The ZM Podcast Network. Alright, let's do this, baby!
Welcome to the Brianne Clift Show.
Who did that? It was like you doing that with your mouth.
It was not her mouth.
Oh, I've got something to talk about.
Have a guess, Clift, the song that Ella struggled to know the name of
slash has she even heard it before?
Gimme, Gimme, Gimme by Ebba.
Oh, gimme, gimme, gimme your man.
Claudia, can you bring the song up?
Do you want me to put it on here?
Yeah.
Oh, I got it.
Right.
Oh, really?
No.
Brie nearly fired me.
I nearly fainted.
I couldn't believe it.
How disrespectful.
She eventually did come around.
In my defence, I'm not good with names or song titles or movie titles.
Even actresses' names and actors' names.
What happens in the chorus? What happens in the chorus
of this song?
R-E-S-P-E-C-T.
Okay, alright.
That was good.
But when I started playing it
from the start,
it took you a while
to realise what song
it was, fair?
Yep.
But she did.
She did quote the chorus.
How dare you be 21
and not have heard
every song in the world yet?
I mean, Bree's honestly
mad at everyone I don't know.
Yeah, this one was one of the worst.
Who's it by?
It's so disrespectful that you don't know.
She's joking.
She's joking.
She's joking.
Are you joking?
Yeah.
Let's talk about how global warming isn't real.
Aretha Franklin.
Thank you.
And you're trying to stir her up now.
We also learned this about Ella today, that she is very easily triggered.
Oh, don't do this.
She just gets fired up about anything.
It's because at the moment I'm living at home and my two younger sisters wind me up all the time.
And so when I get to work, I'm like triggered.
Because I say bring back plastic straws are you and i this is actually i'm actually wait i'm actually
being serious for a second go i fucking hate paper straws i fucking hate them have you seen those
places that are super trendy and they're using pasta straws i would argue that that's worse
that is worse but paper straws it I would argue that that's worse.
That is worse.
But paper straws, it doesn't work.
You need to come up with something else.
You try being a turtle with a plastic straw in your nose.
You try that. I've seen one video of a turtle with a plastic straw.
You've never seen one.
Yeah, it's in the ocean.
I've seen lots of plastic on the beach.
I'm not saying that I want to bring back plastic straws,
but I'm saying...
Do you want me to get you a metal straw?
But I'm saying we need to come up
with something better than paper straws.
What I was saying to Ella earlier was that
veganism is actually worse for
the planet because of the intensive
fertilisation they're using to grow all these
plants. The nitrogen runoff
is extreme. It's polluting the waterways.
You should stop eating vegetables then.
If you're so concerned. Well, I stopped years agoways. You should stop eating vegetables then. You're so concerned.
Well, I stopped years ago, to be honest.
I never started. To save the planet.
What else?
Are you done? This is this job,
eh? We just pick on each other.
Wendy Houston's not like, she's alright.
She's okay.
You know, I mean, you know who's worse?
Harry Styles.
See, you lose at this game every time.
Don't say that about Harry.
Sorry, Harry Styles.
Everything we're saying is to wind you up and you fall into the trap.
No, I'm just defending it.
I'm standing up for what I believe in.
Go on, get her with something else.
Women shouldn't have the vote.
Okay, you went
You fired, I'm firing you
You went too far
I'm just saying it to wind her up though
Now I'm on your side, Ellen
Yeah, we're all triggered
See ya
You cancelled
You guys are so easy
Oh man, all I had to do was take the vote off you
Obviously, I'm kidding
Let's start the podcast

They're also in Christchurch.
Welcome to the show, Tate.
G'day, Tate.
Hello, how are you?

Good luck.
All right, here we go, guys.
Question number one.
Our national rugby and soccer teams are both playing
at Eden Park this weekend.

from a free kick worth?
Tradie.
Yes, Tate.
Yep, it's one.
It is, of course, one point.
All right, one to the tradies.

We'll go with Shreya.
Mate, do you have an answer?
Blue.
Yeah, it's blue.
Tate.
No, Tate, where were you?
You didn't answer in time. Where did you go, Tate?
We lost you.
Tate, are you you? You didn't answer in time. Where did you go, Tate? We lost you. Tate, are you there?
Oh, no.
Where's she gone?
Tate!
I don't think Tate can hear us.
Have you put us on hold, Tate?
Well, he hasn't because we can hear him.
Is there like some crazy delay going on with Tate or something?
Oh, no.
I'm still here.
Does he think we've lost Sherea, but we've actually lost him.
Let's try one more, and if it works, it works.
If it doesn't, we'll deal with that.
What's our scores?
Wait, let's just check.
One all.
Tate, is your name Tate?
Training.
No, Pete.
Pete.
Oh, my God.

Sorry, I thought you were saying Kate.
No, that makes sense, Pete.
I'm Sharia.
Yeah, we know you're Sharia.
Oh my God.
Okay, is it one all?
It's one all.
Okay, we're good.

Question number three. Oh, that's. All right, guys. Here we go. Question number three.
Oh, that's made my day, guys.
Nice work.
The Balinese government wants Kiwis to live and work from Bali,
and if you do, you won't have to pay any income tax.
Name a place in Bali.
Tradie.
Yes, Pete.
Pete.
Tutah.
Nice work.
Two to the tradies, one to the ladies.
Question number four.
When it comes to hair care, what do the letters GHD stand for?
GHD.
Pete's like, I've got no hope with this one.
The H stands for hair.
The H stands for hair.
I'll give you that.
GHD. I don't think anyone's going hope for this one. The H stands for hair. The H stands for hair. I'll give you that. G-H-D.
I don't think anyone's going to get that one.
We were looking for good hair day is what it stands for,
which makes a lot of sense, doesn't it?
All right, guys, buzz in.
Question number five, when you can tell me who sings this song.
Katie?
Yes, Pete, for the win.
Katie Peary.
He's done it.
He started the game as Tate.
He finished the game as Pete, but it doesn't matter.
You're the victor, Pete.
Congratulations.
50 bucks, Pete.
Nice one.
Thanks very much.
What a bloody loser.
Sorry about that, Pete.
We don't know where Tate came from.
Pete's like, I wonder why Tate's not answering them.
When I heard his name was, when I heard he was 59,
I was like, there's no 59-year-olds called Tate.
Well, we just thought us deaf as a paste.
We did.
Oh, well, you're the winner.
Congrats.
It's all thanks to KFC.
Bree and Clint, ZM.
See you, Pete.
Bree and Clint.
Have you guys ever heard of the term active couch potato?
No, that's a made-up thing.
Anyone?
Active couch potato.
It's a term.
Is that that thing?
I've seen this on those infomercials where they have that little pedal system
so you're sitting on the couch,
but you're cycling while you're sitting on the couch.
I have that pedal system.
Do you?
Yeah, I got it passed down from my nonna.
She used to pedal and watch Days of Our Lives
And how ripped was your nonna?
She was so ripped. Yeah, she was
you know. She had that Lance
Armstrong physique. She was Jim Tan
laundry, that was her kind of vibe.
