what's happening everybody welcome to the brie and clint podcast featuring brie and clint
both of us the only podcast where you'll get us both unless you're listening to that weird
celebrity treasure island podcast that we did we also did that podcast yeah that was a couple of
years ago now um we got tricked into doing that podcast i'm just going to come out and say it's
gonna be honest with you we got tricked into doing it and even whilst we were doing the podcast we
were tricked again they're like the numbers are. Got Ben to look at the numbers afterwards.
Did you know some of those podcast episodes we recorded, less than three listens.
I probably was one of the listens.
Yeah, well, I hope Ben was one of them when he was uploading it.
Quite easy for me to prepare for that podcast, but it was a little bit harder.
Do you know how much fucking Celebrity Treasure Island I had to watch?
Which I enjoyed every minute of it.
I was going to say, you should be watching it anyway to support your friend.
Yeah, but I didn't have the chance to watch it at my own pace.
I had to watch it like urgently so we could do the podcast.
Like a normal person when it's on TV.
Why can't I just watch the first and last episode like all of your other friends
and tell you how great you were?
That's not true.
They watched the whole thing
Thank you
Anyway
Those are the only two podcasts
Where you'll catch us
Unless you catch
No that's it
We haven't done any others
I don't think so
But you never know
Catch us soon on our
Bitcoin podcast
That we're starting
Oh yeah let's start a Bitcoin podcast
We're both starting
A Bitcoin podcast
You'll hear that in the show
We've become slightly
Obsessed with the idea of Bitcoin.
Don't message us about Bitcoin.
No, don't do that.
Because we don't understand anything about it.
And I think deep down we don't really want to understand anything.
I just like the idea.
It's kind of how I like buying scratchies.
I have an idea for our Bitcoin podcast name.
Put it in our slots.
It's catchy.
It's a little bit risque
From the limited knowledge I have of Bitcoin
There are no coins
It doesn't exist
There's no slot to put it up
It's a play on the cryptocurrency world
Right, okay
Alright, yeah
Well, it's better than any ideas I've got
What about put your crypto in my currency?
Yeah, that'll do too
We'll work on it We'll work on it Bitcoin, crypto Guys, any suggestions out the back? What about put your crypto in my currency? Yeah, they'll do too.
We'll work on it.
We'll work on it. We'll work on that.
Bitcoin, crypto.
Guys, any suggestions out the back?
Nah.
Good.
Okay, good to know.
And Estasia?
Bit, bit pod.
Bit pod.
Wait, no, no.
Bitcast, bitcast.
A bitcast.
You replace bit
With pod
No you replace pod
Oh no
You replace pod with bit
Podcoin
Podcoin
Stop before you hurt yourself
Again
I only say this on special occasions
Ben please turn my mic off
What else did we have to talk about
Anyone
Shit I just dropped
Oh shit I just dropped my phone on the keyboard.
No, we're all good.
I think we're all good.
Okay.
Oh, God.
Cool.
Have you guys ever done...
Have you got...
Okay.
Hard drugs?
No.
No, we're not talking about that.
Have you guys ever done this thing
where you take a photo of something
that you probably shouldn't take a photo of.
Like there could be an array of things.
And then you forget that you've taken that photo and then you open Instagram
and it comes up as a suggested post.
Do you get suggested posts on your Instagram?
Doesn't it do that?
Does it scrape your camera roll and say you should upload this?
That's dangerous.
This is what I'm talking about.
So say I go like this.
See?
Oh, like the last thing you took a photo of is there ready to upload.
The last thing you took a photo of goes straight to your uploads and it freaks you out.
Especially if you've got dodgy shit on there because honestly you're one click away from sharing the last photo you took.
Yeah.
So I always delete.
I mean, if I were to take photos.
I think you can unlink your camera roll from your Instagram
and then each time you want to get something,
you have to go and get it.
But it's annoying.
And it's annoying.
But also good to avoid incriminating things.
Well, it's also easier just to not have incriminating things on your phone.
Well, I'm not talking about anything that's worth looking at.
Like, for example, the other night,
I felt on my bum cheek
that i had a lump and so i took a photo of it to see what it was because i can't see it because
no i deleted the photo because i'm smart oh sweet but is it in your recently and it wasn't like
you're recently deleted is there a recently deleted ah that's really do you not know about
it hold on your photo's still there for 30 days or 60 days?
No it's not
Go to your albums
Recent album
You guys are joking
There should be an album there called Recently Deleted
There's two photos in here?
Yeah
Oh my god
I can't get that
This is a good tip
For anyone who doesn't
Know about that
Because you might go through
And delete
Like five
Do you believe me?
Well yeah
Your face was pretty believable
Still in the cloud too
But you also know
You can do a hidden
Photos album
Holy shit
Yeah
Holy shit
I'm so
She doesn't know
How to work the cloud
She doesn't know
How to work a hidden
Photos album Okay Sorry That's the cloud. She doesn't know how to work a hidden photo zone.
Sorry.
That's the thing too.
You can't even see anything.
You can just see like a crack.
Show us then.
No, I don't know.
I want to see it.
I don't want to see it.
Ready?
Oh, flash.
So the pictures are real small.
So you will barely be able to see anything.
You ready?
Yeah.
Very pink.
The hue I got was very pink
That's all I took from that
It's not
Like if this got released to the world
I would not care
Oh okay
Post it
Post it then
Here you go
Post it
You won't
Deleted it
It's already gone
Deleted it
Your recently deleted folder by the way
Is good to know about
If you're one of those people
Who runs their phone at the red line
And you're always out of memory
And you're like deleting You're like I've deleted 5 000 photos why don't i have any
space it's because you've just moved them to recently deleted so your space is going to free
up in 30 days i can't believe i've never known that it's like your trash folder on your computer
unless you actually empty that yeah you're not going to get any space back yeah right i know i
mean i know about the trash thing on the computer but i've never thought about it on the phone yeah
my mind is blown and i can't believe that was the photo in know about the trash thing on the computer, but I've never thought about it on the phone. My mind is blown.
And I can't believe that was the photo in my trash.
What was the thing on your butt?
I don't know.
Flea bite?
I don't know.
I think, to be honest, I think it's a scratch.
Oh, yeah.
Like that's what it looks like.
Not that.
It's a claw mark.
Oh, shut up.
It's a wet mark.
Actually, yeah, I don't know
I probably need
Further investigation
Well
Wide angle
I'll just remember
To delete it out of there
Here's the ultra wide
On the new iPhone 12

We have a story now about a guy who urgently needed to go to the toilet.
So if you're sitting in your car right now
and you urgently need to go to the toilet. So if you're sitting in your car right now and you urgently need to go to the toilet,
this is not going to help you
because you'll be able to relate to this a lot.
I'd be changing the station.
Well, don't change the station.
Guys, come on.
Come on.
We've been through a lot together.
