Third to last day on the show, so Ellie, you have to start the podcast today.
Alright, you've had enough training, you've been here long enough.
Start the thing.
You've heard me do it like probably 450 times.
Hello and welcome to the podcast.
It was good.
Is it?
Pretty good.
So lackluster.
I like it, it's casual, it's nice, yeah it's different.
Pretty good.
Thanks Brie.
If you're a few podcasts behind, Ellie's leaving the team.
This is her final week.
She's going to work for a group of content creators called Viva La Dirt.
I saw last night, Ellie, and I messaged you about this.
They posted the announcement, Brie, that Ellie's coming over to work for them.
When I saw it, the picture had had 52,000 likes.
Yeah, the page is followed by a couple of million people.
52,000.
I know.
So you're the social media manager.
This is what I want to check with you.
Yeah, I'm scared.
I was going to say, have you thought about the power that you're going to wield?
No, I am scared.
I'm terrified.
There's a lot of responsibility to this new role.
You're lucky you're a good speller because imagine 52,000 people going, it's there, not
there.
I know.
I know. That is a bad one. Don't's there, not there. I know.
I know.
I'm going to get rolled. That is a bad one.
Don't get that wrong.

Jeez.
Oh, Bree's playing hardball.
The world we live in, hey?
Hey?
The world we live in.
God, I sound like my mum.
Do you?
Yes.
I bloody do.
How is your mother?
Hey, can I just mention a really funny joke that I did before the Do you? Yes. My bloody dude. How is your mother? Hey, can I just mention
a really funny joke that I did
before the show today? Yes.
Did I hear it? You guys
all actually said to me
oh yeah, that's pretty good.
Here's where we find out if we're just being
polite.
We're going to really build this.
Oh no.
It's not a drum roll because I need to explain.
Okay.
We were talking about, you know, it was like a siren or something.
I can't remember.
Oh, yeah, I remember it.
Do you remember it?
Yeah.
And Clint was like, woo, woo, something like that.
And then we were talking about the Me Too movement.
And then I said, Me Too, me too, me too.
That's right.
Yeah.
That was good.
I remember that, yeah.
Yes.
I'm here for the rest of the week.
That was good.
Come on, that was pretty good.
Yeah, that was good.
Better than my arm-della gear.
No, that's good gear.
Oh, that's my personal favorite.
Oh, let's not relive all your shit jokes.
No, Ellie, let's relive one of yours and my favorite jokes.
No, I'm not here for this.
Nobody puts baby
in the coma!
It's just disrespectful.
That's not how you did the joke though.
No, we screwed it up.
So at the dinner you said
you guys said
I love people that
try and break down jokes.
No, I just want to be clear on what you said.
You need to be clear on what you said.
We were in an Indian restaurant, and Ben
was having a chicken korma,
and Bree goes,
and it was on the corner of the table,
and Bree goes,
no one puts the korma in the corner.
Because it was a
roll-on from the baby in the korma joke. Don't put a kormor in the corner. Because it was a roll-on. Yeah, and it was in the corner.
From the baby in the cormor joke.
Yeah.
Ellie got it.
Don't put a cormor in the corner.
I still got it.
I like it because you guys find it funny.
Yeah.
It brought us so much joy.
It did.
And it made it even funnier that Clint hated it.
Yeah.
It made it even funnier that we were like on day one, actually, of the Venute tour.
Yeah, we weren't far into it.
And we were already exhausted from driving this big heap of shit,
which was so physically hard to drive, by the way.
And by the end of that first day, we were knackered.
Fuck, we were tired.
And then we had to wait for the joke and my meal got cold
when I finally got to have my bloody meal.
Because we needed an Instagram story and stuff, you know?
Stop touching the corner!
Put it back in the corner! That's my meal! I want it!
Yeah, that's why
I had a saguala. There was no jokes to be
made about my dish. I was finished
before you even started. Wait, someone, Ellie, come up with a joke!
Is that the guy that sings the ABC
song?
It's a gala.
Technically, it's Michael Jackson who sings the ABC song.
Yeah, but you know what I mean.
Oh, isn't that good?
It is.
Thank you, Bree.
Nearly as good as last week on the podcast intro where you go,
Kate, it's right.
I'll give you that, Ali.
That was very quick. Thank you. That's give you that, Ali. That was very quick.
Thank you.
That's how I'll take it.
That's what it is.
That's game of my week.
Here's Saguara
and Easy Love.
Oh,
lucky I didn't have
a tikka masala.
Here's the podcast,
everybody.
Enjoy.
Hey, Google, what's the time?
It's 3 p.m.
Give or take a minute.
Alexa, play ZM on iHeartRadio.
Playing ZM on iHeartRadio.
Hey, Siri, when are Brie and Clint on?
Brie and Clint are on air in five, four, three, two, one.
Yeah, only just.
Just got here.
It is sad how much I'm puffing.
Can you try and say like a full sentence for me?
I was at the post office,
definitely not mailing my mum's Mother's Day present from a couple of months ago.
It was something completely unrelated.
And you think it's going to be like quick and easy,
but you have to write the addresses and all that stuff.
Do that before you go.
No, because I didn't have the bag.
Yeah, right.
To put it in.
Well, literally Bree's run into the studio while the news was playing.
Congrats, you've made it.
Thank you, mate.
No, I was here, but I was at work before that, though.
Were you?
I didn't see you.
Oh.
Don't make me look bad.
Isn't that your car still running outside the ZM Studios?
No, it was not.
I've been here.
You're getting towed.
I've been here since 12.
No, seriously, look, you're getting towed.
My car's not even here today.
Yeah, well done.
Today on the show, gosh, we've got a lot of fun to have, don't we?
Dean McCarthy's going to be on the show.
We have another Kiwi superstar who has made it big in the States on live TV.
This could be the second coming of Lorde.
What's happening right now?
It does feel a bit like that, doesn't it?
Yeah, it really does.
We love this person.
We're so excited for her.
She's got similar vibes.
Yeah, we'll play you her performance on Jimmy Fallon's show coming up very shortly
when Dean joins us from Hollywood.
But next we're going to talk about cups of tea.
You know what?
This is a subject that's really near and dear to me and I care a lot about it.
And I think this is a good platform to finally get some answers.
Also, perfect time of day for a cup of tea.
Isn't it?
So maybe you want to make yourself a cup of tea
and join us for this conversation next.
Don't forget the bickies.
Don't forget the bickies.
Lucky if you've got a bicky at your workplace at the moment.
I know.
But you might, and we'll go into cups of tea.
I'll be strapping, everyone.
Next.
Gear up.
Speaking of something that I don't believe is the real deal
is a clip of a mother and daughter over in the States, in America,
going absolutely viral at the moment
because they've put out a video of how they think
you correctly make a cup of hot tea.
Oh, bold call, America.
No, well, you know, Americans have tea too, I'm assuming.
It's not theirs, though.
No, it's British.
Yeah.
That's for sure.
And obviously, you know, Kiwis, Aussies,
we're descendants from the British.
I've just seen what they've done to coffee.
And they've ruined it.
Yeah.
If you've been to America, they don't do a good...
I don't think they do very many good hot drinks.
It feels like it's dirt strained through a piece of cloth.
That's what they call coffee.
Yeah.
It's very bizarre.
And we're not looking to start a war here. No, no.
We're right, they're wrong. You make
fantastic cold drinks. I've tried
Coca-Cola. It's delicious. Absolutely
delightful. But I don't know that you guys have
any leg to stand on in the hot drink category.
Well, I think even more so
once you hear the savagery
of this mum and daughter
as to how they think a cup
of hot tea is made. Take a listen.
So today we are going to make tea.
So fill our mug with water, put it in the microwave,
set it for a minute, pour the milk in, drop your tea bag in,
add the sugar, give it a little stir, and that's how you make hot tea.
Oh, wait a second.
What the?
There's so many things, so many questions that I have about that right there.
First thing, why are you microwaving the water?
Who does that?
You're just going to get a real hot cup and the water will be hot too,
but just boil a jug.
Yeah.
Next, why are you putting the milk in the water before the teabag?
Why is the teabag nearly the last thing to go in?
No one is doing that.
Can we go through it one more time?
