I won.

Maddie, what's the score update for the year? The ladies are on 101 points and the tradies are on 93. And I swear every time I come in here, the ladies are just ahead.

Have the tradies been ahead at all this year? Nah, the ladies have been ahead for a lot of the year. But the tradies last week had quite a good week. And they did claw their way back a little bit. But then kind of lost it in the end. But let's see what they can do today. Let's talk to our tradie first. He's from Napier.

And she was up in arms, Maddie McLean, because she didn't get a thank you. She didn't get a card. She didn't even get a pat on the back. She got nothing. Take a listen. Six years, I quit. And I did not get one single thank you or goodbye or like no one gave a i was literally just existing at my job but to be there for six years bro six years and nobody

nobody could care less like the manager didn't say anything nobody said no thank you no goodbye nothing I did that that's a girl going through something yeah I mean I kind of get where she's coming from like six years is a decent amount of time not even one of those oversized wish you well cards

just a card you know or a crappy bunch of flowers from you know probably a news agency or something come on a box of favorites at least box of cabri favorites come on guys bit rough completely when you put in the when when you put in the work like that you expect just a little something, a little bit of acknowledgement. Yeah, and I think, you know, and this is just a message to, I think, businesses as well. People will be like, oh, well, why are we getting them a present?

They're leaving. It sends a message to everyone else that's working there. That you care. That you care about what the environment is like. I've been at workplaces before where I've seen them not do very much and it's created this feeling in the office where they're like, wow, they really don't care about us. Do you think the bosses have a worry that they're going to have

like an influx of people quitting because they're like, oh, I want the flowers. I want the oversized car. Oh, I want the gift voucher to Lululemon. You know? I don't know. I just think it doesn't take much to organise something. My brother was at a company for, I want to say, seven years.

Wow, long time. Two different countries. So worked in two different countries at the same companies. Yeah. So transferred and when he finally decided to leave for a really amazing job, exciting offer. It wasn't a bad blood kind of thing. Just a really exciting fresh. Just time for him to go.

Good opportunity. He got a mug. No! A mug. What was on the mug? Yeah, I think it was a company mug. No, it wasn't! A mug. Seven years. You're kidding.

Obviously, they were dirty about him leaving. Clearly. A company mug. Yeah. Oh, it would have been ropeable. Either that or they panicked. Because I get it, right? Like, busy lives and then you go,

oh shit, someone's leaving. I've got to get them something. What have we got? What can we get them? Then you give nothing. Nothing's better than the mug. Yeah, nothing is better than a company mug that you could have stolen from the stationary cupboard. I thought we could put it out there this afternoon.

And look, I don't just want negative stories. I think we open it up across the board. Did you get something amazing as your leaving gift? And I want to know how long you were at that workplace. Or did you get something real stink? Did you get jackal? Jackal. And that can be included in that could be like, you know,

maybe they threw you an amazing leaving party or maybe they threw you the most sad afternoon tea you've ever seen for 11 years of service. One packet of biscuits for 30 people in the team. And only one. Only one. There's only enough for one. 0800 dials at M or you text us on 9696.

How long did you work somewhere? And did you get an amazing send-off or a pretty crappy one? We're talking about the things you got after a long time working at a place. Maybe it was good, maybe it was a bit stink. Some people have had some amazing leaving presents, others have had absolutely squat. Absolutely nothing. What about this one? Tex said, I worked for a company for 11 years and all I got was an email on the Wednesday from the CEO saying,

I hear Friday's your last day. All the best. I mean, why even bother? Why even bother? But then, I mean, there's some really nice ones, like you said, Maddie, like this one. I worked for Farrow Fresh for only six months. They gave me a beautiful hamper and a chopping board,

a massive bunch of flowers, and a huge card signed by everyone. The hamper itself would have been worth $300. Wow, that is nice. Jeez. And how long were they there for? Six months. Six months? Damn.

What did you get there for six years? I don't know. You get the whole shop. Should we go to the phone? Yes. And check in. Shauna's here with us this afternoon. Hi, Shauna.

Hi, Shauna. Thanks. Hello. Tell us, Shauna, how long did you work at the place? Just five, 14 years collectively. Wow. That is a long time. Yeah.

And did they get you something good or was it a bit stink buzz? No, both times were pretty good. So I resigned from this company twice for different career options. And the first time I got all my favorite chocolates, a card signed by all the team and all that, and a Pandora charm that represented the company I worked for and the time of the year that I was leaving. And I also got, somebody had watched my Snapchat story

of when I was in Toy World one day. I'm quite a fan of the variations of Monopoly. And I put up a Snapchat story of the Friends edition of Monopoly. So they actually tried to source that for me and managed to get it in time for my departure. Wow. You're kidding. So not only did they get you a bunch of gifts, they were real thoughtful gifts as well. Oh, that's so nice.

And then the second time, which was only a year ago, one of the team members, her mum is quite the baker and really quite crafty. So they actually baked the cake in the same shape of the classic car that I had not long purchased prior to leaving. Oh my God. And personalised the plate with my name and it was, as you recall, and I was so blown away with like the quality of this cake build that I accidentally, anybody cut into it and

I took, I refused anybody to touch it. So I brought the cake home and I've put it in a clippet container, and I've frozen it. Wow. And my friend's mum was quite disappointed to hear that. She's like, I made it to be eaten. You're not freezing it. Sean is like, this is my leaving party.

