Starting point is 00:00:00 Hello everybody and welcome to the Bree and Clint podcast intro where today I will be reviewing another vodka soda drink that has come out. Isn't it interesting how every single company in the world, doesn't matter if you make beer, bourbon, this summer you're launching a vodka soda with a tiny bit of flavour in it. I feel like I was cool before this became cool. No, yeah. I was on this train about... You mean vodka soda in a glass? Yeah, same thing. Yeah, but you know how everyone's got a canned one
Starting point is 00:00:31 and it's always got elderflower or rose hip water in it? But why do you think they're doing it? Yeah. Because that drink's super popular now. Yeah. Well, today I'm going to review one which is not sponsored. I just got it.
Starting point is 00:00:42 It's got ginger, green tea, honey, mint and lemon. Bree's review before we've even opened it. Too many ingredients. I was like, why have they put all this crap in it? I was like, just put lime and soda into it and a bit of vodka. Oh, that was a good sound effect, mate. Thank you. You want some of this too?
Starting point is 00:00:59 I'd like some. I'll use a straw and then you can have some too. Yeah. Okay. Coronavirus. Keep safe out there, New Zealand. Stay safe, whanau. You like some? I'll use a straw and then you can have some too. Yeah. Okay. Coronavirus. Yeah. Keep safe out there, New Zealand.
Starting point is 00:01:09 Stay safe, whanau. Oh, where's the straw? Here's the straw. Why do you need a straw? It's just a can. Because Bree's going to have some. Oh, sorry. I'm going to taste it.
Starting point is 00:01:15 Sorry. So will I do lips on the can or do I suck out of the straw? I'll go no lips to the can. Okay. I'll go no lips to the can Okay That tastes like Everything Really? Yeah there's so many flavours going on there It kind of tastes like really weak ginger beer But then it also kind of tastes like vodka
Starting point is 00:01:38 That's horrible I don't know if it's horrible I don't like that flavour What else you got? Oh we're going to open them all I was going to slam some of these On the weekend before the polo Oh that's a good idea mate
Starting point is 00:01:50 Nah I won't say any more We won't open any more We've got vanilla and elderflower Oh this one might suit you Brie What is it? Lemon, myrtle, lime and black tea What's myrtle? I think that's what they gave Jesus
Starting point is 00:02:03 When he was born This is too fancy for me. Yeah. And cucumber, grapefruit and mint. There's a lot of stuff going on. Yeah, a lot of stuff going on. Has anyone sucked on this straw yet?
Starting point is 00:02:13 No. No one sucked on this straw. We'll give you a free straw. Nice. It was a very lovely thought because they sent me the same ones as well. I don't think I like it.
Starting point is 00:02:22 I like it because I feel like I'm drinking but I'm also losing weight. You know what I do like? Yeah. I don't think I like it. I like it because I feel like I'm drinking, but I'm also losing weight. You know what I do like? Yeah. I do love, because I am a massive, obviously,
Starting point is 00:02:31 connoisseur of the vodka lime soda. I always check the back of these cans for sugar, because I hate the ones that put heaps of sugar in it. These ones have no sugar. No sugar at all. No sugar. There's some out there that are masquerading as being, it's just vodka and soda with some light flavouring.
Starting point is 00:02:46 It's a lot of sugar. There's shit loads of sugar in it. You might as well just have a Smoon off ice. The aftertaste of those are pretty good, actually. How good's a Smoon off ice, by the way? Like when you're out. Oh! Nah?
Starting point is 00:02:57 Smoon off ice black? You mean a double black? Double black, even better. No, they're terrible. Nah, I think they're good. I think if it's like 12 o'clock and you're like, all right, are we doing this or are we not doing it? And then someone goes, we're doing this.
Starting point is 00:03:11 I'm going to get you a Smirnoff Ice. Yeah, fair enough. And then I'm like, we're fricking on. We're on here now. This is for my Aussie listeners of this podcast. And you guys actually might be for the Kiwi ones as well. Did you guys back in the day, this would be like a few years ago now, for the Smirnoff Double Blacks, was it a thing if you were out night clubbing,
Starting point is 00:03:30 would you get the Smirnoff, take a sip, and then they'd pour a bit of raspberry into the top of it? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. That was a thing? That's good, yeah. Like a snake bite in a bottle, yeah. You know why? Because the Smirnoff Double Black tasted like rocket fuel, that's why. And I think that's why I think it's so good,
Starting point is 00:03:46 and why you can only drink them after 12. I knew a guy who used to show up to parties with the 10-pack of Smirnoff Ice. And drink all of them. That was his preload. The one in the cans? The cans, you get them in the bottles as well. Can you get them in bottles? Yeah, they come in bottles.
Starting point is 00:03:58 You know my mum, one time, we should call her and ask about this actually, she had one experience with Smirnoff Double Black. What was it? It did not end well for her. She was at this party and apparently these young people were like, oh you should have one of these. My mum, massive Cadbury drinker, drank one and
Starting point is 00:04:18 vomited in the garden. What's a Cadbury drinker? You guys don't say that? Like if someone literally can only have like one or two drinks, you're like, oh, you're such a Cadbury. Oh, no, I've never heard that. You've never heard that? That makes sense, though.
Starting point is 00:04:31 Yeah. What do you guys call that? Tea totler. See, I've never heard that. I've never heard that. Actually, a tea totler doesn't drink at all because they just total the tea all night. What's a lightweight? Yeah, lightweight.
Starting point is 00:04:42 Yeah, oh, you're such a Cadbury. Oh, a massive pussy. I like that, though. Yeah, you're such a Cadbury. Oh, massive pussy? I like that, don't you? No, hey. You cheap drunk? That'd be another one. Do you know, on the topic of massive pussy, by the way, my wife said No, no, this is safe. We've got a spider living in our bathroom at the moment.
Starting point is 00:05:08 And I said, I'm getting rid of that spider tomorrow. And my wife goes, no, don't get rid of the spider. I love it. And I've named it. The spider's name is Arabella. And I was like, you're spending too much time at home, woman. And I said, no, the spider has to go. And she goes, why can't the spider stay
Starting point is 00:05:25 and i said because i'm scared of them and she goes oh you ball sack and i said wait so you're the one that's the massive pussy yeah i said why am i a ball sack and she goes because pussy is derogatory to women why is someone who's scared a pussy pussies are wonderful so in this house we don't say pussy anymore. We say ballsack. Yeah, ballsack. To which I replied, Why do we have to be derogatory to anybody's genitalia? And she goes, shut up, ballsack.
Starting point is 00:05:54 Let's just call everyone a butthole. Yeah, good. We've all got them. Some people like a butthole. Hey, because you're the massive pussy, are you an innie or an outie? Um, excuse me. I've almost finished my ginger Some people like a butthole. Hey, because you're the massive pussy, are you an innie or an outie? Excuse me. I've almost finished my ginger green tea honey mint and lemon.
Starting point is 00:06:12 Oh, actually, here's a good question. What's the standard drink on that? I'm not driving you home again, mate. Don't fucking tell me what to do. One. This is the perfect drink. One drink is one standard drink. Really? You know, you have a drink on the back and then you finish it and you go,
Starting point is 00:06:23 I've only had one and it's a craft beer and it says this is 2.4. No drinking. No drinking. What's the rule? The rule is if you're drinking, don't drive. Yeah. No, it's zero. No, what's the actual rule?
Starting point is 00:06:32 It's zero. The rule's zero, isn't it? No, it's not zero. I don't think so. I think it's 0.04. The rule is if you're drinking, don't drive. I don't think so. That's the rule.
Starting point is 00:06:42 That's the rule. No, I don't think so. I think the rule is you can have one in your first hour. No. No. No, we're not endorsing this. And one every hour after that. No, you ballsack.
Starting point is 00:06:54 You're the one that's drinking and is about to drive home, and you're like, no. So who's picking you up? We've run out of tape. This podcast is over. See ya. Hey, Google, what's the time? It's 3 p.m. Give or take See ya. Say Google, what's the time?
Starting point is 00:07:05 It's 3pm. Give or take a minute. Alexa, play ZM on iHeartRadio. Playing ZM on iHeartRadio. Hey Siri, when are Brie and Clint on? Brie and Clint are on air in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Cut everybody. Brie and Clint live for another day.
Starting point is 00:07:23 Another day. G'day guys. Hello. Another dollar. That'day, guys. Hello. Another dollar. That's not a very motivating thing to say, is it? Another day, another opportunity. What my pa used to say, he'd always say to me, he's like, you shouldn't live to work. You should work to live.
Starting point is 00:07:40 Yeah, that's a good way to look at it. Is that the saying or have I totally screwed it? No, that's the right way around, yeah. That is? Your life shouldn't be about work. Yeah, you shouldn't live way to look at it. Is that the saying or have I totally screwed it? No, that's the right way around, yeah. That is? Your life shouldn't be about work. Yeah, you shouldn't live to just go to work. You should be doing work. To go and live and do stuff.
