Captain's Log, Brian Clint, lockdown day 21? Day 21?
I have no idea.
I think we went in on a Wednesday and so we're on a Tuesday now of week 3.
So this must be day 21.
Jeez, it goes quick doesn't it?
Well it just turns into a blur And to any of our overseas listeners
Like in Australia who have had these
Really long lockdowns
You're like talk to us when it's been three months
But I feel like
We're in a vortex
Not saying that
Like when you're in level four lockdown in New Zealand
I feel like it's very strict
Compared to
Do you think?
Yeah because I've got family all over Australia
and I was talking to some
friends in Sydney and there was people who
were, I can't remember
the exact things that they were doing, but
all the things that they were doing when they were in a complete lockdown
we cannot do. I heard this, they were getting
haircuts. Yeah, there was like a bunch
of different things, like certain people
were allowed to go to work and not others
and then, yeah.
Have you seen the crowds at the beach?
In Sydney?
Yeah.
Nah.
Have you not seen those?
Wild.
It's like the busiest day in summer at St. Heliers in Auckland, for example.
That would be what, or probably it'd be a little bit more busy than that at the Sydney beach.
Are they masking it?
I find it weird to be in a mask on a beach.
I didn't see many masks in the video.
Yeah, right.
But to be honest,
it's more like there was like a metre between everyone.
Yeah, right.
Do you guys think I can pull off Adidas Originals Oswego's?
Of course, Kim.
How do you spell Oswego's?
O-Z-W-E-E-G-O.
Can I see them?
Definitely.
Oswego's.
Well, there's lots of different colours.
I haven't decided on a colour yet.
Ben backs you in without even seeing them.
Oh, those.
They're pretty easy.
They're like target-ish.
Yeah.
Anything in that muted beige is quite in.
Are they the ones that they copied off?
Are they running shoes or are they trendy shoes?
No, no, no.
They're like shoes.
Leisure shoes. You wear to work. Show me again. Are they running shoes? No, no, no. They're like shoes. Leisure shoes.
Show me again. Are they dad shoe style?
They are.
These aren't a very good picture of them. These look like
kids ones for some reason. Oh, they are.
Oh, that's infants.
This is women's. Yeah, right.
I'll zoom in. My friend Sharon
is kid size and
she gets the best shoe deals because she just wears
kids ones. Yeah, but Did you know that some kid shoes
aren't made with
the same materials sometimes
Really? The budget version?
So they're the budget version
So you just need to watch out for that
Suck on that Sharon
EAD Sharon
I'm still jealous
Yeah right So I found that out when I was buying E-A-D, Sharon. I'm still jealous. No, we love you, Sharon. Yeah, right.
Yeah.
So I found that out when I was buying, it was a certain, I mean,
it was this pair of white Adidas shoes that every man and his dog had.
You know those old school looking tennis shoes?
Yeah.
I think you've got some.
Stands?
Yeah.
No, not stands.
Oh, the ones your dad has with the rubber around the outsides?
Kind of, yeah.
Yeah.
Anyway, everyone had them and I went to buy some and I couldn't find the size that I was
buying for the person.
Yeah.
So then I was like, oh, I'll go check the kids section.
And then I went and looked and I picked up the shoe and I was like-
They're way cheaper too.
It was way cheaper because different materials.
Yeah, right.
Sometimes, not all the time.
Suck on that kids.
You think you're so cool in your tiny little Jordans?
Well guess what? Your parents are going to have to buy
your shoes way more often.
It's great because if they do want a pair of Jordans
they don't have to enter a raffle because there's
no raffles for kids shoes.
Wow, you don't know. How many swaggy kids
are you talking about? How many kids blogs are you on?
Whenever you go to buy Jordans,
the only ones that are even for sale
on the ones that have sold out before,
they're like, you know, you could buy them.
Anastasia's a sneaker freaker.
I'm not a sneaker freaker.
She just likes to make a quick buck.
Are you a flipper?
I just want some sneakers, all right?
Are you a plug?
Are you the plug?
No, I'm not the plug.
You've got two phones.
I follow this TikTok page because I am quite into sneakers and stuff as well.
I find it quite interesting.
I think it's called Sunset Sneakers on TikTok.
Is he the guy that refurbishes them?
No, so I follow that guy as well.
But this guy, essentially, he's made a business out of buying shoes
that are, like, hot or, like, having –
essentially he's a shoe store, but he, like –
He flips.
He buys and sells all the stuff and then he –
Does he shrink wrap them?
Is he that kind of guy?
No.
Is he the one who shrink wrap the shoes?
What?
Yeah, you get the shoe and you put it in, like, a vacuum bag thing.
I've seen that, yeah.
And it seals the shoes so it can't get damaged.
The hype stores in Australia have that.
Did you know, though, if you buy certain
shoes like Dunks and
Air Jordans and stuff
and if you don't wear them,
the soles after a certain amount of years
will just crumble. That's why they shrink wrap
them as well. Because the air can't get to them.
But you know what? Buying a second hand shoe
that's been shrink wrapped, can't give
it a snuff.
Can't get in there and give it a sniff test.
Why aren't you wearing them?
These are cool.
Oh, no, no.
You wear them.
Right.
Just while they're in the store,
they're shrink-wrapped.
But if you're a flipper,
if you're buying them to sell them,
then you will never wear them
so you keep them in pristine condition.
Yeah, so isn't that
so people don't go in there
and touch them with their grubby hands?
That too, yeah.
Also, it's just so that they feel exclusive.
It's like how people put those zip tags on them, you know?
Oh, no, those are off-whites.
I know, but other people do it too, so they're like,
yeah, it's a bling thing.
Yeah.
See, I reckon those Oswego's are just them being like,
oh, we've sold out of Yeezys, we'll just make some similar ones.
Yeah.
You guys have, you should go watch this TikTok
I had no idea
How big this community is
How many people
And how many different shoes
That are actually out there
It's crazy
Do you guys want to hear my Kanye West joke

I don't think so
I think so

I'm just looking at those shoes
Let's walk this chat out.
I was just about to say something real nasty.
What's that?
To Anastasia.
I don't want to do it.
Say it.
No, say it.
I was going to say.
Should I get this live?
I'll see you up again.
All right.
Well, should we wrap this thing up?
Or does anyone else have any jokes they want to share?
Oh, yeah.
I've got a joke.
Yeah.
Anastasia's dating life.
