game to kick off the week. ZM's Brie and Clint podcast. Okay, I need you guys to listen carefully because I believe we may have accurately predicted the future on this very show. Well we talk enough crap, you throw enough stuff at the wall, eventually something will stick.
Starting point is 00:06:52 You say that, but the specificity of this... Really? Is quite insane. Wait, has Idris Elba been named the new James Bond? No, it's nothing to do with Idris Elba. Still waiting on that news. For context, Ella, you were out of the country last week when Claudia Lord did what? She did a very exclusive show in the Auckland YMC bathrooms. She did a gig in a toilet. She previewed her new
Starting point is 00:07:19 album to people in a toilet. Okay, that's Lord did last week. Very sheik. I got a message on my TikTok account from someone who said, hey, this is not related to your video, but I was just listening to an older episode of Your Guys from 2023. Right, so that's a couple of years ago. They gave me the exact date. Claudia has gone and found the podcast. She's listened to the podcast.
Starting point is 00:07:42 Have a listen to this two year old voiceold voice break from the Bre and Clint podcast. I didn't know what the Louvre was once when this came out, but she educated me. Well the actual Louvre. Yeah, and now I know it. Go Lorde. The Lorde song taught you what the Louvre was. Yep. Lorde in the Louvre. Oh she should do a concert.
Starting point is 00:08:00 In the Louvre. Lorde live in the Louvre. Ella thought this was a song about being in the toilet. Oh my god, if we ever get a chance to interview Lorde, should we do Lorde live in the loo? And she does a concert in the bathroom. I think she'd love to do that. Yeah, if I know Lorde she'd love it. Did she get the idea from our show? Maybe.
Starting point is 00:08:20 She must have, where else would she get it from? I love that, that's the first place we go to. What the actual if? How specific and how spot on? What's going on? Do you know what's even weirder? That podcast went to air on May 26th, 2023. No! No! No! No! No!
Starting point is 00:08:44 Lord did her concert in the bathroom on May 28th 2025. Still. Two days off. I was about to be, my mind was about to be really blown. She probably tried to book the 26th but the YMCA was full. Yeah. There was a couple of social netball games on that night. Isn't that crazy?
Starting point is 00:09:05 There's so many things that have to happen for that to come true. Like first of all, Lorde has to have the idea to do a show in a toilet and we have to talk to her because if there's any chance that she listened to our podcast, we need a cut. No, I'm just kidding. But also- But that's like the perfect content if we did get to interview her to be like, did you plan this? But also, someone had to be randomly listening
Starting point is 00:09:34 to an old, a two year old Brian Clint podcast the same week that Lord does that concert for it to be relevant. Because you could have listened to that podcast any time in the last two years, and that's just a random stupid break about the idea of Lorde doing a concert in the toilet. But for you to listen to it the week that it fricking happens? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:54 Coincidence, eh? What's our next prediction then? Yeah, well, this is what I was wondering. We're pretty good. What do you guys want to come true? Taylor Swift comes and visits us. Specifically us. Specifically us. But just me and Ella, not you guys want to come true? Taylor Swift comes and visits us. Specifically us, no one else. Specifically us.
Starting point is 00:10:07 But just me and Ella, not you guys. Yep. Okay. Okay, I'll take it. Oh, just you guys? Oh, that's lame. Nah, you can come. What about us?
Starting point is 00:10:15 She comes into the studio and she's like, oh, nice. And she offers to give us all back-sacking crack waxes. What the heck? I thought you were going to say like pay for it. You take it. I've said it now. You take it. That's the offer, we're taking it.
Starting point is 00:10:29 Hey, if Taylor Swift came in here and offered that, I'd say you can wax every piece of hair on my body if you want. Yeah, I don't particularly want a back-cracking sack wax, but if Taylor Swift's gonna come in and do it, I'll take it. Yeah, she can wax every inch of this body. And you guys listening to this are like,
Starting point is 00:10:44 you guys are so stupid, but we just predicted Lorde doing a concert in a toilet. Okay, if that can come true, anything can come true. I am speechless. That's amazing. Someone said that's two years and two days. Isn't that a clue? Yeah, see?
Starting point is 00:11:01 Read the written text. This is all just a simulation we're living in. And we're in control. I can't wait for Taylor Swift to wax my gooch. She's coming. The top 10 most complained about beaches in the world have been identified. And please just say there's no New Zealand beaches
Starting point is 00:11:18 on the list. Yeah, New Zealand's got great beaches. Yeah, but none of our beaches are crap. Or maybe they're not crap enough. I think... Nah, I can't say I've been to a New Zealand beach and thought, this is crap. Yeah, same actually. Like each of them has their own unique appeal.
Starting point is 00:11:36 Like Pihar. I'd never seen black sand before. But you would not put Pihar on a list of crap beaches regardless. It's a phenomenal beach. But like some people could look at it and go, black sand. Oh right. That's weird. Bit hot. Don't like that.
Starting point is 00:11:51 Yeah, yeah. Fair enough. You know? Okay. This list was put together by looking at the number of times words like dirty, overcrowded, long queues and noise appeared in the TripAdvisor reviews for the beach. Okay. Special shout out to our Aussie friends in Sydney.
Starting point is 00:12:07 Bondi made the top 10 at number nine. For the worst. For the most complained about beaches. Yeah, right. Which, pull your head in. Yeah, but you have- Bondi is one of the great beaches of the world. Bondi is stunning and very unique in the sense of, you know,
Starting point is 00:12:23 it's literally in the middle of a major city. I think it's obviously such a busy beach, so you're getting, I mean, probably five, ten times the amount of people than you would at other beaches, so it's going to be dirtier. It's going to be not everyone's cup of tea. Get down to the sand, it's all good. It's when you're up in the car park bit and you're surrounded by ishays trying to steal your bag. That's when it's a bit.
Starting point is 00:12:48 There's a lot going on at Bondi. I've seen Bondi rescue. Yeah. I know what it's like. Let's go for number five, Bournemouth in the UK. First of all, who's going to a beach in the UK? Terrible idea. Yeah, if that's what your idea of a tropical holiday is, probably not good.
