The ZM Podcast Network Hello everybody and welcome to the Bree and Clint Podcast. I did something fun after work yesterday. And by fun, I'm using those rabbit ear quotation mark things. Is it your version of fun? No, well yes. But it's also a lockdown version of fun. Is it doing something with the soil in your backyard?

No, I've already soiled my garden. Thank you very much. And your pants. No, yesterday I went to the car wash and washed my car by hand. You meant to play the sting there. Oh, have we got a car wash thing? Oh, that sounds awesome. Tell us more.

That's so fun. This is what life has become in lockdown. That is something fun. That is like the most fun thing you can do. There's definitely a lot more fun stuff. I think there's more fun stuff you can do. I would disagree. I got that.

I filled up some eskies slash chili bins for the Kiwi audience and went down to the local tennis courts and played some rounds of tennis and just got real drunk. Yeah, well, I'm not going to do that. It's 7 o'clock on a Wednesday night, am I? You could. No. I agree with Bree.

There's lights. Get weird in a park. Get weird in a park. How good's getting weird in a park? The parks of Auckland were not ready for me. Slip and slide in a park? Oh, yeah. Well, that's more of a backyard type vibe.

But what if you don't have a big enough backyard? Go to a park. Yeah, yeah. My rig isn't quite ready for public. Wear a rashie. I'm wearing a rashie this summer. You know where a rashie would go good? At the car wash.

Here and there, you've got that water blaster thingy and the foamy brush and you just... We should do that sometimes. Brand for a car wash.

Coin operated car wash, I'm telling you. Think of anything whereas I hate washing cars. So do I, that's why I went to a car wash to do it.

No, but you went to a hand washing one. Yeah, those ones... That's the same as washing it at home. Those driving ones don't do a good job. It's the same as washing it at home. Those driving ones don't do a good job. It's the same as washing it at home.

Nah. It is. Nah, because there's no clean up. Um, yeah. What? There's no clean up at home? And they have a high power washer? Yeah, they've got a...

Nah. Why do you have one of those at home? Yeah, but I have to set it up and pack it away. Just saying. If you're looking for an exciting experience, not you, Anastasia, because you don't have a car. Hey, I could wash a bus sometime Wash the bus?

I could wash My future boyfriend's car You could wash your bike Oh my bike does need a clean How is the bike going? You came in gung ho Yeah When you got that road cycle

Yeah the bike hasn't been Well no it's an old It's my old bike From back in the day Like biking to school Oh I thought it was a brand new one I find bike riding scary on the road. Shit yeah. You're taking your life

in your hands. Especially in Auckland. It's like a Dutch thing like you have to own one like it's not. Yeah it's a but if you've been to the Netherlands it's set up for riding a bike. Yeah exactly. Auckland is set up for getting hit by a car. Yeah. So I haven't actually been. I want to get a spin

but yeah. Cycling in Auckland. Nah. to get a spin but yeah, cycling in Auckland, nah. Get a spin attachment for it. Oh, so you can ride it like a spin bike. Yeah. But yeah, Auckland's scary as and especially the issue is in Christchurch where I'm from, it's

flat and then you have the hills. In Auckland it's just like hill flat, hill flat, hill flat. Car, car, car, car, car. And then you've got those two. Good for your bum though. Yeah, but I don't want thick thighs though. Rough on your gooch though. I'm already sort of sorted in that area, which is the issue with cycling.

I have the same issue as you. You and I both have the thunder thighs. Hey, hey, hey. Reframe that, rebrand that please. Powerful thighs. Non-designer legs. Thunder thighs to me is powerful thighs. I call them tree trunks.

Nah, see, I'm not too keen on the tree trunks term. Thunder thighs, don't mind it. I'm like, yeah, powerful. Bit of thunder. Lightning. I just want to. Saddlebag ass, not the best term. No, you've got to rebrand that one.

No, I don't have a saddlebag ass. No, but that's the best way to describe it. I'm not saying anyone else has a saddle, I don't have a saddlebag ass. No, but that's the best way to describe it. I'm not saying anyone else has a saddlebag ass. I have a saddlebag ass. You know what's quite good for cycling, though? Saddlebags. Exactly. So I'm the perfect rider.

I'm built to ride. You are built to ride. I mean, not very aerodynamic, so maybe not speed. You don't need to be. You're a powerhouse. We just said I'm built to ride. I'm built to ride. Not to be rid just said I'm built to ride. I'm built to ride. Not to be ridden.

I'm built to ride. Holy shit. You're the rider, not the ridee. You know what I'm saying. Holy shit. Okay, is today the day? I reckon today's the day. Nah, it's not the day.

Big day for you, Sanky Bella. Hi. Hi. Hello. Yes, it has been a big day, but it's been very fun. You said yesterday you want to give this thing away and that's why we're doing the Blitz.

How have the guesses been today? They've been fine. Everyone's been super lovely and kind and all deserving it, but no one guessed it correctly. Come on, what do you say? Let's make a pact. Let's give it away this afternoon. What do you reckon? Sure, if the first, well, the three people can do it, then yeah. We've got the winner right here. Hi, Latham. Hey, how's it going?

Good, man. Thanks, Latham. You been playing from the start or are you new on board? Oh, sort of halfway through. Halfway through? Okay, cool. This is the secret sound. What's that there, Latham?

For $50,000, thanks to our mates at Neon, what is ZM's secret sound? Is it a medicine ball being slammed on the ground? Oh. I haven't heard that one. Not on our show anyway. They're heavy, aren't they? Are you a gym shark? Nah, definitely not.

You can tell you're not, Ella. I didn't know what it was called. Are you a Jimmy Jimison? Are you a Jim? Go to theison? Are you a Jimbo? Go to the guy. Are you a Jimbo? Muscle. Love the guy.

Do you own a medicine ball, Soundkeeper Ella? Yep, I do. It's my sister's. Okay. It's at the house. Is it in the video? Is it? Have you seen it, Latham?

Yeah, there was a screenshot of it. There you go. Okay. And have you had a look at the clues of it. There you go. Okay. And have you had a look at the clues? Yes. Okay, good. So you've done some research.

That's what I like to hear. Now, what would you do with the $50,000? I'll probably put some of it towards the house and then share the rest maybe. With who? Who would you share it with? Oh, there's a person in particular that I guess planted the seed about the medicine ball and then... Right.

So I was interested in this. What's their cut then, Latham? If they gave you the idea, what's their cut of the 50 grand? Oh, it'd be rude not to do 50-50, wouldn't it? Oh, okay. He's a good man.

Now, do you know this person, or is it somewhere online that you found the guess? No, I know this person. He's a good man. Okay, I was going to say, that's generous. Well, now's the time where I'll tell you. Do you win it? That is not the secret sound.

Nope. Ah, Latham. Ah, Latham. Sorry, Latham. No, he's gone. No, he's gone. Sorry, man. Go have a protein shake and cheer yourself up. Yeah.

Okay, we're blitzing, but we're back to normal now too. That's a three o'clock guest. We've still got a four o'clock and a five o'clock secret sound on the way. Talk to you then, Sound Keeper Ella. See you, Ella. Sweet. There you go. Secret sound blitz Day.

Maybe it will go today if you have the right answer. If you've missed any of the clues, go to ZMSecretSound on Instagram. They're all up there. Next on the show, we'll kick it off with Tradie vs Lady. As per normal, we've got $50. Yes, all thanks to KFC. A thousand times less than the Secret

Sound. But hey, still good. Still good because you get the title of winning tradie versus lady as well. It's also much easier than winning The Secret Sound. So if you want to play that, we need a tradie and a lady on 0800 dial ZM right now. And we'll play after the Kid Leroy and Justin Bieber on ZM Bree and Clint. Bree and Clint. Bree and Clint. Brie and Clint.

