The ZM Podcast Network. Hi everybody, welcome to the Brianne Clint Podcast with Maddie, who's out of the studio in Hawke's Bay. Hi Maddie. Hi, hi, hi, hi. Yeah, I'm coming to you from sunny, beautifully sunny Napier, which is unreal considering what they've been through over the last couple of weeks. What they've been through for, we have a lot of people overseas who listen to this podcast, is horrific flooding and one of the worst weather events New Zealand's ever experienced. Yeah.

We're talking billions of dollars worth of damage because of the cyclone that especially ravaged the east coast of the North Island and Napier was right in its firing line. In fact, the whole Hawke's Bay region was. So, yeah, they've been really picking up the pieces. But, man, they're amazing. God, I'm honestly just overwhelmed at how incredible these people are. Matty's there covering it for TV as well, his other job.

But he's a busy man. We say hardest working man in media, and people laugh, but the man is. I know. I need a massage for the shoulders. That's all. You should see his Airpoints account. He's gold elite. Gold, baby.

Are you gold elite? No, I was once upon a time. Gold elite? Yeah, I'm not anymore. Speaking of gold elite, Ella, have you dyed your hair? Thank you. You finally noticed.

Yeah, I just noticed it before. The light just hit it. You've changed your hair colour Do you like it? Yeah I do like it I'm ginger To gold She's gone

Totally. Well, I haven't taken my sunglasses off yet, so we're getting to the end of the show. Looks really good. Thank you. Also, what about Claudia's haircut? Oh, fuck. Really? She had mine a few weeks ago.

It was like a week and a half ago, but it's no big deal. Wait, is it a trim or a new hairstyle? No, I cut like half of my hairstyle my hair off yeah but like ella said you wear a lot of hats yeah but my hair's down under the hat look it's so short now all right well if i'm such an arsehole did maddie notice no and neither did my dad so it's fine but i'm not keeping track did ella notice ella did notice the second i saw her yeah will brie notice when she i think she will. But we can put bets on that. We'll give her three days and if she doesn't notice, I'm not a bad guy.

Okay, fine. Three days is a long time. Maddie, did you notice? I had no clue. I'm so sorry. And I'm usually reasonably observant as well. That's fine. Everybody on this show looks wonderful. Especially you, Maddie. Yeah, Maddie, you look great. We love you, Maddie.

Is that the thing? Should you just Maddie. Yeah, Maddie, you look great. We love you, Maddie. Is that the thing? Should you just every week, once a week, go, have you done something different with your hair? Because if they haven't, no harm lost. Except people do that to Ella, and they're like, have you done something? And she's like, I'm wearing makeup.

And then it's like, oh. Yeah, they're like, you look really different. Yeah, thanks, mate. Is the safety net here, do we need to get into the habit of, once a week, just with our colleagues and workmates, do we need to get into the habit of once a week just with our colleagues and workmates so we see them go, fuck, you look hot. Damn.

Yeah, that's probably the, yeah, that's the safest way to go about it. Shit, I'd tap that ass. No. No. Yeah, in 2023, that's such a good idea. How'd you get all of that in damn jeans?

No, that's uncomfortable. Oh, yeah, no, don't do that. Damn. Damn. Claudia, do you uncomfortable. Oh yeah, no, don't do that. Diem. Diem. Claudia, do you do something with your weave? Alright, I'll stop. Oh my god. Yeah, okay.

Last thing before we go, wholesome story. Took the girls to the zoo on the weekend. Fun. Tui's third time going to the zoo. Maggie's first time. My first time in like a decade. Man, the zoo is awesome. It's cool now, eh? But the bits where the animals weren't there, they didn't care. They were just

like pushing. Go to the next thing. Go to the next thing. We come up behind the South African family and there was this like three-year-old boy and he got to this enclosure. He must have seen many of the animals he wanted to see and he got to the tank and he goes, Oh, Mom, all the animals are dead. She goes, Stop saying that. He goes,

they are dead. Where are they? Where were they? I don't know. Sleeping? Sleeping? Yeah, no fear. That's funny. That's extra funny. Did you feed giraffes? No, they were busy feeding themselves. Yeah, fair. But it was incredible. Have you seen a giraffe giving birth yet?

Ella! Ella, stop! Trying to affect my algorithm, Ella. My algorithm. Alright, let's go. Everyone's got shit to do. Enjoy the podcast everybody. Bree's back tomorrow. Thank you, Maddie. We love you. We appreciate it. Love you guys. Bye. I'm coming now. Well, howdy pilgrims.

ZM Bree and Clint by... I'm coming in. Well, howdy, pilgrim. Z and... Brie. And Clint. With guest host, Maddie McLean. G'day, everybody. Good afternoon. It's Brie and Clint with Maddie coming to you live. I'm here in the Auckland studio,

and Maddie is in Hawke's Bay right now. Hi, Maddie. Hi. Yeah, it's really special to be here, actually. We came down yesterday, and we filmed the breakfast show here this morning, and we're going to be here, actually. We came down yesterday and we filmed the breakfast show here this morning and we're going to be here for a few days. So we've been travelling around today, especially, getting into some of those communities that, man, they've been hit hard.

Yeah. It's pretty crazy. I sent you some videos from out in Esk Valley today. That's the valley that you would have seen on the news if you'd been watching the coverage because it is, first of all, it was isolated and now you can get in there but there's some real damage out there you're talking to people um and interviewing them what is the mood of people like down there in the hawks bay at the moment you wouldn't believe it like it i'm blown away i think we've

heard this word so many times the resilience but it truly is the word that sums up people here. They are just rallying, gathering together, doing whatever they can. I spoke to a guy who lives out in Esk Valley. His house and his livelihood, like his business, gone. He's been out at a community hub serving up lunch for other people that have been displaced by the floods and by the cyclone today. That's how much these people care about their own community.

