The ZM Podcast Network. Welcome everyone to the Rancor Podcast featuring Maddie McLean, producer Claudia and producer Ella and myself, Brie Thomasel. Such a good voice. Oh, thanks guys. Thanks. You should talk like that all the time. All the time.

Should we all do our best old school radio impression? That's a bit of fun. Oh, no. Come on, Ella. Okay, what song should we back announce, Claude? Do the Birthday Bangers. Okay, yep. Oh, Celine Dion, yeah.

Yeah, nice, nice. Who wants to go first? Can I do Wacky Radio? Yeah, do whatever you want. Go, go, go. You're on ZM, that was. My heart will go on by Celine Dion. We're on Wacky Radio.

Up next, we're going to sit on cakes without any pants on. We're going to drink two litres of milk until we throw up. Hey, I felt like that was an attack. Bree did that yesterday. I drank two litres of milk yesterday. Two litres? In one hour. Why? It was actually incredible. I didn't think you should have. I don two litres of milk yesterday. Two litres? In one hour. Why?

It was actually incredible. I didn't think you should have. I don't know how I did it. I don't think you should have. It was so, Clint dared me because there was this study that said that milk was more hydrating than water. Right. And then he, because I'm lactose intolerant, and he was like, if you drink you drink this liter of milk in an hour and i said you need to donate two hundred dollars to my charity walk and he said okay deal so i mean

you know i wasn't gonna turn down that bit yeah so i did it and i was violently for how long like how long does it sit with you for all night like literally, after I left the show, I couldn't make it to the car park, and I sat in the work bathrooms for half an hour. To be fair, I love a glass of milk, but give me a litre in an hour. Two litres. Two litres. Like a litre I think I would have been not too bad, but it affected me because I told the girls I threw up

and then just sat in the bathroom for ages. Like, before I went home. When we were leaving work, I really needed to pee, but I was like, I'm going to give you some privacy. I'll just pee in my own house. I'm so glad you didn't come in there because I would have been like, I'm thinking of you. Don't look at me! Don't even come near me! That is the worst, though, when you just need a bit of a privacy

in the work bathroom or in a public bathroom and you think you've got it and then someone comes in and interrupts you. It's always when everybody comes in at the same time. Yeah, why? I don't know. So annoying. Have you ever been in a bathroom where someone's having a real bad time? Or crying.

Crying? I hate it when you're crying in the bathroom and then people walk in and you're just like. How often are you crying in the bathroom, Ella? It's been emotional times. It's not been a good couple of weeks for Ella. It's all good. So I get that.

Okay, who wants to do the old school radio impression? All right, you're on 91.0 Zedib with Brie and Clint featuring Maddie McLean That's pretty good I liked it Nasally quite nasally I feel nervous

Don't be nervous Ella Why am I nervous You're on Zedib You definitely should have been nervous You're on Zed... No. Okay, you definitely should have been nervous. You're on Zit M. No, you're on Zit M. No, how do you do it?

It's kind of like... You're on Zit M. Welcome back to Zit M. Welcome back to Zit M. Oh, God. She's too young. She's never heard... You're on Zit M. She's never heard old school radio, so give her a break.

It was a time. It was a time. It was a time. Our channel news talk. That's Celine Dion. Three plus five. Welcome back to 91.0 ZM. That is Celine Dion. My heart will go on.

That's good. What a fantastic film that was, Titanic. Titanic. Stay with us. We're going to get some B-52s on the air for you straight after this. 91.0 ZM. She's good. She's got it.

Something like that. She's got it. Quite impressive. It's quite fun to do. You know, I see why they used to do it. Totally. Yeah. I used to be the voice.

I used to do some voiceover stuff, like bits and pieces for a radio station I worked at. And you would have to channel and change your voice drastically. And my voice, I feel like it changed my vocal cords after a session. It was so like... It's a lot of pressure. Yeah.

You're literally manipulating your vocal cords to sound different. So I'd have to do something like Nova, stuff like that. And afterwards I couldn't not talk like that. Oh, my God. Nova. Nova 106.9. ZM.

ZM. There you go. You're on ZM. Why are you English? Brian Clint. You're on Brian Clint. I used to do the farming news bulletins at a radio station. Farm?

Yeah, so I would lower my voice. Good day, mate. Everything would go down a couple of octaves. Can you give us a bit? It would be like the price of milk solids is currently sitting at about $8.50. Who is he? I don't know. Who are you? That's like Butch Manny McLean.

Tell me about it. Hot. He's sexy. Hot. He's a good time. How hot's Butch Manny McLean? Love it. Line up, ladies.

Line up. Leave. Line up. Leave some pussy up on the rest of us. And on that note, enjoy the podcast, everyone. Maddie McLean's going to be joining us all week, so we're very lucky to have you here. Stick around. About time we butched up this show. Exactly.

That's when the rivers rise really rapidly. And this isn't just in Tamaki Makaurau and Auckland. This is all over the country. So please be safe out there. Yeah, and remember not to drive be safe out there. Yeah. And remember not to drive through floodwaters. Yes.

Like, I can't stress that to you enough because you never know how deep it is, especially if you're in an EV. Like, it fries the computer. Like, you ain't going anywhere. In any car, to be honest. I mean, to be fair, no one's going anywhere at the moment. All roads in Auckland are chocker. Yeah.

$50 cash coming your way, my friend. My God, thank you so much. You are welcome. She was good vibes. I liked her. Have a good day, mate. Public toilets are one of those places that you try and avoid if you can. The Chamber of Secrets.

