Tonight, we are going to witness the most anticipated show in the history of professional radio. Their names Bree and Clint. Hello everybody and welcome to the Bree and Clint show.

Sans Bree Thomasel. She's on secret business today. She'll be back with us tomorrow. I was going to open the show talking about how I went down my driveway today and there was a tree down covering my driveway which I was a bit miffed about and had to like

maybe run late blah blah blah to get the tree off the driveway. Just as we went to go to air I've opened my Instagram and I've seen a friend of mine who lives up the road from me has had a whole car

come through her fence and land in her backyard. Like next to where the backyard and where their pool is. There's a whole car in their backyard. That makes your story sound like child's play. It does. It was a branch of my driveway.

That's so scary. Where did the car come from? Yeah. So their house, this is, you can see this by the way, it's Britt Cunningham, who's quite a big TikToker slash Instagram content creator you know when your house is like

lower than the road level like the road is up there and you come down the driveway and your house is lower than the road someone's just driven off the road

and landed in their backyard what do you do in that moment if you're just like making toast and the car just drops from the sky

I hope that post wasn't on close friends oh no no it's up there for everybody too late I'd be so just like making toast in the afternoon. The car just drops from the sky. I hope that post wasn't on Close Friends. Oh no, no, it's up there for everybody. Too late. I'd be so, I'd be so conflicted between checking

that the person was okay, which is obviously priority number one, and then being incredibly angry at them for driving off a cliff into my backyard where my kids play

and where anything could have happened. True, oh my gosh. You know? Yeah. Scary. Well, I hope everyone's okay. Everyone is happened. True. True, oh my gosh. You know? Yeah. Scary. Well, I hope everyone's okay. Everyone is okay.

Good. Is your driveway okay? Your tree? Did you get the brush out of the way? Yeah, hashtag we will rebuild. Good, good. Oh my word. I've got a theory on that sort of thing.

We'll talk about it a little bit later. But here's the important things you need to know today. The secret sounds at 50 grand. You get two guesses, four and five o'clock. We have a double pass to Symphony Festival, which is the new name for Symphony in the Domain. And all you've got to do is hear our Symphony track of the day, which is going to play on our show sometime between four and five o'clock. Okay. And the song is Example Kickstart. It's this one here. Great millennial banger.

He's playing at Symphony Festival. And if you're the first one through, when we play that song in full, you can have two tickets to go to Symphony Festival for free and see Darude and Example and everybody else. You want me to come over, I've got an excuse. But we're not playing it yet. First, we're going to do tradie versus lady. If you want to play, we need a tradie and a lady on 0800 Dial ZM. Bree and Clint.

It's tradie versus lady. Three, two, one, let's go. All right, Bree's away, so I'm going to need some help keeping score in this. But I can tell you the score is 20 points to the ladies and 11 points to the tradies. It was ding dong for the first part of the year, but the ladies have begun to streak ahead. Our lady is calling from Kaitaia today. She's 29, and she has two sets of adult teeth. Welcome to the show, Olivia.

Are you there, Liv? Hi. Yeah, that sounds so much worse when it's said out loud. Well, it sounds like you're a shark, like you've got a front row of teeth and a back row of teeth. No, not technically. I had adult teeth pulled out so that I could get braces and then more teeth started growing through. It was really weird.

Oh, my God. So you've had three sets of teeth in your life? I have, yeah. Are you tempted to pull out the ones that you've got now and see if a fourth set grow through? No, no, there's no more up there. You don't know? You didn't know the third set were up there?

That's true, yeah. I'm not saying pull them out. Do not pull them out on my recommendation. Your opponent today is our tradie from Auckland. She's 42 and she's five months pregnant with her third child. Welcome to the show, Leah. G'day, g'day. G'day, g'day.

You are going head to head with Olivia. How many sets of teeth have you got, Leah? Just one currently. Just the one, yeah. No, I may have two because I'm pregnant, so. Oh, my God, yeah. Oh, there's another two because I'm pregnant, so. Oh, my God, yeah. Oh, there's another set of teeth inside you currently. There we go.

Well, there's two more sets of teeth inside you because everyone's got two sets. Oh, my God, we're in a teeth matrix. Let's go with names because you both sound kind of similar to me. Leah and Olivia, those can be your buzzers, okay? Sure. And the first person to give me three correct answers will get that $50 cash and the win.

Question number one. Tropical cyclone Alfred is bearing down on the Gold Coast right now. Which superhero had a butler named Alfred? Leia. Leia? Superman. Did you say Superman? No, it's Batman.

Claudia, can you split the difference there? I think Olivia was like a millisecond earlier. Olivia, three ways you might serve eggs. Scrambled, poached, or hard-boiled. Well done. That'll do. One point to the ladies. Question number three.

Who sings this song? Liz. Olivia. Nicki Minaj. Well done. Two points to the ladies. Question number three. Who won the Oscar for Best Actor this week?

They had more twists and turns than Olivia's trip to the dentist. Well done, Leah. You've scored yourself $50 cash and a much needed win for our tradies. Yay. The boys will be very happy with me. Yeah, there you go.

Congratulations. Thank you for playing Tradie vs. Lady. Next on the show, we're going to talk about themed family names. Like a through line that runs through all the people in your family. You're all named after a something or you all have a name that sounds like something.

Well, we'll talk about themed names for a second. You found this on TikTok, Claudia, someone whose family has a running theme through their names. Yeah, it's kind of like how the Kardashians, like all of them have K names. Yeah. This girl, I don't think she quite realised it until someone pointed it out. So her first name is November. This is her name on TikTok, is November J Brown.

And I mean, November's a cool name. Not a normal name for name on TikTok is November J Brown. And I mean, November's a cool name. Not a normal name for one of the month kind of names. Not a name. No, not a name. Not a name. But weirdly April, May. April, May. June. June. No, not July. August. August. August is a name. That's about it.

But yeah, her name is November. February. Or which month would you want to be? I'd want to be. I want name is November. Oh, which month would you want to be? I'd want to be... I want to be November. Yeah, April, you'd be April Fool. You want to be November? It sounds cool. I want to be October.

