The podcast starts now. We were just having a conversation off air, and one of the producers involved in this too. If you were going to be, like, if you were a make of car,

what would you be? Like, what's the car that perfectly suits your personality trait? I've told Bree that she's a Kia Sportage. I don't even know what car that is. Because she's a bit sporty. That's cool. But also accessible, you know? It's a compliment.

Well, Clint's a Great Wall Ute. No, you're only saying Great Wall because I said that as a joke. No, that's what you are. Think of your own insult. You think you're handy and masculine, but you're just a bit average. Alright. That's insulting to me and the

Great Wall Ute. Producer Ben? Yeah. I think he is what he is. What he drives. I think he's a second-hand Subaru Impreza. Yeah, I'll tell you that. You know? It's a good car.

It's a great car. Is he that good? He's a bit, no, yeah, he's a bit beat up. Yeah, there's a lot of things. But he loves going off-road. You love going off-road? Love off-road journeys. I was thinking more like, you know, like a smaller car.

Oh, yeah. Because, I mean, Ben's not the tallest guy I've ever met. And he's also very nimble. The Subaru Impreza is the smaller of the Subaru station wagons. It's smaller than a Subaru Legacy. A station wagon is not small, period. It is a station wagon. It is a station wagon.

I don't know what that means. It's definitely a wagon. Okay, cool. You can sleep in it. That's what it means. I can definitely say I've done that. Yeah. I reckon it'd be more like a Toyota Echo. Do you guys done that Yeah Yeah I'm going to be more like Like a Toyota Echo

Do you guys have those? Because I was going to Yeah Toyota Echo They were fun They had the Pied Piper ad Where the Where the He led all the other

Small cars off the cliff Zippy Yeah I was going to say Ellie was a Toyota You're just You're literally just saying Whatever car people drive

No but I think She's perfectly matched To her car That's why But Toyota You didn't let me finish You didn't let me finish Toyota Signature class literally just saying whatever car people drive. No, but I think she's perfectly matched to her car. That's why. But Toyota, you didn't let me finish. You didn't let me finish. Toyota, signature class.

So not new. Ellie's a Toyota Camry. Oh, okay. Thanks, bro. Like, let's be real. Like, for your age, you act a little bit older. Do I? Yeah.

You're an airport taxi. Literally before you've said, you'd be like, oh, nah, not going out this weekend. And I thought when I first met you, I was like, oh yeah, she's not keen to go out. No, that's just you. You love a night in.

Are you 26? I do actually. I'm 27. 27. Loves a night in. Loves a cup of tea. But Sam, we've known Ellie for about two and a half years

There's this There's this period of Ellie that she talks about fondly Where she was absolutely Like a BMW M5 Racing around doing all kinds of freaky shit But when did it happen When did you age so drastically From an M5 to a Toyota Camry

It does happen every now and then I've seen glimmers of it where you and I have spent time together outside of work where I'll be like, who's this version? I'm just tired, alright? That's a challenge for you listening and if you are listening with someone

that you know and love, tell them what sort of car they are, okay? And see if they get as insulted as we did. I was going to say, it's a really good conversation to bring people together. Why are they both what they drive and I'm not a Mitsubishi? Fine.

I'm a Mitsubishi Lancer boy racer. You're an imported Mitsubishi Lancer with mags and a spoiler. Technically. But not a powerful engine. Oh, thank God it's not the old car you're on the minute. My toilet would disagree. No, I am imported, so that's true. Yeah.

We want to know how much your haircut costs. I'll tell you why, okay? I found what I think might be the most expensive hairdresser. It's definitely the most expensive I've found. My mum does some really good home hairdressing haircuts, if anyone's interested. Does she have the perming kit? She does.

Yeah, right. She puts that cap on and then pulls the hair through. Does she have one of those heat lamp things? She does. Does she? Yeah. Okay. Well, going by this story,

it might be time for your mum to put her rate up, is all I'll say. I'll let you know how much, what I think is the world's most expensive haircut costs after Arizona Zorovars ZM This is an expensive haircut story I am

I'm gripped Well you should be because you're in desperate need of a haircut Can I say and this might be going out on a limb guys don't understand an expensive haircut. No, I don't think we do either. But this story will give us some perspective. Let me give you some perspective on Bree.

She hasn't had a haircut for three years. I can't afford it. You can't afford it? Actually, to be honest, I've got a really good hairdresser who's asked me to come get a haircut for ages. And why haven't you gone? Sorry, Lisa Marie, I will get to you very soon. Okay. No, I had a haircut for ages. And why haven't you gone? Sorry, Lisa Marie. I will get to you very soon.

Okay. No, I had a haircut. How much do your haircuts cost? Is it just the haircut? Yeah, no colour. No colour. No, just a chop. Style cut, yeah, 100.

100 bucks for a woman's haircut. 100, 120. Oh, it depends how long your hair is and how much they're cutting. Like for me, that is literally not even two centimetres off. So if you're getting an actual style cut, it'd be more than that. You look at producer Ben who's just had a lovely haircut today. He's had a two fade up with a side part.

A lot of work gone in there. There's different lengths. There's textures. Your guy's haircut they just cut the bottom off. They just go straight along the bottom and just cut the bottom off. No, you're uneducated. That's not what happens. Isn't it? No. Because you want it long. No. You want it long and you don't want little

flyaway bits. Even if you have it long, it's still style-cutted. You can't just cut across the bottom and go, done! Well, you said we don't understand it and you're correct. There's a lady called Jane Matthews who is a, she's becoming a celebrity hairstylist. Okay.

Not because she does celebrity's hair. What's? Because she's becoming the celebrity herself. Oh, she's the celebrity. She has thousands of followers on Instagram. She invented something called the organic haircut. What's the organic haircut? Instead of using scissors, she uses a straight razor blade

and she carves the hair in a shape. That's so weird. My mum used to cut her hair like that. Right. She likes to give you what she calls a lived in look. I think that's a pretty old school haircut, the razor blade haircut. Is it? Yeah, but maybe she's bringing it back in.

She wants to do a haircut for you women that is minimal effort and it's meant to look a little bit like, a little bit dishevelled. Right. And the idea is you can just... Lived in. Yeah, lived in. You can wake up and maybe just tuck a bit of it behind your ear. Not you, because I've seen your hair in the morning.

You look like the Paddle Pop Lion. Pardon you. Well, you know, that's fair. That is pretty fair. I don't know if she can do it for you. To get a Jane Matthews organic haircut... How much? You're looking at $515 a haircut.

Just the haircut? Just the haircut? Just the haircut, yeah. No colour, no nothing. I don't even know if she does colour. Blow dry? I don't know. If it's wet, I guess, yeah. I love how you have no clue about women's hair.

You're like, wait, they do that? She's so in demand that people are flying her on private jets around California to do their hair. Rich people, obviously, who don't care about the $5.15. I mean, how much better could she be than like a really top stylist at another hair salon? Right? You go, can you do me a Jane Matthews?

But obviously she is. Maybe she's got really good banter too. That's the other good part of a haircut. Maybe she's got really good haircut banter. Favourite part about the hairdresser is the banter. Have you ever seen, this is also similar vein to this, but the guy that was using where he'd burn the hair off? Yes, I've seen that guy.

Yeah. Terrifying. Not good. That's gone way too far. Not good. Also, the smell of burnt hair is disgusting. I don't reckon that'd be good at all. And then did you see the other guy who's using a samurai sword?