Yeah, let's have a listen one more time.
There's something else I was triggered about here too.
Yeah, really take a hard listen at this.
So today we are going to make tea.
So fill our mug with water.
Put it in the microwave.
Set it for a minute.
Pour the milk in.
Drop your teabag in.
Add the sugar sugar give it a
little stir and that's how you make hot tea throw it against the wall and then lock yourself out of
your house that should be the final step of that what are you two up to honestly have they googled
that and have thought that is the way to do it no that is more offensive to me Than when I found out That some people put the milk in first
Milk, tea bag, hot water
No, no, no, no
What are you doing?
There is a specific way to make the best cup of tea
And that right there isn't it
Is there variation?
What is the best way to make a cup of tea?
Okay, let's go one for one
Okay, cool
So obviously you boil the jug
Boil the jug, I agree Let's go one for one. Okay, cool. So obviously you boil the jug. Boil the jug.
I agree.
Yep.
Tick.
Let's go with that.
Yep.
I believe you then get a mug, you put the teabag in the mug straight away.
Yep.
I agree.
Yep.
So you're pouring the hot water onto the teabag.
Exactly.
Yep.
I agree.
I also think if you have sugar in a tea, I mean, I have it sometimes with or without,
I think the sugar goes in with the teabag first
yeah I would agree with that too
because you want the hot water to melt
the sugar cubes
so you've got your tea and your sugar
in the cup of tea
once the jug is boiled
pour the hot water into the cup
have we not put the water in yet?
no not yet
so the water's in
the teabag is now you know brewing You've not put the water in yet? No, not yet. Oh, okay. Yeah, that's fine. Yeah, I'll agree with you on that. So the water's in.
The teabag is now, you know, seeping.
Brewing.
Brewing.
Let it brew.
None of this dip, dip out.
Let it brew.
Wait before you put the milk in.
Wait.
Wait.
Dip, dip as much and get it to the colour that you want,
which I believe is... Pound.
I like to pound the teabag with the spoon.
Pound the alarm, as Nicki Minaj says.
Yep, yep, yep.
That's right.
Once you've got the right colour of water for your tea,
teabag comes out.
Oh, okay.
I put my milk in.
You put your milk in with the teabag.
With the teabag in, yeah.
Okay, so this is where we take our separate ways.
But I mean not too different.
Finish your cup of tea.
Okay, so then usually when I take the teabag out,
couple of squeezes of the teabag.
With your fingers? No, usually
I get the teabag and I wrap it around
the spoon and get the top
of the teabag and squeeze it with the top of that.
Oh, wow. Fancy. I know. I'm
not here to mess around. Okay, yeah. Finish your cup of tea.
Teabag goes into the bin. Milk. Dash
of milk. Boom. Done. Okay, cool. And a stir.
And a stir. Yeah, cool. And a stir.
Yeah, cool.
We're basically the same.
We're basically the same. I'll put the milk in, then the tea bag will come out.
And if I am leaving the tea bag in because you've asked for that,
I will bring you a saucer so that you can remove the tea bag at some point.
Because I can't drink the tea right to the bottom.
No.
Because then it's way too strong by the end.
And to be honest, I feel like people who leave the tea bag in, it becomes bitter, doesn't
it?
Okay, we've spoken for five minutes about making a cup of tea.
Hey, I'm here for it.
What do you want to ask?
I want to ask people listening, 0800DIALZM, what is your perfect way that you think is
the correct way to make a cup of tea?
I want to get the producer's opinion on this next.
I want yours right now on 0800DIALZM or you can text us on 9696.
I'm living for this tea chat.
Sorry, just making a cup of tea here.
And I'm done.
There's a woman and her daughter over in America who is copying a lot online
because they're saying this is the right way to make a cup of tea.
So today we are going to make tea.
So fill our mug with water.
Put it in the microwave.
Set it for a minute.
Pour the milk in.
Drop your tea bag in.
Add the sugar.
Give it a little stir.
And that's how you make hot tea.
That's child abuse teaching your child how to make tea like that.
What are they up to?
They're going to go to school camp and they'll offer to make cups of tea for everyone
and they'll get bullied.
What were our concerns?
They put it in the microwave.
Microwaving it.
That they put the milk in.
Milk in the water with no teabag.
With no tea it is.
And then if you listen to it carefully, you can audibly hear them drop the teabag from a height.
The teabag goes plump.
And did they leave the teabag in?
They probably did.
Probably.
Forget them, though.
Let's figure out the perfect way to make the cup of tea
because what we're finding out is it's very personal.
It is very personal.
I've shared my way.
You've shared your way.
A lot of support for my way on the text machine,
which I appreciate that.
A lot of support for my way.
Which I mean your way.
And my own, from me.
Your way and my way is very similar until the end.
Someone called you a savage for pouring the milk in.
Before taking the teabag out?
Yeah.
All right.
Well, Cameron's here.
Hi, Cameron.
Hi, Cam.
Hey, how you going?
Make us a cup of tea, mate.
How does it go?
Well, first of all, it's boiling hot water.
Yep.
With your teabag, you've got to let that brew.
Take your teabag out, then put your sugar in.
Oh.
Then your milk. You can't put your sugar in. Oh. Then your milk.
You can't put your sugar in before your bag because you're already dropping the temp as
soon as you add that sugar.
The sugar's dropping the temp?
Yep.
So if you're putting sugar into boiling water.
Oh, you're like a scientist with this.
Yeah.
Are you, are you, um, have you got a degree?
Yeah.
No, I don't, but I'm in hardcore tea fans.
How many cups of tea a day are you making?
Oh, maybe two.
Yeah, that's enough.
You qualify?
Yep.
Yeah, you definitely can't be putting the sugar in
before you brew the teabag itself.
Interesting take on it.
Okay, thanks, Cameron.
Jono's here.
Hi, Jono.
G'day, Jono.
How's it going?
Good, thanks.
Are you a tea expert?
Oh, I'd like to think so.
Okay, make us a cuppa, mate.
All right, so boiling boiling water into a mug.
Yep.
Put the teabag in.
Then I'll give it a stir, let it brew.
Then squeeze the teabag out.
Add the sugar.
Give it a good stir so it creates like a funnel.
And then add the milk.
And then it's like self-stirred.
Oh, I like this.
So delicate.
Yours is like a Vortec-y bit for tea.
Exactly.
That sounds so scientific,
and I need it to have the vortex to spin the milk
all the way to the bottom of the cup.
Do you have a favourite brand of tea bag?
What are you purchasing at the supermarkets?
Just the easy, just Bell tea.
Bell tea.
Yeah, classic.
I don't mind the cheap bags.
Cheap bags, yeah.
I'm a PG Tips man myself. Oh, yeah? Yeah. I'll take anything, to be honest. Pam, hi. Hi mind the cheap bags. Cheap bags, yeah. I'm a PG Tips man myself.
Oh, yeah?
Yeah.
I'll take anything, to be honest.
Pam, hi.
Hi, good day.
Hi, Pam.
We'd love to hear how you're making a cup of tea.
Well, you never, ever, ever, ever squish a teabag.
You never squish a teabag?
You don't.
No.
Why not?
I want to get my money's worth, though, Pam.
Yeah, I want to get the real dark bits out.
Why are we not squishing a tea bag?
Because it releases all the tannin into the tea
And that's what makes it bitter
And that's why people add sugar
So you let it brew
Yeah
So you let it brew for your two to three minutes
But I'm a three to four minute kind of gal
I like mine to stroll
Yeah me too Pam
You can do a figure eight in your cup you know
To get the swirling going on To get as much tea out of it as you can.
A figure eight?
How big is your cup?
Sorry, no, carry on.
She drinks out of a bowl.
Finish the tea off for us.
Too much.
Well, see, I don't use sugar and I don't use milk.
Wow.
I think it takes the old flavour of your tea.
That's okay.
I think you're a purist and that's okay.
You can tell you're fancy
because you're like
legit above the rest
all of,
like all of our,
like, you know,
she's drinking like
the actual legit.
Yeah.
Can I ask you
an important question?
In that process,
we've obviously listened
to the TikTok video.
At what point do you put
your cup of tea
in the microwave?
Oh, God, never.
Bree and Clint
from iHeartRadio.
