You tapped it, so we're playing it. It's ZM's Brie and Clint, the podcast. ZDM's Brean Clint, cheers to KFC. KFC's cult favorite hot and spicy is now available nationwide at KFC. Go! ZDM's Brie and Clint. Sala Valava, everybody, and welcome to the Bree and Clint Show with no Bree this week. She is currently sliding down the side of a mountain in the Queenstown,

Wanaka region. Cadrona? Cadrona. I think so. Yeah. One of those. One of those. She was at that Cadrona pub that's for sale. Oh, she was, eh? Yeah, yeah. God, I forget the number. If anyone knows the number, can you text it in? I heard the number that they're asking for for that pub. You know how I've made news that the pub is for sale? Oh, that's what you're saying? Yeah, yeah. That classic spates pub looking thing, it's not a spades pub, but you know,

the Cadrona Hotel. Like tens of millions. Really? Yeah. Oh, I was about to say, do you have a space pub looking thing? It's not a space pub looking thing. It's not a space pub. I'm a going to go havesies in it, but I'm not good for that. They're not using a real estate agent. They've gone, they've gone, we are famous enough. We're just going to huck the pub on Trade Me. I think that's pretty much what they've done.

I can see you being the boss of a pub. Oh my God, it's my dream. Like in the future. It's my dream. What do you want? Yeah. That'll be you. I'm watching the warians. I just don't have tens of millions of dollars.

That's my problem with most of things that I want to do. I just don't have tens of millions of dollars. Do you think you want a boat? No. No. No, I figured out very early that I'm not a boat guy, which will save me a lot of money when I enter middle age. Yeah, that's the thing.

You always find a friend who has a boat. No, I don't like being on boats. Oh, just period. They've got your sea legs. Yeah, yeah. Like, we've got a boys trip coming up at the end of this year, and I'm already lobbying the group that we don't go fishing because there's a couple of keen fishermen in there.

I'm like, I will pay you guys to stay on land. Either that or I'll stay back and make dinner for everyone. That's nice. Put your apron on. We've got a fun show on the way. Secret sound is back. I still haven't even heard the sound. So I'm going to blind react to the sound at 20 past 3. If you haven't heard the sound yet either, I'm going to play it like 10, 15 times so we can all get our ears around it for day one. We need to do that. And you can actually submit a guess via the talkback function on the Iheart radio app. If you are, obviously, you won't win the 50 grand for guessing it on there. But if you're the first person to submit the correct guess, you'll win a thousand dollars cash. which is a cool way of doing it. You've got to search up the Z-M page inside the IHartRadio app,

tap the little microphone and send us a message. First though, into Trady versus Lady. First round of the week. The Trades are at 60. The ladies are at 66. All the sixers. If you want to play and represent your side, 0800 dial ZM right now,

only the lady and a trady who can also be a lady. I know, very progressive, eh? It's Trady versus Lady Three, two, one, let's go. Trady versus Lady time already, I know. Scores for the year so far. Trady's on 60, ladies on 66.

I don't think the ladies have been more than 10 in front, but I don't think they've been less than three in front. It's been a very solid year from our ladies. But there's still time for it to change. Our lady is calling from Christchurch. She's 26, and she's back for redemption. Welcome to the show, Shantel. Hi.

Hi, Shantel. Redemption from how long ago, when did you last play? I really, like, maybe last year or even a year before that. I lost on, like, how many bones the sharks have a question. Oh, what a rough question. Yeah. Okay, well, no shark questions today, I can guarantee you that. You need to beat our Trady, who's also from Christchurch.

He's 24, but he's from YMETI originally. Welcome to the show. Shannon. How you going? Going well, Shannon. How are you? Yeah, not bad. I'm ready to win.

Are you a tradie? Oh, good attitude. Are you a tradie versus lady newbie? You've never played before? You never played before? Yeah, first time calling too. Good. First time.

Sorry, what was that? First time calling. Close enough. I don't know if he was actually soliciting for that. But you get it either way. It's a Brian Clinton tradition. Okay. Let's do this thing. Shannon, your buzzer is Trady.

Shantel, your buzzer is lady. First to three correct answers will take home $50 cash from KFC. Good luck. First question. Which city was announced today as hosts for the 2026? Shannon. Christchurch. Super rugby, super round. That's right. It's coming to both of you in Christchurch. Very cool.

Question number two, one point tradies. The 20 year anniversary of Miley Cyrus's altar. ego is rapidly approaching. What was the name of that character, Chantel? Hannah Montana's correct. One apiece. Question number three. Tell me who sings this song.

Shannon, did you buzz? I did. Yeah, you did. Yep. What is it? Pit bull. Pit bull. 2-1 tradies.

