Tonight, we are going to witness the most anticipated show
in the history of professional radio.
ZM's Br Bree and Clint reporting pretty much live from that big New World fire.
Yeah that's wild isn't it?
It's just across, it's just up the road from where we are.
We've gotten warnings on our phones saying that there's a big fire nearby and there's
stuff in the air and to be
careful. Yeah someone's getting fired eh. How do you reckon a fire like that starts?
I don't know, and this is purely speculation obviously. Not the hot
truck machine was it? Hopefully not the hot truck machine. They are doing like renovations on that
building at the moment. There's like a work site. Yeah right I didn't realise that. Which the last big
fire we had in Auckland was on the convention center and that was a tradie who left a blowtorch on.
Yeah. So. Power tools. Who knows. Either way definitely at least at least first strike. You burn down an entire supermarket I I reckon... No, I reckon written warning. You burn down an entire supermarket.
Yeah, I reckon.
Yeah.
Minimum.
God.
We've all done dumb things at work.
Imagine the regret you would feel if you burnt down a whole supermarket.
I don't know how you'd feel.
They have to throw all the food out, eh?
All the food would be ruined.
It's like when that New World near me got flooded
in those Auckland floods a couple of years ago,
and all the food was ruined.
They were just chucking food out of the door.
I was like, oh, it's so devastating.
You'd still eat most of it.
I went and picked through the remnants, yeah.
Yeah.
I was like, they're still good, they're still good.
Fun show on the way. We will

Our lady is calling from Auckland, she's 35,

in the daycare dryer.
Welcome to the show, Cecilia.
Hi, Cecilia.
Hi.
It's not too bad in the grand scheme of things, right?
It's not like you burned down a convention centre.
No, right, and it was nearly dead anyway,
so I did them a favour.
You did them a favour.
Could they fix it?
Could they clean it out of there?
Or was it bad?
No, it was pretty bad.
They came out and tried, but no.
Oh, you're thinking about the dryer.
I was thinking about the raincoat.
I'm thinking about the dryer.

Sabrina Carpenter's Man Childs on ZM Bree and Clint podcast. Sabrina Carpenter's man child on ZM Bri and Clint.
Why'd you just point to yourself?
Because Claudia's insinuating that I am one.
Claudia's insinuating that I'm a man child.
Claudia's really wrong, I will say.
She is really wrong, you're right.
She's really wrong.
She's really, really wrong.
Rarely, rarely, rarely.
Rarely, rarely, rare. She's even pronouncing really wrong, that's how wrong she wrong. Rarely, rarely, rarely, rare. She's even pronouncing really wrong.
That's how wrong she is.
Rarely wrong.
Really, really, really wrong.
I have a bit of a life hack for you guys today and everyone listening that owns a car with
a push start.
Oh yeah.
By the way, fancy if you do.
Fancy.
Becoming more and more the norm though. Common, more and more
common yes. This is the good litmus test for the push to start.
Claudia how do you start your Suzuki Swift? With a key? No button. No. Pavo.
I start my car with a key. Do you? Yeah. Your car's new. I'm a woman of the people.
Yeah right. My car has the option to have a push start, but I got the base
Ella how do you start the Demio? Yeah push what button? Yeah
Yeah, what the hell Claudia? Are we the most pavo on this show?
I mean have a granddad that dies and then you get some money and they've done that
I think the push button is better in the Demimeo because it makes them harder to steal and
do ram raids in.
Hey!
There you go.
Hot tip.
Hot tip.
Yeah, that is a hot tip.
Not the hot tip I was bringing though.
The hot tip I was bringing, I saw this girl on the TikTok.
She went out to get food, grab food, and then tried to turn her push start car on and realized the
battery in her keys, her car keys had gone dead and so her car wouldn't start.
Take a listen. Just wondering what do you mean to do when your battery and your key
dies and you can't push start your car? I've driven, it went and now my key is not
going and my car can't start because it's a push start and I'm stranded I've just bought dinner for me and my mom and now I can't leave.
It's quite the problem, it is quite the problem. I wouldn't know or I've never been in this situation.
Not an issue you'll find yourself in any time soon.
My keys are never gonna die.
It's one of those situations where people with the old tech go,
oh look who wants to be like us now.
Look who's come crawling back.
Yeah. Anyway this girl used her smarts, she googled it. Of course. And easily found out what to do.
Take a listen. Update, I googled it. They held my key up to the start stop button. Press it, hold on.
There she goes, she's purring.
So that's a little life hack,
if you've got a push start car and it doesn't go,
hold up your key to the start button.
I didn't know that, I mean I don't have a push start car,
so I don't need to know,
but people who have a push start car need to know this.
Some of them you do that,
some of them you push the button with the key,
and then some of them there's a little,
underneath where your little screen bit is, there'll be a picture of a key and you put the
thing on the picture of the key and then you can start the car. You know what
would eliminate this problem? What? Just a normal key. No we're past that.
Isn't it cool though to like just have your old... wait are we old school now?
Yeah.
Oh yeah, we're retro.
We're rocking vintage cars.
You're like a CD player.
Do you have a CD player?
Nah.
First, this is the first car I got without a CD player.
Check the glove box.
Nah, mate, if I don't have a push start, I don't have a CD player.
Did you ask them to take the CD player out too?
You're like, I need this car as cheap as possible.
Take everything out of it.
I'm not even going to use the back seats.
No, better leave the fan belt in.
Leave that in.
I'll take two seat belts and no more.
Better living, everybody.
Anyway, good life hack if you run into a problem.
Bree, you've known me for seven years now.
What's my favourite topic?
Money.
No. Getting rich. No. Well kind
of but no. How can you get more money? No well yes but not like that mega lotto wins.
That's the same thing. No it's not. It's the same. It's not when you say it it sounds
bad when I say it it sounds fun okay and it back. And I love an excuse to talk about this.