Starting point is 00:13:04 When you watch a British TV show and they're like, we're off to the seaside. It's just a bunch of rocks and a puddle. And they're all wearing jackets. Yeah. And they're like, oh bless us, on a vacation. Better put the umbrella up. Number four, Clearwater Beach in the US.
Starting point is 00:13:18 I don't know it. Clearwater is this in Florida? Yeah, I think so. I've been to it. Really? Yeah. Rubbish? From memory, it's, Clear water is this in Florida? Yeah, I think so. I've been to it. Really? Yeah. Rubbish? From memory, you know what I always found so interesting about, especially beaches in Florida,
Starting point is 00:13:32 or where I lived when I lived in Florida, is there's no waves. Oh. No waves, it's just still, and it's quite strange. So you can't surf? No, there's no waves. Buzzy. Number four, Player Manuel Antonio in Costa Rica.
Starting point is 00:13:46 Don't know it. Number two, Venus Beach. Have you been to, I took you to Venus Beach. We went. Yeah, the last time we went to LA. Weird place. Yeah, it's a strange beach, eh? Lot of sand.
Starting point is 00:13:57 Really long. To get to the water. A long way out from the, a lot of sand's a funny thing to say about a beach, eh? But you're right. But in terms of, you know what I mean. It's a long walk from the footpath to the water, you're right. Let's say like a Kiwi Beach, like on average you know how many meters to the water, you're not walking a kilometer to get to the water. If you left
Starting point is 00:14:18 your Speedos in the car you wouldn't be that pissed off. You could race back. Go back to the car and get it. Venice Beach however. No and you'd get robbed and stabbed. So that's a major detractor. Is any beaches in Hawaii on there? The number one most complained about beach is Waikiki in Hawaii. I've been there too. Horrible beach. Really? I thought it was meant to be... It's full of rocks. Oh. So like it's so packed that you can barely find enough space to lay down. Yeah. And then when you're going into the water everyone's like stubbing their toes because they don't realize that as soon as you walk into the water it's just full of big boulders. And then my sister cut her foot on some coral.
Starting point is 00:14:59 I saw your beach out Waikiki. Okay. We thought it was great. Actually, can I slag off a Kiwi beach? We've done it before. Which beach? Where the Morakei boulders are. Oh yes, we went there together as well. We went. And there's like a box for a donate. You're meant to leave a donation for the boulders.
Starting point is 00:15:19 For the people that maintain the boulders. Just a bunch of rocks. You know who would like that though? Who? Is Donkey from Shrek. Would love that bitch. He would. Yeah. Yeah, you know?
Starting point is 00:15:32 Like I get it if he's writing the review. But like for us normal folk, you get there and you're like, hey, it's a boulder. More like a boulder. Those are some nice boulders. That's a nice boulder. We've done those before and I'm always interested in what comes in. We want people to tell us the most disappointing tourist attraction, not necessarily beach, anything, the most disappointing tourist attraction
Starting point is 00:15:53 you've ever visited. For you, you're not having a bar of Buckingham Palace. Buckingham Palace was poos in my opinion. It just wasn't that impressive. Our former producer, Ben, wanted the Colosseum, struck it off the list of must see destinations. I want to distance myself as far away from that opinion from ex producer of the show, Ben, as I care. He said the Roman Colosseum is overrated, not that good. He's never been, but he thought it was... He's like, nah. He's like, nah.
Starting point is 00:16:23 Looks lame. Claudia, you got one? The Colosseum! Yeah, what the hell? Stonehenge. Just drive past it, be like, yep, there it is, and keep going. Have you been?
Starting point is 00:16:32 Yes, I have. OK, you are allowed that opinion. Even though I don't like it, you're allowed it. It was just like, you can't even get close to it. And there's nothing else around it. Ellie, you've just come back from China. You got any for us? Yeah, when I was in Europe years ago, the Louvre was pretty boring.
Starting point is 00:16:47 Sorry, I know that's rude, but there was just a massive room. The Louvre? Yeah, there was a massive room for like thousands of people with the Mona Lisa there. Like you could have just said the Mona Lisa, but you've gone the entire Louvre. The entire Louvre. Right off. Full of statues, you know what stone looks like. Blake, why do you need to go?
Starting point is 00:17:07 All right, it's a hot take. If you've got one for us, we wanna know the most disappointing tourist attraction you've ever visited. Slag it off on the air this afternoon. That is Franklin. We just read out a list of the most complained about beaches in the world.
Starting point is 00:17:21 So now we're looking for the most overrated tourist attractions that you've ever visited anywhere on the planet. Although we are getting a lot of Kiwi ones come through. Yeah, there is quite a few Kiwi ones. We put on the list the boulders. The Moraki boulders. Yeah. Like, I mean... Look, we don't want them to go away or anything. But there's a problem when you're over... And I think social media has a lot to do with this, there's an issue with over-hyping things. Yeah, like we had seen all these amazing pictures and we kind of went out of our way on a road trip to see the boulders. And we get there and we're like, oh it's just a couple of rocks.
Starting point is 00:17:58 Yeah, if the slogan was, Moriki boulders, they were alright. Then when we got there we would have gone, what do you mean, these are awesome! Our expectations would have been, you know, right there. And maybe these people were the same. Dylan texted him and said, I'm from Dunedin and I hate Larnac's Castle. It's overrated. Have you been there?
Starting point is 00:18:14 I've never been there, so I can't comment. I've been yet and no, I haven't. I've been to the grounds, but I've never been into Larnac's Castle. Okay, someone said the Wanaka tree is shit. I have to agree. I quite like it. Have you been to it?
Starting point is 00:18:30 Multiple times. Okay. I've been when it's like high tide, low tide. I want to try and get a photo. During low tide it's a bit crap. Yeah, I think that's what it was. But when the tide's fully in and so this tree's just sitting out in the middle of the water, that's pretty cool. You'd agree it's overhyped though.
