Starting point is 00:00:00 The ZM Podcast Network. ZM's Bree and Clint, cheers to KFC. Grab KFC's crispy box for only $9.99. Tonight, we are going to witness the most anticipated show in the history of professional radio. ZM's Bree and Clint. Lucky you're wearing white then. I'm wearing light colour pants.
Starting point is 00:00:28 Sorry, that's a private conversation. That is. We'll never see the light of day. Never. Never. The cameras weren't rolling on that, were they? Ella just said to us before the show started the cameras weren't working, so I think we're safe.
Starting point is 00:00:37 That is good. I'm glad the producers didn't hear that either. Yeah, because Brie said she's got the diarrhoea. No, I didn't. I did not. Don't worry, there's no cameras. No one will ever hear it. I did not say that.
Starting point is 00:00:49 I said... No, I'm not even going to say what I said. Nah. Just know that I did not say that. Yeah. I would never. She would never. I would never.
Starting point is 00:00:56 I would... It doesn't even sound like something Brie would say. I said, that coffee has made my stomach a little bit upset, is what I said. Just to kind of speed things up a bit. You know the Imodium commercial where the stomach starts going around in like a turbine? She said that's what was happening. Oh, don't say it. If I am missing for bits of the show, it's because I am on a very important conference call.
Starting point is 00:01:22 That's in another part of the office. Yeah, from the porcelain office. Let's bring the tone of the show up a bit, shall we? Bring it up. Bring it up. Today on the show, we are going to go deeper into our big movie mission that we're doing. We're going to go and watch movies nonstop for 24 hours because I've seen
Starting point is 00:01:38 none of them. And you say none of what? And I mean none of the movies. I mean I know you and hence why I came up with this idea to help you as a friend come into the 21st century. Yeah. But even I continue to be shocked, even yesterday, when you tell me, I haven't even seen Catch Me If You Can.
Starting point is 00:01:58 Yeah, or Finding Nemo. Finding Nemo really hit a chord with me. I can't believe you've never seen that. Well, is it on the list of movies that we need to watch? If you think it should be, you can go and add to that list at ZM Online. There's a link in our Instagram story as well. If you search up Bree and Clint on Instagram, you can go and chuck a movie in there that we'll watch next week.
Starting point is 00:02:17 But first, let's go with Tradiverse Lady. Yes, the tradies and the ladies, as per usual. We need two of you, and you can call us now. 0800 DIAL ZM. 50 bucks up the grabs, as per usual. We need two of you, and you can call us now, 0800-DIAL-ZM. 50 bucks up the grabs, thanks to KFC.

The tradies right there, chomping at the bit at 34. Looking to further the ladies' cause is a lady from Hamilton today. She's 35 years old, and she fractured her skull when she was four years old. Welcome to the show, Jenna. G'day, Jenna. Oh, that one.
Starting point is 00:03:04 Hi, Jenna. Hi. How'day, Jenna. Oh, that one. Hi, Jenna. Hi. How'd you manage that? I was just in a cabin climbing around on the farm and a gate fell back on my head and sort of crushed me between the gate and concrete. Oh! Oh.
Starting point is 00:03:18 Not ideal. Kids, wear your helmets everywhere. If you're a kid, just wear your helmet everywhere. And bubble wrap. You're taking on our tradie today from the Garden City. He is 24 and his boss told him to quit today. Welcome to the show, Paddy. G'day.
Starting point is 00:03:33 G'day, Paddy. Was it warranted? No, absolutely not. Why does he want you to quit? Because he's a douchebag. Nah, I don't know. Was he being serious, Paddy? I think so.
Starting point is 00:03:48 Oh, jeez. You've had a rough trot today. Let's see if we can pick you back up. Yeah, let's see if we can get you $50 towards your unemployment fund. Your buzzer is tradie. Jenna, yours is lady. First to three correct answers gets $50 cash thanks to KFC. Good luck, everyone.
Starting point is 00:04:04 Question number one. One of the biggest fashion events of the year has just gone down in New York City. Yes, Paddy. The Met Gala. Nice work, Paddy. He's on the mark. And he's stoked about it. One to the tradies.

Starting point is 00:04:59 Question number four. Which direction does the sun rise from? Tradie. Yes, Paddy? East to the west. It is east to the west. You put up a good fight towards the end there, Jenna, but he was too good.
Starting point is 00:05:18 Paddy, you've got 50 bucks cash coming your way and a win for the tradies. Bloody good. Tell your boss he doesn't know what he's talking about. You've obviously got lots of gumption. Thanks, guys. Bree and Clint. Guys, I'm so excited about what we are doing together next week, Clint.
Starting point is 00:05:39 Bree and Clint's 24-hour blockbuster binge-a-thon. For many years, I've had to sit across from you and listen to all the movies that you have not seen. You miss references. You don't know pop culture moments because you just haven't seen any movies. And it's weird because I like movies. You do. I just haven't seen them.
Starting point is 00:06:02 It's not like you dislike watching movies. No, I like cinema. You just haven't seen any. It's not like you dislike watching movies. I like cinema. You just haven't seen any of the classics. They just passed me by. None of the blockbusters. So in 24 hours we're going to put together a list with the help of you guys listening of all
Starting point is 00:06:18 the must see movies. This might be Clint's last chance. He's a dad of two. His wife has seen all the films so he's never going to get to watch any of these. You know, it's my dream to break a leg or something, so I have to lie on the couch for a week and just watch movies. A week? It'd be longer than a week.
Starting point is 00:06:35 Really? Yeah. Oh, bring it on. We can arrange that. Kneecap me, baby. Anyway, so we're very excited, and I thought if you don't believe me, well, we're going to put you to the test this afternoon. Sure. So what we've done here is we've made up a little game where we've got classic movies,
Starting point is 00:06:53 movies that you should have seen. And we've got iconic sounds, quotes from those movies. And all you have to do is tell us what movie it's from. Easy. Should be easy. Yeah, I from. Easy. Should be easy. Yeah, I can do that. Should be easy. I know quotes and stuff.
Starting point is 00:07:07 I just haven't seen the films that they're from. Okay, good. Well, let's see. Okay, here comes movie number one. Shut up. I beg your pardon? Shut up. What is that from?
Starting point is 00:07:23 Now, I'll start by saying I have absolutely no idea I don't know the reference I don't know the wording, the phrasing I've never heard it before But I did recognise Reese Witherspoon's voice So I would say that that is Legally Blonde So it was Anne Hathaway Oh shit
Starting point is 00:07:41 Close, and it was Princess Diaries Right, okay Which we found out the other day you have not seen Bathaway. Oh, shit. Close. And it was Princess Diaries. Right. Okay. Which we found out the other day you have not seen. I have not seen Princess Diaries. I have not seen Princess Bride. And the other voice you heard was Julie Andrews, which you probably didn't know that she was in that movie. No.
Starting point is 00:07:56 She's Mary Poppins? Correct. Seen that. Nice work. Okay. So you're zero from one. Yeah. Let's see how you do on this one.
