Slammed his face into a pole. Oh, bless him. Apparently he'll be away for today and tomorrow, so it's just us. But I have heard that maybe a surprise special guest might co-host the show with me tomorrow. Oh. Someone who's never co-hosted before but has appeared on this show quite a lot. Is it Channing? I'd say a household name to our Bree and Clint listeners. Oh, my God.

Have you asked this person? Haven't asked them. Wheel them in. Have not asked them. We'll get them. Yeah, I'd love if anyone can guess who I'm talking about, yeah, they're going to be in the country and I might be able to wrangle them in here,

maybe to do the first show ever. I've never done a show with this person before, but. That's history right there. It is history. The show of the year. I know this person intricately. Been in their womb. Anyway.

Who could it be? Who could it be? Anyway, hey, big show planned for you today. A lot on the way. The Golden Song has not gone. Has not played.

Do people in your life scare you more knowing that? No, people just walk up to me and if I see them before I hear them... You get startled. Yes. Fair enough. The Jumpy Mandy, who will you be taking on this afternoon? Well, this is a bit special.

We've had someone call in, a listener from America. He's 36. And yeah, he's calling all the way from the States. Please welcome to the show, Matt. Hey, how you on? Yeah, there he is. There might be a slight delay because you're calling from the other side of the world.

Bree and Clint. Time for a sibling showdown. Yay! Brother. Brother. Bree and Clint's Sibling Showdown. Yay! Brother. Brother. Brie and Clint's Sibling Showdown. The concept is simple. We think we can tell where you sit in the sibling lineup based on energy,

different characteristics, and your attitude. Don't you reckon, Claude? As middle children, we have a good lay of the land. I was going to say, as middle children, we're very, like, aware of our siblings. We are. To put it kindly. Yeah. And where we are in the pecking order.

Exactly. Usually at the bottom. Yes. But here's how it works. We're going to get you on. We'll ask you a few questions. And then we will try and guess where you are in the sibling line-up. Who's first?

Let's go with Courtney. G'day, Courtney. Hi, how are you? We're good, thanks, Courtney. Now, look, my question for you is do your parents still pay for anything for you? Only my phone bill. Oh. See, even her saying only my phone bill gives hints.

Yeah. Oh, okay, that's given us something. So they still pay for her phone bill. I'm getting, what's the energy you're getting? Oh, I'm getting youngest immediately. Me too, me too. Okay, let's lock it in. Let's not talk about it any longer.

Oh, you want to do one and done. Oh, we do have one more question, don't we? That's usually how the game works. How confident are you feeling? No. Because it would be really impressive if we pull it off. Should we just try? Yeah, let's give it a go.

Okay, let's try. Let's lock it in. We're going rogue. Courtney, are you the youngest? No. Oh. No, I'm embarrassed. Oh, no.

What are you? I'm the sibling. I'm the middle child. Oh. Wait. Are we the problem? Oh, no. What are you? I'm the middle child. Wait. Are we the problem? Oh, no. No, we're always the problem.

We did know. We're always the problem. Hey, Courtney, thanks for calling up. No, thank you. Okay, that's really cool. That would have been really cool if we got it, though. It was worth the risk. It would have been so cool.

We'll just be more careful now. Well, we have to. We have to get two. We have to get two for two now. Two for two or else it's all over. Okay, let's talk to Diana. Hi, Diana. Hello.

All right, Diana. We need to get this right. So let's use both of our questions this time, Claude. Diana, out of you and your siblings, were you the naughtiest? I don't actually think any of us were naughty, really. Oh, that's thrown me. Okay, well, do we get an extra question then?

Can we use any information from there? Yeah, none of them were naughty. They were all good. But if you had to pick one of you, like who is the most... Cheeky. Yeah, who's the black sheep out of all of you? Probably me, yeah. Oh, see, that gives me middle.

Yeah, me too. That gives me middle vibes. But we can't lock it in yet. Let's not lock it in. We've got another question. Okay, next question. Diana. Mm-hmm.

What seat at the dinner table did you primarily sit at as a kid? So how are we describing which seat? Like, so you've got the two heads of the table and then you've got all the ones on the side. And you've got, obviously, the one that's on the corner and then you've got all the ones on the side. And you've got obviously the one that's on the corner

and then you've got middle and then so are you on a corner, middle or at the head of the table? Corner. Okay. That's given me nothing. Yeah, that was a crap question. Who came up with that question? Okay.

Okay. Energy alone is kind of giving me oldest trials. That's same. I was going to say that. But the answers are maybe leaning middle. Oh, we're really stuck between a rock and a hard place. Some might say in the middle. I reckon trust our gut.

I reckon my gut's saying oldest. Yeah. Are you thinking oldest? I think so. All right, let's just do it. I'm nervous. Diana, are you the oldest child? Please, please, please.