Starting point is 00:18:44 Yeah, definitely. It's just a tree. Someone said Napier Museum. Why are you coming for Napier Museum? Christchurch Antarctic Centre. Come on guys no more domestic shots okay no more friendly fire let's go international with Bri. Hi Bri. Hi Bri. Hey guys how's it going? Good thank you. What is it for you? Somewhere you visited and went, this is overrated? Yeah, we went to California and saw the Hollywood sign and it's pretty lame. You didn't have a moment when you saw the Hollywood sign for the first time? You're like, oh my God, there it is. There it is. No, no. Because we knew we couldn't drive close enough and stuff walking,
Starting point is 00:19:23 like through exercise on holiday, right? Okay, okay, yeah. We were forced to exercise up to the Hollywood side when we went there, remember? Lies, lies. We got a guided tour in a minivan. She drove us all the way up to the Hollywood side. Yeah, but we had to walk from the car to the sign. To the photo spot.
Starting point is 00:19:42 Yeah. I get what you mean, Bri. It's hard to get close to it, isn't it? It is. I know photo spot. Yeah. I get what you mean Bre, it's hard to get close to it isn't it? It is. Okay. You know what is on that same level is the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Oh garbage. It's garbage. Did you do it Bre? Yeah did you hate that too? Yeah it goes for miles and like you don't recognize half the names. And it smells like weed. It smells like urine, yeah. Yeah, it does, yeah. Yeah, and there's so many Spider-Mans. They're like, hey you kids,
Starting point is 00:20:09 you're not real Spider-Man, go away. You want me to do a tattoo whilst I'm bouncing on this jumping castle? Come in here and I'll give you a tattoo. Let's go to Cheryl, hi Cheryl. Hi Cheryl. Hey, how are you guys? Good, thank you.
Starting point is 00:20:21 What do you think it is for you, tourist attraction that you're like, mm, nah nah overrated? Are you saying the pyramids? What? They surprisingly look just like they do in the picture. Yeah. And that's about all there is to them. And it's the Buuvia all the way and it's smog and it's rubbish. Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Starting point is 00:20:54 You sound disappointed that they look like the pictures. What did you want them to look like? Yeah. No, no, no, no. But you know, like you get there and you've got these pictures from 40 years ago and it's blue skies and it's in the middle of nowhere and basically you're sitting in McDonald's and you're locked in the pyramids. Right so are the pyramids overrated or is Egypt overrated and the pyramids are suffering because of it?
Starting point is 00:21:14 No Egypt was amazing but the pyramids was the most disappointing thing that we did there. We have to take your word. Don't even get Cheryl started on that Finks thing. The Finks? What? No I mean it's just like I don know, you just have all these amazing expectations. Yeah, yeah. Well we have to take your word for it Cheryl,
Starting point is 00:21:32 we've never been. We haven't been. And we're not gonna go now based off that recommendation. Yeah, no way, Cheryl says it's crap. I still think you have to go to Say Your Beams. No, no, I'm not wasting my money Cheryl. Not wasting one dollar on that Cheryl. Not on those stupid pyramids. Not on those thousand year old...
Starting point is 00:21:49 Pre-civilisation. Mystery structures. Pre-civilisation built. No way. What's the most overrated tourist attraction? Someone said I went to the Grammy Museum in 2024. The whole thing was basically about Shakira. Okay I'll take the Grammy museum off my list. The Trevi Fountain in Rome. I was like, yeah, nah, it's overrated. You don't want to go and do the thing from the Lizzie McGuire movie?
Starting point is 00:22:14 I went to the Trevi Fountain and they were doing like restoration works on it. Yeah, that's disappointing. So I can't really comment. You know, one thing I did go to when I went to Europe a couple of years ago for the first time where I was like, whoa, yeah, like blown away. Yeah. The statue of David. It's everything and more. Yeah, right. In my opinion like, it was something, because obviously you know how often you will see, it is reference. When I went there, I wasn't disappointed. Yeah, you got in trouble for touching it, eh? Yeah, I'm not allowed back there for a while.
Starting point is 00:22:56 Ma'am, hands to yourself. Behind the rope! Do not touch David! No regrets. Ma'am, hands off that willy! Do not touch David! No regrets. Ma'am hands off that willy! ZN's Brian Clint. Time for the Tea with Dean McCarthy.
Starting point is 00:23:12 The Tea, live from LA with Dean McCarthy. This was the biggest entertainment news in the world over the weekend and Dean's got details on just how much Taylor Swift paid to get her masters back from Scooter Braun, Dean. Hi, Dean. Oh my goodness, hi guys. Yes, I hope everyone's sitting down because this is wild. Taylor Swift has now full ownership of her first six albums. She purchased them for 600 million New Zealand dollars. So 360 million US.
Starting point is 00:23:42 So what do you get for $600 million? She has full ownership of her first six albums, catalog, and everything to do with them, the music videos, the photos, everything, and she is very elated by this. They make about 100 million New Zealand dollars a year in royalties, so it's a pretty good return, right? But the thing is, this is very much,
Starting point is 00:24:03 if you're a Taylor fan, you know what I'm talking about. This was personal. This was personal. Could she have made more money with that money somewhere else? Probably as a better investment. This is so incredibly important to her. So she's thrilled about it. She's absolutely thrilled.
Starting point is 00:24:17 What does this mean for the last two albums that she's gonna re-record? She said that the reputation album, she hasn't even done a quarter of it, so it's kind of just pumping the brakes on that. She has re-recorded her the reputation album, she hasn't even done a quarter of it, so it's kind of just pumping the brakes on that. She has re-recorded her very first album, her self-titled album, and she said that she'll decide when or if they'll have their moment, but for now, she's just living her best life.
Starting point is 00:24:38 She thanks her fans. Dean, where did this come from? Like, has this been something that's obviously been, you know, kind of sizzling away behind the scenes? And did Scooter Braun still own them? Is he the one that has sold them back to her? Or how did it come about? Do you know? Yeah, I know all the details. So they originally sold to Scooter Braun for 300 million US. Scooter sold it about a year later to a place called Shamrock Capital, which is an investment company and he made about $30 million on it when he sold it a year later.