Question number four. What is the first name of the current Prime Minister of Australia? Is it Adrian, Anthony, or Ellen? Lady. Chantal? Is it Anthony? It is Anthony. Anthony Albanese.

Caught in an awkward hongy-not-hongy situation with our Prime Minister today. He went in for a hongy. Chris Luxon went in for a hug. Oh, God, it's like butt-puckeringly awkward to watch that video. I recommend it. Two apiece. We're two apiece. Question number five, this could decide the whole thing.

What sport is played in the WN. B. Lady. Shantel for the win. Basketball. Basketball. She's a lady. Shannon, I can hear the frustration in your voice.

I understand you may have said it first in your ears, but with the delay that comes through, the first name that was broadcast was Shantel. Correct. Claudia, you can corroborate that? Yeah, I can concur. It's a fair and square victory, but you know what they say? You've got to lose one to win one just like Shantel did. Congratulations.

Hell yeah, good game. 50 bucks. For the church, Christchurch. Well, because Christchurch is game to win either way. Or why maddie, I guess, Shannon? Yeah, almost. Yeah. There you go. Ladies win. 67 ladies, 60 tradies.

ZDM's Bree and Clint Podcast. Producer Ella bought a clip to the show today. A trend that's going around online, which is unspoken rules within a relationship. Yes, exactly. This one specifically was unspoken rules in our marriage. But I think the trend is unspoken. not, whether that's the friendship. Friendship.

What else is there? Workplace. Any relationship, right? Yeah. This is the concept. See if you can get her. She's allergic to seafood and shellfish. I just don't eat seafood anymore, ever.

Really? What was the last time you seen me eat seafood? I just thought you didn't like it. No, I love seafood. Unspoken rules in our marriage. You have dyslexia. And so when a phrase or something pops up on the screen, I read it out loud just in case like you missed it.

That's really sweet. They're just kind things that you can do. But I guess you do them and you don't talk about them. That's what makes them unspoken. Exactly. So I thought we could put this trend to our show and see if there's any maybe kind stuff that we do unspoken of. We had the unspoken shellfish rule when producer Ben worked here. Really?

Because he was violently allergic to them like anaphylactic shock. Yeah, yeah. If he kissed someone who had been eating prawns, hospital. How often are you guys kissing? No, so unspoken rule we all stopped kissing Ben. Oh, that's a shame, that's a shame. Okay, what could be some unspoken rules for our show? Well,

we'll start with Claudia. Obviously, this is a big one. We know not to touch her food. Do not look at it. I thought that was a bad day for Claudia, but yeah. It was. It was after a series of things and then you just came and swooped in and grabbed my food and without asking and I got very upset.

You was going to see my food. It was really angry. I didn't play it cool. Do not look at it. Also, we all know about Claudia that she's single. So we always bring it up. It's an unspoken rule about Claudia. We always bring it up.

We just talk about it as often as possible. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We definitely do. Something about you, Clint, unspoken rule, is that whenever you walk in the room, we have to stand. And I think... We do.

I think... We do it and you like it, so we keep doing it. Well, it's not that I like it, I require it. Yeah. Yeah. There's another one about Clint. I actually don't. care. I just, if you don't do it, I will care. The whip comes out. Yeah, stern word.

With Clint, if he's wearing a hat that day, no one else can, because you don't like to match people, so we don't wear hats when you're wearing a hat. I see what's going on here. Yeah, yep, that's true too. That's why I have the head on right now. I wanted to wear one today, but you wore one, so I decided not to. Yeah. Another one, I've got for you, weirdly, Clint. Um, is that every morning we have to individually message you good morning. Because you like it, and it sets your day up well. Yeah. That's producing.

101. Again, I don't like it. I need it. Yeah, you do. It was in my contract. Got me more, I got more. My favorite one is I'm not allowed to look him in the eye unless the cameras are rolling. Like if it's full content, all good.

Yeah. But if it's just like hanging out in the office, no, it's not good. No, no. That's what sets him off. And we actually have to pat him on the back after a funny joke. So we're allowed to look you in the eye then. Yeah. Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm. This is all true And not news to me at all Yeah The last unspoken rule of the show we have Oh God I was hoping there was more Whenever you get a haircut We have to wolf whistle

When you walk in the room Daddy You look good Looking good Wait you mean you weren't doing that Because you wanted to No that's a sense of responsibility It's Judy

It wasn't a good haircut Yeah right Love you Well unspoken rules They've been spoken about now So I guess they're ruined That is Franklin This is the tea

And Brooks here with the tea today Cassie Henderson is all over the news At the moment with her appearance on The Voice This is very exciting because Kiwis love to see Another Kiwi on the tally, don't we? Yeah And she appeared surprising On the first episode of season 14

Of The Voice Australia And she annihilated it She performed Chaparone Good luck babe Yes Boys and bars Shoot and not a show I try and start the feeling

Great choice of song to do Oh yeah for her especially as well And you can hear I think there's another judge go around Casey Henderson gets all four judges To turn for her in the voice Wow You're right It's a very Kiwi's doing well on the world stage

type situation And I wonder if she does well Goes all the way Who knows if the Aussies will start claiming her Oh no you're right We need to get on board right now start a campaign. Cassie is ours. She always has been. Yeah, we need her wearing like a black ferns jersey.

