Bree and Clint. There is a very cute woman over in Wales who is living out the quote, it's never too late. At 52 years of age, she's decided she's going to go back to university to study and she's going to live in the uni hall. Oh wait, they don't really have a school bell at university, do they? Do they? Do they? No, they don't. No.

If you don't show up, it's your fault. Are you sure? I'm pretty sure. Who was at university last? Anastasia was at Polytech. We could ask her. Anastasia, there's no school bell at university, is there? Scary.

Can you please ask me that again? There's no school bell at university. I'm pretty sure we had one at my uni. I think we had one at... We went to a weird one because it was Polytech. No, no, they didn't. No, they don't. No, they don't.

No. I'm confident there's no school bell. Wait, maybe my university was actually just a high school. Maybe they just called the last year of your university. And they just charged me a lot of money for it. We're asking you what was it never too late to do for you. Jenny's called up. Hi, Jenny.

Hi, Jenny. Hi. What was it for you? What did you do late in life? Well, I'm about to turn 50 next year in March, and I decided to join my teenage daughter's women's football team. So her and I are a mother-daughter combo. How good.

Jenny, are we talking like rugby union, soccer, rugby league? What are we talking? Soccer. Oh, my God. I love you, Jenny. I would love if it was rugby league. No, that's not bad. I love you, Jenny. I would love if it was rugby league. No, that's not bad. Not quite that, yeah.

So have you been like a soccer player before this but just never in a team or is this your first time in a soccer team? Well, I played back in high school, so we're talking over 30 years since I've put my boots on. Yeah, but they don't have to teach you the rules or anything though, right? It's not going to be like... Jenny, it's all muscle memory.

It'll be like riding a bike. You'll get out there and you'll probably, you know, kick it from the corner and just boomerang it in. You're a bona fide bender like Beckham, Jenny. That's very good. I love that, Jenny. You go. That's awesome.

Okay, Colt, love that. Too bad if she shows her daughter up, eh? Yeah. That'd be so good. Or, yeah, benches her. Yeah, Jenny comes on. She's like, sorry, I've taken your spot. The coach is like, we're going to put your mum in because she's better.

She's better. And she's more fun on the pass as well. Ellen's here. Hi, Ellen. Hi, Ellen. Hi, guys. How are you doing? Good, thanks.

What are you doing later on in life? Four years ago, I took up scuba diving. And how old were you four years ago? 51. Whoa, that's pretty awesome, Alan. So did you have to take courses and you know how they teach you in the pool and stuff? Did you do all that? Yeah, yeah, I did all that. Started off with my open water course and then followed it up with my advanced open water course.

That's awesome. What do your kids in that think? I guess they must be pretty stoked with it at the age of 51. Why not? Yeah, they can borrow your scuba gear. I mean, you're 51. You're not that old. You can still do that stuff. But if my dad told me at 51 that he was doing scuba diving,

I'd be like, sweet, can I come do it with you? If your dad told you he was doing scuba diving, you'd go, no, dad. No. No, I wouldn't. Why? Would he be all right scuba diving? My dad's pretty agile. Is he?

Actually, he hasn't run in about 20 years because he's got bad knees, but he had two knee replacements earlier this year, so he'd be all right. Someone's texting they joined the volunteer fire service at 45. That's cool. I love that. That's quite good. Someone said they're voting for volunteer fire service at 45. That's cool. I love that. That's quite good. Someone said they're voting for the first time at 37. Charlene's here.

Hi, Charlene. Hi, Charlene. Shazza. Charlene. Hi, how are you? Good. Charlene, what are you doing later in life? DJing.

DJing? No way. How old are you, Charlene, what are you doing later in life? DJing. DJing? Yes, I do. No way. How old are you, Charlene? I'm 52 now, but I picked up the decks when I was 49 and haven't looked back. I absolutely love it. Where are you DJing? I do a lot of events.

I've done the odd festival. Have you really? Charlene, what's the ultimate banger that you drop in your set where it just makes the crowd go off? Well, I suppose it depends who I'm playing for, but I mean losing it, to be honest, seems to still be one that everyone knows. Fisher losing it.

Losing it by Fisher. I would come to your set. What's your DJ name? She's a DJ. She's a DJ. I'm losing it in Sheva. You win, Charlene. Thanks so much. You definitely win. She's a DJ. She's a DJ. You win, Charlene. Thanks so much.

You definitely win. We're going to get your details. We might be able to book you for a DJ gig sometime soon. Yeah, that'd be amazing. Yeah, we can come out of retirement and we can open for Shaz. Yeah. That'd be good. That would be really good. Love it, Shaz.

We'll see you soon. We have to take losing it out of our DJ set, though. There she goes. Brianne Clint. You're sitting in your car on this fine Wednesday afternoon and you've thought to yourself, I wonder if twins can have different birthdays. Well, we're here to answer that question this afternoon.

Yeah, we're going to find out. We just found out from new producer Anastasia, baby bird over there, that her sisters, twin sisters, were born on different days, but the doctor just let them go, we'll just say they were born on the same day. Can you imagine the doctor just being like, we'll just draw them together.

The doctor comes over technically, but I mean, up to you. Up to you. I imagine he's holding out his hand for you to place like a $100 note on there. He's like, just tell me what I should write down. Whatever you want. Yeah. Yeah, whatever you want. So we're asking this afternoon, do you know twins or are you a twin

and do you have a different birthday to your twin? We've got a twin in our family, your mum, Mumma Di. Hi. Hi, Mum. Good afternoon, guys. How are you going? Mum, who's the better looking twin, you or your sister Julie? Oh, I think the jury's a bit out on that.

I think it'd be a bit of both. It's you. You're an absolute breath of fresh air. Tickets on yourself. Is there any chance that you and Aunty Julie have got different birthdays? No. You're born on the same day.

We were born in the afternoon. How far apart? There was no chance. I think my mum always said it was about 12 minutes. Who's older? Are you older? I am older, yes. You don't look it.

You don't look 12 minutes older. No. Thank you. Thank you, Clint. You were both born on August 13th, 1941 then? Oh, Brianna. Fair dinkum. Fair dinkum.

Love you, Mum. Okay, thank you, Mum and Di, our first twins for the experiment. You cut her off before she said her real birthday. It's good to leave some things up to the imagination. No, it's good to have some, a bit of mystery. No, she can't. 19. Let's find our twins. Hi, Olivia. Hi, it's good to have some, um, a bit of mystery. No, she can't. 19. Let's find our twins.

Hi, Olivia. Hi, how are you? Is this you, Olivia? Are you a twin? No, it's actually my little cousin. Okay, and do they have different birthdays?

Yeah, they're like five days apart. Whoa! Five days? Yeah, one was born on the 23rd of January and the other one was born on the 28th of January.

Whoa! How? Yeah, so they were born prematurelyrd of January and the other one was born on the 28th of January. What? How? Yeah, so they were born prematurely, but now they're, like, so much taller than me and they're both, like, 19, doing great. But, yeah, they're, like, five days. They were in, like, all the magazines. That's incredible.

My mind is blown. Sorry, Olivia, can you explain to me? So, obviously, one baby comes out and then how does the other one manage to stay in for another five days? It's like staying at a hotel that you haven't paid for. It's a late, late chicken. Yeah. Kind of like that.

