Totally. I've got to admit, I'm happy to be out of the square in Christchurch. Look, it was a bit hectic there yesterday, and it's good to be in Timaru.

Yeah. Put it this way, the square is not what I remembered it to be. If you're going to Christchurch, can I suggest you check out some of the wonderful attractions like the terrace? The terrace looks lovely. The palms or anything that's not the square. Or if you are going to the square,

have a look at the cathedral and then keep going. Keep moving. Hey, onwards and upwards though. We're here in Caroline Bay. We'd love you to come and see the hot tub time machine in all its glory.

Okay, we're live in Caroline Bay. The hot tub time machine is set up. God, it's beautiful. It's a Degree 43 hot tub. We'd love

to see you down here if you're in the area and you're free this afternoon. We're live in Caroline Bay in Timaru today in the hot tub time machine. Yesterday, we were in Christchurch. We did the show from Cathedral Square. And afterwards, we were treated to dinner with producer Anastasia's family,

which was lovely, wasn't it? Yeah, I felt like I haven't seen my parents in over a year. And I felt like I was there with my parents. They were so lovely. Yeah, Brie latched on. And then so because I felt like I was there with my parents, I said, can you pay for my dinner? And then they did.

I was sat directly opposite Anastasia's dad who runs a butchery. So I know he's got some wild hours. I know butchers. My brother's a butcher. I know they work some wild hours. Yeah, like bakers. Yes, he used to be a baker. And a candlestick maker or not? Not candlesticks yet.

That'll be next. Someday. Rub a dub dub. He told me what his sleep cycle is actually like. And I need you to confirm whether this is true or not. Your dad told me that he sleeps for three hours a night. Total. Oh, that's on a good day. On a good day.

Something on a good day. Sometimes it's more like two and a half. How is he functioning on two and a half? He told me that too. He said there's a secret to sleeping for three hours a day. It's having a nap in the afternoon. I was like, oh, right, okay, so it's not three hours. He has one 15-minute nap a day as a top-up.

That's the secret? And that's the secret. It's just meeting. I thought you were going to say like 28 coffees. People who do this always have some logic about it which which which it's like um confirmation bias he told me and this is why he only sleeps for three hours a day he said most people die when they're asleep so that's not a good logic so how can sleep be so healthy for you if so many people are dying from it probably probably because they're old not because it's

they're sleeping an Anastasia's turned this into a life hack for herself. She said because he'll go to sleep at like 10 o'clock and wake up at 1 o'clock, 1-2-ish. So she'll call him to pick her up from the clubs when she's in Christchurch. He doesn't work in on a Sunday, so he sleeps in

until around 3. That's his sleep in. That's his sleep in, yeah. So then that's the perfect time for him to come pick up the girls from town. Are you sure? And Bree brought this up. Are you sure your dad's not a vampire? Yeah. Does he have any sons named Edward?

Have you looked at bite marks on your mother? The only thing is, actually, you know what? Does he sleep upside down? The man never eats garlic. Oh. That's interesting. And I've never seen him out in the daylight. No, neither.

Neither. He's quite pasty too, isn't he? Don't know about that. If you're listening, Martin, thank you for dinner. Yeah, no, we appreciate that, Martin. We really do. We want to take some calls from some people this afternoon who are similar, who just don't sleep.

You don't need it to function. Not the people who don't sleep because you've got newborn babies or there's really good reasons. You want to sleep. People who do it as a lifestyle choice. Are you what, four hours or less a night? Yeah, four hours or less. Is that how much you're sleeping?

That's not a lot. No glass barbecue enthusiasts need apply for this segment. Just those people who choose not to sleep for prolonged periods of time. 0800 dials at M or text us on 9696. We'll talk to you as well. We're live from the hot tub time machine. We're in Caroline Bay right now.

There's actually heaps of people here. We've got a lot of lovely people who have made the trip down here to Caroline Bay. So thank you guys. Hi, everyone. See, I told you there was heaps of people here. We're talking about not getting much sleep. Anastasia's dad took us out for dinner last night and revealed to us that he sleeps for a grand total of three hours a night.

Yeah. And you know what the weirdest bit is? He looks and seems like a perfectly normal person. It's all an act. Yep. Yeah, all an act, I reckon. Really? Nah, he's good.

He must get so much done. If I didn't sleep as many hours as I do every night, I would just be, like, getting stuff done. What does he do on the week? Because he's a butcher, so he goes in and works crazy hours. Yeah, yeah. What does he do on the weekend when he's up and in the house at 3 o'clock in the morning on the weekend?

What does he do? Well, because, like, he kind of has naps and stuff in the afternoon. Like, when he comes home, he misses a lot ofaps and stuff when he comes home. He misses a lot of TV and stuff, so he'll do that, do book work. Cook a roast. Yeah. Cook a roast at 3am. Get on the exercise cycle.

Oh, definitely no exercise for Marty, no. No exercise. So he lives on three hours sleep and he doesn't exercise. Because he's on his legs the whole day, standing up the whole day. That's enough exercise. That's why he only sleeps three hours, because he doesn't have to burn all his energy exercising. That seems crazy to us, big sleepers.