This one is crazy and it's just across the docks in Australia.
Someone in Australia has won a hundred million dollars and no one has claimed it.
One hundred million dollars.
Do you reckon they've been killed?
Possibly.
Someone's found out. They, they've killed him and then
they're like oh lay low for a bit. Yeah every chance. And then I'll come forward
and claim the money. Yeah great plan. They know the ticket was sold in
Bondi in Sydney. Oh they don't need any more money. There's not even one in Bondi
is rich. Most of them. Nah some people are students. Some people are influencers. Most of them, I reckon like 99% are rich and hot.
It's got, Carl Stefanovic's houses in Bondi, isn't it?
Everyone's house is in Bondi.
Well, they could be getting a new pill. It's been five days and the winner either
doesn't know that they've won or they don't want others to know that they've
won or like you said they've been murdered. Those are the only options. They're the only ones.
You suggested that the person doesn't know and they need time to break up
with their partner. I said... So they can keep the hundred million for
themselves and start a new life. Maybe. You don't know how people are gonna
react when they're given a hundred million dollars.
Imagine you are like your relationship is in the death throes and you're like, oh, we're
definitely going to break up soon.
And then you accidentally win a hundred million dollars and you know you're going to have
to split it with this person that you're definitely going to break up with.
Too bad.
Fifty million is going to them.
It is.
If you're defacto.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And you shouldn't be gutted about getting $50 million,
but when you could have had $100 million.
Yeah, devo.
I've done some quick stats on this.
That 100 million in a high interest bank account at 3%,
which you can get at the moment,
would pay the person $3 million a year for doing nothing.
Wow.
Nothing, free $3 million a year for doing nothing. Wow. Nothing, free $3 million a year.
They could spend $3 million a year every year
for the rest of their life
and still have $100 million when they died.
Yeah, that's crazy.
As a weekly paycheck, just the $3 million,
not the $100 million.
Yeah, what's that a week?
Just the $3 million would give you $57,000 a week to spend.
What do you even do with that?
Not save, spend.
Yeah, what do you do with that money?
Cause if you don't spend it,
you're just gonna have too much money.
This is gonna keep, if you don't spend your $57,000
this week, next week you'll have $114,000 to spend.
If you take a week off spending,
if you take a month off,
you have quarter of a million dollars to spend. And how are you going to do that?
That's crazy money.
It's crazy money.
It's too much money for one person.
And someone doesn't know that they've won it.
I didn't realise that Aussie Lotto went up that high.
Neither did I. I thought that was American Styles.
I feel like not that many years ago, they had the biggest Aussie lottery and it was like 60
million.
Yeah.
So it's obviously gone up.
I think ours has got as high as...
What's the biggest New Zealand...
40?
Does that feel about right?
40 million?
Because then they get to a point and they go, all right, it's got to go now.
But I feel like they change that all the time.
I feel like it got to 50 at one point.
Nah.
Nah?
I don't think so. The largest prize
won by a single ticket was 44 million in the Powerball on the 9th of November 2016. The
winning ticket was sold at a dairy in Auckland. The prize was made up of 44 million in Powerball
and 66,000 in Lotto.
Better check they gave you that 66,000 as well.
Yeah.
I want every last bit of my money.
Don't let them stiff you on that.
Anyway, if you've been to Bondi in the last week
and you happen to purchase a Lotto ticket.
Could be you.
Check your numbers.
Could be you.
And if you put your ticket through the washing machine,
oh Christ.
Good luck sleeping. You gotta laminate those things.
Yeah.
That's the smart thing to do.
It's the only reason I like the app.
ZN's Branklin.
Shane Van Gisburg, and you may know him, you may not,
he's a legendary Kiwi race car driver.
Used to be in the V8 Supercars.
He's now in NASCAR in America,
and doing very well for himself.
The one where they just drive around in a
circle. Yeah. Yeah. I think he does better because NASCAR sometimes run in a circle. Shake and break.
Sometimes on the streets. I think he does better on the streets one. Oh. It's not just in a circle.
Maybe it is. I feel like it is. Is it? No they do a street race. No, they do a street race. No, they definitely do a street race too. As like a fun thing, but as a part of the competition?
Yeah.
In NASCAR, always in... I'm sure one of our listeners will know.
Yeah, good point.
Um, yeah, here we go. No, NASCAR is not always in a circle.
While many NASCAR races are held for an oval shape,
which can appear circular to some viewers. They
are actually ovals.
One day you'll just take my word for it.
Oh, so it's an oval. So it's not a street race. It's just...
It's not a street race.
This is an oval track.
Oh. Well, I've actually never watched it, so...
Far out.
Anyway, can we get back to the point?
Shane Van Gersbergen, Kiwi doing well on the world stage.
That's basically all you need to know.
He has won the Mexico City NASCAR race overnight, which is a very big deal.
It's huge in America, big for a Kiwi.
And more impressively, he's done it while suffering a horrific bout of food poisoning.
He was not shy about sharing the details of the food poisoning in his post-match, post-race,
very Kiwi interview.
You faced so much adversity this entire weekend.
The travel issues, not feeling well before the race, and then the rain today.
What was the biggest challenge?
Oh, you listed them all, man. What what a week I've really enjoyed myself here I felt pretty rubbish
today leaking out both holes that wasn't fun. Excuse me Shane what did he say?
Excuse me Shane? What did he say? I believe Shane Van Gisbergen just said on
worldwide television that he won the race while leaking out of both holes.
Oh Shane. Shane. Shane what would your mother say? To be honest I reckon Shane's mum would be
like, oh bloody good Shane, you bloody shamball. Oh bloody ripper Shane. You get that spitty bum sorted and you go out and win. Oh it's work
Shane Ope. Can you imagine leaking out both holes and also being...
