What did I do? I'll come back to you, okay? I'm like the moderator in the debate. Excuse me, Mrs. Thomas L., we'll come back to you. Ben, vibe check? About a 7 out of 10. 7 out of 10. 10.

I wanted to say 7 but then I was worried that you guys would be like 7's average by the way. I'm an 8 and a half. Yeah good that's better. And me always a 10

maybe. In fact I'm an 11. Brie vibe check gassy. No I don't want to talk about this. Why don't you want to talk about it why don't you talk about it it's gross you've talked to me about it non-stop yeah but you're my friend yeah we're all friends yeah well that's true brie i'll set the scene you stop me when i've said too much okay brie at lunchtime not gassy no in that way no right the other way just clarify she came back with a delicious looking plate of dumplings and bragged and rightly, how much these dumplings cost?

$1 a dumpling. And I was like, shit, I want some of these dumplings. And I was so tempted to go and get them. And then five minutes after she finished them, she's like, oh, no, these dumplings are repeating on me. No, I said to you even as I was eating them, I was like, I don't know why I do this to myself. I love dumplings, but they're the one food that repeat on me all day.

Anyway, Bree about half an hour ago said to me i feel like there's food cooking inside my stomach oh no your partner is one lucky human tonight yeah night shift it's up top she's burping she's burping as well it's so off like there's nothing worse than a really rancid burp. Like, I'd rather smell a fart. Oh, yeah, that's true. I don't agree. I agree.

Would you rather smell a fart? No, I don't think I'd ever opt for that. I think a burp, like a really rancid burp, like if you smelt one of these. You're talking about other people's, not your own. Other people's. I can give a crap, like, smelling my own burp. Oh, no. These today are that bad that they've made me feel ill.

Yeah, that's gross. Like, they're making me feel. What was in the dumplings? Pork and chive. Yum. Do you think they were off? No, it happens. I think that's why they were a dollar.

It was like dumpling clearance. It happens to me every single time I eat dumplings. I think they, like, all just stew in there like a soup. I did walk into the studio and I smelt it straight away after. And you hadn't said anything about them. I thought you meant me, but you smelt the rubbish. No, no, no. I just walked in and I saw the trays and I was like,

oh, I'm going to take these out. Yeah, they're touch and go. From an outsider, I walked in and I was like, oh, no, these do not smell good. You know, I used to live on a street in Auckland called Dominion Road, which is kind of like... Love Dominion Road. Yeah, and it's the closest that Auckland has to like a Chinatown district.

It's where all the international restaurants are and they have some amazing dumpling places. I'm not going to say which one it was. And if you live in Auckland, it's not the one you're thinking of. It's a different one. Okay. It was my favourite dumpling place to go to

and we'd go there every weekend and they were cheap and they were delicious. No, it didn't get shut down but we were having dumplings there one time and Lucy goes, I need to go to the toilet.

I was like, okay, cool, go and use the toilet. She went to the toilet. She came back and she looked like she was about to vomit in the restaurant.

She saw a rat. No, she said the toilet situation seemed like it had never been cleaned since the restaurant opened like it was that bad i was like do you mean it was a bit dirty she goes no i mean like it was the smell combined with the caked on combined with the whatever else she said i swear to god that toilet has never been cleaned and after that i was like i don't think i could eat there if that's how they treat the toilet because if that's how they treat the toilet what's the

kitchen like also the people who are cooking in the kitchen are using this toilet because it's a very very small restaurant so it's definitely the one toilet and i was like oh man but every now and then i'm tempted because the dumplings were so good this is so and then part of me goes is that the secret ingredient well this is so weird that you say that because literally last Friday my flatmates they were all like arguing about where to go to dinner and one was like nah let's go to the local noodle place I want to go there and everyone's like

no they got rated as a a D and they were like yeah but they're rated D for delicious but they've rated fine now they've brought their standards back up anyway so off they went to this noodle place and um i was in bed and about it was about 11 or 12 o'clock at night and all i hear is two of them so one of them got the squid and apparently it came out like 20 seconds after they ordered and. And it was cold. It was like stone cold.

So they sent it back. And then. They just microwaved it a bit. That's what they reckon happened. Came out like another 30 seconds later. Which would have made it worse. And one of them had like quite a few pieces. And the other one had one bite.

And they were both sick. I wish. I've always wished us that food poisoning was like chicken pox. And once you've had it, you can't get it again. Oh, that'd be good. And your body's like, oh, I've got that bug now. And that's what we're all hoping COVID's like too. It is the worst.

There is nothing worse than spewing your guts out. I haven't had it for years. Years and years and years. Not just spewing. It's both ends. Well, that's the issue. It's like a double-ended firecracker. Yeah, you haven't.

You're like, which way's up? It's coming out both ends. What do you guys do? Because have we all had food poisoning here? Yeah. What do you do? You've never had food poisoning. Haven't you?

Do you sit in the toilet, hold a bucket, or do you sit in the shower and just let nature take its course? Well, not the second one. No. Not the second one. So. Not the second one. So you sit on the toilet or do you sit on the bucket? I've never been to both ends. I've been able to, you just

you're either like on the cold marble floor and then if you need to jump up. No, the last time I was babysitting these really rich kids and I had to jump up and then I went to the shower to get rid of all the stuff on my face. Did they have underfloor heating in this house?

The marble? They actually did, yeah. You got cold when you've got food poisoning, do you? No, but it was marbled so it was a nice kind of cold but then kind of warm. I don't know, it was a nice balance. These people clearly had like a temperature control. You know what I've just remembered about my childhood,

and I don't know if any of you are the same, but the house that I grew up in, I remember outside we had an outside toilet. Oh, yep. Like an outhouse. A long drop or a – Not a long drop. A flushing toilet. Not attached to the house. Not attached to the house.

Not attached to the house. Completely away from the house. Anyway, I remember when I was older, I was like, Mum, why do we have that toilet out there? And my mum was like, Well, when this house that we're living in was originally built, that was the toilet. Yeah.

That's how old the house that we were living in was. So houses back in the day, like... The toilet wasn't inside. You know how I thought this story was going to end? What? And then when we built this house, we kept that toilet for your father. My dad would use it quite often.

Yeah, you would. That's no lie. That was like the Chamber of Secrets. Yeah. The Chamber of... Yeah. A bit of privacy. Yeah.

Yeah. All right. We've covered off... Oh, yeah. A lot of... Yeah, we've covered off all that stuff. Did you guys, when you go into it, one more question and then we can go. When you use a long drop, do you have a look?

No. Not normally. I haven't used a long drop in a while. Is this including portaloos? The curiosity just kills me before or after. Probably better to do it after. Yeah. Because then if you look before, it might scare you.

I can't help but look before at a portalo because I'm like, oh, I hate this. I love this festival so much. I've got ceviche. R.I.P. Yeah. I always have a look in the long drop. I'm like, oh, I want to know what's going on down there.

I once had to fish out. What's happening? At a festival, my sister, it was down in Christchurch and I hadn't packed very well. I thought it was summer. There was going to be a bit of rain and stuff. So my sister, she's like, oh, I've just been shopping. You can borrow this sweater.

