Starting point is 00:00:00 The ZM Podcast Network Welcome to the ZM Podcast Where one of us has COVID Which one is it? Which one of us has the real cough? It's COVID bingo, it's definitely me I don't believe you I'm so sick, this is what I'm sick for.
Starting point is 00:00:25 I'm so sick. That's Bree's attempt at convincing you. Anastasia? Hey, Clint. How are you? Oh, bless you. Bless you, Anastasia. Your microphone's not on, but that's not bad.
Starting point is 00:00:37 That's not bad at all. Anastasia, do you want some of these? Oh, shit. Sorry, guys. Are you well, Clint? It's fun dying, eh? I'm taking myself out of this comp. Sam, give it a go.
Starting point is 00:00:50 So, Chef Sam, what do you reckon? I don't know if there's a great way to put on the podcast just, like, sleeping, trying to have a nap. You know, that'd be me. You've blown it straight away. You've blown your cover. Well, I guess it's down to me and Bree. Why don't you just play your cover too?
Starting point is 00:01:05 Fuck. The winner of COVID is Bree. Well done, Bree. You finally got it. That's awesome, man. Yay. How does it feel? It feels so good to be a winner.
Starting point is 00:01:17 It chose you. The pride of life. So, Bree, you've had it. Clint, have you had it? No, I'm a virgin. Ooh. And Anastasia? Huh?
Starting point is 00:01:28 Brie, we reckon Anastasia's had it. I reckon she's had it. No. Something, yes. Okay, so I like that line. Didn't know, it just doesn't want to own up. No, because sometimes Clint makes it out that I lied about my rats, which I would never put anyone in danger.
Starting point is 00:01:44 Whoa, what an allegation. But I've 100% had it like six times. I just haven't known. I, Bree, I did not pretend that she, you weren't here, Bree, but I did not pretend she had lied about her rats. Yes, you did. I did not. I just questioned whether you knew how to take a rat test properly.
Starting point is 00:02:01 Huh? Yeah. Actually, the other way. Where have you been inserting it? No, well, actually, I've got a story about this because you guys joked about it the other day, but some people, if you've got a sore throat and it's coming back negative, you do put it, you swab your throat, which is something people are doing. Yeah, it is.
Starting point is 00:02:19 No, don't take the piss. I swabbed my throat today, Bree, after finding out that you had it and sharing a studio with you yesterday. I swabbed my throat today, Brie, after finding out that you had it and sharing a studio with you yesterday. I swabbed the throat and then up the nose. And I've got to say, it's quite nice. It's like because it lubricates. Wow. What?
Starting point is 00:02:33 It lubricates the swab before it goes into your nose. Do you just have like no gag reflex? No, I just wiped around the back of my throat, got it wet, and then it's nice and lubed up when it goes into your nose. Whereas before, you're raw dogging your nostril with this dry swab, and I find it a bit uncomfortable. But a little bit of saliva, not bad. How do you ever thought about getting into gay porn?
Starting point is 00:02:54 Because you would make a shit ton of money. He's enjoying it, eh? I, look. Anyway. You just said it's quite nice. It's much nicer than the dry one. Well, that's what you should have said. The throat bit is not nice, but the throat bit makes the nose bit nicer.
Starting point is 00:03:10 It gets better over time, though. Hey, real chat. Have you guys ever met someone who actually doesn't have a gag reflex? No. I used to go to school with this girl, and it's actually quite bad because you can't throw up what right okay yeah so it's actually quite dangerous to not have one plus you never know where to stop putting the banana in that yeah you know a lot of people go to the er with the throat with an entire banana
Starting point is 00:03:40 lodged in their esophagus yeah Yeah. Yeah. It's quite dangerous. No, because they can't just tell when to stop and take a bite, can they? That's it. It's just all one. Yeah, it just slides down. Oh, yeah. Speaking from experience. What the hell? You know what, Bri, that's actually a good point.
Starting point is 00:03:55 We don't know if any of us are lacking a gag reflex. So maybe tomorrow on the show we get Anastasia to pick up four nice big bananas. No, so the, yeah. I'm kind of halfway in between. Like, I can't get myself to throw up. But I definitely have a gag reflex. Like. Well, we'll find out tomorrow.
Starting point is 00:04:11 Well, you've got a problem because I hate bananas. Well, then you'll gag straight away and we'll know that you have a gag reflex. Yeah, I just hold it in there. Hey, Sam, what food definitely do you not eat? Like, what's the worst food to you? What's the worst? Like jelly, custard. Oh, come on.
Starting point is 00:04:29 Aren't you Sushi of Sam? Anastasia, can we please organise some jelly custard for tomorrow? With bananas on it. Let's go trifle. Let's go trifle. Banana flavoured. I love trifle, eh? And a banana nut.
Starting point is 00:04:41 But also, he's Sushi of Sam. He's meant to love everything. Hold on. Okay, hold on. Where was that part of the rule? Like, this was just something that Clint came up with. The sous chef just means he's assisting. It's not a literal job description.
Starting point is 00:04:57 Shit. So I can't be asking you to cater my next birthday party. Anyway, back to Bree's COVID. Have you Googled, like, hacks? Like, you know how people are like, this is a Bree's COVID. Have you googled hacks? You know how people are like, this is a hangover cure. Have you googled COVID cures? I haven't. I've been drinking a lot of water.
Starting point is 00:05:13 Which normally, as you know, I tend to not drink enough water all the time, but I've drunk so much water. Are you going to get on the beers? No, definitely not. I'm not someone to get on the beers during the week anyway. Are not someone to get on the beers during the week anyway so you're gonna get on the whiskey to kill the bacteria in your throat because you should you had a sore throat maybe that's a good idea maybe getting on a few whiskeys wouldn't be a
Starting point is 00:05:35 bad thing i don't necessarily think it's a bad thing yeah well you report back it's quite a shock when you do the rat test because i've done so many rat tests and they're all negative and then i was like uh i'm gonna take another one just to make sure i'm gonna do another one just to make sure um not the best feeling but i mean you know it happens so yeah yeah well i feel like average i feel like i've got a flu i'm really interested to hear and talk to you each day and see how it progresses. Hopefully it's mild. I mean, you really should have got that
Starting point is 00:06:10 vaccination when you had the chance. I know, but I just didn't feel like going. Nah, I'm triple vax so hopefully that helps me. Have you got your obrits yet? What's your first order going to be? I mean, suggestions guys. I'm open to suggestions.
Starting point is 00:06:25 Chinese. Definitely not bat soap. No way. No, I was meaning actually sweet sour pork. I wouldn't have said that if I knew Anastasia was going to say Chinese at the same time. No, but I was meaning like because I had really nice sweet sour pork last night. I do love sweet sour pork. Good one, Anastasia.
Starting point is 00:06:41 You just got me cancelled. Anastasia, you love yourself a bit of pork on the fork, don't you? Especially with the lack of gag reflex. Is that it? Let's go. Let's tag out. Bree, get well soon. We'll talk to you tomorrow.
Starting point is 00:06:52 Enjoy the podcast, everybody. Take care, Bree. All right. Bye. Thanks, guys. Well, howdy, children. What time is it? Three, two, one.
Starting point is 00:07:03 It is Bree and Clint. Hey, kia ora, everybody, and welcome to the show. It's Bree and Clint. Hey, good everybody and welcome to the show. It's Bree and Clint. Kia ora, Bree. G'day, guys. Why do you sound all weird? Do I sound weird? Nah, I'm just here.
