The Friday song. Sorry, it's not the Monday song.

I'm not even in it Which I'm fine with Because I believe there's a strong risk If there's a Monday music video There's going to be a Tuesday music video and then a Wednesday music video Yeah, I see what you're meaning So on and so forth

and I just don't have time for that Can you confirm or deny is there one video or is there going to be At this stage there's only one video but obviously there's always been the response that Bree's got has been so huge

that she's had to make more. It's down to you guys listening, really. If you encourage it enough, it probably will happen. And look, maybe do it, actually. I'd like to see her have to shoot five music videos in a week. Oh, mate, I do not have time for that. We're going to kick the show off today with a bit of a wardrobe malfunction story.

And for this wardrobe malfunction story, I'd like to take us back to just Friday last week, actually. And we cross to fill-in producer, Joel. Come in, Joel. Yes. Tell us what happened to you on Friday night. Friday night, playing a bit of Friday night rugby. Yes.

It was a bit of a change. There's quite a few people down there watching. I mean, it was a big clash. Under lights, right? Under lights, yep. When they were working. A few technical malfunctions as well. Did you have a light malfunction during your big Friday night footy game? Yeah, huge light malfunction as well. But yes, I was playing and there's quite a few young people watching the sidelines as well. A few people drinking. It's Friday night, obviously. Yeah, it's a bit of an occasion yeah and then um i got a run and i thought i was through and i got tackled and um the guy tackled me by my shorts and uh i wasn't wearing skins probably for the first time ever and uh yeah the whole crowd saw the full

meat into veg oh um when you say you weren't wearing skins Were you wearing anything? Yeah, yeah, yeah I was wearing the old The jockeys underneath All black ones of course And did they rip off? No, they just

It was just like a tackle It just came down Everything down And yeah There was quite a few people My age in the style Watching A few people laughing

You'd think the all black jockeys That'd be like a performance factor You'd think that'd be made To not come down, right? Although we saw Seve Rees' bum in the Super Rugby final. Exactly, yeah. That came out, and I'm sure he's wearing the All Blacks one. Yeah, probably.

Right. Did it stop your run? It did. It did. It did, yeah. It came down, and then I kind of just had to go down as well. Out of shame? Oh, there was like three people on me,

and yeah, got a bit of a knock on the ground as well. Right. But you didn't, what I'm saying is you didn't make a break and then you were through and then when you realised your pants were off, just stop. Oh, no, no. And ruin your team's chance at a try. No, no, no, no.

Right. Oh, no, no. If I saw the try line, I would have gone. Because that's a glory moment, right? Exactly, yeah. That would have been a great photo. Instead, it was more of a glory, you know, like a morning glory. Morning glory, yeah. All right, great flashback, a glory, you know, like a morning glow. Morning glow, yeah.

All right, great flashback, Joel. Are you allowed back at the park? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Or have they banned you? No, it's still allowed. Luckily, there was no younger people there. Indecent exposure. Yeah, right.

Oh, good. Yeah, yeah, good. All right. That's well and truly a wardrobe malfunction. Everything right out there. And we want to open the phone lines this afternoon to start the week with your wardrobe malfunctions. Didn't have to happen over the weekend.

We'd love to hear about your wardrobe malfunctions, where they took place, who saw, what did they see, and did you manage to recover from it or are you still living it down?

We've just had a red cardable wardrobe malfunction story from fill-in producer Joel who let more than a little bit show at a game of footy on Friday night. Joel, can you just fill us in on what happened one more time? Yeah, so I got a break running down the field

and then unfortunately got tackled and the whole crowd pretty much saw the full package. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And yeah, cold night, by the water. Was it a cold night? Oh, yeah, it was freezing on Friday night. Yeah, right. Right by the water down Mount Wellington as well. Yeah,

Joel prefers colder weather. Glad you know. Yeah, just to stay humble. Hashtag humble. So we want to know this afternoon on 0800 dials AM about

your wardrobe malfunctions. Marcus has called up. G'day Marcus, happy Monday. Hello. Hello, what happened to you? Wardrobe malfunction, where was it and what did everybody see? So, I used to work with kids and last year after they went

home, we thought it would be a cool idea to get out the Twister mat. Right, that the kids usually play on. Yeah. And I did the splits and my jeans ripped all the way through, through the middle. Right, good, yeah.

All my mates and my crush saw my bright green underpants and I had to wear a jacket around my waist for the rest of my shift. Bad day to wear red undies, right, because it really draws attention to the area. Plus, it could be misinterpreted as a as they might think you're not wearing undies and it's just inflamed down there.

Exactly. Good. All right, at least you had a jacket on hand. Thanks, Marcus. Will is here. G'day, Will. How's it going? You're a truck driver,

so I wouldn't imagine that workplace wardrobe malfunctions are that big a deal for you because you work on your own. Well, yeah. I delivered to a supermarket and there was this really good-looking girl. I'd seen her for months. I thought, you know what? I'm going to ask for her number. So I called her over to the truck.

Yeah. Got down the truck. We did myself. My shorts got caught on the door latch. We did myself and ripped them right up the bum. No, that's inappropriate, Will. She would have thought that you'd planned that whole thing the whole time, that you just pervy old truck driver who's giving himself a wedgie.

We're together today, so it's worked. Oh, really? You managed to convert out of that? Yeah, I kind of just kept towards the truck and didn't turn around. So she had no idea? No. Have you told her about what happened to you and what you suffered through that day? Yeah, we still laugh about it now.