Tradies versus ladies. Thank you for the fellow music, Brie. I appreciate it. No worries. You're welcome. Got you back. The scores are really tightening up at the moment. The ladies sitting at 90 wins for the year.

The tradies only out in front with two wins ahead, 92 wins. The ladies could level the scores by the end of the week for the first time in about a month. So let's meet a lady first. She's 24. She's from the Tron and her favourite colour is green. Welcome to the show Jazz. G'day Jazz. How's the vibe in the Tron?

Just, you know. No, I think you said it with that first kind of noise. About the same as the vibe in Auckland, I think. Yeah, about the same here, Jazz. And now the new vibe in parts of Northland. Okay, Jazz, you're taking on our tradie today. Ash is 24 from Blenheim and a vineyard operator.

Ooh la la. Welcome to the show, our lady tradie, Ash. G'day, Ash. What is a vineyard operator? What does that entail? We basically drive tractors and do work on the vineyard, make sure the grapes are all good. Yeah, but do you get to drink a lot of wine?

Absolutely. Yeah, good. Yeah, nice. Good. That's the main selling point, I think. Okay, Ash, your buzzer is tradie. Jazz, your buzzer is lady. Nice and clear on your buzzers if you want to answer the question.

Three correct answers will get you 50 bucks cash from KFC. Good luck. All right, here we go. Question number one. The finale of Celebrity Treasure Island went down last night in epic fashion. Spoiler alert for anyone who hasn't seen it. Get out of here quick. All right, cool.

Chris Parker took out the title winning $100,000 for his charity. What charity was it? Tradie. Yes, Ash. That was Rainbow Youth. It indeed was Rainbow Youth, which they're going to absolutely do amazing work with that money. One to the tradies.

Question number two. Ed Sheeran said trolls ruined his cameo on Game of Thrones with their bad feedback. One of the main characters on Game of Thrones was John who? Oh, Tradies. Yes, Ash. Snow. Snow is correct. John Snow.

Two to the Tradies. Jazz, you need this one here to stop Ash, okay? So quick. All right, here we go. Question number three. You got this. Jojo Siwa has announced her split from girlfriend Kylie Pru. What show made Jojo Siwa famous?

Ash, for the win. Dance Moms. Wow, well done. She's got it. Three from three. 50 bucks going to you, Ash. Nice work. Yay, thank you.

How many bottles of wine will that get you at staff rates? Probably about 25. Let's talk if your parents are still dishing out the money to you. Oh, okay. Because, I mean, you know, we don't know these things. These friends amongst us could be getting so much allowance and we don't even know. Still suckling on the teat even though they're in their 30s. Just all, maybe they've got four siblings

and they're all just lined up on the teats just. Give me some more money, mummy. Having a suckle. Please, give me some more money. But I don't know if anyone would have done what this guy has done because a 41 year old man uh without a job has lost a legal battle to his parents um where he was trying to say they need to pay him maintenance money for the rest of his life well thank god he lost and by maintenance money it's another fancy term for allowance.

It's life maintenance money. Exactly. You would just be so disappointed in yourself as a parent if you had raised someone who took you to court for an allowance in their 40s. Yeah, I know. So apparently the guy has got a good education.

He's a qualified solicitor educated at Oxford, but he hasn't worked since. He can't be a very good solicitor if he lost this lawsuit though. Well, I don't know if he was representing himself, but he probably was because he has no money because he hasn't worked since 2011. Right. He's been living in his parents' apartment that they own in Hyde Park in London. So very fancy.

It's worth around $2 million. Yeah. He said he's also had cash for bills and expenses paid for by his parents for the past however many years. But eventually, after a big family disagreement, the parents said, no, no more. That's it. And then that's what he said.

Fine, I'm going to take you to court. Do you reckon it was on his 41st birthday? They're like, honey, we've decided that when you turn 41, it's time for you to learn to stand on your own two feet. You need to go out into the world, get a job, maybe. What a ball bag. It's a good way to get ridden out of the will, what he's done here.

Like if he was smart, if his parents owned multiple properties, he is going to inherit them anyway in the future. Morbid thought, but that's kind of how it works. Go get yourself a job and look after yourself for a while. Now, if I was the parents, I would make sure I left the money to the dog. I would

do everything I could to make sure he didn't get it because that's just selfish. It's just wild to me that situations like this actually happen. Do you know people in your immediate circle who are still being funded by their parents in some way?

Absolutely. Yeah? Absolutely. Yeah? Yeah. I had a friend and when we were all in our early 20s, I remember she and I went to a private school. But let me just say I couldn't afford to go to a private school. My family couldn't afford to send me there. I was on scholarship. So I was at this private school.

You were an imposter. I was. I literally felt like- So I was at this private school. You were an imposter. I was. I literally felt like- You were there under a fake name. Like all these kids that I went to school with, they'd drive up in their BMWs and their Range Rovers and I'd be like, sweet, I need a new pair of shoes. Anyway, so I remember after school in our early 20s,

she was like, oh, come over to my new place. Like I've just moved into a new place. Yeah. And we'll have a flat warming or whatever. And so me and some of the other girls, we put in the address and it was a very known suburb to me. A suburb and for people who've been to Australia, been to Brisbane, Tenerife in Brisbane.

It's on the water. It's very fancy. It's kind of like the Hearn Bay. Oh, where Lord lives. Kind of like that. Yeah, right. It's very fancy. It's kind of like the Hearn Bay. Oh, where Lord loves. Kind of like that. Yeah, right. Kind of like that. Anyway, so we've rocked up and we get to this place and I'm like,

oh, my God. And it was the biggest, fanciest waterfront villa property I've ever seen. Yeah. And I was like, are you renting here? And she goes, oh, no. She goes, my parents bought this as an investment property for me. And I was like, are you renting here? And she goes, oh no. She goes, my parents bought this as an investment property for me. No!

And I was like. In her 20s. She was, I want to say she was 22. If your parents buy you an investment property, that is next level. But there's one thing for your parents to be paying your rent. It's a whole nother thing for them to buy you the entire. It's easier. We can't be bothered setting up the AP. We'll just buy thing for them to buy you the entire house. It's easier.

We can't be bothered setting up the AP. We'll just buy the bloody house and then you deal with it. Well, she said, she goes, oh, it's an investment for them though. And I was like, how? She goes, oh, well, you know. Gets me off their back. They've put money into it. And then I was like, you're going to have this forever.

I was like, they're never getting this back. She's like, no, I'm not. This is my starter home. But hey, you know, I was very jealous. I'm not going to lie. All of this is rooted in jealousy, but it is good to talk about as well. Let's take some calls from people who are still

being funded by their parents. Can you admit it? Can you come on and say it? What are your parents still funding for you and how old are you? No judgment here. Mostly jealousy. No judgment here. Mostly jealousy. No judgment. All jealousy, no judgment.

Yes. Unless you've got a free investment property, in which case a little bit of... No, wait. Yeah. Just kidding. But we still want to talk to you. Absolutely. But like here, we hate you.

0800 dial ZM or you can text us on 9696. What are your parents still funding? Free and Clint. We want you to come clean. Tell us what are your parents still funding? We want you to come clean. Tell us what are your parents still funding? Are they dishing out an allowance? How much and how old are you? Bit of shame involved with this. We've had

a lot of text messages and very few people willing to pick up the phone on this. Which I get. It's all tinged with judgement but we promise no judgement. Just straight up jealousy that you get free money from your parents. Exactly. That's it. That's what it's about. B will come on though. Hi, B. Hi, guys. Tell us, B.

