Hello New Zealand and welcome to the podcast. Not just New Zealand, hello podcasters from all over the world. Hello global friendship circle and welcome to the podcast. I've got to come clean about something. We did a bit in the show yesterday, which you would have heard on the podcast, where I said that British people find their own accent the most attractive. Technically not true. Yeah, didn't they find the royal accent? They found proper English accent, like the royal, the Queen's English, the most attractive. So isn't that? I just said English. And then we've had some correspondence from English people going,

what do you mean English? Oh, there's a lot of different accents. Do you mean Geordie? Do you mean Liverpudlian? Do you mean Cornish? Do you mean Essex? Do you mean London? I think it's because in New Zealand or in Australia,

there's not really different accents. They're all the same kind of. Yeah, New Zealand accent gets a bit fucker the further south you go. Yeah, see, whereas in Australia, it's all pretty much similar, except there's a few words that we say different. Don't people in Melbourne talk like this? No, they don't. I thought they'd do like this.

And they go, and they go, the hairdresser, and they go, the hairdresser says, what do you feel like as a cat? And they go, um, just cut it straight across and really high. And that's how they talk in Melbourne, right? Melbourne are dealing with enough. True, bad time to pick on Melbourne. Yeah, bad time to pick on Melbourne. But good time to have a laugh at yourself.

Yeah, they are hipster down there So I know what you were trying to say Hey, I want to While I'm cleaning my hair Do you mind putting this record on? I'd love a burger But instead of bread Can you use some field mushrooms as the bread?

And I'm vegan So instead of meat Can you just use a piece of vegan leather? Can you just use some Can you use Cactus leather No leather can you just use some uh can you use cactus leather no no i'd love some cactus instead of a patty can you just use a field mushroom oh whatever pescatarian um and instead of instead of um instead of mayonnaise can you just blend up a field mushroom just you just give me field mushrooms.

I have something to say. After yesterday's podcast talking about poo, a lot of people on the podcast family page keen for some more poo chat. No. Or some R18 chat, which you guys got rid of and I was always advocating for. A vocal minority. A vocal minority. I don't think we ever got rid of it. It always advocating for. A vocal minority. A vocal minority. I don't think we ever got rid of it. It just never came up again because we're mature.

Yeah, because you guys silenced it. You need to understand that you don't understand. You guys said you have a vagina. You're not allowed to talk about R18 stuff. No, that's bullshit. Every time I try to talk about my period on this podcast, you guys are like, ew, Raj. No one's trying to muffle your period

Wouldn't have said muffle and period in the same sentence Nice, I got that by the way Thank you, you get that one? What did you want to say? Let's talk about toxic shock syndrome What the fuck is that? No, no, no, what are you doing? Think about, this is what I want you to do

I want you to think about the settings in which people are listening to this I've got something I want to talk about What if someone's got it on in the car I've got a big pimple On my bum at the moment Show me Yeah Have you guys ever had

A boil on the bum Yeah Have you A boil A boil yeah A boil A boil A boil on the bum

A boil on the bum What do you do to get a boil on the bum I don't know how I got it But my girlfriend at the time Burst it for me That would be so satisfying That was her thing. I tend to only date women who want to squeeze my things.

Lucy, my wife, is the same. I guess that's a good thing, right? That is a good thing for you. And he said things, so he's talking about his testicles. What time does Lotto close? No, there's no more Lotto chat. People don't like the Lotto chat on the podcast. Have you ever seen someone in the podcast family go,

oh, more Lotto chat? Yeah, they said, Bree, do more period chat and Clint, do more Lotto. Oh, I want to talk about ingrown hairs. What's the worst you've ever had? You are, you are. This friend under your arm? Yeah. How bad was it?

So bad. It was this massive white head and then I popped it and the hair came out with it. It arm? Yeah. How bad was it? So bad. It was this massive white head, and then I popped it, and the hair came out with it. It was so good. How satisfying is that? What about you, Ben? I think I've had a few, but I've never noticed them. It's been someone else that's been like, you know, like a girlfriend or something. What do you mean you haven't noticed it?

Well, I don't know. I'm just like, that looks like a spot or something that's sore. Is it in your pubic region? No. Oh. No, it's just like on an arm or a back or something like that. On your arm? I don't know.

Are you shaving? Do you usually shave your arms? No. Have you shaved your arms? No. Have you shaved your legs before? Don't think so. Can we shave them?

My legs? Yeah. No. What about for charity? Yes. What's the charity that's going to sign up for that? Have you shaved your arms before, Georgia? My actual arm arms?

Nah, never. Neither. They're not that scary. I veeted mine once. You veeted them, yeah. Your arms. Because a mate told me that it made your arms look bigger. And he was right.

It does make your arms look more defined. But then you have arm stubble. Yeah, no one likes that. My arm's shaved at the moment. Sorry, I was buying a lotto ticket. I'm back. What are we talking about? That's because you've been in hospital. Yeah, I one likes that. My arm's shaved at the moment. Sorry, I was buying a lotto ticket. I'm back. What are we talking about? That's because you've been in hospital.

Yeah, I know. They had to shave it. It's all like half-shaven now. Yeah, but when you give a cuddle. Boring chat, everyone. Fine. Sorry, I'll talk about your testicles or something. Tune back in.

No, don't do that. I'm down for some R18 chat when it comes up, when there's a reason for it. I feel like at the moment you're just probing the body and you're going, all right, I'll try the balls. We'll try some chat on the balls. What piercings has everyone got? I'm waiting. Has anyone ever hooked up with someone with an R18 piercing?

Oh, that's a good question. That's a question for the radio show, actually. You reckon? That's a question for the main show, yeah. I reckon? That's a question for the main show, yeah. I've hooked up with someone that's got nipple piercings, but that's about it. That doesn't count, I don't think. No, it does.

No, but it's not unusual enough. Like, if you call up with that. Have you? Yeah. How many? How many people or how many nipple piercings? How many people and how many piercings? How many nipples?

I don't know. Maybe I haven't. Yeah, you're a liar. You haven't. Sometimes I confuse what I've seen on the internet with what I've done in real life. Don't we all.

Let's go, everybody. There will be a news bulletin right after this so people know what the theme of the show is today. A news bulletin? Yeah, the news bulletin that happened

because no one knows. A lot of people might not know what's happened in New Zealand today. Oh, we can do that. Don't. A news bulletin? Yeah, the news bulletin that happened because no one knows. A lot of people might not know what's happened in New Zealand today. Oh, we can do that. Don't put a news bulletin in the podcast. I can take it out. Like an actual news bulletin? Yeah, and then it goes into the top of our...

