Okay, I want to keep talking about this. We can't, we have to go. Here's the podcast. People have been shifted so far. Testing for some STIs has been halted so labs can process COVID tests.
Starting point is 00:03:56 Family planning says unless people have symptoms, they won't be tested. Some health officials say that's an issue as many STIs don't have symptoms. And Victoria's looking at expanding its state of emergency. It's due to expire on September 13, but Premier Daniel Andrews says some rules will need to stay in place till there's a vaccine. There's been 116 new COVID cases and 15 deaths in the past 24 hours. That's news. I'm Lauren Mabbitt.
Starting point is 00:04:18 For more on COVID, 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. Hey Siri, when are Bree and Clint on? Bree and Clint are on air in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. G'day everybody, yeah we're on air a little so early
Starting point is 00:04:42 so we can get things moving before Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern takes to the podium and announces what's happening. Yeah, this is the big day, 3pm announcement. What will be happening beyond Wednesday, right? Place your bets. Everybody do this. Everybody do this. What's happening?
Starting point is 00:04:58 What is Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern going to say is happening? I think it'll be an extra week. You think another week? Like we are. I think it's definitely longer. I'm thinking end of this week. End of the weekend. Okay.
Starting point is 00:05:09 Sunday midnight will come out. But I don't know. I've got no idea. Interesting. I wonder if there's any like where you can bet on it. TAB odds. TAB odds, yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:20 Oh, please get that up and running. There's no rugby to bet on. So we've got to bet on something. Yeah, there's no cricket happening. I mean, the netball was last night, but that's over now too. Oh, yeah, the netball was good. I watched the Warriors game yesterday too. Oh, Warriors.
Starting point is 00:05:31 It's our year, baby. They're back. Yeah, Warriors. Anyway, we're here. We're early. We're trying to get things moving in time for the big announcement. So we'll get into the music. And as soon as Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern takes to the podium,
Starting point is 00:05:41 we will go live to Parliament to find out what's happening. Level 3 and Level 2, are they going to become Level 1 and 2? Let's hope we don't go up. Oh, please don't go up. Here's a job application to change subjects quite quickly.
Starting point is 00:06:00 There is a US website called dehumidifiercritic.com, which can I say sounds like my kind of website. dehumidifiercritic.com which can I say sounds like my kind of website dehumidifiercritic as a recent purchaser of a dehumidifier
Starting point is 00:06:11 and a passionate I would call myself a passionate dehumidifier because with that dehumidifier I dehumidify aren't you a passionate dehumidifier
Starting point is 00:06:20 yeah dehumidifierer dehumidifierer yeah that's what it is no I'm a dehumidifier who owns a dehumidifier? Yeah. Hurrah. Dehumidifierer. Dehumidifierer. That's what it is. No, I'm a dehumidifier who owns a dehumidifier, I think. Are you sure? I think that's how it works.
Starting point is 00:06:32 Dehumidifierer. No, you can't hurrah it. Okay. Anyway, look, look, look, look. This site, Dehumidifier Critic, are looking to hire a Karen. What? Do they just, wait, let me, let me. Do they just review dehumidifiers?
Starting point is 00:06:48 Exactly right. That's it. How many dehumidifiers can there be? I don't even know. You'll be contracted on a three-month contract and within that they want you to review three dehumidifiers a week. So that's 12 a month, 12, 24, 36.
Starting point is 00:07:02 You're going to have to review a minimum of 36 dehumidifiers. That's a lot. Quite a lot of dehumidifiers. And your name does not have to be Karen. You just have to have a Karen attitude. So you need to be, you know, pretty onto it. They've said hypocritical and opinionated. I was saying the nice way.
Starting point is 00:07:18 Yeah, right, right, right, right. You also need to man their phone service. They're launching a Caller Karen. Right. So if you have a Karen-style complaint and you want to speak to the manager. You speak to Karen. You speak to Karen. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:30 I mean, that's smart. Fight Karens with Karen. Fight Karens with Karens. Yeah. And you can do the job from home, which is excellent. That's good. In these COVID times. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:39 So I imagine that means you could do it from New Zealand. I mean, it might cost a lot to ship the dehumidifiers over here. Yeah. But hopefully you're reviewing dehumidifiers from Mitre 10 Mega. Like, to be honest. And they've got click and collect at the moment, so you'll be fine. I know this story is doing the rounds today because it's, you know, obviously jumping on that trendy Karen bandwagon.
Starting point is 00:07:57 But I still can't get past the fact that there's a whole entire website for reviewing dehumidifiers. Yeah, to be honest. Like, very niche. past the fact that there's a whole entire website for reviewing dehumidifiers. Yeah, to be honest. Like, very niche. Like... If this is the job for you, it's paying $65 an hour. I mean, sign me up then. I'll get the haircut as well.
Starting point is 00:08:19 Bree and Clint. From iHeartRadio. This is... The latest live from LA with Dean McCarthy. It's on and it's off and then it's on and then it's off. Dean, what's happening with the Friends reunion? Oh, I thought you were talking about Brad and Andrew's relationship. No, here's the deal, right?
Starting point is 00:08:35 Here's the deal. I cannot believe I'm even reporting this, but the Friends reunion, we've been waiting for it. They've all signed on. There's millions of dollars. It's now off because, wait, wait wait wait wait because the actual executive producer wants and is demanding a studio audience he said the format is non-scripted but it does require a studio audience for that live energy feedback so it can't be like a socially distanced audience with like four of them you know
Starting point is 00:09:02 yeah so what does that mean? Basically, I don't know when this is going to be then, but apparently the goal is they will do it once they can have a studio audience that are allowed to have it. So I don't know when that will be. You know, last year, Dean, do you remember Clint and I made a bet? He made a bet saying that he reckoned the Friends reboot would happen before the end of the year last year.
