Hey everybody, welcome to the Bree and Clint podcast, the morning edition number two.
Yay! I feel a lot better today because I went to bed at 8.45.
I said to you how good and you said not good.
I'm a night person. I love being a night owl and you're just lurking around in the night.
Yeah, but how good is it waking up in the morning and not being tired?
That's the thing.
Yeah, but that's why I usually wake up at eight.
Oh, yeah.
Well, it all balances out, doesn't it?
Yeah.
What time?
Yeah.
Did everybody have this book growing up?
I know Ben had it and I know that my daughter Tui is currently reading it.
Did everybody have the book The Little Digger?
The Little Yellow Digger?
Nah.
You had it, Ben?
Did you have The Little Digger, Anastasia?
Yeah.
I'm not sure if I had it personally, but I remember it being read.
Do you know the book, Bree?
The Little Yellow Digger?
I haven't heard of it.
It was digging out a drain?
Nah.
Nah?
Never heard of that book.
This one here?
Maybe my brother had it.
Well, you won't be so upset by this.
The lady who wrote the book has just died at age 97.
That book is so iconic
That her death
Someone who wrote a kids book
That long ago
Made the news
On the radio station today
97 years old
Good innings from her
What was her name?
Give her a shout out
Betty Gilbert
I believe
Oh cute
Betty Gilbertale
There you go
It's about a digger
And then it tips over
So they get in a digger to get out that digger
but that digger gets stuck.
So they get in a bigger digger
to get out that digger. Sounds like my childhood.
We had a bush basher car when we were younger
when I would have been about 11
and our next door neighbour came
over to drive it. It was like a 1970
something Toyota
Corolla. Anyway she came over to
drive it. Turns out she didn't know how to drive, she came over to drive it.
Turns out she didn't know how to drive, and she drove it into a ditch.
Oh, my God.
This is the little yellow digger.
Guess what color the car was.
Yellow?
No bullshit.
It was yellow.
So what did you get to get it out of the ditch?
Oh, my God.
This is literally the same story. So then she's crashed it into the ditch, and then we all freaked out,
and we didn't want to tell my mom or my dad.
So we decided decided which is weird
because that's what that car was for not not to crash it was for panic bashing we were not meant
to crash it like it was not a great situation like anyway so the first thing we got was you
guys are going to think this is so funny we got two motorbikes uh One wasn't very big and the other one wasn't very big.
They were old.
Didn't work.
We then got, what else did we get?
We got, oh, we got two horses.
And you'd be surprised, worked better than the motorbikes.
But then we combined the two.
Were they horses for that reason?
Were they Clydesdales?
No.
They were like little ponies.
Right, yeah.
Anyway.
The horse was like, yo, what the fuck, man?
So then that didn't work.
I can't move.
That didn't work.
So then we put different pieces of wood and boards underneath the tyres
to give it some traction.
And then we eventually got it out.
We actually got it out of the ditch with horses and the motorbikes
and maybe a ride on lawnmower.
It was ridiculous.
So it's not quite the story of the little digger
because in the little digger, do you know who the hero is?
The little digger.
The little digger ends up.
We didn't have a little digger.
When the rain stops, the little digger pulls out the bigger digger
and then together they pull out the bigger, bigger digger
that had ropes and a chain.
Was the big digger's axle bent and you couldn't drive it anymore?
Because that's what happened to the Corolla.
Nah, it was sweet.
We all celebrated.
It was like the best moment ever.
It took about two and a half hours to get this thing out.
And then we tried to drive it and it would only turn left.
So then we had to tell my mum anyway.
Yeah, right.
It was a bit of a disaster.
Shout out to Sandra Nicoletti.
You know who you are.
You crashed the Corolla.
You owe us a 1972 Toyota Corolla.
I think it was dope, even though it had holes all through the radiator,
so you'd have to put water in it every time you drove it.
Sounds like a good car, man.
Mate, it was a push-pasha.
Sounds like my brother's car, which he uses for the road.
Oh, shit.
Yeah, no, this thing ain't getting a wharf, I'll tell you that.
I can't believe none of you have complimented me
on my Scouser tracksuit today.
No.
Yeah, we all did.
Brie, when you walked in, I said I like your new hoodie jacket.
I know, I thought I'd get a bigger reaction.
I noticed you're wearing trackies to work.
Yeah.
I think it's because it's not matchy-matchy.
You've put that set together, haven't you?
Yeah, I know, but it's kind of matchy because that's Adidas, this is Adidas. Yeah, but you don's because it's not matchy matchy. You've put that set together haven't you? Yeah I know
but it's kind of matchy
because that's Adidas
this is Adidas.
Yeah but you don't have
the three stripes on that one.
What do you mean?
The jacket's not three stripes.
What I was going to say
is I have those exact track pants.
Yeah I want to get some more.
If you want to do
a track pant day
while we're doing breakfast
I can bring those.
I love those.
And I've got a spare pair
that Ben could wear
and then we could
all three of us
And then Anastasia
Have you got any
Eddie Dash track pants
Sorry only P Nation
Jeez
Bring on the fun
Matching tracksuit pants
Alright give fuck then
You wear your own
Track pants by yourself
I'm keen
I'm keen
Track pants Thursdays
No I don't want to do it anymore
Alright
I'll see you on Thursday
Yeah we'll do it
I'll probably be wearing Track suit pants for the next two weeks.
Ben, you still down for Nuts Out November?
Yeah.
Yeah, cool.
That is so young.
And my clash with my Movember, but that's fine.
Hey, Anastasia, are you still keen for the Flaps Out Friday?
Oh, I thought you said February.
That would have been great.
No, Friday's closer.
Yeah, Friday's way closer.
Seems more regular.
Did you get those arseless chaps I sent you?
Free the fanny Fridays.
Because you're going to have to wear those arseless chaps.
Because don't wear those on fanny out Friday.
Here's a question.
How dare you?
Why do they call them arseless chaps when technically all chaps are arseless?
I've wondered the same thing.
Why?
Yeah.
Show me a pair of fucking arsed chaps.
Yeah, where are the arse chaps?
Those are just pants.
Yeah.
Those are just crotchless pants.
I thought it was like arseless, like there's no material for the arse.
That's what chaps are.
Yeah, chaps.
Chaps are just leg covers with a belt at the top.
Just to protect your legs.
How weird are chaps as a concept?
Because you're saying essentially this item of clothing,
protect everything below the waist except my butthole and my genitals.
Everything.
Everything, but not those things.
Maybe they did it for accessibility if you need to go to the toilet.
How hard is it to just...
You guys wouldn't even ever understand
what it's like to wear a jumpsuit or a playsuit
or anything like that out somewhere.
You guys would never have had that experience.
Oh, my God, my mind's blown.
We'd be sitting there awkwardly naked in the toilet.
Yeah, especially playsuits where you don't wear a bra sometimes
and you're literally full naked in the portal loo.
I went to R&B with a girlfriend one time
and she had a play suit that she was wearing
and that's when I realised, I was like,
do you have to take that off when you go to the port-a-loo?
She's like, yes, I sit there naked in the port-a-loo.
Oh, is this the sex in the port-a-loo story?
Nah, but nah.
Nah, I've never done it in a port-a-loo.
And I was like, well, that's hot.
And she goes, it's not hot.
I'm in a plastic box Of other people's excrement
And I'm nude
I'm like, oh, right, well
Yeah, it's quite possibly one of the worst
Scenarios for a female to be in
I've worn a jumpsuit to like a
Fancy dinner and stuff
You know like the real fancy full length jumpsuits
And stuff, and then when you're
Out, and you're like Have to take that length jumpsuits and stuff and then when you're out
and you're like have to take that whole thing off it's a nightmare yeah and also very cold in winter
yeah because a jumpsuit like a full jumpsuit is normally like the it's weird because you wear it
in winter as like a formal way to be a little bit warmer yeah but then it ends up being cold
because you have to get naked in the toilet. What colour was the jumpsuit that you were wearing?
Why?
Well, just curious.
What colour was it?
It was white.
It wasn't red?
Oh, did that joke not hit? This is Red Jumpsuit Aborados.
Oh, that was a tough sell, I think.
Did anyone get it?
Is this Plink 182? This is Clink 182.
This is Red Jumpsuit Apparatus.
By who?
What do you mean by who?
That's the band.
I know the song, but they're not big enough to understand that joke straight away.
I think that was cool.
It's called Face Down.
Great song.
Don't know who to bet.
Couldn't tell you what it is.
Oh, this is exciting.
Then I can introduce you to the Red Jumpsuit Apparatus
This band have to get naked
Every time they go to the toilet
Did you guys ever get
The band here
The Kite String Tangle
Yeah
Did you get them
Yeah
They're a bit hipster
See if there's any songs
From the Kite String
Yeah they were a bit hipster
They used to play them on
The dance music station
I was on
Did they
I think so
Their songs are quite slow.
Are they?
Like really quite slow and haunting.
That's what I'd describe them as.
Oh, yeah, this has got big George FM vibes.
Maybe this is a remix.
No, this is an original.
It's called The Prize.
Is this not your favourite kite string tango song?
No.