What do you just put a nappy on and just get to work. But you're in a helmet and a fully
sealed race suit. Ricky Bobby wouldn't let that hold him back. No he would not. No he'd
shake and bake it anyway.
That's what champions are made of.
Anyway, congratulations Shane Bangersberg.
ZM's Bree and Clint podcast.
The Tea, live from LA with Dee McCarthy.
Dean, Mariah Carey is being a diva again.
What's she done?
Oh my goodness, yes, shock.
Everyone sit down, I'll put on my shock surprise face. Mariah Carey is the ultimate diva., what's she done? Oh my goodness, yes, shock.
Everyone sit down, I'll put on my shock surprise face.
Mary Carey is the ultimate diva.
People are now talking about her rider
and what she needs, requests and demands
when she's doing interviews and where she goes.
So it has been revealed that she,
obviously we already knew that she had 20 humidifiers,
like she fills her room with humidifiers.
And now it is alleged that she wants 20 white kittens and 100 white dogs filling rooms.
Excuse me?
Dean's not joking. This is a real story. She just performed it. What was it? The capital
capital ball. And this apparently was her real writer, right, Dean?
Yes, this is her real writer. Now I can tell you one time I interviewed Mariah Carey and
when I got to the set, it was a soundstage, she'd had them fill it with fake snow. There's
snow everywhere and she went, the Vanderpump dog, you know Lisa Vanderpump, she had all
these puppies running in the snow and it was Mariah's request, puppies in the snow. So
I'm there cuddling the puppies, there's snow everywhere. She was two and a half hours late for me. Oh my god. This is real. This is the kind of ridiculousness. I think she just tries to push the limit. Yeah. I think she has fun with it.
I reckon it's 50-50. I reckon it's half her brand and she has to do it and half the real her. I agree. And she doesn't care at this stage. Like she doesn't need to do the capital ball.
She's not plugging new music.
Christmas will roll around again soon and she'll sell another 100,000 copies of All
I Want for Christmas Is You.
She's fine.
So why shouldn't she get 20 Hubertifiers and some doves and some kittens?
What did she just win the Icon Award?
She won the Icon Award at the BET Awards.
Did you see her speech, Dean?
I actually didn't. I haven't seen that yet.
If you want to see a bad speech, look it up.
She read the whole thing off a teleprompter
and she opened with,
they tell me that this is the first time I've won a BET.
Well, may as well start with the Icon Award.
That's so her, right? May as well start with the Icon Award.
That's so her, right? She's also the goat, so good on her.
That's the tea with Dean McCarthy.
The ZM Podcast Network.
Lorde's back.
She's back in a big way.
Her most recent song that she released was Man of the Year.
The slower one? that she released was Man of the Year. I hope that I'm remembered by Gold chain my soul
The slower one.
Yeah, I like it though.
I like it too.
I thought based off of this song from Lorde, Man of the Year,
that it would be timely to award the men in our life certain men of the year awards.
Oh you want to hold the inaugural men of the year awards?
Yeah I think it is time for the inaugural men of the year awards and the awards can be for something super small.
Okay, wait.
Oh, that too?
Better have to call up an award your partner. That's not what I meant. He's got the smallest one in New Zealand
They're like they can be micro. No, that's
They can be
They can be for barely anything gotcha
You know that can be just for something really small that a man in your life
Has done and you're like I want to give him a man of the year award. Or big. Or big. Yeah. Or big. Yes of course they can be
big, small, medium. We accept all here at the man of the year awards. Stop making it
dirty. I was suggesting that. I wasn't. I was suggesting maybe he built you a house. Yeah.
That would deserve a man of the year award wouldn't it? 100% it would. Yeah. Maybe he gave you leftovers,
cause he knew they were your favourites
and he said you can take the leftovers to it.
You take the leftovers, yeah, yeah, okay.
That to me deserves an award.
Fair enough, I see.
Producers, do you have any awards you wanna present
to the man in our life, Clint Roberts?
Do you have any thoughts on that?
Yes, okay. Yep. I want to award Clint for asking me how I was yesterday. Oh yeah, you were a bit down and he noticed. Yeah, Clint took notice. Yeah. And he said,
Ella, are you okay? And then he felt awkward and made some jokes. No, but I asked. Yeah, but I asked.
You did ask.
It's as easy as that, fellas.
That is the bare minimum.
Did I do it right?
Yes, you did.
You did. Claude?
God, scrape the fricking barrel.
I have one.
I've got two, actually. Great, cause Claude's got none.
Okay, I've got two.
We'll circle back.
The first one is thank you for going out and getting producer Claude's birthday present.
So it took that job off mine and Ella's plate.
That was really nice of you and thoughtful.
Thank you for that.
You're welcome.
Still asked us to pay for our third of it. I felt bad because I knew I was going to
bail on her party. Also I think you deserve a Man of the Year award for
putting your coolness on hold for your kids and going out and buying a scooter.
So you can scooter around with your girls.
I think that's nice. I think that's a Dad of the Year award.
Same thing. Same thing, yeah.
Yeah. Yeah, well done.
Right. So people are going to call in with awards for me now.
Is that how that works? Not for you.
For the man in their life.
If you think the man in your life deserves an
award, it can be big, small, medium, whatever it might be, we're going to do the Man of
the Year awards next.
It's ZM's Bree and Clint podcast.
Welcome everyone to the first inaugural Man of the Year awards. Yes. So good to be here with you this evening. Tonight we will hear from
the people doing a lot or not very much at all, but they will all receive a Man of the
Year award. Our first award has come in via text message
from someone who said, Man of the Year goes to my partner who unloaded the dishwasher
after only one reminder. He put things away in the
wrong drawers and I had to redo it, but still it's the effort that counts.
It is.
Well done. Well done.
Come on fellas, I'm expecting big things in the inaugural Man of the Year awards. If
we want another awards ceremony, we're going to have to pull through. Alexis.