Come on. You know what this is about. How old are you? I like to say I'm turning five. Right. Multiplied by how many? Five with a zero on the end. Five with a zero on the end. Okay, gotcha. And you have a line of credit at the bank of

mum and dad? Yes, my dad bought a house four or five years ago now and I pay very little on the way of rent. It's definitely not market rent, because Dad was sick of us moving house all the time, and he helped me with the rent, and he lives in Auckland. I live in the Waikato.

Yeah, okay, so let me get it straight. Your dad bought the house, and he owns it, and he gives you discounted rent, but you still pay some rent. Is that right? Yep. Nah, that's different, B. I think that's fine, Bea. That's just Dad doing what he can to help you.

That's just Dad helping out. Yeah. And my mum pays my AA membership every year. Okay, that's different, Bea. You're 50. Come on now. Nah, I know parents like this, Bea, who will pay their kids AA or car insurance

because they know that if they don't, the kid won't get it, and then if they crash the car, the bill is going to come back to the parent anyway. So really that's insurance for them, not insurance for you. In fairness, Bea, my mum paid my one a couple of years ago. Oh, jeez. Okay. Thanks, Bea. We appreciate it.

There's so many texts. I want to go through some of these texts because this one here, someone said, Hey, team, I have never had to pay for fuel in my life and I'm 22. Mum and dad pay for fuel cards for my brother and I. He is 24. Please don't call me. Please don't call me. That would be the ultimate, I reckon. Well, not the ultimate, but one of those really good ones just to know that you could just swipe the card, fill the car up. You would never look at gas prices. I this one someone said i finally took over paying for my medical insurance a couple of years ago i'm 47 yeah that's solid that is solid um someone else said uh i'm 27

and uh my dad is a property developer and he's building me a family home to start us up and he also bought me a new car because he didn't want me having any finance. That's next level. I like the guilt trip of going, Dad, if you don't buy me a car, I'm going to get a car loan. So you should just buy it for me so that I don't get in debt. Ashley's willing to talk to us. Hi, Ash.

Hi, guys. What are you doing, Ash? Are your parents still funding you? Yeah, pretty much. Yeah, I'm living at home and they're funding my life while I try and build a house in Auckland. Oh, right. Okay. No, see, I'm on board with this one. But it's finite, right? They're like, we're just looking after you until you get on your own feet and you get that bloody house in Auckland built.

Is that right? Yeah, pretty much. I mean, I have a good excuse. I did study overseas for a year, but I think it's pushing it at 25. Ash, can I ask, what kind of things do they fund? Like, do they fund, like, if you want to go and do some online shopping or, like, what are they funding? Well, you know, it's kind of like living things

but there's a limit with, you know, I can't just go out and buy random things but, you know, like food and cars. Is it a living allowance? Can I just ask,

is it a cash amount that you get each week? No, no. It's kind of like whatever needs to be paid for. Also, it's unlimited. Within, yeah. Within reason. Also, it's unlimited. Within, yeah, well, yeah, within reason, yeah. Do you feel like you're kind of like a teenager again?

I mean, yeah, it's not what I want to be doing, but when you're trying to build a house at the moment, it's pretty crazy. Absolutely, and I say good for you and awesome that you have parents that are in a situation to be able to help you out. And great parents that they will do it for you. Not every parent, you're right, not every parent can do that. No, no.

And like we said at the start, we're just jealous. We're just jealous. Mum, if you're listening, can you buy me something, please? Bree and Clint. Latest. From iHeartRadio, this is The Latest. Hayley Bieber, knee Baldwin, has admitted marriage struggles with her husband Justin Bieber on a new podcast.

I like that because it keeps it real. Keeps it real. And it makes them appear to be like any normal couple. We all go through struggles. Totally. She's only 24 as well, you've got to remember, and she's married to Justin Bieber. She admitted that at one of her lowest points,

it was her mum who encouraged her to work on her marriage. Here's a little bit from the podcast. I was in it. I made a decision. I know for a fact that I have loved this person for a very long time and now would not be the time to give up on him. I'm not that type of a person.

I was going to stick it out no matter what the outcome was going to be. There was days where I literally was like, I don't know if he's going to be okay. Something like really deep down inside of me was like, he's going to get through it. I just don't know. I didn't know how long it was going to take. It will be bloody hard to be married to Justin Bieber or anyone like Justin Bieber. It would be hard to be married to someone who was that famous. Yeah, absolutely. I watched an episode of Celebrity Big Brother, VIP. Oh, yeah. It's on Freeview at the moment. Yeah.

I think on demand. And just randomly, and there was this ex-AFL player, and he was on there and he was talking about how him and his wife have been together for so long, and he's like, I don't know why or how this woman stayed with me because he had a gambling drug, every alcohol addiction. And he's like, I put her through so much and I just can't imagine what I'd do without her. It's incredible what people endure together and they do come out the other side.

It would make you stronger as a couple. If you stayed in it together as a couple and you worked on it together, it would strengthen you as a couple. Sometimes it also doesn't because you go through all that and you get the other person through it and then you're like, I can't fix our relationship. I resent you now. Well, kind of.

Well, I just need to move on from this now. Totally true as well. But there you go. That's the latest on Hayley Baldwin. It's Blitz Day on The Secret Sound. We've been giving guesses every single hour. Sunky Battle, you must be exhausted. No, it's okay.

I'm doing well. You've had to work for three minutes an hour every hour today. That's crazy. I'm doing well. You've had to work for three minutes an hour every hour today. That's crazy. Big day. Cute. Second to last guest of the day, and it goes to you, Hannah. Congrats. You've made it to air.

Hi, Hannah. Hi. How are you? Good. Is this your first time on air for this season? Yes, it is. Nice work. Well, you're here now, and a great time, I feel like, to get on the air

because a lot of people have done all the hard work and you can just swoop in and take the money. The odds are way more in your favour and the money has jackpotted right up there. That sounds good to me. All right. What do you think the secret sound, this sound right here, for $50,000 is, Hannah?

I think it is a battery clicking into the back of a remote. I like that guess. Can we hear it again? Yep. Yeah, I can hear that. Are you doing that noise in the background there, Hannah? I've tested it out. Go on, do it for us. Okay, wait.

We're going to... Oh, now it's okay. Kind of. A lot of banging. A lot of different noises. A lot of noise, sorry about that. Hey, Sangiba Ella, am I right in saying someone has already guessed clicking the back of a remote on and off, but they didn't guess the battery bit? They have not guessed the battery bit. So you're more than welcome to do that. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, definitely.

Hannah, what would you do with the $50,000? Oh, gosh, it would change everything for me and my partner and my family. Obviously, everyone's struggling with COVID as well, so I'd like to help out wherever I could. It's a lot of money, Hannah, and you could do good things with it. I want Hannah to win. Yeah. Let's throw the rules out the window. Let's give it to her.

If only, but I'll tell you now, Hannah, 50k hectic amount of money. You've gone with a battery clicking into the back of a remote. Hannah? Yes? Hannah yes that is not the secret sound

it hurts my heart saying that it hurts my heart, you were lovely everyone's so nice today I know we're dealing with lockdown and this. How about another clue? How about another clue, Ella? Come on.

Tomorrow at five. Tomorrow at five, as usual. Fair enough. Can we have it at four, just a little bit earlier tomorrow? No. What do you think about it? Don't answer now. Just think about it.

