The ZM Podcast Network.
Just a heads up, if there's kids listening, this podcast intro has some dirty content in it.
It's Māori Language Week by the way. Today I'm Māori, the official language of New Zealand.
Yeah, can we wrap this up because I've got to go to the whare paku.
Do you? The toilet?
Yep.
Yeah?
Ah, what else?
You've got to do a big teko.
Yeah, I've got to paint a...
I'll paint a whare kai if you need me.
Having a munch? I've got to paint a big tickle. Yeah, I've got to paint. I'll paint a wharekai if you need me. Having a munch.
I've got to paint in my puku.
I'm nyengi.
Tired.
It's good.
Thank you.
That is my tarting, guys.
I'm ready for a Wednesday innu, a drink.
Good.
Can I just defend myself for a second because I've been taking fire this afternoon for consuming.
Ella gave me this.
I reckon the most underrated chocolate there is.
It's gross. Fruit and nut.
Oh, big fan. Yum, I love fruit
and nut chocolate. Delicious. Such
a shit chocolate choice.
Why does it trigger you so much? It triggers Ella
and my wife as well. It triggers me real
bad because I hate it. I just hate
the taste of raisins.
Do you like nutty chocolate?
Do you like a peanut slab? I love
nutty chocolate. Hazelnuts are probably one of my favourites. Oh yeah? Yeah. And do you like nutty chocolate? Do you like a peanut slab? I love nutty chocolate.
Hazelnut's probably one of my favourites.
Oh yeah?
Yeah.
And do you like... Sultana brand?
Almond chocolate, love it.
Dark Forest?
Love Dark Forest.
So why can't you have the two together?
Because Dark Forest is some delicious little lollies
and like a nice biscuit texture.
Sorry, Dark Forest.
No, that's Berry Biscuit, isn't it?
Dark Forest, yeah.
Isn't it the same thing? I think it's the same. Isn't Berry Biscuit, isn't it? Dark Forest is, yeah. Isn't it the same thing?
I think it's the same.
Isn't Berry Biscuit
the Whittaker's version
of the Cadbury?
Oh, is it?
Black Forest?
I think Cadbury's Black Forest
and Whittaker's is Berry Forest.
Oh, they're the same thing.
All I know is that
milk chocolate sucks
and I had that
thinking it was
dark chocolate.
Oh, don't come in here
with that hate speech.
You know, Brianna,
we're talking about you today, Ella,
and how triggered we are by the fact that you spent how many weeks in Italy?
Oh, 10 days.
10 days in Italy.
That's a long time.
And you did not have an authentic Italian pizza with cheese and meat on it.
But that's the thing.
If I did, I would just walk away going, not yay, but nay,
because I haven't had dairy for so long.
So I'd just make my tummy up.
You should take some lactease.
If you don't walk away feeling sick after a pizza,
you haven't done it right.
Yep.
That's so true.
But being vegan, I feel great after a pizza.
And by pizza, she means a dry base.
You're in Italy.
Oh, yeah, like Flander.
Oh, the mozzarella in Italy.
The morganzola
I'm down with your veganism, not that you asked
But you're in the home of cheese and cured meats and things like that
Oh yeah
I know
Like authentic Italiano
I mean, there's a lot of good stuff, Italian food
Actually, most stuff would be at least vegetarian
Well, we had yum pasta
But not vegan
Not the pastas
Not vegan
Do you have any Campari?
What's that?
Aperol Spritz
Oh yes I did
I had a sip
I'll put my hand up
I hate Aperol Spritz
Same
Oh really?
It tastes like fly spray
It tastes yuck
They're very Instagram though
So they're very popular.
They are, do look.
Because they're so orange and beautiful and they look really fresh.
Like a sunset in a cup.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm all about the sangria over the Aperol Spritz.
The Aperol Spritz is so gross.
Not that it's the same thing.
Sangria is Spanish?
Spanish, yeah.
Yeah.
I know I like a really classy drink.
It's called Vodka Red Bull.
Do you actually like Vodka Red Bull?
I had it last night.
Did you?
Yeah, at the gig.
It wakes you up and it gets you a little tiddly.
Even just thinking about a Jagerbomb makes me want to throw up.
Yeah, well, it's great.
I guess I'm young and I can take it. Oh, okay.
I ruined
my shot-taking ability
when I was younger, I reckon.
No, you didn't. You just outgrew it. Is that what it is?
Everybody outgrows it. Your stomach outgrows
it. And I've got a mate in our group who thinks
we haven't outgrown it. And about 11
o'clock, so we've been out since like 7,
at 11 o'clock he'll show up
with a round and he'll add a shot to the round
So he'll bring his beers for us
And then he'll go oh and a cheeky fireball
What a great friend
I would hate that
Everybody goes in on him the next day
Because they're like you ruined us
With that one shot you ruined us
There's always someone who at the end of the night is like
Let's do shots
But it's always something gross
That's a start of the night thing Oh wet let's do shots. At the end of the night? But it's always something gross.
That's a start of the night thing.
Oh, wet pussies are good.
I still haven't had one.
That's a shot, by the way,
if you're new to this podcast.
No, I haven't. Oh, haven't you had one yet?
Oh, you're going to be obsessed
when you have your first one.
She's talking about the shot,
by the way,
if you're new to this podcast.
Oh, never mind.
Still haven't had one.
Like Cardi B,
like if she went to Australia,
that song would go off
because in Australia,
the most popular shot is a wet pussy.
What is it by the way?
It's cranberry juice
lime, a squeeze of lime
peach schnapps
and then there's something else in there
I can't remember.
Good for a UTI as well.
Great for a UTI.
Good for a fresh ass pussy.
Oh my gosh, side note
when I was teen guys on my birthday I had a UTI and for a fresh ass pussy oh my gosh side note when I was like when I was
10 guys on my birthday I had a UTI and I had to go to the hospital it was really fun why are you
smiling so much because it was awesome where's the story coming from because we're talking about
UTIs I had so many UTIs as a young kid too yeah me too did you have like the sore sore things on
your sides whoa you're gonna say did you have the saw flaps? And I was like, this is getting way too personal.
I'm going to wrap this up.
You need to know this because you've got daughters
and it's quite a common thing in young girls.
Exactly, Clint.
I've had a UTI, okay?
Don't other me.
Teach them how to wipe.
I'm just saying.
I've had the Bernie wheeze.
What am I doing?
Why are we doing this?
Isn't that a presidential candidate?
Bernie wheeze.
That's chlamydia.
Enjoy the podcast, everybody.
We'll catch you guys back tomorrow.
Bye.
Bernie Weiss.
I'm coming in.
Well, howdy, pilgrim.
Bree and Clint.
Bree and Clint.
Tradies versus ladies.
All right, here we go.
The tradies versus the ladies for a Wednesday.
The tradies sitting on 81 wins for the year.
The ladies coming back 67.
Bree said if the ladies can get to 100 before the tradies do,
she'll do a nudie run around Victoria Park.
Audio or I didn't say it.
Just lie.
Just promise it.
We just want to encourage the ladies. Or is that the motivation they want? I don't We just want to encourage the ladies.
Or is that the motivation they want?
I don't know if that would encourage the ladies.
Let's bring our tradie on first today.
He's 36 years old.
He's from Southland.
And he has a boat, but he can't swim.
Welcome to the show, Sean.
G'day, Sean.
Hi, how you going?
Lucky you've got that boat then, I guess,
so you don't have to get in the water.
Yeah, I've got some good life jackets.
I was going to say, I hope you've invested in a lot, I guess, so you don't have to get in the water. Yeah, I've got some good life jackets.
I was going to say, I hope you've invested in a lot of life jackets, Sean.
You're taking on our lady today.
She's 30.
