The ZM Podcast Network. Podcast? Yep. I have no idea. Anastasia, you were just talking over the podcast horns there. What was I? What did you have to say? No, you know that thing you were calling, you were talking about?

Yeah. The idea that we're not going to do? Yeah. I was saying... You want to do a prank call on the podcast on channel? I reckon we call them Dank calls Why Because

Because they're going to be Shit prank calls But dank means cool No but also It's like Not cool Yeah Right this is a

Off air conversation I feel Yeah I know It's a brainstorm We'll come No like that's why Like I didn't have My headphones on

So it's my fault I didn't hear it starting Right okay on we'll come no like that's why like i didn't have my headphones on so it's my fault i didn't hear it starting right okay welcome to the podcast everybody including anastasia i heard you say something today brie that i'm not sure you've let the whole team know. You're in the market for another dog. Oh, yeah. It's not a done deal yet. I'm not really allowed to talk about that part. Why not?

Oh, because of the special deal. Yeah. The two-for-one deal. The two-for-one. Getting a free dog. She's adopting a bitch and her name's Anastasia. No, we've been talking about adopting. You think your grass is stuffed now. You wait till Anastasia starts peeing on it.

You should see the poos. Pure pals and powerade that comes out of that woman. We've been talking about adopting a brother or sister for Whitney for a while. Yeah. But do you think it's a big commitment? Oh, yeah. Do you think it's a way bigger commitment going from one dog to two dogs?

I feel like not as much. So the only experience I have is going from one baby to two babies. I feel like that's a little bit different. No, but it's relative, right? Because it's a lot of responsibility. Yeah, it's times two. So everyone's like, oh, man, two kids is so much harder than one. In my experience, and I can't speak for your experience, it's times two. So everyone's like, oh man, two kids is so much harder than one. In my experience, and I can't speak for your experience, it's not.

That's what I seem to think. Going from no kids to one kid is way harder than going from one kid to two kids because you're already doing all of the things that you need to do. It's the same for dogs. You're already walking. You're already kenneling. You're already picking up poo. You're already doing all those things.

So you're just increasing your workload, I reckon, by about 50%. Oh, you reckon another 50%. Not by 100%. Okay. Yeah, see, because... That's cool. I feel like I'm willing, because like you said, I'm already having to do all that stuff.

Yeah. Like, especially going for walks every single day and making sure you do that it's probably the biggest part but that's good which is amazing it's awesome um but then also having the responsibility where you can't stay out late you can't leave them at home for as long but i feel like you've got one dog it's the same if you've got two but also so this is the other thing about having two kids is you might you've you've created a friend for them um this is my biggest so with a dog i mean it doesn't work with kids.

We can't stay out later at night because they can look after each other. They can keep each other. But dogs, can they? It's a comfort. I truly believe that. Like, if you've got two dogs. Especially if they start humping. Joey's like, go to bed, Maggie.

And Maggie's like, you're a fool. We leave the two kids at home all the time now. They've got a friend to play with, so it's fine. We had two kids so me and Lucy can go to the casino. And then Maggie's like, I'm not even one. I'm one. How am I doing? They already know how to do the washing.

You know, you had one of them pull them out. Oh, yeah, I did see that. I think it's awesome if you have the opportunity to have two dogs. Two cats. I've got two cats. Two cats is better than one cat. Exactly. Two cats is double cat though. They have someone to play with. You're anti-cat.

Anastasia's anti-animal. Our horses are okay. Oh my gosh. Our chickens, actually. You like chickens but you don't like dogs. Excuse me, what do dogs produce? Turds. What do eggs produce? Proteins. What do you think chickens do? They shit up a store. What do you think horses do? What do you produce? Turds What do eggs produce? Protein What do you think chickens do?

They shit up a storm What do you think horses do? What do you think those giant logs Coming out the back of a horse were? Yeah but they can jump over logs So can dogs A horse shit on my neck Yeah but you can't ride them over the log

Why does when Anastasia Enter the conversation We start shouting at each other Every podcast If you go back in this podcast Every time she enters She says some whack shit And we just start shouting at each other. Every podcast, if you go back in this podcast, every time she enters, she says some whack shit and we just start shouting at each other.

I was thinking, bringing it back to Bree's discussion about getting another dog. Whitney was in the office the other day. Crazy. It was flippin' hectic. She was all over the place. One minute she's trying to pop a volleyball and then next minute she's trying to bite the head off a duck.

That's a great point. You have to get an old dog. Well, that's what I'm thinking. Does it have to be an old dog? Do you have to match the energy? You need a chilled girl. Whitney's best friend, Boeing, he's a six-year-old German pincer. With an airplane.

And they're like best friends. So I feel like a dog that's between four and six would be good because I feel like it would chill her out a bit. But I'm just excited to adopt a dog and give a dog a home because I mean, it actually brings you so much joy. I can do it, mate. Life's short. Just do it.

I think so too. You'll deal with it. We all adapt. You always make it work, right? Yeah, totally. You always make it work. Done? You'll adapt, yeah, totally. You always make it work. So if your dog is Whitney Houston, proposed new name for potential second dog.

I'm thinking Elton John. Leona Lewis. Leona Lewis? If it's a boy, I'm thinking Elton John. J-Lo, the dog. J-Lo gives Jenny from the block for full name on the birth certificate. Speaking of names, start thinking about this for the next podcast. We will be selecting our Top Gun call signs.

Oh, yeah. What's Top Gun? So like Maverick or Goose or Iceman. Yeah. We need call signs. I'm obsessed with Top Gun and we need call signs. Okay, good idea. So if you'd like to suggest some call signs in the podcast group,

please do that and let us know who they're allocated to. I already know what mine's going to be. Yeah? Camembert. That is dangerous. That is so dangerous. You don't want to fuck with Camembert. Because he will give you the squirts.

And what are the squirts? Fast. Yeah. That was in the air and fast. You never know where they're coming from could be camembert we're open to suggestion

Like, I feel like we should get the day in lieu. We should get it credited back to us. Because it wasn't really, like, it couldn't go on holiday, could you? It doesn't count.

No, what for? Oh, we haven't embarrassed ourselves again, have we? No, not at all. There's a guy by the name, on TikTok,

he goes by the username NatMJ on TikTok. NatMJ. Is that one of those usernames that TikTok generates for you automatically? I think it might be. But anyway, he's gone viral because he's posted a video of himself at a supermarket in Australia buying heaps and heaps of this one particular product.

