Did you pack your platform Crocs? I did. I also have got my eyebrows laminated for this evening. I've never heard of a laminated brow before.
Starting point is 00:06:17 Can you explain? Essentially, it's like a perm, but for your eyebrows. But it makes them like soft So then you can kind of shape them and style them in any way you want So why laminate? Because when you say laminate I think about going to the staff room when I was at school And getting like the instructions for how to use the toilet
Starting point is 00:06:39 On an A4 piece of paper covered in plastic Yeah, it kind of just makes your eyebrows feel fuller. Right. Yeah. Laminated. That's what I think. Yeah, eyebrow laminated. Yeah, right.

To laminate is to overlay with a layer of plastic or some other protective material. Yeah, I know, but did you Google eyebrow lamination? No, I'm just saying that's what laminate means. Yeah, maybe they picked the wrong word for it.

Starting point is 00:12:43 Those people in the background weren't much help, were they? No, they were like, I don't know, mate. You're on your own. Bree and Clint. I feel like a woman. Is it in Bree and Clint that Shania Twain and Man I Feel Like a Woman, who yesterday won a People's Choice Award? I am ready to kick a door down after hearing that song.
Starting point is 00:13:00 Remember her remix we talked about yesterday? Oh, I think you're special. Oh, I think you're something else. Remember her remix we talked about yesterday? I watched the clip of it because that was at the People's Choice Awards and Ryan Reynolds was there. Yeah. And the camera cuts to him and he goes, he looks at someone, he laughs and he looks at someone and he goes, did she say me? And obviously someone went, yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:30 And he goes, oh, yeah, I've made it. Who would it be if she performed that song in New Zealand? It would be, okay, so you think you're Dan Carter. That don't impress me. Imagine if she got the references wrong and someone set her up and they're like, say David Seymour. Do it. Say Simon Bridges.
Starting point is 00:13:47 Yeah. And people are like, yeah, that's pretty standard. All right. An 18-year-old student has been elected mayor of a small East Arkansas city, becoming the youngest person to serve as a mayor. I think ever. Surely you don't get any younger than 18. How slow did you get that sentence out?
Starting point is 00:14:15 I was fact-checking myself as I went. It was like this. Becoming the youngest person ever to become mayor. I, I think we need to not be afraid of pauses. Dramatic pauses, I agree. I think you nailed it. I think there's too much air filling going on on this show. I agree. Too much
Starting point is 00:14:36 hot air filling. So how young is he? He's 18. So I'm just trying some more dramatic pauses. Oh, now you're doing it. God, it makes me uncomfortable. Oh, please don't do it. Whoa, 18?
Starting point is 00:14:51 That's too long. His name's Jalen Smith. He's also black and he's the mayor in Arkansas in the south, isn't it? I believe so, yeah. So that's momentous. He has been elected the mayor of Earl. He won with 235 votes. Jeez, how small is this place?
Starting point is 00:15:09 Over the other candidate who got 183 votes. Jeez. The whole town consists of 1,800 people. That is a small place. 500 of them voted. I assume some are kids. So not everyone voted. No, but not everyone ever votes. Yeah, true.
Starting point is 00:15:25 That's how we ended up with Wayne Brown as the Mayor of Auckland. Wayne Brown. How old was Wayne Brown? He's Trump age. He's 18 and he's the Mayor. We talked on this show you were away, but earlier this year we talked
Starting point is 00:15:43 to New Zealand's youngest Mayor. He's the mayor. We talked on this show, you were away, but earlier this year we talked to New Zealand's youngest mayor. He's the mayor of Gore. His name is Ben Bell. He's mayor at 23. Oh, but he's not 18 though, is he? No, he's not 18. Yeah. He's got five more laps around the sun on Mayor Jalen Smith. You're right. It's still very young.
Starting point is 00:15:59 I'm talking about the disconnect, like the amount of difference in age between how old you expect somebody to be to do a job like that. Oh, totally. And how old these people actually are. Well, I was talking to my partner yesterday because our dog Whitney had to go to the vet. Yeah. And we were talking about apparently the vet was really young.
Starting point is 00:16:20 How young? Like 13? Like 22, 23? Yeah. Something like that? Well, it's about what age they finished vet school, isn't it? She looked about, yeah, she looked about 20. Right.
Starting point is 00:16:30 She looked quite young, but I think she was about 23, 24. It's unnerving, eh? And you're like, God, you're so successful. I think that's why they make doctors study for so long. It's not because they have to learn so much stuff. It's so that when you go and see them, you're not put off by how young they are. Yeah. So they don't release them from medical school
Starting point is 00:16:46 until their mid-30s. Can I not have the teenager delivering my baby, please? Like, you imagine you went to your GP and they're 25. I'd feel so uncomfortable. They diagnose you and you're like, how do you know? Yeah. How long have you been on this planet? Oh, we're judgmental.
Starting point is 00:17:06 I thought we could ask the question this afternoon. Were you a really young something? Jalen is a really young mare. Even Ben Bell in Gore is a really young mare. Super young. Lydia Ko was a really young number one, world's number one golfer, you know, at age 16, 15, 16, 17. 17?
