No, I'm not. You want me to. I'm not a madman. No, I did not say that.

You just said that you were going to, didn't he, Producer Ben? I didn't say that. Yeah, he's vague, but he might. Yeah, he's vague. He might. If anyone's vague, it's you with that answer, by the way. That was the vaguest response I've ever seen. Sorry.

Can we, Producer Anastasia's not here today. She's gone away. She had too much leave because her last boss forced her to work for three years with no days off. So we inherited her with like three months of leave. Yeah, it's not good. So she's down. So she's never going to be here? She's never going to be here, no.

She should take long service leave. That's how much leave she's got. Rumours are she's in Christchurch starting her rival podcast, The Horse Podcast. I talked to her today. They rescued some baby sheep. Did they? Yeah.

From what? I don't know. A wolf? A wolf. A fox. A fox. You know I've seen a baby sheep get taken by a hawk before. Have you?

Yeah. Ben, can you not eat while we're doing this? I was actually putting it away. You leave Ben alone. He's hungry. So, they're going to Anastasia's seat. There's a man named Joel. G'day, Joel.

Hey, Clint. How you going? Welcome to your first podcast intro. Thank you. We found out today that last night Joel went to bed at 4 o'clock in the afternoon and slept all the way through. Is that because you're real tall? Make you tired? I don't real tall i feel you on that i haven't really slept for long for a while but yeah what time did you get up uh 6 a.m this morning 6 a.m so that's 12 that's 14 hours sleep yeah it's a good stint did you

wake up at all no i didn't i woke up i thought it was 6pm. And I was like, why is there birds chirping? You're like a baby lamb. Do you feel incredible? I do. I feel very fresh this morning, yeah. Holy shit, you are such a dad. Because you love talking about sleep these days. I just want some.

Yeah, I bet. Because you don't have it. So whenever someone says that they get a really good sleep, you're like, what? I want to know what Joel feels like. It's like as soon as you become a parent. Actually, to be honest, I want to know what it feels like at this point. Yeah, you've got to live vicariously through the people who are doing the things you want to do. Like anytime there's a new

relationship, you're like, tell me some details. What's it like? What's going on? Vicariously live through them. I don't get, I wake up so early these days. Whitney, it sounded like Whitney had a cough yesterday. My puppy. And then I thought, shit, she's got

kennel cough. And then nah, she was fine. Kennel cough? Yeah, have you ever heard of that? No. It's like dog bronchitis. It's really horrible for dogs. And they usually get it when they go to like to stay at the kennels. Yeah, because other dogs. But you haven't put her in a kennel? No, but she has been

to puppy school. And you just never know. Was she wearing a face mask? No. Well, there you go. She wasn't. Did she scan in? She did scan in with the app. She does.

Track and trace, baby. Got to do it. To our American listeners of the podcast, whoa, Buzzy G, what a weekend. Yeah, massive weekend for you guys. When you're listening to this, it's Monday here in New Zealand. Are you disappointed? Yeah. What are you disappointed? Yeah. What are you feeling?

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Did you vote? Because if you didn't vote, you're not allowed to have an opinion. This is the bit that trips me out about America. What do you think the population of America is?

Such a great... 550 million. 550. I know that's already too big. Have another guess. Yeah, I'm going to go 180 million. 550? I know that's already too big. Have another guess. Yeah, I'm going to go 180 million. No, I'm going to say 550 million. I'm sticking with it.

I'm telling you it's too big. Because I already know roughly what it is. I'm going off a gauge of how many votes each of them got. What did you say? What did I say? 140? 140. What did you say?

550. Okay, I'll say 500. Okay, Joel, what do you want to say? 350 did I say? 140? 140. What did you say? 500. Okay, I'll say 500 then. Okay, Joel, what do you want to say? 350. It's 328 million. So close. But they only had 145 million people vote. So that's what I was going off. How many? 145?

Why was I going off that? Yeah, but you have to account for kids. Yeah, but there's not that many kids. There's a lot of people under 18. Yeah, still. Who can't vote. It's not that... It's one of the highest numbers of like... It's the highest.

It's the highest turnout ever. So, I mean, you can't ask for too much more. Well, you could ask for another maybe 20, 40 million. It'd be helpful. Ben! Leave him alone. He's had a long day. Sorry, mate. In the show today, you'll hear that he doesn't have dinner until 8 o'clock at night

And now you've decided to have dinner now What's going on? What's changed? Sometimes when you're not married You don't have kids You can step out of your comfort zone And have dinner later What's that like?

It's pretty good I'm not going to lie Actually to be honest I'm swaying towards your life now Because we went out on Saturday and then we're like, well, shit, we'd better go home. We'd better let Whitney out. Oh, yeah, that's right.

Do you remember that movie that came out in the, I think, 2010s? Hall Pass? Oh, yeah. With Owen Wilson. Is it Owen Wilson? And who's the other guy who's in all of those? It's not Zach Galifianakis, is it? No.

No, it's the other guy. It's the guy who's like the guy from The Hang Wilson and... No, it's the other guy. It's the guy who's like the guy from The Hangover but not the guy from The Hangover. Yeah, what's his name? What's his name? Zadoukas? Jason Zadakis? Jason Zadakis? Zadoukas? Jason Zadoukas? Zadouko? Yeah, it's that guy. Is it him? Yeah, it's him.

He's real seedy in that movie. Yeah, I don't want a hall pass. I'm just bringing it up as a conversation topic. You know, to have a break, you don't need to go fuck someone. No, that's not what I'm talking about. That's what a hall pass is. Oh, right. No, I was talking about just having a break from...

Yeah, that's different. Your responsibilities is what I meant. Yeah, but a hall pass is not that. Yeah, I just said I don't want a hall pass, okay? I need this committed to audio. I don't want a hall pass. If anything, I just said I don't want a hall pass I need this committed to audio I don't want a hall pass If anything I want to stay in the hall Imagine this

Imagine you get to go to a hotel Yes This Friday night And then you get to sleep in as long as you want And then you get to order room service Whatever you want And then all get to order room service whatever you want and then all day you can stay in bed and do whatever you want probably not that but you know i wouldn't be able to enjoy it unless lucy was there that's not oh i would i'd have a great time no because i know

me i know by me not being at home she'd have to be doing twice as much. Okay, well, what about if she went and stayed at another hotel? Yeah. And say your parents were looking after Tui. Oh, and we're in different hotels? Yeah. I'd like to be in a hotel with her for obvious reasons. Yeah. If you know what I mean.

God, you're so bloody hard to please. You both get nothing now. I was organising it for your Christmas present. Now you get nothing. That would be such a weird gift to send us to opposite hotels. That would be. You know who would love it? Who?

Lucy. She would. And I'd be like, do you want Clint to come? She'd be like, he doesn't need to be here. No, he's fine. I just need sleep. Okay. Enjoy the podcast, everybody.

And, you know, stay cool till after school or something. Awkward outro. Where's the dolphin, man? There he is. Just a little bit of dolphin. 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 Bree and Clint on? Bree and Clint are on air in five, four, three, two, one. We're not ready. We're not ready. Sorry, not ready. We're not ready. Sorry, not ready.

I'm ready. No, you're not. You're the least ready. You're just finishing a bowl of Nutri-Grain. You literally still have Nutri-Grain in your food, in your mouth right now. I've never, ever not regretted something more. Brie, 10 minutes before the show starts,

Brie looks at the dairy that's across the road from the studio and she goes, do you reckon they sell cereal? And I was like, yeah, yeah, they definitely sell cereal. And then you see her just toddling off to the dairy. And then she comes back in with a box of Nutri-Grain and a litre of milk. And I said, did you buy the milk as well? She goes, yeah, it's cereal.

