The ZM Podcast Network Hi everybody, welcome to the Brian Clint Podcast where I'd like to start with a technical question. How much weight do you think you can put in the boot of a station wagon? Well, how big is the station wagon? My station wagon. How much weight? Yeah. I reckon you could put 200 kgs.

Oh yeah, okay. 200 kgs. What do you reckon, Saif? I would have no idea. You can look. It should have it on the sticker inside your car, inside the door. To put in the boot. Because I know the car can carry a few hundred kilos. It can take five people in it. But what's the weight you can put on that?

But because the reason I ask is I picked up a whole lot of soil today, dirt. You put it in the back of your car. Well, I had to. Because we have to click and collect at the moment. So I had to do the drive-through and pick it all up in one go. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Not bare soil. No.

Well, I assumed it was in a plastic bag. In bags. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I didn't think you would be shoveling soil into your bare brick. Well, with your reaction, I thought that's what you thought I'd done. I was like, no, mate. Even still. 300 kilos. I put 300 kilos

of soil in the back of my hand. Oh, that's cool. Yeah, it's my work, it's the work wagon. Anastasia? Fuck you, Anastasia. It's cool to me. I've never heard someone more bored in my life. Sorry, I just like, if I wanted to talk to my mum about this stuff,

I'd give her a ring, you know, like, she literally, on the weekend, I was like, how I wanted to talk to my mum about this stuff, I'd give her a ring, you know? Like, she literally, on the weekend, I was like, how are you? She's like, oh, off to the nursery that she goes to. And it just gave me PTSD from spending hours there as a kid. Well, I'd like to talk to your mum then. Can we get your mum to produce this show? Yeah.

She'll ask you if you wear a mask when you... I fucking hate gardening chat too. Make sure you wear a mask when you're opening and using the soil. My partner tries to do gardening chat with me. I'm just kind of like. Yeah, but you want to reap the benefits of the garden. You're happy to eat the. No, it depends.

Like a veggie garden. You're happy to eat the veggies and the herbs. A veggie garden. Yeah. No, but I took part in that. That's exciting stuff because you're growing stuff that you eat and I like cooking. So that's like exciting

to me circle of life talking yeah the circle of life talking about how much soil you got to spread to make a new garden bed to then put in a planner so then i can go along along the house line that's where it starts that's where it all starts mate you're not putting in i'm at ground level you're not putting it are you putting in a veggie patch? Yeah, I planted some rosemary today. Oh, that's cool. Are you putting in a veggie patch? Oh, no, I just put the rosemary in because it looks pretty. I don't eat it.

I bought six rosemary plants. Guys, I'm cooking a rack of lamb, speaking of rosemary. I was going to say, you know who you should be nicer to? The man with six rosemary plants. Mate, I've got six rosemary plants. It's not a competition. Our rosemary is not growing, though. Usually that stuff goes wild.

That is not a thing. No, it's a thing. Do a pee on it. That is not a thing. You don't have to do it. Get your partner to do it. It's in my backyard. I'm not doing that.

I'll do it. Okay, you can do it this week. We've got lemon trees down the side, and you're meant to pee on your citrus If they're not growing properly That is such a myth That someone has come up with Just to take the piss out of people No, it's not, it's true

It's true, it's true Because they need the nitrogen Watch as world's fastest Indian once Yeah, well that is kind of where I grew up What a good movie That is a great movie I resisted from making heaps of time puns During that Rosemary chat So, you're welcome No, I would have liked that I would heaps of time puns during that Rosemary chat,

so you're welcome. No, I would have liked that. I would have liked a time pun. No, if I can offer you some. Do you guys think I should go just standard rack of lamb or should I crumb the outside with like a Rosemary, panko, lemon zest vibe? It sounds like you've already chosen the second option.

No, I'm just saying. Don't go panko. I reckon the OG can't beat it. Can I offer you some sage advice? What I do want you to get around. That was a stretch. Some mint jelly. Oh, see, I don't know how I feel about mint jelly.

I really don't know how I feel about it. We didn't grow up with that in our family. My mum made her own mint jelly, so we're probably real around it. Where'd you get that mint from? You know what? They grow in the garden, yeah. We've got a big mint plant if you want some. Sorry?

Oh, yeah, no. The mint was an issue growing up because it grew. It basically just grew everywhere and all over all the other herbs. I'm so bored. I'm so bored. I'm so bored. You know what I'm a massive fan of? This will benefit you. This isn't Garden Chat.

You know what I've become recently, like in the last couple of years, a massive fan of but I never really liked it? What's that? Horseradish with my steak. Horseradish sauce? Have you had it? Really? I don't think so.

It's not bad. Oh, my God. You need to get onto it. You would, you of all people, I think it'd be right up your alley. It's kind of like... Salty? No, it's kind of got like a wasabi feel about it. It is true. Kind of like that vibe

of, you know where wasabi hits you? Oh yeah, I know the one that's got a little bite but it's not spicy. But a way less intense version. It goes away quickly. Yeah. I really like it with steak speaking of sauces i had half a bottle of pickle nays on the weekend oh i can't get enough of it i'm addicted to pickle nays pickle nays is what vegans use to basically make everything have flavor yeah it's like i've never heard of it is like big Nance is like rip-off Big Mac sauce. Is that the Cully stuff? Yeah.

So good, eh? It's rip-off Big Mac sauce. It's delicious. It's good. Get into Pickle Nance. I mean, hopefully Nando's doesn't find out. Why? Do they do that?

Oh, no. Because I thought, well, they do Perinase. Peri-Perinase. I love Perinase. Oh, Perinase. Oh, give me some of that. I think I'm a big sauce fan. I find it weird when people don't like...

I'm like the queen. The queen of condiments. My dad's the opposite. He's sauce phobic and he orders a burger, just the patty and cheese, please. Oh, and tomato. He'll have tomato. There are a lot of Kiwi men like that.

They grow up in the whole meat, three-edged... Nah, I actually don't trust people that don't like condiments. He like he doesn't like gravy i'm like what are you doing with your life who like who doesn't like gravy i think he does like great i think he likes gravy he's a bit different yeah do you know what i do find a sauce and aouli in his words people are obviously people that put aouli and everything is quite normal i don't care about that people have put sweet chili in or on everything just like it's delicious but i don't want on not. People have put sweet chilli in or on everything. It's delicious, but I don't want it on steak or pizza. I told you about my flatmate whose stir-fry was just frozen veggies with half a bottle of Trident sweet chilli sauce.

That was his stir-fry mix. And then on rice, and that's dinner. I don't get it. Sweet chilli on cream cheese, that's it for me. Other than that, or like with cheese. Do you know what I had sweet chilli on the other day? Dumplings. Welcome to Food Chat by the way. No, not dumplings.

On a cheese scone. Just on the top. Oh see, no. I've seen people use that as a glaze. Yes, the glaze is key. Nah, give it a go. They're just basing it off a relish anyways. Oh, relish. Don't get me started on a good relish.

How have we not talked about how weird Ben looks without a moustache? Oh, yeah, it's the first of November today and every year Ben shaves his moustache off to start again. It's already started growing back. No, I just can't go too low because it hurts. So I've just gone the lowest of stubble you can go. Sound like my brother. You know, one year I said to my brother, because he's the same,

he always gets pimples if he shaves too low yeah it's gonna hurt and i said to him can you shave down to the skin for my birthday present that's what i want that's a weird well i him and i live together at the time and i think i i asked him like every week can you shave down to your skin so i can see what you actually look like yeah yeah i couldn't remember what he actually looked like. Can you remove all the hair on your body and show me from my birthday? Sorry, I took it too far. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You took a nice moment and I actually had just gone through a breakup

and I was having like – Did he do it for you? And I think only because I'd cried that day, which was my birthday. That's the way to get it done. It was actually a horrific birthday because one of my best friends stabbed me in the back and I'd been through a breakup and my brother came out and he'd shaved and I was like, oh, that's so sweet.

