Producer Anastasia, welcome to the team. Thank you very much. These headphones don't actually work very well

so I can't really hear what you're saying. Ben's got this issue where he never sorts the other producer out with headphones. All I'm hearing is headphones. He likes to have one up on them. Have you not had headphones? We've just finished our whole show with you. Oh, here we go. Can you hear us now? We've just done a whole show with you. Are you here we go. Are you there? Can you hear us now? We've just done a whole show with you. Are you telling me you didn't have headphones for the whole show?

It's not on you. It's not on you. It's on Ben. I'm going to say no for that one. No, no, I haven't had any headphones. Ben! She had headphones. They weren't working.

Yeah. Your fault. I didn't want to complain about it. Your fault. No one likes to complain. No, you should need to complain about that thing. It could be the cord. The cord could be their shit.

This is how complaining works on this show. We complain to Ben, and then he sorts it out. So if your complaint is about Ben, obviously give it to Ben. No, give it to Ben. I thought I'd come to you guys. Anyway, this is your first time on the podcast. We're a tight-knit family, so we need to get to know Anastasia. Is it okay if I call you Anastasia?

Yeah, that's all good. Okay, sweet. Okay, first name, Anastasia. You don't it okay if I call you Anastasia? Yeah, that's all good. Okay, sweet. Okay, first name Anastasia. You don't have to give out your last name. We're not there yet. Where were you born? Christchurch. Yeah, Christchurch. How good's Christchurch? What year? 97. Jesus! It's a fetus!

Wow. That's close to my birthday. Does that make you feel old? It's close to my... It's only one number off my birthday. Yeah, 10 years. Yeah, one number. If you replace the nine with an eight... Is Anastasia 10 years younger than you? Yeah.

Jesus. She's seven years younger than you. Mate, we're dried up. Okay, all right. All right. All right. Seriously, there's nothing left for us. Our producing department is now 100% from Christchurch.

How good. How good's Christchurch. How good. How good's Christchurch? How good's Christchurch? South Island represent. Yeah, represent. What else? What other questions do we have? Do you have a nickname?

Because Anastasia is quite a long name. And producer Anastasia. Stage, isn't it? Yeah, yeah, yeah. People around here will probably call me Stage, yeah. But if anyone's got any new suggestions or more, is up for a new nickname. I was going to call her

Disney Producer Disney Ben's not going to like this Lucy My wife I was there Yeah you were there That's why I said

You're not going to like it mate Because you already know She's suggested It's not a good idea A nickname That we could roll with Okay Okay

I'm interested Because now we have Producer Anastasia Yeah And Producer Ben Yeah We could have Producer A and Producer B

Oh that's Pretty good Now the reason Ben doesn't like this is because Because A comes first So I'll just put that out there Hey I don't mind that I might roll with that we'll see See how it goes

What else do we need to know Do you like fart jokes That's a good question Will I lose the job if I say Yes you will So we need to know. Do you like fart jokes? That's a good question. Will I lose the job if I say... Yes, you will. I'm a massive fan. Guess the show up. Well, obviously you're not.

I hate them, by the way. Ben, it's just you and I left. That's fine. As long as you've got 50%, you'll be fine. This is the question I was going to ask the group. Last week I got dumplings from down the road and I realised Is this a question for Anastasia?

Yeah, this is a question for everyone. But everyone, not just her? Yes. Just think about this for a second. She doesn't know because Ben still hasn't got any headphones. Nothing. No, she does. I'm kidding. What is the food That repeats on you The worst

Okay this is the last Question of your Go Think about it Let Anastasia Think about it for a second I don't really I don't really

Know That you get a lot Because I don't monitor My gas as much as you do No but You would know this Because you would know To steer clear

Of certain foods Nah I don't think I have that much I don't think I've got that much digestive knowledge. So, sorry, I'm going to have to foul out. I think mine's probably eggs. Eggs? Yeah, like if I have a lot of eggs, like I would have like maybe four or five for breakfast. Who the fuck is having four or five eggs for breakfast?

I don't know if you've been... Four or five fucking eggs! Okay, you're cancelled. You're cancelled. I don't want to be really generic with this one, but honestly, after I've had some Mexican beans, it's just... Oh, yeah, that's bad.

What, four or five cans like Ben? Yeah. No, no. Beans, beans are good for your heart. Yeah. Yeah. Beans, beans... Make your your heart. Yeah. Beans, beans. Make you fart.

Make you fart. Nah. Mine would have to be dumplings. Oh, steer clear of dumplings. Stop listening. Is this a pork and cabbage? No, we're not talking farts. We're talking like repeat, like even worse. Yeah, pork and cabbage are bad.

I reckon it's the cabbage. Bad. For mints? And cooked capsicum. Cooked capsicum. Cooked capsicum. Always cooked capsicum. Steer clear of that. Well, this has been insightful.

We've learned a lot about producer Anastasia and everyone else, except me, because I didn't contribute. Yeah. Do you have something? Have you thought of something? I don't. I don't know. I don't know.

You know what gives Clint the hiccups? Oh, yeah. Apples. Really? He eats an apple. Can't eat an apple without, yeah. But I love an apple. I don't know You know what gives you the hiccups You know what gives Clint the hiccups Oh yeah apples Really When he eats an apple Can't eat an apple without Yeah But I love an apple

But that's It's because I eat them too fast Because I'm scared of the apple going brown So I need it inside me As quickly as possible Are you sure I bet there's a different reason Yeah

I find that really strange Anyway You're going to be hearing a lot more Oh I've got one more question For Anastasia Okay cool Because we I was watching Big Brother the other night

and they were all facing their fears. Oh, yeah. And anyway, they had some really freaking weird fears on there. Like you and I. You and I both have a weird one. I wanted to ask Anastasia, do you have any strange fears? Probably just like snakes and stuff. Just like animals that you can't control. No, that's a regular fear. No, that's a standard one. Just like animals that you can't control.

No, that's a regular fear. Just like animals that you can't control. I'm fine with like spiders. No, actually, I'm not fine with spiders. I'm scared of most scary stuff. Any other weird stuff? Oh, probably confined spaces. I definitely...

Actually, you know what? Don't ever play that like the, the lift is broken thing. Yeah. These are all... I don't want to be anything weird. No, no, there's nothing weird here. These are all normal fears. They're all super generic.

I'm really sorry. And then, wait, wait, let me guess. Heights. You're also... Nah, nah, honestly. Throw me off the sky tower. I'm with that. Well, that's cool.

In an unrelated topic, just a bit of show admin. Ben, can you please organise a locked box for the studio? Snakes. Some snakes and some spiders. And also, can you make it small, confined area? In an elevator? In an elevator. Anastasia, you should know the first rule about radio.

Don't tell your colleagues your fears. She's got a lot to learn, everybody. But she's still producer A. Here's today's podcast. Hey, Google, what's the time? It's 3 p.m. Here's today's podcast. Afternoon, everybody. Welcome to the show. Happy Monday.

Hi, Bree. Hello, mate. Oh, I see you've got a chapstick in front of you right now. I should be an ambassador because I have bought that many chapsticks. I never can get to the bottom. I was going to say, have you ever finished a chapstick? I've never. Oh, maybe once.

Yeah. And it was a big achievement for me. I've got about seven chapsticks on the go, just placed in different areas of my life. Where do you place them? I place some underneath the driver's seat of my car. I put some in the washing machine just in case. I keep some in coats that I'm not wearing at the moment. That's good. Yeah, yeah.

