Until jealousy, betrayal and murder brought it all crashing down.

I was up early to watch the replay of the triathlon.
Yes, I watched the triathlon.
It was awesome.
I've been watching the freestyle BMX.
Oh, how sick is that?
Was on this morning.
So good.
What about the bit where they go up and then the camera pauses it and swings around them in 360 and then they do the rest of the trick?
Incredible, eh?
Yeah.
I watched a little bit of the eventing, the dressage this morning as well.
Oh, yes.
And my daughters went, horses are at Olympics.
Which is very cute because they think the horse is representing
its country, which it kind of is.
They also get drug tested. The horse?
Yeah. So why doesn't the horse get a medal?
Did you hear about that horse
at this Olympics that got done?
No. They drug tested it and
it was on ketamine.
Classic horse behaviour.
I know, so it was disqualified.
DNF.
Save that for the closing ceremony, horse.

Thanks to the tool shed at ZM.
Bree and Clint.
It's time to play Sibling Showdown.
Brother.
Bree and Clint.
Sibling Showdown.
The concept is simple.
We believe by asking a couple of questions,
we can correctly guess where you are in the sibling line-up.
Are you the eldest, the middle, or the youngest?
We're coming off a silver medal the last time we played.
Two from three.
We're looking to go one better today.
We're looking to go three from three.
Who's up first?
Alison's first.
Hi, Alison.
Hi, Alison.
Hi, guys.
Don't give us any details, but just confirming you have at least one sibling, correct?
Yes.
Okay. At least one sibling, correct? Yes. Okay.
At least one sibling.
Can I ask a pre-question before I ask my question, Alison?
Do you have kids?
Yes, I do.
You do?
Okay, I've got the perfect question for you then.
Alison, are any of your siblings godparents to your children?
Yes.
Okay, cool.
Thanks.
That helps me quite a lot.
Yeah, that's giving eldest.
Or middle.
Or middle.
In my mind, she's not the youngest.
For some reason, I just got this weird gut feeling
that she has one other sibling and it's a sister
and she's the oldest.
Okay.
But I don't know.
But anyway.
What's the question you can ask?
I need to ask my question.
Yeah.
Alison, do you have any tattoos?
No.
She's the eldest.
She's the eldest.
I agree.
Lock it in.
Alison, are you the eldest child?
No, I'm not.
Shut up.
Are you the middle child?
I am. I am the middle child? I am.
I am the middle.
Oh, we were so close.
We were so close.
Damn it, Alison.
I should have known, my fellow middle sister.
That's okay.
We can still get a silver medal.
We can still go home with silver.
That's it. Silver's good.
Silver's great.
We saw the marathon.
Yeah, totally.
The triathlon.
Triathlon, yeah.
It was good. Silver was great.
Regan's going to help us get our silver medal.
Hi, Regan. Hi, Regan.
Hi. Regan, I'm going to ask you
one question. Bree's going to ask you one question, then
we're going to correctly guess your birth order.
Okay. Alright, Regan, I'll
kick it off.
What is your mum's or your dad's
birth date?
16th of December
1970. 1970.
Ish.
Yeah.
Okay, okay.
How does that help you at all?
Because certain siblings would definitely know their parents' birthdays.
Oh, okay.
And other siblings wouldn't.
Okay, sure.
You know what I'm saying?
Okay, yeah, I didn't even think about that.
Regan,
did you attend
any of your parents' weddings?
Yes.
You did.
She's not the youngest.
No, she can't?
Well, I mean,
if they got remarried.
Yeah, I know,
but I think it's more likely
that she's older or middle.
Yeah, what's the vibe
you're getting?
Sure.
The safest thing
if she's been to their wedding is to say eldest.
But are you saying middle children know their parents' birthday?
Nah, could be.
I'd say it's more likely the eldest knows the birthday.
Then I think mine leads more to eldest.
Let's go eldest.
Regan, are you the eldest child?
No.
Don't say middle.
I am the middle child.
Number five of six.
You're kidding me.
Oh, my gosh.
Okay, Regan.
Thank you.
That's none from two with the exact same outcome both times.
The middle children stump us.
Nicole is here.
Nicole is going to help us win our bronze medal.
Hi, Nicole.
Come on, Nicole.
Hi, how are you doing?
I'm fine, hopefully.
Yeah, you're our consolation prize.
It's you or nothing, Nicole.
Oh, nice.
Let's get straight into it, Nicole.
Did any of your siblings, this is my question, did any of your siblings speak, give a speech
at your 21st birthday?
No.
She could be the eldest. That might be because I didn't at your 21st birthday? No. She could be the eldest.
That might be because I didn't have a 21st birthday.
Oh, you get another question.
You get a redo on that.
Okay, I think a question needs to relate to it, though.
Did any of your siblings get a 21st birthday?
Yes.
Okay.
Oh, okay.
Wait, what was the question?
She didn't get a 21st, but her siblings did.
Oh, interesting.
Nicole, what was the highest education that you got?
NCEA level one.
Okay.
Okay.
Woohoo.
Woohoo, yeah.
Congratulations, NCEA level one.
Nothing to be scoffed at, Nicole.
Yeah, go, Nicole.
That was more than my sibling. Woohoo. Woohoo, yeah. Congratulations, NCA level one. Nothing to be scoffed at. Yeah, go, Nicole.
That was more than my sibling.
Oh, she gave us a little bit extra there.
Gave us a little bit extra.
Go on, you can do it.
I'm going to stick to my guns.
She's the eldest child.
She's the eldest.
Nicole, are you the eldest child?
Please say you're the eldest child.
No, I can't.
Sorry, I'm a liar. Are you the middle child? Um, no, I can't. Sorry, I'm a liar.
Oh!
Are you the middle child?
Are you the...
No.
No?
Okay.
You're the
youngest.
I'm the
youngest, I
am.
God, we
have absolutely
poo-pooed the
bed.
We've pooed
our cardboard
Olympic bed.
Next week will
be better.
Next week will
be better.
We'll be back
on the horse.
It'll be way better next week. We're not even here, we're on holiday, so we can't lose next week. We've goted our cardboard Olympic bed. Next week will be better. We'll be back on the horse. It'll be way better next week.
We're not even here.
We're on holiday, so we can't lose next week.
We've got a regroup next week.
