You got me begging, you got me begging
I might delete Facebook, I don't think there's any point in having Facebook anymore
Why?
I don't know, Messenger, maybe
I just think Facebook's dead now
Why do you think Facebook's dead? Can you not say that? I have quite a big Facebook following
Yeah, so does this show
Yeah, I was going to say, so does this show
Ellie's whole job revolves around making videos to put on our Facebook page
And Instagram.
So can you shut the fuck up?
Yeah, you're going to lose my job.
I say we get rid of TikTok.
No.
Can't deal with that fucking platform.
Bigger social media platform.
You have been on it.
Nah, I hate it.
I've never used it.
Listen to this.
You ready?
Yeah.
How many views has the latest video got that you posted an hour ago?
It's got a few.
Tell us.
It has got currently, oh, not as many as I thought.
Tell it.
Very good.
34,000.
Nice.
That's not bad.
That's very good.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I don't want to talk.
What did you post?
It's because, so this morning, this is actually a pretty good story.
So I parked illegally last night because we went to that dinner i could not
be effed to drive you know way away so i was like whatever i'm gonna park illegally and i'll just get
up early in the morning and move my car yeah forgot about that nice um so walked down to my
car at like 11 o'clock yeah and as i was walking there i saw a tow truck and I was like, oh, no. And then I saw a ticket inspector.
Oh, my God.
And I was like, oh, no, here we go.
It's definitely going to be my car.
No bullshit.
It was two cars behind mine.
And he was working his way up to mine.
Oh, shit.
So I've jumped in the car and I was like, yeah, eat a dick.
Not today.
And then, yeah, anyway, got in the car and I was like, yeah, eat a dick. Yeah, you are. Not today, motherfucker.
Like, kind of like this.
And then, yeah, anyway, got in my car and drove off.
And then now, guess what all the messages on TikTok are?
Did you video this, did you?
Saying like.
Yes, here's what I videoed. That's parked illegally.
Oh, yeah.
And there's the ticket inspector right there.
But not today, motherfucker.
Eat a dick.
Oh, look, they're towing people. Oh, but I just put this on TikTok and people are now saying
that they take a picture of your rego and they send you the ticket in the mail.
Yes, you might do it anyway.
Oh, no.
So calm as a bitch.
Oh, shit. But to be honest, I've never gotten a ticket in the mail so you might go in anyway oh no so calm as a bitch oh shit but to be honest i've never
gotten a ticket in the mail i've always gotten them on my windscreen oh yeah yeah yeah so yeah
i've had a ticket in the mail but that was because i was in the wrong lane and they're like here's a
photo of you here's a ticket you should have been in the lane and i was like no i wasn't and they
sent back a photo they're like here's you in the car in the wrong lane i was like no yeah you've
got me there nice Nice try, bro.
Have you ever gotten pictures like that of yourself?
I got one of me speeding.
And it's like this just from behind.
It's just a photo of my car.
Oh, so he couldn't see you?
Nah, couldn't see me.
Nah, just my car.
One of my friends one time in Aussie,
they take pictures sometimes of the front of your car.
And depending on where the speed camera is situated.
And he goes, look at this bloody picture of me getting a speeding ticket.
And so it was a picture of him and you could clearly see he was eating.
I think it looked like a bacon and egg McMuffin to me.
And he could barely see and he was like scoffing this bacon and egg McMuffin.
And he goes, well, clearly I wasn't concentrating.
No, it's just eating.
That's so funny.
That's like when Clint got that ticket, we were at our Christmas work do,
and we were all walking towards the pub or something.
That's right.
And he started getting a ticket, and then he ran back to try and fix it.
When he got the photo in the mail, we were all in the background
walking behind it, the whole ZM team.
How random, that exact moment.
Yeah.
Would you guys, because in Aussie, this has happened to a few of my friends
actually, if you get done like on a speed camera,
you can say someone else is driving if you don't have any points left
or anything.
Oh, can you?
Can you do that here?
Well, actually, I don't know if you're allowed to do it.
I don't think you're allowed to do that.
I don't know if you can get it in one of those. That is true though. But how would, actually, I don't know if you're allowed to do it. I don't think you're allowed to do that. I don't know if you can get in one of those.
That is true, though.
How do they know?
They don't know who was driving.
True.
You know what I mean?
That would be hard if you said that and then they sent the photo back and it's me in the front seat.
It's clearly me.
You're like, my sister has a mustache.
Don't be so fucking rude.
How do you?
Anyway, guys, what was your favourite thing on the podcast today?
I think what was your basic, what's the basic life skill you don't know how to do?
It was quite good.
And guess what?
You're in luck because it's first.
Oh, yes, right now.
You don't have to listen to all the other crap.
Yay.
You can just hear it straight away.
Also, if you're playing along with Secret Sound,
Soundkeeper Gary gave us the first clue.
He did.
It's not in the podcast.
It's not in the podcast.
Well, I can give it to you now,
which most people probably aren't playing the Secret Sound.
They might be.
Gary gave the clue, and it was,
the sound is at Gary's work.
There you go.
I don't feel much closer to a guess, in my opinion.
I have no idea what it is Nah neither
I felt like last season the clues really did not
No
Help
Especially the earlier ones
I was like I don't
Yeah crap clues Gary
That's BS mate
Come on
Come on Barra
Come on mate
Dumb as Gary
On that note
Here's the podcast
Enjoy
Hey Google
What's the time?
It's 3 p.m.
Give or take a minute.
Alexa, play Zedim on iHeartRadio.
Playing Zedim on iHeartRadio.
Hey, Siri, Winnebree and Clint on.
Brie and Clint are on air in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
Hello, guys.
Good afternoon.
Happy Wednesday.
You're halfway there.
Well, pretty much.
You've got a couple of hours to go.
Pretty much like if you're 40 in life.
You're halfway there.
That's gross.
Probably not a good way to start the show.
No.
It is bringing Clint Clint's away.
The producer's in giving me a hand.
Clint is back tomorrow, apparently.
Yeah.
Yeah, he has come down with a nasty, nasty cold, he said.
No.
Well, that's what his doctor's certificate says.
Yeah, right, yeah, yeah.
I think he's on holiday.
I have reason to believe he's in San Francisco.
Me too.
I saw some photos.
Yeah, he should be posting on Instagram when he's calling in sick for work.
I told him not to do that, you know.
It's just a bad idea.
The Secret Sound, if you're hanging out to have a guess of The Secret Sound,
we are doing that at 4 o'clock and 5 o'clock today.
Soundkeeper Gary will be in.
We've got plenty of stuff to win on the show today too.
Speaking of things, we've got a KFC prize pack including merch and vouchers.
If you want to get your hands on one of those little numbers,
you can text us right now, KFC, to 9696,
and it's all to celebrate the party they're having in the Mount this Saturday.
KFC, they're putting on a little party.
Clint's going to be there.
Is he always away these days?
What's going on?
Hard to book that, man.
He's very hard to get onto.
He's got a baby, apparently.
Have you seen it?
Never met her.
Have you seen it?
No, I haven't met this so-called baby.
No, yeah, if you want that KFC prize pack, you can text us right now, KFC to 9696.
But what are we starting the show with?
Oh, that's right.
The Local Boys, Sons of Zion.
Let's kick off the show and get into it.
This is Come Home.
The Local Boys on ZM with Bree and Clint.
