Hello everybody, Brie doesn't even, I haven't even told you we're doing this yet. Welcome to a turbo edition of the podcast intro. I'm still writing questions for... For Google Down. For Google Down. Alright, well you keep writing those and the guys are busy getting the callers ready for Google Down but I'm just getting this in real fast because I've got to go straight after the show because I've got to take the cat to the vet.

Which you'll hear about in the show actually, but anyway we're just turbo, turbo chatting through this. So, yeah, there's not going to be a lot in this intro. Unless you want to give a quick anecdote, Bree. Is there anything you want to? You know what I thought about the other day? This is the one thing I'll add. Have you ever thought about that onion rings are like the vegetarian calamari? Oh, buzzy G.

Buzzy, right? Love a real onion ring, can't stand a reconstituted onion ring. What's the point? Why is there onion paste in my onion ring? What? I've never had one of those. Haven't you? No.

You would have. You would have. Like a real onion ring is a ring of onion inside there. It's deep fried. Yeah, delicious. Yeah. Have you ever had a bloomin' onion? Well, good for you.

Good for you that you've never had to have reconstituted onion paste in your onion ring. No, I haven't had that. Or maybe I have and I thought this is shit onion ring. It's kind of different between like a hokey fillet and a fish finger. Oh, it's completely different. Yeah. Yeah, not good. Have you ever had a bloomin'?

Hey, if you're listening out there, you're worth it. You're worth a hokey fillet. Unless you enjoy fish fingers, and in which case, fill your boots. Have you ever had a bloomin' onion? A bloomin' onion? Yeah. No. Haven't you had one?

They do them at Outback Steakhouse, which is like an American restaurant. Yeah. And essentially they get these giant white onions and then they cut them so they're like a big flower and they're all cut to pieces and then they put it all in this batter and then they deep fry the whole onion and then you can like pull parts out of it. Delicious. Have you had onion bhaji from Indian restaurants restaurants oh i have and it's amazing it's basically just chopped up deep fried it's so good it's so good problem is you fill up on it before you eat your meal

Listen up, millennials, because I've got some terrifying news for you. We are millennials. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Listen up, millennials. Just sounded like you were an old man talking down to the kids. Oh, sorry.

Listen up, millennials, because I've got some terrifying news for us. Is that better? Okay, cool. It's been revealed the age at which you are most likely to experience burnout. You know what sucks is that I saw this headline on the Herald this morning.

And you were too burnt out to click it. No, I looked at it and I went, I bet you it's around my age. I just had a feeling. Well, congratulations because you're correct. Dilly spot on. First of all, what is burnout? Burnout is when you feel overwhelmed, emotionally drained, unable to meet the demands made of you.

If that's what you're feeling, then you're most likely facing burnout. I think this year has probably fast-tracked that for a lot of people because even though we haven't been going anywhere, mentally I think this year has been so taxing on people. Absolutely. You know, so it's like fast-track people into that burnout. Absolutely. We went through the symptoms of it together today

and Bree went, oh, yeah, you burnt out last year. And you were like, no, I didn't. I was like, no, I don't think I did. I think I was just a bit tired. I was like, I spend a lot of time with you. She goes, yeah, after you had Tui, you burned out. And then you were like, going through the symptoms, you're like, oh, yeah.

I was like, I did cry quite a lot. And how old were you? I was 32. Exactly. In the age at which you are most likely to burn out, according to science, it's 32. So big year for you next year. Hey, wait a minute.

I'm not 32 next year. Are you not? I've got one more year, thank you very much. Oh, well, enjoy that because it's all downhill after that. In seriousness, though, go make a cup of tea. Chill out. It's not that serious, okay? Nothing is.

Take a break. Have some you time. Kit Kat. There you go. Bree and a cup of tea. Chill out. It's not that serious, okay? Nothing is. Take a break. Have some you time. Have a Kit Kat. There you go. Bree and Clint. Bree and Clint from iHeartRadio. This is the latest live from LA with Dean McCarthy. Dean, someone's going to the moon.

Who is it? Can you believe it? Tom Cruise, the actor known for doing so many... He's been on the moon for years, Dean, let's be real. He's been a space cadet for decades. But he's going to the actual space. That's a live live, but a true call. Yeah.

Yeah, finally he's going somewhere a bit more normal than where he normally hangs out. So here's the deal, right? So Tom Cruise, he's going to shoot his new film on a space station. I'm not kidding. They're literally going to shoot some scenes for his new film in outer space.

It's the first time they've ever done this. He's partnered with Elon Musk, of course, and NASA for this. And the date of his launch is October next month. He is literally flying to outer space. He'll be shooting on one of the, I don't know what you call them, space stations? ISS, it's known as.

I don't know anything about this., space stations? ISS, it's known as. I don't know anything about this. The International Space Station, the space station. I call BS that no one's done this before because I've seen the movie Armageddon and Bruce Willis is in space and then I also saw Sandra Bullock in gravity in space. Matthew McConaughey, it is stellar in space. True, and everything you see in movies is definitely real too.

So you've got a great point. Tom Cruise has a point in wanting to shoot this in outer space, and I wonder if this is what people have overlooked. It's probably the one movie shoot location that can't be affected by COVID-19 at the moment. Exactly. You can't shut down a shoot in outer space. There's no COVID in space.

How long do you think they'd have to quarantine for before going up there just to be safe? Quite a long time because we can't be the people who takes COVID into outer space. Can you imagine? We just can't do it. What's that movie with Ryan? Yeah, Ryan Reynolds also saw a movie where he filmed it in space

and there was like that weird virus thing that attacked the space station. Yeah, right. It's been a very space-nology break. So everybody involved, thank you very much. And we'll end it there. That's the latest. Brought to you by Old El Paso. You can launch into mess-free Mexican with their new tortilla pockets.

Free in Clint. You know, so just hang on. We're not doing Google Down yet. But there is a story that is out today where Google has gone down again. So let me guess. We're about to. Yeah, so this. Hit the music.

