I hate the new age, guys. I'm a chauvinist. I live on beer and pies. Tried to tell you, but you look at me like maybe I'm an angel underneath. And brush me teeth. Yesterday I lied. But all me mates gave me a real good alibi. Thanks, guys.

I can't believe you were wondering whether this was Australian or not. I told you I was at work. Here we go. Build, build. Cause it's something I will shirk. I'm a bloke, I'm an ochre, and builds, it builds. That's bloody brilliant. I hate a parody song these days. No, the 90s were the golden age of parody songs. That is spot on right there.

Do we get down... That's spot on. Do we get down with Weird Al Yankovic? People do. I didn't... See, I think he had his moment. He got onto it early enough. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

He did entire parody albums. I'd be like, this guy's a genius. What was the one he did He did the Michael Jackson bad song He did Fat Because I'm fat I'm really really fat Yeah that was pretty good

Hold on Weird Al No we're not just going to play parody songs No we're not playing it I'm just seeing what other ones Wait was He did heaps yeah I think that was

one of his biggest ones was that fat one remember he um did his most recent one was eat it he did um he did

uh chameleon ear right and dirty oh yeah he did white and nerdy yeah it actually got on the radio that was good time

this is dope I don't know if this is clean. That's the only issue. Oh, it's podcast. Not bad. This is good. Not bad. This is good.

I've just seen one on YouTube, and I'm assuming it's Madonna's Like a Virgin. Yeah. But he did Like a Surgeon. I hope it was good because the... This is it. No, this is Eat It. No, this is Eat It. Oh, this is Eat It. I've just seen another one.

Oh, shit. Those are hand farts. I love it. Or they... No, are they farts? Because he's eating it. Eating it. Maybe. And they fart because he's eating it. Eating it, maybe.

All right, here's a game. Here's a game. How come you're always such a fuzzy young man? Don't want no Captain Crush. Yeah, maybe this one hasn't aged as well. Here's one. Okay, I've just found a weird Yankovic song. Yeah. It's to the rock song, I Love Rock and Roll.

Yeah, I Love Sausage Rolls. That's what it would be here in New Zealand or Australia, but no. Oh, they don't have sausage rolls. No, not really, no. Okay. What would it be? What did he call his parody song to I Love Rock and Roll? Producers, any thoughts?

Sushi rolls. Oh, that's a good guess. Fat rolls? Egg rolls. No, that's a good guess. Fat rolls? Egg rolls. No, another good guess. I feel like it's roll. I love tuna rolls. Asparagus rolls.

I'll give you a clue. It's not roll. Oh. I love... Mole. But you're going down the right line of food. I love... Fruit roll.

Something bowl. Oh, yeah. I love... Pole?. Something bowl. Oh, yeah. I love pole. Bento bowl. I love bento bowls. I love poke bowls. I mean, that would be relevant now, but maybe not when he made it. Barbie dolls?

Oh, that's good. That's a bit creepy. What is it? I said, no, it's I love Rocky Road. Does that even rhyme? Not as good as sausage rolls. I was not even close. I was like, sausage roll, you're like, close.

You're on the right angle. Okay, egg roll, even close. You're in the right kind of area. All right, that'll do, I think. Let's, uh, hare atu. Oh, that means go outside. Or go away.

But also, Jules contacted a radio station to find him. To find the guy. So, it's going to be pretty hard to play it cool from here. If anyone's Kino Bino in this situation, it's Jules. You leave Jules alone.

She just wants to find love, okay? So yeah, love in the Garden City maybe this afternoon. But next, how short's your labour? Yeah, how short was your labour? A story about pretty much a fitness fanatic has broken and she had a short labour, let me tell you. She just did a squat and squeezed that thing out. Hey, you joke.

You joke, but pretty much what happened? She did a burpee and it just came squirting out. She was doing burpees like at eight months. We'll talk about that after Doja Cat on ZM. Bree and Clint. Bree and Clint. How short was your labour? I bet a lot of people are thinking, not short enough.

No, I'm thinking on behalf of my wife, not short at all. Like 36 hours. You always hear like real long ones, don't you? Yeah. You never hear about the, oh yeah, it was, you know, pretty easy. Sometimes you do on the second one. Yeah. Or the third one.

Yeah. Once you know what you're doing. The oven Or the third one. Yeah. Once you know what you're doing. The oven's been warmed up. Yeah. Ready to go. But there's a Swedish fitness star who, her story's going viral because she talks about how she was determined. So throughout her pregnancy, she was training.

Like she's a real fitness fanatic. She said she was doing squats and lunges and all kinds of things right up until she gave birth. Like she's a real fitness fanatic. She said she was doing squats and lunges and all kinds of things right up until she gave birth. Impressive. And I guess- Impressive to not use your nine month window- As a holiday. Just to eat.

Yeah, just as like a, well- Not a holiday. A fitness holiday. Yeah, a break. Yeah, a fitness holiday. Yeah. Where you're like- A hiatus.

I'm just not going to work out for- Dude, I'm pregnant. Dude, dude. Why are you pressuring me? I'm totally- I'm pregnant. Don, fitness holiday. Yeah. Where you're like, oh, I'm just not going to work out for, you know, once I'm pregnant. Dude, dude, dude. Why are you pressuring me? I'm pregnant. Don't pressure me. And totally entitled to do what you want. Anyway, she shared a video with a bunch of her followers where she was, yeah, doing squats, tricep dips

in her hospital gown when she was in labour. Whoa. She was still doing a workout while she was in labour? Yes. Too far. She was working out and it wasn't for the gains. It was because she believed it was going to help her deliver the baby. Well, that's what she says.

That's what she says. She just couldn't skip a workout. You know those people? Oh, I doubt that's the reason. You know those people that'll miss your birthday party because they've got to get to CrossFit? Yeah, I used to date one. I'm just imagining she's like, yes, you did.

Remember that time we were watching State of Origin and everyone had to go home early? Yeah, during the game. Yes. Because she had to get up early to go to CrossFit. Moving on. Anyway, so a short- Good times.

She was doing squats and tricep dips whilst in a hospital gown. She was in labour. In a short while after, this is a quote from her, I pushed my baby out in four pushes and in less than ten minutes. I thought we banned that. No, that's not the sound of it. No, we've banned that. That's from her Instagram story.

No, we've banned that. That's from her Instagram story. No, we've banned that. Four push-ups. It was... That was also audio from her Instagram story. Mental note, get Clint back. Anyway, 10 minutes, four pushes, if that's what it takes, that might drive me to exercise. Right.

I think you're going to say it might drive you to get pregnant. No, that's what I mean. It might drive me to exercise. Like the first time I exercise is when I get pregnant. The sheer fear of how long labour might be, might be the thing that gets you in the gym. Yeah, maybe. Right.

Well, what even motivates you? Do we know if this was this lady's first child? I think so. I think it was her first baby. That's seriously impressive. Her first daughter. There's not really too much more information, but she just was saying that it was super short,

and she pretty much says she believes it was because she was so fit. We're going to ask the question, how short was your labour? I don't know if we'll beat 10 minutes. Probably not, but I'm interested to hear the stories. Yeah. Yeah. I'm keen for anything under an hour. Anything under an hour is super impressive. Especially if you didn't make it to the hospital. Oh, like in the car?

Yeah. Have you seen those? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Those videos literally haunt me. In the car, in the kitchen, in the car park. The car park? Yeah, of your own house, of your apartment building. I don't know. I don't know, mate.

We just made you call. I was picturing it at a Westfield. Shotgun this park. Sorry, man. You've been here for over two hours. You're going to have to pay. 0800 dial ZNM or you can text us on 9696.

How short was your labour? How short was your labour? A Swedish fitness star has talked about her labour on her Instagram where I did get it slightly wrong. I alluded to the fact that her labour was 10 minutes, but she pushed for 10 minutes. Her labour was just over an hour. Yeah, because I was going to say,

you said that she got to the hospital, did a workout. Yeah, so her labour was around. I was going to say, you said that she got to the hospital, did a workout. Yeah, so her labour was around... I was going to say, that must have been a short workout. Yeah, just over an hour and then it took about, yeah, four to ten minutes to push it out. That's still seriously impressive.

