Kia ora everybody, and welcome to our podcast. Hello podcasters. This is the first time we've ever addressed you guys specifically. This is a podcast intro, that's what they call it. We're experimenting with it. What can you do on a podcast intro that you can't do on a show? Anything you want. You can swear.

You can swear, yeah. Can you? You can blimmin' swear if you want. Oh, you... You can flippin' swear. You're a bloody pussy, you couldn't even say a swear word. You can't say a swear word. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah, I can. Go swear word. You can't say a swear word. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I can. Go on then. Dipstick. That's my mum's go-to swear word when she wants to swear. She'll be like, oh, you bunch of dipsticks. You dipsticks.

And my mum just say dickhead. It's not even that bad. Well, I love that swear word. We'll warm up to swearing. Yeah. We'll warm up to swearing in a couple of episodes. We're not going to swear too much. But you can say, I love the swear word dickhead. Dickhead. Oharing. Yeah. We'll warm up to swearing in a couple of episodes. We're not going to swear too much, but you can say, I love the swear word dickhead. Dickhead.

Oh, you're such a dickhead. But you can use that. Can you? I reckon you could call someone a dickhead in court. You reckon? I reckon that'd be fine. I mean, depends who you're in court with. You know what?

This is good. We're using this podcast intro the way it's intended. We're like, hey, it'll be good. We can do whatever we want. We'll just get in there and it'll just be us and the podcasters, the special listeners. You know what we should do? We should sing that song that we came up with for the podcast.

Oh. Well, that depends. Is there a song on the start of the podcast? No, they're about to get one. Oh, right. But that's the show song. One song a day. Okay, one song a day.

So is that it? That's it. All right. Here's the podcast. Good intro. Okay, one song a day. So is that it? That's it. All right, here's the podcast. Good intro. No, it wasn't. Zed-in. Let's go, go, go.

Now let me see you dance. Zed-ins, Brie and Clint. Oh my gosh. Hello, 3pm. We're back, everybody, and we're here at a brand new time. Have we been promoted or have we just been given extra work and told that it's a promotion? What are you talking about?

My name's PJ. Oh, yeah, and I'm Jase. You're Jase, and we've just swapped accents. No, ZM has a new setup. The whole family is still here this year. Jase and PJ are launching ZM's Weekend Breakfast. You can catch them every Saturday and Sunday morning now and you get an extra hour of this,

the Bree and Clint show. Just an extra hour of unorganised chaos. Which is great because it brings forward the special song that we wrote over our holiday to launch the new show at the new time. You know the song we've been practising? Yep. I'm so glad we get to do it here now.

I know. We've had all summer to practise it in one and two. And one, two, three, four. Here we are again. 3pm. Just you, me and us. I and some men. It's nice to be here.

Back. Oh, are you doing the extended version? Yeah, sorry. I should have told you that before. Oh, you're doing the non-radio edit. Oh, you've got to tell me if that's what we're doing. So now that we've gotten rid of all our listeners at three, what are we going to do?

We, believe it or not, are a radio show on our first day back who's going to talk about New Year's resolutions. Yes. But this is different. New Year's resolutions. Yes. But this is different. Surely it's different. It's super different. You want to talk about a New Year's resolution that you've made? Which I didn't realise that I had made.

Yeah. But now I'm in this situation where people are taking bets on my New Year's resolution. Oh, good. And I assume they're betting on you failing. Yes, they are. Okay, you can find out what Bree's New Year's resolution is next. This is Jonas Blue with Jack and Jack.

Bree and Clint, back for 2019. ZM. Bree and Clint. It is a new year and we've got a new start time, so we're on at 3pm now, which is great. It is great. And I figure that's enough for me for my New Year's resolutions.

What? Starting work earlier. Work harder. Which I'm kind of forced to do that now. I worked it out last night. If our old work hours were four to seven, three hours, and they've added an extra hour on, our workload has increased by 33%.

I mean, we're achieving. Look at us go. It's great. I'm not someone who makes a lot of New Year's resolutions though because I don't want to set myself up for disappointment. Set the bar low and then you can just flop over it come the end of the year. Or just don't set the bar at all.

No bar. No bar. You don't have to get over anything. No jumping involved whatsoever. I did once set a New Year's resolution that I wasn't going to straighten my hair for a whole year. What does that benefit? Benefits my hair.

How? Because it doesn't get damaged. Oh. By the hair straightener. Yeah. I lasted two weeks and obviously humidity in my hair because it? Because it doesn't get damaged by the hair straightener. I lasted two weeks and obviously humidity in my hair because it's curly don't mix. You and I have known each other for a year now and I think I've seen you with unstraightened hair once.

Just once. You were shocked. Yeah, but I thought it looked nice. No, you did not. It was like a beachy wave. No, you didn't. You looked sun-kissed. I thought you were going to say a beach whale.

You looked straight out of Summer Bay. I've accidentally made a New Year's resolution this year without even realising that I've done it. Oh, yeah. And it's something. Keto. You're going keto. It's not keto, but it does have to do with my diet.

Oh, don't be paleo. Paleo is very 2015. Nah. I, and this is a big part of me as a human being, this is going to be big, this is going to be shocking for you, have given up Uber Eats. Oh, my God. I've deleted the app.

It's gone. I'm around 14 days in. Now, let's reflect on that number. You are not 14 days in. Now, let's reflect on that number. You are not 14 days in. Okay. You have been living in country Queensland, rural Australia, where Uber Eats can't reach you. Still counts.

For the first two weeks of this year. That still counts. But you couldn't use it. Now, you've been back in New Zealand for, and I picked you up from the airport, 48 hours. Yep. You've been there for 48 hours? Mm-hmm.

And have you used Uber Eats yet? I have not re-downloaded the app. No? It's gone. Okay. Well, congratulations. Thank you, guys. I'm here to support you in everything that you do.

However, however. However what? I just feel like a year is a long time. I didn't say I was going to do it for a year. Then why is it a New Year's resolution? It's not. It just happened around New Year's time. So technically it's kind of like a...

This is me making excuses. What is the resolution? So what's happened is to do it as long as I can. I will not have Uber Eats for as long as I can. People. That is very open-ended.

My friends have started a betting pool. They are now placing bets on when I'm going to fail. I want to do that. I want to place bets. I want to get in. And I want to give you, when's the first time we're going to have a couple of beers together? I thought you said you were going to support me.

Friday night. I give you till Friday night. I reckon we have a beer after the show on Friday and then you'll get home and you'll go, oh, I could really do some pasta. I bet there's so many people out there that would go, oh, I probably should delete that too. Oh, $800 at him.