It's unbelievable. And the sun is shining. It's such a beautiful day. It is truly, it is so hot. And talking to people, they said, last week we were dealing with one of the worst floods we've ever had and today I'm having to worry about putting on sunscreen because I'm going to get burnt.

It's quite a cruel twist, really, that it can pivot that much within a week. But like you said, we were talking about it earlier, at least the sun is out and it gives you a little bit more to feel positive about. It's such a mental thing, right? If you see the sun shining, it actually gives you a little bit of hope and just something to enjoy.

You know, just being able to go and have a beer out in the sun or, you know, just look at some clear blue sky gives you a bit of hope and a bit of relief. Well, wherever you're tuning in from today, we're hoping to give you a bit of a laugh, a bit of a smile. We'll bring you some information and some good stories coming out of there as well. But let's kick it off with Tradiverse Lady.

We've got 50 bucks cash up for grabs thanks to KFC. It's 12 all, Matty. Oh, wow. We're all tied up. All right. So we need a tradie and a lady, and we need them right now. Bree and Clint. Time for Tradiverse Lady. Oh, wow. We're all tied up. Alright. So we need a tradie and a lady and we need them right now. Time for tradie versus lady. Maddie's coming live out of Hawke's Bay today

and in tradie versus lady, it's 12 plays 12, Maddie. We're all tied up. And am I right in thinking the tradies have never been ahead this year? The tradies have never been ahead this year? The tradies have never been ahead this year. Wow. It's got neck and neck a couple of times, but they've never pushed in front. So they're the underdogs.

So let's go to our tradie first. He's calling from Christchurch. He's 18, and right now he's wearing a pair of arseless chaps. You and me both. Welcome to the show, Blake. G'day. How you doing? I've had this conversation before, Blake.

Aren't all chaps, by definition, arseless? Um, oh, nah, I'm sure you can get some that aren't arseless, but no. Really? Because I thought if they had an arse, they were pants. I thought the arseless part is what made them chaps. I think defining them as arseless is just to really give it that punctuation it needs. Start arseless chaps. Yeah.

Are they crotchless as well? Yes, they are. Send a pic, Blake, for a friend. I will, I will. No one says crotchless chaps, do they? It's very arse-focused when it comes to chaps. Okay, you're taking on our lady today. She's calling in from Morrinsville.

She's 29, and she was pregnant, and she didn't even know it. Welcome to the show, Chelsea. Hi. For how long, Chelsea? How long were you pregnant without realising? Well, with my first, when it happened, I found out two hours before I had him. It was an estimated 38 weeks in gestation,

and then I've actually just done it again recently where I didn't know I was pregnant until I was 33 weeks pregnant. Wow. Chelsea. I've had two normal pregnancies in between them as well. So I know how it works. Do you know how you get pregnant?

Yes. Are you across that? I'm just checking. You're a medical miracle That's quite incredible That is amazing Your buzzer Chelsea is lady And Blake

hey now nobody laugh when I say this Blake has come from behind and has arseless chance to claim

the title I think someone else will be coming from behind nobody laugh that was a serious statement. Blake, 50 bucks from KFC coming your way. Congratulations.

Thank you. There we go. Blake is my kind of man. I want to talk about this. Do you believe in fate, Matty? Do you believe in soulmates, I guess? I like the thought of it, but I don't know that I necessarily believe in it.

Like your husband, Ryan, do you think you and him were meant to be together? No. In fact, there's so many times where I look at him, I go, we so shouldn't work and somehow we do. You're like, we beat the odds. I say that too to my wife, Lucy, and she goes, no, you're currently beating the odds.

It's a tenuous way. Yeah, it's a perpetual system where you need to stay on top. This story makes me believe in the concept of star-crossed lovers. It's a post that I found on Instagram. It's a married couple in China. They discovered that they were in the same place at the same time doing the same thing 20 years before they were married. Wow. They're going through these old photos and they're both posing in front of this building, which is in Chengdu, which is in the province of Sichuan in China.

And it's this crazy like architectural building. I don't know the name of the building. I don't think you would recognise it if you saw it. But I think if you're in the area, that's one of the things that you go and see. And when you're there, tourists have a photo in front of them. Sure.

For whatever reason, they get talking about it and they realise that they've both been to visit this monument. Maybe he saw a photo of her there. And he's like, I've been there too. They look closer at her photo that she had in front of that building. And in the background

of her photo 20 years ago is him posing for his photo in front of that same building at the exact same time. This is wild. Oh my God, you've just sent it to me. This is crazy. So she's posing and he's like maybe 10-15 metres off in the background facing in another direction. He's also posted his photo and the photos have been taken like at the exact same

second because the pose that he is striking in the background of the photo is the same pose that he's doing in his photo. Wow. The cameras went off at the same pose that he's doing in his photo. Wow. The cameras went off at the same time. They don't know each other. They didn't talk to each other at this place.

They go off in separate directions. They live their lives. And then somewhere down the track, they meet, fall in love, get married, and then they realise they were both at the same place at the same time. Nearly 20 years later as well. Isn't that crazy? That is wild.