So we want to know, are you a non-sleeper? Who's called up this afternoon? Heather. Heather. Hi, Heather. Hi, how are you? You don't sleep, Heather? No, but like your butcher guy, due to work,

working in hospitality, different rosters. You know, you just probably been in the industry 15 years now. So what are we talking? What sort of numbers? How many hours a night? Less than, like, four would be my max. Whoa, four is your max. And how many coffees do you have a day?

Because I'm in hospitality, baristas are very good friends of mine. Yeah, yeah. I bet they are. I have 10 coffees a day. 10? Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Yeah. She only gets four hours of sleep.

10 coffees a day. Easily. Easily. So you're being modest there with how many coffees ever? Probably, yes. Do you function fine most of the time on four hours sleep or do you feel like a bit of a zombie most of the time? When I'm at work and active, I'm 100% onto it,

probably one of the most energised people in the team. But then when I'm at home... That'll be the 10 coffees. 7.30, you know, if I'm at home in the team, but then when I'm at home... That'll be the 10 coffees. 7.30, you know, if I'm at home in the evening, I don't want to talk to people at 7.30. I don't care. You and I both, Heather.

In the morning, I don't want to talk to you. Fair enough. Thanks, Heather. 10 coffees a day. Can you imagine what colour Heather's wheeze would be? Yeah, I know. There's a lot of people texting through on this. Someone texted through and they said, I sleep three to five hours a night.

It is by choice. That is because I'm an irresponsible dumbass. Yeah, right. Someone who stays up scrolling on their phone too long. Yeah, TikTok will get you. Someone else said, I'm a dairy farmer. I only sleep four hours a night from 12 p.m. to 4 a.m. I feel for dairy farmers.

They work their butts off and so hard they would never get to sleep. They're up, they're down, they're up and they're looking after those cows 24-7. Right, okay, this is making me tired just talking about it. Bree and Clint. Time for the latest. From iHeartRadio this is the latest live from LA with Dean McCarthy. Dean's on the line with us with details on whether we're actually going to see the details of Kim and Kanye's divorce in whatever this new season of Keeping Up With The Kardashians is. Hi, Dean.

Hi, Dean. Hi, guys. Here's the latest on Keeping Up With The Kardashians. As you know, this is their final season on air. This is the final season ever of the show Keeping Up With The Kardashians, and you will not be seeing Kim and Kanye's marriage problems during this season. Why?

Here's the word in Hollywood. Apparently, Kris Jenner, because she's like the Grinch of, I don't know what you want to call her. She's like Scrooge McDuck. She's the Mr. Burns of Hollywood. She is holding the content, apparently, for the new Hulu series. Now, we don't know what it's going to be called

or even what it's going to look like. It might just be Kim's life. It might be, who knows? We don't know that, but we do know is that, apparently, she's holding off that juicy content. Because what a way to launch the new content on the new service, Hulu, than with the Kim and Kanye breakup. Like, that's a good one.

Yeah, it'll be massive. It'll be huge. That's why they call her the mummager. I just find it, like, so strange, Dean. Like, I can't picture my mum if we started a reality series being like, alright, so, you've gone through this horrific thing. Let's not talk about it for a little while

and then let's plaster it everywhere. Yeah, right? It's ruthless. It's crazy. Yeah. But then also, your mum owes you quite a lot of revenge, so she will probably release because Kim's mum released her tape. Yeah. Pretty much. But then also, your mum owes you quite a lot of revenge, so she will probably release. Because Kim's mum released her tape. Yeah. Well, that's the rumours, allegedly.

If mum and I ever got hold of yours, would she release it? I don't think anyone would buy it, to be honest. Who knows? Would she release it? There's the latest live out of Los Angeles with our Hollywood correspondent, Dee McCarthy. Free and Clint. Live from Caroline Bay in Timaru today, the hot tub time machine is set up.

The hot tub is looking good and we're going to get in soon. Very soon. Did you hear about the meteorite? No. What, is it on the way? No, no, but there's a meteorite. Is this our last tour of all time? It's already actually landed on Earth.

Oh, right. It was in Australia. There was a crash investigation unit that posted about it on Facebook. Did you see this? No. So, this is such a great story and such an Aussie thing. So, there

was this primary school called the Melanda State School and they decided they wanted to create a meteorite. Create a meteorite? Yeah. So they created this meteorite and they've put it out on the ground and they've created it so it's looked like it's fell from space, right?

Good. They created this big thing. The local police got involved. They've come out to, you know, give them some support. I love the idea of the local police dealing with a meteorite. Yeah. Coming out, shining their torches on it and going, oh, yeah, well, it's definitely a meteorite.

So the police, anyway, they've got the police there, the meteorites, you know, in full force, and they've taken this photo and they've posted it online. Yeah. And it's gone ballistic, and people have thought that it was a real meteorite. But it's just some kids. But it's a bunch of kids who have done it for a science project at a primary school.

It's a problem. People just believe everything these days. On the internet. It's like that, people who are posting that, you know that, remember that like stainless steel rod? They're like, how did it get out here in the desert? Remember that was happening last year? Yes, I do remember.

It's clearly like a Banksy or something. It's clearly just someone that set up. An art installation. This time, just some kids. Could be worse. It could be one of those meteorites. You know when people go and investigate it and they dig it up and they handle it and they're like, look at this meteorite, look at this meteorite.

