The ZM Podcast Network.

Another big day of Anastasia girl bossing the show
Girl boss bitch
Good work
Good girl boss energy Anastasia
You know that that's not a compliment
No it is No if you said Girl boss energy, Anastasia. You know that that's not a compliment.
No, it is.
No, if you said, like, great job.
Yeah, okay.
Girl boss explain how it works to me.
Wait, what did you say?
I said great job to me.
No, what did Clint say that you said isn't great?
I said she had good girl boss energy.
Yeah, being a bad bitch. Is that a bad thing to say? Nah.
Oh, I just don't really like the term girl boss.
No, no, I get it.
That's why I'm making... Yeah, why can't it just be a boss?
Yeah, yeah. That's part of the reason.
Yeah. That's the reason.
That's kind of the joke. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
To be honest, it's the whole like Pinterest
board. Who would have thought?
Stationary, stationary, that's it.
I mean, isn't it crazy to think that a female can run the show?
Yeah.
I do like the TV show.
I've never even thought of it.
But a woman could be a boss.
And one day there will be a girl boss.
And maybe one day she'll get paid for it.
Oh, don't know about that, Brie.
That might never happen. That's a step too far, Bree. That might never happen. That's a step
too far, mate. That might never happen. Now that I...
Producer Joel's just...
All good, bro. No, we're not recording
anything. It's all good.
Cool. Now that I
know that annoys you, Ben,
can you please make up a girl boss
energy sting for us?
Just for Anastasia, which she does. I bet it'll go like, girl boss energy a girl boss energy sting for us? Just for Anastasia, which she does.
I bet it'll go like, girl boss energy, girl boss energy.
Got the girl boss energy.
I got the girl boss energy.
Actually, you could have just used that.
Got that boss babe energy.
Yeah.
Another good idea from you, Anastasia.
Well done.
Being a girl boss.
I felt like somebody had to report something in here today.
I think you're talking about COVID updates.
Oh. There's no real update. Well, there's no updates. No, that today. I think you're talking about COVID updates. Oh.
There's no real update.
Well, there's no updates.
No, that's what I was saying.
There's no update.
None of us have got it.
Which is good.
It's good.
Hey, no news is good news, right?
No news is the best news.
You're trying not to get it.
You want to try and...
Are we talking about what you're doing?
Going home.
Yeah.
Yeah, we could talk about that.
I think we could talk about that.
Well, I don't know if you were doing a surprise this time.
Wait, like, not forever.
I was trying to keep it a surprise from my sister.
But then she had to be told because she's been holding off
because I'm her son's godparent.
She's been putting off the baptism for two years.
And my mum was like...
Her child's been living in sin.
Yeah.
And so she's had to organize the the baptism at the
last minute so who were you going to surprise her her and yeah and your mom no i told my mom and dad
when i was away filming and my mom and dad both cried again filming what i'm filming uh naked
attraction i'm trying to get it a break. And then Aiden and Kim,
so Aiden, my brother and his
girlfriend, were sitting in the other
room and they heard my mum go,
oh, that's such good news!
And they were like, well,
something's going on. So they
kind of found out already. Yeah.
Could you still keep it a secret from your sister
and then plan a surprise
baptism?
Like she walks into the room, you're like, surprise, I'm here.
And so is a priest.
And we've dug a hole in the backyard.
Yeah.
And we're just going to dunk him in that.
Oh, good old fashioned hole baptism.
No, we've got the hot tub outside.
Yeah, I was going to say, do it in the sink.
We've got the lights and we've turned the jets on
and we're just going to dump him in there.
I know shit.
Went to a baptism, like multiple baptisms.
It wasn't in the spa.
It wasn't.
So, you know, the ones we probably all, if you guys went, you know, you have it in the little basin thing at the church.
Yeah.
No shit.
The one that our family friends, I've been to like three of them.
They have an actual spa that they bring into the church and it's done in a spa.
No, it's done in a spa because no because the kids
it's it's like a mini pool and the kids um they they actually swim to submerge because that they
have to submerge because they're um because that church because they're so dirty with some no
because he's like isn't that um isn't that uh what's the religion um um jewish no they don't
do baptisms in judaism like pretty sure they do no you're bar mitzvah don't do Baptisms in Judaism
I'm pretty sure they do
No you have a bar mitzvah
Don't you
They do a ceremony
Where they literally
Walk into this pool
I don't know why
I'm pretending I know
I don't know
You walk down these stairs
And you have to fully
Submerge yourself
Maybe it's not a baptism
It's like a church
That's new and hip
You pay extra
For the spa pool treatment
I can't believe
They bring out a spa
They bring it in
And the kids,
like one of them one time wore like a whole body rash suit.
The kids put on dogs.
You're meant to wear white at your baptism.
Their church is unreal.
Do you have to get a white rash vest?
No, they just wear dogs.
This white rash vest does not go together.
Again, it's like modern.
It's like the type of one Bieber would go to.
I went to a baptism.
Okay, hang on, hang on.
Have you noticed what's happening here?
What?
She's trying to get us to join her church.
We're not joining Hillsong.
I would join this church.
She's giving us all the benefits of her weird scarpa's church.
You can join Hillsong if you want to.
It's not my church.
Don't try and make me deny.
But they do give you hot dogs.
We will not join.
What the fuck?
They have a barista there.
They've got a hot dog.
Everything's free. Are you listening to this?
She's trying to get you mate
Don't buckle okay
I nearly buckled on hot dogs
Don't buckle man
Is there Swedish meatballs?
Sounds like I'm going to Ikea
I'm going there only
As other people's
Plus one
That's what they all say
Stop it There was a lollytable once That's a people's plus one. Sure, yeah. No. That's what they all say. That's how they do it.
Stop it.
Yeah.
There was a lolly table once.
Okay, stop.
What the hell?
Yeah.
Stop, because now I'm kept there.
The only thing I've ever got is the stale bread at my church.
Anyways.
This is going weird.
Sorry.
All right.
Do you reckon at church, like during COVID times,
they still let everyone drink out of the same cup?
No, they didn't.
They don't, eh?
Well, they weren't allowed
to gather most of the time.
The whole time it was
There's no church gatherings
but yeah no no no
no no no
That has got COVID
written all over it.
You had to go up
and get your own little
mini bottle of the blood of Christ.
I think that's done for life.
You know at some churches
they do that.
They always have little cups
for every person.
No.
You know at some churches
they don't use wine
because they have a lot of
recovering alcoholics in the congregation. No. Some churches, they don't use wine because they have a lot of recovering alcoholics.
Really?
Yeah.
Oh, that's good.
Grape juice.
Yeah, good for them.
Good for the recovering alcoholics.
Not so good for me, who's just sat through a 45-minute Easter mass.
And you want to have a sleep and be back into the ceremony.
I just need a hit of something.
I'm like, give me that blood of Christ.
Let us proclaim the mystery of faith.
Plug it to my veins.
Oh, I can't wait for Easter maths.
It's the longest one of the year.
Get dog dogs.
Oh, God bless Saint Christopher.
God bless Saint Joseph.
And they bless literally every name in the whole bloody dictionary.
Well, peace be upon everybody.
This is such a weird podcast.
And if you want to join Anastasia's cult,
I mean church,
slide in her DMs.
What kind of hot dogs?
Was there mustard and...
They're American.
Ooh.
Okay, everybody.
Enjoy the podcast.
And we'll see you on the Sabbath.
Kaki da doa.
Let us bogle proclaim the mystery of love
Good afternoon everybody
Welcome to the show

Short week.

