The ZM Podcast Network. Just a heads up, if there's kids listening, this podcast intro has some dirty content in it. Hey guys, welcome to the Bree and Clint Podcast. What are you laughing at? I liked the energy you brought there, that was cool. Thank you. I liked the accent-ish. Do you guys want to hear a story? Something that happened to me last night? Spooky ghost story? You could blame it on ghosts.

All right. I will. So last night I sat down to play a bit of Fortnite. Nerd. Sorry, I had something stuck in my throat. No, Fortnite is not nerdy. It's not. It's cool.

It's cool. And, like, Balenciaga just did a deal with Fortnite to create, like, Balenciaga skins for their characters. Balenciaga's did a deal with Fortnite to create like Balenciaga skins for their characters. A Balenciaga's cool. What? What the fuck? A Balenciaga cool. Carry on, Bree.

Balenciaga's trendy. I mean, I can't afford it, but as if Balenciaga's not cool. I was going to say, so you're going to get some Balenciaga now? I can buy it on Fortnite. Anyway, so I was playing and there's a group of friends like, I think there was me, my friend Amy, my other friend Megan and my

friend Alan and we were playing together as a team. Which means like you're playing with headphones and you can talk to each other obviously as you're playing. Anyway. I was wrong, not nerdy at all. I, shut the fuck up. I don't have a gaming headset So I just use my noise cancelling Bose headphones

Which has got like a little shitty mic in it Anyway, so when you're playing I can't hear anything that's going on around me Anyway, I forgot that that was obviously the situation And I dropped a massive fart as we were playing. And just because I can't hear it, just because I can't hear it, doesn't mean the microphone doesn't pick it up.

And literally, like two seconds later, my friend Amy down the line goes, and Bree, don't act like we didn't all just hear you drop the biggest fart ever. This story is gross. It's hard to blame on ghosts. Could have been ghosts. I said it was ghosts. And you know what?

How'd they know it was me? It could have been anyone. What do you mean how they know it was you? Could have been anyone. You've staked a claim to that characteristic, that personality trait. I keep it real, mate. I like to keep it real. If by keeping it real you mean...

By keeping it real you keep it fresh. There's nothing fresh about that whatsoever. No, fresh to death. My shit don't stink. I thought it was going to be one of those stories like, you know how you hear the guys who, which I didn't think it was going to be this story, but it's similar to those stories where you hear about those people

who get the VR sets with the headphones on and the vr goggles and then they're fully immersed have you seen those and then so you can't see anything and you can't hear anything when you're on the vrs and then you watch the um vr you know adult material and then you start and you're calling me the nerd but you're reading about stuff like this no i'm not reading about i just know you can do it oh how, and how do you know that? Well, I don't do it. I would never risk it. I'd get stage fright.

You know, you've got to sleep out for a reason. I'd get stage fright. Anyway, you get down to business watching your things, and you start doing the things that you do when you're watching those things. And you get burgled. And then someone could walk in. You get burgled. Someone could walk into the room and just sit at the end of the bed until you're finished and then you take the headphones off.

That's why you always lock the door when you're doing those activities. But in virtual reality, you're anywhere. Yeah. But the door, the room that you're sitting in, you lock the door. Yeah, but if you're in virtual reality. Okay, so you're doing it. You're doing it. You've got the headphones on.

You've got the VR goggles. Yeah. So you can't hear or see anything in the real world anymore you've locked the bedroom door yeah me your partner comes home and i see the bedroom doors locked and i'm like oh what's brie up to everything's okay brie brie brie oh shit she must have passed out there must be something bad going on boom i kick down the door i come in there you're just having a vr mesty can you imagine that situation can you imagine it'd be nearly as bad as like the time you got called with that fleshlight i did not i did not i've never used a flashlight

oh i said no i said not to bring it to work they don't vibrate I think Are you the person that You send it back And then they gave it to someone else Oh we're talking about you sex toys in the show today Actually yeah That's horrific My friend used to wash hers in the dishwasher Your friend

A female friend had a flashlight Not a flashlight I said her toys Those type of toys she used to wash it quick question and i'm not going to die on this hell this isn't me trying to be like a mananist or something but why is it empowering for a woman to have a vibrator but it's disgusting for a man to have a flashlight because i guess um the vibrator you can clean quite easily also it doesn't like oh you can whip the bunghole out of the flashlight and let it drain like

fish guts in a boat. It's just so much more sanitary than the... What is an acceptable male sex toy then? Obviously, they're all acceptable. No kink shaving or whatever. Go nuts on the butt plug if you want a butt plug.

That's pretty much a vibrator. Hey, if you're into that, go nuts. What else? A cock ring. Yeah, right. That's fine. Yeah. Because it's not as gross.

There's something about a flashlight that's just. Yeah. Ben, you're going to put a warning on this one, man. A hundred percent you're going to have to put a warning on this. Yeah. Yeah. Good to know. Good to know. Don't you reckon, though? There this. Yeah. Yeah, good to know. Good to know.

Don't you reckon, though? There's just something. Hey, not shaming anyone. Like I said, I'm not here to campaign for men's fleshlight rights. I'm just curious. Not shaming if you do have one, but maybe just rethink. There might be something else better. If you had one, because the term fleshlight,

it kind of looks like a torch. Imagine you had a fleshlight And it was disguised As a torch And so it's got a torch On the end of it Isn't there ones like that? Yeah there is

And then there's a power cut And so your parents Are staying over And they're like Rummaging around They find this torch And you see mum Walking around the house

With the fleshlight torch What do you do? What do you do? It's not turning on Like Anastasia I think I need to Check the batteries To start unscrewing the lid And you're like No What do you do? It's not turning on. Like, Anastasia. I think I need to check the batteries. She starts unscrewing the lid and you're like, no! If you started dating a guy, if you started dating a guy,

you go over to his house and, you know, you're going through his stuff as you do just to figure out, I mean, what? What? I mean, what? Getting a feel for him. Yeah, just getting a feel just to make sure they're not crazy. You should not do that.

No, you want to know he's not an expert. You're opening all those drawers to put all your stuff in there. Yeah. And you come across. Moving in. And you come across one of those. Run. Run.

You run. Are you wearing shoes? If you're not, still run. And get a test if you're not wearing shoes in there. Get a test and cut your hands off if you touched it. They're yuck. Yeah, not super COVID appropriate. They're just yuck.

All right, well. Yeah, well, there it is. But we're pro dildos on this show, though. Oh, yeah. Go nuts on the dildos. Vibrators. I feel like dildos are overrated. Vibrators are where it's at.

Or the ones with both. Now we're getting into personal recommendations. I'm just saying. This is becoming an opinion. Can you send this to someone so I can get paid? Someone offered you to do influencing for them once and you turned it down. You know why I turned it down though?

I've actually never owned anything like that before. Yeah. I actually don't like that before. Yeah. I actually don't own that stuff. Yeah. Well, mate, then stop offering your opinion on Ds versus Bs. Well, I'm not saying I haven't tried stuff from time to time, but I don't own anything. And I'm like, well, I can't really comment.