They take it for testing and it's a frozen turd out of the bottom of an airplane. Yeah. They're like, that's come out of the poo chute. Bree and Clint. We're live in Caroline Bay in Timaru on the Hot Time Machine Tour. Yeah, they're like, that's come out of the poo chute. Bree and Clint. We're live in Caroline Bay in Timaru on the Hot Time Machine Tour. No, that's right, we are on tour. That's exactly how you say it.

Yep, you crushed it. We are on tour at the moment, and it was interesting, at breakfast this morning, I was sitting there, Producer Ben and I were having a lovely breakfast, and then he says to me, because obviously Producer Ben is from Christchurch. His parents are from Christchurch. He's been here over the Christmas break with his lovely partner visiting. And Ben goes to me at breakfast. He goes, oh, caught up.

You know, we saw mum and dad yesterday. And I was like, yeah, it was nice to see them. He goes, yeah, they dropped some stuff back that I left at their house over the Christmas break. Isn't that right, Ben? Yeah, I left some stuff. I was just some shorts and a card. Some bits you left over. Some pieces. Then I was like, oh, yeah, sorry, I forgot. And I was like, oh, okay. I was like, yeah, what were the things that you left? And there was one particular item that caught my attention that his parents had to return to him yesterday. And what was that item, Producer Ben? That item was my partner's sexy lingerie.

Yeah, boy. Wait, so was it your mum or your dad that returned that item? It was probably both of them. But I know for a fact... One each, bro. No, no, it was just the... It was just the... Oh, I can't remember. I haven't actually seen it yet.

I haven't unpacked it. So many questions. There are so many questions here. What's at the top or the bottom? I'm pretty sure it possibly was the bottom. Oh, no! So many questions. I'm going to begin with...

Yeah. How wild was Christmas at your parents' house? No, no. No, we're not doing that. Because when we go to visit my parents, Lucy usually packs like a dressing gown and some slippers. Hot in Christchurch over summer. Hot damn. Do they act perfectly?

I can imagine your parents are pretty chill. They wouldn't have said anything, would they? No, they're fine about that. Oh, and yeah, there's some underwear that's been left down here too. And then just sends a photo to our group chat. No. Wait, wait, wait. Who's in

the group chat? Me. Yes. Britt, mum and dad. Wait, so your partner is in the group chat? Yeah. What did she say about it? She said Britt has left the chat. Nah, she just was like, oh. She would have laughed about it. Yeah, she laughed about it? She said Brit has left the chat. Nah, she just was like, oh. She would have laughed about it. Yeah, she laughed about it. She was fine.

She was just happy to get them back. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They were expensive. Whenever my parents return an item of clothing to me, no matter whose it is, it's always washed and folded. Oh, God. Mummy's boy over here. Had the sexy lingerie been washed and folded when it was returned to you?

I haven't checked. Oh, yeah, that's not ideal. You'd rather it be clean. Can you imagine Mr. McDowell finding this underwear in his house and just that split second where he thinks that it could have been Ben's mum? And he was like, oh, it's on. Oh, boy, it's on. The old boy has still got it.

Christmas has come early. I also found it interesting. And I'm about to as well. Oh, too far, red car. Too far, red car. Yeah, that's a no. Anyway, not the best situation to be in with your parents. A little bit awkward. It is a little bit awkward. Because I put myself in that situation and think about if my parents had to return something like that. Yeah. I would just say it was mine, but you can't really do that, can you? Oh, man.

All right. Well, it sounds like you guys got through it and it's all good. Yeah, we got the goods back. Yeah, that's the main thing. The goods are back. Britt's happy. The parents are happy you're happy

everyone's you know exciting for you if she's got enough that she didn't even realise that it was missing as well like you know she didn't know

that that that certain item was out of the she probably did but I mean what are you going to do didn't want to bring it up call the hotel

hey guys have you found um we stayed at your hotel on the 28th of December I've um I've left something in the room. Is it a phone charger? No, it's not a phone charger. We want to ask you guys this afternoon,

have your parents come across something of yours that you didn't really want them to find? Yeah. Did they find your stash of something in particular? It doesn't have to be rude. No. It could just be... It can be anything.

Anything under the sun. But did your parents find something that you owned of something in particular. It doesn't have to be rude. No. It could just be... It can be anything. Anything under the sun. But did your parents find something that you owned that you didn't want them to? Oh, 800-DIAL-ZM. Or you can text it to us on 9696. Love to hear about it. Ben is now travelling around the South Island with a lovely pair of ladies' underwear.

If you run out, Ben, you can always... No, no, no. Bree and Clint. Yeah, we are on tour and we find out things about the team on tour and producer Ben at breakfast this morning said he had a little bit of an awkward encounter with his parents because

he stayed at the parents' place over the Christmas holidays and they said to him, because we were in Christchurch yesterday, you left some stuff behind when you came to visit. Here are a few things. There's a T-shirt and a pair of lacy lingerie underwear, which weren't producer Ben's. They were his partner's, of course.

But, yeah, a little bit awkward. I don't reckon it's that bad for Ben. Ben Villa, yeah. I'd be a little bit awkward if I was his partner. But the partner, yeah, you can imagine being a little bit awkward. I don't reckon it's that bad for Ben. Ben Villa, yeah. I'd be a little bit awkward if I was his partner, I think. But the partner, yeah, you can imagine being a little bit awkward. Yeah, if it was my parents and they were mine, I wouldn't be awkward. I'd be like, oh, whatever. Well, grown woman, Mum.