There's three short weeks in a row coming up.
Unpopular opinion, but I think Easter, that time of the year...
Don't say better than Christmas.
Might be better than Christmas.
No, you're off your head.
Could be. You're off your head. There's not as much
pressure. You don't have to spend as
much money because you just buy a few eggs and you
throw them out in the yard for the kids.
Ham is better than hot cross buns.
Oh, you can have, no, we
have that on Easter. You do not have ham on Easter.
We have lasagna and ham. You do not.
You do not. We have it all, mate.
You do not. Bree and I did an interview with some school kids today for their school project.
I think they were year eight.
And one of the questions was, what year did you guys start on radio?
And I went, what year were you guys born?
And they said, 2010.
And I said, oh, well, we started before that.
A little while before that.
I've never felt so old.

I like that, Liam.
You keep pushing those boundaries, mate.
I like it.
Thank you.
Brian Clint.
I found this story online earlier today
and I thought it was quite an interesting scenario
to put to you, Clint,
because, you know, when you're in a relationship,
like sometimes there's always that fights that happen,
you know, there's little arguments or discussions
and then sometimes you fight over really dumb stuff.
And usually it's not about that thing,
but it appears like it is.
It's just a pressure point.
You know?
Yeah.
Anyway, there's this story about this woman
who she is asking for advice because she said
she thinks she may have went too far
because her boyfriend, Mike is his name,
has gotten really into scented candles.
Oh, okay.
Really into it.
Interesting.
Interesting hobby to pick up.
Yeah, but he's really into it.
Anyway, she decided one day that she was going to make a few jokes.
About his scented candles?
About his scented candle collection.
She called them a bit dorky.
You know, it's a bit dorky to be into collecting candles.
Don't bully the poor guy.
He's probably been looking for ages for a hobby.
You know, it's obviously a bit of banter and, you know.
Anyway, it started a fight.
Yeah.
I know why it started a fight.
He's clearly self-conscious about his new hobby.
Yeah, leave him alone.
Guys could like candles.
He's like, most of my guys' friends like cricket and rugby,
and I like scented candles.
And then his partner bullies him about it.
He's self-conscious.
Yeah, he's quite sensitive about it.
But let me just say, I think it's hot when men are into candles.
Do you?
Yeah, I think it's really attractive when men break all those stereotypes.
Like if a guy came up to me and said, oh, do you want to, you know.
Come to my house and make a candle.
Like if he was like, this is my favourite scented candle
and it was like a real good one and like he was into it
and he knew stuff about them, I'd be like, hot.
What if it was one of the Glade ones from the supermarket?
No, no.
Remember it's got the red wax and the glass cup?
That's not hot.
He's like,
love scented candles.
And you're like,
oh my God,
I found my dream guy.
And then you go around
and he's got an ear wick.
Nah, nah, not good.
Not good.
That's not sexy at all.
But if a guy turned around
and went,
come and look at these
amazing new thousand
thread count sheets
that I just got.
I'm really into this pattern.
That's what you're into.
Yeah, okay.
I'm really into this pattern.
I'd be like, sign me up.
All right.
Anyway, it started a big fight.
I'll float that at the next men's AGM.
Okay, good.
Good.
I'm glad.
Started a big fight and they nearly ended up breaking up.
Over his scented candles?
Over this.
Over her bullying him about his scented candles?
Over her making a couple of jokes about it.
So it ended up in a big fight.
I think it's all good now.
They've figured it out and she's like, okay, I get it. So it ended up in a big fight. I think it's all good now. They've figured it out.
And she's like, okay, I get it.
I can't joke about the candle.
I get what you're saying.
Tiny thing to fight over.
Would have been the stupidest reason to break up.
Why'd you and Mike break up?
Oh, I bullied him about scented candles.
Be like, okay, but what else?
No, that's it.
That was it.
Scented candles.
That's the whole thing.
We broke up over scented candles.
How embarrassing to tell that story
if that's the reason they broke up.
Look, I get it.
My wife and I had a heated conversation this morning about what kind of jars we should keep.
Things like, you know, you get the seeds and the spices and the bulk buy stuff.
Yes, yes.
There's a big decision.
I said we should have all matching jars.
And she said that we shouldn't have all matching jars.
That mismatched jars was better than all matching jars.
Nah, it's got to be matching.
I reckon matching too.
Matching jars.
She told me matching jars were choo-choo.
And it was at that point I went,
why are we fighting over jars?
Why are we fighting over jars?
That's so interesting.
Me and my partner had a fight last night over tea towels.
Exactly right.
And I said, I think tea towels are disgusting.
I don't want tea towels in my kitchen.
And there was a big fight that broke out.
So we still have tea towels.
So you know you're old and you know your relationship is pretty much sweet
if that's the stuff you're arguing about, right?
I mean, that's the stuff you – it's good to argue about that stuff
because you know you don't have real big issues
if that's what you're arguing over.
Totally.
I thought we could ask this afternoon on 0800DIALZM,
what was the little thing that caused quite a big fight?
Yeah.
Maybe you're still not on speaking terms because of it.
Like the reason's real small and basic AF,
but it caused quite a big argument.
They like the volume on the TV and even numbers,
and you don't care because you're not You know you're not crazy
Where they take their shoes off
When you walk in the door
Like arguments like that
0800 dials at M
Or you can text us
On 9696
What was the small thing
That caused quite a big argument
You can vent to us
This afternoon
We're here to listen
Just on what we were
Talking about before
Adele's album was released
After the Grammy nominations closed.
So it'll be next year.
It'll be next year.
Of course.
That album came out ages ago.
End of last year.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Anyway, Grammy's updates.
Right now we're talking about fights you had that were over something really small.
Mm-hmm.
After a girl got in trouble with her boyfriend
because she made a joke about his
scented candle collection.
And they ended up having a big
argument over it. You know how she could have made it up
to him? Run him a bath,
