The ZM Podcast Network Hey everybody, welcome to the show We've been listening to that Bruce Springsteen song That song that goes, I'm on fire You ever thought about the words in that song? Let's just skip ahead a little bit You know when he's like, at the start of it. Whoa, rude.

What is that about? Well, it took me a long time to figure it out. Daddy is not her daddy. Daddy's her partner. Oh. Yeah. Gotcha. As in your daddy, your old man, your fella.

You'd be rethinking those lyrics these days. Oh, 2021, you wouldn't be releasing that. No. Also, if he's on fire, don't let him in. Isn't it? No. I can't think of anyone I want to have sex with less than someone who's on fire. Or that means it's gonorrhea. Oh, true.

Like, I feel like I'm on fire. When you wee. Jeez, let's put that song in. Let's take that song literally then. Oh, it's gonorrhea. Oh, true. Like, I feel like I'm on fire. When you wee. Jeez, let's put that song in. Let's take that song literally then. Oh, it's like chlamydia. Which is the one that burns when you pee. Pen? Chlamydia, I think.

I don't know, but is it the Kings of Leon thing as well? Yeah. Six on fire? Nah. Chlamydia, yep. Nah. They didn't write a song about chlamydia. Yeah, they did.

So did, um um what about that song the clap the clap oh no that's a fake song from a movie it's still a very good song though i think that's a really solid song from that movie what movie it's from um it's from getting get him to the greek one of my all-time favorite movies and he's a there's great fake songs on that movie yeah so one of them is called the clap and. There's great fake songs on that movie. Yeah, so one of them is called The Clap and where he sings about getting the clap. I've got the album from that movie on CD.

Where is it? It's a fake because Russell Brand is playing that fake rock star and he made a whole fake rock album to go with it. That song is one of my favorites and then another one is Stroke the Fairy Wall is really good. What was his name eldest eldest snow eldest snow yeah yeah it's one of my all-time favorite movies one of the last um russell brand movies he kind of went off after that he did that he did forgetting

sarah marshall and he did that one where he played that british guy which was a remake of a i love that movie too yes the one about him being like a young millionaire or something oh yeah it was it was all right yeah and then uh nothing else can you turn my thing up i've got the song here hold on here it is i just pound the drum and do the after the what wonderful day here in new york so you're gonna turn it up. I can't. Sorry, baby. Oh, boy. Was that Alan? Oh, no, this is where he goes to play the other song,

his song African Child, and then he changes. This is it. So good. I got the clap. You got the clap. If you do, no shame. Go and get tested. They can clear that thing right up for you. got the clap. Yeah. If you do, no shame. Go and get tested. They can clear that thing right up for you.

Yeah. Hey, Ben. Yep. Why do you keep asking Ben? Is it bad to Google what the clap is? Because he's a knowledgeable guy. It's not bad to Google it. No. It's the worst things you could Google.

Oh. Yeah, I just found out what the clap was. If anything, get educated and Google it. What is it, Anastasia? The clap is chlamydia. It's gonorrhea. Oh. What is it?

So what's gonorrhea? What's the word for that one? Which one's gonorrhea? That's the one for that one? Which one's gonorrhea? That's the one Ebba wrote that song about. No. What's the difference between gonorrhea and chlamydia?

They're kind of similar, I think. One of them drives you, one of them, if you don't treat it, goes into your brain and you go insane. No, that's syphilis.

Oh, is it? Syphilis is such a funny word. Syphilis. Syphilis, which is more an old school STD, isn't it? I don't know. I think they're all still going around. No, but I think it's not as common.

Oh, right. Yeah, I don't know. Jeez, we've got enough viruses to worry about at the moment. Remember, wear a face mask up here and down there. Chlamydia is a common STD that can infect both men and women. It can cause serious permanent damage to a woman's reproductive system. That's why women need to go and get pap smears and get tested for all the STDs. Yeah.

Chlamydia actually doesn't give us any symptoms, so we don't know that we've got it. Right. But it actually hurts our lady system. Yeah. Yeah. If you have it for too long. Yeah. Sheesh. it for too long. You got the clap.

That's why it's super important for you fellas that if you get tested and you find out that you've got it to actually tell your other female partners because it can cause big problems. That's why it's really important to scan in with any person that you go home with. Scan in. You can use that really good website which allows you to, if you feel too embarrassed,

to send someone you've slept with a text, like you feel too embarrassed. You can go to this website and it sends them an anonymous text just saying, hey, you should go get checked. It is a good idea, but there's a flaw in it where you're assuming that that person has slept with more than just you recently it was just you well that's the thing because if they only slept with you they're just going to message you back and go bro i literally just slept with you and you

text me from a website well that's the rescue and then you go well i had to multiple people yeah so gonorrhea if you guys are interested gonorrhea is also an STD caused by infection within the Neisseria gonorrhea bacterium. Infects the mucous membranes of the reproductive tract, including the cervix, uterus and fallopian tubes. This seems like it's just for women. Really? Oh, no.

The urethra in women and men. Yeah, right. There you go. Oh, they're quite different. She women and men. Yeah, right. There you go. Oh, they're quite different. She's very informative this afternoon, isn't her? Big informative show too, you know. Yeah, we're learning a lot. Well, people always use these words and they joke and they laugh,

but then we never really know what they mean. It's probably good to educate. Yeah, Dr. Ashley Bloomfield's telling us the symptoms to watch out for for COVID at 1pm every day. When are they going to do the gonorrhea briefing, you know, and update the case numbers daily on that one? Are the case numbers going up or going down? Who knows?

