The ZM Podcast Network Hey, what's going on everybody? Welcome to the Bricklin Podcast. A little situation update for our international listeners here in New Zealand. We're in week 7 of our lockdown and yesterday we were given an update on our situation, an advancement, new freedoms. We're allowed to have a picnic From midnight to night I don't even like fucking picnics

No one likes picnics I love picnics You do not You said to me yesterday I'm going to have to buy a picnic rug now I want a new one because I want a nice one To go on picnics because I love picnics I've got PTSD from picnics When I lived, what?

It's like where you have like bad memory. Trauma. Trauma. I do. Because last time I went on a picnic and I lived in Australia and the New Zealand listeners won't understand this, but the Aussie listeners will know exactly what I'm talking about. And I got bit on the vagina by a green ant.

Oh. I don't like ants green ants why were you wearing knickers i was but i was wearing like flowy shorts yeah and i think it bit me through my underwear were you on a date but that doesn't have anything to do with i actually was oh right it was it was it was it the most action that you got on that date? I mean, something did swell. Did anything else go in your undies on that date? No. Not after that.

I don't think you understand. If you get bit by a green ant, it actually- I don't understand. So let me explain to you. If you get bit by a green ant, it actually swells and goes red. It's so painful. I don't know. You don't want that.

Honestly, I hate it. Every date you go on these days, somebody just wants to get in your pants. I looked real lopsided by the end of the date. Did it bite? And I'll try and use the intimately correct term here. Okay, flap. Did it bite a flap? A flap on the outside, thank God.

And so one flap swelled. Yeah, one flap. I was lopsided. Yeah. And not even. You would look like Dumbo, but only in half flap. Yeah, I was lopsided Yeah And uneven You would look like You would look like Dumbo But only in half flight

Yeah I was Yeah I was not flying With full motion It was It was so bad Yeah so So

No we don't want picnics No Yeah Picnics are great I'm talking about An Auckland picnic Yeah well you'll get I'll tell you my picnic experience

I've only Planned a Pigeon couple of picnics in my life. The last picnic I organised, I did a fireworks display for the girl that I was taking on the picnic. The firecracker fell over. You're so Rotorua around here. I actually did it in Auckland, but the girl was from Rotorua. Yeah, so she would have loved it. You know that park on Mount Eden? Yes.

At the bottom, how there's that Mungafal Reserve bit there? It's got a little stage in there. So we sat on the stage and I went out into the middle of the reserve and set the fireworks. No, I didn't perform. I just lit a firework and then ran back to the playground. And did you cause a bushfire? No, it fell over and one of the chances,

it's got 360 degrees in which it could fall. It fell towards us and shot the fireworks at us. Oh, yeah. Yes, you're right. Sexy. Did you get another date after that? You could say on the date sparks flew. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah, the relationship lasted a very long time, actually. What a stupid girl. Did it actually? Yeah, it did. I think it was endearing. I like to think that she was like, oh my God, he's so clumsy and cute.

Yeah. I would have thought, what a fucking idiot. Yeah. Yeah, I would too actually on reflection. If my date shot me with a firework. Even if the firework hadn't have come straight at us, if someone was like, I'm going to go. I reckon the date's doomed

to fail well i just fireworks i'm trying to think of the terrible food i would have taken on it too we've definitely been crackers and one of those kiwi dip things oh yum oh that's actually pretty nice like do you ever think when you see someone setting off fireworks like amateur fireworks you ever think oh that's so cool no they, they should be cancelled. During the day, by the way. Oh, my. What's the fucking point? It was in summer. Look, I don't know.

I don't know who that person was. It was me, but a different version of me. It was frigging daylight. It's okay, man. We all move on. Yeah, we all make mistakes. God, you were working hard on that date. I was.

Working real hard. I would have thought I was, because it was out of fireworks season two, and I would have thought I was such a hero. Yeah, you're a dickhead. Because I had a supply of fireworks, and I was. Working real hard. I would have thought I was, because it was out of fireworks season two, and I would have thought I was such a hero. Yeah, you're a dickhead. Because I had a supply of fireworks, and I was like, I'll spend some of them on her. She'll appreciate this. You know those people you hate now?

Yeah. You were one of those people. Yeah. And they're still inside you somewhere. I can just imagine when your girls get older and you're like, hey, girl, I'm going to get set some fireworks. No, you know what the real risk is that you pass it on to your kids and then they're going to go through a...

Absolutely it's passed on. That's a genetic thing. I also think it's partially a boy thing. Yeah. Yeah. Someone messaged me on Instagram and they're doing a deep dive into our old podcast and they're currently listening to 2018. Well, that is a deep dive into our old podcast and they're currently listening to 2018 and well that is a deep dive yeah I I think Lucy my wife must at that stage be pregnant

with our first daughter Tui and apparently I said on that podcast the idea of having two daughters absolutely terrifies me and now you've got two Fast forward three years and I've got two daughters Yeah And it's good, I like having two daughters It's cool I like how your voice went real high pitch I love having two daughters Nah, girls are mean

I don't remember saying it, but they said that the origin of my fear Was mostly bathroom related Why? Because we only have one bathroom. Oh, because they take up a lot of time. Now there's three women to live with. Can I say, that's a misconception. Is it?

I take no time. But you also have two bathrooms. Yeah, but we only use one. Right, okay. I literally take no time to get ready. I feel like I shower, I'm not joking, I shower for no more than three minutes. It is a misnomer in that shower for no more than three minutes.

It is a misnomer in that my showers are longer than Lucy's. Yeah, but I think it's because the reason why I shower for three minutes, maybe less, is because I grew up in the country where we lived off tank water and I grew up in Australia, which was a drought. So I'm very water conscious plus no one cares how well stenciled your eyebrows are on the farm what? I was a kid

but you know I was 11 yeah but the point of what I'm saying is who are you trying to look good for? no one so you just get in and get out is that fair? is that a bad thing to say? no I wouldn't say that I think that offends country people country It's always good to ask, though. It's always good to ask.

Country people are hot, man. Yeah. Look at Shania Twain. Yeah. Bree's dad. Hey, can you not? You were saying today, Bree, your dad's tall, has a moustache, and a Ford Ranger. He does.

Can we just appreciate that? What, that is your type? Were you not here when we did the deep dive into Bree's dad? No, you weren't. It was while Ellie was here. We ended up posting photos of your hot dad. Got the people going. Big Steven loved this, by the way.

That one of them in the Acubra at the airport? My brother hates it, but my dad loves this attention. Yeah, I'm team Steve over Aiden. Does your mum like the attention that he gets? Because it's like a pat on the back Oh she doesn't care It's like when anyone says your partner's hot You go thank you I'll take that

Yeah they've been married for 40 years Yeah she'd probably be like yeah he's a bit of alright They're both catchers Yeah But it's not appropriate for me to say your mum's hot Then why'd you just say it? I didn't, and I won't. But I'll think it.