pour him a glass of wine,
put on all those scented candles, light him a scented
candle and then just leave him alone.
So relaxing. Just to chill out.
So what did you have a big fight
over that was really small? Hi Georgia.
Hi Georgia. Hi.
What was it Georgia that caused
the argument? My husband
put the duvet in a
duvet cover the wrong way. He thinks
he's adamant it's a perfect square and I've
told him unequivocally that it's not.
And then there was just this flappy
unfilled bit of the duvet cover
just hanging off the bed, and he thought it was completely appropriate,
which clearly it was not.
And this was a major crossroads in your relationship, I take it?
It was, and I had to feel like I was a math teacher
teaching him what the rules of a square are.
Georgia, you've married a savage.
I like to imagine you getting the tape measure out
and measuring each side of the duvet inner.
I did.
Oh, you did?
This side is clearly longer than the other side.
I said, look at the bed.
Do you think we are?
Lie down one end.
Can you lie across it?
No.
Wait, so does he think a bed is a square as well?
Yes, he clearly thinks a king bed is a square.
And I said, are you stupid?
Amazing, Georgia.
Well, glad to see that your relationship survived duvet gate.
Becky's here.
Hi, Becky.
Hi, Becky.
Hiya.
Hi.
What was the big fight over the small thing?
Well, we're sitting in a walk-in wardrobe,
and I was like,
I want to have shelves up there for my shoes and we'll have some shelves down the bottom as well.
And he's like, no, no.
You're getting rid of your shoes.
You need to cut them in half.
Like, at least.
You're only having one set of shoes.
I was like...
No, no.
Why on earth would you be getting a walk-in wardrobe
if the plan was to cut down your shoe collection?
Exactly.
And to be fair,
I'd already cut it down
when we first moved in together.
I like got rid of about 15 pairs.
How many shoes do you have, Becky?
I don't know.
What do you think?
I think that's a question
you never ask a woman.
I don't think...
True.
And any men listening,
pick your fights.
Why would you go in on the shoes?
Why am I asking?
Because I've just had my shoes culled because I have too many.
Well, he told me last night when we had this fight.
He was like, well...
Wait, wait.
Was it just last night, this fight?
What's that?
It was just that night.
Okay, yeah.
Wow.
But I was like, he told me I have to wear them at least once in a calendar year.
And I was like, not a problem.
Start making some events for me to go to.
How about you take me out for dinner more then?
Becky and my wife would get on very well.
Finally, Carmen's here.
Hi, Carmen.
Hi, Carmen.
Hi.
Hi, how are you?
Good, thanks.
What was the small thing that caused a big fight?
Oh, I'm nearly in my 50s, and this was back in my early 20s,
and I was living alone, and I had this, seeing this young fella,
and he was in between flats.
I said, oh, just move in with me for a bit.
And I used to work quite hard six days a week,
and then go to the gym afterwards,
and I worked extra hard that day for my packet of chips,
and I got home, and the bastard had eaten them.
Oh, no.
I know that feeling.
What did you do?
I dumped him and said, get your shit and move out.
You dumped him over a packet of chips?
Yeah, I worked really hard and he was a dickhead anyway.
I think that's fair enough, Carmen.
I mean, you know, if he's going to do that,
what else is he capable of, you know?
I know.
I can tell, Carmen, 30 years later, you're clearly over it as well.
Oh, yes, I am.
I'm happily married.
You clearly moved on, eh?
Yes, I am.
Isn't there, Carmen, nothing worse than if you have leftovers of something
and you put them in the fridge and you think about those leftovers all day?
Oh, I know.
And if you come home and someone has touched them.
Oh, mate.
Thanks, Carmen. I know. I, mate. Oh, thanks, Cathy.
I know.
I was curious.
Yeah, well, we know.
Marriages have ended over that.
It's been 30 years and you're still calling radio stations
to call them a dickhead.
Those wounds run deep.
Bree and Clint.
And time for the latest.
From iHeartRadio, this is the latest live from LA with Dean McCarthy.
Dean's here speaking of the Grammys. Bruno Mars caused a bit of a drama last night on stage, right, Dean?
He did, and yet it's not really getting that much talk.
People didn't even really pay attention.
He actually lit up a cigarette on stage at the Grammys.
What?
Now, yeah, right.
I think some of it was shown.
It was like a victory cigarette, I guess you could say.
I don't think it really, I mean, it really didn't cause that much drama.
Like, he wasn't dragged off stage.
He hasn't made huge headlines, but it definitely happened.
And, of course, obviously a lot of people are very disappointed
that he would do that on a platform like that with millions of viewers
winning an award as such a, you know.
He's trying so hard to get that bad boy edge.
You know what, guys?
It could have been a lot worse.
He could have ripped a big bong.
Yeah.
Like Miley.
Pulls out a big bong on stage.
Did she do that?
Remember she pulled a joint out of her Chanel handbag at the MTV Awards?
Oh, that's different to a bong.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
Bong's more premeditated, right?
It's like next level.
Dean, I think he was up there actually, though.
He was winning with Silk Sonic, and he's just up there promoting their single,
Smoking Out the Window.
You know?
Oh, of course.
He's in theme.
He's doing what's got to be done.
I mean, he could have went with a cigar.
Isn't it weird, though, Dean, that in 2022,
it's outrageous that a musician lights a cigarette?
It shows how far we've come with smoking being denormalised.
Whereas if we were presenting this story,
even in the 90s,
going someone smoked a cigarette at the awards,
you'd go, yeah, it's music, bro.
Yeah, you wouldn't even.
He's a musician.
I'm speaking of Bruno Mars, though.
I once got a photo with Bruno Mars on a plane
and realised it wasn't Bruno Mars.
What?
You got a photo with someone you thought was Bruno Mars.
Yeah.
I'm looking back, I'm like, wait a second.
Not him.
I'd love to see that photo.
Was it smoking?
I'm so glad the guy went through with the photo.
He's like, yeah, whatever, man.
Yeah, I'm sick of this.
That's amazing.
Get your photo and piss off.
That's the latest in our Hollywood correspondent
and Bruno Mars spotter,
Dean McCarthy, live out of Los Angeles.
Bree and Clint.
I have some news that I feel like a lot of people will have their minds blown over this.
Okay.
I know I did.
It revolves around a toothbrush.
Oh, not yet.
Hold on.
I thought that was a toothbrush sound effect. Sorry. Oh, gotcha, gotcha. I thought that was a toothbrush sound effect.
