Hi everybody, welcome to the Brie and Clint podcast. Brie, do you want the opportunity of a lifetime? What's that? I'm going to give you one shot to get one of those M&M peanuts into my mouth. No. But I'll cover my teeth. No. I can't wait to see.

You'll cover your teeth? Yeah. It won't hurt me if I cover my teeth. No, because what if it goes down the back of your throat and then I have to give you the Heimlich? Well, that'd be a fun experience for both of us and the cameras are on. Don't throw straight. Do a little lob up. We'll do it together.

You ready? Oh no. You just lob it up and I'll do it together. You ready? Oh, no. You just lob it up and I'll do the hard work, okay? Okay. Three, two, one. Oh. We need a bit more lob.

Sorry, chance of a lifetime part two. Okay, ready? Three, two, one. Oh, too short. That was way too short. Don't put her in the black cast. And don't feed me that one off the ground. Give me a fresh M&M.

Okay, this is the last chance. This is the last chance. Can I get some cheers from you guys or something? Some sort of support? Yeah, that's good, guys. Some kind of Clint. Clint. Clint.

Clint. Clint. Come on, mate. Hey, wait, wait. Save the anthem for when I get it. Okay, sorry. Yeah, I'm ready now. Okay, ready?

All right, go. Oh. Good try. Good try. Good try. Good try. I'm still eating the M&M. I need an M&M. Anyway.

Hey, I have something to share. Oh, yeah. I've got a clarification to do for the podcast too, so you do that and then I don't want to forget. I'm just saying it out loud and then you do. I took a big step yesterday in my skiing career. Do you buy a snowboard? No.

Okay, I'm just saying. You don't ski on a snowboard. I can't snowboard. I can barely ski. Did you buy a season pass? I bought my own ski boots. But you don't have any skis. That is a good point, Clint.

But they say the boots are everything. Okay. Are you planning on going to the snow? Yeah. When are you going to go? I'll come. Well, yeah. Do you want to come?

How much do these boots cost? How much do the boots cost? A fair bit. How much do the boots cost? A fair bit. Because here's the thing. If you're going to buy them, you may as well spend the money. Yeah, but if you're only going to go to the snow once a year

would you not be better to rent the best boots that you could? Yeah, but see these boots These boots not only do I have soles where I had to stand on this thing and they're moulded perfectly to my arches so they give you support and they will put those insteps into the boots,

I'm going back at some point this week and they actually mould the whole shape of the boot to your ankle. Yeah, right. That is handy. You've got bad ankles. I do have bad ankles. That is handy. It's pretty amazing technology.

Have you ever seen it? What if you have an ankle blowout? Like you get cankles later in life. Anyway, I'm being a pessimist. Good on you, mate. Good on you. You know, I just thought I'll buy the boots this year and then I might buy skis next year.

Can you clip your boots into rental skis? Yes. Oh, all right. Yeah. So I can still rent skis, but I'll be more comfortable. Can you ski? I'm not. I mean, you shouldn't ask me.

You should ask my brother. He's the skier that's seen me ski. This is a real Clint and the GoPro situation. You know that, eh? No, I think I'm not bad. To be honest, I think I'm not. I thought I was not bad at the GoPro. That was so fun.

Yeah, it is kind of that situation. Just a little bit. I'll actually use my boots, though. That's what I said about the GoPro. When are you going to go? Have you got a plan? Well, if you're interested. I am.

And you are most welcome, and you, Anastasia. I was going to go, oh, we should all go. The only way I'm going to be able to go is if it's for work. It is for work. We can make it for you. It is. Which ski field are we? Kadrona. I love Kadrona. In Wan for work. It is for work. We can make it for you. It is. Which ski field are we? Kadrona. I love Kadrona!

In Wanaka. So this is the deal. So you know how we're going to... No, but listen. Hear me out. So we fly to Christchurch. Sorry, I need an M&M. Oh, for the Friday Okie. Yeah, for the Friday Okie live. So this is what I'm proposing. Then after that

instead of flying home, we fly to Wanaka, where my partner has a free batch for all of us to stay. Right, okay. And then we stay there for however many days until we have to fly to Dunedin. Auckland. Dunedin. Oh, right. No, and then we'll fly to Dunedin.

Oh, we do a show from the South Island for the week? Yeah. God, this is really abusing our privilege. I like it. This has gone big. Yeah, we should do that. the South Island for the week? Yeah. God, this is really abusing our privilege. I like it. This has gone big. Yeah, we should do that. I'm in full support of this. How do we sell it to Ross Boss?

Yeah. Because it means that we're not in the studio for a whole week. No, but we could do it out of, we could do like, can we drive to Queenstown every day and broadcast out of our studio there? Yeah, but see, there's not as much relaxing then. No. Is there a station in Wallingham? It's not a week off.

Actually, what about. Oh there a station in Warwick? It's not a week off. Actually, what about... Should we take the brick? Yeah, you take the brick and then broadcast out of the bar every day up the mountain. No, we're not doing that. No? No, that's too much admin. Oh, no, see, I'm keen. I'm keen for that.

Of course you're keen. You've got the boots. Guys, I need to get full wear. It's still expensive, you know, to go skiing every day or whatever it is. Mate, mate, mate, mate, sorry. Sorry, we need to inject money back into the local economy. Yeah, that is also true. Support local and whatnot.

Yeah, buy local. And we don't have to go skiing every day. There's lots to do in Wanaka. It's beautiful. That's true. Yeah, it is nice. Anyway, the offer's there. Plus, we can't go skiing every day.

We've got a job to do. Oh, yeah, that's right. Yeah. Hate that. Hate that for us. Yeah, put it on the maybe pile. Yeah. No, but I'm a skier now, so. Yeah, right's right. Hate that. Hate that for us. Yeah, put it on the maybe pile. No, but I'm a skier now, so. Yeah, right.

What year are you going to buy the poles? You can use my hiking poles. Oh, yeah, I could. That would look cool, wouldn't it? Well, it's going to look just about as cool as normal poles. My brother's so good at skiing, doesn't use any poles. It's going to look about as cool as the girl with the custom multi-hundred dollar boats and the rental skis. No one will notice.

Everyone just notices the boots. You know, this is actually quite cool. I nearly was so close to buying these other boots for one feature. So if anyone who goes skiing. Somewhere to hide your weed. No, no, close. Anyone who goes skiing knows that the worst part about being a skier is that when you take the skis off and you go have beersies at the, you know, the lodge or whatever it is in between,

is that your calves just burn because it actually pushes you forward. So like you're not in like a normal standing up position. That's the worst part about wearing ski boots. There was these ski boots at this place yesterday. He called them, the guy called them beer mode, where you like pull this thing out the back and you like unscrew it and it makes you stand more upright. And he goes, and then you put them in beer mode.

That's a genius upset. Isn't it? Were they really expensive or like on par? No, they were cheaper than the ones I got. How much were these boots? They were, you know. How much? $1,000.

Did you say $1,000? You did not say that. You could have got a whole set of everything for that. You don't even ski. You could have bought the whole kit for that price. They were on sale. That doesn't mean that it's a deal. Well, someone's restarting the local economy.

I have bad ankles. Bring on the Winter Olympics, I reckon. Bree's got the boots for it. Right. I'm not going to have to buy boots. A thousand bucks, they don't even go into beer mode. I'm not going to have to buy. Yeah, I know.

