I am not the brain clit. It's Tuesday and on Tuesdays we go looking for a name in a haystack. Biggie. $1,800 round of name in a haystack. It's not likely, but we push on and we continue to try, and that is the whole point of name in a haystack. Attempt number 36 of calling a random business with a random predetermined name in mind

and if the person with that name answers the phone, they will win $1,800 and we, you and I Bree, will have found a name in a haystack. And this game will end. And it will end, yeah, it's right, yeah. Once we find it. I don't know if we'll get budget for a season two. Yeah, Ross is already packing his dacks

over how much season one's got to. He's like, I didn't sign up for this. I didn't know it was going to go to $1,800. We've got it in a verbal agreement, though, that he will let the game last until it ends. Yep. It's in a contract. It's in a contract. Claudia, what are you choosing for us today?

I'll do the name today. Oh, what name are you got for us? I've realized we haven't done what I think is one of the most common names ever. Ben. Oh, we might have done Ben. We haven't done Katie. Wow. Okay.

Katie's good. Growing up in high school, every second girl was called Kate or Katie or Kate. I know heaps of Katie's or Kate. Which I think is a massive oversight on my part, so I'm fixing that today. You've gone broad again, Katie Caitlin. Catherine? No. Yeah, Catherine is Kate.

They have to go by Kate. Yeah. We're going to say Kate though, aren't we? Kate, Katie. We're going to say is Kate there. Caitlin added push, but Kate or Katie. Oh, this one, there's a lot of grey area. Like if their name is Catherine, you have to kind of give it.

I feel like we lock in Kate or Katie and those are our... Kate or Katie. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Kate or Katie. Yeah. So we got two names then. It's names in a haystack this week.

Where does Kate or Katie work, Ella? Farley Bakehouse in the location, in the South Island. And Fairly? Yeah, that would make sense. Not Fairly Bakehouse? Yeah, that's it. Okay, cool. Let's call them. I think they're fairly new, so.

Claudia, please connect us to the Fairly Bakehouse. and Fairley where today we're looking for Kate or Katie. Oh, come on. Come on, Kate. Come on, Katie. I hope they're working late. Yeah, bakers would be home. Good afternoon, Fairlie Banc house.

Hi there. This is Brian Clint calling from Zidium. Who are we speaking with? You're speaking with Kathleen. Would you like to speak to the office staff? Oh, my God. Oh, Kathleen! Kathleen!

Kathleen! You are not going to believe this. You are the person that we need to speak to. Oh, really? It's you. Kathleen. We play a game on this show. Oh, my God, Kathleen.

Name and a haystack where we call a random business and we try and get someone with a name that we've chosen to answer the phone. Today we were looking for Kate or Katie and we got Kathleen. We're so close. You couldn't get much closer than Kathleen to Kate or Katie, could you?

No, no. Here's the real kick in the pen. If it was Kate or Katie, you would have won $1,800. Oh, wow. And that's why it's such a kick in the pants. Yes, never mind. Never mind. You've got a good attitude.

You know, we debated before we came on how far we would go, and we decided we would go as far as Catherine. Kathleen didn't even cross our mind. But I mean, yeah. That's all right. Sometimes they get called Cass. Sometimes they get called Kathy. Kathy.

But never Kate or Katie? No, sometimes. Yeah, sometimes. Yeah. Yeah. No, it's just not like... I don't know, guys. I'm on the cusp here.

I don't know. Yeah, I get called all that sort of thing because of Pathleen. How often do you get Kate or Katie? Oh, every two months. I think. I think, I think we want it more than... I want to give it. give it to her so bad.

I don't think we, I think we'd be doing the 35 other versions of this game are disservice if we gave it. But Kathleen, we would love to give you a consolation prize. If we can, if you could hold on the line, we'd love to give you something, okay? Okay, okay, hold the line. All right, thank you, Kathleen. Thanks, Kathleen.

We're going to get roasted for this. I don't know, guys. Do you understand what I mean, though? Like, if we give it away now, we've said that it's a hard game and are we just trying? Are we just wanting to make it work? Like put a circle on a square, you know? Because Kathleen is not Katie.

What are some nicknames for Kathleen? But she doesn't go by Katie. I feel like customers just call her that every now and then. I think she gets Kath or Kathy. Common nicknames for Kathleen include these are the first two. No way. Kathy and Kate. That's crazy.

They're the first two. just not quite though. If she had a said, people call me Katie. Yes. That is my nickname, but she wasn't sure about it. You know? Rats. Oh, I don't feel right.

I feel like we need an impartial judge. We do. It's none of us because we want it to be right. Should it be Ross? It's not Ross because he wants it to be wrong. Who should it be? Soundkeeper Brooke. No.

Who do we get? Should we call my mum? Oh. Yes. Yeah, that's what we need to do. I think we call my mum? Yeah. Yep.

And don't give her any context, though. No. Just ask her, if you met someone by the name of Kathleen, what would her nickname be? What would you nickname her? Or is it, if you ever met someone called Kathleen, would you call them Kate? No, because then you're leading her.

You say, if you met someone named Kathleen? It's one shot. What would her nickname be? One shot, one shot. And if Mama Dice says Kate or Katie, do we all agree? We call Kathleen back and we give her the $1,800. Okay, dear. Okay, deal.

Okay, deal. All right, all right, we're going to call Mum and Dice right after this. Brian Clint stick with us. We'll have a result. We'll have a result next. Holy smokes. The best bits of ZDM's Bray and Clint. Our most controversial game of name and a haystack so far.