Well, maybe, to be honest, she'd probably love the attention. Oh, yeah. Nice. Nice. I'm just thinking about your dad. Are you? With his top off. You know, my mum told me a story about my dad this morning,

because they've just moved into their new house. You do not want to see my dad with his top off, by the way. Yes, I do. He is my type. I love a dad bod. This is a granddad bod. They've got no furniture. Love you, Dad, if you somehow figured out how to get a podcast

for the first time in your life. They've just moved into a new house, and there's no furniture there yet. So he slept on an airbed, and mum was a night delayed, so he got to the new house first, and he slept on the airbed by himself. And a night delayed. So he got to the new house first, and he slept on the airbed by himself. And in the morning, he's got a dicky knee, and he's had a bad sleep on the airbed.

He's old-ish. He couldn't get up. He couldn't stand up. And so in that situation, usually if you're in a bed, you just have to make your way to the edge of the bed. You can throw your feet onto the floor, right? And gravity kind of does the rest, and you can get up. He's on the floor already. So because there was no feet onto the floor, right? And gravity kind of does the rest and you can get up. He's on the floor already.

So because there was no furniture in the room, he had to crawl out to the hallway so he could get to a wall and a door handle that he could pull himself up on because he wasn't even like a bedside cabinet where he could get off the ground. I never want to get old, eh? No. I think it's actually my biggest fear. He's getting old.

He's booked for a knee replacement which wouldn't have helped but yeah can you imagine? You would think that was the end. You'd be like I'm stuck on the floor until my partner gets here. Your dad and my dad have similarities. My dad's got two bionic knees. It's all that generation that did manual labour their whole life. Is that a bit of you Anastasia?

He's got two bionic knees he's had a shoulder recon. This is the issue with having like three. He's had a bit done to his hips. He's got all the mod cons. He's had an epidural in his lower back. He's got Google Wi-Fi in every room of the house. But his hands.

Does he like picnics? His hands are strong. Good question. I'm assuming he likes a picnic. Every day is a picnic for him. He's an apple farmer. He takes his lunch with him in a little blanket. I feel like.

And if a green ant crawls up his trousers, he just says, come one, come all. The more, the merrier. My dad has been to a picnic. He goes, welcome to the picnic. Try the sausage. I remember one time my dad came home home and the Aussies will love this. He came home and I remember it was probably like a week after this had happened. I was like, dad, what's wrong with your arm?

And it was on his forearm. And it looked like just something had bit him. And he looked at me and he goes, yeah, got bit by a spider. Don't know what spider it is but I'm still here anyway like three weeks later this big patch of skin had all just died and it was just this massive wound yeah this is toxic masculinity by the way this is yeah my dad like quite literally he's got a toxic infection in his arm true blue Aussie go to the doctor nah he was fine go to the doctor rub some dirt he was fine. Go to the doctor. Rub some dirt.

No, you're setting a bad example, okay? Go to the doctor. Don't encourage that behaviour. He's all good. That's what makes men. She'll be right. You know? Well, to be honest, my dad, he does go to the doctor,

but he just thought, well, if it hasn't killed me yet, what are they going to do for me now? What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Kelly Clarkson's his favorite unless it's a spider bite that slowly eats away at your flesh it was disgusting i'm not gonna lie god my dad's got a few stories this i'll tell you one last story about my dad living on the farm so there's this um i can't remember exactly what it is but essentially when you're pumping water from one dam and you want to pump it out to somewhere else,

you have to use, it's essentially this pump thing that you attach to a tractor and it spins this big kind of machine and it pumps water out, right? My dad said to me one time that he was wearing, I can't remember, these like little bit flowy pants. Like they were like kind of like pants. Oh, girl, go off, big stick. But not flowy. They were just a little bit too big for him. Like they were like kind of like pants. Oh, go off, Big Steve. But not flowy. They were just a little bit too big for him.

Bellbottoms. Sleared? No, they were just work pants, but they were a little bit too big. Anyway, he said he was doing something around this big kind of machinery and all of a sudden his pants, the bottom of his pants, got caught in the bottom of the machine. And for people who work on the land or you know about these things, once you get caught in that machine, it actually pulls you into it and can kill you.

Anyway, my dad said that he realized that the machine had got the bottom of his pants and it was within a split second. He's like, I'm going here. This thing's going to rip my leg off. And so what he did was he's he grabbed this pole that was kind of like right next to the machine and just grabbed the pole and held on for dear life and the machine ripped his entire pair of pants off and he said the only thing that he reckons like kept him out of it was that the belt somehow structured the pants

so that it could give it a place where it just completely ripped off or else his legs would have come off. Just at this point, I just need to check in with Anastasia. How are you going? How's that? I know this is a dramatic story.

Is that too hot for you? Is that like... And then he was just standing there, no pants on. I'll make the joke, but I'm not participating in that sort of joke. That's my dad in a nutshell, those couple of stories. My dad is just, you're true. And then he came home with no pants on and Brie said,

Dad, what happened with your pants? And he goes, I don't know, but I'm still standing. And then Elgin John started playing. I don't know, but I'm still standing. And then Elgin John started playing. I'm still standing. He grabbed Bree's mum. He swept her up, took her to the bedroom. I was going to rip your pants off tonight. Are you meaning to say someone stole my thunder?

I was picturing Maury had an axe and he comes in and he goes, I've just been chopping wood out the back. And that's the story of how Bree's brother was conceived. Enjoy the podcast, everybody. We'll see you guys tomorrow. If my mum and dad are listening to this podcast, because they do sometimes, I hope I told the stories accurately.

This is what I was going to say. Since watching Squid Game, I now feel a bit bad for my, I mean, I wouldn't call it a gambling habit, but you know, like. How many episodes of Squid Game have you watched? Two.

I love that out of everything that happens in that show. Yeah, yeah. You feel bad about buying a lotto ticket. Well, I don't want to end up like the main guy on Squid Game down the horse track. What about the hundreds of people that die in that show? Well, it's a slippery slope, isn't it? Yeah, one minute you're buying a lotto ticket.

Yeah, next minute, red light, green light. Yeah, look out. How did they not license that red light, green light song for that show? Oh, yeah. Red light. Who sings that? Duke Dumont.

Is it? Should we have a quick look? Can't remember, but it was a banger. Ben,. Who sings that? Duke Dumont. Is it? Should we have a quick look? Can't remember, but it was a banger. Ben, who does that song? Is it Duke Dumont? I think it's called Red Light. Yeah, right. Just go and find it.

People are going to want to know what we're talking about now. They're going to be like, what song are you talking about? I don't think, I don't know. I doubt ZDM. I don't think ZDM would have it. I don't think we played it. I don't think we played it. We've only got Red Light, Green Light by DaBaby,

and we ain't playing that. Oh, Ben's got it for us. We got it? Yeah. See, this would give Squid Game a different feel, wouldn't it? All right, everyone, add a traffic light right now. You've got to wait for it. Doesn't it take like 15 minutes to get to the red light, green light?