Starting point is 00:08:05 And this one is just going to be a song. Yeah. And you tell us what movie made this song iconic. Okay. What? Now, I know the reference. And as the reference, it's like a guy going down a corridor and does he like jump up into the air and like punch the air
Starting point is 00:08:30 and then it freezes on him at the end of the frame? Is that what it is? Yes. But it's also a scene. In a film? That has a boom box. Yeah. Oh.
Starting point is 00:08:43 I'm giving you hints here. What movie. Look, I'm giving you hints here. What movie goes with that song? Look, I'm going to take a swing. I'm going to take a swing in the dark here. And I haven't seen this film. You haven't seen any film. But I feel like I know that this is from The Breakfast Club. Oh, he's done a Hail Mary.
Starting point is 00:09:04 He's done a Hail Mary. He's done a Hail Mary. I'm the guy in the scene. You're lucky. You're lucky. Okay. That was a total fluke. You're one from two. You're one from two.
Starting point is 00:09:11 Okay, let's move on to movie number three. And when my eyes are closed, I see you for what you truly are, which is ugly. You should know this. Nah. You have no idea what that is ugly. You should know this. Nah. You have no idea what that is from. No, I've never heard that in my life. And when my eyes are closed, I see you for what you truly are.
Starting point is 00:09:35 Which is ugly. Nah, I got nothing. You got absolutely nothing. Does it then go into that song, U-G-L-Y, you ain't got no alibi, you ugly? No. Oh. This movie is 100% going on the list.
Starting point is 00:09:50 It has to be on the list. Is it a scary movie? Incorrect. It's Amanda Bynes' best film, She's the Man. Oh, okay. In my opinion. Yeah, sure. Channing Tatum is in the film.
Starting point is 00:10:03 Yeah. Fantastic movie. I'd love to see it. Well, it's going in the film. Yeah. Fantastic movie. I'd love to see it. Well, it's going on the list. You will be watching it. Okay, here comes movie number four. They really let you borrow this from the jewellery store? I'm a very good customer.
Starting point is 00:10:15 If you were going to buy this, how much would it cost? Quarter of a million. I know this because I know the voices and I know the plot line to the film. That is Julia Roberts and Richard Gere, that's Pretty Woman. Oh, you're lucky. But I've never seen it. But you've never seen it. I've never seen that scene.
Starting point is 00:10:34 I've never heard that quote before in my life. I just heard a lady being given expensive jewellery and I recognise it as Julia Roberts. Okay, great. Okay, you're two from four. This is for the win. Last one. Okay, great. Okay, you're two from four. This is for the win. Last one. You complete me. And I just had.
Starting point is 00:10:51 Shut up. You had me at hello. One of the most iconic lines in any movie ever. I've heard it. I can tell you what it's about. No, I couldn't. No, no. I've heard it. What movie you what it's about No I couldn't, I've heard it What movie is that from?
Starting point is 00:11:07 No idea Was it Tom Cruise? Is it Jerry Maguire? Oh I see, you're so lucky You're so lucky But you don't know that it's from that I've never seen it, I just knew it was Tom Cruise
Starting point is 00:11:23 and I sort of went for an iconic Tom Cruise movie that wasn't an action movie. You imagine in a couple of weeks. Can we watch Jerry Maguire, please? We can put it on the list. In a couple of weeks, you will know all these references. You will be up to date with pop culture. You will be in the zeitgeist with all of us.
Starting point is 00:11:42 I've always said to you when you bring up these movies, never seen it but I could tell you what it's about. See, I do. I have bluffed my way through these last three decades. It's time to stop bluffing, okay, with your muffin. Bree and Clint. Millennials assemble. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:59 What have we done now? The Gen Zers. Is this about the ankle socks again? Because I've stopped, okay? The Gen Zers. I've stopped. I haven't stopped. The Gen Zers. I've stopped. I haven't stopped. The Gen Zers are coming for our throats again.
Starting point is 00:12:09 They're coming for our throats. In particular, one Gen Zer, 21-year-old singer-songwriter, Allegra Miles, who is not impressed. She has posted online and is getting quite a lot of traction where she's talking about millennial words versus Gen Z words. Okay. And you can tell if someone's a millennial or a Gen Z depending on which words they use for certain situations. Okay, yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:37 You hear what I'm saying? Yeah, yeah, yeah. So she reckons there's definitely words that are millennials and then there's words that are Gen Z. Absolutely. There are words that are Gen Z. Absolutely. There are words that are boomers. Yeah. What's a boomer word you reckon?
Starting point is 00:12:49 Groovy. Yeah, groovy. Like if you describe something as groovy, those are pretty groovy pants. Do you reckon Gen X is wicked? Yeah. That's so wicked. Oh, those are some wicked pants.
Starting point is 00:13:02 That's got to be Gen X. Yeah. Who's Bomb? I feel like Bomb was us, but it only lasted for a while. Use it in a sentence. Man, those are some bomb ass pants. Please tell me you never use that. Or those pants are da bomb.
Starting point is 00:13:15 Oh, no. Oh, no. I don't use it. I don't use it. But you can't deny that that is something that millennials have said. Not recently. No, not recently. Like maybe when we were young.
Starting point is 00:13:26 Yeah. Like three. Yeah, but, mate, we've been millennials for a while, like about 30 years. Our whole lives. Yeah. We've got some audio of this girl doing the comparison. We have some audio here. Let's take a listen to the first one.
Starting point is 00:13:44 Okay. So first up, when y'all said YOLO, YOLO, the equivalent is f*** it, we ball. And these two terms literally give you the exact same energy. Did you know that? No. We're not saying YOLO anymore, by the way. No, no one's saying that anymore. But what are we saying in replacement of that, though?
Starting point is 00:14:04 At dawn, we ride. What are that, though? At dawn we ride. What do they say? Effort we ball. Effort we ball. So first up, when y'all said YOLO, the equivalent is f*** it we ball. And these two terms literally give the exact same energy. I've never heard a single person say effort we ball. But yeah, sure, okay.
Starting point is 00:14:22 But you're not a gen 7. No, I know, I know. I haven't either. No, I know. I know. I haven't either. Okay, let's take a listen to the next one. Next is slay to eat. So it could be, okay, you slayed. You slayed or you ate. She ate that. Ate it up.
Starting point is 00:14:38 Slayed that. Slayed it up. We didn't say that, actually. She's right. God, I hate the term ate so much. Oh, she ate it. When someone puts up a photo and then all the comments underneath it are like, girl, you ate. You know what I do like? I agree with you. I don't like that.
Starting point is 00:14:53 But you know what I do like? Is if, you know, maybe some people are giving you a bit of shit or you know, hating on you and then you like do really well and then you say eat it. Eat it. go on, eat it. Yeah, but that's very different. That's very different because you're using it in a negative way.
Starting point is 00:15:10 They're saying eight is a positive. Right. I like my way better. Yeah. No, me too. Yeah, okay, good. Okay, good. So we can agree on that.