Hit the music. Google, are you down, down, down, down, down, down, down? What the hell? I think Google's actually down, down. Okay, where's Google gone down? This is a crazy story. Try and wrap your head around this. For a year and a half, there's a village in Wales

that were experiencing Wi-Fi outages from 7 in the morning until about 4 in the afternoon. The whole village? The whole village would go out. And this was for, yeah, a year and a half, 18 months. Did they try unplugging the village at the wall and plugging it back in again? And blowing on the socket. They did try that.

But no, so anyway, a year and a half, there was a lot of angry people because they were like, what the hell is going on? Like it's at 7 o'clock in the morning every morning that it goes out. It's scheduled. Yeah, it's like someone scheduled it. Anyway, after a year, pretty much this team, they call them crack squad of engineers. That's what they called them, to crack the case. Got together from an outside village and there was a whole team of engineers working on this one thing.

Anyway, it was this massive puzzle and they were trying to figure out all these things. And it finally came down to this one thing that they think is called, it's a phenomenon and it's called shine. And it's a single high level impulse noise. It's essentially where an electrical interference of an appliance is affecting the current or something. For the whole village? That's what they think it was.

So someone's got a blender that operates at a frequency. Maybe. That means that they can't get internet during the day. It was the last thing they pretty much could point it down to. And they were like, it must be this. So one morning they went out and they were trying to find where this electrical noise was coming from. And they finally pinpointed it to this one house.

Their names were Alun and Elaine Rees. And they opened the door and they were like, can we have a look at some of your appliances? And it was an old TV that they would turn on at 7am every morning that was interfering with the whole town's Wi-Fi. Really? And it would just take the whole Wi-Fi system down. One old CRT type TV.

Yeah, it was one of those big old ones. I can hear the high-pitched noise those TVs used to make in my head now. It was like crackling. It's like seared into my brain. Did they get a free TV out of it? I don't know. I'm like, congratulations, Ellen, you've got a free TV. Apparently they were mortified when they learned that it was their TV.

They wouldn't care, though, because if the TV's that old, it definitely doesn't get Netflix. It wasn't a smart TV. So for that reason, they don't need Wi-Fi. So wouldn't care, though, because if the TV's that old, it definitely doesn't get Netflix. It wasn't a smart TV. So for that reason, they don't need Wi-Fi. So they're like, it didn't affect us. We're just watching Coro. We didn't even notice. Oh, there you go.

Solved. Congratulations, everyone in Wales. Mainly that one village. Google down. Google down. The real game will be back just after 4.30. Can't wait. Bree and Clint.

About a month ago, Clint tested my mum on her top 40 music knowledge. Yeah. But it was more just her knowledge on the singer Dua Lipa because it went well with the name Hualipa. Yeah, it's a great idea. And we just tested whether she knew Dua Lipa or not. She failed miserably. Terrible.

She got every single one wrong. So I thought it was time for round two. She doesn't know we're calling, but these game shows just spring up on her. She's had time to swat up. Her knowledge should be crispy. She should know every Dua Lipa song in history by now. Hello? Oh, mum, welcome to another round of Who Will Leave Her?

Are you ready to play? Oh, Brianna, honestly. Clint, we've got the first song and Clint's going to give it to you. Here it comes. Mumma Di, can you name this artist? Mumma Di, who's that? Hoopa Leepa. Sorry, that is incorrect.

That is Dua Lipa. The artist we were looking for was Dua Lipa. You were close. Dua Lipa. Here comes song number two. Good luck. Mama Di, who's that? Dua Lipa.

Oh, she's got it. Yeah, well done. All right, Mama Di, here comes song number three. Who's that, Mama Di? yeah, cause I'm bored. You can hit it in the morning. Who's that, Mama Di? Dua Lipa. No. Sorry, that was actually Ariana Grande, that one.

Oh, I thought it was Miley Cyrus. All right, last one. For the jackpot prize, as per usual, of $1,000, who's this? Oh, baby, come on, let me get to know you. Just another chance so that I can show that I want it now. Okay, who's that? Dua Lipa. She's got it! Finally, she caught on to the gag.

Jesus, guys. Sorry, I'm a slow learner. It was in the title of the game, Dua Lipa with Mama Di. Congratulations was in the title of the game, Who A Leaper With Mama Di. Congratulations. Your check is in the mail, but due to COVID-19 restrictions, it may not be with you until 2029. Bree and Clint.

If you haven't watched this doco on Netflix already, I suggest you probably do because it's good to be informed, Clint. Yeah. And it's something that I think affects everyone these days. I also think it's something that we already know, but we try to downplay it. Well, we try to downplay it. I think we all know the issues with this thing,

but we're like, yeah, but I'll deal with it later. It's not that bad. I'll deal with it later. Yeah. The doco is called The Social Dilemma. It's on Netflix. Here's a little bit of the trailer for the doco. When you go to Google, you're going to see different results depending on where you live

and the particular things that Google knows about your interests. That's not by accident. That's a design technique. If everyone's entitled to their own facts, there's really no need for people to come together. In fact, there's really no need for people to interact. It's terrifying. Essentially, they get former tech executives who used to work for, you know, Facebook, Google, Twitter, Pinterest. All the big ones. All the big ones. And I think they've done quite a lot of work in the background so that these people aren't going to get sued,

where they can speak out about, you know, how they've created all of these platforms and products to be super addictive. Yeah, it talks about the fact that everyone thinks the product that they're getting is free. Like, oh, my God, Google Drive is basically free. Facebook is free. Yeah, Facebook is free. Instagram is free.

I don't have to pay for it. There's this quote in it which terrified me. They said, if the product is free, then you are the product. They are selling your pretty much eyes on things. Your eyeballs, your attention and your data. Yeah. Like your scrolling habits, your likes. Your time is being sold to companies.

Yeah, your interests, your political interests, your everything. Everything. Everything. It made you and I have a conversation the other day about, you know, how much we are on our phones and on social media. And it's quite confronting when you do those tests where you go into that part of your phone where you can see how much screen time you've had.

It's very confronting for me because I already know. I avoid it. I actively avoid it. I can sit here and say I definitely have a problem with using my phone too much. Because you're on an iPhone and doesn't iPhone just tell you? Like it goes, hey, this week your usage is up or down? Or do you have to turn that on?