Yeah, right. You should keep those shorts, actually. That's a good memento. Definitely. Good stuff. That's very good. A few texts on wardrobe malfunctions. Someone said that they've been walking around with two buttons undone on their shirt all day

and they work in retail. You can't get away with two buttons in this workplace, but sales have never been better. So, I mean, swings and roundabouts, right? Whatever it is. Bree and Clint from iHeartRadio. This is the latest live from LA with Dean McCarthy. Bree's off today, but we do have Dean McCarthy on the show

with the latest Kiwi, and we claim this, Dean, because any time there's a Kiwi involved, it's like reclimbing Everest. It's a big achievement. Even if we're just dating somebody famous, who's the hot new couple that's basically confirmed now? It is Taika Waititi and Rita Ora today. You know, we talked about it in the show before.

Were they dating? Rumors of a romance. Today they've been photographed holding hands in Sydney. Little PDA. And there's another photo where it's zoomed in. They're at a restaurant across from each other and it looks like Taika is actually kissing her hand as they kind of dramatically

romantically embrace via hand-helding. You know, nothing too sexual or anything. But this is really cool. You know, she's in Australia doing the voice. He's over there doing Thor, the latest Thor. Taika Waititi is killing it in Hollywood. He's so hot right now. So it is only fitting that he has a so hot right now girlfriend.

Yeah, I mean, they're either dating or he's putting in a lot of groundwork to get her to star in Thor Love and Thunder. You know, he's whining, he's dining, he's going the extra mile to get the stars. And he does get big stars. I mean, I hear that's exactly how he got Chris Hemsworth.

That's how I'd get him. Yeah, right? I'll tell you that. Yeah, well, you watch out, Dean. You could get recruited as well. But that's exciting. Cool, maybe Rita Ora will spend Christmas here

in New Zealand. Luckily, yeah, yeah. Who knows? That's the latest live out of Los Angeles with Dean McCarthy, our Hollywood correspondent. Thanks to Disney's Cruella. It's in cinemas May 27th

and on Disney Plus with Premier Access from May 28th. Conditions apply. Do you remember these guys? I'm not your friend now. It's not time for my yonkers again. Excuse me? It's not time for my yonkers again. It's not time for my yonkers again.

Dead set legends. That was the Traveller family or the Unruly Tourists. I don't know what the PC name is for them. The family that came over here in the summer of 2019 and just really effed stuff up. They just went around like human tornadoes. These are the guys who wrecked hotel rooms. It all started when they left rubbish on Takapuna Beach.

Remember that? They just left their pizza and stuff on the beach and some people approached them like, hey, pick up your rubbish up and that's when the 10-year-old kid

with the Bunnings hat came up and staunched them out and just went... I'm not your friend, Sammy. It's not time my yorkers again. Excuse me?

It's not time my yorkers again. It's not time my yorkers again. They got deported. They were, honestly, they were VIPs. Did they actually get deported. They were, honestly, they were VIPs. Did they actually get deported? Well, 10,000 New Zealanders signed a petition to get them deported.

And then they got arrested outside a Hamilton Burger King. Because they, remember they did shoplifting? They stole Red Bulls from that gas station. I remember that. And like, pack and save and stuff. Yeah, they caused a ruckus in a hotel room. They literally had the best holiday of all time. And they made New Zealand headline news because of it.

They sold, honestly, they must have sold 50,000 copies of the New Zealand Herald alone. Yeah, for sure. News on those guys is... They're coming back for summer. They're headlining Rhythm and Vines. It's just that kid on the main stage. He's yelling.

It's not time for my yorkers again. It's just New Year's at midnight. The fireworks go off. They're just going to play a bit of beat. He's just going to yell. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, the news is actually they're getting an opera. He sounds like he's got a good pair of pipes on in that one.

Yeah, no, they're not going to be in the opera. It's an opera about their visit to New Zealand and everything that went on while they were here. Did they sing in an Irish accent? Good question. Is that possible? Don't know. Yeah, don't know.

Good. But apparently the opera is about all of us. It's not just about them. It's about also us. An inclusive opera. I like it. Jim and Jo, New Zealander, and our reaction to the travellers. Here is what you can expect. A great story,

a great yarn, with hilarious, larger-than-life characters, and a New Zealand public who responded in a way that only really New Zealand responds. And Bunnings hats. Surely you've got to have Bunnings hats. Very important. Surely you get a Bun have Bunnings hats. Very important. Surely you get a Bunnings hat.

They sell them at the souvenir store at the opera. Oh, that would be great. You get a programme and a Bunnings hat. That's great. I mean, I don't want to be sat behind one of the Bunnings hats in the opera theatre, but either way. Is it one of the Wybram ones? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, they get in the way.

Get them back, I reckon. They were the best part of 2019. They were better than 2020. Put it that way. They jinxed 2020. What would you rather... Oh, nah. Yeah, I reckon. They were the best part of 2019. They were better than 2020. Put it that way. They jinxed 2020. What would you rather... Oh, nah. Yeah, they did.

What would you rather have? Another visit from the Traveller family or... Another lockdown. Or another lockdown. Both pretty grum. Yeah, don't answer that. Okay, we'll get another item added to our cart after the break. Brian Clint, ZM.

I'm not your friend, Sam. It's not on my yoke again. Excuse me? It's not on my yoke Sam. It's not on my yoke again. Excuse me? It's not on my yoke again. It's too good. Bree and Clint. Bree and Clint. No Bree today.

She's away. It's just me, Anastasia, and Producer Joel, actually. You still with us, Producer Joel? Yeah, yeah, still here. Thanks. All good. Good stuff. This story I actually need to talk to you two about.

I need to cross to our Gen Z department because it concerns, and millennials will know this, but Gen Z, I'm not sure you will, it concerns the now defunct music stealing software LimeWire. Do you guys know LimeWire? The reason why my parents had to buy us like five computers growing up

because they kept on getting bugs. Yes, LimeWire. Yeah, that was a vibe. Joel, do you know what LimeWire is? No, that was exactly the same. I was ahead of my time back in the day. I used LimeWire. Then LimeWire went down.