No, I'm not the oldest child. If you say middle, I'm going to throw this chair. Do you want me to tell you? Yeah, well, I want to know. I'm the youngest. Oh, okay. I don't feel that bad. I don't feel that bad then.

We were way off. Not good at this game. All right, Diana. See you later. Thank you. Bye. God, I got it. We just need, this is just for pure pride now.

Yeah, we just need one. We just need one. One, one's good. One. Yeah, one is respectable. One's respectable. It's pretty good. Let's talk to Amanda. Hi, we just need one. We just need one. One's good. One is respectable. One's respectable. Let's talk to Amanda. Hi, Amanda. Hey, how are you? Good, thank you. Now, Amanda, my question for you is out of you and your siblings,

who would you say your parents are the most proud of? Is it you or one of your siblings? Yeah, I reckon me, actually. Oh. Did you hear her tone? Very proud. Yeah, and she's like, you know, pretty sure about that. It's me and I know it.

But what does that tell you? That's giving eldest. I was wondering about youngest. Oh, yeah. It gives me eldest vibe straight away. Oh, yeah. It gives me eldest vibes straight away, but okay. This is just a completely rogue question, but Amanda, what do you do for a job? Nurse.

You're a nurse. Oh, see, no wonder the parents are proud. Oh, see, that has given us information. That could have completely thrown this. Hmm. It could be oldest because oldest generally have to look after their siblings. So that kind of caring thing is like. They've got that kind of maternal caring vibe.

But every, I feel like every nurse I know is a youngest child. Hmm. My partner's a nurse, middle. Oh. So, I mean, that's thrown off the stats. What's your gut telling you? Okay, what have we had so far? We've had middle, youngest.

I'm going eldest. Yeah, okay. Locking in eldest. Amanda, are you the eldest? No, you were close. Oh, damn it. What are you? close. Oh, damn it. What are you? Middle.

Oh, no. Okay, next time we just guess middle for everyone. Oh, it hurts. More middle children will statistically get it. Oh, Amanda, well, congratulations on, you know, being the best sibling anyway, and especially doing all that and being the middle child, that's quite the achievement. Yeah, I should have changed my name, actually, in case anyone's listening.

Amanda just boasting about how she's the favourite child. You go, Amanda. Well done. Thanks for calling through, mate. Thank you. See ya. Sibling showdown. What an absolute disaster.

Zero from three. There's always next time. It's only up from here. It is only up from here and off of that performance, I'd be probably the worst child in my family at the moment. Bree and Clint. Clint away, producers in giving me a hand. Now, look, I need to tell you, my trip to Greece.

Oh, yeah, that old thing. I haven't mentioned it. Did you go to Greece? Yeah, I need to tell you, my trip to Greece. Oh, yeah, that old thing. I haven't mentioned it. Did you go to Greece? Yeah, I haven't really talked about it, but I went to Greece. And something I noticed, everyone there is beautiful. Aren't they? Like just Adonises. Absolutely.

Is how I'd describe it. That's exactly the experience that I had too. Yeah. Like just beautiful skin, beautiful features. Like I'm really happy to be here but don't look at me. I stuck out like a sore thumb and when I say thumb, I look like a thumb compared to these people. Like it was not my day.

But there was these two twins that I met. So one of the islands we went to, we decided we wanted to go rent some ATVs, like typical tourists, and travel around the island for the day on these ATVs. And we shopped around and finally we went to this one place and I walked in and I was mesmerised by these two guys. They were identical twins. And when I say identical, like you could not tell them apart. Were they dressed the same?

Yes. So they were both in uniform. Oh, yeah. So obviously dressed the same. But, yeah, beautiful tan skin, green eyes, dark hair. I was just kind of like, God, both of you got these jeans? I'm in the right place. Two for the price of one.

Anyway, they were lovely human beings. So that was the first thing I noticed was they were just very good looking lads. The second thing that caught my attention, because they looked exactly the same, was they both were wearing a name badge. And I was like, wait a second. And I was looking at one and then looking at the other. And I kept getting confused because their names were so similar. Had they like worn each other's like there was one name tag between them?

No, like it was slightly different but so similar I ended up writing it down because I was like this is too good. So one of their names was Xander and the other one's name was Evander. These are my sons, Xander and Evander. They look exactly the same. So we gave them the nearly exact same name. So it's even harder to tell them apart. I don't understand why people do that

because they're not the first identical twins that I've noticed that's happened. I don't know any twins with that kind of thing, but I had some kids that I went to primary school with and their names were Henry was the boy and Henrietta was the girl. Oh no. Why do you do this?

That's weird. But they weren't even like born at the same time so there was no like I got confused and named them both the same thing. They must be the least creative people in the world. Do you know what their last name was? What? Henry.