There's some rough ones out there. There's some real bad ones. You're always shocked if it's not a bad one. If it's just been recently cleaned, you go, oh, thank God. Heaven. Even the recently cleaned ones are still... Wouldn't walk in there without shoes on.

But if you do have to use it, you just get in, you do your thing, you get out. Yes. As quickly as possible. Don't ask, don't tell policy. Exactly.

Unfortunately, that didn't quite happen for a young Auckland woman over the weekend who was heading off to her mum's birthday dinner. Right. I saw this video on TikTok.

It's everywhere. She went into the public toilet and disaster struck luckily for us possibly not for her her sister was there to witness the entire thing filmed it and put it up on tiktok which you've obviously seen as well i've seen it and you haven't said what's happened yet so it sounds like she had a bad accident in there and it's not that type of accident okay but it was an accident that was bad enough that fire and emergency had to be called this is wild so wild we have her sister on the phone right now she joins us uh g'day jasmine hello how are we going so good you must just be loving this. As a sibling, there's nothing better than prolonging the suffering of your sister, right?

It's a dream. Most definitely. Most definitely. It's what I was born to do. Okay, so tell us what happened to your sister, Savannah. Yes, so basically we were just on our way to my mum's birthday dinner and we're all waiting outside for her to just nip into the bathroom so we can head off to the restaurant. And I get a call and she's saying, do you need to come? I'm stuck, I'm stuck. And I was kind of like, okay.

Oh, no. I made my way to the bathroom. She's in the cubicle. She's saying, oh, my God, I can't open the door because of the way she was stuck. She couldn't reach the door handle. And I was thinking, what is going on in there? Where and what was stuck?

Well, you see she manages to kick open the door with her foot. And I see that her finger is bent with her knuckle jammed inside the flush button. And it won't come out. This is wild. I love it. She's got more than one finger in there, right? There's actually two fingers kind of stuck in there. Oh, you don't want a two-finger, right? That's where she went wrong.

Sticky, sticky situation. And we were trying to kind of give it a bit of a wiggle out, but she was convinced that her fingers were going to snap off. It was a bit of full panic mode for a minute there. If you've just joined us, we're not talking about what you think. We're talking about Jasmine's sister, Savannah, getting her fingers stuck in the flusher of a toilet in a public bathroom. So what did you have to do, Jasmine? Yeah, well, we kind of, well, then I called my mum because I thought this is a bit

out of my skill set. And then she ran off to a restaurant to try and get some oil to lube it up and get it out. But that wasn't super successful either. And by then there's people coming in trying to use the bathroom that are kind of like, what's going on? And so I was looking at it and I saw there was like screws on the panel that had the flush button in the wall. So I thought we're going to need some tools.

I had no idea about where the maintenance department was, what the situation button in the wall. So I thought we're going to need some tools. I had no idea about where the maintenance department was, what the situation was with the building. So I just thought we're going to have to go bring in the big guns and call 111. Wow. I can't believe the emergency services were called. You don't make the phone call lightly either. No.

And I was trying really hard to not sell it as like an urgent situation on the phone because i know they've got such important things to deal with so i was being very much like hi don't know if you can help but like you know if you're keen this is a situation and they were very professional and they sent in the end it was two fire trucks sirens on um very serious taking it very seriously so we were very grateful um yeah oh God. Jasmine, what a story that will be told at every family event in your family's history forever. She's never living it down. I was going to say, how's she feeling about it? Pretty embarrassed? Oh yeah. I think she's just the novelty

is wearing off. I think she's going to be thinking about it every time she uses the bathroom for the rest of her life. But that's all right. She's going to be thinking about it every time she's in the bathroom for the rest of her life. But that's all right. She's going to have PTSD every time. She's like, ones or twos, I don't know. Thank you, Jasmine. Yeah, definitely. Thank you, Jasmine. Say hello to Savannah for us and tell her to put those fingers on ice, okay?

Exactly. Yeah, will do. Thank you so much, guys. See you, mate. Bye. Wild. Wild scenes here in a public bathroom in Auckland. We've got quite a few people in the studio

and I thought we'd run a bit of a poll just to check some statistics. Okay. So, Maddy McLean, if you're going on a first date, are you having drinks, yes or no? Oh, definitely. Okay, so you're a yes. Gary, you're on the buttons. You're on the panel.

Ahoy. You're a millennial as well, like Maddie McLean. Drinks on a first date, yes or no? Definitely yes, yes. Definitely yes. Okay. Claudia, you're on the cusp of millennial and Gen Z, but I'm going to say you're a millennial.

Having drinks on a first date, yes or no? Oh, absolutely. Okay. Without fail. You know, limber it up a little bit. A couple of drinks. Loosen it up. And Ella, our resident... Loosen what up? It. The vibe.

It. Yeah, what's it? Wait, what? Move right along. That's our resident Gen Z. Ella, are you having drinks on a first date, yes or no? I haven't in the past, but maybe. One? Okay. Okay, past, but maybe. One? Okay.

Okay, so you're unsure. Unsure. You've got to lubricate. You've got to lubricate. Don't unlubricate and date. It's not a good idea. That works. That's so interesting taking that poll. Me personally, millennial, yes.

Yeah. A couple of drinks on a first date, I think. You don't want to raw dog it. No. It's the last thing you want to do. A survey from the dating app Hinge found that three out of four of its users no longer prefer going out for drinks as a first date. Wild ace.