No. All right. Okay. I thought that was kind of cool. No. We want to know this afternoon. I know 800 tiles at him. Have you had your hair cut with a samurai sword?

No, no, no, no. Can you imagine you turn up to the hairdresser and the hairdresser, I get worried when they pull out the big scissors. He pulls out a freaking sword. Shing. Shing. He pulls out a lightsaber.

That's what we want to know. It's a real basic question. How much is your haircut? We want the cheapest haircuts around and we want the most expensive haircuts around as well. So if you've got one or the other. And you just have to have it done. Maybe there's a reason. Maybe you just can't change the person who's cutting your hair. 0800 dials at M. Or you can text

us on 9696. How much is your haircut? Now, do you want some off the left side? We're asking you, how much does your haircut cost? How much do you pay for your haircut? Well, tell us how much your haircut costs first. About $35. No, tell us how much it really costs you. About $35. No, tell us how much it really costs you.

About $35. No, you personally. I am the lucky boy who doesn't have to pay for his haircuts. Why? Because I've got a hookup, okay? Oh, is this that? This is not about me. Is it because you're an influencer now?

This is not about me, okay? Oh, that's right. He gets free ones because you're an influencer. There's a lady who's charging $515 for haircuts. Her name's Jane. That seems a bit pricey. Yeah, she's becoming a celebrity hairstylist, and by that I mean she's the celebrity.

I just showed Brie the haircuts that she's doing, the $515 haircuts. And I legit, the first thing I said was, do you think they all kind of look like a bit of a mullet haircut? They're a bit mullety. You know what it looks like? You probably don't remember this, but back when I was in about grade 10, so people who were at school in like the early 2000s, like mid 2000s, all the girls had that haircut where we got it cut really short kind of at the back and then

we'd put it into a low ponytail. Do you remember that haircut on all the girls? Nah. That was super common. I wasn't paying much attention to girls' hairstyles back then. All girls. No, actually, fair, probably not. We want to know, how much does your haircut cost, Emily? Emily! Hi, hairdresser.

Oh, hello. Hi, Emily. How much does your haircut cost? Absolutely nothing. My auntie's my hairdresser. Oh, but Emily, like, okay, so let me talk this through with you. My mum is a hairdresser, and my mum kind of gets the shits a little bit when everyone in the family keeps asking her for free haircuts.

Oh. Yeah, she works in a caravan in my mum's front yard. Oh, right, so she kind of owed you. Yeah, a little bit. Plus, we help look after them sometimes. Yeah, no. So she kind of owed you. Yeah, a little bit. Plus, we've got four kids and we help look after them sometimes. You're good to go. Let me flip that around, though. If you decided to

go and treat yourself to a real haircut, no disrespect, would she get pissed off? That was disrespect. Just because you say no disrespect. You know what I mean, though? If you came around with a fresh do and your auntie, is she going to be like, oh, where did you get that done? I'm far too

broke to do that, so it probably wouldn't happen. Never been an option for Emily. Not a problem then, straight to the caravan for you. Hazel's here. Hi Hazel. Hi Hazel. Hello. Hello, you're 12 years old, is that right? Yeah. Okay. Oh, tell us, how much do you spend on getting your hair cut, Hazel?

I spend $29. $29, okay. And where do you spend on getting your hair cut, Hazel? I spend $29. $29. Okay. And where do you get it done? Just cuts? No, I get mine done at Charlie's Angels. Yeah, Clint. Okay.

No, I like it. $29. She's fancy. What do you think about Bree paying $100 for a haircut? That's a little bit crazy. Hazel, can I just say, though, I need all the help I can get, so I have to pay more. Of course you do.

It's like, have you ever seen the dogs when they're getting the clipper treatment at Animates? Oh, yeah. It's like three people standing around Bree, they put her up on a big stainless steel table. Hazel, don't listen to him. Don't listen to him. And from the men's corner, William's here.

Hello, William. Hello there. I feel like this is going to annoy me, how much here. Hello, William. Hello there. I feel like this is going to annoy me, how much it costs you to get your hair cut. Only $15. $15? Yep. Where are you getting it done for $15?

I get it done on a guy called Early's Dollar Shop along the Cappity Coast. On the Cappity Coast. Well, it's a long way to go for a haircut for the rest of us, but right. Okay, thanks, William. That was insightful, this phone topic. Like it was... Technically, my haircuts for the last two years have cost me zero.

Well, because you haven't had any. I've done it myself. Yeah, right. I've cut my split hair. Can we save this break and send it to him for a radio award? Oh, true. I think this has been one of the best radio bits we've done in a while. Bree and Clint from iHeartRadio.

This is the latest live from LA with Dean McCarthy. Today was a special service in Los Angeles for the late basketball star Kobe Bryant. And to tell us the latest on that, Dean McCarthy's here. Hi, Dean. Hi, guys. Yeah, it was a beautiful service in LA today, but also in LA today there was an ugly lawsuit looming. Vanessa Bryant, Kobe Bryant's wife, has

finally filed a lawsuit against the helicopter company that was being chartered when Kobe and, of course, Gigi and the others were killed. As you may remember, the helicopter was allegedly flying too low in fog and at a speed of 180 miles into a mountain. She has filed a suit today that is claiming negligence on behalf of the helicopter pilot and the helicopter company

and some safety issues with the helicopter, although that part wasn't specifically explained what was unsafe about the helicopter company and some safety issues with the helicopter, although that part wasn't specifically explained what was unsafe about the helicopter. I know that it wasn't fitted with a particular terrain radar that is actually fitted on later models, but it wasn't fitted on that year model. It was actually an old helicopter, like a 1991 model. The lawsuit is, as you can imagine, enormous. It includes trauma and the trauma, and one of the things listed was the trauma that Kobe

and Gigi would have, the terror, sorry, that they experienced before Impact, and of course, it just, it's a long list, and it's a very strong case. When you read it, you'll be like, wow. Dean, how much money are we talking here? They haven't actually given

the specific amount, but America loves... It'll be like $100 million or something. It'll be more than that. Yeah, the helicopter company will go under. Yeah, it'll be massive.

The thing is, is that it doesn't bring those people back, does it? Doesn't bring them back, but if you feel that someone did something wrong that cost you your family members, absolutely you're going to take them to court.

Might bring you some peace, who knows. The service which you will see floating around on Instagram today as well. There were some beautiful speeches given. We saw Michael Jordan speak. Yeah, that was really lovely. We saw Shaquille O'Neal speak. This is a clip of Vanessa, Kobe's partner speaking at the service today.

God knew they couldn't be on this earth without each other. He had to bring them home to have them together. Babe, you take care of our Gigi. And I got Nani, Bibi and Coco. The whole thing is just so devastating. The part that probably I was kind of shocked me quite a lot was when she talked about how long they'd been together.

They've been together since she was 17 and a half. They were each other's first loves, first boyfriend and girlfriend. They wouldn't know each other without each other, right? They've been together literally most of their lives and to lose someone like that so early, like I can't even imagine. See if you can find Michael Jordan's speech. He broke down in tears as well. It's really emotional to watch.

That is the latest. It's brought to you by Samsung. If you pre-order the Galaxy S20 Ultra before March 6th, you're going to get bonus Galaxy Buds Plus. Brie and Clint. Did you see the news today, Brie, that the WWE is coming to Auckland? No, I didn't see that news. Do you watch wrestling?