You're joking. No, that's a true story. Henrietta Henry. And Henry Henry. And Henry Henry. Yeah, 100% true. Oh, we need to call Child Protective Services. That's not fair.

I knew some identical twins when I was younger, like growing up in high school, Tegan and Tani. And they looked exactly the same. And I literally to this day, if you put them in front of me, I could not tell you who's Tegan and who's Tani. 50-50 chance you'll be right. And the weirdest thing was is that one of them, I remember looking on Facebook a couple of years ago,

had identical twins. Oh, what? And gave them similar names. I was like, have you not learned anything? The cycle continues. God, anyway, I thought we could put it out there on 0800DIALZM. Do you know twins? Maybe it's you that have quite similar names.

Like where you just think, why? You could have given them... There's so many names out there. Give them completely different names. They already look exactly the same as someone else on this planet. Give them a completely different name. Anyway, do you know twins that have similar names? Bree and Clint.

I recently spent some time in Greece. I noticed that there are a lot of good-looking humans over there. I met these delightful twins at the ATV rental store. They were identical twins and they were stunning, tall, dark and handsome. That was the first thing I noticed. And the second thing I noticed was they had nearly identical names to match their looks, Evander and Xander. Which is strange.

It's so, like, I mean, they nearly don't have their own identity because an identical twin, I feel like you'd always struggle, you know? So why give them similar names? Your parents dress you the same as you're growing up? Yeah, like you just never have anything that's your own? Can't even tell myself apart. God, like give them their name at least. So we're asking you on 0800DIALS at M, have you just never have anything that's your own. Can't even tell myself apart. God, like give them their name at least. So we're asking you on 0800DIALS at M, have you met twins?

Maybe it's you that have really similar names. Let's talk to Annette. Hi, Annette. Hi. Is it you? Are you the twin or you know twins that have similar names? No, in the 1980s, I lived in New York for a few years and I was nannying and the little boy that was going to school there went to school with Candy and Randy.

Candy and Randy. Yeah. Two girls or a boy and a girl? A boy and a girl. Boy and a girl. Right. Was their dad's name Andy? Yeah.

Yeah. And then mum's name was Sandy. And their auntie Mandy. Yeah. I mean, what a then Mun's name was Sandy. And they aren't Mandy. Yeah. I mean, what a family. That's so funny. Thanks, Annette. Someone texted through and said they met twins

and their names were Yara and Lara. So my kid's Yara and Lara. Or Lara and Yara. I'm not sure which one's which. Yeah. I can't tell them apart. Someone else texted through and said, I know twins and their names are Annette and Amit.

That's so close. Like that's one letter difference. Buzzy. Let's talk to Alicia on 0800 dials at M. Hi, Alicia. Hello. Who is the twins that have similar names that you know? So I went to school with them and one's actually now my husband. Wow, okay.

And they are Liam and Lucas. But when we first got together I actually thought I was dating Liam but I ended up marrying Lucas. Wait, why did you think you were dating Liam? Because they look so alike. And their names are so similar, it's easy to get them mixed up. Yeah. So I was obviously calling one the wrong name for a little while, but, hey, we're married now, so...

It's all water under the bridge, Alicia. Have you ever asked your husband if he would have rathered a completely, you know, unique name to him, or is he quite like having a similar name to his twin brother? He thinks his name's better than his twin, so. His name's more unusual, I'm not going to lie. Like, it's more unique for sure.

Like, Luca compared to Liam. Well, tell Luca I said I think he has maybe the better name in the two. I will. Yeah, I'll back him up. Thanks for calling through, Alicia. No, thank you. See you, mate. Someone texted her and said,

twins at my kids' school are called Hannah and Anna. Oh, that's, why? I kind of get it. Do you though? But it's also like, yeah, because it's like they're twins. It's like a cute little thing. They sound similar. They sound similar. They look similar. But it's also like if you're trying to call one and you're mad at one

you're probably going to get it wrong. Yeah, my mum calls me all of my siblings' names before my name and I'm not even a twin. My dad gets through my siblings and then the dog. Yeah, but the dog comes before you. Oh God. Geez, you're really down the picking line. Someone else said I went to school with identical twins, Josh and Joe.

They really put a lot of creativity into those. Josh and Joe. Josh and Joe. One more. Let's talk to Susan. Hi, Susan. Hi. Who's the twins that have similar names, Susan?

It's my identical twin sister and myself. Cool. Okay, so you're Susan or Suzanne? I'm Susan and she is Sandra. That's pretty close. If you had said you were Susan and she was Suzanne, that was it for me. I was out.

You would have been so mad. No, my mum didn't want us to necessarily have those names, but my aunt and uncle, who are also twins, are Gal and Gary, so Grandma demanded that she did that. Bloody grandmas can be so demanding, can't they? Yeah. Gladys, good on you. Gladys!