Rips off the tags. It was a brand new Calvin Klein one. And I get there, go to the bathroom tactical before you know heading into the mosh and then i i leave and i'm walking back and i'm like it starts raining i'm like oh thank god my sister gave me a sweater i reached down to my waist i'm like oh no where's the sweater we went back into the into the portalula I went to the exact one. You did not. So it had been like paid on. But there was like

dry bits, so I like lifted it up and Juliet's got a Snapchat of me. I won't post in the group. I put it back down in the port-a-loo and that was gone and I had to pay 160 bucks. Bullshit, you told me. No, no, no.

You're gauging our reaction to see if you can tell us the truth no ask them who pees on a jumper no well someone had clearly just chucked it in there which which i wish they they should have split the 170 with me in the words of alfred bray some men just want to watch the world burn and there's a calvin Klein sweatshirt. Who's Alfred? From Batman. Have you seen Batman? Oh yeah, now that you say that, I do remember. So some men just want to watch the world burn. Alright, hey, go, go. That's the sound of the sweatshirt going into the portaloo. Oh, don't!

That's a long drop. Trigger. See ya! Hey Google, what's the time? It's 3pm, give or take a minute. Alexa, play Z what's the time? It's 3 p.m. Give or take a minute. Alexa, play ZM on iHeartRadio. Playing ZM on iHeartRadio. Hey, Siri, when are Brie and Clint on?

Brie and Clint are on air in five, four, three, two, one. Every day, baby. We're here every day. Except last week when I had a day off. But Brie was still here. I'm mainly here every day Yeah, Brie's here One of us is here every day

One of us is here I can't go home Yeah, quite literally She can't go back to Australia Did you see Jacinda was talking about opening the borders? Yeah, she's done the rounds on Australian media Because tomorrow or today Is it tomorrow or today?

Overseas voting for the New Zealand election begins So anyone who podcasts this show actually Get ready to vote in the New Zealand election begins. So anyone who podcasts this show, actually, get ready to vote in the New Zealand election if you're a Kiwi listening overseas, because that's coming up very shortly. And yeah, they asked her about the bubble. Yeah, and what did she say? Her response is the same. She says we want to open the bubble. That's what we want

to do. We need to have a lot of things in place before we open the bubble. Because one of my flatmates, because they all know how much I'm missing my family, one of my flatmates messaged me and they're like, do your parents live in New South Wales? And I was like, well, technically my parents live on the border. Yeah, right. Of Queensland and New South Wales.

Yeah. And my mum said to me the other day, if Jacinda opens up the border to New South Wales, then we live in New South Wales. And then if it's Queensland, we're going to be in Queensland. They need to build like an outhouse, like a sleep out or something on the other side of the border.

That's literally, that's how close it is where they live. And just hedge your bets. One of them, figure out which parent you like the most and get them to live in. One on either side. Yeah, one on either side

and put the one you like the most in the house on the side that's most likely to get approved. Yeah. They're talking about opening it up, the safe areas, because they're going, well, there's no COVID in the South Island,

so why can't we open up the South Island? Is it Queensland? New South Wales they're talking about opening. Yeah, well, they're saying if those two places don't have COVID, why can't they open to each other? Auckland may be still an issue. Victoria, obviously, still an issue. Yeah, that's fine, but why can't we open to the places that don't have it?

Yeah, hopefully. It would be so good if they could get something sorted. I mean, it does make sense to do that if it's safe. Yeah. If it's safe. That's the big thing. If it's safe. Today on the show, if you're ringing for Visa Wellington on a plate, you're going to have

to wait a little bit. We're going to do that at about 10 to 4 this afternoon. Your chance to shout out a local business and win a $100 Visa Prezi card this afternoon. And we're going to pump it up thanks to Pump Sparkling at 25 past four this afternoon. Free cash up for grabs. More cash. But before that, this is doing the rounds today.

People using something in the shower. You can't just say something. That sounds very dodgy. No, your mind is taking you there. Okay, all right. Yeah, this is an unusual item people have admitted. That you have to charge. That you have to put on charge at night time.

And it also lights up. Yeah. And vibrate. Oh, no. No, the innocent people are thinking electric toothbrush. Okay? It's not sinister. Yeah, this is an ethics question for you.

We'll talk about that device in the shower next. ZM. I've always been the one to... Brian Clint. Hey, this is an interesting story that I read in the New Zealand Herald today. There's a guy called Matt from Lower Hutt who has admitted that sometimes he has showers that go for an hour and a half. We're trying to fill the dams at the moment.

No, in Lower Hutt we're not. We're trying to fill the dams at the moment. No, in Lower Hutt we're not. We're trying to fill the dams here. Lower Hutt must have an unlimited supply of water because Matt is using probably the entire allocation that Auckland currently has for a whole day. My max shower is three minutes. How do you know? Because we've got one of those egg timers.

Do you? Yeah. You're a real water saving superhero. I come from Australia. We've been in drought my whole life. Yeah, you're doing your bit. The reason Matt from the hut has an hour and a half in the shower is because he likes to take his phone

in there. What are you doing, Matt? And that's also something that he's admitted to the New Zealand Herald. That's really bizarre to me. He says that in the shower, he likes to browse social media. He likes to check his emails. And if he's planning a long one, he might watch an episode or two of Netflix on his phone.

What? What are you up to? Is he sitting down in the shower? You'd get that way, eh? Yeah. Especially with how hot the shower was, you'd start to get a bit faint. His family have pleaded with him to take baths,

which makes a hell of a lot more sense. Makes a lot more sense. He still gets the joy of being in water for a long time and watching stuff on his phone. And he says, nah, I like what I like and I'm having a shower. He said he's done it for 10 years. Before the phone was waterproof, he was sticking the phone to the outside of the shower glass

so he could watch it through the glass. Oh, you have a problem. Like, if you can't put your phone down for that long, like, what does he do now? Because it's waterproof, he just takes it in. Yeah, you just take it in. Yeah. When I worked with Guy Williams and the first waterproof phones came out, he used to take his phone in the shower all the time just to listen to podcasts.

I was like, get a Bluetooth speaker and put it on the vanity. Yeah, I love having a speaker in the bathroom. Yeah. But I'd be, yeah, no. We're going to ask this afternoon, because it's weird to me that you would take your phone in the shower. Like, it doesn't make sense to me. Like, your shower is your shower.

Get in there and have a shower and then get out. I mean, yeah, it doesn't make sense to me either but are people in 2020 taking their phone in the shower we've asked that on our social media producer Anastasia what's the results at the moment at the moment it's sitting

83% say no and there's a small 17% that say yes they do there is a group Anastasia is a shower person shower phone person oh no no no this is always

it starts this way. When I was younger, it was quite normal. We'd all talk about it at school, how we all put in Ziploc bags. Can I ask, would you FaceTime anyone while you were in there? Instagram story. Snapchat only. Would you Snapchat? Oh, right, just on the Snapchat.