So how do you know you don't like a fleshlight? How would a woman use a fleshlight? Yeah. Well, she wants a night off She could just Oh no That's a good place to end it Make sure you put that warning on

Can we also not have the splash today? Yeah we're doing We're going to dry dolphin okay Hey Google What's the time? It's 3pm give or take a minute Alexa, play ZM on iHeartRadio Playing ZM on iHeartRadio

I don't know if you've ventured out of your house yet or if you're here, but there's a lot going on. Like all of a sudden, there's motorways, there's cars on the motorways. There's people in drive-thru queues. I drove past two drive-thrus on the way here. Oh, yeah?

Finally, the day has come. You know what it actually felt like for me this morning? And I know people who aren't in Auckland will be like, oh, we experienced this ages ago. But you know the feeling. Just take yourself back there. It felt like Christmas morning. That's actually what it felt like.

There was something there was something to be excited about when you woke up right yeah and there hasn't been there's been groundhog day in auckland for 35 days in a row and this morning as you opened the curtains there was a little bit of optimism you know there was a little bit of something different there was something else to think about you know like you can go um pick up some stuff that you ordered from you know a shop if you want like with um click and collect you can you can go pick up some stuff that you ordered from, you know, a shop if you want. Like with Click and Collect, you can order takeaways. You can, you know, it's just so good.

It's also people go, oh, what's the big deal? Level three is just level four with takeaways. It is, but it's also symbolic because it's a step in the right direction towards a level two, you know, and that's when things really change. You've got to go through a three before you do a two. So it just makes me happy for us. We're excited to do our three. You know who I really want to talk to today?

And if you know this person, who was the person that set up the blue tent outside the KFC in the drive-thru? Oh, Papakura, KFC. Where are you, you national hero? And what did you get? Yeah. And what did you take through the drive-thru? Like, did you have your car parked in the car park

and then sleep in the tent? I don't know. Because you can't walk through the drive-thru. No, well, that's a good point. Imagine you spent the whole night in the tent and then you walk through the drive-thru and they're like, sorry, I can't serve you. You're like, I've been out here all night.

I've been waiting 36 days and I just slept on a curb. Give me some effing chicken. I want some KFC so bad. Me too. Yeah. I wonder if we can sort it out before the end of the show. But I'd love to hear from people. I think we should do this again.

Are people in the drive-thru right now? Yes. And what are they getting? Yes. It's Auckland's turn. It's Auckland's turn. It's Auckland's turn. We did this with the rest of the country when they dropped down to level three, like three weeks ago or something.

A long time ago. A long time ago. And I loved hearing what people's first orders were after spending a long time in lockdown. And I want to hear from Aucklanders. Driving in today, I saw two separate drive-thrus on my way to work and both of them had queues that were about 25 cars long. They'd set up cones around the car park to make sure the cars knew where to go properly.

So there are people listening to us in drive-thrus right now and we want you to call us on 0800 dials at M. You're in the drive-thru. You're not really doing anything. You're just waiting. We want you to call us, 0800 dials at M. What's the order? Yeah. And I want

answers as to why you're picking that particular order. You've had a month and a half to think about this order. It better be good. And mainly can you get something for us as well? 0800 dials at M. Let's see if we can find Auckland's

best drive-through order. It doesn't matter what takeaway you're getting. Best drive-through order right now. Let's see who's got it on lock. All right. Oh, 100 dials at M. Today, Auckland can get takeaways again in level three. That's right.

And we want to know what you got. What was your first order that you decided to get in Auckland now that we're in level three? You can still call us 0800DIALZM. Maybe you're not in the drive-thru right now. Maybe you've had your takeaways already. Maybe you're in the regretful stage where you were like, I want it, I want it, I want it. I've got it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I'm sick. I've got too much. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I've got too much. Anna's actually in the drive-thru right now and we're going to cross live to her. Hi, Anna. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I've got too much. Anna's actually in the drive-thru right now, and we're going to cross live to her. Hi, Anna.

Hi. Hi, Anna. This is exciting, mate. First of all, which drive-thru are you in? I'm in the KFC in Albany. I'm so jealous. Okay. What are you thinking about getting?

Have you ordered yet? Well, yes, I have, and I've been in the queue for 40 minutes, and I just said, can I have three Zinger boxes, please? And he said, we're not doing burgers today. No! I've heard this. You've got to do your research. Okay, that's okay.

Still plenty of good stuff. What are you going to get instead? Well, I just said, can I just give me some chicken? This is for my kids. I don't even eat KFC, so I don't know what to order. I just said, just give me chicken. And he said, well, what sort of chicken? I said, no, just give me some chicken. What does he mean, what sort of chicken? You want KFC, so I don't know what to order. I just said, just give me chicken. And he said, well, what sort of chicken? I said, no, just give me some chicken in a bucket.

What does he mean, what sort of chicken? You want KFC chicken? Drums, wicked wings. Yeah, that's what he said. And I said, well, just give me a bucket of chicken. And then he tried to upsell me, and the bucket of chicken was $60. Oh, he upsold you, all right. Anna, you're getting a lot of chicken.

Oh, Anna, there's a lot of chicken Also, can you just put Can you put us on loudspeaker for a second, Anna? Yeah And just put the phone out the window I'm not It's a very big queue, Brie You need to be a bit patient

I'm not there yet Oh, damn it I was going to yell out what I wanted So I could tack it onto your order You're not upgrading me to a $60 bucket of chicken for you. No, we're going to get you two. We're going to give you $120 worth. If you bring me the chicken, I'll pay for yours.

Oh, contactless delivery. Okay, that's not a bad deal. Contactless, yeah. Okay, Anna's getting some chicken. Let's go to Bethany. Hi, Bethany. Hi, Bethany. Hi.

Are you getting food or are you delivering food? I'm an Uber Eats driver. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. You poor thing. How's today been for you? I'm an Uber Eats driver. Oh my God, Bethany. You poor thing. How's today been for you? No, it's been so good. From 9 o'clock this morning, non-stop. It's manic. I guess that'd be awesome

because you want to make some, you know, especially after being in lockdown for however many weeks. Like, this is great. It's driving me crazy, lockdown. It's the most money I've made since Uber, so thank you for ordering. What's the best order you've delivered somebody today? The best order today? I mean, I've been non-stop going back to Macca's the whole time.

A lot of Macca's orders. What about, has anyone been kind with the tips? Unreal. So good. $55 tip today. You got a $55 tip? Yeah. That's awesome. Wow. That's huge. Okay, that's bloody good. I love that and that's also a good reminder that, yeah, be kind to

these people and tip them if you can because people who survive off Uber haven't been able to work at all basically for 35 days now. If you can spare a few dollars here and there, give them a tip and show that you appreciate them because I know I do. Man, I want some of Anna's $60 bucket of chicken.

Where's – I need – why is she hung up? I need to talk to her. We're doing a deal. I think it's quite a lot of chicken. I think she needed both hands. I'll get four times that amount. Enjoy your orders, New Zealand. Enjoy your takeaways. Time for the latest.