Give me a present. That's the only reason because I was crying. He's like, I'm still not getting you a present. Yeah, my brother never gets me a present. Yeah, is that a universal brother thing? Yeah, I think it is. You can see Ben's bald face on his Instagram for the next probably 12 hours if you want to see him without a moustache.

You can see Clint's gooch in about 15 minutes. I'm going to post that picture. And, Stasia, remember we talked about it? Do you want to know? Just before we go, this is terrifying. Do we want to know? No, no. This is a terrifying Do we want to know? I found something out about my gooch Did you?

Not so much my gooch In our bath This is just a quick one I want you to check this if you have one of these In our bath, we've got one of those plugs that you leave in And you turn the little knob on the side of the bath And it goes up and down So the dome on that Is what you call convex leave in, and you turn the little knob on the side of the bath, and it goes up and down. You know, something like that in the hand basin sometimes?

Yeah. So the dome on that is what you call convex. You hit your gooch. No. And it's stainless steel. You pierced your gooch. No. But I realise when I stand over it, if I look at that plug,

it shows me like a mirror straight up into my gooch. You've never got a hand mirror and had a look up there? God, no. I can't think of anything I want to see less. It's important you do that. I've never got a hand mirror and had a look up there? God, no. I can't think of anything I want to see less. It's important you do that. I've never done that. Why would you want to do that? No, it's actually important.

For you it is, not for me. No, it is important for you. My gooch should never see the light of day. You should have a look. What if you need to check for hemorrhoids? Well, I'd know. You've got to look at your butthole. It's a field test.

You know, speaking of buttholes, I had to touch my dog's butthole intently over the weekend. Intently? Intently? Intricately. I miss food chat. Stick with intently. Intricately. We thought, because I don't... Intricately suggests lots of parts to his butthole. Intricately?

Intensely? Intensely? Intimately. On purpose? Intimately. Intimately is the word. Internally.ally No not internally I didn't put my finger in So for people who don't have a dog They might know this They might not

But some dogs Oh did you have to milk the poo glands? It's called the anal gland And sometimes you have to milk the anal glands of a dog Because they get full And not all dogs it happens to But usually you can tell if they're rubbing their butt on the ground Sell the dog Or they get full and not all dogs it happens to but usually you can tell if they're rubbing their butt on the ground or they smell anyway Whitney hasn't been doing any of that but

Anyway, I gloved up, put a glove on. Oh, that's good you put a glove on. Yeah, well, I wasn't going to not put a glove on. And I thought Whitney was going to go berserk. I thought she was like, anyway, she was so calm.

I think she actually liked it. Oh, no, you've got a freaky dinky. Anyway, I felt around. The anal glands were empty, so we're all good. It was just her farting. I would have. This is what you do for your dogs. Yeah. I wouldn't do that for a dog.

Question number one. It's officially November. That's right. Look at the calendar. It's officially November. And we've been in lockdown since August. Soon it will be Christmas. What month is Easter in?

Lady. Yes, Cherie. April. April is correct. That's a harder question because it moves all over every year. But it doesn't move out of April. Right. Well, not that hard of a question then.

See, I didn't know that. I'm always like, when's Easter again? It moves around by seven days. Yeah, right. Yeah. Question number two, one to the ladies. It's finals week on Celebrity Treasure Island. Name one celebrity

that has competed in this season. Freddie. Yes, Jason. Chris Parker. Chris Parker is correct. Still in the competition. I think we've got

six competitors left tonight. Yeah, cool. And let me just say one word to describe tonight's episode. Ruthless. Really? Oh my God.

There's some backstabbing going on? It is the most, if you watch any episode of this season, tonight is the one to watch because there is tears, there is people stabbing each other in the back, there's arguments, it's all kinds of stuff. All right, one apiece. Question number three. Kim Kardashian is rumoured to be dating Pete Davidson.

What show is he most famous for? Is it A, South Park, B, 8 Out of 10 Cats, or C, Saturday Night Live? Tradie. Lady. Yes, Jason. Saturday Night Live? It is SNL.

Nice work, two to the tradies, one to the ladies. You need this one here, Cherie. Question number four. Controversial scenes today as a bat has been named New Zealand's Bird of the Year. Which musician had the song Bat Out of Hell? Freddie. Yes, Jason, for the win. Meatloaf.

It is correct. How good's Meatloaf, by the way? A bat got named bird of the year. It's a weird year, isn't it? What's a bat ever done to you? Oh, wait, don't answer that. Bats are so gross. I just hate bats.

And it's bird of the year. It's not bat of the year. Bad room read, bat. Hey, Jase, 50 bucks. Thanks to KFC coming your way. Congratulations. Yeah, beauty. Thanks, guys., 50 bucks. Thanks to KFC coming your way. Congratulations. Yeah, beauty. Thanks, guys.

Bree and Clint. Look, our favourite topic on this show isn't the Kardashians, but it's one of the biggest stories today because reports out the rumour mill is swirling that Kim Kardashian has been seen with SNL star Pete Davidson. Mr Rebound. Over the weekend. Yeah. Obviously, yeah, you know who Pete Davidson. Mr. Rebound. Over the weekend. Yeah.

Yeah. Obviously, yeah, you know who Pete Davidson is. He used to date Ariana Grande. Yes. He had some other really high-profile girlfriends too, right? Yeah, so I looked it up. His dating history, he has dated some very attractive women. So he dated, obviously, Ariana Grande for a long time.

He then had a fling with Kate Beckinsale. Right, yes. He then dated actress Margaret Qualley. And for people who have been watching the show Made, which is like one of the number one shows on Netflix, she's the main actress in that show. And then he also dated Kaya Gerber, which is Cindy Crawford's daughter. Okay, yeah.

And also Phoebe Denver. She's the star of Bridgerton. Oh, okay. Yeah, so he's done a lot of dating. And he's only 27. Yeah. He was engaged to Ariana Grande, right? I think they were.

Yeah, I think they were. But anyway, reports now that him and Kim Kardashian have been seen holding hands on a log ride. I've seen. At an amusement park. He's 27. She's 41. Yeah.

They're saying we're just friends hanging out. I've gone and had a look at the pictures and it looks like a couple's event. It does look very couple-y. Because Kourtney's there with her new fiance,, Travis Barker from Blink-182, and everyone looks like they're coupled up kind of thing. Yeah. And if he's not, what's he doing there? Well, you know what's interesting is obviously

he met Ariana Grande on the set of SNL. Yeah. And then Kim has recently done stuff on SNL, which in one scene she played Princess Jasmine, he played Aladdin, and they had a kiss on the magic carpet. Yeah. I tend to think being on SNL is a gateway drug to Pete Davidson. That's what I think is happening here.

That's how he gets you. You know what? I say good on her because she's got to rebound. She's got to get out of there. I mean, it could be the real thing, but she's had a long marriage to Kanye, which can't have been easy. And him, who wouldn't date Kim Kardashian if they got the opportunity? You know?

Yeah. If you're young and single and Kim Kardashian's like, do you want to go on the log flume with me and hold hands? You'd be like, um, yep. She does have a hundred kids though, so you have to think about that. She comes with a little bit of baggage, mind the pun. Well, just add him to the pile. Yeah.

He could be the oldest kid. Like, it's interesting because I've seen stuff out today where people are talking about, you know, like, oh, what's the appeal about Pete Davidson? Why, you know, he's so many celebrities and so many incredibly attractive women seem to be flocking to Pete Davidson. What do you think the appeal is?