I know the vibes. It's a real term
actually, well people are saying
now, scientists have pretty
much made this phrase
up because, let me ask you just two more questions.
Yeah.
Who here, producers included, work out for 30 minutes a day?
Oh, me?
Does walking the dog count?
Yeah.
It does count.
Oh, yeah.
Okay, yep.
Does it?
Yeah, it does.
It does.
Walking the dog does count.
It's 30 minutes of activity.
So, I would say I do that.
I definitely walk.
I walk my dog, dog, dog.
I walk my dog for an hour a day.
So I'd be in that category.
You see these dogs in your yard.
Get out of here, dog.
What up, dog?
Anyway, so do you also spend the rest of your time, would you say, sitting, watching TV?
Yeah. Not doing anything watching TV? Yeah.
Not doing anything really active?
Yeah, I think so, yeah.
Pretty much a lot of people, I think.
Yeah, you bang out the exercise and then you feel good about just...
Exactly.
Yeah.
Well, I've got some bad news.
Apparently, if you answered yes to both those questions,
then you meet the definition of what scientists are calling an active couch potato.
Oh, God.
That doesn't sound good.
The news gets worse.
It means that despite your commitment to exercise, you could be at risk for a variety of health
problems according to a new sweeping study, which is not great news.
So what you're essentially saying is 30 minutes of activity is not enough.
That's what this study is saying.
So what they did was they got more, I think they got about 4,000 people from Finland.
And they found out that they exercise, if you exercise for half an hour a day,
but then the rest of the time you're sitting and pretty much not doing anything,
that your blood sugar, cholesterol and body fat were all elevated.
So you're telling me, so when I read this study,
I was like, so you're telling me that what I've been doing,
which is the bare minimum, is not good enough.
Is that what you're telling me?
You want me to do more?
Well, I'm just pissed off because there was that whole ad campaign
on TV with the song and the pig and the trolley. Remember they're like, 30 minutes a day, you've got to push play. Well, I'm just pissed off because there was that whole ad campaign on TV with the song and the pig and the trolley.
Remember, they're like,
30 minutes a day,
you've got to push play.
Yeah.
And we did it.
And then we went back
to the couch.
We work.
So, like,
how do we get around that?
We ask Ross Boss
for like a treadmill.
Sometimes I walk to the kitchen.
Yeah, there you go.
And then I walk back
from the kitchen.
Yeah, sometimes I walk
to the fridge.
I think we should all
get standing desks.
No.
Or the walking treadmills.
Or yoga balls. I think I'd rather
have high cholesterol. First COVID, now
standing desks. What next?
What else will they take from us?
Why even release the results
of that study? Keep it to yourself.
I'll just die early, it's alright.
That's lewd and matterfix Big City Life.
What's he going to remix next?
Do you ever find yourself wondering that late at night?
You're just lying in bed and you're like,
I wonder what Lude is going to remix next.
Man, I Feel Like a Woman.
Great idea.
That would be awesome.
Drum and bass, Man, I Feel Like a Woman.
It would pop off.
Let's go, girls.
Yep, that'll work. Yep, cool. Okay, well, problem solved like a woman. It would pop off. Let's go, girls. Boom, tick-a-tack, boom, tick-a-tack, boom, tick.
Yep, that'd work.
Yep, cool.
Okay, well, problem solved. So good.
Maybe we should get in before lewd.
This is a cost of living story.
Ugh, the cost of living.
Ugh, I'm sick of hearing it.
Almost as sick as I am of paying for it.
It's frickin' meant away.
It's so bad.
Good that gas isn't $3.50 anymore, but it's still
bloody expensive. I avoid
getting petrol as long
as I can. Bree's started
whacking her car into neutral
and just rolling to work. I haven't
used the air conditioner for six months.
Well, summer's coming.
In the UK,
they're heading into winter and they're about
to experience an 80%
Price hike for power
80%
Have you guys noticed that your water bill
Is out of control at the moment?
No
We don't know what's going on with our water bill
It might have a leaky tap
It's out the gate
Do you reckon what?
I think it's like 3 times the price Yeah you got a leaky tap. Do you reckon, what? Like an extra, I think it's like three times the price.
Yeah, you got a leaky tap, mate.
You got a leaky tap for sure.
Can that do that?
Yeah.
Oh, jeez.
I need to check that then.
Look for a puddle.
Anyway, in the UK, 80% price rise in power,
which means a $200 a month power bill will become $360.
That's outrageous.
So there's a trend over there at the moment called extreme penny pinching.
Okay.
Which is like the most frugal way of living And I want to run these things past you
And you tell me if you could do any of these
Extreme penny pinching measures
Stop trying to get me on board the family cloth
I'm not doing it
No, family cloth, reusable toilet paper is not on here
Okay, good
But there is a toilet paper thing.
Of course there is.
Okay.
Or one ply.
Yeah, actually, let's start with that.
You split your two ply in two and you get two rolls of one ply.
Which I feel like is defeatist because you're going to have to use twice as much toilet paper to get the thickness that you require.
Well, maybe.
I mean, it might work for wheeze, not poos.
Yeah.
You know?
Your finger will go straight through it.
That's what I mean.
And then you're going to have to pay for therapy because of that.
Okay.
So we're saying no to one-ply toilet paper?
Yeah, not a fan.
No, thank you.
Not a fan.
Reuse your tea bags.
I did not know this.
I've always heard reusing tea bags as a joke,
but apparently you can get two to three drinkable cups of tea out of one bag.
My nan, RIP up in heaven, I am hearing you say to me,
see, I told you so.
Was she a teabag reuser?
Yeah, she used to have-
Was she a double dunker?
She used to have eight cups of tea a day.
Yeah.
And she would always use her tea bags twice.
Well, she would need to.
Jesus Christ, her tea bill would be out of control.
Black tea with four sugars.
So you don't have to hang them on the line either, the tea bags.
Just leave them in the cup and pour another thing of hot water on top of it.
Good to go.
Okay, we're on board with that.
I'm on board with that one.
Make your own cleaning products.
There's a recipe that uses five ingredients,
which is tap water, vinegar, dishwashing liquid,
eucalyptus oil, and three teaspoons of bicarbonate soda.
It's meant to be as good, if not better, than store-bought stuff.
Would you clean your toilet with a homemade cleaner?
Absolutely.
All right, we're on board with that.
Why not?
Water down your shampoos and conditioners.
Apparently, you can get two bottles out of one,
depending on which one you use, if you just water down your shampoos and conditioners. Apparently, you can get two bottles out of one, depending on which one you use,
if you just water down your shampoo and conditioner.
See, I always think this when you get right down to the bottom
and you're like,
oh, I've got to get at least four more washes out of this.
So you put a bit of water in.
Yeah.
And it's actually a better consistency.
And it's fine, right?
Yeah, it's fine.
Okay, well, we're on board with that.
Not a bad one.
Not a bad one.
The last one, shower with your flatmates.
I already do that. You know, just... Yeah. Not a bad one. The last one, shower with your flatmates.
I already do that.
You know.
Yeah.
Well, you do.
I do that. Yeah, you're sleeping with your landlord, so you do that.
Yeah, I am.
