Everyone wants to be seen to be environmentally conscious in our agricultural industry,
but who is actually walking the walk?
Not all suppliers of bale wrap into the NZ market participate in the collection and recovery of their plastic,
leaving it to others to take care of.
Can you be certain your supplier is also contributing to the cost of collection?
Leave the right legacy for future farming generations.

ZM's brain clenched thanks
to KFC's hot and crispy
boneless. Dolly Parton's
husband of nearly 60 years
Carl Dean has died.
That's news.
Tonight we are going to witness the most anticipated show
in the history of professional radio.
Danny, Brie and Clint.
Afternoon, everybody.
Welcome to the Brie and Clint show.
There's sad news about Dolly Parton's husband.
Yeah, that was my last representation. No, I shouldn't Parton's husband. Yeah, that was my last representation.
No, I shouldn't say that.
As a joke.
That was my last representation
that true love still exists.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
No, Tom Hanks and his wife
are still married.
Oh, yeah, true.
They're still married, yeah.
My parents are still married.
Your parents are still married.
Trump and Melania
are hanging on by a thread.
Oh, that's true.
John and Bronona Key.
A thread being a very large
contract. Yeah, yeah, legal thread
for the Trump.
Allegedly. Allegedly.
Nah, we joke. You can tell
they're in love. I think Trump's a bit busy
to sue us. I reckon you're good.
Oh, you never know.
Famous last words. You never know, eh?
Allegedly. We said allegedly. Allegedly. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Famous last words, eh? You never know, eh? Allegedly. We said allegedly.
Allegedly.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Have you seen the school lunches or the chat around the school lunches?
Yes, I have.
Around the country?
What were your thoughts on it?
They look pretty grim.
Yeah, some of them look grim.
But I will say my mum, notoriously a bad lunchmaker,
and I would say mine probably looked like similar
when I was in school.
My mum, good lunchmaker.
Was she?
Yeah, my dad, good lunchmaker.
What were the specialties that you used to get in your lunchbox?
We didn't get packet things.
We didn't eat like packets of chips and LCM bars and stuff.
Nah, that was rich people food in our family.
Oh, we used to get the home brand chips, so.
Oh yeah. Yeah. That was pretty cheap. home brand chips, so. Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
That was pretty cheap.
I feel like my lunches were pretty good.
I made my kids' lunches today.
God, shout out to anyone who's making school lunches every day.
That job looks like it sucks.
It does.
Yeah.
Like, just.
Like, I don't even make my own lunch.
And then they don't eat it, and you're like, oh, what's the bloody point?
You know those people that make their whole, like, platform
is content of them making lunches for their kids
and there's, like, sushi rice balls and all these other things.
I'm like, I just don't think I'd ever be that person.
People who do those accounts are good, though,
because you need inspiration.
It's like dinner.
It's just like you need dinner inspiration,
you need lunchbox inspiration too.
How about I put what's in your lunchbox and you eat it?
And if you don't, you go hungry.
Thanks, David Seymour.
Let's get into tradie versus lady.

today is calling from Christchurch.
She's 15 and she's on the New Zealand
dodgeball team.
Welcome to the show, Molly.
G'day, Molly.
Hi.
What would you say is your best skill?
Dodging, ducking, dipping, diving or dodging?
Definitely all of the above.
Yeah, that's the right answer.
It checks out.
She's obviously on the team.
Do you like the movie Dodgeball?
Yeah.
Yeah, it's good, eh?
Love it.
If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a dodgeball.
You're taking on our tradie from Canterbury today.
He is 19 and he's got six dogs.
Welcome to the show, Lachlan.
G'day, Lachy.
Hi.
Do you actually own six dogs and how much work is that?
Oh, it's more my family's
work, but yes.
Okay, so your family owns six dogs.
Yes.
And are they working dogs or pets?
Pets. Wow.
That's a lot of dogs. That's a lot of dog food and a lot of dog
poo. Lockie, your buzzer is

Good luck, guys. Here we go. Question number

Maybe you should change careers from dodgeball to tradie versus lady.
Champions.
Some kind of quiz show contestant.
Tough day at the office, Lockie.
Molly, you've scored $50 cash and a win for the ladies.
Congratulations.
Oh, my gosh.
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
Call back any time.
That was a ripping game, wasn't it?
Poor Lockie didn't get a word in his life.
He didn't get to answer any.
The Oscars were on yesterday.
A lot of good stories coming out of the Oscars.
I saw Kieran Culkin, who's Macaulay Culkin's brother.
He was in Home Alone.
Was he?
Yeah, he was the kid that, I think they called him,
he was his cousin and he's the one that drank too much Pepsi
and would wet the bed.
Oh, I didn't know that.
That's Macaulay's brother, younger brother.
I know Kieran Culkin from Succession, the TV show.
But yeah, Macaulay Culkin's brother.
Arguably the more successful long-term Culkin, isn't he?
Yeah.
He's gone on to have a bigger acting career.
Yeah, he's been acting for a lot longer.
Although, does it get bigger than two Home Alones and a Richie Rich?
Like, you know when you've peaked, eh?
And if you peak early, you peak early.
Yeah, sometimes it happens.
Kieran Culkin won the award for Best Supporting Actor yesterday
for his work in a movie called A Real Pain.
I don't know it, but it must be good if he won the award.
He gave a really good and funny acceptance speech.
And in there, he revealed a deal that he made with his wife have a listen to this about a year ago i was on a stage like this and i very
stupidly publicly said that i want a third kid from her because she said if i won the award she
would give me the kid uh after the show we're walking through a parking lot she goes i guess
i owe you a third kid and i turned to her her and I said, really, I want four.
And she said, I will give you four when you win an Oscar.
I held
my hand out, she shook it,
and I have not brought it up once until just
now. Then I just have this to say to you,
Jazz, love of my life, ye of little
faith, I'm really sorry I did this
again. And let's get
cracking on those kids. What do you say?
I love you.
He obviously really wanted the fourth kid.
He wanted it so badly he won an Oscar.
He won an Oscar for it. He was saying that with an Oscar
in his hand. I love the fact that she
probably said that
as such a lofty
goal. She's like, as if.
This will never happen. I love you and I believe in you,
but as if you're going to win an Oscar.
And he's like, alright, you sent me a challenge.
And some people that's,
and maybe she just knew her husband, she's like, this is how
I motivate him. I know what he wants,
and I know what he needs. He wants a kid,
he needs an Oscar. So,
I'll tell him he can have what he wants when he gets
what he needs, and he went and did it.
I wonder if they'll end up having the fourth kid.
I think you have to now, don't you?
Like.
Yeah.
Such good luck.
And does he want a fifth?
You know?
Yeah, he has to win a Grammy.
He has to get an EGOT.
He has to win the Grammy for best rap album.
Yeah.
And he can have a fifth kid.
She's like, oh, I'm pretty safe here.
I want to know what deals people have made with their partners for things.
