Ellie's dawdling has rubbed off on Ben.
On Dumpling Boy.
Hi everybody, welcome to the Bree and Clint podcast intro where Bree said she's got something
she needs to share.
Guys, I have something really exciting that happened to me over the weekend.
Did you see a moose?
No.
I saw a moose knuckle.
Does that count?
I also saw a camel toe.
That is an exciting weekend.
I actually did.
I actually legit saw a camel toe.
More common than a moose knuckle, funnily enough.
Look up the stats.
I don't mean to rush your story, but you've got to wrap this up within two minutes.
Okay, well, that's going to be quite hard.
I'm not a quick storyteller.
We all know that.
That is true.
Guess what happened to me on the weekend?
What?
Not organised.
I had an adult water bomb fight.
Damn it.
I was so hoping that would go somewhere else.
Same.
I was like, well, that's what it is.
This is exciting.
So, like, what do you do?
Come on.
Like, out playing water fights.
Hang on.
How do you ever have an unorganised water bomb fight?
So, well, technically.
Like, someone has to organise the water bombs.
Technically, it was an ambush.
But we had bought the water bombs.
We got those ones where you put it on the end of the hose
and it drops all the water bombs into the bucket.
There's like 15 of them.
Yeah.
Very handy.
It's revolutionary.
Can you imagine having those as kids?
I would probably still be able to feel the ends of my fingertips.
Even better, we've got them now.
Huh?
Even better, we've got them now.
Anyway, we were filling up water bombs.
We got ambushed by the boys who chucked water on us with a bucket.
I mean
you know
not that inventive
anyway
they ran upstairs
you use what you need
and you got in a war
they ran upstairs
to the bathroom
but they left the window open
and I pelted
about six water bombs
through the window
and hit them
right in the head
you threw water bombs
into a house
yeah
that's against the rules
total disregard
for anyone's property that's against the Geneva Convention of Water Bomb War.
No, not this water bomb fight.
Damn, you just hit them in neutral territory, dog.
Yeah.
That's like attacking someone in a church.
No, that's like if you leave the window open,
then it's free game.
No, whoa.
Whoa.
Yes, absolutely.
Respect the terms of engagement.
Producer Ellie's on my side.
Their fault for leaving the window Yeah
You've got to be quick
You've got to be clever
Right
Anyway
I got hit so hard in the arm
That I got a bruise
Really
Show me
From a water bomb
Oh no wait
Hold on
Is it still there
Can you kind of see that
Doesn't look
Oh no
I think I can see a little bit
Can you see
Seems like you're faking it
Oh shut up.
Here's the podcast, everybody.
Hey, Google, what's the time?
It's 3 p.m., give or take a minute.
Alexa, play ZM on iHeartRadio.
Playing ZM on iHeartRadio.
Hey, Siri, when are Brie and Clint on?
Brie and Clint are on air in five, four, three, two, one.
Hi, everybody.
Welcome to the show, Brie and Clint.
G'day, guys.
Happy day after the weekend day.
Yeah, happy day after International Women's Day.
Oh, that's right.
It was yesterday, wasn't it?
Are you hungover from International Women's Day?
Did you and all the women get real lit on Sunday?
Yeah, because that's what it is.
It's all the women where we congregate.
Yeah, I don't know what you guys do.
We just have heaps of rosés.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And, yeah, we just talk about periods and, you know.
Is that what you guys do?
Yeah, that's pretty much it.
Why don't you guys talk about fun stuff?
Oh, periods can be fun.
Can they?
No.
Never.
Today on the show, two chances at ZM's Secret Sound.
Four and five.
This thing is going bananas at the moment
because one, the money is so big.
And two, as more and more
guesses fall, I guess
some people's picture is getting clearer.
I don't know, but it is really, really
hot, so if you want the chance to call for that, you'll hear
the activator in our show just before four
and just before five this afternoon. It's so
hot. I went to get laser hair removal
on all my bits this morning and my
laser hair removal lady, Jo,
she was like, do you know what the secret sound is?
All the girls here are playing, I need to know what it is.
As she ripped off your wax pad, she was like...
She was like...
Is that it? Is that it?
She goes, is that what it is?
Wait, wait, let me use this laser machine.
Is that it? Is that what it is?
Has anyone guessed Bree getting her waxed in ZM Secret Sound?
I'm not sure if they have.
If you want to check the guesses, you can find them at ZM online
and have your guess this afternoon.
As well as Secret Sound pandemonium,
the world is still in toilet paper poodemonium at the moment.
It's a poo-ocalypse.
It's a poo-ocalypse and a poo-calypse, whatever you want to call it.
It's really starting to consume.
You couldn't buy any toilet paper this morning, could you?
No, I went to Countdown and bought one ply.
And there was one packet of one ply left.
Right.
And I scooped it up and I thought, well, this is going to be an experience.
You've got to use what you've got to use in a desperate situation, right?
Yeah.
A toilet paper success story for you on the show next? Yeah. A toilet paper success story for you on the show next.
Yeah.
A toilet paper.
God, we talk about some weird stuff, don't we?
The mainstream media only want you to know toilet paper bad stories.
Yeah.
We'll bring you a happy toilet paper story next.
This is 660 on ZM.
Bree and Clint.
I know the taste of my tears when they run.
Bree and Clint.
The world is going bananas at the moment.
Not so much for coronavirus, but more for toilet paper.
They're going ape for toilet paper.
We need to make this clear.
There is no direct correlation between stockpiling toilet paper
and boosting your immunity to coronavirus.
Like scientists are yet to find how many rolls of toilet paper
you require to avoid coronavirus?
I was discussing with my friends over the weekend
because we were talking about this.
Why do you think it's been toilet paper that is the thing
people are going crazy for?
Yeah, I don't know.
Why isn't it canned food or water?
But no, it is water.
It's toilet paper and water.
But why is it water?
Because the water is not going to stop flowing
And you can always wash your bum
We're not in a drought
You can always just wash
But like with food
You can't magically make food
Well you can if you grow it out of the ground
But how long does that take?
So whatever it is, we're in it at the moment
You would have seen going around on Facebook
On the weekend
the two women at Woolworths in Australia having a full punch-up over toilet paper.
There's more action than the UFC.
Yeah, that was in Sydney at a shopping centre in Sydney
and it was two against one, can I say.
In the fight?
In the fight.
I thought one of those ladies was trying to break it up.
No.
Were they not?
No, so one of them was mother and daughter.
Oh, tag team.
They had the giant trolley full of toilet paper.
Yeah.
And then there was another lady and all she wanted,
and she says it in the video, she's like,
all I want is one.
And they're like, nah.
Nah, you're going to have it.
Look, whatever's going on there,
we told you we're going to bring you some positive toilet paper news.
So here's a headline for you.
Australian family accidentally orders 48 boxes of toilet paper
amid coronavirus-fuelled shortage.
