The ZM Podcast Network.
Ready?
And welcome to the Brian Clint Podcast.
That was very official.
It's very royal.
Regal.
The podcast, you have to speak in an English accent.
Oh, okay.
Not really.
We get real crass on the podcast intro.
And you're probably wondering, who the hell is that voice?
It's not Clint.
You've heard the voice before.
It's Matty McLean.
Hello.
He's back.
First, we have to apologise for there being no podcast
for the last couple of days.
You've been busy people.
We've been busy.
Yeah, that's true.
And then Clint also has to apologise for still not being back.
And then Matty has to take all the credit for being here.
I'm such a hero.
You are a hero.
You're welcome.
Yeah.
I think I've single-handedly saved this show.
You have.
And I will go on the record and say that.
And you're forever indebted to me.
Absolutely.
You're a New Zealand treasure.
Although I did almost screw it up today.
Because you gave me free licence.
You said you're allowed to swear.
Well, we said within reason and then you called someone's mother-in-law
a ho-ho-ho bitch.
It's so true.
Yeah.
So, I mean, you know, I feel like we gave you an inch
and you took about 10 miles.
Yeah, which is what I do all the time.
It's a learning lesson. It's a good learning curve, yeah. They gave you an inch and you took about 10 miles. Yeah, which is what I do all the time.
It's a learning lesson.
It's a good learning curve, yeah.
It's because I'm so confined on TV.
No, that's why.
We want you to be free here.
Fast and loose over here, mate.
Fast and loose.
For people listening that don't know who Mandy McLean is,
because we have listeners from Australia and England and whatever. Well, hello.
Yes, hello to all of you guys and America.
Don't forget you guys and Guatemala. And, hello to all of you guys. And America.
Don't forget you guys.
And Guatemala.
And where else?
Zimbabwe. We're doing really well in Argentina.
Argentina.
We actually are.
Great.
Argentina.
Hello, guys.
I can say one thing to our Argentinian listeners
because I had a friend who was Argentinian.
He taught me to say one thing.
It is, donde puedo comprar una quilmes?
Sounds dangerous.
Yeah.
Is it dangerous?
It's,
no,
it's,
can I have a beer?
A kilmes is like the Argentinian.
I feel like I just got way more attracted to you after you said that.
Did you like that?
That was really well done.
You're welcome.
Yeah.
Very well done.
Anyway,
what I was going to say is Maddie McLean normally does the weather on,
uh,
the big fancy morning breakfast TV show here.
Is that what we call it?
Yeah.
Yeah, it is.
It is.
Is that how you see us?
Like if you've seen the show, the morning show, like Good Morning America.
Think bigger.
Think bigger than that.
Yeah, I am basically Jennifer Aniston.
Pretty much.
I'd say you're more Reese Witherspoon.
Yeah, right.
You get paid more than her.
Do you know, it was funny because on that show,
she gets picked up in a car by a private driver.
That's right. She's sitting in the back seat with a coffee,
ready to talk her through the show.
How good.
I walk to work.
I walk to work at 3.45 in the morning.
Do you go to work at 3.45?
I have to make my own coffee.
And everyone always says, oh, what's the catering like?
What kind of food do you get on breakfast?
You have to bring your own breakfast.
I have to bring my own breakfast.
Oh, my gosh.
Yeah.
The travesty.
How dare they, Matthew.
So do not for a second think we're fancy pants over at TVNZ.
I think it's pretty fancy.
We got some fancy catering the other day.
We're not allowed to talk about that, though.
But, yeah, it's so interesting to see the different catering
that you get on certain things.
Like for people listening, like when you do TV.
What was our fancy catering?
No, not here.
Something else I was doing.
Secret.
Did I miss that?
Secret squirrels. That's my favorite part. Secret. Did I miss that? Secret squirrels.
That's my favourite part.
That's why I turn up usually.
Catering.
Yeah, for the catering.
It's just so fun when people feed you for free.
Why does it make it so much better?
Totally.
I love it.
It's like when you go into the Corrie Lounge in New Zealand.
It's the exact same.
The food is shit.
It's okay.
It's okay.
I quite like it. I love the eggs. But that's us going, It's okay. I quite like it.
I love the eggs. But that's us
going it's okay because we're not paying for it. But really we
are, but we're not. It depends.
If you're in the little regional lounges
that food is pretty bad.
The bigger ones are pretty good. Sometimes fresher.
But not as much. The hash browns
I hate when you go
this is such first world problems
and they don't have the hash browns.
I'm always devastated by it, like so devastated.
Usually I'm hungover and I'm like, all I want is the hash browns
and then it's that bloody, you know, those little sausages.
Which I don't mind the little sausages.
We've lost touch.
We have.
We've lost touch with the common man.
Well, you know what?
We haven't been able to fly anywhere in God knows how long
and who knows if we'll ever be able to fly again. But, you know what? We haven't been able to fly anywhere in God knows how long and who knows if we'll ever be able to fly again.
But, you know, I digress.
What are you doodling over there?
Just squares.
What did you call it?
I said doodling.
I thought you said doogling.
Doodling.
Oh, just squares.
We had this conversation last week, Matty,
about things you always were saying wrong
and you've only learnt later on in life.
Do you have any of those?
Because I'll tell you mine and people would have heard this
on the podcast if they listened to it.
You know the stuff in your eyes?
Yeah.
Whatever.
And people call it?
Sleepy dust.
Sleep.
Yeah.
For years, probably only a couple of years ago,
I always thought it was called sleet.
Because my mum told me that it was called sleet.
Because my mum told me that it was called sleet.
Yeah, like snow.
Then when you said that, I was like, not the worst name for it. Kind of makes sense.
Yeah, and also one of the ones that you probably got through for a long time
because people would have just misheard you and thought you said sleet.
Exactly.
But I wonder if my mum knows That she's been saying it wrong
A really good friend of mine at university
Thought it was pronounced
Pukiko
Instead of Pukiko
Pukiko
Okay
I mean
Yeah well that's
Not as dumb as mine
Let's call my mum
Okay let's call my
Oh and you can talk to my mum
Let's call my mum and ask her
And see What she thinks it's called.
We can chat while I do this.
Do you just have her on speed dial at this point?
I saw in the podcast group, which I really appreciate everyone's suggestions,
I thought I'd love reading these.
Producer Ben does like a best of summer's podcast,
like special editions,
and people were putting in what they want as the special edition podcast
and the best of mumma die has come up like a million times.
I've done it before.
You can do it again.
I mean, there's so much new content.
What about the dildo story?
She's the gift that keeps on giving.
She is.
Yeah, that's true.
What's your strike rate in terms of getting her on the phone?
Almost 100%. Wow. Pretty 100%, yeah. of getting her on the phone? Almost 100%.
Wow.
Pretty 100%, yeah.
She's always by the phone.
This will be the one time she doesn't pick up.
Hello?
Hi, Mum.
Hi, Brianna.
How are you going?
I'm good.
I'm just here with Producer Ben and Maddie McLean.
G'day, Mum.
Hi, guys.
Hi, Ben.
Hi, Anastasia.
Oh, yeah, Anastasia's there too.
She never forgets about you, Stage.
She loves you.
Maddie and I and Ben and Stage, we've finished the show,
but you're on the podcast intro, Mum.
Yeah, yeah, okay.
Oh, okay.
What I learnt, Mum and Di, is you're allowed to swear.
She won't.
She wouldn't do it.
Mum, say shit.
No, no. No, come on.
People, listen to the podcast.
Hi, Jonty, you little shit.
Whoa.
Hi, Jonty.
Hello.
Hello.
Oh.
Has he just woken up?
Yeah, he has.