Do you find him attractive? I don't find him unattractive. I wouldn't look at him and swoon over him, but I think his personality is what it is, absolutely. I find his personality quite attractive. He's incredibly intelligent. Anyone who's on SNL is incredibly intelligent. And I think he's also quite sweet.

He's quite kind and sweet but then has the kind of aura of a bad boy. He doesn't take himself too seriously. In fact he takes himself the least seriously. A lot of his jokes are about growing up without a dad because his dad

died in 9-11. I know. It's quite dark. Not funny at all when you talk about it like that. But it's one of the core parts of his comedy, you know? But when I think about him, I think he'd be the type to be like, oh, my God, do you want to do face masks this Friday? Like I feel like he would be that type of guy. And Kim would say, yes, I do. I actually produce a line of face masks.

Should we do one of mine? Girls love that type of guy. Yeah. Like guys that are really comfortable in their masculinity and they love doing all that girly stuff. My wife doesn't like it because I keep using all their face masks. No, I love that. I find it so attractive.

Like I love guys like that. I thought we could do something this afternoon where I wanted to ask people who their unconventional celebrity crush is. Like, you know, not your typical Brad Pitts or, you know, the same people that people pick over and over again because they're uber attractive. Right. Like, who's your unconventional celebrity crush? Okay.

Do you have one? I'm trying to think. Dan Carter's not. He's not unconventional, eh? No, definitely not. You've missed the point. You've missed the point completely. You ever think about it in the break? Yeah. And I want people to text us on 9696. Who's your unconventional celebrity crush? Or you can call us right now on 0800-DIALS-IT-IT.

Maybe it's Pete Davidson. Oh, yeah. You can choose him. Oh, he's taken now. Yeah. Maybe go for someone available. You can dream. Yeah. Maybe it's Kim Kardashian. Oh, no, I've You can choose him. Oh, he's taken now. Yeah. Maybe go for someone available. You can dream. Yeah.

Maybe it's Kim Kardashian. Oh, no, I've got it wrong again. No, you've got it wrong. Yeah, right. Not on the money. Brianne Clint. Pete Davidson from SNL, formerly dating Ariana Grande, has been rumoured to be dating now Kim Kardashian

after they were photographed together holding hands. He's a man who bets. Well, it's always been said he bets above his average as far as the girls he dates, doesn't he? It has been said about him, but there's some sort of a pehile, some sort of aura that he gives off where the ladies love him. Yeah. And we want to know on 0800DIALZN. Especially the ladies who are recently broken up.

Yeah, he does love dating those ones um who um who's your unconventional celebrity crush you never asked me oh who's your unconventional absolutely 100 magda zabensky yeah i find her attractive she's so funny what about adele but see she's moved out out of that category now because she's just downright attractive. Has she become conventional? Gordon Ramsay does it for me. Is he unconventional?

Because I was going to say Nigella is mine. No, she's so hot. Yeah, but so is Gordon Ramsay. What's not hot about Gordon Ramsay? Well, I don't know. A man's got size 17 feet. What's not hot about Gordon Ramsay? I don't look at someone's feet and go, what size are they, 15?

I'm attracted. Well, maybe you should. Maybe you'd understand. I feel like that'd be a bad idea. Let's ask some people for some crushes. Brooke's here. Hi, Brooke. G'day, Brooke.

Kia ora. Who's your unconventional celeb crush, mate? Mate, it would have to be Paddy Gower. We are getting so many texts about Paddy Gower. Lots of Paddy Gower. He is getting so many texts about Paddy Gower. Lots of Paddy Gower. He is catnip for the ladies and the fellas. What do you love about Paddy so much? I reckon it's his charisma, his little smirk, and his, okay,

the one thing, my tipping point was the video when he was in the library. This is the FN News video. My poor partner. Yeah. He's also very clever, Paddy Gower, and very funny as well. I think people love him because he's just honest and real. But you're right. Not many people pick a political correspondent as their crush, right?

It's unconventional. True. Very true. Let's talk to Anonymous. Hi, Anonymous. Hi, Anonymous. Hello. Who would be your unconventional celebrity crush?

Ron Weasley. Not Rupert Grint. Ron Weasley. Oh, wait. So not the guy who plays Ron Weasley. No. You want to be in a relationship with Ron Weasley from Harry Potter. How far does this infatuation go in your life?

Oh, it's well known. Like, I've recently gotten married and my friends all know that I love Ron Weasley and it was brought up multiple times. And has your partner ever, you know, done something special? Maybe put on a red wig and a cloak? Wait, did you marry a red-headed man?

No. That'd be taking it a bit far. I always said that if our next child is a ginger, that we're calling him Ron. Cute. I love the name Ron for a guy. Very cute.

Okay, Anonymous. Interesting you weren't willing to put your name to this crush, by the way. Yeah. Are you embarrassed? No, I've got plenty of friends that listen, and I know they'll just rip me out for it. They'll probably know it's you, Anonymous, by the sounds of how much you talk about it.

Okay, thank you, Anonymous. April's here. Hi, April. Hi, April. Afternoon, guys. How are you? Good, mate. Who's your unconventional celebrity crush?

Okay, what is it about Mr. Bean that really gets you hot under the collar? Oh, yeah. Right? That crush started when I was like eight. Okay. What is it about Mr. Bean that really gets you hot under the collar? I think it's just, he's just so funny. And those eyebrows.

Oh, my God. You love a bushy eyebrow. Oh, yeah. That's manly. Are you like anonymous? You're attracted to Mr. Bean, but not Rowan Atkinson? Oh, no. Johnny English.

Oh. You know, April, did you know he's got like one of the highest IQs like ever? It's like 180 something. That just makes him even hotter. I know. He's an actual genius, that man. Also, he has one of the world's most expensive car

collections too. Yeah. Loves cars. I don't even know if he owns a yellow Mini. I don't know if he even bothered to put that in the collection. April, like late at night sometimes you just go, I might put on Mr. Yeah. Loves cars. I don't even know if he owns a yellow Mini. I don't know if he even bothered to put that in the collection. April, like late at night sometimes you just go, I might put on Mr Bean. Oh yeah. Light a candle and just snuggle in for the night. Yeah, that's

my Friday night. Yeah, well don't get April too excited. It's only a Monday. Okay, thanks April. Fascinating. Yeah, there's quite a few people. Everyone's different. I was taking it as a compliment at first. Quite a few people are saying that I'm their unconventional celebrity crush. And I was like, oh, that's nice. And then I realised, I was like, wait a minute.

You're the unconventional bit. Wait a minute. Why can't I just be your celebrity crush? Why are you in the Mr. Bean category? Probably all the farts and stuff, maybe. Bree and Clint. But first, the latest. We covered

this story on Friday with Dean as it was breaking. We're keen to get the latest on Zayn Malik. Dean. Hi, guys. Yeah, look, I do have some pretty troubling news. Zayn, well, first of all, he's been dropped from his record label. That has come out since we spoke last.

As well as that, more details of the actual altercation, alleged altercation. I don't even know if it's alleged anymore because he's pleaded no contest. So I guess he is the one saying it's not alleged. That's a typical term for you. Here's the deal. So, you know, obviously it was with his wife,

lover, baby mama's mother, Yolanda Hadid, of course, the mother of Gigi. And, you know, basically, like, all of this, a huge altercation went down. Gigi was out of town. The security guard was there. Zayn yelled abusive words at Yolanda, shoved her, according to the report,

that he has not contested. And he will now undergo anger management classes and a domestic violence supervision program. He's on a year probation, 360-day probation, and he did not contest any of the allegations. So what does that mean now? Well, he has been living out on this farm, right?