Oh, okay. If it's good, put it in there. It feels good, mate. We're in lockdown, New Zealand, but the news update is going. We're in lockdown world. We're back in lockdown as of today, but you're about to get an update.

And that's the theme of the show. You're right. Yeah, there is quite a lot of chat about that in the show. All right. Ka kite anō. Stay safe, everybody. See you at the next podcast. From nzherald.co.nz.

Thanks to Flick Electric. Rated number one for customer service. In this update, those travelling south on Auckland's Southern Motorway are all being stopped at a checkpoint. About 10 police officers and six Defence Force members are questioning all drivers about where they're going and why. In Hamilton, tensions are rising at the Clawdorlands COVID testing centre. People are being turned away with those already in the queue waiting five hours.

One person's been arrested and there have been reports a staff member was swearing at patrons. A West Auckland medical centre's closed for 48 hours after it was found one of the new COVID cases went there. Westview Medical Centre says the patient was seen in the infection control centre and was wearing a mask. And the Prime Minister says Kiwis can still return home despite new community transmission. Jacinda Ardern says they'll still be doing 14 days of isolation. We treat those arrivals very, very cautiously, so there's no

reason why we cannot continue to do that. That's news. I'm Lauren Mabbitt. For more info on the virus, see covid19.govt.nz Hey Google, what's the time? It's 3pm, give or take a minute. Alexa, play ZM on iHeartRadio. Playing ZM on iHeartRadio.

Playing ZM on iHeartRadio. Hey Siri, when are Brie and Clint on? Brie and Clint are on air in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Hi everybody. How are you bloody going? Like what's going on with you? What is happening? What the hell is going on?

When we left you at 7 o'clock last night. Everything was fine. Everything was fine. Everything was fine. And then I wake up this morning and my phone's going, and this is bloody happening. I thought it was going to be a bloody tsunami warning or something. Oh, yeah. It could be.

Same noise. No, well, don't say that. No, but when you get one of those alerts, you should always treat it like it's something serious. Isn't it crazy that they can do that these days? It's a good thing. I've only had it for this and for when the Sky City Theatre was on fire. Oh, yeah.

And it was like, don't drive into the city. There's toxic smoke. Was that this year as well? Yeah, I think it was. No, I think it might have been end of 2019. Yeah. It's all a blur now. It's within the last 12 months anyway.

Imagine if someone got a hold of that technology where they can send those alerts to every single person. Yeah. And then, you know, you just wanted revenge, so you just sent out, you know, like a picture of, like, Bloomfield or something. Oh, I see where you're going with it. Right.

See, that would perk everyone up. Like a, you know, a picture with Bloomfield with his top off. Yeah, but what's the revenge bit? Who's that getting revenge on? Well, I guess it's not revenge. If you're talking about if you're Bloomfield's enemy, you've got to get some salacious Bloomfield nudes and send them out. Who threw Bloomfield under the bus?

Oh, David, I don't want to say because I don't remember his name. David Smith? I don't know. That guy. That guy. You know the guy. The mountain biking guy. He's the guy that would be sending, you know, some revenge stuff out.

Hey, today on the show, we are going to do a couple of things. We're going to bring you the information that you need, including a four o'clock press conference with the Prime Minister. We're going to take that live to air. If it interrupts Fact of the Day, we'll still do Fact of the Day. We might just have to do it after the press conference. But that's still happening, the 50k Fact of the Day, and the activator will play just before 4 o'clock.

That's right. We are still giving away other money on the show as well. We've got that limited edition Simpsons print, which is coming up in the next 20 minutes. Yeah, but first, slow it down. All right. We just want to open the phone lines with a little bit of a, how you going? Like, what's going on?

What's on your mind? How are you feeling? Where's your head at right now? Just a little bit of honest chat. Yeah, if you want someone to talk to, we're here to talk to. We want to listen, see how you're feeling. Yeah. We're going to talk about this together. Yeah., see how you're feeling. We're going to talk

about this together. So let's start the show with that. Yeah. 0800 DALS at M if you want to do a bit of real talk with us. Also, I thought we should start with a fun song. We should just pick things up. Well, if you're in Auckland and you've now got a three-day lockdown, you should just treat this as a five-day weekend. So I reckon we start the weekend today. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah? This is a chain.

There we go. Bree and Clint, give us a call. ZM. Bree and Clint. Cheers, drink to that. I did last night, I'll tell you that. Cheers, start drinking. I didn't have a cup.

I just took the bottle. Hey, we want to give you guys a chance just to open up, have a bit of a chat. Phone lines are open if you want to call and just talk about how you're feeling with all this. It's another shock. It's another surprise shake-up that no one was expecting. And to be honest, I don't think anybody wants, so it is a shock.

Which, to be honest, I feel like, you know, we probably shouldn't have been as shocked as what we were. Yeah. But we did all kind of go back to normal life. I didn't expect this to be this fast. I thought that if it came out, they'd be like, okay, we need to see and if it gets worse, then maybe we'll look at it. But it's like, bam, four people have got it, you're locked down.

It was just like really, really instant. I mean, if you look at what's happening in Victoria, they've got a good example of, you know, that they do need to be really serious about it. No, it's definitely the right thing to do. It's just quite jarring. So if you want to have a chat, our phone lines are open. You can call on 0800 dials at M.

Ben's called up from Christchurch. Hi, Ben. G'day, Ben. Yeah, hey, how you doing? Not too bad. How are you with all of this? I completely support it. I've got a type 1 diabetic son

so I mean we get hit at level 2 he has to stay home which causes all kinds of arguments with his siblings but the way I sort of see it is that if she does nothing and it spreads which we've seen sort of overseas from the point of 4 known cases

if they've interacted with other people, there could be a dozen or two or three or four dozen that they haven't caught yet. Yeah, and then boom, it's out of control in literally a week. So you as someone with a vulnerable family member, you support it and you want everybody to jump on board as quickly as possible, is that what you would say? 100%, because the way I sort of see it,

it's a three-day lockdown, which is just, hey, let's stop people moving, do some testing, figure out where we're at with it. If they find that they've managed to contain it, then it moves out of lockdown. And to be honest, I'm surprised we went this long without a relapse. That's what I thought too, Ben.