Should have got the beer mode, but they weren't as comfortable. There's a bit in the podcast today where we talk about a food that I've just realised that our international listeners will have no idea what it is. Lamington. Oh, lamingtons. Lamington, if I was to describe to you what a lamington is. It's a piece of sponge cake rolled in chocolate. Or jam.

No. Raspberry. Oh, rolled in a chocolate sauce or a raspberry sauce depending on which one you're making and then rolled in coconut there you go that's what it is yeah and it's delicious it's delicious if it's made well are you kidding are you a lamington hater yeah they it's just a sponge with some stuff on the outside. Boys, can we all just join together and ask Anastasia? Are you all right? Are you all right? Are you all right?

Perfectly sane. They're average and overrated. No, they're not. Yep, they are. Lamingtons are the bee's knees. You've got to have a good Lamington though, I understand. Yeah, they can be dry. Half the time they're just dry from the supermarket. Supermarket Lamington's not the one, my G. You've got to have a good Levington, though. I understand. Yeah, they can be dry. Half the time they're just dry from the supermarket.

Supermarket Levington's not the one, my G. But that's the same as most baked items at the supermarket. Do you want me to home make you one? Say yes. Yes, absolutely. Say yes. Sorry. She wants you to make her four.

Why would you hesitate? Do you think I'm not a good cook? Because a sponge is a sponge. Tell her you want to try a chicken parmesan. Oh, yeah, you want to try that? Oh, yeah, chicken parmesan. What would you want to try a chicken parmigiana. Oh, yeah, you want to try that? Oh, yeah, chicken parmigiana. What would you rather? I'll cook you chicken parmigiana.

What would you guys rather? Chicken parmigiana, spaghetti, risotto, minestrone, cannelloni. I don't know what that is. What else can I cook? A rigatoni. Can you do a ravioli? Nah, ravioli's a bit fiddly. Oh.

Yeah. I thought cannelloni was. Did you say cannelloni? No, cannelloni's not as fiddly. Oh. Yeah, I'll go cannelloni. How funny is it, all the Italian names? I don't even know what that is.

Ravioli, cannelloni. They all rhyme with each other. They're just different types of pasta. Pepperoni. Pepperoni. Pepperoni salami. That's a meat. pasta. Pepperoni. Pepperoni. Is pepperoni salami? No, that's a meat. My nono used to make his own salami.

Aw. My dad does. Should we start the podcast? Yeah. No, I'm having fun. Is there a bit on this? What else can we talk about? Is there like a marker where people can see where this shanter ends and the podcast starts?

I missed out on yesterday. No, this is where I feel like we really get to be ourselves. Yeah, too much. Pardon. All right too much. Pardon. All right, that's it. I'm pulling you off. Here's today's podcast. Enjoy it.

And, I mean, men too. Gamer girls in particular. Yeah, everyone was fizzing over it. Do you reckon if someone watched Producer Ben on the Pro Tools, which is the sound-making computer system,

Does your girlfriend find it like sexy when you're on the tools? Yeah, like girls who date tradies. Is she like, oh my God, my boyfriend is a radio tradie. You're on the pro tools,

not the tools. Yeah, not a tradie. She's come into work once and she's like, oh, very fast on the old audio there. Oh, that means she was into it.

Nice, okay. Well, you should get yourself a little Fisher Price radio set up for at home so you can impress her back there. That'd be good for you. Hey, okay. Nice, okay. Well, you should get yourself a little Fisher Price radio set up for at home so you can impress her back there. That'd be good for you. Hey, today on the show, we're giving away $500 cash with Bonus Banger. On the show, before 5 o'clock today,

you're going to hear this song from Carleed and Disclosure. And when you do, thanks to our friends at Save My Bacon, a smarter way to borrow, the first person to call us is going to take $500 cash away. That's right. And as Clint said, we're going to take $500 cash away. That's right. And as Clint said, we're going to do that before 5pm today. Next, though, a crazy number of New Zealanders, it turns out, never bothered to get their full licence.

This is so weird. I was literally talking about this with my partner on the weekend. Right, has she got her full licence? Yeah. Have you got your full licence? Of course I do. Have you got your New Zealand licence? I think so. Can you drive your full licence? Of course I do. Have you got your New Zealand licence? I think so.

Can you drive a manual? Yes! We're going to talk to those people, which might be you, sitting in your car with your yellow licence card listening to us. We're going to talk about that next. Bree and Clint, ZM. Bree and Clint. Hey, here's a terrifying stat for you.

46,000 New Zealand drivers have stayed on their restricted or learner licenses for 10 years or longer. That's so long. 46,000 New Zealanders. So that means that those people are out there without ever having been formally approved to drive by a qualified driving instructor. They've got to the restricted part. Right. But they've never set the full driver's license test, which says, yep, cool, you're now sweet to take passengers

and drive whenever you want. Right, so just explain it to me because I'm the Aussie in the room. Restricted is like your P plates? No, learners is that. Learners is P plates. L plates, learners, yes. Right. So that's the first one. So we've got

L plates. Oh, okay. Well, I'll tell you what it is and you can tell me what that can be. So learners, six months minimum. And you only have to do a written test for that one, right? You only have to do a written test. You can only drive with a fully licensed driver in the passenger's seat. That's not intoxicated. It's not intoxicated. You can't just be

sober D for your dad. And they have to have had their license for two years. Yes. And you can't just be sober D for your dad. Yeah. And they have to have had their license for two years. Yes. And you can't drive after 10pm. Mm-hmm. And then restricted, you can drive by yourself. Yep. And you can take passengers if there is a fully licensed driver of two years who's not intoxicated in the front seat.

Yeah. Yeah. And that's when you can take passengers? I think so. And you can only go a certain speed? Well, no, you've got to do the speed limit. Yeah. And that's when you can take passengers. I think so. And you can only go a certain speed? Well, you know, you've got to do the speed limit. Oh, because in New Zealand, in New South Wales, I think it is, like if you're on, there's a couple of different colours,

you can only go like 90 k's. Oh, right. And that's why you've got to have the plate. Yeah. People are like, get out of the way. And you're like, I'm out of my bloody P plates. 20,000 drivers stuck on their learners and 20,000 drivers on their restricted for 10 years or more.

So how do you get out of your restricted here in New Zealand? You go and sit the test. Right, so that's all you... It's a driving test. You're in the car with a driving instructor and he goes, yeah, cool, you know everything. You're good to go. So you don't have to do a certain amount of Ks

when you're on your restricted or anything like that? No, it's not like a pilot's license. That's what you have to do in Aussie these days. How would they know? How would they know how many hours you've done? You have to fill out a book. Yeah, right. It's ridiculous.

If you have been on your restricted for 10 years, it seems like you are never going to get your license. I think you just get to a point where you're like. You've just given up, right? Or maybe those people have won the lotto and they have chauffeurs. Maybe that's the case. I reckon that's probably what it is. I would love to talk to some people this afternoon on the show

who are in this situation, who have had their restricted or even worse, their learners for a really long time. And why haven't you decided to, or maybe they have tried. Maybe you've tried to get your license and failed a bunch of times. Because did you? How many times did you fail? I failed my learners.

Excuse me. I failed my learners once. Okay. Because I went in real gung-ho on my birthday and I went road code, schmode code. And I went and set the test and realised I didn't know anything about tread depth, anything about towing trailers.

