The ZM Podcast Network G'day everybody, welcome to the Brie and Clint podcast. Without Brie today, she's away on a secret project. Secret project. Secret. Usually the thing to do on a radio show, this is what they teach you at radio school by the way, if someone is away, you start a rumour that they've got diarrhoea.

Oh yeah. That's actually Radio 101 And you learnt this from the degree You haven't actually finished Yes I said it's 101 I sat 101 And I sat 202

I just didn't finish 303 You're all high and mighty over there With your broadcasting school degree You're not better than me You're not better than me. It doesn't mean shit that degree. You're not better than me, okay?

It doesn't mean shit. I'm kidding. Hey! It doesn't. Your parents paid a lot of money for you to get that degree, okay? My parents did not pay

anything for that degree. Nothing? No, nothing. Nothing? Of course they didn't. I was just talking to Ben earlier about my student loan. Yeah, good.

I was just putting a bit of hate on you. Ben was on a scholarship for his. That's true. Yeah, so. Well, you're a bit of heat on you. Ben was on a scholarship for his. That's true. Yeah, so. Well, you're one of those, they actually do,

there's heaps of those like small, like you know how you're from? Christchurch is not a small town. No, no, no. No, I don't want to disclose where Ben's from in Christchurch, but. You don't get a scholarship just for being in Christchurch.

No, because Ben lives a little bit outside of Christchurch and I know that that district outside of Christchurch, which is still part of Christchurch, they do scholarship. So I thought that was actually, could have been legit. Ben, any truth to this? I don't know about that. Because I was joking about the scholarship

but if you're on a scholarship, show me the money, baby. Show me the money. No, I was on the scholarship. No, Ben was on the scholarship of mum and dad. So he's starting rumours about each other. This is Radio 101. And Bree definitely has diarrhoea. I was pretending I was above that,

but I'm not above that gag at all. It's diarrhoea. It's everywhere. Put a towel down. She'll be back tomorrow, though. Yeah. That's when the Imodium kicks in, later tonight. Clearly a joke, just in case. any important admin we need to cover off because

Well done, Rhys. There's 50 bucks coming your way thanks to KFC. Yes, mate. I want to talk about this cat, mate. Bree and Clint. I want to talk about this cat, which is all over the internet today. The internet usually has an animal that it's obsessed with, and right now it's a cat from Turkey called Midas. The cat was born with two sets of ears, and it's racked up 55,000 Instagram followers in a month.

The ears, to describe it to you on this cat, so picture a normal cat, like a normal Russian blue. It is a Russian blue, I think. It's a cat. It looks like a Russian blue, right? Yeah, I think so. Yeah. Ears are where they should be.

And then just inside those ears, but on the head, so just below them, is another set of miniature ears, but not so miniature that you're like, oh, those aren't really ears. They're like perfectly formed ears. They're just smaller like pixie ears. Ears inside ears. Ears inside ears.

Yeah. Yeah. The cat's name is Midas or at Midas underscore X24. Terrible Instagram handle. Sort that out. You've got 55,000 followers. Imagine if Grumpy Cat's handle was grumpy underscore cat x 431.

Things would not have been the same, would they? Definitely not. Also, give the cat a better name. Midas doesn't say anything about how it's got two ears. Or does it? It's actually so cute though. Yeah, it's very cute. They've talked to a vet and they said that one

pair of the ears are fully functional and the smaller front set of ears on this four-eared cat are purely decorative. Right. Nice. Yeah. So it's just a freak of nature thing and because it's like perfectly symmetrical

the cat is going to be rich. Like that cat. Some spond be rich. Oh, yeah. That cat. Some Spondeles. Yeah, absolutely. Where's the cat food companies at? Fussy Cat, Animate. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Get them involved.

Whatever the Animate of Turkey is, sign that cat up now. Get some earmuffs. Earmuffs, yeah. Headphone company. Oh. Beats by Dre. That would make sense. Yeah.

Yeah, it's going to happen for this cat. Grumpy Cat's family, very, very rich. Very rich. Still milking that cat after it died too. Like the Grumpy Cat, it's not the dead cat, but the idea of the cat. They took so many photos while the cat was alive. Well, I don't know if it's that bad.

Are they still posting? Yeah, they still post. And it's memory. Yeah. Well, maybe the cat had some deals still left on its contract that they had to execute. Yeah, ambassador. Yeah. I wonder if we... Would you call Grumpy Cat a freak of nature?

Not really, right? No. It was just a... He just had a grumpy looking face. Yeah. Just a character. This cat though, freak of nature. Yeah.

For years. Yeah, for sure. In the nicest way possible, freak of nature. And I wonder if we can talk to some people this afternoon who have a pet which is a bit of a freak of nature. Like do you have a, I saw this on TikTok the other day, a two-headed turtle. Have you seen those?

No. Tiny little aquarium like fish tank turtle, but it's got two heads. So they exist. Have you got a cat with two tails? Have you got a two-legged dog Like it's got both rear legs And it's had to learn to walk standing up

Those exist, eh? Like Mr G's dog Yes, like Mr G's dog Or have you got And the term freak of nature is a bit rough for this one But have you got a dog who is on wheels? You know those dogs? That's cool though.

