How are we going?
Do you guys know each other?
Ashley, meet Steve.
Steve, meet Ashley.
Hi, Steve.
No.
Hi, how are you?
Both from the Hawke's Bay.
Maybe your neighbours.
Well, you're about to get a whole lot better acquainted with this game.
Here's the rules.
I will say the questions.
If you think you know the answer, buzz in with Tradie Steve or Ashley, obviously, Lady.
If you get it right, I'll give you a point.
First to three takes home the win and the 50 bucks cash.
Are we ready to play?
Yes.
All right, here we go, guys. Question number one.
A full-term human pregnancy is usually how many weeks?
Yes, Steve.
Oh, God.
You said weeks.
No, it's 42.
42.
Lady, I'm going to have to buzz you out.
Ashley.
40 weeks.
40 weeks is on the money.
You were dancing around it, Steve.
It was right there in the middle.
40 weeks, one to the ladies.
Question number two.
What year did Facebook first launch?
Was it 2000?
Yes, Ash?
I'm going to say 2007.
I mean, it's a great guess.
I will finish the multiple choice and then, Steve, you get a shot. I'm going to say 2007. That means a great yes.
I will finish the multiple choice and then, Steve, you get a shot.
Is it the year 2000, 2004 or 2006?
I'm going to have to say 2004.
You'd be correct.
That is on the money, 2004.
One to the ladies, one to the tradies. Question number three.
Buzz in when you can tell me who sings this.
What do you mean?
Ready?
Ashley, straight in.
Justin Bieber.
It is, of course, Justin Bieber.
Two to the ladies.
They take the lead.
You need this one, Steve, to stay in it.
Question number four.
Which actress originally played Lara Croft in the
Tomb Raider movies?
Angelina Jolie.
I was going to say
Ashley just got in
and it is Angelina Jolie and
that is the win for the ladies.
I'll tell you what,
it could barely spread you guys
today, but Ashley, you could barely spread you guys today,
but Ashley, you've come out on top, $50.
I just had a spread your legs moment.
Shout out Chris Hipkins.
Hey, we'll get that 50 bucks out to you
and thanks for listening to ZM, mate.
Thank you.
It's that time of year,
the time of year when we're all about to watch Love Actually, the movie, the Christmas movie.
I mean, there's a lot of great Christmas movies,
but Love Actually is one I think that people roll out all the time.
Every year.
Every year.
Absolutely.
And no matter how many times I watch it, producers,
no matter how many times, I still want to kill the character that Alan Rickman plays.
Harry.
I hate that guy.
It's blood boiling.
I can't think of anyone else that makes me so mad.
Just every year I watch it and every year I just want to get that character
and just shake him.
And weirdly every year I'm like nah
hopefully it's different. He won't hurt
her again. Maybe he's
changed his mind. Maybe.
Imagine if the
director went back and
filmed some other scenes. I know Alan Rickman
has sadly passed away. R.I.P.
But imagine if they somehow
could maybe AI
CGI it where he doesn't make that decision.
She opens her present and it's a necklace. And it's the necklace.
Oh, that would be so amazing. It got me thinking about other characters
that I've hated in TV shows or
movies. Do you ever feel like that? Because obviously
in certain movies or TV shows,
they want characters to be hated. You know, like I remember watching a movie that just infuriates
me every time. Have you guys seen it? It's with Adam Sandler and Jack Nicholson. It's called
Anger Management. Oh, I don't know if I have seen it I actually can't watch
it because it just makes you angry
oh my god Jack Nicholson's
character and that's the whole point
of the film like is to make
you angry but god
it just does something to me where I just
I just can't turn it off and I'm like
I'm infuriated would you recommend
giving it a watch just to find out
what it's about? No.
Or is it not worth the stress?
Don't watch it.
I mean, I know there's all the metaphors and, you know,
lessons to be learned.
It's a beautiful story.
I just hate it so much.
What about you guys?
Who is a character that you just can't stand?
TV show, movie?
I've only seen this movie once for good reason.
And it's not like I don't think you're supposed to be as annoyed as I was.
But Chris Pratt,
Jennifer Lawrence,
passengers.
So they're like on a spaceship.
He wakes up for whatever reason.
I've watched it like a million times.
Oh, it infuriates me
because who do you hate?
All of them.
Both of them.
Everyone.
I was going to say,
there's only two.
Because he wakes her up.
Very selfish move.
Lies to her the whole time.
And then at the end,
spoilers,
no one hasn't seen it she gets angry at him
but then doesn't she stay with him?
Yeah, that's because they're on a ship and she has
no one else. She has the option to
go back to sleep and then she's
just like, actually nah, I'll settle into this.
I'm like, this is, no!
Stand up for yourself. That's right.
Because there's one thing
one of them can go back to sleep and she goes, no, I want to be with you.
I'll stay with you even though you've lied to me the whole time.
You make a great point.
Oh, please.
See, I just bought into the lovey-dovey crap.
So romantic.
I'm like, oh, they're in love.
I'm so pessimistic.
I'm like, nah, you can do better.
There's no one else around and you can do better.
What about you, Ella?
Who is it?
I hate to bring up Love Actually again,
but the best friend who filmed the wedding,
Keira Knightley's wedding.
With the cards.
The guy who ended up playing the main character on The Walking Dead.
Sure.
Oh, this too.
That's him, yeah.
Oh, I've never thought about that.
Yeah.
Anyway, him.
What, you can't stand him?
Who does that?
Who?
I mean, yes, it happens.
Falling in love with your best friend's partner, wife, whatever.
Has it happened to you?
No.
It has not.
But yeah, to tell her with signs on Christmas
and then awkwardly put her in that position.
I would love an update on that, hey.
What did they end up together?
Well, she ran out to like kindly, kindly pick him on the lips,
being like, I'll give you this.
Again, it's weird.
She's in the wrong though, too.
She shouldn't have done that.
It's needy.
The video that he made as well, it was, like, at the wedding.
You'd be like, oh, it's so romantic.
But actually, she doesn't have a wedding video now.
No.
She has one of only her.
Yeah.
It's ruined.
I don't get it.
Imagine showing that to your husband, being like, this is what such and. Yeah. It's ruined. I don't get it. Imagine showing that to your husband being like this is what
such and such film. It's just me
and my bottom.
Like that's all it is.