Oh, you've got to know tread depth. I was like, I know what, I know how to drive. Dad's had me on his knee driving the manual for ages. And so I failed my learners and it was one of the most shameful days of my life telling my dad that I'd failed my learners licence. And he was like, oh, that's fine, maybe you should read the road code. Makes sense.

Have you been on your restricted or your learners for a really long time? We want to talk to you this afternoon. Our phone lines are open on 0800DIALZM. Or you can text us on 9696. Bree and Clint. Well, this is quite crazy. 46,000 New Zealanders have been on their restricted or learners for 10 years or more.

And I think all 46,000 of them are ZM listeners. I think they've all just texted in. We've found them. They're all calling. They're all here. My favourite one is the person who's texted through and they said oh my god guys, I've literally just walked out of the VTNZ

after paying to get a replacement restricted licence as it expired during lockdown. This is my third restricted licence. Okay, you person, turn around. This is a sign for you. Go back into that VTNZ and book your full licence. Yeah, just book it.

Just book it. Should we go with them? Should we go with them as support? As moral support. Yeah. We wouldn't be allowed in the car is the issue. Wouldn't that be nice? We could take them there and we could pump them up.

What if we hire them a limo and we say to the instructor, look, we'll be as far back as possible. Yeah. And they just sit there full licence driving a limo. I wouldn't mind that. Are you like this? Have you been on your restricted or your learners for a really long time? Raynor, good afternoon.

Hi, Raynor. Hi. Hello. What's the deal? I have been on my learners now for nearly seven years. Raynor, what are you doing? Have you given it a go at least? Have you tried to do the driving test?

Yeah, no. No, I did. But the instructor really didn't like me from the get-go. So I failed. So you failed and ever since then you haven't got back on the horse? No, I've been meaning to get around to it. Meaning to get around to it? Seven years, Raina. Seven years.

How busy are you? Can you drive? Yeah. You can drive? Yeah. Yeah, right. So you probably get it like that now because you've had seven years practice. Well, actually, you're on your learners. Do you drive? Yep. Yeah, right. So you probably get it like that now because you've had seven years practice. Actually, you're on your learners.

Do you drive? Yes. You just do it. Yes, I do. Yeah, right. Okay. All right. Thank you, Raina.

We don't condone that, by the way. Bree and Clint Corporation. Hi, Jess. Hello. Jess, how long have you been on your restricted or your learners for? I've been on my restricted since I was 17 and I'm now 33. Oh, that's a good effort, Jess. I'm going to clap you in on that.

You restricted people are a special breed because you just got over that second hump and you're like, this is fine. Jess. I'm good with this. Yeah. I need to ask, is this actually a life hack that you figured out a long time ago that if you never get your full licence, you don't have to take any passengers? Well, it does help with the school trip.

Wait, wait, you're a mum? Yep. How do you get away with it? Have you ever been pulled over by a cop? No, because I'm never out after five. I've got three kids. Yeah, right. Okay, all right.

Good work, Jess. So true, Jess. Thank you. Andrew's here. Hey, Andrew. Hey, guys. How are we going? here. Hey, Andrew. Hey, guys. How are we going? Good, thanks, Andrew.

How long has it been, mate? Well, I'm 37 and I got my restricted when I was 17, so it's been a solid 20 years. Andrew, Andrew, tell me, how many times did you actually try and get your opens? I've not tried because I justify it to myself that I've been with my partner 20 years. She's got her full for the last 18.

So if I'm ever out after hours, it's with her anyway. Plus, with being on your restricted, you're allowed to have your dependents in the car so I'm allowed to drive with my son. So it's just, to me, an additional cost to actually get no further game. Yeah, I see, Andrew, but wouldn't it

give you an immense sense of pride to get that green card and no? It'd be like graduating, wouldn't it? Oh, I guess it would be like this, Clint. If you got something for free every day of the year and you could have gotten it for the same thing that paid for it, wouldn't that be pride as well, getting away with no pay?

Yeah, no, you've got me there, Andrew. No, he's got a good point. You've got a really, really good point. He's got a good point. You've cheated the system and I applaud you for it. Well done. Also, after 20 years, I feel like they should just email you and go, you know what, you can just have it. Yeah, we'll just give it to you. Come on, you know, pull your finger and just get it sorted.

I understand I should get it, but I also don't see any incentive to get it. Yeah, I see. All right, thank you, Andrew. We're going to go one more from Sandy. Hi, Sandy. Hi, Sandy. Hi, how are you? Good, thanks, Andrew. We're going to go one more from Sandy. Hi, Sandy. Hi, Sandy. Hi, how are you? Good, thanks, Sandy.

Tell us how long has it been that you've been on your restricted or learners for? Okay, well, I've now graduated up to my full, but I rung up because I heard Clint say that people that have been on their licences for ages don't graduate up. But I was on my restricted. Well, I got my full when I was 34, and now I'm 38. Oh, yes.

Wait. So I just graduated up, so I had my restricted for 20 years. I started driving when I was 10. But you made it out. You crossed the line. Yeah, you're an inspiration. Yeah, well done. And now I've got my truck licenses and all of that. Your truck license. Sandy! Yeah, you're an inspiration. Yeah, well done. And now I've got my truck licenses and all of that. Your truck

license. Sandy, what gave you the push after having it for 20 years to go, oh, I might go for my Opens now? All of my fines. Like I've paid off a mortgage. Thanks, Sandy. There you go, New Zealand. Maybe that motivated

you or maybe Andrew just convinced you to never go and sit your full license whatsoever. Either or, you go, New Zealand. Maybe that motivated you, or maybe Andrew just convinced you to never go and sit your full licence. Either or. Drive safely, New Zealand. Bree and Clint from iHeartRadio. This is The Latest. Live from LA with Dean McCarthy. Dean, the title of the richest athlete in the world has been revealed, and it's not Cristiano Ronaldo.

Oh, thank God. I'm bored of being that guy. Yeah, it's someone else. Who is it? Oh, yeah, look, he wins the hottest award. That's another story. But today the richest has been revealed. It is Michael Jordan.

Now, here's the thing, right? So he didn't make all his money playing the game. I think his contract was $90 million during his career, which is nothing to be sneezed at. He made his money on those Air Jordans. Those Nike Air Jordans make $3 billion a year. He owns a huge chunk of it. Then he's got, yeah.

$3 billion a year he makes out of shoes. Yeah, those shoes go nuts. Whoa. Yeah, just think about it. Our whole life, they have been hot sellers as long as I can remember, and I'm only 21, so it hasn't even been that long. But basically, he owns car dealerships. He owns another sport team.

Don't ask me what it is. You know, this is not my realm. But look, he's made a ton of cash. Number two is some Romanian tennis player or something. I thought it would be Tiger Woods. He made a ton of cash too, didn't he? Wasn't he a billionaire at one point? Yeah, but hookers are expensive.

Yeah. Oh. No, they're not. Yeah. Clint. He lived a lavish lifestyle for a bit. Also, I hear a big part of Michael Jordan's, because I've watched the doco last dance,

a lot of his income came from his illegal gambling as well. Right? No, it did not. We do not condone that at all. I didn't say I condone it. I'm just saying Michael Jordan. It absolutely did not. He likes a flutter.