Hi Alexis.
Has called up with a nomination.
Hello.
Who would you like to nominate for Man of the Year awards, Alexis?
Definitely my husband, Lincoln.
Okay, and what's he done?
Well, there's so, so many things, but lately he's been getting really, really close to being able to put his clothes in the laundry hamper. Oh my god, that's a big, big moment
in a man's life, Alexis.
Yeah, so there's been next to it,
there's been on top of it,
and then lately there's been a few things inside it.
Wow! No way!
You know what they say, Alexis,
one percent better every day.
Yep. Exactly. By the time you guys are in your 70s, those clothes one percent better every day. Yep. Exactly.
By the time you guys are in your 70s, those clothes might actually be in the washing machine.
Oh, what a thought.
Yeah.
I respect that.
Congratulations, Alexis.
Let's talk to Gemma on our 800 dial ZM.
Hi Gemma.
Hello.
Who would you like to nominate for Man of the Year awards?
My flatmate, Chris.
And what's Chris done?
Oh, a flatmate Chris. And what's Chris done? Yeah. Well we had a leak in our
bathroom and he was able to redo the vanity, like do all the plumbing for the
vanity and the shower and replace the shower head as well. And Gemma is your
flatmate Chris a plumber? No he has done a certificate but he's not employed as a plumber at the moment.
Does he own the flat?
Yes, we do.
Oh you guys own it?
Oh god, welcome to the show.
It's quite amazing, it sounds like he did everything, it sounds like it was a full bathroom
ranno.
And is Chris single?
Gemma just asking because we're going to get text messages, is Chris single?
Yes. He is. Yes, he is is. He knows how to handle the pipes. How has he not been snapped up? Shona's called through with a
nomination for man of the year. Hi Shona. Hi Shona. Good afternoon. Good afternoon. Who would you like to
nominate Shona? My amazing husband. What's he done? So three months ago today, my dad had brain surgery and he's not allowed to drive for
six months.
Okay.
So every time we go out for the day or go away for the weekend, my husband's like, let's
take your dad.
Oh.
He's stepped up for your dad, Shona.
That's lovely, Shona.
He really has stepped up. He's stepped up your dad, Shona. That's lovely, Shona. He really has stepped up.
He stepped up more than I have, actually.
You might be about to award the first genuine
Man of the Year award. Yeah, this is a genuine.
We'll do that.
This is a genuine.
You really see who you married
in those hard moments, don't you?
Kieran is here.
Hi, Kieran. Hi, Kieran.
Hi.
Tell us, mate, who are you nominating for Man of the Year Awards?
Well, I'd like to nominate Clint.
Oh. Okay. Okay.
And the reason for that is, despite being the underdog,
he came through on Google Down last week and won me 50k of C-Bucks.
Yes Kieran!
Woo!
Yes!
And that's what the Man of the Year Awards is all about ladies and gentlemen. We award everything.
There's so many worthy nominations coming through.
There is, there's so many texts, I wish we could, let's read a few.
My husband is the Man of the Year because he read me the first chapter of my book club book because I needed help getting into it.
That's so cute.
He read it to you.
That is so cute.
Someone else said, my partner shaved his head with me when I lost all of my hair from chemo
so I didn't feel alone as I had the most beautiful hair down to my bum.
That's nice.
That's really sweet.
My fiance built me and my son a house in his spare time.
See, some men are just putting the bar up too high.
What about this one?
My man, because he is on day 25 of working straight through
so we can have all the things we need,
that is a man of the year.
I'm not saying it's the right thing to do
because he probably needs a break.
That guy worked 25 days straight and we gave that guy who emptied the dishwasher wrong
a Man of the Year award.
Like I said, Man of the Year awards, it's the first year we award everyone and then
as the years goes on we make it harder.

Play ZM's Bree and Clint.
The best best one had wonder of the 20s.
Oosh we're about to close off the quarterfinals.
Yeah I know this is um it's gone really quickly. I kind of miss doing heaps of votes.
I know we're down to just eight songs.
In a matter of minutes, those eight songs will be four songs.
I put out a desperate plea before for my song, Shut Up and Dance.
Has it changed?
To get some more votes, Claudia.
Has it done anything?
Has there been any movement on my song?
Doesn't look like it's moved even an inch.
Has it gone the other way?
Well, at least we know that that's the right result then. Hey that's what the people want and what the people want the people will get.
These are the quarterfinals wrapping up.
Like I said, my song Shut Up and Die
will not be the greatest one-hit wonder of the 2010s
because it couldn't beat Timmy Trumpet.
Tell me where the freaks at.
Oh, this is a hot contender, I think, for the final.
One of the songs we thought was a contender
to win the whole thing.
Dance Monkey.
So they say dance for me, dance for me, dance for me.
It will not be the greatest one-hit wonder of the 2010s! It will not be the greatest one hit wonder of the 2010s
It may be the most streamed Spotify song of the 2010s
But it will not win the title
It couldn't beat Goatier in Kimbra
Now you're just somebody that I used to know
I feel like it makes sense because both of these are on the same level for me
They were global, global hits.
Yeah, with an Aussie on them.
Exactly, yeah.
Yeah, somebody that I used to know was Dance Monkey before Dance Monkey.
Exactly, the original Dance Monkey.
This is going to the semi-finals. It's in the top four.
It will be in there with Carly Rae Gypson.
This is the horse song back in.
Yeah, this is your song, eh?
Took down the oldie boys, fostered the people, pumped up kicks.
Oh, this has been popular throughout, but it couldn't take down the juggernaut that is Carly Rae Jepsen.
Pumped upicks is out.
There's only one spot left and it's not going to Bree's
other favourite song, X's and O's.
Two, three, they gonna run back to me.
It's been a good run.
I would say quarter finals.