Why? So Gen Z, more likely than millennials to prefer alcohol free first dates. Here's the thing. Anyone that has been on a first date will tell you. They are one of life's most awkward

occasions. So awkward. And I ain't going to holy moly unless you give me a cocktail. Exactly. You know? You just need a little bit of Dutch courage. Just a couple of drinks. You don't want to go crazy. No, because that's not a good look for anyone. But apparently the studies show that because the generation,

like a lot of Gen Zers in the last however many years kind of started dating when we're all in lockdowns or you couldn't meet up with people or you couldn't go out to have a drink. So now they opt for first dates like going for a walk or having a picnic, like real old school. Yeah. What are we, in the 1950s? Sounds like intermediate.

Imagine. I just can't. I just, I can't. I mean, that's the only option was to go for a walk, you know, when we're in lockdown. Look, it's really cute. It is a cute concept, but I just think all you want to do is just get a little bit of Dutch courage in you, right? Mate, take me down to the viaduct, give me a couple of beers,

and I'm anyone. Exactly. Bree and Clint. Now, Maddie, I came across this list that was on the Herald and essentially they have done, it's called the Travel Bug Index Score for different countries and places around the world. So essentially what it is, is they asked a bunch of different travellers on TripAdvisor

to rank all these different places from one to a hundred from the highest risk to the lowest risk of getting a travel bug. I got a call from my brother the other day. He's travelling at the moment. Is he? Yeah, and he was in Mexico and he called me and he was like, something's not right. I think I'm dying. Oh no, Mexico's on the list. I don't think you're dying. I think you've just eaten something dodgy. I was like, what ends it coming out of? He was like, both. Yeah. Yeah. That's just, it's just the risk you take when you travel. It can be the water. It can be ice in a drink. It can be a lot of different things.

I thought we could go through the list in case people are planning a trip or you're about to go on a trip. I'm about to go on one. Perfect. Okay. Well, let's hope it's not on the list. Okay. So according to the results, I'll give you the top ten.

Coming in at number ten for one of the highest places people said that they got a travel bug was Cancun, Mexico. Oh, see, this is where my brother was. Mexico. Yep. Number nine was a place called Boa Vista, which is in Cape Verde. Okay.

Which I don't know where that is, but. Africa, I believe. Yeah. People who have been there probably will know where it is, remember it. Number eight is another place in Mexico called Tulum. I've been there on holiday. Very popular with tourists. Did you get sick?

No, I was fine. Oh, you got an iron gut. I was going to say, what kind of illnesses are these though? I think it's like diarrhoea. I think it's like upset tummy. Right. I think that's what they're talking about. Number seven was a place in Egypt. In quite a few places on Egypt, actually.

Number six was Bali. Bali belly, we all know. People know you can get Bali belly from drinking the water or certain types of food. Number five, another place in Mexico, Cabo. Uh-huh. San Lucas on the list. Number four, another place in Mexico, Cabo, San Lucas on the list. Number four, another place in Mexico, Playa del Carmen.

Oh, my God. So your brother. So just don't go to Mexico, basically. Well, you just need to be careful. Let's do the top two, though, because these are the highest risk. Number two is a place in Egypt called Sham el-Sheikh. So if you're headed there to Egypt, just be careful. But the number one top travel destination that tourists said

is the highest risk of getting the bum wheeze is Punta Cana, Dominica Republic. Dominican Republic is the top place where people said it got a score of 90.4 out of 100. Wow. Of places you could get sick. That is a high risk.

Have you ever gotten sick on a holiday? Do you know what? I honestly must have an iron guard. I'm fine whenever I go. Really? I'm fine. I touch wood. I've absolutely janked myself now. Because whereabouts are you about to go? Well, I'm going to Western Europe. So I think, yeah.

I'll be fine. You'll be fine. Yeah. If you didn't get sick in Mexico... I'll be all right in the south of France. I think you'll be fine. I think you should be okay. I've been to Bali, obviously being an Aussie quite a few times.

Never got Bali belly. Right. I was always quite careful. But I went to... A few years ago, I went to the Philippines and I went to a place called El Nido and it's quite underdeveloped and I got violently ill. Like worst you've ever had? It was real bad and I think it was more the timing of when I got sick.

I was on this three-hour mountain climb. Oh, God. Where there was nowhere to sit down or squat. You were on the side of a cliff. And I was like, I'm going to die here. I'm going to die and it's going to be all over for me. At least luckily when you go on holiday, you pack like 10 extra pairs of undies that you don't normally need.

Well, you might have needed it on that trip. Yeah, no. I was sick for like five or six days, I reckon. It was bad. I don't know what it was from. Could have been from anything. Could have been from those five Long Island iced teas. See, this is the thing, right?

What was it really? But I actually do think most people have an idea of what they got it from. Yeah, I think so too. I'm interested to hear people's stories of when they got sick overseas. Where were you? How bad was the situation? You know, because when I was in the Philippines, I was there with a partner and the bathroom was one of those, you know, it was a resort

and they love to have a see-through glass window from the bedroom. And you're like, don't look at me. And I was like, get out of the room. Get out of here. Leave me alone. We'd love to hear from you this afternoon. 0800 dial ZM or you can text us on 9696. Overseas and you got sick.

What are your stories? And look, we're preparing ourselves. We are. We know. We are. We're ready for it. Rebecca, tell us who got sick. Was it you?