Starting point is 00:25:10 Shamrock then came to Taylor and offered it to her three years later. They made about $100 million profit in those three years and they sold it to her for about $30 million more than they paid for it. So the thing is when Spooda was selling it, he sold it to Shamrock. He said to Shamrock they were not allowed to discuss it with her or the deal was off, so they were not allowed to speak to her about it. And that is how she bought it from Shamrock,
Starting point is 00:25:33 not from Scooter. Yeah, it's passed hands a couple of times. It's interesting to me that all that work she did to release other albums hasn't devalued that original catalogue at all. Because that was the idea, right? That you take ownership back, you make the ones that the other people own, worthless. She's paid the same as everybody else paid for it.
Starting point is 00:25:53 Maybe not in that sense. But like, know what, like, whoever owned it was not making you anywhere near as much money because all these people stopped streaming those songs. Well, they made a hundred million dollars over three years. So they made $100 million over three years. Could have made more though. That's true. She won though in the end. The other thing, just quickly though,
Starting point is 00:26:10 I've got some more numbers for you. Yeah. She makes $9 million per month, per month on the re-records. Yeah. Wow! And now she owns it all. And apparently, yeah, and now that she'd be a, when she would release her Taylor's version,
Starting point is 00:26:24 the old album would get a spike. Yeah, of course. Because a lot of people don't realise which one they're listening to. Yeah, most of all. Well, there you go. She's the biggest story in the world again. That's the tea on Taylor Swift getting her masters back from Dee McCarthy, our Hollywood correspondent. Dad Am's Bree and Clint podcast.
Starting point is 00:26:40 I saw this story today. It's another one of those ones where someone's destroyed something at a museum. We talked about that kid recently who stole the... what did he steal? It's like an Egyptian artifact. Yeah, it was like a real like old ancient artifact and they never gave it back. There's video of this one. Tourist has climbed over the guardrail and damaged two of the terracotta warriors, the ancient Chinese life-size statue things. Why is he doing that? Why is he climbing over the guardrail? He's a 30 year old man, he jumped the guardrail and the protective net into a five meter deep pit where the 2,000 year old Terracotta Warriors are.
Starting point is 00:27:23 Ella, you and your new husband have just come back from China, this wasn't you guys, was it? No, I promise. Really? She sounded cagey then. You did come home a little bit early, didn't you, you weren't fleeing the country? Oh no.
Starting point is 00:27:36 Were you deported? Mm. Maybe. What have you got against the terracotta warriors? The terracotta warriors are one of my all time favourite things. Yeah. Like in terms of that kind of, I mean I would love to, it's on my list of things to see.
Starting point is 00:27:50 You'd love to see it, eh? Oh, it's just incredible and then now this idiot has gone and broken one of them, two of them. The guy damaged two warriors. I asked Chet GPT today how much each individual terracotta warrior is worth. It said individual terracotta warriors are considered priceless cultural relics and are not for sale but they do so they don't have a formal market value. But they have to put some sort of price on them to get them insured right? Well chat GPT found me a black market valuation for them and it said they range from several hundred
Starting point is 00:28:26 thousand to over one million US dollars per warrior depending on the condition it's in and the territory in which it was found. In 2017 someone sold a thumb from one of the Terracotta Warriors for 10,000 US dollars. Oh my God. Just a thumb. So why was this guy in there? Oh, I don't think he was. And did he go to jail?
Starting point is 00:28:53 I don't know, I don't know. Was he drunk? I think he was somewhat impaired. Yeah, I think there was something going on. Oh, well that's, well they probably need to put better barriers in. They're in a five metre pit. That's the Harambe argument from you.
Starting point is 00:29:07 They're like, well the gorilla shouldn't have been there in the first place. Five metres. Nah, he could climb down there. There's a guard rail and a net and then a five metre pit. That's not enough. Give me a few Volca Lime sodas, I can do anything. Parkour.
Starting point is 00:29:23 We wanna know the most expensive thing you've broken. This guy has potentially damaged two million dollar statues so it doesn't have to be that big. Imagine waking up the next day. Yeah. Just thinking about that. Oh. You said to your mates, I didn't do anything too bad last night did I? Yeah. I mean you did climb down into a five meter pit and then damage some you know ancient relics. You destroyed two of the Terracotta Warriors but you're all good you're all good no one yeah people thought it was funny. You're like but I didn't say anything stupid to anyone we know though. People thought you were crack up. And they're like no you didn't say anything stupid. No no you're all good. You're all good. Sweet what a relief.. Oh, $800 at M, the most expensive thing you've broken.
Starting point is 00:30:06 Was it work property? Was it a friend's something? Was it something at a museum? I don't know. What was it? You know what, man, but worst nightmare is, and I feel like girls can really relate to this. Maybe boys not so much, because I don't think boys borrow each other's clothes as much.
Starting point is 00:30:22 No. But when you borrow something really nice from a friend. Yes. And something goes wrong. Or your mum. You wear some of mum's jewellery. Yeah. And there's no fixing it.
Starting point is 00:30:33 No. That's my worst nightmare. Oh, $100 ZM. Or you can text your story into 9696. We want to know the most expensive thing you've ever broken this afternoon. The ZM Podcast Network. Boy, there are some texts coming through on this. We want to know the most expensive thing you've ever broken this afternoon. The ZM Podcast Network. Boy, there are some ticks coming through on this.
Starting point is 00:30:49 A lot of people breaking expensive things at work. Yeah, that's my worst nightmare. Horrible situation to break something at work. What about this one? I borrowed a dehumidifier from the neighbours we had recently met. He went on and on about how good it is and he's had it for years and all their family uses it and it works really well. Upon taking it back to my house I accidentally dropped it and it broke into a million pieces. He was
Starting point is 00:31:16 good about it but my wife won't ever let me borrow anything from them ever again. No, no how embarrassing., that's it. Yeah. Done. He loved that dehumidifier. Yeah. Angela is here. Hi, Angela. Hi, Angela.