So it's really random. They're in Pennsylvania. They're on a farm, an actual farm with Gigi. She travels a lot for her modelling, obviously. And people say that he's really kind of like just sitting around doing a lot of cannabis. That's what it said her modelling, obviously. And people say that he's really kind of like just sitting around doing a lot of cannabis. That's what it said.

A lot of the reports are saying that. And that is one of the concerns the record label had a while ago. And this was the final nail in the coffin. So what's next? What will become of Zayn? I don't know. Maybe he'll turn his life around. Pretty sad, though.

Career and wife. Any more news on him and Gigi? Has this all obviously had stuff to do with their breakup? Yeah, great question. I don't change it to what we've been told, which is that they are actually over. You know, maybe it will look differently once he's done some of these courses that he's committed to doing

and things like that. Maybe it will change. But for now, they are still over. Yeah, wow. That's a major drop from the record label, possibly broken up with his partner and everything that goes along with it. Not a good story, but that's the latest.

Live out of Los Angeles with our Hollywood correspondent, Dean McCarthy. Brian Clint. ZM's $50,000 Secret Sound. Season 10. It's thanks to our mates at Neon. And at the end of this Secret Sound guest, we've got a Neon competition that we want you to be a part of.

We'll tell you about that very shortly. But first, Sunky Baella is here. Hi, Sunky Baella. Hi, Ella. Hello, Clint and Bree. Bree and Clint. That sounded weird. You switched us around with the old switcheroo.

How was your 21st birthday? Oh, it was lovely. Had a good day, even though it was lockdown. It was good. What did you get? What did you get for gifts? What did I get? Oh, this card game called Exploding Kittens. Highly recommend playing it. I've played that game before. It's quite fun. It's fun! Yeah. Is that a clue? Is this

the sound of an exploding kitten? Well, who knows? Let's meet Jasmine. She's here to take your $50,000. We've reached the ultimate jackpot. Hi, Jasmine. Hi, Jazz. Hi.

You're on, Jazz. You're on. Oh, I love this. It's a big deal, mate. Honestly, you are so close to $50,000 right now. You can see it. Yeah. All you need is the correct guess.

Have you been looking at the clues? Yes. I've been looking every night for my sister. Did you watch the video that Soundkeeper Ella released last week? Of course I have. Did you see something in there and that prompted an idea or have you had the sound in your head and then you saw it in the video? Well, all the clues

in that video helped prompt this idea. Okay, great. Sounds cohesive. Sounds like you've done your research. Jasmine, tell Soundkeeper Ella what you think this here, Zedim's $50,000 secret sound is. Okay.

So what I think it is, is I think it's the sound of a needle going onto a vinyl record. Oh. Yeah, where it like lowers down and touches the vinyl. Yeah. Jazz, when I saw the video,

my eye was drawn to the copy of Lorde's Solar Power on vinyl that Sakiy Bella has. Oh, it's a great album. And the Harry Styles vinyl. Oh, that was in there too. Yep. Yeah, and she made a reference to it on her story this morning to listen to Harry Styles.

You could be on the money here, Jazz. She's paying attention. Yeah. Jazz, do you have one at home? Have you tested the sound out yourself? Yes, I have one at home. Okay. So you've done your research there with the clothes and with the sound at home.

Well, we'll lock in your guess one last time. Do you want to say it? Yes. A vinyl needle playing a record. Wow. Jazz. Up and record. Wow, Jazz. Up and down. Jazz, that is not the secret sound. Jazz.

Stingbuzz, your one would hurt, Jazz, because you were there in your mind. I could hear it. I know. And you know what, Jazz? I feel like we're quite lucky because I feel like you'd be the type of person who'd celebrate very vocally and the speakers might not have been able to hear it. I'll keep trying.

Yeah, you keep trying, Jazz. Good on you, mate. Absolutely, mate. Keep trying. That's The Secret Sound with Shunky Brella. She's back at 5 o'clock. Thank you, Ella. All good.

Maybe you're in this situation right now and with holidays coming up, maybe you don't have to worry about it because, well, especially if you're in Auckland. But there's a Reddit thread that's going a bit viral at the moment and it's about this guy who thinks his family is being really unfair. Okay. So apparently he dated this girl. He calls her Sarah, but I think that's a fake name, and said that they dated for a fairly long time, I think over three years.

Yeah. They were engaged. Oh long time, I think over three years. Yeah. They were engaged. Oh, whoa, okay. But at one point he had to break it off with her and he broke up with her. Okay. And I believe it's because he found out she'd been cheating. I think that's the story. Oh, okay.

So anyway, he rocks up to Thanksgiving lunch, which is obviously a big thing they do over in the States. And he rocks up to his family home and he's there for Thanksgiving lunch and he turns around and here's his ex-fiancee, Sarah, sitting at his family's dinner table. At his family? Yes. After they've broken up.

He says to his mum, what the hell is my ex-fiancé doing here? Yeah. And that's when the mum and the rest of the family said that they love Sarah and that they're still very close with her and they want her to come to family gatherings. Ouch, mum. Ouch.

I need you to be on my side in this situation. Isn't that awkward? Yeah. Even more awkward if they know why they broke up. Yeah, it doesn't say. Because you do get that after three years. That's three Christmases and three Thanksgivings. She would be part of the family.

Yeah. But, you've got to side with your actual son first. It's quite interesting that she decided to go as well. I didn't even think about that one. You know, like if that was me, I'd probably be like, I'm so flattered. Thank you so much for the invite. Yeah.

But I feel like, you know, I don't want to overstep. Do you think she wants to get back? Do you reckon she wants to get back with him and she thinks the family route is the way to go? Yeah, maybe. Because otherwise, what's the point? You're just going, oh, they're my family too. They're not your family.

They were going to be your family, but that's over now. It's quite interesting when these situations happen because you're right, when you date someone for a long time, they are heavily integrated into your world. They become friends with your friends. They become friends and like family to your family and you the same to their family. And it's a really difficult thing when you've been dating

for a long period of time because you kind of not just lose that person, you lose all the connections you made surrounding that person. There's two breakups. You have to grieve the relationship and the family that you had. Because you might look at them as like your second parents or you might actually enjoy them more than your own parents. One of my favourite things about dating people is getting to know their family and feeling like you have a second

lot of parents because I mean how good. I wonder who's expecting this at Christmas. Like who's had a breakup and gone but they know that their parents are going to invite their ex along to Christmas. Yeah I want to know from people, are your friends or family still really good friends or do they hang out with one of your exes or exes? Not by your choice.

You weren't like, hey, can you make sure that so-and-so comes to Christmas? Maybe you're not that cool with it, but it still happens. Yeah. Do they just hang out with them on the regular and then they're like, nah, I'm still friends with this person just because you kicked them to the curb doesn't mean I have to. Do you feel like your friends and family like your ex more than they

like you? Do they wish they got that person in the breakup? That happens. Sometimes you date someone who's better than you. These things happen. Oh, $800 at M or you can text us on 9696. Are your friends and family still friends with your ex?

Call us, text us right now. You can remain anonymous. Or maybe it's you. Maybe you're still getting in there on Christmas. Maybe it's you. Just for the food. Bree and Clint. Right now we're talking about whether or not your friends or family

are still friends with one of your exes. Because it does happen. You're integrated like so much into each other's lives that you get to know these people. You form relationships and bonds. And sometimes, you know, you can't say goodbye to all of those relationships and they're happy to keep you in their life. You know what I'd be fascinated to know about is if you had a partner

for years, whatever, and they used to come around all the time and mum loves them and your partner would go around there and hang out without you, then you break up, mum's like, oh, so-and-so's got to keep coming over there, even to the point after you get a new partner and mum's still getting the old partner around. That's what I mean. My mum still talks to some of my exes.

Oh, yeah? Yeah. She's like, oh, I talked to such and such the other day. And I was like, what about? She goes, just to catch up. Is that why you moved over here? Got too awkward? No.