And it doesn't have to be for babies. I'm thinking like it could have been your partner wants to buy this thing and you
said okay well you can buy that boat if i can buy this whatever dress car tv i don't know what's the
thing that you guys bargained with or did you do a dodgy deal and they're like, I know you've got a crush on such and such.
You can hook up with them if I can hook up with this person.
I don't know.
Whoa.
I don't know.
Jeez, that's a big deal.
It would be a big deal.
Yeah.
Or you can hook up with this person if I can have a boat.
I'd pick someone that was, you know,
if they're picking someone.
Close to home.
You've got to pick like on the same level or else... Yeah, yeah.
You're not going to have the same opportunities.
Yeah, if they...
Like, if your partner says,
I want to hook up with Kate Hudson
and you say, I want to hook up with producer Claudia...
Yeah, like, let's be real.
Obviously, producer Claudia, probably more of a sure thing.
Aren't you, Claude?
She's nodding.
She's nodding. She's nodding. She's nodding.
She's nodding.
She's nodding.
She's not disagreeing.
We want to know, on our 800 dials at M,
or you can text it in to us,
what's the deal that you made with your partner?
Didn't have to be dodgy, could have been dodgy, don't care.
I just want to know the details.
And did the deal come through?
Did the deal happen?
Sorry, I just read a text that came through,
and you can definitely not read that out on air,
but I appreciate the honesty.
Is it a deal?
It is a deal, yeah.
But you can't read it out.
But I appreciate the honesty, and thank you for sharing.
Someone else said, I said my husband could have...
Oh, my God!
Yeah, I know.
Yeah.
Wow, you cannot read that out.
You can't read that out.
At 22 minutes past three o'clock.
But, I mean, a deal's a deal. But a deal's... That is what we're asking for. That is a deal that you made. This one we read that out. You can't read that out? At 22 minutes past 3 o'clock. But, I mean, a deal's a deal.
But a deal's a deal.
That is what we're asking for.
That is a deal that you made.
This one we could read out.
Someone said, I said, my husband could have a virtual reality headset for his PS5 when he got abs.
He got the set but still doesn't have abs.
Oh.
That's not a very.
Get the abs.
That's not a very good deal.
The VA headset was for you and the abs were for your partner.
Well, technically, if he gets two reality headsets,
then both of them can get what they want.
Oh, she can pitch her abs.
Yeah.
Well, in the virtual reality, he can have abs, he can have, you know...
Everything.
...bigger things.
Different colour things.
Brie and Clint.
Kieran Culkin yesterday won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor
and he said his wife told him he could have a fourth child
when he won an Oscar.
So he went out and won an Oscar.
She didn't think he was gonna.
No.
But he did.
And I guess now they're having a fourth baby.
Now they're having a fourth baby.
Bet they had a fun night last night.
So we're asking, what's the deal that you did in your relationship?
We're having so many come through on the text machine,
which people texting them and
know we can't read out on the radio.
Very saucy. You naughty
people. I mean, good for you.
And I hope both parties upheld their
end of the deal. Yeah.
But we're not reading those out.
Their end of the bargain, am I right?
Kerry is here. Hi, Kerry. Hi, Kerry.
Yeah.
We're good. Is your one safe for human consumption on the radio?
It sure is, yeah.
What was the deal?
What was the deal?
But like the Colkins, really, I really wanted a third baby,
and my husband was a bit enthusiastic about it.
Yeah.
So he said if we bought a house in Auckland
and his business got up and running
which she thought would never happen
we could have a third baby
so that was it
like, popped in
I'm going for it, so it took a few years
but you got there
Did you shake on that deal, Kerry?
Was this a handshake deal?
It was 100% a handshake deal,
but he was firmly in the mindset that it was never going to happen.
Yeah, right.
So he was like, sweet, I can make the deal.
That poor guy.
Now he's got a house, a successful business, and a wonderful child.
Oh, terrible.
All the things he didn't want, Kerry.
All the things he didn't want.
But you gave it to him anyway.
Thank you.
Let's talk to Aaron on 0800 1000 M.
Hi, Aaron.
Hi, Aaron.
How are you going?
Good, thank you.
Tell us, Aaron, what's the deal you made in your relationship?
We were sitting at a cafe one morning,
and the missus really wanted a half-decent fish tank.
Okay.
So I picked up a packet of sugar,
and I said, if you can guess the country of origin this was made,
then you can get it right then and there.
This sounds like a bet.
Yeah, well, it kind of was.
And I upheld my deal, my part of the deal.
Okay.
But yeah, she guessed it within the second try.
Where was it from?
Yugoslavia.
What?
Yeah, so I told her, don't pick, don't, I said,
think outside the box.
You know, China, Australia, all those sort of things.
And she guessed it in the second bloody guess, yeah.
That's pretty unbelievable about how all the countries that she could have picked.
Are you sure she didn't Jedi mind trick you somehow, Aaron?
Yeah, well, possibly.
I sort of questioned it when she got on her second trick when it comes to... But it was your question.
But he came up with the question.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Wow.
So we were down pretty much nearly a thousand bucks that day.
Wow.
Good man.
A bet's a bet.
You follow through.
So well done.
Good on you, Aaron.
Some really good ones coming through.
I like this one.
It says, I said to my husband he could have a Harley if I could get an Evo.
We now have both in our garage.
That sounds like a fun relationship to me.
Yeah, I wonder what...
I always did wonder where Vin Diesel and his woman ended up.
My husband told our son he could,
if he won his motocross race, he'd buy him a PS5.
He got sickened, but my husband only down...
Oh, so he downgraded it to $100.
Oh, all the way from a PS5 to 100 bucks.
That's a big jump, isn't it?
Someone else said, my parents had a deal.
Dad got broadband internet and mum got a new kitten.
Both are very happy.
A new kitten?
A new kitten and dad got broadband internet.
Wow, okay.
Yeah.
I was allowed to get an Oklahoma Joe barbecue if I didn't get sunburned last summer.
Jokes on my wife.
I got a barbecue and no melanoma.
What a great deal.
Someone said, my husband had a terrible habit at buying motorcycle parts.
So when I was pregnant, I made a deal that for every bike part he buys,
I get to spend the same amount on baby items.
We got our nursery real fast.
That's a good deal.
My partner and I were fishing. He said to me, if I catch a snapper, he'll put a ring on it. We got our nursery real fast. That's a good deal. My partner and I were fishing. He said to me
if I catch a snapper, he'll put a ring
on it. We're now engaged.
See, that's fun. That is a bit of fun.
Yeah. Last one, Celine.
Hi, Celine. Hi, Celine.
Hi. What was the deal you did
in your relationship with your partner?
So when we just
started dating, he tried to get me
to beatbox and I said, no way, only on our wedding day,
obviously not thinking we'd ever actually get married.
Fast forward 10 years later, I had to get my maid of honour
to put a little bit of a rap together.
I had to pick up the microphone, and I had to beatbox
while my bridesmaid were rapping in the background.
I even did a little mic drop.
Hey, Celine, we're going to need to hear a little bit of that beatbox, OK?
Can you give us a bit of that beatbox, please?