Bree and Clint.
Something I wanted to discuss with you guys because I felt a bit,
I guess, on the spot last night because I was having a chat
with a few people and we were talking about,
I guess you'd call them basic life
skills. Basic life adult skills. Stuff you should know how to do if you're a grown adult
and you've gone through puberty and you know the life stages. An adult, if you're a proper
adult. Because we were talking about, I guess, tying shoelaces.
And something I, and I'm about to really be vulnerable here,
but something I've never mastered as an adult or as a child, anytime,
is tying my shoelaces the way most people tie their shoelaces.
Oh, so you just tie them in a different way. But you still know how to tie your shoelaces the way most people tie their shoelaces. Oh, so you just tie them in a different way.
But you still know how to tie your shoelaces.
Yeah, but people always have a go at me because apparently I do it the child way.
The child way?
What's the child way?
I know the child way.
Do you like make the loops before you tie them around?
Loop, loop.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's what kids do.
And then you tie the two loops together.
Yes, yeah.
Whereas most adults go loop around the weight producer pin.
I don't know why I do that.
Oh, my gosh.
Do you do that too?
I don't know.
Who are you people?
It's like you tie it and then you make the two loops
and then you tie the loops together.
Yeah.
That's how I do it.
Wait.
Okay, we're going to get to the bottom of this in a second
because we're going to test it.
But you don't tie your shoelaces like that.
No, I go normal.
I go one loop at a time basically.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Wait.
What? I don't know, yeah, yeah. Wait. What?
I don't know how to do it.
Wait.
Or do you go loop, bunny around?
Because that's the way I'm pretty sure.
Here we go.
I've got my shorts.
I've got that.
Yeah, that's normal.
I go loop.
Pull that around like that.
Yeah, you do it the adult couple way.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I thought so.
Yeah, I do it the child way, 100%.
I think I do it.
I definitely do it the child way.
And everyone was making fun of me.
And then one of my friends goes, you leave her alone.
I don't know how to tell the time on an analog clock.
Oh, no.
Oh, wow.
Oh, yeah.
What do you mean?
I can see why some people could be.
Oh, yeah.
If you're not looking at it, like, you're going to sometimes,
people have to think.
I wouldn't give them that much grief.
Even you know how to tell the time on an analog clock.
But I've met a few people that just actually can't do it.
They just can't, like, figure it out.
And then I was thinking about our old mate Clint,
who's obviously helping his mum move house.
He can't tell he's left and right.
I know.
It's amazing.
Even when he's driving.
I'm actually worried for him.
Same.
That's when I found out. Yeah. It's when he was driving, and he's driving with both hands on the for him. Same. That's when I found out.
Yeah.
That's when he was driving and he's driving with both hands on the steering wheel.
I was like, all right, mate, just leave there.
And he takes both his hands off the steering wheel and puts them up to show which one is
the L. And I get that there's a part of the brain that-
He's actually dangerous to drive with.
I'm not even going to lie.
I don't know how he got his license.
I know.
Like, I'm being full legit.
No, I know.
Like, how did you get your license?
Yes.
Speaking of driving, parallel parking. A lot of people as adults, no idea.
No, you nailed one last night, by the way, Brie.
Yeah, it is one of my secret talents.
Yeah, I was a witness.
It's on my resume.
But I wanted to ask people listening, make us feel a little bit better,
is there an adult basic life skill that you actually have never been able
to master?
Yeah, right.
Maybe it's something in the kitchen.
Oh, yes.
Oh, yeah, okay.
Maybe it's something to do with driving.
Maybe it's just an everyday basic life skill.
Yeah.
Producer Ellie can do everything so she can't give it a name.
We want to know yours on 0800DIALZM.
What's your basic adult life skill you haven't been able to master?
Or you can text us on 9696.
What is the basic life adult skill that you haven't been able to master?
We're having a conversation in here where apparently quite a few,
Producer Ben, you and I haven't been able to master.
But we were talking about the simple tasks that everyone learns
when you're probably six or seven of tying your shoelaces.
When you go to primary school, yeah.
And I'm pretty sure you and I both tie our shoelaces the child way.
Yeah.
Okay, so I'm going to –
You tell me what that is.
Ready?
I'll show you and you tell me if you tie your shoelaces this way
and I'll pretty much try and describe it.
Producer Ellie, ready? This is how I tie your shoelaces this way and I'll pretty much try and describe it. Producer Ellie, ready?
This is how I tie my shoelaces.
Okay.
I go obviously round, round and I do...
Yeah, the little tie.
The normal tie.
Yeah.
And then I go one loop, two loops
and then I connect the two loops together
and pull it through like that.
Right.
Why does everyone look like I'm an absolute alien or something?
You've done two completely separate loops.
Two loops and then I connect the two loops and tie the two loops together.
I feel like it's more fiddly like that.
Yeah, there's definitely more time.
Maybe.
Don't confuse me.
I've been doing it that way my whole life.
Fair enough.
But you said, Producer Ellie, I remember you said you can't whistle.
Oh, dang.
She's got me on one.
I can't whistle. You can't whistle she's got me on one. I can't whistle.
You can't whistle, eh?
No, like, no.
Nah, I can't do it.
Yeah, no, that was good.
That was good, eh?
That was so good, yeah.
But we've asked you guys to call up on 0800DIALZM
with what basic life adult skill you can't do.
Let's go to Delwyn first.
Hi.
Hey, honey, how are you?
Good, how are you?
Not too bad. Love your show. Oh, you? Good. How are you? Not too bad.
Love your show.
Oh, thanks so much.
That's really nice of you.
Are you calling up to admit a basic life skill that you can't master?
Yep.
Left and right.
Cannot do it to save my life or my children's,
but luckily they tell me if I'm driving in a car, your way, my way.
So you're telling me you rely on your kids to tell you left and right.
No, no, no.
By the time I figure it out, we've gone
past where we need to go.
They believe you don't go
left or right with mum. You say your way, my way
because I'm the driver. That's my way
which is right. Yay.
Otherwise we're screwed.
So yeah, your way,
my way. It works and if
my friends give me directions, they know it's
your way, my way. My son sits in the car and goes
Everyone knows that. Everybody knows that
if they don't know that, they haven't been driving with me before
What if you're not driving, how do you know?
I still tell them your way, my way
They know that it's
their way, my way. It's not left and right
it's your way, my way
That's good to know. You know how they say put your finger up and do the
L for the, I say okay
which one looks like L to you?
And they go, if they're looking at me, of course they're going to say the left hand or the right hand.
And I'm going to go, well, that's what I mean.
I'm so bad.
How are you?
Oh, Lord.
Hey, this is good to know because Clint struggles also.
So maybe we can.
It doesn't work.
I saw someone posted a Facebook page and it had gloves with left and right on them.
Oh, yes, I saw that.
I do one of these and I'm like, yes, your way, my way.
It works.
We appreciate you calling through.
Thanks, mate.
What about you, Esprit?
What's the basic life skill that you can't do?
Yeah, so it's actually my sister, but she can't cook rice at all.
Oh, this is hard.
Yeah.
Get a rice cooker.
That's how you master it.
Yeah.
No, she tried using a rice cooker as well.
She couldn't use that either.
Oh.
Is she a monster?
Who can't cook rice in a rice cooker?
Yeah, I'm quite concerned for her also.
It's like when people can't boil an egg.