I thought this was quite a long time. I thought we would have had it quite a relapse. That's what I thought too, Ben. I thought this was quite a long time. I thought we would have had it like quite a lot earlier. We got to our 100-day mark and we're like, yes! And then day 102, they're like, knock, knock, knock. Hello, it's me, the virus. Let's just hope Jacinda and Bloomfield can Liam Neeson these people and trace where they've been. Hi, Cathy.

Hi, how's it going've been. Hi, Cathy. Hi, how's it going? Good, thanks, Cathy. Whereabouts are you? Well, we're in Hawke's Bay, but our son is in Auckland and he was about to perform with Solomio. No! God, so many people would have been so sad. Is your son Stan Walker?

I'm not that old. Well, your son's performing with Solly Mio Who's your son? So his name's Sam And he's in New Zealand Youth Choir Oh amazing Hey that's okay It will still happen

This stuff's just going to get postponed You reckon? Yeah I don't believe that we're at cancellation stage for things Everything at the moment is getting delayed I think it'll be a little while But yeah I wouldn't give up hope on that yet. I hope so because we'll get to meet Stan Walker as well.

Phil, how are you going? Good, guys. Yourself? Not too bad. You're in Auckland, Phil. How are you feeling? Because we're in Level 3. No, I'm an Aucklander that's managed to get to Pocono. Basically, bottom of the Bombay Hills

so I can continue working. But I've had these checkpoints already set up. Were you meant to do that, Phil? I thought you were meant to stay put. I am staying put. I've been down in Pocono for a couple of days now. Oh, okay. I was already down here, so I was doing it.

But, of course, we get the message last night with the news warning. Yeah. And then at the end of it, my partner gets a text about her that her grandmother had just passed away. Oh, no. Geez. I'm so sorry to hear that.

So I will be staying down here to try and get the house finished that I'm working in. And then I'll head back to Auckland. But if I'm needed beforehand, well, work can come second and family comes first. Good man, Phil. Good to hear. Thanks, Phil.

Good bacon and Pocono too. Good place to be. Is it? Oh, yeah. Hey, I've just got a text message come through and it's from a lady named Sarah. She said, I'm in South Auckland currently on my way to get a COVID test and I'm in tears.

I don't know how to deal with this. It is a very daunting thing and I'm so sorry to hear that, Sarah, but you are doing the right thing and we're here with you. If you want to call us for some support, we've got the producers on the phones, but just know that it's not that bad. People do say that it's quite scary, but it's okay. The test itself is fine. I've heard that the testing stations, particularly around Auckland,

because there aren't that many of them now, they kind of close a lot of them down, they're quite gnarly at the moment. So take some snacks if you're going. Take a fully charged phone. Turn up the radio. Put on some music. Maybe even one of those apps like Mind Map or something.

Yeah, or Calm. Yeah, Calm is quite good. But we're with you, Sarah, so we're thinking of you, and good on you for going to get tested because it's not easy. Definitely. Yeah. All right. Bree and Clint from iHeartRadio.

This is The Latest, live from LA with Dean McCarthy. Dean's over there in America. Dean, we've got news for you. We've just gone back into lockdown in New Zealand. Oh, look, I've heard this, but I can just say, look, you're doing the right thing. It's for a great cause. You're doing the right thing.

I've been in lockdown for five months now, and I'm so used to it. Yeah, right. When you say it like that, yeah. And to be honest, look, I mean, it worked the first time. It'll work this time. We just need to be, you know, sensible. We're going hard and we're going early.

Yeah. Hey, give us some good news because there is some good celebrity news floating around today. Oh, there's so much good celebrity news today. Ed Sheeran and Bindi Irwin, not together, have both announced that they are having children, not together, to their respective partners. This is good news.

Ed Sheeran, I guess you can say we all know what they've been up to in lockdown. Who's Ed Sheeran married to again? His childhood sweetheart. She's so adorable. They went to school together. They've literally been together. Well, they knew each other. They were, like, dating during school.

They separated or whatever, and then they rekindled their love for each other and they're having their first child. They're in like some mansion, you know, in lockdown and Bindi Irwin and her Australian husband are expecting their first child as well. It's exciting. This is good news for today. Um, is Ed, is that the Galway girl?

Oh, is it part of the Galway girl? Yeah, is it? Um, no, because is it? Is that the one he's sung about? Is that the one he's sung about? I don't know, because the Galway Girl? Yeah, is it? No, because it... Is it? Is that the one he's sung about? Is that the one he's sung about? I don't know, because a Galway Girl's from Ireland and she's British and if he went to school with her,

I don't know. She might be Irish. She might be Irish. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, you really did get me excited that Aidan Sheridan was having a baby with Bindi Irwin for a second.

Now, that would be a story for today. That would be an adorable kid. And there you go, instant celebrity child as well. Yeah, can you imagine how talented it would be? They'd be fighting crocodiles while singing on the guitar. It'd be awesome. All right, from our lockdown to yours,

it's nice to hear your voice, Dean, and we'd like to keep in touch with you while we're locked down. We've got to keep contact with the outside world, so we'll talk to you tomorrow. Yeah, exactly. I'll be your source for all things outside world. Love it. Thanks, Dean. Bree and Clint your source for all things outside world. Love it. Thanks, Dean.

Look, after the announcement last night from the Prime Minister in Bloomfield, I feel like we needed something good. Yes. You know, we needed a pick-me-up, something to go our way. Yep. And you wouldn't believe it, but I'm going to say probably the best news of the year is on the cusp. Okay.

It's breaking news. Everyone's favourite rock band, Nickelback, has teased that there will be new music. What a day. You said it was good news. This is great. I know you're not a fan. You said it was good news.

I know you're not a fan of the Nickel, but I'm a massive fan. I think they're so underrated and I think it's their time to come back. Is it? I feel like their time's been. I feel like we were stuck in their time for a long time. Yeah, well see, you're admitting that they had a really big high period. They did have a really big high period. And they're still great. And we've moved on.

No, they're still great. So apparently they've put up some teasers on Twitter with a few music notes. It's very cryptic, but it sounds like this. Oh, I'm keen. I'm keen. What do you mean?

Is that it? That sounds like the next one. Some drums and then joo-joo-joo. Why do you hate Nickelback so much? No, I'm going to take another listen. Haven't we been through enough this year? No, you listen to me. Haven't we been through enough?

