The ZM Podcast Network Hi everybody, welcome to the Brian Clint Podcast I'm a bit nervous It's Anastasia's turn to create a milk flavour And I know what's going on in this one because I've just had to film it Yeah right Look, I'm not going to say I'm excited to taste it, but I'm interested. Anastasia has a good poker face, actually.

No, she doesn't. She does not. That's horrible. Is it? What? Do you know what it is, Ben? Am I the only one who doesn't know? No, she just looks super duper suspicious.

So what do we know about Anastasia? I'll drink it first. Butcher's daughter. So there's a high chance he's meeting this. Loves expensive things. Oh, yeah, true. This could be a designer milkshake. Loves expensive things.

Loves exercising and fitness. She's a bit fitspo. And what else? Doesn't like a lot of cheeses. She doesn't have a very broad palate. She doesn't enjoy red wine or blue cheese. That's great cheese. It's pretty mild.

Yeah, it's pretty mild. Delicious though. Okay, should we just do it? Sniff test? No, sniff test first. We've got to try and guess the ingredients. Nothing? Are we getting nuts?

There's one thing in here that I hate. I know this is a nut milk because I saw her steal it from the barista station. God, can I just say, can I go on the record And say I fucking hate Nut milk

Never had it Almond milk Haven't had almond milk Nah Smells very nutty though I hate almond milk It's bad for the bees too Almond milk

I like I don't mind soy milk You should get into oat milk If you want a milk I hate oat milk It's so thick Oh you hate oat milk It's so thick

Makes me feel weird I'd rather have Mother weird. I'd rather have human milk. Why does the milk have a green tinge to it? You're going to have to drink it. What's green? Avocado. Oh, you did not. Avocado milk.

Why don't you just bloody drink it? Bottoms up, everybody. Cheers. I can't get past the nut oh god see what i mean nut milk is just not it's very nutty it's just a bit it's almond milk did you do anything to it did you just put almond milk in a blender we might may have put too much too much almond milk in yeah because well Well, it was too thick. It was avocado. Yeah, it was a whole avocado. So if you taste it, now wait for the aftertaste. Can you taste the avocado a little bit on your tongue?

No. I'm going to feel like a pitcher of health after this. My taste buds are a bit blocked, to be honest. Oh, sorry. Well, basically, it was based off this,

I think it was in Thailand or maybe Vietnam. We had it, it was ice cream with avocado on the top. Oh, yeah. It was an ice cream avocado sundae and it was in Thailand or maybe Vietnam. We had it. It was ice cream with avocado on the top. It was an ice cream avocado sundae, and it was so good. You never thought that the sweetness would go well with that. The almond milk tastes like an up and go.

Oh, yeah. Is that what it tastes like? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I get a lot of avocado right now, though. Look, I'm not a nut milk fan, but I reckon this avocado is fine. What about rice milk? Have you tasted rice milk? This tastes like rice milk to me.

Right. I don't reckon this avocado would go... Because I don't mind this. I mean, I'm not going to... It's all right. I'm never going to purchase it. Didn't have a lot of flavour. Yeah.

No, I think I put too much on with it. But I don't reckon it would be as good with regular milk. Yeah, I reckon. Yeah, I reckon. I put it in for the sweetness to try and replicate the one I'd had before. Oh, so nut milk's sweeter. What I was going for was the brief was something inventive that no one would ever try.

I'm sorry, that no one would ever put on the markets unless you tried it. So this is me trying. I never got the brief, but it's good to know that's what it was. No, that was the brief. Good to know the brief is laid on. So everybody, you need to... Well, now I know it, so that's good. Well, you haven't been yet.

Yeah, that's what I'm saying, yeah. And for you to to... Well, now I know. Well, you haven't been yet. Yeah, that's what I'm saying, yeah. And all to get to, for you to answer the brief, all you need to do is go and stand in a supermarket queue for three hours and get the ingredients that you need. Nah, the other bit of the brief was you have to use shit from your pantry. That's what I thought. I just got whatever I could use from my pantry.

Yeah, this avocado is two weeks old. Nah, I'm kidding. Nah, it looked pretty fresh to me. It was a fresh avocado. It looked fresh. And to be honest, how much was it? Oh, they're cheap at the moment. Yeah, it was pretty fresh to me. It was a fresh avocado. It looked fresh. And to be honest, how much was it? Oh, they're cheap at the moment. Yeah, it was a dollar, so.

Bank it in your mind how you think it is. Look. Cool, got it. It's drinkable. I haven't been impressed yet. Best points on the board. That's points straight away. Unfortunately, and it pains me to admit this,

I think it's probably more drinkable than my peanut butter milk. Yours like, it wasn't drinkable, you had to eat it. It was that thick. I know. You have really good memories. But also, this is the only one that doesn't have a big layer of that yucky foam on the top. Alright, we already rated you okay. Alright, what are you trying to

do here? Get more praise. You put a fucking avocado in almond milk. I can't wait for Ben's sausage milk. He's going to blow you out of the water with that sausage milk. No, that's so... Sausage milk means something else. Yeah. How do you milk a sausage, Ben?

You'll find out tomorrow. Well, you'll see the after. You know I milk sausages all the time. Oh, I came in... Have you ever milked... I milked a sausage at your house. You did. You milked a sausage at my house.

Because you know what milking a sausage is? What? Where you literally milk the sausage out of the casing. That's what we do to make that sausage pasta I make. Really? You have to milk the sausage. Do they call it milking? No, I call it that.

Oh, I was going to say. It's exactly what it's like milking a cow. Don't do that. Like you literally. Don't do that. You know what else it's exactly like? No, what? Tell me.

Getting a, if you leave a sock, if you put, oh, fuck. Dolphin time. Hey, Google, what's the time? It's 3 p.m., give or take a minute. Alexa, play ZM on iHeartRadio. Playing ZM on iHeartRadio. Playing ZM on iHeartRadio. Hey Siri, when are Brie and Clint on? Brie and Clint are on air in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

Kia ora everybody, welcome to the show, it's Brie and Clint. G'day guys, happy Monday, hopefully everyone's weekend was good. Yeah. A lot of people I talk to had a lot of drinks. A lot of Zoom beers. Yeah. A lot of people I talk to had a lot of drinks. A lot of Zoom beers. Yeah. It's funny how quickly we go straight back into Zoom beers. Like this is the first weekend of lockdown.