That also is good for, you know, paying less rent.
Sleep with your landlord.
Sleep with your landlord.
That was a good one as well.
I might have made up the showering with your flatmates one,
but I mean you've got to do what works, right?
You've got to do what it takes.
But if you need to use that when you get back home tonight,
then just don't mention that.
And don't blame us.
Yeah.
Don't blame us.
We're not involved.
Whatever happens to the flat, we don't want to know.
You don't know about your shared showers or your one-ply toilet paper.
Imagine flat meeting, guys.
So, look, the water bill is
going up, so we're going to have to start showering
together. Shotgun
Sandra.
Brian Clint from iHeartRadio.
This is the latest
live from LA with
Dean McCarthy. Dean, a model
has come out on TikTok and said she
had a lengthy affair
with married Adam Levine from Maroon 5.
She did, just in the wake of the announcement
that he's pregnant with his third child
to the stunning Behati Prinslow.
This woman has come forward and she said
that they had like a year-long affair.
She's shown the receipts, alleged receipts.
They could be, you know, computed.
You could do that on Facetune if you're, you know,
half good at it.
But basically it shows the conversations between them where, you know, he's like, oh,
you're so hot.
You're even hotter in person.
She alleges they had this on again, off again thing for over a year.
And he recently slid in the DMs again.
And then she went on about why she wanted to out him something about, I don't know.
Fame.
Really, she just wanted, yeah, she just wanted TikTok followers, you know.
So, like, do we believe her? I don't know. I mean,, she just wanted TikTok followers. So do we believe her?
I don't know.
I mean, anyone can kind of make that up.
Adam Levine's team have not responded in any way.
And like I said, he's ready for his third child.
But I have another Adam Levine story to tell you.
Adam Levine has seen me in my underwear.
Really?
Adam Levine has seen me in my underwear.
I used to live with a girl
who dated James from Maroon 5.
Okay.
And I came down at 3 a.m.
in the morning
and I was hearing a kerfuffle,
a kerfuffle down in the kitchen.
I'm like, what's going on?
I come down in my underwear
and there's Adam Levine,
James,
the hearty friend of mine
and my old roommate
sitting in the kitchen
having shots.
We lived in CeeLo Green's house, and I rented this room.
Basically, it was a cupboard.
I literally lived in the cupboard.
It was so small.
It was so expensive.
But I was in Hollywood Hills.
I was like, yeah, this is fabulous.
And, yeah, that is the story of Adam Levine.
Dean, that is wild.
How have you never told us this story?
We've been talking to you for four years,
and we didn't know this story about you.
You were living in CeeLo Green's house,
and Adam Levine was having shots in your lounge? Are you sure you just weren't doing a bit of the old hoochie-cooch marijuana and you've
drank all this?
Wow.
No, I wish.
I wish.
He's very connected.
I'm so sorry.
We believe you.
I did not have an affair with him.
No, I was going to say, is that the next thing?
Okay, good.
But he's sitting in a stick.
Okay, good. Good to know. That that the next thing? Okay, good. He's sitting in a stick. Okay, good to know.
That's the latest live out of Los Angeles
with our Hollywood correspondent, Dean McCarthy.
Can we all agree that airports are very stressful places?
Yes.
They are.
You're tired.
You've probably been sitting down for 15 hours
if you're on long-haul flights.
You want to spend as little time as possible in an airport,
but the safest thing to do is be there as early as possible.
Yeah, especially when you get off a flight.
You're not in a good mood.
No, and you're not thinking straight.
You're often dehydrated and tired.
It's true, which is what I'm going to put it down to.
I mean, there's a lot of factors in this story,
but there's video footage that is captured the moment a huge
brawl has broken out at a Manchester airport over lost luggage.
Yeah.
But look, listen to the situation.
So apparently this all went down on Sunday night following a delayed flight from Amsterdam.
Right. So the flight was meant to get in at 10.20pm.
Yep.
But it arrived at 11.45pm.
Right.
So it was already quite late.
It was a very short flight.
Very short flight.
But anyway, they get to the baggage carousel and they're all standing there waiting for
their bags.
And apparently one of the passengers was handed a piece of paper telling them that due to unforeseen operational challenges, it meant that their luggage could not be offloaded in a timely manner and there was no clear indication as to when they would receive or be sent their luggage to their chosen places.
That's very frustrating at 11.45 at night to be told your bag's not coming out.
I get that.
Yeah, so it's all due to a ground staff strike
at Amsterdam airport.
So all their luggage is back in Amsterdam.
Oh, their luggage didn't even get on the plane.
I don't believe so.
So it is a big struggle.
They just had this exact issue with,
you know how Air New Zealand have just started
flying to New York again?
Over the weekend they launched that flight.
We talked about it last week.
Long haul.
17 hours, 16 hours, 17 hours or something.
Yeah.
Bunch of the passengers' bags didn't make it onto the plane.
Really?
So they're all the way in New York City and their bags didn't make it.
That's a bad time.
And I didn't know planes could do this.
If they're predicting they need more fuel for the flight, like if there's bad weather and they know they're going to need more fuel,
they just take some bags off.
Do they?
Yeah.
Oh, Devo, it's your bag.
Yeah.
How do you decide whose bag gets taken off?
I don't know.
Maybe if you have a really obnoxiously coloured bag.
Yeah, or badly packed bag.
Yeah, so that's why everyone has black suitcases, you know,
because they're all just kind of plain.
Gutted to get on holiday and not have your luggage with you.
It'd just be so frustrating because that's everything that you need.
It is the worst situation possible.
Remember I told you my sister and her new husband for their honeymoon
went and did Route 66 and they got to LA.
It's not 69.
Oh, I heard you wrong.
Sorry.
Yeah, could have been the other way around. It was their honeymoon. it's not 69 oh I heard you wrong sorry yeah um yeah
could have been the other way around
uh
it was their honeymoon
but
got to LA
and her luggage was nowhere to be seen
yeah gutted
for your honeymoon too
you want to look cute
you want to pick all your honeymoon outfits out
but you think about it
if you
if your luggage doesn't arrive
and even if you've got travel insurance
and you can go and buy new stuff
you have to get
socks
undies
bras pants shirts warm clothes going out clothes, hair
products, face products, makeup, bloody toothbrush, toothpaste, everything.
Yeah, literally everything.
I feel like it's a really bad situation.
Shoes.
You have to buy shoes.
Especially for a woman because none of your makeup or anything
is in that bag.
Everything is in that bag.
Oh yeah,
that list was for girls.
The guys list.
Man,
if you're a guy
and you lose your bag,
you have to buy
a t-shirt,
a pair of undies
and some shorts.
Sweet.
Sweet.
Pretty good to go.
Hey,
I thought we could
take calls this afternoon.
I wait 100 dials at M
or you can text us
on 9696.
Tell us about a situation where you lost your baggage.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Where were you?
How inconvenient was it?
And maybe you didn't get it back.
And when I say you lost your luggage, let's be real, it was probably going to be the airline.
Or you might have lost it.
Or you could have lost it.
You might have left it somewhere.
But probably mainly the airline.
0800 dials at M.