He does like... He's a man who enjoys a flutter. Yeah, but none of his... I assure you none of his net worth or any of it has come from that. You can't assure me of that. Oh, no, I can. You can't assure me of that.

Jordan's making $3 billion a year. I think we all know where it's coming from. Yeah, but if you like to gamble, you like to gamble. Also, side story, Dean McCarthy sent us a video today driving past Channing Tatum's house, where if you've listened to this show for a while, we went to LA to try and find him because he followed Bree for a while on Instagram.

No, he still follows me. He still follows you. He just leaves you on scene. Yes. Dean, a very interesting observation outside the Tatum mansion today from you. Yes, as you may recall, of course, I was driving past and I noticed in the bushes, I'm like, wait, what is that?

Someone had wedged a ladder over the fence of Chenning Tatum Mansion compound and you can just see the top of the ladder coming through the bushes. Yeah. And it appears someone, who shall remain nameless, rhymes with re, starts with b. Could have been up to her old tricks. And coincidentally didn't show up to work yesterday. So you do the math, New Zealand. You know, you put the pieces together.

I did learn it, Udi. They told me, you know, to get to the top, you need to climb that ladder. She's going over the wall of success. That's Dean McArthur. He's our Hollywood correspondent. Thanks, Dean. Bree and Clint. Return of the iconic segment made popular on this show,

the number one show for maritime and aviation-based news. Excited to bring this back today, Bree. It's the return of maritime news. I feel like that ship's got shorter. Like the horn got shorter. No, it's not a short ship. No, it's not. No, true.

I think it's a perfectly long enough ship. Local ship news. And bear with us. Local ship news. This doesn't come around very often. The recent stormy weather has uncovered the bones of a shipwreck off the South Taranaki coast that's been there for almost 100 years.

Whoa! Did the ship sink with any treasure? We don't know. I don't believe it did. Well, let's look it up. Let's look it up. The ship is called the SS Waitangi and it was wrecked at Patia

in South Taranaki in 1923 because it ran on the rocks. Now it was a freezer works ship, so it's not that exciting. Would have been cooler if it was pirates. Pirates in 1923 in Taranaki. Did they not exist? Pirates still exist now, don't they? Well, good point.

Okay. No, I'm keen. Maybe it was pirates. We're a bit rusty on the old maritime news. No, well, I'm doing mine off fact and you're doing yours off. No, fact. Pirates still exist. Fact, pirates exist.

And there's a few different types. Fact, there's no evidence linking pirates to the Waitangi, which has run aground in Patia. Anyway, anyway, anyway, it's been on the beach since 1923. It got buried by the sand just naturally. on the ground in Patia. Anyway, anyway, anyway, it's been on the beach since 1923. It got buried by the sand just naturally. And because it's been so stormy now, it's come uncovered. And you can go and look at it.

That ship was built in 1889. Wow. Right? That thing is haunted AF. 100% it's haunted AF. That is haunted. Like you can go, you can climb into the boiler that's on the ship. No, no, no, no. You can...

Nah. I don't know what else you would do on an old Freezer Works ship. Maybe you could look and see if there's any... You look for treasure. Yeah, but what sort of treasure would there be? I don't know, a meat tray? Some lamb chops? Yeah, something.

Anyway, look... Very cool. It's not our choice to bring you ship news, and I know it's not the normal thing to do, but when you're the leading show for maritime and aviation news, you're going to give the people what they want. Three for luck. Along the horn.

Bree and Clint. Talk to me about tattoos. I want to talk to you about, I find this really interesting, because tattoo, I think tattoo positions on the body go through like phases. So like people, they get real obsessed with like the ribs was really in for a while. And then. Lower back before that. Lower back before that.

And then behind the ear. Under boob is really popular at the moment. That's quite popular. I think Rihanna started that ages ago. Yeah. But well, she was way ahead of the curve. Harry Styles got it. Was it Harry who got it?

No, who's the guy? Justin. Justin got it. Yeah. Anyway, I found this quite interesting. Apparently there's a new trend that's happening. Yeah. And it's in a place that you're probably never, ever going to guess.

Oh, good. Where are we getting our tattoos now? Where do you think is the new trendy place to get a tattoo? Knowing you and knowing the type of story you'd bring, it's probably a gooch tattoo. No it's not. I have more class than that, thank you very much. Do you think you could get it tattooed? I reckon you could, yeah. They can tattoo your eyeballs, of course they can tattoo. Can you imagine the position you would have to sit in?

Yeah, I can picture it. While they got it done? You'd look like you're having a baby, I think. Yeah. No, it's not that area around the body. Okay, no, it's not that. It's actually the roof of your mouth. Ugh, nah, no thank you.

Because, you know, everyone went through that stage of getting the inside of their lip. And I heard the reason that that was so popular Is because did you know your inside lip tattoo doesn't last forever? Yeah it eventually goes away It eventually heals itself over and it goes away So you can get something horrific written in there Which I've seen a few And no one can see it until you pull your lip down

And then after a while when it's not funny anymore it'll be gone Yeah Kind of genius I think it takes a fair while to fade, though, I'm pretty sure. But these are hardcore and it's literally in the roof of your mouth. That would hurt so much. Can you imagine, like, the only person that's going to see that tattoo is your dentist? Or someone who's shorter than you if you open your mouth too much.

Can you imagine the poor tattoo artist who's having to tattoo these people who have got stinky breath and they think they've got great oral hygiene? That'd be one where they would make you Listerine constantly during the tattoo process. God, that would hurt. Also, I'm looking at the angle and tattoo guns are quite long. I wonder if you have to have a special type of tattoo gun to get into

the roof of the mouth of someone. Might have to be skinnier maybe. I don't know. Like a right angle one. Pretty crazy, which made me think we might not know about a bunch of different like weird places you can get tattooed. Yeah. I want to know from people who've maybe had this done or they've seen someone or they know someone. And that's why I came up with this. You sure you want to do this?

Just checking. No, I won't. Yeah, I'm sure. You sure you want to do it? Just checking. No, I won't. Yeah, I'm sure, yeah. You sure you want to do it? Yeah, positive. Just go confident again. Say that thing. And that's why I've come up with this.

Because I got tattoos in weird places. Yep. Confident. Now that I hear it on air, it sounds even better. Even better, yeah. Sounds good. And that's what we're asking this afternoon. Do you have a tattoo in a weird place?

0800 dial ZM or you can text us on 9696. We'll get your stories on after topic. No regrets for that. No regrets. We'll replay that too. I've seen someone with Savage tattooed on the inside of their lip before. Was it Savage? No.

Oh, really? No. Oh, it might have been. Actually, I can't remember. You know where that was trending. Everyone was getting those kind of words. I think you'd know if it was Savage that you saw was Savage tattooed inside his. Yeah.

I think it makes sense. I thought you were saying as in was it Savage? Oh, was the tattoo itself Savage? Yes. Yeah, no, I meant was the person savage? Oh, right. We got our savages mixed up. We're talking about the new place that people are getting tattooed.

Apparently it's trending now to get the inside roof of your mouth tattooed. Yeah, careful with how much you follow that trend. It doesn't look good. All the pictures I've seen, it does not look good. I haven't seen one that looks good. I'm not going to say it looks bad. It looks like you've got like a charging port in the top of the roof of your mouth that no one's meant to see.

