Starting point is 00:00:00 Z-Dams! Let's go, go, go! Now let me see you dance! Z-Dams, Brie and Clint. Woo! Kia ora, New Zealand. Welcome to the back end of your Monday. How you going?
Starting point is 00:00:12 How are you, mate? I'm good. Good weekend? I had a bit too good of a weekend, if you know what I mean. Yeah? I went out Friday. Yeah? I went out Saturday.
Starting point is 00:00:22 Yeah? And then I backed it up with paintball yesterday, mate. Did you squeeze in a green smoothie in there somewhere? Nah. Just lots of burger fuel. Right. Ah, you'll be all right. That'll keep me going.
Starting point is 00:00:32 What about you, mate? I've just had a historic moment. After 12 years of friendship. Oh, this is big. It's huge. Carl Fletcher, a.k.a. Fletch, from Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, has just followed me on Instagram. How has he not followed you before?
Starting point is 00:00:48 I don't know, but I just got the notification to say Fletch is now following you. So, you know what, I'll take it. Maybe he's just realised that I have Instagram. Maybe he's only just figured, he's like, oh, does Clint do Instagram too? I've known Fletch for seven months and he followed me after two weeks.
Starting point is 00:01:02 Yeah, okay, that hurts a little bit. I just thought I'd let you know. Yeah, okay, that hurts a little bit. I just thought I'd let you know. Yeah, maybe he just hadn't seen me commenting on a picture of his cat. You said that you like his stuff all the time. I follow his cat. Oh, you even follow Karen. My cats follow his cat. What, Ziggy and Bowie follow Karen?
Starting point is 00:01:20 Does Karen follow Ziggy and Bowie? No, I think that'll be next step. I think in 11 and a half years, then Karen will start following Ziggy and Bowie? No, I think that'll be next step. Right. I think in 11 and a half years, then Karen will start following Ziggy and Bowie. Karen's a bit of, he likes to keep to himself as well. Karen's a particular cat. Yeah. That's for sure.
Starting point is 00:01:33 Yeah. Hey, but Ziggy and Bowie are no angels. More cat chat later on the show. Anyway, we're getting very deep into cat chat. I tell you what we do have today. We have a fashion surprise for Brianna Tomasell. It's not a surprise. I know what it is.
Starting point is 00:01:43 It's Crocs and I don't want to wear them. 4.30 today your image gets an overhaul. I use my superior fashion knowledge to transform your whole look from the feet up. Mate, I have to go to a dinner party this week with friends of mine who don't really listen to radio and they don't really, they kind of
Starting point is 00:02:00 know that I'm in radio. I'm going to have to turn up in Crocs. What night is that on? Wednesday. Wednesday. Cool. I'm just making a note turn up in Crocs. What night is that on? Wednesday. Wednesday. Cool. I'm just making a note because obviously- Oh, why would I tell you that? Why? Well, I have different looks available for you for each day.
Starting point is 00:02:10 So, no, no. We'll tailor your look. We'll tailor your look. Don't worry. They're a very versatile shoe, the Crocs. They can go anywhere at any time. Have you got me- They're not just clogs anymore.
Starting point is 00:02:18 Have you got me the clogs? You just wait, okay? 4.30. You'll find out what you're wearing today. I'm so excited. Plus, anytime you hear an Ariana Grande song today, 0800DALZM will put you in the draw to see her live in the United States of America. Up next, though, I want to talk about my day yesterday at Paintball,
Starting point is 00:02:35 which I think I got scammed. Oh, yeah? I think I was involved in a scam. Oh, you think you've been fleeced? Let me give it to you and the people, and you tell me. We'll do that next. This is to celebrate Pink, who has taken over New Zealand at the moment. This is a Pink-Konski mash-up.
Starting point is 00:02:53 Oh, yeah, that's a bit of me. ZM, Bree and Clint, five after four. ZM's Bree and Clint. I was in a world of pain this weekend weekend and it was all self-inflicted. I don't know why I did it to myself. My friend Sarah, really good mate of mine, she organised drinks on the Saturday night, like a little house party drinks kind of event,
Starting point is 00:03:14 and then she organised for her birthday paintball yesterday. I love paintball. Me too. It's fun. Not everyone does. Like our producer Ellie said she hates paintball. Not because she doesn't want to get shot, just because she doesn't enjoy inflicting pain on other people.
Starting point is 00:03:27 She hates everything about it. Yeah, she hates everything about it. Not for her. Yeah. And she organised it. It's so good when you've got a big group of people where you know everyone because it makes it more fun. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:38 Because then you can like, you know. No, no, yeah. It's not something you go and play on a date, just the two of you. No. You need a big group of friends. That's when it's fun. And you've got to pick teams and you've got to get real serious about it. And Sarah was so stupid because it's her birthday.
Starting point is 00:03:50 Everyone just was going for her the whole time. Like it was just like. Like a stag do. Exactly. Like it's her birthday, may as well gang up on Sarah. Yeah. But the thing that kind of caught my attention yesterday, the whole time that I was there, I was like,
Starting point is 00:04:04 this feels like a bit of a scam. like I'm being scammed a little bit. By the paintball people? By the paintball people. Why? So when we all rocked up, there was like 22 of us, 21 I think there was of us, and the girls come over and she was like, oh, guys, you get 100 paintballs to start off, which I mean everyone uses more than 100 paintballs.
Starting point is 00:04:25 Sounds like a lot. You'll go through them very quickly. Very quickly, like probably within 10 minutes. Yeah. Because you're like, ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba. Tin gone. Yeah, you're terrified so you just start pumping paintballs everywhere. Shooting at everything.
Starting point is 00:04:36 Exactly right. So she was like, you know, here are the packages and the deals to get extra paintballs. And I said, cool, I'm someone who when I go to paintball, I don't go often so I like to go hard. So I like to get a lot extra paintballs. And I said, cool, I'm someone who, when I go to paintball, I don't go often, so I like to go hard. So I like to get a lot of paintballs. So I looked at the package. Like everything with you.
Starting point is 00:04:51 Yeah, exactly. I'm not here to lose. Do you have a paintball machine gun? Mate, I had just dirt everywhere. Do you do paintball grenades? I've heard. I've heard somewhere that if you ask correctly, you can get a paintball bazooka.
Starting point is 00:05:03 I even got the gloves. I've got the money, mate. correctly, you can get a paintball bazooka. I haven't got the gloves. I've got... I'll dress head to toe. I've got the money, mate. You show me where the paintballs are. So, okay, so you want to upgrade to how many? So I thought the 1,000 paintballs looked like a good deal. 1,000 paintballs?