I think you have to turn that on. But yeah, you can go look at any time. But yeah, I'm definitely someone, I'm aware of it. But it's really hard, especially in like certain jobs that we do these days. Like our job, a part of our job is social media. And I think there's good and bad parts of social media. Well, we can write off a bunch of it to work. I'm working.

It's research. But in reality, we could get away with using it a lot less. It's just it's so addictive and it's a default. Like I'll find myself just if I don't have anything to do, just reaching for my phone automatically. I won't even think about it. My phone will be unlocked. I'm like, why am I in here?

I don't know. It's just like second nature. Well, I'm here now. I might as well open Instagram. I saw this article. It was on the Herald about, I think it was five tips about how you can reduce your screen time.

And I know it's like, you know, it's easy to read out and say, but I thought, you know, if we could have a conversation about it. Put your phone in a bowl of rice and put it in the hot water cupboard. Well, you can get those. You know what I always found really interesting is those devices,

they're the lock boxes. Yeah. And you can put your phone in a lock box and it actually locks it for an hour. That still takes willpower though. That, yeah, even doing that takes a lot of power. But these are some tips that this article says might help. Excuse me. Pardon you.

Sorry. It's giving you reflux. Reflux. The first tip they say is to keep devices out of the bedroom. Excuse me. Pardon you. Sorry. It's giving you reflux. Reflux. The first tip they say is to keep devices out of the bedroom. Yeah, that's a goal of mine. My mum does that. Yeah.

And I think it's really healthy. Yeah, it's easy for a boomer to do. Love your mum a diet, but you know, they're different generations. Hey, she's hip hop. She's happening. I know she is. But it's harder for a millennial to keep her device out of the bedroom. Yeah, because you want to scroll through Facebook or have a look. Yeah, but good idea.

Yeah, that's the first one. The second one is delete social media and gaming apps from your phone. Yeah, great in theory. Yeah, but super hard to do. Yeah. The third one is allocate time zones to social media use, which I really like this one. Yeah. So essentially it's where they're like, okay, give yourself a window where you don't feel bad if you're on social media use, which I really like this one. So essentially it's where they're like, okay,

give yourself a window where you don't feel bad if you're on social media. Right. You know? The fourth one is they say turn your phone off for one hour each day. That's achievable. Yeah, that's physically doable. Very, very achievable where you can go, right,

this is the hour. Yeah, I like that. I'm turning it off. Yeah. And don't just sit by the phone for that hour waiting to turn it back on. Yeah, go do something. Go and do something. That's the other part of it.

Absolutely. And the last one is they said download the Moment app to your phone. Moment. Have you heard it? No. So apparently they created this software where it was kind of to track the time that you spend each day on your phone, but crucially the number of times you pick it up and turn it on.

Yeah, right. And they say if you download something like that and you can see the statistics on it, it actually helps you to be like, whoa, actually I need to. Those are great tools. I would love to talk to some people this afternoon who have just gone cold turkey and gone, you know what, I've had enough. I'm getting off social media.

And we're not advocating that that's what you should do because social media, there are lots of good parts about social media. It's a balance. But it's about balance. But did you go completely the other way? And did you do it recently? I'm not talking like it got to 2010 and I decided enough MySpace for me. You know what is a really good idea?

Have a breakup with someone because that'll force you off social media. That'll do it, yeah. You don't want to go looking on social media. In the last couple of years, have you deleted everything? Instagram, Facebook and Snapchat? You've gone, I don't want it anymore. Or I would like to also talk to people.

Maybe you were like, I have a problem with this one. I'm going to delete this one first and maybe you built up to other ones or maybe it was just a couple you deleted. Oh, 800 dials at M. Did you quit social media? That's who we'd like to talk to this afternoon.

You can also text us on 9696. Don't Facebook message us, though. Don't, no. Not Facebook. Bree and Clint. There's a documentary on Netflix that's really creating some noise, and it's called The Social Dilemma. Yeah.

Terrifying insight into what all these social platforms we use are actually doing to our lives. Have a listen. When you go to Google, you're going to see different results depending on where you live and the particular things that Google knows about your interests. That's not by accident. That's a design technique.

If everyone's entitled to their own facts, there's really no need for people to come together. In fact, there's really no need for people to interact. It's so interesting and topical as well with elections about to happen around the world here and in the States because they showed this bit where depending on where you live, if you type in, is climate change real,

you'll get different results. Depending on where you are. Yeah. I think the most confronting thing for me watching the doco was that depending on like your Facebook feed, every person's Facebook feed, certain information is curated for them. For you.

So we could be, you know, living in the same city, you and I, but we're getting fed certain information so we could think totally different things. It doesn't show you what's true. It shows you what you will agree with the most. Yeah, it's a completely tailored news feed service that is directly aimed towards you. So we want to know if you had enough.

Did you quit social media altogether? And is your life so much better because of it? Hayley's here. Hi, Hayley. Hi. Hi. Did you quit social media? No, it was my sister and her boyfriend.

What did they do, Hayley? It was, I think, between January 1st and January 3rd, they just decided to delete absolutely everything off their phones but didn't tell anyone. Oh, no. So you guys are still messaging them like, hey, are you coming to dinner? Yeah, pretty much.

I think we're out camping and we had no idea. My sister had texted me asking me to message someone and I said, well, why can't you do it? She said, I don't have anything. And I thought she was joking, but nope. God, it's so entrenched now that you would check even just your messenger that if I saw someone hadn't seen my message on messenger for 24 hours and it hadn't shown up as seen, I would think they were dead.

Well, a lot of people say you can delete the Facebook app but keep the messenger app so you can still talk to people. Yeah, right. Okay, that's interesting. Let's go to Alex. Hi, Alex. Hello. Hello. Was it you that got rid of all the social media apps?

I sure did. What happened? What made you do it? I was 20 weeks pregnant and I let everyone know that I was having a little boy and then a week later I got rid of Facebook and Messenger and I didn't look back. Nearly been a year.

So you don't have Instagram either? I've got Instagram, but I don't have my notifications on for it. So I go on maybe once or twice a week, and I'm like, oh, holy moly, there's messages there. Yeah. Once or twice a week. So has this had like a tangible, positive effect on your life, do you think? Can you feel that you're better off?