Starting point is 00:07:17 You're just here in the studio with me, are you? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's all good. Yeah, okay. No, finally, finally it has happened, Clint. Yeah. One of us has gone down with the spicy cough.
Starting point is 00:07:30 No! And I've lost all the bits. Uh-oh. Man down. That got you. It finally got me after years of dodging this thing. Yeah. I tested this morning and it is positive. Where do you reckon you got it? Look, it's so hard to say. Probably, I'm going to say Friday night, Ben's leaving drinks. Yeah, right. Look, I was really careful, but I mean, as we know, this thing is so
Starting point is 00:08:06 contagious, so there's no dodging it if someone is in the vicinity and it's just one of those things, you know, but I am broadcasting from home. We're keeping safe. We're distancing. Do you feel okay? Yeah, I feel not too bad. I do feel like I've got a flu, but my throat's not super sore and I don't feel super horrible, but this is day one. So we'll see how we go. We'll be on the journey with you if you continue to broadcast. I was saying to you today, mate, you've got to use your sick leave.
Starting point is 00:08:33 You've got to get in there. This is a once in a lifetime pandemic. If you're not going to take a sick day for this, when are you going to use your sick days? Remember, Jacinda doubled our sick days. You've got to use them. Did she? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:44 I can't even remember that, mate. In the four and a half years that I've worked at ZM, I've never taken a sick day. So, you know, maybe now's the time. You've also never contracted a global pandemic, so, you know. That's true. That's true. Bree and Clint.
Starting point is 00:09:01 Bree and Clint. Tradies versus ladies. Right, here we go. The tradies versus the ladies. Clint, from memory, the score is 39 to 24. Well done, yes. For someone who can't see the scoreboard, that was not bad at all. Hey, not bad.
Starting point is 00:09:20 It hasn't affected my brain yet. Let's meet our lady first. She's 19 years old. She's from Pairoa and she is a New Zealand touch representative. Welcome to't affected my brain yet. Let's meet our lady first. She's 19 years old. She's from Pairoa and she is a New Zealand Touch representative. Welcome to the show, Jessie. G'day, Jessie. G'day. Have you had a lemon in Pairoa today, seeing as you are from Pairoa?
Starting point is 00:09:37 I assume you guys have to have one a day to live there. I actually don't like it. What? You're from Pairoa and you don't like L&P? Yeah. You can't like it. What? You're from Pairoa and you don't like L&P? Yeah. You can't say that. Wow. Outrageous. What would be your favourite drink then?
Starting point is 00:09:52 I'm going to say lemon lime and bitters probably. Oh, yeah. Okay. Oh, yeah. Nice. As long as it's got lemon in there, you get half a pass. Let's meet your opposition. Our tradie is 20 years old.
Starting point is 00:10:03 They're from Invercargill. And their best mate played on Tradie vs Lady yesterday. Welcome to the show, Kaysen. G'day, Kaysen. Are you looking to go back-to-back for your mates? Oh, yeah, of course. It's going to be easy, Dobbs. Are you from the roofing company?
Starting point is 00:10:17 Are you? Yes, CS Roofing. CS Roofing. No one puts a better roof over your head than CS Roofing. Exactly. That's all I like to hear. Well, if you lose, he's officially smarter than you. Just remember that, okay?
Starting point is 00:10:28 Rightio, rightio. Okay, case in your buzzer is tradie. Jess, yours is lady. First of three correct answers gets 50 bucks from KFC. Good luck. All right, guys, here we go. Question number one. The Met Gala is on today.
Starting point is 00:10:41 Right now, Kim Kardashian wore a $5 million dress that was previously owned by who? A, Marilyn Monroe, B, Marilyn Manson, or C, Margot Robbie? Lady. Yes, Jessie, just. Jessie. A. Marilyn Monroe, correct.
Starting point is 00:11:00 You've nailed it. You're on the board. One to the ladies. Question number two. How many edges does a cube have? 20. Yes, Kaysen. Yes, Kaysen.
Starting point is 00:11:12 Eight. Whoa. No, Jessie? 12. Well... Yeah. Yeah, well done. 12 is correct.
Starting point is 00:11:23 It was a full guess. Was it a guess? Because you had time to count them then, but that's good. You got it anyway. Congratulations. Two points to the ladies. You could take it here, Jessie. Question number three.
Starting point is 00:11:32 Kaysen, if you go down here, you're going to get, you'll go absolutely pantsed. It'll be 3-0. Well, mate, it's not over yet. You're right. It's not over yet. Good point. You can come back from this.
Starting point is 00:11:44 Question number three. What is the largest planet in the solar system? Is it A, Pluto? Yes, Jessie. She's gone and done it. She's gone and done it. She's a lady. Oh, oh, oh, she's a lady.
Starting point is 00:12:01 She crushed it. I'll take that on the turn, eh? I think you need to, Kaysen. Kaysen, I wouldn't be upset at that. That was phenomenal. I feel lied to. I feel cheated. After a conversation I had with some of my friends on the weekend,
Starting point is 00:12:19 where I learnt, and I'm not joking when I say this, I learnt for the first time. So as a kid, I don't know, and I'm pretty sure when I say this, I learnt for the first time. So as a kid, I don't know, and I'm pretty sure everyone would nearly be in the same boat. Did your parents ever tell you that it was illegal to have the interior light on in the car when you're driving? That is the number one lie from my childhood. So I only learnt the truth on the weekend.
Starting point is 00:12:44 I was like, what? Is this not illegal? It's funny you say that because you said, we're going to talk about lies that your parents told you when you were a kid. Can you write some down before the show? That's the one I wrote down. No.
Starting point is 00:12:57 I wasn't told that it was illegal. I was told that if you had the interior light on in the car, you will definitely crash. That's what they said. Whenever we were in the car, whenever we were in mum and dad's Toyota Cressida and we were driving from Auckland to where they said, if you turn that light on, we will crash. And I was like, wow, what is it about this light?
Starting point is 00:13:14 How bright could it be that it blinds the driver, you know? I love that my parents just went down the route where they wanted to scare me a little bit, but your parents like, if you turn that light on, we will crash. We will die. You know? Your parents went way further with it. It will be your fault.
Starting point is 00:13:32 So did you genuinely grow up until now thinking that the light on inside the car was illegal? Yeah, well, I thought, you know, I honestly thought this. And one of my friends was talking to me on the weekend, and they were like, yeah, remember when your parents told you blah, blah, blah? And I was like, pardon me? I was like, is that not true? Because whenever I'm driving and someone turns the interior light on, I'm always like, quick, turn it off if the cops are around.
Starting point is 00:13:57 What is it about the 90s or 90s cars where it was such a big deal? Because I don't feel like it's as big a deal now. Like if you and I were driving in a car at night time and you had to turn the light on to find something in the glove box or whatever, I don't feel like I'm going to swerve off the road. I don't feel like it's going to cause that big an accident. You know?
Starting point is 00:14:15 Like I don't think it would do anything at all. Yeah, it's a funny one. Why were parents so like hell-bent on telling all children this one particular lie? But I'm sure there's more. There's a whole lot more that parents just get together. Like, do they have PTA meetings and this is what they discuss? Here's the thing. We can out some of these lies this afternoon, but there will be young people in the car right now who will have their minds blown. There will be parents who are still using these
Starting point is 00:14:45 lies to manipulate their children into doing what they need to do. So just be aware of that. We're going to shatter some illusions this afternoon. And I'll start with one straight away. If your parents have told you that when the Mr. Whippy truck is playing the song, it means he's run out of ice cream. That's true. Okay, that's 100% true. That one is true. Your parents are good people and they just want the best for you. That is not a lie whatsoever. I mean, they wouldn't lie about ice cream.