For a few years in the 1970s, the Mr Asia Syndicate made millions.
Heroin creates its own market.
It acts like a form of play. Until
jealousy, betrayal and murder
brought it all crashing down.
Then he just pulled out a gun, shot her
in the back of the head and then said to Wayne
you're going to help me bury her.
This is Mr Asia, A Forgotten History.

Brie and Clint.
I was eavesdropping on a conversation between Brie and our producer Claudia yesterday
in which you said you're going to see a psychic,
and if she's good, Claudia, you will go and see the same psychic.
Is that true?
Correct.
Correct.
Yeah, we've been talking about this for a few months, actually.
Haven't we, Claude?
Yeah, we've been meaning to for ages, but it just hasn't happened yet.
But I'm ready.
Why, let's start with you, Brie, why do you want to see a psychic?
I see a psychic probably every three or four years.
Really?
Yeah.
What for?
I think it's, I use it as a bit of a reset,
a little bit of a guidance thing. You know, you take it with a bit of a reset, a little bit of a guidance thing.
You take it with a grain of salt, obviously,
but it's also just something fun to do.
Okay.
Do you remember when you and I went and saw that psychic
on Santa Monica Boulevard when we were looking for Channing Tatum
in Los Angeles and we were down to our last $100
and we were desperate, so we went to the psychic
and we asked her, are we going
to find Channing Tatum?
And I think she was like, yeah
but it won't be here.
That's what she said. Really? Yes.
We should find the audio. I'm telling
you, I'm pretty sure she said you will
eventually meet but it's not
going to be here. And we did.
Yeah, but it wasn't in LA.
Weird. Doesn't mean I believe i doesn't mean i believe doesn't mean
i believe doesn't mean i believe clint does everything he can to be against psychics and
not believing in them but then i can tell sometimes he'll be like oh it's what's like
it's like oh and what what'd they say oh what like if i went like what's like superhero movies
it's fun to believe
yeah but it's i know it's not like i said you take it with a grain of salt and to be honest
the thing that really converted me was i have a close friend who has abilities and she superhero She... Superhero or psychic? Both. Right. No, no, no. She can connect with spirit.
And she isn't...
Like when I met her, she was just my friend for a long, long time.
And then like after years of knowing her,
she then was like, I have these abilities.
And I...
She's unbelievable.
And... Do you remember we got that pet psychic to try and locate your mum's lost dog? Did we? and she's unbelievable.
Do you remember we got that pet psychic to try and locate your mum's lost dog?
Did we?
Do you remember that one?
Yeah, the dog that ran away.
Did we ever end up getting it, or did we just have that idea?
No, she was live on air with your mum.
Oh.
Yeah.
Never found the dog.
Didn't find the dog.
Claudia, why do you want to see a psychic?
I feel like I want to hear what they have to say and then
if I like it I'll be like I'm a believer
and then if I don't like it I'll be like
Claudia wants to put him to the test
You're as sceptical as me
I've got a feeling you're going in there
I have seen a psychic before but there were so many things
about it that I was like I don't believe you
because she was a friend of my auntie
so kind of knew my life story
anyway. So she's like, I'm coming with
these specific details and I'm like, I think
you might already know those. So how do you hedge your bits
against that? How do you guarantee? I'm going to
give them nothing. Yeah, right, okay.
I'll give them my name and nothing else. I'm telling
you now, the amount of readings
that psychics do,
like with anything,
doctors, lawyers, there's good ones and bad ones. Yeah. And psychics do. Like with anything, you know, doctors, lawyers,
there's good ones and bad ones.
And psychics are no different.
There's the really, really good ones
and then the not so good dodgy ones.
Like it just, it's the same in anything.
Where do you look for a psychic?
I always have gotten my psychics.
Yellow pages?
Word of mouth.
Right, okay.
So other people I know that have used them
Or the last person that gave me a reading was one of my close friends
Yeah
Yeah, or I got a reading one time from this psychic
Claudia wouldn't trust a psychic that's her close friend
Because she'd be like, of course you know that about me
You're my close friend
Exactly right
But this is all future stuff
This was all future stuff
And then you have to wait and see if it happens
But I also got a reading one time from this woman
who was on this Aussie radio show,
the Kyle and Jackie O show.
And I heard her on that show
where she predicted the winners of the Melbourne Cup.
Oh, see, that's the kind of psychic
I'd be interested in talking to.
That was pretty impressive.
If you find me one of those, I'll pay for a reading.
Yeah.
I'd still have her number somewhere if you want to get in touch.
Oh, I do.
Does she do lotto numbers?
Yeah, exactly.
Don't know about lotto.
She was a dream psychic, yeah.
Bree and Clint.
Hot and Crispy Boneless is back at KFC.
Get them on.
From iHeartRadio, this is the latest live from LA with Dean McCarthy.
Dean, the Oscars went down yesterday and we love talking about this.
What were in the Oscars goodie bags?
Oh, my goodness.
This is the reason to get into acting, kids.
Quit school and go become actors because let me tell you what was in the goodie bag.
Okay, $213,000 worth of goods.
Lots of dumb stuff like lip gloss and makeup and stuff like that.
Let's talk about the stuff that is really juicy.
$25,000 trip to the Maldives.
Wow.
There is a $25,000 liposuction voucher.
What?
I'm not even kidding.
There's a procedure voucher at something like Art Lipo.
I'm not even making that up.
There was all kinds of books and cutting boards and all these things
but there's one part of the membership
of the gift bag that I am
a bit shaken about. This is what it says.
Let me read it to you. A member
in the Hollywood chapter
of the Illuminati
or a live show from
Dr. Carl Christensen
worth $25,000.
What does it mean to be a membership in the Hollywood chapter of the Illuminati?
Yeah.
And I Googled it, right?
Yeah.
And there's no, I don't really know what they mean by that.
Well, of course.
It would be so secretive.
It would be so secretive.
The gosses that Jay-Z and Beyonce are in the music chapter of the Illuminati.
But who do we think would be in the Hollywood chapter of the Illuminati?
Yeah, Buzzy.
Leo.
Oh, Leo.
Yeah, you're dead right.
Yeah, yeah.
For sure.
George Clooney.
George Clooney.
Yeah, maybe.
Beyonce and Jay-Z.
Are you going to be in the Hollywood one as well?
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
They're just on the top.
They're just in the top, yeah.
Yeah.
Oh, wow.
How was Elton John's party, Dean?
And we made you a wager yesterday.
$500 if you got a pash from Sir Elton John.
Do you have anything to report to us?
Can I get $500 for pashing someone else?
$500 per pash?
Dean, if we paid you $500 every time you hooked up with a random,
we would be flat broke.
We'd have to file for bankruptcy.
I'd give you all my own gift bags.
Dean, on a scale of one to ten, how good looking were they?
Oh, so gorgeous.
I mean, everyone in the party was stunning.
Megan Thee Stallion, literally, she was the one that turned all the way up.
Liz Helly was dancing with her son, Damien.
The Hilton sisters were there.
Chris Schell from Selling Sunset was partying.
