ZM's Breeie and Clint.
Good evening everybody, welcome to the Brie and Clint show.
And if you're wondering, I'm wearing black undies today.
And Clint is wearing...
Black undies.
Got my skims on.
Oh, see, remember at the end of last year...
Not like shapewear.
Just male skims. I've got men's skims on.
Yes.
At the end of last year, we did discuss skims, the products.
You have gotten into the undies.
Yeah.
I purchased their bralettes.
Best bralette I've ever put on my body.
Yeah.
But I will say the underwear, no good.
Hasn't gone the distance.
Has not served me well.
It's served up my butt crack for most of the day that I wear them.
Okay, so they're not perfect.
They just go in.
They just kind of are really drawn to the butt crack area.
Neither of us are getting paid by Kim Kardashian to say this.
We wish.
Well, because that's an honest review.
You said her undies suck.
The bralettes, amazing.
Best thing I've ever worn, but not the undies in my opinion.
The men's undie skims that I'm wearing, the boxer brief.
So is it like a short?
Yeah, a little shorty.
Okay, so it can't navigate or go towards the butt crack.
Best undies I've ever worn.
Yeah.
Ever.
Ever.
And I've worn a lot of undies.
Best bralette I've ever worn. Yeah. If you're not in
the mood, you know when you're ladies, you're not in the mood
to put a bra on with an underwire.
Yeah, yeah. You know the bralettes that you wear?
Go check out Kim Kardashian.
She's come a long way from spruiking those
sketches that she said would make you
lose weight if you just wore them. Remember
when it all came out that it was... Yeah. The sketches
shape ups. Oh no, she said if you wear these
sketches, the sole is shaped in a
way that it will help you grow a Kim Kardashian
booty. Didn't it all come out that those
didn't actually work? Of course it did. Yeah.
She got sued. Did she?
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh well, she's on to bigger
and better things.
Today on the show, a bit of fun for you.
We're going to kick off with Tradie vs Lady.
The battle is back on, everybody,
and the Tradies have taken the early lead 1-0 in this year's competition.
They sure have a very good win from the Tradies yesterday.
It means nothing for today's game,
so if you want to play, 0800 DIAL ZM right now.
It's Tradie vs Lady.
Here we go. It's tradie versus lady. Three, two, one.
Here we go.
All right, it's the tradies and the ladies.
The tradies picked up a win yesterday.
First game of the year.
So they are on the board first.
1-0.
Let's go to our lady in Tamaki Makoto.
She's 18 and her cat's cross-eyed.
Welcome to the show, Jackie.
Hi, Jackie.
Hi, how are you?
Good, thanks.
What's your cat's name?
Marlo.
Marlo.
Marlo.
Has he always been cross-eyed?
Yeah, we got him when he was little and we didn't realise he was cross-eyed until we
like paid for him.
Pretty cute.
Aww.
You like to have your animal have some kind of weird quirk about them, right?
He'd struggle to catch mice, though, wouldn't he?
No, he can't jump either.
Oh, bless him.
Lucky he's got those whiskers to feel his way around.
Yeah, exactly.
You're taking on our tradies today from Auckland as well.
They're in their 30s and they just became a dad for the first time.
Welcome to the show, Jason.
G'day, Jason.
Happy New Year, guys.
Happy New Year.
What's it like being a new dad?
Congrats.
Well, thank you so much.
I've had a lot of sleepless nights, but he's a cool little dude.
Yeah.
Oh, awesome.
Yeah.
Oh, that's so cool to hear, Jase.
You are both playing for $50 cash this afternoon.
Jackie, your buzzer is lady.
Jason, yours is tradie.
Will the sleep deprivation work in Jackie's favour?
Let's find out.
All right, here we go, guys.
Question number one.
What do you call a baby horse?
And the answer is not baby horse.
Not baby horse.
Tradie?
Yeah.
Jason?
Is it foal?
It's a foal, yeah.
It is a foal.
One to the tradies.
Question number two.
New Zealand will get its first IKEA hopefully sometime soon.
They're thinking maybe this year.
But it is a big place.
It could take like six years to build.
Well, they've got to build all the furniture inside it from flat packs.
Well, that's true.
They've got to build the whole building.
It would take forever.
Imagine the Allen keys it would take to build that building.
But which country did IKEA originate from?
Haiti? Yes, Jason.
Is it Sweden?
Yes!
Said with a question mark, but you're spot on.
You did what we do with the Sweden,
Switzerland, Netherlands thing.
Which one is which?
It's hard to tell sometimes. They're all so good looking.
Alright, two to the tradies.
You need this one, Jackie, to stay in it.
Question number three.
Buzz in when you can tell me who sings this.
Jason, for the clean sweep.
It's Eminem.
Well done.
Sure is.
Oh, there he is, sleep deprived and all.
He's running on 15 coffees and he got the job done.
Congratulations.
I'm just drinking Starbucks right now, guys.
See, we can tell.
We know.
Big Daddy Jase, you're the winner of Tradie vs. Lady.
Tradie's got up 2-0.
Well done.
Good job, Jase.
If you missed it, the Tradies have gone 2-0 up in Tradie vs. Lady.
A dominant start for the Tradies.
I don't think they could have had a better start.
No, well, they couldn't have.
Unless they go three from three tomorrow.
Well, no, I mean, within that, like, today was a pantsing.
Today was a 3-0 victory within the game itself.
Super convincing.
Yeah.
Very, very convincing.
The Tradies are the Auckland FC have tradie versus lady so far.
How is the Auckland FC going?
Good second.
Oh.
Yeah, God, they had a, I reckon the best start to an A-League team ever.
Ever.
Ever.
Ever.
They couldn't lose.
No, I know.
Yeah, it was good to watch.
I loved it.
Phoenix fans hate this right now.
To our Wellington listeners, we love you guys.
Hey, I love the Phoenix as well, but it's also, I mean,
I just like seeing the New Zealand teams win in the Aussie competitions.
We're just long-suffering Aucklanders who have had to support the Blues for years,
so it's just good to have some wins on the board.
Yeah, absolutely.
And, I mean, the Warriors as well.
They've come good, though.
They have.
This is our year.
Yeah.
That's what I heard.
And the Blues won last year.
Oh, God, it's good to be an Aucklander right now.
Feels good. All these people, did you hear that? Yeah. Heaps of I heard. And the Blues won last year. Oh, God, it's good to be in Auckland right now. Feels good.
All these people, did you hear that?
Yeah.
Heaps of Wellingtonians turning off.
Yeah, Crashers just tuned out.
Oh, we've just lost Nelson.
Oh.
Yeah.
I'll be back.
I'll be back.
We've got the Waikato just by the skin of our teeth at the moment.
They're teetering.
Say something good about the Chiefs.
Teetering.
Oh, I love the Chiefs.
Perfect.
How good are the Chiefs? Yeah, Chiefies. They don't want a
soccer team though. No, just the Chiefs. We had this
interesting conversation off air yesterday where we were talking about
a few different things. The first one was what are the
foods that are way better the next day
or the day after? They get better from being in the fridge overnight.
Yeah, because it's a select group, isn't it?
And then you said also, what foods travel the best?
Well, we've just come off, we're coming off, we're in rather, barbecue season.
We've all just been to other people's place for Christmas and it's very, I would call
this bring a plate season. We've all just been to other people's place for Christmas. And it's very, I would call this bring a plate season.
Absolutely it is.
So on there are a list of foods which travel well that you want to eat.
Yes.
Okay.
Yeah.
I would argue a platter, like an anti-pasta platter, which is my favourite.
Yeah.
Not the best at travelling.
Terrible traveller.
Terrible traveller.
It's got oil in there.
