Okay?

I saw that. I haven't done it. Oh, you've got to do it, man. Don't do it now or I'll spoil it. Yeah, it's quite interesting. Actually, there's something else in the podcast group I'd like to share, or maybe it was an inbox on our Instagram. Go on then.

I can't remember. So, did you guys know that Tim Tams, if you buy the original, I think you get 12, but if you buy like a double coated or... Flavour. Flavour, you only get nine. Really? Or maybe it's ten and nine.

Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. That's rigged. It can't be that different because the packs sit next to each other. Trust me, I did a lot of biscuit inspection when I was doing that Bicky Off competition. Right. Here we go. Original Tim Tams contains 11 biscuits. And double.

Hold on, let me go double coated. Double coated. Americans don't have Tim Tams, by the way. Double coated, you get nine. That is mind blowing Isn't it? I guess because they're double coated so they take up more room No

Really? No I don't reckon What's the superior Tim Tam by the way everybody? What's the best Tim Tam? I like just original Have you had double coated? Yeah Right

Do you still prefer original? I think so What's the one with caramel in it? That's caramel. Gooey caramel's the best. Oh, yeah. I like that one. Simple but a little bit spiced up. Not too much.

I would like a double-coated gooey caramel. Does that exist? I don't think that exists. Where do you keep your Tim Tams? Pantry or fridge? Probably the pantry. I think pantry. Eat in one sitting.

What? Eat in one sitting. You don't store them anywhere. They're gone before you put them in the cupboard. I like pantry. Eat in one sitting. What? Eat in one sitting. You don't store them anywhere. They're gone before you go to the cupboard. I like you, Anastasia. That's good. Thank you. My mum always buys the worst Tim Tams.

What does she buy? The cherry. Oh, the dark chocolate. The dark chocolate and orange. That's all my mum had in lockdown. Why do old people love dark chocolate and orange? Wasn't lockdown punishment enough? Why do they like chocolate and orange. That's all my mum had in lockdown. Why do old people love dark chocolate and orange? Wasn't lockdown punishment enough? Why do they like

chocolate and orange stuff? It's not a good combo. Like why are they trying to make Tim Tams fancy? They're just a biscuit? Well they're already fancy. Like Tim Tams are a fancy biscuit. Do you guys love the arrow root? Don't mind it. I love an arrow root. I've been having one every night with my tea.

You what Ben? I need a photo to see what it looks like. You don't know love an arrowroot I've been having one Every night with my tea You want Ben? I need a photo To see what it looks like You don't know What an arrowroot is Oval shaped? Yeah Oval shaped

It's like plain biscuits Has anyone ever had a Damn it The name just went Right out of my head Do you guys have Monte Carlo's here? Super wine

Do you know what that is? I love Monte Carlo's They're so good They're underrated Has anyone had a super wine With some butter And you put two super wines together? What's a super wine? Super wine's a...

Plain. It's like a plain milk biscuit. I'm not a fan. Similar to an arrowroot. Oh, right. Actually, this would work with an arrowroot too. You put butter between them. Have you guys had s'mores before?

Yeah. Like a real s'more? No. What, a chocolate biscuit with a marshmallow in between it? No, it's not a chocolate biscuit. Graham cracker. No, they're like an arrowroot or just a plain biscuit, and then you put chocolate and then melted marshmallows.

You need the actual graham crackers, right? Exactly. They're kind of harder than the ones we'd use here. But if you were to substitute in a fire. Do you put the whole biscuit in the fire? No. You just put the marshmallow, you put the chocolate on the graham cracker, and then the marshmallow goes on last on top of the chocolate to melt that,

and then another biscuit on top. Edmund. Yeah, it is a little bit. Plus you've got to light a fire. It's better using choc-thins because you've got two steps all together, the chocolate and the cracker. Yeah, that's smart. We used to do it out of our heater sometimes

Oh my god What inside? What sort of heater? Gas heater? No wood Like a wood heater A wood heater? Yeah

Where you burn wood You mean a normal fire? A fire Yeah a wood heater It's a fire It's a fire It's a wood fire It's a wood heater

There you go There's another cultural difference It's the exact same thing I've never heard it called a wood heater I imagined a wood heater Oh there you go There's another cultural Difference that we weren't aware of It's the exact same thing I've never heard it called a wood heater I imagined a wood heater Would heat your wood up Yeah so it's a

So it makes it warm Because it's a fire Yeah it heats it up the most Until it's on fire This is interesting I never knew it So you call it a wood fire A wood burner

That's the exact same thing As what I'm saying Yeah I know it's the same thing Yeah yeah yeah Yeah just different names Yeah I just never heard of a wood fire. A wood burner. That's the exact same thing as what I'm saying. Yeah, I know it's the same thing. Yeah, just different names. I just never heard of a wood heater. If someone said to me, I've got a wood fire, I'd go, oh, where is it? Outside, where is it? Like a wood fire pizza.

Whereas when I say a wood heater, you go, oh, that's obviously a heater that's burning wood. Outdoor fire, we call it a brazier. We call it a bonfire. Sure, it is a bonfire. It is true. A brazier is contained. What's a brazier?

You know, you get those, like something to have your fire in outside, like a fire pit. It's like a metal basket. A metal basket or like a, some people have like a concrete dish thing area. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, yeah, I know what you're talking about. Like a mini, mini bonfire. I can't remember. We call that something else, but we don't call it a brazier that's a wood you guys

call a wood killer a wood killer no i've got a really good story about a bonfire actually my dad we used to love to make a bonfire at my house because we obviously live on a farm and i remember we used to have these massive new year's bonfire in drought conditions? That's a great question. No. So we used to mow all around it and then wet. But not when it was really, really dry. It's too dangerous. But this was back in the day before there was bad, bad drought. Before global warming. Yeah.

Anyway, so we're having this big New Year's party. I would have been about nine or ten and we were making this big bonfire and we were, you know, chaining up these big logs and dragging them down from the top paddock and, you know, make it giant. Using Clydesdales. Giant, you know, big, like huge. Wait, the Clydesdales are big? Huh?

No, don't worry. No, it was a tractor actually. Nice. Yeah, it was a tractor. Anyway, made this big bonfire. What's the occasion? New Year's. Oh, yeah.

God, you really don't listen to me. I do, I do. There's too many details. Anyway, made this big bonfire and I wrote my brother into this really good plan because all these older people were sitting around the bonfire. And I said to my brother, I was like, I heard this thing that if you throw baked beans into the bonfire. No, it's bad.

They explode. Like a can of baked beans. Yeah. Anyway, so we got this can of baked beans. Don't do this at home, by the way. It is so dumb. But we were country kids. We were bored, obviously.

Threw this can of baked beans into the fire. And then 20 minutes passes. Nothing. 30 minutes. Nothing. It's a long time. 40 minutes. Nothing.