Okay there's some people that infuriate us.
We want to ask the question this afternoon
in light of it being Christmas
time and love actually and everyone
hates that character that Alan Rickman
played. Everyone hates him.
Who is the character from a TV show or movie that you just can't stand?
Yeah, is it Bart Simpson?
Bart Simpson?
I don't know.
He's a favourite for everyone, but someone might hate him.
He's kind of endearing.
Is he?
He's got endearing qualities.
A little bit annoying.
But, hey, it could be Bart Simpson.
Give us a call now.
Bree and Clint.
We're talking about characters that you hate from movies or TV shows.
And obviously it's in light of it being Christmas.
And we're all about to watch Love Actually and all want to kill Alan Rickman's character.
I will go that far.
Oh, damn.
I will take it that far.
Can I say something controversial?
Yes.
I don't really like that movie.
Oh, that's fine.
Okay.
Brie doesn't look happy.
Yeah, well, it's fair enough.
I hate this new Claudia character.
What's going on over here?
No, I mean, that's fair.
I like it, but I do not want to watch it every single year.
I think I've seen it three times in my life.
What's the movie you watch every single year then?
I don't have a consistent one.
Oh, you need a traditional movie.
You do.
I really do Christmas movies.
The Christmas movie I watch every single year without fail
is Griswold's Family Christmas.
I've never heard of it.
Oh, my God.
You have to watch it.
It's hilarious.
That repeats itself or something else?
No.
This one's with Chevy Chase and he fills his entire house with lights
and then anyway, you've got to watch it.
It's amazing.
I didn't really sell it, but it's great.
I'll trust you.
But right now, we want to know, yeah, the character that you just really just want to
oh, you know.
Yes, you're blood boiling.
Who is it?
Let's talk to Tia first.
G'day, Tia.
Hi.
How are you going?
Good.
How are you?
Good, thanks.
You're about to be a whole lot worse because we're going to talk about the character that just really infuriates you.
Yes.
Who is it?
Owen Hunt from Grey's Anatomy.
Is he the ginger one?
Owen Hunt.
Yes.
Wait, hold on.
Let me...
They have a Google.
You might recognise him.
Owen Hunt.
Let me see.
He's like in the later seasons.
I haven't really seen him.
I've watched Over People's Shoulders.
Yes.
He's like a Scottish actor, right?
Yeah.
What is it about him to you?
He just treats the other characters like not great.
He's just not well written.
Is he universally not liked in Grey's Anatomy?
Yeah.
Yeah, okay.
Yeah.
Yeah, fair enough.
Okay, well, I'll steer clear of Owen Hunt.
Yeah, I won't watch that.
I'm going to think of a name to call him to you.
Have a Merry Christmas, mate.
You too.
Steer clear of Grey's Anatomy.
A few people texting through.
This one is the one that shocked me the most,
and they did start it off with saying unpopular opinion,
but Moira Rose of Schitt's Creek,
I cannot stand her voice.
Moira.
Can they not stand her voice or cannot stand her as a character?
David.
To be fair, her voice is very like specific.
Can you do it?
David, I don't know if that's a lexicon. David.
Oh, yeah.
I can't remember.
I can't do it.
But iconic.
Someone else said the person I can't stand is Tess from Roswell.
Don't know.
Which I don't know that one.
Someone else said Umbridge from Harry Potter.
Very unlikable.
Yeah.
But they're meant to be unlikable, isn't she?
Yeah.
She's a bit of a vibe though.
What?
You've never seen that movie.
I've never seen it.
She's like intentionally unlikable but to the point where just like her character is so
insane that she's like quite fun to watch i like her pink outfit yeah her room is all pink and
frilly and she likes cats yeah she loves cats a lot of big ones coming through someone said walter
white from breaking bad by the end i hated him so much i literally stopped watching this like that
show because he's becoming unlikable and I don't like watching shows with unlikable characters.
You can't just stop watching Breaking Bad.
It's one of the greatest shows ever made.
That's why I didn't watch that show You.
Because that character, again, is supposed to be unlikable
but it was to the point where I couldn't watch it
because I was fuming.
Yeah, he's got endearing qualities when he's not murdering people.
Does he?
Does he?
Someone else said, I cannot stand Captain America
after he tried to kill Iron Man in Civil War.
Team Iron Man forever.
Fair enough.
Let's go to one more.
Stacey.
Hi, Stace.
Hello.
Tell us, mate.
Who's the character that just doesn't do it for you,
just makes you real angry?
Ross from Friends.
Oh. Oh.
Yes.
What is it about Ross?
Well, he fumbles three women, first of all.
Yeah, I mean, you got a point.
Yeah, how do you fumble Rachel?
Yeah.
She's, like, super pretty, nice, funny.
The part, did it make you just as angry as me?
I feel like the most infuriating part was where,
you know how Rachel wrote that really long letter and he read it
and then he didn't read it and he agreed
and then he went back on his decision and I was like,
just go with it, get over it.
Just move on.
So, yeah, the guy did enough before the minute.
Yeah.
Stacey, do you think they were on a break or not?
Yes.
They were?
They were on a break.
They were on a break.
Okay, so you're on Ross' side for that part,
but everything else you're not.
Yeah.
Not fair.
Well, even as he was on a break, it's not fair.
No.
That he did what he did.
Yeah, I mean, you've got a point.
No, as the series has aged, I do get more annoyed with Ross.
Stacey, I feel like you've argued some fantastic points this afternoon,
and we will go away and think about it.
You have a good arvo, Stace.
Thanks, mate.
You too, guys.
So many texts coming through.
Someone said, oh, and I have to agree with this
because we're circling back to Breaking Bad.
They said Skylar from Breaking Bad.
I hate that character.
The why?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I can't stand her.
Why?
What happened?
I don't know.
Like, she's just so suffocating.
Like, just leave him alone.
Let him make myths.
Just let him do what he wants to do.
Now people are texting through with exclamation points.
They were on a break.
They were on a break.
I don't know.
Bree and Clint.
It's time to get the latest.
From iHeartRadio, this is The Latest.
Live from LA with Dean McCarthy.
Dean, the people are boycotting Jojo Siwa.
What's the deal?
Okay, let me set the scene for you.
This is absolutely hilarious.
Brazilian superstar Anitta went on TikTok and she was like,
how funny would it be if we literally just ignored celebrities on social media?
