The ZM Podcast Network. ZM's Brianne Clint. The ice cream dripping on your jandals edition. Best of Coolers Part 1. I saw this online and I was quite shocked by it too, but everyone online is very, very confused when a very famous person has uploaded a video of themselves talking. Well, it was actually a live stream.

It was a live stream on Instagram and everyone was like, a minute is that what that person sounds like very confused i want let's play the clip and then let's see if you can guess who it is i recorded a sick song today sick song it might seem a bit weird, because I went over to the computer and looped a couple of things for, like, maybe four bars, just to listen to that because I didn't want to play the whole shit. That's all I have to say. So he's a musician. Bring it down.

Yeah, yeah, he's a musician. Musician. Who is that person? Is it Lewis Capaldi? No. Who is it? I'll give you one more guess. Is it a member of One Direction?

No? I don't know. What's your last guess? Well, I'm asking you for a clue. Is it a member of One Direction? No, I'm not giving you a clue. Fine. Is it Liam?

No. Is it... I don't know. No, I've got no idea. It's Zayn Malik. Oh, it is a member of One Direction. Yeah. Is it because he was quite, like, softly spoken

and didn't talk that much in the band? Is that why people are confused? Well, he doesn't sound like this. When he's talking there, he doesn't sound like that, does he? Yeah, but no one sounds like their accent when they sing. I think I expected him to sound more posh is what it is.

And this guy's very like... I recorded a sick song today. Sick song. He kind of sounds like Robbie Williams. I like it. I think it makes him more relatable.

Compu-ah. I mean, he dates Gigi Hadid for God's sake. He needs to be relatable somewhere. Totally. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, Buzzy, that's an interesting, that's a really interesting one. Isn't that interesting?

Yeah. I wanted to play a game this afternoon. I don't know if it'll work, but I wanted to see if, I want to know if people can put on a different voice to what they actually have. Right. Like, good enough that it can trick us into thinking it's their real voice. Okay, this game's twofold.

Because it's perfect for people who can do a convincing voice to call us. Yeah. It's also perfect for people who have a weird voice. Yes, exactly. Like if you naturally have a weird voice, call us and talk, and we'll try and guess whether it's your real voice or you're doing a voice. Yeah, so we're going to guess real or fake voice.

No racist accents allowed. Yeah. We've already talked about this. I think that's the only stipulation. That's the only rule. Yeah. Yeah, we would not be putting you there. You can put on a voice

and we'll try and guess if it's fake or not or you can do your real voice and we'll try and guess if it's real or not. Yeah, you can call up just with your real voice and we can try and guess.

0800 dial ZM. Can't text us for this one. You've got to call. We'll play next. Bree and Clint. Not a huge uptake on this game that we're about to play, but that's okay. We're easing back into the year, aren't we? We're taking things slowly. We'll take what we can get. And what we can get is

Trent. The game is, you call up and we need to decide whether the voice you're doing is your real voice or you're doing a fake voice to try and trick us. No racist accents. No racist accents allowed. Thank you very much. There are, believe it or not,

there are spaces still available for this game. So if you'd like to play, you can call 0800- There are a couple. Dial ZM right now. You'll get straight through. But let's play. You know, we've come this far. Let's play.

Maybe we'll play again, or maybe we'll just forget about it. ZM's Brian Clint. Best of Coolers, part one. I had fun. Maybe we'll play again or maybe we'll just forget about it. What's the biggest lie that you've told that got out of hand? I overheard this story where a woman was talking about when she was younger. She was about 12, she said. And when she was 12, her mum and her brother and her did the paper run. Right. Where they would all earn some money, which the mum would take all the money apparently. Really?

She would wake the kids up and they would all have to do the paper run, like really early. Anyway, she decided that she would come up with this lie to get out of doing the paper run. The daughter would? The daughter would, where she said to her mum that she had pain in her hips. Oh, no. Like she had really bad hip pain. Yeah. Anyway, apparently she got taken to a doctor and the doctor was like,

yeah, she's got something called hip dysplasia. Oh, no. Or something like that. And the daughter at that point was like, I just have to go with this. She ended up in hospital. She ended up in a brace. She must have actually had hip dysplasia. Or was it all going off her fake symptoms?

Surely they do an x-ray to confirm. They don't just take a 12-year-old at their word. Well, she didn't have an operation, but she just said, she goes, I went with everything because it got me out of having to get up early. And she committed to the lie, she said, for a year. Well, this is a real case of do a pros and cons list. Yeah. Pro, well, con, you're in hospital.

Pro, you don't have to get up early and do the paper run. Pro, people bring you food. Con, you don't have to get up early and do the paper run. Pro, people bring you food. Con, you're in hospital and they might perform some bone-breaking operation on your head. I mean, that is a minor con. So you don't have to do that paper run, though. Yeah, that's one of those ones where she, and you would feel, especially as a 12-year-old, that you were so far down the rabbit hole with the lie that you couldn't come clean.

Got to commit. Yeah, or couldn't commit, yeah. Got to commit to the lie. Because you just think that your mum would be so angry at you if she found out that you couldn't come clean. Gotta commit. Yeah. Well, could've committed, yeah. Gotta commit to the lie. Because you just think that your mum would be so angry at you if she found out that you were lying. When in actual fact, the mum would probably just be relieved to know that you didn't have hip dysplasia. Hip dysplasia.

Yeah. Oh, thank goodness. Yeah, I know. By the way, you're doing the paper run by yourself for the next three months. And then you're like, yeah. Your brother needs some time off. Rough. Did you ever tell lies as a kid? I'm trying to think. like, yeah. Your brother needs some time off. Rough. Did you ever tell lies as a kid?

I'm trying to think. Oh, yeah. I got given glasses when I was in year seven. And mum used to say to me, how's it going with your glasses at school? And I refused to wear the glasses because I didn't want to get bullied for wearing the glasses. Fair enough. So I used to come home every day. She'd go, how's the glasses?

Good. Yeah, they're going good. Yeah. You weren't wearing them. Feeling so much better. Yeah. Helping so much every day. How's the glasses?

And then I came home. How's the glasses? I said, oh, great day. Oh, honestly, they were so helpful. And then she was holding the glasses. She goes, you're not even taking them to school. Yeah, see, that's a flaw in your lie. That is a flaw.

You need to think these things through. But I didn't want to get, yeah, yeah. I should have just worn the glasses. But glasses are cool now. They are, yeah. Like people lie about having to have glasses now. But you know, this 12-year-old, you know when you're 11, you think everything's such a bigger deal than it actually is.

Yeah, I know. I know. We want to know from you this afternoon on 0800DIALS at M. You might not have been a kid. It might be a lie that you're still keeping up today, like right now. What's the biggest lie that you've had to keep going? Did you use a fake name on your first day of work and then you ended up working there for like three years?

The biggest lie that I've ever told that I had to keep going was when I started dating this guy who was a surfer and on the first date he asked me if I was a good surfer and I told him yes because it was in wintertime and I was like, I'm not going to have to prove anything. And then we ended up dating for a fair while and I had to break up with him. So you didn't have to serve in front of him.