Been a great run, Bill King.
From 64 down to the top eight.
Rob Schneider will be so proud.
So proud.
Lost to Cake by the Ocean.
A worthy opponent.
So that's our powerhouse four, Freaks.
Somebody that I used to know,
Call Me Maybe and Cake by the Ocean.
I'm happy.
I think it's good.
Yeah, I think it's a great four.
Any of those could be the winner.
ZM's Brie and Clint podcast.
The semi finals are live if you want to go and vote.
Have you voted?
No, I haven't. I'll do it in the ads.
Who are you voting for?
I don't know, because it depends on who's against who.
So I'll tell you what the battles are and you tell me.
The first battle is Carly Rae Jepsen, CRJ versus Freaks, Timmy Trumpet. I'll vote Freaks.
Savage, I want Savage to go through to the final but he's not a one-hit wonder
so I'm torn. You're a freak. Cake by the Ocean versus somebody that I used to know.
Oh, I've got to go kiwi again. I'll go somebody that I used to know.
I'm going call me baby, hundi-pee,
and probably have to go somebody that I used to know.
Yeah, it's going to be very interesting
to see how it plays out. I'll see how I feel at the moment.
I think it's going to be tight.
Yeah, could be tight.
Hey guys, gather in, gather in.
I've got a would you rather.
I've got another would you rather.
This is a good one, in my opinion.
The would you rather that's on the table today is simple.
Would you rather get given a million dollars tax free, no questions asked.
No, you haven't heard the other thing.
Yes, please.
Yes, please.
Yep, take it.
Or the offer of a hundred million, but the only way you can get the hundred million
is if you hit a hole in one on any golf course,
any hole of your choice,
and you have one year to do it.
Okay.
Cool, I'll go first.
I have played golf with myself before.
I'll take the million, please.
You take in the million.
Do you get as many attempts as you want?
Yes, you get as many attempts as you want.
It would become your job.
Right, so you could spend all day, every day out there.
Yes.
I would get Lydia Koh on board and go,
I'll give you some money if you help me.
But you don't have any money.
You're just you.
You don't have any money.
No, but if we get the-
You'd have to give her the promise of future money.
If we get that hole in one-
She'd be like, if I get a hole in one this weekend,
I'll get three million dollars.
Lydia Ko is pretty busy.
You could just get a golf coach.
And I think she's got a bit on.
I just wanted to say a cool name and like, feel smart.
Yeah, nice.
That was a good reference. that was a good reference.
I would a hundred percent go for the Hyundai Hyundai mill and I would dedicate every minute of my life for the next year to get a hole in one.
No doubt I back myself. I'm so there. I back myself a hundred percent.
You'd have to quit your job. Yeah. And you'd have to back yourself like you said
that it's gonna come off.
Yep.
And if it didn't.
What are the, okay wait.
You've ruined your life.
What are the odds of hitting a hole in one?
Cause loophole. Untrained.
And yeah, with no golfing skill.
Loophole, you could just go to a kids range.
No.
Mini golf?
No, it has to be a legit hole on a golf course.
What about like the Popo hole in one?
No.
The odds of an average golfer making a hole in one with no training are roughly one...
What?
Oh, mate.
This is going to be a piece of cake for me.
I'm going to get this done in three months.
One in 12,000. Oh, that's fine. That's a piece of cake. You. I'm gonna get this done in three months. One in 12,000. Oh, that's
fine. That's a piece of cake. You can do that in a week. In a bag. We're rich. All day. I could hit 12,000 shots in a day.
Done. 12,000. One in 12,000. Oh, now he's doing some math. For professional golfers, the odds
improve to about one in two and a half thousand due to their
skill and precision.
You'd end up a professional golfer by the end of the year.
I guess that's just 32 strikes a day.
Piece of cake.
That's easy.
Yeah, you could do that.
And I would research the easiest golfing hole in the world to hit a hole in one and then I
would go and live there and I would just just stay on that hole.
Just eyes on that hole you know just don't take my eyes off the hole.
The hole's the goal. The hole is the goal. The hole's the goal baby. The Hyundai mill.
Well if the Mowbray family are listening at the moment and they want to put a
hundred million dollars up for Bree to attempt this. Keen as. Mate I'll do it A handy mill. Well if the Mowbray family are listening at the moment and they want to put a hundred
million dollars up for Bree to attempt this.
Keen as.
Mate, I'll do it for less.
Hundred bucks.
Okay, well let's not get crazy.
You've got to leave your job.
Yeah, let's not get crazy.
I'm not leaving my job for a hundred bucks.
Not yet.
Alright, Bree and Clint, we're back.
There it is, Bree and Clint.
There's a guy in the news today who was supposed to be on that Air India flight that crashed
over the weekend.
This is so scary.
You know I'm not a good flyer.
I've got a fear of flying and this story has really, like I'll be honest, has really rattled
me this week.
And horrible, what a tragic story. If you missed it, 241 people died when the plane
crashed. There was only one person who survived the plane crash. Literally one and it was
a big plane. Big plane, big plane. He threw himself out the emergency door. That's how
the person survived. Is that what happened? He person survived. He opened the door as the plane was going down and jumped out and he was the
241 dead. He was the only survivor and I guess this guy that we're about to talk
about as well. He's the other survivor. Owen Jackson is the guy's name. He's in
the news today. He's a 31 year old dad and he was in India for work. He's a
British guy who was in India for work. He's a British guy who was in India for work.
He was meant to be on the flight that crashed. He was booked on it. He was going on it and
at the very last minute he decided to change his flight to a different one.
But why? What's the reason?
He hasn't said why, but for whatever reason he's gone, I can't make that one or that flight
doesn't work for me anymore. So he's, he's, he's booked himself.
Because that doesn't happen all that often where people are changing their flights.