Text them to 9696.
Share it with us this afternoon.
Remember when you just left your bag at the airport?
Oh yeah, I drove home.
Yeah.
Didn't even realise it?
Bree and Clint.
Have you lost your luggage on a trip before?
And how bad was it?
You reminded me that I drove home without my bag that time.
That's so weird.
Yeah.
To leave the airport, get in your car and leave
without thinking about the bag. And it's not like I got halfway
home and I went, shit, my bag. I went to
a party, like carried
on with my life. Totally did not recognise that
you left your bag at the airport. My phone rang.
Yeah. Hi, it's
Air New Zealand. Did you leave a bag
on the carousel at Auckland Airport?
Yep, I did that. Yeah, I'll
come back and get that.
Yeah.
Yeah, do, please.
It's not really a cool thing to do.
I don't know if we'll get similar situations, but let's see.
Let's talk to Jamie.
G'day, Jamie.
G'day, Brie.
How you going?
Good, thank you, mate.
Have you lost your luggage before?
Yeah, I have.
Where?
I caught a flight from Christchurch to Nelson,
and baggage mishand through on the baggage machine,
goes to the plane and get to Nelson to find out where's my luggage,
ring up, find out it's in Antwerp, Dargill.
So you went up the South Island and your bag went down the South Island?
Yeah, sure did.
Hey, Jamie, this is quite similar to yours.
Someone texted her and said,
years ago my dad flew home on a domestic flight from Nelson to Dunedin.
His luggage never arrived and the airline couldn't figure out what had happened.
Three weeks later it turned up and apparently it had been to LA and back.
What? Yeah.
Wow.
The luggage just wanted to trip.
If the airline sent my baggage to LA,
I'd be like, send me to collect it.
Right?
It really inconvenienced me.
Send me to Los Angeles.
I need to go personally collect it.
And I will go and get that bag.
Much like you, AJ,
when you were like, send me to Invercargill.
I need to go.
Yeah, yeah.
That was two and a half days,
and then I got it back.
Yeah, right.
Oh, you poor bugger.
That bag has seen some things.
Let's talk to Michael.
G'day, Michael. Hello, Michael. Hi, Clint. Oh, you poor bugger. That bag has seen some things. Let's talk to Michael. G'day, Michael.
Hello, Michael.
Hi, Clint.
Hi, Bree.
Tell us, Michael, where did you lose your luggage?
Well, it was on a family trip.
We got off at the bus stop in Mexico,
and our family got a taxi to go to our hotel.
We went 40 minutes out, found out it was the wrong hotel, and found out that the correct hotel
was two minutes down the road from the
bus stop. But when we
got to the proper hotel, we found out my sister had lost her camera
and some paintings she had bought, like a really expensive camera.
And so her and my dad basically went back
to the original hotel we'd gone to,
thinking that was the correct hotel,
and then went to the taxi depot to pick it up.
So they'd gone and, yeah,
so there was a good few hectic hours of going,
where is this?
Did you get your stuff back?
Where was the bag then, Michael?
Did you get your stuff back?
Yeah, we got the stuff back, but it was from going into the taxi depot and asking them.
Right.
So they got lost within the taxi organization.
And that's scary.
It's scary in another country, especially when you don't speak the language.
I get that.
Yeah. That's freaky. You would be a bit worried about that. Sarah's here. G country, especially when you don't speak the language. I get that.
That's freaky.
You would be a bit worried about that.
Sarah's here.
G'day, Sarah.
Hi, Sarah.
Hey, how are you doing?
Good, lost luggage.
What happened to you?
So it was my first time overseas and we were going to Argentina for my dad's school reunion.
Lovely.
And we flew to Iguazu and so there was 11 of us, and 10 bags came off, and not mine.
No, Sarah! Right, okay, yeah.
Yeah, so I had to wait about three days, I think, at once to get it back, and in the
meantime, I got quite sick and had to go to hospital.
Oh my God.
I had to get like a jab in my butt to stop me from throwing up.
Oh my God.
Oh, Sarah, you've had a bad first trip overseas, haven't you?
Iguazu, you're in Brazil at this stage, is that right?
So, yeah, Iguazu Falls.
Yeah.
But we're on the Argentinian side.
Oh, okay.
So we came out of hospital, obviously looked terrible,
and I would have been 18,
and the only clothes that fit me out of my family
were my grand clothes.
Amazing.
And so we had to do the big walk around at Glassview Falls
and we got a big family photo and I look like absolute horror
and wearing my gran's clothes.
Sorry, I've got to ask the question.
I need to ask it.
Did you wear your gran's undies?
No.
You didn't go for the granny panties?
Sarah's like, funnily enough, that was the only thing that didn't fit.
Oh, thanks, Sarah.
You'd be tempted to steal a hospital gown, I reckon.
100%.
Just wear it as a dress.
That's why I love carry-on.
If you can fit it all in that little thing and you can take it with you,
it can be a lifesaver. Always put a pair of undies in your carry-on. Yeah. can fit it all in that little thing and you can take it with you, it can be a lifesaver.
Always put a pair of undies in your carry-on.
Yeah.
Always.
And one of Nan's chemisoles.
Yep, totally.
Bree and Clint.
If you have not watched the final of RuPaul's Drag Race Down Under,
you have about five seconds to block your ears, stuff something in them,
turn the radio off, whatever it takes.
This is your spoiler alert.
Because we're about to welcome to the show
the winner of RuPaul's Drag Race 2022,
all the way from Palmerston North, it's Spanky Jackson!
Hey!
Spanky bloody Jackson, we spoke to you at the start
of this whole bloody journey.
Did you think we would be sitting here talking to you
as the winner of RuPaul's Drag Race
Season 2?
Oh, no, it's absolutely wild.
Like, who comes from Palmy does drag and then takes out a drag competition?
I mean, how wild is that?
How wild is that?
A lot of these TV shows, to keep things a secret, they film alternative endings.
Did they film all three drag queens winning?
And did you only find out on Saturday when this episode went to air?
Yeah.
So that's how they do it.
So we filmed in January and then we don't find out until literally Saturday night.
We've just been waiting that whole time.
That's cruel.
Actually not.
Like when I won House of Drag,
I knew for a whole year before it aired,
which was way harder.
Whereas this, it was like,
oh, well, whatever happens, happens.
True.
And I really didn't expect to win.
You didn't have to keep a secret.
Yeah.
Yeah, because obviously we all know,
and RuPaul knows the best,
that drag queens can't keep a secret spanking.
Right?
Hello. Seeing as you are
the second kiwi to win rupaul's drag race down under and there's only been two seasons of rupaul's
drag race down under does that mean new zealand queens are better than australian queens oh look
i wouldn't say that because i consider that i represent for both countries to be fair. I've spent 12 years of my life in Melbourne so I
wouldn't be half the drag queen I am today if it wasn't for the legends of both
New Zealand and Australia. So my drag genetic makeup comes from both
countries. You're bi-national. Yeah, well
not quite in the way that you're saying. You're a top and bottom.
Hey, I love the top and bottom and I love to wear no bottom.
As you do, as we saw on the show.
