A lot of sleeping. Anastasia slept through her bender on Saturday. Great day. Yeah. Were you meant to go somewhere? I'd already bended the day before, so... With Bree and bender. I wasn't down for a double bender.

We went Hunty P on Friday night, didn't we? Yeah. That was a good night, actually. We finally got up on the rooftop bar. I know. Finally. That was a lot of fun. Can I give a shout-out to the guys at the Cowboys bar in Queenstown?

Oh, they were lovely. Did you go back to Cowboys? Yeah, we're back. We all rode the bull again. I don't actually remember any of Cowboys. That bull is a broken forearm waiting to happen. Well, the guy that was controlling it on Friday night was going a lot harder. So people were getting knocked off.

He had a long line. There was a long line. So he was just whipping them. He was whipping them around. But yeah, I love that bar and all the bar stuff there. Lovely. We went to an ice bar. I enjoyed that. Oh, how have we not talked about the ice bar? The really nice lady that we saw later on.

It was so good. Were your cups made of ice? Yep, the cups, the shot glasses. Was that an ice drinking out of a cup of ice? No, The cups, the shot glasses. Was that an ice drinking out of a cup of ice? Yeah. Or did you lipstick to it? No, you didn't stick to it. Out of a big Jägermeister sculpture.

Yeah, it looked like a vagina. Really? Yeah, it did. It looked like a penis slash vagina slash. It was quite random. A penis slash vagina? I don't know. It looked weird looking.

It looked like a snake. What was it? Sometimes I think you see what you want to see. I think there was a Jäger logo. And then Ben did one too. Yeah, I did one. Yeah, you did one out of the sculpture. Did you do it out of the penis or the vagina?

I can't remember. I think it was the Jaeger logo, whatever that animal is. Yes, you're right. It was the Jaeger. She was like, you can only do Jaeger out of this. And I was like, what? No, there's another symbol with the Jaeger and it's got a cross on it. Oh, yeah.

It looks kind of like a shield. Yeah, that's what it was. It was kind of like the Jaeger shield. It looked like a big snake head to me. Anyway, it's really, really cold. Anyway, Ice Bar, great. The lady was really fun and she gave us heaps of shots later on. Shout out to those ladies too.

They were lovely. That's a tour of Queenstown's best bars. Sundeck, Cowboys and the Ice Bar Winnie Bagos, $5 shop Jesus, how many places did you guys go? We went to a few Ferg Pies

I went to Sal's Got hooked up with some free Sal's Shout out to Sal's There's nothing I like more on a night out Than a big Sal's pizza pizza Sal's pizza by the way for our international listeners is big American style deep dish. New York pizza

Is it deep dish? It's not deep dish is it? It's just big New York style pizza. It's New York style pizza that's what it is and it's awesome. I don't know what deep dish is Did you guys see the big sales news? I think it was last week. So they try and keep everything as traditional as possible so all the what do you call it? Napoli sauce or whatever? You know all that. All the ingredients they try and keep everything as traditional as possible. So all the, what do you call it, Napoli sauce or whatever,

you know, all that, you know, all the ingredients they try and keep as authentic as possible. I don't know where they source them from. I assume Italy or New York, I don't know. They only use one type of pepperoni salami and they said that for the next week or two because of COVID and shipments and stuff, they weren't...

They couldn't get it. They couldn't get it. They're out of pepperoni. So their signature slice, pepperoni, people weren't able to get. So they'd rather not serve it than serve it with an alternative. But that's the thing. That is quality. They clearly don't want to slip their standards. So they just took it off the menu.

I appreciate that. Oh, that's why they didn't have pepperoni the other night. Yeah, so maybe it's still off. I'm not sure. I don't remember reading it. Maybe it was just I went in at 2am. Yeah, that could be an option. What a time to become a sales ambassador,

which you have done today. Oh, yeah, totally. And they don't even have this pizza you like. Oh, what a cruel twist of fate. It'll be back in two weeks. I don't know what the deadline was. Okay. But yeah.

Well, I'll be sure to check every day. You know what? I'll go and get cells. I don't mind a Simply Cheese piece. That's what I had the other night and it was delicious. I don't even remember you bringing it home. I gave you my pie. Yeah, I got the pie.

I remember the pie. Because I woke up in the morning and I was like, there's a lot of sauce all over the floor. Anyone going to ask me the most lit bit of my weekend? Yeah, what was the pie. I remember the pie. Because I woke up in the morning and I was like, there's a lot of sauce all over the floor. Anyone going to ask me the most lit bit of my weekend? No, yeah, what was the most lit part? Glad you asked. Yeah. Actually, there's three.

There's three bits. Yeah. I bought a Christmas tree. I bought the outdoor furniture set of my dreams. Oh, getting litter. And I finally repotted the succulent that was in the pot that was way too small for it. And honestly, it was so tightly built in there, I had to smash the pot to get it out. So not everybody, not the only ones who got buck wild on the weekend.

Crazy, man. Crazy. But you're glad you asked. Well, now I'm tired after that story. Who wants to go home? Have a good podcast, everybody. Bye, guys. But you're glad you asked. Well, now I'm tired after that story. Who wants to go home? Have a good podcast, everybody. Bye, guys. See you guys probably just tomorrow or something.

Christmas all up in your face. I feel like this is like Christmas at the casino. Right? Christmas roulette. Oh my God, you know what happened the other night? Yeah. So my partner and I, we were on our way home and I was like, oh, I really want hot wings from Andy's Burgers, which is at the casino. Oh, yeah. I was like just craving them after we got back from our trip on the South Island. Yeah, that's so yum. And she was like, okay, fine. Because I'd been to these parties that she wanted to go to and then I was like, that's all I've wanted.

Anyway, so I drove into the city and we parked up outside Sky City and she was like, fine, I'll run in and order them and get them. Anyway, so she's run in and it'd been about 10 minutes and I was like, okay, you know, and then 20 minutes goes by and I messaged her and I was like, where are you? And she's like, oh, you know, it took 20 minutes. And I was like, okay. Anyway, she gets back into the car and she goes, oh, so I did something when I was waiting.

She went and had a gamble. She went and hit the blackjack table and won $120. Were the wings her shout? Yeah. Well, then that's fine. You've got nothing to complain about. Oh, no, I was loving it. I was like, well, there you go.

You were living the life and I was sitting in the car. Gamble and eat responsibly, New that's fine. You've got nothing to complain about. Oh, no, I was loving it. I was like, well, there you go. You were living the life and I was sitting in the car. Gamble and eat responsibly, New Zealand. Okay, I've had those spicy ones. They're a bit too much for me. Yeah, but make sure you eat them responsibly and have nothing on the next day. Today on the show at four o'clock, in fact, thanks to Subway, we've got a whole lot of cookie Christmas presents to give away.

They're real presents thanks to Subway Cookies. Yeah, I know. How good. And, I mean, I've shaken a few of them. Yeah. And felt a few of them up. Yeah. And I think I know what a few are. Yeah. And they're bloody good.

Five o'clock, actually. So we're going to give that away. Five o'clock if you want to win it. But next, the COVID vaccine is on the way. Did you hear that? They're going to start rolling it out in the UK in the next few days. How good. I have a list of the high profile celebrities who have volunteered to get the COVID vaccine live on television. To encourage people, right?

