Starting point is 00:00:00 Cause I know I got bad blood And I know you're shabby, my love Do do do do do do Welcome to the podcast That's like an audio signal I'm trialling out Oh yeah, cool, I'm trialling a new song Oh yeah What's in your bum?
Starting point is 00:00:16 What's in your bum? What did you stick up your bum? Oh yeah, that will make more sense later in the podcast It will, we cover that off in the show Well technically It wasn't up the bum though No That's why the song is so multi
Starting point is 00:00:29 Faceted Yeah It's the song that keeps on giving How good is that word faceted? We've got a big announcement on the show today And I don't want to spoil it But yeah It's an emotional announcement on the show
Starting point is 00:00:42 How much can we spoil? None or some? No none Because it's straight away announcement on the show. How much can we spoil? None or some? No, none, because it's straight away. I want to talk about it. I want to talk about it in a more candid way, the way we do
Starting point is 00:00:51 with the podcast listeners that no one else gets. You could be like, here's the podcast and then it'll play the announcement and then we can come back with the candid chat. Do you want to do that?
Starting point is 00:00:58 We don't normally do that. I guess we have to wait until tomorrow, don't we? Yeah. It's straight away. It's straight away. It's literally the first thing, yeah. And someone cries.
Starting point is 00:01:09 It's true. I wonder who it is. It'll be one of the boys. They're such crybabies on the show. Can I say, I love a man who cries. Me too. I think it's so hot. Well, can I introduce myself?
Starting point is 00:01:23 My name is Clint, and I, since having a child, have become extremely emotional. Nice. I cry at the drop of a hat. What was the smallest thing you've cried at recently? Oh, it'll be an ad. One of those Spark ads that they put on a Sunday night. You know what it was?
Starting point is 00:01:46 It got me again. Remember the Spark ad where there's the solo mum? Yeah. And she's raising a kid and it's coming up to Father's Day. Oh, yes. And the kid's like Googling. And, yeah, Googling what to do for Father's Day. And you can see she's cut up about it Because he doesn't have a father figure in his life
Starting point is 00:02:06 Because that dirt bag is off somewhere Or actually he may have passed away It doesn't say in the ad Yeah, how dare you Anyway, the kid doesn't have a father And she's wondering how to deal with that And then she wakes up on Father's Day And the kid's bought the mum a card that says
Starting point is 00:02:20 Happy Father's Day Oh, that's really nice Yeah, that is a cute ad I cried on Saturday Because I burnt the last hash browns in the freezer. Same, same. And I was like, are you kidding me? Yeah, but you were hungover. I know, but I probably still would have cried because I love a hash brown.
Starting point is 00:02:37 Oh, I'm going to say it had a lot to do with the hangover because it intensified your need for hash browns. God, I was hung dog millionaire on the weekend, I'll tell you. Oh, my God, I haven't been that hung over. Have you got an issue? Have you got a problem? What do you mean? Like a drinking problem.
Starting point is 00:02:51 No. That's a good question. Well, I just got to check in with you. No, I do definitely don't. I haven't been hung over in, like, months, to be honest. Yeah, right. Like, I haven't really, like, I'm very good these days about stopping at a certain point.

And I'd order six pastas from around the place. And then I'd say, are you all right? Do you have a drinking problem? And you'd say, do you want some pasta? And then everyone would enjoy the pasta.

You're not a Blues fan. I have so much audio of you slandering and just ridiculing the Blues players. Yeah, I hated them. For the past

We need to get someone from the team in here to obviously make that announcement. It's not our announcement to make. It's theirs. Which means they need to come in here and do that.

And, of course, you know, everyone here that does something to create something every day, which is you and I, Clint, and, of course, the producers, Ben and Ellie, everyone out in the office, but obviously our tight-knit team in here
Starting point is 00:09:48 is you and I, Ben and Ellie. We're a foursome. We are. We're an awesome foursome. And someone has a special announcement that only they can make. It's their announcement to make. And there's no pressure on this whatsoever.
Starting point is 00:10:01 There's no, it's not a big deal. Producer Ben, would you like to say? Anything you'd like to announce, Ben? Your announcement? You don't even have your mic on. It's not Producer Ben. No, Brie, is there anything you need to announce? No, nothing.
Starting point is 00:10:15 I'm pretty, no, nothing I need to announce. There's nothing going on in my life. Must be Producer Ellie. It's just you. Hello, yes, it's me. Hi, Ellie. Hello. You're the one with the big announcement.
Starting point is 00:10:25 I am. I'm really nervous to say this. We know you are. Because it's becoming really real. And that's all right. We're here with you. I'm going to cry. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:35 All I've got is a napkin. Yeah, thanks, bro. That's really considerate of you. Thank you. You're welcome. I'll take that. I'll take that. Yeah. I'll take that. I'll take that. I have made a very difficult decision a few weeks ago to leave ZM and this lovely team that I've had so much fun with.
Starting point is 00:10:54 I never thought that I would leave this quickly, early, ever. I love this team and my family. But I have been approached for another role. And I don't know if you... But you can't... Can you announce that? I can announce that if I want. Okay, cool.
Starting point is 00:11:09 So I'm going to be moving across to Viva La Dirt League which is the YouTube channel that I do some acting in. Hashtag like, subscribe, you know, plug, plug, plug. Oh, jeez, you're already getting paid. Yes, go! Yeah. So I'm going to be going across to them to be their social media manager.
Starting point is 00:11:24 Yeah. Just keep doing the acting and stuff you've been scooped up yeah it's a big deal yeah and it came out of nowhere and it gave me a fright and my whole world turned like upside down I guess in a good way but it was a very very very hard decision to make and I'm really sad to be leaving the team
Starting point is 00:11:39 but also the listeners who have been on this journey with this team and also me for so long but I will be leaving at the journey with this team and also me for so long. But I will be leaving at the end of this week. And you know what? I just want to jump in and I wish I could say I was surprised, but I'm not bloody surprised at all. You're one of the most talented, amazing people I've ever had the pleasure of working with, but not only working with,
Starting point is 00:12:01 but also having as one of my really good mates. And I think, yeah, I'm losing my bloody part. Uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh. And I'm not trying to make you upset but I just want you to know how much you've meant to this team and even me as the fellow woman on the show, how much, you know, you and I have connected and I feel like I've found my New Zealand, like, bloody twin. And just the times where, you know,
Starting point is 00:12:30 we've really, like, had these amazing moments and you've been such a massive part of that. And the reason this show has had so much success is because of, a big part is because of you. Thank you. And we will miss you greatly and we will do a big send-off, won't we, Clint, at the end of the week? I'm emotionally affected too
Starting point is 00:12:47 but I'm going to save it for Friday. I've got more to say. Get gear up for Friday. But the reason we're doing it now is because we're a team and Ellie is a big part of our team and she will have been part of your drive homes since the day this show started.
Starting point is 00:13:03 Ellie's been on every single show. So we're not just going to spring it on people on Friday and go, guess what, no more Ellie. So we've got a week to bloody enjoy your company and everyone else listening. If you want to call up and, you know, let Ellie know how much she's, like, brightened your day, which I know there's a lot of you, we've got the week. And we're going to celebrate you for the rest of the week
Starting point is 00:13:25 and especially on Friday. We'll send you off. But after that, you are dead to us. Did we organise the fireworks? Fireworks? Yeah, for Friday. I've never seen them. Ben's shooting them out of his butt.
Starting point is 00:13:36 Oh, hot. I like it. That's the big send off. That's the big news, everybody. Well, you made three quarters of it without crying, Ali. Thank you. I tried. Sorry, that was my bad. Sorry, you made three quarters of it without crying, Ellie. Thank you. I tried. Sorry, that was my bad.
Starting point is 00:13:46 Sorry about that. You and I are bloody crying. When we do the tribute on Friday as well, you're going to be three glasses of dutes deep. You imagine the waterworks then. I'll be done. We love you and we're going to miss you. I love you guys.
Starting point is 00:13:58 But we've got a whole week of fun still to have, okay? Thank you. I love everyone. Thank you so much. Bree and Clint. And so today, I can announce that Cabinet has agreed we will now move to Level 1 to get our economy fully open again, and we will start almost immediately. We move down to COVID-19 Alert Level 1 from midnight tonight. Can you do that?