Hey, Hannah, thanks for giving it a go. Try again, okay? Thank you so much, guys. Appreciate it. I thought it was a solid guess from Hannah. One more guess today at five o'clock. If you want it, it's brought you so much, guys. Appreciate it. I thought it was a solid guess from Hannah. One more guest today at 5 o'clock. If you want it, it's brought to you by Neon. You can watch TV series and movies

handpicked for Kiwis by Kiwis on Neon. It's a great streaming platform. I'm deep in succession on Neon at the moment, just charging through season one, and there's like three seasons up there. Yeah, I know. Get involved now. Have you ever slid into someone's DMs?

And you might think that celebrities don't do this, but a story out today from an actress named Kelly Brook. She's an English actress. She's a model. She's done quite a few movies. She said one time she ran into none other than Idris Elba at a bar. Okay. Right?

So she ran into Idris Elba and he didn't know who she was but she 100% knew who he was. Bloody Idris Elba. Big deal. Anyway, she said she was so taken aback like so many women are that she panicked and she decided she would get behind the bar and she just started making him a cocktail. What? Pretended that she worked there.

But she wasn't. She was a guest at the bar. She was a guest at the bar. Man, nerves do funny things to people, eh? Yeah, I know. When you're trying to impress someone, like this weird part of your brain takes over and you will do the strangest things.

Weird, eh? How did she think that was going to go well? Because he wouldn't see her as a potential date then. He'd see her as the bartender. I know, I know. But hey, I love a hot bartender. Why not? They make a good stiff drink.

Bring it on over. Yeah, okay. Maybe that was her plan. Get him drunk enough. Well, she said anyway, made this drink. She had no bar experience, so didn't know what she was doing. Yeah.

And she said she had quite a few drinks herself and she got back to her hotel room and she said, you know what, I might just go on to Twitter, send him a message, slide into his DMs. Anyway, she said, this is what she said, I think I did say something. She said, oh, hi, I was the person that made your cocktail last night. Okay.

Good start. I'm battling with a hangover. Anyway, his response was, don't worry about it. The cocktail was pretty average, actually. But it was nice to meet you, by the way. That's good banter. She's engaged him there. Yeah, yeah.

Because he didn't have to reply at all. Like we said before, he's Idris Elba. Exactly, exactly. Anyway, she replied with the same kind of thing. Nice to meet you, blah, blah, blah. I'm going to go nurse this hangover. And he just replied with, ha, ha, have a bit of a lie in. And then she's never heard from him again.

Yeah, he didn't leave it open-ended there. No. He wasn't like, oh, tell me more about. She said, I got the message, he shut me down and that was it. I'm just Googling here because do you know if Idris Elba is married? I don't know, actually. I've just Googled it. No, he is.

He is currently, well, he is married. You don't say he's currently married. No, no, no. My point is he's been married three times. He was married in 1999 until 2003. He was married in 2006 until 2006

and he was married again in 2019. Yeah. So I would have been in that, if it's Twitter she would have been doing it in that window between 06 and 19. Yeah I think she said it was like in 2011, I think. When they were both single because she's now married as well.

Oh, okay. Yeah. Have you ever done that? Have you ever like met someone on a night out and then thought, oh, I'm going to slide into their DMs? I'm trying to think because the most high profile DMs I would have had reason to slide into would have been after like an interview,

like after a radio interview. True. So I'm trying to think if I slid into Katy Perry's DMs after the meet and greet where I couldn't speak. Were DMs around back then? That was a while ago. Hey, yes. That picture's on my Instagram.

Instagram didn't have messages back then. That's how old it is. And the other one's Rita Ora. And I don't think I did have Instagram back then. That's how old it is. And the other one's Rita Ora and I don't think I did have Instagram back then. I realised and this is the most awkward story ever. I regret it so much. You know the girl that is currently the bachelorette in Australia? Yes. From Nick Cummins' Honey Badger season. Yeah, Brooke

Blurton. She's currently the Bachelorette. And a few years ago, this would probably be quite a long time ago actually, I was watching something with her on it and I'd had a few drinks and I think I'd had quite a lot of drinks and I was so embarrassing and I was watching something with her on and i was like oh yeah she's a bit of all right and i was like i'm gonna send her a message this pre or post bachelor this is after she'd been on the batch after she'd been right okay yeah yeah yeah okay after she'd been on the bachelor and i was like you know i'm gonna shoot your shot baby i'm gonna send her a

message you miss a hundred percent of the shots you don't take. Anyway, sent her a message. It was like a flirty message. Yeah. No, not seen. So, no, no, no. I don't think it was even seen. So, I just, you know what, I actually completely forgot about it

because I was actually, I had a few lemonades. Yeah. Anyway, and this is no bullshit about a year later yeah i look at my phone and i've realized she's sent me a message oh okay and i was like oh no good result she had replied to one of my instagram stories yeah and she had said oh my, this is so funny. How have I not followed you sooner? And that's when I looked up and I'd seen my message from a year before that and nearly died of embarrassment. Do you know if she'd seen it?

Of course she'd seen it. No, no, no. If she'd replied directly from Instagram story in that little chat box at the bottom, she might not have gone into the message and seen it. So if you never reply to that message, she might never open it and never see

the original flirty message. Oh, well, I replied. She's seen it. Right. Well, I tried to help you, so. Oh, well. Yeah, yeah.

All good, mate. It's all good. Anyway. You didn't want to be on The Bachelorette anyway. Just stay away from your phone when you're drinking, okay? That's my advice. I want to ask you though, on

0800 dial ZM, I'll show you the messages, it's so bad. Ladies and gentlemen, the high drama, high tension finale went down last night and we can now officially welcome to the show your Celebrity Treasure Island 2021 champion, Chris Parker. Here he is. The Parker Rangers are out in force today saying, we told you so, he could do it. How's it all been today, Chris?

You know what is so funny? The day one of the show airing, we did that interview. And Clint, you were like, I'm pretty sure, Chris, you're the winner of Celebrity Treasure Island. It's like a funny little bit for radio. I did say that. I remember. You called it right up top.

And I remember my heart sunk because I was like, oh, my gosh. Yeah, right. And then you and I messaged each other straight afterwards. And you were like, you didn't tell him, did you? I was like, no. I was like, he's just being an idiot. He doesn't know anything. And you were like, okay, good.

Thank God. Oh, my God. Yeah, I mean, it's been such a hard secret to hold on to this whole time. And, you know, I thought I'd bloody come out of the closet, you know. I thought I was done with secrets. I want to know, Chris, though, because obviously you had to keep this huge secret. Who did you tell? Okay, great question. I told

Brimley, obviously. Obviously. I came home and just let rip. I told Michael, my partner, and my parents. That was it. You reckon you can trust your parents? Yeah, I don't think they told anyone. You don't reckon they'd have a brag

down at the local shops and they're like, hey, I'll let you in on a little secret My son wins Celebrity Trip to Ireland No I remember saying to mum This one is like you cannot brag At all I'll be like promise She's pretty to go with the secrets

I was that good you know Well now that it's all out there in the open Chris I've got a really important question for you And I've been dying to get a scoop on this. Where can I get those leopard print bike shorts that you wore on the final episode? I mean, my ones will, I need to burn, obviously.

Burn into a rainbow confetti. Yeah. But they're actually cotton on. Actually, it's huge to give a massive plug to cotton on in the ZM show today. Well, it's important. You're a style icon now after that victory, so that's good to know. Were they yours or were they one of the other contestants?

Because I know you stole our green shorts at one point. I did. They were always mine. I was like, if I'm going to do this show, I want to do it in leopard print, hot pants. That just feels true to me. With a moose knuckle to do this show, I want to do it in leopard print, hot pants. That just feels true to me. With a moose knuckle. That's the way I want to go out.