Starting point is 00:15:18 Yeah. So would you still say slay? I don't think I've said slay in a long time. Maybe at Christmas time. Not now because it feels weird now. Let's hear Clint use slay in a sentence. I want to hear that. Talk about the Met Gala.
Starting point is 00:15:35 Did you see Bradley Cooper at the Met Gala? Oh my god. Slay. Is that good? No? Okay. That was a hospital pass. There's still another one. Next is game, like having game to Riz or having Riz. It literally just means like, hey, Shoddy, what's up?
Starting point is 00:15:55 Yeah. Yeah. Someone doesn't have game anymore. They have Riz. We know. That's an evolution. That's fine. That's fine.
Starting point is 00:16:00 Yeah. Okay. One more. One more. Of Gen Zed Care. We're fine with that one. If you're looking for our approval. That's all good. That one we're okay with. That's all good. Yeah. Okay. One more. Of Gen Zedkia. We're fine with that one. If you're looking for our approval. That one we're okay with.
Starting point is 00:16:08 That's all good. Yeah. All right. Another one is on point to locked in. These are not quite exact, like the same, but definitely same energy of like locked in. Like you're on your shit. You're just, we're going, we're going on point.
Starting point is 00:16:20 Like we're on point right now. Let's go. We're doing it. You could see Clintint being like oh i like that one we're locked in i just think it's strange that this person was acting like a like she's some kind of english historian which is like this is how language has evolved this is literally just some person off tick tock but literally yeah okay there's one more this one might be a little abstract but it makes sense in my brain so it's vibe to type beat so you could
Starting point is 00:16:45 say like yeah the restaurant is like a really intimate vibe or you could say yeah it's like a like chill italian type beat type beat yeah so like if i was if you were to say oh what was the restaurant you went to the other night and i'd be like, oh, it was kind of a bit of a noisy, but like noisy kind of upbeat. Yeah, right. Okay. Sure. Fine. Yep. Fine. Am I saying it right? Ella, are we saying it right?
Starting point is 00:17:16 You're our Gen Z. You're our reference. I've never felt older. I think this is for the younger Gen Zs. Yeah, right. Oh, did you not know that one? No. Right. Okay. Yeah, right. That seems kind of complicated. It comes for every generation. There's a time where you stop understanding the language. And this afternoon we're going to provide a service where we try and decipher some of it.
Starting point is 00:17:32 Or maybe you can inform us. I feel like we're pretty on the pulse. Yeah, me too. I feel like this will be pretty easy for us. Ella, you start us off. You've got one for us? Yeah, I've got a few. I've got a few.
Starting point is 00:17:45 Yeah. Okay. I'm cooking. You're cooking. You're doing something. No. If she's cooking, she's like doing well at something. I'm cooking.
Starting point is 00:17:56 Like, it's brewing. I'm about to spit bars. I'm about to deliver. I'm cooking. Like, she's on point, so to speak. Yeah, she's doing something. I was right. That's fine.
Starting point is 00:18:03 Another one. She's doing something. Get was right. That's fine. Another one. She's doing something. Get. What? Get. Get. G-Y-A-T. G-Y-A-T.
Starting point is 00:18:12 Get. Get your... Get. Get your ass tight. No, no. I think it's just damn or hot. Appreciating something. I thought a get was like a booty.

Starting point is 00:18:29 Like gaffer tape? No. Okay. What is it? Yeah, I-D-G-A-F. It's just the shortening of that. Oh, gotcha. Wait, we're shortening the abbreviation of I-D-G-A-F?
Starting point is 00:18:40 We're now shortening the abbreviation. Okay. Are you a Gen Z? And do you have a phrase That you reckon we don't understand That's what we want You feel that People are scared We would be able to
Starting point is 00:18:54 Recognise the slang And translate it accordingly After that five minute performance I don't think a single person Has any faith in us decoding Any Gen Z language whatsoever. Yeah, look, it's pretty bad out there. We're
Starting point is 00:19:09 trying to decipher some of the language, some of the slang that the Gen Zers and younger are using. Someone texted through and said, Seabs. Yeah, Seabs. A lot of Seabs, which, sorry, Seabs means?
Starting point is 00:19:27 CBF, right? Yeah. A lot of these words we're finding are abbreviations on already existing abbreviations. Yeah, so you're just abbreviating on the abbreviation. You shouldn't have replaced YOLO. You only live once. You should have just shortened it to YOLS. YOLS.
Starting point is 00:19:41 YOLS. Yeah. YOLS. Yeah, Seabs is CBF, which is can't be effed yeah yeah that's fine um someone else said uh pink slash blue equals girly slash manly i'm millennial so may need gen z confirmation but it's like girly slash manly oh he's so blue okay Okay, that's good. Interesting. I haven't heard, look at producer Ella, she's a Gen Z.

Starting point is 00:22:29 The Latest. The biggest fashion event in the calendar year has just been the Met Gala in New York City. And everyone is judging all the celebrities' outfits as per usual. Well, that's what it is. It's a big fashion show on stairs. No one really knows what they do inside,
Starting point is 00:22:46 but it's all about the entrance and the entrance that you make. There are some phenomenally creative outfits, as there are every year, but I feel like this year people have leant more into the weird and wonderful side of things. Like, it looks a little bit more to me like the world of wearable art this year than a Met Gala. Love that.
Starting point is 00:23:03 Yeah. I reckon that's what it's about. The theme is Sleeping Beauties and it's got a real kind of secret garden feel to it. Yeah, it does. It's kind of like a mythical creature kind of vibe. Yeah. I read an article yesterday talking about the two rules
Starting point is 00:23:19 that if any of the people who get invited to the Met Gala break, then they'll never get invited back to the Met Gala. Okay, what are they? So apparently the two rules, and I was like, is there only two rules? That's not that many to follow. So the first one is that guests must not smoke. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:23:39 They cannot smoke at the event or else they will not get invited back. And the second was that they had to keep their dirty mitts off any of the artwork and exhibitions at all costs under no circumstances. If you touch any of that art, you will never get invited back to the mitt. Didn't Doja Cat get caught vaping on the stairs last
Starting point is 00:24:00 year? She did. Is she there? It's not smoking. But good point. I also haven't seen her in any of the pictures. Producer Ella, is Doja Cat there? Yeah, she is there, but wearing a very interesting outfit. It's like a long, wet T-shirt. White.
Starting point is 00:24:17 Yeah. Wet. Wet. Wet. Yeah. And it just, for me, it doesn't suit the fancy. Does it scream Sleeping Beauties to you? No.
Starting point is 00:24:25 A wet T-shirt? Go have a look. Go Google. Okay, hold on. While we're here, producers and Clint, who's your pick? If you're going to Google any of the outfits and have a look, I would suggest for the boys you have a look at Dan Levy's outfit. Yeah, I love Dan Levy.