And I said, there's free milk at work. I was like, damn it. How much was your box of Nutri-Grain? It was like seven bucks. Oh, yeah, it's cereal. And I said, there's free milk at work. I was like, damn it. How much was your box of Nutri-Grain? It was like seven bucks. Oh, yeah? Cereal's not cheap, eh? So that dairy's doing okay if it's only seven bucks. I mean, it's like a medium-sized box.

Does anyone want in on this? Producers? Do you guys want? I got bowls for everyone, but no one. I had breakfast earlier. What do you mean? Also, why did you walk in with Nutri-Grain and a curry? Oh, because the lovely guys out in the reception

were celebrating Diwali, is it day? Week. Diwali Festival, yeah. Diwali Festival, which is really cool. And I was like, oh, smells amazing out here. And then they were like, oh, do you want one of these curries? And I was like, cereal? Did they give you a free curry?

Yeah, they love me out there. Damn it. Cereal, curry. Actually, I think I promised them some cereal? Did they give you a free curry? Yeah, they love me out there. Damn it. Cereal, curry. Actually, I think I promised them some cereal out there. You did not. I did a trade-off. To be fair, that's a pretty good trade. Yeah.

All right. Well, cool. I'm going to try and give you some of that curry. Today on the show, you're challenged to win a $250 Mecca voucher before 4 o'clock, thanks to Cookie Time. Yeah, no, that's exciting. All you've got to do is guess how many cookies are left in our cookie time bucket. It's really just a game of chance, isn't it?

No, there's some skill involved. Is there? Yeah. What about that person that inboxed us and they were like, I'd like to know the exact specifications of the bucket and how big the cookies are and the width and the height and all that stuff? Oh, yeah. That was interesting.

Well, they had like an engineer. Maybe. Hey, it pays off in this game. Go and buy your own bucket and you do the measurements. Hey, well, that's a good idea too. Yeah, but next though, we want to talk about complicated orders. Yeah, are you someone that you just have a really complicated food order? You know what you like.

It could be drinks. Yeah. Because there's a guy that's really stitched himself up because he has a super complicated order, but it didn't turn out completely how he wanted. Yeah. Because there's a guy that's really stitched himself up because he has a super complicated order but it didn't turn out completely how he wanted. Okay. We'll hear about it after. Binnie, this is super lonely on Zitim. You want some of this? No, I'm good, man. Bree and Clint.

Bree and Clint. Look, do you have a complicated order? Are you one of those people that hospitality people love to hate? Yeah. They hate you. They hate you. I mean, I'm going to be honest. I've done it before. Yeah.

We've all done it. You enjoy a steamed bun? You enjoy that steamed bun because you've just made someone's day that much harder. Exactly. Honestly. It's not an easy gig sometimes. And, you know, with Uber Eats,

I feel like it's made it that much worse. Yeah. Because they give you every option under the sun. And this might be a story of warning for people because there's a guy, it's actually his wife that has posted about this, but essentially he is a complicated order person. He loves it. He loves complicating things. He hates a bunch of different stuff, so he just, you know,

complicates the order. Hates a standard menu. Yeah, so this time he was ordering from McDonald's and he was ordering on Uber Eats and it was a simple, it was a chicken burger. It was a McChicken. Right. That's what he was ordering.

How much can you do to a McChicken? Well, he doesn't like any salad, so he takes the salad off. He also doesn't like mayonnaise, so he takes that off and he switches that for uh tomato sauce okay um and then i also think uh i'm not too sure i think that's that's about it that's uh the extent of his complicated order for that but i mean quite unusual so essentially it's chicken uh tomato sauce and buns. Yeah. What he didn't realise is that in all the chaos, he accidentally unticked the buns and the chicken as well. And for a cool price of three pounds for the burger,

so about $6 for the burger, and about $4 delivery, he got a box with tomato sauce in it. I love it when hospo people just give you the order literally. So good. They're like, well, this is what you asked for.

There's a very unhappy picture of him on the internet. He looks pissed off. Holding this box with tomato sauce in it. But I mean, they would have known at McDonald's

that something had gone wrong. Being picky on something like Uber Eats complicates the problem because it has to go through so many hands. You have to get your specific order and then give it to Uber Eats. Uber Eats have to give it to the restaurant. Then the restaurant have to give the made product to the Uber Eats driver, which then gets to you.

There's no way that you can look at it and go, this isn't what I ordered without it becoming a massive issue. Yeah, exactly. It just doesn't work. Anyway, he ended up having tomato sauce for dinner. I wanted to ask people this afternoon, because I think this is quite common these days. Do you have a really specific, like, complicated order at a place like McDonald's?

I remember going through the drive-thru with producer Ellie. I don't know what her order was, but it was. She just got steamed buns and I think it's a meat chicken burger with steamed buns. Was that it? Yeah, it's not super complicated. Is that it? I remember being in the back seat like, oh, come on, Gordon Ramsay, hurry it up. It takes a while for them to steam them.

It does take longer, so we had to wait for hers. Right, I'm bog standard. I just want what's on the menu, just give it to me. No, see, I'm one of those people that's a bit complicated. When you order a filet-o-ish, you can't improve on perfection. Oh, mate, whatever. Miami chicken burger, I usually get extra lettuce, extra sauce. Oh, yeah.

And steam the buns most of the time. That's still not too complex. It's not too bad. I reckon. I'm looking for the people that go real crazy. Like, is it at Starbucks where you order something wild? Like, is it at McDonald's? Like, where is it?

And what are you ordering? What is your really complicated order? And you'll know it off by heart. Oh yeah. And how often do people get it right as well? Because when you're doling out instructions like that, people aren't paid to interpret that much information. They don't know what you want. There's a button there that just says

McChicken. And they know how to make that. That's what they want to push. They want to push the McChicken button. That's it. They don't want to put it on a Big Mac bun. So true. 0800 dials at M. Or you can text your order in to us on 9696 as well. What's your complicated food order or drink order?

Bree and Clint. Do you have a complicated food order? Karma has come back to bite one guy in the bottom after he was on Uber Eats. And he ordered, you know, just a normal McChicken burger from McDonald's, but he took off the lettuce, he took off the mayo, replaced it with tomato sauce, and then he accidentally also ticked no buns, no meat. So he got tomato sauce in a box.

Box of sauce. Box of sauce. Expensive box of sauce. Yeah. I love they still charged him $4 a box. Box of sauce. Box of sauce. Expensive box of sauce. Yeah. I love they still charged him $4 delivery for a box of sauce. And they charge him the same price for a burger too. Imagine he was just coming home from town too and he's like, I need some food.

I'd be roped. And you're hanging out with us. It takes about half an hour for it to get to you and then it finally does get there. Box of sauce. Man, I hope he ordered chips. Yeah, let's hope so. If he ordered chips, box of sauce is not such a bad outcome. Yeah, because you dip the chips in the sauce. Man, I hope he ordered chips. Yeah, let's hope so. If he ordered chips, box of sauce is not such a bad outcome.

Yeah, because you dip the chips in the sauce. My mum has a complicated coffee order and every time we go somewhere, I'm like, just get a flat white one. What is it? She orders a half strength skinny cappuccino. Yeah, skinny. So it's on skim milk with half a sugar. Oh, yeah.