Okay. And it's titled, When You're Going Back to New Zealand, and he's got a whole trolley of this one particular thing. So he's stocking up on something that, what, we can't get here in New Zealand? Apparently not. Right. So I haven't heard about this, but apparently this is a thing. So it's at the supermarket chain Coles.

Yeah. Which is one of the big supermarkets in Aussie. And it's actually this particular biscuit, this cookie, that it's a Kohl's brand. Right. And apparently they're so good. This is a well-known thing that Kiwis do when they're making the trip from Aussie to New Zealand.

So is it one of those supermarket brand ones? Yes. Is it like a Kohl's brand biscuit? Yes, that's exactly. And then what sort of biscuit is it Is it like a Coles brand biscuit? Yes, that's exactly. And then what sort of biscuit is it? Just like a chocolate chip or something? I think it's a chocolate chip. Right.

Have you had them? You're from Australia. Like looking at them, I don't believe I have had them. Yeah. They're called the Coles Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookies. Are they better than a Farm Bake? Oh, how good's a Farm Bake chocolate chip cookie? Farm Bake is delish.

Well, I haven't had them, so I can't comment. Anyway, how good's a farm bake? Farm bake is delish. Well, I haven't had them so I can't comment. Anyway, after he's posted this on TikTok, there's all these people who are now commenting saying, I literally helped my daughter stock up on these when she went back to Auckland the other week. Wow. Someone said, I'm dead. I work for an airline at the airport

and almost everyone going back to New Zealand has at least one suitcase full of these things. Are you serious? Yeah. I wonder if there's like a black market for them here in New Zealand. Maybe. Like do you bring a suitcase of Coles biscuits over from Australia because you know you can sell them for like $15 a bag or something. Yeah well they're only

$3.50 a box. Yeah. And now I'm in a sub market. Someone's already texted us and said how have you not heard of these? Wow. We haven't. We haven't heard of them. And I I'm in a new sub-market. Someone's already texted us and said, how have you not heard of these? Wow. We haven't. We haven't heard of them. And I'm from Australia.

We're meant to be going to Australia at the end of the month. Oh, we are too. We need to try these biscuits. Should we take some extra suitcases? Should we take some orders? You'd get an extra bag on your Coro membership, wouldn't you? I actually don't have one, but you do. Oh, do I?

Oh, I guess I'll be bringing back some for me then. I've done it before. Yeah, right. Okay, it's the case of that thing that once you get back here, you can't get it here and it makes you want it even more. It does. The minute you can't have something, it goes into this like God-like status where you go,

oh my God, I miss that so much. Do you have anything like that from living here in New Zealand? Chicko roll. Yeah, right. You talk about chicko rolls a lot. where you go, oh my God, I miss that so much. Do you have anything like that from living here in New Zealand? Chick-o-roll. Yeah, right. You talk about Chick-o-rolls a lot. Can we get those when we go to Australia next month? They're just like a spring roll, eh? No, they are not just like a spring roll.

I've seen pictures that look like a spring roll. Have you ever had one? If you haven't, you can't comment on how deliciously disgusting it is. I've had plenty of spring rolls, not the same. For me, it would be, and you've lived in America, you'll know what these are. Actually, you can get, you know, Tostitos corn chips? Yes.

They've just started selling them here in New Zealand, but you can't get scoops. Oh, scoops are good. You can't get the scoops in New Zealand. And, oh man, the scoops are good. So the chip itself is like a spoon and you scoop out the salsa with that. I found one website in New Zealand selling Tostito scoops.

$70 for one bag. One bag? Yeah, for one bag. Can't you get them from that big warehouse place? Can you? I think so. That warehouse? No, no, no.

Not the warehouse. It's the place where we went to buy all the pods in New Zealand. Oh, Gilmore's. Gilmore's. Maybe. Yeah, I think they might sell them. No, I don't think so. I don't think so. Otherwise, they wouldn't be $70 a bag. Oh, Gilmore's. Gilmore's. Maybe. Yeah, I think they might sell them. I don't think so. I don't think so.

Otherwise, they wouldn't be $70 a bag. Oh, I'd go check Gilmore's. They might have them. Producer Anastasia, you've got some international flair to you. What do you wish you could get here in New Zealand? Don't rip me out. It's always going to be something Dutch, the taste of the homeland. We've got Heineken.

Huh? We've got Heineken. Do we? We've got weed here too. Excuse me. I'll take the first. Isn't that from Deutschland? Huh? We've got weed here too. Excuse me. I'll take the first. Isn't that from Deutschland? I don't know what you're talking about.

No, for me it's this thing called Olly Bollies. How I describe them, they're a New Year's dessert, but they're like if you had a hot cross bun, deep fried in huge ball form. Oh, yum. What the hell is this thing? I need to try. They're so good

and you dust them with icing sugar and they are the taste of home. So deep fried donuts and fries with mayonnaise. The closest you can get. The Dutch diet is not the healthiest, is it? You guys have met my Dutch dad.

He's super healthy. We're asking you, what is it that you wish you could get here in New Zealand? You haven't tasted it in ages, you can get it overseas, but you can't get it here. I swear I would pay big money if anyone had a box of Chico Rolls here. Like I would pay some serious money. Aren't they a hot food?

Like they're deep fried or something? You can buy them frozen from like a supermarket in Aussie, which I haven't been able to find them here. I mean, I'd rather just go to a fish and chip shop and they've got them. So if anyone knows of a place, I will drive long distances. And you're definitely not talking about spring rolls, just to be sure. It's a chico roll. A spring roll, different.

Different textures, different filling. We didn't ask sous chef Sam what he wants. So have you got something from overseas you can't get here that you'd love to be able to get here Sam? Oh yeah. So basically when I was in Malaysia a couple of years ago they have these little packets of basically it's like compressed Milo powder

covered in chocolate and they're just like tiny little balls and you're just like. Are you talking about Oval Teenies? No. Oh. Oval Teen. I love Oval Teenies. Is it Milo brand? The one you're talking about? Yes. So it is condensed Milo covered in chocolate? No. Oh, okay. Ovaltine. I love Ovaltinis. Is it Milo brand, the one you're talking about? Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah. So it is condensed Milo covered in chocolate? Yeah.

Oh, that'd be a bit of you, Bree. Sounds like a Malteser. Oh, good. Nah. Which I love. Nah, Maltesers are malt, aren't they? Oh. Well, so is Milo.

Well, Milo is malt. Isn't it Milo? Sounds like we need to try it, Sam. Let's go to Anita. Hi. Hi, Anita. Hi. What is it?

What do you wish we could get here in New Zealand? Okay, so this is nowhere near as exciting for you guys as chocolate-covered Milo and all those amazing things, but this is something that has been haunting my dreams for like five years. I went to Australia shopping in Coles, and I found the most amazing gluten-free bread. It's Helga's.

