Good everybody, welcome to the Bree and Clint show. G'day guys, happy Tuesday. I don't know how much more of this FIFA Women's World Cup I can deal with. Oh, you were up late last night, weren't you? I've been up late every night. I'm entranced by the whole competition. We had another penalty

shootout last night with England versus Nigeria. Amazing game. Yeah. And then... Who won? England won in penalty shootouts, but damn, it was close. Yeah. And then the Matildas took on Denmark and beat them 2-0 to go through to the quarters.

I mean, just get me in and around it. I'm even thinking about buying flights at the last minute to go watch the quarterfinals in Australia. Why don't you watch the quarterfinals in New Zealand? I am. I'm going on the Friday night. Oh, no. Too much, mate. Too much.

And then I'm thinking about flying to watch my Matildas. Oh, I just love it. No, you need a football intervention. No, no, too much, mate. Too much. And then I'm thinking about flying to watch my Matildas. Oh, I just love it. No, you need a football intervention. No, I love it. Football is life for me right now, but damn, it's eating into my sleep. Hey, if you want to win with us today, you've still got time to go and submit your kitchen hack

So submit those entries right now at ZM online. Let's kick off the show, though, with $50 up for grabs. Thanks to KFC with Tradie versus Lady.

Let's do it. If you're a tradie and or a lady and you're keen to play with us, you should call us on 0800 dial ZM. We'll play next. Bree and Clint. Time for Tradie vs. Lady. It's Tradie vs. Lady. Three, two, one, let's go.

All right, the Tradies and the Ladies going head-to-head. Score for the year, the Tradies on 66 plays the Ladies, 70 wins. Ladies first. Let's go to the Tron. She's 26 and she's a nurse. Welcome to the show, Kelsey. Hi, how are you? Good, thanks, Kelsey.

Are you guys striking tomorrow or has that been all done and dusted for the nurses? It's all been cancelled and, yeah, no longer striking. Are you happy with what they agreed to for the unsafe staffing levels and stuff? I'm as happy as can be, I think. It's been a long, drawn-out process. Oh, it's been years.

I think I had it over. Yeah, I bet. I can imagine. Oh, good. Well, happy for you then. Let's go to our tradie. They're calling from Invercargill. They're 22, and they are the coolest ginger that they know.

Welcome to the show, Ollie. G'day, Ollie. G'day, Ollie. G'day, how are you? Good, thanks. What do you think makes you the coolest ginger? Just the colour of it, you know. Oh, you mean the colour itself is cool. So you're more like a strawberry blonde.

No, I'm not that ready. A cool ginger as opposed to like a fiery ginger. Is that what you mean? Yeah, pretty much. Yeah, sure. Okay. I don't. Is that what you mean? Yeah. Sure. Okay. I don't know what that means. I'll pretend.

Then we'll just roll with it. Ollie, your buzz is tradie. Kelsey, yours is lady. First one of you to get three correct answers is going to go home with $50 cash from KFC. Good luck. Here we go, guys. Question number one. The government has said it wants to build an underwater tunnel in which part of the country?

Tradie. Yes, Ollie. Auckland. Yeah. The government has said it wants to build an underwater tunnel in which part of the country? Trady. Yes, Ollie. Auckland. Yeah. It is Auckland. Nice work. Question number two, one to the tradies. KLM, Qatar and United are all names of what type of business?

Yes, Ollie. Football? No. Kelsey? Sorry, I didn't hear the end of the question. So they're names of what type of businesses? They're all the same type of business. No, I'm not sure.

No. We were looking for airlines. Question number three, still one to the tradies. Which grain is used to make flour? Lady. Yes, Kelsey. Wheat. It is wheat. She's on the board. One apiece. Question number four. Buzz in when you can tell me

How many players are on the pitch for one team at a time in soccer? Lady. Yes, Kelsey, Justin. Seven. Incorrect, Ollie. 13. We were looking Ollie? Paratine. We were looking for 11 is the answer. Still no points there.

Two to the tradies, one to the ladies. Question number six. Country music singer Luke who performs in... Lady. Yes, Kelsey. Luke Combs. Luke Combs is correct. We are all tied up here this afternoon.

It is two apiece. This is for the win, guys. Question number seven. What is the largest museum in the world? Have a guess. I would just name any museum you can think of at this stage. To be honest, I don't think I could name one. Yeah, Oli.

Invercargill one. I like that, Ollie, for comedic value. Do you want to guess? I like that you didn't even name the museum. You just said the Invercargill one. Kelsey's like, I don't want to embarrass myself. Do you mean the motorbike museum in Invercargill, Ollie? Yeah.

That's a museum. Yeah. The answer we were looking for is Ollie. Yeah. Yeah, sure. That's a museum. Yeah. Yeah. The answer we were looking for is the Louvre. Question number eight. This is still for the win. What product is Tip Top most famous for? Lady.

Yes, Kelsey. Ice cream. Ice cream is correct. Well done. She's got it. God, good game though. The Invercargill one. I liked it.

Kelsey, you're the winner. You get 50 bucks cash from KFC. Congratulations. That's great, thank you. Have a good day at work tomorrow. Oh, okay. Well done, mate. Well done.

Bree and Clint. Do you know the number of people using dating apps since COVID is going down? Is it? Yeah, makes sense. People were stuck in lockdown in their own house so they had to do a bit of window shopping. It's the only way you could really connect with people.