I'm like, mum, just get a cappuccino. No, that's not too bad. Oh. Half strength shrimp cappuccino with half a sugar. Half strength skinny cappuccino with half a sugar. I reckon we'll get more complex than that. Let's get them on. Ryan, hi.

G'day, Ryan. Hey, g'day. What are you ordering? How is it complicated? It's not that complicated. We just get quarter pounders without onions. My brother and I used to work in fast food, and we know if you order a grill, that means it's cooked fresh

and it's not been sitting on the line for like five to ten minutes. Oh, is that the heck? That's interesting. You change it slightly and then you get it fresh? Just slightly and then you get it fresh. Do they get your order right, though? Or you don't care because you don't mind onions? You're just removing them to get a fresh burger? You're just removing them to get a fresh burger.

You're just removing them to get a fresh burger. Yeah, right. So even if they balls the order up, it doesn't matter. You got it. Oh, genius, Ryan. Okay. Someone else on the text machine's got a McDonald's complicated order. It says here, I get a McChicken burger, steam bun, extra chicken patty,

two slices of cheese, barbecue sauce, bacon, fries, no salt, extra fries and ask for salt at the window as well for the fries. Would you like fries with that? Yeah, maybe some extra. Jacinda's here. Hi, Jacinda. Hi. Hello, mate.

Do you have a complicated food order? It's not too complicated. I order me a quarter pounder. I take out the mustard and the ketchup. I add an extra patty and mac sauce for a mega Big Mac, like real meaty one. That's pretty complicated. So you just want a whole lot of meat?

I guess so. You just want to order. You're like, can I get the extra meat, extra meat, double patty, extra meat? Was there no sauce in there at all? No, Big Mac. So I take the mustard and the ketchup out and add Mac sauce twice. Two Mac sauces. Yeah, see, that's good. I like that hack,

Jacinta, that's good. But quarter pound of patties. Yes, so they're like extra beefy. A quarter pound of patties, no. Wait, are they the same? No, no. They're bigger. They're bigger, they're a quarter pound. Oh, right, gotcha. Hence the name of the burger. Finally, oh, this person wants to remain anonymous. Your ex has a complicated

order. What was it? Yeah, so my ex had a really complicated Macca's order. It was a double quarter pounder with an extra patty, add an egg, add beetroot, extra mayo, extra cheese, and a steamed bun. And instead of chips, you have a hash brown and a frozen Coke. Anonymous, can I ask you one question? Every time your partner ordered that, did you just think,

what a tosser? Oh, yeah, it would take us about 10 minutes to get out of the drive-thru to wait for it. I bet. That's ridiculous. And even though you're broken up, you still remember their order. Oh, yeah. It was the most complicated order I ever heard,

so I can't forget it. Yeah, right. It was the most complicated order I ever heard, so I can't forget it. Yeah, right. It's the only thing she remembers. That and his phone password. Bree and Clint. From iHeartRadio. This is...

The latest live from LA with Dean McCarthy. Dean's on the show with us live from Los Angeles with news of a possible movie remake. Hi, Dean. Hi, Dean.

Hey, guys. Oh, my goodness. One of my favourite movies of 2005, The Wedding Crashers with Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson is getting a sequel. What? They are going to do, yes, a second Wedding Crashers. Everyone knows that movie.

It was absolutely brilliant. It was hilarious. Vince Vaughn has confessed that it's early stages, but they are in talks. He and Owen Wilson have teamed up. They're like, yeah, we're down to do it. And that's the most difficult thing. With these kind of things like a part two or a sequel or anything like that,

it's all about getting the main actors to be a part of it. Yeah. Dean, wait a minute. Correct me if I'm wrong. Owen Wilson has been out of the spotlight because he didn't want to be in the spotlight for quite some time. Yes. The last time I interviewed him was for that movie Cars, which was, I reckon, like four years ago or something.

Yeah, he was taking a massive break. Yes, he took a massive break. He's still a cool, bankable star. People, I think, would definitely line up to see this movie. So obviously Vince Vaughn has convinced him to come out of the woodwork and back on the big screen. So, stay tuned. It's early stages, but if they're both into it, it's happening.

It has to have Will Ferrell. It has to have Will Ferrell. Do you remember all the stars that were actually in that film? I only remember those three. So, there was Vince Vaughn, Owen Wilson, yeah, of course, Will Ferrell, Rachel McAdams, Isla Fisher. There were so many stars in that film.

Oh, right, yes. That's right. Oh, well, that would be a great one. Mum! Oh, and how could I forget? Bradley Cooper was in that film. The Meatloaf! Was Bradley Cooper in it?

He sure was. He played the villain. 2005. Yeah. Crazy. All right, that's the latest live out of Los Angeles with Dean McCarthy. Thanks to Cookie Time. Celebrating 35 years of Christmas cookies.

You can book a seller now at christmascookies.co.nz. Brian Clint. Like the majority of the population at the moment, man, I'm tired. Like just constantly tired. Do you feel me? Yeah, I do feel you on that. You know you're tired when you wake up from a full night's sleep and you're tired. No, I know I'm old because when I wake up from a sleep, I'm

sore. Yeah. And I'm like, ooh, what exercise did I do? Oh, I laid down. That's right. For eight hours. I slept three degrees off how I normally sleep. Oh, well, better get a neck brace. Oh, that's ice for the next week. It's got me thinking how tired I am. It makes

me quite anxious about going to bed. I'm like, God, I've got to get to bed. I'm like, God, I've got to get to bed. That's the worst feeling. I've got to get to bed and I've got to get to sleep right now. Like I have to. Like it'll just make everything better if I go to bed right now.

Oh, but there's still some of this program left. Or, oh, I need to call so-and-so. Oh, I need to finish this work that I'm doing. And it just gets me angry. And so what I've been stewing on is what is the ultimate bedtime? Like what is the best bedtime? Things were simpler when we were kids

and our mum and dad told us what bedtime was. I mean, there's a lot of variation in this question. Yeah, there is. Depends what you do for work, what time you have to get up. Yeah. If you've got kids, obviously. Yeah, but universally there must be an overarching bedtime that is the best bedtime.

I've been doing a bit of research. 18 to 60-year-olds need seven to eight hours of sleep a night, which I think is fairly common knowledge. Did you know that teenagers need up to 10 hours a night of sleep? No, I didn't know that. 10 hours a night. So when you think they're being lazy, they're just trying to live, bro. They're like puppies.

They sleep more. Yeah, right? Yeah. And live in their own mess. Yeah. I think I've figured it out. I think I've figured out the ultimate bedtime.

Oh, here we go. And I'm going to reveal it, okay? This is, I've done the research and what I'll do is I'll give you the bedtime first and then I'll give you my reasoning. I'm going to believe

it's someone without accreditation. No, no, I've got to, I've done the research. You're like, I sleep. I do sleep, okay? I'm qualified. Okay, you want the research. You're like, I sleep. I do sleep. Okay, I'm qualified. Okay, you want to know what the ultimate bedtime is? Yeah.

According to me. The ultimate bedtime. The best bedtime. 9.30. Oh, no. Get out. Get off the grass. 9.30 p.m.

How old are you? How old are you? Let me run you through my thinking. Are you 11? Let me run you through the thinking. I know it's jarring for you. That's an 11-year-old's bedtime. That's because you're going to bed at the wrong time. Okay, you're going me run you through my thinking. Are you 11? Let me run you through the thinking. I know it's jarring for you. That's an 11-year-old's bad time. That's because you're going to bed at the wrong time.