Starting point is 00:17:28 In her teens. She was really young. Because tennis players break into the professional leagues quite young too. But do they win? Yeah. Well, like Serena Williams was real young. Like there's heaps of players that do. Obviously a lot of players that don't.
Starting point is 00:17:44 But there's some players like I can't remember. I remember watching this doco and there was real young. Like there's heaps of players that do, obviously a lot of players that don't, but there's some players like, I can't remember, I remember watching this doco and there was this one, he was 17 and he won the US Open or something. Crazy. Like crazy young. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:53 Like Naomi Osaka. Yes. Oh, Andrew Diles at M, or you can text it into 9696. We want to know about you this afternoon. Were you a really young something? Doesn't have to be a world champion,
Starting point is 00:18:04 just something. Were you a really young something. Doesn't have to be a world champion, just something, where you are really young. Just whatever it is. Brian Clint. America has got its youngest ever mayor. It's a really small town of 1,800 people, but that's not the point. Jalen Smith is 18 years old, and he's the mayor of... Earl.
Starting point is 00:18:21 Earl. Do you reckon people voted for him because they thought that it was Will Smith's kid? Oh, Jaden Smith. It's pretty close. Nah, he got 235 votes and won. I reckon he just put a post up on his Instagram story. Vote for me, please. And won.
Starting point is 00:18:38 Yeah. That's how easy it is. That's the margins that you operate on. So we're asking you, were you a really young something? We're getting a lot of texts in from young teachers at the moment. A lot of young teachers. Which is so true. You only have to study for three years.
Starting point is 00:18:53 Well, not only. You study for three years to be a teacher. They're on holidays at the moment. Says the guy who didn't complete his two-year degree. You study for three years to become a teacher. So you could leave school at 18 and then be back at the same school that you graduated from three years ago at
Starting point is 00:19:11 21, teaching kids who were 15 when you left who are 18 now. They'd be like, Oi, I'm not going to listen to you. You were just here. You were literally just here. You're a few grades above me. Rebecca's here.
Starting point is 00:19:27 Hi, Rebecca. Hi, Rebecca. Hi. You were really young something. Yes. So I got registered as a psychologist when I was 22, about to turn 23. What? Wow.
Starting point is 00:19:40 I know that becoming a psychologist, it's quite a lot of study, isn't it, Rebecca? It's six years. Yeah. Yeah. Wait, how did you squeeze in six years of study? So I was 17 turning 18 when I started. So then at 23, I was 22, 23. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:58 Wow, that's incredible. That's a pretty heavy job for a 23-year-old. Yeah, yeah, the imposter syndrome is real. Yeah. Wow, psychologist, at least you could diagnose yourself with imposter syndrome like i think i'm suffering with this okay thank you that's fascinating someone else said i qualified as a midwife when i was 21 21 that's so you can't deliver this baby you are a a baby. 21, wow. Someone texted in which sums up everything for me. Young pilots freak me out. Me too.
Starting point is 00:20:30 No offence to the young pilots. I'm sure they're very capable. Well, relatively capable. It's just something about when you look at a pilot and you think they can't grow a beard yet. They seem to only give the young pilots the small planes as well. And it's the small planes that freak me out the most. I want the most experienced pilot possible
Starting point is 00:20:50 flying this tiny tin can, please. He's like, hey, welcome aboard, guys. I'm almost restricted. I need to get this plane down before 10pm. And I'm not allowed to have any passengers. Because I can't drive my car home. I'm actually on my restricted. Mackenzie's here. Hi Mackenzie.
Starting point is 00:21:10 Hi Mackenzie. Hi. Hi. Were you a young something? Yes, I started university when I was 16. Pardon me? Mackenzie, were you are you like a gifted person? I don't think so. University of Waikato will let,
Starting point is 00:21:28 and I'll plug this because I think it's really awesome for any high school student, is that if you've got level two with merit endorsement or better, they let you take two papers for free while you are doing year 13. Really? That's amazing. I thought you were going to say
Starting point is 00:21:44 Waikato University let anyone in. No, they are somewhat fussy. It makes me feel good because, yeah, I'm about to go get it with my master. Kenzie, what were you studying? Cellular molecular biology. Okay. Get out of here, Mackenzie. So you are a gifted person.
Starting point is 00:22:01 Right. You were studying cellular molecular biology at the age of 16. Damn it, Mackenzie. You're gifted and you're humble. Right. You were studying cellular molecular biology at the age of 16. Damn it, Kenzie, you're gifted and you're humble. Oh. Kenzie's like, nah, I wouldn't say I'm gifted. And she knows what you're made of down to a cellular level. Yeah, I bet. Genetics
Starting point is 00:22:18 is my thing, so yep, I can pull you apart. Don't worry. I love it, Kenzie. Thank you. I appreciate the call. It's really, really good. Someone said I was a 10-year- appreciate the call. It's really, really good. Someone said I was a 10-year-old caterer. What? Really. Is that legal?
Starting point is 00:22:31 Working alongside my dad. I hope your dad was paying you at least minimum wage. What about this one? They said I became a property manager at 19. I'm now 24 and people are only just starting to take me seriously. Totally. You would show up to do the property inspection and they would think you were there trying to rent one of the rooms. They'd go, sorry, bro, we've filled the room.
