Who did it? It was Anastasia. It was me.
Starting point is 00:01:28 Well done, Anastasia. Very good. Congratulations. How many songs? It was over 150. How long did it take you to make this playlist? I lost count at five hours. It takes a long time to make those playlists.
Starting point is 00:01:41 I'm kidding. No, five hours. It was like an hour. It was all right. My eyes got pretty sore. No, I'm kidding. No, five hours. It was like an hour. It was all right. My eyes got pretty sore. Congratulations, because the playlist now has 14 likes. Let's get those likes up, people. If you wanted that playlist, this is why I'm mentioning it,
Starting point is 00:01:54 Bree and Clint's 2020 Birthday Bangers is up. Is it on the Z? Yeah, it's on the ZM Online Spotify account. It's actually easier just searching for the ZM account and then going from there. Yeah, right. You can even, if you're feeling a bit excited one day or you want to hear some good music, you can like pause our podcast every 10 minutes, play a couple songs, start the podcast again.
Starting point is 00:02:13 No, to get the radio experience. Yeah, be like the radio experience. And then if you want the full radio experience, cancel Spotify Premium and you'll get some ads in there as well. Yeah, and then boom boom you're ready to go actually that was the one thing about that is that because it's a zedm account they don't pay because no one uses it they don't pay for premium yeah so i was confused i kept on trying to play songs and i was like why can't i play the song and it was just playing playlists of songs man
Starting point is 00:02:38 zedm is so pomo it's like 14 if there's time on, can you retell that story? There's two different reactions to your story, Anastasia. No, we really appreciate you making it. That's a lot of work. Ben actually does a lot more work than I do. No, he gets praised enough. I'm really stoked for being praised for the podcast. Ben, you do not do the podcast. Oh, sorry.
Starting point is 00:03:03 You take ownership of the podcast. Nice breathing, mate. Thanks, mate. I have something I need to come the podcast. Oh, sorry. Nice breathing, mate. Thanks, mate. I have something I need to come clean about. Oh, yeah? I did not make good on a bet that was made on the show last week. Oh, we didn't talk about this. Probably.
Starting point is 00:03:17 I thought that was one of those things that we'll just bury in the past. It came close to that, yeah. Well, people might not know what we're talking about Brie promised to pay Brie promised to pay a lot of money For a hand drawn sketch of the Director General of Health in New Zealand And a celebrity cat
Starting point is 00:03:37 It was based on the fact that I thought it was for charity And 10% of it was for charity Yeah so if I paid $1000 Only 100 of that went to the SPCA. Brie, you didn't buy the picture? The auction's closed. It closed last night.
Starting point is 00:03:53 How much did it go for? I honestly did think really hard about it. I nearly did buy it. I really did because I don't like to not make good on my bets. But I just couldn't bring myself to pay $600 and something. Well, you've done your bit because you've revved the betting up something wicked. Well, that's true. You've gone for it.
Starting point is 00:04:14 Yeah. You couldn't bring yourself to pay $600, but you pledged $1,000. Yeah, I'm confused too. Yeah, but I didn't think I would actually. Your mouth wrote a check that your ass can't cash. I didn't think I would actually have to pay a thousand. Look, I don't actually care. It was just fun to watch you squirm for a bit.
Starting point is 00:04:28 I believe that your partner has got in your ear and I reckon you were willing to buy it, but you got so much heat from your partner that if she saw that you'd bought that, you'd be sleeping in the spare room. Yeah, I probably wouldn't have been allowed to go home. No. No.
Starting point is 00:04:41 So, oh my God, who was that? That was Anastasia Jesus Are we that boring? If no one wants to be here I'll just play the dolphin And we'll fricking leave I got told I had a boring story

Starting point is 00:05:03 I wanna keep talking I'm not bored Bree should we revisit keep talking. I'm not bored. Bree, should we revisit our favourite discussion topic that we've never actually properly finished? Enjoy the podcast, everybody. No, wait, I've got to say something before we go. And before I cop heat for people being like, oh, you're a pussy. Oh, yeah, yeah, finish it, yeah. You didn't buy the painting and charity.
Starting point is 00:05:23 It's hard because I have to put this before the dolphin now. No, double dolphin. We're going to double dolphin today. I ended up donating money to the SPCA more. Directly, yeah. Directly. More than what would have went to it, even if I paid $1,000 for the painting.
Starting point is 00:05:38 That's awesome. Well done. The SPCA didn't miss out. And you have no art. And I've got no art, but I do have, I can sleep well at night knowing that some dogs and cats are going to eat. There it is. Yeah. Well done.

You know I wish I was Jessie's Girl. I mean, Rick Springfield doesn't get a lot of airtime on ZM. Maybe it was because I'm from Aussie and he's an Aussie. I think so, yeah.

Starting point is 00:14:28 Brian Clint. Brian Clint. From iHeartRadio. This is the latest live from LA with Dean McCarthy. Forget the Emmys. Forget other celebrity news. Forget new James Bond. The biggest story in Hollywood today is Ellen DeGeneres and her apology.
Starting point is 00:14:48 And here to tell us all about it is Dean McCarthy. Hi, Dean. Hi, Dean. Good morning, guys. Look, I can honestly say that Ellen's apology was so good. You're getting all mixed reviews around the world today. Some thought that she was too soft. Some thought that she avoided it.
Starting point is 00:15:01 Some thought that she didn't take responsibility. I want everyone to go online and watch it. I thought it was very authentic and very real. So she came out and she took responsibility. She's like, this is my show. My name is on the billboard. There's 270 staff and they are all my responsibility. And there were things I didn't know about.
