So come down, bring the fam if you want to. Brie, where would I find the 16th Ave Theatre?

On the 16th Ave in Tauranga. We've literally thought of everything. It's going to be a great, I was going to say day, but it's day-za. Because these couches that Brie and I are sitting in, we will be sitting in for the next 26 hours. Yeah. Has someone brought a shovel so that we can kind of... Shit on the floor?

No, no, that we can get ourselves off this couch. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Like a big human spatula to peel us off at the end. Exactly. I'm expecting that groove that Homer Simpson had in his couch to be here. That looks so comfy, that groove. Yeah.

So lots of fun stuff coming up on the Brian Clint Show this afternoon. But we'll kick things off with Tradiverse Lady groove. Yeah. So lots of fun stuff coming up on the Bree and Clint show this afternoon. But we'll kick things off with Tradie vs. Lady next. Yeah, if you want to play, it's a special edition considering we're here for the 24-hour Blockbuster Binge-a-thon. So think movies. That's the vibe of Tradie vs. Lady today. And we need two of you to play 0800-DIAL-ZM right now. Bree and Clint.

It's Tradie versus Lady. Now, look, we aren't in the studio, but from memory, let's see how good it is. I believe the Ladies won yesterday, taking them to 39, leaving the Tradies just behind them on 38. Yeah, you know what? It sounds about right. It's about right. Sounds around about right. Give or take. Let's meet our about right. It's about right. Sounds around about right.

Give or take. Let's meet our lady first. She's calling us from Matamata. She is 17, and she works with kids, so she knows heaps of facts. Welcome to the show. It's Samantha. Hi, Samantha. Hi.

What's a fact you can throw out there to us right now? Though tomatoes, cucumbers, and pumpkins are considered vegetables, they're actually fruit because if it has seeds in it, it's a fruit. Wait, a pumpkin is a fruit? Yeah. I have seen it on K Road, so that makes sense. It's a great drag name, actually, when you think about it. Why are you called pumpkin?

Because I'm a fruit. You're taking on our tradie today. They're calling from Hamilton. They're 22, and they hunt pigs. Welcome to the show, Henry. G'day, Henry. Do you have dogs that you hunt with, Henry? Yeah, I've got some dogs.

I've got some of them. Yeah, I'll bet. It's a bit of a shaky line for Henry. Let's see if Henry, you can move around a little bit. We're just going to get into this and see how we go. Henry, your buzzer is tradie. Samantha, yours is lady. The first of three correct answers gets 50 bucks cash from KFC.

Now, look, I will preface this with saying we are here in Tauranga at the 16th Ave Theatre for the Blockbuster Bigathon. So all these questions are related to movies. Question number one. Who sings the theme song from the Despicable Me 2 soundtrack? Yes, Henry. Pharrell Williams. It is Pharrell Williams.

Nice work. Well done. One to the tradies. Move on to question number two. What nationality is the man who plays Thor? Three. Henry got in just there. Is he Australian?

He is Australian. An Aussie, Chris Hemsworth, of course. Two to the tradies. None to the ladies so far. Samantha, you need this one to stay in the game. Question number three. In which American state is Hollywood located? Three.

Yes, Samantha. Los Angeles? Wait, no. That's the city. Do you know the name of the state? Henry? California? Yeah, Henry? California? Yeah, it is California.

He's taken it in a clean sweep. That is three for tradies. Congratulations, Henry. You're a tradie versus lady champion. We've got 50 bucks cash coming your way. Beauty. Bree and Clint. A teenage girl is calling her parents out saying they should go to prison

for the name that they gave her as a baby. Oh, big call. Remember in the late 90s, early 2000s, it was a real thing to talk about divorcing your parents? Yeah. And there was these stories about these teenagers who had like, there was a word for it. Emancipated.

Emancipated? Emancipated? Emancipated. You could emancipate yourself from your parents? And they were like, my parents made me eat mashed potatoes and peas every night, so I emancipated myself. It was such a thing, you know, I don't know about you, but like when you had a big fight with your parents, you'd go to your room, you'd pack your bag up. Yes.

And you're like, right, I'm leaving. I never got further than the front gate. My parents never stood in my way. They were like, leave. Yeah, they're like, good luck I'm leaving. I never got further than the front gate. My parents never stood in my way. They were like, leave. Yeah, they're like, good luck. You're doing us a favour. And I'd be gone for like two or three hours. Would you?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then I'd come back and they wouldn't make a big deal of it at all. They'd go, hi. Where would you go? I remember walking a few blocks away to some shops. And I think I bought myself some fish and chips and I sat there in the cold and ate my fish and chips. God, you are so much cooler than me.

I couldn't do that because I lived in the middle of nowhere. You lived in the country. Yeah, literally. But there's a girl who says she's rich. She's genuinely, she's a teenager. I believe she's about 15 and she's genuinely so angry at her parents for giving her the name that they gave her because she says it's such an old person name and she hates it.

Right. Okay, I need to know what this name is. What would you – I'm going to give you two guesses. So it's an old person name that a teenager hates. Yes. Oh, I know what it is. It's Gay. Gay?

Not Gay. G-A-Y-E, Gay. Very common name. Yeah. Long time ago. Long time is. It's gay. Gay? Not gay. G-A-Y-E. Gay. Very common name. Yeah. Long time ago. Long time ago. Long time ago.

We have a family friend called Gay. Oh, yeah. And she said, she was actually my teacher. What's Gay like? She's a gay old time. Yeah, she'll be happy. Yeah, she's a lovely person. If I know what the meaning of gay means.

But she said that she has resigned herself to the fact that there will be no grandchildren named after her. Yeah. She just knows. It's like my nan. She knew that none of us were going to name our kids after her. What was her name? Edna.

Yeah, right. You know, she was like, I know my name's a bit old-fashioned, but the old-fashioned names are actually coming back in. Totally. And the good thing is if you are a gay, there's a chance that your grandchildren might not be called gay, but they could be gay. Well, that's the thing. Totally. And the good thing is if you are a gay, there's a chance that your grandchildren might not be called gay

but they could be gay. Well, that's the thing. So, yeah. Imagine if your name was gay and you were gay. I mean, it's a match made. A gay gay? It's a gay gay.

It's a gay gay all time. Imagine if you were a homophobic gay. Oh, see, that's, yeah. Look, I am gay but I do not... I don't agree with the gays. I don't agree with the gays.

Okay, so this girl wants her name changed. She's angry at her parents because they named her... Sharon. Someone at the edge is not going to be happy about this story. Very close personal friend of mine, Sharon Casey. Look, I've known her... When I think of Sharon Casey, though, I don't think old at all. No, I think young and vibrant.

Yeah. The name Sharon. But I've known her for 20 years, and I've never known her to not like her name. Like, she's never thought of it as an old name. I don't think there's anything. I have, though. Have you really?

Yeah. I don't think there's anything wrong with the name Sharon. Do I think it sounds a bit older? Yeah, I do, because it's an old-fashioned name. It sounds very, it sounds, I've got to be careful, it sounds very like 1960s New Zealand to me. Yep, yep. Oh, Shazza.