She's from the Garden City, and she won a fishing comp for heaviest snapper.
Welcome to the show, Shana.
Shana.
Hey, how are you?
Good, mate.
How big was the snapper?
I knew you were going to ask that.
I can't remember.
It was about 10 years ago.
Oh, right.
Okay.
Just lie then, Shana.
You just go, it was this big.
It was 175 kilos.
Oh, at least, at least.
Yeah, nice, Shana.
Big snapper.
It's huge.
Sean, your buzzer is tradie.
Shana, your buzzer is lady. First of three correct answers goes home with $50 cash from KFC.
Good luck.
Here we go, guys.
Question number one.
What is the national sport of Japan?
Is it baseball, sumo wrestling or karate?
Katie.
Lady.
Yes, Sean.
Sumo wrestling.
It is sumo wrestling.
Although baseball and karate, very popular in Japan.
Question number two.
The All Blacks take on Australia this Thursday night in Melbourne.
What is the name of the cup those two teams compete for?
Brady.
Yes, Sean.
Bledisloe Cup.
It is the Bledisloe Cup.
Should be called the All Blacks Cup.
Don't jinx it.
Don't jinx it.
Question number three.
Just tell them the truth.
Taylor Swift is facing a copyright lawsuit for her song Shake It Off at the moment.
What year was Taylor Swift born?
Lady.
Yes, Shana.
No.
Think of her album titles.
21?
I have no idea, sorry.
Was she born in what?
1921.
1921 or 2021? I don't know. Okay, idea, sorry. Was she born in what? 1921. 1921 or 2021?
I don't know.
Okay, neither, obviously.
Sean, would you like a more appropriate guess?
97.
97, no.
That would make her quite young.
That would make her really young.
We were looking for 1989, the title of one of her albums,
and in my opinion, the best album.
It was on the 13th of December, if anyone was playing at home.
Question number four, no points for anyone there.
Arabica, Robusta and Excelsa are all varieties of what?
Lady.
Yes, Shana.
Darts?
No.
Good guess.
Sean, you want to guess?
I've got no idea.
No, okay.
Coffee beans is what we were looking for.
We're not all that fancy.
No, okay.
Oh, I'm a barista.
I should have known that.
You were a barista.
Shana.
Shana.
Not a very good one, apparently.
You shouldn't have admitted that, no.
Yeah, you could have just kept that to yourself.
Okay, two to the tradies still.
You can win the game here, Sean.
Question number five.
Buzz in, guys, if you can tell me who sings this song.
Lady.
Yes, Shana.
Nickelback.
Correct.
She's on the board.
Here we go.
She doesn't know her coffee beans, but she knows Nickelback.
That's more important.
I need some Nickelback.
Come on, you need these two, Shana.
Let's do it.
Question number six.
What company was initially known as Blue Ribbon Sports? Come on, you need these two, Sharna. Let's do it. Question number six.
What company was initially known as Blue Ribbon Sports?
Was it Adidas, Nike or Reebok?
Trady.
Yes, Sean, for the win.
Reebok?
That's incorrect, Sharna.
Adidas?
We were looking for Nike. You guys are really dragging this game out.
Hey, isn't it fun, guys?
Isn't it fun?
Question number seven.
Still two to the tradies, one to the ladies.
What do you call a group of crows?
Tradie.
Yes, Sean, for the win.
Is it a murder?
He's got it.
It took all seven questions to get there, but you've taken it out, mate.
Well done, both of you.
Sean, you get 50 bucks from KFC.
Awesome, thank you.
Another one to the tradies.
Imagine being a barista and not knowing about your coffee beans.
She knows how to do the swirl on top, though.
Bree and Clint.
You know what makes me happy, Clint?
Chocolate.
Dogs. Oh, yeah, I did know that about you. Dogs make me You know what makes me happy, Clint? Chocolate. Dogs.
Oh yeah, I did know that about you.
Dogs make me smile.
It makes me excited.
Puppies.
I am a dog person.
You were at the airport this morning and you were rummaging through your puffer jacket
and you went, oh, there's dog treats in my pocket.
Any person who has dogs will relate to that.
Really?
You just have treats in all your pockets.
What about how you started nibbling on one of them?
Yeah, well, that was my pocket.
Is that relatable for dog people too?
I have a pocket with my treats
and a pocket of treats for my dog.
I'm just an animal person in general,
but I got really excited when one of my friends
who has wanted a dog,
well, her and her partner have wanted a dog for years,
but have never been in the situation
where they could get one.
Right.
She told me they got two.
Whoa, from zero to two?
Yeah.
They've adopted two dogs.
I guess that's probably the way to do it, right?
Then you can puppy them at the same time
and go through all of that once.
Some people who have twins,
they're like, we're doing all the hard work up front.
And we're going to get it out of the way.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well, they don't have to do any of the puppy stuff
because they adopted.
So the dogs are older and they've already got names.
Oh.
And turns out the dogs are brother and sister.
Yeah.
And they've got real punny names.
Okay.
And it makes me real happy.
Right.
Just before you tell me what they are.
Yeah.
Are dogs like boats where it's bad luck to change the name of a dog?
No, they already had these names.
Yeah, I know. But you know how if you buy a boat. I don't know. It's bad luck to change the name of a dog. No, they already had these names. Yeah, I know.
But you know how if you buy a boat, it's bad luck to rename that boat.
Is it bad luck?
Yeah.
But people do.
And I guess if you renamed your dog, it'll be fine.
The dog just wouldn't answer to that name.
I mean, people who are buying big fancy boats, I think they'll be fine.
I don't know.
It's a good question.
Anyway, I was like, oh, I've got to hear these punny names.
Okay, dog punny names.
So the first dog, which is a boy, his name is Jimmy Chew.
Jimmy Chew.
It's good.
Especially if he eats a lot of shoots.
I think he does chew on stuff.
Like if he chews a lot of shoots.
You know, Jimmy Chew, that's the first one.
Jimmy Chew, good, yeah.
His sister's name, keeping with the theme, Clint, Vera Fang.
These are high fashion dogs.
It's good.
Yeah.
That made me really excited and I was like,
you know what I'd love to ask people?
Does your pet...
Bark, lint, ciaga?
Yeah.
It'd be great. Does your pet
have a punny name? Have you done
it on purpose? I've come up with a few.
Do you want to hear them? Okay, yeah. Are these up
for grabs? These are up for grabs. Anyone
can use these. What about
Jude Poor? Jude
Poor is good, yep. Jude Poor.
That'd be a British dog, obviously. That'd be a British
dog. British bulldog, maybe.
I came up with a dog and a cat combo.
So if you had a dog and a cat, you could name one of them Mutt Damon.
Mutt Damon.
And the other one, Cat Damon.
Yeah.
That's good stuff.
What about Winnie the pooch?
I'm trying to think of a Ben Affleck one for the cat.
Because wouldn't you put Ben Affleck with Matt Damon?
Yeah, you would. Bark Affleck? No. cat because wouldn't you put Ben Affleck with Matt Damon? Yeah, you would.
Bark Affleck?
No.
Ben.
Ben.
Cat Fleck.
Cat Fleck?
Ben Cat Fleck.
Ben, yeah, yeah, that works.
Bark Wahlberg.
Bark Wahlberg's good.
These are what we're looking for.
This is what we want.
Any pet, if it's got a punny name,
I want you to call through 0800-DIAL-ZM
or you can text us on 9696. Lexi's already here. Has your dog got a punny name, I want you to call through 0800-DIAL-ZM or you can text us on 9696.
Lexi's already here.
Has your dog got a punny name, Lexi?
It's not my dog.
It's my rooster, and his name is Clark Norris.
Clark Norris.
Yes, Lexi.
Perfect.