Oh, you would. I want to be October. Anyway, this is her family and their theme names. So your real name is November? Yes. Were you born in November? No. I mean, I've met in April before.

My mom, her name is April. Oh. Were you born in November? No. I mean, I've met in April before. My mom, her name is April. Oh, so it's like a thing. Next you're going to tell me you've got like a June or a January. My middle name is June. June is also my grandma's name and it's my middle name. My sister's middle name may or may not be December. Her name is November June. Her name is November June.

Yep. And her sister's middle name is December. It's nice. It's kind of cute. It's kind of cute. It's kind of nice. There's a very limited palette of names, though. There's literally 12. The weirdest thing is that none of them were born in the months

that they're named after. Yeah. Or is it weirder if they are born in that month and they have that name? Yeah, that seems lazy, doesn't it? It does, aye. But then you could move into seasons. True. Winter.

Quarter, quarters. Quarters. Quarter one, Q Quarter, quarters. Quarters. Quarter one. Q2, Q3, Q4. This is our son financial year. I don't know where you go with it. The closest I've got is, I actually got a few. My friend Jordan, how to dad.

His kids, this is loose, but his kids are Nala, Mila and Elba. So they all end with an A. Oh, yes. It's kind of theming to it. I thought you Elba. So they all end with an A. Oh, yes. It's kind of theming to it. I thought you were going to say they're all Lion King names. Well, close. Yeah, they're all four-letter names ending with an A. I talked about this last week on the show.

I grew up with the TTs, the Thorne family. Tanya Thorne, Tony Thorne, Tina Thorne and their brother, Mark. Oh, there's always one. Bless. I grew up, I knew this family, they were called the Henrys. Oh, yeah? And they went one step further and they named their son Henry and then they named their daughter Henrietta.

Shut up. So Henry, Henry and Henrietta, Henry. Shout out to you guys. Henry, Henry and Henrietta, Henry. Yep, the Henrys. Or if you line them up the other way, they'd be Henrietta, Henry, Henry, Henry. Yeah, it's got a nice ring to it.

Nah, it doesn't. No, it really doesn't. Is there even a nickname for Henry? Hen? Hendo. Hendo. Hendo. Hendo Henry.

You just go by your middle name, which I hope isn't also Henry. I also went to school with the Cannons. Crispin Cannon, Kevin Cannon, Keenan Cannon, and Karen? I think their mum was maybe Karen. I kind of like that one. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I just, I've got no themes in my family at all.

Like even our names, they're not really even generational names. Nothing's been passed down. Oh, there's one theme in my family. My dad's name is a made-up name. My dad's name is Aysen. It's about A-Y-S-O-N. It is a made-up name. It's a made-up name. But his's name is Asin. It's about A-Y-S-O-N. It is a made-up name. It's a made-up name.

But his uncle was named Asin. His nephew is named Asin. Whoa. Another one of his nephews is named Asin. So years ago, someone came up with it, and everyone's like, yeah, we're going to roll with that. I think about four generations back, the doctor that delivered the baby, they're like, what's your name?

And he's like, Asin. And they're like, all right, that's our family name now. So someone in his family made it up, and then it got passed down to your family. Love you, Dad, but I'm so glad I didn't have a son and have to name him Asen. Do you mean Jason? No, Asen.

We want to know if there's a theme to the names in your family. 0800-DIAL-ZM, or you can text them into 9696. It might have also been a family that you went to school with or worked with, but what's the theme of the names running through the family? We're asking what's the name theme running through your family? Like what did you just, someone got around and they're like, everyone in this family is going to be named after a colour or a spice or a country or something like that. And there's some interesting ones coming through. Someone said, my mum went to school with the flower family.

There was poppy flower, daisy flower, and rose flower. I kind of like it. Corn flower. I was going to say corn. And their dog's self-raising. Self-raising flower. Whole wheat. Cricket flower.

Steve Carell, the 40-year-old virgin, has done something very cool for a bunch of US high school students. He has appeared on a screen at six different high schools in Altadena in California with a message for a lot of students who were affected by the wildfires

that happened in California earlier this year. A lot of them lost their houses. So Steve Carell has done something nice for them and offered this. Attention all seniors. This is Steve Carell with a very special announcement. I work with a wonderful charity called Alice's Kids. They will be paying for all

of your prom tickets. And if you have already paid for your prom tickets, they will reimburse you. It's a pretty good deal. Have fun. Enjoy the prom. And remember, this is Steve Carell. Take it easy, guys. And remember, this is Steve Carell. It is a pretty good deal. It's a very nice thing for him to have done. And he didn't do it on like the Ellen Show or something. He did it at their school. So it wasn't for publicity, although we are talking about it, which is very nice. But how cool is that?

Claudia, what do you want Steve Carell to pay for for you? If he could pay my rent and or mortgage and or groceries or, I don't know, I'd take a cash payment otherwise. That's a lot. That's a lot. I reckon a prom ticket's $150. I'll just take $150.

Okay, you have cash equivalent. Ella, what do you want Steve Carell to pay for for you? A box of kittens. A box of kittens. I'd love some new animals, maybe a donkey. You've got a wedding coming up, you could ask him to pay for something towards the wedding. Yeah, okay. You could put the donkey in the wedding and then, yeah, ride on the donkey.

Well, he's fun. He probably would do it. That's the latest. We're going to give you a shot at winning the secret sound next, which we thought was special yesterday. Putting it up to $50,000 for one day. And now everybody gets it. So, not so special now, is it? But good for you.

If you've been on TikTok or Instagram or watched the news or listened to the news, you will have heard about Tropical Cyclone Alfred. It's forecast to hit the Queensland coast tonight. I've seen videos, all kinds of videos, people down at the beach getting videos, people, I saw this video of this mum who was lashing her kid's trampoline to the side of her house and everyone was roasting her for it, going, that is the worst way you could possibly secure a trampoline. It's meant to be upside down.

