you the ZM podcast network hello everybody welcome to the brilliant Clint podcast where because Maddie's here, today it's got a hip-hop flavor. You know? We're on straight. Yeah.

What? Maddie's got that vibe about her. You heard this? Have I? This is the new Jack Harlow song called Do A Leap A. Do A Leap A. It's called Do A Leap A. Yeah.

Do A Leap A. He's trying to do more with her than do a feature. Yeah. I left that look in the up. He wants to pash her. He wants to do it. Did you see the review this album got on Pitchfork? No, but I'd love to know.

Oh, it was bad. Really? It was bad. This whole album. Yeah, it got a 2.9. Surely it's not that bad. Out of 10? Out of 10. I was going to say out of 100. He's popular, though, got a 2.9. Surely it's not that bad. Out of 10? Out of 10.

I was going to say out of 100. He's popular, though. People like him. Their main issue was, though, that in public, at the Met Gala, everything is really bubbly. He's got lots of personality. He's great for capturing attention, but that all disappears on his music. So I would argue that Pitchfork are probably a bit too cool.

Yeah. And they're coming at it from an overly critical point of view because First Class is a hit. So how can you give it 2.5 when that's the biggest song in the world right now? Yeah, I don't think they really care about how popular it is. They want to know if they care about where it's going. Music credibility. Will people listen to that?

Yeah, and let's be honest. I don't know that jack harlow's going for music credibility he's just going for hit after hit yeah he's going for do it exactly he wants to do more with her than do a feature they've got to do a song together surely surely they're setting that up is the album out is the jack harlow album out yeah it is damn hot hot hip hop see we're street now now that Maddie's here yeah

Olympian tour To New Zealand This October And he joins us on the show To talk about it right now Good afternoon Jonathan Van Ness Yay

Hi Hi Hi You're coming to New Zealand How good Oh my gosh I'm so excited to come back it was breathtakingly beautiful when I came the first time this is kind of random but ever since I left New Zealand I've been obsessed with trees and um like our galaxy like the milky way because I can see it so clearly there okay yeah. Yeah. Like literally in the last two weeks, I've done episodes on my podcast about trees.

And today I did one about the Milky Way. That'll be coming out in a few weeks, all inspired from my time in New Zealand. So I'm really excited to get inspired again, come back to New Zealand, see everyone there, bring my new show there. My new show is like not to call myself funny,

which is kind of not funny, but my new show really is funny. The gymnastics is fire. It's like, it's so good. You have to call it funny. is kind of not funny but my new show really is funny the gymnastics is fire it's like it's so good you have to call it funny because if you don't you know like if you come on this interview and you go it's not very funny it's not going to sell that many tickets you know no it's very it's we have a lot of lulz it's really this show is about well actually part of my show is about my cat's intense allergies to the state of texas okay currently looking just a bald spot on her tail so deep you can't even believe it that is that is like there's like a five minute joke in there about that because like i have to give her allergy shots of a hypodermic needle like because the vet like taught us how to do it

it's this whole thing it's like a nightmare uh you know it is it's funnier than that uh in the show but really what the show is about it's about like queer joy and duality, you know, because really the human experience is that like, we can have really exciting, amazing things happen. And we can have like really terrible things happen. And sometimes those things happen at the same time. So it's kind of about like finding joy in confusing times. A lot's happened in the last couple years since I was in New Zealand. So excited to celebrate and celebrate the duality of life, honey. Jonathan, I've been, I'm a fill-in today on ZM and I've been brought in as the show's resident homosexual. And I'm so excited to see you. And I wondered because I look at you and I just think, oh my gosh, here's a guy who just has so much confidence in himself.

Has it always been that way for you? Have you always had this level of confidence? confidence yeah it's never wavered just like you're so hilarious and so attractive i'm just kidding um no and i think i think that having confidence and self-acceptance is like a constant journey that we're always on and i think that that's you know being a survivor of trauma which i am i think that's part of what made me so funny and such a storyteller, because sometimes when you survive, like when you survive trauma, if you couldn't make a joke about it, you would just be like in your mom's basement, eating pop tarts the rest of your life. So, you know, I think that confidence is,

it's a part of who I am. It's not all of who I am. And I think that we all have a different relationship with confidence and we all feel it more times than others. Well, maybe we could pump you up a little bit i've got an incredible compliment here that was paid to you by a celebrity on our show i need to check first of all you know who lord is don't you no stop it yes yes no wait for the no yes no wait for no so so last year when she released her new album and the song solar power i love Power. I love Solar Power so much. It's like all I listen to for like 10 hours a day. And I really love Lorde.

And if you tell me that she said something about me on your show, I'm going to have a like, I don't know if I can get down there for the tour because like on JVN Hair, like all we do is listen to Lorde. Like we love Lorde so much. What did she say? Okay. So what if I told you it was specifically about your hair?

Tell me what she said. So when she put out Solar Power, there's a line in the song. You'll know it. She says, I'm kind of like a she said. So, when she put out Solar Power, there's a line in the song, you'll know it. She says, I'm kind of like a prettier Jesus. Yeah, of course.

We asked Lorde this question. Who do you think had better hair? Actual Jesus, Jonathan Van Ness from Queer Eye, aka Gay Jesus,

or you? Who had or has better hair? JVN, right? His hair is so glossy and luscious. I could never compete. It's unreal.

It's what he does for a living. That's not true! She's got so much... Your hair is so gorgeous. The texture, I love it. Her natural texture, I love it. She blows it smooth. Eddie, you have the best hair. Oh my God. That's the... Wow, I can't believe it. Lauren, honey, I love you so much. I just... I love Solar Power.

I just... Stone at the Nail Salon. It's just so good. Yeah. I just... I love you so much. I just, I love solar power. I just, Stone at the Nail Salon. It's just so good. I just, I love you so much. But also, can you just give my love to Jacinda? I love that Jacinda so much. I really do. You know, obviously Prime Minister Auden.