Still very short. This is the problem with these bloody fitness models. They set unrealistic birth goals, you know? Well, this is the thing and I said to you before... With their abs.

And I was like, oh, you know, if that's the case, if it's going to make a real short labour, then maybe I'll get into exercise. Yeah, I don't know if it's that simple. There's been a lot of texts on the text machine from a lot of ladies that say that is not the case. One lady in particular who said she runs marathons and does all kinds of stuff, she said, no, very different. Right. Multiple, multiple long hours, days.

Well, good to know. Yeah. Good update. So no exercise for me. So there you go. You're back to doing nothing. Good. Amy's here.

Hey, Amy. Hi. Short labour, mate? Well, five hours. Pretty good. Five hours. I mean, you say pretty good. Yeah, it was still appalling, but I was induced 10 days overdue,

so I was ready for baby to come. Pretty good. Anything in and out same day, pretty good. Yeah. I think you need to just shush a little bit. Five hours in labour I think is bad enough. Yeah. But then I had another one, and I think because I was so impatient,

I had acupuncture to get her done because I didn't want to be 10 days overdue, and she was 16 hours. Right. But she wasn't 10 days overdue, though. No, she was on her due date. 16 hours. After acupuncture. Not pretty good.

Not good. Okay, thanks, Amy. Steph's here. Hi, Steph. Hi. Steph, how short was your labour? With my fourth, I was in labour for 17 minutes from the first contraction until the placenta was delivered.

See, that's what I want. Yeah, sign me up for that package. And all you had to do was go through three other births first to get to this nice, easy, breezy 17-minute job. Simple, really. They were all short, but that was my shortest. Steph, was that, like, hectic? Like, how did you get from your house to the hospital and all the rest of it? Like what happened?

So with my third, which I was in labour for 28 minutes, I didn't make it to the hospital. So I made sure I was already at the hospital the fourth time. You just went to the hospital as soon as you got pregnant. You're like, I'm moving in. No, not quite. But yeah, no, I was there, I think, for two days beforehand because I was getting a bit niggly and I was like, I should get back home. Okay, all right.

So you had a 17-minute birth, but you still had to be at the hospital for two days. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, but how good's hospital food sometimes? Not very good. I don't mind it. Oh, right, okay.

I think it's okay. Yeah, I quite like when they food sometimes? Not very good. I don't mind it. Oh, right, okay. I think it's okay. Yeah, I quite like when they bring you the little packs and things. Okay, maybe it's come a long way. Maybe I want to give birth. Leanne, finally, how long was your birth or how short was your birth? Five minutes from the time my husband dropped me off at the birth centre to my baby was in my hand. You stop it, Leanne.

Five minutes? Are you a fitness freak? Did you squeeze yours out with squats? I actually owned my own dance school back then, so I was teaching right up until I had babies. See, that's interesting. Nothing like, you know, a marathon runner or, you know, nothing extreme. But Leanne, very good core for dancers. Correct me if I'm wrong. Yeah, that's true. Five minutes. The funny thing was though, when I got dropped off at the

birth care centre, I actually, my midwife wasn't there yet and I asked them to leave the room because I needed to go toilet. And I delivered her on the toilet. No! So wait, you delivered her yourself? I thought she was a poo.

I'm not kidding. And that there is the perfect place to leave this conversation. Thanks, Leah. You're like, damn it, not another food, baby. I know. In traffic. Bree and Clint. Time for the latest.

From iHeartRadio. This is The Latest. Live from LA with Dean McCarthy. Dean, a really sad ending to the Naya Rivera story today. Give us the latest. Yeah, it is really sad, actually.

After a week's search, hundreds of volunteers, they have finally found Naya Rivera's body, unfortunately, in the lake where she went with her son on a boat a week ago.

There was a lot of conspiracy theories about was there someone there with them? Was there foul play? The coroner today said there appears to be no foul play. It appears that she drowned. Her son was in the boat with a life jacket on, and there was a life jacket, a second life jacket in the boat when they found the boat. So everyone in Hollywood, especially all the cast of Glee

have all come out and shared their condolences. It's a really sad day. It's a sad story and a really sad day for sure. I saw that Lea Michele from Glee today, I think as a direct response to this,

has taken herself off Twitter. She obviously has had her own issues recently, but with this one, she's gone, it's too much. I'm withdrawing from the public sphere of that. And she's herself off Twitter. She obviously has had her own issues recently, but with this one, she's gone, it's too much, I'm withdrawing from the public sphere of that. And she's got off Twitter, right, Dean? That's exactly right. Actually, it was really dark, Clint.

Actually, people were writing on Lea Michele's different recent posts on Twitter, really, really awful things that I won't even repeat. It actually caused her to take her Twitter down because you may remember there was a bit of a conflict between Naya and Leah. They've never followed each other on social media. They haven't been friends, at best you could put it.

And so a lot of her fans were saying things to Leah Michelle, so she withdrew her Twitter. She's still on Instagram. She's taken all the comments off Instagram, so no one can comment. But she's actually pregnant, so I don't think now's a good time for anyone to be going, Leah Michelle. That makes's actually pregnant, so I don't think now's a good time for anyone to be going, Lea Michelle. But, yeah.

That makes me so angry, and I don't understand why sometimes people's response to, obviously, grief and something horrific is to attack another person. We need to be kind to people and realise that it's such a horrible thing, so saying horrible things to someone else isn't going to make you feel better. It is an important lesson though for anyone who's going through something at the moment and is feeling it,

that you can take yourself off social media. You always have that power. And I know that won't solve the problem and I know you shouldn't have to take yourself off social media, but you can just take yourself off. You can disable your accounts or you can just not check them as well. That is the power that you have in these situations.

Right. And as important as ever, that if you are feeling any kind of way at the moment and you do need some support, you can text 1737 or call them as well. Anytime, that's free for the support you need. They're always around to talk and are amazing, so call them. That's Dee McCarthy, our Hollywood correspondent,

live out of Los Angeles on ZM. Bree and Clint. I love to bring the weird and wonderful stories to the show, and this one caught my attention. And it's a story about a man over in the UK. He's 26, and he decided he was going to head down to McDonald's, grab a burger, and then he was going to eat at Seaside. Oh, wonderful.

Treat yourself. Yep. That's my version of self-care. Yeah. Yeah. What a great afternoon. Anyway, so he's got this burger and apparently police have detained this man after he was spotted attacking a seagull.

And when I say he was spotted attacking a seagull, apparently a seagull has flown in and you know what seagulls are like. They go for the food and they're keen for the food. The man has grabbed the seagull, caught it and then bit it. He bit the seagull? He bit it?

God, even outside of the COVID era, that is not recommended practice. You don't know where that seagull's been. Can you imagine if you saw a guy? He was taking a bite out of a seagull. He was taking a bite. Was it like he was trying to get his meal back? I'm imagining the gulls come in, taking the patty out of his burger, quickly gobbled it, and he's like, well, I'll eat you and the patty.

And he's like, actually, I'd rather to make chicken anyway. It's seriously impressive that he could even catch the seagull. I'm surprised too. Apparently, yeah, he went to jail, and I don't know what's happened, if the seagull is pressing charges, but reportedly the seagull flew away. Yeah, picturing this guy resisting arrest, he's like, bloody seagulls. Started it. He's got my bloody combo.

He bloody started it. I'll tell you what, there's one thing I know, if I was in prison with that guy, not messing with him. No way. No way, I'm trying to eat off his plate. Bree and Clint. Last week we talked about the guy in Strayer Who got pulled over by a cop

He was speeding in his work ute And he told the cop the reason he was speeding Was because there was a brown snake In the cab of his truck Take a listen You can feel my heart, mate You found a snake in your car There was a brown

It's in the back of the tray, mate Ah, that one Just confirming You said you're off with a vehicle The driver's been bitten by a brown snake. Was that correct? Turns out he wasn't bitten, but he thought he had been bitten. He didn't know.