Too many exes. No, I like it. It means that, you know, my mum's just like that. She's very welcoming. All right, let's talk to some people. Nick's here. Hi, Nick. Hi, Nick.

How's it going? Good, thanks. Are your friends and family still friends with one of your exes? Yeah, I'm still friends with the ex's family. Oh, you are? Oh, it's you? Okay. Yeah, it's me.

Does your ex want you in there? We're still friendly. Yeah. Well, that's good. And when you say friends, like when you're still friends, like what are you, are you going to family barbecues? Like what are you attending? Uh, no, I don't really see anything that she's at, but like I still help her old man out around the property

when I can sort of thing. How do they introduce you to people when other people are over? Do they go, hey, this is Nick. He's our daughter's ex. Well, I kind of know most of the people now because we've been together so long. Yeah, right. We don't get introduced anymore. Yeah, right. And Nick, you guys obviously ended on good terms though. Yeah, we did. How long was the relationship? A bit over eight years. Oh, yeah. Geez, you're like a second son.

You'd have a key to the house. You'd have your own bedroom by this stage, wouldn't you? Yeah, I laugh that I'm the favourite son with them now. Nice, Nick. That's good, Nick. Let's talk to Asha. Kia ora, Asha. Hi, Asha. Hey, how are you?

Good, thanks. It's you that you're still friends with some of your ex's family. Yeah, my ex's mum and I still have dinner once a month. Are you serious? How long has it been since you broke up with your ex? 10 to 11 years. And you have dinner with his mum at least once a month? Yeah.

That's adorable. Do you feel like your real relationship was with your ex's mum and not your partner? Well, when we broke up, he was getting mad that we're still catching up, and she told her son that I'm her friend now, and so we can't take anything from each other. Wow. Can I ask, Asha, do you ever discuss him at these dinners,

or you and the mum are just friends and you talk about everything else? We talk about everything, but obviously it always comes back to just like checking in to see how he's going or how I'm going and all that sort of stuff, because she's obviously getting my side of things. It's been 11 years. Have you moved on? Do you have a new relationship?

Yeah. Are you married? No, not married. Right. If you ever got married, would you invite his mum to your wedding? That would be a possibility. Imagine if she bought him as the plus one. That'd be fucking phenomenal.

Whoa. Okay. Asha. Asha. Asha. We're putting you in the naughty corner, okay? Thank you for calling. Awesome.

Thank you. See ya, Asha. Thanks, Thank you. See you, Asher. Thanks, Asher. I mean, it would be. It would be, but you don't have to say it on the radio. But sometimes there's no other word to describe it. Keeping up to date with the news just became a little easier. As it heralds new podcasts,

Text us on 9696 what's the most lavish thing you've bought your animal? There's a story out today about a woman who says that she has spent close to $250,000 on her pets.

$250,000? her pets. $250,000? She said, you know, my pets are like my children. Her name is Camilla and she has two cats, a dog and a budgie. Yeah, good for you that they're a bit like your children. I'm sorry, my mistake. Three cats and a dog. There's no budgie. I've got actual children and I haven't spent quarter of a bit like your children. I'm sorry. My mistake. Three cats and a dog. There's no budgie. I've got actual children and I haven't spent quarter of a million dollars on them.

That's out of control. How do you even do that? Maybe the dog's really old. Anyway, so she goes into detail about where she spends her money. So she said usually for their dinners, like she spends way more on groceries, like paying for what gourmet dinners she's going to whip up for them. She had usually about $500 a week. A week?

On their dinners. How about this person, by the way? Is she like an heiress or something? She's actually a model on OnlyFans. Is she? Yeah, she earns quite good money and she said, they're like my children so I spend it on them. Well, good on her then.

She said she talks about how much she paid for each pet, how much she pays. She gets them groomed a lot and then she said she's also spent a ton of money on certain like scratching poles and other bedding and that kind of thing. You know what she feeds them? Yeah. She said she feeds them delicate cuts of beef liver, chicken hearts,

duck liver, mussels, Greek yogurt. These animals are going to get gout with that diet, by the way. Scratching poles doesn't equal a quarter of a million dollars. I sold one of those on Trade Me last week for $10. These are customised ones. She also bought two treadmills for the pets so they can go running on the treadmill when it's raining outside. Someone's texted in to say they spent $250 on a memory foam mattress for their pet.

Stop it. It says, for my girl, I also buy her smoked salmon. She's the best dog. Oh, that's cute. A memory foam mattress for a dog? I'd probably buy that for my dog, Whitney. Don't send Bree the link. Yeah, send me the link.

Do not send Bree the link. Send me the link. I feel like Whitney would love that, and then she can not sleep on our bed. Right. Someone said, I spend a fortune on my boy. I just ordered a $150 gift basket for his birthday. It has over 50 bandanas to match his 20 harnesses and leads. Cute.

Hey, you know what? Whatever makes you happy. I'm all for it. If it makes you happy, you're not happy. So long as you're not neglecting your real kids by spending all this money on your pets, then you'll be fine. Yeah, and also, can I come over and have what your pets are having for dinner? Bree and Clint.

ZM's $50,000 Secret Sound. Season 10. All right, here we go, everybody. Another guest at the Secret Sound. Soundkeeper Ella is here. Hi, Ella. Hi, Ella. Hey, I've noticed something, and I'm wondering if you can confirm this.

Is it fair, because you post a lot of content around the secret sound is it fair to say that most of your content goes to TikTok first? So if people want to know what's going on and be as updated as possible they should be on the ZM online TikTok account? Yeah I'd say so. I mean

either that or the ZM secret sound Instagram account. Both of those is where you'll see the clues and the jackpots and everything. And I mean, I post a lot of clues on my TikTok, at Bree Thomas L, if you want to jump over and just look at mine as well. Oh, yeah. So just heads up. What are your clues for?

Oh, just general life clues. Yeah, right. And I sometimes post stuff about the secret sound. Absolutely. I don't say that I am. Yeah. Oh, wow. It's definitely in there. Ella and I have talked about it.

Yours are more of a cry for help than a clue, aren't they? Yeah, well, you know, it depends how you interpret the clue. Well, 50 grand is up for grabs. It could be given away right now if Crystal knows what the sound is. Hey, Crystal. Hi, Crystal. Hi, how's it going? Good, thanks.

Are you keen to have a guess? I'm so, so going? Good, thanks. Are you keen to have a guess? I'm so, so keen. Well, we're keen for you to have a guess. Have you been playing from the start, Crystal? I joined in like last week. Oh, good. Okay, so you're a bit of a newcomer. Yeah.

That's fine. We welcome everyone. That means you haven't had the sound going round and around your head for a month like everybody else has. Maybe fresh ears will help. What do you think this? Sorry, that's why I kind of came in late. Yeah, it's a tactic. Not a bad tactic.

Yeah, okay, well, what do you think this? Unless it goes early and you never get a chance to have a guess. What do you think that is, Crystal? What's the secret sound? I think it may be the toaster leaves are popping. The toaster? Let's hear it again. The toast coming up at the end of its toast cycle.

Is that what you mean, Crystal? Like, you know, on the side of a toaster that you push for your toast to go down. Yeah. I think it's maybe lightly tapping it and then hearing it come back up. Oh, are you making the noise there at home? Oh, my God. Wait, put the phone. Can you put the phone right next to it?

Oh! Oh, my God! Crystal, at first I was like, it's an okay guess. Now I'm like, this is the best guess we've had so far. So let's do it. Oh, Ella, she's coming to you. Damn, Crystal. Quick question.

Did you have this guess before Friday's Clue where the sound is actually in the video? No. No? No, I was thinking more music-based. Right. A lot of people have guessed music stuff lately, haven't they, Soundkeep Ella?