No. Nickelback is what we need. Read the room, Nickelback. Haven't we been through enough? It's what we need to get us through 2020. I'm the biggest advocate for Nickelback. Oh, we know that. People are saying they reckon it could be the follow-up

to All The Right Reasons album. What does that even mean? So how do you not know that album? It was pretty much one of their best albums. It had Photograph, Far Away, Rockstar. Yeah. You know, all of those. Anyway, do you know that album was number one in New Zealand?

I'll bet it was. Exactly. So you can just pipe down because the numbers don't lie. Okay, great. I'm excited for you. I'm looking forward to new Nickelback. And to celebrate, we will be playing all Nickelback for the next hour. We will not.

No, we have checked it off. No, we will not. We've checked it off with Ross Boss. We'll be doing Fact of the Day. We'll be taking the Prime Minister's announcement. Okay, at least one. Give us one Nickelback song. I don't think that's possible either.

No, I don't think that's possible. Just one. Producer George is in. No. All we need is two votes. George is in. I'm in. Producer Ben hates them too.

We don't have time. No, we don't have time. I think we do. No, I don't think we have time. Well, we do have that morale boosting request song coming up in the four o'clock hour. Perfect. Maybe the people can get it across the line then. Oh, come on, guys.

Bree and Clint. Announcement live. Four probable cases. Based off the four confirmed ones yesterday. Yeah, linked directly to the four confirmed ones yesterday. And nowhere else is moving to level three, especially Rotorua staying in level two at the moment too. That's the gist of it. There'll be a full news update at five.

I want to talk about when a text has fallen into the wrong person's, would you say hands or eyes? Yeah, when it's, you know, someone that it wasn't meant for has seen it because there's a video that's doing the rounds and it's of a woman who, so let's set the scene. So there's the mum, her son-in-law is standing right next to her. Yeah.

His phone is on the table. Her daughter, who's obviously married to him, is standing across from the table. She sends him a flirty text. Across the table? Across the table. Romantic. Take a listen and see if you can divulge what happens.

I can't stop myself. You have to know. I really can't because if you don't stop me and he has no idea you have to know wait wait no I really can't because if you don't stop me did you read that that was my phone what is it

that is so gross what is it what can you turn it off what is it so the mum has seen it it looks like the mum

sounds like the mum has picked up the phone and intentionally read it yeah so the phone was picked up the phone and intentionally read it. Yeah, so the phone was sitting in between them and she thought it was her phone, so she's just kind of looked at it. And she's seen the whole thing and described it as gross. What do you think it was from that? Do you think it was a picture?

No, I think it was a text. A text? I think you can kind of see it in the video that it is a text. She's suggesting that they go and do something. Yeah, I think it's something, you know, let's go do this later or something like that. And as a mother, I'm sure she doesn't want to see that. She doesn't want to see that message from her daughter.

No, no. As much as the daughter doesn't want to see that message from her mum. You know? Look, I know you're doing it. I just don't want to know anything about it. Yeah, I don't want to know about it. I don't know anything about it. If I don't know about it, it didn't happen.

This is the risk of reading other people's text messages, though. And I do this by accident all the time with my wife. What do you mean? The phone will ding and I'll just pick it up and look at it. Do you guys have the same phone? No, they don't even look the same. That sounds dodgy. She's got an iPhone and I've got a Samsung.

Sounds like an excuse. No, but it's an impulse. And then she'll pull me up on it and she'll go, excuse me. But then I'll say to her, come on, what messages are you getting that I can't see? And she says, well, I might be getting something. Yeah, you never know. That's her personal business.

Oh, yeah, I know, I know. But, yeah, I haven't seen anything bad yet, but I need to get a handle on it because I think – One day something's going to come up. Something could come up. Something could come up. Not that I want it to, not that I suspect anything. I'm digging a hole here.

Come on. You are digging a massive hole. That's strange that you automatically pick come up. Something could come up. Not that I want it to. Not that I suspect anything. I'm digging a hole here. Come on. You are digging a massive hole. That's strange that you automatically pick it up. It's just a reflex thing like the mum did in that video club. It's just a reflex thing. Yeah, especially when you've got a different phone. She's changed her thing now. Has she?

So the details don't come up. It's that much of a problem. Yeah. That you do it that often. It's not about me. Ask your dumb question that you want to ask. No, I feel like it is about you now. That's interesting.

No, thanks for sharing that. Ask the question. I want to know from people, when did a text that you sent someone get into the wrong hands? Right, okay. Who saw it? Who saw your text? Yeah.

Who saw the text that they weren't meant to see? If that makes sense. You know, like the time you went through my phone? Oh, yeah, on your nudes. That's right. 0800 dial ZM. Who saw your text? Is that what it is?

Who saw your text? And what was it about? Or you can text us, funnily enough, on 9696. When did a text that you sent get into the wrong hands? There's been a little bit of an incident in a family where a mother-in-law has seen a sexy, flirty text that was meant

to go from her daughter to her husband. The mum has picked up the phone and she's... No, it was meant to go from her daughter to her son-in-law. The way you said it makes it sound like it was meant to go to... Oh, to her dad! Yeah, what Clint said. Anyway, she's picked it up

and she's seen it. Yeah. And it's very awkward. And this is the sound of it. I can't stop myself. And he had no idea. You have to know. Wait, wait, no.

I really can't because if you don't stop me... Did you read that? That was my phone. What is it? That is so... Whoa. What is it? That is so gross. What is it? What?

What is it? Good to know your daughter's relationship is alive and well, you know? Healthy. Healthy. Healthy relationship. We've asked you this afternoon, when has a text you've sent got into the wrong hands? Alex has called up. Hi, Alex.

Hi, Alex. Hi. How are you? Good. How are you? Yeah, I'm doing all. Alex has called up. Hi, Alex. Hi, Alex. Hi, how are you? Good, how are you? Yeah, I'm doing alright, doing alright. That's good. What happened? Who did you send a text to accidentally or did someone pick up your phone? Um, so around Christmas time, I decided

to treat myself to a new Apple Watch. Great. So my mum was quite interested in it, so I was like putting it on her showing her what all this does and then my boyfriend sent me a very suggestive picture and it showed up on the wall.

Oh your poor boyfriend the faces on those watches aren't that big either. Yeah so luckily his face wasn't in it Was your mum wearing the watch? Yes, I was like holding it on her, showing her what

size it can go and all of that. Your boyfriend gave your mum a wristie. Does that work? I don't know. But yeah, it was definitely

something that was quite embarrassing and has been... How awkward. Yeah. Yeah, hard to come back from that one. Yeah.