When did they order it, though?
They ordered it, I think.
Before this all happened?
No, they ordered it because of this.
Because this is happening, they decided to go online,
and I think they wanted to get 48 rolls of toilet paper.
So, like, a few dozen.
I think that's four dozen.
Is it four dozen?
Anyway, they wanted 48 rolls.
They ended up ordering 48 boxes of 48 rolls.
How much supply?
How long would that last them?
12 years.
Would it actually?
How much did that cost?
This is the family talking about it here.
We got a delivery of a couple of rolls of toilet paper.
Actually, a couple of boxes of toilet paper.
Actually, a couple of pallets of boxes of toilet paper.
So we got 2,306 rolls of toilet paper. Actually, a couple of pallets of boxes of toilet paper. So we got
2,306
rolls of toilet paper
delivered to us today.
2,000 something rolls of toilet paper.
How much did that cost? It cost them
$3,500 and $400
in shipping. Because it had to come on a
truck. Oh my god.
Their garage is stacked to the roof full of toilet
paper. Does toilet paper go off?
No, not if you keep it sealed up.
Like does it go mouldy?
No, not if you keep it sealed up.
Not if you don't use it.
I was going to say unused we're talking about.
So yeah, it costs them a lot of money,
but they don't have to buy toilet paper for the next 12 years for their entire family.
So I guess there's that upside, right?
Like that bill is done.
You've faced the cost up front.
And as toilet paper rises in cost,
you will never face that cost because you put your money down first.
I mean, how long is that going to last?
And it takes up the entire garage.
I had a friend last week on a much lesser scale than this
post an Instagram story.
She tried to buy six pairs of undies off ASOS
and she accidentally ordered 26 pairs of the same undies.
But does she only wear one type of underwear?
Yeah, she's like you and me.
She just wears black undies.
Hell yeah, perfect.
So she's fine.
She's fine.
You're just good to go for the next like five years.
I thought we could take some calls this afternoon
on 0800-DIALS-IT-M on what you over-ordered.
Like it might not have been two and a half thousand rolls
of toilet paper.
Maybe it was like that lady in the UK
that accidentally ordered 48 kilos of chicken that time.
Yeah, yeah.
Or that drunk guy who accidentally ordered 15 boxes of chicken wings.
That's right.
That was last week.
Yeah.
What did you accidentally over-order?
You might have ordered it for your work as well.
Yeah.
You might have been stocking up for them.
Let us know on 0800DALZM.
Or you can text us on 9696.
Bree and Clint.
As the world goes crazy for toilet paper, one Australian family has made the news
for accidentally ordering 2,306 rolls.
See, this is what happens when you get into a state of panic
and you make mistakes and boom, instead of 12 rolls,
you order 1,200.
This is why there's a shortage.
They've got it all.
This family who live in Toowoomba have bought
the entire state's allocation of toilet paper. Of course it's in Toowoomba have bought the entire state's allocation of toilet paper.
Of course it's in Toowoomba.
That's where my brother lives.
Oh, it might be my brother.
No, it's a family.
They've created like a Game of Thrones style throne in the shed out of boxes of toilet paper.
Of course they have.
They've got 48 boxes of toilet paper.
And we want to know this afternoon on 0800 dial ZM, when did you accidentally overorder?
You know, like...
Remember Fletch from Fletch Vaughan and Megan that time?
He accidentally ordered like a bunch of hats.
Yeah, because he only wears the same flexi cap.
Yeah, but he ordered like 50 of them.
Yeah, he's been wearing that hat for like 15 years.
Crazy.
He's going to get his money's worth.
Sarah, weirdly enough, you've done this exact toilet paper over order.
The very exact thing.
Yes, I did.
How did you manage that, Sarah?
Oh, the code in the booklet that you order from was,
I just put in the wrong code instead of 48.
You can order a carton or you can order per roll.
Right.
And I put the wrong code in and 48 boxes turned up.
You ordered 48 cartons
of toilet paper. Was it personal or work?
Work,
thankfully. Okay, well at least there was more people
on board. What sort of workplace was it?
Do you work in a place where you
chew through toilet paper quite quickly? Not really,
no. Luckily, they
let us send it all back.
I was going to ask that.
Because they should have really checked, really.
It's probably a common mistake.
Who orders 48 boxes?
How often are people ordering 48 boxes of toilet paper?
A few people on the text machine, someone texted her and they said,
my mum accidentally ordered everything you can imagine from the shopping channel
when she was high on post-op drugs in the hospital.
Oh, wow.
She came home and couldn't understand why she was receiving all these different parcels.
She also has ordered 22 instead of two bottles of wine in her groceries.
Whoa.
And also 20 kilos of sausages instead of 20.
I think she just needs to stay off the online ordering, I think.
It's not for her.
No, it's not for her.
Or she needs a debit card with a very low limit.
Kelsey's here.
Hey, oh, Keely.
Hi, Keely.
Hello.
Hey, what did you overorder?
So my mum placed an order for 50 individual ballpoint pens
and ended up ordering 50 boxes of 24.
Oh.
Whoa. That's going to take a lot of writing ordering 50 boxes of 24. Oh. Whoa.
That's going to take a lot of writing to get rid of those.
What does she do with that?
What does she do with all the pens?
I think most of it's in storage.
I think she uses maybe 10 a week.
10 pens a week?
Wait, wait.
I'm just doing the math.
End of the day type thing.
I'm just doing the math.
Your mum's got 1,200 ballpoint pens.
Indeed.
She'd be like the Justin Bieber of pens.
She uses a pen once and chucks it out.
You know how he would wear one pair of Calvin Kleins and chuck them out?
Is that what he does?
Yeah.
Yeah, right.
I would too if I was wearing those white Calvin Kleins.
I wouldn't be recycling those.
Yeah, I mean, who came up, can I just ask,
who came up with white underwear?
What are you thinking coming up with white underwear?
Someone who doesn't have a butthole.
That's who came up with white underwear.
Well, who is that?
I'd love to meet that person.
Jane, what did you accidentally over-order?
Train tickets in Paris.
How many did you order?
Well, I meant to order two, and I thought my French was really good,
and I determined that I was going to order them in French.
Don't ask me to say what I actually said,
but basically I ended up ordering 20,
and the guy looked really confused behind the counter
because it was only me and my friend,
and he said in French, I can't remember what it was,
are you sure?
And I'm like, oui, oui, oui, oui.
Oui, oui, oui.
Oui, oui, Jacques, put my tickets through.
And he handed over 20 tickets,
and I was just too proud to back down.
How much was that, Jane?
You know what?
I can't remember.
You went through with it.
You were too proud to give them back.
You just went through with it.
I went through with it,
because I had all these people behind me going,
oh, yeah, there's the English slash Kiwi kid.
He can't speak French.
So I just went with her and we travelled
through the metro for a long time.