Let's do this as a group. Let's take bets as a group. What, bet on when I'm going to fail? How long will Bree's Uber Eats abstinence last for? This is so mean. Her vow of abstinence from the Uber Eats food delivery app last for. And maybe you support Bree. Maybe you want to call through with words of encouragement and say,

nah, girl, you got this. New year, new you. Maybe you want to call through and you want to take the bet with me. Maybe you want to delete your Uber Eats with me. No one wants to do that. You can place a bet now. And if you get it right, hell, you might even win something. Brie will shout your Uber Eats.

Oh, $800 at him. Brie and Clint. So it's a new year. It's always the same me because I don't want to disappoint myself. So I don't usually make New Year's resolutions. I think they're stupid because I don't have any motivation. Well, you know yourself. I really like your theory of not setting yourself up to fail.

And I'm okay with that. It's the right thing to do. Like if you want to go to the gym more, be realistic. If you don't go to the gym now, don't say, I'm going to go five times a week next year. Don't because you'll just be disappointed. Say, I'm going to go once next year. And if you do, that's 100% improvement on the year prior.

You always win. You always win. It's great and that's how we should all live our lives. But I've accidentally made one where I've made a choice and I feel like this is a pretty big deal for me where I've deleted the one person that's always there for me, technically not a person. Uber Eats, it's an app, deleted it.

I'm getting rid of it. Yeah. You rely on that app. Like it's not just... I know my delivery drivers around my area. That's how much I use it. I think they know you by name as well. Some interesting questions are coming through on the text machine about this.

Bree, what happens when a friend is placing an order on their account? Does that count? Like if I order some, are you allowed to eat some? Doesn't count. Also, this isn't great for me because I used to eat a lot of the Uber Eats that you would order. So now all of a sudden I'm not so keen on your New Year's resolution. This is what my flatmates said.

They were like, oh, so does that mean there's no more pasta Sundays? And I was like, yes, that's what it means. Kate on 0800 dial ZM. Kate, how do you think Bree's going to go with this? No Uber Eats in 2019. I reckon that she'll last until Valentine's Day. Now that can be interpreted a couple of ways, Kate. Why do you think Valentine's Day will be the tipping point?

I mean, you know, it's happened to all of us. We haven't had a Valentine. And it's just, for some people, I'm not saying you, Bree, but for some people it can be quite a bad time of year. You think Bree's going to need to eat her feelings? I mean, it's happened to the best of us. Kate, the hard part for me is I do that every day of the year. What's also nice is that this far out, a whole month out,

Kate has absolutely no faith in you getting a Valentine. Like, she's already locked it in. Yeah, Kate, what the hell? Start prepping now. Prove me wrong, girl. So technically, I need a date or else I'm going to lose my New Year's resolution bet. Yeah. One other person who wants to join you on this.

Hi, AJ. Hi, AJ. How's it going? You've made an equally reckless New Year's resolution. Is that right? Yeah, I'd say so. I mean, the rate I'm going, basically I need to cut the energy drinks out

because I'm having about two to three a day. Yeah, that's a really good one. I'd say yours is more of an addiction. Bree thinks she's addicted to Uber Eats. Oh no, mine's an addiction. No, AJ's body is dependent on that truckload of sugar that he's getting each day, I think. Mine is dependent on carbs. How are you going, AJ?

Are you cold turkey or are you tapering off slowly? So I had a bit of a truck up my sleeve. So I went to like Thailand. And in Thailand, the energy drinks there are just not the same. Yeah. And also I got really sick with dengue fever. Oh, great to make. I had no choice.

I had to cut them out. And then when I got back, I didn't really miss them. So I was like, okay, let's just see if we can make the whole year without them or at least just like maybe even one a week. One a week. When it's really absolutely needed. Oh, well, good on you. So what I'm getting from AJ is that I need to have a similar technique and just get a tapeworm.

I think if you get dengue fever, Uber Eats is the last thing you're going to feel like. True. Yeah. That's a great tactic. Hey, kia kaha, Bree. Good luck. Thanks, mate.

I'll need it. Bree and Clint. Turo Turo. Spark.com. Good luck. Thanks, mate. I'll need it. Bree and Clint. The hottest and the most flexible correspondent coming out of Hollywood. It's Dean McCarthy. Hello, sir. Oh, Bree and Clint. Hello, everyone.

Hello, New Zealand. I'm so pumped to be chatting with you every day. This is the best. We're really happy to have you here, Dean. You are in Los Angeles full time. You know what's going on. And we're starting off today with a story about J-Lo, right?

Okay, yes, I've got a story about J-Lo and this is just because I just want to remind us all how poor we're all going to feel after you know, this story airs. J-Lo bought an apartment in New York City, right, for $13 million, right? It's not even a penthouse, like just an apartment. You know, measly $4,000. One bedroom.

She's now, yeah. One of those onesly 4,000 square foot. One bedroom. She's now re... Yeah. One of those ones with the laundry in the kitchen. I love those. Yeah. Yeah, hot. It has one of those fold-down beds in the living room. You know where you can...

Yeah, yeah. It's very J-Lo. It's fold-down from the ceiling. Yeah. Yeah, very nice. It's different. It's unusual. But this apartment, right, she bought it for $13 million.

She's now reselling it for $17 million three months later. They are putting a $4 million price tag increase because it was J-Lo's New York City crib. And they're going to get it. Apparently, this is like, it's now like an historical penthouse. Like, this is something that everyone wants to live in. That is ridiculous. That's incredible that the power of J-Lo can increase it by $4 million. She's just done a side business

where she just goes and sleeps at people's houses for a couple of nights and then she gets a cut of the retail, the real estate profits. I think she did that. That's amazing.

Hey, Dean, also there's a new most liked picture on Instagram. What's going on? Okay, this is just so petty. I wanted to talk about this because this is just so petty. I wanted to talk about this because this is a new low. Okay, there was a group of people that thought it was so ridiculous that Kylie Jenner's photo, her first photo of Stormi, and it's actually just a photo

of Stormi's hand, had had 15 million likes on Instagram. So they created a page simply and only to beat Kylie Jenner's record. The page is called World Record Egg. It's on Instagram. It's a picture of an egg. And they say this, let's set a world record together and get the most liked picture on Instagram beating Kylie Jenner's record.

And they've just beat it. 19 million people decided to be petty and like a photo of an egg just to beat Kylie Jenner's photo. I literally just like the picture. It's just a picture of an egg just to be Kylie Jenner's photo. I literally just like the picture. It's just a picture of an egg. It's 20 million now. It's up to 20 million.

20 million. 20 million likes. What's the account? It's world underscore record underscore egg. You know what I'm excited about? What? When that egg launches its lip kits. Oh, that's going to be amazing.