But you and I were talking about with the one on the inside of your lip, you kind of can pull it down and show people, whereas if you get the inside roof of your mouth tattooed, you have to like show all your fillings and everything. Yeah, you want to have really good oral hygiene game if you're going to be showing people with the roof of your mouth tattooed. The dentist will have fun. He'll be like, ooh, something to look at.

So we've asked you this afternoon on 0800 dial ZM, do you have a tattoo in a weird place with this? Because I got tattoos in weird places. Because I got tattoos in weird places. About time I bring a bit more

country music to the show. What even is that song? Oh mate, it is one of the best country songs of all time. I've got friends in low places. About time I bring a bit more country music to the show. What even is that song? Oh, mate, it is one of the best country songs of all time. I've Got Friends in Low Places. By whom? Garth Brooks. Right. Oh, it's a bloody ripper. Oh, it is a ripper.

It is a ripper. We've got some calls. Lauren, hi. Hey, how are you? Good, thanks, Lauren. Where's the tattoo that you think's in a weird place that you've got? So it's not actually my tattoo, but my auntie got her eyeliner tattooed and she said it was more painful than having a baby.

Oh, God. I've heard of eyebrows, obviously. So on the insides of her eyelids, she's had it tattooed. Yeah, just like where a woman put eyeliners, but she's Australian, so. Oh, yeah, sounds like Australia. Struth. Sounds like Australia.

Got to save myself three and a half minutes in the morning. Tattoo me eyeliner on. No, you have no idea how good that would be, right, Lauren? It'd be a bloody breeze. Nope, okay. No, Lauren's like, I just said it was the most painful thing she's ever done. Who else have we got? Let's talk to Rebecca.

Hi, Rebecca. Hi, Bec. Hi, how's it going? Good, thanks. Is it you that has a tattoo in a weird place? Yep. Where is it? On the palm of my hand. Oh, yeah, that's it going? Good, thanks. Is it you that has a tattoo in a weird place? Yep. Where is it? On the palm of my hand.

Oh, yeah, that's unusual. What is it? What's the tattoo? It's the symbol for Scorpio. Oh, right, okay. Oh, and hey, Beck, while we've got you, did you see that they added the new horoscope into the line-up? Yeah, I'm sorry, not buying it, though.

Yeah, right, what if that means you're not a Scorpio anymore? Yeah, but you sorry, not buying it though. Yeah, right. What if that means you're not a Scorpio anymore? But you're saying you're full Scorpio, you reckon? Yeah. That's right,

you've got another hand. If it comes out you're a different star. Do it on the other hand. Do it on the other hand. Hannah, where have you got your tattoo in a weird place?

G'day guys, how you doing? Good, thanks Hannah. My brother got two X's like a dead cartoon character on his full eyelids. Oh, no way. He had a skin space, so his eyelids nicked up. And does it look good?

Yeah. What do you mean? Great. Hannah, can I ask, is he fully, like, does he have a lot of tattoos, your brother? Yeah. This one was his 86th one. Yeah, right. Okay. Yeah, it's not really the first tattoo that you go and get, is it,, your brother? Yeah. Yeah. Oh, yeah. That was his 86th one. Yeah, right. Okay. Yeah, it's not really the first tattoo that you go

and get, is it, on your eyelids? I can see the comedy in that, though. The X's? Yeah. I like the idea of, or do I like it, tattooing eyes on your eyelids? Oh, yeah, that's kind of funny. You know, you used to draw them on when you were at school so the teacher would think you were awake? That's quite funny. Finally, Jacob, where's your tattoo

in a weird place? Hey, guys. It's not actually me even though, where's your tattoo in a weird place? Hey, guys. It's not actually me even though I've got a few in a weird place with myself. You can't mention those on radio, can you, Jacob?

I probably could have to, but I actually used to work in a tattoo shop in a reception. Oh, yeah? And this boyfriend and this lady came into the shop

asking for a tattoo and she wanted the word D-A-B-E-N right just above her lady part. She wanted Baben, B-A-B-E-N, Baben, right across her lady part. What? And she got all flowers and decorations around it. And just confirming, Jacob, you were not a tattoo artist. You were just in reception? No, no, I was just in reception.

You didn't have to do that job. No, but I was around in there and helped set it up. Oh, Jacob. They must see some weird stuff in there. Can you imagine? I'm just trying to think of how painful that would be. Imagine. Oh, she did tear up. Did she? It was very painful in there. Can you imagine? I'm just trying to think of how painful that would be. Imagine. Oh, she did tear up.

Did she? It was very painful. Can I ask you? I've always wondered this, Jacob. Can tattoo artists say no? If you come in and a tattoo artist thinks that the tattoo

you want to get is a bad idea, can they say no, I'm not doing that because I don't like it? Absolutely, yep. Yeah, right. Not that there's anything wrong

with getting babing on your lady parts. I'm just saying. No, no. It's also a good option. You've got every right to say yes or no. Yeah, right. Not that there's anything wrong with getting babing on your lady parts. I'm just saying in general. No, no. It's also a good option. You've got every right to say yes or no. Yeah. Some places, some tattoo artists won't touch,

and some will happily do it, so it's really up to the tattoo artist themselves. Fascinating. Also a good option now to know that if you've had laser hair removal, you can always get it tattooed back on. It's a good option for you. Yeah, right. Just get a little five o'clock shadow put on there.

We didn't even talk about your weird ankle tattoo in that break. It's an ankle tattoo. I know. It's weird. I mean, why'd you choose your ankle? No. Before then, though, please, everybody, be upstanding for International Lamington Day.

Which, unfortunately, the New Zealand national anthem is not appropriate for because found out last year via Bree, the Lamington's Australian. Yeah, that one actually is ours. Yeah. Apparently. That's the one that we were claiming that's actually yours. But we probably stole it from someone else. Yeah, right, right, right, right, right. Yeah. Happy. That's the one that we were claiming that's actually yours. But we probably stole it from someone else. Yeah, right, right, right, right, right.

Yeah. Happy Lamington Day, by the way. Thank you. Happy Lamington Day to everyone. What a great day. What a great day. What a great day. And now, producers, have you organised some Lamingtons?

We're having Lamingtons arrive for this break. We're getting that plate of Lamingtons come in. Now, I remember you were like, definitely don't want Lamingtons today at all. I was like, oh, that's fair enough. Who said that? I was going to say, you guys didn't even like Lamingtons. No, sometimes I think you guys hear what you want. Turn their microphones off. Okay, I remember you were like, definitely don't want Lamington's today at all. I was like, oh, that's fair enough. Who said that? I was going to say, you guys didn't even like Lamington. No, sometimes I think you guys hear what you want. Turn their microphones off.

Okay, I'll cut them off. Interestingly, we're going for a world record today in New Zealand at Sylvia Park Mall in Auckland. They are currently trying to create the world's biggest Lamington. See, this gets me going. I love stuff like this. This is the competitive stuff. Oh, no, give this to me going i love stuff like this this is the competitive stuff oh no give this to me where is it tell me uh so sylvia park uh in in auckland are doing it at the

moment the current world record yes for the world's biggest lamington is held by an australian bakery in toowoomba no way that's right near where i'm from okay all right well my brother lives there all right all right all right well they're the current world record holders for the biggest lamington at 2. Oh, wait, hang on. Let me get this right. 2,361 kilos of lamington. It's two and a half tons. No, it's not two and a half tons.