You all back off. Things were calling through, mate. Someone else texted in, and they said, a little bit different, but when I got married, I did not get a gift from work. Then I came back from my honeymoon and a colleague of mine was also getting married. We started around the same time. There was a collection for her wedding present that went around work. Oh, that's a bit stink.

That is ruthless. A bit ruthless. Let's talk to Tyra on the phones. G'day, Tyra. Hi, how are you? Good, thanks. How long were you at the company for and what did you get? I'm actually still there and I've been there for four years.

And then that time I've been married and had a baby. Okay. And when I got married, they shouted me a whole champagne ham to go towards my wedding because I gave it up myself. And then my husband went to pick up the ham and they had a nice expensive bottle of champagne there to give to us to say congratulations.

And then I took my baby in for a visit after I'd had him and they had a nice beautiful bunch of flowers for me. Tyra, do you feel like you guys are loved at that company, like you're looked after? I do, definitely. I've been through some other stuff there and they've always been super supportive and understanding

and I really appreciate the company a lot. That's so nice to hear, Tyra, because a lot of people don't feel like that at their workplace. Do you feel like you've always felt like that at different places you've worked or this is like the best one? No, I've been appreciated in other places but this is pretty up there. Maybe you're just a lovely person

Tyra and very good at what she does so people look after you. Stick me around. Absolutely. Hey well thanks Tyra. This one is Someone that tried To do a nice thing But kind of failed

Someone's texted And said I was given A pair of earrings I don't have my ears pieced Never have Never will I wonder how long They worked there too

Someone else said I got a cookbook And I'd been there For eight years But a girl Who had been there For one year And left Got a Pandora bracelet.

Oh, you'd be ropeable. So ropeable. Someone else said my mum worked at a place for 40 years. That's a long time. And she was given a $20 plant as a leaving gift. Asher with Chicken with Nina. Hi, Nina. Hi, Nina.

Hi. Tell us, Nina, was it something good for leaving your work or a bit stink? Oh, it was a bit stink. What happened, mate? I'd been here for nine years. That's a long time. It is a very long time, yep. And sort of when I finished up, it was like the back end of COVID. So you could work from the office or like, if preferable, you could work from home. Yeah.

And so on the last day, I went in and took my laptop back and no one showed up to say bye. Not even my manager. I was like, cool. No, Nina. Thanks, team. Did you still have a work credit card and did you go out and get real pissed by yourself? Oh, I would have. If that was me, I would have went ham on that credit card.

Yeah. Did you say anything to anyone? No, it was just like left a really bad taste in there. Yes, you mean, I'm leaving, I'm out. Yeah, of course it would have. Sorry, Nina, that sucks. What stink buzz. Someone texted through and said, I got a $100 Prezi card for six years of service.

The Prezi card wasn't loaded. Here's the card. Load it yourself. See you later. You can put whatever amount you want on there. It's time to head to Hollywood. From iHeartRadio, this is The Latest. Live from LA with Dean McCarthy. It's time to head to Hollywood. Dean, tell us who wasn't getting an invite to King Charles' birthday party?

Well, first of all, me. What, Dean? What? How dare they? They need to get on the WhatsApp. Thank you very much. But there's also another fabulous person living in my state. Prince Harry, apparently, was not invited. So here's what happened, right?

So in the UK, you know how those tabloids, they are disgusting. They're ruthless over there. Well, they reported that Prince Harry was invited to the king's birthday and he declined, right? Harry was invited. He declined, wouldn't come. But now Harry's camp had to release a statement.

He was actually not invited. He and Meghan were not invited to the King's birthday. And by the way, this reminds me of like when I was in like grade eight, grade four I think it was, when Stephanie Brown wouldn't invite me to her birthday party. Oh, screw you, Stephanie Brown. People don't forget. I knew I didn't like her.

Never liked Stephanie. I never liked her. Bit of a brown noser, in my opinion. I actually feel kind of good that at 25 years old I'm finally slamming her on the radio. I feel good. Thanks for bringing that up. I can't believe that they didn't get an invite.

Like, that's his dad. He got invited to the coronation, didn't he? I thought they were kind of moving on. Maybe not. I love how even the royal family have the same family drama that everyday families have.

You know? We're all in a tiff about something. Someone gets in a fight at Christmas. It goes on for a year and then we eventually all make up. God. There it is. Okay, that's the latest live out of Hollywood from our correspondent Dean McCarthy. Thanks, Dean. Bye, guys. With Brian Clint, Maddie McLean filling in this week. There's a Reddit thread that's gone viral today, Maddie, and it's here in New Zealand

and it's after a Kiwi bloke has went to Reddit to try and get a little bit of comfort after he had a horrible farting story. Producer Claude, where did you get that sound effect from? And who made that sound effect? I'm sure it's fake. I bet it's not real. It's my favourite. This is a true fact.

A lot of the fake fart noises in the ZM system are made by men. Is that you? I think that is me. Look, I'll share the story that's kicked off this viral thread on Reddit. And apparently this story took place at the Auckland Museum. The original poster said that they had enjoyed an iced coffee before heading into the exhibition. That'll do it. And they got quite a low-level milk intolerance.