Starting point is 00:24:41 Donald Glover looks fantastic as usual. Baz Luhrmann, who did the Elvis movie, looks really good. And for the girls, I really like what Gigi Hadid is wearing. It's really in theme and it looks really good. And Kylie Minogue just looks phenomenal. Kylie Minogue does look amazing. My pick out of everyone from what I've seen, I haven't seen everyone yet,
Starting point is 00:24:58 but I think Lana Del Rey has killed it this year. Hers was really cool. I love what she's wearing. The big headpiece. Yeah. I think she Del Rey has killed it this year. Hers was really cool. I love what she's wearing. The big headpiece. Yeah. I think she really, really nailed it. She looks like she's in that Snow White and the Huntsman film, doesn't she? She looks phenomenal.
Starting point is 00:25:11 Which is perfect with the Sleeping Birdies theme. She's got like antlers coming out. It's great. One of the co-chairs, so they get celebrities to be the co-chairs of it, one of them is Chris Hemsworth. And one of the criticisms of Chris Hemsworth in the lead-up is that he's not fashionable, which is really mean. And one of the reporters decided to ask him that question directly on the red carpet.
Starting point is 00:25:32 Are you fashionable? You tell me. You're not as fashionable as you. You always seem to be out there. It's every press tour, every done, you've always looked a little sharper. But tonight, you know, Tom Ford's dressed both of us, so I'm feeling OK.
Starting point is 00:25:42 What was it like getting that phone call or that text from Anna Winter saying, I want you to co-chair the Met Gala? Well, Anna pointed this out, right, that I had to call my wife and say, what's this whole thing about? Where I grew up, it wasn't something that was in the forefront of my mind, but recently realized it's a really big deal. And so I feel very honored to be here and amongst great company.
Starting point is 00:26:04 And this is looking forward to a fun night. It's going of date night for us you know the kids are back home in Australia he's such a regular Aussie bloke I love that his accent is still in full force and then he's at like something as prestigious as the Met Gala he's like oh yeah you know I didn't really know what it was just glad to be out of the glad to be out of the house, to be honest. I've looked up the Doja Cat Met Gala outfit. It's literally a long white T-shirt. She looks like she's been to a wet T-shirt competition in Palm Springs. Can I see?
Starting point is 00:26:37 It's bizarre. Very bizarre. Yeah, right. And I'm pretty sure she's not wearing a bra or undies. And they would have had to wet her just before she got on the carpet as well. Do you reckon they used a hose to wet her? Like, how did they wet her? There's a gallery of photos at Zidium online on our Instagram account, and there's heaps of photos and a full wrap at nzherald.co.nz.
Starting point is 00:26:56 Bree and Clint. Started hooking into my dinner last night, and look, I'll be open and honest. My household is a eat dinner in front of the TV most nights household. Yeah, that's fair. Otherwise known as a fun household. Yeah, you can do that when you don't have kids. How many of you can do it when you've got kids too? I was going to say you can do it when you've got kids.
Starting point is 00:27:17 Just put their big, what's the chair called? Are you talking about a high chair? A high chair. Put the high chair in front of the TV. Away you go. Yeah, well, if it's a baby, yeah, sure. But... How long do they sit in the high chair for?
Starting point is 00:27:31 Only for like a year. Nah, you can put them in there for longer. Just make it a bit bigger. I was going to say, you can do it with kids too, as long as you don't care about your couch. Yeah, that's true. Yeah, get a dark couch. Anyway, I was hooking into my dinner and I've looked down
Starting point is 00:27:45 and it was like a prawn salad-y type of thing. Oh, nice. And a bit of bok choy. And I've looked down. Quite a summery dinner to be having this far into autumn. Yeah, we're doing one of those. Food delivery things. Food delivery things.
Starting point is 00:27:59 Don't they theme them? Aren't they like doing you like. We're doing the healthy option. Oh, great. My partner wanted the healthy one. Oh, great. With my partner, one of the healthy ones. Why is she trying to lose weight this far into autumn? I don't get it. This is where we go into hibernation mode. To be honest, if I had to rate the meal
Starting point is 00:28:13 out of 10, it'd be a 5. 6. And this is controversial because my wife would never cook it. Yeah. It's deviled sausages weather. I love deviled sausages. Oh my god, I love a deviled sausage. You know what's even better than a deviled sausage? What's that? A deviled egg. Oh yeah, like a deviled sausages weather. I love deviled sausages. Oh, my God. I love a deviled sausage. You know what's even better than a deviled sausage? What's that? A deviled egg.
Starting point is 00:28:28 Oh, yeah, like a deviled egg. God. How different is a deviled egg to a... I mean, it's very different. Very different. But, God, I love a dev... Underrated deviled eggs. Deviled egg or scotch egg?
Starting point is 00:28:37 Which one do you prefer? Deviled egg. Yeah. Yeah, the scotch egg is a bit too oily. Aren't deviled eggs weird? Aren't deviled eggs weird? Because I would never usually eat six to seven eggs, but you devil them and I'll eat half a dozen.
Starting point is 00:28:50 You are throwing those eggs back. Yeah. Delicious. Yeah. We should make some deviled eggs on the weekend. Yeah, good idea. It's great. One of those food delivery services is listening.
Starting point is 00:29:01 Include some deviled eggs. You should put deviled eggs on the menu. What's for dinner? Deviled eggs. Let's normalise deviled eggs at a should put deviled eggs on the menu. What's for dinner? Deviled eggs. Let's normalise deviled eggs at a barbecue again. You get home and your partner's like, um, so the box said that I was making deviled eggs and asparagus rolls for dinner.
Starting point is 00:29:13 That sounds like my dream! God, who doesn't love an asparagus roll and a deviled egg? I had an asparagus roll at a wedding the other day. Oh my god! Keen. Yeah. Keen on that. So good. I'm all in. Anyway, a wedding the other day. Oh, my God. Yeah. Keen on that. So good.
Starting point is 00:29:27 I'm all in. Anyway. Anyway, back to your prawn salad. Anyway, back to my prawn salad. I've taken, you know, I've had quite a lot of the salad at this point, and I've looked down at the bowl, and something was moving around, and it caught my attention immediately. As it would. And I've looked, and it was blending in with all
Starting point is 00:29:46 the green. Yeah. And to my eye, it was half a caterpillar. Not a whole caterpillar. It was half a caterpillar. Yeah. The other half I had eaten. It was in you. The caterpillar was in me.
Starting point is 00:30:02 Yeah, you'd much rather find a whole caterpillar than half a caterpillar. Was it still wriggling as a half? Yes. Aww. It was still wriggling around and I felt instantly sick. You know what you've got to do? Eat that other half to reunite it. It'll get
Starting point is 00:30:17 put back together in your belly. And then a butterfly will grow in my stomach. You're like a human chrysalis. I'll be pooping butterflies. Absolutely not. Look, on the bright side,salis. I'll be pooping butterflies. Absolutely not. Look, on the bright side, at least you know the greenery was fresh. If it was fresh enough to sustain life, then you know that's been picked recently.
Starting point is 00:30:34 I mean, I'd rather it be old and not have caterpillars in it. Sure. But, you know, that is glass half full. You know there's no harmful pesticides on your salad. That is very true. Because it didn't kill the caterpillar. Yep. You know there's no harmful pesticides on your salad. That is very true. Because it didn't kill the caterpillar.