Look out world, here I come. On a serious note, Chris, you managed to win $100,000 for Rainbow Youth, your charity, an incredible charity. Do you know, have they been in contact with you and do you know specifically what they will be able to do with that $100,000 cash injection?

It's so massive. So I had a Zoom with them earlier today because it's so weird. You know, there's so much admin with, like, signing up your charity and stuff, and you kind of lose the kind of human connection through it all. And I was like, I just want to be there and celebrate with all of them. So we had a big old Zoom catch-up, and they're an amazing charity that works across so many levels. You know, on one level, they're just like on this kind of whānau level. You know, if there's

a queer member in any family who might be struggling with kind of coming to understand how to deal with that person in their family or how to embrace them, Rainbow Youth are right there and education resources to help them embrace that family member. They've got these amazing drop-in centres around

the country, obviously COVID dependent, but if there is queers who are out there listening who don't know where to turn, you could go into one of these centres and be in a safe space. Just stuff like trying on a dress for the first time or wanting to put on makeup. Begin to explore your gender expression.

You could do it in one of these Rainbow Youth centres rather than have to feel uncomfortable in a retail environment. Yeah. So, I mean... Chris, in short, essentially what they're doing is they're saving lives because that's what it comes down to. And people who have been through these situations in their life

literally will know not everyone makes it through. And to have that support and those people are a place to go where you do feel like you have someone literally is saving these kids' lives and I think they do such an amazing job. And thank God you won because Manny McLean didn't win shit for a last season. It's just like such simple stuff. You know, we're currently in Trans Week of Awareness and you know, like, just if you wanted to legally change your name

in this country, it costs $361. Yeah. We all don't, no one, like, we don't all have resource to that money

and imagine your ID, you know, not reflecting who you are, like, how you want to be in this world and, like, that must be so stink

to even think, like, societally, like, it's trying to stop you, you know? Yeah. So the Rainbow Youth

are like, we'll find you that money, we'll cough up Youth are like, we'll find you that money. We'll cough up for that money. We'll help change that name on that ID. So the thing in your wallet is saying who you are. I'm just like, come on. Like, why wouldn't we want to be doing that? It could literally change someone's life, make them feel like, you know,

to finally feel that they are who they are. Well, you did that for them, Chris. Congratulations. You are officially the champion of Celebrity Treasure Island 2021 and the frontrunner for All-Stars season. And we talked to Lance Savali about this. You now officially have inherited a celebrity

boxing match against last year's champion Sam Wallace. I will absolutely not be contending. I will be out of all competition. I'll just be sitting in the box drinking champagne. Well, you've got an option of Sam Wallace or one of the other finalists, Shane Cameron. We'll just be sitting in the box drinking champagne. Well, you've got an option of Sam Wallace or one of the other finalists, Shane Cameron. We'll leave it with you.

You decide who you want to fight, and I can't wait to watch. The official champion of Celebrity Treasure Island, Chris Parker. Thanks, man. Congratulations. See you, Chris. Thanks, Kane. It's time for What's the Plot? Once upon a time, there was a girl. She was smart, debatable, talented, athletic.

Not really. But picking a movie title based on just the plot line, that she can do. Brie and Clint's What's the Plot? Our movie guessing game where today the prize money has jackpotted to $200. It's a bit of money to play for now. It's been as high as like $1,600. Is that what we got up to? Yeah. It's been really high. It goes up and up and up.

But today, Jess, you'll get a shot at $200. Welcome to the show. G'day, Jess. Hi, guys. You know your movies, Jess? Oh, I know a few, yeah. Have you played this before in the car? Oh, you've beat me, Bree.

Oh, that doesn't mean I'll beat you today, though, Jess. It's whoever's best. It's round two. Oh, you've been on air before. I've been on air before, yeah. Oh, this isn't round two, Jess. This is redemption. Redemption round. Okay, how old are you, Jess?

Oh, I'm 33. 33, perfect. We're around the same age. That is relevant because of the movies I have chosen today. But I'm not going to let you know the theme until the end. Makes it too Google-able. And I don't want to cast any aspersions on Jess, but Jess, we've had some Googlers before.

You wouldn't Google, though, would you? Not at all. Not at all. Good stuff. Okay, here we go. They're banned from the segment. Yeah, it's hard to, you've got to accuse them because you can't see them. You have to really come at them. It's uncomfortable

but we believe you Jess. We've got cameras everywhere though Jess. Okay, buzzer is your name. First to two correct movie plots wins the game. Good luck. Movie number one. This live action feature

is inspired by the most successful, interactive video game character in history. Bree. Tomb Raider. Tomb Raider. It could be that. It could be something else. Is she the most successful video game character ever?

The only reason I say it is because I played that game relentlessly when I was a kid. Was Tomb Raider bigger than Halo? It was so big on PC and then they made new versions and then when they re-released the new movie of Tomb Raider it came back out. Plus I wouldn't really do a Halo movie theme would I? It's Tomb Raider

is correct. Got one. Jess. Come on okay, you're on the back four, you can do one. Jess. Come on, okay. You're on the back for it. You can do this. Yeah, let's go. What's your favourite

kind of movie, Jess? I like a bit of action, a bit of comedy. Okay. I like everything. I like everything.

You like everything. Okay. I do, yeah. Let's just chuck it out there and see how we go. Movie number two. This is the story of the largest factory in the world.

Jess. Jess. I know. I'm going to give you three seconds, Jess. No, I don't have it. That's a free guess for Brie. It's going to go a complete guess. Willy Wonka.

Willy Wonka. Incorrect. I'll continue. This is the story of the largest factory in the world. And our hero is one of its top reps. He is huge and intimidating and covered in blue fur. Large purple Brie. Monster Zinc.

Monster Zinc is correct. Dammit, Jess. Sorry, mate. Not this week. You were right there though, weren't you, Jess? Oh, yes. Unlucky, mate. I love that movie. It's so good. The theme today was movies from the year 2001,

by the way. 20-year-old movies. Wow. Hey, Jess, come back for round three. It's on, round three. Third time lucky. You might have it, mate. We can send you home with 50 KFC chicken dollars too. Congratulations.

Excellent. Thank you so much. Nice work. Bree and Clint. Before Gen Z have claimed another victim and cancelled a vegetable. Oh, well, can they just cool it? Because I don't know if they know, but we're going through a pretty hard time at the moment.

No, that doesn't matter. What vegetable is it? The only vegetable I want cancelled is the eggplant. You want eggplant cancelled and you're Italian. That's the weirdest thing. I hate it. Yeah, you need to buck up your ideas, mate. I love every other food, but eggplant, nah.

Eggplant is delicious, but it is not eggplant. Eggplant is not it. We've hired a Gen Z specifically for moments like this before I reveal what it is. Anastasia, are you willing to say the vegetable that you guys have cancelled? No, I'll let you do it. Oh, you want me to say it?

You're not brave enough to say it yourself. Oh, I can if you want me to. No, that's fine. I'm happy to do it. No, I can say it. No, no, no. I'll do it. Okay? I'll let you do it. Oh, you want me to say it? You're not brave enough to say it yourself. Oh, I can if you want me to. No, that's fine. I'm happy to do it. No, I can say it. No, no, no. I'll do it. Okay?

I'll do it. Okay. Okay? The responsible millennial will do it. According to Gen Z, the Brussels sprout is cancelled. Nah, I love Brussels sprouts. So do I. They're delicious.

Yeah, so do I. You fry them up and then you shave a bit of parmesan onto them. Drizzle them with olive oil. Yum. Crack pepper, roast them in the oven. That's so crazy. I didn't realise millennials didn't have taste buds. You've never cooked a day in your life.