But people don't know, especially people on the Gold Coast, because how often do they have to deal with an enormous tropical cyclone? To get a handle on what's really going on over there, we're crossing live to a Kiwi on the Gold Coast. Please welcome to the show Anthony Broomhall. Hi, Anthony. Hey, g'day, mate. How are you?

Yeah, good. Kia ora. Yeah, kia ora, mate. Kia ora. Where are you, by the way? Where exactly are you? I'm in an area just back from Palm Beach here on the Gold Coast. Oh, yeah.

Just south of Belly Heads. I'm in Eleanora, but I'm up on a – I'm at the top of a hill. Right. And does your hill have a lookout towards the coast? Yes, well, yes, it does. It does look out towards Billy Hill and the ocean and stuff like that. So you may have a front row seat for the apocalypse, Anthony. Oh, yeah, no, we're in the mosh pit.

Wow. We're right in amongst it, yeah. What's the weather like right now? What's the situation on the Gold Coast? Mate, it's pouring possums and dingoes here at the moment. And it's just a lot of wind as well. It's Melbourne, four seasons in one day, but we're getting every season, every five minutes here.

It's sunny, it's raining, it's windy, then it stops altogether. It's just literally stopped now. Yeah, and it's raining, it's windy, then it stops altogether. It's just literally stopped now. Yeah, and it's meant to get bad tonight. How seriously are people over there taking this cyclone? Is it a bit of fun? Is it a bit of an interest? Or are people seriously

scared and stockpiling and things like that? I think you've it's all of the above. Basically, as you mentioned earlier, it's not a common occurrence a cyclone on the Gold Coast. So people are going to websites looking for what to do on cyclones. There has actually been a police presence at some of the larger malls here on the Gold Coast.

But, look, everyone shut up shop from about, I think it was from about 9am this morning. No school, no shops. No Rugby League? I see they've moved, this is a big deal for Queensland, they've moved all the Rugby League out of Queensland? Yes, but at least they've relocated the games. The games will be played unlike the AFL that have just completely...

Yeah, nothing stops Rugby League in Australia. They'll just do it somewhere else. What are you going to do? Are you going to run for cover or have you got supplies? What are you going to do? Yes, well, as I said, we're at the top of a hill, so on windy days it can get quite windy. Yeah.

Yes, and so we're expecting it to get pretty windy. I've done some precautionary things like taping out the windows, but I don't know if you're aware of this, but last year, last Christmas, not the Christmas that's gone, the one before, we had the massive storm, the power cuts. So there is a large portion of the Gold Coast that are ready. They've got generators. Yeah. They're ready for power cuts, but it's the last minute things,

and I think a few people have been caught short. There's so many Kiwis over there and people who will be quite scared, They're ready for power cuts, but it's the last minute things. I think a few people have been caught short. There's so many Kiwis over there and people who will be quite scared. So this is why we wanted to talk to a Kiwi that is there. People have family. You can't kind of get in or out at the moment. There's lots of flights being cancelled. I was talking to Scotty Morrison, who was meant to be going over there to work today or tomorrow,

and that's all been called off. So, yeah, it's hard to know how bad it's going to be, right? The dream situation is it dissipates before it gets there and it's nothing. But you just don't know, right? That is the dream situation, yes. But yeah, just going back to what you're saying about community and stuff like that, you're right, there's over 60,000 Kiwis on the Gold Coast now. But there is not just the Queensland spirit, but there's that community spirit and that ANZAC spirit

sort of really shows through in disasters like this. And everyone, Kiwis, Aussies, everyone's banding together. Everyone's checking up on the older people in the community as well and making sure they're okay. So, yeah, it is, well, dare I say that, it's a little bit exciting, but obviously. No, it always is. That's the weird thing about it, eh? Like, it's like ride the lightning.

Well, exactly, yeah. Yeah. Well, good to hear that you're ready. And hopefully we'll chat to you tomorrow and you will say that it was all a storm and a teacup and nothing really happened. That would be the best result. Good luck. It would be, fingers crossed. That's Kiwi Anthony Broomhall. He's in Queensland. He's and nothing really happened. That'd be the best result. Good luck. It would be, fingers crossed. Yeah, that's Kiwi Anthony Broomhall.

He's in Queensland. He's in the Gold Coast preparing for Cyclone Alfred or as the locals are calling it, ALF. Bree and Clint. Bree's away today. She'll be back with us tomorrow. Claudia is in studio at the moment because she's going to reveal what your pin number is. Yeah, I'm going to tell you exactly what it is

because I assume you've done like what everyone else has done and chosen a pattern. Yeah. Yeah, I have actually. Oh, no, I've abandoned the pattern. I used to have a pattern. You would never guess my pattern. I feel like I invented my pattern.

I was the first person to use my pattern. But then my car got compromised and someone took $10,000 off my credit card. What? Yeah. Was your credit card in your car? No, they didn't even have my credit card. It was one of those ones where, is it phishing? Is that what they call it with a PH? Where they get, you put your card in a machine and it makes a copy of it, like scans it. Skimming? Yeah. And then they went to some ATM in South Auckland and took out $10,000. I had a friend once who I was like, I'm going to- Which is gutting because that was my pin number that I invented when I was 14.

Oh, that's like a soul pillar or like a core pillar of your body. But you should probably update your pin more often than that. But anyway. I have a friend who was like, gave me her phone and I'm like, I'm going to guess your pin. And she's like, you'll never guess it. She had a four letter name. So I just wrote her name in and immediately opened it up.

Yeah. So when we guessed Breeze on her phone, we managed to, we stole her phone for the day. I won't say what it was, but we managed to work out her pin by the end of the day. And she was shocked. Okay, what are the most common pin numbers? So I found a list from all good,

like where people all get good information from on TikTok. Someone found this on the dark web, so it's very legit. Do you want to go from number 10 or number 1? Sure, start at number 10. I'm going to give you the vibe. I'm going to vibe check them. Okay, number 10, 2020. 2020.