Just gotten out of bed.
Can you say my name, Mum?
Wait a minute.
I'll get him to.
Hello, Rana.
So, hello, Rana.
Rana.
Rana.
Banana?
Hello, Rana.
Oh!
And he's waving at you.
Oh, so cute.
Tell him I miss him.
I miss them so much.
Hello.
Okay.
Mum, one question, simple question for you.
Hello, Anastasia.
She's still going on this.
She's still working, yes.
Hello, Anna.
No, he's had his moment. Back to us working, yes. Play. Enough. Enough. No, he's had his moment.
Back to us now, Mum.
He's had his moment.
Back to us, please.
I've had more moments than him.
Okay, Mum, simple question.
Focus for a minute.
Okay.
You know when you get gunk in your eyes, like in the corner of your eyes?
After you've woken up.
After you've woken up.
What do you call that?
Sleep.
I knew it.
Mum, did you know that you
have taught me that and then
I've realised that's not what
it's called.
What's it called? It's called. What's it called? Oh, no, it's called sleep.
Sleep.
No, it's not.
Yes, it is.
It definitely is.
Universally, it is called that.
It's sleep.
Like sleepy dust.
You're the only one that calls it sleep, and now I'm being made fun of.
I've got poor shoulders, Rana.
I'll take it for you.
I knew she'd still think it was
sleep. Look, guys,
as long as it's not called pink
eye, you're right.
And I think that's where we leave it.
Thank you, Mum. Appreciate that.
Keep that in mind. Love you, Mum. Bye.
Great show.
Can't believe it.
What?
She's still calling you.
I know.
Well, there you go.
Didn't I tell you?
I bet you she's still, and that's where I got it from.
And she's still going to go, nah.
She'll never change.
Yeah, it's too ingrained.
Yeah, it's too ingrained now.
Like, there was time for me, but not her.
Just let her live her life.
It's not going to make a difference, you know.
She's still happy as Larry

Good afternoon guys, welcome to the show
We're actually here today, well one of us is here
That's me, and Clint, your voice sounds a bit different today.
Does it?
Yeah, you sound much more, I don't know, happy.
I'm just kidding.
He's slacking off, isn't he?
I know. Where has he been?
I don't know.
I mean, I haven't been here either, so a bit of shush.
But Maddie McLean will be joining us this afternoon which we're very lucky to have you.
You're like one of the hardest working people I know.
Tell me about it.
You're doing TV in the morning,
you're doing radio in the afternoon.
What else do you do?
I did have a little sleep this afternoon
and I was so terrified I was going to sleep
and then find 15 missed calls from Ben on my phone.
Do you find when you nap,
because I find that as an adult, when I have a nap,
I wake up like I've been napping for about six years. Yes. Like I've been in a coma. Yes,
absolutely. And then it takes... Who am I? What's going on? What year is it? What the hell's
happened? And you don't know if it's morning or night or afternoon. It's so weird. I did once
back in the day, sleep so long in the afternoon
that I woke up, it was pitch black
outside. I went to the bathroom,
had a shower, started getting ready for work.
I got into my car.
I didn't drive to work,
but I got into my car.
And then realised it was six o'clock in the evening.
Can you imagine you get there and
Hilary Barry and Jeremy are there
and you're like, what are you guys doing here?
Hang on.
What's going on?
They're like, we're doing 7 Sharp.
What are you doing here?
Amazing.
We're going to have heaps of fun with Maddie McLean this afternoon.
And we've got $50, all thanks to our mates at KFC,
to give away right now.
Tradie versus Lady.
The scores, the Tradies are in front.
106, the Ladies on 93.
Girls, we need to step it up right now.
We could lose the whole thing for the year.
Call us now, 0800DIALZM, and we'll play next.
Right now, Ed Sheeran on ZM with Bree and Clint.
Bree and Clint.
Bree and Clint.
Tradies versus ladies.
Clint is away, but Manny McLean is in,
and he is quite the trivia master.
I'm ready to go.
Excellent.
So are we, and the tradies and the ladies are ready to go.
Let's introduce our tradie first.
He's 21.
He's from Christchurch, and he just became a qualified builder.
Welcome, Cameron.
Yo.
Good, Cameron.
Cam, congrats.
How long has that apprenticeship been?
It's just been shy of four years now.
Whoa.
Nice work.
Yeah, that's a big achievement.
Yeah, it is.
You're keen to make some real money now, Cam.
Yeah, yeah.
I've already gotten the pay rise, so now it's just been worth it.
Yes.
Bring it on.
Bring on the summer, your best summer of your life.
Excellent.
Welcome to the show.
For the ladies today, she's from Thames.
She's 33, and she's studying midwifery.
Welcome, Hester.
Hello, mate.
Hi there, hi there, hi there.
What year of study are you in?
I'm at the end of my first year.
Nice.
Just finished exam week, so almost a second year.
Hester, the ladies are behind on the tally.
Are you ready to claw it back for them?
Oh, I hope so.
Oh, you'll be all over this, mate.
All right, guys, the rules.
Hester, your buzzer is lady.
Cameron, your buzzer is tradie.
Buzz in when you think you know.
First of three points wins.
Matty, over to you, mate.
All right, question number one.
Reports are out today that a third instalment
of the Magic Mike movie series will be coming soon.
Not my kind of cupboard, there.
Not your cupboard.
It's my cupboard, too.
No, it definitely is mine.
I'm lying.
Who is the main star of that franchise?
Yes, Cameron.
Channing Tatum.
Nice.
Oh, it's a bit of Cameron also, by the sounds.
Nice, Cam.
One for the tradies.
You're on the board.
All right, question number two.
The National Party has a new leader.
Is it A, John Key, B, Christopher Luxon, or C, Clark Gayford? One for the tradies. You're on the board. All right, question number two. The National Party has a new leader.
Is it A, John Key, B, Christopher Luxon, or C, Clark Gayford?
Lady.
Ooh.
I think that was the lady.
I'm going to say lady too.
Hester?
I'm going B.
Correct.
Christopher Luxon.
Nice work.
She's pulled one back.
We're one apiece.
That would be awkward if Clark Gayford was the new leader, wouldn't it?
It would be.
Can you imagine the dinners
at home? How was your day, honey?
I can't talk about it. It was fine.
How was your day? Well, I can't talk about it to you
either. Alright, one apiece.
Question number three. Who sings
this song?
It's beginning to look a lot
like this song. Lady.
Yes, Hester.
I'm Michael Boobay.
Yes.
It is the boob.
I feel like there was a bit of help in the background,
but that's all right on tradie versus lady.
Two to the ladies, one to the tradies.
It's his time to shine.
It is his time to shine.
He's come out of hiding for one month of the year.
And then he goes back into his cave.
Question number four.
Waitangi Day celebrations have been cancelled at the marae for 2022.
What month is Waitangi Day celebrated?
Yes, Cameron.
Yes.
February is correct.
You've pulled one back and it's all tied up to a piece.
Here comes the tiebreaker.
Oh.
Okay.
What animal is the loudest on earth?
Is it an elephant, a sperm whale, a lion or a chimpanzee?
Yes, Cameron.
Sperm whale?
Lady.
He's done it.
He's got the win for the tradies.
Here's our work class, mate.
Cameron, very nicely done.
But Hester, I tell you, she was right behind you.
$50 coming your way thanks to KFC.
Cam, nice work.
Thank you.
Maddie McLean filling in for Clint.
Thanks for being here.
It's so nice to be here.
Now, I want to know from you,
have you ever given away big amounts of money on breakfast?
Has that been something you've done before?
We don't do big money giveaways.
The biggest thing we gave away once was a car.