Starting point is 00:22:50 And you go, no, no, no, I'm the boss. I'm the property manager. And they'd go, sure you are. Do you want to do a kickstand? You're like, okay. Well, yes, I do. While I'm here. Bree and Clint from iHeartRadio.
Starting point is 00:23:02 This is the latest. This is really sad news to wake up to today, but Celine Dion has opened up about a disease that's incurable that she has been diagnosed with. Yeah. And has been suffering with for quite a number of years. So the syndrome is called stiff person syndrome or SPS and it's a condition that's so rare it only affects one in one million.
Starting point is 00:23:31 Yeah, right. That's super rare. We've got a piece of audio of her. This is the statement she released on her social media. I've been dealing with problems with my health, have been diagnosed with a very rare neurological disorder called stiff person syndrome. We now know this is what's been causing
Starting point is 00:23:52 all of the spasms that I've been having and not allowing me to use my vocal cords to sing the way I'm used to. That is brutal. Anybody, anytime, I mean, anytime somebody gets something like this, it's tragic. Anytime a gifted person loses the ability to do the thing they are gifted with. That they were born to do, yeah. Yeah, it's so upsetting.
Starting point is 00:24:14 Same with Michael J. Fox when he wasn't able to act anymore. It's like the news that broke this year about Bruce Willis. Yes. Can't remember his lines. Yeah, couldn't remember his lines. Apparently his health is really deteriorating now. It's just horrible and I feel so
Starting point is 00:24:30 bad for her because I did some more research where apparently because it's such a rare condition, it takes years and years to get a diagnosis. And by then it's probably quite far gone. Well, it's one of those things where there's not all that much research that's been done where there's not all that much research
Starting point is 00:24:45 that's been done, so there's not all that much that they can do, but they can put them on drugs that slow down the process and stuff. So thoughts with Celine Dion and her family right now. That's horrible news. Absolutely. How good is Celine Dion? She's so good and so damn talented. Brie and Clint.
Starting point is 00:25:11 Knees, knees. I'm so excited for five o'clock. I'm not. I'm so excited. Here we go again. Every Friday. Yeah, here we go again. Sounds like you burst a blood capillary.
Starting point is 00:25:31 It's as high as I could get that last bit. Hey, look, we've all done it before where you've lended someone some money. Or you've lent them some money. Yeah, that's the right way to say it. I read this story and just thought, oh, this makes me feel so uncomfortable. So a woman has said she lent her sister's partner $1,000 so he could buy an engagement ring so it would go undetected from their joint bank account. Oh, that's nice of her to support him, her future brother-in-law.
Starting point is 00:26:04 Very nice for her to support her sister and her future brother-in-law. Anyway, he said, look, I'll pay you back once I've popped the question and it's all done and dusted. Right. You know, obviously, because then she'll be able to know. Yeah, then he'll go, how do I transfer this money to your sister? She said that was about a month ago and he hasn't mentioned repaying her again. Has he proposed?
Starting point is 00:26:29 He's proposed. She said yes. She said yes. She's got the ring. Got the ring. It's all done and dusted. And she said, look, she's saying I'm not desperate for the money, but Christmas is around the corner and, you know, things can be a little tight.
Starting point is 00:26:44 You might not be desperate for it, but $1,000 is not an amount, an inconsequential amount of money that you just forget that you lent someone. You can forget that you lent someone $50 or you covered somebody's meal at the BYO or something. That's something that can slip your mind. A grand? Not a grand. She kind of is asking, should I ask him? Should I say, you can pay me back in installments?
Starting point is 00:27:10 Like, it's getting a bit awkward now because it's been quite a long time. She clearly feels uncomfortable about asking him, but she should just straight up ask him. I feel like it's... Go, hey, congrats on the proposal. When do you think you can get me that $1,000 back? Yeah, I feel like it's quite a d-bag move um to just say nothing like if you're really strapped and you don't have the money at the time like even just say that be like hey i know i owe you that money i'm gonna get it back
Starting point is 00:27:36 to you this is kind of where i'm at well rather than saying nothing no don't know not when it comes to an engagement ring don't borrow the money if you don't have the money. That's not what he said, though. He didn't say, hey, I'm short of cash to get an engagement ring. He said, I just need to cover my trails, cover my tracks. He should have paid her back the morning after he proposed. Makes it even worse. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:00 It's so uncomfortable, too, being the person that has lent someone money and asking for it. You're all in a really uncomfortable position. Imagine if she had to go back through her sister and she's like, hey, happy for you. Give me that ring. I paid for it. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:28:15 You know that ring you've got. He actually hasn't paid for it yet. I did. Technically, you're engaged to me. You know when it gets really awkward is when you see them in person. Yeah. And if they don't. And they don't mention it.
Starting point is 00:28:29 And they don't mention it. You're like. Do you think he could have genuinely forgotten? He could have genuinely forgotten. Could he? Oh, I just. A thousand dollars. Me as a person, I would never forget that.