Yeah, but specifically the person you hooked up with,
how good looking were they?
Oh, so hot.
Were they famous?
Yeah.
I think not famous to me.
I don't think social media people are famous in that way.
Oh, my God, you did not hook up with Chris Olsen.
If you hooked up with Chris Olsen, how dare you?
If you did, you don't have to answer me,
but I feel like that's who it was.
I saw him on your Instagram story.
You look cute together.
Your silence speaks volumes, Dean.
Your silence is deafening.
From our Hollywood kiss and tell correspondent, Dean McCarthy,
and we're back after this on ZM.
Bree and Clint.
One of the worst things, I reckon,
is when someone asks you to use skills that you have for free.
I just feel like, especially when it comes from friends,
because I feel like friends should acknowledge
that they shouldn't be asking for certain things for free.
I feel like friends are the ones who maybe can get away with asking you,
but it should be like...
Not a true friend if they ask you more than once.
Yeah, but...
That's just my opinion.
I would never do that to a friend.
I know, but it's like it's when your friends expect it for free,
that's when it becomes an issue.
Like if you're like a builder and they're like,
oh, we're putting up a deck,
you'd come around and help put up a deck for us, wouldn't you?
You're a builder.
If you get to be known around your friend group
as the person that always is asking for free stuff
and not paying for, you know, whatever,
that is my worst nightmare.
I would never want to be that person.
Like this text, photographer here, I always get invited to things
and then I get asked to bring my camera.
Yeah, see that, yuck.
Do you want me there or do you just want a photographer there?
No, they don't want them there.
They just want a free photographer.
I came across this woman's page on TikTok
who people write their stories like these into her and she tells them.
And one that I was watching was about these two people
where they'd been friends 10 years ago, right?
So they'd been friends 10 years ago.
And this woman who's now a makeup artist, very successful.
I think she lives in a city somewhere.
Here's from this friend of hers from 10 years ago asking for a freebie.
Take a listen.
Hey, Jessie.
Long time no talk.
Sorry to hear about your parents.
Sorry I didn't get in touch at the time.
So I'm getting married third time's a charm.
Wink.
And I'm looking for a makeup artist.
Are you still practicing and would you be free?
Yes, I'm still a makeup artist and I'm in the process of opening a salon in London with Blink.
It must be easier if you do someone closer to you. Yeah thought about getting a local makeup artist but like i said i'm
on a limited budget was hoping to get a friend discount it's only a three-hour drive for you to
get here and you could come to the wedding if you wanted you could take some pics from it to use for
your portfolio how much do you think you can afford my normal rates are 75 pounds per hour
you really tried to that much i was hoping you would offer to do it for free.
I invited you to my wedding, which is only small.
And I've said you could use the pictures to take your portfolio.
I'm sorry, but I'm not going to be able to do your makeup for you.
That's so uncomfortable.
I would just blatantly just be like, move on.
Go ask someone else.
You're not getting a freebie from me.
I haven't talked to you in 10 years.
And the big reward is I get to come to your wedding.
We haven't been friends for 10 years.
It's a pity invite.
Yeah, yeah, your staff. It's not a real invite.
Your staff at the wedding.
Exactly.
That's what happened to people in that kind of industry
all the time.
Can I just say,
I am friends with quite a few makeup artists
and it does happen all the time
and they hate it.
Yeah.
Because they're using their skills that they obviously had to work very hard to get, all their products, their time, and then you just expect not to pay them?
Yeah.
Come on now.
Come on, guys.
It's funny because there's jobs you wouldn't do it for.
Like if your friend was a surgeon, you wouldn't ask them to operate on you for free. Hey, can I have a free ACL surgery?
Yeah, you know? Yeah. But if your friend is a plumber, you might ask them to do your new
bathroom or something. Yeah. Like what's the difference? Where's the line? What other jobs
wouldn't you ask? It's like a level of respect for the job, isn't it? It's showing a level of disrespect
for the job
by asking for it for free.
You wouldn't ask,
like,
I reckon lawyers do get asked.
I reckon lawyers,
their friends go,
Yeah, they would.
Would you mind taking a look
over this contract for me?
And that's so wrong.
I'm appearing in court next week.
Would you mind representing me?
Unless it's your brother or your sister.
In which case you probably shouldn't operate on
or represent your brother or sister in court.
No, no.
And even then, like a favour, like once in a blue moon is fine.
I'm not saying you can't ever ask for a favour,
but asking more than once, like in a year or two years, too much.
Someone texted and said, I'm a gardener slash landscape designer, and you wouldn't believe
how often I get this from friends and family and even friends of friends.
See, why do people think it's appropriate?
I used to get asked a lot to go and emcee events or to do that kind of thing for friends
or if someone's having an event, that type of thing.
And eventually I got to the point where I was like,
one, I actually don't even enjoy emceeing
because it makes me very anxious speaking in public.
And two, I'm not going to just do it for free.
You know?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Like why do you think, oh, it's hard.
You love talking.
I hate talking in public.
It's my worst nightmare.
Oh, $800 at M or text 9696.
Come on, get it out there.
Get it out there.
A lot of people texting through already.
I love it.
What is your job and how many people,
how often do people expect you to do that thing for free?
Get in touch.
Share it with us.
And we're happy to broadcast it for you this afternoon.
Might be a good learning space for some.
Bree and Clint.
Talking about those times that friends or family might ask you for a favour to use your skills.
Your job.
To give them a freebie on something.
Give up your time, energy.
Lots of usual ones coming through, which are really good to hear as well.
But some jobs I didn't expect anybody to ask freebies for, like this one.
I'm a sheep sharer.
Everybody wants to own some sheep and thinks all I want to do after work is share more sheep.
For free?
I also don't understand mates rates.
If I'm your mate, why are you trying to screw me over by not paying me?
Yeah, it doesn't make sense, eh?
And that's a lot of extra work.
Sheep shearing is hard yakka.
I doubt that sheep shearer wants more work.
And to do it for free?
Absolutely not.
What about this one?
My husband and I are both vets,
and the amount of free advice messages we get is ridiculous.
From overseas relatives to childhood hairdressers or primary school friends we haven't spoken to
in decades, they usually already have seen a vet, then they ask for our second opinion.
And the annoying thing is it's really hard to diagnose over the phone. The other thing is
we don't want to. We don't want to. I
knew somebody who was a vet and they said
they were going to lose
it if one more person they knew
asked them for ketamine.
Oh, really? Yeah.
Which is a horse tranquiliser.
Do you have access to... Are you
serious? Yeah, I do.
And I could lose my job
for doing what you're asking.
So get out of my face. Unless you're
a horse with a sore leg,
go away. I'm a physiotherapist
and everyone always asks me
for massages. I remind
them that I'm a physiotherapist
and not a massage therapist.
Golly. God, that would annoy me.
I don't want to
massage you. I don't want to touch you.
I don't want to touch you, okay?
That's my full-time job and not what I do anyway.
This is another one from a photographer's perspective.
They said, it's so funny though being a photographer.