Yeah, to encourage people, to show them that it's safe and to go, hey, we should all do this. I'm going to give you the list next and you tell me if any of them are influential enough for you. Oh, okay, good. Yeah. You know? Yeah.

I mean, we're going to get it anyway, but any of them go, damn. Is Oprah on it? Oh, Oprah's not on the list, but they should get Yeah. You know? Yeah. I mean, we're going to get it anyway, but any of them go, damn. Is Oprah one? Oh, Oprah's not on the list, but they should get Oprah. Oprah would be it, right? You think Ellen would do it? Oh, yeah, I reckon she would. She'd go, how much is it paying?

Yeah. How much? I'll give you the list. Next, right now, Harry Styles and Golden. Brie and Clint on ZM. Brie and Clint. The COVID vaccine is coming, everybody.

The UK are going to be the first ones to roll it out. They're like, we've had enough. We're doing it. Jab us up. We're going. There is going to be a group of people who go, oh, I don't trust this. I don't know about this.

And look, that's natural, I think, to a degree. It's natural to be a little bit cautious. At some stage, though, you've got to trust the doctors and you've got to trust the science and go, this is a global health crisis. We're all in this together. And they're giving it to thousands and thousands of people. Millions and millions of people.

It's going to be pretty bloody safe. Some people need convincing, though. And so some high-profile people have volunteered to be vaccinated live on TV. I'm going to run you through some of them and you tell me. I'm too bad if they've got like a fear of needles eh? Yeah right. And they're like

oh! It'll be fun to see them have their lollipop afterwards. Okay so here are the people who have come out and said they will get vaccinated live on TV. Speaking of the UK, Boris Johnson is going to get it. Oh there you go. He should. And he's already got, he's already had COVID. Oh, yeah, right. Yeah. Yeah, okay.

That Kiwi nurse looked after him. Yes. Yeah, yeah, that's right. Did a very good job. Barack Obama has volunteered to get vaccinated live on TV. That's good, yeah. That's cool, yeah. Right, okay, cool. We like Barack Obama. Speaking of presidents, President Bill Clinton has volunteered to get it live on TV. Getting the jab.

Yeah. Yeah. We'll give him that one. Getting a poke. The less said about Bill Clinton, volunteered to get it live on TV Getting the jab Yeah Yeah We'll give him that one Getting a poke The less said about Bill Clinton The better Yep Who else has volunteered President George W. Bush

Has volunteered to get jabbed on TV Yep I feel like These are not the people I was expecting you to say No If I'm honest No

I mean Barack Obama yes Yeah yeah George Bush I feel like Remember when he left and Green Day were like, don't want to be an American idiot, and we're like, up yours, George Bush. Yeah. I feel like Trump has done great

things for George Bush. Oh, he looks like, he looks like, you know, really, really, he looks like Santa Claus now. He just looks like a forgetful old man now, compared to Trump. Everyone's like, oh, poor George. Everyone's like, bring back Bush. George did a few good things. Bring back the Bush. That's a different thing. Yeah, that's a different thing. Donald Trump has not volunteered.

Surprise, surprise. I'm not surprised. Joe Biden has volunteered. Okay, cool. Here in New Zealand, Jacinda Ardern has volunteered to get vaccinated live on TV. Doesn't surprise me. Doesn't surprise me either. So those are the ones who are getting on TV.

They've just announced that the Queen and Prince Philip will be some of the first to get the vaccination. Because they're so old. And they're in the Royal Family. I don't think just all old people. No, but because they're in the high-risk group because they're old. I don't think that is because that's the reason why they're getting the COVID-19

vaccine first. I think it's because I think it's a combo. No, it's not. It absolutely is not. They are not going to vaccinate them on TV. And they haven't said why, but I think they're not going to vaccinate them on TV because imagine trying to get a needle into Philip's old skin.

Be nice. Pick up a bit, lift a flap and You're like, pick up a bit, lift a flap, and you're like, should we whack it in here? Philip, should we whack it in here? And he's like,

Philip! Where do you want it? I don't think it would even be a needle. They just poke him, like, just go straight through. Just pop it in his chin.

Yeah. Oh yeah, put a tablet in his chin. Oh yeah. We're back in our Auckland studio now. We are off the road. Yeah, we're back in the comfort. We had enough.

It was amazing. We had enough. A lot of the team wanted to get home in time for Crate Day, which was on Saturday. Yeah, I totally forgot that that was happening on Saturday. Didn't get your crate in time. I didn't get my crate. Do you know Baudelos sell out of crates on crate day?

Do they? Yeah, no other day of the year, but lead up to crate day, it's so popular. People don't even enjoy drinking crates until crate day. And then it's like, got to drink a crate, bro. Can I just ask, is that just a thing in New Zealand? Yeah, it's just a thing in New Zealand. It is, because when I first got here, people were like, oh, what are you doing for crate day?

And I was like... Do you have crates in Australia? I think so. Oh, right. Are they what milkrate Day? And I was like... Do you have crates in Australia? I think so. Oh, right. Are they what milk comes in? Yeah, yeah. I mean the beer ones. Do you have beer crates?

The wooden ones? Yeah, wooden ones. No. Oh, well, then you can't have Crate Day. No, that's probably why we don't have it. You guys could have Schooner Day. Yeah, Schooner Day. Scooey, Scooey, Moi Moi Day.

Yeah. So Crate Day goes down. Inevitably, I think Uber Eats drivers would have been very busy, probably about five or six hours earlier than they normally are. Probably around 3 or 4 p.m. Totally, and that's a good thing, because if you're doing Crate Day, you need to... Eat.

You've got to eat. Eating is very important. Our friend Sarah, who works here at ZM, messaged us on Sunday with her Uber Eats order. Oh, did she? I didn't see that. Oh, you didn't see this? This is good,

because you're someone who would have done something like this. It's not an extravagant order on Uber Eats.. Oh, did she? I didn't see that. Oh, you didn't see this? This is good because you're someone who would have done something like this. Yeah. It's not an extravagant order on Uber Eats. In fact, it's the opposite. Did she get something from Day and Night? No, it's from Macca's. Okay. She Uber Eatsed two hash browns.

Yeah, good. Great choice. And two sweet and sour sauces. That's it? That's it. No, not worth it. Not worth it. Well, you worth it. Not worth it. Well, you say it's not worth it.

It might be nice and affordable. You're paying more in the delivery fee. You don't know that. It's just what she felt like, okay? I'll tell you what. For two hash browns and two sweet and sour sauces delivered by Uber Eats. How much? Semi-hot too.

$18. You're absolutely kidding me. $18. You're absolutely kidding me. $18? Yeah. So, look, whatever you spent on Crate Day, it's fine. Okay? Write it off. It's a new week.

They've really upped the prices of those sweets. Sorry about that. Bree and Clint from iHeartRadio. This is the latest. Big news for New Zealand politics When Jacinda Ardern announced that she will allow One travel, full travel exemption This Christmas Really?

Yep Oh, who are we bringing in? And I saw the headline And I went Who is that powerful? Yeah Who is that big of a deal? Yeah.