Like I know it does happen. Yeah. Especially business flights because you can, but
not all that common. The thing is though, he didn't tell his wife that he wasn't on
the plane. Oh my god. And she knew that he
was on an Air India flight leaving that airport at that time and she saw the new
story and she thought he was dead. Well she would. She would. Yeah. And he wasn't.
And how long did it take him to contact her? He hasn't talked about that. Was he like
I'll chat to her when I get home. Yeah. Either way, he has cheated death.
Big time.
You buy a lotto ticket that day, you thank your lucky stars, you hug your bloody kids,
you do all of those things because that was your plane.
That was your plane and you were booked on it.
You had a seat on that flight.
And these things do happen.
Someone has text through and I forgot about this, but now they've jogged my memory.
It says, like Seth MacFarlane,
who was meant to be on one of the planes
that hit the Twin Towers,
but missed it because he was hungover and got up late.
Seth MacFarlane, the guy who makes Family Guy?
Yes.
He was meant to be on the-
Yes.
Have you never heard him tell that story?
I'm pretty sure he's told it on the Graham Norton show once.
Oh my god. A hangover saved his life.
Pretty- yeah. That's the best hangover you'll ever have.
I don't know how, I don't know what kind of stories we're going to get out of this,
but I feel like we should ask the question.
Do you believe that you've cheated death before there was some decision that you made that if you
hadn't made that decision or if that thing hadn't happened like a hangover
that made you sleep in or something like that you're can you'd be dead right now
did you final destination it yeah if you want to share it 0800 dial ZM is our
phone number or you can text your story into 9696 about the time that you cheated death.
We're talking about the times that you cheated death these stories are all really spooky and
quite scary. There's a person in the news today who was meant to be on that Air India flight that
crashed. 241 people died, one person survived. The
person who survived jumped out of the emergency door of the plane. What once it
had come to a stop? I think when it was going down. Oh my god. I don't know the
details but he did jump out of that door. The person who didn't get on the flight
that we were talking about, I've just read that person, the seat they were
booked in before they cancelled their booking was the seat that the person
jumped out of the plane from. No. It was the same seat. No it wasn't. Seat 11, I think it was 11A or something.
Whatever it was. No. So the person that he survived by not getting on the plane
and then the only other person who survived was rebooked in his seat.
That's wild. Which is... yeah that that's scary. So we
want to know this afternoon has there been a situation in your life where you
believe you cheated death? Jenna's here. Hi Jenna. Hi Jenna.
What happened Jenna? I was like nine years old and I was watching from my bedroom window as wood was being delivered.
Yeah okay. And I'm not sure what it was for, but it was massive, like long slag.
And it was on one of those tippy trailers on a truck.
Yeah.
And so I watched it as it came up and I thought,
oh, I might just get a better view down the hall from the lounge.
And as I was leaving...
Oh, no....the truck must have come close and all the wood just went flying through the window and would have just been all out of sight.
No! The window where you were watching before?
Yeah, I was right there, it was glass everywhere in my room, all over my bed and the wood was through my window.
I've got gooseies.
But where I was right standing.
Any millennial who...
Was it your time, Jenna? Jenna just was not your time any
millennial who's seen Final Destination cannot handle lengths of wood on the
back of a truck can they yeah it's just now you've just you've just confirmed it
for me Jenna that's crazy someone else said on the
text machine hello Indy here I cheated death when our family
were in a car accident in 2007.
I was so close to taking my seatbelt off
to grab something on the floor before my sister screamed.
We ended up rolling the car three times still to this day,
I think, my sister, otherwise I may not have been here.
I just got goosebumps from that one.
What?
That's crazy. Someone said,'m not a hundred percent sure but I think Ian Thorpe was
supposed to be at the Twin Towers the day that the planes hit. I think he was meant to be
there for a conference or a meeting or something. Isn't that crazy the butterfly
effect of these things? His decision not to go meant it saved his life and then he went on to
become one of the most famous Olympians ever of all time. Someone said I crashed into a barbed wire fence and a
concrete post came up and smashed through my windscreen the only reason it
didn't hit me was because it hit my steering wheel. Those ones were your
inches away. Yeah like and you just think I mean it could have ended so
differently. My godfather was meant to be working in one of the twin towers on 9-11, but his meeting
got cancelled that morning.
We're talking about people who cheated death.
And Dan is here.
Hi Dan.
Hi Dan.
Hi guys.
Tell us Dan, when did you cheat death?
So in 2009 in Darling Harbour in Sydney where I was living at the time, I went through a
satellite late at night to pick up a key for a store I was running. Okay. And a car went through the
red light and smashed into my passenger side door. Yep. If I hadn't turned the
wheel with my right hand I would have smashed straight to a restaurant shop
and died. Wow. So reaction time just happened to turn the wheel at the right
time otherwise it would have gone straight through their window.
And just from you Dan, what are the correct positions on the wheel to hold it?
Ten and two.
Ten and two, okay good.
You don't tics and drive do you Dan? You would never.
No, I've pulled over.
Dan knows better.
Ten and two, ten and two.
Someone said my parents were booked to go on the Mount Erebus flight.
If you don't know the Mount Erebus flight, it's a very famous New Zealand aviation tragedy
where an Air New Zealand plane was doing a scenic flight over Antarctica and it crashed
into a mountain and everybody died.
They said my parents were booked on the Erebus flight, but my dad cancelled and my mum decided
last minute that she wasn't going due to family circumstances. The crazy thing is this is before my
parents knew each other and got married. Crazy to think now that if they'd been
on that flight I literally wouldn't exist. And this is what makes me think
sometimes we're living in a simulation. Yeah some people would go fate.
Yeah but that's like you know fate or simulation. They didn't know each other
and they were both meant to be on the Erebus flight and then they end up getting
married. Yeah it's unbelievable. Dene's here. Hi Dene. Hi Dene. Dene are you with us? Hi.