We were like, oh, this is boring. Obviously, it doesn't work. Let's go. Anyway, probably like 20 minutes later, you just hear this boom. Nothing We were like Oh this is boring Obviously doesn't work Let's go Anyway Probably like 20 minutes later You just hear this Boom And then all these people

Like What the fuck is this And the baked beans Went everywhere Was there like Shrapnel Like beans And like

No one was injured But I do not recommend To do it Because there was Some people That got minor burns. I'd forgive your brother for that because good-looking people can get away with anything, but you, I bet you were grounded.

But we do have that chance for you every single hour today on the show. Yeah, how awesome. Up next, we want to get your guys' take on certain names. What's your name? Clint. Is it something that's universal? I don't think I know any girls with the name Clint. Oh, I see what you mean.

Yeah. We want to talk universal names because a list has been released about a new trend in baby names. This is Benny on ZM. It's super lonely. Brianne Clint. Brianne Clint. I was reading this thing on the internet,

which your baby daughter is just about to turn one this weekend. Is that on the internet? No, but I was thinking this relates to that because you guys named Tui quite an unusual name. Do you think? Yeah, I don't think it's a super common name. Right. Which I love.

I love names that are a little bit different. I just named her after my favourite drink. I thought you were going to say bird. But there's a list on the internet that's doing the rounds where there's a new baby name trend on the rise. Right. Which I think this has been for a little while actually, but the trend is that people are starting

or they have been giving baby girls traditional boy names. Why? I don't think there's any reason why. I think just people are after something. Do they think they'll get pay parity? No. They'll apply for a job. We wish. And the boss will be like, this is a man that I'm hiring. I get pay parity? No. They'll apply for a job. We wish.

And the boss will be like, this is a man that I'm hiring. I'll pay him full rate. And then they walk in and they're like, you're not a man. No, I think it's because people these days kind of want to give their babies cool and unique names. Yeah. And I think. There's nothing more unique than a girl called Gareth. Well, I don't think Gareth is one of the names

that they're tossing up to call a girl. I don't know. You're the one with the last. There's a list here of 30 names that people are switching in and out to call little baby girls. And they're really cute. I quite like them. Okay.

So I'll just read out a few of them and then we can see, we'll decide if we like it or not. Okay. Jasper. Jasper. For a girl. Okay. Jasper. Jasper. For a girl. Don't mind it. Quite cute.

Arlo for a girl is very cute. Oh, yeah. Noah. Wesley. Jensen. Wait, Wesley. Wesley. Noah.

I like Noah for a girl. But Noah is, yeah, okay. Noah. There'll be a Noah out there, but I just go Noah, the guy with the boat. What, he doesn't own the name. Well, he made the name. No, he didn't. It's where it comes from.

You're given it. Yeah, right, true. And is he, yeah, well, okay, well, fair enough. It's like, I guess you can. Is he real? Is that what you're going to ask? No, well, I mean, is he? Jury's out.

I want to see the big boat, to be honest. Paxton, Michael, Ryder, Grayson, Miles. Michael. Michael. Yeah, I've got a friend who's called Michael. She's a girl. A girlfriend called Michael? Yeah.

Wow. She's the first one I ever met. Yeah. And she's a Kiwi. Does she go by Mike? No, Michael. Michael. Yeah.

Okay. Ryder, Grayson, Miles, James. James for a girl. James for a girl. I Miles, James. James for a girl. James for a girl. I've never met a James for a girl. Obviously, yeah. Declan, Levi. Declan.

Kyle. No, stop. Maxwell. Maxwell. No, no, no, no, no. Beckett. No, now you're just saying boys' names. No, these are all on the list.

Popular. Obviously, obviously you can call your child whatever you like. And obviously. No, I like it obviously gender is a spectrum and some would argue a man-made constraint in some situations. Who decided in the first place that these were boys' names and these were girls' names? Kyle. These are the

top ten. This is the top ten. Austin. I love that for a girl. Beautiful. That's cute. Ezra. I could see that for a girl. Beautiful. Sullivan. I don't think I've ever met a guy named Sullivan. No, I could see that for a girl. Sullivan. Yep. I don't think I've ever met a guy named Sullivan. No, I thought it was a last name. Wyatt.

Beautiful. I know boys called Wyatt. Great name. Evan. Evan. Yeah. Hudson. Oh, that's cute for a girl.

I like that. Yeah. Ryan. Tyler. Lincoln. And the top one is Spencer. Right. Lincoln the girl.

Now, inevitably, because we've just rattled off about 45 names, we've probably offended quite a lot of- Hey, you're the only one that was like, ew, nah, ew, gross, ah, what? And I was like, quite like it. Not bad. Yeah, quite like it. So, yes, you've offended. Fine, fine, fine.

But if that's the trend, then yeah, fill your boots. Show me, I'll name, if we have another girl, I'll name it Clint. Well, that's a bit self-indulgent, isn't it? True. Can't you pick another guy's name? I want to know, I want people to call through 0800DIALSATM and not just the girls. I want the guys to call through 0800DIALSATM and not just the girls. I want the guys to call through.

I want you to call through if you think you've got a traditionally the opposite sex name. Oh, yeah. So you can be a boy or a girl, but you think traditionally your name was meant for the opposite gender. Right. 0800DIALSATM right now or you can text us on 9696. Bree and Clint. Trend on the rise at the moment, giving baby girls traditional boy names.

Yeah. Which I love this trend. For uniqueness, right? For uniqueness, yeah. Something a little bit different and I'm here for it. Like it. I've heard the trend of giving your kid an androgynous name so that they can choose their own gender later on,

so they can keep their name and it works both ways. I think who decided what was a boy's name and what was a girl's name? Well, that's what it comes back to, right? But you've got to admit that your mind goes to one or the other when you hear a name. It does. For some reason it does. But we've asked you to call through 0800-DIAL-ZM.

The boys or the girls, if you've got a name that traditionally is for the opposite gender. Wait Rachel are you a man called Rachel? No I'm not. That would have been very unusual. You would have won the phone topic straight away. Rachel what do you have to contribute? My niece is

Noah. Your niece is Noah? Because that's one of the names So she's Noah Emma. She's nearly 16. Yeah right. That's one of the names on the top of the list. It's I love that. Your niece is Noah. Because that's one of the names. So she's Noah Emma. She's nearly 16. Yeah, right. That's one of the names on the top of the list. It's a beautiful name. My godson's name is Noah.

But did you think it was a boy's name before you had a niece called Noah? No, because it was spelt differently. It's just N-O-A. Yeah, I like that. Very cute. Yeah, right. Okay, thanks, Rachel. Let's talk to Tyler.

Hi, Tyler. Hi, Tyler. Hi. Is it you? Yes, right. Okay, thanks, Rachel. Let's talk to Tyler. Hi, Tyler. Hi, Tyler. Hi. Is it you? Yes, sorry. Your name? Yeah, so my name is Tyler, but my younger sister's names are Blake and Ridley.