God, I love her. She's just so great. Like, she's just like, I think she's like one of our like top, like five favorite people in America. Just period. You know, with the country like this, if we get that clip to her in america just period you know with the country like this if we get that clip to her she'll likely meet you at the year she absolutely will she'll come pick you up she'll get you from arrivals really well she picked up steve colbert when

you're right here i just want to be like prime minister but then she'll be like you're american and i'll be like i know i don't know what happened. I just freaked out. I don't know what that was. Look, we'll DM Jacinda for you and we'll set something up, okay? So in New Zealand, is everyone just like, you can just call the prime minister? Yeah. It's just like, with like 5 million total people, you just have more like one-on-one access or something. Absolutely.

One of our other hosts here at ZM, Vaughn, went to school with her. So they just Facebook message on the daily Just to the Prime Minister I just think up that there's 5 million people in New Zealand Or is that really the No that's the number Yeah That's it

That's so hot I love that You'll meet all of them Because they're all going to come to your show Jonathan Van Ness I can't wait Is coming He's going to be here this October

It's in October. You can win free tickets from ZM by texting Jonathan to 9696. Right now, though, we need to talk about the iPod. How's your iPod, Matty? Have you charged it today? It's buried deep in a box somewhere. It will be in my house, though. It's a relic now.

Could be a museum item. Today, Apple announced that the iPod is officially dead. They're not selling it anymore. They're not making it anymore. They're not making it. There's only one iPod still on the market. It's the iPod Touch, which actually really is just an iPhone

that can't make any phone calls. It's an iPhone that can't take a SIM card, right? God, I remember the excitement of the iPod coming out though. Yeah, but 2001, it was the thing that you had to have, right? And it changed music. As elder millennials, you'll remember when it came out and you're like, whoa, you can get a thousand songs on this thing?

It was mind-blowing. I remember borrowing someone's iPod and the ability to be able to listen to whatever song you wanted. And it wasn't whatever song. It's whatever song you had on there. It was revolutionary, right? Well, just think about what you had to use before then. It was the Discman.

Yes. And it was so big because it had to use before then. It was the Discman. Yes. And it was so big because it had to fit a CD in it. And you could only listen to the CD. If you were out on the go, you could only listen to the CDs that you could fit in your CD wallet. I remember I was living overseas. I went and did a student exchange and I had to catch a 13-hour train trip to Italy. Yes, yeah. And I took my Discman with me and I thought

great, this is so good, I'm going to listen to music the whole time and then I realised I'd forgotten my CD sleeve and only had the one CD that was in my Discman What was the CD? It was Stripped by Christina Aguilera I mean a good CD

but it does mean I know every single lyric to every single song. Seeing as the iPod is dead, I've got some iPod facts for you today. The first iPod was sold on the 10th of November in 2001. Wow. Way back in 2001. There's an official iPod Day every year

on the 23rd of October. I wonder if that will stick around now that the iPod is dead. Well, I don't know that many people, are people still celebrating it? I don't know. Are people still using it? I don't know. Are people still using it? I don't know.

I know. Five and a half years after the iPod came out, Apple had sold 100 million iPods in five years. That's mental. It was like their biggest selling thing for a long time. It was like 35% of all sales at the Apple company were iPods. And the iPod Supreme is considered the world's most expensive iPod ever.

It's covered in 149 grams of 22-carat gold. The outer section of the iPod has 300 diamonds, and the main navigation button has 12 diamonds, which surround a single cut pink diamond of 2.1 carat. The device came in a box made from white lacquered wood and it cost US $233,000. Come on. And then we got Spotify. And the guy went, shit.

Dammit. I might have overreached myself here. Now I can put it on a chain and wear it around his neck. And remember we had a New Zealand song on the iPod ad? Stereogram were on there. Throwback. And at the time, before Lorde, they were like, this is the most

important thing that has ever happened in New Zealand music. The issue if you still had an iPod though, because I'm just thinking, you know, every time you get a new iPhone, you have to update the charger. Imagine what the charger was to charge the iPod. It's that enormous 30-pin thing. You'd have to go deep into your charging, the box

that you have with all your chargers in it to find that one. Put it on mum's iPod dock. Please welcome to the show from Dancing with the Stars, it's Dave Lutelli! Welcome. Thank you very much for having me. Hey Twinkle Toes, how's it going? I'm more like Hammerfeet Hammerfeet

Of course it's rude to reduce you down to Dave from Dancing With The Stars But that's what you're doing at the moment So let's talk about that first How's it going being a ballroom dancer? Did you ever think you'd be out there wearing spandex and sparkles And spinning some lady around the dance floor? Never in my life did I think I'd be doing something like this, but, you know, it's awesome.

It's a good challenge and it's good to be uncomfortable, so I'm happy. I couldn't do it. I was going to say, look me in the eyes and tell me genuinely how you're finding it right now, Dave. It's tough. It's extremely tough. You'll know Dave from all the other things he's done in the past.

You boxed for a long time under the name The Brown Butterbean. The Brown Butterbean, yep. How big were you when you were boxing? When I started boxing, I was 210 kilos. I had my first fight at 168. Not many professional boxers start their career at that, but I was more like a sideshow act. Just do silly stuff to get on camera.

And what's your dancing weight? So I'm about 115, 120. Wow. I got down to 108. That was really just so I could say for marketing I lost over 100 kilos. Sell a few online programs. A good tagline. Yeah.