Who knows? Hopefully going down at the moment, or in lockdown. Yeah, you'd hope so. Yeah. Okay, well, I need a drink, and you need a podcast, so let's do that, and we'll see you guys tomorrow. Bye let's do that. And we'll see you guys tomorrow. Bye, guys. Bye. Playing ZM on iHeart Radio. Hey Siri, when are Bree and Clint on? Bree and Clint are on air in five, four, three, two, one.

G'day everybody, Bree and Clint. What am I doing? Oh, I'm looking at pictures of the construction of the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco in 1936. Oh, you're at that point of your lockdown, are you? I think I'm at that point in my life where old photos are what I'm into. I got to the point in lockdown over the weekend where I got the biggest thrill, and I'm not joking, where I cleaned my laptop screen and then got out a sewing pen and started cleaning out my earbuds

and the bottom of my phone charging port. And it was the most exhilarating time I had all weekend. You're at the frantic cleaning stage of lockdown. It felt real good. I was like, oh, I feel like I've got purpose and I'm doing something. I'm glad you can still get exit mould from the supermarket because that's been one of my lockdown hobbies.

Oh, yeah, getting rid of mould. I reckon exit mould would bring that up really well. And guess what? It frigging works on everything. Yes, I feel like I'm going to pass out after I spray it, but I think it's worth it, the results. Here's a tip for you if you're renovating your house. If they tell you to get a white sink, don't do it.

Don't do it. Why? That's the most common silver. Oh, no. It goes brown. Yeah, silver. Just get the metal one. Don't try and be hipster like us.

Just get a metal sink like everybody else. What about a black sink? Oh, you can get a black sink and never have to clean it. Yeah, that'd be nice. But a white sink, it just goes brown. But I tell you what, you put exit mould on it and just leave it there for 10 minutes. Like a brand new sink.

Because you haven't even had that sink that long. Yeah. What have you been doing in there? Yeah, we really are at that bit of lockdown, aren't we? Yeah, we are. 15 cases though today and the country moving to level two, except for Auckland. How good?

I know. Everyone would be so excited and I'm happy for them, I've decided. I'm very happy. You're happy for the people who are out? Yeah. Yeah? Yeah.

Makes me happy that at least some people are, you know, moving forward. And let's put today's news in perspective, Aucklanders. You can fit all of the cases in just three Suzuki Swifts. Yeah. And probably a good way to transport them, you know, keep them in their own little, they've all got

it, so keep them in there. That's the exact use of measurement that I thought of when I saw the amount of cases today. Absolutely right. Tomorrow we're going for two Suzuki Swifts. It'll be great by the weekend if we were down to a single Swift and then next week

A moped. Yeah, yeah. Let's start working on let's start working on lime scooters. Let's start working on a Razor. What is it?

What are those Razor skateboards? Yeah, Razor scooter. No, what are the skateboards where you have to put two feet on? It's a swivel thing. Yeah, what are they called?

Have you ever tried to use that? Yeah. It's impossible. Oh, I got the hang of it. Did you? Not recently, though. Oh.

Today on the show, we're going to give you the chance. Oh, this is interesting. So we have a doctor joining us on the show at 3.30 this afternoon to answer all of the vaccination questions that we have and to dispel some of the common misnomers and lies about the vaccine that are going around, particularly on Facebook, Dr. Nikki Turner, who's an immunisation expert, will join us. If you're listening from 320, you'll hear her on the show this afternoon.

Bree and Clint. Look, if you listen to our show on Mondays, you would know we normally do a segment called Mind Blown Mondays. Where we get you guys to call up and tell us stories of coincidence that just can't be explained. Yeah. It's on hold while people are working from home. Yeah. It's hard to –

It's just taking a hiatus. It's hard to find people. It's in quarantine. That's why the stories are so mind-blowing is because they're quite rare. They are rare. And when they come up, they stick with you. Yeah. Yeah, right?

I feel like I've found one, and I don't care that it's Wednesday. I'm going to do it today. Okay, you go, girl. Because I feel like I've got a winner. Can I just check? Do you want the full mind-blown experience with this? Yeah. So the deal is if it's mind-blowing, but if it's not...

You get the fart. You get the fart. You get the fart. No, that's fair enough. Producers, obviously your vote is needed here, so if you want to listen intently and you guys all just give a thumbs up or a thumbs down to Clint at the end of the story. Roger that. Roger.

That would be perfect. Okay, let me tell you a story I found. So it's about these sisters. One sister's name is Brooke. The other sister's name is Allie. And they're very close. They live in the same town. They're about 10 minutes away from each other.

They've grown up together. And they had this idea, this dream where they were like, oh, I wish we'd get pregnant at the same time. Okay. Because they both had their husbands and whatever. Yeah. And they were like, oh, wouldn't that be fantastic? Share the experience.

Yeah, it'd be great. Our kids can go to school together. It'd be amazing. Anyway, so they used to joke about it all the time, like before any of them got pregnant as they were growing up. Anyway, one of the sisters, Brooke, she got pregnant and they were all super pumped, super excited about it and really happy for her.