This is The Latest.
Live from LA with Dean McCarthy.
We could very well have another Lorde situation on our hands
where a Kiwi musician is blowing up in the States to tell us more.
Dean McCarthy, good afternoon.
Hello, Dean.
Oh, I can confirm.
Hi, guys.
You already have this.
This is a thing.
This is happening.
Benny performed on Jimmy Fallon, and it doesn't get any bigger of an audience or more of a cult-like following than when you perform on Jimmy Fallon.
He said that she is the breakout star of summer.
And go online and check it out because, you know, it was all done via like a video interview conference kind of thing.
You know, it's a little bit of a run-up, but it was just fabulous.
Benny killed it, and I can honestly
say, and I think, and from the word on the street
here in Hollywood, Benny is the next big thing
in LA. Loving it.
I saw his intro for her. He waxed
lyrical big time. He loves her. Here's a bit of
Jimmy Fallon talking about Benny.
Performing the summer breakout smash
hit. I love this song. Am I too old
to love this song? I might be.
I don't know. I love it. I love this song. I love her voice. I love the song. Am I too old to love this song? I might be. I don't know. I love it.
I love the song.
I love her voice.
I love the whole thing.
Super Lonely is the song.
It's the biggest.
It's all over TikTok.
So if you're on TikTok, you know this song.
Anyways, she's making her TV debut.
Benny with Gus Dapperton here is super lonely.
It sounds extra awkward because he's doing his show from his house at the moment.
Yeah, so there's no noise
in the background at all,
but I can tell he actually really likes it.
Benny also did a performance from Auckland
because she's not going to fly to America
at the moment, is she?
It looked awesome though.
Did you see it?
She put it together really well.
It was so cold.
Yeah, it was at Nilfin's Roundhead Studios.
Here's a little bit of her performance.
She's got some dogs in the video. I know it's tough, I'm just a loser Shouldn't be with ya Guess I'm a quitter
She's got some dogs in the video.
I mean, Clint, you and I could look back on this in a couple of years
when Benny's one of the biggest things in the world
and we'd go, remember that time we got her to sing that parody song
about hating gift cards?
Yeah, that's our celebrity, that's our name drop.
I know.
That's our name drop.
I can't wait.
Dean McCarthy, he's our Hollywood correspondent live out of Los Angeles.
The latest is thanks to Bumble, the social networking app where women make the first move.
Bree and Clint.
Prince Philip, the Queen's husband, today has turned 99 years old.
That's some good evenings, isn't it?
I know.
And can I say, he doesn't look a day over 143.
No, he really doesn't.
He doesn't.
I don't know how he does it, but he looks like a walking corpse.
Clinton.
He does.
He does.
He does look like a shriveled up old grape, doesn't he?
Hey, hey, hey, you show some respect.
You just called him a corpse.
Yeah, I didn't compare him to a grape though.
Too far, too far, Brie, too far.
Remember the time he crashed his car?
Yeah.
Poor thing.
He flipped a Range Rover.
How did he even do that?
That was last year, Brie.
Was it?
It was last year and he went, oh, probably better stop driving, eh?
How did he survive? He was 98 and he went, oh, probably better stop driving, eh? How did he survive?
He was 98 and he goes,
oh, I think I should stop driving.
He voluntarily gave up his driver's licence
and the police were like, yeah, good idea, bro.
Good idea.
How had they not taken it from him yet?
Because he's the Queen's husband.
Yeah.
So you can kind of do what you want.
Oh, special treatment.
I call special treatment.
Until you flip your Range Rover,
you can kind of do whatever you want. Anyway,. I call it special treatment. Until you flip your Range Rover, you can kind of do whatever you want.
Anyway, seeing as he's 99, happy birthday, Prince Philip,
born on the 10th of June, 1921 in Corfu.
God, he's seen a lot, hasn't he?
In Greece.
I love that he has literally seen all the World Wars.
No, not the first one.
World War II.
He's seen a lot of World Wars.
Well, not World. Vietnam he would have seen. Yeah, it wasn't there, but yeah. No, World War II. He's seen a lot of World Wars. Well, not World.
Vietnam he would have seen.
Yeah, it wasn't there, but yeah.
Yeah, but he would have seen it.
Yeah.
And he also saw, you know, the creation of the first iPod.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And also...
That was a milestone.
He said that at his birthday, actually.
He said, I was there at the first iPod.
And also, he saw the whole process of the internet from dial-up to Wi-Fi.
Can I play the game?
Can we play the... Can I just start the game?
Is that okay?
I guess so, yeah, yeah.
We're playing the Age Game.
Today to play the Age Game will be you, Bree, producer Ellie,
who's having her third to last day at ZM today before she leaves.
Don't talk about it.
And you, Courtney, you're going to play the Age Game with us as well.
Hi.
Hi, Court.
Hi.
Okay.
What's going to happen is I'm going to just say people,
and you each get one guess at their age,
and closest to the age takes the point.
Producer Ben, can you keep the score for me, please?
Okay, first person.
We've talked about Prince Philip.
What about his wife, Queen Elizabeth?
How old is Queen Elizabeth?
They're a couple years away from each other.
96-ish, 95, 96.
Get in there hard, Courtney.
What is it?
94.
What do you want, Courtney?
95 or 96?
95.
95, Ellie?
93.
93.
94.
And you want 94?
Queen Elizabeth is 96 years old, which means Courtney.
Damn it.
Nice point.
You're a bloodhound, girl.
Well done.
Okay, speaking of the Queen, how about the lead singer of Queen, Adam Lambert?
How old is Adam Lambert?
Oh, this is a...
30.

Nice.
Bree's got 36.

I was going to go 34.
34.
Adam Lambert is 38, which is a point to Bree.
Oh, nice. Yeah, well done, Bree. He looks good, doesn't he? 38, which is a point to Bree. Oh, nice.
Yeah, well done, Bree.
He looks good, doesn't he?
Yeah.
He's a tasty dish.
He does look good.
Okay, speaking of Adams, how old is Adam Levine?
Oh, I'm going to say he's 44.
44 for Courtney.
41.
41 for Bree.
42 for me.
42 for Ellie.
Adam Lambert is 41. Nice.. 41 for Bree. 42 for me. 42 for Ellie. Adam Lambert is 41.
Nice.
Two points to Bree.
Okay, there's five people in the game, by the way, so Bree, you can win the game here.
Okay.
I'm losing hard.
You can come back.
Speaking of Levines, how old is Avril Lavigne?
Avril Lavigne.
35.
35 for Courtney.
36. 36 for Bree. 34 for me. 34 for Ellie. Avril Lavigne 35 35 for Courtney 36
36 for Brie
34
34 for Ellie
Avril Lavigne is 35
Is that Courtney?
That's Courtney's point
There's a tie break between you guys
I forgot what I said
Welcome to tie break
I'll just sit out of this one
You've got no points
I mean you could ruin the game for them
I could actually
So I actually do need you to sit down
because I didn't come up with any more ages.
And I'll sit down.
It's just between you two.
I've done Avril Lavigne.
Speaking of skater boys, how old is Tony Hawk?
I'm going to say he's 48.
48 for Courtney.
I literally watched a video where he pulled off the first,
was it 900 last night.
It was awesome.
I'm going to say he's 50.
50?
Yeah.
And 48 for Courtney.
It's a game to breed because Tony Hawk is 52.
Woo!
Nice.
Well played, Courtney, though.
That was close.
Yeah.
Yeah, you fought hard.
Well done, mate.
Cheers.
Courtney's like, what am I doing?
That's the age game.
Bree and Clint.
Ready to have your mind blown.
Well, maybe, maybe not.
Yeah, yeah.
But mine definitely was last night when I was scrolling through Facebook
and one of my mates had this up as her status
and it was a fun fact that she'd learnt.
Don't know where she got it from, but when I read it,
I was kind of like, is that true or isn't it true?
So I figured we'd use our show to do a bit of a snap poll.
Okay, sure.
So this is what it said.
Fun fact, if you're right-handed, you chew your food on the right side of your mouth.
If you're left-handed, you will tend to chew your food on the left side.
Whoa.
And then I sat there.
Really?
And I thought about it and I was like, I'm right-handed.
