Hello everybody, welcome to the Brand Clint podcast. Anastasia's busy so you're going to have to do the trumpets. Sweet, maybe we scrap the trumpets until Ben's back. Maybe we... Oh, just a thought. Just a thought.
Starting point is 00:00:33 We're having to... We're in lockdown here and it's changing the way we do everything. That's part of the reason why Ben is not available. He's stuck at home at the moment. So, look, we have to reassess everything and I'm reassessing the trumpets on the fly. Yeah, probably a good idea.
Starting point is 00:00:47 Same with the dolphin. Oh, fuck, we've got to do the dolphin at the end of this too. Yeah, nah, I think the dolphin's gone as well, I think. I had a message today from long-time podcast listener Kariva. Remember Kariva? We've talked to her before. Yes.
Starting point is 00:01:04 She said that it's unfair that the milk-off has been judged without Ben's input. She said that she knows for a fact that Ben is working on a special milk and that to judge it now and close the competition is unfair. She said, Ben has got a good idea and you've got to remember the scores until he returns. Now, the reason I think that might be interesting for you is shot at redemption. It would force a re-vote. I know you feel particularly hard done by by Anastasia's avocado nut milk. It was delicious.
Starting point is 00:01:34 Yeah, I know. No, I just feel, I just feel, I don't feel hard done by. I feel cheated. I feel like there was some foul play at hand. There's absolutely some foul play at hand. There's absolutely some foul play at hand. Yeah. And I feel like Clint's on my side. And you girls out there, you know, you're on a team of your own.
Starting point is 00:01:53 We're on a team in here. Yeah. Why don't we call Ben? I don't want to hold out hope that the milk-off is going to continue. If he's not sitting on a milk idea. I'm kind of done with the milk-off, eh? Yeah, I feel like podcast listeners would be done with the milk off too. But I've already put the phone number on.
Starting point is 00:02:08 But that's what you would say because you've got what you came for. You've cheated everyone and now you're off into the sun. He doesn't answer. G'day, guys. Oh, there he is. Hey, Ben. G'day, mate. G'day, mate.
Starting point is 00:02:22 Hey, look, we've had correspondence that suggests, even though the milk-off wrapped up yesterday, that you're sitting on a powerful, powerful milk and that we should actually keep it open until you can make it back and include your milk in the voting. Is there any truth to that? Yep, heaps of truth in that, and I definitely think you should keep it open. I'm ready to come back on Monday, and you will be shocked.
Starting point is 00:02:45 Right, okay. Can you give us a teaser about what sort of milk you've got? Fruity. Oh. Is it kiwi fruit? I'm not allowed to say. I know Ben. Ben's a massive fan of banana.
Starting point is 00:03:02 Is it? And lime. I reckon it's a banana lime milk. I can't say anything. I'm not giving anything away. Okay, but you want us to leave it open. Can I make another milk? I want to make prawn milk.
Starting point is 00:03:14 Ew. No, Ben's alluded to prawns. I want prawns. Then I definitely can't come back. Anastasia is being so underhanded about this competition. She voted Brie out strategically, and now she wants to kill you with anaphylaxis with her broad milk. I think you're not included
Starting point is 00:03:27 in the next lockdown competition because you've really, really showed your true colours. So I'll just go home. Okay, Ben, while it stays open, man. Yeah. We'll wait for your fruit milk on Monday. Sounds good. I'm looking forward to it. Banana lime.
Starting point is 00:03:44 Lock it in. I reckon that's what it is. You don't necessarily lose your title, Anastasia. This is going to be a re-vote, and I don't believe Bree is going to look as kindly on your milk in the next round of voting. Yeah, you were lucky that I voted before you voted. That's all I can say. Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Starting point is 00:04:01 Oh, shit. Yeah, sorry. Yeah, there's a bit of anger in the studio, Ben. I'm competitive, and I'm not afraid to say it. No, but it's fine to be competitive, because I'm competitive. Clint's competitive. I know. But you need to be fair.
Starting point is 00:04:15 I think it was fair. Oh, no, I can't talk. I didn't even try a drink. I enjoyed Alice Milk. Thank you. Look. It sounds like tensions are high, guys. Yeah, tensions are high, man. Tensions are high, man.
Starting point is 00:04:25 Tensions are high. You're so full of shit. Okay, Ben, we'll see you on Monday with a milk for the milk off. Good. I was hoping this competition wouldn't end. I've been enjoying it too much. No, I haven't. The feedback's been great.
Starting point is 00:04:37 I think we need to move on to a new content. Soup tomorrow? Soup. I love some soup. How are you meant to make your own soup? I feel like that's a lot more work. Maybe. You know how we're not doing any noises at the moment?
Starting point is 00:04:50 Yeah. For tomorrow's international birthday banger, should we all sing one of the songs? Oh, God, that's cancer. Oh, fuck that. Ben, for variation, can you dolphin us out, please, this afternoon? And Ella is going to splash us.