It wasn't like we've been in lockdown for months. We need to reconnect with people. I'm drinking this weekend. Yeah. It was like three days. I had a Zoom party with like four of my mates on Saturday night. And it got to 11 o'clock and I was like, man, we're still going. This pandemic, this lockdown's only been going for four days.

And one of my mates was in Sydney. He'd been locked down for, how long have they been locked down? Yeah, they've been locked down for a long time. And then we heard the news last week they're being locked down for a further six weeks. Yeah, well, he was sitting there with his homemade haircut going, you guys are soft. You have no idea what a lockdown is like. Mate, we did six weeks last year. We did.

And at least three of them were at level four. Not to play it down though, we've got 107 cases in New Zealand now. We've cracked the tonne, as they say in cricket. After only five balls? Days? I don't know where the cricket reference... That was a terrible analogy.

Yeah, right. Either way, 107, 35 new ones today. Two of them in Wellington, 33 in Auckland. Good old Auckland, eh? Always overachieving. Yeah, always. Always number one. We will find out today what the lockdown looks like going forward.

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern live out of Parliament just after 4 o'clock. We'll take it live on the show today. Speaking of that announcement, we need to talk about this right up front. The leg spreader? Spreading your legs over the weekend. Hopefully everyone got out and spread their legs. I know I did.

Well, I didn't want to until I heard the message from Chris Hipkins. Just in case you miss it, this is an important health message. Look, it is a challenge in higher density areas for people to get outside and to spread their legs when they are... Oh, poor bastard, eh? Poor guy. It was a slip of the tongue, so to speak. Oh, careful.

It was a slip of the knee, so to speak. Well, careful. It was a slip of the knee. Well, a slip of the tongue and a spread of the legs. Not, doesn't make for a good lockdown. Or does it? I think it does. I think it makes for a very good lockdown. Hard to do with a mask on, though. Yeah, very difficult.

We're going to do tradie versus lady next if you want to play 0800DIALZM. I just thought I'd, there's a text on the text machine where someone said, do you have to be an actual tradie to play tradie versus lady? No. No. It is open to everyone. It just was a name for the game that rhymed. Yeah.

That's it. Your trade can be working at KFC. You can be a stay-at-home mum and that's your trade. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Anyone is allowed to play just as long as you try your best. That's it. But if you are a tradie who's out of work, you're welcome too. There's 50 bucks cash up for grabs thanks to KFC.

And we'll play tradie versus lady after Olivia Rodrigo on ZM. Bree and Clint. Bree and Clint. Just before we do tradie versus lady and obviously no spoilers, did Love Island finish on the weekend? No. Oh, it's still going. did Love Island finish on the weekend? No. Oh, it's still going? It hasn't finished yet.

Okay, good. And tonight it won't be on because it's usually the best bits night. So I think it's tomorrow night. The finale? No, actually. Yeah. The parents come in tomorrow night, I think, and then the finale. And then the finale.

Phew. I have got time to catch up then because I haven't started. You'll just have to start watching now. Yeah, yeah, yeah. There's like 50-something episodes. 50? 50, yeah. Okay, cool.

So in each episode's like 40-something minutes. Okay, cool. I need to go. You go. I'll stay here. Bree and Clint's Trading vs. Lady. This is the game where you can win 50 bucks cash thanks to KFC and you're playing as either a tradie or a lady.

The score for the year, 68 games to the triumphant ladies, 66 games to the resurgent tradies. It's very, very close and we'll see what happens after today's game. Who's our lady? Our lady today is 48. She's from Ototahi Christchurch and she lived in Australia in the outback for seven years like a kangaroo. Welcome

to the show, Sarah. G'day Sarah. Whereabouts? Hello. Whereabouts in Oz? Way out back a small town called Winton. That's so far. I know that town.

You don't. I do because I'm from rural Australia. Oh, okay. Winton's the big smoke for Bree. That's where she used to go to get her shoes. I was actually quite a bit bigger than where I'm from. It's a metropolitan centre as far as she's concerned. How many people lived in Winton?

Back then there was about 1,500, but yeah, it shrunk since then. Right. Oh, Winton's not on the up. Okay, you're taking on our trainee today. He's also from Ototahi Christchurch, and he's locked down in a flat full of four boys. That place smells great. Welcome to the show, Jack.

G'day, Jack. G'day. Is everyone doing their washing up during lockdown or what? Oh, no, it's a bit smelly down here, eh? How many of you guys have got pants on right now? Oh, we're currently all sitting here with none on. Yeah, nice. Oh, yeah, love it. I'd expect nothing less.

I bet it was a big weekend in the flat. Audio. Jack, your buzzer is tradie. Sarah, your buzzer is lady. First to three correct answers gets 50 bucks. Thanks to KFC. Good luck, everybody. Here we go.

All right, question number one. Apparently, after five years after the launch of Pokemon Go, it's still going strong, although lockdown obviously put a hold on that at the moment. What's Ash's name? What's Ash's last name in Pokemon? Ash from Pokemon. He's the guy with the Pikachu. He's got to catch them all.

He's got to kitch them all. Brady. Yeah, Jack. Is it kitch them? That's fast on the keys, Jack. Nice work. Question number two. What mythical creature changes shape under a full moon?

Welcome to Quarantine Cluedo, where we play detective and try and guess where in the house you are quarantined right now. Where are you spending your lockdown? What's our strike rate, do you reckon, as a percentage?

Not good. Five? Not even. Not even five? Wait, five out of 100? Yeah, that's what a percentage is. Well, you didn't say out of what? I said, what do you think our strike...

Oh, okay. Could have been out of 10. And I would have been like, we're not that good. Yeah, that's what a percentage is. What? You didn't say out of what? I said, what do you think our... Oh, okay. Could have been out of 10. And I would have been like, we're not that good. Yeah, true. Yeah. Out of 300. Five. Yeah, probably five.