Let's do some
translation, Jane.
Chardon, chérie means
you're screwed, lady.
We've got breaking
moose news, New Zealand.
Okay, good.
I thought you were going to say it's Breaking Moose Knuckle News.
No, Moose News. I was like, we can't do that at three o'clock.
No one even said knuckle.
You just heard it for some reason.
I just automatically thought.
It's Breaking Moose News.
Is that an actual moose?
Yeah, it's a real moose. Southern Lakes
helicopter pilot
Ben Young was flying
over the Fiordland National Park
on the weekend, Bree, when he
believes he saw
what can only be the fabled
Fiordland moose.
Show me the proof.
What proof?
The proof.
What proof?
He said he saw it.
Where's the proof?
Oh, he was flying a helicopter.
Yeah, so you can get out your phone.
People.
Oh, have you flown a helicopter?
Have you?
Yeah, I've seen him.
You just whip out your phone.
I've seen him.
You don't need two hands.
You just whip out your phone.
He said he turned around to go and have another look, but the moose was gone.
That's what he said.
This is what Ben says about the moose spotting over the weekend.
I guess I've seen a few moose.
I've worked in Canada and that,
and I'd seen a few deer earlier that day,
and it didn't look like a deer.
I looked again, and I was like, oh, it's a moose.
All right, Ben, I was trying to make you...
His story checks out.
Yeah, I was trying to stand up for you, but...
He goes, I've seen a few
moose. What
is the plural of moose? Moose.
It's one moose, two
mooses. Meese? Not sure.
Mooses. Moose
are not native to New Zealand, but
in the Fjordland National
Park, they did release a whole
bunch of mooses in
1910. Back when
people thought it was a good idea
just to introduce random animals, like
possums. That was a great idea, wasn't it?
Yeah, that's how Bigfoot got out.
They released a bunch of Bigfoot.
Big feet. Big feet.
They released a bunch of them and then most
of them unfortunately weren't
made for that environment and they died off
but then there's one that lived on. Well, so they say. One has lived on. No, that's true. The
last photograph of a moose in the Fiordland National Park. That is the oldest photograph
I've ever seen. It's from 1952. Yeah. So there's a chance that Ben did see a moose in the Fiordland
National Park over the weekend. But yeah, he doesn't have any proof.
Which means that this
moose sighting joins
other mythical creatures
like the Canterbury Black Panther
that lives in the hills around
Christchurch, the
Rotorua Trouser Snake,
which lives in an abandoned
save mart in Rotorua,
and
the South Island Kiwi that Ben saw over.
Yeah, well, we know that, you know, there's no proof of that either.
Was there, Producer Ben?
No, he didn't give us any photos.
No photos at all.
No.
There was that Photoshopped photo that you sent through.
This guy that was flying the helicopter, it's clear he did not see a moose. He was
just really high. High up in the helicopter.
High up in the helicopter, yeah, yeah.
I guess I've seen a few moose.
No, wrong.
Over the weekend, I had a ripping weekend.
Went to the Coromandel, a little place called Ha-Hay.
It's a beautiful spot.
Beautiful.
And I had a really, I guess, nice moment where I felt a sense of community.
Oh, right.
I felt a sense of togetherness.
Yes.
And I just felt a sense of, I guess, generosity.
Did you go to a school gala?
No, no. Bobbing for apples at a school gala? No, I didn't do that. Buying all those toffee
apples that's wrapped in red cellophane? Oh, how could it be toffee apples? Yeah.
Yeah, that was so good. No. So people who've never been to Hahe, it's quite a small community,
like a little beach community. There's not much there. There's like maybe one dairy,
a pub and an ice cream shop. That's what you want. Yeah, there's not much. It's not much there. There's like maybe one dairy, a pub and an ice cream shop.
That's what you want. Yeah. There's not much. It's, you know, getting away from it all and just,
you know, going to the beach and whatever. And I was there with a group of people and we were there
for one of our friend's birthdays. And one of the girls, we were all sitting there on the Saturday
and she was like, oh, she had this big curry planned that she was making for dinner
to feed everyone.
And she's like super into her cooking and like really likes to go all out
and, you know, she puts a lot of pride into it.
Anyway, she was sitting there and just taking out all of her ingredients
because you have to bring all your ingredients from home
or a supermarket, you know, it depends on where you're coming from
because they don't have any of that.
There's nothing at the batch.
No.
Yeah.
Anyway, so she's like looking through her stuff.
She's like, oh, my God, no.
I've forgotten two of the main ingredients, the kaffir lime leaves.
Yeah.
And the musselman, which is like the part of the curry.
Yeah.
Pace.
Anyway, she was like panicking.
She was in full like panic mode.
Yeah, I wonder what the ha-hay dairy stocks of keffiyeh lime leaves are like.
Yeah, I don't think it was many.
I don't think she even bothered looking because she was like,
I know they're not going to happen.
They're two quite exotic ingredients.
They've got beer, milk and bread.
That's it.
And rice, if you're lucky.
Yeah, they've got rice.
Anyway.
One type.
Literally.
White grain.
And we're all sitting there and then I think it was her actually
that came up with this idea because they go down to Ha-He quite a lot
and she was like, oh, we're a part of that community page group
called Hello Ha-He.
She's like, I'll just whack it up on the community page
and ask someone who's in Ha-He if they've got, you know,
these ingredients.
Yeah.
And I was like, that is genius.
It's literally the modern day way of asking your neighbour for a cup of sugar.
Yeah.
In theory, I think that's what every community page was set up to do.
You reckon?
But in practice, all it is is someone going,
oh, how much is fuel at the mobile at the moment?
It's so expensive.
Hey, someone stole a pair of socks off my washing line last night.
Does anyone know why the police helicopter was buzzing around at 11 o'clock last night?
That's all that happens in my community page, in the New Lynn one.
It's just people having a whinge.
Very different community to Hello Ha Hei.
Yeah, right?
This page, it was so wholesome.
Anyway, she's posted it up there and she's asked, you know,
if anyone's got these things.
Within five minutes, there was like a million people being like,
I've got these two things, I've got the one thing, I've got this,
and then this one guy pipes up.
I think his name was Shane.
He's like, hi there.
I know where a kaffir lime tree is if you want me to take you to it.
I don't know if anyone's living in the house where it's near,
but we can just sneak around the back.
That is fantastic.
What's the page called?
It's called Hello Ha-He.
I want to join the Hello Ha-He Facebook page just for fun.
Like I don't live anywhere near Ha-He, but I'd like to join it.
It sounds like a wonderful community to be a part of.
I have tried to become a member and my request is still pending.
Yeah, right.
You've probably got to show some local ha-hey knowledge.
There'll be a question to gain access to it,
like all good community pages do.
Exactly, which I mean, you know, makes sense.
I wonder if there are other positive stories
from people's community pages out there that we can take today.
