We on? Yeah. Sorry, we were just waiting for Anastasia to get back from the free platter out in the office. No, no, I was actually going out to the office to see Celia about that thing that we just did. What thing? And there was... What thing? The New World thing.

The New World thing. Oh, right, right. And then, I mean, she wasn't there, but there was a cheese platter there. What are the odds? And you know, once you start getting the Dutch girl talking about cheese... She ain't there, but there was a cheese platter there. What are the odds? And, you know, once you start getting the Dutch girl talking about cheese. She ain't going to stop. I'm not going to stop. Yeah.

So that's why I've been. Who do you think loves cheese more, the Italian girl or the Dutch girl? I feel like we can appreciate that we like different types. What are the types of cheeses that are famous in Deutschland? Deutschland. You know that when you say Deutschland, you mean Germany? Oh, shit. Do I?

Because Germany's German name is Deutschland. Deutschland, is it? Whereas Holland. Or the Netherlands. The Netherlands. Yeah, yeah. Most people say the Netherlands, right? I wonder if we've got any Dutch podcast family members.

Post and the family if you want. Anyways, we like hard cheeses, whereas you're more like mozzarella. Oh, don't speak for us. Oh, sorry. I'll speak for us. No, we like hard cheeses just as much as the next person. Parmesan. Parmigiana.

What do you think that comes from? That's a key ingredient. Huh? Oh, that's Italiano. Surely Parmesan cheese. Probably. Very, very sharp-based cheese, though, isn't it? We probably should say that Clint is away today.

Oh, yeah. He's just not getting involved. Yeah, he's just like, I don't want to do cheese chat today. That's not like him. I love how you just got straight into roasting me for being late, completely forgetting to mention that Clint wasn't here. The question I was going to ask you both, what is the ultimate uh platter item oh like what what can't a platter go out on the table without

what's the platter for it's for like you know like a little fun dinner party like nibblies beforehand. The thing about this is that a platter relies. And don't say Cabanossi or lunch meat. I don't know what that is. So blue cheese. Blue cheese is a good one. See, you can tell Anastasia's 22 because she doesn't like blue cheese yet. Blue cheese is okay.

But if you're going to go for a platter, you've got to be realizing as a host making a platter, you've got to be catering for everyone's wants and needs. Nah, bullshit. You've got to get blue cheese. So you've got to go for a realatter, you've got to be realising as a host making a platter, you've got to be catering for everyone's wants and needs. Nah, bullshit. You've got to get blue cheese. So you've got to go for a brie or camembert. Oh, well, you have that too. Yeah.

But I think if you have a brie or a camembert, you then have a blue cheese to accompany it. I'm going to go a little bit left field and the butcher's daughter and go a cured meat. What? A prosciutto? A prosciutto. Yeah, possibly. Or a salami. Yeah, right. A lotciutto? A prosciutto. Yeah, possibly.

Or a salami. Yeah, right. A lot of Danish salamis I really like. Danish salamis can get out. Got to go the suppressor. Oh, suppressor. I love suppressor. That's my favourite salami because I'm Italian.

Suppressor is the most in the butchery down in Christchurch. That's the most popular one. And if you don't know what one we're talking about, it's the one with the biggest pieces of white fat in it. That's when you know you've got a good suppressor. What's your number one thing on a platter? You're taken to a party. You want to show off.

The one thing. You can't say blue cheese. I said that. You said sausages. What did you say? No, she said a cured said sausages What did you say? No, she said a cured meat Oh, a cured meat But you have to pick one

Salami? Salami? Or prosciutto? Let's go prosciutto I think prosciutto It looks more appealing Because that's an important part of the platter It's true

It's got to look good, feel good And I think prosciutto is a less invasive cured meat And it's light It goes well on most things I could talk about platters all day Anyway, what's yours? I would have to say lately My number one top pick is

Grapes No, not grapes Although I don't mind grapes on a platter Cheerios I think I just like grapes Cheerios Can you imagine? Oh, I really want to change mine

I'd be so in for Cheerios on a platter Can you imagine we rock up to Ben's for drinks He's like, guys, I'm going to put on a platter I would put out Cheerios, I really want to change mine. I really want to change mine, by the way. I'd be so in for Cheerios on a platter. Can you imagine we rock up to Ben's for drinks? He's like, guys, I'm going to put on a platter. I would put out Cheerios. I would do that. Ben's idea would just be like some sausage rolls and some Cheerios. Mate, I'd be so keen for that. Yeah, of course you would.

I bought Cheerios, and people listening in America will think that we're talking about the cereal. Nah, little... But Cheerios are the little red sausages. I bought some from the other day on a Saturday and just had them for lunch. Cold, hot, cold. Of course you did. I love cold. And my last hot.

Straight from the deli. What's yours? What's your platter thing? I was going to change mine as well. What were you going to change it to? Bouger mix. Random. Yeah, I've been really digging it at the moment.

Really random. What do you mean at the moment? You've been digging it for the last three years. Yeah, that's true. I love when you bring pretzels in. I know. I've got a bag at home at the moment. You haven't brought pretzels in the whole time I've worked here.

Really? But you always bring in a beurre jamax. Yeah. God, I'm really stumped now because I would have said blue cheese or salami. Yeah, when we went away for you, Ha-Hey. The salmon. Yeah. The salmon.

If you haven't got the salmon. That platter was one of the best platters. There was just this huge platter. Good, eh? Everyone brought something to it, and then I don't know who put it together. Me and Sophia put it together, yeah. Yeah, there you go. Yeah, just some cracked pepper on top.

The whole thing was massive. I was like, just two people carrying it down the stairs. Yeah. I was like, what is that? Well, that's what the platter out there was for. It was a salmon company that dropped off a platter. Oh, yeah. Salmon's a great addition to a platter.

I'm not a fish person. Yeah, but that's the issue. Any type of fish or? Yeah, I just don't like fish. I was on that platter. No fish at all. What about calamari? Okay, prawns and calamari are an exception.