Hey, thanks, Nicole.
Thank you for being honest with us, Nicole.
It's the only way we'll learn.
I can tell, Nicole, that you did think for a split second.
You were like, maybe I should lie and just say that they're right.
Bless your heart. Bless your heart.
Bless your heart.
Bree and Clint from iHeartRadio.
This is The Latest.
Live from LA with Dean McCarthy.
Worst kept secret in Hollywood, but it's been confirmed today.
Dean, who's the big couple who have cemented their divorce?
The rumour on the street is, according to reports,
that Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez
have finally filed for
divorce. So, you know, they've been
on and off again. They rekindled their love affair
from 2002 in
2021. It was, you know,
they got this big wedding in Atlanta
near Georgia in this farmhouse mansion
thing. All the right ingredients,
right? They're gorgeous, everything. But now they
are definitely headed for split. So apparently
the divorce papers are all signed like a month ago
apparently. Weird fact, weird
fact, I'm in New York City and I was just
with Casey Affleck,
which is weird. This is literally breaking
as I'm like with him, but I was
told not to...
No personal questions.
Yeah.
Did that drop in the party?
No.
He was lovely, by the way.
Very, very lovely.
A bit rough to ask Casey Affleck about his brother's divorce.
But yeah.
People do it, though.
Yeah, they would.
Yeah.
Can you give me any goss on that?
How was Casey Affleck?
What were you talking to him about?
Hey.
Yeah, I'm here in New York City for the new Apple TV Plus movie called The Instigator.
It stars Matt Damon and Casey Affleck.
We'll have to run the interview
this week. It's so cool. Yeah. And basically
it is
a funny, it's like an action comedy.
Casey Affleck is really, really good
at it and he's really cool in person.
Funnily, actually, when you said that
personal question, the
host before me asked
Matt Damon about politics.
Can I just tell you,
talk about a buzzkill.
Imagine,
you're on the red carpet
with this amazing movie.
Yeah, read the room.
And she's like,
yeah, read the room.
So no,
I decided to not,
you know,
go there with Casey Affleck.
But great movie,
Apple TV Plus,
August 9th.
Also a bit rough
of Casey Affleck,
Ben Affleck's brother
to now steal Matt Damon
off Ben Affleck.
That's his friend.
He's already lost J-Lo.
He's lost Jennifer, what's her face?
Gardner, is that who he was married to?
Yeah, Jennifer Gardner.
Gardner, sorry, not Gardner.
I asked Matt one playful question because the movie,
they do all this heist and kind of thing.
I said to him, because you and Casey get along so well,
would he be the person you called if you were fouled up in jail?
Would he be your one phone call?
And he goes, no, that would be Ben.
Yeah.
Yeah, Ben's got better lawyers, I think.
Yeah.
He knows the lawyers.
He's had to use them before.
He's done more divorces and stuff.
Yeah.
Well, look at Dean hobnobbing with celebrities.
Man, you live a fun life.
That's our Hollywood correspondent, Dean McCarthy.
He's got the goss for us today from New York City.
Bree and Clint.
A family has been kicked out
of a cinema and trespassed
from ever returning to the movies
at that cinema in Pukekohe
because they broke the quote
rule of food. The
you cannot bring outside food into the
movies rule. Bad boys,
bad boys, what you gonna do?
What you gonna do when
they come for you?
Because it's 2024, the whole thing's on TikTok.
Of course.
It's been filmed.
It's gone on TikTok.
It got really heated.
There were things said by both sides, I think.
That people regret?
Which, well, more than that,
it meant that the police ended up attending.
Oh, must have gotten real out of hand.
Yeah, I think there were some bad things said. The cinema says that they bought in a lot of outside food.
A lot.
It doesn't say specifically what it was.
It says a lot.
Did they just lay down a picnic blanket at the front of the cinema?
Close.
I think it said they bought beverages, snacks, hot food, quote, you name it.
They had it. They were told to put the food, quote, you name it. They had it.
They were told to put the food away or leave with a refund.
They said you can put the food away and enjoy the movie
or you guys can leave.
That's pretty reasonable.
And we'll refund you the cost of your ticket,
but you can't have...
All of that.
You can't have a smorgasbord in the cinema.
Just up and down the stairwell.
Yeah, and it blew up.
It got out of control. I never knew
that it was a hard and fast rule
the whole no outside food thing. I thought
it was like implied or
suggested or like etiquette but I
didn't know it was the rules that you
couldn't bring the food in. I believe
and don't quote me on this but I do
believe every cinema
has their own rules.
Okay.
So it's not just one widespread rule.
Because growing up, I thought that it was like,
don't bring any hot food in.
But then you've got gold class seats now
where you can get a pizza delivered to your seat.
So that's hot.
Yeah.
So, and then it was like no fragrant food.
And then you hear about people
who are taking a butter chicken into the movies.
Yeah, a friend of mine used to do that i mean sounds awesome more chicken tikka masala would
be her her meal of choice so risky eating a butter chicken in the dark i it's super risky yeah i
remember i went to this cinema once and it was back when i was living near sydney and it was
this small cinema at a shopping center it was like middle of the day because I was doing breakfast radio
and so I'd gone in there to see a movie that we were interviewing
some of the people from.
By yourself.
The next day and I went to see it by myself.
Loser.
Leave me alone.
I'd just moved there and I had no friends.
It's quite hard to make friends as an adult.
Just kidding.
I'm going to the movies by myself next week.
It's quite hard.
Anyway, so I went to the
and I wished someone was with me
because no one believes me now. Oh my god.
Double loser. No one believes me
but I swear I was at this
cinema and the person
sitting a couple of seats down from me
pulls out an entire bucket of
Neapolitan ice cream and eats
the whole thing. Wow.
Like a two litre tub. The chocolate eats the whole thing. Wow. Like a two-litre tub?
The chocolate, the strawberry and the vanilla.
How could you tell that it was Neapolitan?
Because it was all the different colours on the top.
Were you close enough to see into their tub of ice cream?
Like I was sitting here and then they were like two seats down.
And it was the classic blue tub that the Neapolitan comes in.
You can't smuggle that in, eh?
You'd have to walk in with it out in the open.
No, well...
Unless you had a big coat on.
Yeah, I don't know how they got it in.