I think I saw Matty McLean prepare a travelling
anti-pasto platter recently. It's dangerous.
And he put like a loose piece of cling
film over the top of it. Yeah, see, the
oil seeps through. No.
It's very dangerous. Oh, you get one
rough corner or one sudden break.
You're gone. You've got carrot sticks all over your dashboard.
Yep, that's it. No, I'm with you
on that. But what
is something that travels really well? What is a food that you, when on that. But what is something that travels really well?
What is a food that when you think, oh, you know what travels really well?
Cobloaf.
Yeah, you're big on the cobloaf.
I like a cobloaf because I know it.
I think a cobloaf's particularly Australian.
Yeah, but I'm just saying it travels well.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Perfect to take over to a barbecue or an event because for people that don't know.
Yeah, can you explain a cob loaf?
Yeah, if you've never had a cob loaf, you're in for a treat.
Once you have one, you never go back.
It's a full cob bread loaf and then you rip all the bread.
You hollow it out.
Hollow it out.
You rip all the bread out into little pieces.
You roast that in the oven just so it's nice and crispy.
And then you make either. More of a toast than a roast. More of a toast
yeah, a little light toasting
and then you make a dip that goes
inside the
cob loaf. Do you dip the bits
of bread that you pulled out? Yes you do!
And I think if you're an expert
cob loafer, don't you save the lid
of the loaf? You sure do. And you sit that on top
of the cob loaf which in turn makes it travel even better.
It keeps everything in.
And everyone's like,
oh, she's just brought a crusty loaf to the barbecue.
And then you go, uh-uh, and you take the lid off.
And everyone's like, whabam.
Honestly, I don't think there's a better thing
that travels to a barbecue than a cob loaf.
It really makes my thing sound boring.
What's yours?
Potato salad.
Potato salad is good.
Potato salad travels very well because it
sticks to the bowl. Potato salad's like
solid water. It becomes
the bowl. You're right. No, I see where
you were going. I see where you were going.
Have we completely abandoned foods that are better the next
day? Yeah, we can do that tomorrow.
Should we do that tomorrow? Yeah, we'll do that tomorrow. Today it's all about
travelling foods. Yeah, travelling foods.
What is the foods that travel the best to a party or a barbecue?
Let's go to our hungry producing panel.
Claudia, you're headed to mine in your Suzuki Swift.
You're alone because you're single now.
So your dish has to sit in the passenger's seat.
Okay, you can put a seatbelt around it if you need to.
What is the dish that's going to travel well to my house for the barbecue?
I need something self-contained, like even without a dish.
Something that can sit on a plate.
Okay.
Like a pie.
It's got the pastry around the outside.
Like an apple pie?
Any kind of pie.
Or a bacon and egg pie?
A bacon and egg pie is good.
Or like a quiche situation, something that just contains itself.
Bacon and egg pie, also better the next day.
Way better the next day.
Oh, I did a twofer.
You did a twofer.
It's like the flavours seep into it.
Well, it solidifies.
It's good cold.
Yep.
Okay, Claudia, great.
So far at the barbecue, we've got a potato salad, a cob loaf,
and a bacon and egg pie.
Sounds good, actually.
Ella, the vegan producer.
Yeah.
I'm trying to think,
because you don't have any cheese to bind things together in your dishes.
I'm wondering where your strength is going to come from in your dish.
Like, it's not a dal.
Can I just say before I say it?
A dal's quite watery.
Dals are terrible travellers.
It's going to go everywhere.
Yeah.
And can I say, sticking it inside a Tupperware with a lid
does not a good traveller make.
Nom, nom, nom.
Because you have to over-engineer that dish.
Yeah.
So, Ella?
Okay, well, I'm saying what I'm saying,
but I thought travelling to work just myself.
I don't know if you'd want to bring it to a barbecue,
but a peanut butter and jam sandwich is really good travelling.
You know how I'm having that party in a few weeks?
I think I'm going to invite you.
You're uninvited.
Guys.
You're uninvited.
I didn't know.
Peanut butter. Imagine she shows up to a barbecue with one peanut butter. You think we're the uninvited. You're uninvited. Guys. You're uninvited. I didn't know. Peanut butter.
Imagine she shows up to a barbecue with one peanut butter.
You've got to make enough.
To be honest, she can't eat any of our food anyway,
so she may as well sit in the corner having a peanut butter
and jelly sandwich.
Someone texted her and they said,
I saw a lady on TikTok did a cheese platter and took it camping,
but she put it on a flat board and vacuum packed it.
You could do that.
But that's like anything right?
Someone else said an ambrosia.
Always better the next day.
No we're doing better the next day tomorrow.
We're doing that tomorrow.
Vacuum packing a cheese platter.
Just cut the cheese when you get to the campsite.
Put the cheese wheels in there
wrapping in here. Everyone is saying to vacuum pack the cheese when you get to the campsite. Like, put the cheese wheels in there wrapping in here.
Everyone is saying to vacuum pack the cheese board.
Guys, let's go the cob loaf.
Yeah.
Let's make a movement.
Nature's vacuum pack.
Yes.
Listen, you make us a cob loaf and then we'll judge, okay?
And we'll judge, yeah. Guys, can you remind me?
I'm going to make you guys a cob loaf because who, put your hand up, who's had one?
You've had one.
No, I've only seen one.
I've never had one.
Yeah.
What? Yeah, we want a cob loaf. I don put your hand up, who's had one? You've had one. No, I've only seen one. I've never had one. Yeah.
What?
Yeah, we want a cob loaf.
I don't even really know what it is.
Oh, my God.
I'm so excited for you all.
You make us one of those.
Ella, you make us a peanut butter sandwich.
Oh, 800 dials it in.
What goes on the list of foods that travel well?
That's the list we're going to compile this afternoon.
Yep.
Bree and Clint.
On this huge day of news, we are having an important discussion here on the Bree and Clint show about what food travels well.
It is barbecue season.
Specifically in the car.
What food travels well?
Because there is foods that definitely don't travel well.
Like danger foods in the car.
Anything with beetroot?
Anything that is more than like, I reckon 10% liquid?
Yeah. In liquid state?
Because like lasagna, let's talk about lasagna for a second
because there's different types of lasagna.
A real kind of, you know, sloppy lasagna, not safe for travel.
No.
But then you have the real kind of unsloppy lasagna, great for travel.
A lasagna, I reckon a lasagna you made the night before and then fridged.
Well, that is a non-sloppy lasagna, yeah.
But that's a perfect travelling lasagna, isn't it?
With tinfoil over the top, not glad wrap,
so that when you get there you can pop it straight in their oven.
And then it gets sloppy again.
Yeah.
Yeah, so that's a good time.
We're taking suggestions on the best travelling food.
Someone texted and said, what about fruit and lolly skewers?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Why not?
Good travellers.
Why not?
Fairy bread?
Again, they're always under that flimsy bit of...
Oh my God.
They're always under that flimsy bit of glad wrap over the top.
And the skewers go straight through it.
Yeah.
Have you guys seen the fairy bread trend that's doing the rounds?
No.
Fairy bread.
So a piece of fairy bread and then a sausage.
And you eat the sausage on the bread, but the bread is fairy bread.
I'm into salty sweet, but that seems like a step too far.
It could work.
It could.
We can't judge until we have it.
Okay.
We could try it.
We could give it a whirl. We could try it. We could give it a whirl.
We could try it.
Let's go to the people for some suggestions.
Mike's on 0800 dials at M.
Hi, Mike.
G'day, Mike.
Hi, how's it going?
We're good.
Are you as passionate about this travelling food conversation as we are?
Yes, definitely, definitely.
Good, good, good, good, good, good.
You're the man for this then.
What is it, Mike?
Mac and cheese.
Oh.