Well, I guess they're different sets, if that makes sense. So, yeah. So one came. They were like 700 grams. So like just over a pound of butter. Yeah, they were tiny. Yeah, they were teeny tiny. But, yeah, they're five days apart.

But you wouldn't even tell. So they can keep a baby in if they need to. Incubate it for as long as possible. Yeah, it was about a teeny tiny bit. Yeah, they're five days apart. But you wouldn't even tell. So they can keep a baby in if they need to? Incubate it for as long as possible. Yeah, it was sort of done through. Yeah, so the first one was like a natural and then the next one was done through a caesarean. Fascinating. Amazing, Olivia.

That is incredible. Let's talk to Bryce. Bryce, are you the twin? No, no, my niece and nephew are. Okay, and how far apart are they? No, we do five days. They were about 15 minutes apart either side of midnight. Okay.

So they're one day off. So they technically got a different birthday and on their birth certificate, a different birthday. Different birthdays, yep. Mum and Dad definitely wanted them to have, because they were going to be sharing so much together. They wanted them to have their own day. Yes, decision.

But they're not identical. Oh, they're not identical. But do they still combine the birthdays? Like surely that's a novelty at first, but then eventually you go, oh, God. Initially, no, but when they got older and, you know, sort of over teenagers, yes, they did combine. Oh, stuff having teenagers over your house two days in a row. Screw that.

Yeah, true. Oh, so interesting. So they decided to go with the different birthdays. Yeah. Jacob is a twin. Hi, Jacob. Hi, Jacob. Hey, how's it going?

Are you the better looking twin? You can tell us. I definitely am. Yes, Jacob, we knew it. What are you? Are you a boy-boy, boy-girl makeup? How does your twin situation work? So, we're identical twins, but I

rang up because I love you guys. Oh, thanks, Jacob. Love you too, Jacob. What about the twin? Yeah, what about the twin? Sorry, about the twin. So, my brother Cameron, he I was born three minutes past midnight and he was six minutes past midnight.

So it was really close. But I've always hated it because, you know, like having a joint birthday sucks. Okay, so you wish you would come out four minutes earlier. Is that what you're saying? I wish I came out at like 11.59. Yeah, okay. Well, from what you're saying? I came out at like 11.59pm. Okay.

Well, from what we're hearing from producer Anastasia and her parents, you can just make it up. Like if there's any way to go and find that doctor. It's more a suggestion when you come out

and then you can decide, Jacob. Should we dub you a new birthday right now on the show? Yeah. Yes, do it. Do it.

What's your dream birthday? What's your favourite month? Probably, it would have to be probably January. January? Okay, and what's your favourite number? We'll go 14. Congratulations. January 14th.

Happy birthday. We'll be known as your birthday, Jacob. Can I choose a different year as well? Yeah, absolutely. Pick the year. What year? I'll go 1995. You're so young, Jacob.

I know. Fresh. Youthful. Oh, my God, are you a Gen Z? You're a Gen Z-er. Thanks for calling, man. See you, Jacob. No worries.

Good to hear from you guys. Brian Clint. Did you cost your work a lot of money? We're talking about these guys in Canada who are movers by trade, and they dropped a $300,000 piano, and it broke. Do you reckon they were insured? I don't know. It doesn't say whether they were insured or not.

You'd hope if they were a big moving company they would be, but there's a chance that they're not, that they're just an independent. Which, if you've got a $300,000 piano to move, that's your fault for booking the cheap guys. Yeah, true. You should be spending the money. I mean, we've all done something at one point, haven't we? Yeah.

Actually, we were just talking about that before, and we've had quite a few messages about you, Bree, asking how did you overlook that time you cost our work all that money on your phone bill? We don't talk about that anymore on this show. Last Christmas, Bree went home to Australia and used her New Zealand phone on global roaming for a whole month. And wasn't the phone bill like $11,000?

Anyway, moving on, we've got a lot of good tips. I told you we don't talk about that anymore. So that's okay. You have the record. Okay, currently I've got the record. Great. There's one really good text here. Someone said, I misspelt the word entries on a nationwide billboard marketing campaign.

It read, entieties. It costs $35,000 to fix. Oh, no. Old school billboards where you have to get them printed. Yeah, that's terrible.

But again, is it really your fault? Someone should be in charge of proofreading. I guess it's you. You're in charge of proofreading. Yeah, that's you. Hey, Ali.

Hey, how's it going? Yeah, good. Did you cost your work a lot of money? Well, I did. I was unloading the truck and dropped a few ovens. It cost them a few thousand dollars did. I was unloading the truck and dropped a few ovens. It cost them a few thousand dollars to replace.

Bring new ovens. Dropped a few ovens. Can you relate to these guys who dropped the piano then? Like, you're in charge of moving heavy, heavy things that are worth a lot of money. Are you covered? Like, does your work go, oh, that's all right, we'll get this one? Or do they pass it on to you?

They didn't pass it on to me. I'm assuming they have liability insurance. Yeah, right. Right. You just weren't trusted with the big jobs anymore, maybe. Okay, thanks, Ali. Let's talk to Vaughan. Hey, Vaughan.

Hi, Vaughan. How you going? How you doing? Good, thanks, Vaughan. When have you cost your workplace a lot of money? A while ago. I'm a truck driver. A while ago, I rode off a couple of vehicles.

I cost the company between 50 to 100 grand. Pardon me, Vaughan. He's so happy with it, too. He's laughing about it. How did that affect your yearly performance review, Vaughan? Were there any negative repercussions? Not really, no. My boss was pretty good about it, actually.

He was quite decent. Right. Your boss sounds like the most chill boss ever. Yeah, right? Vaughan still laughing about it. He goes, it was actually pretty funny. Yeah, you've got to be able to laugh about it, right? Jared's here too.

Hey, Jared. Hi, Jared. How you going, mate? How you going? Good. Good. When did you cost your are you going, mate? How are you going? Good. Good. When did you cost your workplace a lot of money? What happened?

Well, I'm also a truck driver as well. Oh, what? This is a few years back. Okay. Yeah, and I was delivering chemicals to a laundromat in Queenstown. And I ended up putting the wrong stuff in the wrong stuff, and I made a chlorine gas. I evacuated half of one of the main streets in Queenstown,

and I think the end bill was about $350,000. Oh! Whoa! And you caused a chemical, like, emergency. Yeah, yeah, yeah. There was choppers and stuff had to get flown from Dunedin and all that sort of carry on. Right.

When someone costs their workplace $350,000, do you keep your job? You work for free for the next five years. Yeah, right. I end up staying there for a bit, but yeah, because of that, it turned a bit dirty, so I end up leaving. Yeah, fair enough.

Yeah, I'd be getting out of there too. Can you imagine every time you went in there, they'd be getting out of there too. Can you imagine every time you went in there they'd be like, oh, that guy. And you'd go into the next job too and they'd go,

any references? And you'd go, nah, actually this is my very first job ever. Ever? Bree and Clint. Looking for wedding disasters this afternoon.

A lady sent a TikTok about her wedding where she picked her own flowers and they ended up being poisonous. Wrong flowers. Wild flowers.