But I sit comfortably. When I used to play rugby league in Australia, I'd play around 115, 120 kilos. Yeah. Sonny Bill weight. Yeah, but Sonny Bill weight 120 kilos yeah Sonny Bill weight yeah but Sonny Bill weight just not Sonny Bill looks you've also got brown uh butter bean motivation which is right out there in the community doing all kinds of things from fitness to feeding people as well so you're a busy man Dave yeah you know who would have ever thought that what started as a circus act would

turn into a group that's literally helping hundreds of thousands of people uh you know we've fed uh you know close to 200 000 people just since august last year yeah when i started keeping record uh you know we've got two free community gyms newland and monaco we've got a community kitchen where we teach people how to cook healthy on a budget we've got a food share it's a food distribution center and we're just about to open and took it on and everything's free so yeah that's what the show's about for me getting on and spreading the message you're getting more profile for our movement and for the charity that's beautiful but how are you finding the dance look it's i'm not a natural dancer at all and did you think you were because i started doing some dancing on tiktok last year

and i always thought i had rhythm until I had to start learning choreography. Or did you know going into it, there's no way I'm getting around the dance floor easily. I knew that I've always known I'm not a good dancer. But we talk about it a lot in our group, being comfortable with being uncomfortable. You just don't get any more uncomfortable than doing something you're not good at on live TV

and then open yourself up for judgment. So it's very nerve-wracking. Hey, you've beat out some fan favorites. Sonia Gray, Eli Mathewson, you're still there, Dave. Still there, yeah. Eli's a great friend and, you know, it was a shock, as we all know, but you've just got to get out there and vote. Your haka to honor Eli when he was eliminated was hard to watch, man,

because it was so meaningful. Like what you did there, and I think you were representing the entire group, right? It must be a tight-knit group of people in there. It's emotional in the Dancing with the Stars camp, right? Yeah, I get shivers just thinking about it. You know, I was actually waiting for all the cameras to go. Normally, you know, I've got three kids and my wife at home.

I'm trying to get out of there as quickly as possible. I just waited, waited, waited, and then i said goodbye to everyone who was left and then i elia was the last one and i it just felt right yeah because of what he represented the hope he gave you know a lot of a lot of youth going going through that yeah um it just felt right and then clint managed to get the last bit of it you know so and i just said to him you know this this is a challenge you've overcome already so many challenges oh he won just by being there right yeah and you know this is this is just another challenge for you and i don't think you know for him it was really it was really emotional

for me to do it and i don't think he'd ever had that ahaka performed for him no right there yeah and you know he broke down uh as soon as it started happening. And it was a beautiful thing. It was. And it was beautiful to watch as well. And like Clint said, it just shows how tight you are. How's the training going? It must be grueling. It is absolutely grueling.

You're, you know, at least 20 hours a week. And when you have a family and you're busy anyway, it puts a lot of pressure on you. So I'm lucky I've got a good team. And it's getting harder like this week we've got to learn two dances two full dances and really only three days yeah because you know the shows you're there monday you find out if you're safe or not then you gotta tuesdays you might as well not have it because you just yeah like you go oh yeah so really today it's

wednesday thursday friday is all we got What size foot are you, Dave? 13. I've got three left feet. I was going to say, because you have to wear some pretty weird shoes to do ballroom dancing, like those Cuban heels and stuff. I've got a big foot too. Where do they find those kind of dancing shoes? Are they custom made for you? No, you can find them.

You can find them. I'm lucky because, you know, I've had nine knee operations. So they're letting me off and not having to wear the real high heels. Good. But my knee locks up as I'm doing when I'm dancing on TV. It locks up. Okay, we have to keep you on this show because what you're doing is bigger than dancing.

So to support you, we've got to text Dave to 3333. Is that right? Keep me in as long as possible because the more people exposed to the work we do, the better. And where's the money going it all goes to just move charitable health trust which is our charity which runs every single thing we do yeah it's free there you go and it costs a lot of money to do it what are you doing this weekend can you tell us i don't know if i can tell you i mean i'm uh why not you know i'm dancing uh quick step Step and Jive. And Quick and Stepping don't go in the sentence with my name. There it is.

That is Dave Lutelli from Dancing With The Stars. When does the stripper pole come out? What week is that? It'll be me on it. Bree and Clint. Time for the later. From iHeartRadio, this is the Latest. Live from LA with Dean McCarthy. Dean's here.

Dean, people are starting to get concerned for Britney again over some Instagram posts that she's doing. Yeah, she's been on the gram and she's definitely running her own Instagram, which I can confirm because if you've seen it, you'll agree it's very

freeing. So here's the deal, right? Freeing? She's going on Instagram and she's posting literally naked photos of herself. I think she was in Mexico. She posted, but she puts a little emoji over any parts that need to be covered or censored. And then when you swipe along, you'll see the same photo with five different filters on them. It's Britney living her best. It's really divided people.

People are looking at it from two different ways. One side is like, oh, my God, this is so great. She's being herself. She's like, whatever. I'm Britney. I'm living my best life. The other half of the people are like, oh, my God, what's going on? Is there something to worry about?

The thing is this. If you follow any of the, a lot of the celebrities and influencers in the world, most of them are pretty naked. Most of them I follow on Instagram are pretty much naked on Instagram. So I don't know. Nah, nah, nah. This is different. This is. And we, because you said she puts a little emoji over it.

It's a really little emoji. And there's influencers and then there's Britney Spears, you know? Ariana Grande's not putting this stuff up. It's just I mean, you do you, boo. It's just a bit concerning, right? I've seen more of... You know, I'm team Britney. Yeah, you're very team Britney. As am I, but I've seen

more of Britney than I have of any woman in a very long time, Dean. And that's saying something. Yesterday on Breakfast, we had one of our reporters was out and about doing an on-the-spot live cross for us.