Don't go anywhere.
Guy's name is Denis Shapovalov.
Shapovalov.
He's a tennis player.
He's playing in the Australian Open at the moment.
And did you know...
Not Sharapova.
Not Sharapova.
Sounds like Sharapova.
No, Denis.
His name's Denis.
I know, but it could be Sharapova's brother.
Denis Shapovalov.
Okay?
He's not a Sharapova.
Not a Sharapova.
He's not good looking enough.
Okay.
He desperately needed to go to the toilet during his match last night.
And did you know you're only allowed a set amount of toilet breaks when you're playing tennis?
I think I did know this, but isn't it, you're allowed one per set?
Is that right?
You're allowed, so this is for the men.
I don't know how it works for the women.
I hope they get more.
The men get two toilet breaks per five game match, you know?
You mean five sets?
Whatever.
Yeah, so a five set match.
Five tennis bits.
A five set match, you get two. Two toilet breaks. Some of those games go for five hours. Yeah, so a five-set match. Five tennis bits. A five-set match, you get two.
Two toilet breaks.
Some of those games go for five hours.
Yeah, so use your toilet break wisely.
And you're drinking a ton of water.
You're in Australia and it's 50 degrees on court.
That doesn't seem right.
You should get one per set.
So he needed to go and it wasn't the right time.
Even worse, it was during a medical break,
so no one's allowed to leave the
court. Anyway, he's telling the umpire
that he really needs to go. Have a listen to this.
This was during the sit-down.
I'm going to piss my pants.
I'm not happy here.
It's going to ruin the match.
Ask the supervisor to let me know.
I'm going to piss in a bottle. Why not?
By the time he comes,
I would have been already back.
He threatens the umpire that he's just going to, in his words, it in a bottle. Why not? By the time he comes, I would have been already back. He threatens the umpire that he's just going to, in his words, put this in a bottle.
Well, what else are you going to do?
It'll put off your whole game if you really need to go to the toilet.
You can't just walk out.
I love putting it back on the umpire and going, I don't want to do this.
I don't want to put my junk in a water bottle on live TV.
But you're going to force me because I need to go to
the toilet.
And when you've got to go, you've got to go.
It's so like, takes me back to primary school.
Yeah.
Where like, I mean, you'd have to ask the teacher.
Yes.
They'd have to, you know, be like, okay, well, you can go now.
What about those teachers who didn't let you go to the toilet?
Yeah.
Those are good.
That happened to me.
Did it happen to you?
We had to get that foamy stuff that they put on the carpet a few times
when kids had accidents.
And it wasn't the kid's fault.
No.
When you've got to go, you've got to go.
And this guy admits.
He said, I have a very small bladder.
Yeah.
So I need more.
I thought you were going to say he admitted just having a small something else.
Yes.
It'll fit in a water bottle.
It's fine.
I can do it.
How good is being an adult and we get to go to the toilet whenever we want?
It's one of the small privileges I don't think we appreciate enough.
You take it for granted.
Yeah, totally.
You do take it for granted.
We want to know this afternoon, on 0800DIALS.M,
when did you really need to go?
What was going on?
Maybe you made it.
Maybe you didn't.
Maybe you didn't. Maybe like Bree on Celebrity Treasure Island, you had to go? What was going on? Maybe you made it. Maybe you didn't. Maybe you didn't.
Maybe like Brie on Celebrity Treasure Island,
you had to go in your pants.
Or New Year's, just bang.
I really need to go a lot, don't I?
0800 dial ZM or you can text it to 9696.
Your story's this afternoon about when you really,
like really needed to go.
Like bad.
Like bad.
Brie and Clint.
A player in the Australian Open has really needed to go to the toilet.
He's a tennis player, and he said he wasn't allowed to go,
and he told the umpire he was just going to go in a bottle.
So we've asked you this afternoon, when did you really need to go?
The text machine is so good.
Can I just say, when we ask this question, we normally mean, you know, number ones.
I don't.
I want either or.
We're being overrun with number ones or twos.
There's so many stories.
Oh, my God.
Let's start off with Mereheni.
Hi, Mereheni.
Hello.
Kia ora.
Kia ora.
Tell us.
Where did you really need to go?
I was in the car with the kids.
We were in traffic.
I was busing.
I had a McDonald's coffee in the car,
and I took that out and just went in the coffee cup.
Number ones, right?
Wait, wait, wait.
Number ones.
Yeah, let's hope.
Number ones, Mereheni?
All right.
Yeah, okay, good.
I thought the silence was...
Oh, yeah, yeah.
We had to check.
We had to check, yeah.
Because maybe you'd had some of that coffee and then you needed to... Can I say, as a fellow Wahine, that is quite difficult.
Whilst driving on the motorway, like, claps to you.
Yeah, one of your special skills.
Okay.
Very special.
Let's go to Jade.
Hi, Jade.
When did you really, really, really need to go?
So I was eight years old and I really needed to go to the toilet.
I was at ballet and my teacher wouldn't let me go.
So when it came to my turn, I just skipped right out of there
and I didn't quite make it to the toilet and I did a poo.
Oh, it's not a poo.
I'm like... I make it to the toilet and I did a poo. Oh, it's not a poo. And it gets worse because there was no toilet paper.
No!
So I had to walk back out to my teacher in front of the whole class
with myself covered.
You did a poo-poo in your tutu.
I just love how Jade was obviously told by producers,
let's keep it a little bit, and Jade straight away,
and then I did a poo.
I'm so sorry.
No, no, love it, love it.
You're welcome any time on our show, Jade, any time.
Thank you.
We did ask when did you really need to go, and she really needed to go.
She delivered in more ways than one.
I've got one text I want to read out for you.
Someone said, this is on the text machine.
So I live in a four-bedroom house with one bathroom.
One night my sister made some really cheesy pizzas.
My body is sometimes lactose intolerant and it just so happened to be that night.
We had just finished eating.
My sister was in the shower and I was running
around the house asking her to get out of the shower for five minutes. I end up later
grabbing a bucket and going out the back on the lawn. I never trust my sister's cooking
now and that's the second time I've had to do it.
No! to do it. No. Can you imagine the sister gets out of the shower and she goes, hey, Julia, where are
you?
And she's like, out in the back.
Not okay.
Hi, Katie.
G'day, Katie.
Hi.
When did you really need to go?
Round it out, Katie.
It wasn't me.
It was my partner.
We were travelling up north.
We're from like central Hamilton area.
I was traveling up north and he really started needing to go number ones.
And we got halfway over the Harbour Bridge and he said, like, I can't wait any longer.
So he grabbed a pump bottle out of the car and started filling it up and then started panicking because there was still a no-stop zone.
Yes.
And, yeah, so he pretty much, it filled to the top and started overflowing.
He's like, well, I can't do anything.
Like, what do I do?
And I was just absolutely in tears laughing.