Sorry.
Oh, gotcha, gotcha.
I thought it was going to go.
No, that's the actual mind-blowing fact.
Oh, okay.
So, you know, with your toothbrush, like we're talking normal toothbrush
and maybe electric toothbrushes as well.
You know how there's different colour bristles?
Yeah.
And usually it's the front bristles are like a different colour
to the back bristles.
They're usually blue or white.
Yes.
Yeah.
Do you know there's a reason for that?
No.
Is there?
Oh, my God.
Is there?
Are you ready to have your mind blown?
Yes.
Play the audio and listen to the reason why the bristles are a different colour.
You ever wonder toothbrush colours?
There's a reason for that.
The smallest of the colours, usually near the top,
is to show you how much toothpaste you actually should be using.
You're actually not supposed to put the toothpaste all along the brush.
You're only supposed to use about a pea size,
which is the dark blue color here.
Now, kids' toothbrushes are no different.
Here's a taller toothbrush, and you can see the blue in the middle
shows you exactly how much toothpaste to measure out.
What the hell?
Is your mind blown?
The colours tell you how much toothpaste to use.
Yeah, so you know in your toothbrush, say the bristles at the front, they're all blue.
That's where you're meant to put the toothpaste.
So you see how much you're meant to put on it.
If that's true, that's crazy.
I don't know if it's 100% true.
Especially because I use so much toothpaste.
It makes sense, though, doesn't it?
Far out, man.
Okay, well, you've done this.
I know.
Blew my mind.
Me too, mate.
There's dentists out there going,
finally, finally some topics,
finally you're talking about the things we care about.
And then there's toothpaste companies going,
damn it, they've figured it out.
Bree and Clint.
Big news, especially for the One Directioners
in the past couple of weeks,
is the talk over Liam Payne's new accent.
Oh, has he got a new accent, has he?
Well...
People are saying that they think his accent
at the Oscars last week
when he was doing interviews on the red carpet.
It sounded really muddled and like there was a bunch
of different accents all over the shop and it didn't sound like him.
That's what they're saying.
This happens when someone often moves overseas, right?
Yeah, like I mean.
They go and do their OE.
They've lived, yeah, you know.
It's like my cousin who went to America for three weeks
and came back with a full southern accent.
And I was like, you were there for three weeks.
I've got friends from Rotorua who didn't know we were to London.
I don't know if you pick it up that quick.
Something like Posh Spice.
I was like, oh, yeah, good trip, was it?
Quite interesting, isn't it?
Hey, we thought we could do a bit of a side-by-side.
So let's play Liam Payne.
This is from 2017, an interview he did,
and this is what he sounded like.
Hang about in my slippers and watch...
What's your favourite thing to do on your day off?
My favourite thing to do on my day off
is just hang about in my slippers and watch rubbish television.
Go-to dance move?
Got to dab on it. It's just easy. Quick.
NSYNC or Take That?
Oh, that's really hard.
Take Sync.
Normal UK-led voice.
English accent, isn't it?
And this is from the red carpet at the Oscars last week.
Will Smith actually used to live behind my house.
I've had the pleasure of knowing his son and his daughter very well.
And we did Men in Black 3 with him.
I believe whatever he felt that he did, he had the right to do.
I also felt there were three losers in one fight.
He didn't know, being Chris Rock.
He didn't want to do what he had to do, being Will Smith.
And she did nothing, being Jada.
And it's a very sad thing.
What is that accent?
It's all over the place.
People are reporting it as American and saying he's gone American. He goes into a little bit of American accent and then out of,
into something else.
People are like, what?
But then because it's so muddled, I hear Irish in there.
Yeah, it's all over the shop.
But he's not Irish, is he?
I don't think so.
No.
Niall's Irish. Niall is Irish. Yeah. it's all over the shop. But he's not Irish, is he? I don't think so. No. Niall's Irish.
Niall is Irish.
Yeah.
It's all over the place.
Can I just hear one more time?
Can I hear that accent one more time?
So this is Liam Payne's new accent.
Will Smith actually used to live behind my house.
I've had the pleasure of knowing his son and his daughter very well.
And we did Men in Black 3.
He sounds like Colin Farrell.
You know?
Will Smith. Oh, Will Smith. You used to live behind my house. I've had the pleasurerell. Will Smith.
Oh, Will Smith used to live behind me.
I had the pleasure of knowing Will Smith.
Like it goes in and out.
Fucking mighty Will Smith used to live behind me.
Can you imagine like Tess running different accents?
Like if you were famous, you're like,
I might Tess run a different accent on the red carpet.
Hurry.
Hey, button down the hatches, hurry!
Yeah, either way, everybody's been asked about it.
Harry Styles has been asked about it in an interview.
They're like, what about Liam's new voice?
And Harry's like, you know, we've lived in America for long periods of time.
We each go in and out of, you know.
Yeah, well, there is that.
He's been travelling around the world from a very young age.
So you would get a bit of a transient
accent, wouldn't you? People back home
say to me sometimes that I
sound a lot more Kiwi
Really? Yeah, I get that sometimes
like people who I grew up with
on our social media videos, like when they
see us, they're like, God you're sounding
very Kiwi. Well you're welcome for that
Oh yeah, well thank you
I thought this afternoon we could play a bit of a game based off of this see us, they're like, God, you're sounding very Kiwi. Well, you're welcome for that. Oh, yeah. Well, thank you.
I thought this afternoon we could play a bit of a game based off of this news where I want people to call up who have an accent.
I don't want them to tell us what their accent is.
I just want them to call up and we get to talk to them a little bit, hear their accent,
and then you and I, Clint, have to guess where their accent is from.
We're very bad at this game, but we've got a great attitude.
Hey, it's all you need.
Everybody has an accent, so everybody can play.
However, if you've got a New Zealand accent...
It's going to be pretty easy.
Probably don't call.
Probably don't need you for this game, to be honest.
You guys can sit this one out.
So 0800 DALZITM.
If you've got an accent that's a bit unusual here in New Zealand
and we'll try and guess where you're from.