Starting point is 00:15:19 And now that I do, we've made the right changes to fix things. She also discussed, which I was wondering how she would do this, but her reputation as essentially this rude monster, she said, look, for 17 years, I've been coming out here. You know me. I can't fake this for 17 years. I have my sad days. I have my days where I feel anxious. I have my off days like everyone, and I'm going to try and be better. So she kind of went there, and I loved it. So go online and check it out. I think that she did a really great job and I think she has really started to turn this ship around. We've got a little clip of it here. Let's take a little listen. This is just a snippet of Alan's
Starting point is 00:15:56 opening monologue for the first episode back. As you may have heard, this summer there were allegations of a toxic work environment at our show. I learned that things happened here that never should have happened. I take that very seriously and I want to say I am so sorry to the people who were affected. I know that I'm in a position of privilege and power and I realize that with that comes responsibility and I take responsibility for what happens at my show. We have had a lot of conversations over the last few weeks about the show, our workplace, and what we want for the future. We have made the necessary changes, and today we are starting a new chapter. God, she is evil, because I believe that.
Starting point is 00:16:33 What do you think? Are you going to give her a second chance? What do you guys think? You've got to give her the chance to be true to her word, right, and change things. I think everyone deserves a go at making the wrongs right, so I'll give her the chance to be true to her word, right? And change things. I think everyone deserves a go at making the wrongs right. Yeah. So I'll give her another go. Why not? Yeah. All right.
Starting point is 00:16:50 Well, that is the latest from Dean McCarthy. Live out of Los Angeles. Thanks to Old El Paso, you can launch into mess-free Mexican with their new tortilla pocket. Free in Clint. Let's go rural for a second. Let's go to Otago, where a Dunedin pig farmer has taken a stand. Remember that time we sat producer Ben?
Starting point is 00:17:10 Oh, they say the wild pig. That was in Dunedin as well. Yeah, and he found it. Remember? That was crazy. Anyway, a pig story needs pig sound effects, so this is what Ben's chosen for us. Yeah, good pig.
Starting point is 00:17:24 Thank you. I appreciate that. It's very jarring on the ears. This story I want to give to you is a country person. I am a country gal. Let's get your opinion on it. So Peter has been a Dunedin pig farmer for a decade. Oh, good old pig.
Starting point is 00:17:38 In that time, he has received 65 complaints about his farm. About the pigs? Yeah. Or just the farm in general? Well, from neighbours. They can be loud. From people going, don't like what you're doing over there.
Starting point is 00:17:51 So when he noticed that the house across the road was going up for sale, he decided to do something and he decided to put up a sign to deal with it. What sign did he put up? Oh no. Ben doesn't have the sign. The TV's cut out.
Starting point is 00:18:10 Hold on. Ben's freaking out. Don't worry, I've got it. You've got it? So he's written a sign. He's put it outside the house, looking at the house across the road that's for sale, and it says,
Starting point is 00:18:19 Notice this property is a farm. Farms have animals. Animals make funny sounds, smell bad and have intercourse. Outdoors. Unless you can tolerate noise outdoors and, oh, noise, he hasn't
Starting point is 00:18:35 put a comma in. Unless you can tolerate noise, odours and outdoor intercourse. Don't buy a property next to a farm. I mean, maybe he's just being upfront. It's like the people who get angry about the noise that comes out of Eden Park. Yeah, they're like,
Starting point is 00:18:54 you bought a house next to a stadium. It's so loud when the games are on. There's a part of Auckland, which is pretty rich, and they are angry at the noise that comes out of the speedway, and they bought a house next to a speedway. Like, I would understand if they were there before that was built. Yeah. And that came after.
Starting point is 00:19:15 Oh, he just showed up with his 3,000 pigs and he's like, this is a farm now. But it sounds like he's been there for a long time. They're like, sir, you're in inner city Dunedin. Nah, 3,000 pigs. Get them in here. Unload the truck. Apparently the smell, in the neighbour's defence, apparently the smell is horrific.
Starting point is 00:19:36 Oh, a stye is not good. Yeah, but like I said, I've never raised a pig before. There's a reason why people are, you know, when people are like, oh, this is a pig stye. Yeah, right. It doesn't smell good. Anyway, if you know, when people are like, oh, this is a pigsty. Yeah, right. Okay, makes sense. It doesn't smell good. Anyway, if you're looking for a cheap house, I heard there's one going next to a pig farm
Starting point is 00:19:50 in Dunedin. Bree and Clint. Okay, okay. What is New Zealand's favourite pizza? Well, you know I'm here for this conversation. Yeah, well, you're our resident Italian. It's one of my favourite foods. Yeah, you're also our resident Uber Eats abuser.
Starting point is 00:20:04 So, you are a great sounding board for this. I love it. The Domino's Pizza Company of New Zealand have come out and revealed New Zealand's favourite pizza. Great people, Domino's, and great pizza as well. However, I think they've got it wrong. You think they're wrong about this? I think what they've managed to establish is their top selling pizza.
Starting point is 00:20:25 Okay. But have they found New Zealand's favourite pizza? Because, I mean, theirs is based on stats. Yeah, I know. Theirs is scientifically correct. But I'm emotionally caught up in this. Right. Okay.
Starting point is 00:20:36 So before I reveal what they have come out and said New Zealand's favourite pizza is, and I'll tell you their stats are quite compelling. Really? Yeah. What, they're quite strong? Yeah, they're quite strong. Okay. We've asked you, New Zealand, on 9696, what's your favourite pizza?
Starting point is 00:20:51 Bree's been in the data mine, crunching the numbers. I've been hard onto that data. Look, there's a lot, a lot of people who are throwing meat lovers up. Right. A lot of people are throwing Hawaiian pizzas up. Yeah, love. I'm here for that. Yeah, the Hawaiian.
