Yes. All right, let's get out of here. Here's the podcast. See you guys tomorrow. Bye. I'm coming in. Well, howdy, pilgrims. ZM's Brie and Clint.

With guest host Maddie McLean. Afternoon, everybody. Welcome to the show. Brie and Clint with Maddie filling in for Brie. You're here till Monday, I think. Correct, yeah. So a few more days. Yeah, welcome to the show. Bree and Clint with Maddie filling in for Bree. You're here till Monday I think? Correct, yeah. So a few more days. Yeah, just double dipping it.

Maddie's tag teaming both ends of the day at the moment. And it's not like it's a light news week either. It is one of the most hectic news cycles that we've had in a very long time. So you must be knackered. Yeah, I'm running on adrenaline and a lot of coffee at the moment. Yes, yeah. Some of those pitches that continue to come out are just mind-blowing. Listening to the news just then,

they were talking about the fuel shortage in the Hawke's Bay. I thought, well, surely there's enough fuel there. I didn't even think about the fact that the petrol station... Are underwater. It's either underwater or it has no power. Yeah, right. So they need power to run the pumps that bring the petrol up from underground. And if you don't have any power, you can't pump any fuel. And it's those flow-on effects.

It's the power that's affecting the communications lines as well because the cell phone towers need power to be able to generate the lines and they don't have power either. I thought of all these cell towers as being down, but they're down because they have no power. And for so many of them, they're in places that can't be reached still. So the linesman can't actually get to them to figure it out. So man, it's just crazy.

Plus it's everywhere. So right, we're going to try and talk to Jenny Mae Clarkson, your co-host from Breakfast, who's down there. She's in Gisborne at the moment. And she, man, she was on air this morning and people were coming up to her and saying, can you please just put a message out to my whānau, to my family, to let them know that I'm alive. I haven't been able to reach them.

They can't call each other. Yeah. And you just hope that it gets to them via the TV or the internet. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, it's tough. We will keep you across any updates that come with that this afternoon. We're also going to try and just lift your spirits a bit because I think we need a bit of cheering up, right?

We're definitely going to do that. And we're going to do that with a bit of star power today. Paul Rudd is on the show. Ant-Man. Maddie and I were lucky enough to catch up with him last week and we'll bring you our interview with Paul Rudd just after five o'clock this afternoon. We also have some incredible prizes to give away. We've got Two Degrees group chat again just after four o'clock. We're going to call the winner of the Treasure Island Fans vs Faves competition. Correct.

At about five o'clock. Yeah, it's all going on. So let's kick things off with our game of tradie vs lady. The scores are level. It is at 11 all. The tradies have not gone ahead at all in 2023. Wow. Could happen today or the ladies could push the lead back out.

And all the points Congratulations Olivia You've just scored 50 bucks Cash from KFC And a Tradiverse Lady victory Awesome thank you Let's talk Netflix for a second A lot of people

Around the country This week especially, will have been kicked off their parents' Netflix account. They got the notification, the dreaded notification popped up on the screen and said, uh-uh. You don't live at the house. You might have moved out at the beginning of this year to go to

uni. You might have moved out 10 years ago and still be logged into your parents' Netflix account. Doesn't matter. They want you off it. And they're going to get their way too unless you go home to your parents house once a month and log into their home wi-fi account you're not going to be able to use it dick move from Netflix but we got we're going through enough all right I was reading um something today from a family psychologist by the name of um Gaynor Parkin who has tried to suggest how long parents should

be expected to financially support their children. And by that I mean paying for their Netflix account, maybe paying for their petrol, paying their rent, paying their phone bill, whatever it is. She's kind of tried to go, cool, if we're having

this conversation about Netflix, let's have it about everything. Right. And maybe try and figure out when you cut the umbilical cord. She hasn't really nailed it down, but let's have a talk about something. And I know this is a sensitive topic. I know for a lot of people listening right now,

you're like, do not give my parents any motivation to cut me off. It's a cost of living crisis. Okay, just shut up. First of all, she said, she's tried to address what the rules are around paying your children's bills. She said that as a parent now in 2023, like if you've got adult kids, there is a cost of living crisis. And if you want them to go to uni, it's so expensive that the reality is that you have

to financially support them. If you want them to go to uni or study a trade you have to chip in because otherwise the only alternative is they just get into heaps and heaps of debt totally

and then the goals just get further and further away yeah so did you hear that they have to support you yeah you can use that

support you because then it gets you out of the house faster that too it's a means to an end. Exactly. They could support you into a really well paying job and set their own future up.

You know? You're like, wait, I'm going to study. I'm going to study. Whenever I try to think of a silly course, the only one that comes to mind is, remember where we went to broadcasting school? I know exactly what you're about to say. The circus school?

Yeah, there was a clown school. At our polytechnic, there was a- Really popular, too. Yeah, really popular. There was an actual clown school there. Imagine telling your parents you want to go to clown school. She's also said, what's the right age to tell the kids they're too old

to mooch off you any longer? She said that parents should have a conversation about what's realistic for their family. We'd love to pay for X, Y, and Z at the moment, but we can only afford to pay for X or Y. Maybe you could choose one of them. You know, do it slowly. She can't agree that there's a right age,

but she said just have the conversation gently. That's what she said. And finally, she said, this is a good warning. This is the warning signs to watch out for that your parents are going to cut you off. How do I tell my parents that I'm cutting them off?