It is green. It is actually squishy. And I could not, you can eat it like actual bread. And it is so delicious. And I have considered, like, ordering a crate of it from Australia. But I just, like, can't. That would cost $1,000. That would be so expensive.

I knew it was going to be something gluten-free, the way you were talking about it. You're like, it's not as exciting as everyone else, but trust me, if you're gluten intolerant, you will get me. Are you celiac, Anita? I am. I feel for you because the gluten-free area in any supermarket is dismally small, right?

Oh, it's getting bigger. It's getting better. It's getting better. And if you swap stuff out, it can be doable. But when I had this bread for the first time, I panicked. I spat it out and I checked the packet. Because you thought it was real bread. That's how good it was.

Anita, there's only one way forward. There's only one way forward. You buy a deep freeze. I'm not moving to Australia. You buy a deep freeze and you order a whole pallet and you stockpile that stuff in your deep freeze. Hey, if you can crowdsource enough people who are gluten-free

that want to go in on a container... I like that. Maybe that'll be the next thing our radio show does. Gluten-free army? I don't know. Let's go to Levi. Hi, Levi. What is it that you want? You can't get it here. What do you really wish we could get?

Okay, so it's not international, but surely someone remembers the series Bugs and Mud from Hobbits that discontinued years ago. Do they not make Bugs and Mud anymore? No, I've Googled it and everything. It's been discontinued years ago. Bugs and Mud. Oh, my God.

Bugs and Mud was iconic. It's kind of like Coco Pops, except it's got white stuff in it as well. They're meant to look like maggots, weren't they? Yeah, they were. Oh no! Don't know about that.

Interesting, Bugs in Mud, that's a good one. So many people texting through with stuff. Someone said Caramello Koalas, which are delicious. Someone else said Smith's salt and vinegar chips. Someone said chicken twisties from Australia. Oh, my God, twisties in general. Yeah.

Oh, the chicken ones are really good. And my favourite text, someone goes, bring back red rooster, especially the chicken rolls. Oh, my God, about time someone said it. How did they get that bread so soft, eh? It's so soft. Finally, Eliza, what do you wish you could get here in New Zealand? Well, I don't have to wish anymore because I came back from Sydney on Saturday

with a whole freezer trolley full of them. Oh, my God, yes. Along the same chicken roll line is Dim Sims. Oh, stop it, Eliza. Dim Sims. I've literally bought hundreds home with me. How many? Can I buy some off you?

No. Oh, damn it. How did you get... Are they frozen? How did you get a frozen thing over in your suitcase? Oh, freezer blocks and a... She made it work. ...a crummy type esky thing that falls.

You would have looked so dodgy going through customs. Seriously. I was trying to explain to them that there's pork in there, but it's totally safe for the customs guy. It's not fun. Can you imagine someone's like, what have you got in there? And Eliza's like, live organs. Oh, sweet.

Let me through. As long as you don't have any food. Bree and Clint from iHeartRadio. This is the latest live from LA with Dean McCarthy. Dean, everyone is talking about this new season of Stranger Things, but it's now been released. How much each cast member gets paid for the show? Oh, I love this.

This is one of my favourite stories when we talk about money. So Millie Bobby Brown, obviously the star. In the first season, right, she got paid about $250,000 for the season. Okay, not bad. Not bad. She's now getting $300,000 per episode. Per episode. The boys

are actually getting $250,000 an episode. She's up there at $300,000. Here's the thing, right? When your show becomes so successful and you are so pivotal to the show, you can't really have the show without them. That's when you can demand the really obnoxious big bucks.

And, you know, I think she could probably ask for more, really. Next season. Imagine what next season she's going to get. Yeah. Yeah, definitely.

Oh, I can just imagine. Well, this season's been split over two as well, so there's a big gap before part two of this season comes out. She'll be milking it. $300,000 an episode.

That's amazing. Plus, she'll be in line for big movie deals after this. She's the breakout star of this show comes out, she'll be milking it. 300 grand an episode. That's amazing. Plus, she'll be in line for big movie deals after this. She's the breakout star of this show, right, Dean? Yeah. Oh, 100%. She's going to be absolutely enormous.

But apparently, she's actually very talented. She actually directed, she directed the girl that played the younger version of her as well. So she's actually really, really talented. She might even go into that kind of direction as well as being, like, she's actually really, really talented.

She might even go into that kind of direction as well as being a movie star. She's super talented. I also read somewhere, Dean, that the cast were actually given significant pay rises after the row about gender pay gaps in the entertainment industry, like after the first couple of seasons, and she wasn't getting paid enough in relation to her, you know, role on the show compared to the male cast. Yeah.

And then they've, like, changed it around and they've paid them all more. So quite interesting. That is the latest on how much the cast of Stranger Things are making with our Hollywood correspondent, Dean McCarthy. Next on the show, I've got a big concert announcement. There's a big constant announcement. Oh, my God. Friday James Live's back.

Almost as big as that. Whoa. Bree and Clint. Oh, don't start now. Don't. Don't even think about it. Not now, okay? I don't have time for this now.

Hey, I've got a big constant announcement to make. You've really built this up. It better be big. It better be like an announcement where I'm like, oh, my God. Well, if you can't get excited about this concert announcement, if it's the Wiggles, I'm out. If it's the Wiggles, I'm out of this studio. Why?

Because that is not relevant to me as a person. Oh, is it all about you, is it? Well, yes. Is it all about you? Well, yes, because you built that. Are you the only person that any band would ever tour for? Is it an audience of one? If you're coming to New Zealand and you want to perform, it's Brie.

You just need Brie to buy a ticket. Is that what it is? Well, you said it. Well, I can announce that Australian music royalty. The Wiggles. The Wiggles. I can announce that Australian music royalty. The Wiggles. The Wiggles. I called it. Hot potato, hot potato.

Hot potato, hot potato. The Wiggles are coming back to New Zealand. They came last year in between COVID lockdowns and they couldn't get enough, so they're coming back. Anthony, Simon, Lockie and the new Yellow Wiggles, Sahai, are coming. I don't even know these people. This isn't even the originals.

Oh mate, do your research. It's like saying One Direction is coming, Harry will be there and some other different people that they've replaced the other band members with. Well they've only replaced Emma. Emma is no longer in the band. Greg! Greg's the original Yellow Wiggles. Oh, he's long gone.