I tend to chew my food on the right side of my mouth.
I feel like I've got a dominant side of my mouth and it's right hand.
And you're right-handed?
Yeah.
I need to eat something.
Yeah, me too.
I wish we had something to eat.
Oh, I've got a kick. No, we can't do it because you'll be thinking about it too much. I need to eat something. Yeah, me too. I wish we had something to eat. Oh, I've got a kick.
No, we can't do it because you'll be thinking about it too much.
Oh, yeah, true.
It's like we need to watch each other at some stage,
and I feel like that's true.
I'm going to say I feel like it's true.
You've got a dominant side of your mouth.
Producers, what do you think about that statement?
Yeah, that's full on.
Are you actually spaced out?
A little bit, but I get it because you are dominant on that side.
You seem conflicted.
I'm chewing on both sides.
But you don't have dominant teeth.
No.
What?
Do you know what I mean?
Yeah, I know.
When I think about my mouth, I don't think about, oh, that side's more trained than the
other side.
No, because you don't think about it until this point.
It's one of those things.
With your hands, you obviously have a dominant.
It's like your legs.
Do you have a dominant leg?
Yeah.
If you're a kicker, you do.
Oh, I tend to use both.
Oh, okay.
All right, Dan Carter.
What about you, Producer Ellie?
I think I chew on my right side, but I'm left-handed.
Yeah, see, left-handed.
Put yourself in the situation,
okay? You've just put yourself a
delicious Chicken McCheese burger on a
steamed bun, and you take the initial bite
with your front teeth. Now, where's your tongue
pushing that lump to? Where's it going?
To the right, I think, actually. I might debunk this,
sorry. It does say left-handed people
are a bit all over the shop, which, to be
honest, I find left-handed
people tend to be a bit ambidextrous.
It's true.
This is perfect for whoever created the fact.
They're like, if you don't agree, it's because you're weird.
No, it kind of did say that.
I feel like left-handed people can kind of be like,
you know, use kind of both fluidly.
No, that's true.
Ben, did you manage to reach a resolution?
No, I don't think it's right.
I think I chew on both sides.
Come in here and let me check your teeth.
No, I want to see which
ones are more used. It's fine
because I agree with you.
Which ones are more
chewed on? I agree with you, so we've got two
votes. Yes, it's true.
Or probably true. In two
votes, no bro. I don't think so.
We need a snap poll.
You're right, we need a snap poll.
Bree and Clint's Snap Poll. Yeah, I don't think so. We need a snap poll. You're right, we need a snap poll. I think that's what we need. Bree and Clint's snap poll.
Alright, 0800DIALZM
Do you think if you're right-handed
you tend to chew your food on the right
side of your mouth and so on and so forth?
We need your opinion.
0800DIALZM or you can text us
on 9696. The perfect way
to answer this is if you had something
in your mouth just as we answered the question.
Help us get to the bottom of it.
Bree and Clint.
Welcome back to the show where we debunk weird facts.
Or we prove them right.
Or we prove them right.
Either or.
Today's weird fact that we're looking into is if you're right-handed, you will chew your food on your right side.
But if you're left-handed, you will tend your food on your right side, but if you're left-handed, you will tend to chew your food
more so on your left side.
So you have a dominant side of your mouth that you chew your food on,
and it depends on if you're right or left-handed.
That's what they're saying.
I'd never thought about it.
I sort of think that it could be true, like you,
and both of our producers are a no,
which means we need to conduct a snap poll.
Bree and Clint's Snap Poll.
We've asked you guys, do you think true or false?
Start with Brayden.
Hi, Brayden.
Hi, Brayden.
Good afternoon.
How are you going?
Good.
How are you?
I'm great.
Thank you.
What are your thoughts on this fun fact, Brayden?
Well, I was a bit unsure.
And then while we were talking, I'm right-handed, by the way.
And while you guys were talking, I put some chewing gum in my mouth, and were talking, I'm right-handed, by the way, and while you guys were talking,
I put some chewing gum in my mouth, and it went straight to the right side.
There you go.
Okay, then you would have to say it's true.
I would say correct.
It's kind of true.
Okay, thank you, Brayden.
Thank you.
I appreciate it.
Nikki, hi.
Hi, Nikki.
Hi, guys.
How are you?
Good, thanks.
What are your thoughts, Nikki?
Do you think there's a dominant side of your mouth,
depending on which hand is your dominant?
Yeah, I think there is. I wouldn't have thought so to start with, but I had a tooth pulled out two weeks ago on my right side, and it forced me to chew on my left side, and it
just feels weird.
Oh, that is the perfect way to think about it.
That's amazing.
Yeah, I'm saying yes, it's true.
And you are obviously right-handed.
Yeah, definitely right-handed.
Wow.
God, you're like the perfect person to answer it.
Nick, kia ora, welcome to the show.
Hi, Nick.
How's it going, guys?
Good, thank you.
What do you think about this, Nick?
Well, I'll throw a bit of a spanner in the works for you.
No, I love it.
I'm right-handed.
Yeah.
But I eat with my left.
Hand?
I chew on my left.
Oh. Oh.
Okay.
So you think your dominant side of your mouth is your left?
Yes, but I eat with my left.
And you weren't forced to be right-handed by like a pack of old-school nuns at your school or anything like that?
Not that I'm aware of.
No, but wait.
Nick, did you just say, but you use your left hand mostly when you eat?
Only when I eat.
Oh, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay.
What we might be figuring out is the hand that puts it into your mouth
is the side of your body that you...
The dominant side of your mouth.
The side of your mouth that you...
No, no, no.
The one you cut with.
The one you cut with?
So he's saying...
Because it's the dominant one you're cutting.
So Nick's saying he cuts his food like a left-handed person,
but he's right-handed normally,
but his dominant side of his mouth is left.
Oh, my God.
Okay, Nick, you said it was a spanner.
I get it.
I got it.
And you've chucked it in, as long as you get it.
Joanne's here.
G'day, Joanne.
Hi, Joanne.
Hi.
Hi, guys.
How are you?
Good, thanks.
What's your opinion on this one, Joanne?
Okay, so spanner number two. I don't think it's thanks. What's your opinion on this one, Joanne? Okay, so spinner number two.
I don't think it's true because I'm right-handed for writing.
Okay.
I eat everywhere.
I just love food.
But I'm left-handed at everything else.
So I'll put my knife and my fork in like a left-handed would.
I wear my watch on my right side. So for all intents and purposes, I'm left-handed would, I wear my watch on my right side.
So for all intents and purposes,
I'm left-handed,
but I write with my right,
but I eat everywhere.
You're an anomaly.
You're an anomaly.
Yeah, I'm sorry.
I don't mean to make you feel like a scientific reject, Joanne.
No, she's special.
But you can't be part of the study
because you're too much of an anomaly.
You're like a four-leaf clover.
I'm actually just a pig.
You and me both, Joanne.
I relate.
Thank you, Joanne.
We appreciate it.
One more.
Eden, hi.
Hi.
Eden, can you settle this for us?
I think it's false.
I am right-handed and I chew on my left side so much
that I wore down my enamel and had my tooth pulled from it.
God, you love that left side, don't you?
I do.
It feels strange now because there's no tooth.
Can I ask, Aidan, because you said you're right-handed,
do you do anything with your left?
No, I'm very uncoordinated with it.
Okay.
So you would say that the fact is wrong?
Yep, definitely.
Okay.
There you go.
Well, you know, we've got to the bottom of absolutely nothing,
but it's been fun.
Yeah, we've learnt absolutely zero. Absolutely zero. But it was fun to got to the bottom of absolutely nothing, but it's been fun.
Yeah, we've learned absolutely zero.
Absolutely zero.
But it was fun to talk to everyone. It was fun.
And that's the main thing.
And I'm hungry too.
Me too.
Bree and Clint.
Oh, the cooking world was absolutely shocked yesterday with news that David Beckham was
maybe getting his own cooking show.
Right.
Can anyone get a cooking show these days?
Well, I mean, there's been a few, hasn't there?
But, I mean, David Beckham, one of the greatest football players ever,
in my opinion.
He did very well.
Yeah.
Can he cook?
That's the big question.
Can he cook?