Yeah. Should have told him you had hip dysplasia. I'd love to get out there, but I've got hip dysplasia. You've got that hip dysplasia. 0800 dial ZM. We can keep you anonymous, or you can text your biggest lies that you had to keep going to 9696. What's the biggest lie that you kept going?

There is some doozies coming in on this. People who just, I don't know if it's stubbornness or if it's just you're in too deep and you can't get out. So you have to keep going. There's some crazy ones. Let me just read out a few on the text machine. Someone texted her and they said, I own a failing business, but my boyfriend thinks I'm rich.

Oh. That's hard, isn't it? Because you should be able to talk to your boyfriend and, you know, confide in him. Yeah. Well, you'll find out if he's into you for your money or not pretty quickly. Well, that's true, yeah. It's going to be a good baptism of fire for the relationship.

Someone else said my girlfriend still doesn't know that I have a tattoo. After two years I've kept it hidden with a bandage. What? What does she think you've done to your wherever it is? For two years? You've had a bandage over it. Yeah, buzzy. And why does she, oh, do you think it's an ex-girlfriend's name,

the tattoo? Because what tattoo would be so bad that you couldn't tell your girlfriend about it? It could be an ex-girlfriend's name. I dated someone and they had an ex's name tattooed on them. What part of their body? It was their ribs. Oh, yeah.

Fairly visible. Made me feel weird. I didn't like it, eh? We want to know from you guys your biggest lie that you did. Hi, Louise. Hi, Louise. Hi, how are you? Good, thanks.

What's the biggest lie that you kept up? So it's actually my mum. For years, her work has always given her flowers, but she's actually severely allergic to them and has to give them away every time. No! But she's never said anything because she feels bad. No.

It's too late to say something because then they would go, we've given you like 50 bunches of flowers. Why didn't you say something earlier? bad. No. It's too late to say something because then they would go, we've given you like 50 bunches of flowers. Why didn't you say something earlier? Exactly. Yeah. It's way too late. She does have to take antihistamines on her birthday or any special occasions or something like that before she goes to work.

Hi, Kelsey. Hi, Kelsey. Hi. Give it to us, Kelsey. What's the lie? So for the last seven years, I have been telling a lie to my employers, saying that I have a degree to get where I want in my career.

Wait, wait, wait, wait. You're not like a doctor or something, are you? No, no, no, no, no. You're not a structural engineer, are you? She's an engineer, yeah. No, no. I don't deal with people's lives and safety. Right.

It's all good. Can we ask the industry? Yes. I work in film and TV no way yeah I'm the I started with radio I didn't have my degree

yeah to be honest I have no qualifications for this job nobody's ever asked or followed up so no one does that's the funny thing

you say you say I've got a I've got a bachelor of media and they go prove it no one ever says show me the piece of paper. And I don't have an office,

so I don't need to display it on the wall either. I hope they do that for doctors. I hope that when you go and you apply for a job at the hospital, they're like, can we see some paperwork? Let's hope they check. Yeah, I think so. Yeah, good. Yeah, let's hope so.

This text is my absolute favourite. I need to read this out. We're talking about biggest lies that you kept up. Someone texted her and they said, I told someone that I was dating that I was fluent in French and my mum was born there. When she finally met my parents, I had to convince my mum to continue speaking to me in broken French

and I told the missus that she had lost her accent. Why would you not come clean at that stage? No, you commit. Your mum loves you. If your mum is willing to go in on this ruse with you, your mum loves you. Can you just imagine walking in and going, hey mum, so I need you to do something for me

and then telling her and then your mum being like, oh, God. She says, pardon? God damn. She don't, she didn't. Our last caller wants to remain anonymous. Hi, Anonymous. Hi, guys. So I lost my job over COVID.

I was very redundant. And they said, once everything's, like, settled back down, we would love to have you back. Okay. And I loved the pay of the job, but I didn't like the job at all. So when they were like, okay, we'll come in and get stuff sorted. So I didn't really want to come back at all. So when I went in, I said, oh, actually,

I'm not planning on going back to work because I'm pregnant. And that was the first thing that came into my head. And they're like, oh, so what do you do? And I was like, oh, shoot. So if I'm three months, like I had to do the math so quickly in my head. So apparently I have, I've got a baby that was born in October. I sent through ultrasound pictures and everything because people were trying to be like, oh, my God, like, what do you do? And I've just like befriended everyone now.

Are you serious? What did you get for the baby shower presents? No, they didn't send anything because I was just like, oh, no, everything's going good and stuff, but people were trying to, like, message me. No, wait, so what's your fake baby's name? Um, Carter. Carter. Carter.

Carter. After. I just said I was having a boy. Wow. Oh, my God. All right, well. This, I feel like you win the phone topic. Yeah, yeah.

Because your lie is the epitome of a lie that went too far. Are you technically on fake maternity leave right now? No, I'm working. Yeah, I just go to people and I avoid the area. It's like a fuck up. I'm like, oh, my God, oh, my God. Oh, my God. ZM's Bree and Clint.

Best of Coolers, part one. Teaser before, someone on the show has had a bit of a cry state. It's been an emotional day. There's a bit of a loss. There has been a loss. There's been a loss. There has, yeah. There's a bit of loss. There's been a loss. There's some grieving going on. Someone

has had an important part of their life taken from them. I'm trying to make this as serious for you as possible because... You're taking the piss out of me. A little bit. But I think people will relate.

Okay. I think they will. So you're willing to say, I don't want to cry shame you, you're willing to say it's you who cries it? I'm not ashamed of crying. No, I'm not ashamed of crying either. I think it's good. I think it's good too.

I mean, sometimes there is... I've never cried about this though. No, and I think sometimes, you know, you do cry about silly things, but that is me. I definitely do that. Let me set the mood for you. When you're ready, tell us what upset you so much today. Today, I said goodbye to a member of my family.

That member was my 2012 Mitsubishi Lancer. And you know what? You're taking the piss. But I said to you, I sold it to these lovely people who were from Foxton and they came to the airport and I went out to the airport to drop it to them. And it was a lovely woman. She bought it for her daughter. Yeah.

Her daughter's first car, which nice first car. Nice first car, yeah. Lovely first car. Especially with the Rimsbury put on it. Yeah, it looks awesome. It's a good car. Good looking car. Yeah.

And I wasn't emotional. Like I drove it out there, didn't even think about it. Did you clean it out? I cleaned it out. It looked real schmick. It looked lovely. Did you find any of your 2013 CDs that you listen to. Did you check the CD player?

You joke. Oh, I left something in the CD player. We can get it back. Anyway, as I handed them the keys, I kind of choked up a little bit. And I was like, I said to them, I was like, you enjoy it? She did right. I was like, she's been a good girl. She enjoys a big drink of 91.

And then I get into my partner's car and I cry. And my partner goes, why are you crying? Why are you crying, yeah. And I go, this is what I said, I've had so many memories in that car.