It's important to have them in all the places you'd never look. Here's my tip. Don't leave them in the car console because they melt. Yeah, right, right, right. Yeah, it's not good. Oh, you don't like a liquid lippy? Oh, look, if I had to use it, I will still use it, but... Hey, we've got a big announcement on the show today.

At 4 o'clock, we are making, oh, what do I want to say here? What do I want to say? We are making a Friday-okey-based announcement that involves you guys. Directly. Directly, and you don't just have to listen this time, okay? No. Which, I mean, what do you do other than listen? Yeah, you participate.

You get involved. Put it this way, I don't want to give away too much, but if you've ever wanted to get up and do Friday Okie live in your hometown with us there, then this could be the announcement that you've been waiting for. But I don't want to give away too much. I don't think we gave away too much. I think we gave them just a little bit. 4 o'clock, our

big Friday Okie announcement is coming up on the show. Up next, though, I want you to think back to your childhood and bad decisions and dumb things you did. Easy. That might have resulted in a scar. Oh, yeah, okay. Because I want to talk childhood scars next. Okay, we'll do that after Billie Eilish on ZM.

This is Everything I Wanted. Bree and Clint. Bree and Clint. Did I tell you, Clint, over the weekend I travelled back in time to 2006? What did you do? I tweeted. Hey, you lay off Twitter. A lot of good stuff.

No one's tweeting. Have you? I tweeted for the first time since 2006 on the weekend. If you live in America and you want to know what's happening in your country, Twitter is the only place you can find it out. Donald Trump doesn't even, like, this is what, oh, I'm not making any better, am I?

No, you're not. Right, okay, you went on Twitter. Anyway, I was on Twitter and I for some reason just felt compelled to write on Twitter and I said, I just want to thank my younger self for not getting more horrifically bad tattoos. Oh yeah, because you've got a few.

Because I've got a few. Excuse me! You agreed with me before you found it offensive. I'm allowed to say it, you're not allowed to say it about me, but yeah they're not the best. Didn't you get a Taylor Swift 13? It's not Taylor Swift, it's a lucky number in my family. Oh right, just happens to be Taylor Swift. You just happen lucky number in my family. Oh, right. Just happens

to be Taylor Swift. You just happen to get it at the same time as the Red album. It definitely was not. It's because my mum's born on the 13th. My brother's born on the 13th. And you got the New South Wales Waratah tattooed on you as well. Okay. Let's move past that because I'm going to get angry.

It's a lotus. It's not a Waratah. Anyway, get angry. It's a lotus. Oh, right, right. It's not a warrita. Yeah, right, right, right. Anyway, someone tweeted back to me and they were like, yeah, but that doesn't help all the dumb scars that I've got from my childhood though. Yeah, right.

No one, well, usually no one intentionally gets a scar, do they? No. No. But as children, we tend to make, you know, not very informed decisions No Which can lead to injury Yeah

And I don't know what the deal is Like are you less scarable as a child? Is that a good time to get one? Do you think you heal I think you might Your skin heals better Well everyone says kids bounce That's what they say to parents

To make them feel better After you accidentally like And they do To a certain extent To a certain extent But you know Sometimes they do scar Yeah right Have you got any from extent. But, you know, sometimes they do scar. Have you got any from your childhood?

I've got a scar on the inside of my lip from where I jumped off the roof onto a trampoline. But I didn't bend my knees and my chin went directly into it. Oh, damn. Yeah, yeah. Trampolines are a bad thing. That's an internal one, so that's fine. Have you got any childhood scars? I've got one on my knee.

Yeah. This is from, it's actually faded quite a lot, but I've got one on my knee. Yeah. This is from, there's like, it's actually faded quite a lot, but that's from sitting in a swing. Yeah. Not with my bum, but sitting on it front ways and trying to do a Superman. And I hit a big tree root that was coming out of the ground. You don't get spray tans in winter, do you? You're so harsh to me today. Just, just. Oh yeah. Cause you're the most tan person I've ever seen. No, I know I'm not. You tell me that.

No, I know that I'm not either. Anyway, I've got that scar. And then I remember giving one of my really good friends a scar from playing this game we played as kids called Pinecone Wars where we just hurled pinecones at each other. You don't even need to tell me how Pinecone Wars works. It's a great game. I understand from the name and I'm keen.

It's a great game. And this guy copped what we called a bommie knocker, which was like a stick with heaps of pinecones at the end. Oh, yeah, yeah. Yeah, hit him straight above the eye and he got 18 stitches above, like, his eyelid. Badge of honour. Yeah.

I mean, those are the scars we're talking about. He's down at the RSA where there's bommie knocker scars with all the other Returned veterans From the Pinecone Wars They're like Pinecone Wars Pinecone Wars 1996

I was there too Don't want to talk about it That was hectic wasn't it Bobby Knocker Don't worry mate I got the same The same injury On my upper butt cheek

We want to tell you guys This afternoon What is the scar That you got from your childhood? Yeah, from making a bad decision. A bad decision. You know, we're talking about riding bikes with no shoes on or playing a game like where you get a slingshot

and you do something dumb, you know, stuff like that. Or a whole lot worse. So long as you look back now and go, yeah, no, it wasn't my brightest moment and it resulted in a scar, we'd like to hear your battle stories this afternoon.

0800 dial ZM or you can text them to 9696. Let's line up Guy Sebastian battle scars. That'll fit well for this next break. Bree and Clint.

What is the scar you've got from a dumb childhood injury? We've all done dumb things as a kid, made bad decisions, thought we were, you know, invincible. We are getting flooded with amazing stories. And the texts that are coming through are amazing. Let's start with Bridget who texted in. Hey, Bridget.

Hi, Bridget. Hello. Childhood scar. How did you get it? Sitting at the dinner table with my brother, and I don't even remember what was on the plate, but I tried to steal some food off his dinner plate. And he flicked me with his knife and stabbed my wrist,

and I got a little scar from that. And then my dad tried to heal it up by putting superglue over it. Yeah, that's good too, yeah. Sounds like the superglue didn't prevent the scar, Bridget. No, absolutely not. Who would have thought superglue was not a medical-grade treatment? Hannah, hi. Hi, Hannah.

Hi. What happened to you as a kid that left you with a scar? When I was about three years old, I was playing slides in the bath and just above my eye on the tap. So now I have about a two centimetre sky. I mean, a two centimetre sky just above my eye, but it's just three. Horrific, Hannah.

But how good is it that no matter where you were raised, you know what slides in the bath is? What a great game. Such a good game. Such a great game. And in our house, I'm worried about this for my daughter, Tui,

the tap is installed halfway down the bath on the side. It's not at the far end. So she's going to have a real obstacle course when it comes to bath slides. Did you ever hit your bum

on the tap when you stood up? Yeah, yeah, yeah. That was terrible. That was right up there with touching the cold tap with your back. Yeah.

The two worst things that could happen at bath time. Horrible. Carl, hi. Hi, Carl. Hi. What happened to you as a kid that left you with a scar? So I was in the supermarket one day and my socks,

when I was actually quite, quite young, and I thought I'd try to do ice skating. Yeah, sick. Yeah. And one of my socks gripped and I went head first into a trolley. Okay. Wait, where's the scar? Right in the very middle top.

And is it on your head? Yeah, is it on your forehead? No, no, no, like the very, very top. Wait, do you look like a trolley version of Harry Potter? No, like on top. Oh, so on top. In your scalp. The button of your hair sits.

Yeah. Oh, right up there on the dome bit. So it's not too bad because the hair would cover it. Yeah. Hopefully. Hold on, I want to read out this text because it needs to be read out. Okay, cool. So good.