Starting point is 00:09:25 I said it would be announced before the end of the year, and it wasn't. And it wasn't, so he had to eat cat food. Go double or nothing. I bet that they won't film it before the end of this year. Oh, or what? Eat more cat food? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:37 Oh! Well, let me get some expert advice. Dean, do you think this is a wise bet to make? Do you think that the reunion is going to happen before the end of the year? No, I honestly don't. I honestly don't. I think it's too risky with those big stars in a small confined space. I think it
Starting point is 00:09:52 won't happen this year. I'm sorry, everyone. I don't need to be the bearer of negative Nancy or anything. I just don't think it's happening. Cat food and the other person has to give you $200. If I eat the cat food, I get $200? No. No. If you bet with me and lose... Then I eat cat food and give get $200. No. What? No, if you bet with me and lose. Then I eat cat food and give you $200.
Starting point is 00:10:08 No, no deal. No, no bet. Sorry, no. Okay, just the cat food. I do like the, back to the story, I do like the sounds of this reunion more because they need a studio audience, which makes it sound like they're actually going to be performing
Starting point is 00:10:20 rather than it just be an interview panel show. I know it's unscripted, but hopefully they're just going to do some like improv. I don't know what it's going to be. It's going to be strange rather than it just being an interview panel show. I know it's unscripted but hopefully they're just going to do some like improv. I don't know what it's going to be. It's going to be strange I think.
Starting point is 00:10:28 Some like Friends style theatre sports where Joey bursts in and Rachel's like thank goodness you're here. That'd be so strange. That is the latest
Starting point is 00:10:37 Live Out of Los Angeles with Dean McCarthy. Thanks to the University of Auckland. Register for the Engineering Open Day online happening tomorrow. So we don't have a bet then?
Starting point is 00:10:47 I'll think about it. Okay, you think about it. Bree and Clint. Exciting news out today. The new Batman trailer dropped. R. Pat. R. Pattinson. Robert Pattinson, obviously from the Twilight films, the saga.
Starting point is 00:11:03 He's now a vampire bet. He's now a, yeah. That makes sense, doesn't it? Which, you know, people are on the fence about our Pats a little bit, aren't they, being the new Batman. I'm not. I think he'll be great. I think he's going to be very good.
Starting point is 00:11:18 Well, he is good. It's just the bar is so high. Christian Bale's Batman was so good and those Batman movies were so good, you'll notice that I've skipped Ben Affleck. See, Christian Bale is Batman. Christian Bale's Batman was so good, and those Batman movies were so good, you'll notice that I've skipped Ben Affleck. See, Christian Bale is Batman. Christian Bale's Batman. And it's weird that you're mentioning all these different people that played Batman because I've come up with this game.
Starting point is 00:11:36 What bat is that? What bat is that? What bat is that? What bat? Whoa, whoa. The only ever be one batman. Stupid. See what you've done there.
Starting point is 00:11:50 Pretty simple game, Clint. Obviously off the back of, you know, the release of the new Batman film with Robert Pattinson as the new Batman. We're going to play a game of what bat is that? And you'll be taking on Adam, which is very fitting considering Adam West, one of the most prevalent Batmans of all time. Hi, Adam. Hello.
Starting point is 00:12:10 You know your bats? Oh, I'd like to think so, yeah. Let's go for it. Pretty simple game, gentlemen. Here this afternoon, your name is your buzzer. All you have to do is listen to the clip and tell me what bat is that? You all right down there? Here it goes.
Starting point is 00:12:29 Adam. Adam's here. What bat? Whoa, whoa. George Clooney. He's got it. I didn't know when to buzz in. I thought I had to wait until the end of the clip.
Starting point is 00:12:40 I knew that was George Clooney. Adam, he told you the rules. Adam's right up. You're right. I didn't know the rules. Okay. All right,. Adam, he told you the rules. Yeah, right. Adam, what up? You're right. I did know the rules. Okay. All right, Adzy, one to you. Here comes bat number two.
Starting point is 00:12:51 I have a riddle for you. Clint. Clint. What bat? What bat? Whoa, whoa. George Clooney. No, Adam, free guess.
Starting point is 00:13:04 Oh, I've got to be honest, I thought it was as well. Yeah, me too. But therefore, I will go with Michael Keaton. Oh, that's a great guess, Adam, but no, it's not. It's actually Val Kilmer. Val Kilmer. Oh, the forgotten Batman. I loved Val Kilmer as Batman, I must be honest.
Starting point is 00:13:20 All right, let's move on to bat number three. Here he is. Unvengeance. Adam. right, let's move on to bat number three. Here he is. I'm vengeance. Adam. Yeah, Adam's in. What bat? Whoa, whoa. What bat is that?
Starting point is 00:13:34 Roll a penitent. He's got it. He's two in. Oh, how am I to know that? I haven't even seen a trailer yet. All right, Adam, if you get this one, it is all over in what bat is that. Here he comes. It's cryptorius.
Starting point is 00:13:46 Only cryptid I want. Adam's in. For the win. Wattbat. Whoa, whoa. It's Ben Eflin. He's got it. He's done it.
Starting point is 00:13:57 Adam, you are the ultimate Batman fan. You win. Mobile World. Yeah, sounds good. Thank you. Congratulations, man. We're very happy for you. But you know who the real winners are?
Starting point is 00:14:10 Oh. Everyone who just got to enjoy listening to that. Bree and Clint. I want to talk about the phenomenon, and it happens from time to time, where you buy a gift for your partner, but deep down you know that gift is actually for yourself because you maybe have bought them something that you hope they'll be interested in
Starting point is 00:14:30 or you've just out and out bought them something that you plan on using. Yeah, I think there's a big difference. I feel like, you know when someone, for example, if you don't understand what we're talking about, say you are a massive Justin Timberlake fan. Yep. Justin Timberlake is coming in concert. Yes. And you buy your wife Lucy tickets to the Justin Timberlake show.