Her face puffed up like a peach. Venus fly traps. She nearly passed out. No poison ivy. I was just saying they're the wrong flowers to pick. At least a Venus fly trap wouldn't give you an allergic reaction. Well, it depends. True. It depends where it bites you. Did you have a wedding disaster?

And can you laugh about it now? Hi, Kelly. Hi, Kelly. Hi. It wasn't actually mine. It was my mum's wedding day. And it was a few years ago. There was a massive weather bomb that came through. I'm pretty sure it was actually a cyclone.

It was an outdoor wedding and came through in the night and the morning of. And it destroyed the entire outdoor venue. No. There was no backup, and we had to relocate the entire wedding, like, hours before it went ahead. So Mum walked down the aisle having, like, not even seen the venue that it had been moved to. So did you guys move it to, like, a, you know,

residential backyard, like, in a cul-de-sac? That would have been pretty good. Or a local Mecca's. Yeah, or, like like an RSA. The kids' room at Macca's. Well, you almost hit it on the head there. It is kind of like an RSA, so mum works for the Workingmen's Club. Oh, perfect.

Nothing wrong with that. We got it there literally, I think it was two hours before we were due to walk down the aisle. I tell you what, every cloud has a silver lining, and I've seen how cheap the drinks are at the Workingmen's Club. So that would have been a great wedding in the aisle. I tell you what, every client is a silver lining and I've seen how cheap the drinks are at the Workingman's Club. So that would have been a great wedding in the end. Would have cut costs,

you know, everyone's cost per head down a heap. Yeah, yeah. E-Huck is here. Hi, E-Huck. Hello. Kia ora whānau.

Kia ora. Kia ora. What was the wedding disaster? Was it your wedding? Yes, it was our wedding. Oh, no. So our wedding photographer, she forgot her camera

and tried to charge us for using my wife's phone. Shut the front door. Your photographer forgot the camera? Yeah, so she turned up on the morning. She was half an hour late for obviously the first part of the bridegroom. And she had only brought her lens bag not her camera bag where did you find yeah okay

what kind of I mean what phone are we talking was it a good phone to take photos of it was a good phone I watched the plug Hawaii phone

yeah right yeah yeah but I mean it's no SLR is it though no no no exactly and it was

towards the afternoon when she had turned up and then, yeah, we were wanting the golden hour photos for after the ceremony. But then her husband, because she was an hour and a half away from Tauranga,

her husband started driving. He missed it. So then she started taking photos with my wife's camera. And then a week later we got a $200, $250 invoice for editing, photo editing. Off your phone?

Off of my wife's phone. I'd be livid. I told her to stick it and then we never paid it and just used the photos that we had and I think I did a better job on pixels to be honest.

Yeah, I was going to say. It's not like she can go, it's not like she can go, if you don't pay me you won't get the photos. They're on your wife's phone. You're like, we've already got them. I can just picture her being a photographer, right. She can go, if you don't pay me, you won't get the photos. They're on your wife's phone. You're like, we've already got them. I can just picture her being a photographer, right?

She's like leaving the house. She's like, right. She's probably hung over by the sounds of it. Yeah. She's like, right. Have I got everything? Phone, wallet, keys. Sweet.

Let's go. I'm good. I'm good to go. I've got everything. Katie, finally, wedding disaster. What happened? Mate's wedding a few years back. Bride's mother ran away with the groom right after the reception.

Excuse me? The bride's mother ran away with the groom straight after the reception? Are we talking the same night? Yes. The same night? What? Did they have their first dance or something? The day of?

Yep. Day of. Oh, my God. What was the aftermath? What happened after that? I assume the wedding, the marriage was off? Well, the bride's mother and the groom went on the honeymoon together. You're kidding.

No. I wish I was. They didn't go on the honeymoon that was organised? Yes, the arranged honeymoon that was for the new husband and wife. What's going on? This sounds like a cover story for that magazine, That's Life. You know? Surely this was happening before the wedding.

Was it? Was it like an affair thing that revealed itself at the wedding? Yes, it kind of just blew up after that. God. But then they came back from the honeymoon and it was all over. The relationship. Oh, my God. You're telling me it wasn't like a solid...

Wait a minute. No. I swear I saw this episode on Shortland Street last week. We're asking a very personal question. It is very personal, isn't it? It is very personal. But if it's part of your relationship dynamic and you guys have talked about it, then it just is.

And I think if it's in the past, it's okay. I think so too. And I think your relationship is probably stronger if it is in the past and you've now got that open communication about it. So Justin Bieber, they've got a new series, him and his wife Hayley called The Biebers. And Hayley has come out on new series, him and his wife Hayley, called The Biebers. And Hayley has come out on the series, the first episode,

and she said, yeah, Justin used to be a bit of an F-boy. He used to be. I've got a Bieber. Try it again. He used to be a what? He used to be a bit of a F-boy. Yeah, oh, you're almost. You're not meant to.

Yeah, we got it. That's fine. We're good, we're good, we're good. You made me do that. So we want to know, can you admit that you're with a former F boy? Yeah. Are you dating him? How did he change his ways? What happened?

How did you know that he was? Yeah, what was the tipping point? There was a few texts coming through. Someone said, okay, this is the deal. My now 50-year-old F guy, I changed his life by telling him that it's an evil thing to do and now we're pregnant. Oh. Okay.

So maybe it worked. So the power of Christ compels you to stop mucking around or something? Or maybe she just gave him the ultimatum. Yeah, right. You know? She was just like, it's stupid, it's evil, stop doing it. Yeah. Okay. Maddie's here as well. Hi, Maddie. Hi, Maddie. Hi. How you going? Good. Is it you or a partner or who is it? It's me. I'm

a former if girl. Are you? You know, I've never heard the term if girl. Oh, yeah. They exist. It sounds weird. It does sound weird. They definitely exist. So what were you doing that made you an F girl? So I had just got out of a three year relationship at the end of high school and realised I'd kind of wasted my prime years and so I kind of went hard after that relationship. You do. How old were you by the way? Older than 18. Can you now, because how old are you now?

23. Can you with a bit of distance realise how ridiculous it is to think at 18 that you've wasted your prime years? Yeah, probably to be honest. You were literally going into your prime years in my opinion. Well, it's a big window. Anyway, okay, so

you hit it hard like you said. Did you screw people around? Like, you know what I mean? Oh, yeah. Yeah. You hurt people's feelings. At one point, Maddie, how many people were you kind of playing the field with at once?

About four. Good effort. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And what sorted you out? Can I say, that would be hard to deal with. I can't remember what I've said to someone two days ago. What changed you? So I had a relationship way back in high school before the serious one

and we kind of never really lost touch and kept in touch over the years and, yeah, we ended up getting back together and now we're engaged. Wow. So the love of a good man or woman, man or woman? Man. The love of a good man straightened you out? Yep, sure did. Yeah, and who cares if you had a bit of fun?

You needed to do that to find your true one. Oh, that rhymed. That was nearly, yeah. Yeah, it rhymed. No one willing to call up and acknowledge their partner's past this afternoon. There's quite a few on the text machine. Is there? I'm not going to lie.

With full names and everything. Yeah, maybe don't read those out. Yeah, I won't read those out. We've been talking about Will and Jada Smith, Jada Pinkett Smith. Yep. They're in the news because Jada is having a romantic relationship with someone who's not well, but it's chill because they are in a life partnership, not a romantic partnership now.