It looked quite melted though, if I'm honest.
Yeah, but I mean,
at least they didn't have to pay full price for a choc top.
They ate two litres of ice cream.
The cinema says that they have to have the no outside food rule in place
because there's no way
that their business would survive
on ticket sales alone.
It's the same as like cafes,
certain cafes having like a sign up
being like no outside food
to be brought into the cafe.
Yeah.
That one makes sense.
But it's the same thing.
To not take food to a restaurant.
But it's the same. Is it? Because food to a restaurant. But it's the same.
Is it?
Because I think of the movies as a movie business.
I don't think of them as a food business.
I understand.
But they serve food there.
Yeah.
I heard that petrol stations wouldn't survive without all the convenience store stuff.
That they wouldn't survive off selling petrol alone.
Look, I'm not going to lie.
One of the best life hacks is going to like a lolly place before the cinema,
like a pick and mix and just doing your own mix,
putting it in a bag and then you shove it down one of the pockets
on the inside of your jacket and you just eat your pick and mix
out of your jacket.
We've all done it.
Oh, there's nothing better.
Any mall where there's a supermarket in the complex,
that's what we've been doing.
Hell yeah.
Because the pick and mix at the movies is so expensive.
It is so expensive.
It is so expensive.
So I understand both sides of the situation, but there you go.
Now you know it could escalate to a full-blown police investigation next time you try and
take food into the movies.
I said I would never give out this life hack again on radio because I got in big trouble
for it last time.
But you know what me and my friends used to do?
All through our 20s when we didn't have much money, our life hack,
and I mean feel free to try it.
We got busted so now we can't do it anymore.
We would go to the cinema.
Popcorn was very expensive.
So we would go to the supermarket, buy the popcorn from the supermarket,
the one that's unpopped.
We would then go to the parents' room that is located at the cinema
where there is a microwave for heating up baby bottles.
We would pop our popcorn, which is, I mean,
it's not like it's, you know,
an uncommon smell in the cinema.
You're so right.
So we'd pop our popcorn and then slip into the cinema with our cheap-ass popcorn.
So you could save $4.
Yeah.
We thought we were like Tom Cruise from Mission Impossible.
Don't do that, by the way.
Wink.
Wink.
Wink.
Don't do that.
It saves you. Saves you a couple ofink. Wink. Don't do that. I mean, it saves you.
Saved you a couple of bucks. We thought we'd ask
this afternoon,
what are the rules that you're aware of,
but you break them anyway?
You know? You're living outside the law.
The rules don't apply to you.
Do you know the rules and you broke them
anyway? Are you parking in the mum's
with baby's car parks, but
your kid is like seven?
Or even worse, you're a dad, not even a mum with a baby.
What, so you don't even have the baby with you?
Do you wear normal shoes at the gym?
You know how you used to be wearing vans at the gym?
Yes.
Do you open your umbrellas inside?
My daughters do.
It shits me so much.
They walk around and they're like,
we're playing rainy day.
I'm like, you are bringing so much bad luck on this house.
But they don't care.
They don't care.
Then you just force them to throw a heap of salt over their shoulder.
They're like, Dad, stop it.
We had to kill the black cat because it kept walking across their path.
Or, I had thought of one.
Now I forgot it.
It'll come back to me.
It'll come back to you. It'll come back.
0800 dial ZM.
You're in a safe space.
We can even keep you anonymous if you're worried about the po-po catching on.
What are the rules that you're well aware of?
You know that rule exists, but you choose to break it anyway.
I remembered it.
Do you see the signs at the gym that says no towel, no workout,
and you never bring a towel.
Gross.
Yuck.
But also, you call us.
Bad boys, bad boys.
Bree and Clint.
Speaking of food, it's finally happened.
We've hit that tipping point where someone has been trespassed
from the movies.
The police have been called for bringing in outside food.
Yeah, look, there has been, you know, reports saying that they took in a lot of food.
A lot.
We are getting word now that it was an entire turducken.
They took a turducken in?
Yeah, it was.
I think.
The turkey which holds a chicken which holds a duck.
Fair enough then.
If they'd just taken the turd, it would have been fine,
but the full turducken.
Yeah.
Too much.
I think the people at the cinema were like,
is that what I think it is?
And they're like, yeah, it's an entire turducken.
What does it look like?
Guys, come on, be serious.
Someone texted and they said, I used to work at Hoyt's.
We were fine with people bringing in food unless it was hot because it stunk out the cinemas. Yeah, be serious. Someone texted in and they said, I used to work at Hoyt's. We were fine with people bringing in food unless it was hot
because it stunk out the cinemas.
Yeah, fair enough.
So you're right, the rules are different everywhere you go.
Yeah.
But we want to know, what are the rules that you're fine with breaking?
You know those rules exist, but to you, they don't apply.
Ellie has called through.
Hi, Ellie.
Hi, Ellie.
Hello.
Have you been a bad girl?
Yeah, and it just stresses me out a little bit.
I'm actually a rule breaker.
You're not a rule breaker, but you break this one.
What is it?
Going through the express checkout with more than 12 items.
Oh, bad boys, bad boys.
Do you mean the self-service checkouts,
the one where you scan your own things?
Yeah. Are you the person who takes their trolley through the self-service checkouts, the one where you scan your own things? Yeah. Are you the person who takes their trolley through the
self-service checkouts? No,
not the entire weekly shop, but
if it's just, you know.
Ellie,
let me ease your mind. I feel like
you're not alone, because I do it as well.
Yeah. It's fine.
Thank you. Yeah, you're fine.
So long as you're swift. And your secret's safe with us, Ellie, so don't worry about it. Thank you. Yeah, you're fine. So long as you're swift.
And your secret's safe with us, Ellie, so don't worry about it.
Thank you very much.
Cassie's called up.
Hi, Cassie.
Hi, Cassie.
Hello.
You're living outside the law when it comes to drugs, Cassie.
Yeah, I take three Panadol and three Ibuprofen.
Three Panadol and three Ibuprofen.
Oh, you regular old badass, Cassie.
We've got Slim Shady on the line.
Oh, you know it.
Holy shit, I love that one.
Everyone is terrified to take three Panadol
and three ibuprofen.
Has anything bad ever happened from doing it?
Never.
I could just picture Cassie.
She reads the instructions.