The thing I find so cool and you're just such a likeable, warm human being.
What is the reception been like back in Palmerston North that you've taken out the title?
Nobody even cares.
Nobody can even care less.
That's kind of nice though, isn't it?
Oh, it's so nice.
Honestly, I literally arrived home an hour and a half ago.
And yeah, it's nice to come home to Palmy, which is quiet.
It is separate from all of the madness.
But I did get on the plane.
And one of the ladies happened to be from Palmerston North
and she screamed and yelled
and made the whole plane clap for me
when I walked on it.
So, I mean, I've definitely made an impression in New Zealand.
I just don't know if Palmerston North watched it.
Yeah.
No, they will.
They'll get around to it.
And when they do, they will claim you 100%.
What does it mean for a queen to win a competition like this?
What will this mean that you're able to do now, Spanky Jackson,
winner of RuPaul's Drag Race Down Under?
I mean, the thing is, I was working in childcare for the last eight years,
so it was like I was already juggling drag and a full-time job.
So now I finally am able to actually go and do what I'm supposed to be doing
with my life, which is entertaining, bringing joy and love to the world
and trying to make it a better place.
Yeah, later, kids.
Yeah, later.
Sorry, kids.
Spanky's out of here.
I love that, Spanky.
I think that is such an amazing outlook to have.
You're a double-crowned winner now, baby,
and we can't wait to see you take over the world.
Palmerston North and then the world.
Woo!
I know right
And then Spanky Jackson
Winner of Rooftop
Drag Race Down Under
Oh my god
Thank you so much
You're very welcome
Thank you for joining us
We love you
We're going to come see you
When we come to Palmy
You have to come sing a song
Yeah
At karaoke night
Come
Bree and Clint
Last night
Was the funeral
Of Queen Elizabeth II.
Did you watch it?
I did watch about 20 minutes.
Yeah, it was long.
It was really long.
Yeah, I learned some pretty interesting things though.
Yeah.
Apparently the coffin that the Queen was obviously being...
Transported in.
Transported in.
Had to be fully bulletproof
and all this stuff had to be, you know, kind of in it.
How would you shoot a coffin?
Hey, mate, people do some weird stuff.
It was like, I think, 500 to 600 kilos.
Stop, she's already dead.
Yeah.
500 or 600 kilos, that thing weighed.
Really?
Yeah.
Right.
Well, there's lots of weird stuff that you see
and something like that.
There's so much tradition. Oh, my God. Did weird stuff that you see in something like that. There's so much tradition.
Oh, my God.
Did you know that Abbey, Westminster Abbey, that was built,
I heard this last night, that Abbey was built in 960.
It's 1,000 years old.
Wait, 960.
What?
960.
Things were even built back then?
Exactly right.
This is doing the rounds though.
Every country put their best and brightest presenters on this.
And they kind of acted as commentators.
Here in New Zealand we had Simon Dallow and Hilary Barry.
The creme de la creme.
Just talking about what you were seeing on the screen.
Explaining it.
Kind of trying to demystify the process.
In Australia on Channel 9 they had Peter Overton
and Tracy Grimshaw reporting.
Yes, I do know both of them.
They have gone viral for
making a bit of a whoopsie. What did they
do? Their job was basically to
commentate the funeral and say and
identify who the people were who were
walking into the service. Your Joe Bidens,
your Jacinda Ardern's, your
dignitaries. Kanye West. No, not Kanye West. Was he not invited?ens, you're Jacinda Ardern's, you're Dignity's.
No, not Kanye West.
Oh, was he not invited?
Well, if he was there, yes, identify Kanye West.
Right.
Someone quite important showed up and got out of a car
and this person even spoke at the funeral.
That's how important they were.
Okay.
In terms of their celebrity,
like where are they on the scale of how well known?
Good question.
Like are they an A, B, C, D, E, F, G?
They're new to their job, but the job they hold is extremely important.
Oh, it's the prime minister.
Have a listen to this.
Who's this?
No, hard to identify.
Maybe minor royals, members of the, I can't identify them at this point.
We can't spot everyone, unfortunately.
They look like they could well be local dignitaries.
It's hard to see.
We're looking at the backs of their heads, mate.
I'm just told that was Liz Truss, the new Prime Minister,
in the distance that we could see hopping out of that car.
Going through the doors.
Well, thank you very much.
I'm so embarrassed.
The Prime Minister
of Great Britain. What
are you two up to?
I like the way he goes, oh, it's hard for us.
We're only looking at the back of their heads. It was a
face shot. It was the Prime Minister. Was it?
She ended up speaking at the funeral.
She was like a VVVIP
at the Queen's funeral.
They weren't the only ones to have a bit of a
muck up. We've just had this one come through.
Someone caught a Paddy Gower F-bomb on the broadcast.
Really?
Yeah, I think this is quite hard to hear,
but have a listen.
This went out on New Shub last night.
Paddy Gower dropping an F-bomb
on the Queen's Funeral broadcast.
You've helped me do that.
All right, thank you, everyone.
They do know her. It was Jacinda Ardern leaving her hotel wearing a black corduroy.
She walks out into the crowd and Patti Gow goes, oh beep, they do know her.
God, I love some Patti Gow, right? He's good, eh? He's so good.
All right.
Bree and Clint.
One of the biggest stories, obviously, over the past couple of days
has been the Queen's funeral that took place last night
here in New Zealand time.
And the story about David Beckham who lined up in the line for 13 hours.
My wife, Lucy, had a buzzy thought last night because everybody was going in there to file
past the coffin and pay their respects. What if she wasn't in there?
Yeah, well, I mean, you'll never know.
Did you think about maybe she wasn't in there? Because that body had to lie in that room
for days on end. Yeah, you just don't know. It was an open casket. What if she wasn't in there? Because that body had to lie in that room for days on end.
Yeah.
You just don't know.
It was an open casket.
What if she wasn't in there?
What if she wasn't in there for the parade last night?
What if she was never in there?
What if she was already, you know?
Well, I mean, it's more, you know, the thought and people being there to pay their respects.
It doesn't really matter.
Nah, you'd be a bit ripped off if you stood in line for 13 hours
and there was nobody in there.
Yeah, I mean, I wouldn't care.
Well, you're never going to know.
Well, you're never going to know.
One woman who lined up, queued for multiple hours
in the very early hours of the morning,
was one of the people who was the last people to get cut off from the line.
Oh, no.
So, didn't make it in.
Yeah, because a bunch of people didn't.
Yeah, a lot of people.
And they started warning and they said, look, from here backwards, there's a high chance
you won't get in.
We've got a clip of this woman talking about not getting in and how she felt.
We went the wrong way.
So, if we didn't go the wrong way, we would have probably made it in time.
So absolutely gutted.
We went across the bridge rather than straight over.
So it's a shame.
But it must be.
It is frustrating.
Wait, she was queuing in the wrong direction.
Yeah.
Not my mistake.
It was a small mistake.
What was she queuing up for?
I don't know.
I think she was queuing up for the Krispy Kreme.