Even just from the Netflix subscription. She said, give them plenty of warning by saying things like, our cost of living has gone up as well, and we're doing our best to support you. But look, we're trying to save for our retirement, which is BS, because I know how many properties you guys have got.

Yeah, exactly. I know how much the value of your house has gone up. And that superannuation is tidy. She said, again, don't shock the kids too much. Don't pick a week where their afterpay is coming out of their account or something like that. Otherwise, you might unintentionally push the kids into, and you can use this threat against your parents,

you might push them into doing OnlyFans. Very lucrative. Mum. Very lucrative. But that's actually a good threat. Yeah. You don't want me to do foot stuff on the internet. You've got to keep paying for my Neon account.

Yeah. That sort of thing. I thought we could ask the question right now, and it will take some brave people to come forward and say this, so we can keep you anonymous. What are your parents still paying for? Oh, good. Or what are your parents threatening not to pay for anymore?

Like, what are they going to cut you off from? Yeah. Or what have your parents just stopped paying for? How does the bank of mum and dad work in your family? And be honest, do you know that you're pushing the limits? Yeah, yeah, yeah. But mum, I'm just a little baby. Yeah.

No, you're a 45-year-old man. We've asked you the question, what are your parents still paying for? What are you willing to admit that your parents parents still paying for? What are you willing to admit that your parents are still paying for? Someone texted and said, my parents pay my life insurance because they would inherit my child

if anything happened to me. They've been paying it since I was 18. I'm now 33. So I guess that's their life insurance policy. Their insurance policy basically saying, if you die and we get your child... We need some money. Yeah, we need some cash. We're all of a sudden parents again. Yeah, okay. Well, that's a good insurance policy basically saying if you die and we get your child... We need some money. Yeah, we need some cash.

We're all of a sudden parents again. Yeah, okay. Well, that's a good way of doing it. If they're willing to pay for it, that's a great way of doing it. I know lots of parents who pay their kids car insurance because they know that if they don't, they won't get car insurance and then they'll have a car crash and they'll come back and they'll go, I can't afford to fix this car or the car that I crashed into, so help me.

Someone asked us to text and said, my parents were awesome growing up because they used to give me a loan and then charge me interest rates on top of that, but it was cheaper than an actual bank loan. Oh, yeah. So they were still charging them interest for the loan, but it was a way cheaper way of doing it.

So they were quite literally the bank of mum and dad. Yeah, the bank of mum and dad. The official cash rate goes up and they ring you and they're like, oh, have you seen the news? Have you seen what the Reserve Bank's done? I'm sorry, we're going to have to bump your interest rate. Don't blame me, blame Adrian Orr. Siobhan's here.

Hi, Siobhan. Hi, how are you? Good, how are you doing? Good, thank you. What do your mum and dad still pay for? My mum and dad still pay for my car insurance, but everything else was cut off at 18, so I had to pay for my own...

I was told I had to pay for my health insurance. I had to pay for my own car insurance. I lived with them and I had to pay rent, everything like that. So why... From the day you turned 18? Wow. Yep.

They didn't, right, okay. So how did the car insurance sneak through the cracks then? No, so they pay for the health insurance, my health insurance. Oh, they pay health insurance. Right. Yeah. Are you tempted to duck in for a bit of surgery? No, it's only basic stuff, unfortunately.

Wait, here's the question. Do they know they're still paying for that or is that just a sneaky thing? That's such a good question. I don't know, to be honest. Don't ask. No, they do know because I have the money. I know what Maddie's saying, though.

They may have so many just direct debits. If it's loaded into their health insurance, a lot of the time it happens with phone bills, too. Like, it's like a family plan. Yes. And they forget that your phone number is on the family plan. Yes, exactly. So you just never bring it up.

Yeah, exactly. But the funny thing is, like, I'd still pay things for my brother, but not me. Oh, double standard. Yeah, 100%. And, like, it's not like we're different ages. We're twins. Oh, you're twins.

So why do you think he gets his stuff paid for and you don't? Because I'm better with money, I'm pretty sure. It's not your fault that you're better with money. No, no, but yeah. I can't complain because I somehow managed still to buy a house at 21, so I can't complain. Another 21-year-old who bought a house. What's going on?

This is our second 21-year-old in 15 minutes that we've talked to who bought a house. Just what I was going to say, just don't go to university and you'll be sweet. Great advice, Siobhan. Time for the latest. From iHeartRadio, this is The Latest. Big news in the TV world today. Two really big shows announcing new seasons.

One that I'm particularly excited about, Bridgerton, which we all know and love. Did you get into Bridgerton? Season one? Yes.

I didn't do season two of Bridgerton. Season two was very good. Was it? Yeah, very good. It's such a guilty pleasure, that show. You have to go,

yeah, I know it's, I know what it is. I know what I'm going to get. So each season of Bridgerton is going to focus on a different member of the same family. Right. This isn't actually about the Bridgerton series as a whole. This is about a spin-off series that they're creating, which is going to focus on the early years of Queen Charlotte,

the queen in the main Bridgerton series. Right. Okay. So it's going to follow her when she was younger, kind of in her early 20s. Yeah. And follow her love story as well. So like the crown, but not real. Exactly.