I tried to concentrate on the road,
and we ended up having to stop off at a shop and buying him some new clothes
because where we were going, he had pee all over him.
We had to get the car valeted.
It was so good.
Oh, no.
How much water
does your husband drink?
I would not expect
someone to fill up
a whole pump bottle.
Yeah, I mean,
that's kind of impressive.
Yeah, there were
some alcoholic beverages,
I'll say that much.
Bree and Clint.
Let's get some news
from Dee McCarthy now.
From iHeartRadio.
This is the latest
live from LA
with Dee McCarthy. Dean's on the line with us. Dean, everybody is The Latest. Live from LA with Dean McCarthy.
Dean's on the line with us.
Dean, everybody is talking about the Britney Spears documentary.
Tell us more.
Guys, it's come out now.
I'm not sure if you can even view it in New Zealand.
They've geo-blocked it around the world.
It's called Framing Britney Spears.
Here's what you see in the documentary.
It is the full story of what Britney Spears went through,
through her young years, through her teen years,
how she was treated by paparazzi, by press, by her boyfriend,
how Justin Timberlake treated her.
You're going to be so disgusted at some of the things that were said to her
and done to her, especially in a 2021 Me Too movement filter.
You know, I'm glassing into the world so much clearly now.
When you see or hear what some of these presenters
asked her personal things, you'd be so horrified.
You would never even be allowed to say that now.
So what it does, it shows you how we got to this point.
You're going to see a whole new side of why Britney
is in the dark place she's in because of what led to this and how
she was treated and how difficult and the anxiety she must have felt one thing i love about the
documentary though they interview some friends and personal people that were close to britney
spears in her life like one of her like chaperones who was like her nanny slash chaperone she spoke
about her dad being so controlling um and it's just a really good insight into what
Brittany really went through and you're going to feel
real sorry for her. You're going to feel
really, really sorry for her when you see what
she's been through. I already have felt
sorry for her for a long time and I feel
like, you know, she's been struggling
for a while. Have you guys seen, it's come out
in the last couple of days, someone's
found an old Family Feud
clip? Oh yeah, I've seen it in the trailer couple of days, someone's found an old Family Feud clip.
Oh, yeah. I've seen it in the trailer.
Yeah.
Where she's the punchline in the Family Feud game.
Exactly.
So they're literally making fun of her,
having a mental breakdown and all these other things.
And it's just horrible.
Who's got the documentary, Dean?
You're saying it's geo-blocked.
I'm sure people will be able to find it.
Yeah.
Who is showing it in America?
In America, it was on, I think it was on FX
or something
and then it went on YouTube
and then it keeps getting
pulled off YouTube.
It keeps getting deleted
but I'm sure they're going
to share it around
the world soon
but yeah,
it's sad.
Yeah, it's full on.
It's really sad.
I've seen about five minutes
of it.
It's really intense.
If you want to try
and track it down
and watch it,
it's called
Framing Britney Spears
and Dean's right, it's really sad with the stuff that you see in track it down and watch it, it's called Framing Britney Spears.
And Dean's right.
It's really sad, the stuff that you see in it.
That is the latest live out of Los Angeles with Dean McCarthy, our Hollywood correspondent.
I love this next story so much.
So I want to talk about Prime Minister of Australia for a second,
Scott Morrison.
Yeah.
Been in the job for a little while
and there's a story floating about at the moment
where it's going viral where the Prime Minister,
Scott Morrison, made an announcement.
It was a defence announcement at an RAAF base,
so an army base.
Yeah.
Anyway, he...
The reason
why it's gone viral
is not because of the announcement or anything
he said, but it's for the song
that he picked
to walk out to the podium to
make the announcement. Do pro-ministers have
walkout songs? No. I know
Trump likes to have one, but I didn't
think that normally world leaders picked a walkout song. Neither. I know Trump likes to have one, but I didn't think that normally world leaders picked
a walkout song. Neither did I.
Anyway,
the video of him walking out
at this army base is going viral
and this is the song
that he picked.
Yes.
The idea went further because the Prime Minister, Scott Morrison,
also made a comment saying everyone who's involved in this project
is a Top Gun in my view.
So he's crushed that little...
Was he coming out to announce that he was buying, like,
everybody gets a new fighter jet or something?
I don't know.
Was it a Top Gun-type announcement that meant he could use?
Yeah, I think so.
It was something around that because he also took a photograph
in the cockpit of a jet.
Yeah, legend.
With his thumbs up.
Yeah.
He had a thumbs up.
Yeah, new profile pic.
And my favourite part about all of it, he was late to the announcement
so they actually played the song twice.
It's good. I think more world leaders should get walkout songs i think it's good for your um it's good marketing you know it's good for the
energy i think and uh this is why i've actually acquired different world leaders or ex-world
leaders around the world and what their walkout songs actually were. Oh, good stuff. Yeah, so the first one, Donald Trump, you said before,
he had a walkout song.
Yeah.
And he had a few walkout songs, but this was his favourite.
Boom-pa, boom-pa, do-pa-dee-doo.
I've got a perfect puzzle for you.
Yeah, it's good, this one.
Boom-pa, do-pa, do-pa-dee-doo.
I like how he bounced side to side as he came out.
Yeah. My favourite was when he got to side as he came out. Yeah.
My favourite was when he got stuck in the chocolate fountain.
When you're close or down, sweet.
Yeah, good for Trump.
Who else have you got?
Let's move on to Canada, to Justin Trudeau.
Oh, he's a fine-looking gentleman.
He's a tight lunchbox.
Yeah, his walkout song.
Apparently it's this.
Yeah, I walkout song. Apparently it's this. Yeah, I can see this.
This is, you know, the ladies go nuts for it.
Yep, nice.
Justin Trudeau walking out to a bit of Pony Genuine.
Good.
Let's move on to Kim Jong-un.
Oh, yep.
Who was rumoured to be dead last year.
Do you remember that?
Yeah.
And then there was rumours that his sister was taking over.
Anyway, I've done some...
Whatever it is, he's got a great haircut.
He does have a great haircut.
I had to do some real digging to find Kim Jong-un's walkout song
when he makes announcements.
Yes.
But we have tracked it down and apparently it's this.
She packed my bags last night, brief light.
Better Elton John Rocket Man.
I think I understand the reason behind it, but...
Either way, whatever the connotation, it's a great song.
It's a great song.
And let's finish it off with our own Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern.
Yeah.
People might not know this about her because she likes to go more low-key
and she has more of a pump-up song, you know, behind the scenes.
And they play it kind of low in the background for her.
But this is Jacinda Ardern's walkout song.
Snoop Dogg.
Snoop Dogg.
Works.
Drop it like it's hot.
Works.
She had to change it, though, after the cannabis referendum didn't come through.
Brianne Clint.
Interesting story out today.
And everyone's been talking about Bitcoin because in the recent couple of weeks, it's blown up.