And turns out a week later, her sister, Ali, found out she was pregnant. You have great news. So they're both pregnant, right? Yep. Both pregnant at the same time. They never thought it would happen, but they're like, this is the best thing ever. This is what we wanted.

Anyway, because they were pregnant so close together, they were like, oh, my God, imagine if we had our babies on the same day. Wouldn't that be creepy? Yeah. Yeah, that would. Yep. Sisters pregnant at the exact same time and if they had the baby on the same day.

Anyway. Naturally, right? Not booking in for an elective C-section. No. Because they could do that. Yeah. And they really want to have them on the same day. They could do that.

Anyway, so apparently Brooke's due date was about two weeks or three weeks before Ali's due date. Yeah. So they were like, oh, you know, we'll give up on that dream. That's not going to happen. Their sister's like, cross your legs. Yeah. Their sister's like, will you start pushing?

Hold it in. Anyway, one of the sisters started going into labour and she went to the hospital and she was in the waiting room and, you know, she was getting ready to have this baby and you wouldn't believe it, the other sister starts having contractions at home as the other one is having the baby in the hospital. Yeah. But there's still that, obviously, that crossover of, you know,

when you go into labour... Oh, it could be hours or it could be days into labour. Could be hours or could be days. Could be hours, could be days. Anyway, turns out the other sister gets sent to the exact same hospital. They're two rooms away from each other. One sister gives birth. Seven hours later, the other sister gives birth, both to two baby girls on the exact same day in the same hospital.

Yeah, that's like the chances of that happening are. Oh, do we need a vote? We need a vote? Ben's not sure. It's an obvious mind blown. Do you need clarification on something, Ben? No, that's definitely yes. What are the odds that they would give birth on the exact same day?

Different guys, right? There'll be odds for it. Good question. No, it turns out exact same guy. He had a busy night. Yeah. He really wanted to sync that up. It was like Mrs Doubtfire in that last scene

where he's running from one table to the other table. Hello, baby. Brie, I went to a really dark place this week. It was called the Facebook comment section on a post about the vaccine. Oh, you don't go there. Don't go there. No. There's some just, and it made me really angry, some, the scary level of misinformation

being shared as fact and people who don't know things who are stating it as fact and people going, oh my God, I didn't realise that that was the truth. Yeah, it's weird. I didn't realise that a guy I went to school with in year 10 was now a biology expert on a vaccine. All of a sudden, yeah.

I thought, rather than get angry, let's get information. So please, welcome to the show this afternoon. From the University of Auckland, the director of the Immunization Advisory Centre and probably the smartest person we've ever spoken to. It's Dr. Nicky Turner. Hi, Doctor. What an introduction.

Just do not tell my family I'm the smartest person you've ever met. What I thought we could do with you, seeing as you're an expert. On this topic only, by the way, guys. On this topic here, yes. I could put to you some of the things that I read in that Facebook post and you could tell us whether they are true or not. Sure. Okay, so we're speaking specifically

about the COVID-19 vaccination and I think in this conversation we're speaking about the Pfizer vaccination. That's fair to do, right, Brie? Because that's the one that we're all getting here in New Zealand. Yep. First thing that I keep seeing people write, it's still in the trial phase. They're giving it to us, but it's still in the trial phase. It's been given to us, but it's still in the trial phase.

It's been given to hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of millions of people around the world since November last year. When do you think it's no longer a trial? The trial phase went through last year. They got emergency approval in the countries with high rates of COVID. This has more data than any other vaccine I've seen before behind it. That is not trial stage. It's amazing what they can do when all the smartest brains in the world put their heads together and get a move on things. Okay, how about this one? And I saw this one come up,

I didn't really understand where they were getting this from. It's not actually a vaccine. Oh, how do I answer that? It's a vaccine. So vaccines work by the body sees what you present to it, thinks it's the virus and creates an immune response. That is exactly what the Pfizer vaccine is doing. It is not the virus itself. It's not even a piece of the virus. It's a code for a protein that the body makes and then thinks it's facing the COVID virus, creates its own immune response. So this vaccine works with my immune system to create my own immune response to give me memory. So that's what a vaccine does. It's amazing. Dr. Nicky, I've got a question and it's something I've been wondering.

Will this particular vaccine do anything to protect me against the Delta strain? Yes, it'll do a lot. So we're really clear from the data that it's really effective against severe disease and dying. So if you get this vaccine, you're really unlikely to die from COVID and you're really unlikely

to end up in hospital. So if I'm vaccinated and if you're vaccinated, we still will have way less spread to others than if we're not vaccinated. So that's why the whole team of five men and why we're still vaccinating for each other as well. And Dr. Nicky, what is the ideal time to have the vaccines?

How many weeks in between? Yeah, so originally New Zealand had said three weeks. And the reason for that was the original clinical trials were trying to protect people as quick as possible. So three weeks apart, you do get really good protection, no problem. But we know now that if you have a longer gap, and we're suggesting six weeks, that your protection is likely to be longer lasting, and you might get less side effects with a bigger gap from the first to the second dose. So

unless you're really worried about being exposed immediately, like you're working in an MIQ, then you're better off having a longer gap. This is really good stuff. We're getting the truth about the vaccine from Dr. Nikki Turner. She's an immunization expert. Here's one we've talked about on the show a bit. The Pfizer vaccine gives you big boobies. Well, I haven't done that for me is all I can say. Neither, Dr. Nikki.