FrostWire, I think it was something like that. Yeah. And yeah. BeerShare. Anyone BeerShare? No? Lost you there. Napster.

Got Napster out there. Oh, yeah, that was the one from the other Facebook guy, right? Yeah, good point. It was in the social network, yeah. We'll just throw back one more. Kazza. Anyone out there? Kazza, the music downloading software, Kazza.

No, but I was right into my YouTube to MP3. Oh, yeah, that's... That was the prequel, I guess. That's how Joel prepares his DJ sets. Yeah. Oh, yeah, all the time. Just dumped to USB. So this how Joel prepares his DJ sets. Yeah. Is it? Oh yeah all the time. Just dumped to USB. So this story concerns

LimeWire like I said it's a DM that we received at the ZM Online account actually someone said that they met their partner on LimeWire and I didn't realise this was a thing that you could do but they said back in the day there was a chat feature on LimeWire and they contacted them and said

how I like your profile pic and then they just kept talking for four months via LimeWire, and they contacted them and said, hey, I'd like your profile pic. And then they just kept talking for four months via LimeWire. I'd love to know the music you guys were downloading while you were chatting. Like, that'd be a real time capsule of your relationship. And then when they finished school, they moved in together, they got engaged, and then they got married, and now they've got two kids. And they still, here you go,

they still argue about whether the conversation was happening on LimeWire or BearShare. So there you go. That's when BearShare comes into it. And I ended up with a $1,000 phone bill for the first month that we were together. Ooh. That's nice.

Not the one. Stick to LimeWire. You're stealing music, but you're paying $1,000 for your phone calls. Oh my God. We want to ask the question this afternoon, like that LimeWire romance story, which I think is great, but be aware that your children will not understand at all.

They will have no idea what you're talking about. The question I've got for you guys is, what website did you meet your partner through that wasn't a standard dating site? It wasn't Tinder, Bumble, Grindr, whatever. It wasn't NZ Dating, Plenty of Fish, anything like that. I want stories of people who met their partner on

Trade Me. Or like the chat function on when you're online shopping. Yes. It asks you if you need help. Oh yeah. Imagine if you reply, hey, I don't need help but I want a partner. Are you dating the bot that runs the No Leaving website? I know what you're saying. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Are you in a relationship? How can I help you today? Are you dating the bot that runs the Noel Leeming website? I know what you're saying. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Are you in a relationship? How can I help you today? Are you in a relationship with the BNZ bot? No, no, but seriously, did you meet your partner on driven.co.nz? Yeah. I don't know what it is. The more unconventional, the better.

Totally. It's not a dating website, but it is a website. It might be a website that doesn't exist anymore. If you've got a story of love through the internet in a strange way, we'd love to hear about it this afternoon. Call us on 0800DALS.M or you can text your love story into 9696 and we will read it out for you.

Love story of two people who met and now have an entire family together after falling in love on the now defunct music pirating software LimeWire. Remember LimeWire? Remember connecting your dial up when you went to bed and then setting all your downloads to download while you were asleep so that when you woke up they were there and your mum could still use the landline. That is early 2000s energy.

So we want to know this afternoon. That dial-up sounded horrific, sorry. We want to know what's the weird, unorthodox website that you met your partner on. Tina's called up. Hey, Tina. Hey. What was it for you?

Where did you guys meet? I met my partner on a game called Oceans and Empires. Right. A social insurance game. Sorry, what was the name of the game again? Oceans and Empires. Let's call it one.

Yeah, right. Okay. Great. So you guys met on there. Were you both in New Zealand or did they travel to be with you after you fell in love on the game? He's from California. So it was a long-distance relationship. Wow.

He travelled to New Zealand seven months after we started chatting. Yeah. And then I followed him over the following year and met all his family, and we were actually married in California. Wow. Congratulations.

Did your parents think you were crazy at first for meeting up with somebody that you met on a game? Because it just wouldn't compute for a different generation, right? No. I mean, it is kind of, it's a crazy thing, but I guess people are moving with the times, busy lifestyles and easy access to the internet.

It makes things like this possible, I guess. Totally, totally. And do you guys still play the game? It's kind of your origin story. You have to keep the game alive. Well, no, we don't because it turned into a big spending game and we didn't want to put the money in it. Ah, well, memories anyway.

That's good. Thank you, Tina. Let's talk to Adam. Adam, what's the strange website? Well, not strange, but just not really a dating website where you met your partner. No, it wasn't so much a dating website.

So it was back in 2004, cast your mind back to the old Yahoo chat rooms. Oh, yes. Okay, right. So just in a group chat, seeing the old names go by, and then there was Jelly Baby 69. As a young teen, that name was somewhat appealing. So then just dropped the line, ASL.

Yeah. Oh, classic. And the old age sex location. Yeah. And, yeah, found out she was nearby and yeah, led on for three years after that. She was Jellycat69. Who were you, Adam?

I was Dirty Dog. Like I said before, early 2000s energy. This is big early 2000s energy. Yeah, I was only 15. Yeah, right. Did it work out? Are you guys still together? No, not now.

No. It did its wee thing. Jelly Cat 69. Who would have thought Jelly Cat 69 and Dirty Dog at Yahoo.com wasn't a forever love story? Wow. That's for me.

Right, okay, good. I like that. We'll finish with Amy. Hi, Amy. Hello. What's the strange me. Right? Okay, good. I like that. We'll finish with Amy. Hi, Amy. Hello. What's this strange, well, not strange, but we're just saying unorthodox website

that you met your partner on? Also an online game called World of Warcraft. Oh, yeah. No, of course I know World of Warcraft. You and your partner met on there? Yes, we did. Yeah. Oh.