Oh, that's pretty big.
It was huge.
And I got to pull up into the driveway.
And they didn't know about it.
They had no clue.
Amazing.
So, here I am.
What was their reaction?
Very understated because it's New Zealand.
Oh, cheer, bro.
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
Awesome.
Yeah.
Is it full of petrol?
Do I get to choose another colour?
Yeah, because I don't really like the red.
It's so interesting because live TV,
when they do the big money giveaways,
I love watching that stuff.
So good.
I think it's awesome.
And I found this piece of footage of this woman.
It's a TV reporter and it's essentially
the biggest Christmas lottery draw in Spain.
Right, so a lot of money.
A lot of money.
We're talking millions of dollars.
And this reporter, her name's Natalia Escudero,
and she was reporting and they were announcing the numbers
and she, as the numbers were being announced,
the look on her face is kind of like, oh, my God, I've won.
Oh, my God, they all started to line up for her.
I've won the lottery.
I'm live on TV.
I probably should be professional.
But she definitely wasn't.
Take a listen to Natalia thinking she'd won millions of dollars.
So that is Natalia Escudero,
who worked for the public broadcaster she began screaming
live on air and told audiences she was quite not coming to work tomorrow oh dear jump the gun
slightly it seemed it turned out that she'd only won a small share of the big prize about five and
a half thousand dollars but maybe not enough to quit your job. So she thought she'd won over $6 million,
and she said, I'm not coming to work tomorrow, you can shove it.
Which is the ultimate dream, right?
Which I mean, as if you wouldn't.
No.
And turns out, yeah, she'd only won about $8,000 New Zealand dollars,
which, I mean, still good.
Still great, but then what do you do?
Do you go grovelling back to your boss?
I was just kidding.
Can you imagine? It you go groveling back to your boss? I was just kidding. Can you imagine?
It's the ultimate celebrating early.
You know when you see those videos where someone celebrates too early
and you're like, oh, no.
Devo.
Have you ever won any money?
Oh, 20 bucks in like a scratchy.
Yeah.
Someone that I know from back home won about $19 million.
Stop it. Seriously. I thought you were home won about $19 million. Stop it.
I thought you were going to say $19,000.
No, $19 million.
In the New Zealand lotto.
You're kidding me.
Crazy, right?
And have you ever seen that person again?
No, never.
No.
Neither has their family, unfortunately.
They just skipped the country.
They're out of here.
It's so interesting when people win big amounts of money to see.
Like I remember this girl I went to boarding school with.
I was going through a paper once and she,
I like noticed her picture in the paper.
This was like seven years after we left boarding school.
And I was like, oh, my God, I know that girl.
And she'd won $250,000 on a scratchy.
Wow.
A scratchy. I didn't think people won anything on those. I000 on a scratchy. Wow. A scratchy.
I didn't think people won anything on those.
I thought that was a scam.
Same.
$2 usually I win.
I do remember I had to do an interview with a guy
who won about $26 million in Lotto
from to go far to just south of Auckland a few years ago.
And he worked at the Pack and Save
and he swore on national television
that he was going to turn back up to work
on the Monday. And did he? No.
They never saw him again.
Oh, can you blame him?
No, I can't at all. You can't, but it would have
been a boss move to turn up to work the next day.
It would have been such a boss move.
I think it'd be, I really want to talk to people
that have won any
type amount of money.
It doesn't have to be millions.
It can be, you know, let's say thousands.
Have you won any type of money in any sort of way?
Like a significant amount that you can do something with.
Yeah.
How much did you win?
0800 dial ZM.
You can remain anonymous if your family are listening
and they don't know about.
We will keep you anonymous.
0800 dial ZM. Or you can text us right now on 9696. family are listening and they don't know about um we will keep you anonymous oh 800 dials at m
or you can text us right now on 9696 did you win a big amount of money right now
and we're talking have you won money before because there's a tv presenter over in spain
who was hosting their big christmas lotto draw and then all of a sudden she thinks she's won
and it sounded like this.
So that is Natalia Escudero
who worked for the public broadcaster.
She began screaming live on air
and told audiences
she was, quote,
not coming to work tomorrow.
Oh dear.
Jumped the gun slightly it seemed.
It turned out that she'd only won
a small share of the big prize,
about $5,500, but maybe not enough to quit your job.
I mean, you know, thousands compared to millions.
I think she had to go to work the next day, Maddie.
She counted a few zeros wrong.
Yeah.
Yeah, exactly.
So we're asking you this afternoon on 0800DIALS at M,
did you win some money?
Let's go to Leah.
Hi, Leah.
Hello.
Was it you that won some money or someone you know?
Myself.
How much did you win?
$1,200 for a singing competition.
Whoa. Hello.
Okay. And what?
Was it just like a local singing competition?
It was at an RSA.
Nice.
God, RSA edition Nice. All right.
God, RSA edition out the big dollars.
And that would get you quite a few drinks at the RSA.
Absolutely, but I probably spent that on my kids.
Nice.
Leah, can I ask, what song did you win with?
Oh, I do not remember.
Give me a second.
I'm pretty sure it was Mercy by Duffy.
Oh, yeah?
Yep, absolute banger.
Solid tune.
Okay, well, we might see you around the next Friday Oki Tour then.
Oh, yes, yes.
We'll see you there.
Yeah, pretty decent amount of money for a singing competition.
It's all right, especially for an RSA one.
Absolutely.
Someone said on the text machine, I turned $3,000 into $100,000 when I was 17 with my Tesla shares.
That is good.
I mean, it's pretty much like winning money, isn't it?
Yeah.
Because you haven't really done much.
I wish I'd put money into Zoom last year.
Oh, yeah.
Imagine how much you'd have right now.
Did you hear, what's his name?
Soldier Boy.
Yeah.
He had a soap company and it just went ballistic after obviously COVID
and now he's like 10 times richer than he was before
because, I mean, he hadn't done all that much.
He had a bit of a break and then now he's absolutely killing it again.
Is it called Soldier Boy Soap?
Yeah, I think.
I don't know.
Soap on a rope, maybe.
Who knows?
Let's go to Paddy.
G'day, Paddy.
How's it going?
Good, thanks.
Did you win a big amount of money?
I won 10 grand on the pokies.
Jesus.
I mean,
that's a big payout.
Yeah, it wasn't too bad.
Too bad.
Was it a boys' night out?
Was it petty?
Yeah, yeah, just a few beers around at the pros
and won it online on the online casino, yeah.
Oh, there you go.
Nice work.
Congratulations.
Well done.
Cheers.
I'd like to say I'm loving the new Clint, by the way.
Oh, thank you.
Oh, that's so sweet.
I reckon he should stick around.
Well, I mean, you know what? His seat's pretty warm at the way. Oh, thank you. Oh, that's so sweet. I reckon he could stick around. Well, I mean, you know what? His seat's
pretty warm at the moment. We'll see what Clint has to say about it. Yeah, bloody
oh. Thanks for your call, Paddy. Thanks, mate. Someone else on
the text machine said, my dad won a house in the South
Island in the Hart Foundation Lottery. I've always seen those
things and wondered who wins them. Because I always
go to enter those and then I'm like
oh there's probably so many people
entering these but there you go someone
actually won it. Although every time I'm
in a small town and I go and buy a lotto
ticket I assume that that's a sign
that this is my big win
that this is my big moment. I never win.
Said every person ever. Exactly.
I've got a feeling guys that I could be winning tonight.
Maddie, I thought to myself today,
God, I wonder what the guys from S Club 7 are up to this.
I mean, I think about this on a regular, like on a weekly basis.
You know, I follow one of them on Instagram.
And?