And I'm never going to see her again. That's the thing you will see it again. It's New Zealand. One day you'll drive past it on State Highway 1 and you'll go, was that my car? I think that was my car. And every black Mitsubishi Lancer you see from this day forward, you'll wonder. I'll look for her in crowds. Is that my car? Yeah.

I'll look for her. So real tears over selling a car. I had real tears. I kind of get it because I can see, I know you and I know the emotional attachment you put on things. You bought that car yourself and when you bought it, it was brand new. So you would have worked hard to get that car. Oh, yeah. You transported that car over here from Australia, even though I told you it was a stupid idea.

And I agree with you. And that we have secondhand Mitsubishi Lancers in New Zealand. We could have got you another one if you love them so much. It was a little piece of home. Yeah. And it signifies your journey over here. But at the end of the day. Absolutely.

I'm going to cry again. I don't want to talk about it anymore. Stop. If the family are listening at the moment, probably reached Topol by this stage. Just know that car you're driving right now. It's been well loved. It's a Taonga. It's a special thing in Bree's life, just know that car you're driving right now. It's been well loved. It's a taonga. It's a special thing in Bree's life, you know.

And I know because I saw the girl, her eyes light up. I know it sounds so stupid, but I looked at her and I thought, you're going to really enjoy this car and it's going to a good home. She's going to cry again. This is too good. We want to know this afternoon, what did you cry about? And by that, I mean things that people probably find a bit silly that you cried about. Something you thought you would never cry about.

Something that maybe you can even admit is stupid to cry about. Yeah. I want to have a little group of people on this afternoon that doesn't make me feel so silly. 0800 DIAL ZM. Or you can text it to us on 9696 Maybe my car's listening to us right now Maybe she is Maybe she's got us on the dial

We're talking about stupid things that you cried about Because today Brie said goodbye to her car She sold it I've had it for 10 years And I've grown up in that I've grown up in that car You were so melodramatic about it. I can't.

I don't know. I've got an attachment to things. It's been sold. It's gone to Foxton to a young girl who's going to have just as many adventures as you had in it. And it made me like I was able to give it away because I knew it was going to a good home. So we're asking what did you cry about? I've got another car-based one that's coming on the text machine for you. I'm just going to read you.

Okay. And I read you. Okay. And I think you'll relate. So what did you cry about? I wrote my car off mid last year. And when I went to the car yard to get everything out of it, I cried like a baby. Knowing that she was dead and never going to be loved again was horrible. That's horrible.

I didn't want to leave her there. She's in a better place now. She's not. No, she is. She's in a small aluminium square. They go to heaven too. So what did you cry about? Oh, $800 at M.

Eilish. Hi, Eilish. Hi. Hi. What did you cry about? One time when me and my boyfriend used to live about 10 minutes out of town, we had gone and got burgers, and when I got home, I dropped mine and I just started bawling.

I would cry over that too. Did your boyfriend do the right thing and give you his burger or at least half of his burger? I think he offered while he was trying not to laugh at me as well that year. Oh, no. Someone on the text machine, very relatable to me. They said, I cried over selling my Lancer as well. She went to the scrap gods.

I had a lot of good and bad memories in her and I still tear up looking at photos of her. Maybe it's a Mitsubishi thing. Could be. Maybe the three diamonds represent individual tears. Tina is here. Hey, Tina. Hey.

Hi. What did you cry about? So this was very recently, and I just cried because it was the last episode of my favorite, favorite TV show. Yeah. And I think the favorite of millions. Yeah. Oh, my God. What TV show was it? What favourite of millions. Yeah. Oh my God,

what TV show was it? What show? The Big Bang Theory. No, you get out of here, Tina. No, Tina! That's Bree's favourite show as well. I will cry angry tears. No, Tina.

You know better than that, Tina. Listen to Tina laughing her head off. Yeah, she was sad then. No, that's that, Tina. Listen to Tina laughing her head off. Yeah, she was sad then. No, that's good, Tina. You had me so hooked. I was like, oh, what TV show? And then you dropped that on the show.

Thanks, Tina. Have a great afternoon. Bye, Tina. Georgia is here. Hi, Georgia. Hey. What did you cry about? I cried about my car too.

Did you? Yeah, so I feel you. I sold it to a friend though, and so I'd always go to her house and we'd have some lemonades and I'd cry about it and even take selfies with it. With your car? So you'd go and visit her sometimes? Yeah, I do, I do.

The first time it was real hard and real emotional, but then after lemonades it was all shellfish. Oh, my God. Please tell me, did she... Crying in the shellfish. Did she recognise you after, like, when you went and saw her? I think so. I still felt the connection.

Yeah, I can still feel it now, even though I know the car's off down the country. You should have kept a key to her, just in case. I had to give that over. Just quickly, someone texted and said, I cried when my partner said Ronda Rousey was hot. And someone said, I cried when my flatmate ate my yogurt. Angry cry.

That's totally fair. I stood on a snail when I was pregnant and I called myself a murderer and I had to bury the snail. Yeah, but you've got a reason. You're pregnant. Someone else said, I cried over when my first cell phone was stolen because of all the memories and stuff that was on it.

Yeah. That's fair. I cried when I sold my first house. Same as selling a car. I will cry when we move out of our house. Of course. When my daughter was born, I will cry when we move out of the house.

You have an attachment to it. What if she was born in the car? What if your next baby's born in your new Audi? If my baby was born in a 2012 Mitsubishi Lancer, then maybe. Yeah, so maybe that's, you know, it could happen. Was away, obviously, for a little while and was working with someone who, it came out that the email that they're currently using in everyday life was youknowyouwantme underscore 68.

At hotmail.com. At hotmail.com. Wait, 68, not 69. 68, because it was cooler. Yeah, right. Because it eluded. Do you think this is a millennial thing? I don't think Gen Zs went through this phase of, because you didn't need a hotmail address to get on MSN Messenger when you think this is a millennial thing? I don't think Gen Z went through this phase of,

because you didn't need a Hotmail address to get on MSN Messenger when you're a Gen Z, did you? It's true. I think it's a millennial thing. We could check with our Gen Z quickly. Hey, Gen Z Anastasia, did you guys have an embarrassing email address? Did you have one?

Yeah, I definitely did. Mine was Little Miss Lufan. And before that it was IH the babysitter and the H was sp H the babysitter. And the H was spelt with an H. Yeah, nice. So cool. What about you, Producer Ben?

My mum told me when I made it that I'd have to make one with just my name so that when I'm an adult, I don't have to spell it out for everyone. Can you imagine if Emily went to apply for a home loan and you get an email from crazy Lou?

Little Twilight Kitten. How did you come up with Little Twilight Kitten? Oh, okay. I was 11, right? And by then, Twilight was all the rage. And I was like, oh, I love cats. I love Twilight. Let me just add the little in front of it because, you know,

it sounds a little bit cute and we'll just smash it all together. There you go. That's how little Wayne got his name. Yeah. Again, is this the email that is connected to your KiwiSaver currently? Oh, I don't know, but it's connected to my Facebook, so I see it quite regularly. Love it.