Someone texted through and they said, We had a BMX bike at the batch where the seat should have been. It was a very old, very sharp pole because the seat had rusted off. Needless to say, it was a stand-up bike only, but one day I was riding said bike, slipped off the pedal, and now my upper thigh has a horrifically fleshy scar. Ouch. The batch was too far from any healthcare facility,

so mum just whacked a sanitary pad on it and hoped for the best. Oh, good on you, mum. Yep, well done. Jesus. What's worse, that or the super glue? At least the glue would have held it together. It's something, right? Your mum's like, blood, blood, blood.

Grab a pad. Bree and Clint. Right now, let's go to LA and get the latest with Dee McCarthy. From iHeartRadio, this is The Latest, live from LA with Dean McCarthy. Dean, massive news in the presidential campaign. Who's

decided they're going to run? Oh my goodness, he's said it before and he's now said it again. Kanye West is running for president in 2020. He's done it on Twitter. That's his official press release. That's his new press secretary. His phone, iPhone, Twitter. That's his official press release. That's his new press secretary, his phone, iPhone, Twitter. Here's the deal, right? It's making huge news. It's all around the world that Kanye is going to run. A couple of things you need to know. First

of all, he could only run as an independent. He obviously can't run as a Republican and he is too late to be the Democrat nominee. That'll be Joe Biden. So he would run as an independent, but he's already missed the cutoff for six states, including Texas, like some of the biggest states, New Mexico. So he's really, really behind in the race already, but he could be on the ballot for all of these other different states. He has to do a lot of different things. He has to jump through a lot of hoops. And, you know, I think it was Hillary Clinton's campaign

was $600 million. So I don't know where he's going to get the money or the backers, but it's not going to happen. I know where he's going to get the money. He's going to get the money from his wife. Last week, she announced that she was a billionaire. This week, he announces he's running for president. Like, you can't tell me those two things aren't related.

You know? But then do you... Does she want to be first lady? Does Kim Kardashian want to be first lady? Probably, right? Yeah, maybe. But Clint said something really interesting to me off-air, Dean, and I wanted to ask you about it. Do you think this is just one big kind of advertising campaign

for his next album? 100%. He's got a new song that's just dropped. I think it's just a really great press. He knows. He's got a great team. He knows it's going to put him in the headlines. What I will say is it's going to make me sound like Mr. Debbie Downer, but I

just think that all these people have got to stop talking about running for president. It's such an important job and it's not a joke and these clowns have got to stop going on about being the president. It's a really important job. Including the president. He needs to stop going on about being the president. You know, because this is a serious job

and we need a serious person in there. Like, to get serious for one minute, if there's ever been a time to get more serious about the president of the United States, it's right now because shit is going down. I hear what you're saying. Kanye is not the man for the moment. We need to be looking to Jay-Z.

Yeah, Jay-Z. It's Jay-Z 2020. Beyonce. Let's go with the queen bee. I'm going Beyonce. Yeah. Jay-Z. It's Jay-Z 2020. Beyonce. Let's go the Queen B. I'm going Beyonce. Yeah. That is the latest live out of Los Angeles

with our correspondent Dean McCarthy. Brian Clint. Forget Kanye and Trump, New Zealand heads to the polling booths on September the 19th. And there are no

rappers running that I'm aware of. Are you sure? There's a DJ. I heard Scribe was thinking And there are no Rappers running That I'm aware of There's a DJ I heard Scribe was thinking about it Not yet, hasn't put his hand up But DJ Jacinda Ardern is looking to be re-elected And going up against MC Todd Muller And B-Boy Winston Peters

He's in there as well Interesting election this one Because for the first time ever, New Zealand voters will be rewarded with a gift if they cast their vote on election day. Is it a big joint? No. Because we're all voting on whether or not marijuana can

get legal. No, not a big joint. Is it a free drink at the pub? Oh, a free drink would be a good option. I would be at that. Champagne on entry? Yeah. No, no. I don't think you're allowed to vote under the influence. So they could give it to you as you leave. I mean, if you get breathalysed, if you're under the limit,

if you can, you know, if you blow under 0.04. That's a good question. How many drinks can you have before voting? Before you vote, yeah. Before you can't vote. Yeah, no, not a free drink. The free gift that they are giving New Zealanders at the polling booth this year, if you go't vote. Yeah, no, not a free drink. The free gift that they are giving New Zealanders at the polling booth this year,

if you go and vote on September 19, free pen. Oh. It's good. It's good. You'll have one more pen than you had before you voted. Oh, that doesn't entice me. I probably would have taken a pen anyway.

It's not meant to... Oh, really? Okay, you're going to steal from the Electoral Commission. Yeah, well, they've got plenty. It's not meant to, oh, really? Okay, you're going to steal from the Electoral Commission. Yeah, well, they've got plenty. It's not meant to entice you to vote. It's meant as a COVID precaution. So because we live in a post-pandemic world, they're saying it's not safe for us to all be using the same pen.

So when you go and vote, they'll give you a pen and then afterwards take that home with you. Free election pen, you know? I mean, I'll give you a pen and then afterwards take that home with you. Free election pen. You know? I mean, I'll take a free pen. It's weird coming from Australia to New Zealand because it's been drilled into me. We have to vote. It's illegal not to vote, right?

Yeah. You will get fined if they find out that you missed voting. Yeah. So how come you guys still don't have a good prime minister? Like if it's illegal not to vote. No, but I think that's the reason we don't have a good one. Oh, because what? Because people are forced to vote.

Right. So you just make it up on the day? No, I'm being serious. And then people who don't really care or they don't really know much, they just kind of go, oh, they've been on the TV or my friend told me to vote for this person. Oh, and it makes up the vote. Right.

Well, 87% of New Zealanders are enrolled to vote, of eligible voters are enrolled to vote. 87%. That's a lot. Pretty good. But of young people, only 61% of New Zealanders are enrolled to vote, which means 39% at the moment won't be having their say on election day, which

if you want to impact things like the weed referendum, not to pigeonhole you young people. But you should be signing up to vote if you want to have things like the weed referendum. Yeah. Not to pigeonhole you young people. But you should be signing up to vote if you want to have your say. Exactly right. And if you want that free pen. But I mean, 61% still gets over the line, doesn't it? It's something, yeah.

Yeah, it gets up there. Anyway, if you are sitting currently without a pen and you're going, oh, should I go on Office Max and buy a new pen? Don't, because come September 19, get a free one when you go in and vote. Would have been happier with a free beer at the pub, I think. Same. Next year, next time. Brie and Clint.

The best meetings, Brie and Clint. Kia ora, everybody. Brie and Clint. We've got a big announcement. We promised you a big announcement. Probably one of the biggest announcements of the year. Don't overhype it. No, it's humongous.

No, don't overhype it. You think about, you know, anyone when they announce a huge thing, this is bigger than that. Check, check, check, check. One, one, one. Two, one, two. Can I have a bit more of both? One, two, one, one, one.

Can you turn my headphones up a little bit more? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Perfect. Yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Perfect. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, here we go. This is for Joe. I love you, man.

Oh, baby. I kissed a girl and I liked it. That's how I roll. Yeah, yeah. Perfect. Pretty good. Brie and Cliff, Friday Okie Live. That's right.

We've passed our COVID test and we're going on tour with Friday Oki Live. Oh, yeah. Our most popular and most hated segment is going on the road. You've never heard Friday Oki before. Every Friday, Bree and I sing a different song and you guys pick the winner. For a change, you guys are going to get the chance to sing this time and potentially be the winner. We want to see what you guys have got because it's your turn to get on the mics and show us.