Oh, garlic prawns. Cheesesteak. Get in around my mouth. Garlic prawns. Cheesesteaks. Oh, quince paste. Yes. Oh, quince jelly. I love quince paste. My mum Oh quince paste Yes I love quince paste

My mum makes quince jelly Does she? I made a crab apple quince jelly Oh really? Oh yes you did Remember that? Yeah not that long ago And you stole

Actually can I also just say one more thing I think that My family We have this joke that we're obsessed with bread like we just love oh my god like you know like a focaccia a shibata just whatever we'll eat it sourdough yeah is like sourdough i think that that your choice choice of bread and crackers can also make it or break it i hate hate big, thick crackers for platters. I like those wafer thin ones. I agree.

Because you want to taste the stuff you're putting on top. Yeah, yeah. Because they're just holding it all together, really. You don't have an item, clearly. You like all of it. I'm just going to go for the straight cob loaf. Just fuck off the rest of the platter. And if you don't know what a cob loaf is, you're not living.

Is it the loaf with the cheese in it? Yeah, you get a loaf and you dig out the whole middle. Is that a must-have, though, like on a normal platter? Yeah, I don't know. Absolutely. Never seen one. You put that right in the middle, bobs your uncle. Is it like similar to like a baked brie or something when they do that

and they put the brie or camembert in the middle? Yeah, kind of. I should make you one. They're like a staple in an Aussie party. Me and my sister went to this bougie bar. We were so excited and we ordered a baked brie. And it came out and literally it was a baked

I just come out really sunburned. Or baked. How are you guys? I'm like what's up? So the referendum went well. Real well. What are we having? What's this? Cheese. Oh my God, I love food.

Anyway, cool. One more week till that result comes out. Yeah. What are you guys thinking it'll be? I think it's going to be tight. The referendum in New Zealand. There's a lot of boomers here. Six white boomers, no white boomers.

Do you know that song? No, I was just humming along to it. It sounded catchy. And blaze through the air. It's an Aussie Christmas song. Is it? About kangaroos. I thought it was about boomers.

Replacing reindeer. Hey, we should play it. Six white boomers. Yeah. There you go. There you go. All right. Well, Clint's not here today.

Good show, though. It's a bloody ripping show. I'm hungry after, Clint's not here today, so. Good show, though. It's a bloody ripping show. I'm hungry after this podcast intro. Me too, actually. I might go get some salmon on the way home. Well, there's heaps out there. Al was about to give you some for free. Yeah.

I know, but then I don't trust salmon that's been out of the fridge. I agree. That's also a bit wrong. We don't know how long it's been on that platter. Well, that's all I mean. Actually, all of those platter items, we don't know how long they've been out there for. I don't trust. Or where they caught it. Yeah. Room platter. Actually, all of those platter items, we don't know how long they've been out there for. Or where they caught it.

Yeah, room temperature fish. Anyway. Speaking of room temperature fish, take us out. Oh, were you going to say to the dolphin? I don't have it here because I'm doing it from another studio. Also, I don't think a dolphin's a fish, is it? It's a mammal. We're not going into this.

It's actually a mammal. Hold on, mate. Did you find it? There it is. I literally can't. That's f***ed. Hey, Google. What's the time? It's 3pm.

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 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Oh, here we go. We're on air. Sorry.

We're one short this afternoon. Clint's away. Bree in with the producers giving me a hand this afternoon. Hello, guys. Hey, mate. Sorry, that was my fault. Didn't turn the studio on. It might have been a key moment, you know, coming to the studio.

I was like, I think I have to turn the studio off. No, wait, what do I have? I like that you owned up to it. No, good for you. I was going to blame the intern that's been roaming around cleaning everything, but I was like, no, it was my fault. You can't blame the poor intern. Yeah, well.

Were you guys ever the intern? Yeah, I've been an intern, yeah. Yeah? What was the worst job that you were made to do as an intern? I had to get your water the other day. Wait, I still do that for free. Hey, that's the worst job. I do that for you every day.

I always, like, you know, cover you with praise and elation. Cups of tea, biscuits. No, I can't remember a bad job. I just enjoy doing it. One time when I was an intern at a radio station a long time ago, I had to lick, I think it was about 500 envelopes. Oh, yeah, okay. And no joke, my tongue peeled.

Obviously, a pre-COVID time. This is a pre-COVID time. Yeah, are you not allowed to lick envelopes anymore? Well, no, everyone has those, the glue thing. Well, no, there's even... No, I still just give it a lick just in case. You know? It's like a good luck lick.

Yes, it is. Hey, coming up this afternoon, we've got plenty for you. We're going to give away $250 thanks to Massey University just before 4 o'clock. So stick around for that. It's going to be a retrain your brain quiz. But before that, this is exciting because an old teen drama, one of everyone's favourites is being added to Netflix.

And it's pretty exciting for anyone who grew up in the late 90s, early 2000s. This will be like a staple show for you. So I thought next we could do a bit of a TV theme show game. Okay. So if you think you know your late 90s, early 2000s shows, call now 0800DIALZM. You'll go head-to-head against someone else and we'll give away some mobile fuel.

Yeah, let's do that. For the winner. Yeah. If you're the best at guessing TV themes. Pretty simple. But before then, Lady Gaga, Ariana Grande, rain on me on ZM. Bree and Clint.

And this is exciting news for anyone who grew up watching the teen drama Dawson's Creek. Never seen it. Never seen it? No. Maybe a bit too early for you. Maybe. Because you're, what, 27? Yeah, something like that.

And Anastasia, you were three? Yep, that's probably about right. You probably were about three. Dawson's Creek, a massive hit of the late 90s and early 2000s, is coming to Netflix. So if you've ran out of things to watch... I can finally watch it. You can finally watch it if you want.

I thought it'd be fun because of this exciting news to have a bit of a late 90s, early 2000s game of TV theme songs. So what we're going to do is we're going to get two people on. That's you, Misty. Hello. Hello. You'll be taking on Imogen. Hi, Imogen.