This is the latest live from LA with Dean McCarthy. Dean, some horribly sad news today and for Sex and the City fans, you will know him as Stanford Blatch, but the actor Willie Garson has passed away. He has passed away. It's absolutely devastating. He played Kerry Bradshaw's best friend, sidekick in the Sex and the City series,

Willie Garson, at 57 years old. He had struggled with cancer in the past. We knew that. He was currently a part of the new Just Like That series, the reboot of the Sex and the City series. I'm not sure how much they filmed or if they filmed anything at all with him, but really, really sad. We haven't heard from Sarah Jessica Parker yet.

They were best friends on screen and very close friends off screen as well. I know that for sure. You know, I think the director of Just Like That has released a beautiful statement as well, and a lot of the Sex and the City cast have released statements. Nothing from Sarah Jessica Parker yet.

She's probably still comprehending what's happened but really sad. Stanford was just such a great character and just a great guy. Sorry if you already covered it.

Do we know if he has shot any of the stuff for the new Sex and the City show? Is he going to be in the new series? He does say in this article, I've got to hear, Dean,

that apparently it seems like he did shoot some stuff even while he was sick. It said his spirit and dedication to his craft was present every day filming the reboot and just like that, he was there giving us his all

even though he was sick. Really, really nice tweet from Cynthia Nixon who plays Miranda. She said, so deeply, deeply sad we have lost Willie Garson. We all loved him and adored working with him. He was endlessly funny on screen and in real life. Those episodes that he is in in the new series will be so special but so hard to watch as well, right?

Oh, that's really sad news, especially for Sex and the City fans. That is the latest. Live out of Los Angeles with our Hollywood correspondent and Sex and the City expert, Dean McCarthy. Brian Clint. Mental day across the Tasman today, in Melbourne in particular. They're having massive protests from construction workers clashing with police over there.

And then, just come through in the last couple of hours, a 5.8 magnitude earthquake has hit the city as well. Honestly, what is going on? What is going on? To find out, we're catching up with our mate Jase Hawkins. G'day, Jase. Jase, leave that in. Come to Melbourne. You'll have a great time.

It's a beautiful city. Joke's on me. Guys, this is what regret sounds like on the telephone right now. How locked in to that gig are you guys? We'd love a third. We'd love a third. Spread the workload a bit.

You literally left here, what, three years ago and I think you've been in lockdown ever since. We got I think a year and a half of normal living. Wow. And it's just been nuts ever since. And then today, the earthquake just topped it off. I was talking to Ben, producer Ben, off the air.

He's like, oh, mate, just sum up the vibe. And I'm like, I can think of a four-letter word, but I'm not sure if we can say it on the show. Do you want to give it a go? I've got a sense of beep here. Yeah, totally. A bit more lax here in New Zealand. It's pretty f***ed.

Is that four or six letters? I feel like it's six letters. Really? Are we doing that at the moment? Does it matter? Let's just talk through your life at the moment. Are Melbournians still in like a full lockdown over there? Yeah, yeah.

So they finally revealed like a roadmap out the other day. Keep in mind, we've been in lockdown now for a few months. It started as a five-day snap lockdown. Yeah. That's why whenever you see other states go, we're going into a three-snap day lockdown, we're like, don't believe it. That's how this started. So we've been locked down, yeah, for a few months again. Roadmap came out the other week saying like when things are going to start to open. I think it's another four weeks until like kids go back to school. I've got two young kids. They'll go back two days a week. Right.

And then I think kids return full time to school three weeks before the end of the year. The kids have spent more time at home since last March than at school. Like it's just been mental. What's that been like for you? Have you been putting your TAFE teaching degree to use? You got the cens sensor button again ready? We'll just run it over the whole interview. It's impossible.

It's really hard. Like, we're doing a breakfast show here, and, like, I'll go to work and then come home at, like, 10, 30, 11, and my wife's just broken, and then, you know, I want to try and give her a break, so then you're on. It's just, you know. Yeah. You know, you guys know what it's like.

You just did a few weeks and stuff, but it's just when it drags on and there's just no end in sight, you know? And then you've got a bunch of people in high-vis at the moment who are basically beating everything up on the streets. They're kicking dogs. They're throwing cans at reporters. They're smashing cop cars. The protests are going on in Melbourne.

It just makes no sense. Like, you're sitting at home watching going, what's that going to do? And then the biggest problem, I mean, half of them are tradiesies half of them are anti-vax people dressed up as tradies i've got a mate of mine that lives up the street who's a flora who now can't work for two weeks because all that crap's going on in the city so they've shut down the whole construction industry for two weeks so people that were doing the right thing are now out of work right it just makes no sense that today they're not mucking around they're shooting with rubber bullets if the you

know they roll into the city they get shot with a rubber bullet. It looks like the Hunger Games. The pictures we're seeing come out are just mental. And then you chuck an earthquake on top of that. It looks very reminiscent, and I hope this is not too triggering for people when they see it, but it looks very reminiscent of Christchurch and the earthquakes that went down there. A lot of old buildings and some damage. How bad is the earthquake in Melbourne today, Jase?

Did you feel it? You know what? Yeah, from my time in New Zealand, I never actually felt one when I was there. And then today, we were in the kitchen when it hit. And, oh yeah, you could feel it. And at first I was like, is that a truck? Because you ever think, we never get them here. So it took us a couple of seconds to work out what was going

on. Kids were freaking out, running out in the street. You know, you guys know too well what it's like. Everyone was out in the street, you know, going, did you feel it? Did you feel it? Some buildings came down in Chapel Street, which is like, you know, in the heart of the city, shopping precinct. They evacuated everyone in high, not that anyone was in there, but you know, any essential workers in high rises, they evacuated as well. It was just a feeling of like, really? Really? Now this? Like, what's next? Yeah, totally.

It's a never rains but it pours situation. Bloody hell. All right. And so then you have an afternoon off and then you've got to get back in the radio studio tomorrow and make sense of it all. Geez, you've got a bit on. I've got a week off. I've got a week off.

Oh, must be nice. Must be nice. Yeah, I was like, oh, do we do Hawaii, Fiji? No, I reckon we'll just stay inside, though. Yeah, I was like, oh, do we do Hawaii, Fiji? No, I reckon we'll just stay inside, though. Yeah, right. Yeah, and have the kids at home and be homeschooling on your holiday. It sounds delightful. Oh, yeah, this is the perfect.

All I need is a little coffee and an umbrella in it, and I'm good to go. Nothing like a natural disaster in the middle of your pandemic-induced holiday, right? Yep, as long as they don't shut down Murphy's or the bottle shops, we are all good. There he is, everybody. ZM's very own Jase Hawkins, live out of Melbourne. Stay safe, man. Good to talk to you. See you, Jase.

Thank you, guys. Talk to you soon. Brian Clint. Saw an interesting article about Aussie star, what would you say, pop star turned reality TV host slash icon Sophie Monk. Oh, yeah. Love Sophie Monk. She's an absolute gem, isn't she?