The text machine is blowing up. There's people on both sides of the argument. I've never seen it more perfectly split down the middle, though. People are invested. They've been with us over this third. 36 week journey to find the name in a haystack. Quick summary for you, every week we call a random business with a predetermined name. And if the person with that name answers the phone.

That is name in a haystack. And they win cash. The money's been jackpotting. We're up to $1,800. A lot of money. Today we called the Fairley Bakehouse and Feely looking for... Kate. Or Katie.

And at a push, Catherine. That's what was discussed beforehand. We got Kathleen, who goes by Kathy and Kath. Or Kath. And Kath. She said sometimes every now and then people who don't know her Kate. Yeah. I think.

We have an impartial, what we believe is an impartial judge on standby at the moment. She can't hear this. She hasn't been listening. So she doesn't know what this is about, right? She can't hear us right now. We can't go through all the possible nicknames for Kathleen, because eventually I reckon you would end up. close to it, right?

Yes. But, I mean, people on the text machine are saying, you know, name in a haystack is the name. And it's not closest name in a haystack. No. It's name in a haystack. But we've come up. It's hard for a reason. I think this is a fair solution where Mama Di, who hasn't been listening to any of this, we're going to ask her.

This is the simple question we're going to ask. We're going to say she doesn't have any context. If you met a person named Kathleen, if you became friends, with them, what would be the nickname you would call them? For Kathleen. For Kathleen. Okay. Claudia, please put Mama Di through to us now.

She hasn't been able to hear any of this yet, and we'll bring her on. Here she is. Dye, are you with us? Hi, Mum. Hi, guys. How are you going? Good afternoon. Good afternoon, Mum.

Hey, we have a really simple question. We're not going to tell you really what it's about, anything else. we just need one simple answer from you. Okay, it sounds like pressure. No, don't overthink it. No, there's no pressure. Don't ever think it. We just need your honest answer, okay?

Yeah. Okay. Okay. So the question is, if you became friends with someone called Kathleen, what would you nickname that friend? Kathleen. Caddy. Wait.

Wait. So their name's Kathleen. Oh my God, I didn't think it. Oh, my God, could this get? Can we just hear that clearly? And what would you nickname that friend? Caddy. Catty.

Catty. Well, yeah, catty. Kattie. Can you spell it? No. What is the most, oh, Jesus, you made this more confusing. What's the most common? No, she hasn't, because she hasn't said what we needed her to say.

She's just gone. It's close to what we're... It's literally in the middle. That's what I normally do. I'm a average person. Oh, my God. What's the most common nickname for someone named Kathleen, Mum? I don't know.

She's the wrong person. Is it Katie or is it Kathy? Oh, yeah, well, Kathy then. Kathy. Oh, no, now we're leading her. Oh, jeez. Well, you said a nickname to me. Kathy is just shortening the name.

I don't classify that as his nickname. That is literally the definition of a nickname. Oh, my God. I hate this, and I hate it. I hate it being the bad guy. I hate it so much. I think it's a no. When we have to agree on this as a team, okay?

We'll take a vote. I vote no. I'm happy to vote first. I vote no. I also vote no. Yeah, it's a hollow victory if we do it. Yeah, it's a no. Even though Mama Dye's made it incredibly more convoluted.

I think, let me just say, I think a nickname is more like a pet name. I don't think it's a short natural name. Mum, she doesn't know what she's talking. Mum, you know the game name in a haystack we play on our show? Yes, yes. We called today, right, so the name today, no, listen, listen, let's see what she actually says and what she thinks. we called today the name we were looking for was Kate or Katie and the woman who answered her name was Kathleen

should she win? Absolutely yes. Hang up on Mama Die. Hang up on her. She's making us look even worse. I thought she was going to give us clear ear. She just... She made it so much worse.

Well, to be fair, we were just trying to make her the bad guy but it got pushed back on us soon. Calm as a bitch. We'll stand behind our decision. We have to stand by our decision. We have to. It's a no. Devastating.

Next week we'll go searching for a name and a haystack worth $1,850. And we promise we do actually want to find a winner for us. No, we do. But we want it to be right. We want it to feel right. People are saying give her half the money. No. No, that's not how it works.

We're not looking for half a name and half a haystack. Yeah. Okay. There's a lot of texts. We appreciate how invested you guys are. We're just as invested. Can you see we're standing on principle? We want it.

We want the money to go, but we want it to feel right. I feel terrible. The best beds of ZDM's Brie and Clint. Bree's psychic radio. If you are feeling a bit strange right now, that is because the chakras are relining here on ZM. And I am channeling the blood moon

Wouldn't mind that. Well, is she qualified when it comes to guessing films? Shavorn, I'll just run through the rules quickly. I read out plot lines to movies. You yell out your name when you think you know what that plot line is, what the plot of the movie is, and have a guess. Don't wait for me to finish, okay? Just go for it when you think you know what it is.

Yeah. If you get two of them right before Breed does, you'll win $1,300. Crazy. What would you spend the money on, Chavon? My daughter has 10 daycare teachers. so a nice Christmas gift for them. I do like a hamper and then definitely Botox because she's also stressing me out. Botox's for you, right?

So good on you. Thank you so much. You're welcome, mate. You're welcome. Watch out if you're Shavorn's kids' daycare teacher, one of the ten.