And her twin sister, Gail. Gladys and Gail. Hey, Susan, thanks for calling. No worries. See you, mate. Bree and Clint. Gladys and Gale. Hey, Susan, thanks for calling. No worries. See you, mate. Brie and Clint. Billie Eilish lunch. I heard she had an egg salad sandwich for lunch.

I know. Delicious. Ham? No ham? No ham. No ham. Just straight original egg salad sandwich, baby. You're listening to ZM.

This is Brie and Clint. We're about to play What's the Plot? Once upon a time, there was a girl. She was smart, debatable, talented, eh, athletic. Not really. But picking a movie title based on just the plot line, that she can do. Brie and Clint's What's the Plot? Now, look, there is $150 up for grabs right now

with What's the Plot? And normally, when Clinton Roberts is here, he reads out the plot lines and I go head-to-head with someone else guessing what movie that plot line is from. But, Claudia, you're running the show today and you've got a bit of a twist on What's the Plot. Yeah, I've mixed it up a bit.

I've gotten rid of the plot part of What's the Plot and now this game's just called What the? So what I've done is I've taken some audio from the movie, quotes that you may know, and I've started with a tiny bit. Then I can give you a bit more if you don't get it, et cetera, et cetera. It still is first person to guess two movies correct will take home the win, but it's more audio rather than reading.

It's What's the Plot 2.0 or What's the 2.0. Let's talk to Lee because I'll be taking you on this afternoon. Hello. Hello. Now, are you good at movie quotes, Lee? I don't know.

We'll find out, right? Well, hey, you've got to be in it to win it. You've got to give it a crack. Yes. All right. Claudia, you are running the game. I feel like you just gave out the rules. Yeah.

So essentially there's three stages. One clip's really short, then it gets longer, and then it gets longer. So I'll play it, buzz in with your name if you think you know what the movie is. If neither of you know what it is, I'll play the longer clip. Okay. Okay? All right, good luck, Lee. Cool.

Good luck, everyone. Thank you, you too. Here is your first quote. Save your life. Ooh. Ooh, I don't know what that is. Bree? Bree.

The Incredibles? No. Good guess, though. Had to go with something. That means, Lee, you get a free guess. No, I've got no idea on the run. Can I go longer? Yes. We've got a longer clip, I think.

I'll go longer and you can both be back in. Okay. Oh, you guys win me. Free, free. Finding Nemo. Well done. Oh, you guys win me. I'm going to touch the butt. Oh done. Yeah. Yay. Oh, you guys made me yank. I'm going to touch the butt.

Oh, he touched the butt. Okay, Lee, that means I'm one up. You've got to get this one. One point for Brie. Here is another one. I don't want you to be a big, like, man. Brie. Oh, Brie.

Bridesmaids. Bridesmaids. That's correct. Yes! You're good atmaids. That's correct. Yes! You're good at this too. Sorry, Leigh. I feel like the audio component makes me even stronger at the game. It feels like it might.

Maybe I need to go, these are like big movies though. Maybe I need to go more obscure. Because I can tell you exactly where that clip is from. It's on the plane. They've had too many drinks. They're sitting side by side and they're like, no, you look like a ray of sunshine. You look like Cinderella. You look like Cinderella and you smell like pine needles.

I feel like the third one that I loaded in is a bit more like obscure. Do you want to give it a go? Yeah. Do you want to give it a go, Lee, for fun? Okay. Come on then. Okay. Come on, Lee.

This one's just for fun. Silencio, old man. Ooh. Any ideas, Lee? No, no, I'm sorry. No, that's all right. Let's go for the longer. Silencio, old man.

Look, I just drank my weight in Sunny D and I gotta go pronto. Ooh. Is that bringing back any memories? That one's not bringing back any memories for me. Let's go to the longest one. Silencio, old man. Look, I just drank my weight

in Sunny D and I gotta go pronto. Well, you know where the lavatory is. You pay for that pee stick when you're done. Oh. The Breakfast Club? No. Probably a bit newer. You pay for that pea stick when you're done. Oh. I still don't know. The Breakfast Club?

No. Probably a bit newer. Do you remember Juno? Oh, Juno. Yep. Okay, well, I wouldn't have got it. Neither would have Lee. No.

But hey, you know what you have got, Lee? You've got 50 KFC chicken dollars as a consolation prize. Oh, yeah, cool. Thank you. No worries. Talk to you, Bree. Oh, you're so sweet, Lee. Call back any time, okay?

You've been a delight. All right. Thank you. See you, Lee. Bye. Bree and Clint. I want to tell you about this amazing couple that I was reading about this morning because obviously it's been everything Olympics in the recent weeks.