No, it was my husband a while ago. He was just on a boys' trip in Vietnam. So, yeah, kind of a classic place to get sick, I think. Okay. And how bad was it? How sick? Oh, well, he said it was really bad, like just a really bad stomach bug.

He couldn't even get off the floor of the hostel for a couple of days while all his friends went out having fun. But he said the one thing there, the strange thing was there was a nice Asian lady, I think she ran the hostel, that just kept bringing in just strange teas on a tray. Oh, bless her. Wait, though, did the teas help or did they just make it worse?

I don't know. Yeah, I don't think anything went down well, but it's a huge drive. The last place I would want to be if I'm feeling like that is a hostel, you know? Oh, I know. I think it was pretty grotty too. Oh, you poor hubby. Hey, thanks for calling through. Someone on the text machine said,

I had parasites in Colombia, but my New Zealand insurance told me to go to a certain GP. So I did, but my Spanish was crap. And it turned out it was a plastic surgeon and they thought I wanted fat removed, but they offered my overweight husband a procedure and he said no, as we thought they were asking if he was feeling sick. Can you imagine? You turn up. That could have spiralled. It's a plastic surgeon office and you're like, I feel like my tummy

and they're like, you want tummy tuck? And you're like, no, my tummy's real sick. Next thing you're under the scalpel. Yeah. You get a full on tummy tuck. Brie's called in. Hi Brie. G'day Brie. Hiya. What happened? called in. Hi, Brie. G'day, Brie. Hiya. What happened?

My family and I, we were living in South America, in Ecuador, and we lived in the middle of the Amazon. So we hadn't been in the ocean for quite some time and we were really excited to go visit the ocean.

And when we got there, we went to a restaurant and we were hanging out with some seafood. So we went to this restaurant and three of us ordered like shellfish and fish and stuff. But we were staying in a hostel and I've got two older brothers and we were in one room and my mum and dad were in another room. And in the room that us kids were in, it was a three-tier bunk and I was in the middle bunk and one of my brothers was on the top

and the other on the bottom. But it worked out that myself and the brother on the top bunk were violently ill all night and there was only one bathroom. Oh, no, that's the worst. Who went in the sink? Well, actually, one of us was going both ways in the shower. Oh, God. Bless your hearts.

Yeah, that was pretty horrible. Is that one of your worst memories you have? Because, damn. Yeah, I think it's probably a worst memory for mum because she was really unwell, but she had no idea that us kids were because she didn't want to come and bother us because she was sick. But in the morning, we walked out looking like death,

and she was like, oh. It got you too. It got everyone. It got us good, mum. Hey, the family that spews together stays together, right? A hundred percent. That's what I always say. Thanks for calling through, Bree.

Someone text through, this is my worst nightmare. They said, I fell off my scooter in Bali and ended up in hospital with everything badly infected and a broken leg. Spent most of my holiday in hospital. They're so dangerous, the scooters. That's right. I've had an accident on a scooter in Bali. Yeah, don't.

Just don't do it. Just don't do it. My friend and I were doubling on this scooter. I was driving. She decided she wasn't going to wear shoes because we were coming back from the beach. And in Bali, like, it's just bumper to bumper

and I don't know how, but she's managed to clip something with her foot, like, as we were, like, driving. And it's, like, pretty much nearly cut her little toe off. It was so bad. Like it didn't. She was fine.

She just had to wear a weird like dressing on her foot for the rest of the trip. Stephanie's called up. She was on a holiday in Europe. Where were you, Steph, and what happened? Well, I was on a like tour around Europe and it was like 27 days. And I just, I don't I just my body must just know I was not at home and I hadn't even realized that I hadn't really been going to the bathroom and then by the time I got back to London I was just kind of in agony and so wait how long are we talking

Steph that you hadn't been to be honest I can't actually even remember how long it had been but I ended up in so much pain, I had to like, I called my travel insurance to be like, can I go to the hospital? And they're like, yeah, you can.

So I did, and they took an x-ray and I was just completely full. I don't really know if I can say the word, but yeah. If you were full of shit,

that's what you were. Yeah. Oh my God. That must be very awkward. I thought something was like really wrong and then they're like, no, you just really need to go. Oh my God. How satisfying was it though?

Pardon? How satisfying was it? Not really because it was just like weird medications they made me take and it didn't really, it took a while for it to work. Maddie McLean wanting all the dirty details. Tell us, how good was it, Steph? Well, Steph, we're glad you're okay.

And, I mean, insurance paid it, surely? Yes, yeah, they did, yeah. I just imagine Steph filling out the insurance form uh constipated uh hospital visit yeah pretty much it was just weird thanks for sharing thank you so much thank you steph there it is um be safe out there when you're traveling yeah free and clint maddie some great news for people uh in the market to try and get on the property ladder or a home loan because there's some changes that have been made. And, I mean, I am not the type of person that knows about this stuff.

Let's pretend like we are experts in the field, right? Yeah, exactly. So there's been some changes to the Credit Contracts and Consumer Finance Act that came into effect last week. Did you know? I had heard murmurings of it, Bree. But please, enlighten me. I'll go on. Welcome back to ZB.