Yeah. Yeah. So you're going to get glimpses of the queen, who's like such an iconic character in Bridgerton as she was a younger royal. All right, that's a Netflix one. When does that drop? Do we know? Spring 2023,

which I'm assuming they mean spring in the Northern Hemisphere. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So in the next couple of months. Okay, that's our autumn. The other big one announced today is the return date for season three of Ted Lasso. I love Ted Lasso.

Actually, so do I. Apple TV Plus is where you see Ted Lasso. And March 15, the new season's going to drop. So it's one month away. The trailer is good. It doesn't tell you anything about the new season, though. It doesn't tell you any of the storyline whatsoever. But it does show you that all the cast that you care about,

Jamie is there. Everybody that you love about Ted Lasso is there for this new season. Well, they kind of left you on a cliffhanger last time because his assistant manager, I can't remember the character's name, has gone rogue. Yes. It was such a big twist at the end of it.

Such a big twist. So Jason Sudeikis is back for Ted Lasso season three on March 15. That's the latest. Last night's episode was very dramatic though. For a lot of reasons. For a lot of reasons. For a lot of reasons. Double elimination?

No, just a single elimination, but truly the most dramatic elimination battle I've seen. Yeah. We have no power at our house, so I haven't seen the episode yet, but what I have seen on Instagram is the clip going around of you carking it. Yeah, I had a medical emergency. Yeah, so talkarking it. Yeah, I had, I sparked a medical emergency. Yeah. So talk me through it.

You're playing a game, it looks like a pretty endurance based game. So it was, it was an endurance challenge where we had to sit on a platform and we had to hold

up a plank of wood with just our feet in front of us. Okay. And it was basically whoever could keep the plank of wood upright

for the longest would win. And it was basically whoever could keep the plank of wood upright for the longest would win. Yeah. And it was gruelling. It was a really hard challenge and it went on and on. How long do you think you lasted? I know how long I lasted. I lasted 45 minutes. Right.

That's a long time. Yeah. To hold any position, that's a long time. The winner, Lance, who won, was there for another half an hour after that. Did he beat Art? He beat Art. Yeah.

That's impressive. Was it those two at the end? It was those two at the end, and I don't think it was, I think it was decided between the two of them who was going to walk away with that victory last night. Right, okay, yeah, they would both hate to lose. Yes. Although when you got up to walk away, you collapsed.

So what happened was, all I remember is, I remember sitting, I was obviously in the challenge and gradually I just started to feel more and more nauseous. Like I felt like I was going to throw up. And I remember turning to Lana, who was on my team, who was sitting next to me and saying, I don't feel right. Something's not right here.

I've got to get out. Yeah. And I was gutted because I felt like I was doing really well until that point. But I thought, I've just got to put my health first. So I dropped out of the challenge after 45 minutes and I stood up and all of a sudden I just kind of stumbled forward.

You fell into Bree's arms. Yeah. If you haven't seen it, here's a little bit of the audio of last night's episode Bree's arms. Yeah. We've got a bit, if you haven't seen it, here's a little bit of the audio of last night's episode of Treasure Islands. Okay. Yeah. Lean on me.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Help, help, help, help. Oh, my God. There you go. You okay? Oh, God. You okay? You're fine.

I had you. I caught you. You just fainted It's okay Nice deep breaths Oh That's never happened to me before So scary Really scary

Thank god for Bree She saved you She's my actual hero You went fully Limp I was I was full on damsel in distress Yeah

Your legs went out from under you Your arms flopped to the side. You would have face planted and eaten it if it wasn't for Brie. Is it the first time I've ever fainted? I was going to say, is that really the first time you've fainted? I've never fainted before.

Really? I've felt faint, but I've never actually... Not even when they used to reveal the Cleo Bachelor of the Year calendar? I swooned. Yeah, but not faint. I didn't faint. You always open the calendar sitting down.

Yeah. We brought this up today because we're going to ask people where they were when they fainted and what it was that caused you to faint. Especially if it's a weird, interesting, unique place that you've fainted before. Our Delicate Flower producer, Ella, said,

oh my God, I have fainted so many times. How many times have we been talking here, Ella? More than 10. More than 10? Mm-hmm. Why? I think I went through a period of my life where I was just around lots of, this sounds bad, but blood.

I went to a hospital at one point and then I bumped my elbow, fainted from there. Eyesight. Oh, if people are too close to me, I wouldn't breathe properly. Faint. Someone was doing my makeup once and I fainted from there. Eye sight. Oh, if people are too close to me, I wouldn't breathe properly. Faint. Someone was doing my makeup once and I fainted. Right. Do you know how we tease you about being vegan and we say that you're iron deficient a lot? Yeah.

Do you reckon you should get it checked? Yeah, definitely. But I don't want a blood test. Really? Because I'll faint. It's a real chicken egg situation, isn't it? To check her blood, her iron, we need to get her blood. And I'll faint. And she'll faint.