No, no, no. Just on the old sneaky Snapchat. No, those were the days of, like, you know, you texting your friends. It was just, like, you'd text 24-7. Hang on, hang on, hang on. So you're putting it in a Ziploc bag. You put it in two Ziploc bags. Is it a touchscreen phone or did it have buttons?

This was a touchscreen, yeah. An early model iPhone. And you could touch it through the plastic bags. Yeah, yeah, it's easy. It's just like having a life proof. That's a couple pieces of plastic. How long were your showers that you needed to respond to text messages? Well, this was pre- fill the damn time, so probably

long. Oh no, there's no judgement on your shower length. I'm just curious. Yeah, they probably would have been like, like a normal teenage Anastasia shower would have been like 30 minutes. In my eyes, there's only two things that belong in the shower. 30 minutes is ridiculous. Two things should go in the shower. A naked body. Yes.

And beers. Shower beers. No razor, no soap, no shampoo. They're the two things I would rather. No loofah, just your body and a beer. 0800 dials at M. Let's kick the show off with this. Do you take your phone in the shower?

Why? Are you a phone showerer? No judgment. We're just very curious. What are you doing with it in there? Is it waterproof? Why do you do it? Most phones are waterproof now.

Most phones. I'm still nervous about it. 0800 dials at M. You can text us on 9696. We want to know, do you use your phone in the shower? What are you looking at? Who are you texting? Yeah.

We've got a question for you this afternoon, New Zealand. Do you use your phone in the shower? Give us a call if you're in the shower right now. Oh, that'd be good, wouldn't it? 0800 dial ZM. Yeah. Just go and jump, even if you're not, go jump in the shower for us. Or just turn it on.

Bree and I are non-phone showerers. We are beer in the showerers, though. 100%. God, I love a shower beer. It's an incredible sense of freedom having a shower in the beer. A shower in the beer? A shower in the shower is though. 100%. God, I love a shower beer. It's an incredible sense of freedom having a shower in the beer. A shower in the beer? A shower in the beer, jeez. You must have a big beer at your house.

We want to know from you if you're a shower phone person. Bratton. Hi, Bratton. Hello. Hi. It's Brayton, but yeah. Brayton. Brayton.

You take your phone in the shower, Brayton? Yeah, I'm pretty bad. What do you do in there, Brayton? Like just anything from like taking calls from friends, like a couple of times I've taken some calls. And you can hear them? Yeah, yeah. But I think they can hear my shower in the background as well, which probably doesn't

help the conversation, but... Can I ask as a person that takes your phone to the shower, do you also make phone calls when you're on the toilet? I might catch up with so-and-so. Yeah, I might give him a call. Probably not, but I definitely get on my phone and start scrolling.

I think everyone's probably guilty of that. Yeah, right. Weird. But thank you, Brayton. We appreciate it. Anonymous, hi. Hi, how are you? Good, thanks.

You want to remain anonymous because you're going to admit you take your phone to the shower? I take my phone to the shower, absolutely. What's the number one thing you use your phone for in the shower? So I've just moved back from Australia and the time difference. I used to go for a walk with my best friend on the phone every day at the same time. So now I've moved here, the time difference to get ready for work. We just still happen to call each other. See, that's kind of cute.

I quite like that. Do you guys ever FaceTime each other? No FaceTiming, but definitely phone or in the shower or the loo. Whenever it's that time, it's time to call. You're right. You're going to have a conversation on the toilet. Do you have a special spot in the shower where you sit your phone or do you hold it?

Like, how does it work? No, I usually just prop it up on the shower caddy and it sits next to the shampoo and conditioner. I'd love to know if ear pods are waterproof. I don't think they would be. Wouldn't that be helpful, though? Then the phone wouldn't have to be in there. That would be good.

That would definitely help. Yeah. Okay, interesting. Thank you, Anonymous. Finally, Dani, hi. Hi. Hi. Your phone goes in the shower.

You're a shower phoner. Yes, for sure. And what are you doing with it in there? Is it Instagram? No, it's just Netflix. Netflix. You're watching Netflix in the shower. What shows do you like to watch? Lately, it's Modern Family.

Just something light and fun. So how long will your shower go for? A full Modern Family episode? One or two episodes, yeah. To be honest, I feel like I couldn't be someone that takes my phone to the shower because if I'm shaving, whatever, like I feel like I couldn't be someone that takes my phone to the shower because like if I'm shaving like you know whatever washing parts

I need to concentrate. Also you don't want to think that anyone can access your camera. Right? Yeah that wouldn't be good. Don't think about that Danny

it's not worth thinking about that. Yeah don't worry about that. I don't want to ruin your special modern family ritual. Or maybe just put a piece of tape over your camera just to be safe.

Bree and Clint from iHeartRadio. This is The Latest. Live from LA with Dean McCarthy. Dean's on the show with us with news on the late Chadwick Boseman, Black Panther. Dean, what's going on? Yeah, guys, we're still mourning over here in Hollywood from the death of Chadwick Boseman, but Sienna Mellor has actually shared a gorgeous story

that none of us had ever heard before. When they did the film, the 2019 film, Thriller 21 Bridges it's called, she was donated some of his salary by him so that she would take on the project. So they were not going to pay her what she wanted and deserved, and he, Chadwick Boseman, decided to give her some of his salary to get her to do the project.

It's pretty cool. Obviously, if you've seen it, if you've seen 21 Bridges, you'll love it. And, yeah, I think that just goes to show another layer to his personality and another layer to him that we just have grown to love. Why do they take all the good ones so early? Yeah.

It pisses me off. And there is so much stuff coming out and has come out since he passed. He seemed like such a lovely genuine bloke yeah who was battling

and when all this was going on if this was filmed in 2019 he was having his fight with cancer then and nobody even knew

so that's quite incredible and another reason why like a deep dive into his back catalogue that's something you really want

to do at the moment it's great yeah he seems like a lovely human being. Yeah, that's a lovely story. There we go. That's the latest out of Hollywood with Dean McCarthy.

Thanks to Pump. You can get that fresh feeling with Pump's sparkling berry lime with no sugar. Bree and Clint. Just put it out there. We're going to attempt to do something on radio that I don't think I've ever heard before. And I really need the help of all of our bird owner listeners right now.

I'll just put that out there. This is for you guys. Anyone who owns a bird, this could be you that we need to talk to. You guys are underserved in the media. Exactly. We intend on changing that this afternoon. We're taking a stand because there's a story out of Lincolnshire and it's a wildlife park in Lincolnshire

that has talked about how they adopted these parrots and they had to be quarantined for about two weeks. COVID? I think so, yeah. Right. Can you get COVID off a bird? I'm not sure, but it says here that they were quarantined together, these birds.