Ooh, it's nice. Yeah, nice pattern. But it's too simple. Number 9, I'm assuming a birth year, 1986. Oh. Yeah. A lot of them going down the list. I've got up until number 30. Why is that year so specific? I don't know, but almost every year of the 80s is in this list. I can imagine the Swifties, a lot of Swifties having 1989.

True, that is on the list as well. A little bit further down, but it's on the list. Number 8, 1-1-2-2. Again, a pattern. Oh, yeah. Too, too simple. Too simple. We're just going to get simpler as we go, though.

1-1 was a racehorse. 2-2 was 1-2. Number 7, 4-4-4-4. Oh. Why 4? It's in the mid. No, it's not even in the middle. It's not even in the middle.

I don't know. Well, number 6 is 2-2-2-2. I get 2-2-2-2. It's central. It's central. But 4-4-4-4, okay, yeah. Yeah, I don't know. Number 5, 1-2-1-2. Yeah, of course. It's central. But 4, 4, 4, 4. Okay, yeah. Yeah, I don't know. Number 5, 1, 2, 1, 2.

Yeah, of course. It's just so simple. Number 4, 1, 3, 4, 2. That's just jumbling up the first four numbers. Yeah. Yeah. These are the most popular PIN codes, by the way. And if your PIN code has come up already.

Yeah, maybe think about changing it. A new one. Yeah, okay. What else have we got? Top three. Number 3, 0, 0, 0, 0. I didn't think you were allowed to have zero, zero, zero, zero as your pin number.

Maybe not for some things. Well, maybe on your phone then. The bank probably not. They're a bit more strict about it. I'm thinking about abandoning a pin code on my phone. I'm sick of unlocking it. Like you're abandoning it at all? Yeah, just turning the lock

off on my phone. Including like a face ID? Yeah, just turning the lock off on my phone. Including like a face ID? Yeah, I hate it. I hate that laggy second where I have to unlock my phone. But then anyone can get into it. Yeah, but what am I really hiding? I'm going to steal all your money then. It's like here at ZM, they're like,

you need to update your password every six weeks. I'm like, what? So people don't get, what are they going to find? They're going to find my documents. Yeah. They're going to find my list of pin codes. They're going to find the outtakes from mine and Bree's photo shoot. Oh no! That is probably the worst thing on there.

Okay, we're at the top two. You can probably guess what they are. What do you think the top two most popular pin codes are? 1, 2, 3, 4 and 6, 9, 6, 9. Close. 6, 9, 6, 9. Close. 6, 9, 6, 9 is a little bit further down the list. Number two is 1, 1, 1, 1.

And coming in at number one, and a study said one in 10 people use this. You're right. 1, 2, 3, 4. It's the go-to. We can do better. Yeah. We can do so much better.

If you want to hack somebody, you definitely try it. Start with that. Yeah. And you want to hack somebody, you definitely try it. Start with that. Yeah. And you try 0000. And then if that doesn't work, 6969. Ella, was your pin number in that list? You don't have to tell us which one it was, but was your pin number in that list?

Was it one of the ones that Claude said? No, it actually wasn't. Mine's my camera one set. Oh, my gosh. We nearly got her, everybody. Bree and Clint. This is a working title for a segment, say it. We nearly got her everybody. This is a working title for a segment but for now let's just call it Dumb Stuff

Stupid People Buy With Too Much Money. Is that catchy? Does that roll off the tongue? Yeah I think you actually nailed that. Dumb Stuff Stupid People Buy With Too Much Money. What's the acronym for that? D-S-S P-W with too much money. What's the acronym for that? D-S-S-P-W-T-M.

D-S-S-P-W-T-M. Perfect. Perfect. This is radio. This is how radio happens, guys. This is gold. This is a real peak behind the curtain. It's a Cheeto. People know what Cheetos are?

The crunchy chippies? The crunchy chippy thingy. The cheesy chippies. Like a twistippy thingy. The cheesy chippies. Like a twisty. That leave the residue on your fingers. Yeah. Delicious. It's a Cheeto and it's shaped like a Pokemon

and it's sold at auction for $153,000. Oh my word. For just the chip? Dumb stuff stupid people buy with too much money. It's official title is, so this is the auction listing for it, three inch long Flamin' Hot Cheeto

in shape of Charizard affixed to customised Pokemon card and encased in clear card storage box. It's answered literally all of my questions. I wanted to know how it was presented, what flavour of chip, and what Pokemon. And what size.

And what size. And what size. Yeah, wait, what size? Three inches. Oh, quite cute. So big. Three inches is big. Sorry.

Yeah, real huge. Huge. That's a big chip. Don't mean to offend those people. Too big. What are you going to do with a chip that size? Uncomfortably big. So do you eat it?

Is that the point? Well, you can do whatever you want with it. It's the size of a Pokemon card, essentially. I would have to say, as far as chips that look like things, this thing looks incredibly like a Charizard.

Does it have the wings and everything? Really? Yeah, yeah. Does it have the tail? Is it detailed? Does it have a fire on the tail? It's got the feet.

Well, it's a flaming hot Cheeto. It's actually already on theme. And it's shaped like a fire-breathing Pokemon. Ella, you could eat it. It's already seven years old, this Cheeto. How is it not mouldy is my question. Well, I thought that too. But then does anybody actually know what's in a Cheeto?

The amount of preservatives. Is there any food in it? I don't know. I don't mean to sound like some kind of health nut, but if a Cheeto can last for seven years and still sell for $150,000. Anyway, 60 bids on this thing. The winning bid was, yeah, in US dollars, it was $72,000 plus a buyer's premium.

The total came out to $153,000 for a chip. That's just obscene. That looks like a Pokemon. I've eaten chips that look like things before. I never thought about listing them for anything. You have to hold on to them just in case. Yeah. You can go on that funny Trade Me section where they're like, you know, the tricky listings. Trade Me loves it.

Trade Me loves a carrot, like a double carrot. So it looks like legs and then it's got a baby carrot growing out of the middle. So it looks like legs with a willy. Very clever. That's comedy gold. Even then though, how do you make that stuff last? It's like the world's biggest potato that was for sale on Trade Me as well. It's cool.