And we will sit here until it goes green and we will release the cars. Today on the show, your chance at guessing the secret sound. Speaking of cash, 10 grand up for grabs at 4 o'clock and 5 o'clock today. That's going to be good. Oh yeah, secret sound. Can you turn that beat up a little bit? Yeah, we can. Yeah, sure.

Oh, that's a bit rude. Welcome to the show, Josh. Why Jiggle, Josh? Oh, a group of me and my mates went out to 10th and bowling one night, and we all wanted to come up with random names and for some reason that just popped in my head. And it stuck. Stuck for a while after that.

Get and jiggle with it. Na, na, na, na, na, na, na. Like Jason Derulo said, jiggle, jiggle, jiggle. Get and jiggle with it. Let's do this. Josh, your buzzer's tradie. Emily, yours is lady. Three points will win the game

The show that is breaking records at the moment is Squid Game, which sees a bunch of in-depth people take part in a series of childhood games. How many competitors compete in the games? Is it A, 490, B, 456, C, 450 or D, 451?

You've got a 25% chance here. It's worth a guess, guys. Lady? Yes, Emily, worth a guess. Is it B? It is B. That was a great guess, Emily. Great guess.

Well done. Nice work. You're on the board, the ladies with one. Question number two. Rhythm and Vines has become the first festival in New Zealand to require attendees to be fully vaccinated this summer. Where is R&V held?

Two South Islanders never attended Rhythm and Vines by the sounds of it. It's on the east coast of the North Island. It's the first place in the world to see the New Year's sunlight. It is Gisborne. Sorry, guys. No points for anyone on that one.

That's all right. Question number three. There was a global outage today for three major online platforms. Which three platforms? Ladies. Yes, Emily. Instagram, Facebook and WhatsApp. You got it.

Nice work. That's two to the ladies. Josh, you need this one to stop her, okay? Question number four. New Moon, Eclipse and Breaking Dawn are all movies from which... Emily, just... Twilight. She's done it.

She's a lady. Oh, oh, oh, she's a lady. She's got the giggles. She's a jack of all trades. And you knew a bit about everything there, Emily. Nice work. That's a first. That's a first.

Congrats. 50 bucks coming your way. Bree and Clint. I want to talk about a story of love, a story of love, and then also a story of divorce. Oh, okay. Because a guy is making headlines around the world after you know what? He found the one.

He found the one that he was meant to be with. So much so that he married and they were very happy. Good for him. Only until four days later he filed for divorce. After four days? Four days was

all it took. Irreconcilable differences? Yes, he knew he'd made a mistake. He married a household rice cooker. Sorry. Sorry. Actually? This is a true story.

He married a rice cooker? You don't mean to what? Discriminate against the rice cooker community? I don't mean to. This is a rice cooker. You don't mean to what? Discriminate against the rice cooker community? I don't mean to. This is a true story. We need to be serious. This is an actual true story. You need to be serious.

You need to tell me whether the story is serious. I'm trying. He was smitten with the rice cooker and he thought, I want to take this to the next level. So he married it. Where? Where can you marry a rice cooker? I'm not sure. Okay. But there was

photos of him and his lovely bride or groom, I'm not sure, didn't specify, where they signed documents. He kissed his new bride on the lid. On the lid. Hopefully not directly after a cock. Those things get very hot. Yeah. Anyway, he said there was plenty to admire about his new partner. Plastic Princess, so it must be a wife, is what he calls her.

Are you saying the rice cooker identifies as female? Is that what you're saying? Yes, I believe so. Good to know. Anyway, he then later, four days later, because everyone was expecting them to expect a bag of rice coming soon. Some grains of rice to pop out. Some grains of rice.

But unfortunately, four days later, he filed for divorce saying, although he thought she was loving, obedient, all she did was cook rice. Oh, spoiler alert, I could have told you that. I heard the rice cooker cheated on him. She found... A bread maker. Yeah, no, no, a wall socket.

She was sticking it in a wall socket. Yeah. I mean, you know, do what makes you happy. There was that woman who married a chandelier. She had an infinity with chandeliers. We've spoken about her on the show before. There's a video of a guy who makes love to his Mazda MX-5. Yes, I've seen him before.

The red car? Yeah, red car. Yeah, she's a hot little number, actually. Topless. Yeah, topless, actually. Yeah, a little bit risque. I thought this afternoon because he obviously

said I do to the rice cooker. We should have a conversation about what household item would you marry because you love it so much. If you could. I feel like, are we bringing back what's your gadget? It's kind of a weird version of what's your gadget, isn't it?

What's your gadget that you would marry if you could? Yeah. Okay. I feel like we'll bring that segment back. Stupid idea. This is a stupid idea and I can't believe we're doing it, but I'd marry my air fryer. Oh, yeah.

I get the rice cooker thing. It's convenient, but what a boring appliance to marry. There is nothing you can't cook in an air fryer except for soap. Can you cook rice? No, and rice. That's a great point. Let me rephrase. There's nothing you can't fry in an air fryer.

Right. So anything friable. Getting an air fryer earlier this year genuinely changed my life and I would like to commit myself to my air fryer for the foreseeable future. Well, there you go. If anyone objects to this holy union, please stand up now and have your say. Producers, do you object?

Anyone? Nope, that's a successful union. There we go. Please kiss the air fryer. What's your appliance? Go and marry something. I feel like rice cooker would be up there for me. Yeah, rice cookers are brilliant.

Do you have one? Wait a minute, you don't have a rice cooker. We've got Thermomix, so it kind of does it for it. And I would marry the Thermomix. It's a rich man's rice cooker. Yeah, Thermomix is sexy, that's for sure. Should we take some calls this afternoon on household appliances that you want to marry? Yeah, that's for sure. Should we take some calls this afternoon on household appliances that you want to marry?

Yeah, that you love it so much. You love it so much that you would get down on one knee and split your assets with it. That's right. Who is it? Who are you saying I do with? 0800 dial ZM or you can text us on 9696. Maybe you don't want to marry it.

Maybe you just want to have one steamy weekend away with it. Oh, yeah, the floor steamer. That'd be good for that. Keeping up to date with the news just became a little easier. As at Herald's new podcast, the front page is your short, sharp daily news podcast. Join me, Damien Venuto, every weekday morning as I chat with journalists and newsmakers

Listen to the front page at nzherald.co.nz slash podcasts and follow us on iHeartRadio or wherever you get your podcasts. Guys made headlines after he decided he wanted to marry his rice cooker and then realised it wasn't true love and divorced the rice cooker four days later. Rice cookers are incredibly cheap. They are real cheap and they're brilliant.

I use our rice cooker at least three times a week. I called it boring. It's a necessity. I take it back. I think it's quite genius. Yeah. It cooks it perfectly. I know it does, but it's, I know.

But rice is boring, you know, because it's the base of the meal. You know? I know it's essential. What about fried rice? No, that's different. You don't cook fried rice in a rice cooker. You can. Can you?