Starting point is 00:14:28 Woo! Good on you, mate. Yeah, nice work, everyone. That's a team effort. They have 110%. Yeah, and it really shows on the scoreboard. What an amazing result. No, in all seriousness, that's amazing news that the Prime Minister has delivered just now and exciting for this country, that's for sure.
Starting point is 00:14:51 Hell yeah. Yeah. Moving on because, I mean, I'm very pumped by that news. This is also something to be pretty excited about. All right, I'm ready to be excited with you. I've got more Queen news. Queen news? Yeah, Elizabeth Lizzie.
Starting point is 00:15:04 All right, I can give another national anthem. She's in there if you like. A guy called Darren McGrady. Have you ever heard of him? No. He was a chef for Buckingham Palace for about 15 years. He worked obviously for the Queen in Buckingham Palace for a 15 years. He worked obviously for the Queen in Buckingham Palace for a long time
Starting point is 00:15:26 and he's revealed that one of his first jobs when he got hired to be a chef at Buckingham Palace was to cook solely for the corgis. Wow. The dogs, the Queen's dogs. They had their own chef. I knew living in a palace would have perks, but I didn't know they quite extended that far to the dogs having their own personal chef.
Starting point is 00:15:48 So he spoke out and said he expected to be cooking for queens and kings and, you know, presidents. But no, his first job was cooking for the dogs and he would make fresh food every single day. They even had their own menu. So I've never had a dog before. Yeah. But do dogs need cooked food?
Starting point is 00:16:11 Some people. Because what I was – I thought you'd just huck them a piece of meat and they'd yummy down on that. Do they need their meals cooked? I mean, I think, you know, giving them a piece of meat is very good for their teeth. But then I know for a fact a lot of people sometimes cook entire meals just for their dogs. Really?
Starting point is 00:16:29 Luxurious dog. Very fancy. Our cats, for example, are currently dining on a menu of Italian cold smoked salmon. But that's only because they're catching the food that my daughter chucks off her high chair. Well, they'd be loving that. We're not purchasing it for the cats, but inadvertently, they're getting a macaroni cheese. Oh, hell yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:50 Which I don't believe. Because I come eat off the floor at your house. Right? I don't believe that vets would recommend that diet, but they're getting it inadvertently. I would draw the line, and I do dote on our animals a bit, but I draw the line at cooking them a meal. Yeah, I think some people, you know, that's their babies, you know,
Starting point is 00:17:07 and they go above and beyond. I remember talking to a woman. Did I tell you about this? No. And it was a woman in the supermarket and she had her dog in the trolley and I was like, oh, that's so cute. She's like, yeah, I'm just buying him his vegetables for the week. And I was like, oh, he eats vegetables.
Starting point is 00:17:23 And she was like, yeah, he eats, you know, a balanced diet. Right. That is part of, I think that is part of a balanced diet for animals. You've got to have some meat in there. Well, yeah. She said she feeds him all types of things. Yeah, right. Which is, yeah, interesting. Someone's already texted in and said, my nana used to cook a frozen chicken for her cats to eat.
Starting point is 00:17:41 Yeah, that doesn't surprise me. I mean, that could just be economical. That could be good. We used to give our cats and dogs chicken, like chicken, like, you know, raw chicken bone, not bones, like, you know, legs and wings. Yeah, I'm not opposed to it. They love it too. I've never thought of the idea of getting in there because do you ask, do you?
Starting point is 00:17:59 Well, the corgis had their own menu. Are you showing the corgis the menu and whichever item they lick, they're like, that's what you're having this week? Ah, the sous vide steaks are a marvellous selection. I do feel like a bit of a stir fry. Do you have any stir fries? There'll be some fancy pet people out there listening right now though.
Starting point is 00:18:14 Yeah, we want to hear from you guys. Is this you? Do you go above and beyond for your pets? What are you cooking for them? What are you feeding for them? Do you spend more time cooking a meal for your pet than you do on your own meal? Bougie Pet Diet.
Starting point is 00:18:28 0800 dial ZM or you can text us on 9696 as well. What fancy things are you feeding your pets? Bree and Clint. Stories come out about the Queen's Corgis that they used to have or still have, I'd assume, their own personal chef. They've got their menu that they can pick from. This is a grim question and I should have checked it first. Does the Queen have any corgis left?
Starting point is 00:18:52 Well, I did some research on that. She has lost a few over the years or whatever. I think she has corgi cross dash hounds now. Oh, okay. So she's got – there are dogs. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think she's got a couple. Because I thought, no, I won't say it.
Starting point is 00:19:08 What? No, no, no. What were you going to say? No, say it. What were you going to say? I thought she had had her last corgis is what I thought was happening. What, as in? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Starting point is 00:19:18 I'm wrong. So just ignore me. Okay. I know it's grim and that's what I said. So I didn't want to say it. Anyway. Well, you should have said, I probably shouldn't say this. We want to know about your bougie pets.
Starting point is 00:19:28 What's the fancy food? Do you like cook a full meal for your pets rather than opening a can for them? Are you treating your pets better than your partner? Is your pet on my food bag? Eliza's here. Hey, Eliza. Hi, Eliza. Hi.
Starting point is 00:19:43 Are you one of these people that goes above and beyond for your pets? It wasn't to be bougie, that's for sure. Al's dog was quite old, went into final stage heart failure, and could no longer have salt. And the only food he was able to eat, he wouldn't eat. And so he didn't eat for a few days, got very sick. And so I started what the vet said and cooking for him every day. And he lasted another two years.
Starting point is 00:20:07 Oh, wow. Oh, my God. That's amazing. I can imagine you in the kitchen in the first six months. You're like, I love you. And this is a beautiful thing I can do in the last stages of your life. I'm going to go above and beyond for you. I'm going to do extra.
Starting point is 00:20:19 And then after a year, you're like, man, this guy's just sticking around. You're taking the piss now, aren't you? How much longer am I going to be in this bloody kitchen? What was your main meal that you would cook for the dog? It had to change all the time or he got bored and stopped eating. So it was mostly meat and fish and vegetables. Yeah, right. Well, good on you.
Starting point is 00:20:39 You gave your dog some beautiful quality of life at the end there. So well done. Obviously, you're a good cook because he lasted that long. I don't think my husband would agree. The dog would eat it though. Yeah, right. We've got a few funny texts coming through. Someone said they've got a St. Bernard
Starting point is 00:20:54 and he doesn't cope well with the heat in summer. So they've started making him ice blocks in an ice cream container. Oh, that's so cute. I've seen that people do that and you can freeze like a bone in the middle of it. Yeah, that's so cute. I've seen that people do that and you can freeze like a bone in the middle of it. Yeah, so they have to get to the bone. And they have to bite through the ice to get to it. Yeah, smart.
Starting point is 00:21:11 That's fun. Katie's here. Hey, Katie. Hello. Katie, what do you do for your dog that's above and beyond? So I've got a two-year-old husky and she's just become very fussy. So I buy like pork mince and I cook
Starting point is 00:21:26 it and then I chop up all carrots and kumara and mash it all together. Can you cook that for me? That sounds bloody nice. It's pretty good but she has to have it in the, pretty much I have to put it in the microwave for her for about a minute otherwise she won't eat it.
Starting point is 00:21:41 Does she like this dish served on rice or on udon noodles? Sometimes rice. Yeah, right. Dogs love rice, apparently. Interesting. Okay, well, you're doing a great job. Well done, Katie. So cute. Add dog chef to your CV. That's good as well. A lot of people are texting through with
Starting point is 00:21:57 different things that they're doing for their pets. Someone said, our dog, Obi, gets a slow-cooked liver and heart stew made for him every Sunday to last the week. And ever since we started that, he no longer drops those horrendous dog farts. Oh, there's an upshot. Well, that's good, isn't it? That's a plus.
Starting point is 00:22:14 Someone else said, my dad used to make porridge for our St. Bernard every morning, but he would never make it for me. That's a bit rough, isn't it? And someone else said, I buy my dog healthy weight management biscuits that cost $31 a bag. But then when we found him digging up the garden and eating the cat poo, I was like, stuff it. I'm just buying the cheap bread. Bree and Clint from iHeartRadio. This is the latest live from LA with Dean McCarthy.