Starting point is 00:05:04 Oh, do you want me to fire off the dolphin sound effect? No, a live dolphin, just out of your mouth, because we've got no buttons. Oh, a live dolphin. Yeah, I can do that. You let me know when you're ready. You're doing a splash at the same time? Thanks, everybody, for listening to the podcast. Have a great night.
Starting point is 00:05:18 Looking forward to that milk, Ben. Dolphin, go. Splash, go. Splash. How did Ben do Such a good dolphin That was really good That was an excellent dolphin Good job Ben
Starting point is 00:05:29 Wow Proud of you Is that your girlfriend Brett I heard she does A good dolphin I don't know what that means Me either

Starting point is 00:05:44 Get the full menu Delivered to your door With the KFC app Play ZM Good afternoon, everybody. Welcome to the show. It's Bree and Clint. Happy Thursday, everyone. Just saw a funny thing on the Hits Instagram page. Oh, yeah. That we can do real quick. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:01 So apparently Anika, who's on the hits, said she has a theory that pets have the same personality as their owners. Okay. Yeah. So if we're saying what the personality traits are of our animals, let's see if it matches in. So you would be obviously Bowie. Yeah. Because your wife is Ziggy.
Starting point is 00:06:25 Yeah. Your two cats, you're Bowie. So what are Bowie's personality traits? Annoying, stays up too late, makes too much noise in the bathroom. That's you! Literally. That's literally you. And Ziggy would be a bit shy, a bit timid, likes to stick to the house.
Starting point is 00:06:44 The pretty one Yeah Whoa Okay Let's do Whitney the dog then Bat shit crazy Checks out Do we become our pets
Starting point is 00:06:57 Or do we project our personalities Onto our pets Which way does it go do you think Well I think it's the same as like Kids I feel like you know you have influence They're a product of their environment. You have a bit of influence on their personality
Starting point is 00:07:10 by their upbringing. Yeah right Did you want to talk about your thingy by the way today? Oh yeah Exciting times for me this morning Got my first vaccine this morning and it was very seamless. Took about 45 minutes to an hour all up. Where did you go? I went to a place
Starting point is 00:07:26 in Monaco. Monaco. And I just made my booking online. It's a long way for you to go for a vaccine. Yeah, but it was the only place I could get in last week straight away. So I was like, oh, not a big deal. I'm going to be
Starting point is 00:07:42 in my car. I didn't get out anywhere. So I just drove there, got out. But it wasn't really in Monaco. It was like more, like it was closer. It was more like Royal Oak. Oh, yeah, okay. More like, yeah. Oh, you're nowhere close.
Starting point is 00:07:54 Yeah. Huh? That's nowhere close. Talk about 15 minutes. Yeah, right. Good, good stuff. They're rolling out quickly now. I heard the ad from the COVID lady,
Starting point is 00:08:03 who's definitely got a cold by the way, saying that over 30s can now book their vaccines. Which is exciting. Today on the show, we've got free money to give away with Free Guy at 5 o'clock. If you can last that long in your work from home office, just keep ZM on, we'll pay you then. We should talk about the other big money that we've got. Oh yeah, Watch the Plot is happening today. We're playing Watch the Plot at quarter to five for $1,050 today.
Starting point is 00:08:29 It's our movie guessing game. So if there's one time that you tune in to our show this afternoon, it's just before five. Yeah, just be listening from 445. I'll give you a shot at taking on Bree to win over a grand. It's the most money we've ever played for on What's the Plot. It's huge. It's big. It's large. It's the most money we've ever played for, and what's the plot? It's huge. It's big.
Starting point is 00:08:46 It's large. It's large. Enormous. Sizeable. Gigantic. Girthy. Bree and Clint. Bree and Clint.
Starting point is 00:08:54 That's, what's her name? Olivia Rodrigo. I was about to say Paramore. Well, there's that story out today. Yeah, yeah, yeah. About how... Paramore are now getting a writing credit on that song. Yeah. Because it sounds so much like misery business.
Starting point is 00:09:08 I reckon it's because everyone just started that TikTok trend and Olivia Rodriguez is like, shit, I don't want to get sued. Don't let Hayley Williams know. Bree and Clintz. Tradie versus Lady. Alright, big game yesterday in Tradie versus Lady. The scores
Starting point is 00:09:24 were tied at 68 apiece, but the ladies took it out, so they are ahead on one point on 69 points. The tradie's still on 68. Let's meet our lady for the day.

I'm sure it gets lonely, but it sounds quite relaxing to me. It is quite relaxing, yeah. Don't have to do what anyone else wants to do any of the time. You don't even have to get dressed.

Starting point is 00:13:38 Thanks to KFC. Bree and Clint. We're going to have a round of quarantine Cluedo next, and guess where you are in your house for lockdown. I want some people to test us today. I want some people to go to some creative places in their house. Like the attic? We've never had an attic. Do you have an attic in your house? Yeah, got an attic. Yeah, we do too. Got an under the house. It's not really a basement. It's more dirt and piles, but you know, you can get there. Call it the basement. You can call it the basement or you can call it under the house.