So they adopted these five parrots. They were quarantined and, youined and after a couple of weeks, the trainers started to notice that they picked up bad habits from each other. And the bad habit was that they would swear at each other. Good. I love that. And they would squawk and go nuts at each other. And obviously they were a bit stir crazy. Anyway, after the two weeks, the trainers, the zookeepers, put them out on display with the other birds. Yeah. And within 20 minutes they had to be taken out of the enclosure

because they were yelling so much abuse at customers. It's like when you're at school and someone learns a dirty word or something rude, it spreads like wildfire. Yeah, parents are just like humans. The minute one of you sees that, you're at school and someone learns a dirty word or something rude, it spreads like wildfire. The minute one of you says that, you're like, oh yeah, we're all saying that now. They can learn stuff from each other, eh? Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I love this story. Can you imagine you go to the zoo and they're just yelling every swear word under the sun at you? Ben's put a swearing bird on our wall. Is this okay to play? Can we play this clip of this? Yeah, yeah. I mean, it's a real swearing bird, but I've beeped it out.

Okay, cool. What kind of bird? Do you know? A parrot? I think it was a parrot, yeah. Okay, here's a swearing bird example for you. What the f***? What the f***?

It sounds so human-like, doesn't it? You would teach a bird that. You would. Because it's cute teaching kids swear words, but it's slightly immoral. Whereas teaching a bird a swear word, victimless crime. I think it's very common to teach a bird a swear word. You know, in Aussie, we have so many cockatoos.

You always hear, everyone always teaches their cockatoos, hello, cocky. So you're kind of doing two birds. My mum always is like to my uncle's bird, hello, cocky. I'm like, settle down, mum. Anyway, what we want to do this afternoon is attempt to find some swearing birds to come on the show. We figure that it's against the rules for us to swear on the radio. And it's against the rules for you guys to swear on the radio.

But no one is going to be able to hold up a BSA complaint against a bird. It's a bird. It's a bird. We can't stop it. Yeah. You know, it's an animal. Yeah. It doesn't know what it's doing.

I mean, there are some words we wouldn't like your bird to say. Yeah. And we trust you that you won't call up if your bird says those words. Well, you can't say that you trust them because it's the bird. Well, again, we don't, yeah, we don't know. Kim, we trust your bird. All the onus it's the bird. Well, again, we don't know. Can we trust your bird? All the onus is on the bird here. I just want one.

We might not get anyone because here's what we're asking for. We're not only asking for bird owners, which I don't think make up a huge portion of the ZM listenership. You're asking for bird owners that are home at four o'clock on a Wednesday. That swear.

That have a bird that swears. Yes. On demand. Because that's the other thing. We need you to be able to get the bird to do it on the radio. Yes. But. This could be your bird's time to shine. Come on. Please. It's up to you guys. We need

you to call now if that's you. 0800 dials at M. We want to get your f***ing bird on the radio. That's right. No swearing birds called, unfortunately. Well, how were they going to call with their claws? Yeah, good point. Well, they could use Siri.

I'm so disappointed. If they could talk, they could have used Siri to call us. I'm so upset. I'm so f***ing upset. I really wanted a bird to call Well, we'll make it our mission. We'll make it our mission. Before the end of the year, a bird will swear on this show. Okay? We'll make it our mission. I wanted it now, though. I know you want it now. We had the dogs call. Good thing end of the year, a bird will swear on this show. Okay? We'll make it our mission.

I wanted it now, though. I know you want it now. We had the dogs call. Good thing it's time. The dogs that could speak called. Yeah, but we've never had a dog swear. If we had a dog swear... Now that would be a radio award. You know, that's how we get on Ellen. If we can get a dog to swear on the show... That would be

flights to LA. That would be next level. Last chance. Do you have a bird? Forget the swearing. Do you have a bird that can talk? Yeah, what can your bird say? If your bird can talk, our phone lines are still open, okay?

Yes, we're getting desperate. Yes, we are. Yeah, we are getting desperate. Do you do a good bird voice? Are you a human who sounds like? We used to go to this lady's house and her cockatoo was so smart It would literally have a conversation with you Really? Like you'd sit down and you'd have a tea and this bird would be like

Ben, give that call We might have one We might have one Oh my god, I hope so And this bird would be like, where's mine? Where's mine? Really? And it would like talk to you and it'd be like

And then you could ask it a question like, what do you want? And be like, white one sugar. Like it would say all of these things that would be like a real conversation like it would actually understand you. Right, yeah. It was the coolest bird. If your bird can talk, you'd want it to have a decent voice. My God, two people have called.

Okay, we're going to take one of these now. Are we ready? Can we take one of these? I don't know. The producers are talking to them. This is real risky radio. Are we going to take them? Producer Ben is saying no. No, we can to take them? Producer Ben is saying no.

No, we can't take them. Why don't we risk it? They're not letting us. Hold on, wait. I think we are picking up one now. No. Are you coming in? No.

What's the deal? No, they're a bit different. You're not wanting them, mate. You don't want these ones. Why? What are they? We've seen a talking bird was one of them and something else was. I used to have one.

They're not there right there. Did they tell you what they said? No, they didn bird was one of them, and something else was, I used to have one. They're not there, right there. Did they tell you what they said? Oh, no, they didn't, sorry. Well, that was good. I enjoyed getting it through Ben instead of... God, let's put that in for a radio award. Bree and Clint. Bree and Clint's Pumped Up with Pumped Sparkling.

All right, this is exciting. Thanks to the new Pumped Sparkling, we've got cash to give away every day and all you've got to do is pump it up. I feel like this segment really does pump me up. Right? It's a combination of a bunch of things. We all get caught up in it.

Yeah, I think it's just the jeopardy of it. And Chelsea, you're the one that's going to be put under the limelight this afternoon. How good? I'm so ready. Yeah. Have you got nerves of steel and aight this afternoon? How good? I'm so ready. Yeah. Have you got nerves of steel and a desire to win? I've got a desire to win. Nerves of steel, no.

Well, one out of two ain't bad. All you got to do is yell stop before the bubble bursts and you'll get however much money it's up to by then. The trick is holding on long enough but not too long. That's exactly right.

Good luck. We need a nice, loud, but not too long. That's exactly right. Good luck. We need a nice, loud, clear stop as soon as there's enough money there for you. Good luck, Chelsea. $5. $18. $30. $45. Keep going, Chelsea. Keep going. $30. $45. Keep going, Chelsea. Keep going. $35. $120. Oh, here we go.

$170. $190. $205. Oh, no. $220. $245 $245 Stop! No!

Shelton! Oh no! Your nerves were too steely. I know, like two seconds too late. Well after the bubble burst. Can I ask, what number were you holding out for? What number were you going to for? Yeah, what was your go-to? What number were you going to say no to?

Um, 300. Anybody around there would have been amazing. That's about right. So not too far off. Yeah, not too far off. Oh, sorry, Chelsea. Bugger. We'll try and find you a consolation prize.

But yeah, no, sorry, the bubble burst on you today. Thank you for the opportunity. You're very, very welcome. Lovely. We didn't pump too hard. That's what my brother always says. I got my pump on too strong. Got my swole on.

Does that mean that the amount tomorrow will be bigger? Is that how it works? We don't know. No one knows until you get on and play. That's Pump Up with Pump Sparkling. You can get that fresh feeling with Pump Sparkling, Berry and Lime. It's absolutely fizzing with no sugar.