That they get a full travel exemption, no quarantine, nothing. Oh my God, please be Floom. Be Floom. I've already bought my Bay Dreams tickets. Well. I bought them because he was coming. Please just learn to say it's Floom. Great news for festival goers.

Yes. Bay Dreams is still on, but it's not Floom. We still haven't heard about him yet. But take a listen to what Jacinda Ardern said. Santa exempt from the border regulation. A very important question. Not the first time I've been asked. But after quite a bit of consideration,

the Ministry of Health, of course, determined that the North Pole is clear of COVID. As far as we know, Santa's coming into New Zealand first. No contact with humans. So, full clearance. That's so cute. She's the MVP. And great news, too.

It is great news because New Zealand technically would be, what, his first stop, right? Yeah, yep. It is his first stop. He comes here first. And I'm great that she's done it three weeks early so he can get, you know, all of these things in place. I heard David Seymour wanted to ban Santa. Did he? Yeah, he said, I don't want him in here.

He said, no. Who else wanted to ban him? Well, that's because Santa's given him coal a few years. He's still holding a grudge. There you go. That is the latest with some great news. Thanks to Liquid Self-Service Laundromats. You can check out their website for a location near you.

I said there's a celebrity's car for sale. This is good. Remember when we talked before about the girl who bought Bowdoin Barrett's bead? This is even slightly better than that. I was going to say, this is the same. Yeah, this is the same. Yeah.

The celebrity who is selling his car, and you can buy this car. You can go, hold, did you know this is Beep's car? You can say you've got a celebrity's car. It is Post Malone Please Please make it A postman's truck Wouldn't that be good

That would be good What is it Or a Bentley Remember his album's called Bentley's Beerbongs and Bentleys What kind of car is it Post Malone is selling A 2019 McLaren Senna XP Master of Monaco.

Jesus. Nice car. Relatable. He's selling it because he doesn't get to drive it, he said. Fair enough. He's never home. He'd be so busy and he probably gets driven everywhere anyway. Yeah, true.

We don't actually know if he's got a licence, to be honest. Surely he has a licence. He'd have a licence. If he bought a 29 McLaren Senna XP Master of Monaco, he's got a licence, to be honest. Surely he has a licence. He'd have a licence. If he bought a 29 McLaren Senna XP Master of Monaco, he's got a licence, right? How much is the car worth? So there were only three of these cars ever built, and he got one.

What? When they were brand new, they sold for $1,435,328. Well, that's excessive. So one and a half mil for these cars. That's ridiculous. Yeah, but look at it. It's a beautiful car. Post, that's excessive. So one and a half mil for these cars. That's ridiculous. Yeah, but look at it. It's a beautiful car.

Post Malone's whip. You've got to add some value because it's Post Malone's as well. You would never drive it. You're right about never driving it. The car Post Malone is selling has only done 236 Ks. It's because it'd be so hard to drive that you wouldn't drive it. Yeah. Well, he didn't. And so he's going to get rid of it,

which is the responsible thing to do. But, you know, second-hand car, you've got to discount them. So 1.5 mil when he bought it. How much do you think he wants for it? How much is he selling it for? I'd say 1 mil. 1 mil? Yeah.

That's fair enough. It's come down by 30%, because as soon as you drive it off the lot, it's worth less, right? Yeah. So 1.5 mil. You can have post-mort owned car for 1.7. Wait, it's gone up. It's gone up in value.

Does he think it's because it's been owned by him it's gone up in value? Maybe. Which I mean can be true in some instances. Maybe it's because there's only three of them. I don't know. He's not James Dean. No, he's not James Dean. Well, to be honest, that car was probably an investment.

If there's three of them in the world, like any car collector would know that that car means it would go up. Yeah. Well, do you think he smoked in it as well? Let's bloody hope not, eh? That would really have an effect on the value as well. Get in the car, you're like, have you had a cat in here? Yeah.

Rumour has it he's switching to Suzuki Swift Sport. Those things are mean. Yeah, so Swift, but the gangster one. Yeah, they're awesome. It's got car play. I love it. Bree and Clint. A member of the ZM team, who I think with this story I'll keep them anonymous.

I think it's too personal. Okay. Out on Saturday night at a party. And you know that feeling when someone comes over to you at a party and it's clear that they know you, but you're not sure where you know them from? Yeah. It's a little bit awkward, eh? They came over to this certain ZM staff member and they went,

hey, how you going? And she went, oh, fine, thanks, I'm fine. And he goes, you don't remember me, do you? And she goes, no, where would I know you from? And he goes, I did your COVID-19 test. Oh. How would he remember that? How would he remember that?

He would have done hundreds of them. Thousands of them, probably. Unless he did it at a quiet time. And she would have been wearing a mask. Yeah, and the person doing the test would have been in full PPE. Well, no, you as the person receiving the test don't have a mask on, do you? I think I wore a mask every time I got a test.

What, just over your mouth? Yeah. And you just pop one nostril out? Yeah, they just tell you to pull the mask down just below your nose. Well, this person must have had very recognisable eyebrows because you know who the person is as well. And they're like, oh, buzzy. Cool.

Weird place to, apparently they got on really well after that. But it's not the sort of thing you expect to strike up conversation at a party, is it? That's very bizarre. It's like someone coming over to you at a party and going, Bree, I do your laser downstairs. Oh, no, I know my laser lady pretty well. Oh, do you?

You would recognise them at a party? Absolutely. I guess you see them multiple times. And we talk quite often. But would it be weird? Would it be weird to see them in a social situation? Okay. That one would be fine because I've been so many times

and because we've had so many conversations. What about a different activity in the same region? Maybe the person that gives me my pap smears. That's what I was going to say. Would that be awkward? Probably. The person who has to receive... Although I do really like my doctor. She's lovely.

So I wouldn't mind it if she came and said hello. Because she does other things, not just that. Imagine that year at the party like, this chick right here has seen some shit. She rocks. If you need a pap smear, go to her. Did you bring the duck, the metal duck thing? We should do some here.

We should do some of... They're not metal anymore. Are they not? They're plastic. Oh, why weren't they always plastic? What a great idea. Yeah, it's more... I feel like it's more comforting.

Are they single use? That's a good question. I don't know. Well, the metal ones weren't. I mean, they don't have to go in me, so... Yeah. I just imagine the plastic is much, it's a temperature thing. They sanitise it.

Okay, so you'd be fine with the pap smear person. Wow, you're an open book. But I am close with my lady people. Yeah, right. Okay. What about something else? Like what if you saw your ex's parents out in town? That's awkward.

Yeah, that'd be weird, wouldn't it? That's a real awkward situation. Or like a teacher from school? I feel like I'd rather... You saw a teacher from school? I feel like I'd rather see my ex than my ex's parents. Yeah. Just because...

There's more disappointment involved with the parents, eh? Well, I feel like at least, you know, with your ex, you could probably just avoid each other and it'd all be good. Whereas with the ex's parents, you're kind of like, hey, how's everything? Like, sorry it didn't work out. How's – well, you know who I'm talking about. We're not. We didn't have to write you out of the well.