Okay. Let's see if we can improve that today with Tony. Hello, Tony. G'day, Tony. Hey, Clint. Hey, Brie. How are you guys? Not too bad.

We've been waiting for you to call, actually. We're pretty sure we know where you are. Yeah. Okay. I doubt that you know, guys. I feel like... Oh, he's pretty confident, isn't he? Does he get a special name?

Yeah. I'm going to come up with it right now. Tony, Professor Tony Testicle Tuesday. There he is, on a Monday even. Professor Tony Testicle Tuesday on a Monday. Can I ask you one question about the location you're in right now? Yeah, sure. What's your question?

Would you be happy with a first date seeing this room before you had the chance to clean it? No. Okay. Tells me a lot. Right. Would you say, Tony, that this is somewhere that gets a lot of water in and around the room? Possibly, yes.

I would say so. Yeah, okay, cool. I know where he is. I feel like that sold it. Because I was going to say garage until the water thing, and now I think toilet. I think toilet too. Yeah, we're locking it in.

Professor Tony Testicle Tuesday on a Monday. Are you currently in the toilet? No, I'm in the bathroom. Oh, you're so close. No, have you? So close. And your strike is only 1%

by the way. Yeah, right. Okay, well, damn, dang it. Hey, don't get testy with us. Let's go to our next participant, Bree. Hello, Bree. Hello, Bree.

Bree should have a good name for you, seeing as it's her name. Mrs. Bree Bootleg. Man, that was the worst one yet. Mrs. Bree Bootleg, can I ask you a question about the location you're in currently? Yes, again. Would it be healthy and sanitary to prepare a meal in this room? I'm not asking if you do prepare meals in the room. I'm asking, should you, would it be okay?

Yes. Yes, okay. So she said yes. So you could make a meal in there You could make And it would be sanitary Oh, that narrows it down, doesn't it? Mm-hmm

Alright, Bree Does this room have a heat pump? No Should it? Oh, yes, it could actually, yes Okay, she's in the lounge She's in the lounge She's in the lounge or the bedroom?

Hi. Or should we call you Colonel Crop Dust? Colonel Crop Dust, can I ask you a question about the room you're currently in? And might we add that the car in the line for a COVID-19 test... Is available. Is available. Can I ask, does the room have air conditioning?

No. Okay. I mean, she could be in an old car though. And I'll just clarify, air conditioning includes heat pumps and also heaters in the car. The AC button doesn't work. Yeah. No, nothing like that.

Nothing like that. Okay, good. Doesn't have heating. Hayley, is the flooring tiled? No, it's not. We've talked about this. You meant to ask what is the flooring? I didn't know I could.

Okay, it's no heating, no tiles, so it's carpet, wood, concrete. She could be anywhere. This is a stab in the dark. We've had no bedrooms yet. Bedroom? Let's go bedroom. No one has tiles in the bedroom. Because the kitchen probably would be tiles.

Hayley, are you in the bedroom right now? I'm in the nursery, so it is a bedroom. Yes! Yes, this is our best round ever! We're up to 3%. Thank you, Colonel Crop Dust. We appreciate you. You pushed us over the top. Have a great rest Yes! Yes, this is our best round ever! We've gone up to 3%. Thank you, Colonel Cropdust. We appreciate you. You pushed us over the top.

Have a great rest of your lockdown, okay? Thanks, you too. Stay safe cropdusting, all right? Wear a mask. Wear a mask. Front and back. And everyone else, wear a mask around it.

The list of locations of interest continues to grow. It's over 300 places at the moment. It's becoming quite a hard list to keep up with. Yeah. But you need to keep up with it. There is a lot of places on the list. Has Peaches and Cream ever entered the list?

Not yet, but it's important to keep checking the list. Why are you even frequenting a Peaches and Cream? No, not me. I'm just asking for people. It's getting to the point where, especially if you live in Auckland, you know someone who knows someone who went to a location of interest. And here at ZM, as part of our wider company, some of our staff members have.

Please welcome to the show, member of Super Serious News radio station and former ZM announcer himself, Marcus Lush. Hi, Marcus. G'day, Lush. Greetings. Yeah, g'day, g'day, g'day, g'day. G'day, g'day, g'day. Welcome back to ZM, himself, Marcus Lush. Hi, Marcus. G'day, Lush. Greetings. Yeah, g'day, g'day, g'day, g'day. G'day, g'day, g'day, g'day. Welcome back to ZM, first of all.

Oh, thank you. Thanks very much. It's been a while. Yeah, right. Marcus, of course, you know this, does the night show on Newstalk ZB, and you live in Southland, and yet you are part of what is being called the Denny's Cluster. Yeah, which I've got cluster shame.

Some people are proud I've been eating at Denny's, and some people are ashamed that I'm eating at Denny's cluster. Yeah, which I've got cluster shame. Some people are proud I've been eating at Denny's and some people are ashamed that I'm eating at Denny's. And of course, in the South, I've got to explain to people what Denny's is. Well, where do you start that discussion? Well, how do you feel? Are you proud or what's your thoughts on it? Oh, to walk with kings and keep the common touch.

I mean, it had changed a lot since I was last there because you used to get a BLT and it was like, I swear, about 20 different triangles, like it was just this whole thing of triangular sandwiches with those toothpicks and with a bit of cellophane at the top. It was like, wow. 30 years later, a BLT is just two bits of bread toasted, cut diagonally with chips.

So $11.90. Now, was that... $1.19 AM. Was that $11.90 worth of sandwich worth being put into self-quarantine for how long? Like 14 days? Well, bearing in mind, you know, if you finish work at midnight and you wander around that part of Auckland now that they've got the railway where it's all fenced off and the 501's wandering.

So I walked for a long, long time, obviously an hour and 19 minutes, before I decided where to get a snack. Before settling on dinners. Yeah. And I thought, well, I bet you it's either closed or there's no one there. And I went up there. It doesn't close. And they said, please take a seat in the waiting area. That's what they did to me the last time.

What? That's what I – look, Lushy, I'm not going to lie. I ended up there a few months ago after a big radio night's out. Yeah. I'm not joking. We were there at 3 in the morning, and we sat in the waiting room for about 20 minutes because they were like, we need to get your table ready.

