Starting point is 00:00:00 For a few years, in the 1970s, the Mr Asia syndicate made millions. Heroin creates its own market. It acts like a form of play. Until jealousy, betrayal and murder brought it all crashing down. Then he just pulled out a gun, shot her in the back of the head, and then said to Wayne, you're going to help me bury her. This is Mr Asia, A Forgotten History. All episodes now available on iHeartRadio, Apple, Spotify
Starting point is 00:00:27 or wherever you get your podcasts The ZM Podcast Network Play ZM's Brian Clint Cheers to Max, available on Neon Watch the latest movies and TV series from Max Tonight we are going to witness the most anticipated show in the history of professional radio. Danny, Brie and Clint.
Starting point is 00:00:55 Hello everybody and welcome to the Brie and Clint show on the first day of Secret Sound. How good? Yes, it's back baby. In a big, big way. 10k on the line. You can have your first guess at 4 o'clock, and then we'll guess again at 5. Also, Super Bowl Monday here in New Zealand. I just watched the halftime performance with Kendrick. It was fantastic. I cannot imagine being Drake right now.
Starting point is 00:01:20 On the biggest stage in the world, Kendrick does this. And he name-checks Drake in the world, Kendrick does this. And he name checks Drake in the song. Yeah, but you know what? Drake does have that career. He can fall back on it. I heard Degrassi High is coming back. Oh, I see what you mean. I heard that they're going to reboot it.
Starting point is 00:01:37 So Drake always can go back to acting. True, true. Degrassi High is forever. Yeah. Yeah, absolutely. Rat beef's a temporary. Degrassi is forever. Is forever. And, absolutely. Rat beef's a temporary. Degrassi is forever. Is forever.
Starting point is 00:01:46 Brie didn't see the halftime show because she's been trying to connect her computer to the work Wi-Fi for an hour. Honestly, I feel like we had a special technician come into the room and he goes, we can sort this out for you, Brie, no problems. We just need your username and password. And I said, what if I don't know my password? I was a nightmare for that guy. I literally was a nightmare. Connecting to the new work Wi-Fi system is harder than solving the Da Vinci Code.
Starting point is 00:02:16 Bree then chose to have a rant about how often you have to change your password. Why do I need a password for everything? I said, I'll just save it to my laptop. That's why I don't know what my password is. He just looked at me like, oh, you are the reason I want to quit my job. Shout out to people in workplaces who have to deal with us people who don't know our passwords. We're so sorry. Okay, let's get into it.
Starting point is 00:02:36 Secret sound guess in one hour. First, though, tradie versus lady. There's $50 cash up for grabs, and the tradies have the chance to draw a level if they win today.

Starting point is 00:02:53 that we didn't even mention that Dish of the Nation quarterfinals have gone live in our Instagram story. Did we not even say it? We didn't even say it. There's so much happening today between Secret Sound and Super Bowl and Brie not being able to get on the WiFi that we didn't even mention that the Dish of the Nation voting is live

Starting point is 00:06:58 which is New Zealand's biggest secondary school's rowing competition. And we actually have a Māori Cup champion or competitor in our mid-score here. Let's put it this way. I was rowing in the second eight and there was seven of us. Oh, okay. Were you the coxic? Nah. No, the cocks.
Starting point is 00:07:17 No, I call him the coxic. I caught two crabs in one race and almost took my teeth out. You caught crabs? Yeah, twice. I heard a lot of teenagers catch crabs at Marty Cup. Yeah. It's just the nature of the sport. It's what happens.
Starting point is 00:07:32 Did you wear Zooties when you were in the rowing team? What's that? Zootie, the little leotard thing. And the knee-high socks. Cute. Well, the Marty Cup have confirmed today that they are banning year 14 students from competing. Oh, no.
Starting point is 00:07:50 If you're not good with maths, school in New Zealand runs from year 1 to year 13. Up until now, students who had been held back a year or that had graduated but the school made some BS course so that they could stick around and row for another year. That scandal. When they were already 18-year-old fully grown adults competing against children, that's now against the rules.
Starting point is 00:08:16 I mean, let's be real though, 17 to 18, that big of a difference? Pretty big of a difference if you can get a whole boat of them. I mean, I was full grown at 13, so... But if they were trying to weasel the system and you know... It's a bit of an advantage.
Starting point is 00:08:35 And bring people back, I get that. But what about the people who've just been kept back a year? Yeah, too bad. You don't get to go to Marty Cup. That sucks. Because you failed school, you don't get to go to Marty Cup. That sucks. Because you failed school, you don't get to go to Marty Cup. That's your punishment. We had in our year 13 class, we had two year 14 students, two boys. Okay.
Starting point is 00:08:54 And you better believe we got them in the first 15. You better believe it. What a man. They were in the first 15 when they were year 13. So they were already experienced. And then we're like, you guys are in. So then we'd go and play other schools and they'd be like, hey, didn't those guys graduate?
Starting point is 00:09:07 And we're like, nope, they definitely didn't graduate. Like, that kid's got a full beard and a mortgage. And he drives a minivan. He's got eight kids. I looked like one of them, which was great because it meant that I could use his ID when we went to town because he was obviously 18. But you wouldn't do that, obviously. But I didn't. I would town because he was obviously 18. But you wouldn't do that obviously. But I didn't. I would never do that. I could have.
Starting point is 00:09:27 You wouldn't do that. I got questioned when I was younger for being too old for a competition once. Oh yeah? Like I was never really a basketball player. I was more soccer, softball, athletics and then when I turned 13 my
Starting point is 00:09:43 mum was, you know, she was a ref in basketball she loved basketball she's like join the basketball team come and I'll put you in a club team so I was like oh okay so I was late to coming get away with some stuff I was late to coming to the basketball side anyway I've turned up and I'd been playing for a couple of weeks it was on like a Friday night and by like the fourth week I'd played and because, like I said, I was this size when I was 13, I was enormous. Like I'm 5'10 for context and I'm pretty sure I was like 5'10 when I was 13.
Starting point is 00:10:14 There was parents asking the association for my birth certificate. They were like, where's her birth certificate? This is unfair because our team started to dominate because they'd just stand, I'd be literally at the bucket and I'd just like, that's wrong to me and I'd just put it in. And they were like, where's her birth certificate? She's a high school student. You're like, no, no, she's just massive.
