There is a big moment in the show. Yeah, you'll figure it out. It's like three quarters of the way in. We're on day three of five of this road trip and I'm sick of eating out.

Me too. I want a nice home-cooked meal. Not saying that I haven't enjoyed eating out. No, I've loved it. But, you know, when it gets too much. Yeah. Because it's all good stuff. That's the problem.

You're never just having a piece of toast. Or a bowl of pasta. You're having the bacon, the eggs, the toast. And the sides, the fries. The mushrooms, everything. Anyway, that's a first world problem. Everything else is great. We went jet boating today

Someone texted through and they said, guys, my eight year old is far too invested in what underwear people are wearing that's your tease maybe maybe your six-year-old has the gift as well maybe eight-year-old yeah eight-year-old some people are just born with it yeah maybe she's born with it um uh right we're in the middle of a storm here in wonaka i'm just giving you trying to paint a picture of where we're at we're're in the middle of a storm here in Wanaka. I'm just giving you, trying to paint a picture of where we're at. We're sitting in the observation deck of a yacht club overlooking a lake where they have races.

It's all very nautical. There's flags and air horns and binoculars and the smell of semen. Yeah. It's quite salty, actually. Even though it's a lake, it's still salty up here. Yeah, it's still salty. Don't know. There's a lake, still salty up here. Yeah, still salty. Don't know. There's a picture of Team New Zealand,

the winning Team New Zealand boat from the year 2000, signed by the great Sir Peter Blake, the late great Sir Peter Blake. We're surrounded by history, mana. There's a lot of pride in this room, and I feel it. I feel it deep in my lungs. I'm a bit tired, actually.

Yeah, should we just knock off and head home? Yeah, I think we should go home Yeah, right Okay, shout out to Wanaka Shout out to everybody here who has looked after us so far And we'll see you guys when we're live from Tikapur tomorrow Bye guys Hey Google, what's the time?

Sorry, I've just got to make an announcement here, Clint. Yeah. Oh, I feel it in me waters. We're about to have a rough ride. What is the accent? I don't know. I think it's a mix of things. It might be a bit insensitive.

We're on ZM's ultimate summer roadie, and today we're in Wanaka. We've been jetboating today in the Go Jets Wanaka Jetboat up and down the Klutha River. Fun fact, it's New Zealand's second longest river. There you go. Fun fact. But it's New Zealand's most voluminous river.

Thank you. I appreciate hearing those facts for the second time today. It feeds directly to New Zealand's fourth largest lake, Lake Wanaka. I want to talk about the experience of the jet ride, the jet boat. That's literally what I thought I was doing. No, our experience. These are facts about the river. Oh, right, right.

Yeah, how did you go? Largely good. 75% of the time, had the best time of my life. 25% of the time, horrifically seasick and couldn't wait to get back to land. Did you actually chunder? No. Because you walked away for a bit and I was like, oh, that's classic. Like, I'm going to go chunder by myself.

I can't tell if seasickness is like a hangover and you feel better after a chunder. Do you? I don't know if you do. I don't think so. I don't think so. I don't think it goes away. Amazing jet boat experience.

I just wish I'd taken some sea legs first. Yeah, that would have been a good idea. Just a reminder that if I ever win Lotto, I don't need to buy a boat. You know? Yeah. I'm not a boat person. You, however. Oh, I live for the water. There boat. You know? Yeah. I'm not a boat person. You, however.

Oh, I live for the water. There's a boat in your future. I just feel at home, you know, not scared, just ready to tackle the seas. Okay, that's not what happens. Today on the show, we've got a $500 Nando's voucher

to give away with the Great Pretender competition. We're going to do that just after four o'clock if you stay listening. Also, special guest joining us on the show later on. I don't want to say too much, but they're A-list. Okay? A-list?

A-list. We have an A-list celebrity joining us on the show later today. Wait, do I know about this? No, you've got no idea. I don't know about it. No, you don't know about it. Oh, I'm excited. But they're here for you.

Does their name start with A? Is that why they're A-list? No. They're got no idea. I don't know about it. No, you don't know about it. Oh, I'm excited. But they're here for you. Does their name start with A? Is that why they're A-list? No. They're an actual A-list? They're an actual A-list, yeah. If there was a list, they would be on the A. I'm keen then. I'm very keen. So next though, we want to fire up the gaming rivalry. Yeah, look, this is a real stat

that's come out. It said that PlayStation gamers are smarter than Xbox gamers. Wait, which way are we around? Play PlayStation gamers are smarter than Xbox gamers. Wait, which way are we? PlayStation are smarter than Xboxes? Yes, but I want to put that to the test on our show today. Yeah. So 0800DIALZM.

We need some PlayStation gamers. Yeah. And some Xbox gamers. Okay. And they're going to go head-to-head this afternoon. You Nintendo Wii users, stay in the sports resort. Okay? We got this one.

We'll deal with this one. PlayStation, Xbox, we need both of them. Call now, 0800-DIAL-ZM. Bree and Clint. We are live on ZM's Ultimate Summer Roadie, thanks to Juicy, and we're broadcasting from the Wanaka Yacht Club. Clint, this is sure to rile a few gamers up this afternoon

because a new study has claimed that people who game on a PlayStation are smarter than people who game on an Xbox. Damn. Damn. Look, these are big shots fired, isn't it? Yeah. But apparently the study tested over 1,000 gamers and they gave them all a test

to assess their cognitive skills. And the PlayStation gamers came out on top. Can I just say, I think of all gamers as smart people. I don't know why, and that might be a stereotype, but I think of all gamers as being quite intelligent. I appreciate that. Thank you, mate. Sorry, I didn't say Nintendo gamers.

I'm a gamer. Nintendo Switch counts. I thought we could put this to the test this afternoon. In a game of PlayStation versus Xbox. Okay, let's do it. So we've got two people on the phone. Lewis, you are an Xbox gamer, correct? That is true, yes.