Starting point is 00:31:30 Hi, how are you guys? We're good. What's the most expensive thing you destroyed, Angela? Oh, I flushed my granddad's pocket watch down the toilet. Just for fun. How did you manage that? We had like a little like nib wall next to the toilet, a half wall thing and I borrowed it from my mum's jewelry box that I'm asking for starters. And I think as I stood up, I just, it was like one of those things, I flashed and knocked it in all at the same time.
Starting point is 00:31:58 Oh, that's a nightmare. I watched it go down. I've got two questions for you. How old were you and did you own up to it? I had to own up to it. I was at high school. You know when you did the traffic surveys at school and you needed a watch? I don't know if you ever did that at school. Oh yeah, you sit there and you count the cars. Yeah. It was that. So it was a really stupid reason. And I had to tell my mum that first of all, I went in her room and took it out of a draw box for that. And then also that I had flushed it.
Starting point is 00:32:23 Was she fuming when you told her? She was fuming. I'm still, I'm flushed with pink cheeks now just remembering the conversations I had with my mum. Wait, so Angela, I'm guessing by the way you're talking, the watch was never retrieved. Oh no, it was never retrieved. Using your grandad's vintage gold pocket watch to do a school assignment is next level, Angela. I'm committed, what can I say? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Obviously.
Starting point is 00:32:52 Amelia's here and I'm at $100.00 at M. Hi Amelia. Hi Amelia. Hey guys. What did the apprentice break at work? So when I was a first year apprentice, I accidentally spilled like a whole tray like two litres worth of paint on carpet. Oh no. But the worst part is that it was the only room in the entire house that was not getting re-carpeted. Oh of course. It's Murphy's law. Yeah. And the room happened to be the home gym so my boss had to pay for the guy to be hired to come and disassemble all the equipment,
Starting point is 00:33:30 pay another guy to replace the carpet, and then pay the first guy to come back and reassemble all of the equipment. Oh my God. It's been four years since then. And I still hear about it from my boss. How much do you reckon all up with all that involved? I don't, he wouldn't let me know the exact number because he know I would cry.
Starting point is 00:33:50 Yeah. Oh, he's a good boss then, but I reckon after four years. In the tens of thousands. Yeah. Wow. You're the only four year apprentice, eh Amelia? You're still an apprentice. I'm actually a foreman now, funnily enough.
Starting point is 00:34:02 Oh my God. Yeah. Well, that's inspirational for other apprentices out there. Nice Amelia. Warwick's here, hi Warwick. Hi Warwick. Kia ora fam, how's it going? Good thanks, what was the most expensive thing you broke Warwick? Oh it was an 8 million pounds collector's edition high-end sports car. What? 8 million pounds? Pounds. Her Majesty's currency. His Majesty. His Majesty rather, yeah. King's birthday and all. What sort of car? It's okay, I'm not a car guy. Yeah, clearly. It's the kind of car that James Bond would drive. Okay. Like an Aston Martin? Yeah, something like that. Old school, classic car. Had a lot of buttons. Looks really cool. Like a Bugatti or something.
Starting point is 00:34:45 Yeah, something like that. But we were working at an auction house. And for some reason, just Kiwis and Aussies working in London, and they were like, oh, we'll get these guys to just like maneuver the cars, drive them. No. But you step in them, and you get a group of guys who push them all up on stage.
Starting point is 00:34:59 And I was like, OK. I passed up on the DeLorean, you know, the Back to the Future car. And I was like, I want this one. It looks cool. And all went fine. Got up on stage, opened the car door, got out and shut it. And as I did it, one of the, like, the Perspex glass frame of the window just, like, cracked open. Yeah. And my face just... Yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:24 Dried. Yeah. Oh, I know Oh, well that's not your fault. No, that's not your fault. But it's a shame you didn't use the DeLorean because then you could have just gone back in time to before you destroyed the car. Great Scott. We're going to go back 10 minutes ago. Oh well, live and learn. Someone said I walked a stand into a helicopter tail rotor blade. It cost $250,000 US dollars to repair. Oh that makes me feel sick. Someone else said I work at a car rental company. I backed a brand new Ford Ranger into a brand new Kia Carnival within two weeks of them coming onto the fleet.
Starting point is 00:36:00 Oh god, gutted. I broke the fake, oh this is a hard one to say, I broke the shake thickness sensor on the Shake Sunday machine at Maccas when I was cleaning it. Sensor cost a few hundred dollars but the machine was out of order for three days. Yeah but that's okay, the shake machine's always broken in McDonald's. So it was you. You're the one. You're the reason it wasn't working. Someone else said,
Starting point is 00:36:27 learning to drive the forklifts as an 18 year old and I put the fork straight through a pallet of coke. Oh yeah, coke's cheap though. It would have been messy but coke's cheap. It would have exploded. Can you imagine what it's been like? PIL! It's ZM's Bree and Clint podcast. We were just talking about the expensive thing, the most expensive thing you ever broke and someone said, my teacher broke a gondola when we were on a trip to Japan. It cost $117,000 to replace.
Starting point is 00:36:56 She overloaded it with people beyond the weight limit. She claimed it's because she can't speak Japanese. The weight limit sign was in English. Yeah. It's so embarrassing too, when you're like at work or with a group of people and something goes wrong. Well, you lose all credibility as a teacher too, when you're the one who commits that. And then you're trying to get out of it.
Starting point is 00:37:18 You're like, Miss, you always told us we should take responsibility for our actions. She's like, yes, you should, not me. I can't afford to pay for this gondola. And that's why being a teacher is good as well because you get a whole new bunch of students the next year. You know, that don't have any of that past recollection. Yeah, yeah, yeah, like if you're a parent
Starting point is 00:37:36 and you muck up in front of your kids, they're gonna remember. Oh, you're bored. That's it, you're done. They're gonna remember forever. Forever. Teachers, cycle them out. Yeah. Cycle them out.
Starting point is 00:37:43 It's a good system, actually. I like it, yeah. Ella is back from her honeymoon, Forever. Teachers, cycle them out. Yeah. Cycle them out. It's a good system actually. I like it, yeah. Ella is back from her honeymoon, which means it's her first time in almost two months to face us in Let's Get Classical. How are you feeling, Ella? Well, I just want to let you know. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:57 I'm feeling good, but also I'm loyal and honest because I was in the room as Claudia was loading this game into the system. I couldn't hear anything. I didn't know she was doing it, but I looked over and saw the YouTube clip, right? But I told her, Claudia, I can see it! And I didn't look at the title or the artist or anything. So I'm very honest.