It's the only way. Set up some dates for afterwards or do one of those socially distanced dates. Lame! When do you decide? What if we kissed through our masks? What date do you decide to join Bubbles? Bubbles? Oh, yeah.

Remember Bubbles? Oh, yeah. You could merge Bubbles. When do we merge Bubbles? Some people are claiming it's not just the COVID thing. They have dating app fatigue. Like, I'm sick of it. Yeah, it's quite like.

Especially if you live in a smaller place too, you would have seen everybody by now. Yeah, it's quite like being on a rat wheel. You're kind of just going round and round, same kind of stuff. Same people. But there's a new way of dating. It's an online sensation called Date Me Docs. Date Me Docs.

A Date Me Doc is... Good looking pair of Doc Martens. No, not quite. Kind of like the boots. No. Remember the... The Doc Martens. Remember the FM boots?

Oh, yeah. Remember those boots? That was such a 2000s thing, eh? It was, eh. Put on your F me boots? Yeah, F me boots. No one talks about F me boots anymore. Oh, no, wait.

They were come, it was a C F boots. Was it? C F M boots. I just remember F me boots being the thing. Yeah, right. And every girl referred to her boots, those boots. You all had a specific set of boots. It's such a core memory that I've forgotten for a long time.

You know there's an episode of Friends where Monica spends all this money on a pair of boots. They don't call them that, but that's what they are. That's what they are. That's what they are. Didn't you buy a pair earlier this year? I sure did. Yeah.

Late to the party. Yeah. And let me confirm, they were. Anyway, a date me doc is where you essentially write an essay about yourself and then the document is shareable. It can be like a thousand words on you. I'm writing an essay about myself. Yeah, you are.

Oh, no. You see the dating apps is a bit superficial. Five photos of you and a short blurb about what you're into. Not enough. It's not going deep enough. So you write a thousand words on what you're like, what you like and like what you're looking for. Someone sent me an essay to read about themselves.

Yeah. I'd be like, do you want to just meet up for a date so we can talk in person? It'll take you seven minutes to read it. A thousand word essay. I'm a slow reader. Yeah. I would just be like, what is this person doing? This is the new thing.

This is the new thing. People are saying, why don't you just, rather than us waste time going on three dates to find out we're not compatible, why don't you just read this thing about me? I get it. I do get it. And send me yours so I can read yours. You send me yours and I'll send you mine and then I'll proof. I do get it. Send me yours so I can read yours. You send me yours and I'll send you mine and then I'll proofread

yours and send it back. Yeah. Mine would read, hi, I'm Clint. I'm in my mid-thirties. I've got a wife and two children and not looking for anything serious. Actually not looking for anything, to be honest. I have a wife and two children. You're getting nervous now.

So you're saying you don't want to write a date me doc? No, I don't think so. Really? I do get the point of it if you're at that point where you're like, oh, I'm so sick of going on these first dates and then just figuring out that we're not compatible. Like just send me your date me doc and I can have a read and see, you know. But you could have a read of someone's date me doc

and meet them in person and the same thing happens. Yeah, I could get into it. I'd read someone's date me doc, but call me superficial, I would need a photo attached. The words alone will not be enough. I would be checking. I don't care how descriptive your writing is. Yeah, I mean, fair enough.

I'd be checking for plagiarism, running it through. Get ChatGPT to write your date me doc. Bree and Clint. Time to head to LA for the latest. From iHeartRadio, this is the latest live from LA with Dean McCarthy.

Dean, this fight that Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg have been talking about is happening and they've discussed where you're going to be able to watch it. This is so dumb. So dumb. Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg, it is as ridiculous as it sounds, are going to have this fight and they're going to stream it on X,

formerly known as Twitter, according to Elon Musk. But, of course, Mark Zuckerberg wants to stream it on Threads. The billionaires want to have a boxing match, right? This is what happens when you've got so much money and you've bought everything there is to buy and you've literally been to every country there is to visit. You decide to become a boxer and you box another billionaire. And apparently there'll be process going towards charity.

I don't know if they'll ever actually go through with it because someone's going to win and someone's not going to win and then the loser's going to feel like a loser with $200 billion. But still, the way it's streamed, apparently it's going to stream on, yeah, they both are fighting to have it stream on their own Twitter thread. I wonder where it will be streamed because, I mean, technically the reason why this fight is going ahead is because Elon Musk bought Twitter and then Mark Zuckerberg came out with

threads. Isn't that right? Yeah, that's where the beef stems from. So wouldn't it be funny if TikTok picked it up and they're going to stream it? But, I mean, it doesn't make sense if Elon Musk is like, it can only be streamed on X because Mark Zuckerberg's not going to let that fly. No, they'll end up both streaming it. But I would actually pay.

Would I pay to see this fight? Would you pay? I don't know. I don't pay for any fights, so probably not, to be honest. The whole thing is just the most bizarre sort of small D energy thing I've ever heard. Well, there's only one thing that could make this more pathetic, if they streamed it on LinkedIn. And you know what?

It's not beyond the realms of possibility that that could happen. That's where it should be streamed. Yeah. Well, there you go. One thing is clear, you will be able to watch this fight for free. So I will watch it. You're right, I wouldn't pay for it. I will watch it.