It's like one of the most basic cooking skills that you can have.
Oh, no, she can't do that either.
Well, that doesn't surprise me, Esprit, if she can't cook the rice.
And to be honest, I always have to cook my mum.
I always have to cook my mum.
I always call my mum and I say, how long do you boil an egg for?
Every time.
Yes, I have to Google it every time as well.
Every time.
Yeah.
All right, well, no butter chicken in Esprit's family
for the next couple of years.
What about Kushia?
Kushla.
Kushla.
Yes. Kushla. Yes.
Kushla, what basic life skill can't you do?
I just can't figure out how the seasons work.
I know it's summer and then it's just cold.
It is just cold.
I love this one.
Wait a minute.
So do you know which season goes first and, like,
what order they go in?
I just know around Christmas time it's summer-ish and that's it.
Kushla, wait, wait.
What about, like, Easter time?
Do you know what season it would be around Easter?
No.
Not as hot as Christmas?
Yes.
You've got it nice.
Kushla, are you all right?
It's time for the latest.
From iHeartRadio.
This is the latest live from LA with Dean McCarthy.
Let's cross live now to Dean McCarthy.
And this is really interesting to me because, I mean,
we all played the Tony Hawk skateboarding games growing up, surely.
Dean, did you play those games?
No.
Producer Ellie, Producer Ben, you know the games I'm talking about.
Yeah, I played it for you.
Dean, we'll pretend like you know the games, okay?
We'll just pretend.
But everyone remembers the Tony Hawk games and he actually spoke out
on a podcast, didn't he, Dean?
He did.
So here's the thing.
You would not believe how much money is in these games.
In fact, we all need new careers.
Go to gaming school or whatever they call it.
Because Tony Stark has actually –
Tony –
Tony –
I just called him Tony Stark.
He's just Tony Hawk.
I have butchered this story.
This is why they pay me the big bucks.
But here's the thing, right?
So look, Tony Hawk has revealed in an interview on a podcast
just how much money is in these games
and how much he got paid for the latest one.
Check this out.
We'll give you this.
Okay.
When the fourth game was released,
my main contact at Activision asked to have lunch with me in LA
when I was there one day.
And he's like, here's what's happening.
We're releasing the fourth game.
The last three are still in the top 10 of sales.
One is going into classics mode,
which means they sell at a certain price, but way more volume.
Things are way bigger than you ever thought.
He handed me a check for $4 million.
Oh!
That happened.
That is ridiculous.
Far out.
Whoa.
Doesn't surprise me, though.
They were one of the most popular games on PlayStation,
and I mean the other consoles.
Dean, what would a game about your life be?
Well, they already have it.
It's called Barbie, Fold and Funhouse.
And basically...
See, now, that's a game.
I definitely agree.
Little house.
Dean, you're an absolute gem.
Thanks so much for joining us.
I love you.
Crack up.
Bye, guys.
The latest was brought to you by KFC.
KFC is a proud sponsor of Surf Lifesaving New Zealand.
Bree and Clint.
As we cross live, actually actually to Clint himself, we're
pretty sure he's in Bora Bora
but we can
ask him. Hello mate.
Kia ora.
I don't know what they say
in Bora Bora. I don't know, you've been
there for the last week or so. How is it?
Bora Bora.
God, I can't keep up with where I am
according to this show.
You know,
it's good.
I'm in an airport toilet,
so that's why it's a bit echoey
at the moment.
And I'm about to board a flight
to come home
because I miss you guys.
I'm keen to get back,
you know?
And also,
the work trip ran out,
so you have to come back.
Yeah,
that too.
Yeah,
the hotel kicked me out
with the last flight. But yeah, we've got to do it, guys. We've got to come. Hey, that too. Yeah, the hotel kicked me out the last flight.
But yeah, we've
got to do it, guys.
We've got to come.
Hey, how many
bum candles have
you sold?
Look, as obviously
we're a team, you
and I, we would
not start to sell
these bum candles
without you here.
So we've held
off.
I'm actually going
to check later in
the show today.
We're going to
call a bunch of
places that sell
candles and just see if any of them are selling candles like that or if we're going to be
the first in the market.
Yeah, good idea. You want to know where you're positioned. I've had a really good marketing
idea too because today I've been, obviously I'm not actually in Bora Bora, I'm in San
Francisco and they did the big Samsung unpacked
event where they show off the brand new Samsung
phone. Yes, I've seen on your Instagram.
Yeah, I'm
thinking we do the same thing for the bum candle
and we invite
the world media to be there
and we have a big event and there's like a big
white stage and then you walk out and you go
this candle
smells like my bum.
Yeah, I like that.
And it goes global, yeah.
I'm thinking we could get Nicki Minaj to get on board and she could do a performance of
Anaconda.
Yeah, that's a good idea.
There's a lot of bum action in that song.
Yeah, I was going to say the anaconda's around the other side to the bum, but yeah, yeah,
no, I know what you mean
Have we considered any influence
for marketing? Like have we considered sending
one of these out to like
Art Green and Matilda
See that's good
That's why we need you back
We need you back
But to be honest with the amount of interest
we've had online I don't think we're going to
even need to market this thing.
It markets itself.
Yeah, right.
It's truly viral.
That's what we're hoping.
Yeah.
But it's the perfect candle to give to someone on Valentine's Day
when you've got nothing to give them.
Oh, I didn't get my wife anything while I was over here.
That's all right.
So if I could get one of those for Valentine's Day,
that'd be a great idea.
We've got a bum candle, and if I know your wife,
she'll love it.
She's going to look at my Instagram story,
and she's going to see that I've been at a Samsung event
playing with a new foldable phone and the new S20 and that.
She'll go, oh, cool, maybe Clint got me a phone.
No, got you a bum candle.
Well, you better have got her a phone,
or don't bother coming home.
Oh, look at that.
Got to go.
Time's up.
Sorry, guys.
Got to go.
All right.
Have fun in the really swanky airport lounge in San Fran because we know you're flying
business class.
No, I'm not.
See you.
Bye.
See you later.
There he is, Clint live from San Francisco.
He'll be back tomorrow hopefully unless he stops past Bora Bora.
Bree and Clint.
And I'm glad you guys are here.
And, look, we talk about flatmates a lot on this show
because I feel like everyone goes through the struggle at some point
in their life where they just want to take a flatmate and just
throw them out the window.
Yep.
Yep.
I feel that.
That's true.
A hundred percent true.
I've had good ones, but can I say, I've also had really great flatmates too.
Me too.
The ones at the moment, no comment.
No, they are good.
No, they are some of the best flatmates I've ever had.
But you saw an article, was it in the Herald?
I saw an article in Stuff Actually today just around flat politics
and why is it so hard to share a fridge with everyone?
That's probably one of the really, I guess, nitty gritty things in a flat,
don't you think?
It's a little bit tricky.
What shelf do you put it on?
Are you putting leftovers in?
All that kind of stuff.
This article, anyway, breaks down four things.
The four things that are the hardest to deal with.
So wait, these are the four different types of...
People that you might come across.
Or renters or flatmates.
Okay, give them to me.
Number one, the person who hogs the space with meal prepping.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Because obviously they're putting a lot of food in at one time in containers.
They take up probably more room than what a person
not meal prepping would.
Yeah, so that's number one.
Number two is the person or flatmate who lets their food
go off in the fridge.