I'm still waiting. I'm hopeful on the second vaccine. I think it worked for me, but I can say. Neither, Dr. Nicky. I'm still waiting. I'm hopeful on the second vaccine. I think it worked for me. But I think that might just be lockdown. I think that might be what it did it. Is that me putting on weight from eating too much? Right? Sorry, guys. No bigger boobies. No bigger dongers

from the vaccination. Yeah, sorry, team. There you go. That is the truth about the COVID-19 vaccination. We hope that gives you a bit of peace of mind if you are on the fence about this sort of thing. And like Dr. Nicky said, you're not just doing it for yourself, you're doing it for your community. Because you might not need the protection,

you might be fit and healthy, but that doesn't mean that you're not going to pass it on to someone that is going to catch the virus and possibly pass away from it. Which is what you really need to think about. Thank you so much, Dr. Nicky. You've saved me a lot of time on WebMD My pleasure, glad I could

help. I'll just tell my family now you've said I'm the smart one You take that to the bag, we appreciate it Jesus, things just keep going backwards and forwards and nothing seems to happen and yet everything seems to change. But Britney's dad has changed his stance on the conservatorship, Dean. He has, guys. So first of all, he voluntarily stepped down as the lead conservator

after, well, I guess you could call it international pressure. He's now petitioned, right? His team have now filed a petition where they've asked for the conservatorship to come to an end and have said that now the judge, they've basically pushed it back on the judge and said, Judge, we want you to decide whether you think it's time now to end the conservatorship. The long story short is this. He has said in his new petition that, look, she needed it at the time. It was good for her. It got her into a good place. It fixed and saved her finances. And now she believes

that it's not good for her anymore. And so we now are going to support her. Fun fact about this. Okay. This is the backflip of all. This is like the best backflip. Like this guy's like Cirque du Soleil backflipping down the judge. But let me tell you what, this is the deal. He actually wants to this is not being reported anywhere. It's pretty rare to find this, but he wants $2 million in owed expenses

as the conservator. That was not public knowledge. He basically wants a couple of million bucks to kind of shut up and help push this through. She's, I don't think, going to pay. That's a side story. But basically now the judge will have to decide to end the conservatorship.

She, the judge, will take into consideration everything, you know, lots of medical evaluations and things like that. So stay tuned. It's not over yet. So Brittany's dad wants $2 million for looking after his daughter. Is that effectively what he's asking for? Yeah, actually, yeah. Well, it's been more than that.

It adds up to millions over the years. But he said that most recently, it's kind of like he's got all, you know when you've got a job and you put all your receipts in? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Except it's looking after your daughter, you know? I watched a movie a couple of days ago on Amazon Prime and it was called I Care A Lot.

And essentially the movie was about, it wasn't a true story, but it was about these scams that run in America where people essentially go looking for older people and... Vulnerable people. Vulnerable people. Yeah. And Brittany is like one. And then they become their legal guardian

and then essentially sell all their stuff, take all their money and imprison them inside whatever is available, whether that be a... They get power of attorney over them. Yeah. And it reminded me quite a lot of Brittany's situation. And the worst part was is that the person doing this to her wasn't a stranger, It was her dad.

It's her dad. And it keeps changing. So we will watch this situation with bated breath. And that's the update from our Hollywood correspondent, Dean McCarthy. Thanks to Pepsi Max, Max Taste, zero sugar. You know what's really relatable at the moment is obviously struggling to find something to watch on TV. Oh, yeah. Because we've watched everything.

Yeah. Lockdown does that to you. Or trying to find something else to bake as well is right up there. Yeah. But, you know, you spend so much time. I hate finishing a show that I'm really invested in because it's so good coming home and going, I know exactly what I'm watching.

Boom, turn it on. I'm so excited for it. You get to know the characters. I don't spend time wasting, scrolling through all the stuff. Especially shows that you get on too late and you have five seasons to chew through and then you finish that. There's like a void in your life. Yeah.

There's a hole. Oh, no, I'm going to have to find. It's like having a breakup. It's like having a breakup. Get back on the dating apps and you're swiping through. Anyway, there's an article that interested me quite a lot, which they did a study on how much time you spend in a lifetime looking for something to watch.

Right. See, this has never been a phenomenon for any other generation before. Because you get told what to watch. You just turn on the TV and there was generally four channels there. Doesn't take that long. Doesn't take that long. You're like, okay, which four channels? Yeah, yeah.

It's like being a kid at dinner time. You eat what you're given. Yeah. And now we're adults with too much to choose from. Too much choice. That's what we wanted. But actually we're crippled by the amount of choice we have. Too much choice.

How much time do you think in a lifetime? Oh, I wouldn't have a clue. No clue whatsoever. How much time do you think in a lifetime? I wouldn't have a clue. No clue whatsoever. It's quite ridiculous actually. Okay. A study has revealed that the average human spends in a lifetime looking for something to watch on TV over a hundred days. Yeah, right.

Okay. A hundred days just looking for right. Okay. A hundred days just looking for something to watch. This is why I don't look for things to watch. This is why I, there's only two ways that I will watch a TV show.

One, if someone has recommended it to me and I'll go, okay, such and such thinks this is good. I respect their opinion. I'll give it a go or I'll just go to the top 10

on the app and you know that it's good. If it's into the top 10 and enough people are watching it, it has to either be really good or like really, really bad that it's worth watching, you know. It's quite interesting. Yeah, I think that's the best way to do it too because, you know, someone's done the work for you already.