I will watch it, yeah. It'll be a ratings bonanza. It'll be a right laugh. That's the latest out of Hollywood with Dean McCarthy. Brian Clint. Please turn the head around. ZM Brian Clint. Stop turning my mic on.

I have to turn your mic on. It's the end of the song. But at least tell me. That's Zach Bryan on ZM Brian Clint. I hope we get a new one from him soon. Me too. Come on, Zach Bryan. Come on, Zach Bryan.

Pull finger. Yeah, pull. Come on, Zach Bryan. Come on, Zach Bryan. Pull your finger. Yeah, pull your finger out, Zach. There's a story due on the rounds today, which is a bit of a warning for Gen Zers, I think. Okay. So millennial Leah Beth, oh, she's got two first names, Leah Beth has posted a video on TikTok

talking about how she regrets all of her tattoos. All of her tattoos? All of them. Okay. And she, look, I will say she's quite heavily tattooed. I'm going to say she's got a full arm sleeve. She's got a stomach piece. Yep.

And then a full leg. Leg. What's a leg sleeve called? Yeah, we were trying to figure this out today. A full leg. Leg. What's a leg sleeve called? Yeah, we were trying to figure this out today. A leg leg. Because an arm tattoo is called a sleeve. An arm sleeve. Because your shirt has a sleeve.

Yeah. But what's a leg one called? Because your pants have legs. A leg pant. So it's a leg leg. A leg pant. No. Pant leg.

A pant leg? A pant leg. Pant leg tattoo. Anyway, it doesn't really matter. She's got a leg sleeve. She's got a leg sleeve. And listen to her talking about her decision making about getting these tattoos.

You know when you were a teenager and you were like, this is not a phase, Mom, this is the real me. It was a phase. I am a considerably heavily tattooed woman. There really is something to be said about brain development and decision making. Can I tell you something just switched in my little head about one month before my 25th birthday. Like I woke up one day and I was like, what have I done? Like I am cringing the F out about the majority of my tattoos.

She has verbalised the exact reason why I never got any tattoos. She's saying it should be the age of 25 before you're allowed to get tattoos. I reckon later for boys because isn't there some science that boys' frontal lobe develops later than women's? I don't know. That's why boys do dumb shit for longer? I just think you shouldn't be getting tattoos when you're 16, 17. Because you're not going to like that when you're older. I'm not saying you shouldn't get tattoos at all, but...

And I mean, it's a living record of you from that time of life. But if you go hundy on them... Yeah, that's what people tell themselves. Yeah, yeah. But if you go hard out, like if you tattoo 70% of your body by the age of 23, you've still got 70% of your life to live. Yeah, I feel like certain parts of your body as well, there should be an older age limit before you can get them tattooed there.

So like neck, you have to be at least 35. Can we cross live to our heavily tattooed Gin Z producer, Ella, and the both. Hi, Ella. My mum's literally messaging me right now. Saying, told you so? Yep. Do you regret any of your tattoos yet or are you still too young?

I just think they're silly. Like, whatever. You have seven tattoos? Eight. Eight. Can I just say, Ella's not heavily tattooed, though. She's got sporadic, a tattoo, a little tattoo here, a little tattoo there.

That's true. The trend, I guess, nowadays is like minimalistic tattoos. So they're smaller and dainty. Whatever you need to tell yourself. Is that the trend, is it? Whatever you need to tell your mum. Whatever you need to tell your mum to be invited to Christmas. Like if Ella turns up

with an arm sleeve, I'll be very shocked. Do you want more tattoos? My mum's literally listening. Uh, no. One day you came to the studio and I said to you, have you got three new tattoos? And you're like, yeah, but one I got touched up and some stuff added to it and the other two just kind of happened.

One of them was on sale. Yeah, it was cheap. I did get a third nipple by accident in the tattoo. Yeah, that was a horrible tattoo. Yeah, that's not good. It looks so realistic. Thank you. It's hard to know which one is real. Anyway, this woman

said that she's now undergoing the lengthy and painful process of tattoo laser tattoo removal that's going to cost her over $5,000. I feel like people will undersell how painful and hard and expensive tattoo removal is. They're like, oh, yeah, if I don't like it,

I'll just get it removed. Will you? Doesn't it take like 12 sessions? Something like that. And it literally is burning your skin. They have to burn the ink out from under your skin. And I don't think they've perfected that technology yet. Like it actually doesn't work perfectly.

We need to just stipulate, we're not anti-tattoo on this one. No, I've got tattoos. Bree's got tattoos. I don't want a tattoo, but I'm not anti-tattoos. I'm not anti-tattoos either. No. I quite like and think tattoos suit people. Some people. But I

also think that someone told me once, because I remember when I was young, I was like, I really want to get this tattoo. And they were like, how long have you wanted to get that for? And I was like, oh, about three months. And they were like, unless you've wanted it for over 18 months to two years, you shouldn't be getting

it now. I knew somebody who had the tattoo they wanted drawn out on a piece of paper and they put it up on the wall in their room and they said, I'm going to look at this tattoo for 12 months and if I still like it in 12 months time, I'll get it. And they didn't. Because after 12 months, it's like, eh. It's all right. It's all right.

I want to ask people this afternoon, let's be honest with each other. Oh, 800 dial ZM. Are you someone that regrets your tattoos? Yeah. Maybe you don't regret all of them. Maybe there's certain ones that you regret. Like maybe you've got a big neck tattoo. I think neck tattoos, hand tattoos, I'd just be like,

you really need to think about those ones. Yeah. Other ones that you can cover up. You can regret any tattoo though. What about that guy who got All Blacks Rugby World Cup Champions 2019 tattoos? What an idiot. What an idiot. Like, at least just wait, for God's sake.