Just true blue Aussie and she was talking about the 10 years where she lived in the US. Remember she dated one of the Madden brothers? Yes. Anyway, she lived over there for- She was in Bardo, right? Yeah. She was in Bardo.

Yeah. She also, if you still don't have Sophie Monk placed, she's the host of Love Island Australia. Exactly. Yeah. Yeah. You probably, you'd recognise her if you saw her. Yeah.

Anyway, she was talking about in an interview something that blew her mind when she lived in America. And it was so interesting because before I even read the article, I thought of something that blew my mind when I lived in the States for a couple of years. Yeah. Turns out it's the same thing. Right.

Because quite a big deal for people that live in New Zealand. Pretty common thing. What's something that most Kiwis will do right at the end of the night where, you know, maybe you need something a bit hot? Oh, heat up your wheat bag. No. No, not heat up your wheat bag. No. No, not heat up the wheat bag. Microwave.

Sit down and you want to... Oh, have a cup of tea. Have a cup of tea. Yeah. You want to have a cup of tea. Very common in every Kiwi household. And what do you do to have a cup of tea? Put a jug on.

You put the kettle on, you put the jug on and you just flick it on and it boils. Do Americans not have jugs? In America, when I lived there, one of the first things I remember being like, does anyone want a cup of tea? And everyone's like, oh, we don't have a stove kettle.

And I was like, what? That's the only way they boil to make tea. Oh, those old school ones that you sit on the element. They put it on the stove. they boil to make tea. Oh, those old school ones that you sit on the element. They put it on the stove. The whistling kettle thing that hipsters have in their house now. They don't have electric kettles.

Really? Well, I guess they don't drink tea, do they? No, there's a good reason as to why they don't. Why? Because their coffee's so weak that they think it's tea. Well, I was quite shocked. I was like, this is so weird. I was like, because you don't just use it for cups of tea you use it for a lot of different things

yeah use it for sterilizing things use it for i mean you know making coffee i use it to unblock the drain this morning two minute noodles a lot of things anyway so it turns out that in america their power points only have a voltage of like 100 to 127 yeah whereas in like australia or new zealand ours go to like 220 240 so the kettle actually doesn't work in their power socket because it draws too much power yeah so how do they make hot drinks over there do they just not on the stove they make them really well that's how they made sweet tea and that was all done on the stove. Really? Well, that's how they made sweet tea and that was all done on the stove. Yeah. Like, because you know what else didn't work when I lived in America?

I took my straightener over there. I think it was a GHD at the time or maybe a Cloud 9. I can't remember. One of those, like the good one, doesn't work in the PowerPoints. Same thing. Same thing. Yeah, right. It can't draw enough, like, power.

Yeah, wow. Isn't that interesting? Yeah. I mean, watching Ted Lasso, I get a feeling that Americans don't really enjoy a cup of tea. They love sweet tea in the South. What is a sweet tea? So sweet tea is where you put a pot on the stove and you put like heaps

and heaps of tea bags and you boil it and then you pretty much get a whole like entire hessian bag of sugar and you boil it and then you pretty much get a whole like entire hessian bag of sugar and you put that into the pot and then you stir it around and you drink it cold. Oh, right. So you brew it hot and then drink it cold. And then drink it cold.

Yeah, right. I got addicted to it. Did you? Yeah. Right. That's why I came back nine kilos heavier. Auckland has just re-entered level three. It's been a very long time since we've been in a level three lockdown.

And I don't know about you, Bree, but I'm not 100% clear on what is and isn't okay. I don't really know. And I feel like this lockdown, some of the rules have changed from other lockdowns. So it's probably a good idea to refresh the rules. Yeah, I've got a cheat sheet here we'll run through some of the things so this is for level three not for you guys in level two it's for the 1.4 million aucklanders who today woke up to a level three lockdown uh so can you go back to work in level three what do you think uh no no you shouldn't you have to stay at home

if you can work from home you still have to work from home. Can you go to restaurants in level three? You can if they can give you food contactlessly. Click and collect. But you can't sit down for a meal in a restaurant. No, that's like Bunnings and stuff, isn't it? Click and collect. It's contactless. Contactless, yeah.

Contactless. Pick up. Pick up. Basically, the FPOS machine needs to be on a long board so they can pass it to you out the window and you do a pay wave. Can you see your friends and family in level three? No. No, you can't. No. At level three, you must maintain your existing

household bubble. You cannot invite friends and extended family over who are not already part of your bubble. Okay. So just stick with what you've got. Because I feel like last, the very first lockdown, you were allowed to add one more person to your bubble, whereas that's changed this time.

Was that? Oh, okay. I'm pretty sure, yeah. It's been so long. It's been a long time, yeah. I want to ask Producer Ben this one. Ben, what do you think? In level three, can you go tramping, mountain biking, or hunting? You can't go tramping unless it's within your area.

It's like a day walk. Correct. I would have said yes, you can go tramping so long as it's in your area and it's less than a day. So you'll be tramping up and down Mount Eden. Yeah, I can do that and I have been doing that. That's a bloody good time. He's been doing that daily.

You're allowed to go mountain biking or horse riding if you're an experienced mountain biker or horse rider. What constitutes experience? Yeah, I don't know. A bit vague, that one. to go mountain biking or horse riding if you're an experienced mountain biker or horse rider what uh constitutes experience yeah i don't know but vague that one um maybe don't take it up i think that's the advice you know what it is is i think they're saying don't do it if you're not super confident that you're not going to get hurt which will then entail bringing people out there to deal with you and you have to go to hospital. And putting pressure on the health system, all that stuff. So basically just avoid the mountain biking and hunting for a little while,

if you can. Can you travel to a different region for recreation in level three? No. No, you're right. You can't travel out of your area. No trips down the Southern Motorway to pick up $100,000 for your gang mates. $100,000 worth of KFC. Well, you can get it in Auckland now,

so you don't need to. Can you travel within Auckland? Ah, that's, I don't know. Yes, you can. You can travel locally. What does that mean? If you need to. It means you can go to the supermarket

and stuff like that. Like this weekend, if I want to take my dog Whitney to a different dog park. So long as it's still deemed as local to you. Oh, okay. So like 15 minutes? Yeah, 15 minutes I think is all right.

I feel like it's fine. Yep. Can I use public transport including taxis and Ubers? Taxis and Ubers, I don't know. Yes, you can. I feel like that's... But only if you're accessing local services and businesses, going to work or school, going to low-risk exercise, visiting people in your bubble, or travelling to permitted gatherings.

What about after a night out and you need to get home and call an Uber? Well, where were you on your night out? I don't know. Because your only night out should be in the lounge and you get an Uber home to your bedroom. Yeah, it's quite a long way. Well, in that that case then yes excellent and uber is absolutely okay uh stick to the plan everybody we want to go to level two level three is fun for a bit you'll be sick of it in a week we want to get down again okay stick to the rules i'm simon found and i host business is boring a podcast that reckons it's anything but.