You're going to bed at the wrong time. Let me run you through the logic. 9.30. It's dark. Correct? Most of the time. Yeah, it's dark. All the good TV shows are finished.

So there's nothing good on after 9.30. I hate to break it to you, but it's 2020. You can watch whatever you want. Yeah, we'll watch it tomorrow. Thank you for backing up my point. I didn't back up your point at all. If you stay up after 9.30, this is an important one, if you stay up after 9.30, you're just wasting

your time. Because nothing good happens after 9.30. Heaps of good stuff happens, trust me. No, I've factored that into the conversation as well. If you go to bed at 9.30, there's still time for some, you know, of that if you want and you won't get too tired. You can still, you can do that and still get a full night's sleep.

No, because there's always, if you do it before that, then there's always the case of like the, you know, the accidental drop by or the flatmate. At 9.30? What kind of psychopath is dropping by at 9.30? Or people who live with flatmates, the occasional, what are you guys doing? If you dropped around to my house at 9.30 at night, I would think you'd committed a crime and you needed somewhere to hide. I'm going to do that tonight.

Well, the door will be locked. And finally, my final reasoning why 9.30 is the best bedtime. Okay. You can get up early and make yourself feel better than everybody else by telling people how early you get up. You can say, oh, yeah, I get up at six, and then I can do some exercise. You know what else? That'll make you really likable to other people too.

They love that. They love when you tell them that you've got heaps of sleep. Thank you for backing me up. So 9.30, we both agree, is the ultimate bedtime. I have to disagree. 9.30, I've had the nail on the fricking head here, and it's hard for you to accept how right I am. I understand, but you will come around.

Unless you're a 13 or 14-year-old, I do think 9.30 is a good bedtime. I'm not talking about them. Or people who get up super early for work, then I totally get that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But I think if you're a normal person like you who has to roll into work at 12 o'clock,

9.30, get off the grass, you're going to bed at grandpa time. What time are you going to bed? I'm going to say I would the best bedtime, I think, somewhere between 11 and 11.30. You're bonkers. No, that's good. You know why? No, you need your mother.

Because you can fill your brain with knowledge. That's when I get all my work done. You do not. I do. I get heaps of work done. You do nothing good after 9.30. I've said it. That was point number three.

After 9.30, you're just wasting your time. No, I don't agree. Because after, if you, like everyone else in my flat goes to bed, and guess what? I've got free reign of the kitchen. To waste your time. Go to bed. I go in there and I have snacks. No one knows it was me because they're all sleeping like

chumps. Yeah, like geniuses. Free reign of the bathroom. Use all the hot water. No one's using it. Because they're in bed. Well, if I'm not going to convince you, I need to know that I've convinced the nation. So 0800 dial ZM this afternoon. Do you agree with me that 9.30 is the ultimate bedtime? No, I think that's

leading them astray. I think 0800 dial ZM. What is the ultimate bedtime? Okay, 0800 dial ZM. Are you going to bed at 9.30 or are you going to bed at the wrong time? No, fine. Okay, what's the ultimate bedtime? No, now people only who go to bed at 9.30 will

call. Everyone else is probably already asleep. Oh, the accolades are flooding in because I've done it. I have cracked the case. I may get a Queen's medal this Christmas. What about the one that says, I have two kids and if I had to go to bed at 9.30, I would cry myself to sleep every night.

That's our only personal time we get. No, that's special circumstances. And also, don't jump the gun, okay? I've got to re-reveal what I've discovered, okay? I, Clint Roberts, New Zealand citizen, have discovered the ultimate bedtime, which is 9.30. 9.30 is the premium bedtime.

And if you want to fall asleep, you can listen to this radio right now. No, no, no. Well, try our podcast, actually. I've heard it's very, very soothing. So I've asked. Bree doesn't agree. She wants to go to bed at 11.30 at night.

No, I said. Like a vampire. No, I said 11. Like some kind of possum. I'm locking in 11 o'clock, I think, is a great time because you also get that connection with your partner. Like me and my partner don't see each other and when we have that time where we spend,

we might watch a bit of TV, we talk. That's our time together. Yeah, how much time do you need? Huh? How much time do you need? Obviously more than you. You guys need to sleep, okay? I've seen you both.

You look tired, okay? Oh, Jesus. So we're asking what's the ultimate bedtime. Do you agree with me or do I have it wrong? Summer's here. Hi, Summer. G'day, bedtime. Do you agree with me or do I have it wrong? Summer's here. Hi, Summer. G'day, Summer. I totally agree with Clint.

9.30 is bang on. 9.30 is the ultimate bedtime. How good do you feel when you wake up after going to bed at 9.30? Quite refreshed. What, do you want more sleep? It depends on how many toilet trips I've had during the night. Oh, how many toilet trips, right. But, Summer, you know why you have to get up to go to the toilet?

Because you're going to bed too early. That's why. Your body not having toilet trips. Right. But Summer, you know why you have to get up to go to the toilet? Because you're going to bed too early. That's why. Your body's not done yet. Masua, can you turn that radio down for us? Yeah. Your name, Masua? G'day. The best time to go to bed is 9.30. Yeah, the best bedtime is 9.30.

9.30 rules. What time do you get up, Masua? I get up at 7 o'clock every single morning because I'm a rubbish man. You're a rubbish man. Yeah, beautiful. You have to get up early, so I totally get it from your point of view. Yeah, shout out to the rubbish trucks. Thank you, Masua.

Yeah, shout out to those boys and ladies. Callum, hi. Yeah, g'day. No, both of you are wrong. 10.30 is best. 10.30 is good, Cal. 10.30? I like 10.30. What are you doing between 9.30 and 10.30 is best time. 10.30 is good, Cal. 10.30? I like 10.30.

What are you doing between 9.30 and 10.30 that's so good? Oh, I get home at 6. By the time you bloody have a shower and cook dinner and clean up, you know, it's already sort of 8.39. I'm not going to... You're having some you time, Cal. I need a couple of hours to watch a few episodes of Netflix. You just can't watch one.

You've got to have two, have a cheeky drink. Have a cup of tea. Yeah, exactly. Give it a go. Maybe a beer. All right, we'll put you down for 10.30, but trust me, give 9.30 a go because I've done the math and I'm right. Tanya.

Hi, Tanya. Hi, Tanya. Hi. What's the ultimate bedtime? Definitely 11.30. Yes, Tanya. What are you? You sleep half your life away.

You sleep half your evening sleeping when you could be out. She's an adult. That's what she is. Are you a snake? Are you some kind of nocturnal being? Your body wants to go to bed when the sun goes down. Go to bed at 9.30. Boy, grandpa, we're not attacking you.

You leave us vampires alone. Stay up if we want to, Tanya. This comes from a position of care. This is from a place of love, what I'm telling you. I'm not trying to affect your lifestyle too much. No, you are. You're trying to tell me what to do, Dad. You're not my dad. I'm trying to recruit you.

Hi, Emily. Hi, Emily. How are we going? Good, thanks. What's the ultimate bedtime, Em? I feel like such a nan. I compare to everyone else. I'm in bed between 7.30 and 8.30.

Whoa. Emily, what time are you getting up? Between 6.30 and 7.30. Whoa. Emily, what time are you getting up? Between 6.30 and 7.30. Okay, so not super, super early. So you go for 11 to 12 hours sleep a night? Okay, I get into bed. I'm usually awake until about 9 o'clock, but I'll be scared after that.