Lou's got one, though.
Hi, Lou.
Hi, Lou.
Hi, how are you?
Good, thanks.
First of all, tell us what pet is it?
Also chickens.
Okay, great.
We had Helen Cluck and Victoria Peckham.
Yeah, it's good.
I mean, it's good.
It's no telling.
Helen Cluck.
It's so good.
Someone else on the text machine said they had a chicken. Its name was Russell Crowe, which is good. Someone else on the text machine said they had a chicken.
Its name was Russell Crowe, which is good.
Someone else said our chickens.
Do they have a rooster or a chicken called Russell Crowe?
They said Chooks.
Chooks, okay.
Someone else said our chickens are called Merrill Cheap.
Very good.
Why are these all chicken-based?
Hennifer Aniston.
And then the other ones are just called Nugget and Omelette.
Hennifer Aniston. It's so good. We've just Nugget and Omelette. Henifer Aniston.
It's so good.
We've just lost one person.
We've got Sophie here.
Hi, Sophie.
Hi, Sophie.
Oh, hello.
You got a pun-based animal name for us?
Yes, I do.
So my parents had a ram.
Got him around the time of the Rugby World Cup
that New Zealand hosted a few years ago.
2011, yeah.
So we decided to call him Ba'a Nonu.
Ba'a Nonu.
Was he a fan?
Was the sheep a fan?
He was a fan.
Yeah.
Oh, he's a ram, right?
So he's good at running into stuff, busting through the gap, I imagine, just like Ma Nonu.
Absolutely.
Perfect.
I love that.
Speaking of rugby players, someone said, my cat is named Richie McClure. Richie McClure is good. Absolutely. Perfect. I love that. Speaking of rugby players, someone said, my cat
is named Richie McClure.
Richie McClure is good. I love that.
Someone else said,
our dog is Bark Ruffalo.
Yeah, right there.
Someone else said, I have
a little fluffy dog and we called her
Woofy Goldberg.
Woofy Goldberg.
She's got little dreadlocks. Oh, this makes me so happy.
Finally, let's go to Leo.
Leo, you've got a punny animal name for us?
Yes.
What is it?
What animal is it, Leo?
So we have three chickens and one of them is K.
Say that again.
Say that again, Leo.
One of them is K.
Oh, yeah, okay.
One of them is K. One of them is K Oh yeah, okay One of them is K
One of them is F
Yeah
And one of them is C
Leo
Leo
Leo
Leo, that's a bit naughty, isn't it?
KFC the chickens

My mum thought of it
Yeah, it's good
We like it, Leo
Thank you
Blame it on your mum
I like it
I like it
Poor chickens Doesn't Vaughn Yeah, it's good. We like it, Leo. Thank you. It's good, Leo. Blame it on your mum. I like it. I like it.
Poor chickens.
Doesn't Vaughn, Vaughn has got punny names for all of his chickens. He's got the Cluckdashians.
The Cluckdashians, yeah.
Although, judging by his Instagram stories,
I'm not sure how many of the Cluckdashians are still with us.
Yeah, Tristan probably went a long time ago.
I think it's just Rob.
It might just be Rob that's left.
What, Rob survived? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Out of all of the Cluckdashians? Yeah, I know, right a long time ago. I think it's just Rob. It might just be Rob that's left. What, Rob survived?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Out of all of the cluckdashians.
I know, right?
Who would have thought?
Really clucking the trend there.
It's time for the later.
God, the Emmys were everywhere yesterday, weren't they?
They were a big deal.
A lot of massive winners, I feel.
Huge wins for the White Lotus.
Big wins for Ted Lasso.
These just shows you how many great TV shows there are around at the moment.
Yeah, Succession took out a lot of awards as well.
Succession crushed it.
Big awards for the final season of Ozark.
But everyone's talking about a speech that Lizzo gave.
Sound keep well.
Producer Ella, you saw this.
What was Lizzo winning an Emmy for, Ella?
I'm here.
She was winning one for the competition.
So like TV competition shows?
Yeah.
Oh, with her backup dancer show?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I've watched it.
The big girls.
Yeah, it's quite good.
It's awesome.
Here's a speech that Lizzo gave at the Emmys yesterday.
When I was a little girl, all I wanted to see was me in the media. Someone
fat like me,
black like me,
beautiful like me.
If I could go back and
tell little Lizzo something, I'd be like,
you're going to see that person, but bitch, it's going to
have to be you.
God bless y'all. This is for the big
girls. L-I-Z-Z-O-P-I-G-G-G-I-L-S.
We the best.
Hey.
God, I love her.
She is just the best.
I love her so much.
I find that super relatable as a larger figure woman myself.
I love that.
And I think representation on TV shows is so important for the next generation
yeah
and I think it's so cool
and it's so great
that she spoke out about it
well so
someone who has
a positive attitude
towards it as well
she's like
I am bigger
but I'm beautiful
it's not a problem
that I'm bigger
I'm not trying to lose any weight
but it's also just like
being able to see someone
that you relate with
on TV
you know
being like
oh there I am like I'm represented I'm not weird or that different because you relate with on TV. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, being like, oh, there I am.
Like, I'm represented.
I'm not weird or that different because there I am on TV.
Very cool.
Very cool.
Love it.
That TV show worth checking out, I guess, too.
She won an Emmy for it.
It's really cool.
It's fun.
Bree and Clint.
Bree and I went on a flight today from Queenstown to Auckland.
I was asleep the whole time.
Was it relatively, you know, tantrum-free, that flight?
You were awake.
Yeah, it was quite quiet.
Was it?
It was, yeah, relatively.
If you could guarantee that you were going on a flight with no kids,
would you pay extra for that?
Yeah, maybe.
Like, and I really feel for parents on flights.
Yes.
Because I just can only imagine how much of a nightmare it is.
And it is.
And, but like, maybe it would make them feel more comfortable if they were on a flight
where they were all in the same boat together.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Because I can imagine a part of the stress would be...
It would make them feel better if you got a discount
for going on flights with kids.
If you volunteered to go on a kid flight,
they'd be like, oh, well, you took the discount,
so the kids are...
You actually took this.
But it is...
Because you can't just tell a kid to stop crying, can you?
No, you can't.
But you, no kids, flies quite a bit.
Would you pay extra if you could guarantee there was no kids around? Depending how much extra and how long the flight is.
You know, on short flights, I don't care. Yeah. But on long haul flights where it can be,
you know, where you need to sleep. Yeah. It can be, you know, a luxury. So there are five airlines
in the world that will offer you something like this. Okay. And I can
tell you how it works, okay, just in case you're interested.
Right. Just in case you want this.
Air Asia X to a quiet zone.
There's
a part of economy at
the front where no one under
10 is allowed to sit. Okay. And you
pay a small fee to sit up there. Right.
So you can distance yourself a little bit.
Malaysian Airlines, they've got those A380s,
which are those two-storey planes.
Okay, yep.
Top story is child-free.
No kids allowed up on that deck.
They've also banned anyone under 12 from flying in first class,
which I think is just a good idea in general.
Kids don't need to know that first class exists.
What if you're a millionaire? It'll spoil them on regular air travel. which I think is just a good idea in general. Kids don't need to know that first class exists.
What if you're a millionaire?
It'll spoil them on regular air travel.
What if you're a millionaire before you're 12 and you want to buy first class tickets?
Who's a millionaire before they're 12?
That guy, that kid that does YouTube.
That kid that does YouTube?
Yeah, real famous YouTuber, tests toys and stuff.
The corn kid from TikTok?
He might be a millionaire now.
Yeah.
Japan Airlines lets you see where babies under two are
when you're booking your flight.
There's a little baby icon on the seat in the plane.
So then you can pick a seat as far away from those babies as you want.