Starting point is 00:10:37 She's just enormous. Your mum's like, I know she looks big But she's just free range That's a true, dead true story They were so angry They were like, who is that behemoth? They're arguing about it Then in the distance you just hear Mum
Starting point is 00:10:56 Mum, where's my mouth gone? Size, US women's 10 feet, full double D boobs. She's not 30. My impression of Pri is a 13-year-old. I saw her down at the pub. We want to ask on our 100,000 M, were you held back a year? Are you one of these shooters? Did you get held back a year and why?
Starting point is 00:11:26 Be honest with us. Why did you get held back? Yeah. And did you use it to your advantage? I wish I had got held back and dominant. Like I would have loved to have dominated. They should have put you up a year. Sounds like they. Should have bumped you up a few grades.
Starting point is 00:11:38 I damn you were big. Academically, she's not ready, but physically. She was ready two years ago. She's enormous. We might not get anyone. I don't know how rare this is, but if you were held back a year for any reason. Yeah, and was there benefits? Oh, $100 at M.
Starting point is 00:11:55 Bree and Clint. We were just talking before about how they've banned year 14 students from rowing in the Marty Cup competition this year. Too many big boys and girls getting in there and competing against the kids. I call BS on this. I say let them in. Sometimes people grow earlier than other kids, and it's okay.
Starting point is 00:12:13 You're speaking from a position of past hurt, okay, and that's understandable. They're not banning big kids from rowing. They're banning kids that are too old. Okay. Okay. Yeah, well, when a whole basketball court chants at you, like, off, off, big girl,
Starting point is 00:12:31 like, then, you know, that is traumatising. That was Bree. They demanded her birth certificate at mini ball. Someone's texted and said, Bree's experience was mine. I also felt like a giant, even though I'm pretty much normal height and size. My daughter was put forward, so she is super young for her year,
Starting point is 00:12:48 but she has never had people querying if she's actually years older and she doesn't think of herself as a giant. So I would recommend it. So there you go. That's the hack. You've got to put them up a year. Gotcha. See, that would be great.
Starting point is 00:13:00 And then you don't have this trauma that lasts your whole life. Giant. Georgia's here. Hi, Georgia. Hi hi georgia hi how are you good thank you may what was it for you um so i actually chose to redo year nine again really interesting how come so i was one of the kids that was like really young for my year okay and in year nine I actually moved schools and I had quite a bit of time off and things like that. And so after the mock exams, my parents said to me, oh, would you redo year nine if they let you?
Starting point is 00:13:35 And I was like, yeah, probably. I just didn't really think about it. I was like, yeah, probably. And then, yeah, my parents went to the school and said, can she redo it? The school said yes. So, yeah. my parents went to the school and said, can she redo it? The school said yes. That's smart. So you were a year older and a year more experienced than all of your peers, all of the people in your year at school.
Starting point is 00:13:52 Yeah, so I had done half of the work already pretty much. Yeah, you were a breeze through. Yeah, you would have went, Georgia, from the youngest in the grade to the oldest in the grade. Yeah, and it was great because when I got my license, I was before everyone. I could drink beer. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:14:06 Yeah, yeah, yeah. You could have bought everybody else alcohol in year 13. Not to mention dominating in every sport, Georgia. Thanks, Georgia. We actually have the person who birthed the biggest mini ball player in Australian history on the phone with us. Welcome to the show, Breeze. Mum, mumma die.
Starting point is 00:14:26 Mum? Mini ball. Yeah. Do you remember, Mum? It was a large ball. It was a watermelon. No. That's an image.
Starting point is 00:14:36 Not the birth. We're talking about the basketball competition. Do you remember, Mum, when I entered club basketball late because you wanted me to, anyway, I started playing because I was enormous. And do you remember all the parents getting together and asking for my birth certificate? Absolutely. And there was especially one guy coaching the other team.
Starting point is 00:15:00 Yeah. And he just favoured his son big time. And I just said to Brianna, just stay on him. Don't do anything the whole game. They couldn't score a point. Nobody else was scoring any points and Brianna just, he hated her. And even to this day.
Starting point is 00:15:16 She just picked him up. I nearly ate him. Put him in her pocket. Apparently, according to reports. Yeah, bit chunks out of him. Yeah, they called me. They were lucky. They were lucky to come to Brianna's waist. I was that big.
Starting point is 00:15:29 Wow. Well, girls do mature faster. Girls are taller at that age than boys. Exactly. I was fully matured and all these boys hadn't. And remember, Mum, they started chanting Beanstalk? Yeah, I wasn't very happy about that. I mean, it could have been something a little bit more, you know
Starting point is 00:15:47 The height thing you're right at that age for girls is very common To have the height and the girth I mean, I had both You're unstoppable I really was The thing was, it never bothered any of us Because, I mean, when is the grinner's? Absolutely
Starting point is 00:16:01 Did you, I'm interested to know Did you fold and produce the birth certificate or did you tell them to shove it? Well, I had to at one point because when we went away for representative stuff. Don't tell this story. I had to take it in my, you know, in my bag. Yeah, in a manila folder. Especially in Tenefield because they're all kind of even smaller than the average. It wasn't
Starting point is 00:16:26 the first time that someone asked for my personal ticket. It definitely wasn't the first time. It wasn't the last time either. Okay, so what do you feed a budding young athlete? Mum and Di, you've been there, you've done that, you've bred champions. What should they be eating at that age to, you know, get them really
Starting point is 00:16:41 peaking physically? I know exactly what you feed feeding, Clint, and I'm cooking it right now. Spaghetti. Always had spaghetti for lunch. That was match day. That was match day meal. Spaghetti.
Starting point is 00:16:54 Yeah. Love it. Okay. And really good beef, red meat. Yeah, I had a lot of beef too. From a trough, from a bucket. Oh, excuse you. Yeah, I had a lot of beef too. From a trough, eh? From a bucket. Yes, you! They used to make me climb my own beanstalk before I could get it back.