Several reasons.
You can eat it hot or cold.
It tastes better the next day.
And if you want to be all fancy, you can throw, like, a couple of mixed veggies in it
and call it mac and cheese salad.
Mac and cheese salad.
Make it healthy, right, Mike?
I had a few questions for you, and one of them was going to be AUOFA with peas
and your mac and cheese, and we've got an answer to that already.
Can I ask you, and your mac and cheese bacon?
Definitely. Definitely. Bread crumbs on top. and your mac and cheese, and we've got an answer to that already. Can I ask you, and your mac and cheese, bacon?
Definitely.
Definitely.
Breadcrumbs on top.
Yeah, it has to be baked.
Otherwise it doesn't taste so good.
With breadcrumbs on top and like the bubbly,
slightly burnt cheese on top.
That's the one.
That's the one.
I like to put like eight different cheeses in mine.
Just for good measure.
We did recently because we just used the remainder of the blocks that were in there.
We had like three or four different, we had a bit of parmesan, we used the remainder of the blocks that were in there.
We had like three or four different, we had a bit of parmesan, we had a bit of... You're talking my language.
Edam, bit of tasty.
How good.
Thanks, Mike.
You're invited to our barbecue.
Thank you, Mike.
Cheers, thanks.
Someone else is texting in.
They said, scallop potato slaps, travels very well for barbecues.
That's a potato, potato scallop.
Yeah, scallop potato, thinly sliced.
Wait, do you call it a scallop potato?
Yeah.
We call it a potato scallop.
Really?
Like I know it is a potato scallop,
but you guys call it a scallop potato.
In so many ways we are the same and yet.
We are so different.
We are so different.
Yeah.
Back to the topic at hand,
a lot of passionate messages for Cobb Loaf.
If you, let me just, I want to reach out to those people listening right now,
if you've never had a Cobb Loaf, if you've never experienced the joy,
the beauty that is a Cobb Loaf.
My personal favourite, I will say, is the spinach Cobb Loaf.
Yeah.
Which, and hear me out.
Yeah.
I mean, the bacon and cheese, also good.
But there's something about that spinach cob loaf that just does things to me.
Back to the travelling aspect, though.
My house is a good 45 minutes away from the city.
Yeah.
Does a cob loaf, is it as good when it cools down?
Just as good.
Just as good?
Oh, I mean.
Because you're not reheating a cob loaf.
You're not. No. But most, I mean. Because you're not reheating a cob loaf. You're not.
No.
But most, I mean, it is better when it's warm.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But it's still.
Hot good, warm good.
It's good.
It's just good.
Yeah.
Someone said ambrosia with a bit of glad wrap on top.
Yeah, that would travel well.
Who's whipping out the ambrosia still?
Ambrosia.
What?
Hey, let's throw. A lot of mums. A lot of mums. Let's whipping out the ambrosia still? Ambrosia? What? Hey, let's throw Bom-
A lot of mums.
A lot of mums.
Let's throw Bombalaska on there.
Oh, Bombalaska.
What about an Eton Mess?
Eton Mess, terrible traveller though unless you prepare it on site,
unless you get there and you start crushing your meringues
in front of your guests.
Yeah, sprinkling your dried berries, slopping on some yoghurt
like Gordon Ramsay.
Yeah, you're painting a picture then.
Trifle is a lot of the time travelled around the Christmas period.
A lot of trifles travelling in cars.
A lot of travelling trifles, yeah.
A lot of travelling trifles.
We travelled a trifle from Auckland to Rotorua on Boxing Day.
See, that is quite the feat.
Yeah, yeah.
And how'd it go?
Fantastic.
Yeah, it's not bad.
Just a nice pack in the chilli bin.
It was fine.
Good. Okay. Like I said, big day, not bad. Just a nice pack in the chili bin. It was fine. Good.
Okay.
Like I said, big day, big topic.
So I'm glad we covered that off.
Someone said, you guys are missing the most important barbecue food, garlic bread.
I mean, it's a great traveler.
Yep.
Pre-prepare it.
Repair it when you get there.
Who cares?
Good all round.
Bree and Clint from iHeartRadio.
This is the latest live from LA with Dean McCarthy.
Dean, this might be the biggest lawsuit in Hollywood at the moment,
the Justin Baldoni and Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively lawsuit.
Yes, okay, so let me just, for everyone playing at home,
there's three lawsuits.
Lawsuit number one, Blake Lively is suing Justin Baldoni
for harassment and for allegedly starting a PR smear campaign against her.
Lawsuit number two, Justin Baldoni is suing the New York Times for $250 million because they wrote about this situation.
And he alleges that they put false things in there.
OK, so he's suing them for defamation lawsuit number three justin baldoni
is now suing blake lively and ryan reynolds directly for 400 million dollars now justin
baldoni's um production company is actually backed by a billionaire so one of the people
in his production company is a billionaire lots of people are saying to me god he's a game like
getting no well he does have a huge financial backer. That's why he's getting so extreme.
Now, so today, obviously, he's now suing Blake and Ryan for trying to torpedo his career
in his words.
She has now come out, her team has come out and said, this is so typical of a sexual harassment
case against a woman.
She speaks out, and now he's trying to flip the
script and say that, you know, it was her fault.
Wow. Have I summed it up?
You have summed it up
succinctly. That was perfect.
I didn't realise how
much was going on. That is
a lot to take in. Because everybody
was drawn in four months ago by
the scandal where everyone was like, oh my god,
is Blake Lively a secret B word?
Yeah, the smear campaign, as they're calling it.
She's not as perfect as everyone thought she was.
And then all of a sudden this stuff came out about what Justin Baldoni
and the producer of that film were doing.
And, God, that just keeps going, doesn't it?
It's so crazy to me because we'll never know the real truth.
No.
Like, we'll never know exactly what has gone down between all these people.
But the amount of money that people are suing each other for is just out of control.
Who do you think, Dean, is going to take it out in the end?
Well, in the end, there's going to be the court of public opinion
and there's going to be the actual court.
One thing Justin is doing, though, Justin is building a website
and on the website he and his team are going to post all the details
that they believe the public need to know.
For example, the full text conversation between him and Blake
about a situation.
He was like, she used this out of context.
He's going to share all this with the public.
Wow.
Who will take it out?
Who will take it out?
My goodness, they are all very successful and wealthy people.
I have got no idea how this is going to play out.
Wealthy, successful, and incredibly
petty. No one can just go, you know what?
We're toxic for each other. Let's just not work
together anymore. It just goes to show
no matter how
successful and rich you are, you can still be
a petty little bee. Yeah, totally.
She wants
a jury. She wants a
jury trial. Holy smokes!
Well, they'll make for great TV.
Everybody would watch that. It's the
new Johnny Depp and Amber Heard case
by the sounds, Dean.
Yep, for sure. It's fascinating.
I'm really into it. That's the latest
on the Justin Baldoni, Blake
Lively, Ryan Reynolds mess
with our Hollywood correspondent, Dean McCarthy.
We're back after this on ZM.
Bree and Clint.
We need to talk about the Robbie Williams movie.
I don't want to rock, rock, DJ.
I had seen the trailers for it.
It's a movie about his life,
but instead of anyone playing the character of Robbie in the film,
it's a CGI monkey.
Now, hear me out.
Sounds random and bizarre.
It was the best movie I reckon I saw last year.
Wow.
Yeah.
I've heard similar things. year. Wow. Yeah.
I've heard similar things.
I loved it.
Yeah.
That much, I would say, best movie I saw.
I think it got a lot of bad raps on TikTok because of American audiences who probably didn't appreciate Robbie Williams or know his story
or anything like that.
And they're like, what is this weird monkey movie?
Most people in America don't even know who Robbie Williams is.