Starting point is 00:21:07 I don't mind a Hawaiian, even though I'm Italian. I know Ellie Harwood. Hawaiian Italian. Hawaiian Italian. I know ex-producer Ellie Harwood has been on the text machine. Is there a Mr. Wedge? Because someone has said, oh, I think apricot chicken is your best pizza. Oh, apricot chicken, yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:22 No, producer Ellie, I know it's you. All right. Someone said cheese, mushroom and pineapple. Right, okay. We're not talking about a pizza that you made up in your house. We're talking about a legit pizza. Like if you went to any pizzeria, it would be on the menu. Like a real one.
Starting point is 00:21:39 Okay, like a barbecue chicken. That's one, yeah. I'm going to come out and say that you're lying if you're a New Zealander and you say Hawaiian is not your favourite pizza. What, you reckon Hawaiian is number one? There's never been a birthday party where it's been catered by the parents and they put pizzas out and Hawaiian wasn't present. Hawaiian has been at every single great
Starting point is 00:21:55 event in your life and for you to not stand by Hawaiian in this moment and nominate it as your favourite pizza, blasphemy. Blasphemy. Yeah, but you're saying that that was ordered for kids' parties. Do you think the palette has... And teenage parties. Yeah, so...
Starting point is 00:22:09 And work parties, staff Christmas parties. Has the palette developed? I don't know, but do you... How is margarita not on here? I don't know that that's available at many, you know, like pizza places. That's more an Italian restaurant pizza, isn't it? What, you mean the original? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:28 It's more a home of pizza thing. Anyway. Like a wood fire pizza. Do you want to know what Domino's says is our favourite pizza? I know what it's going to be. All right. On three, two, one, we'll say it together. Three, two, one.
Starting point is 00:22:38 Pepperoni. And I know why. I know why. Why? Because, I mean, I shop at Domino's a lot myself. And to be honest, the only pizza I get is pepperoni because it's the best from Domino's. Domino's stores...
Starting point is 00:22:51 And they're $5. ...deliver 10,000 pepperoni pizzas to New Zealanders every day. 10,000 pepperoni pizzas a day. They're $5. That means, as New Zealanders, we are eating 275 metric tonnes of pepperoni every year. I'm so proud of us.
Starting point is 00:23:12 Or 5,288 kilos of pepperoni a week. I wonder how many garlic breads are bought from there. That's a great question as well. Because I reckon there would be a tonne of them. So there you go. Now, I'm not surprised. Pepperoni is the shears.
Starting point is 00:23:30 Yeah, you're only ordering pepperoni because you don't want to seem basic and order Hawaiian? Order Hawaiian. No, I like Hawaiian. Not afraid to say it out loud either. Hawaiian's always been there for you. Hawaiian has always been there.
Starting point is 00:23:41 Brian Clint. Brian Clint. Yeah, TikTok. I've jumped on it early, actually. Brian Clint. Brian Clint. Yeah, TikTok. I've jumped on it early, actually. New platform. And I saw... Did you know that if Trump bans TikTok... They said it's been delayed for a week.
Starting point is 00:23:52 Yeah, they're changing their minds. But if he does get it banned, it just has to be taken out of the app store. So if you've got it, it will still work. But if you don't have it, you won't be able to get it. People will be jumping on that, won't they? But you won't be able to get it. People will be jumping on that one day. But you won't be able to get any updates. Right.
Starting point is 00:24:08 So as they change bits. So it eventually will die out. It will eventually become a security risk on your phone. Yeah. If it isn't already. Yeah. TikTok. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:16 TikTok. Well, speaking of TikTok, there's a mum actually from the States who's going absolutely viral at the moment because she posted a video of the custom-designed bed that her and her husband made. So her and her husband and their young kids can co-sleep in the bed. How old are the kids? They range.
Starting point is 00:24:39 They're all like from like five to I think four to six, nine, ten. How many kids are sleeping in the bed? I think there's a lot. Right, okay. Because they've put a king bed next to a queen bed. So I don't know how big technically that bed is. Well, if it goes double then... Is that a California king?
Starting point is 00:24:55 No, it's more. No, bigger. Yeah, bigger. Bigger than that because it's king already. It's king then California... No, super king. Super king. Then California king.
Starting point is 00:25:03 It might be a California... No, it'd have to be bigger than a California King. Bigger. Otherwise, why wouldn't you just buy a California King? Yeah, it's bigger. Why would you go to all the effort of building a custom-made bed? Yeah. Anyway, yeah, right?
Starting point is 00:25:14 So, anyway, it's going viral because people are like, what do you mean you and all your children sleep in the same bed every night? Like, what happens with you and your husband? And all these questions are flying about. And she's kind of like, oh, we've never thought about that. That just works for our family. No, thank you.
Starting point is 00:25:30 Sorry. Can you imagine like someone rolls and that wakes someone up and then someone's snoring? It's like that nursery rhyme. There were three in the bed and the little one said. Get out. Who farted? Yeah, get out.
Starting point is 00:25:44 Apart from the obvious relationship question of when do mummy and daddy... Have special time. Yeah, but I guess if you've got that many kids that are doing everything they can not to have any more special time. Yeah, that's true. Maybe that's what it is. They answered that question, by the way. Oh, did they?
Starting point is 00:25:58 They said because of, you know, obviously that situation, they like to be explorers of other rooms of the house. Oh, yuck, mum and dad. If you were one of the teenage kids, you'd, obviously that situation, they like to be explorers of other rooms of the house. Oh, yuck, Mum and Dad. If you were one of the teenage kids, you'd be like, Mum, you've got your own room for a reason. We don't want to sleep in your room anymore. Get out of the rumpus room. It's not called rumpus room for that, shenanigans.