Yeah, this is more the vibe
That I was thinking of
That I thought of then
This is Arcadia
By the Kite String Tangle
Yeah
Haunting
Yeah it's a vibe
The record label
Aren't going to sue us
For playing this eh Ben
Because no one knows it
Are they under a label?
They'll be like
Hey thanks for giving
Kite String Tangle
Some exposure
This is sick
Listen wait Hey, thanks for giving Kite String Tangle some exposure. This is sick. Listen, wait.
Hey, give them a listen.
They're from Brisbane, I'm pretty sure.
You know what the record label will be coming at us for?
Red Jumpsuit Apparatus.
They'll be like, those guys are adding too much value to your podcast.
You owe the Red Jumpsuit Apparatus some royalties.
I did.
I'm starting a band called Arseless Chaps.
Apparatus.
Enjoy the podcast, everybody.
See you guys tomorrow. Hey, girl, you know you drive me crazy.
One more, put some rhythm in my hands.
No matter how much time you hang around, I see what's going down.
Play ZM's Bree and Clint.
Subbing in for Flesh, Vaughn and Megan.
Morning, everybody.
Welcome to the show.
It's Bree and Clint filling in for Flesh, Vaughn and Megan.
Well, there is a big debate going down here in the studio this morning.
Bree's not happy with her morning cuppa.
No, well, I just want to get to the bottom of things.
I always like to investigate.
Remember that time I said that I'm sure the deodorant that I've used
for the last 10 years.
Oh, Sexy Bouquet.
Sexy Bouquet.
Rixona Sexy Bouquet.
Had changed something about the recipe and it smelt different.
And I was willing to get to the bottom of it and we did.
Turns out I was right.
What was the resolution there?
Did you get the Rixona Corporation to change the sexy bouquet recipe back?
Have Unilever bent to your command and changed how they make their aerosol cans?
I think I just got used to the new one.
That's right.
Yeah.
But we're talking about Milo.
Now, the Milo thing is, because there was a huge backlash when they changed Milo to make it healthy.
And then I swear they changed it back. They went, you know what? You guys are right changed Milo to make it healthy. And then I swear they changed it back.
They went, you know what?
You guys are right.
Milo is what it is.
Because it was an ad where they've gone and they go.
We've changed it back.
Remember the time Shapes changed their recipe and then they went back?
But the thing is.
This is people power in action, by the way.
Yeah, I know.
How good.
It actually does work sometimes.
I swear.
Did you know there's completely different recipes for Australian Milo and New Zealand Milo?
Still.
I think still there's different recipes.
It's hard to know because the articles are so out of date.
I know.
I think you might be drinking new recipe Milo.
I'm telling you.
So Milo in New Zealand went old recipe, new recipe, then back to old recipe.
But I think your old recipe, this is what I'm saying, is different to the Aussie one.
Right.
Right, okay.
That's what I'm saying.
How can there be so many recipes for Milo?
This article, you tell me if this is correct.
This article says people in New Zealand tend to drink Milo hot, whereas in Australia they tend to drink it cold.
Yeah, because Australia's hot
and New Zealand's cold.
Do you reckon that's true?
I don't know.
Do you have more hot Milo
than cold Milo?
I've got to be honest with you.
I probably have zero Milo.
You don't.
But that's because
I'm really tired
and I need coffee.
Not cool, man.
Who doesn't drink Milo?
That's un-kept.
Okay, here's what it is.
When I'm hungry
I drink cold Milo and when I want a comforting drink I have a drink Milo? That's un-kept. Okay, here's what it is. When I'm hungry, I drink cold Milo.
And when I want a comforting drink, I have a hot Milo.
How do you make your hot Milo?
Milo in.
Nah, I don't make it the bougie way.
No, how do you make it?
Two scoops of Milo in, boiling water to three quarters,
and then cool it down with milk.
You're a monster.
An absolute monster.
It's because I was from a family of four kids and mum was like,
don't waste the milk.
Oh, yeah, would waste a lot of milk.
Anyway, to wrap this whole thing up, if you know,
is the Aussie Milo the exact same as the New Zealand Milo?
Old recipe.
Right now.
Old recipe.
Yeah, the right now.
Old recipe, the recipe they brought back.
Because I smell a rat.
I don't think so.
Okay, and where do you get the best Milo in New Zealand?
Yeah, who makes the best drop?
What cafes, what fancy Ponsonby Road cafes sell the best Milo?
Oh, that's a thing.
They should start doing that.
Imagine if you were known for how good your Milo was.
Yeah, it'd be great.

It is 49.
Well done, Isaac.
We got 50 bucks cash for you.
Congratulations.
Thank you, Steve.
Enjoy your day on the site.
Bree and Clint.
Bree thinks I'm a monster because I don't know the difference
between Shape's original recipe and Shape's new recipe.
No, you said, don't really eat Shapes, don't really drink Milo.
And I'm like, are you actually a Kiwi?
I just, I don't.
You're masquerading.
You're not even a Kiwi.
I just, I don't know.
It's never been something I'd put in the shopping trolley.
Next thing you'll tell us is you hate pavlova.
Oh, no, I bloody love a pavlova.
And you don't like a meat pie.
I love meat pie.
Love meat pie.
Well, how do we know?
It's in my 2021 list of things to achieve.
Eat more shapes and drink more Milo.
No, make a pavlova.
I want to attempt to make a pavlova.
You've never made a pavlova?
No.
No, aren't they really hard to make?
Nah, you just get one of those pavlova eggs.
Pavlova eggs?
Yeah, it's like this little egg thing, magic egg thing,
and it's got all the stuff in there and it helps you make it.
Really?
Yeah.
Like a mix?
Yeah.
You can get it at the shop.
But there's a thing, right?
You're not allowed to open the oven door too early or your pavlova goes,
and it folds in on itself.
Yeah, it's all six in the middle.
Right, okay, well.
A bit like, you know, other areas of your life.
You don't want a flaccid pavlova
Yeah, you've got experience
Yeah, you don't want to
Anyway, look, hey, I've got a question for you
And it's about your dog, Whitney Houston
Yes
For those who don't know
Bree has a very small, canned terrier
Called Whitney Houston
She's, what, eight, nine months old?
No, she's nearly one
Oh, wow
What's she getting for her birthday?
Nothing Nothing? No, we's nearly one. Oh, wow. What's she getting for her birthday? Nothing.
Nothing?
No, we might get her a dog cupcake.
A dog cupcake?
Yeah.
I'll make her a pavlova.
Okay.
We were around at your house the other day,
and I noticed something weird about...
Is it about the diet?
It's something about the diet of the dog.
The diet?
What is the treat that you're currently giving Whitney Houston the dog?
We're sitting at your dinner table
And Whitney's sort of barking around a little bit
And you go
Hey Whitney, do you want a
Treat
Yes
And you offered her a
Dried liver treat
No, not a dried liver treat
Oh, the bull's penis
Bull's penis
Very popular The bull's penis. Bull's penis.
Very popular, the bull's penis.
Are you feeding your dog bull penises?
Yeah, they call them bully sticks.
Really?
To try and hide the fact that they're bull's penises,
but that's what they are.
And does it look like a... Because I didn't see you give the dog the treat.
Does it look like a...
It looks like a really...
Like they're really long.
Yeah.
Which checks out if you've ever seen a bull.
And they're kind of real shriveled because they've been dried.
Is it cold?
The bull's cold?
Well, I think so.
I'm pretty sure that's what it is.
Like every time I go to get them, they're like, just so you know, this is a bull penis.
Really?
And I'm like, yeah, I know.
She loves them.
Where do you get a bag of bull dicks from?
Anywhere.
Any pet shop has them.
Really?
Yeah. They're like a super popular dog treat.
And Whitney, my dog, loves to chow down on some bull's penis.
Yeah.
I mean, look, it's very efficient as far as nose to tail consumption of...
They don't waste anything.
No, they don't waste anything.
And dogs don't know that they're...
Or do they know that...
Or do they know?
Yeah, it's her favourite.
Do you think she knows?
Yeah.
Really?
Probably. She likes it better than? Yeah. Really? Probably.
She likes it better than other things.
Really?
Let me just say that.
It's just a normal thing to do, just to chuck your dog a bull's penis.
Really?
My dog, bit of a floozy.
Do they look in any way appetising to you as a person?
You know, they...
Because I know you love jerky and I know you love biltong.
Who would have said that?
I haven't seen them though.
Do they look like something...
They look not appetising whatsoever.
And don't even ask about the smell.
Right.
It's horrific.
Because we've got one here for you to try this morning.
No, it's not.
No, you...
Imagine that video. I would gag. No, it's not. No, you don't. Imagine that video.
I would gag.
Radio announcer eats bull penis.
If you haven't listened to our show before,
we've got two amazing producers who we love,
producer Anastasia and producer Ben.
Just before I tell you about this.
We call them producer A and B.
It's not rude.
It's their initials.
We do not. We do. We've Producer A and B. It's not rude. It's their initials. We do not.
We do.
We got A and B.
We do not.
Oddly, Producer Ben is Producer A and Producer Anastasia is Producer B.
Shut up, you loser.
Before I talk to you about this story, I just want to clarify something.