Interesting.
Scoot Airlines have a specific quiet zone
between business class and economy class,
and you pay extra to sit in there.
And it's the shh, quiet area.
The quiet zone.
But what's to stop, say, you on your way to a girls' weekend,
three champagnes deep, causing a ruckus in there?
Well, that's true.
That would affect the quiet zone.
It's not just kids, is it?
No, they should get put in the loud zone.
And Indigo, one of India's largest airlines,
blocks travellers under 12 from sitting in rows 1 to 4 and 11 to 14.
Okay, so they have kind of a system as well.
Kind of.
But those are also emergency exit rows normally,
so I don't think kids are allowed to sit there anyway.
But anyway, I'm just saying, if you want it,
those are the options that you have.
Or, of course, you've got noise cancelling headphones.
Yeah, which do work
to a certain extent. I always think, though,
imagine those things where they are
grouping, you know, all the parents and
their kids together. They're effectively
pushing them all to the back of the plane. Well, effectively
as well, if one of them gets
to stop their baby crying, but then you're
not going to get them all to stop at the same time, so then
it's just going to be a bad cycle.
Also, it's a domino effect.
Once one goes, they all go.
So even worse for parents.
They don't need things to be worse.
It's already bad enough.
You just need to be aware that if there's a baby crying
and you're like, well, someone would.
Don't worry, the parent wishes that the kid would be quiet as well.
Yeah.
Everybody.
You can tell by their face.
Bree and Clint.
Robbie Williams has revealed he hates the nickname Robbie Williams.
Which is weird.
It's not that far off his actual name, Robert Williams.
You know what?
I think it's quite a hard thing when you're in the public eye.
And what probably people don't realise
is a lot of these famous people get told at times in their career,
you need to change your name.
You have to be that.
It's quite a hard thing, like, to give up your identity.
Yeah.
And, I mean, he changed it from Robert to Robbie, but still.
Yeah, let's not go too far.
It's the same as, you know, Anne Hathaway.
Her real name's Annie, I believe.
Yeah, and that's what she wants
to be called, right? Yeah, but she obviously got
told, no, we
think you will be more marketable
as Anne Hathaway. Can we
find some worse ones than changing
your name from Annie to Anne or Robert
to Robbie? What's the nickname you've got
that you hate? Nicola is here.
Afternoon, Nicola. Hi, Nicola.
Hi there. What's your nickname that you don't like?
It's not mine.
It's my husband's, but it's my fault.
Okay.
Oh, no.
What did you do, Nicola?
So when we first met, I was 18,
and I thought for some reason it would be a great idea
to send him a rose to his workplace
in an air conditioning company.
Okay. Okay. I imagine quite a manly industry full of air conditioning company. Okay.
Okay.
I imagine quite a manly industry full of other blokes.
Yeah.
Yeah, okay, yeah.
Yeah, and so the blokes thought it was really funny
and called him Rosie.
And 28 years later, he's still called Rosie,
even when he changes jobs in the same industry,
somehow they find out and still call him Rosie.
And he hates her.
Do you ever call him Rosie, Nicola?
No.
Oh, my God, no.
It's because it's your fault, right?
Yeah.
It could be worse.
They could call him Thorny.
Okay, thank you, Nicola.
That's a good one.
Let's go to Georgia.
Hi, Georgia.
Hi, Georgia.
Hiya.
Is it your nickname, Georgia, that you hate?
It is my nickname, yes. Oh, what is it?
Polly Pissy Pants.
Okay.
Your nickname is Polly Pissy Pants.
I can't see why you'd hate that.
Well, my mum
called it to me when I was a toddler and now my
family just do it to piss me off.
Oh, your mum stitched you up with that.
You couldn't help that when you were a toddler being a
Polly Pissy Pants, could you, Georgia?
No. You just said they call you that
to piss you off, Polly Pissy Pants.
Yeah.
It's not because you still pissy your pants, is it, Georgia?
No, no, of course not.
Because then I'd be like, well, to be fair, the nickname kind of works.
It just evolved
now to just, you know, she's pissed
off now. Okay, thanks, Polly.
I mean, thanks, Georgia.
We appreciate the call.
Thanks, Georgia.
Okay, let's talk to Tegan.
Hi, Tegs.
Hi, Tegan.
Hi there.
Tell us, is it your nickname, Tegan, you really don't like?
Yeah, it's my nickname from back in high school.
I used to get called Tegel Chicken.
Tegel Chicken as in the brand?
Yeah.
Just because it sounds like Tegan or did you used to eat a lot of chicken brand? Yeah. Just because it sounds like Teagan
or did you used to eat a lot of chicken breast?
No, just because it sounds like Teagan.
Yeah, right.
Yeah, right.
Not the best nickname.
It's not even that creative, is it?
No.
No, no.
Ironically, it's followed me into different workplaces as well.
Oh, you've still got it?
Yeah, and I don't tell anyone, but it just comes about.
What would you rather be called, Tegan?
Have you ever tried to start your own nickname, you know?
Yeah, well, I usually go by Tegs.
Tegs, yeah.
But Tegel Chicken seems to be the one that sticks.
Tegel Chicken.
What about just Tegels?
Yeah, no, they don't like missing out chicken.
Right, okay.
Free-range Tegan.
Okay, thanks, Tegan.
We appreciate the call.
Scarlett's here. G'day, Scarlett. Hi missing out chicken. Free range Tegan. Okay, thanks, Tegan. We appreciate the call. Scarlett's here.
G'day, Scarlett.
Hi, Scarlett.
Heyo.
Have you got a nickname that you really don't like
that you just can't seem to shake, Scarlett?
Yep.
So my first name's Scarlett,
and my second name is Elizabeth.
And my older brother used to call me Scar-Faced Lizard Breath.
Oh, that's not nice.
That's such an older brother nickname to give somebody, though.
Yeah.
Yeah, exactly.
Quite wishy how he came up with it.
Scar-Faced Lizard Breath.
And does it still hang around?
Is it kind of nice these days?
It's like your little thing between you and your brother?
Yeah, I laugh it off.
He's funny.
Scarlett, have you tried to, you know, counter it with a nickname for him?
Um, not really.
He was called Matt Moo when he was younger, so I used to call him Matt Poo.
Yeah, good.
Yeah, that's good.
Yeah, that's classic.
That's a good counter there.
Yeah, good counter from you, Scarface Lizard Breath.
Okay.
It's very long, though, for a nickname, isn't it?
Yeah, it doesn't roll off the tongue.
You know, like if you went out to support Scarlet at, like, you know,
social netball, you'd be like, come on, Scarface Lizard Breath.
And people would be like, pardon me.
Pardon me?
Excuse me?
Same with the teagle chicken one.
Come on, teagle chicken.
Bree and Clint.
Benson Boone on ZM.
That's In The Stars.
Brianne Clint.
It's time for Google Down.
Google, are you down, down, down, down, down, down, down.
What the hell?
I think Google's actually our Googling competition where we try and find who is the fastest Googler
and everyone in the studio here plays, including Sam.
You're going to play today.
G'day, mate.
Hey.
Now, Sam, have you heard Google down before?
I have every day. Yes, Sam, I
like that. I feel like you could be a
winner. Oh, let's hope.
You could be the one to take down the infamous
producer, Claude.
She's very good. Tell us what we're Googling on today,
Sam.
My iPhone. Not my iPhone, just my
phone. A phone. We'll all use a phone.
Everyone will use a phone to keep it fair.
Here are the rules for everyone else playing along at home.
I have put this exact question into Google.
You need to tell me the answer that comes up for that exact question.
The most common answer, if you're the first person to yell it out,
you will receive a point.
First to three points will take out the title.
Got it.