I've
done this before where I
have waited in queues
for a long, long time for certain
things. Yeah. Like I remember
back in the day
I queued up
to the Katy Perry concert for 12
hours so I could get
barrier. That's what they say in the concert world.
That's at the front of the stage, right?
Where you're literally the front row right at the front.
How long did you say?
12 hours.
12 hours.
See, if I queued up for 12 hours for a concert,
I'd be too exhausted to enjoy the concert.
It was a bit like that, yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, I felt very tired.
Let alone hold yourself up and fight for your position
in the front of the mosh pit.
Yeah.
And when you're like a tall person like me,
like everyone behind you is just so annoyed at you
because they're like, why are you standing on barrier?
You're ginormous.
And you're like, because I stood in line for 12 hours,
you son of a...
It was worth it though.
I was just saying to Soundkeeper Georgia,
it is one of those experiences where I mean
I did the same thing for the Ellie Goulding concert
back in the day. Man, you're a hard
out, eh? I don't... Yeah,
I spent a lot of time queuing and
the people in front of us, I'm still friends
with those people today because you spend
like, you know, these
lots of hours together. Lucky you're a big deal
celebrity now who gets free tickets and
VIP access, eh?
I wish.
I bloody wish.
I don't.
I thought we could talk to people.
Now you're a queue jumper, eh?
I wish I was.
How do I get that?
I don't know.
Have you figured it out yet?
No, I don't know.
Well, let me know if you do.
I think there's like a special door at like Spark Arena.
Is there actually?
I think there would be, yeah.
Well, if Lorde wants to go to a show,
she's not standing in the queue.
True.
You know, she couldn't.
She'd get mobbed.
Yeah, that's fair enough.
I thought we could talk to people this afternoon.
Oh, 800 dial ZM.
If you've ever queued for a really long time for something.
I haven't, but I remember we sent...
I remember that traffic jam you were in that time.
Yeah, yeah.
We sent a guy that I worked with to queue up for the new iPhone.
Oh, yeah?
How long did he wait?
We sent him three days early.
That's so mean.
Yeah, but it was for a radio stuff.
Oh, that doesn't mean anything.
He did it.
He made the news because he was the only one in the queue.
I bet he was.
It was three days out.
Everyone else was like, we've pre-ordered this online.
He was the first person in New Zealand to get the iPhone 4 or something, though.
Cool.
Oh, 800-DIAL-ZM, or you can text us on 9696.
Have you ever stood in a queue for a long time, and what was it for?
Yeah, what was worth queuing up for?
Why did you do it?
Remember you used to have to queue up for
concert tickets? That's right.
Yeah. So glad that's
not a thing anymore.
Have you loved something
so much or you wanted something
so much that you stood in a queue
for hours and hours to get it?
And was it worth it? Yeah.
Like, was Katy Perry worth
12 hours? The whole experience and you just feel like you've accomplished something
and it was worth it.
Like it's a memory I'll never forget, you know.
Would I do it again?
Oh, my back's pretty sore these days.
You're not in the 12 hours for Katy Perry stage of life anymore.
And to be honest, I had to sit down.
You don't have the stamina anymore.
I think I had to sit down like two songs from the end because I was so tired.
Let's go to Evie.
She's called up on 0800 DALS at him.
Evie, what did you queue for?
It was one night we were queuing for ACDC tickets, me and my dad.
And he actually took me down the night before with our little sleeping bag.
And we stayed out there there and there was actually quite
a few other people that stayed down
there that same night
and so we queued up. What an amazing memory.
Where were you? In Lower
Hutt at the old tickety, I can't remember
it was like on Main Street. Yeah, right.
It wasn't in the mall, it was like just out of the
But that's a fun thing that you and your dad
got to do together. That was probably
just as much fun as the ACDC concert, right?
Oh, we'd go that far.
I don't really remember the concert because I was so young,
but I definitely remember waiting for the ticket.
See, Brie?
Yeah, because it's trauma.
Camping out with your dad and a bunch of other...
You didn't want to go.
Dad wanted someone to run and get food for him every now and then,
so he took the cab.
Go get me a pie, Evie. Yeah, actually, we did, so he took the cab. Go get me a pie, Evie.
Yeah, actually, we did, so that would make sense.
Oh, good on you, Evie.
ACDC concert, I'd queue for that, 100%.
Sue Hill's called up.
Kia ora, Sue Hill.
G'day, mate.
Hey, how's it going?
Good, thank you.
What did you queue up for?
So I went to Sylvia Park.
This was in 2017.
I waited for eight hours.
So Grab a Seat had a giveaway.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
So basically, like, if you get in and win,
you get to pick one of the balls in the bucket
and then open up the ball and it tells you, like,
what you got a free flight to.
So you could go to, like, Europe, America, like...
Okay, okay, okay.
So you queued for the chance to win a free flight somewhere.
Yeah.
Okay.
Amazing.
Okay.
This is worth waiting like eight hours or whatever.
Oh, I got to know what ball you got.
Oh, it wasn't worth it.
Eight hours.
To Hamilton.
Yeah.
What did you get?
Okay.
So it was like you got to take part in this little game.
Yeah.
And the problem was that it was like a little machine that you go inside five at a time.
And in 30 seconds, there's confetti flying everywhere.
And in that 30 seconds, you have to pick a gold one.
Oh, you won nothing.
Okay, so eight hours.
You've been in the machine.
What did you win?
So there was 1,000 green ones and like a couple of gold ones.
So you've got to like pick it.
But it was really hard because it's flying so fast.
But the problem was, the funny thing was, I'm colorblind.
You're colorblind. Yes. but it was really hard because it was flying so fast. But the problem was, the funny thing was, I was colour blind. You were colour blind?
Yes.
I couldn't tell which ones were the gold ones.
No!
That is so rude.
Okay, so one more time, one more time.
You've queued for eight hours.
You've gone in the machine.
You're colour blind.
You can't see the gold things.
What did you win?
I won nothing.
Oh, Sue Hill.
Oh, you poor bugger.
When the time stopped, I looked to my friend and I was like,
do I have a gold one in my hand?
He said no.
I looked into his hand and then he said I got one.
So he won.
Oh, good.
And I didn't.
Where did he win flights to?
He got a free flight to America.
Worth it.
Oh, that's worth it.
You, not so much.
Yeah.
Hey, Suhil got a free ride to Sylvia Park.
He did.
So there's some great...
Swings and roundabouts.
Great text coming through on this.
Someone said,
I queued for 14 hours at Post Malone's last New Zealand concert
so we could get the barricade.
So worth it.
We took a shoe where we all signed the shoe before the concert
and we threw it on stage.
He saw it, picked it up, poured beer into it and did a shoeie.
See, for a Post Malone fan, that would be worth it.
That's amazing.
That's Micah.
And here's probably my favourite text of today.
Someone's text through and they said,
I was in line for over three hours waiting for the Mary-Kate
and Ashley Olsen merch to drop at the warehouse.
I was about 10 at the time.
Now, that is commitment from that 10-year-old.
Yeah.
Isn't it?
Did they get it?
I'm assuming they did.
I'm assuming they did.
Yeah, right.
Job done.
Eden, finally, you queued up for something.
What was it?