Was it the same as we had before? Were you guys in different countries? Yeah, we were actually. He's Australian, so I've imported him. You imported him. Yeah, I imported him. Great. And you guys are still together?

It's worked out? Yeah. Yeah, we are. We have been together for over 12 years and married for nearly nine. What a romantic and very nerdy origin story you guys have got. It's a very unique story and one that I'm, you know, not too sure who to, you know, tell our story to because it can be taken a bit, like, odd.

Yeah, but stuff them. You guys are happy. Did you have a World of Warcraft-themed wedding? No, that would be hilarious. But no, we didn't go that far. Right, okay. Well, there's always anniversaries, I guess. Thanks, Amy.

That's really good. Thank you for sharing. We appreciate it. Brie and Clint. What's their name? What's their name? His real name ain't some shady real or fake name, baby. What is their real name?

Not the name of the game. The game doesn't actually have a name. But the name of the game is to guess whether a celebrity's names are their real name or a stage name. Usually Brie would be playing against me, but she's away. So you're going to name or a stage name. Usually Bree would be playing against me but she's away so you're going to play Anastasia. It's going to be me versus you.

Yeah. And running the game today is going to be fill-in producer Joel. Alright, Joel? Yep, all good. You've got all the names we need. We've got some A-listers.

Big time. Good. Okay, let's meet today's contestants playing for 50 KFC Chicken Dollars is Devon. Hi, Devon. Hey, how are you? Going good.

Whose team would you like to be on? Mine or Anastasia's? I'm going to go for Anastasia because she usually runs the game so it's my Devon. Hi, Devon. Hey, how are you? Going good. Whose team would you like to be on? Mine or Anastasia's? I'm going to go for Anastasia because she usually runs the game. Yeah, Stephen. That's smart. She's probably done all the research, right? I didn't think about that.

Cool. That means Morgan, it's me and you playing. Oh, let's do this. Let's do this. Come on, Devon. Anastasia, you and Devon can start. And Joel, when you're ready,

give us the first name. The first celebrity is famous golfer Tiger Woods. What do you reckon, Devin? I think it's his real name. I'm going to agree with you there. I think it's his real name. You would be incorrect. His real name is actually Aldrich Tont Woods.

Who calls a kid tiger? Get with the program, Anastasia. Come on. I totally watched this docker like a couple of weeks ago. I must have completely missed that. You missed that, mate. All right. No points to you guys. Morgan, it's me and you.

Remember, if you know this and you're confident, give me that confidence, okay? Let me know that you know it because we only have five seconds to lock in our answer. All right. All right. Here we go. Joel, when you're ready. Celebrity number two is Ralph Lauren. Of the polo shirts.

Yeah, yeah, polo shirts. Of the hats. Fake. I reckon it's real. Oh, you reckon real. Well, I'll go with Morgan, real. Are you locking in real for the answer? Yeah, locking in real.

That's incorrect as well. Yeah. His real name is actually Ralph Liftschitz and he grew up in the Bronx in America. And he enjoyed years of bullying for his name. Now he's worth $7.4 billion. I actually missed that last name. What was that again?

It was Liftschitz. No one's wearing a Liftschitz polo, are they? Oh, that less swaggy. Bugger. Okay, it was no all, Morgan. It's back to Devin and Anastasia. Come on, Devin. We got this.

The third celebrity is Bar Barbara Streisand. Ooh, Barbara Streisand. What do you reckon, Devon? I don't know much about her. One of these has got to be real soon. You reckon it's real? Wait, full gamble. No, you took too long.

Real. You've said real. I said real. You're out of time. I trust you fully. Final answer is correct. Barbara Streisand is her real name. You're said real. You're out of time. I trust you fully. Final answer is correct. Barbara Streisand is her real name. Well done, Devin.

Full guess. It's not a name you opt for. Barbara. No, you don't choose that one. No, no one chooses the name Barbara. Hey. Shout out to all the Barbaras listening. All right, Morgan, we need this to stay in the game, okay?

All right, here we go. Celebrity number four is local legend Sonny Bill Williams. Real name. Morgan, real name, right? Real name. Real name. Nothing more real than Sonny Bill. That's actually incorrect.

What? His real birth name is Sonny William Williams. No! Sonny William Williams. Yeah, and then he shortened it because I think Sonny Bill sounds better than Sonny William Williams Yeah and then he shortened it Because I think Sonny Bill Sounds better than Sonny William His parents

His parents did him dirty His name's Williams And you make the middle name William Right okay Morgan we're done and doosted That means Devin and Anastasia Win the game And Devin

We did it You just won 50 KFC chicken dollars Dinner assorted dinner assorted sunny william williams who knew i'm first sunny bill bill yeah brie and clint no brie today she's away that's brand new coldplay it's called higher power which they debuted um on the international space station or something very something very Coldplay like that. Do we know if they're releasing an album or anything or is it just a single at the moment?

No, I'd say it's off an album, yeah. Love the New U2, I'm going to come out and say it. You reckon? You can take that how you want it, Coldplay are the New U2. That's not a disparaging comment, I'm just saying these are U2 things to do big songs like that actually that is right the next time we get an Apple update

they'll chuck a whole album on our it'll be on there whether you ask for it or not so yeah good good stuff got a question for you guys producer Anastasia and fill in producer Joel

do you believe in aliens Joel first I actually don't you don't believe in aliens I kinda don't but then like I guess there's obviously something out there has to be right yeah but I've never really Aliens, Joel first. I actually don't. You don't believe in aliens? I kind of don't. Right. But then, like, I guess there's obviously something out there.

Has to be, right? Yeah, but I've never really thought about it too much. Okay, Anastasia, let me reframe the question for you. Do you believe aliens have come to Earth before? No. No, you don't. No, I'm sorry. I don't believe.