Buy it. It's rotting. Please. Please quickly take it off our hands. Buy it quickly. Before it's worthless. Anyway, dumb stuff. Rich people.

People. Stupid people with too much money. Too much money. Bye. Wouldn't you just love to meet the guy? I don't want to meet him, actually. I'd hate to meet him. But do you want to see the guy who dropped $150,000 on a Pokemon chip? I mean, if he has that much money to spare, I'll meet him.

I'll befriend him. I don't know. And you're right, the ultimate flex is to eat it. And poop it out. That's one expensive poo. Oh, $153,000 poo. It's not even going to poop it out. That's one expensive poo. Oh, $153,000 poo. It's not even going to fill you up. That's terrible.

It's not going to fill you up. We just had a secret sound incident happen. Brooke paid someone $700 not to guess that the secret sound was a cat being put back on a pregnancy test. The thing that this could be is it could be close to the sound,

it could be the sound, or it could be a way of throwing people completely off the scent. You just don't know. But the guest goes back into the pool. It's available for anybody else to use. And Mel got 700 bucks, so not bad. 7 a.m. tomorrow. Please welcome to the show,

host of The Girls Uninterrupted and good friend of ours, Brodie Kane. Kia ora. Kia ora Clint, how are you? Well, jealous actually of you. I've been watching your social media and you gallivanting around Las Vegas for that Warriors game. God, that seemed like a good trip to be on. Look, just to make you feel better though, we were in Las Vegas for five days. For anyone that hasn't been, I would highly recommend that three days is your absolute max.

Two is actually fine. So just if you're feeling jealous, for every one day that you're in Vegas, you add an entire recovery day at the back end. It's like cat years, eh? It's like cat years. One year in Vegas time is five human years or something like that. Brie and I were actually discussing what the optimal amount of time and what we think we could handle.

We set it on three nights in Vegas as the optimal. Too much? Two. Two nights. Two nights, three days. Two nights and a recovery day? No, because you don't want to be there to recover. There's nowhere to recover.

What about beside the pool? No, you you don't want to be there to recover. There's nowhere to recover. What about beside the pool? No, you just give hope. What about at an all-male review strip show with Laura McGoldrick? Look, yes, or getting one of those IV drips that all the hotels have. Are they real? Do they work? They are real and they work, Clint, I assure you. I'm at the age where I need an IV drip after, you know,

a few drinks at the pub. Speaking of a few drinks, I saw that your story about buying four vodka Red Bulls made the news today. How much did you shell out for a round of vodka Red Bulls? Well, we were at Omnia Nightclub to see Martin Garrix. I was so excited. We were like, oh, all the girlies are on. Girls like girls. We'd already been

in an oversized Hummer limousine, so we were really leaning into Vegas. Laura goes to the bar to order us a four-volter Red Bull, and then she passes me the receipt and says, look, could you, sorry, I just, can you just see what that says? Sure

enough, it says 303 US dollars. Oh. And so we obviously have an emergency meeting. And then we even go back to the guy and we're like, I'm sorry, is this real? Is this true? And I mean, these guys, they don't give an absolute hoot about you, your money, what your backstory is. And he said, yes. And we said, well, can we get something smaller? Well, this particular came, you could keep the cup. Oh, yeah, you could keep the cup. Yeah, woohoo.

So we made an executive decision, though. The drink had four shots in it. And we were like, all right, fine, let's do it. Let's never speak of it again. No, you did not. Yeah, we did. And then we bought the drink. But then, Clint,'t you be proud of us

because we are number eight wire Kiwis. We then blagged our way into a booth, which was a group of men who were there for the International Building Conference or something. And so we got to hang out in the booth for the rest of the night. And the booth didn't cost us anything. How much did the booth cost the men from the conference?

$20,000 US dollars. I'm starting to think that Vegas, it looks fun. Don't get me wrong. It looks like such a good time. But the whole city seems like a scam. Yeah, but it's not though. It's a special, yes, yes, potentially.

This is someone trying to reconcile the fact that they've been scammed by saying it's not a scam. Hey, what do we call it? It's a fully consenting scam. Claudia, can you run the math for us? $303 US dollars into New Zealand dollars? Can we get a conversion? I already know, Clint.

It was on my credit card. It's $543. Brodie! Brodie Kane. Okay, I've got, Your Honour, I've got Your honour I've got a defence I did not Gamble

I was drunk No No I did not Gamble once I didn't I didn't put any money In the pokies

I didn't So I I just consider that My little I would feel ill I reckon it would Ruin my trip You've done well

Not to let it But I reckon it would Ruin my trip And I don't think I could enjoy The vodka Red Bull Clint I know That you are I reckon it would ruin my trip. You've done well not to let it, but I reckon it would ruin my trip. And I don't think I could enjoy the vodka Red Bull. Clint, I know that you are one of our up-and-coming New Zealand DJs, and I actually don't think it would have ruined your night, because if you had got to see Martin Garrix at Omnia, you would have lost your little vodka Red Bull mind like I did.

I swear to you, you would have had the best night of your life. How much were the tickets for Martin Garrix? We were on the guest list, so at least we got that part. You're on the guest list. You've got to pay $450 for a Red Bull, though. Oh, wow, thanks. VIP. It's good, though, because I wanted to have a conversation on the show

this afternoon about Bill Shock, and that's exactly what Bill Shock is. It's where you get the service done, so the drinks are poured, or the tires are on the car, or the meal is cooked, and then you find out how bill shock is. It's where you get the service done. So the drinks are poured or the tires are on the car or the meal is cooked. And then you find out how much it is. Then they go, that will be 303 US dollars or something like that. And you're the perfect example of it. So, you know. Well, look, you know, if there's something I can be proud of this week is I pieced together my carcass after five days in Vegas.

It's the fact that I'm making the news for all the wrong reasons. So yay for me. Yeah, and it is in the news. I found this in the news. Brodie Kane, thank you very much. Welcome back to New Zealand. Always a pleasure, my friend. Yeah, see you soon.