She's like, two.
Well, guess what?
I'm going to take three. Some people are built different, eh, Cassie? Absolutely. Oh, Cassie, I reads instruction. She's like, two. Well, guess what? I'm going to take three.
Some people are built different, eh, Cassie?
Absolutely.
Oh, Cassie, I don't want to run into you in a dark alley, that's for sure.
You could hit her.
She wouldn't feel it.
Yeah, I know.
Because she's hopped up on Panadol and ibuprofen.
She sounds terrified.
She's taken 150% of the recommended dosage.
She sounds like a badass criminal.
Thanks, Cassie.
Thanks, Cassie. We're asking
what are the rules you know about but you choose
to ignore them anyway? Someone texted in and said
seven kgs of carry-on.
I think not.
At least 10 kgs
every time.
Yes. You preach it.
They very rarely weigh them, you're right.
Someone else said I don't wear the Wii remote strap.
Holy hell.
I think the Wii remote strap is there for your furniture's sake,
like for your TV screen's sake.
That is so bloody gangster.
I can't believe you've texted that through.
Val's here.
Hi, Val.
Hi, Val.
Hiya.
Tell us, Val Val are you a regular
badass?
Yes I'm a bad
kitty. I run the
red filter light at
the end of my road when I'm turning left
when I know that there's nothing coming from
the right hand side. No cars
running. I know. Wait Val did you
say you run the red
light? Yeah. On a regular basis. She's an actual badass. On a Val, did you say you run the red light?
Yeah.
On a regular basis.
She's an actual badass.
On a regular basis.
Only when you're turning left and you can see there's no other cars coming.
Correct.
Hmm.
I think that's just like flat out breaking the rules.
Nah, I understand.
I understand.
Because if you're sitting in an intersection and there's clearly no other cars around and just because the lights are red, I do feel a bit stupid waiting, you know?
Yeah, me too.
I feel stupid.
I'm like, why am I listening?
Exactly.
There's nobody here.
Guys, Clint, Val, calm down.
I'm not the police.
You don't have to explain yourself to me.
I'm not going to tell.
I'm not going to tell on you.
Where do we draw the line though, Val?
We've got this text from someone that says,
the rules I choose to break are those road signs that say 100 kilometres an hour.
Ha-ha, ha-ha, ha-ha-ha.
That's worse.
That's worse.
Is it worse?
I think it's on par, Val.
Well, look, we were just offering a place to share.
We weren't endorsing.
Val, good luck and God just offering a place to share. We weren't endorsing Val.
Good luck and Godspeed.
Don't tell anyone.
No, we won't.
Your secret's safe with us.
Your secret's 100% safe with us.
There you go.
People are living outside the law all over the place.
So hardcore, the people that listen to this show.
I know.
Can't believe that we remote one.
No strap?
Are you crazy?
Someone said, you can destroy your liver with an overdose of paracetamol.
Yeah, yeah, but she's talking about taking one extra paracetamol.
Yeah, taking three at a time rather than two.
I think she'll be okay.
Someone texted and they said, I take four Panadol.
All right, slow down.
Slow down, guys.
Slow down.
Be careful.
Bree and Clint.
Once upon a time, there was a girl. She was smart, debatable, guys. Slow down. Be careful. Brie and Clint. Once upon a time, there was a girl.
She was smart, debatable, talented, eh, athletic.
Not really.
But picking a movie title based on just the plot line,
that she can do.
Brie and Clint's What's the Plot?
A movie guessing game where today if you can beat Brie,
there's $100 cash in the pot and it could be all yours.
Mike, hi.
Hi, Mike.
Hello, good afternoon.
Brie really, really, really wants to get her mojo back and get some wins on the board.
You're looking to shut her down after just one win, Mike.
Yeah, I was hoping that could we just
maybe pay for $1,000 now?
Yeah, right.
Always good to float the idea, Mike.
We'd love to. Bree would love to. I would love to.
But we have to build it up slowly.
Jackpot by jackpot by jackpot. So you'll
have a shot at $100 today, Mike, okay?
Okay.
This is how it works. I read out movie plotlines.
You either buzz in with your name
As soon as you think you know what the movie is
Either of you rather
And have a guess
First person to give me two correct movie plots
Will win the game
Mike
Sweet
Good luck Mike
Our theme today
To celebrate the Paris 2024 Olympic Games
Is movies set in Paris.
Okay.
Best of luck, everybody.
Here comes your first film.
A poor bohemian poet in 1890s Paris
falls for a beautiful...
Mike. Oh, Mike.
Oh, Mike.
Oh, is that her?
Her is incorrect.
I have no idea.
He falls for a nightclub star. However, she has already been promised by the manager of the club
to a rich duke in return for funding his next production.
As the young lovers meet in secret,
her wedding day draws closer,
but she hides a fatal secret.
Brie.
Romeo and Juliet.
Romeo and Juliet is incorrect.
Free guess, Mike,
and then we're going to give this one up.
Harry Potter.
Harry Potter is incorrect.
Good guess, Mike.
Moulin Rouge is the film we were looking for.
Yes, it is.
What were we doing, Mike?
Oh.
That's all right.
I don't know.
We both were nowhere on that one.
It's for no one.
We'll go to our second film set in Paris.
A former government operative is trying to reconnect with his daughter, who has just
set off with her friends on a trip to Paris.
But his worst fears become real when she is abducted.
Brie.
Brie.
Taken.
Brie is correct.
That is taken.
You know what?
I thought it was either when you started saying it,
but I was just like,
I'm going to hold on for a couple of seconds longer,
and now I'm kicking myself because I absolutely had that one.
And now you're on the ropes, Mike.
Now it's do or die.
That's all right, Mike. You can come do or die. That's alright, mine.
You can come back. Just back yourself.
Movie number three.
Set in Paris.
Brie has the 1-0 advantage.
Our hero
dreams of becoming a great chef
despite being the wrong person
for the job. He moves to Paris
to follow his dream, but only
with the help of a useless garbage boy
can he put his...
Brie!
Ratatouille!
Ratatouille is correct.
Wasn't to be, Mike.
But we have a 50 KFC
chicken dollar
consolation prize for you.
And really,
you wanted the $1,000 prize
so you need to call us back
in 18 weeks' time, okay?