Starting point is 00:14:06 You can call it under the house. Maybe there's a large hole in your backyard you want to play from this afternoon. The out the back shed. Yes. People have outdoor sheds. Inside the compost bin. Whatever you're up for this afternoon, if you want to try and trick us in a creative place, call us now on 0800DIALSZM to play Quarantine Cluedo.
Starting point is 00:14:26 Where are you hiding? We're coming for you. We gon' find you. Gon' find you. We gon' find you. Oh boy. Free and Clint. Google have released
Starting point is 00:14:38 the country's top searched topics. Our search history really for the first week of lockdown. I can think of a few. Bit of an invasion of privacy, I thought. Oh, yeah, give me a few. What have you got? Banana bread.
Starting point is 00:14:50 Yeah. Recipe. Is that on the list? I'm pretty sure that is in there, yeah. We're so basic. We're just doing the same things as last lockdown. Things to do when you're incredibly bored. Is that something that they're Googling?
Starting point is 00:15:02 No. No, not on the list. I think they're Googling these things because they're incredibly bored. Right. So this is for the first week of our lockdown. It's New Zealand specific. These are the things that we've been searching broken down into category. Under the delivery and food category, we have been searching alcohol delivery,
Starting point is 00:15:22 lockdown loaf, meat delivery, and are bakeries open at level four? I've Googled two of those things. Have you? Yep, I've Googled. Meat and alcohol? Yes. Like I said, we're so basic.
Starting point is 00:15:38 Did you find an alcohol delivery? Yeah. Did you? Around the corner from my house. Oh, a local one. Yeah. Good for you. Support local.
Starting point is 00:15:44 That doesn't help me. Support local business. Okay, here's our recipe searches. Everyone's getting back in the kitchen and cooking. I tried to buy flour from the supermarket last night. No chance. Really?
Starting point is 00:15:52 Although I went across the road to the dairy. Heaps of flour. Just go to the dairy. So much flour. The dairy's so good. Love the dairy. Okay, these are the recipes
Starting point is 00:15:59 we're cooking this lockdown according to Google. Focaccia. Oh, focaccia. Cinnamon rolls. My wife made cinnamon rolls Google. Focaccia. Oh, focaccia. Cinnamon rolls. My wife made cinnamon rolls today. They were so good. Yeah, cinnamon rolls are the bomb.
Starting point is 00:16:11 Pizza dough recipe. Yeah, bring that on. That's so good when you figure out how to make your own pizza dough. Pancake recipes. Pizza dough recipe again. Scone recipes. Oh, I love a scone. Brown recipes.
Starting point is 00:16:29 Brownie recipes. Okay. Doesn't say whether they've got wheat in them or not. A lot of sweets. Yeah, and apple crumble recipes. All sweets. Everyone wants comfort food. See, comfort foods for me is pasta.
Starting point is 00:16:39 Right, okay. Yeah. No one's on there going, what's a lockdown curry I could make? But you should. I love curry. Yeah. Now one's on there going, what's a lockdown curry I could make? But you should. I love curry. Yeah. Now we get a little bit more serious.
Starting point is 00:16:49 These are the top searches under the home improvement slash DIY category. Okay. Because you've got two people in lockdown. One goes straight to the kitchen and cooks or eats. That's me. The other one goes straight outside and goes, whoa, what are these jobs we've been meaning to get around to for ages?
Starting point is 00:17:03 That's my partner. That's me. Yeah. So these are the top. Oh, and your wife get around to for ages? That's my partner. That's me. Yeah. So these are the top. Oh, and your wife is the cooker. Yeah. And she's the cooker. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:08 That makes sense. Here are the top searches in New Zealand on Google in the last week under home improvement slash DIY. Number one, is Mitre 10 open? Oh, yeah. It's not. It's not. Not even for click and collect.
Starting point is 00:17:20 That's level three. They're doing delivery of essential items, I think. Oh, right. But unfortunately, things like outdoor furniture, those nice rope lights that you can get. Yeah, can't get those.
Starting point is 00:17:33 Same with animates, actually. Like any pet stores and stuff. Oh, yeah. They're only doing certain stuff. DIY desks, as in how to build your own desk. Really? That's one of the top searches on Google at the moment.
Starting point is 00:17:46 Mitre 10 is only open for essential things. Paint is not essential. That's why homemade paint is one of the tops. That's not a good idea. That is never a good idea. Can you imagine if we're in this lockdown for a bit and we get to the end of it and you've decided to paint your house in homemade paint?