Okay. I need to read out this other text. Someone's texted through and they said, I think my sister takes the cake for tragic email addresses. Hers was xx.playbwee__pimpsess.xx at hotmail.com. That's right. Pimpsess. Pimpsess? Not princess. Pimpsess. No, hotmail.com. That's right. Pimpsess. Pimpsess?

Not princess. Pimpsess. No, you're cancelled with that email address. You are cancelled. Let's talk to Bryce. G'day, Bryce. Hi, Bryce. G'day.

Hey, Bree. Welcome back. Thank you, mate. Appreciate it. What was your email address, Bryce? Well, it still is. Bamfluff at Extra. What?

Let me agree. Bumfluff was taken? No, no. My nickname's Bam Bam, so they shortened it to Bam. And my wife's nickname was Fluffy, so we shortened it to Fluff. It's a Bam Fluff.

Are you the only New Zealander who still has an extra.co.nz email address? Oh, probably. I'd never even heard of that before. Extras used to be like what Spark is now. Right. And I'm sure they did a story on like Seven Sharp saying, we're shutting these down.

No. Wow. Wow, Bryce. I've only had that email, well, we've only had that email in 30 years, so. 30 years. 30 years. God, I feel old now. It was paradise.

It used to be paradise. Yeah, gotcha. Hey, thanks, Bam Fluff. We appreciate that. Hey, I feel old now. It was paradise. It used to be paradise. Yeah, gotcha. Hey, thanks, Bam Fluff. We appreciate that. Hey, I love it too, Bam Fluff. Shout out to becky.2mecky at hotmail.com. That's an active email address still being used at the age of 40. Luke's hiding in the bushes at hotmail.com has messaged us this afternoon.

That's not appropriate, Luke. Get out of the bushes. No, that's not appropriate. Let's talk to Amanda. Hi, Amanda. Hi, Amanda. Hi. It's not your email address. It someone else's what was it yeah so i'm a graphic designer and i was doing somebody's wedding invitation and you know how people put an rsvp um email address yeah and most people

oh you put it on the wedding invite yeah printing this on hundreds of wedding invites totally okay and it's going out to know, your new husband's family members. Yes. And most people would make an email address like Amanda's wedding at Gmail. But this person didn't. And it was Carla is a skanky chick at Hotmail. On her wedding invite? Yes.

Carla is a skanky chick. Sorry, what was the number on the end of that? Yeah, it probably did have a number, but yeah, I don't know. ZM's Brianne Clint. Best of Coolers, part one. It will be Team New Zealand and Terehutai making history on the hauraki. The old mug is Aotearoa's again. Yes, boys.

Fuckin' nice. Enjoy the moment, boys. Just a quick update for you guys. There she is. The America's Cup is staying in New Zealand. God, imagine being an Irish Kiwi today. Oh, that's me. That's me.

I was going to say, isn't that you? Someone text my wife, tell her I'll be late home. Imagine being an Aussie Italian today. Oh, yeah. Oh, that's me. The only way this day could get better is if my baby arrived tonight. That would be a good day. Wouldn't that be a three-peat?

Well, didn't last time... And I went lotto. Your first baby came when the World Cup cricket was on? Oh, God. Someone messaged me today and they said, I've just listened to a podcast that Lucy was on talking about her birth and she said she went into labour when New Zealand was in the Cricket World Cup semifinal and now today we're in the final of the America's Cup.

Another big sporting event. Yeah. Does that mean Tui is going to play cricket and then this baby is going to be in sailing? I can't afford for a child to be in sailing. Yeah, put them into skiing. Oh no, mate. No, not skiing. Put them into golf. No. Can't afford golf. Horse? No.

Let them play rugby. Rugby sounds good. Rugby. Netball. Netball, not bad. There's plenty of casual you know, casual teams. Yeah, big day, big day. Something I wanted to talk about because I noticed this when I was away and I was working with a lot of different people on this job

and one of the new people that I met, her name was Roxanne. Right. And when she introduced herself to me, like no one called her that. No. But she goes, oh, hi, I'm Roxanne. Right. And when she introduced herself to me, like no one called her that. No. But she goes, oh, hi, I'm Roxanne. Right. And the first thing I did was this. You loser. I can't help it. She would have had this her whole life, her whole life. And then I had to apologize to her and she goes, don't worry, it happens all the time. And then the next day I sang the other one. You guys, you know, I finally got past the other song

and, like, there's a new generation and not everyone has heard it. Yeah, you'd hope it was fading away. And then this damn song came out. Yeah, you'd hope it was fading away. This damn song came out. Yeah, Stink Buzz. It's one of those things where

like, depending on her age, I reckon this, how old is Roxanne? She's 27. So she can blame her parents because the

Sting and the Police song Roxanne existed. Would be their era. Yeah, it's like me calling my next kid Gangnam Style. Oh, yeah. You know? You can blame your parents for that.

Yes. But it's the people who already have their name when a song comes out like this. That's who I feel sorry for. Them and their mum. Why are you doing that? Yeah. Songs can ruin someone's name.

Characters on shows can ruin people's names. Like imagine if your name was Katniss. I feel so bad for all the Katnisses out there. You know? They were just trying to live their life in the Katniss way. What if you're a 23-year-old bad baby? You know? But, you know, there's also not just movie characters

but, like, sayings. Like, obviously, can I speak to the manager? Oh, Karen. Yeah, we talked to my auntie Karen. Yeah, like Karen. The name Karen has got a really bad rap lately. Yeah, and all the Karens absolutely had their name beforehand. Exactly.

Arguably, Karen ruined the name for themselves. Like, that's a different one. See, and this is why. Not my auntie. She's a wonderful person. It ruined it for them. But the majority of Karens, you ruined it for yourself. But see, we don't know that.

And if you don't like what I just said, you can speak to my manager. Ross Boss. Let's talk to people this afternoon who have had their name ruined. By something. By something. By something. It can be a song, a TV show with a character in it. A saying. Like, damn, Daniel.

Imagine being called Daniel in 2016. Back at it again with the white fans. What a nightmare. Damn, Daniel. 0800 dial ZM or text us on 9696 this afternoon. We want to know how your name got ruined. Even better if it's a song because then we can play it. And it'll be fun because it's on the radio.

If you missed it, Team New Zealand have retained the America's Cup, beating Luna Ross. There's seven races to three. There is about to be an enormous party down in the viaduct. And hopefully where you are too. A good night ahead for all of New Zealand. Very good. down in the viaduct and hopefully where you are too. A good night ahead for all of New Zealand. Very good.

We're talking about times names have been ruined by things like songs, TV characters, sayings, all of the above. Things entering the cultural zeitgeist that you have no control over that mean that people called Roxanne just can't live a normal life without hearing. Roxanne. You know? And Bree did it to a Roxanne just can't live a normal life without hearing... Roxanne! You know?