Shazza. Sharon, Shaz, you know one of my friends has some young daughters, and I was talking to her the other day, and she was saying, oh, one of my daughter's friends, her name is Joyce. Wow. How old is Joyce? Seven or eight.

Yeah, right. Little baby Joyce. That's a young Joyce. Yeah. Isn't it? Joyce to me is not under the age of 60. Nah, I've got an auntie Joyce and she's about 78. Yeah.

Oh, and there's some choice Joyce around. Yeah. But I i don't know i don't know it's an older name totally we've played this game on the show before and it was very fun and you guys were very receptive to it and essentially all we need you to do call us 0800 dial zm tell us your name and we'll tell you if you've got an old or young sounding name. It's very easy. Like, for example, we've done Ella before and we decided that Ella was a 3, 2, 1 young name. Young name. Wasn't it?

We've got some fresh people here today. Excuse me, what is your name? Katie. Katie. We can do that. Easy. Okay, Katie. 3, 2, 1.

Young. Young sounding name. Over here. All right, who have we got over here? Pexy. Pexy. That's an easy one. 3, 2, 1. Young. Young sounding name. Over here. Alright, who have we got over here? Pexy. Pexy, that's an easy one. Three, two, one. Young. And then of course, good old Claudia over in the corner. Alright.

Hi, it's me, Claudia. Alright, three, two, one. Old. Arthritic. Decrepit. That's mean. Super gold cards. She's not a mummy. I'll take the discounts, though. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You get free berries to Waiheke.

Oh, $100. Fill these phone lines up. We'll do it with you. We will tell you. It's just our opinion. But it's, I mean, it's a very good opinion. Which doesn't mean much. If you have an old name or a young name.

Bree and Clint. A lot of people on the text machine are asking us to tell them whether their name is young or old. Yeah. And we're going to do that. We're also going to take some calls. Yeah. And we're going to do that. We're also going to take some calls. And it's just our opinion. It's just our opinion, but I don't think we've been wrong yet.

But our opinion is 100% spot on. Well, no one's challenged us in the past. And this isn't our first rodeo when it comes to young or old name games. It's not. We are experts in the field. Let's kick it off with someone texted through and said, Linley. Oh, Linley. Young or old.

Three, two, one. Old. Love you, Linley. But that's an old feeling name. It's a nice name. Yeah. But it's just got that old vibe about it. If we were kind, we would have said it's a classic name.

But that's not an option to us today. It's just young or old. We've got quite a lot of producers in the room. I want everyone's consensus on this. You yell out what you think. Yeah. That's everyone. Producers.

Katie. Pixie. Let's go to Ellie first on 0800-DARLS-A-DIM. Hi, Ellie. Hi, Ellie. Hi. What's Ellie short for? It's just Ellie. I. What's Ellie short for? It's just Ellie.

I don't have anything short. It's just Ellie. Just Ellie. I think we've got it. Easy. Three, two, one. Young. Young.

Oh, Claudia said old. Yeah, but Claudia just wants someone else to have an old name like her name. I'm just getting Ellie McBeal. That's the only Ellie that I know. But Ellie McBeal was a young person. But it was from like 20 years ago. Oh. Ooga, ooga, ooga, chugga.

Ellie, you got a young consensus. The majority said young, so you are young. And it looks like you're 13 as well, so I think we're right. Yeah. Ellie is definitely a young sounding name. Thanks, Ellie. Let's go to line four, Francesca. Hi, Francesca.

Hi, Francesca. Hi Francesca. Hi Francesca. Hi there. Can I say before we even decide, classy name. Very fancy name. It's borderline exotic your name. I feel like Francesca just gives sexy vibes. Did you get

frenny growing up? Never. Never? Never. People said it once, they never said it again. Yeah. If I was named Francesca and someone nicknamed me Franny, I'd be like, how dare you?

Yeah. Well, no, it happens. It happens. I feel like that's the natural, natural. Fran,

I think is. Did you get Fran, Francesca? I did, but again, they only ever did it once. Because you go, it's Francesca, thank you very much. Yeah. You used a natural name. Okay, but again, they only ever did it once. Because you go, it's Francesca, thank you very much.

You used my full name. Okay, all right. This could be interesting, but let's go with our gut. Three, two, one. Young. Yeah. I feel like. Ella, what did you say?

Old but cool. Old but cool. Will you take that, Francesca? I'm definitely taking that. You've got a majority of young votes, though, in the room. So I say young name. Thanks, Francesca. Thank you.

Thank you. Judy's on line five. Hi, Judy. Hi, Judy. Hello. Now, Judy, is this spelled J-U-D-Y? I-E. J-U-D-I-E.

But I mean, it kind of sounds the same. It sounds the same, just like the judge? Yep, pretty much. The spelling throws me off a little bit because the spelling for me is giving young vibe, but let's be real. I only know two Judys, and they're both in the same generation.

Even though she's a year older today. Exactly. Thanks, Tamara. I'm feeling old. Even though she's a year older today. Exactly. Thanks, Tamara. I know, I'm feeling old.

Yeah. This is the latest live from LA with Dean McCarthy. Dean's here. This news was interesting this week, Dean. Five of the big fashion houses have refused to dress Zendaya for her red carpet appearances so far. So crazy. Yeah, we're talking Chanel, Gucci, Dior, Saint Laurent and Valentino.

So here's the situation, right? Zendaya's celebrity stylist has like done a dramatic tell-all interview reveal, which I think is hilarious. Anyway, I think that's hilarious. So in the interview, he's like, he's really called out everyone that has refused to dress her. And then he's also kind of slammed a lot of the other brands that, you know, wouldn't even consider dressing her back in the day.

Currently, when he went to Louis Vuitton, they were like, no. And he was like, just so you know, this will be a no forever. And they changed their tune. And she currently has a Louis Vuitton contract, actually. So why would someone not want to dress Zendaya? Why would Gucci not dress Zendaya? Well, apparently, according to him, they thought she was too green, too young, too not really, like, developed as an actress yet enough.

I think they're surely they're changing their tune. And by the way, can I just say, I think she's probably one of the best dressed, like, in Hollywood, right? Like, have you ever, like, seen anyone so perfect? I haven't seen her in a bad outfit, really. And I'd love to know at what age and, like, what point in her career where all these people were rejecting her. Yeah.

I'd like to know when that was. Because she has rapidly become not just a Hollywood icon, but a fashion icon too. Like, I saw people's reaction when she appeared on the carpet at the Met two weeks ago. Yeah. They were gobsmacked and actually hanging out to see what people like Zendaya were wearing. Yeah.

So, Dean, it feels like a bit of a missed opportunity to get on board with someone who is young and cool, you know? No, best way to put it, I mean, she is one of the only stars to ever be on the cover of US Vogue and UK Vogue at the same time. Yeah, she's cool. So all those magazines and all those brands, yeah, they've missed the boat. They've missed out on this one. Anyone who doesn't have a last name, cool. Yep, automatically cool.