It is cool. That's one skucks dog. Especially if you get at those spinner hubcaps as well. 0800 dials at M. Do you have an animal, any animal whatsoever, that is just a little bit of a freak? We'd like to hear from you this afternoon. You can call 0800 dials at M.

Or you can text us on 9696. And does it have an Instagram account? Much like the four-eared cat. The most famous cat on the internet right now is a cat called Midas who was born with four ears. Two ears on either side of its head. One full set of Russian blue pointy ears and a tiny little mini set inside those ears just further down the head.

It's very cute, but it's a total freak of nature thing and it's so perfect as well, like it's perfectly symmetrical. So we're wondering, do you have an animal which is a bit of a freak of nature out there? What's the unique thing about your animal and have you started an Instagram account yet? Like are the jobs rolling in for your unique animal?

Tiana has messaged us. Hi Tiana. Hello. Just like the four-eared cat Midas, you've got a freak of nature dog. Yes, I do. So he wasn't born like it, but as he's gotten older, he started to lose hair on his tail, and now he's like a Jack Russell with a rat's tail. You know, rats have no hair on their tail.

Yeah, just that skin, just a skin tail. Yeah, it's so gross. Yeah, it's so gross. Yeah, it's freaky because Jack Russell's have got quite a thin, pointy tail as well, right? Just like a rat. Yeah, it's disgusting. I'm trying to remember what Jack Russell's have. It's like the length of a finger kind of thing. Is that what Jack Russell's have?

No, he's got quite a long tail. Yeah, right. Okay. It is skinny and it's gross. Have you thought about starting an Instagram account for his... Quite a long tail. Yeah, right. Okay. It is skinny and it's gross. Have you thought about starting an Instagram account for his... No, because he's probably going to die soon. Gross, gross bald. Oh, Tiana.

He's pretty old. We've had so many scenes with him, he's pretty old. Yeah, right, right, right. Well, good. He might have a weird rat's tail, but it's your weird rat's tail, eh? Yeah, that's my Freddie. Yeah, there you go, Freddie. Okay, thank you.

Let's talk to Amber. Kia ora, Amber. Hi. Hi. That Russell sounds terrifying. A little bit, eh? A little bit. Because you see the front of the dog first and you're like, oh, cute, cute.

Run your hand down its back and then you get to this erect, scaly, hairless. Giant rat's tail, yeah. It would look a little bit like another thing, wouldn't it, with no hair on it? Or pink and... Anyway, what sort of animal do you have? Head. Unfortunately, my baby's passed away,

but I had a mini-lot bunny, and it was born with one ear. A single-eared bunny? A single-eared bunny? A single-eared bunny. He was adorable, mate. So it wasn't like it had to be amputated. It actually came out with one ear. He was born with one ear, perfectly healthy, but one ear. Yeah, right.

So he was, of course, named Onesie. Oh, yeah, Onesie's good. Was it on the right side, or was the single ear, like, in the centre of the rabbit's head? No, it was on the left side, so it was just, yeah, onesies good. Was it on the right side or was the single ear like in the centre of the rabbit's head? No, it was on the left side. So it was just, yeah, I don't know why he was born like that. Oh, my God. And it seemed, because mini lops, the ears kind of normally,

aeroplane they call it, so they half flop and then they fully flop by the time they're about eight weeks. Yeah, right. But his would just flop backwards and forth for like four years. Do you realise you had a lop? What are they, lop-eared bunnies? Your lop-eared bunny was lopsided. Yeah, right.

That's a good one. Thank you. I worked on that one all day. Thanks, Amber. There you go. Some freaks of nature out there. We did have a text from someone who has a cat with thumbs, like the Prime Minister's cat had.

What was Jacinda Ardern's cat called? Paddles. Paddles the cat was a polydactyl cat with thumbs, which is really weird. That's the only thing that means that we're at the top of the food chain is those thumbs. So if too many cats get those, watch out. Bree and Clint.

Time for the latest. From iHeart Radio. This is the latest. From iHeartRadio, this is the latest. Live from LA with Dean McCarthy. Bree's off today, back tomorrow. Dean's with us though. He's live in New York City right now

where you've just been to the premiere of Lady Gaga's movie House of Gucci, Dean. Oh my goodness. It is so wild. It's freezing here in New York and it premiered tonight in New York City. You might have seen they had the UK premiere a few days ago in London,

and it's just so fabulous. Okay, here's the deal, right? House of Gucci, starring Lady Gaga. It's the story of the Gucci family. I won't ruin the story in case you don't know much about it, but it is a true story based on a true family and real people, and Lady Gaga plays, obviously, the main character. I mean, star-studded cast.

I mean, Jared Leto, who I caught up with tonight, so cool. Adam Driver's in it. Al Pacino's in it. Salma Hayek's in it. Ridley Scott directed it. And, of course, Lady Gaga as well. So incredible. The fashions, the accents.