Starting point is 00:28:40 I'd be so embarrassed if I ever forgot. Like a thousand dollars. It's a lot of money. I thought we could take calls this afternoon and ask people, has this happened to you? Have you lent someone money and did it go bad? Yeah, maybe you never saw the money again. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:57 Or maybe you just ruined your friendship. Maybe, yeah. Maybe it ended a friendship. Or maybe you want us to call them live on the radio this afternoon and get them to pay up. I want my 20 effing bucks. Are you imagining if we get a call from Karen? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:12 She lost 20 bucks. 0800 dial ZM or you can text us on 9696. Did you lend someone money and it went bad? Bree and Clint. Holy hell, that's Ben McDowell. Yeah. Producer Ben. I thought he was dead. He's back inowell. Yeah. Producer Ben. I thought he was dead.
Starting point is 00:29:27 He's back in the building. You keep saying RIP. Every time we mention him, you keep saying RIP. Ben, Ben, get on a mic. You know what Clint's been saying? Every time we mention your name, he goes, Producer Ben, he goes, RIP. Not dead, just dead to us.
Starting point is 00:29:40 Is that true? Is that true? Well, now that you're here, I can't lie to you. It is true. No, I'm alive. Anyone who leaves, dead to us. Just so it helps us emotionally disconnect. So you coming back here really opens up the wound, man.
Starting point is 00:29:55 Thanks a lot. Yeah. We just moved on. This is crazy. It's like a resurrection. Yeah. Do I need to apologize? Well, I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:30:03 I mean, a bottle of wine would be nice. Or six beers. Or six beers. Yeah. No. Ben's like, oh, that's why I got out of here. We're asking you guys this afternoon, who did you lend some money to?
Starting point is 00:30:14 And it went badly. You're like, oh, man, I was being so generous and now I wish I wasn't. And I've had the dirty done on me. A woman has lent $1,000 to her soon-to-be brother-in-law when he said, can I borrow some money because I want to buy an engagement ring, but I can't because we've got a joint bank account. It's a bit secret.
Starting point is 00:30:33 And now he hasn't mentioned it again. So awkward. Is he trying to, does he think she's going to forget about it? I don't know. Surely not. So we want to know, has this happened to you? Taylor's here. Hi, Taylor.
Starting point is 00:30:45 Hi, Taylor. Hi, Taylor. Hi. Tell us, who did you lend money to, Taylor? It was my ex-partner. Oh, no. How much was it? Six grand. Taylor.
Starting point is 00:30:57 Wait, did you lend it when they were your ex or when they were still your... When we were together. Right, okay. What did they need it for, Taylor? Well, he told me he was dying of lung cancer. Oh my God, Taylor. You're shitting me. And I'm assuming he wasn't.
Starting point is 00:31:14 He wasn't. Yeah, so he told me he won this competition. The competition was true, but he lied about winning. And he said, you know, I want to do this competition and I don't have the money, but I'll pay you back. And, you know, and then I was like, oh, shit. Well, I can't say no to someone that's dying of cancer. And I did it.
Starting point is 00:31:36 And then he started ghosting me after I gave him the money. And then my father's a policeman, so then he took me in for a statement. And then... He effed with the wrong family. He did. And then he got full charges. I don't know a lot,
Starting point is 00:31:55 but what I do know is you don't mess with a policeman's daughter. Oh, no. That's the worst person to mess with. Hey, Taylor, can I ask? Every girl's dad is scary, but particularly a policeman's daughter. You're an idiot. You're an idiot.
Starting point is 00:32:06 We always say dad is like the calm one. It's mum you've got to watch out for. Yeah, true, true, true. I love that, Taylor. Hey, how long were you guys together when this all went down? We had been together for two years. That's crazy. What?
Starting point is 00:32:19 Yeah. I was going to say, if you'd been together, you know, six months, I'd be like, oh, come on, Taylor, two years. Did you ever see the money ever again? After I took him to say, if you'd been together, you know, six months, I'd be like, oh, come on, Taylor, two years. Did you ever see the money ever again? After I took him to court, yeah. Did you get it all back? Yeah, because he lied and said that like I was a sponsorship, so it was a little bit bigger than what I'm saying it is.
Starting point is 00:32:39 I'm just leaving out a few details. That is so much juicier than we were expecting to get on this topic. Thanks, Taylor. He was in it for the long haul, two years. What a dirtbag. Mike's here. Hi, Mike. Hi, Mike.
Starting point is 00:32:52 Hey, guys. How's it going? Tell us, mate. Who did you lend money to when it went bad? So I lent some money to a business associate, a couple of grand that I lent him. Right. And we spent about six months chasing him
Starting point is 00:33:06 down trying to get the money back off him got about uh 500 bucks and then radio silence didn't hear from him uh tried to track him down through a few acquaintances uh turns out he jumped ship he uh left the country and went back to his home home country guess how he paid for those flights, Mike? Oh, I'm well aware of how he paid for those flights. Mike. All of my money. No, it turns out a few other people, he owed a few bits of money to. It sucks, eh? Because you were being trusting and you thought you were doing the right thing, helping out an associate
Starting point is 00:33:36 and you just get dumped. For sure. Mike, do you think it changed you, like that experience? Like, do you not lend anyone money anymore? Yeah, looking back, I just consider it a pretty cheap lesson and a lot to do with money in the future. Oh, you've got a good attitude, Mike.