And Bree did it to a Roxanne last week. Was there any part of you that thought she'd never heard that gag before? No, I didn't even mean to do it because I hate that, like, when people do that and I hear it, but it just comes out. So we're asking you what ruined your name. I can already figure this one out. Oh, this one's easy. Jeremiah, welcome to the show.

Wait, wait. Hey, Jeremiah, hold on. We got something for you. Jeremiah was a bullfrog. How many times a day do you think you hear that song being recited back to you, Jeremiah? I reckon I probably hear it

at least every second day. Oh, you poor thing. Don't know how old you are, but what came first, you or the song? Definitely the song. Yeah, right. So your parents knew what they were doing. Yeah, they knew. They were punishing me.

But do you bring joy to the world? Like, is it an appropriate song? I believe I do. Or are you a bull from? Jeremiah was a bull. Love it, Jeremiah. Thank you. Let's go to Jason. G'day, Jason.

G'day, Jase. How's it? Fairly common name. What ruined your name? Jason Derulo. To be honest, Jason Derulo ruined his own name too. Whenever you interview Jason Derulo, did you know that you're not allowed to sing his name?

Well, he's made that very hard. I know he's made it very hard. It's one of the stipulations when you interview Jason Derulo. Question, Jason. You don't have a last name that sounds like Derulo? No, no. Okay. That would have been really bad for you. God, imagine if you marry Anne-Marie Derulo. No, no. Okay. That would have been really bad for you.

You've got to imagine if you marry Anne-Marie Derulo. Oh, no. Wouldn't that be a... Not good. Yeah, well, I guess you could keep your own name. That's kind of how marriage works. Anyway, moving on. Thanks, Jason.

Let's talk to Jenny. Hi, Jenny. Hello, Jenny. Hi. Hello, Jenny. Jenny. You know exactly where this is going, don't you? Oh, love you, Jenny. No, is going, don't you?

I love you, Jenny. No, no. Why don't you love me, Jenny? Sorry, you would know. You would have heard it every day in high school. How many times have you actually seen Forrest Gump, the movie, Jenny? Probably about three or four. Oh, yeah. It's a pretty good movie.

Can you still enjoy it? Or does it bring back too much? A little bit flashback trauma but not too bad. Well thanks for calling today. Thank you. Oh poor Jenny.

Jenny! Finally let's talk to Anonymous. This is saucy. Anonymous, hello, welcome to the show. Hi. We don't even know your name. What ruined your name? Big Bang Theory. Wait, are we talking to Sheldon?

You do ask. Your name is not Sheldon. It is Sheldon. You're a lady with the name Sheldon. I am indeed. Wait, Sheldon, have I just found another person that hates the Big Bang Theory as much as me? Yes, you have.

Welcome, Sheldon. Oh, my God. Bazinga. Stop it. No. Bazinga, everybody. Five minutes to it upstream. Stink buzz.

You poor thing, Sheldon. I'm so sorry. I get the knock-knock penny joke as well quite a lot. See, I wish I knew these references, but I don't. Yeah. Oh, well. Lean into it, I guess. Get the T-shirt.

Get the Bazinga T-shirt and enjoy the rest of your life. Lean into it. Someone just texted her and they said, my cousin Rebecca is a hairdresser, so she's always Becky with the good hair. That's great. ZM's Bree and Clint. Best of Coolers, part one.

I don't want to build this next story up, but this might be the craziest story of coincidence you hear at least today. Okay. All right. This is, this, and being serious, this blew my mind. Like if you're someone who believes in like things happen for a reason or like. The universe. The universe type of things, you wait to hear this story.

More and more I do recently. So I've got a very open mind going into this story. Okay, good. Because this is about to blow your mind then. So if you listen to our show, you would know that last year I got a can terrier and named her Whitney Houston. Correct, yeah, your little puppy. She's about seven months old now and she is an absolute terror, but I love her very much. Anyway, named her Whitney Houston because I picked out

the name way before I even got her. Yeah. Remember I told you I was like I want to name her Whitney Houston because I love Whitney Houston. She's an icon and anyway that was just going to be the dog's name. Anyway, so I can't believe we've I've only just figured this out. So I went over to my friend T's house the other day. Yes. And she also has a couple of canned terriers. And we were sitting there and we were talking about, because she was talking about what their birthdays are. And then she said to me, oh, when's Whitney's birthday?

And I said, oh, I think it's on the 9th of August. Wait, let me check. And then I got out her puppy book and it says in her puppy book, the 9th of August. Right. And then my friend T goes, that's so weird. That's my birthday. As in her birthday, not her dog's birthday. Yeah, T's birthday. Right, okay, yeah, yeah, yeah.

And I was like, whoa, that's crazy that you guys have the same birthday. That's so buzzy. Yeah. Anyway, she goes, oh, I get it now why you called her Whitney Houston. And I was like, what do you mean? She goes, that's Whitney Houston's actual birthday. No, it's not. Really? Google it.

Producer Ben, Google it and put it on the screen. I said to her, I was like, you're having me on. Because that would make sense if you knew Whitney Houston's birthday and you're like, oh, the dog was born on the birthday, I'll name the dog Whitney Houston. But you had the name before the dog. Yes. And you couldn't have picked what date the dog was going to be born on.

No, because it's whenever. Come on, is that not the biggest coincidence you've ever heard? Wow. Okay. I was so spaced out and I was like, wait. So then I went home and I checked. Look, in

her puppy book, it says the 9th of August. And Ben's brought it up on the screen. Whitney Houston was born on the 9th of August 1963. Wow, that is quite freaky. Far out. Do you think Whitney Houston, the Whitney Houston has come back reincarnated

as my dog? Well, your dog is quite loud. She's got some lungs on her. So did T know that that was Whitney Houston's birthday because she knows that she shares a birthday with Whitney Houston? Yes. So she only knew that was the Whitney Houston's birthday because her birthday is on the 9th of August.

And then when she said it, I was like, no, that's not true. You know what's even weird a bit about that coincidence? That T also has the same dog as you. Wait, get this, get this. Probably not as good. One of her dogs is born on the same day as my mum. Oh, wait. You get a slightly quieter explosion.

Yeah, but still. Still. There's a lot of crossover going on here. So either your dog is Whitney Houston or T is your sister. Crazy coincidence though. You've got to give it to me. Yeah, I'll give it to you. Wild. It blew my mind when I figured it out.

It blew my mind. And these things happen to people where you go, there's no way this can be a coincidence. Like it's too much. Too much has happened here for this to just be a coincidence. And this is what I believe. She picked me. She was meant to be my dog. And this is what I believe. She picked me. She was meant to be my dog. I honestly believe in that stuff.

Right. Because, I mean, you know, 365, one in 365 chance. Okay, I'll stop now. But I was quite amazed. Let's take some calls from people this afternoon who have a story and a moment that made you go. Like the coincidence was just too big. Can you do that for us?