Yes, I have. Listen to this. What did you cook last night? What did you have for dinner? Oh, I had pulled pork. Not Brussels sprouts. Did you cook it? Yeah, it was in a slow cooker.

Okay, listen. Despite Brussels sprouts being one of the most popular veggie dishes for older generations, one in four people between the ages of 18 and 24, that's right, the Gen Z hot zone, say they hate them, according to new supermarket research. Get this.

People aged 75 and over are the biggest Brussels sprout advocates. 65% of them love Brussels sprouts Anastasia they love them okay I'm going to say

they love Brussels sprouts have missed the missed the pulse on this one because Brussels sprouts are trendy they're back in really

yeah they've been back in for a while like if you go to any like I went to that fancy as restaurant yeah on um

on Waiheke Island, and they served up this amazing Brussels sprout salad. Yeah. And that's how you know it's trendy. Those kind of trendy restaurants are serving it. Was this a Sunday afternoon-style roast type thing? No, it wasn't a roast. It was on a Saturday.

Oh, okay. And it was at night time. Oh, very heaven trendy. Only 26% of Gen Z's like Brussels sprouts. This is where it gets concerning, Bri, and this is where we've got some work to do. There has been an 11% rise in 18 to 34-year-olds claiming to hate Brussels sprouts year on year.

Grow up, okay? If you're in your 30s and you still say you hate Brussels sprouts, grow up. It's honestly the stigma, and I'm so sick of the stigma that has been attached to Brussels sprouts for years. It's not their fault. They're just trying to do their job.

It's not their fault your mum used to overboil the Brussels sprouts and you had shit Brussels sprouts. You know, my mum overcooked a lot of things, the steak included. But have I got back on the horse? Have you gone on steak? No. Have I tried the steak again? Yes, I have.

And you need to try that with Brussels sprouts. Yeah, Anastasia, I want you to get some Brussels sprouts for dinner tonight. Okay, if I get Brussels sprouts, Bree needs to buy some low-rise jeans and wear a metal part. Mate, I did that back in 2005. I'm not going back there. Bree and Clint. Seven secret sound blitz. Blitz Day and this is the last guest on Blitz Day.

Come in, Blitz Queen soundkeeper Ella. Hello, hello. Hello, hello. Let's go. Last guest of the day. Let's give it away. Where's Gemma at? Come on, Gemma.

Gemma, where are you at? Hello. Well done. You've made it on air with us. That's the hard away. Where's Gemma at? Come on, Gemma. Gemma, where are you at? Hello. Well done. You've made it on air with us. That's the hard bit. Congratulations. Thank you. The hard bit because you have to deal with us.

I know. We're not letting you guess until you give us a... Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Gemma. Hello. Gemma. Hello. Gemma, you do not get a guess until we get a Le-le-le-le-le-le.

That was the most, that was the awkward piece of radio. There it is. Le-le-le-le-le-le. We've done it a while. You didn't help. You didn't Le-le-le-le-le-le at all. Huh? Yes, I did.

No, you didn't. I Le-le-le-le-le-le-le first. Good. That was a test. Gemma, what do you think the secret sound is for $50,000? Okay, my guess would be like a pair of glasses, like flicking open and closed.

Ah, spring-loaded ones. Yeah. Yeah, okay. Could that be the secret sound? Let's find out. Gemma, how confident are you? Not 100%, but I'd take it off the list. Oh, okay.

Do you have other possible guesses that you have in the back of your mind as well? Yeah, we have a few. Me and my sister have been sort of doing it together. Oh, are you teaming up then? Yeah. Okay, so if you won the 50K, would you split it with her? I definitely would. Oh, that's sweet. What else would if you won the 50K, would you split it with her? I definitely would. Oh, that's sweet.

What else would you do with the cash? I'd probably pay off my car, do a bit of shopping. Yeah, sounds good. I have no idea. Maybe something fun. Maybe you could like... Buy a jet ski. Yeah.

Boom. Go on. Yeah, all that. You need the money first, so let's find out if you've got it, Jimma. Jimma. Alrighty. Well, Jimmy doesn't sound confident at all. I don't even think you like your gifts, Jimma.

Do you want to change your guess? Has it been locked in, Soundkeeper Ella? Yeah. No, no, we can change it up if you want to, Jimma. What's your other guess? Nah, we'll lock in the glasses. We'll lock it in. Okay, so you're more confident with this one than you want to, Gemma. What's your other guess? Nah, we'll lock in the glasses. You want to lock it in, okay. So you're more confident with this one than you are with your other guess? Yes.

Okay, fair enough. Back yourself, Gemma. You got through. This is your big moment. You've got as much of a chance as anybody else with sunglasses. And you know what? I don't want you to change it because I would literally kick myself forever if I made you do that. And it was. And it was the right secret sound.

Would I? Well, Gemma, you're locking it in, shutting and opening a pair of sunglasses. And that is not the secret sound. Nope. Should have changed that guess, Gemma. I'm lucky, Gemma. That's all right.

I'll keep trying. All good, mate. Yeah, please. The money's still on the line. The full $50,000 is still up for grabs. Just a normal day tomorrow. Is it Ella, not a blitz? Not a blitz, but we are getting a clue.

And at 4 p.m., you are asking for one now. I'm not going to do that, but what I'll do is I'll tell you what the clue is at 5 p.m. Tomorrow. That doesn't make sense. You're going to tell us what the clue is at 5pm. That's what you're already doing. You'll get it when I tell you. What I'm doing tomorrow at 5pm an extended sound.

Now that makes sense. Tell us what the clue is that you're giving us tomorrow. Can we bargain with you? What do you mean? We would like the extended sound at 3 p.m. so that the 4 and 5 o'clock guesses can have that extended sound in their guess. Because otherwise, you give it to us at 5 o'clock, then we've got to go into the weekend. And no one gets a guess, and it's torment for everyone.

So what do you want from us to give it to us at 3 o'clock? No, I'm not doing that, Clint. No. Come on, there's got to be something you want. No, I just want... Do you want Uber Eats? Do you want... Oh my gosh.

What else can we get her? Do you want... Yeah. Do you want... I'll get Key to main the winner of RuPaul's Drag Race Australia around to do a performance at your house.

Oh, wow. That's something. No, no, no. What I want is to do it at five and then watch everyone online try Simmer over it and try figure it out throughout the weekend.

You want to torture people. It's fun. It's all fun here. All right. Send a call at five o'clock tomorrow. Thank you, Soundkeeper Ella. We'll talk to you then. First guest at 7 a.m. tomorrow for the $50,000 secret sound.

Thanks to Neon. You can get a Kiwi streaming service and great value all on Neon. You watch. She'll cave. She'll give it to us at three. I think Ross Boss is in her ear pressuring her saying she can't. Absolutely he is. And I think she needs to take a stand and do what soundkeeper Ella wants to do.

Let's call Ross Boss tomorrow. Yeah. And try and like, you know, get something moving. We'll get it sorted. Bree and Clint. This is really interesting. There's a woman in New Jersey in America. Hey, I'm walking here.

Who's discovered that she is the daughter of a prolific sperm donor and has dozens of siblings out there and likely more, actually. She always knew she was a sperm donor baby. She has her parents. She has two mums. Her mums are a gay couple. And so they were up front. They said, oh, we got donor sperm to create you.

Well, they probably wouldn't have even had to been up front. Yeah, well. Had to happen somehow. Well, what I mean is they didn't say like you're a doctor or you're from a friend or something. They were like, you're a sperm bank baby. We don't know who your father is. They don't give that information, but we're happy that you're here. Anyway, she did one of those Ancestry.com DNA tests.