Starting point is 00:33:53 You're a good person. Good that you think it was a cheap lesson, too. It definitely was. It could have been a lot more. True, true, true. It could have been a cheap lesson. All right, thanks, Mike. It does put you off.
Starting point is 00:34:03 Yeah, so many texts coming through. Someone said, this ended a friendship. My family lent a friend $10,000 as they were struggling. Never has paid us back, but the friend goes on holidays all the time. That would really grind your gears. Every time you check their Instagram story and they were doing something, you'd be like, I know how much that costs and I know how much you owe me.
Starting point is 00:34:27 I'd be so annoyed. One more text. Someone said, my brother has owed me 30 bucks for about three years. That dirtbag. 30 bucks. I lent my brother 1,200 bucks for his ute and he went on a bender. Oh, no. A $1,200 bender?
Starting point is 00:34:45 Lending siblings money never ends well. Because they don't legally have to pay you back. No. Bree and Clint. Time is waiting. You only get one second
Starting point is 00:34:59 of a song. No hesitating. You only got one second of a one second. Welcome to the One Second Song Challenge, our rapid-fire song-guessing game. We're playing for KFC Chicken Dollars. Alison, whose team do you want to be on?

Starting point is 00:39:42 Coming your way Yeah thank you. A lot of talk everywhere this week about the most searched things on Google this week. I've drilled a little bit deeper into the data and I've pulled out the most commonly asked questions by New Zealanders on Google. So it's not just topics. It's not like just typing in Wordle or Queen Elizabeth.
Starting point is 00:40:10 It's things that you're specifically going to Google to learn the answer to. Symptoms of a UTI. Yes, yeah. Stuff like that. So you would type in, what are the symptoms of a UTI? Or, do I have a UTI?
Starting point is 00:40:27 I've typed them all in. I've pulled some of the more interesting ones out. Okay. And I thought I can tell you what they are and then I'll give you the chance to answer it without Googling it. Is the UTI question in there? Because I can answer that one. No UTI questions.
Starting point is 00:40:41 Cranberry juice is a good start. Is that an old wives tale? No, it's not. It's not. It's not. Really? But not cranberry like, it needs to be cranberry juice. What about that ocean spray stuff that that Fleetwood Mac skateboarding guy was
Starting point is 00:40:57 drinking? I think that could be cranberry juice. Really? Yeah, but there's ones on the market that are like a cranberry cordial. Oh, right, that won't do it. Don't get confused. Like back before they changed the recipe to Ribena. I? Yeah, but there's ones on the market that are like a cranberry cordial. Oh, right, that won't do it. Don't get confused. Like back before they changed the recipe to Ribena. I was like, I am drinking so much of this cranberry juice and nothing's happening.
Starting point is 00:41:13 Okay, now a UTI question. First one, this is one of the most asked questions on Google in 2022. Can you answer it, Brie? Why is my poo green? Ooh, it's probably something you've eaten, I? Why is my poo green? Ooh. It's probably something you've eaten, I'd say. Something really green because I know that I've done poos before and it's really red and you freak out
Starting point is 00:41:33 and you remember you've drunk like a beetroot juice. So it's something green you've eaten. So much more information than I was bargaining for. Yes. Yes. Kind of. Green poo likely because food may have been moving through the large intestine too quickly. Yes. Kind of. Green poo, likely because food may have been moving through the large
Starting point is 00:41:48 intestine too quickly. Due to such things as diarrhea, other causes could be eating green food, colouring, leafy greens, taking iron supplements, or a lack of bile. Green juice will do it. TMI, Google. You drink too much green juice.
Starting point is 00:42:04 Okay, can you answer this, one of the other most asked questions on Google in 2022? Why is the sky blue? Why is the sky blue? Well, that is a great question. It's to do with the gases in the atmosphere. Not everything has to do with gases, okay? I don't understand the answer, but I'll give it to you really quickly. It's due to a scattering of tiny air molecules known as Rayleigh scattering.
Starting point is 00:42:33 It increases the wavelength of light, which decreases what? The violet blue light shortest wavelength. Just go with gases in the atmosphere. It's gases in the atmosphere. Wow, I got it right again. Okay, this is one of the most asked questions on Google in New Zealand in 2022. And I'm going to see if Bree can answer these without Googling them. Why is the Sky Tower that colour?
Starting point is 00:42:55 The Sky Tower, as in the colour, like the lights? Yes, the colours they light the Sky Tower up. The lights of the Sky Tower usually coincide with something that they're celebrating or an event that's on or, you know, so for like Pride Month, they'll light the tower a rainbow. Well done. Yes. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:18 I thought you were going to say gas. And it depends on the gas in the light bulbs. One of the most asked questions on Google this year, why is Snapchat not working? Why is Snapchat not working? I think it has something to do with the gas in the air. No one knows why Snapchat is not working. Who's still using...
Starting point is 00:43:42 Even the people at Snapchat don't know why it's not working. Why is plain yogurt good for females? Plain yogurt? Plain yogurt. It's something about... Plain Greek yogurt. It's something about the... No, wait. I'll get it.