You know what other is a really saucy account is Dean McCarthy's. Lots of shirtless photos of you, Dean. We may have the best looking contributor of any radio show in New Zealand. No, maybe the world in 2019. Plug that one as well, Bree. What's his handle? At Mr. Dean McCarthy.

Is that right, Dean? Oh, that's it. And look, I don't want to plug my own Instagram, but it's Mr. M-R, not the word, just M-R, Dean McCarthy. Yeah that's it. And look, I don't want to plug my own Instagram, but it's MrMR, not the word, just MR, Dean McCarthy. Yeah, good. Whatever you do, make sure you don't plug your Instagram, okay? We love you, Dean. He's on with us every day. That is our Hollywood correspondent, Dean McCarthy.

That egg account, 1.7 million followers. Wow. Wow. Great hair. Bree and Clint, Zed here. Bree and Clint. Hey, welcome to a new year where New Zealand, allegedly, has banned the plastic bag. Well, you've just got back to the country. You haven't even

been part of this yet. Yeah, but it's happening in Aussie too. 2019, no more plastic bags in supermarkets, allegedly. Yeah, but can I say, my countdown has been doing this for about four months. So I've already been on the bandwagon. I've already been trained and prepped and I've remembered my bags once. I remember talking to you in March last year and you were so anti the plastic bag ban. Your words were, it's such a pain in the ass. What if I just need to shoot into the supermarket?

You now live across the road from a supermarket. So you're fine. You're fine. I can get it would be annoying until you get into the habit, but I totally get that. The bit that I don't get is now that the plastic bag ban is here, if you get to the supermarket and you get to the checkout and you haven't bought your reusable bags,

you can now buy a plastic bag for 15 cents. Yeah, but it's a bigger bag and not as many are used. It's a thicker bag that is probably more damaging to the environment. I don't know how bags work, but. Surely I think it's some sort of recyclable. Recyclable? No. Recyclable?

Recyclable? Recyclable. Recyclable. No, that's the other thing. It's not. It's just a plastic bag. They banned plastic bags, but now they'll sell you a plastic bag. But the other thing they've done is supermarkets had this thing

where you could take all your old soft plastic, like plastic bags, to the supermarket and recycle them. Put it in that bin. On New Year's Day, they got rid of the soft plastic recycling. And you know what the reason was for getting rid of it? This is where it gets crazy and things will get more crazy as we transition to a new plastic free utopia. The reason they got

rid of the soft plastic recycling stations was it was too popular. What do you mean? Too many people were using it and they decided they couldn't no I guess rightly so they couldn't handle all the plastic that they were getting so they cancelled it and you decided they couldn't no, I guess rightly so. They couldn't handle all the plastic that they were getting. So they cancelled it. And you know what the

advice was? Sorry, this gets crazier and crazier. That we're working towards this thing where we recycle our plastic and all that. The advice was, you can't recycle your soft plastic anymore, so please just put it in the bin. But, you know what also doesn't make sense to me is that they still have plastic bags.

You know what my mum does? Yeah. And I told her that she's literally missing the point. Yeah. She will just go to the fruit and veggie place and just pick up, you know, the bags that you put your apples in. Yeah, yeah, yeah. She will just take like eight of them and she'll just put all of her stuff in those.

That's the mental bit. They don't put your groceries in a plastic bag at the checkout anymore, but they still expect you to put a whole bag of bananas in a plastic bag. I don't get it. I saw a lady get one onion the other day and she put it in a plastic bag. Just put it in your trolley. It's got a coat. It's got nature's plastic bag on it. Just put it in your trolley. It's got a coat. It's got nature's plastic bag on it.

Just take it home in that. It's got nature's plastic bag. The next thing to launch apparently is food in the nude. That's what they're calling it. So what is that? Produce that has no plastic on it. You know how you buy a cucumber and it's got like a cucumber condom on it? Yes.

Why does it need that, by the way? What are you doing to my cucumber between the farm and the supermarket that you need to put a protective sheath on it? Because cucumbers can get damaged. That's apparently why. As in they can hit a corner of something and... When they're driving to the supermarket.

I don't know, mate. On their cucumber commute. Anyway, apparently that is the next big trend is food and the supermarket. I don't know, mate. On their cucumber commute. Anyway, apparently that's the next big trend is food and the nude. Stay positive, Clint. Stay positive. Good. Mate, it's fine. Good.

We can wrap you in plastic if you want. Good luck, New Zealand, with this. We've got a long way to go. You've given up plastic. Sorry? Nothing. You've got a baby on the way. You've given up plastic. Sorry? Nothing. You've got a baby on the way. What? I'm just joking. I caught up with some mates over the holidays, Clint,

and we were reminiscing on old times, and one of my mates brought up this time that I got caught in a three-way phone call trap. Oh, damn it. No. I was like, oh, oh, oh, juicy alert. Get your mind out of the gutter. And I don't know if this happened to many other people,

which I think it was a thing back in the day. I think it was more of a landline thing. So I think you need to explain exactly what it is. Right. So a three-way phone call chat trap is where on the landline, you used to be able to call someone, start that phone call with that person, and then you could call another phone number

and it would bring another person onto the phone call without them knowing that someone else was on the other side of the phone call. So you might ring me and go, Oi, oi, I'm going to call Producer Ben and ask him what he thinks of you. You just stay quiet. Yeah, and then I would say, okay, hold there, and then I'd call Producer Ben and then if he picked up, you. You just stay quiet. Yeah. And then I would say, okay, hold there. And then I'd call producer Ben. And then if he picked up, you could hear our whole conversation.

I think you can do that on your cell phone now, but I think it rings in a different way to give you a, to give you warning that there's someone else on the line. So it actually, it's called a merge where you can merge a phone call on your iPhone. And it actually even says, I'm pretty sure there's a voice that says adding another call. You're being merged.

Yeah, or there's something that warns you that you're going onto another call. Yeah. But not back in the day. Not when there was landlines and you would call up your mate and you'd be like, oh, my God, I'm so over Jessica's crap. Like she's just so annoying. And then you would fall into the trap.

Her moustache is so offensive. She'd insta-wax it. She's only 11, but you can tell she's just so annoying and then you would freeze mustache is so offensive she didn't still wax it she's only 11 but you can tell she's italian you know what i mean you know and then that happened to me one time i got caught in this trap where one of my mates called me up and we were talking about it on the holidays and we were talking about this stupid fight that teenage girls have i think i think we were 14 and the other girl that we were talking about was on the other line and all I remember my friend saying is, see, I told you, Danny, I knew she was going to say that about you. That is some mean girl shit.