Hello. Oh, no, I think we just lost Misty. No, we didn't. Oh, no, we've got Jess as backup. Hi, Jess. Oh, she's dropped. Hi. Jess, you're't? Oh, no, we've got Jess as backup. Hi, Jess. She's dropped. Hi. Jess, you're stepping in, okay?

Okay. Alright, it's Jess V Imogen. Do you guys think you guys know your TV show theme songs? I hope so. Okay, perfect. This is how we're going to do it.

It's going to be Best of Five and the person who gets the Best of Five will win the mobile field. Okay, cool, yeah. Okay? They also think that's cool, yeah.

Yeah. All right, buzz in with your name when you know what TV show this song came from. Anyone. Jess, I'm not sure. Jess, give it a go. It wouldn't be, oh, what's the other one? Oh, no, I can't think of it, sorry. I'm going to give you a hint.

It was kind of had the same people as Laguna Beach had in it. Not, no, Malibu Risking? No. Imogen, do you want a free guess? Oh, no, the Malibu Risk game? No. Imogen, do you want a free guess? Oh, no. No clue. Guys, it was The Hills. The Hills.

Remember that show? The Hills. No, I don't remember that one. Big hit from the 2000s. All right, guys, here comes TV theme number two. Oh, Jess. Jess is in. Jess is straight in. Buffy the Vampire Slayer. You got Jess. Jess is in. Jess is straight in.

Buffy the vampire player. You got it. Nice work. Perfect. One to Jess. All right, here we go. Here comes TV theme number three. I don't want to be anything other than what I've been trying to be lately.

All I have to do is think of me. Are you guys there? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'll give you guys there? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'll give you guys a hint. The TV show, the name of it, also a suburb in Auckland. Oh, that's big. No clue. No clue. No one.

Guys, it was One Tree Hill. No. No one watched that one with Chad Michael Murray? No. Hell no. No one watched that one with Chad Michael Murray. He was so good. All right. Jess still ahead with one point. Here comes song. Surely this one.

TV show number four. Come on, guys. Jess. Jess is in. The OC. She's got it. It is the OC. Massive hit of the 2000s.

Let's just play the last one for good measure. Jess, you're two in front. Here it comes. Set in New York City. XOXO. Gossip Girl. Jess, is it the Gossip Girl? Yeah, well, Brie said it.

I didn't see it. I'm sorry I didn't hear it. No, you're already two in front. You've picked up the mobile for your nice work. I just picture people. I don't know if people, maybe it was just me, but yelling at their radio then being like, how do you not know that's One Tree Hill?

Anyway, that's the TV thing. It was a good giveaway as well. Dawson's Creek coming to Netflix very soon. Bree and Clint. I saw an interesting article today, guys, because Clint's away at the moment. The oldest member of the show, Clint. Yeah, true. How old's he now?

37. Going on. Going on. He's getting on there. Yeah, yeah. Whereas we're the youthful ones of the show. Yeah, well. Put myself in that category. Yeah, I was like. Yeah, yeah. Whereas like we're the youthful ones of the show. Yes, well. Put myself in that category.

Yeah, I was like, okay, just. But I saw an article where scientists talked about at what age is your brain the most powerful? Right, okay. Essentially, what age are you when your brain is at its peak? Yeah. Like performance, you know, when's it really hitting its straps? Fully grown?

I don't know. It's obviously not 27. No, I like that comment. Anyway, so I was like, oh, I'm interested in this. Always, you know, interested to find out when you're hitting your straps, your peak. It says here in this article that your cognitive performance increases sharply up to the age of 20.

Okay. So you mature a lot like in those late teens. Yeah. And then it reaches its absolute peak performance level. Yeah. At when, drum roll, you're 35. Really? Yeah.

So apparently, yeah, it takes you your brain that much longer to get to that peak performance level. Yeah, right. Does that mean Clint's peaked? Yeah, he's peaked and he's over the other side. But then technically he's the closest. Yeah, true, yeah. So that would mean he's the most intelligent at the moment.

Well, it depends on how intelligent he is and what his peak is. Or his brain is at its most powerful. Yes. Wow. Which is concerning. I'm just kidding. Yeah. I thought it'd be interesting because, you know,

this article says obviously you build up to that age of 35. Right, yeah. So the closer you are to 35 in your 20s, the more obviously your brain is functioning at a higher level. So obviously we've got producer Ben who's 27 and we've got Anastasia

who's 22 turning 23 soon. But we'll say 22. So technically producer Ben should be operating his brain at a higher functioning level. That's exciting. I think he is. I don't think I'm there yet. I've come up with a few questions

to test this out. I've sprung this on you. Can we turn this into a Google Down edition? We'll play that later in the show. Alright guys, very simple questions. Just yell out your answer. This is not going to go well.

Yell out your answer when you think you know. Question number one. Yeah. What is 12 times 12? 144. He's onto it. Okay, well, your statistics are working so far. All right, let's try it one more time.

That was lucky. Here comes question number two. Yeah. What flies without wings? What flies without wings? What flies without wings? A bee? What flies without wind? What flies without wings?

Sorry. It's not wind. Leaves. Caterpillar. Leaves. They fly. They fly in the wind. Think more outside of the box.

What flies without wings? Wings. Is it an insect? Is it a riddle? It is a riddle. What flies without wings? Wings. Is it an insect? Is this a riddle? It is a riddle. Well, she's using your brain. What flies without wings? What flies without wings?

Don't say Red Bull. Red Bull? No, I don't know. I have no idea. I can't think of it right now. What flies without wings? I'm not good with riddles. There's been so many people on the text machine who would know.

People on the text machine. Cool, you guys have Google. What flies without wings? Yeah. Time. Oh, cool, man. Yeah, sweet. But Ben did get one out of two, so.

Oh, it was only two questions? Yeah, I mean, I couldn't be bothered to write another one. I'm only 30, so my brain. Well, I'm happy with that. I've got another five years. I'm really happy with what I, yeah. Put that one on your resume, mate. That's 50%.