No. No.
Yeah.
No, but he's the biggest pop star of the late 90s, early 2000s.
Yeah.
Arguably.
Yeah.
I saw a stat trying to explain to Americans how big Taylor Swift was,
and they said before Taylor Swift did that Errors Tour,
the record for the biggest, highest grossing, most attended tour belonged to Robbie Williams.
Yeah, for like 17 years he held that record.
Yes.
Yeah, that's how big he was.
Yeah.
Yeah, so I, remember when the Robbie Williams doco came out a few years ago on Netflix?
Yes, it was just last year.
Last year.
Yeah.
Watch that.
So I like Robbie Williams.
I liked his music.
Didn't know much about him, right?
And I would say I was a person who listened to the music,
but I wasn't a fan.
You're a casual fan.
I was a casual fan.
After watching the doco, it made me love him,
like really, really love him as a person and as an artist.
And I was like, I love this guy now.
After watching this movie, I will be a fan for life.
Wow.
Like if he ever comes back to New Zealand,
I will be going to every show.
I will be there front and centre.
Is it just like the same as the Elton John Rocketman movie
except he's a monkey?
Kind of.
It follows the same thing?
It just goes through his life?
Yeah, exactly.
It's a biopic but but he's a monkey.
100%.
In my opinion, it's done better.
Than Rocketman?
Yeah.
What about the McQueen one, The We Will Rock You?
It's, I can't compare the two,
because I loved that Queen movie so much,
but I would say it's better than the Elton John one.
Someone's just texted and said,
I've met Robbie Williams and I agree with you, Bree.
He is an amazing guy.
He's got quite a strong connection to New Zealand.
He's got a huge Tamoko tattoo down his arm.
He spent a couple of days holed up in a hotel with a supermodel
here in New Zealand one time.
That's right.
I just, you know what I loved about the doco and the movie,
and I feel like this is so rare in our society these days,
is it was so brutally honest and raw,
and it just made me feel like I really know who he is
and I was inside his brain and I could relate to so many things,
you know, that he was saying.
And I was like, it's just incredible.
I would say anyone, if you like are on the fence about going to see it,
go see it.
So why is he a monkey?
How I interpreted it.
Yeah.
Is the monkey a metaphor?
I think so.
Yeah.
It's how he's always felt.
Like a dancing monkey.
Like a dancing monkey and he was a performer and he was.
Do the people in the film acknowledge that he's a monkey?
No.
Because no one else in the movie is a monkey, right?
No.
It's not acknowledged.
There's not a scene where people are like, but you're a monkey.
Would I say I liked that he was a monkey in the movie?
Yeah.
I think I absolutely loved the movie in spite of that.
If he wasn't a monkey, who would have played Louis Williams?
Well, that's the thing.
Because he's too young now.
I know he's in his 50s, but, you know, Elton John,
you can get Tarantaton Egerton to do it and it's fine.
That's why I could appreciate.
Bob Dylan, they've got Timothy Shimalamale.
I could appreciate.
You know what I think was a smart idea,
having the monkey, is that anyone you pick for that,
you see probably that person before you see Robbie,
whereas I feel like when you look at the monkey after a while,
you're like, that is Robbie Williams.
Yeah, so okay, you asked the review,
how many bananas out of five for the Robbie Williams monkey movie?
Yeah.
How many?
Five.
Five bananas? Five and a many? Five. Five bananas.
Five and a half.
Six.
Six bananas.
Yeah, throw them all.
Throw the whole bunch at it.
That's bananas.
Go and see it.
Very good.
Are you going to watch it?
Yeah, I want to, yeah.
Yeah, go see it, yeah.
I watched the other Elvis movie that came out at the same time, Priscilla.
I've seen it too.
Grim
Very grim
Dark
Yeah
Who's that tall guy
Jacob Elordi
plays Elvis
I think he does
a really good job
He's a really good Elvis too
Yeah
But grim
But very grim yeah
Elvis definitely not
the hero of the Priscilla movie
Not a light watch
No
I went to gig over summer break I went to kate trinada at trust arena god the hottest i
know the hottest like venue i've ever been to in my life zero air conditioning really 10 000 people
inside a 10 a netball stadium no air conditioning in the peak of summer that does not sound like a
good time no it was hot and does not sound like a good time.
No, it was hot and sweaty and not in a good way.
But the show was good.
Kate Renata was very good.
There was one thing that I saw multiple people in the crowd with,
which to me was very retro,
but to the people who were using it was like the cool new thing to have.
And it was another one of those moments where I went,
I'm old enough to know,
to remember when those were cool the first time.
That has come back into fashion.
Like cargo pants.
Yeah.
You know?
We were around for the first go at it.
The item that the cool people,
the cool people Catering Artists Show had was a Sony Cybershot digital camera.
I love a Sony Cybershot.
Multiple people rocking a Sony Cybershot digital camera.
And I'm talking a point-and-shoot, not a DSLR fancy-pants photography camera. Like an original.
An original digicam that fits in your pocket or fits in your purse.
The one you would have had, like, from the year 2004
up until probably as recent as 2013?
iPhone came out 2009, didn't it?
Maybe you had it 2002 to 2008.
I don't know.
We're talking about the cameras that all of us millennials took out on a night out,
took a bunch of photos at the clubs, all the fun moments,
and then you'd take that entire group of photos from your Sony Cybershot
and you'd upload it as a whole album to Facebook. The whole thing?
Yeah. No captions? Nah.
All of the photos were titled
IMG underscore 1088889
That's the one. And the next one was called
IMG underscore 108888
10
I don't even think
we would have went through and made sure
there was no incriminating photos in there
No, no, no, drag and drop.
No, you just.
And you also only really took one photo.
You didn't take it from multiple angles.
You just took the picture.
It was one photo.
Yeah, one shot deal.
I saw two girls doing something with a Sony Cybershot that I've never seen done before.
What?
Taking a selfie.
Oh.
That was not, from my memory, that was not done with the Sony Cybershot because you didn't have a front-facing screen.
No.
So you couldn't see.
You couldn't see what you were taking a photo of.
Didn't the smartphone invent the selfie?
Just imagine the first person who took a selfie.
Yeah.
Imagine.
Yeah.
I wonder who that was.
Yeah.
It'd be the weirdest thing.
You'd go, what if I am the photo?
What if I just take it of myself?
I posted a video of the Sony Cybershots in the crowd at the Kate Trenada concert.
And I got a DM instantly from Claudia who was like, oh my God, my time to shine.
Because you still have a Sony Cybershot digital camera.
I literally found it under my bed the other day.
You whipped it out here in the studio yesterday,
and it's in great nick.
Great condition.
That's probably been under there for 10 years.
If there's a time to sell it,
do you want me to have a look at how much they're going for on trading?
Sure, all right.
If I can make some money off it.
You've already had an expression of interest from Gen Z producer Ella,
who's desperate to get one of these Sony Cybershot digital cameras.
Right, Ella?
Yeah, I had the idea to get heaps for my wedding.
What in the world?
This, wait, I feel like the one you've got here, this Sony Cybershot,
what model is yours?
I actually did Google it.
Are you thinking about what year it came out?
I Googled it.
It's a W810.
I'm pretty sure it's from 2014.
Wait, W810. Because there's some it's from 2014. Wait, W810
because there's someone here that are going for $350. What?
Yeah, there's a Sony Cybershot here on Trade Me
for $115. Sony Cybershot?
$220.
$390? Wow.
They're all used. They all say
used Sony Cybershots and they're the
originals. And mine's in like near new condition.
Someone's selling five of them for $25.
Oh, can you get me one?
Can you get it? Can you get it, please?
This one's $450.
I'll buy this.
So I can either make a lot of money or no money.