The closest I got to this was when Ryan and I had just started dating. I was sitting on a plane with a really good friend of mine. We were going on a weekend away. And I was telling her about this guy that I'd been dating. And I kind of explained him to her. And she goes, oh, my God, I think I know him. And she pulled up a photo and years beforehand they'd been at the Rewaka pub near Nelson, famous for its New Year's Eve parties and they'd hit it off in one of those

moments where you meet someone and you think you're going to be best friends when you're drunk and then you never see them again but they'd gotten a photo together at the pub. And it was him. And it was him, it was Ryan. See that's spooky but also classic New Zealand. Totally. Because I want to talk about this this afternoon, that when you realised you had a shared history with your partner

before you got together and before you knew each other, and I am a little bit worried that the stories we're going to get are people who are like, it wasn't until the wedding speeches that I realised I'd pashed her at R&V 15 years ago and then never text her back. But there's something beautiful about that as well. Do you have a story that can compare?

Do you have a shared history with your partner that neither of you were aware of until you got married or until you had been dating for a while? Once you guys got together you realised oh my god we were on the same school camp or something like that but you didn't grow up together you were never in that situation together what?

I was just like depending on where you live maybe you're cousins maybe see that is a shared history it is you realised that you were related when you both went to the same grandma's funeral See, that is a shared history. It is. You realised that you were related when you both went to the same grandma's funeral. Family reunion just got interesting. So we're trying to figure out, like, is fate a real thing?

Were you meant to be with that person? Alice is here. Hi, Alice. Hi. Do you have a story like this? Yes, it's not my partner. It's me and my best friend. Yeah.

So probably when we were about 14 or 15, we were looking through some of her old baby photos. And there was a photo when she was probably about two years old on the Ferris wheel at the carnival where we live. And the main people in the photo were actually me when I was two years old and my granddad. Get off the grass. I know, it was crazy.

About 10 years later, we were going through the photos and saw it. And we're like, hang on, that looks like me when I was a baby. Lucky your granddad was in the picture because I wouldn't recognise myself as a baby. No, neither would I. If it was a picture of a two-year-old me, I'd need mum to tell me who it is. Or like I need an item of clothing that I remember seeing in photos of me, something like that. So yeah, granddad's a dead giveaway, that's good. Andy's here. Hi, Andy.

Hey. You got a story like this for us? Yeah, well, actually, my dad and my husband's mum used to go to primary school together and dance with rock and roll later in life. And I remember running around with three boys and one of them was actually my husband. Wow. How long after that did you actually meet your husband? Like 16 years.

Wow. And when did you figure out that you were those kids who hung out because your parents were rock and roll dancing together? When we met both the sides of the family and went to go introduce them all, they already bloody knew each other. Is this a small town New Zealand thing? Where was it, Andy?

Hamilton. Yeah, right. See, that's not that small. That's not that small. No, and all my cousins went to school with his cousins and my mum knows all his aunties and didn't have to do much introducing. So did you feel like it was meant to be because of that?

Well, yeah. A little bit, eh? Yeah, okay, thanks, Andy. That's similar to this one. Someone said, My husband's auntie used to give me cuddles when I was a baby when my mum used to take me to the supermarket. I only found this out when my mum and his auntie

saw each other at our wedding. I think it's that connection thing, right? Someone else has texted and said, Our parents were neighbours and friends and I held my partner as a baby and I didn't know it until our parents met again once we were together. It's crazy. So crazy. Kat's called up.

Hi, Kat. Hi. Have you got a story like this, people sharing with shared history? I sure do. It's actually me and my cousin. Okay, you and your cousin? Yeah, so I immigrated from Scotland to New Zealand when I was eight years old. And form class, so year nine, there was someone in my class

that had the same last name as my mum. And I was like, this is a bit trippy. And so we were talking on the phone one day, and mum goes, who are you talking to? And I was like, oh, it's my youngest from my class. And she goes, that's actually your

cousin. Your cousin and my granddad are brothers. And you guys had no idea? We had absolutely no idea. Even though you both had flaming ginger hair. And a Scottish accent. And you were wearing the same tartan kilt. You just weren't able to put

two and two together. Pretty much. Thanks Kat, that's good. Last one, someone said my husband and I met at a sports tournament in year seven. I teased him about his name. It was Reed. I told him, why don't you go and read a book? Good one.

It was because of that name that I remembered him when we met in year 13 and we've been together ever since. Cute. See, it's true. It's possible. See, bullying does have positive outcomes sometimes. Bree and Clint. Time to go live to LA for the latest.

From iHeartRadio, this is The Latest. Live from LA with Dean McCarthy. When Rihanna did her Super Bowl halftime show and revealed that she was pregnant, as much as the superfans loved the show, they were gutted that maybe the baby meant there wouldn't be new music for even

longer. Not to make it all about them, you know, but that's how they felt. However, news out today, Dean, that that might not be the case. Might not be the case. It's very exciting that she's obviously pregnant. I would much prefer her to be getting birthed to a new album. Let's be honest about that.

But here's the thing. She's actually considering a new music this year, later in the year. Now, she basically did this British Vogue. It was incredible on the cover, as you can imagine. Last one she released, obviously, was for the Black Panther Wakanda Forever album. It was called Lift Me Up. Pretty cool track.

Pretty cool track. Great movie. Anyway, she said this. She said, I wanted to be this year. She said, it's honestly ridiculous. If it's not this year, if it's not this year, right? But I just want to have fun with it. I want to make music and I want to make videos.

And so she is working on considering new music this year. Two things, two things, right? Number one, she's a billionaire. Yeah. And when you're a billionaire, you don't really need to push any type of music out. Yeah. You don't really care. Yeah.