Absolutely. Yeah? Absolutely, yeah. I don't find myself scrolling and looking at everyone else's lives like a tangible positive effect on your life, do you think? Can you feel that you're better off? Absolutely. Yeah, I don't find myself scrolling and looking at everyone else's lives and how perfect they are. I have taken a back seat and looked at my own life, and it's actually perfect. Oh, my God, you're my hero. Go on and you compare yourself to all these other people

who are posting their highlight reel on social media, and it makes you compare yourself. The doco talks a lot about the effects on anxiety in young people as well. And mental health. It's not going to be good. Huge part of it. Victoria, you've got a system that you use once a month.

How does yours work? So I do a social media detox once a month and I delete all my apps. For how long? For a whole day. For one day, yeah. Yep, I reinstall them but I make sure that my notifications are up

so I'm not on it all the time either so every time your phone goes you check it but if you have your notifications off it's pretty good as well I like that idea Victoria, do you think it just resets you a little bit? Yeah for sure, I copied it off some YouTuber

Isn't that ironic? And then at the end of the YouTube video, they go, like and subscribe and turn your notifications on. Victoria, that's classic. Finally, Kat, you went eight months with no phone. Yes. Wait, you had no phone at all? No phone at all, yeah.

Not even like a dumb phone? You didn't even have like one for making phone calls? No, I didn't. I ended up smashing my phone for eight months, well, you know, to get rid of everything. Well, that's dramatic. You could have just hit it. Yeah, you could have.

I did. I tried that, but then I was uniquely going to call myself, and I'm like, no, let's just cut it. So, Kat, can I ask, how did you get in touch with people? Did you buy a honing pigeon or, like, what was it? I didn't. Like, if people wanted to get hold of me, they'd come to my house. Wow, that's wild.

And have you got a phone now? Yes, I do. I ended up having to get one to look for a job. Oh, right. I was going to say. Can you imagine applying for a job? They're like, how do we get in touch? And Kat's like, well, you can come to my house.

Come to my goddamn house like everyone else, employer. Love it, Kat. Thank you very much for the insight. I appreciate it. I think there's a balance to be achieved because like we said, there's good things on social media and there's stuff that takes up too much of your time. So what I got out of the doco was watch it

and find a way of resetting your own balance and finding a healthy amount of time you give all these apps. Yeah. Keep the stuff that makes you give all these apps. Yeah. Keep the stuff that makes you feel good and delete the rest. Exactly right. That's it. Marie Kondo that stuff. Yes.

Go through and see what sparks joy. Your social media. It's time to play Google Down. Google, are you down, down, down, down, down, down, down? What the hell? I think Google's actually... What would you do if Google went down? Well, probably not really know anything.

So we do the opposite here. We test people to see how quickly they can Google stuff. I thought we decided last week that you were going to push the buttons with us so that I had two hands available. Oh, yeah. I did last week. Do you want me to press the buttons? A bit late now.

We'll do it next time. Okay, next time. Pretty much we get someone, one of you guys listening. Andrew, that's you this week. Hello, mate. Hey, g'day. How are we doing? Good, thanks.

You're going to be taking on Clint, producer Anastasia, and producer Ben for the mobile fuel this afternoon. All you have to do is Google some questions quicker than them. What are you Googling on, Andrew? I'm Googling on an iPhone 6. Okay. Oh, okay. All you have to do is Google some questions quicker than them. What are you Googling on, Andrew? I'm Googling on an iPhone 6. Okay. All right. We'll see how we go.

Put us on loudspeaker and here comes the first question. Sorry, Andrew, you need to know. If you want to answer, you yell out the answer. Not your name. Not your name. Yell out the answer as soon as you have it. We're taking the top answers on Google for these questions. Here comes question number one. How old

is Tiger Woods? Start Googling. 44 years. Oh. 44. I'm going to... Wait, what did you say Andrew? I said 44. I'm going to say because of the delay, I have to give it to Andrew. And I think if we slowed it down

he was marginally in front of you anyway, Anastasia. It's all right, Andrew. I'll take you out in the next round. You've got the first question down. He did that on an iPhone 6. And you're in here on some superpower book thing. Yeah, this is the most competition I've had yet. You're one up already.

Oh, I just got the result. He's 44. Nice, mate. Oh, my God. My internet was really slow too. That was a long buffer time. Are you sure it wasn't me that yelled at the same time? All right, everyone.

I'm running this game. Ben, are you even playing? Andrew is one up. Here we go. Question number two. What year was the Statue of Liberty built? Start Googling. Yell it out when you know it.

September. September 1875. Nice, Clint. I'm going to have to say Clint got through the full answer first. Yes! My energy is so slow today. So is your voice. All right.

That means, Andrew, one point to you. Clint, one point to you. I think the first point you've ever got in this game, so well done. I think it was my first point. Well done. Here comes question number three. What is the temperature in Wellington today right now? 14. 14.

14. Ben is in. My skin sucks. He is in. Okay, it's one point to everyone except Anastasia. Anastasia, what is going on? This is the worst day of my life. I think you need to get this if you want to stay in the game.

Okay, if you get this, then we're still in the game. But if you don't, whoever gets this wins the game, I think. That's right. All right, question number four. What is Ed Sheeran's net worth? $200 million. Anastasia's got it. She's in the game.

I'm back, baby. This is the best game. We're at four-way deadlock. Whoever gets this, Anastasia, Ben, Andrew or me, takes out Google Downs. This is the best game we We're at four-way deadlock. Okay. Whoever gets this, Anastasia, Ben, Andrew or me, takes out Google Downs. This is the best game we've ever had. Okay. Andrew, you're still there, eh?

Yeah, definitely, man. Good, good, good. All right, Andrew, come on. I'm rooting for you, mate. Here we go. Question number five. Now, I'm going to say this is a two-part question. Who won the 2015 Melbourne Cup Horse and Rider?

Here we go. Prince of Penzance? Michelle Payne. I voted Michelle Payne and Prince of Penzance. Prince of Penzance. You wouldn't believe it. He's done the whole answer just before everyone else. It was Michelle Payne, the first woman to win the Melbourne Cup

in 155 years and Prince of Penzance. Well done, Andy. This game is so stressful. Well done, mate. He's still recovering as well. Andrew, you pick up that mobile fuel. Very well deserved, mate. Brian Clint, that's Google down.