So I thought that naming us unisex names was quite fun, but we often get mistaken for boys before we meet people. I reckon all three of you have male-leaning names. I love the name Tyler or Blake for a girl. I think that's cool. Yeah, right. Okay. Thanks, Tyler. That's cool. Let's talk to Shane. Hi, Shane. Hi, Shane. Hiya. How are you?

Good, thanks. Does someone you know have a name that's more towards the other gender? Yes, I've got a younger sister. She's 13, and when she was born, my mother decided she liked the name Troy. Troy for a girl? She's 13.

You know, I'm trying to do the mental math here. 13 years ago, is that when the Brad Pitt movie Troy came out? No, it had nothing to do with that. Apparently, she just really liked it. Her full name is Troy Kingy. Oh, really? I love that. Your sister full name is Troy Kingy. That's cool. Really?

I love that. Troy Kingy? Your sister's name is Troy Kingy? Yep. Like Troy Kingy? Wow. Yep. Okay.

Named after her father, I think, her middle name. There you go. Very cool and unique. I like it. Jim's here. Hi, Jim. Hi, Jim. Jim.

Jim. Jim. Hello. There he is. Oh, Jim Jim Hello Oh Jim Hello mate Jim you're a man Yeah And you've got the name Jim

Yeah I was named after Jim and the Holograms Were you You were not named after Jim and the Holograms Yeah Were you That's kind of cool

Yeah Because Jim and the Holograms All female All female Anime rock band There's Which one of your parents Love them I'm guessing Jim Because Jim and the Holograms, all female anime rock band. Yes. Which one of your parents love them? I'm guessing Jim.

Wait, wait. No, which one of your parents love that band? No, not which one of the Holograms did they love. Oh. I kind of got that from your name. But good answer, Jim. Thank you. Appreciate it. We'll finish with Diane.

Hi, Diane. Hi, Diane. Hi, I've got two girls and they're called Drew and Reese. Perfect. Love that. Beautiful. Love it. Did you think they were boys' names when you gave them to them

or have other people told you they were boys' names? No, we got them from like Drew Barrymore and Reese Witherspoon. And Reese Witherspoon, yeah. Yeah. I would think of those names more towards females now. Yeah, now, yeah, yeah. Yeah, right. Okay, well, yeah. Yeah, right. Okay, well, thanks, Diane.

Interesting. The moral of the story, name your kid whatever you want so long as you don't name them Bus Shelter, like that kid that got born a while ago. Or what's his name from Tesla named his kid. Oh, yeah. Doesn't have a ring to it. Bree and Clint from iHeartRadio.

This is the latest live from LA with Dean McCarthy. Dean, Shalise Theron has copped some very harsh news over a new movie role. Yeah, she certainly has. She's said that she will not be reprising her role in the Mad Max prequel. So what they've done, this has sucked. They are now casting a female actress in her 20s,

and they have axed Charlize Theron, who's 44, from coming back and doing another role in this series, which is a shame because, I don't know, do you ever saw it? She was so hot and so badass. She's the hottest. She made the whole movie, in my opinion. She was one of the two main characters. She was one of the main people that made and so badass. She's the hottest. She made the whole movie, in my opinion. She was one of the two main characters. She was one of the main people that made it so great.

So, Dean, are they recasting Tom Hardy as well? I don't think so. I'm not sure, but I don't think so. All I know is that at this point, she is the one that is not coming back. She said she's pretty heartbroken and hurt by it because, you know, like you said, she was the star of that film. I interviewed her straight after that film and I said to her, what did Chanel think when you shaved your head? And she goes, well,, like you said, she was the star of that film. I interviewed her straight after that film and I said to her, what did Chanel think when you shaved your head?

And she goes, well, they probably liked it considering I don't work with Chanel, I work with Dior. And then I was like, I handed over my gay card and I went, you know what? Yep, I'm out. Not long ago. I really feel for her because I read, yeah, what you were saying, Dean. She was actually really quite upset by it

because they pretty much looked her in the face and said we're casting a younger female because you're too old you're too old

and how old is she do we know 44 44 Dean just said I think yeah right okay rough

and women cop that more in Hollywood than men do as well that's why I'm very curious to see if Tom Hardy is still in it or if they're getting a newer hotter Tom Hardy

well that's what I'd like to know too. Yeah, it'd be interesting. That's Dean McCarthy. He's a Hollywood correspondent live out of Los Angeles. Netflix news. I heard Georgia talking about this today. A new Netflix update. I love that noise.

A new update which means that you can effectively erase your Netflix history. Which when you told me about this, what was your first initial thought? My initial thought was get the stuff that you've watched that you didn't enjoy out of your Netflix algorithm. Smart. So it stops suggesting you things related to that. Like that Morgan Freeman religion show that my wife watched. But you don't necessarily like.

And now I keep getting served shows about religion, which is not my cup of tea. So if you take those out, the algorithm changes. Hopefully I will revert back to just like Peaky Blinders and stuff that I'm interested in. Right, got it, got it. Got to set her up her own Netflix account. That costs more money.

My initial thought was, oh, that means I can get away with watching shows, like, you know, watching shows without my partner that we're watching together. Yeah, so yours is more sinister. Because I don't do it because then when we go in to watch it together, boom, there's the evidence right there on the TV. It says that it's been watched. Yeah.

So is that what you would do? You would skip ahead and watch without them and then erase that and then when you guys snuggle down together to watch it, you'd just suffer through an episode that you'd already seen. Oh, where you can be on your phone

or have a sleep. Right, right, right, right. Whatever. And then you were just on your phone your whole time and they're like, babe, I thought you loved this show. And you're like, yeah, I'm just...

Yeah, I'm just... I'm Googling about the show. Yeah, I'm just doing a bit of life admin. Yeah, right. At the moment, if you want to erase any of your data, you can only do it on the Android or iPhone app. Okay. But I assume if you do it on there,

it'll just sync with your TV one and then you're sweet. Well, yeah, because it's all the same account, right? Like if you watch something on your phone, then it comes up that it's been watched on your TV. Yeah, essentially it's all the same account, right? Like if you watch something on your phone, then it comes up that it's been watched on your TV. Yeah, essentially it's like, you know, when you go to your Google history and you get rid of stuff. Yeah, exactly like that. Same thing. Clearing your browser.

Welcome to another episode of Who's Gone Vegan? It is not a game we play regularly. It's a game we play regularly where we profile celebrities who have decided to go vegan. Because, well, there's nothing else to talk about. So, this person is a very famous singer. One of the biggest celebrity breakthrough artists of the last 12 months. Yep. And she's loving being vegan.

It's all up on her TikTok. It's on her TikTok. She's completely converted. Yeah, she does her vegan recipes on TikTok. Oh, yeah, cool. It's an area of TikTok you haven't got into yet, vegan recipes. No, I did.