I'd be like, these are the ones I like. Can you buy me some more? So we've asked you this afternoon on 0800DIALZM, what's the item of yours that your parents found that you really didn't want them to find? Hi, Byron. Welcome to the show. G'day, Byron. Hi. What was it? My

dad found a packet of condoms. Oh, yeah? Okay. How old were you, Byron? Oh, that was a year ago, so 17. Right. Okay. Well, at least, you know, you're being safe. You're Byron. Oh, that was a year ago, so 17. Right. Okay, well, at least, you know, you're being safe, you're being smart. I think Dad would be happy to know that you were being responsible, wouldn't he?

But the question was, he asked me, was why were they all unopened? All you have to say is I was practising. That's it. No, unopened. Oh, unopened. Oh, unopened. Oh, that's a hard conversation, man. Dad was like, can you get through these a bit quicker, please? Thanks, Byron.

Catherine's here. Hi, Catherine. Hi, Catherine. Hi. What's the thing your parents came across, Catherine? My mum was making my bed one day and a toy fell out. Oh, no. My sister was like,

oh, I overheard mum cracking up today in your room. What did she find? And I was like, oh, no. And then when I went to move out of home, I thought I found a great hidey space for bits and pieces like that and I'd stored them between the mattress and the bed base and it had left an indent behind, Bits and pieces like that, and I'd stored them between the mattress and the bed base.

Yeah. And it had left an indent behind, which was rather embarrassing to explain to my dad. Yeah, probably should have thought that through if you had a memory foam mattress, Catherine. Yeah. Those things never forget. Can I ask, if you were moving out, why did you leave them there? Like, why were you stashing them at your parents? Surely they're a take-with item.

I had moved them by that point, but I couldn't do anything to get rid of the indent left behind. Oh, when you were leaving, the indent stayed and the toy left. It was just unlucky. Mum was making the bed and I'd forgot to put something away. That is very awkward, Catherine. I feel very bad for you. One of my favourite texts that's come through on the text machine is someone said, not my parents, but my in-laws early in our relationship, I'd made my boyfriend some vouchers for adult activities and his mum was cleaning out his car and found the entire envelope. I'm still cringing thinking about it today. That is a real devastator.

That is an awkward conversation. Our last person wants to remain anonymous. Hi, Anonymous. Hi. Hi, how's it going? Good. Your parents found something you wish they hadn't found. What was it?

Well, it wasn't my parents. It was more my father-in-law. He found my underwear in his partner's car. Oh. And then on my wedding day, he decided to tell everybody. In what, in the speech? Sorry? In the speech? Sorry? In the speech?

Yeah, in the back seat. We didn't ask where. We said in the speech. Wait, so did he ruin your wedding? No, no, no. So what happened was we went swimming at his batch, and then I put in a plastic bag, and it fell out of the bag, both my underwear and my shorts, and he decided to mail it down.

And then on my wedding day, he told everybody. My cousins were looking at me really funny. There's plenty of holes in this story, Anonymous. You know, we're not going to probe too deep. We'll just leave it there. Weird name for a woman, batch, isn't it? Thanks, Anonymous. We appreciate it? Thanks, Anonymous. We appreciate it.

Thanks, Anonymous. We're live in Caroline Bay. The hot tub time machine is set up. Just quickly, Bree, what temperature do you think it is in the hot tub at the moment? I felt it just before. I think it's about 32. We're sitting at 36, actually. Okay, not far off.

A delightful 36 degrees. We'll be in there very shortly. If you want to come down and see it, we're in Caroline Bay, like I said. It's beautiful. Clint, have you ever been to Waiuku? I have. Have you ever been to the Waitangi Falls in Waiuku? No, I've only been to the shooting range.

Oh, you haven't been there. Apparently, it's a lovely spot. Waterfall, the whole deal. Yeah, sounds nice. But it's under the spotlight at the moment because apparently, a very popular swimming hole, but it's been forced to close. Why? How do you, why?

This is an article I read online. It's been forced to close because they said it had a sudden spike in pollution, which has been linked to faeces. Oh, yeah. Who's taking a dump at the Wyoku Falls? Apparently a lot of people. Oh, yeah. It says with the waterhole,

it's normally got tons of people packed during the summer, but the smell and increase of E. coli bacteria has turned swimmers away and people were getting sick. You know what sucks about this? You know who we usually blame for this stuff? Who? Freedom campers. Tourists.

But there's none of them here at the moment. It's all just us. It's us. We have to take a long, hard look in the mirror and go, we're the ones shitting on our own back doorstep, you know? Yeah, literally. And yeah, pretty sad and disappointing. Such a beautiful spot. Let me get it straight. So it's a

swimming hole. Is that right? Yeah. And it has a poo problem. Who's doing number twos when they're going for a swim? Well, it says here that for seven days there's been poo pouring into the Manukau Harbour. Oh, right, right, right.

And people live on that harbour and the locals are saying something needs to be done about it because now it's affecting other things. So it's a sewage system issue. I think so. It's not like an underground thing to go and do a dump at the Waitangi Falls. No, I don't think people are that ridiculous. Well, that's helpful. I mean, it's helpful for our conscience.