Elon Musk has jumped on board
and he's bought $1.6 billion worth of Bitcoin or whatever it is.
And that means Bitcoin prices have gone up even higher.
Brie and I are trying to start Bitcoin wallets right now in the studio.
We're too late.
We don't know what we're doing.
Are we giving our money to a Nigerian money scam?
Probably.
We don't know.
Probably.
If we do, then we'll definitely talk about it on the radio.
Everyone is jumping on the Bitcoin train again.
Like, it's been happening for years.
Like, it's been happening for a long time.
And every time someone talks about it, you go, oh, it's a fad.
Then you end up talking about it a year later.
Then you're like, damn it, I wish I had bought some anyway.
It's worth $10,000 more.
This exact thing has happened to a songstress and UK star, Lily Allen.
Oh, yeah.
I love Lily Allen.
I love Lily Allen as well.
She's great.
The story has come out after this tweet that she did back in 2014 has resurfaced, right?
Yeah.
So in 2014, Lily Allen tweeted this.
About five years ago, someone asked me to stream a gig live on Second Life,
which I think is like a streaming service, for hundreds of thousands of bitcoins.
I said, as if, idiot. Hundreds of thousands of Bitcoins. I said as if, idiot.
Hundreds of thousands of Bitcoins.
So anyway, so I read further into it and I was like,
I want exactly how many.
So apparently she was offered 200,000 Bitcoin.
200,000 Bitcoin?
So in 2009, Lily Allen was offered 200,000 Bitcoin, right?
Yeah.
And back in 2009, it would have been worth like about a thousand bucks.
Right.
Not much.
Yeah.
You know, not much at all.
Anyway, I've done the math.
And if Lily Allen had done that gig for 200,000 Bitcoin, today she would have
$12,715,964,000 roughly, give or take.
That's what she's saying to herself now.
She would have been a billionaire.
She would have been, so to put it in context,
she would have been the wealthiest musician ever.
Yeah, absolutely.
In the world.
Well, until Jeff Bezos drops his first single.
Yeah, well, you know, but still.
No, actually, Elon Musk released that song last year.
Oh, he doesn't count.
He doesn't count.
People are calling her, or they've dubbed her song last year. Oh, he doesn't count. He doesn't count.
People are calling her, or they've dubbed her Silly Ellen.
Yeah, right.
That's quite good.
We want to talk to people who have Bitcoin this afternoon.
I want to talk to someone who's got some Bitcoin.
Yeah.
And I want to know how much did you pay for it?
So when did you get in to Bitcoin?
And how much is your Bitcoin worth now?
Did you get in in 2009?
Have you been mining Bitcoin since the 2010s?
I still don't understand what it is.
No one really understands how it works.
We're not looking for an explanation either.
We don't want to know what it is. Just tell us. How much
Bitcoin you got? What's it worth?
And what'd you pay for it? That's it.
0800 DIAL ZM. You can remain
anonymous if you want to lay low
or you can text us on 9696. And can we
have some?
We're talking about Bitcoin and we're just
going to come out first and say we have no idea what we're
talking about. Absolutely.
No clue whatsoever but there's
people out there listening to us that do know.
Yeah and we probably legally
have to say we're not advocating that anybody
buys Bitcoin. No. We don't know anything
about it.
We're just curious because if Lily Allen had done her gig
for 200,000 Bitcoin in 2010, 2009?
She would now have $12 billion and something dollars.
So if you have a story like that.
Yeah.
Do you have Bitcoin?
When did you buy it?
How much did you pay for it?
How much is it worth now?
Let's talk to Bradley.
Hey, Bradley. Hi, Brady. Brady. Oh? Let's talk to Bradley. Hey, Bradley.
Hi, Brady.
Brady.
Oh, Brady.
Brady.
Sorry, Brady.
The screen's quite a long way away, you know, getting old.
I can see it.
You've got some Bitcoin.
I do, yeah.
I've got 0.00643 Bitcoin.
Yeah.
So, Brady, when did you buy this Bitcoin?
I bought this in May 2020.
Okay, so not that long ago, about a year ago.
How much did it cost you?
It cost me $93.
Right, and how much is it worth now?
$415.
Whoa!
Whoa, Brady!
Not bad.
Whoa.
Better interest than what you're getting on some things.
How long are you going to hold on to it for?
I'm not too sure.
I'm sort of just...
For 93 bucks, you might as well just keep it, right?
Yeah, just keep it.
It's only $93 in the end.
Yeah.
Okay.
That's really interesting.
Thank you, Brady.
Let's go to Anonymous caller this afternoon.
Anonymous, hello.
Hello.
Hey, how's it going?
Good, thanks.
Anonymous, how much Bitcoin do you have?
So I don't have any anymore.
It's sort of a funny story.
Back in April 2013, I bought a scratchy and won $1,000.
Whoa.
Well done.
Yeah, I was pretty chuffed at that idea.
So Bitcoin had just dropped to $50 a coin.
Wow, so that's when it dropped to really low.
Yeah, so you bought 20 Bitcoin?
Yeah, bought 20 Bitcoin.
Sold them
for $200 a coin thinking I was
absolutely... So how much?
So how many did you have?
I had zero. Now I had 20
at the time. And you sold them for $200
a coin? Sold them for $200
a coin thinking I'm an
absolute trading master. Yeah, you're Warren dollars a coin. So you made four thousand. Thinking I'm an absolute trading master.
Yeah, you're an absolute master.
Yeah, you're Warren Buffett at this stage.
Made three grand.
Yeah, that was fantastic.
And then, you know, it kind of went up from there ridiculously fast.
So let's just say if you still had those today, it would be worth.
Oh, no.
Do you want to know?
Yeah, go on.
Your 20 Bitcoin for 2020 would be worth?
1.3 million.
Oh, wow.
Crazy.
Roundabouts.
I was kicking myself in 2015 when it crested 20 grand each.
I'm so sorry, Anonymous.
But you weren't to know.
You weren't to know.
This is the problem.
Our last person wants to be anonymous as well.
Hello, Anonymous.
How are you going?
Good, thanks, Anonymous.
How many Bitcoins do you have?
Currently, I've got 12.
You've got 12 Bitcoin?
I've got 12, just over 12 Bitcoin.
Yeah.
But many, many, many years ago when it was very cheap,
I had about 40 and it was on a digital wallet,
which is no longer existing.
Right.
So you lost some of your Bitcoin?
You didn't even sell it?
No.
Because that can happen, right?
If you don't have it in a, I don't really know,
but if you don't have it in a secure thing,
it can kind of just disappear.
Is that right?
Yeah, it was on an external hard drive,
which has just disappeared
during the years between Uniflex and...
Wait, wait.
You lost an external hard drive
which had like 30 Bitcoin on it?
40.
40 Bitcoin?
Wait a minute.