Starting point is 00:17:11 Where do you get a feed bag for a 13-year-old from? Bree and Clint. Bree and Clint. We are deep into Dish of the Nation. Bree and Clint's Dish of the Nation. You're telling me I'm so invested in this. Our quest to find the quintessential New Zealand meal, the ultimate one that we would put out to the world and go,
Starting point is 00:17:32 yeah, here in New Zealand, our national dish is... This. Tinned spaghetti on toast. We are into the quarterfinals, as you said, and should we talk about what happened last week? Yeah. At the end, middle of last week. Just before Waitangi.
Starting point is 00:17:46 Yes. The battles that went down, some of them were very, very close. So the first one was meat pie versus lolly cake. Yeah. Meat pie took down lolly cake in a big way. Quite convincing. I understand that. The Marmite and chip sandwich versus custard square was a close one. So the Prime Minister threw his weight behind Marmite and chip sandwich versus custard square was a close one.
Starting point is 00:18:06 So the Prime Minister threw his weight behind marmite and chip sandwich. He came on this show to publicly declare his support for marmite and chip sandwich. Was that enough to pull it through? It got taken down by the custard square, 47%, to the custard square's 53%. That's close. That was a very close battle. We're talking thousands of votes here, by the way. Thousands and thousands and thousands of votes.
Starting point is 00:18:29 So for it to come down to that is big. It's wild. The next battle was Sausage and Bread versus Pavlova, and you're not going to believe it, Clint. Our baby, Sausage and Bread, took it out in stunning fashion, 66% to Pavlova's 34%. Oh, that's definitive. Yep.
Starting point is 00:18:46 Yeah. I'm so proud of sausage and bread. I'm so proud of it too. Then was Kiwi Onion Dip versus Trifle, which Kiwi Onion Dip absolutely slaughtered the Trifle. I love Trifle. I don't think it's as quintessentially Kiwi as Kiwi Onion Dip. Kiwi Onion Dip has it in the name.
Starting point is 00:19:02 I think Kiwi Onion Dip versus sausage and bread might be my dream final. Oh, me too. You know? But the meat pie. I know, I know. Oh, it's hard. Anyway, Fish and Chips took out Chicken Coleslaw Bun, which we were upset about.
Starting point is 00:19:18 71 to... 29. 29. That's definitive as well. And then, oh, this was the other close battle. Closer than the other one, New Way Sausage Rolls versus Hokey Pokey Ice Cream. Sausage Rolls went down by 1%.
Starting point is 00:19:33 We're just looking at the actual data in the background. The difference was 140 votes. 139 votes. Nothing in it. Nothing in it. And Real Fruit Ice Cream went down to the hot chip buddy. Yeah. And cheese rolls went through as well.
Starting point is 00:19:49 So this is why you've got to vote. Okay? This is why you've got to vote. If you're gutted that those sausage rolls that you cut up and cook at home are out of the competition, you've got to vote. You've got to vote. Wait, is that right? What?
Starting point is 00:20:02 These are the battles today. Kiwi onion dip versus fish and chips. Kiwi onion dip, 50%. Fish and chips, 50%. See? I'm campaigning for kiwi onion dip to go through. I'd love that too. But I don't want to influence it.
Starting point is 00:20:16 I do want to know what the people want. But my preference would be kiwi onion dip. Kiwi onion dip. Fish and chips isn't New Zealand's. Like, we love it. It takes maturity to be able to admit that, guys, but we didn't invent it. Whereas Kiwi Onion Dip comes from this country.
Starting point is 00:20:32 It's in the name. Yep. Oh, wait. Bree and Clint on Instagram, if you want to vote. At Bree and Clint. The other battles, sausage and bread versus cheese rolls, hokey pokey ice cream versus custard square, and meat pie versus chip buddy. They're all
Starting point is 00:20:45 big battles. Go have your say and have a vote now. It's real easy. It's just a poll in our Instagram story. Tap, tap, tap. You can do it every day until we find the official dish of the nation. Bree and Clint from iHeartRadio. This is the latest live from LA with
Starting point is 00:21:01 Dean McCarthy. Dean, it's all about the Super Bowl and the halftime show today. Kendrick took to the field in New Orleans, and it was pretty good, I thought. Yeah, it was pretty good. It was excellent. Yeah, people around the world really enjoyed it. He had lots of dances and all this kind of thing.
Starting point is 00:21:17 Changed the lyrics to his song, They Not Like Us, which is obviously a diss track to Drake. Deliberately changed the lyrics so that he wouldn't get sued by Drake. Fair call. Good call. Interesting. Yeah, people loved it. There's one line in there particularly that he changed a word,
Starting point is 00:21:35 which I won't repeat, but it was smart to not go there, I think, on a show of 100 million people tuning in. Here's a little bit of audio from the Half Time Show. It was brutal. As a takedown, as a continuation of that beef, it was ruthless from Kendrick. And you know you're losing a rap beef when you have to take the person to court
Starting point is 00:22:06 instead of take them to task with your rhymes. Yeah, that's when it gets a bit awkward and you're like, hey, I thought this was a rat beef. And then someone's feelings get too hurt and that's to go to court. Dean, did you also see that Kendrick brought out Serena Williams at the Super Bowl halftime show famously dated Drake and is now coming out to support Kendrick on the world stage. That's wild.
Starting point is 00:22:29 Here's the thing. This reminds me of that movie 8 Mile. Remember the rap battle at the end? I feel like we've taken it to another level. Yeah. We've taken it to a whole other level. Yeah. I mean, bring it out the actual fact.
Starting point is 00:22:41 It's quite like when you actually put it into the context of real life, it's actually so ridiculous. Kendrick's going to bring out Drake's mum next. Yeah, it's like... And she's going to be like, they're not like us! They're not like us! Your mum loves me more than you! What do you say to that?
Starting point is 00:22:55 Like, you know. Hey, I want to talk about someone that's there, though. I want to talk about Taylor Swift really quickly. She got booed when the camera cut to her. We knew the camera would go to her. It does. She got booed when the camera cut to her. We knew the camera would go to her. It does. She got booed. I think that's just like some mean-spirited sports people, I guess.
Starting point is 00:23:10 But let's not forget, she had the most successful tour in the history. She got mega booed and Trump got cheered. Isn't that interesting? Yeah, it shows probably the type of demographic or audience. The fan base. Yeah, the fan base. But let's be real, Taylor Swift making NFL relevant for a whole new audience over the last however many years.