It doesn't help anyone who was planning a divim, the Waitangi Falls. When you say Waitangi Falls in Waiuku. Yeah, don't be heading there because, yeah, it is closed and for good reason. Or if you do go, wear a full body steamer. I probably shouldn't have said steamer. I wouldn't have said steamer, yeah. Bree and Clint. I don't know where the cell tower is in Timaru,

but I think it might be down. Google, are you down, down, down, down, down, down, down? What the hell? I think Google's actually... Google down. It happens everywhere in the country, and that's why we still play it on tour. That's right.

Who is the fastest Googler on the team? That's what we're going to find out this afternoon. Today, due to a lack of microphones, it will be producer Anastasia and myself taking on Erin. Hi, Erin. G'day, Erin. Hey, how's it going? Good, mate.

You're my girl. I've got a feeling today you're going to take this out, okay? I've got to do it. Yeah, I'll give it a crack. Give it a crack. What are you Googling on this afternoon a laptop or phone phone a phone perfect that means the team will also be googling on their phones to make it even the way this works is i will read the question i'm looking for the most common answer that comes up on google and uh there's no buzzers.

You just yell out the answer as soon as you have it. If you want to have a guess and you yell out the wrong answer, that means you're out of that question. Good luck, everybody. Here comes question number one. Roughly, how many cows currently live on Earth? 989 million. 989.3 million. Over989 million. $989.3 million.

Over one billion kettle. Nah, sorry, I didn't catch that one in time. Erin, did you have an answer? $989 million, yeah. And 2019. Anastasia was first. What was I?asia was first. Or was I? You were first.

$289 million is the most common answer that comes up on Google for that question. Who's counting? Question number two. Where is Yellowstone? Start Googling. Yell it out when you know it. Wyoming. America.

Anastasia has picked up another point there. It is Wyoming. You still with us, Erin? Yeah, I'm still here. Come on. You got this next one, mate. Here we go. Question number three.

What movie won Best Picture at the Academy Awards in 2002? Start Googling. What movie won Best Picture? A Beautiful Mind. A Beautiful Mind. Oh, you were so close, Erin. But Clint has swooped in there. It is A Beautiful Mind.

That means two to Anastasia, one to Clint. Erin, you're still in this. Come on. Come on, Erin. Here we go. Question number four. How long does an African bush elephant... How long... Sorry. How long does an African bush elephant's pregnancy last?

Start Googling. 22 months. That is a tie, which means... 18 to 22 months. 18 to 22, so... I have to give it to Anastasia. That's three points. Even though it was a tie with Clint in the end,

it is 22 months that they are pregnant for, which is a long time. These questions are getting harder. They're more complicated. I enjoyed the break in the middle of that question. It was nice. It gave me a chance to catch up with my typing. If you could stumble over the question more often,

that would make things less stressful for me. Sorry, my Google was down. Happens. Bree and Clint, thanks for playing, Erin. We're live from Caroline Bay in Timaru. Bree and Clint. Yeah. Is it my turn to say something?

I have no internet. I actually have no internet. You were going to tell me about the guy who was in the coma for a long time. Oh, yeah, of course. There was a guy. Is Google down? No, the internet's completely down down so it is actually down i'm lucky i've done my research on this already um there's a guy named this is quite um interesting considering the past year that we've had has been you know unprecedented times like there's been no other

year like it with corona and all the other stuff that's happened in between. And I think that's why this story is so amazing to me. But it's a guy named Joe Flayville. And he was actually struck by a car 11 months ago. And he had to be put into a coma. So he was 19 years old when this all happened 11 months ago. And this was over in the UK. And anyway, so he's been in a coma for the last 11 months. And he actually woke up the other day. So he missed 2020.

Yeah. So he missed all of this year. What a year to miss. Yeah. So he's missed everything, all of 2020. Yeah. And I was thinking, how unbelievably hard would it be to explain to him what has happened in the last 11 months? Nearly impossible, I reckon. Nearly impossible. Because they wouldn't believe you.

Yeah. Like you said, there's not been a year like it. No. And it would be so hard to believe. But once he got it, though, because I always worry that if you were in a company for that long, you'd have FOMO for all the things you missed. This is the opposite. You'd be like, great, this is a great year to, I'm happy I

set this one out actually. What I wanted to do this afternoon is I've written up a bit of a thing with all just bits and pieces of what's happened in the last 11 months, thinking of how I would tell a loved one what had happened, like a recap, a quick

recap of the last 11 months. Give us a quick recap of everything that's gone down. Okay. So let's kick it off. Let's kick off the year with Megxit. Meghan and Harry actually left the royal family at the beginning of last year. Then Brexit also happened, where Britain now is no longer a member state. Parasite won the Oscar for Best Film.

There were locust swarms in Africa that took place earlier in the year. Harvey Weinstein was sentenced to prison for sexual crimes. Australia faced the most devastating bushfires ever. And then California followed a similar fate. Donald Trump was impeached and then he was acquitted. The coronavirus pandemic hit, and people were stockpiling toilet paper. J-Lo and Shakira performed a really, really kick-ass Super Bowl show. Kanye West not only ran for president,

but was endorsed by Chance the Rapper and Elon Musk. We lost some amazing human beings like Kobe Bryant, Chadwick Boseman, Chris Evans accidentally shared a DP on his Twitter. A live action remake of Mulan was released straight to Disney Plus because of Corona and no one could go to the cinemas. Trump claimed he was banning TikTok like seven different times. He never did. Carole Baskin was a contestant on Dancing with the Stars. A whole bunch of famous people got COVID. Macaulay Culkin turned 40. Vin Diesel released a song. That's