I did not know what was going on. I was caught in a blind side. It would happen a bit these days. I think maybe the modern equivalent of it is if you're on speaker, like if you do it on speaker with someone in the room, or if you call someone and they're in their car and it goes to Bluetooth hands-free and you just rip into it. You just start ripping into this other person and they go,

oh, funny, that person's in the car with me right now. Awkward. Or how awkward is it when like your parents are in the car with me right now. Awkward. Or how awkward is it when, like, your parents are in the car and you just keep, like, declining, like, a call because you know that person's usually, you know, not for parent time. What, one of your adult phone callers? Yeah. What do they usually call you about?

No, not me. Just to line you up for, hey, are we on for 9.30 tonight? We still on? What are you doing catching up with your friends at 9.30, Brie? Oh, nothing. You know, you get caught in those traps. We go to a 24-hour gym. They're a thing.

I want to hear from people this afternoon, though. Do you remember this happening to you back in the day when the landline was still about the three-way phone call trap? Did you ever get caught? Or maybe you've been caught in the modern equivalent as well. Or maybe the modern, yeah. I want to hear from people. 0800 dial ZM or you can text us on 9696.

When were you caught? Bree and Clint. We're discussing three-way phone call traps. Back in the day on the landline, this used to happen. It was on the Mean Girls movie. They actually did it on the Mean Girls movie where Regina calls up one of the girls and then she calls up one of the other girls and they're all on the three-way chat and then they start talking crap about someone yeah this happened

to me and i ran into one of the friends uh that was on the phone call i think i'm pretty sure it was the friend that i was actually talking crap about they set me up though can i say i missed that were you the one who did the shit talking? You weren't having it done about you Yeah so someone, one of my friends. They lured you into doing it. Yes she called me and started saying this stuff about our friend and I was just a follower

so I'd be like oh yeah But that's a classic case of you've got nothing nice to say then don't say anything because you never know if the other person is listening on the end of a three-way phone call trap. And we were trying to figure out what's the modern day version of that. I think it's when someone's on Bluetooth speaker and you don't know. And that can be done maliciously or not.

That's why when you pick up the phone, you've got to go, I've got so-and-so here in the car with me, just to preempt it. This happened to my friend on the holidays. I was sitting in her car and she was trying to organise some 420 blazer. Can I say that? Too late. It was in Australia.

It's legal over there, right? It's in Aussie and it wasn't me. Anyway, she was trying to call her friend because they were texting about it and she's like, oh, just call her. It'll be way easier. And her friend screened the call like five times and then eventually texted and said, my mum is in the car with me and you're on Bluetooth.

Stop calling me. Lisa, welcome to the show. Have you been caught in a three-way phone trap? Yeah, like back in the day, like when I was a kid. So I had this friend who was meant to be a good friend, but I picked up on her BS, like, pretty quickly. Yeah. So every time I got a boyfriend,

she would become really good friends with him, and then they would ring me. No way. And she would ask me all these questions, thinking I was going to be horrible or whatever, but I wasn't. Yeah. But then if you actually used to, like, press mute

and, like, be like, oh, I've got to go, sorry, and then press mute, and it would sound like you would hang up and then you could still sit there and you could still listen to them. And so that's what I would do. And so they would, like, think they were getting me, but then I would just pretend I had to go and then press mute and then I'd sit there listening to them talk shit and then, oh, sorry. That's all right.

Bree just said 420 blazer. Don't worry about that. You know what? This is the best part of being a grown-up adult is you don't have to pretend to be friends with those people anymore. You know? You've got all these frenemies from your past who when you hit a certain age, you just go, you know what?

I don't care anymore. I'm not going to change. Yeah. Right, okay. Where is she now? Where is she now, Lisa? Are you still friends with her? Obviously not. On Facebook, yes. But I don't know why is she now, Lisa? Are you still friends with her? Obviously not.

On Facebook, yes. But I don't know why I would, like, always take her back as a friend. Like, I don't know why I would, but that's okay. They've all been there, Lisa. I've got to take the friend bit out of Facebook friends because half the people on there you are not friends with. One more was producer Ben. Ben, you've kind of had almost the opposite.

You've been actively excluded from a three-way call? Yeah, just in the car with my partner a while ago. This was a while ago before she bought the house. So you were in the car with your girlfriend, Steph? Yeah, and her mum calls up, says, Hey, I just need to chat to you. And she says, Ben's on speaker in the car. She said, OK, I'll call back in another time if that's better.

I don't think it was bad, though, because it might have been about the house and about money though. Either way, she didn't want you to hear about it, mate. It's about the prenuptial agreement. We've just got to get Ben cut out of everything

as soon as possible. That's all we need to do. All right. Bree and Clint. I have a proposition for you. I believe I may have identified the sexiest man on earth. Okay.

I think I, through my powers of deduction and also powers of observation, I'm very in tune with the female and I think I can tell just from like looking at you guys and how you operate. Also living with one. I've got a semi-permanent arrangement with

one that I'm married to. Okay. Her name's Lucy. I think I've figured out who you guys like the most. You do often check out hot men. I see you looking quite often. Only for pointers. Only for like notes. That's what you tell us. Like integrate. I'll pick and choose. Pick and choose

bits. I'll integrate that into my lifestyle. Oh no. Probably shouldn't have said bits. Back to the results of my study. I was going through the line up for Coachella this year. Which has just come out., I was going through the lineup for Coachella this year, which has just come out. And I was going through and I was

like, oh yeah, Diplo, Dylan Francis, yeah, cool, cool, cool. Ariana Grande, hot but not a man. Then all of a sudden I saw someone deep down in the bill performing at Coachella, Idris Elba. Idris Elba, the actor,

and also the man who sings on the start of this Macklemore song. I challenge you to a dance off. That guy. Is that him? That's Idris Elba, Black James Bond, plays Luther, also from The Wire. He's performing at Coachella. He's a DJ.

He's a DJ. I didn't know he was a DJ. He's a DJ. I didn't know he was a DJ. He's like full house music, dance music DJ. Is there anything that that man can't do? I want to recreate for you the sound that my wife Lucy made when I told her that

Idris Elba was performing at, and she was already a fan. Okay. And I told her that he was performing at Coachella as a DJ. And it's hard. I wish I'd recorded it, but it went something like this. And I won't be able to do it perfectly because I am attracted to him, but not to the same level that I think her

and every other woman on earth is. I said, hey, babe, did you know Idris Elba is a DJ and he's performing at Coachella? And she went, oh, is there anything that man can't do? That's so weird because I was hanging out with your wife Lucy on Saturday. And she made the same noise about me? And you, no. You went off to buy beers and her and I were talking about Coachella.

Yeah. And she was like, She was like, no joke. If Idris approached me, I would. Did she say that? No, I didn't know if she said that. But we were talking about Idris Elba and how hot she thought he was. You know what?