Starting point is 00:26:24 Dad, stop trying to get some rump in the rumpus room. Yeah, what the hell, Dad? Right, okay, well, good for them and whatever works for you, but it's a big no thank you to me. Yeah, I don't think it's a... Having the whole family sleep in one bed. It's not a yes from me either. So how embarrassing for the teenagers
Starting point is 00:26:39 when their friends come over for sleepovers? I think they did say in this post that at a certain age the older kids start sleeping in their beds. You're just looking forward to your 10th birthday. You're like, please, please, please get my own bed. I was thinking more when you turn 21, you can get your own bed. We'll get you your own pillow. Yeah, you're really moving up in the world.
Starting point is 00:27:00 I wanted to know from people because it's so interesting to me when someone has a different sleeping dynamic. Like, you know, obviously there's the normal sleep on your own if you're, you know, riding solo. Or if you're with a partner, you sleep in the same bed. Or if you just sleep over the snore, you've got separate bedrooms. See, I find that really interesting. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:19 And I'm all for it. Are you in a committed relationship and you have separate beds in the same room? Surely no one that... No. That hasn't happened since the 70s. But maybe it is. Maybe it is. I don't want to create a judgmental environment.
Starting point is 00:27:31 I know I've just judged this whole family who are sleeping together. Wait, so what did you just say? So you're in a couple. Yeah. But you sleep in separate... Same room, separate beds. Yeah, that's interesting. Does it exist?
Starting point is 00:27:42 And why do you do it? Do you reckon it exists? 0800 dial ZM or you can text us on 9696. Do you have an unconventional sleeping arrangement? Bree and Clint. A mum over in America is
Starting point is 00:27:55 going viral on TikTok because she posted the situation, her sleeping situation that her and her husband have with their kids. So they've built this big custom huge bed. It's a king bed and a queen bed and they've just smashed it together. They must have a big house. It looks fancy.
Starting point is 00:28:14 It does look fancy. Because we've sacrificed furniture room for bedroom in our room. I can barely fit a queen bed in my room. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Let alone a super king. A super king would be the dream one day. But you'd have to have such a big house. Yeah, a super king would barely fit in any house.
Starting point is 00:28:31 Yeah. Anyway, so all the kids, they co-sleep with all their kids ranging from all different ages up to like 10. There's like six kids in the bed, Bree says. That's a lot. That's hectic. Well, maybe not every night, but yeah, every now and then. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:44 Good for them. If it works for them. If it works for them. If it works for them. It doesn't sound relaxing, is my opinion. Sounds horrific to me. We're asking you what's your unconventional sleeping arrangement. G'day, Martin. Hello, Martin.
Starting point is 00:28:56 Hey, guys. How you doing? Good, thank you. Is this your situation? Yeah, I think I need to see this, babe, because mine's not that big. We've only got a queen. Okay. And what's the unconventional sleeping arrangement?
Starting point is 00:29:08 Well, so we've got two kids. My son is five and my daughter is two. Yeah. And basically since day dot, they've been in the bed with us. Okay. And he's got to the point where we've stuck his cot on the side of the bed to take one side of the pool and push it up against the bed, and that's where he sleeps.
Starting point is 00:29:24 Just roll them off. Oh, yeah. Yeah, that's how it goes. Martin, they're not listening at the moment, your kids, are they? No. Okay. Do you hate it? Do you want them out?
Starting point is 00:29:37 Like, seriously, do you guys want them out of the bed? If you could and you could snap your fingers and they were okay to sleep in their own beds, would you change it tonight? Probably not. Because there's that special moment when you're lying in bed having a cuddle with your daughter and she falls asleep on your chest. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:52 And you're locked down and that's bloody cool. And I get it as a dad because you go, this isn't going to happen forever. No. You're not going to be able to do this when she's 19. Well, that's true too. He's not going to be in the bed when he's 10 and neither will she. Yeah. Well, see, there you go.
Starting point is 00:30:07 If it's not forever, then I could, you know, deal with that. Yeah. Yeah. Maybe you can bolt another bed onto your queen. If they did a queen and a king, you could bolt a queen and a single together. Oh, I've got an idea, Martin. Do bunk beds, but they're like queen bed bunk beds. No, no, no, no.
Starting point is 00:30:24 Bunk beds are a bad idea. But there's so much room for activity. Thanks, Martin. Katrina's here. Hey, Katrina. Hi, Kat. Hi. How are you guys?
Starting point is 00:30:33 Good, thank you. Do you know someone who's got an unconventional sleeping arrangement? Yeah, they've been together for 30 years, and my girlfriend is real addicted to Netflix, and she likes to stay up all night watching Netflix, so they just find it easier to sleep in separate rooms. They have been for over five years. Wow.
Starting point is 00:30:51 Really? Because of Netflix? Yeah, well, he likes to sleep, and she likes to stay up till late watching TV, and it just works for them. If it works, and you've hit the nail on the head there, if it works for them, who cares? Yeah. Yeah, I personally can't sleep without my husband.
Starting point is 00:31:07 And can you imagine, Katrina, for them, the nights that they do share a bed, it'd be romantic. It'd be like you had someone over. It'd be like a honeymoon again. It would be. Waking up next to a stranger and you go, oh, I forgot this stranger snores and farts a lot in their sleep. You're like, I'm going back to my bed.
Starting point is 00:31:23 Don't know about you, Clint, but one of my favourite shows is The Chase. That's what sucks the most about our job is we're on here at the same time as The Chase. It bloody annoys us. Bradley Walsh and the whole crew. It just draws you in for some reason. I don't know what it is. It's captivating because you like to test your own knowledge.