So Lady Gaga, right, when she was shooting the film over in Rome for nine months, she stayed in character during the entire time. Now, what I mean by that is even when she was home in her hotel room by herself, she was still in character and communicating and living life as the Patricia, which is the person she played. That's pretty full on. Yeah. I think you'd want to do that too

because there's a lot of pressure, especially when you're Lady Gaga. There are people out there who will want you to fail as you parlay your skills into acting a bit more. And even though she's Italian, to do that specific type of Italian accent would be hard. So did she nail it, Dean? Is she convincing to you as someone from Gucci who has an Italian accent?

Yes, she is very convincing. It is excellent. I think she does a phenomenal job. Jared Leto, he stole the show. He is unrecognisable. His transformation is so out of this world. We talked about that on the red carpet tonight and we talked about his love of fashion.

He's the best-looking that's like ever been born. Yeah. His fashion is next level. He's one of those guys that doesn't age as well, eh? He's got the vampire blood that Pharrell's got. Yeah, he doesn't age.

Yeah. Awesome. Okay, well, that's the latest. Dean's literally there. He's just been to the premiere in New York of Lady Gaga's House of Gucci.

Thanks very much, Dean. Enjoy New York City. Bye, guys. Bree and Clint. I would like to talk right now about cryptocurrency. A human has been neutralised. That's the crypto banker. That's when you go to the crypto bank.

That's what you hear. That's what you get. You're in now. There's a story that's come up. But before then, Anastasia said something interesting. She just said to us before that crypto guys are the new red flag. Yeah. Really?

That's all my For You page is just, that's just so embarrassing. Really? It's like a guy, like the meme is that a guy comes up to you in a club and he's like, hey, I'm in crypto. Oh, yeah. And that obviously creeps me, the girl out. Yeah, yeah. Talking about crypto should be a red flag.

Having lots. But yeah, Ben's right. If you met. Talking about crypto should be a red flag. Having lots. But yeah, Ben's right. If you met a guy who had 20 bitcoins, that's a green flag. Yeah, that's hot. Surely. Yeah, that's marriage material. By the way, we joked before that Brie was a crypto person.

She just messaged to say all her money's in Dogecoin. Oh, that's good, yeah. That's the one that she's in. Well, that's still crypto. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, that's fine. Oh, no, the one that she's in. Well, that's still crypto. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, that's fine. Oh, no, I'm not saying we were lying. I'm saying we were right.

But if you want the hot financial tip, it's Dogecoin from Bree. Yeah. Ben, you told me today about someone who has made a purchase using some crypto coin because it's all good and well to have it and buy it and sell it and trade it. But could you walk into KFC

and buy a quarter pack kind of thing? Hopefully one day. Maybe one day. Maybe one day. But someone's bought something with some crypto. Yes, someone is, they haven't bought it yet

but a house in Australia is for sale. The house is for sale for $2.3 million. Okay. It's a huge property. It's a ranch. Yeah.

It comes with an island and everything. An island? Yeah, it's got an island with it and everything. It's massive. Okay, yeah. Anyway, you can buy it

for $2.3 million or you can buy it for 2.3 million or you can buy it for 30 Bitcoin. Interesting. Yeah. Now, the price of Bitcoin's always changing. Have you done the calculation? I've done the calculation. Okay, sure.

So the property is $2.3 million. Yeah. If I paid 30 Bitcoin, that's technically $2.56 million. Oh, so why would you... Yeah, so it's a bit sneaky there. Why would you pay more in Bitcoin? Yeah.

Because you could just sell your Bitcoin. You could just sell it and be fine. And then pocket $200,000. Yeah. But also you could do the deal and then your Bitcoin could crash because it goes up and it goes down. It goes down, yeah, exactly. Yeah, right.

Also, we don't all really understand Bitcoin. No, we don't. No, we don't. Did you want to... We're going to ask people to call up if they've actually got some crypto. It doesn't have to be Bitcoin. Yeah. Just don't. No, we don't. Did you want to, we're going to ask people to call up if they've actually got some crypto. It doesn't have to be Bitcoin. Yeah.

Just want to know, are you in the cryptos? It doesn't have to be that much either. Or is your partner in the cryptos or something? Did you want to reveal the person you know who's got some cryptos? Or is that a family secret? Close relatives got,

what's the one that sounds like a metal, like uranium or something? Ethereum. Ethereum. Ethereum. Yeah, yeah, about a couple hundred grand in there. A couple hundred thousand dollars? Yeah, yeah. The guy's taken though, what a shame.

Oh, he's your family member. Oh, no, no. Not through, no. Boy, if you weren't my brother. Boy, if you were my brother. Boy, if you weren't married. You're close. If you weren't married and my brother. I don't have a brother.

I'd be so hot for you right now. No. Do you have some crypto, like a decent amount? And do you want to flex on us this afternoon? We'd love to know about it. Bree and Clint. Now, don't tune out, okay? If you're sick of your boyfriend talking about crypto, don't tune out, okay? If you're sick of your boyfriend talking about crypto,

don't tune out, okay? Don't tune out. Why should you not tune out? I don't know. If you hate crypto, there's not much here for you. But we're going to talk to people who have got a lot of it. Someone texted in to tell us that their husband has, on a good day, $160,000 of cryptocurrency.