Friends will say how lucky they are to have me
because photographers are so expensive.
Sis, you clearly are not valuing my time or the service I offer
and you are straight up insulting me.
They are also the same friends that will usually say stuff like,
God, your camera takes great photos.
She's like, I took the photo, not the camera.
It's me, the one who has all the skills.
You know the skills that you're not paying for.
Yeah, you try and take this photo with this camera. Caitlin's here on 0800
Diles at M. Hi, Caitlin. Hi, Caitlin. Hi. Are people asking,
like friends and family asking for freebies, Caitlin? Yes.
I'm a beauty therapist and I get asked all the time to do my
friends waxing, massages, eyebrows. And they never,
Caitlin, they never offer you any money?
No, I mean, at least offer me a drink or something.
But yeah, no, I do have my own kid at home.
Wow.
I mean, I don't imagine looking at your friend's hoo-ha after hours
is high on your priority list, Caitlin.
I do draw the line at Brazilian.
So you won't give a friend a Brazilian?
Is that a professional line that you've drawn?
Well, not in my own home.
No offence,
Caitlin, but it sounds like you have pretty crappy
friends. Like, they need
to get their stuff together.
What's the barter circle, though?
What do your friends have that you can get for free
in return for beauty treatments?
Oh, I don't know.
I mean, one of my friends is a
social worker, so I guess like
you can buy something.
You get your life sorted out. How about
here's a crazy thought, Caitlin.
This is crazy. How
about they just pay you for the skills
that you're giving to them?
And all the products and stuff that you're probably using.
Exactly. That would
be amazing. The wild theory.
Do the ones that want you to do like a wax for them,
do they expect you to provide the wax?
Yeah, yeah.
Because they know that I have my own kid at home.
Yeah, but you're paying for that.
Yeah.
Spray tans would be the same.
Yeah.
I hope your friends are listening right now, Caitlin,
and they feel real bad.
I'm an ex-employment lawyer.
I literally asked all the time to review contracts and help with jobs.
I'm so happy to help with agreements, et cetera,
and I love being able to help people.
But the complicated issues that would take weeks and weeks
and thousands of dollars to help with,
I do have a bit of an issue with,
especially the expectation of it,
even when I explain that it's incredibly complicated
and would take up half of my work
hours. Yeah, that's totally fair.
And it's not just mates that ask, it's mates
of mates. Yeah.
People, I don't understand
how people aren't using their brains.
What about this one? I'm an early childhood teacher
and parents will ask me to watch their
kids for free as a
favour to me because I must love children so much.
I've got some of those kids that you love.
Can you watch them?
This one's also good.
I'm a builder.
My partner asked me to build stuff for her on the daily.
Rude, right?
No, they get around that.
No, they get around that.
They get a pass.
Matt, what's your job?
I'm an electrician.
Oh, here we go, Matt.
How often are people asking you for a freebie?
Yeah, a lot.
I've come up with the idea when people ask me what I do,
I say, it's best if you don't know.
Jeez, that sounds dodgy.
Yeah, it's real dodgy,
but it's better than me having to work at their house on the weekends.
Matt, do you have any, like, would you consider your best friends,
like, are your best friends still asking you for freebies?
Most of my mates are electricians.
That way you don't have to deal with that bullshit.
That's a good way of dealing with it.
I mean, that's a great way to get around it.
I've got another line for you that you could use, Matt,
when they say, what do you do for a job?
You could be honest.
You could say, I'm an
electrician, but I'm not a very good one.
I've burned down
a couple of houses. Don't have a good track record
to be honest.
I haven't killed anyone
in a long time.
That wouldn't work though. They'd go, oh, we don't need a good
electrician. We need a free electrician.
We just need a freebie.
Thanks, Matt. Have a good one.
See you, Maddie.
Let's get classical.
It's me and Bree versus producer Ella
guessing classical songs as quickly as we can.
You ready for a good fight, Ella?
She doesn't even have her
headphones on. Sorry, we're laughing about the idea
of you DJing.
We want to hire you and tell you it's a big event,
but it's just going to be us in a living room.
No, no, you're going to pay me.
If you're my friends, you've got to pay me.
No, but you should offer not-
What if we're not your friends?
We don't have to pay?
Yeah.
Okay, good.
We're loophole.
DJ free.
Okay, good.
Guys, we've got songs to guess.
Fine, let's go.
What are the rules, Producer Claude?
So, the rules are these are pop songs turned classical.
You guys need to buzz in with your name and tell me the artist and the name of the song.
All right.
You need to get in quick.
Are we ready?
Vroom, vroom.
Vroom, vroom.
Let's go.
Vroom, vroom, vroom, vroom, vroom, vroom.
Ella. Ella.
Ella.
Shaboosie.
I've got it.
I've got it too.
And the name of the song?
Whiskey.
Shaboosie, a bar song. Never.
I hate when that happens to me.
I also would have accepted tipsy as the alternate name.
Oh, yeah.
Brackets, right?
Yeah, Tipsy, Brackets, a bar song.
It's quite nice in classical form.
It's quite nice, eh?
Yeah, that's going to go on my playlist.
It's quite nice with just the music, actually.
You can beatbox over this.
Go on, then.
That is not beatboxing.
That's you just talking and not beatboxing.
Okay, one point for Team Bree and Clint.
Here is another song.
Great.
Yeah.
That is...
I've got it if you don't have it.
You know it. Lizzo. I've got it if you don't have it. You know it.
Lizzo.
I've put the song in for you, Brie.
You've got to get it.
About Damn Time.
Detroit.
It sounds kind of the same, eh?
It sounded exactly the same.
Could you hear it straight away?
All right.
As the what?
The music. Oh, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
I could tell that was an easy one.
Should we do third just for fun? Yeah, why not?
Ella!
Ella?
Did she say Ella or did she just scream? I just screamed. Oh, never mind. Ella. Ella.
Did she say Ella or did she just scream? I just screamed.
Oh, never mind.
Brie.
Post Malone Circles.
Yes, son!
Georgia.
We pulled off the downtrow this week.
You've got KFC chicken dollars coming your way.
Brie did the downtrow.
Daymiff it, day Breed it. Breed it. Team effort.
Team effort.
We.
I secretly mouthed one of the answers to her.
It wasn't very secret.
We'll get that KFC out to you, Georgia.
Well done, mate.
Thank you.
No worries.
Bree and Clint.
I want to talk about the sibling wealth gap.
Have you guys heard of this, Clint, producers?
No, not until you
mentioned it today. I'd never heard of this either, but here's a situation which kind of is an example
of the sibling wealth gap. So this person says, I'm a better saver, which means my sister expects
me to contribute more with family things. It's not like I earn more. She just chose to spend her money on things while I chose to save.
That is one example of sibling wealth gap.
Essentially, they say it is the differences in financial resources,
income or savings between siblings.
So that can be like one sibling is really good at saving
and the other one doesn't, spends all their money.
But then the other one that's expected, that saves heaps,
is expected to, you know, chip in more.
Yeah, yeah.