Drinks on you, I reckon. I'm in rehab. Yeah, yeah. What was your bill shock? What's the bill that you got and you were like, ah, squeeze me? Bree and Clint. We were just talking to our friend Brodie Kane, who's in the news today,

because she got charged $540 for four vodka Red Bulls in Las Vegas. She said they had four shots of vodka in them. But even then, like, it's just ridiculous. The problem is the drinks were poured, and I think it was like a paywave situation. You don't even look at it, and then you do it, and they hand you the receipt, and you go, eh. I is the drinks were poured, and I think it was like a paywave situation. You don't even look at it, and then you do it,

and they hand you the receipt, and you go, uh. I did the math on it, and even if it's four shots per drink, it's nearly $35 New Zealand dollars per shot. Per shot. Per shot, not even per drink. Oh, no, but there's some Red Bull in there as well. True. So worth it.

Those are at least $4 a can. So we want to know what was your bill shock moment. Ruben's here. G'day, Ruben. Hey, how you going? Good, mate. When did you get bill shock? Hi, I was back in Wellington for a family thing,

and I was getting some food, and I was like, oh, coming in by the front door, there was a sale of some watermelon. Oh, yeah. That'll go all right. Yes. $7.99 on the sticker. I was like, sweet as, didn't think about it, went about the rest of the shop,

and then got up to the checker. Woman puts the watermelon on the scales, and it's an 11kg watermelon. Realised pretty quickly it was $11.99 a kg. Oh, yeah. $87 watermelon. $87 watermelon. But there was a few older, wealthier people

looking behind me in the line and I didn't want to look cheap and put the watermelon back. So I bought it for $87 for one watermelon. You did not. You did not. You've got to get over that. Other people were texting in the embarrassment thing that made them follow through with it. Was it the best damn watermelon you've

ever had in your life, Reuben? I'd love to tell you it was, but it was dry. We didn't even eat the whole thing. I'd take, I would, again, I would swallow my pride. I would take an $80 watermelon back if it was dry. I'd go, this shit's dry. On a reef hunt. Yeah, I probably should have too.

Good man, that's perfect. Let's go to Sarah. Hi, Sarah. Hello, how are you? I'm good. You got bill shock at the dentist? I did, I did. I had to get a mouth guard because I started grinding my teeth a bit.

Oh, yeah. So I got it fitted, and I thought it was just going to be, you know, like a mouth guard. And when I finally went back and got it fitted and then I went to pay for it, it was $650. So expensive. And it's just a mouth guard. Well, it isn't just a mouth guard. I could have gone and bought that. It's a proper.

You got sold the dream. It's actually got lots of cool features that the dentist told me about. But I know what you mean. You could have gone to the chemist and got a rugby one for $10 and boiled it in the kettle. But I'm sure it's got some benefits. I'm sure that will be your mouth guard forever, Sarah. It bloody will. I'll be keeping it until I'm 90.

I'll have beautiful teeth. Yeah, you will. You will and you'll sleep well. Geri's here. Hi, Geri. Hi, guys. What was your bill shock, Geri? About 11 years ago, myself, my partner and my daughter moved into a flat and we'd

been there for about two weeks until rental and we got an $1,100 power bill. Oh, $1,100? Yeah, after two weeks. What were you doing? Did you leave the heated towel rail on or something? No, we both worked full time Monday to Friday and I rang the power company and was like, hey, there's no one home Monday to Friday what's going on? How could it be $1100?

Yeah, and they thought that the previous tenants had had the estimate power bills and we got the actual reading so we kind of pretty much paid their last year of power. Nah, you get out of that, don't you? They should have shut down the account. They should have shut it off. No, we had to

pay it and they also said to ring the landlord and get... Oh, nah, I'd be ropeable. I would be absolutely ropeable. Yeah, I was so mad and we had to get an electrician out to check that it wasn't a running meter at the power box. Yeah, that would have cost money. So we got an electrician bill as well.

Jeez, sucks. The Yurt will come round to you in some other way, Geri The universe will sort it out You'll find an ancient Mayan ruin or something worth $1100 one day I don't know Hopefully, fingers crossed Yeah, thank you Someone said I paid $1400 for a plumber to unblock my toilet

Jeez, what did you do to the toilet for it to cost $1400? That's where my mind goes. I reckon the plumber comes out and is like, whew, that one's not going to be cheap, guys. Someone said the first water bill at our new house was $900. I opened the bill at 5 a.m. and burst into tears. I said to my husband, I don't want to own a house anymore. Turns out we had a water leak.

So I think you can get your money back for those ones. We're talking about bill shock. Any other good ones here? I got four curtains cleaned. It cost me $580. Next time I'll just buy new curtains. Yeah, you would, wouldn't you? For that kind of price. And someone else's mum went into a shop and bought a plain black top, took it to the counter, and they said that'll be $250. And same thing. She was too embarrassed to say, oh, never mind, so she paid the $250 for a plain black top.

Brie and Clint. The show's brought to you by Neon. You can stream the brand-new season of White Lotus on Neon right now. Brie and Clint. All I want for my birthday is a birthday banger. And we're banging birthdays without Brie. Oh, that means I've got to do the math thing. Having a day off work is a great way for people to realise

how important you actually are to the workplace. You really value the people around you suddenly. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's true, that's true. I actually, on my bucket list, I've always wanted to do that birthday thing that Brie does. Do you want to do it? Yeah, okay.

Can I do it? Okay, you do it. It's a big job, though. I know. I've been practising do that birthday thing that Brie does. Do you want to do it? Yeah, okay. Can I do it? Okay, you do it. Oh, okay. It's a big job, though. I know. I've been practising. You've got to get it right. Okay. Because Dylan wants

their birthday banger correct. Don't you, Dylan? Yeah, I do. Yeah, it's a big moment. Dylan's been waiting all his life. No pressure. To know his birthday banger.