Starting point is 00:18:04 Can you imagine the first rainfall? What's going to happen to your homemade paint? You'll have a watercolour house. Chainsaw rental? That's risky as well. People googling chainsaw rental for DIY. And the number one search
Starting point is 00:18:19 under home improvement DIY for lockdown week one in New Zealand was how to build a deck. Now, again, much like chainsaw rental and homemade paint, unless you know what you're doing, I don't think this lockdown is the time to start figuring it out. It's not a good idea to start at the deck level.
Starting point is 00:18:40 Like, start with a flat pack. Yeah. Bree and Clint from iHeartRadio. This is the latest live from LA with Dean McCarthy. Like, start with the flat pack. Dean's on the line with us. This story is huge today. It's everywhere. The baby from the Nirvana Nevermind album cover, the naked baby that was underwater chasing the dollar bill,
Starting point is 00:19:00 is suing Nirvana, Dean. Yes, this is absolutely... We didn't see this one coming. So 30 years ago, the guy's name is Spencer Eldon. He did that photo shoot. He was a four-month-old baby, and his father was actually friends with the photographer. So that's how he was, I guess you could say, cast. Now, 30 years ago, you know, he's grown, man.
Starting point is 00:19:16 Now he's even got the album cover tattooed on his body, actually. But now he's changed his tune. He's come out and says that this has really affected him negatively. He's claiming that the photo, as per the report, is child pornography. And, of course, very explicit, considering the baby is reaching for a dollar bill in the actual photo. As you all remember, it's a very, very memorable, very, very famous cover. He says it's private sexually explicit materials and described as sex trafficking. So he won, he really won, $150,000 from each of the members,
Starting point is 00:19:50 including also Kurt Cobain's estate and everyone else involved with the production. He says it's very negatively affected his life and he alleges the photo of him as a baby is now considered child pornography. Yeah, right. This is such an interesting story to me. Well, because it's become a piece of pop art.
Starting point is 00:20:11 It's iconic. It's folklore now. And they would have never known that the album was going to be one of the biggest albums of all time. Right. And I don't know what technology they had available in 1994 or whatever it was. Probably should have photoshopped out the wanger, you know? Probably just the image would have still been as powerful
Starting point is 00:20:29 if a baby was chasing a dollar note if they just photoshopped out the little baby wanger, right? Look, I reckon it's interesting that he wants such a specific amount from each person that he's suing as well. That's quite interesting too. Yeah, he knows what he wants. I'd like to know where, like his background, what he's doing in his life.
Starting point is 00:20:49 Is this like something, and maybe it has negatively affected him. I don't know. I haven't lived his life. Or does he need cash quick at the moment? I don't know. Who knows? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:00 It comes back on his parents though. He should be angry at his parents. Yeah, well why? He should have gone, why did you put my wanger on an album cover in the 90s? And they said, because we love Nirvana. I mean. It's like if Brie put her dog's wanger on the Ariana Grande album cover.
Starting point is 00:21:16 Well, that'd be very interesting because my dog's a f***er. Wouldn't that be very interesting? Look, I'm not going to lie. One of my favourite things in the whole world is cheese. Love eating it out of the bag. Love cutting it from the block. I love putting it on my food. I love it.
Starting point is 00:21:31 Your favourite flavour of cheese is grated, isn't it? I love grated cheese. Can't beat it. Melted cheese. I never understood grated cheese in a bag until I bought it. Then I was like, this is genius. So good. And you can buy like the real good grated cheese.
Starting point is 00:21:45 You can buy good pre-grated cheese. Yeah. It's brilliant. The cheese tastes better when you don't have to grate it yourself. Sometimes people say, what's for dinner? I say grated cheese in a bag. Bag of cheese. Bag of cheese.
Starting point is 00:21:55 There's been a survey done in the UK where they've asked people, what is your favourite cheese? What is the best? Oh, yeah. And this, it interested me because I was like, I wonder what people are loving. I don't trust British taste buds. If you're listening, British people, I love you,
Starting point is 00:22:12 but I don't trust your taste buds. Okay. Why? I find English cuisine very mild is one way to put it. Right. What about the black pudding? Oh, we'd give that to the Scots, Right. What about the black pudding? Oh, they're... We'd give that to the Scots, wouldn't we?
Starting point is 00:22:28 The black pudding? Yeah, they're from the UK. Yeah, right, true. Okay. Yeah, I'm just saying I feel like... Right. That's the home of a milky tea, put it that way. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:37 They love a milky tea, don't they? Well, this might interest you as well then. What do you think has made the top ten for the favourite cheeses in the UK? They'd love a brie. They'd love a creamy brie. Brie's in there. Came in at number six with 17% of the vote. They'd love a mild cheese, just a mild.
Starting point is 00:22:57 Is that an option? No. Colby. They'd probably call it a Colby. Which would you say is a cheddar? Yeah. A cheddar came in at number two. Yeah. 33%. Yeah, yeah, great.
Starting point is 00:23:05 I don't think you will ever guess what came in as number one for UK's favourite cheese. Okay, give me top three. Okay, top three. Coming in at number three, mozzarella. Oh, okay. Which I mean, mozzarella. It's so useful. It's such a great cheese.