And on a bad day, $140,000. It goes up and down. But they said, do not call me. I will not answer. I'm sick of hearing about it and talking about it. He updates me about 50 times a day. Legend. Hey, money like that is worth updating.

Yeah, that's true. Nah, everything gets boring in a marriage after a while. You're like, shut up about your crypto coins. We get that. So that's why we want to give you the chance to brag to us this afternoon. Have you got like a serious chunk of crypto? This person wants to remain anonymous.

Hello, anonymous. Oh, hey, how's it going? Good to be on the radio. Good. Oh, good to have you here. Even if you do want to remain anonymous, is that because you have your crypto via ill-gotten gains?

I don't know. I don't need to be anonymous. My name's Matt. Oh, Matt. Okay, Matt. How much crypto? Well, first of all, what crypto have you got?

I've got tons of different coins. I've got some tokens too, but a bit of Bitcoin, Cardano, Ethereum, Saitama. That's like a dog coin. Yeah. What's the value of your crypto wallet? It's around 30K right now, but it goes up and down.

Damn, that's good going. Yeah, best decision of my life. How much money do you reckon you've put in to get that $30,000? Well, I started in March, so maybe like $20,000. It goes up and down, but I'm getting into NFTs now. Oh, right. I'm selling some JPEGs online. NFTs.

We've talked about NFTs, the non-fungible tokens. Yeah, so you basically buy a JPEG and you try and flip it for a profit jeez you'll be you'll be excited you're using words

that if if a boomer heard you talking they'll be like he's speaking a foreign language yeah and that's what

everyone says to me yeah right you'll be excited about the metaverse then won't you oh it's exciting Facebook eh good change

okay Matt good stuff he's got 30 grand worth of crypto Chelsea's here hi Chelsea hello good to hear a lady in the crypto He's got 30 grand worth of crypto. Chelsea's here. Hi, Chelsea. Ta-da. Good to hear a lady in the crypto game.

Have you got a bit of crypto? Oh, it's my partner, unfortunately. I'm one of those ones that get talked about crypto off my head. Are you a crypto widow? You've lost your partner to cryptocurrency. Yes, I have. He earns about $1,000 a week mining his crypto on his computer. Really?

Yep. And I bet you get constant updates on how much he's made as well. Oh, every single hour of the day. Oh, babe, once I offset the power bill, we're about $980 in credit this week. Does that sound about right? And how much cryptocurrency has he got? Is it enough to set you guys up? Are you guys going to get rich off it? No, I don't think we'll get rich off it. He mainly takes it out and then buys graphics cards

so that he can mine more. Oh, right. Okay. It's an investment for him. But no, he makes a good amount on three different sorts of crypto. But no, it's something just about work. Yeah, right. Okay, good.

Anastasia described CryptoGuys as a red flag. You would disagree? You think crypto guys are hot? No, I must say, if I knew he was into crypto before we started dating six years ago, I might not have. And Chelsea, that is the brutal honesty we appreciate on this show. Thank you very much. Thank you.

We'll talk to one more crypto head. Luke's here. G'day, Luke. Hey, how we doing? Good, man. Have you got some cryptocurrency, have you? Yeah, yeah, I've got, I don't know, about 10 cryptos that I've brought.

10 different ones, right. Okay, and in total, like if you were to sell it all today, how much do you think your cryptocurrency is worth? If I sell it all right now, probably about 30 to 35 grand. I haven't looked at it in a few days. Oh, that's decent. Yeah. Yeah.

Wow. Okay. And it's just for fun or is this like your job now? You've gone deep into the crypto world. At the start, it was just for fun. And then now it's turned into a habit, kind of like gambling. Yes. Right.

Yep. Yep. Yeah, right. You're getting sucked in. You're right down the crypto wormhole. Yep. Yeah, right. You're getting sucked in. You're right down the crypto wormhole. Yep. Stay safe. Go well, but stay safe.

Thanks, Luke. We appreciate it. Good. There you go. Are you going to get rich? Probably not. Not if you don't know what you're doing, right? Ben, have you got any cryptos?

Yeah, definitely not that much, though. No, not 30 grand worth, right? No way. Kia ora, this is Toby Mannheim. I'm the host of Gone By Lunchtime, a podcast for the spin-off podcast network all about politics and politicians, with me, Annabel Lee Mather and Ben Thomas, careering

wildly from the very serious to the very ridiculous. It's not for everyone, I don't think it would be Ellen's cup of tea, but you I reckon, will love it. Gone By Lunchtime, grab one now wherever you get your podcasts. This here I reckon love it. Gone by lunchtime. Grab one now wherever you get your podcasts. Bree and Clint. This here is a TikTok video that producer Ben sent through today

which is very good. It's a woman called Jax who has gone viral for sharing the apology and I say that with those little bunny ear things an apology text that her boyfriend sent her.