Starting point is 00:22:43 Dean, huge news over the weekend with J.K. Rowling, the author from Harry Potter, becoming a bit of a villain in her own story. What's going on with her? Yeah, it's really unusual. People love her. She's so rich and adored. She's even richer than the Queen, actually.
Starting point is 00:22:57 Over the weekend, J.K. Rowling, she is very opinionated, I will say that. She posted on Twitter, she shared an article called about after the COVID-19, how the world will prepare for people who menstruate. It's like a long, deep article. And in her comment on Twitter, she wrote, people who menstruate, I'm sure there used to be a word for those people.
Starting point is 00:23:16 Someone help me out. Wombin, Wimbin, Wombin. And it was like, it's really, really landed badly. And it sounds, as many, many people have pointed out, to sound very transphobic. She's gone on, she's defended her statement. She said that she's always admired and loved and respected people who are trans,
Starting point is 00:23:32 but her initial tweet has gone viral. Yeah, I've seen a lot of people who are self-admitted Harry Potter fans, but members of the Rainbow community just coming out and saying they're done with J.K. Rowling. They think she's fully transphobic and she has refused to change her opinion right she's kind of kept digging the hole and trying to defend what she said and just adding more and more to the fire kind of thing and i think you know what it really kind of shows she's being very close-minded and i
Starting point is 00:24:00 think very opinionated on something where i don't think she really should be commenting. So it's interesting. She's not gay, is she? I know she's not trans, but she's not part of the LGBTQI plus community. I don't believe so. But like you said to me earlier, Clint, Harry Potter was something that didn't discriminate. It brought everyone together.
Starting point is 00:24:23 And, you know, it's kind of sad seeing this kind of happening now. It's a bizarre time to pick this fight, like there is so much other stuff going on at the moment for her, who has 14 million followers on Twitter I think, Dean, to come out and pick this fight now, like why would you?
Starting point is 00:24:40 I feel like someone said, I think I read online someone was like, hey JK Rowling do you realise what is going on right now? Shut up. Right, right. Not the right time. What is your favourite Harry Potter book, Dean? I can't even, I don't
Starting point is 00:24:55 even know. You haven't read one, have you? You haven't read one, have you? No, I've never read them. Dean McCarthy, he's our Hollywood correspondent. The latest is brought to you by Bumble, the social networking app where women make the first move. Brianne Clint. You would have been seeing your neighbours a lot in the last however many months, wouldn't you?
Starting point is 00:25:13 Yeah. Have you had any run-ins with your neighbours? I love my neighbours. What about the neighbours you had the blow-up with? No, excuse me. Don't try and start something. No. Remember that?
Starting point is 00:25:23 When? Wasn't it you were like, stop letting go of those fireworks or something? Oh, it was a few houses down. Yeah. Well, it's technically kind of your neighbours. Yeah, right. We're civil. Look, out of context, that sounds bad.
Starting point is 00:25:37 I blew up at them, but I was very stressed with a new baby at the time. And they were letting go of fireworks. Fair enough. And I've apologised. This is the segment where they would ring up to complain about me. Probably. Even though they were the ones letting off fireworks. Oh, it could go both ways, I think.
Starting point is 00:25:50 My immediate neighbours I love. And my neighbour has just sold her house and she's leaving. And I've got that feeling where you go, damn it, I actually had great neighbours. Yeah, what's going to happen now? And now I've got to roll the dice of whether I'm going to like the new people or not who can see directly into our lounge. Well, this might make you feel uneasy because some stories have been released
Starting point is 00:26:06 about different altercations people have had, run-ins with their neighbours over the last however many months. Someone said, my house was yellow. My neighbour wouldn't stop complaining about how they hated the colour. The one time when I was away, I had got back after a couple of days and they had painted my entire house white and tried to stick me with the bill. They painted your house? Can you imagine getting home and being like, where's my house?
Starting point is 00:26:35 That's illegal. I mean, first of all, if they want to paint your house and they've done a good job, that's like tens of thousands of dollars worth of work. No, but they tried to get him to pay the bill. I'm not paying. Good luck trying to get the money out of my bank account. Duff that, hey. Someone else said,
Starting point is 00:26:49 we had a guy in our neighbourhood called the blower dude. That's what everyone in our neighbourhood referred to him as. He would use his leaf blower at least four or five times a day. The first time would start at 5.30 in the morning. Oh, no, that's not okay. That's not cool. I have, since transitioning into full dad mode, have grappled with what time it's appropriate to start the lawnmower.
Starting point is 00:27:13 Oh, this is good. What time do you think? Because my day starts at 6.30. So for me, I've had breakfast and coffee and everything. Yeah, but that's your day. By 8 o'clock, I'm out there. If it's a nice day, I'm out there ready to get started on a Sunday. So are we talking Sunday?
Starting point is 00:27:27 Yeah. What time are you starting? Look, I know 8 o'clock's too early, but I've been tempted. But 9, I'll be on the lawnmower by 9. I'll probably still fling a bit of cat poo over your yard if you were doing that. No, I think that's all right. We wanted to know, though, someone else actually texted through
Starting point is 00:27:44 and they said, our neighbour complained about us that my cat was staring at her. Yeah, see, some people aren't just cut out to live in close quarters. Some people should be on a block of land with no neighbours because they're going to complain no matter what. You know, the other ones are going to complain that there's too many leaves from your yard and their yard. They just want something to complain about.
Starting point is 00:28:02 They just want something to complain about. Yeah, exactly. So let's give you the chance to complain about them this afternoon. It can be anonymous. Oh, your phone's calling. Is that your neighbour? It's the neighbour, I think. Oh, no.
Starting point is 00:28:12 We want you guys to call up. What's the thing your neighbour does that ticks you off a bit? Yeah. You know, this is your chance to vent. Maybe we can work through it together. We can keep you anonymous if you would like to have a vent about your neighbour. Okay? Yeah, what's the...
Starting point is 00:28:26 If you need that. Yeah. But you don't have to be anonymous. You're welcome to put your name to it. What's the run-in you've had with your neighbours? You can call us 0800 DIAL ZM or text us on 9696. Sometimes I feel like it is very healthy
Starting point is 00:28:41 to just have a vent, let it out, and then you can move past it. And why not use the power of the ZM network to have that vent to the entire country? Yeah, we're here to listen. We'll have a vent with you. We'll talk it through, and then we can all move on.
Starting point is 00:28:56 Today we're venting about neighbours that piss you off. Yeah, what have they done to really tick you off this time? Kai's here. Hey, is it Kai or Kel? Kai. Kai. Hey, Kai it Kai or Kel? Kai. Kai. Hey, Kai, how are you? Yeah, good, thanks.
Starting point is 00:29:08 Have you got a gripe with the neighbours, Kai? Yeah, it's kind of like a neighbours at war type of situation. Yeah. Oh, what's happening? Yeah, so they water bastard their side of the fence a couple of times and, like, they didn't tell me about it and then they ended up getting all over my car, so I've had to wash my car.
Starting point is 00:29:28 Oh, yeah. So I got them back one time, and they had washing. They had all these white sheets hanging over their line. Yeah. And so I went and I had a water blaster. Yeah. So I went and got the water blaster, and I water blasted my side of the fence,
Starting point is 00:29:44 and then it ended up getting all their washing. Yeah. So that was my way of getting them back. But then they come over to my place onto my side of the fence and they started having an argument with me and calling me all these names under the sun. And I said, whatever, you know, you've done it to me twice. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:04 Kai, Kai, Kai, Kai. And obviously you're our listener, so we're on your side. I want to say that first. Off the fence. We're team Kai. Can you see, though, how getting a car dirty is a bit different to getting their white sheets covered in mud? My car's worth more than the sheets.
Starting point is 00:30:22 I understand that, but one of those things is waterproof. Can I just ask, Kai, I want to know, did you only water blast your fence at that moment because their washing was on the line? Oh, absolutely. That's why I went and hired a water blaster. You even hired the water blaster. Kai, like we said, there's no more deliberation that's needed.