The only reason I make that joke is because I know that it's actually not true.
It's an imaginary joke, just like her dating life.
Come on, Ben.
One last punch, mate.
Come on.
Come on, man.
She's down.
She's down.
Finish her.
No.
It's been a while. Come on. No, I'm not's down. She's down. Finish her. No, no. It's been a while.
Come on.
No, I'm not doing it.
You know what?
You guys, as soon as level two opens up.
You're going to date everybody.
No, no.
Oh, sorry.
You're going to sleep with all of our partners.
Everyone run.
She's going to find you.
She's climbing in your window.
She's hooking up.
All right, dolphin us out before it gets up there.
Love you, Anastasia.
We love you, you badass bitch.
Hey, Google, what's the time?
It's 3 p.m., give or take a minute.
Alexa, play ZM on iHeartRadio.
Playing ZM on iHeartRadio. Hey,M on iHeartRadio. Hey Siri, when
are Brie and Clint on? Brie and Clint are on
air in 5, 4,
3, 2, 1.
G'day everybody. Brie and Clint
just doing a deep dive into bad
fashion choices from
the 2010s.
Probably just 2010s for a video Anastasia's
making. 2010s or earlier than that?
Um, let me just check this one. It's got a date Probably just 2010s for a video Anastasia's making. 2010s or earlier than that?
Let me just check this one.
It's got a date on it.
I was going to say, you ain't that young.
2008.
Yeah, I was going to say.
Was 2008 the last year it was appropriate to wear a fedora and waistcoat at the same time?
It was never appropriate.
Unless you grew up in the 50s.
How cool do I look though?
You look like Charlie Chaplin.
I was hoping for young Justin Timberlake,
but you know, you take what you get.
Whatever you think in your mind, just go with that.
It's 2008, we've all moved on, okay?
Maybe these pictures don't need to see the light of day.
I haven't.
I still sometimes think about ripping out a quiff.
Do you?
Yeah.
That didn't sound right.
That was a quiff, by the way.
A quiff.
A quiff.
And ladies, you know what I'm talking about.
If you grew up in the 2000s, because we all did it.
It sounds incredibly similar to something else that the ladies rip out.
Like a quiff.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
We don't just rip them out.
Right?
Don't you?
How would you know?
Forward.
I'm out of my depth. I don't feel rip them out. Don't you? How would you know? I'm out of my depth.
I don't feel like commenting anymore.
Today on the show, we have your chance to win some KFC.
We're going to play one of the games you might have seen on Celebrity Treasure Island last night.
The lying game.
Yeah.
How's your poker face?
Tell me a lie right now and let me believe it.
I had ice blocks for breakfast. Oh, wait. Is that a lie? No, this is where you're meant to tell me believe it. I had ice blocks for breakfast.
Oh, wait.
Is that a lie?
No, this is where you're meant to tell me if it is.
Well, technically it was an ice cream.
Oh, it's a lie.
It's a lie because you changed the detail.
Well, technically it was for lunch.
Yeah, right.
We'll practice.
We'll practice before we play the game.
I need some practice.
We're going to play Tradie vs. Lady first, though. Your chance to win $50 cash

Let's meet our lady first.
She's from the Garden City.
She's 37 and she's the project manager in construction.

And he tried to call yesterday, but he couldn't spell dial.
Welcome to the show, Angus.
G'day, Angus.
Hey, guys.
Hey, man.
I don't know if he's, you know, playing it down,
so then Jess thinks that you don't have much chop.
Well, this is somewhat of an intelligence test, Angus,
so you're not off to the best start.
Well, as long as there's no spelling.
Well, yeah, he's got a point.
Sometimes there is.
Will there be today?
We're about to find out, Angus.
Question number one, spell ZM.

We've got 50 bucks for your dial.
I mean, Angus.
Nice work, mate.
Thanks, guys.
You enjoy that 50 big ones.
Oh, I love a tight one, you know.
Might as well shout.
Yeah, you'll shout, Angus,
when we all get out of this bloody lockdown.
Tight game, by the way.
That was a tight game.
Love a tight game.
Yeah, I love a tight end.
A game.
Tight end.
Tight end to the game.
My favourite player in an NFL team, a tight end.
Sure.
Another thing online,
you and I like to talk about these every now and then
where, you know, it comes out that this new song sounds like this old song
and then we like to do the comparison and listen to both.
There's a guy I follow on TikTok who has a good word for it.
He calls it interpolation.
Apparently it's not ripping off an artist and it's not stealing their idea.
It's an interpretation.
Interpolation.
What's interpolation? Interpolation. It's an interpretation. It's an interpolation. What's interpolation?
Interpolation.
It's where you took inspiration from another song.
You didn't directly rip it off, but you interpolated it.
And that's why Olivia Rodrigo gave credit to Paramore
on the song Good For You.
Yeah.
Everybody heard it and she's like, oh, okay, you got me.
Yeah, I'll put the credit on there.
I'll give them a shout out.
It's interesting because I looked into this next comparison a bit more
and it is, funnily enough, of Olivia Rodrigo again.
I can't even talk.
And anyway, she has actually credited this person again.
Oh, really?
On this song.
So she got a hit of it.
She's going, yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
So the song I'm talking about is of course uh the massive hit
from her deja vu do you get deja vu huge huge she's one of the biggest artists of this year
she's had so many hits massive song um and she has credited now on this song none other than the goat Taylor
Swift herself.
Because she said
that she was so massively
influenced when she was
pretty much putting this song together
by Taylor Swift's song Cruel
Summer. Okay. So this is the song
we're talking about here.
I can kind of hear it. It's got little essence bits in it, doesn't it?
Yeah, a musical expert might go, yeah, they're the same song.
As a fan, I just go, oh, yeah, close.
I said, I want to hear this, you know, further.
And I said, producer Ben, can you please mash together
Olivia Rodrigo's song with Taylor Swift's song,
and it sounds something like this.
It doesn't kill me, makes me want you more.
So what are you going to tell her?
No, we did that too.
She thinks it's special.
But it's all reused. That was our place. So that's obviously Taylor Swift's music
with Olivia Rodrigo's lyrics on top.
Wow.
Can I just ask, Producer Ben, how much pitch shifting and that have you done in there to make them work?
You've obviously slowed Olivia down.
A little bit, but not too much.
Not a lot?
And do you think, like, tonally, I guess, are they in the same key?
Is that where it's...
They're completely different keys.