Anymore. Anymore. So they used to be. They used to be. But they've decided they're now in a life partnership. They're not doing that and now she is out there. Go Jada. Go Jada.

And it's what we're calling an unconventional relationship situation, right? Yeah, what is known as that. But we wanted you guys to call. Are you in one of these situations? Yeah, it can be any variation of just outside your bread and butter relationship. Yeah, cookie cutter relationships. Oh, boring. Two people, boring.

This person wants to remain anonymous, but we're glad you called us. Hello, anonymous. Hi, anonymous. Hello. How are you? Good, thanks. How are you? I'm wonderful.

Is this for you? Do you have, you know, something that's a bit unusual in your relationship? Yes. So I am in a, what, three years in my relationship now and we see other people. We always have. You always have. You did that from the very start. From the very start. You didn't change it up to spice things up. No, no, no, no. We just, we're spicy as is. Anonymous, can I ask, is this been something that you've always done in your relationships or it only works in certain ones? No, no, no, no, like not at all.

Prior to this, I was in a long-term relationship and then I just realised coming out of that, meeting this person, I really like this person and just didn't really want to give up the option to see other people. Yeah, right. So whose idea was it? It was mine. My partner also, like, has not been in an open relationship before.

Yeah. And, of course, you know, like, you've just got to get your, like, base, the ground rules sorted before you sort of leave. Yeah, right. But they were kind of keen? You were like, do you want the whole buffet?

And they were like, yep, keen. Yeah, I don't. Did they? Yeah. Yeah, right. But they were kind of keen? You were like, do you want the whole buffet? And they were like, yep, keen. Yeah, I don't. Did they? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, absolutely. The cliche is if it's a man, they don't take much convincing, right? No, I suppose that, yeah, they don't.

Well, actually, no. My partner was actually, of course, he was, he's a very logical person, so he's just like, well, how would this work? And, you know, like, but he was definitely receptive and open to it. He was actually happy to be in a monogamous relationship. Right, so he was the one that took a little bit more convincing. That's fascinating, Anonymous.

Thank you very much for the perspective. We like it. Thank you. Someone else has texted through and they said, this isn't me, but my cousin is in a life partnership kind of like Will and Jada and they don't do romantic stuff with each other so much so that she had a baby with someone else and the baby is living with both of them but not the father of the baby that is fascinating the family has accepted this but it's not personally for me interesting wow so Wow. So they go, we are a couple. Yeah. And we're going to do life together.

And they don't even want to like artificially impregnate each other. No. Wow. Quite fascinating, isn't it? And Steph is here. Hi, Steph. Hi, Steph. Hi, guys.

How are you? Good. How are you? Good. Thank you. Let us have it. What's the go with you? So I am a polyamorous pansexual. I was in a relationship with my ex-husband and another guy.

Okay. Yeah, it sadly ended, but, you know, that's all fine. Did it end with both, Steph? At first one and then the other one because I decided I had some, like I found someone else that gave me the whole shebang, you know, one shop stop type thing. Oh, right. Okay, so you went from being polyamorous to being monogamous.

Is that right? Kind of. Like I still get feelings for other people when we talk about it. It's all about, you know, communication. That's the big thing. Yeah. And the partner I have have has like we've sat down and we've talked about it there's ground rules if that happens and if it happens the first

thing i do is go to them and talk to them and what do they think about the whole thing steph because have they had that kind of relationships like before or no not really um Always been a free spirit. Yes. I imagine it's important to be a free spirit in these relationships. Yeah, it is. And he's very open-minded. You can't be jealous, eh? You can't have any sort of jealousy about your relationship whatsoever? Is that fair to say? Polyamorous people are definitely not.

You can have jealousy, but you've got to be able to process it and talk about it. Yeah, fascinating. Wow. All right. Well, congratulations on being able to live it and talk about it. Yeah, fascinating. Wow. All right. Well, congratulations on being able to live your true life, Steph. It's empowering. Is it difficult sometimes, Steph, can I ask, to be living something that's, you know,

not considered the social norm? It can be. Walking in the mall, holding hands with both of them, there's a lot of kairos out there. Oh, I didn't think about it like that. Yeah, I'm sure you get quite a lot of judgment. Yeah. I have a very good queer family

and both my parents are very okay with it. His parents don't know about it, though. Yeah, right. Well, good for you. Well, great to hear you've got a great support system around you. Thank you so much for calling. No problem. Enjoy the rest of your day.

You too, mate. That is so interesting. So interesting. Bree and Clint. The rest of your day. You too, mate. That is so interesting. So interesting. Bree and Clint. The girl has spoken out and she said, bit of advice lads, or anyone taking a girl on a date for the first time, don't take us to the beach.

What about at night time? Nope. Skinny dipping? No. Not sexy. It's a tog thing, right? You don't want to be in your togs that early. Not in front of a stranger. We don't want to be put in that position. Already enough pressure on a first date. We've already added things like exercise, concerts, family events.

An abattoir. Weirdly an abattoir. Have you been taken to an abattoir before? Is that where that comes from? Yeah, maybe. Right, okay. Well, don't take a girl to an abattoir. And we want to know from you, where else? What else goes that comes from? Yeah, maybe. Right, okay. Well, don't take a girl to an abattoir. And we want to know from you, where else?

What else goes on the list? Hi, Alex. Hi, Alex. How's it going, guys? Good, thanks, mate. Where do you reckon is a bad place for a first date? The worst place for me was when I was in high school, I took my new girlfriend on a first date to my house.

Hey. You mean your parents' house? Yeah, so we went home to watch a movie and then mum and dad decided to join us and watch The Impossible Brother. Alex, please tell me it wasn't a movie because this is always awkward when you're watching it with your parents.

That had one of those scenes in it. It was a movie to get in the mood, but yeah. What was the movie? You have to tell us. You have, but yeah. What was the movie? You have to tell us. You have to tell us. What was the movie? Cruel Intentions.

It seriously did kill the mood. Oh, no. Okay. Good. Okay. Don't take them to your parents' house. Great advice, Alex. I could have given you that advice.

Very good. Logan's here. Hi, Logan. G'day, Logan. Hiya. How's it going? Good, thanks. What's the worst place to take someone on a first date, Logan? I took my beauty therapist girlfriend for a first date drenching cattle.

Why? Why? Because the cattle needed to be drenched that day. Spoken like a true cattle farmer. I love that, Logan. Could have been worse You could have been Castrating them

Well yeah Well that's right But she didn't know It was impromptu And when I went And picked her up She was wearing heels And

Oh no Logan Don't try and romanticise it By saying it was impromptu Okay Don't try and make it Sound fancier than it was You took a girl

Cow drenching for the first date. It's alright, he drenched her too. For free? No, not like that! Oh, not! I dare not make it like that! Nah, last show of the year, you're cancelled.

Hey Logan, come on now! I did not! No, that's disgusting. Did you at. No, no, no, no, no. That's disgusting. Did you at least brand it? Laura. Hi, Laura. Hi. Where's the worst place to take someone on a first date?