Starting point is 00:30:48 Yep. You killed the caterpillar. I definitely did because its guts were everywhere. What did you do? Did you pick the half caterpillar out and finish the salad? Oh, this is a good question. Okay, producers and Clint, knowing me. Because that's your dinner.
Starting point is 00:30:59 Knowing me. So I was about halfway through my dinner at this point. Yeah. And you're fairly confident the other half of the caterpillar is already inside you? It was already in me because I'd eaten it. And you'd removed the half caterpillar that was left? So I removed the half caterpillar.
Starting point is 00:31:14 Do I finish the meal or does it go in the bin? I believe you finished the prawns and left the lettuce. That's interesting. Left the salad. That's interesting. I think the whole thing's in the bin. I think the whole thing's in the bin. You think the whole thing's in the bin? Yeah. Ella? Didn't you just flick the caterpillar off and
Starting point is 00:31:29 continue eating? That's my guess. I will say one of you has got it correct. Just picked out the caterpillar and kept on eating. She's the hungry, hungry caterpillar human edition. Well, it's not like it was a cockroach.
Starting point is 00:31:49 If it's a cockroach, that's a straight no for me. Yeah, and you very rarely find cockroaches in your vegetables. Yeah. You might find... A caterpillar, I feel like, is fine. What if your half had left, like, a little bit behind? I'd already eaten the other half. That's true.
Starting point is 00:32:01 What's the worst that could happen? And to be honest, it's not the caterpillar that's doing the damage. It's all the caterpillar poo that's on the lettuce that you're eating. Was it pregnant? Yeah, which end was left behind? I'm pretty sure I ate the head. I'm kind of glad. I'd rather eat the head of a caterpillar than the arse end.
Starting point is 00:32:17 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because that's where all the poops and stuff are. Yeah. Don't need to be eating caterpillar ass. Oh, $100 it is. There's something I thought I wouldn't hear. Yeah, I know. Today? Yeah. Don't need to be eating Caterpillar ass. Whoa. Oh, $800 at M. There's something I thought I wouldn't hear. Yeah, I know. Today?
Starting point is 00:32:27 Yeah. Well, neither, to be honest. Nicki Minaj will release a song soon. Oh, $800 at M. Like Breeze Caterpillar, what's the grossest thing you think you've ever eaten? And you know what I think it is for me? What? I think it's that raw egg that we had two weeks ago.
Starting point is 00:32:41 Wait, you think that's the grossest thing you've ever eaten? That or the cat food that you made me eat. Why are the the grossest thing you've ever eaten? That or the cat food that you made me eat. Why are the grossest things that I've ever eaten always been around you? Because I'm a risk taker. Bree and Clint.
Starting point is 00:32:52 I might turn into a butterfly soon because I ate half a caterpillar in my dinner last night. Yeah. By accident, not by choice. No. It was a green caterpillar.
Starting point is 00:33:00 She was having a swan plant salad. Yeah. It was an accident. She didn't know it was going to be full of caterpillars. Why would it be? If anyone wants to know, green caterpillar. She was having a swan plant salad. Yeah. It was an accident. She didn't know it was going to be full of caterpillars. Why would it be? If anyone wants to know, green caterpillar. I just remembered something else gross that I ate one time by accident
Starting point is 00:33:11 when I was a bachelorette living on my own. I got quite sick and I was like, oh, I need to cook a soup for myself. And it was a chicken soup. And, you know, when you buy chicken in the packet, I obviously wasn't thinking that much. Threw the chicken in, cooked the soup, and it boiled for, I reckon, a good couple of hours. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:36 Like a long time. You cooked it down. Cooked it down, nice and juicy-like. And I had a couple of bowls of soup. And it's when I was putting it in a container afterwards to put in the fridge that I was like, what is that? What is that in the soup? Ooh, brother.
Starting point is 00:33:56 Ooh. And I realised that the chicken sponge that sits in the bottom of the chicken packet. You cooked the chicken pad. I cooked the chicken sponge that sits in the bottom of the chicken packet. You cooked the chicken pad. I cooked the chicken nappy. You cooked the chicken sanitary pad. Is that bad? Which I think is fine.
Starting point is 00:34:14 No, I think it's fine because it's just full of chicken juice anyway. Your chicken is full of juice and then that spongy bit is full of chicken juice and at least you cooked it, you know? I don't know, eh? For many weeks I thought I was going to die. I was like, this is not good. We're asking you what's the grossest thing you've ever eaten, on purpose or by accident.
Starting point is 00:34:34 Someone said, I ate a cockroach. It was on top of my toasted sandwich and I heard a crunch. I then ran to the bathroom and there were legs in my teeth. No! I can't think of a crunchier bug to eat than a cockroach. I don't think there's many bugs worse. That's rancid. Jordan's here.
Starting point is 00:34:54 Hi, Jordan. Hi, Jordan. What's the grossest thing you've ever eaten, Jordan? You know, struggling to breathe, started to use my asthma inhaler, started choking through my ear, but the earwax went flying right out of my mouth and ran away. Ew! Struggling to breathe, started to use my asthma inhaler, started choking through my air body earwig, went flying right out of my mouth and ran away. Ew!
Starting point is 00:35:09 You had an earwig in your asthma inhaler? Yes, a little bugger had crawled in. It was like hiding in there. And he got like express shot into the back of my throat. Oh, Jordan, that's bad. With his little spiky little tail. Airwigs. That's what happened to me.
Starting point is 00:35:28 But he ran away again and now I've got like peaches down. It's a chick inside the inhaler. You're ripping me apart. Yeah, you'll never not chick inside the inhaler from now on. I bet you would. Airwigs are disgusting. I reckon they would help someone stop vaping if they found an airwig inside their vape. You know?
Starting point is 00:35:41 Surely. The government should implement that rule. Put airwigs in the vape. Yeah. Oh, thanks, Jordan. Someone said a stink bug in a salad took about two hours to get the rancid taste out of my mouth. Ew.
Starting point is 00:35:55 Stink bugs are yuck. When my dad was a boy, he saw what looked like cake on the ground. He put it in his mouth and gave it a good chew. Turned out to be white chalky dog turd. Oh. Why is your dad eating cake off the ground. He put it in his mouth and gave it a good chew. Turned out to be white chalky dog turd. Why is your dad eating cake off the ground? Because he's a kid. No. Wasn't he a kid?
Starting point is 00:36:13 Yeah, I'm sure he was, but still. You don't eat cake off the ground. Yeah, that's so yuck. This is disgusting, so I'll just give you a 3, 2, 1 warning. 3, 2, 1. I had rotten cow placenta fly2-1 warning. 3-2-1. I had rotten cow placenta fly into my mouth while I was milking the cow. The cow jumped and I had my mouth open.