Essentially what it means is that remember we went through those stages where if you're trying to get a home loan, there was all those stories about how they would go through your bank statements with a fine tooth comb and pull out stuff like netflix or uber eats i remember this because a woman in dunedin got turned down for a home loan because she spent like 150 dollars at kmart that's nothing at kmart that's see it's crazy that's just that's just just a Thursday night, late night shopping at the mall, right? Exactly right. But there's been changes made where they've kind of backpedaled

and they're allowing banks to kind of look past some of that stuff now, which is great news. They're going, okay, you've got to live your life. We'll let the Mickey D's through if you must. We'll kind of turn a blind eye to some things. Live your life. So what I thought we could do this afternoon is I've got you to send me bank statements from your checking account for the last month.

And I've done the same. And I thought we could be the bank for each other and go through each other's bank and just see what each other's spending's been like. The terrifying thing was I was in quite a hurry to do this. So I literally just was screenshotting and I have no idea what I've seen here. Oh, Maddie. Oh, Maddie. I mean, welcome, Mr. McLean.

Thank you so much for coming in. Look, I thought we'd need to discuss a few discrepancies on your checking account. First, I just want to ask, are you going on a trip? Because there's a lot of stuff that you've booked through Expedia, Airbnb, hotel bookings, lots of pricey purchases. Look, this is a honeymoon for me and my husband, so surely that's okay, right? You can leave me away with that.

Well, I mean, is it your first marriage? Okay, that's a pass. Okay, I can get away with that. You can get away with that. Do you know what, though? They bloody blocked my card because I started making all these overseas purchases. Well, judging from the purchases, you're going on a very lavish honeymoon. Jealous.

Yeah, I'll see you in some photos. I just want to ask you about the countless purchases from Amano Bakery. Lots of bakery purchases. Are you a fan of the carbohydrates? They make really good doughnuts. You're buying 24, 21. There's a $29 purchase. How many donuts are you buying? Well, look, it's the donut, then it's the coffee,

then it's maybe like a little lunchtime snack as well. I've got to eat. A little quiche. I've got to eat. Yeah, fair enough. So I should be more polite because you're the bank manager. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, I get that.

I'm so sorry. I get what you say. I love donuts. I'll pass that. I'll pass that. The last one I wanted to ask you about was there's quite a few

purchases from Kmart and I was just wondering what you purchased because I love Kmart so I was keen to know is there some good deals there at the moment do you know what

we always go to Kmart for just like a walk around there's never ever any intention to buy anything. It's like your Saturday night with Ryan. You get the throw. You get the candle. We just bought a vacuum cleaner from there. Just everything.

Look, I'll pass that because I think it's smarter to shop at Kmart than K-Road is what I always say. Thank God those aren't on there. All right, I think you passed. Thank you. I think you're fully eligible for a home loan. Sign on the dotted line. All right, shall I hit you? Okay.

Oh, no, I'm nervous. Miss Thomasel, I've noticed on here a number of purchases from a place called the Empire Tavern. Yeah, the Empire Tavern is where I have a lot of business meetings. Business meetings. I take clients there. Right. And I like to buy them, you know, drinks and, you know,

wine and dine clients for business stuff. Who are the clients that you're taking with you? Oh, there's Gary, Claudia, Ella and Clint. A lot of big, like, overseas clientele. Right, right, right. You wouldn't know their businesses, but big overseas kind of deals. Is that all on a Friday afternoon as well? Well, they fly in on a Friday and, you know, and they fly out on a Sunday. So I have to meet them on a Friday and they fly out on a Sunday,

so I have to meet them on a Friday. Yeah. Yeah, all right. We'll pass that one. Okay, good. Yeah, thank you. The thing I've noticed about your statements is there's a lot of groupings. So there's not a huge amount of varied purchases.

Okay. You seem to go to the exact same places all the time. Do I? So it's uh the empire tavern as i mentioned great establishment on here called the seven mart convenience store which you seem to frequent quite often that's across the road here at work and i get peckish of an afternoon maddie and sometimes i like i – I purchase healthy things. So it's fuel. It's fuel for my work, I would say.

And, I mean, I get good stuff like the hummus, you know. I buy hummus from the dairy. Bull. I do. I actually do. And it's so expensive. But I'm like, I can't get chocolate every time. Yeah, I know it's expensive because I'm looking at your things.

My God, I can't believe you picked up on that. And finally, there's one more thing. We'll pass her on that one. Okay, good. You've got to feel your body. I am just curious to know what the – this is purely because I'm just nosy. Okay. I love knowing what people bought from Look Sharp.

What did you buy from Look Sharp? Look Sharp, I wanted to, you know, spice things up in the bedroom. So I bought, you know, a costume. Right. No, I'm kidding. I'm joking. I'm joking. Naughty nurse, was it?

Naughty, yes. Naughty nurse. And that is enough of that. It's none of your business, bank manager. Okay. There it is. I think both of us, we're going to go. We're going to easily get a home loan now.

Yeah, easily. We just have to find a house under $1.8 million in Auckland. It's simple. Yeah. Piece of cake. Straightforward. It's time for a birthday banger. All I want for my birthday is a birthday banger.

Here we go, Maddie McLean, birthday banger time. Yeah, all we need you to do is call us, tell us what your birthday is, and we will find out what the number one song was when you turned 16. That's right, and then we're going to play one of those songs, our favourite one out of these three. Let's kick it off with Nicole. G'day, Nicole. Hi.

How you doing, Nicole? Yeah, I'm good, thanks. How are you? You're not battling traffic today? I actually am. How long have you been in the car, Nicole? Yeah, yeah. I'm down in Christchurch, so it's not really raining down here.