Starting point is 00:05:16 So you could get... So on this sheet that she... Who are you, Rambo? Pretty much. On this sheet that she gave us, it was $70 for an extra 500 or you could upgrade to the, I think it was called the Terminator Pack, for 1,000 paintballs was $100. $100?
Starting point is 00:05:32 Yeah. I mean. I mean, you're going to do that. I was there. It's the better deal. It's the better deal, but it's a lot of money for paintballs. So there was 15 of us who all signed up for extra paintballs. Yeah. And there was about of us who all signed up for extra paintballs. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:45 And there was about eight or so that didn't. Anyway, so we've walked over and she goes, oh, she's like, no, they're the prices only if you all sign up. Oh, hang on. And I said, what? She's pulled the old Carney switcheroo on you. I said, why wouldn't, what? I was like, why wouldn't you just tell us that when you came over?
Starting point is 00:06:03 Yeah. And now I've become invested. I've, you know, I've thought about my day with a thousand paintballs. Emotionally purchased a thousand dollars. And now you're taking that away from me. Okay. So you had majority. 15 out of 21 people wanted a thousand paintballs.
Starting point is 00:06:17 That's 1500 bucks worth of paintballs they're about to sell. So that's what we said. We were like, oh, well, don't you want the majority? And she said, oh, she goes, usually majority probably would be about 18 people. And I said, oh. No, lady, majority is anything over half. All right. So how much of just 15 of you wanted the paintballs?
Starting point is 00:06:36 What do you mean? Like how much, what was the price that she was going to sell them? So if it was just, so if I was just to get a thousand paintballs, it was going to cost over $200. And I was like, you can't pull that. This is where paintball people give paintball people a bad name. I don't trust that paintball place. And I don't trust those people who come up to you in a mall,
Starting point is 00:06:59 like you're at Westfield and you're there to buy some undies and they come over and they go, mate, you look like a man who loves paintball. Yes, I do. You've identified me correctly. But I'm not in a paintball buying mood. What am I going to do, buy a package for eight friends and then have to go and find the friends?
Starting point is 00:07:12 Why do they always sell you paintball at the mall? Yeah, I don't get it. I feel like I was being scammed and I was like, oh, well, now, what am I going to do now? Anyway, we ended up cutting a deal on the side where the eight people that were left bought, I don't know, like a group package or whatever. So they ended up spending more money so that we could all get the Terminator packs and the sniper packs that we wanted.
Starting point is 00:07:35 So in the end, as a group, you guys spent a couple of grand on paintballs. Yeah, if not more. I feel like we got done. Yeah. A beauty. You got sucked in big time. And then there was also like other dodgy things where like they were only using a certain colour paintball.
Starting point is 00:07:51 So obviously people can't bring their own paintballs. Like you can't buy them and then bring your own. Anyway, I felt a bit gypped. It's a scam. You reckon? Yeah, that's a scam. Because they get you in there and then they start inflating the prices of the packages.
Starting point is 00:08:05 That's classic scam. I was emotionally invested in the Terminator. It felt like it. Because they get you in there, and then they start inflating the prices of the packages. That's classic scam. I was emotionally invested in the Terminator pack. I wanted it. Yeah, I know. And I feel bad for you. I feel bad for you. But you still bought the paintball. Did you get hit?
Starting point is 00:08:14 Yeah. Where? Well, it was so close. One of the paintballs was so close to my lady business. Downstairs lady business? It was inches. I also got hit in the elbow, which hurt a lot too. Not as
Starting point is 00:08:27 exciting. Maybe we can make a list this afternoon. 0800 dial ZM. Like, not all paintball. Not all paintball. And I'm not saying this place was definitely a scam. Some places are reputable. No, I am. Oh, you are? It felt like it. And some places are really good, but other places
Starting point is 00:08:43 0800 dialZM. Other than paintball, what do you reckon's a scam? When have you been scammed? Yeah, when have you been suckered in? When have you had the old carny switcheroo pulled on you at the last minute? They've got you there, you're in a group, and all of a sudden, boom, they hit you with the real prices. Let's do community service announcements.
Starting point is 00:09:00 What's a scam? Oh, 800-DAL-ZM. ZM's Brinkland. We were just talking about my day yesterday. I went to paintball and it was a great day out. Went for my friend Sarah's birthday. There was about 20 of us and I feel like I got scammed a little bit. Like the girl came over to our group and she's like,
Starting point is 00:09:17 oh, here are the prices for all the extra paintball packs you can get. These are all the deals and we all kind of picked the ones we wanted and then there was eight people who didn't want anything and she said, oh, those prices are only if all of you sign up.
Starting point is 00:09:30 All of you do it. Yeah. Didn't she put in a phone call too? She's like, I'll have to ring the manager. Yes. I'll have to call up. Yes.
Starting point is 00:09:35 Let me see what I can do for you guys. We have someone on the phone who knows. Now, Nathan, you have paintball inside knowledge.
Starting point is 00:09:42 Do you believe Brie has been scammed? Nathan. No, we don you have paintball inside knowledge. Do you believe Bree has been scammed? Nathan. No, we don't have Nathan. Okay, that's fine. Cool. See you, Nathan. Toby, got any inside running on the paintball community, mate?
Starting point is 00:09:56 I do. I do. Yeah, Bree, you got duped. Oh, God damn it. I knew it. Damn it, Toby. Their business model is designed around people doing exactly what you did, right? So the painful fields have another company which doesn't turn a profit at all.
Starting point is 00:10:12 I won't name names, but basically this company has the individuals that go to the malls, like Clint said, and try and sell the tickets. And they're on 100% commission. So every ticket they sell, who bought the tickets? Sarah? Yeah, she bought the tickets. So basically she paid for that girl's or guy's lunch or dinner for that day because potentially I didn't make any money or sell any tickets the week before.
Starting point is 00:10:34 But their job is to sell the tickets to get you to the field because as soon as you get to the field, they make all their money from the paintballs they sell at the field. Are you telling us that the whole paintball industry is a pyramid scheme built on top of one another and the whole thing is loosely held together? Is that what you're saying to us? Yeah, well, I mean, if no one buys the tickets
Starting point is 00:10:55 that those guys are selling at the ball, then they won't have the people turn up to the field and buy the paintballs and so we'll collapse. How much does a paintball cost? How much in real life does a paintball cost to make? Yes, I don't work in the industry myself. We should look into that. So you're saying, Toby, I'm an idiot and I pay too much. Well, I mean, you had fun, right? Yeah, I had a good time. Yeah, that was worth it. You can put a price
Starting point is 00:11:20 on it. $200 for $300, $200 for a thousand paintballs. I didn't pay the $200. And the price for all the plasters and medical equipment you're using to... Yeah, there's a few things that I...