And then obviously there's the other one,
which is a sibling earns way more than their brother or sister.
Oh, they just are, they just are wealthier.
Yeah, so it can cover a few different things.
But they reckon that it can be the source of a lot of friction
between siblings and quite a lot of drama within families.
Definitely.
And you know where I reckon this comes in,
that would cause friction and drama?
If you had a situation where there's siblings and let's say one sibling's
a great saver and the other sibling, terrible saver,
and then the parents are always helping the sibling.
Topping up the terrible one, yeah.
The one that just can't save.
And then you've got the other sibling who's like,
well, I'm just a great saver, but why are you always bailing
the other one out?
Yeah.
You know?
But here's where you can take solace.
If you are the one who's never getting bailed out, your parents love you more.
Because you're more responsible.
You're not costing them so much money.
And you're not a burden.
You're not a burden.
You're not a liability.
Is it always that way, though?
They'll never tell you this, but they like you more.
They might not love you more, but they definitely like you more.
You reckon? I reckon.
Don't you?
Yeah.
After a point is what I mean.
You just see those situations though.
Everybody needs help from time to time.
But of course if one of the siblings is just
a straight up leech
and the rest of you
are like standing on your own two feet.
But you know those situations though where, let's say for just example,
let's say it's the baby brother.
Yeah.
That is the leech.
And the parents just adore him.
There is situations like that where he is the favourite
and he's the biggest no-hope leech.
But is he a leech because he's the favourite? I feel like he's the biggest no-hope a leech. But is he a leech
because he's the favourite? I feel like that's different
to someone who is a leech because they're
useless, you know?
Sometimes they're just useless.
But your sibling has realised
their place in the hierarchy. They've gone,
oh my God, I am golden
balls. I can do whatever I want.
I hate that person even more than...
I know, I know, but if it was you, like... Yeah, but I'm just not like that as a person whatever I want. I hate that person even more than... I know, I know. But if it was you, like...
Yeah, but I'm just not like that as a person.
I know, I know.
So it's hard.
But anyway, if you're wondering what that's called...
The sibling wealth gap is definitely real.
Definitely a real thing.
And I wonder if it comes out in different ways too,
like when a family member passes
and there's inheritance to be had,
if the sibling wealth gap comes into it
and one of the siblings goes,
well, actually, you already own your own house,
so I should get more money than you because...
And this is where families get broken up, you know?
Like, what are your thoughts?
One last question before we wrap it up.
Let's say the parents have passed away, they've left their will,
and let's say there's five siblings.
And there's obviously all different levels within that sibling group.
There's one super rich one.
Yeah.
And then the other four are about the same.
Yeah.
Do you think in the will the inheritance should be split
completely evenly?
If that's what the parents said, then yes.
Yeah.
Yeah, same.
Yeah.
But there would be those
other siblings that would go, oh, well, why does
bloody Gary get... You don't need
20 grand from mum, you're already
rich. Yeah, why don't you give it to us?
You know,
that would happen. Yeah, totally.
That's why you've got to get a will.
And you've got to get someone who manages the
will. You know, a person that's on
the outside.
Oh, no, no.
Select the most responsible sibling to manage the will as well.
Hell no.
Yes.
Hell no.
That's because it's going to be you.
Brianne Clint.
We're going to do a single sound exit.
Brianne Clint.
The comedian Kathy Griffin has started posting videos on her TikTok trying to create some buzz on her social media.
So she's been sharing stories.
And one of the stories she shared is that she used to date comedian Jack Black.
I didn't realise that.
I didn't realise this either.
It was in the 1990s, and the thing that she shared about their relationship was this particular story about some of Jack Black's questionable hygiene behaviors.
Take a listen.
This is a picture of me and my then boyfriend, Jack Black.
He used to have this apartment in Vermont.
So one night, I spent the night there, and the next day, I'm in the shower.
I get off on the bath mat and I said, I need
a shower towel. And he goes, you're standing on it.
He had one
bath mat slash towel
that he used for both and that was it.
Nah.
Nah, Jack. That's
illegal. Nah, take that back, Jack.
Jack.
Jack.
Get on the door, Jack.
So not only did he have one bath mat slash towel.
It was one and the same.
But it was also for guests.
Yeah, it's just one size fits all.
One towel for him to stand on when he got out of the showers
and then to dry his back sack in Jack Black
and then one for guests as well.
Disgusting. Disgusting.
Disgusting.
Like, do you know, there's not many places that are grosser
than the bathroom floor.
What do you think the grossest towel is in the house?
Is it the bath mat?
The tea towel or the hand towel?
Tea towel.
Tea towel?
Tea towel.
Disgusting.
You've got stinky tea towels, eh?
I do not.
I think you do.
I have childhood trauma.
From stinky tea towels.
From stinky tea towels because my mum never used to wash them.
And the stinkiness that it leaves on your hands.
My partner is incredible.
We'll wash our tea towels maybe every three days.
Oh, yeah.
So we never have stinky tea towels.
I don't know that because I don't touch them.
Oh, you won't even touch a tea towel?
No.
The trauma is so bad.
Tea towel trauma.
It's lasting trauma, so I can't touch the tea towels anymore.
Claude, what's the grossest towel in the house?
Oh, there.
Hello.
What's the grossest towel?
It depends.
In my flat, it's the flatmate's towel in the bathroom,
which has been there the entire time I've lived there.
But on a normal day, definitely a tea towel.
You've never seen it washed.
Okay. Tea towel. Okay. Yeah. Tea towel. I know on a normal day, definitely a tea towel. You've never seen it washed.
Tea towel, okay.
Yeah, tea towel.
Ella, grossest towel?
Tea towel.
Tea towel.
Yeah, in my household, we use that.
And I have trauma as well, Brie.
Yeah.
They use it as the dish rag as well.
I'm like, who knows what's on there?
Yeah, just can we not?
I want a nice drawer full of lovely, clean linen towels.
Tea towels. It's the towel that smells the worst the fastest.
Yep.
That's bath mat towel for me.
What are you doing on the bath mat?
No, I just don't like it down there.
Are you putting it on the bath mat?
Do you pick it up at the end of your shower and dry it off?
Are you picking it up and putting it?
Yeah, absolutely.
Absolutely.
Don't bring my towel hygiene into question.
I smell people's towels.
Remember?
Yeah.
Because I've got towel trauma.
Sniff your towel at your house.
Yeah, where did I go?
It was one of your guys' houses and the towel was a bit whiffy.
You haven't been to my house, I'm safe.
Nah, wasn't it?
It was a ZM person's house, wasn't it?
The towel was a little bit whiffy.
Not saying that we can't have whiffy towels.
Yeah.
But I wasn't wiping my hands on it.
Would you rather?
Someone said, Jack Black doesn't have a towel on the rack to dry his back sack and crack.
We want you to dob in your ex this afternoon and the gross thing that they used to do when you were together.
Yeah.
What was the thing that your ex did where you just were like,
that is disgusting.
Disgusting.
It might not have been the thing that broke you guys up,
but it still also may have been.