But the thing is, if she did, I wouldn't blame her. I wouldn't blame her. He is so hot. You can be jealous of people that are in your realm. If they're in your sphere, if they are within two or three good-looking points of view, I think you can be jealous of people that are in your realm, you know? If they're in your sphere, if they are within two or three good looking points of you, I think you can be jealous of them. When someone is stratospherically better looking

than you, there's no point. The heart wants what the heart wants. I thought you were just saying you were in a couple of points like reach of Idris Elba. Oh no. He's in a whole different scale. So you agree with me that Idris Elba could be... He potentially...

...the sexiest man on earth? Producer Ellie, would you agree with me that Idris Elba could be the sexiest man on earth? Yeah. Yeah, he's pretty hot. Is that a little bit of you? Producer Ben, would you agree with me that Idris Elba could be the sexiest man on earth?

He probably could be if he wanted to, yep. Oh, he's scared to answer. Ben's just scared that Dean McCarthy, our Hollywood reporter, will hear this. Well, he's quite good looking too. That's at the top of Ben's list. If your girlfriend has approached you and said she wants Coachella tickets for her birthday, just be aware.

She has ulterior motives! Brie and Clint. I found out something today when we were going and getting lunch from you, Brie. Yeah, I'm not going to be working here very long after this if it doesn't get you fired it's going to get you a real decent

either bill or written warning so why are we talking about it on the radio because that's what we do yeah we put ourselves in the line of fire for the good of the content

that's the selfless people we are we use our lives to keep you entertained you're welcome tell everybody what you did which if any heads of the company are listening to at the moment, they will be none too pleased.

It's hypothetical if anyone from the company is listening. So here at ZM, we get a work phone. Yes. We all get work phones and Spark, which are the best company in New Zealand, I love them, they give us all these work phones or there's a deal that's done through them and we get to use these work phones for free. We don't get a bill and we don't have to pay for our iPhone. Which is great.

There is on occasion if you use too much data on your phone, you can get an email saying… Throttle it back. Yeah. Yeah. So over the holiday break, I went to Aussie, went back home for a month, didn't organise what phone I was going to use,

and I used my work phone on global roaming for a whole month. Now, she says on global roaming. Don't let that make you think she organised a data pack because she didn't. She just used her normal phone plan globally. Do you know how much data you used? I didn't, but I checked just before we went on air and it was 35 gigs.

35 gigs! We're going to call Spark right now and try and calculate what your data charges would be. I don't want to know. Hi, Spark, this is Mia speaking to Maya. Hi, Maya. Hey, I was wondering if you could just help me calculate some global roaming data charges.

Data charges, yep. Yeah, so I've got my friend Bree here. Hi there. Hi. So she's used her phone in Australia. No, it's hypothetically.

Oh, she knows someone who might have used their phone in Australia over Christmas. Yeah. And they used how much data? 35 gigs. 35 gigs.

Okay. And you didn't purchase any like add-ons-ons no i don't believe my friend did if you purchase the add-on the package like 20 package it gives gives you 500 megabytes for 20 but if you didn't purchase any add-ons you get charged on casual rate. So let's say $10 is for 200 megabytes. Yeah. So one gigabyte will be $50. Yeah.

Yeah, so 50 times how many gig did you use again? $35. Yeah. So we're looking at $1,750 of data charges. Wait, times 10? Yeah. Oh, yeah. $, times 10? Yeah. Oh, yeah. 1,750.

Yeah. I'm so glad this is a hypothetical and not something that someone actually did on their holiday. Thanks for your help. Big help, Maya. No problem. All right.

You're screwed. Bree and Clint. New year, new game. Bree and Clint. Come back here. Bree and Clint. New year, new game. Bree and Clint. Comeback Heroes. Oh, that is like the songbird of our generation. What a beautiful angel that is.

That's the voice of our producer, Ellie. Oh, amazing stuff. Hang on, there's a true test. Ellie, do you think you could recreate that for us live? How much auto-tuning is on there? None at all, obviously. It's natural. Go on. Hit it, girl.

Callback Heroes. She's got it, eh? She's not the place. Yeah, we like that. Tell us what Callback Heroes is, Bree. So essentially, this game is all about who would you call to save your life? Right. One call between life and death

so you have to make a call to someone you have to tell them they need to call you back in 30 seconds yeah but you don't tell them that you're playing a game okay if they call back they save your life hypothetically if they don't you're dead so it's someone you know right you're calling someone out of your contacts. Yes. You've got to go, who in my life do I trust the most? Exactly. So we're going to take turns over the next however many weeks

calling someone that we think and hope will call us back within 30 seconds. Straight away, my mind goes to mum. I'd call my mum. Yeah, but that's too easy. Well, isn't that the idea? Yeah, I guess. Are you banning mums though? I'm banning mums.

Fine, okay. Mums and dads are off the table. You kick it off for the first one and show us how it works. Who are we calling from your phone book for callback heroes? Okay, we're going to call my flatmate Annabelle, who I don't call often, but we're going to see if she can bring home the goods. Good luck. Hey, good luck.

Thank you. Hey, girl. Hey, girl. Hey. What are you doing? What's up? I am just on my way to a Ricky. Oh, hey.

Hold on one sec. What? Ross has just walked in. Can you call me back in 30 seconds? Quick, call me back. I need to talk to you. Call me back in 30 seconds, okay? Okay. Okay, bye.

Start the timer. So if she doesn't call back in 30 seconds... I die, metaphorically. I get to pull the trigger on this metaphorical gun. Yes. And if she does call back... I get a point. You get a point. And she saves my life. Okay, cool. At the end of this game, the winner shoots

the loser. Okay. She's got 15 loser. Okay. She's got 15 seconds. Okay. Oh, come on, Annabelle. No one is sitting there looking at it, though. No one is sitting there looking at the time. She's calling back!

She's calling back! Yes! Well, are you going to pick it up? Yes, she's done it! She's done it. You just metaphorically saved my life. That's all I needed you for. I'll explain later.

Okay. All right. Bye. Bye. God, this game is incredibly confusing for the poor people who we call. No idea what that was about. Congratulations. You've taken the first point. I'm happy with that.

Over the summer break, I spend a bit of time at home and, you know, I was like, oh, I'll do some DIY. I'll clean up the yard. You're so mask. I'll get out there. Look at you. I'll chop down some trees. I did chop down a tree. Like I walked into the studio and I was like, god, manly. That's man musk. Is it?

That's from me working in the yard. You should see my T-shirt tan. Anyway, we've got a palm tree in the backyard and there's this big, like, palm frond that had half come down and I was like, oh, get up there and remove that, you know, go break it down. It's dangerous. Get up there. Get composted.