Starting point is 00:14:54 And I go, you'll love it. Yeah. I do. Happy birthday. Happy birthday. Here's two tickets. I mean, obviously I'm going to go and then here's a ticket for you. To which a smart person would go, oh, my God, thank you so much. I know exactly who I'm going to take and then you hear, to which a smart person would go, oh my God, thank you so much.
Starting point is 00:15:06 I know exactly who I'm going to take. And you take someone else. Yeah. Because that way, if it truly wasn't a present for yourself, you won't be upset. Well, exactly. Won't matter. Someone on this show,
Starting point is 00:15:16 we think maybe dipping their toe in that territory somewhat. And I just thought we should just probably have it out together. I think we should just get it out in the open yeah now first of all there's a voice disguiser on so no one can
Starting point is 00:15:29 recognise who it is does the person who the gift is for know about the gift yes they do okay also is the voice disguiser
Starting point is 00:15:38 working it's on yeah it's on okay person who we won't name because they're using the voice disguiser
Starting point is 00:15:42 tell us what you bought your girlfriend Brit for a present. An overnight stay at a hut in the South Island hiking for four hours. Now, look, if there's one thing I know about the anonymous member of the team that's got his voice, I mean, their voice disguised, I know that their favourite thing in the whole world is tramping. They love it.
Starting point is 00:16:06 Yeah, they love it. They can't get enough of it. They love, love, love it. They've got all the gear and all the ideas as well. All of their spare time. Hiking. Hiking. That's it.
Starting point is 00:16:15 Their partner, never seen them hike once. I can't say, knowing their partner, that I've ever heard her talk passionately about tramping. Now, person who's remaining anonymous. Yes. How was the gift received? Very well. She's very excited.
Starting point is 00:16:30 Was she? Yes. Okay. Do you think she was just excited that you, like she thought it was a trip away? No. And then she found out she has to walk there. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:41 No, she knew. She definitely knew. She knows. Okay. Are you sure? Yeah. I showed her the views and she's like, oh, yeah, that's cool. Okay. No, she knew. She definitely knew. She knows. Okay. Are you sure? Yeah. I showed her the views and she's like, oh yeah, that's cool. Okay. Do you agree? He sold her on it. See that?
Starting point is 00:16:51 He showed her the views. Right. As in all the picturesque nature. Oh, the good bits. Yeah. He gave her the highlights and not the tough bits. He didn't tell her that she's going to have to wear the same pair of underwear for two weeks. It's an overnight. We'll be in the bush with you with no reception for just one night.
Starting point is 00:17:10 Yeah, it's just one night. Introduction. How long is it? It's only going to take us probably four hours up, four hours down. Four hours? Are you joking? Do you want me to show you the photos? No, I don't even want to look at this.
Starting point is 00:17:21 Do you agree that slightly this gift was slightly, slightly for you? Yes. Yeah. Okay, good. That's good. He's not even trying to get away with it. I'd really like to do this. I think you would also really enjoy it.
Starting point is 00:17:35 Well, if you've sold her on it and she's happy, then you've hit the jackpot, mate. Thank you. You've hit the jackpot. Well done. I think you should do the right thing and get her a separate gift. Okay. That's just for her. But this is a nice experience.
Starting point is 00:17:48 Not hiking shoes. She does need some. No, don't get her hiking shoes. Okay, our anonymous team member, thank you for your honesty. And you've done exactly what we want people to do. You've been able to admit it. That's good. This afternoon, I know $800 is in.
Starting point is 00:18:04 We would like you to admit it as well. Did you buy them a gift? But deep down, you know that that gift was actually for you. Maybe only a little bit, maybe completely. Maybe a lot. Did you benefit from the gift? You can text us on 9696 or you can call us on 0800Diles.nm. Just before we heard from an anonymous member of the team,
Starting point is 00:18:27 who we, honestly, this is an honest mistake. We believed the voice chat disguiser was on. Yes. We have had correspondence to say that it may have malfunctioned, but I don't think they'll be able to recognise her voice. No, I think it'll be fine. I think it's okay. That person bought their girlfriend a tramping experience for her birthday and his favourite activity is tramping. In the whole world, her. I haven't known her to be the biggest hiker. That could change.
Starting point is 00:18:54 That could change. But he has been able to admit that this gift was largely for himself. And she just gets to come along for the ride. And she's a bonus. Happy birthday to you. So can you admit that? Can you admit that the gift that you bought was actually for yourself? I feel like we're going to get the calls from the opposite side.
Starting point is 00:19:17 Yeah, we're getting the victims. Yeah. Let's take some of them. Let's talk to Kelly. Kelly, does this happen to you? It has, yes. My now husband, he wanted an iPad. And so he brought me one, me one, for my push present, which I didn't exactly want at the time.
Starting point is 00:19:35 No, Kelly. No, he did. So wait, after you had given birth, people who don't know what a push present is, you're meant to get... It's meant to be a luxurious gift. Yeah, like it's something for the... And it's not meant, you're meant to get... It's meant to be a luxurious gift and it's not meant to be something that you need. It's meant to be something luxurious. To spoil you.
Starting point is 00:19:50 Like jewellery or something. So he got the thing that he wanted and gave it to you. Right. Yes, he did. So he got what he wanted and I've never used it at all. I don't use it. My child does but I don't, so... Shocking, Kelly. Terrible. That's a perfect child does, but I don't, so. Shocking, Kelly.
Starting point is 00:20:06 Terrible. That's a perfect example. Melissa's here. Hi, Melissa. Hi, Melissa. Hi. Did you buy the gift, or was it bought for you? No, my boyfriend brought it for me. He got me a printer, which now sits in his
Starting point is 00:20:22 office, and he uses every single day, and I've used like twice. Melissa, can I ask? Who buys a printer for a present anyway? Can I ask, what was the special occasion that warranted printer? Which wedding anniversary is printer? No, it was my birthday and I did tell him in his defence, I told him I needed a printer.