It's been everything Olympics in the recent weeks. It's been amazing. Obviously, it's over now and we're starting to gear up for the Paralympics. That's about to kick off very soon. And I was reading about this amazing couple who they have a YouTube channel, but one of them is an Olympian and the other one is a Paralympian. I think I know the couple you're talking about and they're just like the cutest. So adorable.

Talented. Couple goals, like power couple because they're not just like an Olympian and a Paralympian. Let me tell you about what they've recently done. So Tara Davis Woodhull because they got married recently but Tara is an Olympian. She just competed at the last Olympics. That's just been.

And she's a long jumper from the United States. And she won the gold medal. She won it with a jump of 7.10 metres. Holy, that's a long way. She's the Olympic champion. So isn't that incredible? And her partner, Hunter Woodhull, he's about to compete at the Paralympics. So he hasn't done anything yet because he's about to compete.

But this isn't his first Paralympics. This is his third Paralympics. And at his first one, I think he's won silver and bronze medals and then the last Olympics he was in he won some another bronze medal like he's won heaps of medals incredible athlete incredible athlete and it just made me look at my couple that I'm in what have I done and I think what are we good for what are we bringing to the table I do that all the time have you ever looked at the couple you're in and thought god we're a power couple good for. What are we bringing to the table? I do that all the time. Have you ever looked at the couple you're in and thought,

Like what constitutes a power couple? What do you have to have? What are you are you like bringing to the table which means you are

Okay, love that. I run three businesses myself. What? Yeah. And, you know, we've got the boat, we've got the cars, we've got the trucks. One of my side businesses, like, involves horse floats. And so we just so we work. Is there anything you guys don't do?

Not really. I get involved in all sorts. I basically say yes to most things, and my partner does as well, and we're just there to help where we can and how we can. How long have you guys been together for? We're just shy. We're about three months shy of 14 years. Oh, wow.

So long time. Do you feel like lucky that I, because I feel like you've met someone that, you know, is on the same wavelength or level and you met them at the right time. Do you feel like that? Absolutely. I wouldn't do life without them. No way at all.

We're in it for life type of deal. And yeah. Oh, you're a power couple and you actually love each other. God. I adore him. I hope he adores me too. But yeah, I wouldn't do life without him. No way.

See you. Have a good afternoon. God, I's so cute. Well, congratulations. Well done on being a power couple. Thanks for calling through. Thank you so much. See you.

Have a good afternoon. God, I'm so jealous. Did you hear it? They've got the cars, the boats. The boats. The jobs. The toys. They work hard and they've earned it. They help people out when they can.

And they love each other. They sound like the best people ever. There's someone else text through and they said, my boyfriend and I are both engineers and New Zealand athletes. Does that count? 100% that counts. Yes, that definitely counts. Absolutely.

And a few more people texting through. I like that people are owning it. They're like, we're a power couple. I say you go. You own, own that title. Someone else says, we're a power couple. I say you go. You own that title. Someone else says we're 24 years together. A doctor and a vet. Whoa.

That's a power couple. That's very impressive. Because, like, if the world goes kaput. Oh, yeah, you're good to go. Both those people, we want them in the future. Yeah, well, we'll come in love with you guys. They're bringing stuff to the table, you know. Bree and Clint.

Let's do a birthday banger. Bree and Clint. Bree and Clint. Let's do a birthday banger. Bree and Clint. All I want for my birthday is a birthday banger. All right, number one songs when you turn 16. You sit back and relax. All we need is your birthday. We do the math, figure it out in here, and then we're going to play our favourite one out in full.

Let's kick it off with Stacey. G'day, Stacey. Hello. How's your day been, mate? Yeah, pretty good so far, do you feel? Yeah, pretty good so far, Stace. My mum comes into town tonight, so I'm pretty excited. Oh, yay.

Yeah, very, very excited. Also excited to see what birthday banger we're going to get for you, mate. What is your birthday? 12th of January, 1980. Oh, we lost you there. What was your birthday? 12th of January, 1980. Oh, we lost you there. What was the year? Yeah, 1984. Okay, perfect.

That means, Stacey, you were 16 in the year 2000, and on your 16th birthday, this was number one. What are you doing? Yep, no, that's all right. Macy Gray. What do you doing? Yep, no, that's all right. Macy Gray. What do you reckon, Stace? Yep, no, I'm happy with it. Oh, I think you should be more than happy.

That's an absolute ripper. Yep. I try Macy Gray. It's going to be hard to beat, Stace, so stick around. Let's do Matino's birthday banger. Hi, Matino. Hey, how's it going? Good. How are you? Yeah, you know, just

finished work. Just got home. Oh, lovely. Okay, well, best part of the day then. What is your date of birth? The 4th of May, 1989. Well, may the 4th be with you too, Matino. Thank you. Every year, mate. Every year. Every year, mate. You were 16, though, in

2005, and here's your birthday banger. Oh, yeah. No, it's so cool. I like it. Martino, it's a bit of Jesse McCartney. McCartney? Jesse McCartney, Beautiful Soul.