Starting point is 00:15:10 If I know adults, they don't lie about that stuff. Bree and Clint. Parents, we are on to you. We know your games. We know you all get together and you have these meetings and you go, right, universal lies we're going to tell the kids. One that I recently only found out
Starting point is 00:15:29 wasn't true, Clint, was that it's not illegal to have your interior light on in the car when you're driving. What are you going to do with this new information now that you've got it? I'll probably maybe drive with the interior light on if I need to. You can now, can't you?
Starting point is 00:15:45 Think about that. I mean, life-changing. Oh, my God, your life has changed. We're going to out a few lies this afternoon. We're going to debunk a few parental myths. What were you told when you were a kid, Tessa? Hi, Tessa. Hi.
Starting point is 00:15:57 I was always told not to flick the light switches because it costs like 50 cents every time you flick them. That's brilliant. And it's true. When did you find out that that was, well, when did you find out that may not have been completely true, Tessa? I feel like not until I actually started paying a power bill myself. Yeah, right. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:16:20 I've got my own kids and I see why, though, because they do like to flick lights. Yeah, yeah, right. Anything like that. So have you started telling this lie to your own kids? Have you become like your parents? No, no, but I do. I had to pause the radio because I do tell them about the interior light and say that they can't have it on. See? You've now started to do it, Tessa.
Starting point is 00:16:40 Yeah, okay, thanks, Tessa. Helen's here as well. Hi, Helen. Hi, Helen. How are you doing? You're the offspring of big, fat liars, are you? What did they tell you? Well, we had the same one about the interior life of the car.
Starting point is 00:16:51 Until today, I thought it was illegal. So there you go, that one worked. But my parents told us that if you swallowed your chewing gum, it would stick to your ribs and you'd die. Yes, that is a claim. Oh, wait, you'd die. I didn't know the death part.
Starting point is 00:17:07 Yeah, yeah. I know the one where they said it stays in your system for like 25 years or something. I never heard a parent saying it would kill you. Yeah, I think they really hated chewing gum and the places we left it. I think we started swallowing it to hide it from them. Yeah. The fact that we were eating and chewing it. And I found myself telling my kids that it'll stick to their ribs.
Starting point is 00:17:30 When you think about it, I mean, that's complete lies, isn't it? It's lies that it stays in your system for that long too. I don't believe any of that. No, I'm sure it's out in one bowel movement, right? Yeah, it's not sticking in there. I mean, I've never checked, but I assume it just comes out. No, it's a lie. Let's go to've never checked, but I assume it just comes out. No, it's a lie.
Starting point is 00:17:46 Let's go to Tracy. Hi, Tracy. Hi, Trace. What's the lie that you were told as a kid from your parents? So I did learn about it a bit earlier than today, but when I was younger, my father always used to say after we saw a pregnant woman that she'd been bitten by the trouser snake and it was poisonous. Yeah, okay.
Starting point is 00:18:10 Yeah, and that you had to be very aware that should you ever come across a trouser snake, you were to run. So it wasn't until I was about 12 or 13 that I worked out that the trouser snake was a part of a male's appendix.
Starting point is 00:18:24 Yes, yes. No, yes, yes. No, no, no, no. We picked up on that, Tracy. We picked up on that. Where's it native to, the trouser snake? Well, and I was like, I've never seen one. South of the border. I've never seen one.
Starting point is 00:18:36 Yeah. Yeah. They're just south of the equator, the trouser snake. That's where you're just legitimately finding them. Right, okay. I've never seen one bite before. That would be an issue if you came across one that had teeth, okay. I've never seen one bite before. That would be an issue if you came across one
Starting point is 00:18:46 that had teeth, but there you go. No, I have. Have you? You've got to be careful. All right. Sam's here. G'day, Sam.
Starting point is 00:18:53 G'day, Sam. What's a lie your parents told you? So, mum told me and my brother that steak was for adults only. So, she would have... Wait a minute, Sam. Is this because she didn't want to pay for steak for her children? was for adults only. So she would have steak and veg. Is this because she didn't want to pay for steak for her children? Yeah, pretty much.
Starting point is 00:19:13 So they'd have steak for dinner and what would they feed you? So, well, she has a single mum, so it was like her one treat just for herself. So we'd have nuggets and she'd have steak and veg. Oh, not a bad trade-off. Oh, pretty good. Nuggets are good. Yeah. Yeah, we were pretty happy with nuggets, but yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:29 To be fair, I think most kids would take nugget over steak anyway, but yeah, that is a great lie. That's a great cost-saving one. You can do that with anything that you enjoy that you don't want the kids to have, really. Could you do it with chocolate? Could you say that chocolate was for adults only? Surely.
Starting point is 00:19:41 Yeah, chocolate, it makes you sick before the age of 21. It makes you short. Yeah. Chocolate stunts your Surely. Yeah, chocolate, it makes you sick before the age of 21. It makes you short. Yeah. Chocolate stunts your growth. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, you've got to wait until you're fully grown. That isn't a lie. It's true.
Starting point is 00:19:51 Bree and Clint. Time for the latest. From iHeartRadio, this is The Latest. I mean, this show is just continuing to slay it on Netflix, selling Sunset. It's in the top number one position on New Zealand Netflix again, Clint. I found out that the, like, because the show's so good. It's effectively a real estate show, but it's all about the drama, right?
Starting point is 00:20:14 It's by the same people that did, is it The Hills? The Hills? Yeah. It's made by the creators of The Hills. When I watch it, I'm like, this can't be real. And I'm pretty sure it's the same as The Hills. I don't know how much to believe and I don't know how much is real, but it's a bit of both, I think.
Starting point is 00:20:31 I believe that the drama is real. I just think that it's orchestrated. They're like, okay, you're going to do this because it's going to piss this person off. I think they organise like that. But whatever it is, it's beautiful houses. It's set on the Sunset Strip in LA and it's a good trashy watch. Right, Brie? Yeah, exactly right. And one of the biggest houses that sit on the Sunset Strip in LA and it's a good trashy watch, right Brie?
Starting point is 00:20:48 Yeah, exactly right and one of the biggest things that happens on this season and if you don't want to know anything, I'll give you three seconds to turn off now because this is a bit of a spoiler but I mean if you love the show, you would have read all the articles about Chris Shell who's one of the agents that works at the Oppenheimer Group.
Starting point is 00:21:04 She starts dating the owner, Jason, right? And they have this relationship. It goes on for about five months, and it came out at the end of last year that they broke up, which you see on this later season. Anyway, I saw this article, Clint, and I was gobsmacked because it was talking about who Chris Schell is now rumoured to be dating. Okay.
Starting point is 00:21:27 And you don't know who this is? No, I don't know. No, I've been waiting with bated breath to find this out. I want to give you one guess as to who she might be dating now. She lives in LA. She's very good looking. I'm going to say Calvin Harris. I mean, it's a great guess, but
Starting point is 00:21:45 it would be wrong. What if I told you she was dating an Australian? Is she dating? Oh no, Chris Hemsworth's married. Are there any other Hemsworths? Liam Hemsworth. No? I mean, it could have been Liam. No? Okay, who is it? Crocodile Dundee? Who is it? She is dating
Starting point is 00:22:02 the Australian musician by the name of G Flip. Oh, G. Oh, okay. We've got a piece of her music right here. Is G Flip a chick? Sorry, my apologies. Their music.