Can you tell us a story and then reveal something? And if it's good, we'll give you that. We'll give you that. Yeah, okay? 0800 dials it in with your best coincidences. Maybe your dog, Freddie, was born on the same day as Freddie Fittler. Oh, Mercury, that's a good one, yeah. Brace yourself, because if you haven't heard this yet,

I've just told the biggest coincidence story ever that you've heard on this show. I got a dog last year. Before I even got the dog, I'd named her Whitney Houston because I love Whitney Houston. Anyway, on Saturday, my friend informs me because she said, when's Whitney's birthday? And I said, oh, in her puppy book, I think it's the 9th of August.

She goes, oh, is that why you named her Whitney Houston? I was like, what are you talking about? She goes, that's the real Whitney Houston's birthday. And she knew because it's also her birthday. Yes! And she's got the same dog as you. Yes! My dog that I named Whitney Houston before I got her has

the same birthday as the real one. I'll give you that one. That's a huge coincidence. Pretty big. It's quite mind-blowing. And we've asked you to share stories with us this afternoon that will get the same reaction. Now, there's no guarantee that it's going to get the same reaction. And I feel we'd be doing a disservice to give a...

to someone who caught up and go, my boyfriend's got the same McDonald's order as me. Nah. So there's that. You need to earn it. There's that. And then there's that. You need to earn it. There's that. And then there's this. You're going to get one or the other.

It doesn't cut it if you get that. There's no in between. Sine. Hi. Hi, Sine. Hello. How are you guys? We want you to blow our minds with your coincidence.

So please, when you're ready, tell us what happened. Okay. So my best friend we met when we were three years old. We've been friends for 18 years now. Our parents didn't know each other before, but we were actually born on each other's due dates. You were born on each other's due dates? Due dates, yes.

So when you were born, she was born? Yep. And when she was born, you were born? Yep. That makes sense. Yep. No way. So, Sine might, yep. No, wait. So, Sinead, your due date, let's say it was March 25th,

your best friend was born on March 25th, and then whatever her due date was, you were born on that day. Yep. And we, oh. Sorry, Sinead. I was waiting for a twist. Sorry, Sinead. I wanted there to be a twist in the tale. I did.

Honestly, I did. It was close. It was so close. It was so close. Really close. And then you should check in. And then we got married. And our kids were born on our due dates. Yeah.

It's so close. We love you. Thank you for calling. Thanks, Sinead. Let's go to Mel. Hi, Mel. Hi, Mel. Hi.

Now you know that this game's hard now, Sinead. Let's go to Mel. Hi, Mel. Hi, Mel. Hi. Hi. Now you know that this game's hard now, right? It's a lot of pressure here now. We need to blow our minds, Mel. Okay. I'll try. I'll try. Go on.

So, went on holiday to a really remote part of the country, stayed in this lighthouse. The wind is whistling all around, and there's a toilet outside. And in that toilet outside. And in that toilet outside is a calendar. And the calendar's from 1984, and so this would have been about 2016. Yeah.

Okay. The calendar's 1984, and on that calendar, there is one date that was circled. No other date is circled, and I don't know why this was circled, but that date was the 4th of December and that's the date of my daughter's birthday, my sister's birthday and my grandfather who's died, that's his birthday too. Okay, you got us. You got us. Thank you.

You got us. You took us there. It's more creepy than coincidence. Did you ever find out why that date was circled? It's probably best not to, right? Don't look too deep into it. No, I think it was time to get out of the house when we saw that calendar. Oh, yeah, that lighthouse was meant to be in your future somehow. It could have been just something really, you know, innocent.

Like, that's the day that the guy who stayed at the lighthouse did a poo, and he's like, I need to mark that. The last time he did one. The last time I did one. Even then, still good coincidence. Still good. Darren, hi. G'day, Daz.

Hey, guys. How's it going? We've had one good, one not so good so far. There's a lot of pressure on you to take us out on a high, Darren. I'll blow your mind. Going back a few years ago, me and my mum were staying in a hotel, and my auntie came to visit us, but she went to the wrong hotel but the right room number, and the people that opened the door, their name were Darren and Shirley, which is my

name and my mum's name. That's some parallel universe shit. What? Yeah. They were staying in the exact same room number. So they knocked on the door, because they would have knocked on the door and gone, hi, is Daryl and Shirley here? And they would have gone, yes, who are you? And you would have gone, they would have gone, hi, is Daryl and Shirley here? And they would have gone, yes, who are you?

And you would have gone, they would have gone, you're not Daryl and Shirley. And they would have gone, yes, we are Daryl and Shirley. And then they would have went, nah, my name's Darren, not Daryl. Oh, yeah. Oh, Darren, sorry, yeah. But the hotel room number was the exact same room number. Yeah, the same room number. Are you all best friends now?

Well, we didn't meet him. Maybe my auntie's got a secret life. Yeah, right. All right, Darren, good work. That's good, Darren. You blew our minds. That was hard for me too. I really didn't want to play that far again. And I feel bad for the one time we did play it.

ZM's Bree and Clint. Best of Coolers, part one. A couple in the UK has made headlines this week after they said they've been together for 20 years, they've been married, they've got a son together, but they've never lived together. Yeah, the secret to their happy marriage was not living together. Exactly.

After the husband got a new job and had to move further away and then they had the trouble of finding their son a new school, they thought, now's the time. Let's give it a go. Let's give it a crack. I reckon they're doomed. Bree reckons that's a horrible thing to say, but I think mummy and daddy are getting a divorce. We want to know this afternoon, is it your secret to a happy relationship? Have you been in a long-term relationship and you guys have never lived together? Anna's here. Hi, Anna. Hi, Anna. Hi, guys. How are you going? Good, thanks, mate. How are you? Yeah, good. How long have you and your

partner been together, Anna? Almost eight years. And you've never lived together? He only just moved in with me last November. Whoa. He's been living with his parents in the meantime. Oh, my God. He's been living with his parents in the meantime. Oh, my God.

That's crazy. Eight years. Is it really weird living together now? Yeah, it is weird, but it took a while to get used to because I'm only 24. Right. Is it, and I mean, you don't have to tell us if you think he might be listening, but is it better?

No, it's great. It is really great. It is good. Okay. Can he cook? Can he cook? Is he a clean person to live with? No, he's not.

Love that, Anna. That's so great. Okay, baby steps. A few texts on the text machine. Someone said, my parents have been together for over 30 years and have always had their own houses. Wow. They did live together in my late teens for three years

and it was probably the worst time in their relationship. Back to two houses definitely made things better again. That's incredible. That's amazing. Two houses. It does work. The good thing is that you're going to inherit two houses. Clint always thinking with his wallet.

You know, you're like, mum, dad, I don't reckon you should fuse at all. I think you keep doing what you're doing. Someone else said, still living with my partner after 17, still with my partner of 17 years and we have never lived together. It works well. Wow. This person wants to remain anonymous. Hello, anonymous.