I'm the host of Gone by Lunchtime, a podcast for the spin-off podcast network all about

I don't think it would be Ellen's cup of tea, but you, I reckon, will love it. Gone by lunchtime. Grab one now wherever you get your podcasts. Bree and Clint.

Hey, I want to talk about, I want to get people's advice on something real quick because I've got a really good mate. His name is Dan and he's an air hostie hasn't worked for about five months because of COVID so he's been doing it pretty tough and he came back for his first shift where he had to fly overseas for the first time yesterday yeah anyway so he hasn't flown in ages so it means like you know all his routine and everything he would have forgotten because it was five months ago.

Yeah. Anyway, he messages me this morning and he was telling me about how, you know, he goes to the supermarket, gets heaps of water and food and packs it all in his suitcase because they get locked down once they get to LA. Oh, yeah, it's all changed, eh? Yeah, in a hotel. You're not staying at the resort and the swim upup bar as a trolley-dolly anymore?

No, they can't. Anyway, he texts me and he says, hey, I'm in LA at the hotel room. I've got 20 kilos of food and water packed into my suitcase, but I can't remember the code that I programmed on my suitcase. No. It's been that long. No.

I'm jet-lagged and grumpy. Do you have any ideas about what you might use as pin numbers so I can try that? All he wants to do is get into his suitcase and eat his blocks of chocolate that he's taken all the way to LA. So annoying. Oh, that is devastating. I felt so bad for him and I started thinking about what would I use

because I think it's a yeah it's a three pin code the annoying thing about luggage codes is they're three digit because normally it's four normally every pin you have is four numbers or sometimes five so the luggage one throws you off a bit you're like did I use my normal pin and just leave the last number off yeah so it's

really hard so do you want to hear what some of my suggestions were yeah so my suggestions were favourite number 69 no it's three numbers oh yeah zero six nine um favorite numbers it could be what about your birthday uh or your partner's birthday you know all the typical ones uh your mom's birthday your phone number yeah um and then i started saying you seem like the person that would use like uh some sort of aviation-based code. 747. Something like that.

And he goes, I'm pretty sure it was something like that. A380. And he goes, I'm pretty sure it was like a retired plane that was one of my favourites that we used to work on and stuff like that. He's like, but I've used all those codes and they don't work. The good thing about a suitcase is you get infinite amount of tries. Yeah, right. Your suitcase doesn't lock you out

if you get it wrong three times in a row. So, yeah, what would it be? What do most people make their suitcase combination? What do you guys use as pin numbers? You don't have to say what your pin numbers is, but do you have any like, you know, is it your birthday or is it a phone number? I'm in the same situation as Dan. I haven't been overseas

for so long that I've got no idea what my suitcase code is. Producers, do you guys use certain things to remind you? I use my sister's, like, certain dates around what she, you know, like her birthday or year and things like that. Cute, your sister. That's pretty cute. It's predictable for me, if it's mine. It's too predictable.

Well, if you find producer Ben's suitcase. Oh, I see what you mean. Yeah. Well, yeah, true. Very true. Although your sister's not impossible to find. We could find out your pin. But yeah, good thought.

Producer Anastasia, do you use anything in particular? For word ones, they're the names of my first ponies. Yeah, that's good. That's classic horse girl stuff too. And the other ones just associate with home And numbers and my sister's birthdays I use my first pet's names too Yeah because that's a very common Security question is what was the name

Of your first pet But I had so many so it's quite hard to guess Oh there was only one memorable horse for me Right I lived on a farm so we had like six first pets. How do we help Dan? None of this helps Dan. Anastasia's first horse isn't going to get him into his 20 kgs of snacks

in his hotel room on the other side of the world. What about like one of his pets, like birthdates maybe though? Yeah. Is that something? Who knows their pet's birthday? People who are like obsessed with their pets would know their birthdays. Right. I want to ask people actually. let's ask people right now listening,

what do you use as your code that I could text my friend Dan and be like try this? Yeah, yeah. Like obviously it isn't your code but like do you use whatever it is? Try, oh, you know what's a really good one? Because when you stay in hotels they quite often have these. You should make it your weight and then you go and weigh yourself and then that's your code.

That changes rapidly. Oh yeah, that's a shit idea actually. It's terrible. Who's the big time celebrity who's gone and got their partner's name tattooed on their butt? The answer is

Hilary Duff. It's her husband. Is he a celebrity? She is. Hilary Duff's husband. At the rain, fall down, you wake my dreams. Is he a celebrity? She is. My family. God, you click-baked me with that one. He's a celebrity because he's married to Hilary Duff.

He might be a celebrity. I just might not have ever heard of him. Do you know Matthew Comer? No. Oh, right. Okay. Well, he's Hilary Duff's husband. And he has gone and got the word Hilary in her handwriting tattooed on his left butt cheek.

He's posted it to Instagram as well, so everyone definitely knows that it's there. So if he ever breaks up with Hilary, his next partner is going to know that on his butt cheek is the name of his ex-wife. Yeah, true. Like, why would he post it? If it was just between him and her? Then it's like a personal thing.

I know no one's planning on breaking up. No one is planning on getting a tattoo and then breaking up. Unless you're getting the tattoo as a band-aid for a relationship that's not working. You're like, this tattoo will bring us back together. Do people do that? People do all kinds of things in the

last moments of a relationship. They're like, I'll propose to you. That will fix things. Let's have a baby. I'm really sorry. I said to you just before I was like, I feel like if you're getting tattoos, especially of people's names, it

is a curse for the relationship. Jinx is the relationship. That's what they say. People say like, if you're getting those tattoos it curses the relationship. It won't work out. Someone say, like, if you're getting those tattoos, it curses the relationship. It won't work out. Someone texted us after I said that and they said, my boyfriend got my initials SW tattooed on his ankle. Two months later, we broke up.

He now has an anklet that says sweet as. And I wonder if he thought about that when he got it done. He's like, well, if I ever do break up. I can change it into sweet as. Or I could get swag. Yeah. Man, swag would be good. Swag.