Why not? It's time for the latest. From iHeartRadio. This is the latest live from LA with Dean McCarthy. Dean, massive news for Jason Derulo and Josh685, the Kiwi. What's happening? Oh, my goodness. This is so crazy. They have hit a milestone when their single Savage Love went to number one on the charts.

Now, that's reason to celebrate, right? That's exciting. Let me tell you what Jason Derulo did, and I'm sure he is absolutely regretting it. He was at a very fancy restaurant called Catch in West Hollywood. Super gorgeous. Mariah Carey always goes there. The bill, he said, I'm going to shove everyone in the whole bar drinks. The bill comes $112,000.

Whoa! $112,000 was the bill. And you should see on his Instagram, his face, when he announced he was getting around a drink and probably didn't realise it was going to cost $112,000. Wait, so you're telling me, Dean, one round of drinks costs $112,000? It's a big restaurant, but yes,

it's a very, very expensive restaurant. And there would have been champagne and there would have been, you know, Merv and all this kind of thing. He shot everyone in the bar. Maybe he got everyone's bill. He might have actually got everyone's bill because that's an incredible amount of money.

But there you go. That's insane. Sucks to be the person that left it up until he arrived. And to put it into perspective, I mean, that's, you know, the first Kiwi, I'm pretty sure, since law to have a number one single on Billboard charts globally. So it's huge and massive. And a big congrats to Jason Derulo and Josh685. The latest is brought to you by 2 Degrees.

You can give 2 Degrees Broadband a whiff yourself at 2degreesbroadband.co.nz. Bree and Clint. Clint's away today, but the producer's in giving me a hand, which is good because I had an idea for a new segment I wanted to launch this afternoon, guys. Okay, yeah. And made a little opener to jazz it up.

Here it is. 7.8 billion people live in this world, but can one of you please explain this? Mind-blowing. Do you ever have those questions where it just blows your mind and you're like- Can't quite work it out. You're like, wait a minute. That's so true. Why didn't I think of that?

Why didn't I think of it like that? I thought we could break down a few of those questions in this segment. I want to know from people on 9696, text us on 9696. Does any of these blow your mind? Yeah, right. I'm ready. Okay, are we ready? Here comes number one.

If someone is really good looking but has a terrible personality, does that make them clickbait? Mind-blowing. I'm going to use that one. You're clickbait. Yeah, yeah. Mind-blown. Mind-blowing.

All right, what about this one? Ready? Wrap your mind around this. Yeah, yeah. Mind blown. Mind blowing. All right, what about this one? Ready? Wrap your mind around this. Yeah. When you clean a vacuum cleaner, are you technically a vacuum cleaner? Mind blowing. I did that this morning.

And I'm officially a vacuum cleaner. You're a vacuum cleaner. It's true. You're doing its own job. Yeah I'm officially a vacuum cleaner. You're a vacuum cleaner. It's true. You're doing its own job. Yep. What? Mind blowing. Walk out.

What about this one? I'm in the zone. You're in the zone now. You're pumped. You ready? If Cinderella's shoe fits so perfectly, then why did it fall off in the first place? Mind blowing.

I mean, who loses a shoe? See, that's more just a childhood lie. I feel lied to. Yeah, you feel lied to. Ryan, Ryan. Got trust issues after that. Here comes another one. Yeah. How far up their face do bald people wash?

Mind-blowing. Never ends. Just as a whole. It's their whole face. Because obviously, where do we stop? At our hairline. Yeah, right there. And then you just keep going to the neck.

How far do they go? Mind-blowing. All right, I'm going to finish on my last one, which I quite like this one. And this really did blow my mind. Here it comes. The only part of your reflection you can lick is your tongue. Oh!

Mind-blowing. I didn't like that one. Yeah. Brianne Clint. Brianne Clint. Clint away this afternoon. The producer's in. Giving me a hand, and it's good because I feel like,

producer Anastasia, you'll be able to use this life hack. And maybe you too, Producer Ben, but I just don't think you'd be in this situation as much. Okay. I'm here to listen anyway. This is pretty much a life hack for anyone who gets pretty much sent unsolicited nudes. Oh.

Yeah, not me. You're not getting any of those? No. No. And look, let's be real. I'm talking about the DPs. You know, we all have received an unsolicited one of those. Producer Ben, remember that time you sent me one?

No. That's not true. It was an accident. He's blushing. It was an accident. No, no, that's not true. But it does happen in all seriousness a lot to females. I can't speak for gay men.

It might happen in that community as well. But a lot for females. We do just randomly have pictures flying into our DMs. Didn't ask for them. Never asked for them. No, especially on dating apps. People just seem to be all up in your face. Hey, how are you?

Here's a pic. Essentially, yes. I don't understand that. Pictures on Tinder? I'm pretty sure you can, yeah. I don't know. Anyway, this story has come out, which I think is such an amazing life hack for anyone

who doesn't want to receive these pictures anymore. So essentially this woman has talked about on Twitter how she was on a dating app and this guy slid into her DMs and he said hello and she goes, oh, hi, how are you? Which was really nice. And his next form of communication was a picture of, yeah, his member. Bad idea. Straight away, second message in, boom, right in your face. What do you think that's going to achieve? As a guy, there's no way in my head I'm like,

God damn it, this is just going to fire off straight away. Yeah, what are you thinking when you're sending it off? You're like, God, this is going to get her. I'm going to win her over. I'm going to win her over with this. This is a sure thing. Anyway, so she was like, oh, here we go. You know, another unsolicited one.

So she's come up with this plan where she's like oh i'm gonna pretend like to be an auto reply message from the data dating app you know when you get like an auto reply and it's like an actual official message from someone from the app so this is what she's done she's written this as a message and it says in capital letters, auto reply, double ellipses. We have detected the transmission of unsolicited pornographic images of a potential illegal nature. Code 36489A.