Yeah. What, the whole meal can be cooked in the rice cooker? I don't know, but I'll give it a go. I'll give it a crack. Can a rice cooker do rice risotto? I think so. Like, if you just stood there and constantly stirred it, could you do rice risotto in a rice cooker? I'd give it a crack. Can a rice cooker do rice risotto? I think so. Like if you just stood there and constantly stirred it, could you do rice risotto in a rice cooker?

Probably. I'd say so. All right, well then I need to retract my comments about rice cookers. And it makes, what about coconut rice? Mmm, yum. Coconut rice, I love rice. We're asking you what appliance you want to marry this afternoon. There's one that's had a lot of messages in. We don't have anyone on the phone saying this one.

But it's the, how do we say this? How did I not say this one? It's the most logical one to say. Ben, can you get the sound effect for it? Get the sound effect for the one that's come in more than any. It's a toy that is only for adults. Yeah. Yeah.

Probably all we need to say. People know. People know. Teresa. Hello. Oh, no. Teresa. Hello. Teresa, hi. How are you doing? Good, thanks. Are you saying what we're talking about?

Well, you know, if I was going to marry a device, it would definitely be one that kind of plugs in and vibrates. Wait, plugs in? Yeah, yeah, yeah. This is news to me. Oh, my God, have you not got a plug-in one? No, I'm living in 2021. Well, you know, when the batteries run flat,

you can have kind of an issue. So plug-in. Yeah, you don't want it to run flat. That's the one appliance that you really don't want to run out of batteries, is it? No, and trust me, I've had it happen. It's a plug-in EV, isn't it? It's like a Tesla. It's a plug-in EV, a plug-in electric vibe.

You know my friend, Teresa, she's got a petrol-powered one. The issue is, though, if she doesn't get the two-stroke mix right, the bedroom gets very smoky. It gets overheated. Oh, it would. But no, no. Definitely plug in is the way to go.

All right. We'll draw up the marriage papers now and we'll see you guys set for the rest of your lives together. You'll be very happy. Let's go to Louise. Hi, Louise. Hello.

Louis, tell us what's the item that you're so obsessed with you'd marry it? Louise. Hi, Louise. Hello. Louis, tell us. Oh, Louis. Sorry, Louis. What's the item that you're so obsessed with you'd marry it? It'd be my fridge, my Coca-Cola fridge. Tell us more about the Coca-Cola fridge. Well, you've got to have somewhere to store your Coca-Cola, so I just, yeah. How extra are you that you've got your own separate fridge

for just your Coca-Cola? Oh, it's a, yeah. Did the Coca-Cola company recognise you as a very valuable customer and supply you your own Coke fridge? How did this come about?

I think I need a job, don't I? Yeah. Quick. Bree and Clint. Later. From iHeartRadio, this is The Latest. Live from LA with Dean McCarthy. All right, Dean, tell us.

It's another one of these stories where Jennifer Aniston has spoken about a movie role that she turned down back in the day. She did. She turned down a very famous movie because she wanted to distance herself from rom-coms, which is hilariously ironic because hasn't she done about 100 of them? I don't know. Back in 2000, this is what she did. She turned down the very iconic role in 2001 for Serendipity,

which eventually starred Kate Beckinsale. This movie was absolutely enormous. Not that Jennifer Aniston's career was at all hurt, let's be honest. She's still killing it years and years later. But there you go, a role that she turned down. I love hearing about actors when they turn things down. You can't imagine anyone other than Kate Beckinsale being in that film. Yeah, it's quite interesting. That's the one with John Cusack.

And correct me if I'm wrong, Dean, that's the movie where they meet and they have this amazing, like, chance meeting and this amazing date. And at the end of the date, he says to her, like, can I have your number? And she gets a book and she writes her number in a book and she says, if you find this book, like, that means we're meant to meet or something. Oh, my God.

Yes, like that. Anyway, it's like 10 years later and... Oh, don't give away the ending to serendipity. Yeah, you just ruined it. I haven't seen it yet. And he gets given that book on his wedding day as a gift from his fiancée because she knows that he's been collecting that particular book. Oh, is that how it goes?

It's a great movie. It's very good. Jennifer Aniston has finally gotten away from the rom-com thing with The Morning Show. It's a fully serious... There's nothing funny about The Morning Show. She's doing a fully serious role. And Steve Carell, actually. Quite a dark role, isn't it?

I mean this in a nice way. It's the least funny thing either of them have ever done. Yeah. It shows how versatile they are, though. She's incredible. He's incredible. Yeah. That one's on Apple TV+, if you want to watch it.

Thank you, Dean McCarthy, our Hollywood correspondent. That's brought to you by Pepsi Max. Max tastes no sugars given. Bree and Clint. Vaccinations. Max tastes no sugars given. Brian Clint. Vaccinations, it's all the rage. R&V today announced Rhythm and Vines said that you need to be fully vaccinated to attend Rhythm and Vines this year. I think that's an awesome move.

I think that's a really cool way to lead the charge. Also, you're in a sweaty mosh pit with people. Nobody wants to get COVID at Rhythm and Vines, do they? No, you're already dealing with a bunch of other things that can hinder your health, like a hangover. You're already going to feel shit enough on the first. You don't want COVID as well. There are people out there who have a genuine fear,

not of the vaccine, but of needles. And I get that. If that's your thing, then this would be scary, you know, to go and get jabbed. Have you got needle phobia? No, I mean, I wasn't super keen on them go and get jabbed. Have you got needle phobia? No. I mean, I wasn't super keen on them when I was a kid. You don't love them.

Just like, no, it's not like I'm like, ooh, yeah, get me in there. I think the ones I'm most scared of are the ones where you have to give blood. Where they draw blood and you can see down the eye of it. They're quite painful, those, to me. But ones in the arm I'm quite good with. Well, the Vaxx one, if you are scared and that's what you're worried about, it's really thin. Like, it's the thinnest needle I good with. Well, the vax one, if you are scared and that's what you're worried about, it's really thin. It's the thinnest needle I've seen. It goes in your buttock.

It doesn't go in your buttock. Can you elect to have it in your buttock, though? I don't know. Because I feel like it'd be worse. You're asking for health advice that I can't give. I'm not going to say I'm going to go in there and go, can you put it in my buttock? They have to vaccinate millions of people.

That's too many butts to get out. They need to go for the arm. Here's a clip that was on 7 Sharp last night. Ben Hurley was speaking to a man at a drive-through vaccination centre in Whangamata

who has a needle phobia. Legitimate needle phobia. I want you to picture this guy. Big, burly man. He's a tough guy. He's got a beard. He's got tattoos

down his arm. He's wearing a singlet. He looks like he could arm wrestle your arm off. And he's scared of needles. Have a listen. And the good people of Whangamata are turning out in droves. So great that you guys are doing this.