It's just a bit. I'm in the car. Yeah, gotcha. Good to hear. Good to hear, Nicole. Well, let's not really raining down here. It's just a bit overcast. Yeah, gotcha. Good to hear. Good to hear, Nicole. Well, let's do your birthday banger. What's your birthday? 16th of the 2nd, 82.

All right, Nicole, that means you were 16 in 1998. And let me take you back to your 16th birthday with this one. You're here. There's nothing I fear. Shall we go for it, Nicole? Iconic. A bit of Celine Dion. Oh, my God.

You like that, Nicole? Oh, I don't know. Obviously, the movie Titanic would have been out and that song just skyrocketed. Huge. Massive. All right, Nicole. She's not stoked, but, you know,

the birthday banger chooses you. Yeah, exactly. Let's go to Chelsea now. Hi, Chelsea. Hi, Chelsea. Hi. Whereabouts are you, Chelsea? Well, I'm on the way home from P Partia in South Taranaki at the moment.

Okay. Right. How's the weather down there? Overcast and cold, but no rain as of yet. Okay, good. Thanks for the on-the-spot weather report. Love it. Have you thought about a career as a weatherwoman, Chelsea?

Because you nailed that. No, because I'd like to be living where it's warm all year round. Yeah, fair enough. Yeah, cool. Wouldn't we all? Hey, Chelsea, what's your date of birth, mate? 26 of the 2nd, 1988. Right, that means you were 16 in 2004.

And on the 26th of Feb, this was number one. I don't know what it is that makes me feel like this. I don't know who you are. What a banger from Jamelia. One hit wonder. The song that so many of us sung on SingStar or on the PlayStation. You like that, Chelsea? Oh, not too bad.

I'd listen to it and have a dance. Yeah. Hey, it's a bit of a banger. I quite like a bit of superstar from Jamelia. All right, well, let's see if it's going to win. We've got to talk to Kelsey, though. G'day, Kelsey. Hi.

How are you? Thanks. All right. You're cutting in and out. Whereabouts are you calling Thanks. All right. You're cutting in and out. Whereabouts are you calling from, Kelsey? All right, we might have lost Kelsey. Oh, there she is. Oh, sorry, Kelsey.

Your line's a bit funny. We seem to be losing you. Should we do Kelsey's birthday banger anyway? All right, there she is. I've got your birthday here, Kelsey, so we'll soldier on. You were born on the 8th of November, 1991, which means you were 16 in the year 2007, and this is your birthday banger.

Baby, I was talking about the whole life, just the way I was. But I struggled for the one thing you had to give me. I mean, it was the Timberland era back in the, you know, 2000s. That's good. Yeah. That's good. You like that, Kelsey? Okay, wouldn't be my first pet, but it's not too bad.

All right. Yeah, fair enough. Good review from Kelsey. Okay, now we've got to vote. We've got Celine Dion, My Heart Will Go On, Superstar Jamelia or The Way I Are, Timberland. Do you want to go first today? Okay, I'll go first.

I'm feeling the Timberland song. Oh, really? I don't know why, but that's my vibe. That's my vote. Okay, I'm going Jamelia, superstar. Okay, that means we go to the producers, and I'm going to swing it over to producer Ella, if she's on her microphone.

Hi. All right, Ella, what's it going to be? You can pick from all three. I really, really, really like Celine Dion. It's going to be Celine Dion. Can I choose it? You're bloody joking me, aren't you? Am I allowed? Yeah, you're Celine Dion. It's going to be Celine Dion. Can I choose it? You're bloody joking me, aren't you? Am I allowed?

Yeah, you're allowed. It's not too slow. It's the way the game works. It's your funeral. But everyone's stuck in traffic and maybe Superstar will make them a bit excited. I like how you're workshopping it as we speak on live radio. I'm just thinking about the people. Be bold.

I'm going to do the second one, Superstar. All right. Superstar. Because it's more upbeat. Okay, great decision. That means, Chelsea, you've won birthday banger, mate. Awesome. We'll get it on for you right now.

This is Superstar Jamelia, your birthday banger for a Tuesday. Come on. Bree and Clint. I tried to learn the guitar last year. It was going to be my New Year's resolution. Opened the boot this week. The guitar is still in there. 18 months later. 18 months. 18 months.

It's new home now. Yeah. It's probably never going to leave. It's lost to the boot. It is. 0800-DIAL-ZM if you've had something in your car for a long time. It reminded me of when I first moved to New Zealand and I remember I went and bought some groceries and I put my groceries in the boot of my car and then about I reckon seven months later my car just

stunk and I was like why does my car stink? And I searched through the car, couldn't find it, and then finally realised an avocado had rolled in out of my groceries and somehow fallen underneath the boot cover, like where the spare wheel sits, and it had grown

a new avocado tree, I swear. It was rancid. Well, those things go off after like 24 hours. So imagine what it's like after that amount of time. Oh, my God. It looked like an alien. Let's talk to Olivia. G'day, Olivia.

Hello. Tell us, mate. What's in the car? Well, I've got one straight Ugg boot in my boot. Why one? Well, I was moving out of home and putting all my clothes, just chucking it all in my car, and then one of them went missing. I just haven't done anything with the other one ever since.

Mate, I love that it's an Ugg boot in the boot. So you're never going to be able to, so the other one's completely gone. You're never going to get that one back. Well, I'm still holding hope. And that's the thing, right? You go, maybe one day. Let's not get rid of it just yet. Let's not be hasty.