So we decided that we're going to go to a parent's place, but then he was like, oh, we'll pop in and see my granddad. He turned into the local graveyard and took me to his granddad's grave. You are kidding. You're kidding. He took you to a cemetery to see his dead granddad? Yeah. Was there like a thoughtful, like creative idea off that

or he was just taking you to the cemetery? I guess he just really used to like his granddad. That's fine. It's fine to like his granddad. That's fine. It's fine to love your granddad and it's fine to miss your granddad, but it's not first date material. No, definitely not. Was there a second date? I have to say yes, there was actually.

That's nice. And how did the second date go? Where did he take you then? To a funeral parlour? I honestly can't remember. Was there a third date? Obviously not. Well, it definitely wasn't as exciting as the first date.

Right. I need to get to the point though. Did you stay with this guy? Yes. You did? Wait, wait, wait. Laura, are you with him right now? No, not anymore.

How long did the relationship last for? About a year and a half. Kiwi girls need to up their standards. What are you doing? Can I ask Laura, did he ever take you back to visit his granddad? No. No, he didn't. No, that's first date material.

It was just first date. No, no, that's only for the first date. Oh, yeah. Okay, well, thank you, Laura. Thank you, Laura. That is, that's first date material. It was just first date. No, no, that's only for the first date. Oh, yeah. Okay, well, thank you, Laura. Thank you, Laura. That is a very interesting first date. Have you been in a coma? It's a weird question to ask on the radio, but we're very curious. So there's a story about a woman out of Brazil who woke up from a 78-day coma

to find that her husband had left her for her mum. What a piece of work. It sounds like days of our lives. It does. It sounds like a plot line out of The Young and Restless. A hundred percent. Doesn't it? Yeah.

And it's all soft focus and you go, you've left me for my mother? I was in a coma. But it really happened. So we've asked, have you been in a coma? We'd love to know about it. Chris is here. Hey, Chris. Hi, Chris.

Hey, yeah. Look, Chris. Hey, yeah. Look, back in 2014, I was actually in a coma. What? From Chris? How did it happen? I'm a jockey and I had a horse break both front legs. So it was a bit of an unfortunate sort of accident. Yeah, right.

No way. Yeah, look, I woke up singing Anaconda by Nicki Minaj. No. You're lying. So, yeah, no, I woke up singing Anaconda by Nicki Minaj. No. You're a liar. So, yeah, nah, I did see, had friends beside me who can vouch for us, and I was rapping it word for word, you know. Is that your favourite song? What does this do for you?

At the time. My Anaconda don't, my Anaconda don't. Take you back? My Anaconda don't. Yeah, mate, look, I did get on the radio for it as well. Wow. A bit of a funny sort of story to tell, eh? Can I ask, how long were you in a coma for?

Ten days. Whoa, yeah, right. And did they induce that coma? Yeah. Yeah, right, okay. Why Anaconda? Do you have any special affiliation with the song? Can we try and drill down into these things

and see what part of their psyche it relates to. What part of your brain is Anaconda about? Yeah, look, everyone knows I'm a Saturday night sort of guy. Always up for a good time. And Nicki Minaj, I am knowing. Does it for you. Who's to know all of her lyrics to this song. Yeah, look, I would have thought I was out on a Saturday night, you know.

Yeah, right. Seeing my friends beside me when I was out on a Saturday night, you know. Yeah, right. I've already seen my friends beside me when I woke up. Just waking up really hungover. Chris. Yeah, come on, let's go. After such a big, you know, obviously injury, are you still riding? Yeah, look, I'm still a jockey. Are you?

Good for you then to get back on and do it. Because I watched that movie with Michelle Payne, the first woman to win the Melbourne Cup, and she had a similar injury where she was in a coma and then came back from it to win the Melbourne Cup. Fascinating. Hey, Chris, we're glad you're okay now, man. We appreciate it, Chris.

Yeah, amazing story. And T's here. Hey, T. Hi, T. Hey, how's it going? Good, thanks. Was it you that was in a coma? I was in a coma back in 2002.

For how long, T? So it was for 10 days. Another 10 days, yeah. Yep, induced coma. I fell off a horse as well. No way. Right. I wasn't wearing a helmet.

Yeah. And so when I woke up, I had told my parents that I'd had all these dreams while I was in a coma. Yeah. But they were just distorted. I could hear the conversations that were happening. Distorted realities. Yeah, so I could hear the conversations that people were having when they were visiting me,

and I just thought I was having these weird dreams, and they were slightly distorted. That's what I really wanted to ask Chris, too, because I think that you go into a coma, and then you wake up, and all that time has just slipped by. But you do have some concept of time when you're in a coma, is that right? I'm not too sure. I just woke up saying I'd had this really weird dream,

and then I was like, oh, we talked about this. And my dad used to talk to me in my coma and ask me, do you want me to sing to you? And I'd shake my head. Wow. Hey, T, was anyone talking behind your back? Nah, I don't think so. I was only 12, so.

Well, okay, but that's a good tip. If someone's in a coma, don't talk shit about them behind your back? Nah, I don't think so. I was only 12, so. Well, okay. But that's a good tip. If someone's in a coma, don't talk shit about them behind their back. Yeah, they definitely can hear you. They can hear it, yeah. Did you get back on the horse? Yes. You did.

That's the saying, right? You've got to get back on the horse. But I feel like if I'd been in a coma, I'd have every right not to get back on the horse. Oh, absolutely. But I bet you wear a helmet now, T, right? Yeah. Of course. Your parents wrapped you in cotton wool for a long horse. Oh, absolutely. But I bet you wear a helmet now, T, right? Yeah. Of course. Your parents wrapped you in cotton wool for a long time.

Yeah. Well, I'm so glad you're okay and that you had that experience and you've called us. Thank you. Awesome. See ya. Get you a shorter horse for a bat. Real short-legged horse.

Bree and Clint. Now we want to talk to you about your secrets. Yeah. What is the biggest secret? Maybe you're still keeping it as we speak, but what's the biggest secret you've ever had to keep? Hmm. You revealed a story about a man who had a secret family

living in Perth, a couple of suburbs over from his real family. For years he had this secret. And I'm worried that that will be quite common, things like that as well. But let's find out what people have got. Our first caller wants to remain anonymous. Hello. Hello. Hey, how's it going? Good, thanks. Our first caller wants to remain anonymous. Hello. Hello. Hey, how's it going?

Good, thanks. Anonymous, are you currently keeping this secret still? Yes, I am. So my best friend, who's been married for about 20 years, has a girlfriend on the side as well. Oh, no. How long has he had the girlfriend for? About three years.

How did you find out? Did he confide in you or did you just stumble upon it? He did. And what makes it really awkward is we're all a big friend group, so everyone in the group knows except for his wife. Are you a bit annoyed that he brought you into this mess because then, you know, kind of, you know, makes you in this position where you have to kind of...

Yeah, you're compromised. Yeah. A hundred percent. I would love nothing more than for her to actually find out, you know, because she doesn't deserve this. Will you tell her? No. Would you ever push him to tell her, though, anonymous? I have been, yes.

Yeah, that's all you can do, I think. Okay. That's rough. Sorry that you're think. Okay. That's rough. Sorry that you're in that position. That's not good. No. Someone else has texted through and they said, I slept with my married neighbour for six months

and I've kept that secret still ten years later. Oh, they have stopped doing it, though? Yeah, this was a while ago, I think. Yeah, right. They said they felt horrible and horrendous about it. Yeah. Would you get over it when your neighbours moved? You'd be like, oh, well, that's like...