Well, no, really her ex-boyfriend, isn't it? Yeah, her ex-boyfriend sent it to her and said, just, that's it. Yeah. He, I'll just give you a little bit of context. He hooked up with her flatmate and then sent her this quote-unquote apology text, which she has decided to read out on TikTok

while her friend plays sad violin in the background. It's good. It's a good way to get revenge. So listen to this. This is Jax dramatically recreating her ex-boyfriend's apology text. Adding sad violins to my ex's bullshit apology text. Hey. I know you're probably never going to forgive me for what happened,

but I wanted a chance to explain. I know it wasn't right that I technically hooked up with your roommate, but I've been going through a lot, and that's not who I am. I've been failing most of my classes, and you know I just got fired. So I would really appreciate if you showed me some sort of sympathy and stopped making me feel like a villain. Plus, you've been really busy at work. I've been feeling really alone. I was just really missing you and it was a one-time mistake. I love you so much more than Emily.

What am I supposed to tell my family? I'm sorry, okay? Also, did you change the Netflix password? She added that last part. She definitely added that Netflix part there. Some of my favorite bits in there were where he said he needs some sympathy. Yeah. Like, please, I'm going through a lot right now.

You broke up with me. This is really hard for me. What does he mean by technically hooked up with her flatmate? I have no idea. Yeah. I know it wasn't right that I technically hooked up with her. Technically hooked up with her. And what was the other bit?

Oh, it's her fault because she was at work a lot. Yeah. So really this is a warning for girlfriends everywhere. Oh, yeah. If you don't want your boyfriend to cheat. Yeah. Good song too. Don't work so much.

Yeah, hey, don't work. Bree and Clint. Bree's away today. So we have a fill-in Google master and it's time for Google Down. Google, are you down, down, down, down, down, down, down? What the hell? I think Google's actually... Today, in Bree's absence,

Google Master Ben McDowell will be in charge. Hello, Ben. G'day, guys. I've done it before, so it's fine. Oh, I know. I wasn't doubting your abilities, mate. You did a good job last time. Yeah.

the All Blacks will take on France. What is the population of France? 67.39 million. 65,471,673. I'm right. Yeah, I don't know why you keep reading then, Clint, because Anastasia was right. Well, I got a different answer, I thought. Yeah, right. It's the way keep reading then, Clint, because Anastasia was right. Well, I got a different answer, I thought.

Yeah, right. It's the way Google downworks, Clint. Yeah. My stat, by the way, was as of Tuesday, November 16, 2021. No, but that's not always what Google tells you. It sometimes tells you the inaccurate response. All right. All right, one to you.

Abby, you still with us, mate? You're going to get a point here, OK? I'm here. I'm here. Yeah, this is you. This one's for you. I've got this. All right, mate. You're going to get a point here. I'm here. I'm here. Yeah, this is you. This one's for you. I'm here. I've got this. All right, guys.

50 KFC chicken dollars. You can spend it on the slab if you like. That's out at KFC. Free in Clint. Big news today around the vaccine passports. God, I'm looking forward to the day, the first day where we can go an entire day. And I don't mean as a radio show.

I mean as people where we don't talk about COVID once, like when it's not even news anymore. And then you get into it for a bit and then someone goes COVID and you go, oh, Buzzy, remember that? Remember when we just all stayed home and made our own bread? That'd be a good day when we can just look back. I reckon it's about five years away, realistically.

And that's not me being exaggerating. I think that's probably what it is. But hey, let's not dwell on that. Let's focus on the fact that we've got good news. Auckland's opening up for summer and the whole country now can get their vaccine passport. Ben, being the big nerd burger that he is, already has his vaccine passport, don't you, Ben?

Why does it make me a nerd? Because you are a nerd. Right. You listen to the update, then you're like, oh, I'll go and get it now, didn't you? I did get it earlier this morning. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you big nerd. Okay, well.

Was it hard to get? I want to know, because I haven't done it yet, and I don't actually know how to do, well. Was it hard to get? I want to know because I haven't done it yet and I don't actually know how to do it. So is it hard to get the vaccine passport? Is it complicated? No. It took me probably 60 seconds and it was on my phone. Really?

Yeah, it was super duper quick. Do you have to do it on your phone or can you do it on your computer? Computer or phone. Yeah, either or. I did it on my computer. And then we'll send it to your phone. Yeah, so basically you just go on your...

I sound like a boomerang. Yeah, a little bit. You're okay, mate. Can I do it on my computer. And then we'll send it to your phone. Yeah, so basically you just go on your... I sound like a boomerang. Yeah, a little bit. You're okay, mate. Can I do it on the iPad? Can I do it on the TV with a Chromecast? Can I do it on the TV? Can that Alexia do it that you got us? Can we do it on that? Are we going to Bluetooth that? Okay, and what did you need to get your

vaccine passport? So as long as you've gone to that mycovidrecord.gov website and you've put all your details in already, which I'm assuming... I've done that. I got the email last week. Amazing. If you've done that, then you literally log in, you click one button and it just sends an email to you and you click one little button

and it's straight on my phone. Really? Yeah, it took... I'm not even joking, it was so easy. Is it just a document that lives on your phone? Yeah. Right. Interesting. Also, they send you it as a PDF in the email so you have a physical copy as well. You print it off. Yeah, nice. Yeah, that was my first worry.

My flatmate said that, and they said it's on my phone and it allows me to get into, let's say, restaurants and bars. What if your phone dies on a night out and then you can't get in? Printed, laminated copy. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Now who's the boomer? No, if your phone dies on a night out, your night's over anyway. Yeah, that's true.