right. He released a song. George Floyd lost his life to police violence and the Black Lives Matter movement raised awareness. There were rumours about Kim Jong-un's death. There was a massive explosion in Beirut. Trump loses the election to Biden. Vaccine is created for COVID-19 and is rolled out globally. That's all happened in the last 11 months. It's a hell of a year to sit out, I reckon. We're on the Hot Tub Time Machine Tour. We've hooked a hot tub up to the back of our makeshift DeLorean

and we're driving the length of the South Island. Today we're in Timaru, Bree, and the sun is shining and we're in Caroline Bay opposite the Caroline Bay train. That's correct, we are. It's a lovely day here in Timaru. We're eating locally grown potato chips, Heartland potato chips. We couldn't get more Timaru if we tried right now. Possibly, only, maybe, if we had escaped from Gloria Vale.

I said before that apparently you escaped Gloria Vale, Timaru, where you want to be. Who told you that? I just heard on the street. I just had my ear to the ground. I've been here today. Right. There's a story today about a guy who escaped Gloria Vale. He's in the news.

And he's here in Timaru right now. He doesn't live here. He lives in Fairlie. But he's in Timaru because he was cutting down a tree and part of the tree fell on his leg and he had to go to Timaru Hospital and have his leg, in his words, screwed back together. Oh, God. The guy's name is Zion Pilgrim.

Glory of our name. Yes. Surely glory of our name, right? Sounds very glory of our name. He's 42 years old. Like I said, he lives in Fairleigh. And Zion has 12 children.

Yeah, that sounds about right. 12 kids. And he's only 42. He's only 42. His kids range in age from 20 years to 20 months. And his wife is pregnant. So there's another one on the way.

Lucky number 13. Lucky 13 another one on the way. Lucky number 13. Lucky number 13. Lucky 13. Is on the way for Zion. Actually sucks for Zion because he can't work now. And when you've got 12 kids, you've got to work. Yeah, absolutely. You have to work.

You have to work from sunup to sundown. So there's a give a little page running for Zion to help him out. Because one of the other buzzy things about being a former Gloria Vale person, because he only got out last year, when you work for Gloria Vale, you don't have an income. All the money that is earned goes back into the elders. The elders decide what they're going to do with all the money. Yeah, and then they pay for your food and stuff, but you don't get an income.

But if you're working on the outside world and you need to get ACC, they go, okay, well, your ACC will be based off the money you earned in the previous 12 months. He's like, well, your ACC will be based off the money you earned in the previous 12 months. He's like, well, I didn't earn anything. So how long ago did they leave Gloria Vale? Just under a year ago. Right. Oh, geez.

Interesting year to leave. Can you imagine how buzzy it would be re-assimilating into the real world after living somewhere like Gloria Vale? Well, it's your whole life. It's everything you've ever known. Yeah. And I can't even imagine the courage it takes to leave something like that. Totally.

And that's why so many people, he talks about it too, how people are stuck there because you don't know what's on the other side. When you're in a cult, and we'll just say it, when you're in a cult, like you don't know any different. And the outside world would seem terrifying, wouldn't it? Yeah, it is. I've met quite a few people actually uh in the last 10 years or so who were a part of a cult and uh then skipped out and uh came out into the real world yeah

and some of the stories especially in particular um these couple of girls uh they were sisters and they decided that they wanted to get out and they left their entire family, everything behind, and they haven't seen a lot of their family for like 10 years. Is it like when they first got out, was it like a rum springer? You know, the Amish people do. I'd say so. Not to say the Amish people aren't a cult. I don't know if that's a cult, but...

They're mixing all their drinks. They're going wild for a bit. They're going wild. They're on K Road. They're doing whatever they want. Yeah. Can you imagine? You'd have to live everything for the first time all at once.

This call out might be a bit hard to get anybody for this afternoon. I don't think so. I think you'll be surprised. Yeah, I honestly do think you'll be surprised. But we'll see how we go. We want to talk to people this afternoon who used to be in a cult. Yeah, where you were part of a cult and you're now, you've skipped out, you've left that life behind.

You might have grown up there. Yeah. Or you might have fallen into it when you got older, you know. You might have hooked up with the wrong people and ended up joining and then gone, yo, what am I doing? I need to get out of here. What am I up to? Are you, is that your story and are you willing to tell it this afternoon?

0800 dials at M. We can keep you anonymous. That's totally fine if you want to. Or you can use your Gloria Vale name. We'd love to hear that as well. 0800 dials at M or you can text us on 9696. Did you used to be in a cult? Bree and Clint.

We've travelled back in time to Timaru this afternoon. That's right. And apparently Timaru, a place where if you escape from Gloria Vale, you come to Timaru. Yeah. Michael's just joined us on the hot tub. It's social hour on the hot tub. Is that true? Is it to people from Gloria Vale flock to Timaru?

Oh, yeah, definitely. Really? Yeah. So that's a thing. That's not a rumour. I know heaps of them. Hundreds of them. Really?

It's like Gloria Vale 2.0. Really? Wow. That's amazing. So there you go. Confirmed's like Gloria Bell 2.0. Really? That's amazing. So there you go, confirmed by the locals. That is true. We're asking this afternoon, have you been in a cult before and did you escape? I didn't think anybody would call up for this.