But they went into the exhibition. It was the Egypt in the Time of the Pharaoh exhibition. Oh, God, they've gotten very specific about this story. Yeah, so we wouldn't know a timeline as to when this would happen. They said about halfway through the exhibit, he needed to have a rest so he proceeded to sit next to a fellow museum goer on a bench. However, due to his arthritis, he noted that he needed to lower himself down quite slowly and carefully on the bench.

He said a bending movement that resulted in him farting directly into the unsuspecting lady's face who was sitting on the bench. All this lady would have seen is some guy lowering his ass directly and let one rip. And it would have looked like it was on purpose. What do you do? What do you say? Do you say, excuse me? You have to. You have to go, I'm so sorry.

You go, it's the iced coffee. And she'd go, get away from me. Get away from me. If I had to add a story into this Reddit thread about horror farting stories, one story comes to mind. And it's when I lived in an apartment building in Ponsonby in Auckland and in the apartment building, it was quite a boutique apartment building. There was about four apartments.

Ooh la la. It was quite fancy, guys. It was so fancy that you could either take the stairs or there was one lift for the whole building, but there was only four apartments, right? So hardly anyone was ever using the lift. I think I saw one other person, like I ran into one other person one other time whilst using the lift living there, right? You never saw people. Anyway, I lived on level two and this one day I decided, you know,

I'm going to get in the lift and I passed some wind in the lift. Sure, and you thought... I'm safe. I'm safe. No one's around. No one ever, as you say, you don't ever run into people, so... But it was this day that I had passed wind in the lift on level two and I was standing there and I realised that the lift stops at level one.

The doors open. An entire family, I'm talking mum, dad, grandma, grandpa, three children all staring at me. I've just absolutely bombed the lift. They all get on at once. It's a small lift. It is a small lift. Is that when you do the whole Oh God, who did that? Someone before me got must have. You should have seen the guy.

He was level three, I swear. How disgusting. I was so embarrassed. I didn't say a word. And then I'm not joking. Just before we're about to all get off the lift, this three-year-old goes, Mum, something stinks in here.

Well, have I told you mine? No. Are we sharing today? That's the whole point of the radio. We share. Oh, yeah, that's right. Yeah. I was at the gym with seeing my personal trainer.

Have you got a hot personal trainer? Yeah, he's quite good looking, yeah. Oh, here we go. I was doing kettlebell swings. Oh, you've got to push your pelvis out. Yeah, it's quite a thrusting movement. And then you've got to squeeze your butt cheeks. Yeah.

Well, I don't know what happened, but I did the upward movement of the swing. The upward thrust. The thrust. Let one rip. And he was standing behind me. Right behind me. Fart in his face.

You know, that's his fault for putting you on a high protein diet. That'll teach him. Those protein shakes. That'll teach her. Let's open the phone lines. 0800 dials at M or you can text us on 9696. Add to this list. What was your horror fart story?

We're talking about the thing that's trending a lot on Reddit at the moment and it's Kiwis. The Kiwis are trending for their horror fart stories. I reckon we've all had them, right? Like everyone has had an experience where you've accidentally let one rip where you weren't meant to or it came out and it wasn't. I let one go in church one time. I was quite young.

I was quite young and I tried to time it with the organ. Didn't time it well enough, did I? Did not time it well enough. I've definitely done that thing where you do it in a public space and you kind of see everyone looking around and then you join in. Who was that? Who was that? Disgusting. You should be ashamed. What did you eat?

As my mum would say, something crawled up your bottom and died. That's what my mum would say. Let's talk to Jono first on 0800 dials at M. G'day, Jono. Hey. Tell us, mate, what was your horror fart story? So this was just actually last year, and I was just kind of received a promotion to like a manager level.

Okay, great news. And I just finished running my first team meeting. A bit nervous. It seems to go really well. Okay. But my lunch before hadn't settled right. So it was about after two o'clock. I'm like, okay. I'd waited for everyone to clear out of the conference room. So I'd been doing some extra notes, the minutes

and stuff. And I'm like, okay, there we go. Everyone's gone. Let her up. Me and Chilly Fart, that was, made you feel all warm and cozy in the wrong way. And then after the meeting, though, my new boss, and I can say it's down the end of a hallway, and I can see him walking towards me. And I'm like, oh, no. I know that I've just absolutely violated this room. And he's coming in to have a conversation.

I'm like, I know there's two desks in between us. But I'm like, I think I must have looked pretty petrified because I feel myself just freezing up. And I'm like, how do there's two deaths in between us, but I'm like, I think I must have looked pretty petrified because I feel myself just freezing up and I'm like, how do I get out of this? And this guy came in and I don't know if he sensed it or kind of felt it. And then it was a very short conversation and at that point I'm like, look, Koolk's sweet, let's catch up afterwards out there in the lunchroom. I'm trying to get him out.

I get over that. Then one of my staff members comes in afterwards to follow up to it. I'm like, man, this is the worst. It was pretty bad. It was a risk. It was always going to be a risk, Jono. I went away. No one was around. And then two people came up and said hello. And I'm like, you just entered

the wrong place. I went away for a reason. Jono got called into HR the next week straight after that. You're the boss now, Jono, you can do what you like Yeah I could kind of do a lot but that was my boss coming up like this I talked to him from a distance

if he's in a room, just wait to get up to the opening I thought you were going to say someone was still on the Zoom in the conference meeting, you know? I'm sure that has happened Let's talk to Michael on 0800-DARLS-NM. G'day, Mike. Hi, Brie.