Is this first or second jab? First jab for me. I'm on a different day. I've already had my first jab. And he has a needle phobia, which is why I've come. Yeah, I'm a big chicken with needles. But I tell you, my dad, and he says to me, the bigger you are, the bigger the needle.

And he said, you're really big, so they'll probably need a spear. That's not fair. His dad scared him about needles before he even got there. That guy's so funny. That was hilarious. They don't need a spear. It's the same size needle for a big person or a small person. Do you want to hear him directly after he got vaccinated?

Yeah. So this is a person who has a needle phobia. They've faced their fear for the greater good. It's such a real fear too. Totally. Any fear that you have, rational or irrational, it's real and it's real to you. Because try and think about it if you're not scared of that particular thing and you're like judging someone. You're like

oh get over it. Think of a fear you have. And then they stick that in you. And then it's the same feeling. So there's a guy who's needle phobic. This is him directly after receiving the COVID-19 vaccination. Well done. And they were sore. No, I'm joking. No, they were cool.

Alright, how are we feeling? The same. I mean, nothing different. Hang on. They give me a lollipop. That guy's good TV. But he's sucking a lollipop. That guy's good TV. But he's sucking a lollipop underneath his face mask. He had to lift his blue paper face mask out of the way and then take the lollipop. That's commitment.

That is commitment from that guy. If he can do it, you can do it. So go and get vaccinated, New Zealand. Bree and Clint. Quite an interesting story out today. A study, which I heard Fletcher and Megan talking about this this morning, and it's a study they've done over in Aussie where they research what are the main reasons people have been dumped

by a romantic partner for. Okay. So they interviewed about over 1,000 people. Yep. And they asked them this question. And from the data, it turns out that, yeah, due to financial troubles, research has shown that is the most common reason people have been dumped. Money problems.

Yeah, so they've broken it down into different categories as well. So it revealed that 13% of the respondents had been through a breakup due to their financial situation. Some of the different things were no savings, unpaid debt, and poor financial knowledge were the main reasons for those breakups. Yeah, right. I get that. If you're on your path to buying your first home and you're putting away 25% of your pay or whatever you've decided and you're building up a deposit and you want to buy with this person you're with and they're blowing it all on, you know, Pokemon cards. But it could be that in their past maybe they, you know,

have chosen a different path than what you have. You chose to save all your money, you know, because you want to buy a house and they chose to go overseas and do gap years and spend all their money. So I guess it's that situation where you're like, oh, we're not really in the same place financially. Like I'm ready to buy a house hopefully in the next couple of years, but the other person isn't. It can cause like a few, you know, conversations within the relationship. Maybe it's not that big too. Maybe it's more just social.

You like to go out with your friends. I want to go do this. It costs money. Go out for dinner, split the bill kind of thing, and they don't want to spend any money. They're tight. For whatever reason, they don't want to spend any money, and it's just driven a wedge between you guys socially,

and it means you can't date anymore, you know? Yeah. Maybe you buy really good birthday presents and they don't and you're like, you're a tight arse. Let's end this. Would you, if you were in a relationship and they bought you real average birthday presents, would that change what you bought them for their birthday?

That's such a good question. Look, it depends whose birthday came first, doesn't it? Well, let's just say you've both had a birthday. Yeah. And so you've both bought each other a present. Their birthday comes around again. Yeah, yeah. I haven't had this, but my wife gives great gifts,

but I feel like if the other person was putting in zero effort and you were putting in max effort, over time you would meet them down at the zero effort area. You'd go, why am I bothering if you're not bothering? Yeah. You know? Yeah, it does take a little bit of the shine off of it if you want to go all out, doesn't it?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I thought we could ask people this afternoon on 0800DIALZM, has this been the reason for a breakup? It's the most common reason for breakups in Australia. Has it been a reason you've broken up? So what are we taking? Financial stress? Just financial differences?

Yeah, just financial differences. It can be about anything. It could be like the reasons that they gave. No savings, unpaid debt, poor financial knowledge. Maybe you were the person that got broken up with. Maybe they earn $100,000 a year and they still expected you to go 50-50 on absolutely everything. Yeah.

Could be that too. Too tight on you. Was money the reason that you broke up? Oh, $800 at M. Or you can text us on 9696. We want to know this afternoon about your breakups. You can remain anonymous if you'd like as well. Bree and Clint. A study out today done on Australians revealed that the top reason people are getting dumped

is because of financial stress. Different things like savings, if they're in debt, and if they have no knowledge about financial situations. One in eight people, they break up because of financial issues. And you know what? Now that I think about it, money is the source and not just in relationships of a lot of different arguments or stress in life. It's one of the uncomfortable conversations you have to have with someone, eh? When you're figuring out if you're a match.

You don't have to have money. You just have to be on the same page about money. Exactly, yeah. You have to have the same opinion when it comes to how it should be treated. Exactly. So we've asked you this afternoon on 0800DIALSATM, did you break up because of money? This person wants to remain anonymous.

Hello, anonymous. Hi, anonymous. Hey, how are you? Good, thanks. What was the situation in your relationship? So I was with my now ex-partner for four years. Not once did he contribute to our home life. Um, no rent payment, no food payment.

Didn't help with anything. Yeah. Um, and then in our last year of our relationship, I fell pregnant. Yeah. Um, and I kind of just like tried to like hang in there. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, you know, as you do, there's a baby on the way. But then he never contributed to anything for the baby,

nothing for the nursery. Yeah, so you had an extra child in the relationship. Yeah, yeah. Anonymous, how can I ask, what would he spend his money on if he wasn't contributing to, you know, bills or anything to do with... Yeah. Do you know what? I actually don't know, because he anything to do with... Yeah. Do you know what? I actually don't know because he never bought anything for himself either.

But he'd go, you know, he'd go away on weekends with the boys. So that, that's what he was spending. And things like that, yeah. Like he'd go away for weekends with the boys or, you know, he'd go out for the night with the boys. But it was, yeah, he'd never buy anything. How's the child support payments?

Are they coming through thick and fast? Do you know what? I don't actually think I've received child support payments, to be honest. I don't think you would. You should look into that. They'll back pay you, Anonymous. That's good. Thank you for calling us.

Let's talk to another Anonymous person. Hello, Anonymous. Hi, Anonymous. Hi there. Did money cause a stress in your relationship? It wasn't the main stress, but we got offered a trip for free by my parents and he turned it down because he wanted to pay for it himself. Yeah. And so I ended up going without him because he didn't want them to pay for it.