Different key?
They work.
It's close enough, but I don't think... If you had to match the key, like, with your singing voice, same key? Is that where it... No, completely different keys. Different key? They work. It's close enough,
but I don't think...
If you had to match the key
with your singing voice,
what key?
If you could just do an example.
That there?
I think that was actually quite...
I don't think that was...
It's an A major, I believe.
Again, I know nothing about music,
but yeah, right, okay.
What do we think?
I think that she's done well
to get out her head and go,
I was inspired by Taylor Swift.
I haven't ripped her off,
I was inspired by Taylor Swift. I haven't ripped her off. I was inspired by Taylor Swift.
She said, she goes,
I literally was influenced massively by that song from Taylor Swift.
Yeah, wow.
Okay.
Which I quite like that.
You have to draw influence from somewhere.
Yeah.
You know, it's like if you were, I don't know,
it's like if the singer of every rock and roll band
that came after the Rolling Stones had to give credit to Mick Jagger
for how they were on stage or something like that, right?
You were influenced from somewhere.
I mean, it's crazy when you realise things like Madonna's song, Hung Up.
Is it Hung Up?
Yeah, like the intro is, of course, Gimme More from, not Gimme More,
Gimme, Gimme, Gimme from ABBA.
Yeah, but that's a sample.
I know, but they're drawing something from somewhere.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
They're literally taking that from that song.
Yeah, but she paid for that.
Yeah, still.
Yeah, still, yeah.
Still.
Yeah, she has to credit her with money in that one.
I know, but she's still taking something and using that influence for her song.
Totally.
Brie and Clint.
Some stats have been released on the website that New Zealanders visited most in the last 12 months.
Let's get on the internet.
Mum, I'm going on the internet.
You can't go on the internet.
I'm talking to your auntie, Sharon.
Too late.
Mum, it's connecting. No,
get off.
I told you I had a phone call to make. That's
dial up, by the way, Jim Z. That's how we used
to get on the internet. How nostalgic is that?
This bit. What about where you'd
have to go into?
You'd have to go into your mum and dad
and you'd have to go,
Mum, can I go on MSN Messenger for like 30 minutes?
All my friends are on there.
And they're on the phone.
Yeah.
Your mum's like, okay.
They used to charge you by the hour.
It was like $2.50.
Well, the plan we were on was $2.50 an hour on the internet.
Oh, my God.
But the internet was slow, so everything took an hour.
Anyway, look, this has been compiled by a company called Mosh, and they have put together
from the last 12 months, the websites New Zealand has visited the most, and the results
will not surprise you, or will they?
The number one website New Zealanders have been on?
Netflix.
No, not Netflix.
Google.
YouTube.
Close, YouTube.
People are still on YouTube?
Yeah, I know people who watch YouTube. They get home for a big night on YouTube. People are still on YouTube? Yeah, I know people who watch YouTube.
They get home for a big night on YouTube.
I mean, I used to be that person 10 years ago.
Yeah.
How's your YouTube channel going?
Oh, it's killing it, mate.
It's not getting any love at all.
Killing it.
You know I made a bit of money on YouTube last month.
Did you?
Yeah.
How much?
I think I made $100.
Did you?
Yeah.
For what video?
I think it's a bunch of videos.
Get some more videos up.
Look at you.
You're always looking to make a quick buck.
Get some more videos up.
It's not that easy.
Also on the list of most visited websites, Facebook, obviously.
Obvious.
The New Zealand Herald is one of the most visited websites in New Zealand in the last 12 months.
Yes.
Trade Me, obviously.
Obvious. Addicted to Trade Me.
Reddit is on the list.
Really? Yeah. Okay. Reddit's a big one.
Everyone's got their own little wormhole down
Reddit. I like Reddit, the New Zealand page
on Reddit. I've just joined the Reddit Auckland
page, which so far, not as fun.
Oh.
And the last website that New Zealanders have been
visiting the most in the last 12 months
One category you seem to be missing
I'll just say what it rhymes with
It rhymes with Corn Hub
Now that would be a website
Yeah but it's not Corn Hub
I mean but a good idea for a website
Like Prawn Hub but take one of the letters out
There's another idea for a website
Yeah but that's not on the top one
Ben you'd be allergic to that website Yeah Yeah, he's allergic to that one.
You can't go to that one. Here's some stats. New Zealanders
spend an average of seven hours a day
on the internet.
That is a long time. Three hours
a day streaming television.
38 minutes
reading mass media
a day on the internet. Which is what, like the Herald?
The Herald reading the news. But that doesn't count
for like if you're like on social media.
No.
Mass media.
But what if you're like reading news articles and stuff?
Oh, like if you're clicking through to like Fox News and shit.
Yeah, that counts.
Okay.
And it's averaged across everybody, 42 minutes a day online gaming.
So...
Oh, I'd be in that category.
You're about 42 minutes?
Yeah, probably.
Just to take us out, who do you think, I'll give you some age groups,
who do you think are the biggest Facebook users?
Out of 15 to 24-year-olds, 25 to 34-year-olds, so you and me,
35 to 44-year-olds, 55 to 64-year-olds, or 65 plus?
55 to 64.
55 to 64?
Yeah.
You think they're the biggest Facebook users?
I've seen the comment section.
The boomer section?
Yeah.
Well, the investment property section.
Biggest Facebook users are 25 to 34-year-olds.
Is it us?
By a huge way.
All you millennials out there going,
I'm actually over Facebook.
It's not for me anymore.
I've moved on. I've moved on. I'm actually over Facebook. It's not for me anymore.
I've moved on.

I'm actually on TikTok now.
You're not.
You're on Facebook, okay?
You're in that Kmart group and you love Facebook.
You're in the comments section.
You're a Facebooker.
I'm getting off Facebook right now.
Bree and Clint.
Time for the latest.
From iHeartRadio, this is The Latest.
Live from LA with Dean McCarthy.
Dean, the bill is out for how much the Jackass guys spent on medical bills.
This is so wild.
After many years and 79 injuries through the six members of our Jackass,
they have spent a whopping $24 million on hospital bills.
Whoa.
I know, right?
So wild.
Look, the most, obviously, was, of course, went to leader Knoxville.
He has spent, I'm looking at this right now,
from cuts, bruises, $9 million,
everything from a brain hemorrhage, 16 concussions,
crutch injury, and even a stalled head.
And this is what we're talking about.
Steve O, $6 million worth of injuries.