Okay.
Yeah, we all know those people.
And I have done that many times, to be honest.
I suppose most annoyed with those people,
that's definitely me.
Oh, right.
Yeah, right.
Number three is the person who steals everyone else's food
from the fridge. Oh, yeah. You reckon that happened to me a lot when I was living Number three is the person who steals everyone else's food.
Oh.
You reckon that happened to me a lot when I was living in a lot younger flat. Same.
But as I've gotten older, I don't think it happens as much.
Yeah, university, it was horrific.
Yeah, because no one has any money.
Yeah, exactly.
You just grab what's in there.
You're like, well, that's food.
Yeah, that's mine now.
And the final one.
Who is the most annoying person to share the flat with?
Flat fridge with, sorry.
The person who fills the fridge with beer.
No, I'd have to disagree.
I love that person.
I'll have that person in my flat any day.
Can I say when you were talking about this,
the one thing I think that really grinds my gears the most
in terms of sharing a fridge with people
is where people, instead of using like a Tupperware container,
they'll use all of the bowls or the plates and then they glad wrap them
and then they put them all in the fridge and then by the time
it comes around to cook anything, you're like,
I've got no bowls to eat out of.
Yeah, yeah.
Because Sally is using every bloody bowl for her leftover pasta
or butter chicken
and it's in the fridge. So you have to eat her
meal just to get to the bowl. Yeah, and I'm like
Sally, well what do you expect me to do?
You know, I had to eat off something and your
meal happened to be in it. Yeah, so what do we think
is the worst?
I would say the person who steals food. I think that's
the worst. Yeah, that's pretty bad.
Or people that let their food go off, that's pretty bad.
Yeah, it's quite inconsiderate, isn't it?
Yeah, very inconsiderate.
Actually, we've got some secret
audio recorded here.
Let's go to the secret audio.
My flatmate is producer Ellie and she always
leaves food in the fridge for so long
that it expires. She's currently got
a turmeric yogurt in there that's been in there since
the end of November. Ellie, get a turmeric
yogurt out of the fridge.
That was just randomly sent in to us. I don't even drink turmeric yogurt in there that's been in there since the end of November. Ellie, get a turmeric yogurt out of the fridge. That was just randomly sent in to us.
I don't even drink turmeric yogurt.
What is that?
Leo doesn't lie, mate.
Yeah, turmeric yogurt in the fridge since November.
To be honest, I'm such a big culprit of that.
Really?
Yeah, I've definitely left my fair share of things.
Yeah, same.
She actually wasn't lying in that audio.
I don't eat shimmer at Yoruba.
Who said it was a she?
It could be one of your –
I know.
It could be your boyfriend.
I know who that was.
We want to know from you guys.
We want this to be a bit of a venting session for, you know,
if you've got one of these flatmates that does something,
bad fridge etiquette, what is your flatmate's doing?
0800 dial ZM or you can text us on 9696.
Dob them in this afternoon.
We'll all have a bit of a venting session together.
Look, you know, we all have flattered with people before
and we've all wanted to pretty much strangle flatmates before.
Yeah, some of them, 100%.
You don't get along with everyone and everyone has different ideas
about different etiquettes for different things
and the fridge is always a big one for people.
Yeah, sharing it.
Who's putting what in?
What shelf are you on?
Who's two-week-old carbonara is this?
My flatmate that I currently live at,
I've told this story on the show before,
Iron Gut Annabelle we call her,
because she ended up tucking into a two-week-old carbonara that I'd left in the fridge.
She was completely fine.
It surely would go off by then, right?
I don't know.
It had chicken in it.
It had bacon in it.
And she goes, this is delicious.
And I was like, okay.
I also had this flatmate that I used to live with in college
and I always used to buy Coke Zero.
Oh, yeah. And I loved Coke Zero. And someone always used to buy Coke Zero. Oh, yeah.
And I loved Coke Zero and someone was continuously drinking my Coke Zero
so I got the shit.
So I decided to fill my Coke Zero with balsamic vinegar
and then it never got taken again because obviously they realised
that I knew.
Yeah.
But we're asking you this afternoon on 0800DIALZM,
what is the annoying fridge etiquette that your flatmate does?
Let's go to Phoebe.
Hi, Phoebe.
Hi.
What's the annoying things that your flatmates does with the fridge?
Okay, so our one, they kind of leave, say, like a sauce a little bit open
and then they'll tip it over, like by accident, but then it will run into our shelves
that are under their shelves.
Oh, no.
There's actually a similar text here, and it says,
they say, my flatmate who I happen to be married to
always spills things, including the milk, Coke, sauces,
and you could turn the fridge upside down
and nothing would fall out because it's all glued to the shelves.
It sounds similar to your flatmate, Phoebe.
Oh, for sure.
They just don't clean it.
And, like, it gets all hard and crusty and then we have to clean it.
Yeah, not ideal.
There's a few other people.
Not ideal.
Not ideal.
Thanks for calling through.
Yeah, that's all good.
And good luck with that whole situation of the sticky fridge.
Yeah, just put, just put, just say, just clean up straight.
Why do people make...
What are you like, Ben?
What would you say is your worst habit in terms of fridge etiquette?
My personal habit?
Yeah.
Like come clean?
Yeah, I'm looking at the ones here.
I don't know.
Maybe the person that leaves lots of beer in the fridge.
Oh, heaven forbid. Oh, no. What a bad person. That's horrible. No, I don't... I've got at the ones here. I don't know. Maybe the person that leaves lots of beer in the fridge. Oh, heaven forbid.
Oh, no.
What a bad person.
That's horrible.
No, I've got a pretty clean fridge.
Our flat, we run a pretty clean business.
And that's what your other flatmates would say?
Yeah.
All right.
Well, let's cross live now to one of Ben's flatmates.
Bree and Clint.
This is one for the Hot Wheels fans, actually.
Which, I mean, that's probably more like of a 90s kid kind of collectible.
But, yeah, it was big back in the 90s and the early 2000s.
And I don't know exactly how many Hot Wheels cars there is.
I remember I had a few as a kid.
I had those things where you could put them on the track and they'd fire off.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Stuff like that.
But there's an article that's been released about the rarest Hot Wheels car ever.
Oh, yeah.
They actually believe that it's the only one of its kind in existence.
Really?
There's literally one.
Why only one?
Apparently it was made as a prototype.
Oh, yeah.
And they never ended up making them.
So it literally is the only one that exists.
Well, when did they make that?
Was it like years ago?
Years and years and years ago.
Anyway, there's a guy called Joel McGee who is a massive Hot Wheels collector.
And he didn't realise at the time that he actually owns this car.
And he didn't realise how rare it was.
But it's actually the custom Chevy Camaro.
And it's white.
It's white with a black top.
Okay.
And he owns the only one in existence,
which I'm not exactly sure how much the real car goes for if you buy it.
But this car, the Hot Wheels one, the tiny one,
is expected to fetch as much as $150,000.
Oh, my gosh.
Whoa.
Isn't that crazy?
So the little toy car is worth more than the real one.
Yeah.
Who's paying for that much and why do they need it?
Why is it so real?
I get there's one of them, but who's...
I know, I know, I know.
It's when there's not many of them.
What are you doing with them now?
What do you mean?
They're collecting them.
Do you collect anything?
No.
No. You don't collect anything? No. No.
You don't collect anything?