I've never thought to myself,
I'd love to see David Beckham whip up a panini.
I've never thought to myself,
I'd love to eat a meal prepared by David Beckham. I have said, though, I'd love to eat a meal off David Beckham whip up a panini. I've never thought to myself, I'd love to eat a meal prepared by David Beckham.
I have said, though, I'd love to eat a meal off David Beckham.
Yeah, that's a different story.
I know his wife, Victoria, does a bit of cooking on her Instagram.
Does she?
Because my wife showed me.
And she goes, look, we've got the same pan as Victoria Beckham.
And I said, that's very nice, honey.
God, you guys are fancy.
I know.
It might be the fanciest thing we own.
What type of pan?
A silver one.
You don't know.
You've never used it.
The silver one that's got, doesn't have a long handle,
but it's got the two handle handles on either side.
Oh, yeah.
You could do a paella in it.
Oh, yeah.
That'd be lovely.
Yeah, that's all I know.
Sorry.
Please don't ask me any more pan questions.
Okay, I'll move away from the pan.
But I said to you yesterday,
I believe I came up with the perfect name for David Beckham's cooking show.
Yeah, what was it again?
Boil It With Beckham.
I mean, you can't get more catchy than that.
Shouldn't it be Boil It Like Beckham?
Well, he's doing the cooking, so you want to cook with him.
Yeah, yeah, but the movie was Bend It Like Beckham.
Why are you dragging my eyes?
No, actually, no, I'm right.
You're right. It's Boil It With Beckham. You're right.
Sorry. That's the name of the show.
Either or.
It's not what's important here.
No, it is important.
If that is the name of the show, then you're
entitled to a cut. So it is important.
Do you reckon I would be? Well, if you can get it on
record that you said it before he named it,
then yeah. Which is why I think you should hedge your bets and do both.
Okay, I'm hedging my bets.
Boil it with Beckham or boil it like Beckham.
You heard it here first.
There you go.
Yeah.
Yeah, bank that.
Copyright.
Copyright.
Copyright.
Bree and Clint.
Yeah, Bree.
Okay.
I did the other one.
Okay, well, fair enough.
I mean, you didn't do much.
All right.
You changed my mind.
Fine.
Yeah, fine.
I'll give you a bit.
I was thinking, you know, these are all just rumours and stuff
and there was also rumours that he got some tips
from his good mate Gordon Ramsay.
Yeah.
Which obviously he's...
I did read that.
That's a real fact.
It's actually a real fact.
Yeah.
Which would be very interesting to hear that conversation go down.
And I thought, you know,
I'd love to hear what this TV show is going to sound like,
but I couldn't find it anywhere on the internet.
So we've made our own version.
Right.
And I believe this is what David Beckham's cooking show,
Boil It With Beckham, will sound like.
Last week on Boil It With Beckham,
things in the kitchen got a little bit hated.
I'm standing here with soccer superstar and the second most competitive Brit on the planet,
David Beckham.
It's time for the ultimate challenge.
I'm married to a spice girl.
I already know my spices.
Trust me, too many headers has scrambled his brain.
Why don't you stick to what you know best?
Being a celebrity.
Pay the man's respect and tell the truth.
You have deep fried those potatoes.
This was one time where I needed to be stubborn
and know exactly that this was going to happen.
They are wrinkled, dehydrated,
and they have been in the deep fat fryer.
I knew that if we got this right,
that we would create something special.
You know the oven's not even hot enough to roast a potato.
We can't even cook a f***ing burger in there.
I, yeah, I'm... Tell the f***ing truth.
Yeah, there was difficult times, but...
Ah, f*** me!
S***, take control!
There you have it.
Boil It with Beckham.
I'll be tuning in.
Is that not the actual show?
Doesn't it sound legit?
Producer Ben and I cooked that up, so to speak. Boiled it up.
Boiled it up and I think
that could be the actual promo for the show.
The problem is, the show
now needs to be as good if not
better than that. Because if it's not, people will go
I don't want that. I want the one that Brie came up
with. Gordon Ramsay, David Beckham
going head to head in the kitchen. That's a Brie
and Clint exclusive everybody. There it is.
Boil it with Beckham coming soon to your TV screens.
I'm in.
I'm in too.
Kia ora.

Just when you thought that 2020,
and America in particular,
couldn't get any more bizarre,
hold on to your hats, New Zealand,
because there is a new presidential candidate
entering the race.
Is it a squirrel?
No, not a squirrel.
But at this stage,
I wouldn't be surprised if a squirrel
pulls off a come from behind victory
and snatches it
at the very last minute. He's got a really good policy
on nuts. Yeah, I mean he's got
a huge approval rating when you compare
him to the actual president as well.
They're the same colour. Squirrel 2020.
No, no, no. So at the moment
the presidential race is decided
that it will be Trump versus Joe Biden,
former Vice President Joe Biden.
Yes, and that's the only people that you can vote for?
That's the only people you can vote for.
However, there is a poll being done
to find the third preferred candidate.
So this is the person who, after those two...
Would be next in line.
Would be next in line, according to the American public. Okay. And the person who after those two would be next in line according to the American public
and that person is this man.
Dwayne the Rock Hard Rock Johnson.
He is a very likeable man.
Incredibly likeable.
I get that.
He's lovely.
He's America's big, muscly sweetheart, isn't he?
It'd be like the time when Arnold Schwarzenegger ran for...
Governor of California.
Governor of California.
The governor.
Yeah.
I've got a question.
Do you think Americans realise that they can have a president who wasn't on TV?
Yeah, I think they might have become confused.
Yeah. Like someone that's
actually has a career in
politics. Yeah, do you guys
know that you can vote for someone who has
a background in representing communities
and I don't know. Because
everyone also took this guy seriously, remember?
You probably could have guessed by
this moment, I have
decided in 2020
to run for president. Well, where are you Kanye? It's 2020. We're here. 2020. I have decided in 2020 to run for president.
Well, where are you, Kanye? It's 2020.
We're here. 2020. Should have said
2025. The Rock one,
he hasn't put his hand up for
president, but he has put out a
video that has made people go, you're the
person we need right now. This is a video posted
on The Rock's social media over the
weekend. Where are you? Where
is our leader? Where are you? Where is our leader?
Where are you?
Where is our leader at this time?
At this time when our country is down on its knees,
begging, pleading, hurt, angry, frustrated, in pain,
begging and pleading with its arms out,
just wanting to be heard,
begging and pleading and praying for change.
Can you imagine that man in the White House?
I can.
You can, eh?
Yeah, I love him.
He is presidential.
That's the reason I want him.
He's inspiring.
Yeah.
So if The Rock can be president, who else could be president?
Because he can't enter the race yet.
He might be able to next time.
But who else?
Who's another good candidate for the American presidency?
Have you had any thoughts?
I mean, I can think of a few people I'd love to see.
Oprah's a good option.
In the spot.
Love Oprah.
She'd be great.
Oprah unites people.
Michelle Obama's awesome.
Michelle Obama's a great option.
She doesn't want to do it.
I mean, RuPaul.
RuPaul.
From RuPaul's Drag Race.
I'd love to see him get in. RuPaul is iconic. Iconic. And probably
the type of president we need at the moment. Yep.
Miley, I feel, has a uniting effect on people. Yes.
Because she's a little bit country, a little bit rock and roll. She's a little bit of everything.
You know, she's a little bit, yep. What about Betty White?
Yep. Who doesn't love bit, yeah. What about Betty White? Yeah.
Who doesn't love
Betty White? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
She's great. It's just one of the
criticisms of Trump is he's so old.
Right.
Right, I see what you're saying.
But I mean, at this stage,
at this stage, we have a orange
cheesel running the Americas.
So we'll take whatever we can get.
Worst comes to worst.
What about Jason Statham?
I know he's not American. He's not American.
But damn is he attractive.
And he does all his own
stunts. How good would it
be to have a president doing all your own stunts?
Again, you don't necessarily need to do stunts as
a president. If you're doing the job correctly, there's not much call for stunts.
That is a good point you've brought up, Clint.
Anyway, it makes you happy to be a Kiwi.
Bree and Clint.
Time for Nickname Origins.
Nick, Nick, Nick, Nick, Nick, Nick, Nick.