You're a billionaire. That's number one. Number two, I am still gutted and I don't know why I should really get over it, but I'm gutted that she didn't use the Super Bowl as an opportunity to promote, release new music. Like when Beyonce performed Formation, that was the first time we'd ever seen Formation at the Super Bowl. It was the best

ad money can't even buy. So it's a shame, but look, you know what? She's pregnant. She's a billionaire. She's going to be fine. She's hot. She's doing working mom things. She's fine. She's a billionaire. She's going to be fine. She's hot. Yeah, she's doing working mom things. She's fine. True. And look, there's nothing to say.

She might not go on tour as a pregnant woman, but there's nothing to say. She can't go and chill out in the studio for a couple of weeks and pump out some new music. I read part of the interview. It didn't sound like she's going on tour. She said, I want to make music and make videos. She didn't say she wanted to go on tour.

So maybe, maybe, maybe you get new music. I cannot get the picture of Rihanna birthing a CD out of my head now after what Dean said at the start. So we might leave it there. That's the latest. Live out of LA with our Hollywood correspondent, Dean McCarthy. Brian Clint. You still running that personalised plate I saw on your Instagram

account, Matty? I tried to get, in the lead up to our wedding, I tried to, I thought it would be a really nice idea to get some personalised plates for the wedding car. Yeah. So I went with MRRYD. I thought, great idea. Ryan was

not loving it. I know. He was like, the wedding day is one day. I'm not driving around town with MRRYD on my car. Matty's like, well, don't check my Instagram because I'm going to be rolling out wedding content for the next three years. Exactly. I know you're not using that plate anymore.

However, it would have been handy for your marriage celebrant business. Actually, that's true, man. It would have made the car tax deductible. True. You could say it's a business. It's an ad. It's a marketing vehicle, you know. God, I'm an idiot.

This is a story about a personalized plate that has just sold in Hong Kong for 25.5 million Hong Kongese dollars or 5.2 million New Zealand dollars. What? 5.2 million dollars. Wow. For a personalized plate. It was part of a Lunar New Year auction earlier in the month in Hong Kong. Oh, they're very auspicious. They love

their Lunar New Year. Yes. You know, their numbers, their lucky letters. Yeah. A lot of people think it plays into real estate. Like some houses are more lucky because of the number they are where they're placed on the street. But what's a number plate that someone would pay $5.2 million

for? Well, the plate that sold for $5.2 million was R. Just the letter? Just R. Yeah, R. R. R. I can't even say it right. R.

A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q. R. The letter, the one letter R. Single letter. That's $5.2 million per letter. Why? They think, according to some in Chinese fortune telling, the letter R is believed to be lucky.

It could be because of its connection to the colour red. R, red. Wow. And red is associated with success and good fortune. If anybody knows why R is considered so lucky, I would love to know on the text machine. I guess it's also just a unique thing, right? If you're rocking a car with just one letter on the number plate.

Yeah. Well, there can only be, how many letters in the alphabet? 24 or 26? Yeah. How many are there? 26. 26. There can only be 26.

Shut up. There can only be 26. Shut up. There can only be 26 of those cars in the country. That's not the world's most expensive play ever, though. That was sold in the United Arab Emirates for 52.2 million Durham or $20 million. Do you want to have a guess at what that was? The most expensive plate ever sold in the UAE. Daddy? No? Can you imagine? It's the word du jour at the moment. Yeah, yeah. I don't know how it would go down in the UAE. Don't know if they look too kindly on that stuff.

No, the world's most expensive number plate ever sold in the UAE. One. The letter one. Oh. I saw a video. Boring. Boring. Nah, nah.

It's like a total status thing over there. Because I saw a video that's like, it was this guy who had all this money and he was going to these clubs and getting his car valeted and wondering why he wasn't getting like as much respect as other people and all this thing. And he found out that the less symbols there are on your number plate over there, the better off

they see you as being. Like, if you have more than two numbers on your number plate, don't even bother. Pov-o. Yeah, pov-o. Don't even bother showing up. Meanwhile, we've got six. Six. Oh my God.

They wouldn't even let us park in the car park. We are an embarrassment. Speaking of embarrassments, I'm glad you brought that up. I wonder if we could talk about not rare, not rich,

not expensive personalised plates, but embarrassing personalised plates. Do you have one? Does your partner have one? Did your parents have one growing up? Because let's be honest, the boomers bought most of the personalised plates. Do you have one? Does your partner have one? Did your parents have one growing up? Because let's be honest,

the boomers bought most of the personalised plates before we could get to them. Most of them are already gone. So those are not available. Are there any that you want to dob in? I'll dob someone in straight away. Her name's Bree Thomasel. She's usually on this show

and she's still driving around with the number plate on her car that says Lesh Go. Lesh Go. I'm not sure anybody has said Lesh Go since 2020. It is very Brie. It's still on her number plate. It's very Brie though, isn't it?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. We sold the Venute with the number plate Venute on it. So that's out there in the ether somewhere. But can we get more embarrassing than Lesh Go? Can you share your personalised plates with us this afternoon? We want to talk embarrassing personalised plates, and I thought we might get silly ones,

but these are all just rude. I don't know how these got past the personalised plates company. I thought they were fairly strict on the sort of stuff they let you get on there, but I guess if you can trick the algorithm, then you can get whatever you want. Sometimes it does take you a second, a hot minute,

to kind of register what they actually mean. My name is Nick. Number plate is 4NIK8. 4 Nick 8. Oh. Fornicate. Oh. Far out.