It's fantastic. It's great. Yeah. When I asked this afternoon, who did you see out that was weird? You were out having a good time and then all of a sudden someone's there and you're like, man, it's actually uncomfortable for me that you're here.

This is awkward. You know? Yeah. Things are a bit weird now. Kill the buzz. 0800 dial ZM or you can text it in to us on 9696. We want to know this afternoon,

who was it weird for you to see out? Did you avoid them? Yeah, like the COVID-19 tester. Which, by all accounts, they're good mates now. Are they? Yeah, they shared half a crate, I think. Oh. Someone here at ZM

was out on Saturday night and bumped into the person who took their COVID-19 test. Someone on the text machine had a really good point and I kind of agree with them. I think it was a pick-up line. Really? Yeah.

How does the pick-up line work? They started talking, didn't they? Yeah. Oh, you just pretend that you take COVID-19 tests? Yeah, exactly. Oh, my God, that's genius. And you go, hey, you probably don't remember me, but I did your COVID test.

And you play the odds that. And that's your way in. And then you just start a conversation. Four out of five people in New Zealand have had a COVID test. Exactly. And if they go, I never had a COVID test, you go, oh, sorry, it mustn't have been you. Hi, I'm John.

Yeah. Oh, my God, that's kind of genius. I doubt it was. He might be doing COVID tests, but he just probably uses that as a pickup line. Well, we're asking you this afternoon. I know 800 dials at him. Who did you see out?

And it was a bit weird. Brooke's here. Hey, Brooke. G'day, Brooke. Hi. Oh, my God. Great to talk to you guys. Nice to have you on.

You too. Who did you see? Oh, thank you. That was awkward. Well, I'm kind of outing myself here, but I've been a psychiatric inpatient before and I happened to see one of my

nurses out at the good old beer and wine festival in Christchurch. Oh my god. And you were probably having quite a good time and they were like, keeping things under control, Brooke? They were having a great time, you know, throwing up. Wait, they were

throwing up? Yeah, and they see me and they're like, oh my god, I'm so sorry, how are you doing? Put that one in your back pocket, Brooke, you can use that one time or another. Definitely got me some leverage. Your chance to go over and counsel them, that's fascinating.

This person wants to remain anonymous. Hello, anonymous. Hello. Oh, thank you. Thanks for keeping me anonymous. No worries. Who wasn't anonymous? Who did you see out where you were like, oh, this is a bit awkward?

I was working at a bar and it was about 10 years ago, my boyfriend cheated on me and to get back out of my sleep with his friend. Yeah, classic move. And so 10 years later, I'm doing a shift at a bar and I walk in, they're both there. I have to walk past them to get to my shift behind the bar. I was mortified, couldn't go home. I wanted to die, I wanted to die.

No. Anyway, plot twist, the friend asked me out because obviously I was, you know, I had a bit of a wreck. Asked me out. Four years later, we got two kids to engage. Oh, there you go. Wait, wait, wait, wait. It's all worked out.

Wait, so you went out with this guy and then he broke up with you so you slept with his good friend and then ten years later you see both of them. Yeah. And then because ten years later you then married the best friend and had two kids of them. Yeah. And then because 10 years later you then... Married. Married the best friend and had two kids with him. Yeah.

Oh, my God. That story's amazing. It is amazing. It's a beautiful love story. What if that is? I think Ryan Gosling would play him. Yeah, you said plot twist and we weren't expecting that. Yeah, well, I reckon Rachel McAdams, why not?

Get them back together for the sequel. 100%. Yeah. 100%. All right, hey, you win. You win the phone topic anonymous. Well done. Where's the ex these days, by the way?

Oh, don't worry about her. Who cares? Who cares? Who cares? Bree and Clint. When you get takeaways, you want to believe that behind the wall in the kitchen there, spick and span, nice and clean, everything's… Scrubbed down.

Everything's capiche, right? Yes. I never think about it, to be honest. It's not worth thinking about it too much, otherwise you never eat out, right? Yeah. Especially at some of the cheaper places. You just go, I don't know what the secret ingredient is.

I don't know why this tastes good. Some of the cheapest places are the best food. Absolutely right. Some of the best value, some of the best recipes. Aucklanders, beware, because two restaurants in Auckland received an E-grade rating and 24 restaurants. E-grade? That's awesome.

No, E for excellent. E for ooh. Oh. And 24 restaurants received a D grade rating. So that's better than an E. Yeah, it's mildly better than a D, yeah. You should be shooting for an A. You're worth an A.

Okay. Right. A standard. Doesn't matter what you did the night before, you're still worth an A. Not if you look at my dating history. B at least. They got those from the Auckland Council

between September 1 and November 23. We're only finding out about it now. I don't make a habit when I go into a restaurant of looking at the food certificate, but now I want to. Because they have to have it on the wall, don't they? Yeah, they have to, yeah. And I think if they get these E's and D's, they have to shut down. And then do a clean up, reassess.

And then they get reassessed. At least that's the case for an E anyway. For example, I won't name this place, but during that period, a noodle restaurant in a central Auckland suburb. Don't say around my area. I love the noodle place down the road

from us. I'll tell you what the name of it is off air. They got an E rating on the 10th of September. Oh, that's not good. For poor cleaning, erodent infestation, cross-contamination risks, poor food storage, inadequate maintenance and food labelling. They're all the bad ones. And then they closed them down the next day. They were not an E.

They came back and retested them. Good news. They were on a D. Well, they'd improved over 24 hours. They're now on an A. Well, they'd been proved over 24 hours. They're now on an A. Okay, great. What I've done is I've organised some dumplings from a restaurant that got an E or a D rating during that period.

And producer Anastasia is going to bring them in now for kind of like a MasterChef taste test. Wait, why is she bringing them to me? Because I want to know. Why are you... You know what I'm like with dumplings. You love dumplings. No, I have told you multiple times that they repeat on me.

Now, these dumplings are from a D or E grade rating restaurant, but there's a chance that their rating since then has been rectified and they're now an A. What do you mean there's a chance? Well, that's the risk I want you to take. Are you willing to have a dumpling? I mean... They smell good, right?

Should I trust you? I don't know. They're cold. That's on you. Yeah, we had to order them like an hour ago. They're as cold as anything. Are you going to have a dumpling or not? Are you going to have a dumpling. They're cold. That's on you. Yeah, we had to order them like an hour ago. They're as cold as anything. Are you going to have a dumpling or not? Are you going to have a dumpling?

They're freezing. Are you going to have a dumpling? Are you going to have a dumpling? They're stuck. Oh, no. Anastasia, they've stuck to the bottom of the bucket. Oh, now the paper's come off on the bottom of them. Just rip it off and just...

Do you want me to have one? I mean, no, I actually don't want to pressure you. Because if anything bad happens, I don't want to be the person who pressured you. So, are you going to eat it? Are you going to eat one? I'll eat one if you have a bite at the same time. Okay, yeah, all right.

You passed me a dumpling as well. All right. They're very cold. I'm warning you. Here we go. Cheers. Cheers. Have they been cooked?

Did they cook this? They're so cold These are so cold Did you get these cooked by anyone? Oh, either The gag walls are from a restaurant across the road They're totally fine, so don't worry about it I don't think these have been cooked though

Hey, you know it's bloody hard for anyone who's trying to buy their first home at the moment.