Just automatically way cooler. Madonna. Cher. Cher. Cher. Drake. Drake. The list goes on. Cool, just cool. Just automatically Drake. The list goes on.

Cool. Just cool. Just automatically cool. That's the latest. Live out of Los Angeles with our Hollywood correspondent, Dean McCarthy. Bree and Clint. Look, I'm excited. I'm pumped.

This is like my dream, and I'm very excited for you, Clint, because at 5 o'clock today in exactly less than one hour, we're kicking off our 24-hour Blockbuster Binge-a-thon. Yeah, boy. Brie and Clint's 24-hour Blockbuster Binge-a-thon. You wouldn't steal a plane. You wouldn't steal a car. You wouldn't download a handbag.

I would. I would. I probably would. You wouldn't steal a car. You wouldn't download a handbag. I would. I would. I probably would. You wouldn't steal a car. Bro, if I could download a car for free off the internet, I 100% would. I would. Wouldn't we all?

Look, this is exciting because for the last six years I've had to listen to you always say how you'd never seen any of these classic films. You just haven't seen movies. It's a disability. It really is. Yeah, it's been impeding my life. Like you can't, you don't understand, like you do understand references,

but you don't, you don't really know what you're talking about. I think I've done well to muddle through to this stage of life without actually having seen the movies that the references come from. Well, we're here to change that. By this time tomorrow, hopefully you will have had an education on film, cinema, and you will be up to date, kind of. I don't know the film. I know a couple of them that are on this list.

I'm really excited to hear the full list of movies we're going to watch. Well, let's go through the whole movie set list. Okay. And we'll kick it off with movie number one, which it all kicks off at 5 p.m. Okay. And we'll kick it off with movie number one, which it all kicks off at 5pm today. And we're starting strong with the Channing Tatum classic of Step Up. Step Up. You know what I've heard

about Step Up is that directly after watching that movie, everybody who watches it goes, I'm going to get dance lessons. I can't wait to see Clint bust out some moves after we watch this movie. Should we do that? Should we pick one of the dancers to reenact? I reckon we... Shotgun being Jenna Dewan.wan damn it i do have the same muscles as channing tatum so it makes sense uh then we're gonna go in really strong at 7 00 p.m with aaron brockovich oh this is a crowd

favorite this film and interestingly it beat pretty woman. I know. Yeah. Quite controversial, but I stand by the choice, I think. Okay, that fills the Julia Roberts category, my auntie. Absolutely. At 9pm, we are going gangster with The Departed. Really? You're going to do that at 9pm? I think so. It's like, you know, late at night.

It's two and a half hours. It'll take us up to about 11.30 at night. That is correct. Yeah. You're spot on, 11.30. Okay, great choice. Because I reckon that's where my attention span might start to waver. So good to put it there.

That's what I thought. And then we want to bring you back into the pocket with, I want to say, the greatest Amanda Bynes movie of all time, She's the Man. Yes. So that's going to happen at 11.30. How many movies does Amanda Bynes have? She's got quite a few. Okay.

You'd be quite surprised, but that's the best one. Sure. She's the Man. Then we're going to go into from 1.30 to 3.30 in the morning, the cult horror movie, The Ring. Oh, I was really interested to see what horror movie you chose. We went with The Ring because it was a cult following. Yeah.

It entered into the pop culture zeitgeist. And I want to paint the picture for people. We're in a theatre, and it's a theatre that has been here since the 1950s. And theatres just are naturally a little bit spooky. Oh, 100%. You know? And I think before we watch The Ring, I'm going to take you down into the basement of the theatre.

I'd rather not. And show you where they keep all the old costumes and things like that. I think I'm good. And we're wearing cream-coloured tracksuits, so that's going to be interesting. Then, of course, you really wanted this. Do you mean in case we defecate ourselves? Yeah, I bought extra undies.

Because The Ring, I have just gotten over watching the ring in my teenage years, and now it's all going to come back. 3.30 in the morning, we're going to have some Jerry Maguire. Okay, I've always wanted to watch Jerry Maguire. That's why I put it there. 3.30 in the morning is the Hurt Locker. We are deep in it there. Well, funny you say that.

That's next is the Hurt Locker. We are deep in it there. Well, funny you say that. That's next is The Hurt Locker. No, I'm just kidding. Then we're going to have one of the funniest movies, in my opinion, of all time, Ace Ventura, When Nature Calls. At what time? That's going to be 5.30 to 8 a.m. Okay. And then we're going to go into a cartoon film, the only one of the set list, Finding Nemo from 8 till 10. Great.

Bring the kids down. Then we're going to go into some hardcore action from 10 to 12 with Die Hard. Yes! Then from 12 to 2, we're going to go into White Chicks. Great.

Which is very good. Yeah. Then we're going to go throw it back with the classic from 2 to 4 p.m. with E.T., Phone Home. Brilliant.

And then we're going to finish it off strong with the last movie on the list, Miss Congeniality. 4pm with E.T., Phone Home. Brilliant. And then we're going to finish it off strong with the last movie on the list, Miss Congeniality. What a great list of films. It's a solid list. What a solid list. How many do you reckon we'll get through? I reckon Clint will get through about three and a half.

What, before I fall asleep? Before you fall asleep. I'm going to do my utmost. If you fall asleep and leave me here watching The Ring by myself, I will find you. You're welcome to join us for a couple of these movies this evening. If you want to come down from 5 o'clock, we're at the 16th Avenue Theatre on 16th Avenue off Cameron Road in Tauranga.

Have we got some food coming? Yeah, we do. We've got KFC coming. Yeah, KFC's hooking us up. So if you want to come have a bit of dinner with us, that would be great. Five o'clock is when the movies start playing. So there's lots of seats, lots of space for everybody to join us. That'll be bloody

great. Hey, good job. I'm looking forward to this. Great. I'm excited. The full list of movies is going up now on the Bree and Clint Instagram page. You can kind of see what we're up to for the next 24 hours on that page as well. Bloody good. All right, it's brought to you by Samsung, by the way. They've hooked us up a huge TV to watch these movies.

They have the future of AI TVs right now. Bree and Clint. We're live from Tauranga for our 24-hour blockbuster binge-a-thon. Thanks to our mates at Samsung for hooking us up with probably the biggest TV I've ever seen. It's enormous. It's huge. It's huge. It's like 90 inches of television. It's bigger than my head, and that's big.

Well, most TVs will be bigger than your head. But my head's pretty big. Yeah, I know, but it's not bigger than an iPad. No. You know? It's enormous. It's enormous. It's a huge TV.

Imagine the size of your living room to have this TV. The technical term for it is it's a whopper dog. It's a whopper dog. Whopper dog TV. It's big. We've just found out our first film will be Step Up, and if you'd like to join us, you can be here for a 5 p.m. screening of Step Up

at the 16th Ave Theatre in Tauranga. Don't be late, but you can be late. Don't be late, but show up whenever you want. Yeah, whenever you want, because we will be here for the next 24 hours. Speaking of big things, let's talk about LeBron James. He is a big thing. He is a big thing.

