The ZM Podcast Network Kia ora everybody, welcome to the Brian Clint Podcast featuring Matty, Matty's still here and welcome to day two of Does Ben want to know who's got a crush on him or not? Honest to God, I was standing in the shower this morning going, what's wrong with that guy? I would want to know who had a crush on me, even if I, I don't know. I was going to say, even if I was married, I am married. If someone had a crush on me, I want to know.

Yeah, I thought about it again today as well, so I was wondering, have you thought about it at all? No, I haven't thought about it, but we can, I'll talk to you and we can discuss it off the, off air. Why? What's the big deal? Because I don't, I don't, I don't, yeah, I don't want to. You don't want to know who's got a crush on you

It's the ultimate guess up Especially if you're in a relationship To find out that someone has a crush on you When you're in a relationship Is the equivalent of It's like up there with a hall pass I don't need to do anything But I just need to know that I've still got it

And then you You don't even want to know What have you got to lose? I've got a question for you then Mat And then you Over there You don't even want to know What have you got to lose? Okay I've got a question for you then Matty Do they know You've brought it up? I did suggest

That they listen To the podcast yesterday But I haven't actually Checked in to see If they have or not Why are you asking that question? Do you not want to know Out of respect

For the person Who has a crush on you? Well Yeah I just Was wondering Do they know Like do they know If he's single or relationship like are they like do they know him well enough to know if he's even yeah yeah yeah they do know that yeah oh so they're just like oh just throwing it out there i've got a crush on it it's not like a i'm madly in love with this guy

and i desperately want to date him it It's just like a cute little crush. They find you schmixy. They find you erosistable. But you don't want to know, that's fine. You don't want to know. It's okay. You don't want to know? I mean, I'd like to know. All right, you're tuned.

You've got a bloody change from yesterday. All you have to do is ask. Ben, all you have to do is ask. You just need to say the words. Now, do you know what, though? Now I've got myself, because you've made... This is my thing is, you've got a big responsibility. What's that? Oh, there you are.

What is that? Someone give me a call. Shush. What is that? Yeah, so I was ready to divulge yesterday, but now you've made it into a thing. Yeah, now it's a whole thing. Matty, can you tell Clint and I

No I know Okay now He will know Okay what I'm gonna do Is I'm gonna message the person Because I'm back I'm in for a wee while

Oh I can't have this Over the whole weekend So I'm gonna message the person And say Are you okay with me Divulging Yeah And then we have to message Ben

And be like Are you okay With being told But that's how it works Relationships are so complex in 2022 I'm so glad that I Got myself sorted a long time before this I would not survive in the world of online dating

I honestly wouldn't I'd be so shit How did you and Lucy meet? Mutual friend Right I miss Tinder altogether Like And thank God

Oh thank God Because if i had to look back on the shit chat that i would have offered on tinder like i still think in real life is alive i totally think that's alive and well we've got a real in real life example right now maddie wants to tell ben about a real life one but i once uh i once wrote a uh was on a flight and the flight attendant was really cute. And I thought I'd shoot my shot, and I wrote a message to him on a sick bag and left it on the seat. Did you hear anything?

No. It turns out someone came up to me and said, I'm a flight attendant, and I heard about this story. By the way, the person's straight and has So good, but I would teach you I would teach you I'd be like hey that was very cute Yeah, I'm straight and I've got some kids but that's cute. I'll keep the sick bag. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, just in case Did you do you know the story about the guy we went to broadcasting school with and the scratchy ticket? Do you remember that story?

I don't know this story. I was going to cut the mic for a second so I can tell you the person because it gives it context. Okay, okay. And then so, hang on a second. That person. Yeah.

When we went to broadcasting school together, he, and tell Anastasia, tell us if this is smooth or not because I've got an opinion and I won't be offended either way. Our opinion might be skewed by the person. She's not. Yeah.

She's not. So the person goes to Pack and Save, does their grocery shopping and you know how they have like a lotto kiosk? Yeah. Goes, buys a scratchy. Yeah. Scratch the scratchy.