Phones are lighting up. We'd love to get your calls on, too. 0800 dials at him. Do you regret any of your tattoos? What are they of? Why do you regret them? We'd love to hear about it. Bree and Clint.

Do you regret your tattoos? Maybe not all of them, maybe some of them. I don't know. It's okay to regret your tattoos. It is. I think it's a common thing. Not everyone regrets their tattoos, obviously, but... It doesn't make the tattoo a mistake either.

It just means you've lived a life, you know? It just means like something you liked at 18 and wanted to get when you were 18 might not necessarily be the thing you want on your body at 35, you know? This text message. I regret a tattoo of a cute cat face, which I later learned is from an anime series, but I don't even like anime. So I have a character from a show that I have never watched nor ever will tattooed on my body.

Why? Why? Why? What made you land on that? They must have just seen this cat and they go, that's a funny looking cat. Someone else said, my mate and I were bored one day, so we went and got tattoos on our arses. I got an ice cream truck and he got a sticker that was on his laptop.

Doesn't say if they regret them. What, they happen to just go into the pub when you're bored? Oh, bro, I'm so bored. Should we go and get permanent ink tattooed onto our arse cheeks? Yeah, that sounds like a bit of fun. Someone else said, I very nearly got Yeezy tattooed on my chest when I was at uni. Quite glad I didn't, to be honest.

Yeah, I think probably a good thing. Yeah, well done. Rebecca's here. Hi, Rebecca. Hi, Bec. Hi. Do you regret any tattoos, Bec? Yeah, me and my friend both really regret a tattoo. Okay, what is it of? What tattoos? Well, I was 18 and I thought I found

the love of my life. Oh, no. Three years. We broke up in March and I got an if tattoo on my life. Oh, no. For three years, we broke up in March and I got an if tattooed on my wrist. No! Rebecca, wait, did you get it after you broke up? No, while we were together. Oh, God, okay. What is the tattoo of? An X. An if. So, if for Sam.

His initial. Oh. It could be if for anything. Yeah. It could be if for sassy. You should just, yeah, turn it into the word sassy. That makes it better. I'm quite lucky my cat's name's Bot. Yeah, it's a tattoo for your cat. As long as you don't break up with your cat, you're good.

Yeah, what about when the cat dies? Okay, okay. She's been through enough this year. I'm just saying. Someone texted her and said, I got a Playboy bunny tattoo on my... Wait, it gets better. Wait, it gets better. Wait, it gets better.

Just listen to the rest of it. I got a Playboy bunny tattoo on my pelvic bone when I was 16. Well done. Definitely regret that one. I'm currently 31. But I bet you looked great on the cover of FHM magazine. Why did we all like the Playboy bunny sign so much? It was huge.

It was huge. I had it on my school books. I used to draw it. I had no idea really what it meant. There was a Playboy merchandise store in Sylvia Park. It just sold Playboy clothing. That's how big that Playboy brand was for them. It was huge.

I remember my sister had the car covers. Yes. She had the full car covers and the floor mats and also the steering wheel. Yeah, you were dumb not to get the tattoo. We were 100%. If you're thinking, we were definitely country bogans. Still are. Tony's here.

You got a tattoo that you regret, Tony? G'day, guys. How you doing? Good, thanks, Tony. What do you regret, Tony? Yeah, so the grand old age of 17, I decided to get a barcode on my lower back that said Made in England underneath.

Not a tramp stamp, Tony. Yeah. Oh, Tony! You got a barcode tramp stamp, Tony. Yeah, it was a 17-year-old lad's holiday to Ibiza. Like you're a dark angel, like you're Jessica Alba in Dark Angel, except it's down on your tailbone.

Yep, right down in the middle there. Have you still got it? But yeah, it took a while for me to get rid of that one. Oh, you have gotten rid of it. I've heard that tramp stamps are so hard and painful to get rid of. Is that right, Tony? Yeah, she's a pretty horrific build, Lasering. I wouldn't recommend Tony? Yeah, she's pretty horrific, the old laser ring.

I wouldn't recommend it. Yeah. I felt compelled to call today. Yeah. Also, the accent is a dead giveaway that you were made in England. You didn't need a tattoo to confirm it, you know? Thanks, Tony. Courtney's here.

Hi, Courtney. Hi, Court. Hello. Tell us, Courtney. It already sounds like you've got regret in your voice. What are the tattoos that you regret? Tattoo. I've got a sugar skull on my foot.

Okay, sweet. If you'd like to call it that. A sugar skull. Can you explain to us? The Mexican art. Yeah, the Mexican sugar skull. Oh, yeah, right, okay. It doesn't portray one very well.

Okay. But they tried. Okay, yeah, right, okay. It doesn't portray one very well. Okay. But they tried. Okay, so it's not, are you saying it's not the best tattoo? It's not good at all. What happened was, what happened was, me and my dad,

we got into this argument. I was 16 years old and I was like, what's more badass than a skull tattoo? So I went and got that and yeah, he's nowhere near

as pissed off as I am. I have much more regret. Courtney has sent me a picture of it on Instagram. She sent it to my Instagram. I can't even tell that that's a skull, Courtney.