Starting point is 00:22:20 They are non-binary. They came out like last year, I think. Anyway, rumours are there's pictures of Chrishell and them all over Hollywood holding hands, snuggling up. Chrishell's posting photos of them on her Instagram. They're saying it's the real deal. Oh, there you go. G Flip might be on the next season of Selling Sunset. That's what they're saying.
Starting point is 00:22:42 It's a good promotion, eh? It'll be good for a Spotify place, and I'm sure they're in love as well. Yeah, yeah. Bit of both. There you go. That is the latest on Selling Sunset with our Hollywood correspondent, Brie Thomasel, coming to you from central Auckland at her house where she's isolating. Brie and Clint.
Starting point is 00:23:01 Brie, I've got, I forgot to, goddammit, I've got breaking news and I forgot to tell you. What was it? There's a new Lady Gaga song and we're going to play it in the next 15 minutes. How have you not told me that? I know, it was my special job to tell you and we keep getting caught up with other things. I'll just check in with producer Anastasia. Producer Anastasia, do we have an ETA on the new Lady Gaga song? Yeah, give us about 10 minutes.
Starting point is 00:23:24 10 minutes and we'll play new Lady Gaga? Yeah, the music girl, Bryony, she ran in with some exciting news. That came out of nowhere. I know. That's what Gaga's doing. Is she at the Met Gala? Did we see Gaga at the Met Gala?
Starting point is 00:23:36 She's not, no, but she's probably busy releasing a song. She's probably actually sending the email to Bryony right now. Yeah, yeah, yeah. She's too busy packaging up the CDs. Right, so we'll get new Lady Gaga in the next 10 minutes. Before then, though, some shocking stats about single men's beds, which, to be fair, I don't think you expected good news
Starting point is 00:23:55 out of a single dude's bed, eh? Like it's not known as like a hygienic, harmonious place. And I say that as a former single man. You know what? I think for a single guy's bed, like when I was in my early 20s, if you would go over to their house, if they had two pillows, a bottom sheet and a doona, they were winning. You're like, oh, boyfriend material.
Starting point is 00:24:23 You'd like marry me right now. Bed base? You didn't need them to have a bed base? Oh, the bed base. You've like, oh, boyfriend material. You'd like, marry me right now. Bed base? You didn't need them to have a bed base? Oh, the bed base. You've got to have a bed base. Because a lot of single dudes don't. There's a mattress on the floor with a sleeping bag. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:35 Cost cutting. Anyway, I'm talking specifically about sheets here. 2,250 adults have been surveyed. And according to this information here, almost half of single men said they don't wash their sheets for up to four months
Starting point is 00:24:54 at a time. Yeah but see that's why they're single. Four months Brie. Four months on the same sheets. Four months. Four months is horrendous. The bacteria and sweat and blood and other stuff that would be in that bed,
Starting point is 00:25:13 I can't even imagine. Skin, fingernails, hair, everything that your body excretes while you're sleeping. 12% of the guys surveyed admitted that they only wash their sheets when they remember to wash them, which could be even longer than four months at a time. But let's just say it is four months.
Starting point is 00:25:29 That means you wash your sheets three times a year. Christmas. I mean, saves time. Easter and your birthday. That's it. Those are the only times your sheets are getting a wash, if you're lucky. Special occasions. Single women, do you reckon they're much better than the boys? Yeah, I think they will be. I don't think heaps better, but definitely better than that. Definitely heaps better. So
Starting point is 00:25:51 half of men only wash their sheets once every four months. Single women, 62% of them said they change their sheets every two weeks. Yeah, that's not bad. That's fine. That's good. Better than four months. That's hygienic enough. Couples in the survey said that they do their sheets on average every three weeks. Really? That's interesting. Well, because we all know once you're in a couple, the sheets are getting less action, you know? Yeah, well, they stay cleaner for longer. So how often should you actually change your sheets? Do you want to give it a guess, Brie? Look, it's going to be once a week, and I don't want to hear about it.
Starting point is 00:26:29 It's too much work. It's once a fortnight. Lock it in. You before were floating seasonal differences and saying in winter you can do it less. That's not what the research says. Oh, what a load of BS. It says the same amount of skin is coming off your body at nighttime
Starting point is 00:26:43 in summer as it is in winter. So your sheets don't care what season it is. And the official information on how often you should change your sheets, it's once a week. Once a week. Oh, God. Two weeks at the very most. I've just come up with a brilliant idea.
Starting point is 00:27:01 Yeah. Just here as we were talking, I just came up with a great idea and it might mean you need to change your sheets more often than a idea. Yeah. Just here as we were talking, I just came up with a great idea and it might mean you need to change your sheets more often than a week. Yeah. But what do you think of exfoliating sheets? I actually think that might be a Shark Tank genius idea. The issue is those sheets are going to need changing daily.
Starting point is 00:27:24 Yeah, it'll be a daily thing and then I mean, no one wants to do that. So the idea is out the window. But exfoliating sheets that you just put on the bed the night before you do a fake tan. Great. You sleep in the exfoliating sheets before you go in
Starting point is 00:27:39 for a spray tan or something like that. And then you whip them off the bed and you put them in the wash and then you put them back in the wardrobe. It's disgusting but it's kind of a great idea, right? Can you imagine if someone comes over and they're like, what's that? You're like, oh, that's my skin scraping sheets. What's that giant piece of sandpaper hanging on your clothesline? Oh, that, that's my exfoliating sheets.
Starting point is 00:28:00 That's my under sheet, my under exfoliating sheet. Why do you look red raw? Slept in my exfoliating sheets last night. Look, look, look, this might be a big ask, what we're about to do here, but I'm wondering if there are any single men listening to the show who are willing to call us and tell us honestly when they think the last time they changed their sheets was.
Starting point is 00:28:20 Clint, I feel like you're underestimating our single men audience. I don't think they'll be shy with coming forward with this information. I think they'll be calling. They'll be proud of it. How long have you not changed your sheets for? Where are the boys at? We can keep you anonymous if you're scared that your mum is listening and she
Starting point is 00:28:39 taught you better than that. But can you admit to us, as a man, when was the last time you changed your sheets? Has it been a while? There's a study that's been done overseas, to be fair. It's of UK men. And it says single men only change their sheets once every four months. Clint, you said that people could call up anonymously, that the men wouldn't call. And I said, mate, they will call. And, oh, my God, the texts on the text machine make me feel ill. You're right, and they are quite hard to read.
Starting point is 00:29:15 I do have to give a special shout-out to the person who asked us to clarify. They said straight single men only change their sheets once every four months. So I would like to apologise to the gay community who are wonderfully hygienic and massive sheet cleaners. Probably the most hygienic out of anyone, can I say. We have some people here on the phone. Jo's called up. G'day, Jo.
Starting point is 00:29:40 Hi, Jo. Your partner was notorious for not changing their sheets. Tell us about this. Oh goodness honestly so without going into details I've just broken up with an ex-partner and he let his dog sleep in and on his bed
Starting point is 00:29:58 and literally he had like a flat sheet. He didn't even have a fitted sheet on his bed. Like only one. No top sheet only a flat sheet. He didn't even have a fitted sheet on his bed. Yeah. Like only one. No top sheet, only a flat sheet as the bottom sheet. Yes. I am one of those people too, Jo. No.