Excellent, Lewis. And you will be taking on John, who is a PlayStation gamer. Hello, John. Hello. John, you're smart, Cookie. Welcome to the show. Kia ora. Oh, that's a lot of pressure.

Let's see who actually takes it out this afternoon. The way this is going to work, lads, is I've got a series of five questions. It's going to be best of five to finally put to rest who is smarter, PlayStation or Xbox gamers. You can buzz in with your name when you think you know the answer, okay? Okay. All right. Question number one.

What is 12 times 12? Lewis. Lewis is in. Xbox. That's 144. That's correct. One to the Xboxes. Come on, John. That's 144. That's correct. One to the Xboxes. Come on, John.

That was an easy one, man. You should have known that one. Question number two. I did not. I did not. How many continents are there? Lewis. Lewis is in again for Xbox.

Seven. That is correct. Africa, Antarctica, Asia, Australia, Europe, North America and South America to make up the seven. That's two to Xbox. Dan, we're already at match point. All right, come on, John. You need this point to stay in it.

There's a bit of lag on the PlayStation. Yeah, number three, question number three. What symbol represents gold on the periodic table? Lewis. Lewis. Lewis for the win. AU. The Xboxes have taken it out.

That's it. It's all over. It's an absolute downtry. AU is correct, representing gold. Well, Lewis, first of all, congratulations on representing the Xbox people so well. You've done a great job. Yeah, I thought I'd proved that survey wrong that you guys did. Yeah, mate, you've blown it out of the water.

And John, what do you have to say to your fellow PlayStation gamers who are living on a high? The PS5s just come out. They thought things were going good for them for Christmas, and then you've come in and lost this 3-0. I know. All I have to say is GG's. GG's.

GG's. GG's? I thought he was going to say, like, good game. I know. All I have to say is GGs. GGs. GGs. GGs? I thought he was going to say, like... Good game? Good game? Good game. That's a gaming term. Sorry. I should have told Clint earlier.

Yeah, Bree knew that one because she's a gamer. Us gamers, yeah. I'm a gamer. Appreciate that, lads. Thank you for, yeah, putting that to the test this afternoon. Well done, Xbox. Bree and Clint. We're live from the Wanaka Yacht Club.

We've never been in a yacht club, have we? No. Man, we're becoming a fancy show, eh? We fit in here. That's why we wore our boat shoes. My boat is a skateboard. Same. We're on ZM's ultimate summer road trip.

On Wednesdays, we play a game called Google Down. It's basically a quest to find New Zealand's greatest Googler each week. That's correct. Who is the fastest? Coincidentally, Google has gone down. Not today. Kind of. Well, yesterday.

Because this has happened before on this segment. That's where the segment was born, wasn't it? Yeah, it was. Kind of. I may have stretched it a little bit. Yesterday, Amazon went down. Part of Amazon. A thing called AWS, Amazon Web Services.

Don't know what that is. It's the thing that controls all of Amazon's robots. And what that meant yesterday was if you had a Roomba, you couldn't vacuum your house. What? If you had a smart doorbell, you couldn't use your doorbell. If you had Alexa-controlled lights inside your house... It didn't work.

You couldn't work your lights. And it's a terrifying glimpse into what the future of robot slaves is going to look like. Because in my house, I'm giving them control of everything. I'm like, you guys run the TV, you run the heat pump, you run... I want to get to a point where they run the Nespresso machine. You can do a sneeze and everything turns on. Basically, yeah. I want to think about a point where they run the nespresso machine you can do like a sneeze and everything turns on basically yeah i want to think about having a beer and the fridge

is like bringing you a beer and it comes in and we'll get we'll get there we'll get eventually but the great risk is that when these servers go down like you can't even take it over again because a room but if you don't know what it is that's that little round vacuuming robot. It's not like you can power it by hand when it goes down. Wait, are they powered by... Yeah, they run through Amazon servers. No way. I don't trust them. Well, yeah. They're the thing that dragged my auntie's

dog poo all through her house when I was house sitting. Oh, the Roomba? Yeah. The Roomba did that, not me. Every server's in the house. You're meant to be a smart vacuum. What are you doing? Didn't you pick up that you knew that you had poo on you? That's dog poo, you stupid vacuum.

This is what makes me really nervous for driverless cars. Right? Because if something happens, boom, there'll be a million crashes all over the planet. Johnny, our mate who's here filming our trip with us, he's got a drone. And that thing connects to something and that something. He says, bro, this is uncrashable.

I'm like, what if Google goes down? Exactly. What if Google goes down? It can happen. And then you drone. Well, it's just a drone, I guess. But still, you don't know. Have you seen that video of that drone where it loses service

and then it starts to fall out of the sky and it's still, the camera's still going and you can see these guys running like to catch it. And it's just falling from the air slowly and then it's starting to fall down into the water so they're like wading through this water and they

literally grab it. Catch it just before the moment. Just before, yeah. If only the Roomba had done that with the dog poo. Anyway, Google Down is happening today after four o'clock. Your chance to become New Zealand's greatest Googler. Bree and Clint from iHeartRadio. This is the latest

live from LA with Dean McCarthy. Dean, tell us about the really ugly divorce battle that's going down in Kelly Clarkson's family. Oh, you know what? This is the thing. When you marry someone rich and famous, there's always the ugliest divorce battles ever.

Kelly Clarkson's ex, his name is Brandon Blackstock. He was never really in the spotlight, really. He wasn't because they weren't, I don't know. He was kind of like in the background, I guess you could say. He wants a whopping amount of money as spousal and child support he wants six hundred thousand dollars a month a month a month i know if you're in your car right now you've pulled over and you're all at work just absolutely gasping for air but this is still not the most ridiculous divorce that's going on right now dr dray's soon to be ex-wife wants $2.5 million a month in

spousal support, plus $10 million for her legal costs for the divorce against him. Wow. She wants him to pay for the divorce. I find it incredible because whose kids cost, because he wants her to spousal support.