Starting point is 00:23:21 It doesn't have a lot of flavour to it, but it's so useful and its cheesy consistency is really good. You can do a lot with mozzarella. Yeah. That came in at number three. I just said before, cheddar, number two. Yeah. But taking out- It's not not cheddar.
Starting point is 00:23:34 Cheddar is a classic. If we're talking about a block of Colby, New Zealand was built on a block of Colby, okay? Oh, yeah. But I mean- Value metric block of Colby. What I would say to people if they said, oh, my favourite is a block of cheddar cheese,
Starting point is 00:23:47 I'd say you need to maybe explore a little bit more. Broaden your cheese horizons. Okay. Coming in at number one for the UK's favourite cheese is those processed cheese slices. No joke. I told you I didn't trust the English taste buds. What are they doing? I told you and if you, when I said that, when I called you mild, said that that was
Starting point is 00:24:10 mean, you've just proven me right. That's not okay. I will say I do love a processed cheese slice. I mean, I don't hate it. It goes beautifully on a hamburger. But I know I'm not eating cheese. I know I'm eating a cheese replica. You technically can't call it cheese. It's the difference between a sizzler and a sausage. But I know I'm not eating cheese. I know I'm eating a cheese replica.
Starting point is 00:24:26 You technically can't call it cheese. It's the difference between a sizzler and a sausage. I don't mind a sizzler. I love a cheese sizzler. Wait, what's a sizzler? Have you not had a sizzler? No. A bean to sizzler?
Starting point is 00:24:35 No, a sizzler sausage. They have to call them sizzlers, not sausage, because there's not enough meat in them to be called sausage. I don't know if I want to have one. Ella, who's feeling like a bean is vegan, you can probably eat a sizzler. I mean, I don't know if I want to have one. Ella, who's feeling a bit of a bend, is vegan. You could probably eat a sizzler. I mean, I don't know the actual meat content of it. There are some. Ew, I do not want to touch a sizzler.
Starting point is 00:24:53 That's probably worse than meat because you don't know what you're eating. Cheese? Do you like any cheeses? I like vegan cheese. Vegan mozzarella, as you were saying. Delicious. Yeah, I'll be sure to get around that. What about you, producer'll be sure to... We'll take your word. Be sure to get around that. What about you, producer Anastasia?
Starting point is 00:25:07 What's your favourite? Old Amsterdam. I love Old Amsterdam. It's an aged cheddar. Yeah. Or a holder. A holder. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:15 Which Kiwis would know as gouda. Yeah. Gouda. Is it a Dutch cheese, the gouda? I don't know. I probably just made that up. You just Dutch-ifying it? I claim a lot of things to be Dutch. What about you, Clint? What's your favourite? I don't know. I probably just made that up. You're just Dutchifying it. I claim a lot of things to be Dutch. What about you, Clint? What's your favourite?
Starting point is 00:25:28 I don't mind a Havarti. I love a blue cheese. I love blue cheese. My top cheese is halloumi. Salty, salty halloumi. Unpopular opinion. Halloumi is average
Starting point is 00:25:43 as... tastes like a piece of... Well, let's see if it's an unpopular opinion. Halloumi is average as... Tastes like a piece of... Well, let's see if it's an unpopular opinion. Anybody agree? You can't... Actually, when I wasn't vegan, it was kind of good. Okay. Yeah. Rubbery until cooked properly.
Starting point is 00:25:55 Yeah, you're right. It tastes like rubbery... It's salty, yes. It's awesome. And you can cook it in the sandwich press. It does get a bit dried up and shriveled. It's not bad. It's like all like, yeah, sweaty. Put it in a curry. Like pretty sweet. I really like it in burgers. The ultimate cheese. bit dried up and shriveled. Salad's not bad. It's like, it's like all like,
Starting point is 00:26:05 yeah, sweaty. Put it in a curry. Like pretty sweet. I only like it in burgers. The ultimate cheese. Alright, alright, alright. Cheese influencer, tell us what the best cheese is.
Starting point is 00:26:12 The ultimate cheese, and hear me out, is of course, parmesan cheese. Because, it makes so many different meals way better, and then eat it on its own,
Starting point is 00:26:24 it's amazing. It's too on its own. It's amazing. It's too small the quantity. That's right. It comes in such a small block. That's not the cheese's fault. It's so expensive too. Jeez, this isn't the cheese's fault. Pre-grated Parmesan though.
Starting point is 00:26:37 So good. Such a good life hack. Just quickly on the cheese conversation, shout out to the person who texted and said, I ate a wheel of camembert every day while I was pregnant. You're my actual hero. Whoever you are, you are an absolute icon. I imagine them eating it like a cookie time cookie.
Starting point is 00:26:56 Just like. Have you ever done that? Bit into a wheel of cheese? No. So eating a whole wheel. Oh, no. No, I've only ever sheared a wheel. Yeah, same.