And so that means like not liking their posts, not commenting, not sharing it,
just ignoring them.
Anyway, for some reason of all the celebrities in the world, Jojo Siwa is the first victim.
Now, let me set the scene.
So if you go to Jojo Siwa's TikTok right now, her last video or something had like 35 million views or something.
It only had like 20,000 likes.
Anyway, so people are like, oh, it started, it started. But the funny thing is, because these TikTokers have literally nothing else to do,
they all went and commented, oh, she's getting ignored.
And then other people were like, wait, you're not meant to comment.
We're meant to be ignoring her.
Oh, my God.
You're commenting.
Now we're all commenting.
And then they're liking the comments.
So I don't think this is actually going to take off.
But that game is to ignore celebrities on social media.
I don't think this is going to last very... This is wild.
I feel like people have come up with a way to
globally, as the world, bully someone.
Just be like, everyone ignore this person. Everyone ignore them. And then that person
just be like, why is everyone ignoring me?
But now we're talking about her.
I know.
Now everyone's talking about Jojo.
She was paged.
And I mean, it all fits because she did release that song, Karma.
So it's all come back around, hasn't it?
It does.
Oh, Jojo Siwa.
They're so wild.
It makes me feel like I'm 85 years old, for real.
And you're only 21.
So that's crazy.
I know, it's bizarre.
It is so bizarre.
Thank you, Dean, for the latest.
We appreciate it.
That's Dean McCarthy live from Hollywood with the latest.
Bree and Clint.
I read this interesting story about a guy named Tim O'Sullivan
who started this company with his then girlfriend,
I don't know how many years ago, I think it was back in 2019,
and they got this idea because his girlfriend was from South Korea
and they went on a trip to South Korea
and they found out about pear juice
and how apparently pear juice, like I've never thought to myself...
Like fruit?
Yeah, like pears.
Yeah.
Like I've never thought, oh, I wouldn't mind some pear juice right now.
Like a slightly worse apple juice.
I feel like it'd just be watery.
Yeah.
So apparently in South Korea and other Asian countries,
they drink a lot of pear juice mainly to battle hangovers.
Oh.
Apparently it's got some thought at, I feel like I'm selling it.
I'm not.
I'm not from big pear juice.
I don't have shares in the company.
Anyway, they started this company.
They called it Bay Juice and I think they started it in Australia
because nowhere was selling pear juice.
Anyway, it absolutely blew up.
Oh, wow.
Now it's a multi-million dollar company.
And all these years later and in the midst of, you know,
the company being successful and doing really well,
Tim and his girlfriend broke up.
They now run the company together and are managing
a multi-million dollar company together but they're also exes.
I feel like it would be hard but I think I could get along
with anyone for millions of dollars. I'll make it would be hard, but I think I could get along with anyone for millions of dollars.
I'll make it work.
You reckon you'd be all right.
If you're the bosses, right, I would just like spread out all over Australia.
Someone's in Sydney, someone's in Brizzy.
Never see each other.
Do it that way.
I did read that she now mainly works from South Korea.
There you go.
And they see each other like twice a year.
But they still have to like, you know, communicate and comms and all that.
Yeah.
Oh, how annoying.
But like Claude said, would you do it for multi-million dollars?
It depends how it ended, right?
Like if it was messy and they don't want to see each other ever again,
like that would be really hard. But if it was just like, oh, you know, each other ever again, like that would be really hard.
But if it was just like, oh, you know, it's not working.
We're really busy.
Yeah.
But we're still friends.
Yeah, I feel like you're right.
I feel like you're right.
Hopefully it ended like that.
Yeah.
I thought we could put it out there this afternoon on 0800DIALS at M.
Or you can text us on 9696.
How are you still connected to your ex?
And we're not, kids not included. Yeah, that is kind of a given ex and we're not kids not included yeah because we get
obviously kids as a given and you have to be connected and you reckon dogs no i don't reckon
dogs as a given really i was friends and still am friends with this girl who her and her partner
got a dog together and they made this arrangement which this might have been a red flag from the start,
but when they got the dog, they talked about, you know,
if they did break up, what happens.
And essentially it was if the breakup was one of their faults,
the other person gets the dog.
So if I accidentally cheat.
You get the dog.
Yeah.
No, like if you cheated, then I get the dog.
Right.
Because it was your fault.
That's pretty funny.
Yeah.
Or if one person wanted to break up with the other person,
it's their fault because they wanted to break up
so the other person gets it.
So they broke up.
That's a red flag.
There's some low-key mistrust there, eh?
They did break up.
I think the writing was on the wall.
But we want to hear from you guys.
0800 dials at M or you can text us on 9696.
How are you still connected to your ex?
Maybe you're still working with them.
Maybe you own an aquarium together.
Kelly Talton.
Yeah.
It makes me think of Sabrina Carpenter who's today,
they said that Barry and her are taking a break. Yeah.
She has so many songs about him
and she's on tour. Bam Kim, yes.
And has to perform those songs about him.
Yes, Sabrina Carpenter is allowed
to call in. Yeah, if you want to call. Yeah, that's
$800. She is allowed to call in. But yeah,
text us on 9696 or give us a call
now.
The producers and I just discussing
this story about a guy and his girlfriend who started
a company together. It blew up, multi-million dollar company. They've broken up in the middle
of the company, getting really big and successful. And now they're still together and they run the
company together and it works. But they're exes and we want to know how is your ex
still in your life let's talk to vicky g'day vicky hey how are you good thanks how are you still
connected to your ex um my ex um my she dates my daughter's boyfriend's mother. So, hold on.
Say that one more time.
Your ex dates your daughter's boyfriend's mum.
Yeah, so essentially she's another in-law.
Oh, my God.
What are the odds of that, Vicky?
Are you from, like, a small town or not really?
No.
No, it's Auckland.
But the lesbian community in Auckland is very small.
Vicky, every lesbian community is a small town, isn't it?
It is, absolutely.
And how does that go? When you found out that that was happening
were you okay about it? Like did you guys end alright?
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
Time had passed and it was what it was.
There'd been, I don't know, three or four years between us breaking up and this happening.
But, yeah, I mean, it was weird.
She came over.
Actually, she came to my daughter's 21st and she knew all my family.
You didn't have to introduce it, anyone,
because she'd already been introduced four years ago.