Starting next Friday, we'll begin Friday Okie Live in Auckland. That's Friday the 17th of July. That's right. And then from there, we're going to Hamilton on the 24th of July, Wellington on the 7th of August, Christchurch on the 14th of August, and then finishing up the Friday Okie Live tour in Dunedin on the 21st of August. Funnily enough, the Friday Okie Live, all on Fridays.

All on Fridays. Which is good. And all live as well. And all live, yeah. So it's going to be a free party. You guys come along. If you want to sing, you can. We'd love you to.

And there's going to be a winner on the night as well. Each Friday Okie Live, there's $500 cash up for grabs. That's right. The winner will take home $500 cash. Not only that, but their winning song performance on the night. We have been talking. Potentially, we're going to play it on the show as well.

It's a combination of confidence and talent, this competition. Because if you are talentless, good confidence can get you across the line in a karaoke singing competition. For me, Clint, it's about the performance. Yeah, right. And what they bring to the stage. The commitment. You know, the commitment. And if they've got that, it's about the performance. Yeah, right. And what they bring to the stage. The commitment. You know?

The commitment. And if they've got that, I'm marking you high. All the details have just gone live on all of our socials. Brie and Clint also up at ZM Online. You can even, if you're ready and you know what you want to sing, go and register to sing on our website now, ZMOnline.com. Do it. Gather a group of mates. They don't all

have to sing. But like, you know, support crowd. Go register now. Head to our Instagram, Facebook, ZM Online. All the details are up there. If we're going on tour, we need to be match fit. So next, we're going to enter some Friday Oki live training. Live training. All right.

We want to see what you guys have right now. Live on the air. Bree and Clint. Friday Oki live. We're taking Friday Oki on tour around the country, starting next Friday in Auckland. Which I'm so excited to see other people give it a go. Yeah, that's the idea.

You've judged us for our singing for too long. For a long time. So we've decided, hey, you take the microphone. We're going to set up karaoke in a bunch of bars around the country. And then you give it a go. And if you're any good, you could win $500 cash. Yeah, and your chance to be heard live on our show around the country. No one's good without any practice though, right?

No, we need to practice. You and I have learnt that. Well, we've been practicing for ages. We're match fit. So what we've done is we've set up a Friday Oki live fitness test, I guess. Pretty much. Essentially, we've picked out one of the hardest notes ever to hit in a song. And we're going to test you guys on it this afternoon.

I really want one of those people that blows it out of the water. You know, they're just so good. We'll give the people who get through a go on 0800 Dial ZM a go now.

Friday Okie Live is hitting the road starting in Auckland, a live event at a venue which we will announce very shortly as well, by the way. Friday Okie Live next Friday. Important note, a bit to note, it's not us. You're not coming to see us live. Oh God. It's not a live tour

of our worst singing. How horrible would that be? No, yes, Can we reiterate? It's you guys. You guys sing. Essentially, it's a karaoke competition and we're travelling around the country with you guys.

With a $500 prize every night. Yes. Auckland, Hamilton, Wellington, Dunedin and Christchurch. But before we go, we need to get match fit. Imagine if it was us. Yeah, right?

Just going around. We've set you the challenge of singing this Christina Aguilera song. But not just any bit of the song. One particular note. The note. The bit that goes straight out the gate.

And she opens big with this. So have you got it in you? Is that in G sharp, do you reckon? I think it was, yeah. She definitely plucked on the G string for sure. Yeah, I think so, yeah. Chloe, welcome to the show. You're very brave coming on to attempt this.

Good afternoon. Oh, I'm not a singer, that's for sure, but I love a good Christina bout, you know? Yeah, okay, good. Yes, Chloe, I love that. Okay, the music is going to start. You know when to come in. Good luck, okay? Yes, yes. Bring it home, Chloe. Chloe's good. I love that. Okay, the music is going to start. You know when to come in. Good luck, okay?

Yes. Bring it home, Chloe. Chloe's Friday Okie warm-up. Pretty good, Chloe. Pretty good. You did better than me, that's for sure. That was great. That was wonderful.

She got that raspy grunt at the start. Right. Let's get a man on to give it a go. Hi, David. G'day, David. Hi, how's it going? Good, thanks. If I've never seen a bit of blind male confidence, it's this.

A guy ringing up to smash a Christina Aguilera high note. But you're the man for the job, aren't you, David? Yeah, tell me about it. Yeah, right. Come on, David. Talk to the lads. Here we go. When you're the man for the job, aren't you, David? Yeah, tell me about it. Yeah, right. Come on, David. Do it for the lads. Here we go. When you're ready, all right? Oh!

Pretty good, Dave. I mean, a bit of a premature finish from David, but that's okay. Solid effort, though, David. I like it, David. Well done, mate. Who should we get to do it next? Let's get an 11-year- finish from David, but that's okay. Solid effort though, David. I like it, David. Well done, mate. Who should we get to do it next? Let's get an 11-year-old. Okay, Mika's here.

Hey, Mika. Hi, Mika. Hi. Hi. Are you a singer? Yes. Oh, great. And you're definitely as good as Christina Aguilera?

No, not really. I think you are. Here you go. Come on, Mika. Here you go. Come on, Mika. Mika. Mika. You killed it. It's a shame these Friday Oki events are in bars because you could come in and win yourself $500

if you were over the age of 18. Oh, mic drop. Mick is gone. No, she's like, I'm out. Let's finish with Holly. Hi, Holly. Hi, Holly. Hey, guys.

Hey, Colin. No pressure, but the 11-year-old just smashed it out of the park. No pressure. I think you're hiding some talent, though, Holly. Am I right? I don't know. My palms are sweaty. Are you spaghetti on your shirt already.

Are you interested in coming to one of these live events? Are you in Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, Dunedin, Hamilton? I'm not, but I would be interested. Okay.

You should come, Holly. It's going to be an absolute hoot and you could win some money. You're our last warm-up, so clear your throat and show us what you can do. I believe in you. clear your throat and show us what you can do. She's got it!

She's got it! That's pretty good. That was, I think, hands down pretty damn good. As far as the attempts go, I think it went mine and then Holly's and then Mika's. I think that's how we rank them. In terms of modesty, you were right. As far as the attempts go, I think it went mine, and then Holly's, and then Mika's. I think that's how we rank them. In terms of modesty, you were right up the top as well. Thanks, Holly.

Hopefully we can see you there. She was great. If you want to come and do Friday Okie Live with us, starting next Friday in Auckland and then travelling down the country, the details are on our Instagram and Facebook pages right now. Go sign up. Have some courage to sing. Brie and Clint.

I made a major purchase over the weekend, Brie. And you know how they talk about buyer's remorse? Have you ever heard of buyer's remorse? Never heard of it. No, right?

It's where you buy something and then afterwards you go, ah, damn it, it's not what I actually wanted. Oh, what? And you regret your purchase. I thought you meant you feel guilty

because you've spent the money on something. That too? That's part of buyer's remorse? You go, oh, that's good, but I wish I still had the money instead. I've got the opposite of that. I've got buyers, buyers, buyers. He's leaving you here.

I've got buyers. I'm attracted. I'm physically and mentally attracted to my purchase, and I'm proud of myself. I think I made the right decision. Not attracted like that. You said it like you were. Well, let me tell you what the item is.

Over the weekend. Well, this is going to make it or break it for you then when you tell us what the item is. Again, I shouldn't have said physically attracted. Over the weekend, I purchased a dehumidifier. Went to Mitre 10, Mega, made the call, invested in my well-being

and went, no, you know what, Clint? No longer will you live in damp Auckland conditions. Get yourself a dehumidifier, girl. Treat yourself. And I did. Bought a dehumidifier.