It is absolutely wild.
So all those crazy stunts and wild things that they've done,
and we've all seen and loved, has accoladed to 79 injuries.
Healthcare in America is very expensive,
but $9 million patching up one man
That's incredible
That's crazy isn't it
They should have shot it here in New Zealand
And we could have got the whole thing covered by ACC
You know
You don't want to be putting that on New Zealand's bill
Get them some taxi chips
So they can still get around
Gene, was it the latest film that they've done
Some guy got bitten by a shark
Have you seen that clip I have not seen that clip yet It wasn't the latest film that they've done. Some guy got bitten by a shark. Oh, jeez.
Have you seen that clip?
Oh, my goodness.
I have not seen that clip yet, no.
Is it not one of the team or is it someone else?
So it's one of the new stunt guys that's been added to the team
because some of the guys are too old to do some of the stunts now.
And so...
They feed them to a shark.
Pretty much.
Jeez, welcome to the team.
How much would you get for that? Right? That'd be a couple of mil. You'd want a shark. Pretty much. Jeez, welcome to the team. How much would you get for that?
Right?
That'd be a couple of mil.
You'd want a little bit of something.
It nearly severed his thumb off.
Well, that sounds like the least of his issues if he's in there with a shark.
No, but the shark did.
Yeah, I know.
Right.
Just the thumb.
I reckon you'd be happy to escape with just the thumb.
I think he got out pretty well, to be honest.
Yeah.
It's the latest on Jackass.
Quite looking forward to that new movie, to be honest.
Yeah, I'll be watching it.
With Dean McCarthy, our Hollywood correspondent,
fuelled by Pepsi Max, Max Tastes Zero Sugars Given.
Free in Clint.
I've got a story that might make people anxious.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, so just a warning.
It's to do with winning the lotto.
Oh.
And I always think about this.
I always think about if I win like the lotto or if I win on a scratchy
and then having a physical ticket and losing it.
Have I told you about the time I thought I'd won?
Every week?
Yeah, no, no, but this one was really specific.
Like it was the first $27 million draw and it went.
Like it hadn't gone, hadn't gone, hadn't gone, and then it went.
And then I saw on the news the store that it had been sold from
and it was my store.
And so the drive home from the place I was at, I left early
because I was like, I literally have the winning lotto ticket in my wallet.
Because you were the only person that bought a ticket?
I called my mum to let her know.
I was like, hey, just so you know,
if anything happens to me, I think I've got the ticket.
Oh my God.
Yeah, I know.
And what happened?
I didn't have the ticket.
But you found your ticket.
Oh, I had my ticket in my wallet.
You just didn't have the winning ticket.
I just hadn't checked the numbers.
And I was like, it went from my store.
It's mine.
I've got it.
I've got a feeling it's mine.
I've got it.
And so all I'm saying is I know the anxiety that you're talking about,
which is why I buy my tickets online now.
Yeah.
It's the same.
Yeah, it's the same.
No, we've all been there where we're like, that could be me.
Yeah.
That could be me.
So this story is actually about a scratch-off ticket
where a woman has gone into a store.
This is in Italy and she's bought a scratchy
and she's scratched it and she's bought a scratchy and she's scratched
it and she's won the big prize.
Wow.
Okay.
Which was $831,000 on a scratchy.
Yeah, that's decent.
It's a lot of money.
It's a hell of a lot of money.
It's life changing money.
And you're holding it in your hand.
It's literally just this little piece of card.
And if the wind blows or if it rains or if someone runs past and grabs it.
It's it.
Anyway, so she has gone into the store where she bought it
because I think she scratched it just outside.
She's went back into the store and she's like, hey, can you tell me,
verify is this real?
Because she was an old lady, an older lady.
Anyway, the shop attendant looked at it and they were like,
I'm pretty sure this is real.
Let me get the owner.
Yeah.
So the owner comes out and he has a look at the ticket
and then does a runner.
I knew you were going to say that.
Runs off with the lottery ticket, this scratch-off ticket,
jumps on a moped and drives off.
What, like the Italian job or something?
Literally, this is what the story is.
Jumps on a moped and he
takes off anyway.
So she's obviously
got the police involved.
Kia ora, this is Toby Mann. I'm the host of Gone
by Lunchtime, a podcast for the spin-off podcast
network all about politics and politicians
with me, Annabel Lee-Mather
and Ben Thomas, careering wildly
from the very serious to the very ridiculous.
It's not for everyone.
I don't think it would be
Ellen's cup of tea,
but you, I reckon,
love it.
Gone by lunchtime.
Grab one now
wherever you get your podcasts.
They started to look for this guy
and they found him.
His plan was to go
to the Canary Islands
and pretty much just
live off this money.
So good news, they found him.
Bad news, they still haven't found the scratching.
No, really?
Yeah.
How devastating is that?
Look, I'll give you some advice.
And this is from someone who believes
they're going to win Lotto one day.
And also someone who has been present
when a winning lotto ticket has been redeemed.
I've told this story before.
My friend won First Division.
As soon as you scan it, you're safe.
That's all you have to do.
You just have to get to the store and scan it.
And once you do that, the security cameras will see you
and will know that it was a winning ticket.
A phone call goes through to Wellington.
The phone rings instantly.
The lotto booth gets shut down.
As soon as you've scanned it, you're safe.
That's all you have to do. But what if you walk soon as you've scanned it, you're safe. That's all you have to do.
What if you walk outside once you've scanned it and you get hit by a bus?
Then you don't need the money. Not safe
no more? No, there's always that.
Bree and Clint. Look, we're here to
answer the big questions
and the big question
today is, should you sleep
naked or not?
Clint, yourself, you like to let it all hang out?
No.
When you go night-night?
No.
No?
No.
You wear a full long johns, do you?
Yes, with a butt flap.
Nah, I don't like my bits flapping about in the bed.
That's not an image I asked for.
Well, literally, I don't like my bits flapping about in the bed. So I like to be contained's not an image I asked for Well literally I don't like my bits Flapping about in the bed
So I like to be
Contained
Used to just be
Jockstrap
No
Just undies and a t-shirt
You just described a jockstrap
Okay
I need my butt
Contained as well
So undies and a t-shirt
Undies and a t-shirt for me
Undies and a t-shirt
Definitely
Underwear and a t-shirt
Yeah right
Like in summer
Yeah
Underwear and a t-shirt
Don't even let the puppies roam.