Free and Clint. Hey, proud New Zealand moment, actually. We're up on the world stage once again. First Israel Adesanya and now this. Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern is nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. This is crazy. And according to some global bookies, she's odds on to win the thing. Is she?

Yeah. That's really interesting. So she's nominated for a couple of things. She's nominated for her COVID response and also the way that she handled the mosque attacks in Christchurch last year. Yeah, I mean. She was a global beacon of compassion and an example for the rest of the world of how you deal with something like that. I mean, some of the, you know, speeches and pitches that came after that and it was incredible.

I'd never had in my lifetime being from Australia, I'd never seen a leader. Step up that way, right? Step up that way and give so much compassion and support to those people who really needed it. But is it enough to win the Nobel Peace Prize? Who's she up against is the real question. So to win the Nobel Peace Prize, she'll have to beat a few people.

One of the people that she'll have to take down is Greta Thunberg. You have stolen my dreams and my childhood with your empty words. How dare you? And is there any victory in beating a child? I don't know. Jacinda would be standing up there with the trophy or to be fair, it's 2020, she'd be on Zoom.

Suck eggs, Greta. Greta's like, how dare you? You've stolen my childhood. You've stolen my award. So yeah, to win it, she has to beat Greta. She also has to beat another beacon of hope, truth and light, nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in 2020, Donald Trump.

I've said that if Ivanka weren't my daughter, perhaps I'd be dating her. Stop it. Him. Is he nominated? He's nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. For what? I don't know.

Services to spray tans? I don For what? I don't know. Services to spray tans? I don't know. I don't know. And is that it? No, it's quite a long list, actually. Is it? The Black Lives Matter movement is nominated. Oh, yeah, wow.

Bill Gates is nominated. The World Health Organization is nominated. Just a few small companies and people. But you know us in New Zealand. We're just happy to be invited. Hey, that's amazing to just even get a nomination. We're just happy to be here. Thank you.

Is this our seat here? Well, thank you for having us. Do we need to take our shoes off? Is there free entrees in Maine? Is this chicken or fush? Guys, can you smell that? No, I'm pretty sure. No, I can't smell anything.

It smells like it's down. Google, are you down, down, down, down, down, down, down? What the hell? I think Google's actually... This is crazy, but after... This is true in real news, after the presidential debate in America, Google is having an influx of people Googling,

how do I move to New Zealand? And that's no BS. Is that true? That is true. After watching that debate, I would want to live anywhere but America. People are like, I'm getting the hell out of here. Yeah, I'd be like, what is the weather like in North Korea? Yep.

Seriously. But I'm going to check all my options. I've had enough. Anyway, if you haven't heard this game, it's essentially a game, like Clint said before, pretty much the chase if the chase had Google. Yeah. Who can Google the fastest out of Clint, producer Anastasia, producer Ben, and you, Anna, hello.

Hello. Are you a fast Googler? I am super, super, super fast. Excellent. That's what we need, Anna. What are you Googling on? What's your device of choice? iPhone.

iPhone. Okay, great. Cool. All right, Anna. So the game, Anna, if you haven't heard before, you just yell out the answer as loud as you can. You don't have to yell out your name or anything. Just yell out the answer as soon as you have it.

Okay. And we're looking for... I want you to hit start. No, you don't get a hit start. I wish I could give you a head start. We're looking for the top answer on Google for these questions, okay? Yep. Question number one.

What is the hottest chilli in the world in 2020? Carolina Reaper. Carolina Reaper. Carolina Reaper. Oh, you were so close, Anna, but Clint just got you. I hadn't even searched at that point. Yeah, that was quick. Guys, mate, I've got to be honest with you, I guessed it. Yes.

Oh, did you? Yeah, and I just happened to get it right, but I also Googled it. So I guessed it, said it, confirmed my answer's off. No, that is allowed in the rules. If you think you know it, you can yell it out. One point to Clint. Here comes question number two. Come on, confirmed my answer's off. No, that is allowed in the rules. If you think you know it, you can yell it out. One point to Clint. Here comes question number two. Come on, Anna, you got this.

I know that because I've eaten it, by the way. You were second. My partner grows them. Oh, you should have got it, Anna. Oh, Anna, where were you? Here we go. Question number two. How heavy is an average bowling ball?

They're Googling. Yell it out when you know. Six pounds. Six pounds. How much is five kgs in pounds? The average one is 12 pounds. This question's a mess. Let's move on.

Because I didn't have the kilos written down. Oh, 2.8. Did you Google it in kilos? No, I Googled it in pounds and it says it's between 6 and 16 pounds. This question's a write-off. Yeah, so let's go question number three. That's a write-off. No one got that one.

Here comes question number three. On average, how many cubs does a tiger have in a litter on average? One. Three. Three. Seven. Ben got it first with three. The average is three, but can have up to seven cubs in a litter. All right.

One point to Clint. One point to Ben. Come on, Anna. Come on, Anastasia, to stay in it. Here comes question number four. What is the most popular shoe brand in 2020? Nike. Anastasia's got it.

All right. So to bring it to a full tie break, Anna, you need to get this one, okay? All right. If anyone but Anna gets this question, they win the game, right? Yeah, exactly. I can't point out just to stop. Okay. All right. All right, come win the game, right? Yeah, exactly. I can't point out just to stop. Okay. All right.

All right, come on, Anna. Here comes question number five. How many gold medals did Team New Zealand win at the 2012 London Olympics? Six. Oh, producer Ben's taking it out. Where have you come from? You always lose. I didn't even know you were in this game.

What you couldn't see behind the scenes was Brie was desperately asking us to let Anna have this one so that she could stay in the game. And Ben goes, nah, foot on the throat. Got to win the game, baby. I was trying to help you out, Anna, because I wanted to give you a fighting chance. But no, Producer Ben selfishly swooped in. No, good win from Producer Ben.

He's like Team New Zealand at the Commonwealth Games. Anything to win, baby. Is that your first win in Google Down? Yep. Keeping up to date with the news just became a little easier. As it heralds new podcasts, the front page is your short, sharp daily news podcast. Join me, Damien Venuto, every weekday morning as I chat with journalists and newsmakers

going behind the headlines to break down what you need to know on the biggest news stories of the day. Listen to The Front Page at nzherald.co.nz slash podcasts and follow us on iHeartRadio or wherever you get your podcasts. Guys, I love a study. We all know. We know. We all know. We all love a study.

I love a study. I love stats. I love talking about it and then, you know, getting our listeners' opinion. All right, inform us, oh studied one. There's another study that's been done. And it's about pet owners and different questions I've answered about their bond with their pet. Okay. So this was a massive survey actually and this was done in 2020 and they surveyed around 13,000 pet owners. Yeah. Which it said represented almost 25,000 dogs and over 6,000 cats.

Wow. So a lot of animals, a lot of owners. And they asked them some interesting questions about the bond that they have with their pets. Apparently, it turns out 72% of dog owners and 32% of cat owners admitted that they actually have cancelled plans with humans to spend quality time with their pets.