Hi, how are you? Good, thanks, anonymous. How long have you and your partner been together? 17 years. Wow. And never lived together at all? No, never lived together. What's the longest time you guys have spent in one place together?

Like, have you been on holiday for a couple of weeks? Yeah, that's a great question. Probably three weeks. Wow, that's it. Three weeks. Yeah, that's probably the longest. And by the end of it, were you like, I need a break? Oh, not really.

No, it was good. You know, we sort of know each other, you know. Yeah. Know all about each other now. Are you married? No, not married. Hey, 17 years and you're not married either. No.

Wow, just taking things slowly. Very slowly. I love that, Anonymous. Good for you guys. Do what works for you. Totally. Yeah, it does. Okay.

That's great. Someone else on the text machine, this is probably the biggest one. Someone said, my dear friends Sue and Peter have been married for 27 years last Wednesday and they've never lived together. They maintain their own homes and have sleepovers two to three times a week. This arrangement is now a personal life goal for me. Wow. That's awesome.

It would be more exciting. It would That's awesome. It would be more exciting. It would be. Yeah. It would be. And if anyone has seen Sex and the City, the second movie, they do float the idea. Has anyone seen the second movie? Yeah, no, true.

ZM's Brianne Clint. Best of Coolers, part one. Okay, who's ready to get their mind blown? Me. Look, I'm not going to big note it, but I feel like I've got a story today that's nearly as good as the time I found out my dog Whitney Houston had the exact same birthday

as the real Whitney Houston, but we named her before we found out what dog it was going to be. Now, very shortly we're going to invite you to blow our minds just like that. But first, we like to set the tone. And so, Brie, you believe you've got – these are kind of like mind-blowing coincidences, aren't they? Yes, exactly. And I found this one on the interwebs. And it's a story from Australia, a true story.

And it's about a guy named Ray and a girl named Liz. So Ray and Liz, they met when they were about nine years old when their families were camping at the same campsite. Got it. Liz's family was from Tasmania. Ray's family was from Victoria. So they were from different states. Anyway, so they met when they were nine.

They really hit it off. They shared their lollies with each other and they had kind of like, you know, a really young... Like my girl. ...summer romance. Yeah. And they were childhood sweethearts. Anyway, after this, they kept in touch.

They swapped addresses and for the next eight years, they exchanged more than 100 letters. Wow. So they were pen pals, which is really cute. That's what happened back in the day before MSN or texting. Yeah. Because you wrote to each other. Or sexting.

Anyway. Everything sucks now. Anyway, so they then didn't see each other for quite a long time until they were quite a lot older. So they were around 18, 19, 20 years old. And just so happened that they were both at the same campsite again, their families. And Ray and Liz saw each other. They'd returned to Victoria. And Liz said to Ray, she broke the news to Ray that she was getting married. Right. So he was devastated about it. And anyway, they went their separate ways

and they never really talked to each other for a long time after that. So they went their separate ways. She got married. She had kids. He went off. He got married. He had kids. She then got married again and then was widowed by her second husband

and he ended up having a divorce. Anyway, so they're in their 60s now at this point, right? I'll just let you know. Yeah. If you were a caller, I would have farted you out by now. Hey. You're taking a long time to blow our minds. No, wait, you wait, you wait.

Okay. Anyway, so Liz's granddaughter had been trying to set her up for a long time. So she kept trying to set her up with all these different men or whatever. And anyway, Liz's granddaughter who lived in Tasmania was in Victoria. She was on a bus ride to somewhere and she got sat next to this older man and the older man said to her, oh, you know, I've been looking for someone. I've recently, you know, separated from my wife. And Liz's granddaughter said, oh, you should meet up with my great aunt.

She's an amazing person. Gave the guy her aunt's number and anyway they ended up calling each other they talked for ages about you know what they liked and he said I feel like I've known you forever anyway they decided they would meet up at the airport and when they saw each other at the airport they realized that they were the nine-year-olds that fell in love all those years ago at the same time. Nah, I disagree. Anastasia, that was a good story, wasn't it? I was hooked. He's right about the possibly length issue.

It took so long for you to blow our mind just then. And I realised about 45 seconds before it finished that they were going to meet up again. So it took the sting out of it. There wasn't enough sting left for me to... You know? Alright, well next time you have to bring story because so far I've been holding

this segment up. You know it's a hard job. I've been holding this segment up. You know it's a hard job being the one who decides but we've made an agreement that we had to be honest and I was being honest, okay? I felt like I was a bit hard done by. 0800 dial ZM can you blow our minds with a coincidence? Needs to be sna and I was being honest, okay? I felt like I was a bit hard done by. 0800 dial ZM. Can you blow our minds

with a coincidence? Needs to be snappy, okay? You've got to get to it. You've got to get in, get out quickly. But if you think you can, now's the time to call us.

Judging the ivory tower, isn't he? Okay? 0800 dial ZM and we'll see if you can blow our minds next. Bree and Clint. A lot of unhappy people on the text machine.

They're not happy with you. It's a big ask. Okay, it's a big ask to blow our minds. And I'm just saying, look, you came close. And I think, like we said last week, it's all in the telling. I just think that maybe you dilly-dallied a little bit. All right, next week, get ready for the best story ever told by our very own Clinton Roberts in the segment Blow Our Minds.

It's pre-empting it. But before that, this is where we ask you to call us up and tell us a mind-blowing coincidence story. Now, just be aware that we're not in control of how we respond. It's in the air. It's a feeling. It's a vibe. You heard how angry Bree got about it before.

We ask you to take it with a pinch of salt. No, I say get angry. Get angry, get even. That's what I say. The first person here to attempt to blow our mind wants to remain anonymous. Hello, anonymous. Hello, anonymous.

Hello. This is the first time we've had someone call up for this segment anonymously. Keep it snappy, okay? Get in there, get in, get out. When you're ready, blow our minds. Moortown Country School, about 80 to 90 kids. Went to primary, sweet as.

Mum, dad, happy childhood, married, yada, yada, yada. Went to high school. Halfway through high school, I seen this girl. She looked oddly just striking familiar to me. Never really crossed my mind. But then the more I went to high school, I seen this girl, she looked oddly, just striking familiar to me. Never really crossed my mind, but then the more I went to high school with her, throughout the two years, it still, it played with me. Anyway, two years later, I finished, just before

I finished high school, found out that she is my dad's other daughter. What? Secret sister! Secret sister! Anonymous, I'm from a small country town So I can relate to this a lot Everyone knows everything

So clearly dad was not playing golf Not enough holes at golf That was my response Depends if his other girlfriend's name was golf Whoa Clearly You did it Hey can I just say

You did it Snappy to the point You nailed it G'day, golf. How are you? Secret sister. Nailed it like my father. She's good.

Yep, he hit a four. That's a tough act to follow. Kieran's here. Hi, Kieran. That was a hole in one. Hey, guys. How's it going? All right, Kieran. Come on.