Starting point is 00:07:51 To fund your lifestyle. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Thanks, Pa. I actually have become obsessed with this Facebook page that I follow where people just buy a van and they turn it into a home.
Starting point is 00:08:03 Yeah. And they get like six dogs and then they put the dogs underneath the bed in the van and then they just travel around. Yeah, it's not as romantic as you think. Yeah, I know. It's a lot of using public toilets. Not if you put a toilet on the van. And looking for free Wi-Fi.
Starting point is 00:08:21 It'll be fun for a little bit. I'm just saying, you bought a luxury van of sorts recently, the Venute. Remember when we drove that around? I mean, it was probably the loudest road trip I've ever had. Yeah, the loudest windiest time I've ever had inside with the windows rolled up.
Starting point is 00:08:38 Just take it with a pinch of salt. Well, if this goes badly, all I'm saying is I'm going to probably buy a van. And a good Instagram filter can make any lifestyle seem attractive. Yeah, you've got a point. Yeah, right? On the show today, as you know, it's all anybody's
Starting point is 00:08:54 talking about $100,000. You could buy the van. Actually, screw the van. Buy yourself a house. Put a deposit on a real house. Something without wheels. $100,000. 4 o'clock and 5 o'clock. Review those clues. Get on the phones with us. The activators will play a couple of minutes before 4
Starting point is 00:09:09 and a couple of minutes before 5 o'clock. Yeah, that's going to be awesome. Also, Producer Ben, do we know how much is up for grabs in the What's the Plot game this afternoon? Oh, our movie guessing game. Yeah, because remember we're stockpiling the mobile fuel every time I win and it's up quite high now. I think it's at $400 now.
Starting point is 00:09:29 Someone could go home with $400 today if they win. I'd be stoked with that. If you know your movies, you can play What's the Plot With Us at 10 to 5 and win $400 of mobile fuel. That's, I mean, pretty good consolation prize. Next on the show, consolation prize? Yeah, if you don't win the secret sound or if you don't get through. Oh, I see.
Starting point is 00:09:51 You can give that a crack as well. Yeah, good, good. Next though, we want to talk about bad drivers. Yes, is this you? Are you willing to admit to all of New Zealand that you're a terrible driver? We'll talk about it after Harry Styles on ZM. What were you like when you were like, you know, training for your driver's licence?
Starting point is 00:10:16 Overly confident, very eager. I can picture this. And I thought I was the man. I did. And were you? Well, I failed my learners. Did you? Yeah, I failed my learners.
Starting point is 00:10:25 But that's just theory. Like, I'm a man. Did you? Yeah, I failed my learners. But that's just theory. Like, I'm a man. I get my knowledge from the streets, literally. You're book dumb but street smart. That's exactly right, yeah. To be honest, I am as well. I think I failed my learners once. I definitely wasn't as good a driver as I thought I was, and that's the problem, right?
Starting point is 00:10:40 You get in and you go, I've seen every Fast and Furious. I'm born to ride. Yeah, that is probably not the movie you should be learning from, I'd say. You're like, where's the NOS in this Toyota Camry? Excuse me, it was a Nissan Sentra. Oh, same thing. So you pretty much passed your driver's license first go. When I restricted after I failed my learners, yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:03 Yeah, but that's what I mean. The practical side. The one in the car? Yeah. Pass it first time. Yeah. Um, cause this is about a guy, uh, who he was a brand new driver. He had just taken his, uh, driving test. Um, and he was in a freshly registered car, so he'd just gotten his license.
Starting point is 00:11:21 He'd passed. Yeah. Um, and on the way home, uh, the way home from where he got his licence, he was checking his phone. Oh. And minutes later, he drove his car, brand new car, brand new licence, straight into a river. Yeah, right.
Starting point is 00:11:41 Hard to not say serves you right if he was checking his phone. Is he okay? He's okay. Everyone is okay. No one got hurt. What about the car? Except for the car, which sank to the bottom of the river. How do you tell your parents that when you get home?
Starting point is 00:11:57 Because they want to know, they're like, how did you go with the license? Good news, I got the license. Bad news, I lost the car. So, I mean, you know, you win some, you lose some. You win some, you lose some. You win some, you lose some. Yeah, apparently he dislocated his shoulder because he was in the car, so he drove off a bridge because he panicked
Starting point is 00:12:16 and the car was filling up with water and he was able to get out of the car. We laugh, but this is what can happen when you use your phone when you're driving. Split second stuff. So this was in China. Apparently the fine for using your phone in China is only about $43. Is it? Yeah. That's what it says on this article anyway.
Starting point is 00:12:38 In Australia, they recently just changed the laws that if you're caught using your phone whilst driving, it's a $1,000 fine. I think it's $150 here. Should be more, but I think it's $150. Should be. Well, $1,000. Yeah. Crazy. $1,000 would scare you out of doing it.
Starting point is 00:12:56 Absolutely. And that's what we need to do. But, you know, I mean, I learned how to drive a car when I was 10. Yeah, because you lived on a farm. Yeah, and we crashed quite a few cars on the farm as well. Did you have paddock bashes, though, that you could just do that with? Yeah, but, like, it wasn't expected. They didn't want us to do that.
Starting point is 00:13:16 Oh, okay, they weren't cars for crashing. No, absolutely not. Oh, okay. They were cars to learn how to drive in. I was doing, like, handbrake turns around corners and stuff. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I learned to drive sitting how to drive in. I was doing like handbrake turns around corners and stuff. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I learned to drive sitting on Dad's lap when I was, yeah, I think about 11, 12. He would say, okay, I'll do...
Starting point is 00:13:31 In the driveway? Yeah, no, no, on the roads around our house. Oh, yeah, that's safe. It's Roto-Rua. It's Roto-Rua. We're in a very quiet area. There's no one on the roads. He's like, I'll have my foot hovering over the brake just in case.
Starting point is 00:13:43 But yeah, you do the thing. Yeah. Oh, my God. What, the gears and everything? It's like a primitive driving simulator my foot hovering over the brake just in case. But yeah, you do the thing. Yeah. Oh my God. What the gears and everything. It's like a primitive driving simulator. Yeah. Gears, clutch. When my brother, because he was about eight when he learned how to drive
Starting point is 00:13:53 and we had a manual car was the first car that. Eight. Yeah, he was eight years old or maybe nine. Anyway, he was so small he couldn't see over the dashboard when he was changing the gears. Yeah, that's a real good indicator that you're too young to be operating a car. So you know what would happen?
Starting point is 00:14:08 He would be sitting there driving and he'd be like kind of sitting up so he could see over the dashboard and then to change the gear, he'd have to go under the dash, put the clutch in, change the gear and then pop his head back out and then swerve whatever was in front. Reach down with his left hand, push the clutch in. Pretty much. Yeah. Weached down with his left hand, pushed the clutch in. Pretty much. Yeah. We want to ask people this afternoon,
Starting point is 00:14:28 do you think people are willing to admit that they're a horrible driver? My nan was. Was she? She took one driving lesson and hated it so much. Was like never again. She knew that that was not the thing for her. She never ever drove again. That's like my nonna.
Starting point is 00:14:41 She just said, it's not for me. You guys drive me around. Which is kind of genius, really. And how old was she when she said that? The rest of her life. I think it's when my mum was a kid, so she was in her 30s. Yeah. Yeah, and she never, ever drove.
Starting point is 00:14:54 She just said, it's not for me. I'm not a good driver. That's crazy. My nonna was the exact same when she came over from Italy. She's like, you Aussies are crazy drivers. I'm not driving here. Oh, right. It takes a big person to admit that they're not a good driver.
Starting point is 00:15:05 It does. But maybe you're willing to do that this afternoon. 0800 dial ZM. Are you a horrible driver? And do you have a big long list of accidents or things that, you know, that makes you a bad driver? Yeah, we'd love to hear it. Bree and Clint.
Starting point is 00:15:19 A new driver in China has taken his driver's exam and then he's crashed his car minutes after into a river. You feel bad if you were the guy who said, yeah, you're good to drive. You're good to go. Like if you were the guy who said, yeah, you're qualified. You go, way to prove me wrong instantly. My driving, like what's the guy's name?
Starting point is 00:15:39 Driving instructor told me to do a burnout. It's a test. It's a test. My friend had this tow. The driving instructor told me to do a burnout. It's a test. It's a test. My friend had this too. The driving instructor said, okay, can you please speed up to 70 kilometres an hour? And he goes, okay. And he did.
Starting point is 00:15:52 And he goes, you fail. Oh, that's not fair. You fail. He goes, why? He goes, this is a 50 zone. He goes, but you told me to speed up. And he goes, yeah, I was seeing how you deal with peer pressure. I don't agree with that. That's rough.
Starting point is 00:16:03 Yeah. So that's what the burnout situation was. Yeah, I did the burnout, still got the licence. Oh, okay, different test in Australia. Yeah, I lived in country Queensland. So, we're asking you this afternoon on 0800DIALZM, are you just a terrible driver
Starting point is 00:16:17 and you're willing to admit it? Jasmine, hi. Hiya. Jazz, why do you think you're a terrible driver? Well, aside from the fact it took me about two years to actually get the balls to get more restricted, I've got a really bad habit when I drive. Oh, no. What is it?