Right. So they would rather stay at home or do something with their pet. I understand why the dog owners were 72 and the cat was 32. Because you can't do much with a cat. You can't plan anything. No, you can do. Well, yeah. But you can't plan anything around a cat.

What do you mean? They're on their own schedule. That's what I mean. You Well, yeah. But you can't plan anything around a cat. What do you mean? They're on their own schedule. That's what I mean. You go, no, I'm going to stay home with my cat. And your cat's like, screw you. I'm going outside for five hours. Yeah, I want to go play and do my own thing and hunt. Yeah, I'm going to disappear.

I'm going to the neighbor who hates me, but I like them better than you. Whereas the dog, they're trapped. Apparently also 64% of pet parents regard their dog or cat as being their child or family member. Yeah, I get the family member thing. Like I said to you last week, we've got a cat who's very sick

at the moment and is having that most bizarre treatment. Like she's in a hyperbaric oxygen chamber for two weeks to try and get rid of this virus that she's got. The cat doesn't have COVID. It's a different virus. But you do. They're

a family member. You go, this cat is a member of our family. It's got cat herpes. No, it's not cat herpes. She was a woman about town. She was not. She was. But they're a member of the family and so you feel like there'd be a hole left in your family if your pet was gone and if you had the ability to help them

you want to help them. Our dog, our childhood dog who we rescued when she was four and then she lived till she was 18. She was a bull mastiff cross wolfhound. When she passed away, I swear my mum was more upset than anything to do

with us kids. When my brother broke his arm, she was like, hey, it'll heal. The dog never let her down. She cried for two weeks. She was so upset and I'm the same. Unlike you guys,

the dog's never done anything to disappoint her. Exactly. She's like, I love that dog. The dog was my favourite. Yeah, god damn. Why did they take the dog?

A few more stats from this. They also said that 17% of pets have their own social media accounts. Oh, that's stupid. Who'd do that? You've got one for your cats. Who would do that? No, you've got one. If my cats have a social media account, I'm unaware of it.

They've set that up themselves. Have they? Yeah. God, they're really business savvy because they do a lot of paid posts. Bree and Clint. Yeah, that's right. I knew you'd still be here. Ah, look who's stuck around.

Yeah, look who's stuck around. Look who's still here to find out why the woman's husband left her after the baby was born. Literally moments after a woman has given birth, her husband has left her. He's taken all of her stuff. He's thrown it out on the front lawn. He's taken, he's packed up his stuff and he's gone. Why? He's out. So it all starts when obviously the wife is in hospital. She's pushing. She's trying to get this baby out. The husband's there. It's all happy families. And the mother and father in this situation are both Caucasian.

The baby, when she gives birth, comes out not looking Caucasian. Oh, I see. This is a classic. No, there's a lot of twists in this story. Stick around. Okay, all right. So apparently the baby comes out and the mother said it looked like she could have had two biological parents who were of African descent.

Yes. And so the mother was shocked and she was like, what the hell is going on? Was she or was she pretending to be shocked? No, she was shocked. And the husband was like, said the same thing. Oh, you're pretending. You've cheated on me.

You've had an affair. Yeah. Stuff you. I'm leaving. And left the hospital. Didn't even. Call the real dad. Call the real dad.

Didn't even let her, you know, get her two cents in. Didn't talk to her about it. He just left. He's packed up all his stuff. He's thrown her stuff on the lawn. Wow. It's been a big debacle, right? Yeah.

Not good. Anyway, the wife kept saying, look, I haven't had an affair. I haven't slept with anyone else. I don't know what's going on. I swear to you. And he's like, well, clearly you're lying. Yeah. Anyway, push came to shove and eventually.

Baby says different. Baby says different. Eventually, plot twist, he agreed. He said, fine, let's get a paternity test. Yeah. That's what I want to happen, you know, and then we can, you know, really find out. Put this thing to bed.

Exactly. Anyway, so eventually he agreed to the paternity test. He had it done and it revealed that he was indeed the father of her baby. Dun, dun, dun. So she wasn't lying. She never had an affair. She didn't sleep with anyone else. She was telling the truth.

The ancestry test also revealed that it was on his side that he had 30% African ancestry in his family. And he didn't know about it. He didn't know about it. Oh, my God. It's like how my brother came out ginger. Yeah. And neither didn't know about it. He didn't know about it. Oh, my God. It's like how my brother came out ginger. Yeah. And neither of my parents are ginger.

Well, that's a, is that a, what's it named? Yeah, it's a recessive gene. Recessive gene. Anyway, so, you know, obviously the truth came out. And he was like. How did he not know he had African heritage? Well, he might have been adopted or who knows. Oh, my God, Buzzy.

Imagine if that's how you found out that you were adopted. Well, he might have been adopted or who knows. Oh, my God, Buzzy, imagine if that's how you found out that you were adopted. Well, you could, yeah. So you go, Mum, I've just had a baby and I've found out that I've got African heritage. And she goes, okay, well, now's the time to tell you that you're adopted. And that's probably where it comes from. Whoa. Do you want to know what happened between them in the end? Yes.

So obviously he would have felt like an idiot. Yes. So obviously he had to buy her a lot of flowers. He would have felt like an idiot. Yes. And he was very apologetic said you know I'm so sorry I can't believe I didn't believe you blah blah blah. She's like I don't know if I can forgive you. Wow. So they're now trying to work it out but she's like you showed your

true colours. Even if she can forgive him you've got to make him sweat for a few days. You know? You only have a small window to go, I'll think about it. Even if you know you're going to take them back you'd be dumb not to go, I need some time. Plot twist though, right? Yeah, massive plot twist. Absolute plot twist.

Because even if, yeah yeah, interesting. Horrible time to leave someone though in the lurch like that just after they've been through probably a 36-hour labour and he's like, I'm out. Oh, it's horrific. And even if she had cheated, I want to say be the bigger man

and just don't leave straight away. Well, not, yeah, two minutes after. Yeah, at least help her through the... I mean, it would be a shock, though, wouldn't it? Yeah, it would be a shock, yeah. We wanted to know this afternoon because obviously he dumped her literally moments after she gave birth to his baby. Yep.

Not a great time to dump someone. No, one of the worst times to break up with someone. Probably, if not the worst time. But we want to ask you, has this happened to you? Have you been dumped at the worst possible time? We're talking dumped at a funeral. On your birthday. On your birthday. On your birthday.

Christmas. You find out that grandma's dead and then your boyfriend goes, that's horrible news, but I'm going to make it worse. I'm breaking up with you. What about whilst on an overseas holiday? Oh, 800 dials at him. We want to know the worst possible time to get dumped. Did it happen to you?

Or did you do the dumping? We'll take that as well. A big, royal, solid dumping. Is that you? Call us now. 0800 dials in. Can you not say it like that, please? Why? Oh, it does sound a bit like that. Sounds like something else. Yeah. Bree and Clint. Crazy story about a woman who gave birth and her husband was there. And as soon as the baby had come out, he goes, nah, I'm out. I'm leaving you.