He was in a state of panic. And as the only Australian on the show, pretty believable story. Yeah, right. I believe him in that audio. He was doing 123 kilometres in a 100 kilometre zone. Oh, so a little bit over? A little bit over. 25, 23% over. 23, yeah, 23%. Trying to get to the hospital

in time. And breaking news on that story, Jimmy Canhand, the man bitten by the snake, well, we thought he was bitten by the snake, has been fired. His work have gone, um, nope, you're speeding in a work car, so you're fired. That's a bit rough.

Right? That's so rough in my opinion. Unless there's more to the story and there's some history there. Well, we don't know. Who knows? But all I'm taking for that is what I know. Yeah. And I think, come on. Like we said, the ute that he was in was a company car.

And the policy is no speeding in the company car. I wonder if it's because he didn't actually get bit. And they were like, well, he didn't actually get bit. It doesn't matter in my opinion. Because we had that theory. We did have that sub-theory that he keeps a dead snake in the back of the ute so that he can speed. Is he getting all these dead snakes though?

I don't know. I don't know. Like, is he just picking them up off the side of the road? Yeah, when he sees it he goes, oh, I've got a dead snake, I can speed home tonight. I love that. So that if he does get pulled over and go to the cop, mate, I had to get home.

There's a chick at the back of my ute, dead snake. Like in Australia, snakes aren't just everywhere for the picking. Are they not? No. Are they not? To be honest, in my life I've probably seen in the wild, and I grew up in the country, like rural farm area. I probably saw like five. Yeah, right.

In my whole life. Yeah. Like they're not everywhere. But honestly, mate, it's five more snakes than I've seen. Yeah, I bet. Okay. Oh no, I'm not saying it's been, you know. To me, that's horrific. Too many. Five is too many, yeah. But that's them's the brakes. He no longer has a car because his daily driver was his

work car and they've gone, you're fired, 123 in a 100 zone, can't speed in the company car, you're gone. Nah, that's tough. And then when I told you this story today, you revealed to me that the ZM Black Thunders have got a new software in them that shows that the company can see if you've been speeding in our company cars. I casually said to you, I said, oh, you know how we've got the Black Thunders?

There's actually tracking devices on them that shows you exactly how fast they're going. I feel like, yeah. And then your face, the look you gave me was like, oh, shit. Yeah, well, I feel like that's an invasion of my privacy. Have you driven the Thunders recently, have you? When was the last time you drove a Thunder? I drove the Black Thunders when we went to Dargaville,

when we went to close down that blockbuster. But that's fine. I drove fine. I'm still getting Cairo on my neck from that drive, actually. I just wish I had known that there was some form of something. Yeah, would have been a good idea, I think, if you'd known. We want to know this afternoon on 0800Diles.com, what did you do in the company car?

Probably not speeding, maybe not speeding. Maybe it was something else. Maybe you- I'm sure there's some horror stories. Maybe you got caught hotboxing the company car. Oh, I don't know if we're going to get those stories. You don't know? I mean, well, it is about to be 420, so-

Right? Maybe you work for a takeaway place and you had the, maybe you went for Uber Eats. Where are you coming up with this stuff and what? Because if you had some snacks in there, then you went and, you know. Took the car to the drive-in. Is that what you're saying? Hey, that wouldn't be a bad idea.

Or maybe you just put diesel in the company petrol. Or maybe you crash the company car into the boss's car. I drove a company car, brand new, literally the first time it had been driven, took the whole mirror off the side, and it was one of those electronic mirrors.

$1,000. What was the company? I'm not going to say. There's another radio station. Dial ZM. I want to know what did you do in the company car this afternoon? Yeah, what did you do? You can give us a text too. Bail chicken, wow, wow.

Yeah, maybe you made a baby in one. You can text us on 9696 as well. Bree and Clint. That guy who got bit by the, well, thought he got bit by the snake, the tradie in Australia last week and got pulled over for speeding, has lost his job because he was speeding in a company car. I want to call that company and just see, you know, if I could talk them out of it.

Pretend to be a snake. Yeah. I am the star of the race. Listen here. It wasn't his fault. Then we want to know, what did you do in the company car? This guy was speeding, lost his job for it. Did you know that someone's text in?

About Fletch? About Fletch and dobbed in. I know. Can we get Fletch on the show, producers? Can we call up Fletch from Fletch, Vaughan and Megan? Someone said Fletch. Actually, see if you can get Fletch by the end of the break because I'd like him to have the right of rebuttal here.

Apparently he was working at a radio station in Nelson. Don't say it yet. Don't say it. What if we don't get him and then station in Nelson. Don't say it yet. Don't say it. What if we don't get him and then we never get to the story? Well, then we'll say it. I'd like him to have some sort of rebuttal to this. Okay. We'll see if we can get Fletch. In the meantime, what did you do in the company car, Matt?

How we going? Good, mate. Good thanks, Matt. What'd you do? I caught wind that the company was going to get bought out so I took my two daughters on a South Island road trip Yeah, you did, Matty I condone that, eh? Were you living in the North Island at the time?

No, I was from Christchurch So I just went up, Blenheim, Nelson, Greymouth And then back home Matt, by that, you mean you gave the car back in the end, right? Oh, yeah, of course Okay, just joking It wasn't like a runaway Yeah, he just thought, I'm going to put the Ks on the car back in the end, right? Oh, yeah, cool. Okay, just checking. It wasn't like a runaway. Yeah, he just thought, I'm going to put the Ks on the car that I want to put on.

How good, because most of them come with a fuel card as well. Well, that's good. That's an investment in your family. Sasha, hi. Hi. Hey. What did you do in the company car, Sasha? So I used to work at a local pizza store and my parents would order and pay for pizzas

and for a really far away address and I would just go around to their house with the pizzas and we'd eat it. Oh, that's good. That's a pizza hack. Can I ask, Sasha, while we've got you, so you, did you use your own car or it was a company pizza car? No, so it was a company car. Right.

Yeah. Because I was going to ask, have you ever heard about people, you know, when they have to use their own cars to deliver pizzas? And they just put the magnet dominoes light on top of their car? Yeah, but one of my friends told me one time that they reckon once the pizza smell is in the car. Oh, you never get it out? Ever.

Really? Never goes away. Really? Do you reckon that's never get it out? Ever. Really? Never goes away. Really? Do you reckon that's true, Sash? Yeah. Well, I don't know, because to be fair, when you pick up your own pizzas,

it goes like pretty quickly, you know. Yeah, but one pizza to like a hundred. Yeah, but we're talking a hundred pizzas going in and out of your car a night. All day, every day, yeah. Like everyone. Yeah.

Yeah. I mean, it wouldn't be bad. No, it wouldn't be the worst thing. Oh, I don't know. Old pizza smell. I don't know. Like everyone. Yeah? Yeah. I mean, it wouldn't be bad. No, it wouldn't be the worst thing. Oh, I don't know. Old pizza smell. I don't know. Any pizza people listening, let us know. Yeah, pizza people.

Can you text us on 9696 if you can confirm or deny that? This person wants to remain anonymous. Anonymous, tell us your company car story. It was my brother, actually. What did your brother do? He hit a horse in his company car. Oh. He hit a horse?

He hit a horse. Yeah. How? It was late at night and we live in a semi-rural part of Auckland and they came around the corner in the pitch black. Yeah. Someone was, I don't know what they were doing, feeding the horse or taking care of it,

but they spooked it onto the road. That's shocking. They just came around the corner, in the middle of the road. This is a dumb question. Don't ask about the horse. Okay, I won't ask. How's the car? Don't ask about the car. Complete write-off. The car's a complete write-off. Guys, there's no happy ending to this story.

Both write-offs. We've got him, by the way. Fletch, hi. G'day, mate. Welcome to the show. We've sent, by the way. Fletch, hi. G'day, mate. Welcome to the show. Well, well. We've seen a text about you. Fletch. Really? We're going to give you the rite of passage.