Which one do you think I follow?
Is it Rachel's doing her thing?
I loved Rachel, but no, I follow Jo.
Jo, she's got the flow.
Jo is the lyricist, like the vocalist.
She did all the lead singing.
Yeah, exactly.
The others just kind of fell behind.
And did the cool dance moves.
The cool dance moves.
That were really in time.
But there's news on a different member of S Club 7.
Huge.
Remember Paul?
Paul's getting down on the floor.
I mean, I wonder if he's back up yet.
He's been down there for a while.
No, he's up and he's doing something pretty crazy.
He did an ACL.
Because I don't know that the singing career kind of took off.
Paul was the one that left the band first.
God, you are like a big S Club 7 fan.
You know heaps.
I have useless pop culture trivia.
I don't know anything about anything else.
You fit very well into a radio station.
Thank you so much.
Get me to a pub quiz and I'll be good for that one round
and then I sit back and drink the rest of the time.
I'll keep that in mind for the next pub quiz down at the RSA.
Anyway, Paul obviously hasn't had the hugest of music careers since leaving East Club 7.
I mean, it's been a slow burn for Paul.
He's found his new niche.
Okay, and what's Paul up to?
Paul, believe it or not, is a tarot card reader.
That is such a drastic change. is a tarot card reader. What? I'm not even kidding.
That is such a drastic change.
He's launched his own YouTube channel called Tarot Me This.
Cute.
He's got 45 videos there at the moment.
He makes all types of different online content,
clairvoyance, sorcery, soothsaying.
What is soothsaying?
I have no idea. It sounds
real soothing. I love talking
in what I think a tarot card
reader would sound like.
Can you imagine if you called Paul
from S Club 7?
And he's like,
hello, it's Paul.
Welcome to my S Club 7 tarot card.
I see the eight of spades,
and that means you're going to have a long and healthy life.
I also see an S Club party.
Don't stop moving.
I see my dreams that have faded away.
I also see big money in my future
because I'm charging a bomb for this.
Hey, well, go, Paul.
We salute you.
He's up off the floor and he's doing his thing.
Good for you, Paul.
I can't wait to book in for a tarot card.
It would be quite fun.
It would be quite fun.
Bree and Clint from iHeartRadio.
This is the latest live from LA with Dean McCarthy.
Speaking of choreography and shmexy dance moves,
Channing Tatum says he's coming back for movie number three, Dean.
It's happening. Magic Mike number three, Dean. It's happening.
Magic Mike number three is going to be here.
That's going to be the final film to kind of like round out the Magic Mike world.
He's probably just sick of getting abs and, you know what I mean,
like getting in that level of shape is so hard, I think, for them.
So, you know, every time I hear that Genuine Pony song, you know that,
if you're gonna make me do it, I just straight away become Magic Mike myself.
It's coming.
The third one, the final one, it's going to be here,
and I honestly think that it's going to be great.
I can't wait.
Because I read somewhere, Dean, and I don't know, Matty,
if you probably know quite a lot about these movies,
it's up your alley.
I don't know what you mean.
He made so much money from these films,
and then he's obviously broken off into a franchise
where he does shows
in Vegas and I think a show
in Australia and all over the world
and he's just made so much
money from the franchise. Is that right
Dean? He's made
it's brilliant. He actually gets
a cut every time someone goes to see the Magic
Mike shows around the world. But I've actually
got an idea. I think Maddie Mike
is the next big thing
because I've seen your videos on the set of the TV show every morning.
I think that you need to be the next Maddie Mike.
You have to be your own.
I'll get the baby oil ready and we'll just oil Maddie McLean up
and he's good to go.
Yeah, I do need to stop eating pizza if I'm going to do that though.
Yeah, I'm just, Producer Ben's just showing me how much he's earned.
It's like nearly $100 million or something crazy.
I also heard, Dean, that he gets a cut every time someone does a body shot off of someone.
Well, he's trademarked that, hasn't he?
Yeah, he's trademarked the body shot.
There you go, chatting Tate, a magic mind.
He got $9 million off me.
Yeah, crazy.
Yeah, that's for me.
Bree and Clint.
Clint away.
Maddie McLean filling in.
And we're doing, we're spreading some Christmas cheer this afternoon, Maddie.
Because we are pimping out the services of our gift-giving guru here at the Bree and Clint show, Producer Ben.
And Christmas is just around the corner.
Exactly.
People are starting to panic.
They're starting to worry about what gifts to get people.
Don't panic.
You've got heaps of time.
I panic.
See, look, he's so calming.
This is good.
I love this influence because I panic and every year I think I've got to get onto this
and then December 24th, like clockwork, I'm running through the malls like I'm Kevin McAllister
trying to get to the airport.
And let me guess, you nail it.
Yeah, I do pretty well.
Yeah, I think so.
But I might pick your brain still.
Yeah, well, anyway, producer Ben, and this is no BS,
he's very good at gift giving.
He just is able to think outside the box and they're quite thoughtful gifts
and I thought we could dish out the services.
All he needs is the name, who the person that you want to buy a gift for is,
a few facts,
and then Ben will use his guru-ness
to tell you what the gift is.
And so this stuff just comes to you like that, Ben?
Sometimes it does take a while,
but for this moment, I'll be quick about it.
It's like tarot card reading.
It's a gift.
Sometimes the vision's there
and sometimes it's flooding off into the ether. I think you've got this, Ben. Let's go to
Martin first. G'day, Martin. How you going? Doing good? Good, thank you,
Martin. Now, look, the first thing we need to know is who is the gift
for? You or someone else? No, so this is for my wife.
Shannon. We hear you're coming to someone else for a wife gift, but that's okay.
It's dangerous. Yeah but that's okay. It's dangerous.
Yeah, that's true.
But maybe, you know, Shannon will be really surprised
because this gift is going to be super thoughtful.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay, you need to give Ben, guru gift giving Ben.
Yeah, what does she do for a job, Martin?
So she used to sell clothes, but now she just sort of runs the shop.
Okay.
So not clothes. Is it like a physical shop or an online shop?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, physical shop.
Instead of running the physical shop, she sort of stepped backwards
and is now running the online stuff.
Okay.
Does she have any hobbies, Martin?
Is there anything she's really into?
Is she into gaming, like a bit of Fortnite?
In an argument, she'll tell me she has no hobbies,
but she loves gardening.
Okay.
Interesting.
And where do you live?
We're in Taranaki.
Right.
Oh, the Naki.
I think Producer Ben will be all over this one.
What are we thinking, Guru Gift Giver?
Yeah, that's tricky.
I'm assuming if she's so much into gardening,
you would have overdone it in the gardening gift stuff, right?
You would have been a duncan.
I've built a few raised gardens for her, yes.
That's a great gift.
That is a great gift.
Yeah, a raised garden is a very good gift.
You know what else is a great gift?
Have you seen those things, Martin,
where you can grow all the different types of herbs in that inside garden?
That's pretty cool.
That is very cool.
Yeah.
But hey, we're not the gurus here.
And this is amazing.
I'm seeing the process in real life.
Let's go to Guru Ben.
Martin, I've got an idea for you.
Are you ready, mate?
Yeah.
What about some kind of fun, quirky sign for her shop that you've done,
that you've made up like a personalized open-close sign?
Cute.
Now, I've joked with her previously because I do a bit of blacksmith Cute. Now I've joked with her previously
because I do a bit
of blacksmithing
and I've joked
with her and said
I need to make
one for you.
There you go.
You're done.
Never eventuated.
Martin that's a
great one.
That is so good.
It's so thoughtful
and it shows that
you've put time
and effort into
And she'll use it?
Yeah.