But he didn't have the money to pay for it either. Right. So he was too proud to just be like, okay, I can accept this gift. Yeah. And you would rather have had him on the trip? Yeah, definitely. Yeah, right. I mean, if he couldn't have paid for the whole trip,

but maybe if he could have contributed a bit of it, it would have made him feel better instead of missing out completely. Yeah, he just was just too proud and he just completely refused to go. Did your parents offer afterpay? Could he do an afterpay service with them? That's awkward, isn't it? Lay away. He was also all about having the money to pay for something

so that he definitely wouldn't have been, like he didn't want to pay anything on lay-by or anything like that. Yeah, right. So you reckon that financial difference in you guys was one of the main reasons you guys broke up in the end? It wasn't the main reason. We definitely had different views on spending time with family and for me, value was a big factor,

but it definitely came into it probably near the end. Yeah, there you go. Yeah, it affected it definitely. Well, thank you, Nona. Must thank you for sharing. Yeah, quite interesting. Some people have texted through because we were talking about the gifts thing, like if your partner really doesn't put in any effort.

And it's not about the price of things. It's about the effort and the thought. And they said, my ex wasted all of their money on going out and golf. I saved and made everything happen and bought thoughtful and semi-expensive gifts for him. One year I got nothing for Christmas and another year I got a bottle of wine, WTF, only, also only because he was, oh, I can't read that part out. Oh, okay, good.

I'm glad you pre-read it towards the end there. You know what's crazy is I did pre-read it. I don't understand people who don't have a Christmas present. At least a card, right? Yeah, just something, like write a nice card. How awkward is it opening your gift if you didn't give a... Very awkward. Bree and Clint.

Now, though, I have had one of my online purchases show up and I wanted to bring it in and show you. I'd like to get your thoughts on it. I told you how I'm on the quest to find the perfect pair of undies. So I'm buying a single pair of undies from a bunch of different places. Oh, you can't bring that in here to the office. My undies? That's a pair of arseless chaps.

It's not arseless. Why have you brought that in? Excuse me. Nobody can see that you're lying, okay? Now HR has to get involved. And you wear it. No, don't put them on. I'm just kidding.

No, but usually if I was to hand you a pair of my underpants in the workplace, HR would have to get involved. Yeah. These are clean. These have not been, they haven't even been taken out of the container yet. I've worked in radio a long time and I know these games, they go on.

There's no trick here. I'm going to toss you the undies. And soon as I smell them, you're going to go, yeah, I farted in those. No one asked you to smell them. Well, they're mint flavoured ones. I was actually going to ask you to smell them, but I thought it weird that you assumed that I wanted you to smell them. Grab those, give them a sniff.

I've purchased a pair of scented underpants and not from a kinky store, from a regular undie distributor. It smells like a hospital. Does it? Give it to me. You smell that. Oh, yeah.

Does it have that hospital doctor's surgery vibe? It's got a little bit of an antiseptic vibe to it, doesn't it? Yeah. I haven't worn these yet. Obviously, I wouldn't have given them to you to sniff if I had. But scented undies, not these ones specifically, the concept of scented undies, yay or nay? I think it's a no from me.

Like, first of all, how long does it last? I'm trying to figure out where the scent is coming from too. How bad do you smell down there that you have to hide it with a scent? This is the thing. I didn't intentionally buy them because they were scented. I bought them because apparently they're quite a good pair of undies. Yeah, well, that's what you tell on us, isn't it? The fibres that they're made with.

Imagine if you buy these scented underwear and you go on a date and then one thing leads to another and you eventually, you know, are at that point in the night and then at some point you're going to have to explain why your underwear smells minty. It's a really good point that you're making. I think it's just a bit weird. I personally am not at risk of that. I'm not going on a date where I'm going to go home with someone

and they are interested in the smell of my undies. But, yeah, I also, now that I'm really bur go home with someone and they are interested in the smell of my undies. But yeah, I also, now that I'm really burying my nose in them, I think it's the crotch region that the scent is concentrated in. You ever sniff? No, no, no, they're clean. I don't want to know. I don't want to

sniff your crotch. Again, HR, I hope you're listening to this. Clint's asking me to sniff his crotch. It's coming out wrong, okay? We'll just end it here. Brie and Clint. But first, let's have a round of the new name game.

I want to talk about this story. This UK couple have claimed that they are the youngest grandparents in the UK.

Okay. Is that a title that you want? Well, they're proud of it. I mean, everyone's happy and healthy and they're saying they think they've dubbed themselves the UK's youngest grandparents. Yeah, right. So the grandmother's name is Jenny and her partner's name is Richard. And when Jenny was 17, she became a mother to a daughter. And then her daughter did the exact same thing and gave birth when she was 17.

Like mother, like daughter. Yeah. So she's 33 and her partner's 35 and they're claiming they're the youngest grandparents. 33. 33 and you're a grandparent. That's wild, eh? That's crazy. You know what's cool about that is that you get to spend so much time, like extra time

with your grandchildren. Yeah. Which is quite cool. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, absolutely. You know what else is cool is that if you took out your grandchild, people would think that was your daughter or your son.

Yeah. You are at an age where most people are having their first kid. Yeah. And you're having grandchildren, you know? It's quite interesting, isn't it? It would suck to be a grandparent and not be retired though, you know? Yeah. Or any time soon.

Not all grandparents are retired but they're not even close to retirement. The only person that sucks for is the mother and the father because they don't get free childcare. My mum and dad, I tell you, they're a full-time babysitting business these days. Yeah. Your mum's made herself too available. That's the problem.

Yeah. Well, they live right next to each other. And she loves that damn kid too much. They do love it. Being a grandparent looks awesome. I hope I get to be a grandparent one day. I reckon being a grandparent is like all the awesome stuff of being a parent without any of the hard stuff.

Yeah. My grandparents were awesome. Like I remember my nan just being so like cool and just anything she would just get involved. Like she'd take us to the local swimming pool and she'd whip out her bathing suit and just, you know, she'd do it all. She'd jump in the water. And how old was she?

She wouldn't have been young. You think 60s, eh? When you think grandparents when you're a kid, you think 60s. I think she was in her 70s. Yeah, right. I want to say. Yeah, yeah. But, you know, she'd just get involved and then she'd also run around and hit us with her false teeth that she'd take out.

Oh, mine too. Yeah. She'd be like, I'm going to get you and she'd pretend to bite us with the teeth. Hopefully you're not doing that as a 33-year-old grandparent. No. Should we talk to some young grandparents this afternoon, though? I want to go on a hunt for some young grandparents here in New Zealand. I want to find New Zealand's youngest grandparents. Yep.

And I don't know how young we're going to go. I don't want to get much younger than 33. You start to run into some age bracket issues. But I mean, yeah. Are you 30? Are you in your 30s? And are you a grandparent? Okay, there you go.

We'd love to hear from you this afternoon. 0800 DIAL ZM. Or you can text us on 9696. We're looking for young grandparents. Bree and Clint. Right now, a couple in the UK have dubbed themselves the youngest grandparents in the UK after they became grandparents at the age of 33 and 35.

Yeah, yeah. I reckon they've got a good chance of being the youngest. Yeah, that's pretty young to be a grandparent. Yeah, and they've got a good chance of becoming great grandparents one day too. Yeah, absolutely. So we're asking this afternoon, we're on our own hunt to find New Zealand's youngest grandparents and someone

on the text machine was like, sounds like you're on a hunt to find some hot grandparents and absolutely we are. I guess we kind of are. Yeah. Okay, who is New Zealand's hottest grandparent? Is it you, Carl? It's my partner's parents. Oh, okay. Okay. How old were they when they became grandparents? 47 and 49.