Bloody hard, nearly impossible. Yeah, I know, I'm one of them. Yeah. Oh, well, I was one of them, I gave up. People getting outbidded options. I'm out of it. It's crazy, eh? I can't be stuff that nice. It's an insane process because you have to get your

heart set on something that the odds are set against you getting. But you have to go, okay, here's this building. I've decided that I want to shackle myself to it financially for the next 35 years. And I want to offer every single dollar that I've got to someone for this. All the money I've worked for my entire life, you can have it.

Yeah, and then they go, nah. This person's offering five grand more. Yeah, it's really hard. That's why I'm pleased and proud to offer an opportunity for an astute first home buyer to get on the property ladder, literally the property ladder, right here in Tamaki Makaurau, Auckland. Are you going to offer it? It's like a toilet or something. It's not a toilet. In fact, I'm not even sure it has a toilet.

Yeah, I bet. Up for auction is the original historic gun tower overlooking Mount Eden Prison in Auckland. Oh, my God. Built in 1914 during World War I by the Colonial Ammunition Company, the Mount Eden Shot Tower is up for sale. Why is it in amongst all those apartments? Because what they're not showing you is this tower tower is up for sale. Why is it in amongst all those apartments? Because what they're not showing you is this

tower overlooks the original Mount Eden prison. You know that Mount Eden prison that looks like a castle? Yeah. It looks at that. And this tower was for shooting people who tried to escape from the prison. I mean, does it have a kitchen? Don't know. They haven't uploaded any photos of the

inside. Oh, is there car parking? Well, it's like six stories up in the sky. Yeah, so is there an elevator? No, but like I said, you're on the property ladder because the only way to access it is by a big long ladder in the middle of it. You have to climb up there?

How am I meant to do one trip with my groceries out there? Backpack. No, I'm going to go one trip with my groceries out there? Backpack. No. Or pulley system. Do a pulley system from the top, clip your groceries on. Look, let's not focus on the negatives. Let's focus on the positives. Fantastic 360-degree views of the city.

Tick. That's good, yeah. Yeah, tick. Cons, quite rusty and old. Looks like it might fall over soon yeah that's not great pro heritage you know this is a heritage feature building

con I don't think you're actually allowed to do anything to it because I think it's like a it's like a piece of history kind of thing so no it's a pro yeah you can do some real freaky Rapunzel role play in there. Yeah, you can.

Yep. And being up that high, no one will hear you either. So if you're interested, I don't know, go to homes.co.nz. Go to One Roof. Go to One Roof. How much? Place a bid. No, it's price by negotiation.

Of course it is. You tell us how much you want to pay. All right. All right. I will. Best foot forward. Bree and Clint. Had a realisation last night. All right. I will. Best foot forward. Bree and Clint. I had a realisation last night.

Did you? Yeah. Came to your senses. An epiphany. Was it in the shower? Mine always happened in the shower. Could have been in the shower. Quite often sitting down in the shower, hungover.

Big epiphany. Right. Where I realised that I may or may not be the person who came up with Leshkol. Oh, big call. Yeah. Huge call. Yeah. And I had this realisation last night and you know what else?

I think I can prove it. Okay. I'm willing to hear you out. Yeah. Can I just say I'm a sceptic, but I'd love you to be right. I'd love to know the person who invented Leshkol. Leshkol is the variation of Lego, which of course means let's go. And by Urban Dictionary's stats, it came about in about 2016.

Which one did? Leshkol. Leshkol. Okay, cool. Apparently. That's what Urban Dictionary said. But I need you to call my mum right now. Mumma Di.

Because she is an integral part of my case that I'm trying to build here for Leshkol. Okay, well, if you are going to claim this, you're right. You are going to need star witnesses. Yeah. And I mean, my mum's known me my whole life and I feel like she can vouch for me. She was there when you were born. Well, she was, yeah. Hello?

Hi, Mum. Hi, Brianna. How are you going? Good. I'll make this quick. I need you to concentrate for a second because I've made a big claim on the show, which I don't know if it's true or not, but I feel like it could potentially be true.

And you don't need to know what the claim was. You don't need to know anything about that. All you need to do is answer a really simple question. Now, just to make sure that this is legit. Too much pressure, Brianna. Too much pressure. Have I told you anything about this phone call leading up to this moment? Absolutely not.

Do I need to remind you that you're under oath? And my mum doesn't lie. No, she doesn't. She really doesn't. No, she doesn't. Yep. Okay, perfect. So all you need to tell me, as a child, what were my very first words?

Just put it out there. Two words, and it's, let's go. Let's go! Yes. That's exactly right. Okay. No, no, no, no, no. We need some more details. We need some more details. Leshko. Okay. That's exactly right. Okay, no, no, no, no, we need some more details. We need some more details of why she's here. Mum.

What year was it? Well, when she could start speaking, so she would have been, what, 18 months old? Like 1991. 1991. Oh, my God. It passes. That's no BS. I have not teed it up. My first two words were Leshko. Oh, my God. It passes. That's no BS.

Have not teed it up. My first two words were Leshko. Leshko. Yep. You were a Kiwi icon before you even knew it. Whoa. This is big dog stuff. I can prove it.

I can actually take a photo of her baby book. Yeah. It's written in. Do it. Send it to us. We'll get that off to the Guinness Book of World Records. And the best thing

about all of this is my mum has no idea why this is such a big deal. No, right? She's never heard of the saying. Hey, mum. I thought that was you,

Brianna. To celebrate, can you give us a lesh goal like that? Lesh goal. That's all we need. Thanks, Mimidai. Have a great

weekend. Love you. Love you. Thank you, Big Geek Front. Yeah. Bree and Clint. We've just got back from a week

driving around the South Island, which was beautiful. It was delightful. It's an overused word when it comes to the South Island, but it is beautiful down in that area. It's duress. Bree and I came back on separate flights,

and after hearing what I've heard, I'm quite glad that I wasn't on board with you. Yeah, look, it was a bit of an awkward situation at airport security for me. Producer Anastasia was actually with me at the time. She looked concerned. So what happened was we were a little bit dusty on Saturday morning. We've gotten up and we've had something to eat

and we've kind of sprinted out to the airport, got there in time. And anyway, I've put my bag up onto airport security and I've taken out my laptop and I've done all the right things, you know, and taken my hat off and I was like, yep, good to go. And I never get stopped at airport security. Yeah. Like I'm someone who... You're a conscientious flyer.

Absolutely. Like I know what I'm doing usually because I don't want to hold up. You're a stickler for the rules. I'm a stickler for the rules, don't want to hold up. You're a stickler for the rules. I'm a stickler for the rules. Don't want to hold up the line. So as I was standing there, the airport security lady turns around and she goes, whose bag is this? And as I've turned around, I was like, oh no, that's my bag. I hate that feeling.

And I was like, what the hell? I was like, there's nothing in my bag that I should be pulled up on. In that moment, your brain starts racing and you go, could I have a knife in there? And I was be pulled up on. In that moment, your brain starts racing and you go, could I have a knife in there? And I was like, maybe I put a pocket knife in there. I don't know.