Starting point is 00:11:31 Did they charge you for that helmet hire and for overall hire? No. No? That was in the price, the booking price, yeah. All right.
Starting point is 00:11:38 Okay. Hey, Toby, thank you for helping us uncover the scam this afternoon. No problem. Appreciate that. Zinni is Brie and Clint.
Starting point is 00:11:44 It is time, Bree. I feel a stitch-up coming on. For a fashion revolution. And it's all based around the humble croc. I'm too sexy for my crocs. Too sexy for my crocs. Crocs on my feet. So last week, being New Zealand Fashion Week,
Starting point is 00:12:03 I got to attend a very high-profile show where I got the scoop. Crocs are in. I knew revenge would come back to haunt me. No, no, this is not revenge. This is not even a punishment. I have to wear Crocs for a week. This is a privilege, okay? I've organised the Crocs.
Starting point is 00:12:18 I've got them. You don't even have to pay for them. I know this, okay? I know this in my heart because I've been doing research. Crocs are in. Kylie Jenner is wearing them. Post Malone is wearing them. I know this, okay? I know this in my heart because I've been doing research. Crocs are in. Kylie Jenner is wearing them. Post Malone is wearing them. They're getting paid to wear the, well, yeah, well.
Starting point is 00:12:37 Mate, Crocs will never be in unless you're a 75-year-old man that's going out to the clothesline to put the washing on. I said to you, give me the week and I will change your mind, okay? The people who voted, 75% of people want you in Cro me the week and I will change your mind, okay? The people who have voted, 75% of people want you in Crocs this week. So every day, Monday through Friday, I have a different pair for you that you will wear, okay? You will wear these Crocs. Promise me? Mate,
Starting point is 00:12:56 yes, the people said that that's what they want and I promise is a promise. I'm not going to like it though. Producer Ben, please bring in Monday's pair of Crocs. Here we go. Okay, now these, I went and picked these up on the weekend. Specially chosen just for you.
Starting point is 00:13:11 Why are they wrapped? That makes me really nervous. Why are they wrapped? Because all gifts come in wrapping paper. Okay, there's a, do I open this card? Yes, open the card first, please. I feel like this is one of those times, you know, where you get given a gift and you have to pretend like you like it
Starting point is 00:13:25 and you grit your teeth and you're like, thanks. No, no, you don't have to pretend, but I think you will like it. Crocs, pair number one. These babies are hot. If these are the flame Crocs, I'm going to hate you forever. And practical, so why not enjoy the comfort of your Crocs while you feel the burn? 1 p.m. tomorrow, Crocs gym session.
Starting point is 00:13:46 You and I are going to Les Mills tomorrow. No, I'm not going to the gym in those. You are. You have to experience the true practicality of this show. Open them up. What? I'm going to have to do a workout in these? Yes, because you can.
Starting point is 00:13:57 Because you can. Oh, my God. I hate all of you. These are the one pair that I said not to get. You're only wearing them for 24 hours and I like them. In fact, can you bring in the other package, please? Can you bring in the other package? This is my worst nightmare.
Starting point is 00:14:18 Describe what you see. Oh, my God. Are these matching ones you're going to wear? Yes, because I'm in this with you, okay? Oh, my God. Are these matching ones you're going to wear? Yes, because I'm in this with you, okay? Oh, my God. We have a pair each. They look so much worse when they're in a bigger size. We have a pair each.
Starting point is 00:14:31 So what we're going to do. Can I just explain to the people what I'm holding? Yeah, please do. It is a clog crock. Yeah. No, no, I prefer classic crock. It is the classic crock, the ones that don't have the holes in the top. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:44 And they have flames all over them. Yeah, they're a spicy meatball. They're comfortable, okay? I tried them on already. You have no idea how comfortable these are. I'm not saying they're not comfortable. I'm just saying they're horrific. I also got you the special grip ones, so they're going to be good for our workout.
Starting point is 00:15:01 We're going to go and do a body pump class. Oh, my God. My two most hated things, Crocs and the gym. No, no. Trust me. Just trust me, okay? You're going to be converted by the end of the week. I'm going to try one on.
Starting point is 00:15:16 Yeah. Just to see what they're like. Yeah, I want to see if I've got the size right, actually. Because you're a woman's 10, is that correct? Yeah, quite a big. Because that's going to matter. Yeah, well. Do I leave my sock on?
Starting point is 00:15:25 That's completely up to you. It makes it worse if I leave the sock on. She's sliding straight in. Foot in there. Are you going with the heel band on or off? It's up to you. The heel... You'll need it on for the gym, though.
Starting point is 00:15:41 Oh, my God. I can't even look at myself. How does it feel? Stop getting videos of this. They're very comfy. There you go. There you go. I already feel my foot sweating.
Starting point is 00:15:52 The comfort bit was never in dispute. It's the fashion bit that you need to get across the line. So we'll both put on our Crocs now. We'll get it up to our Instagram. Oh my God, I actually, like every time I look at myself, I'm shocked that I have that on my foot. If you'd like to see them, Brie and Clint on Instagram. We'll get it to Facebook now as well.
Starting point is 00:16:12 You can see the Monday pair. Just 24 hours. You'll have a fresh pair tomorrow after the gym. You'll need them actually because you're going to get quite sweaty. You could have got a grey pair. You just could have got a plain old grey pair. You don't know what I've got for the rest of the week, okay? That's what worries me.
Starting point is 00:16:26 Thanks, mate. You're welcome. One week in Crocs. Thanks, Crocs. Really appreciate it. Bree and Clint. Hey, thank you, Crocs, as well. Thanks, Crocs.
Starting point is 00:16:32 Thank you. We love Crocs here at the show. They had so many different kinds. I had no idea. I can't wait to see. You'll find out, though. It's going to be a great week. Zinni is Bree and Clint.
Starting point is 00:16:42 I need to tell you about this show that's being promoted on Facebook. Oh yeah. Oh my God. I'm so excited. You know, there's those shows when you watch the trailer for something and you're automatically hooked. Yes. I've finally, it's been years since the trailer has done that for me, but finally a show has hooked me in. So essentially, there's this trailer for a show that's on Facebook at the moment. It's going to be aired on September 24th on the NBC. Oh, in the States. Have you heard of a show called The Manifest? Manifest or Minifest?