Are you a wrestling fan? We used to watch the WWE a lot as a family when I was like real young. Yeah. But then, no, not, I haven't seen WWE stuff, you know, since The Rock and that were big. Yeah, I have never watched it.

My dad is a huge, You've never watched it? No, I've never been into it, but my dad loves it. Absolutely loves it. Yeah, my dad liked it too. My mum hates it. So does mine. Hates it. Hates the fact that dad watches it too My mum hates it So does mine

And also see if he's allowed to watch it in the house yet. You know, like has he graduated to being able to watch the sport that he loves in the comfort of his own living room. Let's put a call through and see. Hello. Dad. Hello. It's Clint.

Yeah. Hello. Bree's here as well. Hello, Mr. Roberts. You having a nap? No. Not anymore. Not as well. Hello, Mr. Roberts. You having a nap? No. Not anymore. Not believable. Hey, quick question. Did you see that the WWE is coming to New Zealand?

They're going to do a WWE in Auckland? Yeah, I think so. Yeah? Are you excited about that? No, I just like watching because it's so sick. You like watching it because it's sick? Yeah. Like fully sick or? No, no, I like watching it because it's so corny. I like it because it's sick? Yeah. Like fully sick or?

No, no, I like watching it because it's so corny, I like it. Oh, right, right, right, right. I had a question. Does mum let you watch it in the lounge yet or? Only if she hasn't got a programme on. Right, you have to get your booking in first. Right. Yeah.

Can I run some of these stars past you and you tell me if you know any of the wrestlers that are coming to Auckland for the wrestling? I don't know many. I like the older ones, yeah. Right. Do you know? Give it a go.

Okay, give it a go. Yeah, The Undertaker. Am I right, Mr. Roberts? Yeah. Yeah. And Kane. How good was Kane? The Big Show.

You do? Well, she's coming. She's the women's champion. She's lynching and she's winching. Charlotte Flair. Do you know Charlotte Flair? Yeah. Oh, you do know her.

Okay, cool. Don't look into the flair. It's a bit of a glare. Do you know Seth Rollins? Yes. You do? Rollins with the Rollins. And do you know the Australian star Buddy Murphy?

No. No, not really. No relation to Eddie Murphy. Well, three out of four is not bad. That's pretty good. I think you need to go. I think we're going to get you and mum tickets to the wrestling, and then you have to go. If we get you both tickets, will you take mum along to the wrestling?

Oh my God. Yeah, if she'll come, I'll take someone with me, yes. Your wife told me that she's busy. We don't know when it is, but she said she's busy. She doesn't like it, eh? She's ringing us up, pets. Clint will go with you. All right, that's our wrestling correspondent, my dad.

Thanks, Dad. Thank you. Thank you. Thanks, Mr. I do love a good discussion, especially about things that I think maybe are new or something that our generation, Clint, the millennials, has kind of, you know, been maybe the first generation that it's been kind of a big thing, which I think, to be honest,

a wishing well, which if you've never heard of that, I think most people probably have, is where you ask for money at like an event, like a 21st maybe or, you know, at a wedding it's getting popular and instead of presents you ask for money in the wishing well. I have never heard of a wishing well anywhere but a wedding. Really? Yeah. No, definitely.

Well, in Aussie they have them at 21st birthdays. Instead of presents, you ask for money. Yeah. At a 21st? Yeah. They're quite common. But yeah, it might be at other events, I'm not sure. But super common these days to have a wishing well at a wedding.

Yeah. Yeah, and you and I were talking about this because back in the day when our parents got married, the idea was you guys are starting your life together. You're about to move in together for the first time. You're about to move into it a lot of times. You're setting up a home. People buy you stuff for the home.

Yeah, so you've got things like a kettle and a toaster and a cake machine. Egg beater. My mum goes, your father and I got this 30 years ago for our wedding present. We had the same thing in our house, our Russell Hobbs kettle. That's the one. And when it broke, mum goes, oh, we got that for our wedding.

And I'm like, mum, you've been married for 25 years. Get a new kettle. I wouldn't be opening that kettle to see what was inside. But these days, we're already underway with our lives a lot of the time when we're getting married. Most of the time, you're already living together. So we don't need stuff. And a lot of the time, if you're buying us gifts like that, it's going to be a double up. It's a waste.

Because I got into a discussion with a few of my mates over the weekend because I was talking about my sister's wedding and her husband and they had a wishing well at their wedding. And a few of my mates were kind of like, oh, that's a bit, ugh. Some people do feel like that. They're like, oh, I would never ask people for, I never would ask for money at my wedding. Yeah.

And I was kind of like, I think I'm on the other side. I don't mind it. I think it's fine. What I like when it comes to weddings is if you want to give a gift, you still can. Because some people are adamantly opposed to the idea of giving money for any occasion. Which is fine. You go, look, we'd love a contribution towards the honeymoon. That's what it's perfect for.

Or you go, we're saving for our first house or the cost of the wedding type thing, if you'd like to, because people love to give something at a wedding too. But you don't have to. But you don't have to. But please don't buy us a toaster. Well, I do love being like, oh, I don't have to go out and think about it and buy something. I can just be like, oh, I'll give them a couple of hundred dollars

towards the honeymoon. It's so easy. It's so easy. It's so easy. There's even easier ones now too. Some of them just put a bank account. Do they? Yeah, it's on the wedding invite. It goes, you can just deposit some money in our wishing well.

Here's the account. Then you don't even have to remember anything. I have seen that, yeah. You know what I found interesting? After my sister's wedding, the next day I sat there and I watched her open all the letters from the wishing well and I'm not going to lie, we did judge a few people based on what they gave.

Right. Not really, but it was just interesting to see. What did you think was a good amount of money? It depends who it's from. Yeah. Because if it's like, you know, friends, oh, that's hard. Depends who it's from. Because if it's like, I think a close family member.

Such an uncomfortable question. At least, I mean, I think I put in 200. Whoa, okay. Yeah. Good for you. Because I'm with my sister. Yeah, it's your sister. You don't have to give her anything.

Yeah, true. You know, weren't you one of the bridesmaids? You've done your job. She shouldn't be paying me. Yeah. You get a free ride. So this is where I found it really interesting. One aunt, not our aunt on his side, gave $1,000.

Whoa. Yeah, okay. I was like, where's she? I want to get to know her a bit better. You've got to invite her to your wedding. Yeah, right. I was like, did she come to my wedding? Right, okay. I was like, where's she? I want to get to know her a bit better. You've got to invite her to your wedding. Yeah, right? I was like, did she come to my wedding? Right, yeah.

But I do know what you're saying where some people see the wishing well thing as cringe. Tacky. I don't. You don't think it is? I think it's fine. I think it's fine at a wedding. Makes it easy for people. I don't love, I've got to be honest, I don't love the idea of it at a 21st.

But would you get someone a 21st present? What am I doing? Am I contributing to your 21 shots? Like what major life cost are you facing as a 21 year old? Owee, you don't need. No. I'm not paying for your Owee. Yeah, true.

Buy them a really crappy gift that they'll never use. Way better. We want to know from you guys. 0800 dial ZM. Wishing Wells. Do you think they're fine or they're a bit eh, a bit tacky,

a bit yuck? Yeah, maybe you had one at your wedding and maybe someone got offended by it. Yeah, does someone find it rude? Yeah, yeah.