Yes, they have. So you've gone down a different lane, Brinklyn. They're convinced, it sounds like. Can I ask you a question, Ella? Yes they have. So you've gone down a different lane Brinklyn. They're convinced it sounds like. Can I ask you a question Ella? Go on. Is there a toaster in that video? There's a lot of stuff in that video. I'm pretty sure there is. Is everything you and your mum and your sister's own in the video

but is there a toaster in there? There is. I rated the kitchen in the video. So you're confirming that there is a toaster in the video. I'll confirm that yep but now I'm going to confirm whether that's correct the video. So you're confirming that there is a toaster in the video. I'll confirm that, yep. But now I'm going to confirm whether that's correct or not. Crystal. I want to hear Crystal's one again.

Crystal, do the toaster again. That's all it has to be. That's all it has to be. I mean, it sounds pretty similar. Sorry, back to what you were doing, Sanky Bella. That's okay. No, you're good. You're good.

Well, $50,000 is a life-changing amount of money. And no other radio station is giving this away at the moment. But it's not the secret sound crystal. It's still staying here. Your life does not get changed today, Crystal. That's all good. Good luck to the next person. And ironically, it's back to toast for dinner, I guess.

Crystal, I was convinced. I thought you did a fantastic job. And you've only been playing for a week. Imagine what you could have been doing if you were playing for two weeks. So we might hear from you next week. It's still up for grabs, and that video is up. If you want to watch it, ZM Online, Instagram, TikTok, and the ZM Secret Sound Instagram account as well.

Enjoy your evening off, Ella, and we'll catch you back at 7am for another Secret Sound guest tomorrow. Bye. See ya. Up next on the show we want to ask you about big secret purchases that you've made. Mainly

that you've kept from your partner. And I feel like quite relevant at the moment in lockdowns there's people making big purchases. Yeah the hard bit is avoiding getting your partner to not see the courier driver as they come up the driveway if they're working from home. That's why you talk to your neighbour,

cross the fence, you say, can I get this delivered to your house and I'll come pick it up. Someone's thought about it. Okay, we'll talk about that next. The Secret Sound is brought to you by Neon. You can get a Kiwi streaming service and get great value all on Neon and it's back tomorrow. I was having a look at the Herald

this morning and I saw this headline and it said, Ask the experts, can money disputes between couples ever be resolved? Ooh, heavy. And essentially it was about this one woman who was like, you know, I'm in a relationship and me personally, I like to spend a bit more on, you know, lavish things or not lavish but like, you know, I like to spend my money a bit more. Treat yourself. And my husband, he's really frugal and he doesn't like to spend any money

and so I find it's just a bit of a roadblock in our relationship. Is there a way to work past these things? Right. Which made me think about certain because, I mean, everyone's different and money is such a big thing, especially when you get to that point in your relationship where you discuss if you're going to pull your money together, if you're going to buy a house together, all that stuff. It gets quite, you know, difficult sometimes if you're with someone

who is very different to you. Yeah, oh, yeah. You know, it can cause quite a lot of issues in your relationship. If you're with someone who, what's the polite way to say it, is a tight ass, it can cause a lot of friction. And I thought, what would I do in that situation? I'd probably buy it anyway and hide it. Have you?

No, I don't think I've ever done that in a relationship. I know my mum's done it. Oh, yeah, we've talked to your dad about that. You know, I mean, they've been in a relationship for 40 years. My mum has definitely and then what she does is she kind of slowly integrates it into the house. Yeah. And like it just kind of always was there.

And then if that doesn't work, when my dad asks her, to the house and like it just kind of always was there. And then if that doesn't work, when my dad asks her, hey, how much was that thing? She lies about it and says it was way cheaper and because my dad is a farmer, he has no idea what things cost anymore. So he just believes that a pair of, you know, Manolo Blahnik shoes cost 50 bucks. Your mum does not have Manolo Blahnik shoes on the farm. It was the only example I could think of.

Because I like the idea of your mum going out there and rubbing them around in the dirt for a bit so she can put them back in the house and go, those, oh, I've had those for ages. Yeah, long time, long time. And, you know, my mum is so stealthy that she goes around to us kids, like when we all used to still be at home, she'd be like,

right, I've bought this. This is how much it costs, but this is how much we're telling your father it costs. Did you ever extort her for it and go, what's in it for me? Well, then she would do the same thing for us. Like when she would take us shoe shopping, she'd go, okay, what shoes do you want for school? And we'd go, okay, I want these. She goes, right, this is your dad's price.

Yeah, right. The real price and the dad price. Absolutely. I like the relationships where you hear the partner weaponise it and he goes, hey, that thing you're wearing, that's new. How much did that cost? And then you turn around and go, this is not

new. I've had this for ages. You don't pay any attention to me. I wore this to your birthday last year. When in actual fact you just got it off the iconic. Got out of that. I thought we could ask this afternoon because I feel like people are buying things and especially

in the last 18 months because of COVID people are buying stuff. People are doing retail therapy. Yeah. What big purchase have you bought that your partner didn't know about? Maybe they know about it now because they found out, but what big purchase, big decision did you make behind your partner's back? We talked to someone last year who had a secret motorbike

that their partner didn't know about. Stored it at his mate's place. Yeah. Every day he'd leave for work, he'd drive his car to his mate's place and then hop out of his car, park the car, put his bike gears on and drive the bike to work. A lot of admin. Yeah, absolutely a lot of admin.

Yeah. But if you love it. You know what you do in that situation? If you want the motorbike, you ask the wife, what do you really want? And then you buy that for her and then you can buy the motorbike. Yeah, right. Expensive habits.

Yeah. But let's get them right. Expensive habits. Yeah. But let's get them happening. Let us know this afternoon. We want to know the purchase, the big one, that you got without your partner knowing about. That's right. Was it a secret? You can remain anonymous.

Call us now, 0800-DIAL-ZM or text us on 9696. Let's just get it all out in the open. I mean, we've all got good relationships with open communication. We should be able to tell each other the big purchases that we've made and not keep it a secret. I just feel like you're targeting me. I've got nothing to hide. I've got nothing to hide.

What about that new car that you bought? I've got nothing to hide. And that golf cart you said you just bought for fun. Golf cart? Yeah. Why would I buy a golf cart you said you just bought for fun. Golf cart? Yeah. Why would I buy a golf cart? Like an ATV. You know, off-roading.

Yeah, no. The problem with any of the purchases I would want to make is they all need to go in the house. It's like speakers and stuff. So if I buy these things in secret, I can't enjoy them. It's fine. Just buy camouflage versions of them. They come in camouflage colour.

It'll be great. We're asking you this afternoon on 0800DIALS.M, what's the big purchase you heed from your partner? Not everybody's willing to come clean. This first person wants to be anonymous. Hello, anonymous. Hi, anonymous. Hi, how are you?

Good, thanks. Do you do this with your partner, hide purchases? I don't hide them, but I've developed this trait where everything that I purchase is about 50% less than what it actually is. Everything's on sale. You do the same thing as my mum. Yeah, so everything's on sale, but also a lot of people

give away brand new things on Marketplace. They do not. They do not. If your partner falls for that, then he deserves it. If he's gullible enough to believe that, then. Can you give us an example? Have you made a big purchase recently? Well, I purchased a dog, which we had to travel to go and get.