Dylan, what's your date of birth? 11th of May, 1992. Okay, Ella? Here we go. All right, you were born in 1992, which means you were 16 in 2008, and this is your birthday banger. Nailed it.

And nailed the birthday banger too. I love this, Dylan. Good song. Usher, Loving This Club, do you like it? Yeah, that's actually quite a good song.ha loving this club do you like it yeah that's actually quite a good quite a good song it's a banger

from 2009 okay wait there we're gonna do Louise's birthday banger hi Louise hi how are you we're good just checking

because we need some feedback are you happy with the job that Ella did and are you comfortable with her processing your birthday banger yeah I'm comfortable

with the process but I'm excited to see what the birthday banger? Yeah, I'm comfortable with the process, but I'm excited to see what the birthday banger is. Because you do have the ability to request either Claudia or myself. Oh, okay. So others can do it. Yeah. Okay. No, it's all good.

Oh, nice. Okay, good. Good. Here we go. Louise, what is your birthday? The 22nd of January, 1989. Louise, you were born in 1989. So in 16, you were born in 2005.

Shit, no. Ah! Damn it! This goes so well. No! Bad process, good end result. Yeah, that's a good song. You get Mario and Let Me Love You.

Do you like it, Louise? Yeah, that's probably still on my rotation on Spotify. It's so good, eh? I love the way it starts. Okay. Wait there. Ella? Yeah?

Do you have the confidence? Can you pull it back? Yeah, I lost concentration. That's what happened. Yeah, you were off somewhere else. Yeah, it was. Andy, I'm going to force you to use Ella for your birthday banger, okay? Because we need her to end on a high.

Or a demption. I know that she's got this. You know she's got it. Yeah, yeah. Okay, I can do it. What gives you so much confidence in Ella, Andy? I think it's just, you know, she's been in the sidelines for so long. Yeah. It's time to sign. Yeah, a's been in the sidelines for so long. Yeah. Yeah.

It's time to sign. Yeah. A little bit of the yips there. You've just knocked on the first ball, but you're going to get your head in the game now. Okay, Ella? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just corner way back. There we go.

Andy, when was your birthday? It was the 3rd of February, 1977. Okay. So in 1997, you were born. So that means 2000. What? Where are you were born, so that means 2000... What? Where are you? No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

No, do it again. No, we're going to do this again, Ella. Sorry, sorry. Shoot. Andy, the issue was Ella was born in the 2000s, so 1977 to her is kind of like Jurassic Park. She doesn't really... She can't really comprehend.

Ella? One more time. Are you ready? One't really, she can't really comprehend. Ella? One more time. Are you ready? One more time, yes. Here we go. You were born in 1997, which means you were 16. No, no, no! He was not born in 1997.

I've got dyslexia! Do it again, one more time. This is the last one, okay? This is the last one. You were born in 1977, which means you were 16 in 1993. Here's your birthday banger.

You know my word. Get in there. Get in there. We got there in the end, Andy. Are you happy with Sonia Dada? Yeah, it's very good. Patience of a saint, you, Andy. You're a good man.

Hold there for us. That was a lot. What happened? I've been so prepared for that moment. You nailed it on the first one and it just got progressively worse. Three-way vote. What do you guys want in three, two, one? Usher.

Yeah. Yay. Dylan, you guys want? In three, two, one. Usher. Yeah. Dylan, you just won Birthday Banger. Congratulations. Awesome. Thank you, guys. Let's go. I see you, Ryan. Bree and Clint.

Usher and Young Jeezy on ZM. Bree and Clint, that's the winner of Birthday Banger for Dylan from the year 2008. If you were listening before and you heard my impersonation of the start of Mario, Let Me Love You, I probably need to issue an apology. Someone texted and said, Clint, never do that again. I was trying to do, I was trying to do,

if you know the song, I was trying to do this. The bit at the start of Mario where he goes and after I did it you could hear a pin drop everybody just went quiet like a little sympathy laugh or something someone moving the conversation along would have been good

I wanted to be supportive but my body just wanted to go I can do it better go on redemption we're here for you okay Every supporter who's got my body just wanted to go. I can do it better. Go on. Redemption. We're here for you. Okay.

You just go somewhere else, don't you? I'll say it wasn't worse. Ella, your turn. I'm not. Oh, fine. Here it is. Oh, yeah. Give me some.

Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Okay, you ready? Oh, I nailed that. That was really good. Last one, Claudia. No, I absolutely refuse. You won't get me. Spoil sport.

I saw this story, which sucks, by the way, but it is in the news, so you can't ignore it. It will happen. The story says that soon a block of chocolate is going to cost $10. And this is like that one that came out. I remember doing one of these stories on the show in like 2021, and they were like, flat whites are going to be $7.50. And we were like, no, sorry, no, a flat white going to be $7.50 and we were like no sorry no a flat white will never be $7.50

and now a lot of cafes Auckland Wellington-ish maybe you can pay $6.50 for a flat white I paid $6 for a coffee the other day and my reaction was oh that's so cheap compared to everything else like great I'll come back to this place

but the flat white thing was weird like flat whites were $4.50 was, oh, that's so cheap compared to everything else. Crazy, right? Like, great, I'll come back to this place. Crazy. But the flat white thing was weird. Like, flat whites were $4.50 for literally 15 years. Yeah, they really flatlined and then suddenly just... Just never changed. Yeah, and then they boomed out of nowhere. And then they're like, oh, no, you need to pay more for that. Anyway, this is the way that things are. The news was in the Herald.

The economist Brad Olsen, our friend, Bad News Brad, who goes on the Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley show sometimes, he says, he really is living up to his name here, Bad News Brad, he says that a 250 gram bar of chocolate should cost $10 in six years' time. Oh, it breaks my heart. 20, 30, six years is a long way away. But 250 grams for scale is a Whittaker's. Yeah, just your standard big bar, right?

Whittaker's is big, though. Yeah, true. It's way bigger than Cadbury. They're like 200, right? Cadbury's are 180. Oh, okay. And Whittaker's do put their prices up regularly, but I actually kind of respect the way that Whittaker's do it.