Could there be illicit drugs inside there? Is there a fire extinguisher in my bag? Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, you just start to think. Do I have a hand grenade? You start to think all these ridiculous things. And I was like, do I have a throwing star in there? No. Anyway, so she's come over and she looked quite concerned

and that's for real. Like she kind of was like really quite like looked confused and she was like, oh, do you mind? And she kind of talked to me like in this real serious tone. She was like, do you mind if I have a look inside your bag? Yeah. And I was like, oh, my God, this is serious. I was like, what's in there?

A deodorant can? I was like, sorry what's in there a deodorant can i was like sorry you can take my deodorant if you need to half a perfume but she looked like there was going to be a knife or something really bad in there and i was like okay now i'm quite worried anyway it was at that point she opens the bag and she starts to pull a few things out and there's headphones and there's you know receipts and just a bunch of crap that you have in your bag. Yeah. And she landed on this one thing and she slowly pulled out this thing and she looked at me and she goes, what is this?

And that thing was a tiny hand. It was a tiny plastic hand. This serves you right because the whole week that we were driving around Queenstown, you were waving at people with these stupid hands, which they look like child's hands and they've got little knobs on the end of them so you can hold them. So it looks like you've got tiny baby hands. I know.

And as we were passing people in the juicy camper van, you were waving to them and these people were like, what the f- They're hilarious and they're the best purchase I've made in a long time. But can you imagine what these would have looked like? They would not look like human hands. They would have looked like little like- You would look like you're smuggling human hands in your bag. Little child hands in my bag.

Because they're skin coloured. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Can you imagine looking on the x-ray? That looks like a hand. No wonder she was concerned. No wonder she was scared to open your bag. And I was like, all I could say was I was like, oh, my God, I'm so sorry. Nothing to worry about.

Those are just my tiny hands. And then I said, do you need a hand with that? I panicked. I panicked. And she goes to me, she looks at me and she goes, you know what? I thought I'd seen it all. And she had a little bit of a laugh about it. Oh, $800 at him this afternoon.

We want to know from you guys, what was in your bag when you went through security? Yeah, what did you forget about? What did you forget about? What did someone else put inside your bag? What did your mate chuck in your bag and they didn't tell you about? What did you get pulled up for at airport security? You can call us on 0800-DARLS-AT-HEM or you can text us on 9696.

There's going to be some bad ones, man. Brie will answer your call with her tiny, tiny hands. I will try and answer my call as best I can. Okay. Brie and Clint. I was very nearly reprimanded at an airport. Nearly banned from flying after she went through security with tiny childlike hands in her backpack.

And that sounds really weird, but then these novelty tiny hands where you stick them in your, like, sleeves and then they look like they're your hands. Where are they from? They're from just, like, a novelty website. And I've wanted some for so long, totally forgot they were in my backpack, and the lady pulls me up at airport security. She probably thought I had human hands in my bag.

Well, there you go. Dreams do come true. You've got them. And now you're getting what you deserve, to be honest. We're asking, what did you go through customs with and get busted for? Someone texts us and said our 12-year-old son's school backpack went through and he had a small baggie with white powder in the front pocket. Oh, no.

It was sherbet. Can you imagine that? They bring it out and they're like, oh front pocket. Oh, no. It was sherbet. Can you imagine that? They bring it out and they're like, ah, lo, ah, lo, ah, lo. What is this? What is this? Maddie's called up. Hi, Maddie.

Hi, Maddie. Hi, guys. How are you going? Good, thank you, mate. What did you get caught with at airport security? So last year, it was like my first time ever really flying long distance from here to Poland, but we needed to stop over in Dubai.

And I ended up getting pulled up, and there was maybe five people from security, everything, stopping me and saying that they found something in my bag, and I genuinely had no idea what it could be. But they said that they found, they thought they found marijuana. And being in a country over there, I started freaking out because I knew that there was no time.

Which would have made you look guilty as well. Yeah. And they were all speaking in a different language and everything. There was just a huge language barrier. But it ended up just being like a leaf. So it was just completely, yeah, so scary. Poor thing. You would have been so stressed out.

Yeah. And a lot of people are armed as well over there as well. It's really scary in other countries. I've been pulled aside in the States before, and just the fact that someone has a gun puts you really not at ease. Yeah, exactly. And you would have been thinking about what happened to Chappelle Corby, freeing her. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, you're like, if they found the weed,

what if they find all my cocaine? You're like... Yeah. That's terrible, Manny. We're glad you're good, exactly. If they found the weed, what if they find all my cocaine? That's terrible, Manny. We're glad you're fine. Someone texted through and they said, I forgot I had a ninja star in my wallet. I flew into Auckland with it and they said, I tried to get into

Invercargill. They don't stand for that kind of thing in Invercargill though. They never gave it back to me. Who has a ninja star in their wallet? You know what's so weird is in Queenstown when I got caught with my tiny hands in my bag, I saw a ninja star being confiscated from someone else. How common are ninja stars in 2020? A lot of superheroes out there these days. Hi Alex, what was in your bag at airport security? It was in my partner's bag.

It was a butcher's knife. Oh, no. Why? Was your partner a butcher? No, she's a rep, and it was in there from, yeah, when she was selling stuff. Oh.

And then I had to walk out of the airport with this butcher's knife. Yeah, right. And I bet everyone was looking at you. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Did they let you keep the knife? Yeah, yeah. She just gave everyone was looking at you. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Did they let you keep the knife? Yeah, yeah. She just gave it to me and was like, right, you better take it away.

New Zealand's so chill, eh? What airport was that? Christchurch. Yeah. They're like, go on, take it back to the car. Shout out Christchurch. How good is Christchurch? Put it in the club books.

Hey, this is your fourth and final warning, okay? We're not going to warn you. Okay, we'll warn you one more time. All right, one more time, one more time, one more time. Renee, hi. Hey. What was in your bag? What did airport security find? Um, so they found a bag of adult fun

toys, which is fine. I thought it was all good because I didn't want to lose them and put them in my checked-in luggage. So I just put them on my carry-on, not thinking that they would be scanned and there was one in particular which stood out. So they re-scanned it a few times. It was so embarrassing.

The doomsday device. Yeah. My husband took photos over his shoulder, like laughing his head off at me. And then she eventually pulled this one in particular out and lifted it up like baby Simba. No, no. Raised it up on Pride Rock.

Raised it up. She was like, here it is. And then she had to ask me what it was. And it was a steel wand, which is like, could be used as a weapon, I suppose, in their eyes. You're a wizard, Harry. And they're like, why do you have these handcuffs in here as well? Renee. She had to ask me what it was for.

And I had to like whisper like, oh, it's an adult fun toy. Couldn't she have done the math if there's, like, five others in there with it? She was so focused on this one shape in particular, which she probably didn't think it looked like that on the stand-up. So she was just pushing all the others aside, not even really taking notice of them. When you say a bag, maybe she just wanted one of those for herself.

Yeah, right. I highly recommend them. Great for a weekend away. You're a fun time, mate. That's good stuff. Very good. Bree and Clint. Hey.