This one looks exactly like Claudia's.
Yeah, yeah.
And it's $400.
Oh, you're kidding.
Anyway, they're back.
And because it's a very specific look, it's almost like a filter.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Getting a photo on a Sony Cybershop.
Yeah.
So cool.
And don't get me started on the crusty videos that they shoot as well.
They're even cooler.
But the photos...
They're not even called video on there.
It's called movie.
Movie mode.
The photos made everybody look really shiny.
The type of flash that it had make everybody's skin look really shiny
and almost a bit greasy and sweaty,
which we possibly were.
A lot of Dax Wax in the 2000s.
But there weren't enough pixels to show your pimples.
No.
So you look shiny but smooth.
Yeah, yeah.
You literally can't zoom in on the pictures.
Can't wait for Impulse to come back into fashion.
Oh, yeah?
The Impulse spray.
Yeah, yeah.
Or Tarzos.
Or Goodiskmans.
Oh, yeah.
No, I think they have their moment again.
Have they?
Damn it, I missed it
I feel like you might have missed it
Brie and Clint
Time for a round of
Let's Get Classical
If you're new to the
Brie and Clint show for 2025
Welcome
This is the game where we guess
Pop songs
Like common popular songs
That have been reimagined in classical music style.
Classicaled.
They've been classicaled.
Yeah.
It's like a 17th century DJ has remixed them.
How good.
It's always me and Brie against Ella.
The origins of that format is that she is quite musically gifted.
Yeah, she has an ear for music.
She's the best at music on this show.
So she has the upper hand.
I'll give her the compliment.
She's the best at music, yep.
Thank you, thanks.
But she's not good at losing.
Terrible at losing.
Has been accused of being a bit screamy.
Yeah, okay.
Oh, sorry.
Yes, a little bit.
You're already getting a little bit.
So Ella, tell everybody what your New Year's resolution is.
Okay, for everyone's sake, no more screaming. It Ella, tell everybody what your New Year's resolution is.
Okay, for everyone's sake, no more screaming.
It's not nice to listen to.
I need to chill the heck out.
It's a safe space.
Yes, it is a safe space.
Always has been. We'll see how long this lasts.
Just don't annoy me, Clint, and I'll be fine.
Okay, we will see if your New Year's resolution can last but one game.
Cordia, you're in charge.
Hello, yes, I am the 17th century DJ.
You are.
Yeah, you are.
Yep, it's me.
DJ Tchaikovsky.
Have you got a chastity belt on?
I will never disclose that information.
What's a chastity belt?
Oh, my God.
That is your DJ name.
No.
Chastity belt.
That's my drag name.
Chastity belt.
I have a question.
Yes.
Clint, please stick to the rules.
Last time we weren't ready and you would just play the music.
Where is the question?
Can you not do that?
It's an instruction and I don't take instructions from you.
I take instructions from Claudia.
Let's do this.
Yeah, let's go straight in.
We're back at zero points for the year for everyone.
We're starting fresh.
Okay, clean slate.
So clean slate.
Okay, first team to two points takes home the win.
Here's the first one.
Bree.
Bree.
That is Lady Gaga, Edge of Glory.
Well done.
That's in my warehouse.
Sorry, Ella.
That's Ella.
That was close, okay?
Strike one.
Well done, Bree.
Thank you, mate.
Is that what you were going to guess?
Yep.
Okay.
Was it?
No, it was. Yeah, I had it. I had it. Okay. She's trying so hard to guess? Yep. Okay. Was it? No, it was.
Yeah, I had it.
I had it.
Okay.
She's trying so hard to keep a lid on it.
Let's go again.
Let's go again.
Here's another one.
What?
Oh.
Oh.
What?
Oh, I like it.
Brie.
Yeah. Gin, wine, pony.
Yeah, cool.
What?
Ella's angry because she's never heard this song before,
but that is not a legitimate excuse.
You will after you get married in April.
Yeah, this is the traditional removing of the garter song, isn't it?
Exactly, yeah.
This is a weird song for DJ Chastity Belt to pick.
Someone who texted in Team Bree and Clint
are scoring for themselves 50 KFC chicken dollars.
We'll go through the text machine and figure that out.
Did I do well?
Well, you stuck to your New Year's resolution.
Just.
We'll see how it goes in the weeks.
Yeah! I'm so fine.
Let's go.
And for all the people now texting through Bree and Clint,
only after we've won two legs.
Bandwagon fans. Don't jump on the bandwagon now.
We're back after this on ZM.
Bree and Clint.
I started playing this game at the end of last year with you guys
and everyone that listens to the show.
And I like to call it You Can Only Pick Two.
That's the game.
Yeah, that's the game.
It's pretty simple.
I give you five things, but you can only pick two out of
the five.
Simple concept,
but it does, I feel
like, tell you a
lot about the people around you.
Like a personality test.
Yeah, depending on what they pick. So, I've got a new
one for you this afternoon.
Are we all ready, producers? Here comes
the five things. Remember, you can only pick Are we all ready, producers? Always ready. Here comes the five things.
Remember, you can only pick two.
Number one, you can visit and experience
any historical event ever.
Like Titanic?
Yep.
Okay.
Before it sinks, obviously.
Yep.
Number two, have a guaranteed eight hours of sleep every night. Yep. Number two, have a guaranteed eight hours of sleep every night.
Yep.
Number three, be instantly famous for your talent.
Number four.
A talent that you already have.
Yeah.
Like a pre-existing talent.
Yeah.
Okay, yeah.
Number four, own a private island.
And
number five,
you can master any skill
instantly.
Like the Matrix.
You can master any skill, just instantly.
I know Kung Fu. You've got it.
Okay. Yeah. Cool.
Okay, they're the five. I'll say them again.
Visit and experience any historical event.
Number two, have a guaranteed eight hours of sleep every night.
Number three, be instantly famous for your talent.
Number four, own a private island.
And number five, master any skill instantly.
What are we picking?
Very easy for me.
I'm already a fantastic sleeper.
Humble brag. Humble brag Humble brag
We get it
You have everything
So I want to time travel to historic events
And I want to have a private island
Okay
Easy
Lock it in
I'm very much on the same page
But the historical event one
100% for sure.
Because you can go to good ones too.
Yeah.
You can go to Live Aid.
You can go to, yeah.
You can go to Woodstock.
Yeah.
You can go to anything.
And then you just come back, right?
And then you come back, yep.
I'm debating between owning a private island or mastering any skill.
Because skills would be like you could suddenly play guitar.
You could have any instrument at any point.
You could probably cook incredibly.
Claudia, look at me.
Would you prefer to play the guitar or have a private island?
Well, I could play the guitar, get famous and get money and buy an island.
That's a long road.
And then I get both.
If the goal is to get the island, just take the island.
Can I visit your island?
Yeah.
Okay, I'll have the skills.
Perfect.
Ella?
I've written down master any skills so I can speak any languages. That's fun. Perfect. Ella? I've written down master any skills
so I can speak any languages.
That's fun. Yep.
And
what was the other one?
Own a private island.
Yeah, I like islands. And then I can do a lot
of bird care and care for the environment.
And your skills mean that
you know exactly what to do. I can speak to
animals. Yes! Is that a skill exactly what to do. I can speak to animals.
Yes.
Yep.
Is that a skill? I like it.
Mine would be master any skill instantly.
Love that.
I'm good at everything.
How good.
And have a guaranteed eight hours of sleep every night.
Yeah, treat yourself.
You could do both of those things.
Yeah.
Like if you practice the thing enough, you'll be able to
do it. But it's not instantly, is it?
Sleeping is a skill. I get bored with it.
So you could master any skill
and do the eight hours
in one.
I could choose another one. Loophole.