Starting point is 00:31:44 Plus, they're all fun. They're all likeable. They are. And I love how they joke quite a lot, which is quite enjoyable. But did you see in an episode, I can't remember if it was yesterday, day before, there was a Kiwi lass on there. Sunday evening, yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:58 New Zealander on the chase. Here's a clip of her if you missed it. Welcome to the show, Liz, from Middlesex. Yes, that's right. You don't sound very Middlesexian, if you don it. Welcome to the show, Liz, from Middlesex. Yes, that's right. You don't sound very Middlesexian, if you don't mind me saying. No, originally from New Zealand. Right, okay. She sounds so Flight of the Conchords.
Starting point is 00:32:14 New Zealand. She sounds like Britt Injermain. You know what it is? Because you and I talked about this, even like being an Aussie, when you see one of us in amongst like an American cast or an English cast. We stand out like dog's balls. It's so jarring. Because she just sounds like a normal New Zealander.
Starting point is 00:32:31 She doesn't speak weird, but when you put it against Bradley's accent. It sounds very strange. Yeah, it's very Kiwi. Striking. Anyway, I thought we could do this thing where, do you know the part on the show where they all introduce themselves, like the contestants do it for themselves? They introduce themselves?
Starting point is 00:32:50 Let's beat them. I'm Liz, I'm 43, a compliance officer from Middlesex. I'm Richard, I'm 53, I'm a service improvement coordinator from Middlesbrough. I'm Ash, I'm 28, a financial controller from Cheshire. I'm Jessica, I'm 32, a charity fundraiser from Norwich. And that is my team. I mean, pretty boring. Pretty boring.
Starting point is 00:33:10 In my opinion. Well, it gets it out there, though. It does, but I thought pretty boring. I thought what we could do to jazz it up a bit is we could do the same thing this afternoon where we introduce ourselves. Yep. But there's a twist.
Starting point is 00:33:24 And we've all written each other's for each other. Right. So you haven't written your own. No. We don't know who has written each other's. Who wants to go first? Well, included on our chase team is also producer Ben and producer Anastasia. G'day, mate.
Starting point is 00:33:40 Okay. Hello. I've met three of the chasers, by the way. You've met three chasers? Yeah. Well, you better be good at this. Oh, you have worked on coast. Okay. Hello. I've met three of the chasers, by the way. You've met three chasers? Yeah. Well, you better be good at this. Oh, you have worked on coast. So true.
Starting point is 00:33:50 We need to know our order. You're right. I think we should go. Go youngest to oldest. Anastasia, Bin, Bree, me. Okay, cool. Let's do it that way. All right, here we go, everybody.
Starting point is 00:34:07 Let's beat them I run daily marathons and love the Christchurch races Nothing beats a day out with my gals I also don't shy away from using Tinder at work and enjoy drinking effing vodkas at my local pony club Nice

Starting point is 00:35:54 Yep. So these are going to be people plus maybe some shows thrown in there. Awkward Zoom Emmys. Yeah. I didn't think it was awkward. It was quite cool. Very easy to fade out someone's sanctimoniously long speech over Zoom. Just go, oh, we're losing your connection.

Starting point is 00:38:53 We are the hosts of The Real Pod and Confession Cam Time. We bloody love reality telly.

Starting point is 00:39:15 Brought to you by the Spinoff Podcast Network and available wherever you get your pods. Free and Clint. People are giving Kourtney Kardashian a bit of a serve on social media after she's become quite close friends with 19-year-old Addison Rae, who's like one of the top TikTokers. Yeah. She's big on the talk. She does all the dances.
Starting point is 00:39:39 Yep. And they blow up when she doesn't. Millions of views. Does she create dances? I think so, yeah. She makes her own TikTok dances. Very relevant. And people are saying, why is Kourtney Kardashian, who's 41 now,
Starting point is 00:39:52 friends with a 19-year-old TikToker? Is that what it is, 41 and 19? Yes. So 20-year age gap. Yeah. So one's in their teens and one's in their 40s. There's 20s and 30s between them. They're posting photos in bikinis
Starting point is 00:40:06 on holidays together. They're posting photos of them out to eat. They're quite close, apparently. What do they talk about? I don't know. I'm not sure. But yeah, she's copping quite a lot of heat for it. Because Addison's like, Courtney, did you see this TikTok? And Courtney's like, what's that?
Starting point is 00:40:22 What's TikTok? You know where it came from? Because I was like, how did they even meet? Like, how did that come about? So turns out Kourtney enlisted Edison's mum was watching Keeping Up With the Kardashians. And Edison was like, who are they? Don't pretend like the
Starting point is 00:40:37 Kardashians aren't well known. Like, Edison Ray knows who she is. Look, I'm being a little bit hyperbolic here, but you know. So apparently Courtney hired or enlisted YouTuber David Dobrik's help to help launch her son Mason's TikTok account. And Dobrik introduced the two of them. That is the most 2020 shit I've ever heard.
Starting point is 00:41:00 She hired one of the world's leading vloggers to launch her son's TikTok account. That is just and no judgment, it's just next level. I know how they're friends. That sentence makes me hate 2020. Madison. No, who? Addison. No, Addison and Mason.