Tell us, mate, what was your horror fart story? So we're in the States and we're in Salt Village in a little pantomime theatre and we took the upper seats. Okay. So this is my family and then at the end of the pantomime, walking down a crowded set of stairs, and I let one rip. Right.

But what happens is in the States, my stomach doesn't seem to agree with a lot of the processed meats there, so it just smelled horrific. Oh, no, Michael. Like people made faces trying to be polite, and then my parents pulled me aside because they were not too far off, and they said, that was disgusting. That was a crime against humanity.

That was like chemical warfare. That was a hate crime. Yeah, something crawled up your butt and died very much. Did you clear the theatre, Michael? Well, it may as well have. And I got put on a ban. I wasn't allowed to have any hot dogs, red sausages, hamburger patties, those chicken tenders, anything where the meat had been processed in any form

you got banned for the rest of the trip yeah it was like it just had to be like a proper steak or proper chicken it was oh my god this meat you must have been horrendous mate it must have been so bad now you know salads only if next time you go to America, Michael. Salads only. And no ranch dressing for you, Michael. Way off the ranch. There was no ranch dressing. That's the worst part of it.

Just dry meat. Thanks, Michael. Thanks, Michael. Someone's texting. What'd they say? What'd they? They said I was at a war memorial in Europe. There's a convent where you have to be silent.

It's a really serious place until you accidentally let one rip. Pardon. It would have been so echoey. I know. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry.

Well, go on to hell. We're about to launch a new game. Is it Taylor Swift? Is it Taylor's version? Taylor or Taylor's version, Maddie McLean? Oh, bring it on. A pretty simple concept. There's 50 KFC chicken dollars up for grabs. You say you're a Swifty. Yeah, I it on. A pretty simple concept. There's 50 KFC chicken dollars up for grabs.

You say you're a Swifty. Yeah, I love her. I absolutely adore her. I've seen her three times in concert. But can you tell the difference from the original recorded version or the re-released Taylor's version? They're meant to sound quite similar.

I reckon I'll be able to tell the difference. Can you take down a Swifty in you, McKinley? Hello, mate. Hi. You love some Taylor Swift, McKinley. Yes, I do. Do you reckon you could tell the difference between the OG recorded version

and the Taylor's re-recorded version? I hope so. Well, let's put it to the test this afternoon. Here's how it's going to work. We've got a bunch of songs here, and you're each going to have the chance on each song to say whether you think it is the original version or the re-recorded Taylor's version.

Okay? If you get it right, you get a point. Person with the most points at the end wins. Are we ready to play? I'm ready. Yeah. All right. Here we go.

Here's song number one. So it's going to be forever Or it's going to go down in flames You can tell me when it's over If the high was worth the pain Go on, let's Blank Space. But is it the original? And people playing along in the car can also text her on 9696.

Is that the original recorded Blank Space or is that the re-released Taylor's version? Maddie, do you want to go first? I'm happy to go first this time. Okay. I feel pretty confident that it's Blank Space, Taylor's version. The re-recorded Taylor's version? The re-recorded Taylor's version. You're locking it in?

I'm locking it in. And McKinley, what say you? Yes, I also agree. Taylor's version. Both locking in Taylor's version. Locking it in. And McKinley, what say you? Yes, I also agree. Taylor's version. Both locking in Taylor's version. I can confirm it was Taylor's version. Nice, McKinley.

Both off to a good start. I like it. Okay, here we go. Second song. Let her rip. I knew you were trouble when you walked in. Shame on me now. Blew me to places I've never been. Now I'm lying on the cold hard ground.

I knew you were trouble. I keep waiting for the goats to come in. Is that the original I Knew You Were Trouble or is that the re-recorded Taylor's version? I'm going to say McKinley. Do you want to start this one, McKinley? Do you want to kick it off? Sure.

I think that's the old one. The original. Yeah. Okay, she's locking it in. The original I Knew You Were Trouble. Maddie, what say you? I think it's Taylor's version. Maddie, ooh, okay, so we've got a difference.

Maddie says it's the new re-recorded Taylor's version. McKinley, you say it's the original. Mm-hmm. Obviously, one of you has it right. Yeah. It was the OG, McKinley. You were right on that. Nice work.

Well done. Okay. Are you ready for your next one? Ready. This is quite fun. Let's go. Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone. I'll be waiting.

All we've got to do is run. You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess. It's a love story. Baby, an absolute classic. Take on it. Is it the original or is it Taylor's version? Maddie, we'll get your answer first. I'm sticking with the theme here, but I think it's Taylor's version. Locking in Taylor's version. I do, yeah.

McKinley, what do you think? I also think Taylor's version. McKinley, locking in Taylor's version. It was Taylor's version. The new recorded Taylor's version. Nice work, Kate. McKinley, you are killing it. McKinley, you are in front.

You're three from three. We're going to go one more and Maddie, winner takes all. What do you reckon, McKinley? Sure. Okay. I mean, McKinley's already won. She's gone three from three. She's proved herself. But just for along, so why can't you see? You belong with me. You belong with me. Oh, I reckon this is the hardest one yet. Do you want to go first, McKinley, or do you want me to go first?