Got my mate around. Better get up there and compost it. I needed someone to hold the ladder for me. I go up the ladder and I go to pull down this palm frond and a bloody possum runs out of it. In suburban West Auckland, a giant brush tail possum emerges. Not native to New Zealand. No, but a very severe pest.

Do you know how they came over to New Zealand? On their OE and then loved the place so much they decided to stay? Bit like other visitors. Yeah. No. They got a job at a local radio station, paired with a dangerously handsome and very funny co-host. No, haven't heard that story.

No? Okay. No. It was actually when they did the fur trade and there was this massive fur trade happening in Aussie and this guy thought he would bring possums over to New Zealand and make heaps of money and then they just absolutely ran wild and now you've got heaps of possums here.

Oh, I've been doing a lot of possum research in this time too. The reason they're so rampant is they have no predators. We have no predators. They're like apex predator. They just go out there and eat kiwis and stuff like KFC. How is a possum an apex predator? Because of our country. It's so fair.

I guess that's true. Our birds don't even fly, okay? There is very little competition. We've got spiders that eat possums in Australia. Anyway, I'm at the top of this ladder and a possum climbs out. And it wasn't a small possum either. You saw it. It's a big possum.

Yeah. It was bigger than my cats. And so I freak out, almost fall off the ladder in a very manly way and almost break my neck. Did it hiss at you? No,

so not initially. It sort of just stood there frozen. And so all of a sudden I thought, oh cute, we've got a possum for a flatmate now. We've got three pets, two cats and a possum. And Lucy was all about that.

We started naming it. People were messaging me going, you've got to get rid of that possum, mate. It will gut your cats alive. Really? Yeah, because of the claws on it. They said if it gets in a fight with that, that thing will just – Rip it open? It'll rip it open.

And I thought, that seems a bit rough. I went outside that night to check on the possum to just see like what it was up to and there it was standing on top of the palm tree again looking directly at me with its beady possum eyes and it went from being cute in the daytime to being absolutely terrifying and what made it more terrifying was I went over to it with my snapchat with the flash on and as soon as I pushed it to record it, I heard this noise. That is the sound that a possum makes when it's angry.

Yeah, back down. It's a bit similar to the sound producer Ellie makes when she's angry. Anyway, long story short, decided the possum had to go Tried to trap it Possum coddled on to me what I was doing And moved on

It's a happy ending Didn't have to kill a possum in the end I wonder where it went though I don't know where it went It might come back We have no idea what's happening with the possum saga Is that your first run in with a possum? Yeah, 100%

You've never seen one before? No Really? But I have been inundated with Well, not alive I've seen them dead on the road Right I have been inundated with, well, not alive. I've seen them dead on the road. Right. I've been inundated with possum stories since then.

Someone messaged me and said that their mum had a possum living in their backyard. She woke up one morning and the possum was in bed with her. She thought it was the cat. She reached over and started brushing the cat. She goes, oh, the cat feels weird. Had a look. There's a possum in her bed. I thought you were going to say, nah, that's the name of the guy that she goes, oh, the cat feels weird. Hannah, look, there's a possum in her bed. I thought you were going to say, nah,

that's the name of the guy that you picked up the night before. I thought we can take some calls this afternoon on 0800DALZM. What's your possum experience? Have you had a run-in with a possum? Maybe you've got a pet possum. Yeah, I love those stories. I don't hate on them. They are pests, but I don't hate them. Maybe you've got a positive possum story Yeah, I love those stories. I don't hate on them. They are pests, but I don't hate them.

Maybe you've got a positive possum story you want to share with us this afternoon. I'd love to hear from the people. 0800 dial ZM. What's your possum story? Share it with us. Brian Clint. Listen to this. This is not a nice noise, by the way.

I'm just warning you. That is the sound of an angry brush-tailed possum, the same kind of possum that I found living in my backyard just after New Year's. Crazy, right? Crazy. Well, I think crazy. It had a lot of nipples.

I saw big, juicy, big, juicy, excuse me, not some kind of possum pervert. How dare you? I saw big, juicy possum nips, but I didn not some kind of possum pervert. How dare you? I saw big, juicy possum nips, but I didn't see any babies. They normally hang on the back, right? Do they? Yeah. Anyway, I thought I was going to have to get all farmer on it

and kill a possum, which I didn't want to do. But for the sake of looking after my animals, I knew what had to be done. Luckily, the possum decided to leave of its own accord and I didn't have to follow through. I did put the whole thing on Instagram. The number of country people who messaged me going, this is the most townie shit I have ever seen.

Yeah, because I literally, I think I messaged you because I had an encounter with a possum on holiday. Yeah, yours is very different to mine. Yeah, my uncle on Christmas Day goes, come down here, come down here. And they live on property. He goes, I want you to feed my pet possum. And I was like, what are you talking about? He's always drunk. And he made me climb up this ladder to this tree. No joke. He goes, I've been feeding this possum for eight years. This little possum comes out of the tree,

grabs a little bit of lamington. I saw your Insta story. It was very cute. That's the difference between possums in Australia and possums in New Zealand. They're a pest here and they're protected over there. Weird, hey? So we want to know, on 0800DALZM, what's your possum experience? Rob, what happened?

Yeah, so back in ancient times, when the pyramids were being built, I think it was 04, the old boy decided, oh, I'll go for a shoot, and he comes back with a little baby possum. Yeah. And, oh, let decided I'll go for a shoot and he comes back with a little baby possum and oh

let's just keep it for a while I think we had it for probably about 12 months and like probably one of the best pets you could probably have

yeah loves to climb obviously obviously place it on the floor runs a couple of metres and then goes from your foot to your head

as fast as it can and it would just sit there all day. Climbs up you. I hate to ask, Rob, what happened to the possum? We moved from the back of Rotorua, from there to Hamilton, and we decided to drop him off at Rainbow Springs. Yeah, that's fair enough. No one wants to live in Hamilton. Not even a possum.

Thanks, Rob. Hi, Caitlin. Hiya. What's your possum experience, Caitlin? Um, so when I was younger, my dad used to have been quite a bit, so he found a young possum that had baby possums and brought me home some pet possums.

Someone brought, yeah. They lasted a wee while, and then I had a P1 that used to cuddle up and stuff like that, and then one day he decided to watch my ear and guess my name. Oh, Caitlin, we can't hear you, mate. I'm really sorry. Sounds like your phone's been attacked by a possum. Thank you for calling, though.

One more. Hi, Maria. Hi. How are you doing? What's your possum experience? Now, we've just had a couple of, I think, couple of good, though. One more. Hi, Maria. Hi. How are you doing? What's your possum experience? Now, we've just had a couple of, I think, a couple of good positive possum experiences. Mine wasn't so positive.