Starting point is 00:43:59 It's the something... The... The... Probiotic? Is, the probiotic. Is it the probiotic, natural probiotic in the yogurt? And why is it specifically good for women? It is good for UTIs. You know what? Kind of close.
Starting point is 00:44:16 Yes! You can help increase the helpful bacteria by eating foods such as yogurt. The good bacteria in yogurt may also help your vagina by balancing acid levels. I think I've googled that before actually. And the most searched question on Google in New Zealand this year I think this is one that's coming specifically from
Starting point is 00:44:36 you Bree. What is the best eggplant recipe? Is that actually one of them? Nah I just wanted to put one in to piss you off. I know how much you hate eggplant. Okay. Bree and Clint. Is that actually one of them? No, I just wanted to put one in to piss you off. Oh, thank God. I know how much you hate e-cards. Brie and Clint. All right, it's Friday.
Starting point is 00:44:53 That means it's time for Friday-oke. And now it's time for Brie and Clint's most popular segment, Friday-oke. I love Friday-oke. It's the best. I listen every Friday. I never miss Friday Oki Thanks Brian Clint You've made my Friday again
Starting point is 00:45:09 Friday Oki It's our weekly singing contest Where Brian and I go head to head We spend 15 minutes with a professional Who makes us sound as good as possible He adds things like reverb And auto-tune. Auto-tune if necessary.
Starting point is 00:45:28 Makes it as good as possible. Shout out to Sam. He actually... He's the backbone of the segment. He really is. He takes the turds, he polishes, he rolls them in glitter, and then you listen to them and they're still pretty average. But he does his best.
Starting point is 00:45:41 He does his best. It's not his capability, it's ours. They're in the country right now, so we're going to do Guns N' Roses. You're going to see them
Starting point is 00:45:54 tomorrow at Eden Park. A bunch of people saw them last night at Sky Stadium. Can't wait. I've got my Guns N' Roses t-shirt ready. I knew it would come in handy.
Starting point is 00:46:02 One day, eh? They've got so many bangers that people know every word to. So we've decided to do this song, Welcome to the Jungle. What you're about to hear is my Welcome to the Jungle, and then straight afterwards you're going to hear Bree's Welcome to the Jungle. Oh, my God. It's up to you to decide who wins. Okay, listening, we're going to need you for this

Starting point is 00:47:26 And I was here for it. I knew it wasn't good, but I didn't think it was going to be that weak. I don't know if rock is your genre. Maybe just not Guns N' Roses this week. What we do is we lay down our vocals and then we leave. We never hear the mix afterwards until right now. You know what I've just realised is we haven't played mine, so I'm. We never hear the mix afterwards. Until right now. You know what I've just realised is we haven't played mine
Starting point is 00:47:47 so I'm going to shut my mouth. That was good. I think it was on tune. Had a bit of rock vibe. Do you think I've got Axl energy? I think so. 100%.

Mine sounded like this. Welcome to the jungle. I'll bring you to your... I feel like maybe he didn't put the reverb on mine or something.
Starting point is 00:49:58 I feel like it's lacking something. Someone texted and said, Clint, that was like getting punched in the face by a fly. Weak. That was my favourite text this week. Or Clint, you sound like my 1992 diesel Hilux cold starting in the winter with your na-na-na-na-na-na-nas.

Starting point is 00:51:59 Hi, Grace. G'day, Grace. Hi. You can give Brie the victory here or you can push us to a decider. What do you think of our Guns N' Roses? 100% Bree. She has a strong voice. Perfect.

Starting point is 00:52:29 She's the champion. She's the ultimate Guns N' Roses rock chick. Welcome to the jungle. Watch it, bring it to you. Maybe I should ask to get on stage tomorrow night. Maybe you should. Bit of Axl. Or maybe you should just have five drinks and stay in your seat. I won't have five drinks then. I'll have to have two.
Starting point is 00:52:54 Bree and Clint. Come on. Here we go. Birthday banger for a Friday. We'll get you home. Three people. You call us up. We take your birthdays.
Starting point is 00:53:08 We figure out what was the number one song on your 16th, and then we'll play our favourite one. Let's go to Vicky. Kia ora, Vicky. G'day, Vicky. Yeah. Hi, guys. How are you doing?
Starting point is 00:53:17 How are you, Vicky? How's your week been? Good. Good. Good. Good. Good. Good.

Starting point is 00:53:23 Good. Good. Good. Good. Good. Good. Good. Good. Good. Good. Good. Good. Good. good. Yeah, it's Friday. I heard it's your... It's Friday. Yeah. Just flying her jet plane home. It's very windy, Vicky.
Starting point is 00:53:29 Are you in a convertible? Are you on a scooter? Uh, no, no. It's raining. Are you running through a tunnel, Vicky? It must be pouring. Whereabouts are you, Vicky? I'm in Mangere.
Starting point is 00:53:42 Oh, right. Oh, I gotcha. Hey, Vicky, when's your birthday? 13th of December, 1971. Oh, happy birthday for next week, Vicky. You were 16, though, in 1987. And let me take you back to your 16th birthday. Here's your song.