Starting point is 00:20:42 But it was just like a passing line. That's like saying we need toilet paper. And then he goes, happy birthday. I love how logical men are sometimes. It's so good. He's like, you told me that I don't listen. There's some amazing text coming through on this. Someone said, my husband and I have been together for over 16 years
Starting point is 00:21:04 and every single gift I have received from him was actually for him. I've had scopes, rifles, a ranger side-by-side bike and a boat. All for my gifts. You know what you should do to get him back? You should get into hunting and fishing and get out there
Starting point is 00:21:19 and use all those things. Because imagine how pissed off he'd be if he found you were taking the boat out for the weekend. If you were taking your boat out fishing for the weekend imagine how pissed off he'd be if he found you were taking the boat out for the weekend. If you were taking your boat out fishing for the weekend with your friends, he'd be devastated, but he wouldn't have a leg to stand on. It doesn't give you power. You can be like, that's my boat. And finally, Natalie, what happened with you?
Starting point is 00:21:38 I got caught really bad because when Nintendo Wii's were a thing, I really badly wanted one. And so I bought one for my husband for Christmas, but he bought me one too. So we had two. No! And you're the only one who wanted a Nintendo Wii,
Starting point is 00:21:53 so you effectively had two Nintendo Wii's. We totally did. And then our friends fought over buying the second one, like there was none left on the shelf. Two Wii's. Two Wii's never make a right. That's what I say, Natalie. Lockdown's been extended, so it's a good day to do this.
Starting point is 00:22:11 It is. It's a good chance to boost the mood of the nation and remember we're all good. It's okay. We're going to get through this. It's just a little bit longer, you know. And it means it's an even better day to kick off Country Music Monday. We're playing a morale boosting country music song
Starting point is 00:22:27 and Kelly, you're going to be our impartial judge today, okay? Yes. Now Kelly, I need to know, are you a big country music fan like myself? Oh, like the biggest ever. Yes. Such a big fan. Kelly's the person to have.
Starting point is 00:22:40 Such a big fan, you have no idea. Okay, well here are the best suggestions that we've got from ZDM listeners For today's morale boosting request Some obvious ones in there Like Miley's dad Just iconic It's basic, yeah
Starting point is 00:22:58 It's basic, but yeah, is that what you said? Yeah, it's basic It's classic, okay, yeah, sure Shania Twain came through. Isn't she the best of the best, Kelly? I love Shania, but I don't know if she's very country. This song is country. Man, I feel like a woman's not country, but...
Starting point is 00:23:23 It's true, yeah. Is this country? This is what a country music DJ would play It is But it's more like Kiki and DJ You're right It's not the essence of the country song That we're looking for
Starting point is 00:23:38 It doesn't put you on a farm in Tennessee When you listen to it Okay this will Sam Hunt Body Like a Back Ride On a farm in Tennessee when you listen to it. Okay, this will. Sam Hunt, Body Like a Back Road. Yeah. That's a great song. That's got to be it.
Starting point is 00:23:55 We sort of debated what Taylor Swift song to put in there, and this one came out on top. What do you think of that, Kelly? I love Taylor, but at the moment it's definitely Sam Hunt. Okay. And the last suggestion was Anything by Rascal Flatts. Oh, yeah. I wore it all night long One of my favourites.
Starting point is 00:24:23 Rascal Flatts is a good one, yeah. Okay. What's your vote for first, Kelly? Which of those songs? Shania Twain, Miley Cyrus. Miley Cyrus? No, not Miley Cyrus. Billy Ray Cyrus.
Starting point is 00:24:33 Billy Ray Cyrus, yeah. Taylor Swift. We're going to get rid of Cod and I, Jo. Yeah, get rid of that. Sam Hunt and Rascal Flatts. What are you voting for? It's got to be Sam Hunt for me. It's got to be Sam Hunt. I. It's got to be Sam Hunt.
Starting point is 00:24:45 I'm voting for Sam Hunt as well, actually. Yeah, it definitely puts you in the mood. Yeah, right? Yeah. Achy, breaky hearts in there. Yeah. Yeah, but, yeah, it's a close second. We need to be lifted up.
Starting point is 00:25:00 Yeah. We need to raise the... Well, I could be swayed. I feel like a bank road is going to make everybody just chill out and relax a bit. Oh, at least she's got a different theory to you. You know, I just need to let off some steam. And then...
Starting point is 00:25:19 Woo! I wouldn't be mad about either of those, to be honest, Brie. You're all good. If you want achy your break your heart, I'm not mad. Kelly, you're my favourite. You've made my Monday. I appreciate all your knowledge and your input. Here you go, New Zealand. Your morale-boosting request is Billy Ray Cyrus.
Starting point is 00:25:37 Yeehaw! Oh, you can tell your friends just what a fool I've been And laugh and joke about me on the phone You can tell my aunts to go back into the barn You can tell my feet to hit the floor Oh, you can tell my lips to tell my fingertips They won't be reaching out for you no more Don't tell my heart, my achy, breaky heart
Starting point is 00:26:06 I just don't think he'd understand And if you tell my heart, my achy, breaky heart He might blow up and kill his man You can tell your mom I moved to Arkansas You can tell your dog to bite my leg Or tell your brother Cliff His fist can tell my lip He never really liked me anyway Oh, tell your Aunt Louise, tell anything you please
Starting point is 00:26:52 My self already knows I'm not okay Oh, you can tell my eyes to watch out for my mind It might be walking out on me today Don't tell my heart, my achy, breaky heart I just don't think it understands And if you tell my heart, my achy, breaky heart He might blow up and kill his man Don't tell my heart, my achy, breaky heart I just don't think he'd understand
Starting point is 00:27:41 And if you tell my heart, my achy, breaky heart, he might blow up and kill his man. Don't tell my heart, my achy, breaky heart, He might blow up and kill this man. ZM, Brian Clint. That's your morale-boosting song for today from Billy Ray Cyrus, Achy, Breaky Heart. No regrets over here. The first ever Country Music Monday on ZM. And don't think this will be the only one. It will continue long into the future or until Ross Boss is working from home. I'm telling you.