We're just going to say we're talking at the moment about people doing naughty things in company cars. Do you have anything to add to this conversation? Oh, well, there's one that comes to mind, but that was a long time ago. What did you do? Oh, there, there's one that comes to mind, but that was a long time ago. What did you do? Oh, there's certainly no comment on that. Well, we've got a message here.

We're going to read it out. Yeah, let's read it out. And then you can deny it. Okay. Best case scenario, mate, this is not the version of the story you're thinking of. This might be a different story. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Well, let's hope. Okay, here's the text. So the text says, Fletch was working at a radio station in Nelson. He took a company car home, didn't put the handbrake on, and it rolled backwards down the hill into his neighbour's house. Yes, that's actually 100% correct. Are you serious?

Yeah, I'd been working like a long day and I was just literally running in to grab something, I think my wallet, and I ran back out and I just watched the RAV4 in slow motion just roll down into the towel. I love Fletcher's excuse was, it had been a long day. It had been a long day.

It had been a long day. I mean, could have happened to anyone. Okay, well, good that you can corroborate the story and that it's true. A more important question, was that the company car story that came to mind straight away for you? No, no, it wasn't.

On the bright side, we did get a new radio station vehicle because it was a complete write-off. So it was a positive. I hate to know what the other company car story is, Fletch. Lucky you didn't tell that story about what you did in the Edge Road Runner, eh? A former New Zealand rugby player turned Sky Sports commentator

has had a bit of a balls up over the weekend. Or has he, actually? This is interesting. This is one of those moments where you go, actually, no, maybe he's fine. It's open to interpretation. I do love anything to do with live television. So Brendan Chainsaw Laney is commentating a televised

First 15 match between St. Andrews and Christchurch Boys. Okay. It was at, I'm pretty sure it was at Orange Theory Stadium in Christchurch, the game. I think it might have been the curtain raiser to the Crusaders Blues game on the weekend. the by it was very interesting yeah right either way either way it was on tv yeah right and um uh brendan was employed as the commentator okay gonna play you a bit of audio and you'll hear the bit where the issue is, where the controversy is surrounding.

And then you're going to hear Brendan try and save it. Does he fart? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Oh, because that would be so good. How do you save that? You say that it was the chair. That's how everyone saves it. Let me play this clip and you tell me if you think there's an issue.

It's a Christchurch match. Some of the Crusaders looking on. Wow. He's f***ed that up completely. He's kicked it dead. Really mucked that up. Good. He covered it well. Right?

Covered it. So the Sky Sport team have commented on this and they said, we've looked into the matter at some length and we've spoken with Brendan and the wider production team. He is adamant that he did not curse and that he said, he's adamant that he said mucked up.

Now we don't have access to the actual audio. We only have the beeped version. I'd love to have access to it. Right. One more time. Is there a chance that he said... Christchurch match. Some of the Crusaders looking on.

Wow. He's f***ed that up completely. He's kicked it dead. You can tell he hasn't said mucked. Really mucked that up. You can tell he hasn't said mucked because everyone else goes silent. And then he says that he mucked that up to try and cover it. We all do it.

Keeping up to date with the news just became a little easier. As it heralds new podcasts, the front page is your short, sharp daily news podcast. Join me, Damien Venuto, every weekday morning as I chat with journalists and newsmakers going behind the headlines to break down what you need to know on the biggest news stories of the day. Listen to the front page at nzherald.co.nz slash podcasts and follow us on iHeartRadio

or wherever you get your podcasts. Look, I'm just going to give the audience a heads up. Every so often, as a radio announcer, you have a really great idea. Yeah. And I feel like I've had a really great idea today. Do you reckon? I think it's one of my best in a while, but stick around because this is going to be good. Mm-hmm.

Why do I feel like I'm the victim of this great idea? No, you're a player in this integral, an integral part of this game. Okay. Yeah. We're happy to be here. Yeah, you're like a chess piece. So I got this idea from a story which is out of Cornwall in the UK. And it's about a guy who owns a pub there and he's gone to extreme measures

to ensure that his patrons are maintaining social distance from each other when they're drinking at the pub. Yep. And he's done that by installing an electric fence at the bar. Which is very smart from him. Yeah. And it shows he truly- Don't come up here, wait for your server.

Yeah. And it shows that he truly cares about his patrons. Right. And I thought, oh, what a guy. We can't experience, you know, this bar that's doing these lovely things because we're not there. We're not in Cornwall. What we can do, I thought, is, oh, you know, we could create our own kind of atmosphere that they've done at this bar

here in the studio. Great idea, great idea. So what I thought we could do, we've got a – this is so good. We've never used this. We've got – We've always had it and we've never used it. We've got a shock collar. An electric dog shock collar.

This is such classic radio, but I'm so here for it. We've got an electric shock dog collar that, Clint, I would like you to place onto your arm. Sure, Brie, I'd love to. Hey, you're a part. You need to pick up your game. I came up with the idea. I can't do everything. You're doing all the heavy lifting. I can't do everything

in this show. I'm slipping the electric... Don't you shock me yet. I've got the... Don't you shock me yet. I'm slipping the electric dog shock collar onto my forearm. Are you clean? No, no, no, no, no, not yet. Okay, no, I'm not going to do it. Not mentally ready.

Okay. Wait, is it the right hand? Oh, yeah. So which is your drinking hand? Both. I'm ambidextrous when it comes to it. Okay, great. Perfect.

So if we mess one up, the other one will be good. So we've put the collar onto your arm, which is on your forearm, and we've now given you a beer, a delicious, cold, juicy beer. And we're here at the bar. Yeah. We're at the pub in Cornwall. Yeah. And now the aim of the game is for you to get to the end of the beer. I've got to drink the whole beer.

But I do have the remote for the shock collar over here. Oh, yeah. I understand. I understand what I need to do. I need to do this fast. That's going to be the key to this. I don't know if I'm going to be able to handle how funny this is. There's a real risk.

You know what I'm scared of? I'm actually scared of the shock. Because I don't know what it feels like. I'm scared my arms are going to contort and I'm going to knock a'm actually scared of the shock. Because I don't know what it feels like. I'm scared my arms are going to contort and I'm going to knock a tooth out with the pint glass. Right, so just keep that in mind when, you know.

Alright. Well, jeez, I'm thirsty. Here, please, sir. Have this beer that I've prepared for you earlier. Alright, make sure you keep me hocked up to an electromagnetic force so that I don't catch coronavirus. Cheers! I've got you back and go. And he's picking up the beer. Cheers. Are you going to drink? Yeah, I'm going to drink. Ahhhh! Fawkskin! Oh! Oh! Cor blimey, that is so much worse than I expected.

That's on the lowest. That's on the lowest. Please enjoy your beverage. I need to protect my teeth. Okay, all right, here we go. Enjoy. I don't feel like I've had any yet. I need some more.

Yeah, have a sip. Ah, yummy. Oh. Oh. I've waited for this all lockdown. No, continue drinking. Yum, that is so good. Is it good?

Have another sip. It's so refreshing. It's like hot needles oh yay I'm done I think he's onto

something oh far out it really works that's intense I tell you what if that was on everybody and it shocked you when

you got too close with social distancing no more coronavirus that's a new craft beer. It's got to be the kick. Brie and Clint. Oh my God, I heard she bought all her followers. She would.

She's such a bitch. It's time for Brie and Clint's Insta Fame Game. The game where we guess how many followers famous people have on Instagram and now you can win prizes as well by picking the correct winner of the game. That's right, Alice, you were first to get through. Who do you want to play for you? You, please, Bree. All right, let's do this thing.

Alice is Bree, which means Alex, I've got you. No worries, sounds great. All right, No worries. It's first to three in the Insta Fame game. What? What? Oh, shoot. Oh, a little snort.

Sorry. What was that? That was an accident. Sorry. That was snorty. Are we ready to play? Yeah, we're ready. Producer Ben runs the game.