Very proud of myself. Holy hell. You were older than I thought. No. No, I'm not. No. Listen to yourself. No.

Listen to yourself. I'm not. You're on the radio. We play top 40 music for young kids, cool and hip, and you go, gone. I bought a dehumidifier. I bought a dehumidifier. Okay, we'll snap on the text machine. Text me, 9696.

Do you love your dehumidifier? Okay. I'll tell you why I love this dehumidifier, Bree. I've done some research, because I don't make these purchases lightly. Oh my God, I'm so bored. Do you know what the safe indoor level of humidity is? I don't care.

Do you know? No. Have a guess as a percentage. I don't care. 30 to 50. I'm living my life. 30 to 50%. That's a safe humidity rating indoors.

If I get a bit of condensation on the window, so be it. No, not so be it. That's how mould spores start. You should be concerned. As an asthmatic, you should be concerned, okay? Hey, I'm 30. Haven't had any problems yet. Yeah, not yet.

You're going to die of the black lung. Anyway, 30 to 50. This dehumidifier that I purchased, it's got a humidity sensor and it can tell you, guess what the humidity level was in my room, in my bedroom. God, it's actually amazing. Can you see the listener count? 70%. 70%. Oh my God, we're dropping

by the thousands of people listening right now. People are just dropping off. I love this dehumidifier so much. Oh, we just went down 50,000 people listening. I love it so much, I want to sleep with it on but my wife won't let me. Listen to that soothing sound of dehumidifier.

This is the lowest amount of people we've ever had listening to the show. Alright, well, that's your opinion. Honestly, I changed the tank. Changed the tank twice a day.

Every time I tip out that water I'm like, good work dehumidifier. You can't be serious. Keeping up to date with the news just became a little easier.

Are you f***ing kidding me? You've heard it before. Your chance to get on Tell One, a ripping story, three quarters of it anyway, and you and I, Clint, will write an alternate ending. The real ending from you will be in the mix and then everyone else has to pick which is the real one. Stacey's here.

Hi, Stacey. Hi. Okay, you're going to give us three quarters of your story when you're ready go for it. So I was doing a water taxi in our fishing boat and we were driving some people to their cottage and we turned the corner and... Right, so she was in a water taxi. She was driving it. Turned. Something happened. Producer Ben has the three possible endings.

Ending number one. A passenger fell out of the boat. The other passengers freaked out and screamed. I got such a fright, I wet my pants. Good. Ending number two. It happens. When I turned the wheel, we ended up going under a bridge.

I misjudged the height and took the entire roof off the boat. $300,000 worth of damage. Good. Ending number three. The power steering snapped and we went flying over a bunch of rocks onto land with all the passengers on the boat. Okay. We're going off-road. All of them.

All of them. Bex has called through and wants to have a go at guessing the cliffhanger. Hi, Bex. Hi, Bex. Hi, how's it going? Good, thanks. When you're ready, tell us which ending do you think is the real one? Number one, two or three?

Oh, it was a toss-up between two and three. Two put me off because of the expense of of the damage but I think I'm going to Stick with two So two you went under a bridge Misjudged the height and took the entire Roof off the boat $300,000 worth of damage It does sound like a lofty

Amount of money for a water taxi But I don't know If you know how much boats cost though It is believable I reckon And I don't Stacey what don't know. If you know how much boats cost though it is believable I reckon. And I don't. Stacey what is the correct ending to your story?

We turned the corner and the power steering snapped. Boo! Boo! Boo! Sorry Bex. Sorry Bex. All good.

Stacey. Thanks guys. Thanks mate. How much damage was it? A few luggages fell out, and the whole bottom hull of the boat had to be redone. Where do you drive this water taxi, by the way? What area?

It was actually back in Canada. Oh, right. Because if you were going to say, like, Marlborough Sound, I was going to say, remind me to never catch your water taxi when I go to the Marlborough Sound. Just kidding. We've got $50 of free mobile fuel for you. Congratulations.

Thanks for playing cliffhanger. Thank you. Thanks, Daze. No worries. I came across this really sweet post on Facebook. And no, it wasn't on Batuta Advocate. It was on a page called the Waratah Lodge Residence, which is essentially a nursing home where older people, you know,

are all living there together. Yeah. And they did this thing where they went around to each person and they've asked them their name, their age and their advice for marriage. Oh. Which is, well, their wisdom, so to speak, because, I mean, you know, they've lived life. Yep. And they wanted to know what their wisdom was for marriage.

Okay, helpful. I mean, I hope they qualified the people first. They said, okay, how many times have you been married? Well, I don't think they really did. I just think whatever advice they wanted to give. Well, I guess people from a failed marriage have still got advice. Exactly right. They could say, don't do what I did.

So I'm going to give you a bit of advice from the elderly people from the Waratah Lodge residency. So the first one is Barb's. She's 90 and she says her advice for marriage is tell your husband every day how wonderful he is and how lucky he is to be married to you. Oh, right. So it's a double-edged sword from us. Okay, good, yep.

And one of my favourite ones was from Lorna who's 89 and she said, don't do it. She should meet Graham. Yeah, maybe. They could just be old age friends with benefits. Yeah, he'd be. Nothing too serious though. She'd be a cougar, a little bit, but, you know, whatever.

I thought, you know, the person in my life I kind of look up to for these things is my mum because she's been married to my dad, Big Steve, for 39 years. Yeah. So they've been going pretty strong. I reckon we should ask her the same question. What's her wisdom on marriage? Okay, cool.

Hello? Hi, Mum. It's Brian Clint. Hi, guys. How are you and Clint. Hi, guys. How are you going? We're going really well. Hey, quick one for you. We won't keep you for long.

We wanted to call you up and ask a really simple question. You've been married for how long? 39 years. So you've had, you know, decent innings. We just wanted to ask, what are the couple of pieces of advice for marriage? Oh, maybe a couple of things. So, look, off the top of a hat, I reckon one of the most important things is to really listen to your partner. Yeah.

To really listen what they're saying and take it on board. You might not agree, but to really listen. Yeah, and then you get information you can attack them with later. Like if you make notes, you can repeat themselves back to them. Yeah, good. I like that one. Yeah, what else? Just remember something, Clint.

When men and women have an argument and they fight over something, women remember every word you've said, even if it's said in anger. Yeah, all right. Women are like elephants. I've got that advice too. What else, Mum? Thank you. For marriage, wisdom for...

I reckon another one would be, I reckon, treat them mean and keep them clean. And clean. Clean and clean. That's a different one. Treat them mean, keep them clean. That's a different one. Treat them mean, keep them clean. That's good advice. Okay, what is

the main thing overarching the best advice you have towards marriage? Go. Okay, I reckon you have to go with try before you buy. And you know what? I think we all agree. I think that's good advice.

That's advice we can all get behind. Yep, absolutely. We'll gladly do that, Mum. Brie's still out there trying. Brie and Clint. I was quite shocked when I saw this doing the rounds on the internet in the past week. Yeah, right. And this is for anyone who's ever had a glass of Milo,

which I mean if you're Kiwi, then that should be you. Every kid who's ever played Saturday morning sports, everybody. Wait, you used to have it before sport? Oh, yeah. Oh, no, not for us. After sport too, to warm up, hot Milo. Really? Plus anyone who's ever been born on a budget and just lived off it

because it's a food drink. I love. Eat the stuff that's in the work kitchen and then you can skip a meal. God, yeah. I love Milo. Always been a massive fan. And I saw on the internet this week that there's actually a recommended serving amount on the back.