Oh, no. Because she wanted to find out her ethnic makeup. Fair enough. She wanted to go. She goes, I'm pretty sure I'm Italian. Anyway, she found out she's not as Italian as she thought she was. What is she? Like a mix of all kinds of things.

A little bit Italian, but all kinds of things. I just want to put it out there first. No good story has ever been posted from someone doing an Ancestry.com DNA test. Yeah, there's been a few bad ones. It's all bad tests. It's always like, I found out I'm related to a serial killer. Yeah, but you know what? This isn't a bad story to me.

To find out you've got a heap of brothers and sisters could actually be, you know, like a nice thing. True. That's true. Yeah. Yep. It's throwing up all kinds of feelings for, anyway, when you do one of those tests, and this is the other thing, you're giving your DNA to a data bank, by the way. Like if you're worried about Facebook stealing your face pictures, you're sending a DNA swab

into a library of, like this company could sell you. Yeah, but I want to be first in line when they start cloning people. Well this is the company that will do it. If you do it and your DNA's on file and then someone that you're related to has done it and their DNA's on file it will connect you and it will go

hey. That's the whole basis of Ancestry.com. Exactly right. So she got a message from someone on Ancestry.com. Exactly right. So she got a message from someone on Ancestry.com to say, hey, we're related. Are you a sperm donor baby? And she said, yes, I am. She goes, cool.

You're my half sister. We have the same sperm donor father. Neither of us. See, I'd love that. Yeah? Yeah, I really would because it'd be like finding more family. Yeah, true. Especially if you were an only child.

That would be very cool. She's not an only child, coincidentally. She's a triplet. So this donor sperm created triplets. Oh my Lord. So throw three more siblings onto the pile here. How many? How many are there?

So this woman who contacted her said, hey, we have the same father. He's a donor. There's lots of us out there. There's a Facebook group of us so we can share stories. God, how many? And get to know each other and learn about our ancestry. When she joined the Facebook group,

she found out that she had minimum 50 siblings. Oh, yeah. That's a lot. That's a lot. It's a lot. A lot of siblings. There's all different ages in there. But lots at her age too. She said that she's now worried that there are so many people

who have splintered off this one person that she could end up dating someone that she's related to. I mean, very possible. And not know about it. There's a whole movie made about this. Is there? Yeah. What is that film?

And anyway, it's more extreme in the film. I think it's based on a true story. Anyway, they end up finding out. I think the guy who donated all the sperm finds out he has like 400 kids or something. Yeah, yeah, yeah. She's looking at it in a positive way. She's like she respects the man who donated the sperm. He's made it possible for all these people to have a family.

It's not a bad thing that he's done, but he's quite a fertile steed it turns out. I had a really personal chat with one of my really good mates once where we were talking about their situation and they're a sperm donor baby to their parents. Yeah. So their parents really wanted a baby. One of the parents couldn't do that so they got a sperm donor

and boom, Bob's your uncle. Yeah. And I was having a conversation with them and I said, you know, have you ever, you know, tried to see maybe you've got half brothers and sisters? Yeah. And they'd never thought about it before. Right.

And I was like, it'd be pretty cool to see. It's hard to find out though because they don't release that information. Unless you go on Ancestry.com. Unless you submit your DNA to a global database and then join the dots. Simple. And then boom, you're reunited. Can we talk to any sperm donor babies out there this afternoon? Do you have a story similar

to this? Or do you know that you're a donor baby and then you found out who your biological father was under some weird circumstances? Or what's it like? Like, what's the deal? Is there a community of people out there who are sperm donor babies who want to talk to us on the air this afternoon? Like what's the deal? Is there a community of people out there who are sperm donor babies

who want to talk to us on the air this afternoon? Someone said in the text machine in New Zealand, sperm donors are only allowed to donate up to seven times, I think, to avoid that sibling issue. Yeah, that's because there's only like 14 people in New Zealand. That's probably a good idea. Two degrees of separation in New Zealand. If you want to share your story about being a sperm donor baby.

We'd love to hear it. Yeah, 0800 dials at M. You can text us on 9696 as well. Bree and Clint. We're talking about being a donor baby, sperm donor baby. We didn't even talk about egg donor babies as well. Yeah, we need to talk about that. There's a real shortage, someone said on the text machine,

for donor eggs in this country because, and I think the reason for that is it's quite a much bigger process. Invasive. Yeah, to donate an egg which, and you know what, amazing, amazing work to anyone who does it because you give such an amazing gift to people, but it is quite a big and lengthy process. Totally.

We just talked about a lady in the States, excuse me, who's just gone on TikTok and revealed she found out she has over 50 siblings because her dad was a sperm donor who donated and parents got the sperm anonymously. And now she's in a Facebook group with all these people that she's related to that she never knew existed. 50 people she's related to. Yeah. Like half brothers and sisters, right? Yeah. So we want to know, do you have an experience

like this as a Kiwi? Are you a donor baby? Welcome to the show Anonymous. Okay, Anonymous person. You are an egg donor, is that right? Yeah, yeah, sure. Oh, okay. I love that, anonymous.

And, well, you tell us. You've been through it. What was it like? So you can either do donorship to people you know, or you can do effectively an anonymous one. Anonymous one. Yeah. So I originally sort of started off doing anonymous

and then got to know the couple quite well. We touched after we boy and we do another one. We're losing you a little I've got a wee boy and a wee girl. We're losing you a little bit there. Okay, so you know of children that have been born of your eggs. Are there any out there that you, like if you just donate them anonymously, do they tell you if your eggs get used? Yeah, you can ring us and ask for a date of birth and whether it was male or female. That's cool.

If you have children of your own, you probably want to make sure they weren't married. Good for you to keep a little record. That's a good idea. Yeah, fascinating. Okay, thank you, Anonymous. Let's talk to Jacinda. Hi, Jacinda.

Hi, Jacinda. Hello, how are you going? Good, thanks. What's your story? So my six-month-old daughter is the result of a sperm donor. Ah, okay. Yeah, nice. And what was the process like?

Pretty easy. So he's actually my best friend. We've been friends for about 10 or so years. Okay. And you asked if you could borrow a few swimmers. Yeah, yeah. We had a bit of a lengthy chat about it for years. So my partner carried my daughter.

She's biologically hers. Okay. And, yeah, it was all just at home, real chill. I mean, I'm a pretty open book, pretty chilled out kind of a person, so nothing seems to bother or faze me. So, yeah. Yeah, wow. What did your best, can I ask, what was that like?

What did your best friend say, like when you asked him? Oh, he literally almost worships the ground that we walk on. He was like a part of the family forever, okay. Yeah, yeah, basically. He's like, technically, you'll never be able to get rid of me now. Sign me up. I know, I know. Yeah, and funnily enough, we actually now work together.

Any conditions? Do you have to cook him a roast once a month or anything like that? Nah. Nah. They're best friends. Do it because you're besties. Yeah, we've been friends for a very long time. Yeah, beautiful.

It made so much sense. Oh, that's really nice. She's a beautiful little girl. She's six months old. She has a lot of sass and attitude, though. Congratulations, guys. She's a beautiful little girl. She's six months old. She has a lot of sass and attitude. Congratulations, guys. That's a great story. Who does she look like more, you or him?

She actually looks like my partner. Yeah. Oh, right. Partner's a biological mum. Oh, sorry. I missed that part. Your partner's a biological mum. Sorry.

No, what I thought you said, I thought you'd had another daughter that your partner had carried and then you carried this one. No, not yet. I was going to say, well, when's your turn? Do some bloody work, Jacinda. Thanks, Jacinda. One more anonymous caller. You are a sperm donor baby anonymous. Yes, yeah, I am.