Likes the look of the person who sold the scratchy. Scratch the scratchy. W scratchy um wins two dollars or whatever it is you went on a scratchy the amount of money is not important it wasn't significant um took the scratchy back up and they said hey um uh this one actually has as a winner and they said oh cool i'll cash that in for you and they said and you should hold on to that there's something on the back of it for you and on the back was their phone number yeah okay that's that's i don't think that's quite smooth i would be a little bit creeped out slash think that's cringe but that is the level of like i wouldn't necessarily meet a stranger like in a store situation but i had like you know like i've

had friends one of my close friends a guy came into a shop that she worked at and he was like on the receipt like said you're cute and they went out for ages and that did work that did work

because it's the equivalent of Maddie with the sick tail to be fair did that tail for him he got a date yeah he did get a date oh well that's

no that's successful and I do think that these days it's coming back around like the other day a guy asked for my number which would be cringe in our age group but I found it really cute and it's coming back around like the other day a guy asked for my number which would be cringe in our age group but i found it really cute so he's like oh be a normal person add me on snapchat no because no because now it's coming full circle that snapchat's just the new tinder

so this was so this was in real life someone yeah he was like i'm keen for your number and i was like oh my god that's cool and he was really hot too. So that was also on the side. What was the setting? What was the setting? Was it a gig? Oh my God, that's so cute. That's so hot. I'm so into that. Yeah.

Because that takes balls too. Yes. So he asked for your number. He didn't say, can I give you my number? No, no, he asked for my number. And it wasn't a thing where you guys were in a conversation with each other and then he said, oh, I'd love to see you sometime. He bought me some drinks. Right.

But I didn't know i met him but we had mutual friends we we had mutual friends i knew of him right oh not really but yeah oh wait that's different so you had you knew you knew this like a random no i hadn't met him before so i shouldn't know of him he just had to meet your friend are you guys dating no no have you been on a date? Yes. You have been on a date? Yeah. Okay, well, that's all the outcome we need.

Yeah, we're on a couple of dates. Yeah, anyway, so that's, yeah. Anyway. Anyway, so yeah, that's cool. I think the cute shit now is coming back in fashion. Great. Good. In person, bring it back.

It has to be two million. For boosters, that's correct. Right, if you've had a booster, it's only one shot. So two million New Zealanders getting boosters is two million shots? Correct. Is that what you were thinking, Matty? That's not the way I was phrasing the question. I was more meaning booster shots means you've had three jabs.

Oh, but the booster is only one shot. I think you have to give that to Geordie on a technicality. I'll give it to... Oh, beauty, beauty, good at trainees. All right, question number four.

You're very good at it, though. Thanks. Yeah. So are you at this. Oh, thank you. You do TV, so. I wasn't asking for a compliment, but keep going. What else do you love about me?

Your dance moves. You were talking about TikTok before. Very good. Perfect. Today is Friday Jams Day, and Friday Jams Day is jam-packed full of requests. Yes. And you've done a great job of playing out the requests. Good requests as well.

Someone requested Craig David there before, which I love. Craig David is an R&B singer from the early 2000s. Oh, right. So I was like one? Yeah, probably. Screw you. There is a nasty tradition which is coming through where people are messing

with Georgia and now you. It needs to stop. With the request that they send through for Friday Jams. Couple of weeks ago, poor old Georgia was taken down by a texter who sent through this request. See you, Fane. It's Church on ZM's Friday Jams with Georgia.

No. This is the request that Ella read out today. And lastly, a shout out to the boys at Dick Insider Brewers Fernside. Thanks for work on this hot Friday.

Yeah. When you watch the chase you get a thousand dollars per question you get correct to build your cash builder and they usually go through with between three and five thousand yeah maddie i can confirm that you got a grand total of eight questions in 60 seconds. Not bad. I'd be happy with that. If Bradley Walsh told me I got eight right, I'd be like, I've nailed it.

What? It's the pressure, too. It's questions that you already know. Totally. Your mind starts racing. I couldn't think of the dog breed. Great Dane. Right.

Is that the Beethoven? Nah, that's a... Something else. Yeah. No, Beethoven's the big long drippy face one. Yeah, right. My mind was just going totally blank though. Eight is pretty good. You should go on the chase. Thank you. Maddie and I were

having lunch today and you told me that you've just got cracking on one of your New Year's resolutions. Well, look, here's the thing. So I went home for Christmas to Queenstown and stayed at Mum and Dad's house and you know went home for Christmas to Queenstown. Yeah. And stayed at mum and dad's house. And, you know, you just start looking through old things.

Totally. I went into the wardrobe in what has now become communally mine and my brother's bedroom, depending on who's home. Oh, yeah. And so there's just so much crap that's been shoved into the wardrobe there. And I opened it up and my brother's guitar was in there. Oh, yeah? Brother was pretty good. He played the guitar, played the drums, pretty musical.

My sister's a fantastic guitar player, sung. Me, nothing. Really? Not an inkling of any musical talent. Are you the eldest? Yes. Does that the reason why? I would kind of think if they're musical, you'd be musical

because you'd be from a musical family. Are your parents musical? No, neither of them are either. So I'm not sure what happens. There was a missing link somewhere. Right. But I always thought, well, maybe I want to be. Maybe I want to be musical.