Starting point is 00:23:34 So you can't hate on her too much. Yeah, she's done a good job. I think that stuff's peaked, but yeah, I think she did a good job over that time. But she's brought in a lot of people for sure, yeah. That's the latest with Dean McCarthy. He's our Hollywood correspondent. Maths, married at first sight, it sucked us back in. a lot of people for sure, yeah. That's the latest with Dean McCarthy. He's our Hollywood correspondent. Bree and Clint. Maths.
Starting point is 00:23:47 Married at first sight. It sucked us back in. I'm so in. Right back in. I am so in. And you know what I think it is? They give you someone to hate in the first couple of episodes. It's like the storyline of Wicked. People bond around a common enemy.
Starting point is 00:24:02 Exactly right. A common villain. And that common villain is Tim The guy who said looks don't matter I just want looks fade I'm the nice guy I'm the nice guy And that's why I've never found someone
Starting point is 00:24:15 Because I'm just too nice to people And his bride Katie turns up And he goes she's not petite and blonde I don't have a type I want to leave She's not petite and blonde. I don't have a type, but... I want to leave. She's not petite and blonde. That's not what I asked. Totally not what I wanted.
Starting point is 00:24:30 Not good. I normally go just short, petite, blonde or brunette. Like, Katie's, yeah, nothing what normally I'd go for. I'm a bit embarrassed, like, that I've come here now. He's horrible. He's horrible. He is horrible. I'm sorry, and I don't condone being nasty to people, but he is. I think we should say his behaviour is horrible.
Starting point is 00:24:52 His behaviour is horrible. Yeah. Like, disgusting behaviour. He just doesn't give her a chance, and she tries so hard. It's the first five minutes. He sees her and then writes her off, and that's it. Anyway, he is the common enemy. He's the villain of this season
Starting point is 00:25:08 so far. But he's in the news at the moment because there's groups on Facebook who have talked about him and now people are starting to realise that he uses old photos of
Starting point is 00:25:24 himself on dating apps. He's been cat photos of himself on dating apps. Oh. He's been catfishing people on dating apps. Really? So that is the latest story about him where people are like, my friend went on a date with him in Melbourne last year. Yeah. And he turned up and looked nothing like his picture.
Starting point is 00:25:42 I haven't seen these pictures yet. I obviously know what Tim looks like now. We're going to show Clint the these pictures yet. I obviously know what Tim looks like now. We're going to show Clint the picture. So you know what Tim looks like now. No, that's, yeah, this one here. It's a photo from 10 years ago. That is a dramatically
Starting point is 00:26:00 different looking man is what I will say about that. It doesn't even. His hair colour's different. His beard's not grey. The photos are of a younger version of him. Yeah, they are. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:14 It's him. It's him. Obviously it's him, but yeah. But if you were, Dave, if you swiped on that and were talking to that person, the picture on the right, and you turned up, you'd almost go, wait, are you? Unless you saw the tattoos, I don't know that I would recognise that person at the bar. You know, if you're waiting for them and they're like, hey, sorry, I'm waiting for Tim. You'd be very confused. It's just rich, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:26:37 After the way he has spoken about his bride on maths, that pictures like that should surface. I would just, you know what I always think about, because I mean I've never been catfished by someone. Yeah. But I always think about the person that is catfishing. Yes. And we're talking about people like this guy, like Tim, and then he turns up for the dates, right?
Starting point is 00:26:59 Yeah. It's going to come out. Obviously, because he's there. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I always think, aren't you embarrassed? Like I'd be so embarrassed to be like, or does he actually think he still looks like that? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:27:12 Look, I'm not on the apps, so I don't know how hard it is to get matches and things like that. And I imagine you need some really good pictures to make your account work. But even if you used pictures from 10 years ago, before you went and met the person, I would feel the need to go, hey, by the way, because you get the match and then you can talk and then you go, hey, by the way. And if they get to know you.
Starting point is 00:27:32 Yeah, those pictures were, I've got to be honest with you, those pictures were a bit old. Here's a picture of me now. I wouldn't turn up. So you know what to look for. I wouldn't turn up. I'd be like, why? Why are you doing?
Starting point is 00:27:41 I feel like, you know, why don't you just be honest up front? Yeah. I'd be out. Imagine. If I went on the dating apps now. The night before and he goes, oh, hey, just to let you know, those pictures are a bit old. If I went on the dating apps now,
Starting point is 00:27:57 I'd have to use pictures from 10 years ago because the only pictures I've got from the last 10 years are of me and my wife and kids. Well, at least you're honest. You'd be like, you know. Hey, by the way, I'm married. Yeah, this is the whole picture. I've got a family. The whole picture. We want to ask you this afternoon, did
Starting point is 00:28:14 the person who showed up to the date not match the pictures on their dating profile? Maybe they were old pictures. Maybe they were someone else's pictures. Maybe they were literally pictures. Maybe they were someone else's pictures. Maybe they were literally pictures of someone else. Maybe you met up with someone who was using pictures of a person you knew
Starting point is 00:28:32 and you wanted to see who it was. Maybe they were photoshopped. I don't know. 0800 dials at MOTX 9696. We can keep you anonymous. It's fine. It's easy. And we'll keep the person you're talking about anonymous too.
Starting point is 00:28:42 But we would like to know. Who catfished you. Yeah, who cat the person you're talking about anonymous too. But we would like to know. Who catfished you? Yeah, who catfished you? Bree and Clint. Tim from Maths has been called out on a forum actually where people talk about their dating stories. And someone was like, I went on a date with that guy last year and he looked nothing like the photos he was using.
Starting point is 00:29:06 People are calling him out particularly because he's the one who said that he is not interested in his bride because she's not blonde and petite. Short, blonde and petite. She's lovely, Clint. She's lovely but normally, you know, I go for short,
Starting point is 00:29:21 blonde, petite girls. Can you tell that we're addicted to Married at First Sight Australia? And we're fuming about Tim. We want to know, when did the person you matched on the apps with not match the pictures? The first person wants to be anonymous. Hi, anonymous. Hi, anonymous.