What do you mean? Like as in they've put on the back of every can or tin how much you should have per glass. Like how many spoonfuls? Yeah. What? Because for me, I never knew that this was on the back of the tin. No.

I just kind of guessed. And I guess it should be. They have to work out what an average serving is. But surely that's subjective. It's like how many sugars do you have in your tea? There's no recommended amount. I guess it's recommended, but you can take it with a grain of salt. Okay, well, what is it?

I'm fascinated to know. So it says on the back of the Milo tin, the recommended portion amount is three heaped teaspoons per 200 mils. Oh, that's generous. So three teaspoons. That's generous. No, that's generous because I would have thought that in this PC age, they would have said one teaspoon is a serving,

and then you do what you want, but they would say we recommend just having one. Because three heaped teaspoons. I did not think that's generous when I saw that. I thought, oh, no. Because I definitely. How many teaspoons are you putting in your Milo? You know what?

Don't tell me. Don't tell me. Don't tell me. Because we've got a tin of Milo here. We've got the stuff here. Let's role play it, okay? And New Zealand can judge you on your Milo making habits. Okay.

But you've got in front of you a glass and we're doing cold milk Milo here. We're doing cold milk. So hot milk's a different thing. Completely different drink. Completely different drink. It's a hot Milo. We're going to stick to cold milk. Yeah.

You said you like to pour the milk in first. Don't worry about me. Make your own Milo. I definitely don't pour it in first. And to be honest, I usually use a tablespoon. We've got the, well, you can use a tablespoon.

I want you to make a Milo the way you make a Milo. Okay. Alright. Go for the big spoon. Alright. So dry glass. Dry glass. One tablespoon. Two tablespoons. Three tablespoons of, no, you're playing

up. Four tablespoons of Milo. And then I'd probably do like one of those like, you know, ones where you're like, oh should I put a little bit more? That's too much. No, that's how much I would put. But surely it's vessel size dependent as well. Your glass is going to be 50% Milo.

And that's how it should be. Okay, fill it up with milk. I want you to mix this drink. This is how it always should. And to be honest. I want you to mix this drink and show me that it's not Milo cement in there. No, it'll be delicious because a lot of it dissolves and then you have like a quarter of Milo left.

Okay. All right, the milk's in. And you can't see this, but genuinely, the glass is 50% Milo, 50% milk. No, it won't be by the time I finish stirring. And to be honest, I've probably put less than I normally would. Yeah. Yeah.

Why? Because you're being modest for the radio. Yeah, exactly. See? Okay. Let being modest for the radio? Yeah. Yeah, exactly. See? Okay. Oh! Let me try that. Let me taste that.

You want to try that? That is perfect. That's four and a half tablespoons of Milo, which I'm pretty sure a tablespoon is two teaspoons, so that means you're running nine teaspoons of Milo. That's about right, I think. And I'll give it a- I would have went seven to eight, but nine, I'm happy with that. I'll run it through.

Oh, it's very thicc. It's very thicc. And if you know me, I like it thicc. The top layer, it's like you've got a, it's like a Milo cake sitting on top of it. Are you a crazy man? You don't drink it. You eat the Milo all off the top first.

Oh, I like a crusty layer. That's why I, and I'll do mine later, but I do milk and then I put the Milo on top of the milk and I fold it in so that I keep some Milo on top. But honestly. Because you have spillage when you put it in on top because I'm always trying to fit more eggs. Two tablespoons max.

Yeah, two. No way. Maybe I'm being judgmental. Try one more. Oh. Nah. It's I'm being judgmental. Try one more, Helen. Oh. Nah. It's yum, but it's thick. You haven't been living a full life.

That's how it's done. I'm telling you. Let's poll the people. Yes. Let's open it up. Nice easy one for Monday. Pretty easy. How many spoons of Milo?

Is the right amount. To put in your Milo. Actually, I'm interested in your whole preparation method actually. Me too. And you know what I'd love to hear? What?

I mean, I'd hate to hear this but is there anyone out there who has their Milo with water instead of milk? No one's doing that. They might be there but school us

on how you make your Milo. 0800 dial ZM. How are you making your Milo? How many spoons? What's the options? 0800 dial ZM. Call now.

Bree and Clint. Breaking news, everybody. Actually, this is breaking food news. At the food desk, Bree Thomas, I'll come in. Look, it's been outed on the internet that Milo has a recommended dosage pretty much on the back of the tin. Yeah, who knew? I've never seen it.

Have you? No. In a little white circle it says here on the back of the Milo tin, your portion size recommended is three heaped teaspoons per 200 mils of milk. Which I thought was quite generous until I watched Bree make a Milo. Now, I'm just going to recap. I stand by mine.

Do you? I'm going to say. And she has almost finished it, actually. She's drunk the whole thing. And look, this is what I say. I don't drink Milo often, but when I do, I go big or go home. Four and a half heaped tablespoons of Milo.

I stand by that. It's basically 50% Milo, 50% milk. I've just done the conversion. I incorrectly said on air before that a tablespoon was two teaspoons. It ain't. A tablespoon is three teaspoons. La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la. Your recipe.

Don't tell me. I don't care. The recommended recipe is three heaps teaspoons. Per glass, yeah. Your recipe is 13.5 teaspoons of Milo. Yeah, so give or take, there's a three in it. Far out. That's out of control.

I reckon a lot of people would make their Milo like that. Let's canvas the nation and find out. First of all, Michaela's here. Hi, Michaela. Hi, Michaela. Hi there. Make us a Milo. How does it go?

Yeah, I'm a two to three tablespoons. See, that's pretty decent. That's pretty decent. Yeah, that's... Yeah, yeah. I must say, when I was a kid, though, yeah, my mum never let us have more than one teaspoon, not even a heaped one.

Oh, one teaspoon. Just a little. Yuck. Kayla, that's just like weird coloured milk then. Jess is here. Hi, Jess. Hi, Jess. Hi.

Please tell me you're like me and you're just absolutely piling it in there. I'm with you, Bree. It's got to be half and half. Yes. Half milo, half milk. Yes, half and half. So it's not even like a spoonful amount. Depending on the vessel, you just go 50-50.

You just go half-half. So, Jess, if you've got one of those jumbo tins that they do, you could get a mug and just, like, scoop it in, like you were scooping out dog biscuits or something. That's me. I'm with you, Jess. I'm so with you. You're saving on milk, but you are using a shitload of Milo.

Mike's here. Hey, Mike. G'day, Mike. How's it going, guys? Good, thanks. How are you making your Milo? How many spoonfuls are we talking? First of all, I just want to say, Clint,

what you're doing is disgracing the Milo community by undersubscribing the recommended dosage. You're setting up a lot of people to have a disappointing breakfast experience. Mike, excuse me. I'm so glad you called up Mike, and I'm really glad you've called Clint out on that because I was feeling that too. I'm over the recommended.

I'm two tablespoons. It's double the recommended three teaspoons. You're a Milo sissy. That is a suggestion on the lower end. Okay? Okay. Okay, so what I want to talk you through, I'm a textures guy.

So what I'm going to do is I'm going three tablespoons in the glass. Yep. Banging that thing up with milk and with the fourth one. So first I'm stirring up. The fourth one is sprinkling on top. Oh, I do like that. And the last half of that tablespoon is going straight into the gob.

And then you're washing that down. God, that is some Milo finesse. You are an expert. I appreciate you calling us at this afternoon. Can I just get it clear? So there's three tablespoons at the bottom. One at the top. And one at the top.