Yeah, what happened on a community page that you were a part of?
I hate mine.
Like I'm thinking about leaving.
Yeah, nothing good's happening there.
There's so many, like, honestly.
Or, speaking of other good things, literally this morning,
my friend's cat went missing, and the community page,
someone posted up there, I found this cat.
See, that's again, that's a good way to use the community page.
They got their cat back.
Okay, let's take some positive stories.
Your local Facebook community page, which some communities cap back. Okay, let's take some positive stories. Your local Facebook community
page, which some communities have got
multiple pages, by the way, like there's rival pages.
Someone got banned from the original, so
they set up a rival page, and now there's warring
community pages for the one suburb.
It's like this page 2.0, the good
one. 0800 dials at M
or you can text us on 9696.
Yeah, what's the good stories that
came from your community page?
Maybe you got some stolen goods back.
Yeah.
Maybe your pets.
Maybe you sold something on there.
Let us know.
Brian Clint, send him.
I officially am hooked on community pages.
I think they're a great idea.
Yeah.
And they really bring the community together. Over the
weekend, use the community page
in Ha-He called Hello Ha-He
because we'd forgotten certain ingredients.
Lots of people came to our
aid. Boom! Had the ingredients,
all was saved, the curry was made
and then again today, to back
it up, we lost a cat
and someone posted on the local
community page, has anyone seen is we lost a cat and someone posted on the local community page,
is anyone missing a cat?
And it was our cat.
It was two houses down.
Just went and picked her up.
I'm just Googling the population of Ha-Hei.
Yes, how many?
It's a small beachside Coromandel township, 300 people.
Is it 300?
And you had such a strong strike rate on the community page.
Yeah.
That shows that it's a thriving – I guess that's how a place like that stays afloat, right?
That's how you get the message around about anything.
Shout out to Lorraine Selwood, Philippa Hall.
These are all people that came to the aid.
Rachel Taylor.
I mean, the list goes on and on.
Are community Facebook pages the way of the future?
Are we behind the times?
I thought they were naff.
Maybe I'm completely wrong.
Jordan, do you have
a positive story
about using your
community Facebook page?
I do.
I'm one of the owners
of New Zealand
Beatbox Community
down in Christchurch.
I asked a few friends
if they wanted to come
into town to busk,
make some money
for Assistance Dogs New Zealand.
Every single one of them
said yes.
So we went down
with about seven or eight of us and beatboxed for the day in town and made over $100 for assistance dogs.
Whoa!
That's cool.
Well done. The beatbox community.
See, community coming together.
Do you want to drop a quick beatbox for us over the phone, Jordan?
Oh, good idea.
I would love to.
Go on then. We'd love to hear it. please. Damn. Pardon you, Jordan. If I'm not mistaken, I think that was an acoustic
performance of Sandstorm. I don't know what it was. I just made it up. That was awesome, Jordan.
Love it.
Thanks, Jordan.
We love it.
Someone on the text machine said their positive experience with the community page.
Someone goes, a few weeks ago, we had someone selling 50s and 20s on our local page.
Shout out.
I think they mean notes.
Dollar notes.
Yes, that's what they mean.
Right?
Yeah.
And I mean, they were selling them for less than what they cost. Yeah, right. They were damaged or something. Ellen's here. Yes, that's what they mean, yeah. Right? Yeah, and I mean they were selling them for less than what they cost.
Yeah, yeah, right.
They were damaged or something.
Ellen's here.
Hey, Ellen.
Hey, how's it going?
Good.
Good.
You have a positive story from a community page?
Yeah, so I lived in Cornell, near Cornell a few years ago, and my wife lost her wedding
ring for about, we lost it for five years,
gave up looking for it.
Going to move back here to New Zealand and we thought we'll post it up on our page.
My wife was constantly on it.
So we put it up there and then some guy named Scott
came to our aid, said he found the exact one.
We sent him a picture of it and he said he found it
about two years before that.
You're kidding me, Alan.
So the Cronulla Facebook page found your wife's lost wedding ring five years later.
Yeah, yeah.
So we went around to his house and it was a specific,
we lived around the Cronulla area, which was near,
I don't know exactly what the name of the page was now.
But yeah, it was a pretty awesome story.
Can you tell me where did your wife lose the ring
and where did he say he found it?
Yeah, so we went shopping one night and she had taken it off
and I think she had put it on top of the car to do something
and then when we reversed out of there,
she had thought she
chopped him
at the car park.
Yeah,
and he found her
at the car park.
Far out.
You're kidding me.
Five years on.
Okay,
that's it.
I'm a member
of my Facebook page forever.
I'm sold.
Yeah,
I'm joining every
Facebook page
for every place
that I ever visit.
I'm going to say
it was my ring
even though it wasn't
and just pick up
heaps of wedding rings.
Free and Clint. Oh my God. What? No way. I can't believe just pick up heaps of wedding rings. Bree and Clint.
Oh my god.
What?
No way.
I can't believe that happened.
Oh my god, no.
Are you f***ing kidding me?
Bree and Clint's
Cliff
Hangar.
I love this game
because we get some
really good stories on.
You tell us three quarters
of a story from your life
and then people see
if they can pick
the correct ending.
That's right.
We'll hear your real ending. Clint and I will both write alternative endings and then people see if they can pick the correct ending. That's right. We'll hear your real ending.
Clint and I will both write alternative endings,
and then it's someone else's job to pick which is the real one.
Welcome to Cliffhanger, Sam.
Hi.
How are you guys?
Good.
Thank you, Sam.
We heard you're a nurse, and you've got a story about a night shift for us.
Yeah, I do.
I was on afternoon shift, finished in the middle of the night.
So, yeah, it's a bit unique.
Tell us three quarters of that story.
Alright, so I
did afternoon shift, finished up at 11.30
at night. My boyfriend was meant to pick me up
but he decided to go out with his mates
and he had my car. So
I walked a lovely hour and a half, two hour
walk to my mum's house to get a car so I
could go home.
Which was a lovely hour and a half, two hour walk to my mum's house to get a car so I could go home. Which was a lovely stroll.
And then I got her car, drove all the way home, walked into the house and found...
Whoa.
Cliffhanger, all right.
Producer Ellie has the three endings, but she won't reveal whose is whose.
Go for it, Ellie.
Is ending A, found a naked girl in my wardrobe, so I drove her home with my cheating boyfriend in the back seat?
Is it ending B, came home to find my boyfriend cheating on me
with one of my best friends butt naked in our living room?
Or is the ending C, when I got home,
I found my boyfriend in bed with my best friend.
Worse still, in his rush to cheat on me,
he'd left the keys in my car that he'd borrowed
and it had been stolen from outside the house.
What we do know is this cliffhanger involves cheating.
Can I just say, you know what is crazy?
Because obviously Clint and I write our own endings
without talking to each other,
and we also don't know the real ending,
but obviously we've all went down the same route.