And your device's IP address has been forwarded to the police department pending an investigation. And then it says if this is a mistake, reply stop. I bet he's just going, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop. Anyway, the guy's replied stop straight away. And then he's obviously started to panic because then he's replied

stop again a second time. Hoping that another auto-reply would say we've received the stop. It's all put to a stop now. Anyway, it ended with him deleting his account. Really? Yep. She went back in. She went back in, deleted the account,

and maybe he won't do it to someone else. She is such a genius for that move. Yeah. Pretty smart from her. That was really smart. Yeah. I mean, awkward if the police actually do turn up. All right, guys.

It's time for Google Down. Google, are you down, down, down, down, down, down, down? What the hell? I think Google's actually... That's right, Google Down, probably the most competitive game on our show where you go head-to-head with everyone in the studio to see who is the fastest Googler of the bunch.

Yeah, I'm ready. Producers get very into this. And we're playing for mobile fuel this afternoon. Big thanks to mobile. That would be nice to go home with that. Six cents per litre every day at mobile, Producer Ben. We don't win the fuel. Okay, fine.

The listener wins the fuel. Fine. Charlotte's going to try and win it. Hello, Charlotte. Hi. How do you go on the Google? Pretty good. Pretty good?

Okay, well, look, in past weeks, I feel like it hasn't been a level playing field, but I feel like I'm about to squash all that right here. I don't think I'm going to like this. I don't think you're going to like this, Anastasia, because, I mean, Charlotte, what will you be Googling on today? My laptop. Oh, you've got a laptop.

Okay, perfect. So we're changing the rules now to whatever the listener has, whatever they're Googling on, that's what you will be Googling on each week. Okay? I don't own an iPad. Yeah, yeah. Well, technically that's like a phone, so we'll go phone.

All right, Charlotte, you're on a laptop. The producers are on their laptops. It is the first of three right questions. Now my Google's actually down. Is it actually? That's so funny. I'm not even joking. Hold on.

That's right. My Google Drive is just absolutely hacked in. This is what happens when you try to play with Google Down, Bree. Yeah, that's what happens, mate. You shouldn't be screwing with Google Down. If you give me the questions, I could use it. Yeah. What do you mean?

I don't know. I was going to run the game. Oh, no. No, they've been cheating. There is so much stuff I need to scroll through to get to this. How did this even happen? I'm devastated. Oh, no.

Hold on, wait. The issue with this game is Bree completely runs it. She doesn't even let me or Anastasia in on it. So I'm like, just give me the questions. I'll do it. She's like, I want to run the game. Have you, be honest, have you ever cheated and gone in and had a look at the questions? I don't know.

I would imagine. I know. I imagine I know where you keep them, but I haven't gone in to cheat. No. I don't ever go in to cheat. Okay. I've nearly got there. I've nearly got there.

Charlotte, you ready? Just making sure you're ready. Let's go. Charlotte, have you got your Google Drive open and ready? Have you got a fresh tab open? Yeah. I do have a fresh tab. Okay, all right.

All right. Are we still padding? I'm still padding. That's all right. We've got heaps of time anyway, so it's fine. Where are you calling from, Charlotte? Auckland. Oh, yeah.

So you reckon you've got some pretty speedy fiber there? Some good fiber. Yeah, that's... 5G. Yeah. I mean, hopefully. I do pay for it, so hopefully. Yeah, no.

No, you sound like you've got everything set up. Do you want me to go to a song? This is an absolute punish. Am I going to have to go to a song? Is Google actually that down? Because I can. Google? I can't believe Google's actually down.

Okay. Okay. For the first time. Yeah? No. Let's go to a song. Okay. Let's go to a song, Charlotte.

I'm so sorry. And we'll actually bring Google back. And Google down for the first time ever. Google's actually down. Definitely Benny on ZM with Brinkley. If you've just joined us, you wouldn't believe it, but for the first time ever, Google was actually down. Google, are you down, down, down, down, down, down, down?

What the hell? I think Google's actually, I swear, calmer. It has weird ways of working, doesn't it? I have literally just gotten back to the spot I needed to get back to. And luckily, Charlotte, are you still with us? I am still with you. She's ready. Is your Google still up and running, Charlotte?

It is. Okay, perfect. So you Google still up and running Charlotte? It is. Okay, perfect. So you will be Googling on a laptop the producers. You will be taking them on. They're both on laptops as well. It's the first to three. You need to yell out the answer as soon as you know it. Don't yell out your name. Just yell out the answer straight away. First to three.

Charlotte, good luck. Here we go. Question number one. What does CIA stand for? Everyone's Googling. Central Intelligence Agency. That's producer Anastasia's guess. Okay, she's got it. It is Central Intelligence Agency. One point to producer Anastasia.

I took too long, because I was like, I think I might know this. And I was like, no, Ben, Google. I did the same thing. You can yell it out if you know it. Which I don't know it's going to be the case for the next question. Here comes question number two. What is the current population in New Zealand? Get Googling.

Obviously, 4.886 million. I'll give it to her. From 2018. From 2018. It's true. I'll give it to her. It's from 2018. From 2018. It's true. I'll give it to her. It's the first one that comes up on Google. Guys, you need to stop producer Anastasia with this question, okay?

Well, it's technically 5 million at the moment and that's 2020. March 2020. But. Doesn't matter, next question. All right, question number three. How many tigers currently live in the wild? Get Googling. How many tigers?

3,900. Producer Ben's gotten in there. I would say because of the phone delay, Charlotte. Do you reckon you want to give it to Charlotte? All right, he's given you the point, Charlotte. Yeah, there's about a second on that phone. I reckon she's in. Two points to Anastasia, one point to Charlotte.

I had an embarrassing moment there. I kept on pressing the bracket button instead of enter. That'll get you. That'll get you. I've let my listen. All right, here's probably my favourite question in Google Down this afternoon. Everyone ready? Yeah, I'm ready.