Nickname Origins.
We've really got to re-voice that.
Yeah, I know.
Let's get Ellie to sing it before she leaves.
Oh, yeah, good idea.
She's a good singer.
You ring up, tell us your nickname.
We guess how you got it.
And then the best nickname origin story wins free mobile fuel.
Pretty simple.
Who's up first?
Tim's here.
Hi, Tim.
G'day, Tim.
G'day.
How are you?
Good, thanks.
Tim, what's your nickname?
Samantha.
Samantha.
Samantha.
I love that.
I got it.
I already got it.
His favourite character on Sex and the City
Was Samantha
Carrie
Oh
Samantha
Was my second guess
And Tim was like
Hi
I'm Samantha
I'm thinking about
Samantha's characteristics
She loves
Like a martini
Or a Cosmo
Is she a Cosmo drinker
Or something
Yeah they all are
They're all big booze hags
Right
Yeah
I think Tim loves...
Ladies.
Ladies.
No, I think what would normally be characterised,
not by me because I'm white.
Oh, loves a cocktail.
A ladies drink, yeah.
Ooh.
Samantha, is that anywhere near why they call you Samantha?
Absolutely not.
What is it, Samantha?
My mum, or my ex-girlfriend
Was called Samantha
And my mum didn't see eye to eye
Out of spite, she calls me Samantha
So I never forget
Oh my god, that's hectic
Samantha's a great couple name for you guys
Yeah, Samantha, but obviously they're not together anymore
It didn't work out
What a horrific reminder your mum loves to drop in every time she sees you
Yeah, it was good for a couple of months
I suppose. Yeah, I bet. Okay, wait there
Amanda, let's talk to Erin. Hey Erin. Hi Erin.
Hi, how are you? Good, thank you
Erin. What's your nickname?
Legs. Legs.
Oh, she's got legs for days.
Long legs. She's got legs.
Long, luscious legs. And she knows
how to use them. Surely that's
what, if someone's calling you legs.
Or.
She likes to leg it at a party.
Yeah, maybe she's really good at ghosting.
No, it has to be that she's got long legs or she's tall, yeah.
Yeah, I want it to be something more exciting than that.
But Erin, do they call you legs because you've got a decent set of pins on you?
That's right.
I knew it.
Like, Erin, how tall are you?
I'm 6'1".
Yeah, nice.
Oh, yeah, nice and tall.
Okay, sometimes the most simple answer is the right one.
Hannah is the last nickname this afternoon.
Hi, Hannah.
Hi.
Hannah.
Hannah.
Hello.
There she is.
Hannah, tell us your nickname.
So one of my nicknames is Kellogg's.
Kellogg's.
Okay, let's think about, oh, she loves corn.
She loves corn flakes.
Or Special K, Kellogg's Special K.
Yeah.
Hannah.
She never remembers eating corn.
She never remembers eating.
Which none of us ever do.
And you're like, I don't, oh.
I don't remember eating corn.
You're stuck on the corn thing.
Kellogg's cereal.
She loves cereal.
Cereal, she's a breakfast person.
Kellogg's Special K, Kellogg's Crunchy Nut Corn Flakes.
I don't think it's specific.
I think she just is obsessed with cereal.
Okay, Hannah, are you obsessed with cereal and that's why they call you Kellogg's?
Not quite.
My ex-boyfriend used to say to me that I was just right,
so he'd call me Kellogg's.
Oh, we would have got there.
We would have been in the next cereal that I said.
Really close, yeah.
Yeah, we were so close.
You said ex-boyfriend.
Was he just wrong?
Completely.
He was not quite right.
Okay, wait there. We've got to choose between Samantha, Legs and Kellogg's. He was not quite right. Okay, wait there.
We've got to choose between
Samantha, Legs and Kellogg's.
I think Samantha wins it.
I think Samantha's got it.
Samantha, congratulations.
We've got some free mobile fuel for you.
You've won Nickname Origins.
Oh, perfect.
Thank you.
Yay!
And you don't have to be reminded
of the horrific breakup ever again
until you see your mum next.
Brie and Clint.
Got an incredibly interesting message as a DM on my Instagram last night.
You and me, Brie, were out for a drink and I showed you in the Uber on the way home.
And we've got to talk about this.
We have to talk about this.
It's quite fascinating to me, actually, because I have never experienced anything like it.
You haven't either.
No.
But it's a glimpse inside someone else's relationship
that you don't often get.
Yeah, because it's private.
Yeah.
A few weeks ago we talked about couples who waited a really long time
to use the L word.
And other couples who in their whole relationship sometimes years
and years never said it at all.
Yeah, we talked to couples who it ended up breaking them up.
Yeah.
The girl said, if you're not going to commit to me
and at least tell me that you love me, then I'm going to move on.
Been with you for six years.
Anyway, I got this message from this person who I won't name
because this is their life and they've shared something personal.
I'll just read it to you.
Hey, Clint, I just listened to your May 25th podcast
about couples who have gone ages without saying I love you.
I've been with my husband for seven and a half years now and we have never had relations. Yeah, those relations,
the relations that married couples have and unmarried couples and people who casually
meet each other at bars. I've been with my partner, my husband, for seven and a half years
and we've never done that thing.
We've tried, but it just doesn't work.
I hope it won't be the end of our relationship.
I wonder if any of your listeners are going through the same thing
and can offer some advice.
Thanks.
And then they signed off with their name.
Yeah, see, this is where it's really cool that we have a platform
where we might be able to shed some light for that person
because it's such a personal thing.
Like you wouldn't really talk to many people about that.
Personally, I can't.
I haven't been in a relationship where –
every relationship has its ups and downs and its times when it's happening a lot
and its times where it might not be happening at all.
But for you guys to have never done it.
That's quite interesting.
I replied to them, I messaged them back and I said, this is fascinating.
Did you intentionally wait until marriage before you even tried it?
And then something after they got married, they realised something didn't quite work.
That's the part where I'm quite confused and it's hard to comment because she said that
it just doesn't work.
That's the bit that I, yeah, they said we've tried and it just doesn't work.
The bit that doesn't work.
It could be something medical.
It could be something, I don't know.
Mechanical.
Mechanical.
It could be something, you know.
It could be something emotional.
It could be, yeah.
There's so many things that it could be and we're not going to delve into the ins and
outs of why, but I would be so interested to know if there's anyone out there listening now
who has been in a long-term relationship and that thing just wasn't part of it
or isn't part of it.
And it could be for whatever reason.
Yeah.
It doesn't have to be for the same reason as this person.
Or it could be because you're waiting to get married.
It could be because you're waiting to get married. Could be because you're waiting to get married.
That's incredibly common.
I'd be interested to talk to
people who have been waiting to get married
for quite a long time. Yeah, like how long?
Like years. You guys have been
together for years and you're still not married so you still haven't
done the thing. I believe Jay Biebs
and Hayley Biebs
hurried up the wedding. For that very reason.
Yeah.
And it's very common toried up the wedding. For that very reason. Yeah. Yeah.
And it's very common
to hurry up the wedding
for that reason
if that's what you believe.
If that's the way
you want to go about it.
If you're sure, you're sure.
I'm a try before you buy man
but that's just me.
Me too.
I think the longest
I've ever waited
when I was dating someone
was 12 weeks.
Oh yeah.
That's a fairly long time.
Yeah.
What, three months?
Yeah, were you like
chewing your face off
by that? So you're like, come on. What am three months? Yeah, were you like chewing your face off by that?
So you're like, come on.
What am I doing here?
Get these stupid pants off me.
Specifically, you haven't done it at all is what we would like to talk about.
Ever.
Not people who aren't doing it currently.
You guys in your relationship.
Yeah, no dry spells.
Not that.
No, we want to talk to people specifically who have never done it in their long-term relationship. Yeah.
It is personal and we
appreciate if you do want to talk to us so we can keep you
anonymous if you would like that. You can also text
us on 9696 if you want to
share your story with us. Yeah.
Everything will remain anonymous.
Bree and Clint. I got a
DM to my Instagram overnight from someone
who listens to our podcast and they said,
Hey Clint, I listened to your guy's podcast the other week
about couples who take a long time to say I love you.