Make it with the program. Where's Greg? Shotgun not telling three-year-olds that Emma is no longer in the band and not coming for the concert because they will lose their fricking minds. If kids love anything, it's Emma from the Wiggles. That's like losing. That's like if One Direction was still together

and Harry being the first to go. Totally. Yeah. Totally. But Sahai's cool. She's only 16 years old, so she's going to be touring with her mum. What a great gig that girl's got.

Right? I wonder how much she gets paid. Oh, you'd love to know, eh? Yeah, I'd love to know. Have to be good. They've taken her out of school. You say The Wiggles is not relevant. They're coming here to do 17 shows, Bree.

17 shows. And you're going to every single one, aren't you? I was about to suggest. You want to go on a Wiggly bender with me? I will pay money to see you go on every single one. To go to all the Wiggles concerts. All 17 Wiggles shows. Yes, and you have to take both your daughters,

including some of your friends' kids as well. Oh, no. I was keen to tell the kids that, yeah. We can get a bus or the big red car and you can travel around the country. Good luck securing 17 Wiggles tickets. These things go like... How much? How much?

How much? How much? How much? Hot potatoes? Hot potatoes. Potato, potato, potato. How much are tickets you reckon? I don't know.

I actually have no idea. I've never had to buy them before. You've never taken your daughter, Tui, who loves the Wiggles. Oh, you're going this way. She doesn't know that they have a live act. I'm going to call her. That's Wilkinson and Becky Hill. Okay, you're up for a bit, right?

You're up for a good time. You're a good sport. You're up for a good time. You're a good sport. You're up for this. I usually, look, I get involved where I can. Yeah. But sometimes when you leave the entire bet logistics up to one person, it can be worrying.

I'll make you this bet now and it will cost you no money. Okay? No money whatsoever. It's not a cash bet. Maybe I'd rather pay the money. Okay. Well, this week, it's game one of your beloved State of Origin. In fact, it's tomorrow night State of Origin game one. Oh, my God.

I can't wait. The Queensland Maroons take on your beloved New South Wales Blues. No. No, my beloved Maroons take on the New South Wales Blues. But what about what James Tedesco said? Hey, Brie. James Tedesco here. I know how much of a supporter you are. Your blood runs blue.

Even though you're from Queensland, you're a proud New South Wales supporter. No, take this off. So is your mum and dad. I've heard that once. Captain of the New South Wales Blues. No, you think this is all fun and games. This is like me saying to you,

oh, your favourite team, the Wallabies. Not believable, though. I hate the Wallabies. Not believable, though. I hate the Wallabies. Your favourite team, the Crusaders. We know you're a Crusaders fan. Okay, okay. I joke, you're a Maroons fan. I am.

Okay, I'll give you that. Through and through. I'll make you bet right now. If the Maroons win on Wednesday night in game one of State of Origin, I will wash your car inside and out. I'll vacuum it. I'll make it spotless. I'll give your car a full valet if the Maroons win.

It has recently been cleaned. Well, you can cash it in when you want. Okay. Okay, that's good. You can cash it in when you want. I like that. Coincidentally, it's Super Rugby finals this weekend as well. Yes.

And the Auckland Blues are playing the Brumbies at Eden Park. So Queensland versus the Auckland Blues. Kind of. Brumbies are from ACT but kind of. I thought they were from Queensland. No, the Queensland team's called the Reds. By the by. Yeah, of course they are.

So the Auckland Blues are playing at Eden Park. If the New South Wales Blues win tomorrow night, you will attend the Auckland Blues game in a New South Wales Blues jersey. Which is funny for two reasons. One, you hate them.

And two, everyone will go, oh, wrong jersey, idiot. Oh, bro, you got the wrong jersey. So many times. There'll be 40,000 people there and every single one of them will go, oh, wrong blues, idiot. Oh, bro, you've got the wrong jersey. So many times. There'll be 40,000 people there and every single one of them will go, oh, wrong blues, idiot. Oh, wrong blues. That will be

such a punish. So what this comes down to is, how much do you back your team? If you believe that your team, the Queensland Maroons, are strong and fierce and out to win State of Origin tonight, then it's not even a thing.

You're just going to say yes and get a free car wash. Look, I mean, we did have a great run. Eight Origins in a row. We went back to back and it was an unbeatable team. In recent years, we have had a few issues. We had to rebuild. Such is life. Such is life.

We've had to rebuild. There's been some shaky moments. Moments where I thought we win no games in the series. I haven't done super big amounts of research this series. Are we playing at home? I'm not asking you to do any research. I don't know where the game is being played. I'm just asking you on gut feel to say, do you back your team?

Oh, back in the boys. You're back in the boys? Are we doing this? No, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. What do I get if the Maroons win? I clean your car inside and out. That's right. Where have you been for the last three months?

Maroons win, I clean your car. Maroons lose, you wear a blues jersey to the blues. It's as simple as that. I'll find the jersey, I'll buy the tickets. It's easy. You don't have to do anything. Two car cleans. Okay, well, two'll buy the tickets. It's easy. You don't have to do anything. Two car cleans. Okay, well, two blues jerseys.

Yeah, I'll give one to you. One car clean, one rugby game. Deal? That means, okay, fine. Deal. There we go. Perfect. Well, they're not going to lose.

No, they're not going to lose. They're not going to lose. Can't wait to have a clean car. Yeah, right. I like new car smell scent. So if you can buy some of that to spray inside the car. Yeah, I'm not going to lose. I can't wait to have a clean car. Yeah, right. I like new car smell scent, so if you can buy some of that to spray inside the car, it'll be good. Yeah, cool. We've already ordered the jersey, so. And bought you some seats right on

halfway. Why are you so confident? We're going to try and get you on TV. Free and Clint. Hey, that song there, Kate Bush, Running Up That Hill, I've had it stuck in my head all long weekend. I binge watched two seasons of Stranger Things over the long weekend. Yeah.

And that song there, I already knew, but it just fits the vibe of that show. Yeah. Which I see why they've used it in season four. And you're not even up to the episode where that song features Abe. No. It's so well placed, that song. Like it fits the character. Is someone running Abe. No. It's so well placed, that song. Like it fits the character.

Is someone running up a hill? No, but well, like hypothetically. Yes. Metaphorically. Definitely. Yeah. Definitely. Yeah, good.

Good from them. I was thinking about this the other day because I'm like, Kate Bush would be loving this. We spoke about it last week. Currently that song is number two in New Zealand. She did a post the other day. Did she? Saying how stoked she is.

I imagine she would be. Imagine the money she'd be getting. The song is 40 years old and it is now more successful than it has ever been because of Stranger Things. Isn't that wild? I was thinking about this. I feel like it would be cool? I was thinking about this. I feel like it would be cool if we kind of did this. What do you mean?