Um, I can try. I'm not sure. You're not sure? I feel like that's warranted. Quite difficult. All too well. What do you reckon, McKinley? I reckon original. Oh, sorry. My bad. It's you belong with me. I know what I'm talking about. You say original, McKinley. Yeah. Okay. But I'm not sure. Maddie McLean. Man, I've stuck with my guns so far.

I'm going Taylor's version. You're going Taylor's version. All right. Winner takes all on this one, even though McKinley hasn't been wrong yet. You're saying original, McKinley. Mm-hmm. Maddie McLean is saying Taylor's version, I can confirm the winner of Taylor versus Taylor is McKinley. She's gone four from four.

Well done, McKinley. McKinley, can I also say you're at a disadvantage because you're on the phone, so you can't hear as well. Impressive, my friend. That is so good. Man, you know your Taylor. You know your Taylor. We're going to hook you up with 50 KFC chicken dollars.

Thanks for playing. Awesome. Thank you. No worries. She was incredible. Incredible. The musical ear on it. You know, I don't love to lose,

but if you're going to lose to someone, you lose to McKinley, you know? I mean, she deserved to win. She was clearly the biggest winner. You're hating it. Look at you. Maddie's like, let's play again tomorrow. Let's play again.

I'm happy for her. Well done. You want to play again tomorrow? Yeah, let's play again. Okay, we'll play again tomorrow. Taylor versus Taylor. Bree and Clint. Time for a birthday banger.

Bree and Clint. All I want for my birthday is a birthday banger. Let's get you in here. If you've always wondered, what's my birthday banger? I want to know mine. I know people always, always talk to me about this segment. Yeah. And say, I desperately want to know what my birthday banger is.

Tell them to call up. I will. I should. We're happy to lend our services to anyone. We're kicking it off today with you, Crystal. G'day. Hello. Is this something you've always wanted to know?

Have you always wanted to know what your birthday banger was? I have always been curious when you put it on. Oh, good. Well, you're here, Crystal, and we're going to do it for you. What's your birthday, mate? 4th of May, 1993. May the 4th of May be with you, Crystal, because you were 16 in 2009. And on your 16th, this was number one.

Jai Ho. It's an absolute banger. Jai Ho. Do you remember that one, Crystal? Only just. I think it was in the Slumdog Millionaire soundtrack. Slumdog Millionaire. The Pussycat Dolls, A.R. Rahman jumped on there.

I love that tune. It's so good. It's a great one, Crystal. It's unique. No, it's different. It's unusual. It's Crystal. It's Crystal.

Okay, hang there, Crystal. We're going to have to do another one for Hazel. G'day, Hazel. Hey, how's it going? Great. How are you doing? I'm good. I'm good. Awesome. Finishedel. Hey, how's it going? Great. How are you doing? I'm good. I'm good.

Awesome. Finished work. So, yep, on the drive home. Oh, I love to hear it, Hazel. Well, let's get you there. What's your birthday? So, it is the 8th of August, 1991. All right, my friend.

You were 16 in 2007. And back on your 16th, this was at the top. Oh, it's huge, Hazel. The Way I Are, Timbaland. What a huge, massive tune. You love it, obviously. Yeah, definitely danced a lot of nights away to that one. Oh, didn't we all?

Didn't we all? I've put my back out many times. Many times. Oh, you've got a great one, Hazel. Stick around. We'll do one more for who, Matty? This is with James. Hi, James. G'day, James. How are you, mate? Yeah, good. Just driving home. Oh, love to hear. What did you get up to for the weekend, James? I cleaned my house and moved a bunch of furniture into a storage unit, so it wasn't very fun. Oh, look at you fin-shwaying your life, James. Oh, got your stuff together.

I like it. Hey, mate, what's your birthday? 6th of December, 1990. Oh, it's only about a month away, but you were 16, though, James, in 2006. And, James, this is your birthday banger. No way. Is that right? I feel like that could be a mistake.

James is like, are you guys sure? Unless it randomly came back to the top of the charts. Oh, James, we could have had a nightmare here. This might be a mistake. But you know what? Hey, we're running the team member down.

We're just going to go with it. Yeah. I feel like that couldn't be possible. Unless it made a resurgence. Yeah. Unless, which, I mean, that can happen. It does happen from time to time. Like Bohemian Rhapsody went to number one again,

you know, when Freddie Mercury passed away. Yeah. 6th of December 2006. I'm just going to figure it out. 6th of December. Oh, this is the first time we're doing it live on air. Just putting it, doing the math on here. Yeah, I feel like that can't be right.

I mean, it's a great song though, James, right? Yeah, it's good. It's a great song. Hey, James, stick there. We need to vote. And I'm just going to make an executive call. We will vote on the three songs that we've got. What are you thinking, Matty?

I'm going Timberland. You're going Timberland the way I am. I'm going Timberland today. I'm between Jai Ho and Timberland. You're going Timberland the way I am. I'm going Timberland today. I'm between Jai Ho and Timberland. But this is already a mess, so I'm going to go with you. Timberland is a great song. Hazel, you've won birthday banger. Yes, what a banger.

Thank you. Thank you. Tune. We're going to get that on the air for you right now. Throwback to 2007. This is your birthday banger, The Way I Are, Timberland. Nice work, Hazel. See you, mate.