No, nothing.
Nothing at all.
Do you, Bree?
Do I collect stuff?
Yeah.
I mean, do shoes count?
Yeah.
Bree and Clint.
We thought, you know, Valentine's Day is coming up very soon.
It's on Friday and whether you want to celebrate it or you don't,
it is a holiday that kind of exists, I guess.
Yeah.
And we thought it'd be fun to bring back a segment,
special edition for Valentine's Day of Buzzy G.
Buzzy G.
Oh, my favourite. Yeah, Ellie's personal favourite.
Just pretty much where, you know, we talk about buzzy facts.
Yeah.
And this time it's got a theme.
Exactly.
Do you want to kick it off, Ellie?
Because you're obviously running this segment.
Okay.
Yeah, I'll kick off the buzzy G-Facts for today.
Everyone sit down and enjoy this.
So Valentine's Day related buzzy G-Facts.
Did you guys know that no one really knows where the heart shape came from?
Have you thought about that? You where the heart shape came from.
Have you thought about that?
You know the heart shape we all draw?
Shape?
Yeah, but where did it come from? Kind of.
Does it kind of come from like what our actual human heart looks like?
Yes, that's what we all think.
Like there's two kind of parts.
That is a good guess.
No, I like that.
That makes sense.
I think that's the right guess.
Now, apparently there's one theory that apparently it came from an ancient African city state of Cyrene,
and they used to have this plant called sylphium, and it was used to season food and actually used as a contraceptive.
So because it was related to sex, apparently the seeds look like little hearts that we know and know well today.
So people theorise that that's where the heart came from, but who knows?
No, I think mine makes more sense. Okay, no, it's just a heart.
Buzzy G. Yeah, that's weird.
Here's a fact for you guys.
Did you know that
15% of
American women
will send themselves flowers
on Valentine's Day?
Really? 15%.
That's interesting and buzzy.
Very buzzy.
Buzzy G.
Like,
do you think
they pretend
that someone else
has sent them?
That's what I'm thinking
about.
I reckon too.
That's a bit strategic,
isn't it?
Isn't it?
Right.
Maybe I should do that
for Friday.
Yeah,
do it.
Buzzy G.
Mine's a little bit
similar to Ellie's.
It's another shape kind of thing.
Many believe the X symbol, like the kiss symbol,
started in medieval times
because people couldn't write their name signed in front of a witness
without an X.
And then the X was just then kissed to show their signature at the end of it.
So you couldn't sign your name unless there was a witness.
So you just put an X as your signature?
Yeah, because you couldn't sign it unless there was a witness there.
And most of the times there wasn't, so there's just a lot of Xs.
Oh.
So like sincerely, X.
X.
Instead of your name.
That's buzzy, Jay.
Buzzy, Jay.
I just wonder where the Xs came from.
Yeah.
To be honest.
I never did, to be honest.
Never really thought about it that much.
What else you got? Oh, to be honest. Never really thought about it that much. What else you got?
Oh, another one here.
Did you know that Juliet, as in Juliet from Romeo and Juliet,
she still gets love letters sent to her on Valentine's Day?
Yeah, I did know this.
Did you know that?
Yeah.
She gets heaps, right?
Yeah, over 1,000 letters each year.
And that was like hundreds of years ago that she was written about.
How do people know where she lives and where they're sending her to?
That's a great question, Ben.
And that's why it's love.
Buzzy G.
Exactly.
What about this one?
Physicians in the 1800s apparently told their patients to eat chocolate
in order to calm their pining for lost love.
Oh.
We all kind of do that now, don't we?
Pretty much.
Yeah.
And that's why it's...
Buzzy G.
Nice.
I mean, I just eat it 24-7.
Yeah.
It's time for a little game of Nickname Origins.
Simple game, Producer Ben, that we launched at the start of the year
where you guys call us up, you tell us what your nickname is,
and then pretty much we have to try and guess
where did that nickname come from.
What's the origin of it?
How did you get it?
Yeah.
I've actually gotten some right.
You've had a fantastic run.
Yeah.
When we planned at the start of this year, we were like,
this is the game, Brie had the idea, and I was like,
this is fantastic, and Brie's like, it's going to be impossible. We'll never get it. I swear Br year, we were like, this is the game. Bree had the idea. And I was like, this is fantastic.
And Bree's like, it's going to be impossible.
I swear, Bree has got at least, I want to say one at least a day.
I think one every time we play.
Which is very unusual.
Good luck if you're listening.
All right.
The best nickname origin is going to win some mobile fuel.
Let's kick it off with Amanda.
Hi, Amanda.
Hi.
How are you guys?
Good.
How are you?
Good, thank you.
That's good.
All right.
First up, tell us what your nickname is.
Okay, so most of my old schoolmates know me as Mungrel.
Mungrel, okay.
Mungrel.
Mungrel.
I reckon maybe she was a bit feisty back in the day.
Yeah, okay.
Or maybe she...
I reckon she got into a big...
I was going to say a big brawl maybe.
Maybe she won or maybe she had a dog named mongrel.
Or maybe she had a mongrel dog.
Maybe she had a stray dog as a kid.
Okay, a stray dog.
Did she bring the stray dog to school?
To school maybe.
Because she had school friends.
Maybe she found the stray dog at school and she called it mongrel because it was.
That's it.
Okay.
That's it.
What are we going to go with?
Definitely the dog one. The dog story. I'm going to go with you found a stray dog and it was a That's it. Okay. That's it. What are we going to go with? Definitely the dog one. The dog story.
I'm going to go with you found a stray dog
and it was a mongrel.
Is that right?
No, sorry.
I'm shocked.
And I'm not a fighter, so it wasn't a brawl.
What was it then, Amanda?
I used to work in hospitality and on my
nights off I used to get quite drunk
and dance in the club.
And I got nicknamed Mungrel by the staff.
Really?
I would never have guessed that.
So basically it's Mungrel Drunk.
Oh.
How Kiwi of you, Amanda.
Thank you.
Okay.
Okay, let's go to Caleb.
Hi, Caleb.
Hi, how are you?
Good.
What's your nickname, Caleb?
Caleb Redoodle. Caleb Redoodle. Okay, how are you? Good. What's your nickname, Caleb? Caleb Redoodle.
Caleb Redoodle.
Okay, let's talk this through.
Okay, Caleb Redoodle.
Caleb Redoodle.
Maybe he's obsessed with labradoodles.
No, maybe he's got really curly hair like a labradoodle.
Maybe he's blonde, got curly hair like a labradoodle.
I think that's it.
Yeah, that does feel right.
I think that might be it.
Caleb, do you have blonde curly hair?
No, but I've got long curly toes.
Oh, that's close.
Right, you must, why don't they call you E.T. then?
E.T., that would be a good one actually.
Okay, I like that one.
That's interesting.
Oh, we wouldn't have got that.
No, I never would have got that.
Let's finish it off with Joseph.
Hi, Joe.
Hey, guys.
What's your nickname, Joseph?
Mr. Fish.
What?
Mr. Fish.
Did you say Mr. Fish?
Mr. Fish.
Okay, let's talk this through.
He either is massively obsessed with fish and chips.
Oh, yep.
Not unusual in New Zealand.
Maybe he's a really keen, avid fisherman. Mr. Fish. Yeah, yep. Not unusual in New Zealand. Maybe he's a really keen avid fisherman.