Yeah, you can probably see Oh, if you turn it upside down, you can... Oh, Courtney, it looks terrible, my friend. Oh, thank you. see my... Oh, if you turn it upside down, you can... I don't know if I should say that. Oh, Courtney, it looks terrible, my friend.

Oh, thank you. Sorry. I mean, it looks like the skull's got braces for one. There you go. Okay. A lot of advice there. I love this, Diggs. My husband, now ex-husband,

definitely regretted getting my face tattooed on his arm. I'm a dragon now. Wow. Does she mean he got her face... his arm. I'm a dragon now. Wow. Does she mean he got her face? He changed her face into a dragon. I mean. I have a Chinese S tattooed on my wrist from when I bought a tattoo gun

because I'm a savage. S for savage. I'm a savage. Tattooed myself badly. Are you a Chinese savage? Bree and Clint. Is it in Bree and Clint? Luke Combs, Fast Car, he's in Auckland.

He's in New Zealand right now. He plays in Auckland tomorrow. I want to go. I want to go to the Luke Combs show. Do you know how hard it is to get a Luke Combs ticket? Like, you can't. You're so late to the bloody bandwagon. No, I know. This is the issue.

I'm so late. I'm so late. You're never going to get one. But that's already sold out. I never had a chance. No. Yeah, it's because all the Luke Combs fans were gatekeeping Luke Combs for too long. Other than that rendition of

Tracy Chapman's Fast Car, what's your other favourite Luke Combs songs? Beer Never Cheated On Me, or whatever it's called. Beer Never, Beer Don't Look At Me, Stupid. Give us a few bars of it. I never had a beer that I didn't love I want to go to the Luke Combs show

What if I catch the vibe What if I deep down into my Luke Combs show Anyway if anyone listening right now would like to Take somebody to the Luke Combs show And introduce them to the world of Luke Combs I'm available There you go Just put it out there to the universe

I'm available He'll wear his best R.M. Williams shoes I'm available. There you go. That's all I'll say. Just put it out there to the universe. I'm available. He'll wear his best R.M. Williams shoes. Correct. That's the main reason I want to go. It's our classical music game from country music to this. Claudia finds ZM songs done in classical style and it's our job, Brie, to try and figure out what those are. I like this game.

I hope there's some Luke Combs in there. I'm a big fan. I was honestly so close to having it all country music, and then I did none. I wonder who would have won that. Me. Me, probably. Me.

Yeah, the biggest Luke Combs fans in the room. Or should I say, should I say, me-ha? Oh, my God. Please get over the game, Claudia. It's getting worse. Like you said, I've taken pop music, which you would have heard on ZDM. Stop. Stop doing that.

He's tipping his hat. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. I didn't think you could get the ick as bad as I've got it right now, but watching Clint do fake line dancing has literally, I think, oh, it's thrown me into menopause. I've just gone hurtling headfirst into early onset menopause. Settle down, little lady.

Oh, my God. All right, what's this classical song? Oh. Clint, Clint, Clint. Taylor Swift, Antihero. Yeah, you got there eventually. I was hot on your heels. Clint, Clint, Taylor Swift, Antihero.

You were 16, Bailey, in 2013. Well, could be. And back on your 16th birthday, this was number one. It's Britney Spears and Will.i.am, Scream and Shout. I mean, you weren't far off. No. Bring the action. Such a banger.

This is the one where she has a British accent randomly. Do you like that song, Bailey? It's not bad. I could have a worse one. I love that answer. I mean, it's not bad. I think it's quite a good song. I like it.

Yeah. I think it's... I think it slaps not bad. I think it's quite a good song. I like it. Yeah. I think it's... I think it slaps, actually. I think it slaps, too. Let's do one more for Elizabeth. Kia ora, Elizabeth. Hi, Elizabeth. Kia ora.

How are you? Good, mate. You done work for the day, Elizabeth? Yes, I'm on my way home. Oh, excellent. Well, let's get you there. What's your birthday? The 11th of December, 1998.

All right. That means you were 16 in 2014. And Elizabeth, on your 16th birthday, this was number one. Tell me where the freaks at. Speaking of songs that slap, it's Timmy Trumpet and Savage. Pretty good. Pretty good. Pretty good. Pretty good.

My Jump Jam kids will love it. Is this a Jump Jam song now? Yeah, it's a Jump Jam song now. Oh. God, the kids would literally have to have a lie down after that one. And hyperventilate. Get them on the fruit roll-ups before they do that. Bloody hell.

Oh, good one. What do you think? I don't know. I like them all today. I like them all. I'm going to vote for the Will.i.am Britney Spears track. I'm going Savage. Timmy Trumpet?

Freaks. Okay. I think so, but I'm happy with any of those. Let's go split vote. Claudia today. What's the winner of Birthday Banger, Claudia? You can't go past Timmy Trumpet. I really like that song. Wait, you're going with me? Yeah, I'm going happy with any of those. Let's go split vote. Claudia today. What's the winner of Birthday Banger? Claudia? You can't go past Timmy Trump, but I really like that song. Wait, you're going with me?

Yeah, I'm going with Bree. For the first time, maybe all year. Wow. She wants something from you. Yeah, well. She needs you to do a job. Can we talk after the show? Yeah, we can talk after the show.