And then she'll faint, yeah. And I'm honestly out for three weeks like I feel like I'm on a boat afterwards. Wow. Where's the weirdest place you would have fainted? Either getting my eyebrows threaded or at an eye getting my eyes checked. At a mall. I don't understand this. What is it about having someone close to you

that makes you faint? I think I'm just not breathing. So now, I haven't fainted for a couple of years now and it's because I realise breathe and have water. That's why I always have water on me. Breathe. Breathe. Breathing is key. I'm so pleased that at age

22, you've learnt to breathe. Well done, Ella. Thank you guys. Big step. Big step. It's not even take deep breaths, it's don't forget to actually breathe. Well done, Ella. Thank you, guys. Big step. It's not even take deep breaths. It's don't forget to actually breathe. Ella's got the record 10. You don't have to be a constant fainter to have

a good fainting story that you want to share with us this afternoon. Where and when is your most dramatic, most interesting fainting story that you want to share with us? We'd love to hear from you. I have fainted before and when I sort of came to, I was really panicked dramatic, most interesting fainting story that you want to share with us. Yeah, we'd love to hear from you. Bree and Clint. I have fainted before, and when I sort of came to, I was really panicked.

And I was like, I didn't know what's happened. I didn't know, how did I get in this situation? How did I get in this position? Is that the same thing that happened for you? Very much so. It felt like, yeah, it felt like waking up from a dream. Yeah. But you don't remember going to sleep.

Yeah, yeah. Do you know what I mean? Yeah. It was so weird. I had the same experience waking up from anaesthetic when I had an operation last year. I just remember going, where am I? Who are you? Who are you?

She's like, I'm the nurse. Chill, babes. Chill. You're fine. We want to know, where and when did you faint? Amy is texting, and we've called her back because it's a great story. Hi, Amy.

Hey, guys. Where did you faint, Ames? So I fainted at a funeral just in time as the coffin came down the aisle past me and collapsed in the aisle. In front of the people carrying the coffin or behind them? In front of them. So they had to stop?

So they kind of had to stop and awkwardly manoeuvre around me and then go out. They basically stepped over you in the middle of the aisle while carrying the coffin. Yeah. People would be worried it was going to be a double funeral. I was quite

young, so. Yeah, right. It's kind of the ultimate, I don't mean to belittle the situation, but it's kind of the ultimate tribute to the don't mean to belittle the situation, but it's kind of the ultimate tribute to the person that's passed, isn't it? It's also... To go down, collapse in a heap at their funeral. It's also upstaging someone on their literal last day.

You're so right. It's like fainting at somebody's wedding. You think it's cute. Actually, no. No. You're stealing the center of attention. Babe, this is my day. All right, you're good now, Amy?

All good. Okay, sweet, good. Someone sticks in and Babe, this is my day. All right, you're good now, Amy? All good. Okay, sweet, good. Someone sticks in and said, I'm just talking to a workmate, he says, I faint even at the talk of blood. I said, really? He said, yeah, and then promptly fainted. That much?

That much. Talking about blood sends him sideways. I gave blood the other week for something that ZM is supporting to do with O-Week, and we had to film it. And Ella is our social media producer, and she was meant to come and film it. You said you didn't want to come because of the blood.

You literally can't come, can you? No, absolutely not. Even though it's my blood? No. I fainted watching my sister get it. I can't. Have you got your ears pierced? Yeah, that's fine.

I've got tattoos. Like, I'm fine with needles. It's just I don't even want to say the word, the B word. Blood. No, no. No, I'm done. Okay, let's talk to Mel. Mel, when did you faint and where were you? I was

down, really unfortunate situation. I was down at O'Hagan's in the Viaduct. Packed Beautiful Summer's Day about seven years ago. Drinking all cider and having some prawns, got halfway through and started feeling really unwell, got up to go to the bathroom. I didn't know whether I was going to be sick or the other way.

I stood up and just lost consciousness, hit my head on the concrete, woke up to paramedics. Oh, wow. It's happened twice since and I've since worked out that I can't have shellfish and alcohol that has sulphate in it. Because the combination... Together? Yeah, together.

So I'm a real seafood and alcohol lover. Isn't that weird? Wow. Yeah, well, it's really unfortunate, but it was so embarrassing. You know, you're at O'Hagan's and it's packed and you're, you know, out cold on the concrete. Not cold. Well, glad to know it wasn't the O'Hagan's prawns specifically that did it to you. Yeah, absolutely.

There's nothing in the viaduct for you then. If you can't have shellfish and bubbly, then what else is there? Well, there's men. Oh, true. I can have them. Well, I hope you don't develop an allergy to them too. Well, I don't think I will.

How could you possibly? Pash, some guy who's just had a big feed of mussels. Yeah, well, there you go. But I just, you know, it's more of a matter of keeping it separate, you know, either have oysters or prawns and no alcohol, or the alcohol and none of the seafood, you know? That's so good

that you figured that out. Thank you, Mel. We appreciate it. Sian's is here. Hi, Sian's. Hi there. Tell us your fainting story, Sian's. So two years ago ago my teenage daughter Took me to Rainbow's Inn And we were just out of COVID So there was the spacing between the rides

And the first ride we went on was the Shreddersphere And it's the big one that goes up in the air And unfortunately for me I fainted multiple times In the air So I was kind of like one of those viral video people that like faint and then come back to and then faint and by the time I got off the actual ride the whole spectators were just clapping

round of applause, they all watched it from the ground, it was actually really embarrassing. Because you would have gone all floppy and then you would have come to going, ah! Yeah, yeah, yeah. I've seen some videos on the internet sometimes of people that do faint like that, go floppy, then come back to it and they scream. Well, Maddie and I talked about how you don't know where you are when you regain consciousness.