Starting point is 00:17:18 Manifest? What? Doesn't matter. Anyway, it's a show. Let me give you the background and then we'll play a bit of the trailer and I want to see if you're hooked. Yeah, okay. So essentially, it's a show. Let me give you the background and then we'll play a bit of the trailer and I want to see if you're hooked. Yeah, okay. So essentially it's this show.
Starting point is 00:17:28 It kicks off at an airport. There's a mum, dad, a brother and a sister and then the brothers married with two kids. Got you. Essentially they're all flying back from a family holiday and then the lady at the airline comes over the speaker and she says, we've overbooked this flight. For anyone who wants to jump on the later flight, we'll give you a $400 travel voucher.
Starting point is 00:17:50 I've had that before. Great. So good. So good. We got cash. Oh, that's awesome. $1,100 US. That's amazing.
Starting point is 00:17:57 It was awesome. So you definitely do it. I know what you're talking about. Yeah. So in the show, in this trailer, the sister and the brother and one of the brother's kids says that they're going to do it. So the kid actually has leukemia and he's going through treatment at the time. So they all get on the plane. They're on this plane and they go through this really horrific piece of turbulence. And there's bags coming out of the roof and it's going nuts. And the lights
Starting point is 00:18:23 all turn off and then the lights all come back on and the plane stabilises. Yeah. What happens next just absolutely blew my mind, hooked me in. I'm tuning in. They land, right? And then the police are there. There's ambulances.
Starting point is 00:18:39 There's police. They're all confused. No one knows what's going on. And the main character says this. The problem, ladies and gentlemen, is your plane departed Montego Bay, Jamaica on April 7, 2013. Today is November 4, 2018. You've all been missing, presumed dead, for five and a half years. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:19:05 Oh, my God. Oh, my God. What? Like, what? Yeah. So for them, for the people on the plane, no time has passed. It's still the same day. Yeah. But for everyone that was on the ground, five and a half years have passed.
Starting point is 00:19:18 Do you think they're basing it off like the MH370 type thing? Yes, kind of. The whole conspiracy that this plane has just disappeared and it's going to reappear sometime? Yeah, because there's the conspiracy that the plane has landed somewhere and everyone's still alive. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Anyway, I've grabbed one more little piece of what happens next. We interviewed every last one of them.
Starting point is 00:19:37 Nothing. And still haven't come across a single substance dating from any time between the day the flight took off and when it returned. It's as if the plane never left the sky. Director, no one on that plane aged a day. I think we've taken impossible off the table. Oh, my God. So the brother who's got the one son with him, he was a twin with another girl.
Starting point is 00:19:59 Yeah. And in the scene, the twins meet. She's like 16. Yeah. He's still 11. Oh, my God. What is the name of. She's like 16. Yeah. He's still 11. Oh, my God. What is the name of this show? The Manifest.
Starting point is 00:20:09 Yes. Producer Ben reckons he knows a theory. He's got a theory to it. Yeah. What do you think, Ben? This is about this movie. Yeah. TV show.
Starting point is 00:20:20 I reckon it's a government or some kind of overseas company doing tests on the human body, like a medication. They've put 190 people in a hangar in a something. I reckon it's a government or some kind of overseas company doing tests on the human body, like a medication. They've put 190 people in a hangar in a something. Landed them. Landed them, tested them all. Knocked them out. Tested them all for five years, and it's worked.
Starting point is 00:20:37 And then they've put them back in a plane, and they've just clicked back in. When does this show come out? September 24th. If you're not hooked, I don't know what else can hook someone in. I don't know what you're looking for. I'm ready. I'm in. Zinian's Bree and Clint. It's my birthday.

Starting point is 00:24:01 All together. That's a birthday banger from the year 1997 which makes that song sit down 21 years old god we're old so the show who wants to be a millionaire is getting a bit of attention over in turkey at the moment uh because of this woman who has gotten a question which many people are saying is the easiest question ever. But some people are saying, oh, it was a trick question. And then she struggled a lot on this one question.
Starting point is 00:24:37 She ended up using her lifeline phone a friend. She also asked the audience. And now because she got, she actually ended up getting it right, but she used all of her lifelines. Yeah. And people are saying, oh, like as if you're going to use your lifelines on that easy question. Nah, if you're not sure, use your lifelines.
Starting point is 00:24:54 Yeah. Because if you get it wrong, you're gone. Exactly right. That's the thing I get most frustrated about. My uncle was on this show once. Was he? Yeah, yeah. He was on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, the Australian one with Eddie Maguire.
Starting point is 00:25:04 How much did he win? Nah, he didn't make it to the chair because you know how everyone sits around the outside. That's the new version. Yeah. Well, you've never seen a family more tense. So he told my mum before he went on that she was his phone friend.
Starting point is 00:25:16 Oh, no. And so the whole family was sitting around the landline. We had to call all our friends and say, do not call us between the hours of whatever it was because we're expecting a call from who wants to be a millionaire. And it's not live on TV. Like it's a pre-recorded thing. We just sat by the phone hoping no one else rung.
Starting point is 00:25:33 Next minute Clint's on dial-up internet. I want to get on MSN. Mom. Anyway, she's getting media attention because people are saying, you know, come on, as if you're not going to get that question right. I thought this afternoon, because you haven't seen it, right? No, I haven't seen this question. I thought I could ask you the question.
Starting point is 00:25:51 Wait, is it in Turkish? No. Oh, okay, good. I've changed it into English. Good. And we'll see just how hard the question was. Yeah, I'm keen for that. All right, so let's play Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?
Starting point is 00:26:03 Clinton Roberts. Yes. The question is... Wait, how much money Be a Millionaire? Clinton Roberts. Yes. The question is... Wait, how much money am I playing for? Not much. Like three grand. Oh. Still.
Starting point is 00:26:12 It's one of the lower questions. Yeah, okay, cool. Where is the Great Wall of China? Is it A, China, B, South Korea, C, India, or D, Japan? Okay, this seems incredibly obvious. We are on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire. And that's what they do, right? They give you one that seems obvious to make you second guess.
Starting point is 00:26:41 I see where she's tripped up here. I see where she's tripped up here i see where she's tripped up i like how i'm just staring at you like eddie mcguire or the host would i know the answer i i think i know the answer do you though are you positive do you want to phone a friend can i phone a friend because we've organized in case this happened yeah i've got a really good friend it's my dad and he loves these shows. He loves anything they put on Prime before the news, like this. What's the suitcase one?
Starting point is 00:27:11 Oh, I love that. Deal or no deal. Deal or no deal. All right, let's put a phone a friend into your dad right now, and you will get to ask him the question. You've got 30 seconds. Okay. I will time you. I'm going to tell him it's real, okay?