And you could have a guess at this one, depending on how you feel about it. What is the most popular type of white wine in the world? Pinot. Chèvre. No. Chardonvre. No. Chardonnay. Oh, producer Adam Stacey. And that's why, everyone, you should just use Google.

Google it. Google, are you down, down, down, down, down? Sorry, Charlotte. I actually feel kind of bad now. Yeah, probably. Did you have fun, Charlotte? I did, actually. Thanks for playing.

Brought to you by the Spinoff Podcast Network in partnership with Spark Lab. Thank you, Charlotte. We really appreciate it. Google down, hopefully back next week, unless it's actually down again. Yeah, that was... That was awkward. Clint away today, but the producers are giving me a hand, which is good.

I need a bit of a hand at the moment. What's up? It was about, what, two, nearly three weeks ago now, I became a new dog mum. Yeah. Kept it a secret for a few days, though. I did keep it a secret for a few days. I wanted it to be a surprise.

Yeah, smart, yeah. Yeah, I became the mum of a can terrier called Whitney Houston. That's the name we gave her. Anyway. Is it actually her name on all the documents? All the documents. Really? Like I've just gotten a text from her vets because we've got to take her

in for her immunisations tomorrow. Yeah, right. And it says Whitney Houston is booked in. Look, see? Whitney Houston is booked in. Yeah, right. She got mail sent to her the other day. It said Whitney Houston on it.

Right. You know, she's a diva. Good on her. I'm not going to lie. I don't think people talk about enough how tough it can be having a puppy sometimes. Like a child. Yeah, well, I'm not going to compare it to that because I

will get roasted. But it is like I'm assuming similar. You sleep a lot less. You have to watch them 24-7. You have to feed them. You have to pick up their poos. The hard thing about your dog, it's really tiny. So it gets into a lot like. You have to watch them 24-7. You have to feed them. You have to pick up their poos. Yeah. The hard thing about your dog, it's really tiny. So it gets into a lot like you have a nice deck out in front of your house and you've had

to board the whole thing up and I'm like, oh yeah, of course you've got to do that. It'll tuck under the deck. It literally just runs under everything. She's like so confident as a puppy and you're just so terrified something's going to happen to them. Anyway, we had a disaster. Today? Yeah. Oh no. So,'s only bare young, yeah. Anyway, we had a disaster. Today? Yeah.

Oh, no. So, well, we figured it out today. So what happened was is my partner made a bed head for our bed. Very, you know, very crafty. You show me some photos. It was real. She did an amazing job. Real fancy and spent heaps of time on it and just finished it just before we got Whitney. So very pumped about it.

Very excited. You know, cost quite a lot of money because made it ourselves. I don't like where this is hitting. Anyway, Whitney Houston, my 10-week-old Canteria puppy, she loves to go under the bed. She loves to go under things. Yeah, the couch. Under the couch, the bed, everything. Anyway, since we've gotten her

you know sometimes when she's in the room and she's playing she'll go under the bed and like we leave her under there for a few minutes and then try and get her out and you know because we're always watching her anyway so she's been under the bed quite a lot yeah anyway uh this morning i was like oh where is she and then i realised she's under the bed, so I had to look under the bed because I don't know what she does under there. And no joke, the entire underneath of the bed covered in fluff. She has pulled every piece of fluff stuffing out of the bed head. Oh, no. And she's completely destroyed it.

Like it's completely done. How dare you, Whitney? Your partner must have been distraught. It's brand new. Oh, she doesn't know yet. Doesn't she know? No, I don't think she knows the extent. Anyway, I just wanted to have a real chat

and just talk about the real things that go on when you get a puppy. What are you going to do with puppy training? Are you going to try to tackle that yourself? Yeah, well, we've already started. She already knows how to sit and stay and go to bed. She is pretty well behaved. Like she's not bad. When she's not biting.

Yeah, yeah. When she's not biting us. No, she's going to puppy school next week because socialisation is really important. What does the injection next week mean? Does that mean she can go for walks? She can shoot off everywhere? Yeah, so tomorrow she gets her second injections, which means after a couple of days she can go for walks? She can shoot off everywhere? Yeah, so tomorrow she gets her second injections, which means after a couple of days she can go outside

and not just be in the yard and go stir crazy. Take her for a walk. Get her tired out. Oh, she doesn't know how to walk on the lead yet. That's what dogs are for. Step by step. Yeah, she's a baby. We wanted to know this afternoon because a lot of people out there

have pets and a lot of stuff goes wrong. But we wanted to know, yeah, the nightmare stories, the disasters. What did your pet find? What did it do? What did they ruin? What did they get into? One time when I was looking after my auntie's dogs, they pooed inside and the robo-vac picked it up

and dragged it to every corner of the house. That's disgusting. I've seen those. I've seen the videos online about it. Oh my gosh. Nightmare. And my auntie's a clean freak. Oh yeah, she came home. Just smelt like a absolute dump. Oh, how do you get rid of that?

Anyway, I want to hear from you guys. 0800 dials at M. Let's all have a vent. You can text us also on 9696. Pet. What'd the pet do? Nightmare stories. Call us now. Bree and Clint We're talking pet horror stories Because I'm just keeping it real

Producer Ben Got my beautiful puppy About three weeks ago And I love her to pieces But she is a nightmare sometimes She's a pain at the moment Like she's a pain in my ass sometimes But she's damn cute

She's very cute But she loves to eat everything off the floor, bite anything that isn't her toys, including my arms. She loves to dig, loves to bark, she loves to Your arms are scarred up. Yeah, my arms are a mess. She's really good at training though,

like I've actually taught her quite a lot of things. We're trying not to scratch you. I'm trying, mate. I'm trying. We took her to our friend Dan's house the other night. Yeah. And when we got there, like he was like excited. I'm trying, mate. I know. I'm trying. We took her to our friend Dan's house the other night. Yeah. And when we got there, like, he was, like, excited. He's got a dog. Yeah, he's got a dog.