And imagine regaining consciousness and you're on the stratosphere at Rainbow's Inn. That's a nightmare. Yeah, it was a complete nightmare. I mean, I was crying when I got off the road. Everyone was clapping.

Log flume for you in the future, Sharns. Yeah, definitely. Thank you for your call. We appreciate it. Someone said

I fainted during a school play. I was the royal messenger, had finished my one line in the play, went to stand behind the king

and queen's thrones, fell down, took the entire backdrop. Talk about stealing the scene. People in the crowd would have thought it was part of the show, though, that's the problem. True. They're like, whoa, what happens next? Exactly.

They're like, wow, brilliant acting. Earlier we were talking about people who have fainted and where you fainted. Yeah. One text I missed while we were doing it it says hello my sister fainted

while working as a caterer at a convention for paramedics a perfect place to faint if you're going to do it kind of perfect but they're like I'm off the clock

they're like we're busy mate call somebody this is our night out once upon a time, there was a... Matty. He was smart,

actually, yeah, talented, for sure, athletic, eh, a little, but picking a movie title

based on just the plot line, that's what he's attempting today. Bree and Clint's What's the Plot? The Roncom Edition with Matty McLean. Nobody can touch Bree's What's the Plot record, but can Maddie challenge her in the Rom-Com department,

your area of expertise? I'm doing pretty well so far. So far he's seen literally all of the Rom-Coms. Has anyone even got a point on you yet? I don't think they have. No, they haven't. So no one's beaten you. No one's even won a single point. Today, attempting to take you down is Ashton.

Kia ora, Ashton. Hi, it's Ashton. Oh, Ashton. Sorry, Ashton. Great to have you here. What's your rom-com credentials like? I think I'm pretty good. I'm a raging queer, so that helps.

You and me both, Ashton. I didn't beat Matty yesterday, but I beat him'm pretty good. I'm a raging queer, so that helps. You and me both, Aston. I didn't beat Matty yesterday, but I beat him the day before. Oh. Okay, I like this. What's the greatest rom-com of all time, according to you, Aston? How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days. That was in the game yesterday. Yeah, I know.

All right, well, I think we might have a fair battle on our hands here. Here's the rules. I'll start reading plot lines to rom-coms. Either of you buzz in with your name if you want to have a guess. If you get it wrong, the other person gets a free guess. And first one to two plot lines wins the game. If it's you, Ashton, you get $200 cash. Good luck.

Here comes the first rom-com plotline. Andy is an amiable guy. He's single and he works in a big box retail store. Living alone, Andy spends... Matty. 40-year-old virgin? 40-year-old virgin is correct. Steve Carell, have you seen it, Aston?

I have, yeah, but when I was like four. Okay. Later age me and Clint, Aston. Matty and I saw it at university, but no big deal. Okay, here it comes. Rom-com number two. You've got to get this one, Aston. You've got to be hot on that buzzer.

My advice to you would be, if you think you might know it, buzz. Because you'll have one or two seconds to gather your thoughts if you just buzz, okay? Okay. Okay, here we go. Rom-com number two. Cat is beautiful, smart.

Aston. Aston, what is it? 10 Things I Hate About You. Damn it! I was there. I was there. What was it that gave it away, Aston? The name.

A cat, yeah. Okay. Well, we've arrived at tiebreak. We've got a game on our hands. This is for the win. Whoever gets this plotline wins the game. And if it's you, 200 bucks, Aston. Movie number three.

Everyone in the Porto Carlos family Maddie my big fat Greek wedding that's correct it's the names

it is yeah I didn't even need to get it all my time about how she works at a Greek restaurant

Aston if you haven't seen it truly one of the greats you've got to go and watch it what restaurant. Oh, Aston, if you haven't seen it, truly one of the greats. You've got to go and watch it. What year were you born, Aston? I don't want to disclose it. Well, this movie came out in 2002, so... Oh, I'm older than that.

Hey, great game. We can't give you the 200 bucks. We're going to send you away with 50 KFC chicken dollars. Thank you. Well done. You've been the best. You've challenged me the most so far. I was nervous, Aston. the 200 bucks we're going to send you away with 50 KFC chicken dollars thank you well done you've been the best you've challenged Maddie the most so far

I was nervous my heart was racing a little bit if anybody wants to take Maddie on raging queer or not we'll play

the what's the plot romcom edition on the show again tomorrow Bree and Clint it's time for birthday banger it's my birthday it's my birthday Bree and Clint's birthday banger alright this is game tomorrow. It's time for Birthday Banger.

Alright, this is Birthday Banger where we find the number one song on your 16th birthday and then we play out the best one in full. Let's kick it off this afternoon with Alice. Hi Alice. Hello, how are you guys? Good, how are you doing Alice? Yeah, good, thank you. Awesome. How are you guys? Good. How are you doing, Alice? Yeah, good. Thank you.

Awesome. Where are you calling from? Pottyville, Wellington. Nice. Beautiful. Beautiful. Okay, give us your date of birth, Alice, and we'll give you your birthday banger. My birthday is the 7th of November, 1995.