Yeah, exactly, yeah.
But no, it's all amicable.
Oh, well, good.
Good to hear.
Thanks, Vicky.
Thanks for calling through, mate.
Thanks.
Let's talk to Anonymous on 0800-DIALS-AT-M.
Hi, Anonymous.
Hello.
Tell us, mate, how are you connected to your ex still?
So I'm dating my ex's best friend
and my ex is dating someone that I grew up with as a child.
Oh, so you're connected in a few different ways.
Yeah.
And how does that go down?
Like, how did it go down when your ex found out
that you were dating his best mate?
Well, they kind of had their own little conversation and said it was okay.
However, the way it started off with, it kind of wasn't okay.
But now we're all real good mates and hang out whenever we can.
So it's actually fine.
Oh, that's good then.
Yeah.
So it's not too bad.
Yeah.
Bussy as.
And are you from a small place or no?
No.
Big town.
Wow. Okay. Interesting. All right. Thanks. Thanks, Anonymous. And are you from a small place or no? No, big town. Wow.
Okay.
Interesting.
All right.
Thanks.
Thanks, Anonymous.
Appreciate it.
All good.
A lot of texts coming through on this.
Someone said, the way I'm still connected to my ex is we're literally still married 12 years after we split.
We both have new families and everything.
Oh, my gosh.
Maybe it's because i mean getting divorce is
expensive yes or no yes i think yeah because lawyers are let's just say lawyers are expensive
yeah so maybe maybe maybe that's what it is yeah someone else said um still connected to my ex
because he's my brother-in-law so does that mean you've dated two brothers? Or he's married to your sister?
Yeah.
Oh.
That sounds messy.
It's probably fine.
It's probably fine.
Someone else said
we can't sell the house so my
ex and I are still living together
two years later.
That's hard. Two years.
I hope different bedrooms. Wow. That's hard. Two years. I've got different bedrooms.
Wow.
Bunk beds.
Yeah.
Brooke's called through on 0800 dials at M.
G'day, Brooke.
Hiya.
How are you still connected to the ex?
My best friend is his sister.
Your best friend is his, oh, your ex's sister.
Yeah, right.
I get it.
And so, Brooke, I need to know what came first, the best friend or the boyfriend?
Well, the best friend and I were like friends, but we drift because we went to similar schools.
Okay.
But like when we were younger and then I think when we were about 17, like, two years ago,
we got together for a brief period of time,
and then her and I stayed friends, but...
And is it weird, like, when you go over, like...
Do you go over to each other's houses?
Yeah, were they, like, living in the same house,
and you had to, like, go over and hang out with her,
and he'd be there?
Yeah, yeah.
It's still a bit strange, but, like, we hang out now when we're good.
Oh, well, that's good.
Everything worked out in the end, Brooke.
Yeah, it'll work out.
It always does, doesn't it?
Hopefully.
Does it?
Does it?
Thanks for calling through, mate.
One last text on this.
Someone said, my ex's dad is my dad's doctor.
See if you can follow.
Ex's dad?
Is my dad's doctor. Oh, yeah, yeah. Is my dad's doctor. See if you can follow. X's dad. Is my dad's doctor.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Right?
His uncle is my sister's dentist.
I just enrolled my daughter to a new practice and turns out his brother is one of the doctors there.
Wait, is this X?
He's got a doctor dad, a sister dentist and another doctor brother.
Yeah, I wonder what he does.
Nice family.
I wonder what he's bloody doing.
Damn.
Anyway, they said that's classic small town.
We'll see.
There you go.
There you go.
It's hard to avoid the ex in a small town.
I would know.
Have you worked with a previous ex?
Wait, what?
What?
Have you?
Have I worked with one?
Yeah.
No, but I grew up in a small town.
Yeah.
So it's impossible to avoid your ex.
On your apple farm.
Yeah, my ex was my dentist.
Perfect.
Gave me a root canal.
Didn't even need one.
And then he did work on my teeth.
Brianna.
Bri and Clint.
Time to play Google Down.
Do you feel lucky?
Well, do you?
It's time for Bri and Clint's Google Down.
Punk.
Alrighty.
Clint away, but we still hit the producers against each other
in a bid to cause rifts.
I feel a lot of pressure on this one.
Do you?
I don't usually.
Like, yeah, I'm going.
No, I just usually don't get nervous.
But for some reason, maybe because I'm sitting in a different chair or like...
You're outside of your comfort zone.
Okay.
That's good.
Maybe it's my time to creep up on you.
Well, if you have texted through, there's still time.
You can still text Claudia to 9696 if you think she's going to take it out.
Or Ella, if you think she's our winner today.
But here's how it works.
I will be asking you these questions I've put into Google.
I'm looking for the first person who yells out the correct answer,
the most common answer that comes up on Google.
If it's you, I'll give you a point.
First to three points takes home the win.
I'm taking off my glasses.
Don't you need those to see?
Yeah, I can't see you now, Brie, but I can see my phone.
Okay, she can focus.
She can lock in.
Rightio.
I'm ready.
Question number one.
Who invented the game Scrabble?
Oh, my gosh.
Nothing's gone right for me.
What?
Chris.
Alfred Butts.
You said Butts. You said Butts. Alfred Butts. Alfred Mosher Butts. You said Butts.
You said Butts.
Alfred Butts.
Alfred Mosher Butts is correct.
I just got it.
Mr. Butts.
Cute.
Otherwise known as Mr. Butts, you're right.
I will give you the point.
One to Claudia.
Here comes question number two.
What song was number one on March 3rd, 2009?
Right Round by Flo Rida.
Damn it, I just, I was on your heels.
I could feel you right there.
The hardest part is seeing the answer
and then figuring out how to put that out of your mouth.
Yeah.
Because you read it and you're like, yep, got it.
And then you're like, oh no, now I have to read it out loud.
Adrenaline's a funny thing, isn't it?
All right, two to Claude, none to Ella.
I will not.
Here comes question number three.
How old is Bart Simpson?
Ten.
She's done well.
She's done well there.
As Bart would say, eat my shorts. Shake it. Shake it? 10. She's done well. She's done well there.
As Bart would say, eat my shorts.
Shake it.
Shake it.
Two to Claude, one to Ella.
We move on.
Okay.
Question number four.
What is the largest baby to ever be born naturally?