I did the whole ancestry DNA thing and then found out that I had a half-brother through that. I was going to say, you didn't find out you were a sperm donor baby through ancestry.com? So you always knew you were one, is that right? Yeah, yeah. My mum's always been really open about it. Yeah, and I have a full brother because they use the same sperm donor for myself and him. Oh, cool.

But yeah. Is he a mystery man? Like, do you know any details about him or just as what it is? About the sperm donor? Yeah. Yeah, so I'm actually in contact with him as well. Oh, that's cool. And wait, so what's the process? Do they have those details or does the sperm donor choose whether or not to say that their details are available? So for our situation anyway,

the sperm donor could choose whether or not to remain private or open. Yeah, fascinating. Okay. That's so cool. And you have a relationship with him or you just have a dialogue? Because I know you've got to be able to know who it is for health reasons and stuff, eh? Yeah, yeah.

So we email back and forth. He is actually from England. So I was going to go meet him last year when I was living in London, but it didn't happen because of COVID, obviously. But yeah, I still am in touch with him. And what's it like to have Jude Law as a dad? Yeah, I mean, it's pretty great. Can you imagine? Can you imagine Anonymous? You'd be like, oh my God, Jude Law's my dad. So cool.

There you go. Love it. Great stories. Thanks, everybody. Brie and Clint. Hey. It's my birthday. It's my birthday.

Brie and Clint's Birthday Banger. All right, here we go. Birthday banger time. Three people. What's the number one song in their 16th birthday? Well, we're going to play our favorite one. Hi, Kelly. G'day, Kelly. Hi. Howth birthday? Well, we're going to play our favourite one. Hi, Kelly. G'day, Kelly.

Hi, how are you? Good, mate. How are you? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, you know. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Oh, yeah.

I love that. You know, can I say, Kelly, I love an honest answer like that. I appreciate it. Yeah, well, it's not Friday. No, it's not Friday. And where in the country are you, Kelly? Wellington. Oh, yeah.

I'll call you. It could be worse, Kelly. It could be worse. I'll call you back tomorrow and ask you, and I'd expect a much better, eh. I'll have a wine. It will be better. Perfect.

All right, Kelly, what's your birthday? Fourth of Feb, 1985. All right, you were 16 in 2001. And on the 4th of Feb in 2001, this was top of the chart. JLo, Love Don't Cost a Thing. Kelly, you're almost exactly two years older than me and my birthday banger

is also a JLo song. So we're like birthday banger twins. That means it's a winner, right? Could do. Kelly, I think your song slaps. It's a good one. Wait there, we've got to do one for Sarah. Hi, Sarah. Hi, Sarah. Hi. How are you? I'm good. How are you guys? Not too bad. Thanks, Sarah. I believe Kelly's birthday banger year is your actual birth year. Yeah, I think it's actually before I was born. All right, well, don't rub it in, Kelly. Can we just check, Kelly, how does that make you feel hearing that?

You must speak to Elder Sarah. Kelly's like, get out of the way and let my birthday banger pass. I have to admit, that birthday banger is a pretty good one. Yeah, it is. Even if you do consider it classic rock, eh, Sarah? Oh, it's not. Kelly owns you now. You're hers.

What's your birthday, the day and the month, Sarah? 22nd of August. 2001. All right, you were 16 in 2017. On the 22nd of August. 2001. All right, you were 16 in 2017. On the 22nd of August, on your 16th birthday, this was number one. Despacito. Oh, this is a good birthday banger, Sarah. This is solid, Sarah.

So that's when you were 16. If my math is correct, you were 32, Kelly. Oh, God. Leave Kelly alone. Leave her alone. Kelly, I'll stand up for you because we're in the same boat. You leave us alone. Okay, wait there, guys.

Wait there. Two very good birthday bangers. We're going to do one more for Logan. Hey, Logan. Hi, Logan. G'day, team. How are you? Good, mate.

How's your day been? Not too bad. Just knocked off. G'day, team. How are you? Good, mate. How's your day been? Not too bad. Just knocked off. Top of the year. Good stuff, Logan. All right. Well, let's get this out of the way. What's your birthday, Logan?

17th of March, 95. All right. You were 16 in 2011. And on the 17th of March, on your 16th birthday, this had a number one hit. You into a bit of S&M, Logan? It wasn't a highly played song on my Spotify, but I'll take it.

And what about just in general? Are you a whips and a chains, excite you kind of guy, Logan? I think we'll just leave it as a no comment, I think. That's what I always say too, Logan. Good man, wait there. We're going to pick a winner. J-Lo, Despacito, Rihanna, they're all good. I like them all.

I think... I think I'm a J-Lo girl today. I think Kelly's right. I think we need to respect I think I'm a J-Lo girl today. I think Kelly's right. I think we need to respect our elders and go with J-Lo. I'm going to go with my girl, Kelly. Congratulations, Kelly. You just won birthday banger. Thanks.

There we go. And Kelly, in your opinion, does love cost or it doesn't cost a thing? It doesn't cost a thing. At least it's your wedding anniversary. Rules to live by. Kelly, well done. Stop tossing them up. Take them out of the park.

I feel like there might be a few. I mean, you know, just a little not mainstream show like Game of Thrones. I feel like there might be a few. I mean, you know, just a little not mainstream show like Game of Thrones. The idea is we're giving you 24 hours to cram as much in as you can on Neon. But, I mean, there is so much Game of Thrones that you're going to have to at least have seen a few episodes. We'll need some super fans, I think. Bree and Clint. Look, this next story could be triggering for people. A girl named Olivia has shared screenshots of a text she had with a guy who she was dating. It was very early days, but they'd been speaking for a fair while and they really liked each other.

And anyway, the text starts out like this. Can I ask you a stupid question? Is this from her or from him? That's from him. Okay. To which she responded, no, there's no stupid questions. He responded, vax, question mark. Oh, as in are you vaccinated?

Yeah. Okay. She responded, I am. Is that a problem? He responded, F word. I liked you so much. She responded with, pardon? And then, anyway, all of this stuff just unraveled in the chat

where pretty much he was like, went on this big rant about how he was like, no, I can't date you, blah, blah, blah. Because she is vaxxed. Yes. How weird. I know. I would have thought, and I'm anticipating this, that there will be red flags put up by people

who don't want to date unvaccinated people in the future. Yeah. But how does it affect him if she is vaccinated? You can't catch her vaccination. Well, to be honest, I'm not going gonna read out some of the stuff he said but it's about his beliefs and one day he wants to get married and have kids and whatever and it doesn't align with you know well maybe he should if he wants to do all those things

in the future maybe he should get vaccinated that's the irony of it so interesting you want to be around to live the rest of your life maybe you should get vaccinated she said to him because she was like uh i put this on my dating profile like it's on my dating profile yeah you can do that now and then i was like is this something that people are now having to put on their dating profile up up front i think some of the platforms like bumble offer it as like a badge so you can tick vaccinated and it's just there on your profile you've just got a little thing there i think it's what i read to avoid awkward situations like this yeah he should have seen it she's already put she's been up front well you should get it to filter it out for you you should go if you don't want to date an unvaccinated person just

tell your dating app that's what you want and vice versa if you're terrified of dating someone who's had the vaccine then just filter them out of your algorithm you know what's so weird because i remember like when i first came to this country and then went through a horrific breakup and then eventually i got back on the horse on the dating scene and i signed up for a dating app yeah and they made me specify and tell people up front that I'm Australian. Yeah, your apps were never the same, were they? They're like, you need to be up front about that stuff. Tinder was like, sorry, no swipes for you today. You've got to be up front.