What's your take on a Wishing Well? 0800 dial ZM or text us on 9696. Yeah, we'll take your calls after this. Bree and Clint. Do you want to take people's money or not?

That's what we're asking. Are you cool with it? Are you cool with a wishing well? Mainly we're talking about a wedding, but it might be at your 21st. It might be at another, you know, big birthday. Someone checked myself before I wrecked myself on the 21st thing. I told you it existed. Yeah, they said that their family wasn't well off and they were desperately saving for a car.

So they said instead of getting me a present if you want to chip in for my first car. Which I think that's really nice. Yep. Okay. I get it. Yeah. I get it. Yep.

You know. Yep. Maybe something like that. You want to put on some good sausage rolls at the 21st is all I'm saying. Exactly. If you're going to do that. Which I'm sure you did. Come on.

What? They probably did. Yeah. And party pies probably did. Yeah. And party pies as well. Yeah. But at a wedding, yeah, it's a little bit divided. Do you think a wishing well is appropriate and, you know, do you want to ask for people's money instead of gifts?

I'm fine with it. I think it's completely fine. I think it's good for both because on the one side, you get money to then probably get something you either want or spend it on something you need. And for the people going, for me, I think it's way more convenient. We had a text message from someone who said that they are Asian. In Asian cultures, there's almost no gifts given at weddings.

That's what it is, wishing wells. It's all wishing wells. That's just how it operates. So that's interesting. Got some calls as well. Let's talk to Ash. Hey, Ash. Hi, Ash.

Hi. What are your thoughts on the wishing well? I got married a year ago, and we definitely went for it because we were building a tiny house, so having like a bunch of household stuff just wasn't going to work and then with whatever we got we built our outdoor area with it. Yeah, that's good. That's perfect. There was a strategy to

it. You quite literally couldn't fit any of the gifts into your tiny house. No, we still ended up with three cheese boards though. I don't really know how that happened. Oh my god, how many chopping boards do you end up with after a wedding? I can so relate to this. You can give me some if you want.

I love a cheese board. Yeah, take them, honestly. There's no room. Okay, thanks, Ash. There's a lot of interesting text coming through on this. Some people said, one person said that at a wedding they went to, over the weekend, actually, they had a wishing well and someone stole everything from it, including the well wishes and cards.

Oh, that's awful. That is so not cool. Because then you have to turn around and suspect your friends and family and go, who robbed us at our wedding? You'd really hope that it was like some of the venue staff or something? Well, you'd hope so. But then to be honest, I mean, at weddings, let's be real, sometimes partners get invited

and people you don't really know. I just remembered I went to the first Samoan wedding I ever went to. My friend Nixon, they have a tradition where the bride dances and people go and pin money to the bride's dress. Sounds very similar to another experience. Yeah, so it's like a real life 3D wishing well So you go and you don't pin your card on her What if you

Accidentally prick her with the pin You've got to be very careful It was wonderful, it was beautiful to watch Shelly's here as well Hi Shelly Good Shelly, what's your thoughts On the wishing well I got married two weekends ago

Congratulations Part of our RSVP We got everybody to contribute $50 towards their meals Right, so you had a wishing well before the wedding Yeah, so it also confirmed their RSVP because we've got a huge family, like my partner and I, and we needed some kind of guarantee that these people that were RSVPing were actually going to come. Were going to come, yeah, and if you put your 50 bucks down,

you're going to show up. I see what you're talking about. Yeah, so we've been together for 15 years. We didn't need any presents or anything like that. And we, like, put that in. We make up the rest. Everybody stayed with us. And we put all gifts in everybody's room.

Wait, how many rooms are in your house? No, no. So we booked a resort. And everybody had their own villas. You gave people gifts at your wedding? Yeah. What are you doing? This is your special day. You're meant to get everything.

I made personalised water bottles with our names and dates and stuff on there. Also, if you get married again, can I come to the wedding? Yeah, it sounds wonderful.

I know. I could do it all again, but I did like wine and chocolates and we had like little gems that were scattered everywhere and it was really cool. You're going to need another 15 years to save up to do that again. Thanks, Shelley. That's a really interesting insight. Love your call. There's one really interesting text that's just come through.

Someone goes, wishing well, rude, question mark, for a wedding, no. It's just the skips and the Kiwis catching on to what the wogs have been doing for centuries. I'm a wog and I must say, we have. Bree and Clint. This is interesting news that I never realised was a thing. Bunnings Warehouse. Oh, I love Bunnings. Love Bunnings.

Love it. I took my daughter, Tui, to Bunnings forhouse. Oh, I love Bunnings. Love Bunnings. Love it. I took my daughter, Tui, to Bunnings for the first time on the weekend. She, honestly, I didn't realise how much kids love

Bunnings Warehouse. I don't know why. She's only seven months old and you would think I took her to Disneyland. You could give a plastic bag to a kid and they'd think it was the best toy ever.

Okay, you're never looking after my kid. You don't give kids plastic bags. A box. Yeah, she does love a box. Bubble wrap. Yeah, no, no, but the sheer glee on her face,

maybe it was the savings, maybe it was the wide aisles, maybe it was the waft of sausage sizzle coming from the car park. Maybe it was the new plant policy that they've got. Excellent segue. We were reading today that apparently at Bunnings... Well, it's not new, is it? Isn't it? I don't think so.

Because I've never heard about it. I think this just is something that has been brought to light. This is good for you because I know how terrible you are at looking after living things. Bunnings has a 12-month return policy on their plants even if you kill them. Even if through negligence your plant dies, Bunnings will let you take it back.

Why would they do that? That's literally going to cost them money for people being not very good at looking after plants. Let me read you what it is. The perfect plant promise. That's good. Say that three times fast.

Perfect plant promise. Perfect plant promise. Perfect plant promise. Okay, I can't do it. On the Bunnings New Zealand page reads all of our plants except seedlings are guaranteed for 12 months. If you're not 100% happy, return your plant with receipt and we'll refund your money.

That is crazy. I mean, can they get any better? I think this is encouraging poor plant husbandry. To give it a go. Yeah, I think it's encouraging people to take a plant home and go, if it dies, it dies, you know? I learnt a little while ago that I'm not a real, like a real plants person. Yeah.

Like I'm a fake plants person. Yeah. And there's one story in particular as to why I learnt that. Why? I decided that I was going to have a little veggie garden out on my balcony at this apartment that I lived at. Wonderful. Which, I mean, for me, I love to cook. Very sustainable. I know. And not, you know, just little

pot plants, little, you know, shrubs of basil, maybe some coriander, maybe some oregano. Those ones you buy from the supermarket, taking my other pot, pot them straight into the dirt? Pretty much. But I thought, I'll start there and give it a go. Start small, yep.

Anyway, so I had, you know, I think I had about five of them and they were going really well, especially the rosemary because, I mean, that's easy to look after. Mm-hmm. And it was when I went away for a week and a bit and I forgot about them and I came home and I'm telling you, probably three out of the five were dead. Yeah, right. And I was like, okay, whatever.

Anyway, so I kept watering them and lo and behold, a couple of days later, one of the dead ones came back to life. Oh, like Lazarus. Yeah, and I was like, oh, amazing. Anyway, this one night I was cooking a sauce. It was just like a red tomato based sauce for pasta i was like oh i'm gonna go use some of the oregano because it's you know it's back on so i've like picked all these bits and i was like you know getting all the last bits

put this all into the thing and then i've ate like i've taken like a bite of it and i was like this tastes weird right and i've realized that it wasn't the oregano sprouting again, it was a weed. I literally picked every weed and put it into my sauce. Yeah, any idiot can grow weeds. I don't know if Bunnings have a perfect plant promise when it comes to weeds. But there you go.