And everyone will
see it and she'll
be able to talk
about it.
Well there you go
mate.
There you go
Martin we've
saved your marriage.
Well I mean
you're absolutely amazing. There you go, Martin. We've saved your marriage. Well, I mean.
You're absolutely legit.
Appreciate you calling through, Martin, using the GIF guru.
Let's go to Libby.
Hi, Libby.
Hey.
Who's the GIF for, Libby?
So it's for my eldest sister who's currently tramping the whole of the South Island.
Wow.
This will be easy for Ben. Been there, done that, Libby.
And then he went for a hike.
All right, the process is starting.
And she just graduated med school.
Just graduated med school.
Okay.
And where does she live?
So, well, she's kind of been living all over the place,
but she's starting her job in Hawke's Bay next year.
God, she's obviously high achiever.
Ben, this gift needs to be good.
So you need to think of the sister connection.
Yeah, that's fine.
Libby, I'm assuming she's walking the Te Araro Trail?
Yeah, that's the one.
Oh, he's good, isn't he?
Oh, come on.
Look at him.
I've definitely got you should go to the Te Araro website, not a plug.
They've got great T-shirts and hats.
And it's fun and it's thoughtful.
And she'll wear it.
Oh, that's a good idea.
Also, because she's vegan,
I'll have to get her a bucket of the new Chocolicious cookie.
I don't know why you came to me, Libby, at this point.
Libby, you're a...
Hey, are you just trying to do a plug?
I'm not a Christmas cookie seller.
Oh!
Libby! Libby! No, we won't. Slug. I'm not a Christmas cookie seller. I'm Dicitalious. Dicitalious.
Libby.
Libby.
Libby.
No, I applaud that.
I applaud that.
We haven't had that on the show before.
And very sneaky from you, Libby.
Very well done.
You enjoy that and hopefully your sister does too.
She does.
Should we go to one more?
Yeah, we'll do one more.
Anonymous has called us up.
Hello, Anonymous
Hello
Okay, Anonymous
Who's the gift for?
Oh
The gift is for my mother-in-law
Who's not my number one fan
Oh, okay
Okay, so a mother-in-law
Does she know that?
Does she know that she's not
Yeah, like
She doesn't like me?
Yeah
No, like the other
Yeah, okay, okay.
So are you trying to impress her?
Like is this a gift to win her over?
Or is this a screw you, I don't need your approval kind of a gift?
Definitely number two.
Oh.
Because I was going to say if it's number one, just a big bag of cash.
Just give her a big bag of cash.
Yeah, see,
that's a negative gift giving
and I don't allow that.
That's a tricky one.
You're not into that.
The guru is...
Yeah, it's hard for me.
What about...
Is that where we draw the line?
I mean, I was going to say
a bag of coal,
but I think we've gone too far.
I was kind of thinking
a mug with my face on it.
I love that.
Oh, yeah, what about one of those mugs that,
so she won't know, one of those mugs that when you put
the boiling water in it and when it starts to heat,
then the image starts to show on the mug?
That is brilliant.
So you just give her a normal mug and it's like,
oh, that's fun, it's another mug to add to the collection.
And then when she uses it, there's a picture
and you can do whatever you want with that picture.
And it can be your hand and it looks like you're doing the peace sign
but when the hot water fills up, you're giving her the finger.
Yeah.
That's amazing.
I think that's a good idea.
Or it just says, ho, ho, ho, bitch, it's your worst nightmare.
Oh, my God.
Too many McLean's, my God.
Brian Clint.
Eddie McLean is here filling in.
It's so nice to be here.
Well, I don't know how much longer you're going to be here after all.
It just came out of nowhere.
It really did.
Do you know what I think?
I think because...
Kia ora, I'm Jane Yee.
I'm Alex Casey.
And I'm Duncan Grave.

As I'm on radio, I felt like I could be a little naughty.
No, you can.
You can.
And obviously, you know, Santa won't be giving you presents this year.
But who cares?
We can't say that kind of stuff on TV.
Literally, you were telling me before, you can get away with the word crap.
I could probably say crap.
Yeah, but not anything else.
Literally nothing else.
What about turd?
Let's stop comparing.
What about fart?
No.
Okay, we'll move on.
We'll move on.
Move on to a really interesting story I found.
Do you know what I often think how cool it would be?
Imagine if you were the voice of Siri or the voice of Alexa.
I've talked to her before.
Really?
Yeah.
Well, I talked to the Aussie one, and I think she's the Kiwi Siri as well.
Right.
But, you know, she just replied to a job ad.
She was living in New York and she was a voiceover actress and artist
and she replied to this ad that said, you know, it's this amount of work,
but she didn't know what it was.
Right.
And I think she said it was something like 70 hours or maybe
more. It took weeks and weeks and weeks.
Well, it would. You've literally got to say kind of every
word, every syllable.
But I always thought how fascinating it would be
to kind of be sitting in your living room and hear your
own voice all the
time. You can do that with the podcast when you
get home tonight with this show.
Just imagine
your partner. Are you listening to yourself?
Get the podcast now on wherever you get the podcast.
But anyway, a new tech company is offering money for someone to give their voice and
their face to be a robot.
What?
Yeah.
Wait, so they're saying that they want the robots to look like real people.
So it's a company called Promobot and they want their robots to look really realistic
and sound really realistic.
So they want to use someone's face and someone's voice as the prototype
to basically build this new robot.
So they'll give you how much, did you say?
Well, how much would you do it for?
I feel like you don't know what people
are using these robots for well you know what type of robots are they are they you know i'm just i'm
just being realistic here because your face and your voice is going to be trotting around people's
homes and stuff yeah and it doesn't really go into what kind of robots they'll be or what you can do with slash to the robot.
Right, right.
Like, is it a cleaning robot?
But how does 150,000 pounds sound?
Hello.
I am Brie, a robot.
Oh, I like that.
Let's hear your robot voice.
Hello.
I am Matt.
No?
No.
Okay, try again.
Try again.
I think you've got a bit of robot in you.
Hello, I am Matty.
Is that better?
Thank you.
That's not too bad.
Hello, do you want me to clean something?
No, too sexy.
Way too sexy.
Way too sexy.
But then maybe that's what they're after.
Yeah.
Hey, well, you never know.
I'd be interested, if people want to text us on 9696,
would you give away your likeness and your voice
so they could turn you into a robot?
They say you have to sign a licence agreement
and the use of your appearance is for an unlimited period.
Oh, so you could just live on forever?
Forever as a robot.
They've already got robots working in roles
including administrators, promoters, consultants, guides and concierges.
You know what would be so weird is that when you saw your own robot in real life,
so like you could just go into people's houses if they had your robot that looked like you
and then you would just be hanging out in their house.
I wonder if it's the kind of thing where if you do this,
you and the robot can never be in the same room
because the robot won't be able to process what's going on.
It'll like internally combust.
It'll like freak out. Yeah, do like
Austin Powers like head spin, explode
kind of thing. I mean, I would definitely
sign up for, you know,
becoming a robot if
Will Smith was in the next movie.
You know? Sign me up.
The next iRobot, I'll be
Will Smith's next iRobot.
Well, we know what kind of robot you're going to be.
Clint's away today, but Maddie McLean is in Filling In.
And we were both discussing these people who have been stuck
in a karaoke bar for a long time now.
This is such a good story.
It's the ultimate lock-in.
Like, we thought, you know, lockdown's pretty boring.
You're stuck at home with your family that you don't like anymore
because you've been locked down with them for however long.
But these people got locked down at a karaoke bar
where there's alcohol, there's singing,
and there was even a famous band or something?
Well, a famous, a tribute band of a famous band.