Okay, Alice, you were 16 on the 7th of November 2011, and this was topping the charts. Banger. She didn't do this. I reckon that's a banger. It's a real banger. No, she didn't do it at the Super Bowl. She didn't do this at the halftime show, did she? Yeah, that's a shame. I couldn't have fallen for this one.

Me too, I agree. It's been a week. Calvin Harris and Rihanna, you obviously love it, yes? Yeah. Okay, perfect. Wait there. We'll do a birthday banger for Johnny. Kia ora, Johnny.

Kia ora, mate. How are you going? Where are you calling us from, Johnny? Pukakaui. Pukakaui. Pretty wet out there in the last week, Pukakaui, wasn't it? Oh, bro, nothing compares to what's happening down in the country. No, no.

Absolutely true as well. So your birthday banger, though, what's your date of birth, Johnny? 6th of July, 92. All right, Johnny, you're a good man, and your birthday when you turned 16 was the 6th of July, 2008, and this was the number one song. Two Calvin Harris songs in a row. This is Calvin Harris and Dizzy Rascal, Dance With Me.

Dance With Me. Tune. Tune. I like that one. I like that one, Johnny. I like that one. That's you in Pukekohe when you were 16 years old, you reckon? I can't understand.

Okay, wait there. We're going to do one more birthday banger for Philippa. Kia ora, Philippa. Hello. How are you doing? Good, thank you. Good. Where are you at the moment, Philippa? I'm on my way over the bridge.

Oh, right. In Auckland, the Harbour Bridge. Yep. Nice. The bridge. The bridge. Let's do your birthday banger, Philippa. What's your date of birth?

7 December, age 1. All right. The bridge. Let's do your birthday banger, Philippa. What's your date of birth? 7 December, age 1. All right, Philippa, you were 16 on the 7th of December, 1997, and this is your birthday banger. I don't care who you are, who you are, where you're from, where you're from, you did as long as you love. The first CD I ever bought. Was it really?

Backstreet Boys, As Long As You Love Me. Do you like it, Philippa? A long year. I'm 81. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So you were 16 in 1997. Oh, true. Oh my gosh, no, I don't like Backstreet Boys.

Were you expecting something from 1981? Okay, wait there. Maddie and I will figure this out. Rihanna, Dizzy Rascal or Backstreet Boys? I mean, I know Philippa didn't like it, but I'm going Backstreet Boys. Yeah, I don't... Yeah, I 100% agree with you.

I don't know why Philippa didn't like it. I don't know what she was expecting from... It's an absolute shit. Well, let's do it. Philippa, sorry to bring it up again for you,

but you've won Birthday Banger. She's taken out. Yeah, she's like... It's not for her. At this stage, it's for us. Turn it up. Turn it up.

Here's the winner of Birthday Banger, Bree and Clint with Maddie on ZM. There's a brand new Ant-Man movie coming out tonight, tomorrow, tonight, tonight. It's out tonight. You can go and see Ant-Man and the Wasp, Quantumania. And last week, Maddie and I were lucky enough

to catch up with the star, Paul Rudd. Hi, Paul Rudd. Hi. We want to start this interview with a really serious question. Do you have an Ant-Man suit at home? And if you do, when was the last time you wore it for non-Marvel-based reasons? I've never worn the suit for non-marvel based reasons i never

would want to really it's not the most comfortable thing in the world okay and in fact i can't even put it on by myself i need help right i have i guess it's like a pit crew that uh helps me get it on that takes the romance out of it it does yeah the look behind the scenes they'll zip me up in my suit um i don't have a suit but i have a helmet i've got things and that was when i thought oh this would be really really cool so i have a helmet i had all the avengers sign it too oh wow amazing is there a different level of fame that comes with being a marvel superhero like is things are things just completely different for you now that you've joined this universe? Well, certainly I think in the recognition department, you are right in that these movies

are global. They're, you know, no matter where you go, they're Marvel movies play and people see them. So my life has been noticeably different since doing this. Did you ever think you would be like a world-recognized superhero? It's kind of every boy's dream. Did you think it would happen to you? Yes.

I love the confidence. Hey, I saw on Alicia Silverstone's Instagram that she's reprising her character of Cher for the Super Bowl. Is there any chance we'll see you back in there? Speaking of Clueless, is there any chance that Josh comes back? I'm not in that commercial. I just saw that too. Yeah.

Here's a bit of cool trivia. The guy that filmed this movie, Quantumania, also filmed Clueless. Get off the grass. He's an amazing cinematographer. His name is Bill Pope. So I still feel connected to all of that for sure. Let's go fandom for a second.

If you weren't Ant-Man, Paul Rudd, which member of the Avengers would you choose to be? Would I choose to be? Yeah, if you could. I mean, I guess Drax. I have no idea. I thought Thor. I thought every guy would just go,

man, I'd be Thor. I'd definitely be Thor. It's a lot of protein though. Just don't think people would buy me as Thor. I don't know why. Speaking of which, you're not far from Chris Hemsworth's home at the moment in Byron Bay. Has he invited you out for an extremely over the top workout and a protein shake yet? Not yet.