Or you could sprain your ankle and you might only need the one. You know, just hang out for that day. How much longer do you think it's going to sit in there, Olivia? Forever, probably. Olivia's like, just succumb to the fact. Someone texted her and they said, a 500ml blue V can has been in my driver's

side door since the day I got the car. So, nearly two years. Car's not dirty at all, just always forget about it. That's it, if it's on the passenger side. Oh no, it's on the driver's side, so she could easily get to it. Just get rid of it. Someone else has texted and said, my ex

and I broke up about a year and a half ago. I found a pair of his underwear in my boot two months ago. No! Wait, why are your ex's undies in the boot? What were you... I think we know the answer to that, Brian. Let's not ask questions, should we, Maddie McLean

I have just finished watching One of the best shows I've seen in a long time What is it Because You're saying one of the best shows you've watched In a long time Okay what season of Treasure Island Have you been watching

I've just been re-watching Celebrity Treasure Island Fans versus favourites Such a good ending I loved it Would never have guessed Treasure Island and have been watching it. I've just been re-watching Celebrity Treasure Island fans versus favourites. Your season. Such a good ending. Yeah, I loved it. I mean, would never have guessed. Such a deserving winner. No, I have just finished watching this show called Jury Duty.

I've seen it. Is it not one of the best shows you've seen in a long time, Brie? I haven't finished it. Okay. But I know what happens because I saw it on TikTok. Right. But the concept of the show is so interesting. So this is a guy who answered an ad that a production company

put in a newspaper saying they were looking for participants. They basically wanted to go behind the scenes of a jury trial. Okay. And document the day-to-day lives of the jurors while they're there, what it was like to deliberate, all of that kind of thing. Show the process of being on a jury.

So a doco. Exactly. Yeah. And this guy answered and said, yeah, I'd be interested in taking part. Got selected for the jury and went and sat on this trial for a couple of weeks. All of the jurors got sequestered to a hotel.

They weren't allowed to leave. The documentary cameras followed them the whole time. The only catch was everyone else that was part of the jury and part of the entire court case were actors. So they're all paid actors except for this one guy. Who does not know that this is not a real trial that he's sitting on, that the people he's on the jury with are not real people, that the defendant in the trial is not real,

the judge isn't real, the lawyers aren't real. Nothing is real. Because one of the guys in it is actually famous. James Marston, who you might know from Hairspray, from X-Men. 27 Dresses. 27 Dresses. He gets called up as a so-called juror and goes and sits on the jury as himself. Yeah, he's playing himself, and I love that they've made him,

because he's pretending to be him, but he is a total dick. And he's so up himself. So arrogant. It is so brilliant. and he's so up himself. So arrogant. It is so brilliant. There's so many funny moments. And look, you haven't quite seen the end of it, but the moment where he finds out is just absolutely brilliant. But he's gone on to talk about what it was like because what a rollercoaster, right?

Because this reminds me of, I mean, iconic Kiwi TV show back in the early 2000s, I believe. Yeah, I think it was 2004. Yes, called Living the Dream. Yes. Where they had one man who didn't know that everyone else was a paid actor, right? Yeah, it was a reality TV show where they were competing

and then voting each other off and he won the show and but didn't realize that actually everyone else was actors so it's pretty much the exact same idea yeah but adding the jury element is so fascinating and they deliberate and they come to a conclusion they find the guy not guilty it's just so brilliant and then he finds out that it wasn't real and he was such a good sport about it but it would mess with you a little bit right it would because then you would kind of second guess everything truly be like it's someone filming me right now is this it's kind of like the truman shows well he's spoken about it the guy um ronald who is the main man has spoken about the experience have a listen to

this so on the day of the reveal i think you can see it in my face like it's disbelief at first you know because how am i supposed to believe that my entire world for the last three and a half weeks was fake because it was again this wasn't just the courtroom that was fake it was a hotel room that was put up you know margaritaville was running out everywhere we went you know there were hidden cameras everyone involved was an actor. So I could not process that information on that same day. It was too much. It was sensory overload.

Wow, because he's quite young too. Yeah. He's only like 21 or something. And he was so good about it with the review and stuff, and he really took it in. But it would mess with you. He went on to say, like, a couple of weeks later, he had to call James Marsden to be like,

I'm a little bit paranoid that people are still following me with cameras and stuff. And it's a real thing. You mentioned The Truman Show. Yeah. The movie with Jim Carrey from back in the 90s where his entire life is fake. Made up.

This fantastic movie. And after that movie came out they they coined a term called truman show delusion right a psychiatrist i love where people always say and people who haven't even been on tv but they're always like i swear my life is the truman show and i am truman yes yeah it's a real disorder where people think that their whole life is fake, that they're being followed, that they're being recorded for this reality TV show. I love that people who think that think there's such main character energy.

Absolutely. You're like, I'm definitely the main character and everyone is here for me. Whereas most of us are like, our lives are so boring, there's no way that we're true men. Mate, my life would be the most boring TV if we get rated a one on IMDb. Anyway, Jury Judy is such a good show.

You've got to go and finish it, Bree. I'm going to. I'm going to watch it tonight. Jury Judy, I think you can watch it on Prime. That's where you can watch it. Check it out. It's quite interesting. Bree and Clint. That's where you can watch it Check it out It's quite interesting Pretty simple game

Producer Claude has found Different classical renditions Of popular songs that we play On our playlist, right Claude? I love it Absolutely And I think this week I've kind of tailored them

Slightly towards you, Maddie Since it's your first go Rigged! Up raw! No, that's fine. So these are all songs that at one point would have played on the ZM playlist. You'll all know what they are. I'm just going to start it.