Starting point is 00:30:12 No top sheet. Don't be like that. Well, at least he had a sheet on there. How often do you think that sheet with the dog on it and the man was going through the washing machine? Honestly, literally once a year because he has one sheet. Oh. He's got one sheet, Jo.
Starting point is 00:30:27 Oh. A flat sheet. It's not even a fitted sheet for the bed. But we only run one set of sheets in our house. You just wash and dry them in the same day. Wait, wait. Like whack them in the dryer. Wait, Clint.
Starting point is 00:30:38 Yeah, Matt, that's what he does. But yeah, once a year. I mean, hey, I can't control it. Wait, wait, Jo, did you just miss that? Clint just said he only owns one sheet. No, no, no, no, no, once a year. I mean, hey, I can't control it. Wait, Jo, did you just miss that? Clint just said he only owns one sheet. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. I said we only run one set of sheets. We have preferred sheets.
Starting point is 00:30:52 I think you're lying. No, they're in my... You've only got one sheet. No, we just... Give it to him, Jo. I have sheets that... Don't lie to me, Clint. Don't lie.
Starting point is 00:31:01 All right, okay. No, look. I will... My wife is going to kill me. My wife is going to kill me. Ryan's here. G'day, Ryan. Hello, Ryan. Are you a single Kiwi man?
Starting point is 00:31:14 What was that? Sorry, mate. Are you a single Kiwi man? Oh, taken now, but back in the day when I wasn't, we were a bit bad with the sheets, eh? Give us the truth. How often were you changing rooms? How bad is it, Ryan?
Starting point is 00:31:25 Oh, twice a year on a good year, probably. Ryan! Once every six months? Pretty much, yeah. When I could be bothered. Ryan, what if you had a friend come over for a sleepover? You know, the special sleepover. You wouldn't think to change your sheets?
Starting point is 00:31:42 Oh, I've got a couch. Ryan! Well, how are you taken? That is quite incredible. Let's just, I've got a couch. Oh, Brian. Wow, how are you taken? That is quite incredible. Let's just drill into this for a second. What do you do for a job, Brian? Truck driver. Truck driver, okay.
Starting point is 00:31:56 And do you have a shower before you go to bed? Oh, if I can find one on the road, otherwise at home if I'm not too on the beers. Right, okay. So he does. So he does. He does. I take that as he does. It makes it better if you shower before bed,
Starting point is 00:32:08 but still nothing can make washing your sheets twice a year better, Ryan. That's shocking. Let's go to our last caller. He wants to remain anonymous. Hello, anonymous. Hello. It says here that you didn't even own sheets before you met your partner. Is that true? Yeah, I didn't even own sheets before you met your partner.
Starting point is 00:32:25 Is that true? Yeah, I didn't. Anonymous? You know when you set up your bed and, like, you never even thought, oh, I might have to put a sheet on this? Because you can't really wash your mattress unless you get someone professionally to do it. Like, how dirty was your mattress? Well, I'd imagine it would have been pretty dirty,
Starting point is 00:32:48 but the idea was if I put sheets on, I'd have to take them off and wash them eventually. Yeah, that's generally how it works. So how did you... I was very young. Yeah. How did your now partner react when they first saw your sheetless bed? Well, I bought sheets before she came
Starting point is 00:33:06 and stayed the night for the first time. Oh, see, that's cute, Anonymous. At least you went to some effort. And tell me, Anonymous, how many pillows did you have on your bed? Oh, a couple. More than one. Right, okay. Well, you've seen the light now.
Starting point is 00:33:23 How often do you reckon you change the sheets these days, Anonymous? Well, I just leave my partner to do it now. Oh, jeez. Buying sheets works. You were doing so well. Anonymous is like, I just go out and buy new ones every time I need to change them. Well, look, Anonymous, it could be worse. You didn't have sheets, but Clint back in the day bought a satin sheet,
Starting point is 00:33:44 so you could have been in that boat. It wasn't satin, excuse me, it was black polyester, I'll have you know. It was very romantic. Bree and Clint. And Clint, that's Lude and Colin Hay, Down Under. Speaking of Down Under, please welcome to the show, all the way from Down Under, it's Bree's mum, Mama Di. Hi, Mama Di.
Starting point is 00:34:04 Don't talk about my mother like that. Hi, guys. How's your Down Under? Hey, Charlie. Oh, excuse you. I'm always good Down Under. You're always good Down Under, yeah. Oh, Mum.
Starting point is 00:34:14 How about a Vegemite sandwich? Hey, is it Mother's Day in Australia this weekend as well? It's Mother's Day here. Do we have the same Mother's Day? Absolutely. Yes, it is. And have you made it clear to your daughter, Brianna, exactly what you the same Mother's Day? Absolutely. Yes, it is. And have you made it clear to your daughter, Brianna, exactly what you want for Mother's Day? Well, I well and truly got my Mother's Day present early, but Brianna's very, very good like that. She's very thoughtful and
Starting point is 00:34:40 she's always thinking of what she might send to me or whatever. But when she came over, she gave me this most wonderful coffee-making machine that I don't think I'll ever have to go out to another place to get coffee again. Wait, I thought she got you a coffee-making machine two years ago. Is she giving you the same gift? I got her a better one. Oh, this is just an absolute step up. It's the Ferrari of coffee machines.
Starting point is 00:35:10 Oh, la, la. That is not a bad option at all. Mum's obsessed with it. That feels like it's at the upper end of the gifting spectrum. I wanted to get you on here this afternoon because personally I have to buy two Mother's Day presents this week and I've got to buy one for my mother and one for the mother of my children.
Starting point is 00:35:27 So could you give us some hot tips on what mums want for Mother's Day this weekend, Mama Di? And, Mum, just keep in mind, Clint is quite stingy when it comes to gifts. So just lower price range, all right, Mum? Okay. We can do a range. Simplicity. Simplicity. Simplicity to the max. And absolutely, I think, thoughtful gifts and time gifts. So in saying that, I think the thoughtful gifts, for me anyway,
Starting point is 00:36:00 is something like something that your beautiful wife Lucy would love, like does she love going to the movies or is there a favourite coffee shop that she loves to have a favourite croissant for? A Satisfyer Pro maybe. Hey, hey, hey, careful. Hey, that is a great gift. That is not even a joke. That is a fantastic gift.
Starting point is 00:36:23 Get one for your mother. Exactly. Exactly. Okay. Yeah, and the best one, Clint, in my opinion, especially when the kids are the age your children are, is the most wonderful breakfast in bed with sitting there with a book or whatever you want and, yeah, I think it's fantastic. I think for your mum, the best gift you can give her is, if you can, have lunch somewhere with all, with Lucy and the girls.
Starting point is 00:36:56 Yeah. And you run around after the girls and do absolutely everything for the whole day. Yeah. Including her not doing any toilet stops or nappy changing or anything like that whatsoever. That's my thing. Mum, it sounds like this is what you want. Absolutely, Brianna. Absolutely. You always have.
Starting point is 00:37:20 I hear you. Okay. And the other thing. Yeah. One thing is beautiful pyjamas. You know what? one thing, is beautiful pyjamas. You know what? A pair of really nice pyjamas. You know what?
Starting point is 00:37:29 I'm hearing that pyjamas are the go-to gift this year for Mother's Day. I've heard that from more than one source at the moment. So you'd be happy if you got a pair of PJs for Mother's Day. Would you, Mama Di? Absolutely, because I think we're always a bit stingy on those kind of things. But Clint, take my word for it. Don't get her a mummy pair, though. Get her something that's a little bit nice, if you know what I mean.