Yeah. She does state, like in her initial statement, I'm from Christchurch, New Zealand, so proof is there. And Australians are like, that's in Tasmania, isn't it? Yeah, yeah, that's just around the corner from me. Also, not the first time Cassie's been on a singing show, do you remember back in 2014, she was on X Factor. Yes. She's 14-year-old Cassie Henderson. Yeah. Very, very cute. So all four judges, very impressed by Cassie, she then got to pick which one she wanted to go with

either Richard Marks, Mel Cey, Ronan Keating or Kate Miller Who would you choose? I would go, you've got to go to Spice Girl. Oh yeah, okay, I would have gone Ronan but... Yeah, yeah, yeah. Cassie went for Spice Girl, she went for Malsy Spottie Spice. Very cool. So now we get to see her mentor Cassie Henderson

for the next stage of the Voice Australia. I hope she crushes it. I hope someone in New Zealand, like one of the TV networks picks it up and shows it because at the moment you can't watch it here in New Zealand, so we're going to have to watch the whole thing through Cassie's Instagram account. Yeah, there's her clip on YouTube, but you don't get the behind-the-scenes story. You don't get the tear-jurker why she's there and all that stuff that you get on telly.

I need someone to teach me how to install a VPL so I can watch it. Is that like a VPN? Huh? Is that like a VPN? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. What did I say?

VPL. Oh, what's that? No idea. I've heard of them. That's a good amount. First, though, how many? It's your weekly chance to score three KFC chicken dollars, and Xavier is going to give it a go this afternoon.

Kura, Xavier. Hello. Do you have you heard this game before? Do you know how it works? I've got a few idea how it works, yeah. It's pretty easy. You just got to have the most of the thing, and you get to choose who you go up against.

You don't have to have more than all of us, just one of us. So, Xavier, the thing we're talking about today is what, Ella? How many times have you had COVID? Yeah, because I don't have it, but I have been sick the last couple of weeks. How do you know you don't have it? Did you test? Yeah. Did you?

No. No. I didn't feel like I got delirious last time. Where would you even find a test now? Yeah, they're very expensive. I went to the chemist for a test last. I felt sick and they went, oh. What?

Xavier, let's start with have you had COVID. Yes, I've had COVID. Yes, you have had COVID. Not recently. I hope. Not recently, no. Xavier, how many times have you had COVID? Four.

Four! Whoa! Okay? That's a lot! That reaction might give you the information you need. But you need to choose. Who do you think you've had COVID more than? Is it me?

Is it producer Claudia or is it producer Ella? Claudia. You think you've had it more than Claudia? Oof. Okay. Clint, how many times have you in COVID? Xavier. I can confirm if you had chosen me.

You would have won because I have had COVID once. Yeah, there was a streak. You were, you were floating. I didn't get it until, I didn't get until 2023. Yeah, all right. Embarrassingly late. Yeah, I only got it because everyone else is getting it. Ella, how many times have you had COVID?

You, Xavier, would have also won with me. I think I've had it only once. But she doesn't test, so. Possibly. Don't you dare start that rumor. Well, we'll take her word for it. Claudia? Just Claudia.

All down to me then, hey. Xavier, I will tell you that out of everyone on the team, I have had it the most. I know that much for sure. Whether I've had it four or more times, we will find out. I can tell you that I have had COVID three times. Oh! Well done. Xavier, you and your COVID, COVID, COVID.

COVID susceptibility? I don't know. You've just won yourself 50 KFC chicken dollars. Well done. Thank you. It all paid off, eh? Yeah.

All that pain and snot. Something about hot and spicy and the spicy coffin there somewhere. I'm not sure what it is. Hot and spicy cough. Thanks, Xavier. We appreciate you. Welcome.

Thank you. Sweeties. I'd love to know if anyone listening can beat four, by the way. How many times have you had COVID? 9-6-96. Someone said on the text machine. Six times. I think Jazz Thornton.

Oh, yes, really? Has had it something like crazy like seven. Yeah. Seven or eight. That's ridiculous. Are you licking the floor? Yeah, yeah. She goes through a lot of airports and she does that thing.