All right, here we go. Everyone ready?
Ready. Perfect.
Question number one.
What year was the movie
Grease set in?
What year
was the movie? 1959.
Come on.
Producer Ella
thinks she got it, but Clint just got
it over you.
Oh, I thought you were about to give it to Ella.
I was about to throw a big mantra.
No, Clint just got it.
That is one to Clint. Question number two.
How many people live in North Carolina in 2022?
How many people?
One point.
10.69 million.
Ooh.
Do I give it to you?
9,535,483.
No, 10.69 million.
10.69 million.
If that's the answer, you give it to me.
What?
You did start with one.
Yeah, but then I went, oh, because I stuttered. Nah. I said 10.69 million. Nah, here give it to me. What? You did start with one. Yeah, but then I went oh, because I stuttered. Nah.
I said 10.69 million. Nah, there's a
sound effect. A long time before
any of you did. Right, Clint's
going to have a man tantrum
so we'll give it to him. Stupid.
You'll give it to me because I got it.
You did start with another
number. Like you've never
stuttered. Question number three.
At what age did
Albert Einstein
pass away?
At what age?
76. 42.
Producer Claude just got in there.
Ella, I believe you said
72. No, I said 42.
That's very young. Okay, well 42's
very young. Albert Prince concert.
Different person.
Producer Claude just stopping Clint there.
One to Claude, two to Clint.
I agree.
Claudia can have that point.
Thank you, Clint.
Very gracious.
Shush.
I didn't realise Clint was the adjudicator.
How's Sam going, by the way?
I'm struggling.
I'm not going to lie.
Come on, Sam.
Sam, you're in it.
You've been close in a couple.
I believe in you.
Come on.
Here we go.
Question number four.
What is the most popular alcoholic beverage in Italy?
What the heck?
Campari.
I can't say it.
Wait, what did you say, Ellen?
Wine.
Samparino.
What did you say?
C-A-M-P-I-O.
Campari.
I'm going to give it to Claude.
No, that's what I got.
I believe you said something a little bit different.
No, it's Samparino.
I got it here.
Is Campari the most popular alcoholic drink in Italy?
That's what it comes up as.
More popular than wine or beer.
That's what I thought.
Yeah.
Campari.
There you go.
All right, two to Claude, two to Clint.
Sam and Ella yet to get on the board.
Here we go.
Campari's what you have in an Aperol Spritz, right?
Correct, the orange stuff.
There's no way people are having a whole night on that.
Anyway, yep, cool.
Question number five.
How long is the flight from Auckland to Singapore?
I did this.
I literally did this.
10 hours, 40 minutes.
10 hours, 40 minutes. 10 hours, 39 minutes.
Someone has got it right.
I can't believe it.
What did Sam say?
What did you say, Sam?
10 hours, 40 minutes.
Producer Claude has got it with 10 hours, 40 minutes.
That's what comes up for that question.
I'm so mad.
And she has taken out today's game of Google Shouts.
Literally, it's 10.39.
I hate losing.
I have to go with what I get when I put the question in.
I literally did that flight not even a week ago.
I love how Ella decided she would just remember it and not even Google it.
She's like, I've got this.
She was also in Italy a week ago.
You should have remembered Campari as well.
I got it first.
I couldn't pronounce it.
Mate, we're going to give you the 50 KFC chicken dollars
for being a great sport.
We appreciate you.
Thank you very much, guys.
No worries at all.
We need to start Claude on a handicap.
You know, negative one, that's a level of the game.
Ella said once I should put press on like long nails on.
That's a good idea.
Put her in ski gloves. Or
you have to Google on like an old school phone.
Yeah, we should do that next week. Get her a Nokia.
Yeah, let's get her an iPhone 3 or something.
Right, producer Claude still unbeaten
in Google Down. Next on the
show, Taylor Swift is being
targeted in a copyright case, thus
saying she stole part of one of
her biggest songs of all time. Oh, not
one of these cases again. One of these
cases again. We're going to present the evidence
and you can decide next. ZM.
You binge TikTok.
You binge Love Island.
You are a liar,
actress, go the f*** out.
Your next binge, Brianne Clint.
Taylor Swift is having
copyright allegations
brought against her.
They're saying she ripped off one of her biggest songs.
So I say the Bree and Clint courtroom is in session.
I love doing these, the comparisons of a song
where someone said,
hey, that big famous pop star
who's making heaps and heaps of money off that song,
that was my song for this.
Exactly right.
Last person it happened to was Ed Sheeran.
He won his case.
Yep.
But he said it took a huge emotional toll on him.
He said he hated it.
It was really upsetting.
Oh, anytime someone has to go through court, not good.
He said, I am a person, not a corporation.
Robin Thicke went through it, and he lost to Marvin Gaye's estate.
Did he?
Yep. Oh, he was in the thick of it, wasn't he? He blew too many blurred
lines there. And now it's Taylor Swift.
Claude told me
this is not a new case, is it, Claude?
This copyright case has actually been
in the courts since when, producer
Claude? 2017 this has first
come up. So she's been dealing with this
since then? You know what I love about the
court system?
It's real snappy.
It's swift.
Very efficient.
It's very swift, yeah.
She's recently asked for the case to be thrown out.
She said it's preposterous.
It's balderdash.
The judges come back and said,
no, it's not actually.
There's a case to be answered here.
Really?
Okay, so the judges actually said. It's more about the lyrics, this copyright case.
Okay?
The song in question, you will know it. It's Taylor about the lyrics, this copyright case. The song in question, you will know
it, it's Taylor Swift's Shake It Off.
Released in 2014.
Arguably one of Taylor Swift's biggest
songs ever.
Yeah, definitely. She would have made
millions. Changed her whole career.
Took her from country to full-blown pop star.
The songwriters are Sean Hall and Nathan Butler.
They're suing her for the song.
You actually know this song.
It's a 3LW song.
It's called Players Go and Play.
This song right here. Do you know it?
I haven't heard it.
You haven't heard this song?
No.
It's ancient.
It's from 2001.
But they're saying the lyrics are close enough to this.
That they are owed a bunch of royalties
from the Taylor Swift songs.
So there's quite a few years in between each song.
Yes.
Claude was saying there's actually members of 3LW
who are in that group that you'll be familiar with as well.
Right, Claude?
Yeah, I didn't know who this band was
and then I saw a picture of them
and I was like, wait a minute,
that's half of the Cheetah Girls.
Oh, I know the Cheetah Girls.
They were big in my childhood.
They were big.
Yeah, well, this is a banger.
It's catchy.
It's a pretty clear-cut case.
The lyrics are the same.
You just have to decide whether 3LW and those two songwriters
owned the phrase, players gonna play and haters gonna hate.
And this is where I kind of, you know,
that is quite a common thing that people say.
But did 3LW invent it?
Did Sean and Nathan invent it in 2001, that saying?
2001.
Look, I'm going to say they didn't.
And it'd be pretty hard to prove that they did.
I'm just getting my lawyer's hat on.
Yeah, no, it's good.
It's good. Because, I mean,
there is a lot of saying around, you know, don't hate
the player, hate the game. Yes.
You know, and all that kind of stuff. Yeah, but
players gonna play and haters gonna
hate. And then Taylor Swift's
gonna shake, shake, shake. People would be
saying that, you know, in the Bronx.
Yeah, if they can get it over the line,
they are gonna make so much money. Because
this song right here
made so much money.
So you probably would give it a go, wouldn't you?
Yeah, I mean, if you're not up to much else.
I think, you know, if there's anyone that should go after Taylor Swift,
it was Metro Station.
For Shake It.
Which song came first? Miley Cyrus Shake It. Yeah. Which song came first?
Miley Cyrus' brother.
Yeah.
Remember that song?