If you've got a dead ficus at your place, turn up Bunnings. I can't promise when it comes to weeds. But there you go. If you've got a dead ficus at your place, turn up Bunnings. I'm so excited for this next chat. Slash also very shook. Like when I read this, and it's going absolutely bonkers on Twitter, I, to be honest, was very shocked.

Okay. Shook? Shook. Shocked. Shooketh. I mixed them both together. That's how hyped up I am. So obviously everyone knows the popular card game

Uno. Everyone's played it. Well, most people have played it, especially in our generation. I enjoy the variation, the spin-off Uno Steko. Yeah, that sounds fun. Uno adds a twist to the stack remember the tv ad no um anyway the popular card game uno has released a twitter statement confirming the long known but

widely ignored rule that you cannot stack plus fours or plus twos. Right. You're shook. I don't really remember the rules of Uno. Oh, my God. But I've played it and I love it. It is like doing a radio show with an 80-year-old. Oh, excuse me. Say it again.

Say it again. I'll add you the hype that you need. Okay. Yeah, are you ready? Twitter, Uno has confirmed that the long-known but widely ignored rule of you cannot stack plus fours or plus two cards. Oh, about time. So do you know what I'm talking about?

In a game of Uno, when someone would put down a plus four card means you have to draw four and you skip your turn, but if you had a plus four, you'd add on to the top. And you go, nah, plus eight. Plus eight. And then someone else goes, ha-ha. Oh, now I do remember the rule, yeah. Do you remember that?

Yeah. So you can't do it. They're saying you cannot do that. So what can you put on a plus four? Anything? No. No, you just have to pick up four. It literally beats everything.

You have to pick up four and miss your turn. Oh, well, great to get clarification from the Uno company. 25 years after we started playing the game and had how many fights and how many summer holidays? One time I had to pick up a plus 16. A plus 16, damn it! Can you be compensated retrospectively for that? Like, next time you play someone who made you pick up 16,

you go, actually, you owe me, I'm owed negative 12 cards here. So you can pick up 12. I've got this letter here from the Uno Corporation who said, you're wrong. Isn't that crazy? But it got me thinking because at the moment, I don't know if you know this, I think you do because I'm telling everyone, I am a massive, massive game player in the game of Monopoly Deal. Not everyone knows about Monopoly Deal.

I do. I'm obsessed. Once you play it, you will never want to play regular Monopoly again. No, I'm hooked. It's amazing. It's essentially a card game, you know, with all the Monopoly properties on it. And this is just for the Monopoly Deal players.

Like this rule that has so long been played by so many of us and we've all thought it was a rule, we've all played it. I want to know, does anyone know, because this has been many an argument. We play every night in our flat now. Yeah. Every single night. It's Monopoly that's over in 20 minutes.

Alan, my flatmate, he owes me 15K. Of Monopoly money? No, real money. Yeah, what do you want to know? I want to know in Monopoly deal, this is for the Monopoly deal players, can you, if someone, and this will mean nothing to everyone else that doesn't know the game, if you put down a just say no card, which pretty much, you know, blocks someone's move,

can you, if you have one, put down a double just say no? Why would you put down a? So you just say no, they just say no.... So you just say no, they just say no. Oh, you just say no, they just say no. So then they still have to do it. Which is the equivalent of you putting a plus four on a plus four. Pretty much. Yeah, right.

I want to know on the text machine, 9696, end the argument. Can you put a just say no on top of a just say no? And then if we're getting real hectic, and if the other person has another just say no, then triple their just say no on top of a just say no. And then if we're getting real hectic and if the other person has another just say no, then triple their just say no. So essentially what you're asking, if no means no, does no then mean yes? Exactly. So no means no, but if you add another no, it means yes,

and then they add a no and it means no. Oh, the text machine's firing up. I love it. Texas 9696, monopoly deal. Let's unite. Yeah, Bree and Clint, home of all your card game news. Bree and Clint. Of course, breaking news after the Monopoly deal chat we just had

because I am far into it. I am addicted. I'm obsessed. We were having the conversation. I wanted to know because it's a constant argument, can you just say no on top of a just say no and then triple on top of a just say no? And then triple a just triple on top of that.

People have said on the text machine it's skewed probably 90-10 in the of course you can just say no or just say no. Oh right, so yes you can. Oh, great to know. No, that sounded sarcastic. Oh my god, I heard she bought all her followers sounded sarcastic. Oh, my God.

I heard she bought all her followers. She would. She's such a bitch. It's time for Bree and Clint's Insta Fame Game. We all need to know that when we're playing tomorrow night in Southland. We are rapidly approaching secret sound time. Oh, yeah, let's get into it. So we need a speed round of the Insta Fame Game. Producer Ellie, today we'd like to play first to two.

$22.6 million. Damn it! That's a game to Clint. Rapid Fire is a fame game. Pleasure playing into a fame game with you. Pleasure playing with you. Let's have a chat about something, you know, a bit of a pick-me-up for a Tuesday. Yep.

Divorce. Oh. Let's talk about divorce for a minute. Right. Your parents aren't divorced, eh? No, your parents aren't either, are they? No. Wait, wait a minute.

Producer Ben's parents aren't and Producer Ellie's parents aren't. No, none of us have had to have that happen. It's quite unusual, isn't it? Yeah. I don't think it's – actually, I don't know because I can't relate. I don't imagine it's as traumatic as it – Is it? I don't know.

I don't know. No, that's the wrong wording. Thanks, person whose parents hasn't been divorced. That's the wrong wording. I think maybe the wording I meant was – Thanks for mansplaining that. No, I think the wording I meant was it's not as taboo anymore. To get divorced.

Yeah. Depends if you're Catholic or not. That's a very good point. It's interesting, though. This isn't a sad chat about divorce because I know divorce can be really horrible and horrific. But this is a chat about celebrating divorce. And I was watching a TV show the other day and it was quite interesting.

And I think I may have heard of this one time or another, but there was a woman on the show. So the show was about super yachts and it's called Below Deck, if you've seen it. And the woman that had chartered the yacht was chartering the yacht to celebrate her divorce. What a great idea. Yeah, take a listen. Tonight is an independence theme party

because Alexis would like to celebrate her divorce independence. We get it, your divorce, you dry humping the boyfriend was the first clue. Well, look, if it's been, especially if it's been a traumatic ordeal. A long divorce, maybe. A long drawn out thing.

Or maybe you came out of a stink marriage. Why not celebrate it? You know, it essentially is, once it's all processed, that's beginning of your new life. Yeah. You know, you're on the other side of that. It's in your past. It may have been a mistake. Doesn't matter.

You can write it off now. It's time for a new dawn. Or maybe you're celebrating that chapter of your life. What, have been a mistake. Doesn't matter. You can write it off now. It's time for a new dawn. Or maybe you're celebrating that chapter of your life. What, like commemorating it? Yeah. Like a marriage funeral? Yeah. Kind of. You're like, that was a good time. Let's celebrate it and now move on to the next thing.

Well, that would make sense if you were on good terms with your ex and they were there. Like imagine a divorce party where you two are both hosting it and you have all your friends there and you're like, guys, come around, we're finally divorced. I like that. That's cool.