No, thanks. And he went home, packed all his stuff, threw all his stuff on the lawn, had a tantrum because the baby came out black and neither of them were black. Well, so they thought. Well, so they thought. Turns out it actually was his baby. He got a paternity test done and he had a black African American heritage

in his family. Should have gone to Ancestry.com. Well, they did eventually. Should have gone to Specsavers. And he was like, I had no idea. Yeah. We want to know, is that the worst time to get dumped? Just as you've given birth? Possibly. Or have you been dumped at a worse time than that? 0800

Melissa's here. Hey, Melissa. Hi, Mel. Hi. Was it you? Did you get dumped? Yeah, I got dumped on Valentine's Day morning. Oh. What the hell?

Yeah, he was with somebody else the night before apparently, so he still brought me flowers. He brought you flowers. Wait, did you say he was with someone else the night before? Yeah. Yeah, he was. Well, we weren't living together at the time. We'd been together sort of off and on for a few years.

And, yeah, so we went together that night. And he turned up in the morning with these flowers and said, I'm sorry, I was with someone else last night. What are the flowers for? You're not going to just help the situation. Had you got him a valentine? He probably found them. He probably picked them up somewhere and found them.

Were the flowers a time machine to go back in time and not be a dick? He was like, sorry, these flowers aren't for you. They're for the new girl. I'm on my way to her house. Had you got him a valentine's present? I honestly can't remember. I'm not

sure. I probably didn't actually. I probably suspected something was up. Yeah, right. I haven't think, yeah, I'm not sure. I probably didn't actually. I probably suspected something was up. Yeah, right. I hadn't really sort of had any sort of luck with him. Because if you had got him a present, it would be good to have something to throw at him in that moment, you know? Yeah, yeah. Some kind of projectile.

Yeah, right. Preferably like a perfume or an aftershave. That's a good start, getting broken up with on Valentine's Day. Hi, Julia. Hello. Julia, what happened to you? Did you get dumped at a really bad time? A really bad time, yeah. So like a bit of scene setting, I live by myself and my fiance lives over in Australia

and we had just gone into level four lockdown and it was a Monday morning it was like eight o'clock I had been working on a project for a year it was a technology change that we were going to have to support virtually and I was just getting on a call to support 60 users on our go live day and I got a text and I thought, oh, this is like my fiance. He'll be saying, good luck, babe. I hope go-live goes well. And he was like, it's over.

So I had to like support all of these people and still do the rest of the whole day. Your fiance broke up with you before you had to go live with 60 of your clients and people like that. That's easy though, Julia. Why don't you just say, oh, I'm having bad Wi-Fi connection and then just close your laptop and you're out. That is, yeah, right. Yeah, that's rough, isn't it?

The COVID thing adds another level to it, but you can't break up with your fiancé over a text message. Yeah, that's rough. You just can't do it. I've got to read this text out because it's crazy. Someone texted us because we're talking about the worst possible time to be dumped and someone said, I got dumped by my boyfriend whilst I was in labour. He told me that he was sleeping with the neighbour who lived four houses down from me.

Hashtag prize pick. How do you think that that is the moment to break up with them? Can you imagine? And the adrenaline I can imagine a woman in labour would have. You better be able to run. She's about to go super saiyan and push a person out of her body. And you think now's the time to go, I'm leaving you for the neighbour. Finally, Hannah, did you get broken up with at a really bad time?

Yep. What happened, Hannah? Went to go and find out what sex the baby was and it was a girl and he said, no, can't do this. The universe is against me and he was out. Because it was a girl? Because she was a girl. Oh, I'm about to go super saiyan right now.

That's disgusting. What a piece of, sorry, excuse my French. You know, but it was the best thing that happened really because I've got an 11-year-old girl now and she is just full of beans and doesn't care at all about it. That's given me goosebumps, that story. Did you keep any kind of relationship with the dad? Yeah, we were together for like a year and a half and then we separated before we knew that I was pregnant and then we thought oh, look, we should try this.

We should try this skin and actually make a good effort about it. And, yeah, as soon as it was mentioned that she was a girl, he was like, no, can't do it. We say this a lot. We say this a lot because we do these weird topics all the time. Oh, my God, I'm so angry. You and your daughter are better off without him around. Absolutely.

And you sound like you have an amazing attitude. And your daughter and you guys are so lucky to not have him as a part of it. This is such a grim topic that we did. It really is, isn't it? What did we expect? Feel good stories? I mean, yeah, you don't get those in breakup stories, do you? Bree and Clint.

And I don't think she ever will. It's an ace in the hole. Brian Clint. Join us on a journey back in time. It is, what, 2008? Nine? Eight or nine. 2008 or nine.

We're in the great state of Florida. Brie Thomasel is on a softball scholarship, and she's killing it. As part of the hoopla that they have in American sports, she's got to come out to a walkout song, right? It's a big deal, college softball over in America. It's actually so amazing. You get big crowds, or they used to before COVID, big crowds,

and every person that was in the batting line-up, you'd have to choose what song you wanted to walk out on deck, they used to call it. Out onto the diamond. Out onto the diamond. Out onto the diamond to like kind of pump you up and get everyone ready and knowing that you're coming out. Bree said to us today, it came up in a Facebook memory, her walkout song.

She said, do you want to know what my song is? And I said, absolutely not. We want to guess what your song was. So- What a fun game for everyone this afternoon. Everybody has put in their submissions and hopefully one of us has got it. Producer Ben, producer Anastasia and myself.

I can't wait for all the funnies that you guys have cracked. We've all put our best foot forward. No, no, we really want to get this. Yeah, I bet you do. We all really want to get this. Yeah, I bet. So if we get it right, you have to tell us. Okay, so I'm not going to know what is what.

Who chose what. You can, yeah, if you want to. You can know. I don't mind. I'm proud of mine. Yeah, because we want to win. I don't mind introducing mine. All right, you lot, just play the damn song.

Okay, Ben, you can introduce yours. You ready? Okay, yeah, I'll go mine. So, hi, I'm Ben. Hi, I'm Ben, and I know for a fact this was Bree's walkout song. DJ Khaled. Hey! Yeah! out song. Yeah, they'll get you going. Great choice, Big. Such a great song.

Although, I find when I was walking out onto the diamond, I didn't want to be too cocky in case I struck out. Well, don't give it away. Don't give it away, okay? Oh, right. Everyone's in it to win it, okay? All right, Ben, did your song exist in 2009? Doesn't matter.

Doesn't matter. Hi, I'm Clint. And I know for a fact that when Brie was playing softball in Florida, this is the song that she walked out to. But it didn't have a beep in it. I just wanted to put it all out there on the diamond And just be like Am I in your head yet? Yeah

Run at me She also wanted to see you after the game Yeah, so I mean My best foot forward I'm pretty sure I know what it is I mean, the diamond did have first, second and third So Nice

Yes Anastasia, you want to have a crack at this? Yep Hi, my name is Anastasia Simon did have first, second and third. Nice. Anastasia, you want to have a crack at this? Yeah. Hi, my name is Anastasia. And I think that back in the day when Brie was handling heaps of softballs, this is the walkout song. Bagger. Yeah.