I like it. I like it too. I think you've got a really good one. There's going to be a hard lot to pick from, Claude. I thought the first one nailed it, but now that I've heard this one, I'm like, this is just as great. Matina, stick around because we've got one more to go. So far, so good. Michelle, do you reckon yours can top the lot?

Oh, I hope so. I have a feeling it might, Michelle. I don't know why, but let's do the numbers and figure it out. What is your date of birth? 21st of April, 1986. All right, that means you were 16 in 2002, and on the 25th of April, 2002, this was number one. I'm a hazard to myself.

God, it's three from three today. Yeah. Michelle. It's old school, pink, don't let me get me. What do you reckon? Yeah, all the way, all the way. It's an absolute tune. Jeez.

Okay, all right. Yeah, if I was you, I'd pick me. Yeah. Well, Michelle makes a good case. Stick around. Hold there, Michelle. We've got to make a decision. This is actually hard.

These are all really good. I like them all. I also like them all. I feel like they're all equally great. But we kind of have to pick one, right? Yeah, they're all equally great in their own way. I feel like my gut, my waters are telling me Macy Gray. See, I thought Macy Gray until I heard Jessie McCartney

and then I was like, okay. Like for a birthday banger, that just like brings back the memories. Oh, yeah, it's got good vibes. But then I love that pink song. Don't let me get me. I reckon we might be split. Yeah, I'm definitely going to lock in Jessie McCartney. You're locking it in?

Yeah. Ella can always pick otherwise. Do you trust her to make the right choice? I mean, to be honest, any of them are the right choice, if you ask me. I'm going Macy Gray. I tried. And, Claude, you did. Jessie McCartney, Beautiful Soul.

Beautiful Soul it is. Oh. I should have known. Yeah. Bloody Gen Z, One Directioner. She's like, that's the closest. Yeah, why not? It is a banger.

Absolute banger. And, Martino, that means you've won birthday banger. Nice work. Woo-hoo. Thank you. Absolute true. And we Martino, that means you've won birthday banger. Nice work. Thank you. Absolute tune. We're going to get it on the air for you right now. Here's your birthday banger. Jesse McCartney, Beautiful Soul, straight out of the TV show 7th Heaven.

Sounds like. Anyway. I'm not mad at that decision. I'm not mad about it either. That's an absolute banger from the 2000s. I was a bit upset at something that was said. Oh, yeah, there was drama going on behind the scenes. There was a bit of drama between producer Ella and I

who looked me directly in the face and said that Macy Gray, I try, sucks. It sucks so bad. I think I could quote that. She said, ugh, ugh, ugh. You have no idea the nostalgia around this song, like how iconic it is.

Well, yeah, I get I don't have like the feeling that probably when it first came out but when I listen to it now, it just makes me feel mad. Why? It's boring. She might have one of the most unique voices of the last century. Okay. Not for me.

Someone on the text machine said, oh no, you didn't. Someone else said fire her. You know what? As punishment, as punishment. Oh, no, you didn't. Someone else said fire her. You know what? You know what? As punishment, as punishment. No, don't you dare. I'm doing it. Birthday banger double play.

Hear that? I'm turning you down. Hear that? Consider this an education. I like this bit. We need to educate Ella. Here it is. Birthday banger double play.

Let's go, baby. When will they go from here? When will they stop? Bree and Clint. Birthday Bang a double play for you Thursday. That's Macy Gray, I Try. I mean, the text machine is divided. It's provoked an emotion and that's what Birthday Banger is all about.

Producer Ella is fuming. Someone on the text machine said, you cannot say that this is boring. And like Billie Eilish, 90% of Billie Eilish's songs have less beat, rhythm and passion. Are you joking? Have you heard her new album? She is, put me in a club and I will dance. I feel like the person who takes that through knew exactly

what they were doing to producer Ella to rile her up. And too easy, damn it. And they've nailed it. A few other people not loving it. They said, is this Marge Simpson singing? Macy Gray is a true icon. She had a couple of other songs that weren't as big as that song. Yeah, she has a few.

She had a couple, eh? Do we have any? They're in the system, but I don't recognise the names. Yeah. Anyway, birthday banger double play. Maybe tomorrow, Clint's away again, we'll do a triple play. Why not? If we get three great songs, here's my promise,

if you're listening now and you come back and tune in tomorrow, if it's three great songs, it's going to be a birthday bang, a triple play. And if it makes Ella angry, even better. Then we'll maybe even do a quadruple play. Who knows? We'll play Macy Gray again. We'll play Macy Gray back to back.