22 pounds.
Is that the question? 22 pounds. Is that the question?
22 pounds?
She did it. Claudia gets it right, gets it done
for another week. 22 pounds,
8 ounces,
which equals over 10
kilos.
Can you imagine?
Is that woman still alive?
Ah, her fanny.
Poor woman. I just can't deal with it? Is that woman still alive? Ah, her fanny. Ow. Poor woman.
I just can't deal with it.
There it is, the win for Claudia again,
which means someone who texted through Claudia,
we will call you back and hook you up with 50 KFC chicken dollars.
Bree and Clint.
Clint away, producers in, giving me a hand.
We were just trying to figure out the name of a guy
that I nearly hooked up with at New Year's one time.
Really important research.
Yeah, and we still haven't figured it out.
Oh, I think I just remembered.
No, it's gone.
Anyway, speaking of people and hooking up, the Spotify wrapped isn't out,
but Tinder have now released their own version.
I don't understand.
How?
Yeah, like what is that you say?
Like you swiped a thousand times this year?
Essentially, they've just released a bunch of Tinder stats.
Like this is what people were liking this year.
This is what people were after.
This is what was the most liked star signs.
Do they go as deep as to be like this person was liked the most? Super liked the most like star signs? Do they go as deep as to be like, this person was liked the most out of everyone?
Yeah, like you're in the top 0.01% of swipes.
I wonder who that is.
It'd be so interesting to know who the most popular person on Tinder is.
Imagine how good looking they are.
And they must have the funniest profile.
Yeah.
I'd love to know.
Let's go through some of the Tinder-wrapped results for 2024.

Like the gym, it's a necessity.
Of course.

So glad we went through all of that.
Yeah.
Loves Taylor Swift.
Oh, and of course fishing.
Anyway, there's some tips for you for your Tinder profile.
Best to stay off it though if you are in a relationship.
That's helpful.
I have heard that.
You're welcome, guys.
You're welcome.
Bree and Clint.
The producer's in.
Give me a hand and I need to ask you guys advice on this.
Or just your opinion actually.
Yeah, okay.
So obviously Christmas coming
up and my partner and I
were at home yesterday talking about
presents. Exciting.
And the thing is that there's always
a lot more pressure
around Christmas time on my
relationship because my partner
and me, we both have
a birthday within a week of
Christmas.
Do you guys just do double presents?
You have to.
No, you can't combine it.
Thank you, Ella. Wait, is this the...
Do you spend more and get one present?
Anyone who has a birthday around Christmas time
will know that the thing you hate most
is when people give you a joint birthday Christmas present, right?
You know, I feel bad for you guys.
You wait the whole year and then it's overshadowed by Christmas.
Then they're like, here's a joint present.
Two for one.
And you can't have parties.
No, we sound...
Because everyone's away.
Be grateful.
We sound ungrateful.
And I am.
I don't care.
I'll throw my toys and my presents.
No, anyway, we're talking about gifts.
And she says to me,
because I was trying to figure out what it is.
I was like, oh, you know, what have you got me?
What have you got me?
Because I always like to make sure
that the presents I've got her,
I'm on the same level.
Do you discuss that beforehand?
Do you talk about budgets
or like we're putting in this much effort
or is it just like, you know,
this is what I want to get you.
I don't mind what I get back.
Well, last year we bought nothing because we bought our house together and we literally couldn't spend a dollar on Christmas.
I'll make you eggs on the day.
Yeah, literally.
But not really.
Not really.
Anyway, it started to slowly unravel the fact that I feel like she has gotten me one gift so it's a joint Christmas
birthday present so I was like okay this must be good yeah well yeah and I get the vibe that it's
not just a present for me but also a present for her straight tooth I have recorded some audio. You guys tell me
if you think the vibe is right after this.
Well,
technically
we would both use it
but you are the one
who is passionate about it as
opposed to me. So it's actually me
compromising by getting you this thing.
Oh, so you're compromising.
Are you? Well, I think you'll really like it and're compromising are you well i think you'll
really like it and i think will you really like it yeah of course i'm gonna like it
i'm not gonna buy you a gift that i wouldn't like what the hell can't wait to get our gift
what do you guys think okay i instantly think it's a hard one. It comes with personality.
If you're someone, and you are Bree, that wants things that everyone else would enjoy,
it's going to be hard to get you a gift regardless of Sophia liking it or not
because you just want something fun, which everyone else would like.
Yeah.
You know?
Yeah.
Does that make sense?
I think I just, I don't care about price or money or whatever.
No, of course not.
I care more about, yeah, if they've listened and they've thought,
oh, they've said they wanted that and I'll get them that.
Yeah.
My thoughts are that this gift is something for you,
but the fact that she's going to enjoy it as well, it's a bonus.
But it's definitely, I think it's definitely part of it.
It's such a, I feel like it's, I don't know what it might be,
but it feels something everyone can be a part of.
Yeah.
Do you know what I mean?
Now I'm starting to rethink my gifts for her.
Maybe I should buy her a Pee Wee 50 because I really would enjoy that.
What's a Pee Wee 50?
A Pee Wee 50.
A sheepy?
A little mini motorbike.
And we can ride it around the park illegally.
Oh, my gosh.
It'll be fun.
She will love it.
Yeah.
But I also can enjoy it.
Oh, me too.
You know?
And Ella, you as well.
It would be your normal size.
I thought, I love asking this question.
We always get such funny answers.
And I want to put it out there.
0800 dials at M.
What was the gift that you received from someone which was actually for them?
They gave it to you.
They said, here's my gift to you.
But when you opened it, you're like, oh, this is a gift for them.
You're like, I'm never going to use this.
And they're like, well, that's good because I will.
I can use it.
Yeah. What was the gift? Yes, do you have one?
Yeah, I really wanted to get
some outdoor furniture. Turns out it's
really expensive. But for mum's
present, then I kind of thought
about it. One, it's expensive, but two,
it definitely would be used by the whole family.
And I was like, oh. So you'd be out there the most.
I can't really do that if it's for everyone
and she won't even use it. What is it? Outdoor furniture. Oh, but she would like, oh. You'd be out there the most. I can't really do that if it's for everyone and she won't even use it, you know?
What is it?
Outdoor furniture.
Oh, but she would like it though.
Yeah, but do you know what?