What do you do after that? Don't share Apple Watches, everybody. That's the advice. Hi, Kirsty. Hi, Kirsty. Hey, guys. How are you? Good, thank you.

Has this happened to you, Kirsty? Yeah, probably on more than one occasion. What are you doing? One in particular that sticks out, I suppose. So, yeah, many of your girlfriends were having a few wines one night, as you do, and had probably a few too many, and I thought that it would be a great idea to send my ex-boyfriend a message. Okay. Oh, no.

So you could imagine what the context included. So I thought that I had his number in my call history. So I, you know, sent a message, or maybe a few messages, I don't quite recall. You didn't guess the number. It wasn't even attached to a name. No, it wasn't attached to a name. It was in my call history. And so I was like, yep, that's him, that's him.

Oh, no. Okay, and what happened? No, no. So it turns out it wasn't the ex-boyfriend. It was my 60-plus-year-old insurance broker. Well, you're going to get a great deal on insurance the next time you go in. Kirstie's premiums are coming down, Kirstie. That's fantastic.

That is amazing. Emma, finally, who saw your text messages? My dad. So I was texting a friend. Well, I thought I was texting my friend about an indoor gardening experience I'd had. Oh, a bit of a rendezvous, yes. Yeah, and I sent it and then looked down and saw Dad. And I had a contact.

Like I tried to come back to them. They need to invent retrieving a text message.

How is that not a thing yet? How can you not unsend a text message? And you

can't delete it. You should have just looked at your dad if he was looking at

you and been like well now it's your turn to share a story. Keeping up

Brought to you by the Spinoff Podcast Network in partnership with Spark Lab. Brie and Clint. I reckon we're about to play Nickelback. We've asked you to tell us what song we need to play to boost the morale of the nation. Look, it's been a hard day for our country again. And we believe in breaking the tension with music. That's right.

And what better? And this segment has been railroaded by New Zealand's leading Nickelback fan, Brie Thomasel. I just think, give the nation what they want, and the text machine has gone nuts for a bit of Nickelback. Abby, hi. Hello. I love Nickelback.

I'm so glad that you're playing this segment. I'm going to... Yes, Abby! Abby, you're going to stay here as our third... You're going to be our third juror to help pick the songs. I'll just run through the options that we've been texting. Oh, okay, great. So far, we've had a suggestion of Nickelback, Someday. I mean, it's all right.

That's a good song, but there's better. Don't worry, Abby. There's plenty more Nickelback suggestions. It's not all Nickelback. Natasha Bedingfield. It's a good song, but there's better. Don't worry, Abby. There's plenty more Nickelback suggestions. It's not all Nickelback. Natasha Bedingfield. It's great. Not great. No, this is great.

This is great. No Nickelback. It's not Nickelback, though. It's not Nickelback. We've had Nickelback suggested How You Remind Me. Yeah, that's a good one. I mean, this is one of the legendary Nickelback songs. It's a classic.

Isn't it? It's a classic. It's one of their best apps. We the legendary Nickelback songs. It's a classic. Isn't it? It's a classic. It's one of their best apps. We've had a Nickelback suggested photograph. I mean, look at this photograph. I mean, it's a great song. It's overplayed, but it's a great song.

It's such a good song. It's a meme. It's everything. The memes are so good for this. The memes are good. Not all Nickelback, like I said, we've had Sandstorm suggested. It's iconic. This is great. That would boost morale.

It would boost morale. Good. Good to hear you're impartial. Is it as iconic as Nickelback? We've also had... Well, they've got a one-time banger. We've also had Nickelback Rockstar suggested. This one. Well, they've got a one-time banger. We've also had Nickelback rock star suggest.

This one. This is such a tune. This is absolutely 110% that. And, Abby, do you agree, as my fellow Nickelback fan, a very underrated song that doesn't get played enough? Absolutely. I know what's going to happen. I know what's going to happen. You two are going to gang up on me and my vote will be irrelevant.

Look, you're either in or you're out. Let's vote. Let's vote. Let's vote. I vote Natasha Bedingfield. Boo! Oh, mate. That is a bad choice.

God, let's go. That is meant to be your morale-boosting request today and it was hijacked by Bree and we ended up playing a really long Nickelback song. I just wanna read you this one message from... I can feel the love on the text machine. A lot of very appreciative people, Nickelback fans. I just want to read you this one message. I can feel the love on the text machine. A lot of very appreciative people, Nickelback fans. It's polarising.

I'll go as far as that. One message from Ross Boss. My morale has never been so low. Ross Boss, you don't know what you're talking about. Bree and Clint. Because we've got haikus to do. Welcome to Haiku Corner, everybody. If you didn't listen to us during lockdown, then God, you missed out

because we reflected almost every day with haiku poetry as a way of getting in touch with our emotions, and we're going to do it again now that we're back in lockdown. A haiku is a Japanese poem of 17 syllables. It goes five syllables, seven syllables, and then five syllables. And through that, you can communicate how you're feeling. Today's topic. I feel like I'm at a massage parlor. Right. No, no.

No, no. Like I'm relaxed. Like a spa. Yeah. Right, right. Today's theme, how are you feeling? That's today's topic. And we've all prepared a haiku. Who would like to go first today with their haiku? I don't mind.

I'll start. Producer Ben. Welcome. Thanks, guys. Welcome. Welcome to the poetry circle. And the spa. And welcome.

And the spa. Okay, are you ready? Please give us your haiku. The topic is, how are you feeling? Okay. Mine's titled, lockdown is here. A new lockdown is here. Please, everyone, do your job.

Stay home and be safe. So wise. Thank you. So serious as well So serious Okay I'll go next Okay I'll step up next To the poetry podium

Okay off you go I've entitled mine Oh you haven't Just the topic How are you feeling? How am I feeling? Surprised Concerned? Aroused? No. I'm mostly hungry. That seemed long. It wasn't long, it was perfect actually. Was it perfect? Yeah. How, now, why don't we just, No, don't justify it. We believe you.

I would like our fill-in producer, Georgia, from the jam-packed workday to go next. Okay. Eminem once said, guess who's back? Back again. Well,

COVID's back. Tell them. Oh, Michael. Very good. You just stole someone else's lyrics. Very smart and very wise.

I know, so wise. Did yours even have the right amount of syllables? I'm on. It's been checked. We're going to have to take her word for it. Okay, that means our final poet today with her lockdown haiku. And feel free to submit a haiku on the text machine too, 9696. We would love to hear your poetry.