Why not? Guys, we need to talk about the trend that is taking over the world right now, so much so that I paid $4 for a single cucumber yesterday. You don't need a cucumber to do the apple dance. What? Oh, we're on different trends. Oh, sorry. Different TikTok.

Different algorithms. No, I'm talking about the cucumber trend that's taking over TikTok. Social media, it is everywhere. I've seen this, but every time I give it two seconds and then scroll away. We should give it context, actually, if people haven't seen it. We're just saying the cucumber trend. Yeah, whoa. What is it? Well, I don't know what it is.

You can post it on TikTok. I don't. Sounds kind of dirty. It's the cucumber trend that was started by a social media creator named Logan Moffat. He's 23. He's from Ottawa in Canada. And all he does is slice a cucumber and then put a bunch of different things in it,

shake it up, and people are going nuts for it. Take a listen. Sometimes you need to eat an entire cucumber. This is the best way to do it. Obviously, cut the whole cucumber. The container is on my Amazon storefront. I'm doing peanut butter dipping sauce theme, so I'm going to add like a tablespoon of peanut butter and then some soy sauce. Oh, that the whole cucumber. The container is on my Amazon storefront. I'm doing peanut butter dipping sauce theme, so I'm going to add like a tablespoon of peanut butter

and then some soy sauce. Ooh, that was too much. Okay, let's try. Mmm. Oh, this is like actually phenomenal. It's taking over. What do we think? Thoughts, feelings?

It sounds nice. Has anyone tried it? No. Who's tried it? No. The vegan and the vegetarian haven't tried the sensation viral cucumber. I didn't know what it was because every time I see the video, I'm too scared that someone's going to shred their fingers.

Mandolin. The mandolins are very dangerous, and I have seen one person cut their hair so bad they had to go to the hospital. So be very careful if you are using the mandolin. It's actually kind of nice to know what it is. It sounds good. Have you made it? Have tried it. Have you? Not only have I tried it,

I've tried it two different ways. What? Is it worth the hype? Because there's so many videos. I've seen someone make a compilation of all of the videos because there's like 50 of them. And it's every one of them on screen and they all sync up perfectly. I heard rumours. The plastic containers that he's putting the cucumbers into.

Yes, that's on his Amazon storefront. He's linked them to his Amazon storefront and he's getting a percentage. He's getting a cut. Oh, that's a whole thing. So I've made the original kind of one, like the basic one, like soy sauce, sesame oil, rice wine vinegar, et cetera. And then I've made that but the peanut butter version.

Yum. So do we have a drum roll? My review for the cucumber salad. Ten out of bloody 10. Really? If you're not on this trend, what are you doing? It's phenomenal. So worth your $4? Worth every

bloody cent. I hate cucumber. I will be honest, I hate cucumber. I think it's a nothing food. That's an insult. My home is a cucumber free zone because my partner hates it. But if you want to bring some in, I'll give you $2 for half a cucumber. Will you go halves with me? Yeah, I will.

I'll put a dollar in. It's so good. How about tomorrow? Yeah, keen. If I can find $4 for another cucumber because times are tough, we'll make it and try. I'm not joking. It will convert you in a second.

Does it make you full? Like are you full from it? Yeah. Really? If you in a second. Does it make you full? Like, are you full from it? Yeah. Really? If you eat a whole one. A full cucumber? It's quite a big cucumber. It's hydrating.

Give me a telegraph. Look out. Telegraph cucumber. Hello. Anyway, that's my review. Thank you. Give it a whirl, the viral cucumber trend on TikTok. I can't wait.

Bree and Clint. Next Friday is a big day because together with ANZ, ZM is uniting with other radio stations to form a united station this Daffodil Day to raise money. And we're looking to raise over $100,000 plus. And Clint and I have vowed that if we do get over $100,000 plus, we will release our cheeky pics. You know, wink, wink, nudge, nudge, those type of pics. I thought, Claudia, look, we're going into this photo shoot next Monday. I'm very, very scared.

I've never taken photos like this before. Oh, is this a first for you? It is a first for me. And I'm a massive novice when it comes to things like this. So you so graciously have tracked down a professional in the field. Her name is Belinda Bullock. She's an Auckland-based professional headshot photographer who's turned her hobby into a full-time passion

and now specialises in boudoir photography and she joins us right now. Hello Belinda. Hey, how are you? Oh mate, I'm a bit nervous, I'm not going to lie. So that's the deal Belinda, where it's for a good cause, it's for charity. If we raise over a hundred thousand dollars we will be releasing these, you know, a little bit cheeky photos of Clint and myself, but we've got the photo shoot on Monday and I just need all your advice. Okay, good. Okay, so what kind of questions have you got for me? What exactly goes into taking a good type of, you know, boudoir photo?