Starting point is 00:37:55 Oh, Mum, stop telling Clint to buy his wife lingerie. It's a kid's show. Also, you've got to be very clear, because I'm asking for my mum and my wife here. Who gets which pyjamas in this situation? I think we understand. I think we get it. You're saying something nice and indulgent and maybe some time, maybe some kind of experience type thing for Mother's Day.
Starting point is 00:38:14 Mum, you could have told me this before I bought you the coffee machine because now I've spent all this money. I could have just bought you a pair of pyjamas. Look, Brianna, I absolutely loved it and you thought about it and that's where it all comes from is recognising what that person likes and loves to do. So that's where it all comes from. Well, there you go.
Starting point is 00:38:37 I hear you. Time away from the kids, Clint, is what you get both the women in your life. Time away from the kids. And the nicest pair of pyjamas came out stocks. I understand. Brian Clint, back in a second. Just one second of Harry Styles. And you could win a night with him.
Starting point is 00:38:56 Brian Clint. Clint, some devastating news. I mean, over the last couple of days, people are in tears. People are very upset. And I was exactly the same when I read about this. And I'm being full serious. I'm actually really upset by this news. And if you haven't seen it, the house, the famous house from Kath and Kim,
Starting point is 00:39:20 the famous TV show, is being demolished. There's always a joker in the... I knew someone had bought it. Remember we tried to go over and broadcast from it when it got sold or when it was up for sale. And then I think COVID got in the way. They've demolished it. Yeah, so apparently it got sold a fair few years ago now
Starting point is 00:39:41 for $1.48 million. Whoa, yeah.1.48 million. Whoa, yeah. I know, expensive. And I think they, and we talked about this on the show, remember, I reckon they were paying a higher price because it was a famous, it's an icon. Yeah, yeah, you can do that.
Starting point is 00:39:58 Yeah, because someone could turn it into a tourist attraction or a business. It has that appeal about it, right? Absolutely it does. And apparently after however many years of owning the house, they did say they were going to renovate the home when they bought it. Which again, nobody wants. They want an original. Which no one wants.
Starting point is 00:40:14 You want to keep it the same. And they've went totally against their word and they are now demolishing it. It's already begun. They're already pulling it down. Yeah, that's sad. I remember having the exact same feeling when they demolished the outrageous Fortune House in West Auckland. Same thing. I was like, you can't do that.
Starting point is 00:40:29 That is the, that's the, that's effectively our version of the White House, the outrageous Fortune House. The thing that I had going against it is the interior was not the same as what was on TV. It was just inside was a set, but outside the exterior shots were what you saw. But the Kath and Kim house, they actually shot the show inside that house, didn't they?
Starting point is 00:40:47 That's right. Yeah, which is quite unusual for a sitcom. They actually shot, yeah, the show in the actual house. And to make it even more weird, this week there's also been rumours swirling that a reboot of the show is coming back. Get off the grass. No way, Josie. Look at me, please. Look at me.
Starting point is 00:41:09 That's such great news. The world is ready. How buzzy. The world is so ready for a Kath and Kim reboot. You know? We've been ready for a long time, I think, and you made a great point. Off air, you said, well, now that the house is being demolished,
Starting point is 00:41:22 maybe they'll have to take the show and film it in Noosa. Yeah, I reckon she's retired and they've headed to Noosa, like all boomers do in Australia. You know what's so funny? Yeah. My auntie Julie, who reminds me so much of Cath Day Night, moved to Noosa. Of course she did.
Starting point is 00:41:40 Of course she did. She's just retired. She's got some dolphin snow globes. She's living the boomer dream. Hopefully that happens. That one dropped from Sam Smith on Friday. It's called Love Me More. I like it.
Starting point is 00:41:57 Took me a couple of listens to get into it because it's a slower vibe, but I quite like that. Are you into it, Brie? Yeah, I'm into it. I'm glad they're back. You're very talented. We need it. We need that new music. into it, Brie? Yeah, I'm into it. I'm glad they're back. We need it. We need that new music. Lizzo, Lady Gaga, I mean, bring it on.
Starting point is 00:42:12 We'll play that new Lady Gaga song again before 5.30 this afternoon. If you've missed it, it's from the Top Gun soundtrack. We'll play that soon. But first, a woman has taken to the internet to ask if she's a bad person for not wanting to be a bridesmaid at her own sister's wedding. She wrote, look, I've got a sister named Lexi.
Starting point is 00:42:29 Me and Lexi used to be really close. She was basically my best friend. However, around seven or eight months ago, I found out my boyfriend Jonah was cheating on me with my sister. And now they're getting married in August. Can you believe that? No, that is nearly unbelievable that your own sister would betray you like that. I know it's happened because we've talked to people that it has happened to before.
Starting point is 00:42:56 But surely in that situation, you run off with the partner and you sort of, you're the family outliers. You go, I'm stealing my sister's boyfriend. I know I'm doing the wrong thing, but I'm doing it for love. I have to do it. I'll say goodbye now and I'll leave. No, she's getting married and she's asked her sister to be a bridesmaid at the wedding. How's the audacity of the sister to be like, yep, I was cheating on, well, I was cheating with your boyfriend and now I want you to be the bridesmaid and I think you're a bad person because you don't want to do it.
Starting point is 00:43:27 I want you to stand there and look me in the eye while I do this in front of you and I want you to be happy for me. I want you to stand there and smile and I want you to pose for photos and I want you to organise my hens do while I marry your ex-boyfriend that cheated on you with me.
Starting point is 00:43:44 It's the actual ultimate betrayal from a sibling. Right? Like the ultimate betrayal. I always worried about that with my brother because he is a good looking unit. Yeah. That he would steal one of my partners from me. I never used to
Starting point is 00:43:59 introduce them to him for a long time just in case. Is that why you moved countries? Yeah, exactly. Just to get away from him. That's why you found a kiwi bird to shack up with. And then the borders closed and you're like, finally, I can keep my brother out of this situation. There's my chance. The last piece of this messed up puzzle is she said no,
Starting point is 00:44:19 the sister's pissed off. Her parents are now angry at her for refusing to be a bridesmaid in the sister's wedding. Her dad has accused her of being selfish, and she said by refusing to be a bridesmaid, you're causing a rift in this family, and we won't stand for it. How about the sister causing the rift before anyone else was causing a rift? They said your sister deserves to be happy.
Starting point is 00:44:48 You'd just be sitting there like, hello, what do I deserve? A bowl full of dog shit? Come on. Yeah, well, obviously we know who the favourite child is in that family. I reckon. And maybe that's why she did it. Maybe she's always got what she wanted in life. Maybe the parents have always given her whatever she wanted.
Starting point is 00:45:03 So she was like, oh, your boyfriend. I love that. I like the look of that. I love that. I love that. Your bike? Your new bike you got for Christmas? I love that. She can't endorse this relationship and nor should she. So I want to know
Starting point is 00:45:15 this afternoon on 0800 dials at M, what's the relationship that you just couldn't get behind? They told you about it and you said, sorry, I can't support this relationship. I can't back this. I won't.
Starting point is 00:45:29 I can't. Maybe you even refused to go to the wedding. Yes. Because you couldn't endorse it. Maybe you've lost friends over it. It might be a family member who is dating someone they shouldn't. It might be a friend who's really testing the limits of your friendship. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:45:47 Who is it and why is the relationship just a bit effed up? And you just can't. You won't. I'm sorry, this relationship's not for me. No, thank you. You go off, be happy. Someone texts through and they said, I'd be the bridesmaid and I'd destroy that wedding.