You can't get an Uber. You can't find your friends. That's just the beginning of a good night. Or your phone's dead. Yeah, right. Anyway, very easy. Get it tattooed on your forehead or something. Yeah.

The QR code. I've got some details here about it too. So Ben was right. You go to the My COVID Record site. You can actually do it over the phone if you're a total noob as well. And it will include your name, your date of birth, and a QR code like we said.

Where do you need to have the COVID passport, the vaccination passport for? When we go into the traffic light system, you're going to need the certificate to go to concerts, music festivals, bars, restaurants, gyms, sports events. If you want to go to a Blues or a Crusaders or a Chiefs go to concerts, music festivals, bars, restaurants, gyms, sports events. If you want to go to a Blues or a Crusaders or a Chiefs game this summer or the cricket, you're going to need to have a vaccine passport.

You won't need a vaccine passport to go to the supermarket, pharmacies, any health or disability service, food banks or petrol stations. They're not going to lock you out of there. Although I do feel for people who have to work in those places, you know, because you're not going to show vaccination to get in there in case you can't tell I'm very pro-vax. How long is it valid for? This is really interesting.

Your vax certificate that you get is only valid for six months. Yeah. Because after that, they reckon you're going to need a booster. Yeah, and then it'll update it on you. Yeah. On the record anyway. And if you're more than six months out, I think it changes. So it flashes green if you're good to go or red if you need an update and then you get a top

up. And can you use, this is another one I read about, can you use the vaccine passport to travel internationally? That's a different certificate that you can apply for now if you are fancy enough to have overseas travel booked. Oh my God, how weird is it to think about flying

into a different country at the moment? We haven't done that for like two years, but yeah, you can. The big advice on the vaccine passport that I saw today was don't put it on your social media, even though it's a flex to go, oh, look at me, screenshot it, put it up on your Instagram story. They're saying don't do that because on the off chance that someone has the same name as you and they see it, they could screenshot it and then have it on their phone. And then if it says Ben McDowell and then they've got a driver's license that says Ben

McDowell, they can go, look, it's me. And then they could be using yours. Or they could legally change your name. Or they could, yeah, that's another way around it. I'd suit Ben McDow me. Yeah. And then they could be using yours. And yeah. Or they could legally change your name. Or they could. Yeah, that's another way around. I'd suit Ben McDowell. Right. Do you not have the vaccine?

Are you an anti-vaxxer? Oh, that'd be much more easier. Yeah, I should just probably. Yeah, the easiest way is to go and get the. Yeah. There you go. That's the update. Bree and Clint.

There is big Harry Potter news today. And look, I would love to sit here and pretend that I know what I'm talking about when it comes to Harry Potter. But I can't. I read the first book and a half. And I think I've seen the last movie. So here to talk Harry Potter, the biggest Harry Potter nerd burger that I know. He's New Zealand's favourite dancing weatherman. It's Matty McLean. Yeah, look, watching you try and talk about Harry Potter

is like watching a dog walk on its hind legs. Like, it just doesn't quite work. It's very good content, is that what you're saying? Great content, but just confusing. Yeah, right, right, right. Well, that's why we've got you here. As long as I've known you, you've known exactly what Harry Potter house you're in

and you've known all the spells as well. I think you know how to do every spell in the Harry Potter book. So please, Matty, can you tell us what the big Harry Potter news is today? I own my own wand as well. Well, we know you do. I hear you've got your hands on a couple of wands. Clinton. He's a multi-wand wizard.

Look, this is serious news. Sorry, yes, please. Yes, yes, yes. This is so exciting. First of all, it makes me feel a little old, but also I'm so pumped because the entire cast of the Harry Potter film franchise are reuniting for a one-off special.

Wow. Huge news. Yeah. Daniel Radcliffe's going to be there. Rupert Grint's going to be there. Emma Watson's going to be there. This is big. Everyone except Snape and original Dumbledore, right?

Yeah. Rest in peace. We love them. So this is for the 20 year anniversary of the movie, right? It's 20 years since the first movie.

20 years since the first movie, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone or Sorcerer's Stone if you live in the US. Oh, really? Okay.

There's a bonus fact for you. There you go. Do you remember where you were? It's you go. Do you remember where you were? It's 20 years. Do you remember where you were when you watched that Harry Potter film for the first time? I do because we'd just got out of our school camp. Yes.

And so I don't even know if I showered. I think I went straight to the movies to watch it. Because you'd read the books by then, right? You were ready to go. Read the books. Well, read the ones that had come out by that stage, and I was all in. So do you know, is this like the full Friends reunion?

Is it like that same thing? Exactly. In fact, it's going to be on HBO Max as well, which did the Friends reunion. So is it James Corden? It's all out with the nostalgia factor at the moment. Is it going to be James Corden again? Is he hosting the Harry Potter reunion?