And I said the dog was $2,000, but he was actually $4,000. Oh, my. You got a $4,000 dog? What kind of dog was it? He's a German spit dog. But he's, um, yeah. I thought it was going to be a golden doodle with that price. No,

not a golden doodle. No, he's a German spit, but he's, um, $4,000. This dog needs to get an Instagram account and he needs to start paying his own way. He needs to start doing some endorsements. He needs to get an Instagram account and he needs to start paying his own way he needs to start doing some endorsements need to get this dog

paying its bills but it's fine because the dog was only $2,000 it was only $2,000 yeah it was fine it was two grand didn't you hear it

I love the idea of only $2,000 your partner's like that's fine that's an acceptable amount of money to pay on a dog that I don't want

her partner knew exactly how much it was let's talk to another anonymous person jeez some people are hiding in the shadows here hello anonymous hi anonymous Her partner knew exactly how much it was. Let's talk to another anonymous person. Jeez, some people are hiding in the shadows here. Hello, anonymous. Hi, anonymous.

Hey there. Tell us. You sound a little bit wary. Do you do this with your partner? What have you hid? I bought an $8,000 horse out of a joint account fund. An $8,000 what? A horse.

Oh. Wait, did you? A horse. A who? Wait, did you say out of the joint account? Yeah, it took him about a week or so to know this. By which time it had arrived and it was in the paddock and, you know, not much you can do about it. It's hard to hide that, isn't it? You never intended to hide the horse from him. You just wanted to get the sale over the line first so he couldn't back out of it.

Yeah, get it in the paddock and the gate locked. Once the gate's locked, it's too late. Smart, Anonymous. No return to sender. That horse is bolted. You're a smart operator, Anonymous. I like how you're playing the game. How did it go down when he found out about the $8,000 horse?

Not very well, but, you know, just a week of the old cold shoulders. Nothing that a box of beer can't fix. A box of beer? That's right. You buy him a distraction and then go, I did this, but here's beer. Let's get a man on. It's all very female focused at the moment. William's here.

Hi, William. Hi, William. Hey, how's it going, guys? Good, thanks. Have you done this to your partner, William? Hit a big purchase? Yeah, I did actually. A couple of weeks ago, I travelled up from Wellington to Rotorua

to pick up a $13,000 jet ski. And I just surprised my wife with it when I got home. William, do you want to be my partner? Because that sounds like heaven. Have you met my friend, Bree Thomasel? You two have the same financial strategy in life. I am keen for the jet ski purchase. How do you hide a jet ski?

How do you hide a $13,000 jet ski from your partner? I wasn't planning on hiding it when I got home with it, so I guess it was better to ask for forgiveness than permission. Yeah, see, I like that tact. How did it go down when the jet ski got home? Oh, she was a bit upset at first, but she's done with it now. She's all excited. You know, summer's coming up. But did you get her, like, she was a bit upset at first, but she's done with it now. She's all excited. You know, summer's coming up.

But did you get her, like, her own special life jacket? Like, people love that. Oh, I got a matching set. Yeah, cute. Is it a two-seater, William? Is it a two-seater? It's a three-seater, actually.

Okay. All right. Ooh, kinky. Okay. Nice, William. Very smart. Call me if it's a three-seater. Let me know.

Sue's here. Hi, Sue. Hello. Hi, Brinkley. Nice to speak to you me know. Sue's here. Hi, Sue. Hello. Hi, Brie and Clint. Nice to speak to you. Nice to speak to you too, Sue. Have you done this? You hid something?

Oh, my God, I do it all the time. But my classic, my best one, is my husband, Simon, who never makes decisions. We were actually in rentals in Auckland because we moved up from Taronga and we went rental to rental to rental for about eight years. Anyway, he went overseas to do a load of work for a certain amount of time and I took the opportunity to buy a house without him knowing and I spent one half million on a house and he had no idea.

Wait, did you just say you spent one and a half million without your husband knowing? Absolutely, and I'd do it again Absolutely and I'd do it again. And I'd do it again. Yeah, no problem. I bought sofas without him. I even bought him a greyhound for his anniversary present and he had no idea. You know what I always say about Simon,

Sue, he'll never pull his finger out. We've got to do it for him. Exactly. Do you consult him on anything? Do you even talk to Simon? Sue. He'll never pull his finger out. We've got to do it for him. Exactly. You have to make decisions. Do you consult him on anything? Do you even talk to Simon? Yeah, but when it comes to purchasing, he

overthinks and I don't. I'm an impulse purchaser and I'm a doer and he's the opposite. So it balances out. You know what, Sue? Simon's lucky to have you. He bloody is. He bloody is lucky to have you. He bloody is. He bloody is lucky to have you. Sue, you're good people.

That was a great call. Thank you. Thank you so much. Love your show, guys. Love you too, Sue. I love you. I spent $1.5 million and I'll do it again. I'll do it tomorrow.

It's been three. How good. Bree and Clint. Hey. It's my birthday. It's my birthday. Bree and Clint's birthday banger. Sorry, we're just having that moment where you realise someone you know is anti-vax. Yeah. No names, but. Your cousin.

Hey. I'm just kidding. Hey. That was not it. I haven't actually asked my cousins. I just assumed. You know, you just assume. You don't know. You just assume that the, that's the thing you don't know.

You just assume that the people in your circle think the same way as you. I think you would have heard about it if one of your cousins was. Yeah, they would have been in that protest on the weekend. They would have been in the family bloody WhatsApp, everyone talking about everyone. You know how it is. Let's do a birthday banger. We'll take three people's birthdays and figure out what was number one

on their 16th. Jamie's here. Kia ora, Jamie. Hi, Jamie. Hi. What's your birthday, Jamie? 19th of April, 1996. All right, mate.

You were 16 in 2012. And on the 19th of April in 2012, this was number one. Ah, an all-time great. Can you get down to some Carly Rae Jepsen, Jamie? What a classic. What a classic. Jamie, I'm on board. I've always said I'm not sick of this song.

I like it. You're not sick of it? No. Never. Yeah, right. Not sick of it. Okay, as an absolute contender to be a winner. Happy Pharrell, get it away from me.

Kat's here. Hi, Kat. G'day, Kat. Hey, how's it going? Good. How's your Monday? Yeah, not too bad, thanks. That's good to hear.

What's your birthday, Kat? 31st of May, 1983. Probably some old school rock sound, maybe. Oh, some old school rock. That'd be good. Number 16 in 1999. And on the 31st of May, your 16th birthday,

this was number one. Oh my God. It's not rock, but it rocks. Do you like this, Kat? Yeah, yeah, no. It's all cool. I thought Kat was about to say

that she didn't like it. Yeah, me too. And I thought Kat was about to say that she didn't like it Yeah, me too Who doesn't know the words to that? I thought we were going to have to hang up on Kat We just left her on a suspense of pause, Kat We weren't sure your opinion on Shania Twain Yeah It's a cardinal sin not to like Shania Twain on Birthday Bagger

She's one of the She's a goat Yeah, she's a goat Okay, cool, you're on board, wait there We'll do one of the, she's one of the, she's a goat. Yeah, she's a goat. Okay, cool. You're on board. Wait there. We'll do one for Rachel. Hey,

Rach. Hello there, Rachel. Hey, how's it going? Good, mate. How are you?

Yeah, not too bad, thanks. That's good to hear. Rach, what's your birthday? Fourth of January, 1988. Oh,

you're a Capricorn, Rachel, and you were 16 in 2004. And on the 4th of January, your 16th birthday, this had a number one hit. Superstar! For you, Rach, your summertime babies. Do you like this song?

Yeah, definitely. Definitely gonna be the best one. It's good, eh? Oh yeah, campaign girl, I like that. It's a certified banger. Yeah, absolutely. It's definitely going to be the best one. It's good, eh? Oh, yeah, campaign, girl. I like that. It's a certified banger. Yeah, absolutely. It's a SingStar classic. I wonder what Jamelia's up to these days. She came to Friday Jams a couple of years ago. Oh, yeah, she did too.