Master any skill and then visit
and experience any historical event then.
What's your historical event?
Um... and experience any historical event then? What's your historical event? I don't know.
There'd be so many.
I'm going to the 2011 Rugby World Cup.
Oh!
From the start.
That's quite recent.
Yeah, going to every game.
Again.
I'd probably go and watch every 100 metre race at an Olympics
for the last 10 Olympics.
Yeah, right.
And be there.
Why stop there?
Why not go back to the original Olympiad?
True.
Why not?
Why not go back to ancient Greece?
Sky is the limit.
See the naked guys running.
They were naked?
Yeah, they were naked.
The original Olympics was naked.
Yeah.
Even the marathon.
Imagine them doing javelin.
Imagine them doing discus. Imagine them doing javelin. Imagine them doing
Dixcus. Imagine them doing
high jump.
Imagine them doing pole vault.
Oh, wow.
Bree and Clint. Can I just
preface this with saying we've all
done this before. At some point
in our life where we all think
we started something
or we said something first or we take claim to something
that probably definitely wasn't us.
Often it's a joke.
Yeah.
You'll say a joke.
And you're like, oh.
Yeah.
And then it comes out that you have heard someone else
in the room say that joke but they said it quietly
and you just said it louder and everyone laughs at your one.
I just said that joke.
Yeah, yeah.
It's awkward.
There was a discussion that happened with me and my partner in the car this morning
where we're super excited about Laneway, which is in a couple of weeks.
And, of course, Charlie XCX is coming.
Yes.
And I said to her as we were driving, I said, oh, you realise that because Charli XCX had that song,
that collab with Lorde, that Lorde could come out at Laneway as well.
How you feel?
It's so confusing sometimes.
And she looked me dead in the eye and said,
um, the only reason you started listening to the Charli XCX album
was because I was listening to it.
Oh, my God.
She's taken credit for Charli XCX.
It went way back, way back.
I believe, hold on, I wrote it down.
Wrote it down.
She said, I was listening to Brat before the world.
Your partner thinks she discovered Charli XCX.
Wait, wait, wait.
She thinks she discovered Charli XCX in 2024.
Look, I feel like it was all in fun.
It was her trying to hammer down on me that the only reason I became super
into the Brat album was because she was super into the Brat album.
Does she know that you did a cover of Charlie XCX
and Iggy Azalea Fancy before you even moved to this country and met her?
I made a full music video for it as well.
I was pretty into it.
Bold.
It's a bold claim.
It's a bold claim.
It's a bold claim, but you know what?
It's real.
It's real.
And I'm not having a go at your partner.
She's wonderful.
She's a great person.
But it's classic, like trying to claim an artist and like go.
Oh, she one-upped me for sure.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And I was kind of like, whoa, wait a second.
I was just trying to get you, wait a second. Yeah.
I was just trying to get you excited that Lorde could be at Laneway as well.
It's the same feeling as when you wear a band T-shirt and someone goes to you, you like that band, do you?
Name three of their albums.
I've liked them for way longer than you.
Way longer.
Anyway, look, we've all done it.
We've all been there.
And I want to know who is the person in your life
that has made a massive outrageous claim?
They either came up with the saying,
maybe they were the first person to discover Chapel Roan.
They were like, I was listening to Chapel Roan back in 2020
when she released the album.
Oh, very similar words to
that have come out of your mouth in regards
to Chapel Rhone. Like I
said something, and Claudia
knows this, I said something later last year and I
said, oh yeah, it'd be pretty big for Chapel Rhone
to headline whatever festival. Glastonbury.
I remember it. And I said,
nah, she could do it now. And I said, yeah,
I mean, but It'd be massive
If she did it with three songs
And you were like
Oh no she's got so many
More than three songs
Stand by
Yeah I know you do
I stand by
But it was you laying claim
To being
The ultimate
Chapel Roan fan
I'm one of
The girls out there
Have been criticising me
As someone who takes credit
For a lot of things
You don't remember
What
It was last year.
We almost had a
full falling out.
About what?
You said there was
this game that we
play on the show
and you said,
yeah, when I came
up with the game,
when I clearly came
up with it.
He's done that to all
of us.
Ridiculous.
What was the game?
It was, what's that
Spice Girls one that
we play?
Oh, who do you think they are?
Who do you think they are?
And you were like, yeah, when I came up with that
and we all went, are you all right?
Were you in the room when Claudia discussed how she came up with the game
when she was on a road trip?
And you were so adamant that it was your idea.
And you were like, I don't remember that story.
Yeah, I've never been.
I don't remember that conversation.
Did I not come up with that game?
I don't.
You actually don't. No, I genuinely don't remember that conversation Did I not come up with that game? I don't You actually don't
No I don't
I genuinely don't
That was the day
When you said bye guys
And both Claudia and I
Couldn't look at each other
We were so angry
And then I
That's most days to be fair
And then I joined in
And was like
He's done that to me before
I came up with Friday Oaky
And then he decided
That he came up with it
We call that doing a Clint You came up with Birthday Banger he came up with it. We call that doing a Clint.
You came up with Birthday Banger. I came up with Friday
Aoki. I have
audio proof. I don't want to have this
conversation. I have audio proof
and it was on a podcast intro
You guys don't want to give me credit
for anything. Come up with an idea and we will.
I'm finding the audio proof.
I'm finding the audio proof.
Oh $100. What did someone you. Oh, $100,000.
What did someone you know take credit for?
Like this text that's already come in that said,
my once best friend of 12 years stole my business idea
and now she is making six figures off it.
Oh, that would shit you so much.
Oh, I'd be fuming.
I'm a house painter and a girl I used to work with
would post photos of my work on her painting Instagram.
Lol, she can have it. All of my work is stellar. I love it. We want more.
Take your credit back this afternoon. Brie and Clint.
Chapel Roan, who for the record Brie liked first.
That song's pretty old for me. I was listening to it many many years ago.
We're talking about the claims to fame that people have where they're like
no I came up with that.
Or no I invented that. You only liked that
because I liked that. Yeah I liked that first.
You're actually only into that thing because I'm into that thing.
My partner this morning we were having a discussion
and then she made the bold
claim that she was listening to the
Brat album before anyone else.
If true, she should have a very good position
at the Laneway Festival.
They should have like a little area just roped off for her.
And I mean, you know, I should...
As the biggest brat.
I should give her more credit.
She could have been.
She could have been, yeah.
We don't know.
And if she's right, you should thank her. We don't know Brat
Ground Zero. Could have been her.
It's a really good point. Brat Ground
Zero. So we're asking you
what's the thing that someone took credit for?
Yes, someone texted her and said, when I
was 15, living in the UK,
we came back to school after term
break. A new girl started in our year
and we befriended her. We became really good friends. She had come from Spain and was hella
cool. Anyway, she said she had written a song. The song was actually awesome. Lyrics, tune,
everything. Everyone thought she was the bomb until the song Saturday Night by Wickfield hit the UK charts.
It wasn't her song at all.
It was like a scene from Mean Girls.
Turns out it was released
the previous year in Spain.
Lol.
I've got a bit of the song here. Do you want to hear it?
Yeah. Oh, is this on your... Okay, hang on a second.
Yes. Yes. Okay, go for it.
This is a song.
She thought no one was ever going to hear it.
And then it blew up.
I would be mortified if that was me.
Imagine getting caught out in that lie.
You'd have to change schools.
You'd have to.
I reckon you'd have to.
That's so funny.
Oh, gutted.
What did someone take credit for?
Someone said my store manager took six months off work.
While she was off, I stepped into her role.
During those six months, we had record-breaking sales increases.
She returned, and during a country call, she was given a kudos for the sales.
She sat there smiling and taking credit.