But you're allowed to put it out into the open now because it's your ex.
Yeah, they're your ex.
Kathy Griffin can roast Jack Black.
You can roast that guy that you used to live with.
0800 dials at him.
Or you can text it to 9696.
We can keep you anonymous.
We can keep names out of it.
But we just want to know the gross thing that you used to do.
People are already texting through this one.
My partner uses cotton buds to get gunk out of her belly button
and then leaves them around the house
and they absolutely stink around the house.
Why are you leaving them around the house?
Like a disgusting
treasure hunt. Okay, lines are open.
0800 M, text 9696.
Bree and Clint.
A little bit of a warning before we get
into these. It's a bit of
a stomach turner. It is. If you've got an
uneasy stomach, then
maybe. If you're on your way to a nice
restaurant. But then maybe, you know,
take a break from us for three minutes
and then come back and then we'll do birthday banger.
But we're talking about the grossest thing that your partner
or ex-partner, actually just ex-partners.
Exes.
We're leaving partners off the hook for this one.
Yeah, you can dob in your ex.
What's the gross thing your ex used to do?
Amy's up first.
Hi, Amy.
Hi, Amy.
How you going?
Good, thank you, mate. You want to dob in your ex used to do. Amy's up first. Hi, Amy. Hi, Amy. How you going? Good, thank you, mate.
You want to dob in your ex for doing something gross?
Oh, my gosh.
This guy was just gross.
What did he do?
So, basically, I went on a holiday for a month
and had cleaned the whole house before I left
and I'd put a load of towels in the washing machine
and all he had to do was put them in the dryer.
Okay. And I get back from my holiday after a whole month
same towels were in the
dryer, in the washing machine
he hadn't dried them so they were like
yuck, like you know
disgusting damp. Yeah.
Yeah, and the
guy had also like used
a single dish in the house and he
had been buying paper plates instead of washing the dishes.
Are you serious?
The grossest thing about the towel bit is he clearly hasn't done any washing.
He's used the same towel for a month.
For a month.
A month, yeah.
He's worn the same undies, the same t-shirts for a month while you were gone.
Yeah, yeah.
Just checking that you were his girlfriend and not his mum, Amy.
Oh, I feel like I was his mum at the time, but no.
You live and you learn.
Obviously, you got emancipated.
This text, we need to read out a few of these texts.
We're asking about the grossest thing that your ex did
and someone texted her and said, two words,
booger ball.
So yuck.
Someone else said,
my ex
would wee in bottles and leave
them in drawers. It was a deal
breaker for me. Yeah, no, that's a
deal breaker. That is an absolute
deal breaker. When you're that lazy
that you have to wee into a bottle
and then you put it into a drawer.
Yeah, the divorce lawyer is going to side with you on that one, I think.
What in the world?
Someone else said, they said,
blowing his nose in the shower and leaving all the snot on the shower walls.
I think that was you.
Wasn't it anonymous?
It was.
It was me.
And there was something else that that person was doing too.
Oh, this is the best, I think.
He had a toupee and he, every Sunday, would sit there and pick off all of the little dried up bits of glue
that would lift up around the edges and then ask me to glue it back on.
Oh, Anonymous, I feel bad for him, though.
No, don't.
It was awful.
See, it was the toupee combined with the snotty booger wall, you know?
The snotty booger wall.
Yeah, yeah.
Like, Anonymous, if he had kept a clean shower wall
and just asked for the odd bit of maintenance with his toupee,
you might not have been so grossed out, right?
No, not at all.
How long were you together for, Anonymous?
We were married for a couple of years, actually.
Wow.
Oh, wow.
Okay.
I was committed for a short time.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And now you're free.
Now I'm free.
To shower in a non-snotty shower
Like a toupee flapping in the wind
You are free
Do you ever feel
Like a toupee
It's not funny though is it
It's serious
My ex would wipe his backside with his shower towel
I hope it wasn't a white towel.
I hope you had very different places for keeping your towels.
I think that has absolutely taken the cake for me.
Anonymous, hi.
Hello?
Hello.
Anonymous, it can't be worse than that.
Well, the first message I sent in was my ex didn't really like washing and bathing.
How long would he go without a shower or a bath?
Two or three weeks.
Wow.
Yeah, okay.
He preferred baths.
Yeah.
And so the water would end up like a disgusting, like, scungy grey.
Oh.
Yeah, because it's two or three weeks of filth that's being washed off him.
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
And it needed assistance from me to do it in the first place.
Okay.
But I sent him another message and he refused to wash dishes.
Okay.
Okay.
And so at one point I got so sick of it
that I left it
to see how long
it would take him
to notice that there was
dirty space
and no clean plates
or anything.
And how long?
Probably three weeks
of me cleaning enough
for my meals.
Wow.
Did you live in a house
with dirty dishes
on the bench
for three weeks
just to prove a point?
Yep.
Did you get maggots from that?
Or, like, you know, lots of flies?
Yeah.
Yep.
Oh, that's rough.
I'm guessing that one didn't work out anonymous, that relationship.
No, but it was an unfortunately long time before I came to my senses.
Yeah.
It's hard to realise when you're in the haze, you know?
What about this one here?
They said, my ex wouldn't wash his hands after doing a poop,
and he would bite his nails.
Made me physically sick.
Oh, that makes me feel ill.
That is rough, eh?
Claudia, you can just announce this.
Are we being prudish here?
Like, are we being a bit over the top?
We're not, eh?
No, I don't think so.
It's pretty grim.
These are the grim of the grim.
What about this one?
My ex never had a duvet cover and the only sheet he had was the bottom fitted sheet.
So his duvet touched him every night and was never washed.
Imagine the skin cells and gunk on that duvet cover.
My ex didn't wash their sheets for eight months.
Oh.
I mean,
that's got to be
some kind of a record.
That's kind of impressive
to be honest.
They would have been stiff
by the end of that.
And we asked,
the question was,
what's the gross thing
your ex used to do?
Someone texted in and said,
exist.
So.
Oh.
Come on.
A bit rough.
Bree and Clint.
Bree and Clint.
All I want for my birthday is a birthday banger. Let's do it. Your birthday bangers It's a bit rough.
Let's do it.
Your birthday bangers for Tuesday.

Hi, Lee.
G'day, Lee.
Hey, gorgeous people.
How are you?
Hello, Lee.
I'm actually awesome on this wonderful Tuesday.
Oh, my gosh.
Why so good, Lee?
Oh, it's been a day off, just cruising and, yeah, enjoying it.
And you just sound like a glass half full kind of person.
Most of the time.
Most of the time.
Do you have a half full glass of wine in hand at the moment, Lee?
Not yet.
Not yet?
Well, we give you permission. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. wine in hand at the moment, Lee? Not yet. Not yet? It's on the way. Well, we give you permission.

What is your date of birth, Lee?
Let's do your birthday banger.
Oh, here's a Gen X-er for you.
So I'm the 30th of the 6th of 1973.
We love that, Lee.
That means you were 16 in 1989.
We've done our calculations and here's your birthday banger.