Starting point is 00:38:18 Are we accepting that? Her being so upfront and overcompensating makes me feel like you did see it. Yeah, correct. I agree. I think thou don't protest too much. Whoa. Okay. I won't admit to my uh, honesties anymore. In fact, I'll lie.
Starting point is 00:38:36 I'm gonna be a liar now. It's the best way to be, Ella. It's way more fun. Look, it's helpful for the people who are betting on us, because they know that you have some form of inside running. I don't! All I saw on YouTube was a piano. Over to you guys. Integrity aside... But that's a car from Thousand Miles.
Starting point is 00:38:50 Yeah. How'd you know? That could be, actually. It's ZM's Brinklin podcast. Let's Get Classical. Let's Get Classical. The return of producer Ella in this week's round of Let's Get classic. Cool. The return of producer Ella in this week's round of Let's Get Classical.
Starting point is 00:39:08 Who played me when I was away? ZM Music Director Pixie. Ooh, that's very good. And there was more on the line each week in terms of us playing. Because we played every week for a chance at choosing songs to play the next day if she lost. That's fun. Did you get to win?
Starting point is 00:39:27 Yeah we did win a couple of times. Got anything you want to wager? Lunch on Friday. Oh good one. You want to buy both of us lunch? Maybe just drinks. That's a horrible deal for you. There's two of us and buy one.
Starting point is 00:39:43 I just want you to buy me lunch. Okay, so Ella can play for Claudia and Ella, so we would have to buy them drinks. Wait, then I have to buy them drinks? Yeah, Claudia, yeah, yeah. I'm a neutral party here. That sucks for you guys. I feel like no matter who wins or loses, should buy me a drink.
Starting point is 00:39:56 Just, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. I'm a package deal. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Let's just play for the people who text in, shall we? Okay. Go on then. Claudia, kick us off. Hello everyone, this is Let's Get Classical. These are text in, shall we? Okay. Go on then. Claudia, kick us off. Hello everyone. This is Let's Get Classical.
Starting point is 00:40:06 These are pop songs turned into a classical style. Generally I go for a piano and I feel like I should diversify, but not today, it's all piano. Bre and Katelyn are working as a team and Ella is on her own and the first person to give me two artists and two songs correct will take home the win. Got it. Are we ready?
Starting point is 00:40:24 Here is your first classical song. Oh, Ella! It's right there. Shakira, Hipstone Life. Yes it is. Wow. My brain is like, you know it, you know it. Well done Ella. My hips are moving.
Starting point is 00:40:56 I was trying to think of a new song. They're the same. I will say, I've done a mix of new and old today. That was in our wheelhouse, Claire. Now we're in trouble. Yeah, Ella could take it here, so you guys really need this one. same. I will say I've done a mix of new and old today. That was in our wheelhouse. Now we're in trouble. Yeah, Ella could take it here. So you guys really need this one. Here's another. Ella! I know it. Revolving door to the crane. For the win. It is!
Starting point is 00:41:29 Lunch on you guys! Jeez, you should have made that bet after all Ella. Yeah, you should have made the shot for that bet. I did! Check the tape. Check the tape. You know it's all recorded right? Hey, well done, that's a good win. Kelsey, you correctly picked Ella to win Let's Get Classical today and we've got
Starting point is 00:41:45 50kfc chicken dollars coming your way. Amazing, thank you. Before you didn't cheat. I didn't. Oh yeah we forgot she cheated. That's right Kelsey. Yeah she cheated. I promise you I didn't. Hollow victory for Ella.
Starting point is 00:41:57 That's why she left the first one longer to make it seem like she wasn't. Doesn't affect you though Kelsey you still get the KFC. Well done Kelsey. And Ella gets the KFC. Well done, Kelsey. Honestly. And Ella gets the shame. Shame. Shame. Shame.
Starting point is 00:42:10 Shame. I feel no shame. Yeah. Just on her. Good song. Yeah. We'll play it next, actually. Play Zayn Eames, Bree and Clint.
Starting point is 00:42:23 I don't know about you guys, but for me as I get older, I think I search for perspective sometimes. Oh, OK. You know, that's something that I do because I get quite lost, I feel like, in life. And I look for these moments or these signs to be like, oh, that's given me the perspective that I need. Sure. OK. And I had one of these moments and you wouldn't believe where I found it was on TikTok of all places.
Starting point is 00:42:49 Oh, okay. No, no, no, hear me out. Alarm bells are ringing already. Hear me out. Hear me out. Yeah, yeah. Hear me out. And it was just this random guy that popped up on my TikTok and it was, it's a make-believe
Starting point is 00:43:01 scenario but it gave me perspective. Take a listen. I saw this girl say whenever she's in a funk, she gets herself out of it by playing this game with herself where she pretends her 80 year old self is coming back to relive this day today and how grateful you'd be and what you do differently. How would you live it? You'd probably have more fun. You'd probably be a little bit less worried knowing that everything was going to work
Starting point is 00:43:24 out and experience it from a different perspective without having the worries of everything in the future. Yeah. It just gives you perspective. Perspective. You know? Yeah, it does. Yeah, it does.