It's 2.361 tons. So over two tons. So over two tonnes. So over two tonnes. Nearly two and a half tonnes. The Sylvia Park Lamington they're trying to make today. Yeah, how big? Two and a half tonnes. They're going for it.

So this is what they're trying to do. They are using... How the hell do you roll a piece of cake that big? Yeah, I think they're going to have to do smearing and dusting rather than rolling. They bake all the sponge off site and then they move that in and they place it in chunks and then they are coating it.

Drizzle the chocolate on top. They're using 500 kilos of flour to bake it, 650 kilos of sugar and 13,000 eggs. 13,000 eggs? Yeah. And if they get it done Yeah it'll be the The world's largest Who's eating that?

So that's a good question People who are there We don't want it to go to waste People who are there Look at it People who are there Can have as much Lamington As they like

And then the leftover Lamington Is going to get packaged up And given to the city mission And handed out to people Who need Lamington On World Lamington Day Why did I take yesterday off? I should have taken today off And went to the city mission and handed out to people who need Lamington on World Lamington Day. Why did I take yesterday off? I should have taken today off and went to the Lamington.

We've been running a poll on our Instagram today to celebrate World Lamington Day. What's the best Lamington? Is it chocolate or raspberry? It's definitely, well, I like both. But you've got to go original chocolate. What are you voting for? Raspberry.

You're voting raspberry. Producer Anastasia, can we get an update on poll results? Yep, so it's a quite even split. So in terms of who prefers chocolate

or raspberry, chocolate's sitting at 55% whereas 45% are raspberry fans. Yeah, right, okay. We did ask one more question because I found out

that Bree doesn't do cream in her lamingtons. No, I take my lamington straight. Yeah. Is that an Australian thing or just... Straight lamington. Yeah. Because most lamingtons. No, I take my lamington straight. Yeah. Is that an Australian thing or just? Straight lamington. Yeah.

Because most lamingtons I see here have got cream in them, fresh cream and then a little spurt of jam. I think that's maybe a Kiwi thing. Yeah, right. You guys jazzed it up a bit. We've asked that on the poll too. Cream or no cream on your lamington? Yeah, yeah.

I definitely think it's more of a Kiwi thing because 64% of people prefer cream in and 36% obviously no cream. No cream. Right, there you go. I like to go plain. Oh, dry. Good luck with the world record attempt, New Zealand. We're all backing you.

Bree and Clint. If you're a Netflix user and let me – I want you to ask yourself this question, Clint, and everyone can do this right now. Do you spend hours and hours just picking something to watch on Netflix?

Yeah, it's the worst part. It is the worst part of Netflix. And it happens once you've seen everything that you want to see. And there's nothing new coming up so you're like, oh, I'm just going to troll through as many of these things and potentially find a new show that I can watch. It's the problem with any streaming service or even restaurant menus. Anytime there's too much option. Too much choice. Yeah, you're crippled by

too much to choose from. Exactly. But this is exciting because I read online Netflix is actually trialling something at the moment that might help with that. Okay. So apparently Netflix is in the second round of testing of the shuffle button. What do you mean?

Oh, like you used to do with your iPod. Yeah. So apparently they have been testing this feature and some people might have seen it on their Netflix. It might be in America, but they've been testing it. They're in their second round. And it's essentially where it calculates, you know, what you've watched in certain things.

Yeah. And then you can hit shuffle and it'll pick something for you. So will it just put it on rather than throw it up as a suggestion? I think so. So you're going to hand your evening over to the algorithm and you're going to go, okay, all right, something for you. So will it just put it on rather than throw it up as a suggestion? I think so. So you're going to hand your evening over to the algorithm and you're going to go, okay, all right, I trust you. What are you suggesting for me to watch? And apparently, yeah, it's trying to get those shows that is tailored for you.

Yeah, right. Because they already do that. They've got sections where they go things that you would like. But there's always that mental hurdle of committing to actually going play on something because you don't want to waste your time. But then you waste more time looking for something decent to watch. I think it's a good idea.

I like the idea. I reckon all the streaming services, Neon, everybody should get that version. Yeah, why not? Because those times where you're like, I can't be bothered. And you end up watching Friends for the thousandth time. It'll also settle a lot of relationship fights.

Because you go, well, what do you want to watch? I'll just watch what you want to watch. And you go, no, I want to watch what you want to watch. And when you accidentally watch that show and you skip ahead and your partner's not there, you can be like, oh, the shuffle button did it. Yeah, and then Netflix comes on and goes, shut up, I'll choose what we're watching.

I like it, Netflix shuffle. Kia ora, I'm Jane Yee. I'm Alex Casey. And I'm Duncan Grave. We are the hosts of The Real Pod and Confession Cam Time. We bloody love reality telly. If we sound like your type on paper, join us each week for your fix of reality TV news, recaps and gossip.

Maya, you've won the Instafame game. We've got free mobile fuel for you. Well done, mate. Yay, thank you. Nice work, Maya. Jennifer Anderson, Bree and Clint. Bree and Clint. There's been a debate going down in our team. Well, not really

a debate. It's not a debate. It's a straight up agreeance. It's an agreeance about we were talking about we believe you and I, Clint, and the whole team actually, that there's one particular cuisine that is unhateable. Like, we don't think anyone could dislike this

particular type of food. No. It's so good and it has something for everyone. It really does. And it's so delicious and comforting. Even just thinking about it now, I'm getting worked up. It is literally warm and cosy and it's comfort food and it's the best.

So do you want to just come out and just this is the food that we think and we're keen to know if to just come out and just... This is the food that we think, and we're keen to know if you guys agree in a special way, but the food that we think is literally unhatable is... Italian food. And we wanted to get

my dad on, who is 100% Italiano. Because we think you need to be in this conversation, Dad. Big Steve, hello. G'day, guys. How are you? Good. Good to talk to you. I love how I'm like, he's 100% Italian.

Hello, Dad. G'day, guys. Can we get a buongiorno or something? Oh, hang on. Should I say buongiorno, ragazzi? Come by oggi. There he is. Big Steve, what do you think about our assertions that Italian is the one

cuisine that is unhateable? It is the world's only... It's universal. There's nobody in the world that could dislike Italian food. Is that a fair statement? If they dislike Italian food, they're not human. That's all I can say. Now, your mother

is from the home country as well, so you have been eating authentic Italian your whole life. Is that right, Big Steve? I started eating spaghetti when I was about three months old, I think. My nonna, she was making the spaghetti at home. She was making the profiterole, everything, the minestrone, the risotto. There's so much. There is so much, the risotto. There's so much. There is so much.

There's pizza, there's macaroni, there's cabanara, there's… Oh, cannellonis. Do we count garlic bread? I'm counting garlic breads. Yeah, you do. It just to us seems like the perfect food. You know how people always give you their old tomato and they go, you can only eat one type of food for the rest of your life.

Italian. Some people go, I think I'd like to eat Japanese because it's light and I wouldn't get sick of it. Don't kid yourself. It's Italian. It's Italian. It's always Italian. It makes you happy when you're sad and it makes it happier when you're happy.

Exactly right. This is the challenge we want to put out on our show today. We want to find people, we don't think they exist, but do you dislike Italian food? Honestly, can you speak honestly? Yeah. That you are not a fan of Italian food. You think it's yuck. Yeah, and you have to be honest about this.