And then another half a tablespoon straight into the mouth. Four and a half. So three in the bottom. Three in the bottom. Half on top, half in the mouth. Half on top, half in the top. And then another half a tablespoon straight into the mouth. Four and a half. No, three in the bottom, half on top, half in the mouth. Half on top, half in the mouth. Four, give or take. He's still half a tablespoon under you. Right, okay, well, thank you, Mike. I feel attacked and informed.

And we'll finish with Lara. Lara, what's your Milo making process? Well, I don't even drink Milo, but I consistently make Milo for my children, and it goes a quarter of a cup of milk into the microwave to be heated, two heaped teaspoons of Milo, one teaspoon of sugar, then topped up with water so it goes frothy on top. You're adding sugar.

I love it. You're adding sugar to Milo. Yeah, adding sugar. Lara, do you know what Milo is? Yeah, just sugar. I don't drink sugar. All, any sugar. Lara, do you know what Milo is? Yeah, just sugar. I don't drink sugar. All right, Lara, that's a Milo made with love. Thank you very much.

I'm so glad the two Milo drinkers came out of the woodwork there. Right? 90% 90-10 90-10 Right, this is where we take your birthdays Clint. Nah. Hey. It's my birthday. It's my birthday. Free and Clint's birthday banger. All right, this is where we take your birthdays and we figure out what was number one on each of these people's 16th.

the winner of Birthday Bangs today is Christina Aguilera, What a Girl Wants. Here's a trivia fact. What movie is that Aguilera, What A Girl Wants. Here's a trivia fact. What movie is that song from? What Women Want. Yes! Is it? It is.

Oh, I was trying to be a smartass. No, it is, yeah. Well, that's perfect then, isn't it? Interesting. With Mel Gibson, the original one. Maybe you want to sing that at Friday Oaky Live. Maybe you're brave enough to take on a Christina Aguilera song. If you are, we've announced our tour

starting in Auckland next Friday. The full details are up on our Facebook page. Brie and Clint. You can sign up now if you can. All the places we're going to are up there. I would be blown away

if someone came in and smashed a Christina Aguilera song out of the park. I'd have to vote. I'd have to vote for them. There's 500 bucks up for grabs. More details to come. We'll start with Auckland

then we'll go down the country from there. Over the weekend it was the 4th of July aka Independence Day. Some good memories from 4th of July. It's a good time in the States

normally, right? Yeah, when I lived there for a couple of years it reminded me a lot of like Australia Day. Oh yeah. Where people just got on it. I'm sure this was a weird 4th of July for America

this time around with their country literally tearing itself apart. But you know, there's still some traditions that went ahead on the 4th of July. One big tradition is Nathan's hot dog eating competition. I just had a giant Milo.

What are you talking about? You know exactly what I'm talking about. I know what's going on. Oh, there's hot dogs. It's a famous hot dog eating competition where it's a race to eat as many as you can. A new world record was set in the hot dog eating competition this 4th of July,

where Joey Chestnut consumed 75 hot dogs in 10 minutes. Why every time that we do No, actually, I'm the only one that does the eating in the challenges. Because you're our champion. You let me eat horrible stuff just beforehand. I just ate the most giant Milo.

That was on you. You could have, like, steered me away from it. Look, you've got it in you. I know you. That was on you. You could have, like, steered me away from it. Look, you've got it in you. I know you've got it in you. You're the person on this show who set the record... You're going to have hot dogs in me in a minute. ...for 40 Skittles in her mouth.

We're at 40. How are you going? Not good. It's very full. You're at the same amount of Skittles as you were grapes, almost. You're at 40 Skittles. Okay. 40 Skittles, 41 grapes.

They would deceivingly beg the Skittles. Ladies and gentlemen. You're going for 41 grapes. 41 grapes. Ladies and gentlemen, she's beaten her own record. 41 grapes and, of course, 1.2 kilos of steak. Brie Thomasel has completed 1.2 kilos of steak. So it has to be you.

You're our prize fighter. I was so sick. It has to be you. I already feel sick from the milk. So please bring it in. Bring in the... Don't worry. It's just one hot dog.

Okay? Okay. Your hot dog eating competition will just be one hot dog. This is why you had a hot dog for lunch. Yeah, I was testing it. Okay? Now, the world record is 75 hot dogs in 10 minutes. will just be one hot dog. This is why you had a hot dog for lunch. Yeah, I was testing it, okay? Now, the world record is 75 hot dogs in 10 minutes. What I've done is I've averaged out his time per hot dog,

Joey's time per hot dog. You're going to eat this one hot dog, and if you can beat his time, then I'll just accept it. I'll say that you could have beat him. You could have done 75 in 10 minutes, and we'll just call it that. I am excited that it's only one hot dog. I'm not going to lie. Would you like some messages of support

first? Would you like some encouragement? Yes, please. Okay, this is from the ZM Fano. Yeah, Brie, get it in ya. If anyone can down a sausage, it is you, girl. Well, I thought sausages were my thing, but fine, you go ahead and do you, honey. I've seen you smash a buffet, so good luck. Eat that sausage, girl. Eat that sausage, girl.

Trying to think of the best way to tackle this whilst looking good on camera. I'm not going to tell you the average time per hot dog until afterwards because I don't want you to get mentally, I don't want you to get that in your head, okay? Because the last time, remember when I tried to eat that giant donut? Yes. I got stuck because I tried to go too much too early. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

So I'm thinking the bread, mmm. You've been here before. You know what you're doing. It's a standard American hot dog. Producer Bin will be keeping time, and time starts. Oh, wait, wait, wait. What? Hold on.

I'm not ready. I'm not ready. Oh, sorry. You scared me. I was just trying to think, should I go water? Are you trying to decide which end to go with first? Yeah. They're the same.

This end looks better. Okay. It's got a bit of the sausage poking through. New Zealand, I want you to lift Bree's spirits with your thoughts right now. Your hot dog time begins in three, two, one. Eat that sausage, girl. All right, she's underway. Oh, she's gone in hard and fast.

She's got her mouth full. She's got the water bowl, which was for dunking the hot dog. She's now drinking from the water bowl. Okay. She's at 50% of the hot dog inside her mouth. There's no room for talking. Come on, she looks nice. The hot dog looks really nice.

Doesn't it? Brie, on the other hand. Come on, Brie. She looks like she looks nice. The hot dog looks really nice. Doesn't it? Brie, on the other hand. Come on, Brie. She looks like she's struggling. It looks like it was easy enough to get the hot dog into her mouth. Yeah. But getting it down might be a harder task. You think she's three quarters?

There's three quarters of the hot dog in her mouth, for sure. Come on, girl. Eat that sausage. All right, she's back. She's got a second wind. Oh, nice. I would say 85% of the hot dog is in her mouth. Yes.

And she's pushing it. Boom. She's pushing it. She's literally pushing it. It's all in the mouth now. It's all in the mouth. But can it... But can it fit?

But can it go down? Is there anywhere left for that hot dog to go? You can't throw it up because we don't have a bucket. We don't have a bucket. If you're defeated by the hot dog... I don't think you're defeated. No, you're not. I think you've got it.

It's taking a lot longer than I... I thought... Come on. You've come this far. You're so close. Kind of. All right. Okay.

We're going to have to gong her out. I'm sorry. But that's okay. That's okay. Producer Ben, at the gong, you're going to have to empty your mouth so you can talk to us, okay? Yeah. At the gong, please reveal...

Please reveal Bree's hot dog eating time. One hot dog, by the way. It was so spicy. One hot dog. One minute. One minute. In 28 seconds. One minute in 28 seconds.