I believe in coincidences. Yeah. But I don't believe. No, I can't. I just can't. I'm sorry. Well, apparently you're wrong because they have and they're here. There's a story out from an ex-US Navy pilot who says he saw UFOs every day for at least two years. This is one source.

Well, yeah, but he's an ex-US Navy pilot. Oh, sorry. He's out there. Yeah, but he's an ex-US Navy pilot. Oh, sorry. He's out there. He's, yeah, yeah. He said he saw them every day for two years. His name is Navy Lieutenant Ryan Graves and he has gone on 60 Minutes and he said he saw unidentified

vessels in restricted airspace near Virginia Beach in the state of Virginia every day between 2015 and 2017. Wow. And he's one of several current and former military members who have spoken publicly about seeing what the Pentagon is now calling unidentified aerial phenomena. E-T-O-M-E.

Um, look, I'm kind of like Joel. There has to be something out there. Okay. And there's more and more of this stuff coming through now. Like the Pentagon itself has come out and said, look, we can't identify some of these things. That is pretty official sounding, so. Yeah.

I don't know. I don't know either. But according to Ryan Graves if you saw an alien this is a question for you if you saw an alien would you tell anybody? oh 100%

would you? that interview would be worth heaps of money but people would think this is what happens you do this and then people think about you the way that I can see you thinking about Navy Lieutenant Ryan Graves

that is true and they'll go oh Anastasia's cooked. Actually, yep, yep. Anastasia's had a big weekend at Wilkinson. Saw an alien on the way home. Mate, I'm just waiting for the afterglow, mate. Bree and Clint. But we're going to push ahead with Mind Blown Mondays.

I think we've got the stories in us, New Zealand, to make this happen. Mind Blown Mondays is where you tell us a story that blows our mind. They're usually coincidences. They're usually something that happens. You're like, whoa, there's no way that that could happen. And the idea is that you get that reaction. But sometimes the stories fall short. And when they fall short, we have no choice but to serve you one of these. It's one of the toughest, cruelest, hardest games on the radio, but I think that makes the satisfaction of nailing it that much better. Someone stepped up to the plate to tell a story today from the team,

and that person's not even here with us today. It's Producer Ben. Come in, Producer Ben. Are you there? G'day, guys. How are you? Good. How's your day off?

Day off's been interesting. Right. Say no more? No, we can... Why I'm off actually has to do with the coincidence. Okay. All right. Well, when you're ready, why don't you give as much information as you want to give?

Yeah. And just so you know, mate, I need to be honest with this, okay? The reactions need to be honest, and we've been toughening up on this. I want you to get the mind blown, but I can't guarantee what you will get. It's over to you. So when you're ready, Producer Ben, please attempt to blow our mind for Mind Blown Mondays. Okay, here we go.

So I'm away today because I, over the weekend, had a few chest pains. I've got a heart condition I have for years and years, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Anyway, so today I was in one of the wards getting checks and whatnot, and this lady comes up to me and said, you're not Ben McDowell, are you? And I was like, yeah, I am.

She said, I was one of the nurses that helped with your first open heart surgery in 1993, and I'm now here working again in a different hospital, in a different ward, and I thought I'd come out and help today. And she remembered you? And she remembered me. Are you serious? No, I'm serious.

Dead serious, yep. She did your first ever open heart surgery. She was part of that. She was one of the nurses in 1993 when I was five days old. Great. There's no question, mate. That is unbelievable. How good, right?

How good for a number of reasons. I assume that... Where did that surgery happen? Did it happen in Christchurch where you were born, or was it up here? It happened in Greenland Hospital, which is... I went into Auckland Hospital.

Okay, all right, so it was around here. But it was that long ago. She remembered you. She remembered me, because I was around here. But it was that long ago. She remembered you? She remembered me, because I don't know why. It could have been a case of young baby remembered that kind of jazz. Oh, shit, I don't remember you. I'd remember it. If I operated on a five

day old baby, I'd remember that baby's name forever. But then I kind of just think that that's part of their job, and maybe they do that all the time, but maybe that's not the case. Yeah, you can, like I'll call him Graham Norton, mate, you can get up and walk. You've survived the red chair. Congratulations.

Great work. Nice. He's set a fairly high standard for mind-blown Mondays today but if you want to have a go at beating that, 0800 dial ZM. Do you have a mind-blowing coincidence, a mind-blowing just something that happened to you? Like a, just like an

occurrence, something where two things or three things came together and you're like, that shouldn't have happened, but it did. You'll either get that noise that Ben got or you'll get and we can't predict what it's going to be, but if you want to give it a go, give us a call now. 0800 DALZ.

We'll play Mind Blown Mondays. It's Mind Blown Monday. Producer Ben, who's away today, he has heart issues and he had some chest pains, went in to see a doctor to get some scans done and a nurse came over to him and said, are you Ben McDowell? I did your very first open heart surgery when you were five days old in 1993.

Crazy. I reckon crazy. Some people have come through with a bit of skepticism. They're like, oh, wow, a cardiothoracic nurse saw him when he went back to hospital for more heart issues. I think that's overly cynical. I think in that situation, she recognised him. She was like, that's my boy, Producer Ben.

Do you reckon he was going to say that? Oh, yes, yes, that's me, Producer Ben from the Brian Clint show. That would be so embarrassing if she didn't know. Did you know he's been, because Ben and I have worked together for a long time, he's been recognised in a bar before as that guy off Clint's Snapchat. That's brutal. Yeah, but I mean, take it.

Take it where you can get it, right? So we've put it out there. Can you give us a mind blown this afternoon? And the risk is by putting yourself out there that your story doesn't quite get there and instead of mind blown, you get a... Nobody wants one of those. Nobody wants one of those.

And all the pressure is on me today because Brie is away. So let's go. Let's do it. Juliana has caught up. Hi, Juliana. Hi. Now there is pressure here. It's all on you.