It's not property. Every table is ready. There's no one here. And bearing in mind it's Denny's, so there's some parents that have dragged their three-year-old out for a birthday to get the free meal. Well, that's what I was going to ask. Were you at Denny's? Was it your birthday on that day?

Is that why you were at Denny's? No, but yeah, it amazes me. There's always families having their toddler's birthday at three in the morning. I mean, that's just fantastic parenting, isn't it? You're not even waking until the next morning. Out we go. You talk about cluster shaming. You are the only person I know who has visited the same location of interest twice in 24 hours.

Is that correct? That's right. So I went there, right? And it said one, and it was really sketchy with the times because it said Friday morning. I've actually subsequently realised they meant Saturday morning, but they got the thing wrong. I checked them. And then they said, oh, it's a good thing you weren't there the next day. And I said, well, actually I was.

He double dipped. Was the BLT that good? Was it that good that you had to go back? You see, there's nothing else there, you know. So it's like, well, where else? There was no food in the casino. When you wander around, that 50 burger place is gone. Did you go to the casino as well?

Looking for food. And that's the place. Because you normally go to that Turkish place that's on the walk path. Yeah, you're close to being patient X, you know that, with the places... Looking for food. And that's the place of... Because you normally go to that Turkish place that's on the walk path. Yeah, you're close to being patient X, you know that, with the places that you've been. It's like you were seeking it out. I'm a super spreader.

And there's people. And of course, with Denny's, you're going up the stairs and it's quite clustery at the stairs. You can imagine the bridal party coming down at the end of the night, the people going up there. I just love that you doubled down on Denny's.

That's my favourite. It's a wonderful establishment that comes through. And the menu looks really spready as well. You've got four, like, it's like that menu from Schitt's Creek. You've got those four laminated plastic, and you're touching that. You're thinking, all the other people have touched that. No, no, no, that's because it could be disinfected. That's actually a good thing, okay?

Oh, okay, but anyway. But Denny's, I notice that Denny's haven't done anything Social media is saying, oh well, this is us There's nothing from them They have talked about their special That they've got running though at the moment Well, I wouldn't go past it, I didn't actually know what else To order, because it's been so long since I've been there And everyone says you should have the Oreo shake

It's the Denny's Cluster BLT Special And you get fries with it And sauce, The sauce looked quite spready because you're touching. I was worried about the staff as well because they were pleasant, but the sauce looked really spready. The only man who came all the way from Southland

and visited a location of interest twice within 24 hours at the Great Denny's. That's Marcus Lush. Good luck. How long are you staying at home for, Marcus? Oh, no, because it's time shifted. I'm free. Oh, you're because it's time shifted. I'm free. Oh, you're free. Oh, congratulations.

I'm back at work tonight to discuss COVID. Joy, oh, joy. We'll let you know. We'll let Denny's know that you're coming back up for your time. The time's a charm. Bree and Clint. Bree and Clint. Home of the latest. From iHeartRadio, this is the latest live from LA with Dean McCarthy. Dean, tell us about Angelina Jolie's debut on Instagram,

breaking all kinds of records. Oh, it certainly did. She's been on Instagram for what? Is it a day or two days now? She's already reached 7.5 million followers. She's done two posts. But what is so cool about this, the reason Angelina Jolie came on social media,

she's never been on social media, not Facebook, nothing, not Twitter. She made her first post a letter from an Afghan girl. So she used her first post and she wants to use her social media to share the stories of women and children in Afghanistan because Angelina Jolie is just that kind of brilliant person. Like, I can't even, I don't even have the words to talk about how incredible she is that she would come on social media. She knew this would get so much attention.

She knew that her posts would be liked by millions of people around the world, and she used this for good. It's very impressive. And 7.5 million followers in that space of time. Crazy. Brie was telling me the record that she broke was Jennifer Aniston's, though. Which is a bit awkward. It's a little bit awkward.

It's like, Ange, can you please stop taking things away from Jennifer Aniston? Please. A little bit awkward because obviously they've been in that battle. But awesome to see that she's using her platform to spread the word of something that's so good. Yeah, yeah, yeah. She wins again. We get it, okay? We get it.

You're Team Ange. That is the latest. I'm not. I'm Team Jennifer. The latest out of Los Angeles with our Hollywood correspondent, Dean McCarthy, thanks to Pepsi Max. It's fueling the latest with max taste and zero sugars given. Bree and Clint. I want to talk about this cool thing that someone has had way too much time,

but they've created essentially a fake Netflix platform. Right, okay. ZM, Bree and Clint. Oh, no, that's not it. So I was trying to get the Netflix sound effects. Okay, hold on. There it is. There it is.

The platform is called Nestflix. Right. Which is quite funny. And it was created essentially to house all of the fake movies or TV shows within movies or TV shows. Buzzy. Do you know what I'm talking about? Kind of.

Like, you know when you're watching a movie and if there's like a fake show where they, you know who does it a lot? Who? Jump Street, 21 Jump Street. Okay. They did it quite a lot in those movies. So they create movies within the movie. The only example I can think of is like TV shows,

like how Joey Tribbiani was in. Yes, Mac and Cheese. Yeah, right. Yeah. If you play clip number two, I believe we've got a clip of it. Right, okay. Oh, uh... Yep, here it is now. Well, if we learn one thing

today, Cheese, it's that cheerleaders and high explosives don't mix. Mac and Mac. Well, I couldn't have done it without you, buddy. Got it. Okay, now I understand what it is. Right. I don't think you can watch them all buddy. Got it. Okay, now I understand what it is. Right. I don't think you can watch them all, but they've created just like a website. A reference point. Yeah, it's quite funny actually.

What else is on there? We're going to play a game and you have to pick the movie that's associated with the fake movie or TV show. So if you want to play clip number one. It's me, Snakes. I got the stuff. Leave it on that doorstep

and get the hell out of here. Alright, Johnny. But what about my money? I've got absolutely no idea. You don't know? That's the easiest one. So this is a fake movie. Fake movie that was shown and I'll give it to you. It's in a movie, not a TV show. Okay, no, I've got nothing. Oh, you're gonna kick yourself.