I feel like it should be when I got it all in my mouth. Okay, one minute and... One minute. One minute, okay? Okay. The record pace set by the new hot dog eating world champion. One hot dog? One hot dog.

Eight seconds. Whoa! Pretty good. You're a minute twenty over there. I know, Ben. I don't want to say I set you up to fail, but... You knew all along. You don't have to say I set you up to fail, but... That's just for fun. You knew all along.

You don't have to pay me back for the hot dog. Oh, thanks. You're welcome. Who's the real winner here? Bree and Clint. I was just thinking, imagine if I ever try and get a job after this show and there's just going to be all these videos of me shoving food down my face and trying to fit as much in.

I just will never get a job. I didn't even remember about the giant donut when you ate the giant donut. That's because I failed miserably. We don't like to remember those ones. Also, you made us take the photos down. No, they're still up. Are they? Yeah, they're still up. There was just one particular double chin one that I said to take down.

Oh, that's right. It was a long donut not a round donut. Yeah, exactly. So it was not good. It's all right, mate. I'll keep bringing you challenges. I'll keep lining them up. You keep knocking them down. Hey, the steak one, I still stand by that.

I was very proud of that one. 1.2 kilo of steak. In 20 minutes. It was impressive. Yeah, I still regret it though. I'm proud of everything you do, okay? Even your failed ones. Yeah, because you don't have to do it.

Yeah, they'll come a day. I want to read you the headline of this story because it got my attention. It says, wife goes on strike to save marriage. Oh, on strike from what? On strike from her job so she stays home to work on her marriage. No? No. No?

Any other guesses? All my guesses will be sexist because I'll be like, she's on strike from cooking dinner, which she should if she's cooking dinner too much. Or she's on strike in the bedroom. But I've heard you shouldn't weaponise your intercourse. No, that's dangerous.

No, that's dangerous for everybody. Who says intercourse? I don't know what she's on strike from. Well, I've read the story and pretty much she's decided to take a stand and she's going on strike from doing absolutely everything around the house. Okay. She's had enough. Yeah.

So apparently over like lockdown period, her husband had to be working from home and she was as well. So they both were working from home. They're both in close proximity to each other. She's doing all the cooking, all the cleaning, all the washing, all the cleaning up, everything. And she said to him, hey, do you mind if you set up your office in the bedroom?

So you're out of the way. So you're out of the way a little bit and the kids can, you know, run around. Seems like a small thing to ask. So anyway, he put it off and put it off and she finally snapped and she decided she was just going to go on strike from any housework. Do no housework? No housework at all. Whoa.

It's quite confronting. Things would come grinding to a halt. If he's literally doing nothing and she's doing everything. Well, that's what she says. It would take a matter of hours. If the kids in's what she says. It would take a matter of hours. If the kids in the house took it, it would take a matter of hours before the wheels completely fell off. So do you want to know how long it took before? He noticed?

Yeah. Yeah. So apparently it took him about five days to notice. Those would be the most, she would be fuming. Can you imagine? She'd just be getting angrier and angrier. And the sink would be getting fuller and fuller. So what ultimately, what did she want to happen?

She wanted him to pitch in. She wanted him to notice. Did she want him to pitch in or did she just want some recognition for the work she's doing? Because a lot of people have their own particular way of doing the chores and they don't necessarily want you to do anything. They just want you to recognise. So it says in the story that you're exactly right.

She said mainly she wanted him to just give her a bit of recognition for what she was doing and, you know, say thank you, which he wasn't doing apparently. But apparently he did step up and he started doing some cleaning and stuff. Yeah. But she said to make sure that it wasn't a one-off, she took a stand for a little bit longer.

She just held out for a bit longer. Yeah. Right. There are circumstances under which he could be excused for this behaviour. Oh, here we go. Mansplain this to us. What if he's... We don't know what he's doing for work. Yeah. What if he's working on a COVID-19 vaccine? What if he's working on a COVID-19

vaccine? What if he's working on a vaccine? In which case, sorry, honey, I'm going to need I'm going to need I'm sure he's working on a COVID-19 vaccine from his dining room table. If you've ever been like Clint

and you've thought, hey, I'd love to buy an island at some point. I would love to buy an island. Yeah. You would. You'd be one of those people that'd be like, oh, always on the lookout for an island you could buy. Well, this could be for you. Well, you never know. The islands vary in size and price.

I'm not saying I'm in the market for an island. Did you ever hear about the island that went up for a raffle? No. Did you hear about that? No. I think it was in Aussie or near Aussie, just off the coast. How much for a raffle ticket for an island? I think they were $50 a raffle ticket. That's a good, as a gambling man, that's

good. I don't care how many tickets you're selling. I'll take five. And essentially they sold enough to get their money that they needed for the island, but then they raffled the island off and someone won it. What happened to a chest freezer full of meat? A whole island? Yeah, a whole island. And it had a resort on it too. All right, yeah.

Good deal. This one's still really, really lovely. Yes. Not up for a raffle though, unfortunately, but it is right here in New Zealand. Okay. So that makes it very feasible for us. It's called Pakatoa.

And they're calling it the jewel in Auckland Sea. And it's not far from Auckland. It's between Waiheke and Chamberlain's Island. It's about a 75-minute boat ride from the city centre. Not bad. Not bad. Some people are driving 75 minutes to get to work on the motorway. You could commute that if you wanted to.

I'd love to do that on a boat. You could. Yeah, okay. And they're selling it. It's from Kiwi businessman John Ramsey of Crusader Meats fame. Do you know him? I think he ran the chest freezer raffles. Right.

Anyway, he's owned it and their family, the Ramsey family, have owned it for years and years. And it's been on and off the market for 25 years. It's back on the market, if you're interested, a cool $40 million. Yeah, right. Okay. You wanted me to balk at $40 million, didn't you? $40 million for an island?

Yeah, what are your thoughts on that? I mean, I don't have $40 million, but it seems like a pretty good deal. Let me try and – I'm looking at it right now. It's huge. And there's houses on it. It looks like a mini Waiheke me try and... I'm looking at it right now. It's huge. And there's houses on it. It looks like a mini Waiheke Island. Looks great, doesn't it?

Yeah. Let me try and sell you even further. You don't need to. I've sold... Okay, fine. Keep going. I'll try and sell it to you even further. Guess who used to work here?

Who? On this island. Suzanne Paul. That would be pretty cool. Apparently, he used to call the bingo numbers. It's Russell Crowe. Right, Russell Crowe used to live on the island. Okay, that makes it a little less desirable.

Yeah, give me a selling point. Well, I've done some research with other islands that have been up for sale. Okay, yeah, how does she compare? If I'm going to buy Pukatua Island for $40 million, I do need to do my due diligence and look at other islands available. Well, let's talk Slipper Island, which is off the Coromandel. Yeah. It sold in 2015.

Okay. Which, I mean, I think a bit smaller than this island that's up for sale. Yeah. But Slipper Island sold in 2015 for $8 million. Again, not bad. As far as islands go. That's a good deal. You can pay $8 million for a, not bad. As far as islands go. That's a good deal. You can pay $8 million for a house in Auckland.

Yeah, that's crazy. If you're getting an entire island. Yeah, okay, cool. There's a few other islands that have come up here. Pepin Island near Nelson. Okay, how much for Pepin Island? It's currently on the market for $17.8. Not bad.

Bit of a long commute for me, though. Too long of a commute. Anything else? There is this, it's quite a big island, and it's a little bit away from New Zealand, but have you ever heard of Tasmania? Yeah, I've heard of it. Yeah. Bit of a fixer-upper.

Yeah, fixer-upper. Yeah, fixer-upper.