Starting point is 00:45:59 From the inside. I like that. Brianne Clint, give us a call. Brianne Clint. We were talking before about a lady who's gone on the internet to ask, From the inside. I like that. Bree and Clint, give us a... Bree and Clint. We were talking before about a lady who's gone on the internet to ask, am I a bad person because I don't want to be my sister's bridesmaid at the wedding of her and my ex-boyfriend who cheated on me with my sister? I think the answer to that one is no, you're not a bad person
Starting point is 00:46:20 for not wanting to be a bridesmaid. And I don't think you should even attend that wedding, right, Bree? Yeah, I think the bad person here is the sister and the boyfriend. They're the bad people, not you. And by attending the wedding, you're effectively giving it your blessing, right? So all you can do is not attend. I've just thought about she should attend
Starting point is 00:46:40 and then you know that moment where the celebrant says, if anyone doesn't want this marriage to go ahead, speak now. Oh, my God, she could be that person and make a big scene. Yeah, but she doesn't have like a, all she can stand up and say is, that used to be my boyfriend. And the priest goes, yeah, that's fine, but that's not really a good reason. Like it's not.
Starting point is 00:47:03 Yeah, and they cheated. They cheated, both of them. He'll go, well, look, I'm really sorry for you, but I can't stop the wedding for that. She could lie. And he hasn't done his taxes in five years. He's an illegal alien. He needs to leave the country.
Starting point is 00:47:15 We asked you, and you can still call through with this, by the way, what's the relationship that you just couldn't endorse? She refuses to endorse her sister's relationship. What's the one for you where you were like, look, do what you want to do, but I'm not going to support this relationship. I don't know if this text is quite the vibe that we were looking for, but someone's texted and said,
Starting point is 00:47:33 I was dating a girl until I introduced her to my family, and her family do. Turns out she was my cousin. Ooh, alrighty. Hashtag WTF. Yeah, but look, I mean, was she the first cousin? Was she a second? Like what number cousin are we talking about?
Starting point is 00:47:51 You know, whenever we talk about dating cousins, you always ask that question. And to me, I want to know what degree of cousining is acceptable for you. I think it's just ingrained in my brain because that's how we did it in my family. Like third cousins were fine. No, I'm just kidding. It's from the movie Mean Girls. That's the problem with having hot cousins, eh? Yeah, I know.
Starting point is 00:48:14 It's just so difficult when they're all so hot. A couple of texts from people and it's a similar, it's an interesting trend I guess. People who said they couldn't get on board with their dad's new partner because she was the same age or similar age to them. That's a weird phenomenon, eh? When dad moves on to the new person.
Starting point is 00:48:32 It makes it so hard. And I think especially if, you know, those new relationships with, you know, your – what are they called? Step mum? Your mum and dad. Your mum and dad. When they move on with someone else, it's so difficult because you know, if they don't make an effort with
Starting point is 00:48:50 you, they're meant to be kind of like, you know, this figure that's in limbo where they're not your parent, but they kind of are because they're your step parents. So it's like a really hard relationship. I think so long as they don't try and parent you, it could be quite good because you could have a best friend. Like you could go, oh my god, we should go out. You could go, oh, my God, we should go out.
Starting point is 00:49:07 We should go clubbing. Screw dad. Let's go out. Even better if it's one of your friends that your dad ends up dating. You already have a friend. Yeah, exactly. Oh, yeah, but still. Then dad's in the, yeah, right, and then anyway. Bree and Clint.
Starting point is 00:49:23 Hey. It's my birthday. It's my birthday. Bree and Clint's birthday. It's my birthday. It's my birthday. Bree and Clint's Birthday Banger. All right, here we go, Birthday Banger. Three people. What was the song that was number one on their 16th birthdays? Well, we'll find out and then we'll play our favourite one.
Starting point is 00:49:37 Hi, Lisa. Hi. How are you going? I'm good. How are you? We're good. Yeah, look, Lisa, I've been better. I've been better, if I'm honest. Brie's at home with the spicy cough. I've got the spicy cough,
Starting point is 00:49:52 Lisa. It finally got her. Oh, it hasn't got me yet. No, me neither. Oh, you're a bloody platinum person then. You're safe from the bit of it. We're all high and mighty over here. Lisa, give us your birthday and we'll figure out your birthday banger. 9th of April, 1989. Wow. All right, Lisa, you were 16 in 2005. And on the 9th of April in 2005, this reached number one. Ha-ha.

John Crocodile Rock. Yeah, that's a good one. I'm not voting for it, though. I'm voting for 50 Cent Candy Shop.

You love that shop? I love that shop too. I mean, I want to go to the candy shop. You know what I'm saying? Lisa, take her to the candy shop, mate. You've just won birthday banger.
Starting point is 00:52:31 Congratulations. No worries. Let's go. Fitty. Fitty cent. Any younger people listening, he's definitely talking about a real candy shop here. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:43 Yeah. I've got a big range of candies. Look, Clint, if you thought you've ever had a really bad day, this might make you feel a little bit better about that bad day because an MP
Starting point is 00:52:58 over in the UK has had a real bad day at work. Right, okay. One of the worst you could possibly have. Worse than when Boris Johnson got busted hosting those parties when he put the whole country into lockdown. That was pretty bad. That was bad.
Starting point is 00:53:14 This is way more embarrassing, I'd say. Okay. So this MP by the name of Neil Parrish has been caught in the House of Commons doing something on his phone that he really shouldn't have been. I'll let you decipher what Neil was doing. Here he is apologising for what he was doing in the House of Commons. The situation was that, funnily enough, it was tractors that I was looking at. So I did get into another website that had a sort of very similar name. And I watched it for a bit, which I shouldn't have done.
Starting point is 00:53:51 But my biggest crime is that on another occasion, I went in a second time. And that was deliberately? That was deliberate. And was that in the select committee or in the Commons Chamber? That was sitting, waiting to vote. He was watching pornos in Parliament. Poor old bugger. Oh, wow, I kind of feel sorry for him.
Starting point is 00:54:13 I kind of feel like he's got what he deserves. No, not poor old bugger. Do that on your own time. Do that in the bathroom. Do that anywhere. He was genuinely looking for some tractors. We've all been there, Bree. One minute you're on a tractor site, next thing you're on big,
Starting point is 00:54:27 bustymilks.com. He was looking for a big hoe. That's what he was looking for. It's probably just a typo. It's probably just a typo, you know. I don't know. I don't know. Oh, man, how embarrassing.
Starting point is 00:54:37 Because that's how I always accidentally stumble onto a porn website. He's looking for other items and then it just happens to come up. How did they catch him because i always wonder about this did someone see over his shoulder onto his phone screen and they're like that guy's looking at boobies or was he on the parliament wi-fi and i asked that because can they tell what you're looking at on the work wi-fi like well i mean i'm gonna say yes they can you reckon i think a lot of workplaces track what you're looking at, and that's a shout-out to a lot of businesses.
Starting point is 00:55:10 I know you're watching us. But I think someone saw him doing it, which makes it way worse. Oh, man. Will he recover from that? It's hard to know. He sounds a bit older anyway. He might just go, if that was me, I'd go, all right, time to retire and never be on TV ever again.