No.
No.
So you're the same as me.
You like your bits contained.
Yeah.
And it's interesting because a doctor, well, he's a holistic plastic surgeon.
Oh, okay.
Which I'm not too sure what that is.
A holistic plastic surgeon will talk to you about why you want plastic surgery,
confirm to you that you have daddy
issues, and then he'll perform it for
you. I thought it was a plastic surgeon
for your orifices.
A holistic...
Anyway,
his name's Anthony, Dr. Anthony
I'm going to call him, and he posts
stuff on TikTok about medical issues
and he's waiting on the conversation of whether or not you should sleep in the nude.
Okay.
And here's what Dr. Anthony has said.
This is why you should never sleep in the nude.
The average person passes gas 15 to 25 times a day.
And this can happen while you're sleeping.
And a scientific study proved that every time you pass gas, you are spraying a tiny amount of fecal material.
And that same study showed that your tighty-whities will catch all of these particles.
Oh, yuck, Doc.
So what he's saying, if you sleep naked without underwear, you're shooting poo cannons inside the covers.
You're literally shitting the bed.
Literally.
Oh, that was grim.
So you should be changing your sheets if
you are sleeping naked more often.
I think. Producer Ben, do you sleep
naked? I think he does. Is that
a bit of you? I don't sleep naked, no. I've got
jockeys on. Not since he heard that clip.
He's like, I've changed my mind.
What about Producer Anastasia?
Strictly undies
for me. Well, that's good.
Keep your poo contained. We're all doing yeah, you've got to lock it down. Yeah, good. Well, that's good. Keep your poo contained.
We're all doing, yeah, you've got to lock it down.
Yeah, lock it down.
But imagine if you're, you know, just picture this.
Well, you've made it way less sexy, you know?
Well, I mean, the truth hurts.
Imagine if you, you know, sleep in a bed with your partner
and one person's the big spoon, one person's the little spoon.
Let's say the person who is the little spoon sleeps naked.
That means technically, I mean, you can do the math.
I did the math, yeah.
What about it's your relationship
and you're doing your traditional Saturday morning Dutch oven
but you're fully naked?
Oh, no, I've never done the holy grail Dutch oven where you are fully naked.
Well, don't.
That's what I'm saying.
Don't.
Because that's, I mean, that's.
That's a recipe for pink eye.
Yeah.
Literally, that is like a pink eye chamber that you are creating in your bed.
Let's poll the people this afternoon, I reckon.
No, I don't want to poll.
Yeah.
I want to guess.
Okay.
Because I think it'd be fun to see if you and I
can tell whether we are talking
to a naked sleeper. Oh, yeah.
Or someone who sleeps with clothes on. Yeah, okay, alright.
Call us if you're in either
camp. Either or. Yep, totally. Doesn't matter.
Yep, 0800 dial ZM.
And we will guess if you
sleep in the nutty or if you've
got clothes on. No judgement, okay? Even though
you just heard that fecal matter stuff.
No judgment.
Hey, no judgment.
You just found that out, so we're not going to judge you.
Hell no.
It's about what you do tonight, now that you know.
Bree and Clint.
A doctor has come out and said that it could be bad for you to sleep naked
because up to 15 to 25 times a day, we spray faecal matter.
Okay, that's overly descriptive terminology.
That's exactly what he said.
I know he did, but he was looking for a rise, okay?
He's trying to get a bite and he got it.
How else would you describe it?
He's saying that if you sleep nude, you're doing little poo-poos in the bed.
Okay, that's all you need to say.
Neither of us are nude sleepers,
but this afternoon we're going to try and guess whether you are.
If you'd like to play this, you can still call us on 0800-DIALS-ZM,
but we have some willing participants here this afternoon.
Kia ora, Tui.
Hello, Tui.
Hey, Tui.
Hey, Tui.
Like, have things.
Yeah, good.
All right.
Any questions, Clint?
Tui, can I ask, are you a single man or a man in a relationship?
I'm a man in a relationship.
Okay, good.
And do you share the bed?
Like, you live together?
Yeah, we do.
Yeah, okay.
Tui, do you typically run hot?
I do.
He's naked.
Nah, nah, nah.
I found the best thing for running hot is to put a layer on.
They do say that, don't they?
Yeah.
I'm going to say he sleeps with clothes on.
You can lock in nudes.
I'm going to lock in nudie rudie.
Tui, what are you?
I sleep with jocks on.
Yeah.
Just a little regulator.
Just a little jockey regulator in there.
Okay, good, Tui.
Thank you.
Judging from that study, your partner thanks you.
Crystal's here.
Hi, Crystal. Hi, Crystal. Hi. from that study, your partner thanks you. Crystal's here. Hi, Crystal.
Hi, Crystal.
Hi.
Hi.
Ooh.
Crystal, are you in a relationship?
No.
Okay.
What size bed do you have?
Super King.
Oh.
Crystal, I'm so jealous of you.
What sort of sheets do you have on that bed?
Sometimes arctic sheets, sometimes summer sheets,
depending on the summer or the winter.
And are you the sort of person who pays attention to things like thread count?
No.
No, okay.
Have you ever had silk sheets, Crystal?
No.
Satin sheets?
No.
Linen sheets?
Yeah.
Linen sheets are beautiful. Linen sheets are beautiful.
Linen sheets are beautiful.
Especially against a nude body.
I don't know.
Crystal sounds like she's got a bit of jazz about her.
I reckon she's a nude sleeper.
I think she's a nudie rudie too.
Crystal, you're a nudie rudie when it comes to sleeping in your super king bed.
Yes.
Yeah.
And you know what?
The only person you've got to worry about is yourself.
What do you think about Bree's research that says every time you sleep nude,
you're doing a little bit of poo-poos in the bed?
Well, I never really thought about it like that.
You can just move to the other side of your super king.
It's all good.
Just rotate position.
So big.
We've got one more willing participant in our nude sleep survey.
Brittany's here.
Hi, Brittany.
Hi, Brittany.
Hi.
Some questions for you.
Oh, we hear little biters in the background there.
Are those your children?
Yes, they are.
Okay.
She's not a nude sleeper.
She's not a nude sleeper.
You can't be.
You need to get up at the second.
Imagine you hear something go crash and you've got to run with your nungas flapping around.
You know?
Can you not say nungas flapping around?
Well, you said spray faecal matter, so who's really doing more damage here?
Britt, you're not a nude sleeper.