I take no responsibility for the outcome. Just know that it's done, whatever the outcome, it's done with love. Okay? all on you. I take no responsibility for the outcome. Just know that it's done, whatever the outcome, it's done with love. Okay? Okay. Okay. When you're ready, please attempt to blow our mind. So mine's kind of similar to Ben's, but my husband broke his femur when he was a small child. Yes. And when he went into hospital, he had his own like hospital book. And in the back of it was my mum's name. She was one of his nurses when he was a kid. And then you, oh my God, and then you ended up marrying him. And I ended up marrying him, yeah.

And your mum didn't introduce you at the hospital? She didn't bring in this kid to see a kid with a broken femur? No, not at all. She didn't even realise until we saw her name. And she was like, oh my goodness, I looked after you. And then he told her about the traction and she remembered. You got unanimous. Juliana,

that is special. That must make you believe in fate, right? Yep. I feel a little bit sorry for Ben now because she's almost one-upped his story. They're so similar. But now Ben's going to call back and be like, this is literally the most incredible thing that's happened to Ben and you've just called in and called Story Brodom.

Sorry, Ben. You go with your head held high. Well done, Juliana. Let's go to Andrea. Hi, Andrea. Hello. How are you? Good.

When you're ready, like we said, this is all done with love, okay? No matter the outcome, we love you and we appreciate you calling. Just don't stinky fart me, please. Well, I can't help it. If it happens, it happens, okay? So when you're ready, please try and blow our minds. I'm going to hit you with my story. So my husband was down at police college,

and in his same wing, there were two guys, one from Auckland, one from Christchurch, and they looked really similar. And they got chatting, went back to their families and talked about it, and they found out that they were brothers from the same mister and the Christchurch guy was meeting his dad for the first time at their graduation. Long lost brothers who just happened to decide to go to police college at the exact same time

and were part of the exact same intake at police college. And then you meet the dad at graduation. And then you meet the dad. I've got goosebumps. That is crazy. Isn't it nuts? Yeah. I could not believe it. It's so cool.

I was a little bit thrown off there, Clint, because you made the fart sound effect before you hit the butter. Sorry, that was air leaving my body out of surprise. Poor Andrea. You put her through an emotional rollercoaster. No, you get it too, Andrea. Congratulations.

That's amazing. Thank you. I appreciate it. We've never done three in appreciate that. We've never done three in a row. We've never had three in a row. And there's a real

risk here that I'm getting caught up in the hype. So I'm going to defer Jordan for yours. I'm going to look to support from

my support team, producer Anastasia and backup producer Joel. But I want you to get this, okay, Jordan? I want you to go

home with the mind blown, okay? Okay. I'm feeling the pressure so bad right now. I know. Like we said, there's never been three from three. So when you're ready, attempt to blow our minds. Okay. Here goes. So, at the start of this year, I went to the

West Coast. I went kayaking with my boyfriend and I lost my Pandora bracelet in the river. Five months later, we go back to the west coast for a whim holiday and there's a little eight-year-old boy that was digging around in the riverbed which had flooded Maraead six times since we'd been there and he found my Pandora bracelet with all of its charms still intact. And there was no doubt it was your Pandora bracelet? No doubt. He brought it round to our house, and I looked at it,

and it was identical. Every single charm was mine. They were all there. It was the exact same bracelet. I can't fault it. I looked deep inside myself to see we were doing the right thing. I can't, Jordan, I can't fault it. You did it.

The tagline is one of a kind. No one else could have had that bracelet. It was so wild. We were doing the right thing. I can't, Jordan, I can't fault it. You did it. The tagline is one of a kind. No one else could have had that bracelet. It was so wild. We were there with my partner's uncle and he cried because he got so emotional

about it. It was very cute. Yeah, I'm going to have to give that to you. The floods, the time between it, the fact that it was dug up by some random kid.

We got it. Go with your head held high, Jordan. Congratulations. Three mind-blowns in a row. Yeah. Bree, when she gets back tomorrow, is going to think that we went with your head held high, Jordan. Congratulations. Three mind-blowns in a row. Yeah. Brie, when she gets back tomorrow, is going to think that we went soft. Wait, actually, also.

She's going to want to review these stories. Have we not done any of the fart sound effects? Because does Brie normally manually do those herself? Yeah, it's from her chair mic. Well done, everybody. That's a great result. Brie and Clint. It's a great result. Bree and Clint. Clint.

Hey. It's my birthday. It's my birthday. Bree and Clint's birthday banger. All right, birthday banger time. Bree's away today, so I'm going to have to run this birthday banger machine. Am I doing it by myself,

or are you going to help me out with this, Anastasia? Are you going to? I'm here and ready to go, yeah. Yeah, good, because I actually don't know any of the details. So, think about that. I just always let Bree do it. Yeah, man. because I actually don't know any of the details. So, I didn't think about that. I just always let Bree do it. Yeah, man. So, I never thought about it.

Let's do it. Number one songs on your 16th birthday. The best song we get today gets played in full. We'll start with Sarah. Kia ora, Sarah. Hi, how are you? Good, how are you? How was your weekend?

Yeah, no, pretty good. Pretty good. Good. Okay, when you're ready, what's your birthday? The 16th of the 3rd, 92. All right, Sarah. So, you you're ready, what's your birthday? The 16th of the 3rd, 92. All right, Sarah. So you were six. Sorry.

Have we had an issue already? No, no, we're good to go. You were 16 on the 16th of March in 2008. And here's your birthday banger. Oh, banger. Yeah. Emotional banger, yeah. I love this song so much.

She was my idol for so... Well, I mean, she won American Idol, right? Yeah. You like it, Sarah? Is it good for you? Yeah. No, great. Love it.