She did not correct them by saying she was away
and she took the $200 gift card for all of her hard work.
You're kidding me.
What do you do in that situation?
Do you pipe up and go, um, I'd be fuming.
Squeeze me.
I'd be absolutely fuming.
Taking the gift card
is the icing on the cake. Oh yeah.
You just shoot her daggers that whole time.
And she'll probably get off the call. If she
is even
mildly good about it, she'd get off the call and go,
hey, the gift card's
yours. How would you live
with yourself? Thanks for the credit. The gift card is
yours. How would you walk around
with yourself
after that?
I'll be fuming.
We were discussing who came up with Friday Oki.
Not audio proof.
And what did you say?
Because I've always maintained that I came up with the idea.
And what did you say?
I said I believe in my heart of hearts that you invented birthday banger
and I invented Friday OK.
Okay.
Okay.
Claude, have you got anything?
Yeah, I don't know if you want to cast your mind back to 2019,
but the beauty of radio is that everything kind of lives on forever.
So on the 14th of March,
there was a very specific conversation happened.
No, my idea. Yeah, what's the idea?
So I had this idea where we'd go head to head once a week
Where we get given a song
And we have to really, really try
Yeah
Like we record it, we pre-record it
Yeah
And we really, really try
Yeah
And then the people vote on who's the least shit.
Look, I like the idea,
but I also think I'm a good singer,
and I'm keen.
So that means you would automatically win then?
I'm trying to put myself in the position of the listener,
and do they want to hear us two sing?
Oh, we could call it The Voice.
Oh, that one's taken.
We could call it Crappy Yoki.
We'll workshop the name.
We'll workshop the name.
I like the idea. I didnaky. We'll workshop the name. I like the idea.
I didn't even come up with the name.
Isn't it crazy?
Because we all have these moments.
All of us.
For some reason where you truly believe.
And then it's only with audio proof or when someone shows you something like that.
That doesn't sound like me, by the way.
You're a bit nasally.
Yeah, I've had a septoplasty since then.
So I feel like I can probably actively distance myself from that and go,
that's not me.
That could be anyone.
That could be anyone.
That could be anyone.
There we go.
Case closed.
But nasally, that could be Vaughn.
That could be Vaughn, yeah.
I remember doing a show with him in 2019.
Birthday banger next.
Definitely Bree's invention.
If you're keen to know yours, 0800 dial ZM right now.
Bree and Clint.
Let's do a birthday banger.
Bree and Clint.
All I want for my birthday is a birthday banger.
All righty, some birthday bangers,
aka number one songs when you turn 16.
Let's figure a few out.
Lucy's here.
Kia ora, Lucy.
Hi, Luce.
Hello.
How's your day been?
You're not too bad, just driving home from work.
I feel like there's a slight laugh underneath your voice.
Is there something you're laughing at?
No, not really.
Okay.
I heard a little Southland accent.
Are you calling from the dirty South?
No, but my partner's from there, so I've probably picked it up.
You've picked it up.
Yeah, okay.
There we go.
It's transferable, isn't it?
Yeah, totally.
Luce, what's your date of birth?
17th of May, 97.
All right, that means you were 16 in 2013.
And back when you were 16, Lucy, this was at the top.
She's a phone night to the sun.
I'm a phone night to get sun.
She's a phone night to the sun.
Banger.
Tune.
I'm a phone night to the sun.
Who doesn't love Daft Punk?
The last ever Daft Punk album too with Pharrell Get Lucky from 2013.
What do you reckon, Lucy?
I haven't heard that song in ages.
Yeah, it's a great one though.
Okay, wait there.
We're going to do Kayla's birthday banger.
Hi, Kayla.
Hi, Kayla.
Hi.
How's your day been?
What have you been up to?
Just working. I'm in the
middle of my shift at the moment.
What do you do? I'm a compliance
officer with the council.
Okay, and is it compliant
with your local council
to call a radio station while on
shift? I'm on my break during
my shift. That is your time.
Yeah, you're good. That is the loophole
as they'd say in the council, am I right, Kayla? Definitely. Alright, mate. That is your time. You're in the clear. Yeah, you're good. That is the loophole, as they'd say in the council,
am I right, Kayla?
Definitely.
Yeah, all right, mate.
What is your birthday?
1st of January, 2003.
Okay, recently.
Happy birthday.
You were 16, though, in 2019, Kayla.
And on that day,
this was number one.
Absolute banger.
Absolute banger.
I agree, Kayla.
It was a weirdly kind of irritating song when it was out originally,
but I think it's a banger.
An earworm.
It was on stage recently, I reckon, that's why.
Yeah, I love it.
I think we did it for Friday Oaky.
I reckon we would have.
Okay, wait there, Kayla. We'll do one more
birthday banger for Erin. Hi, Erin.
Hi, Erin. Hey, guys.
How's it going? Good, mate. What have you been doing
today?
Just same as everyone else. Working.
Working. Back at work.
Same old, same old.
Hey, Erin, what is your DOB?
Mine is
the 28th of October, 1977.
Right, that means you were 16 in the year 1993.
And, Erin, our calculations say this is your birthday bag.
An absolute juggernaut from meatloaf.
Meat!
Loaf!
Oh, meat.
What do you reckon, Erin?
I wasn't expecting that, but I take it.
God, he was good in Fight Club, wasn't he?
Oh, we don't talk about that.
We don't talk about that.
We don't talk about that.
Funny.
It's a goodie.
Wait there, Erin.
Wait there.
We have to choose between Ava Max, Daft Punk
and Meatloaf. Three great
ones today. I
will admit I
my gut
is saying Daft Punk.
That's my vote. My gut is
saying Ava Max, Sweet But Psycho.
I wasn't expecting it and I wasn't
expecting to enjoy it as much as I did.
I'm happy with either or.
Let's give the split vote because she's been very well behaved today.
She's got a new goal and she's sticking to it.
Let's give it to Ella to pick the winner today.
Ella, step up to the plate.
She never gets to usually do this.
Her New Year's resolution is no more screaming on the show and she stuck to it.
So you deserve the chance to pick the winner.
Lucky because I was going to pick Meatloaf.
Were you?
Okay.
What do you reckon, Ella?
I really liked it and my toes were tapping.
I'm going Get Lucky.
Get Lucky?
Yeah.
Daft Punk and Pharrell?
Done deal.
Yay!
We love it.
Lucy, you've won birthday.
Bang a nice work.
Sweet.
Sounds good to me.
She's definitely laughing at something.
Yeah, I feel like she's got like a...
There's something going on in that car that we're not aware of, eh?
Brian Clint at Zidim.
Brian Clint.
Daft Punk on Zidim.
The winner of Birthday Banger Get Lucky
taking down Ava Max and Meatloaf this afternoon.
Oh, stellar line-up for Birthday Banger.
Feels good, yeah.
Brie and Clint.
Brie, for a number of years you have complained to me about the date on which your birthday falls, which is...
January 3rd.
I'm a whinger.
I'm a massive birthday whinger.
I've heard about it for seven birthdays in a row.
So today I've brought in an expert with a novel concept.
Please welcome to the show Mr Jeremy Wells.
G'day, guys.
How are you?
Good afternoon.
Good afternoon.
I believe you might have the solution for Bree.
I actually do have a solution.
I've tried something myself, although I've been full circle on it, to be honest.
So your birthday's on January 3.
Yes.
Everyone's done partying. they've spent all their money they're usually away at the beach holiday no one gives
a shit yeah oh absolutely and no one i mean when you were growing up i imagine people who wanted
to buy presents for you the shops are shut yep on january 1 oh you can just that's a joint present
now yeah totally you've got the birthday christmas combined issue going on nobody wants to party on Pops are shut on January 1, January 2. That's a joint present now. Yeah, totally.