I don't know how this one made it out of the computer. We're going to start with Tui. Hi, Tui. Hi. Is this your number plate or is it your friend's embarrassing personalised plate? No, it's a mate. Okay. What does your mate's personalised plate say, Tui?

V-moist. V-moist. V-moist. Are you being truthful with us? Yeah, yeah. Let's do it. Did someone get it for her or did she buy it for herself? Oh, no. It's a guy.

Oh. It's a guy. Yeah. Any numbers in there or do they manage to get, because that's the creme de la creme if you can get all letters. That's legit letters. All letters, V-Moist, all letters. Wow.

And what part of New Zealand is V-Moist driving around? Auckland. Thank you very much. Cool. V-Moist is definitely driving like a Mitsubishi Lancer with an Evo kit on it. A Subaru legacy for sure. Let's talk to Matt. Hi, Matt.

Hey, how's it going? Good. What's your embarrassing personalized plate? So mine was one that my boomer dad had for a while growing up when he had a classic Jaguar. And it was hers with three R's and a Z. Oh, cringe. Dad, come on.

Because it was a cat. It's such a boomer thing to do. Yeah, it's such a boomer thing to do. Because it was a cat, and his old Jaguar used to purr. Oh, God. And can I just say, too, I think we should switch to calling them what they call them in North America, which is vanity plates.

Vanity plates. That's easy what they are. Yeah, I see what you're saying there. I like to think that when Dad's Jag broke down, he had to put purr on just like a sensible Toyota Camry or something like that. Yeah, totally. Because then spend the money on the plates,

so you've got to get your money's worth. Exactly. Thanks, Matt. Because they'd spend the money on the plate, so you've got to get your money's worth. Exactly. Thanks, Matt. Someone texted and said, Hi, guys, I roll with mischief. M-I-S-C-I-F. I'm 48, I drive a GTI Golf, and my kids hate it. Age is just a number.

Let's play Guess That Voice. Where we play you celebrities' voices and you guess who they are. Matty Dominant. I forgot how well he did last week. In fairness, it was my round. I don't know how I would do Monday to Friday. I just hit it on a good day.

What was our theme last week, Claude? It had Sarah Jessica Parker in it. It was celebs with fragrances. Not my forte. Came to me in a dream. Is it sad that it is my forte? Like, is that something I want to brag about? Oh, absolutely. Was Johnny Depp in there? No, he wasn't.

No. Savage. But David Beckham was. That's right. Joining our teams this afternoon, we'll start with Jeremy. Kia ora, Jeremy. Hi, how are you? We're good. Do you want to join Team Maddie or Team Clint? Team Maddie, thanks.

Yeah, good choice. I feel like that could be a wise choice. That means Team Underdog is Clint and Jessica. Hi, Jess. Hi. You an underdog with me? Yeah, totally. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Don't do that. No, we've got, Jess. Hi. You an underdog with me? Yeah, totally. Roar, roar, roar, roar, roar.

That's going to carry our team through to victory this afternoon. Claude runs the game. Claude, we've got a theme this week. There is a theme I don't know if you've seen People are trying to Reinvigorate the beef Between Pink and Christina Aguilera

Yes Because back in the day They did Lady Marmalade together Yes That's right And apparently Pink had a great time With Maya and Kim The other two artists

But she didn't mention Christina So there was a bit of beef. So people were trying to get that beef going again. Yeah, and Pink's already like, guys, we're over it. Yeah, we're both mothers now, we're different. Then do another collab. Exactly. So I've gone and looked into other collabs that Christina has done

and these are all people she doesn't have beef with. Oh, this is a Maddie round again. All of these celebrities are predicated off their relationship with Christina Aguilera. You'll know all of these people though. Okay. Yeah, you'll know them. Okay, Maddie and I first and then it's over to you and Jeremy and Jessica, okay?

Yes, so your names are your buzzers. Clint and Maddie, this one is for you. It's been very different. Maddie. Maddie. Cher. Yeah. What the? What the? She's got one of the most recognisable voices in pop music. Let me hear it.

In entertainment. Let me hear it. It's been very different because the people are pretty old. You know, in the beginning I thought, oh, what a pain in the ass. But then I thought, you know, this might be the last concert they ever see. Oh, my God. So they were in But then I thought, you know, this might be the last concert they ever see. Oh, my God. So they were in burlesque together.

Well, you can expect live music. Of course. See, that's why I'm not a comedian. Let's listen again. Well, you can expect live music. Of course. See, that's why I'm not a comedian. Come on, Jeremy. She's an ex-Disney star. Should we go to a little bit of her music? Yeah. As a clue.

This is the song. I know it. Claude, you've gone so deep in the Christina fandom. This voice is so iconic, though. I'm sure I could sing great. Is that Demi Lovato? It's Demi Lovato. Yeah, that's Demi.

No points there, though. Point to Jessica and Clint. I can't give you that. Fine, back to Maddie and I. Okay, yeah and Clint. I can't give you that. Fine. Back to Maddie and I. Okay. Yeah. Back to you guys.

But I've got a mind blank. She's one of the world's really hard. I know it. Come on, Jeremy. I've got a mind blank. She's one of the world's biggest pop stars. She's very short. Nah. She wore a meat dress once. No. No, you're not giving

This is birthday banger where we figure out the number one song on your 16th birthday. We have a little deliberation and we play out the best one in full and we're going to start with Donna.

Kia ora Donna. Kia ora. How are you going Donna? Not too bad, how are you guys? Yeah good thank you. Where are you calling from? Sunny Christchurch. Sunny Christchurch. You going to Electric Ave this weekend Donna? Yeah I think I'm a little bit too old for that. Well we don't know that yet. We haven't done your birthday banger.