He's exactly 6'9", to be exact. Yeah. 206 centimetres tall. But it's not him that's in the news at the moment. It's his eldest son who's making headlines around the world at the moment because he will be a part of the next NBA draft. Had to happen. Had to happen, hey?

Had to happen, yeah. I'm just like, it's amazing to me that he has it. So he's still in the NBA. Yes. And I would argue one of the most competitive players still in the NBA. He's 39 years of age. And his eldest son, Bronny LeBron. Wait, his name is Bronny LeBron?

Bronny LeBron is his name. He will be a part of the next NBA draft, which means potentially he could be playing in the NBA as well as his dad. I remember hearing an interview a few years ago where someone asked LeBron if that was one of his goals, was to one time be able to play with his son. Right.

And I think even then he was like, yeah, I'd love to, but I mean, I don't know if that would ever be possible. Who knows if it'll happen. Yeah. There was some stuff about Bronny LeBron in the news, I think about a year ago, where he suffered a cardiac arrest due to a congenital heart defect, which they didn't know if it was going to end his basketball career because he plays for USC. And apparently, yeah, he's been cleared,

and he is a part of the pre-draft commitments, and he will be a part of the draft on ESPN. You just hope that he gets purchased by a team that is not the Lakers, which his dad plays for, and then you get to see him go up against his dad. And then in that situation, who do you want to dunk on who? Oh, I mean either or. Yes, Producer Claude?

Hello, Producer Claude here. I'm just fact-checking you. LeBron is his first name. LeBron James is his name. Wait, the son's name is LeBron James. No, I'm sure it's Bronny James and LeBron James. LeBron's last name is James, so Bronny's last name is James. Wait, what?

You were calling him Bron... LeBron is his first name. Yeah, LeBron is LeBron's first name. LeBron? LeBron James. Yes,. Yeah, LeBron is LeBron's first name. LeBron? LeBron James. Yes, LeBron James, the famous LeBron James. And then you said LeBron's son's name was Bronny. Yeah, that's what I thought.

Yeah, and then you were calling him Bronny LeBron. We both were. We both were. Well, that's their fault for naming their son Bronny. Yeah, to be honest. Maybe he's LeBron Junior. Even LeBron, his names are around the wrong way. He should be James LeBron Jr Even LeBron His names are around The wrong way

He should be James LeBron That's true That's fancy James LeBron Sounds nice Yeah Thank you for fact checking us Thank you Claude

I didn't even I was like What are you talking about Claudia It's Bronny LeBron That was Because I got it As soon as Claudia said it

It was fun Watching you work it out I literally had no idea What was happening LeBron James is 6'9". How tall do we reckon his son, Bronny James, is? 6'8". 6'8".

Anyone else in the room have a guess? His dad's 6'9"? Claude? 6'11". I feel like he's taller. 6'11". So there's a lot of public reports that have been around for years because he obviously plays college basketball.

And publicly he's been said to be 6'4". Oh. Right? Yeah. But it's come out now because he's a part of the NBA draft. So they do all the measurements, right? They take all the measurements, how high they can jump, all that stuff. Apparently he's only 6'1.5". What? He's 6'1.5". I'm taller Apparently he's only 6'1.5".

What? He's 6'1.5". I'm taller than Bernie James. 6'1.5". Wow. Isn't that scandalous? Yeah, you'd be a bit pissed off, I reckon. 6'4 and 6'1.5".

No offence, fellas, if you're listening. Very different. 6'9 and 6'1.5". What a difference. He's a lot shorter than his dad. Okay, we've figured it out. LeBron's going to dunk on Bronny. 100%. Yeah, yeah. Got to happen. No doubt

about it. That's a case of following in your parents' footsteps to the letter of the law. Yes. Which neither Brie or I have done, but we'd love to talk to people who did. Did you take up the family business? Did you follow in your parents' footsteps? Was your mum or dad a world champion at something

and then you went on to become a world champion, or you're on your way to becoming a world champion in something? Yeah, was your dad a plumber? You're now a plumber. And maybe it's third generation. Maybe your grandfather was a plumber. Yeah, a world champion plumber. A world champion plumber.

We'll take anything. 0800 dial ZM, or you can text your story into 9696. We'd love to hear from you this afternoon. Bree and Clint. Look, have we got it wrong again? Why? Where I was calling LeBron James' son Bronny LeBron. Bronny LeBron.

You thought LeBron was his last name. And then we finally, you guys finally managed to explain it to me that it was Bronny James. Yeah. And now someone's saying that it's LeBron James Jr. His son's name is... So his full name is LeBron. And they call him Bronny so that people

don't get confused and yet here we are more confused than we have ever been. Just give him his own damn name, LeBron. Yeah, this is LeBron's fault. This is not our fault. This is squarely on the shoulders of LeBron. 100% it is.

Senior. Yes, senior, not junior. It's not Bronny's fault. Not Bronny James. It's not Bronny LeBron Bron LeBron Bron Junior. It's not his fault. Exactly. He had nothing to do with this.

Anyway, there's a story out today where Bronny James, LeBron James' son, is set to be drafted into the NBA, which means he may be playing against his dad in the NBA. Quite literally, figuratively and literally, huge shoes to fill. Huge. Huge. Bigger than his because LeBron's shoes would be bigger. Yeah, he's a big boy.

So we're asking you, did you follow in your parents' footsteps? Someone texted and said, my dad was a teacher for years and then he was a police officer. I'm now a teacher and my sister is a police officer. I'm now a teacher and my sister is a police officer. So he's got both. Perfect. That's pretty cool.

And then someone else texted in and said, my dad was in the mongrel mob and I'm about to be in the mongrel mob. So, Wow. You know.

Is that real? Well, I don't doubt it. We'll take, I'm not here to doubt. We asked them to text in. You can't ask them to text in and then instantly call them liars. Yeah, no, we believe, we believe. And if there's one person I'm not here to doubt. We asked them to text in. You can't ask them to text in and then instantly call them liars.

Yeah, no, we believe. We believe. And if there's one person I'm not going to doubt that someone is about to be in the mongrel mob. Yeah. Yeah, 100%. Say it to my face. Someone said, my gran and granddad are nurses.

My mum's a nurse. My sister's a nurse. I didn't want to do that that so I became a kindy teacher 10 years ago, retained as a paramedic. Husband has just retrained as a nurse and daughter is at med school to become a doctor. You're a caring family. It's in your DNA. Wow, what a family

of carers. That's incredible. Let's go to Rebecca on 0800 Dials at M. Hi, Rebecca. Hi, Rebecca. Hiya, how you going? Good, thanks. Tell us, did you follow in your parents' footsteps? Yeah, so when my dad was 19, he went to vet school and tried to get into vet school. And he missed out by, like, two spots.

So I think there were only about 50 people, and he was number 52 on the list. No. So, I know, it sucks. But he went overseas, and he managed to work with wild animals, which is what he wanted to do anyway. So he's happy. And I am now in my fourth year of vet school at Massey University.