Producer Ben, who's our first celebrity in the Insta Fame game? The first celebrity is... Are you right? Sorry, I've got the giggles now. Okay, we'll move on. The first celebrity is... Are you right? Sorry, I've got the giggles now. Okay, we'll move on. The first celebrity is 50 Cent. 50 Cent. Yeah, he messaged old Will Smith.

Yeah, didn't he? They got into a bit of a fight. About Jada. Yeah. It's just like, you're right, Will. He's like, yeah, I'm going to... I'd love if he had 50 million, but I'm not going to say no. Clint for 50 Cent has put 50 million.

Whoa. Bree, you have put 15 million. 50 Cent has put $50 million. Whoa. Bree, you have put $15 million. 50 cent has $26 million. Woo. Oh, that's me. That's me, yeah. Just checking. Yeah, come on, mate.

I think we got one wrong last week and now I'm paranoid. Yeah, that would have been my fault. Okay, all right, okay. Next one. Your second celebrity for the Instafame game is Paris Goebel. Oh, Paris Goebel. She's now officially become a member of the New Zealand Order of Merit. Has she?

Yeah, for dance. Oh, awesome. Congratulations, Paris. For Paris Goebel, Clint, you put 700,000. Bree, you put 1.2 million. Paris has 1.6 million. Get in! Does she?

Yeah. Yeah, she's uber famous. She's done like the J-Lo stuff. I know she is, but it's hard for New Zealanders to comprehend how famous these people are overseas. It's like Taika Waititi.

He's got a lot of followers too. I don't think he's over a mil though. He's not on my list, so I have no idea. No, I think he is. Oh, okay. Question number three, Taika Waititi.

Bonus round. Your third person for the Insta Fame game is Katy Perry. She's made Jennifer Aniston her kid's godmother. Yeah. Cool godmother. For Katy Perry, Clint, you've put $40 million. Brie, you've put $72 million. Katy Perry has $101 million.

Get it! Damn it. That's Brie 3-0. That's the game. I kissed a girl and I liked it. Alice, you are picking up the mobile fuel. Well done. Thank you so much.

No worries. You're welcome. Can we please find out how many Instagram followers Taika Waititi's got? Two million. Two million! Yeah, I told you. He's huge. I know he's huge, but I just remember him not having that many. It must have blown up. Do you just think of him as, you know, the guy

around the back, one of the neighbours? Yeah, Taika from Wellington. Yeah, you know. Two million. Damn, he could get some serious cash if he started doing posts about collagen powder. Charge heaps for those. Bree and Clint. The story's doing the rounds today, and it's about a family here in New Zealand

who drove 300 kilometres to the beautiful Napier, and they went to check into their hotel, and they were told that if they didn't have a credit card, they weren't allowed to check in. Yeah, right, because they've got to do a hold in case you pillage the minibar. Debit card, no go. Oh, what? So they had a debit card, like a Visa debit, I'm assuming, which is what we all have these days. Not me.

You don't have a Visa debit card? No, I've got that credit card. I want those rewards points. So you have no Visa debit. You just have credit cards. I don't know. Are you insane? Of course you've got a Visa debit card. Is that what my FBOS card is? Yes. I

like to use my credit card, well, up until recently so I could get the ear points. But now I'm not going anywhere. So it's like, what's the point? You know? Yeah, well, it ear points. But now I'm not going anywhere. So it's like, what's the point, you know? Yeah, well, it's true. But these guys were very confused. So they were pretty much told it was company policy and they said consistent with many hotels around the globe to require the presentation of a photo ID and a credit card upon check-in.

I've got one. Yes, of course you've got one. Look at me. I've got one. Yes, of course you've got one. Everyone's got one. Yeah, right. Okay. So they can't check I'm excited. I've never ever heard, because I mean I've checked into hotels by myself a lot. Well, that sounds sinister.

And I've always put down. Brie likes to get the one hour rate. Shut up. She's out in town, she hires someone she likes. That is so not true. It's more like four. She's like. I always put down my. My shout, no sleeping.

No sleeping, no minibar. I put down my Visa debit and they're like, that's fine. Pretty much the same as a credit card, except you're using your own money instead of the bank's money. No, arguably, especially if you're not good with money, the Visa debit, great idea, because you can't go into debt, right? No. The idea is you can only spend the money that you've got.

Which I personally, and this might sound weird to some people, I've never had a credit card because I don't trust myself. Yeah, and I think that's good. It's good in some ways, bad in others. I think if you know that about yourself, then that's good. And to be honest, actually, it's not that I don't trust myself. Yeah, and I think that's good. It's good in some ways, bad in others. I think if you know that about yourself, then that's good. And to be honest, actually it's not that I don't trust myself, I am just, you and I are both

savers. I'm a saver. I don't really spend much money. You would be fine with a credit card because I know your personality. You would be fine. I wouldn't be buying something if I don't have the money. The issue is, when you get one, and they go let's start you off with a thousand. Let's give you a thousand dollars credit. And then if you need it, then you've got it. Just for an emergency, you off with $1,000. Let's give you $1,000 credit. And then if you need it, then you've got it. Just for an emergency, you've got it.

And then after a year, when they've seen you can handle the $1,000, you get an email and it says, congratulations, you've qualified for $8,000 of credit. Well, that's very different. I know. And it just steps up like that. And if you don't email back, then you just all of a sudden have $8,000 available.

Imagine the damage you could do if you had $8,000 available to you on your credit card. I think the only reason I'd run into trouble is where I started making it a game. What's that? And I'd be like, okay, if I spend this much on my credit card, I can get these points. Yeah. And I'd just end up buying stuff I don't even want. Look at me, mate. That's how they get you.

Yeah. So get rid of the credit card. You don't need it. No. No. No, because I just found out. They I don't even want. Look at me, mate. That's how they get you. Yeah, so get rid of the credit card. You don't need it. No, no. No, because I just found out. They're dangerous. They're dangerous. No, because I just found out I can spend my air points at Mitre 10 Mega.

So, no, I'm going to keep it. Thank you very much. You go to Mitre 10 Mega so much. I do. That's where I bought my dehumidifier from. You tell the truth. You tell the truth. It's Kmart.

I go to Mitre 10 Mega because they have a Columbus cafe and I like the cheese scones at the end. That's what I thought. And then on my way out I go through the tools section and I pick up a Makita and I'm like, oh yeah, good weight, good hand weight. Do you think you're convincing anyone? Myself. Myself.

As long as I'm satiated, then we'll be okay. Let's take some credit card horror stories this afternoon. We all know, and I joke, look, I joke, mate. I do love those rewards points, but I joke. Some people out there are terrible with their credit cards. And hopefully ones that have maybe not a bad ending. Oh, no, you could still be deep in the thick of it.

We want to know, how bad did your credit card bill get? You just realise now that you're not the sort of person who should have that much free, not free, that much readily available money. Don't ever call it free money. It is not free.

It feels like free money because you never see it. It feels like free money. It's like when you go to the casino and you're using chips. It doesn't feel like free money. It's like when you go to the casino and you're using chips. It doesn't feel like real money. That's how they get you. And that's how they get you with cards too because you never see the actual money. Like if you had a wallet with $1,000 cash in it

and you saw that cash going down, down, down, you'd go, crikey, dick, I've got a problem. But if you've got a credit card, you can just avoid checking your balance. Yeah, exactly. My mum was the worst. We knew it was game time when we'd go shopping or whatever and she'd whip out this bright red credit card. Yeah, exactly. My mum was the worst. We knew it was game time when we'd go shopping or whatever and she'd whip out this bright red credit card.

Yeah, game on. And I was like, my mum would be like, you guys ready? That's when you know mum's had a bad week. Yeah, seriously. She was like, let's do it. Credit card horror stories. How bad did it get for you? Or how much debt do you have right now on a credit card?

How much debt do you have right now? Did you have to cut up your credit cards because you just can't be trusted? 0800 dial ZM or you can text us on 9696 as well. Bree and Clint. We are looking for your credit card horror stories this afternoon. Hopefully with semi-happy endings, but I mean, if you're still in the thick of it, you can call us 0800 dial ZM. I've never personally had a credit card.