Remember last year I did my vegan shepherd's pie. Oh, you did too? Yeah. Right, okay. I'm covering all bases. Well, the new member of the vegan community is... She should change it to... There you go.

That's what she needs to do, yeah. Change the handle. She is all about it. I've been watching her TikTok recipes and I mean... Any good ones? Yeah. As someone who has no appetite to go vegan whatsoever, she makes it look good.

Yeah. She makes it look delicious. She said that, this is a quote, she went vegan during lockdown and she says that her vegan life is making her very lit and full, which is a great way to describe that. I can comment on this because I have been vegan at a certain point in my life.

You eat or you have to eat so many carbs that you do feel full. You were vegan by association. Yeah, my partner was vegan and it was just easier for me to eat vegan. Did you full-time vegan it? I did for quite a long period and then there was times where – You didn't go BK on the way home?

No, I never did that. But if I went out to work lunch and there wasn't much on the menu, I'd just get like whatever I wanted. Yeah, right. Essentially. It's quite a drastic change to go full vegan. And more power to you if that's what you want to do. It's hard.

We're not bagging the vegan diet at all. It's just I don't know if I could – I'd have to disappoint. Lizzo has said that she has hummus as now her go-to snack. I love hummus. And she's replaced her favourite food, Cheetos, with paleo puffs. Paleo puffs. Never heard of them. Never heard of them either.

But they must be like Cheetos. I imagine that going vegan in LA is a lot easier than going vegan in, say, Timaru. Well, yeah. You've got more options. We were there in LA last year and lots of vegan cafes. Yeah, lots of vegan options. It's very trendy. There's entire vegan takeaways. And there are ones

popping up around New Zealand as well. But it's not as easy, right? No. You can't get to it. Because she said the hardest bit, Liz always said the hardest bit about being vegan for her is the hangover. Because vegan food is less, she's found vegan food less satisfying for her hangovers. You know when you're hungover and you just want some bacon

and eggs? They say, and to be honest, I can vouch for this, that's when I would struggle the most. Yeah. After I'd had a few drinks and you'd be walking home and you look at the kebab shop and you're like, hello, I miss you. Hello, darkness, my old friend.

And you just forget about being vegan and you roll in there. This is what I want to talk about. Lizzo's gone vegan. Congratulations. You went vegan. Congratulations. Didn't last though, did it? No, it's too hard. And I don't mean to be negative about Lizzo's transition to vegan-dom, but is it going to last? Liam Hemsworth was vegan. Is he still vegan?

No, he went back after health complications, he said. To vegetarian? Unsure. Or full-blown meat eater? Unsure, actually. Anne Hathaway? Because once you go out there and you go, I'm vegan,

people are going to watch what you're eating and go, wait, you said you were vegan. This is a secret. You don't tell people. No, that is the secret. Just do it for yourself. I wonder if we can do a bit of a call-in this afternoon. And I mean, if your vegan friends are listening and you don't want to be named, you can be anonymous.

How long did you last vegan? Like, you went vegan. So you want the people who have been vegan at some point and you want to know how long they were vegan for. Yeah, yeah. People are not vegan anymore. Yeah, so they've- How long did you last for?

They've reverted back. Yeah, you might have gone 15 years and I'd love to know what changed you back or you might have gone, this is me, new year, new me, I'm all about it and you lasted until the second week of January. That's good too. Because that's when you went out for some drinks.

Well, maybe, yeah. Or you went to a barbecue. Or a cheeseburger? Give us a call. 0800 dial ZM. How long did you last vegan? Bree and Clint. Lizzo is vegan.

And I wouldn't make such a big thing about it, except she is all about it. If you follow her on TikTok, she's slanging out vegan eggs, vegan smoothies. She's published her entire vegan diet. She's slanging out vegan eggs, vegan smoothies. She's published her entire vegan diet. She's all about it. She says it's changed her life and she loves being vegan. Good for

her. Good for her. It's making her happy. And we don't mean to be cynical, but how long will it last? It's not the easiest thing in the world. No, it's not the easiest. To be vegan. No restrictive diet is the easiest thing to keep up. I did full-blown vegetarianism for, probably lasted about six or seven months.

And now it's probably more like 80, 20. It's just hard. It's hard removing anything that you enjoy from your diet, right? Yeah, it is difficult because, I mean, there's so much temptation. Yeah. So much. In every ad break. Especially with Uber Eats.

And on every billboard. And on every corner. Just at your beck and call. So how long did you last vegan? Hi Rochelle. Hello. Hello. Are you vegan Rochelle? I was vegan for five years. Whoa, that's a long time. Congratulations. Why are you not vegan anymore? I became a poor student and extremely lazy. Is it? Well, I don't know, actually.

Is it an expensive diet to maintain? If you want to cook really fancy foods, I found it to be quite expensive. I was originally just vegan for three years, and then I actually turned raw vegan. So I would only eat raw foods until four. It's called raw until four. I was originally just vegan for three years, and then I actually turned raw vegan. So I would only eat raw foods until four. It's called raw till four.

It's a lot of bananas. Yeah, it's really turned me off them. Wait, wait, wait. Raw till four, and then you could have cooked food after four? Yeah, which would normally be like a massive bowl of potatoes. There's heaps of books about it and stuff. Rochelle, can I ask, would you take supplements and stuff when you were vegan?

No, I actually never needed to, which was good. I was pretty good at making sure my health was looked after. It's the healthiest I've actually ever been, which is really sad because now I literally just went through a McDonald's drive-thru.

Hey, you could have got something vegan from there. Yeah, right. Okay, let's talk to Ihaka. Hi, Ihaka. Hi. Kia ora. Kia ora. How long did you last vegan?

I was a vegan for two and a half years and I had stopped due to travelling around New Zealand with my family in a caravan. Yeah, right. Really? Because I was going to ask, what was the food that made you go back? No, it was just more the ease of prepping meals.

You could only have vegetables, stir fry, so many nuts in a row. It kind of got a little bit boring. The inconvenience of being vegan on the road. So now you're out of the caravan, how come you haven't gone back to being vegan? Or are you still in the caravan? No, so we've moved back up to Auckland. But no, so we just don't really eat as much minimal meat as possible. Yeah.

And also no dairy products. So we drink almond milk and stuff like that. But yeah, I wouldn't just call it myself plant-based anymore because I do have the odd... Bits and pieces. ...sort of milk and coffee in the coffee. Yeah. Put milk in it.

Yeah, fair enough. Yeah, and a few bits of pieces, but yeah. Isn't it better to be that way though, Ihaka? Because then you can, you know, people aren't on your back all the time and if you feel like it or if you really need something, you can just have it once in a while. Yeah. Yeah. Amber as well.