Yeah, I think that would be the exception to the rule. I reckon people have done it. I reckon people have done it. I want to know from people. What was the question we were asking? Oh, we weren't asking. We were going to ask about divorce parties. No, we're going to ask a different question. No, we're going to ask a different question.

Yeah, we're going to ask a different question. Or we can ask a divorce party question if you want. Let's do a double phoner. Okay. Guys, sound the... Double question. Sound the alarm. Hey, we're just dishing them out.

Our radio consultant hates it when we do this, but it's time for a double phoner. First question. First question. Have you ever had a divorce party? Second question. Why did you get divorced? You don't have to be able to answer both questions. One or the other.

You can be divorced and not have had a divorce party. God, these get confusing. This is why they hate me. This is why they tell you not to do them. Yeah, yeah. We just want people who have got divorced to call us and tell us why you got divorced. And then we'll follow up with, did you have a divorce party? Yeah.

Yeah, there you go. Correct the code. You can also text us on 9696. Yeah, we're good at radioing. I know, right? Looking forward to your calls though. 0800 dials at M. Bree and Clint.

I mean, it's probably the happiest situation that has the word divorce in it. A divorce party celebration. We think they're a new thing. We've never heard of them before. But maybe they're the thing to do. We've never been divorced, so we don't know. I've never been to a divorced party.

No. So welcome to a signature Bree and Clint double phoner. Double question. We've got two questions. Why did you get divorced? And also, did youer. Double question. We've got two questions. Why did you get divorced? And also, did you have a divorce party? Yeah. Okay, let's start with Kerri-Ann.

Hi, Kerri-Ann. Hi, Kerri-Ann. Hi. Which question are you answering this afternoon? Well, I'm going to be divorced come April. Congratulations. Do we say congratulations? Yes, please do.

Thank you. Why? He was just a mental abuser. You know, he didn't do anything. He just made you feel like crap 100% of the time. Well, good on you for getting out of that situation. It sounds like something to celebrate. Are you going to have a party?

Yes, and the best thing about it is we're having a party and it's going to be a joint party with my new partner who is building up a house together. It's going to be a slash divorce party. It's going to be good. The new partner is building you guys a house. Winning. I know, right? Where did you find them? I know, I work with them

so that was even better. Oh, that's awesome, Kerri-Ann. I'm so happy for you. Okay, that's a divorce party that's on the way. Lance is here. Hey, Lance. G'day, Lance. How we doing? Very well.

Divorced? Yeah, divorced. Been divorced for three years now. Hang on, how old are you, Lance? I'm 29. Whoa, okay. How long were you married for? Married for two and a half.

Yeah. Man, you don't muck around, do you? No, I've got to do what I've got to do. Well, when you know you're not... Oh a half. Yeah. Man, you don't muck around, do you? No, I've got to do what I do. Well, when you know you're not, oh, probably. Exactly. When you know you need to get divorced. Yeah, exactly. That works in that situation too.

Why did you get divorced? So she, let's just say she decided to see a friend of mine. Ah. And yeah. Was it a consultation for plumbing work? Let's just say she had an interior garden that they enjoyed doing gardening. She did some indoor gardening. She had a problem in the undercarriage.

Yes. No, he was using a good metaphor. Yeah, so was I. What's gardening got to do with undercarriage? Anyway, Lance, did you have a divorce party? I sure did. Yes, was it awesome? It was probably one of the greatest nights of my life, to be honest.

Was she invited? No, definitely not. Was he invited? Let's just say we don't talk. Well, those are two stupid questions on our part. Yeah, fair enough. Thanks, Lance. Really appreciate your call.

Morgana, hi. Hello, how are you? Morgana, hi. Hello. How are you? Morgana, tell us, have you had a divorce party? I'm almost divorced. I was meant to be divorced in November, but I only just found out the other day that I could have been, so I'm definitely filing.

Right. Okay. Why are you getting divorced? My ex and my close friend spent way too much time at work together. Oh, another one. Oh, this is a reoccurring thing. It's okay. It's kind of funny.

It's kind of funny. Okay. I like your attitude, Morgana. So long as you think it is. You're going to have a divorce party? Have all these calls inspired you that you need to throw a party? Definitely. It's going to be the biggest party.

I'm thinking about doing it at the same budget as my wedding. Yes. Why? Book the same venue. Book the same budget as my wedding. Yes. Why? Book the same venue. Book the same venue. Get the celebrant back and go, I now pronounce you not husband and wife. The funniest thing is that venue,

when the separation happened, got shut down. It was Carisbrook. Done. Gone. On the same day. The stadium, it's been demolished. Much like your marriage.

It is no more. It might have been. It was really funny. Hey, Morgana, when are been demolished. Much like your marriage, it is no more. It was really funny, yeah. Hey, Morgana, when are you going to have this party? I'm thinking this year. I've got to do a bit of planning because I've got to send out invites and everything as well. Yeah, we'll come and DJ it for you. I was thinking I could do a dance.

It'd be perfect. That'd be awesome. But, yeah, it's going to be lots of fun. Thank you. Also, finally, Victoria, you are having a joint divorce party. Is that right? No, we had a joint divorce party. Well, tell us the situation.

How did that come about? Who did you have the joint divorce party with? With my partner. Wow. Wait, the one you divorced or a new one? No, no, no, with my current partner. Right. So hold on. Oh, oh. You've left your husband. Let me get my head around this, no, no. With my current partner. Right. So hold on.

Oh, oh. You've left your husband. Let me get my head around this. No, no. Yes, I did. I left my husband and he left his wife. Your first husband. But not because we met each other.

But you guys just both had gotten, were getting divorces. You met each other and you thought, hey, we're both getting divorces at the same time. Let's have a joint party. Yeah, why not? That's so cool. We've got biscuits all made. I've got all names on it and divorce party all written on it. We decorated the place. It was pretty awesome. I love it. We had friends that

travelled from around the country for it, so it was cool. I love it. It's nothing to be ashamed of and it's a life moment for yourself so why the hell wouldn't you celebrate it, you know? Exactly. That's awesome. And it was something that him and I connected on when we first met. Yeah. Yeah, because you'd be both going through the exact same thing. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Love it. Okay, hey, Victoria, congratulations and thank you for your call. Thanks. There you go. It is a thing. Divorce parties are a thing. Yeah, congratulate your friends. Buy them gifts.

Do you ever wishing well at a divorce party? Of course you do. You just got a divorce. It costs a lot of money. Do you have a best man? Give a speech? Yeah, why not? Free and Clint.

It's my birthday. It's my birthday. It's my birthday. Bree and Clint's Birthday Banger. Yeah, welcome to Birthday Banger.

So call me, maybe. It's hard to look right Isn't that funny? We just had Owl City and then we had Carly Rae Jepsen who both would have been one-hit wonders if it wasn't for the song that they then did together. Remember Good Time?

We don't even have to try It's always a good time Was Carly Rae Jepsen on this? Yeah, it's Carly Rae Jepsen and Owl City. Weird. Yeah, that's a bu time. Was it Carly Rae Jepsen on this? Yeah, it's Carly Rae Jepsen in our city. Weird. Yeah, that's a buzzy coincidence. Shem, do you like Call Me Maybe as your birthday banger? It's a banger.

Probably not one of my choices, but hey, it'll do if you play it. You can appreciate it objectively, right? Definitely iconic, for sure. One more. Let's get Steph's birthday banger. Hi, Steph. Hey, yo. What's your birthday?