On ZM with Brian Clint, Maddie McLean filling in. Brian Clint. There it is, your birthday banger, Timberland and Kerry Hilson, The Way I Are on ZM with Brian Clint this afternoon. Maddie McLean filling in.

We did get to the bottom of the mix-up. We know what we did. Yes, we know what we did. It was his birth year banger. Was Ice Ice Baby. Was Ice Ice Baby. And Producer Cord, you figured out what his actual birthday banger was. Yeah.

Didn't you? This is his real birthday banger. So there you go, James. It was Promiscuous Girl. Another Timberland song. I mean, if you think back to 2006, 2007. He was everywhere. He was everywhere.

Everywhere. It was Timberland Central. Where is he now? They just put out a song with Justin Timberlake and Nelly Fatata. He's got his own Marijuana line too. Does he? Nah, I don't know. I just made that up.

That sounds so convincing. God, I believe everything that comes out of your mouth. Everyone's got a Marijuana line in the States at the moment. God, they've all done it. I'll tell you what. One of the most stressful things in life must be picking a child's name. Yeah, because you don't want to give the child a name that's going to rhyme, you know, where the kids just pick on the kid for the name.

They rhyme it with something. You must do that as a parent, right? What are the schoolyard taunts that could be used with this name that I'm about to give my child? Exactly. And also, you've just got to think about so many other things, right? Does it suit the child? You know, do I know other people?

This is a big one. Do I know other people with this name? Was there a bully at high school that I hated? Is it going to age well? Exactly. There's a lot of stuff to think about. It's a big responsibility naming another human. I mean, I've never had to do it, but I can't even imagine.

I mean, I can't decide on what I want for dinner. No. It's quite a big decision. Picking a Netflix show is hard enough for me, let alone picking a baby's name that's going to stick with them for the rest of their life. Yeah. Well, spare a thought for this couple in the US who had not one, not two, but three baby names to

come up with. They had triplets. Had the old, had the old trio, did they? Triplets. And that must be stressful because God, you're not only having to think of a name and come up with something that you want to name your child, but you've also got to think of something that the other person in the relationship is going to agree on. Yeah. And imagine doing that three times. Yeah, I mean, it's a lot in one go.

That's why people end up giving them rhyming names. You know, it's just easier. Like when they have twins or triplets, just give them a rhyming name. They'll all sound the same. Well, this couple went on to TikTok to announce that they had decided on the three names for their babies and they wanted the world to know what the names were that

they'd decided on. Okay, what have they named their triplets? The first one is nice and simple Lachlan. Lachlan. Lovely name. Great name. Easy, simple. Can be shortened to Lockie. Yeah, I like Lockie as a name actually. I work shortened to Lockie. Lockie, yeah. I like Lockie as a name, actually.

I walk with a Lockie. The second one is quite American, I would say, but it sounds nice, I think. Wilder. Wilder? Yeah. Like Van Wilder? Yeah.

Wilder. It's quite American. How's it spelled? W-I-L-D-E-R. Oh, yeah, that's weird. Yeah. It's quite a... But I agree with you, quite American. American. I can imagine a lot of Americans would go,

oh, that's nice, I like that. No, it's so unusual. It's unusual. Wilder. Wilder. But it's the third and final name for their triplets that's got a lot of people, at least in our part of the world.

It's not Wilder? It's not Wilder. That's got people talking? No. It's the third one. It's the third one. And especially in our neck of the woods, it's really pricked people's ears up when they heard this third and final name. Okay. They have named their third and final triplet Brisbane. As in the city. As in the city in Australia. Brisbane.

In Australia, the capital of Queensland, Australia, Brisbane. Or as the Americans like to say, Brisbane. Brisbane. Brisbane. Brisbane. You've lived in Brisbane for what, 10 years? Lived in Brisbane for a long, long time. Did you ever think, oh, this is a nice, this would make a nice name?

No. I did, however, think about naming my first child the town over from Brisbane, which is Caboolture. Thought about naming my kid Caboolture. Or maybe Maloolaba. Noosa. Apparently the dad lived in Brisbane for six months. So it's actually based off the actual city Brisbane

that he wants to call his, I mean, he has called one of his triplets Brisbane. Someone on the post that they put up online has commented and said, thank goodness you didn't live in Wagga Wagga for six months. Or Dubbo. Dubbo. This is my son Dubbo and my other in Wagga Wagga for six months. Or Dubbo. Dubbo. This is my son Dubbo

and my other son Wagga Wagga. This is my daughter Kanungra. Just all, you know, solid names. Places I lived in in Australia. I think it's so interesting

when people name their children after a place or a city or a town. Yeah. I'd love to hear from people on 0800 dials it in this afternoon. Do you know someone, maybe it's you, or maybe you named one of your kids after a place, a city, a country? Some of them I reckon have universal appeal. Like I could imagine a Sydney.

I could imagine an India. Yes. Like those are kind of names that are pretty universal. Yeah. But I'm trying to think of like New Zealand place names. That would work. That would work. And I really can't think of any.

Oh, look a cute little baby Invercargill. This is my daughter Timaru. I mean, maybe. Maybe we just haven't seen it. 0800 dials at M or you can text us on 9696. Do you know someone that's named after a city or a country? We're talking about people that have names that are after a place or a city, maybe even a state.