My husband and I have been together for seven and a half years
and we have never had the relations.
We've tried, but it just doesn't seem to work.
I hope it won't be the end of our relationship.
I wonder if any of your listeners are going through the same thing
and can offer advice.
Thanks.
And we've asked, is there anyone out there listening
who is in this situation?
Are you in a long-term relationship and you guys have never done the thing?
It's just something that hasn't happened.
It could be for whatever reason it is.
I just want to – there's a lot of texts coming through about asexuality.
Yeah.
And I just want to cover this.
Asexuality is a very real thing.
People,
those people are valid.
Yeah, yeah.
And,
you know,
we are kind of,
we're not talking about that exactly.
I don't think we're talking about that
because this person has asked for some advice.
Yeah.
So they've said,
we've tried.
It's just not working.
It didn't work.
I don't want it to be
the end of our relationship.
So I hear the asexuality thing.
The asexuality,
like very valid.
But this is maybe
a little bit different conversation,
but we hear you.
Yeah.
And we want to be obviously sensitive
to those people as well.
For sure.
Yeah.
Also understand that
it is a complex conversation
with things like traumatic events in people's past.
Absolutely.
So we're not delving into any of that side of it and absolutely recognising that side of it.
Yeah.
But interested in your stories.
Hannah is here.
Hi, Hannah.
Hi, Hannah.
Hiya.
How are you guys going?
Not too bad.
How are you?
I'm well, thank you.
That's good.
What's the situation happening in your world at the moment?
So me and my husband have been married for four and a half years,
but before we got married, we were dating for two and a half.
And it was like part of our religion and belief system
that we waited for two and a half years, you know,
before we did it, before we were married, you know.
Totally.
And, yeah, so, I mean, it was really hard.
The willpower. I don't know how, I mean, it was really hard. The willpower.
I don't know how you could have done it personally,
but amazing willpower.
Do you guys, I don't know if it's part of your religion or not,
but do you guys drink alcohol?
Yes, we do.
So I can imagine that on some of the... Well, that makes it even harder.
I know, that's what I'm saying.
There'll be some real weak moments there, right,
where you'd have to go, no, no, no, no, no, we're waiting.
We make me drink less.
We're waiting.
Well, he gets a bit excited when we have a drink now.
That's all good to go now. Because you are married now, right? Yeah, yeah, I've been married
four and a half years. So you waited two and a half years, got married, and then you guys did it, yes?
Yeah, well, we did, but we kind of,
you know, you expect, oh my gosh, you've been waiting two and a half years, like, you guys are going to
be hunnets, like, as soon as you get to the hotel after the wedding.
You've got to ease into it, though, don't you, Hannah?
Is that what you guys did?
Yeah, that's what we did do.
Like, I ended up being quite nervous on the wedding night.
A lot of build-ups, isn't there?
It was a lot of build-up.
And, you know, two and a half years, and it's kind of this whole time as well,
we've been kind of being like you know you
get so far and then you'd be like oh no we need to stop you know we need to wait and so when it
finally came that moment it was like oh actually that's kind of a psychological hurdle we've got
to get over yeah and you know my time was really lovely yeah like we had a shower together and we
just kind of just took it slow and then it wasn't until the next morning that we actually, you know, did the deed.
Did the deed. Oh, you got the next morning. Oh, well, the next
morning's pretty soon. I thought we were going to say like a couple of months later.
Yeah. Also, Hannah, as someone who
has had a wedding, God, you're bloody exhausted
at the end of the wedding day. So tired.
It's such a big day and if you had to
get ready to do that for the very first time.
Lots of pressure on that night already, isn't it?
Yeah. Fascinating input, Anna. Thank you for
sharing it with us. Yeah, thanks so much.
Sure, yeah.
I really hope this girl gets some help.
It sounds like they've, you know,
obviously seven and a half years,
whether you're having sex or not,
it's such a big party relationship,
but they've obviously got other ways
that they're intimate.
Yeah, of course.
It's not everything.
Yeah.
It's not everything.
There'll be a foundation there
in the relationship
for them to have been together that long.
Thank you, Hannah.
This person wants to remain anonymous.
Anonymous, good afternoon.
Hello.
Welcome to the show.
Hi, is that me?
Yeah, that's you.
Yeah, that's you.
Anonymous, tell us your story.
What have you got going on?
I am a Christian,
so me and my partner decided we wanted to wait,
and it's been seven months,
or eight months actually so far.
And counting anonymous.
Yeah.
And how's that going for you?
I'm not going to lie,
like it's not the easiest thing all the time,
but if it's something you believe in
and something you want to do,
then that's kind of the motivation.
Do you ever have moments though,
anonymous where you're like,
oh my God,
this is like the biggest,
like, you know,
obviously,
is it ever, what I'm asking is, is it ever biggest, like, you know, obviously, is it ever,
what I'm asking is, is it ever kind of like, you know,
a strain on your relationship at all or not at all?
No, I don't think it's a strain on the relationship
because it's something we both equally want to do.
Yeah, that's true.
But sometimes, you know, it can be like, oh, you know.
Yeah, you tend to just head to the courthouse
and do like a shotgun wedding situation.
Just ring up the priest and go, meet me at the town centre right now.
We are doing this thing.
For some people, it could be like a reason that they would rush getting married if that was their belief.
But you want to make sure that that's the right person.
Are you engaged?
Are you engaged to this person you've been with for seven months?
No, I'm not.
How old are you?
Can we ask that?
Or you don't have to answer that if you don't want to.
I'm fairly young. I was going to say you sound fairly young that or you don't have to answer that if you don't want to? I'm fairly young. Yeah, so I was going to say
you sound fairly young so you don't want to rush
something like that. No, not at all.
Thanks for being honest with us Anonymous. We appreciate it.
Yeah, thank you. That's okay. Thanks for having me.
There's both fascinating
perspectives. It doesn't answer this person's
question because there's no religious
side of this message that we've got.
Just a person who is in a relationship
in a marriage for seven and a half years
where they've never done that thing.
And she's obviously, you know,
my heart goes out to her
because she's obviously struggling a little bit
because she's reaching out.
And I think, you know,
maybe us talking about this,
you know, she's not alone.
There's a lot of texts on the text machine
and I'd love to send her some of them
if that might help her.
Yeah, we can do that too.
That would be lovely.
But I hope she finds what she's looking for.
Isn't it interesting?
You have no idea what is going on inside other people's relationships.
It's crazy.
You've got absolutely no idea on the surface.
So yeah, thank you everybody.
Bree and Clint.
It's my birthday.
It's my birthday.
Bree and Clint's Birthday Banger.
All right, let's get a birthday banger for a Wednesday.

Yeah, it's a classic.
I can't say it's my favourite, but it is a classic.
I don't mind it.
Do they have another hit?
No.
I think that's one hit.
My daughter likes it.
She likes it.
She likes it, yeah, cool.
It's a fun song.
Such a fun song.
It's very Now That's What I Call Music Volume 1, but you know.
Okay, wait there, Nige.
Wait there.
LaRue, Jenny from the Block.
I like them all.
Bahamian.

Bree and Clint, it's in him.
We've been there, done that, messed around.
I'm having fun, don't put me down.
I'll never let you sweep me off my feet.
I won't let you in again.
The messages I've tried to send, My information's just not going in.
Burning bridges shore to shore.
I break away from something more.
I'm not turned on to love until it's cheap.
Been there, done that, messed around.
I'm having fun, don't put me down.
I'll never let you sweep me off my feet.
This time, baby,
I'll be
bulletproof.
This time, baby,
I'll be
bulletproof.
I won't let you turn around and tell me now I'm much too proud to walk away from something when it's dead
Do, do, do your dirty words come out to play when you are hurt
There's certain things that should be left unsaid
Tick, tick, tick, tick on the watch And the light's too short for me to stop
Oh baby, your time is running out
I won't let you turn around
And tell me now I'm much too proud
All you do is fill me up without
This time baby

This time, baby, I'll be in the room
ZDM, Bree and Clint, you're right, it is still good.
Still good.
LaRue, that's our birthday banger for Adam today.
Here's a tip.
Really good karaoke song.
That one?
Yeah, for someone who can sing kind of.