Yeah. Ready? Home Alone. Oh! And keep the change, you filthy yourself. Yeah. Ready? Home Alone. Oh! And keep the change, you filthy animal. Yeah, right. Okay, cool. You know where he uses it?

Yeah, yeah. The pizza guy drops off the pizza. Oh, this is some through the looking. This is like... So that, yeah, that movie's called Angels with Filthy Souls. If you want to play clip number three. Sarah Marshall in Blind Medicine. That's not how we were trained. I'm over here.

Yeah, of course. That's Sarah Marshall from Forgetting Sarah Marshall. It's so good. Because Sarah Marshall, his girlfriend, she's a famous actress. And she's in this show called Blind Medicine where all the surgeons are blind. So good. Let's do one more.

What movie is this fake show from? Well, Miss Normis, shall we shag now or shag later? Oh, Austin, behave. That's Tom Cruise doing basically a parody of Austin Powers who is doing a parody of James Bond within Austin Powers. What was the fake show called that Tom Cruise was in? I've got no idea. Austin Puss-out.

Something that has consumed my life over the last, well, five days of lockdown is Questify, New Zealand's greatest chocolate bar. Didn't know it was something I was this passionate about, but turns out it's one of my major passions. Yeah, people are passionate about their chocolate. Yeah, and as a nation, they've been coming out in their droves to vote for the best chocolate bar.

We're down to the semifinals tonight, and I wanted to bounce off you and just go, do you agree with this? Where's your head at? Can we perhaps predict the winner of what I'm calling the great Choccy Off of 2021? I have been following. I have been voting every round. And where are we at?

What's the last like semifinals? What are the battles going head to head? I'll give you the semis. They're pretty much decided. They close at seven o'clock. There's still room to vote on these ones. But Kit Kat Chunky versus regular Kit Kat is one of the semifinalists.

Kit Kat Chunky all the way. I one of the semi-finalists. Kit Kat Chunky, all the way. I so agree. I so agree. Kit Kat Chunky is like the new and improved, better version of Kit Kat. I didn't give Kit Kat enough credit to know that it would have two of the top four spots though. Did you ever think that... I do love

Kit Kat, especially Chunky. At the moment, 63% of people are voting Chunky, so Chunky will 63% of people are voting Chunky so Chunky will be one of the people. Short of something devastating happening. We'll be going through to the final. The other one's more interesting. It's Flake vs Morrow. Now Flake first of all. Nah I'm not happy

about this. Flake has had the most dominant run in the competition. It took down Snickers. It took down Mars. It just has been an absolute giant killer and I don't understand how. You know what I don't understand? Twirl is one of my favourite chocolate

bars, right? Yes. Flake, literally, so Flake and Twirl, a twirl is a flake if a flake had its shit together. That's what it is. Yeah. So how has Flake gotten through? And Flake caught on to that. That's why they invented luxury Flake.

What's luxury Flake? It's just a Flake covered in chocolate. That's a twirl. That's a twirl. That's a damn twirl. So anyway, Flake versus Morrow. Who do you think is winning in that battle? It should be Flake, but I know it's that crappy chocolate bar Morrow.

Oh, you wash your mouth out. Yeah, if I eat a Morrow, I will. Morrow's having a dominant performance. Morrow is up 55% to 45%. A Morrow, like if you get a favourite, a box of favourites, Morrow is one of the ones that no one eats. Well, this poll would suggest otherwise. I don't get it.

I don't get it. So short of any major changes, and it could still be majorly changed. If you feel passionately about this, you can still vote. The final this evening going live at 7 o'clock will be Morrow vs Kit Kat Chunky. Come on, Kit Kat Chunky. Come on!

Do it for the Chunky Dunkeys! I think it's going to be extremely tight. Do you think it'll be close or who do you think is going to win? Um, oh I think it's too close to call and I don't think it'll be close or who do you think is going to win? I think it's too close to call and I don't think I can predict it because I didn't know that Flake was going to make it this far through. The whole way through I was like, oh yeah, Flake will get it. Let's be real, Flake's gone. I think it's going to be Morrow.

If Morrow wins. I think blind patriotism is going to come from behind and push Morrow over the finish line. Maybe it's a growing up in New Zealand thing. Yeah, I think that's got a big part to do with it. We just never had, I feel like a Morrow tastes kind of like an old Mars bar. Yeah, right. Mars didn't even make it out of the first round.

I know, I can't believe that. Who did it go up against, though? You put it against a hard one. Flake, I think. I think it was Flake. I think it was Flake. Yeah, right. Well, this news, by the way, has gone all the way to the top

and will be reported on on the project tonight at 7pm. Hard news. Hitting the hard stories first. I'll be live on the project reporting on the results of the Chocky Off this evening. Wait, why would they have you on tonight if the final's tonight? Shouldn't it be on tomorrow when you have a result? Well, hopefully I can get on two nights in a row. That'd be good.

Trends on. I'm part of the cluster now. It's a trend. What? There you go. Here's your morale boosting request, New Zealand. Brie and Clint. Time for a game.

From their head to their toes, too high or too low, they're short and they're stout, they're up and they're down. It's the fight of the height. Here's a question. How tall is Danny DeVito? Ooh. Five foot nothing. Five foot nothing. Yeah, five zero. Five foot nothing. Five foot nothing.

Yeah, five zero. Five zero? Yeah. Danny DeVito is four foot ten. He's under five foot. He's shorter than the Veronica twins. Stacked on top of each other. Well, they're four foot eleven.

We're going to play on your behalf. Amy's here. Hi, Amy. G'day, Amy. Hi. If Bree wins the game, you get 50 KFC chicken dollars, okay? Awesome. Thank you. No worries.

Emma's here as well. Hi, Emma. G'day, Emma. Hi. If I win the game, you get 50 KFC chicken dollars. Awesome. Sounds good. Okay, that's all you guys need to do. Producer Anastasia's here. Anastasia, what's the theme this week? This week's theme are celebrities that have had COVID. Oh, interesting.

