Starting point is 00:02:12 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.
Starting point is 00:02:26 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.
Starting point is 00:02:45 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.
Starting point is 00:02:53 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
Starting point is 00:03:06 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.
Starting point is 00:03:25 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.
Starting point is 00:03:42 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.
Starting point is 00:03:54 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,
Starting point is 00:04:10 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!
Starting point is 00:04:29 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.
Starting point is 00:04:47 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.
Starting point is 00:05:05 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
Starting point is 00:05:21 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.
Starting point is 00:05:38 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,
Starting point is 00:05:58 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.
Starting point is 00:06:12 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.
Starting point is 00:06:23 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.
Starting point is 00:06:35 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.
Starting point is 00:06:51 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.
Starting point is 00:07:10 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.
Starting point is 00:07:22 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
Starting point is 00:07:49 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,
Starting point is 00:08:04 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.
Starting point is 00:08:20 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.
Starting point is 00:08:35 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,
Starting point is 00:08:54 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.
Starting point is 00:09:18 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.
Starting point is 00:09:35 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
Starting point is 00:09:52 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?
Starting point is 00:10:17 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.
Starting point is 00:10:26 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.
Starting point is 00:10:37 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
Starting point is 00:10:54 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.
Starting point is 00:11:08 Brewing. Brewing. Let it brew. None of this dip, dip out. Let it brew. Wait before you put the milk in. Wait. Wait.
Starting point is 00:11:20 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.
Starting point is 00:11:32 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,
Starting point is 00:11:46 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
Starting point is 00:12:02 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.
Starting point is 00:12:20 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
Starting point is 00:12:37 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.
Starting point is 00:13:07 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.
Starting point is 00:13:19 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.
Starting point is 00:13:33 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.
Starting point is 00:13:46 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.
Starting point is 00:13:59 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.
Starting point is 00:14:09 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.
Starting point is 00:14:17 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.
Starting point is 00:14:33 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.
Starting point is 00:14:47 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.
Starting point is 00:14:57 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.
Starting point is 00:15:07 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.
Starting point is 00:15:21 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?
Starting point is 00:15:35 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?
Starting point is 00:15:45 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?
Starting point is 00:15:59 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
Starting point is 00:16:10 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
Starting point is 00:16:24 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.
Starting point is 00:16:38 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,
Starting point is 00:16:48 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,
Starting point is 00:16:54 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.
Starting point is 00:17:06 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.
Starting point is 00:17:22 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
Starting point is 00:17:46 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
Starting point is 00:18:02 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.
Starting point is 00:18:12 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
Starting point is 00:18:30 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.
Starting point is 00:18:45 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.
Starting point is 00:19:06 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.
Starting point is 00:19:26 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?
Starting point is 00:19:44 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.
Starting point is 00:19:57 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
Starting point is 00:20:12 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.
Starting point is 00:20:22 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.
Starting point is 00:20:42 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.

Starting point is 00:23:21 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?
Starting point is 00:23:34 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.
Starting point is 00:23:47 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.
Starting point is 00:23:56 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.
Starting point is 00:24:07 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.
Starting point is 00:24:31 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.
Starting point is 00:24:59 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.
Starting point is 00:25:09 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.
Starting point is 00:25:32 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
Starting point is 00:25:43 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.
Starting point is 00:25:55 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
Starting point is 00:26:07 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
Starting point is 00:26:24 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.
Starting point is 00:26:38 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
Starting point is 00:26:54 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
Starting point is 00:27:09 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.
Starting point is 00:27:26 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
Starting point is 00:27:47 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.
Starting point is 00:28:05 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.
Starting point is 00:28:14 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.
Starting point is 00:28:28 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.
Starting point is 00:28:36 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
Starting point is 00:28:54 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.
Starting point is 00:29:09 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.
Starting point is 00:29:19 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.
Starting point is 00:29:31 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...
Starting point is 00:29:56 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,
Starting point is 00:30:07 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.
Starting point is 00:30:18 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.
Starting point is 00:30:25 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,
Starting point is 00:30:47 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.
Starting point is 00:30:57 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.
Starting point is 00:31:09 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?
Starting point is 00:31:25 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.
Starting point is 00:31:39 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.
Starting point is 00:31:49 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?
Starting point is 00:32:06 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?
Starting point is 00:32:18 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?
Starting point is 00:32:35 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.
Starting point is 00:32:48 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.
Starting point is 00:32:58 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.
Starting point is 00:33:12 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.
Starting point is 00:33:29 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.
Starting point is 00:33:47 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.
Starting point is 00:33:55 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.
Starting point is 00:34:03 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.
Starting point is 00:34:15 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,
Starting point is 00:34:28 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,
Starting point is 00:34:51 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.
Starting point is 00:35:05 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.
Starting point is 00:35:27 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.
Starting point is 00:35:39 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
Starting point is 00:35:56 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.