Yeah, that is a tough act to follow. However, I'm going to try and blame on. 1985, my parents are in Palmerston North area. They're at the Manawatu River. Yep. Frolicking in the river. My mum loses an engagement ring from my father, engraved. Fast forward 20-plus years, like mid-2000s.

Mum's at Foxton Beach, which is 25 to 30k away. Puts her hand in the sand, pulls her ring out. No! No. Kieran. Are you bloody kidding me? It's engraved, so she knows it's her ring. Yeah, it's engraved.

I've got the ring. I could, I don't know, I could show you guys. You swear, Kieran. You swear. What's your most loved thing? What car do you drive? Oh, do you know what? I swear on my Nissan Navara.

See, now I believe you. Wow. Kieran, you did it. I'm going to say that's nearly the best one of these we've ever had. Super tough act to follow now, Stephen. Hi. Hi. Oh, going third in this batch is really hard.

Can I say, we've never had a clean sweep. We've never had three from three. Stephen, come on. I believe in you. Okay. Well, I think I've got a pretty good one. So driving up from Hamilton to C660, getting public transport in on the bus, got chatting with four strangers. Don't know them. They're also out of town. They don't know

how to get to Eden Park. Said, follow us. We'll take you there. Got on the trains, get there, go our separate ways, go to our seats. They are sitting next to us. No! What? 50,000 people, consecutive seats. We're four, five, six, seven, eight in a row. That's wild. It's a clean sweep. Yeah, we'll give it to you, Stephen. 50,000. The odds are 50,000 to one.

Stephen, I don't know how you followed up Kieran's story, but you did it. And it was topical. It just happened on the weekend. It's topical, which made it better. Yeah. That was... It blew my mind.

I've been telling everyone. Yeah. We became instant friends. You couldn't help it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They're your soulmates, Stephen. They're your soulmates. You need to marry those people.

I'm already married. Cancel... Oh, yeah, I know, but, you know. Yeah, that was weird, Clint. Why did you do that? Cancel the game. ZM's Brian Clint. Best best of callers part one we're talking about uh the concept of psychological birth order um this guy called tristan collazo

who's a mental health counselor uh talks about how or suggests rather that psychological birth order uh is not merely the order you were born into that impacts your relationships but it's also the situation you were born into and the way you interpret it yeah he's saying that the order in which you were born dictates how you think and behave as a person yeah middle children behave in a certain way oldest children behave in a certain way youngest children behave i think he way. I think he's right. I think he's onto something. We have read none of the research

and this afternoon we are going to attempt to guess your birth order, you know, just with a couple of questions. It can't be how hard it could be. Simple as that. Let's get our first person on

for profiling. Oh, interesting. Their name is Bree. Hi, Bree. Hello, Bree. Hi. How do you spell that? B-R-I. Oh, Oh, interesting. Their name is Bree. Hi, Bree. Hello, Bree. Hi. How do you spell that? B-R-I.

Oh, okay. Interesting. Love it, Bree. Got to stick together us Bree's. Okay, Bree, I've got a question for you. We're both going to just probe you with one question to get to know you a little bit, and then we're going to guess your birth order. Can I ask, let's start simple.

What's your opinion on hand-me-down clothing? I feel like you've told us everything just there. You like it? Yeah. Okay. She's trying to throw us off. I know what she is. You've got to answer honestly, by the way, Brie.

Yeah, no, yep. Cool. Brie, answer this honestly. I know parents aren't meant to have favourites, but would you say you're their favourite child? Oh, nah, actually, no. Would you say you're not their favourite child? No.

Right, so she's not the youngest. I think she's the oldest. You reckon? Only the oldest thinks that hand-me-downs are awesome. I reckon she's middle. You think she's middle? Yeah. Brie, what are you?

I'm the youngest. Oh, we're both wrong. You're not your parents' favourite. No, I am the only girl, though. And you're the only girl. You're the favourite. You just don't want to admit it. You're being modest.

No. No favourite? No, wants to admit that they're the favourite. Yeah, that's so true. That's the thing about a favourite. Jennifer's here. Hi, Jennifer. Hi, Jen.

Hello. Okay, we're going to probe you a little bit with our psychological questions. This one is an ethical dilemma for you, okay? And I need you to answer honestly. If there was one Tim Tam left and you and one of your siblings both wanted the Tim Tam, would you halve the Tim Tam or would you rock, paper, scissors each other for the whole Tim Tam? Rock, paper, scissors. Right. You'd compete for the entire biscuit.

Cool, okay, I think I know what you are. Jen, would you say out of all your siblings, are you the one the most that likes the fanciest things in life? No, definitely not. Ooh. Okay, I think you're a middle child. Okay. Middle child.

I think she's the oldest. You think she's the oldest? Yeah. Jennifer, what are you? I'm the eldest. Yeah, there you go, Bree. What was it? What gave it away that she was the oldest?

I don't know. I just had a feeling. Because what did she say to your question? She said she would rock, paper, scissors for the whole thing. Yeah, because the eldest children are pretty like... Entitled? Yes, I feel like they're like

I deserve this, I'm going to get it. Yeah, right. Helen, hi. Hi, Helen. Hi. Hi, welcome to your probing. Okay, here we go. First question as we attempt to figure out what birth order you have. If your parents bought your sibling a car, but you already had a car that you paid for yourself, do you think that your parents should give you something to the same value as the

car they gave your sibling? This is a loaded question. Yes, absolutely. Wow. Yeah, it needs to be fair. Right. Okay. I know what she is.

I have a question, Helen. Would you say you're the most successful sibling out of you and your siblings? Oh. Be honest. Be honest. Yes. Yeah. Whoa.

She's the oldest. She's the oldest. Yeah, she's the oldest. Helen, are you the oldest? No. No. She's the middle. I'm the third of four. Oh, she's the oldest Yeah she's the oldest Helen are you the oldest No No She's the middle I'm the third of four

Oh she's the middle I knew that And why did I Why did I sway Yeah right Okay Let's go to Lawrence finally I knew she was a fellow

Middle childer Lawrence hi Hi Lawrence Hey I've run out of good questions Ask your question to Lawrence And I'll think of something Okay

Lawrence Would you say I've run out of good questions ask your question to Lawrence and I'll think of something okay Lawrence would you say out of all your siblings you're the nicest one oh absolutely Lawrence if say your family's having fish and chips

for dinner and one of your siblings wants In your family you're not allowed to get a burger with your fish and chips It's like hot dog, fritter or piece of fish And one of your siblings thinks they should get a burger Do you think that they should be allowed the burger? Absolutely not Absolutely not, right

What do you think? I've got none of these correct so far, but my gut feeling says Lawrence is an eldest child. I'm going to say only child. Oh. Okay, Lawrence, what are you? I'm actually fourth of five. Fourth of five, he's a middle.

Middle. Damn. How can I not pick up on my fellow middle child? I didn't get any of my fellow eldest children. That's weird because I thought eldest children were the smartest. Who knew? We're not psychics. Hope you enjoyed another Breeinclin summer podcast. The team are back and live from Jan 24 on ZM.