Rock set.
Rock set.
The look.
I feel like it suits you, Lee.
It's awesome.
You sound cool.
Hey.
Like you'd kick the door in to a cool dive bar or something.
Yeah, have you got a leather jacket, Lee?
Yeah.
I actually do.
Yeah, you do.
I get the picture at eight.
You roll in on your Harley.
Okay, wait there.
We're going to do Taylor's birthday banger.
Hi, Taylor.
Hi, Taylor.
Hey, guys.
How's your day been going, Taylor?
You know what?
It's been a good one.
It's been a good one.
The kids are happy.
Everyone's happy.
It's going well.
Oh, lovely to hear, Taylor. Well's happy. It's going well. Nice.
Lovely to hear, Taylor.
Well, we're glad you're here with us.
What is your date of birth?
23rd of May, 92.
All right, that means you were 16 in the year 2008.
We've done our calculations, and this was number one.
They call me hell.
They call me Stacey.
They call me her.
They call me Jane.
The Ting Tings.
Oh, my goodness.
That's not my name.
Very short-lived act, The Ting Tings,
but this was a huge song at the time.
Do you remember it, Taylor?
Yeah, I actually sung that song, oh, my gosh,
at a fashion show.
I was like, what?
I know, it's so embarrassing.
Are you a singer, Taylor?
I can't believe that was number one.
I'm really not.
It's hilarious that I got up on vacation today.
What are the chances?
That's your birthday banger.
I love it.
Okay.
Wait there.
Wait there.
We're going to do Emma's birthday banger because it's Emma's birthday today.
Happy birthday, Emma.
Thank you.
How old are you turning today?
I am 28 today.
Oh, it's a good year.
27, 28.
27, 28, 29.
All good years.
Live it up now, Emma.
And then it's all downhill from there, Emma.
What are you doing tonight for your birthday?
Well, I've actually just pulled into my driveway at home.
I've been at work today,
and then I am downstairs with the nails at my landlord tonight.
Oh, okay.
Okay.
There you go.
Well, let's do your birthday banger.
I can do the math.
You were 16 in 2013, Emma,
and on today's date in 2013, this was number one.
You are now, now, rockin' wet. Well, I am in... Emma. on today's date in 2013. This was number one.
Emma.
Tune.
Oh, it's a bit of a bop.
What do you reckon, Emma?
Are you into it?
Pretty, pretty good, yeah.
Pretty bloody good.
Okay, wait there.
They're all good.
I like them all for different reasons.
For me, it goes to Emma by sheer fact that it's her birthday today.
That's the bit that tips the scales for me.
Yeah, I loved everyone today.
Yeah. And I'm a fan of all the songs.
Got to go with Birthday Girl, Emma.
You're going to go with Emma?
Yeah.
Happy birthday, Emma.
You behave tonight, all right?
Yeah, you have fun with your landlord.
You behave. I have got a lot, you have fun with your landlord. You behave.
I have got a lot of cake.
I was spoiled rotten at work.
You eat all the cake you want, girl.
When you have this in the club, you're going to check to make up.
Bree and Clint.
Emma.
Number one today in 2013.
That's Emma's birthday banger from Will.i.am and Britney Spears,
Scream and Shout, beating out the Ting Tings and Rock Set.
A lot of bangers.
A lot of bangers.
Birthday banger today.
Yeah, it was good.
Would have liked all three, but Will.i.am takes it out.
Bree and Clint.
It's Tuesday, so it means it's time to go searching for a name.
Name in a haystack.
Random business, random name.
If the person with that name answers today, they're going to win $600.
But more importantly, we will create a radio miracle.
If we get this, whenever it may be, this has to win the radio award.
I was going to say, surely then we've done enough to win a radio award.
There's an award in radio called the Blackie,
which is the award for the best moment on radio for that year.
And if we get this, I'm telling you we're winning that award.
But every week it doesn't go.
It makes the day it finally does go that much sweeter.
Doesn't mean I don't want it to go today. Oh, you need it to build. You need it to build. But we're winning that award. But every week it doesn't go. It makes the day it finally does go that much sweeter. Doesn't mean I don't want it to go today.
Oh, you need it to build.
You need it to build.
But we're going to try.
We're going to try every week.
Claudia, are you picking our business or our name this week?
I will do the name.
Oh, okay.
I feel like the name is always the hardest part.
And they're always not what you expect.
But I'm going to go just straight down the middle and go for a really basic name.
We're going for Bill.
Bill.
Bill.
Are you serious? When was the last and go for a really basic name. We're going for Bill. Bill. Are you serious?
When was the last time
you met a Bill?
Maybe Bill just doesn't run in my circle. I've got a
friend called Bill. I could have a friend called Bill.
I don't have one friend named Bill
nor have I met someone or thought
about someone with the name Bill. What about Bill Clinton?
When was the last time you
thought about him? What have you got against Bills?
If a Billy picked out, would you take a Billy?
No, you'd take Billy and you'd have to take William as well
as long as they go by Bill sometimes.
If we get this, I'm going to give you $1,000.
That's how confident I am that we're not getting it because of that name.
Ella, where does Bill work?
Four Square in Vicargill.
I quite like it.
I quite like it. I'm now a little bit
nervous. Alright, Claudia, when you
are ready, please connect
us to a four square
in the cargo. Surely not.
Four hours or hold for the next
available team member. We will hold.
We'll hold specifically for Bill.
We've come this far.
Oh, here we go. It's ringing.
Surely not.
What's the time in Invercargill?
It's a great question.
Hello, Newfield, Port Square.
Mitski speaking.
Oh, hi.
Sorry, who are we speaking with?
Mitski. Mitski. Oh, hi, Mitski. Hi. Mitski speaking. Oh, hi. Sorry, who were we speaking with? Mitski.
Mitski.
Oh, hi, Mitski.
Hi, Mitski.
It's Bree and Clint calling from ZDM radio station.
We were hoping that Bill was going to answer the phone.
Bill.
Yeah, Bill.
Is there a Bill that works there?
No, we don't have Bill here, unfortunately.
Bugger.
Oh, no.
Oh, well. Well have Bill here, unfortunately. Bugger. Oh, no. Oh, well.
Well, thanks for trying anyway.
We appreciate your time.
Okay.
Thank you.
Have a good one.
Thanks, Mitski.
Good to talk to you.
See you, mate.
See you.
She was lovely.
Had absolutely no idea who we were or why we were ringing,
but she was still lovely.
Not even close.
Yeah, sorry.
Maybe I went a bit far.
Bill. Bill.
Bill.
Why?
It's Claudia who screwed us this week, not Ella.
Yeah, Claudia really, really screwed us this week, didn't she?
Bill.
Anyway.
Anyway, back to the drawing board.
I was trying to be optimistic.
I do know a Bill.
But even then, I'm like, bro, it's weird that your name's Bill.
And how old is Bill?
Right.
ZM's Brad Clint. On Insta, Facebook, TikTok, and live weekdays from 3 on ZM. It's weird that your name's Bill. And how old is Bill?