And you really feel strongly you're someone who can honestly say, I don't like Italian food. Think of it as a food-based experiment on ZM listeners. If you fit the brief and you hate Italian food, we would like you to call right now on 0800-DIAL-ZM. We just want to know. We're not going to get angry with you. Oh no, I might.

No, we don't. My dad might. There's no fingers being pointed. We just want to understand you. Look, we're on the hunt this afternoon because Clint and I believe that there is one cuisine that no one actually hates. It's unhateable. And that, of course, is Italian food. We've got your dad, Big Steve, who we're going to affectionately call Papa Steve for this segment.

Hey, Papa Steve. Full-blown Italian. You're hedging your bets on there not being anybody anywhere in New Zealand that hates Italian food, right, Big Steve? It couldn't be possible. Couldn't be possible. It could not be possible. I mean, there's so much good stuff that goes along with Italian cuisine, and we've put out the call. Are you a person that can honestly say you dislike Italian food, and you're not going to believe this, Clint,

but we have found the only person in New Zealand that doesn't like Italian food. Ben, good afternoon. Hello. You're willing to come on here and admit to the fact that you don't like pizza, pasta. You don't like Italian food. I do not like Italian food at all. Ben! No, no, no.

Don't you get angry at him yet, Ben. Tell us, what about Italian food is it that you don't like? Why don't you like it? I cannot stand the texture of pasta. It just feels gross. I hate the stuff that they, the combinations that they make with it. No! Meatballs and stuff, just disgusting.

Wow, he's not holding back. I can't listen to that anymore. Okay, Ben, we just need to introduce you to Big Steve. Big Steve, do you have anything you'd like to say to Ben? Ben, I am so upset that I can't even talk to you in English. I'm going to talk to you in Italian. Ben, sito matto, sito il pipato del mondo che ne piatti mangiare italiano.

Mannaggio la miseria. No è possibile, Ben. No è possibile. C'è tutto capito. No è possibile. He said, I'm not happy with you. Yeah, I don't even know if that, if we were in Italy, if that was legally broadcastable. I don't know. I'm not sure. It's not legally broadcastable. Yeah, right. Yeah, okay, all right. Will you take a breath, Big Steve? Ben, does that change your opinion at all?

Are you willing to try a delicious chicken cabanara on the way home tonight? I think the Italian accent is a lot nicer than the Italian food. That doesn't really affect me that much at all. There you go. That's a compliment for you, Big Steve. We've had a couple of texts. Someone said, I hate overpriced Italian. That doesn't count.

You like Italian. It doesn't worry aboutriced Italian. That doesn't count. You like Italian. It doesn't worry about the price tag. That does not count. Good, though. Good, Steve, for the culture that we were only able to find one person who hates Italian, right? That's it, Dad. Yeah.

Well, listen, I'll have to agree with Ben on one thing. The Italian accent is the accent of love. There's no doubt about that. Oh, yeah. That's what Mama Di tells us all the time. I don't want to talk about that. Yeah. All right, bye, Dad. That's enough from you. You all the time. I don't want to talk about that. Yeah. All right, bye, Dad.

That's enough from you. You know that Jason Derulo song, Talk Dirty to Me? No! She says, talk Italian to me. It's the most romantic language of the world.

It's creamy. It's decadent. I'm about to swear in Italian in a second. Thanks, Big Steve. Good to talk to you. Bye, Dad. See you, guys.

And I learned how to get along And so you're back From outer space I just walked in to find you here With that sad look upon your face I should have changed that stupid lock I should have made you leave your key If I'd have known for just one second

You'd be back to bother me Oh, now go Walk out the door Just turn around now Cause you're not welcome anymore Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye You think I'd crumble You think I'd lay down and die

One of the great left field birthday bangers for Delwyn this afternoon. Delwyn, thank you for that one. Gloria Gaynor's I Will Survive. If you want to see the face of a man who looks like he's just sucked a lemon, go to our Instagram story. Ross Boss is here. He's not usually here in the studio for birthday bangers. No, he's not.

And that was very, very risky of us. He chose today to sit in. What would you have rathered, Ross? That one or the Queen song? I thought it was the third one. The third one was... Glamorous Fergie right on target. He'd be probably glamorous.

Yeah, but boring. Yeah. You know? Should we play back-to-back Gloria Gaynor? Back-to-back Gaynor. We might not survive if we do that. Have you ever heard of something called synesthesia? Yes, my wife has synesthesia.

Does she? Yeah. And what type? Because there's literally a million different types. She sees words as colours. Yes, right. So that's one of them. Yes.

Very common in musicians, actually. So that's one of them. Yes. Very common in musicians actually. Lorde has synesthesia. She hears music and colours. Yeah, which is so interesting to me. And essentially what it states is that it's a rare blending of the senses. So sight, hearing, taste. I came across a particular type of synesthesia and it was where people can taste colour.

Right. And when I saw this, I was like, that makes a lot of sense to me and I feel like I can do it. Do you just? Yes. Right. Because I always have grown up being like, oh, yeah, you know, smell, taste, and people are like, what are you talking about?

Smell, taste? No. Smell, taste is a thing. Like when you smell pizza, you can taste the pizza. Yeah, but does everyone have that? Yeah. Okay. That's not synesthesia.

Just because when you smell garlic bread, you go, oh, I can already taste that garlic bread. You think I'm full of crap. I do, yeah. But I actually believe that I might have this skill. Okay. Prove it to me. I think I'm full of crap. I do, yeah. But you, I actually believe that I might have this skill. Okay, prove it to me. I think I do. So, I've got a bowl of M&M's here.

Which are obviously all different colours. So, I'm going to put a blindfold on now, so I won't be able to see. And then I'm going to see if I can actually do this. Why do you always doubt me? Because, because no, I believe in you. I back you. You know what? You need support in this situation and I want you to have synesthesia. Okay. Are you ready? Yeah. Right. So, so what I will get you to do, cause I'll help you with this. Yeah. Hold an M&M up so I can see the colour of it.

And then place that M&M peanut, by the way, peanut M&M. Because Bree said peanut M&Ms have more surface area for more colour. Okay, it's in your mouth. Okay. Okay. I'm going to say... Is it orange? Close, though.

That was a red M&M. Right. Maybe I just haven't tasted them recently. You need to have one of each first. Reach for another one. Okay. Okay, hold it up. Yeah, I can see what that is.

Okay, pop it in the mouth. I'm going to suck hold it up. Yeah, I can see what that is. Okay, pop it in the mouth. I'm going to suck around it more. Yeah, right. Suck the colour off. Try and suck it up to your eyes. It definitely tastes different to me. I don't believe they're flavoured. I think it's just like a...

But no, sorry, you're the one who's tasting the colour. I'm going to say that one was green. Was I right? Lucky guess. Lucky guess. So how many do I need to get? You need to get three out of five. Three out of five.

Okay. All right, here goes. Have I got one? You got one. Can you see it? I've got the colour. Pop it in your mouth. Okay.

It's really hard to tell the difference between them now. Seems it. I'm going to say yellow. Okay. Is that right? Yeah, that was somehow, that was right, yeah. This is going too well. That mask's definitely on, right?