Starting point is 00:29:35 Oh, my God. Your friend had Tim in their DMs. What? Oh, yeah. So he slid into her DMs like 10 times over the past year and her response when she heard it
Starting point is 00:29:49 online was like I am not petite or blonde So this is even recently he has slid back in the DMs
Starting point is 00:29:58 I don't know if it was like prior to the show but yeah like recently recently She would have had to have seen the show to be able to reply to that,
Starting point is 00:30:06 so it must have been semi-recently, right? Yeah, definitely. She said that when she watched the show. Oh, okay. I wonder what your friend thought when she probably was watching maths and she was like, wait a second, I know that guy who kind of looks like the guy that's been sliding into my DMs but 10 years older. Yeah, probably that she dodged a bullet.
Starting point is 00:30:28 Wow. Yeah, 100% she did. Okay, thanks for the gossanonymous. We appreciate it. There's so many texts coming in about this. Someone said a guy had pictures of his twin brother on his profile. When I tell you it didn't even look like they were remotely distant third cousins. What's worse is the guy was a nice-looking, friendly dude,
Starting point is 00:30:47 but I red-flagged and left. Oh, why would he do that, I wonder? That's interesting. Someone else, I love this text. They said, I went on a Tinder date and I had to excuse myself and go to the bathroom to check the profile because I thought the person in front of me was a different person. So I thought I was meeting.
Starting point is 00:31:05 Turns out the pictures were very old, and the second one she had a lovely picture of her and her son. Oh, yeah. Who looked about six or seven in the pictures that she was using. On the date, I find out that her son is now 21. Jeez, you even got catfished by the son. It's a couple of years difference. Raquel's called up.
Starting point is 00:31:27 She's actually got a hack for avoiding this. Don't you, Raquel? I do. What do you do? If it's a vibe to start off with and there's not a lot of pictures to go off, I ask them for their Snapchat. Oh, so you move the conversation out of the dating app
Starting point is 00:31:46 and onto Snapchat as soon as you feel like it's going well. Yeah, and then I send them a picture in the convo so they have to send me one back. Yeah. Yeah, see, that's smart because when I was on the dating apps back in the day, I used to ask if it was a vibe. I used to be like, hey, what's your Instagram? But they could have just made a fake Instagram,
Starting point is 00:32:06 whereas Snapchat, they need to send a live photo. It's much harder to fake, right? Yeah, and I do do a wee Instagram stalk as well, but yeah, it's not always legit. No, it's not foolproof. I've definitely been catfished as well and found out through Snapchat. So it is a good way. There you go.
Starting point is 00:32:23 Okay, red flag if they start sending you their Bitmoji instead of a selfie, eh? Yeah. It's usually a good sign. You're like, are you actually as good looking as your Bitmoji or did you make your Bitmoji hotter than you actually are? Thanks, Raquel. Good luck out there. Do you reckon your Bitmoji's hotter than you in real life?
Starting point is 00:32:41 Do you want to say it? You can decide. Yeah, I'll decide. We'll bring on Anonymous to tell us about their Tinder ghosting. Hi, Anonymous. Hi, Anonymous. Hi. Tell us, Anonymous, you got ghosted or you ghosted someone?
Starting point is 00:32:54 I did the ghosting. What did you do? I was talking to this guy for a couple months on Tinder and I just thought his pictures were too attractive to be real, so I just chopped off the face of the earth. Right. Okay. So you were like, there's no way this guy can be real.
Starting point is 00:33:10 He's too good looking in the pictures. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. Far thought a few months later, my flatmate had a leaving drink and I saw this really attractive guy in my house. And my flatmate told me, oh yeah, that's the guy that you ghosted on Tinder. And he was that hot. It was real. Yeah. Imagine.
Starting point is 00:33:30 Wow. Did you end up talking to him or you just left it? Four years later, we are still together. No way, Anonymous! What a result. Oh, good for you, babe. You know what that is evidence of? Treat them mean, keep them keen. Can you believe?
Starting point is 00:33:45 Anonymous, you're dating someone so attractive that people think they're fake. They're a catfish. Yeah. Not really. It all worked out in the end. Great story, Anonymous. Okay, are you ready to rate my bitmoji?
Starting point is 00:33:57 Yeah, if you want to rate my bitmoji. So you're going to tell me whether this actually looks like me or not and I'll do the same for you. Okay, deal. Are Bree and I running honest bitmojis. Three, two, one. That looks nothing like you. Show me up close.
Starting point is 00:34:15 Show me up close. Why do you look Spanish? Oh, yeah, I couldn't get the eyes right. That looks, I reckon, out of one to ten, a ten being that looks exactly like you, it's a three. Really? I could not even tell. Who's hotter though, me or my bitmoji?
Starting point is 00:34:36 Oh, the bitmoji, I'd say. You would say that. Do you want to see mine? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I've just got this one. Nose ring, choker chain, side part, bitmoji. I can't even see it. That's just me there down in the emojis.
Starting point is 00:34:53 Nah, it doesn't look like you at all. Oh, you're just saying that because I said yours didn't look like me. Yeah, we're never going to get another miss answer now, are we? It looks exactly like me. It does not. Yeah, I'm hotter. You're right. Bree and Clint.
Starting point is 00:35:07 Bree and Clint. After getting told my bitmoji looks too hot and too Spanish. I didn't say too hot. I just said it doesn't look like you. You said it was hotter than me. If your bitmoji is hotter than you are, your bitmoji's too hot. Nah, I didn't even think yours looked that hot. I just think it doesn't look like you.
Starting point is 00:35:23 God, really? She says what you think about me. I'm actually trying to make it better. You said the Bitmoji was hotter than me. Get the audio, Claudia. I did not say that. Get the audio. I did not say that.
Starting point is 00:35:36 Anyway. I just said. I don't need your approval. It doesn't look like you and it looks Spanish. I've gone onto the Snapchat app now. Because like all of us, we've agonised over getting our Bitmoji right. I reckon post. It can scan your face now. So you go update my
Starting point is 00:35:49 Bitmoji. It scans it and it updates it. It does the Bitmoji for you. Do you have old Spanish Bitmoji you? I'll see if I can find them. And you should post it on Instagram and put up a poll. Does this look like Clint? Anyway I updated my Bitmoji and the app gave me wrinkles.
Starting point is 00:36:07 Do Bitmojis have wrinkles now? Yeah, yeah, I've got wrinkles. You told me to do it and I was like, oh, I'm too worried. I'd rather not. Yeah, Bree's like, not today. I'd rather not take that knock to my confidence. We're playing How Many for 50 KFC Chicken Dollars next. To win this week, or at least to play, all you have to own is undies.