You know, the escalators, she puts her tongue on the handrail and just lets it go around and around. That thing is so gross. Yuck. Ew. Z.m's Bree and Clint podcast. No, Bree this week. She's away back on Monday. I think we found our COVID winner, or loser, I guess.

Someone's texting and said I had COVID-9. including on my birthday and on my big trip to Canada. That's devastating. There's got to be something in your DNA by that stage, eh, where you just like... You just get it without even, like, contracting it, it just forms. Someone three towns away gets it. And you're like, uh-oh. I got it.

That's a lot. My bubble. Pop. Hey, random one for you this afternoon. We want to know how you knocked yourself out. There's a NASCAR driver called Connor Zilch. I think is how you say it. He has turned a victory into a loss instantly

when he climbed up onto the roof of his car to celebrate winning a NASCAR race over the weekend, and he slipped off. Here's the commentary. Friends, let's go down to Mobile One Victory Lane, Dylan. Oh, he went down on the cage stand. Oh, my gosh, he fell. He fell hard.

He hit the ground, no hands to break his fall. He knocked himself out, he broke his collarbone in the fall. He, like, he slipped off the roof, and his feet went into the open window of the car, which did the thing that flips him upside down and then gadoof. He's only 19. He got taken on one of those backboard things to the hospital

because they were really worried about him, but he's posted on X that he's okay, his collarbone is broken, and the scans show no head injury. So, few. The ironic bit is he's had a helmet on all day, and the minute he takes his helmet off, That's such a good point.

He knocks himself out. He's doing the most dangerous sport, right? Yeah. Going very fast in the car. Yeah, and you knock yourself out celebrating the wind. Getting out of the car. That sucks. So we want to know how did you knock yourself out this afternoon?

Me, I once knocked myself out with the door of a fridge. I opened the fridge. I don't know why. I don't know if it was like a left-handed setup or what, but I opened the fridge with the wrong hand and I opened it directly into my head. Hit my temple. I only went down for a second, but I went, Damn.

Were you four? Was this like older Clint? I was that 18? Oh no. The noise too. So can you beat that? Does fainting count? What caused it?

Well, I've got a lot. Being vegan. No. Existing. Iron deficiency. Maybe. I was doing a handstand and just came down and hurt my funny bone, fainted. Nah, it doesn't count.

Did you knock yourself out when you walked into that pole, Clint? No. Wow, that's good. No, I maintained consciousness. I was concussed but not knocked out. That's good from you. So, have you got one for us? And can you laugh about it now?

The ZDM Podcast Network. Mario has called up. Hey, Mario. How'd you knock yourself out, Mario? I used to have a pet cow. Well, he wasn't really a cow. He was a really big steer. Yeah.

And I could never sort of sell him because he was my pet. And he just got bigger and bigger. I used to ride him around the paddock. And he was, yes, and he'd just sit on him and put a fun on him. And one day I leapt onto his back, and as I leapt up, he must have been swatting a fly or something with his head. Yeah. And he just smacked me straight in the side of the head with the, where the horns would be,

but he didn't have horns on me too. And knocked me out, I clean out, and I woke up underneath him, and he was sniffing and licking my face. Oh, my God. Do you sell them after that? No, I kept him. I kept him for a long time, but then I sort of realized I had to get rid of him eventually. But my dad sent him to a farm

Further away So I don't think he was killed or anything I think he was sent away So don't ask too many questions about it Mario It's better to not know Yeah Hey great story

We appreciate it Thank you Bruce is here Good day Bruce Thank you guys again Good How'd you knock yourself out Bruce Oh well

I'm a pretty good Basically I have a ship share By trade And basically a long board On the sheep On the sheep Shearing away At my head to one side

She came out of one of their catching pants throughout the field. I felt the board and came screaming down, hit me on the side of the head, and I was out cold. Oh, brutal. Was there a whole sharing gang in there? Hopefully someone saw and at least turned the clippers off. Yeah, no, no, no, no. And the crew, I don't remember much.

They apparently turned the clippers off. And you woke up to all these ugly shirers looking at me, what is a brilliant. While you're unconscious, they put you in a compromising position behind a sheep and then woke you up. And they're like, Bruce, what are you doing? They'll grow gloves and all, you know. Thanks, Bruce.

It's all blokes here who have knocked themselves out. Shane's on the phone, hey Shane? Yep, yeah. What'd you do? How'd you knock yourself out? Oh, so me and with Dan, we're driving a cord bike. I was on the back, and we're looking down at a paddock, looking at the ocean and such and checking out of the view.

And we fell into this hole with the south, which was sort of like, I guess, trough or something called. Yeah. And he went flying forward, and then I went flying forward, and knocked my head. He knocked out on his arms. You knocked yourself out on your dad's butt. Yeah. God, how hard is your old man's butt?