Producer Ben, what did you do yesterday?
Where did you have a nap?
We said you had a nap.
I went for an MRI scan and I had a small nap whilst in the scan.
Okay.
In the machine.
Just wanted to cover that off before I tell you about this next thing
because there's an article that's come out talking about what people
have done for science in MRI machines.
Oh.
And now I'm thinking nap is code for something.
I've heard about this.
I've heard about people doing this.
Because they get, with that, they can get really intimate 3D images
of what goes on internally, if we can be delicate.
It's the most accurate pictures of, yeah,
internally what's going on in the body that doctors can get.
Short of strapping a GoPro to the end of your thing,
it's the only way we're going to see what happens inside there.
Well, that's not fun for anyone.
Anyway, this talks about how back in 1991,
a Dutch scientist, which I mean, producer Anastasia is Dutch.
It's in her DNA.
Apparently wanted to see what went on inside our bodies whilst indoor gardening.
Yes.
That activity that you do with someone else.
Indoor gardening.
Is code.
Obviously code for activities you do indoors.
Yeah.
So apparently they enlisted some help
and they got quite a few different people to go through with this experiment.
What, all at once?
No, no, two people at once.
Have you ever had an MRI?
Oh, kinky scientists.
Couldn't you have just got two people?
No, I've never had an MRI, but it's quite a tight tunnel, isn't it?
A tight tunnel is like an understatement.
Excuse the metaphor.
It's like very claustrophobic in there.
Anyway, so they've done this quite a number of times. is like an understatement. Excuse the metaphor. It's like very claustrophobic in there.
Anyway, so they've done this quite a number of times and apparently recently they've been doing it as early as yesterday.
So, Producer Ben, just wondering,
were you one of these people in this experiment?
I was in there for like an hour so way too long.
Story doesn't check out.
It's definitely not here.
Brian Clint
from iHeartRadio
This is
The Latest
Lord has spoken
about how she's
left social media
and when I say
left social media
we've been talking
about this this morning.
She's definitely got
some social media, right?
Absolutely.
There's definitely
some background accounts.
Like how Meghan Markle had.
Yeah, Meghan Markle had a burner account.
Yeah, because she had to delete her original account.
Can you imagine being told you have to delete all your social media?
I'd be like, but I've got too much SponCon to put up.
Lorde has spoken to Ash London, who does an Australian radio show,
and she said that being off social media is a divine experience.
Have a listen.
I mean, I really enjoy it.
I guess just the nature of my job makes social media an intense experience,
but also I'm a very sort of shy, sensitive person,
and it's just a lot of information, you know.
I was just pummeling myself with headlines and thoughts from other people all day
and it didn't give me much room to have ideas or really brainstorm things, you know.
So I'm very grateful for it.
If she'd stayed on social media,
she never would have come up with the idea to smoke weed out of a fennel bulb.
Exactly.
I also read that she talked about the hardest thing about being off social media
and she said that it's keeping
up with her friends' lives.
She said it's so much
more difficult when you're not on social media
because you can follow and
keep up to date with what your friends
are doing from social media. Really hard
to stalk your ex too when you shut down all your
social media. You literally have to sit outside
their house. Hence the burner account.
That is the latest.
Thanks to liquid
self-service laundromats
you can wash and dry
duvets for eight bucks
in under an hour.
If you want all the details
on Lorde's New Zealand tour,
by the way,
the Solar Power tour,
they're all up now
at ZM Online.
And here is Lorde.
This is Solar Power.
Bree and Clint
filling in for
Fletch, Warner, Megan, ZM.
I hate the winter. Bree and Clint. You're a gamer. This is Solar Power. Bree and Clint filling in for Fletch, Warner, Megan, ZM. I hate the winter.
Bree and Clint.
You're a gamer.
I am a gamer.
Are you still gaming?
I'm gaming on the...
You got the Nintendo Twitch still set up?
The Nintendo Switch is my choice of console.
Yeah.
What about you?
Twitch is where you stream your gaming at.
Are you still Blu-raying your stuff on a PS3?
No, I told you my PS3 broke.
Did you even ever play the PS3 or you literally just watch Blu-raying your stuff on a PS3? No, I told you my PS3 broke. Did you even ever
play the PS3 or you literally
just watch Blu-rays on it? No, it
came with a free copy of
Red Dead Redemption. I wasn't asking
if it came with a game. I was asking, did you
actually ever game on it? I did.
I find gaming frustrating because I don't
know where to go and
I rode the horse around for a bit
but I couldn't achieve anything and the other
issue I have with gaming you know how you've got the two joysticks and one of them makes you go
forward and one of them makes you turn oh it's because you don't know left and right well that's
part of it too I end up I end up just I end up just looking at the sky and going around in circles
like this I can't get it I can't get the hang of it anyway Anyway, this is for the gamers out there. Last week, actually, a record was set for a secondhand game
when The Legend of Zelda, a copy of The Legend of Zelda.
Great game.
Iconic original Nintendo game.
I know old school games.
I know the old stuff, okay?
Name another one that's not Mario.
Oh, Sonic.
Yeah.
That was more Sega, but okay.
Yeah, but you know.
It sold for $1.2 million,
an unopened copy of The Legend of Zelda.
Wild.
For NES, the original Nintendo Entertainment System.
So that was a record, $1.2 million.
The record has been smashed because over the weekend,
a copy of Super Mario 64, which came out for Nintendo 64,
sold for $2.25 million.
For an unopened copy of the Super Mario Brothers game.
Wait, is this for which game?
Which console?
Nintendo 64.
You know, Nintendo 64,
I think I read an article last week.
It's like 25 years old.
They were cool, man.
They were really cool.
Our family could never Afford a Nintendo 64
I reckon you can
Afford one now
Ben can you go
And trade me quickly
And see how much
For a second hand
Nintendo 64
I bought an old
Gameboy a couple
Years ago
Best thing I ever did
Was it a good idea
It was
I played
And I bought
These things are fun
In theory but
And I bought the
Original Pokemon game
That I had back in the day
And I played it
For ages
Yeah Yeah it was great How do you do a screenshot On the original Gameboy So you had back in the day, and I played it for ages.
Yeah?
Yeah, it was great.
How do you do a screenshot on the original Game Boy so you can upload it to your Instagram?
I think you've got to press all the buttons all at the same time.
This Super Mario that sold for $2.25 million,
it was the first time Super Mario was in 3D.
It came out in 1996.
And the specific one that sold,
the cartridge was rated a 9.8 on the WOTA scale.
Oh, yep.
That's the scale they use to rate secondhand comic books
to tell you what condition they're in.
So a 9.8 out of 10 is pretty amazing.
You know why it's the WOTA scale?
Yeah.
Because they're like, oh, WOTA beauty.
That's why.
What am I doing with my life?
They got an A++ grading for the seal on the box as well.
So this thing is...
You always want a good seal on the box.
Ben, show us some Nintendo 64s.
What are we dealing with?
I think I just saw one for 50 bucks.
50 bucks?
Yeah, look.
Right there.
Nintendo 64 console.
No, click on that Pokemon one.
That blue Pokemon one with the yellow controller, Ben.
Oh, that one's sick.
How much for that?
Rare Pokemon thing. 500 bucks. Tell him he's dreaming. yellow controller, Ben. Oh, that one's sick. How much for that? Rare Pokemon thing.
500 bucks.
Tell him he's dreaming.
I mean, look, it's in pretty good nick.
Okay, go back to that $50 one.
The Pokemon fans will love it.
How much for the $50 one?
I mean, what condition is it?
How much for the $50?
It looks pretty good.
Yeah, that's fine about the pictures.
Ben, go to the bit that tells us if it's working or not.
Oh, yeah.
Because otherwise it's just a $50 paperweight.
Nintendo 64 tested and working.
Should we buy this?
Yes.
Should it be a shown Nintendo 64?
I'll chuck in $20.
My mum always said, we can't afford it.
Look at me now, mum.
Yeah.
Look at me now.
Spending my money on stupid stuff.
Get the console for $50 and then you'll save some money for the $2.25 million Super Mario game.
Oh, yeah, I'll get two.
Yeah, why not?
Anyway, if you've got any games at home,
have a look on the internet.
They might be worth a bit of money at the moment.
Probably not, though.
Heaps of Nintendo 64s for sale, by the way.
I've decided I'm starting a Twitch account.
Are you going to get Twitching? Yeah. You're going to get Twitching?
Yeah, I'm going to get Twitching.
Don't you have enough accounts?
No, someone on...
Your life must be exhausting.
You get home, you're like,
all right, I've updated my Facebook,
I've updated my Instagrams.
The thing that takes up the most time
is LinkedIn, to be honest.
I mean, it's just a punish updating that every day.
Your employee from Video Easy in 2003
wants to add you as a personal connection on LinkedIn.
I went to primary school at Possez State School.
Gareth Dunstan wants to endorse your skill set for merchandising.
What do you think the people are like that work at the LinkedIn office?
Have you ever thought about that?
The most fun people.
I reckon they'd be an absolute blast.
You know, I've got a friend who works at TikTok in the UK.
Is it fun?
The most.