Oh, that's amazing. Yeah, and hopefully going to become a wildlife vet as well. So he convinced me on the wild animals. Yeah, yeah. Oh, best of both worlds. I love that. Is that the best way to be selecting our medical professionals for the future on a first-come, first-served basis?

Like, your dad sounds like he was born to care for animals, and they're like, nah, 50 people got in before you. Yeah, you've got to buy a ticket. That guy over there, he is a bonafide moron and actually has a history of, like, burning animals with a magnifying glass, but he got here before you, so we're going to let him in. It's our works. Yeah, that's the system.

I think it works based on marks, though. Is that right, Rebecca? Yeah, it's based on marks and also an interview process that you have to go through. So there's a lot of vetting, if you'll excuse the pun, that you have to get through first. I will not excuse the pun. It's a fantastic pun.

I will not excuse that. That was one of the best puns on this show for a while. Your dad was vetted out of vetting, but he still found a way to vet. That's so funny. And now he's a veteran vet. Yeah. He's a vet vet. Yeah.

Thank you. That's a great quote. It's exactly what we were looking for. We're talking about people who followed in their parents' footsteps and someone texted in. Where is it? Oh, it's gone. They said, my great-grandfather went to war on horseback.

My mother was a great horsewoman, and now all us three girls love horses too, as well as three of our kids are great on horses. Just waiting for the war. God, everyone, they're horse people. Yeah. Like, horse people is generally generic. Genetic? Genetic.

Some people would argue that horse people are also generic. Like, once you've met one horse person, you've met them all. Oh, come on now. You don't want the horse community coming after you. You said it. I meant genetic. Horse people are like, get off our back. We'll get off your back when you get off the horse's back, okay?

Once upon a time, there was a girl. She was smart, debatable, talented, eh, athletic. Not really. But picking a movie title based on just the plot line, that she can do. Bree and Clint's What's the Plot? After this 24-hour blockbuster binge-a-thon, you might take over the role as the leading... You reckon that'll do it? I'll see enough movies to be a movie expert.

Could be. I mean, I think you need to see a few more, but normally I am the movie expert, but Clint has stepped in. Last week was his first time playing, and you went down. I did, but bravely. 2-1.

You know, it wasn't a downed trap. Not too bad. Not too bad. This week is a redemption round. Other people are meant to say the bravely, but hey, you're not meant to say it about yourself. Not really, but that's okay. Well, no one did, so.

That's okay. This week, you'll be taking on Rachel. Hello, Rachel. Hello. Well, well, well on Rachel. Hello, Rachel. Hello. Well, well, well, we meet again, Rach. For the first time. Did you guys meet out on the night out or something? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

We met at Bahamahut in Tauranga in 2010. Bahamahut. Rach, do you think you know more about movies than me, a man who has seen basically no movies? I would like to think so, but I don't want to shoot myself in the foot by saying yes before I go. I know. We were saying to the person I played last week

that it would be really embarrassing to lose to me because my knowledge of movies is so low. It's so low. But you know what? I feel like you do all right. So let's see how you go this week. Rachel, I will give you both the theme which is a good one

this week. The theme is movies that didn't make the cut for the binge-a-thon. Oh, okay. Sure. So big popular movies that just weren't quite on the list for this operation. Exactly right. Here's how it works. I will

start reading out the plot line of a movie. You can buzz in with your name if you think you know it. Don't wait for me to finish the movie. If you have it right, I'll give you a point. First of two points will take home the win. Sounds good to me. Are we both ready? Ready.

Here comes movie number one. A comet is hurtling toward Earth. Clint. Yes. Armageddon. That's Earth. Clint. Yes. Armageddon. That's incorrect. Rachel. I'll listen to more first.

Okay, I'll start. You get a free guess now, but when I start... If you want your free guess, you've got to use it now. Armageddon was my first guess as well. Yeah, you can forfeit it. That's fine. I'll continue on. A comet is hurtling toward Earth and could mean the end of all human life. Deep impact. That is correct.

Haven't seen it, but I imagine that's what it's about. It's in the title. It's a fantastic film. Didn't make the cut for the binge-a-thon. All right. Rachel, no pressure, but you need this one, okay? Yeah. Here we go.

Movie number two. A young man idolises mobsters, then grows up in the mob and works very... Yes. Goodfellas. That is correct. Oh, my gosh, he is good. He's done it. I mean, he did have an advantage because he knew the movies

that didn't make the binge-a-thon, but he's still very good this week. Rachel, unfortunately, that means you've gone down to Clint. Oh, no, Rach. In What's the Plot? We won't tell anyone, okay? We won't tell anyone. This isn't going out. I haven't seen either of those movies.

This is your private shame being broadcast on the radio. We will, to make you feel better, send you $50 KFC chicken dollars so you can eat your feelings. Yeah, I'll do that and watch both those movies at the same time. Yeah, yeah, sounds good. You should. That's a great idea, Rachel. Thanks for playing What's the Plot?

Thanks. Bree and Clint. Our next guest, you'll know him from TV3's The Project, RIP, and the ACC's commentary as well. Not R.I.P. I was going to say, not R.I.P. No, it's still up and running. If it goes under, then this guy is the jinx, though.

He's the common factor. Denominator, yeah. But let's not get ahead of ourselves. It hasn't happened yet, and it may well never happen. Please welcome to the show, comedian Tony Lyle. G'day, Tony. Thanks for that. One of the worst intros I've ever got in all my days.

Basically just a list of things that I've had cancelled apparently and then maybe wishing death on other projects that I'm currently work on. Truly unbelievable stuff. And while I'm just paying you guys out, can I just say, you know, I journeyed all the way here to the ZM Studios this afternoon, drove in traffic, left my kids at home, got here, only to find you guys are not here. I'm in the studio.

You guys are in Tauranga. Surely I could have done this from my house. Well, you're welcome for not making you drive to Tauranga. Yeah, we could have made you come here. In that case, I'm actually eternally grateful. Cheers for that, guys. Cheers for me. Tony is performing in the Best Foods International Comedy Festival

with his show Lower the Tone. What's Lower the Tone all about, Tony? Well, he actually alluded to what the vast majority of the show is about is I used to have a job and now I do not have a job. And it's incredible how much your mind gears towards that when you start writing material, when you've recently been made redundant. So there's a few stories about that, the glory days of the project, Dan, the not-so-glory days of it getting all sold under.

And I don't know if you've seen the news lately, but, well, there's no more news. So that takes a large chunk of it as well. And that's sort of the vast bulk of it. And then there's, you know, other shenanigans in there. One time I saw a funny thing at the Warriors, which I'll talk about for a bit. That's good. Yeah.

You guys were trailblazers as far as TV shows getting cancelled, to be honest, because everyone was like, what the hell? And then since then, almost every television show has been cancelled. So you guys arguably were ahead of the game. Well, we weren't the first. I don't know if you remember a little show called Have You Bearing Attention that Hayley Sproul, who works on ZM, used to be on, but I think she sort of kicked the bucket that kicked all the rest of the bucket.