Starting point is 00:43:40 Because you're stepping back, you're zooming out and you're going, hey, all this stuff's pretty good. Exactly. And I think it's even like someone said to me the other day, where we all have this feeling, you know, where you see a photo of yourself from however many years ago and you look at yourself in that photo and you're like, I remember how I felt and I didn't like myself or my body very much, but I would give anything to go back or like to look like that now. Oh, yeah. You know, yeah Yeah, but you might think you look in the mirror you go. I'm starting to look old
Starting point is 00:44:13 No, you look old when you're 80 and you'll wish and you'll look at yourself back here at this day in this moment But it's not even just it's not even just superficial things like looks. Like even now you'll look back at times when you were younger, where you were like, and back then you were like, I have no money, shit's really hard. But you'll look back at it now and you'll go, yeah, but you had no responsibilities. Yeah, God. You had no, you could do whatever you want
Starting point is 00:44:41 on whatever night you wanted and it didn't matter. And right now in my life, I would give up any money that I have to have no responsibilities for a day. And you had friends. Yep. You'd be so nice. You never have more friends than you do when you're that age as well. I think at the core of it for me, it's about trying to be in the moment as much as you
Starting point is 00:45:02 can. trying to be in the moment as much as you can, you know, in the like, you know, today or tomorrow, but just trying to be present. Yeah. And enjoy what's happening in the moment, you know? I think for me, it's about not complaining about how much my back and left knee hurt, because I know when I'm 80, they're going to hurt so much more. I hear you. For me, it's my hip at the moment. Perspective. Oh, perspective. Anyway. Perspective. Oh perspective. Anyway.
Starting point is 00:45:27 All right nice. ZM's Bree and Clint podcast. Very famous sister duo Gigi and Bella Hadid have went out in the media and said hey we found out we had a half sister a couple of years ago. Damn it someone's texted again hoping it was the Olsen twins. Well, they have that. A third Olsen twin. No. Oh, you mean, well, that would be triplets. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:45:53 And they also have their other famous sister. Do they? Do you not know that they've got another famous sister? Do they? What's her name? I don't know, but she's in the Avengers and she's famous. Very famous. When you Google Olsen sisters, it just gives you Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, but there is a picture of them with a third.
Starting point is 00:46:13 Elizabeth Olsen. Elizabeth Olsen, that's her name, yeah. What? Have you never heard of her? Lifelong Olsen fan here, still learning facts about the Olsen twins. I can't believe you haven't heard of Elizabeth Olsen. she's very famous she's one of the Avengers. No it's not the Olsen twins or sisters yeah the Hadids got a half sister. Buzzy so who who were dad obviously? Obviously so turns out I their half-sister was because their dad Muhammad hadid
Starting point is 00:46:48 had a brief relationship with a woman named Terry dull and They've also come out and said that it was after He got divorced from their mom So it was very brief relationship after he and Yolanda divorced, right? But yeah, here's the kicker though, they didn't know about her until a couple of years ago. And I'm pretty sure this half-sister, she's like 19 or 20, something like that, and they found out a couple of years ago and now they've got a relationship, they've met, they know each other. He's a very, very wealthy property developer, which means this half-sister is now an heir
Starting point is 00:47:40 to that fortune as well, surely. Yeah, so it turns out this half-sister, she was born and raised in Florida and she grew up with a man who she thought to be her father, but then he passed away a couple of years ago and then so that's what sent her on this hunt where she decided to take a genetic test out of curiosity and then can you imagine? Can you imagine this girl goes, oh, I'm going to take this test. I'm going to go on ancestry.com. I wonder if I've got any family out there. It says I'm linked to the Hadid sisters. What? Turns out Bella Hadid is my sister. What in the world? It sounds like the plotline to a Lindsay Lohan movie. It does. Isn't that wild? Crazy. A good friend of mine actually, this happened to her
Starting point is 00:48:33 not that long ago and her and her sisters found out that they had a half sister. More and more of this stuff is happening with those ancestry DNA things right? And it was from an affair that their dad had. Oh, Dodgy, yeah okay. Yeah, but and they never knew and now they and they met up and now they all have a relationship and it's like a nice thing. We have these conversations from time to time on this show and you would be amazed or maybe you wouldn't how many people from like our parents generation come through and hear stories about dodgy old grandad who just went around different postcodes. Because back then
Starting point is 00:49:11 all you really had to do to disappear was move to the town over. Literally. And they would not find you. No, how would you? No, exactly right. Just go under a different name. That's it. Or just stop paying your phone bill and they're, oh well, guess they're gone now. Never find them again. I thought it'd be quite interesting to ask people listening, have you or did you find out you had a half sibling or maybe even a full sibling? That has happened before too. Full sibling, yeah. A lot less likely, obviously the half sibling more likely. But yeah, did you find out later in life and how did you find out?
Starting point is 00:49:49 And what did your dad say when you found out? Dad's like, what? What? Hey! What? Hey! No! What's this website, ancestry.com, that you're talking about?
Starting point is 00:50:00 No, it must be rubbish. Yeah, I don't think you should be putting your DNA into those databases. I think we just stay away from it. Well, Dad, if you weren't putting your DNA into things, you wouldn't be in this situation. Exactly. We're asking if you found out you had a half sibling, a connection later in life, and how you found out about them. The Hadid sisters have just revealed they've got a secret half sister. Yeah. Not a secret anymore. Wonder if the half sister is going to be on the reality tv show. It says in the article that obviously she wants to keep her privacy and her family's privacy and
Starting point is 00:50:39 they're not... She doesn't want to do modeling? No, I don't think so. But I mean she's a pretty girl. She kind of looks like them. Yeah right. But yeah they only found out a pretty girl. She kind of looks like them. Yeah, right. But yeah, they only found out a couple of years ago. So we asked, did you find out about a half sibling? Someone said, I confirmed that I had a half brother through Ancestry DNA.
Starting point is 00:50:54 We decided to do the test because he found me on Facebook and said that we had the same dad. My dad refused to acknowledge that the guy was his. We were both in our early 20s at the time, and the sistery confirmed that he was definitely my half brother, and we have not told my dad yet. Wow, that's crazy. Dad knows, dad's just refusing to accept it.
Starting point is 00:51:16 Oh, dad knows, yeah, there's a reason dad's refusing. Emily's here, hi Emily. Hi Emily. Hi. Tell us, has this happened to you Emily? Did you find out you had a half sibling somewhere? I found out that the dad I grew up with was not my biological dad so my sister that I grew up with is a half sister.
Starting point is 00:51:35 Oh my god. Wow. And how old were you and how did you find out? I was 28. Oh my god. So older in life. My mum sat me down and told me. And my biological father had had updates on me throughout my whole life.