I know kids are expensive. I've got one. Whose kids cost $600,000 a month? But the thing is, is that Kelly Clarkson has gotten primary custody of the kids. Right. Which, I mean, he still obviously will look after them from time to time and that. But she has the primary custody. So she's looking after them most of the time anyway. She's looking after them most of the time.

But he's claiming he needs $7 million a year. For weekends. For weekends. Which is a lot of money. It's also, yeah. Here's the thing. So you remember

Britney Spears' ex, I want to say Kevin Federline. So basically, how they justify this, they say that if the child is living a certain lifestyle

with the rich one, like Britney Spears, for example, when they come to his house, they should have the same accustomed lifestyle. That's how they justify these exorbitant things, even when the kids aren't living with them.

I guess you don't want the kids to go, oh, I don't want to go to poor dad's house. He's only got Cocoa Puffs, not Cocoa Pops. You know what? I feel like it's a good thing. Then the kids get a sense of a little bit of normality every now and then, maybe. Maybe.

Yeah. Maybe. Oh, well. Lifestyles of the rich every now and then, maybe. Maybe. Yeah. Maybe. Oh, well. Lifestyles of the rich and famous, eh, Dean? That's Dean McCarthy, our Hollywood correspondent, live out of Los Angeles, thanks to Cookie Time. Celebrating 35 years of Christmas cookies, you can book a seller now at christmascookies.co.nz.

Bree and Clint. Clint, we're live from Morning Car on ZM's Ultimate Summer Roadie. We're giving away $500 in Nando's vouchers just after 4 o'clock, if you want to stick with us. Clint, last night after the show, we went to dinner, and I said to you, have you seen this crazy story that was all over social media that's happening in Auckland? And it was about a Pomeranian dog called Bill

who had been stolen from his home in Kingsland in Auckland and these people were trying to get the dog back. They'd had video footage, surveillance footage of the guys that they thought took Bill from their home on Sunday and after a lot of work of people on social media, there has been an outcome. Right. We have the person who owns the Pomeranian called Bill on the phone with us right now.

Let's say hello to Monique. Hi, Monique. Hi, how are you guys? Very good. It's been a massive week for you. Can you tell us exactly what happened? So we had some people over on Saturday night because we had just moved into our house and they were like, we'll have a flat one and we'll have

people over for a barbecue. And so everybody, there was about 20 people over and then three guys came to the front door and they were like, we're here for the party, we know your flatmate. And I was like, that's cool. I introduced myself, we let them in,

they walked up the back and obviously into the garden because it was a nice night. And then everyone was like, they said that they knew me. And everyone kind of clicked straight away that they didn't know me. And they were then asked to leave. And then on the way out, because Bill had been exhausted from having all the people here, they just picked him up and took him. Terrifying. That is so terrifying, Monique.

Because how old is Bill? He's not very old, is he? He's only 16 weeks, and I've had him for three. So that happened on Saturday night. Wow, that happened on Saturday night. And then from there, what happened? How long was it until you realized the dog had been stolen? I was in my flatmate's room and when I came out,

because we've got other dogs in the house as well, I was like, there's one, there's two, and then I was like, where's Bill? It's just, you know, it's just what you do when you've got dogs in the house. And then I just kind of was, I was just like, I can't find Bill anywhere. And there was about 20 people that just got up

and then just started running around Kingsland. And then... Trying to find him. Yeah. So there was like 20 people with like their phones, their torches on, trying to find him, calling his name. And then we just maybe 20 minutes into the search, we just clicked that he'd been taken because...

How did you know, Monique? Because like easily a 16-week-old puppy could have like, you know, gotten out and ran off. How did you know? Was it something in your gut? You were like, oh, someone's taken him. Like, how did you jump into action from there? Well, it wasn't really me that jumped into action because I was distraught. It was my other flatmate Lucinda. She jumped into action because she, like, we know his behaviour and he's very he sticks with other dogs or he sticks with us

like he's not a bolter like at all, even though he's only 16 weeks, like we just knew and then Lucinda just was like the only way we're going to get him back is if we share it everywhere every single dog group and it just went ballistic didn't it

people just started to get behind this thing and so many people were sharing it. Were you getting leads from people off social media about potentially who could have taken him, where he could be? To be honest, we did get heaps of leads, but then we just started kind of using logic as well. So we decided to go to one of the local bars and get CCTV footage from there. So smart.

And then we actually were sitting behind the bar drinking a Lion Red. And we were like, that's the guys. And so we took photos from there and then we put them on social media. And then we were lucky enough to have some people with quite big audiences behind them to share the post, and then they got in contact with us with a girl that had taken photos with him on the Saturday night, and then we handed that all over to the police,

and then the police, because we had given them really good photos, they were able to action from there. So the police went around and got the dog? Yeah, because we had given them really good photos, they were able to action from there. So the police went around and got the dog? Yeah, what happened? How'd they know? We had this great police officer, and she knows people, I guess, and was like, this guy's got the dog.

And then she was like, I know who he is. Don't go near him. We'll sort this out. Whoa. Can you imagine? That's crazy. So did the police officers just, the dog is home, right? Did the police go around and get your dog back for you?

They went around and got Bill? Yeah, and then we had like, to make sure nothing bad happened, when they were going to get him, we had like police officers outside our house, which was really funny. Whoa. It's like a full hostage situation. Yeah.

So what's the outcome? You've got the dog back. What happens to the people that stole the dog? Do you know? house, which was really funny. Whoa, it's like a full hostage situation. Yeah, that's quite funny. So what's the outcome? You've got the dog back. What happens to the people that stole the dog? Do you know? Yeah, what goes down now? We actually don't know yet, so we're just kind of waiting to hear. To be honest, all you really care about is that you've got your family member back and you're so lucky that it

ended this way, you know, because so many people this happens to and they don't see their loved one come back. So I'm so happy because I saw this story breaking yesterday and I was like, oh my God, this is crazy. I've just gotten a new, I've got a 16 week old puppy. So I put myself in your shoes and I was like, I can't even imagine. So I'm just so happy for you that you've got your little baby back.