Next. You know, like they... Kevin's here. Hey, Kevin. Hi, Kevin. Yeah. What's the biggest secret you've ever kept? I'm still keeping it.

And the secret is my wife has twin girls, two ex-siblings. Whoa. Whoa. And my family have no idea. Really? So the kids in your family are not your kids? They're not actually in my family yet. They're still overseas because my wife is from China. Oh, wow.

But there's some half-brothers and sisters going on. That's fascinating, Kevin. Thank you. Yeah, crazy. Someone else has texted through. This is quite interesting to me. And they said, my granddad came out as gay after 40 years of marriage.

He also had a partner for those 20 something years. See, that one's sad. That makes me, I just feel for all those people, especially in that generation who they didn't really have a choice and what a crazy secret to keep. Yeah. And not only keep but actually have to act on. Yeah, there would have been a lot more people who were

of different sexualities in that time that couldn't be honest about what they were inside. Absolutely. And I always hoped that they were able to at least confide in their partner at some stage. And you know what? I feel for both people though. Like I always hoped that they were able to at least confide in their partner at some stage. And you know what? I feel for both people, though. Like, I feel for the partner.

I feel for the person that couldn't be who they were. It sounds like Grandad got that chance eventually, though. That's amazing. That story really is quite, yeah, quite intense. When you think about, eventually he did. He came out and said, this is me. So let's lighten the mood and go to a cheating story. Anonymous is here.

Hi, Anonymous. Hi. What's the biggest secret you've ever kept? I found out that my sister's husband was having an affair. Oh, how'd you find out? He actually told me. What? Your sister's husband told you? His wife's sister that he was having an affair. Is he stupid, though?

Why would he tell you? I kind of think he wanted to get caught. Right. Oh. That makes sense. I don't know. I mean, I said to him, what are you going to do? And he was like, I'm actually going to leave her.

And I said, you don't, look, if you don't want to be with someone, don't be with him. You don't cheat. That's just not the way to do it. But I'm just so angry. Yeah. I would have been. So what happened in the end? Is it resolved? Did you tell her?

Did he tell her? No. I told my other sister because I thought she knew and she didn't know. And she went to me, if ever our other sister finds out, we can't tell her we knew. Yeah. Oh, God. No. Yeah.

He went on a work trip and his work phoned my sister and said, why is he not at work? Is he sick? And my sister said, what are you talking about? He's at a work trip. And he wasn't. He had taken this woman away for. And he got, so he got, he got found out. And did you get.

He got caught. Did you get like, did you get your actress on? And when you, were you like. Oh my God. I'm so surprised. And you've never, and you've never told your sister that you knew. Oh my. No.

No way. That sucks though. Because you haven't. You didn't do anything wrong. You Oh my, no. Oh my God. That sucks though because you haven't, you didn't do anything wrong. Yeah, you got involved when you, oh God. Yeah, right.

Okay. Yeah, I just didn't have the heart to tell her. No, I understand. It's not your fault. I understand. You didn't do anything. Yeah.

Yeah, that sucks though that you got brought into it. Thank you Anonymous. That is some juicy stuff. Thank you for sharing with us. We really appreciate it. You're welcome. No worries.

Okay, cool. Bree and Clint. Tell me what bit you. Because a guy in Thailand has shared a story about how he was on the toilet, having a look at a few videos on his phone when he felt a big sharp pain on his old fella, and he's jumped up and he had a snake attached to it. Snake on a snake. He goes, oh, my God, it's you. It's a classic snake to it. Snake on a snake. He goes, oh my God, it's you.

It's a classic snake to snake story. Snake to snake. He swung it about helicopter style until he slammed the snake inside the toilet with the toilet lid and it let go. I don't know what I would do. What would you do? You'd be in shock. I've always wondered this, and this is me from not being from a snake country

Can you strangle a snake? And if you were to strangle it Which bit do you squeeze? The neck Which bit? Okay Question number two The neck

Just below the eyes Which bit of the snake is the neck? Just below the eyes The snake is 100% neck It's just one big long neck No there's like neck, torso and tail. There's not torso. Yeah, neck, torso, tail.

Anyway, we're asking you what bit you are. And first person to call through is Keith. G'day, Keith. G'day, Keith. Hi, I was in some, having a holiday in the back blocks in the middle of nowhere. Pigs running around, cold water, no dramas. Last day of two weeks, we go to a flash hotel in town. I jump into bed naked, and I thought it was a spider bit me on the arm.

Yeah, okay. I've got to find it. So we're stripping the bed down, rip the bed right apart, and there's an eight-inch frickin' centipede like a monster. Oh, yeah. The wife's screaming. I'm trying to catch this thing. A couple of hours later, I'm a broken man. I'm trying to catch this thing. A couple of hours later, I'm a broken man.

I'm just crying my eyes out. I'm on the floor. And if that had a bit me on the old fella, I tell you, I would have stabbed myself. I would have stabbed myself. You would have cut it off, Keith. Yeah. Get rid of it.

It was horrendous. Also, intimidating that that is eight inches as well. Yeah, yeah. It would be quite humiliating to put that one next to your one. You're like, well, way to show me up centipede.

Apparently centipedes really hurt. It was like my arm was being crushed and sawn off with a rusty hacksaw blade. That is descriptive. Yeah, yeah.

Well, Keith, we're glad it was your arm and not your old fella. I don't know why that's why I'm going here poor guy. Yeah, I, we're glad it was your arm and not your old fella. I don't know why. That's why I'm going here. Thank God, Keith. Yeah, I would have stabbed myself, honestly.

Look at Keith. Keith, Keith, Keith. Can you get a better evacuation plan? I don't want you to stab yourself. There's a high chance that in the years you've got left on this earth, you're going to be bit by something else. Pour some meth on it. When I came home and got stung by a bee,

I put him back on there and got him to sting me three times and I said, mate, you don't know what pain is. Give it a good go. Keith.

Keith, you're like some sadomasochistic. Keith. You can't hurt me. You're not a centipede. You can't hurt me. And he had a go.

How many beers have you had? No, I'm not. I'm serious. Keith, Keith, Keith, can you wait there? Can you wait there? I want you to hear the other stories and then we're going to come back to you. Yeah, we'll come back to Keith after.

Okay, wait there. Ben, hi Ben. I don't think I can top the secret. No, it's hard. Keith's really set the bar really high. He really described it well Ben, so good luck. What bit you? Okay, so I got bit by a Himalayan tar. Oh, Himalayan tar, the ones they're trying to cull at the moment in the South Island. Yeah, yeah, it was my birthday.

We were at Rikki Rangini Park and Pottery Cafe. Yeah. And I thought it would be a good place to go for my 19th. Yeah. And, you know, feeding the wild animals, as you do. And the Himalayan tar decided to poke through the fence and clamp down on the nipple. On your nipple?

Okay, Ben, stick with us. Keith, how does a bite on the nipple from a Himalayan tar compare to your centipede story? Did it last 24 hours? Well, it did through blood. Who does, Keith? And ripped the whole thing. Okay, Ben.