So I blame her in terms of... She was the domino. She was the initial domino. But yes, it was... At least we got our own little thing. Like, we got cancelled in November last year and we got a little party and everyone was like,

oh, we're so sad to see you go and everyone made a big deal about it. And then everyone else was also subsequently made redundant after that and everyone thought, oh, well, if everyone's going, let's just bail. We won't have a party for you guys. So I think in a weird way,

we got our little moment in the sun and for that, I'm grateful. Just a bonfire of television shows now. Mate, what was that like going to, like, the party to end the TV show? Was that, like, the grimmest party you've ever been to? Or was it wild as all hell? Or was it crazy? People were like, let's go.

Well, disappointing story here. I actually didn't go because I'm such a comedy, such a comedian legend. I was in Melbourne doing gigs the weekend that we played our last show, so I wasn't even here for the wrap party. Missed out. They gave us all a free hat. Didn't get a free hat. It was a bit of a disappointing night for me, to be honest. Show me a free hat up your bum.

I'll take the hat. I will take the hat. I don't want your free hat. That's good. That's what people buying tickets to your show want to know, that you are so dedicated to comedy that you forewent the free hat. Maybe we don't. I don't want your free hat. That's good. That's what people buying tickets to your show want to know, that you are so dedicated to comedy that you forewent the free hat. Yeah. I want to know from you, Tony, because we're about to sink into 24 hours of nonstop movies.

What are your top three movies of all time? Like, if you could only watch three movies for the rest of your life, what are they? We will judge you based on this list, Tony. Yeah, it does sort of seem a bit virtue signally really for me to say what the three greatest movies are because it just makes me want people to think I'm cool based on my movie taste. It is. You know, I could just sit here and say, rattle off a bunch of movies that everyone has, you

know, makes me look cool. But I thought, you know, it's comedy festival time, so it makes sense, you know, I'm going to do some comedies. I'm going to do three of my favourite comedies to sort of give an idea of what shapes me. I think one of them, Ace Ventura 2, when nature calls, I reckon it's like... You're kidding, Tony. That's one of my favourite movies of all time

and it's on the list. It's on the list. It's on the list. We're watching it at 8am tomorrow or something, or 10am. That's early for Ace Ventura, but you've got to laugh. It's so good.

It's like my formative comedy evolution is watching Ace Ventura on a tape over and over again and we just had the second one we didn't have the first one on tape so that second one i just and luckily because the first one's quite problematic nowadays but the second one is still quite problematic but in its own ways so you know i enjoy that very much and i don't know if this is like a ranking but this is just the order that it comes to me second anchor man the original anchor man a classic of the genre you know you didn't start with Anchorman 2. We would have hung up on you.

Yeah, no, you don't want to start with Anchorman 2. Speaking of problematic. Yeah, well, I mean, I'll say this. Anchorman is one of my favourite movies. Anchorman 2, I've only seen about half of it because I just couldn't do it, bailed out. But it's legendary. It's influenced how people talk to this very day.

If someone walks in with milk, you're going to be like, milk was a bad choice. You're going to say it straight away. Yeah, you're so right, Tony. I'm stuck in a glass case of emotion. 60% of the time works every time. Every time. Exactly.

Sex Panther, I believe you're talking about. And the number one for me, the number one film, and this has a bit of meaning behind it. It was a film I've watched a million times. Anytime you can chuck it on. And we actually watched it right before we went to hospital

for the birth of my first child It is of course Knocked Up A beautiful comedy starring Seth Logan It's so good There's never a time where Knocked Up isn't appropriate So many good jokes, the cast is outrageous I could chuck it on right now I could end this interview, put Knocked Up on

Sit here in the studio by myself and have a bloody good time And Tony, I would argue Knocked Up being the catalyst for one of the other funniest movies, This Is 40. So, I mean, great films all round. For sure, Judd Apatow, he's got his fingerprints all over those bad boys. It's just good stuff. And as I get closer to 40, I remember watching that being like,

this is 40, that is so old, what a bunch of losers. Look at these dweebs. And now I'm knocking on 40's door and thinking, oh, no, I have become everything. You're like, oh, no, they were right. Yeah, I want one of those cupcakes real bad right now. I just want to say I'm only 37, so I'm still cool, right? I'm still rad.

You're 100%. You're in the cool zone. You're the coolest guy on this show. Not me, because I just said you're in the cool zone. And speaking of cool, can I just say, while I was waiting to come on, hearing you guys during the song singing and beatboxing, Clint, it was a true joy.

The best part of my day. That was actually me beatboxing. Oh, can we get a little bit more? Can we get another little dose of your beatboxing? Brie will beatbox while I plug you up. You can see Tony live next week at the Classic Comedy Club from the 21st to the 25th. The show's called Lower the Tone.

You can go to TonyLyle.com or your tickets are at ComedyFestth. The show's called Lower the Tone. You can go to TonyLyle.com or your tickets are at ComedyFestival.co.nz. Thanks, Tony. Thanks, guys. Thanks for plugging me up, Clint. Appreciate that.

You're welcome, bro, anytime. See you, Tony. Brian Clint. Brian Clint. We have just kicked off our first film for the Blockbuster Binge-a-thon. It's been playing

for a grand total of three and a half minutes and now we've bloody paused it so that we can do some talking. How annoying for everybody here. I know. People in the theatre, this never happens at the movies. Normally someone just kicks the back of your seat or throws popcorn at you.

Talking is the worst thing you can do in a movie. The absolute worst. And yet not talking is the worst thing you can do on a radio show. So we're at a real crossroads in this situation. We really are. We are about to watch movies for 24 hours. Thanks to our friends at Samsung, by the way, who have given us this enormous TV. And someone who has

registered could be winning themselves a 4K QLED TV thanks to Samsung. They have the future of AI TVs. The TV is amazing. The setting is brilliant. The crowd is coming in to join us. The challenge is going to be staying awake for 24 hours.

This is the fun part. There's people in here. There's atmosphere. There's laughter. But what about when it gets late? Yeah. The early hours of the morning. What are we going to do to stay awake?

So it's 24 hours of watching movies. We got up at like 6 a.m. to drive down here. So it's like 36 hours of staying awake. Interestingly, I talked to PJ who used to do this show here on ZM and they famously used to do

their 50 hour marathons. Yeah, I was quite shocked at what she said they used to do to stay awake. You can't broadcast that. She said a coffee enema. Which I was like,

that's quite shocking to me. Which is where you put the coffee straight up your bottom. Is exactly right. It's good for you, apparently. Look, I'm not willing to do it now. Will I be willing to do it at 4 o'clock in the morning? Probably.

Talk to me then. Probably. That's when everything happens at 4 a.m. I will admit I'm not very good at staying awake. It's not my strong suit. I've seen you fall asleep in the Koru Lounge at the airport. We could have just said the airport. No, no, you were always in the Koru Lounge.