Yeah. Well done, Monique. Good stuff. Yeah. Nice. Okay done, Monique. Good stuff. Yeah, nice. Okay, there you go. A great story of the power of social media. Right.

And how it can, you know, really make an impact in a great way. So that's cool. We're at the Yacht Club and it is stormy as. It's quite exciting, actually. Speaking of taking what you can get, you know, the norm is working a five-day a week, isn't it? That's the bog standard. That is the bog standard. But there's a company in New Zealand who have decided that they are going to trial all of their staff on a four-day work week.

This is the future. Ross Boss, if you're listening. Yeah, how about you do this, Ross? This is the future. Do you know how much better we would be if we only did four days a week we'll put our hand up to test it we'll be so we'll be potent man the company uh that is proposing this and uh announced it uh on tuesday is unilever oh that big company massive company um and they said that they will be trialing 81 staff on a four-day work week.

So essentially what they're going to do is they're going to run it for a year. So it's going to go for 12 months. Yeah. And they're not asking them to work longer days on those four days. Oh, really? No, I don't believe so. This is what I've read anyway. So they're saying, the managing director, Nick Bangs, is saying that they're going to assess how the change works

with regards to the way the work is done rather than asking the employees to pull longer shifts. I guess, yeah, because one way is you go do four 10-hour days instead of five eights. Or you go you've got less time. Work harder, work faster. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We're giving you less time to get your work done

but we'll give you more time off if you get it done. We'll go harder for those four days. I don't know what it is but there's a calculation about how much like wasted time there is in an eight-hour workday because you're like, okay, I'll get it done. Sometime between now and Friday I'll get that done. But if you knew that you could have Friday off if you got everything done. I'd go hundy.

You would. I'd go absolutely flat check. The question is, would that last? Yeah, how long? After a year and you got used to this four-day thing. How retainable is it? Yeah. I don't know.

Well, actually, no, the wrong attitude. It's sustainable. Yeah. It's totally sustainable. What did I say? Retainable. Yeah. It's retainable. It's so retainable. It's easy. Now, did I say? Retainable. Yeah. It's retainable.

It's so retainable. It's easy. No, you've got to take a positive. No, I'm just saying we're the employees. Take a positive attitude. Well, this is the question. Because if management is listening. And I think I've asked you this question before.

I've always wanted to know who came up with the ratio of five days work, two days off. Who came up with that? It would have been a boss. You know what? I looked it up. Oh, really? I looked it up so we can all hate the same person. Julius Caesar.

You know what? It's a person we kind of all know. Really? Yeah, I think so. Well, the internet has told me that they believe that Henry Ford, yes, I'm talking about the Henry Ford, the CEO of the Ford Motor Company, pretty much started the five-day, 40-hour work week. That's why I'm a Holden man.

Me too. Always will be. I've always been a Holden man myself. Right. You're a big Holden man. Commodore. Yeah. Commodores for me. I like that big Holden fan. Commodore. Yeah. Commodores for me.

I like that. Holden Cruz. SS Utes. Bree and Clint. Bree and Clint. We're live on our ultimate summer roadie, thanks to Juicy Campervans. And we're building towards a big event,

a bungee jump at the end of the week. That's correct. Yeah. I don't want you to stress about it now. I know you are stressed about it. No, I'm already. I've been stressing all week. I've got an A-list celebrity on the show in the next 10 minutes

to help you with your issues. Is that A-list celebrity a hypnotist? No. Because I don't know if they're going to be able to get rid of my severe fear of heights. They are inspirational, though. Okay? Okay.

And they're a very, very big deal. And they're joining us in the next 10 minutes. All right. Don't focus on it for now, though, because actually this is important. I've got some sculpture news. I know it's been a long time. Jeez. Maybe never we've covered sculpture news, but I've got breaking sculpture news, everybody.

Here on the Brian Clint Show, we love the sculpture. Do we? We don't mind a sculpture. I think they're hit and miss. Right. That's my personal take. This one's a hit. On a sculpture.

And this sculpture's been stolen, unfortunately. Police in South Germany are searching for a very distinctive piece of stolen artwork, a sculpture known as the, and I hope I get the pronunciation right for this, the Holes Penis. I've seen it. It's a massive woody. Because it's made of wood, isn't it? It's a big wooden penis.

Penis. Yeah. And it's been stolen. The Holes Penis. Holes Penis. I think I'm saying it right. Is a phallic wooden statue. Wouldn't have said phallic.

That was found erected at the mountain of Glutin a couple of years ago. They didn't know how it got there. It just appeared. What do you mean? It was just a surprise. What is a surprise sculpture? Surprise penis sculpture. Yeah, it just popped up.

Who's making that at home and going, I'm going to drop it off here? Anyway, it spent some time there. It became a town icon. The Holes Penis, people appreciated it. The town became known for it. Two metres tall. Jeez. So big boy.

Yeah. And now, out of nowhere, the statue is gone. The local newspaper is reporting that the Holes Penis was gone and all that's left was a sorry stump and some sawdust. I heard that it did get very cold there, so that's what they're saying. They're leading towards that.

That's why it's missing. I've nicked some rude stuff on night outs before, but imagine you wake up with a two-metre penis in your room. I have before. So we're on ZM's Ultimate Summer Roadie at the moment. We're travelling around the South Island. We're visiting different tourism operations who at the moment it's really important to support them,

get out and support local businesses, right? Super supportive, never been more important. We're building to a big one on Friday where you are going to do something you've never done before. And I believe in you, you're going to do this. Why are you where you are going to do something you've never done before. And I believe in you. You're going to do this. Why are you saying I am going to do it? I've said tentatively I will think about it.

And I'm going to try and get you across the line right now to do your first ever bungee jump. Coincidentally, an inspirational New Zealander has done something very similar today. Please welcome to the show the man who today did his first ever skydive. It's All Blacks captain Richie McCaw. You're shitting me. Hey, afternoon. Mr. McCaw, how are you doing? It's Breein Clint.