You know, like, obviously there was that song that went viral last year, came back into the charts from Stevie Nicks. Fleetwood Mac. From Fleetwood Mac. Yeah. Could we come up with a song that we could make have a resurgence? Well, for this to go back into the charts,

it took one guy on a skateboard drinking some cranberry juice to get three million TikTok likes. I think it's doable. It's a big ass. I think it's doable. We just need to come up with a good marketing plan. But the biggest thing though, Clint, is it needs to be the right song.

It has to be the right song. You know? Yeah, yeah. It needs to be the right song, right moment. And I thought we could brainstorm. I mean, if we can't come up with the song, then it's a bad idea. Fletch and Vaughn had some success with a concept like this

about 10 years ago now. Toto Africa. Toto Africa. Toto Africa. But that's back when people were still buying music. See, we'd have to do it off Spotify streams, wouldn't we? But that means we'd have to get a team of people, and I'm talking to you guys listening,

to all go stream stuff. Okay, I've got some song suggestions. Okay. What about Afro Man? Who doesn't love Afro Man? I mean, would it be more relevant if the, you know, the last... Oh, the weed referendum. Yeah, yeah.

If the referendum had went different. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was going to vote in the weed referendum, but then I got high. But then you got high, yeah. I had an idea. Yeah? Do you remember this absolute banger from Chaka Khan? Oh.

Do I remember it being on the radio? No, but I know of the song. But that's the point, right? Yeah. And we could even maybe remix it. I don't know, zhuzh it up. Yep. That's what Kygo does.

Or. Yeah. I mean, it's a great song. Yeah. Great song, all right. But I feel like the appeal of like the Kate Bush song or Fleetwood Mac. Yeah. Great song, all right. But I feel like the appeal of the Kate Bush song or Fleetwood Mac is that you don't still hear it all the time. But can you imagine this on Stranger Things?

Just as Eleven's going down the wormhole or something. Get the demogorgon! Get her! Bree and Clint. Oh, I feel we're on to a winner, Clint. You reckon? I mean, Stranger Things is doing it. Dogface368521 from TikTok, he did it.

Yeah. And he brought a song from back in the day into new life. Yeah, it's really given it a whole new lease on life and given the artists a whole new payday as well. Yeah, which is awesome. Yeah. Like, can you imagine Kate Bush? She's just chilling at home.

Nick Minnich. She's like, what? She gets a call from Stranger Things. They're like, can we use your song? And she's like, oh, yeah. Oh, they did it. Yeah, yeah. I'm not doing anything with it.

You can use it. Next minute, boom. 40 years later. Super successful. So you think we could do the same thing if we find the right song? And we've asked the people, what is the right song? It needs to be the right song. What song can we could do the same thing if we find the right song and we've asked the people what is the right song. It needs to be the right song. What song can we bring back to life?

Dan thinks he knows what it is. Dan, what's the song we should bring back? G'day, guys. It'll have to be George Michael, Faith. Oh, what a tune. What is it about this song, Dan, that you think means it needs to come back? I think everybody loves to sing along to it and it's just a great song. It's a feel-good song for sure.

You're on the money, Dan. There's also another option is you could do the Limp Bizkit remix of it. No, too far. Oh, Dan. No, you're too far. You took it too far, Dan. Oh, way too far, Dan. Oh, no, Dan.

Yeah. Okay, great suggestion. Let's go to Grant. Hi, Dan. Oh, way too far, Dan. Oh, no, Dan. Yeah? Okay, great suggestion. Let's go to Grant. Hi, Grant. Hi, Grant. How are we going, guys? What do you think, Grant?

What's the song that should be brought back into popularity? It's got to be Big Yo Taxi, surely. It's a great song. What a tune, Grant. I totally forgot about this song. How many times a day do you think you could stream this song personally? Because we'd need to get big numbers happening, Grant. I just have it constant. Constantly?

Well, Grant, I feel like we'd get the taxis on board, so that'd be good. Yeah. Not the Ubers, though. No, no. We hate that song. Justine's here. Hi, Justine.

Hi, Justine. Hey, guys. How are you? You've called in to vote for Afro Man because I got high. No, I didn't, Selena. Oh, have you not? Oh. What's the song that you think we should bring back?

I reckon you should do a remix of Eye of the Tiger by Survivor. This is a banger. There's just something great about this song, Justine. It's a classic. I reckon you could do a dance to it. You could go viral on TikTok. I don't think you mess with a classic, though. I don't think you can remix this. I think you have to put the original out there, don't you? Oh, Katy Perry did it. You could go viral on TikTok. I don't think you mess with a classic, though. I don't think you can remix this.

I think you have to put the original out there, don't you? Oh, Katy Perry did it. Put your mind to it. You can do anything, guys. Very good point. We can ruin any song, Justin, if we really put our minds to it. Indeed. Okay, thank you, Justin.

Great suggestion. Liz is here. Hi, Liz. G'day, Liz. Hi. Come on, you've got the winner, Liz. What song do you think we should bring back to life? Definitely that boy Slim Praise.

Oh. It's already got dance moves too. Remember the music video? Yeah. Yeah, I like it. Okay. This is a fantastic song. Can I float one to you that I've just had a thought on? Yeah. Yeah, I like it. Okay. This is a fantastic song.

Can I float one to you that I've just had a thought on? Yeah. What if we did Return of the Mac? And we called it The Return of the Mac. Yeah, that's good. It's in the title. It's good. Return of the Mac. I like it.

Just an idea. All right, so where do we go from here? How do we go to a deliberation? Should we put up an Instagram poll? Yeah. Yeah, and then start, you know, facing songs off against each other or should we just not do it because it sounds real hard? Bree and Clint.

Last night, LEGO Masters Aotearoa crowned its first ever champions and we're excited to have them in studio with us. Please welcome to the studio Glenn Knight and Jake Roos. Literally the Lego Masters. Lads, I mean, what a day for you guys. Has it been a big celebration? Did you hit the cans hard last night? No, we had

maybe one drink. Age now, that's like, two's kind of enough, to be honest. So you hit it hard then, your age group. Yeah, two's enough for me too. Two on a Monday night, that's plenty. That's heaps. That's good. So you two are the first ever LEGO Masters Aotearoa.