Okay, so you're not going to bed and going, all right, turning off the lights at 7.30, I'm out. You're faffing around on your phone, aren't you? Cleaning up. Cleaning up? Cleaning up.30. I'm out. You're faffing around on your phone, aren't you? Cleaning up. Cleaning up? Cleaning up. Yes. What do you mean?

We'll just get the stuff ready for the next day, so I don't have to do it all at once. Yeah, fair enough. Okay. Right, is that the end? Oh, no, we've got one more. Sasha's here as well. Hi, Sasha.

Hi, Sasha. Hi. I think Clint's correct. I'm sorry, Brie. Usually I'm on your side, but 9.30, oh, I don't go to bed at 9.30. People have issues. It's the premium bedtime. And people who don't understand this, I feel sorry for them because they're so tired.

Sasha, all I heard was usually you're on my side, so I'll give you this one, mate. I'll give you that one. Oh, sorry. Nah, you're all right, mate. Thanks, Sasha. Hey, five hours till bedtime. Yeah, it's still your bedtime. Have a good sleep tonight, mate.

See ya. See ya. There you go. Everybody agrees with me. 9.30, the best bedtime. I like how even though there was people that didn't agree, you're like, every single person Every single person agrees. Well, maybe I'll give it a go tonight. A great victory. Yesterday, obviously, the

new President of the United States of America was named So only yesterday Yesterday morning our time yeah And in what is only being described as the perfect end to the perfect presidency Donald Trump called a press conference at the Four Seasons. As you do. As you do. In Delaware, I think.

I think it was in Delaware he called the press conference. Oh, I thought it was like... Pennsylvania. I thought it was autumn over there at the moment. Anyway, he wanted to have it at the Four Seasons Hotel. It's a very flash hotel in the States. It is very nice. And whoever booked it, booked it at a place called Four Seasons Landscaping and Gardening.

Which is just like a place where people go to buy dirt and like lawn supplies and stuff like that. I can't believe they ended up even doing it there. Yeah, well credit to them, they followed through with it and they had their big press conference. Rudy Giuliani, who's Donald Trump's

lawyer, did a press conference at the back garage of a landscape supply store. And it will go down in history as one of the greatest balls-ups of all time. People have googled this place and

It's going to be famous now. Everyone is going to want to get their dirt from there. It's located next door to a crematorium and a sex store. Perfect spot. The perfect spot. The symbolism is just too much. I mean, it's got everything in that set of shops. Trump wasn't even there.

He was on the golf course. And yeah, it was just the perfect ending. And you know what? It's amazing because I called it. From day one, I've called this. Remember? What? I predicted this whole outcome of the election.

When? I did. About a month ago. Was it a month ago, Ben, that I said this thing? About a month ago? Oh, it wouldn't have been that long, but definitely three or so. Maybe a month, yeah.

I've predicted the outcome of this election for at least three weeks. Like down to, scarily accurate as well. Here comes the stitch up. Don't pretend you don't remember. You were there. It's a stitch up. You were there.

You were there. What have you manufactured? Go on, play your little... Have we got the highlight clip? Play your little... Have we got the highlight clip? Yeah, it's right there. Obviously tweaked audio

that you and producer Ben have put together. Listen to this. This went live to air on ZM. Check this out. Brie, I know how the election's going to go and I'm going to predict it right now. Alright, go on, lay it on me.

Joe Biden will win it. It'll take, let me guess, four days for us to get a result. But when we do, Biden's going to win by about four million votes. Really? He is, yeah. Biden will clinch Pennsylvania

and then in the early hours of Sunday morning New Zealand time, that will give him a majority of 279 electoral college votes, you know, roundabout. There's no way that's true. It's true, I know. Also, Trump will go and play golf and then he'll hold a press conference at a landscaping yard.

Trust me on this one. All right, Clint, if you're right, then I'll pay you $150 cash. Oh, deal? Deal. I knew it was a fake ad lib. I knew it was fake. What do you mean fake ad lib. I knew it was fake. What do you mean fake ad lib? I'll find the audio.

No one knows what you're talking about, fake ad lib. All of this is recorded. I'll find the audio. Of course all of it's recorded. I just played it. I called it. And because I called it, you didn't pull off the joke. Now you need to pay me.

Where's my $150? Where's my $150? Where's my $150? It was right there. Where's my $150? Where's my $150? It was right there Where's my $150? I'm not paying you anything Where's my $150? Where's my $150?

Also, you're acting horrible It's because I wasn't acting Kia ora, this is Toby Mannheim I'm the host of Gone By Lunchtime A podcast for the Spinoff Podcast Network All about politics and politicians, with me, Annabel Lee-Mather, and Ben Thomas, careering wildly from the very serious to the very ridiculous. It's not for everyone. I don't think it would be Ellen's cup of tea, but you, I reckon, will love it. Gone By Lunchtime. Grab one now wherever you get your podcasts.

Brianne Clint. Oh my God. What? No way! I can't believe 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 Cliffhanger. This is Cliffhanger,

where you tell us three quarters of a great story and then leave us on the cliffhanger. That's right. Your opportunity to win mobile fuel just for a good yarn. Yeah. People will try and guess your ending. Mixed in with the real ending will be endings written by Bree and I, and it's the listener's chance to figure out which is the real one.

Darren's going to leave us on a cliffhanger today. G'day, Daz. Hello, Darren. Hi. G'day. How are you? Good, thank you. When you're ready, kick into your story

and make sure you leave us on that cliffhanger. Okay, I was back in 1995 when I was in the Army. I ended up getting involved with the Commonwealth Heads of Government meeting up in Auckland. And I had a busy day and I just wanted a cup of coffee. And I was at Auckland Airport. So I went into the VIP area to get the coffee. And I got asked to deal with this person, which I did. And I ended up getting him stuck about the Rugby World Cup.

And, of course, at the end of the time, they came and got the person and took him away. And just before they took him away, he looked at me and goes, thank you very much for talking to me like you did. And the question is, who was I talking to? Oh. So it's not how it ended, it's who it ended with. Who is the person?

Okay, Producer Ben has three options. One of these is correct. Ending number one, it turns out it had been global superstar Robin Williams. He offered me a cigarette. Sorry, Robbie Williams. He offered me a cigarette, even though I said I never smoked. Because, I mean, who passes the opportunity to have a dart with the Prince of Pop? Turns out the person I had met at the airport had been Nelson Mandela the whole time,

and I didn't even know. Ending number three, it turns out it was Sir Ian McKinnon, a.k.a. Gandalf from Lord of the Rings. I think I had ruined it, though, by saying, you're going to miss your flight because you shall not pass. All great options. All very good. All very good options.

One of those is the correct ending, the correct person. Richie, it's your job to pick the correct and real ending. Well, I was thinking about this, and I think I'm going to have to lock in A. A. Robbie Williams? Robbie Williams. Darren, who were you talking to in the Kuru Lounge in 1995? It was Nelson Mandela.

The clue was the year. 1995 was the year. 1995 was the clue. Darren, can I ask, though, how did you not know it was Nelson Mandela? I'd been up since about 4 o'clock in the morning and when he came through, it was about 3 o'clock in the afternoon. I was just pretty tired

and just wanted a cup of coffee. What a surreal experience. You were so tired, you didn't recognise Nelson Mandela? Yeah, yeah. It was just, oh, a piece of coffee. I just want coffee didn't recognise Nelson Mandela. Yeah, yeah. It was just a piece of coffee. I just want coffee. Yeah, right, right, right, right.