Yes.
So you do have clothes on when you sleep?
I have kind of, not really.
Oh, okay.
What do you mean?
So I sleep with just undies.
Oh, wow.
And if I need to get up to my kids, I put a blanket around me.
Yeah, right.
Okay.
That counts as not a nude sleeper.
She's not a nude sleeper, no.
No.
When she was like, oh, kind of, I just can't quite explain.
I was like, wow, what is she doing?
Is she sleeping in a Superman suit or something?
What's it going to be?
Imagine running into your mum in the hallway in the middle of the night.
Yeah.
Going to the bathroom.
Yeah, with her nungas flapping around.
I know what you mean.
Ah, mum!
Put them away!
You're going to trip over those things.
My mum has very perky breasts, thank you.
She prefers the term nungas, thank you.
It's time for a morale boosting request.
Where to properly execute this feature, we need an impartial judge.
Someone listening right now to call 0800DIALSATM
and help us vote and pick the best of these duos or duets for Level 2 tomorrow.
If you want to be that person, call us now, 0800-DIALS-IT-M.
First option that will boost the mood of the nation
that's come through on the text machine,
what about High School Musical?
Zach and, um, what's her name?
Vanessa Hudgens.
Vanessa.
Yeah.
I like this song so much that I put it in our DJ set.
And it went off, to be honest.
I was so anti, but it did go off.
Is it in or out?
It's in.
It's in.
Taylor, breaking free, is it in or out?
In, definitely.
It's in, okay.
Yes, Taylor, my girl.
What about, oh, Ben, can you put the Veronica's on here?
I've lost it.
We'll come back to them.
What about Jay-Z and Linkin Park?
Iconic song.
Yeah.
Don't know if it's morale boosting.
But do you want it considered?
I mean, do you?
Taylor, what do you say about this?
I agree it's not very morale boosting. Yeah, I, what do you say about this? I agree. It's not
very morale boosting. Yeah, I love it, but let's
get rid of it.
They're here now. What about the Veronicas?
A duo.
In or out, Taylor?
We're still in.
Absolutely in. Shout out to the
Veronicas. They lost their mum a couple of days
ago. Did they? Yeah, really sad, actually.
That's really sad news.
Okay, what about Justin Bieber and Nicki Minaj?
One of my friends said to me one time,
they looked at me and they said,
look, I understand the Justin Bieber thing.
I get it.
But God, I hate this song.
What about the dubstep breakdown?
You've got to keep your eyes on Selena. In or out? Bieber thing. I get it. But God, I hate this song. What about the dubstep breakdown? Taylor.
In or out?
In. I remember the dance
from back in the day. I quite
like that song. I think they mesh
well together. Even though they probably never met.
What about
the Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers
of our day, Nelly and Kelly?
Icons. Icons.
Icons.
Is it a morale booster, though?
110%.
120%.
Taylor, you know what I love about you?
You're very positive and you just want everything to play.
Well, she knows what she wants, right?
She's very decisive.
Me to be morale boosting. That's the only thing. So, wait. So, is knows what she wants, right? She's very decisive. Needs to be morale boosting. That's the only
thing. So, wait, so is it
in or out, Taylor? I like
it in, honestly. Right, it's in.
The last one we couldn't go past. You can't do
a duets competition without
Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers.
What do you think about that, Taylor?
You make it hard to say no, to be honest.
Yeah, I know.
I feel like we have to put it through.
It doesn't have to win, but we have to put it through.
I can't even remember how many are in the final now.
All of them except for Linkin Park.
Okay, so here are your options.
We're all going to listen to them and then we're going to vote.
We've got High School Musical.
The Bronicas.
Justin Bieber.
And Nicki Minaj.
Nelly and Kelly.
Or Islands in the Stream.
I've got my vote.
You know your vote, Taylor.
Do you know your vote?
Yeah, I do.
Come on, Taylor.
I feel like we're in sync.
Come on, Taylor.
We're going to say it together in three, two, one.
High School Musical.
Beauty and a Beat.
Nelly.
Okay, let's vote again.
Someone needs to change their vote.
Who's going to change their vote?
You can keep your vote as it is.
Let's go again.
High School Musical.
High School Musical.
Yes!
Yes, Taylor!
I was trying to stall it and see if I could swing the vote.
Yes, Taylor, my girl.
Here we go, everybody.
All the way.
You brought home the bacon.
Morale booster in New Zealand.
Brie and Clint and Taylor on ZM.
Soaring, flying.
Brie and Clint.
Last night, season two of Celebrity Treasure Island started.
There's a great game on there that I thought,
well, we all thought we should rip off today on the show.
Yeah, it was a game that I actually played
with the contestants at the end of the episode
in the captain's test, which the captain's tests
are all about a game of bluff.
Right.
And it is a simple game in theory,
but that's if you can read people.
Similar to that show, Would I Lie to You, except much more simple.
Anastasia will give us a word, and we have to change one letter in that word
to make it a completely different word.
We'll then tell you what that word is,
and you need to say whether we're lying or not, if that's actually the word.
Is that the word we actually change it to, or are we telling you a fib?
Going head-to-head today is Anthony. Hi, Anthony.
G'day, Anthony.
You'll be playing against Helen.
Hi, Helen.
Hi, Helen.
Hi.
Hi.
Okay, Anastasia, when you're ready.
I reckon Anthony and Bree, do you think?
No, they both play, don't they?
Oh, do they?
Don't they?
Yeah.
Do they?
Yeah, they both play.
All right, they're both in.
Yeah, cool.
Awesome.
So they'll just get a point if they get the answer right.
Got it.
Now I'm on board.
You're on board.
Sweet.
Cool.
So Bree, would you like to hear your first word?
Give it to me, Stace.
And she's going to change one letter.
Your word is king.
King.
Okay, hold on.
I'm just going to write that.
K-I-N-G.
All right.
I've got my word.
I have changed my word to ping.
Anthony, is Bree telling the truth or is she lying?
Lying.
All right, you're saying I'm lying.
Helen, what do you think?
I think you're telling the truth.
I told a lie.
Anthony, that's a point to you.
Congratulations.
I changed it to ting.
Which I don't know if it's a word.
No, it's a word.
The ting-tings.
Remember, they're a band.
Yeah, good to go.
Awesome.
So Anthony's in the lead with one point.
Clint, your word is cat.
Cat.
The word I have changed cat to is mat.
M-A-T, mat.