Hey, nice to talk to you. I'm doing real well. So today... Sounds exciting for you guys later in the week, eh? How the hell have you got Richie McCaw on? Because he believes in the cause. He got out there and did something new in New Zealand because that's what we're doing, right?

I saw this story this morning. Yeah. The picture looks epic. So, Richie, how was your first ever skydive today? It was pretty cool, I've got to say. I'd always said I'd do it one day, but never just sort of got around to it or perhaps I just avoided it until it was suggested

to try something new to help you guys. Help the cause. Get out and have a crack. Yeah. So I jumped out of an aeroplane at 15,000 feet. It was pretty cool. Skydive Tauranga. You came down over the mount.

It was incredible. I would go as far to say, and I mean I wasn't there, but tell me, probably life-changing, right? Yeah. I've flown in aeroplanes a lot. Yeah, because you shit your pants beforehand. Yeah. Well, to be honest, I was like, they asked me, probably life-changing, right? Yeah. Like, I've flown in airplanes a lot. Yeah, because you shit your pants beforehand. Yeah. Well, to be honest, I was like,

they asked me, are you nervous? I was like, nah, nah, I'm sweet, I'm sweet. And I got on board, and then it was just when the door opened up, when we were up at the height where we were going to jump out, I was like, actually, I'm going to have to do this. To be honest, when you're strapped in, and the old mate helping you get to the edge, you're like, oh, well, no backing out now.

And off we went. You've got no choice, Richie. You're going over. I've offered that to Bree as well. I've offered to strap myself to her to help get her over the bungee jump platform. And she's still not keen. Could you give Bree some advice today or maybe a little bit of inspiration? Well, you could offer to strap me to Richie McCaw and I'd be on board.

Actually, a couple of years ago, I hadn't done a bungee jump before, and we were at a function down at the Quora Bridge and got suggested that Gemma and I do one together, so we managed to do that. I've got to say, when the ground's coming up to you and the water's coming up, it's pretty scary, but thousands of people have done it, so it's safe, and there's actually not much better of a rush than either jumping out of an aeroplane or jumping off a bridge.

There you go. You've done both now, bungee and skydive. What's worse? What's scarier? Oh, the skydive. This is good. This is the stuff we need. How am I meant to back out of this now when you've got the best rugby player ever on the phone telling me, pushing

me to do it. I can't. I will be disgraced by all of Kiwis. I know. It's like I did this on purpose or something. You just think about when you're a few years time, you look back and go, I couldn't quite do it. Or actually, I did that. I know what I'd rather say. God, there's a reason why you

were bloody Captain Richie, I tell you that. You're inspirational. Richie McCourt, he's not used to doling out advice to Australians, but he's made an exception. I appreciate that a lot. Just for today. Congratulations on the skydive, Richie, and good work for getting out there and trying something new in New Zealand. It's not much of a chore.

It's pretty cool to do something like that. So I think if we can get Kiwis all around the place, hammer crack it, trying something new, doing something new, then we're in a pretty good spot. Good on you guys for doing that too. There we go. I can't say no now, can I? There is a chance we could switch it to a skydive if you want.

I don't know. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. It is the exact time to play Google. Google, are you down, down, down, down, down, down? What the hell? I think Google's actually... Down, down, down, down, down, down, down. What the hell? I think Google's actually... It is a quest to find the nation's fastest Googler. You will go head-to-head with everyone here in the studio,

our makeshift studio here in Wanaka this afternoon, and that person will be Nicole. Hello. Hey, guys. How are you? Good, thank you, mate. So are you? Good. Thank you, mate. So first question we need to ask you, are you Googling this afternoon on a phone or a laptop? On a phone.

Okay, perfect. That means our fellow Googlers here, Clint and producer Anastasia, will be using a phone as well to keep it fair. I'm looking forward to the day someone comes on and Googles from a Google HomePod. Yeah, well, I mean, that is allowed. It's allowed. We haven't said no. Alright, so this is how the game works.

We will have a number of questions. When you know the answer, just yell out the answer straight away. You don't need to buzz in with your name. The first person to yell out the correct answer will receive a point. If you yell out the wrong answer, you are out of that question.

Got it. First Googler to three points will take the title this afternoon of the best Googler. Does that make sense, Nicole? Yep. It seems like a lot of stuff to get through. Just say yes and go with the flow. All right, Nicole, just yell out when you have the answer. Here we go. Question number one in Google Down.

How many people have been to the moon? Start Googling. What is the top answer on Google? Twelve. Oh, she's come through with the good. That is correct, Nicole. What was the number? Twelve is the number because that is how many people have actually set foot on the moon.

Wow. It is the top answer on Google. Nicole, you're off to a flying start. Nice work. I'm just looking at the people who have been to the moon. They're all very, what's the word I'm looking for? Male. And white.

And white. A lot of white males. Did you know there's a guy called Alan Shippard who's been to the moon? Yeah. You could ask Alan about that. What's been this big, gay, gorgeous Al's name? Anyway, sorry, we're getting side-chained. I think that might be mistaken.

He went to the gay club called the moon. Let's go to question number two. Nicole, are you ready? Yep. All right, perfect, mate. Here we go. Question number two. What is roughly Usher's net worth?

Start Googling. Yell it out when you know. $180 million. I believe producer Anastasia took that point just. And Nicole, you were right in there too. All right. That means one point to producer Anastasia, one point to Nicole. Here comes question number three.

Currently, how many Kiwis are left? Start Googling. I found this quite interesting. 68,000. I'm going to have to give it to Clint. He came in. It was a bit of a shaky answer, but I will give him the point. 68,000 currently Kiwis left, and we do need to

get on top of it because we are losing them every week. I've got to be honest, there's more Kiwis than I thought we had. Well, that's good. Let's hopefully build that up even more. If you're listening, Kiwis, make love right now. Question number four. It's one point apiece here in Google Down.

Here it comes. When were the dinosaurs fully extinct? Start Googling. Yell it out when you know. 65 million years ago. I believe producer Anastasia started that answer first, so I've got to give it to her. Nicole, you were right in there. Come on. It's two to produce Anastasia. This is the closest game we've ever had. One to Clint and one to Nicole. Clint and Nicole, you need to get this point to keep producer Anastasia out of it.