Also, I was told a story by someone who woke up with a possum in their bed. What happened to you? Yeah, nice to hear that. Yeah. We live up at Park Road, so they're just common as muck up here. Yeah. And we'd taken this Christmas cake out. We'd drive up on Christmas night,

and it was in like a big kind of open pantry. We were all just scuffling around. It's a big open-plan house. So we flipped the light on. There's this huge, big possum sitting on the top of the Christmas cake, eating this great big marzipan Christmas cake. My partner just got up out of bed,

carried the whole cake and the possum outside, sat it on the wall by our deck. And the next morning, we'd get up and the possum was lying on its side, groggy as, and it didn't take off and scurry off. It took it up a day because the cake was loaded with booze. You got a possum absolutely wasted at Christmas. Yeah, it was just lying on its side,

like its eyes were open and he's just like lying on its side and we're like, don't poke the bear, don't poke the bear. And we kept going up to it and he was just lying on its side, like its eyes were open, and he's just like lying on its side, and we're like, don't poke the bear, don't poke the bear, and we keep going up to it, and he's just lying on its side too groggy to move. He was dead. That's so weird, because the exact same story happened, but it was my Aunty Cheryl. That possum's steamed. Someone call him an Uber.

Too much trifle for Cheryl. Oh, fantastic. If my possum is listening, miss you, babes. Kind of. Don't come back, but miss you, babes. Free and Clint. Hey. It's my birthday.

It's my birthday. Free and Clint's birthday banger. This could be your first time hearing birthday banger. Yeah, maybe you only listen to ZM between five and six and you don't even know what it is. Maybe you sold your Holden Commodore over Christmas and you no longer feel like listening to The Rock and you thought, hey, maybe I'll try those ZM between five and six and you don't even know what it is. Maybe you sold your Holden Commodore over Christmas and you no longer feel like listening to The Rock and you thought, hey, maybe I'll try those ZM guys out.

This is super popular on our show and it's where you guys get to call up and you give us your birthday and then we put it into a big radio computer that we found down in the basement here at ZM and it figures out what was actually number one and top in the charts on your 16th birthday. We then deliberate and we play our favourite of those three songs.

Ultimately, we're the judges here, right? Yes. It rests with us what song gets played. Let's find out, first of all, what Chantel's birthday banger is. Hi, Chantel. Hi. Hey. What's your birthday, Chantel?

Oh, don't worry. I wasn't listening at all. She's actually closer to my age. She's only two years younger than me. Hi, AJ. Hi, AJ. Hi, AJ. How's it going, mate? Good, mate.

Yeah! This is crazy. But here's my number. This has got AJ written all over it, doesn't it? Oh, mate, you've heard the stories, have you? Quite like AJ. I'm just picturing AJ pulling his top up and then just singing around the lounge room.

I'm picturing AJ taking his belt out and swinging it around his head in like a lasso manoeuvre. I'm picturing AJ naked. The motorists around me are not impressed with me at the moment. All right. Well, let's see if we can play your birthday banger. One more to do, and that's for Amy. Hi, Amy.

and Swing, get this in ya. Get it in ya. Bree and Clint, ZM. Bree and Clint. How gutted were you, producer Ellie, when you saw, and I know you frequent this festival, it's your favourite festival, Rhythm and Vines, in their iconic Countdown video, used Freddie Mercury and his Live at Wembley stuff.

I am so dark about it. Because the only thing you love more than having a bender at Rhythm and Vines is Freddie Mercury. I couldn't believe I wasn't there for that. Oh, right. I was going to say. Yeah, the whole crowd going, eh, oh, bad, oh, the whole thing.

And I wanted to do it. I know. And I wasn't there. I was wondering why you were so dark on it. And I was like, I don't understand. No, I just, because I watched the video as well. That video that RMV put out is iconic. And they put it out for everybody to watch a few days later.

And I just pictured Ellie in her lounge. She's like, shit, I need to scull six long whites. And really get into the moment. Responsibly. Responsibly. Of course. And then watch this video. See, that movie, the Freddie Mercury Queen biopic,

Bohemian Rhapsody, won the Golden Globe for best film. Yeah, I saw that. It's going gangbusters. God, I really need to see it. It deserved it. And there was a lot of people who I remember when it came out and they were like, it's not Yeah, I saw that. It's going gangbusters. God, I really need to see it. It deserved it. And there was a lot of people who I remember when it came out and they were like, it's not accurate and this and that. Yeah, but I mean, it's not a documentary.

It's doing good things for the band. They're all making a huge amount of money out of it. And I read today Freddie Mercury's former fiancé has made $75 million in royalties off the film. What? I didn't know Freddie Mercury had a fiance but I've done some reading Have you seen the film? No I haven't Is she in it?

Yes Well good, good that she's making some money. Yeah she features quite prominently. Well for those people like me who haven't seen it can I just explain who she is? Go on. So her name is Mary Austin.

Mary Austin. And she was engaged to Freddie when she was 19. And after a few years, apparently he said to her, I think I might be bisexual. And she said to him, I think you're gay. So they stayed really good friends though. To the point that when he knew he was dying, he wrote in his will that she should get 50%

of all of his future earnings. So everything that he earned after he died, she got 50% of. He also wrote in that when his parents passed away, because he left them 25% of everything that he was earning. This is Freddie Mercury from Queen. When his parents passed away, she got their 25%. Really?

So to this day, he earned, well, she does, Freddie Mercury's former fiancee, Mary Austin, earned 75% of everything that Freddie Mercury has owed. Yeah, it's really sweet in the movie, actually. You see that he loved her, but he obviously wasn't in love with her. Like I said, I've really got to see this movie. You really have to see it.

I didn't know he had a fiancée. No, it's in the movie. We're just sitting here and I was about to turn the microphones on and over there my mate goes, I think I might be gluten intolerant. That's not how I sound. It is when you said it before. I think I am gluten intolerant.

Why? What are your symptoms? Well, I get pains in my stomach after I eat certain things. You eat a lot though when you do eat. Okay. It can be like, oh, I need to eat too much food. Yeah. Yeah.

And then I get these weird like pimply things on my arm. Yeah. I don't think I have them at the moment, but it's usually on the back of my arm, yeah. When's the last time you had some gluten? A couple of hours ago. You hit Subway for lunch. Yeah.

Anything else? Yeah, and then I had some garlic knots from Sal's. Hang on, we had garlic bread for afternoon tea for your birthday. It was delicious. Yeah, and how's your tummy? Yeah, it hurts. But you've had quite a lot. Like I said, you've had quite a lot.