Awesome. It's in my diary. Mike,
I will see you back here in 18 weeks,
mate.
Sweet. Thanks, guys. Thanks, Mike. See ya.
Bree moves through to $150
in the pot. God, it's so
much more nerve-wracking when you put heaps of
pressure on yourself. When you care. Yeah.
Yeah. Like, I've
really started to care how I used to.
Yeah, I know.
That's how it should be.
That's how it should be.
The passion.
Yeah.
That's what's the plot.
Bree and Clint.
I saw this post from an American who is permanently living here in New Zealand now.
They posted on Reddit asking other Americans who live in New Zealand about culture shock.
You know that thing
where you move to a new country
and you're like,
this is weird.
We don't do that.
Yeah, absolutely.
They said,
what was the biggest adjustment
you had to go, undergo?
Was there anything
that you didn't expect
moving to New Zealand?
Which I always find interesting
hearing outsiders' perspective
on our culture.
Yeah, what do they say?
Yeah.
The answers were quite interesting.
We don't really think about this stuff when we live here.
Well, especially don't think about it if you've never lived in another country.
Yeah, absolutely right.
You know?
Absolutely right.
Because it's just that is the only way you know.
But most of them, when they say them, I'm like, yeah, that's fair enough.
Yeah, I reckon you're right there.
Okay.
One person said the biggest difference here is that there's less variety
for everything and less immediacy.
You don't have as many choices when it comes to products and brands.
You can change.
There'll be a substitute, but you have to be willing to change.
Like things like Pop-Tarts and...
You know, it's interesting because, I mean, i've lived in america i've lived here and
i've lived obviously in australia um the biggest difference i notice from like australia to here
is that in australia especially for fruit and veg you can get anything pretty much all year round. Whereas like in New Zealand, like I've had to get used to the fact
that there's an asparagus season and there's only a certain amount
of months that you can buy asparagus.
Arguably that's the way it should be though.
I agree.
You should eat seasonally.
I agree.
I 100% think that's how it should be.
But when you've grown up with one thing and then you come and you're like, wait a second, I can't get this any time I agree. I 100% think that's how it should be. But when you've grown up with one thing and then you come
and you're like, wait a second, I can't get this anytime I want.
Asparagus is such a good example.
You're right.
One person said that here in New Zealand people are more likely
to do DIY rather than hiring professionals to do jobs
around their house.
Yeah, because it's fun.
Kiwis are like, oh, I was going to give that a go.
It'll be fun.
Like when I tiled my kitchen backsplash recently.
Exactly right.
Can you imagine an American telling an American that
and them being like, are you an idiot?
And I've seen your tiled backsplash.
It looks fine.
It looks like I did it drunk.
Don't get up too close to it.
And part of it, I did.
One person said Kiwis are a lot less enthusiastic about everything,
whether it's good things or bad things.
They said Kiwis can be a lot more reserved
and in general speak more quietly.
If you're talking loudly in an American accent,
expect a bit of side eye.
Americans do stand out when they have conversations in public in New Zealand,
don't they?
Americans are really loud and vibrant.
What about the fact that they say New Zealanders are less enthusiastic?
Is that fair?
It's true.
I think it's fair.
More laid back.
Like, just more reserved, I think, is a good way to put it.
Especially, like, coming from an American.
Like, Kiwis are super reserved.
I took an American friend of mine to a super rugby game.
Yeah.
And it was a Chiefs game.
To be honest, they were playing the four,
so it wasn't the best game.
But we went.
He was really excited.
It was his first rugby experience.
And about 60 minutes in, he went,
so do people like this?
Like, are they into it?
You should have taken him to a Warriors game.
Should have taken him to a Warriors game.
People love it.
People get into it.
That's where you've got to go.
One American said,
expect to be left off your favourite artist's world tour.
Oh, yeah.
Which is so true.
It is true.
It's the Taylor Swift effect.
And now we all just kind of accept it.
Yeah.
But yeah.
You know?
Yeah, we do, yeah.
But we're just kind of like, oh, yeah, they're not coming here.
Yeah.
Taylor Swift said, New Zealand is too hard to get to.
And now every artist is saying Taylor Swift is too hard to get to,
except for people who love the Foo Fighters.
They said if you love the Foo Fighters, you'll be fine
because they always come.
They always.
The Foo Fighters are always here.
And Jimmy Barnes will always be back.
And Jimmy Barnes will always come back.
There's a heap of wineries to play here.
One American commented on, and you've talked about this,
the different names for things.
They said, we say popsicles, you say, oh, we say,
we say ice blocks, Americans say popsicles.
We say motorway, they say highway.
Yep.
They say trunk, we say boot.
They say hitch, we say tow bar.
Hitch.
Hitch.
Hitch.
It's not a hitch.
Like the Will Smith movie
We say rubbish
They say trash
And fall and autumn
We say
Yeah
Yeah
There's a heap of differences
One person said
They found it weird
How nice police officers
Are in New Zealand
They are pretty nice
Compared to America
Yeah
Well it wouldn't be hard
Yeah
And someone from Texas
Said that they really
Miss the sun
And that it rains a hell of a lot more here
Than you would ever expect
Yeah, pretty spot on
Why do you think it's so beautiful and green here?
Well that's the trade off, isn't it?
You know?
That's the trade off
It's got to come from somewhere
Yeah
The rain
You've got mouldy houses
But it's beautiful
God, if I have to buy another pair of bloody Birkenstocks
because they just keep going mouldy.
What is it about Birkenstocks that attracts mould?
What is it?
Is it when the sole gets wet and so it never really truly dries?
What is it?
I was really relieved when I found out that it was mould though
because I thought my Birkenstocks were breeding foot fungus.
I was like, oh, yuck, don't let anyone see my Birkenstocks. It foot fungus. I was like, oh, yuck.
Don't let anyone see my Birkenstocks.
It's mould.
It's mould.
Why would your mind go there instead of the logical thing?
Because I've never had mouldy shoes before.
It's so confronting, eh?
Yeah.
Anyway, if you're here, no mai, haere mai.
Welcome to New Zealand.
Yeah, it's weird.
It's also really expensive and far away from things.
Yeah, and that's not even the half of it.
We're asking, when was the wedding invite not returned?
When was it not reciprocated?