What does mine say? Oh, sweet. What does mine say? Dude. Is it flattering to get your partner's name tattooed on your butt cheek? That's the other question in this situation Like he's gone home and he's like Babe, babe, babe, babe

Look at this Got something to show you Drops his pants Brown eyes her And she's like Oh, I love it so much Don't say brown eye Brown eyes

It's so offensive Brown eyes are underused too No, I don't think it is Bring it back. I think people realise how offensive saying brown eye was. Brown eye. Show them the brown eye. Let's just say, you know when you'd be on a bus?

You know when you're on a bus on a school trip and someone's like, brown eye them, brown eye them. Looking back at that, really inappropriate. Kids from good schools used to moon people. It turned into mooning, yeah. Kids from the schools we went to, brown-eyed. Anyway, if Matthew Comer was to brown-eye anybody, they would think it was someone called Hillary doing it

because it says Hillary on his butt cheek. He doesn't have to brown-eye. It just has to moon people. Yeah, right. Anyway, he's done it. As he drinks the relationship, time will tell. If they break up, then we'll know it was a tattoo's fault. They've got a baby, don't they?

People break up with babies. They do. People break up because of babies. Sometimes. Well, that is the reality. We're going to ask you the old trusty question this afternoon. Do you have an X tattoo on your body? Oh, thank God.

I thought we were going to ask, have you brown-eyed anyone? Are you busting out a brown eye in 2020? No, no, no. Do you have an ex tattoo? Do you have your ex's name tattooed on your body somewhere? Or even worse, do you have a picture of your ex tattooed on your body? That is the absolute holy grail. That's the holy grail.

Isn't it? Because I know people who have their partner's faces tattooed on their bodies. Yep. 0800 dial ZM or text to 9696. You can remain anonymous if you would like. And do you think that tattoo jinxed the relationship? Oh, I'd love to know that. Yeah.

How long after did you break up? Bree and Clint. Hilary Duff's husband, Matthew Comer, who we've figured out is a singer on one of the Z songs. He sings on the Z track Find You. Yeah, that guy. So they're both musicians,

although she's a musician slash actress. She's a triple threat. She's a triple threat. She's also a dancer. Oh, right. Okay, yeah. And she plays the flute.

Oh, quad threat. Her name now lives on his left butt cheek. It says Hillary. And it's in her handwriting. Yeah. There's a comment on the post because he's put it on his Instagram where someone said, I'm gay enough to know that that's actually Hillary Duff's real signature.

Is that her real signature? She's got nice handwriting. I'll say that. It'd be bad if she didn't. Yeah, if you'd committed to it and you said, I'll get your name on me, babe. Can you scribble it out? And they'd actually scribble it out.

You're like, damn it. Anyway, we've asked, do you have an ex tattoo? I think it's cursed. They haven't broken up yet. But I think they will. After this tattoo. Because I honestly think, and I mean there is exceptions, I know that, but I've heard a lot of horror stories where you end up getting tattoos with your ex

and then boom, break up. Yeah, and then you're stuck with the tattoo. So we've asked you if you've got one. Have you got an ex tattoo? Hi, Graham. Hi, Graham. G'day. G'day, mate.

Are you a man with an ex tattoo on your body? I decided that I would get my wedding ring tattooed on my finger. Oh, interesting. Graham, was this because you do a job like an job with, like, an electrician or something, or just because you wanted to get something different? I've got heaps of tattoos. I've got my hands tattooed and everything like that. Oh, yeah.

And my sleeves and back and everything like that. And I thought, oh, it would be an awesome thing to, you know, like a forever thing. Yeah, quite cool. Yeah, but it didn't last forever. So three years ago I got divorced and now I've got this tattoo stuck on my finger that I can't afford to get rid of. Oh, no.

Hey, well, at least it'll kind of blend in if you've got lots of tattoos, Graeme. The thing that really sucks too is if you had a ring, not only could you have taken it off, but you could have sold it. Oh. Well, I had a tattoo. I had the tattoo and I also wore a ring

while I was married so the tattoo spent most of its time under the ring but now that I've got rid of the ring, I've got this tattoo here and none of my other fingers are tattooed so I was thinking the other way to fix it would be to tattoo all my other fingers. Oh, thank God. I thought you were going to say chop the finger off.

Yeah, don't do that. No, no, no. I wasn't going to go that far. I just thought if I tattooed all the other fingers, it would be harder to notice. All right, so I'm just going to mark down. Great idea. The relationship didn't work out, so that's one point.

All right, let's move on to the next person. Kat, hi. Hi, Kat. Hi. Hi, you got an X tattoo on your body? Yeah, so I got my ex's initial tattoo on my ring finger. We both did it after three months of dating. Three months? That's quick.

Three months of dating. Got engaged after six months and married after eight. Split up now, but the crazy thing is my current fiancé has exactly the same initials. Well, it works out. And did you pick him because of those initials?

You were on the market looking for a... That's a good way to pick people, yeah. You're like, I need to find a DG. Come on, Dad. I was conscious of that. He hates this all and wants me to remove it, but I think it's part of me now, so I'm happy to keep it. Yeah, no one's going to be impressed by that

who's the second one. Yeah, they're like, it's just reused. They're like, well, you can use this now, babe. It's yours now. I've changed my mind. This tattoo's now for you. Okay, that's just reused. They're like, well, you can use this now, babe. It's yours now. I've changed my mind. This tattoo is now for you. Okay, that's all I want. Two.

Two, yeah. And finally, Anonymous, do you have an X tattoo on your body? No, I don't, but my fiancé has his X's name tattooed to his chest. Oh, how big? His chest. Bigger than my hand, so quite big. So every time you guys are, you know, indoor gardening. Indoor gardening, it's the one place my hand is.

Oh, you cover it with your hand. I have to. I've got to concentrate and it's really hard to concentrate with that in your face. Yeah, that's not ideal. I mean, I could think of a way around it, though. I could tell we've done that, so that's all right. No, I was meaning lights off, guys. That's what I'm going to tell the boss anyway.

Free and Clint. Free and Clint's Birthday Banger. All right, Birthday Banger for your Wednesday. We'll figure out what was number one on 16th birthdays. Judica, hi. Hi. Hi. What's your birthday, Judica?