It looks like the most fun.
The new Google.
I think so.
Remember how like Google was that?
Except it doesn't really matter.
Google, it feels like if you make a mistake,
you're going to ruin people's lives.
Like if you ruin Google Maps or if Google Drive goes down,
a doctor's not going to know how to do an operation or something.
But TikTok, it's like YOLO.
Yeah.
Just go for it.
I mean, Google was cool because they have their own supermarket
where you can get whatever free food for lunch you want.
So does Facebook.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That would sell me.
So my friend who works at TikTok, her boyfriend works for Facebook
and they have a supermarket.
Oh, my God.
They're the most bloody modern couple ever.
Right.
They have a supermarket at Facebook where you just go in
and take what you need at the end of the day.
Same at Google.
They don't charge you.
Yeah.
The idea is, the logic behind it is,
it's one less thing for you to have to worry about in your life
so you can focus more on your job.
Which I don't know if I like that.
No, I love it.
Bring on the free supermarket.
Oh no, came for the free supermarket.
Yeah, bring it on.
Actually, what else would you want?
Like what would be the best, what would be the best,
what would be the ultimate
perk for you?
Producer Anastasia's saying free eyebrow
treatments. I'd be
on board that. Free eyebrow
treatments. Set your sights a little bit higher.
Free flying car trips. How often
do you need your eyebrows treated?
Once a month. A lot.
Depends on the eyebrows, I guess.
Free gas.
Yeah, free petrol.
Any grudge purchase.
Now, a free chauffeur for everyone that works at the office.
Just free Uber.
Just free Uber.
Yeah, right.
I wonder if people at Uber get free Uber.
Free in Clint.
History was made yesterday, Clint.
The Euro, technically the 2020 final, was played yesterday.
Oh, was it postponed?
I'm pretty sure.
And it was England versus Italy.
And the English were positive that it was coming home.
It was the biggest thing since, I mean, 52 years, I'm pretty sure,
they hadn't made the final.
They haven't won crap in ages.
I think same for the Italians.
Prince William was there.
Kate was there. Kate was there.
George was there.
David Beckham was there.
The whole crew.
But unfortunately, the English team lost in a penalty shootout.
Yeah.
Someone who was stoked that the Italians won is my dad because he's Italian.
Proud Italian man.
Yep.
We put in a call to your dad.
This is two and a half minutes after the final penalty went in and Italy won the game.
Hello, Stephen speaking.
Goal!
Not bad.
Big Steve, the game finished two and a half minutes ago.
Just wanted to congratulate you, Dad.
I'm watching.
What are your feelings?
Can you sum it up?
Obviously, you're the Italian reference for us.
Sum it up for New Zealanders what this means for an Italian man.
Oh, look, this new coach has rebuilt this team from they were a pile of rubbish.
And now he's built this team into a team
that's going to last. This team is a good
team, I tell you. Hats off to the coach. He's
brilliant, this fella. Can you share your thoughts
on the English supporters
who had basically claimed a win in
this game before it even started, but could you
please give us your thoughts in Italian?
Inglesi
mangia marva. Sorry,
that's it, they're all finished, mate. You can't swear on national radio
It's only the Italians will know that
And they'll appreciate it
Did you and mum celebrate dad?
Yes we were
We're drinking the red wine
We're going for it
We love it
It's 7 o'clock in the morning there
Yeah I know but that's alright.
This is your hard starter, this one.
Crack another Peroni. It's not coming home,
it's going Rome. Big Steve,
Bree's Dad, our Italian correspondent,
congratulations on the big win.
Thank you very much. It's a great win for Italy.
And the last thing we'd like to say is go! Go!
After that, we checked in with him again two hours later.
Asleep.
Completely pissed out of his mind.
Yep.
Drunkards.
The billionaire big dick off race to space is on Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos and Sir Richard Branson trying to get up there first.
And Sir Richard Branson won.
He got to outer space first.
Yesterday in his Virgin Rocket.
Yes, that's what it's called.
Big Dick went to space.
Yeah.
That's a flying dick.
We have a problem.
Nothing screams compensation like building a rocket
and flying into outer space.
No, look, look.
They are doing it under the guise of advancing humanity
and pushing us forward and accelerating our path towards space tourism.
That's exactly why they're doing it.
Can we go into space without quarantine during COVID?
There's no COVID in space, so.
True.
What did the producers say this morning?
Who was it?
Which producer was, we were talking about this
and you guys were like, where did he go?
We were like, he just went up and came back down.
Anastasia.
Yeah.
Yeah.
She, he, he, he didn't,
did you expect him to land somewhere?
Is that what you thought he was going to do?
Yeah, I thought it was like a,
like a mission that might not end well.
Like I thought he was going to go to like the moon or something
and then just not come back.
Nah.
Richard Dick Branson went up,
then he came back down
and actually only a couple of minutes.
Yeah, if you go up in this and you spend your $350,000 to be a passenger.
That's wild.
You get 60 minutes in outer space.
Oh, well, better than some I've had.
In that 60 minutes, you are in zero gravity.
So you do get to float around.
You're kind of cool.
Sir Richard offered some insightful words of wisdom on his maiden voyage.
Oh, here we go.
What has he said?
Aboard the rocket. Here is his inspirational speech,
recorded yesterday aboard the Virgin rocket.
To all you kids down there,
I was once a child with a dream,
looking up to the stars.
Now I'm an adult in a spaceship
with lots of other wonderful adults
looking down to our beautiful, beautiful Earth.
To the next generation of dreamers,
if we can do this,
just imagine what you can do.
Yay!
Come on up!
And then some Karen in the background's like,
Well, get out there, Richard!
He sounded like he was hosting a kids' TV show.
A little bit.
You know?
Mm-hmm.
He also, if you watch the video, is strapped into a seat.
He looks terrified.
He does look very scared, yeah.
He's got his fishing sunglasses on,
and he's gripping onto his seat for dear life
while these other astronauts are floating around
having the best time of their life.
He's just, like, their life. He's just like
holding on. He's like, get me down, get me down, get me
down, get me down. Yeah. I just can't
relate to him. Like he's like, if I can
do this with a hundred
billion dollars in the bank, imagine
what you can do. Literally nothing
bro. Nothing. We can't even buy
houses. No, we can't literally buy
houses. Yeah. If I can achieve this
you can do probably, you know. Yeah. If I can achieve this, you can do
probably, you know.
You can work for me.
You can do your own washing most
days. We can't even afford to
go for a ride on your spaceship.
Let alone build our own spaceship. I mean, we can't
even fly to Australia at the moment.
I mean, that's a depressing take on it. Maybe you were
inspired or maybe you're more of a Bezos fan
and you're looking forward to his mission.
Who knows?
But there you go.
Humankind is back in space.
A piece of history.
That audio is going to be a piece of history now.
You know that.
That has now overtaken the one small step.
That is sad.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Bree and Clint.
Look, I do love a challenge
and I love to test our team against each other.
I'm probably one of the most competitive people I know.
Too competitive.
But look, I'm not competing today.
I'm taking myself out of this challenge.
I need, before we get into what the challenge is,
Clint and Producer Ben, are you guys willing
to compete against each other this morning?
Yeah, I'm ready.
Yeah, I'm ready.
You said there's breakfast up for grabs, so I'm ready.
So the breakfast up for grabs is whoever loses has to buy the team bacon and egg McMuffins.
Wait, the team?
Yeah.
Wait.
Hang on a minute.
Okay.
Well, that doesn't seem fair because the whole team's not involved in the challenge, but
fine, I'm ready.
The loser is buying breakfast. Yes. For everyone. Everyone. It's just push. Okay. Well, that doesn't seem fair because the whole team's not involved in the challenge, but fine, I'm ready. The loser is buying breakfast.
Yes.
For everyone.
It's just push, yeah, just us four.
Okay, yeah, cool.
Who's keen?
Shake on it.
It's four bacon and egg with muffins, actually.
Don't worry about it.
All right, shake it.
I am hungry.
All right, excellent.
Start the dramatic music.
Because the challenge this morning, lads, I don't know if you saw this last week,
but I travelled to Queenstown. Because the challenge this morning, lads, I don't know if you saw this last week,
but I travelled to Queenstown.
Wanaka had a great trip.
And I passed through a beautiful little town.
Arrowtown.
Arrowtown.
And I stopped at the lolly shop.
And I purchased what they call their mega sour lolly bombs.
Producer Anastasia and I aren't competing this morning Because we've already taken the challenge
So we know how bad it is
Yeah, okay
You boys will compete this morning
I've just got to get the lollies
They're in my bag
Okay
I've seen these
Yeah, they don't look good
Anastasia, you did it
How hard are we talking?
On a one to ten, how sour are these things?
They're pretty sour
I was the only person in the group that
managed to suck the whole thing.
Your
parents must be so proud.
Yeah, you were. I was
proud. Everyone else in the
group, they've done it. You've done it.
You've done it. Alright, guys.
The Mega Sour
Watermelon. Please take a lolly.
And what do you guys... From the Remarkable Sweet Shop in Arrowtown.
Yeah, shout out.
A famous, famous store.