But news out about Liam Payne from One Direction
and his accent being quite muddled at the Oscars last week.
Take a listen.
Will Smith actually used to live behind my house.
I've had the pleasure of knowing his son and his daughter very well.
And we did Men in Black 3 with him.
I believe whatever he felt that he did, he had the right to do.
I also felt there were three losers in one fight.
I just can't.
He didn't know.
Being Chris Rock.
I can't locate it.
I don't want to do what he had to do.
It's.
Every time you think you've figured out his accent, he switches it on you.
Yeah, I know.
He switches it on you. So we I know. He switches it on you.
So we're going to attempt
to guess where your accent
is from.
Let's bring on
our first international contestant,
Alex.
Kia ora, Alex.
Hi, Alex.
Hey, guys.
How are you doing?
Good, thanks.
Good, good.
We need to talk to you a little bit.

It's quite a distinctive.

We got it, eh?
We got it.
Yep, we got it.
Hey, nice, nice.
Have you lived here for a while?
Three years, but I speak a lot to my job,
so I've had to change the way I speak
so people can understand me.
The second you say yours, then I can hear your accent.
I like it, Alex.
Don't change it.
Don't change for no one.
Thank you, Alex.
That was great to get off with a win.

Whereabouts do you live, Steph?
I live in Taranga, welcome back.
Oh, I can

me, and I don't

Anna. But hers was a hybrid accent.
Hers was Russian, German. So she
was originally from Russia and moved to Germany.
I'm going to say German.
German.

Kelly's here to play the name game with us.
Hi, Kelly.
Clarkson.
Hi, guys.
See, that's how the game works.
I'll say a name like Kelly,
and you need to yell out a famous person
who uses that name as part of their name
as quickly as possible, okay?
Yep.
You know your famous people?
Are you going to be good at this game?
Because Bree's ferocious.
I hope so.
I believe in you, Kelly.
You can do it, babe.
Okay.
Bring the heat.

First to three wins.
Okay.
And just don't hold back.
Go for it.
Don't have to buzz in.
Just yell out the answer.
Okay.
First up, I'm going to start easy.
Someone give me a famous...
Justin.
Timberlake.
Justin Bieber.
Whoa!
See, Brie got you there.
But if you hadn't included, you can just do their last name, okay?
Just say their last name.
Yeah.
You can also do the reverse, by the way.
Like, if you knew someone who had their last name Justin,
you could have yelled out their first name.
Okay. Like Ricky Bobby. had the last name Justin, you could have yelled out their first name. Like Ricky Bobby.
Is his last name Justin?
No, but like he's got
a first name as a last name.
Right, not what I was saying.
I was saying if you knew
someone who had Justin
as a last name,
you could yell out their name.
Gotcha.
Ricky Bobby Justin.
And I think Ricky Bobby
isn't a real person either.
You would not have got
a point for that.
Okay, give me another one.
Here's another one.
Someone give me a famous...
Anthony.
Kalia.
Oh, that's not going to work here.
We'll go to the judge.
I don't know Anthony Kalia,
but our moderator is Anastasia.
Do you know Anthony Kalia?
Not in a million years.
Who's that?
He won Australian Idol in like season three.
So I have to buzz you out
for that one.
Oh, come on guys.
Anthony Kalea,
The Prayer
was a great song.
Do you know an Anthony Kelly?
You've had a lot of time
to think about it now.
I can't think of any Anthony.
Hopkins?
Yeah, Hopkins would have done it
but unfortunately you're out.
We'll move on from that one.
Anthony Kiedis
from the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
Oh, yes.
I don't know who that is.
Yeah, no.
Okay, yeah.
Just me then.
Okay.
What are we at?
One to Brie, none to Kelly.
Someone give me a famous Olivia.

Yeah, you would have me, I reckon.
Just the last name.
Go for it.

Okay, someone give me a famous Stacey.
This one's hard, eh?
It's harder than you think.
Stacey.

If Brie can't come up with one, I'm going to give you Stacey's mum.
Stacey.
Stacey.