Starting point is 00:27:08 My own new truth. This year in particular, the secondhand video game market has gone ballistic. I found this really weird, the things that are valuable at the moment. It's NFTs, Pokemon cards, and vintage video games. This one is even more interesting Pokemon cards and vintage video games this one is even more interesting because someone donated this video game
Starting point is 00:27:29 to the Goodwill store I love these stories yeah well not for the person that donated I think they knew what they were doing
Starting point is 00:27:36 oh they did I think they did it on purpose and they said I'm not going to make a donation to you I'll give you this game so Goodwill is like
Starting point is 00:27:42 the Salvation Army in New Zealand in America it's just a charity store. They sell secondhand things. Someone gave them an unopened copy of The Legend of Zelda for Nintendo NES from 1986. And they sold that copy of The Legend of Zelda,
Starting point is 00:27:59 which was still in its original box, unopened. $411,000. Wow. It's a second printing of the game and the plastic wrapper is still on the game. The wrapper is said to have a couple of scratches and smudges. The sticker on the outside of the wrapper and one of the corners is peeling off a little bit.
Starting point is 00:28:22 And for that reason, it only went for $400,000. God, you want to hope it works. The game. Yeah, have you paid that much? You're not playing it. Oh, why not? You're not opening it. Why not?
Starting point is 00:28:32 Because it's worth $400,000. What's the point? It's only worth $400,000 because it's still sealed. You know, I get that. But why spend that amount of money if you can't experience the game? If you want to play it, go and trade me and buy a dusty old copy out of someone's you know, out of someone's rumpus room. What are you not playing at?
Starting point is 00:28:50 It's the biggest flex of all time. But that's like, would you buy You're destroying a piece of art by doing that. If you bought a pair of Michael Jordan shoes that were like, you know, whatever they were say they were the ones he wore in the first game that he played, would you wear them?
Starting point is 00:29:06 Yeah, but I could wear them without anyone knowing that I'd worn them. No, but people can tell. No, they can't tell. If I just put them on and just in my lounge just did a couple of like basketball moves and then put them back in the case, no one would know. Whereas this game, if you opened it, it's open. But it's not a conversation piece then.
Starting point is 00:29:23 What do you mean? Like if you wore them out in public, people would be like, no way, they're the shoes. They wouldn't know. They wouldn't know. You'd have to tell everybody. You'd have to be like,
Starting point is 00:29:32 hey, did you know these are the original Michael Jordan shoes? And they'd go, idiot, why are you wearing those? No, they'd probably go, yeah, sure they are. The record, by the way, was set for video games this year,
Starting point is 00:29:44 a copy of Mario Brothers, Super Mario Brothers for Nintendo NES from 1985, unopened, sold for $2 million. How much is a, like a 2003... Crash Bandicoot? Yeah. I got that at home. About 50 bucks on Trade Me? It's definitely open.
Starting point is 00:30:03 Yeah. And to use. It's about that time of the day where we attempt to boost the mood of the nation with a morale boosting request. A song to lift you out of your Zoom hole.
Starting point is 00:30:17 Your work from a hole. Zoom hole's a bad word. I was going to say. Don't Zoom your hole. Wouldn't say that to him. Don't Zoom your hole. Three times. And if you do
Starting point is 00:30:25 Make sure the camera's At a high angle Yeah It's much more flattering Zoom hole Zoom hole We play a song You guys help us
Starting point is 00:30:33 Pick the song You suggest it And then we play The song Which will boost The mood of the nation We need a theme What was yesterday's theme?
Starting point is 00:30:41 Songs that were made big In television Singing competition Singing competition shows. It was great. Phil and producer Ella wants us to do Disney songs. No, musicals. Oh, was it musicals specifically?
Starting point is 00:30:55 Right. Yeah, I'd love some like High School Musical or we could really, there's a lot. Yeah, I don't know if we're there yet. I don't know if we're in that part of lockdown yet. I do love that song. And all that jazz. Oh, go on. That's a great song Yeah, I don't know if we're there yet. I don't know if we're in that part of lockdown yet. I do love that song. And all that jazz. Oh, go on. That's a great song.
Starting point is 00:31:09 I love that song. Yeah, like I said, maybe if we end up in lockdown for three weeks, we might end up there. We'll get there. What's the theme for today? What can we do today that's fun? Thursday. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:17 It's Thursday. I mean. Thirsty Thursday songs. What about Soft Rock Thursday? Soft Rock Thursday? Soft Rock Thursday. First a conversation about cheese and now a soft rock theme. Could today get any better? I don't think so.
Starting point is 00:31:34 Perfect. You've hit the nail on the head. Next, the morale boosting song, the song to boost the mood of the nation will be a soft rock song. But you need to suggest it. It's going to be a tough category. Brie and Clint. Zed and Brie and Clint, that's the latest Lorde song. It's called Mood Ring.