So you had 40 Bitcoin on this hard drive
and you lost it?
Yeah.
I've come to terms with it because it's about $2.6 million that's gone.
Yeah, $2.6 million on that hard drive.
That is a very expensive terabyte.
So this is what people don't understand is that because it's completely crypto
and it doesn't actually exist, there are no coins,
it depends where you keep it.
So where are you keeping your 12 Bitcoin now to keep them safe?
I've got it with a
broker. With a Bitcoin broker.
Good idea, because it's worth about, what,
$773,000?
Just under $800,000.
Just under $800,000. How much did you make last night
when Elon Musk bought all that Bitcoin?
A good amount, and I'll probably make a good
amount in the next, probably 12 months too.
Wow. Yeah, it'll probably hit $100 amount in the next probably 12 months too. Wow.
Yeah, it'll probably hit 100k by the end of the year.
Do you think your hard drive would be in any second-hand stores that I could go have a look at?
Right.
It'd be all encrypted, wouldn't it?
Fascinating, Anonymous. Thanks so much for calling.
Have a good one.
All right, see you later. Man, I want some Bitcoin.
I've just got old, lame home movies on my hard drives.
I've got bad photos from the 2000s.
It's been a long...
Kia ora, I'm Jane Yee.
I'm Alex Casey.

Sorry, we're just trying out new Instagram features.
Yeah, I'm on the TikTok.
Yeah, we're TikTok and we're talking.
Speaking of boomers using technology, this is a story about I'm on the TikTok. Yeah, we're TikTok-ing and we're talking. Speaking of boomers using technology,
this is a story about a lawyer in the
States. Excuse you. I'm not a
boomer like you. He's doing
like a court hearing over Zoom
because that's what we've got to do now.
So in the Zoom call is a judge
and a couple of other
lawyers. And this one lawyer
doesn't know how to take the cat filter
off himself in the zoom call
i unfortunately have seen this happen to a few people in the older generation it's a very formal
meeting he believes that his pa has been using the laptop before him and he's stuck with a cat
filter on him and it's not just a photo it's one of those ones that animates him into a cat
so when he talks that one, the Disney one.
The cat mouth is moving.
Yeah, the Disney one.
It turns your animal into a Disney character.
It's so cute.
It's very frustrating for a lawyer who's trying to be taken seriously by a judge, though.
And he can't get it off.
Thankfully, someone hit record.
This is the Zoom call.
I believe you have a filter turned on in the video settings
can you hear me judge i can hear you i think it's a filter it is and i don't know how to remove it
i've got my assistant here she's trying to but i'm prepared to go forward with it
that's i'm here live that's not i'm not a cat i can i can see that i'm here live I'm not a cat I can see that
I'm here live, I'm not a cat
Oh my god
A nice judge would have put a cat filter on himself
You know, to make him feel safe and accommodating
But the other lawyer on the case is going to go
This guy's not taking it seriously
Throw him out, judge
Throw this case out right now But the other lawyer on the case is going to go, this guy's not taking it seriously. Throw him out, judge.
Throw this case out right now.
You know what was even more awkward that I heard about this is that he was representing Puss in Boots.
And Puss in Boots was up for some really bad crimes.
And they couldn't take him seriously.
Yeah, that's true, that actually.
You know what they say?
The best bits on this show come from Google going down under.
Google, are you down, down, down, down, down, down, down?
What the hell?
I think Google's actually...
Nah, sorry.
No good?
I like it when you do a nice clean. I think Google's actually... Nah, sorry. No good? I like it when you do a nice clean.
I think Google's down.
It gets to the point.
It says what it's supposed to do.
I think you're getting too creative for your own good there, Thomas L.
Okay, I'll go back to the drawing board.
All right, Google down.
It's where I give the questions that you guys have to Google
and the fastest person to yell out the answer gets a point.
First three points wins.
And, Matt, you are taking on the team this afternoon.
Hey, Matt.
Hey, how are you?
Good, thank you, Matt.
Now, what device are you going to be Googling on?
On my computer.
Okay, perfect.
That means laptops all around here for the team in studios.
Yeah, we're locked in.
Everybody present?
Anastasia?
Present.
Producer Ben?
Hey, mate. Yeah, we're locked in. Everybody present? Anastasia? Present. Producer Ben? Hey, mate.
Yeah, we're good to go.
All right.
First question.
Yell out the answer as soon as you get it,
and I'm looking for the most common answer on Google.
Good luck, Matt.
All right, here we go.
No worries.
Question number one.
Who won Big Brother Australia in 2004?
Start Googling.
Truva Butler. Truva Butler. Trevor Butler.
Trevor Butler.
Trevor.
You need to be clear, Anastasia, and I got that just in time.
It is Trevor Butler.
He was known for scaring housemates around the house.
Picked up, I think, the only ever $1 million that was given away
on Big Brother Australia.
Question number two, one point to Anastasia.
What season of RuPaul's Drag Race did Michelle Visage join the show?
What season?
Three.
That's correct.
Did you Google it or just know?
No, she told us yesterday and I remembered it.
Good.
So slight competitive advantage there.
All right, one to Anastasia, one to Clint.
Here comes question number three.
Exactly how much is one Bitcoin worth right now?
63,976.05 cents.
It could have changed since I Googled it,
so I'll take your word for it.
Two to Clint, one to Anastasia.
This is how much I've been Googling Bitcoin.
All I typed in on my Google was how much is,
and it came up straight away with Bitcoin.
Mine just comes up with how much is cheese worth at countdown.
All right, question number four.
Two to Clint, one to Anastasia.
What year did the first McDonald's open?
What year?
1955.
Nice work, producer Ben.
15th of April, 1955 in San Bernardino, California.
Damn.
Good work, Ben.
Very well done.
Sometimes I think Ben is even playing, but then he just comes out like that.
He could just give you a head start.
Matt, how are you going over there?
Yeah, I'm still here.
It's a tough game, eh?
Come on, Matt. You got this. It's a tough game, eh? Come on, Matt.
You got this.
It's tough.
All right.
One to Clint, one to Anastasia.
No, two to me.
Oh, two to Clint.
Sorry.
I'm on the custom victory.
I've never won this game.
All right, here comes question number five.
Where did Art Green grow up?
Googling.
Munbra.
That's right.
That is right. All right. I was on the verge of just taking a wild stab in the dark. I's right. That is right.
All right.
I was on the verge of just taking a wild stab in the dark.
I was going to say Topor.
Everyone is all locked out.
It's between producer Anastasia and Clint.
Here comes question number six.
How old is Dolly Parton?
74.
75.
Anastasia's got it.
No, I went too early. How did you get that wrong? It's right in front of you. 74 75 Anastasia's got it Oh no
I went too early
How did you get that wrong?