Come on, Nicole. Good luck, Nicole. Here we go. Come on, Nicole. Question number five. How many letters are there in the alphabet? 26. 24.

Producer Anastasia has yelled out, I believe, a guess. Is that correct? Yep. She's yelled out a guess. It could be right. And it is right. She's taken out Google Down for two weeks in a row. Producer Anastasia, unlucky

Nicole. You were right in every single point there. Probably one of the best Google Downers we've had on the phone. This game makes you second guess everything. Like, who doesn't know how many letters are on the alphabet? Normally you do. Well, that's the thing. But this throws everything out of the window, doesn't it?

Nicole, I want you to call back next week because you were very, very good. Yeah. Okay. So try and call back next week. There it is. Googledown for another week. She's like, I don't want to. Can I just have the mobile fuel?

Imagine the situation where, you know, you're in your early 20s and your parents, you might still be, you're probably still living with your parents, and your mum or your dad comes in and says, look, I've got to tell you something. I'm dating one of your friends. Oh. Very awkward.

Very awkward. Very awkward. Quite unusual. But a woman has revealed about how she fell in love with her son's best friend who was 22 years her junior. A full Stacey's mom situation. Yeah, pretty much. Her name's Dawn. She's 42. And she said she was instantly attracted to her son's best friend, T.

They were introduced to each other, and apparently both of them felt a connection, and within six days, they were together. T's family found out. They kicked him out of the house. They didn't approve. That's all right. You can move him with Dawn. Well, that's what happened. That's right, you can move in with Dawn. Well, that's, you know,

that's what happened because Dawn said... She's set up for... Yeah, Dawn said, we're in love, you can move in with us but we need to tell my son slash your best friend.

Sorry, can I just need to backtrack a second? Yeah. How old is T? T is currently 20. Oh yeah, okay. So there's 22 years difference. Yeah, he's over 20. They met when 22 years difference. Yeah, he's over 20.

They met when he was 18. Yeah, that's still legally above board. Yes. Anyway, so what happened was they kicked him out of the house and she was like, you can come live with us. We're going to have to tell my son slash your best friend. Anyway, they ended up breaking news. Together.

They were terrified to tell ended up breaking news. Together. They were terrified to tell him about the news and apparently he was like, I'm fine with it. Really? I'm glad you guys are happy. That's all I care about, if it's the real deal. Wow, that's a very mature 20-year-old.

Isn't it? Because that is the right opinion, I believe. Like, if he's your best friend, then you obviously think he's a good guy. And you want your mum to be happy. It'd be very weird. No, it'd be very weird. Actually, I'm not going to picture that.

Because all of a sudden your best mate is your stepdad. Yeah. You know? Yeah. Just a very... And when you ask your mum if you can do something, I mean, you don't have to ask your mum much when you're 20. You've got to ask your best friend.

But she's like, go and ask your stepfather. And he's like, yeah, bro, we can definitely do that. Can I come? Your stepdad, you go to ask your stepdad to buy alcohol for you because it's in America and he's like, I can't, I'm 20. Yeah, true, yeah. Imagine that though, your best mate's together with your mum and then all of a sudden you're planning R&V that year

and you have to book a site where your mum can come and stay with you too. So you've got to get the nice site. Because she wants to spend New Year's with her boyfriend. Yeah, she's got to get the New Year's kiss. And he's going to R&V with you, all of a sudden mum's going to New Year's. Oh, maybe mum's great on the piss, maybe it's fine. Do you reckon this has happened in any families of people that are listening? Mums or dads dating

friends of theirs. Yeah. Yeah, it has. It definitely has. I'm just trying to think, like, what's the line? Like, where is it okay? All these ages marry up. It's all above It's all above bored.

Yeah. Which, I mean, there would be situations like that. That could happen later in life. Is your mum dating your best friend? Is your dad dating your best friend? Or we'll take even just friends. Because I mean best friends is quite intense. And are you okay with it?

Or do you friggin hate it? Or has it broken up the family? And the friendship. 0800 dial ZM Are your parents dating any of your friends or have they in the past? You can also text us on 9696

You can also remain anonymous. Brian Clint. Quite a saucy question this afternoon. Has either of your parents ever dated any of your friends? Yeah. I mean, not the most super common thing to come up in a family situation. It is a bit taboo. I mean, usually probably quite a big age difference.

And probably quite embarrassing for everyone involved, I think. Yeah. Embarrassing for you as the friend. Embarrassing for the parent to go, well, I love my kid's friend, you know? We hit it off at... Not embarrassing for the friend who's dating the parent. In fact, often bragging rights, I think, for guys to go, yeah, I'm dating David's mum.

Oh, I don't know. I'm telling you. I don't know whether it's right to brag about or not, but it would. Okay, we know what it's like in your friend circle. We've asked you this afternoon to share your stories. Let's go with anonymous first. Hello, anonymous.

Hi, guys. Mate, tell us, has this happened in your life where one of your friends has dated a parent of yours? So not me particularly, but I was friends with a lady I worked with and her husband was quite a bit older than her. Okay. We became quite good friends, and I found out that her husband was actually her best friend's dad.

Whoa! So they ended up getting married. Yeah. He had younger kids too, so she was obviously... The same age. And within 10 years of her stepson as well. Whoa. They remained being best friends.

Really? So the best friend didn't care and was like, I just want you guys to be happy. I think, yeah, she got to that point. Eventually. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, it's nice that they did get to that point because you can break families up.

And if they're going to go as far as getting married, you kind of go, okay, well, it's not a random thing. It is the real deal, yeah. Yeah, juicy. Oh, thanks for sharing. Yeah, thanks, Anonymous. That's crazy. Let's go to John.

Hey, John. G'day, John. G'day, how you going? John, I believe that one of your friends is dating your mum. That's correct, yeah. How did this come about, John? Well, he's a mate from school that a group of us have kind of stayed in contact. Especially your mum.