He's a Warriors player. Yeah. I thought so. Well done, Brie. That's the Jones? Oh, yeah, that's a real one. He's a Warriors player.
I thought so. Well done, Brie.
That's the game. Oh, sorry, Kelly.
You know how hard Stacey is?
The only Stacey I had was Stacey or Rico.
What was that song?
It's gotta be more to life.
Hey, Kelly,
you don't know who that is either, right?
No. How old are you, Kelly?
I'm 29.
Okay, alright.
I was on the cusp for you then.
Let me whack on some Sassy Eureka.
I know the song.
I know the song, but I don't know who sang it.
She knows the song.
Thank God.
That's fair.
Kelly, you got the KFC chicken dollars, mate.
Oh, thank you.
Yeah, you get it anyway.
Everybody wins.
Everybody wins.
The game's just to fill time, you know?
Yeah, the game's just a ruse, Kelly.
Just to pass the hours until we all eventually, you know.
Go home.
Bite the dust.
Oh, yeah, go home.
That got a bit dark.
Bree and Clint.
Look, this is going to be quite triggering for a lot of people.
Maybe if you're in the car with your parent,
this could be quite awkward,
the conversation that comes up after this.
But a study has been done
and the research has revealed
that more than one million Kiwi parents
are financially supporting their adult children.
A million?
A million Kiwi parents.
A million?
It says more than one million.
I wouldn't have thought there were more than one million parents of adult children in New Zealand.
Yeah, it's interesting.
But once you factor in the children and then the really young children, which I mean, I hope you're financially supporting them.
You should be.
The under 18s.
It's kind of part of the job.
A million?
Yeah.
Wow.
Do you want to hear some of the things the bank of mum and dad are funding?
Yeah, totally, yeah.
So the study revealed everything from paying for transport.
Yeah.
That could include, you know, paying Rego or car insurance.
Oh, okay.
Maybe petrol.
Uber's home from town.
Maybe.
It could be.
Helping with wedding costs.
13% of parents said they're helping with that. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. That one's fairly standard town? Maybe. It could be. Helping with wedding costs. 13% of parents said they're helping with that.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
That one's fairly standard, I think.
This one's quite interesting.
Paying for some or all of their holidays.
Really?
13%.
As an adult, your parents pay for your holidays?
Yeah.
What?
You're like, mum, I can't afford to go to Fiji.
Mum, all my friends are doing a contiki. This one's pretty standard, I can't afford to go to Fiji. Mum, all my friends are doing a contiki.
This one's pretty standard, I think.
19% of people said they gave their children money for a loan or a home deposit.
Oh, yeah, that one's becoming way more common.
Yeah, I think that's pretty common.
They quite often take that out of their own house.
They get a loan against their own house so you can buy your house.
Do they?
Is that what they do?
God, parents just do it all, don't they?
Well, some.
Some.
Some are just loaded.
And some can't do any.
Yeah.
Yeah.
The top ones, though, 31% said they let their kids live at home
without having to pay rent.
Right.
I'd love to know what age that goes up to.
Where is the cut-off point?
Because a lot of people choose to stay living at home while they're still at uni.
My sister was living at home when she was 31.
Oh, yeah.
And then she got a serious boyfriend and they got engaged.
Did he move in too?
And then he moved into my parents' house.
And then now they live in a house like 50 metres down the road from my parents' new
house.
Good deal.
On the same property.
Good deal.
The study also revealed 26% of parents pay for bills, including internet, mobile phone
and energy bills. But the biggest one at 44% of Kiwi parents said they helped their kids pay for was groceries.
Wow.
I mean, look, no judgment.
It's really hard out there at the moment.
Things are really expensive.
And yeah, cost of living is tough.
But surely as a parent, you think, oh my God, eventually, eventually I'm going to be financially
free. Like, when am'm going to be financially free.
Like, when am I going to have my own pocket money to spend my own money?
Here's a good text that's just come in.
It says, as a 23-year-old, from this week,
I have to start paying for my own petrol and phone bill.
RIP, the bank of dad is finally closing.
Oh no, RIP, bank of dad.
23 seems, look, 23 to me seems like a pretty fair cut off.
Yeah, I think that's fair.
I'm pretty sure.
They've helped you through uni.
They've got you on your feet in the real world.
What's the last bill that your parents paid for for you?
Can you remember?
My parents gave us some money towards the wedding.
Okay.
Yeah.
Right.
And they had always planned to do that.
We didn't go to them and go, please, we want to have a bigger bar tab.
They'd always planned to,
so they gave us the money for the wedding.
Right.
What about you?
I think it would have been...
Can I guess?
Yeah.
Car insurance.
Yep, two years ago.
My mum goes,
I've paid for your car insurance.
It's done.
And I know why she did that,
because she wanted you to have it.
Yeah.
She knew you wouldn't get around to sorting it.
Yeah.
So she just did it. Yeah. But I you wouldn't get around to sorting it. Yeah. So she just did it.
Yeah.
But I'm very appreciative.
Thank you, mum and dad.
Shall we get some people to call in who are willing to admit
that the bank of mum and dad is still open for them?
Yeah, open for business.
What is the bank of mum and dad paying for?
Do you have an unlimited line of credit at the bank of mum and dad?
Or maybe it's finite, but it's really big.
Maybe they're paying for heaps of things.
Maybe they're paying for something they don't realise they're
paying for. Like, maybe they don't realise that they
still have an automatic payment that goes out to pay
your phone bill or something like that. My mum's credit card's on
my Uber Eats account.
She's like, who is this person that's
just getting stuff every Friday, Saturday,
Sunday night? We know you're out there.
A million Kiwis are still paying
their adult children's bills.
So who are you and what are they paying?
What's the bank
of mum and dad still paying for?
And how old are you?
It's so much more common than we
realise. It is super common and
I think it's, you know, there's a lot
of crazy pressure
on people these days.
Cost of living. I mean, how much is petrol?
I know.
I know.
But I mean, your parents are facing that.
So no, no judgment.
No judgment.
Someone's texted and said, I'm 28, a whole ass adult.
I work as a psychologist.
I have a husband, a house.
My dad still pays for my car insurance.
Yes, Queen.
I think he's just forgotten about it, but I am not going to remind him.
Let me bring you in on this.
They haven't forgotten.
You reckon?
Nah, I feel like my mum did that for years with my phone bill
when I was working a million different jobs
when I was first starting in radio,
and she paid for my phone bill for years
because she knew I couldn't afford it.
Yeah.
Well, she had a vested interest.
She wanted to be able to talk to you.
Well, that's true.
Same as when she paid your car insurance.
She didn't want to have to deal with the aftermath when you hit somebody in a car park.
Let's talk to some anonymous callers.
Hi, anonymous.
Hi, anonymous.
Hi.
The bank of mum and dad is well and truly open for you?
Yeah, kind of.
So I've been on their phone plan for four or five years
and they're still on it.
I'm 26.
Do you think they know that you're on their phone plan?
They know.
Oh, yeah, absolutely.
I text my dad when I run out of data and be like,
more data, please.
Anonymous.
Anonymous.
What about like Netflix or Spotify?
Do you have any like,
are you on their accounts for anything like that?
Yeah, I'm on my dad's Spotify.
Yeah, good, good.
Oh, well, milk it while you can, you know.
He's got the family pack for a reason.
Someone texted and said,
my wife is now financially cut off from her mother
and is quote, my problem now.
The mum's palmed it off.