Starting point is 00:55:29 Because from now on, he's always going to be track to porn guy. That's it. He's the track to porno guy for the rest of his career. Yeah, look, he said he's, I think he's been suspended for now and he's looking into a career in pornos. So, I mean, you know, when one door shuts, another one opens, Clint, as they say. Something like that. Well, good luck to him.
Starting point is 00:55:51 Can you imagine? There's a UK man who has spent the last six years with a penis hanging off his arm after uh he um got a horrific perineum infection which turned into sepsis and his wanger literally fell off it fell off wait can i just ask a question like if you get an infection yeah and let's that's the gooch we're talking about. The perineum. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. And you let it get so bad that it travels to your penis to the point where it's that bad. Why aren't you going to the hospital earlier? Why? As your argument that if he wasn't taking care of it enough, he didn't deserve a penis.
Starting point is 00:56:40 No, I'm not saying he didn't deserve one, but like you go to the hospital. So the story's wild It falls off He's in a nightclub when it falls off In 2014 He threw it in the bin His donger fell off And he threw it in the bin
Starting point is 00:56:56 He went to a hospital They looked at it They said there's nothing we can do This is his quote They said the best that they could do Was roll up the remaining stump like a little sausage roll. That was heartbreaking.
Starting point is 00:57:09 Wait, wait, wait, wait. Let's backtrack for a second. What I had just said before where it's that bad and you should be going to a hospital. He was out at a nightclub partying, drinking. He thought that was a good time to do that when his dick was falling off. Imagine if he'd gone home with somebody and it had fallen off in their hand. You would never, as the partner, you would never recover from that, would you?
Starting point is 00:57:32 Ever. You would never, psychologically, you'd never be able to touch another one. Anyway, he gets depressed. He's got no donger. He has a really bad time. A doctor comes along and says to him, I can build you a new one of those. And on the taxpayer money in the UK, he ended up getting a $97,000 designer donger made for him,
Starting point is 00:57:55 ready to be stitched back onto his body. I remember talking about this guy, and it's something like they took skin from his forearm, because that's most like the skin that you have on your male appendages. Right, yeah. And then they sewed it together or something. Isn't that what they did? They built it attached to his arm.
Starting point is 00:58:14 So, yes, I think it was a skin graft from some of that under, on your forearm, the underside of it, that nice soft skin, probably not the hairy top side, maybe the bald bottom side. I don't know. He didn't have enough blood and he didn't have enough oxygen in his blood for it to be instantly moved to the new spot downstairs where it's supposed to go. So he grew a 15-centimeter new donger on his arm for six years.
Starting point is 00:58:39 He's been growing this thing on his arm for six years. I mean, how big is it now? Six years? I don't know. It didn't get any bigger. No, six years. I mean, how big is it now? Six years? I don't know. It didn't get any bigger. No, I know. I was making it. In that time, he learned to live with it.
Starting point is 00:58:52 He likes to play darts, and he said he learned how to tuck darts into the gap between the donger and his actual arm. He kept darts in there. He said he had a horrific incident in a supermarket where he reached over somebody to grab something off a shelf and it ended up whacking a lady in the face. No, he didn't. Yes, he did.
Starting point is 00:59:13 He did this. So he had to learn to conceal it and strap it down. But anyway, after six years, he's finally transferred it back to his downstairs area and after a nine-hour operation, he is good to go brand new wanger just straight off the showroom floor no k's on it ready to roll i mean my one question is also did they have to do the same thing with his with his family jewels like was
Starting point is 00:59:40 did they have to be replaced that's a really good good question. It doesn't say. I don't know. It just says that the donger fell off. I think the bees were okay. It was just the pea that needed to be transfused. Oh, well, that's fine then. As long as the bees were still there. Oh, man, it's one thing to have a pea growing on your arm. Imagine if you had dangly bees hanging off your arm as well.
Starting point is 01:00:00 No, thank you. It'd be like those cool things that that have the the um tailgate the tow bar of the car i'd go bees i'd go bees free i reckon i'd just go pee no bees would you would you just go straight free and clint time for the latest from i heart radio this is the latest the met gala went down today and our producer Anastasia has been glued to the updates. So Anastasia, if we didn't watch all of it, what are the highlights from the Met Gala 2022? So something that everyone's obviously been talking about this year has been Kylie Jenner's dress. I know that you guys had a few comments to say about it.
Starting point is 01:00:41 What do you think? She's the one who wore the backwards backwards baseball hat with a wedding dress right so she wore an off-white wedding dress which was obviously virgil abloh who passed away last year very famous designer um she chose to wear a wedding dress which is weird considering she's not married but yes like you said there was a backwards hat a veil a mesh t-shirt a really hideously ruffled skirt i don't really know what she was going for. Have you had to sum the look up in one word, Brie? How would you describe Kylie Jenner's baseball cap wedding dress?
Starting point is 01:01:13 Can I have more than one word? Yeah, you can have three words. Okay, wedding cake topper. Yep, that's accurate. And also a lot of people are saying that the theme this year was gilded glamour, which is like a 90s, is like a 1920s type theme. Yeah. Just didn't really work.
Starting point is 01:01:29 But someone who did kill it was her sister Kim Kardashian, who wore a $5 million ex-Marilyn Monroe dress that was arguably one of her most famous dresses, covered in 12,000 crystals. Well, let's hope she killed it because it was $5 million. Yeah, it's actually the most expensive dress to ever be sold. So this is the dress, and correct me if I'm wrong, that Marilyn wore to sing Happy Birthday to JFK, right?
Starting point is 01:01:55 Yep, yep. It's a very sultry outfit. Yeah, yeah. And interestingly enough, something that I found out just recently was that she actually had a replica made too. So she, because they store it, they don't actually keep the real one on display. She took it from a Believe It or Not museum. She actually wore the actual dress for only three minutes on that red carpet walk and then changed into...
Starting point is 01:02:19 Wait, she took the one from Ripley's Believe It or Not? Yeah, they flew it on a private plane to go see her. Wow. That's how expensive it is. Well, you wouldn't want to be a drunk Pete Davidson and spill your red wine on the $5 million dress, would you? No, no. I'd much rather she was wearing a replica than the real thing.
Starting point is 01:02:35 Yeah, but the main one, so that's the Kardashians covered. Actually, for the first time, they were all there, which has never happened. But obviously, the main one that everyone's been talking about was Blake Lively showing up in custom versace which was the beautiful dress if you you should look it up online the photos are amazing but don't do it justice she rocked up in this kind of rose gold type colored dress and then it dropped as she reached the top of the stairs and changed and she changed her gloves and it was like a blue color. It was so cool.
Starting point is 01:03:05 Yeah, it was like that paint you used to put on your Nissan Skyline Brie. And when it's one color, and then when it drives past you, it turns into a different color. Harlequin, I think they called that. Yeah, Harlequin. That sounds dope, Baz. I wonder if she had subwoofers in the back or the front. Yeah, she did.
Starting point is 01:03:20 Blake Lively wore a Need for Speed dress. Are you guys literally taking the piss out of the best dressed person at the Met this year? A little bit. That is unfair. A little bit. Oh, Anastasia, I love it. The details on the most unrelatable event of the year. All the pics, if you want to scope them out, are up on the ZM Instagram account at the moment.
Starting point is 01:03:40 My favourite thing that's up on there is in the story you can slide to rate the outfits and see if everybody agrees with you. If you hated something, in the story you can slide to rate the outfits and see if everybody agrees with you. If you hated something, if you loved something, why don't you go and see if people found out.