Starting point is 00:27:24 Yeah, tell him it's real. Tell him you're actually on it. Come on, Dad. Come on, Dad. Probably around the landline. Oh, come on, Dad. Come on, come on. It's live radio.
Starting point is 00:27:41 Hello? Dad? Yeah? It's Clint. Yeah. I'm on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire. I need your help, okay? Yeah. It's Clint. Yeah. I'm on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire. I need your help, okay? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:50 Okay, I'm going to ask you a question, and I need your answer as soon as you can. I've only got 30 seconds. Here it is. The question is, where is the Great Wall of China? Is it A, China, B, South Korea, C, India, or D, Japan? Oh, no, China. China, how confident are you?
Starting point is 00:28:10 50%. 50%? Okay, all right. Okay, hey, thanks. I've got to go, okay? I've got to go. 30 seconds over. Okay.
Starting point is 00:28:20 50%. He's only 50% sure. I should have asked him what the other 50% was. Oh, I don't know now. I'm going to do it. I'm going to lock in. What are you going to lock in for? Let's say it's a million dollar question.
Starting point is 00:28:35 Oh, don't do it. It's the million dollar question. It's still the same. Where is the Great Wall of China? A, China. B, South Korea. C, India. Or D, Japan.
Starting point is 00:28:45 I'd like to... Your dad said he was only 50% sure. Yeah, but he's only 50% sure about anything. Just think about it for a second. Clinton Roberts, what are you going to lock in for a million dollars? I would like to lock in A, China. Clinton Roberts, for a million dollars. He's done it! It's correct!
Starting point is 00:29:12 He's won a million dollars. Of course I've won a million dollars. Where else is the Great Wall of China going to be? Did she get that right? Yeah, just. She got the next question wrong, though. You can stay. You did well, mate.
Starting point is 00:29:30 It says China in the title. I'm still concerned that your dad was only 50% sure. Yeah, well. Hey, how about the story that's coming out of Australia today about the guy who's just found out that he has 11 children that he didn't even know about. Yeah. So I read the title of this, but I don't really know the details. So the man's name is Ken Allen and he is from South Australia. And you might go,
Starting point is 00:29:57 who is this player who's been loving his way around the outback for the last 25 years? No, he's a good man. He's a retired South Australian school principal. Does he have a family? He has a family. He's married. He's got four kids of his own. Okay. One of his kids is adopted.
Starting point is 00:30:16 So they adopted a kid themselves. But he asked his wife in the 80s if he could be a sperm donor. She was a nurse and she worked in a hospital and sort of dealt with couples who had fertility issues and they both kind of understood the need for... Donating. Yeah, donating the baby-making stuff from the man.
Starting point is 00:30:35 Yeah. So over a period of time, he's made... I'm just trying to figure out how many donations he must have made because when you take one... Do you get paid still for that? I think you get a nominal amount in New Zealand but they can't pay you
Starting point is 00:30:47 a lot right because otherwise it becomes a business because you know how you always see in the movies like people
Starting point is 00:30:52 get paid for it if they're down on their luck they'll go donate so they can get some money you know that's always a plot line
Starting point is 00:30:58 it's rough because otherwise you'd have all these Kiwis on Monday after a big weekend when they spent too much money in town just nipping off at lunchtime.
Starting point is 00:31:06 Coming back looking very relaxed with a fistful of crisp 20s. Yep, from the clinic. So I don't know whether he got paid or not for it. He is saying he did it out of the goodness of his heart because he knew it was a thing that had to be done. You're not supposed to find out who donated. It's meant to be kept private.
Starting point is 00:31:23 I think there's a form though that you can sign whether you want to be found or if you don't want to be found. So there's a two page, when he did it, there's a two page document where you list details about yourself. Okay. And those details are things like ethnicity, age, hair colour, eye colour. Hereditary stuff? All those sort of things that are identifiable, I guess.
Starting point is 00:31:44 So I don't know, could you pick them for your baby? You could go, I want a tall ginger man. I guess you can do that. Something like that. Yeah. This is where it gets really good. He put a secret detail on the forms when he was filling it out. And you're allowed to go and access the form.
Starting point is 00:31:58 As a baby who was made from that stuff, eventually when you're of a certain age, you can go and access it. What was the secret detail? He wrote on the form. What? Man cannot discover oceans unless he has the courage to lose sight of the shore. If you can find me,
Starting point is 00:32:13 come and find me. What is this riddle? But then how did the people find him? Someone found him. One of the girls found him. And obviously they'd all be connected. Yeah, and then they've gone through the IVF clinic so that
Starting point is 00:32:26 they do it officially because I think the IVF clinic makes contact and goes, hey, one of your children essentially would like to make contact. Would you like to? And he's gone, yeah, well, of course. Then they've gone back through the details, had a look at all the successful ones. 11 extra children. He must be one virile man.
Starting point is 00:32:41 He must have a lot of good traits too. He must have like all the things that He must be. He must have a lot of good traits too. He must have like all the things that people are wanting. They're doing a 60 Minutes documentary on him because he's going around and reuniting with every one of the kids. So that takes him up to 15 kids. Wait, so there's 15 kids? 11 through donation, three that he's fathered himself
Starting point is 00:32:59 and one that he's adopted. Imagine Christmas at his house. God, imagine the uni fees. Imagine all of it. Lucky he's got them all when they've stopped growing so he doesn't have to buy them clothes or anything like that. I wonder if we can take calls this afternoon and this is going to be a real long shot.
Starting point is 00:33:13 This is needle in a haystack stuff. Yeah, if we don't get it, we don't get it. That's okay. But I wonder if, and I think it's only going to be a man. Surely it can only be a man. Yeah, hang on. It can only be a man. Can it? Did you have a kid that you didn't know about? And found out about later on? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:29 Did you find out that you had a secret kid or similar circumstances to this? Or maybe you had one night of passion in Mykonos one time and then you sailed off on your yacht to live the rest of your life and then 30 years later you're standing on your porch in Christchurch and then someone shows up and you've got a half Greek son. And they look kind of like you, but with real olive skin. Yeah. 0800 dial ZM.
Starting point is 00:33:53 Needle in a haystack. Or you can text us on 9696. Did you have a kid that you didn't know about? Let's see what we get. ZM's brilliant clip. Talking about this story that's come out of Australia today. Guy's just found out he's got 11 kids he didn't know about. He's a sperm donor. They're all adults now and they've all found him. He's good about it. Yeah, they're doing a documentary with 60 Minutes and he's going to meet them all and see what kind of life they've had.