It's right in front of you
I just saw the 7
And I went for it
The pressure does strange things
To you in this game
It's right in front of you
It's all fair
Hey sorry Matt
Not your week this week
Unlucky Matty
No worries
Anastasia's undefeatable
I think
Undefeatable
I want to ask you Are you someone who You know Sorry. Anastasia's undefeatable, I think. Undefeatable. Bree and Clint.
I want to ask you, are you someone who, you know,
you take the doctor pretty seriously?
Well, I don't go there for a laugh.
No, but, like, if a doctor tells you something,
you're not going to be like, oh.
I don't question it.
Yeah, you're like, it's from a doctor.
I believe the doctor.
I paid $45 for this advice.
Yeah.
I'm going to take it.
If the doctor tells me to take all the antibiotics
and not stop halfway through, I'm going to do that.
Correct, yes.
So that's why I thought I'd bring this information to the show
because there is a doctor that he's a GP.
He's released some information about something that all of us do
and it could be bad.
Well, actually not all of us do this.
Some people do this. Yeah. And it could be bad for your health., actually not all of us do this. Some people do this. Yeah.
And it could be bad for your health. Do you want
to have a listen? Do I?
Well, I mean, this could help you.
Right, okay. You said you take
verbatim what a doctor says. Fair enough.
He's a real GP. Yeah.
So you're going to take this advice.
Yes, okay, deal. Okay, cool. Let's have a listen.
Don't hold in your farts.
The average person farts 20 times a day.
Everybody farts.
Gas forms naturally in your stomach as a waste product of digestion.
It gets mixed with air that you swallow when you eat and drink.
If you hold in a fart, you can cause yourself heartburn, bloating and pain.
The gas could come out as a smelly burp or make your breath stink.
No, that's not a dog.
No.
No.
That's not a dog. God, you took that on board early. That's not a dog No No That's not a dog
God you took that on board early
That's not real
Brian Clint
Teaser before
Someone on the show
Has had a bit of a cry today
It's been an emotional day
There's a bit of
There's a bit of loss
There has been a loss
There's been a loss
There has
There's some grieving going on
Someone has had An important part of their life taken from them.
I'm trying to make this as serious for you as possible because –
No, you're taking the piss out of me.
A little bit.
But I think people will relate.
Okay.
I think they will.
So you're willing to say – I don't want to cry shame you.
You're willing to say it's you who cried today? I'm not ashamed of crying. No, I'm not ashamed of crying either. I think they will. So you're willing to say, I don't want to cry shame you, you're willing to say it's you who cries it?
I'm not ashamed of crying.
No, I'm not ashamed of crying either.
I think it's good.
I think it's good too.
I mean, sometimes there is...
I've never cried about this though.
No, and I think sometimes, you know, you do cry about silly things,
but that is me.
I definitely do that.
Let me set the mood for you.
When you're ready, tell us what upset you so much today.
Today, I said goodbye to a member of my family.
That member was my 2012 Mitsubishi Lancer.
And you know what?
You're taking the piss, but I said to you,
I sold it to these lovely people who are from Foxton
and they came to the airport and I went out to the airport
to drop it to them.
And it was a lovely woman.
She bought it for her daughter.
Yeah.
Her daughter's first car, which nice first car.
Nice first car, yeah.
Lovely first car.
Especially with the Rimsbury put on it.
Yeah, it looks awesome. It's a good car. Good looking car, yeah. Lovely first car. Especially with the Rimsbury put on it. Yeah, it looks awesome.
It's a good car.
Good looking car.
Yeah.
And I wasn't emotional.
Like I drove it out there, didn't even think about it.
Did you clean it out?
I cleaned it out.
It looked real schmick.
It looked lovely.
Find any of your 2013 CDs that you listen to.
Did you check the CD player?
You joke.
Oh, I left something in the CD player.
We can get it back. Anyway. We can get it back.
Anyway, as I handed them the keys, I kind of choked up a little bit.
And I was like, I said to them, I was like, you enjoy it?
She did right.
I was like, she's been a good girl.
She enjoys a big drink of 91.
And then I get into my partner's car and I cry.
And my partner goes, why are you crying?
Why are you crying?
Yeah.
And I go, this is what I said.
I've had so many memories in that car.
And I'm never going to see her again.
That's the thing you will see it again.
It's New Zealand.
One day you'll drive past it on State Highway 1
and you'll go, was that my car?
I think that was my car.
And every black Mitsubishi Lancer you see
from this day forward, you'll wonder.
I'll look for her in crowds.
Is that my car?
Yeah.
I'll look for her.
So real tears over selling a car.
I had real tears.
I kind of get it because I can see,
I know you and I know the emotional attachment you put on things.
You bought that car yourself and when you bought it, it was brand new.
So you would have worked hard to get that car.
Oh, yeah.
You transported that car over here from Australia, even though I told you it was a stupid idea.
And I agree with you.
You have secondhand Mitsubishi Lancers in New Zealand.
We could have got you another one if you love them so much.
It was a little piece of home.
Yeah.
And it signifies your journey over here.
But at the end of the day... Absolutely.
I'm going to cry again. I don't
want to talk about it anymore. Stop.
If the family are
listening at the moment, probably reached Topol by
this stage, just know that car
you're driving right now... It's been well
loved. It's a taonga. It's a special thing in Bree's
life, you know. And I know, because
I saw the girl, her eyes light
up. I know, it sounds so girl, her eyes light up. I know it
sounds so stupid but I looked at her and I
thought you're going to really enjoy this car and it's going
to a good home. She's going to cry
again. This is too good.
We want to know
this afternoon, what did you cry about?
And by that I mean things that people probably
find a bit silly that you cried about.
Something you thought you would never cry about.
Something that maybe you can even admit is stupid to cry about.
Yeah.
I want to have a little group of people on this afternoon that doesn't make me feel so
silly.
0800 DIAL ZM or you can text it to us on 9696.
Maybe my car's listening to us right now.
Maybe she is.
Maybe she's got us on the dial.
Brie and Clint.
We're talking about stupid things that you cried about
because today Brie said goodbye to her car.
She sold it.
I've had it for 10 years and I've grown up in that car.
You were so melodramatic about it.
I can't.
I don't know.
I've got an attachment to things.
It's been sold.
It's gone to Foxton to a young girl who's going to have just as many adventures as you had in it.
And it made me, like, I was able to give it away because I knew it was going to a good heart.
So we're asking what did you cry about?
I've got another car-based one that's coming on the text machine for you.
I'm just going to read you.
Okay.
And I think you'll relate.
So what did you cry about?
I wrote my car off mid last year.
And when I went to the car yard
to get everything out of it
I cried like a baby.
Knowing that she was dead
and never going to be loved again
was horrible.
That's horrible.
I didn't want to leave her there.
She's in a better place now.
She's not. No, she is. She's in a small aluminium square. She's not. No, she is.
She's in a small aluminium square.
They go to heaven too.