Hi, Amber. Hi. How long did you last vegan? Oh. I think we're having some phone issues. Oh, no. I wanted to know. Well, too bad.

Let's assume she lasted three days. Someone on the text machine said they lasted two weeks. Yeah, right. And then they were like, can't do it, need a burger. That would be a lot of people. Yeah, right. And then they were like, can't do it, need a burger. I reckon that would be a lot of people's experience too. I've got a pretty unbelievable story to tell you this afternoon. And it's about a pet rabbit. Okay.

So a girl over in Melbourne, her name is Grace. She had a pet rabbit named Sharon, Which I love that name for a rabbit Very cute I like any animals with overtly human names Human names, so cute Like a cat called Stephen Yeah Stephen, what have you done?

Stephen, you've pooed on the carpet again God, Stephen Anyway, so her pet rabbit was named Sharon She went missing from the backyard Oh no And Grace was very upset Because she's had Sharon for about four or five years was named Sharon. She went missing from the backyard. Oh, no. And Grace was very upset because she's had Sharon for about four or five years. So she's had it for a long time.

It's her pet rabbit. Yeah. Is that the rabbit that I'm looking at there? Yeah, very cute. It's a floppy, a lop-eared rabbit. Yeah, so cute. Anyway, this wasn't the first time that Sharon has gone missing. She's a bit of an escape artist.

Sharon the rabbit, yeah. Sharon the rabbit. And she's gotten out before, but Grace was pretty sure they'd blocked all those areas off. So she was like, oh, she'll turn up. She's somewhere here because we've blocked all the areas off. Yeah. And you would know rabbits like to dig and burrow and do all that kind of stuff.

Yeah, it's right in their wheelhouse. Anyway, so they were hopeful that Sharon the rabbit was going to turn up. Anyway, a week went past, no Sharon. Two weeks went past, no Sharon. 22 days had passed, still no sight of Sharon. Yeah, you give up then. They pretty much had come to terms with that Sharon was probably dead. Or she'd moved on to greener pastures. Exactly. Or she'd moved on to

another family or someone had taken her or something. But she was gone. Or she was in a stew. She was gone forever. Anyway, so they'd kind of come to terms with that. And it was a later one night that one of their friends was staying over at their flat. Anyway, so their friend was like, oh, I'll just sleep on the pull-out couch in the lounge room. Anyway, so she's pulled out this, you know, bed from the pull-out couch.

Who did she find in the couch? It was Sharon. Alive or dead? Alive. Oh, Christ. Alive and well. I thought Sharon the rabbit had got onto the couch and then been folded up. No.

And we had a dead Sharon in the couch. No, she was alive. She was a little bit dehydrated and a little bit skinny. Was she stuck? No, she was actually stoked. She kind of burrowed her way in because rabbits like to be in small and enclosed spaces, and she'd been living there for the past three weeks. But why hadn't she come out for water or food?

Well, they don't know. No, right? Yeah, they don't know. That's what makes me think she was maybe able to get in but not able to get out. That could have been the case. And you'd be forgiven for never looking for your pet rabbit, Sharon, inside the fold-out couch. Right? Can you imagine when you find her and she's in there and she's alive after three weeks?

Oh my god, Sharon! What are you doing in there, Sharon? Sharon, what are you doing in the futon? Anyway, happy ending. Sharon's fine. Happy ending. Sharon, they got her checked out. She's all good but they've thrown out the pull-out couch.

Kia ora, this is Toby Mann. I'm the host of Gone By Lunchtime, a podcast for the spin-off podcast network all about politics and politicians. Kia ora, this is Toby Mannheim. I'm the host of Gone by Lunchtime, a podcast for the spin-off podcast network all about politics and politicians, with me, Annabel Lee-Mather and Ben Thomas, careering wildly from the very serious to the very ridiculous. It's not for everyone. I don't think it would be Ellen's cup of tea,

but you, I reckon, will love it. Gone by Lunchtime. Grab one now wherever you get your podcasts. Bree and Clint. This is quite exciting. We don't often get that much of a glimpse into Bree's life before she moved to New Zealand. Everything here is on the record. I mean, you've been on the radio and the TV the whole time you've been here.

But what was your life in Australia like? Pretty much the same. Yeah, well, was it? Yeah, pretty much. Was it? Because you've been quite secretive. You know, maybe a little bit different. Just think, like we've talked about before, McLeod's daughters. Yeah, well, was it? Yeah, pretty much. Was it? Because you've been quite secretive. You know, oh, maybe a little bit different. Just think, like we've talked about before, McLeod's daughters. Yeah.

But, like, in reality. Yeah, right. That was my life. I'd like more detail and that's why I was so excited. I was watching Channel 9 News last night and who popped up on the screen but one of your ex-boyfriends? You're such an idiot.

It's uncanny. You showed me a picture of him once before you hit him on your Facebook. I know exactly what you're doing here. And I recognised him straight away. I don't remember his name. This is a stitch-up. But he's in the great Australian state of Victoria. He's in an, he's in,

he's in, he's in an area called Wodonga. And, Great place. Bree's ex-boyfriend has crashed someone else's live cross on the news, on Channel 9 News.

But it was good to see him. He's come in holding a large can of VB. Yeah, it was his favourite. It was his favourite. And, and here's a bit of him.

You guys won't be familiar with him, so here's a bit of Bree's ex-boyfriend. I don't really give a ****, you know. I'm in lockdown. Mate, mate, I live here and you try to lock me out of Wally Wodonga and Albury. How am I supposed to get a settling? No, no, that's what I'm really worried about, you know.

Now, where do I go? You tell that to Channel 9. What are you, Channel 7? 8, 10, 12? It's lovely to hear from him. We sound so similar too, don't we? I know, I know. And you're saying this through gritted teeth

because you think it's all a big joke. It's not a joke. He is Bree's ex-boyfriend, and we've got him on the phone. Bree's ex-boyfriend, Nick, come in. Nick, are you there? G'day, Bree. I miss you so much. Hello, Nick.

How are you? Good. How have you been? You've been blocking all my calls. Yeah, she's got a new partner, Nick. No, I got a new number. A new partner? Yeah, she's got a new partner.

Yeah, I got a new number as well, Nick. I'll have to send it to you. Are you still on Facebook? No, I don't know. Who you still on Facebook? No, no. Who? On the what? No, you've got to text me. Yeah.

You want to be now with me? Yeah, you've got to text him, Brie. Have you got the big ones, like tallies of the VBs? Because they were my favourite. Yeah, lots of tallies. Lots of tallies. Did you see me on the news?

Yeah, I saw you. You look great. Yeah, you guys have got a lot to catch up with. I'm going to take this chat off here, but it's just nice to get that little look into Breece. You two are idiots. Fast life.

Good to hear from you, Nick. Thanks, mate. Thanks, mate. I miss you, Breece, so much. All right, don't drink and drive, man. Bree and Clint. Once upon a time, there was a girl. She was smart, debatable, talented, athletic.