Oh, okay. They're pretty young. And did you make them grandparents? Yeah, four months ago. Wow. Congratulations. Nice work. Are you guys young or were they young when they had your partner?

So she was, her mum was young Yeah, yeah, right. Yeah, right. Yeah, there you go. And her grandad so my partner's grandad 60.

wouldn't it be? Yeah, hey Robin. G'day Robin. Hi. Is it you? That. Hey, Robin. G'day, Robin. Hi. Is it you that's a yummy grandma? To be honest, I am a grandmother, but I was actually referring to my mother. Okay. Okay.

She was 20 when she had my sister, who was 16 when she had her daughter. Wow. So that makes her 36. My mum was 36 and my dad was 37. Did she appreciate being called Grandma or Nana when she was 36? Nana. Nana. Nana.

I think so. She's pretty happy. I've got a photo. Well, I don't get to keep it. Mother's got a photo of her mother my grandmother my grandmother my mother, my sister

I had my daughter at 17 and my daughter had her daughter at 18. So I was 35. My husband was 41. Wow. Sam, can I ask? Does it make you guys super close? Because, you know, you're all like so young. Does it make you super close like when you're growing up together like that?

It really does. Me and my daughter are super, super close and often get mistaken for sisters. You'd be more like your big sister. Yep, yep. She'd hate that, but yep. But it is really nice to see your grandkids grow up. So my granddaughter's just turned 10.

I've got a two-year-old grandson as well. We just have got to spend so much time with them, well. We just have got to spend so much time with them and we're going to get to spend so much time with them. Oh, that's so cool. Yeah. Well, congratulations. You are New Zealand's hottest grandma. Oh, awesome.

Yummy, yummy. Yeah. Yummy, gummy. Yeah. That's what I'd call my grandmother if she was that old. Bree and Clint. Hey. It's my birthday.

It's my birthday. Bree and Clint's Birthday Banger. Right, Birthday Banger time. This is where we take your guys' birthdays and we figure out what was the song topping the charts on your 16th birthday. We'll start with Amon. Kia ora, Amon.

Kia ora. Hello, Amon. What's your birthday, mate? 10th of the 5th, 95. All right, mate, you were 16 in 2011. And on the 10th of May, your 16th birthday, this was number one. This is such a weird song. You get the song where Katy Perry was in love with an alien. It's called E.T. I don't mind that song.

It was one of her biggest hits. Do you like it, Eamon? Yeah, it's all right. It's all right. Not my favourite, but... Fair enough. No, we like the honesty here. We're doing for Ryan.

Kia ora, Ryan. G'day, Ryan. Hey. How's your Tuesday going? Oh, not bad. I'm on my way home. Yeah, nice. Perfect.

Well, let's top it off with your birthday, Banger. What's your birthday? 14th of November, 1990. All right. You were 16 in 2006. And on the 14th of November in 2006, this had a number one hit. They were the biggest band in the world at the time. You get Green Day.

And U2, CoLab. Oh, that's right. Yeah, it was U2 and Green Day, yeah. Do you like it, Ryan? Oh, it takes me back. Yeah, right. Yeah, I remember that track. It was pretty big.

One of U2's many attempts to stay relevant with the kids. They just vampired off Green Day. No, stop hating on U2. Let us suck your youthful blood for a second. You leave Bono alone. Coldplay are doing the same thing right now with BTS. They're like, let us have some of your youthful blood for a second. You leave Bono alone. Coldplay are doing the same thing right now with BTS. They're like, let us have some of your youth, BTS.

Let the kids know who we are. What voice is that? Me, I'm a vampire. One more for Hannah. Kia ora, Hannah. Hi, Hannah. Hi, how's it going? Good, how are you? Good, thank you. That's good to hear. Hannah, what's your birthday? 21st of February

1992. Alright, Hannah. What's your birthday? 21st of February, 1992. All right, Hannah, you were 16 in 2008. And back in 2008 on the 21st of Feb, this was number one. Banger. That's a banger. Flow rider. You know, Hannah, it's interesting. This has been my theme song for lockdown.

I'm like, to the window, and then I can only go to the wall. To the wall. That's a different song. Is it? Yeah, that's the Ying Yang Twins. Same era. Same thing, right? I think you're going to say because you haven't got out of the boots with the fur or lockdown, but that's what you're saying.

The other song didn't come up, so I had to do the gag for this song, right? Hannah, wait there. We've got to make our decision. You can't choose the Ying Yang Twins, although I wish you could. Great song. Wait, so what song is that? Get Low. Get Low.

Yeah. Boom, boom, boom, boom. Boom, boom, boom, boom. Boom, boom, boom, boom. Yeah, it is. It's get low, right? Oh, that's why I got confused. Can I play with your pendulum? Yeah, that one.

Through the window where the sweat dropped out my balls. Okay, let's pick the songs. That one's not up for grabs. E.T., The Saints Are Coming or Flo Rida, Low. I don't know. I'm torn today. I'm not picking that U2 song. Sorry, Ryan.

Love you. Not picking that. I'm going to vote for Flo Rida Low. Yeah, it's got a good vibe. It's got a good vibe, right? I mean, the Ying Yang twins have been good. I mean, you didn't know what it was originally. Should we do Window to the Wall?

That's a bit of a tune. Hey, Hannah, you just won Birthday Banger. Thanks so much. Hannah, sing it with me. To the window! To the wall! Brian Clint. I'm going to go have a lie down after that.

Here on ZM. Brian Clint. Is anyone else out there? Is anyone else? Is it zombie apocalypse? It felt like it this morning. It was real weird. I got up and this sounds so horrible, but you go onto your phone.

Yeah, first thing you do. You do a scroll. Check the apps. Have a look. And I was like, oh, our internet's down. Worst timing because, you know, we're in lockdown. And then I was positive it was our internet. And then I slowly figured out it was because Facebook was down.

Yeah. And Instagram. And everyone in our generation goes, no, I'm not really on Facebook. I don't use it. It's not really my thing. It's more of a boomer thing. And then when it goes down, you realize Facebook control everything.

Well, Messenger goes down. Messenger goes down. Instagram goes down. Your ability to just sit there and watch endless Instagram stories goes down. And WhatsApp. You can't even WhatsApp each other. No, and for people like that have family or friends overseas, it can cause quite a headache because a lot of people use Messenger

or WhatsApp or Instagram even to communicate to people. Yeah. You know? So it can be quite annoying. But also what it does when this happens is it shows how reliant we are on one company, Facebook. That's why Zuckerberg's worth $117 billion because he owns everybody's attention. His product is literally the first thing that most people do when they wake up and the last thing they do at night. Too much power.