So what did you cry about?
Oh, $800 at him.
Eilish.
Hi, Eilish.
Hi.
Hi.
What did you cry about?
One time when me and my boyfriend used to live about 10 minutes out of town,
we had gone and got burgers and when I got home,
I dropped mine and I just started bawling.
I would cry over that too.
Did your boyfriend do the right thing
and give you his burger
or at least half of his burger?
I think he offered
while he was like trying not to laugh at me as well.
But yeah.
Oh no.
Someone on the text machine,
very relatable to me,
they said,
I cried over selling my Lancer as well.
She went to the scrap gods.
I had a lot of good and bad memories in her,
and I still tear up looking at photos of her.
Maybe it's a Mitsubishi thing.
Could be.
Maybe the three diamonds represent individual tears.
Tina is here.
Hey, Tina.
Hey.
Hi.
What did you cry about?
So this was very recently And I just cried
Because it was the last episode
Of my favourite
Favourite TV show
Yeah
And I think the favourite
Of millions
Yeah
Oh my god
What TV show was it?
What show?
The Big Bang Theory
No you get out of here, Tina.
No, Tina.
That's Bree's favourite show as well.
I will cry angry tears.
No, Tina.
You know better than that, Tina.
Listen to Tina laughing her head off.
Yeah, she was sad then.
No, that's good, Tina.
You had me so hooked. I was like, oh, what TV show?
And then you dropped that on the show.
Thanks, Tina.
Have a great afternoon.
Bye, Tina.
Georgia is here.
Hi, Georgia.
Hey.
What did you cry about?
I cried about my car too.
Did you?
Yeah, so I feel you.
I sold it to a friend though, and so I'd always go to her house
and we'd have some lemonades and I'd cry about it
and even take selfies with it.
With your car?
So you'd go and visit her sometimes?
Yeah, I do, I do.
The first time it was real hard and real emotional,
but then after lemonades it was all selfies.
Oh, my God.
Please tell me, did she...
Crying in the selfies.
Did she recognise you after, like, when you went and saw her?
I think so.
I still felt the connection.
Yeah, I can still feel it now,
even though I know the car's off down the country.
You should have kept a key to her, just in case.
I had to give that over.
Just quickly, someone texted and said,
I cried when my partner said Ronda Rousey was hot.
And someone said, I cried when my flatmate ateonda Rousey was hot. And someone
said I cried when my flatmate ate my
yogurt. Angry cry.
That's totally fair. I stood on a
snail when I was pregnant and I
called myself a murderer and I
had to bury the snail.
Yeah, but you've got a reason. You're pregnant.
Someone else said I cried over when
my first cell phone was
stolen because of all the memories and stuff that was on it. Yeah. That's fair. I cried over when my first cell phone was stolen because of all the memories and stuff
that was on it. Yeah.
That's fair. I cried when I sold my first
house. Same as selling a car. I will cry
when we move out of our house.
When my daughter was born, I will cry
when we move out of the house. You have an attachment to it.
What if she was born in the car? What if your
next baby's born in your new Audi?
If my baby was born in a 2012 Mitsubishi
Lancer, then maybe.
Yeah, so maybe that's, you know, it could happen.
You didn't have a baby in it.
You don't know that.
We're just talking about how I cried when I had to give my car up today.
Yeah.
I've got another car, so it's fine.
She's not, like, she's not crying on the bus.
No, but it was just a lot of memories attached to it.
And I was saying to you, what if your wife gave birth in your car?
Then you have that memory and that attachment.
Sure, I'd probably want a new car if my wife gave birth in it.
No, because there's the memories.
Life came out in that car.
Other stuff would come out too.
A lot of other stuff.
Someone texted her and they said,
I can't give my car up because I gave birth in it six
years ago. Now the car just
sits in my driveway. Right.
See, yeah. That's a memory.
It is a memory. There's an
issue with attaching emotional,
making emotional attachments with inanimate
objects though. That's how hoarding begins.
Do you think if like someone has a home
birth, like in a pool. They cut out
that piece of the lino and it goes to the next house with them.
Like that blow-up pool sits outside then and is used as, you know.
They hop in on special occasions.
All right.
Birthday banger time.
This is where we take your birthdays.
We figure out what was number one on your 16th
and then we play the best one in full.
Hi, Gillian.
Hi, Gillian.
Hello.
Hello.
Welcome to the show.
Thanks.
First I want to say, long-time listener, first-time caller.
Hey, welcome on board.
Great to have you here.
Great to finally have you on.
What's your birthday?
The 9th of November, 1998.
All right.
You were 16 in 2014 on the 9th of November.
And Gillian, here's your birthday banger.
Banger!
Massive.
That is a huge one from Savage and Timmy Trumpet.
The definition of a banger.
Definitely, that was definitely a banger back in the day.
Yeah, when you're 16, that's going off.
Okay, wait there.
Let's get Phoebe on.
Hey, Phoebe.
Hey, Phoebes.
Hi.
Welcome to Birthday Banger.
Good to have you here.
Thank you very much.
I don't think mine's going to be quite as good as hers, though.
I reckon it's going to be a ripper, Phoebe.
What's your birthday?
Second of the second, 1966.
You were 16 in 1982 on the second of February. And Phoebe, this is yournd, 1966. You were 16 in 1982 on the 2nd of February.
And Phoebe, this is your birthday back.
I come from a land of love.
Oh, yes.
And you know what?
I'm Australian.
No.
Drop it.
What are the odds of that?
Phoebe, as a fellow Aussie, I say thank you for bringing this to the show.
I think I got a good one.
That's a great one.
Yeah, I think you got a good one too.
That's a great song, Down Under by Men at Work.
Last person, Tracey.
Hey, Trace.
G'day, Trace.
Good afternoon.
How are you?
Good, mate.
How are you?
I'm great, thanks.
That's very good.
Let's see what you get.
Tracey, what's your birthday?
11th of November, 1978.
Right, you were 16 in 1994 on the 11th of November.
And in the 90s, this had a number one hit.
I'm your baby.
Oh.
You know what I need to do.
And I hope you'll die.
Huge.
I'm your boy for me.
What year was this?
1990?
There wasn't a single school disco for 10 years after this song
where this wasn't played.
And kids did that awkward dancing where their arms were fully extended
without holding on to each other.
Yep.
So many first pashes would have happened to this song as well.
A lot.
Oh, definitely.
Do you remember that one, Trace?
I sure do.
Yeah. The song or the Trace? I sure do. Yeah.
The song or the pash?
Both.
Both.
Okay, wait there.
Hard one today.
Three very different songs.
I like them all.
Very different.
All for very different reasons.
Yeah.
I mean, as an Aussie,
I'm always, always picking
Down Under Men at Work.
Are you?
That's my pick.
I'm not going to stand in your way
if it's what you really want.
No, you pick what you want.
No, but I want you to have it.