Not really. Picking a movie based on just the plot line? That she can do. Brie and Clint's What The Plot. It's our movie guessing game where you take Bree on to guess movie plots correctly. If you can get two out of three before she does, today you'll win $300 of mobile fuel. I'm here to win. I want to get to $1,000. I've talked about it before and today's no different. You're looking to go six games undefeated today and Sarah is looking to stop you.

Hi Sarah. Hi to stop you. Hi, Sarah. Hi, Sam. Hi. Okay, for the game today, have you heard it before? You know how it works. Yeah, I listen to it all the time. Okay, great. This week's theme, because we are launching Friday Okie Live,

the first Friday Okie Live next Friday in Auckland at Little Easy, 7.30. Everybody's welcome to come, free entry. Today, movies with the best karaoke scenes in them. Oh, 7.30. Everybody's welcome to come. Free entry. Today, movies with the best karaoke scenes in them. Oh, God. Okay. Right? Does that mean, are you talking about where they add a karaoke bar? Dunno.

What do you mean? Movies with the best karaoke scenes in them. That's the only clue I'll give you. I'll start reading plots when you're ready. Buzz in with your name, Sarah Aubrey. Best of luck, guys. Movie number one. At the start of the new year, our main character is

32 years old and decides it's time to take control of her life. She decides to start keeping a diary. Bridget Jones' diary. Brie. Brie. Bridget Jones' Diary. Bridget Jones' Diary is correct. That makes me feel good about my singing.

It should make anybody who is considering coming to one of our Friday Okies in Auckland, Hamilton, Wellington, Christchurch or Dunedin feel good about themselves. Yeah, totally. You're still in this, Sarah, okay? You can still win it.

Okay, I have to get the next two, right? Yes, you need to get the next two. It's doable. Okay. Yep. Movie number two.

Andy is a single guy. Bree. Bree. I'm going to say 40-year-old virgin. 40-year-old virgin is correct. You can't imagine how often I've heard of Basuki. Just got added to Netflix, so I watched it the other night. No.

No good. Sorry, Sarah. Sorry, Sarah. Okay. It's fine. Well done. You can win $350 next week if you call back. Okay.

No worries. Bring it on. That's how What's the Plot works. We will jackpot the mobile fuel. Thank you, mobile. Bree and Clint. Okay. Last night I was watching a Spider-Man film,

and I had this realisation of a new game that I've created and that's why I've come up with this. Spider-Man, Spider-Man, does whatever a spider can. I like to call this game My Spidey Senses Are Tingling. My spider senses are starting to tingle. Look, Clint, I have this theory after watching

Spider-Man last night that I believe I can guess anyone's age based on one thing. Right. Who they think is Spider-Man.

Okay, I understand. So, I think we're going to go for the three different ones that I can think of. Of course, we've got Tobey Maguire. Webb! Up, up and away, Webb! Shazam! Go! Go! Go, Webb, go!

Andrew Garfield. You know, in the future, if you're going to steal cars, don't dress like a car thief, man. You a cop? You seriously think I'm a cop? Pop in a skin-tight red and blue suit. And the most recent, Tom Holland. Hey, guys! You ever see that really old movie? And Price Strikes Back?

Jesus, Tony, how old is this guy? I don't know. I didn't carbon date him. He's on the young side. Perfect. I've done some research. I've looked into a few things. And now we're going to put it to the test.

Okay, let's give it a go. I'm interested to see if you can nail this. Because surely that only gives you an age window. Surely it only gives you... Can we go roundabouts? No. I can't guess exactly. That's what you said you could do.

You said you could tell their age. I reckon a couple of years, give or take. Luther, hi. Hi, Luther. Hello. One question, Luther. Who do you think is Spider-Man? Tobey Maguire.

Right. So if I look at my research, I'm going to say that Luther... I'm going to say he was born around 1997. Which makes him how old? It's a very good question. Okay, so you're not guessing their age, you're just trying to guess when they were born? It's the same thing. Luther, were you born in 1997?

No. When were you born? 2002. Oh, that's not that far off. Five years off. Okay, Matt, hi. Hi, Matt. Hey, how you going?

Good, thank you. Simple question. To you, who is Spider-Man? For me, Tom Holland. Tom Holland. Tom Holland. Right, okay. So looking at my research, I'm going to say you were born in the 2000s.

Not even close, mate. You went for a 20-year window. When were you born, Matt? 1990. Okay, thank you for playing. I was way off. Now you were between 10 and 30 years off that time. Okay, that one was very far off.

Let's give you one more go. Let's give you one more go. Eloise, hi. Hi, how's it going? Good, thanks, Eloise. Simple question. To you, who is Spider-Man? The best Spider-Man is Andrew Garfield.

Right. Andrew Garfield. I'm going to say, I need to look at my research here. That means... ..you were born in 19... ..98. Oh, so close. Dammit! Give me one more.

Give me one more. No, give me one more. Are you sure you don't want to peak on Eloise You're one year off I've had two close ones James hi Hi James Oh g'day Yeah g'day

Come on James let's bring it home No before you bring it home James Do you have any faith in the pseudoscience Behind the Spider-Man game at all Do you think Bree's onto it at all Absolutely none at all. No, no. Okay.

Hey, I think I've done not too bad. No, it's okay. That means if you get it right, he's going to be really blown out of the water. Okay, all right. All right, James. To you, who is Spider-Man? Oh, it's got to be Toby.

Web! Up, up and away, Web! Right, Toby. Go! Go! Go, Web, go!, Webb. Right. Go. Go. Go, Webb, go. For James. Okay.

I'm going to say. Can I help? No. No. Please. No. No. Can I just urge you to do one thing?

No, no, no, no, no, no. Please. No, no, no, no. I've got this. 19, 80, 5. Lock it in. Yeah. Yeah.

No, you said yes. I was so ready to say no. Wait, did she get it correct, James? 25, yeah. It only took me four goes. Thank God we gave it another go then. Hey, end on a high. End on a high.

Spice Girls news out today, which is exciting. Looks like they are COVID permitting going to put the world tour back on track and for the 25-year anniversary go on an actual world tour outside of the UK. Was New Zealand on that list? Haven't announced yet. Okay. But I would say Australia would be at least. So short flight over there. Yeah, not too far. COVID permitting.

Yeah. Anyway, it's next year so that's all good. But already even though the tour details haven't been announced, Victoria Posh Spice Beckham has come out and said that she's not going to be a part of it. Oh, I'm shocked. She said in a statement. She never wants to do it.

No, she never wants to do it. No, she's got other things going on. Her team in a statement have said, Victoria will always be a Spice Girl and loves the girls very much, but due to other commitments, would not be able to go on tour with them. And you know what's wrong about that? They haven't even released the dates yet, and she's already said that she's busy. She's like, nah, busy on those dates.