What you guys are about to experience is what they're calling
their most sour candy they have in the whole shop.
How do we win?
Yeah, what's the...
So how do you win?
Whoever takes out the lolly first...
Takes out.
...loses.
Right. So whoever holds the lolly in their Takes out?...loses. Right.
So whoever holds the lolly in their mouth the longest wins.
Bon appetit.
Can we go for this?
Yes, mate.
All right, here we go.
Three, two, one.
Eating the lollies now.
Put it in your mouth.
All right.
Both of the lollies are in.
I'm going to fight them.
Ah!
My idea is just to get the sour off it. Clint's already really struggling.
Suckling up makes it worse.
Yeah, that's a good option, Ben.
So then it's smoother.
Producer Ben looks stronger at the moment, I'm going to admit.
Nothing's hit me yet.
Clint looks like he's got a very defined jawline.
How is it, Clint?
It's quite watermelon-y.
You can't just hold it.
You have to suck it, Clint.
Should I bite it?
I think, Producer Ben...
Oh, yuck.
The lollies in there,
I had to get some saliva out
or I can't pour.
You know what?
I'm going to make an executive decision.
I believe
Clint has disqualified himself by spitting out.
I just had to get a saliva out because I couldn't talk.
I'm calling game over.
Producer Ben, you are the winner.
Oh, man.
Thank you.
Look at him.
He's not even faced.
I've got to shower off real quick.
How bad was it?
It's so much.
It's pretty full on, eh? It's a good challenge, though. If you got to shower off it real quick. How bad was it? It's so much. It's pretty
full on, eh? It's a good challenge
though. If you want to try this, there's a website down
here. I imagine you can buy it off their website.
Shout out to RemarkableSweetShop.co.nz
So many
people messaged me on Instagram
and they were like, where do I get these lollies?
I want to test my friends. There you go.
The boys have been put to the test.
I'll have
a bacon and egg McMuffin. Bacon to the test. I'll have sausage.
A bacon and egg McMuffin.
Bacon and egg, please.
I don't want one.
I think I've burned all my taste buds off.
Genuinely.
I want to talk about a wedding drama that I've been reading about online.
What?
There's no drama that happens around weddings.
Right.
Stress-free.
Stress-free.
Easy.
No controversy. No emotion brought into it.
Clear heads.
It is a very heightened day in a lot of ways.
Heightened is the right word for it.
And it's heightened for you as a couple.
And what you find is it can become heightened for your friends and family around you as well.
And a lot of real emotions get brought to the fore.
Don't get me wrong.
You're going to have a wonderful day.
It's a happy occasion. But some stuff can get brought to the fore. Don't get me wrong. You're going to have a wonderful day. It's a happy occasion.
But some stuff can go down along the way.
This woman has taken to Reddit to talk about her partner's groomsman.
Okay.
Her partner's groomsman.
I'm going to read you what she said.
And you can tell me what you think.
Just what you think is fair.
She wrote,
My fiancé's best man, for this we'll call him liam
recently told my fiance that he hates me oh yeah liam hasn't said much about why he doesn't like me
other than i'm supposedly holding a grudge against him and i treat him like crap and i don't talk to
him for me personally i have loved this guy i thought he was a great best friend to my fiance.
We've all been on trips together. He was excited to see us get married. He even posted on his
social media congratulating the two of us. So it came as a shock to me and my fiance to find out
that Liam can't stand me. Liam told my fiance that he would still come to the wedding if that's what my
fiance wanted but he made it very
clear that he would only
be there for him and not
for us. That's not the spirit
of the day. I wonder what's gone
down. Something has
to have happened. She's also added
not to mention our wedding is a month away
what do I do
I'm not sure I want him there because no matter what,
I still have love for him,
but I don't want to make him feel awkward
and make him do something he doesn't care about.
Forget his feelings.
It's your wedding.
It's your wedding.
I find it, why would the husband or the soon-to-be husband,
how did she find out?
Why would he tell her?
Yeah.
What good can come of that?
So he has confided in his friend and said, I hate your wife.
I hate your fiance.
So he said to his mate, bro, I've got to be honest with you.
I know, but how did she find out?
Oh, her fiance has shared it.
Yeah, why?
Why would he share that?
I think he's done the right thing because I think he's trying to be open and honest with her
because when it comes to your wedding,
you don't want anybody there at your wedding
who's not there to champion you as a couple.
Unless the husband was willing to be like,
I don't want this guy at my wedding.
I think he's trying to figure out with his partner
how to deal with that.
He shouldn't have told her if he's not willing to be like,
you know, because how awkward does it make it for her now? You've got to cut him. Also, let's do a
psychological deep dive into what's going on with this guy. I think the best man is in love with her.
I think the best man's in love with his friend. I think he's in love with the mate. Oh yeah,
and he hasn't come to terms with the feelings. And now the evil woman is stealing his mate away from him.
Nah, but see, he liked her at first.
Yeah.
I think they obviously liked each other at first
and now it's a classic love actually thing.
Yes.
You know where she thinks that he hates her
and then turns out he's actually in love with her.
That guy's a D-bag at the end of the film.
He is.
Like we're not on his side.
Like going and taking those cue cards.
Piss off. And it's a romantic
moment but he's trying to steal his best
mate's wife. Exactly.
She doesn't go for it eh? No she doesn't go for it.
She kisses him though. Someone posted
because this is on Reddit. Someone posted this is a
Love Actually situation.
And the woman went oh I must check
that out. So she hasn't seen Love Actually.
She's going to watch that
and realise that this is her life playing out.
It's her wedding day.
Well, ultimately the two people that matter the most are her and her groom-to-be.
Yes.
They're the two people and they need to decide what they want to do.
Yes.
If my best friend told me he hated my fiancé or my wife
and they didn't have good reason, like she hadn't done something,
then that would probably end my friendship. I'd go, well, she's really important to me. my fiance or my wife and they didn't have good reason, like she hadn't done something,
then that would be in my friendship.
I'd go, well, she's really important to me.
Unless they had a good reason or unless they were willing to talk about it
and try and resolve it.
This is the last thing you want
is drama going down in the bridal party.
They're meant to be there to support you.
They're meant to be your rock, your foundation
and your party crew on the day. You don't want
this kind of drama and yet it happens
all the time.
I'd love to talk to people this morning.
Who've hooked up with people in the bridal party.
Yep, I'd love to take calls
on that. Maybe. Can we talk about drama that
went down in the bridal party?
Could be to do with people hooking up with the bridal
party. Yeah, bridesmaids and groomsmen hooking up with each other,
cheating on their partners.
What went down?
Having too much to say, saying that your dress is ugly,
getting too pissed at the wedding and making a scene.
The groomsman sleeping with the bride.
Or the mother of the bride.
What have you got?
Let's talk about drama in the bridal party
this morning.
You can call us
on 0800 dial ZM
or you can text us
on 9696.
We'll get you.
Brian Clint.
ZM.
Like a relief teacher
that has no idea
what's going on.
It's ZM's Brian Clint.
That's us filling in
for the guys
for the next couple of weeks.
We're talking about
groomsmen
and bridesmaids drama in the wedding
party. It's meant to be your big day, but they're
busy causing a riot.
You know, there's alcohol
flowing, the emotions
are high, and a lot of people on the text machine
weighing in on this. Someone said
on 9696, it wasn't
me, but my best mate rode with
the bride on the way to the wedding.
He was the best man of my other two friends that got married at 18. Anyway, she kissed What kind of psychopath leaves it to the car ride to the church?
Haven't you seen Runaway Bride?
This is why 18-year-olds shouldn't get married.
Well, this and a bunch of other reasons for that.
What do you do if you're the other person?
The one being kissed?
Yeah, and then you have to go to the wedding.
Yeah, because you have to tell your partner.
Then you have to watch.
Oh, my God.
Do you tell them before the ceremony?
When?
Yeah, when.
You're literally going to walk up the aisle.
Yeah.
You get there and you're like, hey, can I talk to you outside for a minute?
You're not going to believe this.
Someone else said, my husband's best man ghosted us three months before our wedding,
and we haven't heard from him since.
He just cut all contact because he broke up with one of the bridesmaids.
Such a crap situation, but we still had the best wedding possible.
That guy's got some issues.
That's wild.
The best man.
Yeah, the best man. We want to know when drama went down in the best wedding possible. That guy's got some issues. That's wild. The best man. Yeah, the best man.
We want to know when drama went down in the bridal party.
Cameron's caught up.
The drama in your bridal party actually kind of ended up ending your marriage.
Is that fair to say?
No, it's actually my fiancée.
So my current fiancée now, her ex-husband,
decided it'd be a good idea to sleep with her sister on the wedding night.
No, Cameron.
Wait, wait, wait.
So your fiancé's ex
slept with her sister on the wedding
night? Yeah, but hey, it worked
in my favour because now I've got her.
I mean, yeah, absolutely, Cameron.
Oh,
on his wedding night
he slept with his bride's sister.
Oh, my God.
Clint, you're so confused.
I thought I, oh, my God.
He cheated on his wife with his wife's sister on the wedding night.
Cameron, two questions for you.
Your current fiancé, because obviously this happened to her,
obviously, you know, that didn't work out between her and him.