Starting point is 00:16:37 I can't seem to kick it. So I'll be driving along and I'll start daydreaming, probably like we all do, and then I'm either a lot further along or at my destination without realising it. And I have a bit of a panic moment where I'm like, how many people could I have just killed just then? Yeah, Jaz.
Starting point is 00:16:56 Because I don't remember getting there at all. I actually do this sometimes where you're not even, you're not on your phone or you're not doing anything, but have you had that before? I don't think to the extent that Jasmine's talking about. I don't think to that extent. Where it's like I've teleported. But it's like a couple of seconds.
Starting point is 00:17:11 So, Jazz, do you not drive? No, no, I drive. Right. Can I make a suggestion? Turn ZDM up real loud and every couple of minutes, email us the hours you're driving and every couple of minutes we're going to go, Jasmine!
Starting point is 00:17:26 Jasmine! We'll just come on the radio and go, Jasmine, focus! Okay? Okay. Okay, cool, thanks. We got your back, Jazz. Nicola. Hi, Nicola. You're a bad driver.
Starting point is 00:17:35 I'm terrible. Oh, no, why? I can clarify, I've driven to a power pole about four times. Whoa! What do you mean? The same power pole or different power poles? No, I didn't give them enough time to fix it. It's been a a power pole about four times. Whoa. What do you mean? The same power pole or different power poles? Oh, no, no. I didn't give them enough time to fix it.
Starting point is 00:17:48 It's been a different power pole. Different power poles. Okay. Not intentional. Not intentional, but. Do you just have a thing against power poles? I mean, we've got a bit of a rivalry now, but it wasn't intentional at the start.
Starting point is 00:18:01 Yeah. They're not doing much. They're just staying in the same place. That's very concerning. Thank you, Nicola. Anton is fresh off a crash two days ago. This is interesting. A man who's willing to admit he's a bad driver.
Starting point is 00:18:11 Hi, Anton. Hi, Anton. Morning, how is it? It's the afternoon, first of all. He's feeling the effects from the crash. Was the crash your fault? Well, it was me and the fence, so it had to be my fault. There was no one else there.
Starting point is 00:18:28 This fence just jumped out of nowhere. What did you do, Anton? I just started a new job, and I'm used to driving a ute. I got a van, and I pulled out around the corner, and it took the fence with me. Yeah, right. Got a bit of a new side scratch on the van, which looks pretty cool. Is it your van?
Starting point is 00:18:44 Oh, yeah, but the company owns it. So, no, it's not your van. And finally, Bridget, hi. Hi, Bridget. Hi. You might be the worst driver in New Zealand, Bridget. Probably. Tell us why.
Starting point is 00:18:59 Yeah, what's your track record? I've crashed every car I've owned. Every car? Yeah. Well, other than the one that I currently drive. Well, not yet anyway. How many cars are we talking about? Oh, six?
Starting point is 00:19:13 Six? You crashed six cars. And is the reason that you get a new car because you crashed the old one? Yeah. Wow. Can you imagine all the cars where you're picking a new car? They're like, not me, not me. Bree and Clint from iHeartRadio.
Starting point is 00:19:28 This is the latest live from LA with Dean McCarthy. Let's cross live now to Dean McCarthy, who is in America, where a lot of places are on lockdown. The NBA has been suspended. All games have been suspended for now because of the coronavirus. And there's also reports out now about Tom Hanks, Dean. Yes, Tom Hanks has confirmed on social media that he and his wife, Rita Wilson, have contracted and are found positive to have coronavirus.
Starting point is 00:19:57 They're actually in Australia filming a movie right now, and so they are now in lockdown in Australia. This just 30 minutes before we then find out that in California, every group meeting of 250 people or more has been banned. So you cannot have any event of over 250 people anywhere for any reason. Obviously, just to give it a Hollywood angle, every premiere, everything's cancelled until further notice. So there you go.
Starting point is 00:20:25 It's certainly hit Hollywood, that's for sure. So California, that means no concerts, no sports events, no anything of a large. And I guess if you have a workplace that has over 250 people in it too. Yeah, what does that mean? Right. Yeah, I can tell you. I know TikTok, you know, the new TikTok thing that all the kids are into.
Starting point is 00:20:43 Everyone was sent home and they must be working from home. And to a further notice, everyone, the entire company is working from home. Wow. So I think a lot of other businesses might follow suit. I saw, because that's what America is doing, that basically everybody is working from home at the moment. I saw an interesting tweet that said, once and for all, we're truly going to find out
Starting point is 00:21:01 which meetings could have been an email after all. Because all meetings now are going to be emails. Well, you know what? It could be that from now on. Yeah, right. For certain companies. That's very concerning about Tom Hanks and his partner in Australia. Hopefully they're okay.
Starting point is 00:21:18 Yeah. And the thing I would like to know is that did they contract the virus in Australia? In Australia, yeah. Or did they bring it with them? Well, that's a really – I don't know the answer to that. All I know is – yeah, that's an excellent question. All I do know is that they are down there. On his social media, he said he's down here in Australia.
Starting point is 00:21:35 They started to get some shivers, some fever, and then they went and decided to get tested, and that's when they were tested positive. Because the last I heard in Aussie, there was about 50-something cases of coronavirus. Oh, yeah. When was that? A couple of days ago.
Starting point is 00:21:50 So it's not like it was crazy amounts. Yeah. So my feeling is maybe they got it somewhere else and they brought it over. Who knows? All right, Dean, keep us updated. Thank you very much for that. That's Dean McCarthy.
Starting point is 00:22:01 He's our Hollywood correspondent in California, in Los Angeles at the moment. Just updating that news, Tom Hanks and his wife have tested positive for COVID-19 in Australia, though. They're in the Gold Coast. Have you ever had a real grumpy neighbour? Usually old,
Starting point is 00:22:18 usually a man. Oh, well, that's stereotyping. No, this is what I'm thinking of. A grumpy old man type neighbour. Grumpy old man. I had, yeah, we had one that lived next door to my nan once. Yeah. And, I mean, we asked for it because we used to fling dog poo over into his yard.
Starting point is 00:22:34 Some old fellas have just had enough. And if you're flinging dog poo into his yard, then I get it. This guy, though, I don't know that it's justified. A Perth man who only identifies as Steve. Grumpy Steve. Grumpy Steve has taken the law into his own hands to prevent pesky children playing on the path outside his house because he hates them.
Starting point is 00:22:58 Basically. Well, you know what? Each to their own, Steve. This is a clip of Steve from Perth. It's not a bike path. But it's not your footpath. That's... No, but it's at the front of my house and it pisses me off on a daily basis. Every day there's eight to ten kids playing right here. You can see that they're doing it on purpose and it's just the constant...
Starting point is 00:23:19 Yeah, they're playing out here on purpose. So they're not on his yard, they're on the footpath in front of his house. And he hates it. He hates their scooters. He hates their trikes. He hates their bikes. So much so that he's decided to install a homemade speed bump. Ooh, interesting.
Starting point is 00:23:38 On the footpath outside his house, he has bolted a plank of wood to the concrete. So it can't be ridden over. That's genius. No, it's not genius because if you hit it, you're going to go over the handlebars. And it's not his footpath. Yeah, but is it like super visible?
Starting point is 00:23:53 Is it super visible? It's just a piece of wood. Like if you're biking along, you could probably miss it. But what it does, what it does is it means that if you're in a wheelchair, you can't use the footpath. Yeah, that's a bit rough. There's the wood there. You can see it there.
Starting point is 00:24:08 Like it's a big piece of like. Oh, you can definitely see it. It's like a piece of two by four. You're not going to miss that. See how it's bolted into the concrete there? If you're pushing a pram, you can't use the footpath. Oh, you can go four-wheel drive on that thing. You can pram over that thing.
Starting point is 00:24:22 All because Steve from Perth hates kids. It's illegal, but he's done it anyway. Why doesn't he just install sprinklers and make them spray all over that area? Jeez, that's a good idea. Unless it creates an urban Perth
Starting point is 00:24:39 wet and wild situation. And it just creates more kids. I saw a meme yesterday on Facebook and it made me think really hard because I was like, what did I do? It was a meme pretty much. It was like, what was your first job and how much did you get paid for it? And I was sitting there and I was like, oh, I can't even remember. It was so long ago.
Starting point is 00:25:03 That's what it feels like. You can't remember your first job? I did eventually. But, like, can even remember. It was so long ago. That's what it feels like. You can't remember your first job? I did eventually. But like, can you remember straight away? You worked at a petrol station. No, that wasn't my first job. That wasn't your first job? Oh, paper route?
Starting point is 00:25:13 Oh, paper route doesn't count. Does it? Oh, it kind of counts. If it counts, paper run was my first job. And how much did you get paid for it? $12 a week. I thought you were going to say an hour. And I was like, damn.