So what's the tips? I don't have a tip for staying awake. Someone told me once when I was young that a slice of apple is the trick to staying awake. A single slice of apple will help you stay awake. Where are you putting that? Okay, I'm just checking. We're just talking about enemas. Do you have any tips for me on how to stay awake. Where are you putting that? Okay, I'm just checking. We're just talking about enemas. Do you have any tips for me on how to stay awake?

I think coffee is a good one. Well, then how much coffee though? Because that'll send you up and then doesn't that send you crashing back down as well? That is very true. I think it's a balance. It's a tightrope we have to walk. Do you remember those, I don't know if I should be saying this on air,

do you remember Nodos? Yeah. if I should be saying this on air, do you remember No-Dos? Yeah. Those tablets that you bought at like a gas station? There's nothing wrong with that. They're just caffeine pills. Yeah. Are they dodgy, are they? No, well, I think a few athletes got in trouble for taking them.

Yeah, but then they were like, what's wrong with it? I remember it was some Australian rugby players. Oh, is that who it was? Yeah, I think it was George Gregan used to get on the no-dose before a big game. Bloody Grego, eh? Yeah, allegedly. But there's nothing wrong with it. It's the same as having a couple of coffees.

That could be an option. Yeah. Bit of a no-dose nightcap. Yeah, I'll shelve a no-dose. That'll be fine. Pardon me? I'll have a no-dose. That'll be fine.

Does anybody here have any tips on how they stay awake when they need to stay awake for a long period of time? Other than coffee and no-dose exercise. Exercise do you think? Really? Going for a run. An ice bath. An ice bath.

Do we have access to an ice bath? No. Cold shower though. Cold shower, yeah. That'll wake you up. That sounds horrible. That'll really wake you up. What tips have the people got listening right now on 0800DIALZM? We're about to sink into our movie marathon. What do you think we could do to make sure that we get through? Because I'd love to get to the end of this and say that I saw every minute of every movie.

I'll be proud of you if you do. Is my faith in you at 100%? Not really. Yeah. But I reckon it will grow as the night goes on. Can everyone stop texting and do meth, please? That is not something...

Yes, it will make you stay awake. We are not doing that. We're looking to stay awake, not ruin our life. Yeah. Like, we want to complete the movie marathon, but not that bad. Oh, 800 dial ZD. What's your tip for us to stay awake for the next 24 hours so that we can get through this movie marathon in one piece?

We'll get you on here next. Bree and Clint. The theatre is dark and we have settled in to step up. Channing Tatum's just been arrested. Spoiler alert. Look out. It is the vibe in here. It's dramatic.

People are loving it, aren't you? Loving it. We are fine at the moment, but in the depths of the night when we are still watching movies, how are we going to stay awake? We've asked you guys for tips on how to stay awake, and there is some great stuff coming through on the text machine. Someone texted and said to have three to four cups of Turkish coffee. You'll be awake for a week.

Is that like the bulletproof coffee? Because I probably will just be in and out of the restroom here at the 16th Ave Theatre. It does that. Yeah. It definitely speeds that up. Or this text here. It says, what's your location? I'll drop my baby off.

He will keep you awake all night long. That seems like a great plan. We should have offered to look after people's kids tonight. You know, babies that can't sleep. We would not be sleeping at all. We're not sleeping. We've got nothing to lose. Someone else said a lot of people texting through saying,

take your socks and shoes off because cold feet makes you stay awake. Yeah, but Bree's got manky toenails. Excuse you. I've got my toenails have been pedicured recently. Except for one. Except for that one. My ET toe. My ET toe.

Which will come in handy later on when we watch ET. Let's go to Tracy. I know $800 at the end. Hi, Trace. Hi, Tracy. Oh, we've lost her. Bugger. We've lost Tracy.

That's okay. Let's keep chipping through some of these. These are tips on how we're going to stay awake for 24 hours. Someone said to stay awake, you just need to set lots of annoying alarms to wake you up so that you don't fall asleep. Yeah, I do that every morning, and yet I go back to sleep. My alarm goes off, I go back to sleep.

My alarm goes off, I go back to sleep. But it doesn't help you, you know, not to fall asleep. No, no. That's the thing. Someone else, a lot of people saying stay hydrated with cold water. Yeah. It is quite. Which is the opposite of just pounding heaps of coffee, isn't it?

Yes, exactly. Someone said espresso martinis, which I do believe is on the menu at some point. We have facilitated those. We're just trying to pinpoint what the correct time is for an espresso martini. Yeah. Jade's got a suggestion for us. Hi, Jade. Hi, Jade. Hi, Jade.

Hi. What do you reckon the secret to staying up is? Dry scooping pre-workout, for sure. So you mean getting a scoop of pre-workout supplement and then tipping it straight into our mouth with no water? Absolutely. Because espresso martinis, you have to wait for the right time, but dry scooping, that's any time.

Any time is the right time. Have you done this before, Jade? Is it safe? Only if it's for a really important event. And yes, it does work. This is a very important event. You sound like an expert. What's the difference between mixing it with water

and just dry scooping it? I think dry scooping is just more exciting. Yeah, right. A little bit more dangerously. Jade likes to live on the edge. Keep your powder dry. I like the suggestion from Jade. Thanks, Jade.

We appreciate it. Lots of people saying water, hydration, eat properly. Someone said don't eat at all. Nobody can sleep hungry, I believe. That is very true for me. That's an interesting theory. Not go to sleep hungry. Yeah.

You know when you, like, get home from a big night out? Yeah. The last thing I'm doing is going straight to bed. Yeah, okay. You know? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm ordering a bunch of food, like, and I will stay awake until that Uber Eats delivery gets here.

Well, we have 100 pieces of KFC arriving at 6.30 for everybody to enjoy. So I don't think there's any chance that we will be hungry on this Blockbuster Binge-a-thon. Not a chance. KFC are keeping us fed while we watch these movies. So thank you for those suggestions. They're great. Bree and Clint. Sorry, we're out of the studio.

We're in Tauranga for our Blockbuster Binge-a-thon. It's time for a birthday banger. Bree and Clint. All I want for my birthday is a birthday banger. Birthday banger time, and it's a live one. Haven't done a live birthday banger in a while. No. We'll see exactly how this is going to go.

Our first person that's going to find out their birthday banger is Leah. Hi, Leah. Hello. Leah, have you ever wondered what your birthday banger is? No. You're about to find out. All we need from wondered what your birthday banger is? No. You're about to find out. All we need from you is your birthday. Okay.

So what is your birthday? 90th of November, 1982. All right. Leah, that means you were 16 in 1998. And on the 19th of November, 1998, this was number one. No matter what they tell you. No matter what they tell you. The No Matter What Boy Zone.

Boy Zone. Do you know it? Do you like it? No matter what they teach you. What you believe is true. It's a classic from Boy Zone. Oh. Do you like it?