You've got the birthday Christmas combined issue going on.
Nobody wants to party on January 3.
So you're better than January 3.
Thank you, Jeremy Wells.
You don't deserve a January 3 birthday.
You should be another day.
And so that's what I did.
I changed my birthday.
So I used to be January 19th.
I had a similar problem to you.
Wait, that was a couple of days ago.
Happy birthday.
Oh, thank you.
Happy birthday.
But it's not.
But not really.
You've just dead birthday'd me.
Okay, sorry.
Sorry about that.
He doesn't identify with that birthday anymore.
Yeah, yeah.
So sorry.
I'll come back around to why.
We'll circle on it in a second.
But, yes, I changed.
January 19 was even worse possibly than January 3.
Okay.
Because January 19 is when everyone's gone back to work.
They've stopped drinking because if they're like me,
they've been drinking for a month every day.
And so they need to ease it back a bit.
And they want to just chill out.
They don't want to go to a party.
Or worse, in your 20s and 30s,
people had sort of just been to the big day out
and they had no energy left in the tank
to then celebrate your birthday with you.
Oftentimes my birthday was on the big day out.
Oh, that'll be all right.
Can I just say, I feel for you and I understand.
Well, this is the thing.
I feel for you on January 3rd.
Thank you, mate. Thank you.
So what I'm saying to you is
you don't have to have your birthday on
January 3. You were born
on January 3. Correct. We can't change
that now. But you can
change the day that you celebrate your birthday.
You don't have to celebrate it on January 3.
I moved mine
to June 23.
June 23? Why?
What made you move it to June 23?
It's complicated.
But it's the day after the shortest day.
Okay.
So we're on the way to summer.
So we're over the worst.
We're over the darkest darkness.
It's also technically the second worst.
Yeah, I suppose.
But I feel like we're over the hill and down the other way.
In the middle of winter,
it's grim winter, 23
June, although actually July's
worse, but still, it's pretty grim.
There's nothing else to look forward to in that time
of year.
I went with that date.
The other part of it
was there were no other birthdays
of my family or particularly close friends.
It was considered.
It wasn't just an arbitrary number pulled out of nowhere.
There was thought put into your new birthday.
You wanted your own attention and you needed it to be far enough away from everyone else in your life's birthdays.
That's smart.
Yeah.
It's a smart idea.
So I went June 23 and it worked a treat.
I asked my mum about it because obviously she birthed me.
So I thought I probably owe you. God, this is full on. You need a consent. I asked my mum about it because obviously she birthed me. So I thought I probably owe you.
God, this is full on.
You need a consent.
This is like full legit.
This is the process you're going to have to undertake
if you do choose to follow Jeremy Wells' advice
and move your birthday.
Go and talk to your mum and say,
how do you feel about this?
I told my mum that this was what was happening.
So I didn't ask her permission.
I said, this is what's happening.
But just so you know, I'm going to
tell you that this is what's going on. And she
said, what's the date? And I said, June 23.
And she said, oh no. She said, you're
not a June person.
She says, this is all wrong.
So she objected on the fact that
it was the wrong month. She thought I was
more a February person or
possibly April. So
anyway, I stuck with it.
But what happens is all of the people, you end up having a double birthday
because what happens is all the people haven't informed.
Is that a bad thing?
No, it is bad because people think you're double dipping.
But you won't have a double birthday because nobody recognises
your current birthday.
Don't we deserve to double dip though?
I think we deserve a double dip after all the years that we have endured of having a crappy birthday.
You are such a birthday victim.
I would like to now, with the information that you have, you need to make this decision now
because the year is going to get on otherwise and we actually gave you your birthday present yesterday.
Do you want a new birthday?
And if you do, what date is it going to be?
I 100% want a new birthday.
Good on you.
Yeah, I think it's a great concept.
Can I change the year?
Well, can I say the other thing you can do is you don't have to do it on the same day every day.
Every year.
And that's what I've changed.
So this is the full circle I've come to.
Oh, so you're just doing it wherever.
Yeah, but the main rule is you can't celebrate more than 12 months after the last one.
So now my next birthday has to be post-June 23.
And you can't celebrate twice within a calendar year?
No, you can't.
Okay, those are the rules.
They're fair.
I think that's fair.
I'm going to take you up on it.
I'll let you know what date I decide,
but I'm thinking somewhere around the King's birthday long weekend.
Not a bad idea.
Not a bad idea.
I'm looking at you and I'm thinking September.
I feel September-ish.
Spring-like.
We'll workshop it.
You just seem like a spring breath of fresh air.
Thank you, Jeremy Wells.
Thank you for your insight.
I'm glad you were able to share that knowledge.
I think Bree's really going to benefit from it.
Good luck.
Thank you.
That's Jeremy Wells, whose birthday this year is?
I'm staying at this stage on June 23.
June 23.
Okay, thank you very much.
Not.
Brian Clint.
Do you want me to put you to a physical test?
Oh, sure.
Okay.
It sounds a bit sinister, doesn't it?
Well, it sounds a little bit kinky, to be honest.
Yeah, doesn't it?
No, it's not.
It's not at all.
It's quite a...
Do you want to get physical with me?
Do you want to get sweaty?
No, it's not going to make you sweaty.
I saw this and I thought it'd be quite
interesting for us to test out this
physical test theory.
So, according
to this test, they
say that when we lie,
so when we're telling a lie,
our bodies get
really weak.
Oh, okay. Have you heard this before?
No, no. So, anyone listening, if you're in the car or wherever you're listening from,
you can put someone to the test with this when you get home.
It's a simple test.
So all you have to do is Clint's going to put out his arm,
just straight out in front of him like that.
And so say something that is the truth.
So say, I love fresh air.
I love fresh air.
So you're going to say that and I'm going to try and push your arm down
and you're going to try.
Resist.
Resist.
Okay, so ready?
I love fresh air.
My birthday is the 1st of February.
I was born in Rotorua.
It's very difficult.
Yeah.
Very difficult.
Yeah.
Now we're going to test the theory.
How about you say, like a lie, say, I love to vomit.
Okay, yeah.
Okay, which no one loves to vomit. No one loves. Okay, yeah. Okay? Which no one loves to vomit.
No one loves to vomit, yeah.
Okay, so you ready?
Yeah.
And I'm going to push down the same and I'm going to see if it's the same when you're telling a lie.
Okay, sure, yeah, yeah.
Okay, you go.
I love to vomit.
Ah!
Oh!
Isn't that weird?
Ready, do it and tell another line.
Say, I love the Auckland Blues.
I love the Auckland Blues.
Wow.
It's so much.
And I'm barely even pressing now.
Okay.
I am a strong African-American man.
I'm literally just pushing his arm to the table.
That's
fascinating and terrifying
for anybody who is living a
lie and their partner is suspicious
because now they know
how to figure it out. Apparently it's
something to do with how the brain
is structured.
So, right, okay.
Strange. So I'm trying to translate
this to a usable thing. You're at the gym'm trying to translate this to like a usable thing.
Like you're at the gym and say you're trying to like squat
a crazy amount of weight or something.
Yeah.
And they say that you should visualise and you should say,
I can do this.
I am strong.
But if you don't actually believe that,
then you're telling yourself a lie.
Yeah.
So it probably will actually hinder you.
Yeah.
So you need to say things while you're squatting.
You need to say, my birthday is February 1st.
Yes.
I love Frigia.
You can imagine you at the gym.
Everyone's like, oh, that weird guy's back again.
Birthday guy's back.
But he's jacked though.
He's so strong.
Play.
ZM's Bray and Clint. On Insta, Facebook, TikTok and live weekdays from 3 on ZM. He's so strong.