Like what you used to do. Like, yes, my bread and butter for a long time on Breakfast. I like them. You get all sorts of people pop up in these things. Totally. And, you know, it's so much fun for so many reasons,

but it's also live television and sometimes it can go wrong or go in a different direction than you thought it was going to go. Totally. So our reporter, Wilson Longhurst, was down in Britomart doing a story about a live cross about an art installation that they've put down there. Okay. But all we in the studio could focus on

was the fact that a dude in a high-vis vest was doing his very best attempt to get on breakfast television. He was walking up and down behind him. He was waving to the camera. You saw him kind of doing multiple trips, laps around where the exhibition was. He was on his phone as well. He was on his phone the whole time as well. So at the end of doing multiple trips, laps around where the exhibition was. He was on his phone as well.

He was on his phone the whole time as well. So at the end of the live cross, we couldn't not address it because it was so apparent to us that this was going on. So we had to tell Wilson that he needed to talk to this guy. Listen to this. So there's a guy behind you in a high-vis vest who has been very excitedly standing behind

I just want to tell my partner that I love if you're not married, it's time to put a ring on it, isn't it? What's his partner's name? Yeah, let's have a marriage proposal. It's in the plan. It's in the works. It's in the works. It's in the works. Love it. It's meant to be.

God's plan. I love it. Thanks, Wilson. Thanks, Wilson. That is so cute. He's clearly on the phone to his partner going, To his partner. Turn TV on now.

Yeah. I'm going to be on TV. And all it was initially, of course, was him just waving in the background or just basically kind of lurking in the background. And then he got an actual opportunity to say something. And as soon as we, Wilson said to him, is there anything you want to say on national television?

We all in the studio went, oh God, this could go terribly. He's going to do an effort right in the piece. Yes, exactly. That's the risk. That is the total risk. But nah, he nailed it. And he said a beautiful sentiment to his partner. I hope his partner wanted to hear that

because when I see anything like that, you go, oh, beautiful. No, for me, I know that is the last thing that my wife Lucy wants. And our partners are very similar. Absolutely. I know your partner, Ryan, your fiance, would die if you were to do that to him live on TV.

He'd be so mad at me. Imagine if you had proposed to him on breakfast TV. He would have said no. We wouldn't be together anymore. So I thought this afternoon, let's open the phones up to everybody around the country to do this if you'd like to confess your love to somebody. It doesn't matter if you need to because you're in the dog box

or you want to because you're just so in love. Anybody can do this on 0800DARLSATM. And to get it started, I reckon you and I should do it, Manny. Great. I reckon we should confess our love to our partners who don't want to hear it at all. Okay, go first.

And I'm willing to go first. I'm willing to put myself first. Do it. Lucy. I know you don't like a fuss being made and the idea of PDA gives you PTSD but I need to take this opportunity to say you're my world my everything

the mother of our children and the love of our children, and the love of my life, Lucy Sleip. Please, please, don't lock me out of the house tonight for saying this on the radio. I'm really sorry.

And I love you. That was beautiful. I thought so. She won't, but I thought you. That was beautiful. I thought so. She won't, but I thought so. I got goosebumps. Come on, join them. Get with the program.

Let's send one out to Ryan as well, Matty. Ryan, babe. I've never called him babe before in my life. Babe, honey, you are the wind beneath my wings. You are my everything. You are the moon and the stars in my atmosphere. I don't know what I would do without you. And I cannot wait to marry you this year.

I love you. And much like Lucy, please, please, don't break up with me. Please forgive us. Love you, babe. This afternoon, we are spreading the love. Well, we are.

So to speak. Oh, we're spreading the love. Spreading it wide. Opening our love case. Okay, okay. We're going deep. After a tradie commandeered the breakfast television airwaves yesterday to confess his love to his girlfriend,

we thought, why don't we do more of this, Matty? Why don't we share more love? You've got to tell the people that you love that you love them when you can. And if you're too nervous to do it, we can do it for you. Like this text message here. I want to confess my love to Clint and Matty. Come round for beers after work, boys.

We would love to. I'd love to. We would love to. Some lovers love to. We would love to. Some lovers on the phone. Sean is here. Kia ora, Sean. Hello. You want to confess your love to somebody this afternoon?

Yes, I do indeed. Well, go ahead. Take it away, please. I would like to confess my dying love to my beautiful fiancée, Jessica Chaney. Thank you for putting up with me, known as Mr. Grumpy Pants in our house. I look forward to spending the rest of my life with you and the adventures that our life brings. I love you, Jess, and I hope you hear this.

Oh, sure. See, who wouldn't like this? You reckon you're going to get some tonight? Fingers crossed. Fingers crossed. And hey, hey, if it does happen, think of us.

All right, well, we want to hear how much you're feeling it. Who do you want to profess your love to today? To my partner and mother of my daughter, Casey. Awesome. Well, take it away, Madison. Well, I'd just like her to know that I'm just super proud of her

doing so well in her new job, and she's always made sure that me and my daughter have everything that we need. And yeah, she's just amazing in every single form and way. And I look forward to being with her and watching our daughter grow and just sharing our future together. That is beautiful, Madison. Now, just confirm for us, you're definitely not in the dog box at the moment, I am, using us to get yourself out of the dog box?

No, no way. It'd be okay if you were. It's fine. We're providing a service here. This is a legit way to get yourself out of it. But you're not? No, definitely not. Oh, Madison, that's beautiful.

If I was, I'm not now. Now you're in credit, eh? Yeah, this is pre-emptive. It's a pre-emptive strike. This is pre-emptive. Well, that was beautiful beautiful I'm feeling the love Are you feeling the love Matty? I've got the warm fuzzies

It's beautiful Thank you everybody I took a trip to Wellington recently Matty For my brother's engagement party God I love Wellington Such a good city I lived there for six years It's a fantastic place

Yeah But something was off There was something wrong In the capital That I noticed It wasn't windy? It wasn't windy actually Okay

But I actually get really good weather whenever I go to Wellington Right I think I'm like a talisman So you're responsible for it You can't be done on a good day I'm the good day, yeah But no, something was off And I thought rather than us trying to figure it out together

Let's go all the way to the top So please welcome to the show this afternoon The Mayor of Wellington The Right Honourable Andy Foster. Good afternoon. Hi, Clint, and hi, Matty. And Clint, if you can bring that sort of weather to us, it's been great over the last couple of years. You're always responsible for some of that.