It's June 5th of 1981. All right, you were 16 in 1997 on the 5th of June. And in the late 90s, this had a number one hit. Iconic birthday banner. Judica, that's huge. Oh, no, we're losing you. Are you there? Judica.

Oh, we just came to assume that she liked it. She loved it. Hey, can I ask a favour just quickly? Producer Ben, can you please take the photo of Hilary Duff's husband's butt off the screen? It's very distracting. I've had enough. I could have more, to be honest. Let's go to Melanie.

Hi, Melanie. Hi, Mel. Hi. What's your birthday? 27th. Hi, Melanie. Hi, Mel. Hi. What's your birthday? 27th of September, 1988. All right, you were 16 in 2004 on the 27th of September. And Mel, here's your birthday banger. Also iconic, but for a different reason.

Iconic film clip. You can recall it. Call on me. Do you like your birthday banger? Yeah, I love it. Love it. It's a great one. That's a good pick-me-up.

It's a party tune, yeah. And Angela, hi. Hi, Anne. Hi. Hi. What's your birthday, mate? 16th of April, 1982. Right, you were 16 in 1998 on the 16th of April. And here's your birthday, mate? 16th of April, 1982. Right, you were 16 in 1998 on the 16th of April.

And here's your birthday banger. Also an iconic birthday banger. Natalie Deguglia. Ange, I love that song. What do you think? Yeah, it's a good one. I remember listening to that. That was big, wasn't it?

Back when she was married to the lead singer of Silverchair. Yeah, that's right. Was she married to Daniel Johns? She was, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay, we've got a tough decision to make. We've got Hanson, we've got Call On Me,

and we've got Natalie Imbroglia to choose from. This is a hard one today, isn't it? I've got a strong history with Hanson. Do you? Yeah, I had a room covered in Hanson posters. Like, a lot of Hanson posters. You've got a strong history with them. Yeah.

Like, they're part of the tapestry that is my past. And yet I don't want to vote for them. Huh? I don't want to vote for them. You? I don't want to vote for them. You don't want to vote for them? No. Why not? I think I'm still rebelling against it.

I think I went so deep into a Hanson hole. I wouldn't have said that. I'm still actively rebelling against it. I wouldn't have said that. Well, I came close. My vote is for Call On Me. That's what I'm going with. Come on. Come on, pick it up. That's what I'm going with. Come on.

Come on, pick it up. That was good stuff. Wait, I didn't even hear what you voted for. Call On Me. Yeah, I'll go with you. Melanie, congratulations. You've won Birthday Bagger. Thanks, Sam.

Good work, Mel. All right, let's go down the Eric Pridz hole with Call On Me. I know what I said, okay? I just needed to hear it before it came out of my mouth so I could stop myself. Yeah, I know. You know, in the same sentence.

Still love you, handsome. Especially you, Taylor. There we go, birthday bangers on ZDM. Bree and Clint. There we go. Birthday Baggins on CD and Brian Clems. I'm ready for you to leave I'm ready for you to leave I'm ready for you to leave Oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh Thank you. I'm a beast for me I'm a beast for me See you next time. Is it in Brie and Clint? Eric Predson, call on me. Wonder birthday banger. Banger. Banger. Sorry to the handsome faithful out there, but it wasn't to be. Maybe next time. Maybe next time. Maybe next time.

Maybe next time. Maybe next time. Life update. I've got one. My cat's sick again. Oh, no. How long ago was she sick? Beginning of lockdown one. It was beginning of lockdown one, and she was really sick.

Yeah, she almost died. Ziggy, my cat, lost. You had to spend quite a lot of money keeping her alive. Yeah, we had to do an experimental hyperbaric oxygen chamber treatment on her. I had to drive her to the north shore of Auckland to a fantastic vet

by the name of Sean Johnson, not the rugby league player. I was going to say, God, he's out of career. And he put the cat in like a scuba tank and they feed it. Is this where they swim? Have you seen those where they rehabilitate cats and dogs? On the underwater treadmill? Yeah.

No, this was a dry tank. Okay. And they just pump oxygen in. And it worked. She got better. And now she's not. Now she's sick again. So this evening I'm taking her back to the hyperbaric oxygen chamber

for another scuba session. How much is it? Like the hyperbaric chamber? So the chamber is quite expensive. Yeah, but that's the thing that fixed her last time. It's the thing that fixed her. The chamber is about 200 bucks a session. Yeah, not cheap.

Which is a lot of money. But I mean, it's a family member. But it's a family member. So it's one of those things. Like to me, it's, yeah, she's a part of the family. And we've got pet insurance. This is what I always come back to. And this is what I say to everybody.

You've got to have pet insurance. Get pet insurance because you don't want to have to make these decisions with no money behind you or if it's a difference between you using heating for the month or something. Pet insurance helps you avoid that. If you've got pet insurance, hopefully you won't have to come to that point

where you make the decision of choosing to save, to pay for something over the life of your family. A hundred percent, yeah. But producer Ben asked some grim questions, like real grim, based around that moment. Not this question.

Because people have to make that decision. Yeah, they do. Yeah, but the way he asks it. He goes, how much would it take before you had to? How much to put it down? I was trying to dance around it I know what you're saying You're saying like what would the medical bill

have to get up to before you go we can't do this anymore I have but here's the thing about a protracted illness and it goes you've come this far that's part of it It's like doing a car restoration and then giving up at the last bit of the paint job

because it's already cost you too much money. You might as well finish the job. Or you sell it. Or you sell it. Yeah, there's not much resale value on a sick cat. No.

Also, the thing about an illness that has spread out over a long time, it's like after pay because I'm not having to stump up the money all in one go. Whatever you need to tell yourself.

So it's like, every now and then you get another really expensive bill, but you've just paid off the last one, so you've got some more money there. I don't have a price. I don't ever put the cat down price. I know what I'm like. I would, there would be,

I could never make that decision. No. Ever. No. Like, it's impossible to make that decision. I imagine us living on the street and Ziggy eating her cat biscuits out of a hat, and I'm like, I love you. I would sell. I love you so much. I lost the house for you, but I love you that decision. I imagine us living on the street and Ziggy eating her cat biscuits out of a hat. And I'm like, I love you. I love you so much. I lost the house for you, but I love you so much.