I was wondering, does that afford you special privileges in the LEGO universe? Like, can you get a discount on bricks or can you go into the VIP lounge at LEGOLAND Dubai or something like that? I think it gives a bit of cred. Yeah. Yeah, I think it's just a badge of honour, really,

rather than a VIP pass. You reckon you've got to try it, though. Like, have you been to LEGOLAND before? I think it's just a badge of honour, really, rather than a VIP pass. You've got to try it, though. Like, have you been to Legoland before? Yes, I have, actually. You have? We took the Legoland Windsor with my family. Okay.

It was amazing. Because if you went and said, I am a Lego Masters champion, surely that... They wouldn't believe you, because a lot of people probably say that. You know? Yeah. In the prize last night, part of it is you won a $25,000 warehouse voucher. What are you going to spend that on? Lego, probably. Yeah, there'll be a fair amount of that, I imagine.

Yeah? Yeah, yeah. Absolutely. It's probably the highlights of the warehouse, I have to say, is the Lego aisle. Definitely. Does it make you want to do more builds on camera? Like, now that you've done this, have you thought about streaming? Yeah, or you could Twitch it. You could Twitch stream some of your- I'd happily never be on a camera again. You never want to be on builds on camera like now that you've done this maybe thought about streaming yeah or you could twitch it you could twitch stream some of you be on a camera again you never

want to be on tv while you go one way or the other how much lego do you guys own already like what's in your collection what do you think it's worth the collection you've got at home no comment put it this way if you have to fill out an application for a mortgage and you have to list your assets is lego a big chunk of what goes on that sheet i don't know are we register yeah it wouldn't register it's it's definitely significant i mean we're just but don't keep track of it because it's kind of embarrassing you have just lived a lot of kids dreams and adults dreams as well by being on this show. What's your advice to kids

who have watched Lego Masters Aotearoa and want to do what you guys have done? First of all, build what's on the box and then take it apart. Because sometimes people are just like, oh, the set looks so lovely and so clever. I couldn't do better than that, so I'm not going to take it apart.

But that's what Lego is for. It seriously is. It can go together literally, well not literally but an infinite number of ways in practical terms and sure it might not be too refined to begin with but over time you just get better and better

and you can start building things out of your head. You can have a new toy every day. Use your imagination. that's what it's about well congratulations guys we're stoked for you guys and we're very excited that we could meet you in person well done on being crowned the first ever lego masters champions and good news it's just been confirmed that lego masters will return for season two in early 2023 and the whole season one can be streamed on demand now at TVNZ on demand. Glenn and Jake, thank you very much guys. Congrats guys. Cheers.

Did you do Breakfast TV today as well? Yeah. I saw you guys on there. You still got your make-up on? Yeah. We rebuilt Broken Heart. A miniature version of it.

Yeah, you can have the KFC. You can't had, Sophie. Sophie, you get the KFC, mate. Oh, really? Yeah, you can have the KFC.

You can't have the win, but you can have the KFC. Look, should I add that I'm vegetarian? Oh, my God. But my husband loves KFC. Well, your husband is going to be very stoked, and you call back any time because you're fantastic at that game. Look, I'm incredibly competitive, so. Oh, we can tell. Oh, we can tell.

Oh, we can tell. At least you had the chops to back it up. That was Sophie Alice Bixter, everybody. We can't wait for some new music, Sophie. Bree and Clint. True story. A woman named Sarah Doyle who was living overseas, Australian woman.

She was living overseas in London, and she moved back home in the 2020 lockdown. And she didn't really have a lot of friends. She didn't know heaps of people because she'd been living away for so long. Yeah. And, look, she left a marriage behind. Okay. And so she was kind of starting afresh.

Yeah, that's a real cold start. You know, big moves happening. And she goes, right, how am I? Stink time to do it too during a lockdown. I know, I know. But she was really, she's really into surfing and she's like, oh, I'd love to meet some new people, make some friends to go surfing with. Hot surfy dudes.

So she decided that she was going to put an online ad on Gumtree, which is the Aussie version of Trade Me. Oh, okay. So just an ad. She put it up there being like, hey, like-minded people, if you can to go for a surf and hang out, I'd love to meet you. Which is, I mean. Did she put the gender of the people that she's attracted?

No. And then she just said. No, it was open to anyone. She was just looking for friends and to meet new people. She wasn't really looking for a date. She didn't frame it as a date. No. She was just looking for a group of people she could hang out with

and go surfing with. Anyway, she said she got lots of random replies from, you know, people she wasn't typically looking for. Yeah. But this one particular inbox came through and it was from a guy called Rodney. And he said, hi, I've never surfed before, but I'm looking to try. Anyway, she looked him up on Facebook. He looked pretty normal.

Yeah. And she met up with him and some other people, not just him, but she met up with him. And a year and a half later, they're about to have their first baby. Oh my God. She's having a kid with this guy. Yeah. They hit it off. Must have been a good surfing session. I know. Well. That's kind of cute though, eh? Like she's like, oh, I can show you what to do. Yeah. You got to do a little bit like this. So she's obviously taught him how to surf. Yeah. And things have kicked off from there. Is that the key to it, do you think? You said that she wasn't framing it as a date.

She was just setting up a social interaction. So there's no pressure there. Yeah. There's no expectation that you click straight away. You know, you can just meet as friends, even though she's desperately scoping out every guy that's there and going, which one can I marry? Which one can I marry?

Which one can I marry? Well, we don't know that. But it is always good to get to know someone as friends first, I think. It does take the pressure off things. But isn't that cute? Like what an interesting story to tell your kid of how you met. Where did you guys meet? On Trade Me?

Yeah. We, you know. Your mum put an ad out there and I replied. And then boom, here we are. I was the highest bidder and then we're about to get married. It's cool. It's like you can do a bit of research too which online dating is good for. You can

sort of Google them a bit. This allows her to do that too so she's not going into it blind. And there's a group of people there as well. It's a good idea. It takes heaps of pressure off. Yeah. The only downside is you have to know how to surf. Yeah.

I mean, that's the one downside. What could you do? If you're not a surfer, what could you do here? You could go... Beekeeping. You can go beekeeping. Where are you going to get some bees from? I don't know.

There's places around that do beekeeping days. This is the problem with people who don't have hobbies. It's even harder to meet like-minded people if you don't have a hobby. See, surfing's such a cool hobby. So cool, yeah. And like when you meet people. You know they're going to be hot. What about a dog meet-up?

Dog meet-up is a great idea. Yeah. Because like-minded people with dogs, you know, you can have that already in common. And if your dogs start humping, you can go, oh, should we? That looks like fun. Should we give that a go?

Have you ever met someone in an interesting way or just your standard, you know, stock standard? Stock standard. Dating app, bar? No, no dating app or bars. Just the very Kiwi way of friend of a friend or actually, I think that's it. Just friend of a friend. Friend of a friend or actually I think that's it. Just friend of a friend. Friend of a friend, yeah.