Starting point is 00:30:43 We're Team Kai, okay? We're on your side. Team Kai. And if you need witnesses when you go to court, like we said, there's no more deliberation that's needed. We're Team Kai, okay? We're on your side. Team Kai. And if you need witnesses when you go to court, call us up, man. Oh, $800 it in. We're there. Cheers. Brilliant.
Starting point is 00:30:52 Thank you. There's a few texts on the text machine. Someone said, and this one really grinds my gears. Someone said, our neighbours snitched on me and my flatmates for parking our cars facing the wrong direction in the cul-de-sac. It was $50 fines each. Oh, do you have nothing better to do? If you're picking on the way people are direction they're parking their cars in,
Starting point is 00:31:12 get a fricking hobby. Yeah, come on. Someone else said every Sunday my neighbour will start his big boat and rev it as loud as he can at 5am for an hour, but he will never take it out to sea. Yeah, that's safer. What do you mean? He's obviously doing it to keep the motor in good condition.
Starting point is 00:31:32 Yeah, and you don't need life jackets if you use it in the driveway. I'm tending to side with the boat guy on that one. Listen to this one. This one's juicy. Someone said, here's my neighbour's story. I chatted to a girl over Bumble during lockdown and I caught up with her after Aunty Cindy said it was allowed. We had a bit of fun together one night and to be completely honest,
Starting point is 00:31:53 I wasn't feeling a relationship vibe so I suggested that we left it there. She's just moved into the apartment across the driveway in our complex. Oh, uncomfortable. Oh, no. Oh, because she would have known where you lived too. Because she's done a rendezvous at your house. Oh, you might have a clinger in that situation. And Stanley, finally.
Starting point is 00:32:14 Hi, Stanley. Hi, Stanley. How's it going? Good, thanks. You want to have a vent about your neighbours? Oh, yeah. So I've got this neighbour and she just consistently parks on my grass patch. I live up a driveway with about 10 other houses.
Starting point is 00:32:28 Now, we've got a really narrow, winding driveway. Yeah, they're noisy kids. Yeah, yeah, I've got really noisy kids. And so she just occasionally just parked on my grass one day when I was at work, and I come home from work, and I had nowhere to park apart from in my garage, and because my work van was kind of too big for a garage because it's a van it was blocking where I would park so I chucked a piece of um train pailing underneath underneath the car and she went to go forward
Starting point is 00:32:57 she couldn't understand why so then she put it into reverse, put her foot down, and went straight into like a barrier that we've got along our driveway. And she went straight into it and munched up the back of her car. Let me guess, she's not too happy with you? Oh, she wasn't at the time. It was probably about six months ago now, but she hasn't parked there since. Oh, well. I guess it kind of, we don't condone that, but I guess it kind of worked. Yeah, right, okay.
Starting point is 00:33:27 Interestingly, I want to finish on this last text because they're asking you, do you have a gripe with your neighbours? And someone's texted through, and I can relate to this one I think a lot. They said, my neighbour is offensively good looking. It's super frustrating. Every day I'm just chilling out and they're just there being hot. The bastard. Go over and lay your complaint in person. That's the best advice you can get on that one.
Starting point is 00:33:49 Excuse me, can you stop being so damn hot? Kia ora, I'm Jane Yee. I'm Alex Casey. And I'm Duncan Grave. We are the hosts of The Real Pod and Confession Cam Time.

Brought to you by the Spinoff Podcast Network and available wherever you get your
Starting point is 00:34:22 pods. Bree and Clint. As we went to air on Friday afternoon, just before the weekends, news was breaking about a woman twerking on the Auckland Harbour Bridge. Yeah, she stopped her car, got out, started twerking, and it made headlines all around the country. Because you don't do that. It's not a done thing.
Starting point is 00:34:42 First of all, you don't stop on the Harbour Bridge. It's dangerous. And second of all, you don't tw that. It's not the done thing. Yeah. First of all, you don't stop on the Harbour Bridge. It's dangerous. And second of all, you don't twerk because it's not 2006 and we're not twerking anymore. Yeah, that's the main reason. Like, when was the last time twerking was even a thing? Like... I can't remember.
Starting point is 00:34:59 Anyway, that's beside the point. The 36-year-old woman... She was 36! Yeah, she was old enough to know better. ...has been identified by police because she videoed it and put it on her social media. What day was it on?
Starting point is 00:35:14 Friday. Did she have a couple of rosés? She wasn't driving, so if she did have a couple of rosés, then that would be okay. She had a getaway driver. She had someone She had a few early morning mimosas. Yeah. There's no information here about
Starting point is 00:35:29 what she'd imbibed. But I'll play you some of her videos, shall I? And you can tell me if you think that she's had a bit of Dutch courage. So this is the 36 year old woman charged officially with twerking on the Auckland Harbour Bridge. Yeah, yeah, what up, what up, how's
Starting point is 00:35:44 it going? This is some twerking, my f Harbour Bridge. Yeah, yeah, what up, what up, how's it going? We did some twerking, my f***ers, now to the old f***ers. Ha, ha! Harbour Bridge, that's where we're b***h. What up, even had some f***ing twitching and s***. Ha! Looks like it was a big bottomless brunch. Yeah, right, right, possibly.
Starting point is 00:36:00 Yeah. So, anyway, like I said, she's been identified. That's the problem with the perfect crime, like twerking on the Harbour Bridge. When you post it. When you post it. It's evidence. Yeah. So anyway, like I said, she's been identified. That's the problem with the perfect crime, like twerking on the Harbour Bridge. When you post it. When you post it. It's evidence. Yeah, right?
Starting point is 00:36:09 Because it's usually on your page too. I don't imagine that was shared by Ladbible. I don't know if it would be too hard for the police to go, oh, the person who posted that looks a lot like the person in the video. In the profile picture. How much do you, so she's been charged and she's been fined. How much do you think it costs? What do you think the charge is?
Starting point is 00:36:29 Money wise, if you get caught twerking on the Auckland Harbour Bridge, where by the way, 154,000 cars a day cross that bridge. It's very dangerous. Like super dangerous. Yeah, it's New Zealand's only bridge. Yeah. I want to say she was fined
Starting point is 00:36:44 2,000. That'd be right, eh? That'd be about right. That right? The fine for stopping your car in the middle of the Auckland Harbour Bridge and performing a twerk dance, $250. Oh, is that it? Which, again, I'm not encouraging it,
Starting point is 00:37:04 but you've got to say if you're that woman, worth it. Pretty worth it. How dangerous it is. Yeah, not worth it for that. No, not at all. But I mean, yeah, that's a pretty cheap fine for how dangerous what she did was.
Starting point is 00:37:16 Yeah, $250. Cheap bit of social media content, really. I mean, people are getting fined just for twerking in public these days that much. Yeah, right. Bree and Clint. Oh, my God. What? No way. I right. Bree and Clint. Oh, my God. What?
Starting point is 00:37:26 No way. I can't believe that happened. Oh, my God, no. Are you f***ing kidding me? Bree and Clint's Cliffhanger. This is where we get you guys on to tell your stories where you don't tell the whole thing. You tell three quarters and then what we do is you and I, Clint,
Starting point is 00:37:43 will write an alternative ending, and then obviously your real ending's thrown in the mix. Ellie reads out all three, and it's everyone else's job to pick the real ending. We thought, because we announced earlier in the show that Ellie is leaving our team at the end of the week, we thought let's get Ellie on to tell the story. And they're all R-rated.
Starting point is 00:38:02 Turns out none of Ellie's stories are appropriate for the radio. Yeah, apologies. And we get taken to the Bureau of Radio Standards, and we don't want to do that in your last week. Not the Bureau of Radio Standards. Is that what it's called? I don't know. I've had enough emails from them.
Starting point is 00:38:18 I should know what they're called. Emma, you're going to tell us a story. Good afternoon. Hello, Emma. How are you doing? Good, thanks. Now, give us three quarters of your cliffhanger. Oh, so it was Christmas Day, sort of late 80s, I think it would have been.