Starting point is 00:25:25 No, $12 a week. I need to get on the paper route. No, because I count your first job as, yeah, paper round counts. Paper round, yeah. The first job you showed up to where you had to go somewhere and like clock in type thing. My first job was sweeping the floor at an aluminium joinery factory in Rotorua.
Starting point is 00:25:44 So these guys are making windows and ranch lighters and stuff and it was my job to go around and sweep up all the metal shavings. Right. And I got $20 a week. I had to sweep the factory three times a week. I got $20 a week and they paid me in a cheque. How cool, a cheque. And literally, this makes it sound like I went to work in the 1940s,
Starting point is 00:26:07 but there was a clock where you put a card in You literally punched your card in at the clock And it went, and wrote on the card what time you got there And what time you left I've had heaps of jobs like that Really? Yeah I thought they were only on cartoons until I saw that one No, that's, yeah, actually, because I was just about to say
Starting point is 00:26:19 One of the first jobs I had, I can't remember exactly which was my first job Because I was quite young. I used to go to this factory and you have to suit up in this big white outfit with a mask and boots and all this kind of stuff. Yeah. And you'd punch your card in and then you literally, our job was to, you know, like you see in like supermarkets, like the mixed lettuces.
Starting point is 00:26:43 Yeah. That's in a plastic bag, but it's all like mixed. Yeah. It's like, what do they call that? Salad greens. Yeah, like a mixed salad green bag. My job was to mix the salad up and then put it in the bag. That was my job.
Starting point is 00:26:57 We're so industrial chic, babes. I used to eat so much of it. Look at us factory workers. I know, right? You used to eat it? Yeah. That's not hygienic. Well, to be honest, I only ever ate it when they put the snow pea shoots in, which is
Starting point is 00:27:09 very rare. Did you eat it while you were on the production line? No. You did. That is not hygienic. I mean, you know. You should have your mouth covered. It's worse.
Starting point is 00:27:19 Did you not have a face mask on? I don't think we wore masks. God, you wouldn't get away with that today. We wore hairnets. Yeah, right. But not masks. Okay. How much did you get paid?
Starting point is 00:27:28 I think I got paid, I want to say $11 an hour. Oh, yeah? Yeah. $11 an hour? I think so. $11 an hour? Yeah. God, wages are better in Australia.
Starting point is 00:27:39 Seriously. Producer Ben, what was your first job? What were you doing at a young age? Well, I would have said a paper round as well. Yeah. I did it for one hour once a week. It was like the Sunday Star Times. I got paid like $15 an hour.
Starting point is 00:27:52 I did it one hour. That's good. It was awesome. That's pretty awesome. I used to get guests from every single person because it was the Sunday Star Times. What was your first real job? Bartender. That was my second real job too.
Starting point is 00:28:03 That I remember. I don't think I had anything major for it. Did you do a paper run until you were 18? He's still doing it now. It's a bit of side cash. For 15 bucks for one hour. I'd do it too. Can you put me in touch with your last
Starting point is 00:28:17 employer? I'll do that. Yeah, sure. I'd love to do that. We work for them, it's the Herald. Oh, true. Actually, I'll just send Ross Boss an email. I'd love to do that. We work for them as the heralds. Oh, true. Yeah, can we get... Actually, I'll just send Ross Boss an email. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, deliver some heralds.
Starting point is 00:28:30 I wanted to know from people, though, you know, what was the first job you ever did and how much did you get paid? And I just want to see what we get and just reminisce with some people for a little bit. What if there's someone listening whose first job was assembling tanks during World War II? I'd love to hear from them.
Starting point is 00:28:47 How interesting. You can also text us on 9696 or call us 0800-DIALS-NM. What was your first job and how much money were you making? Bree and Clint. Come for a walk down memory lane with us. We're all just reminiscing in here about, you know, what was the first job we ever did and how much we got paid
Starting point is 00:29:07 for it. Because, I mean, times are different these days, aren't they? Why? Just because it's so interesting, even like you said to me, you're like, oh, my first real job was this and I got paid. How much did you say? After sweeping the factory, I worked in a gas station
Starting point is 00:29:24 and I got paid $5.50 an hour. And I said, how old are you? No, not that old. Was that in the 70s? No, not that old. Excuse me, I was 14, and back then you were allowed to pay kids whatever the hell you wanted. So 14, that was about 40 years ago then.
Starting point is 00:29:38 It was recent-ish. Ashley, what was your first job? My first job was at a pizza joint, and this was only about five years ago, and I earned $6.50 an hour as a manager. Wait, as a manager? $6.50? Yes, I started when I was 12,
Starting point is 00:29:55 and no youth rate in New Zealand, so they pay you $6.50, and then two years I was a manager doing in-store. Girl, that was more than five years ago. It definitely was not. 16, I'm only 21. You were getting ripped off. They haven't had youth rates in New Zealand for ages.
Starting point is 00:30:10 Really? I know. Exactly. So they can pay you whatever you want. Yeah. The job was there, so 6.15, that was it. Actually, this is just something, as an Australian, I'm just learning about this.
Starting point is 00:30:21 No, no, I'm saying the youth rates thing has been gone for ages. Ben, can you Google when did New Zealand abolish youth employment rates, please? Because I need to know if we need to take Ashley's boss to court. They abolished it ages ago, right?
Starting point is 00:30:36 But they were still paying you that minimum wage. Five years ago. No, so they abolished so there's no youth rates. So they can pay under 16. You can pay anyone whatever you want. Oh, is that how it works?
Starting point is 00:30:49 Yes, I was under 16 and so I was doing a manager and so I only got paid $6.50 because it's legal and it wasn't $16. You were 12 and working? Yes. As a manager? No, I wasn't a manager at that point. It took about two years for me to start running a business. She was 14, Clint, at least, when she was managing the joint.
Starting point is 00:31:08 Thanks, Ashley. I'm pretty sure in Aussie you can't work until you're a certain, I don't think you can work at 12. You can't work until you're at least a metre and a half. Leah, hi. You must be at least this tall to work at this venue. What was your first job, Leah? I worked in a dairy and I was paid $2 an hour and my main job
Starting point is 00:31:26 was to do the 50 cent and dollar mixtures. And let me guess, you blew your $2 on lollies? No, I saved up for a video player. Oh, nice. So did you get the best VHS player you could find? The cheapest.
Starting point is 00:31:42 We say certain things, Leah, that really reveal our age, and the best video player you could buy definitely does that for you. Love it, though. Thank you for the call. And she wouldn't have spent her money on the lollies. She was mixing them, so she would have mixed them through her mouth. One for you, one for me.
Starting point is 00:32:03 Humphrey, hi. Hi, guys. How's it going? Good. How are you, one for me. Humphrey, hi. Hi, guys. How's it going? Good. How are you? Good, thanks. Now, was your first job as a giant bear? That takes me back.
Starting point is 00:32:14 That was grim. That joke was grim, Humphrey. I apologise for him. Humphrey, Humphrey, Humphrey Bear. What was your real first job? Well, I actually worked In a movie theatre That's no longer there And I was paid
Starting point is 00:32:27 Six dollars And sixteen cents an hour Before tax Okay Right okay Why is the movie theatre Not there anymore Is there
Starting point is 00:32:34 Is there something It actually became A cooking school of all things Oh right That's random But if it's any indication Of how long ago this was The movie that was out
Starting point is 00:32:43 When I was doing this was Monsters, Inc. Oh, yeah, that's ages ago, man. What do you do for a job now? I'm a scientist. Whoa. That's cool, Humphrey. What do you kind of science? Pardon?
Starting point is 00:32:59 What do you science? No, he heard you. It's just a dumb way to ask the question. Yeah, I know. But I was doing it on purpose to show how smart he is and how dumb I am. Let's go to Barney finally. No, we didn't talk to Humphrey. Now we're talking to Barney.
Starting point is 00:33:13 Was your first job as a big purple dinosaur? You guys are funny, real funny. That is an impossible coincidence. That's crazy. No, that wasn't my first job. Oh, that would have been so good if it was, though. What was your actual first job, Barney? Okay, so working for a family business,
Starting point is 00:33:32 Dad was a mechanic, and he decided to get us out and deliver his pamphlet, and it was 10 cents per pamphlet. 10 cents a pamphlet is a good rate for pamphlets. That's a dollar every 10 houses. Yeah. Exactly. And if you dump all the pamphlets in a ditch, that's like $300. No, no, no.
Starting point is 00:33:48 He was watching us. He was driving right next to us. There was no way trying to ditch us. He was making sure we were delivering each pamphlet at 10 cents. I love it. He thought this through. He was throwing the coins at you as you delivered the pamphlets. But he wouldn't have been able to tell if you were giving to three to one house.
Starting point is 00:34:03 No, no, no, no. But what he would do was he would make it a competition. So my sister was on the other side. So what he would say would be, okay, who would ever be the fastest? Because like you said, whoever delivered the most pamphlets obviously would get the most money. So if you got to the other side faster than your sibling, obviously you collected the more money.