A good omen. A good omen. We'll have you back any day. We'll have you back any day. We'll start off with the positives, and like we said before, Andy, how good's Wellington? Wellington can't beat on a good day. Look, I've just been in a number of conversations,

just people loving the compact city. There's so much happening in the central city. That's what we love about it. And that's what we're trying to get back to, obviously, with the people coming back and events starting to get back going again. And, you know, you can't beat it when it's humming. How often do you pop down and put yourself in that big Wellington sign and make the eye with your body in?

Outside to Papa, yeah. Oh, look, I actually had a lovely email from a French couple that I met the other day. They just arrived here and they posted me a picture of them standing in the eye in Wellington. People are enjoying that. They're loving it. Perfect.

Money well spent. Look, Andy, I'm going to cut to the chase. The issue I had when I was in Wellington had to do with the Vic Park Tunnel. Love the Vic Park Tunnel. Great tunnel. That time that guy did a poo in the Vic Park Tunnel and they had to shut it down. Do you remember that?

Oh, that's news to me. It was before your mayoralty. Someone did a poo in the tunnel and they had to close the tunnel. Shut the whole tunnel down. Oh, God's news to me. It was before your mayoralty. Someone did a poo in the tunnel and they had to close the tunnel. They shut the whole tunnel down. That gross. It's not focused on that, though. That's not the issue that I had. No one had pooed in the tunnel when I was there. The issue I had is I went all the way

through the Vic Park tunnel in an Uber and not a single car tooted its horn while I was in there. Not one. Not a car. They were giving you the silent treatment. They must have known you were coming. That's what I wanted to check, Andy, because, I mean, if there was only

a couple of toots, that would have been weird. But to go through there in the middle of the day and there not be a single car toot in the Mount Vic Tunnel was bizarre to me. So my question to you as the mayor is, have people stopped tooting in the Mount Vic tunnel in Wellington? Look, I haven't measured the number of times people toot,

but certainly most of the time I go through, there are some people tooting. Most don't, but some do. It's worth talking about where that all came from. Where we think that started. Yeah, well, where did it come from? Yeah, well, look, the legend has that what you're doing when you're tooting is you're paying tribute

to a young woman who was murdered going way back in the time that the tunnel was built in 1931 and apparently buried by her boyfriend, it's the story, in the tunnel. Oh, my God. I just thought it was a fun thing you did while you drove. Screw that. Well, this is where the legend is,

but it's essentially paying tribute to keeping a ghost away or something like that. That is so dark. And now I feel even worse than nobody tooted. That poor woman. So I wanted to ask you, straight up, Andy Foster, Mayor of Wellington, do you still support tooting in the Mount Vic tunnel in Wellington?

I still support it. Look, I've made no comment on whether I support it or don't. People will do it. It's not the biggest issue in the world. What I do support is giving ourselves a second tunnel. Another tunnel. Where are you going to put it? Well, it'd be alongside there somewhere.

It could be diagonal. It could be straight through. But, you know, that's part of what we're looking for. Have you got a body that you need to bury? I could probably find quite a few. The bodies of your political enemies. Okay, so for the record, tooting in the tunnel in Wellington not banned? No, there's no law against it.

You know, probably say that, just be a bit careful about it because people who are walking and biking through that can be a bit noisy. But when we have a new tunnel, then the walking and biking will be much more pleasant. A cute little toot-toot from time to time, though. Ah, yeah. There you go. That is the Mayor of Wellington, Andy Foster. Hey, I got to go and take part in this really cool project this morning

The spin-off website Does this series called Firsts Where they invite people in To basically sit down and talk about Their first experiences on a whole heap of topics So it's like First time tasting alcohol Your first memory they asked me about today

Wow okay I don't think I came up with a very good answer. You can't remember your first memory. Who can? Can you? Uh, it's cutting my fifth birthday cake. I said it would have something to do with,

um, with, uh, the pets that I grew up with on a lifestyle block. Oh yeah. Okay. Good one. Which actually leads into another first that they asked me about,

which has really thrown me for a loop today. Okay. They asked me about my first pet and I grew up on a lifestyle block I always thought I grew up on a farm like I thought I was a proper fully fledged farmer yeah until I meet people who lived on actual farm what did you have a couple of cows 40 14 acres 14 acres so yeah there's a couple of chickens a couple of big to me but I'm not a farmer exactly it's not tell you that but we was a couple of chickens, a couple of cows. That sounds big to me, but I'm not a farmer. Exactly.

It's not. Let me tell you that. But we had a couple of, we had some sheep. And so each season, each lambing season, mum and dad would say to me, okay, you get a lamb. It's your lamb. You can name it. You can feed it, take care of it. Once I got to kind of school age, I would take it to lamb and calf day.

Okay. And so I was telling the story about all school age, I would take it to lamb and calf day. Okay. And so I was telling the story about all the things that I would do with my pet lamb. Yeah. And then the lady that was interviewing me as part of the series said, and then you ate it. And I went, Oh my God.

It was this full, full moment where the glass shattered. Yeah. And I just, and I just thought I ate my pet lamb. Had you never thought about the fact that... I genuinely never thought about it before. Where did you think your pet lamb went at the end of each season?

I don't know. Well, at that age, I don't know that I really thought too much about it. And then the next season would roll around. Your parents did a one in, one out. Yeah. And then the next season would roll around and I'd get another lamb and we'd start the process again. Well, do you know for sure that you ate the lamb? No, I don't know.