Morbid, I like it. But also quite interesting to see what celebs have had COVID. And whether it made them shorter or not. Yeah. I heard the vaccine makes your boobs bigger. Let's play Who's the First Contestant? That is such a myth. Celebrity number one, this definitely didn't happen to him.

It's Tom Hanks. Oh, he was the first person in the world to get COVID-19. I've done this list periodically. Okay. Oh, Tom Hanks. How tall is he? I feel like he's the All-American, so I'm going to put down six foot for Tom Hanks. I'm going shorter.

Three's gone five nine. Clint, you're spot on with six foot. Oh, is he six foot? Yeah. I love Tom Hanks. Don't we all? Celebrity number two is pink. Oh, have you met her?

No, never met her. No, neither. Not in person. Been to her concerts, but I mean. You can't tell. You can't tell. When someone's up on a trapeze wire, it's very hard to tell. Very hard to tell.

How tall they are, but I'm going to lock in a respectable five. Oh, I'm going to go. There we go.8 for pink. I reckon she's a bit shorter. Clint has gone 5'8. Brie has gone 5'6. The correct height's 5'4. Yes!

That's quite short, but I didn't think she'd be that short. It must be good for all the trapeze work to be a little bit shorter. They need less people to pull her up there. Yeah, that's true. Yeah. Let's go to celebrity number three, Idris Elba. Oh, yeah. They need less people to pull her up there. Yeah, that's true. Yeah. Let's go to celebrity number three, Idris Elba. Oh, God. I love me. Don't write how tall you want him to be.

Write how tall you think he is. No, you always put him down and you say he's not as hot as what you think he is. No, no, no, no, no, no. He is as hot as what you think he is. If you stick to your guns, you're going to get the Sprat. I've never said Idris Elba is not hot. That is slander. Wait, who used to say that?

No, I said he's too old to be James Bond. That's what you said. And I was like, as if. Brie has gone 6-3. And Clint has gone 6-1. Oh, we're at a dead tie. He's 6-2. But I like him more, so I should get the point.

Okay, good. Okay, cool. No, not the way it works. Point each. All right. So now we are sitting at two all. The last celebrity. Tie break.

Tie break. Doja Cat. Oh, come on, Anastasia. I've never even. Just because you follow them on Instagram doesn't mean we have any idea how tall they are, okay? Next minute, Charli D'Amelio will be entering this game. Okay. Anastasia's like,

the third guy to enter Heartbreak Island Season 1. Hey, hey, hey, hey. Anastasia's like, Ninja. That game of... PewDiePie. There's something for everyone in this game. All right, Gen Z, I've put in my height, okay? Clint's gone for 5'4".

So we're stoked to give you some KFC. Congratulations. Nice working. Thank you. Bree and Clint. Interesting article I read about the UK and what are their favourite swear words. Oh, yeah. So there's a competition every year where they get people to vote and they do research

about what is the most popular swear word for that year. Can I guess what one of them is? Yeah, go on. Fanny. No. Well, I don't know because that's not in the top two. Yeah, right. It's not in the top ten.

Wait, is Fanny bigger with people in the UK or the US? I think the US. Yeah, right. The big fanny is. Remember? Like, it was on the nanny. Kicked her out on her fanny. Kicked her out on her fanny.

Yeah, because fanny means you bum over there. Yeah. Yeah. And I'd always be like, as a kid, I'd always be like, what do they mean? She got kicked out on her fanny. Kicked her out on her fanny. Yeah, because fanny means you bum over there. Yeah. And I'd always be like, as a kid, I'd always be like, what do they mean she got kicked out on her vahine? How'd she land on that? I was like, that's a hard landing. That's actually good to check.

You in Australia, the front is the fanny, right? No. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Same as you guys. Yeah, same as you guys. You know what I learned the other day as well, though? What do you call, you know when you're, it's real gross, I'm not going to do it, but as you guys. You know what I learned the other day as well, though? What do you call, you know, when you're, it's real gross, I'm not going to do it, but when you like.

Oh, yeah, yeah. Loogie. Oh, you call it the American word? Yeah. Oh, weird. What do you guys call it? We call it, in Australia, we call that a. A snotty wetback.

We call it a golly. Oh, I flicked the microphone. Yeah, that's how it makes people feel when you do it. Yeah, golly. Oh, I licked the microphone. Yeah. That's how it makes people feel when you do it. Yeah, golly. That's a gross, very descriptive word. So is lurgy, but I'm used to it. Golly.

I feel like golly describes it perfectly. It comes from there. Like that. Like perfect description. I think I'm a close contact now after licking this microphone. You should probably do a golly right now after that actually. I think that's probably a good idea. Distract me.

Talk about these UK swear words. Yeah, so quite interesting. Apparently the top word that's been the UK's favourite swear word for the past couple of years got knocked off its number one perch. So what do you think used to be? The number one swear word? Yeah, in the UK. That got knocked off the top.

Is it the C word? No, not the C word. Is it one swear word? Yeah, in the UK. That got knocked off the top. Is it the C word? No, not the C word. Is it the F word? No. Is it the B word? No. Not the B word? It is a B word, but not that B word. Is it bust? No, it's bloody. Is it? Yeah. That was the UK's number one swear word. So it reigned supreme.

Bloody hell. Oh yeah, I get that. Bloody L. Bloody L. That makes sense, hey. But it slipped into second place. Because they got

a new favourite. Because they got a new favourite. Coming in at number three, if people are interested, is the S word,

S-H-I-T. Yeah, right. People love that word in the UK, but coming in at number one, UK's favourite

swear word for the year is the F-bomb. Oh, right. It's gone straight to the top. Yeah, just a good old classic F-bomb. A good old f*** up. Yeah. Do you want to use all three of the words in a sentence

and I'll run the beep for you? You go first. No. Okay. Come on. All right, all right, all right. Oh, f*** of... Hang on. I've got to get them on different buttons. Oh, f***. I've... Hang on.

I've got to get them on different buttons. Oh, f***. I've bl***. S*** myself. There you go. That was pretty good. You got to beat that. You didn't even say the word.