Give us your date of birth, Donna, and we'll do your birthday banger. Okay, it's the 9th of June, 1968. There she is. All right, Donna, you were 16 on the 9th of June, 1984, and this was topping the charts. 1968. There she is. All right, Donna, you were 16 on the 9th of June, 1984, and this was topping the charts. Donna, are you telling me Kenny Loggins is not on the Electric Avenue lineup?

Is he not hitting Hagley Park with Flume in L.A.B.? He might be on one of the outside stages. Yeah, true. On nice and early as well, eh? Yeah. Do you love it? Is it a good birthday banger? It's upbeat, isn't it? I was kind of hoping for more Depeche Mode or something,

but yeah, that's not bad. So did you say a swear word, Donna? Depeche Mode. Depeche Mode, yeah. I'm just kidding. Obviously, I. Depeche Mode. Depeche Mode, yeah. I'm just kidding. Obviously, I love Depeche Mode. I thought you were going to say you were too young to remember them. Yeah, yeah.

I'd never say that. Wait there, Donna. Matty, who's Depeche Mode? I don't know. Claude, can you load up some Depeche Mode for us? Let's go to Grant. Cue to Grant. Hiya.

How are you going? Yeah, good. How are you? Good. Howue to Grant. Hiya. How you going? Yeah, good. How are you? Good. We're about to see you in the country. I'm just sitting between Hastings and Napier on the expressway. How are you doing, Grant? You doing alright? Yeah, we're doing okay. We just

went to fill the car up with groceries and bringing them home for a little work now. Have you got some power back? Yep. How long did you go without? Too long. Yeah.

Yeah, too long. Hey, but the sun's shining, Grant. Yeah. And it's a beautiful thing to see. You sound pretty knackered, man. Let's get your birthday banger on here and keep you moving. What's your date of birth? 22nd of March, 1986.

All right, Grant, you were 16 on the 22nd of March, 2002, and this is the number one song. Now we're talking. Bit of Shakira. You into it, Grant? Yeah. Oh, I love a bit of Shakira. You love a bit of Shakira.

Good man. Let's put the pe pet back in your step. Good stuff. Wait there. Let's do one more for Santana. Kia ora, Santana. Hello. Hello.

What's your date of birth, Santana? Let's do your birthday banger. Yep. It's 24th of April, 2000. All right, Santana. You were 16 on the 24th of April 2016, and this is your birthday banger. Banger.

Cool. Are you into it? Do you like that? Yes, not too bad. Number one in the year 2016. It's a good one from Sia It's not going to beat Shakira for me though I'm voting for Grant and Shakira

I think I am too Partly for Shakira But also for Grant He has been through a lot He needs a boost Yeah Let's do it Grant, congratulations man

You're the winner of Birthday Banger today Oh, that's awesome Thank you It's not a sympathy vote either This is a real banger I really hope it's not. Let's go for it. Brian Clint with Maddie. You're on ZM.

ZM, Brian Clint with Maddie. The winner of Birthday Banger goes out to Grant. From 2002, that's Shakira, Whenever, Wherever. We're getting roasted by just a couple of Depeche Mode fans, by the way. For not knowing. Oh, this is Depeche Mode. Oh, this Depeche Mode. Oh, this one. This one.

Someone goes, Clint, you call yourself a DJ? Yeah, this isn't on the DJ ballot? Yeah, no, weirdly this has fallen off the... I'll do my research, okay? Lesson learned. Yeah, add it to the rotation. Add it to the rotation.

Hey, Saturday night, Ryan and I went round to catch up with a friend for dinner. She's just started seeing a new man. Oh, yeah. And this was the introduction to said new man.

She was specifically introducing you and Ryan to the new man? Yeah, which is a weird call to make because, I don't know, are we the best representation of people's friend groups? I'm not sure. You've got to think about that eh? Because the first friends do

represent you. Yeah truly Unless she's really serious and she's just trying to get an early on like a cheap celebrant situation You know how you met him first? Well we want you there. Or she's like look I'm going to go with the worst friends that I've got.

And if you still stick around, then it's meant to be. The Maddie and Ryan baptism of fire. Exactly. Ryan's always like, stop being a journalist and just have a normal conversation. Because I'm always like, yeah, where'd you grow up? How many siblings you've got? What do you do for a job? What are your intentions with my friend?

Exactly. It's either that or if you can survive a round of Monopoly deal with Maddie and Ryan, then the relationship will go the distance. Well, you say that and that's exactly what happened. Right. I knew it would. We brought our board games out because Ryan and I are very serious board gamers. Yeah.

Very serious. Avid gamers and we're serious board gamers. Yeah. Very serious. Avid gamers, and we're not talking PlayStation. No, I've never dropped into a Fortnite game in my life, but I have played a number of rounds of Cluedo. He is the master of Uno Stacco. Exactly. So we literally turned up with dessert, with wine, and with a shopping bag with about four different board games to choose from. Okay.

It's a good icebreaker. It's a good way to get to know somebody. Exactly. And we went for Articulate. Have you ever played Articulate? I love Articulate. I've only played it a couple of times, but every time I've played it, I'm like, this is the greatest board game ever. It's so good.

Yeah. It's so good. Yeah. It's really good. So you get a bunch of cards with different words on them, and the idea is you try and get your teammate to guess what the word on the card is without saying the words. You're trying to explain it and describe it in different ways. Yeah. And you're trying to get through as many cards as you can, right? Yeah.