Mr. Fish.
Yep, yep, yep, yep.
Maybe he's a really...
Oh, I know.
Maybe he's a really keen fisherman and he always has fishy fingers.
Yeah, or he loves fish.
He's one of those people that brings fish for lunch to work.
What if he eats tuna every day for lunch?
That's what I'm saying.
Or he's a Filet-O-Fish man from McDonald's.
That's disgusting, so I hope not.
I'm going to say... Yeah, okay, go.
Joe,
do you love a Filet-O-Fish
at McDonald's? Absolutely
not. Damn it!
Thank goodness. What's the reason?
Well, I was working and
one of the older ladies called me Joe Fish
and that was fine.
Then one of the guys I didn't like tried to call me it
and I told him he had to call me Mr. Fish and it just sort of stuck.
I was never going to get any of those.
No, not even close.
All right, now we have to make a decision.
What was Amanda's?
Yeah, what was Amanda's?
Amanda's was the, oh, no, I can't remember.
I remember Mr. Fish.
That's a bit of fun.
Yeah, well, that's the one we just did.
Yeah, I know.
The Labrapoodle one.
Labrapoodle.
Yeah.
What was Amanda's?
Ellie, what was Amanda's?
Do you remember Amanda's, Ellie?
No.
Mungrel.
Oh, Mungrel.
And she was called Mungrel because what?
We're just going to get the worst memory today.
I just like that nickname.
Let's give it to Amanda.
You want Amanda?
Yeah.
Amanda. Yeah. Amanda.
Here.
Or should I say mongrel?
We're hooking you up with some mobile fuel.
Yeah, thanks, guys.
That's right.
She was a keen dancer on the Lemonades.
That's right.
Bree and Clint.
Interesting event you and I went to last night, producer Ellie.
It was actually awesome.
We went to the launch of
Robinson's EP which is out
on Friday. It's called
Watching You and
it was just really cool to sit down and we were
talking about the music and what she
writes, what the new songs
are about and
that's one of my favourite questions.
Clint hates when I ask
musicians that question.
But why do they write the music?
No, no, no.
I always ask the question, who is that song about
or what's the song about?
And Clint's always like, stop asking that boring question.
I'm like, I really like to know.
I want to know.
Yeah, because I find it quite interesting.
Anyway, Robinson was talking about, you know,
how most of the songs are about love and heartbreak.
And then she started telling us some stories about, you know, how most of the songs are about love and heartbreak. And then she started telling us some stories about, you know, when she has been cheated on before.
And then we all started talking about, you know, pretty much, you know, horrible things that have happened to us.
And we got on the topic of revenge.
Yeah.
It turned a corner.
Yeah, that's gone dark.
It definitely went dark.
And Producer Ben, it was a bunch of ladies
and we all started talking about our revenge stories.
Oh, God.
And there was quite a few interesting ones.
And I'm pretty sure I've told this story before,
but I've got a couple of revenge stories.
You doing the revenging?
I think I actually really enjoy getting some revenge.
I know that's not the best quality to have,
but at least I'm honest.
At least I'm honest.
I'm passionate.
That's all you can really say.
Don't mess with me.
No, I remember it was actually not even to do with me,
but one of my friends, she'd been dating this guy
and he had cheated on her and we had found out about it and pretty much it was with one
of our really good friends or it was one of her best friends
and we found out about this.
Anyway, we decided that we were going to go over to his house
and slash his tires.
Oh, nice.
Yeah, very original.
I like it.
We said that.
We were never going to actually do it.
Like we drove around to his house and her car was there
and that riled us up even more.
Oh, yeah, right.
And I said to her, I was like, look,
we're not going to actually slash a guy's tire.
Like that's a bit crazy.
Yeah.
And like just a little bit.
So what we decided to do was we took –
We took –
This is so lame we took the tire caps off all the tires
and we were like yeah we sure showed him we're like how inconvenient is that gonna be for you
tomorrow it's like a slow slash yeah like an one. I don't think it would do anything.
Yeah, seriously.
It would probably do barely anything.
It would be annoying though.
I would find that annoying.
But it felt bloody good.
Yeah, it would.
It did feel good.
I don't condone it at all.
And I do regret it.
Not really.
But it was definitely, I'd call that revenge.
Yeah, that's definitely revenge.
You've gone out of your way to be like, I don't like what you did.
I'm going to do something back.
Surely revenge. And then I've also told you guys way to be like, I don't like what you did. I'm going to do something bad. Surely revenge.
And then I've also told you guys that story about the time I thought this person was cheating on me.
Yeah.
And me and my friend drove around.
A lot of driving around to people's houses.
You've got a trend, mate.
You've got a trend.
Yeah, drove around to the house and we ended up catching them on the driveway hooking up with someone else.
And my friend was like, drive, drive, and as we were like rolling past,
my friend had a big icy Slurpee and pegs it out the window
and nails this person right in the back of the legs.
And that was revenge served cold because it was an icy drink.
Yeah, yeah.
But it was quite good.
But I wanted to know from people listening on 0800
dials at M, have you
ever been in one of these situations?
Nothing illegal. I don't want
illegal stuff. No. No slashing
tyres. That's a bad idea. You've just told one, but that's
fine. No, we didn't. No, we just took the
caps off the tyres. It's all good.
I want to know if you ever got revenge.
What was the situation?
Why did you feel like you had to get revenge?
Yeah.
Did you serve it up cold?
0800-DIAL-ZM and you can text us on 9696.
We'll take your calls next.
Bree and Clint.
The texts are really coming in fierce on this one, Producer Ben.
Yeah.
Because we're asking this afternoon, how did you get revenge?
How we got so good. I was having dinner last night and we got on the topic because we're asking this afternoon, how did you get revenge?
I was having dinner last night and we got on the topic and we started sharing the stories and I shared a story
where my friend and I went around to her ex-boyfriend's house
because he'd been cheating on her with one of our good mates.
She was like, yeah, we're going to slash his tyres.
And I was like, you're crazy.
And also Bree's like, yes, yes, yes.
Yeah, and I was like, I've never done it before.
Anyway, so we rolled over there and we were like,
no, we're not going to do that.
That's crazy.
So we ended up taking just all the little caps off the tyres.
Oh, the tyre where you put the pressure in.
Yeah, well, we thought the air would come out,
but apparently someone on the text machine has said
that just keeps the dust out of the valves.
I've got most of mine off my car currently.
Oh, revenge.
That's sweet revenge.
But we've asked you guys on 0800DIALZM, how did you get revenge?
Amy, what happened to you?
Okay, so it was a really long time ago, no judgement.
Not at all.
Did you hear my story?
My friend was dating this guy and we thought, well,
she thought that he was, like, doing the dirty.
So I said, we're at my house and it's like,
we've got to do something about this.
I'm not putting up with this.
So then he...
Wait, wait, Amy, did you guys know for sure
or you just had an inkling?
No, no idea.
I had no idea. I'm just no no idea i'm just a sheep so we're gonna we're
gonna do something what are we gonna do it's like oh the only thing i had in my fridge was some milk
that was kind of going off perfect so i grabbed that and we wandered up the road because he only
lived just up the road and we ended up putting that in like the air conditioning grates of his car
and it was like me yeah come on that's you know what on the text machine it's a very common theme
a lot of people are putting stuff in the air conditioning don't do that it's horrible so
what happened in the end so they ended up getting getting back together, and every time he put on his air con,
he kept saying,
oh, God, it smells so rotten,
and I don't know what's going on.