Hey, Elizabeth, you're the winner of Birthday Banger. Awesome. Thanks so much, guys. You're welcome. Bree and Clint. Zed and Bree and Clint, the winner of Birthday Banger today is Timmy Trumpet and Savage from 2014. That's for Elizabeth. Absolute stone cold banger today is Timmy Trumpet and Savage from 2014. That's for Elizabeth. Absolute stone cold banger.

Obviously we've seen Savage perform it live and it's unreal. Have you ever seen Timmy Trumpet? Nah. I remember back in the day I saw Timmy Trumpet. Savage wasn't there but he... Does he do this song without Savage? I think so.

I think they play the backing track of Savage. Yeah. But Timmy Trumpet pulls out the trumpet. Yeah. And he's so sweaty because we were at this like uni party. Yeah. And he's so sweaty. So when he's like playing the trumpet live,

it's just like sweat and spit just going everywhere. Wouldn't fly in these day and ages. Post COVID. No, not at all. Hey, I want to talk about this story I saw. And it's not the headline that they wrote for this story. So there's this TikTok doing the rounds and it's of this woman. And she's like, I got the ick from this guy because he didn't pay for my meal on the fourth date.

Oh, okay. Rah, rah, rah. This is more about her than him, but okay. I don't want to talk about that. I want to talk about what they actually did on their fourth date. Okay. Before they went and got food is what got my attention. Right.

So here's just the clip of the woman talking about what she suggested they do on their fourth date so this is the fourth time they're meeting yeah and uh what they ended up doing so i have just recently started dating again it's not for the week let me tell you that i've been on a few dates with one guy and today's probably like the fourth time that we're kind of hanging out. Why don't we go get some massages? And he was down for that. And we get our massages, we pay for ourselves, totally fine. Then we go and decide to get some sushi

for lunch. What? A massage and some sushi? Um, is anyone else thinking that's weird or is it just me? Uh, it's a weird date to me. They've met each other three times and then she says, should we go get a couple's massage?

Yeah. You can't talk in a couple's, well, you can, but. You don't want to. It's very, is it the intimacy of it that makes it weird on the fourth date? I don't know what it is. I, I, it's just strange to me. If someone suggested, let's put yourself in his shoes.

If someone suggested me, say I'd been on three dates with the person and they messaged me and say, hey, do you want to meet up and go get a couple's massage? I would run for the hills. I've had a couple's massage before and there's that awkward bit

before you get into the bed where you're in the corner of the room and you have to undress yourself. You have to roll your pants up and put them on the little chair. They'd be in that room together. They're in the room with you and you're only on the fourth date. Unless you're ripping each other's clothes off, it's just a bit like... Yeah, nah. I just think it's strange.

But where's the line? Would you go to the hot pools with somebody on a fourth date? Like, on some hot pools in Queenstown? I feel like that'd be a pretty good fourth date. I'll be honest. I don't want to be in a bathing suit on a fourth date. Okay. Just not for me.

Have you guys not seen each other naked on the fourth date by yet then? Probably in the dark. Like, I don't want to get my kit off and go to the hot pools. Maybe down the track when I'm a bit more comfortable. We talked about this before the show and producer Ella said that you had a strange early date in your relationship, right? Yeah, just

a little bit. I was like maybe the second, literally the second date and I was like, cool, I'll just look good. So I put on a skirt and docks and a crop top and then he takes me out to the middle of nowhere and we go on a hike. A hike? Well, yeah, a big walk to a dam.

And there was a picnic and it was lovely. That's not that weird. It's quite sweet. But did he tell you to prepare for a hike? No. No, yeah, yeah. You've got to tell someone. You can't spring a hike on someone.

Especially if it's a second date. Yeah. Because you're dressed for a date. Exactly. I was like, okay. You're not going to wear your Eddie. Especially if it's a second date. Yeah. Because you're dressed for a date. Exactly. I was like, okay. You're not going to wear your Eddie Das Ultra Boosts on a normal date, but you would have worn them on that one. Yeah.

Wouldn't you? That's strange. I thought we could ask people this afternoon on 0800DIALSATM, like in the early stages we're talking, like early dating stages, did someone take you on a weird date? Like, and I mean the activity or the thing you went and did. Yeah, not the company. Not the company.

The company might have been weird too. Or maybe it was you that took someone. Like, what are we thinking is a weird date to take someone on? We have talked about this before and we heard from somebody who was taken to a cemetery. That's weird. Remember? Yeah.

It was like a first date and they were like, yeah, we're going to go and visit my dead boyfriend. Is a naked painting class a weird like early date? Nah, I feel like it's good. I feel like if there's alcohol involved. Yes. If it's a sip and paint situation, what are those called? Yeah. Sip and stroke. Sip? Yeah. Sip and stroke.

Sip and stroke. Sip and dip. Sip and smell. No, that's not. Scratch and sniff. That was something else. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know what's weird.

If it was weird to you, it was weird and we want to hear about it. Would you think it was weird if someone said for our first date, let's go do some axe throwing? No. That's quite like, like a... It's an icebreaker. Interactive date, hey. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I don't mind that for a first date. Yeah. Maybe a second date. I'd expect the woman I'm dating to be wearing a plaid shirt and... And Timberland. And Timberland boots, yeah. And cut-off denim jeans. But you share your weird date with us.