Starting point is 00:28:38 You should play for a whole hour next Monday. Next on the show, we're going to do cliffhangers. You just move on and avoid it. Brie and Clint. Did you hear the good news, Brie? What? There's an asteroid headed for Earth. Theme song to Armageddon.
Starting point is 00:29:00 Obviously the movie with Bruce Willis where an asteroid is headed to Earth. And unfortunately that's a movie where we sent Bruce Willis to detonate a nuke on the asteroid. As far as I know, not an actual viable plan for this asteroid, which NASA says has a small chance of colliding with Earth on the eve of the US presidential election. Isn't that the most 2020 headline you've ever heard? Yeah. So when they say small, what are we talking? 0.4%. Okay.
Starting point is 00:29:26 Which I feel like is a pretty big chance. Like if you told me I had a 0.4% chance of winning Lotto, I would be buying so many tickets. Yeah, but that's you. You think anything is a slight chance. I don't understand how odds work, but to me that sounds like just under 1 in 200. What? 0.4%.
Starting point is 00:29:48 If a 1% chance, again I don't know how stats work, but if a 1% chance means you have a 1 in 100 chance of winning, and 0.4, so 0.5 ish, is half of 1%, then surely that doubles it.
Starting point is 00:30:04 See, I don't know how stats work. What? Because there's 200 0.5s in 100. So do you have a 200 in... Anyway, do you want to know about this asteroid or not? Yeah, let's move on. The asteroid has a name. What's its name?
Starting point is 00:30:22 2018 VP1. It's not very catchy. I feel like they should have called it Gareth or something. Yeah, what was its parents thinking? Or Donald the Destroyer or something like that. It's only 6.5 feet in diameter. Wait, what feet? Feet, yeah. How many metres
Starting point is 00:30:37 is that? Oh, I don't know. I don't deal in metres. 6.5 feet. What do you mean? Hey Siri. What is it? 6.5 feet. Hey, Siri. What is it? 600? No, 6.5 feet. 6 feet 5 inches. Hey, Siri.
Starting point is 00:30:51 How many metres is 6.5 feet? 6.5 feet is 1.98 metres. That's tiny. Yeah. So hence why Bruce Willis can't land on it with a nuke. And like they said, it's probably going to miss the Earth. But yeah, anyway. Where did that – oh, here's a question.
Starting point is 00:31:09 I don't know if you've got the answer. Where did they say it will most likely hit? I haven't narrowed down that information yet, and I'm not sure if they have either. Right. Well, if they haven't, then I'm going to say you definitely haven't. But I'm just saying it's the perfect end to the perfect year, an asteroid coming, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:31:25 All that's left now is for dinosaurs to come back, the ocean to catch fire, and for Logan Paul to move to New Zealand. Oh, God, no. And become leader of the National Party. No. That's about all we've got left. Bree and Clint.
Starting point is 00:31:42 Oh, my God. What? No way. I can't believe that happened. Oh, my God, no. Are you f***ing kidding me? Bree and Clint. Oh, my God. What? No way. I can't believe that happened. Oh, my God, no. Are you f***ing kidding me? Bree and Clint's Cliffhanger. Oh, it's been a journey to get here today. It has.
Starting point is 00:31:54 But we've made it. Pretty much you guys have the opportunity to tell one of your ripping stories that's happened to you on the air, three quarters of it at least, and then three alternative endings. It's everyone else's job listening to pick which is the real one. Hi, Diva. Hi, Diva.
Starting point is 00:32:10 Hi, guys. Thank you. Have I got a story for you? All right, go for it. We're ready. I'm excited. I've been married for 13 years now, but many moons ago on that special night, we were newlyweds and doing some indoor gardening,
Starting point is 00:32:28 I believe you call it. Yes, yes, we know what you're talking about. And we were looking to spice things up. And so I reached over to the bedside table and dun, dun, dun. Dun, dun, dun. What happened next? Producer Ben has the three possible endings one of them is true
Starting point is 00:32:47 the other two were written by Bree and me okay ending number one and grabbed the anti-flam instead
Starting point is 00:32:54 let's just say a wedding night I'll never forget no spice things up is that like DP'd yeah
Starting point is 00:33:00 ending number two and there was a snake. The snake bit me hard. Nine months later, our son was born. Oh, I like that one too. A snake? In a room? Who knows?
Starting point is 00:33:16 And ending number three, I was bitten by a redback spider. My wedding night ended in the emergency room. Two very similar ones. One of those. They all involve a sting though, don't they? Nice. Very good. Very good.
Starting point is 00:33:32 One of those is the correct ending. Did Diva on her wedding night during the indoor gardening suffer anti-flam, a snake bite or a spider bite? Cam. The snake's his penis. Well done. Welcome to the story. Emma! Hi. Hi. What's
Starting point is 00:33:50 the correct ending to Diva's Cliffhanger? I was going to say number three, but now I'm like number two, but number three. I'm just going to number three. Do what I do on The Chase. And when I say that, like when I'm watching The Chase. I was going to say, when were you on The Chase? Trust your gut.
Starting point is 00:34:05 Go with your first answer. Yeah, trust your gut. So you're locking in which ending? I'm locking in number three, the spider. Ending number three, I was bitten by a redback spider. My wedding night ended in the emergency room. Diva, the correct ending to your cliffhanger is? Ending number one.
Starting point is 00:34:23 The deep heat. The anti-flames. Sorry, Emma, no mobile fuel for you, but Diva, hot damn. Whoa. Woo-hoo. Diva. They don't call it deep heat for nothing. Jeez.
Starting point is 00:34:35 That's not fun. Who realised first, Diva? We tried to shower it off at the same time. So, yeah, that made it worse. But we realised together. You were trying to obviously get off at the same time. So, yeah, that made it worse. But we realized together. You were trying to obviously get rid of the burning sensation but also keep the moment going by showering. I think the moment was long gone.