Yes. She does. She's a fan. Okay. Who's next in Birthday Banger? Next up is Cooper for Birthday Banger. We're here at the 16th Ave Theatre on 16th Ave in Tauranga. Cooper's wearing a very cool Led Zeppelin T-shirt,

but I don't think you're going to be old enough to get Led Zeppelin for your birthday band. Hi. Yeah, you look too young, Cooper, but we'll find out. What is your birthday, mate? My birthday's October 10th, 2006. Okay, that means you were 16 in 2022, so only a couple

of years ago, and on that day, this was number one. Sam Smith. Huge hit from Sam Smith. Some people like it, some people hate it. Give us your honest feedback. What do you think about that song? Oh, not that great.

I can't stand it either. It's no Led Zeppelin. Yeah, yeah, it's the complete opposite of a Led Zeppelin song. Yeah. But that's all right. You can't help when you were born. I was holding out hopes that maybe you were just a very young-looking 60-year-old and we could get you stairway to heaven, but it wasn't to be. Yeah.

Not this time. Not this time, Cooper. All right, last up in line for Birthday Banger here, live at the 16th Ave Theatre, is Jess. Hi, Jess. Hi, Clint. Now, Jess, have you wondered what your birthday banger is from time to time? I have.

I've sat in the car and thought about ringing in before. So this is, like, fantastic. Great. Well, we're here to make that a reality. What is your birthday? Oh, gosh. It's 18th of April, 1975. All right, Jess.

That means you were 16 in 1991. The 90s, a good time. Here's your birthday banger. It's trippin', Push Push. It's a 90s hair metal song from a New Zealand band called Push Push. Were you even in New Zealand in 1991?

No, I'm afraid I wasn't. I came in 2005. Oh, no. New one on me. For our Millennial and Gen X listeners, No, I'm afraid I wasn't. I came in 2005. Oh, no. New one on me. For our Millennial and Gen X listeners, that's actually Mikey Havoc from Havoc and Newsboy with Jeremy Wells Band. God, that's a throwback.

But, yeah, God, the songs don't suit the people this afternoon, do they? No, no. But that's okay. You can't pick how these things are going to roll, and we do have to choose a winner. We do. For me, I feel like it's an easy choice.

I've got to go with Leah's Birthday Banger, no matter what boy zone. I agree with you. It's got to be that. I agree with you. It's got to be. So here we go. For Leah, the winner of Birthday Banger from the year 1998.

This, if I do this, and then I do this, and then I... We are live. Don't you love a live radio show? You're doing well, mate. He's juggling. It's Boyzone on ZM. Let's put Step Up back on. Yeah, it's...

Press play. ZM, Brian Clint. That's Boyzone we have to be quiet the winner of Birthday Banger the movie marathon is currently happening yeah we're watching

Step Up at the moment and we're trying not to interrupt it for everybody so we're very pushed for time and apologies to all those

Boyzone fans out there who didn't get their full Ronan fix you can catch that song a couple times a day on Coast, though. I think about six times. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Six times a day.

He's the backbone of that station. He is. Yeah. He's the founder. Coast, you can find Boyzone in the Coast Zone. Yep. Okay. The ambassador.

They are the, yeah. For Coast. We're back after this, are you? Bree and Clint. Bree and Clint live from Tauranga today for the Blockbuster Bingethon. Which means we are going to be watching a screen for the next 24 hours straight. Oh my God, our screen time is going to be huge. Well, it's funny you say that because I came across this study that's recently been done

where data analysts at a place called Electronics Hub have essentially re-examined how the world spends their time in front of screens in 2024. And the data is quite interesting. And I thought we could go through it and see how New Zealand matches up to the rest of the world. Yeah, I think it will have changed quite a lot because screens are everywhere now. Like you're in front of a screen, a lot of us, unless you have like a physical job or like you're in early childcare or something like that. I reckon most of us look at a screen for eight hours for a job.

Even your watch has a screen these days. Your car has a screen. You know, everything's got a screen. Some people's fridge has a screen. Yeah, it's wild. The toilet? We're not quite there yet. No?

No. High tech toilet? I'd like a screen in my toilet so I don't have to take my phone in. That would be great. Yeah, so I can just, you know, watch a bit of Selling Sunset while I... One of my things on my vision board is a TV near a bathtub. Oh, yeah, in your bathroom. Like in my bathroom.

Yeah. That's when I've made it. Yeah, yeah. We're not addicted at all. It's very 90s chic of you, but do you want a. Like in my bathroom. Yeah. That's when I've made it. Yeah, yeah. We're not addicted at all. It's very 90s chic of you, but do you want to landline in there as well? Wouldn't mind it. Yeah, me neither. Wouldn't say no.

Wouldn't say no. Anyway, they've collated the data and they've worked out which, by country, which country spends the most time on screens. And this can be anything. Yeah, yeah, yeah. This can be your phone, TV, laptop, all those things. I've got the top three for you. Coming in at number three is the Philippines.

Okay. Spending most time on screens with an average of eight hours and 52 minutes a day. Ew. Philippines on the screens. That's a lot. Yeah. Eight hours and 52 minutes. Eight hours on the screens, eight hours sleeping,

and then eight hours of... Other things. Other things. You've got to squeeze everything else into the other eight hours. Yeah. Your exercise, your eating, your cooking, your lovemaking. Yeah. Your working.

Well, unless a screen is involved in any of those things. True. I'm not here to yuck anybody's yum. Which could be. Coming in at number two was Brazil. Oh, yeah? Spending most time on the screens with nine hours and

thirteen minutes. I'm not going to lie, I've got no idea how Brazilians operate, but yeah, that sounds interesting. That's a long time. What do you think is... Especially when you live in such a beautiful country full of such beautiful people, get off the screens. Go and live in real life. Go out, see the world, Rio de Janeiro. Go get a Brazilian. Yeah.

In more ways than one. What do you think is the top country that is spending the most time on screens? I thought the US. But then you've hit me with the Philippines and Brazil, and I'm like, oh, maybe it's not the US. Maybe it's somewhere more, I don't know, who's screen orientated? I'm going to swing for the fences. I'm going to say India.

India? Yeah. Okay, you're locking in India, the country that is currently, according to this survey, spending the most time on screens is South Africa. Ah, the bloody saffers, eh? Nine hours and 24 minutes on average they're spending on screens. But let's get into the nitty-gritty. We're watching highlights of the 1995 Rugby World Cup.

Of course, that takes up a bit of time. 2007 Rugby World Cup. There's a lot of footage. 2023 Rugby World Cup. Yeah. You can see why the screen time is getting up. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Absolutely, yeah.

What do you think, which country do you think is spending the most time on a screen gaming? US. Saudi Arabia. What? What about watching TV? US. That's correct. It is the US. Thank you. Got one. What? What about watching TV? US. That's correct. It is the US.

Thank you. Got one. What about social media? US. South Africa. What? Who do you think? I've never seen a South African person on social media.

Maybe it's just your algorithm. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What about watching the most TikToks? Which country? China. The UK. Ah. The UK is watching the most. Who's spending

the most time on computers? China. That's Russia. And who is spending the most time on their phones? That would be me. That is right. Well done. And who knew you would now consider the whole country.