You all kind of, hey, if you set me up, I'll set you up. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Hey, that's the deal. That is the deal. I'm not setting you up, eh? All right. I'm not setting you up. I'm reaching the marrying age.

Which one of my friends has a friend who's going to marry me? Do you remember the story I told you about how I met someone one time? No. I was working in promo for this radio station and we were working at this event and it was at this tennis event where we were running this competition where if you hit balls into this giant cup. Anyway, it doesn't matter.

But people had to come over and they had to sign up and then they had to, you know, blah, blah, blah. Anyway, I met this person because they came over and they had to sign up and then they had to, you know, blah, blah, blah. Anyway, I met this person because they came over and they did this competition. And then I got their number off the call sheet. That's inappropriate. So inappropriate. You took advantage of your position.

I did, which I mean, I was the lowest of the low, so technically. No wonder you were so keen to go on that Friday Okie tour last year. Hey. You wanted to pash some more listeners. Shut up. Bree and Clint. Did you meet your partner in an interesting way? were so keen to go on that Friday Okie tour last year. Hey. You want to bash some more listeners. Shut up. Did you meet your partner in an interesting way? Not your typical ways.

You know, like through a friend or at a nightclub, dating apps. Creative way. Yeah. Or an out of the box way. Essentially we're looking to mine your relationship success for other people. You know? It's tough out there. It is hard. Especially post-COVID when everyone's funny and you know, it's tough out there. Especially post-COVID

and everyone's funny and, you know, everything's a bit weird and not everything's back to normal. Exactly. So we're coming up with some ideas for you. Angela's here.

Hi, Angela. Hi, Ange. Oh, g'day. I'm up first. Hi. Ange, I heard you've got a fiancé. Did you meet them in an interesting way?

I sure did. So he'll kill me if he hears this on the radio. But he knocked on my door. He was my insurance broker. He turned up to sort out my life insurance, et cetera. And I thought he was pretty hot in his suit. So I pretty much just pursued that.

Wait a minute. You're telling me, Angela, that some adult film storylines can come true. Amazing. Previously, Angela had dated a plumber. A pizza guy. A pizza guy and the mailman. Yeah.

Yeah, yeah. She's settled for door-to-door insurance broker. You've given so many people hope. Hey, well done, Angela. Although your story's a little bit unrelatable in that the love of your life just showed up to your door. You didn't even have to work for it. Serendipitous. Yeah, so yeah.

But pretty much just girls, if you like the look of them, don't be shy, you know. There you go. That's good advice, Ange. We like that. You've got to go for it. Our next person wants to be anonymous. Hi, Anonymous. Hi, Anonymous. Ange. You've got to go for it. Our next person wants to be anonymous. Hi, Anonymous.

Hi, Anonymous. Are you the insurance broker, are you? No. Did you meet your partner in an interesting way, Anonymous? I did, yeah. So it starts off pretty basic. I had DM'd an ex-Australian maths husband who had recently moved back to New Zealand. So

we got chatting and then he ended up calling me, and we realised very quickly that we weren't going to be compatible because I was Christian and he wasn't. And then we joked that we would wing that for each other. So when he hung up the phone, he messaged me right back, and he was like, my flatmate knows a really nice guy. I think you might like him, and got us connected. And then so I ended up dating that person who he connected me with. Okay, can we just go back to the start of what you said? You DM'd an ex-husband of Married at First Sight Australia.

Did we hear that correct? Correct. Why did you DM him? He was cute. I like that, Anonymous. You've got to go for it. You've got to shoot your shot. Can we ask which ex-husband?

Yeah, he was from like season two. Go for it. You've got to shoot your shot. Can we ask which ex-husband? Yeah. He was from like season two. So I actually don't remember the season to be completely honest. His name was Michael. Michael Hughes? Okay. Michael. We'll do some Googling.

I've got to do it right now. Michael Hughes, maths. Hughes or Humes? Hughes. Hughes. Oh, yes. I remember this guy. Yeah, he was sweet.

So you ended up getting with a friend of his friend. Is that right? Yes. Oh, my God. He was married to my friend Bella who works in radio back in Australia. That's why I remember this guy. Oh, this is too small. It's very small.

Yeah, right. Yeah, okay. It so is. Okay. There's so many great texts coming through on this. The interesting place you met your partner. Someone said, I met my now husband at the beach. I wrote my number on his arm in sunblock.

If he was keen for you from the start, he would be desperately trying to get that arm to burn. Yeah, can you imagine? He'd be like, burn this number into my arm. Because that's risky. Yeah. It is risky. Someone else said-

In that area, he could just write the number down, I guess. Yeah, well, that too. Or just get his phone and, you know, just transfer it. Someone else said, I met my now partner through a flatmate wanted ad at the supermarket notice board 11 years ago. I love those boards. They've got some interesting stuff on them. We're now married with two kids. Well, I wonder if you could just put up boyfriend wanted on that board.

Hi, Poppy. Hi, Poppy. Hi, how you doing? How'd you meet your partner? My dad picked my husband up hitchhiking. You're kidding me. Are you being for real? Yeah, so my husband was originally from Germany

and he was travelling around with a mate. And yeah, my dad picked him up. They wanted to come to our hometown and he said, oh, you guys can come and stay with us. And yeah, here we are 12 years later. Were you in the car when you picked him up? And your dad was just like, oh, I'll take you home. You'd be good for my daughter.

Well, no, I don't think that was his first thought, but my family's definitely met some good friends through the years. But, yeah, none that have married into the family except for him. Honestly, I feel like a lot of these stories are just all adult film storylines. Yeah, yeah, or bad advice. Yeah. That sounds risky. I mean, it worked for you, Poppy. That's so cool.

Kara You just won birthday banner Congratulations Reverse aging So you don't even It's not even like because Botox and other things

like that's preventable not appearance medicine they're talking about proper like gene editing that reverses the aging process

in your body not just not just how you look how your body is we're talking organs we're talking lifespan we're talking

brain totally lungs so they're saying within our lifetime they'll be able to yeah not only slow it down but reverse it according to professor of molecular and reverse it yeah i knew missy elliot was onto something according to the professor of molecular biology david sinclar from harvard university most diseases that we encounter are caused by aging. And if they reverse aging, the diseases shouldn't happen at all. They're talking like you will no longer have to worry about cancer in your 70s, heart disease in your 80s, Alzheimer's in your 90s.