Starting point is 00:34:55 It was indeed. Yeah, I bet. Congratulations. You've just won yourself some free mobile fuel. What I can say is one of the best cliffhangers we've had. Those poor new words. You poor things. Imagine they would have been like,
Starting point is 00:35:09 is this normal? What's going on? Oh, you think it might have been their first time. If it was, I don't know. Kia ora, this is Toby Manhai. I'm the host of Gone By Lunchtime, a podcast for the
Starting point is 00:35:20 spin-off podcast network all about politics and politicians with me, Annabel Lee--Mather, and Ben Thomas, careering wildly from the very serious to the very ridiculous. It's not for everyone. I don't think it would be Ellen's cup of tea, but you, I reckon, will love it.
Starting point is 00:35:34 Go on by lunchtime. Grab one now wherever you get your podcasts. Bree and Clint. Zed and Bree and Clint. Thank you for all the slipper support we've received during that Jason Derulo song. We've all decided it's not too late. No, it's never too late.
Starting point is 00:35:49 And we will be getting new slippers. So thank you very much. Yeah, I'm going to get the real fluffy ones that look ridiculous. We just both, we fell into a hole and Bree almost bought slippers off a fake website and I almost bought a pair of infant slippers. I was like, it says medium, but I'm sure that will be okay. That all happened within one song.
Starting point is 00:36:09 Hey, strap in because this story is about to blow your mind. So there's a famous couple over in the UK. Their names are Barry and Tony Druitt Barlow. Oh, yeah. Have you heard of them? I think the Barlow family are quite famous. Right. So these guys became famous back in the late 90s
Starting point is 00:36:30 after they became the first gay men in the UK to father twins born through surrogacy. Oh, okay. Yeah. So they became quite famous for that. They were also multi, multi millionaires. Yes. Anyway, Barry unfortunately has split from Tony.
Starting point is 00:36:49 They're still living together because they're raising their kids. Yes. But they have split. They've called quits on the relationship. Still very good friends. Yes. But they've decided that they're going to split. The thing is, is that Barry is now in a new relationship with his daughter's ex-boyfriend. If that makes sense.
Starting point is 00:37:14 Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. If you can wrap your head around that. He's dating his daughter's ex. Yeah, so he's got a daughter named Saffron. Yes. She was dating a guy named Scott and they dated for a few months before Barry and Scott then announced that they had fallen in love and they were getting married. You don't break up with your girlfriend and hook up with her dad.
Starting point is 00:37:39 Oh, man. Yeah. I wonder how the daughter feels about it. I don't imagine she's stoked about it. Yeah. I wonder how the daughter feels about it. I don't imagine she's stoked about it. Yeah. I mean, pretty wild. I just hope Dad didn't break up the relationship. Yeah, right.
Starting point is 00:37:54 Maybe they broke up on their own. And then he just magically fell in love. He just had his number for whatever reason. He was like, hey, let's catch up. He needed support. No, all joking aside, that's off. Yeah, that's a bit. If your friend's exes are out of bounds,
Starting point is 00:38:10 then your kid's exes are also out of bounds. Absolutely they are. That should go without saying. If your brother's exes are out of bounds, your exes are out of bounds. No, what? No, your kid's exes are out of bounds. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:24 Yeah. Just getting confusing. No, what? Your kids' exes are out of bounds. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's getting confusing. So he dated his daughter's ex-boyfriend. Yeah. Right. And apparently they're now having a baby together. Are they?
Starting point is 00:38:38 Yeah. Oh, well, congratulations, I guess. Apparently. If they're happy. Yeah, I mean, if it works, it works. They're all going to live together, him, the ex, and the new boyfriend all in the same house. Oh, that is a shocking idea. No, that's a reality TV show.
Starting point is 00:38:50 Oh, it's that as well, actually, yeah. But, I mean, I think it's just like you said, parents shouldn't date your exes. No, what? The kids. Yeah. Like, you should feel comfortable knowing. Oh, my God, there are so many blurred lines here. It's hard to understand what you're kids. Yeah. Like you should feel comfortable knowing. Oh, my God. There are so many blurred lines here.
Starting point is 00:39:05 It's hard to understand what you're saying. So that would be like my dad dating. Your current partner. No, not current. My ex. Oh, yeah. Terrible. It's not good.
Starting point is 00:39:24 Not a good idea But in saying that I would like to hear from people If this has happened to them When you pitched this idea up I was like No one's going to call We've had someone from within
Starting point is 00:39:35 The wider ZDM team go That happened with my uncle Yeah Already Straight away they said That happened with my uncle The uncle dated His son's ex-girlfriend his son's ex-girlfriend.
Starting point is 00:39:45 His son's ex-girlfriend. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So it has happened. Make the question really clear. Okay. 0800 dial ZM.
Starting point is 00:39:53 Has your parent dated your ex? Mm-hmm. If you can wrap your head around that. No, that's nice and clear. No, they probably have is what I'm saying. You can text us on 9696 or call us 0800 dials at M. Brian Clint. The UK man is making headlines yesterday after he announced that he was engaged
Starting point is 00:40:16 with his daughter's ex-boyfriend. If you can wrap your head around that. We've just been on his Instagram in the break. Seems like him and the daughter are fine. I think. Either that or he's posting some throwbacks. Yeah, right. So the daughter and the boyfriend apparently,
Starting point is 00:40:33 according to this article, dated for a couple of months. I'm not sure if they split up because he fell in love. Because dad was keen. With the dad or if they split up and then the dad and the boyfriend fell in love. I don't know. But to put it, you know, bluntly, the parent is dating the child's ex-boyfriend. Exactly right.
Starting point is 00:40:53 Yeah. So we've asked, did your parent date your ex? Did mum or dad hook up with your ex? Or it could have been your current. Or you could have dated your parent' ex. Let's not confuse it. Yeah, right, right. We've got some. This person wants to remain anonymous. Hello, anonymous. Hi.