So I think today I need to get to the bottom of this and we're going to go straight to the horse's mouth. I'm going to call my mum. Oh, don't refer to your mother that way. Put it to her. See if she can tell you the truth about what was one of your pet's names. Little Matthew, I called one of them. Oh, my God. That is so narcissistic.

I know. Are you at all surprised? Hello, Tracy speaking. Hi, Mum. Oh, hey. How are you, darling? Good. You're on radio.

Hi, Mum. Oh, hi, Clint. How are you? Good. How are you? Good. This is my regular appearance. It really is. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Check's in the mail how are you? Good, this is my regular appearance It really is

Checks in the mail, don't worry But this is serious Okay Oh no, I don't do serious No, this is very serious This is possibly like childhood trauma Unvisited stuff here You're going to unravel my childhood here mum

Because I had to talk about my first pet, an experience with my first pet. And I talked about the fact that we grew up on the lifestyle block and I used to get my pet lambs and I'd name them and I'd feed them. And then the lady that was interviewing me said, and then you ate them. And all of a sudden I had a glass shattering moment where I thought, I don't know what happened to my pet lambs. So I want to ask you point blank, did we eat little Matthew, my pet lamb? No. Oh! Are you sure you're not lying to me?

Well, you may have, but I think we sent him off to the works with all the other lambs. Okay, so I didn't eat him, but someone ate him. Probably. Oh, Mum! I thought you were about to go,

no, little Matthew is alive and well. Lived a happy, healthy life on the farm. On the farm. Well, he did for a while until, you know, as your great-grandfather used to say, if you have livestock, unfortunately, you also have dead stock. So, yeah, it's just the way it is. Don't real farmers say you should never name them,

just so you don't form that emotional connection? I know. Or you get your kids to name them, and then just don't tell the kids what happens to the lamb that they name. So they went off to lamb heaven. That's what you were told. So you weren't traumatised too much. But the reality of adulthood now kicks in and you go well actually he was just another lamb and we were only

we weren't we were lifestylers i mean don't make it sound like we had a mess can i just check because you have several children did any of your other children name their pet after themselves or was that just wellty? Well, to be fair, Matt was the eldest and we moved from there when he was just seven and a half, eight. So to be fair, Rob was kind of five and had only just started school. So whereas Matt had been at primary school for a while and they had lamb and calf day.

But also I am possibly the most narcissistic of your children. Oh. That's a whole nother conversation. There's something that I've always wanted that I've never had. PlayStation. Crash Bandicoot. Yeah.

CTR. Crash Team Racing. I'm desperate. To play it. No No I have been searching My whole life For a nickname I saw this On your Instagram story The other day And I've known you

For nigh on 20 years I can't believe You've never had a nickname Never And I've been I've been very I've made no secret Of the fact that I want one

Yeah So whoever knows about it I talk about it all the time Yeah And still no one Gives you that I want one. So whoever knows about it, I talk about it all the time. And still no one gives you a nickname. No one gives me a nickname. And before you ask, no, Matty is not a nickname. Because, you know, my name's Matt. Yeah, no, that's not it.

That's not it. I want one of those nicknames where in 20 years' time, someone goes, why are you called that? Why do they call you Goose Man? Yeah, and I'm like, oh, God, I can't even remember how it started. Oh my God, I can't believe you brought that up. I saw you talking about this on your podcast, Out the Gate that you do, G-A-Y-T-E.

We're clever like that. And you tried to get a nickname for yourself. I did. So this is what I've thought, which is so controversial. You know they say if you want something done right, you've got to bloody do it yourself. Oh, I don't know that you can come up with your own nickname. I just don't know that you can.

Well, then give me one, please, because I've been asking for so long. Tell me the nickname you tried to get going first. So I thought it needed a backstory, you know, and there needed to be a reason why people called me this, at least in the first instance until it caught on. So I was thinking, what's a cute, I was like, it needs to be cute.

Like it needs to be a cute nickname. Because I'm cute. Did you get that? And so I thought, well, what's something that I do? And I thought, well, often when I'm doing a live cross, I put my hand in my pocket. And so I thought, why don't I get, why don't I try and get the nickname

Pockets going? I'm just going to be brutally honest with you. It's not going to stick. Why not? Pockets is not going to stick. I think nicknames deep down somewhere in them, they have a little bit of ribbing involved, like a little bit of,

don't they always have a little bit of like, not necessarily, well, maybe. Maybe. But sometimes they're just circumstance, right? Pockets, Pockets. Pockets. Yep. Okay. So is that the front runner for a nickname for you?

That's the front runner at the moment. Okay. Yeah. And how do you know whether it's worked or not? You need people to start using it, right? Yes. Yes. So would you enjoy people calling up this afternoon and referring to you as Pockets?

I would love that. I can't believe you've never had a nickname. I'm desperate for one. Like there was a guy at our high school that was called Cheese. And no one, I can't even tell you what his actual name was. I don't know why he was called Cheese. He just was. Yeah, right.

That's what I want. I have had a couple of nicknames over my life. None of them have really stuck. Right. For a little bit. They're so embarrassing though. And they're not ones that I one of my nicknames for a while

was Mr May because of a certain calendar that I featured in and I was the month of May you think you're Cleo Bachelor yeah so that one didn't stick thankfully I'm no longer referred to as that did you just bring that up so that

you could remind us that you were all of us that you were in Clio Bachelor of the Year May, if you find the calendar 2010, May I also when I was at high school got called Clinton Part Your Hair which is the least creative nickname of all time the only reason they called me Clinton Part Your Hair

is because I had a centre part in your hair, in my hair so they called me Part Your Hair, oh no I also got called Unicorn Boy for a bit while I had a center part in your hair. In my hair, so they called me part of your hair. Oh no, I also got called Unicorn Boy for a bit while I had a cyst on my forehead. Which was not a nice nickname at all. I mean, the guys at school tried to get homo going for a while, but it didn't really...