You're trying to articulate the word. There you go. God, you're clever to articulate the word there you go god you're clever i know right and so we were playing with the word on the card was articulate how would you do it you'd be like the name of this game see that's why you that's why you guys are unbeatable i'm so we're so good in fairness they gave us a run for our money but it got to a specific clue where my friend was trying to get the guy to guess what the word was. And I can't even remember what the word was that she was trying to get him to say.

So it was her to her new boyfriend? Yes. Yeah, okay. And she was saying, it's kind of like when you're staring at me, you're feeling, and he said, loving you. Well, big moment in the relationship. Huge.

And we were there for it. In the middle of Articulate. How long have these people been together? I was like, bro, this is the moment that you chose? To drop the album? To drop the album. In the middle of Articulate? And I really don't think he meant to at all.

I think the excitement and the craziness of the game got to his head. You're like, bro, you know I'm on radio and TV. You know I can't not talk about this. I so hope they'll listen to the radio right now. How did she react? Because from what you were telling me, it sounds like, it seems like they hadn't had that conversation.

They definitely hadn't. And we could spot it immediately. And he tried to brush over it very quickly. Did you let him? No. We gave it a good beat and then we kind of went, so that was a thing. And then, yeah.

Helped them work through it together? It was very quickly. What did she say? She definitely looked shocked in her face, but then he was like, keep going. He was so competitive. He didn't allow her to? No, to dwell on it.

He was like, we're winning this game at all costs, whether I've dropped an accidental album or not. He also didn't let her say it back. No, true. She might have, but I mean, you've put yourself out there in a very awkward situation. You've got to protect your feelings at that stage. I get it. I'd love to talk this afternoon about

early L-bombs. Yeah. And either you dropped it really early in the relationship and it wasn't received super well. They're like, oh, I love hanging out with you. Yeah, love spending time with you. Thank you. I love how you make me feel. I love that shirt on you.

Or vice versa, they dropped a really early album and you're like, ugh. Second Tinder date. Really? I love the food at this restaurant that I've never been to you before. Let's get them on. Let's talk about people's early albums. No matter how embarrassing they are, we can laugh about them together.

You can text your story into 9696 as well. But we really want to know this afternoon, how early did they drop the L-bomb on you? And was it reciprocated? I want to know what the word on the card was, the articulate card. Yeah, I'll try and find out for you. Loving you? Like that would be on an articulate card.

Bree and Clint. Side note, someone messaged us to say that there's a dirty version of Articulate out there, like an adults-only version of Articulate. Nikki sent me a message on Facebook and said, you have to know that there's a dirty version called Moist. She said it is unbelievable trying to explain some of these words, some of these words to your friends and family. Matty, tell me what some of the words are.

I had to Google them. I had to Google those words. No, you didn't. You knew exactly what they meant. I would not put those words into Google on the work internet. And Nicky said, I want to get it for my mum for her birthday just to watch her squirm. So we want to know,

when did you experience a very early album? Elena is here. Hi, Elena. Hi. Was it you? Did you drop an early album? Well, we kind of said it pretty much at the same time. Okay. After like a week.

A week? A week. Yeah. After like a week. A week? A week. Yeah. And it wasn't accidental? Like you said it with purpose? Yeah, no. Like we got together officially. We were together for a week, did the album.

We were engaged after four months. After four months. You said you said it at the same time, but you can't have been like, oh, jinx, personal jinx. Someone had to say it first after just a week. So who broke the ice? Who went first? I'm going to claim that he went first. And what would he claim, Alana?

Probably that I did. Yeah, exactly. Well, there you go. So when you know, you know, right? Well, I fight it, I guess. Yeah, yeah. Probably that I did Yeah Exactly Well there you go When you know you know right Well I fight it I guess Yeah Yeah Like

Engaged Got a house Married A whole lot now Oh well stop bragging about it Elena Far out I was just joking by the way You can

We're so happy for you And your love You can brag away Shit that got more awkward than the early album and the articulate game. Someone texted and said, I accidentally said I love you when we were drunk at the end of the night in McDonald's.

We'd been together for only a couple of months. A couple of months is fine. A couple of months is fine. Drunk in the McDonald's is the bit that they might get angry about. They're like, now's the time you choose to have this beautiful moment? She said,

to be honest, I'm not sure if it was him or the cheeseburger. I love you. I love you. You're like, chicken nuggets. No, no, no.

Yeah, the quarter pounder. Hi, Penny. Hello. Who dropped the early L-bomb, Penny? I did. Oh. How early? Three weeks. Oh. How early? Three weeks.

Oh. What was the circumstance? We were in the kitchen together and I did something to annoy him. And I was like, oh, I'm sorry. I love you. And then just sort of paused. And he was like, what did you just say? I'm like, nothing.

Nothing. Don't worry about it. He was like, no, no, no. Say it again. What did you just say? And did you? Or was it just like a turn of phrase? No, I said, I love you.

And then he said it back. Oh, cute. Yeah, a little bit cute. So it worked out. So it worked out. Yeah, it did. Awkward if it didn't, eh? Yeah, it would have been so awkward.

I would have been, oh, I would have left. He's been like, I would have been in with a tea towel. And he's like, first of all, I don't love you. Second of all, ouch, that really hurts. Yeah, you can eat your own dinner now. Bree and Clint. This is something I saw on your Instagram over the weekend, Maddie, how you kind of broke the internet with your bedroom habits.