Yep. And I do hate when you go to like a campfire or a party and someone pulls out a guitar and just starts playing it. Guitar guy has become a bit of a cliche. I have a couple of good friends that are guitar guy. Old, um, rhymes with, um, schmack. Schmame. Catch him 9am on Sunday mornings on TVNZ1.

He's definitely a guitar guy. Schmack Schmame of TVNZ fame loves a jam on the guitar. It's 90% of his Instagram content, isn't it? And look, we love him in spite of that. But I thought if I could at least be someone who could just do it in the privacy of my own home. It was more just I want to do something that's a new skill this year. Oh, learning an instrument is fantastic.

Totally. Especially, I mean, I'm not saying that you are or we are, but as you get older, it's great for cognitive function, you know, keeping those neural pathways active, learning something new like that. It's coordination. It's a whole new skill set.

So I took the guitar. I checked it in at the airport, flew it home to Auckland. Oh, you brought the guitar all the way back from your parents' house? I brought the guitar home from Queenstown. Okay. It's now, what's the date? February 18th. February 18th.

How many times do you think I've tried playing the guitar? Well, look, it would be easy to say none, but I watched you on your journey to be able to become a TikTok dancer last year. And when you put your mind to something, you can do it. Totally. You weren't able to move nearly at all at the beginning of the year. And now I can tap my foot.

Now you're passable. So I'm going to say that you've had a go at it. I'm going to say you've had three or four sessions on the guitar since New Year's Day. Well, that's very kind of you to say. I have not played once. But I went to get it out this week because I thought, okay. I was like, shit, sorry.

We are actually partway through February. We're in the middle of February. Yeah. So I need to start if I'm going to get this done. Okay. Went to get the guitar out of the case. Yeah. So I need to start if I'm going to get this done. Okay. Went to get the guitar out of the case. Yep. Broken string. Wasn't tuned

properly. And so now that sent me back another because now I've got to find the time to actually go. Put it off for another month. Kick a can down the road. Exactly. But that's part of learning to play the guitar, isn't it? I can't play, but you've got to learn how to tune it. You've got to learn how to restring it. What if one of your strings breaks while you're in the middle of a jam session?

Yeah, but what I would need to do, so can I even fix a broken string? Yeah, you've got to go and buy a string. Yeah. I think. Okay. I don't know either. I took guitar lessons.

I know, James Morrison's song was you can't play on broken strings, but you maybe can fix broken strings. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's the right way. I took guitar lessons for five years and I can't play anything at all.

So I'm not the person to ask. So does this not bode well for me because we talked about it on breakfast and we've agreed that I'm going to play a song on our Christmas special at the end of this year.

No, that's the kind of foot up the butt that you need to do it. Like you're like me. You need a deadline. If there's not a deadline, you're not going to do it. But if you've tried learning for the last five years and you still can't play. Like you, you're like me, you need a deadline. If there's not a deadline, you're not going to do it. But if you've tried learning

for the last five years and you still can't play. There was no deadline. I wasn't working towards anything. Okay. It wasn't like I was going to play a song at my graduation. It was just,

it was just wasting mum's money and going to lessons. The good thing about the, the good thing about the, the ultimatum of playing at the end of the year is we agreed that Indira, our newsreader on Breakfast,

would sing. Yes. And she was runner-up on New Zealand Idol. So you can't let her down. I can't let her down, but also her voice hopefully will counterbalance. Pick a song which is just basic picking, like a tiny bit of...

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just play the first note for her and then let her go and you'll be fine. Look, at least you've cracked into your news resolutions. I reckon there'll be people listening right now that on the 18th of February haven't even started on whatever their New Year's resolution was. And I think it's time that we have an amnesty on that

on the show this afternoon. Okay, so it's almost like we need to test them. We need to put them through. You would be, hi, my name is Matty and I just started my New Year's resolution to learn the guitar on the 18th of February. Let's get people on who are like, hi, I am so-and-so, and my New Year's resolution was to... Juggle.

Juggle, or go to the gym once a week. Totally. And I haven't even started yet. Okay, great. Call us, get it off your chest, and do a bit of a New Year's resolution reset with us this afternoon. Make me feel better about myself. Oh, 800 dials at M.

Or you can text them in to us as well on 9696. Are you still yet to begin your New Year's resolution? And are you a guitar player? Have you got any advice for me? Please, how do I fix my broken string? Which string is it? Do you know? No, I don't know.

Brie and Clint. Maddie's here. He's filling in for Brie for the next couple of weeks while she's off filming a TV show. And Maddie revealed to me today that you've just started your New Year's resolution for 2022. Started is a nice way of putting it. You've just revisited it.