She would be the one making sure it doesn't get rained on.
Yeah, it's another job for her.
So I was like, maybe we'll re-figure that out.
My classic is buying concert tickets for people
and I'll buy one for them and one for me.
It's a great one.
We could go together.
It's a great option.
Someone on the text machine reckons
my partner's got me a spa pool.
If it's that,
I'm okay with it being
That's a present for me as well.
That's a present for everyone.
Okay, 0800 dials in there where you can text us
or 9696. What was the gift
someone gave you?
But it was actually for them.
We're just talking about presents that people have bought you,
but technically when you opened it, you're like,
technically this is kind of for you.
And I can tell.
Has that happened to you before, Court?
I don't think so.
Not obviously anyway.
There have been some things that are like presents for me,
but they exist in the house.
Yeah.
Like board games and that kind of stuff.
But it wasn't blatantly just for the other person.
No, it wasn't like they bought me something
that they're interested in and I'm not.
There's some really good ones coming through on the text machine.
Someone said, I'm still not over this.
My wife bought me a blunt umbrella for my birthday.
No, not the personal little one, the mother effing big one.
And between the two of us, I'm a lipstick lesbian.
You tell me what I'm meant to do with this umbrella.
And do you have
to carry it when you're using it together?
I'll hold it, babe. That's not how it works.
I always have to do that because I'm slightly taller than most
of my friends. They're like, you hold it.
The burden you must
carry. It's hard.
Let's go to the phones. Let's talk to Debbie on 0800
dials at M.
Hi, Debbie.
Hello.
What was the gift that someone bought for you, Debbie,
but it was clearly for them?
My lovely husband for my birthday.
Well, actually, it wasn't just my husband.
It was from all three children as well.
A wheelbarrow.
A wheelbarrow?
And worse than that, it wasn't assembled yet.
So one child gave me the wheels and one child gave me like the bucket part.
I'm fuming for you, Debbie.
The arms.
I'm fuming.
And you're not a gardener, Debbie?
It's not something that you know you're out in the yard a lot?
We were trying to sell our house.
So we were kind of landscaping
and I'm lugging things around in buckets,
but it was mistaken for me actually wanting it.
You poor thing.
Could you hide your disgust?
I think I hid it too well, but I'm like unwrapping it
and under the wheelbarrow I'm looking for like a ring,
like sellotape to the bottom.
A piece of jewellery for God's sake.
I'm thinking there's got to be something
hidden here somewhere.
Well, at least you can carry your husband's body
once you've killed him for giving you a wheelbarrow.
He will never live that one down.
I bet he wouldn't.
Thanks for calling, Debbie.
That's so good.
Someone texts through.
This is hilarious.
They said, when I was about 12,
my parents got me a digital camera for Christmas.
They then took that camera away on their holiday with them for New Year's.
You can't.
I'll just take it with me.
You're like, we need this for our holiday.
We did buy it for you, so.
Yeah, exactly.
Someone else said, I got a brand new John Deere ride-on lawnmower
for Mother's Day from my husband. I thought I'd be nice
and do the lawns. He came out and told
me off and said I was doing it the wrong way. I've never used it since. However,
he loves it every weekend. Someone else said they got given a chainsaw.
Oh my God. There you go. Let's talk to Caitlin. G'day Caitlin.
Hi. Tell us mate, what was the gift someone gave you
and it wasn't actually for you, it was for them?
Well, I don't drink coffee.
Okay.
And my lovely partner brought me an espresso coffee maker,
like a bougie one.
How did he justify that?
He didn't.
He didn't. He didn't.
Because he would have obviously known that you don't drink coffee.
Yeah, no, I don't know.
I don't know.
He's Welsh, so he might be thinking a bit different.
You just blame it on that fact.
Did you change the gift that you got him, like, the next year
based on the coffee machine?
No, because I feel mean.
You should have.
You should have got him something.
What's something that you really want and just got him that
and being like, this is for you.
Oh, I thought about that.
And then it's just nothing.
Nothing pops to mind.
I'm like, oh, I'll just end up using it anyway.
You got me a window vacuum as well.
A window vacuum?
Yeah.
What does a window vacuum do?
Those squeegee ones?
Those Karacha things.
Yeah.
Yeah, I know what you're talking about. Hopefully, Caitlin, this year you get a leaf blower.
For what?
I don't know. But maybe he needs one, so that might be what you'll get. Hey, Caitlin, you have a good Christmas,
alright? Good luck. You too. Good luck. We're going to do
birthday banger now. If you want to know what the number one song is on your 16th
birthday, you can call us now. 0800-DIALS-ZM
We'll figure them out. We'll do three and then I'll pick my favourite one
to play out in full.
Bree and Clint.
Let's do a birthday banger.
Bree and Clint.
All I want for my birthday is a birthday banger.
Come on. Gather round, children. Gather round. This is where you call us. Tell us what your
birthday is and we figure out with some high tech technology the number one song on your
16th birthdays and then we're going to play one out in full. Let's kick it off with Dana.
Hi, Dana.
Hi.
Dana, Dana.
Dana, sorry.
Dana.
I didn't want to correct you.
Of course you can.
Dana, you can always correct me, all right?
Because we're friends like that.
Hey, mate, what is your birthday?
The 12th of March, 2002.
Oh, you're a young one, Dana. You were also
16 in 2018. And on that day, this was number one.
BBL Drizzy, Drake. What do you reckon, Dana? I think it's solid, but I wouldn't say it's a banger.
Yeah, and I mean, Drake's giving a little bit of ick at the moment, I feel.
Yeah.
Bit of an ick vibe.
I'm more a Kendrick Lamar type of gal.
But hey, not bad.
We'll see what else we get.
Let's move on to Lisa.
G'day, Lisa.
Hi.
Hey, team. What's been the best thing you've been up to today, Lisa?
Finishing work. Yeah, how good. The end of the day.
What's your last day for the year?
Just before Christmas, pretty much. Oh, same.
Just before. Same. Should we boycott, Lisa? Yeah, absolutely.
Yeah, let's get out of here. Hey, what is your birthday?
16th of March, 1987.
Right, that means you were 16 in 2003.
It's a great year, good vintage.
Here's your birthday banger.
Oh, it's an absolute banger from Tattoo.
What do you reckon, Lisa?
Absolutely.
That's so a banger.