Oh, it's pretty hard. He's a sort of old man. Yeah, wow. Those quad bike things are actually deadly, aren't they? So you probably came off lucky to just get a bit of a concussion, right? Oh, yeah, it was in a few rolls. Did you have a helmet on? No, not that then.

No, we didn't. You wear a helmet now, do you, Shane? Yeah, yeah, these those where you use side the sides We're not allowed to use those anymore Yeah, right There you go Another, these are all on the farm too, by the way All of these stories have been blokes

On the farm knocking themselves out Hopefully Osh is not listening to the show this afternoon Someone said when I was 17 I lent in for a first kiss With my crush at the time I tripped, fell onto a rock And knocked myself out Wow, I hope you got the kiss first

Someone said I caoed myself playing laser tag I was trying to be real agile and a larger guy came around the corner. I bounced off him and hit my head on the side of the wall right on the corner. I've got a permanent dent above my ear. In my first year of teaching,

I tripped on a Cinderella dress-up shoe and fell face first. I hit my head on the bar of a stool and knocked myself out in front of my class of five and six-year-olds. They would have thought you were dead. Those kids wouldn't understand being unconscious or being knocked out. They would have either thought you were dead or there was some kind of Cinderella-based snow-white fairy tale crossover

and you'd been put to sleep in some kind of magical spell situation. You know that story that kids always have, like if the teacher's five minutes late, you're allowed to go home? Yeah. If the teacher's knocked out for more than five minutes, do you get to go home? If the teacher's dead, does that mean that you can go on the playground? Free day. Yeah, yeah. I don't know.

If you're a teacher, let us know what the rules are. Yeah, another text. Notice how it's all guys calling in for this one. No wonder us women live longer. You know what? It's segments like this that make me realize that. And I say that as the man who knocked himself out on a fridge door. It's ZM's Bree and Clint Podcast.

Please welcome to the show. Host of the Mad Monday podcast with the ACC, an absolute warrior's diehard tragic. It's Dai Hinwood. Kiyah, bro. Oh, God, Clint. Lovely to hear your beautiful voice, mate. Lovely to hear your voice, too.

Are you doing okay after the Weekends Warriors game? Just kind of what it is. Well, look, to be honest, I'm doing better than I was after the Dolphins game where we fell apart in the last tackle. I was sort of expecting a little bit of a loss here because the Bulldogs were such a good team. But I always go in with that optimism. And, yeah, it was a real bummer because we sort of started a little bit of a slide-down.

the table. Oh, talk about bummer. Are you aware of the deal that Brie and I did with our boss here at ZDM? Has that crossed your feet at all? Oh, I love a good deal. You're going to have to remind me. We, on the back of, what was the game where Leca Halasima scored the last minute try and everyone was, Newcastle.

Newcastle, and I think that was the last Warriors win. We made a deal. We were high on the hog after that. And we said to our boss, Ross boss, we said, look, we've got to get on board with this. We've got to capitalize on the mood of the nation. and if we can get 50,000 likes on an Instagram post, you shout us and some listeners to the NRL grand final. And he agreed, and we got the likes,

and now it looks like we might be going to the grand final, but the Warriors might not be there when we get there, die. Look, listen, look, don't feel bad for this deal. I bought tickets to the grand final after our first win of the season. So you at least waited until we're in the top four, okay? So you've got a bit of a bit of reasonable idea to do it. I reckon you've got to go either way. I pretty much go to the grand final.

I've gone for the last three years in the row. I often go with my family. We love making a day of it. And look, we're warrior supporters. We want the WAS to be there. But at the moment, we could finish as high as third or as low as 11th, right? Okay. So anything could happen here.

If we finish third, there's a high chance we could actually sneak into that grand final. However, if we're not in the grand final, everyone loves a Warriors fan, right? I go to the Warriors to the Grand Final. We're all in our Warriors kit. It's everyone's second team. They treat you like royalty. You're out walking around the concourse. I've got people are buying your drinks.

They're looking after you. You've got some weird 80s rock band playing like Choir Boys playing Runs to Paradise. or Jimmy Barnes is amazing. Hunters and collectors. Yeah, yeah. I get it. I get it. Okay, so you're saying if we do go and say it's worst-case scenario,

Panthers versus the storm, which nobody wants to see, you reckon Bree and I still rock Warriors kit to the grand final? Oh, definitely. Because people love warriors, right? And if we're not in the game, we don't have a rival. So it's just, it's basically every key where you move to Australia throwing mana waves at you for the best part of it. three hours.

Do I hear what help? There's no way to lose, mate. I'm just worried. I've got a real vine breeze a Broncos supporter. She is, but because she lives here now, she's got an adopted team. So she's got a foot in each camp.