Free in Clint. First down level three for Auckland. Everybody else in level two, we're still in some form of lockdown, so let's keep doing a morale boosting request. Dr. Ashley Bloomfield actually commented on this

in the 1pm press conference. He said this has contributed to New Zealand actually moving down alert levels. He said it's unified the country. ZM's morale boosting request has had a massive effect on the country. And does he want us to come over for dinner or? We can't because we're still on level three.

But he ranked them. He said it's basically gone the vaccine, lockdown, morale boosting request. That seems pretty accurate. Those are the three tools New Zealand is using to fight the Delta variant. I like that. I like that a lot. We don't have a judge yet, but we would like one if you want to be our judge this afternoon.

An impartial judge to pick the morale boosting request. The Kiwi bangers version. Please give us a call now. I know 800 dials at M. We'll begin deliberation with an icon, a classicwi Bangers version. Please give us a call now on 0800 DALZM. We'll begin deliberation with an icon, a classic and a past winner. Is Poirier this afternoon's morale boosting request?

Whether it is or isn't, I think it needs to go through to the finals. Absolutely, it's going through. Robin, you would agree Poirier is a morale booster? 100%. 100%. Definitely up finals. Absolutely, it's going through. Robin, you would agree Poirier is a morale booster? 100%. 100%. Definitely up there. Okay, it's in.

What about Crowded House? I love this song, but don't know if it's the morale boosting. It's a bit down buzz. Yeah, a little bit. Robin, are you happy for us to eliminate Crowded House from the morale boosting request? Yeah, this time around.

Get rid of it. All right, get rid of it. Love Crowded House, but fantastic. Yeah, all right. What about Dave Dobbin? Yeah, it's a morale booster. It's a feel-good song, right? Absolutely.

Yep, yep. It's in. Okay, good. Dave Dobbin goes through to the finals. What about Bree's request for True Bliss? Now we're talking! Someone texted in and said True Bliss, so it's got to go in for consideration.

The girls! Joe Cotton and the crew. Robin, is True Bliss today's morale-boosting request? I think that's the top runner. Yes, Robin! A bed not win. She's onto it, this Robin, I tell you. What about TikTok sensation How Bizarre?

How bizarre. How bizarre. How bizarre. One of the biggest TikTok trends worldwide of the last 12 months. Does the Otara Millionaires Club go in as a morale booster? Robin? It's no True Bliss. Yeah. Like when I hear how bizarre, I'm like

could be better. Could be more like True Bliss. Alright. Well, I'm in the business of eliminating songs, so we'll eliminate it. What about the boys? The boys. Did we just play this? Not this.

Oh, another one. Another 660 song. Another 660. I love, love this song. It is very uplifting, but I feel like 660 get played quite a lot on our station already. Robin, are we eliminating 660 from the morale boosting request? Yes, I think I'll eliminate it. Okay.

There's only one other suggestion and it's another Dave Dobbin track. Bliss. I mean, it's half true bliss, Robin. There's more of a Friday banger, that one. Oh, okay. Robin's onto it. I'd like it in the final, so I'm going to vote this one in.

I say Bliss is through, and that leaves us with four songs. Here they are, guys. You need to pick from these. Either Poirier. Slice of Heaven. True Bliss. Or Bliss Here we go everybody Take this seriously

The winner is Say it together 3, 2, 1 Bliss True Bliss Okay we've got Three different votes Bliss, True Bliss

And Poor Year Which means that Slice of Heaven is gone. We will vote again. The winner of the morale booster request today is... Poirier. True Bliss. Love you, Robin. We love you, Robin.

Call back any time. You're in jail. There you go, everybody. Here's your morale booster, Brie and Clint. I don't know why I hate it. Brie and Clint. Time for Google Down. What the hell? I think Google's actually...

Google Down is back for another week and there's 50 KFC chicken dollars on the line. This is how it works. The guys here in the studio, Clint, producer Anastasia, producer Ben, will take on one person and I will be reading out questions from Google that I've put into Google.

All you have to do is yell out the most common answer that comes up for that question. If you're right, you get a point. If not, you're out of that question. First of three wins. There we go. Today, taking us on a Google Down is TJ. Hi, TJ.

G'day, TJ. Hey, guys. How are you going? Good, mate. How are you? Yeah, good, good. Have you heard this game before? Oh, I have.

Oh, excellent. So you know the rules? Yep. So just yell it out as soon as you know. If you think you know the answer without having to Google it, that is also an option for people. But just know if you take that stab and it's wrong, you're out of that question.

Got it. Is everyone ready? I'm ready. I'm ready. TJ, are you Googling on a phone? Yeah, I'm on a phone. Okay, perfect. That means the crew in here will be Googling on phones as well.

Here comes question number one. When did Walt Disney start his company? When did Walt Disney... 16th of October 1923. I'm going to say producer Ben got in there just. He only said 1923. Well done, Ben. I didn't say for the full date. I just said I was looking for the year. That is unfair, but I'll take it. Question number two. What year did the movie Get Rich or Die Tryin' come out?

Obviously the 50 Cent movie. No, it's the November 2005. 2005. Right. 2003. Producer Anastasia got it. 19 November 2005. I did the 50 Cent song, Get Rich or Die Trying.

Question number three. One to producer Ben, one to producer Anastasia. Which show has won... Huh? Which show has won the most Emmys ever? Obviously, after the Emmys being this week. Saturday Night Live. Saturday Night Live. Is it Saturday Night Live?

Producer Ben got in there just now. No. Producer Anastasia. She's sitting on two. Producer Ben's still on one. Come on, TJ. This is your one. Here we go.

Question number four. Who was the first woman on the moon? Christina Koch? Astronaut Christina Koch? Christina Koch? Who was the first woman? Wait, has a woman not gone to space? That's a trick question.

Producer Anastasia has just won. Has a woman never landed on the moon? No woman has ever been on the moon. Only 12 men. Man, get your stuff together, woman. What are you doing? Go to the moon. They're so lazy.

12 guys have done it and not one woman has made the effort to go to the moon yet. You know what? Even after he keeps trying, it doesn't get any funnier. How many points did you get? The male in the room? Bree and Clint. But I've got a bit of fashion news for the show.

If you're new to the Bree and Clint whanau you might not know this but Bree and I are big in fashion circles. Oh yeah, we wear double denim and pull it off. Yeah, we've both got a blog each. Before COVID we were meant to be front row at New York Fashion Week. I've got two blogs now. Do you? Yeah, I started a new one. Whoa, we've both got a blog each. Before COVID, we were meant to be front row at New York Fashion Week.

I've got two blogs now. Do you? Yeah, I started a new one. Whoa, mega blogger. Whoa, you're all blogged up. That's one way I would describe myself, after eating cheese. This fashion news relates to superstar Olivia Rodrigo,

who has been spotted at the iHeartRadio festival over the weekends wearing a New Zealand designer. This is cool. Big deal. The first time this happened was when Rihanna wore some Karen Walker sunglasses and we all lost our shirt. We're like, they're from New Zealand. She's wearing sunglasses from New Zealand. Does she know?