I decided over Christmas, I went home to Queensland, found my brother's old guitar from when he was a teenager. He doesn't use it anymore. And I thought, right, this is going to be it. This is going to be the year I learn to play the guitar. Brought the guitar back with me. Start a family band.

Exactly. It's now February 18th and I'm yet to literally play a string. Really? You got it out of the case. It's got a broken string. We've actually weirdly managed to find you almost an exact replica. It's a guitar that only has five strings. Can you just

picture this, right? We're around, we've gone camping for the weekend. We're around a campfire and I just pull out the guitar. Today is gonna be the day that you're gonna throw it back to you. Are those actual chords that you're playing? Barely.

Oh, right. Yeah. But you do know them. If I had the chords right. I think you've got the foundation. You know when to move and when to. I look good with it around my shoulders, right? I'm not kidding myself here.

We want to know from you this afternoon Are you still yet to start your New Year's resolution? We're almost a quarter of the way into 2022 Which is depressing to say And you haven't started yet But you can be honest about it We can clear the slate Ailish is here

Hi Ailish Hi, how's it going? Good So what was your New Year's resolution? It was to run a minimum of one times a week. One a week. See, I like your one. That's manageable.

You've started realistic, right? And you're hoping that you get the running bug and it builds from there? Because obviously you'd like to run more than once a week, right? Yeah, I mean, ideally three times a week, right? Yeah, that's the goal. Okay, so we're one, two, three, four, five, six, seven weeks into 2020. How many runs have you been for, Ailish? One.

When was it? I bet it was New Year's Day as well. No, it was yesterday, actually. Okay, okay, all right. This bodes well. Yeah. This bodes well. And you know what?

That was Thursday. It's now Friday. So don't run tomorrow or the next day. Save your run for the new week. Go again on Monday. Yeah. You've literally got like a nine, ten day buffer before you need to go for your next run.

Or if you run every day from now until Friday next week. Bank them up. You'll be in credit. Bank them up. You will technically, seven weeks of the year, you will have done eight weeks, you will have done eight runs. Is that something that appeals to you? I don't see myself doing that, to be honest.

Okay, fair enough. Well, we're proud of you for going for one run. Congratulations. Thank you. Thank you for your honesty. Yeah, thank you very much. Someone texted and said, my New Year's resolution was to read more books. So far, all I've managed to do is follow a TikToker who reviews erotic literature.

Hey, it's a start, right? Unless you're engaging with book content. Exactly. And what a way to engage as well. Avril's here. Hi, Avril. Hi. What was your New Year's resolution?

So I'm lactose intolerant. And so I was like, right, this year I'm going to do it. I'm going to go dairy free. Oh, yeah. Coconut milk, oat milk. How are you going to do it? I don't like any other milk except for soy milk. Soy milk?

Okay, that'll do. That's okay, that'll do. And what's your main dairy nemesis? Is it cheats? No, it's chocolate. Chocolate, okay. They say you can eat the 70% dark garner or something, right? Yeah, but it doesn't taste like real chocolate.

It just tastes like cocoa. It tastes like punishment, hey? It really does. It tastes like you went to get yourself a treat, but when you got to the shop, you're like, you don't deserve the treat. Yeah. And you're like, this isn't worth the sugar and the calories. Like, I'd rather just eat the normal chocolate.

Yeah, absolutely. Okay, Avril, well, we're seven or eight weeks into 2022. How much dairy have you cut from your diet? None. It's hard. I have found these pills, though. They're called lactase, and they help you digest dairy.

So I'm like, oh, that's kind of healthy. Just take the pill. Yeah, perfect, a shortcut. That's all we need. Yeah, okay, now we're talking, Avril. All we've got to find now is Maddie a shortcut, a pill that teaches them how to learn the guitar, and we're good to go.

Okay, thanks, Avril. Good to learn the guitar, and we're good to go. Okay, thanks, everyone. Good luck on your quest, okay? Cheers. Kia ora, this is Toby Mann. I'm the host of Gone By Lunchtime, a podcast for the spin-off podcast network all about politics and politicians, with me, Annabel Lee-Mather, and Ben Thomas,

careering wildly from the very serious to the very ridiculous. It's not for everyone. I don't think it would be Ellen's cup of tea, but you, I reckon, will love it. Gone by lunchtime. Grab one now wherever you get your podcasts. Bree and Clint. You might have seen everybody doing this

on their Instagram story at the moment, sharing their Uber history. I saw this. Right? It's quite an intimate thing to share. Quite often you're taking an Uber ride when you're not completely yourself. Yeah, and I don't even think about the ratings.