So if the Broncos aren't involved, she's hard out warriors. Yeah, I've asked her this. I've said to her, if it was Broncos Warriors, who are you going for? And I think if we were going to Suncorp, she would have to go Broncos. but I think on neutral ground like Sydney

she might lean warriors she should if ZDM's paying for a ticket to be there she's got to go Warriors right yeah definitely and trust me the Broncos will be in the nail salon waiting for their trip to Bali they're not going to be they're not going to be in the grand final mate

so look I'm I'm still very quietly confident that the Warriors will be there however if they're not you've got to go it is an awesome experience there's more firewood then you can chuck a stick at. It's just epic being in a full 80, $85,000 stadium.

Because we don't have them over here. No. It's such a vibe. How many grand finals have you been to, Di? I reckon 10. And how many times have you seen the Warriors in the grand final? Hey, it's been a good chat, mate. So I've been the 2011 grand final.

we had an absolute ball going over that one, even though it very quickly didn't go our way against Manly. We had an absolute ball. We had Peter Ehrlich and Brookhoud Smith going AWOL. We had everything going on. It was amazing. All right. Well, it has been motivational and a bit of a reality check as well.

So we appreciate it, Do I. Up the Waz. Up the Wars. And either way, I'm going to see you there for a stadium hot dog. Oh, we're coming. Don't you worry about that. Breyer and I are not passing up a free trip. trip to Sydney. Don't worry. We've already

selected our winner, so we'll be there. Oh, I love it. That's King of the Waz himself, Dai Henwood. I wondered if we could talk to people this afternoon about going all the way somewhere for the thing and then the thing doesn't happen. Like you go to the grand final

and then your team is not there. Or you go to Bali for a friend's wedding and they don't end up getting married or you fly all the way to some other part of the country or another country for a concert and the show gets cancelled. It is ZM's Brinklin podcast. It is looking increasingly likely that after securing a trip to the NRL grand final to watch the Warriors play,

Bree and I and some ZM listeners, it's looking increasingly likely that we will be there, but the Warriors won't. I don't know that for sure. I don't know that for sure. It's just if you go off the way things are going, it's not, it's definitely not, I mean, it was never a sure thing. It's just each week that goes by it, starting to feel less and less like a sure thing. We want to know some other stories from people this afternoon who went all the way somewhere for the thing that didn't end up happening.

Melissa's here. Hi, Melissa. Oh, hi. Where'd you go? What was it for? So we went, we bought tickets to C. Slip, not my partner's a huge fan. Oh, yes, this year.

Back when we first met, you know, so 2019, they were coming with Metallica. Yeah. And then James Hedfield ended up rehab so the concert got cancelled so then he was having a big birthday last year and I thought what you know what can I get

him thought not fest not just Slipknot festival so I was like mean I'll get tickets for that yeah so I bought some tickets for it and then about half an hour later after buying premium tickets yeah I realized that

that Flipknot weren't even going to be there so I was pretty bummed but I was already committed at this point. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Went ahead, bought flights and stuff and went over to Sydney and we had a great time. Wait, Slipknot don't play at their own festival? Oh, no, it was rubbish. Anyway, there was a fad liner, but they just went there.

So my partner didn't know about it. It was a huge surprise. It worked out really, really cool because, yeah, he didn't know until we were literally at the festival. He found out at the airport we were going to Sydney and still had no idea what. You just made the most of it, right, Melissa. You just made the most of the situations. I did most of it right.

No, it was real cool. It worked out. But we finally went and sore-slip not in March. Oh, thank God. Thank God. You had to complete the story arc. That's great. Thanks, Melissa.

I appreciate it. There's so many texts about that Metallica show, actually. And everybody who texts in about it goes, and then James Hepfeld had to bloody go and go into rehab. The number of people who say it like that is so good. someone said we went all the way to South Africa we found out about a month prior to going that the wedding we were going for was off

but we still went and we even still hung out with the bride and groom at the wedding venue on their wedding day because they had accommodation booked there there was just no wedding. Why didn't the wedding happen? Why was the bride and the groom there and the venue was still there but they didn't

did they change their mind? That's so interesting to me it doesn't say I planned a trip to Malta to see Fisher and then on to Zurich to see the Jonas Brothers. That is a sick trip. They both cancelled. I couldn't get any refunds, thousands of dollars, but at least I got a good holiday.

Look, there are worse places to be stranded than Malta in Zurich. But what are the chances that both of the acts that you were going to see in different countries end up canceling on you? That seems like the universe playing some kind of sick trick on you. This is birthday banger where we tell you the number one song on your 16th birthday and Karen is up first. Kura, Karen.