Starting point is 00:53:59 And I'm going to give you up. I'm going to let you down. I'm going to run around and let you down. You got Rick Rolled, Vicky. Yeah. Rick Astley. Do you like it? Yeah, I've seen him live.
Starting point is 00:54:16 He's not too bad. Really? I reckon there's a high chance Brie votes for that one as well. I don't mind getting Rick Rolled, if you know what I mean, Vicky. Right there, Vic. Angela's here. Hi, Angela. G'day, Ange.
Starting point is 00:54:27 Hi there, how are you? Good, thanks. What are you up to for the weekend, Ange? It's all about the kids this weekend. Dancing. Dancing?
Starting point is 00:54:35 What type of dance? Jazz, both of them. Are you a dance mom? Yeah, I am. I found myself to be a dance mom. You're a dance mum, yeah. Hey, Ange, how many kids do you have?
Starting point is 00:54:48 Four officially, but two that I birthed. Okay, two that you birthed. I think it's four officially, but eight. Now tell us, just between us, who's the best dancer? I can't. They're in the palace. No, that's the right answer, Ange. That is the right answer. They're all the best dancers., that's the right answer, Ange. That is the right answer.
Starting point is 00:55:05 They're all the best answers. All right, Ange, what's your birthday? 1st of December, 1983. Happy birthday for a couple of weeks ago. Or last week, sorry. You were 16, though, in 1999. And here's your birthday banger. A little bit of Monica in my life.
Starting point is 00:55:22 A little bit of Erica by my side. Ange. It's a good jazz song. Fun fact, these are all the names of Angela's kids as well. Yeah. Mary, Angela, Jessica. And Rita. Sandra.
Starting point is 00:55:39 Do you like it, Ange? It's not bad. You sing along to it, you can't help it. It's a bit of fun, eh? It's a bit of fun, absolutely. Okay, wait there. We'll do one more birthday banger for Kim. Kia ora, Kim.
Starting point is 00:55:50 G'day, Kim. Hi, how are you? Good, thanks, mate. How's your week been? Busy, but good now that it's Friday. Mate, you're on the Homewood stretch now here. We're all just cruising on into Christmas now. To oblivion.
Starting point is 00:56:06 Yeah, to oblivion. Hey, let's get your weekend going. What's your birthday Kim? The 6th of May 1987. Alright, that means you were 16 in 2003. Back on the 6th of May in 2003 this would have been number one.
Starting point is 00:56:26 Oh, banger. Total banger. Total banger. Good one, Kim. Kim, you and me were 16 in the same year. This is a banger. Okay, wait there. Tough decision.
Starting point is 00:56:39 Mumbo number five, Indie Club or Rick Astley? I'm torn between two. You're going to vote or Rick Astley? I'm torn between two. You're going to vote for Rick Astley, aren't you? I reckon I'm voting for one of the songs that's not on your top two, so I'm just going to go out and vote for 50 Cent right now. Oh, that's the other one I was tossing up between. Oh, is it? Okay. All right, we might reach a consensus.
Starting point is 00:56:59 I really, just for the gag of Rick rolling you, I really want to pick... If you send it to a split vote, it will go to honorary guest return producer McDowell, Ben McDowell, to pick the winner. I just kind of want to do that. All right, Ben, what's your decision? Oh, you've got to vote, sorry.
Starting point is 00:57:16 Rick Astley. Rick Astley. Ben, you've got Mumbo No. 5, 50 cent in the club, or Rick Astley never going to give you up. What's it going to be? Probably Rick Astley never going to give you up? What's it going to be? Probably Rick Astley. No.
Starting point is 00:57:28 He's come all the way back to the show. Why not? And he's Rickrolled it. I like your style, Ben McDowell. He's Rickrolled it. You're a spy working for the opposition now, aren't you? This is... Yeah.
Starting point is 00:57:43 Rickroll. This is a shock! Ring roll! This is a shocker. I like it. The New Zealand Broadcasting Standards Authority have released their top complaints of the year that people have made about us, television and radio. I saw Matty McLean from The Breakfast Show post about one that was made about him.
Starting point is 00:58:04 Yeah, he's a shocker, that Matty McLean. Yeah, he's bloody potty mouth. Oh, isn't he the worst? He's such a shock jock. Yeah. He's just so risque, isn't he? Across TV and radio, the worst offenders were in number three, Morning Report from National Radio.
Starting point is 00:58:19 13 complaints. News Hub, 25 major complaints. Right., 25 major complaints. Right. And One News, 29 major complaints to the BSA. Yeah. From that, all of them were dismissed. They went, oh yeah, cool complaint.
Starting point is 00:58:34 Nah. Doesn't pass. That's the thing about a complaint. It either gets upheld or it doesn't. And they will never see it. If it doesn't get upheld by the BSA, they may never see it. Yeah. Until this list comes out. These are the standout, some of the standout
Starting point is 00:58:46 complaints from 2022. Oh God, what stands out? Matty McLean on Breakfast TV. That one stood out, yep. For his use of the phrase fussy puss. Talking about cats and being fussy when they're eating their food. In reference to cat food being
Starting point is 00:59:01 allegedly sexual. Oh, he's being sexual in reference to catfood. That's what the complaint was. Yeah, because when I think sexy, I think catfood. The complainant said the presenters and guests' use of the phrases fussy puss and our pussy's fussy breached the good taste and decency and children's interest standards. Not upheld.