Metro Station, Shake It.
I mean, that was a banger.
I wonder when that came out.
2007.
Yeah.
Shake, shake, shake, shake, you shake, yeah.
Interesting one to see what happens there.
Bree and Clint.
A pro golfer by the name of Sergio Garcia pulled out of a competition,
the BMW PGA Championship to be exact,
and then he exposed himself on social media.
Oh, he exposed himself?
No, as in exposed his lie.
Oh.
Yeah.
I thought you got his club and golf balls out on.
No, let's hope not.
Instagram story.
It was the five iron.
Was his big driver.
I'm just glad it wasn't the putter.
Oh, we're so immature.
Hole in one.
Look, so apparently he hit a birdie, all right.
Any more?
Eagle?
Something like that.
Landed in the bunker?
Okay, let's move on.
So what happened was is apparently he told the championship organisers
that he was exiting the competition.
Okay.
He was not providing a reason.
He was like, I'm leaving the competition.
I don't want to play.
So it's not like he was injured and he was like, here's my doctor's certificate.
He didn't even say, I need a mental health day.
Or he just didn't say anything and he just kind of left.
He then showed up at the Texas versus Alabama football game in Austin, Texas,
which kicked off on the same day that he left the competition.
And did he post about being there or did someone post a video of him there?
So he took to Instagram to share photos of himself uh at the game with his
wife um and then he was also photographed and interviewed by tv crews right so he wasn't hiding
it he wasn't and i think they're look i don't know because i'm not someone who follows a lot of golf
um i'll be honest um but I believe there was some controversy around
the championship and
it not being well organised, or I'm not too
sure. Right, either way, he was getting paid
to show up and play golf, and they would
have sold tickets going, X amount of
players are here, come and see Sergio
Garcia. Yeah. And he's like,
I'm not coming. Piss it off. I'm taking
my wife to the football game. I'm going to go have a hot
dog. And I get that.
I get that.
Everybody does that from time to time.
But you've got to be more, you've got to cover your tracks better.
Like he shouldn't have posted it on social media.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
Because I'm sure he'd have a contract and, you know,
stayed all the stuff that he couldn't come to.
He stitched himself up, yeah.
It got me thinking about times, because, I mean,
it's a hard day we live in to get away with things with social media.
Yeah, you've got a digital paper trail everywhere you go.
Because even if, you know, say you call in sick,
say there's a festival on and this is just totally hypothetical,
I mean, situation, but say there's a music festival on
and you really want to go and you chuck a sickie and you're like, right,
I just can't post anything on social media.
Easy.
Yeah.
But just because you're not posting on social media
doesn't mean the thousands of other people aren't posting
that are at that festival.
I had this exact experience.
I went to the Urban Polo in Christchurch with former producer Ben.
Yes.
And one of Ben's friends.
Okay.
Ben's friend is a nurse.
Right.
He tracked a sickie that day.
To go to the polo.
To come to the polo.
Because Ben said, oh, come with us.
We've got a special area at the polo.
There'll be some free beers.
You don't want to miss this day.
And he didn't want to miss this day.
And he came with us. Gotcha.
He realised at the end of the day
that I had been putting our whole day
on Instagram. How did he not
realise that at the start of the day?
Someone messaged him and they said
hey, are you at the urban
polo with Clint from ZM?
You know you called in sick.
So yeah,
he just didn't realise.
He didn't post anything about it,
but it was by virtue of the fact that he was in the background of someone else's social media that got him busted.
I mean, there's people that get busted cheating on other people.
In the background of things at parties, yeah.
Yeah, like in Snapchat, someone might be filming
and someone's kissing someone else in the background
and then someone's cousin's hairdresser's sister sees it on their Snapchat.
Greenshots it, sends it to the partner.
And then sends it, yeah.
Yeah, exactly right.
I thought we could ask this afternoon on 0800DIALZM,
have you been caught out on social media?
And it can be for anything, like a bunch of different reasons.
It can be for maybe hanging out with a person that you weren't meant to be at the time.
It could be cheating.
It could be because you chucked a sickie
and someone posted you having a great time.
It could be for having an item or a piece of clothing
that you said you didn't have anymore
and then someone sees you wearing it on Instagram.
This happened with me and my sister.
Exactly right.
She goes, did you take that dress that I told you you cannot wear?
Yeah. And I was like, nah. She goes, you you take that dress that I told you you cannot wear? Yeah.
And I was like, nah.
She goes, you posted it on your social media.
I was like, oh, no, I bought the same one.
Bree and Clint.
Has social media caught you or someone you know out?
And it can be a bunch of different things.
It's just in a lie, really.
Yeah, it is.
It's busted you a lie.
It's busted you in a lie, really. Yeah, it is. It's busted you a lie. It's busted you in a lie.
Look, I feel like this is something our generation kind of has had to navigate.
We've had to pioneer it.
We've never had, nobody in history has been filmed as much as our generation.
Yeah.
You know, so much of our lives have never been captured before.
Correct.
It just wasn't a thing.
And we want to hear your stories this afternoon on 0800DIALZM. Harmon's here. Hey, Harmon. G'day, Harmon.
Oh, hi. Can you hear me? Yeah, we can hear you. Was it you that was caught
out or someone you know? It's actually me.
So it was my wedding. So what
happened was, like, I didn't invite my bunch of friends there.
Oh, no.
Sorry, because it was happening in Wellington,
so I was in Auckland, so I just went there.
Yeah.
So what happened then, I called in a photographer and a videographer.
Yeah.
So they just filmed the whole thing and take photos
and they posted on their Instagram story.
Okay.
So one of my friends saw that and then he just
did one of the pictures with that.
He's like, is that you?
I was like, yeah.
He's like, hey, Harmon,
did you not invite us to your bloody wedding, mate?
Harmon, can I ask?
Can I ask?
How did you think your friends
were not going to find out about your wedding?
Forgetting about the video,
forgetting about the social media,
how did you think your friends
were not going to figure out that you were married?
Well, I didn't.
Well, they're not very close friends of mine.
And they were like.
He wasn't going to wear a ring around them.
It's easy.
Harman's aloof.
Okay.
Simple.
All right.
Busted, Harman.
Thank you for the call.
Someone texted through and they said,
I went to a concert a couple of months back and was told by a friend that she couldn't make it to the concert with me.
So I had to try and sell my second ticket, which didn't work out.
I got to the concert and was on Facebook whilst waiting in line to get inside to see a photo of her and her boyfriend also in the same line waiting to get into the concert.
What a lying bee.
What a little bee.
She cost you money.
She just didn't want to go with you.
I'd be ropeable. Yeah.
I'd be so annoyed. What an idiot having a photo
on Facebook. Michelle's here. Hi, Michelle.
Hi, Michelle. Hello.
Did you get busted by... I'm actually called to
talk to you guys. Oh, well, it's cool to talk to you
too. We're excited to talk to you, Michelle.
Tell us, was it you or someone you know that got busted
by social media? Well, it was
me.
It was actually, I believe, something to do with ZM and stuff as well.
Oh, what did we do?
So when I was at uni, I used to work at the mall,
and I had pulled a sticky to go along to a onesie party at uni.
So it was like that sort of time frame of things when we used to have onesie parties.
And I had told all my friends what I'd
done so they knew not to take any pictures and things.
But at some point we had got
into a group photo that ended up
on like the ZM Facebook.
Did you go on the ZM fame frame?
Yep.
And my boss
had come across this album of people
in onesies and looked through it and come across
her staff member who was meant to be at work but said she was sick.
Oh, Michelle, this is when you just...
I wasn't aware of this until, yeah,
she slid the picture across to me on the table at a fancy meeting.
Oh, Michelle, you...
Oh, they printed out the photo.