Yeah, she did, yep. Still killing it. Okay, wait there, Rach. We've got to deliberate. We have a Carly Rae Jepsen classic, a Shania Twain classic, and a Jamelia classic. All girls

and all our contestants are girls and I think also possibly all of the songs that have come through are these artists' best songs. Yeah. Shania Twain, Man I Feel Like a Woman. Is that better than Don't Impress Me Much? I'd argue it's on

par. What about Still the One? Oh, such a good tune too. Oh, don't get me started. Okay, alright. Well, they're all great songs. I'm going to vote for... Oh, I don't know. I'm really torn. I'm really torn. I could vote for any of them. I think Superstar

is out for me. Just because I have heard it quite often on Friday Jams. So it's down to Callly Rae and Shania Twain. For me, yes. Yeah. Yeah, I agree with you. So if I'm going by that logic, then I have to vote for Shania Twain. Not bad.

I feel like we've played it recently. I'm going to vote for Shania Twain. Oh, people on the text machine are like, give us Carly Rae. Nah, I'm going Shania. There it is, everybody. Gotta do it. Kat, you did it, mate. It was touch and go

for a bit, but you just won birthday banger. I won. What is the greatest Shania Twain song? Text us. 9696. See what I don't want? What? A sequel.

Do you not want it? I was about to say we do want it. I feel like... A sequel to Elf. The Will Ferrell Christmas movie. One of my favourite Christmas movies ever, I would say. So get a sequel in you. The Will Ferrell Christmas movie. One of my favourite Christmas movies ever, I would say. So get a sequel in you.

But if you look at Will Ferrell's track record, some of his sequels, because the first one is so good and so iconic. The bar's too high. The bar's too high. Well, we're going to look at some of his sequels, but first let's focus on Elf, okay? You know Elf, the Christmas movie, where he has to go and live at the North Pole,

but he's a regular man, not an elf. Yeah, he's an orphan baby that climbs into Santa's sack. That's right. So he grows up in the North Pole, thinks he's an elf, but he's actually a human, and then the movie follows him going back to New York to find his real dad. That's right. Tomorrow morning, 10 a.m, Santa's coming to town.

Santa! Oh my God! Santa here? I know him. I know him. I know him. Such a good movie. So Will Ferrell has been offered the chance to make Elf 2. They want to make it. The movie company want it to happen. Santa wants it to happen.

Will Ferrell is the man who will decide whether there'll be an Elf 2, because there's no Elf 2 without Will Ferrell, right? You can't replace him. No! That's the mistake people always make when making sequels. Will Ferrell has said no to Elf 2 and $40 million.

Whoa! That's how much they offered him to make Elf 2, and he said no. He said, put that elf on the shelf. He said elf on the shelf, yeah. His reason? He didn't want to promote the movie because he knew it wouldn't be any good. See? He's a smart man.

Well, he is now because he's made the mistake a few times. Well, this is right. He said, I would have had to promote that movie From an honest place Which I would have been like Oh it's not good I just couldn't turn down the money I love that

So I mean that's an ethical decision It shows a lot of integrity But you're right Brie Why is he taking such a stand now Why didn't he take this stand in 2016 when they produced Zoolander 2? Zoolander, one of my favourite movies of all time. I've never even seen Zoolander 2. I don't think I've seen it because it got such bad reviews

and I didn't want to ruin the first one. Why didn't he take this stand in 2013 when he was offered the role of Ron Burgundy in Anchorman 2? I can't even talk about this movie. I think it's one of the biggest disappointments in terms of

me going to watch a sequel to a film. I think it's at the top. It nearly ruined the first one, eh? Nearly ruined the whole thing. Because the lines are blurred between which one you're actually watching. Why didn't he take this stand when he was offered the role in Daddy's Home 2 with Mel Gibson and Mark Wahlberg? No, I didn't mind that. Daddy's Home 2?

Didn't mind it because they added Mel Gibson into the mix, which was a new character. What good does Mel Gibson do? And then Chevy Chase also got added into the mix, so there was just all these people and it was chaos. Well, if we add Mel Gibson and Chevy Chase to Elf 2, are you keen? Maybe. That might be quite a different film.

Really? Is that all it takes? I don't know. I don't know. Either way, you have to find yourself another Christmas movie this year, maybe Frozen 2. I know that already exists. Yeah, how was that movie?

I don't know, mate. I'm still avoiding Frozen 1. I've got kids I'm still Maybe Frozen 2. I know that already exists. Yeah, how was that movie? I don't know, mate. I'm still avoiding Frozen 1. I've got kids, I'm still avoiding Frozen 1. It's coming, mate. Oh, winter is coming. Winter is coming. Okay, Bird of the Year has been announced. I know you're a keen follower of Bird of the Year, Brie.

I actually am. Every year you're in there. I do look forward to Bird of the Year. You're excited for the Hoi Ho when it won? Absolutely. Bring it on. I think one year a penguin won. Yeah, that was the hoi ho. No, and then another year a little penguin won. I think that was the hoi ho. I take it very seriously.

Well, you'll be excited to know that 2021 is a new bird of the year and after 58,000 votes, the bird of the year is a bat. What is this BS? A bat is not a bird. Well, according to this, the...

A bat is a mammal. Pika Pika Tau Ra Aroa, or the long-tailed bat, native to New Zealand. Who knew we had a native bat? I had no idea, to be honest. Is officially the bird of the year. Probably why it needs to be looked after. And favorited, maybe. Are you suggesting a conspiracy here?

Because of any year to vote for bird of the year to be a bat, what are we doing right now if not living in a world destroyed by bats? I think even regardless of the bad PR that bats in general have got lately, let's just say it for what it is. A bat is not a bird. It can't win bird of the year. It is a mammal. It literally has little babies that then suckle on its teeth.

Do they not come out of eggs? Do they not come out of eggs? Do they not come out of eggs? I don't know, but I know that it has its babies and it nurses the babies. Birds don't do that. They regurgitate goo for them. Exactly. Yeah, right. A bat is a mammal, not a bird.

Well, the Pika Pika Toroa, the long-tailed bat, has one. Just to give you some stats on him, he's as small as a thumb. So he's a cute bat and the size of a bumblebee when he's born. So as far as bats go, pretty cute. Don't eat them, though. That's how we got into this mess in the first place. You know, bats are just gross. Well, Ben got us some bat sound effects.

Would you like to hear them? No, these freak me out. Here's some bats just batting around. You're from Australia. You're used to pterodactyl sized bats. I remember when we were in the Gold Coast on holiday so we could go to Movie World, Dream World and Whitewater World.

The bats that were hanging upside down in the palm trees. Flying foxes. They hang out their wings Ben. It's terrifying. So those flying foxes and I had bad encounters with these. they they run in packs and there's so many of them and they kind of look like birds but they are bats and they just make these horrendous screeching noises and they just poo everywhere oh batshit so is batshit the stuff that can burn through your car paint so my car had a custom paint job when I was like 19 and these flying foxes pooed on it and it just ripped up all the paint.

Like how messed up is your bowel system that you poo on something and it strips paint? Well, we're learning that there's not a lot inside a bat that is fit for human consumption. But the bird of the year in New Zealand this year. The bird of the year. It's not a bird. The bird of the year winning by 3,000 votes. Tell me, how many votes? 3,000. So 3,000 people voted.

No, 58,000 votes and it won by 3,000. So 58,000 people thought, yeah, I'm going to vote for this. Yeah. Even though a bat is not a bird. No, 58,000 votes total and the bat got 3,000 more votes than anyone else. So how many votes total? I don't know. Well, this is important because we want to know how many people among us

think it's appropriate to give New Zealand bird of the year to a bat. That is a mammal, not a bird. I'll request an audit, Brianne Clint. Play ZM's Brianne Clint.