Well, at least you got to talk to him right, Darren. You've got that story, even if you didn't know who you were talking to. That's incredible. Nelson Mandela's like, thank you. You treated me like a normal person. And Darren goes, why wouldn't I? Aren't you a normal person? I love it, Darren.

You picked up that mobile fuel. Nice work. Okay, cheers for that. What did you say to him about the Rugby World Cup? I basically called him a cheating bastard. You did? You said that to Nelson Mandela? Yeah.

And he probably... That was after the food poisoning scandal. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. He probably appreciated the honesty for once, Darren. Yeah. And he probably... That was after the food poisoning scandal. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. He probably appreciated the honesty for once, Darren. Yeah. Nelson Mandela said we did what we had to do. Bree and Clint.

I don't mean to alarm anybody, but I saw a report on Seven Sharp last week which said a certain type of cake is on the verge of going extinct. Cake makers won't be making this cake soon. Oh, first the dinosaurs and now this? Right. First the Great Barrier the dinosaurs and now this? Right? First the Great Barrier Reef, now this? Oh, don't joke about that.

Oh, yeah, sorry. That's still in the process. Well, don't joke about dinosaurs. That was millions of years ago. I miss them. No one knew dinosaurs. No one knew them. Actually, let's get Hilary and Jeremy to tell us.

Okay. Here's the cake that is at risk of not existing anymore. Going by the wayside too. Sadly, fruitcake. No, no fruitcake in sight for widows, unfortunately. Rebecca Clifford knows her cakes and says, frankly, fruitcakes out of favour. About time something good happened for 2020.

That is disgusting news. Yes. Fruitcake is an icon. Get rid of it. It's one of the central pillars of Christmas. Who is putting fruit in cake? Stop it. People who want to treat their family to a delicious Christmas. You never

know what each bite's gonna bring. It's horrible. I love fruitcake. Especially when it gets old and you have to pour the sherry on it to keep it fresh. Yuck. I love fruitcake. It lasts forever. No, there's the thing about fruitcake is I'm like, why would you eat this horrible cake when there's like a million other way better cakes you can have? You know what's good about fruitcake is I'm like, why would you eat this horrible cake when there's

like a million other way better cakes you can have? You know what's good about fruitcake in my family? Is the only people who eat it are me and my father-in-law. So at Christmas, there's a fruitcake and we're the only ones, the cake lasts us forever. Doesn't that tell you something? That's why it's going extinct. Look, I love fruitcake and I'm upset. Not a fan.

But I understand where you're coming from. I don's going extinct. Look, I love fruitcake and I'm upset. I'm not a fan. But I understand where you're coming from. I don't agree with you but I understand. I thought today let's figure out because one cake obviously has to go.

They only remove a cake. Fruitcake. They've already decided. No, no, we haven't decided. It's gone. A cake only goes extinct when there's too many cakes. It's like Darwin's

theory of cake. I feel like it goes extinct when no one wants to eat it. I've got Ben to prepare us a list of cakes, other cakes. Okay. And we're going to decide if these should be gotten rid of. All right. Instead of fruit cake.

Instead of fruit cake. Yeah. If you can, if producer Ben can name a cake that I dislike more than fruit cake, fruit cake and steak. Okay, cool. Okay, cool. Yeah. All right.

Are you guys ready for your first cake? Ready for our first cake. Pretty simple one. Okay. Here we go. Okay. Start again. Banana cake. Love banana cake. Here we go. Okay, start again. Banana cake.

Love banana cake. It's juicy. It's succulent. And guess what? There's only one type of fruit so I can wrap my head around it. Plus it doesn't taste anything like banana, so I love it. Love banana cake. Love banana cake.

Another simple one. Carrot cake. Carrot cake. I freaking love carrot cake. My favourite thing about the carrot cake is the icing. My favourite bit about carrot cake is it tastes nothing like carrot. No, it does taste like carrot. It does not taste like carrot.

Banana cake tastes like banana. It does not. It does not. His taste buds are off. That's why he likes fruit cake. Carrot cake is sweet. Okay, yeah, it is, yeah. Carrot's got bits of carrot in it, though, doesn't it?

Yeah, it does have bits of carrot. Have you ever eaten a carrot? I'm sure I know what carrot tastes like. Anyway, I don't care. I don't care. Carrot cake is staying. Staying, yeah. Next one, stay or go, red velvet cake.

Oh, that is 100% staying. No, get rid of red velvet. Red velvet is awesome. The icing mixed with the succulent juiciness of the bottom inside of the cake. Nah, this is the best. Red velvet cake. I've never seen a cake trying so hard to be a cake. Said the guy who likes fruit cake.

Red velvet's trying too hard. There's too much going on. Yeah, right. But fancy. And fruit cake's not trying hard enough. I say get rid of red velvet. You want to keep it? That's okay.

No, red velvet is staying 100% of my favourite. It's had its time. Red velvet was very 2012. Fruit cake's from like the's okay. No, Red Velvet is staying 100% of my favourite. It's had its time. Yeah. Red Velvet was very 2012. Fruitcake's from like the 1800s. Yeah, touche. Okay. Another cake?

Another cake. Christmas cake. That's fruitcake. That's fruitcake. Is it actually fruitcake? I think so. Oh, no. I hate Christmas cake.

Jesus, Ben. They're the same thing. That's Christmas. That's fruitcake. Oh, God damn it, Ben. Is it the last one? No, we'll get another one. Thank God.

Ice cream cake. I love ice cream cake. Do you? Not, we'll get another one. Thank God. Ice cream cake. I love ice cream cake. Do you? It's not a cake. It's not a cake. It's not a cake. Ice cream cake. It's not a cake.

What about when it's got a base? What about cheesecake? Oh, cheesecake instead. Cheesecake is like the ultimate cake. Okay, cheesecake, carrot cake, red velvet. Rank them. See, it's hard to rank because some of them... Cheesecakes and fruitcake.

Fruitcakes at the bottom. A family from Michigan over in the States is making headlines after nearly a decade of having children. They had their first girl. Right. So this couple from Michigan. Wait, one decade? No, three decades.

Oh, you said a decade. Three decades. Nearly 30 years. That's the juiciest bet. They've got a 28-year-old and they just had another baby. Yeah, so their oldest is 28 and then they've had another 13 sons. Eh? So they've got 14 sons total.

Yeah. And they finally have welcomed their first baby girl into the world on Thursday, Maggie Jane. Damn it. A girl. They were one boy off having a rugby team. Well, she can jump in. Yeah, but yeah.

I'm sure she'd be fine. Oh, yeah, she'd be all right. I just meant if they wanted to go to the World Cup. But yeah, who knows what will happen in the future. Can you imagine growing up with 14 brothers? No, I can't. What a nightmare. You would never be able to date anyone.

Yeah. Because they would just be terrified. Oh, that's a great point as well. We've been doing some math on how it's possible to have a 28-year-old and a baby. So you said they're both 45, the people? Yeah, so they're both 45. And their eldest is 28?

Yeah, and then they've had 14 sons, and then they've just had their 15th. Which means their first kid was born when they were 17 years old. Yeah, and so it's doable. Although nine months before, she may have been 16 as well. But he would have been 16 too. Yeah, yeah. Yeah.