Yeah. I say we take Zuckerberg down. And if you're listening, kidding. Kidding, Zuckerberg. much power yeah i say we take zuckerberg down and if you're listening kidding kidding zuckerberg did you know that that blackout this morning cost zuckerberg personally at white 8.5 billion dollars off his network oh he should be all right though he's got another 117 117 billion yeah he'll be fine but isn't it crazy that that one outage you you know? It was for a long time too. So apparently the outage has been blamed on a domain name system failure. Okay.

Whatever that means. But then there's all these other conspiracy theories. Did someone go to facebook.co.nz by mistake? Is that what it was? But there's all these conspiracy theories flying around and then there's that story about how Facebook employees couldn't use their swipe cards to get into the building to fix it. And, I mean, the world's just gone nuts.

Yeah. But I thought off the back of that, I could maybe give a few tips and tricks about different platforms that you should now rely on because if this happens again. Yeah, I see what you're saying. You've got to diversify your social portfolio. So if of your pillars falls down your social house stays standing okay cool exactly so here's my list uh obviously you know twitter twitter was booming this morning yeah i really liked uh the tweet that twitter sent out and it was literally i think they said hello

literally everyone. Because they knew that people were going to come to Twitter and figure out what was going on. Good timing. So Twitter's a great one. Obviously, you've got to throw it back, dust off the old MySpace. Everybody says this is a joke. Have you tried to go to the MySpace website?

Yeah, I've logged into my MySpace a few times over the years. Have you done it recently? It is a bad place for me. Yeah, right. Because I can't logged into my MySpace a few times over the years. Have you done it recently? It is a bad place for me. Yeah, right. Yeah. Because I can't get into my account. I can't get into Clintus the Freshmaker. Oh, I don't think that's a loss for you, actually.

What about your Bebo account? Yeah, same thing. Jump back on Bebo, does similar things. Why not? Get the wall going. I thought we could also revive Vine. Bring Vine back. Well, Vine was down this morning too, wasn't it?

Yeah. I went on to check. Is anyone else's Vine down? Yeah. Is it back up yet? Producers? Vine's outage has been like 10 years. It's been a while.

It's a long one. Yeah, it's been a while. What about jump on LimeWire? LimeWire. LimeWire was the vibe back in the day. Yeah. Producer Ben, you love to pirate things. You would have loved LimeWire. LimeWire. LimeWire was the vibe back in the day. Yeah. Producer Ben, you loved to pirate things. You would have loved LimeWire.

Yeah, loved it. I don't think it's really a social media platform, though. No, I'm just saying these are other things you can do. No, good way to share your nudes, though. Yeah, it was. Yeah. Safe, real safe. And it's on the internet.

What about Periscope? Oh, yeah. That was a moment. That was the video-watching one, eh? So Periscope was essentially the first, like, Instagram live. Live streaming where you could go live. It was bolted onto Twitter, eh? You could jump on.

You had to Periscope through Twitter. I can't remember. I think it was. Yeah, Periscope. Let's bring that back. And then, of course, Pinterest. Oh, how good. Pinterest hasn't gone away.

You just don't use it. Pinterest is a fantastic. Oh, how good. Pinterest hasn't gone away. You just don't use it. Pinterest is fantastic platform. Pinterest is good. I've just added a Pinterest button to my desktop. So if I see a picture, I can pin it quickly to my boards. I got a couple of boards running.

I got a couple of Pinterest boards running. Don't you laugh at me. There'll be somebody out there right now who's planning their wedding who has a banging Pinterest page. I used to love Pinterest. I'm not going to lie. I was all about that Pinterest life. But I haven't been back to that platform for a while.

I'm not going to lie. What about Bring Back the OG, MSN Messenger? I say bring back the goat. MSN Messenger, and I'll put my name to this, was the best messaging platform ever. Yeah, we peaked early. It peaked soon. It had everything we needed.

You could change your font. You could change your username. You could tell it to tell certain people to tell them that you were offline, even though you weren't offline. It was brilliant. It was the best platform I've ever used and the reason why I can type so many words per minute. And you know what?

Here's its real strength. It worked on dial-up. Sometimes you can't get Instagram to load on 4G coverage. MSN Messenger never failed you on a dial-up connection. Let's revive it. I say, let's revive it, and then we can do those things where you secretly add someone into the chat and then you ask your friend what they think about them and then boom, you got them.

Yeah, actually it could be a bad idea. Yeah, maybe don't bring it back. Data has been revealed about who are the drivers most likely to receive a speeding ticket based on the car that they own. All right, interesting. You'll be safe. It's not Mitsubishi. What are you driving?

Pajero? Pajero. I wish. Pajero is the top of the line. Yeah, yeah. Mitsubishi ASX? ASX. No, it's not the ASX.

No? I wouldn't think it was. It's only a 1.5 litre. And before you make the joke, it's not Audi drivers either. Are you sure? No, not Audi drivers. Didn't you get two tickets in the first two weeks of owning that car? Some people don't know that, okay?

No, the results are in. And the drivers most likely to receive a speeding ticket for the third year in a row. Oh, what an honour. Subaru WRX drivers. Oh, mum. Did you hear that, mum? I thought to myself, if only we knew someone who drove a Subaru WRX. And then I remembered, your mum, Bree, mumma Di, has a top-of-the-line WRX STI.

Don't you, mumma Di? I surely do, and I reckon that's part of owning a WRX Do you? Mum, no, stop You're not on Tokyo Drift You're not burning the tarmac You've never got a speeding ticket in your life, have you? Well, I think before we ask her point blank

We go through some of the stats, okay The average driver has a 9.59% chance Of having received a speeding ticket in the last 12 months. In the last 12 months. 12 months. So in saying that, almost 1 in 10 drivers have had a speeding ticket in the last 12 months. We haven't driven anywhere in the last 12 months.

Really good point. It's a really good point. However, if you're a WRX driver, the chances of you having received a ticket in the last 12 months are 18.8%. Oh my. So nearly double. Nearly double. Yeah%. Oh, my. So nearly double. Nearly double. Yeah.

Yeah. So we put it to you, point blank, Bree's mum, owner of a – is it blue, your WRX? I think it's white. No, white. White. Like lightning. She calls it white lightning. White lightning.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Have you or have you not received a speeding ticket in the last 12 months? No, I have not. I call bullshit. We'll ask you one more time. Have you or have you not received a speeding ticket in the last 12 months? No.

Not that I've received one in the mail, but we have changed addresses. Hey, Mum, you might be forgetting that a while ago you gave me access to your email. And may I read out this email that you received a fair few months ago now. Dear Mr or Mrs Thomasel, we booked you a couple of weeks ago doing 120 in a 100 zone. Jesus.

Do you care to comment on that email sent from the Queensland police? I thought it was a bit more than 120. Listen, don't you think she's so funny? Weird. At the bottom of the email, it says, Please transfer $300 to this bank account, account name B Tomasell. Yeah, weird. It's this new program they're doing