Anthony, am I telling the truth or am I lying?
Telling the truth.
Helen, am I telling the truth or am I lying?
I'm going to go with a lie.
The word I wrote down, Bree, was?
Mat.
That's another point to Anthony.
All right, if Anthony gets this one, he wins.
Good job, Anthony.
All right, Helen, you're still in the game.
Don't worry.
Bree, your second word is lake.
Lake. L-A-K-E.
Okay.
All right, I 100%, and I'm not lying, change my word to late.
L-A-T-E, late.
Anthony, is Bree telling the truth or is she lying?
Truth.
She's telling the truth.
Helen, you need this to stay in the game.
Is Bree telling the truth or is she lying? I'm going to say she's truth. Helen, you need this to stay in the game. Is Bree telling the truth or is she lying?
They're going to say she's lying.
Helen, I told the truth.
She told you she told the truth and she was telling the truth
when she told you she was telling the truth.
That means, Anthony, you've won the game 3-0.
Congratulations.
We've got 50 KFC chicken dollars coming your way.
Awesome.
Anthony, my last question.
Do you work for the FBI?
Anthony, can you see us right now?
I feel like you know.
Where are you, Anthony?
You can see a brand new episode of Celebrity Treasure Island
back on TVNZ2 tonight at 7.30.
It's hosted by Bree Thomasel.
She's that chick off the radio.
Lucky I'm not in the game.
I'd be horrible.
Just get Anthony on the show.
Yeah, I know.
Bree and Clint.
Swooping magpies.
Oh, yeah.
Swoopy boys.
Which I haven't been swooped by a magpie in New Zealand.
Good.
Since moving here.
Good.
Which I'm stoked about.
You stopped wearing that reflective headgear of yours.
Yeah.
It's interesting.
In Australia, I remember when obviously the magpies have had their babies
and stuff, there'd be certain roads that we couldn't ride to get to school
because the magpies were so bad.
Is that why they swoop?
Is it a defensive thing?
Yeah.
I thought they were just psychopaths.
It's only around when they've got their young babies.
Yeah, right.
In the nest and stuff.
Yeah, so that's why they swoop.
So I'm stoked about that.
New Zealand really is the safest place in the world.
And there's all kinds of videos coming out on the internet
at the moment about people getting swooped
and there's this one kid called Isaac who's shared a video on TikTok
where, I mean, he was asking for it.
He went out there looking to get swooped.
Oh, was he?
Oh, right.
Okay.
And swooped he got.
Oh, f**k.
Holy s**t.
It f**king touched me.
It f**king touched me.
Ah!
Ah, f**k. Well, sounds like he's taking it well. It touched me. It touched me.
Well, sounds like he's taking it well.
I mean, sounds like he was pretty scared.
It made me think of a good friend of mine who I used to work in radio with.
Her name is Amber.
And this was quite a few years ago, but she did a radio show in a rural town and she thought it'd be, you know,
she wanted to do some investigating around swooping magpies
and what worked and what didn't work to detour the magpie.
Got it.
So obviously there's the classic, you put branches or the zip ties.
I've seen the zip tie one coming off your helmet.
On your helmet.
And she tested that and it worked.
Yes. And then she also and it worked. Yes.
And then she also filmed herself testing whether or not
if you draw fake eyes on the back of your helmet.
Oh, to intimidate the magpie.
Yeah, so it looks like someone's looking at the magpie.
Okay, I'm looking at her now.
She has nothing else, no sunglasses or anything?
No.
No eye protection?
So all she had was two eyes drawn onto the back of her helmet
and here's some audio of my friend Amber testing out whether or not it worked.
Ah!
Ah!
Oh, no!
The eyes don't work!
The eyes don't work!
The eyes don't work!
Get it off!
Get it off!
Oh!
Get off!
Get off!
Oh, my God!
Is it good?
I'm not joking.
The eyes don't work.
And then at one point she yells, get mum!
Get mum!
Get mum!
Bree and Clint.
Hey.
It's my birthday.
It's my birthday.
Bree and Clint's birthday banger. All right, this is where we take three people's birthdays
and we figure out what was the number one song on the charts on their 16th
and then we'll play our favourite one.
Donna's here. Kia ora, Donna.
G'day, Donna.
Hey, how's it going?
Not too bad. How are you?
Pretty good.
Are you getting a level two tomorrow? Are you breaking free?
Totally am.
Yeah, good for you. Jealous. What takeaways have you had this week two tomorrow? Are you breaking free? Totally am. Yeah, good for you.
I'm jealous.
What takeaways have you had this week, Donna?
None.
Haven't.
None?
Good self-control.
Well done.
Okay, what's your birthday?
Did you say it wasn't easy?
I love that, Donna.
What's your birthday, mate?
September 81.
All right, you were 16 in 1997.
And on the 7th of September in 97, this was number one.
Come on, Barbie, let's go party.
I'm a Barbie girl in the Barbie world.
Happy, classy, fantastic.
Pretty good.
The aqua.
That's okay.
It's okay.
What were you hoping for in 1997?
I guess you could have had Spice Girls.
Well, yeah, this is true.
What were you a fan of in 97, Donna?
I don't know.
I was kind of like just finishing school,
so it was sort of one of those undecided just whatever's on the radio.
You would have been old.
Yeah, you would have been oldie.
You would have been too cool for Aqua, I reckon.
Bit of Evanescence.
Wake me up inside. Evanescence? Yeah, we were have been ulti. You would have been too cool for Aqua, I reckon. Bit of Evanescence. Wake me up inside.
Evanescence?
Yeah, we were all into it.
I reckon you're about 10 years early.
Am I?
In 97.
Oh, yeah, maybe I am.
Yeah, yeah, I reckon wrong decade.
10 years early, you reckon?
I reckon they're about 2007.
Who knows?

Oh, we're jealous, Craig.
Let's do your birthday banger.
What's your birthday?
It's the 19th of November, 1982.
All right.
You were 16 in 1998.
And on the 19th of November in 98, this was top of the chart.
Yes, Craig.
I can see you going off to this.
Inside the Outback or Bar 101, just going hard.
You've got to close it for a minute.
Craig, did you have the frosted tips?
Um, oh, oh, my God, for a year when I was 15.
Well, perfect timing.
This is number one on your 16th.
Wait there.
We'll do one more for Joanne.
Hey, Joanne.
G'day, Joanne.
Hi.

I'm good, thank you.