Starting point is 00:34:23 Yeah, there you go. What kind of show is he running? The Pant Flit Olympics? Thank you, Barney. And our last call, the purple Teletubby. What was your first job? Is this Poe? Come in, Poe.
Starting point is 00:34:35 Brian Clint. COVID-19, a.k.a. coronavirus, is the only new story at the moment. We spoke with our Hollywood correspondent, Dean McCarthy, last hour, who said that not only has the NBA been suspended, all gatherings of 250 people or more in California are now banned. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:56 And Tom Hanks has got it. Yeah, Tom Hanks and his wife, they were reported about an hour and a bit ago that they have both contracted it and they're in lockdown on the Gold Coast in Australia. He posted it on his Instagram. Yeah. One of the strangest Instagram posts from a celebrity you've ever seen.
Starting point is 00:35:12 Very strange. So this is kind of good timing because it's all going to come down to good hygiene. If we're going to curb the spread of this thing. Yeah, wash your hands, make sure you try and not touch your face. I think that's what their attention needs to be on at the moment. Not like, ah, how do we survive? I think the attention should be on okay, how do we responsibly
Starting point is 00:35:31 stop spreading this as much as possible? Clean your stuff. And don't panic. In that though, what's probably the dirtiest item that you think you own? Or the item that goes into the most places and gets touched the most? I don't even have to think about this. It's absolutely my phone.
Starting point is 00:35:48 It's your phone. We talked about this last week when we were in Invercargill. We did a phone-in topic of do you take your phone into the toilet? And it was 90% yes, people go to the toilet with their phone. I would be mortified for my phone to be swabbed. So there's some advice here on how you can clean your phone. Is that helpful? Yep.
Starting point is 00:36:04 Okay. Consumer New Zealand says the best way to disinfect your phone is to use a soft, slightly damp microfiber cloth and that will remove most of the germs from your phone. Okay, what if I don't have that? A microfiber thing? Yeah. You do. It's like a sunglasses cloth.
Starting point is 00:36:24 Oh. The cloth in there, that's microfiber. Oh, I don't want to use what I wipe my sunglasses with to wipe my phone, though. Yeah, but surely you've got old sunglasses with an old cloth in there. Yeah, maybe. Use a regular cloth if you want. If your phone has a case, you need to remove your phone from the case and clean the case itself. I guess you could chuck it in the dishwasher.
Starting point is 00:36:43 Well, you could. It's plastic. You do, though. Put it in the washing machine. To get it completely clean, you need to let your case dry fully before you put it back on your phone. Otherwise, it's going to harbour more bacteria because it's wet.
Starting point is 00:36:59 Apple, actually I said you can just use a towel, Apple have said that you should avoid using towels or any abrasive cloth or paper towels. You shouldn't use paper towels. Really? On an iPhone because of the risk of scratching it. But if you don't care.
Starting point is 00:37:15 I mean, the amount of times I've dropped this thing. Yeah, right? It sits in your pocket. Yeah. Like it literally sits against denim. Paper towel is least of my phone's worries, I think. It says you should avoid using aerosol sprays, bleaches and abrasives.
Starting point is 00:37:33 This just sounds like a bloody fun time, doesn't it? Right? I was just saying to Ben before that we should just get a jug of water in here and you should just dunk your phone in the water. No, no, no. No. Surely it's waterproof.
Starting point is 00:37:44 I don't know if your one's waterproof. I know my it's waterproof. I don't know if your one's waterproof. I know my Samsung's waterproof. I don't know about yours, though. No, Producer Ben, don't go get it. You sure? Is your new Samsung phone waterproof? Yeah, and so is my last one. I showed you.
Starting point is 00:37:53 I've put mine in water. I don't know if this phone is. You don't know. This is waterproof. Watch. Look. Here's my phone. Here's some water.
Starting point is 00:38:01 Yeah, pour it into the hole in the bottom. Pour it in the hole in the bottom. It's good. It's good. It's good. Okay, well, now you've infected all of the floor with whatever was on your phone. Gross contamination is real. Disgusting.
Starting point is 00:38:12 Anyway, here's how to keep your phone safe from COVID. Brie and Clint. Once upon a time, there was a girl. She was smart, debatable, talented, athletic. Not really. Picking a movie based on just the plot line? That she can do. Brie and Clint's What The Plot.
Starting point is 00:38:41 It's our movie guessing game where you go head to head with Brie to try and guess what film I'm talking about. That's right. When we're playing for mobile fuel and we've changed the rules this year, every time someone loses or I beat someone, it jackpots. Yeah, the money goes up. We're at $400. That's a good amount to win.
Starting point is 00:39:00 It's a really good amount. But probably not going to happen. Grace is a huge fan of What's the Plot, but you've never played. Hi, Grace. Hi, Grace. Hi. Welcome along. Welcome to the big time.
Starting point is 00:39:10 You're playing for $400. You know your movies? I'm pretty sure. Like, a few weeks ago, I was listening, and I was naming them. Yeah, okay. All right. Cool. No worries.
Starting point is 00:39:20 We have a theme running this week due to the toilet paper apocalypse that we're facing. The theme of today's films is movies that have toilet scenes. Right, okay. Famous toilet scenes. I can't really think of what that would be. Grace, don't wait for me to finish the movie plot. Buzz in with your name as soon as you think you know what it is. Here's the first one. Ted's dream prom date never happened.
Starting point is 00:39:53 Brie. Something about Mary. Something about Mary is correct. Is it the Frank or the beans? I don't know. It looks like I think it's a little bit of both. Franks and beans! Franks and beans!
Starting point is 00:40:08 Franks and beans! We've got a bleeder! That's the scene where, um, what's his name? Something gets stuck. Yeah. Ted's Franks and beans. Who plays Ted? Um, Ben Stiller.
Starting point is 00:40:21 Ben Stiller's Frank and beans get caught in his fly. Yeah. How'd you get the Franks above the Beans? Here we go. Monica. Sorry, Grace, you're still in the game. Yeah. Movie number two.
Starting point is 00:40:33 In his second adventure, this super spy must return to 1969. Brie. Brie. Grace. Brie first, and if she gets it wrong, Grace, you have a free guess. Austin Powers. The Spy Who Shagged Me. That's absolutely correct.
Starting point is 00:40:52 Yes! Oh, my God! Fat Bastard left a floater. I don't remember eating corn. Of course, the scene where Fat Bastard drops the tracking device that was inserted into his anus into the toilet. What brilliant, brilliant television. Seeing as I'm enjoying the toilet round so much,
Starting point is 00:41:15 we're going to do the last question anyway, Grace. Do you want to play the last question? Yeah, sure. This is for nothing, but just for pride. It's for pride, yeah. Here we go. Final movie. Ellen and Ellie and mathematician Ian. Brie.
Starting point is 00:41:31 Brie. Jurassic Park. God damn it. Get it! I love that movie. Of course, the film where a man was eaten on the toilet. Sorry, Grace, nothing for you today. Sorry, Grace.
Starting point is 00:41:49 That's all good. Thanks for playing. Thank you. There you go, that's What's the Plot. Next week we play for $450. Bree and Clint. This is a crazy story. And it's not a story, it's just something that potentially the future is kind of,
Starting point is 00:42:05 I guess, heading towards. Okay. It's a story about Instagram influencers and obviously people who have big followings on social media accounts. Yep. And essentially they're saying that Instagram influencers or social media influencers are now able to leave their accounts to their loved ones if they die. Right.
Starting point is 00:42:31 In their will. Right. They can leave it to them as like something of value. Yeah, okay. Essentially, that's what they're saying. Yeah. So you're a bikini babe on Instagram. You've got, say say you've got four million
Starting point is 00:42:45 followers and you do a heap to like bondi sands posts and then you pass away and you leave that to your daughter and your daughter's like damn now do i have to do the bikini photos like do you is it your job then to like populate the account with content as well well i'm not exactly sure how it would work because i think people would notice like But they're saying as a result, like Instagram accounts now have a value attached to them because obviously people make an income and make money off of these things now. So they're saying it is something that you can leave, you know, to your loved ones in your will. And it makes sense for the really big name influencers. Okay. your will um and it makes sense for the really big name influencers okay because what i've done um i've went onto this website and i've essentially calculated um how much the account is worth based
Starting point is 00:43:36 on how much followers the account has uh with a variety of different metric systems. Okay. Which influencers have you used? So I've gone for some of the biggest ones. I first did Kylie Jenner's Instagram. Oh, yeah. Okay. So she's one of the most followed people in the world and she has 165 million followers. And what I've done is I've taken how much apparently this website is saying each follower is potentially worth and then I've obviously calculated
Starting point is 00:44:08 that with her amount of followers. Okay, cool. God, I sound pretty smart right now. Yeah. Well, we haven't heard the calculation yet. Okay, so Kylie Jenner. Someone check her math. Kylie Jenner, her account, if she left it to say her daughter in her will, could be worth $1,127,856.