So you're doing it off the numbers. Yeah, and then you can share your knowledge and that's how the world works. Do you want to hear some of the other statistics that came from this study? It says that on average, 55 days are spent picking TV shows and 57 days are spent on trying to find a film. It's so much harder to find a film.

It's so much harder to find a movie. I think because it feels like a bigger commitment. Yeah. Because a TV show you go, oh yeah, 30 to 60 minutes. If we hate it, it doesn't matter. A movie, you go, well, I don't want to waste two hours of my life. You know? TV shows are so long, though.

TV shows are so long these days. And they're series. So long. You don't realise you'll be wasting a month of your life on a bad TV show. You don't want to – it says here the three factors that affect the decision-making process for people. It says, number three, the length of the film. Totally. Is something that really comes into factor.

Number two, the girth of the film. The actors. Oh, you're right. The actors, who's in it. And number one, the genre. Obviously, like romantic comedy. I'm not on the mood for something serious. No, that's something I say.

I just want to laugh. I just want to have a laugh. I want to watch something fun. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So you put on something fun and you're like, I don't really feel like that. I thought we could round out this topic

with a suggestion of what to watch. Oh yeah, totally. Yep. I'm just looking up what I watched last night. It is honestly one of the best things I've watched all lockdown. Are you going to say,

oh no, yep, good. It's not a TV show. Oh yeah, right. Hold on. Here we go. It's on Netflixflix i'm pretty sure this is the name of it and it's about to be taken off netflix so if you're gonna watch it i'd watch it soon yeah um and it's called the soundtrack of my life i know that's the book anyway it's the it's the um the documentary about clive davis the guy in the music industry who's pretty much the greatest music exec of all time.

Yes. It's incredible. He pretty much found people like Whitney Houston, Barry Manilow, who else? There's so many, like Alicia Keys. It just goes on and on and on. It's amazing. Okay, cool.

Great recommendation. Netflix, was it? Netflix, yeah. It's only one thing I'm recommending at the moment. A show called Celebrity Treasure Island. Surprised you didn't suggest it, to be honest. Yeah, weird. Kia ora, I'm Jane Yee.

I don't know if you watch TV in the morning, but Ryan Bridge is the new host of the AM show on TV3. And he said today on live TV on the news that he thinks that New Zealand's mystery COVID cases, the ones that they can't link to a cluster or they can't link to a location of interest or to a cluster or they can't link to a location of interest or to a particular person, he believes that they are from people having affairs. I mean, is he being serious? I think he's being serious.

You have a listen and you tell me. We're in a lockdown. You'd think the number of places that you go, you can count on one hand, right? I just wonder if these people aren't having affairs. Because if there's something you wouldn't tell a contact tracer or a nurse or a health professional it's that you're sleeping with someone

else's wife, isn't it? So I'm just wondering. I'm not saying that that's where the issue is, but have we accounted for that? I mean it's an interesting theory. It's an interesting theory. He's gone out on a limb with this theory. He has. I mean he's put it interesting theory. It's an interesting theory. He's gone out on a limb with this theory. He has.

I mean, he's put it out there. He's right to a point. There'd definitely be things, you know, dodgy things happening just because we're all doing the exact right thing doesn't mean, you know, everyone is. And if you were guilty of that, you would hold on to the secret for as long as you possibly could. Absolutely. Until Jacinda herself walked in and was like,

tell us where you got the COVID, you know? I mean, you shouldn't be. You shouldn't be keeping a secret. I mean, you've done the crime and then you need to do the time and the time is telling the contact tracers where you've been. Well, the issue is that's the beginning of the time because then the real time starts, which first of all is a nice stay at the jet park for two weeks

while your partner is really angry at you. And then you have to go home to that partner afterwards and deal with that. Yeah, now that will be like prison. It's not just affairs. Like there'll be people who don't want to tell the truth because they, I don't know, visited a tinny house or they, you know, any kind of nefarious means that you could have contracted COVID.

Yeah, like maybe I don't want to tell the contact tracers that I went to KFC four times in one day. Even though it was closed. Even though they were closed. Totally. But if it's true and you catch COVID because you've had an affair and you have to come clean, you will then quite likely have to go through a breakup or a divorce while you're in lockdown.

Oh, because they release all of your info, don't they? Well, this is the thing. Yeah, it becomes a location of interest, doesn't it? But what if it's just someone's house? Like could you do a deal with the government? You're still going to have to tell your wife why you were at that house. Imagine trying to talk to Jacinda and be like, look, Cindy, I know. I'm a level with you here.