Starting point is 00:38:32 I was about six and my brother was about eight. And we always used to go around every year to my dad's workmates for like a champagne breakfast barbecue type thing. Blush. And he used to get dressed up as Santa and give out presents to all the kids and stuff. So we're sort of busy sitting on his knee, getting all our presents and stuff. And then the next thing, my mum's mate drives past the house
Starting point is 00:38:52 and my mum sees her and... Oh! What was the friend doing in the car? Is it ending A, mum went running to try wave to her, smashed through the ranch lighter and it ended up with 140 stitches. Is it ending B, she wasn't driving at all.
Starting point is 00:39:10 Her car was being pulled by six full-blown reindeer. She'd turned her car into a sled complete with Rudolph. That's awesome. Or ending C, they were in the car with my dad, and that's when we realised dad was having an affair with my mum's best friend. One of those. All of them are crazy. One of them in particular is particularly crazy. Which one?
Starting point is 00:39:35 I won't say. Marie has the chance to guess. Hi, Marie. Hello. Hi. Do you think you know the correct one? About 90% sure. Perfect. Give me the good shot? About 90% sure. Perfect.
Starting point is 00:39:45 Emma, the good shot. Lock in an ending for us. I'm going to go with A. Ending A. Mum went to go and see her and ran through the ranch so I ended up getting 140 stitches. Emma, what's the correct ending to your Christmas story? Yes, the correct answer is A.
Starting point is 00:40:01 Ah! Mitty, you picked up that $50 worth of mobile fuel. Cool. Thank you. You're very welcome. Emma, sorry you didn't win the fuel, but, man, what a story. Was Mum okay? Yeah, yeah, she was all right.
Starting point is 00:40:15 She was pretty sore for a good week or two, of course, with lots of stitches and whatnot, but she recovered all right. Did you say she had 140 stitches? Yeah. Wow. Where was the main area that she got stitched? The majority were knees and her legs because she kind of must have led with her knee
Starting point is 00:40:33 as she went through. My sister ran through a ranch slider once when she was a little, little kid and it is the most terrifying experience and for a moment you're like, that person's dead. They've just sliced themselves in half. But she was fine, luckily. Yeah, so she was okay.
Starting point is 00:40:47 One of our friends ran into one just before lockdown hit and she ran into it face first and her whole face of makeup was on the window. But it didn't break. It didn't break. It's the fire. Bree and Clint. At our house at the moment, it's like Christmas every single day.
Starting point is 00:41:05 A man in a red suit arrives and he drops off gifts. Oh, that's lucky. I know, right? That man works for Courier Post and the gifts have all been purchased by my wife. Come on, is it all by her? I know you've been doing some purchasing. No, no, I haven't. You've bought nothing, have you?
Starting point is 00:41:22 No, I'm a saint. I'm a saint and she... So you're perfect and your wife is the one buying everything. In her defence, the wonderful things she's buying. But anyway, anyway, anyway, I want to tell you an online shopping nightmare that she's had at the moment. What's happened? Okay, and this is a cautionary tale for anyone who's thinking of doing some online shopping.
Starting point is 00:41:40 Don't do it. It's a bad idea. Okay? I do a lot of my shopping online. Oh, not after you hear this. Okay? So there's this jersey that my wife Lucy has been pining after. She't do it. It's a bad idea. I do a lot of my shopping online. Not after you hear this. So there's this jersey that my wife Lucy has been pining after. She's wanted it. Match with it on Tinder.
Starting point is 00:41:51 You know when you find an item and you go, that's me. That jersey there, that's me. Without even seeing it. Yeah, yeah. That's my soul mate. And this winter, that's my jersey. I think that about, you know, donuts I see on Instagram. I'm like, that's for me. Did you know that it's International Donut Day this Friday?
Starting point is 00:42:07 I did see that. What are we going to do? How many donuts do you think you could eat? No, we are not doing this again. No. Like if you add two, like what's your number? We will talk about this later. Okay, we'll talk about it later.
Starting point is 00:42:17 Anyway, so Lucy's picked out this jersey. It's her jersey. Okay. But she's toot and froed too long and then the jersey's sold out and there's none of her size left. I hate when that happens. She's found one. One of this jersey. But she's toot and froed too long and then the jersey sold out and there's none of her size left. I hate when that happens. She's found one. One of this jersey at a small store
Starting point is 00:42:31 in New Zealand. Right. And she's contacted them and they said, yeah, we've got one left in that colour. You can have it. Cool. Purchases it. Buys it. And it finally arrives. The journey, you think, is complete. No. You've heard this story. The security tag was still attached.
Starting point is 00:42:48 So she can't wear it. I try and get the security tag off. Can't be taken off. She contacts the company, and they said, send us the jersey back, and we'll remove the security tag. Which is punishing. Yeah, and finally got the jersey. Then you have to put it in a courier bag, send it back.
Starting point is 00:43:04 Another week and a half goes by. Jersey finally comes back. No security tag attached anymore. She puts it on. It's jersey day. It's time to wear the jersey. Wonderful, right? Puts it on.
Starting point is 00:43:14 Sees that the thread in the cuff of the jersey is unravelling and it's a knitted jersey to the point that if it wasn't addressed, the whole thing would unravel and it would turn into a sleeveless vest. Is that where the security tag was? No, it wasn't. Different part. Different issue with the jersey. So she's contacted the company who makes the jersey
Starting point is 00:43:34 and they've said, okay, we're going to have to send the jersey back. We'll repair it. It's fine. We'll repair the jersey. Absolutely fine. So she gives the jersey back. This is her dream jersey that she's wanted. So she's had to give the jersey back and they send it away. That's fine. So she gives the jersey back. This is her dream jersey that she's wanted. So she's had to give the jersey back.
Starting point is 00:43:47 And they send it away. That's fine. They're going to repair the jersey free of charge. Okay. And fast forward another two weeks, and this morning the man in the red suit knocks on our door. And wouldn't you know it, it's the jersey. It's finally returned.
Starting point is 00:44:01 It's been sent back twice. It's finally here. And? And she opens the box, and they've sent her someone else's jersey. Oh, Lord. I've never been on a more epic quest. This jersey, the journey of this jersey is more like Lord of the Rings. You know, there's a good omen in this story
Starting point is 00:44:20 and it's like when you are forcing something with one true love and you think you're meant to be together and you're soulmates and sometimes you just need to look at them and realise that, you know, they've probably got the security tag left on them. That person has a security or their thread's unravelling. Exactly. Or they're someone else's jersey. In otherwise known as baggage.
Starting point is 00:44:44 Bree and Clint. Look, about, what is it now, three weeks ago, four weeks ago, Someone else's jersey. In otherwise, otherwise known as baggage. Look, about, what is it now? Three weeks ago? Four weeks ago, I moved in with my partner. We took the plunge. It's not a big deal, guys, okay? No, everyone stop making a big deal out of it. Stop asking me.
Starting point is 00:44:57 It's not a big deal, okay? Yeah, guys, it's just a normal part of life. Yeah. Anyway, when we've moved into the same room, we're obviously putting all our stuff together, and the conversation has come up, you know, in the last couple of weeks where I've said, should we get a TV for the room? Oh, big move. There's a perfect spot on the wall for it. It would, you know, you could watch it in the morning or at night time without having to hold the laptop on your legs.
Starting point is 00:45:26 It'd be lovely. Anyway, we didn't see eye to eye and the answer was no. It's a no for the TV in the room. So I kind of gave up on that dream and I thought, okay, that's fair enough. I'll compromise. It's fine. And then I kind of caught her at a weak moment on the weekend. Good.
Starting point is 00:45:45 That's the way to do relationships. Yeah, because that's what I was waiting. Pounce on them when they're vulnerable. Yeah, that's what I was waiting for. And we were both quite hungover. Yeah. Oh, perfect timing. Yeah, perfect timing.
Starting point is 00:45:54 Because they don't care at that point. Exactly. They just want you to stop talking. They're not thinking, you know, completely normal. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I thought, oh, you know what would be great right now? Because, you know, we're obviously not going to get out of bed all day. It would be a TV for the wall.