Starting point is 00:41:12 Hello. Has this happened in your family, anonymous? Yes. My sister was engaged to be married, broke off, I think, two months before they were actually going to get married. And the day after that she broke it off, we found out that our mum had slept with him whilst they were on a break before they got engaged. to get married. And the day after that, she broke it off. We found out that our mum had slept with him whilst they were on a break before they got engaged.
Starting point is 00:41:29 Wait, wait. This was before they got engaged? Yeah, so they had a break for a couple of weeks to go back together a few months later, he proposed. And it wasn't until the day after that she called it off that one of his friend's girlfriends had spilled the beans to my sister and admitted what had happened.
Starting point is 00:41:48 No. I mean, stupid question, but what's the deal with you guys and mum now? We haven't spoken in a couple of years, and that was kind of the final nail in the coffin because, yeah. That's horrible, Anonymous. Whoa. And as we've learnt from the TV show Friends, there's no such thing as a break.
Starting point is 00:42:08 No. There's no such thing as a break when it's your daughter's boyfriend. Ever. Ever, period. Ever, ever. Full stop. Unless there is, which is what we're looking for this afternoon. Oh, that's sad.
Starting point is 00:42:18 There are some wild texts coming in on us. There are some really crazy texts. Someone texted through and they said, my friend found out that his father had been going behind his back with his girlfriend for years. Apparently she's still with the father now and none of them talk. I just don't understand how it could be worth it to risk the relationship with your kid. How could you do that to risk the relationship with your kid.
Starting point is 00:42:47 How could you do that to your kid? They must be hot. That hot? They'd have to be very hot. Hi, Lucy. Hi, Lucy. Hey. Has this happened to you?
Starting point is 00:43:04 I have a similar sort of situation, but even probably a bit more juicy. Go on then. I have a similar sort of situation, but even probably a bit more juicy. Okay. So my dad had a wife who she had children from a previous marriage. My dad had a child with this wife. Okay. They split up like a few years later. And then my dad started dating the wife's oldest daughter. So at this time, his stepdaughter, yeah, my brother's
Starting point is 00:43:28 sister was also his stepmom at the same time. Wait, wait, wait, wait. Your brother's sister? Because she was dating his dad. Oh, because they had the child together. And then he was dating the other kid that he
Starting point is 00:43:44 obviously didn't father. What was the relationship to you again, Lucy? This wasn't your dad? No, it was my dad. But you're on the other side of the family. I'm in a completely different mother. It's really messy. What does your mum
Starting point is 00:44:00 think of all of this? Well, she had split up with him years before this happened and she's kind of just like, you do you. I know what she's thinking. You do you, Lucy. We're going to broadcast publicly other than on the radio.
Starting point is 00:44:18 Yeah, I was going to say, you know we're broadcasting it publicly, eh? I bet your mum's thinking, jeez, dodged a bullet. Yeah, no, definitely. Oh, well mum's thinking, jeez, dodged a bullet. Yeah, no, definitely. Oh, well, that's wild, Lucy. Thanks for sharing. You win the conversation. She definitely wins, yeah.

Starting point is 00:51:02 I saw there's a gig Coming to Auckland soon, which is Biggie versus Tupac. What do you mean? So it's an orchestra playing the best Tupac songs and it's like an onstage battle versus the best Biggie songs. I imagine they get local rappers up because so much of it's about lyrics.
Starting point is 00:51:21 Get local rappers up to do the... That'd be cool. And then it's all recreated with an orchestra. And then it's a battle and someone's got to win. Yeah. That sounds like a cool show. It does sound like a cool show. God, I hope this lockdown ends before then.
Starting point is 00:51:37 You know, I was complaining about this lockdown to... Who was I complaining to? Everyone. Mostly you. And my friend who lives in Hamilton texts me and he goes, bro, are you all good with the extended lockdown? And I was like, yeah, I'm all right. Just feeling sorry for myself. And he goes, you guys will be okay.
Starting point is 00:51:54 Our friend Paul, who lives in Melbourne, has been working from home since March. Yeah, it puts it into perspective, doesn't it? And people are dying. So yeah, it puts it into perspective, doesn't it? And people are dying. So, yeah, it puts it into perspective, absolutely. Your immediate situation is what you deal with. And if you're feeling frustrated or anxious or depressed, you should definitely do something.
Starting point is 00:52:13 And it doesn't minimise how you're feeling. Yeah. But, I mean, we're all good. We'll be okay. We've just got an extra few days of Level 3. Exactly. So just look at the bigger picture. And I feel pretty good about it.
Starting point is 00:52:25 Just the rest of the country, if you guys could just tone down the fun on your Instagram story. Yeah, just block. We're very jealous. Just block for the moment everyone that lives in the South Island. Only because you guys are doing so well. Exactly. You guys are having the fun.
Starting point is 00:52:39 And because you're crushing it. New Zealander of the Year 2020. Who's it going to be? The annual awards run by Kiwi Bank I think the nominees are out The obvious ones Nominees Nominees
Starting point is 00:53:00 I was going to say nominations The nominees are out Yep Kiwi Bank New Zealander of the Year 2020. The obvious ones are Jacinda Ardern is in the running for her response to not only Christchurch, but the pandemic as well. And Daddy Bloomfield, I bet.
Starting point is 00:53:15 Daddy Bloomfield is definitely a nominee as well for his just all-round sexiness. He's in there. Also nominated for New Zealander of the Year is Mittens the Cat. A Turkish Angora with his own Facebook page. The wondrous adventures of Mittens
Starting point is 00:53:32 with over 52,000 Facebook followers. This is true, by the way. I saw this on a UK site. Mittens the Cat has been given the key to the city
Starting point is 00:53:42 in Wellington by Wellington Mayor Andy Foster. And at the moment is the leading contender to become Kiwi Bank New Zealander of the Year. I heard that Mittens' campaign slogan was, where's Smitten for Mittens? That's, you know what? And a good slogan is 90% of it.