22nd of January, 94. All right. You were 16 in 2010 on the 22nd of Jan. And back in 2010, this went to number one. There's a little black box, yeah, somewhere in the ocean holding all the truth about love. Hey, you're never done. Love Stan Walker.

And I love this. This is one of the best Stan Walker songs, and it's the first Stan Walker. And I love this. This is one of the best Stan Walker songs, and it's the first Stan Walker song too. It's my favourite Stan Walker song. His Australian idol song, Black Box. Do you love Stan? I do love Stan. Definitely rate any New Zealand singer.

Yeah, good. Okay, good. Love it. We've landed on three really good birthday bangers and three modern birthday bangers too. Yeah, quite modern. Relatively. All in the, you know, 2000 bangers too. Yeah, quite modern. Relatively. All in the, you know, 2000s at least.

They're all from this millennium. Yes. Alcide, Carly Rae Jepsen, love Stan Walker but I'm voting Alcide. I need to, you know, the essence of birthday banger. Yeah. Is to obviously pick the thing that you would never usually hear on ZM most of the time. Yeah. Yeah. Is to obviously pick the thing that you would never usually hear on ZM

most of the time. Yeah, yeah. But not just for the sake of that you would never hear it. No, but it's good. It also has to be a good song. Which I think both of those songs are worthy. Which both?

Oh, I mean, I'm saying Black Box, Stan Walker, we probably still play every now and then on ZM. Yeah. I'm saying the other two, probably both worthy of the birthday banger. Oh, okay. So it's out of Carly Rae Jepsen and Al Ciddy for you? I'm picking Call Me Maybe.

Are you really? Yeah. I just find I like that Firefly song. I like that other song you just played of theirs better. Yeah, that one's not up for grabs. Well, you know, can we just play that one? That's fine. We, in a split decision, we go to the producers,

and today the decision will fall to producer Ben. What is the winner of Birthday Banger today? I'm going to go L City today. Fireflies. Yeah. I haven't heard it for a long time. Neither have I. It's a wonderful Birthday Banger, and it's yours, Alicia.

Congratulations. You win. Thank you so much. I put it out for my husband's yours, Alicia. Congratulations. You win. Thank you so much. That's for my husband. Oh, there you go. Bree and Chloe, birthday banger on Zedium. up the world as I fell asleep Cause they fill the open air and leave teardrops everywhere. You'd think

me rude but I would just stand and stare I'd like to make myself believe that planet Earth turns slowly It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep

Cause everything is never as it seems Cause I get a thousand hugs From ten thousand lightning bugs As they try to teach me how to dance A fox tr dance above my head, a sock hop beneath my bed. This go ball is just hanging by a thread. I'd like to make myself believe

slowly. It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake. This planet Earth turns slowly It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep Cause everything is never as it seems And I'm all asleep Leave my door open just a crack Please take me away from here. Cause I feel like such an insomniac. Please take me away from here.

Why do I tire of counting sheep? Please take me away from here. When I'm far too tired to fall asleep. To ten million fireflies. I'm weird cause I hate goodbyes I got misty eyes as they said farewell But I'll know where several are If my dreams get real bizarre

Cause I saved a few and I keep getting a jar I'd like to make myself believe That planet Earth turns slowly It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep Cause everything is never as it seems I'd like to make myself believe That planet Earth turns slowly It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep

Cause everything is never as it seems I'd like to make myself believe That planet Earth turns slowly It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep Because my dreams are bursting at the same time Bringing Clint Natch, the winner of Birthday Banger from our city, it's Fireflies. One of the best birthday bangers we've had. Don't lie, you hated every minute of that.

I just think it's a bit, eh. A birthday banger's meant to, you know, make you feel something. Yeah, you did feel something. Yeah, nothing. Hate and loathing. Just average. I think it was good, I think it something. Yeah, nothing. Hate and loathing. Just average. I think it was good. I think it was a nice throwback.

Oh, birthday thing is not about nice throwbacks. Can you stomach this El City song? I like this better. Yeah. It's always a good time. This is just an out and out fact. I, tomorrow evening, will be winning $42 million in Lotto. You know if you say it, you jinx it? No.

Yeah. No, if you say it, you visualize it. No, if you say it out loud and you boast about it to people. I'm not boasting. Jinxing. I'm not boasting. I'm stating a fact. I'm using, remember that DVD we used to watch, The Secret?

You were literally yesterday making us fight over it and asking what we want from you if you win the $42 million and then you were literally making us fight each other for things. Yeah, because your requests were ridiculous. Well, not really if you're winning $42 million. You said you want a house. Yes. Do you know how many houses I'm going to have to buy? I'm going to have to buy my parents a house.

Only the people that have asked you. My brother a house, my sister a house, my other brother a house. I'm like a sister to you. Fine. Okay, if I win $42 million, if I win $42 million, if I win $42 million, I'll buy you a house

in Gore. Okay, I just bought a ticket sitting on the toilet in the $42 million. If I win, that's all you're getting then. House in Gore? Yep.

Great, I love Gore. I've got information here on if you do scoop the $42 million, how much interest you'll make on it. Because people always say that, right? They go, God, that's so much money. You could just live off the interest,

which would be hard to do. Don't snore. This is interesting. No, that's boring. How about you just spend it and live your life? You can't spend $42 million. Yeah, so why put it in an account where it's going to make more money? Let me just run you through the math, okay?

So if you do, if you have the willpower to put the $42 million into a savings account. I don't need to. And not touch it for 12 months so that it can earn some interest. What? So I win $42 million and I don't touch it for 12 months? Yeah. What if I died? This is what you'll get. What if I died? This is what you'll get if you do that.

That's a great point. You could die. Please put me in your will. So put in a term deposit and if we assume an interest rate of 3%, which is fairly standard, you'll probably get a better interest rate if you tell the bank you're bringing them $42 million. You will earn, over 12 months, you will earn $1,260,000 in interest. Yeah, well, it's better than the $4.85 I'm earning at the moment.

A million dollars in interest alone. You have to pay tax on that interest, and you'll get tax at the top rate. But still, after tax, in your bank account, for you to spend every 12 months, you'll get $844,000 a year. $844,000 a year. Are they taxing you that much? Yeah, 33%. That's the top.

If we break that down to a spendable amount, that is $70,000 a month that you'll get to spend. Your tax is paid. Go and do what you want with it. $70,000. That's $16,000 a week, which is $2,300 a day. To be honest, I think I'd just spend my $42,000 that I won. Well, this is the thing. You can spend $2,300 a day,

and you will still have $42 million in the bank for a rainy day. That's the crazy thing about this amount of money. Yeah, I know, but I love that you're still thinking about, like, okay, so I've got to be smart with my money. It's $42 million! You don't have to do that. No, you don't. And to be fair, if I win,

definitely blowing $5 million in a week, and then we'll look at a savings plan, okay? Jeez, that's going to be a big party. Bree and Clint. Imagine, like, in this week and then we'll look at a savings plan. Gee, that's going to be a big party. Imagine in this day and age we've all been left on read at some point, you know, where someone doesn't text you back. Do you know what that means? Yeah. Okay.

Excuse me. You were just looking at me like you're like, what are you talking about? I'm listening to you. Okay. Being left on read, horrible after a day, terrible after a couple of days. Imagine eight years later you've been left on read, horrible after a day, terrible after a couple of days. Imagine eight years later you've been left on read.