Well, he seems to be everywhere, so it wouldn't surprise me. Why do people have so much shade towards James Corden? I don't know, but I've jumped on the bandwagon. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's after you watched Cats,

you were like, oh, he's dead to me. Yeah, exactly. That is big news for all the Harry Potter fans. I know I don't mean to turn it dark, but is J.K. Rowling going to be there? Do Harry Potter fans these days,

do we just take Harry Potter for Harry Potter and just try and ignore the J.K. bit? We pretend like she didn't write it. Yeah. Okay. Well, that'll be a fun one for them to dance around on HBO Max. Exactly. We still need to find out what house you're in, Clint.

Yes. Yeah, I think I'm a Hufflepuff. No, I think I'm a Ravenclaw. Yeah, you're that. Yeah, right. Okay. I know it all. RictoSempra, thank you very much.

That's our Harry Potter expert with the big Harry Potter news, Matty McLean. Thanks, Matty. We missed the dancers. I missed it too, but we'll bring it back at some point. I promise you that. There we go. Bree and Clint. It's my birthday, it's my birthday.

Bree and Clint's birthday banger. So we find out the number one song on your 16th birthday and then we play the best one in full. Producer Anastasia is manning the stats desk today. Hi Anastasia. Hello. Hello. Let's meet our first contestant today. It's Meryl.

Hi, Meryl. Hi, it's actually Meryly. Meryly. Yeah. Meryly, I apologise. What is your birthday, Meryly? 2nd of November, 1995. Okay.

All right, Meryly, you were 16 in the year 2011 and this is your birthday banger. Banger, Merrilee. It's a 10-year-old banger. Are you happy with your birthday banger? Yeah, it's not too bad. Yeah, it's good. Oh, I know the same energy I was hoping for out of it,

but good option. Wait there, Merrilee. We'll see what the other ones same energy I was hoping for out of it, but good option. Wait there, Merrilee. We'll see what the other ones are. We'll go to Hayley. Hi, Hayley. Hi, how are you going? Good, mate. How are you going?

Not too bad, not too bad. Good stuff. What's your birthday? We'll work out your birthday banger for you. 18th of May, 1987. All right, Hayley. You were 16 in the year 2003 and this is your birthday banger.

Oh no. No, I'm here for this. Really? We haven't played this in ages. She's got such an unfortunate name, but she didn't know that at the time. You've got Delta as in Delta Goodrum and Born to Try. Yeah, look, definitely not one I'd get up and dance to. Right?

It's probably not the mood we're going for today given some of the restriction changes. I agree, 100%. And also her name again, as always. But she can't help that. But Hayley is right. You're not going to be at a party and go, guys, guys,

chuck me the ox. Oh, no way. I've got some fire to play for you guys. But we always say, Hayley, your birthday banger chooses you.

You can't choose your birthday banger. And you, my friend, are a Delta Goodrum person. Oh, okay. Loving it. Wait there. We'll see what the last one is.

Hey, Angel. Hi. How are you going today see what the last one is. Hey, Angel. Hi. How are you going today? Oh, not too bad. How are you guys? Yeah, going good, going good. Yeah, we're good. Scratchy phone line, but see if you can get your birthday out for us

and we'll work out your birthday banger. Perfect. My birthday is the 21st of April, 1999. I got 21st of April, 1999. So, Angel, you were 16 in the year 2015. April 1999. I got 21st of April 1999. Sir Angel, you were 16 in the year 2015 and this is your birthday banger. This is what we're going for.

It's a double Rihanna day and yeah, we're absolutely going for this. You get Kanye, Rihanna and Sir Paul McCartney for five seconds. What are you reading, Angel? I don't know. I'm not sure I'm actually. You love it?

It's good? I'm going to take that as a yes. Yeah, it sounds like your phone is in a washing machine, Angel, but we're going to assume that was good vibes. And, oh, did we get it back? Are you there, Angel? Yeah, who knows? It's my vote.

I vote for four or five seconds. You're going to vote for four or five seconds? Yeah, and you get the other vote today with Brie away. I'm actually going to go for We Found Love this time. Oh, okay. Pop song of the decade, I reckon. Yeah, wow. Okay, split vote.

That means, Ben, Delta Goodrum is up for grabs as well. You're feeling particularly antagonistic. I think it's Delta Goodrum. It's just not the vibe. It's not the mood we're going for. Ben, what's the winner of Birthday Banger today? I'm going to agree with Clint. It's going to be four or five seconds.

It's such a good song. There it is. Angel, if you can hear us, you've just won Birthday Banger. Congratulations. She's loving it. Here we go. Free and Clint. ZM.

Free and Clint. I don't know how close you are to retirement age listening to this. Retirement age technically is 65, but I don't plan on working that long. People are like, oh, you'll get bored. Won't you get bored? You stop working, you'll die. Not me. I'm ready to relax and not do that anymore.

However, it turns out it's quite expensive to retire, and according to a new study by Massey University, the lump sum required for you to retire comfortably as a couple, so this is if you're lucky enough to retire in a couple and you want to live in a major city, has gone up by $24,000. If you want to retire comfortably and live in a big city, as a couple, you need $809,000.

Cash, baby, cash, cash, cash. Oh, my God. Yeah. Yeah, they're in Italy. What? But, Anastasia, you're 24, 23. You've got ages. You've got ages to slave it up, cash. Oh, my God. Yeah. Yeah, that's a lot. But, Anastasia, you're 24, 23. You've got ages to save it up, mate. You've got KiwiSaver, don't you?