That's good, Joanne.
Are you going into level two. Hi. How are you going? I'm good, thank you. That's good Joanne. Are you going into

Waikato, so we are, yeah.
Lovely. Very jealous of you guys. You can go meet up
with Craig. Yeah.
He sounds like a bit of you. What's your
birthday Joanne? It's on

Disco-rific. Do you like it, Joanne?
Yeah, no, it's good.
Thank you.

Okay, someone has to win.
I vote for Craig from the Waikato today.
Yeah, I like that five song.

Yeah.
Okay, let's do it.

He's heading straight to Victoria Street.
Well done, man.
You just won birthday banger.
Time to get up, Craig.
You've got places to be.
Zeddy and Brian Clint.
The winner of birthday banger is Five and Everybody Get Up.
Great music video.
Ben sometimes put them on in here.
Very, very cool video
where I'm pretty sure
at least two of the members of five
are wearing those
special contact lenses
that made your eyes
look a different colour.
Because they were so blue.
Yeah.
We've got an apology
to make by the way.
I feel like an a-hole.
It was Donna's birthday.
I hate when you and I do that.
We both missed it. We both missed it.
We both missed it. Mainly Anastasia.
Mainly Anastasia missed it.
She answered the phone. Donna,
if you're still listening,
even though you shouldn't be because you should be
boycotting us because we totally missed
your birthday, we apologise.
Happy birthday.
Imagine running a birthday feature on your radio show
and then when someone
Calls up to play
On their birthday
Idiots
You don't acknowledge it
Yeah
Donna
You
And she was so lovely too
Yeah
She was so nice to us
Didn't say anything
Didn't make a big deal out of it
And then didn't
Didn't even play her song
We're sorry Donna
Bloody Craig from the Waikato
He got us
You know
He charmed the pants off us Bloody Craig And that's what the men of the Waikato He got us You know he charmed the pants off us
Bloody Craig
And that's what the men of the Waikato
Will do to you
In a terrifying technological development
The police in Singapore
Are rolling out Robocops
That is so scary
I've seen iRobot
I know what can go wrong
Have you seen that movie?
No, but I know what it's about.
It's very sci-fi to me, but it's real.
So they're these autonomous robot things that are driving around the streets of Singapore looking for crime.
And by crime, I mean they're looking for people who are, what does it say?
Smoking in prohibited areas, improper parking of bicycles
and littering. All the
hard crimes. All the hard shit, yeah
all the real gangsters. There's
one of them there, kind of looks like the
Dalek of
Doctor Who
and I don't know how it
punishes you but it'll drive up to you
and they say that it can't
shoot you but I mean not yet, right?
They haven't.
I heard that the way it punishes you is that it actually drives up to you
and just hits you like right in the shin.
Right, okay, yeah.
Because you know how much that hurts.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And that's like a warning.
And then if you do it again, if it's like your second warning,
it actually locks you in and then puts a screen right in your face
and makes you watch the Big Bang Theory.
Does it?
Right, okay.
Which I mean, I don't want to get caught by that.
I mean, that's one way to keep people straight, isn't it?
I mean, I'm not messing with that.
Singapore is a place where you can get arrested for chewing gum.
Put it this way.
Yeah, chewing gum.
Chewing gum is illegal in Singapore.
It is the cleanest place in the world.
So, of course, they're the first country to roll out anti-littering robots.
But is this the future?
I don't know.
You know?
I wonder what they do if you get caught weeing in public.
Run you over.
Or they have a little suction thing that sucks it up
and then it sprays the wee back on you.
Now that is a good idea
That is justice
What if I told you ducks
Can talk
Yeah I know one
Do you? Yeah Donald
No no
I'm talking about a cartoon duck
I'm talking about a real
Duck
Is that it right there?
No that's just a random duck that I got off YouTube I'm talking about a real duck. Is that it right there? No, that's just a random duck that I got off YouTube.
I'm talking about Ripper.
He's a musk duck who was hand-reared by human beings
in Australia's Tidbinbilla Nature Reserve,
located about 30 miles outside of Canberra.
And he's old.
These ducks live for ages. Hera. And he's old.
Okay, these ducks live for ages.
He's at least 40 years old.
What?
Yeah, these musk ducks live for ages.
Like, they breed into their 20s.
Obviously, they don't like duck a la roche out there.
No, they don't like confit duck.
These guys have been protected.
Oh, he's cute.
Is that the duck?
That's him.
That's Ripper.
So they said that from the beginning, Ripper was mimicking sounds like birds do.
You know how birds will hear a noise and they'll do it?
He was doing door slamming early on, mimicking that noise.
Human coughing, he was mimicking human coughing.
But his trainers believe
that he has mastered human speech.
This is not a send up. This is not a joke.
Okay?
What I've got here is a recording of Ripper
the Musk Duck. Do you think it sounds like
a human talking? I do but only
because they've told me what to listen
for. You know? One of those ones. So I want to play
it to your virgin ears. Okay.
And you tell me if you can hear something. I'm ready.
I'm ready to hear it. This was recorded
in 1987 using a
Sony Walkman.
So it's not the best audio. Oh no.
But they've got this and this is the
clip of Ripper, the duck
talking. Did I make anything out there?
No, what did he say?
Couldn't hear anything? Couldn't hear any words?
No.
So, what if I told you that he had a handler in 1987
and one of his main things that he said,
you know how people have some words they just say often,
was, you bloody, people have some words they just say often, was,
You bloody fool.
Okay?
Have a listen to it again and see if you think Ripper the Duck is speaking English.
Just play it for me.
Just play it for me.
Just play it for me.
Just play it for me.
Just play it for me.
What about now?
It sounds like he's saying, just play it for me.
Just play it for me.
Well, even if he is saying that, it's still English, right?
Yeah, still counts. You seem really, really calm about the fact that ducks may have mastered the English language.
Well, I mean, to be honest, a lot of birds can speak, and it's a bird.
Yeah.
So I'm not super, you know, if you had brought in a hippo
and the hippo is all of a sudden, I'm like, never heard that before.
Right.
You know, it's a bird.
So I am impressed.
I mean, ducks are one of my favourite birds.
Yeah.
Pretty cool.
But hippo, that's what you're looking for?
I'm looking for it.
So if you see a story about a hippo.
All right, Ben, back to the research minds, man.
Just can you do some digging on talking hippos?
Some people, eh?
Some people.