At the wedding, mum just comes up and goes,
yours now.
Shocker not.
She's very expensive.
I hope you know what you're getting into.
I can just picture my mum doing that to someone.
Another anonymous caller.
Hi, anonymous.
Hi, anonymous.
Hi.
Talk to us about the bank of mum and dad.
What are they bankrolling for you?
It's my partner. Oh, tell us the bank of mum and dad. What are they bankrolling for you? It's my partner.
Oh, tell us.
Job the Men Anonymous.
He gets his rent, car insurance and groceries all paid for.
Groceries every week, Anonymous?
Yeah.
That is crazy.
Wait, rent, groceries and what was the other one?
Car insurance.
Car insurance.
How old is this man?
21, but he's been out of, he's moved out four years ago.
What does he do for a job?
He doesn't.
He doesn't have a job?
He's a student.
Oh, okay.
All right, all right, okay.
But he doesn't look for a job.
Yeah, right.
Are you a student too?
Yeah.
I also work part-time. Does that really tick you off, Anonymous?
Yeah, it does.
I bet it does.
Does he let you eat some of his groceries?
No.
I have to buy everything for myself,
and if he runs out of money, he goes, I need this.
Stingy.
Well, it sounds like you found a good one, Anonymous.
He's a keeper.
Christy's here.
Hi, Christy.
Hi, Christy. Hi. Hi, Christy. Hi, Christy.
Hi.
Hi, guys.
How are you?
Is it you that's cashing in on the bank of mum and dad?
Yes.
So mum and dad lent me 16 grand to invest in a brand new car, but the difference is
I am paying it back.
Right.
Okay.
Okay.
I like how you used the word invest.
It sounds like you put together a PowerPoint presentation
For your parents to present it to them
Buying a brand new car is the worst investment ever
Well we kind of have like a written contract and everything
So I have to put it as investment
Okay, so what's the interest rate that your parents are charging you to pay them back?
That's the cash, there is no interest
Yeah, right
So they're doing you a solid by lending you the money.
And when your birthday rolls around, you're like, don't get me anything.
Just knock $1,000 off my bill.
Yeah, I tried that.
Didn't work.
I think that's okay.
I think that's like a parent duty to lend your kids money if they pay you their back.
Listen to this, and you can hear it too, Christy.
I have my mum's credit card for gas, petrol, online expenses,
essentially five grand a month, and they pay the credit card bill.
You are taking the piss.
You spend 5K on your mum's credit card every month.
My mother would slap me.
I know.
I wonder what her mum does.
Is her mum or his mum really wealthy?
Oh, they've just texted not every month.
Not every month.
Essentially 5K a month and they pay the bill.
And then they've texted back in capital letters, not every month.
Can you, if you're listening, six figure.
Their mum earns six figures.
Yeah, right.
Wow.
God, does your mum want another daughter?
Let me know.
There's a lot of people texting in going, any of these your mum want another daughter? Let me know. There's a lot of people texting in going,
any of these parents adopting at the moment?
Let me know.
There you go.
A million Kiwis out there supporting their adult children,
so they walk among us.
Bree and Clint.
Hi.
It's my birthday.
It's my birthday.
Bree and Clint's birthday banger.
Hey.
Yeah, does she want like an older son too?
Because it's definitely my birthday coming up
and I feel like I need a new car.
Let's do some birthday bangers.
Andre's here.
Kia ora, Andre.
Hi, Andre.
G'day, team.
How are we?
Good, mate.
How are you?
Good, I'm great.
Thank you.
Hey, look, to chuck in there as well,
if there are any of those mums or dads out there,
my birthday's about to be announced.
If they want to put it in their little calendars,
I'm open for these donations.
You're looking for a sugar mummy or daddy as well.
Exactly.
Any sort of sugar, I'll take it.
I like that, Andre.
Well, let's put it out there.
What's your birthday?
The 5th of October.
All right.
And what year?
1992.
All right, mate.
You were 16 in 2008.
And on your 16th birthday on the 5th of October,
this was top of the chart.
Oh, yeah, that's a bit of you, right, Andre?
That's a bit of a banger.
That is.
Yeah.
That's a tune.
That was like before it's time, that song, wasn't it?
Yeah, it was.
Yeah.
Okay, good one.
Wait there, Andre.
We'll do one for Mike.
Kia ora, Mike.
G'day, Mike.
Hey, what's up, family?
How are you, mate?
I'm good, thanks.
How are you?
Not too bad, Mike.
Keen to find out your birthday, banger.
What's your birthday?
Yeah, 23rd of August, 1992.
All right.
Another 92, baby.
Yeah, same year.
You were 16 in 2008 as well.
But Mike, here's your birthday banger.
Banger.
Queen Riri.
Do you like it, Mike?
All day, all day, man.
I love it.
Yes, Mike.
I can imagine 16-year-old Mike going off to this.
She was so big
in the late 2000s, wasn't she?
Yeah, this was for the movie, eh, this song?
The movie Disturbia. That movie is
disturbing. With Shia LaBeouf?
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, wait there, Mike.
We'll do one more birthday banger for Sarah,
whose birthday is today. Happy birthday,
Happy birthday, Sarah.
Thanks. What have you done for your
birthday today?
Not too much.
Probably later on I will. Okay.
Are you hitting the clubs, Sarah?
I don't know. You're going to get
turned up. A few tequilas, maybe
off the shoulder top, Sarah. Or are you going to do
a body shot?
They'll lie you on the bar, they'll
pour the tequila into your belly button,
put the lime wedge in your mouth.
Do you rather being the person that has
the tequila in your belly button
or the person that's taking the shot
out of the belly button? I vote
Having seen some people's belly buttons
I'd rather it be my belly button
than drink out of someone else's belly button.
Having seen your belly button, I would rather not.
What do you want, Sarah?
It's your birthday.
Oh, awful.
Either one.
Well, you have to choose.
You have to choose.
Do you want to do a killer shot out of my belly button or Bree's belly button?
Bree's, probably.
Bree's is infected.
It's not infected.
Too late.
Bree's is infected.
You chose Bree.
It is not.
Thank you, Sarah, for choosing my belly button.
I appreciate that. What year were you born, Sarah?
1984. All right. All that. What year were you born, Sarah? 1984.
All right.
All right, so you were 16 in the year 2000.
And on your 16th birthday, Sarah, this was number one.
Oh, banger.
I love this song.
Madison Avenue?
That's right.
Don't Call Me Baby.
Do you remember that one, Sarah? Brings back a few memories, that does. I love this song. Madison Avenue? That's right. Don't Call Me Baby. Do you remember that one, Sarah?
Brings back a few memories, that does.
I love that.
I'm going to vote for that to win Birthday Banger today.
I'm voting for that too.
Hey, guess what, Sarah?
On your birthday, you just won Birthday Banger.
Yay!
Thank you.
And don't worry, by the way, the alcohol in the tequila will kill any bacteria in Brie's
infected belly button.
It's good for you and it's good for Bree.
That's all right.
I've been saving some stuff up in there for you, Sarah.
Have a good night.
We'll talk to you soon, Sarah.
Have a good birthday, mate.
Thanks.
Weirded out by all the belly button stuff, eh?
She's like, can you please stop talking about me doing shots out of your guy's belly button?
I'm never calling this radio station.
I think I've done a shot out of your belly button.
Memories.
The Grammys went down yesterday and
Olivia Rodrigo cleaned up.
Not Adele, we found out today.
She's not eligible for these Grammys. She wasn't
included in this one. It'll be next year.
She's next Grammys. Yeah. So good
work Olivia Rodrigo staying clear of Adele.
You know, if you want to win. That was smart, Rodrigo.
Have you ever wondered what's in a
Grammys goodie bag though? Yeah, I have
wondered. Do they get like a
sick old school
Walkman? No, but that would be good.
That would be cool. I reckon an iPod
would probably be the updated one. Oh yeah.
That's retro now, isn't it?
An iPod with all of the nominees' albums on it.
That's cool.
Wouldn't that be good?