We'll decide whether it was weird with you. 0800 dial ZM. You can text it to 9696. Let's put the list together. Bree and Clint. We said, what was a weird early date that you went on? Someone said, I got taken to Spookers, which is like a haunted house in south of Auckland.

And it says, I got taken to Spookers on a first date a few years ago. He used me as a human shield and screamed louder than I did. There was no second date. That's so good. Did you just sn and screamed louder than I did. There was no second date. That's so good. Did you just snort? Yeah, I did. Snorters.

I like this one too. I was asked for a second date to go to a wedding. Turned up and it was her sister's wedding. Met the entire family and didn't even know her surname or any facts. Super awkward. That is so awkward. Especially for the sister whose wedding it is. She's like, why are you bringing Rando to my wedding?

Why am I paying for his dinner? Why is he in all my wedding photos? Exactly. Weird. All right, now we'll do the bride's family and that guy. What's your name again? I don't know. What are any of your names?

Georgia's here. Hi, Georgia. Hi, Georgia. Hi. Hi. Tell us, Georgia, did someone take you on a strange first date? It was actually my mum. Okay.

So it was her first date and he wanted to take her to an escape room. Oh, right. Okay. So this is recent. Is your mum on the dating scene? Not anymore. This was a Oh, right. Okay. So this is recent. Is your mum on the dating scene? Not anymore. This was a few years ago. Okay.

And so first date, escape room. She didn't do it. Mum felt too uncomfortable. She didn't go. They went on a date, but not to the escape room. Hey, good on your mum

for saying, hey, that's a shit date. I want to do something else. Yeah, she was like, what if you're an ex-murderer? I was like, no, thank you. I don't want to be in a locked room with you. You better be good at the escape rooms then. Yeah.

There's a bit of jeopardy in it. You see what you're like under pressure. There's a bit of pressure. Yeah, literally. I do see what he was kind of trying to do. Like, I do kind of see he was like, you know, it'd be good for us, because in the skate rooms we have to work together and we have to figure stuff out.

Figure it out, but for Thursday, no. Fifth or sixth day. I agree, yeah. Just have a dinner. Just have a dinner, bro. Just have a dinner. Yeah, exactly. You don't have to come up with a wacky, zany idea.

This is the thing that Instagram and TikTok has done, though. It's made everybody who's planning a date think they have to reinvent the wheel. You don't. Like, lunch sounds lovely. Yeah, just do something normal. Some drinks? Crocheting class. Sounds great.

Crocheting class? I'd love that. Okay. Anonymous is here. Hi, Anonymous. Hi, Anonymous. Hi. You got taken to a really weird thing on here. Hi, Anonymous. Hi, Anonymous. Hi. You got taken to a really

weird thing on an early date, Anonymous. Yeah, I did. I actually went to a car wash for my first date. A car wash? Wait, I'm assuming you didn't organise the car wash date. No, I did not. Okay. What?

What? I don't understand. So what happened on this date? Not much, really. We just kind of went to the car wash and then he dropped me home. And that's it? That was the date? Yes, but there was also something else. I was wearing high heels during the date.

Oh, because you thought it was like a, you know, fancy date. Very strong. But halfway through the car wash, I find out he's taking pictures of my feet. Oh, no. Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah. Oh, no. Oh, Anonymous, that sounds like a horror date. Yeah, it was.

Was it at least yours? I'm so glad that I don't have to date. Anonymous, was it at least your car that got the clean? So you got something out of it? No. It wasn't. It was his car. Oh, no.

Okay. Thank you, Anonymous. Let's go to another Anonymous call. Hi, Anonymous. Hi, Anonymous. Hi. How are you going? Good, thanks.

Was it you that got taken on a weird date, Anonymous? Yes, it was. To be fair, the guy was really, really nice, and I felt guilty because he was just so nice. But I'll paint a picture. So I'm a city girl. I always wear, like, really boozy clothes when I go on a date because I'm like, I've got to look good.

Okay. And he took me out into the middle of nowhere on a farm, and he wanted to take me beekeeping. And I was like, oh, no, because I am terrified of getting stung by a bee. They hurt. And I was like, what if he didn't realise that I was allergic? Yeah, that's risky.

It's a bold first date. I know. And then he was going all out. He, like, had his beekeeping outfit there. So I was like, okay, cool. My make-up and hair is going to get ruined. He hands you the thing with the smoker, like you're

in charge of the smoker. He's like do you want to eat some honey off my finger? Literally and he was like, so I put the thing on and it like takes half the makeup off my face and then I have to like step into the suit and he's like the bees are in the paddock over there. I was like cool, how are we getting there? He's like,

well, I'm tall enough to walk over this fence but you'll have to get on your hands and knees and go under the fence. No, no. And then, like, I'm there and he's like, they could sting you and I was like, but I've got the suit on. He's like, yeah, but

they might sting you. I was like, oh my god. It was just anxiety central. Was there a second date? Yes, there was, but it just... Fizzled out. Yeah. It was more of a friendship.

Yeah. There was no spark there. No. No. I was going to say... He's married to the bees. He actually, he was, like I said, he was the nicest guy. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Did he take you quad biking for the second date? Because that's pretty fun. That'd be fun. No, it was when his friend said to me that his family owns a big farm and that I'd be a farmer's wife. I was like, oh. You're just not compatible. You're just not compatible.