Yeah, a dad, mum and dad in the US have gone viral for naming their kid Brisbane. Little Brisbane. Little Brizzy. Little Brizzy. Little Brizzy. Imagine if someone called their kid, like, Tennessee. I could see that, though, in America. Someone calling their kid Texas.

Yeah. Someone still already texted in, I went to school with siblings. Tennessee and Wisconsin and their brother was Cleveland. No. No, they did not. Apparently. Really? Wow.

Someone said, daughter's middle name is Savannah because we like the town Savannah, Georgia. It's her 11th birthday tomorrow. Oh, happy birthday. Savannah is lovely. Savannah is a lovely name. Some of them make total sense, right? I think so. Brooklyn, Paris, Savannah.

Yeah. Lovely, reasonably normal names. This one I do not believe. Someone sticks in and said, my auntie was a teacher and she had a kid named Waitematahaba in her class. Come on! The whole thing! Let's talk to Tori on 0800 dials at M.

G'day, Tori. Hi, Brie. How are you? Good, mate. Who's the person that's named after a city or a country or place? Well, I don't know them personally, but me and my family are from Zimbabwe, and we always watch the cricket whenever they play here. Okay. When I was younger,

there was a guy called Willington in the team. Oh, right. And he has his brother who also plays Hamilton. Wow. Really? Yeah. That's classic. The way you Wow Really Yeah That's classic The way you say it with that beautiful accent of yours You've got a lovely accent Wellington actually has grown on me

Yeah They have a third brother and the joke in our household is Well what's his name Christchurch No don't be silly Tori that's Dunedin Thanks for calling through, mate. We appreciate it. Someone texted and said, in my son's school, there are two boys who are named Topor. What? Two?

In the same school. Popular name. Let's talk to Lorraine. G'day, Lorraine. Hi, Bree. Hi, Maddie. Hi. Tell us, mate, who's the person that they're named after, a city or country? So while you were talking,

I remembered that my sister-in-law named her older daughter Tennessee, but my daughter is named, her second name is Sydney, after Sydney. After Sydney? You named it after the city? I did, I did. My dad had worked on the Sydney Opera House. My grandfather's second name was Sydney, and that was the first place I ever travelled to out in New Zealand.

Wow. That's cool, though, Lorraine, because it's got history. I mean, Sydney's quite not a bad name. Yeah. A really nice name. Nice. Oh, cute. Thanks for calling through, Lorraine.

Appreciate it. Let's talk to Fiona. G'day, Fi. Hi. Tell us, Fi. How are you guys doing? We're good, mate. How are you going?

Great. Tell us, Fi, who's the person and what's their name? Well, it's my daughter. Okay. And I was living in Arkansas and I named her after where she was conceived, which was Morgan, Arkansas. Morgan.

So your daughter's name's Morgan? Yeah. Does she know the story of how she got her name, Fee? I haven't quite broken the news to her yet about exactly how it came about. Fee, I'm so glad that my parents didn't take that same tact because my name would be Toowoomba. It suits you, Brie.

What a beautiful name. Yeah, Toowie, Toowoomba. I love it, Fee. Thanks for calling through. Do you have any other favourite texts, Matty? Someone has texted and said that they know someone called Carisbrook after Carisbrook Stadium in Christ in Dunedin. Really? Yeah. Really? Do you reckon that's where they were conceived? Might have been behind the stands after a footy game. Yeah,

someone had a big win, celebrated, you never know. Let's talk to Megan Last on 0800 Dials at M. G'day, Megan. Hi, guys. How you going? We'day, Megan. Hi, guys. How you going? We're good, Megan. Tell us, who's the person and what are they named after? Okay, so it's my daughter. Okay.

And we named her Asia because we loved the continent. We loved the people. We loved travelling through there. Named her Asia. Quite a common name, Asia. Yes, it is. We've spelt it quite differently, though. So we started with a Y, so it's A-Y-S-I-A.

Oh, right. So just to make it a bit different. Yeah, but we're those mean parents because a lot of people don't actually know it's Asia. Oh, mate. She's going to be forever spelling her name when she calls up. She's going to curse your guys' names when she gets older. She'll be like, mum and dad, why did you do this? But, you know.

She's so old and she's got a double-barrelled last name too. What's the double-barrelled last name? Oh, she's Winter Perry. So she's Asia Winter Perry. I mean, cool name though. Like when you put it all together, cool name. Well done. Yeah, no put it all together, cool name. Well done. Yeah, no, good on you, Megan.

It's interesting because Megan said that they named their daughter Asia because they love, you know, travelling. Someone on the text machine said there's a YouTube family who called their kid Zealand. Because they travelled here? I think so. Wow. Not New Zealand.

Just Zealand. Just Zealand. Yeah, the new doesn't really so. Wow. Not New Zealand. Just Zealand. Just Zealand. Yeah, the new doesn't really work, does it? Although Zealand. This is my kid, New Zealand. It's a hyphenated name. Bree and Clint. Rudimental.

Feel the love on ZM with Bree Brian Clint and Maddie McLean. They'll be here for Symphony next February. That song, look, I'd hate to be this guy, but once upon a time I ran a marathon. Half marathon or full? Full marathon. Okay. Full 42Ks.