So 61 people became trapped in the Tan Hill Inn in Yorkshire in the UK
because there was a massive snowstorm.
So what?
They just couldn't leave?
They couldn't leave.
I wonder how long were they actually locked inside the bar? So they had to make makeshift beds, put
mattresses down on the floor. They camped out. It was a little sleep
over. Pour in the wines, pour in the beers. So there was
they were all there to see an Oasis tribute
band called, get this, Noasis.
Great name.
So Noasis, the band, got locked down there with them as well.
So they've been playing tunes.
Oh, well, at least there's a band there that can actually sing.
Can you imagine you go to a karaoke thing,
and karaoke's all fun and games
where everyone's had a few too many Shirley Temples
and you're all on the source.
Exactly.
Karen from finance thinks she can sing a big tune.
And so she gets up there, tries to belt out a bit of Whitney Houston.
They're all belting out songs, but when you get locked down,
you wake up the next morning and Karen's back on the mic.
You know, not as fun.
Not as fun.
But the owner of the pub has said everyone's loving it.
They've kind of formed this really tight-knit community.
They're all like a big family now.
It's like, you know when you're in, they say,
hostages kind of bond together for life?
It's kind of like that situation.
Well, kind of, because you're at a karaoke bar
and bloody the tribute band, No Oasis, won't stop singing.
You'd have to really love Oasis.
Yeah.
Well, I mean, here we go.
Let's test your knowledge.
Oasis, obviously known for their massive hit single,
Wonderwall.
Yes.
Maddie McLean, name one other Oasis song.
Oh, God, where do I start?
There's so many.
There's, you know, the other big one.
About the tree and the people.
The one about the city.
Well, lucky we didn't get locked down.
So many.
Lucky we didn't get locked down with this tribute band.
We would have known all the songs by then.
There you go.
Locked down in a karaoke bar.
There's worse places to be locked down.
Like, I mean, Auckland.
Bree and Clint.
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...
That's right, Google Down is back for another week
where we endeavour to find the fastest Googler
in all of the country.
And Anastasia, this is your game.
Yeah.
You are the one to beat.
But this week, obviously, Clint's away
and Matty McLean, very competitive.
Rather.
He's performed in the past.
But can he do it today?
That's what we're going to find out.
All right.
Well, you're going to also have to beat Callum today.
G'day, Callum.
Callum.
Are you there, Callum?
Good, guys.
How are you going?
G'day, Cal.
Were you just making a bit of afternoon tea or something?
I think the speakerphone's playing out, so I'll just give it a go.
Oh, no.
Okay, well, I've got faith in you, Cal.
You know how to play?
You've played the game before?
Yeah, I've heard it on the radio.
Okay, perfect.
For everyone else who hasn't heard the game, this is the rules.
I will be reading out a question that I have put into Google.
So I'm looking for the most common answer,
the first one that comes up for this particular question
that I'm asking.
If you're the first person to yell out that correct answer,
I will give you a point.
If you yell out the wrong answer, you're out of that question
and you need to wait for the next one.
First to three will win the game.
And we're Googling on phones today. Everyone is on a phone and here comes question number
one. When was the company Jim Beam
founded? When was the company
Is it on my computer? 1975.
What were you going to say Cal?
No, you've got 1899 but it's some Japanese Jim Beam country.
Yeah.
I also don't have what producer A's day just said.
1864.
1795, is it?
Oh, my God.
Now, no.
1935.
Producer Ben's got it.
1935 is what comes up for that exact question that I just asked.
I'd Googled Jim Heem, so...
And when was that founded?
Today.
I said Hum Bean.
Today by me.
There we go.
Just goes to show you're never out of it.
So Producer Ben is on the board with one.
Question number two.
How many episodes were there of Breaking Bad?
How many episodes were there of Breaking Bad? How many episodes were there?
62.
Producer Anastasia just got in over Maddie McLean.
I'm still counting.
She swipes that point.
Oh, look at her.
You're a little piff in your step, don't you?
One win.
You got to win more than one, though, Producer Anastasia.
Don't let him get in your head.
All right.
Cal, I feel like you're right there behind them.
So here we go.
Question number three.
Come on.
Who won season seven of American Survivor?
Sandra Diaz-Twan.
Did you just know that off the top of your head?
He's got it.
He's got it.
Are you serious?
Holy hooker. You knew he liked
Survivor. I didn't know he liked
it that much. That's crazy.
Especially that it's not a
very memorable name.
A memorable season.
That's the one with Rob.
Was Rob in that one? No.
Sandra. The guy with the cat?
Anyway, that was wild, Maddie.
Okay, everyone in here on one point.
Callum, come on.
You need to get on the board.
Here we go.
Question number four.
What is the net worth of Tobey Maguire?
$75 million.
What did you say?
$75 million.
Producer Anastasia got it.
$75 million is correct. That say? $75 million. Produce Anastasia got it. $75 million is correct.
That didn't feel good at all.
$75 million.
I do believe Cal's coming with the ladies.
He's on the board.
He's on the board.
I'll give you that one.
No, we'll give you that one.
That means Produce Anastasia's on two, Maddie's on one,
Produce Abel on one.
No, Callum, you can have my point. Okay,astasia's on two, Maddie's on one, Producer Ben on one. No, Callum, you can have my point.
Okay, Callum's on two, Maddie's on one.
We could win it here, Callum.
Nah, Callum, you got this.
You're all over it.
Come on, Callum.
Here comes question number five.
Producer Anastasia or Callum could take it.
Maddie, you need this one to stay in it.
Right.
How many white rhinos are there left in the world in 2021?
How many white?
Two.
Two?
Maddie McLean got it.
Really?
Two.
Yes.
Crazy.
Hey, there are now only two northern white rhinos left in the world.
Crazy.
That means we are going to a three-way tie break.
And who doesn't love a three-way on this show?
Come on, here we go.
Question number six.
Come on, Callum.
At what age does a human fully mature?
25.
How did you know that?
18.
Oh, no, this is coming up with maturity, brain maturity. How did you know that, 18. Oh, no, this is coming up with maturity, brain maturity.
How did you know that, Ben?
I threw that out there.
I was playing for Callum.
Producer Ben got it and he was playing for Callum,
which means Callum takes it out.
Yes, Callum.
Well done, Callum.
Well done.
What a game.
Thank you, thank you.
We just put a little bit of mutter into it.
Yes.
Well, Callum, you put in the mahi, so you get the treats.
50 KFC chicken dollars coming your way, mate.
Too much.
Thank you, guys.
Nice work.
Thanks for playing.
I'm just happy Maddie didn't win.
Oh, come on.
Bree and Clint.
And I said just before, Maddie, that there's a baby in the UK
that's been given a name and it's essentially been named
after an iconic movie character.
And I have been racking my brains trying to think
what this character could be.
What do you think?
Any ideas?
Well, I was just trying to think of what is, A, iconic,
but equally would have never been used before.
And I'm honestly drawing a blank.
Well, I mean, think newer characters.
Like some people have said on the text machine,
characters like, I mean, iconic, Yoda.
Oh, yeah.
R2-D2.
Baby Yoda.
R2-D2.
R2-D2?
Yeah, R2-D2.
Borat came up.
Great.
Probably not used.
Someone else said, what about Lightning McQueen?
I mean, yeah, absolutely.
But no, it is none of those names because reports out today
from a parenting website that one youngster has been named...
Thanos.
Oh.
That's right.
Obviously, super villain from the Marvel movies,
the Avengers, Thanos.
When you suggested it before,
and without me knowing it was going to be an Avengers star,
I thought Thor.
Oh, you thought Thor.
And I was like, kind of a cool name.