Starting point is 00:41:18 That's why I got confused. Addison and Mason, they're in the same class together at school. Madison's like 13 or 14. Oh, so much younger. Well, she's definitely closer in age to her son. Yeah. I definitely think there's situations where I think it's quite cute
Starting point is 00:41:35 when there's friendships that have a big age gap. Do you? I don't think there's anything wrong with it. It's like I used to be really good friends with all my Nan's friends. And I used to go to where she lived. And once a week, this is no BS, I think I was 16. And once a week, I would go to their little retirement home village and I would play canasta with a bunch of them. Do you know why that's cute? Because you initiated the friendship. You were the one who went,
Starting point is 00:42:01 I want to be friends with these old people. In this situation, you know when an old vampire needs to drain the blood of a young person to stay alive? That is what has happened in this situation. And you're saying Courtney is the vampire. I'm saying Courtney is pretending she's trying to launch Mason's TikTok career when in actual fact,
Starting point is 00:42:20 Courtney about to blow up on TikTok because she's on Addison's TikTok now. You know, it's genius. It's great marketing. To call me cynical, it seems opportunistic. I don't, I'm not going to disagree with you just to disagree, but let's be real. Who needs whose help more?
Starting point is 00:42:37 Well, let me disagree for disagreement's sake. Keeping up with the Kardashians is over. It's finished. Yeah, but they're a global, massive business brand. But TikTok's on the way up. TikTok's the new... TikTok's about to be banned in America. The E! Channel, about to get shut down.
Starting point is 00:42:55 Home of the Kardashians. TikTok, blowing up. Boom, boom, boom, boom. Someone who had 20 seasons of a reality show or a girl who has a big TikTok account. All good things must come to an end. No, I'm not saying that. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:43:10 Look, I'm sure they're both great people and I'm sure they've got lots in common. No, I don't know if they would. Yeah, me neither. I was just trying to be civil. Yeah, right. There'll be some cute stories about age gap friendships out there.
Starting point is 00:43:21 You and the old folks home, cute. I think, yeah, I think it can work. I'm under the opinion you can have a big age gap friendships out there. You and the old folks home, cute. I think, yeah, I think it can work. I'm under the opinion you can have a big age gap in your friendship as long as you're not trying to make it more than a friendship. I think it can be cute. It's, yeah. What? It's very similar to what Scott Disick did with Sophia Ritchie,
Starting point is 00:43:41 except they were more than friends. No, that was not a friendship. No, but the age gap was roughly the same. I think it was nearly exactly the same. This is what I'm talking about. In some instances it can be cute. In some instances it's like, oh, all right, all right, okay, cool. What are you doing?
Starting point is 00:43:57 What are you up to? 0800 dial ZM. We want to know what's the age gap in your friendship this afternoon? Yeah, do you have a big age gap with a really good friend of yours? Do you and the lady across the fence who's retired. Oh, I can't deal with these cute stories. Do you guys have a long white every Friday afternoon on the patio? Cute.
Starting point is 00:44:14 You know? That's very cute. Do you. Maybe you met at work. Maybe you met someone who's quite a lot older than you. And you wouldn't normally be friends with them. Yeah. But you guys made it work.
Starting point is 00:44:24 Yeah, you can call us 0800DIALZM or text us on 9696. What's the big age gap in your friendship? Bree and Clint. I can't deal with how cute the texts are that are coming through for this topic. Yeah. It's so adorable because we're discussing Kourtney Kardashian, who is the oldest sister. She's 41.
Starting point is 00:44:43 She's copping a bit of heat online because she's struck up a new friendship with Addison Rae, who is the 19-year-old TikTok star. Yeah. People are saying, why are they hanging out? It's weird. She's 41 and she's 19. I disagree. She's fostered her.
Starting point is 00:45:00 She's adopted her. I think age gap friendships can work. I think they're quite cute. Yep. Not all of them. How many 19-year-olds are out there trying to be friends with a 41-year-old, though? Look, I see why people are giving her a bit of heat about it. I do.
Starting point is 00:45:17 But I do think there is cute age gap friendships out there. So do I. And I think there's genuine age gap friendships out there. Yes. And so we want to hear about them this afternoon. Have you got one? Hi Amanda, welcome to the show. Hi Amanda. Hi guys. Who's the friendship
Starting point is 00:45:29 gap with? My parents have friends who are my age so I'm in my early 30s and my parents and so are this couple and my parents are in their 60s and they have become like little besties
Starting point is 00:45:45 and they go and do holidays together. They rent book of batches and I was talking to Dad about Christmas and he's like, oh yeah, we might be going away with them. No. That's about me. What about you?
Starting point is 00:45:54 Wait, so how did they meet, did you say? They moved in next to them. Are you friends with these people as well? I feel like I could be. They're like my kind of people, but my parents... You're right. Your parents are like, get away from our friends. Did you go to school with them, Amanda?
Starting point is 00:46:10 No, I didn't. They're in different towns. Do your parents ever send you like 40 messages from them and be like, they're talking about this thing. What is this? What does it mean? What's Schitt's Creek? No, they don't.
Starting point is 00:46:22 What's Rolf mean? No. Rolf? Yeah, rolling on the floor laughing. Rolf mean? No. Rolf? Yeah, rolling on the floor laughing. Ruffle. Ruffle. Rolf? My little boy likes going to their grandma's house
Starting point is 00:46:32 because he gets to play with their little boy. Oh, there you go. He's friends as well. They're all friends except... Oh, beautiful. No, I like that, Amanda. It's cute. See, that's a genuine question.
Starting point is 00:46:39 Rolf would be roll on laughing floor. Roll on laughing floor. I mean, that could be a thing. You don't know. Katie's here. Hey, Katie. Hi, Katie. Yes. mean, that could be a thing. You don't know. Katie's here. Hey, Katie. Hi, Katie. Yes.
Starting point is 00:46:47 Hi, how are you? Hi. You got an age gap friendship? I sure do. I'm 40 and my best mate in the whole world is 85. Cute. Tell us about it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:46:56 I was employed to conduct a band in a small rural area and he was playing the trumpet. Yeah. And after, oh, it must have been two years, we just sort of knew each other. And then now I actually left. He's in North Canterbury. I live in Wellington now. Yeah. And we still call each other every single week.