Starting point is 00:44:30 Whoa, that's a valuable password to get your hands on. Isn't it? Whoa. Crazy numbers. I also did, I think he's the most followed person on Instagram, Cristiano Ronaldo. Yeah. Of course, the football player. He's followed by 206 million people.
Starting point is 00:44:49 So I've done my math and apparently his account is worth $1,411,367. Wow. Could you do some New Zealand influences? Yeah, I actually did a few New Zealand influences. Like Shan XO or something like that? Yeah, I did did a few New Zealand influencers. Like ShanXO or something like that? Yeah, I did an Instagrammer called Clinton Roberts which is you.
Starting point is 00:45:11 You have 36,000.4 followers and your account is worth just under $250. You know what, I'll take it. I'll take it. Hey, I'd take it Hey I'll take it Hey, I'd take it 250 bucks, nothing to say
Starting point is 00:45:28 250 bucks for an account full of pictures of my cats and my baby Yeah That's not a bad deal Mine's worth nearly a thousand dollars Well, flex Hey, if things come to, you know, whatever, I'll sell that thing on Yeah, right Why not?
Starting point is 00:45:42 Who would you leave it to? Because if we're bequeathing these things to people in our world. I'd probably leave it to my mum because she's all over it. She doesn't know how to use social media though. Yeah, well, that's a problem. Leave it to your hot brother. No, he doesn't like Instagram. I want to know from people because obviously this is like, you know,
Starting point is 00:45:58 a pretty far-fetched thing because, I mean, how often are you going to get left an Instagram account in someone's will? No, it's not something that's happening commonly at the moment. No, not very common. But I want to know from people, and I really hope we get people who call, 0800DIALZM, what did you get left in a will? Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:46:19 What did you inherit? Oh, yeah. I mean, it could be anything. It's interesting and grim at the same time oh yeah like it's you know it's good and bad who died and what did they leave you essentially you can also text us on 9696 instagram influencers are now able to leave their social media accounts uh to their loved ones when they die in their will i I think it's a responsible thing to do, or at least leave your passwords to someone.
Starting point is 00:46:48 Because have you ever thought about that? If you don't do that, your Instagram account just sits in limbo. Like Grumpy Cat. Like Grumpy Cat. What's happened with Grumpy Cat's account? Well, you know Grumpy Cat didn't actually run his own account. Yeah, that's a really, really good point. It's a really good point.
Starting point is 00:47:04 But I am curious Meow! This cat said meow! My password is meow, meow, meow. I can't believe it! What happened to Grumpy Cat's account? Because he passed away. Grumpy Cat? No, I'm just interested to see if they're still
Starting point is 00:47:20 using the account. Grumpy Cat. Is that what you meant though? Yeah, it is what I meant. Grumpy Cat last Is that what you meant though? Yeah, it is what I meant. Grumpy Cat last posted on the 2nd of March, so the account's still active. Yeah, because I don't think Grumpy Cat had the password. Not what I mean, okay? I'm trying to think of an example that was non-offensive. I can't believe you went with Grumpy Cat.
Starting point is 00:47:40 We want to know what you got left in the will, and Lauren's joined us on the phone. Hi, Lauren. Hi. What happened to you? What what you got left in the will. And Lauren's joined us on the phone. Hi, Lauren. Hi, Lauren. Hi. What happened to you? What did you get left? My nana stole the watermarks from the English bank. What? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:56 You laugh. And she left them to you in her will. She's got, yeah, one. The queen. Wait. What do you mean by the watermarks? Yeah, what do you mean? Well, I'm trying to upload it, but yeah,
Starting point is 00:48:10 she stole the watermark they use for the currency. Yeah. Whoa. Was your nan running like a counterfeit money printing operation? Well, I wish she was. I'd be rich by now. I'd be reading you. Laurie, can I ask, do you know how much it might be worth?
Starting point is 00:48:27 No, and I've tried Googling, but I don't know where to start. Well, do you want to – we should get it from you and we'll help you. Do you want to sell it to me for 50 bucks? Yeah. Posting it right now to my Instagram. Okay. You're an interesting... Don't hear from me.
Starting point is 00:48:46 I've been arrested. Well, good luck and Godspeed. Can you please call us back and let us know how much it's worth? Right. Thanks, Loz. Appreciate the call, mate. Someone on the text machine said, my dad inherited a $1 million property on Waiheke Island
Starting point is 00:49:06 from an uncle he never knew. I always hope this happens to me. That's like in a movie, eh? You get a call from a lawyer who's like, Sir, we need to see you. Yeah. I mean, some people are getting good stuff. Some people aren't getting as good stuff.
Starting point is 00:49:19 Someone else said, My grandma left me her two chihuahuas in her will. I hate dogs. She just dumped her chihuahuas on you. Rach, what did you get left in the will? I got left $50,000. Whoa, who from? Good.
Starting point is 00:49:36 From my dad. Whoa, whoa. Oh, sorry. How bad? Sorry to hear about your dad passing. That's horrible. But yeah, $50,000. What did you do with it?
Starting point is 00:49:43 Did you feel the pressure to do something incredibly responsible that would make him proud with it? Well, currently it's still sitting in my savings and I'm going to use it to purchase a house. Oh, that's awesome. Oh, that's very responsible. Rach, and then you can feel like your dad was there with you when you bought it and it's hard that, you know?
Starting point is 00:50:01 Because there would be the temptation to go, Dad would want me to enjoy it. Yeah, he'd want me to go on a holiday. Dad said I looked really good with a Deadly Ponies handbag. You know, there would be that. Dad loved Deadly Ponies. Jacob, finally, what did you get left in the well? So after my dad passed away a couple of months ago, I got left his Coca-Cola collection.
Starting point is 00:50:23 So sorry to hear that he passed away recently, Jacob. What exactly is in the Coca-Cola collection. Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that he passed away recently, Jacob. What exactly is in the Coca-Cola collection? So around the house, you know, he always displayed, you know, all these Coke bottles. So we were thinking maybe 50 to 100 Coke bottles. We were like, okay. And then I lifted up the garage door and there was about four pallets worth of Coca-Cola stuff.
Starting point is 00:50:41 So there was like billboards. There was like a 1970s cook robot. Whoa. Yeah, that stuff could be worth quite a bit. Have you had it valued? No, I'm trying to figure out how to value it, but there's just like boxes and boxes of stuff. Yeah, where do you start, right?
Starting point is 00:50:54 Far out. Yeah. On one hand, I hope it's worth something. On the other hand, it'd be a bit sad to sell your dad's old collection, eh? Yeah, you kind of want to keep it. Yeah, but I mean, it's like four pallets worth, so it's kind of just trying to go through. Keep some of it. Get rid of the, yeah, get rid of some to keep it. Yeah, but I mean, it's like four pallets worth. Keep some of it.
Starting point is 00:51:07 Get rid of the... Keep your favourite bits. Highly curate the collection and send the rest on its way, Jacob. Yeah, I think that's a good idea. I think that's the way to go, yeah. Yeah, nice. It's interesting. A few people have texted through and someone said, one of my mates was always very nice to one of his family's older family friends.
Starting point is 00:51:26 He would visit her, pick her up and drop her stuff off. And she passed away without any family left and she left him her house. He was only in his early 20s at the time. Wow. That's wild. A whole house. He obviously had an impact on her life, which is lovely. Yeah, and if she had no one else to leave it to, it makes a lot of sense.
Starting point is 00:51:49 Be cool to keep it a surprise until you are dead, though. Right. And then you're like, I left you this. Yeah, we take your birthdays, we throw them into a machine, and we figure out what was your number one song on your 16 my birthday. Free and Cleanse Birthday Banger. Yeah, we take your birthdays, we throw them into a machine, and we figure out what was your number one song on your 16th birthday. We're going to play with Terry first. Hey, Terry. G'day, Tez.
Starting point is 00:52:12 How are you? Good. How are you, mate? Not too bad. That's good. What's your birthday? 26th of the 10th, 1988. All right, you were 16 in 2004 on the 26th of October.
Starting point is 00:52:25 And Terry, this is your birthday banger. Oh, Terry. Yes. Usher. We want their one to play. We want their one to play. You know what's crazy is that, and you might not know this, Clint, which you should being a big Usher fan,
Starting point is 00:52:46 is he's confirmed Confessions album too. Yeah, it's on the way. Yeah. The sequel to Confessions. It's coming. That's the album that that song was on. I think it was on the re-release of Confessions. Also, coincidentally, I've selected Usher Confessions
Starting point is 00:52:59 for my Friday Oki choice for tomorrow. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah, so you can vote for that, Terry. I'll vote for your song, you vote for my song, okay? I will, I will. Okay, cool. No, no, no, we're not making those backhanded deals.
Starting point is 00:53:10 Hey, Amanda. Hi, Amanda. Hello, how are you? Good, how are you? Pretty good, thanks. That's good. Well, let's do your birthday banger. What's your birthday?