But you really leaned into that one, didn't you? You're like, I'll show you. I was like, that's more of a lifestyle than a nickname. You want homo? I'll get you homo. Okay. We want to know this afternoon your bad nicknames.

Matty's on the quest to get a nickname. I'm just saying, you don't always get to choose your nickname. That's true. And, you know,

and that's on me. If I end up getting a nickname that's terrible, then I've asked for it myself. So I have to wear that. So like, because like we've established, the harder you push back against the nickname, the more likely it is to stick.

Like this text message that's come in. My nickname was Dick Frizzle, shortened to Frizz. A friend straight up made it up and made up a backstory that my dad burnt my willy with a car cigarette lighter. None of it was true, but the more I fought, the more it stuck. Right through school, I was frizzed. Why do they call you frizzed?

Oh, it's because his dad burned his wagon with a car cigarette lighter. No, it's not true. Sounds like it's true to me. Someone else just texted and said, I had puberty earlier than everyone else and was an E-cup by the age of 12. I was called the Juggernaut. Oh, see, that is painful and hard to recover from.

And that's, you're right, that's the thing about nicknames is often you don't get to choose them yourself and often they're not necessarily the names you want to be called. Sometimes you could have a nickname and not even know that you have a nickname, you know? Like, I bet they weren't calling Juggernaut Juggernaut to her face all the time. Jake's here. G'day, Jake. G'day, guys. How's it going?

Good. How are you? Oh, I've been another day's almost over. Good. What's your bad nickname that you got? Well, I will call you Pockets for all of eternity, Matty, if you can guess why my nickname is Cauliflower. Cauliflower.

Cauliflower. Not because you played rugby and you got the funny years, you know, from being in the scrum. Not at all. Do you kind of smell like cauliflower? You know it can smell a bit farty sometimes, cauliflower? No. Well, you have to tell us.

Why do they call you Cauliflower? Well, my mum used to take us quite healthy lunches to school, and I'm a twin, so she would get us both a stalk of cauliflower each, just raw off the plant. Right. So we took Cauliflower to just raw off the plant. Right. So we took cauliflower to school for about three years through school life, and that was our nickname. So they were bullying you for your stink lunch.

That's why they called you cauliflower. Yeah, but I totally owned that. But why did you get it and your twin brother didn't get called cauliflower? Oh, we both got it. Oh, you both got it. Oh, you're cauliflower and cauliflower. Yeah, all right. Ca. Oh, you both got it. You're cauliflower and cauliflower. Yeah, all right. Cauliflower one, cauliflower two.

Well, I know. It's not bad. Someone just texted and said, my nickname in primary school was Booker the Hooker. I don't even understand. Is that like anonymous? Do they have a romp in the library or something? I don't know.

I don't understand. Okay, you want to remain anonymous that's okay what was your bad nickname anonymous my bad nickname was piss pot piss pot

piss pot okay and now I know why you wanted to be anonymous what happened so way back you know in my early drinking days

I was at a friend's party she's like oh just crash here you know be safe don't drive home we'll know, in my early drinking days, I was at a friend's party. She's like, oh, just crash here, you know, be safe, don't drive home. We'll just share my bed, that's fine. But I was so, I guess, unable to wake up because, you know, too many drinks. Yeah. That sometimes throughout the night I had, what's the bed? A little whoopsie.

Yeah. Just a little whoopsie and she's lying next to me. She wakes up the next day and she's like, hey. You ate the bed. A little whoopsie. Yeah. Just a little whoopsie, and she's lying next to me. She wakes up the next day, and she's like, hey. You wet the bed. Yeah, yeah. And unfortunately, it wasn't, you know, just between us two. The whole group was there and in front of it, and I just became Piss Pop.

Yeah. Because it has a double meaning, because it's the drinking. Oh, because you were pissed as well. Yes. Okay, well, anonymous. Oh, okay. Well, anonymous. What's your real name? Is it close to that or we just call you Pisspot from now on? Not at all.

That's not my name at all. Okay. Well, thank you, Pisspot. We appreciate the call. Natalia is here. Hi, Natalia. Hi. What was the bad nickname you got landed with?

Darwin. Darwin. Why Darwin? Well, back in the 70s, a cyclone went through a town called Darwin in Australia, completely destroyed the town. Yeah. And because I was a redhead with freckles and frizzy hair and I looked like a hot mess,

they reckon Cyclone Tracy went basically through my face and itched me up. Oh! They said that your face looked like it had been messed up like a cyclone that went through Darwin. Yeah, well, it actually neveled Darwin. A lot of people lost their lives and destroyed the whole town. So it was really, really bad. It'd be cool, but back in the day...

That's a horrific nickname. Did it stick? Yeah, my whole school, high school days, the whole lot. Yeah, wow. I thought you were going to say you were a cyclone on the piss. It was better than being called Freckleface and Dealer. Yeah, Freckleface. Actually, I won't go on with that one.

Okay, well, thank you, Darwin. We appreciate you calling in and sharing your nickname with us. Thank you. So this is the danger. My nickname was Genitals. My name is Jenna. Bree and Clint. Time to do a birthday banger.

It's my birthday. It's my birthday. Bree to do a birthday banger. It's my birthday. It's my birthday. Brie and Clint's birthday banger. We did your birthday banger when you were here earlier this year. We did. It was Complicated by Avril Lavigne. Oh, yeah, that's right. It was such a good one.

And you chose not to vote for your own birthday banger. I know, which is so unlike me. Yeah. Let's get some birthday bangers on for today. Joe is here. G'day, Joe. Yo, how's it going? Good. How are you, Joe? Yo, how's it going? Good.

How are you, Joe? Yeah, nothing, Chevy, mate. Any unfortunate nicknames for you growing up? Nah, but my workmate, his middle name's Leslie, and our boss actually was doing his contract and saw that his middle name was Leslie, and now it's just stuck with him. Oh, they just go by Leslie, but that's his middle name.