Unfortunately.
I was hoping for Sam's case that there was an ending in there
that didn't involve a naked woman that wasn't her.
Esther, you get one go at guessing the correct cliffhanger.
What do you think it is?
I think it's going to have to be three
because it's way too specific to be fake.
Right.
We do talk a lot of BS for a living, though, Esther. Yeah.
Ending three, the one where the boyfriend was cheating
and the car had been stolen.
He'd left the keys in her car, got stolen from outside of the house.
Okay, Sam, what is the correct ending to your story?
I found a naked girl in my wardrobe and I drove her home.
That would have been a very
awkward carpool.
It was for him.
It was for him.
Esther, sorry, no fuel for you today, but thank you for
playing. Oh, no worries.
Thank you, Esther. Sam, I love it.
She's like, I had a great time driving home.
Yeah, talk us through that, Sam. So you, your boyfriend's in the back had a great time driving home. Yeah, talk us through that, Sam. So your boyfriend's
in the back seat
like a naughty dog.
Yeah, pretty much.
And the girl involved
didn't know that she was involved
in a cheating situation.
Is that right?
Yeah, so he'd hidden
all of my belongings
from around the house
in the wardrobe
and then obviously
pushed her into the wardrobe
and that's when she found out.
Dirty dog.
I wasn't in a relationship with her.
It wasn't her fault.
You were so mature.
You were so mature to not be angry at her, though.
Can I ask though, Sam?
You come home, talk me through it.
How did you get down to that she was in the wardrobe naked?
So when I walked through the front door, I heard a loud thud.
And I was like, oh, I didn't realise we had elephants living with us.
And I was just like, it was a very distinct sound.
And when I went upstairs, here he is, butt naked,
trying to be nice.
And I could see something of his swinging on the door
of the wardrobe.
And I was like, I know what I'm about to find here.
Oh, my God.
Well, all of that aside, we're glad that we can give you
the mobile fuel today.
Congratulations, Sam.
Yay, Sam.
Thank you, guys.
You deserve it.
Bree and Clint.
Let's do a taste test.
It's time for another Bree and Clint taste test.
We taste it so you don't have to.
Why do I not feel good about this one?
Well, this is something that I've actually found online
and I have brought to the table this week.
And it's actually a Kiwi product, which is exciting.
Okay.
So this is actually coming out of Hawke's Bay
and it was developed by an Auckland chef and TV personality,
Saatchi Nomura.
Oh, yeah.
She pretty much, it came about by an accident,
but it's actually a product she's developed that is killing it in America.
Right.
She's selling millions of dollars worth of this stuff.
Right.
And it's all done, yeah, it's all from Hawke's Bay.
What's the item?
What's the food?
The product that she has launched,
and it's going very well in California mainly is something she likes to call avocado
milk. Avocado milk. Okay. So apparently the drink has 40%. Oh no, you've made avocado milk and
you're going to make me drink it. Has 40% of a regular sized avocado in one 800ml bottle.
Producer Ellie, if you would like to bring in...
Yuck.
We've actually got our hands on a few bottles.
You have not.
You've put an avocado in a blender.
No, this is definitely...
Oh, my throat's closing up.
This is definitely the real product.
We haven't made this, I can assure you.
It's like a McDonald's thick shake.
It's avocado milk. Of course it's going to
be thick. It's not, this is more like avocado
cream. Yeah, same thing.
This looks like an avocado face mask. Have you
ever had avocado milk?
No. Well, how do you know the texture?
I'm going to do it.
I'm going to try it with you. This is the
actual product. No, it's not the product.
It's not the product. You and Ellie have spent the last six minutes in the kitchen.
What is in it?
Before I drink it, what is in this?
Pretty simple.
Is it avocado and milk?
Is that what you've...
Yeah, that's pretty much it.
Okay.
All right.
Cheers.
So not the real product, but, you know, we can't buy it here yet,
so we'll taste it now.
Okay.
Bon appetit.
Oh, it smells avocado.
Oh, it smells like straight avocado, which I don't mind.
It tastes like really smooth guacamole, but with milk in it.
Hold on.
Oh.
Not good.
No, it's not good.
Why are we taste testing the new peanut slabs?
The peanut slab ice creams.
Health is wealth.
No, this is disgusting.
It's time for another Bree and Clint taste test.
We taste it so you don't have to.
Actually, it's not too bad.
Thumbs down, Saatchi.
Bree and Clint.
Over the weekend, I had a bit of a, I a I guess serious conversation it was quite heavy with one
of my mates um and she was telling me about I guess she was going into depth because I kind of
always knew that her and her boyfriend's relationship was secret and it's to do with
where her family's from their religion and beliefs and a lot of different things around that.
Who's it a secret from?
So their relationship, they've been together for five years.
They live together.
They're planning on getting married, having babies, all that.
Yeah.
And all of their friends know.
We all know.
We've known her boyfriend for years since they first, you know, started dating.
Yeah.
But none of her family or anyone that's related to her knows anything about him.
Why not?
Five years and they live together.
How would you even keep that a secret?
Like you couldn't have a Facebook or you couldn't have an Instagram.
You'd have to have a whole separate life.
Yeah, pretty much.
And she, like it's definitely taken its toll on their relationship
and on both of them.
And she talks about how mentally draining it is to keep up, you know,
obviously the lie because, like, there'll be times where a family member
has to come, they come to town and they have to stay with her
and then he has to go stay somewhere else.
You have to move the person out, take all the pictures down.
They have to pull down pictures.
Yeah, it's horrible.
So what's the reason that the relationship is a secret?
It's to do with their religion.
And I'm not exactly sure and I don't want to say because I don't really know.
But it's something about in their religion or where they're from or whatever,
they pretty much kind of pick someone for them.
Oh.
If that makes sense.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Do you want to say where she's from or you'd rather not?
I'd rather not just in case I'm like not exactly.
Do her parents have an arrangement for her?
Like do they have someone of mine?
I think so.
Yeah.
And I think she has been putting it off and kind of dodging it for a long time.
Yeah, right.
And there's been discussions. And you said they're getting married?
Well, they're engaged, yeah.
They're engaged to be married?
Yeah, they're engaged.
How do you even?
Yeah.
How do you even begin to start thinking about your future life?
If your family's still important to you,
how are you going to navigate those two things?
Well, absolutely.
And they really are at that point
where they just don't know what they're going to do.
Yeah right.
I was hoping you're not coming to me for advice
because I don't have any.
Right yeah and all I can offer her
is my support because I'm kind of like
I literally don't know what to tell you
that's such a hard situation.
I reckon the majority of advice you'd get
from people is just tell them.
Yeah, how bad can it be?
Just tell them.
But if she hasn't, there's obviously a reason why.
Absolutely.
It's too big a deal.
Yeah.
And I –
It's horrible.
Yeah, screw that.