Cool. Okay, good start. Let's go to Tash. Tash. Hi, Tash. Hey, how's it going? Tash. I've been hanging out with Bree too long. When you're ready, what's your birthday, Tash. Tash. Hi, Tash. Hey, how's it going? Tash, I've been hanging out with Bree too long.

When you're ready, what's your birthday, Tash? 12th of April, 1991. Alright, Tash, you were 16 on the 12th of April in 2007. And Tash, here's your birthday banger. Oh, what a,

what year was this, Anastasia? This was 2007. What a 2007 vibe. Do you remember the Christchurch band Atlas, Tash? That's where I'm from.

Oh, you're from Christchurch? Yep. Full circle. Strangely topical again, too, because the guys in Atlas

used to be in Zed with Nathan King, who's currently a judge on Popstars. Oh, the show that Brie's currently on. We're starting a rumour that Brie has run away to join Popstars. Do you like your birthday bang in Tash? Not bad, not bad. Not bad. It's a rock song.

We don't get a lot of rock songs on birthday bangs. Would that work for Soft Rock Thursdays, or is that too hard? Too hard. Too hard? I think it's too hard. But I don't think that's super rocky for me. It's in the vocal.

It's in the vocal, I reckon, yeah. That's true. We'll do one more for Jessica. Hey, Jessica. Hi. How are you going? Pretty good,

just stuck in traffic. Whereabouts? Where in New Zealand are you calling from? I'm in Tauranga. Tauranga. Beautiful. What's your birthday?

22nd of December, 1986. All right, Jessica, you were 16 in 2002 on the 22nd of December. Here's your birthday banger. We found some interesting facts about this song, right? It's got a weird meaning, right? No, that was the Macarena. Oh! Yeah, yeah, yeah. Forgot about that one. The Macarena's got a weird theme to it.

Yeah. The ketchup song, though, I'm pretty sure it's just about sauce. Yeah. Do you like it, Jessica? Is that a good birthday banger for you? Oh, yeah. Definitely not convincing there, Jess. You don't really like it, do you?

It's all right. What would you vote for? Oh, definitely the Ketchup song. I mean, right. Oh, right. Okay, she is into it. I can hear kids in the background. I know you're just worried that if I play that,

your kids will get addicted to it and you'll never hear the end of the Ketchup song, right? Oh, yeah. Yeah, I'll get to that. Okay, wait there. My vote is not for the Ketchup song, right? Uh, yeah. Yeah, about that. Okay, wait there. My vote is not for the Ketchup song and everybody gets

a vote today, producer Anastasia and producer, fill-in producer Joel. I vote Jordan Sparks No Air. I 100% agree. It's a jam.

Oh, then Joel, your vote doesn't count. I was going to go last Ketchup anyway. The Ketchup song. Sarah, you've just won

Birthday Banger. Congratulations. Awesome. Thank you. Here we go Out of 2000 and what Anastasia? That was

2008 2008 Banger Turn it up Brian Clint Birthday Banger on ZM If I should die before I wake It's cause you took my breath away Losing you is like living in a world with no air Oh

I'm here alone, didn't wanna leave My heart will move, it's incomplete But there was a way that I could make you understand But how do you expect me to live alone with just me? When all we're ever gonna learn is it's all hard for me to breathe. Tell me how I'm supposed to breathe with no air. Can't live, can't breathe with no air Cause I'll be whenever you in bed There's no air, no air

Got me out here in the water so deep Tell me I ain't gonna be what I'm made If you ain't here, I just can't breathe There's no air, no air No air, no air No air, no air I walk, I run, I jump, I flew Right off the ground to float to you There's no gravity to hold me down for real

Somehow I'm still alive inside. Took my breath, but I survived. I don't know how, but I don't even care. So how do you expect me to live alone with just me? Cause our world is full of random people. Hard for me to breathe. I don't know what just means Cause I'm running from the Red and pink So hard for me to breathe Tell me I'm supposed to be When you're gone

Baby, baby, baby When you're gone I'll be somewhere Whenever you ain't there Somewhere Somewhere So deep So deep

I ain't go without me If you ain't here I just can't breathe So deep No more No more No more No air, no more Baby It's no air No air

From 2009, Anastasia, was it? 2009?

2008, I think. 2008. If you were lip syncing that in your car. Yeah. Oh, I love that song. Lip syncing. Nah, go hundies. Oh, yeah.

Turn the windows down, scream at the street. You can hit those Jordan Sparks notes, I believe in you. Nah, I'd go for the male one. Jordan Sparks beating out the Ketchup song in Atlas Crawl. Is this Atlas Crawl? Yeah. What a fantastic one-hit wonder Atlas were.

Yeah. I mean, I was 10 at the time, so I don't really remember them. Yeah, but you're from Christchurch. Yeah. And I'm from Christchurch. That's a good song, though. I've never heard of it in my life. You've Yeah. And I'm from Christchurch. That's a good song though. I've never heard of it in my life. You've never heard Atlas?

Never heard Atlas before. That's because he was born in 2007 when it was released. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You'd be forgiven for not. This song was the biggest song in the country

for seven weeks. I reckon this would have won. And then never again. If the weather was a little bit more gloomy outside. Like, you know, you kind of needed that no air kind of. Today is the only day that Atlas could have won

because Bree will have never heard this song so she couldn't vote for it. That's true, that's true. RIP Atlas. Bree's away today. She's teaching Jamie Oliver how to cook a lasagna as part of his new cooking show. Chef training.

Yeah, that's where she is. It's a new project she's working on. She's back tomorrow, though. It's a short recipe. Anastasia's here. We're going to talk about mums meddling in your relationships. Possibly the most awful thing a mother could do. I don't know if this is common, like mums getting in the mixer like that.