So I went to a Billie Eilish concert in 2018.
It was the Tuning Fort right next to Spark Arena.
Yes.
And me and my friend got there at like 10 a.m. on the day,
which isn't very long, but then we saw her pull up to the venue
and she threw a cookie down at all of us.
Whoa.
It was pretty cool.
What type of cookie?
I think it was an Oreo.
Yeah.
Okay.
But then afterwards, after the concert finished,
loads of people left.
We stuck around for like an hour, and she came out afterwards
and she met all of us, and we got to give her our drawing,
which was pretty good.
Worth it.
Pretty good.
Pretty worth it, Eden.
Love that.
Very worth it.
You know a story that's not worth it is the person who said, I waited in line for the
Scooby-Doo ride at Movie World for five hours.
We finally got to the front and the ride had broken down.
Oh, five hours.
Can you?
I would never wait that long. Scooby-Doo ride's pretty good. I mean, it is good, but is it five hours of going? It's, five hours. Can you? I would never wait that long.
Scooby-Doo ride's pretty good.
I mean, it is good, but is it five hours of your life good?
No, nothing for me is five hours.
Honestly, nothing is five hours good.
Shaggy, the ride is broken.
Bree and Clint.
Hey.
It's my birthday.
It's my birthday.
Bree and Clint's Birthday Banger.
Part of the reason is this segment right here, birthday banger.
We do it at the same time every day.
Your birthdays, and we figure out what was the song top in the charts
on your 16th birthdays, and then we play one of those songs.
Amber is here.
Hi, Amber.
Hi, Amber.
Hello.
Hello, Amber.
Where are you calling us from, Amber?
From Auckland.
Ah. Lovely. How's your day been, Amber. Where are you calling us from, Amber? From Auckland. Ah.
Oh, lovely.
How's your day been, Amber?
Oh, it was all good till I just hit a traffic.
Classic Auckland, am I right?
Classic Auckland.
Boo.
We wouldn't have this problem, you know, in Nelson, would we?
Good.
Good regional reference.
I like it.
Crushed it.
Yeah.
Okay, Amber, what's your birthday?
12th December December 1990.
All right, Amber, you were 16 in 2006.
And on your 16th birthday, this would have been number one.
I don't feel like dancing, dancing.
I'm giving up my time, that's the best I do.
I don't feel like dancing, dancing.
I can break it down when I'm coming to the moon.
Sisters, sisters.
Sisters.
And I don't feel like dancing. Amber, what do you think? Do you like it? Scissors Sisters. Scissors Sisters.
And I don't feel like dancing.
What do you think?
Do you like it?
I think it's good when you're cleaning the house and you're dancing alone.
It's got a place.
It's a bit of fun.
I don't mind a bit of Scissors Sisters.
I'll bet you don't.
Let's move on to Lexi.
Hi, Lexi.
G'day, Lexi.
Hi, how are you?
Good. How's your day been, Lexi?
Not too bad. Not going to lie.
Are you on your way home?
Yes, stuck on the northern.
Oh, not you too, Lexi.
We wouldn't have this problem if we lived in Rutsuruwa.
Good way, eh, Lexi?
Good local reference.
They probably have traffic too.
Good point. That's a very good point. You would. They probably have traffic too. True, good point.
It's a very good point.
Yeah, good point.
You should have went smaller, like Kaitaia or something.
Yeah, Kaitaia.
Yes, yes, Lexi's on board.
All right, Lexi, what's your birthday?
The 10th of September, 1996.
All right, that means you were 16, Lexi, in 2012.
Actually, you would have traffic in Rotorua.
Thanks, Lexi.
It's kind of a small city now. I don't know if you know that claim. Hey, Lexi. It's kind of a small city now.
I don't know if you know that claim.
Hey, Lexi, here's your birthday banger.
Let me love you.
A heart of darkness.
There's quite the line.
I'll take you there.
Banger.
Neo and Let Me Love You.
Do you like it, Lexi?
Come on, Lexi.
It's so banger.
Like, 60. Yes. We love you. Do you like it, Lexi? Come on, Lexi. It's a true banger.
Like, 60...
Yes.
It's ruined that kind of vibe.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Whatever Lexi said, that is such a banger.
One more for Sharon.
G'day, Shazza.
G'day, Shaz.
Hi.
How are you, Sharon?
Yeah, not too bad.
Good to hear.
Some of Bree and I's favourite people are named Sharon,
so I've got high hopes for your birthday banger today, Sharon.
I don't know.
Sharon, we are messing. We might not even have a record.
I'm going to put $100 on the fact that I love your birthday banger.
If I hate it, I'll give you $100.
Yep, you're on.
Damn.
All right, let's do it, Sharon.
What's your birthday?
10th of the 1st of any civil.
All right, that means you were 16 in 1993.
And let me take you back to your 16th birthday
because this would have been number one.
Now, Sharon, I don't know...
How could you not like the Queen of Soul?
I don't know if you know this,
but I named my dog after Whitney Houston.
That's how much I love her.
Well, there you go.
Bad news is, Sharon, you now owe Brie $100.
That was the deal.
Just kidding, just kidding, just kidding.
Wait there, we need a vote on this.
I know I should pick Whitney.
I kind of want to choose Neo.
I do like that Neo song.
I really like it, but I'm going with Sharon and Whitney Houston.
I can't go past.
I'm going to split the vote.
Just to keep things interesting, I'm going to go Neo and Let Me Love You,
and we're going to give it to producer Claude to decide on this one.
Claude, what's the winner of Birthday Banger?
You can also have a Scissor Sister if you want.
We're actually in agreement in the producer's booth here.
We're giving it to Neo.
Okay.
Sorry, Brie.
Brie's mad.
Oh, she's so mad.
You didn't have to chuck in the...
Can I change my vote?
You didn't have to chuck in the three-on-one thing.
To be honest, it's not your guy's fault.
Clint started it, so...
Look, both are good songs, okay?
Lexi. Don't put
Neo, I mean I love that
song, in the same category.
Hey, this is Lexi's moment, okay? Sorry, Lexi.
I'm so pumped for you.
With a 3-1 majority, you've just won Birthday Banger.
Congratulations.
It's the best song.
Would you have rathered Whitney Houston? Actually, don't
answer that. I don't need any more trauma.
Blame yourself, you can't be blamed for the way that you feel.
Had no example of a love that was even remotely real.
Bree and Clint.
I, I'll make you laugh.
Love you. ZM, Brian Clint
workout in the studio
that's the winner of Birthday Bang and Neo
taking down the Scissor Sisters and Whitney Houston.
Bree's not happy.
I'm sad.
Because we didn't play Scissor Sisters?
Mainly Whitney, but also Scissor Sisters.
What have you got against Neo?
Nothing against Neo.
I love that song.
But Whitney Houston is just a song you would never hear on ZM
and I like to, you know, change it up.
We've never not chosen that song when it's come up in birthday day.
That's why.
It's the end of an era.
Producer Ben would have always had my back.
Oh, RIP producer Ben.
RIP Ben.
Not dead.
Just gone.
Just dead to us.
Brian Clint.