That's his middle name. His first name's Nathan. Oh, yeah, they just call him Leslie. I see what they're doing there. Okay, Joe, let's do your birthday banger. When were you born? 1st of August, 95. All right, Joe, you were 16 on the 1st of August, 2011,

and this was your number one song. Send me by the time and I'll know you. Oh, my God, your number one song. Oh my God, I hate this song. I hate this song so much. Do you really? You know when you just have a song that is just... Yeah. This is it for me. But why is this it?

I don't know what it is. It just irks me. Everything about it irks me. Oh, it's such a tune. Even Christina Aguilera irks me. It puts me in a good mood. But Joe likes it. You like it, don't you, Joe?

I am too. You're legally bound by your birthday banger. Okay, good. Good attitude, Joe. Better attitude than me. Let's go to Willow. Kia ora, Willow. Hi.

Hi, Willow. How's your Wednesday? It's been good, thank you. Nice. Well, let's try and make it better by figuring out what your birthday banger is. When's your birthday? 8th of February, 2001. Okay, Willow, you were 16 on the 8th of Feb, 2017, and this was Topping the Charts.

Migos. Bad and bougie. What do you reckon about Migos, Willow? Yeah, it's such a vibe. It is a vibe. Is it a birthday banger vibe? That's the question we've got to ask. Maddie's grimacing.

Maddie, do you know much Migos? No, and I'm thinking, is that my moves like Jagger? Could be, yeah. But you like it, right, Willow? Yeah, I do. Okay, good. Banger. Let's get one more birthday banger on for Cameron.

G'day, Cam. G'day. How are you going? How's your Wednesday? Yeah, it's pretty chill today. Nice. Pretty chill? Okay, give us your birthday.

Maddie will tell you what your birthday banger is. I was born on the 25th of March, 2000. All right, Cam. You were 16 on the 25th of March 2016, and this is your birthday banger. Banger. Justin Bieber, choreographed by Paris Goebel from New Zealand. Features the royal family in the dance, in the music video, doesn't it?

It does. What do you reckon, Cam? Do you like that as a birthday banger? Oh, I enjoy it very much. Yeah, me too. I like it so much I'm going to vote for it. Anything except moves like Jagger. It was going to be my pick as well.

You're going to vote the Biebs? I'm going to vote the Biebs. Thank God. No offence to Joe and his birthday banger. But Cam, you're the winner this afternoon. Congratulations. Woo! It's nice to catch up. It's good to're the winner this afternoon. Congratulations. It's nice to catch up.

It's good to have you here. Yeah. Absolutely. Because we spend about five weeks hanging out together every day. Yeah. And so not seeing you every day means there's stuff to catch up on. Totally.

Isn't that always a good thing? It's great. You have something to talk about when you see people that you don't see that often. Totally. Okay, so what's the goss? Well, as you know, I'm getting married at the end of the year.

Yes. And wedding planning is in full swing. Yep. Which is exciting slash stressful. We've just had to finalise our guest list. Ooh. How did that go? Tough decision?

Tough. Did I make the cut? You were on our C list, but we've bumped you up. No, I'm kidding. No, you were on the list. You've made it. I am B. You've made it. I am B'm kidding no you're on the list you've made it i am b you've i am b at b you've made the list um but now what we're thinking about is everything else that goes

around a wedding and one of the big things of course is a stag do oh yeah of course arguably arguably the best part of the wedding could be be. Depends on, yeah. I mean, that's disrespectful to the day, but stag do's. So much fun. Totally. So what is your stag do looking like? Well, this is the thing, because it's quite different. Of course, there's two guys. Yes, two stags.

Two stags. Yeah. So do we have separate stag do's? But then we're at an age where so many of our friends are intertwined. So, you know, someone that I wanted at mine, Ryan would also want at his But then it feels kind of weird to just do a big party together Because that's kind of the wedding anyway Yeah, exactly right

So what do we do? How do we make it a little bit different? We have come up with what I think could be a fantastic idea Or it's a terrible idea, so I want to gauge your reaction to this. Hit me. I've planned a few stag do's, so lay it on me. Let me know what you're thinking. Because this is the other thing as well.

It'll be a mix of guys and girls. So, yeah, it's not traditional in that sense. No. But what we're thinking is we gather everyone together that we want to add our stag do's. Yeah. And we meet at a bar or something like that and then what happens

is a good old fashioned schoolyard pick. So you choose who you want. So we go one for one and I go, I want Clint. Yeah. Ryan goes, I want this person. So we go back and forth. Oh my God.

So Lucy, my wife and I could show up and you could pick me and Ryan could take Lucy and we could go on separate stag days. Exactly. Oh, wow. Okay. And then we come back together at the end. Yeah. But is that too harsh? Because someone's going to be left last.

So that is always the issue, that somebody is last. And as someone who was regularly picked last at school. Well, it calls into question your partying prowess, doesn't it? Because you're not getting picked on sporting ability this time, which was the issue with school. Totally. You weren't good at sports, you were picked last. Or you weren't popular, you got picked last.

But this one, what's the criteria for a good stag doer TV? Yeah, I guess it's who do you want to have a rager with. You need someone who runs the music. you need someone who brings the energy you need someone who um you need but you need a good organizer like someone that's going to get you from a to b i really like this idea i think it's great because everybody comes back together in the end so and then you go off and you have your separate stag dos and separate activities and then come back together. But what happens, how would you feel about being the last person picked at our stag do?

I know I wouldn't be picked last. I'm quite well aware of my reputation when it comes to partying. I'm pretty sure I'll be picked first. That's a big call. play ZM's Brand Clint on Insta, Facebook, TikTok and live weekdays from 3 on ZM feed by KFC get the full menu delivered to your door