Does she know us? Does she know us? Has she seen Shortland Street? You can see there Olivia Rodrigo is wearing a corset, a beret and a pair of vintage jeans. I bet it's one of the cool brands like Stolen Girlfriends Club or Deadly Ponies. Yeah, or yeah, you reckon? It's got to be like one of the cool Kiwi brands like that.

The Kiwi designer, the label that Olivia Rodrigo was rocking in Las Vegas and on her Instagram to her 17 million fans was the House of G Glassons. Yes, Olivia. Welcome, my friend. That corset that you see Olivia Rodrigo there wearing is currently available on the Glassons website for $34.99. Makes me like her so much more because anyone would know the house of G is the OG.

The pants she's wearing are a pair of vintage Jean Paul Gaultier jeans from 1992. Don't know where the beret's from, but the corset she bought off the Glassons website for $35. And she's, like, confirmed that it's from? It's confirmed. It's 100% confirmed. Well, say goodbye to getting that corset.

I checked today. Is there any? It's still available. And for that reason, I thought we are fashionable, you and I. I've purchased us a corset each. And I thought that. No, you haven't. I have.

I thought that you and I could recreate the Olivia Rodrigo look and we could both pop on a $34.99 Glassons corset. Well, this is awkward that you've bought a corset and we've just gone to level three. Well, why? Because takeaways. Oh, I see. Yeah, well.

Not good timing. We're going to see all of that level four bod inside this corset when they arrive. What size are you, by the way? I've got big ta-tas, so I'm going to say, you know, I'm rocking some 12 double Ds up here. Yeah, good. That's what I guessed. Excellent.

Thank me later. That's $70 well spent. Thank you so much. I've got a story for you a situation where let's have a chat about who is the a-hole in this situation so they've written in and they've said my best friend which is a guy

I'm a female has been having an affair it's not the first time he has done something like this the wife knew about the first instance and forgave him and took him back. A few weeks ago, we had a talk and he let slip that he's been playing around again. I had a suspicion, but he refused to tell me due to knowing that I wouldn't be impressed. My question is, am I the a-hole for not going to her with my suspicion that he was cheating?

Bear in mind, I've known her as long as I've known him, and he is my friend. She was simply a friend through being his wife. Oh. See, it's an impossible situation. When you find out that someone you know is cheating and you know both people in the couple, you're so compromised, and it's not your fault. It's a horrible position to be in.

You're just stuck in the middle of this thing. And the classic is to give him the ultimatum, right? And say, you tell her or I will tell her. Yeah. And I think that's, but then you also go, this is not my problem. This is not my fight. Why am I getting involved?

But then also if you're like, if you don't tell her, then I'll tell her. That's like also like putting strain on your and his relationship. Yeah, but he's done that. He did that. He did that by cheating in the first place. But what if he's like, I'm not telling her? Then you go, oh, well, I'm going to tell her.

And then do you follow through? How did she find out? This is the thing because a lot of the times you just don't want to know. Even if you suspect something like that is going on, you just go, I don't want to know about it because then I have to deal with it. To be honest, I feel like I'm not that type of person. I feel like, which is maybe because I'm too nosy and get into people's business.

But I think it's if I'm really close with someone, then I do want to know because I want to be that person to be like, what are you doing? Like do the right thing. So how would you deal with that? I definitely would say to my best friend, this is messed up. Like this isn't the first time that this has happened. You need to grow up, make a decision and talk to her about it

and tell her what's going on and then move forward from there. Like you can't just keep doing this because it's good for the person. It's good for the best friend in the long run as well, like to have that tough conversation. You're right, there's mitigating circumstances. It's not the first time. And if it's an ongoing thing, it's not like they got drunk once and made a mistake

and they're like, please don't tell them, it'll never happen again. That's a whole different conversation. Yeah. This is like, you know they're doing it. It's an affair. Like it's a well thought out thing. It's so ill.

So would you dob them in? Or would you set little traps so that they got caught? Would you leak information to the innocent party? Send them one of those letters that's made out of magazine letters all cut up. This isn't a rom-com chick flu. No, no, I'm trying to think of ways that you could. And then he'll set

traps so then he falls into the trap and she figures it out and catches him red-handed. Wait till they're pashing and then wrap him up in a net. And put him in glad wrap. And then take some photos and send them, post them on an anonymous Instagram account. No, I like that idea, set a trap. I thought we could ask this afternoon just to kind of get people's take on it.

Has anyone actually had to do this before? Have they had to dob in a friend like for cheating? Yeah, did you find out your friend was cheating and how did you deal with that? What did you do? What route did you take? Is there a way you can deal with it and maintain the friendship? Yeah. Maybe did it. You know? What did you do? What route did you take? Is there a way you can deal with it and maintain the friendship? Yeah.

Maybe did it ruin the friendship? Like I keep going It's a horrible place to be in. It's so messy. But let's talk to some people. It will 100% have happened before. Yeah. People who have found out their mate was cheating and your moral compass goes, I've got to do something about this.

I've got to either, you know, talk to them about it, make them come clean. Yeah. Or I'm going to have to tell the other person. Or maybe you found out about it and you went, this is none of my business and you stayed out of it. And then eventually the other person found out that you knew and it really blew up in your face.

This is the problem I have. Would you be okay with your friend finding out that you've known the whole time? I know I wouldn't. Because you're complicit. Exactly. You're like, why've known the whole time? I know I wouldn't. Because you're complicit. Exactly. You're like, why didn't you tell me? I would have told you.

I'd feel worse than having to tell them that the cheating was happening. Okay, you found out your friend was cheating. How did you deal with it? What did you do about it? 0800 dial ZM. Or you can text us right now on 9696. You can remain anonymous. There's a messy situation that we're talking about.

There is a lot of people who have been through this situation, and it's not great. It's a situation of finding out one of your friends is cheating on their partner, and what do you do in that situation? You feel obligated to do something for the other person's sake. Like, yeah, especially. Your moral code says this isn't right.

You know, especially if you're friends with the partner as well. Maybe not as good of friends, but you've known them through, you know, your friend and then it just becomes messy. I don't think you'd do anything if you don't know the partner. Like, you just say to your friend, that's messed up, man. Don't do that. Yeah, but if you're friends with the partner, then it brings you into it a little more, doesn't it?

Let's talk to some people who have had to do just this. A lot of them want to remain anonymous, and that's okay. Just like you, Anonymous. Hi. Hi, Anonymous. Hi. How are you? Good, thanks.

How are you? Good, thanks. Have you been in this situation before where you found out one of your friends is cheating on their partner? I have. And what happened? How did you find out? So I found out through her and through a couple other people. Okay.

And what did you do in that situation? So I heard about one person, then there was a couple more, so I told him. It broke our friendship. It broke their relationship. Whoa. Did you give her the ultimatum first? Did you say, you tell him or I will?

After the first person, yep. And then it didn't happen. So they were five months out from getting married. So I told them. Oh, no, good for you, Anonymous. Wow. I feel like you've done the right thing. So they were a recidivist offender.