Starting point is 00:46:08 Perfect timing. But wait, I hit her with the one too because I said to her, I said, I've found, you know, because she wants a piece of art for the room, which I was keen on that too. And I thought, oh, that'd be really nice. And I found this TV that Samsung do. Oh, the frame? It's the Samsung frame TV and it doubles as a piece of art
Starting point is 00:46:26 but then also a smart TV. Genius. It's amazing. So you've compromised with her but in actual fact, you've got everything you wanted. Exactly. Yeah, that's genius.
Starting point is 00:46:34 Anyway, I just kind of slipped this, you know, Samsung frame TV into conversation. I was like, oh, have you seen this TV? It's amazing. Yeah, let me guess. You've got a Samsung frame TV? It's getting installed tomorrow. Well done. Well done.
Starting point is 00:46:46 Well done. That's good work from you. And that's how you play the game. People who are anti-bedroom TVs, I'm trying to understand them because there's an adage that goes, when you bring a television into the bedroom, that's the end of your romantic relationship. It ruins the sacredness of the room. You are
Starting point is 00:47:07 intruding on the sanctity of your marriage. You don't talk as much. That's the last time you two will ever make love. That's the point. Yeah, right? I want to do something else. I just want to watch Netflix in peace. So are you pro? I'm going to be with you for a long time. We'll get there. Yeah. And I'm saying this very vocally. My wife is pro TV as well. Is she pro TV?
Starting point is 00:47:31 Yeah, we just don't have the space. That's the issue. Amazing. So you're both pro TV. We're a pro TV couple. Absolutely. And eventually at some point in your lives, you know, maybe it's when you move, whatever, you're going to have a TV in the room.
Starting point is 00:47:43 I love it. When we have the wall space or the shelf space, we'll have it absolutely on the television. When it fits well. Yeah. I want to know from the producers, just a quick poll. Producer Ben, pro TV in the room, yes or no? I'd say no, but I've never had one, but I just don't like the idea of it.
Starting point is 00:47:59 You don't know what you're missing out on. Okay, so you are here as one of those people. What's the idea, sorry? I just haven't. I've never had one, but I just don't like the idea. What's the idea? Sitting and watching just TV, I'm like, you can watch it in the lounge. But you can also watch it in your bed when you're laying.
Starting point is 00:48:14 How good's laying? You won't go to sleep till like 1am though. That's the point. Okay, no, that's fine. You're a no. Producer Ellie. Clearly I'm a yes to TVs in the room. Yes, please.
Starting point is 00:48:24 Not only are you a yes, she's got like a 60-inch TV at the foot of her bed. Yours is a bit over the top. Yeah, a little bit. A little bit over the top. It's bigger than your headboard. Screening your own movies? Are you charging people to come in there? Like, what are you doing?
Starting point is 00:48:38 Let's take the mood of the nation on this one. Let's chuck it out there on 0800DIALS.M. TVs in the bedroom, yay or nay? Yeah. Are you pro or are you against? Let's finally get to the bottom of it. Did you have to convince your partner to become a TV person and then did they come to you afterwards and they're like, babe, I take
Starting point is 00:48:56 it all back. You were right all along. I love it. I love TV in the bedroom. The best thing we ever did. 0800DIALZM to have your say or you can text us on 9696. Bree and Clint. We're in the bedroom with you this afternoon. Yeah, that's right. And we're getting to the bottom of a conversation that a lot of people would have,
Starting point is 00:49:15 mostly in relationships, because that's not the only time where you have to really have this conversation. Yeah, it's a question about bringing a certain type of device into the bedroom. That's right. And we're talking about a television. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:26 Should a TV be in the bedroom? You and I are both pro. You're so pro that you've managed to get one in the bedroom. Yeah, we disagreed, my partner and I, on the TV in the bedroom and I managed to entice my partner with the Samsung frame, which also doubles. I mean, most of the time we'll have it on art mode because it looks like a piece of art. You say that. You're going to have it on RuPaul. I mean, most of the time we'll have it on art mode because it looks like a piece of art.
Starting point is 00:49:45 You say that. You're going to have it on RuPaul's Drag Race 100% of the time. Yeah, well, I know that. But I used it to lure. Let's ask another Bree. Hi, Bree. Hi, Bree. Hi, guys.
Starting point is 00:49:56 How are you doing? Good. How are you? Very good. Very good. Take us into your bedroom, please, an intimate space. Is there a TV present? So I do have a TV present in my bedroom.
Starting point is 00:50:07 However, I live in a flat. So I feel like having your own home and living in a flat are two different situations, which require different opinions, I guess. So you need a TV in there so you can avoid the traffic jam with the TV in the lounge, right? Basically, yeah. Okay, so if you are living with your long-term partner and you
Starting point is 00:50:27 guys have got your own house, would you allow a TV in the bedroom? I wouldn't necessarily find it if I wanted one, but I don't think it's necessary. It's not about necessity though. It's about luxury.
Starting point is 00:50:44 Yeah, and watching something on a Sunday. It's about luxury. Yeah. Yeah. And watching something on a Sunday. We're going to put you down as a no to a TV in the bedroom. Okay, that's a no. Fair. Yeah. Okay, let's go to an anonymous person. Oh, this is.
Starting point is 00:50:52 Oh, anonymous. Hello. I didn't know it was that controversial. Hi, anonymous. Hi. Are you someone who really wants a TV in the bedroom, but your partner won't allow it? No.
Starting point is 00:51:03 I've recently broken up with my partner for four years. That's alright, thank you. I'm anti-TV because it ruined our romance 100%. So you can vouch for the fact that the TV... This is important for Bree.
Starting point is 00:51:19 Because Bree's still in the honeymoon phase. They've literally just moved in together. Well, actually, I don't know if I want to hear this, to be honest. Yeah, within three weeks of moving in together, Brie's put on a TV. What's your advice to Brie, Anonymous? I would advise turning it on only when you need it on, if you both want to watch TV. Okay, good.
Starting point is 00:51:38 So if you're watching something together. Yeah, because my ex tended to watch a lot of the programs he wanted to watch. So I just sit there on my phone and hate it. See, that's not right in the first place, to be honest, Anonymous. Nothing like a bit of UFC on the TV to get a girl in the mood, right? Serene's here. Hi, Serene. Hi, Serene. Hi.
Starting point is 00:52:01 It's two votes no TV in the bedroom so far. We're outnumbered. Yeah, what's your opinion? Yes, there should be TV in the bedroom. We've been going 10 years during lockdown and it's still working. Yeah, right. Nothing wrong with our romance. That's what I was going to ask. Has it impacted your love life? Not at all. See, I'm sure Serene would probably say it's sometimes, you know, good background noise when you want to put a mask over what's really going on.
Starting point is 00:52:32 I see what you're saying, a bit of background noise, yeah. Just, Serene, before you go, how many inches in your bedroom? It's a 32 inch. Oh, not bad. Yeah, modest but not too bad. Yeah, I mean. Yeah, I like it. Okay, it's 2-1.
Starting point is 00:52:45 Let's get these votes through. Logan, TV in the too bad. Yeah, I mean. Yeah, I like it. Okay, it's 2-1. Let's get these votes through. Logan, TV in the bedroom or no? Yes, definitely. And how long have you had one in your relationship for? Probably the whole time, so two years. And your partner's okay with it? Yeah. Yeah, okay, cool.
Starting point is 00:53:00 She's happy with the size? Yeah. No complaints? No, definitely not. She doesn't want to trade it in for a bigger model? Yeah. What about a smart version of the... No, I like it. Okay, it's two all.
Starting point is 00:53:15 Let's go to the deciding vote then. Oh, this is the deciding, yeah. Rob, you're going to make the decision for the whole country. TVs in the bedroom. Is it yes or no? Definitely a yes, mate. Yes, Robbie. Yes, well done.
Starting point is 00:53:28 You can even get Netflix put on it, which is nice. And you can literally Netflix and chill. Yeah. There you go. Thanks, Rob. You've been very helpful. Thanks, Rob. No, it's totally fine.
Starting point is 00:53:38 I was about to say, my father basically got kicked out to the garage, so. What, for having the TV in the room? Well, he's not allowed a TV in the room, but he's got a 95-inch in the lounge, so he took it 75 hours to the garage. Damn. I had to stop Mitch James for that.