Just checking. And that song was high on my running playlist rotation. How many times did you listen to that? Quite a few. When you run 42Ks, Brie, it's a long playlist. I love how you're so humble about it. I don't like to bring it up. But you will.

It came up naturally. Yeah, fair enough. So natural. Hey, did you go to a Halloween party this year? I actually didn't. And I regretted it quite a lot when I saw all the different photos of my friends in costume. Like, it's quite fun to get dressed up for Halloween.

It's so fun. Did you go to a party? Yeah, Ryan and I went to one on the weekend. What did you go as? We went as Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey. Did you? How have I not seen that photo? You won't see it anywhere.

That's why I haven't seen it. It was horrific. Wait, I want to guess you were obviously Travis Kelsey. Clearly. Clearly. He's the big sporting fan that I am. It's the shoulders. Yeah.

Yeah, you've got the shoulders to carry that costume. Anyway, we went along to our friend's house for this Halloween party and it was so much fun. God, we had a blast and went well into the night. Okay. I love a good house party. Me too. But, you know, I indulged and had a few

and was quite enjoying myself and we were gathered around the kitchen at one point late in the evening and I was... Oh, no. ...turned my body to turn around to talk to one of my friends. Unfortunately, at the time that I turned my body around, my friend who I was turning around to talk to had bent down to pick something up. And when I swung round.

Oh, you hit him with your. Clipped him in the face with my knee. Oh, I thought you were going to say with something else. Oh, with the knee. Oh, I thought you were going to say with something else. Oh, with the knee. Yeah. How highly do you think of me? I'm just trying to boost your ego a little bit, Matty. Ego boosted.

Yeah, well, you're welcome. So you turn around, you hit him with your knee. What, in the face? In the face. And he was like, oh, you know, it's quite a sharp. Tender spot. Tender spot. And it's a bit of a pain and, you know, a bit weepy in the eye.

You sure you hit him with your nose? But it was truly one of those things where I went, well, I'm really sorry. Obviously a mistake. Clearly an accident. And I was like, you all good? And he was like, yeah, yeah, fine. Totally fine. Totally fine.

And then we just went along with the night. And so you kept going. Everyone was all good. He was fine. And it was fine. When I left the party that night, everything was fine. Okay. And then I woke up to a string of messages.

And my friend ended up in hospital. No. He had to leave the party and go to A&E. What happened? I'm going to show you a photo of his eye. Was it because of the interaction with your knee? It was entirely my knee's fault. I'm going to show you a photo of my friend's eye post-knee injury.

Oh, my God. I mean, people cannot see this. What did you do to him? He can't even see out of his left eye. He cannot open his eye. There's so much fluid buildup in there. Is that from you hitting him in the face? That is just from me kneeing him in the eye.

Oh, my God. You must have a pointy knee. It was something called an infraorbital fracture. What? You fractured his eye socket? Yeah. Is that what happened? Yeah.

This was him the next day. Look at how much fluid is in there. You're kidding me. How bad did you feel? Terrible. You can imagine what our group chat is doing at the moment. Yeah. I'm still three days later being absolutely roasted.

Me and my knee. My poor knee's been caught up in the middle of this as well. Have you ever sent a friend to A&E? Oh, I mean, I've sent my sister to A&E. Actually, technically, look, technically, if this makes you feel better, Maddie, technically when I was younger, I sent my sister and my brother to the hospital emergency room

on different occasions. I broke both their arms on different occasions. By pushing them over or something? Yeah, I mean, look, they deserved it. Rough and tough. No, we were playing in the backyard. There was, you know, stuff involved. But essentially, you feel so bad.

So bad. But you were a kid when that happened. I'm a 37-year-old man and I see my friend to the hospital. Can you imagine? You should just pretend like you're the tough guy now and you'd be like, don't mess with me. You want to see what I did to my friend? I messed him up. And people are like, what did you do?

You're like, oh, he ran into my knee. My knee's quite tender. Bree and Clint. Bree and Clint, Maddie McLean has been filling in. It's been so fun. It's been great. It's been a joy.

Are you going to come back tomorrow? Are you coming back tomorrow? I'll come back tomorrow, yeah. Sure, why not? Lovely. What else am I going to do? Just sit at home and watch Six in the City rewind? Christian, do you have a spa at your new house?

Yeah, I do. God, you live right near me. Do you want to come around for a spa one time? Yeah, can I? Yeah, absolutely. I'd love to come around for a spa one time? Yeah, can I? Yeah, absolutely. I'd love to come around for a spa and a couple of beers. Yeah, bring the togs. I'll get the beers out and hop in the spa.

How good? You reckon like when you were looking at houses to buy, was that like a big tick like when you saw it had a spa? Yeah, we were like, it's ours. We've got to get it. Honestly, my parents parents when they because they had dreamt of building their dream house for like 30 years and then like four years ago they bought the piece of land they built the house you know what was the first thing that they discussed they were

like and then the spa's gonna go here and that was like it the spa was the pinnacle of you know building their dream home. I will say, because everyone goes, oh, you won't use it. You won't bloody use it. We use it so often. Do you? We're always in there. Always in there.

Like a human soup. Yeah. Why not? Hey, the invite's there. I will be around. And we'll see you tomorrow for another installment of the Brian Clint Show with Maddie McLean. We'll see you then. Bye. Bye.