How are you going? How's your day been? Good, thank you. What about you? It's been lovely, thank you. Let's figure out what your birthday banger is. What's your day to birth, Karen? It's the 29th of December 84. Okay, Karen, you were born on the 29th of December in the year 2000, and on that day, this was number one.

Wheatis. Recently voted the greatest one-hit wonder of the 2000s. What do you reckon? How random, love it. You love it, eh? I think it's good to have a one-hit wonder in this segment sometimes because they stand out. Wait there, Karen, we'll do Jess's birthday banger. Hi, Jess.

Hi. How you going? How's your day been? Good. It's been cold. Whereabouts? Lower heart. Oh, lower heart.

Okay. Yeah, very good. Let's do your birthday banger. What's your date of birth, Jess? 8th of April, 1989. All right. You were 16 on the 8th of April 2005. And on that day, this was number one.

Peas. Don't funk with my heart. Peek, black-eyed peas. What do you reckon? Do you like it? I like the other one better. Do you? You like Wetus better than this.

Yeah. This had the really good music video, didn't it, where they were like hosting a game show, like a 70s-style game show, I think. It's my memory of it anyway. Wait there, Jess will do Liv's birthday banger. Hi, Jette. Live.

Hi. How's your day been? How's your weekend, actually? Oh, it was beautiful weekend. Some was out, pretty good weekend. Yeah, bloody lovely. Okay, you get the last birthday banger of the day. What's your date of birth?

Yeah, an oldie but a goodie. It's the 2nd of December 1971. All right, Lou, you were 16 on the 2nd of December 1987, and this was the number one song. Hell yeah. Oh, yeah, that's so good. Belinda Carlyle. And Heaven is a Place on Earth.

You into it? Yeah, I just love that song. That's a great one. Yeah, it's iconic. Yeah. Does it remind you of being 16? Oh, yeah. It really is.

That era was such a good era. Bloody lovely. Okay, wait there, Love. We're going to decide between Weedis, Black IPs, and Plyle. There's going to be Weetus. I think I'm first. on a bit of Wheatis this afternoon. Claudia, do you agree?

I feel like out of all of them and they were all great, it probably has to be Wheatis. It has to be Wheatis. I think it's going to be the greatest one hit wonder of the 2000s. And it is for a reason. It is for a reason, absolutely.

Karen, congratulations. You just won birthday banger. Amazing, thank you. You're very welcome. Here it is. From the year 2000, it's Wheatis on ZM. Z.M's Brie and Clint podcast.

Weedis on ZM birthday banger for Karen. It was number one in the year 2000. ZD.N. It's been confirmed that Christchurch will host the Super Rugby Super Round on Anzac weekend next year in their brand new stadium to Kaha. All of the Super Rugby teams playing in the one stadium, over one long weekend. It's just like the NRL magic round,

except it's the super rugby version. One man who is going to be very happy about this news is the boss of the Crusaders. Colin Mansbridge, and he joins us on the phone right now. Kilda Colin. How are you, mate? Not as good as you, I reckon.

Well, especially because we will be banning cowbells, too, mate. I think that's a problem. You bastard. You bastard. I wasn't going to bring that up. As a salty Chiefs fan, I have not let it go. And I reckon that was the difference. I reckon those cowbells was the difference, Colin.

I reckon it was, mate. Absolutely. Hey, how stoked are you guys? And is the stadium going to be ready in time? Doesn't it open that same week? So, yeah. So I think the practical, we're excited. The practical completion date 18th of April in 2026.

Yeah. But B6 Wattpack, the contract. have been charging along at this thing. They're ahead of schedule, ahead of budget, and, you know, they've done other big projects like this, and that's been their motorswomeni. Did you guys get one of the good builders? Because I'm sitting here opposite the Sky City Convention Centre,

which is due to open in 2019. And she's not open, Colin. I reckon these guys are pretty good. They did the Cowboys, North Queensland and Cowboys Stadium up in Townsville. And same thing. a head of a budget and ahead of schedule there. They're pretty good actually. Oh, good on you guys.

I think we got the best. That's bloody good. Hey, let's talk about this Super Round itself because I'm very excited about it. I've actually already booked my flights. I booked them at, when the news came out at 10 o'clock, I booked my flights at 1001. So I will be there in the stadium and I'm going to smuggle a cowbell on my person, Colin. Talk to me about the atmosphere inside the stadium for this. Because this is not just the people who like rugby, right?

This is a party. That's right. The whole thing is it is a party. to be, you know, there'll be some entertainments and bands, you know, obviously a grand opening, there'll be, and it's, it's, who's hung around waiting for this thing to open for over 10 years. Yeah. It's meant to be a celebration of that.