Starting point is 00:54:03 It's pretty much all of it. Obama, hope. Jacinda, we got this. Mittens, the cat. I lick my butt and I sleep 90% of the day. Vote for me. It's catchy. It's catchy.
Starting point is 00:54:14 That was the backup slogan. Correct me if I'm wrong, but he's a stray cat, right, that hangs out with everyone. I haven't done my research into Mittens, the cat. Let's move on. I've been too busy trying to formulate other nominees that potentially have been missed from this year's. That's what I've done.
Starting point is 00:54:31 Right, okay. Well, let's check them out there. Okay. Hasn't been awarded yet. Perhaps there's some New Zealanders that should be on the list that haven't been nominated. Maybe they haven't thought about it. Not to take anything away from Blooms, Cindy and Mittens the Cat.
Starting point is 00:54:43 We'd love to hear your suggestions too. Yeah, yeah. On 9696, who should be nominated? Like should New Zealander of the Year this year be all courier drivers? Oh, that's good. You know? Yeah. For the work they've done in lockdown bringing us food and shopping.
Starting point is 00:54:58 I like that. New Zealander of the Year, I think the Neckman guy should be nominated. What's he done this year? Well, what hasn't he done for this country? I can't answer that, so. Oh, what? No, push it on. Yeah, he should be nominated.
Starting point is 00:55:13 He would be New Zealander of the Year in like 20. Look, no. Hey. No nomination's a bad nomination, and that's why I'm nominating Banana Bread as New Zealander of the Year. Who hasn't made a Banana Bread this year? Well, it's true. You know, the situation we've been in,
Starting point is 00:55:27 banana bread should be running for Prime Minister. Yeah, I love banana bread. I think the big L&P bottle. For New Zealander of the Year. Yep. Because, you know, being neglected this year, but still doing its job. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:55:39 Still, you know. I don't want to be the guy who asks this question every time. What? What's it done this year? Like. Why are you attacking all of my suggestions? I don't mean to. I don't mean to. I'm just asks this question every time. What? What's it done this year? Why are you attacking all of my suggestions? I don't mean to. I don't mean to. I'm just trying to get through it.
Starting point is 00:55:49 Concentrate on your own. Okay. I've only got one more nominee for New Zealander of the Year, but it's a group nomination. I'd like to nominate Ronald, Wendy, the King, and the Colonel for New Zealander of the Year. All takeaways. That's good.
Starting point is 00:56:06 All four of them. I call them the holy quadruplets. The holy quad. The holy quad. The holy square. The holy quad. Yeah, holy quad. The last one I'm nominating is the Koru Lounge.
Starting point is 00:56:20 Yeah, right. Also hasn't done much this year, but, you know, we've just got to lift people up in this time. Yeah, right. Also hasn't done much this year, but, you know, we've just got to lift people up in this time. It's probably been the quietest year for the Kuru Lounge in history, to be honest. So, yeah, it needs some... Needs some love, just some reassurance. Anything to take down Mittens the cat.
Starting point is 00:56:40 That cat's too powerful. We're just doing some research into potential New Zealander of the Year, Mittens the cat. Shout out to Mittens if you're listening. Shout out Mittens from Wellington. The Facebook group is intense. There are more rules to join. Oh, sorry.
Starting point is 00:56:59 There's more rules to join this group than there are rules for level three. Wait, how many people follow Mittens? 57.7 thousand. It's a private Facebook group. That's insane! Very popular. I can see why he's nominated. If the TAB are taking odds, Mittens is paying $1 at the moment.
Starting point is 00:57:18 I'm backing Mittens the cat. One of the rules for joining the Mittens Facebook group is no Mittens merch. No posting any ideas you have for merch. Mittens belongs to Silvio and all rights of Mittens belongs to him. No telling Mittens to go home. This group is intense.
Starting point is 00:57:39 I recommend that you go and have a look at it. It's something weird. Anyway, moving swiftly along. I wanted to talk about this guy who I think is possibly the number one husband in the whole world. Right. He's pretty special. Okay. And there's mainly one story surrounding this guy
Starting point is 00:57:58 as to why I think he probably is the number one husband. Okay. He's married to a lady named Chantel. His name is Mark. And this story's pretty intense. I'm not going to sugarcoat it. They were swimming at Shelley Beach when Chantel, Mark's wife, got bitten by a shark.
Starting point is 00:58:17 Take a listen. Good evening. A surfer has shown bravery beyond belief, taking on a great white shark to save his wife's life. It did take a bit of effort to get that shark off her. It'd be his natural reaction to get in there and do what he can. Witnesses say protective husband Mark Rapley grabbed the shark's back, punching it until it let her go.
Starting point is 00:58:41 He punched a shark for his wife. He wrestled with a great white shark and saved his wife's life. Far out. Like, what are you getting your wife for Christmas this year? I don't know, but that guy never has to take the rubbish out ever again. My God. That's, like, can you imagine in that moment, like, how brave you would have to be?
Starting point is 00:59:05 It's absolutely incredible. He obviously, you know, threw his own life into being like, I don't care what happens here, I need to save her. Yeah. He's in the good books for life. Absolutely. Like, if he goes out on a bender and forgets to text Sylvia or whatever her name was.
Starting point is 00:59:20 It'll be fine. It'll be fine. I think it'll be fine. She'll be like, how come you didn't text me last night? And he'll go, remember that time I saved you from a shark? Great white. She's like, fair enough. Yeah, no, you've got me there, Dave.
Starting point is 00:59:32 Mark. Incredible. The shark man. People are amazing, eh? Brie and Clint. I said before, anyone looking for a husband, I've got some fantastic advice for you straight out of the 1950s. And this is particularly for you, Bree. I'm not looking for a husband.