Yeah, but he wasn't there. But he was excited to see her. He loves dogs. He was like, oh, yeah, bring her over. It's great. Anyway, he'd just gotten a brand new couch. Oh, right. Whitney's gone.

She'd gone under the couch. And we were like, oh, she'll be fine. She's under the couch anyway. Completely ripped at the bottom of the couch. But Dan knows, right. Whitney's gone under the couch. And we were like, oh, she'll be fine. She's under the couch anyway, completely ripped at the bottom of the couch. But Dan knows, though. No, he didn't realise. We left pretty quick. Well, Dan, if you're listening, don't look under the couch.

You'll find absolutely nothing. I mean, it's underneath the couch. What a beautiful couch that is. We've asked you guys this afternoon on 0800-DIAL-ZM, come on, vent a little bit. What's your pet horror story? What have they done? Let's go to Matt. Hi, Matt. Hey, guys. How are you? Good, thanks. First of. What's your pet horror story? What have they done? Let's go to Matt.

Hi, Matt. Hey, guys. How are you? Good, thanks. First of all, what pet are we talking? What's their name? What type of pet? So we've got a dog.

He's about five years old. His name's Bear. He's like a lamb, sort of. Okay, cool. Yeah. And what did Bear get up to? All right. So we used to live rurally in a lifestyle property, my wife and I,

and we ended up building a dog run for him and he, not so sure, he doesn't like wind and rain. Very brave dog. He ended up ripping off pickets off the gate.

Oh no. And then getting out and then ripping off baseboards from the house, getting under the house. Oh my goodness. He then snapped a copper pipe

which then led to our tank of water so then we lost about 40,000 litres of water. Oh my God. Oh, my goodness. He then snapped a copper pipe, which then led to our tank of water. So then we lost about 40,000 litres of water. Oh, my God. Oh, that's not good. Fill the dam. No. Fill the dam.

We had to get a new copper pipe and a new tank of water. So it was about two and a half grams worth of damage. Was this when it was a puppy, Matt, or recently? This was about two years ago. Three years old? He's just a naughty boy then, Matt. He's a naughty lab. Yeah, he was playing out there, boy.

But did you forgive him, though, Matt? Do you still love him? Yeah. Yeah, fair enough. Would have taken a while for you to warm back up to him. We appreciate the call. Thanks, Matt. What about you, Michael?

What happened? Hey, how are you? Good, thanks. What did your pet do? So we have a pet rabbit, male rabbit. Okay. She escaped and found the male rabbit. And we have 11 other rabbits now.

Wait, so your rabbit was a lady of the night? Indeed she was. She escaped for a while for about two hours. To like a neighbour's rabbit? No, we went back onto a reserve with his wild rabbit. Oh no, so she's went off with the bad boy rabbit. That's the one.

That is amazing. Living rabbits. What did you do with them? Yeah, living rabbits. We got donated to the SPCA and they've taken them. Oh great. That's a great idea. Kept one. As a reminder not to let her out at night again. taking them. Oh, great. That's a great idea. Oh. Kept one. Kept one. Yeah.

As a reminder not to let her out at night again. I want to read this text. It's really great. Someone texted through because we're talking pet disaster stories and someone said, when our Goldie was a pup, she was always getting diarrhoea. We often woke up in the night to a stench where she would be swimming in a pool

of poo in the bottom of her crate. That's, yeah. And what is that goldie? Like a golden retriever? A golden retriever. Yeah, right. We always wake up to Whitney's, yeah, poos in the bathroom. Yeah.

Yeah, she just loves to go wherever. Wouldn't it be nice? Yeah, if you could just. A little area. I think you need to train them to do that. To go in the bathroom. Oh, no, probably not. A little area, like a little.

It's a tiny, it's like a cat. You can do a litter. She's a hidden miss. Yeah, right. Sometimes the bathroom. Oh, no, probably not. A little area, like a little... It's a tiny... It's like a cat. You can do a litter. She's a hit and miss. Sometimes she gets it right, sometimes she doesn't. Let's finish with Kelly. Hi, Kelly.

Hi, how you doing? Good. What is your pet disaster story? What type of pet are we talking? Oh, it sounds to be quite a familiar one. I've got a labby, a chocolate one. Oh, yeah. The labbies love to play up, don't they?

Oh, they do. Yeah, they do. I've got multiple stories. Yeah, we had one night and we put all the containers and stuff in the bin in the pantry like you do and wake up to a bit of rustling in the middle of the

night, walk out turn the lights on, butter chicken juice and bones and chicken sag all over the pantry area, all over the kitchen, all over the carpet and over the couch. And it had been a trail because she had got a bed in the lounge and there was a trail leading from the pantry all the way through

to her actual bed. So it was kind of like, yeah. You knew who did it. Kelly, do you think she got home late from a night out? You know, like we always do when we stumble to the fridge and we're like, oh, I love a butter chicken. Yeah, well, she managed to open the pantry

door, which we still to this day can't imagine how she did that. She deserves a butter chicken. We visit Rolby the way, eh? Kelly, you should buy her own butter chicken for her birthday. Sounds like she likes it. One more text on this pet disaster stories. Someone texted through and they said,

my husky killed the neighbour's rabbit and I had to pull it from its mouth. God, that's dark, Bree. That was dark, wasn't it? Let's finish on a different one, shall we?

There it is, birthday banger. It's Britney, bitch. Whoa, Brie. You were meant to beep it. I knew that was going to be a disaster. There she is with her comeback, Gimme More. I feel like it's a, I mean, Clint's away. The kids will play.

Is it back-to-back Britney today? What's the song? Is it this? Oh, this is a banger. That's good, eh? There's also Womanizer, which I feel like doesn't get enough of a run. I was playing before and I was like, circus is great. Circus is great.

Love circus. 9-6-9-6. Yeah. What would you like to hear? Is it back-to-back Britney? What song would it be? I love how she's English in this. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah, but a what? A batch. Wow. I might as well just play this at this point. Yeah, we've already played half of it. We'll go to the chorus. Come on, wave to the drop.