Don't really think I want one. You don't want one? I'd like one because this is going to sound like the oldest thing I've ever said on this show. Yeah. I'd like to get one so I could use it so I could boost my credit rating. I was told

the same thing that you can't have a good credit rating unless you have a credit card. I don't know if that's true. It's BS, is it? It might be. Yeah. Yeah. But these days, they'll just look at all your afterpays. Oh, no. They'll just go, well, did she keep up to date with her afterpays?

Ew. Yes. No. Well, that determines whether she gets a mortgage. Anyway, if you're on the fence about one, these might scare you out or even into a credit card. Let's find out. Hey, Steph. Hi, Steph. Hi. Hi. What happened? Is it you that had the credit card horror story?

Yes. So it's not your typical credit card horror story. What had happened is someone had used a photocopy of my driver's license to get a credit card out under my name. And I found out about it a year later when the credit card company rang me up and said, are you? A year? How much did they spend on a credit card in your name?

How much? Seven, it was over seven grand. Oh. And they actually, they sent through the transaction so I could see like where it was like the booze shop, obviously. Here's a really dumb question. Yeah. On the statement, had they paid any of the credit card off?

No, they only showed me the couple of days. They just went on a spending spree for a couple of nights. It was like until maybe 2 a.m. in the morning, just ATM service stations. Really? Did they believe you when you said, this isn't me? Did they believe you? It was quite trusting, yeah.

It looked unusual. I would have thought they'd maybe investigated a little bit. They didn't even ask me for an alibi, and I could have proved it because I was at work. Steph, glass half full, did you at least get to keep the points? No, no.

Because that would have been all right. I thought I would just ring up because it's good for people to know. If you lose your license, you can't do it. You owe us $8,000. Good news. You've got enough fly-by points for a Vitamix. Thanks, Steph. That is good advice. Jason's here. Hey, Jason. That is good advice. Jason's here.

Hey, Jason. G'day, Jase. Hey, how we going, guys? Good, thanks. Is it you that got done in the credit card hole? Yeah, yeah, sure. Hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on. Don't say got done in the credit card hole.

Why not? Is it you that went down the credit card hole? Did you have a peek into the credit card hole, Jason? No, it was a little peek down the hole, yeah. You're quite right. No, so mine was down to a bit of bashful pride,

unfortunately. Right. Yeah, ended up losing my job. I don't know, relatively well-paying job, so I had quite a good limit on my card. Yeah.

And because I'd lost my job and I didn't want to tell any of the family, ended up racking up a bit of debt. Oh, no. You tried to keep up appearances, but the whole time you were sticking it on the plastic. Yeah, pretty much. Yeah.

Ended up being unemployed for maybe six to nine months. Yeah. Ended up racking up about 20K between myself and my partner. Oh, yeah. And I actually had a family getaway overseas over in Hawaii. Yeah, let's say that all went on the credit card. Hey, you booked a trip to Hawaii. No, so this was pre.

So I had the booking done and everything was all set and then I'd lost my job. Yeah, you just still needed to go. Have you paid it down yet? Have you got on top of it? Yeah, so thankfully, this was a couple of years ago now, so proud to say that as of COVID-19, actually, I paid off my last payment.

Well done, mate. That's awesome, Jase. Great to hear, mate. What's the monthly interest on $20,000 of credit card debt? Let's say it's a bit more than I would... Definitely in the hole. Let's just say never bloody do it, because it's never going to work out well for you.

Yeah, right. Okay, thanks, Chase. Brutally honest. Jeremy's here. Hi, Jeremy. G'day, mate. How's it going? What happened to you with your credit card?

I was overseas on holiday, and flights got cancelled in Europe and unfortunately it was school holiday so it was really really hard to get hold of flights coming back to New Zealand and so I managed to get some but they were Emirates business class flights. Oh!

For two people one way about ten and a half grand and so I had to put that on the credit card. So thankfully, I have quite a large limit credit card. So your credit card actually, because I imagine flight assurance would have kicked in, your credit card actually saved your butt here

and meant that you could get home. Yeah, correct. Was it the best flight of your life, Jeremy? Yeah, it was pretty bloody good. And finally, Nathan, what happened with your credit card? What's your credit card horror story? Well, I was promised a pay rise by my boss

for doing a real good job. So I was like, sweet. And I went and racked up quite a few thousand dollars on an engagement ring to my partner. Yep. And I never got that pay rise

and I'm going for the whole, it never happened, I'm just going to try and forget about it and just pay the minimum. So you've got the ring. You're on it. You've got the ring and you've still got the credit card debt because the raise never happened. I'm just going to try and forget about it and just pay the minimum. So you've got the ring. He's stiffed you on it. You've got the ring and you've still got the credit card debt

because the race never happens. That's the one and I'm still saving up for a wedding, obviously. But there is a wedding. There's a happy ending. You gave her the ring. You're all good. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That was all good.

That was all good. Nathan, I've got an idea. If you've got that debt, break up with her. Boom, debt gone. What, sell the ring? Yeah. Sell the ring. Sell the ring. Sell the ring.

Get rid of the wedding and you're home free, Nathan. If Nathan broke up with me when we were planning a wedding, he's not getting the ring back. I'll tell you that much. Thanks, Nathan. We appreciate it, mate. Thanks, Nathan. Good luck, mate.

Bree and Clint. It's my birthday. It's my birthday. Bree and Clint's birthday banger. All right, time to take your birthdays, figure out what was number one on your 16th, and we'll all have a reminisce and we'll pick the best one to play. Sarah, hi.

Hello, Sarah. Hi. How are you, mate? Good. How are you guys? Very good, thanks. What's your birthday? 16th of December, 93.

All right, you were 16 in 2009 on the 2nd of December, and this is your birthday banger. Huge. Jay-Z. And Alicia Keys. Yeah. This was a massive song. Do you love this for your birthday banger, Sarah?

I do. I love Treadlings. It's perfect. Oh, perfect. Have you been to New York City before? No, not today. You've got to go. Oh, you missed out.

It was such... Don't bring the mood down. Back when we could go there. Luke's here. Hey, Luke. Hi, Luke. G'day, guys. How are you?

Good. How are you? Oh, I can't complain. That's good. End of the day. Let's do a birthday banger. What's your birthday? 29th of the 5th, 1983.

Right. You were 16 in 1999 on the 29th of May. And this is your birthday banger. Love it. Sixpence, None the Richer. Yes. That's a banger. Kiss me.

That is an absolute chain. I'm glad you agree, Luke. Mini-memory. It's a piece of history. When I heard Luke's gruff man voice at the start of this, I was like, oh, he's not going to enjoy Sixpence None the Richer. And there he is. Oh, the girlfriend back in the day, didn't it?

Yeah, okay. Oh, good memories then. Okay, good. Good memories. Great memories. Yeah, great memories memories then. Okay, good. Good memories. Great memories. Yeah, great memories. Awesome. Okay, cool.

Love it. One more for Charlotte. Charlotte, welcome to Birthday Banger. Hello, Char. Hi there. How are you guys? Good. How are you doing?

Yeah, not bad on the way home from work. Excellent. Well, this might top it off. What's your birthday? The 27th of April, 1996. All right, you were 16 in 2012 on the 27th of April. And back in 2012, this topped the charts. This is good too.

Are you a Carly Rae Gibson fan, Charlotte? I'm about 50-50, but this is a good old banger. It's a good throwback. I have to say, I'm one of those people that secretly love this song. More than just that song? What do you mean? Like more, oh sorry, do you like more Carly Rae Jepsen than just that song?

She's got, oh there's one other song of hers. The Fireflies one. The Owl City one, sorry. No, no, no, no. It's just her song and it's a banger. Oh, okay. We'll find it if she doesn't get played by. Yeah, right. So, Charlotte, you're keen on your birthday banger? We just need to check?