You know, when I jump out of an Uber and it prompts me to give them a rating, I genuinely don't even think about it. I just click the five stars. Click the five, carry on. Even if it's been a terrible ride, I'll still give them a five-star rating. Quite often, because I don't take many Ubers, I often won't remember to rate at all. So next time you open the app in three weeks' time kind of thing,

they go, how was your ride with Sammy? And I go, I don't remember. I can't remember. Five, I guess. Where did I go? I guess it was in a Toyo to Prius, but I can't remember. Turns out the drivers never forget to rate you as a passenger, and now Uber has made it possible for you to not only see your score

but to see the exact breakdown of 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 star rides that you've taken. Maddy and I don't know our results but producer Ben has been into both of our apps to take a look. We gave you our phones which is very trusting of us actually. Yeah and I think I didn't do too much I just got your ratings and it's

not good for one of you. Really? One of us is a bad passenger. Yeah, that's okay though. Really? How do you want me to do this? Start with Clint. Start with the good person. I'll just start with Clint.

Oh, okay. So your overall Uber rating that the drivers have given you, 4.85. It's not bad. Out of five. Out of five? Very good. It's not bad. That means I'm the bad one.

You don't know that. You don't know that. How has my 4.85 been made up? Mainly, actually predominantly five stars. You've got 332 five stars. Wow, I've been in 332 Ubers. That's a lot of Ubers. Yeah, okay.

14 four stars and then we'll just jump down. You've got six one stars six one star rides six what did you do on those rides Clint don't know what would I have done

to deserve a one what could I have possibly done I've never thrown up in an Uber no yeah I've never have you gotten in a fight

with anyone I left turntables in an Uber once and I rang the guy to bring them back I was like hey it was like half an hour later I was like hey all my DJ gear's in the boot Uber once and I rang the guy to bring them back. I was like, hey, it was like half an hour later, I was like hey, all my DJ gear's in the boot of your Uber.

But he charged me to bring them back. If anything, he should give me six stars because he got paid twice. Okay, right, so what was I? You're 4.85. I'll take it. Yeah, so I've got, Matty, your details now.

So, your overall rating from drivers, 4.81. Okay. So very close. Of that, five stars, 454. Oh. Could you start work very early and you live in the city? Do you Uber to work? Sometimes, and I travel a lot.

Around the country. I'll get Ubers to and from the airport a lot. Yeah. Yeah. I'd assume you'd be on your best behaviour. I would have thought so. When you're on a Dilmar-funded jaunt around the South Island. Very polite.

You'd be on your very best behaviour, right? I have polite conversations. I'm not overly talkative sometimes. You know, sometimes you're just not in the mood, but I feel like I'm not rude to them. Well, your one stars is a bit more than Clint's. Really? sometimes you know sometimes you're just not in the mood but i feel like i'm not rude to them well your one stars is a bit more than clint's really i had i had six one stars maddie you're 10 again what have i done i don't know what have i done i wish i could i want to know now though

that's the worst i wish i didn't know that You know what I think Is worse than getting a one? I reckon getting a three Is worse than a one Because they're like He wasn't bad But he was just Meh

How many three stars Have Matty and I got? Matty Three stars Thirteen Clint Three stars One

One Yeah right God so I'm just a very average Average to below Average passion But mainly five stars You're fine What are we doing? I've been trained That you never give an Uber driver Yeah, right. God, so I'm just a very average to below average passion. But mainly five stars. You're fine. What are we doing?

I've been trained that you never give an Uber driver a one. I would never. Nah, neither. Unless they did something unforgivable. Yeah, I've been trained you always give them a five unless something was off because they have to have a rating to keep their job or something correct. But maybe we need, if they're rating us ones,

maybe we need to be a bit more ruthless with our rating system. You watch out. If you're my Uber driver, you'd better be nice to me or I'll still give you a five star. Bree and Clint. Time is waiting. You only get one second of no hesitating.

You only got one second. One second. It's not me singing. Is it not you singing? No, it's not me singing. I wish that was me singing. No, that's Soundkeeper Gary. Oh, really? Yeah, former Soundkeeper Gary.

I've just given Matty a crash course on how the game works. Yeah, look, I've listened to you play it, but I've never played it before. And you all know how competitive I am as well. Oh, yeah. Hate to lose. I'm very good as well. Like, very good. Because he always plays the songs. He kind of knows them. Yeah. Because I am as well. Oh, yeah. Hate to lose. I'm very good as well. Like, very good.

Because he always plays the songs. He kind of knows them. Yeah. Because I'm a DJ. Yeah, right. Let's get some teammates on. Jacintha is here. Hi, Jacintha.