Starting point is 00:53:54 That's impressive. A 95-inch? A 95-inch? Yeah. Yeah, all the way out in Kimi, if you remember me, chocolate man. Oh, Rob. Oh, it's Rob.
Starting point is 00:54:04 Thanks, Rob. Love you, mate. See you soon. See you, guys. chocolate man. Yeah. Oh, Rob. All right. Oh, it's Rob. Thanks, Rob. Love you, mate. See you soon. See you, guys. Birthday bangers next. Oh, $800 at him if you want to know what your birthday banger is. Bree and Clint. Bree and Clint.
Starting point is 00:54:14 Hey. It's my birthday. It's my birthday. Bree and Clint's birthday banger. All right, let's get a birthday banger on for a Monday. We'll take these people's birthdays and we'll figure out what was the number one track on their 16th. Hi, Shania. Hi, Shania.
Starting point is 00:54:28 Hi. Great name, can I say. Thank you. It's not after Shania Twain, is it? It is, just a little bit. Oh, my God. You were named after Shania Twain. Twain, damn it.
Starting point is 00:54:41 Shania Twain. I love Shania Twain. Did your mum rub her belly and she goes, it feels like a woman. Feels like. Yeah, that's pretty good. Okay, let's do your birthday banger. What's your birthday?
Starting point is 00:54:53 23rd of November, 1998. I'm really hoping for Shania Twain, but I don't think it's going to be the case. You were 16 in 2014, and Shania, this is your birthday banger. Couldn't be less Shania Twain if it tried, but it's still a great birthday banger. Love it.
Starting point is 00:55:10 Timmy Trumpet freaks. I'm really stoked. Are you stoked? Do you love it? Yeah, I'm stoked. That one's huge. I want you to win. You're so much fun.
Starting point is 00:55:19 Wait there, Shania. We'll do another one for Leanne. Hey, Leanne. Hi, Leanne. Hey. How are you? Yeah, I'm really good. How are you guys? Good, thank you. Were you named for Leanne. Hey, Leanne. Hi, Leanne. Hey. How are you? Yeah, I'm really good. How are you guys?
Starting point is 00:55:26 Good, thank you. Were you named after Leanne Rimes? No, I'm probably quite a bit older. Oh, right. I was worth a try. Leanne, what's your birthday? 14th of October, 1973. Right, you were 16 in 1989 on the 14th of October.
Starting point is 00:55:43 And Leanne, this is your birthday banger. Well, you're definitely not named after Leanne Rimes. No. But this is... What a tune. Yeah, fantastic birthday banger from Cher. Can't beat Cher. Can't beat Cher.
Starting point is 00:56:03 You can't beat her, Leanne. She's great. Or can you? Or can you? Emma, you've got one chance to from Cher. Can't beat Cher. Can't beat Cher. You can't beat her, Leanne. She's great. Or can you? Or can you? Emma, you've got one chance to beat Cher. Welcome to the show. Hello, Emma. Hey.
Starting point is 00:56:12 How are you? Good, thanks. That's good. What's your birthday, Emma? 20th of the 11th, 1993. All right. You were 16 in 2009 on the 20th of November. And in 2009, this had a number one hit.
Starting point is 00:56:33 Oh, yeah. Remember this from the Black Eyed Peas? I don't remember this being a huge hit for them, but it's a great song. I loved this track from them. Emma, what do you think? Yeah, it's not too bad. It's all right. Girl, I spend my time from them. Emma, what do you think? Yeah, it's not too bad. It's all right.
Starting point is 00:56:46 Girl, I spend my time just thinking, thinking, thinking about you. Yeah, we like it. Okay, wait there, Emma. We've got to make a decision. Oh, I like them all. Cher, Freaks or the Black Eyed Peas. I don't think we've ever had this Black Eyed Peas song come up. No.
Starting point is 00:57:00 No, it hasn't won at least anyway. Yeah. Shania was very excited about Timmy Trumpet as hers. And that Cher song is undeniably a banger. But I've got to go with my gut. I've got to go with Shania and Freaks Timmy Trumpet for me. That's my vote. Is that what your gut is saying?
Starting point is 00:57:20 That's what my gut's saying, yeah. I would have thought it would have gone Shania, then Black Eyed Peas, then that song for you. Nah, freaks, Timmy Trumpet, lock it in for me. All right, I'll do it with you. That's fine. Shania, you've won birthday banger. Congratulations. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:57:33 This is real focus. Yeah, Shania, I feel like we need a boost for a Monday, and this is the song to do it. Well, listen to how happy it's made her. Yeah, Shania.

Starting point is 01:00:35 Did you have tweeters? Have you ever had tweeters? Yeah. Oh, you mean specifically installed tweeters? Yeah, do you know what a tweeter is? Yeah, it's the part of the speaker that does the treble. Every speaker's got a tweeter. I know, but installed tweeters. Yeah, do you know what a tweeter is? Yeah, it's the part of the speaker that does the treble. Every speaker's got a tweeter. I know, but specific tweeters.
Starting point is 01:00:50 Like the little ones. Girl, I decked my entire Nissan Sentra out with Sony Explodes, okay? Oh, they were such a rage, weren't they? I had the amp, I had the sub, I had the head unit with the removable faceplate, I had the 6x9s and the custom boxes. Yeah, but did you have the neons underneath the foot wells? Didn't get a chance because the car got stolen from outside the warehouse
Starting point is 01:01:09 on Christmas Eve. Yeah, well what do you expect when you put that much money into it? The stereo was worth more than the car. Yeah, same in my first car. I remember I used to have this little thing up against the rear vision mirror or else the speakers would just blow it so hard
Starting point is 01:01:27 that it would come off. It would rattle off. I had to put a piece of mattress foam underneath the number plate. Otherwise the bass from the sub made the whole car go... Yeah. Anyway, that was a good trip down memory lane, wasn't it? We were so cool.
Starting point is 01:01:40 Weren't we? We were very cool. I also had an eyebrow piercing. Speaking of... Too far, right? had an eyebrow piercing. Speaking of I'm too far, that was too far. Speaking of. Oh, wait, I still have a nose piercing. Yeah, you'd laugh. I'm still living in that time.
Starting point is 01:01:54 Brie and Clint. Last week I had an idea for you, Brie. I mean, it was right up your alley. It's another shit car on the internet to purchase. So I thought, it's got Brie written all over it. I love to buy pieces of crap off the internet. Or is it? That could be disparaging to the vehicle.
Starting point is 01:02:10 At the moment on Trade Me, there is an original Back to the Future DeLorean for sale. Now be careful. It's actually a Mitsubishi Diamante time machine. Made to look like a DeLorean. Like an official Back to the Future DeLorean. And I thought, hey, this is perfect for us. You should buy it out of your own money. Again.
Starting point is 01:02:32 And then we drive it the length of the country. If we're going to do that, we need to do our due diligence and find out if the car's any good. So please welcome to the show the owner of the 1997 Mitsubishi DeLorean, I mean Diamante, Will. G'day, mate. Hello, mate. How are you? Yeah, we're good.
Starting point is 01:02:51 Great Scott. Great Scott. Oh, no. Yeah, right. Will, no, we won't follow you everywhere you go. As soon as you sell this DeLorean, you're not the DeLorean guy anymore. You can go back in time anyway. I'll just be Will. I won't be Marty anymore. Will, I want to ask, how did you come across this Mitsubishi DeLorean?
Starting point is 01:03:10 Where did you buy it from? Well, I bought it off Trade Me as well. I was sitting at work and one of my mates sent it to me. He was like, oh, look at this. We need this. And I was like, you know what? Yeah, we do. Will, you're on the radio.
Starting point is 01:03:22 I'm not allowed to say that, am I? No, you're not allowed to say that, but that's okay. Let's move past that. That's all right. You've got the time machine. Just go back in time. You need to know that you're talking to two serious potential bidders here, Will. Bree and I are interested in purchasing the DeLorean off you.
Starting point is 01:03:37 Mostly Bree, but me as an accomplice. Wickley just wants me to use my money. When we talked about the car, and I'm going to be straight up with you Because this is a business dealing When we talked about it on the radio Someone sent us a text and said Don't go near that car It's an absolute piece of poo
Starting point is 01:03:54 Now what do you say As the current owner of the 1997 Mitsubishi Diamante DeLorean With 250,000km on the clock Well I'd say that the person that sent that in really hasn't done their homework and I'd like to really know what they were driving because I guarantee you it's not nearly as nice as my Mitsubishi.