But we didn't say the dates, Victoria. Nah, I'm busy. Yeah, but we didn't. When are you free? What dates are you free next year? Never. Right, okay. So she says in that statement she will always be a Spice Girl,

but now she's missed the reunion that happened last year. She's ridden herself out of the next reunion. I'm going to make a bold statement here. And you might hate me for this because you're a bigger Spice Girls fan than me. I'm a big Spice Girls fan. Is it time to replace Victoria as Posh Spice? You'll never replace her. Why not?

She doesn't want to be in the band. Why should her spot be there if she doesn't want to be in the band? You can substitute, but you can't replace. No, I'm saying maybe it's time for a new Posh Spice and we start again. And we go out. We start again. Yeah, we'll get back on the road, girls. You can't start again.

You say that. I've got some options for you. Okay. Okay, so we're looking for someone posh and someone who can do the job. Have you thought about Ellie Goulding as a new Posh Spice? Very posh. I love Ellie Goulding. And she's a better singer than Victoria Beckham.

Yeah, but she looks like baby, so I feel like they would clash. Okay, yeah, that's fine. Baby Spice. Posh Spice, new Posh Spice. What about someone as posh as you can get? What about the Queen? As a child, I never imagined that one day a man would walk on the moon. Yet this year we mark the 50th anniversary.

Listen to the energy in her. It was Apollo 11. Listen to her. She's got all her life in her. She does. She just keeps going. Plus she deserves a break. She's been cooped up in the house with Philip for all of COVID.

She needs to get out. She deserves a bit of a trap. I can't imagine the Queen singing Zic-a-Zic. Okay, the Queen's out. What about this person? They're not posh. They're just a Kiwi and I'd like them to get in there. What about Lorde as the new posh Spice?

We'll never be royals. Royals. Can you see it? Lorde couldn't be in Spice Girls. Why? Because she's so big on her own. You can't hide her. It doesn't get any bigger than the Spice Girls. I know, but she's already big enough solo.

True, and her dance moves aren't really on brand either. Yeah. Fine, okay, yeah, this is a working conversation she's at as well. What about New Zealand royalty and very posh as well, new posh Spice. She's also free at the moment. What about New Zealand royalty and very posh as well. New posh Spice. She's also free at the moment. What about Paula Bennett? Today I am announcing that I will not be standing at the next election.

Because I'm going on tour with the Spice Girls. An incredible time in politics for the past 15 years. But now it's time for me to go on tour with the girls. Zigga zigga. Paula Bennett? Yeah, I mean she could have the moves. I've seen her in here in the studio, you know, dancing around. Yeah.

Maybe. Actually, don't make your mind up just yet. Don't get set on that because there's one more option. Have you considered going for the role of Posh Spice in the Spice Girls? Before you say no, I've pre-prepared an audition for you. No! This is how you would sound as one of the Spice Girls. Before you say no, before you say no, I've pre-prepared an audition for you. This is how you would sound as one of the Spice Girls. It's not bad.

I forgot that we did that. And by not bad, I mean Posh couldn't sing either, so you'll fit right in. Sign me up. I'm going on tour with the girls. Right. Bree and Clint. It's my birthday. It's my birthday.

Bree and Clint's birthday banger. All right, we'll take three people's birthdays. We'll figure out what was number one on their 16th and then we'll pick the best one to play. Hi, Hayley. Hi, Hayley. Hi. How are you going? Not too bad, yourself?

Yeah, not too bad. Let's get a birthday banger for you. What's your birthday bang? What's your birthday? Not your birthday banger? You don't know that yet. 21st of the 12th, 94. Wait, so your birthday's on Christmas Day.

There you go. It's a good birthday banger. I love that song. Me too. When's the last time you had a birthday party on your birthday? Never.

She couldn't. No. Well, she could. You would need all your friends to agree that they were skipping Christmas for one year just to give you a birthday party. I normally celebrate a couple of days before. Hayley, can I say I feel your pain. My birthday is a couple

of days after New Year's and it sucks. Everyone's finished partying by then. And out of money as well. Okay, wait there Hayley. We'll do a birthday banger for Justin. Hi Justin. G'day Justin. G'day, g'day. Mate, what's your birthday? 24th of the 5th, 81. Hi, Justin. G'day, Justin. G'day, g'day. Mate, what's your birthday? 24th of the 5th, 81.

It wouldn't be fast in that age either when I had the long hair too. Yeah, right? Yes, Justin. Good, it takes a big man to admit that he loves a bit of him, Bob. I love it. Yeah, good. I love it too. Have you ever met those boys? Yeah, I have, yeah.

Yeah, they're lovely. I met them like later, later. I met them about four years ago, I think. Oh, must have been on the same tour. They did a tour, yeah. Yeah, yeah. They were so nice. Because I was obsessed with Hanson. Yeah, everyone think. Oh, it must have been on the same tour. They did a tour, yeah. Yeah, yeah. They were so nice. Because I was obsessed with Hanson.

What about you, Nicole? Yeah, still. What are your feelings about it, Nicole? Oh, I'm so okay with that. You're okay with it? Okay, good. Yeah, it makes me smile. Yeah, sweet.

You know what's weird is I met Psy around the same time I met Hanson. Did you? Yeah, he came into the radio station before it was going really ballistic. Oh, you met Psy before he was famous? No, he was already famous, but not to the point he got to. Okay, we need to play one of these for birthday bangers today. Oh, this is hard. Katy Perry's Firework, Hanson's Mbop or Psy's Gangnam Style?

I like Gangnam Style because it just lifts you up. Yeah, it does. We've just got that nature of it. But do you want to hear... I'm not saying I don't. I'm just saying do you want to hear the whole song as the issue? Yeah, I'd love to. And then I know you love Katy Perry.

I love that Katy Perry song. And we both love Hanson. And I love that Hanson song too. I'm going to go... I'm going to go Hanson'm going to go Handsome. My vote's for Handsome. Oh, I don't want to decide. I'm going to go Gangnam Style.

Okay, that's fine. We go over to producer Ben today for the deciding vote. Ben, we're at stale, mate. What is the winning song? G'day, mate. G'day, mate. You can pick any of the three. Yeah, I know.

I'm going to go Firework. Really? Yeah, I like Firework. No, I love that song. I haven't heard it for a while. It can pick any of the three. Yeah, I know. I'm going to go Firework. Really? Yeah, I like Firework. No, I love that song. I haven't heard it for a while. It's uplifting. Fair enough. And sometimes you feel like a plastic bag, don't you?