I'm still waiting. We'll see if he calls. I didn't tell him I was coming to town. For that reason? I couldn't do one of those workouts. I definitely don't want to drink one of those shakes. I was thinking about the fact that so many people always comment on how youthful you look,

and I don't want to do that, but I did want to know, what's the unhealthy obsession that you have i i really love candy and i uh do you know who um jeffrey dean morgan is he's like walking dead so he's a friend of mine together the two of us own a candy store what yeah we own a candy store there it was this guy had a candy store and he was a pillar in the community and he was young guy and he actually passed away. We took over the store to keep it for this town. And we just love candy.

I really love candy. So it's tough sometimes when you're doing a role like Ant-Man and you're have to kind of work out and fit into the suit and be a superhero and have a candy store, especially when I like lots of sugary, like terrible, terrible candy. So my unhealthy obsession would probably be like hot tamales and Mike and Ike's and some of this, you know, sweet tarts,

that kind of thing. I love it. Well, you look excellent in the Ant-Man suit. I've seen 20 minutes. We can't wait to see the rest of the film. Ant-Man and the Wasp Quantumania hit cinemas in New Zealand on February 16th. Stars Evangeline Lilly,

Michelle Pfeiffer, Jonathan Majors and our new friend Paul Rudd. Good to see you, man. Thank you. Thanks, Paul. Great to see you guys. Thank you so much. What the hell, eh? You have to pinch yourself sometimes in this job. Truly, truly. Paul Rudd. Just a casual chat was Paul Rudd. Paul Rudd.

Just a casual chat with Paul Rudd. I went home and told Lucy, my wife, I was like, did you know I interviewed Paul Rudd today? She goes, in person or on Zoom? I said, on Zoom, but still very cool. She goes, I shook his hand on the red carpet and interviewed him for MTV. Okay, Lucy. Okay, Lucy.

All right, Lucy. Brian Clint. Okay, Lucy. Okay, Lucy. All right, Lucy. A woman in the UK has said on Twitter that she held a grudge for 10 years against a restaurant and cookbook brand, Odalini, because her sister went there for a job interview and they were rude to her. Turns out it was never Odalini that the sister went to the job interview too and she's been holding a grudge against the wrong person. It's Jamie Oliver. For 10 years.

So we want to know, have you got a long-lasting grudge that you've managed to hold on to? Someone texts us and they said, I was friends with someone in year eight. I was 12 and I'm convinced that they stole my Vinger Boys CD. The friendship died out when we moved to a different high school,

but I'm now 31 and I am still upset. Wow. Fair enough. You can just get Venga Boys on Spotify now. Yeah, well, you couldn't back in the day. And if you had a CD missing, terrible. Matty keeps saying, it's the principal. Let's go to Tanisha.

Kia ora, Tanisha. Hey, guys. How are you going? Good. Have you held a petty grudge? I have. What is it? So when I was 21, I had my 21st at a local cidery.

I won't, oh, cider place. Okay. And I asked for mocktails to be made for me. So they were happy to do that. I had a really great time there. Everything was cool. And then a few weeks, I went back there for my cousin's function that he had 25th birthday. And they refused, asked for a Coke or like an orange juice, and they refused me service because I didn't have my ID on me. And I said to them, like, I just had my 21st birthday here a couple of weeks ago, and you've literally made my mocktails for me.

Yeah. I'm pregnant. I can't drink alcohol. I literally just want a Coke, and they wouldn't serve me. So they kicked me out, and my entire table of 30 people decided to get up and walk out, and none of us had ever, ever peened their scent. Wow. And we weren't by their side as either.

Wow. How long ago was this? This was probably about three or four years ago now, so I just turned 24, and yeah, that was my 21st birthday. You know, to move a whole table of 30 people, they would go, oh, I think we might have made a mistake. You only wanted a Coke. Yeah.

You only wanted a Coke. Yeah, just the Coke. Yeah, that's crazy. That is so weird. I know, yeah. Damn it. I don't think that's petty at all. I think that's principled, Tanisha.

I think you guys did the right thing there. Yeah, you get a pass for that, Tanisha. Woo! Yeah, go me. Yeah, grudge away. Stay toxic, babes. It's all good. Thanks, Tanisha. Let's go to Debbie. Hi, Debbie. Hi, how you going?

Good. Debbie, have you held a grudge? Oh my God, it's a toxic one, but okay. Now, this goes back about oh, say 15, 20 years ago, I used to be from Canterbury, of course, so huge All Blacks fan. Rugby was my life. I would take my annual leave around test matches and World Cups

and really staunch fan. Jade Stadium. I would feel the paint. Jade, run past the park. Yeah, that's the one. That's the one. Yeah. Total fan.

And then remember when Graham Henry said, judge me on my next performance if I lose, and then he goes and loses the World Cup. And we all expected Robbie Deans to get the job. That's the one. Robbie should have got it. Yep. Total gods.

He didn't get it. The day he didn't get it, the All Blacks were dead to me. I've never been able to support them since. I pretty much support every team that plays the All Blacks now. Wait. I still can't get over Robbie not getting the job. Your petty grudge is against the All Blacks because they stuck

with Graham Henry over Robbie Deans. Totally. Just because of Robbie now I can't watch the All Blacks. I can't do it. Sorry to be a rugby historian here. He then turned his back on New Zealand and went to rightly so, but went and coached the Wallabies. So you would rather support the Wallabies coached by Robbie Deans

than you would the All Blacks. I bought a Wallabies jersey. I've heard of staunch one-eyed cantabs before, but this is, that takes the cake. That is next level. Totally. And then we did Robbie Deans book signing. I cried like a baby.