Starting point is 01:04:13 Does it have, because if we buy this, we want to drive this thing the length of the country. That's what we do with these vehicles. No drama. No drama. Did you have a price in mind? Like what were you thinking? Like once you drop dead number, if we offered you thinking? Like, what's your drop-dead number? If we offered you something right now, you've got to walk away.
Starting point is 01:04:28 You've got to put the keys in our hand today. What's that number? What would buy it? Close of business, two-day, what is the price? I don't have a price. Make me an offer. For $3,000. Well, hey, are you betting with my money?
Starting point is 01:04:39 Yeah, just fill me out. Fill me out. $3,000. Oh, if it's someone else's money, you've got to raise it a bit. Come on. Count to me, mate. This is how negotiation works. Count to me.
Starting point is 01:04:49 $3,000. That's our offer. Give me $4,000 and you can have it tonight. Come drop it off to the studio. $3,150. And you throw in a cool CD. Yeah. A cool CD?
Starting point is 01:05:02 Yeah, for the disc player in the Diamond. You're working on prehistoric stuff there. Look, I think we need to take this negotiation offline. We'll just know you are dealing with two serious bidders here. Don't come crawling to us when the price doesn't go above three grand. You had a good
Starting point is 01:05:18 deal. Alright. We'll be in touch. I think that was good negotiating from us. Yeah, very good. Yeah, it was great, guys. Really outstanding. Alright We'll be in touch I think that was good Negotiating from us Yeah very good Yeah that was great guys Pretty outstanding Bree and Clint Is it in Bree and Clint? That's Doo Doo That's what people
Starting point is 01:05:38 Who know her call her Break my heart Oh I don't know about that Yeah no it's like A friendly thing What kind of house Do you reckon Dua Lipa has? I believe Dua Lipa, because she's
Starting point is 01:05:46 British, eh? Yeah, she's British. She would have a nice country cottage. I reckon she'd have a townhouse. Oh, actually that's more on brand, isn't it? Like a real suave, like real like posh. Has she got a penthouse apartment in London? I don't know, but we can Google it, which is a great
Starting point is 01:06:01 segue into this next topic because I found this article online that was talking about what are the celebrity houses that people search the most on Google. And Dua Lipa's not on there, unfortunately. But could you have a guess at which celebrity people, what houses they're Googling? We literally did this last year when we were in Los Angeles trying to find Channing Tatum's house. We did. We did. And there are lots of sites
Starting point is 01:06:28 which claim to know. However, I believe one of the most Googled houses will be Kim Kardashian's because they show that establishing shot of it outside, which I've heard is not even her house, on every episode
Starting point is 01:06:44 of the Kardashians. Yeah, you know what's interesting? Kim and Kanye obviously own their house in the Hidden Hills somewhere in LA. They're in Calabasas, aren't they? No, I'm pretty sure they're in the Hidden Hills these days. But it says that, yes, their house is the most Googled house out of all celebrities. Is the location available? It says here, American reality TV star Kim Kardashian
Starting point is 01:07:10 and Kanye West own their home in the Hidden Hills, Los Angeles in California. It doesn't say how much it's worth, but the amount of times people have Googled it, it says here 168,000 times. Oof. Which is a lot. This is why these people live in gated communities too.
Starting point is 01:07:30 Exactly right. Because as soon as people figure out the address, they're going to do drive-bys, people stand in your driveway to get a photo. Wish you would. That's good free tourism in my opinion. But it's interesting to me this list obviously includes a lot of really big profile stars because you want to see what kind of luxury life they're living. But you know what else it includes?
Starting point is 01:07:48 It includes a lot of YouTube stars. Oh, okay. And I think there's a good reason. I feel like people want to look at a YouTuber and be like, I wonder how much money they make. I want to know what their house is like. Yeah, because YouTube's the one where you can go, well, if they did it, maybe I can do it.
Starting point is 01:08:02 Well, yeah, exactly, which there's quite a few YouTubers on here. PewDiePie, he's number fourth. He's, yeah, the most searched house, celebrity house online. God, I don't care where he lives. Well, you should. It's amazing. Okay. It is like crazy ridiculous. Where is it? I think, hold on, let me just check.
Starting point is 01:08:22 No, I decided again, don't care about him. Who else you got? No. He's got multiple houses, by the way. Some in Japan, some in England. He's got them everywhere. Other sporting stars like Tom Brady, people are Googling his house, or Lionel Messi, the soccer player, people are Googling that.
Starting point is 01:08:39 Ed Sheeran, Justin Bieber's on there, Ellen DeGeneres, Eminem. Oh, yeah? People are Googling Eminem's house. Is Eminem's house in Detroit? I hope not. I can tell you exactly where it is. He famously grew up in Detroit and has maintained a residence in Michigan. Oh, yeah?
Starting point is 01:08:56 Yeah. Yeah, there you go. So obviously, yeah, didn't want to leave home. Jeffree Star, do you know who that is? No. He's a YouTuber. He owns a LA mansion, which has eight bedrooms, 13 bathrooms and a two-story gym. Oh, okay. Isn't that crazy? Yeah. Anyone with a gym in their house? Yeah. Oh, is that what you think you've made
Starting point is 01:09:19 it when there's a gym in your house? Yeah. I don't mean just like a bench pressing some weights in the garage. If you've got a gym. I want to know what's impressing you when you walk into someone's house. What makes you go, oh, they're rich. If there's a specific room when you enter the house, which is for nothing else but entering. An entrance way. Oh, like an entrance.
Starting point is 01:09:38 There you go. That's what it is. Yeah. If you've got an entrance way, I go, man, you're flush with rooms. Like if they've got a cupboard for coats. That's flash too. Yeah. Yeah. To be honest, rooms. Like if they've got a cupboard for coats. That's flash too. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:09:46 To be honest, I'm impressed if they've got a dishwasher. Oh. Like a nice dishwasher. Yeah, right. And a bidet. Have you ever been to a house that's got a bidet? Okay, those are two very different things. Here's a question for you.
Starting point is 01:09:59 Why did you get stuck in here? No, what's the song we just sung before for the new game? What's in the bladder? How did it go? God, we just sung it. We literally just. We're not moving on. This is why they shouldn't legalise cannabis. Our short term memory's already shot to bits.
Starting point is 01:10:17 What's in your gut? What's in your gut? No, that wasn't it. What was in? What did you stick up your bum? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no It was specifically bladder Anyway, we're not going to Oh, do you know it, Ben? Do you remember how the tune went?
Starting point is 01:10:31 Do you guys remember? Did one of you want to have an attempt at it? No, I don't recognise it, sorry Ellie, you remember the song? Oh, a little bit Yeah, how did it go? What's in your box? No, is that what it was?
Starting point is 01:10:41 No Anyway, Bree's got a story about a guy you said there's something in this man's bladder and you will never guess what it is. You would actually legit never guess. We've given you that challenge we've asked you to text it to 9696 and we appreciate all of the
Starting point is 01:10:58 answers and if someone has the right answer on there, we will hook them up with the prize but I don't believe that there is a correct answer on there. We will hook them up with the prize, but I don't believe that there is a correct answer on there. This is the title of this story. This is the headline. They said, Doctors remove a two-foot long charger cable
Starting point is 01:11:13 from Indian man's bladder. Now, to claim the prize, we will not only need charging cable, but it's a two foot long charging cable. Yeah. Okay.
Starting point is 01:11:27 So we'll need both parts. What question do I want to ask off the back of that? What questions? Bring it on. Bring on the questions. I got one question. Yeah. How?
Starting point is 01:11:37 Well. How? How? Look, I believe, and after reading the story, they don't go into specific details, but they allude to the fact that the cord, like, you know, when you use the cord to charge your iPhone and you stick it into the charger. Okay, all right, I got it. I know what you mean. He's mistaken.
Starting point is 01:11:57 Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's been plugged up. I mean, plugged in. Yeah, it's been plugged in.