Yeah, it just sounds like. It's good to figure that out early before you get stung too many times. But again, he was the nicest guy. He's lovely. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, Nonimus, I can tell you feel bad. It sounds like you just weren't right for each other. I think beekeeping is great.

And if you have a passion. Not for an early date. If you have a passion, it's fun to share that with somebody new. But discuss it, like I said, discuss it over dinner. Not for like a first. Do you have any interest in bees? And they go, no, I'm highly allergic.

And you go, cool, great, I will take that one off the list. I've been to a beekeeping class, like day, and it is quite fun, but if someone took me on a first date and I got stung by a bee. I had to take my new boyfriend to the after hours vet after the dog I was sitting ate an entire

block of chocolate. Nothing like a bit of, you know, an emergency to bring you guys closer together. Yeah, cute. Brian Clint, next on the show. This might sound grim, but it's meant to be inspiring, okay? There's a list of skills that you should develop now.

A particular set of skills? A particular set of skills that you should develop now while you're young if you want to have a good quality of life when you're older what if it's too late what if i'm too old you're not too old i'm an old dog can't learn new tricks you're going to learn something okay okay uh otherwise otherwise i'm doomed otherwise you're doomed we'll put you in a home early i saw this list of things that you should pick up and learn while you're young if you want to have a good quality of life when you're older. Playing guitar.

Yes. Is that one of them? Yeah, it is actually. Stop it! Yeah, you've nailed it right on the head straight away. Oh my God, that was a complete guess. These are things that will not improve, but they will maintain what's called cognitive function.

Keeps your brain juices flowing so that when you get older, things don't slow down and you lower your risk of developing things like dementia. So it's brain exercise. Yeah, pretty much. I'm interested in this because you said off air because there's four skills. Actually five.

Five skills. And producer Claude said, do we as a group of four have all five skills as a group? And you said, no. Well, maybe. Let's find out together. Let's find out together. So if anybody, this includes our producers, Ella and Claudia, if anyone has that skill,

please say me. I've got it. Okay. Because you can teach the rest of us the skill. And together we might all have these things. I'm pretty sure there's some things you can't teach me. Like playing a guitar, I just don't have it. Okay, the first one

is easy. It's playing chess. Okay? Okay. Can anybody here play chess? Yeah, I can play chess. I can play chess. Not well, but I know how to play. Ella, you don't know how to play chess? No clue. Oh my god, watch the Queen's Gambit. I have! Yeah. And you didn't get into chess? No, I didn't get it. Oh, my God. Watch the Queen's Gambit. I have. Yeah. And you didn't get into chess?

No, I didn't get it. Chess is great. Probably because you don't play. Chess is great for your brain function. And you don't play chess alone. It's great for socialising. You can have a chess partner. Double whammy.

Yeah. You can go sit at a cafe and play chess against somebody. So chess. Okay, we've got that one. Take that one off the list. Next one. Card games or learning a language. I feel like that's a big jump.

That is very different. From card games to learning a language. I'd much rather the card games. Okay. Games like bridge and poker. What about canasta? It needs to be a card game that involves doing calculations in your head. Canasta.

Canasta. Canasta is one of those games. Last card might be a bit simplistic. I'll teach you guys Canasta. What about Go Fish? No. No. Ligretto?

I don't know. Everyone's skimming over the learn a language one. That's because it's so hard. I know, but imagine what it would do for your brain. Yeah, it would be cool. Oh, yeah, but I feel like it would just scramble my brain. Monopoly deal counts, so we're good on that one. Yes.

Perfect. Third thing to learn to do while you're young if you want to maintain good quality of life when you're older, dancing. Ooh, I'm not good at choreography. Get those hips moving. I get angry if I have to do it. It says, it's well known that physical activity

is associated with lower risk of dementia because, I didn't realise this was how it does it, it keeps the many tiny blood vessels in your brain healthy. The blood pumps around your body and it keeps your brain blood vessels healthy. Is a freestyle dance counted? Yes. Oh good.

Because it's cardiovascular. I'm good to go then. I'm going to bust a move. Okay, can anyone hear dance? Does anyone hear a dancer? No. We don't have it. I think I'm a bit bust a move. Okay, can anyone hear dance? Does anyone hear a dancer? No. Nah, we don't have it. I think I'm a bit of a dancer. You do think that. I think I can bust a few moves.

I've got a bit of rhythm. Like that? Yeah, hit me with your rhythm stick. We'll put that on the to-do list. You said before, play guitar, play an instrument. Huge for your brain. Oh, just any instrument. There was a study done where they tracked twins.

One who played an instrument and one who didn't. And they followed them throughout their life. The twin that played the instrument was 64% less likely to develop dementia or cognitive impairment than the twin that did it.

That's massive. Claudia, aren't you glad now that you learn how to play the maracas? Oh, absolutely. It's my best skill. Claudia has a great set of maracas. Give us a bit of maracas now. Last one is bodybuilding. Get into bodybuilding.

Bodybuilding. Strength training in the gym is the most powerful way of preserving your cognitive facilities. The most powerful. More so than swimming or running, you should lift weights. That's the way to keep your brain functioning all the life. Really? When am I going to have time for all these things?

I know, right? Body building, learn to play guitar, learn an instrument. Oh, you've missed one on the list. It says here another great thing you can do is play lots of PlayStation. Oh, I'm good to go, baby. I'm good to go. Let's go drops tonight. And eat Uber Eats off your chest.