I couldn't even speak to him. It was like, I'm just so sad for you. Debbie, I love the level of pettiness you're bringing to tonight. I love it. So,

just before we let you go, it is a World Cup year. It's 2023. And you still live in Canterbury, I assume. Who are you supporting in the World Cup? Anyone but the All Blacks.

I never want to get on your bad side. I assume. Who are you supporting in the World Cup? Anyone but the All Blacks. I never want to get on your bad side. I literally never want to cross you, Debbie. Wow. Bree and Clint. Hoobastan. This would have been,

I reckon this was, this would have been on the Now 16 album. You reckon? Around that. You and I are 36? Yes. I wonder what the statute of limitations for knowing who Hoobastank is.

Because Ella, our 22-year-old producer earlier said, Hooba-hoo, Hooba-hoo. You don't know Hoobastank, right, Ella? No, but I know the song. So this song does actually... Yeah, tickle my brain. Okay. Claudia, do you know Hoobastank, right, Ella? No, but I know the song. So this song does actually... Yeah, tickle my brain. Okay. Claudia, do you know Hoobastank by name?

I know this song and the name of the band. Oh, don't worry. No one else knows any other Hoobastank song. Okay, then yes, I do. We're just asking. If I said Hoobastank, the reason, you'd know what we were talking about. Oh, absolutely. And how old are you?

29. Okay. I probably listen to this song weekly. Like, I love it. Oh, okay. Still? Yeah. Oh, no. She's an outlier I love it. Oh, okay. Still? Yeah. Oh, no.

She's an outlier for this test. Oh, no. Nah, she's skewing the data. Oh, sorry. She's a hoober hoe. That's what they called the Hooberstank groupies. Did they? No, but it sounds good, eh?

Well, we're not here to talk about The Reason, which is their biggest song. It's their song. It's their song. It's their song. Believe it or not, they did release others. Yeah, yeah, they did. And one of those was a song called Inside of You. Right.

And this week, off the back of the Super Bowl halftime performance, Hooper Stink have revealed that they once had the opportunity to release a version of their song Inside of you featuring rihanna what and they didn't do it and they didn't do it why because she was still an up-and-comer and she didn't have the name and they thought who's this rihanna just rihanna and trying to get on the hoober stank train yeah rihanna we don't need you. We're Hoobastank. Rihanna is just trying to jack our stees. Good luck, Rihanna.

Bet we never hear from you again. She knows Hoobastank is forever. And she just wants to get on this. She'll probably want to join in on our halftime Super Bowl show when we do it. Rihanna's a passing phase. Hoobastank's forever. Good on them to have the self-awareness to say that,

and I assume they've said it on the back of her Super Bowl performance. Yeah, they released a tweet after the Super Bowl performance saying, true story, there is a version of a Hooper stank song featuring Rihanna when she was a newer artist, displaying a total lack of foresight. We didn't use that version of the song for the album, but we also didn't think The Reason was a single, so oops. There you go.

Hooba whoops. Hooba whoops. Hooba whoops. This is a banger, though. I'm not sure I would be listening to it every week like Claude, but it is a banger. We can go back into rotation for a little bit. We can play the whole song.

Yeah. If we get 1,000 text messages saying I'm a hoober hoe right now, we will play... I'll start texting right now. A hoober hoe. Bree and Clint. Yee-haw. That's new Morgan Wallen

It's called Last Night Country music's having A real moment isn't it I'm not opposed to it You into country music Oh I don't mind it Yeah alright It's very

It's very Yellowstone To be fair When I say country music I mean Shania Twain You mean The soundtrack to Coyote Ugly Exactly

That's us everybody Thank you for joining us Today You mean the soundtrack to Coyote Ugly. Exactly. That's us, everybody. Thank you for joining us today. Whatever your situation looks like at home tonight, I hope you get some rest and some reprieve. There are some, just some of the scenes that are continuing to come out as people get reception and are able to upload the videos of the stuff that's gone on around them in the last few days.

The picture that's being painted is crazy. That footage of the helicopter rescuing the people off the roof of the stuff that's gone on around them in the last few days. The picture that's being painted is crazy. That footage of the helicopter rescuing the people off the roof of the house. Like for a moment, you can dissociate from it and go, oh, that's a scary rescue, helicopter rescue. Then you realise that the people are standing on the roof of their house and the water is up at the roof of their house. So if you or your whānau are affected, we are thinking of you. We hope that you're able to reach your family now

and that communications are getting back online. Yeah, it's a tough situation out there, but we're thinking of you. Even the less affected places, there's stuff to be aware of. I saw a story on 7 Sharp last night where they talked about the things you have to throw out from your fridge. Like if you haven't had power at your house for the last three days, things that you have to throw in the bin, otherwise you're going to get really really sick from eating them Yeah true

It's just the most bizarre situation And that is the situation for a lot of people Right across the North Island at the moment Yeah the flow of the effect is crazy We will see you guys back tomorrow Matty will be back on your TV in the morning And tomorrow afternoon we'll do a Friday Okie with everybody Spoiler alert it's Rihanna