Starting point is 00:36:27 Brie and Clint. We are currently debating whether Brie said that my Bitmoji was hotter than me or not. She maintains that you didn't say that. I can't remember saying it. You said it. No, you said I did not say that. Yeah, I can't remember saying that.
Starting point is 00:36:42 I took it personally. So much so that I've updated my Bitmoji. This is now the third time we're talking about it. Yeah, exactly right. Yeah, I can't remember saying that. I took it personally. Obviously. Yeah, I've updated my Bitmoji. This is now the third time we're talking about it. Yeah, exactly right. Yeah, exactly right. Yeah. Okay. We've gone to the panel.
Starting point is 00:36:52 Claudia has picked up some audio for us. Oh, my God. Just play the audio. I could not even tell. Who's hotter though, me or my Bitmoji? Oh, the Bitmoji, I'd say. You would say that. I didn't say, though, the bitmoji's hotter.
Starting point is 00:37:06 You asked. So technically... Claudia, is she going to jail or not? We're both right. Five years jail. Yeah, off to jail. How many? How many?
Starting point is 00:37:14 How many? How many? That's a good amount. Someone said stop using female logic on Clint. Yeah, it confuses him. Ella's here to play How Many. Hi, Ella. Hi.
Starting point is 00:37:24 Ella. Hi. Hello. Um, Bitmojis aside, how many undies do you have? That is today's topic. Yeah. For this game. Basically, you have to have the most item, which is undies, to win the game. Most undies wins.
Starting point is 00:37:41 And Annie is here to play. Is it Annie or Anne? Annie. Annie. Oh, my gosh. I need better glasses. Is it Annie or Anne? Annie. Annie. Oh my gosh, I need better glasses. Hi, Annie. Long-time listeners, Annie, will have heard Brie and I talk about our undies
Starting point is 00:37:50 multiple times on this show. Yeah, you do love an undie chat. Yeah, we've got strong undie opinions. It's something you put on your body every day. Most people. Annie. Not everyone, most people. These guys bought me two pairs of undies for my birthday.
Starting point is 00:38:03 Skims. We're not cheap. Last week. No, but I'm saying it adds to my undie total. It's relevant. Ah, I see, I see. So take that into consideration because, Annie, you get to choose who to go up against,
Starting point is 00:38:14 Bree, Clint or producer Claudia, and you want to have the most items. So you're picking, Annie, the person who you think has the most undies. Who has the most undies in their drawer, Annie, out of us three? Who is it? I'd say Bree has the most. So do you want to go head-to-head with Bree?
Starting point is 00:38:38 No, doesn't she want to pick the person she thinks has the least undies? Yeah, I was going to say, hang on. Sorry, Annie, it's been a long weekend. Annie, what's your undie bracket? Are you 10 to 20? 20 to 30? 30 to 40? 10 to 20. 10 to 20. Oh, you could have been 0 to 10, but you're 10 to 20.
Starting point is 00:38:56 Okay, pick the person you think has the least amount of undies. Me, Bree or Claudia? So me and my 11-year-old son are going with the logic that a male would have left. So I'm going with Clint. Okay.
Starting point is 00:39:11 Okay, he's smiling. I don't know what that means. But we'll go with Claudia first. Claudia? I think, as a rough estimate, I would have at least 20. So I'd put myself in 20 to 30 kind of bracket. 20 to 30, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. That's a 30. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay.
Starting point is 00:39:25 That's a miss. Brie? I want to say I have thrown out a few pairs recently. So it would have been more than this, but it's definitely at least in the 30 to 40. 30 to 40. Oh, my gosh. Is that more than one draw then?
Starting point is 00:39:42 Oh, they take up a lot of room. Are you saying I've got big tent underwear? No, but that would be a big lot of drawers. Double drawers for your drawers. So Clint. Annie. Yes. I believe I have 30 pairs of undies.
Starting point is 00:39:59 No. I know. What? Guys, I really don't have that many. I buy them in bursts of 10 when I buy my undies. What are you doing to get through that many pairs of underwear? You can't talk. Yeah, but he's buying them in bursts of tin.
Starting point is 00:40:15 I've got 40. I just haven't thrown mine out for 15 years. Annie and your 20 undies, we're going to send you some KFC anyway. Congratulations. Awesome. Thanks, Annie. What's your favourite brand of undies, by the way? Probably Bond.
Starting point is 00:40:29 You like a Bond? That's what I'm wearing too. Yeah, yeah. Are you strictly like black underwear or you're not rocking the white ones, are you, Annie? No, no. All black except for something for under light, I think. Okay.
Starting point is 00:40:44 That's me too. Smart girl. Smart girl. Bree and Clint, you're home of Bundy Chat. Bree and Clint. Something I always find interesting is how I think about certain things or how I view certain things. The person next to me might not.
Starting point is 00:41:00 And it's very, like, that's a common thing, but we don't really think about that all too much. We just think about things in our brain how we think about them or how we see them. Yeah. It was like that time, I think it was I asked you guys how you see the months of the year. Like do you see it in one straight line or do you see it in a circle
Starting point is 00:41:23 that goes horizontal? Do you see it in a straight line or do you see it in a circle that goes horizontal? Do you see it in a horizontal line? You know, how do you view it when you view all the months of the year? It's a similar question to that and I saw it on TikTok where I was like, whoa, interesting, where this girl and I think her friend are discussing and we all know Clint Roberts can't tell he's left from his right that's just standard for you I can I'd have to look at my hands make the l shapes okay don't do your hands I just looked uh we'll see there you go we'll test you later yeah but she
Starting point is 00:41:55 I think they're discussing um is left and right the same as up and down. Take a listen. I just saw a video of a woman explaining how left and right is just as clear to her as up and down. Genuinely, if I'm saying on your left, that's a guess. I'm guessing and I'm second guessing myself after and 50% of the time I'm wrong. There's literally no way that there's people out there that left and right is just as clear as up and down. Not me. I wouldn't say it's just as clear, but I'd say it's 80% there. Really? Yeah. I genuinely do not know where left and right is.