It wasn't one cheating thing. It was multiple people. Yeah, it was multiple, yep. Nah, I feel like, do you feel like you have no regrets about what you did? She was one of my best friends, so yeah, I definitely regret it, but I mean, I couldn't keep going on. Yeah, right. Like we've been saying, it's a tough position that they put you in. Thanks, Anonymous. Someone texted through, this is an interesting situation, they said, I have an amazing

relationship with my dad. He's my best friend, but I caught him cheating on his partner of five years. He would sign up to dating sites like annual memberships, and I found out because I was helping with his accounts. I had become close to my dad's partner, and I absolutely told her everything without hesitation. Wow. Screw finding out your dad's on the apps.

Because they're close with their dad's partner. Like five years is a long time. They've probably got like a relationship with that person now. Yeah. And so you think about that person as well, but then, oh, God, that's. I wonder if you've still got a relationship with the dad. I wonder if they're still your mate, you know? Hopefully.

Yeah. Hopefully. You'd hope so. Donna's here. Hi, Donna. Hi, Donna. Hey, how's it going? Hi.

What happened? Did you find out a friend of yours was cheating on their partner? Yeah, so my best mate's husband owned his own business, and he was actually cheating on one of his employees. Oh, no. And, yeah, and I sort of, she suspected, but she was one of those, oh, no, no, there's no way he'll be doing that. And then, yeah, a few people were talking about it.

I was like, oh, yeah. So I went and bought one of those, like, $19 phones from Countdown. Wait, you bought a burner phone? Pretty much, pretty much. Right, okay, and what did you do? I'm liking where this plan's going, Donna. Yeah. And then I text my mate on it and I was just like, oh, you know,

I think there's something going on between her husband and this other lady. And she was like, who is this? Like, I'm not going to tell you who this is. And I just played dumb the whole time because she was obviously talking to me about it. And I'm like, really? I'm like, that's so bad. Are you sure he'd do that? You know, yeah.

I mean, you know, if you don't really want to get involved, like if you buy a burner phone and you anonymously text. I've got a lot of questions. So she eventually found out that her partner was cheating, yes? Yep. Okay. And did you ever come clean to your friend that you were the person on the burner phone? No.

She doesn't know? She doesn't need to. No. No. No. And you're never going to tell her? And you're still friends with her now and you'll never tell her that you were the person? Yeah, I've been friends with her since we were like 10.

And she definitely doesn't listen to Zed-Ed. She doesn't know where there's not even. There's no one in the middle of nowhere. There's not even phone reception. Okay, well, perfect. We can talk all afternoon, Donna, then. I think there's phone reception if you're texting her off a burner phone. Oh, God, I'm worried for Donna's safety now. But thank you, Donna.

We appreciate it. Finally, one more anonymous call. Hello, anonymous. Hi, anonymous. Hello. What was the situation, anonymous? Who did you find out was cheating? A friend slash work colleague, I guess you would call them.

Not ideal. Where did it happen? How did you find out? So it happened on a work trip, and they found out because they told me about it. Okay. And so you felt obligated to tell their partner? Did you know their partner?

No, not really. I mean, have met a few times, but yeah, I don't really know them that well. And what did you do? I haven't said anything. Yeah, right. At all. So no one else knows. Oh, still wait.

To this day, you've never said something. Wait on the shoulders kind of situation. Wow. How long have you known for Anonymous? Probably about a month or so, like a month and a bit maybe. Okay. Yeah, I mean, it's not so long that, you know. I would be very cautious about getting involved in this one.

They're not your friends, you know? You know what you could do? Buy a burner phone in Texas. Yeah, right. Good luck with that, Anonymous. That's a horrible situation. Yeah. But they're untraceable and you just, you know,

once you've sent the text, you just throw it in the bin. Like you're some kind of secret agent. There you go. I hope that doesn't happen to you guys. It's a sticky situation. Bree and Clint. Hey. It's my birthday.

It's my birthday. Bree and Clint's Birthday Banger. All right, Birthday Banger time. Three people's birthdays. What was number one on their 16th? Let's talk to Renee first. Hi, Renee. Hi, Renee.

Hi. Hi, guys. How are you, Renee? I'm good, actually. I heard it's your birthday today. It is. Happy birthday. I hope I get good luck.

Yeah. What did you do for your birthday today? Well, went shopping, so that was awesome. Yeah, I love it. I literally had a shopping spree and going to get dinner now, so yay. Oh, you're not in Auckland, are you? No, no.

Well, Renee, I'm going out for dinner tonight. I will be dining at my house. Hey, but at least you can go through the drive-thru and don't have to cook it. It's true. There we go. It is true. Alright, Renee, let's do your birthday banger. What's your birthday? 22nd of September, 1990.

Yeah, that's the one I needed. You were 16 in 2006. So on this day in 2006, Renee's birthday, this was number one. How come every time you come around my London, London Bridge, won't I go down like London, London, London, London, London? Fergie, London Bridge. Is that a bit of you, Renee? Yeah, yeah, actually, that's a pretty good one.

I like it. What year did you say this was? 2006. Yeah. Oh, that's a bit confronting. Because of how old it is? Yeah. I mean, not how old Renee is, just how old the song is.

Are you calling Renee old? Are you calling Renee old on her birthday? On my birthday, Clint. And Renee's younger than me, so you're calling me old. You know what? I think I vote for Renee's song. Yeah, you better vote for Renee's song. I think we'll just call it off.

Wait there, Renee. Let's talk to Jackie. Hi, Jackie. G'day, Jackie. Hiya. Hi. How's your day been, Jackie? Good, thanks.

I feel like a bit of a dinosaur when I listen to how young Renee is, but all good. See, we're not calling her old. Well, Clint just called her old, so imagine what he'd call you, Jackie. Exactly. Not at all, Jackie. We love everyone here. What's your birthday, mate?

27th of February, 1979. All right, Jackie, you were 16 in 1995, and on the 27th of February, on your 16th birthday, this was number one. In my night, in my dreams, I'm in love with you Cos you talk to me like the magic Another night, the real McCoy, Jackie. It's a pearl one.

It's a goodie. You like it? It's a goodie. You like it? It's a goodie. See, Jackie, the older we get, the better our birthday bangers get. One benefit. Like a fine wine. Okay, wait there, Jackie. One more for Leonard.

Kia ora, Leonard. Hello, Leonard. Hello. How's your day been, Leonard? Not too bad. Just driving around Wellington. Nice. Nice. Love it. Let's do your birthday banger. What's your day been, Leonard? Not too bad, just driving around Wellington. Nice. Oh, nice.

Love it. Let's do your birthday banger. What's your birthday? 9th of April, 1992. Right, you were 16 in 2008. And on the 9th of April, your 16th birthday, this had a number one hit. Jordan Sparks, No Air.

Okay, I can't complain. That's a good one, yeah. I love Jordan Sparks. That's an emotional banger. Remember yesterday we were talking about emotional bangers? This is an emotional banger. Okay, wait there, Leonard. We've got some deliberating to do.