But what about her sister?
Have they resolved things now or are they, what's going on there?
Now that one's a tricky one.
I won't go too much into it, but let's just say there could be
a little one involved that's undisclosed at this time.
Oh, there's children in the mix.
So wait, so are they still together, the sister and the?
No, apparently it went on for a little bit children in the mix. Oh, my God. So were they still together, the sister and the... No.
Apparently, it went on for a little bit afterwards behind the scenes.
But, yeah, not sure for how long.
Do you reckon it was a drunken thing that happened on the wedding night?
Or do you think that...
No, because he said it went on for a while after.
Do you want to know the excuse?
But do you think it was going on before the wedding?
What was the excuse?
The excuse was, oh, I was drunk and she looked like you.
She wasn't wearing a wedding dress.
No.
Can you imagine?
I don't know if you could.
I know blood is thicker than water,
but I don't think you could make up with your family.
Imagine Prince William using that excuse to Kate and saying,
oh, Pippa, you guys kind of look the same.
You kind of look similar.
She did wear a white dress at least.
Oh, Cameron.
Well, I mean, you came out the winner and obviously she did
because you guys are happy now, right?
Yeah, yeah.
We've got a little one-and-a-half-year-old now.
Oh, amazing.
Congratulations, guys.
And you're engaged?
Yeah, we are.
It's set to be next year.
You know what not to do on the wedding night, right?
Well, most definitely.
Yeah, right.
A few texts coming through on this.
Someone said,
I was a bridesmaid for a wedding where I knew the groom was sleeping
with the other bridesmaid.
It was such a complicated situation where I wanted to tell the bride
everything but couldn't.
The affair did stop and
the affair did stop and they're still together.
That's the bit in the wedding where the
celebrant goes, if anybody present
has a reason why these two should not
be married, speak now. Why did they include that part?
For this reason. So you can go,
he's sleeping with a bridesmaid. Yeah, but they
shouldn't include that part because they shouldn't
be doing it during the ceremony.
Do it beforehand. There should be a barbecue the night before.
Brie and Clint.
All right, it's time to play a game to see how well you know movie quotes.
It's real simple.
We give you the movie and you just have to tell us what you think
Clint and I have picked as our favourite quote from that film.
Yeah, obviously they're going to be memorable,
but you can try and weave in and go,
what does Brie like the best out of that movie?
Or me, or you can just throw a dart at a dartboard blindfold
and hope for the best.
You only have to get one of these quotes correct.
So you've got four chances.
All you need is one, and if you do, you pick up 50 bucks.
Let's meet Roy.
Kia ora, Roy.
Good morning.
Hi, Roy.
Good morning.
How are you?
You a big movie buff, Roy?
Yeah, good morning. Hi, Roy. Good morning. How are you? You a big movie buff, Roy? Yeah, sort of.
But you've seen Finding Nemo and Batman the Dark Knight?
I have, yeah.
Okay, perfect.
That's all you need.
If Brie was to pick a quote from The Dark Knight,
what would it be?
Which Dark Knight movie?
Batman the Dark Knight, the first one, not The Dark Knight Returns or Dark Knight, the first one.
Not The Dark Knight Returns or Rises, the first one.
Oh, okay.
That's a good start.
He's checking us on details.
Jeez, you know your Batmans.
I hope my quote's right.
Sorry, I was thinking of the other movie.
I was thinking of Rises.
The Heath Ledger one, the Joker one.
Yeah.
Do you want to start with Nemo?
Is that going to be a bit easier for you?
Yeah, go with Nemo.
Okay, let's go with Nemo.
Nemo, what do you think?
Breeze fighting Nemo quote, what is that?
The classic one was, just keep swimming, just keep swimming.
It's a good pick.
Let's see.
We've pre-recorded ours earlier.
What I picked.
Mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine.
No, unfortunately.
Not right there.
Not on the board with that one.
You've got another shot, though.
What's my Nemo quotes?
The other one was,
I have shell, dude.
Oh, yeah.
I love that one.
Let's check it out.
These are all pre-recorded.
Fish are friends, not food,
except stinking dolphins.
Yeah, they think they're so cute.
Oh, look at me.
I'm a flippity little dolphin.
Damn it.
Nothing there in the Nemo movie.
Come on, Roy.
There's got to be something you know from the Heath Ledger,
Christian Bale, Batman movie.
I'm going to give you a hint.
What's the most memorable thing that Heath Ledger says from that film?
Why so serious?
Why so serious?
Are you locking that in?
Yeah, lock that one in.
Let's see if that's what Brie put down as her quotes.
Why so serious?
You got it, Roy.
We did it.
You got it.
We did it.
Nice work, Roy.
For a minute there, I was worried you hadn't even seen the movie,
but you did it, so you get $50 cash.
Congratulations, Roy.
Sweet.
Thanks very much.
Excellent work.
God, we threw him there
with Witch Dark Knight.
And I was like,
is there more than one?
The Dark Knight.
The Dark Knight.
The Heath Ledger one.
The Dark Knight.
Brie and Clint.
Okay, that's the movie
guessing game.
Brie and Clint.
Get ready to feel awkward
because I know I did
when I heard this story.
Last week,
we were on holidays
and I went on a bit of a friend's trip
down in Queenstown and Wanaka.
We were hanging out.
And one of the nights, I'm not going to mention the person's name.
Do I know them?
They said they didn't care.
Yes, you do know them.
Okay.
But they said, I just said, I just won't mention your name.
Is that?
Anyway, no.
Oh.
Anyway, one of the nights we were in Wanaka and we were all just, you know, having a few
drinks and getting a bit loose.
You know what it's like on holidays and we're just having a good time.
Oh yeah, I remember.
And good time.
And we started, one of the people that was on the trip is on Tinder and Bumble and we
were all just having a play around
and how much fun is it as a person in a relationship when there's a single person there
and they're willing to let you share in the the tinder so it was so much fun we've put it up on
the tv yeah we're all having a you know a bit of a play and um a laugh and uh talking to a few people
and it was good fun anyway um at one point, a couple of pictures come up on this
particular Bumble chat or was it Tinder? One or the other. The pictures were from the person
that we were talking to. Yes. And they were private pictures. Oh, so these are not profile pictures.
These are DM pictures.
Yes.
Right, into it.
And we were like, okay, this is probably not a good idea.
So they had been sent to your friend?
They weren't ones that your friend had sent?
No, so they'd been sent.
Because that would be really awkward.
So they had been sent anyway.
And then the group of us.
Upstairs or downstairs pictures?
Downstairs.
So the group of us then all started to, you know,
be like, oh, you know, that's interesting.
And the friend who got the pictures sent to them said,
nah, I'll show you the best one that I've ever seen.
Okay.
Anyway.
From the Hall of Fame.
From the Hall of Fame.
So then that person proceeded to bring up all of these pictures
on their phone.
Yep.
So anyway, that was the conversation.
It was done.
We all had a bit of a laugh.
It was great.
I know who the person is.
Anyway, yeah.
Anyway, about an hour later, the person who is on Bumble
and Tinder decided they would go for a walk.
They needed to go get something from the shops down the road.
So they went down for a walk. They needed to go get something from the shops down the road.
So they went down to the shops.
Upon their return as they were walking home,
a car has pulled up beside them and has said,
oh, excuse me, do you know where such and such is?
I'm trying to get to this place.
That's when my friend said, no, I don't, but I can bring it up on my phone.
And apparently they leant into the car window,
unlocked their phone, and guess what was the last thing they were looking at?
A stiff compass?
It was heading north.
Look, I'm hooked again.
I said I wouldn't be, but I'm back on board the Love Island train.
They got you.
They got me.
Love Island UK.
Started a couple of weeks ago.
You can watch it on Neon here in New Zealand, and I'm hooked.
I'm loving it.
It's so good.
Hour- long episodes?
I think they're like 45-ish, something like that.
You can vicariously live through other people's relationships.
It's a big commitment, eh?
It is a big commitment.
The whole show, there's so many episodes because I'm pretty sure an episode comes out every day nearly.
So it's a massive commitment.
Don't get on board if you've got stuff to do.
Really don't.
If you have anything to achieve in the next two months,
Love Island is not the show for you.
Exactly.
If you actually want to do something with your life.
But look at me.
I'm here.
I'm watching it.
And there was a situation that happened in one of the episodes last week
which I wanted to bring to the table and talk about and discuss.
Okay.
So this goes down between two of the Islanders,
and this is a spoiler alert, Liberty and Jake,
who coupled up in the very first episode.
Okay.
And they've been together for quite a while on the show,
but they haven't kissed yet.
Okay.
So this is the moment that Liberty and Jake share their first kiss.
That was a long time ago.
Oh, my God.
Hard to kill the mood.
Was that a fart?
Was that a fart?
He dropped a big dirty one.
Was it him or was it her?
It was him.
Oh, my God.
Did he do it on purpose?
You know what I thought?
I thought, wow, this will be Clint's worst nightmare.
Yeah, yeah.
I think it's hilarious.
I think I got two years into my relationship before my wife even knew that I had a digestive system.
You know?
That makes me, ooh.