Yeah, that's pretty good for me. Cool, okay. She's keen on it. I don't think it matters because I think sixpence and I'm the richer for Luke. It's just a good throwback. I think it's a really good birthday banger. Was this on the front of Dawson's Creek? No, no, that was, I don't want to wait.

The light will be over. This was on something. We've got to find out. This was on She's All That with Freddie Prinze Jr. as she's walking down the stairs. Is that what it was on? Well, you'd know. You're the Freddie Prinze Jr. fan.

The important bit, Luke, congratulations. You won birthday banger, man. Awesome. Yes, mate. It was a stiff competition. It was. It was. Yeah, it was a good round today. Have a good reminisce about the old ex-girlfriend to this one, Luke.

Ha ha, sure thing. Right, back to 1999. Yes. This is Sixpence, None the Richer on ZM. Brian Clint. Out of the bearded barley and ivy Beside the green, green grass Swing, swing Swing those spinning steps You wear those shoes and I will wear that dress Oh, kiss me

Beneath the milky twilight Lead me Out on the moonlit floor Lift your open hand Strike up the band and make the butterflies dance Silver moon sparkling So kiss me Kiss me, down by the broken treehouse

Strike up the band And make the fireflies And the silver moon sparkly So kiss me. So kiss me. So kiss me See them Brie and Clint at Sixpence Nun the Richer

and Kiss Me. A winning birthday banger for Luke from the year 1999. You were right, it is from the movie She's All That with Freddie Prinze Jr. I knew it. And Dawson's Creek, right? And it was on the first Dawson Creek soundtrack.

Yeah. Open up your morning... Back when TV shows used to have their own soundtrack, which would come out on CD, and you'd be like, oh my God, have you got the Dawson's Creek soundtrack? That was the best. It was a different time.

Oh, I remember One Tree Hill. God, that was a good show. Remember when you needed to know what the song on that week's episode of Grey's Anatomy was? They did like Chasing Cars, Blob and Grey's Anatomy. Oh yeah, that's right, Snow Patrol. The Fray, Cable Car Over My Head. And they were like, oh my God, Grey's Anatomy is so good for breaking new music.

Isn't it the best? Also, just wanted to mention that Carly Rae Jepsen song I was thinking of was Cut To The Feeling. Oh yeah. Such a banger. We I was thinking of was Cut to the Feeling. Oh, yeah. Such a banger. We had a little listen to it during the song. I've never heard that before. You've never heard Carly Rae Jepsen, Cut to the Feeling? No.

Really? She's very good, though. I love Carly Rae Jepsen. Here's a question. How old is she? Oh, age game? Yeah. How old is Carly Rae Jepsen?

Carly Rae Jepsen would be slightly older than Justin Bieber. Oh, no, wait. So she had a hit in 2012. 2012, so put eight years on that. I would say Carly Rae Jepsen is 30. I reckon she's older, because I reckon she was one of those people that looked

like she was younger. Yeah. I'm going to say 33. Ben, have you got the answer for us? 33. No, I can guess, but I know the answer. Well, you don't guess then. Okay. Do you want to know the answer?

Yeah. She's 34. Yeah. God, she looks great. Doesn't she? Yeah. Are you what? Are you on her Instagram?

Huh? I didn't know she's Canadian. Yeah, she's Canadian. That's why her and Justin Bieber are like friends and stuff. Because they're Canadian. Oh, all Canadians are like friends and stuff Because they're Canadian All Canadians are best friends No, I think they're like connected Oh, with Drake as well

Drake, they're all friends Alanis Morissette, they all go to the same You laugh They all go to the same RSA for drinks They would be connected Here's a fact about Alanis Morissette Did you see the story that came out like two days ago And she said

This is true and this is not me trying to make a bad joke. This is true. She said that she actually hated the song Ironic. Wasn't that? Really? Isn't that ironic? That's true story. Really? Yes. I did see that story. Maybe she just doesn't like it now because that's the only

song people know her by. No, she doesn't like it now because she finally understands the word irony and realises none of the things in the song she sang about were ironic. They were just inconvenient. Do you reckon she wrote it though or someone else threw her under the bus and was like, no, this is what irony means? Go for it.

I don't know which one of those is better. Anyway. Brie and Clint. Brie, we're on a manhunt. Yeah, yesterday we kicked off a Christchurch manhunt, to be exact. We received an inbox from a lovely lady named Jules who she said this. Hey, guys, two years ago I was on Bumble and matched with an awesome guy named Tim. We never met, but we chatted for a number of weeks, had awesome chemistry,

and I've never forgotten about him. All I know is that he's a teacher in Christ Church, has two boys that are probably around nine and 11, was tall with dark hair, lived around Burnside, was around 35 to 39 and had a home gym in his garage. Right. So that's a fair bit of information. Yeah. We put out that information on the radio yesterday on the show, trying to get a lead on this guy to see if we could track him down and put him in touch with Jules. We do have some leads

so let's get Jules on first. Hi Jules. Hi Jules. Hi. How exciting that we might be able to track down your mystery bumble man that you lost contact with two years ago. Yep, very good, very exciting. Are you secretly kind of very nervous now that it's gotten to this point, Jules?

Yeah. Yeah, I'm kind of frightened for what's about to happen. Because we have real leads. Did you expect us to be able to get anything? Or is this like a shot in the dark type thing? Oh, they'll never find it. And at least I've done my bit to try. Yeah.

Well, that's it. I just have to be able to sleep at night knowing at least I gave it a good shot. Yeah, well, sucks for you because we might have found them. Well, Jules, we do have some information. We've got some leads for you. Are you ready? No. Yes.

Are you ready? Because here it comes. So last night we did get quite a few texts from a few different people. We followed up on those texts. Some turned out to be dead ends. Some were pranks. Some were a hoax. Some people were like, who's my brother?

And it wasn't. And it wasn't. Definitely wasn't. There was this one particular inbox we got from a woman who she believed her kids, he was actually their teacher, which does add up with the information you gave us so far. Yeah, the ages kind of line up. Okay. So we are now at the point where we've found his Facebook jewels. Okay.

We think, we're pretty sure. Because we've shown you the picture of the guy. Yeah. And you've confirmed that, yes, you believe that is the guy you were talking to on Bumble. Yeah, but I can't believe you found a Facebook page and I didn't. I thought I was good at that. Well, girl, you have no idea how good Brie is at stalking people

online. I mean, it's my part-time job. If it wasn't impressive, it would be terrifying. So Jules, here's the news for you. We have made contact, we have reached out and we have messaged Tim from Christchurch from Burnside's Facebook page and

joining us on the show right now, it's not Tim. Oh, my God. That is so cool. He hasn't seen the messages yet. He hasn't messaged us back yet. But he hasn't checked his social media yet. He's busy. He's busy doing teaching and raising the youth of the future, girl.

It's the holidays. Yeah, that's true. Oh, then he's busy. He's busy out there being outdoorsy. He might be on a tramp. Yeah, what do you like? He might be in the gym. He might be in the gym, yeah Yeah, that's true. Oh, then he's busy. He's busy out there being outdoorsy. He might be on a tramp. Yeah, what do you like? He might be in the gym. He might be in the gym, yeah, in that home gym.

We don't know. What are you feeling like, though, Jules? We've tracked down his Facebook page. We have him. He just needs to respond. I'm still, like, I'm so scared. Like, because, I mean, everyone keeps saying to me the worst thing that could happen is he's got someone.

And I said, no, it's not. It could be that he's single and he's not interested. Oh, no way. No. If I know Tim from Burnside, if he's got someone. And I said, no, it's not. It could be that he's single and he's not interested. Oh, no way. No, if I know Tim from Burnside, if he's single, he's definitely going to be interested in Jules. He'll be so keen to go for a drink and a meal. So here's the thing we need you to prepare for, Jules. It's highly likely that we will hear back from him in the next 24 hours.

And if that happens, we tomorrow would like to connect you with him live on the radio. Yeah, sure. One last question for you, Jules. If that happens and we connect you with Tim from Burnside from Christchurch, do you think he's going to remember you? Oh, my God. I'd be really disappointed if he didn't.