Thank you for your contribution. Finally, Mark, what bit you? Yeah, guys, it wasn't what bit me. It was what bit my brother. What bit your brother? What bit your brother? Well, what bit my brother? Well, we grew up on a farm in Dunedin, and we lived by the sea.

So we had a sheep farm, and we were having issues with mollyhawks. They're like the big version of the seagulls, real big nasty buggers. So being kids then, we thought we'd take the law into our own hands because Dad was getting sick of these big birds attacking the lands and actually killing them. So we thought we'd be the lone rangers with our slug guns and go over the back and try and stop the killing. So we went over the back,angers with our slug guns and go over the back and try and stop the killing. So we went over the back,

and my brother let off a shot with one of his slug guns, and he knocked one over. So anyway, he chopped up a... I know, I know, but this is the sort of silly things we did on fire. Mark, Mark, Mark, you've got to cut to the chase. Did you get bit by an angry molly hawk? Well, let's just say he went and retrieved it, and he was bringing it down with its wings all flayed out

like he was a champion hunter, and it came to, and it grabbed his old winger. It grabbed on the winger. It grabbed on his winger, mate, and I was still in the middle of my slug gun, and he was screaming at the top of his voice, shoot it, shoot it, shoot it. And I didn't know what to do,

so I let off a shot at him, and of course, being a slug gun, I hit him in the knee, and he's going, you hit me in the knee. So you shot your brother in the knee while there was a molly hawk attached to his penis. Ben Mark. Yeah, but he's got three kids now, so there was no damage.

Thank you. That was a great topic at his 21st. Thank you for displaying why women live longer than men. Keith, Mark, Ben, we thank you for your service this afternoon. We appreciate the calls. The UK man is making headlines yesterday after he announced that he was engaged with his daughter's ex-boyfriend. If you can wrap your head around that.

We've just been on his Instagram in the break. Seems like him and the daughter are fine. I think... Either that or he's posting some throwbacks. Yeah, right? So the daughter and the boyfriend, apparently, according to this article, dated for a couple of months.

I'm not sure if they split up because he fell in love... Because dad was keen. ...with the dad or if they split up and then the dad and the boyfriend fell in love. I don't know. But to put it bluntly, the parent is dating the child's ex-boyfriend. Exactly right. Yeah. So we've asked, did your parent date your ex?

Did mum or dad hook up with your ex? Or it could have been your current. Or you could have been your current Or you could have dated your parents' ex Let's not confuse it Yeah, right, right We've got some This person wants to remain anonymous

Hello, anonymous Hi Hello Has this happened in your family, anonymous? Yes My sister was engaged to be married Broke it off, I think, two months before they were actually going to get married And the day after married, broke it off, I think, two months before they were actually going to get married.

And the day after that she broke it off, we found out that our mum had slept with him whilst they were on a break before they got engaged. No! Wait, wait! This was before they got engaged? Yeah, so they had a break for a couple of weeks to go back together. A few months later, he proposed.

And it wasn't until the day after that she called it off that um one of his friend's girlfriend had spilled the beans to my sister and admitted what had happened whoa what i mean stupid question but what what's the deal with you guys and mum now we haven't spoken in a couple years and that was kind of the final nail in the coffin because yeah that's horrible, Anonymous. Whoa. And as we've learnt from the TV show Friends, there's no such thing as a break.

No. There's no such thing as a break when it's your daughter's boyfriend. Ever. Ever. Ever, period. Ever, ever. Full stop. Unless there is, which is what we're looking for this afternoon.

Oh, that's sad. There are some wild texts coming in on this. There are some really crazy texts. Someone texted through and they said, my friend found out that his father had been going behind his back with his girlfriend for years. Apparently she's still with the father now and none of them talk. I just don't understand how it could be worth it to risk the relationship with your

kid. How could you do that to your kid? They must be hot. That hot? They'd have to be very hot. Hi Lucy. Hi Lucy. Hey. Has this happened to you? I have a similar sort of situation but even probably a bit more juicy. So my dad had a wife

who she had children from a previous marriage. My dad had a child with this wife. They split up like a few years later and then my dad started dating the wife's oldest daughter. So at this time, my brother...

His stepdaughter? Yeah, my brother's sister was also his stepmom at the same time. Oh, no. Wait, wait, wait, wait. Your brother's sister? Yeah. Because she was dating his dad. Oh, because they had the child together.

And then he was dating the other kid that he obviously didn't father. What was the relationship to you again, Lucy? This wasn't your dad? No, it was my dad. But you're on the other side of the family. I'm in a completely different mother. It's really messy. What does your mum think of all of this?

Well, she had split up with him years before this happened and she's kind of just like, you do you. I know what she means. You do you, Lucy. We're going to broadcast publicly other than on the radio. Yeah, I was going to say, you know we're broadcasting it publicly, eh?

Yeah. I bet your mum's thinking she's dodged a radio. Yeah, I was going to say, you know we're broadcasting it publicly, eh? Yeah. I bet your mum's thinking, jeez, dodged a bullet. Yeah, no, just kidding. Oh, well, that's wild, Lucy. Thanks for sharing. You win the conversation. She definitely wins, yeah. Bree and Clint.

From time to time, certain names get associated with certain things, and it sucks to have that name because it's overshadowed by the stereotype. Most of the time, it's names, yeah, getting a bad rap. Yeah, like imagine you had the name David Bain in the 90s. Like that would have been a tough time. You know? Oh, my God. No, I'm right, though. Yeah, you wouldn't want that name, no.

I knew a guy in the mid-2000s called Chris Brown. And I was like, oh, rough ride ahead for you for the next little while. Wouldn't be ideal if you got the name Ted Bundy. Exactly right. Oh, you can say Ted Bundy, but I can't say David Bain. Well, you started it. I'm just making a local reference, okay? The name of the moment is Karen.

To be a Karen is a thing. I think it's Karen, can I please speak to the manager? Exactly right. That kind of is what started it. To clear up any confusion, I actually have the Wikipedia definition of what a Karen is. Oh, this is very, very real and correct. Well, it's such a phenomenon that there is a Wikipedia definition.

Isn't that crazy? Here it is. Wikipedia defines a Karen as a term for a person perceived to be entitled or demanding beyond the scope of what is considered appropriate or necessary. Such women are often depicted as demanding and wanting to speak to the manager and having a particular bob cut hairstyle. But is it accurate to find out we want to speak to New Zealanders who either know a Karen or are a Karen. First one is Manny, and your mum, your friend's mum is a Karen, Manny. Yes, my friend's mum is Karen.

And what are your thoughts on her? Does she fit the bill? Oh, she hits the mark. And above. And above. Oh, no. Have you ever seen her ask for the manager? Oh, she sent us back.

So, there's a group of friends, right? And most of us are all over 18, except my friend. We'll just call him Bob just because I don't want to help him out. But, yeah, Bob's mum told us to go back to McDonald's and get some more fries because they weren't hot. Oh, right. So she sent you back to talk to the manager of McDonald's. So literally what it says.

Okay, well, that's one for yes, Karens are Karens. Casey's here. Hi, Casey. Hi, Casey. Hi. This is a first-person account. Your mum is a Karen. Yes, she is.

Okay, Casey, be careful because you're talking about your mother. So she is, so sorry, she is Karen, but the question is, is she a Karen? Yeah. She is, but not to the person's face. Right. So she's like all of us then. Or me and my brother get it. Yes. She will say, oh, yes, I'm going to talk to the manager.