And they believe they've unlocked the technology to allow human beings to go into their hundreds, to live into their hundreds. Oh, see, I don't know about that, eh? Well, it's a real moral conundrum, eh? I mean, it's such a big commitment and I'm afraid of commitment, as we know, and I feel like, you know, I signed up.

Well, I technically didn't sign up for this, but, you know, you sign up knowing in the contract you've got, you know, X amount of years, which you might not. Yes, and you sign up knowing in the contract you've got X amount of years, which you might not. Yes, and you get it done in that space. But adding how many years are we talking? Well, at the moment, life expectancy is like 80s, if you're lucky. Yeah.

To say that you will live into your hundreds, you're going to need more KiwiSaver. You're going to be healthy, so you're going to need to work for longer. You won't be retiring at 65. We're going to need more houses're going to be healthy. So you're going to need to work for longer. You won't be retiring at 65. We're going to need more houses. There'll be more people. It poses such a massive question. More pollution. More pollution, potentially.

The earth is already in trouble. Yeah. All I really want out of this, though, is I don't have to be, I don't have to have all my aging reversed. You don't have to change my appearance. What part do you want reversed? I just, what? The what? Did you say the ball no no there's nothing i just heard it gets you know that part for you guys

is like our necks on women you know she said ball thing by the way i just want to go back to what hangovers were like in my 20s that's all i want i want i want my life now with my experience and i'm happy with the aging that I've had. That's a great one. I just want after a night out to be able to bounce back the same way I did when I was 21. That is such a good one. Yeah. I know what I'd want.

Yeah. All I'd want is to wake up from a night's sleep not feeling like I'd been hit by a fridge. Like all I was doing was laying down and I think my shoulder was out. My back hurts. That's all I want Well according to science it's on the way everybody Oh thank god Time for the latest From iHeartRadio

This is the latest Live from LA with Dean McCarthy Johnny Depp is clearly celebrating his victory in court Dean And splashing out on a big dinner. He sure is. He was in London. He had an Indian feast with 20 of his close friends. The bill came to $62,000.

$62,000. How? He got the bill. Well, look, you know, there was expensive champagne and there was incredible wine. It says a curry dinner. I don't know where the curry came from. I've been helicoptered in.

Yeah. Yeah, exactly. Did they order 100 naan breads? Like, what is going on? I mean, worth it because a naan bread is amazing. But, jeez. Oh, it's worth it. Hey, I've got to tell you, though, let's talk about this.

I don't mean to be Debbie Downer or Negative Nancy, but Johnny Depp, if you're listening or streaming online or have the podcast, he needs to get a grip on his money. There was one point, right, or Negative Nancy, but Johnny Depp, if you're listening or streaming online or have the podcast, he needs to get a grip on his money. There was one point, right, in his career, he was spending $2 million a month. That was his expenses. One of his expenses, okay, was a pirate ship. I'm not kidding.

This is not a joke. I'm not cheating you up. He actually owned a pirate ship. He bought a pirate ship, like a real one, and had it all restored and everything. And it was like $600,000 a month in maintenance and stuff I think he needs to just chill

I think he needs to chill and go and get some takeout, maybe some Thai Uber Eats perhaps, I don't know if he needs $62,000 No, he clearly has no concept of how much things are worth, so if he did get Uber Eats he'd tip the guy $50,000, he'd be like cool man thank you, is that enough? Is that enough? And the guy's like,

you know what it'll do for today. It's just ridiculous to think you would get to that point where you just have no idea really what you should be spending. You would never think about money. It'd be the weirdest thing. But on the flip side of that, Dean, he's just turned down $300

million to do a Pirates of the Caribbean movie. So he's spending like there's no tomorrow, but he's turning down $300 million deals. It doesn't make any sense. I reckon he's going to, you know, I've said this before and it might be an unpopular opinion, but I actually think that he's going to make a pretty big comeback in terms of his acting. So many people are obsessed in love with him right now. So he might be able to charge some big bucks. So maybe he's thinking, he might be putting this on credit card. He might be thinking, you know what, put it on credit.

I've got this. We're good. He's going to do Edward Scissorhands number two, I think, the sequel. Yeah. Yeah. Can't wait for that. I've got some saucy survey results, guys. And I'm bringing them to the show because I feel like everyone might benefit from these results.

A survey has been done about adult bedroom habits, indoor gardening habits by the website illicitencounters.com. Okay. And it's revealed what both genders are guilty of saying after indoor gardening. Right. Different on both sides. Yeah.

But some are similar. The post-coital conversation. Yes. The aftermatch debrief. Exactly. Look, I want to go through, we'll go through the blokes and the ladies. Should we start with what came in third for the women? Go on.

What do you think most women say after indoor gardening that came in third? I'm not sleeping in that. And they gesture down to the sooting part of the bed. I'm not sleeping in that. No, it's give me a cuddle. Oh, okay. Well, that's much more romantic. Sure, Give Me a Cuddle.

Way, way more romantic. What do you think? That was my second guess. It was for the lads. That was good for me. How was that for you? I've got to go. Which also came in seventh for the ladies.

Right, okay. They also say that quite a lot. They've pre-ordered the Uber. Yes. My Uber's here. Sorry, okay. They also say that quite a lot. They've pre-ordered the Uber. Yes. Oh, God, my Uber's here. Oh, sorry, I've got to go. I've got to do the groceries. It's three in the morning.

The guy's like, when did you order that? And she's like, oh, just before we started. Okay, what's number two? Number two for the ladies, don't fall asleep. Oh, this is afterwards. It's after. This is everything after. She's trying to keep him awake.

Yeah. Don't fall asleep. Very, very relatable. Super relatable. For both genders, I feel. Yeah. The blokes, second most common thing they say after indoor gardening. When can we do that again?

I feel like, yes. Can you book me in for next Wednesday, please? Yeah. Number one for the ladies, thing we say most after indoor gardening, you're amazing. Oh, that's nice. Oh, we're nice, aren't we?

You're amazing. It'd be a lie, but it's nice. And coming in for number one for the blokes, the top thing they like to say after indoor gardening, wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow.

Or as Owen Wilson says, wow. Do we know if that wow is in reference to their partner or in reference to themselves? Oh, that's a good question. Do we know? Like, who are they wowing? Good question. Are they wowing their own performance? Something that appeared in the top ten for both. Yeah.

Which I found this quite interesting. Where's my phone? First thing that both genders say. Well, you've got to text your mates. Tell them what it was like. No, no. Job done. No.

Mission accomplished. No, that is not desirable. Do not take that advice. Home run. Touchdown, home team. No, no, no, no. They're probably setting an alarm because they're going to fall asleep. Well, there you go.