Starting point is 00:34:20 11 extra kids. I mean, pretty amazing because you were telling the story that him and his wife back in the 80s, she was a nurse and she kind of saw, you know, the sadness that it brought to people that couldn't have kids naturally. They wanted to help. They wanted to help. It's actually a nice story. Someone texted to clarify and said you don't get paid
Starting point is 00:34:36 for making a donation of that kind as a man in New Zealand. Which I wonder if you still get paid anywhere. Yeah, I wonder. I think maybe some places we're asking and this is real sort of, we're calling it needle in a haystack type stuff. See if we get anything Has it happened to you? Did you
Starting point is 00:34:53 have a kid that you didn't know about? Someone's texted and said my old man was a serious player back in his day and recently photos have started showing up thanks to Facebook and some of the young girls look almost identical to what I did when I was that age. Lol, does that count?
Starting point is 00:35:12 They could be someone else's. We have Wesley. Let's go Wesley. Hi, Wesley. Hi, how are you? Good, how are you? Has this happened to you? Good, don't complain really.
Starting point is 00:35:33 I was dating a very awesome lady about roughly, I'd say about 10, 11 years ago. We were together for about a year and then we decided to break up because of differences. But when we broke up, she was already pregnant and I didn't know. So I left South Africa to come to New Zealand, and then a year later, when I came back, I was living here a year already, she got hold of me on Facebook, and she basically told me that I have a five-year-old daughter that I didn't know about. Oh, that's rough. What?
Starting point is 00:35:59 So she had your contact details the whole time, but... Yes, yes, she contacted me. Well, she actually managed to get over my Facebook, and then we tried to cultivate a relationship over a period of nine years, and it just didn't work out. Yeah. So have you met your daughter, Wesley? My daughter, yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:15 Have you met her? Yes, yes, I have. Yeah, good. Okay, well, that's a start. Oh, that's crazy. David. Hi, David. How you going, guys?
Starting point is 00:36:23 Good, thanks. Sad story like that one, or just a bit different? I was in the army about 25 years ago, and apparently I had a daughter over in Singapore while I was over there. What? And I didn't know about it. Yeah. And she contacted me last year.
Starting point is 00:36:43 No way. So how old is she, David? She is 22. How does that make you feel when you find out you've got a fully grown kid and you're a father? Was that your first kid? No.
Starting point is 00:36:54 You've got other kids. Yeah. How did it make you feel? Actually, you know, a bit peeved off, I suppose, but also a bit relieved that she actually, you know, found the time to contact me. To find you. Because you could have went your whole life, David, without even knowing that you've had a daughter. Well, yeah, that's the thing.
Starting point is 00:37:14 It could have happened like that. I could have gone my whole life. Hang on, hang on, David. Whose fault is it here? When you left Singapore as a soldier, did you leave her mum any contact details? I imagine 22 years ago you didn't have a cell phone. Did you give her an address or anything like that? Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:31 She had all my details where I lived in New Zealand and everything. Yeah. Oh, wow. So have you met up with her? Have you met her? We used to write backwards and forwards, but she never mentioned that she had a daughter at all. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:37:46 That's kind of a big thing to leave out of a letter, David. Okay, Christine, you were the secret kid. Is that right? Yeah, it was. What happened, Christine? Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, Christine.
Starting point is 00:38:02 Are you there? Oh. One more. Melanie, hello. Hello, Christine. Are you there? Oh. One more. Melanie. Hello. Hello, Melanie. Were you the secret kid? Well, I wasn't secret per se, but I was a donor kid.
Starting point is 00:38:14 And we've only just found out about each other six months ago. There's 11 of us. Right. So you were. Wow. There were 11 of you guys as well. Yes. So you have a dad who was a donor.
Starting point is 00:38:24 Is it hard to get in contact with them? Like, do you have to jump through all kinds of legal hoops? Do they want to see you? What's the deal with that? Not legal per se. I mean, the clinic isn't allowed to tell you anything exactly, but they passed on letters. So I wrote a letter to the donor and got in contact with him.
Starting point is 00:38:42 And then it was through that that I thought, I wonder if there's any others. And they're like, yep, there's 11 in total. Do you want to get in contact with them. And then it was through that that I thought, I wonder if there's any others. And they're like, yep, there's 11 in total. Do you want to get in contact with them? I'm like, yeah. Oh, my God. Imagine having 11 brothers and sisters you've never met. Is that how you feel about it?
Starting point is 00:38:54 You've got 11 extra brothers and sisters? Why is it? Well, we've all met up except for one set of twins we can't get in contact with just yet. But the rest of us, we just feel like best friends. Like, we met up once, and it was like, oh, my God, like, I've known you my whole life. And do you, Christine, do you look, Melanie, sorry,
Starting point is 00:39:13 do you look like any of them? What's that? Do you guys look alike? Like, do you look the same? There's some sort of similarities. Like, we're all very tall, and I used to feel myself as quite a tall person and I'm one of the shortest out of the group.
Starting point is 00:39:29 Growing up, did you know you were a donor baby? Yes, but I had no clue about how many donor kids there were. Yeah, right. So finding out there's 11 was a bit of a surprise. Your dad is a fertile stallion. And a basketball player by the sounds. A scientist actually, so not really. He's a fertile stallion. And a basketball player by the sounds. A scientist, actually, so not really. He's a scientist.
Starting point is 00:39:48 Wow. Okay, hey, Melanie. Thanks so much for sharing your story. Yeah, thank you for calling and telling us about it. No problem. I don't know where you get to see this documentary, but it's on 60 Minutes in Australia, so we'll get to see something about it.
Starting point is 00:39:58 The guy who's just found out he's got 11 kids. Fascinating. Zeddy's brain clad. Oh, no. Anytime we have my mother on the show, I get nervous. Do you? Yeah, because I don't know what's going to happen. Because she's a loose cannon.
Starting point is 00:40:11 She's a loose cannon. She marches to the beat of her own drum. She can't be tamed. Recently, I've come up with a game where we can give some stuff away using my mother. Yeah. Do you remember the song Justin Bieber, Love Yourself? Maybe you should know that my mama don't like you and she likes everyone.
Starting point is 00:40:30 How could I forget? It's burnt into my memory. Particularly that lyric, my mama don't like you and she likes everyone. Got you. That's my mother to a T. She loves everyone. She sees the good in everyone.
Starting point is 00:40:43 Yeah. So that's why we've come up with this game. My mama don't like you and she likes everyone. She sees the good in everyone. Yeah. So that's why we've come up with this game. Essentially, Clint, this afternoon, we're going to have two people go head to head. My mum is going to talk to both and then she is going to be forced to tell one of them she doesn't like them. Sounds mean, but there's a twist.