I know what you're trying to do, but I'm trying to keep my marriage alive. Look, I know I did the wrong thing. I know it's my fault. I know it's my fault. Is there any way we can keep this between us? Yeah, yeah, yeah. She's like, no. She's like, you doing the wrong thing and me having your back

over protecting the country. She holds up one of those graphs that she has, which explains why what you're asking is stupid. Yeah, she's like, here's a graph and here's a scale of how screwed you are. Whether it's true or not, we don't know, and I don't really care, to be honest. But I would love to talk to some people this afternoon

who have had to go through a breakup during lockdown. Might have been because someone was cheating. Might have been something completely different. Might have been because you got sick of the way your partner stacked the dishwasher. Breakups happen for good and bad reasons, you know? Do you put a line down the middle of the house? If so, what would you rather, the kitchen and lounge room

or the bedroom and bathroom? Well, I'd probably rather have the bedroom and bathroom. I can't do poo's in the sink. Well, you can't eat anything then. Well, you should have thought of that before you cheated, shouldn't you? Yep. Did you ever break up during lockdown, this lockdown

or one of the lockdowns that happened previously? How does it work? How do you navigate breaking up with someone that you live with that's in your bubble during a lockdown? Are there special rules for that? Can they be transferred to someone else's bubble? Can you kick them out of your bubble? Can you request to leave your bubble?

Or did it make you guys sort your stuff out, like being trapped in the same space, did you break up and then end up staying together? Of course it didn't. I don't know, I was being optimistic. Being locked in the same place as someone. Love to hear from you. I know $800 at M.

Did you break up during lockdown? You can text us as well on 9696. Bree and Clint. Talking about lockdown breakups, a lot of the country out of lockdown today Into level 2 Auckland's still in level 4 For the foreseeable future

And not the first time we've done this So the odds are there have to have been breakups Happened in New Zealand during lockdown It just has to be right Of course you're put in a tight space In one house together And then you're forced to spend every waking minute with each other. Oh, wait, that's different.

That's breakups because of lockdown. Yeah, that's definitely going to happen too. Oh, absolutely. Yeah. You said breakups during lockdown. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. For something that happened before lockdown.

Oh, I'm thinking because of lockdown. You're thinking you get on each other's nerves. Yeah. Oh, that absolutely is true too. We talked last year about a spike in divorces post lockdown because people reassess their lives and like, actually, I don't like you. You're like, wait, this is what you really like.

So we want to talk to you this afternoon. If you've had to do a breakup during lockdown, our first caller wants to remain anonymous. Hello, Anonymous. Hi, Anonymous. Hey, how's it going? Good. You found out that your partner cheated on you

the day before last year's Level 4 lockdown. Yep. Whoa. Not ideal. Not great. How did you find out, first of all? So we were sitting on couch watching TV and then she got a random text

and as you do, you pick up your partner's phone. They're like, oh, who is that? And yeah, it was like, oh, shame you can't do it anymore with the lockdown. When do you reckon you next come around? And I was like, who's this? And yeah, it just escalated from there and found out that she'd been,

I got it out of her that she was there the day before lockdown. So I was like, oh, okay, all good. Went up and just went to our room and grabbed this stuff and started putting it in the car and loaded up the whole car. And she's like, what are you doing?

And I was like, you're out, see ya. Wait, you just moved her into her car and she lived in her car for lockdown? No, it was my car. Her car was broken at the time. So I was like, oh, well, I chucked it in my car, took her stuff down the road to her mate's place. And she was like, where are you going? And I was like, your mate.

That's where you're going to be walking. And drove it down there, chucked it all on the driveway and yeah, didn't see her again. What did the mates say when you got there? They were like, you're not allowed to do this in lockdown. I was like, I don't care. See you later. See you later.

She's on her way. Wow. I mean, it sounds like, and you sound very angry in the situation, naturally, lucky it was the day before lockdown. You were able to do the transfer. Just in time. Otherwise you wouldn't have had to stay with each other that whole time. Another person who wants to remain anonymous. Hello, anonymous.

Hi, anonymous. Hi. What happened? Did you have a breakup in lockdown? Yeah, so it was the first one, the five-week one last year. Okay, what happened? On week three, we weren't getting along. We'd been together for a couple of years and then he decided that he was

going to break up with me and we had a house together. During lockdown? He decided that during lockdown was the time to have that conversation? Yep. He lived in a man shed for the last two weeks and then as soon as Level 3 kicked in, I left.

You got the hell out of there. Can I ask Anonymous, you say he lived in the man shed for a couple of weeks. What did the man shed have? Did it have a kitchenette? Did it have a shower? Did it have a TV? What was in there?

So there was a couch and power plugs, basically. Was there a fridge? And a little tiny beer fridge, yes. A beer fridge, right. So not a lush man shed we're talking. In, beer fridge, right. So not a lush manshed we're talking. No. In saying that, though, men love their mansheds, and he may have thought it was like camping.

Did he actually enjoy his time in the mansheds? I don't know because I haven't spoken to him since. Oh, my God, you guys haven't spoken since? No. Wow, okay. It doesn't even sound like a manshed. It just sounds like a shed with a couch in it. It's just a shed, but she put a man in it.

Is that? Oh, right. So it became a man shed. Is that what all man sheds are? Much like a tool shed. If you put tools in it, it's a tool shed. If you put wood in it, it's a wood shed. It was a spacious one, so yeah.

Yeah, right. Oh, Anonymous, that's horrible. I'm so glad you're out of that situation for this lockdown. If he had refused to go to the man shed, would you have moved into the man shed for the rest of lockdown? No, because that would mean no shower, no toilet. Yeah, right. My beard, my TV.

I feel like because he's the one that did the breaking up. Oh, yeah, he gets relegated. He needs to get, if you were the one that broke up with him, then you'd be out in the woman shed. I would take myself out there for sure, but no. The woman shed, you mean the lady cave? Yeah. The she shed. The she shed, there it is. I love the she shed. Hey for sure, but no. You mean the lady cave? Yeah. The she shed.