I heard, fun fact, that one of them that was in that band, Tattoo,
is now in politics.
For real?
Yeah.
Go figure.
And it's like a politician now.
But, hey, can you imagine we turn around
and Chris Luxon has taken up DJing?
Yeah, love to see that one.
Yeah.
That would be quite a show.
Hey, hold there, Lisa.
We'll see what the last one we're going to get is with Neil.
G'day, Neil.
Hi, how's it going?
Good.
What have you been up to today, Neil?
Driving back home, to be honest, in the Auckland traffic.
Oh, yep.
I hear you.
I hear you.
Well, let's get you through.
What is your date of birth?
It's 6 June 1983.
All right, that means you were 16 in 1999.
Another good vintage.
And, Neil, this is your birthday banger.
Neil, are you a Backstreet Boy?
Yeah, I grew up listening to them and the boy bands, obviously.
Yeah. What do you reckon about I Want It That-A-Way?
Oh, absolutely. Banger. I think it's a top-notch tune.
Yeah, I haven't heard that for a while now.
Yeah, you're right, Neil.
All right, well, you're giving me something to think about.
Hold there.
I'll discuss with my fellow confidants.
Claudia, Ella, what do we reckon?
We've got God's Plan Drake, Drizzy Drake.
We've got All The Things She Said, Tartu,
or I Want It That Way, Backstreet Boys.
I've got my vote.
I feel like there's two solid ones for me here.
Yeah, not Drake.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So for me, it's between All The Things She Said
and I Want It That Way.
Yeah, All The Things She Said.
I'm throwing my toys in there.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, it's banger.
Okay, Claude.
What's up, B?
Not I, but that's slow.
You're slow.
Sorry. No, I actually agree.. You're slow. I'm sorry.
No, I actually agree.
All the things she said, I think.
I promised Ella I'd go with her yesterday.
Oh, you did.
It's not too old, though, right?
It's all right.
All the things she said, we're playing it right now.
That means, Lisa, you've taken it out.
Oh, absolutely, Lisa.
Awesome.
No worries.
Start kissing your girlfriends like Tatu.
This is All The Things You Said.
It's your birthday banger on ZM.
Tatu, All The Things You Said on ZM.
That's your birthday banger with Bree and Clint.
Yeah, no regrets.
Still a stone cold banger. That was good. Yeah, no regrets. Still a stone cold banger.
That was good.
Sorry, excuse me. Are you okay? Hello?
Hello? Were they one
you wonder? Yeah. Yeah, I think so.
Is it tattoo or tartu? Tartu?
I've always said tattoo, but I just
Yeah, I just did letters, right? I think, you know
what? You do you. It's up to you.
It's up to your interpretation.
Bri and Clint. The situation the situation so i have a quiz
team that i meet with on tuesday nights um sometimes there's heaps of us sometimes there's
a few people come in and out last night we had the pleasure of matt gibb from the television
coming to join the team he's such a sweetheart sweetheart. I worked with him on Treasure Island.
He was a contestant there.
So I've got a relationship with him.
Lovely guy.
I feel like he's easy to like kind of prod a bit and prank.
One of the nicest dudes ever.
Anyway, last night he's sitting there and he hands me this gem
and he says,
I have gotten four phone calls in the last couple of days
from random businesses asking me to be a reference
for this guy called Scott.
And I don't know who they're talking about
and I've had to keep telling people that this guy's put down
the wrong number and I can't be a reference for him.
He's not pretending. So I thought I will give him a call right now
and ask him to be a reference for this guy, Scott.
Oh, my God.
And I'm going to push him a little bit to see if he's willing
to say certain things about a guy he doesn't know to get him the job.
Okay?
Perfect.
So we've got his number.
Mm-hmm.
Let's put in the call.
Hello, Matt speaking.
Hello, is that Matt Gibb?
It is.
Oh, fantastic.
My name's Sarah.
I'm from the Property Surveying Limited Company.
I was wondering if you had a spare moment to talk about Scott Jacobson.
Scott Jacobson?
Yeah, he's put you down here as a reference and it's pretty much the last thing I had
to do today for him to get the job.
Sounds a lot like someone I know. No, I don't think you know Scott Jacobson. Could you possibly just say that you know Scott Jacobson?
He's a great guy.
Oh, Brianna.
I should have got someone to call without an Aussie accent, shouldn't I?
Bloody hell.
I forgot just before.
I was like, damn.
As I started talking, I was like, damn, I forgot to put on a voice.
That's an incredible job, though, because you did have me for a second
because I initially thought, well, that's pretty.
And then I thought, and then as soon as you said the full name,
I was like, how does she know?
Because I'm pretty sure that was his name,
but I didn't tell you his name, did I?
You did tell me his name, and I wrote it down last night.
Oh, you're good, but you're not quite good enough.
Oh, so close.
I was so close.
I should have went with, would this have got it over the line?
Okay, let's pretend.
Let's redo.
Let's pretend.
Okay, so you answer the phone.
You answer the phone.
Hello, Matthew.
Philip Gibb speaking.
Hi, is that Matthew Gibb?
Yes, it is.
Hi, Matthew. My name's
Sarah. I'm from the Property
Surveying Limited Company and I was just calling
about a reference in association
with Scott Jacobson.
You realise that even though that was you putting on
an accent or a different voice, that was still exactly
the same voice.
You need to go
to accent school, mate. What's going on?
Mate, people always rip into me about how I can't do accents,
and this is not doing anything for my confidence.
You've got the most recognisable Aussie accent of anyone I've ever heard.
It's like the fullest, thickest Queensland accent, mate.
Damn it.
I should have given you my Rita Ora.
Yeah, g'day, mate.
It's me, Rita Ora.
Oh, that's uncanny.
Jeez.
All right.
Well, I'll let Scotty Jacobson know that he hasn't got the job, all right?
I feel terrible.
I do feel.
I hope he does get the job.
You know, it's Christmas.
Let's throw him a bone, like you say.
If you get another call, please can you just say, you know him,
he's a fantastic guy, and they should hire him.
Yeah, all right.
Just for you, Bree.
All right, mate. Just for you. Just for me. Yeah, all right. Just for you, Bree. All right, mate.
Just for you.
Just for me.
Toss all your morals out the window, Matt Gibbs.
It's done.
All right, mate.
All right, have a Merry Christmas.