Starting point is 00:47:16 No way. And talk about life. What do you guys do when you hang out? What's your guys' favourite thing to do? Well, I'm actually heading down for my school holidays to spend a week with him and he lives on a farm. He built his own house. He has sheep, so I've learned
Starting point is 00:47:32 how to crutch sheep. Wow. Do you text or he's not keen on the text? Funny story there, I actually had to buy him a mobile phone because there was an incident where he needed help and he didn't
Starting point is 00:47:48 have, he's only got a landline. So I bought him a mobile phone and it's got one of those emergency buttons on it so if he needs help straight away he presses it. Well he accidentally pressed it because he doesn't know how to text and the police came flying around to him.
Starting point is 00:48:02 Hey police, we know what works. Yes, he can't text as yet. You're his best friend and his tech support. I love it. Absolutely. Very cute. Okay, so that's cute. I like that. Someone on the text machine said hey, in response to your friendship age gap, every Thursday I meet up
Starting point is 00:48:20 with my 94 year old friend for lunch. She was originally my mum's friend and I would stay at her house when I was younger for morning sport trainings because we live way out of town. I'm now 22 and she's 94. 72-year age gap. That's insane.
Starting point is 00:48:37 That's so cool. You guys are from different worlds. That's amazing. Can you imagine some of the stuff she would have seen and some of the chats you could have? And how many times she would have told you the same story. Sam, hi. Last one.

Starting point is 01:01:29 the Man I Feel Like a Music Woman music video. She is an absolute breath of fresh air. She is a firecracker, isn't she? What a great video. Have you ever interviewed her? No. That was the pinnacle of my radio career. I interviewed her about three years ago and I sentnacle of my radio career. I interviewed her
Starting point is 01:01:45 about three years ago. Yeah. And I sent her on Twitter the photo of me dressed up as her when I was like 10. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:01:51 And she liked the tweet. How good. And it was so amazing. I wonder if she's quarantining down in Canterbury. Is she in Canterbury

Starting point is 01:02:07 Yeah, she had a high country station. How much do you reckon Shania Twain's property in Wanaka was worth? That'd be 100 million-ish.

Starting point is 01:02:53 Ardern. The closest thing we have to live sport these days. Exactly right. This is about as close as we're going to get to like an All Blacks test or anything like that. Are they going to have a halftime? I hope so. I hope there's TAB odds and everything running. That'd be good. I thought, because it is an election year as well, and this stuff is important, why don't we have a big political quiz?
Starting point is 01:03:13 This sounds like political music. So I'll be the John Campbell in this situation. I'll adjudicate the quiz. Okay, John. You'll be a contestant. Okay. And your name can be Bree. Okay.
Starting point is 01:03:24 You'll be taking on Sophie. Sophie, welcome to the big political quiz. Hello contestant. Okay. And your name can be Brie. Okay. You'll be taking on Sophie. Sophie, welcome to the Big Political Quiz. Hello, Sophie. Hello. Do you know your politics? I think so. Good. Oh, no.
Starting point is 01:03:34 This is all New Zealand politics. Okay. All New Zealand politics. And I'll ask you a question each. And we'll go back and forth like that. Brie, you can start. Brie, here comes your first question. Brie.
Starting point is 01:03:49 Yes. Resident of New Zealand. Name three of the previous five New Zealand Prime Ministers. So I have to name the last? Any of the three previous five. I'm going to say Winston Peters. Helen Clark. Lord.
Starting point is 01:04:20 And Hilary Barry. You know, I would have given you that. I would have given you Winston Peters on technicality because he was Prime Minister while Jacinda was on maternity leave. But then you didn't even say Jacinda Ardern. But she's the current one. Yeah, but she's one of the five previous Prime Ministers.
Starting point is 01:04:35 Damn it! And you go with Lorde. Okay, no points to you. No regrets. Sophie, you're up. Sophie, after an attempt to seem relatable, which Prime Minister was savagely roasted for his love of spaghetti on pizza?
Starting point is 01:04:53 Oh, I believe that that was Bill English. We talked about this not long ago. Yeah, it's good. There's actually nothing wrong with spaghetti on pizza. It's just it was an opportunistic post. He was trying to see... Sophie's all for it. She's like, love it.
Starting point is 01:05:06 Okay, back to Brie. Brie. Yes? In 2017, after becoming Prime Minister of New Zealand, Jacinda Ardern's cat, Paddles, was killed in a hit and run. Who did it? No, no, no, no, no. Sorry, the real question is, why was the cat called Paddles?
Starting point is 01:05:28 Just putting it out there, it was not me. Because it seemed like you were alluding that it was me that killed the cat. No one was alluding to that. It was not me. If you've got a guilty conscience, now's the time to come forward. The cat was called Paddles because of its paws. They were all, like, connected. Correct.
Starting point is 01:05:44 The cat had thumbs. Yeah. We'll give you that. All right. It's one point to you after two questions and one point to Sophie after one question. Back to Sophie. Sophie, for the big political quiz, your second question. How many current MPs are there in the ACT Party?
Starting point is 01:06:01 I believe there is only one David Seymour. Correct. He's the only one, right? He's a one-man party. He's actually the one person. He's making enough noise for 40 MPs, but he's the only one. Well done. Okay, back to Bree.