Brie and Clint.
Starting point is 00:36:45 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.
Starting point is 00:37:03 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.
Starting point is 00:37:18 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
Starting point is 00:37:38 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.
Starting point is 00:38:03 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.
Starting point is 00:38:15 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
Starting point is 00:38:34 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
Starting point is 00:38:49 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?
Starting point is 00:39:06 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?
Starting point is 00:39:28 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?
Starting point is 00:39:38 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.
Starting point is 00:39:53 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.
Starting point is 00:40:02 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
Starting point is 00:40:27 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.
Starting point is 00:40:43 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?
Starting point is 00:41:01 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.
Starting point is 00:41:18 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.
Starting point is 00:41:31 Pretty simple. Who's up first? Tim's here. Hi, Tim. G'day, Tim. G'day. How are you? Good, thanks.
Starting point is 00:41:37 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
Starting point is 00:41:47 Was Samantha Carrie Oh Samantha Was my second guess And Tim was like Hi I'm Samantha
Starting point is 00:41:54 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
Starting point is 00:42:02 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.
Starting point is 00:42:14 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
Starting point is 00:42:27 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
Starting point is 00:42:44 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.
Starting point is 00:42:59 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.
Starting point is 00:43:18 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.
Starting point is 00:43:34 Hannah is the last nickname this afternoon. Hi, Hannah. Hi. Hannah. Hannah. Hello. There she is. Hannah, tell us your nickname.
Starting point is 00:43:45 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.
Starting point is 00:44:02 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.
Starting point is 00:44:13 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.
Starting point is 00:44:33 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.
Starting point is 00:44:45 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.
Starting point is 00:44:55 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.
Starting point is 00:45:13 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.
Starting point is 00:45:27 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
Starting point is 00:45:46 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,
Starting point is 00:46:14 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.
Starting point is 00:46:39 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
Starting point is 00:47:02 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.
Starting point is 00:47:27 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.
Starting point is 00:47:37 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.
Starting point is 00:48:00 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
Starting point is 00:48:18 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
Starting point is 00:48:27 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
Starting point is 00:48:34 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
Starting point is 00:48:43 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.
Starting point is 00:48:58 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
Starting point is 00:49:14 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
Starting point is 00:49:35 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?
Starting point is 00:49:55 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,
Starting point is 00:50:11 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.
Starting point is 00:50:20 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.
Starting point is 00:50:28 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.
Starting point is 00:50:38 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.
Starting point is 00:50:52 But interested in your stories. Hannah is here. Hi, Hannah. Hi, Hannah. Hiya. How are you guys going? Not too bad. How are you?
Starting point is 00:50:59 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.
Starting point is 00:51:19 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.
Starting point is 00:51:36 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
Starting point is 00:51:51 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.
Starting point is 00:52:16 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.
Starting point is 00:52:46 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?
Starting point is 00:53:01 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,
Starting point is 00:53:14 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
Starting point is 00:53:22 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.
Starting point is 00:53:31 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.
Starting point is 00:53:47 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,
Starting point is 00:53:59 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?
Starting point is 00:54:10 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.
Starting point is 00:54:29 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.
Starting point is 00:54:44 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
Starting point is 00:54:59 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.
Starting point is 00:55:14 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.
Starting point is 00:55:26 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.

Starting point is 01:01:37 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.
Starting point is 01:01:50 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?
Starting point is 01:02:00 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.
Starting point is 01:02:19 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
Starting point is 01:02:29 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
Starting point is 01:02:40 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?
Starting point is 01:02:49 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
Starting point is 01:03:07 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
Starting point is 01:03:24 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.
Starting point is 01:03:50 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.
Starting point is 01:04:23 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?
Starting point is 01:04:32 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.
Starting point is 01:04:40 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.
Starting point is 01:04:53 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.
Starting point is 01:05:07 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.
Starting point is 01:05:30 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.
Starting point is 01:05:54 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.
Starting point is 01:06:08 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?
Starting point is 01:06:29 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?
Starting point is 01:06:52 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
Starting point is 01:07:08 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.
Starting point is 01:07:19 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.
Starting point is 01:07:35 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.
Starting point is 01:07:54 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.
Starting point is 01:08:08 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?
Starting point is 01:08:22 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
Starting point is 01:08:43 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,
Starting point is 01:09:06 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
Starting point is 01:09:23 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
Starting point is 01:09:40 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
Starting point is 01:09:56 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.
Starting point is 01:10:08 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...
Starting point is 01:10:19 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.
Starting point is 01:10:32 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.
Starting point is 01:10:49 Yeah, I think in that situation, they will pay out for the repairs. Yeah, right. But she has to pay the premium. Gotcha. ZM's Free and Clint. The podcast with mobile smiles. Register, fill up, redeem points for rewards. Easy.