Starting point is 00:42:35 Yeah. I don't know which is my left side. I don't know which is my right side. Producers, what about for you? I think I get it wrong 100% of the time. Like, I've never got it right. Is in your head somewhere the idea of what side left is? Like, do you know, like if you lay down on a pillow,
Starting point is 00:42:49 would you know if you were lying on your left or your right? Yes. Wow. Like, immediately. Yeah. What? Ella? Yeah, I'm left-handed, so I just go, oh, your left is left.
Starting point is 00:42:58 Same. How I write. It makes so much sense. I'm like, well, the way, this sounds so weird, but for me, like, I'm like well the way this sounds so weird but for me like I'm a right hander so my right side
Starting point is 00:43:10 of my body feels dominant compared to my left side that's so interesting if I did it off because I'm right handed if I said that
Starting point is 00:43:17 that was how I was going to figure out left and right there would still be a split second where I'd have to go right the side that I write on which side is that this one
Starting point is 00:43:24 yeah I'd have to stop and think about it but that's not a brief second that's'd have to go right, the side that I write on. Which side is that? This one. Yeah, I'd have to stop and think about it. But that's not a brief second. That's like a full couple of seconds. I know. Whereas, like, if you ask me, what side do you write this one? Yeah. What side do you left this one?
Starting point is 00:43:34 And you go, what side's my left? I go, this one. One of these. Put my left hand up. You know, like, I just feel it in my body where I'm like, oh, this is the right side because it's more dominant. That's why I like when I'm driving the car and both my hands up on the steering wheel and then the GPS is like, take the next left. And I just go like this.
Starting point is 00:43:50 Put my finger and my thumb up to figure out which one is the L. Honestly, how did you get your license? No, I know. It infuriates. I've got a system that works. It infuriates my wife. Does it work? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:01 You know? Yeah, I made it here, didn't I? What if you're eating a burger While driving Um There's bigger problems Yeah I've got bigger problems Yeah
Starting point is 00:44:09 You know But like how do you tell You're left and right Um Oh no easy Because if I've got a free hand I check that one And if it's an L
Starting point is 00:44:16 That's left And if it's not an L Then that's right Yeah genius Foolproof Absolutely foolproof Oh god As clear as up and down I don't think it's as clear Foolproof. Absolutely foolproof. Oh, God. As clear as up and down?
Starting point is 00:44:28 I don't think it's as clear, but pretty clear. That's my goal for 2025. Learn left and right. It's a good goal to have. Mine's to read analogue time. Oh, nice. Yeah. Bree and Clint.
Starting point is 00:44:41 Bree and Clint. All I want for my birthday is a birthday banger. Let's do your birthday bangers for a Monday. Number one songs when you turn 16. Who we got up first? Ariana, who's going to do mum's birthday banger. Hi, Ariana. Hi, Ariana. Hi.
Starting point is 00:44:57 How old are you? I'm 14. Okay, so you're close. You need to be 16 before you can play this. So we can do your mum's. All we need is mum's birthday, Ariana. 28th of December, 1987. Right, that means your mum was 16 in 2003,
Starting point is 00:45:16 and this is her birthday banger. If you could see what I see Guys, Sebastian, Angel angels brought me here. Do you like it, Ariana? Never heard of it. Never heard of it, yeah. Fair enough, Ariana. It's so weird.
Starting point is 00:45:34 I was singing this song yesterday. Weird. At the dinner table. And then I thought about, my mind went, oh, we've played that song in Birthday Banger before. And then I thought, would we play it if it came up in Birthday Banger again now? That was yesterday.
Starting point is 00:45:48 That's so crazy. You know who does love this song? Like, loves this song? Yeah. Ross Boss. I've never seen Ross Boss love a song so much. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's into it.
Starting point is 00:46:01 Yeah. Nick's here and it's Nick's birthday today. Happy birthday, Nick. Happy birthday, Nick. Thank you. Happy Monday, yeah. He's into it. Yeah, yeah. Nick's here and it's Nick's birthday today. Happy birthday, Nick. Happy birthday, Nick. Thank you. Happy Monday, team. How's your day been so far, Nick? Oh, good.
Starting point is 00:46:12 The day at work, most enjoyable one so far. Oh, good to hear. Very good. Well, let's see if we can top it off with your birthday banger. So what year? 1917. All right. That's easy, Matt.
Starting point is 00:46:24 You were 16 in 1986. So on this day in 86, this was number one. How will I know? Just to feel it. How will I know? A rap snorter from Whitney Houston. God, I love that song from Whitney. What about you, Nick?
Starting point is 00:46:43 It certainly brings back a few memories. Yeah. It's good vibes. 1986. Okay, birthday girl, wait there. Let's go to Andrew, who's also having a birthday today. G'day, Andrew. Happy birthday, mate. Hey, man. How's it going? Yeah, good.
Starting point is 00:47:00 What have you got for your birthday so far, Andy? I got a DeWalt Impact screwdriver. I'm so happy. Oh, lucky. And have you got plenty of DeWalt batteries already, Andrew, or did they get you the one with the batteries? No, just the one in the charger, but I'm already eyeing up new ones.
Starting point is 00:47:16 Yes, Andrew. Bloody stingy you ever got you that. Could have forked out for a bit more. Oh, my God, they charge you like three times as much than anyone with the batteries. That is true. We should just be grateful for what we get. Well, that's a great present, Andrew.
Starting point is 00:47:29 We've got you for your birthday, your birthday banger. So what year? 93. All right, that means you were 16 in 2009. And on that day, this had a number one hit. Because we belong. Oh, it's Kelly Clarkson. Oh, my God, he loves it.
Starting point is 00:47:51 Yes, Andrew. Call it a DeWalt screwdriver because it's had an impact on Andy. The song is about a screwdriver. Yeah. Andy can sing it to the screwdriver. Oh, wait there. Oh, it's a it to the screwdriver. Oh, wait there. Oh, it's a ripper, Andy. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:48:08 Those are all good songs. I love them all. I don't know how I'm going to pick today. I feel like I have to vote for the Guy Sebastian song because of what happened yesterday. I feel like it was a sign. If I'm not going to listen to the signs in my life, then what am I? Do you know? I love how I was pretending to be, like, torn over what song I was going to pick. Whitney, then what am I? Do you know? I love how I was pretending to be like
Starting point is 00:48:25 torn over what song I was going to pick. Whitney, how will I know? I definitely thought you were about to say Guy Sebastian. Claudia, it's over to you, pal. You can choose from any one of those three songs. Oh no, I was really hoping you guys would come to a decision. I honestly
Starting point is 00:48:41 would be happy with any of these. But I feel like for the mystical tendency of it, we have to see it through, right? We have to do Guy Sebastian. Just to see if you'll hit play. Ariana, your mum just won birthday bagger. Congratulations.