Hi there. When did you cheat death Dene? It wasn't me, it was my partner at the time. I was going out with a Scottish guy and do
you remember the bombings in London on the Tube?
Oh yeah, that was horrible. It was horrible. He was obviously Scottish,
he liked to drink quite a bit and he didn't get up in time. Didn't get on the tube he should have been on,
on the line he should have been on
and so he didn't get blown up.
Wow.
Because of, again, because of the hangover.
The hangover.
Yep, hangover and too much drinking, saved him.
I feel like I need to be more grateful for hangovers now.
I feel like I need to drink more.
Mm.
I feel like I need to cancel Dry July.
Yeah, that's unbelievable, Den. Thanks for sharing that story.
Okay.
Lots of really spooky stories. Thank you for sharing them, guys. There's too many to get
through.
Did you see the train crash one?
No.
There was, hold on, let me find it. It was pretty amazing. Someone's grandma was-
Oh, the Tangiwai disaster one.
Yeah. Did you see that?
No.
I can't find it now, but...
Oh, here it is.
Not me, but my nan was supposed to be aboard the train that crashed in the 1953 Tangiwai
disaster killing 151 people.
It was supposedly love that made her stay and not take the train.
Again, if she had met that person and fallen in love and then not got on that train, then
you literally wouldn't exist and neither would your parents.
That's like a movie plot line.
You know?
Wild.
All right, count your blessings, everybody.
ZM's Bree and Clint podcast.

It's 8th of November, 1982.
You've crushed that Ava, well done that means mum was 16 in 1998 and here's her birthday banger. It's been one week since you looked at me.
Threw your arms in the air and took you crazy.
Five days since you tackled me.
I said I'd put my burns on my body.
I said I'd put my hands in the air since the afternoon.
What a banger, Ava, do you like it?
Yesterday you forgave me.
I'm not just dancing in the car.
I think she likes it.
She likes it, good results.
That's what we want.
Okay, wait there, Ava.
Very excited.
So cute.
Let's go to Kylie for their birthday banger.
Hi Kylie.
Hi Kylie.
Hey, Tang, how's it going?
Good, thank you.
How's your day been?
I have to say, long time listener, first time caller.
Good work, Kylie!
Go Kylie, go Kylie!
You weren't going to miss out on saying that were you Kylie?
Sometimes you've got to cram it in there because otherwise we'll just talk all over you Kylie.
I know, I know.
They can't shut us up Kylie.
Well done.
That's what you played for and we love it.
Hey, we're glad you're finally here.
The only way this could be more perfect is if Kylie gets a Kylie Minogue song for her birthday banger.
So let's do it. Kylie, what's your date of birth?
Oh, I think I'm a bit old,
but it's the 4th of November, 1980.
Alright, I feel like you're in the pocket, Kylie.
You were 16 in 1996, and here's your birthday banger.
If you wanna be my lover
Oh, I think it was better.
Making love forever
Friendship never ends
Were you a Spice Girl fan, Kylie?
100%.
Who was it?
I was supposed to be ironic, but secretly loved it.
Yep.
Absolute dinger.
You had to pick one, which Spice Girl would you be?
Sporty.
Sporty.
100%.
I would hook up with probably, is that the question?
No, that wasn't the question.
Okay, not the question.
And we already know it's sporty.
Yeah, why not? Wait there, Kylie, we've got. And we already know it's sporty. Yeah. Why not?
Wait there, Kylie.
We've got to choose between the bare naked ladies,
the weak end and the spice girls.
Oh, I like them all.
I'm going to vote for the bare naked ladies
because I've never said that before.
I've got to go with Ava and Ava's mum,
the bare naked ladies.
Ava, you've won.
Ava's mum, are you there too?
It's very exciting this one goes out to you guys. What's your mum's name Ava?
Angela. Angela and Ava the winners of birthday banger today from the year 1998 is the Beer Naked Ladies on ZM.
It's been one week since you looked at me
Cracked your hand in the side and said I'm hungry
The ZM podcast network
The Trash TV and home runs the Robbie
Beer Naked Ladies on ZM
The winner of birthday banger from 1998
and that might be the first time that song's been played on ZM since 1998.
You reckon?
I don't know.
Have you ever heard it on ZM?
Not recently.
No.
Maybe you're on a Shrek film.
Not on our seven year tenure anyway.
No.
Don't know how much Be Naked ladies Jason Peejo were playing before us.
Yeah, can't say it's a common spin on the old Bre'en Clint show.
Ava the 11 year old called up
to do her mum Angela's birthday banger and she absolutely smashed it. Shout out
to Ava, the energy was perfect you know. And shout out to this text, that's the
worst birthday banger ever. Why didn't you play Spice Girls? I mean Spice Girls
is the goat. That's the reference. Someone said this song reminds
me of American Pie when Jim is dancing in his room. Is that where that song was from?
I don't think so. No? I don't think so. Maybe. He's dancing to a weird sultry song I think.
Someone else said... I could be wrong. Someone else said, is it appropriate to say Here's
the Bear Naked Ladies in 2025? Look, they probably wouldn't name their band that now, but this is a different time.
What do you think they named it after?
Don't know.
Like do you reckon that was someone's mum's name or something?
Yeah, yeah.
Something like that.
It's ZM's Bree and Clint podcast.
Today is a Thursday, so we are going on search of a-
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Yeah?
Thursday or Tuesday?
Oh it's Tuesday.
Tuesday.
We're still doing it on a Tuesday?
Yeah we're still doing it on a Tuesday.
Good because it's time for...
NAME IN A HATE STAIR!
That's right.
Good catch.
Can you guys believe that today if somebody answers the phone with the correct name they will win $1,300.