Yeah. I'm going to talk to this person, get all hyped up, talk to them or is on the phone to them, and she is the loveliest person in the world. She can't follow through. I think she's a 50% Karen, your mum. So, yeah. Okay, interesting. Thank you for calling. Andrew's here. Hi, Andrew. G can't follow through. I think she's a 50% Karen, your mum. So, yeah. Okay, interesting. Thank you for calling. Andrew's here. Hi, Andrew.

G'day, Andy. How you going? Well, my mum's a Karen, but she's one of those just walked in the door and all the staff go, oh God, here's a Karen. Right. So she emits a Karen energy even before she says her name. 100%. Most lovely lady

you'd ever meet, but just do not cross her. Do not overc says her name. 100%. Most lovely lady you'd ever meet, but just do not cross her. Do not overcook her steak. Do not short her wine. Don't cross her. Yeah, yeah, right. Andrew, I need to ask, does she have,

what kind of haircut does she have? So it's not quite a bob, but it's never, ever been past the neckline. So very, very short and always keeps very short. So she's got that sort of, yeah, that Karen look about her. So I hate to say it, but it's a pretty hard thing to lose for Karen.

And that's your mum. That's your mum that you're saying this about. 100%. The amount of free wines and bottles of wine we've had at meals and meals thrown in. So having a Karen in the family has actually been beneficial for you guys? 100%. Well, I mean, I've learned so much off her. I never pay full price for anything.

If something goes wrong, I become a bit of a Karen. You're the second generation of Karen. Yeah. I like it. We're going to wrap this up with a real-life Karen. Oh, here we go. From the horse's mouth. Yeah.

Karen, good afternoon. Hello. Would you like to speak to our manager? No, I wouldn't. But I'd just like to kind of, you know, put it out there. I do not have a bad cat because, come on, that's pretty bad. Yeah. And, you know, like, can we just check in, like, her name is Susan or Tracy

because I think they're worse than Karen. Like, I'm really not that bad. Yeah, right. I hear what you're saying, Karen, because I definitely feel like there's always a Susan somewhere in the office. Susan's always in everyone's business. A Tiffany. I mean, it's pretty bad when your own kids take the mickey out of you, you know, with the memes that are coming in.

They're like, respect the drip, Karen. Well, we appreciate hearing from a real-life Karen. Thank you, Karen. And you seem fun. You are very welcome. I am fun. See, Karen's aren't bad. Yes, Karen, you're all right with us.

Yeah, you're a big kid. All right, I'm going to have to let you go now, Karen. Thanks, Karen. Brie and Clint. Harry and Meghan have decided they don't want to be royal anymore. They will never be royal. Royal. They're out, my G. They are gapsing it.

They have announced a plan to become financially independent, which means they'd like to fund their own lifestyle. Wait, so how are they going to do that? Through Meghan's career? I don't know. She would have money already because she's been very successful. Yeah, I mean, she was very successful in admin. And, no, suits.

Oh, suits. I don't watch either. Sorry, guys. My bad. was very successful in admin. And no, suits. Oh, suits. I don't watch either. Sorry, guys. My bad. And Harry was in the army for years, so he would have money. And they've both got those jobs. They could go back to those jobs if they really want to, I guess. I'm calling it.

I'm saying it's because, well, does that mean Megan and Kate's sister-in-law? Yes. I reckon it's a sister-in-law feud. Do you reckon that's what's ripped the family apart? I think that's what sparked it. Regardless of what it is, they've announced they're resigning from their family. So we want to know,

is this more common than we realise? I didn't know it was a thing you can do, but have you resigned from your family? I mean, I've thought about it. You would be reapplying for the position in your family annually. Thank you very much. Yeah, that's true.

Each Christmas you'd be going home and saying, Mum, I'm sorry for another rough year. Can I please have another 12-month contract? Yeah, sorry. They've thought about resigning me multiple times. Jasmine has though. Hi, Jasmine. Hi, Jazz.

Hi. Happy New Year. Happy New Year. Did you resign from your family? Yes. Yes, I did. So what happened? Can you tell us the story? Yeah, so basically I find all of my family members quite toxic

And especially my sister, so I can't have her on any of my social media accounts Because she would post inappropriate stuff on my social media about me. So I just did a full cull and even moved countries like Megan and I. I was going to say, because you've got an accent. Are your family, where are you from? England. Right, and they're all back home. Yeah. Do they know where you are?

Yes, they do. Sorry to hear that, by the way. It must have been quite a traumatic process to get yourself to a point where you went, I need to annex my entire family. Has it been the right decision? Like, do you feel like you're a better person now that you've resigned from your own family? The best decision of my life.

What a strong person you are, Jaz. That's incredible. I would recommend it to anyone. It's not easy to begin with, starting off fresh, but I feel it's very empowering and very good for your mental health if you're in a bad situation. Do you have a partner? Yes, I do.

Are you married? Hopefully a ring will come my way this year. Is he listening right now? Yeah, yeah. Just one last question. When you got married, do you think you would extend an olive branch to your family? Would that be the moment where you said,

hey guys, this is a big moment, you need to come to my wedding? Or would you go, nah, it's not worth it? Nah. No. No way. You are a strong, like, self, you know what's going on with you. Yeah, you're an independent woman. Good for you.

Thanks for sharing with us too. Stacey's here. Hi, Stacey. Hi, Stace. Hi, how are you going? Good. Give us the 411. Did you resign from your family, Stacey?

I did resign from my family. My mother is a self-absorbed narcissist. Tell us what you actually think, though. Give us the honest description. Don't hold back, Stacey. Yeah, don't hold back. She can't hear me. She's back home in Aussie. Yeah. It sounds like New Zealand

might be the safe haven for people who have left their own family. Yeah, that's what I think. Maybe Harry and Megan are coming to take up residence in Warnacup. Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. Maybe Harry and Meghan are coming to take up residence in Warnacup. Yeah, they could be. Has it been, the last person said it was a raging success. Has it been the best thing you've ever done, Stacey, resigning from your own family?

Oh, absolutely. Like, because mother basically turned everyone in my family against me, one by one, and I sort of slowly lost all that support. But moved over here to hubby's family family and they've just been nothing but supportive. And yeah, it's been really, really good. Yeah, if you don't like your family, find a new, better one. Yeah, right. Yeah, pretty much.

Thankfully, I married into an awesome one. Get yourself adopted as an adult. Yeah. That's it. Hey, good for you. We're really glad to hear from you too. And we're glad that it's worked out for you when you handed in your letter of resignation,

oh, by the way, is that how it happened? Did you go to your mum and you go, hey, I'm leaving, or did you just go? There was a lot more expletives involved, but yeah, that was pretty much it. Yeah, right. Okay. It was a way less civil version of that.

Totally. Wow. I mean, sucks for anyone who has to find themselves in a situation where they need to do that. But good that it's worked out for those people, right? Yeah. No, it's good to hear people who are happy and, you know, made the right decision for them. Play.

Zedin's Brie and Clint. Groovy. Damn, that's skanky. Bake for real in 2021. Cheers to mobile. Giving Kiwis more rewards for more summer adventures.