Yeah.
It's a bit passive-aggressive, isn't it, Michelle?
I'd just say, well, joke's on you, big boss,
because I've got a twin sister.
And you never ask me about my family, hence why you don't know about her.
That person in the onesie, that's actually my twosie.
You've never met her.
It's not me.
It's my identical twin.
Well, we apologise on behalf of ZM, Michelle.
Yeah, we're sorry, Michelle.
Hey, a lot of texts coming through.
Someone said a guy I worked with called in sick one day and went snowboarding,
arrived back to work the next day with serious goggle sunburn.
Rather obvious that
what he got up to on his day off. Yeah, that'll
do it. Someone else said my friend broke up
with his girlfriend and asked for his belongings
back. He asked for his chain
that was very important to him
back. She insisted and
argued that she didn't have it. Two weeks
later, she posted an Instagram
post with her new boyfriend wearing
my friend's exact chain.
She'd re-gifted your chain.
That's horrible.
Finally, Brad, when did social media
get you caught out?
About
12 years ago, I got my first
tattoo on my arm and it's a
arm slash shoulder tattoo. It's a arm-left shoulder tattoo.
Oh, it's quite a big arm piece, Brad.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I got it probably on a Wednesday night after work.
And on that Saturday, it was a great day.
Beautiful weather, you know, singling it out.
Sunny.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And one of my sister's friends was friends with the tattooist.
You know, pitching, you know, taking photos all day.
And there's me in a photo, sunburned as,
with the tattoo after he told me to, you know, keep it nice,
clean, look after it, keep it covered for a week or so.
And, yeah, two days later, he takes me, kind of all this abuse,
saying, I'm never tattooing you again because I saw these photos,
lights me and all this stuff. I'm never tattooing you again because I saw these photos and lights me and all this stuff.
I'm never tattooing you again.
Man, he has taken this way too personally.
Was the tattoo artist also your dad?
I was going to say.
No, he was a bit of a professional, but he did it out of his own home.
Right.
He was so offended.
He was very offended.
No, he cared about his artwork.
And how did the tattoo heal, Brad?
I'm interested.
To be honest, we have it lumpy, but it's been covered up.
So he was right, Brad.
He was right.
Very funny.
Earlier in the show, we played Lizzo's incredible speech
from her Emmy Award acceptance yesterday.
I think it's worth playing it again.
I think it's such a good message in that speech.
If you missed it, this is what Lizzo said yesterday. I think it's worth playing it again. I think it's such a good message in that speech. If you missed it, this is what Lizzo said yesterday. When I was a little girl
all I wanted to see was
me in the media. Someone
fat like me,
black like me,
beautiful like me.
If I could go back and
tell little Lizzo something, I'd be like
you're going to see that person,
but bitch is going to have to be you.
God bless y'all.
This is for the big girls.
L-I-Z-Z-O-P-I-G-G-G-R-L-S.
We the best.
Hey.
I'll be honest, all I got was Lizzo out of that bitch.
She was spelling.
Yeah, I don't know what was last.
I appreciate the energy, though.
Yes, I love her.
Big heart, yeah.
It's my birthday.
It's my birthday.
Free and clean.
Birthday banger.
All right, here we go.
Birthday banger.
Let's get you home for a Wednesday.
Three people.
What song was top in the charts on their 16th birthdays?
We're going to play one of those songs.
Ben's going to kick it off.
Hi, Ben.
G'day, Benny.
Hey, how's it going?
Benny and the Jets.
Would you be happy with that song as your birthday banger?
No.
Not an Elton John fan?
Oh, no, it'd be fine.
Could be good.
Remember our producer, Ben, huge Elton John fan,
doesn't like Benny and the Jets either.
Yeah.
Maybe it's because their name is Ben.
Maybe.
They're sick of it, you know?
And they're sick of hearing it. Yeah. Everyone goes Benny and the Jets. Yeah, well Maybe it's because their name is Ben. Maybe. They're sick of it, you know? And they're sick of hearing it.
Yeah.
Everyone goes Benny and the Jets.
Yeah.
Well, sorry about that, Ben.
We apologise.
I'm not sorry.
I'm not sorry, Ben.
I'm just kidding.
Sorry, Ben.
Say sorry.
Sorry, Ben.
Hey, what's your birthday, Ben?
5th of December, 1995.
All right.
That means you were 16 in 2011.
And we're hoping not for Benny and the Jets.
Let's see what you got.
About as far from Benny and the Jets as you can get.
Calvin Harris, that's a banger, right, Ben?
Yeah, that's good.
Absolute banger.
Arguably one of Rihanna's biggest songs ever.
And Calvin Harris's as well.
Niba is here.
Kia ora, Niba.
Hi, Niba.
Hi, Nibs.
How are you?
Good, thanks.
How are you guys?
Good, thank you, Niba.
What's your birthday?
9th of February, 83.
All right, that means you were 16 in 1999.
And let me take you back to your 16th birthday
because this would have been number one.
You knew it was going to be this.
Wow.
Do you remember that one, Niva?
Yeah.
You must have a good memory
because that is 23 years old, that song.
Oh, don't say that.
Did you have to bring that up?
Yeah.
Yeah, shush. Hey, you've got a great one, that song. Oh, don't say that. Did he have to bring that up? Yeah. Yeah, shush.
Hey, you've got a great one, Niba.
It's a great birthday banger.
Wait there, we'll do one more for Zina.
Kia ora, Zina.
Hi, Zina.
Hey.
Hi, how are you?
Good, how's your day been?
Not bad, thanks.
Not bad.
Is your Zina spelt like the warrior princess with an X?
No, unfortunately not.
I'm too old.
Oh, you got Z like Zorro.
Yeah, yeah.
Okay.
So you came before Zina the Warrior Princess.
I was the original.
Yeah, good.
We like that.
The originals.
What's your birthday, Zina?
2nd of January, 1978.
All right.
That means you were 16 in 1994.
And for Zina the Capricorn, this would have been number one.
Oh, motivational banger, Zena.
Do you remember that one, Zena?
I do remember it, yeah,
but I think I prefer Britney.
Yeah, okay.
Because what?
She prefers Britney.
Okay. All right, before we let you go, can you do the Zena yeah, but I think I prefer Britney. Yeah, okay. Because what? She prefers Britney. Okay.
All right, before we let you go, can you do the Xena scream, Xena?
Not bad at all.
Xena, I'm so impressed.
That is not easy to do.
I bet she's been asked to do that a few times.
Yeah, she's like, I'm going to practice this.
Everyone asks me to bloody do it.
Wait there, Xena.
It's out of you, Niba and Ben.
I think Xena is right, and I think the winner is me to bloody do it. Wait there, Zena. It's out of you, Niba, and Ben. I think Zena is right,
and I think the winner is Britney Spears this afternoon.
From 1999.
Yeah.
It's either that or Calvin Harris.
Yeah, go on, Britney.
Britney?
Go on.
From the first note.
Niba.
Niba, well done.
Taking it out.
Coming straight out of 1999,
here's the winner of Birthday Banger on ZM.
Oh, baby, baby, how was I supposed to know
That something wasn't right here
Oh, baby, baby, I shouldn't have let you go
And now you're out of sight
Show me how you want it to be
Tell me, baby
Brie and Clint
Don't you know I still believe
That you will be here
And give me a sign
Hit me baby one more time
Zidim, Brian Clay, the winner of Birthday Banger from 1999
as Britney Spears' Baby One More Time.
She was 18 years old when that song came out.
I got really into that Birthday Banger.
I was singing like a real intense version of the song.
Really?
Yeah.
I had my headphones on.
Oh, you couldn't hear it?
Nah.
But the microphone was recording, so we can get that.
You got it?