You had them as part of your wedding, maybe a big part of your wedding,
but they didn't have you there at all.
Someone said, I had the opposite.
I invited a friend to my wedding, and then a few months later,
he asked me to be his best man.
We were friends, but I didn't think we were that close.
It was a little awkward.
I've heard of those ones.
And you're like, oh.
Oh, so I'm your best friend, right?
Oh, yeah.
You're not my best friend.
It's the friendship version of a relationship where you go, I love you.
And they go, I really like hanging out with you.
Thank you. Thanks, I love you, and they go, I really like hanging out with you. Thank you.
Thanks.
I love you.
Aw.
Thanks.
Aw, thanks.
I love me too.
This person wants to be anonymous.
Hi, anonymous.
Hi, anonymous.
Hi, how's it going?
Good, thanks.
Tell us, did you have someone at your wedding
and then they didn't invite you?
Well, it's a little bit different from that, actually.
It was more my partner and I got invited to a wedding
and found out the awkward way that we weren't invited to the reception.
Oh.
Oh, what?
Okay.
Yeah.
So you went to the ceremony bit where they tied the knot.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So we went to the ceremony and where they tied the knot. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So we went to the ceremony, and then we found out the hard way through people at the reception,
sorry, at the wedding, when they started discussing what steak they're going to have or, you know,
that kind of stuff.
And then my partner and I are looking at each other like, wait, there wasn't an option to
select food.
Anonymous, you got invited to the boring bit.
Oh, not going to lie, it was a bit of a dog waiting as well.
You know what I mean?
You sit through the ceremony of all that stuff
because you get the free drinks and the food and the dancing
and the fun afterwards.
Is it a bit arrogant to think that people want to come
and watch this thing that's so important to you, but not come to the party.
But it seems about putting yourself on a pedestal.
Yeah, but we didn't even get one of those things saying sorry.
No, no, they didn't give you a warning.
No, yeah.
Otherwise we were genuinely going to rock up with everyone
to the reception.
We were about to leave and make sure.
Oh, that would have been even more awkward
and there wasn't a seat for you.
Oh, yeah. I would have went anyway. Stuff
them. I would have been like...
I would love to, but... That would have been such a weird
drive home for you and your partner on
all your wedding clothes, ready to party, and
then going through the KFC drive-thru instead.
Oh, well, we actually went
carless, but you know. Yeah, fair enough.
No, it was just
like... And then they didn't even like talk to us about it or anything.
They just acted like we just didn't exist after the wedding.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's so strange.
I hope they didn't add to the wishing well or like a wedding gift or something.
You'd feel even worse if you'd already put your wishing well thing in.
I'd go back to the wishing well and take it out.
Let's talk to Anonymous number two.
Hi, Anonymous. Hi, Anonymous.
Hi, Anonymous.
Hi.
Tell us, did you invite someone or have someone in your bridal party
and then they didn't invite you to their wedding?
Absolutely.
So I had this fantastic bridesmaid.
She was brilliant.
We got on like a house on fire.
We had a great friendship.
Yeah.
Thought we were going to be besties forever.
Great.
And she was a brilliant bridesmaid,
and then she found the guy.
Okay.
And, yeah, she had a very expensive hen's night,
and she was very secretive about the wedding,
but I could tell that I wasn't invited.
We all paid for it.
It was hugely expensive,
and I still got her a gift,
a really expensive bottle of wine.
And then I texted her and said, oh, you know, hey, did you get my gift?
Oh, yeah, I've just been so busy.
I'm sorry.
Ha, ha, ha.
It's all about me.
And, yeah, yeah.
So you did all this.
You did all this.
You helped plan her hen's do, attended her hen's do, gave her a gift, all with the knowledge that you weren't invited to the wedding.
Yes, yes.
Oh, Anonymous, why'd you put up with that? Yeah.
Well, I mean, I valued the friendship,
and she'd been a big part of my life, you know,
back when I got married and could sort of tell it was teetering out.
I know what's happened, Anonymous.
I know what's happened.
I reckon, I reckon that her new bae, this new guy that she's met, the one,
I reckon he might have had a crush on you and she got jealous
and then she's had to push you away.
Oh, I like it.
That's what I reckon.
Are you a bit too hot to handle, Anonymous?
I don't know about that.
Are you a potential home wrecker? You sound like a to handle, Anonymous? I don't know about that. Are you a potential home wrecker?
You sound like a good time, Anonymous.
I don't know about that.
I think you're selling yourself short.
I think she's always jealous of me, so there you go.
Yeah, I'm telling you, Anonymous, and you're better off without.
My maid of honour didn't invite me to her wedding.
She stopped making an effort with our friendship
and then sent me an uninvite explaining why I wasn't coming to the wedding.
To make it worse,
my sister-in-law,
who she met through me,
was her bridesmaid.
That's so weird
to send someone an uninvite to the wedding
when you were that tight with them.
They were your maid of honour,
your main person at the wedding.
I want to know there was the reason why.
What was the reason?
What was the reason that was on the uninvite that you weren't invited anymore?
Some friends of mine got married in Thailand.
Our whole core group of uni friends plus their partners were all invited except for me, the only single one.
Oh, no.
The couple who got married are a gay couple.
I'm also a gay man. I would have, it would have been nice to see them be married
as marriage is a very rare thing in our community.
Oh, that's gutting.
That would feel so personal, wouldn't it?
That sucks.
And if it was the reason that you were the only single one,
then that's such BS.
Then they're not good friends.
They're not your real friends.
If they were like, oh, well, he's single.
Let's not invite him.
Let's just invite all the couples.
Yeah, so it's even.
You know, so it's even.
We've got even numbers.
We had people try to RSVP just to the reception of our wedding.
Um, no.
I'd be keen to do that.
That's the opposite.
That's the opposite of inviting people just to the ceremony.
People want to just come to the reception.
Has that person texted back?
Oh, who was that person we were talking about before?
You said why did they, what was the reason for the uninvite?
Yeah, and they have texted back and they said
just that they only wanted their closest friends there.
Oh, so it was a cop-out.
They were your bridesmaid.
They were your maid of honour.
So it was a cop-out, maid-up excuse.
They were your maid of honour and they only want their closest-out, maid-up excuse. They were your maid of honour,
and they only want their closest friends there.
You think you know some people, right?