National Academy of Sciences, which is a group of scientists from the University of Hong Kong,
have worked out how many ants there are on Earth.
Yeah, this is an interesting one because how would you count all the ants?
One by one.
This is the question.
It's impossible.
How would you count all the ants in their little ant. This is the question. It's impossible. How would you count all the ants in their little ant farms?
I knew you were going to ask this.
And their little burrows down in the sand?
The way they worked out the number is very complicated and boring,
so we're not going to talk about it.
No, I need to know.
Give me the layman's terms.
They went to an area in different parts of the earth,
like a bunch of different locations
and they mapped off, I don't know,
a certain area and they
counted the ants in that area
and then they multiplied it by the landmass
of the earth. That's pretty basic math actually.
Yeah. Yeah. Don't get
bogged down in that bit, okay? They're confident
that they're correct with this number. Are they?
Stop fact checking my ant news!
I don't know if I'm confident, but anyway I'm still keen they're correct with this number. Are they? Stop fact-checking my ant news. I don't know if I'm confident.
But anyway, I'm still keen to hear what these scientists...
Don't say scientists like that.
They're real scientists.
Sorry, these scientists have to say.
The total number of ants burrowing and buzzing on the Earth
came to a whopping total of nearly 20 quadrillion.
20 quadrillion?
20 quadrillion, quadrillion 20 quadrillion which is a real number but i know that that's
not comprehensible so it's 20 000 trillion ants oh yeah that's i can wrap my head around that way
easier okay it's a two you know how a million is one with six zeros after it? Yep.
How many zeros?
Is it?
It is eight.
Yeah, one with six zeros.
20 quadrillion.
How many zeros?
It's a two with 16 zeros after it.
Wow.
That's how many ants there are.
That's a lot of zeros.
And you know what I've just thought about?
You know if the ants figured this out.
They'd rise up.
And they all got together.
As soon as that happens, we're gone.
I haven't seen an ant's tale.
Is that what that's, or a bug's life.
Is that what that's about? A bug's life.
There's also the movie Ants with a Z.
It's quite scary film.
There's also that movie Galavant.
I don't know if you've seen that one.
I mean, we could be doomed.
Here's a more, oh, there's the number on the screen.
That's a two with 16 zeros after it.
That's just ridiculous.
For every one person on earth, there is 2.5 million ants.
So this summer, when you start squashing ants in your kitchen,
there's no way you could squash enough ants.
And this is what I'm saying.
One person, right, versus 2.5 million ants.
Who's going to win?
It's the ants.
Who would you rather fight?
2.5 million ant-sized ants or one human-sized ant?
One human-sized ant.
Really?
At least have a chance.
A human-sized ant?
Yeah.
Just not one of those bull ants because they look
real scary.
Brie and Clint from iHeartRadio
This is the latest
live from LA with Dean McCarthy.
Dean's here live from Hollywood.
This is big movie news that I haven't even shared
with Brie yet. Dean, tell us
the movie which is about to make a comeback.
I'm
gagged. It's been 15 years since
the last Oceans
movie. Oceans 14
is coming.
Matt Damon.
I know. Brad Pitt,
Matt Damon, George Clooney are
back. Now here's the thing.
There are endless
storylines. This is the
best franchise. One of the best franchises ever made. This is the best franchise.
One of the best franchises ever made.
You can take this anywhere.
They're so unlimited.
They're all gorgeous.
They all still look absolutely gorgeous.
And it is just star power.
Now, here's the thing.
They're obviously trying to get all of them in the one room at the one time.
It's the difficult part.
Trying to coordinate schedules with the biggest stars in the world.
Very difficult.
But it's coming. It's in the works. Everyone's signed on.
And I think we're going to see some really good
surprise cameo superstars as well.
Will we see a little Julia Roberts one in?
Absolutely.
Yeah, I think there's going to be some great ones.
A crossover with Ocean's 8 and Rihanna's in there
as well. I was just about to say, after this one,
Ocean's 14, they should then do
a dual one where it's the cast of Oceans 8
and the cast of all the Oceans 12, 13, 14,
and they should call it Oceans 24.
I was going to say Oceans 69.
Yeah, what you said is better.
That makes a lot more sense.
I mean, 69 makes sense too.
If you know, you know.
There you go.
Well, that is exciting.
I'm so keen for that.
I love those films.
Ocean's 14.
That's the latest live out of Los Angeles with Dean McCarthy.
I feel like there's a lot of different ways to get someone's number these days.
Yeah.
You know, people get creative.
Remember that guy that got those business cards printed
when the song by Carly Rae Jepsen was big?
Yes.
I remember that.
What did he say on them?
I think the card was something, because obviously the song was Call Me Maybe.
Yeah.
And it was something like, hey, here's my number, his phone number.
Yeah.
So call me maybe or something like that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
And he would hand them out.
It's a little cute, right?
You know, it's a bit cute.
I wonder, because you and I have been out of the dating game for a while
yes are you still exchanging phone numbers i think not as often are you adding each other on linkedin
yeah linkedin is the most you know what i mean wouldn't you just get in the dms isn't that the
the way to go i don't i don't know i don't know it's very foreign to me i reckon when it gets a
little bit more serious you or you still get someone's number. Yeah.
But not on like a night out.
So you can add them as your emergency contact at the gym.
Exactly.
Yeah, right.
Yeah.
I saw a story where this girl shared the creative and kind of messed up thing that this guy did to get her number at a party.
Okay.
So she, bit of context around the story, she locked eyes with this guy at a Starbucks.
Right.
Right.
And he was kind of staring at her a bit and she was like, do I know that guy?
Like, he's not saying anything to me.
Yeah.
And then that afternoon she's went to a party and this guy is at the party.
Turns out he was friends with one of her friends.
Freaky.
Yeah.
Right.
So she's already seen him at
starbucks she's now seen him at the party and i'll let her tell the rest of the story i started
having a conversation with him and then my friend leans over and he goes oh yeah he can't hear so
he takes out his phone and he shows me the little add contact thing and he types in his notes add
your phone number so we can communicate this way and then he texts me and he says you have such an
amazing smile i was like, that's so sweet.
Then all decided that we were going to go to a house party.
Then I decide to not go to the house party.
And I go to a different party.
And I walk into this different party.
And guess who's talking to all these people in this room?
Fine.
So I go up and I go, oh, hey, how are you?
So this boy starts immediately apologizing,
saying that he's so sorry for pretending to be deaf.
Because, and I quote, it was an easy and smooth way to get my phone number because he was shy.
That's so messed up.
There's no long-term thinking in that.
Eventually she's going to find out you're not deaf, bro.
Like, what are you going to do when, you know, it's like two years into the relationship and he's like,
I can't keep this up anymore. I remember
one New Year's I pretended to be Irish.
Just to
try and make myself more interesting.
Going, let's hear the accent.
No way. Nah, let's hear the accent.
No way, no way. Well, if you pretended
all night, the accent must be pretty
good. That was like 15 years ago.
Yeah, go on. One sentence. And it must be pretty good. That was like 15 years ago. Yeah, go on.
One sentence.
And it can't involve potatoes.
Okay, all right.