If it's good enough, we'll even share it. But Brie Thomasale is going to take us out. My haiku is titled Tears of a Clown. Good. It's a good title. Honey, get the beers. Lockdown again. Let's say cheers. No, here come the beers. Lock down again. Let's say cheers.

No. Here come the tears. Why was it titled that? Tears of a clown? Because I'm the clown. And there was no beers because everyone panic bought them. It's actually quite good. Thank you.

I saw that Dua Lipa was on the Jimmy Kimmel show. Oh, the Kimmy Jimmel show. The Kimmy Jimmel. Jimmy Fallon, Kimmy Jimmel. No, she was on the Kimmy Jimmel show. And they did this game called Who-A-Lipa. Okay. Where essentially she interviewed

a bunch of the older generation and asked if they knew who Dua Lipa was and then if they could identify her music. Take a listen. Do you know who Dua Lipa is? Do we brothers? Okay, I'm going to play some music for you and you just let me

know what you think. Okay. Love it, love it, love it. What's the name of it? Break My Heart. Do you think she has like a future in the music industry? I don't know, she might do well on TikTok. That was quite interesting. They had no idea they were talking to Dua Lipa.

None of them had heard of the song. No. My mum is the oldest person I know and she's been saying to me for the past couple of years because you do radio and I listen to your show, I'm really good at you know. She's up to date. I'm up to date

with the kids, with the music. So I thought we could play our own version of Who A Leaper with her this afternoon. Test her knowledge of the ZM playlist. Hello. Mama Di, welcome to Who A Leaper. Are you ready to play? knowledge of the ZM playlist. Hello? Mama Di, welcome to Who A Leaper? Are you ready to play? Oh, what?

What am I thought for what? Is it worth a lot of money? She sounds ready. Let's go. Yeah, she sounds ready. Mum, the aim of the game is how well do you know the kids' pop music of today? Oh, no, Brianna. I won't know it.

Clint, please play Mum's song number one. I'm going to die. Who sings this? Who's that? All we need is a name. For $100. It's a woman, Mum. No, that's a no. Sorry, that was Dua Lipa, unfortunately.

We have to move on. Moving on to song number two. Who's this? Who sings that song? Christina. Christina who? That's a real old reference. Thank you, Lara.

No, that is one of your favourite artists, Ariane de Grande, as you like to say. Oh, Ariane de Grande. Oh, jeez. Yeah, let's play song number three. This is for $300. Who sings this? Don't show up. Don't come out. Don't come out.

Don't start caring. Jason Derulo. No, mum! Jason Derulo is a man that is clearly a woman. No, that again is Dua Lipa. The same artist as the first one. I like that song, actually. Yeah.

Okay. Not enough Jason Derulo on it for me. Who sings this song? Stay with me Cause I Come on, Mum. Harry Styles. Mum, you know this song. You bought tickets

and you took me to the concert. Oh, Sam. Sam Smith. I love Sam Smith. You've got three more chances, okay? Three more songs. Who's this one? Who's that?

I'll give you a clue. It's not Jason Derulo. Sounds a lot like Jason Derulo, though, apparently, according to you. Oh, no. Mum, it's Dua Lipa again. Oh, Dua Lipa. Two more. Two more, okay?

Come on, she's got to get one. You must know this one. You've got to know it. Hold on, wait. Give her a bit more. Give her the chorus. Mum? There you go.

Mum, here's your hint. Her dad has a mullet. Oh, she married the Australian guy. Yes, yes. Oh, it's... Oh, I'm trying to blank. We're going to need an answer. Rhymes with Stiley Myrus.

Miley Cyrus. Yay! You're one from six and there's one left. The jackpot for $1,000. You get this, you win the whole game. Who is this? What do you got? Who is it, Mum?

No idea. Mum! Please, just have a guess. Who has come up a lot in this game as a reoccurring artist? Who's been every second answer? Oh, the woman with the weird name. We need something, Mum.

That was Dua Lipa. Again, it was Dua Lipa. Say that, Dua Lipa. Dua Lipa, yeah. Ariadne de Grande. Oh my God, Mum. Give me the old stuff and I'd still struggle probably. We did, we gave you Leeper, Leeper, yeah. Ariadne de Grande. Oh, my God. Mum. Goodness me. Give me the old stuff and I'd still struggle, probably.

We did. We gave you Miley Cyrus. All right, that wraps up the game. Send her off, Brie. Why didn't you put Harry in there somewhere? I know Harry's soul. Mum, go have another wine. See ya.

Oh, no. I think I'll go and have another scotch. I need a scotch. After that. Hopefully this will brighten up your afternoon a little bit. We'll take these three people's birthdays and we'll figure out what was number one on their 16th. Hi, Ellie from the Hut Valley.

Hi there. Hello, mate. How are you? Good. How are you, Ellie? I'm very good. Hi there. Hello, mate. How are you? Good. How are you, Ellie? I'm very good. That's good to hear. What's your birthday, Ellie from Hutt Valley?

It's the 19th of June, 58. All right. You were 16 in 1974 on the 19th of June. Yeah. And Ellie from the Hutt Valley, this is your birthday banger. Oh, I love this one. Oh, that's not yours. That's the wrong one.

Sorry, Ellie. Hold on. Let's do it. And this is your birthday banger. Just as good, right, Ellie, from Hutt Valley? Absolutely. I like the country one, yep. Yeah, good.

Bit of a banger. My bad. Let's talk to Hayley. Hi, Hayley. Hi, Hayley. Hi, Hayley. Hi. How are you doing? Oh, not bad.

I'm hoping it's a good one since I may have to cancel my 30th in a couple of weeks. No! Oh, no! Hopefully not. It's only a three-day lockdown at the moment, Hayley.

We're going to keep our fingers crossed. What's your birthday? 28th of August, 1990. You were 16 in 2006 on the 28th of August. And Hayley, this is your birthday? 28th of August, 1919. You were 16 in 2006 on the 28th of August. And Hayley, this is your birthday banger. Oh no, wrong one.

This is not your birthday banger. Sorry, I got it wrong again. It's alright. This is good. This is a really good one. Deja Vu, Beyoncé. I don't think we've ever had this. Do you like it, Hayley?

I do like that one. Yeah, that's a tune. It is in the 30th playlist. Yeah, and it should be too. It's good. It's good. Cool. Okay, great.