Well, I can't say the word. You should give it a go. See if the beep overrides you saying it. No, I'm not going to say it. No, no, no. That's not the idea of the beep. Try it on the F-bomb. No, if that's what you're going to do,

then I would cancel it. Cancel it. I wonder what New Zealand's favourite word is. Yeah, that's a good question. We'd love to hear your opinion on the text machine 9696. What's your favourite swear word? You don't have to censor yourself on the text machine. No, just go nuts.

Bree and Clint. Ah. Hey. It's my birthday. It's my nuts. Bree and Clint. Ah. Aye. It's my birthday. It's my birthday. Bree and Clint's Birthday Banger. All right, time for a birthday banger. We'll take your guys' birthdays and figure out what was number one on each of these people's 16th.

Danika's here. Kia ora, Danika. Hi, Danika. G'day. How's your lockdown going? Oh, not too bad. What's been the activity that's taken up most of your time? Probably Netflix.

Yeah, nice. Yeah, nice. Nice, nice, nice. Okay. Let's do a birthday bang before you find out what's number one on your 16th birthday. What's your birthday? The 20th of December, 95. All right.

Danika, you were 16 in 2011, and on the 20th of December in 2011, this was top of the charts. I've never got sick of this song. Such an amazing song. Yeah. It's huge. Such a mood lifter. Danika, do you like this? Yeah, I do.

Yeah, it's a great birthday banger. It's got one of the best drops in it too. Yeah. It builds and it builds and it builds and it builds and it builds. There you go. Bum, bum, bum. It's so good. Iris is here.

Kia ora, Iris. Kia ora, Iris. Hey, guys. Hey. How are you? Hi, I'm good. How are you guys? Not too bad.

How's your lockdown going? Oh, you know, lockdown. It's lockdown. Getting there? Yeah. What's the. Getting there? Yeah. What's the activity that's consumed most of your time? Oh, I'd have to say doing the dishes. Nah, just kidding.

Helping out, I suppose. Yeah, fair enough, Iris. Doing the dishes. Okay, what's your birthday, Iris? The 24th, July 2002. All right, mate, You were 16 in 2018 and on the 24th of July 2018, this was number one.

You're joking. Oh, no way. It's Iris by the Goo Goo Dolls for Iris. And your name's Iris. Who would have picked it? That is a winner.

What are the chances? That's got to win, Iris. That could be done for Mind Blown Monday. The crazy bit is you weren't even born when this song came out, and yet the number one song on your 16th birthday is the Goo Goo Dolls and Iris. And that's why it's such a big coincidence. Wow. That's crazy.

I think that's a winner for sure. Iris, it's either that, the Goo Goo Dolls Iris, or it's this one. In my feelings, Drake. It's one of the two. I think Goo Goo Dolls. I think Goo Goo Dolls too, yeah. Iris gets to pick. She's picked Goo Goo Dolls Iris.

Don't you love a Gen Z who can get on board with a Goo Goo Dolls joke? Mate, Iris, I commend you for that. We respect you greatly. Thank you very much. Thank you, guys. Very well done. We've got to do one more for May. Hi, May.

Hi, May. Hi. Hi. How are you? How's lockdown? Good, thanks. Could be better, but hey, better safe than sorry, eh? Good attitude, May.

You know what could make it better? What's that? I'll send you some wine. Oh, that would make my COVID lockdown even better. I know. Or a birthday banger. We can probably get you a birthday banger soon. We can get that right now.

Yeah, what's your birthday? 1st of the 12th, 84. All right, May, you were 16 in the year 2000. And on the 1st of December, Millennium, this was top of the chart. Yes, mate. Yeah. Yeah. Remember this one, mate.

Oh, that's got to be the best banger. Right? I'm just hearing right there. So good. Okay, wait there, mate. We've got to vote on this. Rihanna and Calvin Harris.

Drake in my feelings. Unfortunately, not the Goo Goo wait there, mate. We've got to vote on this. Rihanna and Calvin Harris. Drake, In My Feelings. Unfortunately, not the Goo Goo Dolls, Iris. Such a good song, though. Or the Baja Men, Who Let The Dogs Out. It's Who Let The Dogs Out. It's Who Let The Dogs Out, right? That's a Monday banger if I remember. May, you did it.

You just won birthday banger. There you go. It's better than wine, May. Awesome. I think my hair wasn't old enough Too old to play There we go Brian Clint Sit in

Sit in Brian Clint The winner of Birthday Banger For May It's the Baja Men And Who Let The Dogs Out One of my Top five Baja Men songs, I think. Oh, it's way up there on my list too.

Top three. Top three. I'll go as far as saying top three. Really? Real shame we couldn't play Iris for Iris. There's fairly strict rules around birthday banging. And we broke them last week for Panda, so we can't break them two weeks in a row for Iris.

I think that's the first time we've ever broken it. Yeah. And the last. But we love you, Iris. And this can's the first time we've ever broken it. Yeah. And the last. But we love you Iris and this can be your birthday bang. You choose your own. Especially if you make up your birthday. Yeah. You know I had a mate who turned

he had a birthday over the weekend and I messaged him and I said how old are you this birthday? And he said 36 but I've spent the whole year thinking I was about to turn 37. Wow, what a great day. So he effectively got a year younger.

But his whole 35th year, he thought he was 36, but he wasn't. He was 35. Oh, so he's missed out on living a 35th year. Yeah, but what a year to miss out. He missed it in 2020, the year that didn't really exist. Yeah, that's true. Well, I didn't count last year. So I didn't technically, none of us aged a year.

Yeah. It doesn't count. Yeah, except for our faces. Yeah. Except for all the aging bits. Yeah. They didn't take a break. They didn't go on lockdown.

That's true. Bree and Clint. Over the weekend, I figured out what the thing I like least about lockdown is. What? It's supermarket queues. Oh. It is, like, depending on what time you go, it just can be, like, and I get just real, like, antsy in those queues.

Do you have booze in your supermarket? Yes. So at least yours is a one-stop shop. Not that we need alcohol to get through lockdown. But where I live, you've got a queue up at the supermarket and then you've got a queue up at the booze shop as well. A lot of good booze shops are doing deliveries where they bring it to you. That's what we did over the weekend.