Here they are. I told you they would. Who have we got first? Chris is up first. Hi, Chris. Hi, Chris. Hi. You were in a cult. I can't say I was actually in a cult,

but I have had an experience where I was invited away for a weekend in San Francisco up in the Napa Valley when I was about 21. Yeah. And it had a front as being a sort of an international youth peace weekend. And the weekend was amazing. Lots of, but it was full of lectures and talks and sport and activities and stuff.

Time share. I got asked to stay, you know, come and stay. We think that it seems like you're seeking something in your life. You should stay on longer and get more, they're luring you in. ...and more of these experiences. But, you know, one other thing that was interesting, that every group that you were in never had two people from the same country.

So it was really multinational and you could never speak with somebody from your own home and go... And compare experiences. Yeah. That's so interesting. Did you see people around you on that weekend sort of getting hooked in and getting sucked in by it? There were people that had already been there for months and months and months.

So I was one of the newbies. And when I wanted to... So we went for a walk up the road out of the camp, shall we say, another woman, another girl and I, and people just turned up all of a sudden saying, hey, look, you should come back to the camp. Don't leave. And I got the heebies. And yeah, so anyhow, I really wanted to leave.

And then leaving wasn't exactly straightforward. That is so terrifying. It was quite full on. And when you decide that you want to leave and then think well okay this is actually complicated but I did leave and I just chipped it up to experience and then

months later one of the girls who I had exchanged contacts with who was the same as me just went for the weekend she said that she got approached by some people who said to her, hey, you do realise that that group isn't who they say they are, they're actually a sect of the Moonee.

Well, we're glad you're okay, and we're glad that you managed to get out of there. Thank you, Chris. Amber's called up. Hi, Amber. Hi, Amber. Hey, how are you going? You were in a cult for two months.

Yeah, not super long, but I felt quite dramatic. How did you fall into that, Amber? We just got hired for a job there, like four of us. We were 19. And it was in the hills of Pennsylvania. And we thought it would be all right, but it turned out to be an Orthodox Jewish village. Yeah.

So at the start it was all right. Like, they were pretty friendly. But after sort of a few days we realised they were just super rude and they would spit at us and tell us we were going to hell. And it was all women, like, thousands of women. And we were not in any other town. So we, like, couldn't get out. Not quite the Kontiki you were hoping for.

Definitely not. So we just cried for, like, the't get out. Not quite the contiki you were hoping for. Definitely not. So we just cried for, like, the whole time. And then we realised, like, we need to get out. They weren't paying us. And they were just, we were definitely convinced we were going to hell and getting a bit, like, brainwashed. So we planned with a nurse whose husband drove up from New York and he hid in the bushes.

And then we got our backpacks and ran through the trees and jumped in his car. Escaped in the middle of the night. Wow. And then they reported like, yeah. Yeah, that's incredible. Wild. You had to do the full, far out. Okay, one more. This person wants to remain anonymous. Hello, anonymous. Hi, anonymous.

Hi. You were raised in a cult. Yeah, so I was raised in a homeschool cult. Okay, so tell us more about what that is exactly. So my parents are fundamentalist Christians, right? So they decided to homeschool us from, like, you know, from birth. And basically this cult gives out, like, homeschooling, like, information and, like like resources for parents so basically like through that we got just like tucked into it so basically it's an american cult it wasn't the cults where

like you live there but basically like the only things that we were taught or exposed to was from the right um and so yeah so they're from the u.S. and, like, the cult leader would come, would, like, come to our yearly meetings that we had down country and it was like God was arriving. You know, it was crazy and everyone were... What was his name? Now we realise... Oh, you can't, you couldn't say. Yeah.

What's that? So did your whole family leave the cult or did you decide you wanted to leave? Well, mum decided to, like, take us out and she left when she said she realised that she thought, I feel like I can't leave and that was when she realised that she had to leave. Yeah, right. Well, good on her for making that decision for you. And was that scary when you guys left? Yeah, well, it was, but it's more just, like, in retrospect,

like, it doesn't, you grow up like an alien. Like, you have no, like, you're taught that rock music is evil and, you know, girls have to wear dresses and, like, submit to their husbands and you feel like an alien, you know? God, I can't even imagine the first time you would have heard, like, Katy Perry, I Kissed a Girl or something like that. What was it like when you saw Geordie Shore for the first time you would have heard like Katy Perry, I kissed a girl or something like that. What was it like when you saw Jordy Shore for the first time?

Like you're going to hell, yeah. Yeah, you're like, oh my God, what is this? I've never heard this before. Okay, anonymous, thank you. That is a fascinating insight into that. Yeah, thank you so much for sharing. Because being raised in it, you would never know any different. That's your normal. So when you're good at it, you go, what the hell is this? And what is ice cream? This is delicious. And they're like, bro, wait until you try Powell's, not lit.

Yeah, look out. Brie and Clint. We're broadcasting live out of the Degree 43 hot tub here in Caroline Bay. Anastasia's holding a laptop on her head so we can do the broadcast. Our microphones are in glad bags. Everything's going good, eh, Brie? Yeah, it's pretty spot on, I think. Let's do birthday bang.

We're towing a hot tub all the way to Invercargill with our DeLorean. And that was our birthday banger today from Rhianna and Calvin Harris. Yeah, probably the best. They've done some really good songs together. A lot of songs, actually. But that's my favourite. Calvin and Riri. Yeah.