You'll be all right. Yeah, not much in the KiwiSaver. Not yet. But by the time you're 65, the idea is that it compounds. By the way, that is assuming that you have paid off your entire mortgage by that age as well. Yeah. And that you don't have to pay your mortgage. Because you'd need to sell your house to, oh.

Yeah. If you don't want to live in a major city, though, that's if you want to live in the big city like Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, Dunedin. Yeah, Dunedin, Tauranga. You want to live in the provinces? Yeah. That's easy, man. You only need $511,000.

Okay. Yes. That's a big drop. Half a million to live in Timaru. As a couple. That's assuming you're splitting the power bill. Oh,000. Okay. Yes. That's a big drop. Half a million to live in Timaru. As a couple. That's assuming you're splitting the power bill. Oh, okay. You're splitting the internet.

That's $511,000 each is what you need, I believe. Oh, my God. But look, we're ages away from this. And I have here a calculator that will tell you guys how much you need to save. Oh, good. How much you need to be saving right now, a week, if you want to retire. We'll start with you, Ben. Yeah. Am I telling you how much I'm

saving a week? No, you don't need to tell me. I'll just get some criteria off you. Are you assuming you will be in a relationship? You'll be a two-person retirement? Yep. Yep, okay. Would you like the frills or no frills retirement? Frills means you can do things like holidays, buy the nice milk, that kind of thing.

No, I'm not too bothered about that. You want no frills? No, I'm not bothered. No frills? Okay, and are you going to live in a metro or a provincial area? Provincial. Okay, so a two-person retirement from the age of 25 for a no frills provincial. Oh, mate, you're good to go.

Yeah. $17 a week and you'll be sweet. Doing it. Doing it. Yeah, Easy peasy, right? You're going to have a lovely no frills. You haven't asked your partner if it's going to be no frills. $17 a week from the age of 25.

You're good to go. Anastasia, let's do you. I'm going to assume you're going to do a one person retirement. Alright, go on. Well, isn't that your brand? You're forever single, right? That's the thing Ain't no man gonna tie this down

Yeah, I mean how many people are listening right now Thanks for telling them all that You know what, because I'm single I'm gonna go frills Single, frills, and do you want to be provincial Or a metropolitan area when you retire I'll go metro That's Christchurch, right?

Yeah, Christchurch is a metro. The goat. So one person. Yeah. Oh, can you stop saying that? One single, alone. Frills. You want the frills, right?

You want to buy Lewis Road? Yes. Okay, from the age of 25, if you want to have the retirement that you want, you need to be saving $184 a week. That's for retirement, not for a house, not for Rhythm and Vines, not for summer, just for your retirement, $184 a week. That's substantially higher than mine.

What happens now? Start saving. Or find a partner. Oh, Oh okay I'll just start saving Let's do a news fail right now everybody I love these It's just something about the news It's supposed to be so proper and so polished That when they do fall out of character or screw something up,

you go, I knew you were human, you loser. Shame. Shame, dick. You made a mistake like the rest of us. And we all saw it. And we all saw it. It was live on TV and now it's going to go on YouTube. Half joking.

But when it happens on Fox News, there's very little sympathy for the presenters because most of them are What is the word I'm looking for? A-hole Oh yeah yeah yeah It's just There's some bad stuff that gets broadcast

Spreaders of fake news A little bit You brought this to the table today Anastasia It's a news host in the States Who has got confused between another show the person's talking about right? Yes yeah So it's essentially like host in the States who has got confused between another show the person's talking about, right? Yes, yeah. So it's essentially like she's talking to their entertainment correspondent, like we would talk to Dean McCarthy, and he is talking about one of the most popular shows of the

year, which is obviously You Season 3. Right. If you've seen You Season 3, you'll know the storyline that he's talking about. Yeah. season three you'll know the storyline that he's talking about yeah the presenter's name is laura ingram and the show that she hosts is called the ingram angle that's the name of her show so with that in mind uh have a listen to this excellent news fail you know i was watching an episode of you where measles came up wait wait when did i mention measles i don't know it was on you what what was on me what are you talking about i never had

the measles was on you we never did a measles and vaccine episode of my is this a joke i don't even know what you're talking about it was on you raymond i've never had measles what are you talking about this is stupid it was an episode of a show laura what's it called you you it's called you i've never done a show on measles. I just completely give up. We gotta get out of here. It's a show called you on Netflix. There's a show called Luring on Netflix.

What are you talking about? I'm moving on to Adele. I can't explain this to you. What's he talking about? The pop singer. The video is so good because she starts to get physically angry at him. So angry. She's like, I did not talk about measles.

You're fake news. So I think if this had happened on any other channel that wasn't Fox News, I feel like any sane person would have just gone with it. Just roll with it. And just been like, awesome, that's great. Let's go to your next story. But she just was so persistent on proving him to be wrong.

Yeah. I love the internet. And I love America. No, yeah. For that reason. Right, okay, cool. Entertainment purposes. That's the latest news fail from Fox News for you, everybody.