Yeah.
You think you know some people.
Keep that in mind if you're putting your wedding invite list together.
Think about that.
Yeah.
Maybe that's the criteria.
Would this person invite me to their wedding?
That's a great way to look at it.
Isn't that a good way of looking at it?
When you're putting yours together, please don't
think about the fact that I didn't invite you to my wedding,
okay? Just don't remember that. Yeah.
Don't think about it. I think about
that every day.
I mean, I'd known you for about a month.
We'd met once. We'd met once, but still
I expected one. Yeah, right.
Yeah.
Let's do some birthday bangers.
This is where you tell us your birthday.
We tell you, after a little bit of calculations here in the studio,
what the number one song was on your 16th birthday.
Annika's going to go first.
Hi, Annika.
Hi, Annika.
Hello.
What have you been up to today?
Working.
I feel your energy.
I see it. I feel you energy. I see it.
I feel you.
We're all exhausted, but let's see if we can put a pep in your step.
What is your date of birth?
30th of the 1st, 93.
Right.
That means you were 16 in 2009.
And on your 16th birthday, this was at the top.
Annika, there's something weird going on where every Soft Rock Thursday recently, we've been getting a Soft Rock Thursday anthem.
You've got one.
It's The Fray and You Found Me.
Do you like it?
Yeah, I do.
Me too.
Annika, if you were about to say you didn't like The Fray, I'm like, well, there's no pleasing Annika. She's, you know? Yeah, I do. Me too. Annika, if you were about to say you didn't like the fray,
I'm like, well, there's no pleasing Annika.
She's, you know?
Yeah, yeah.
There's no helping some people.
There's no helping her.
But you like the fray.
That's good.
We love it too.
Wait there.
We're going to do Taylor's birthday banger.
And it's Taylor's birthday today.
Hi, Taylor.
Hi, Taylor.
Not me.
Hi.
Hi.
Not me.
It's my partner's birthday.
Oh, cool. So you're going to do your partner's birthday banger, not me. It's my partner's birthday. Oh, cool.
So you're going to do your partner's birthday banger on their birthday.
That's nice of you.
I am.
His birthday is 1st of the 8th, 1974.
And what is their name?
Corey.
Corey.
Okay.
Okay, Corey, you were 16 in 1990.
And on your 16th birthday on this very day, this was at the top.
John Bon Jovi.
Taylor, do you reckon Corey would like it?
Yeah, who doesn't like to bellow out Bon Jovi?
I mean, I love it.
I know someone in this room who doesn't.
Oh, don't let my...
No, you own it.
You own your hatred to Jon Bon Jovi.
I can't stand Bon Jovi in Guns N' Roses.
But that's just me.
It's not Taylor.
It's not Corey.
It's not Brie.
I like it.
I mean, I do have 50% of the vote, but let's not talk about it. Let's go to Belinda
on 0800 DALZM.
Hi, Belinda. Hi, Belinda.
Hi, how are you? Good, thank you.
What have you been doing today?
Well, I work for a charity
and we had a
shared midwinter Christmas lunch
today, so everyone ended up
on a sugar high. Oh, how good.
It was a great day. Lovely. That sounds awesome. Okay Oh, good. It was a great day.
Lovely.
That sounds awesome.
Okay, well, you've had a great day.
Let's see if we can top it off.
What is your birthday?
29th of March, 1962.
All right, Belinda, that means you were 16 in 1978.
Great year.
Will it have a great birthday banger?
Yes, it does.
A disco classic.
I mean, Belinda, please tell me you like Stayin' Alive by the Bee Gees.
I love everything by the Bee Gees.
I mean, who doesn't? In 1978, Belinda, did you have platform shoes and flares?
Well, of course I did.
You know, I had everything.
You had everything.
And that was the year Saturday Night Fever came out.
Yes, it was.
That makes sense.
Had a crush on John Travolta.
Yeah.
Belinda, main question I've got for you.
This will tell me everything about you.
Out of the Bee Gees, Barry, Robin
and Morris,
who would you most
likely kiss on the mouth?
Morris.
Oh, interesting choice.
The one who was married to
Lulu. Because before he lost his hair,
he was quite hot. He was.
Yes. Because he was a raving
alcoholic. So he would have been a laugh.
Yeah, but who wasn't?
Yeah, yeah.
Okay, Belinda,
and your Bee Gees back catalogue knowledge,
it's very impressive.
We've got to vote on this thing.
You're going to hate me,
but I've got to stay true and vote for the fray.
Yeah, I'm tossing up between the fray and Bee Gees.
Bon Jovi's out.
Oh, that's a hard decision for me.
Go with your gut.
Go with your heart.
The fray.
Are you sure?
The fray.
You found me.
Annika's won.
Annika, you are the winner of Birthday Banger today.
Congratulations.
Yay, cool.
Thank you. Absolute bop. We're going to put it on for you right now, Annika, you are the winner of Birthday Banger today. Congratulations. Thank you. Absolute
bop. We're going to put it on for you right now, Annika.
Brian Clint from 2009.
It's The Fray on ZM.
ZM, Brian Clint.
That's the winner of
Birthday Banger today. It's The Fray.
It isn't ZM. It's Soft Rock FM.
That's right.
It's a Soft Rock Thursday here on the
Brian Clint Show. Where we change
our voices to talk
like a soft rock
announcer would. That's
from 2009 for
Annika. The year of The Fray, I think.
I mean The Fray.
It was just an era of music that took us on a journey.
A journey.
Is this your soft rock voice?
Of soul searching.
Is it?
Yeah.
Where's yours?
Well, I'm not 100% sure that I've got one, Brie,
but if I did, I think I'd get a little bit closer to the microphone
and it would sound a lot
like this.
It's good when you can, you know, hear the saliva moving around their mouths.
I just went on the Phrase Instagram account.
What are they doing?
They've reformed.
Have they?
And they've got a new album coming out in September.
Guys, I've got an idea.
Yeah.
Should the Bring Clint show bring the Fray to New Zealand?
Is that our band?
That's our band, I think.
Is that?
The Fray.
We get the script on board and we go to party.
Yeah, we get Snow Patrol involved.
Snow Patrol?
Finish it off with a bit of Lifehouse.
They've just been.
We get Matchbox 20 involved.
Bring them back.