She was born on Christmas Day and she's won Birthday Banger. Hayley, congratulations. I love that song. About time you got something for you, mate. Do you ever feel like a plastic bag drifting through the wind wanting to start again? Do you ever feel they're so paper thin like a house of cards one blow from caving in? Do you ever feel already buried deep six feet under screens and no one seems to hear a thing? Do you know that there's still a chance for you? Cause there's a spark in you

You just gotta ignite the light And let it shine Just own the night Like the 4th of July Cause baby you're a firework Come on show em what you're worth Make em go ah ah ah As you shoot across the sky

Baby you're a firework Come on let your colors burst. Make them go ah, ah, ah. You're gonna leave them all in there.

Alright Poppy. You're up. Good luck. Okay. So you have a Tinder photo of your butt. What would impress you, Poppy? Abs? No, just like... Just your face.

I think they're like quirky. Yeah, right. But it's just like, I don't want to see your butt. No, fair enough. No, it's good. I like it. They do kind of have a good crack, though. It's a...

You're up. Take us home, Bree. Okay. So Clint Roberts is the biggest hog of this game ever. Very good. 100%. Oh, man. Yeah, the worst bit is if I'd gone last,

I had like three spares that I could have used as well. I didn't even have to. I didn't even have to use that one. You show off. I'm I didn't even have to. I didn't even have to use that one. You show off. I'm waiting on... Bree and Clint. Look, you would know this about me, Clint. I'm a massive animal lover.

Yes. I like pretty much nearly every animal on the planet. I love hippos. I love dolphins. I love crocs. I love snakes. I love spiders. I love bees.

I love them all. I'm like David Attenborough, but a female version. But there's one particular animal that freaks me out quite a lot, and that would be a bat. I just don't know what a bat. I just don't like it. It's because they... They sleep upside down.

Yeah, and also they've been given a bad rap in movies. Yeah, that's true. They're always vampires and bloodsuckers. And to be honest, 2020 hasn't done much for the reputation of bats either. No, it's made it even worse, hasn't it? Well, it's about to get that much worse because there's a story that is going viral about a giant bat. A giant bat?

A giant bat. I've seen pretty giant bats in Australia before. Just like chilling in downtown Sydney. So when you're talking... Because when I think bat, I think something the size of like a small, like in the movie Bats, something the size of a small bird like a budgie. Yeah, a small bird. In Sydney, I've seen ones with like eagle-sized wingspans.

Right. Just hanging upside down in palm trees and then it goes five o'clock and they go, ah, time to get out of here. Let me out. Well, what if I told you that this bat that has been photographed in the Philippines has a wingspan of up to 1.7 metres. Jeez Louise. They're calling it a human-sized bat.

See, that is a human-sized bat. You could be face-to-face with that bat and look it in the eyes. Anyway, do we have the picture there? I know it's visual for everyone else, but just to get Clint's reaction. It looks like a person upside down wearing a cape. It's crazy how big it is. Anyway, apparently these... Look at his face.

Is he a little bit cute? Ignore the wings. Ignore the wings and the bony arm-like things and the resemblance of like every Dracula you've ever seen. Look, just in his face and his little nose. Is he got a cute little snoot? No. Terrifying.

Terrifying. This bat is- What if we flip him up the right way? Even worse. Okay, yeah. It's apparently known as a large fruit eating bat native uh to asia and uh it can yeah grow grow very very big yeah um apparently they're vegetarian yeah they love their fruit they love to consume primarily fruit yeah um but this is my favorite part of this story

because there was a guy who commented on the bat who was local and he's like, oh, it's not a big deal. You know, we have some, you know, large bats in the area but they only grow up to like a medium to large-sized dog. Yeah, and again, another good reason why it's pretty nice living here in New Zealand. It is nice because one more fact about bats. You know if they poo on your car you need a new car. The paint rips off. Does it really? Yeah it happened to my car

bats shit on my car. Weddings are an unnecessarily tense occasion aren't they? Sometimes. They shouldn't be. They're meant to be love and happiness and most of the time they are Yeah, but they're not There's added pressure There's a lot of not of that Yeah, and I think it's because

The expectation is so high That it's going to be a perfect day, right? There's so much pressure on one day So it's just heightened, everything There's a story that's going viral at the moment Where people are looking at this photo Of a couple who have attended a wedding And asking Did they Oh they or actually did she show up and attempt to ruin the wedding with what she's

wearing now brie i'd like you to describe for people who can't see it what is this wedding guest wearing to the wedding um she's wearing like it's a tight red dress that's kind of if you've seen those dresses that are like see-through chiffon, like from, you know, the top of a, like mid-thigh down. And then at the top, it's kind of like a corset and looks a little bit see-through as well. For the men who don't know what chiffon is, I will say she looks like she's wearing red net curtains. It's like a dress slash lingerie. And it looks like she's wearing sexy lingerie on top to the wedding.

So people are saying that by wearing this, she has tried to... She's covered up, though. Yeah. It's not like she's got her stomach out and everything out. The sensitive parts are covered up. But people are saying that... And also, she looks fantastic. That's the other thing.

She looks great. She looks great. People are saying that she is stealing attention away from the bride. That on this day, all eyes should be on the bride. And by showing up to a wedding in a dress that looks like that, you are upstaging the bride. What do you think? I just think, I just don't think I'll ever be that type of person

that when I get married that I'll be like, oh, how dare they wear this. Right. Because it's not about that. Yeah. It's not about that. It's about the person that you're there saying that you'll love forever and, you know. Yeah.

So I don't think I'd ever really, like, let's say, for example, say I had a wedding. Yeah. Like my wedding. And that was one of my mates and she turned up like that. Yeah. I'd be like, yow turned up like that, I'd be like, yowza, looking good. I'd be like, who did the dance for? Oh, that's positive.

Yeah, I wouldn't really care. You wouldn't be like, oh, where's the other half of your outfit? If it was white, I'd probably be like, well, you could have worn something else. Like, you know, today's my day to wear white. But I just don't think I'd get that annoyed over it. What do you think? I think that it's tough for girls going to weddings.

It's really tough. Because no matter what you wear, you're going to get judged. And I wonder what would a man have to wear to a wedding to upstage the groom? I don't think there's anything. No. Like, could you? Because also, for guys, you go to a wedding, just put on a suit.

It's so hard as females sometimes. Like, if you've got, if a wedding, just put on a suit. It's so hard as females sometimes. Like if you've got – You can't look too nice, but you can't look too not nice either. Yeah, but then you also don't want to get a dress that you hate to keep everyone else happy and then you're never going to wear it again. Yeah, yeah, but you don't want to go too hard, but you don't want to undercook it. You guys buy one suit and you could wear that to four different weddings.

The guy that she's at the wedding with didn't even buy himself any socks. And to be honest, that's the real travesty here is the no socks. Yeah, anyway, you will see the picture floating around because it's doing the rounds. Anyway. Just be nice. You know, I honestly don't think that girl right there was like, I'm going to do this to ruin my friend's day.

Be nice and don't wear white. Don't wear white is the key. Don't wear white. All right, sweet.