The she shed, there it is. I love the she shed. Hey, thanks, Anonymous. Glad you got that situation sorted, too. Thanks, Anonymous. He would have been one smelly man emerging from that shed after two weeks. I'm telling you. Not good.

Straight down the public pools in level two for a shower, I reckon. Bree and Clint. Time for a morale boosting request. A song to boost the mood of the nation while we are still in lockdown.

Well, enjoy that, Grace. Thanks for playing, mate. Bree and Clint. Did someone steal your thunder? Was it in a situation that was meant to be about you? It was your day? Yeah And someone decided

No It was going to be about them Sorry, I thought that was going to be a thunder sound effect Thunder, imagine dragons Do you want that? Is that good? I like the sub there. There's no storm outside.

Nah, someone's stealing your thunder right now. Oh, yeah, look out. You're doing the exact thing I'm talking about. There's a story where someone has taken to Reddit to ask if they're allowed to be angry at this situation. They said, you know, their name was Sarah and it was their engagement party. So they've taken to Reddit and they said, look, my name's Sarah. I had my engagement party in the last couple of weeks.

And, you know, we spent a lot of money, me and my fiance, on inviting all our friends and putting on drinks and dinner and all the rest of it. And it was great. It was awesome. And we were basking in the excitement of, you know, getting married soon and all our friends were there. And it was a friend of ours, which we'll call Nay, who decided she wanted to make an announcement.

Okay. So apparently Nay stands up. Better be about the bride-to-be at that stage. If you want to make a special announcement. So Nay stands up and she clinks on her drink. Ding, ding, ding, ding. I've got an announcement to make. This is big news, everyone.

So all the attention is on her now, right? Yep, it's her moment. She's making this big announcement. Yeah. And she announces that her and her husband are expecting their first baby. And then, you know, what would people do in that situation? Of course, they start congratulating them. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

You're not going to not congratulate them. Anyway, apparently Sarah, quite upset at this point. And one of her friends sees that she's quite upset and then apparently calls Nay out in front of everyone and was like, you know, do you think it's

really appropriate to be doing this at Sarah's engagement party? If you want a bloody baby announcement party, then you pay for your own baby announcement party. Anyway you want a bloody baby announcement party, then you pay for your own baby announcement party. Anyway, so then this bit of an argument broke out and then this friend was like, you guys should leave.

Oh no. It's so dramatic. We've talked about weddings and that being high pressure situations and it causes that sort of thing. I'm not defending it. I can see where Nay was coming from. She's just gone, oh, this is, everyone's here. These are all the people I care about.

Nah, I can't see it. Here's an efficient way to get the news to them in one go, you know? Selfish. And she may have gone, oh, you know what will make this event even more special? I've got more happy news to share. Nah, it's selfish. Stop trying to make

lemonade out of lemons. She was being selfish. She wanted the attention. The only time, why would she do that? Because she wanted the attention to be on her. Or she just didn't think about it. Bad room read. It's a bad thunder-stealing room read.

Like when people propose at a wedding? No, that's 100% off limits. I hate that. That's 100%. To be honest, if someone proposed to me at someone else's wedding, I'd say no. No, you'd go, bad room read, bro. I'd go, no thanks. No thanks.

Not now. I would've if you'd proposed to me at our hotel room after the wedding. Why are you doing it at someone else's day? Yeah, yeah, yeah. No. No, thank you. Yeah, at the hotel. Yeah, yeah. Away from everyone else, maybe. Anyway, I thought we could ask people on 0800 Dial ZM, has someone stolen your thunder? What did they do? It could have been at an engagement party.

It could have been at your wedding, birthday party. You know, just those moments where, I mean, it is meant to be about you and someone thought, no, I'm going to make this about me. It could have been like it like a personal life achievement. Like you might have finally cracked your dream job or something like that. And the same day that you got that news, your brother won lotto, you know? And all of a sudden your news, oh, not that. I mean, it's all right, but it's no million dollar lotto win, is it? Not the brother's fault.

No, not the brother's fault, but it still stole your thunder, didn't it? Yeah, it did. But can you imagine, brother? You're still in trouble to be pissed off. I can't help it. How much damage has it been done? Because I'll pay you. I'll give you money for it.

Yeah, how much money do you want? Oh, $100 in him. You can text it to 9696. We want to know this afternoon. When did someone steal your thunder? Bree and Clint. Fight has broken out between friends because one friend decided she would announce her pregnancy

at the other friend's engagement party. Bad friending. And then a part of the story I missed, but apparently after they announced, you know, that they were pregnant at their friend's engagement party, they were like, everyone get a drink. Like, everyone get a drink. And it was obviously the bar was being paid by her friends

who were getting engaged, who were engaged. But she was like, everyone get a drink. Let's all toast. Yeah, just the worst room read, you know? Like, she goes over to the bride and says, you don't seem happy for me. I'd literally go, get out of my way. Seriously?

You just got yourself uninvited to the wedding. So we're talking thunder stealers this afternoon. Did someone do it to you? Or maybe you stole someone else's thunder. Genevieve has called up. Hi, Genevieve. Hi, Genevieve. Hi.

What happened? How did someone steal your thunder? My twin cousins were born three hours after me, so stolen from birth. What's more impressive than one new baby? Two new babies. It's a miracle. Yeah. Yeah.