It's my birthday. It's my birthday. Bree and Clint's Birthday Banger. All right, Birthday Banger for a Monday. Let's get you home. Three people's birthdays. What was number one on their 16th? We'll figure it out.

Are you and the girl identical? No, we're not. We're pretty different, actually. Is that possible that you could have a split egg and then one extra egg? There could be a split egg and then there could be another egg that gets fertilised. So there could be... Hey, this is three for one. We're about to give all three of you your birthday banger.

I hope they're listening, but yeah, who knows? You can tell them anyway. Let's hope it's a good one. If not, maybe just don't mention it to them. So what year, Phoebe? 97. All right. You guys were all 16 in 2013 on the 7th of December.

Ross Where you at? Let's go Producer Anastasia Had you ever heard that song before? It's from 1995 And I think you were born in 1997 Were you? Yeah had you ever heard that song before? It's from 1995. And I think you were born in 1997, were you? Yeah, I've heard that.

I like that song. I'd never heard the other one by T-Pain or Akon. You'd never heard Ayo Technology? Yeah, nah. That's by 50 Cent. Yeah. Not Akon. Are you serious?

No, I'd never heard that song. But the one before, what a tune. Someone texted her and they said, keep ignoring Ross Boss. That's the whole point of this segment. Clint, you're losing sight. Mate, I voted for it. I know, but you're a bit shaky.

Yeah, I know. I know, I know. We've got two weeks left. Yeah, but sometimes I just need to pull me back on track. Two weeks. You know? We can't stop now. What about the Anastasia,

the only 22-year-old in the country that knows Real McCoy but doesn't know 50 Cent? There are heaps of people that know Real McCoy, Ari. But not 50 Cent. Oh, he's got better songs. In fairness, that wasn't the biggest 50 Cent song. Exactly. That's the biggest Real McCoy one.

Yeah, it is. That's true. That's very true. You and I know the Real McCoy. Remember Yeah, it is. That's true. That's very true. You and I know the Real McCoy. Remember when we went to that concert? Yeah. Brie and Clint. It is the gifting season, folks. And for some people, that's twofold.

Like you, Brie. Oh, by the way, I'm getting you combined Christmas and birthday present this year. It's twice as big. No, like I will stab your tires if you give me a joint Christmas and birthday present. Damn, okay, no present for you then. No, I will stab multiple tyres on your car. Someone who is having a gifting dilemma is producer Ben. Hi, Ben.

G'day, guys. Yeah, a little bit of a dilemma in the old household. You don't want to buy anyone a gift, I think. Yeah, which is a shame for them. No, it's my partner Britt. Her birthday is on the 31st of December. So we're real close. Oh, New Year's Eve.

It's close. Hey, it's better than my birthday. At least you're with your group of friends and you're about to party. You're still on the up. Breeze is just after New Year's and everyone's on the down. Mine's on the way down.

Yeah, where everyone's like super hungover. Okay, New Year's, I imagine you're planning to spend it together. What's the dilemma? We're going on holiday. My dilemma is I would like to give her her birthday gift before we leave so she can decide if she would like to bring it on holiday or not. Because they're going on a plane, right?

You're going on a plane. We're going down to Christchurch. We're going around the South Island doing a few hikes and stuff. I don't want to bring it down with me. Okay. Ooh, okay. I'd like to give it now. Yeah. Early. I think it depends on the size of the gift.

Also, it depends on how you're framing it. You're saying you don't want to take it, but should you be saying, I want to give her the option to take it? Okay, so give her the option. Is it something she might want to use on the Christmas holiday? Yes, she might. Yeah, play her mind like a fiddle. Make her think it was her idea

for you to give her present girly. Anyway, back to Bree's point. How big is it? How big is the item? Like how big are we talking? How many kilos? The kilos doesn't matter.

It's just because it's big enough to annoy me to bring on as carry on. Okay. No, see you can't use that as an excuse.

You've got to stop focusing on yourself, man. It can't be about how annoying it is for you. If it was like a bedside table then then I'd be like, fair enough. But if it's like just slightly annoying for you to bring it, then you've got to suck it up. Is it too big for carry-on or is it annoying for carry-on?

It's annoying for carry-on. It can be. It can. You're in trouble. What are you doing on the holiday? Like what is the holiday? We're travelling around the South Island. You're travelling around the South Island?

By foot? No, by car. By donkey! It's not looking great for you at the moment. So your main reason for wanting to give the birthday present early, and by the way, how early? Birthday's on the 31st of December. What day are we talking?

Probably before we leave, So like the 23rd. Oh, so before Christmas. Before Christmas. We've already got each other Christmas gifts. It's part of the holiday. We've like paid for it ourselves and stuff. So we're not doing Christmas gifts. This is solely birthday.

I'll give you one tip. I want her to have the choice to bring it or not. I'll give you one tip. There he is. Don't you dare give her a birthday present on Christmas Day. No, I'm not going to do that. Okay, good. That's also a great idea.

I just don't want you to be broken up. Should I wrap her birthday present at Christmas? Don't wrap it in Christmas wrap so much, though. I just need to get the facts before we go out with this, okay? So you would like to give her her birthday present early so that you don't have to lug it around. She would like you to lug it around so that she can get it on her birthday. Yes, that is true.

Who are you siding with? 0800 dial ZM. Oh, sorry. You can't answer your own dilemma. We know what side you're on. Whose camp are you in? Are you in Producer Ben's team or are you in his partner Brit's team? What should he do?

Which side are you on Producer Ben's team or are you on his partner Britt's team? What should he do? Which side are you on? You can text us on 9696 or call us now. 0800 dials it in. Should she just be grateful to get the goddamn gift? Don't even start. Or should he suck it up and be a good boyfriend? Bree and Clint. Welcome to, is it a relationship counselling session?

No. It's not that debate, no. It's a gifting dilemma that involves producer Ben and his girlfriend. Yeah. I feel like, when's your birthday, Ben? March. Yeah, March. When's your birthday, Clint?

February. I feel like you guys should not have a say in this. Right. You don't know how it feels. Okay, all right. We won't say it. You know? I feel like I can probably comment.

Let me present the facts and then you can be the first to comment. Okay. I'm having a vote. Ben's girlfriend's birthday is on the 31st of December. Yeah. It's widely acknowledged that it's an unfortunate birthday. I have acknowledged it a lot on this show. Mine is on January 3rd.

We've had a few people text in, a few people angry at you, Clint. For? Saying that you're going to get me a joint Christmas and birthday present. Oh, but a real good one. A bit twice as good. They said as someone who shares Brie's birthday, I can agree with her that a shared Christmas birthday present sucks. We have to wait all year for both.

Yeah, and it's doubly good. So don't take one away from her. Also Christmas wrapping on a birthday present is the worst. Brett would like her birthday present on her birthday. Yeah. On her birthday, Ben and Brit will be travelling around the South Island a long way from home,

and Ben would not like the inconvenience of transporting the present all that way. Fair? Yeah, I'd like to give it to her before we leave so she can decide maybe if she'd like to bring Sid gift item on the trip. Well, it will be bought on the trip because you will be carrying it. Okay, that's what you're voting for? Look, I think as someone who also has a birthday literally, what, three days after her, we constantly get forgotten about,

get thrown in as joint presents. Oh, we'll give you to you early because I won't see you. But I'm thinking about it early. So I think you need to make her feel special, lug it down, give it to her on her birthday. Okay, thank you, Brie. No, wrap it before. Nicole, hi.