I would probably sell my car before I chose. Yeah, I probably would. That's no lie. And that's not a criticism of people who have had to make the decision. No, because I can imagine, especially if you've got a few kids or if you've got financial problems. Or the animals in pain. I should financial problems. All the animals in pain. I should reiterate that. She's not in pain.

Oh, yeah, that too. She's happy as Larry. She's just got a whole bunch of lumps showing up on her. Yeah. But she's not in pain. So it's hard to go, all right, put that cat down. Depends on the circumstance is what I'm saying, I guess. So to answer your question, Ben, we haven't reached it yet.

We haven't reached the number. Why? Are you taking bets on it or something? You sick individual. Covering off a bit of fashion news on our show recently. Not a lot of aviation news around, not a lot of maritime news, so we've pivoted. Now we do fashion news, and that's how we've got a special sting for it now too. Do we?

Love it. That is a hot sting for fashion news. We're going to do more of this. Today's fashion news is exclusively baby fashion news. Oh, right up my alley. Kids fashion news. It should be because I think there's a way for you to get in on this. I've told you I can't fit into kids' shoes anymore.

No, I don't need you to fit into kids' shoes. Although I've heard that's a life hack for adults with smaller feet. If you buy kids' Jordans, they're cheaper. Yeah, so females especially. I think it's if you're a seven and under, you can buy from the kids' section. Yeah, right, right, right. Which are way cheaper. This is not shoe-based.

This is New Zealand local fashion news. You know the super cool ultra hipster stolen girlfriends club label? Oh, yeah. They've just issued a line of kids' leather jackets. Have they? Yeah. I'm going to bring it up on the screen and you're going to see it. They are so frigging cool.

Okay? It's a real leather kids' motorbike jacket. Very cute. Your kid will look like Danny Zuko from Grease. Your kid will look like someone out of, what's that motorbike show? You know, what's the motorbike show? You know, what's the motorbike show, Ben? Sons of Anarchy? Don't help him!

Well, he needed help. No, you should have let him just wallow in it. How much would you pay for a kid's leather jacket, Brie? I think 50 bucks. 50 bucks. The new Stolen Girlfriend's kid's leather jacket, ultra cool, coolest baby on the playground, $399.

It's a hot jacket. It's a local design. It's real leather. How long are they going to be able to wear that until they grow out of it? Well, not very long. Kids grow very fast, which is weird. Me, as a responsible parent, I can't be shelling out $400 for a leather jacket. Because when you buy a leather jacket, right, and say it is $400,

at least you're like like i could have this forever forever you know i could wear this i could get 20 30 years out of this it's not responsible for me as as a father to be spending this money on this jacket for two my daughter but you cool auntie brie this is the perfect purchase what are you what should you be coming in with something responsible no you should be coming in with a cool purchase. Yeah, that's why I bought her a pair of Converse. Exactly right. She's grown out of those.

So they would have gone great with this leather jacket, but I'm suggesting that maybe, maybe cool Auntie Bree should buy Tui, my daughter, a $400 stolen girlfriend's leather jacket. Cool Auntie Bree's not made of money. No, but that's why I only want you to buy one. Okay? You don't have to buy one for me.

Look, there's a picture of my cat. My cat's got a leather jacket that matches. How cute would it be? How cute would it be if Tui was wearing a leather jacket and Ziggy and Bowie were both wearing their leather jackets? I would love to buy an animal version of the leather jacket. Yeah. Do they have those? Yeah, they do.

Yeah, I've bought, yeah. Is that from Stolen Girlfriends Club? No, I bought those off AliExpress. Well, Tui won't know the difference True I'll just put her in the cat one No, she won't fit that I'll do you a deal You get her an AliExpress leather jacket

I'll tell her at Stolen Girlfriends Club Deal 400 bucks I mean, I really want one But 400 bucks You know how you hear those stories all the time where people are like, oh my God, someone just found a Banksy at an op shop.

Yeah, I always think, that's never going to be me. I think that too, until a story like this comes along and restores my faith in op shops. What about that one where that lady found treasure inside something? Okay, this is close. This is coming straight out of Nelson, okay? Okay.

Oh, so this is local. It's local, yeah. Restore, the second hand op shop In Nelson there They were going through A box of donations And someone donated A whole lot of

Second hand linen Okay Which is very common Yep You go We don't want this anymore But it feels weird Putting sheets in the rubbish bin

Which it does They don't have holes in them So you give them to the op shop Or stains Yeah You can get them from my house then They're going through them. They're like, yeah, this is good.

Give them a sniff test. Smells good. We can use this. In the middle of the pile of sheets, they found a money bag. And inside the money bag was $4,000 in cash. Do you reckon the people forgot about it? So, yeah. Oh, no.

Well, this is where your conscience is called into question. Finders keepers, losers weepers. Arguably. Or you go, well, this $4,000 belongs to the op shop now. Someone donated $4,000 to us. Yeah, but did they know they were doing it? The person who found the money took it to the police and sat there for a few weeks until the person who donated the sheets had to call up and go, hey, did someone drop off some sheets that had four thousand dollars in them and they said yeah it did happen we've taken the money

to the police turns out it was uh the wife who took the sheets into the op shop but the man the husband he'd hit it had been hiding cash and he'd been stashing cash inside the sheets. And this little gap in between the linen that wasn't being used anymore at the back of the linen closet. And then when he went to go to his cash stash, and it wasn't there, he had to say to his wife, Hey, where's the sheets? And she went and took them to the op shop. And he's like, yeah, I took them to the op shop. Oh my God.

He was like, oh, sheet. Anyway, he had to come clean. And she was like, you stupid old man. And they went to the cop shop. They got their $4,000 back. They got it back. Yeah. Just goes to show, hiding money under your mattress or in sheets,

never a great idea. No. Even though there's no interest at the bank at the moment. Do what normal people do. Put it behind the toilet. Yeah. Buy an investment property. A $4,000 investment property in

Nelson. Right on the beach. To Hoonanui, baby. If you enjoyed this podcast, why not give ZM's Fletchborn and Megan a listen too? Subscribe on the iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcasts. ZM.