No, I had two garlic knots. Have you garliced? Have you Googled what the symptoms of gluten intolerance is? Because I think it's more like poo yourself and eczema and lethargia. No, I'm saying I'm intolerant, not the other ones. Not celiac. Yeah. Okay, Google gluten intolerance symptoms.

I bet there'll be people on the text machine. Because if it's full tummy, I don't think you're gluten intolerant. Symptoms. The eight most common – oh, no, that's food intolerances. Good, it's live diagnosisances. It's good. It's a live diagnosis. You should never Google stuff like this, though. Yeah, you go, do I have gluten intolerance?

Oh, and then I'll end up just thinking, oh, no, look, I've got cancer. Yeah, well done. How good is it being back from holidays? Oh, it's the best. It is the best. You know what I hate? What? Relaxing.

Me too. You know what really peeves me off? What? Waking up whenever I feel like it. Speaking of holidays though. Says the guy who starts work at three o'clock, by the way. Exactly. Shut up.

Yeah. A lot of people over the holidays would have had to take in flights to places to see family, to go on holidays. Yeah, thank God they called off the Air New Zealand strike. Yeah, that was just in time, wasn't it? Oh, I really saved Christmas, that one. There's a big mistake that an airline has made where a bunch of people have bought business class

and first class tickets for pretty much nothing. What airline? Cathay Pacific. Oh, that's a nice airline too. So the fancy one. A lot of airlines don't even have first class. You have to be a pretty bougie airline to even have first class. Air New Zealand only has business class.

They've got premium economy and then business. No. There is no first class. They've got first class now. Do they? The new planes. I was on one that came back to Auckland and it literally has all three. I wonder if you can get in there with a Kuri membership. No, mate. As a Kuri member, I'll find out.

First class tickets cost like $16,000. Tell me about this Cathay Pacific one. So essentially what happened is this airline put up this massive special just before New Year's saying this is a once in a lifetime deal and they thought they were putting up cheap tickets. They didn't

realise they were putting up the cheapest first class tickets ever. Really does sound like the deal of a lifetime. So essentially, people bought business class and first class seats from Vietnam to New York, which literally go around for $16,000. That's how much you pay for a first class seat. Yeah. People bought them for around $950.

Oh, that's fantastic. The50. Oh, that is fantastic. The best. Oh, that is so good. And so what happened was is all these people were snapping up these tickets and the airline realised they'd made a mistake probably 12 hours later. Yeah. So then they've pretty much, they've put up a tweet saying, hey guys, we realised that our New Year's Day special

was a little bit too good to be true. It was actually a mistake. But we're not going to revoke it. We're going to actually give you all of those flights. That's good. Because some airlines do that and they, like, miss a zero or something and then they just delete your flights and refund your money. Yes.

That is so good of them to follow through on, huh? But let's be real. No one on that plane would probably be using those first class flights anyway. Why not? Because no one can afford first class. No, no, but imagine they can. Imagine like there's someone rich enough who needs to get from Vietnam to New York and he goes, oh, I hate flying regular people airline.

There's no private jets. He gets on a camper, he goes to first class and there's 50 bums like us going. There's me going, can you get the vino down here? More free booze. More free booze. Can I go and visit the pilot? Can you just, first class, can you just go toilet in your seat and someone else will clean it up?

That would work. Thanks very much. Sweet. How about this story about this kid who sold his kidney to get an iPhone? Have you read that? It is crazy. How badly do you want a new iPhone? Look at your phone an iPhone. Have you read that? It is crazy. How badly do you want a new iPhone? Like, look at your phone right now.

What have you got? You've got a... It's like a 7. You've got a 7. I think. You don't even need a new one. But it's full. Yeah, we'll delete some stuff.

Storage full. You just want the one that doesn't have a button on it, right? Because that's what the, like the X. No, I hate that one. Oh, really? I just want the latest. Well, then the 7 is the phone for you. But what about the 8?

Yeah, no. First world problems. First world problems. This kid, when he was 17, sold a kidney. A kidney. So he could get an iPhone 4. Oh, and an iPad. So he got rid of one of his body parts to get the latest iPhone.

So I read about this story. He sold his kidney on the black market for how much was it? $4,800. And with that, he bought an iPhone 4. Yeah, and an iPad too. And an iPad. Now, it's a really sad story because the operation was done in such bad conditions. He got a real bad infection from it.

He's got kidney failure. Yeah. The other kidney doesn't Yeah, he can't move. The other kidney doesn't work, and he's bedridden for the rest of his life. The quote from him, when it happened, he said, and this is exactly what he said, probably in Chinese, but he said, why do I need a second kidney? One is enough. Which now, I guess, he's looking and going, oh, that's what you need too.

Technically, you do only need one. No, technically you need two for this very reason, in case one fails. If you do a kidney donation to somebody, it's a hugely selfless thing to do, but it is hugely risky for you as well. That was my next question for you. Would you give someone a kidney? I would give someone a kidney, and I wouldn't ask them for an iPhone in return.

Imagine that your sister comes to you and she's like, I need a kidney, and you're like, I'm willing to give you one of my kidneys for the iPhone X. She's like, look, I'm quite unwell. I haven't been able to work for a while because of the kidney thing, but what if I got you a Samsung? Galaxy. No deal.

No kidney, sis. No kid do. Bree and Clint. Bree and Clint. That's the end of our show. That's Muramasa and ASAP Rocky and Lovesick. This could be my last show ever. Why is that?

Because we found out today on the show that I took my work phone overseas to Australia on holidays, used 35 gigs of data, and it's going to cost the company a lot of money. Oh, yeah, I forgot about that. Like $1,750, your data roaming bill. Yeah, but since then, a few people who work at spark have messaged me and said that if you go over this certain cap yeah it's like could be four times that amount what were you doing by the way to rack up 35 gigs of data because you were i looked you were at home most of the time yeah pornhub why did you do that why did you do that christmas is a lonely time why did you not do

that no why did you not do that on the wi-Fi? I figured I didn't want my mum checking. So you want your work to know? Yeah, I'd rather my work find out. You'd rather they found out. Yeah. Right. Can they find out if you do that on your phone? I don't know.

Can they? I don't know. Producer Ben, you would know. All of a sudden, I'm mildly terrified, though. For everybody. For you, mainly. Yeah, no. Yeah, just for me.

Even though. 35 gigs is a lot. Is that a lot for a month? You were only there for 30 days. So that's more than a gig a day. How long are these videos? There's too much detail here. Lots of detail. Lots of detail. HD. Comes in HD now.

We'll see you guys back tomorrow. Huge! For our brand new start time of 3 o'clock. Everything's different. Everything's changed, but not that much has really changed. See you tomorrow, guys. Have a great night. Bye!