But then I was like, no, that's quite common.
Theodore. I was going to say, I can't say I was like, kind of a cool name. But then I was like, no, that's quite common. Theodore.
I was going to say, I can't say I've met a lot of Thors.
But you probably wouldn't.
Yeah, you wouldn't bring that down to Thor.
Yeah.
Anyway, that's where my head went.
Thanos.
That's a badass name.
It's just interesting to me because obviously, you know,
super villain.
So the kid, you're automatically scared of the kid.
You're like, don't snap, don't snap.
Like, is the kid going to grow up to be bad? Like a super villain because they've named
it Thanos. Because he is quite scary in those films.
I also looked into, because I had some more kind of stats on this study. Different characters that babies have been named after in the past couple of years.
So it's quite interesting. Obviously the show Sex Education
very popular and they've seen a rise in the
names that are featured on that show. Otis, Maeve and Eric.
A lot of people naming their kids that.
Also a big rise and this is very controversial,
because if you've seen the TV show You,
which is obviously very gruesome, about murder,
there's a lot of people naming their kid
after one of the murderers in that show.
Oh, really?
What's the name?
Or you don't want to say it because it's a spoiler?
Okay, well, it's not a spoiler, because if you, I mean, you should know.
But if Love is one of the characters in that show.
Really?
Apparently, big rise in that name.
Yeah, I mean, that's a beautiful name.
The problem with naming a kid something like Thanos
is they've got so much to kind of live up to.
Yeah.
Or they've got a certain reputation to uphold.
Like, imagine if they end up being this super flamboyant gay kid.
They're like, hi, my name's Thanos.
I mean, it kind of suits.
Imagine, though, imagine, though, he gets to the playground,
he rocks up, and then he's confronted with the other kid
whose name is Captain America.
Then, I mean, that's really awkward for Captain America.
One, because his name's Captain America, which isn't the best name.
And then he's face-to-face with Thanos and they expect it to fight.
Well, it's a playground battle.
I'd say.
I'd stick around for it.
Do you guys know anyone or did you meet anyone ever that was named
after like a movie character or a TV show character?
I'm trying to think now.
All I can think of, and we talked about it earlier,
was someone we had on the phone on this show a few weeks ago called Keanu.
Oh, yeah, that's right.
Not really a character, though, but.
I mean, movie star.
Yeah.
But, I mean, would be quite interesting like any movie
character or like even i'm trying to think if i have met anyone i did know someone growing up that
was called diana after princess diana yeah well there you go because that was very popular super
popular people would have been you know naming their child after her because she was such an iconic figure.
Imagine if you met someone with the name Darth.
Oh, that's good.
You know?
Is anyone calling their kid Darth?
I feel like I want to ask people.
Someone on the text machine has already messaged
and said they named their kid Harvey after Harvey Specter in suits.
Cool.
Love that.
That's awesome.
I want more of those.
Do you know someone, maybe it's you
or your kid or
someone else's kid, do you
know someone that's been named after an
iconic movie character or TV
show character? 0800
dial ZM or you can text
us on 9696.
Do you know someone that's been named
after a character? We're Clint. We're talking about
this child over in the UK who has been named
after the super villain Thanos in the
Marvel series. Apparently, I got it wrong. I thought he was
the first one, but apparently someone else named their baby
Thanos last year.
But I don't know if there's any more.
There might only be two Thanoses.
Yeah, I wouldn't have said it was a super common name.
Yeah, so one Thanos, two Thanai?
Yeah.
Is that what they say?
Yeah.
Yeah, I thought that's what they said.
So we're asking you this afternoon on 0800DIALZM, do you know someone, maybe it's you, that's
been named after a movie or a TV show character?
Let's go to Idu.
Hello.
Hi.
How are you?
Yeah, not pretty good, no.
Not too bad.
Who's the person you know that's been named after a character?
Oh, my kids.
Okay.
What did you name your kid?
My son's names are Odin and Loki.
Oh!
You know what's so interesting, Idu, is that I saw in this article
is that there's actually been a rise in people naming their kids
after those people as well.
Yeah, it's not surprising.
Is Loki a super cheeky kid as well?
Yeah, well, he's only two years old.
I mean, you've done it to yourself though, haven't you?
Name me.
I love that.
I think those names are very cool.
Very cool.
What about you, Hayley?
Who's the person that has the name after a character?
I named my son Kylo.
Kylo?
Oh, after Kylo Ren from Star Wars.
Yeah, that's the one.
Wow.
Was that a you decision
or was that a hubby decision?
A joint one.
We're both pretty big Star Wars fans
and so is my dad as well.
So, yeah, we wanted something
that was a little bit different,
not mainstream,
but not super weird at the same time.
So Kylo kind of works.
Hayley, if you have another one, are you
thinking of naming them Chewbacca?
No, we have had another one
and we've called him Flynn, which
was very close to Finn,
which is also a Star Wars character.
But we didn't want to make it too obvious.
Yeah, no, I love that, because you
know, right?
Like you know what it is.
That's cool.
Chewbacca's the next one.
It'll be the third one, I think.
Renee?
Hello?
Renee, who's the person that's got the movie or TV show character name?
So my daughter is actually named Aria,
but it's spelt like Aria of Game of Thrones.
Oh. Who's the big Game of Thrones. Oh.
Who's the big Game of Thrones fan?
Is it you?
No.
Oh, well, I love it, but her father was more the fan than I was.
And can I ask, obviously, when did you have her?
What season was it when you had her?
So she's born 2000 and she's five now,
so we're kind of in the middle of it.
Okay, so in the middle.
Did he regret it after seeing the end?
No.
I know for a fact a few Game of Thrones fans were a big fan of the ending,
but that's good.
No regrets.
Well, see, he messaged me one day and was like,
can you Google Arya Stark?
And I was like, what?
And then, yeah, and then after that her name was Arya.
Yeah, I love that name.
It's beautiful.
Very cool.
Well done.
What about you, Helena?
Have you named someone after a movie or TV show
or is it someone you know?
Helena?
I think we've lost Helena.
Let's go to Laura.
Hello, Laura.
Hello.
Who's the person that has a movie or TV show character name?
My son.
We called him Logan after Wolverine.
Love that.
And I mean, such a cool character.
Love that character.
Definitely.
Me and my husband absolutely love Wolverine,
so it was just a no-brainer, really.
And how old is he now?
He's two and a half.
Can you imagine when he watches that film
and then he starts to believe that he is Wolverine?
Yeah, he's going to be...
I think that's what my husband was hoping.
Just going to be an absolute little nightmare.
Yeah, watch out when he's a teenager. The claws come out.
Yeah, absolutely.
Yeah, already is a nightmare.
Very cool, Laura.
Love that.
Let's go to Nick last.
G'day, Nick.
How's it going?
Good, thanks.
This is about your grandfather, I believe.
Yeah, it is, yeah.
What was his name?
His name is Peter Parker.
No. No. Wait a minute. Wait a minute, yeah. What was his name? His name is Peter Parker. No. No.
Wait a minute.
Wait a minute, Nick.
Who came first?
Yeah, who came first, your grandfather or Peter Parker?
I haven't had time to look that up.
I've only just got in the car, so I'm not actually sure.
He's in his mid-70s or late-70s now, so I do think it's just a coincidence.
Can I ask, does he ever go
missing late at night for long
periods of time?
Does he ever have, you know, mysterious
cuts or bruises on him?
Well, he's my mum's
father and mum's big joke is
you never want to see him in
the Spider-Man outfit
Love that, There you go.
New Zealand's very own Peter Parker.
Love it.
Thanks, Nick.
Appreciate your call.
No, no.
Appreciate it.