To think that you're never going to be able to, you know,
just love the person that you love and also be accepted in your family
and love them as well, you know.
It's very difficult.
And it made me think I wanted to ask people this afternoon,
maybe it's nothing like this situation.
Maybe it's for a completely different reason.
But are you in a relationship that is secret?
Maybe not from everyone, maybe from a certain people or whatever,
but for whatever reason, are you in a secret relationship?
Yeah, maybe your relationship is like it's taboo.
Like maybe you used to date his best friend or something.
Yeah.
And so you're not ready to tell him about it.
Maybe you're dating your ex-husband's brother or something.
I don't know.
Maybe.
Yeah, whatever reason it is.
I'd also love to get people who maybe have been through a similar thing and you can offer some advice or maybe how the situation turned out for you.
I'd love to be able to give that advice to my friend.
Lots of people in the rainbow community would be experiencing this.
Oh, yeah.
Absolutely.
They would be going through a lot of this all the time. Yeah, yeah, okay.
Well, we'll have all your stories this afternoon. We'll take
all your calls. 0800
dial ZM for whatever
reason are you currently in or
have been in a secret relationship?
Maybe he's just really old.
Yeah, maybe.
We're talking
secret relationships this afternoon.
Had a pretty heavy conversation with one of my good mates over the weekend
where I've always known about it, but she was,
I think she's pretty much at a point in her life where she's like,
I need to do something about this situation in my life.
For the past five years,
her and her boyfriend have been keeping their relationship a secret
from both of their families.
And it's due to where they're from and cultural reasons and religion
and the situation pretty much is that in their culture
they usually are set up with someone.
Yeah.
Whereas they just met.
They're both from the same place, by the way.
Oh, that hopefully will help.
Well, you'd hope so.
They're both from the same place, by the way. Oh, that hopefully will help. Well, you'd hope so. They're both from the same place.
They live together.
And for five years, their parents and families have no idea.
Do your parents want you to marry an Italian?
Oh, I think.
Would your dad be happy if you married someone from the old country?
To be honest, I think my nonna, every time I visited her,
she'd always be like, you'll find a good Italian boy for you.
Yeah, right.
You're so noxious. And I was like, I've got bigger
problems than that.
You're so obnoxious.
Keep the family knows.
We want to know though if you are in
a secret relationship at the moment.
Mandy's here.
Hi Mandy. Hi, how's it going?
What's happened with you Mandy?
So I
have recently actually
told my parents.
So I didn't tell them that I was in a relationship with my current partner who I've been with for about three years now.
Same with me.
It's just around religious beliefs.
Yeah.
But I just got to the point where I just couldn't live a lie anymore.
And I think I was always on edge about what if I bumped into them?
What if I saw my family?
Yeah, the stress of that would be massive.
I bet it's just mentally exhausting for you.
Yeah, and I think, you know, the social media thing,
I got to the point where I was blocking my family
from seeing a lot of the content that I was putting out.
Yeah, you'd have to run a filter over everything.
So you told them in the end.
Is that right?
And was it okay?
They've decided to not have anything to do with us,
which is totally fine.
But at the end of the day,
I feel like it's a big weight off my shoulders,
if you know what I mean,
because his family's accepted me as his, you know,
they've taken me on.
So we're only getting married shortly and my dad's going to walk me down the aisle in place of my dad.
Yeah, nice.
I'm so sorry to hear that, Mandy, though. And even though, yes, like that is just one
of the hardest things ever to not be accepted by someone. And I can really relate to something
like that. But you're right. It's a lot more exhausting to not live your true self every day and have to lie about
something.
For sure.
You're much better off and the people that really matter will be there for you.
It's their loss.
They either come around to it or they miss out on your life.
So yeah, good on you, Mandy, and congratulations on the wedding.
Yeah.
Thank you.
Have an amazing day.
Thank you.
How exciting.
From a different side of the conversation, we got a text from someone who said they were in a
relationship with the boss. They
were like a junior type employee
and they had to keep it a secret. Like
legally, you can't be going around
with a boss. You can be. It's not your fault.
Yeah. You want to date the boss? Go for it.
Do you want to though? Even in like a
workplace? I don't know if you want that on your target on your back. Well, they said they're getting married now. Yeah. So want to date the boss? Go for it. Do you want to though even in like a workplace? I don't know if you want that on your target on your back.
Well, they're getting married now.
Yeah.
So if it's the real deal, you can't stand in the way of that.
There's a lot of really good texts that have come through,
all different situations as well.
Someone said that they've been seeing a top female sports star
for the past couple of years.
I've met her mates and family but she has not been introduced to mine
as my family will fangirl over her.
Oh, you're keeping them a secret so that they don't ask for autographs.
And then they go on to say, mum and the lads just think I've taken
a weird great interest in attending national netball matches.
I love that.
That's amazing.
They're waiting till after the next Commonwealth Games
so that they don't ask for tickets or anything
before they reveal their relationship to the family.
Keep it cool, Mum.
Keep it cool.
Chill the hell out.
Someone also said that they're in a secret relationship
with Selena Gomez.
They just haven't told Selena about it yet.
Yeah, right.
Well, good luck with that.
I hope she understands when you do eventually tell her. Yeah, right. Well, good luck with that. I hope she understands when you do eventually tell her.
Yeah, exactly.
All right, let's kick off the week with a good one of these as we'll take your birthdays.
We'll figure out what was number one on your 16th.
Courtney's here. Hi, Courtney.
Hi, Court.
Yo.
Yo.
Good.
How's it?
How are you?
Oh, not having a great day. My screen Courtney. Hi, Court. Yo. Yo. Good. How's it? How are you? Oh, I'm not having a great day.
My screen on my laptop died today.
No.
Why?
Were you eating a bowl of soup or something over at Courtney?
No, I was actually doing my research for my master's degree.
Oh, well, that'll teach you.
Yes, same here.
Just a subtle master's degree drop there, Courtney.
Let's get your birthday banger, shall we?
What's your birthday?
31st of December, 1990.

This is your birthday banger.
Some off-brand Gwen Stefani.
Yeah.
This is the beginning of her solo project, right?
It's no B-A-N-A-N-A-S, is it?
No, it's no rich girl.
No.
But it's all right.
It's all right.

And back in the late 90s, this had the number one hit.
Oh, now we're cooking with...
Here we go.
With hot...
Yeah.
Individual...
Bit of South American spice.
Ricky Martin.
Can you get down with Ricky Martin, John?
He won't be able to keep up with me. He wouldn't be able to
keep up with you? Jesus. No way.
I think together with John
and Ricky Martin, I think that's a
recipe for success, Bree. Do you agree?
It is absolutely my pick this
afternoon. Congratulations,
John. You've just won birthday banger.
Oh, nice. Thanks, guys. And as
my mum would say, Ricky Martin,
ooh, I might be old, but I'm not dead.