Bree and Clint. Correct. And replay. Look at you go, Dad. I'm Spider-Man. Look at you go. I'm up with Spider-Man. Look at you go. I'm up with the references. You're so down with the kids.

Let me just check in with Gen Z over here. Anastasia, did you know that Zendaya, that Zendaya, she's actually on Euphoria? What? Oh, I've never heard of that show. Yeah, you should check it out. You'd like it. Oh, really?

Oh, okay. Ben, did you know that that Zendaya, she dates Spider-Man? Didn't know that. So always learning from you man You should check that out You'd like Spiderman You're so good It's good

When you've got knowledge You should share it Yeah absolutely You know You're helping us all to learn I think that's a Spiderman quote actually With great knowledge Comes great

Responsibility About Zendaya That's exactly the quote Yeah perfect So I was talking to my friend this morning And she went on a date with a guy Oh yeah First date, met on Tinder

Date went pretty well He didn't swindle her? He didn't There's been no swindling yet Good Yeah That's not where this story's going Although if something happens in a couple of months

I'm happy to come back on and update you So it's not a Tinder disaster? Not yet. Okay. But she obviously, her and her mum have a really good relationship. Very close, you know, kind of share everything. So after the date, she called her mum and said,

went on this date with this guy. Yep. Went really well. That's cute. Yeah. She said, I think I really like him. Okay. And the mum said, who is he?

I want to know a little bit more about him. Give me all the goss. Give me all the goss. And she said, well, why don't you just go and have a look at him on Instagram so you can kind of visualise who it is that I'm telling you about. Yeah. So her mum went on to Instagram, started looking through the guy's photos. Perfect.

A couple of hours later, the guy messaged my friend Grace and said, thanks for tonight. Great day. Had an awesome time. By the way, is your mum Pam? Oh, no. And Grace went, yeah, my mum's name is Pam. Why?

How do you know that? And he went, your mum's just added me to Instagram. No, mum, you've come in way too hot. Yeah. Why is mum adding the Tinder date on Instagram? Look, this wasn't a thing of Pam going, I want to get to know this guy. I'm going to.

Was he private? Did she need to add him to see his photos? This was a slip of the fingers, accidental click on the ad. Oh, mum. And now, before my friend is even friends with this guy on Instagram, her mum is friends with this guy on Instagram. It's kind of your friend's fault because her mum is not from the Instagram generation,

so she doesn't know that when you're Instagram stalking someone that you're involved with, you need to be using like a feather touch. Absolutely. The risk of double tapping a photo is so high. In fact, log in from a scam account, a dummy account that is not registered to anybody whatsoever. Every action with your finger needs to be well thought through and well executed.

Wow. But hey, what an icebreaker, right? Well, I guess. And look, they're going on a second date. So clearly he hasn't been too scared off. Maybe mum's done them a favour. Maybe. What if mum was keen?

What if mum was trying to slide at the DMs? She's like, girl, you've done so good. I want a piece of that action. She's trying to, I'm sure that wasn't it. I experienced something similar with an ex-girlfriend when I was younger. Her sister had a new boyfriend and the mum went to Facebook and looked up the new boyfriend, so very similar, looked at the photos, looked at the boyfriend's whole whatever is going on

and then messaged the daughter and said, oh no, I don't like him. He's yuck. You can do so much better than that. Except she didn't message that to her. She wrote it on her Facebook wall. No, no, no, no, no. So the post was there for everybody to see.

So she's done a live review of the new boyfriend whose Facebook page she's just stalked on Facebook my mum, this is less of a this is less of a mistake and more of a social media etiquette thing

I introduced my partner Ryan to my parents after a few months of dating we went down to Queenstown and spent the weekend down there literally, so we'd only been together for a few months, we were down there for two days and Ryan, we were on

the plane, on the tarmac waiting to fly back to Auckland and Ryan goes, I've just been added to your family chat on Facebook after two days mum had added him to our been added to your family chat on Facebook. After two days, mum had added him to our family group chat on Messenger.

I bet that wasn't an accident. I bet your mum was like, we love this guy. Get him in. We've got to get him in there. As soon as he's in the chat, there's no way he can leave now. There's no way he can leave. It'd be way too awkward. Exactly. That way, if anything goes wrong, the whole family can message him and go, don't leave. Whatever happened, we know it's Matty's fault.

Just please don't leave our family. We'll kick him out of the family and keep you instead. I wonder if we can take some calls this afternoon on Boomer. And I say that with love. Boomer social media fails. Please. Did your parents do something on Instagram or Facebook? A colleague, maybe your boss has done something.

Maybe you gave your mum access to your Tinder profile and she did something that really just wasn't helpful. She had the best of intentions, but it was just that generational split and it just did not go the way that it should have gone. And she ended up super liking about 30 guys in a row. We want to know your boomer. Social media fails this afternoon.