I reckon we were closed last week. It's a very tough ask. We get a random
business and a random name and if that person answers the phone, yeah they get
the prize money but more importantly for us we will have found a name and a
haystack. Exactly right it's gonna be the biggest coincidence in radio land and to make it even more random,
we get one thing from one producer
and the other thing from the other.
Who is picking the name today?
That'll be me.
All right, Claude, it's your time to shine.
What name will we go with?
The first name that popped into my head was Charlie,
which is kind of unisex, so kind of-
You're so big on this unisex thing now, eh?
Yeah, it's helpful.
I think it gives you double the chance.
Yeah, 100% chance.
Charlie, you'd take Charles.
Oh!
Yes?
Yeah.
Wait, no, you wouldn't take my Nicola,
but that's a different name. What if?
His name is Charles, but everyone calls him Charlie.
Yeah, yeah.
Then you have to accept that.
Aren't most Charlies a Charles?
Where are we calling Ella, where are we calling?
Oh, we're calling a mechanic in Nelson, pit stop.
If a mechanic in Nelson answers the phone
and he goes, hello Nelson mechanics, Charles speaking.
Charles speaking.
We have a moment to say to them,
does anybody ever call you Charlie?
Yes. Yes.
And if he says no.
Then it doesn't count.
Then it doesn't count.
Are you comfortable with that?
Yeah, I think that's fair.
I'm not gonna lie.
Can't remember the last time I've been to Charlie.
Don't feel like there's heaps of them around.
My sister's Charlie.
What about Chuck?
My neighbor's Charlie.
Would we take Chuck?
No.
No.
It's Charlie or it's nothing.
What is the name of our mechanics and Nelson
that we're calling?
Charlie.
Charlie.
We're calling, no, no, what's the name
of the mechanic business? Oh! If we're calling? Charlie. Charlie. We're calling, no no what's the name of the mechanic business? If we're calling Charlie's workshop, then that's a short thing. Pit stop. Pit stop.
Nelson. Okay Claudia please connect the call where today we're looking for Okay.
Hi, Pitsop, this is Tony. Oh, g'day Tony, it's Breanne Clint here from ZM,
the radio station, how are you?
Hey, I'm good, how are you?
That's good, thank you mate.
We play a game on our show called Name in a Haystack,
and if your name hada been Charlie,
we would've given you $1300.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
Tony!
You don't have a Charlie that works there do you?
Hang on, sitting right next to me, Charlie.
Yeah I'll bet.
God you guys sound so similar.
Oh well it wasn't to be today, but thank you for your time, we appreciate it.
No worries. Do you want us to sing the pit stop jingle to you on the way out
absolutely do that that'll be great
do no no no no no
pit stop you've come to the right place you don't know the pit stop song Bri
pit stop you've come to the right place
she's a fast learner
go see Tony and his mate Charlie
thanks Tony we appreciate you
no worries at all, thank you.
See you legend boy.
Have a good day.
Bye.
Bugga!
He was lovely, wasn't he?
He was a good man.
He was a nice man.
Bye legend.
Damn.
We could use Tony next week and call Tony's tire service.
What, yeah!
That's a good plan.
Yeah, I like it.
I mean, we're setting ourselves up for success.
Why don't we do that then?
Okay.
Should we do that?
I don't hate it. Is that cheating?
Not really. It's highly unlikely that Tony from Tony's Tire Service, which is a huge franchise,
will be answering the phone. But imagine if he did. Then we could call, if we don't get that,
we could call Brownie from Brownie's mattress direct. We could call... What's the briscoe's lady
called? Oh yeah. We'll look for Les Mills himself. Yeah, we'll call Liz Mills and look for Liz.
Yeah, hey is Liz there?
They probably will think we're taking the piss.
Are you joking?
His name's Liz Mills.
I never knew that.
Liz Mills.
His name's Liz.
Yeah, real person.
His name's Liz.
Short for Leslie, yeah.
Anyway, we were looking for Charlie and we didn't find her.
But we did get Tony and he was a legend.
And Ella learned about Liz. So I and we didn't find it. But we did get Tony and he was a legend. And Ella learned about Les.
So I guess we're up on balance.
This quest to find the greatest one hit wonder of the 2010s has consumed us
for the last week and hopefully you've enjoyed helping us whittle down these songs as well.
We started out with 64 songs and we're down to four. There are only four songs left in contention. They didn't go
up even less than an hour ago. Yeah. Do you want to know early what's happening?
Yes, yeah. In the semi-finals. Okay so our first battle is Carly Rae Jepsen
battle is Carly Rae Jepsen versus Freaks. Timmy Trumpet and of course featuring Savage. We have to point out because if
you're just joining us now at the semi-finals Savage is not the one hit
wonder here. No. He is not the one hit wonder, it's Timmy Trumpet. Because technically this song is Timmy Trumpet's. Featuring Savage. And it's
his only hit. And it's a great hit to have. Exactly. Someone texted us earlier and
said that this song plays at the Warriors every game now. So all Waz fans are
gonna be voting for Freaks. Okay, update has been up for about an hour.
Carly Rae Jepsen versus Freaks, Timmy Trumpet. Currently 50-50.
Really?
Can't be separated. There's already a couple of thousand votes.
You voted Carly Rae, I voted Freaks. We are 50-50.
We're 50-50. Okay, next battle.
Yep, that's the first one.
Is, of course, Cake by the Ocean.
Dnce versus Gortiette and Kimbra. Completely unintentionally we've ended up with two Kiwis
in the in the semi-finals. Yes. And it could be two Kiwis in the in the
semifinals. And it could be two Kiwis in the final as well. It could be. It really could be.
Update. It is a 60-40 split to somebody that I used to know in the lead.
That feels about right. Yeah. It does. It's not the way that it's going to stay though.
The voting has been open for 55 minutes.
It will stay open for 24 hours and we'll be down to two songs at 5 o'clock tomorrow.