Not that I need alcohol to get through lockdown. MVPs, I definitely do. Anyway, off of that, I wanted to give a couple of shout-outs to there's other ways you can actually get groceries to your house. Okay. And it's good to support local. We need to support the local businesses at the moment because, you know, a lot of places

are struggling, especially being closed for lockdown and stuff like that. There's so many different things and like different ways people have developed like getting food to people after the last lockdown. Yeah. You know the store Goodfor? Yes. They do all the last lockdown. Yeah. You know the store Good4? Yes. They do all the eco stuff. Yeah, plastic-free, locally owned and operated.

Anyway, they ship nationwide and their stores are open during level four. So it's a great way you can get spices, seeds, all that type. You know the stuff. They're a fun shop to go to. Yeah, it's very cool. Because you take in your crusty old dishwashing liquid and then you fill it up and then you put it on the scales and it prints you out a fun shop to go to. Yeah, it's very cool. Because you take in your crusty old dishwashing liquid and then you fill it up and then you put on the scales and it prints you out a little label.

I know. So they're open in level four and they ship nationwide. Okay, good to know. Which is really cool. Vetro Mediterranean Foods is a company that sells both imported and local foods. Yeah. And yes.

Not just Mediterranean food. Well, I think that's Because we're getting a bit niche now Where do I go if I want my Wholemeal Peters? What's the best place to get those? This is a little bit niche, maybe you think so But also really cool

Copico Which is a rye and whole wheat Sourdough subscription service Have you heard of that? No, but do they send you a starter? Yeah, no. So they, anyway, it's all locally grown, organic, all that stuff. And anyway, they deliver you bread.

Oh, the actual bread. Oh, right. Yeah. That makes more sense. Yeah. No, they just dish out starters. I thought they were going to give you the little bug thing where you grow your own bread.

Yeah, well, maybe they do that too. No, just give me the bread. We're making our own sourdough last lockdown. Yeah, right. I'm ready to eat the bread this time. So that's cool. There's also like different meat services like Greenlee Butcher is a service where you can get all different type of meats, which is really good because the supermarkets are being

overrun. Yeah. Spread the load. We couldn't get any meat from the supermarket. And there's also another place called Premium Game, which they're a local business as well, and they're a licensed supplier of wild game meat. Wild game meat. Yeah, so if you're just like in lockdown, you're like,

I've got a hankering for some venison. These guys are the kind of people. I need to eat a stag heart. Have you heard of the avo tree? Yes. Which is quite cool. So that's a subscription delivery service. They're in the Bay of Plenty. They're avocado growers in the avo tree? Yes. Which is quite cool. So that's a subscription delivery service. They're in the Bay of Plenty.

They're avocado growers in the Bay of Plenty. Yeah, for avocados grown in the Bay of Plenty. And they pretty much, yeah, it's a subscription to get avocados at your door. Is that what they do? I'm pretty sure, yeah. Friend of the show and former bachelorette Vianney went to work for the avo tree. Oh, really? That's how I know about them.

Quite interesting. How come she never gave me an avocado subscription? That's right up my alley. I'd love that as a gift. Someone get me an avocado subscription. Yeah, the Avotree. There you go. A few local businesses.

If you don't want to brave the shops, you can get all different locally sourced produce and stuff, which is cool. Bree and Clint. One of our major national sporting teams has announced they might be abandoning their name. They've gone, no, it's time for a name change. It's everywhere. It's all in the news.

And maybe, do you think, why now? Well, it's been tough. They haven't had any wins for a while. And I think a total rebrand would be good for the Warriors. Maybe they've just, just oh it's not the warriors the warriors is a good name leave the warriors alone i'm kidding i think it's because they've got nothing else to do in lockdown 2022 is our year for the warriors so lock that in no this team is worried that their name is not that inclusive and could be misconstrued as racist

and look i don't want to be too harsh, but they're 100% correct. The team that thinks that maybe in 2021 it's time for a rebrand is... The All Whites. The men's soccer team. The men's soccer team. Yes. Just putting it out there and going, hey, what's the appetite for change here?

Is All Whites an appropriate name for a soccer team, for a multicultural nation? And, of course, it doesn't mean what it says. It's just they were like, well, All Blacks is taken. What can we have? Let's have All Whites, I guess. Look, I'm not going to lie. As an Aussie, and I've been here for quite a long time now,

one of the things I was quite shocked at is some of the sporting names, like the Badminginton team name. Oh, you're referring to our world champion, the Black Cocks. Yeah, the Black Cocks, obviously named after the shuttle cock, which you use in Badminton. Yeah. Look, was it meant to be funny? I don't know, but I had a good laugh.

I'm glad you brought that up because I thought if we're having an open and candid conversation, maybe it's time to review some of our other sports teams I think that's a good idea Do you think it's appropriate for the New Zealand men's basketball team To be called the Tall Blacks? I mean it's just When I look at that name It's like they didn't try very hard

No they didn't They went all blacks And a T Tall blacks And they're tall Tall blacks Problem is you go to the United States of America where the game is heavily embraced by the African-American community

and then they play the tall blacks and they're like, you guys aren't even that tall, let alone that black. Yeah. You know? I mean, not the best name. It's not creative. Okay, so maybe they can change it. But I'm going to tell them what to do.

What about the New Zealand representative snooker team? What do they call? The black balls. Oh, hey. Could be worse. Could be the blue balls. Yeah, that's true. That's true, and that's an option.

Black balls also not a good situation to be in. What about New Zealand's representative trailer reversing team? The back blacks. Or was it Black backs Back blacks Or black backs Not sure which one it is You stuffed the joke up didn't you

Black backs Back blacks What about our What about our What about our National power Let me finish this shit gag Sorry okay sorry

I'll pretend like you didn't Stuff that one What about our National What What's Who else What about our national... What? What's... Who else? What about our...

Oh, shit. What about our New Zealand representative powerlifting team? Oh, what's their name, Clint? The White Powerlifters. See, that one just sounds... Oh, no. Oh, no, you didn't. You didn't.

Yeah, look, maybe we'll all just change our name. We should have stopped at the Black Cocks.