You can call us on 0800DIALS.M or you can text them in to us on 9696. We can leave names completely out of this, okay? It's not a name and shame exercise. Absolutely. It's an educational exercise. Yes. Okay? So get in touch. Bree and Clint. We're talking about boomer social media fails.

We say it with love. They just are more common than we could have ever imagined. Totally. Some of my good friends are boomers. And like I said before, my favourite parents are boomers. You know? It's not an insult.

It's just a generational gap. And I imagine that a lot of social media can be quite confusing. So we've asked, what is the boomer social media experience fail that you've got? Someone texted in and said, when my dad was fairly new to Facebook, he unwittingly shared a link to a site of hot young women. My sister and I made my brother tell him. He was so mortified that he left Facebook after that, which was a relief for all of us, really.

Oh, my God. Dad, log off. Log off and don't come back. My dad has nine Facebook profiles. He creates a new one whenever he forgets the password. Blairs. He wouldn't have any friends. No, exactly.

You'd have to. And every time he'd start a new profile, people would just go, oh, God, this guy's been hacked. This is another Barry Richardson. Yeah., God, this guy's been hacked. He'd been hacked. This is another Barry Richardson. Yeah. Not again. But it's just him.

He's like, please, guys, I've forgotten my password. I've got no friends. Let's get some calls on. Hamish is here. Kia ora, Hamish. How's it going? Yeah, good. Good.

What's your boomer social media fail you want to share with us? It's pretty perfect timing, actually. But my mate text me today saying that my grandma had gone through and liked like 10 or so of his photos on Instagram. Were they topless selfies? Nah, nah, nah. Grandma hasn't fallen for a thirst trap. What do you think it is? Why is your grandma on your friend's Instagram page?

Look, I've got no idea. She's gone down a wormhole. I texted her about it and I was like, did you have a good stalk? And she came back and said, yep, I just loved them. You know what? Good on grandma. And she's not wrong.

The little heart it is. It's loving them. Okay, that's great. Thank you, Hamish. Let's talk to an little heart it is, it's loving them Okay that's great, thank you Hamish, let's talk to an anonymous caller, hi anonymous Hello This is about your dad Oh my god, your dad is the guy that we talked about

Oh, have you read that out? Your dad is the guy who shared the hot young woman link? Yeah My dad was quite new to Facebook and so, yeah, he didn't have the hang of it, but I was looking through one day, scrolling through, and I saw that he'd shared this link to

check out this site for pics of hot young women. I was just like, oh my god, find out my brother and said, you have to call dad now and tell him now. I can't tell him. What do you do with that? You just have to laugh, right? I did laugh.

Yes, but I also knew that Dad would be horrified. Is it something that Dad can laugh about now or do you guys just never talk about it? No. We don't talk about it. We don't talk about it. And I don't mean to be crass, but Dad's got needs.

Has someone been around to talk to Dad about incognito mode? Send your brother in there and tell your Dad how to do a private search, you know? Yeah. He's just gone off Facebook, which is probably for the best, right? Learn how to clear your browser history while he's editing. How to disconnect the iPad from the UE boom so the neighbours don't hear what you're viewing, you know? All the basics. Stop it, it's my dad, stop it.

Happy Friday. Thank you. We appreciate the call. We've got another anonymous caller here. Hi, anonymous. This was your boss though, wasn't it? Yeah, it was my boss. Okay, tell us the story.

So I'm in a legal profession and he was dealing with a client who's going through a separation and he was having a wee stalk of his client's ex-wife on Facebook and accidentally hit the add friend button. Oh no. And she would know that this was his lawyer, right? Yeah. She texted the client and said, your lawyer has been stalking you on Facebook. Can you please ask him to stop? Can I ask a question?

Because you're in the legal profession. It's standard practice, right, that you go and check out their social media so you can see maybe I don't know if you're dealing with a divorce Where the assets are Or what's going on Due diligence It's standard practice right

Absolutely I want to know what this guy looks like And make a call about whether or not he's a dick or not With that too I appreciate the honesty Yeah absolutely Good to know But yeah just be careful where your fingers are browsing on the...

Very much so. I'm not a boomer, so we're safe. Yeah, I imagine it's not standard practice to add your client's ex-partner on Facebook. That's why they need a millennial in the team like you, Anonymous, to do all the social media stuff. Exactly, exactly.

Okay, thanks, guys. Those are so good. Someone's texting. This is something my mum posted about the anniversary of my sister's death and one of her friends put LOL, obviously thinking it would mean lots of love. Oh, yeah.