What do you think? Whose side are you on? I'm on Brett's side. Okay. Because? Because when it's your birthday, you on? I'm on Brett's side. Okay. Because? Because when it's your birthday, you want your actual birthday present on your birthday. And if it's one of the main presents...

It's that present. Yeah, it makes it better. Nicole, I guess this is an easy way. Producer Ben, what day did Brett, your girlfriend, give you your birthday present? That's a hard one. Was it on your birthday? It could have been.

Who knows? No, it definitely was. Heather it on your birthday? It could have been. Who knows? No, it definitely was. Heather, whose side are you on in this gift dilemma? I'm on Brett's because we have to wait all year for our birthdays. Give it to us on our birthdays. It's the one day a year that we actually get to be like, yay, look at me for a moment. Wait, Heather, is this Heather from Tauranga? Yeah.

I was already on the phone. Yeah, has the same birthday as me? Yes. I'm about to turn 30 and I'm really scared that no one's going to be able to do anything for my 30th because for one, I want to do something. Yeah. But if I'm too poor or I'm too hungover or I just can't be bothered, it's going to be like, well, thanks, it's my birthday.

You sound like me. Okay, it's looking good for you, Ben. Amy, hi. What's happening to Ben? Is he taking to prison or. Okay, it's looking good for you, Ben. Amy, hi. What's happening to Ben? Is he taking the prison? Or can he just give it to Brit early? Get it out of the way, you know? Don't take it on the trip.

Yeah, say give it to Brit. Early. Early. Yeah, early. Do it. Just do it. Amy, can I ask, when's your birthday? No.

Oh, not till June. Oh, funny that. Right in the middle of the year, away from Christmas. But people always confuse her birthday with Queen's birthday. Oh, funny that. Right in the middle of the year, away from Christmas. But people always confuse her birthday with Queen's birthday. Oh, the Queen thing. And they're like, this birthday's for you, this present's for you and the Queen. Yeah. Karen, what's happening?

Hi, Karen. I'm on Brickside. You only get one day a year. Christmas, everybody gets to share. But your birthday's your birthday, so suck it up, take it with you and give it to her on her birthday. I agree, Karen. For the chief censor out there, that was suck it up, take it with you and give it to her on her birthday. I agree, Karen. For the chief censor out there, that was suck it up, by the way. That was Karen saying suck it up.

And finally, Lucy, what's happening with Brit's birthday present? I think way into her actual birthday. Lucy, when's your birthday? January the 30th. Oh, okay. Yeah, you're kind of close as well. Do you ever get joint presents? Wait, January 30th doesn't count. Yeah, it kind of counts. Well, if January 30th counts, then February the 1st, my birthday counts. Oh, okay. Yeah, you're kind of close as well. Do you ever get joint presents? Wait, January 30th doesn't count.

Yeah, it kind of counts. Well, if January 30th counts, then February 1st, my birthday counts. Oh, shush. You don't count. Bree and Clint. The world's most swiped man on Tinder has shared some dating tips. Big, big claim to fame, eh? Most swiped man.

How does he know that? Did Tinder give you a badge? You know when you like a page and they go, you've been recognised as a top fan. Does Tinder come on and they go, yo, Stefan, you're the most liked man on Tinder. Because no man should be given that much credit. It will go straight to his head. You know?

Yeah. Well, it obviously has. He's already put it on his Facebook and his social media. Stefan Perry Tomlin is a very attractive man who receives 40 matches on Tinder per day. 40 matches. Yeah, it's a few. Quite a few, yeah.

Well, you're not that impressed by that number, but you've got to remember, it can only match if he swiped yes as well. So he's got to be out there swiping yes to, oh my God, does that mean he's swiping yes to 40 people a day as well? That's not that many. This guy's hacked the game. Like, to swipe yes on 40 people a day is not that many. Oh, well, I guess to swipe yes on 40 people, no, yeah.

But if you've got to engage with everybody that you've matched with, 40 romantic conversations a day is a lot. You don't have to, though. But why did you bother matching with them if you weren't going to talk to them? You really lived in a time which didn't have Tinder, eh? I've never Tindered. Anyway, there's some advice for him, for aspiring Tinderers. Yeah, what does he say?

He said the only two bits of advice, have a bit of character in your bio. That's what he said. Yeah, that's very smart. Don't ever leave your bio blank. Yeah. And be up for a laugh. He said there's no point looking good in photos if you're bland to talk to. We want the bants.

People want banter. Bree is a Tinder aficionado. She may be in a relationship, but Tinder is her passion. No, I like to have fun on other people's Tinder where I zhuzh their Tinders up. Because you're in a relationship. Yeah, but it's fun.

And it's fun to dip your toe back into the water and see if any fish are biting. It's fun to help people. I like, well, trying to help people. I want your top three Tinder tips. I've got more. You've got more? What do you want top three? Give me your Tinder advice. I want your top three Tinder tips. I've got more. You've got more? What do you want top three?

Give me your Tinder advice. Give me your best advice. Well, my first bit of advice is about photos. So this is all about photos. Don't ever have your first photo as a photo with more than one person in it. Yeah. It's annoying. People don't want to guess which one you are.

Joel, our black thunder driver on tour, showed us his Tinder. His first picture was him and a mate sitting next to each other and they were both as prominent as each other. You don't know which one? His second photo was him holding a dead fish. So based on other photos, don't put gym photos up. No gym photos.

It's a bit obnoxious What if you're hot AF though? So Alright I'm just trying to tell you From a girl's perspective If you put a big muscly gym photo Or a photo of you posing

With a shirt on Wait are these photos only Are these tips only for guys? These are for guys mainly Okay alright Oh but Ken I don't really know for girls But I'm saying

This is what girls are looking for They're not looking for big muscly Shirts or photos Good because I don't have any It says a lot about you Go for the more humble ones You're like a present They want to unwrap you

Humble yourself in your photos Also no big bender photos No bender photos No they don't want to see that No shoeies No photos of you holding a pal whatsoever No No bender photos. No, they don't want to see that. No, that's not. No shoeies. Yeah. No. In fact, no photos of you holding a pal whatsoever. No.

No. Okay, cool. Another good tip, I think, don't use your opening message with just, hey. Okay, what should you write in the opening message? It's boring. It shows that you don't really care. You're not putting in effort. This is your opportunity to make a statement,

to have a witty opening line. So put in a little bit of effort. Okay, I've got it, I've got it. Was your father a thief? Because he stole the stars out of the sky and put them in your eyes. Maybe you should just say, hey. Okay, cool. Less is more.

Less is more. Yeah, cool. And my number one tip for guys making a Tinder profile, always. Always. Always. Always. And my number one tip for guys making a Tinder profile, always. Always. Always. Always. Have a photo of you with a cute animal.

Oh, okay. I'm telling you. Girls will go nuts. And maybe a hot check to make them jealous. Yeah. No, don't do that. Oh, right. Okay, cool.