That blindfold mask's definitely on. It's on all the way down. Yeah, right. Well, you put in the next one, and I'm going to get the producers to come in and put an extra mask on you. Okay. Okay. Next one in the mouth one and I'm going to get the producer to come in and put an extra mask on you. Okay. Okay. Next one in the mouth.

This is for three. Okay, are you ready? Yeah, I've got that colour. I need to get this right, hey, to actually... I can see the colour of this one on your teeth. Oh, can you? Oh, this one's got a strong taste. How could it have a strong taste?

They taste the same. Oh, this is such a big deal for me. I'm going to say, wait, what colours of M&M's are there? It shouldn't matter. It shouldn't matter. If you can taste colours, it shouldn't matter. I'm going to say... Blue.

No! Are you messing with me? No, spit it out into your hand. It's a blue M&M. It's just brown now. Oh, yeah, that's the chocolate bar. Well, well done. Are you messing with me? No you got it right

You'll see it on the camera afterwards Nah you guys are messing with me I don't believe you There's no winning with you Honestly you just got it I didn't want you to get it And you got it I need to see proof

Elon Musk Or as he's more fondly known in our team, Elon Muck. You were calling him E-long earlier today. E-long. It's my Aussie accent. And then Dean, our Hollywood reporter, calls him Ellen. I can't help but say Pearl, Elon. You know who I'm talking about, Musk.

Yeah. The guy who owns Tesla. Anyway, he's in the news at the moment because he's doing all kinds of cool stuff, this guy. Have you actually read into some of the companies that he's started? No, I saw he was supporting Kanye for president. Oh, was he? And then he saw some of Kanye's policies and he goes, I haven't thought this through properly. I might have to step away. Well, this one I think is going to be amazing and it sounds really, really cool.

He started a new business, a new startup called Neuralink. Have you heard of it? No. It's received about $158 million from sponsors and stuff. Investors. Yeah, investors. And it's all about developing, now stay with me, a brain-computer interface that will essentially include things

like being able to stream music straight into your brain. Oh, wow. That is some futuristic stuff. Isn't it? You know I saw a guy in town the other day wearing Google glasses. Oh, yeah. Remember how Google glasses were meant to come on? Yeah, they were.

And then they cancelled them. He had some. So this is the next level of that. Does that mean that I can think about a song and it will start playing? Or do I have to start the song on my phone and it will start playing in my head? Well, that's the thing. It says, because I was like, what does it mean? Does that mean you get something inserted into your brain?

Like what is it? So to get it fitted, you would go through a similar process that you do to get laser eye surgery. Yeah. And it would involve a neurosurgical robot that would fit a flexible, like flexible threads inside your brain that apparently would connect to certain parts where, yeah, I don't know if you can think about a song and it starts playing.

Well, then what's the point? Yeah, but I don't know. It hasn't come out yet exactly all those details. I'm not super keen to have the guy who designed the Cybertruck put stuff inside my brain. No, but that means you would never have to put headphones in. Yeah, but putting headphones in is a small price to pay to not have a robot change my brain.

Yeah, it also got me thinking about, you know, say you did go through with this. You've had it inserted. Yeah. And say you're in a situation, you know, where you're doing some indoor gardening. Oh, yeah. And say you accidentally lean on your phone and you're in the middle of it and this comes on. What? The other person can't hear it. The other person can't hear it. It's in your brain. And this comes on.

The other person can't hear it. The other person can't hear it. It's in your brain. You're like, ah! It's getting faster and faster. It's not me. What is going on? Turn it off. Turn it off.

And then you kind of hit your ear. And then it goes to the next song. And the next song's this. You go, oh, get it. Wake up! Grab a shepard and a little makeup. I just got the fade away makeup I just got the fade away I just got the fade away

You're like no No No You're like You wanted to Yeah or you You forget to Unprogram your alarm

And then this song Comes on inside your brain Wake up Wake up Yeah not the one And also like Think about Say you're running

And say you accidentally I don't know Sneeze or something And it like Blows out the chip In your brain And then you're running and say you accidentally, I don't know, sneeze or something and it like blows out the chip in your brain and then you're running and this song comes on. Actually, that would be quite inspiring. You would love that. Yeah.

I quite like that actually. But I think the worst of them all, if Elon Musk put a chip in your head where you could automatically play music, say you're relaxing at night, you find yourself dozing off and you accidentally tap your phone and this song comes on. I'll stick to my headphones, I think. Brings a whole new meaning to not being able to get a song out of your head. Oh, yeah, it does. Quite literally, baby shark is inside your head.

And imagine your kid, who becomes better at computers than you, hacking your brain and just playing this 24-7. No thanks. No thanks. No thanks. And sorry for the PTSD This song is causing Parents right now too Yeah we apologise

Okay diets I know it's a dirty word Nah But we're going to talk About it for a second I'm not here for a diet No I know I know

No I'm against them What about the all carb diet Aren't you into that one Yeah well that's technique That's not a diet That's just called life You're into

If it comes in a bag I'll eat it No No no I actually eat quite healthy one yeah well that's technique that's not a diet that's just called life you're into um uh if it comes in a bag i'll eat it no no no i actually eat quite healthy um i think everything in moderation you don't want to live your life by numbers no you don't no you don't but i've got some numbers for you okay so this is a study that's been done by the university of illinois to try and determine once and for all which of the current fad diets, and I say fad diet because- It is a fad. Well, they're all diets that have come about in the last,

I feel like they've come about in the last five years. And it seems that every couple of years there's one that starts trending and it's like the popular one at the time. Like last year was the year of keto, wasn't it? Yeah, it was the keto everything. So we're talking paleo, keto, Atkins, juice, 80-20, all of these diets. Fasting. Fasting. Which is the most

effective for weight loss according to this study? Well, it is fasting. You and I gave this a go last year. And I've got to be honest with you, it worked. Of course it does, because you're not eating anything for a long period of time. No, you're just skipping meals.

At the core of it, intermittent fasting is just a fancy name for not having breakfast. Not eating, yeah. But this is why people like it, because you limit your eating to a 5, 7, 8 hour window, whatever you choose. And in that window, you eat whatever you want. You don't restrict your calories in there.

I don't know if you eat whatever you want. No, you eat normally. So you can eat takeaways. You can eat any food, fish and chips. Yeah, good to go. But only in your window. And then you go back to fasting. I don't know the science behind it.

But they did this, and they found that people who did intermittent fasting diets ate on average 550 less calories a day. Because there's less time to eat it. Like you can't just graze all day. It's not rocket science to me. They all lost 3% of their body weight. Interestingly, I love how everyone's like,

whoa, amazing. I'm like, no, you're just eating less. I know. And it sounds like I'm trying to sell you the diet. I'm not. I just want to give you this one interesting fact. The people who did a five hour eating window, which means they fasted for 19 hours a day that's a long time no because sleeping's in there as well and the people who fast but i'm awake for longer than five hours

good point mate um and the people who fasted for seven who who fasted for uh 17 hours and they didn't eat whatever it is yeah no difference in weight loss really so you can just do the seven a five hour eating window and a seven hour eating window exactly the same weight loss right so i just need to figure out how i'm gonna sleep for 17 hours straight yeah well once you figure that out the rest is easy but easy then it's not fasting it's just eating while you're awake i'm home free it's okay though because while you're awake. I'm home free. It's okay, though, because while you're fasting, you can have water. Oh, joy.