Yep, you sure showed him, Amy.
And then she had to deal with it for the next six months.
I love it.
Thanks for calling through.
Kieran, what happened to you?
Did you get revenge on someone?
No, it was actually my friend,
and this is also going back like about 20 years ago.
Her boyfriend at the time,
she found out he was cheating on her,
and he was overseas for work for two or three weeks,
and she went into his apartment,
this high-rise apartment in Auckland, put grass seed all in his apartment
on the floor and turned the fire hydrant on.
And so when he came back, there was grass growing in his apartment.
I have heard of this before.
So pretty much he could play a 20-20 in his apartment. I have heard of this before. So pretty much he could play a 2020 in his lounge room.
Kieran, I think that classifies as revenge.
Thanks for calling through.
There's some really good texts coming through.
A lot of people who say they caught people cheating.
This one says, my sister got cheated on,
so I decided I would spit in his soda stream syrups
and i opened his hard drive drawer and cut all of the wires then they said whoops
and then this one someone else has texted through how they get revenge they said my
friend's husband cheated on her and she found out so she cut all of the buttons off his dress shirts.
That's so pity.
No, it's good.
I like that.
That's perfect.
Let's take one more call.
Ruth, how did you get revenge?
Who was it on?
All right, so it was on my church.
Whoa, Ruth.
This is hectic, I can tell.
I'm going straight to hell, mate.
What happened?
So I was raised in a really conservative Christian family,
and I went to church twice every Sunday and all that.
Yes.
And so naturally when I came out as gay, they were devastated,
and so was the church.
Of course.
Yeah, so they harassed me for months,
and finally they sent a letter saying that if you don't repent of your ways, we're going to excommunicate you.
Oh, well, that really sucks, Ruth.
I'm hoping this has got a really punchy ending from you.
It sure does.
So in response to that, me and my, she's my wife now, we took an enormous gay pride flag.
We wrote the Bible verse that they kept on quoting,
something about love, you know?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And we got really drunk.
And in the middle of the night,
I think it was 2 a.m. or something,
we took it to the church.
And out in front of the church,
they've got an enormous cross.
And so we hung our enormous pride flag on their enormous cross.
You hung your flag high, Ruth.
I like that.
And you know what they say, Ruth?
If you get revenge together, you stay together.
I love that, Ruth.
Thanks for calling through.
That's great.
That's so good.
Doesn't it make you feel good?
It made me feel good.
I was like, this is not good.
Revenge stories.
No, I like it.
You know, I mean, they didn't hurt anyone.
No.
They just, you know, flew their flag.
Bree and Clint.
Hey.
It's my birthday.
It's my birthday.
Bree and Clint's birthday banger.
All right, this is where we take your birthdays
and we figure out what was top of the charts on your 16th.
Let's kick it off with you, Clara.
Hello.
Hi.
What's your birthday, Clara?

Duffy, Mercy for your birthday banger
on a Wednesday with ZM's Brian Clint.
What do you reckon that song's about?
Don't know.
Have no idea.
Do you ever think about that?
I haven't thought about that one, no.
She's sorry for something.
She's done something bad.
You got me begging
Maybe.
Maybe she got revenge.
We were speaking about revenge before.
I just wanted to read out this one text that came
through late because we were talking about how do you get
revenge. And someone
actually wrote through and they said, I know
a woman who fed laxatives to
her husband every time
he went to visit his mistress.
The affair didn't last long.
That's hot.
You got it coming. I just picture the dumb and dumber He went to visit his mistress. The affair didn't last long. That's hot, yeah.
Yeah, well, you know.
You got it coming.
I just picture the Dumb and Dumber scenes every time someone mentions laxatives.
Same. And it's not a good time.
I've never seen those movies.
Is it three of them?
Dumb Dumber and Dumbers or what is it?
The first one's the only one you need to see.
That's the only one you need to see.
It's classic.
Brie and Clint.
Clint still away, which means me and the producers will play.
And that's what we've been doing for the last couple of days.
Come up with this idea at the start of the week because I thought,
you know, Valentine's Day is coming up.
Not everyone, you know, it's not special for everyone.
And sometimes you don't know what to get for Valentine's Day.
So obviously, you know, we've all heard about the candle
that Gwyneth Paltrow released a couple of weeks ago.
It's a candle.
Yeah.
And it's called This Smells Like My Vagina.
Did it as a joke,
but the candle's absolutely sold its tits off, hasn't it?
Yeah.
It's gone absolutely bananas.
People love the idea.
And I thought, you know, why not come up with our own version
and then we can give it away
on the show for people to potentially
maybe give it away for Valentine's Day
or maybe you just want one of our limited
edition candles. Yeah.
So we have been doing a thing on our Instagram
for the past couple of days where we've been
running polls about different ideas
we've had for candles.
What are some of the options we've had, Ellie?
We've had this smells like my sweaty armpit.
Yeah, which is, I mean, you know, not for everyone,
but could be for you.
We had this smells like my feet.
Yeah, good.
We had this smells like my gooch.
Yep.
It was a popular one.
It was a popular one.
And we've also got this smells like my bum.
Yes.
Currently the final poll is up on our Instagram at Bree and
Clint if you want to get involved. Yeah, it's between gooch and bum. So that's charming. If
you've just tuned in now, don't even ask, to be honest. But we will be making one of these candles.
So if you want to have your say, but I did think, you know, obviously it's important when you're
putting a product out into the market, you need to check that no one else around here is selling these candles.
You want to be the only one in the market.
Exactly.
That's when you know it's going to do well.
So earlier today, we called a bunch of places that sell candles to ask them, are they selling
the Gwyneth Paltrow vagina candle?
I was wondering if you could help me out
with potentially finding a product
for me. What's the item?
It's a candle. Okay.
What type of candle are you after?
It's the particular
type of candle. I think
it's vanilla, but it's in a black
container.
And it's actually
was really popular about two weeks ago.
Do you know the name by any chance?
It is the candle by Gwyneth Paltrow.
Hang on one moment, please.
Do you know any candle made by Gwyneth Paltrow?
Yeah, a customer said it's made by Gwyneth Paltrow,
and it's a black candle, and that's the only thing I can see.
Okay.
I don't know candles very well.
Yeah, that's just a check.
Have a look at it.
Are you there?
Yeah.
We don't have anything like that at all.
No?
Oh, well.
No, sorry.
Hi there.
I was after a particular type of candle.
What type of candle are you looking for?
I was looking for the Gwyneth Paltrow candle, please.
Sorry, what?
The Gwyneth Paltrow candle.
It's called This Candle Smells Like My Vagina.
Actually, sorry, my mistake.
It's called This Smells Like My Vagina.
I can't find any.
It's in a black container and then it's got a white label.
Okay.
And it says This Smells Like My V my vagina on the front of it.
No, I can't see any black ones here.
Sorry.
That's okay.
Thanks so much for your time.
Good afternoon, Newmarket Weehouse.
How can I help?
Hi there.
I was wondering if you could tell me if a particular type of candle was in stock.
Yes.
Do you have the item number?
I don't and I'm not even sure if you guys have
or stock the
particular type of candle that I'm after
but it's the candle
that Gwyneth Paltrow released
a couple of weeks ago?