Here we go. Neck and toe. Yes. What year did this come out? I don't know, but she's a queen. Britney Spears, hashtag free Britney. Thoughts are with you. Free and Clint.

Clint away today. He's sick. Hopefully he's back very soon. The producers in giving me a hand this afternoon, though, and I feel like this is going to be right up your two's alley. Okay. Okay. I want to talk sm right up your two's alley. Okay. I want to talk smuggling. Oh, smuggling. I do love these stories. Are you saying that maybe we've done some smuggling? I don't know, maybe. Maybe.

You seem like shifty types. I don't want this to be incriminating me. Anyway, there's a story out about police in India arresting a man after he was found to be smuggling something into the country through the airport. Okay.

What do you guys think he was smuggling? I don't know, but I would never smuggle anything through an airport, so straight away, wouldn't do it. Yeah, bad place to smuggle anything. Food? I was going to guess food, but maybe... Everyone would say drugs, right? Everyone, every normal person would go,

they were smuggling drugs. Not this guy. He wasn't smuggling drugs. He was smuggling gold. Was he? Yeah, so it turns out, because I was like, oh, is it illegal to bring in gold? And apparently it isn't illegal,

but the goods and services tax on gold in India is 18%, meaning it can be really profitable to smuggle it in so you don't have to pay the tax. Is it like the same as not bringing in large amounts of money? You try bringing gold instead of notes and dollar bills and stuff? Something like that. So yeah, anyway, a lot of people try and smuggle gold so they don't have to pay that tax so they can get even more money when they sell it, right?

Where do you think this young man had 972 grams of gold? What? Really? Where do you think he smuggled that? Take one guess. It was carrying a big load. Yeah. Definitely. Definitely. And was carrying a big load. Yeah. Definitely in his pants.

Pants. I mean, technically, yes, it was in his pants, but it was. Undergarments? It was also up his rectum. Was it? Gold's so heavy. It's real heavy. Can you imagine?

We're not talking... You're going to be clenching the whole way. It was 972 grams. Can you imagine trying to hold that in? It would be like doing a squat for four hours. Technically, he's smuggling stuff with his behind, with his bum. Does that make him a certain type of pirate? Yes.

Because it's gold. He's a pirate. He's got treasure. Yeah, wrong music. Can you imagine if he comes in and he goes, Arrgh! I found gold! Where is it?

It's up this guy's anus! That's enough, That's enough. That's enough. Urgh, me heart here. Brian Clint. Clint Away, the producer's in, having a bit of a yarn with me this afternoon. And this story, I don't know if you can wrap your head around this,

but it's going viral for good reason because a woman has asked online to fund her wedding from all of her guests. She's pretty much asked them, you can give donations to me and my husband in exchange for some racy prizes. What? Like racism. Okay, so this is essentially what it is.

So she starts off the message with, Hi, family and members of Wedding of the Winter 2020. Hope you're all doing great and getting all of your wedding gifts, ha, ha, ha, prepared. Your cold, hard cash and your large housewarming gifts for Blah and I. Right, yeah. We really cannot wait to see you all and receive your gifts, lol, this December.

So they're obviously very keen to get gifts. Anyway, it goes on to say like depending on how much money people donate, they get a prize. They get a prize. So get this. So $1,000 if you donate $1,000, which, I mean, that's where it starts. So it doesn't start from... Oh, right.

So that's the minimum you can... That's the minimum. Yeah, right. Such a small amount. It's a lot to go to a wedding. But anyway, carry on. $1,000 will entitle you to a thank you note with a kiss stain signature from herself. I mean

$1,000. I could think of other things that would be Okay, what's more? Alright, so then you go up to the next category. $1,000 to $1,500 will get you the bride will throw in her wedding thong. Did you say $1,015?

$1,000 to $1,500. And you're saying that friends and family can buy this? Yeah, this is the menu. How many thongs she got? Is this a worn thong? Yeah, well, that's true. She'll be wearing different ones throughout the night if more than one person buys.

Well, I guess she'll have to depending on. Or she could wear like three at once. The next category, obviously $1,500 to $2,500. Right. So we jump up quite a lot. Yeah, we're going up now, yeah.,500 to $2,500. Right. So we jump up quite a lot. Yeah, we're going up now, yeah. That will get you a night with the couple. What?

And a bottle of wine with Lindt chocolates that will be fed to you. Really? That's what it says. Again, for friends and family. For friends and family. I don't know how keen, like, Uncle Jerry would be to, like, you know. Well, maybe Uncle Jerry could be the perfect. I can't believe that.

Wait, there's more categories. Okay, so then it jumps up to $2,500 to $3,500. Those people would get a party for them thrown by the couple as well as a ceremony of appreciation, 18 plus. That sounds like a wedding anyway. It's like there's a ceremony, everything's going on. No, no, no, a ceremony of appreciation 18 plus. That sounds like a wedding anyway. It's like there's a ceremony, everything's going on. No, no, no, a ceremony of appreciation and it's 18 plus. Oh, okay, yeah, okay, I'm with you, I'm with you, I'm with you.

Are they just putting like their bank account details at the end of this card like deposit what you want? They think people are about to donate heaps because then there's another jump up. Oh my goodness. $3,500 to $5,000. You can actually join the couple to be a part of their honeymoon. You will have to sleep on the couch, though.

I mean, to be honest, I'd probably just rather go on my own holiday. Yeah, just go on your own. Depends on where the honeymoon is for five grand, though. Yeah, if you're spending that. All right, and then we go to the last category, the highest donation amount of $5,000 to $6,500. What do you get? You will get the ultimate prize, guys.

You get the wife. No, you get the weekend away with the groom and they drown you in affection and spoil you. I'd rather keep my five grand. To be honest, yeah, it sounds like a real expensive and creepy weekend for $5,000. Also, just a honest, yeah, it sounds like a real expensive and crazy weekend. Also, just a lot of organising. Just organise a wedding.