Rep in Australia. Yeah, Rep in Australia, yeah. Bagger Yeah Ripping Australia Yeah ripping Australia My guess Eka deka And then I just walk out onto the diamond And I point my bat Over centre field Back to home plate And back to centre field

It's going downtown baby Yeah That would have been a great pick plate and back to centre field. It's going downtown baby. Yeah. That would have been a great pick. Alright our submissions are in and we have here the actual result. None of us know if we've got this yet. Yeah true. Mine, I feel like it's really boring

compared to all your great picks. This was the song I was walking out to. What is this? Is this from Fast and the Furious Tokyo Drift? Here comes the boom, baby. Yeah, right. You know it was softball, eh, and not MMA? Right.

All the other girls are like, damn, who's the hard out from Australia? You're cool, man. Cool. Brian Clint, here's LAB on ZM. Brian Clint. Just before we went to air today, Trump v. Biden, Biden v. Trump. The big debate that the whole world has been waiting for Last time we saw Trump up there was when he took on Hillary Clinton

And kind of changed the whole way the election was going, people think The way that he handled those elections While he didn't do it well He did something that meant that he became Like he became a real choice for somebody He was like, yeah, I like him better than I like Hillary Clinton. Yeah, to be honest, I can't really remember it. I just remember when everyone was voting

and looking at how the votes were going and everyone just in disbelief. That's all I can remember. Remember he stalked her on stage? Because they have different formats. Some of them you're standing behind a podium. Some of them you have no podium and you just stand there. What, like a TED Talk?

Yeah, they do. Really? They do it on purpose so you can see the candidates in different situations and see their body language and stuff yeah and the one where there was no podium he followed her around the stage so as she walked somewhere he would walk like a shark yeah it was terrifying anyway um biden and trump biden and trump today and um you said straight after the debate that um there was spike in searches of people wanting to move to New Zealand. That's no BS. Google reported a rise in searches from America of people being like, how do I move to New Zealand? Very flattering for us. Yeah, very flattering.

It's interesting to say because I lived in the States for a couple of years. So I've got quite a lot of friends who obviously still live there who are American. And I literally was just scrolling on my Facebook and a few people that I know who everyone's commenting on it. It's like obviously the biggest thing in that country right now. Yeah. And it's interesting to see some of the political views

that my friends have. Well, you've got Trump supporters in your feed. Yeah. Do you? Yeah, quite a few. This person said Chris Wallace is throwing, who's the, he was the. Moderator. Moderator, is throwing his support to Biden by cutting President Trump off when he's trying to respond.

Oh, it gets so down and dirty, doesn't it? It does. And then there's going to be people who have, you know, obviously different views on that as well. But we saw a clip of Chris Wallace, who is the mediator, and he literally is just trying to calm them down. What he has to do is keep the thing moving forward and he has to step in when it starts to get personal and go off topic.

So what we've got is a montage of the man who had the job of trying to keep these two in line this afternoon. Have a listen to a bit. That's the end of the segment. We're moving on. Can I be honest? He stood up with a billion dollars.

If you're a gentleman, I hate to raise my voice, but I think it seems to be why shouldn't I be different than the two of you? Which was heavily, you would have been much later, Joe. Much later. Mr. President. You're talking about two million people came out and supported you. I think, gentlemen, I think I'm going to take back the moderator's role.

I don't think you are. And I want to get to another subject. Well, then you know what? No, no, we're done, sir. Everybody, everybody, if you're a bad idiot, then you're a radical. All right, gentlemen, we're now moving on to the Trump and Biden records. When a president... I'm going to ask a question. Well, you know, as the

moderator, sir, I'm going to make a judgment call here. Let's talk about... Let's talk about... Gentlemen, I was credited. I did not say it. He said, stupid bastards. Sir, stop.

I would play it. tape. He said, stupid bastards. Please, stop. I would never say that. I would play it. Play it. Mr. Vice President answered his final question. The final question is, I can't remember which of all his rantings. I'm having a little trouble myself. It's crazy, but the only thing that Chris Wallace, the moderator, could do to calm Joe Biden and President Trump down. One. Two. Don't let me get to five. moderator could do to calm Joe Biden and President Trump down. One,

two, Don't let me get to five. Don't let me get to five. I hope Paddy Gowal was watching that. And tonight, he has a firm handle on Judith and Jacinda, and he just really, just really keeps them apart. And part of me also hopes that it gets real dramatic

like the American one. While that was a hot mess, it was entertaining. And yeah, I know the future of the free world is at stake, but it makes great TV. Was interesting to watch. If you're looking for a new job, then this... Oh, me. Okay, we'll settle down, you. It took me a second to realise what was happening.

That joke, you jerk. This woman, you could take a few lessons out of her book because she started a company at the start of the year and she's now obviously through COVID and the pandemic, she says she's struggling to keep up with the demand for her services. Business is booming in her industry. Business is going bananas. Is it homemade face masks?

Well, no. Okay. Is it a soap company? No. What else could be booming? What else is booming? Hand sanitizer companies. Think along the lines of cleaning.

Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Well, yeah, that's exactly what it is. Cleaning. COVID-related cleaning. She comes and cleans people. Oh, oh, she does hotel quarantine cleaning.

So she puts her own life at risk. She's like, I'll clean these rooms. No, she doesn't. But she does vacuum, dust and wipe surfaces, but with a twist. What's the twist? She decided that she would open a company called The Naked Cleaning Company, which carries out all the domestic tasks you would like in the UK.

And obviously she is naked. I've heard of these. Well, she says she does a few different things. She says she can do topless and lingerie, and that's $135 an hour. Yeah. Or it's $172 for full Monty. An hour?

An hour. And she cleans. So, yeah, she cleans. That's the main thing she's there to do. I don't know how much a cleaner costs, but those prices sound very good. I mean, she's raking it in. Yeah. She's doing very well.

And she says business is going nuts. Here's the thing about having a cleaner, and this is why we don't have one, because I'd love a cleaner, and I believe in using your money to buy yourself some free time. I think it's a great way to use your money. The issue is I don't want to be there when the cleaner's there. It would be very awkward.

What about if this cleaner was there? So this is the complete opposite. And that's why i think it's booming because everyone's working from home yeah so why would you hire a naked cleaner if you were at work yeah you know there's no point like let's like say you hire yourself a naked you hire yourself a naked cleaner and then as they get there and they've still got their clothes on you're like i'll give you some privacy you leave i know know, yeah. Yeah, it doesn't work. Producer Ben, we have organised something before the show for you, Clint.

Right. I'm just joking. Clint was just getting so excited. Whoa, whoa. You know what I did? I asked Ben, I was like, can you just come in and vacuum in your underwear just to scare Clint? And Ben's like, absolutely not.

Did you refuse? Yeah, there's no way I'm going to do that He goes I don't vacuum I would have paid you You just lost yourself $240 mate