It's a winner of Birthday Banger.
Wait, this is the good bit.
There you go.
Is it wrong that every time I hear him sing,
I picture what our kids would look like?
Yours and Ricky's? Yeah.
Damn, I thought yours and mine for a second.
I was like, whoa, that's a powerful song.
No, too far.
Quick round of the age game.
Everyone's playing this.
How old is Ricky Martin?
I'm going to lock in
46
46
Producer Ben, how old is Ricky Martin?
He might be 42
42
Producer Ellie, how old is Ricky Martin?
47
Oh, very close to my guess, isn't it?
Yep
Ellie wins
Ricky Martin is 48.
Oh, no.
See?
Yeah.
Doesn't look a day over hot.
Nice.
Yeah, he looks about 24, to be honest.
He does.
We interviewed Ricky Martin a couple of years ago.
He came over and he performed on X Factor New Zealand.
And Guy and I got to sit down and interview him,
but we were only allowed to interview him from one side,
but the cameras had to be looking at one side of his face.
Oh, like Ariana Grande.
Yeah, and he had to be lit in a very, very specific way,
and there was constantly a manager on hand saying,
Ricky must look good.
Ricky must look good.
That is the main thing for Ricky.
We interviewed him however many years ago.
He took a bite out of this sandwich,
and then we sold the rest of the sandwich on eBay.
How much did you get for it, Mark?
I think we got about $28.
That's disappointing.
I mean, it was in Sydney, so the sandwich cost us $36.
So I found this list online this morning,
and it's essentially the what-if top ten town rankings in Australia.
The what-if top ten town rankings in Australia.
Just a simple list of all the best towns you can go to.
Is Woolloomooloo on there?
No, Woolloomooloo didn't get a call.
What about Wagga Wagga?
No, actually I'm using that as a part of this joke actually.
But the top 10, it was like Coffs Harbour was number one,
which is beautiful.
I've been to Coffs.
Mackay, Airlie Beach, oh, so nice.
Cairns, Margaret River, Maroochydore, that's on the Sunshine Coast.
They're all beautiful places.
Cool.
I thought it'd be fun because obviously these are all towns.
Someone who I know lives in a town in Australia is my mum.
Oh, Mama Di.
Mama Di.
She lives in a country Queensland, Stanthorpe.
Yes.
I thought we could call her and make up the top 10 worst towns list
and just see how she feels about it when we tell her that Stanthorpe,
her hometown and where she currently lives,
is in the top 10 worst towns in Australia.
Sounds fun.
Let's definitely call Mumadai.
She grew up in Stanthorpe?
Yes.
Okay.
Hello.
Mumadai.
Hi, Brianna.
How are you going?
Good.
Clint's here as well.
Hey, Mumadai.
Hi, Clint.
We won't keep you for long, Mum.
We just wanted to get your vibe and get your thoughts.
There's been a top ten best towns in Australia list released.
Oh, okay.
And there's also been a top ten worst towns in Australia list released.
Oh, okay.
Number one was actually Wagga Wagga.
Oh, yeah, well, don't know about that.
And guess what made number two?
Your hometown and where you currently live, Stanthorpe,
coming in at number two.
No, Brianna, this is a stitch-up.
No, this is legit.
This is from an actual website that has went around travelling,
doing all the, I they said that Stanthorpe
has no appeal, terrible tourism,
cold as hell and boring. That's what they've
called it. Well, I tell you what, send them out over the last
three days and we'll see if it was boring. Everything was happening
in the street, I can tell you. Everything was happening in the street, I can tell you.
What was happening in the street?
You name it. The debauchery that
was happening was absolutely
terrible. Was there looting going on in the street?
There was the apple and grape harvest
festival on there this weekend.
Excuse me, Brianna, we had
80,000 people, so
80,000 people. Why does it
get bigger every time I talk to you?
I talked to you last week, it was 50,000.
This morning you said it was 60,000, and now it's gone up to 80,000.
The numbers are in.
The numbers are in.
I read this story two moments ago.
I don't believe it.
I don't believe that your beautiful town of Stanthorpe, where you grew up,
is anywhere near the worst town in Australia.
But this list said also all the men who live in Stanthorpe have small willies.
Yeah.
Oh, honestly.
No, I don't believe it.
I don't believe that list.
And I just wanted to check with you to see if that was true or not.
To be honest, Mum, I did go to Stanthorpe High,
and I can confirm it is true at that school.
Oh, Brianna, honestly, just remember, half the population are Italian, so I'm not saying
anything else.
What do you mean?
What's that got to do with it?
Yeah.
Well, you're talking about Willie, so, you know.
Right, they got big sticks of salami on them or something.
Are you saying, are you saying, Dad's got a bigger salami?
Jeez.
Like those rolls of garlic bread that come in the tin foil from the supermarket.
Yeah, you're saying it's like one of those, Mum.
Are you pretty much saying that you've done the research yourself
and you can say that...
Definitively.
Definitively that it is not true.
It is definitely not true.
There we go. You can take your list and shove it up your ass. not true. It is definitely not true.
There we go.
You can take your list and shove it up your arse. That's from mum and dog.
Toilet paper apocalypse
is upon us. We talked about it earlier in the show.
People in Australia are punching
each other in the face over toilet paper.
It's absolute chaos.
And that's three women, by the way.
You guys are meant to be the smart ones.
Yeah, no, I could tell that was three women.
You're meant to be bigger than that.
Yeah, but we also need more toilet paper than you, so.
True, you need it for every visit.
Exactly, so you don't know how we're feeling right now, mate.
We only need it for one in four, one in five.
We need it for all different types of things you don't even need to know about.
Does that mean in a flatting situation that women should chip in more to the grocery shop because they use more of the toilet paper?
I think that's probably...
That's a theory that's probably the biggest.
That's a theory that I don't believe.
No, you said it now.
Can we isolate that audio and send it to heaps of different magazines, please?
Because the world is rapidly running out of toilet paper,
because people are going crazy, like your supermarket's out,
you couldn't get any.
I had to get one ply home brand and it was the only packet left.
Yeah, right.
So what we've done, a public service for you guys this afternoon,
is we've come up with five alternatives for toilet paper.
Yes.
Yeah.
Have you been, have you got?
I have been writing some down.
You've got some too?
Cool, I've got some too.
We might end up with more than five.
We might end up with more.
Let's just chuck them all out there.
You can use whatever you want of these.
Yeah, okay. You chuck out one first. Let's just chuck them all out there. You can use whatever you want of these. Yeah, okay.
You chuck out one first.
What's a good alternative to toilet paper?
I mean, I think a good alternative
and something that I think people would have lying around
is newspaper.
It's good old-fashioned newspaper.
I had newspaper on there too.
I thought even better than that because that's reusing.
Why don't you reuse what's been reused
and use the leftover fish and chip wrappers?