I'll just let you know
that Timmy Trumpet
is also an Australian.
That's true,
but it's only because
we played that song
and that song does get played
on ZM,
whereas when was the last time
you heard Down Under on ZM?
Ross Boss is going to have kittens.
Oh yeah.
Phoebe, you've just won a birthday bag.
Congratulations.
Yes, Phoebe.
Yay!
Nice work, babe.
You're going to make yourself a Vegemite sandwich.
Come on!
I'm going to. The Trailhead Full of Sunday Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover Flying back from a man in Brussels
Six foot four and full of muscle I said, do you speak my language? Thank you. For me there's no one mentioned Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder
You better run, you better take cover I'm going to go. Flying in a Den in Bombay With a slack jaw, not much to say
I said to the man, are you trying to tempt me?
Because I come from the land of London
And he said, oh, you come from a land of London
Yeah, yeah
Women go and get under
Can you hear, can you hear my thunder? Oh, yeah. Thank you. ZM Brian Clint
It's the winner of Birthday Banger today
From Men At Work
It's Down Under
Do you hear that thunder?
Bloody hell
Taking out Timmy Trumpet and Boys to Men.
Someone on the text machine now said,
just for fun, you should play The Voice.
Then back it up with Dale Braithwaite, The Horses.
To Aussie Wednesdays.
Is it Wednesday?
It's Wednesday, aye.
It's Wednesday, yeah.
Short weeks always do that to you.
Yeah, they really mess me up.
Bree and Clint. Look, always do that to you. Yeah, they really mess me up.
Look, listen up, New Zealand.
This is a pretty, you know, pretty confronting story that's come out this week, Clint,
where customers around the country have noticed
some of their favourite chips...
Disappearing off the shelves.
Disappearing.
There's a shortage and people are starting to notice.
And when I saw this story breaking earlier this week,
I thought we need to get to the bottom of this.
It's the news people actually care about, you know.
It is.
If you can't get chippies, especially during summer for a barbecue,
there's going to be hell to pay.
It's not good.
So the information we have received, Clint, on this evolving story
is that eater who makes uppercuts, cheese balls, munchos, ripples,
apparently quite hard to find.
Is there potato in a muncho?
I wouldn't have thought.
Maybe.
Look, I don't know.
I don't know.
Maybe.
I'm not an expert. I just like
to eat them. But then see, that would be you
assuming that there's a
potato shortage. Well, I would assume
that a potato chip shortage would have to be caused by
a potato shortage. Surely. Well, no.
As the lead journalist on this story
for our show, I've done some digging
and I've come across the reason as to
why there is some shortages
of these chips. Okay.
Apparently, ETA said stock shortages are affecting these certain chips
because of the installation of a state-of-the-art certain piece of equipment
at their Menacow site.
Oh, right.
So it's their fault.
Well, they're installing some high-tech stuff to make the chips better.
Doesn't sound very high-tech if it's caused a chip shortage.
And more energy efficient.
Right, right, right, right.
Look, you know, and as the two leading journalists on this show,
we thought we need to get a comment from someone on the ground,
someone who knows what's going on,
so we know when to expect this shortage to stop.
Have you got an expert on the ground?
Clint, let's cross live now to the lead engineer who's on the ground,
Engineer Jim Calderplotz.
Are you there?
G'day, guys.
Hey, Jim.
Is that Jim, lead engineer?
Oh, yeah.
And just to confirm, there is potatoes and munchies,
so just that's confirmed.
Okay, good.
Well, there you go.
Oh, you learn something every day.
Thank you, Jim.
I thought he was an electrical engineer, but turns out he's a chip engineer.
He's also a potato expert.
Better everything.
Jim, we just want to know,
when can we expect the installation of this state of the art equipment
to be finished?
Well, straight away, it's obviously my fault.
It was a bad installation.
Right.
Good on you for front footing that, it's obviously my fault. It was a bad installation. Right. Good on you for front-footing that, Jim.
We appreciate it.
Please continue, Jim.
We know you're a busy man.
Sorry, guys.
It's just hard to say it.
It's good to come clean.
It's my fault.
There's millions of dollars and, you know,
everyone's calling me now.
Like you guys.
Yeah.
It's okay, Jim.
Breathe. Breathe through it, okay, Jim. Breathe.
Breathe through it, okay?
You know what?
We respect you more for coming clean about it.
That takes a lot of guts, Jim.
Do you have a timeline for us, Jim?
Maybe next Christmas, okay?
Maybe next Christmas, okay.
Thanks, Jim.
We're going to let you go, man, okay?
Thank you.
And there it is, live, on the ground, Jim Calderput's the lead engineer.
He sounded a lot like Producer Ben.
Slightly.
Brian Clint.
Like I said before, I'm pretty sure Hell Pizza might have clocked Valentine's Day.
They do this, okay?
This is what Hell Pizza do.
They do stunts, which are controversial, and it gets them a lot of attention.
They used to do, you can say condoms, right?
Yeah.
They used to give out Hell Pizza branded condoms.
That's interesting.
It is interesting.
It's even more interesting if you ever went home with a guy and he pulled out a Hell Pizza one. You go, no, no, no, no, no.
Don't use a promotional condom on me, please.
Yeah, who is using promotional condoms?
Splash out on the real thing.
They've done lots of things like that before.
This Valentine's Day, if you order a pizza from Hell Pizza,
you get a gift with purchase.
You get a gift?
Yeah.
And the gift makes a sound.
And the sound of the gift that comes with the pizza sounds like this.
An electric toothbrush.
No, that's not an electric toothbrush.
That's a great gift.
No, if you buy a pizza from Hell Pizza for Valentine's Day,
it comes with a, I don't think I get the wording right,
a...
Leaf blower.
Mini bullet vibrator from the adult toy megastore.
They're not cheap.
No, they're not cheap.
How are they dishing out hundreds of these things?
I mean, it's only a little one, but I imagine it still... Oh, trust me, none of them are cheap.
Right.
They're all quite X-y.
Maybe they got a deal if they bought bulk.
Buy in bulk and get a deal.
If you buy 100 today, you get like 10 more for free.
Surely they don't come with batteries, eh?
Surely they...
Maybe that's an upgrade you can add to your pizza order.
They go, would you like to include a four pack of double A's?
Yeah, do you want batteries with that?
Whatever it is, I think it's an opt-in thing. Because you'd hate someone to order their pizza and go, would you like to include a four-pack of double A's? Yeah, do you want batteries with that? Whatever it is, I think it's an opt-in thing
because you'd hate someone to order their pizza and go,
oh, it's come with a lip gloss.
Yeah, it's not a lip gloss.
Whatever you think it might be.
But, I mean, if that's your jam,
then how pizza this Sunday, Valentine's Day in New Zealand?
Why the hell not?
I mean, you know.
It's a vibe.
It's a two for one deal.