iPod Shuffle.
Do you remember the Shuffle?
Yeah.
iPod Nano.
If you enter the fitness, you're on the Shuffle.
iPod Color.
Yeah, we're old, man.
Well, let's have a look at these goodie bags.
Last week, we revealed that the stars at the Oscars
got some crazy things in their $200,000 goodie bags.
It's too...
Wait.
That was the Oscars one.
Wait, wait, wait.
So the Oscars was $200,000.
How much is the Grammys?
Well, in that $200,000
they got liposuction
and home renos.
The Grammys...
They got holidays.
They got holidays, yeah.
Yeah.
The Grammys won
slightly less bougie.
It's only worth
around $70,000.
Oh, well, what is this BS?
This is what
the Lil Nas X's and the Olivia Rodrigos
and the Lady Gagas of the world received.
You work your guts out all year,
and then they can only put a measly $70,000 into the goodie bag.
So what are you getting?
Again, vouchers for liposuction.
Again?
Yep.
What a good message that they're sending to the industries, are they?
Specifically arm liposuction.
Is that the new in thing, is it?
To get that wadley bit underneath your arm.
Yeah, I hate doing lunges.
What?
What's a lunge going to do?
A lunge.
Oh, you mean a dip?
A dip, yeah, a dip.
Yeah, yeah.
Well, don't do it.
Go and get some arm lipo.
That doesn't sound fun.
CBD products.
Oh, yeah.
Like CBD oils. Extract from weed. Mm-hmm. The non. Oh, yeah. Like CBD oils.
Extract from weed.
The non-psychotropic part of weed.
The relaxing part.
The relaxing part.
Yeah.
Popcorn.
Bottles of Grey Goose vodka.
That's a good one.
Yeah.
An electric toothbrush.
God, this one sounds way less bougie than the Oscars one.
Mate, it's only a measly 70k.
What's the big ticket item? Vegan running shoes. way less bougie than the Oscars. Mate, it's only a measly 70k.
What's the big ticket items? Vegan running shoes.
Next.
A three-course meal at New York's Kokomo restaurant.
There's all kinds of things.
That sounds good.
I've always wondered with this,
how do they cram all that stuff under their seats at the Grammys?
Yeah, how do they put it all into one bag?
And how come we don't see them carrying out their goodie bags
on the red carpet?
Well, they don't, okay?
Nominees and presenters are invited to walk through the lounge of gifts
three days prior to the event.
What?
They then select the things that they want, so there's no wastage.
Like, if you don't want vegan running shoes, don't select them.
Like, I don't want it.
You tick the things that you want, and they go, cool. And if you don't want vegan running shoes, don't select them. Like I don't want it. You tick the things that you want and they go, cool.
And then they ship all of that stuff to your house.
Yeah, see, I get to do this as well.
I do it when I haven't done it for a while because we haven't been able to fly,
but they have that same thing at the international airport.
You mean duty free?
What's that?
It's where you get your booze cheap at duty free.
That's where you get all the free stuff.
It's not free, mate.
It's not free.
It's not free.
I've got some phone calls to make.
Yeah.
Interestingly, the stuff the celebrities don't get, the stuff they get is free.
The stuff they get is not that free either.
What do you mean it's not that free?
According to Variety magazine, all of the gifts that celebrities receive at the Grammys
and the Oscars and the Golden Globes and whatever it is, it's all classed as taxable income.
So they have to pay tax on their free electric toothbrush.
Oh, because they're quite expensive items.
Yeah, well, because they got it for free as part of their job.
Yeah.
So you get the thing.
If it was here in New Zealand, you'd have to pay 30% of whatever that toothbrush is worth.
I mean, 30% for a toothbrush is pretty good, but...
I'd be thinking twice before I took the vegan running shoes
or the arm liposuction, because I'm not going to use it.
Yeah, what if you don't use it?
You don't want to pay for something you don't use.
So there you go.
Being rich and famous is not all it's cracked up to be.
It actually sounds like it's a really tough life.
Like paying taxes on free stuff.
I mean, what is the world coming to?
Bree and Clint.
Zed and Bree and Clint.
It's Lauren Spencer-Schmidt that's called, fingers crossed.
She sounds like she'd be fun at a party.
Look out.
Clearly over the break up.
Yeah, look out.
Clearly.
This is going to, I think, shock a few people.
A woman has taken to TikTok.
Her name's Jack Anderson.
And she's made some outrageous claims, in my opinion,
about what she thinks the rule should be for women
when it comes to showering.
Look, I am a once-a-day showerer most of the time.
Me too, me too.
Yeah, unless I'm exercising, then I'm probably a two-a-day shower person.
You don't run into that issue too often, though, eh?
Nah, nah.
It's very rare.
Because you're being environmentally conscious.
I am.
Look, I don't want to use the water.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You're putting the environment over your own...
And, you know, I'm just like that. I'm selfless. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're putting the environment over your own... And you know, I'm just like that. I'm selfless.
I know. This woman claims
that she thinks women
don't need to shower every day.
Take a listen.
They don't need to shower every day? Yeah, take a listen.
They need to shower less than once a day.
Less. Take a listen.
It may be even a double
standard. And I don't care. It has to be said.
Women don't shower every day.
And they don't have to.
We shower when we're ready.
Sometimes that's every day.
Sometimes it's every other day.
Sometimes it's every three days.
But it doesn't matter because we don't smell.
And we don't look dirty.
Men, however, if they don't shower every day, that's disgusting.
What?
Every three days?
Say what?
Now, look, I'm no expert in women's affairs,
but I'm pretty sure that down in the, you know, in the area.
Fragrant zones.
The fragrant zones.
Everyone has a fragrant zone.
Stuff happens daily, you know?
Like stuff's coming out the front, stuff's coming out the back.
You've got to wash that shit, man.
Literally. It's coming out the back. You've got to wash that shit, man. Literally.
It's a very bold claim.
Obviously, she's saying, you know, women shouldn't have to shower every day,
but she believes men have to.
Oh, I agree.
Men have to.
Men have to.
Not all of them do, but they have to.
But they should.
But they definitely should.
Should we do a quick snap poll?
Yes.
So you're a woman.
Yes.
I mean, I don't want to assume.
Do you identify as a woman?
Yes.
Okay, good to know. Do you shower every day? Yes. Yes, you mean, I don't want to assume. Do you identify as a woman? Yes. Okay, good to know.
Do you shower every day?
Yes.
Yes, you've already told us.
Anastasia, do you identify as a woman?
Yes, I do.
Do you shower every day?
Twice a day.
Would either of you ever go three days without a shower?
No.
I would say about myself, though, in wintertime, there might be a day or so where I skip a shower.
Really?
Yeah.
But would you, because you're a night showerer?
Night shower.
So you might go to the next night and not shower,
but then would you shower in the morning?
So what I'm trying to figure out,
would you go 36 hours or 48 hours without a shower?
Sounds like it's 48.
Really?
Oh, okay.
Well, get off your high horse then.
You like to skip showers too. No, but I'm saying it's very rare? Oh okay Well get off your high horse then You like to skip showers too
No but I'm saying it's very rare
If I didn't shower
Like very rare
If I didn't shower
I would feel like a grotty
Like
Like
Yeah same
Bush pig
I couldn't come to work
I'm gonna say like
There might be one day a year
Where I'd do that
Really?
But not a regular thing
Can you
When that day comes around
Can you flick us a text
Just let us know.
We'll just get Producer Ben to crack a window before you get here.
Mate.
Shut up, all of you.
I'll put extra deodorant on, okay?
Oh, thank you.
I'll wash myself with the rag before I come in. Play ZM's Brand Clint on Insta, Facebook, TikTok and live weekdays from 3 on ZM.