Starting point is 00:36:35 You need to be paid more. Yeah. You need like a risk, like a risk, like bonus in that job. Like that's not on. Sorry, Bree and Clint, we've had to mute you. It was the cockroach for me. When I was living in this apartment back in my 20s and the dishwasher kept breaking, I've told you this story, eh? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:00 The dishwasher kept breaking and we had a dishwasher technician come out to check what was going on the dishwasher tube was completely stacked full of cockroaches and had to be fully replaced and we'd been
Starting point is 00:37:18 washing our dishes in there it's a good reminder to clean that little filter out at the bottom of the dishwasher when you get home, I reckon. You've got to do it. You've got to do it. Buying that Fisher and Paykel thing from the supermarket worth it once a month is not enough. We're going to have a round
Starting point is 00:37:36 of Let's Get Classical next where you can pick a side and hopefully win yourself some KFC chicken dollars. Now look, I'm sick of bouncing around between sides. I feel like I want to pick a side and stay there. So you guys decide where I'm going. Okay.
Starting point is 00:37:54 Well, I would love you, Bree. I'll have you. I'm sick of this too. We're losing sight of what this is. You came into this game to defeat us too, okay? Now you want to tear us apart at the seams and take part of our team over to your side? That's not in the spirit of this competition, okay?
Starting point is 00:38:11 Okay? It sounds like Clint wants me back on his team. He's quite angry today. And to be honest, I don't know why because I never answer any of them right. Yeah, I just love having the support. It's on the off chance, isn't it? Do we ask Claudia?
Starting point is 00:38:24 I'm just going to say I feel like today is Bree's day. I want Bree! That's all I'm going to say. Then it's me and Ella versus Bree. No! No! I think it can be done. I think it can be done.
Starting point is 00:38:36 All right, why not? Give it a go. If you think Bree has it on her own, text Bree to 9696. That's weird. This is the game where we guess popular songs in classical style. If you think together, me and Ella. Can work together, but first of all. First of all, can we even be in the same room together to get this done?
Starting point is 00:38:54 Then text Ella and Clint to 9696. Those are your options. Bree or Ella and Clint as a unit. This might be the greatest underdog story ever heard in history. Could be. I mean, it could be, or it could be the biggest pantsing that this show has ever seen. Someone who backs the winning team will win 50 KFC chicken dollars
Starting point is 00:39:17 and we'll get classical. How have I been kicked to the curb? No, no, no. You've been offered the chance at greatness this afternoon. True. I thought may as well take the chance. I never, like, I'm not answering any of these. Normally I just sit off to the side supporting whoever's team I'm on. This game is where we guess pop songs in classical style.
Starting point is 00:39:44 Usually Bree and I would work together to defeat Ella. Somehow, Ella and I are on a team together today against Brie. And it's strange. And it's strange. You chose that blindly. I said one sentence and you just jumped ship. Because if I do well, I'm helping Ella. So.
Starting point is 00:40:01 That's true. I'm really conflicted. Are you going to rig it? Really conflicted. Are you going to sabot it? Are you going to sabotage her? I kind of want Brita win over me and Clint. I'm joking. I'm joking. Okay. We have some people standing by
Starting point is 00:40:15 who have texted in and we're going to give away some KFC. Claudia, what do we need to know? So, I'm going to start the song. It'll be a classical cover of a pop song, buzz in, and I'm looking for the artist and the name of the song. Usually I don't do a theme. I just kind of do whatever songs I feel like that day. But today I'm
Starting point is 00:40:32 doing a theme. Bree's favourite songs. Not quite. But I think you'll be quite good at this. So because we've launched the 24 hour blockbuster binge-a-thon, these are all songs from movies. And I'm wondering if you want to spice things up, bonus point if you can name the movie.
Starting point is 00:40:49 A bonus point? 100% on game for that. That's great. So there's a point for the artist and the song title and a point for which movie it's from. Sure. Okay? So Brie, you're on your own.
Starting point is 00:40:59 But you only get a shot at the movie that it's from if you get the artist in the song, right? Well, you can buzz in and give me one of the pieces if you want. But whoever buzzes in first, you can have first dibs. Okay. Okay. Okay. Sure.
Starting point is 00:41:12 Yeah. All right. Let's go. Only buzz in if you have an answer. Don't start humming it. Are we ready? We're good. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:17 We're ready. Good luck, everyone. Here's your first one. Ella! I can dance to a lipa. Dance the night away! No, it's dance the night to a lipa. I'll take it. Barbie.
Starting point is 00:41:35 Yep. Watch me. I was hot on your heels. I was right there too. So two points to my team. Yeah. Gosh, it's a long way back for me. That's all right.
Starting point is 00:41:50 Underdog spirit. Underdog spirit. Just breathe through it. You'll be fine. Okay. Here's another one. Breathe. Breathe.
Starting point is 00:42:00 Is that My Heart Will Go On The Titanic? Celine Dion. Yes. Whoa, you got it from that. You could hear it was about to go into the crescendo. That was amazing. Ready, listen. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:12 Bum, bum, bum. It's like a spiritual experience. I'll do that. I'll do that. Now I can hear it. Yes. Wow, okay. I'm like, that song. That song, No Joke I can hear it. Yes. Wow, okay. Oh, my, that song.
Starting point is 00:42:26 That song, No Joke, makes me cry. Like, I feel emotional. We've got to turn it off. Okay, so this one is for the win. We're all tied up. Oh, my God, I'm actually in this game. Yeah, you're crushing this. Two points each.
Starting point is 00:42:37 Two points each. Okay. Could be the win. It could tie us back up. Let's see how we go. Breathe. Breathe. What?
Starting point is 00:42:58 Oh, that is Lose Yourself, Eminem, 8 Mile. Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!
Starting point is 00:43:01 Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!
Starting point is 00:43:02 Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!
Starting point is 00:43:02 Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!
Starting point is 00:43:02 Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!
Starting point is 00:43:03 Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!
Starting point is 00:43:03 Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!
Starting point is 00:43:04 Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!! I was right there. She was so close. Can you believe it? Trinity, Brie has beaten Ella and me together, and she scored you 50 KFC chicken dollars. I'm not going to complain. Good on you, Brie. Thanks for believing in me, Trinity.
Starting point is 00:43:25 I didn't. Oh, when they said it's Bree's day, it's definitely your day. Thank you, babes. The true underdog prevails here this afternoon. It's because Ella came into it with a bad attitude. Oh, no. I was joking. Shut up.
Starting point is 00:43:43 I don't want to ever be on your team. I think it's because there was cracks forming in their team and they weren't playing as a team. Cracks? What are you talking about? Can you imagine Clint and I on, like, a show like a, what is it? American. What, like the Amazing Race?