Starting point is 00:41:02 The person she doesn't like this afternoon will win the $70 fuel voucher. Oh, so the loser gets the prize. Exactly right. But they have to be told by Mama Di. And she's going to struggle. She joins us right now. Hello, Mama Di.

Starting point is 00:41:31 Everyone's got good points. Well, are you ready to tell one unsuspecting Zidium listener that you don't like them? Oh, I don't know if I can do this. Mum. I think there should be two prizes. No, there's not two prizes. The name of the game is Bree's Mama Don't Like You
Starting point is 00:41:47 and she likes everyone, all right? This is what you signed up for when you had me. Are you... Are you ready to meet the first person, Mama Di? Yes, I am. Okay. Welcome to the Bree and Clint, Mama Di? Yes, I am. Okay. Welcome to the Bree and Clint show, Sophie. Hello, Sophie.
Starting point is 00:42:09 Hi. All right, Mama Di, when you're ready, ask Sophie a question so you can determine who you don't like this afternoon. Oh, okay. All right, the big question is, which Hemsworth man, Chris or Liam? Ooh, good question. Saucy. I like Chris.
Starting point is 00:42:32 Mum, don't give anything away. She likes Chris. She's a fan of Thor. Okay. Excellent, Sophie, hang there. I think everyone's a fan. Next. Particularly you, Mum.
Starting point is 00:42:44 Danica, hello. Hey, how are you? Are you ready for this? We're Next. Particularly you, Mum. Danica. Hello. Hey, how are you? Are you ready for this? We're about to link you up with Bree's mum. She's got a question for you. All right. Yes. All right, Mum.
Starting point is 00:42:52 When you ready? Okay. Is it the same question? Yes. Which Hemsworth boy? Chris or Liam? I would say Liam. I would say Liam.
Starting point is 00:43:01 Yep. Oh, we've got to split. Mum and Di, you know there's a third Hemsworth brother that you're ignoring, eh? Yeah, I know, but he's shorter than the other two. I thought you saw the good in everybody. She likes them tall. The good actor. Danica, did we get your answer?
Starting point is 00:43:17 Were you a Liam or a Chris? I'm a Liam, yep. Good. So Danica, Mum is a Liam, and then we have got Sophie, who is a Chris. Can we get them all at once? Do I really have to pick? Now, this is the hard part, where you have to tell...
Starting point is 00:43:34 Brianna, they both sound absolutely lovely. I think they should split the money. No, we can't split the money. We literally can't. It's one voucher. Mum, you know the name of the game is Bree's Mama Don't Like You. So you've got Sophie who likes
Starting point is 00:43:49 Chris and you've got Danica who likes Liam. We need you to say either Sophie or Danica. I don't like you. Alright then. I'm sorry. I can't believe you're about to do this. I know. But what can I can't believe you're about to do this.
Starting point is 00:44:05 I know. But what can I do, Brianna? You put me on the spot as usual. That is horrible, Mum. Oh, Brianna. Okay, you need to either say, Sophie, I don't like you, or Danica, I don't like you. Oh, no, I'm not going to say that. I'll just say which one.
Starting point is 00:44:23 No, you have to. Here's the thing, Mama Di. Whoever you say it to gets the voucher. You've got to remember that. But they have to hear the words come from you. Which is a horrible thing to say to someone. I mean, it's terrible. Well, to be absolutely honest, I really have to say sorry to Sophie.
Starting point is 00:44:50 So, Mum, you know the rules. Oh, Sophie, I don't like your answer. No, no. Oh, Sophie, I don't like you. Oh! No! Sophie, you got the $70 fuel voucher. Great.
Starting point is 00:45:15 Oh, your mum sounds so innocent. Yeah, but listen to how defeated Sophie sounds, Mama Di. Oh, I know. Sophie, don't let my mum fool you. She's said some real, real things she could say about the Hemsworth brothers that you would not even believe came out of her mouth. Let's not even get her started on Danica, who's going away empty-handed. Oh, this is horrific.
Starting point is 00:45:40 Yeah, but Danica, mum-a-die likes you. Well, I'm okay with that. I'm quite happy about that. Everyone wins. Everybody's a winner. Sophie, we've got a Civi Dilla mobile fuel voucher coming your way. Danica, you have a great evening. And Mama Di, thanks for that.
Starting point is 00:45:53 Thanks, Mum. I love you guys. Love you, Mum. Bye. Brinkland City. That was so awkward. Zee's Brinkland. So I was texting with my friend the other day,
Starting point is 00:46:02 and she's just moved into this new flat with one other girl. So it's her and one other person and the girl has a cat called Mo. I am. So you need to keep that in mind when listening to the text message conversation that she sent me. Cool. So she thinks that her new flatmate is being a bit passive aggressive. Right.
Starting point is 00:46:22 So my mate gets up early to go to the gym. So she usually gets up at about five, makes a bit of breakfast and then leaves for the gym. So impressed by those people. I know so much motivation, self-determination. So that's what you need to know for the context of this text message. So this is between my friend and her flatmate. So her flatmate messages her and says, Hey, I meant to ask you, were you in the kitchen at like 5am? My friend writes back, Yeah, I was. Why is that? She writes, Oh, woke me up. I thought it was Mo mucking around but was too tired to get up.
Starting point is 00:47:05 You want to know if that Ooh. Mmm. Ooh. Mmm. You want to know if that's passive aggressive? Yeah. That's the definition of passive aggressive. That's like passive aggressive billboard right there, isn't it? Because what she's done is she's made an aggressive accusation. She's within that message gone, you being in the kitchen annoys me,
Starting point is 00:47:19 but she's put it through with the deflection of the cat. There are two victims here. The cat? The cat and the flatmate. And the lady who got woken up by eggs at 5am. I know, but it's like, I mean, I get the frustration because obviously no one wants to be woken up at 5am unless you have to be up.
Starting point is 00:47:38 No. But then it's also like, what does my friend do who likes to go to the gym that early? Does she have to literally not use the kitchen and tiptoe around? Depends what she's doing. Like, is she in there, like, cooking up a stir fry where she's beating on the wok? So my mate.
Starting point is 00:47:53 Is she a microwave egg person? No. Because the beep of the microwave at five in the morning can get stuffed. Yeah, that's annoying. I asked her. I said, what were you doing? So she was cooking oats on the stove. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:48:06 And she said that they've had words before. Yeah. So she's always trying to be really quiet. Yeah. But that's definitely passive aggressive. No, if the question is, is that passive aggressive? 100%. 100%.