What's that? Nothing. Nothing. Carry on, John. And one night we got a message from him in group chat saying he'd got with an older woman. And, you know, a bit of a laugh. And then we were out for some drinks and we got some more details and things started clicking and it was pretty embarrassing

when I clicked and realised it was my mum. It was your mum? No, John! Yeah. Oh my God. He's told you all the details about it. You don't want to know that.

Did he know it was your mum when he hooked up with her? No, no. No, he didn't. Can you imagine? Your friend was like, yeah, she looks really familiar to me. I can't figure it out. Okay, so you said dating. So they are dating.

Are you okay with that? Well, I think they have gone a few dates. I'm not too sure. I'm trying to not really think about it. But yeah, no, it's pretty weird. Yeah, pretty weird. I bet it's pretty weird. John, one last question.

What's the age difference between your mum and your friend? Well, my mate is 26 and mum is 57. Oh, she's doing well, isn't she? Is mum a bit of all right? What was that? Don't ask him that. Well, you know. Don't ask poor John that. I've always wondered this.

If you had a hot parent, do you know that you have a hot parent? What would you rate your mum out of 10? She's a smoking hot 10. Well, there you go. What else am I going to rate my mum? Set her up with one of your mates. She's married, okay? Thank you, John.

We've got one more anonymous caller to talk to. Hello, anonymous. Hello. Hello. Tell us, anonymous. Thank you. Good afternoon to you. Has one of your friends dated one of your parents, anonymous?

Yes, yeah. One step further than dating though, and it was all a bit sort of secret service stuff, and it wasn't until I got a call from my stepfather at the time who rang to tell me that he was with my best friend. She's been my maid of honour and we've been mates for a very long time. And, yeah, hello.

Wow. She's, like, real close to you, maid of honour, best friends for a long time. You sound quite dark. Did it break up your parents' relationship or anything? Was there anything underhanded about it? Yeah, yeah, absolutely. It was totally underhanded.

My mum was the first child of some sort in school. She was the next big bear in us. Your best friend, your mate of honour... That's horrible, Anonymous. ...got with your stepdad while he was still married to your mum? Yeah, yeah. Whoa. with your stepdad while he was still married to your mum? Yeah, yeah. What did you say? What did you say, Anonymous, when all this, like, came out?

What did you, what happened between you and your best friend? Well, look, pretty much just everything just blew apart and parted ways. Not a lot of conversations were had after that. No. Are they still together? Yeah, they are. So, you know, maybe it was the right thing also

that we had been together probably longer than the other side. But it's pretty sad, though. Not that it's particularly relevant, but I always like to ask this question. What city or town in New Zealand did this happen in? In Auckland. Oh yeah, that doesn't explain much.

Like I said, it's not particularly relevant. No, no. Just interesting. Well, thanks for sharing, Anonymous. That's quite sad, isn't it? There you go. You asked the question, does it happen in New Zealand? Do people's parents hook up with their kids' best friends? And what do we come to? 100% it does. Sometimes, yeah.

Shout out to John. hook up with their kids' best friends. And what do we come to? 100% it does. Sometimes, yeah. Yep. Shout out to John. Poor John. And shout out to John's mum. Shout out to John's mum. She sounds delightful. Bree and Clint. Hey.

Yeah, well, it brings back some memories. Oh, I get that, and that's the whole point. I love that. Okay, thanks, Sian. All right, let's kick it off with number two, Summer. Hello. Hi. How are you, mate? I'm good, thank you. How are you? That's good.

I'm good, thank you, Summer. Let's do your birthday bang. What's your birthday? 23rd of July, 1996. All right. You were 16 in 2012 on the 23rd of April. And Summer, this is your birthday bang. Hey, I just met you.

Yeah. Always have. It's up there with Barbie Girl as far as It's a classic. It's a pure candy floss pop, you know? It was a great song. Great song. Okay, so I'm gonna wait there. We gotta do one more birthday. Hang on. Tyler, that's you. Hello, mate.

Oh, okay. Did you and Tyler share a moment? That sounds sinister, doesn't it? Yeah. Okay, Tyler, what's your birthday? 30 September 1997. Right, mate, you were 16 in 2013 on the 30th of September. And here's your birthday banger.

Now, I haven't met Tyler, but you have. Is this an appropriate birthday banger for Tyler? I feel like it suits you, Tyler. That's what I felt like when I met you. Yeah, 10 out of 10. Like, what an absolute banger. Did you sing at Friday Oki live, Tyler? Nah, nah, nah.

I couldn't do that. Oh, okay. Nah. I was going to say... You can say what happened at Friday Oki if you want, Tyler. So... Oh, it's cutting out! Someone doesn't want us to know what happened.

Say again, say again. You cut out for a second. Oh, sorry. Oh, my God, we can't get it happened. No, say again. Say again. You cut out for a second. Oh, sorry. Oh, my God. We can't get it out. That's so weird. And with that, I think it should remain a mystery. No, because then people are going to think it's like real sinister.

I know. I signed Tyler's chest with a pen. Well, we don't know because Tyler can't confirm it. Is that right, Tyler? I'm here. What was that? Sorry? No, see, we still can't get it to Tyler.

I signed your chest. My first chest signing. Yeah, yeah. Oh, now it sounds like he's just agreeing. Barbie girl, call me maybe or wrecking ball. What's the winner of birthday banger today? Ooh. I've never seen wrecking ball come up.

She's back in a big way, yeah. Bigger than ever with Prisoner, her latest one. Plastic Hearts, I think the album's called.

I've listened to a bit of it. It's so good. Yeah? Really good. Brie and Clint. Okay, you ready? I don't know. You've got to be ready for this, okay?

Welcome to... Welcome to the fourth edition of Bree String. This is so dumb. The game where Bree guesses whether you're wearing a G-string or not. I feel confident today. The track records. Game one, 40% correct. Game two, 80% correct.