Starting point is 00:43:57 Can you imagine me and Ella trying to do an escape room? We should do that. Me and you versus Claude and Grace. Oh, dear. I would wipe the floor with you guys. But we have to work together. Bree and Clint. There is a property management company in Christchurch that has made the news today
Starting point is 00:44:17 because of what they're asking their tenants to do when they move out. Property manager, like anybody has in a rental, if you don't rent the house directly off the people who own the house, you go through like a third party intermediary and they can be really hard to deal with. Some of them can be good. We've actually talked to good property managers on this show before. Just like in anything, there's some amazing people in the job and then you get your bad
Starting point is 00:44:42 ones. Yeah. These ones, I'm not going to call them bad, but they're being criticised for being a bit heavy handed. Okay, well, you tell me what they've been doing and I am not shy. I'll tell you if they're bad. So this property management company in Christchurch, when you move out of the property that you're renting,
Starting point is 00:45:00 first of all, they require you to clean the wheelie bin. You've got to wash out the wheelie bin. Wheelie bins are to be free of rubbish and washed clean. Now, as someone who's operated a wheelie bin for about 20 years, I've never washed one. I've never washed one in my life. You've never had a bit of a clean out of the wheelie bin? Nope, not once.
Starting point is 00:45:21 That's for rubbish. I put rubbish in it. What if you're having like, you're getting flies and it's getting a bit yucky? Well, then once a week a truck comes and takes all the yucky stuff out of it. That's my issue with the wheelie bin. Oh, we wash our wheelie bins from time to time. It's not like a regular thing we do. Do you?
Starting point is 00:45:39 Yeah. Do you? It is good to wash them out from time to time. Am I grubby for not cleaning the wheelie bin? Claudia, do you clean your wheelie bin? Never once. Yeah, thanks. I don't want to.
Starting point is 00:45:49 That's where the rubbish goes. That's where the rubbish. Producer Ella, have you ever taken out the rubbish? No. No, of course I have. I don't know what goes in what, though. I thought it was quite a big deal to wash the wheelie bin. I'd hate to fail and have part of my bond taken away because the wheelie bin was dirty.
Starting point is 00:46:06 Yeah. Next thing they want you to do is iron the curtains before you move out. Oh, no, okay, now you lost me. No, no, no, no, no, no. They said the curtains are to be uncreased with all of the hooks in place. It's a curtain.
Starting point is 00:46:20 Curtains are creased. Yeah. What are they on about? Nah, you've lost me now. Tenants are also told to remove the filters from the extractor fans and heat pumps and wash them clean. Yeah, okay, that's kind of fair enough,
Starting point is 00:46:32 but, like, again, I don't want to foul my bond because of it. Yeah, I mean, yeah. I mean, you're being picky, but okay. And they also need to make sure there are no cobwebs on the outside of the building. No, nah, nah. That's not a part. No, no. I feel like they're looking for ways to keep your bond
Starting point is 00:46:48 at that stage. I feel like they're looking for reasons to take money out of your bond. Yeah, you know when they're being quite harsh when they'll come in and they'll put their finger along the skirting board? Yeah, yeah. And they'll look at it? Yeah. And if there's a bit of dust on there? A tenant who rents a
Starting point is 00:47:04 property from this company who's not moving out, they were just having a standard flat inspection, has spoken up about this. They said that they got a warning for having a washing basket with dirty laundry in the laundry on their inspection day.
Starting point is 00:47:20 You're not the kid's parents. You're the property management. They want dirty clothes in their washing basket. Where are you meant to put the dirty clothes? They're allowed to have dirty clothes wherever they want. Am I meant to wash every single item of clothing in my house before the landlord, before the property manager comes to do the inspection?
Starting point is 00:47:40 What a joke. What a joke. It seems a bit heavy-handed and they're being roasted for it. They're going, hey, this is crazy, man. This is insane. The thing, like, when I think about, because obviously being a property manager, and I've never done it before.
Starting point is 00:47:55 No. But I can imagine the exact same as you get your good property managers and your bad ones, it's the same with tenants. Totally. And it would be a difficult job because you're dealing with a lot of people and you need to make sure that the property is being looked after. And you're getting paid to look after someone's major
Starting point is 00:48:11 investment as well. Exactly. So I can imagine it would be a tough job. But I think also use common sense. Like if they've been good tenants, you know. But the wheelie bin's a bit smelly. Then let it go. Like at the end of the day, like if they've been good tenants and you know they're respectful. Most houses that I've moved into, there's been
Starting point is 00:48:32 a full wheelie bin because the last tenants had so much rubbish to get rid of when they were moving out. Well exactly. And it can't go until rubbish day. So what are they saying? You have to take it to the dump. I guess. There can't be any rubbish in the wheelie bin. I thought this afternoon we could ask what's an unreasonable request that your landlord or property manager made of you? Like, did they just expect way too much of you? They came around for the flat inspection
Starting point is 00:48:54 and they got angry about something or you're moving out and they tried to charge you for something crazy. Again, we know there's good ones out there, but this afternoon we're going to focus on the bad ones. There's also bad ones and we want to hear about the bad ones. 0800 dials at M, or you can text them into 9696.
Starting point is 00:49:09 Unreasonable, stupid, mean, cruel requests made by the person that you were renting the house off is what we'd like to know about. We want to hear them. Bree and Clint. This is turning into the bad landlord hotline. I didn't kind of mean it too, but there are a lot of stories out there. No, you meant it. I tried to temper it with, because we have people who are good property managers
Starting point is 00:49:29 who have listened to our show before. And you know when you get a good landlord. We're not talking about you guys. No. We know you exist. There is a heap of good landlords and property managers. We're not talking about you. But even you, let me tell you,
Starting point is 00:49:45 even you know there's some bad ones out there. You've probably had a bad one yourself. Even, yeah, well, it's because a property management company in Christchurch is being roasted for telling its tenants they need to clean the wheelie bins and iron the curtains. There is a term in property management that I, it's a technical term that I think is used quite often where some property managers
Starting point is 00:50:06 do tend to take the piss a little bit. Yeah, right. That is a property term. They're piss takers. They are piss takers. Yeah, yeah. And they can be unfair. So we've asked you,
Starting point is 00:50:17 what have you encountered with a landlord or property manager? Someone said, my landlord came to do an inspection once and I'm always clean and tidy. However, she asked why there was so much foot traffic from the lounge to the door. Come on, Karen, the carpet needed replacing.
Starting point is 00:50:31 And what was I meant to do? Fly from one side of the room to the other? Seriously. And her name was actually Karen, by the way. Love it. It had been a windy day in Wellington and the wind had blown the pigs out of the pig basket in the morning prior to the inspection.
Starting point is 00:50:47 As part of the inspection report, it was requested that the pigs were returned to the pig basket. Oh, my God. Get over yourself. They were our pigs. Oh, jeez. Wow. Leah's here.
Starting point is 00:51:00 Hi, Leah. Hi, Leah. Hi. You got a story to share with us? I do. I'm actually the person who won the Expense Free 2023. Did you? Are you? Yes.
Starting point is 00:51:12 Amazing. How did it go? Was it a good rest of your year? Oh, yeah, absolutely amazing, apart from my landlord or property manager. What happened? When we moved out, they tried to charge us for lawn clippings, being on the lawn.