Starting point is 00:31:50 It's time, speaking of mood, to boost the mood of the nation. After a long day of lockdown and working from home and dealing with your flatmates, we want to break the tension and lift the mood with a morale-boosting request. What better way to do that with the theme of Soft Rock Thursday. We and Clint's Soft Rock FM. That's right.
Starting point is 00:32:13 We're starting our own radio station. It's all ready to go. It's all just Soft Rock. It's just Soft Rock. It's a dream of ours one day. Yeah. Once our time here at ZM is done, we're hoping to move to Soft Rock FM. Bree and Clint's Soft Rock FM.
Starting point is 00:32:28 Who else will we get on the station? As a host? Yeah. That's a great question. Just someone with like a soothing voice. Yeah, who's got a nice voice. Obviously, you know. Robert Taylor, who did the sweepers.
Starting point is 00:32:39 Absolutely. He's on there. He'd be great. Actually, I think he's already on Soft Rock FM. Definitely not ZM. This is Soft Rock FM. Definitely not ZDM. This is Soft Rock FM. Okay, we've got some songs. If you want to be an impartial judge today
Starting point is 00:32:51 to pick the Soft Rock morale booster, 0800 dial ZDM right now. This one came through straight away. It was the first one. Is it Hinder? It's really good to hear your voice Saying my name, it sounds soft It's soft. Artistry.
Starting point is 00:33:08 Is it soft enough, though? These guys definitely are. Is it The Fray? God, I love The Fray. This is Grey's Anatomy. It's everything. It's every teenage kind of TV show in that era. Is it Lifehouse?
Starting point is 00:33:32 Hard to top that. Hard to top that. But you know who could top it? Who? Train. Train. I went to a train gig about five years ago. Did you?
Starting point is 00:33:45 And it was... How did you get there? On the bandwagon? I took the train. And it was the weirdest thing for me because it was obviously the guys from Train. It was in this tiny pub and I was like, this is so surreal.
Starting point is 00:33:58 Oh, was it a small gig? Yeah. Oh, Train not doing stadiums these days? Nah, they weren't. It was for a radio station. Oh, right, right, right, right. Is it Matchbox 20? Rob Thomas.
Starting point is 00:34:10 Yes, please. That's just such a good theme. We don't have a judge, by the way. It's coming down to you and me. All right. So I'll throw two more in there just to make it really hard. The script. So good.
Starting point is 00:34:33 Oh, one more. Gem's blunt. This is the one Anastasia wants. Yeah, it's her favourite. This is her pick. She's a blunty. He's just so funny, isn't he? Anastasia's a massive blunt.
Starting point is 00:34:52 One vote each. Let's start knocking them out. Okay, we'll knock them out. I reckon we get rid of Hinda. Yeah. Gone. Okay, cool. I reckon we get rid of the fray because we've got the scraps.
Starting point is 00:35:02 Okay. Okay. Lifehouse we can't get rid of yet. Nah, that stays. Okay. Lifehouse we can't get rid of yet. Nah, that stays. Drops of Jupiter we can't get rid of. Matchbox 20, unfortunately it's going. Yeah, no, it's going.
Starting point is 00:35:15 The script? It's staying and James Blunt is going. Okay, so we've got three. So we've got the script, we've got Lifehouse and we've got three. So we've got The Script, we've got Lifehouse, and we've got How to Save a Life. I don't know that.
Starting point is 00:35:28 No, we don't have How to Save a Life. We've got Drops of Jupiter. Drops of Jupiter. Drops of Jupiter, Hang By A Moment, Break Even. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:33 Say it with me on three. Oh, no. We need to do this. Okay. People need their morale boosting. Okay, okay, okay. Three, two, one. The Script, Break Even.
Starting point is 00:35:42 Yes! Brie and Clint. Once upon a time, there was a girl. She was smart, debatable, talented, eh, athletic. Not really, but picking a movie title based on just the plot
Starting point is 00:35:58 line, that she can do. Brie and Clint's What's the Plot? A record amount of money up for grabs and a record title on the line in What's the Plot today. $1,050 up for grabs if you can beat Bree in our movie Guessing Game. I mean, just imagine the bragging rights. I took down that Aussie lass on ZM the other day. Lass?
Starting point is 00:36:25 You reckon they're going to go back to the 1910s and start using the word lass? They'll probably say Aussie Sheila. Oh, you reckon Sheila. I don't know what terminology Lizelle will use if she meets you, though. Hi, Liz. Hi, Liz. Hi, how are you? Good, how are you?
Starting point is 00:36:38 Good, thank you. Are you the lass to take Bree down this afternoon and pocket $1,050? I'd hope so. Let's hope. Yeah. Are you a movie buff? Do you know your movies? Yes, but when you put on the spot, you know, that's a whole different story.