It's got Jay-Z on it. It's Jay-Z and Beyoncé. Julie, hi. Hi, Jules. Hi. Hi. What's your birthday? 13th of the 8th of 74. Alright, you were 16

in 1990 on the 13th of August. And on that day, this was Top of the Charts. Who would have thought, Julie? Third time lucky you got it right. Third time lucky you got it right, Julie. About time, Julie. Hey, Julie, we're it right. Third time lucky, you got it right, Julie. About time, Julie. Hey, Julie, we're in this together, okay?

Yeah. Do you like your birthday faggot? I do, because it's tomorrow, of course, so why not? Your birthday's tomorrow. You've got the same birthday as my mum. Happy birthday tomorrow. Oh, happy birthday, guys. Is it your mum's birthday tomorrow?

Yeah, it is, yeah. And we just had her on the show, and you didn't even tell me it's her birthday tomorrow. But it's not today. It's tomorrow. Well, I don't know if I'm going to talk to her tomorrow. We'll get her back on tomorrow. Birthday Eve.

Yeah, birthday Eve. All right. Julie, we've got a tough decision to make. Hang on. Wait there. That song in Aussie, The Eagle Rock, if it plays in any public place, you have to take your pants off. Yeah, right.

Me and my friends have got the same deal with John Farnham, The Voice. Right. Is that just a thing between your friends? Yeah, yeah. That's awkward if you go out in public. We're trying to get it to catch on. No one else knows about it? It doesn't make much sense.

So you get arrested? I vote, I don't know if you're going to agree with me, I vote Beyonce Deja Vu today. Do you? Yeah, I think that song's awesome. I haven't heard it for ages. Yeah. It's got the vibes.

It's got the pump-up vibes. It's going to bring us back from that horrific Nickelback song we played 20 minutes ago. I think I like the Kung Fu Fighting song, but is that appropriate in 2020? I don't know. This is the issue.

I don't know if Kung Fu Fighting has passed the test. I heard a rumour that it hasn't. It hasn't. So it hasn't aged appropriately. I reckon don't vote for it just to be safe. Well, Eagle Rock has, I know for a fact. Vote for what you want.

I feel like we're going to split decision. Eagle Rock. Okay, we're going to split decision today. Producer Ben, what is the winner of Birthday Banger this afternoon? Eagle Rock. Yes, she's had a good day. We just played that Nickelback song. Yeah, but the Nickelback's nothing like Eagle Rock.

Eagle Rock's a classic, mate. This is actually, we got in heaps of trouble last time we played this. Yeah, are you sure? No, not really, but I like it. I like the Eagle Rock. You're thinking the Beyonce one, right? It is quite slow, isn't it? It is quite slow.

Yeah, it is true. Aren't we trying to bring things up? Yeah, okay, then Beyonce. Okay, isn't it? It is quite slow. Yeah, it is true. Aren't we trying to bring things up? Yeah, okay, then Beyonce. Okay, fine, I'll change it. Bass. Oh, yeah, that is fun. Where's your backbone? I have none.

No, where's your head at? Jesus Christ. Eagle Rock. Eagle Rock. Let's go. This is a good birthday party. And this is the winner Brian Clance

I used to run bass Like Juan Pierre Now I run the bass High hat and a snare I used to bag girls Like turtlenecks Now I bag people Boy you hurting it

Brooklyn Bay Where they birth me at Now I be everywhere The nerve will rap The audacity to have me With them curtains back Me and B She about to sting

Stand back Baby Seem like everywhere I go I see you From your eyes I smile, it's like I breathe you Carelessly I reminisce, don't want to compare nobody to you Boy, I try to catch myself But I'm out of control This dancing is so appealing I can't let it go Know that I can't get over you

Cause everything I see is you And I don't want no substitute Baby, I swear it's deja vu Know that I can't get over you Cause everything I see is you And I don't want no substitute Cause everything I see is true And I don't want no substitute Baby, I swear it's danger I've seen

Things that I know can't be Am I dreaming? When I saw you walking past me Almost called your name Got a better glimpse And then I looked away Feels like I'm losing it Boy, I try to catch myself but I'm out of control Your sexiness is so appealing I can't let it go

Know that I can't get over you Cause everything I see is you And I don't want no substitute Baby, I swear it's deja vu Know that I can't get over you, baby I swear it's deja vu I'm gonna clean it all for you, cause everything I see is you And I don't want no substitute, baby I swear it's deja vu Yes, ho, this flow so unusual Baby girl, you should already know it's H.O. Light up the show, cause you gon' need help Try to study my bounce flow, flow

What's the difference? One you taking vein while the other you sniffing It's still dope, ho-po, try to convict them That's a no-go, my dope, keep the scales Tipping like faux, faux Like I'm from the H-O-U-S-T-O-N Blowin', so Chicago up him Is he the best ever? That's the argument I don't make the list, don't be mad at me

I just make the hits like a factory I'm just one to one, nothing after me No deja vu, just me and my own Baby, I can't go anywhere Without thinking that you're there Seems like you're everywhere, it's true Gotta be having deja vu Look at my mind, I want you here

Get on the next plane, I don't care Is it because I'm missing you That I'm having deja vu? Boy, I try to catch myself I don't care. Thank you. When the eagle rocks. Sid M. Brinkland. Sung my own version. We might have gone safe today on Birthday Banger. It was so safe. We needed to.

We needed to. It made me sick. We needed to. We had the eagle rock. We had the opportunity to play one of the best pub songs of all time, Eagle Rock. No, you got Nickelback played today. And then we had Kung Fu Fighting, which we weren't sure if it was cultural appropriation or not, so we got scared and we didn't play it.

Bree's Googled it. What's the result? Apparently, it's like up to interpretation. Right. So no, not directly. The important thing to remember is that was the original from the 70s, not the fun version that you would be thinking of. Yeah, who did this version?

A guy called Bus Stop. Oh, this is good at weddings, isn't it? Oh, mate. Let's go. I think the dance moves that people do at weddings, that might be cultural appropriation. Yeah, right. Bree and Clint. Look, that might be cultural appropriation. Yeah, right. Bree and Clint.

Look, it's incredibly challenging times again. Stuff has just ramped up in the last 24 hours, and it's got quite hectic. And we know, even just looking at the text machine, that people are feeling it all over the place at the moment, right? I think the best way to describe it is people are overwhelmed, and I think the uncertainty is what overwhelms people, makes people anxious, makes people nervous. It's a natural thing.