Starting point is 00:53:19 Yeah, my birthday, 10th of July, 1984. All right, you were 16 in the year 2000 on the 10th of July. And the millennium brought us this number one hit. That's all I want to go on. Come on and leave me breathless. Take me, take me. The Cause. The Cause.
Starting point is 00:53:39 The Cause. The Cause. Yeah. Oh. How good was it? Amanda's not impressed. Not really. Weird family band dynamic, The Cause. Yeah, cool. How good was... Amanda's not impressed. Not really. Weird family band dynamic, The Cause.
Starting point is 00:53:50 They were sisters? Yeah, but there was a brother in the band, but he very rarely made it onto the posters. I only remember the three sisters. Exactly right, because they were the hot ones. Yeah. And they put them on. Yeah, not the best birthday thing.
Starting point is 00:54:02 Okay, no worries, Amanda. That's your feelings in this one. I quite like it. It reminds me of, I think, Notting Hill. Last one's for thing. Okay, no worries, Amanda. That's your feelings. I quite like it. It reminds me of, I think, Notting Hill. Last one's for Shane. Hey, Shane. Hi, Shane. G'day. What's your birthday, Shane?
Starting point is 00:54:14 31st of the 12th, 1979. Right, you were 16 in 1995 on the 31st of December. And on that day, this topped the charts. Coolio. Yanks. Nothing wrong with that. Yeah, nothing wrong with that at all. What year are we talking for this one? That was 1995.
Starting point is 00:54:39 95, you were 16, and this was number one, Shane? Yep, not a bad New Year's. Not a bad New Year's at all. It's aged well, that song. Okay, we've got three good songs. We've got The Cause, we've got Coolio, and we've got Usher with Alicia Keys. Say what your song choice is on three, okay?
Starting point is 00:54:55 One, two, three, Usher. I knew it would be. I knew it would be, and that's fine. I just like it. I've never heard that song in Birthday Bagger before. We're going to split decision. We're going to producer Ben. It means that all three songs are back up for grabs.
Starting point is 00:55:12 And Kurt and Coolio, what's the decider, Ben? What are we playing? Yeah, I'm going to have to go Breathless. I think the Usher one's the wrong one. It's just a bit slow. Yeah, it's a bit slow. This one's a bit more upbeat. I never picked you for a cause, man. Yeah, I just like the hook. Okay, no, a bit slow. This one's a bit more upbeat. I never picked you for a cause, man.
Starting point is 00:55:25 Yeah, I just like the hook. Okay, no, that's fine. That's fine. It sounds fun. Amanda, you've won birthday banger. Congratulations. Oh, thank you. She likes the song now.
Starting point is 00:55:35 Yeah, Amanda's on board. Come on, maybe after you hear it, Amanda. Yeah, all right. Bree and Clint, this is Birthday Banger on ZM. Thank you. Can't hide it, can't fight it, so go on, go on. Come on, leave me breathless, take me, tease me. Till I can't deny this loving feeling. Make me long for your kiss, so go on, go on. Yeah, come on.

Starting point is 00:57:08 It's like a dream Although I'm not asleep I never want to wake up Don't lose it Don't leave it So go on, go on. Come on, leave me breathless. And make things real.
Starting point is 00:57:31 Until I can't deny this loving feeling. Make me long for your kiss. So go on, go on. Yeah, come on Come on And I can't lie From you I cannot hide And I've lost my will to try
Starting point is 00:58:13 Can't hide it, can't fight it So go on, go on Come on, leave me breathless Tempt me, leave me breathless Task me, tease me Until I can't deny this loving feeling Make me long for your kiss Go on, go on Come on, leave me breathless
Starting point is 00:58:40 Go on, go on Come on, leave me breathless Go on, go on Come on, leave the breath Let's go on, go on Come on, leave the breath Let's go on, go on Zinni, Bree and Clint, that's the cause who have won. We're copping heat on the text machine, Producer Ben, but I've got no regrets.
Starting point is 00:59:01 No regrets. That song has been viewed on YouTube over 47 million times. Yeah, it's been out for 20 years. Yes, though. It's a great song. I like it. Look, I like it. I like it.
Starting point is 00:59:13 Just something different. They were a super hot Irish family band. They were like the other version of Bewitched. They're like the very talented version of Bewitched. Yeah, that's true. Because they played their instruments. Although I think the Bewitched ones had a jam on the violin, didn't they? I think they did too, yeah.
Starting point is 00:59:28 Anyway, the Coors play the violin too, so. I love this text. Someone said, yes, this song reminds me of my crush when I worked at Foot Town when I was 16. I married him eventually. Foot Town. Oh, cute. Where's Foot Town? Oh, no, sorry. Foot Town. Oh, cute. Where's Foot Town? Oh, no, sorry.
Starting point is 00:59:47 Food Town. Oh. I was going to say, it sucks that your origin story involves the word Foot Town, but it doesn't. Food Town is what Countdown was. Right, right, okay. That means that that song was their song.
Starting point is 01:00:07 That Cause song? Yeah. It reminds her of him. Brie and I have done some extensive Googling, by the way, and can confirm the Cause. Still hot. Still hot. Still hot.
Starting point is 01:00:18 They've aged well. I'm not speaking for the brother, but he was never my cup of tea. Or Br Bree's. Bree and Clint. Here's a question. To expose or not to expose a cheater. Have you ever found yourself in that situation? You know, did you stay out of it or did you get involved?
Starting point is 01:00:46 A situation like that has happened to a woman in Florida, America. Her name's Kimberly. She'd been on the dating app Tinder and she'd been matching with people. She found this one guy who she'd been talking to for a little while and she said, here's my number. Let's text. It's easier than on the app. That's when you know you're taking it to the next level. When you move off app.
Starting point is 01:01:06 Move off the app. Anyway, so apparently they moved off the app and he messaged her from WhatsApp. Yeah. And she goes, why are you messaging me from WhatsApp? Why don't you just text me? Anyway, apparently he breezed over that and then they continued to text
Starting point is 01:01:20 and they organised to meet up the next day for a date. Yeah. Anyway, her story is that she was on Facebook and you know when that little section comes up and it says like suggested friends? Yeah. And apparently she recognised his profile picture that he was using on Tinder and she recognised it on the suggested friends on Facebook page.
Starting point is 01:01:44 So he was suggested by Facebook as a friend for her? Yes. Strange coincidence. Strange. Anyway, she was like, oh, I recognise that because that's the same profile picture on his Tinder account. Yeah. Anyway, so she went onto his Facebook, hasn't like added him as a friend.
Starting point is 01:01:57 She just went on there to have a look. And what did she find? She found engagement photos. A month earlier he had proposed to his girlfriend and he was currently engaged. Who's proposing to someone
Starting point is 01:02:13 and then a month later going on secret dates with other people? Well, you know what? What are you up to? Just don't propose. It could have been maybe they'd broken up within that month. Yeah. Anyway, so what she decided to do was very fast turnaround. You know, I mean, but could be up within that month. Yeah. Anyway, so what she decided to do was. It's a very fast turnaround. You know, I mean, but it could be, you know, it could happen.
Starting point is 01:02:29 Anyway, she's went back onto the WhatsApp and she said, hey, is this you? And she's like sent him the profile picture and the Facebook account. Yeah. And he was like, nah, wrong person, sorry. And she goes, you and the wrong person have the exact same arm tattoo. And the same face. And the same face and body and everything. Anyway, so he's denied it.
Starting point is 01:02:52 And then she has decided that she was going to message his fiance. Oh, that's a big step. So she's a stranger to this person. And she's been on a date with him? No. They never went on the date? They were set to meet up the next day. Okay, yeah.
Starting point is 01:03:08 Anyway, so she's decided she found the fiancé's Facebook page through his Facebook page. She sent her a message and said, Hey, are you in a relationship with such and such? This guy's name. Yeah. Anyway, this girl said, Yes, I am. He's my fiancé.
Starting point is 01:03:24 And then Kimberly has proceeded to tell her everything, sent her screenshots of their conversations and was like, hey, I know this isn't any of my business, but you need to know this. Yeah. That's a big step
Starting point is 01:03:39 to take. Isn't it? Especially because you're putting yourself in someone else's business. I know you're doing the ethically right thing. You absolutely are. If you've done your research then you're doing the right thing but you are stepping into drama that you did not ask for. I know. But some people
Starting point is 01:03:55 couldn't live with themselves if they knew that they had the information that could prevent someone from going through with a marriage to someone who's doing that behind their back. Yeah, what if she ended up going through with the marriage, she has kids and then she finds out down the track? I mean, but then is that any of her business? They don't even know each other?
Starting point is 01:04:13 Yeah. It's hard. Yeah. It's an age-old question. If you know someone's cheating, do you tell the other person? If the person is one of my friends, I absolutely am someone who will tell them. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:04:26 What if it was a stranger? What if you saw a famous sports person out in town? Oh, I don't know. This is a complete hypothetical, by the way. What if you saw a famous sports person out and you knew because on Instagram you've seen that they've got a partner and you saw them hooking up with someone else, would you inject yourself into their business and DM their partner on Instagram?