Renee has Fergie. Jackie has the real McCoy Leonard has Jordan Sparks What's it going to be? What are you thinking? I mean you kind of owe Renee For calling her old on her birthday And then you owe Jackie Because in turn you've called her even older

Because she's like older than Renee I feel like you are saying it more than I was You're the one rubbing the salt on No but it's okay Because I am also older than Renee. I feel like you are saying it more than I was. You're the one rubbing the salt in. No, but it's okay because I am also older than Renee so I'm allowed to. And Leonard's the youngest. I feel like I want to vote

for Renee because it's her birthday. Not because of what you said. I think I want to vote for her because it's her birthday. I really loved Renee. I loved everyone today but I feel like the song Another Night, The Real McCoy did it for me. Okay, we're going to a split vote. With my girl Jackie. Producer

I mean, super exciting for Aucklanders today. Finally level three where we can get takeaways. I took full advantage and I was like, I'm getting McDonald's breakfast. Oh, yeah. Because, I mean, I love McDonald's breakfast. I'm a big fan. And I thought, you know, first thing in the morning, I know it's open. Anyway, we got that for breakfast.

How long was the queue? Three cars. Oh, not bad at all. It was real good. What time did you go? It was like 8.30. Oh. It was pretty good.

Everyone's just been doing pandemonium. The bloody, all the TV breakfast shows had live reporters at all the drive-thrus around the country. KFC had it sorted. They don't open until a little bit later. So let all the real fiends get their facts nice and early and then come on later on. Yeah, it was pretty good. And something that was a nice surprise when it came was the Monopoly game is being played. Obviously not here in Auckland for the last five weeks,

but where you can rip off the little stickers and have you know a bit of fun if you're into that yeah and um so that's quite exciting and i saw an article out today which was talking about um mcdonald's monopoly over in the uk and one of the prizes that they're offering in their version of the game this time around yeah which they've never done before so one of the things you can win um in their version of the game this time around, which they've never done before. So one of the things you can win in their version over in the UK is a VIP gold card. Ooh. And I'll tell you what it means.

So there's only 1,000 that they're handing out within this competition of these cards. So there's not many. Ooh, I love the idea of a VIP card anyway. Yeah, it's good, eh? And I was like, oh, this is so chic because we've all heard of like the Nando's, you know, I think they'd call it, did they call it the Nando's black card?

I think that's what they called it. It was like a black card where if you had it, like Ed Sheeran had one and he just got free Nando's. Just walk in and get what you want. All the time. Yeah. Anyway, I was like, this is good. I wonder how much this entitles you to.

Yeah, okay. So I was getting excited. I looked into it. So you get it for a year, the VIP gold card. Yeah. It's for a year. And are you ready to be excited? Yeah, blow my mind.

Okay, you're a VIP. You're one of a thousand in the whole country. It entitles you to one free media meal every week. Okay. One meal every week. I'm not impressed. I don't think that's enough. It's something. No, no, no.

I've done the math. I've done the math. I've done the math. So I've went online and I've figured out McDonald's range is a little bit different. But I think it's about, let's say it's $12.40 for a Big Mac combo. Yep. So you times that by 52, it's $644. Yeah, right. You've got to remember that.

How many times a week do you want takeaways? Yeah, but it's not about that. Isn't it? It's not about that. Like if you're handing out a VIP gold card. Oh, you've hyped it up. You know, and there's only a thousand of them. Yeah.

I want to be getting a little bit more than one meal a week. My mate Chang had a VIP KFC card one time. Oh, yeah. And it was for KFC Ponsonby, and it was like a proper card that went in his wallet, a plastic card. They'd photoshopped, you know, the colonel's head, the little outline of the colonel's head.

They'd photoshopped it so it was Chang's head and everything. That's cool. He would never tell us what it entitled him to because he didn't want to share it with us. He showed us the card so he could ball out and be like, yeah, I am a VIP. There's not many of us. I am a VIP. I'm like many of us. I am a VIP. I'm like, what are you getting us?

Why was he a VIP? Because he went there so much. What? Really? Yeah, yeah, yeah. He had invested so much in that place. They were like, oh, you know what? How am I not a VIP then?

Brian Clint. A lady from the Bay of Plenty, her name is Bex. She has gone to the news because she purchased herself a birthday present. A very intimate birthday present. Something a little fun fun for the night time. A set of toys

for her birthday. And they arrived. What type of toys? A yo-yo? No, not a yo-yo. Yo-ho Diablo. Is that one of them? Could be. It's more, how do I say this?

We have a term on this show called indoor gardening, which refers to, you know, making the beast with two backs. These are gardening utensils that you can use with or without a partner. Couple of good hoes. Couple of good hoes, a couple of rakes and a trowel or three. They arrived used. What? She believes the adult fun toys that she purchased for herself for her birthday.

Why did, what? Were not new. She said they arrived unwrapped, scratched, and covered in fingerprints. That is disgraceful, if it's true. She has videoed it and sent it to the company who offered her, well, first of all, they said, can you give them a wipe? And she said, no, I can't give them a wipe. So they offered her a $40 voucher to the store.

How much were they worth? $700. She bought a luxury set of tools. Like I said, it's a box of about seven or eight things. And it looks very high end. How many tools did she buy? Was she filling up the toolbox? She was filling out the shed.

She was packing the shed, you know. 700 bucks worth. She said two of them were sort of tarnished and spotted as if some kind of liquid had been dropped on them. And the rest contained a myriad of micro-scratches.

Now regardless of how they got there, they are one of the items that you want to come, you know. You don't want those to come used. That's the last thing on the planet. There's a great second-hand market for everything in the country, except those things, right? Yeah, there's no second-hand market for those. Especially if you're spending $700.

Yeah, those things are expensive, and I can't believe they were like, give them a wipe. Give them a wipe. She said no. Okay, here's 40 bucks to try and make up for it. She was like, no. And now she's gone to the news.

Look, I'm not saying Bex is a liar, but we need to look at all of the possibilities here. Yeah. What if she spent $700, she's given them a whirl, and then thought, these aren't as good as what I thought. Maybe I can send them back and get something else. Yeah, right, get her money back.

I'm just trying to think of every other option that's not them coming used in her opening. I think they've seen her the floor model that's what I think it is oh and people have touched them in the store I think it's the box that's been opened in the store

and you have a fiddle you have a little I wouldn't have said fiddle you have a little you have a play I wouldn't say play you pick it up yeah you know

have a bit of a poke I think it's the ones I wouldn't have said poke I think it's the ones that are the counter model you know and then they've gone shit we've had an extra order

for these. Just box that one up and she won't see her. Look, still bad, but makes me feel a lot better. I don't want those ones. I don't want the one that 600 people have come in the store and had a fiddle with. You probably want the one that one person's had a burn on. Rather than every

man and his dogs touch. Anyway, stink birthday for Bex. and it's gone to the news now, so I would say that she is going to be flooded with offers of replacement gardening tools. Wouldn't have said flooded. Yeah, lots of bad word choices in this break, to be honest. Play ZM's Brand Clint. On Insta, Facebook, TikTok, and live weekdays from 3 on ZM.