Bree and Clint.
Hey.
It's my birthday.
It's my birthday.
Bree and Clint's birthday banger.
Oh, if you've been missing this over the last couple of days,
we're ready to put some petrol back in that tank.
Fill her up.
Fill her up and don't go stingy on me.
I want premium.
All right?
None of this E10 BS.
I'll siphon it.
Good.
I know how to do that.
Do you?
No.
We'll talk after the show.
I'll show you in the car park.
Right.
This is where we take people's birthdays and we figure out what was the number one song
on their 16th birthdays
and then we play our favourite one out of the three.
Let's start with you, Nathan.
G'day.
Hello.
How are you?
I'm good.
How are you guys?
We're very well, thank you, Nathan.
I'm keen to do your birthday banger.
What's your birthday?
1st of October, 1990.
All right, Nathan.
You were 16 in 2006.
And on the 1st of October, your 16th birthday, this was number one.
I mean, he's got a sexy back.
It's Justin Timberlake.
You know when a song just takes you to a moment in time?
This was my second year university.
Do you remember this, Nathan? I feel like everyone was wearing fluro
because I'm around the same age as you.
Yeah, definitely. Hey, not a bad one.
Iconic song. One of the biggest ones of that year, I'd say. Perfect.
Alright, let's go to Nathan number two. We've got two Nathans.
G'day, mate.
Hey, how are you going?
Good.
How are you?
Oh, I'm pumped as.
Pumped?
Well, we're pumped that you're here, Nathan.
I know.
I can feel it pumping in me.
Good.
Good.
We'll teach you how to siphon petrol later as well, okay?
Oh, yeah.
We'll just do a round robin of siphoning in the fuel.
Nathan, what's your birthday? 10th of September, okay. Oh, yeah. We'll just do a round robin of siphoning in the fuel. Nathan, what's your birthday?
10th of September, 1995.
All right, Nathan.
You were 16 in 2011.
And on the 10th of September, I can just imagine where you were on your 16th birthday.
And this was number one.
Bit of Gautier and New Zealand's very own.
I'm fully keen on this.
This song was such a vibe.
Like, literally, it was so obsessed.
I like that, Nathan.
You've got good vibes yourself.
You've come in hot, Nathan, and I'm here for it.
In the music video,
how kinky was that music video?
Now we know what Nathan's into.
Love it.
Well, there you go.
Iconic.
Kimbra.
New Zealand's very own.
Very big song.
Global hit.
Lovely to chat to Nathan.
He had a good vibe about it.
Lovely fella.
Let's go to Paige last.
G'day, Paige.
Hi.
How's your Wednesday going?
Yeah, not too bad.
Thank you.
How are you guys?
Yeah, we're pretty good, aren't we, Maddie?
Good, good, good.
It's good, good for a Wednesday.
Good to be back.
Let's do your birthday, Banger Paige.
What's your birthday?
22nd of June, 1995.
Right.
You were 16 also in 2011.
And on the 22nd of June, your 16th birthday, this was number one.
Because you changed the way you kissed me.
Oh, yeah.
Who doesn't remember this at the club?
Maddie McLean, pass me some gum.
I just spotted a hot guy over here.
Remember that one, Paige?
Bit of an example.
Yeah, what a classic.
Absolute classic from example.
Change the way you kiss me.
You would have been such a fiend on the dance floor.
Oh, I was a liability.
Yeah.
Yeah, I got banned from a few places.
I bet you did.
Yeah, for doing death drops.
Still, to this day.
To this day, yeah.
The death drops didn't end well.
Especially when it's in a nightclub
where people have dropped like a thousand drinks on the floor.
Yeah, you rock up ten years later and they're like,
Brie Thomas L, get out!
You're out of here.
Yeah, my just face is on the name and shame board.
I like them all today.
Same.
What are you vibing?
You're the guest.
So you know what?
I'm handing full power. And I don't do this ever. Over are you vibing? You're the guest. So you know what? I'm handing full power.
And I don't do this ever.
Over to you.
And I'm a Libra, and so I'm a terrible decision maker.
But I know what I'm going with today.
You do?
Okay, good.
Which is so rare for me.
I'm going back to my uni days,
and I'm choosing Sexy Back by Justin Timberlake.
You're going back to the sexy back.
I love that.
Nathan, you've won it, big dog.
Woo-hoo-hoo.
Get ready to drop it low.
Get out those Jean Lowrider jeans.
Because Sexy Back is back on ZM.
It's your birthday banger for today on Bree and Clint.
Enjoy this one.
I'm bringing sexy back on Bree and Clint. Enjoy this one. Hey, Maddie McLean has been filling
in and doing a fabulous job
by the way. But keep going.
No, fabulous work and I feel like
you know, we're not the best
people to ask when it comes to
dating because we're both in long term
relationships. Happily. But you know
we both have secret relationships on the side.
So, you know, we can relate that way.
Exactly.
Exactly.
There's a new study that's come out from Bumble and it's talking
about how the pandemic has changed people who are getting back
into the dating scene.
What just made them less fussy?
Well, it's interesting.
Do you want to hear some of the statistics that have come from this?
So apparently it says 29% of Bumble users say living through COVID
has drastically changed what they are looking for in a partner.
That's quite interesting.
That's drastically changed what they want.
So my brother, perpetually single and happily single,
a real bachelor, went through the first lockdown last year.
I've seen your brother.
Anastasia, produce Anastasia.
Might be a bit of you.
Yeah.
She's very happy single though as well.
He's a good looking rooster.
Good looking lad.
Looks a lot like you.
Oh, stop it.
He does.
I got the personality,
he got everything else. But I went through the first lockdown last year and realised,
screw this. I don't want to be alone. Yeah. And so all of a sudden decided he wanted to
settle down and now is happily in a relationship. No way. So it like fast forwarded him into that
point in his life where he wanted someone.
That's so interesting that you say that because I believe it comes
up in these statistics.
It says with three in five, so 57% of users now prioritising
emotional availability.
There you go.
They said people are wanting that way more than a partner's physical appearance.
Great.
That's what they want.
They need the cuddles.
They need the hugs rather than the abs and the muscles.
Perfect.
If Ryan and I ever break up, that suits me to a T.
Yeah.
So that's what people are looking for now.
It also says, which I find this so interesting,
that people are way more keen to sober date.
So people aren't keen to drink on first or second dates anymore.
It's because we've all just been drinking so much inside our own hearts.
Yeah, probably.
And I don't know why that is, but I find that very interesting.
And there's also a term that's coming up a lot where they say a trend in
2022 is the dating trend the power pda people super keen about a lot of pda which i'm not keen
for that i'm i'm not a pda person myself what about you guys i i would happily be oh is this
something in your relationship where you would be keen
but your partner not as keen?
I'm not saying we'd be making out.
Give your boyfriend a big pash down in Victoria Park.
I wouldn't be opposed to a little hand-holding every now and then.
Right, right.
Ryan, absolutely not.
No hand-holding at all.
No way.
Really?
No way.
There you go. Yes, because I wouldn't call hand-holding power PDA. No, absolutely not. No hand-holding at all? No way. Really? No way. There you go.
Yes, because I wouldn't call hand-holding power PDA.
No, probably not.
Having, you know, a bit of a dry rompy-pompy on the –
It was when you were like 11.
On the picnic blanket out in the park, probably.
You know, that's power PDA.
The last one that I'll tell you about is that apparently people just keen
to talk to another person other than their flatmate.
Yeah.
That's what it is.
That's what they're keen for.
That's what it is.
They just want another human in their life.
You have a mouth and you can speak.
I'm keen to go on a date.
Let's do it now.
There you go.