Starting point is 01:04:47 I'm going to say probably not, no. No. Because one, I don't know the full details of their situation. No. And like, you know what I mean? So if it was one of my friends, all I have to do is ask my friend. You've got an obligation if it's one of your friends. Absolutely.
Starting point is 01:05:01 And I don't want to see my friend. Or to at least give the other person an ultimatum to go, hey, I know. I've done that before too. You tell them or I'll tell them. Absolutely. And I don't want to see my friend. Or to at least give the other person an ultimatum to go, hey, I know. I've done that before too. You tell them or I'll tell them. Yep. I've definitely done that too. It's a messy conversation.
Starting point is 01:05:12 We want to know from you guys, has this ever happened to you? And have you exposed a cheater? Yeah. Have you found out and then you thought, nah, I'm not standing for this behaviour? How did it go down? 0800 dial ZM or you can text us on 9696.
Starting point is 01:05:28 Bree and Clint. My God, the texts have just started to flood in. There's lots of details where people are taking their time. Talking about this lady who was on Tinder was deciding to meet up with this guy. They'd been talking for a few weeks and then he popped up on her Facebook in Suggested Friends. She's clicked on it. Turns out he was engaged. And she took it on herself to tell the fiancé about it.
Starting point is 01:05:52 She found his fiancé on Facebook and then messaged her the messages that him and her had been having. If I was going to do that, I would then after that block everybody and I'd leave. I'd be like, cool, here's the info. You deal with it. There you go. I've got to go.
Starting point is 01:06:07 Yep. Drop the grenade and leave. We've asked you, have you done it? Have you exposed a cheater before? Yeah, and how to go down. When you weren't in that relationship. Hi, Rachel. Hi.
Starting point is 01:06:17 Rachel, what happened? What was the situation? So, I remember my partner had told me, I found out someone had missed his man told me. Well, fast forward to a couple months ago, I found him. I knew he was in a new relationship and I found him on a dating site. I messaged his new partner, let her know she didn't believe me. A few weeks later, I get a message back, sorry I didn't believe you and she had another message from another girl
Starting point is 01:06:48 saying that they'd been talking and this and that So he cheated on you in the past? Yeah And then you found out that he was doing the same thing to another girl? And you were like I don't want this to happen to other girls and she didn't believe you
Starting point is 01:07:04 Wow She came around I don't want this to happen to other girls. So you went out of your way and she didn't believe you. Wow. No. She came around. Yeah. She got chlamydia. She came around. Well, don't. Oh.
Starting point is 01:07:13 Yeah. Someone mentioned us, actually, because we're trying to decipher whether it's the right thing to do. This is a great point that someone said. Someone said you guys need to know there are health implications about these situations too, not just moral ones. Yeah, exactly. Like sometimes if you're like, I'm not getting involved, but what if, yeah, there is health implications. You'd feel disgusting if you and your partner were in the sort of relationship
Starting point is 01:07:35 where you didn't use anything because you thought you were in a committed relationship. Horrible way to find out, isn't it? And then you find out they're doing that. Rach, thanks for your call. Thanks for your honesty. We appreciate it. Thanks. Let's go to someone who wants to your honesty. We appreciate it. Thanks, Rach. Let's go to someone who wants to remain anonymous.
Starting point is 01:07:48 Hello, Anonymous. Hello. Hi. What happened with you, Anonymous? I've been on Tinder a couple of times, and you message someone, it's going along really, really well. Often men would exchange numbers with men, so I've always just done a quick Facebook search,
Starting point is 01:08:06 either using their number or their name or whatever. And about 90% of the people I matched with were either in a relationship, they were either just about to be engaged or had just been engaged or about to be married, or they were married with kids. Wow. You're kidding, Anonymous. What age group are we talking here? I'm talking about people who are sort of my age,
Starting point is 01:08:27 so sort of from like 24 to 39. Really? Really. Wow. Really, yeah. How good was Facebook back when you could search by phone number? That was so good. It's so annoying that they've taken that feature away.
Starting point is 01:08:39 I mean, it does make sense. Nah. Yeah. Nah. It makes sense, but yeah, it was just, for me, I'm the type of person who will do my due diligence. And when I saw that, I just... Lucky you did, Anonymous. So, hang on, we didn't
Starting point is 01:08:51 get to the bit. When you find out, do you tell the partners? I've really thought about it, and it's the same thing as the person in your story, Brie. Like, you know, the partner's often there. You can find them through the person's Facebook. Yeah. I'm sort of in two camps, and I
Starting point is 01:09:07 never have. One is I always think about the repercussions, like, you know, somebody comes back on me and says, also, how come you're hitting up my partner? Yeah. Kind of thing. And the other part of me is just like, I just think you don't know what kind of arrangement people have if they're in open relationships or whatever. That's true. Okay.
Starting point is 01:09:23 Or if the other partner knows What's the other partner know? So I'm just like, you know, and I always think of Girl Code, but then I think, you know, I just don't want to overstep on somebody's toes or overstep the boundaries or whatever. It's hard with strangers. It's a really tough, and I think what we're figuring out from reading all these texts too, and thank you, there are so many texts. It's case by case, right? There's no hard and fast rule.
Starting point is 01:09:38 It is definitely case by case. Yeah. Like, I think the main thing is, is most of the time, if you have all the information and you are positive about it, then I probably would lean towards saying something. Yeah, but I would urge you to first of all keep yourself safe. Yeah, well that's the thing too. Because don't risk your own safety over it, but also think about the person you're about to tell's feelings
Starting point is 01:10:00 because it's a hell of a bombshell to drop. Yeah, there's so many texts that have come through. Can we revisit this tomorrow? Yeah, we'll go back to it tomorrow. Only because we've got to of a bombshell to drop. Yeah, there's so many texts that have come through. Can we revisit this tomorrow? Yeah, we'll go back to it tomorrow, yeah, only because we've got to move on. Look, if you're on the dating scene and if you've tried all the apps and nothing's working, well, there's a new dating app. Okay. And it might not be for you, and it isn't for everyone.
Starting point is 01:10:20 It's a bit of a niche dating app, but it could be just the thing you're looking for. Right, okay. There's got to be something out there for everybody. Yes, exactly. The app is called Dinky One. That's one O-N-E. Yeah. It's the new dating app designed for those with small male appendages
Starting point is 01:10:41 and for those who love them. Wow. So it's for men and women. Yep. Obviously for the men who have the smaller appendages and for the women who enjoy that. Prefer that. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:10:55 Wow. So apparently the app's membership is going gangbusters. Yep. It's up to 28,000 members. Yep. Which is pretty good. Small members. Yeah, I mean, you know, it's a small number of members, but it could grow.
Starting point is 01:11:12 Oh, no, I meant small members. Oh, right. Members with small, excuse me, there are a lot of jokes being made here. But in reality, we had this conversation off air and everybody deserves love. Absolutely. And I think, you know, people, it's actually really horrible when people make fun of people for something they can't control. Absolutely right.
Starting point is 01:11:31 You know? And I think it's awesome because I think an app like this is great because obviously I think men who are like that struggle quite a lot. But this just takes that whole conversation, puts it out in the open. It goes, hey, I am this. Yeah. I have puts it out in the open it goes hey I am this I have this if you like it sorry not am this
Starting point is 01:11:47 it doesn't define you I have this thing yes this thing about me and you found me on this app so we don't have to have this awkward conversation now exactly
Starting point is 01:11:54 boom done over it the bit that interests me is that obviously it has to have people from both sides to be working it can't just be a whole lot of guys in there
Starting point is 01:12:02 exactly who are looking for women but there are no women there. There must be women signing up to this app. I've got some stats. According to the app, currently 71% of current users are male, 27% are female, and 2% are trans. And importantly, you can choose from 24 gender identities in this app.
Starting point is 01:12:26 Oh, interesting. Okay. Yeah. And apparently the average size, don't forget, it says here, don't forget that the average size means that 50% of males in the world are bigger and 50% are smaller. Half and half. Yeah. Interestingly, I wonder if there's like qualification
Starting point is 01:12:45 criteria? What do you mean? Like, do you have to prove that you deserve to be a member of the Dinky One dating app to get a profile? As a guy... Yeah, do you have to show proof? Do you have to show proof? Or do you have to have someone to vouch for you?
Starting point is 01:13:01 Yeah, that's interesting. Because what if you go on there as a... This is quite a raunchy conversation, that's interesting. Because what if you go on there as a, this is quite a raunchy conversation, by the way, but what if you go on there as a perfectly averaged-sized gentleman and you go, I am the biggest person in this dating app? Well, yeah. What if that's your, like, you know? It would give you confidence, a boost, wouldn't it?
Starting point is 01:13:20 Like someone who used to play in the NBA showing up to play mini ball. It's just, it's not fair. It's not. It's not fair.