Starting point is 00:51:52 And my sister actually found out before me, she found out 10 years before when I was 17, because she went flatting and someone moved into her flat and hit me. And then they sat her down and they went, I have to tell you that your sister is my cousin, my uncle is her dad. What? Photo updates on her. So yeah you were kind of the last one to find out Emily. I was the last to find out. Did that piss you off? Would obviously make you angry and upset a little bit. No, not really because a few years before, and this is where it gets messy, my life's like a reality show. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:29 A few years beforehand, my dad, who I thought was my dad, had come to me because someone contacted him to say I think I'm your kid. And so we'd already gone through finding out. We had a half-surprise sibling as well. Who was adopted out. Wait, akin to the guy you thought was your dad
Starting point is 00:52:48 but wasn't actually your dad. Was, yeah, so- So that's not your half sibling? So it's not my half sibling. Oh, wow. I went through the meeting the person. My sister's half sibling, but not mine. But Emily-
Starting point is 00:53:00 She's exactly three months older than my sister, so. Oh my god, this is like a reality show. And did you- Everyone was just doing the dirty on each other. Yeah. The guy that obviously your dad, who's not your biological dad, but your dad,
Starting point is 00:53:14 did he know that he wasn't your dad? Your biological dad? He didn't know Oh wow. I at 28 was the one that got to sit down and confirm that for him. No, Emily.
Starting point is 00:53:26 Emily. Oh, that sucks. Oh, you poor thing. That's horrible. This is a movie. Yeah. It's like a movie. Is everyone all good now?
Starting point is 00:53:34 Is everyone all good now? Yeah, well, I mean, my parents haven't spoken to each other for many years. They hadn't anyway, so that was never an issue. Right. So that wasn't like, yeah, that came out of it. Oh, wow. At least for me, I'm not a big fan of that. I'm not a big fan of that.
Starting point is 00:53:42 I'm not a big fan of that. I'm not a big fan of that. I'm not a big fan of that. I'm not a big fan of that. I'm not a big fan of that. I'm not a big fan of that. I'm not a big fan of that. And then my parents haven't spoken to each other for many years. They hadn't anyway, so that was never an issue. Right, so that wasn't like, yeah, that came out of it. Oh wow. At least you found out. At least you found out. Kat's here. Hi, Kat.
Starting point is 00:53:53 Hi, Kat. Oh, hi guys. Is yours as juicy as that? Kinda. Well, first of all, it's a first time call. Okay, let's lighten the mood, absolutely. First time call. Go Kat.
Starting point is 00:54:04 Go Kat. Go Kat. Let's lighten the mood, absolutely. Go Kat, go Kat, go Kat. And what a topic to call through on Kat. So it happened to my mum. So my grandfather had eight children. Two girls from his first marriage, four kids from his second marriage and then two secret half-brothers that my mum didn't know about in between. They were born two weeks apart to two different women. No!
Starting point is 00:54:35 Did they invent the term Big Ruda for your granddad? Wow! Possibly. Oh, was your granddad the best looking guy in the town or what? I think he was actually quite good looking. Yeah, it sounds like he was. And when did your mum find out about these half brothers of hers? I'm not sure exactly when she found out about them, but I remember when I was 15, I remember
Starting point is 00:55:01 it was an Easter Sunday so all the stores were closed and I had a knock at the door and there was this man standing on the front door and goes, oh hi, does Lisa live here? And I was like, no, there's a random man at the door for you. Yeah. He comes down the stairs not expecting anyone and he's like, oh, I'm like your half brother. Oh, hey, I'm your brother. Yeah, and then my auntie, her full sister turned up and she's like, oh yeah, did I not tell you she was coming in?
Starting point is 00:55:27 Mum was so annoyed, did you want to be being any sister? There was no store, nothing to buy. Wow. It feels a bit shell shocked about the whole thing. I bet she did. That's wild. Let's get one more. Sophia is here.
Starting point is 00:55:40 Hi Sophia. Hi Sophia. Hi, how are you going? Good, thanks. Did you find out you had a half sibling? Yeah, yeah. So I found out that I had a half sister through the Norwegian version of the Missing Pieces TV show. What do you mean? You were contacted by Norwegian David Lomas? Yeah, pretty much. Well, not me personally, but yeah, my dad. So, yeah, he sat us down on one of five girls and he said, girls, you've got an older sister.
Starting point is 00:56:14 Had dad been a dirty dog or? It was, she was a lot older than us. So, like when he was young and overseas working. Obviously he had a good trip to Norway. So like when he was young and overseas working. Obviously he had a good trip to Norway. Yeah, absolutely. Wow, so how old were you when your dad set you and your sisters down and said, hey, you've got a half sister out there? I was about 15, I think.
Starting point is 00:56:41 Have you met her? Yes, yeah. So the TV show flew her out to New Zealand. Oh my god! Did she look like you guys? No, she doesn't look like us but she definitely looks like our nana. Wow, so you can see like a bit of family resemblance. That's crazy. And do you still have a relationship with her now? Um, we don't keep so much in contact with her, but, um, her she's got a son and a daughter that are closer in age to us.
Starting point is 00:57:12 So we keep in contact with like our niece and nephew. Yeah. If you ever go to Norway, you've got a couch to sleep on, you know? Yeah. Yeah. Well, a couple of my sisters have visited her in Norway. She's your sister. She's got to put you up. So many stories. This is so much more common than anybody realises. So many amazing stories coming through on the text machine as well.
Starting point is 00:57:33 One more. It says, I'm adopted but found out in my twenties that I have an unidentical twin who's a girl. We were separated at birth. Mum could only manage one child, so she kept the girl. Easier to raise in the 70s apparently. She lives in London, had no idea about having a twin brother until I tracked the mother down, et cetera, et cetera. Crazy stuff.
Starting point is 00:57:55 We have met and done the oh my god thing, but I don't really have anything to do with any of them as I was almost 30 when we met and I don't have any connection and don't want to but in a nice way. That's your full-blood twin. That's your full-blood twin out there. That's wild. A full-blood twin. Not just sibling. Not a half sister. A twin. You guys shared a whom.