Starting point is 01:06:16 This is hot, this competition. I feel like we're in the debate that's going to take part tonight. Bree. Yes. DJ Max Key is the son of former Prime Minister John Key. According to his most recent throwback Thursday on Instagram, it is A, time for another drink,
Starting point is 01:06:35 B, time for another holiday, or C, time for another puppy. Ooh. Is there an all of the above? Incorrect. No, I'm going to say time for another holiday. Absolutely correct. Max Key is posing on the shores of Mykonos with no shirt on
Starting point is 01:06:53 and he believes it is time for another holiday. I don't know if I'm proud of that one, Sophie. Sophie, here we go. I feel as though Brie has got harder questions than me. I feel like I've got non-political questions and you've got actual political questions. So you can win the quiz here, OK? A correct answer here will secure you the victory.
Starting point is 01:07:12 Come on, Sofi. Chloe Swarbrick is one of the youngest ever members of Parliament, becoming an MP at the age of 23. Speaking of young, what is the legal age to vote in the general election in New Zealand? That's a tough one, Clint. I believe that you have to be 18 to vote. She's done it.
Starting point is 01:07:38 She secured the victory. Nice work, Sophie. You really did know your politics. Thanks, Brie. I was going to ask Sophie, do you know if cannabis does get legalised, how old do you have to be to be able to buy it? I believe it's 18. 20.
Starting point is 01:07:55 Don't quote from there. 20. Yeah, it's 20. Restricted to 20. Yeah, that's for Clint, not me. Yeah, that point goes to Clint. Sophie's like, I don't bloody know. One point to me.
Starting point is 01:08:06 Nice work, Sophie. Leader's Debate's on tonight at 7 o'clock, if you're that way inclined, on TVNZ. I should do that game tonight. Right. With Jacinda and Judith. Yeah. With fun sound effects and stuff.
Starting point is 01:08:19 I'll send a tweet to John Campbell. Okay, good. And I want you to remember you asked me to do this, okay? Well, I just said it might be a good follow-on from the eight things we did last night. The eight signs your partner's cheating on you. Yeah, well, today, eight warning signs that your relationship is over. God, yeah, this is grim. Okay?
Starting point is 01:08:37 There might be couples listening to this in the car. One of you reaching for the radio at the moment. That's not one of the signs, but is it a sign? Anyway, let's do them. Let's do them. Doesn't mean they're true. Doesn't mean they apply to you. Doesn't mean they're true. They are from the CEO of Relationships Australia, Elizabeth Shaw.
Starting point is 01:08:56 Okay, just to give you some context. I don't know what that company is. I don't know what they do, but that's who has written them. Sounds pretty official though. Okay, eight signs your relationship is over. You raise your concerns with your partner and they are dismissed, denied or ridiculed. That's not good.
Starting point is 01:09:12 That's not good in any relationship. In any relationship. In a work relationship, in a loving relationship. Okay, number two. You know things have been difficult for a considerate period and neither of you is raising the subject oh you're just dancing around it yeah when no one's saying anything i don't think that's a sign
Starting point is 01:09:29 your relationship's over i think that's a sign one of you needs to raise it no well do you think neither of you care enough to raise it that might be it you know when but some people are just non-confrontational and they think oh if i just ignore this long enough it will go away because people say you know uh if you're a couple that has a tiff every now and then, it's when you stop having those arguments. Because you stop caring. Yeah. Right, okay.
Starting point is 01:09:51 But, I mean, who knows? Number three, difficulties can no longer be put down to a bad patch. And by difficulties, they mean lack of indoor gardening. Okay. Increased arguments. little emotional intimacy. You can't say, oh, we're just going through a rough patch. It's become the norm. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:10:16 If the patch is no longer a patch, but the whole lawn. Yeah. There you go. These are eight signs your relationship is over. You are caught in a repetitive loop when you discuss things which plays out pretty much the same time every time you start talking. Right, so it's the same thing over and over again, no changes. Other people who you
Starting point is 01:10:36 know well comment that you seem miserable or that as a couple you guys don't look happy together. That's even worse when other people can notice it Yeah And if your friends are noticing it Yeah
Starting point is 01:10:49 Like they're the ones who saw you when you were happy Yeah So God this is quite grim This is even worse than I thought it was going to be Yeah You are scared by what is happening Oh this one is really serious
Starting point is 01:11:00 Okay And if this is happening then you need to seek help And you need to speak to somebody I'll just preface it with that You're scared by what is happening at home you're worried about what the children are seeing hearing and experiencing yeah that's and violence isn't just physical it can be um language it can be an emotional it can be mental it can be verbal it can be anything and that stuff's never okay yeah all right we'll just say that outwardly uh you're not
Starting point is 01:11:21 confident that you can change your own negative behavior, let alone influence your partner to change. And that's what you're talking about. You've just given up. You just can't be bothered. I don't think I could sort this out if I tried. And the last one in the eight signs that your relationship is over, you can't remember the last time you were consistently happy as a couple,
Starting point is 01:11:43 or you can, but it is a distant memory, like your wedding day nine years ago. Oh. Ah, yuck. Yuck, yuck, yuck. I think I'd rather the list of signs your partner's cheating. You know, because at least you're doing detective work or something. At least you've got someone to be angry at in that situation. Look, like I prefaced this at the start,
Starting point is 01:11:59 I think what these are are eight reasons you need to have a serious conversation with your partner. Yeah, and I think it's super important. That's what it comes down to. Yeah, I mean, this is heavy for... It's all things that are signs the lines of communication aren't open. You need good communication, and all of those kind of lead back to that, right? And if this break wasn't good for you and you didn't enjoy it and you're a bit depressed by it,
Starting point is 01:12:19 Brie asked me to do it. What? Well, you did. I said, are you sure? Well, I thought it was going to be a little bit More light and bright ZM's Free and Clint The podcast With mobile smiles