Like, to be honest, that's not the crazy part in this story to me. Okay. The crazy part is they had 14 boys in a row. That's a good point, actually. That's, what? They had a baby at 16? That's amazing. No, it happens quite a lot.

How do you get to even five boys and go, let's have another one? Well, that's what I mean. How do you get to 10 boys and you're like, love this, let's keep going? Or do you think they got to four boys and they're like- What was the number where they were going to stop? I reckon the number where they were going to stop wasn't a number. I reckon it was, we'll stop when we have a girl. When we have a girl.

Yeah. And then it just blew out a long way. 14 boys. What are the odds of that? That's crazy, isn't it? That you could have 14 boys in a row. It blows my mind that the human body can produce 14 people as well. Oh, no, there's a lot more than that in there.

Oh, yeah, but for a woman to go through that. Oh, for her to be able to give birth. Yeah, that's crazy. That's what I mean, that a woman could produce life 15, it's not 14 women to go through that. Oh, for her to be able to give birth. Yeah, that's crazy. That's what I mean, that women could produce life 15, it's not 14 times, 15 times actually. She's incredible. Do we know if they've stopped? It doesn't say, but they did mention how they don't have

one piece of pink clothing or girl toy in the house at all. That's not a problem. Which they said they're excited to go out and do that. And they're just stoked to finally have a daughter. We didn't find out the gender of Tui before she was born. And people were like, you're crazy, man. How do you know what clothes to buy? Gender neutral.

Yeah, I was like, here's some information. Babies don't care what they're wearing. They don't know. They don't know. No. I love, you know, cute clothes where you're like oh you know this could be either or yeah yeah yeah it's cute yeah um i find it really interesting people there's a lot of families that i can remember growing up like my nuna she had a girl first

and then she had a whole stack of boys how many boys she had had four. Four boys. And then she just really wanted another girl and she wanted another girl so bad that she grew my dad's hair really long. He used to put it in plaits. Really? Yeah. And then she finally gave up. She's like, put on this push-up bra. Yeah.

She gave up after she had my uncle Ricky and she was like, nah, I'm not having another girl. Oh, she never got her extra girl? She never got another girl, no. Bugger. My parents had three boys and desperately wanted a girl. So they rolled the dice one more time. Girl.

And had a girl. Got it. Yeah. You'd think so, but not in this family's case. 14 boys later. Yeah. I'm interested to hear from people who listen to this show about has this happened in your family?

Have you had, like, has your parents your parents like do you just have brothers? Yeah. Like heaps of brothers. And then maybe your parents tried and tried and tried for a girl and they got one or maybe they didn't. Maybe they didn't, yeah. I'll take either story. Maybe you're an exclusively female family.

Maybe you had, yeah, all sisters. Maybe there's eight sisters. And how many? Yeah, right. And no boys. Yeah, and one sisters. And how many? Yeah, right. And no boys. Yeah, and one bathroom. Can you imagine? Nightmare.

0800 DIAL ZM, is this like the case in your family? Do you have a lot of sisters, all sisters? Yeah. Or do you have a lot of brothers, all brothers? And then maybe it changed on like the seventh one. I don't know. Anyway, we've asked you this afternoon on 0800 DIAL ZM, and then maybe it changed on like the seventh one. I don't know. Bree and Clint. Anyway, we've asked you this afternoon on 0800-DIAL-ZM,

is a similar like situation the case in your family? Did your parents have all girls or all boys? Like what's the go? Yeah, up to a crazy number. Hey, Phillip. G'day, Phillip. G'day, guys. Yeah, so my parents tried three times for a girl and got three boys. Yeah.

But on my father's side, my cousin, she was actually the first girl in seven generations on my father's side of the family. Seven generations. Seven generations, all boys. Philip, I love that your parents never wanted boys at all. Like, not even after the first one. Or I'm going to try one time. Okay, boy, let's try again.

Yeah. How does that make you feel, Phillip? Oh, yeah, it doesn't really bother me.

Yeah, they tried three times and unfortunately got three boys. I'm sure they got three lovely boys. Phillip's like, we're trying not

to talk about it. This really hurts to bring it up, to be honest. It's quite... Alex. Alex, hi.

G'day, Alex. Hi. What's the case? What's the situation? So, in. G'day, Alex. Hi. What's the case? What's the situation? So in my mum's family, she's one of five girls. Okay. And they really wanted a boy, but they just never had one.

So my mum was like raised as a little tomboy. Oh. And then one of her sisters went on to have five boys and no girls after living in like an all-female house her whole life. Whoa. That would be so weird for her, wouldn't it? Some people believe in things like positions to get the

gender off the... Oh, that's such a load of BS. Or is it real? I don't know. Fun to try. Yeah, no. Those old wives' tales don't work. They don't work, Alex? Have you tried it? Alex is like, can confirm. There's a load of BS. There's so many good texts on the text machine.

There's a lot of texts coming through where people are saying that they would have all boys and they were like, okay, we're going to try again. So there's this one family had three boys. They tried again and they had twin boys. Oh, right. Which I mean wonderful. There's heaps of those texts too.

They're like one girl, one girl, one girl, two boys. There's one person that texts through and said, my auntie had triplet, so ready, wrap your head around this. My auntie had triplet boys and was desperate for a girl. They tried again and got twin boys. They thought they would try one more time and they ended up with triplet girls. Eight kids.

Eight kids from three. Hey, but they got girls. Imagine if you guys only did it to reproduce, and you ended up with eight. Oh, you got your girls. Gosh, fertile. Yeah, right? That's what I'm thinking.

That's insane. Finally, Chloe. Hi. Hi, Chloe. Hi. Hey, how are you going? Good, thanks. What's the situation in your family?

Not quite as impressive as the last one, but I'm one of five girls, no boys. No boys. And did your parents ever think, oh, let's try for a boy or no? They were happy with all their beautiful girls. Well, they never told us that they were trying for boys. They just had lots of girls. Do you have an inkling, Chloe? We did

have substitute boy names just in case, apparently, if we did turn out as boys. Oh, Chloe, what's your boy name? Yeah, what is it? Mine was Claude. Oh, yeah, that works. Chloe, Claude. I think I like Chloe better, though. What do you think, Chloe? Yeah, I think I like it better, too.

Okay, Britney, Black Magic or Summer Nights. What's it going to be? Did you get really far? Ooh. I don't know. Does that song hold up over the whole song? It's not the Megamix. Yeah, the Megamix is awesome.

The Megamix. I probably have to say you can't go past Britney one more time. I thought the same mix. Yeah, the mega mix is awesome. I probably have to say you can't go past Britney one more time. I thought the same thing. Yeah, maybe one more time. I don't think we've played that in a long time on this segment. Even though Anne wasn't feeling it. Should we check if she's still there? Anne, are you still there? Yes, hi.

Anne! Tell your nine-year-old that you've won Birthday Banger. Yeah, she's excited. Thank you. More, more, more. Yeah. Woo.

Correct. We've got a guy here called Joel who's filling in for Anastasia at the moment. I like this. Good idea. What year were you born in, Joel? 2000. Right. So you were born a year after that song went number one. And do you know that song by Britney Spears? Yeah. Yeah. No, I know that one. You do know it. Okay. Is it the oldest song you've ever heard? Not the oldest. I've heard a few other old ones, but yeah. It's a good song, though. You know that radio station, Gold?

Yeah. Do you think that they play that song? Nah. Nah. Nah. No, he knows his stuff. He's fine. Do you think that song's on The Breeze?