There's an iconic moment in New Zealand television history
on the first ever season of The Bachelor,
the Art Green season.
Did Art Green fart on Matilda?
No.
No, he's on a date on an island with another bachelorette
whose name ironically is Poppy.
Yeah.
Did she pop off?
And she popped off.
Oh, yes.
Good work, Poppy.
I like that.
And it made the cut.
Some people argue that the producers did her dirty
and added a fart sound effect underneath it
because the microphone wasn't positioned next to her.
Oh, that's rough.
But she absolutely did it and he absolutely knew that she did it.
Did he comment?
Yeah, they laughed about it.
Because the worst thing you can do is just pretend like nothing's happened.
But he didn't choose her, did he?
That doesn't mean anything.
I know Art Green and he would not be choosing someone
because they did a fart in front of him.
He chose the girl who didn't fart on him.
Oh, whatever.
I bet Matilda dropped some big ones at home.
I can just tell they've got that kind of...
You watch your mouth.
That woman is a...
She's a saint.
Yeah, so why can't she drop a big one?
I'm just kidding.
The amount of protein that man must have to eat
to maintain that physique...
They'd have a close relationship, I'm telling you.
Oh, mate.
They would have to have a very powerful HRV system in the house.
But very awkward first kiss situation, I'm not going to lie.
Can we hear it again? Yeah, let's
take another listen.
That was a long time ago.
Oh my god!
That's a killer move!
Quite, uh...
Quite bassy,
wasn't it? I love how she's like,
that was a long time coming.
You know when people say...
You know what else is a long time coming?
You know when people say, oh, what was the first kiss like?
And you're like, oh, I had butterflies in my stomach.
Yeah, that's wrong.
What was the first kiss like?
A bit eggy, to be honest.
Butterflies in my stomach, that ended in a bad way.
Look, it's going to be that as much as that makes me uncomfortable,
it's going to make or break
the relationship because you've got a
funny foundation story then, right?
No, I love it. Wherever you can go, on our first
kiss, he dropped his gun.
I want a first kiss story like that. I think it's
hilarious. I want people to call up
this morning and
tell us, did you have
a disastrous first kiss situation?
Yeah, or an awkward first kiss.
Awkward first kiss.
What happened?
Did it not go very well?
Because that is awkward on the first kiss.
Like it is a bit awkward.
Were you dating an elderly gentleman and his false teeth came out?
Are you talking from experience?
No, not personally.
But yeah, whatever it was, we'd love to share in your awkward
and disastrous first kiss stories on 0800DALZITIM.
Or you can text us on 9696.
Where are the kisses at?
Bree and Clint.
Talking about disastrous first kiss situations
because there's a lot of pressure on the first kiss.
And sometimes bad.
Not if you're drunk.
Sometimes bad things happen.
Yeah, well, that doesn't always make it better either.
That's often why you're drunk, hey, because there's so much pressure.
Yeah, it takes a bit of the edge off.
If I get real steamed, I'll be more attractive.
I'll be more confident.
Yeah, that'll work.
Yeah, it'll make me a better kisser.
Not the case.
Something's gone down on Love Island UK
where two of the islanders have shared their first kiss
and then this happened.
That was a long time ago.
Oh, my God.
To kill the mood.
Way to kill the mood indeed.
So we're asking you this morning, on 0800 dial ZM,
did you have a disastrous first kiss?
Morning to Nate.
How are you going?
Hi, Nate.
Hello, how are you?
Nate, don't tell me this has happened to you,
the exact same situation.
Hi.
Yeah, kind of.
I was at my girlfriend's house for the first time
and I kissed her for the first time
and her dog came up and bit me.
Oh, you're joking.
Did the dog think you were trying to attack
her? I have no idea.
Actually, Nate, this is going to make it worse
or not as bad.
Where did it bite you?
On my face. On your face?
Oh, Nate.
It's only a Pekingese toy poodle,
so it didn't hurt that much.
He's trying to get in on the action, Nate, maybe.
Nothing like a frisky Pekingese toy poodle.
Maybe the Pekingese wanted some Nate.
That's good.
Hamish is here.
Hey, Hamish.
G'day, Hamish.
How's it going?
Thank you.
Hamish, share with us a disastrous first kiss situation.
Right.
So this wasn't the first kiss with me and my girlfriend. wasn't the first kiss with me and my girlfriend.
It was the first kiss with me and my wife.
Oh, right.
So at the altar?
Yeah.
So at the altar, we've got probably 40 plus guests sitting in the seats.
We've got a photographer and videographer getting different angles.
The celebrant says, you may now kiss your bride.
And we talked about doing this, but I thought we agreed against it.
So I was like, cool.
I go in for the kiss.
I put my arms around her and then she goes for a dip that I wasn't expecting.
We're going down, we're going down, we're going down and we're on the ground.
You dropped two.
Wait, what do you mean
what do you mean
what
we
it's being called
now the dip drop
you dropped
you dropped your wife
at the altar
I helped her up
and we redid it
and it was cool
and it looks really cool
on the video
that's one way to recover
the other one is
you've dropped her on the ground, then so
you drop down and then you just start doing
a lie down pash make out session at the
front of the altar. Yeah, make it real steamy.
Both of our families are never
going to let me live it down. Nah, man.
Yeah, I mean, it's not like
everyone was watching you at that
exact moment. It's weirdly relatable what Hamish
is talking about. When you get married, you do
kind of discuss what sort of kiss you're
going to do. Did you do a full tonguey?
Oh, we had an extended.
We had an extended.
So you did? Did you say yes or no?
Didn't do any tonguey. No tongue?
No tongue? You don't want a
tonguey in front of your parents. You want a little bit.
Nah, you don't need any tongue. So you went
full codfish, no tongue at
all whatsoever?
A long, longish, openish mouth.
And a little bit of a stick of the tongue.
A formal kiss.
You know, like it's a formal occasion.
What's a formal kiss?
I don't know.
I didn't have a tonguey in front of the, anyway, anyway.
Jazz is here.
Hi, Jazz.
Hi, Jazz.
Hi.
Hi.
Tell us, Jazz, what was your most awkward first kiss situation?
So I had a few too many drinks,
and this guy that I really, really had a crush on,
and mid-pash, I just chundered.
No!
It was so bad.
Oh, no.
No, no.
Jazz, there's a lot of people eating breakfast at the moment,
but I have to ask the question, in his mouth?
No, you didn't have to ask that question. No, I do have to ask the question. No, you didn't. I do have to ask the question, in his mouth? No, you didn't have to ask that question.
No, I do have to ask the question.
No, you didn't.
I do have to ask the question.
No, we could have assumed.
Jazz, my question I want to ask.
Did he vomit straight back?
No.
No, no, but he pushed me away.
Jazz, my question.
Yeah.
Did it work out?
No.
Oh, no.
Jazz, no. Jazz.
No.
He pushed me away and then I was, yeah, a bit, you know, tipsy
and, yeah, ended up on the floor in my bonnet.
Yeah.
Look, it's a classic Kiwi romance story.
Most first dates end with a little bit of chunder in them.
But sorry that it didn't work out, Jazz,
but I fully understand his reasons, I think.
Yeah, one too many Jager bombs, Jazz, I think.
What would you rather, that or the fire?
Oh, don't answer this question.
No, no.
Bree and Clint.
Hey.
It's my birthday.
It's my birthday.
Bree and Clint's birthday banger.
Right, there's something we do on our show every afternoon
at about 5.30.
But we're doing it every morning that we're filling in for Fletch, Vaughan and Megan.
And it's where you guys call us, you give us your birthday,
and we figure out what was the song that was topping the charts on your 16th birthday.
The best one gets voted on and played out in full.
Yesterday it was the Macarena.
What's it going to be today?
We start with Carla.
Kia ora, Carla.
G'day, Carla.
Hi.
How's your week started, Carla?
Good. That's good to hear, Carla. G'day, Carla. Hi. How's your week started, Carla? Good.
That's good to hear, Carla.
What's your birthday?
26th of May, 93.
All right.
You were 16 in 2009 on the 26th of May.
And in 2009, this had a number one hit.
Bonkers.
How good?
A bit of Dizzy Rascal for you, Carla.
Is this too intense for 8 o'clock on a Tuesday morning?
It is quite intense.
Yeah, but is it too intense?
Or is it the right amount of intense?
Depends what night you've had last night.
Depends what pre-workout supplement you took this morning.
Do you like it, Carla, for your birthday banger?
It's interesting, not my type.
That's how I'd describe it too.
An interesting one. Okay, wait there. We'll do one for
Mitchell. Morning, Mitchell. G'day, Mitch.
How are we? Good, thanks.
Mitch, how's your morning started?
Oh, a bit chilly, but you know, it's all good.
Where are you?
Masterton. Oh yeah, it would be bloody cold.
We can't relate here in Tamaki Makoto.
It's much warmer. Mitch, what's your birthday? 18 July, yeah. Oh, yeah, it would be bloody cold. We can't relate here in Tamaki Makoto. It's much warmer. Mitch, what's your birthday?
18 July, 89.
All right, Mitch, you were 16 in 2005 on the 18th of July.