Game three, 100% correct. Game two, 80% correct. Game three, 100% correct. I mean, what more do I have to do for the people? Some people say end it there, go out on a high. But I say we can't. That would be smart. It's like if Richie McCaw had retired after the 2011 World Cup. People want more. We would have never got 2015, would we?

People want more. So we're going to have one more go. But if we go backwards, it's over. Okay. Okay, this is the last Brie string. If you get anything less than 100. Okay. So here we have five calls.

Oh, jeez, there's a lot riding on this. Five people. Can you get 100% again? Welcome to the show, Lily. Hello, Lily. What's up, guys? Lily, Brie is going to ask you one question and then she is going to guess whether you're wearing a G-string or not. I do need to be clear that anything other than G-string is not.

Is it no? So it's G-string or not. Okay. Okay. All right, Lily. This question has served me well in the past. What kind of car do you drive? I drive a black Subaru Outback.

Ooh. Ooh. This tells me a lot about you, Lily. I'm going to say you wear a G-string. All right. Did you say yes? Did you say yes, Lily? We haven't lost it.

Lily. I heard yes. It was yes. Okay, great. Great. Let's move on. That's a good start. Thank you, Lily.

It's all over at any point in this game. One wrong and the game's over. One wrong and it's over. Louise, hi. Hello, Lou. Hi. Welcome to Bree String. Bree has one question before she guesses whether you're wearing a G-string or not.

Good luck. Louise. Yes. What do you have for breakfast? What do I have for breakfast? I often don't eat breakfast. Oh, lives on the edge. You know what that tells me?

Because she's a bit wild, lives on the edge. She's a G-string wearer. Yes. Get in! Two from two. Thank you, Louise. Okay, we're doing well. You're doing well.

Okay, okay. Maddie, hi. Hi, Maddie. Hi. Can you feel the tension? I'm nervous. Me too, Maddie. Come on, let's try and channel each other.

Try and tell me subconsciously what underwear you're wearing. One question. Here it comes. All right, Maddie, what do you do for work? I work as a sales coordinator at a plumbing shop. Oh, I know what this is. So you work at a plumber's. Absolutely 100% a g-string wearer, lock it in.

You are right. The questions have been good, and now I've run out. If she had said she was a plumber, that would have been different. Different. Yeah, but because she's a sales coordinator, no chance of plumbers cracking. Out of plumbing shop. Yeah.

Exactly. Yeah, well done. Okay, Paris is here. Hi, Paris. Hi, Paris. Hi there, hi there. My heart is racing for you, Bree. So far out. Paris, Paris is here. Hi, Paris. Hi, Paris. Hi there. Hi there. My heart is racing for you, Brie. So far out.

Paris, this is big. This is massive, yeah. Oh, God. She's two steps away from glory. Here we go, Paris. One question. Paris, describe to me in one word your type. Girl.

I feel like I know the answer. I believe you don't wear G-strings. Oh, my gosh. You're a sidekick. Okay. Wow. Okay, now I'm up on my seat. This is the last one.

Carmen, hi. Hi, Carmen. Hi. This is the last one. Carmen, hi. Hi, Carmen. Hi. This is huge. This determines whether this game lives or dies. I have said anything less than 100% Bree String doesn't come back. The game where Bree guesses

whether you'll have a G-string on or not. We're at 100% so far. I can't believe we're at 100%. And you're the last caller. Carmen, one question from Bree. Here it is. Okay, Carmen. On a night out, would you rather wear a heel or more of a flat shoe?

A heel. G-string wearer. Carmen, are you wearing a G-string? Yes. We did it! We did it! We did it! We did it! We did it! We did it!

Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! 100% Oh my god 100%

Two weeks in a row 100% strike rate Well done I've got goosebumps everywhere That means The segment has to come back Next Wednesday We will delve into

The undercarriage of New Zealand Once more When Bree String returns. What a stupid game. I know, but it's so exhilarating. Here's Jason Derulo, Bree and Clint. We're live from Wanaka on ZM. We were talking yesterday about how the laws are changing

in time for summer festival season to allow pill testing at festivals. Yeah, this has been a big thing of contention for a long time. And finally, they've gotten it over the line to make it safer for people that there will be pill testing available. We believe that no one should die from experimenting, especially when they're young. And most parties in Parliament agreed. In fact, all parties voted yes, except for the National Party. Really? Yeah.

There you go. This, obviously, a topic like this, is the stuff that Talkback thrives on. Oh, this is the stuff. This is bread and butter for boomers. This is why Talkback keeps going on. Yeah. It keeps living through topics like this. New Zealand's biggest Talkback channel

Newstalk ZB tackled that issue today with the icons Simon Barnett and Phil Gifford. They're the GCs, those guys. Yeah, they are. They put it out to their audience just to get a feel on what their take on pill testing at festivals was. I want to play

you a call that went to air on Newstalk ZB today. I think this play you I can't wait for this. I want to play you a call that went to air on News Talk ZB today and I think this will give you an insight into you know, how the community are feeling about this sort of thing. Have a listen. And from my personal experience, you know, I don't do drugs myself Right. You know, I'm 23

years old. I try to stay away from them but, you know, last weekend I had one of these black Maserati things, whatever they're called, and I woke up next to my cousin next morning. Oh. And, you know, that's the sort of thing that's in there. I think that there's some sort of aphrodisiac or something

that they've got on these pills. Yeah, that sounds a bit nasty. Right, I think we might move on from that one. Yeah. Wait, so that guy there is saying that he reckons there's something in the pills that makes you hook up with your cousin. I mean, you can blame a lot of things, but I don't feel like that's one thing. So much about that makes me laugh.

Simon Barnett, the seasoned broadcaster, he just goes, oh. And then Phil, like a seasoned professional, goes, I think we should move on from this one. How awkward. I don't know if that's a service that the pill testing is offering. I don't know you can take them a black Maserati and they'll go, look, we've tested it and we've found this is 95% sleep with your cousin. So I probably wouldn't take that one.

The decision is yours. Obviously, we're not going to take it off you. Jesus. Talk back.