Starting point is 00:51:27 Wow. Yeah. Do you remember how much they were trying to charge you? I think they were trying to charge us around $500. Nah, get rid of it. Get off the actual grass. Leah, literally get off the grass. Leah, do you think that they heard you winning ZM's expense 323
Starting point is 00:51:44 and they knew they could flesh you for a bit of cash? Yeah, I reckon they saw the smack I talked about them in the media. What a joke. And here you are talking smack about them on the radio. Yeah. Harcourt Hamilton, what's up? They also tried to remove the, they charged us for the removal of a bag of cat treats
Starting point is 00:52:03 from the previous tenant on top of the cupboard as well. Oh, my God. Like, come on, guys. It's too petty at that stage. It's real petty. Listen to this one. Yeah. It says, my old property manager told me I had to stand on a chair and clean all of the light shades on our high ceiling during an inspection. I was eight and a half months pregnant
Starting point is 00:52:26 and she wouldn't let me wait until my partner was home from work. That's not funny. That's disgusting. They should be ashamed of themselves. That's a shocker. This is less serious. We got a warning for having one spider in the corner of our hallway. No others, no webs, just one spider.
Starting point is 00:52:48 Yeah, well, you probably put that spider there on purpose. Absolutely. You need to take a good hard look at yourself. You're renting this property, okay? How dare they? Is that spider paying rent? Yeah. Is that spider on the bond?
Starting point is 00:53:00 Are they on the lease? Well, that's the thing. Someone else said, our landlord told us if we didn't use the vegetable garden provided, they would come around and use it. Like a threat. How about if they're paying money at that property to rent it? That means you can't come around just whenever you want
Starting point is 00:53:20 and use the garden. Correct. Our landlord told us not to have my children come over to stay every second weekend as it would impact on the wear and tear of the property. What are you talking about? Houses are for people. What in the world? They are meant to be filled with literal people.
Starting point is 00:53:38 Wow. That's how houses work. It's actually amazing. People think they can get away with that stuff. I emigrated to New Zealand in 2002. The first rental would not give our bond back until every last leaf was picked up. They came back several times to check and trees dropped leaves all day. The house was filthy when we moved in, spotless when we moved out.
Starting point is 00:53:58 Not those bloody leaves though. Oh, those leaves can do some damage. Finally, Rebecca, what's your landlord story? Hi, so I got charged $50 for change of keys ownership when I moved out. What? What do you mean? Because they wanted to change the keys. I have no idea.
Starting point is 00:54:18 Like, I handed the key back to them that, you know, they gave me when I moved in. Yeah. Did you fight it? Did you pay it? In the end, they gave me when I moved in. Yeah. Did you fight it? Did you pay it? In the end, they just took it. Like, I could not be bothered. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:31 I know. And you want to fight them on principle, but then at the same time, you're like, oh, I'd rather just protect my own sanity here and just be done with these people. Yeah, it was kind of one of those cases because it was going back and forth and she was, like, rather new at her job.
Starting point is 00:54:44 I just cannot be bothered with this but this is so wrong and so many liberals. Beck, I would have loved if I was you, if I had a spare key
Starting point is 00:54:52 to go around like a week later just to check if they actually did. Yeah, see if they used your money. And then email her and be like,
Starting point is 00:55:01 upon inspection when I... They 100% did it. You can't change locks for $50. No way. They definitely didn't change the locks. It's such a good point. No, like, upon inspection when I... They 100% did it. You can't change locks for $50. No way. They definitely didn't change the locks. It's such a good point.
Starting point is 00:55:08 No, like, I don't know. It's just... Or are they saying, Bec... The rental company sucks. Yeah, gotcha. No, I'm real invested in this now. Were they saying that you got given more keys and that you needed to pay to have more keys cut?
Starting point is 00:55:21 Is that what they were saying? I honestly don't know. Like, there was no more explanation to the story. It was just change of ownership. Take the 50 bucks, never talk to me again. I get it. I get it. All the T's and C's. Thanks, Bec. Last one. Our landlord said to us, why is the cat
Starting point is 00:55:35 inside? No shit. You installed a cat door for us. Who do you think is coming in and out of the cat door? Bree and Clint. Time for a birthday banger. Bree and Clint. Who do you think's coming in and out of the cat door? Bree and Clint Time for a birthday banger Bree and Clint All I want for my birthday is a birthday banger

Starting point is 00:56:53 You can't judge Sir Mix-a-Lot through the lens of 2024. My Anna Counter don't want none unless you got buns, hun. Who's next? Dylan's going to do birthday banger.

Starting point is 00:57:43 that really sounded like this at the time. No. It was such a good song. Okay, one more for Olivia. Hi, Olivia. G'day, Liv. Hi, guys.

Split in the vote means Claudia has the hard decision to make. Claude, is it Ricky Martin, Clean Bander or Sir Mix-a-Lot? If it was a different

Starting point is 00:59:36 I saw the Herald has published tips on how to dine out at restaurants today. It's an etiquette expert. God, try saying that 10 times fast. Etiquette expert. Their guide to eating at restaurants. Not even fancy restaurants. Just like if you're going out to dinner with friends and how you should conduct yourself.
Starting point is 00:59:57 Not be on your phone. Not be on your phone. They didn't even cover that. I feel like that's a given. But not for everybody. It's not a given for everybody, is it? Don't eat with your mouth open. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:00:06 I think that one stands the test of time. And, you know, like there's some, I think there's some etiquette and manners rules from back in the day. Don't talk with your mouth full. Yeah, like that one I think is, you know, lasted the different eras. You know what hasn't and should? Which one? Take your hat off at the dinner table.
Starting point is 01:00:25 Yeah, it depends what hat. Really? No, it does not. Depends what hat. It depends where. No, it does not. It's a sign of respect to take your hat off at the dinner table. Yeah, it's a hat at the end of the day.

Starting point is 01:00:47 whoever made the booking, this is if you're going out to dinner with friends, okay? Whoever made the booking is the host of the dinner. Okay. Okay? And the host should take the lead
Starting point is 01:00:55 on a couple of things. They should take the lead on where people sit at the table. No. No, no. They're in charge. No, no. If I invited you and Claudia and Ella,
Starting point is 01:01:04 I should decide who sit next who sits next to each other absolutely freaking not this is not the 1940s really no but what if i want you to meet my friend ella and i think you guys would have a great conversation together so i'll put you guys together that's good for you stop telling me what i know claudia's a bit racist so i want to keep her away from my my um you know my racist family member who doesn't need any encouragement. You know, there's a bit of table politics. But wouldn't they have something in common?
Starting point is 01:01:29 Oh, yeah, but that'd be like a racist spiral. No, I can't agree. Producers, what do you think? Why are you doing this to me? No, I hate that. I don't want you to tell me where to sit. We're adults. If you want me to meet your friends, you just introduce us at the table.
Starting point is 01:01:42 Okay, you don't like it. All right, the host should take the lead on ordering the food. No. Guys, you haven't even heard it out yet.

Starting point is 01:02:27 and you should say something like, so I heard that the soft-shell crab is really good at this restaurant. To bring the focus back to the menu. And then you bring the focus back to the menu. It doesn't mean you have to order everything, but you should show some initiative. That's fine. And go, hey, I've suggested this restaurant.