Yeah. But this story in particular, I was like, ooh, you wouldn't be happy with this. I think we've got to remember that the mother's intentions might be in the right place. Yes. She wants her daughter to be happy in the end of the story, but obviously the daughter finding out about the meddling

has ruined everything. Okay, alright, you tell us the story. There's a girl that was talking about this online and they were all talking about why people had called off weddings. And the chick just basically was talking about how her fiancé proposed to her. She was becoming a little bit suspicious because the parents kept on talking about why they wanted to pay for everything. And she was saying, oh, the fiancé can do this.

He bought me a really nice ring. She was getting a little bit sus about the whole situation sure anyways she decided to go to the jeweler because she was a little bit suspicious uh she walks in and she found out that not only had her mother paid for the ring it had also been purchased before she met the fiance what she dug a little she dug a little bit deeper and she found out that the mother had been paying the fiancé to date her. Every date was paid for by the mother. She'd given him the ring and she had forced him to marry her. What do you mean she'd forced him to marry her?

She'd given the money. She'd just thought it was a lie. He was there for the money. He knew that he was going to be financially secure if he was going to be staying with her daughter. Who is this guy getting an armchair ride the whole way through? He knew that he was going to be financially secure if he was going to be staying with her daughter. Who is this guy getting an armchair ride the whole way through? I can get it if the mum is like, oh, take the card. Yeah.

Take Sarah out. Get a big meal. Get a big dessert. It's on me. Yeah. Don't have to tell her anything. Nice bottle of wine. But she's funding the whole thing.

Look, so obviously she then questions her partner's intentions, right? Yeah, well, I mean, it's the whole... She's like, you're only with me because you're getting free money. Well, marriage is about true love and if money is the first thing... And them shelling out some money. Well, essentially, you go, show me you love me,

drop some coin on me. Drop some coin, yeah. No, that's true. And if he hasn't the whole way through, you would get sussed. Yeah. Where this is a little bit heartbreaking is because, like you said, the mum had good intentions.

I know. The mum went, I want my daughter to be happy. And she did meddle, like you say, for the right reasons. But she's had, this is the thing, she's had zero faith in her daughter's ability to get a guy on her own. And she's gone, I need to jimmy this thing up from the very start. That's the thing with the meddling and what's sad about it is that if no one ever found out,

you would always be happy with it. But it's just the fact that once she realised that the mum had been meddling, it was all over. Doesn't like her mum, doesn't like the fiance. Yeah, and your whole life has become a lie then. So yeah, stink buzz. Sucks for them. I want to take some calls on this as to whether this is happening.

I'm just checking to see if we've got time. Yeah. Can't tell. Can't tell because the computer is not happy. Let's give it a go. Yeah. Let's check it out there and see how we go. 0800 dials at M.

Did your mum, actually, leave the mums, we're mum bullying here. Parents in general. Did your parents meddle in your relationship? Yeah. Did they, maybe it was for good reasons, maybe it was for sinister reasons. Maybe they were like this person sucks, we're going to get them out of your life. Let's pay them to leave. Happens so often. Yeah, or maybe your parents were in there

like going, oh she's mental but just put up with her, please. Here's $150 or something like that. Maybe. I don't know. They could have just bought a ring and said, hey, mate, you want to be set up for life? Drop a knee. Drop a knee.

Yeah, and you'll inherit this when we pass on. 0800 dials at M or text to 9696. Did your parents meddle in your relationship? Bree and Clint. We're talking about parents meddling in your relationship. A story about a girl who found out that her mum has been funding her relationship, paying her boyfriend to take her on dates and even paid for the engagement ring. Which, like we said, Anastasia, is heartbreaking because her mum had good intentions.

Yeah, I know, but I mean, there's good intentions and then there's setting your daughter up to live a lie. Well, this is... That actually got really, really real, real quick. It did get really, really, really quick. We asked you guys to call in with some... People are really quite protective of this stuff. Yeah. And I get that.

Obviously, they're really sensitive stories. There's a text here, though, that I want to read out and we'll keep this anonymous, but can you read that text for us, Anastasia? This person would like to remain anonymous by the way. I have a friend

whose parents tried to pay a fiance the night before the wedding to walk away and never speak to her again. She still doesn't know and they've been married for years with kids.

Whoa! That's intense. That is just truly awful. I love the idea of waiting all the way until the night before the wedding. That's just what never makes sense. What did you think was going to happen?

Exactly. Did you think that something was going to fall over for them? They're like, this wedding can't go ahead. If it's that extreme, you should know from the get-go and you should tell them if that's how you feel. Apart from that, you can't do it the night before the wedding. Would you want your parents to tell you? If your parents hated your partner, would you want them to tell you

or would you be like, butt out? I would value their opinion. It would be upsetting at first. But if the majority of the family felt the way, yeah, I'd totally take that on board. I've had this with siblings before where we haven't liked the partner and we've expressed that. Did you get called jealous? My sisters have this uh seen it like yeah yeah initially right

right right yeah you don't want me to be happy you're just jealous because you can't get a boyfriend is it no no i'm not saying that to you you sound exactly like my sister yeah right right right right right um that parents who tried to pay the guy to walk away that before the wedding that the sort of people who, you know when the wedding is happening and the celebrant goes, does anyone here know a reason why these two should not be married?

You'd have to like, if you were the dad, you'd have to like sit on your hands and be like, don't say it, don't say it, don't say it. I'd love to know how much money they offered as well. Oh my gosh, it'd just be astronomical, surely. Not that there is a price. Well, not enough.

No, obviously not enough. Obviously not enough. But I gosh, it'd just be astronomical, surely. Not that there is a price. Well, not enough. No, obviously not enough. Obviously not enough. But I mean, a couple hundred thousand? Cain. Say less. Cain. Say less.