And, like, there's, like, 22 grandchildren, so I was just, like, the eighth one, but they were the first twins. They were the first twins. They were the first twins. No! I mean, you know, pretty exciting though, twins. I mean, how exciting. Oh, no, I fell into the trap. Yeah, yeah.

Exactly. Your birthday. We'll just fold your birthday in with the twins' birthday. Yeah, you guys can just have an all-jointed birthday. We'll just do a triple birthday, you know? That'll be easier, eh, Genevieve? Oh, that is all we've ever done. I feel for you, Genevieve, you poor soul. Chelsea easier, eh Genevieve? Ah, that is all we've ever done. I feel for you

Genevieve, you poor soul. Chelsea's here. Hi Chelsea. G'day Chelsea. Hello. Um, so it's wedding day for me and one of the guests bought us new girlfriends for us. We're doing our dues. We're going to say congrats with everyone, get photos. We're offering champagne and she goes, no thank you,

I'm pregnant. And everyone starts congratulating them instead of us. At your wedding? At my wedding after we'd just walked down the aisle to meet Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. This is just after you guys said your

I do's. Yep. We'd walked down the aisle, the music stopped, champagne was going around and she said, no thank you, I'm pregnant. Chelsea, did you keep it together, or what did you say? I very swiftly turned away, and my beautiful maid of honour got the hint and sorted that one out quite quickly. That's what they're there to do.

They're there to put out fires for you. The worst bit is, it sounds like she wasn't even someone that you intentionally invited. You described her as your brother's new girlfriend. That makes it even worse. Like she wasn't. I never met her. What? You never even met her.

Wow, now she's a part of your history forever. My blood is boiling, you poor thing. Can you imagine all the photos that you would have had to get afterwards? Like where you're standing next to her and you're greeting your two friends. There's probably a photo of the exact moment, right? Yeah. There's probably a photo of the toast to the new baby. Good stuff, Chelsea.

Hey, good that we can laugh about it now, eh? Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. What do they call the baby? Thunder? Bree and Clint. No. Hey. It's my birthday.

It's my birthday. Bree and Clint's birthday banger. All right, three people's birthdays. What was number one on their 16th? Let's play the best one. Let's talk to Samantha. Hey, Samantha. Hi, Sam.

Hi. How are you? I'm good, thanks. How are you? Oh, yeah, not too bad. Sam, what's your birthday? 22nd of September, 1991. All right, Sam, you were 16 in 2007.

And on the 22nd of September in 2007, this had a number one hit. You've got a stripper song, Sam. Yeah, that's a nice one. That's really good. Remember that when you were 16, Sam? Oh, yeah. Yeah, definitely. Hitting the clubs and Nelson.

Yeah, nice. Okay, wait there, Sam. It's definitely a contender. Let's go to Bradley. Kia ora, Bradley. G'day, Brad. I think we might have just lost him. We'll see if we can get Brad back.

It's the winner of birthday banger today from Bruce Springsteen. Absolutely love that. And I talked about earlier in the show,

but he was signed by a guy called Clive Davis. And if you don't know who that is, you should go to Netflix and watch the doco. It's called The Soundtrack of Our Lives, and it's incredible. Yeah. It's about all of these people, which this guy, Clive Davis, who never thought he'd be in the music world, he kind of just fell into it.

And he signed people like Janis Joplin and Bruce Springsteen and Barry Manilow and Whitney Houston and Alicia Keys and Busta Rhymes and P. Diddy. I mean, the list goes on and on. What was his special skill? Was he just able to pick a star? Is that what it was? He said, it's quite interesting, he lost both of his parents

when he was really young and he was always going to become a lawyer because that's just what, you know, people in his kind of era did. Yeah. Anyway, so he got his law degree and then he just kind of fell into the music world where he ended up being a lawyer for a music-like company. Yeah. And he said for him it was literally just a feeling he got.

Yeah. And he always trusted his feeling. Yeah. He couldn't explain it. He goes, I just felt it. It was something I felt. I'm so keen to watch that. Go watch it tonight because they're taking it off Netflix soon.

Are they? Yeah. Why do they do that? I don't know. He's probably suing them. Maybe. Yeah, right? If you're going to be a lawyer, that's the fun kind of,

I don't know anything about being a lawyer, but that sounds like the fun one to be, right? You don't going to be a lawyer, that's the fun kind of, I don't know anything about being a lawyer, but that sounds like the fun one to be, right? You don't want to be like a tax lawyer or something. He wasn't a lawyer in the end. He ended up taking over the whole company as like an executive and he just fell into it. He doesn't even know how. Anyway, he's still working to this day at 80-something years old

in the industry. Crazy. Someone send him some Kiwi demo tapes. Yeah, right. Get the Michael Murphy single over to him. It's not too late, you know. Brian Clint. A New Zealander has posted on Reddit

asking if what he is experiencing is a potential COVID-19 symptom and whether he needs to go and get a test, you know. Because what are some of the symptoms people have been saying? Runny nose, sore throat, lack of smell. Big boobs. No, that's a side effect of the vaccine.

MIQ for a few weeks regardless of the test results. You know, just to get him out of the house. Get him out of mum's hair. Give mum a chance to open the curtains and open the windows in his bedroom for a bit and wash the sheets and just air the room out. Do you reckon that was the same guy that