See you later.
See you.
Merry Christmas.
Bye.
See you, boy.
Bloody hell.
Should have got someone else to make the call.
It's officially that time of the year when all the lists come out.
I mean, no Spotify wrapped yet.
Yeah, where is it?
We're waiting.
I know.
I literally woke up this morning and I'm like, oh, I feel it.
Today's the day.
Then it just doesn't happen.
Yeah, I did check as well.
What a letdown.
Are we being ghosted by Spotify wrapped?
Yeah, maybe they're not doing it.
They have to.
As if.
Maybe they thought, okay.
The only thing I'm excited about.
It's the best marketing they get all year where everyone thinks that everyone wants to see
their Spotify wrapped. Yeah, I don't. everyone thinks that everyone wants to see their Spotify rap.
Yeah, I don't.
So they post about it all over their socials.
Anyway, no, it's not that.
Oxford, the Oxford Dictionary.
The fancy one.
Yes, the fancy dictionary has released its word of the year
and what was the other dictionary we did?
HarperCollins?
No.
No?
I think that's a book publishing company
uh it was anyway it's the name of something else right it was another dictionary and their word of
the year harper collins oh you were close oh my god i'll give that to me i take back my scoffs i
had at you thinking you were completely i was so close, but so far. Their word of the year was brat, obviously,
in association with CharlieXCX.
But Oxford Dictionary have released their word of the year,
and it's different.
Do you want to hear what was on the list?
Yeah.
This is what was in the mix for the Oxford Dictionary's
word of the year.
So apparently this was all done on public vote.
Oh, good.
So 37,000 people participated in this vote.
Can we trust the people?
I think so.
That's a good enough sample, I reckon.
True.
You know when they do a survey and it's like 1,000 people?
We surveyed 150 of our closest friends.
And I'm like, is that a big enough sample?
I don't know.
But, yeah, 37,000 people participated.
And the words that were shortlisted were law.
L-A-W?
L-O-R-E.
Oh, the law, yes.
What's that?
I feel like it's a new term.
Yeah, sort of.
What does it mean?
Like you don't know the law.
It's like you don't know the backstory.
You don't know the history. You don't know the history. You don't know
the tales. I've never heard
of it. Yeah. There you go. That was one.
Dynamic pricing.
Oh my gosh. What?
What does that mean? Fun. Who knows?
Maybe that's a slang term that we didn't get in New Zealand.
Slop. That was Taylor Swift's fault. Slop.
Slop was on the list.
Romanticy.
Which I quite like that one. which I've never heard of.
Romantic fantasy book?
Yeah.
Okay.
Maybe it's like obviously the big rise in those kind of.
The smutty books.
Yeah, maybe.
Demure.
That was the one I thought was going to win.
Very mindful.
And brain rot.
They were the six words.
I'm surprised Riz isn't in there.
So that was last year.
So because I looked into it.
Catch up.
Yeah, I looked into it and last year the word was Riz.
Oh my gosh, it's been a year already.
And the year before that, which was the crappiest one they've picked,
in my opinion, was Goblin Mode in 2022.
Oh no, I love that.
But the top spot and word of the year, according to Oxford Dictionary,
brain rot.
No.
Which I kind of have to agree.
Oh, gosh.
What have we become?
Do you want me to read out the definition according to the Oxford Dictionary
when it comes to brain rot?
So it says here,
the dictionary defines brain
rot as the supposed deterioration
of a person's mental
or intellectual state, especially
viewed as the result of
overconsumption
of material, considered
to be trivial or unchallenging
i.e. TikTok. The irony
of this for me is that that is such
a TikTok word. no one uses that outside
of we don't use it in our day-to-day vocabulary and also it's a prestigious dictionary for them
to be using such like a silly they're trying to keep up with the times yeah you know i mean so
i use the word quite often or the term term, sorry, rather, bed rot.
Yeah, that's good.
I do love a good bed rot session.
Couch rot.
Yeah, couch rot.
I have permanently put a dent in my couch from where I've couch rotted.
You do it with your docs.
You wear them in.
You do it with your couch.
Anyway, we would keep talking, but I'm off to do some brain rot on my phone.
And I'm going to go goblin mode.
Okay, sweet.
You go do that. You scroll TikTok. Okay, sweet. You go do that.
You scroll TikTok.
Okay, sweet.
Bree and Clint.
And that is officially the end of the show.
Do you think Clint's boarded his Disney boat?
Oh, yeah.
He probably has.
He probably Disney-es.
Set sail already.
Yeah, meeting Mickey Mouse.
Is that something you guys would be interested in?
I think sometime in my life I would do a cruise,
but I don't think I would do a Disney cruise.
Yeah, so you're not a Disney adult?
I was until maybe six years ago,
and then I just suddenly grew out of that,
and now I'm like, it's enough.
I don't want it.
What was the change?
I don't know.
What do you think it was?
I think I just matured, you know,
found other things to be interested in. Shade.
Shade. I've seen they do like comedy
cruises. Oh that'd be fun.
Where it's like all centred around stand up comedy
which looks quite fun.
Yeah that's fun. That's what you want. You want to go
on holiday, relax and laugh. I feel like
maybe a Disney cruise is good for
kids and families. Do you reckon it'd be
amazing? Imagine the kids
they'd go berserk.
Of course.
Honestly, it would be really fun.
Disney themed.
Even if you didn't have kids, I think you'd have the best time.
Yeah.
Clint said he was really worried about being seasick.
Oh, yeah.
Which I don't think is really a concern on those gigantic boats, but I don't know.
I think it can be.
Because I haven't been on them.
Some of the rooms don't have windows as well. Like internal
rooms and they've got like a fake porthole painted
on the wall. So that might be where it's
an issue. Yeah.
If you can see the horizon. My friend went on a
cruise once and everyone on the
floor that she stayed on got gastro.
And it was a bad
time. Devastated.
You just want to go home and you're stuck on a boat.
You can't even sleep nicely because you might then feel the rocking. Oh, you poor devastated. You just want to go home and you're stuck on a boat. You can't even sleep nicely because, yeah, you might then feel the rocking.
Oh, you poor mate.
Speaking of going home.
Bye.
Was it that time already?
It is that time.
It's at seven already.
Drive safe.
We'll see you same time, same place.
See you later.
Bye.
Bye.