Did you? Because we don't know what sort of stuff you're exchanging on Bumble. Did you send anything raunchy? Oh, okay. All right, Tim's going to remember you. Enough said. All right. Jules, you're back on with us tomorrow, regardless of what happens, okay?

So please keep your phone on. Yep, sure. Gear yourself up. Thank you, guys. Potentially tomorrow we could be connecting the long lost lovers. Jules and Tim from Bumble. Watch this space, everybody. Brian Clint.

Interesting study out today that suggests that New Zealanders would rather give up indoor gardening for three months than sacrifice their phones or technology. Really? They'd rather go without a dig in the indoor garden. Yeah. Rather than not have the access to their Instagram and things like that. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Is this single people which don't have any guaranteed indoor gardening scheduled? Or is this people in relationships? It's both.

It's just a wide canvassing range of New Zealanders in different relationship statuses. Here's the interesting bit. So 51% said that they would choose Netflix, TV, and their phones over indoor gardening. And of that 51%, 64% of women said that. 64% of women would choose tech over... I'm shocked. They would rather... Oh my god!

What? Those results came out of nowhere. And the men, the men, are they lying? Yeah, what did the men say? There's no stats on them, but they must have made up. It must have been more like 30% of men said, oh, no. No, no, no.

30% of men must have chosen phones, and then the rest, 70% said, I'm keen for it. Just went the other way. Let's conduct a quick snap poll here, you and I. Okay. So I'm going to poll you. Oh, no, bad words. Can you not? I'm going to survey you.

Okay. Bad choice of words. I've got five things and I want you to rank them in order. First being the thing that you would give up first. Can I write them down? If you need to. Second. Don't sound so annoying. And last. Well, it's only five things. I've got a small brain. Okay. And then last is the last thing you would want to give up. Okay? Okay. So first is the thing you would give up first.

First thing I would give up straight away. Yeah. Just for a three-month period. Okay. Okay. The three items. Yes. Indoor gardening.

I thought it was five. Five items. Sorry. The five items. You're right. Indoor gardening. Yep. Your phone.

Phone. Streaming services. Like Netflix. Netflix. Netflix. Neon. Neon. Lightbox. TVNZ on demand. Yeah. All of that. All of services. Like Netflix. Netflix, Neon. Neon. Lightbox.

TVNZ On Demand. Yeah. All of that. All of that. Okay. Chocolate. Chocolate. And alcohol.

Ooh. Okay. All of life's greatest pleasures. Saucy. All the things that you use to relax and unwind. Right. So I need to know what's the first thing of those things, what's the first thing you'd give up? I'd have to say the first thing

would be chocolate. Okay. I'd agree. Pretty easy one for me. I'd agree. I'd go without chocolate. Yeah, I could do, I can, you know, have heaps of other things. Yeah. You know, there's lots of other things. Like streaming services. Yeah. Or intercourse. Lots of other foods I can have. Alright, chocolate's out. Chocolate's out.

Oh. I know. We're only at four I know, but it's already hard Alcohol, I'm not saying that one yet Streaming services Come on Chuck one in there Three months And then you can have it all back

I'd love my streaming services. Yeah, that's fine. I'd probably, okay, fine, alcohol. Alcohol, okay. Alcohol's number four. God, that was painful. We're only at number three. Okay, what's number three on the list of things you would most,

the order of which you'd give them up for? Three months. For three months. The things remaining are your phone, indoor gardening, and streaming services. Streaming services. I'd probably have to say

next would be indoor gardening. I'm glad you're being honest. I'm glad you're being honest. If I'm being honest, I probably would have put it before our roll. Okay, it's time to reflect, everybody, on hopefully a year well spent. If I'm being honest, I probably would have put it before our roll. Bree and Clint. Okay, it's time to reflect, everybody, on hopefully a year well spent. Well, it's only been half a year.

Exactly. It's July. But a hell of a long year at that. 2020 may end up being the longest year. I'm ready to get out of 2020 already. In history, right? I like that movement that on the 31st of June, people are like, it's six months in. Let's have New Year's Eve now and restart 2020. Let's do that.

And I did. Mentally I did. So I'm in a new year. So let's reflect on last year's aka 2020's New Year's resolutions. What? No one does this. No. Well, we do. No, I don't want to. We do. Me, the visionary on the team,

decided on our first show back on on january the 13th that we should commit our new year's resolutions to tape and then we would reflect on them six months later and see how we were going and here we are six months later god you revolutionize radio i know i know in fact here's proof we all share our new year's resolutions. Okay. And then, Ben, you put a reminder in your calendar six months from today. So July the 13th. July the 13th. Yeah. And we re-listen to what we've said here.

Oh, I think I'm going to be away. And then we'll be able to check. Bing bong. It's been six months. Now, spoiler alert. Bree did not pay us the attention that it deserved. And because of that, because of that. I'm not included.

No, you are included. But you may not get the morale boosting effects that you'd hoped for. Because you poo-pooed it. You were like, dumb, I'm going to not do real resolutions. I'm not a believer in New Year's resolutions. Well, I can tell you that is true. I'm not a sheep. Shall we have a listen to your new year's resolutions and then we'll go through them and see how many you've achieved okay are we doing me first yeah we're doing you first okay okay here

it is uh my first new year's resolution i'm not going to straighten my hair for a year i'm going to wash my sheets more often i'm going to less. I'm going to eat more takeaways. So, like I said, she didn't take it seriously. I've done pretty well. I'm going to straighten my hair today so that one I could pick up, you know, pick it up, take it up a notch. You've been straightening your hair all year. So, it's a no to that one.

Your second one, wash my sheets more often. I have done that because my partner's done it. Okay. All right. A loophole. You had to do it. A loophole. What constitutes more often, I have done that because my partner's done it. Okay. A loophole. You had to do it. Loophole. What constitutes more often, by the way? I'm going to say more than every three weeks. Yeah, I think in that audio you said

two and a half weeks. Okay. I was lying. It was definitely three to four. Your third New Year's resolution, exercise less. I don't know if I could have exercised less. I was going to say, is it possible? Hey, I've been walking. Hey! That was during lockdown. Yeah, I don't know if I could have exercised less. No, I was going to say, is it possible? Hey, I've been walking. Hey.

That was during lockdown. Yeah, I haven't been walking for a while. So technically, maybe you've exercised more. Yeah. Oh, yeah. I need to pick up my game on this. By exercising more, you've failed. And finally, eat more takeaways.

Yeah. I really haven't done that one. Have you not? No. Right. I've been cooking a lot and to be honest... Just I've been watching your Instagram stories where you're in a competitive competition with the Domino's pizza delivery guy. So to me it seems like... That was

one night. It seems like getting takeaways has become more of a sport to you. You leave Gerald out of this. So you, what do we say? Hair straightening fail. You're 50-50 I'll get takeaways tonight Then we get to Ben's New Year's resolution

I want to know what it was Just maybe live a bit more fast and loose Just out of the blue, I'm going to do something tonight What? This is not what I'm talking about So he didn't pay any attention either I thought it was good So fine, we'll reflect on yours Have you lived more fast and loose? So he didn't pay any attention either. Fast and young, bad girls do it well. So fine, we'll reflect on yours. Have you lived more fast than loose?

Yeah, I randomly booked a camper van and just went for it. Yes, you did. Congratulations. Thanks, mate. Very nice. You wore double denim on the weekend. I saw that. That's true.

We do have an issue. There's no audio of Clint. You didn't even put it down. No, I didn't get to do one because you guys took the piss out of it so much that now my dream of reflecting on what my New Year's resolution would have been six months on, I don't even know. And I don't even remember what my goddamn New Year's resolution was. I remember it was whingeless.

Go and wash your sheets. And you really failed I remember it was Wingeless Global smiles. Register. Fill up. Redeem points for rewards. Easy. If you enjoyed this podcast, why not give ZM's Fletchbourne and Megan a listen too? Subscribe on the iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcasts. ZM.