Starting point is 00:48:21 Could have just deflected it to the cat, though, and really gone, nah, it must have been the cat. Like, she's given you an easy out. She said, hey, was that you or the cat making oats this morning? Yeah, I told. She's given you to just go, yeah, it was the cat. I told Mo to shut up, but he just did not care. She goes, while I've got you,
Starting point is 00:48:37 can you please tell your stupid cat to stop eating my oats? He's eaten three bowls this week. Yeah, yeah. This isn't passive aggressive. I'm coming direct to you. I mean, it made me wonder. Obviously, everyone goes through these kind of things with your flatmate. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:48:53 These petty kind of fights where... Some of them are real petty too. Some of them are tiny. Producer Ellie actually said she went through something similar. What happened at your flat, Ellie? Oh, you know the toilet paper roll? It's always a bone of contention in any flat. Like when you change it, like when should you change it?
Starting point is 00:49:10 Anyway, my flatmate. Well, yeah, but it's always like, do you leave two squares, five squares? No, not two squares. Agreed. So my flatmate obviously thought, and he was no saint either, that we weren't changing it at the right time. So all five of us got individual Snapchats of him pulling it off the thing, walking over to the bin
Starting point is 00:49:29 and just dropping it in. And that's all it said. Oh, that's passive aggressive in a Snapchat. What a cool dude. Yeah, I bet he had lots of stuff going on in his life. But at the same time, God, people are annoying. Just change the toilet roll. I know, right?
Starting point is 00:49:42 No, you too, Ellie. Change the toilet roll. I did. You know what you do to a guy like that if he sends you that Snapchat? You send him a Snapchat of the recycling bin and you go, ah, cardboard goes in the recycling bin, not the rubbish. I love how our brains are so different because I was like, I'd just leave it in the toilet.
Starting point is 00:49:58 A log. They really want to have something. What? If you really want to have something to fight about, I'll give you something to fight about. Brie's like, I'll just wipe my bum on his pillow because he took all the toilet paper away. But you took it too far.
Starting point is 00:50:12 I was saving those two squares to wipe my bum with. You took it too far. Now I have to use your work clothes. Well, what was I going to use? What was I supposed to use? I needed to use your pillowcase. You threw out the squares that I was keeping from my... Anyway. I wonder if we can ask
Starting point is 00:50:28 this afternoon. What was the most petty fight you've had with a flatmate? Yeah, what tore the flat apart? What was the tipping point that really blew the place wide open? 0800 dials at M or text us on 9696 and we can all be angry together.
Starting point is 00:50:43 Zee's brain clad. I was talking about a friend of mine who messaged me a conversation between her and her new flatmate about whether or not it was passive aggressive or is that your flatmate? No, sorry. It's my brother. Oh. He knows where you are.
Starting point is 00:50:58 Same as you. Him and my dad, honestly, they only call me during the radio show. They know what you do for a living, right? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Anyway, and the text message read – should I read out the text message again? Go on.
Starting point is 00:51:14 Oh, my God. The wheels are off here this afternoon. So she said, her flatmate said, Hey, I was meant to ask, were you in the kitchen at like 5 a.m.? My friend said, yeah, I was. Why's that? She said, oh, woke me up. I thought it was Mo, which is her cat, mucking around but was too tired to get up.
Starting point is 00:51:34 Yeah, passive-ag. Classic passive-ag. Passive-aggressive. We're asking you this afternoon, what tore the flat apart? What passive-aggressive thing was going on that really just tore things apart? Tessa, hi. Hi. What happened, Tgressive thing was going on that really just tore things apart? Tessa, hi. Hi. What happened, Tessa? So it wasn't me. It was my best friend
Starting point is 00:51:49 and she had been living in this flat for probably about three or four months and this guy next to her, like in the room next to her, he would always have work at like 5am but because the walls were super thin, she could hear him typing, like gaming, really, really early in the morning. And so she would see messages being like, like gaming really really early in the morning and
Starting point is 00:52:05 so she would see messages being like hey like can we like maybe turn the typing down a bit and he's like okay whatever and then whenever she had her boyfriend over or me over he'd be like oh can you guys be quiet like is your door open i don't know like because i've got work at five o'clock in the morning and then at one point they were sending these messages in the group chat for the flat, and he pretty much went psycho at her. And she was like, all right, no, I'm moving out. And then this entire flat was like, no, you don't have to move out. You don't have to move out. And then she called me back from work, and she was like, I'm moving out.
Starting point is 00:52:36 Like, come get me. We need to get my shit out of here. And I was like, yes, let's go. Here's the thing about people with unsociable hours. It's annoying for you. It's annoying for everyone else. You guys have got to live together, you know? You've got to find a group of you that dosociable hours. It's annoying for you. It's annoying for everyone else. You guys have got to live together. You know?
Starting point is 00:52:46 You've got to find a group of you that do these awful hours. And it does suck. I've had to do them before. You've done them as well, Brie. It's tough on everybody. When I did breakfast radio, I didn't want to put anyone in that situation. I live by myself. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:57 And I annoyed myself. I love this one on the text machine clip. Someone's written in and they said, When we asked a flatmate to help out with the dishwasher more often, she responded with, no, I only use one plate, one fork and one knife. Nothing else. It gets better. So we asked if she magically cooked her food,
Starting point is 00:53:17 what she magically cooked her food with, and that was the final straw. From that day, she took all of her appliances into her room, even the Nutribullet, which she used in her en suite. We could hear her. She used a NutriBullet in her own bathroom. That's amazing. Okay, this is good. Solis?
Starting point is 00:53:37 Solis, yeah. Solis. Solis. You are openly passive-aggressive. Is that right? I am. What do you do? So I have a flat of seven people,
Starting point is 00:53:50 and we're all uni students. And obviously dishes is the one thing that always rips the flat apart. Always so annoying. And we held like a big flat meeting and stuff because we all got really sick of it. And there's just one flatmate that's really bad. And so we got really sick of it one And there's just one sleepmate that's really bad. And so we got really sick of it one day and me and my other sleepmate, Lisa,
Starting point is 00:54:08 just decided that we would put all her dishes in her bed. Oh, yeah, this is good. Selyse. Selyse, you're not passive aggressive. You're aggressive. There's a difference. You are openly aggressive. And some people say it's more healthy
Starting point is 00:54:23 because you've put the point out there straight away Straight up Did it work? No, she's still shocking She's just not as bad If someone put their dishes in my bed I don't know what I'd do She lost it
Starting point is 00:54:37 Yeah, I'd lose it too Selesa's like, I'm real passive aggressive I've cut up all of her sheets I punched her Passive aggressive I don't up all of her sheets. I punched her. Passive aggressive. I don't know if she got the point.