I had a few mates who used to do that karaoke song.
Right.
And they were very good.
Right, okay.
It's the non-singers song.
Maybe I'll pick it for Fridayoke.
Apologies to the hardcore Baja Men fan, by the way.
I know.
Fandom, who have texted us in to say,
excuse me, they had two hits.
Hey, yeah.
Just for me.
And we can kick it like this.
Oh, yeah.
How could we forget?
You're going to recognise this.
Are you ready?
Yeah.
Oh, man.
I can move it like this. I can shake it like that. Are you ready? Yeah. Oh, man.
Arguably, this might have been bigger than Who Let the Dogs Out. No, it was not.
Really?
On one, if you think that.
Maybe I've been to too many Crusaders games.
I feel like they play this at every single Crusaders game.
I think yeah
your judgement is swayed
yeah right
okay
no definitely
definitely
nah I'm right
this is better than
who let the dogs out
you're like
what if this might be bigger
than who let the dogs out
probably
shut up
no but when you hear it now
are you like
why did I say that
I agree
I stand by it.
This is a banger.
See, this is how I like this bit.
Can you move it like this?
I can shake it like that.
Can you move it like this?
I can shake it like that.
Bree and Clint.
This might affect a lot of people listening.
I am guilty of this.
I believe, Clint, you were guilty at some point in your life
in the past I stopped doing this a long time ago
me too probably for the last couple
of years because I did hear
some things that can go wrong
but I'm sure we've all done it
in the past I may have done it
we all have we all thought we've been funny
but there is a bank over in Aussie
that is now making the decision
to suspend customers over something we probably have all done.
Mm-hmm.
The Commonwealth Bank of Australia audited over 8,000 customers
and found that there were several low-value transactions
with offensive captions.
You know what we're talking about.
No, I know.
You need to describe it.
When you say an offensive caption, so say I transfer you, I don't know,
$20.
Yeah.
What's an offensive caption that the Commonwealth Bank deems suspendable?
There is a lot of different ones, and we've asked you to text them through stuff that you guys listening have used to transfer your friend's money at times where you think you're funny.
And you put something lighthearted or a joke to give them a giggle.
So how are we going to get around this?
Because some of the ones on the text machine are so filthy.
And to be honest, I'm also guilty.
Yeah.
We're talking.
You're in charge, Matt.
You're the one who has to get around that.
Oh, no.
Here we go.
Are you just going to leave me?
Well, you've got the list in front of you.
This is your information.
You've got the list as well.
But okay.
Give me the beep.
If you want the beep.
Ben, give me the beep.
Ben.
Do we have the beep?
Ben, give me the beep, please.
I can get around a few of them.
Some people said that, you know, when they transfer their friends' money,
they put captions like adult.
Services?
Toys.
Oh, okay.
Names.
Oh.
I hadn't thought about that one.
Yeah.
Like imagine if I transferred you some money with the caption
Satisfy Our Pro 2.
Yeah, exactly.
The rabbit.
A lot of people using those references.
A lot of people talking about indoor gardening.
They're using that reference when they're transferring their money,
$20 for the dinner they had the night before.
God, I hope you're paying more than $20 for that.
A lot of people using something that rhymes with booker.
Again, I think that costs more than 20 bucks.
Yeah, but I mean.
Guess depends where you booker.
Oh, God.
Some people are saying bum stuff is something that they write.
Okay, all these things that you've said, none of them are illegal.
So are the Commonwealth Bank suspending you for those things?
Because none of those things are illegal.
Are you sure?
No, the one that rhymes with Booker is not illegal.
Bum stuff is not illegal.
There's a lot of references to drugs.
Yeah, there it is.
A lot.
Yeah, that's what I would think it would be.
Most people, they're saying, you know, cocaine or strippers,
and that's what they're putting in.
Again, strippers are not illegal.
Not illegal, but it's teamed with someone takes it through.
I always put cocaine in strippers.
Yeah, that'll do it.
You're not getting approved for a home alone.
Just so you know, although very funny, might land you in hot water.
Bree and Clint.
Have you ever heard of celebrities insuring different parts of their bodies
for crazy amounts of money?
Yeah, I have heard these stories before.
There's a list out today on the New Zealand Herald of some very famous people
and exactly how much they've insured their assets for.
Ooh, I'll see what you did there.
Yeah, right.
And, I mean, I'm fascinated to know how they got these figures as well.
Yeah, where did they come up with these numbers
of how much they need to insure their feet for?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
No feet in this list.
Okay, that's unusual.
But plenty of other body parts.
Let's start with the world-famous Dolly Parton.
What part of her body do you think Dolly Parton
has insured?
The most famous part of Dolly
would be her breasticles.
Oh, that's so rude.
It's her voice
that is the most famous part.
Well, I'm saying her body part.
Yeah, her voice.
Her voice is not a body part.
Her vocal cords.
But you're right,
it is her breasts.
Dolly Parton
reportedly spent
$930,000 to insure her breasts. Oh, gosh. Dolly Parton reportedly spent $930,000 to insure her breasts, nearly half a million
dollars per tartar.
Yeah, that's an expensive set.
It is an expensive set.
I wonder how much they cost to get put in.
Oh, she'd have only the best silicone.
Yeah, and the most silicone too.
So, yeah, that's interesting.
Miley Cyrus.
What part of her body do you think Miley is insuring?
I don't know.
Her tongue.
Oh, yeah, that makes sense.
Remember for a while she was famous for having her tongue out?
Yeah, all the time.
Interestingly, she has said that the reason she made that her thing
is because she didn't know what to do in photos.
She didn't know how to smile.
She was nervous.
So she just stick her tongue out.
Stick her tongue out, which I think is very relatable.
Miley Cyrus, when it became part of her image,
insured her tongue for $1.9 million.
Wow.
Why do you need to insure your tongue?
What's going to happen to it?
I don't know.
What if you get a pest?
Yeah, well, you usually have a say in that. Well, what
if you lose a bet?
Okay, yep. She could go, sorry.
Mariah Carey. What do you think Mariah Carey's
got in charge?
Well, she's...
Her whole body? Her whole body, right, no.
After she won
the Gillette, you know, the razor company Gillette?
Oh, yeah. Yep.
Legs of a Goddess Award in 2006.
She insured them for $68 million each.
Wow.
Each of Mariah Carey's legs are insured for $68 million.
That is an expensive pair of pins.
Straight after that,
Rihanna,
she placed second in the Gillette Legs of
a Goddess Hall of Fame. This sounds
fake, but this is real news.
After placing second in the Legs of a
Goddess Hall of Fame, Rihanna insured
her legs for 1.9 million.
So nowhere near as much. No, nowhere near as
much. She's more conservative. She's more chill
than Mariah, I think. Yeah, more chill, yeah. She's like,
yeah, well, I'll do it, but I don't care that much.
Right? She's chill, she's chill.
J-Lo. You love J-Lo.
I love J-Lo.
It's gotta be the caboose.
It is the caboose. One of the best ones
in the world. This one is a rumour,
but the rumour
is that J-Lo's tush
is insured for $33 million.
Worth every penny.
Or $16.5 million per cheek.
A cheek.
I assume you're just insuring the cheeks
and not the...
Don't worry.
Yeah, move on.
Kylie Minogue has also insured her rump.
I do know this about Kylie Minogue.
Yeah.
Quite a lot too, right?
Yeah, quite a lot.
Not as much as J-Lo's,
but then she doesn't have as much as J-Lo.
Exactly.
So maybe it's cheaper to insure.
Yeah.
Is it like square metreage of a house?
You pay more to insure the more square metreage is,
you pay more...
Potentially.
...the square inches of caboose there is.
Yeah.
Kylie Minogue's rump is insured for $5.8 million.
Does that mean?
Yeah.
Say Kylie, you know, she's in the bath.
It's all happened to us at the best of times.
She sits up and she knocks her butt cheek on the tap.
Ooh.
God, don't you hate that?
Yeah.
And then she bruises it.
Yeah.
Can she call up Amy and go, hey, Amy, I'm so glad I'm insured with you.
I need to get some money to fix my behind.
Yeah, I think in that situation, they will pay out for the repairs.
Yeah, right.
But she has to pay the premium.
Gotcha.