Is it the lighting that's the key? Is it the angles? What is the number one thing? That's not an easy question to ask because you're right, the lighting is really important. The wrong kind of lighting can make you look really terrible. And when you hear people say, I'm not photogenic, it's generally because they've been photographed in bad lighting.

Gotcha. Or from a bad angle or in a bad pose. So lighting is definitely key. Darker the better, Belinda? I'm thinking darker the better. It depends on the vibe that you want. Do you want moody or do you want like bright and fresh? So it really depends on the kind of look that you're going for. I think we want to keep it light and fresh.

It's for daffodil day. so we want to keep it light and bright, which terrifies me quite a lot. Yeah, so nice flat lighting or nice even lighting will help minimise any wrinkles or any dimples or any cellulite. I hear you. I've seen your figure and you look pretty hot. I think you need to not worry about that too much. And I'm sure that your photographer has you completely covered.

But flat lighting will definitely help with anything that you're worried about with that. Then trusting the photographer and allowing your personality to come out. Okay. The hardest thing that my clients find is to actually be able to relax in front of the camera. So that is the lighting and trusting your photographer and being able to have the connection with the camera are the two most important things. What do you suggest is the best thing to get into that mode, into being a bit relaxed in front of the camera?

Okay, so like 50% of my clients come to me saying that they want to do some artistic nude and then the other 50% are like, no, no, I'm never doing that. And then a lot of the ones that say they're not going to do it by halfway through the shoot because we're having such a good time and the trust is built, then they do decide they want to do artistic nude, but they have boundaries about what they do and don't want to show. And that can be around their jobs. If you're a primary school teacher, for example, you cannot show up. It's around asking questions as well.

Like I make it really clear that once I deliver the photos, I delete all my copies. So you can't come back to me if you lose your copies. But thus you're also covered security wise. They're not going to be stolen off of my computer and turn up on the internet. So it's about sort of like building that trust and then the photographer getting to know you and knowing what your vibe is.

I mean, like you guys are almost doing like that Calendar Girls sort of like vibe, right? Yeah, we're going to strategically maybe place some items in front of certain parts. A really big daffodil kind of thing. It'll need to be a big daffodil, Belinda. Oh, no. Not for Clint, for me.

For me, I've got double Ds, so. Yeah, but there's so many ways in which that you can have implied nude. So you are actually nude, but nothing is being seen. Yeah. There's so many ways to do that that is really beautiful. And just be honest with your photographer about what it is that you want to achieve. That's the other thing, being really honest. These are the bits of my body that I

really like and these are the bits of my body that I don't like. If you love the length of your legs, let's go from an angle that really highlights that and I really don't like my tummy so let's minimise that. So be honest. You sound like an absolute pro Belinda. I kind of wish you were taking these photos.

But if we go again, we will be asking for your services in the area, okay? I mean, wink, wink, nudge, nudge, come on over. All right, I'll wear nothing. A private album that doesn't necessarily have to be. I mean, hats off to you guys, though, that you're doing this for charity. I mean, I think that's amazing that you're willing to do that. I think it's so awesome. Well, I appreciate you saying that so much

because I don't think there'd be any other case as to why I'd be doing it. So I really appreciate you saying that. That was Belinda Bullock. She's an Auckland-based professional headshot photographer. If you like the sound of what she does, get in touch. Text us on 9696. Daffodil Day. It all goes down next Friday.

Bree and Clint. Clint's been away, but God, did we play. Didn't we? Boy, howdy. How poor. You've been on form today. Oh, mate, we've all been on form. And I think it's just because we don't give any Fs anymore.

And it just means you relax. Yeah, what a way to live. It is the best. I always say, you know when you meet certain people who just don't have a care in the world, and I think it's just because they've been able to let go and be free. I'm like, God, I want what they're having.

That's what growing up is, eh? Just, like, caring about the things that you need to care about and then not caring about the rest. Exactly. Like, wearing a bra. I don't need to care about that. Yeah, who needs that? Who needs that?

Not this guy. Not me. Who has two thumbs and doesn't need to wear a bra. Me. Okay. Hey, tomorrow, little insight. My mum gets into town, into New Zealand this evening and Clint's away tomorrow.

And I have a funny feeling it might be the Bree and Mama Di show tomorrow. I really hope so. First time ever. It's never been done. It's going to be the show of the century. Well, you're building it up. It might be just above average. But, yeah, if you're around tomorrow, yeah,

Mama Di might be co-hosting with me and we might be doing Friday Oki Hot To Go Chapel Roan. Imagine my mum doing Chapel Roan Hot To Go. It'll be the only version I ever listen to from now on. Chapel Roan who? It will be the version. Might even top the Ariane de Grande version she did of Seven Rings. Anyway, very fun show today.

We've got heaps on tomorrow. Lots to give away. So stay safe and we'll see you then. Bye. Bye.