Your unhygienic bedroom practices. Hey, I'm always hygienic. Thank you, Clint. And it's not what you think. But it turns out in the bedroom, Maddy's not using protection. Well, I'm a married man now, so. This is true. No, I got a married man now, so. This is true. No, I got a new beard.

Yeah. And we decided to make some content on my Instagram page about how differently Ryan and I make the beard. Yeah. Ryan is so fastidious. Ryan irons our sheets sometimes. That's too much. Isn't that way too much? That's a red flag.

Yeah. It's too late for you now, but I too much that's a red flag yeah i feel it's too late for you now but i feel like that's a red flag and he's obsessed with making it perfect hospital corners every pillow needs to be in exactly the like he was in the military he does the old um like he chops the pillows in the middle everything has to be perfect and i'm like we, mate, we're going to just end up pulling the covers back and sleeping in it anyway, as long as it looks fine. Like, as long as it's made, who cares, you know?

I'm kind of like you. I'm like, it's our bedroom. Who's going to see it? Exactly. Yeah. But it ended up turning into something way bigger than I thought.

We kind of thought it would just be a fun little thing. Who makes the bed my way and who makes the bed Ryan's way? And all of a sudden, I was inundated with messages. I've never had a response like it on something that I put up on Instagram. It's because you missed a key element, according to some people.

Apparently. Tell us the thing that is not used when you make the bed that got people so riled up. We don't have a mattress protector. Claude's giving you the cancelled symbol. In fairness, we do have one. We just... Don't use it? We just didn't use it.

Yeah, it wasn't on the new bed. Yeah. I haven't had a mattress protector for the last two years But that's because we upgraded to a bigger bed And our old one didn't fit And then we just didn't get around to it Is it a big deal? What's the big deal?

Is it a big deal? We've got one now But is it a big deal? Claudia's looking very serious about this Are you extremely Disgusting Are you extremely pro mattress protector? Yes, of course

Why is it disgusting? Your mattress is so expensive. Yeah. Once there's stains in there, it's never coming out. What kind of stains do you think I'm getting on my mattress? I don't know.

I have lots of pets and they come in with dirty feet all the time. Oh, yeah. Blame the pets, Claude. Once that's in, that's not coming back out. See, pets are never allowed

on our bed, so we're fine. What about if you ever have food in your house? No, we don't eat in bed. No, we don't eat in bed. No, we don't eat in bed. We don't eat in bed. We truly don't. Even just like body oils when you're like sleeping.

I had the eating in bed conversation with Bree recently and she confessed to sometimes having an entire cheese platter in bed. Like her and her partner will make like a board, like a charcuterie board and get a glass of wine each and go and watch a movie in bed. That's dangerous. That sounds nice actually. It does sound nice.

It sounds lovely but dangerous. You reserve that for the hotel bed, not a movie in bed. That's dangerous. That sounds nice, actually. It does sound nice. It sounds lovely, but dangerous. You reserve that for the hotel bed, not for your own bed. You're playing with fire. You're definitely spilling something if you take it in. Forget the magic detector. You need a tarp at that stage. Isn't that what the fitted sheet is for? No.

That's just a piece of fabric. Let's check with Gen Z producer Ella. Are you in a double bed yet, or are you still in the king single? My room's too small, so I'm in a king single. You're in a king single? That was a joke but I'm not surprised that you are. You don't wash your pyjamas but do you use a mattress protector? Yes, I do because Claudia's right.

Your body oils. Actually, yeah, I should have clicked washing pyjamas then but I have a mattress protector for that reason she's got an oily body but she didn't wash her pajamas i didn't think about it she's like they're waterproof no they're coated in oil anyway i saw your dms that you shared and people were triggered turns out the mattress protector it's that's the thing it's the hot button issue of 2023. Take it to the election. If Christopher Luxon or Chris Hipkins can legislate mattress protectors, they'll be in with a grin. They'll win in a landslide.

They might unify the country. Don't get us started on the fact that Matty didn't use a valent at the bottom of his bed. Oh, God. Double cancelled. You're not sleeping with no Holly Valent at the bottom of his bed. Oh, God. Double cancelled. You're not sleeping with no Holly Valance at the bottom of your bed. See, this is what happens when you let more people into your bedroom. It just ends in disaster.

Bree and Clint. It is country fest up in here. You've got to be careful how you say that. Yeehaw. That's Morgan Wallen. It's called Last Night. Georgia, who is the biggest cowgirl you've ever seen. She's country music to decor.

Said Morgan Wallen's coming and that song slaps, baby. Is that how she said it? Did she say that song slaps, baby? Yeah, straight from her country mouth. Really got to enunciate when you're saying things like that. Hey, that's our show And that's the last of you on the show for a little bit Maddie, you've been filling in for a couple of weeks And now Bree's going to be back tomorrow

So we'll see you next week So we'll set you free to Hawke's Bay To pick up the next broadcast that you were a part of I'm so hard working, my god I know No, it's honestly been so much fun I love coming and hanging out with you guys and hanging out with the listeners as well. This is very

very fun. So easy, easy job for me to do. We love having you on the show. You're always welcome back anytime and we are getting you on when you're back in Auckland to go head to head with Bree in a What's the Plot rom-com special. To see once and for all who's the

real What's the Plot champion when it comes to rom-coms. I'm ready for it. Bring it on. I also really hope Brie found love on Naked Attraction. Oh, please. At last, right? She must have been looking for a throuple because I just saw her in Woman's Day. It says she's happily coupled up already.

Yeah, right. Yeah. Do they do throuple? What? I'm sure she'll tell us in good time. Exactly. When she's ready. When the time is right.