It's nothing else to say. Just like that comment and move on. Bree and Clint. Hey. It's my birthday. It's my birthday. Bree and Clint's birthday banger. All right, everybody.

This is where we find out the number one song on your 16th birthday, and then we play the best one out in full. Friday's got a different vibe to it. We really hope for a big, big banger coming through to send us into the weekend. So no pressure, but it's your job to bring us a good birthday so we can give you a good birthday banger. And Eva, you're up first. Kia ora, Eva. Hello. How are you going? I'm good.

Happy Friday, Eva. Happy Friday. Hello. All right, Eva. Good day. Tell us your birthday. When were you born? 15th of July, 2003. Okay, Eva, you were 16 on the 15th of July, 2019. And this was your number one song.

I think it's all the movies I've seen It's your Armageddons, it's your Gravity Gravity, yeah All of those movies have just made me think You're definitely going to die if you go into space Do you enjoy flying? Like generally? Oh yeah, I don't mind

You don't mind it? I'm a fine flyer. It's got nothing to do with... You just don't want to leave the stratosphere. I just feel like you're asking for danger. You're asking for something to go wrong. Well, everyone's building a spaceship. Elon Musk has got one.

The Jeff Bezos, the Amazon guy's got one. And Richard Branson's goal was always to build an airline that would take commercial travellers into outer space. To be fair, it is only time, right? Yeah. Well, they believe it is. Virgin Galactic has reopened its sales to the public, and this year they want to sell 1,000 seats to the general public.

Normal people. This is not like last time they took William Shatner and the world's first female astronaut and things like that. Now, you and me, if we're rich enough, can buy a seat on those. I was going to say, you say normal people, but normal people with what kind

of a bank balance? Well, we'll get to that. But first of all, think about whether it's a holiday you'd enjoy. Like, I don't know if you're planning to go overseas when the border opens. I don't know if you have to MIQ when you come back from space. There's no COVID in outer space. Well, no, I assume not. Surely you can just come straight back.

You will fly on the Virgin Galactic spaceship at Mach 3, which is three times the speed of sound. And you will travel to 86 kilometers above the Earth's surface. Look, I will say this. If you're someone that thinks of the gram, what a photo. There's not much more of a flex than being in outer space, right? Oh, this? Oh, this is me looking at Earth.

Imagine if you got all the way into outer space and the person took a shit photo of you. How gutted would you be? They had like the lights behind you and you couldn't even see your face. It was blurry. Or they took a low angle. You're like, bro. Exactly. Your eyes were closed. Well, how much? You want to go into outer space on a Virgin Galactic flight? The seats are for sale

and for a 90 minute journey on the VSS Unity you will pay $672,000 for 90 minutes wow you don't get to walk on the moon

you don't get to get out and float around and out of space, you literally just go up and come down yeah I'm going to wait for Jetstar to do the cheap fares, the Friday deals. Grab a seat to outer space. Right now, I've got a clip for you, Matty, in particular. It's an on-air TV fail.

Oh, God. It's particularly close to home for you, too. These are breakfast Television producers Oh no In Australia Is this your worst nightmare? It's

Bring back mad PTSD And do you guys get in trouble When this sort of thing happens? I've always wondered that I mean it depends on What the fail is Right I mean if it's

If it's very innocent And hilarious Then go for gold Right I once stumbled over The word country Three times And you can imagine how that

went three times three times right okay is this one up there i'm not sure but it's good um ali langdon is the host of the today show in australia correct with uh carl stefanovic she works with carl stefanovic he's very he's kind of like the like australian paul henry kind of thing totally yeah a real aussie larrikin. Larrikin kind of guy. They're talking to a lawn care expert about how to maintain your grass. Okay. The type of grass that they're talking about

is a traditional Australian breed of grass spelt C-O-U-C-H. That's how you spell the grass that they're talking about. This is the question that Ellie posed on the Today Show live on TV. Classic Australian lawn, isn't it? What about this one from Tarquin Walsh?

His lawn's showing plenty. See, this is like mine. And Daniel, I want to ask because my cooch is dying. And what? And I don't have... What have you been doing to it? If it's dying... Well, the dog

pees all over it. Okay. Well, that's probably why. It's a reasonable excuse. Yeah, nitrogen burns. Try to keep the dog off it and, yeah, you'll probably see results. Keep the dog off your cooch. Keep the dog off your cooch.

Keep the dog off your cooch. Keep the dog off your cooch, Ali. That's illegal. There's a word for that, Ali. I mean, horrific to have a burnt cooch, but I don't know if breakfast television is the place to talk about it, you know? I haven't seen the breakfast television is the place to talk about it, you know? I haven't seen the cooch in a while.