As much as it is, Super Rugby Pacific's Super Round, which is pretty awesome. You guys deserve it down in Canterbury, and you, you've suffered without a proper stadium for so long. Will you guys get to buy all of the tickets before any of the rest of the country get to buy any of the tickets. Like, I've got flights, but no ticket to the match. No, no, apparently there's a few punters like you. I think your name's

in the system as blacklisted. But other than that, other than that, I'm pretty sure that most people can get tickets. So, we're talking about the process today. So tickets won't go on sale until end of September, early October. Yeah.

But obviously, that's plenty of time to get here. There'll be travel packages and all that sort of thing to go on sale. Oh, so good. And so people will be able to, I'm sure that there's, what, 25,000 seats per day. So 75,000 tickets across the weekend. I'm trying to get across to people who are not rugby people, how cool this thing is going to be. It's like, if you're old enough to remember the sevens in Wellington, this is the vibe. If you did the NRL-9s in Auckland back in the day, that's the vibe.

That's right, isn't it, Colin? Yeah, and the 10s in Suncorp, rugby 10s in Suncorp. It'll be that sort of, that sort of experience. We did it a couple of years ago in Melbourne. Yes. And it was good fun, but Melbourne's not a rugby town. No. This is a rugby town.

So you'll actually end up with a whole lot of people. And it's, you know, about earlier in the year we'll have done Electric Avenue in the early part of the year. Yeah. And so I would say this is electric avenue for people of all ages. Hey, hey, hey, some of my best friends. are Gen X's who love to go to Electric Avenue. Thanks very much, Colin. Fair enough, Clint. Hey, in all seriousness, this is very cool news for Canterbury and it is such a long time coming. We're stoked for you guys and we're coming, Colin. It's going to be

bloody good. Awesome, mate. Well, we can't wait to have you. And seriously, if you do bring a cowbell, you're allowed to bring yours in, mate. Absolutely. Oh, really? I'll be the one. I'm the one who gets to bring it in. I'm going to have a custom-made six-foot cowbell. which is going to have to be hoisted from the roof of that brand new stadium. And I'm going to use this audio to get me through the gate, Colin. Fair enough. Fair enough, mate. Hey, thanks so much for your time.

We appreciate it. No worries, Clint. Thanks for the call and thanks for the support, mate. We know you'll have fun. All good. That's the news on the Super Rugby Super Round on Anzac Weekend next year. Go and have a look at flights if you want to go. Mine were bloody cheap.

They may put them up by now, but mine were good. 200 bucks. Ella said to us today that there's an important payment that has stopped, and I don't understand what she's talking about. Ella? Yeah, neither until my mom called me up and said, Ella, what are you doing? Basically, we all kind of are encouraged to get insurance for our things,

contents insurance, life insurance, and car insurance. And I have been paying for it. Don't get me wrong, ever since I got a car, I'm paying for it. But for some reason, I've been going on for. like honestly a couple of months and the payment has stopped you've been driving around uninsured yeah that is so risky

because you know I'm not the best of the best drivers at all so you were paying your own insurance yeah yeah quite expensive may I say the automatic payment must have just stopped or something that's what I think it was run out no there wasn't enough money in my bank account oh gutters yeah so that is a very good reminder for everyone out there just maybe check

your payments? Because honestly, I, thankfully, so my grandma dinked my car. Yeah. So it's not me needing to make the claim and pay. Are you going to charge grandma through the nose? Take it to the bloody cleaners. I'm taking it to court. Yeah, yeah. You're right. That's not what it is. It's if you crash. It's not your Demio that's at risk in a crash here. It's if you crash into my BMW. I did crash into someone the other day. And they haven't called me, thankfully. Oh my God. Did you have another crash? No, just recently.

You haven't told us about this? I told you. I reversed into someone at work. You just don't tell us this. Yeah, you told me that. Yeah, it was in public, like, right outside the office with half of the office watching. Were the people that you reversed into there? Yeah, they were honking at me.

I thought they were honging at someone else. Jesus Christ. So I haven't gotten a call from her, so that's fine. Yeah, that's all good. I don't know if your insurance did run out, or if they just decided that you're uninsurable. Maybe. Like, we work in the business of liabilities and you are liability. Yeah.

Yeah. Whoopsies. And I also got this handy thing called roadside assistance. $70. It's worth it. Roadside assistance is so worth it. Yeah. When she was telling me about it, I was like, sign me up.

You can get it cheaper than $70, though. Oh, well, too late. Oh. Well, that's a good price then. Oh, my. Good deal. $70 for the year. Well, there's a good reminder to everybody.

Go and check out your insurances. My worst nightmare is like your house burns down and they go, hey, your last payment actually bounced, so there's no insurance for you. Yeah, so nothing for you. Play ZM's Brian Clint on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and live weekdays from three on ZM.