Yeah, that's good.
I mean, it could get a bit greasy.
Yeah. Which might be good for you, actually.
It could be like...
Like a moisturiser down there.
Yeah, similar to that,
I've seen the toilet paper aisles
are completely empty. No, no, you could,
if you did have crab for lunch, it could
mean other things.
Fishy. Yeah.
I saw the toilet paper aisles are empty,
but no one's going anywhere near the paper towel aisle.
What about a pack of Tuffy hand towels?
Three ply, which in hand towel,
when you compare it to toilet paper,
that's like nine ply toilet paper because it's so thick.
And you know what you do?
Yeah.
Take a knife, a bread knife, cut it down the middle.
Boom, two toilet rolls.
Great idea.
Yeah.
What else can we use Instead of toilet paper
What about
Just the cardboard tubes
Of the toilet roll
What the hard tube
I mean
We've all been there
Haven't we
No
We're not there yet
That's not
We're not there
Producer Ben nods
We're not that dire
Yeah he would have done it
In the bush
He's used
He probably used
Poison ivy on him
Before
Yeah
Stingering
Okay
Things we can use Instead of toilet paper if it gets to that.
Oh, I've got some good ones.
Yeah.
What about, say you're a super rugby fan.
Yeah.
What about like an Auckland Blues jersey?
Yeah.
I'm staying out of that.
That's a good one.
It's better than wearing it.
I'm staying.
Do we have that interview with?
Bowden Barrett.
Bowden Barrett.
He's not even playing for them yet.
Do we have that interview next week?den Barrett. He's not even playing for them yet. Do we have that interview next week?
Even he won't pull the jersey on.
He's in the team and he won't put the jersey on.
That's how bad it is.
We all know they're bad.
They know they're bad.
Hey, they won over the weekend.
Give them a break.
Lay off the blues, Bree.
It says you that wants to wipe his arse with their jersey.
You could say you've got blues poos.
Just like a booze poo, but only a little bit different.
Yeah, but more sad.
What about just receipts?
Receipts?
Receipts.
Yeah, oh yeah.
Quite soft for the paper.
You never really use them.
Warranties, what a load of crap.
Yeah.
Wipe your bum with them.
Take a photo of them first in case you need them.
Yes.
First, not second.
Don't take a photo in second.
Only one more other idea, and this would be good for you,
not Ben and I because we actually used ours,
but you could use your Elton John tickets.
Oh, I could because they're worthless.
They're useless.
Well, they're useless now, yeah, aren't they?
They're useless.
I think I might have the winner.
Yeah.
And I think I might have probably the best alternative
to toilet paper that may never have been thought of.
Yeah, right.
Oh, this is good.
Okay, listen up, home shoppers.
Okay, and when I say it,
I need you all to just think about it for a second.
Yeah.
Don't turn your nose up straight away.
Yeah, okay, yeah.
What about...
Corn on the cob.
Yep. Yep.
No.
It's got grooves.
No.
It can be washed.
Is the corn on the cob?
And reused.
No.
The corn is still on the cob.
Who wants to play a fun game for this afternoon?
I want to play a fun game for the afternoon.
All right, everyone, eyes on me, please.
Eyes on you, eyes on you, yeah.
So pretty much I found this article,
and it's pretty much about all people that made it
but at one time of their life got rejected by American Idol.
Ah.
You remember the show?
It's still going.
Yeah, I remember it because it's still a show.
This is American Idol.
So when you say rejected by American Idol, what?
They never made it through the audition round?
Or they got kicked out early in the top 24 or something?
I don't know exactly, but a lot of them got kicked out in the audition phase.
Okay, they never got past Randy and Paula Abdul.
Nope, never got a look in.
And I thought we could play a game where we'll play a bit of,
because obviously they're all singers.
Yes.
Let's hope so.
We'll play a bit of them singing, and you're going to play a game of,
can you guess the rejected American Idol?
I'm ready.
Okay, here comes rejected American Idol contestant number one. So this will be a famous person, is that right? Yes. Okay, here comes rejected American Idol contestant number one.
So this will be a famous person, is that right?
Yes.
Okay, cool.
This man's a little, little, little baby, just let it be.
That's Bebe Rexha and Florida Georgia Line, yeah?
That is correct.
So is Bebe Rexha on American Idol?
Bebe Rexha had a full circle moment because in 2018 she joined American Idol as a mentor.
But 10 years before that, her and her mother waited in line for 10 hours and she didn't even make it through.
Good on her for sticking with it.
Yeah.
You know?
And also she would have gone, ha ha ha, look who's come knocking.
Remember that time she poured baked beans over my head?
Hello, Ryan Seacrest.
Remember when you didn't want me?
It's not Ryan's fault.
Why are you blaming poor Ryan Seacrest?
I just imagine Ryan Seacrest goes and books all the guests.
Hi, sorry that you didn't get on American Idol in 2008.
Can you come be a mentor, please?
I probably had no idea.
Bebe Rexha?
Okay, let's do another one.
Here comes rejected American Idol contestant turned famous,
contestant number two.
Colby Kelly.
Yes.
She was rejected not once but twice from American Idol auditions.
Right.
And if she hadn't kept going, we wouldn't have got all those great Colby Kelly songs.
This is my favourite, I think.
It's my favourite too.
Probably my least favourite, my favourite and least favourite at the same time.
Right.
Now, this is where it gets a little bit harder for you.
Sure. These are all rejected American Idol contestants who have, you know,
done pretty well for themselves anyway.
Here comes contestant number three.
I've had just enough time.
I'll give you a hint.
She hasn't made it technically in the song world,
but she was on a show where she did a lot of singing,
and this is taken from that show.
Oh.
It doesn't sound like Glee.
Because it's kind of country.
It's country, yeah.
I mean, it could be Glee.
Is it Glee? I've got no idea who that is. Who is. I mean, it could be Glee. Is it Glee?
I've got no idea who that is.
Who is that person?
Naya Rivera from Glee.
She plays Santana Lopez, of course, on the show Glee.
Do I get that point?
Oh!
It's Glee.
I got it, Glee.
Three from three.
All right, three from three.
All right, last one.
This girl was rejected by American Idol.
She revealed it
on a TV show recently
but then she went on
to book also a TV show.
I know that a woman's duty
is to help and love a man.
Who's rejecting this person?
Woo!
And that's the way it was planned.
Uh, okay.
Oh, it ain't no way.
Is this Megan Trainor?
Yeah.
It ain't no way.
No, it's not.
No? How is it?
It's actually a girl named Amber Riley,
better known for her portrayal of Mercedes Jones on also the TV show Glee.
Oh, there you go.
Two Glee heads.
So that's the pathway. You lose American Idol, you go on Glee.
Pretty much.
Right.
That's not a bad way to go.
I'd be pretty happy with that.
Right.
Okay.
Now you do yours.