Starting point is 00:48:59 Thank you. Let her know from us, Ariana. But I'm finally here tonight. Let her know from us, Ariana. The voice of an angel from the original Australian idol, Guy Sebastian. That's the winner of Birthday Banger from 2003. Shannon Knoll was robbed. Let it go. Robbed.
Starting point is 00:49:31 Let it go. No, I'll never let it go. You're never going to let it go? Nah. Shannon Knoll for life? Yep. Shannon, I'm a Knollsy fan. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:39 I'm a Knoller. I will die on this Knoll. Find Brie on the grassy shed in knoll. Oh, now this is a banger. Were you shocked when you found out it was a cover? I think I knew. I don't know why, but I knew from the start. This is a banger, though. This is such a good drinking song. Like everyone is belting this from the start. This is a banger, though. This is such a good drinking song.
Starting point is 00:50:06 Like everyone is belting this at the bar. Here we go, here we go, here we go. Come on. What about me? It isn't fair. I've had enough. Now I want my share. Can't you see?
Starting point is 00:50:22 I want to live? But you just take more than you give. Oh, we harmonised right there at the end. Oh, my God, you've grown a clit tickler as well. No, that was there before. She's been waiting back there. Was it? Bree and Clint. Bree and Clint's Dish of the Nation.
Starting point is 00:50:43 We are on a quest, a dedicated mission to find the official dish of Aotearoa New Zealand. We are down to eight dishes, and I think it's time we get some true influence in this poll. One of New Zealand's most influential foodies joins us on the show, Albert Cho, a.k.a. Eat Lit Food. Kia ora. G'day, mate. Hello. Now, I heard you're raging that your invention of the pie with peanut slab is not on the list. Yeah, that's like a cult classic.
Starting point is 00:51:13 It is a cult classic. You know, we did have peanut slab and pie in at the beginning, but peanut slab got kicked out in the first round, LB. Really? Yeah. Oh, well, Whitaker's didn't give any free PR after that, so I think that's why it's karma. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:28 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Whitaker's should have been in the DMs. We're down to eight. Have you had a look at the remaining eight dishes? I have. Do you have a clear winner in there? Is there something in there that you would be happy to, like, have on our flag, on our coat of arms,
Starting point is 00:51:43 available at customs as people come to New Zealand for the first time? I think the obvious answer is a meat pie, but this is also just me being completely not biased. I don't even like custard, but I think custard slices are so New Zealand.
Starting point is 00:52:00 Really? Controversial. When you go overseas and you recognise how unique slices are, like when I go to countries around Asia, I find myself craving slices. And although I don't necessarily like custard ones, I think it's so Kiwi. And whenever I have friends from overseas come to New Zealand,
Starting point is 00:52:19 I go to a New Zealand bakery, and I think you can always trust the bakery to have a custard square. We haven't talked much about custard square. It's obviously a strong performer. It's in the quarterfinals, but we've never really dug into the custard square as a potential winner, Brie. We haven't, and I think it's one of those ones, because
Starting point is 00:52:36 Albie, we've discussed things that Australia and New Zealand share, and the custard square is a big thing in Australia as well. I don't know much about the background or the history of the Custard Square, but I do know one of the biggest items that's been on the list that's had the most love throughout the earlier rounds, though. Custard Square.
Starting point is 00:52:57 So there you go. I mean, it's kind of like how a lot of the food in the list, it stems from a lot of British food as well. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And like meat pies, they're also kind of a thing in Australia now too. stems from a lot of British food as well. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And like meat pies, they're also kind of a thing in Australia now too. Yeah, but they're no good. Even the Aussies that we have spoken to
Starting point is 00:53:12 have conceded that New Zealand has the better meat pies. New Zealand do the best meat pies by a country mile. Usually we're very competitive about everything, but for some reason they're willing to concede meat pies better here in New Zealand. A part of me just thinks that I think the meat pie is too obvious of an answer. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:28 I want something to be a bit different, yeah. The darling of the competition for Bree and I, which we are... We're putting our support, Albie, behind the sausage and bread. Yeah, like a mighty king sausage roll. Yeah, yeah, like a school gala sausage sizzle on the sidelines at Saturday Sports. I didn't realise that was a super Kiwi thing. Well, they do them in Australia too.
Starting point is 00:53:51 I mean, they're pretty big at Bunnings. But if we take ownership of it here, you know, like take ownership now. The only, correct me if I'm wrong, the only truly Kiwi things left on the list are Hokey Pokey ice cream, cheese rolls and Kiwi onion dip, right? But even Hokey Pokey ice cream, I thought about it and I was like, that's like honeycomb ice cream. Honeycomb ice cream.
Starting point is 00:54:12 Overseas. Yeah. Okay. So the only things that are 100% Kiwi are the South Island cheese roll and Kiwi onion dip. You know what? You're right. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:21 If we want to bring patriotism into it. If you want to get down to the nitty gritty of it, yeah. If I choose between those two, it'll be the kiwi onion dip. Did you hear what the Prime Minister chose as his dish of the nation, Albie? What? He wanted mummite and chippy sandwich to win. Oh. Really?
Starting point is 00:54:41 Apparently. And it got some love. It did. It's gone, though. Yeah, it got knocked out. Yeah, no, that's not it. All right, can we have... This is not representing us.
Starting point is 00:54:48 Can we just, one more time, can we get it on the record, the dish that you would like to be dish of the nation? Custard slice. Custard slice. Custard slice. LB Cho, eat lit food. Thank you. We appreciate your input.
Starting point is 00:54:59 Thanks, mate. Thank you, guys. Play. ZM's Brand Clint. On Insta, Facebook, TikTok, and live weekdays from 3 on ZM. Bye. Thank you, guys.