You got the footage?
No, that's not fair.
You're good to go.
That's not fair.
Not fair to put someone, you know, if you're belting it out in the car,
which is essentially what I was doing.
Yeah.
But you're not in a car.
You're in a room full of microphones.
Producer Ella Watt.
That will go on TikTok very soon.
No.
So Bree and Clint, TikTok.
And us, baby.
I'm so glad.
I've been waiting to be really embarrassed on the internet for some time.
You're welcome.
Bree and Clint.
Look, I'm not a maths person, Clint.
I never have been.
I took the basic maths at school.
Cabbage maths, we decided yesterday.
No, I was the one above that.
But there's nothing wrong with cabbage maths.
Thank you very much.
You learn about tax.
You're very defensive for someone who wasn't in cabbage maths.
I was good at English.
English was my subject, okay?
But hey, I've got an amazing calculation
and this is going to blow your freaking mind.
So have you tested this
calculation? I've tested it. Are you nervous about doing it live on the radio? Nah. Nah,
you good? I've tested it. Okay. I think, I don't know how to explain what the calculation is, but
essentially this year, 2022, I believe is the only year we can do the calculation. Right. Okay. Right. So put, no, you don't need to do it.
All right.
I've got this covered.
So what I'm going to do is I'm going to do this calculation and we're going to end up
with your age.
Yeah.
Either what your, your age is right now or the age you're turning this year.
Right.
At the end of this calculation, which is how old are you right now? Uh, well, do I give that away? Yeah. Right. Okay. I'm 35. Right. At the end of this calculation, which is how old are you right now? Well,
do I give that away? Yeah. Right. Okay. I'm 35. Okay. You're 35. So that's the number we're
looking for, which is going to be the last two numbers of a certain number. Anyway, let's just
do it. I'm excited. Right. Okay. So we start with Clint's shoe size. My shoe size? Yes. Okay. 12.
So 12. So we're going to put in 12 to the calculator. Yeah. So
we put in 12 and then you add two zeros to that number. Okay. Okay. 1200. So we end up with 1200.
Yeah. But we've started with your shoe size, which is just random. Specific to me. Isn't it?
Okay. So now from that number, 1200, we're going to minus the year you were born. Right. Okay. Which is? 1987. 1987.
Yep. Equals. And then from there. Negative 787. From there, we're going to plus the year it
currently is. 2022. Okay. Yep. Add 2022. So the number that comes up, right?
I'm not going to press it yet, but the number that comes up,
the last two numbers at the end of that number is going to be your age, 35.
Okay.
That's what we're looking for.
All right.
Okay?
So from this, it will show up.
The last two numbers of the number that comes up.
Yeah.
All right.
Okay.
What the? That's my shoe size and the year that I was born. What? So maybe you say, okay, well that might be lucky. Should we do me?
Let's do you. And I'm going to do it on my calculator this time. Okay. So my shoe size. Yep. 10. 10. Plus two zeros
so it'll be a thousand. Plus two zeros.
Yep. Minus 1989
the year I was born. Wait, hang on. 10 plus
zero zero. Yep.
Minus. I've got to add zero zero. Okay, yep.
You can't. I thought I was meant
to be the bad one. Okay, I've got a thousand.
Minus what? Minus 1989
so the year I was born. 1989
your favourite Taylor Swift album.
Correct.
Yeah.
Plus the year it currently is, 20.
Plus 2022.
And the last two numbers of whatever number that comes up.
It's your shoe size and the year that you were born.
Two.
To be fair, I mean, I'm not a mathlete,
but we did put the shoe size in and we did put, like, the year.
Like, we have put your...
Still.
We have put your age in.
Mate, just take it...
Like, you have put in the year that you were born and the year that it is, which does tell you what your age is.
Just take it for what it is.
I'm just saying...
Albert Einstein that thing.
Next, I'm going to come up with the theory of what something Albert Einstein did.
Relativity.
That's the one.
Bree and Clint.
I didn't own a Barbie.
No.
No?
Did you own a Ken?
No, I didn't have a Ken.
Not a fan of Ken?
I had G.I. Joe's.
G.I. Joe's.
I had Action Man.
Yeah, yeah, my brothers had Action Man.
Yeah.
I also had lots of Barbies.
I was a big fan growing up.
I had Barbies, Kens.
Sometimes Barbie and Ken kissed.
Did they?
Yep.
Well, it's the first foray into that sort of stuff, isn't it?
It is.
It is.
For kids.
You can put your figurines in whatever situation you like.
Yeah, look, no comment, which is what I said to my mum when she asked me certain questions.
Yeah, right.
My action men put my sister's Barbie on the barbecue. which is what I said to my mum when she asked me certain questions. Yeah, right.
My action men put my sister's Barbie on the barbecue.
Did they?
Yeah, like a fake barbecue.
Right.
They barbecued her.
Looking back, that's a bit psychopathic, isn't it?
That's a little bit.
I think it was more about putting Barbie on the Barbie is more what it was about.
Yeah, okay.
Let's just go with that because we'll all feel safer.
Created in 1959, Barbie was, and she's had over 200 different costumes in her day.
Okay.
And I saw this story about Barbie because obviously she's still a very popular doll.
She's about to be even more popular again with that movie.
Super, super popular.
Margot Robbie.
Margot Robbie plays Barbie, yeah.
But this article was talking about um
Barbie's full name yeah and what her actual real name is because Barbie is her nickname I've never
thought about Barbie having a full name neither have I yeah um but the co-creator um Ruth Handler's
daughter uh was actually the inspiration behind Barbie.
Yeah.
And Barbie is named after her daughter.
Barbara.
Correct.
Okay, so we've got that much.
So Barbie's real first name is Barbara.
Middle name, Millicent, which I'm not sure why it doesn't say.
Millicent, yeah.
Millicent.
Last name, Roberts.
My last name.
Barbara Millicent Roberts.
Barbie is a Roberts.
Yeah.
Oh, my God.
Turns out that's awkward for you.
Didn't you hook up with Barbie back in the day?
Oh, no.
Oh, no, that's awkward.
I was coming at it from a more cute angle.
Now when I buy Barbie dolls for my daughters,
I can tell them honestly that they
have the same last name as barbie yeah or it's your auntie it's your auntie um apparently ken
was also named after the co-creator's son yeah um so ken's real name is kenneth is he a roberts as
well i'm not sure it doesn't say that's extra awkward when he was pashing barbie you want to
do a ancestry.com test before you carry on with that relationship. You do, don't you?
Because they already look kind of similar.
You know, they've both got blonde hair, blue eyes.
They've got the same downstairs mound as well.
There's something weird going on down there.
Yeah, I'd be checking that out.
But there you go, Barbie's...
I've got one for you, by the way.
I've just Googled what Action Man's real name is.
What was his real name?
Have you ever thought about Action Man having a name?
I had a crush on Action Man.
Well, you had a crush on Matthew Ixler.
Yeah, Matthew, you hot piece.
Brian Clint, he's...
Now get in your dinghy and get away from this situation.
Brian Clint.
From Medusa, Ali Dua, James Carter, Fast Boy,
the Burger King's probably in there too.
How many people are you allowed to have on songs these days?
I feel like it's blowing up.
Is there that many?
There was four.
Four people on that song.
I mean, you know.
Meduza, Ellie Dewey, James Carter and Fastboy.
I feel like it's too many once you get past three.
Correct.
In multiple situations in life.
Start crediting everybody.
You're like, oh, plus the lady who comes and vacuums the studio after us.
Yeah, once you go past three, there's too many limbs and other things to think about.
Yeah.
Well, that's enough from the Brie, Clint, Claudia, Ella, and Ross Boss show.
I reckon we hang it up here.
That's enough for the day.