Starting point is 00:59:24 That's why we can say it, not upheld. So they said, nah, that's all right. One news sport got a complaint when they spoke to the captain of the Southland rugby team and he was asked, what do you have to say to your doubters? And he said, they can shove it up their ass. That's fine. On the six o'clock news.
Starting point is 00:59:42 Yeah, well, I mean, fine with me. Well, I guess it turns out it is fine because it's not upheld. If I was watching it, I wouldn't put in a complaint. Mike Hosking described the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, as a shallow, self-absorbed, attention-seeking, woke, bandwagon-riding hussy. Oh. I feel like that one probably should have been upheld. That was not the best.
Starting point is 01:00:07 Not upheld. And the project said, happily, we don't have many Americans in New Zealand. Not upheld. It's all good for us to sit here and throw stones from our glasshouse. Oh, no. What have you done? There are several moments from our show,
Starting point is 01:00:26 which I spoke to our bosses about, which came very, very close to being upheld for broadcasting standards. And I don't know who features in these complaints, so I'm just going to play them. Okay, we're just going to play these. This is bull crap. There's a stitch-up.
Starting point is 01:00:39 These are real complaints, okay? I don't believe you. They may or may not be from our show. Okay, I'll get you a shiitake mat and I'll go on the shakti mat. I'd be much more comfortable with a shiitake mat. Yeah. Shikaki? Oh!
Starting point is 01:00:53 No, don't say that word, no! I didn't even say it! The complainant said the announcer was very clearly trying to say boo-ka. Oh, you nearly said it! But I didn't. You're going to complaincut. Oh, you nearly said it. But I didn't. You're going to complain now. Anyway, you can say it, not upheld. I'm not saying it, nah.
Starting point is 01:01:11 Here's another one that came very close to being complained about. Are boobs a muscle? Boobs are fat, aren't they? Boobs are fat, like pH fat, eh? Man, those are some fat titties. Oh, sorry. Yeah, well, I could see that one. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:01:27 How is that not upheld? Yeah. How did that one make it through? Not upheld. One last complaint that very nearly made it to the BSA this year. I hear what you're saying. You like them thick. I like it thick, yeah.
Starting point is 01:01:41 You're a thick daddy. I'm a thick boy. You want some thickness up in your business. That complainant said, the announcer needs to grow the hell up. That one, upheld. Have you seen the new product that Dyson are about to drop? I have.
Starting point is 01:02:06 This is wild. And people are calling it the most controversial product for Dyson to date because obviously they bought out that hair wrap contraption. Yeah, I don't feel like their products are that controversial normally. This one is. This one is. But they do really good vacuum cleaners, really good fans, and really good hair stuff, it turns out.
Starting point is 01:02:28 But this product, I was like, have they overstepped? It's quite far outside the Dyson realm, but let's go through the details. So apparently Dyson has set to release something called the Dyson Zone, which is a pair of noise-cancelling headphones that also cleans the air while you're breathing. It's got like a... It looks like an Iron Man helmet.
Starting point is 01:02:53 You know what it looks like to me? It looks like Ant-Man's helmet. Yeah. It's got like a mouthpiece that connects to both of the ear cups and comes down over your face. It's very, like, beyond 2000. It's very like beyond 2000. It's very Star Trek. The mouthpiece that is the air purifying thing
Starting point is 01:03:10 can detach from the headphones. Yeah. But yeah, it's very futuristic looking. I reckon it's going to cost a fortune. There's no prices on it yet, but I reckon it's going to cost heaps. So it's set to be released in January. So that's like right around the corner in China.
Starting point is 01:03:29 And in March, they'll release it in the US, UK, Hong Kong and Singapore. Yeah. Ever since COVID, people are too scared to even breathe. It's insane. Yeah. Would you wear one? Would you wear this Dyson headphone face mask thing? I mean, if someone gave me
Starting point is 01:03:47 a free one, I don't know if I'd pay like a heap of money. But like... Would you do five Instagram posts for it? I'd give it a whirl just to see what it was like. Okay, let me flip the question. You're on a bus. Yeah. And a guy
Starting point is 01:04:03 who's... He kind of seems kind of attractive decides to come and talk to you clearly trying to hit on you but he's wearing giant headphone Dyson face mask air purifier. Do you like, is it a turn on? Because he's like whoa he's so techno savvy and conscious
Starting point is 01:04:21 of the air that he breathes or is it a bit okay future boy jog on. I'd hope he'd take the mouthpiece off before he tried to talk to me. He'd be like, what did you say? Have you seen the new product that Dyson are about to drop? I have. This is wild. And people are calling it the most controversial product for Dyson to date
Starting point is 01:04:46 because obviously they brought out that hair wrap contraption. Yeah, I don't feel like their products are that controversial normally. This one is. This one is. But they do really good vacuum cleaners, really good fans, and really good hair stuff, it turns out. But this product, I was like, have they overstepped? It's quite far outside the Dyson realm, Like hair stuff, it turns out. But this product, I was like, have they overstepped?