They're like, hey, shit's expensive. We don't want to make shit chocolate. Or make anything smaller. And we don't want to do shrinkflation. So we're putting the prices up. Which I do respect. But at the same time, where does it stop? $10 for a block

of chocolate. Someone goes, oh, chocolate's going to be a luxury soon. I think it is. I think it was. Yeah. I think chocolate always was a luxury. And then we just got into a place where everything got really cheap and now some stuff's getting expensive again. But can we have like a meeting to decide what gets expensive and what we deem as essentials? We go, okay, let's not mess with milk, butter, chocolate, beer, eggs, wine, olive oil. Have you tried to buy a bottle of olive oil?

I don't even go there. Is this what conversations on Newstalk Zedbeer are like? I don't know. But have you tried to buy olive oil recently? No, I wouldn't. You're on the canola oil. I can't afford to look at olive oil. I can't even walk down that aisle. Try Google how much for one liter of olive oil right now i reckon you will bought i reckon you will literally gasp one liter olive oil let's go price

uh currently for a liter of olive oil it's's $18.70. Oh my God. Honestly, I would pay $30 there if I could get chocolate for cheaper. You'd forego olive oil for chocolate? Uh-huh. I think I would forego almost anything for chocolate. Yeah. Like that is my vice. That's my like... Toilet paper?

Yeah, no, I'd go for like a... I don't know, I'd buy it today. Toilet paper's the last thing they haven't come for yet, eh? Toilet paper's the last thing that hasn't gone up in price. Oh, I did see a funny thing the other day that, you know, back in the day when you were a kid and you wanted to like prank someone, you'd throw eggs or toilet paper at their house. And now those are the luxuries.

That's like throwing gold at their houses. The eggs, yeah. The toilet paper has gone up as well. Okay, I don't know how much is toilet paper. No, no, no, maybe I'm out of touch. How much is toilet paper? Yeah, you're a bidet owner. You don't even need it of touch. How much is toilet paper? You're a bidet owner. You don't even need it.

Excuse me. Do not tell people that I'm a bidet owner. I didn't say you're a bidet user. You're just a bidet owner. It came with the house. But you like it. 12 pack.

I've only used it once. 12 pack. Three ply. Toilet paper. Place your bets. Three ply? Yeah. $9.

We can live with two ply. What's standard? I don't know. $6. We can live with two-ply, can't we? What's standard? I don't know. $6.50. Oh. Okay, then. Yeah. I'll stock up on that and have that instead of chocolate.

Oh, actually, no, the Purex is $14. Oh, my gosh. Oh, no, that's a 24 bulk pack. No, no, no, we're good. We're good, we're good, we're good. I hate this so much. Bree and Clint. There has been a competition running across the motu run by McClure's Pickles,

which if you know, you know, very, very good pickles. A bit pricey, but very good pickles. Anyway, good news is they have found and crowned New Zealand's best burger. Bad news is this burger is a very, very long way away from where most New Zealanders live. But I mean, that could just make the quest to try the burger that much more exciting. Please welcome to the show the creator or co-creator of New Zealand's Best Burger from Peaks Kitchen, a food truck in Papatowai in the Catlins. It's Nicole. Hi, Nicole. Hello. Thank you so much for having me. Pleasure. You

have created an absolute burger masterpiece. So let's start with that. What is New Zealand's best burger and what's in it? My husband, Tom, and I have created the Peak Beef Burger. And this features a hand-ground steak patty made with real southern Hereford steak. And then it's got Pinot Noir pickled fresh beetroot with a bit of extra herbs and spices. Yeah. And then our own peak relish, the McClure's pickles, two types of cheddar, all served on a grilled fluffy bun. I have looked at this thing, and you've painted a beautiful picture of it,

but when you see it, this thing and you've painted a beautiful picture of it but when you see it this thing is next level the burger game in New Zealand has gone through the roof in the last 10 years but this this burger looks phenomenal I can hear an American accent on you and that's obviously the home of the burger do you think that's part of your secret to success your American-ness got you over the line? Yeah, well, I think my American heritage and Tom's Kiwi background has combined together to make a really good American-style cheeseburger with that Kiwi twist of the beetroot. Yes, beetroot's not for everyone, but it belongs in this burger. Nah, beetroot's for me. Beetroot's in a Kiwi burger.

New Zealanders are okay with beetroot in a burger, I believe. You're in the Catlins. I've been to the the catlins but it's very remote the catlins can you explain to people who don't know where the catlins where exactly you are yeah so the catlins is um part of the southern scenic route and it's about halfway between dunedin and invercargill so if people are heading through to queenstown or Milford Sounds or anything like that, then they want to come the southern scenic route. And Papatoa is in the seaside village here with lots of great attractions and beaches as well.

What's the thing about the Catlins? On a clear day, you can see South America or Antarctica? What's the one? Antarctica. Antarctica. Yeah, right. Well, not quite South America. No, maybe it's the one? Antarctica. Antarctica. Yeah, right. Not quite South America. No, maybe it's love

or Stewart Island. Seeing as you are the people who make the greatest burger in the country, you are now the burger authority. Let's talk about

some things that do and don't belong on burgers. Are you okay with pineapple on a burger? It has its time and place, that's for sure. A nice Hawaiian burger either with chicken or pork.

Are you down with a smash burger? Smash burgers are good if you want the nice crispiness. A lot of the juice comes out, but you need a couple of those smash patties in that burger. And finally, how much does New Zealand's best burger run for? What's it going to cost? Yeah, well, our burger comes with the burger, the fries,

and lots of quality ingredients and craftsmanship, and it retails for 27 pretty good for a whole meal i've seen this thing there's a lot of burger in there yeah it's definitely worth it if you're keen and you want to go and experience this and the catlins it's phenomenal down there just watch out for enormous sea lions on the beach would be my only warning if you're going to the catlins go and see nicole she is at Peaks Kitchen in Papatoa in the Catlins. Congratulations, Nicole. Thanks for talking to us.