Yeah. They've done a few. If you want to win one of these hot tubs, it can come to your house. The guys at Degree 43 will hook you up with one of these hot tubs for a week. Just head to our Facebook page and comment on the post to win. They're fire-powered. It's got a firebox. It's very cool.

You stoke it up. It's got a chimney. It smells really nice, actually. I don't know what wood the guys are using from Degree 43, but it smells like they're smoking a ham or something. It's like a human barbecue in here. It's delightful. It's lovely.

I was just saying before that there's some weird new law But it smells like they're smoking a ham or something. It's like a human barbecue in here. It's delightful. Bree and Clint. I was just saying before that there's some weird new law where tenants are allowed to do minor renovations on their rental properties. Like I said, do your own research if you're planning to knock out a wall on your student flat. Does that mean, though, if you do that, then your landlord can decide, you know, if you want to renew, then they're like, no. No, I don't like what you're doing. Not after what you did to my place.

Possibly. A group of girls in Wellington have made the news today because they've redecorated their uni flat. They've wallpapered the entire place. Okay. And the thing they've used to wallpaper their house is Whitaker's chocolate wrappers. Oh.

That's a student flat, all right, isn't it? Before uni exams last year, they went to the supermarket and they bought a year's supply of Whittaker's chocolate and only lasted them until the end of uni exams because it's a flat full of four girls, you know. And they were eating so much chocolate that they decided it was a waste to put the wrappers in the bin. They started putting them on the walls.

It became a thing. Everyone who came around to the flat bought a block of Whittaker's chocolate. They all ate it together. They blue-tacked the Whitaker's chocolate wrapper to the wall. And before you know it, they've wallpapered the whole flat in Whitaker's chocolate wrappers. This sounds like an absolute nightmare to me. Nightmare? Nightmare.

You don't like it? No. You get to eat as much chocolate as you can. What's on the back of those wrappers? Oh, more chocolate. Remnants of chocolate. Nah, not if you peel them off properly Remnants of chocolate. Who likes chocolate? Ants, cockroaches, bugs.

Well, the girls now have to move out of the flat and they've decided to take down the Whittaker's wrappers. Don't know what the agreement was with the landlord, but they took them down. They put it on the Facebook page VicDeals, which is the Victoria University buy and sell page on Facebook. Someone's bought all 400 Whittaker's wrappers off their walls for their flat. Oh, my God.

The price they paid for a flat full of Whittaker's chocolate bar wrappers, two blocks of Whittaker's chocolate. That's a good deal. Andrew and John Whittaker, wherever you are, I don't know if you're still alive, get on board. Make some wallpaper. Oh, I was going to say give these girls some chocolate. Make some wallpaper.

That you can lick. Look, I'm really distracted at the moment, Bree, because I'm on the cusp of greatness. Yesterday, I attempted to break my own PB of breath holding, which is we've decided it's one minute, right? Yeah, I thought we were done with this. You didn't get it. We would have been done with it. You move on with life. We would have been done with it if I had breathed in my own record, but I fell short. So I've got to

go back to the Olympics. I'm like the torpedo. Imagine if he didn't get gold in his last Olympics. He would have had unfinished business. I've got unfinished business. Oh, I can't believe. Stop comparing yourself to the greatest Olympians ever. Well, I could be. We're about to find out today. Yesterday in Cathedral Square, I'll just give you a little reminder

of how my attempt went. It sounded like this. There's people who have rocked up who don't know what's happening. What's my time? What's my time? I actually, like, because I was laughing, didn't get a chance to press the time in it.

What did I... 58 seconds. 58 seconds. because I was laughing, didn't get a chance to press the time in it. 58 seconds. 58 seconds. 58, two off. Welcome to Thunderdome. I'm handing the microphone back to Anastasia. She's going to help you co-commentate this and I'm going all the way under today. I'm going to go all the way under. So even if you try to distract me with fake times, I won't hear it.

I'm not going to hear it. Oh God. I hope you're entranced. Here we go. I not going to hear it. Oh, God. I hope you're entranced. Here we go. I've got the timer ready. Good luck, me. Are you keeping your sunnies on? Yeah, for luck.

Okay. All right, when you're ready, I'll start the timer when you're completely submerged. Can we do it? Three, two, one, go. All right, the timer is on. Interesting technique he's going for. Imagine if I weed in here.

Also. He would never know. He would never know. I mean, he's fully under the water, though, so it's too late now. But weird seeing someone wearing full nice sunglasses underwater too. Do you reckon he's going to get the time? The time to beat is one minute. I'm not going to say what he's up to because I think that's cheating.

If he listens to this tomorrow, I want to be heard as a supportive friend. You just gave it away, so you think he's not. Oh, he's tapping. Why is he tapping? Yay, go Clint. You can do it. So you think he's not. Oh, he's tapping. Why is he tapping? Yay. Go, Clint. You can do it. You can do it.

This is the lamest thing ever. Yeah, it's just the two of us. Oh, what? What's my time? Did I do it? What's my time? 50 seconds. You're getting worse.

I think I need to do breathing exercises. ZM's Free and Clint, the podcast. If you enjoyed this podcast, why not give ZM's Fletchborn and Megan a listen too? Subscribe on the iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcasts. ZM.