See what Sugar Ray's up to.
Get the Goo Goo Dolls back here.
Oh.
What's Hootie and the Blowfish up to?
Oh, stop it.
Would you settle for just Hootie if the Blowfish can't make it?
Nah, I've got to have the Blowfish, hey. Oh, look, yeah, no, look. You've got to have the Blowfish. No, I'll take Hoot settle for just Hootie if the Blowfish can't make it? Nah, I've got to have the Blowfish, eh?
Yeah, no, look.
You've got to have the Blowfish.
No, I'll take Hootie.
Take Hootie?
Yeah, and I'll take the Blowfish.
Either or.
You're going to have a hoon on Hootie?
Yeah.
Bree and Clint.
Guys, some very, very sad news today.
And this is being genuine.
This is actually really sad. A guy named Roberto Linguonotto,
who was credited with creating the beloved Italian dessert,
the tiramisu,
has passed away at the age of 81.
Oh, that's not funny at all.
It's sad.
Yeah.
It's quite sad.
Wait. Maybe bring down the all. It's sad. Yeah. It's quite sad. Wait.
Maybe bring down the music.
Wait, wait.
What do you mean he invented the tiramisu?
So this is where it gets interesting, right?
How does a person invent the tiramisu?
This is where it gets interesting because I was like, okay,
so this is the guy that's been credited with creating the tiramisu,
who's passed away at 81, do the math, follow it, cross the T, dot the I.
That means the tiramisu would have had to have been created
in the last 80 years.
Less.
There's no way he was creating it as a child.
Like 60 years then.
It had to be created in the last 60 years.
And I second-guessed everything I've ever known.
The tiramisu is how old?
So I had to do some research.
So Roberto apparently created the dessert,
the tiramisu,
while working as a pastry chef at a restaurant in Treviso,
which is where my family's from,
developing the recipe and creating it with his wife.
So they reckon they created the tiramisu, and get this, 1972.
The tiramisu's only been around since the 70s?
The tiramisu is a 70s dessert? The tiramisu's only been around since the 70s? The tiramisu is a 70s dessert?
The tiramisu's only 50-something years old?
I thought this was a dessert that has come from the old country.
I thought it was as old as pasta.
Yeah, like hundreds and hundreds of years ago.
Turns out Roberto has just created it in 1972.
Wait.
We spend a large part of lockdown recreating your nonna's traditional secret tiramisu recipe,
which you said she bought over from the old country.
Yeah.
But technically, my nonna migrated from Italy in the 50s.
So that means she wouldn't have even known how to make tiramisu.
She's never had Italian tiramisu.
She's just an Italian who made some tiramisu.
My whole life is a lie.
It got me thinking about other foods that we think might be super old but aren't that old.
Do you want to go through a bit of a list?
Yeah, sure.
So first on the list, carbonara.
Carbonara, which is, I mean, super popular dish.
Yeah.
You've got the bacon, you've got the cream.
Chicken.
Chicken sometimes.
That was only created in 1944.
Right, okay.
So like older than tiramisu.
Yeah.
But still.
The Hawaiian pizza. Yeah, okay. So like older than tiramisu. Yeah. But still. The Hawaiian pizza.
Oh yeah, okay. Like when
would you have thought the Hawaiian was created?
I don't imagine the Hawaiian pizza comes from
what's the
Italian region that's famous for pizza?
Is it pizza? No.
Napoli. Yeah, I don't think it comes
from Naples, Hawaiian pizza. No. No, it doesn, nothing comes from Naples, Hawaii and pizza.
No.
No.
No, it doesn't.
It doesn't come from America either.
It's actually a Canadian invention and it was created in 1962.
Okay, traditional Canadian pizza.
Nachos.
Oh, yeah.
Nachos.
As in beef on chips.
Yeah.
Yeah. It was created in chips. Yeah. Yeah. Was created in 1940.
Okay.
Yeah.
But this one blew my mind probably on the same level as tiramisu.
Yeah.
So tiramisu was created according to this in 1972.
When do you reckon chicken tikka masala was created?
This is a 70s dish as well?
It's got 70s vibes. 1970.
Yeah.
There you go. And apparently
some guy invented it
in Glasgow. Oh, it's not
even a traditional... Right, okay.
I think it is. I think the guy
was Indian
but he was living
in Glasgow and created it there.
Is butter chicken a traditional Indian dish?
I don't reckon.
Somehow I don't think so.
I don't think so.
I think that's like, you know, a westernised Indian dish.
Oh, well, I guess we've got to have tiramisu for dinner tonight.
Yeah, we've got to.
As a tribute.
Yeah.
Where can you get a good tiramisu?
Like, instantly.
You know how you know if a place does a good tiramisu? Yeah. Where can you get a good tiramisu? Like, instantly. You know how you know if a place does a good tiramisu?
Yeah.
If you go in there and none of them speak a word of English.
They all speak in a broken Italian.
Bree and Clint.
ZM, Bree and Clint, that's James Bay.
What's the cool thing to say?
Oh, I didn't have new James Bay music on my bingo card for 2024.
That's what you say, eh? No, I didn't expect new James Bay music on my bingo card for 2024. That's what you say, eh?
No, I didn't expect James Bay to be back in the mix.
I quite like James Bay.
Well, I used to quite like James Bay.
I liked him because he wore an Akubra, and I thought that was cool.
Was it an actual Akubra?
Yep.
His hat?
Yep.
His big festival hat.
Was it an Akubra?
Yes, an Akubra, yeah.
James Bay, you know James Bay.
Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes.
Hold back the river, sunrise. Claudia's looking at at me like I've got the wrong guy
I've got James Bay
Don't I
I was just laughing
At something that Ella said
About the Akubra
She said
Isn't that a snake
No that is James Bay
Yeah
You're thinking of an anaconda
Fun fact
James Bay
Son of Michael Bay.
No, he's not.
No, I'm just kidding.
Fun fact, James Bay lives in Auckland's Mission Bay.
Does he?
No.
No.
No.
Fun fact, James Bay invented the saying, Cher Bay.
Cher Bay. Cher Bay?
No, he didn't.
Gotta talk about all the things he keeps
Oh no, we ran out of James Bay hits with the last one.
Oh, that means it's time to go.
That means it's time to get the hell out of here.