Buzz in with your name if you think you know what it is, and we'll see who's the best at this game. All right, if you're listening, you can play along. See if you can beat Maddie and I. Okay, are you ready to go? I'm ready. Let's do it. Good luck.

Oh, Maddie. Maddie. Hit me baby one more time, Britney Spears. No, it's not. Oh, he was so sure. Oh, no, it's not. Hit Me Baby One More Time, Britney Spears. No, it's not. Oh, he was so sure. Oh, no, it's not. I know what it is. It's Genie in a Bottle, Christina Aguilera.

It is, yep. You were so confident. Isn't it funny? Because I knew that I've heard the song and I was like, it's in your brain, but I don't know what it is. Nice work, Maddie. Yeah, well done. Okay, you want another one? Yeah, let's in your brain, but I don't know what it is. Nice work, Maddie. Yeah, well done. Okay, you want another one?

Yeah, let's do it. Here we go. Maddie. Survivor, Disney's Child. Oh, my God. I'm still here. Even in my years to come, I'm still going to be here. I'm a survivor. Well done. Nice work. Oh, my God. Well done. Nice work.

That was quick. I really did tailor it to you this week, didn't I? Sorry, Bree. That's okay. Okay, last one. Okay, come on. I think you can get this one. Can I get one back? Yeah, absolutely.

Here we go. Oh, Maddie. That's Despacito. It's not. It's not. Okay. Do you want to listen to it? I don't know exactly what it is.

I'll give you. Oh, Shakira. Yes. Sing. No, Oh, sing. No, no, no. Sing. What is that song? What is it called?

Oh, baby, when you're tall like that, you make my body go. Hips don't lie. I just had to help you get there, Grace. Thank you, Maddie. You knew it. Appreciate you pointing at your hips and doing a little shimmy. You're like this. Move them, I hurt this.

That's our game called Let's Get Classical. Maddie McLean, of course, killing it. Bree and Clint. It's time for the latest. From iHeartRadio, this is the latest. Live from LA with Dean McCarthy. Dean, who is the band that has announced they're splitting up after 27 years together?

27 years, some 41. Can you believe that? I'm so shocked. They've been together forever. They've had a lot of big hits in Australia. I mean, they've been in the Australian top 40, like, oh, my God, many, many times over these decades. They were originally formed in 1996, and we are so shocked

that why would a band up to 27 years break up? Yeah, I'm quite shocked at that too. Like, I didn't even know. Have they been touring or have they been doing gigs or anything? I think they've been doing gigs, like, swanning around doing gigs. Yeah, I think so. That's what my understanding is. They haven't had a big hit in a minute, obviously,

but their fans have still been a bit of shade. Unnecessary shade. I'm just reading here, Dean, they are about, they're going to go on a worldwide headlining tour before they break up. So that is going to be the last thing they do. Right, so it doesn't seem like it's bad blood. Exactly. Yeah, or anything.

Just time. Just time to do something different. They had that song In Too Deep, hey? Because I'm in too deep. Yes. Yeah, I love that song. Oh, well, gutted. Well, if you're a big Sum 41 fan,

we urge you to get tickets on their final farewell tour. And we're thinking of you today. We're thinking of you. Bree and Clint. That, my friends, is the end of the show. Maddie McLean, always a pleasure. That's so nice. Never a chore. No, and I'm going to be hanging out

with you for the rest of the week as well. Yes, we've got you for the rest of the week. Now, we always love at the end of the show to talk about what TV shows we're watching. Are you watching anything good at the moment? We are watching a couple of things. First of all, Ryan and I are deep, deep, deep into the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. What?

You love that stuff, eh? I love that stuff, but I'll tell you what, I never thought my husband Ryan, you know Ryan. I know Ryan. He doesn't strike you as a Real Housewives of Beverly Hills kind of guy, right? No, he strikes me more as a survivor or moving houses New Zealand type of guy. Yeah. Mix him with a little bit of like McLeod's Daughters reruns. Yeah, because he's a farm boy. But he is so obsessed with this show, which suits me fine.

Do you reckon it's like, would you say on a scale of one to ten, ten being super real and one being the fakest reality show ever, where does it sit? It's a five. It's a five. It's a five because I think they definitely ham up scenarios for dramatic effect. So one out of five drinks thrown in the face is real.

I'd say so. Okay. Do you watch it? No. Oh, it face is real. I'd say so. Okay. Do you watch it? No. Oh, it's so good. I've never watched it, but I can put it on my list. What are you watching at the moment? At the moment, I'm watching Ted Lasso, which it's Ted Lasso night tomorrow night.

And I don't really have anything else. See, we are these problematic people at the moment where we don't watch things if they haven't built up enough for us to binge. So we're waiting for Ted Lasso to finish. We're waiting for Yellow Jackets to finish. Oh, it's so good. So good. Season two. Yeah. It's out on Neon

right now. So I get what you're saying. You won't commit unless they're willing to put out. Exactly. You know? Yeah. All right, well, there you go. There are our recommendations. Matty McLean, we will see you tomorrow.

Get home safe. Yes, drive safe. Yes, the roads are crazy at the moment, so be safe. We'll see you tomorrow. Bye. Bye. Bye. ZM's brand Clint on Insta Facebook TikTok and live weekdays from 3 on ZM