No, we don't have that. No.
Okay. Do you know the candle that
I'm talking about? Yes.
Okay, cool. The vagina candle. Yes.
Yeah, right. I've been looking for it everywhere.
No one has it.
You can try and make one.
That is a great idea.
Why not?
I mean, she's done it.
Why can't I do it?
That's a great suggestion.
Thank you for your time.
All good.
Bye-bye.
Thanks, mate.
Bye.
See, he even knows that you should make your own.
What a great suggestion.
Bree and Clint.
What is coming up is obviously Valentine's Day on Friday.
The most important day in Bree's calendar.
No, it definitely is not.
But people, you know, love to go all out for Valentine's Day,
but I feel like, you know, you need to think about the single people as well.
Yep.
And also people going through breakups.
They don't want to think about it.
Exactly.
Valentine's Day sucks.
Yeah.
It does.
And I came across this article on the Herald, actually,
that talked about what are the worst destinations to book a holiday
if you've just gone through a breakup.
Your ex-partner's hometown.
Well, yeah, that's not ideal.
No.
Well, let's hope you probably live in the same city as your ex.
Yep.
Well, maybe not when you break up, but it's quite interesting the reasons why they talk
about these destinations are probably some of the worst places to go if you've just had
a breakup.
I'm going to give you guys them and then you tell me why you think.
Okay.
Oh, yeah, great.
That's a bad destination.
Okay, go.
All right, so the first one they say, worst breakup destinations is Las Vegas.
I feel like that would be a great place to be.
I reckon because you'd spend too much money on betting and gambling.
You're irrational.
Yeah, I reckon you're like.
You're emotional.
Yeah, you're just like, you know what?
Why not?
I'm just going to put all my savings on red.
Yeah, you're not good at betting when you've just gone through an emotional trauma.
They say that apparently it's actually a really lonely place, Vegas, or it can be.
But yeah, apparently they say it can be quite sad because a lot of couples are in Vegas.
Oh, they're already there.
A lot of couples kicking around Vegas, having a few bits.
Yeah.
So they say that's a bad destination.
This one I think is pretty self-explanatory.
Paris is a bad breakup.
I was going to say.
City of love.
Yeah.
Yeah, city of love.
That's where, you know, people are PDA-ing.
They are, aren't they?
Everywhere.
Picnicking in front of the Eiffel Tower.
Yeah.
Taking ridiculous photos.
Yeah. Probably, photos. Yeah.
Probably, you know, obviously laying on top of each other.
Probably doing inappropriate stuff.
No, they're not.
Not at the Eiffel Tower.
Yes.
You know what I'm talking about.
Yeah, I do.
And they're not.
Yeah, the DH.
Okay.
Where's the other place?
One word's called dry.
You know what the other word is.
That place is bad.
They also said Hawaiian resorts.
Oh, yeah. Is it just a lot of honeymoons that happen there? what the other word is. That place is bad. They also said Hawaiian resorts.
Oh, yeah.
Is it just a lot of honeymoons that happen there?
Apparently, yes. Yeah, right.
Very big.
Oh, she's got it.
I've got one.
Wedding and honeymoon destination.
Yeah.
It's just teeming with couples and celebrations.
Yeah, right.
All the stuff you probably don't want to see when you've just had a break.
No.
So they say, yeah, steer clear of the Hawaiian resorts.
This place I really want to go to, Santorini in Greece.
Oh, yeah, that'd be nice.
A lot of engagements there.
Am I right on saying that?
Yes, apparently.
Are you right?
Seriously?
Well, they actually said it's super big for Instagram,
so there's a lot of couples who love to take a lot of, like,
Instagrammable pictures and stuff there.
And they say it's really romantic, which I do picture Greece is quite romantic.
Do you?
I don't know why.
Donkeys just do it for me.
Yeah.
Not like that.
But you get on a donkey and you head up the hill.
Like how romantic.
They also said remote islands like Fiji, Bora Bora, the Maldives.
Yeah, same with the honeymoons.
Who wants to go there by yourself?
No, exactly.
You don't want to go there on your own, do you?
No.
And the last place they said bad place to go after a breakup is Venice.
Really?
Yeah.
I would have said Bali.
Why Bali? I don't know, lots of couples
go in there and they're the fresh couples that you know.
Trust me, I've been to Bali
and it's a very
good place to be single.
Bree and Clint.
You actually brought to my attention
a story about a guy who
had one of the most epic essay
fails ever. Yeah, and I, to be
honest, I'm still not sure at this point
whether it was on purpose or not.
But this teacher in the UK who teaches English,
he's posted some of the essay on his Twitter account, basically.
The essay was supposed to be about Tom from The Great Gatsby.
Have you guys seen that, read that?
No.
I've seen the movie.
I don't remember Tom.
Yeah, no.
I've seen Leo in the movie.
Yeah, yeah, that's all I know.
He could be Tom.
He could be. I don't know. Anyway, there no. We've seen Leo in the movie. Yeah, yeah, that's all I know. He could be Tom. Yeah, maybe.
I don't know.
Anyway, there's a character in The Great Gatsby called Tom.
And this person has written an entire essay instead of that Tom.
He's written about what exactly does Tom want with Jerry,
as in Tom and Jerry, the Looney Tunes characters.
See, I kind of find that more interesting, to be honest.
I do too.
Why does Tom have such a problem with Jerry?
Exactly.
What is the whole gag there?
Like, why does he hate him?
But the guy actually...
I think it's because one's a cat and one's a mouse, to be honest.
That actually makes total sense, doesn't it?
Yeah, it's pretty simple.
What if she won?
Yeah.
Did I win?
No, the Tom and Jerry essay, though,
he's actually still kind of gone and marked it.
Like, he's actually gone and put little things in that he's done wrong.
So he hasn't just gone, this is wrong. He's actually still marked it all and marked it. Like he's actually gone and put little things in that he's done wrong. So he hasn't just gone, this is wrong.
He's actually still marked it all.
It says at the top, this was supposed to be about Tom from The Great Gatsby.
The book we are reading.
Yeah, it's a bit of a fail, isn't it?
I feel like this might have been on purpose maybe.
Surely he's taken this.
Yeah, surely.
Yeah, yeah.
He says, in the Looney Tunes cinematic universe,
many of the cartoon nemesis have a very clear goal.
While E.Code, he actually spelt that wrong, wants to eat the Roadrunner.
So he's actually talking about a whole lot of other Looney Tunes characters
in this.
It's just a nightmare really of an essay.
I actually don't mind the concept of that essay, to be honest.
It's not bad.
When I was at uni, I actually –
I feel like you might have done something like this.
I never did anything like that.
I mean, I just failed because my essays were terrible.
But I remember one time I was so stressed out about finishing
this stupid essay.
I can't even remember what it was about.
But I came home really...
Tired.
Tired from drinking too many lemonades one time.
Yeah, nice.
Had too many lemonades.
Came home and I decided that I would finish the conclusion
when I was on the lemonades.
Yeah, was it good? And I feel like at the time I thought, God, I've absolutely nailed this.
You've nailed it, yeah.
This is what I need to do from now on.
And I remember I submitted it online and it was through this program
that you had to put it through or whatever.
Yeah.
And the next day the tutor that had marked it actually emailed me
and he's like, I'm pretty sure you were intoxicated
when you wrote this for me.