Nah. Nah. Nah. I don't know where the line is. It's a song from before he was born. Maybe The Hits. Maybe The Hits. Oh, yeah.

It'd be on The Hits. Yeah. Can you wrap your head around that? He was born a year after That song went number one Yeah A year after Yeah

He didn't even have to worry About the Y2K bug No It wasn't even a thing for him He just got born He was like Oh we survived We were floating around

In the womb Just chilling Yeah Yeah Have you ever owned a CD Joel? Yeah No I used to own all the Now CDs. Oh, you did? Yeah, yeah.

Do you know what a Discman is? I think that was like my early childhood, maybe like five. That was the go. Right. Do you remember the Discmans? Love Discmans. And then you'd go for a run and you'd try and put it in your pocket and your pants would fall down. 40 seconds of anti-shock.

You could only run in 40 second bursts and then you had to stand still for 40 seconds so your CD could catch up. I had the Sony anti-shock one. Shit, we're old. If people know me really well, Clint, I think something they would know about me is I have really bad anxiety when it comes to being late. It's the one thing that I just can't, I hate being late. Yeah.

I hate it. I find it really, yeah, it just triggers me. And you hate other people being late too. Yeah, I hate other people being late as well because I think it's one of those things, it always comes back to me, my parents always said that it can be a sign of, I guess, just, what's the word? Disrespect?

Yeah, maybe a little bit. It can be. It can also just mean the person you're dealing with is horrifically unorganised. Yeah, that too. And I mean, there's always certain, you know, exceptions and stuff. Right. I was late to something this morning. Were you?

Yes. And I'm never late to anything, like i just hate it it worries me and i was stressing out hardcore and i thought that the amount of time that i because it was an appointment for something so which makes it even worse yeah so it's not like you know because there's other people that are going to be waiting it wasn't see you when you get here exactly it was this is your time this is your time this is is your time. This is your window where you need to get this stuff done. So that made it even worse.

I thought I was still in an okay amount of time to be late. Okay. But then I'm never late so I don't know. Maybe it was too long and I felt like when I spoke to the person over the phone because I call ahead and tell people I'm going to be late because I hate when people don't know. because I call ahead and tell people I'm going to be late. That's good.

I hate when people don't know. And I called ahead and they were kind of like, oh, well, yeah, well, you might be able to still be like, you know, fit in, but we don't know. How late were you? Well, this is the thing. I want to ask you if you think. Okay, I need a bunch of criteria.

Okay. What was the appointment for? Well, it doesn't matter. It was an appointment where it was a set time. No, it does matter. Why? Because an appointment for, like if you were having an appointment with a doctor,

it's different to if you were having an appointment with a hairdresser, for example. Right, it was a dentist. Oh, it doesn't matter? It was a dentist. Okay, yeah. Dentist appointment. Okay. It was a dentist. Oh, it doesn't matter? It was a dentist. Okay. Yeah. Dentist appointment. Okay.

And how late were you? So, and I'll be honest, I was exactly 11 minutes late. Okay. And when did you let them know that you were going to be late? I let them know. Were you already late when you let them know? No. I let them know about 30 minutes before that I was going to be

and I said I'm going to be about 10 minutes late. And how long was your appointment? It was a fairly long appointment. It was about two hours. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, no, 11 minutes, you're fine. I would have thought you're fine with 11 minutes.

If everybody in the world was 11 minutes late, it would throw off the space-time continuum. But if the odd person is 11 minutes late and they let you know, then I feel like that's okay. So here's my question. What is the not okay amount of time to be late then? Oh, good question. There's a tipping point.

What is it? What's the tipping point? Is it 15 minutes? It's 15 minutes, yeah. Because life is lived in quarter hours minutes, yeah. So I was... Because life is lived in quarter hours, I think. So I was four minutes off. Yeah, you're four minutes off being too late.

Like a slither off. Yeah. But 10 minutes is quite a lot to be late to something. But if you let someone know, it's not that bad. Well, don't make me feel worse than I already do. No, but it is. It is. Like 10 minutes, you've balled it up.

Because for a dentist appointment, you should be five minutes early. Like you should be in the lobby. So really, actually, you're probably 16 minutes late, aren't you? If you're 11 minutes past the time you should have been in the chair. So you're saying you should always be five minutes early. Well, it's helpful to be five minutes early. Oh, no, usually. People, this stresses me out, people who time their life to the minute.

Because you're not accounting for traffic. You're not accounting for. Usually I am about half an hour early to things. Yeah. And producer Ben, can we keep that audio of Clint saying he's always going to be five minutes early? That'd be good. I've missed an important detail, by the way.

Why? Why were you late? Because if you were 11 minutes late for a really good reason, you're not that late. You don't want to know. Why were you 11 minutes late? You don't want to know. Why were you 11 minutes late?

What did you do? My puppy had diarrhea in the en suite, okay? Oh, I didn't really want to know. I told you you didn't want to know. Why were you 11 minutes late? What did you do? My puppy had diarrhea in the en suite, okay? Oh, I didn't really want to know. I told you you didn't want to know. Yeah, right. And I couldn't leave her there.

You should have said that to the dentist receptionist. Oh, see if I'm going to say that to her. Diarrhea is a no-question-asked situation. I told you I had cafe news for you

and I do have cafe news for you, specifically for people who live in Christchurch Okay Bustling cafe scene in Christchurch God, Christchurch has got it going on How good's Christchurch? How good is Christchurch?

We're excited to come down next week I don't think this place will be open by then Oh my god, I was going to say Can we go to this place then? Nah They're still trying to get the funds together To get it open Because coming to Christchurch

Is New Zealand's first ever adoptable dog cafe. It's called The Barkery, which is very clever, and it's getting set up in Christchurch, in the red zone actually. Why did Christchurch, oh, why do they get one? Why can't we get one? You can set one up.

Yeah, maybe I should. You won't. So what you can do is... Sounds like a lot of work. It's a lot of work. The idea is that you go and dine at this cafe. You hang out with the dogs. And you hang out with the dogs that are looking for homes.

And maybe you bond with that dog and you take it home. It's also dog friendly, so you can take your dog down there as well. I see, that's cool too. Plus, a portion of the profits from the cafe go back into dog shelters in Christchurch as well. I'm 100% on board. I literally googled dog cafes in Auckland last weekend. Couldn't find any. There's one major issue I see

with this rescue dog cafe though. Okay, imagine this. You bring a dog home every time you go to brunch? You go for brunch when you're hungover. And when you're hungover, you're vulnerable. And what do you want when you're hungover and vulnerable? A dog to cuddle. So every time you go to this brunch when you're hungover. And when you're hungover, you're vulnerable. And what do you want when you're hungover and vulnerable? A dog to cuddle. So every time you go to this cafe when you're hungover,

you come home with a dog, which isn't a bad thing necessarily. No, it's the perfect business model. But if you're an irresponsible person who's just really in the doldrums from the night before, you're not cut out to house a dog. You're going to get it back to the flat and the flat's going, this is a two-bedroom apartment and you've bought home a German shepherd. So just something to think about before you go to the barkery. I think

it's a great idea. What a brilliant idea. Because I mean, we've got cat cafes, which are great, but there needs to be more dog ones. Yeah, I just think before they let people take the dogs home from the barkery, maybe like breath test them or something. Yeah, they have to breathalyze them. They have to go under 0.04, the legal driving limit.