If you've been left on read for eight years, conversation over. Like, stop checking. Oh, yeah, let's hope that you've stopped checking. Yeah, but there's a woman over in Australia who shared a photo of a text exchange where this is the exact thing that's happened to her. Yeah. She got left on read for eight years after her crush

texted her back in 2011 on the 17th of July and he texted her, hey gorgeous, spelled G-O-U-R-G-E-U-S. Gorgeous. How are you, winky face? She replied a couple of days later actually. She replied a couple of days later, actually. She replied a couple of days later and she said, hey, name. I'm good, thanks. What have you been up to?

Question mark. Fairly standard conversation openers. Yep. So the next text message she received a couple of days ago, eight years later. Yeah. From him, he said, hi, sorry, I just got your message. I had an update on my phone.

Long time it's been. I just got your message eight years later. This guy is either. You can't say that eight years later. Sorry, just got your message. This guy is either an idiot or he's taking treat him mean, keep him keen to the extremes. Way too far.

Because you've got to remember that she left him on read for a couple of days. So he's gone, all right, I don't want to come on too keen. I might wait eight years. I might let her. That'll be playing it cool. Find the love of her life, get married, have a couple of kids, buy a house, move countries.

That's not playing it cool. That's a bloody iceberg. A giant iceberg. Here's the question, though. Do you even dignify that response with a response? Do you text that person back after eight years? Yeah, of course you text them back. You say, you text them back and you go,

sorry, wrong number. Brian Clint. Can I get a bit of smooth jazz up in here? Of course you can. There you go. That's nice. Yeah. I feel fancier when this is on.

I've got a list here that's been written by a bartender that says what bartenders think of you depending on what drink you order. Well, that's pretty judgmental, isn't it? Yeah, it is. Very judgmental. But everything's judgmental. I mean, you can't base, you know. They won't say it to you.

You can't base what a person's like based on their drink, can you? Yes, you can. Yeah, kind of. Let me look at you. I'm going to pick your drink. Vodka soda with fresh lime. You know me. You know what I drink.

You're such a vodka soda with fresh lime. You are. You are. You know what? Everyone my age is. Yeah, okay. You know why? Because we can't stomach the yummy drinks anymore.

Yeah. And we still want to get, you know, a little bit lit. Yeah, and you think that... So we drink the vodka lime soda. And you think the soda's going to help with your hangover. Yes, it does Because you're drinking water That's fine That's fine

That's fine I'm just judging you And I judge you correctly Do you drink vodka lime sodas? Love them Yeah so shut up Help with my hangover I've got a list of some drinks here

Is vodka lime soda on there? No don't add any drinks to the list Okay Because I've only got a very small list Okay And if you order any of these I'm about to tell you what a bartender thinks of you for ordering that drink. And let's see,

I want us to see if we agree with it. Okay. We're going to start with a rum and diet Coke. Oh, a rum and diet Coke. So not a rum and Coke. You want a rumbo, but you order it with diet Coke. Bartenders will go, you're drinking a spirit that is made from sugar.

With a diet. Yeah, why are you getting it with a diet Coke? You might as well just get full fat Coke, you're drinking a spirit that is made from sugar. With a diet. Yeah, why are you getting it with a diet Coke? You might as well just get full fat Coke, you idiot. Also, you're going to have 15 of these, so just give into it. And you're probably going to get Maccas on the way home, so give up the diet part. That's what the bartender thinks, not me. Okay, that's from the bartender.

No, but I don't agree because the rum's only a tiny part of the drink. Yeah, mate, I didn't write the drink. Yeah, I didn't write the list. Okay, I didn't write the list. I'm sure you didn't. Next, if you're at a cheap bar or just like a basic bar, pub type thing, and you order an obnoxiously high-end drink, like a cocktail. Espresso martini.

Yeah. Margarita. Or a Long Island iced tea. Basically. That's not a fancy cocktail. That's when you want to get lit. Yeah, well, they're saying you're a douchebag for ordering it. They're saying, come on, mate.

What, Long Island iced tea? Yeah, we're here to serve beer on the tap, wine from the box, and vodka lime sodas for Brie. Yeah. You know? Oh, hey, I'm fine with that if they're serving the vodka lime sodas. Let's be real. Anyone who is ordering a Long Island iced tea.

Yeah, is looking to get lit. And is also not there to have a fancy, nice evening. Oh, where'd our jazz go? Yeah, where'd the jazz go? Oh, there we go. I'm starting to get anxious. Oh, back in the Sims. Let's go to a Long Island iced tea then.

If you order a Long Island iced tea. If you order a Long Island iced tea at a If you order a Long Island Iced Tea at a fancy bar, they're also going to judge you because like you said, anyone who orders a Long Island Iced Tea is there to get steamed. It is literally the cocktail where they just go, let's throw everything into a bucket and drink

it. Yeah. That's what it is. Exactly right. And then put some coke in it to make it taste nice. So they think that you are bringing down the tone of the establishment. Which makes me go, if you can't order a Long Island iced tea at a cheap bar, and you can't order a Long Island iced tea at a fancy bar, where can you? Eagle Bar

on K Road, that's where you can order it. They do a ripping Long Island iced tea. I've got two more. This one's not so much a drink. It's people who go into a bar and they say to the bar owner, like, maybe you're in a cocktail bar or something and you don't really know the menu and you say to the bartender, just make me what you drink. It's people who go into a bar and they say to the bar owner, like, maybe you're in a cocktail bar or something and you don't really know the menu and you say to the bartender, just make me what you like. That's

dangerous. They hate that. According to this, written by a bartender, Surprise me. Yeah, surprise me. They hate that. They don't want to surprise you. They're a bartender. They don't want to get it wrong. Oh, and then you don't like it. And then you don't like it. That's fair enough. But also, like, if they had the choice,

if they actually wanted to make you whatever they wanted, they'd make you the most boring drink possible because it's less work for them. I was going to say. They'd go, okay, you're having whiskey on the rocks. You know? A couple of ice cubes. A couple of ice cubes.

A bit of whiskey. A bit of whiskey. To be honest, the best thing to serve someone when they're like, surprise me, vodka lime soda. They're like, this is un vodka lime soda. They're like, this is unremarkable, and you go, surprise. And the final one that bartenders will judge you for ordering,

this is coming from a bartender, and this is for you actually, Bree, because I've heard your penchant recently for chilled red wine. I love a chilled red wine. Anyone who asks for ice in their wine. Oh, piss off. When did they become the masters and the experts on wine?

What if I like my wine chilled? Get over it. They said you should only do it if you're drinking cheap wine because it's going to ruin the wine. I'm on your side. To be honest, though. Because I like ice in my rosé. Oh, you do?

Yeah. Yeah, because if rosé's not real cold, not good. Also, great for a hangover. Rosé like ice in my rosé. Oh, you do? Yeah. Yeah, because if rosé's not real cold, not good. Also, great for a hangover. Rosé with ice in it. It's called a rescue rosé. That's why you should have a vodka lime soda. VLS. VLS.

Anyway, that's what bartenders think of you depending on what drink you order. You can choose whether or not you decide to take any notice of that whatsoever. It's your life, babes. Now it's my turn to talk about what I think about bartenders. I'm just kidding. You're all sexy.

You're all hot. And you've done a great job. And come back to mine. When do you get off? What time? I'll be here. I'll be here. It is free in Clint.