And in 2005, this was top in the chart.
Don't you wish your girlfriend was wrong like me.
Don't you wish your girlfriend was wrong like me.
Oh, Mitch from Masterton, this has got you ridden all over it.
It does.
This brings back many memories of driving around until three in the morning.
Yeah.
The mainies in Masterton.
Yeah, I can picture you, Mitch, dropping the clutch in your Commodore.
Falcon, Falcon.
Oh, Falcon.
Sorry, Falcon.
My deepest apologies, Mitch.
Sorry, the Falcon.
Let's go to Claire for one more birthday banger.
Morning, Claire. G'day, Claire. Morning, man.. Let's go to Claire for one more birthday banger. Morning, Claire.
G'day, Claire.
Morning.
How many coffees have you had this morning?
Zero, still on the way to one.
Excellent.
Well, you've got that to look forward to.
What's your birthday?
16th of December, 1980.
All right, you're 16.
1996 on the 16th of December.
And what 90s banger is your birthday banger?
Oh, yes, Claire.
I think you can't beat that, surely.
I mean, surely.
You were 16 years old when this song came out.
Claire, how does that make you feel?
Super young, you think? Super young, yeah. Which Sp how does that make you feel? Super young.
Super young, yeah. Which
Spice Girl were you, Claire?
Um, ooh.
Look, I've got
Super Curly here, so probably
Scary. A bit of Scary Spice. You can be a mix
too. I mean... Hybrid
Spice. You can be a hybrid Spice. What are you?
You're a bit of Sporty.
I'm going to say Scary Sporty. You're a bit of Scary, yeah. Bit of hybrid Spice. What are you? You're a bit of sporty. I'm going to say scary, sporty.
You're a bit of scary, yeah.
Yeah.
Bit of country Spice.
What about Gary Quinn?
Oh, good question.
He drives an Audi, so he's posh Spice.
Claire, wait there.
We've got to vote.
Dizzy Rascal, Pussycat Dolls, Spice Girls, they're all good this morning.
They are, but it's got to be the Spice Girls for me.
It's got to be Dizzy Rascal.
Really?
Yeah, I love that song.
Oh, we're so not on the same level.
I just think maybe the energy might be right.
Wannabe, the Spice Girls.
No one wants to hear bonkers at 8.30 in the morning.
You reckon?
I reckon.
Okay, we've got to go to split vote.
Anastasia had the vote yesterday.
Ben gets the vote today.
They're all up for grabs, Ben.
Pussycat Dolls, Spice Girls or Dizzy Rascal.
What's it going to be? I'm going to go
with Claire. I'm going to go Wannabe. Yes, Benny.
There we go, everybody.
Benny and the Jets. That'd be a great
song. Let's play that. The winner of
Birthday Banger
is you, Claire. Congratulations.
Yes, queen. Have a great day.
Brianne Clint, here's Birthday Banger on ZM.
ZM, Brie and Clint.
Spice Girls.
Wannabe.
That's a birthday banger.
And while we're filling in for Fletch, Vaughn and Megan,
we're going to do one every day at this time.
Taking Down Dizzy Rascal.
I really thought I had a shot.
I really thought I had a shot with this song.
Someone texted through and they said,
wannabe, just what I needed going into my appraisal
at 9am. Go kill it.
Yeah.
Crush it. We're cheering you on.
And if you fail, we'll still be here.
I wear a cap every day.
Bree and Clint, here from iHeartRadio.
This is The Latest.
Big news out of the Iggy Azalea camp.
Is she back in a big way when she's just dropped this absolute, in my opinion, banger?
This is Iggy Azalea.
It's called Strip Club.
Strip Club.
Don't want your love, don't want your problems.
Just need all of, all of your dollars.
I do the leftist, I ride the polar.
I am the, the Strip Club.
I am the, the Strip Club. I am the, the strip club. I am the, the strip club.
I am the, the strip club.
I am the, the strip club.
I am the, the strip club.
Bree's got bass face on.
I'm doing finger guns.
Yeah.
Bree's in the strip club.
You reckon that's as big as fancy?
No, no, no, no, nothing.
She'll never top that.
Is it enough to get her back on the radio?
I like it.
I think it's a bit of a boss.
It's a cool music video.
Makes absolutely no sense whatsoever, but I like it.

I think so.
She keeps everything pretty private these days.
Not everything.
Except for the fact of she is now a strip club.
Except that she's the strip club.

It's a 50-50, but we're going to put it to you guys next.
We'll do it after Harry Styles and Watermelon Sugar.

You said to me

You're such
Full of crap
I would never compare Iggy Azalea to Australia's Lord. You're such a fool of crap.
I would never compare Iggy Azalea to Lord.
You asked for a review.
Do people want to hear the new Iggy Azalea song on 10M?
It's a big fat no.
Apparently it is horrible and I'll just take my opinion and shove it way down low.
Someone said that sounds like Brie rapping, not Iggy Azalea.
And that just confirmed to me how bad the song is.
Brie rapping as Iggy Azalea sounds more like this.
Tell me who dat, who dat, they do dat, do dat,
put that paper over all, I thought you knew dat, knew dat.
Where did you even get this?
It's on the internet.
I thought I deleted it.
That's me too, That's me too.
That's me singing.
Where?
Producer Ben, where did you get that?
I deleted it.
No, you told me keep this safe is my pride.
It's a special clip.
I did not.
There's that one and there's the Jessie J one as well.
I can't believe you're doing this to me in breakfast hours.
What's so special?
People don't even know you here.
What about all these people that don't even know us
and this is what they're going to judge me on, my rapping skills?
Yeah, we're meeting new people at the moment.
I'm so embarrassed.
Because you've got to know a lot about people to relate to them.
Brie on this show is the one who does parody songs.
That's what she likes to do.
No, that is not true.
You've got the big...
Don't, Producer Ben.
Don't.
What are you doing?
I'm feeling sexy and free.
I'm leaving.
I don't have to be here.
I'm leaving.
No, you contractually have to be here for another 17 minutes.
No, I'm contractually meant to be here from 3 till 7. I'll come back this afternoon when you guys aren't here. I'm about. No, you contractually have to be here for another 17 minutes. I'm contractually meant to be here from 3 till 7.
I'll come back this afternoon when you guys aren't here.
Just hit the spot.
I mean, you know, and I'm pretty good.
Let me put this question to you.
Have you ever been to the supermarket, used the self-service checkout
and gotten really frustrated?
I bet we all have.
But have you ever done this thing where, you know, you've got an avocado
but then you decide you want to put it through with something cheaper?
Me personally, no, I've never done that because I am terrified.
I've never gone as far as the avocado one.
Why?
What have you done then?
But I may have put my tamari almonds through as regular almonds.
I mean, regular OG here.
And when I did it, I felt bad.
Do we have Snoop Dogg in the house?
He's a gangster.
Yeah.
But no.
Gangster lean.
I always look at these self-checkout things and I go,
surely you guys are losing more money than you're saving
by not having checkout operators.
Because people will be going to all kinds of lengths
to scam those machines.
I know.
And here's the situation.
There's a woman that's written in to this article
where she's talking about a friend
of hers who says it's fine to put through expensive items such as avocados as brown onions
because she said, technically, I'm not stealing. I'm still paying for something.
And the supermarkets work out the cost of self-checkout fraud into their prices.
I love the lengths people will go to justify it,
but a lawyer has actually weighed in on this.
She's effectively gone, the supermarkets want you to do it.
Yeah.
Well, this is what the lawyer has said.
She said, it doesn't matter how your friend tries to justify her behaviour,
her deceitful conduct in intentionally not paying full price is against the law.
This is a huge problem with the cost of theft for retailers estimated to be upwards of billions
of dollars each year.
The dishonest behaviour unfortunately affects us all because it pushes up the prices.
Right.
That's what happens.
Anyway, she talks about what are the consequences of doing something like this.
So apparently you can get a warning.
From the supermarket?
No, from the police.
Oh, whoa.
You can get a warning.
The police can caution you.
If the police are getting called to a self-service checkout situation,
they've got to be questioning the job.
They've got to be going, are you serious?
Yeah, right.
I went to police college for this.
I think this is what could
happen. They said if the value of the
goods is more than $30,
she might have to perform community
service. Then it can go
further. If she continues
to do it, she
can then be fined over
$1,000 and then if she continues
to do it after that, she can
get a conviction of up to 10 years in jail. 10 years in jail? Depending on how many times to do it after that um she can get a conviction of up to
10 years in jail 10 years in jail for depending on how many times you do it putting an avocado
through as a onion i know you think it's a small thing you know who should go to prison
is the people who design those self-service checkout machines and when you scan your step
through after you're finished and it goes would you like to print a receipt and i click no and
every single time that I click no,
it still prints me a receipt.
That's a fuel voucher.
I don't want the fuel voucher.
I get the discount without the fuel voucher.
Oh, because you drive an Audi.
You don't have to pay for fuel.
As you can tell, I'm quite worked up about it.
I want to audition for the voice of those self-service checkout things.
Don't because that voice is only there to annoy people.
New item in the bagging area. Unexpected item.
Unexpected item in the
bagging area.