And a lot of us are feeling that right now. You've spoken very bravely publicly before about your struggles with mental health. And I think there's a conversation which is opening up all over the country, which is really good and really positive. So we thought this afternoon we would get an expert on. Please welcome to the show, Bree's therapist and my therapist as well, Jock Matthews. Good afternoon. G'day, Jock. Hello there. Good to talk on the radio. Is this normal for you? Is this what all of your clients do? No, it's not, but I'm okay with it to help with what's happening,

particularly, as you said, Brie, the uncertainty of what people are dealing with is the big issue. To be honest with you, we just wanted to get you on so this counts as like a free session for us. Yeah, will you be billing us for this? Radio therapy. No, there'll be no invoice coming your way. You're fine, all good.

Jock is an expert, and we wondered, Jock, if you could provide our listeners with some easy, some simple coping mechanisms that they can use for people who are feeling anxious, they are feeling stressed out, and they are feeling this situation get on top of them at the moment. What are some steps that people can take to keep themselves healthy and safe at the moment? Well, I think focus on what you can change or what you can manage is probably important rather

than what you can't control. And that as a general rule can help you engage in things that make a difference. Just be mindful of attending to the news too much. Now, I mean, telling the two of you that you shouldn't listen to the radio or attending too much news will probably annoy you. But actually making a decision about learning about what's happening, say, once, twice a day rather than constantly checking, I think is useful because we get bombarded with negative news. The other thing is, as I mentioned, control what you can. Wash your hands, engage in good hygiene, because at this stage,

in a potential escalation of community contagion, I think we need to do that. And the social distancing that we may have got a bit slack with, I think is really important. Take advice from the experts around that. We have got a bit slack with, I think is really important. Take advice from the experts around that. We've had good advice to date. We need to kind of keep that up. The other thing that people can do is they can exercise regularly. And if your listeners need to do something or take some advice, is to do it daily. Because that can help with metabolizing stress hormones. It can help you feel more in

control. It gets you out of your house and it makes a difference. The other thing that I've been advising people over the last three or four months is to deal with the what-ifs and the spiraling kind of thoughts that people have. And they can do that by grounding yourself in the present. So rather than jumping ahead or kind of flipping too much on the past and what happened, is just try and stay present. Slow your breathing down. Look at kind of staying connected with the people that make a difference in your life.

And that's, to be honest, Jock, you and I have talked a lot about that. That's something that I really struggle with. And something that I find probably helps me is when my thoughts start to get away from me and it starts to get bigger and bigger, I kind of focus on, right, I'm going to focus on tomorrow. What can I do tomorrow? I'm going to exercise. I'm going to go to work. And I'm going to get that stuff done.

And then you go to the next day. Manageable chunks. Yeah. And you just do it day by day. Yeah. Absolutely. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, that you just do it day by day. Absolutely. Yeah, that's really, I love that because it's stuff that people can do. You're talking about exercising, you're talking about reducing things down to manageable things

because you're right, no one person is going to solve this situation, so you should focus on the things you can control. Is that fair enough to say, Jock? Absolutely, absolutely. The other thing is just be conscious of talking about it all the time. Yeah. Because it can get a bit contagious. Sure, it's important we do what we do,

but also focus and connect on other areas in your life and other things you can do. That's what we're trying to do, Jock. After this, we're going to do like some fart jokes or something. Yeah, straight into some really good fart jokes. Yeah, we're not going to focus on COVID for like the next 30 minutes. Hey, that's our therapist. That's an insight into Bree and my life

as much as it is as advice for you. That's Jock Matthews. He's a qualified therapist, qualified psychologist. And that is the advice that is going to help, hopefully get you through a stressful situation at the moment. Thanks, Jock. We really appreciate it.

Bree and Clint. Look, Jock. We really appreciate it. Look, we thought we broadcasted from the last ever Blockbuster closing down in Dargaville that one time, but turns out there is still one more. So it was the second last. I can't believe the owner of Blockbuster Dargaville lied to us. He bloody lied to us. Hey, it was the last one in New Zealand. It was the last one in Dargaville. Yeah, it was the last one in Dargaville lied to us. He bloody lied to us. Hey, it was the last one in New Zealand. It was the last one in Dargaville.

Yeah, it was the last one in Dargaville. But no, apparently the last Blockbuster is still alive and kicking, and it's in Oregon in the USA. Right. I did hear a rumor about this, and I don't think I wanted to believe it. No, it is true, and it's in the news today because apparently they're turning the Blockbuster store, the last one, into an Airbnb that you can stay in. Whoa, what a great idea.

How cool is that? So they've turned like, I think they've got like certain pods inside the DVD store where they've turned it into like a living room. Like you can stay in the kids section. You can stay in the thriller section. And they've got like a TV and all that set up so you can watch whatever you want. Can you stay in the adults only area? I don't know.

That might cost extra. With that flappy saloon door? I think that costs extra and you don't want to walk around without socks on in that area either. Like most hotels. No, yeah, apparently they're only doing it for like a couple of, yeah apparently they're only doing it for like a couple of nights so they're not doing it forever. Oh, it's not

permanent. No, they're doing it as like a thank you to the community for being like Before they close down? No, I don't think they're closing down. I think it's just like a thank you. Because surely they would make more money as an Airbnb than they would as a video rental store.

Because who is renting videos? That is so true. To be like a nostalgia thing. You know who's got a good video store? Is the hunting and fishing shop in Whangamata. And that's in the Coromandel in the North Island. But that's because in summer when everyone goes there. They've all just got DVD players.

They've all got DVD players. but also there's no fibre. And so when everyone comes in, most of them are on 4G internet. And so the internet slows down. So you can't use any streaming. So the DVD store goes, ha ha ha, look who came. Boom, here we go. Crawling back. Would you like Pretty Woman or Jurassic Park?

Because I've got both. That happened when I went to Raglan one time. We were staying at this batch and there was literally a VHS player. Oh, that old. And that was it. Yeah. And we were like, where the hell are we going to get that from? Yeah.

And we went down to the thrift store and they had a couple of old videotapes there. What did you get? I think we ended up getting New York Minute with the Olsen twins. It was a good watch. That's good. Yeah, it was really good. Yeah, yeah. It was literally like going back in time.

It would be. Yeah. Remember when you had to rewind your videos back? You didn't have to. It was just the polite thing to do. What do you mean? You were one of the people. It said be kind rewind.

It didn't say you have to rewind. You're one of those. No wonder my video easy closed down. ZM's Free and Clint. The podcast with mobile smiles. Register, fill up, redeem points for rewards. Easy. If you enjoyed this podcast,