Starting point is 00:36:54 Totally. It is a lot harder when there's pressure placed on you. But pressure makes diamonds. Blood diamonds. Not one of the movies in the What's the Plot today. Here we go. I'll give you the rules first, and then I'll give you the theme, and then we will start immediately.
Starting point is 00:37:08 Your buzzer is your name. You don't have to wait for me to finish to buzz in to have a guess. If you get it wrong, the other person gets a free guess. First to two wins What's the Plot. Good luck, everybody. Today, to celebrate a record amount of money, the theme is movies that blew the budget and went way over budget.
Starting point is 00:37:29 That doesn't give us much, but that's all right. Here we go, movie number one. A famous newscaster leaves Buffalo Bree. Anchorman. Anchorman. Oh, she's good. Is she, though? Because that's wrong.
Starting point is 00:37:43 Oh, okay. Took a punt. Took a punt. Took a punt. Would you like a free guess, Lizelle? I couldn't hear the last bit of it. I can give you as much as I've said. A famous newscaster leaves Buffalo. How did you think?
Starting point is 00:38:02 I'll buzz you out. That's okay. Let's keep going. A famous newscaster leaves Buffalo behind when he wins a seat in Congress. Moving his wife and family to Northern Virginia, he seems to have it made. Then God throws a crisis on Brie. It's either one...
Starting point is 00:38:22 No, it's not Bruce Almighty Because that's not the plot line It must be that other movie they did What's the guy's Evan Almighty Evan Almighty That's the movie Evan Almighty is correct Yes
Starting point is 00:38:34 Do you know that one Lizelle Yes I do Horrible film I know That movie 35 million dollars over budget. Yeah, they made that big arc. Movie number two.
Starting point is 00:38:51 This expansive remake of a 1933 classic follows a director and his crew on a journey from New York City. Lizelle. Lizelle. This is not the Titanic. The Titanic is not correct. That would be a film that blew the budget, though, the Titanic. What do you think?
Starting point is 00:39:13 Very free guess. I don't know from that amount. I'll buzz you out. A director and his crew leave on a journey from New York City to an ominous secret island to... Brie King Kong. Oh, only Brie buzzed in. So Brie gets the point and Brie gets the game.
Starting point is 00:39:36 Sorry, Lizelle, you didn't use your buzzer. Oh, I didn't use my buzzer. Sorry, Lizelle. Very well done, though. We have 50 KFC chicken dollars for you instead as a consolation prize. Congratulations. Cool.
Starting point is 00:39:48 Excellent. We appreciate you playing. And guess what the third movie was going to be, Lizelle? Titanic. Titanic. Oh, you see. There you go.
Starting point is 00:39:57 That's What's the Plot. We'll be back again to play next week for $1,100. Bring it on, I say. How high can we go? I don't know. How high can we go? I don't know. How high can we go?
Starting point is 00:40:05 We'll be going all year. No, see, I've just jinxed myself. It's going to go next week. Also, I'd quite like to give away some money at some stage. Yeah, same. So quite good for someone to win soon. But how good's winning? Bree and Clint.
Starting point is 00:40:16 There's a story during the rounds today, and it's a guy who's posted it on Twitter. His name is Jacques, and he went on a date and he said that he got ghosted for what he's saying is a really shallow reason. Oh, okay. Which I'd have to agree with him. Was it tiny?
Starting point is 00:40:38 No, it wasn't. Bank account? Was it small funds? No, it wasn't. Was it lack of funds? So Jacques said he went on a date with a 23-year-old woman. He thought the date went really well. But unfortunately, he received this text message the next day.
Starting point is 00:40:57 Okay. Hi there. Sorry for not messaging until now. I enjoyed our date last week. Oh, sorry, this must be the week after. Date last week, but when you said the phrase put my thinking cap on, it kind of gave me the
Starting point is 00:41:11 ick, so I wasn't really interested in pursuing things. That's so harsh. Yes, but you and I just this week have been having the conversation about the ick and how you can't control when you get the ick and you can't decide what gives you the ick. And for her, it's put your thinking cap on.
Starting point is 00:41:30 I have a similar reaction when I see people say things like, I don't want to adult today. And, oh, adulting is hard. That's the one for you? That's the one for me. I'm like, I don't want to associate with you anymore. You know? I know it's shallow. I you That's the one for me I'm like I don't I don't want to associate With you anymore You know I know it's shallow
Starting point is 00:41:47 I know it's shallow But when I hear it I'm like You know what does it for me That gives me the ick Yeah When I hear people I don't even want to do it
Starting point is 00:41:55 Because I hate it so much When people are like Sheesh Oh that one I hate it Man you must hate TikTok At the moment Oh I scroll through a lot
Starting point is 00:42:03 I scroll through a lot I think that's what it is for me. Anyway, we put it on our Instagram asking people. I told you. No, no, no. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. What? I told you one that does it for me as well. What? And then you said that's awkward because I say that in the new
Starting point is 00:42:17 season of Celebrity Treasure Island. I said to you the one that does it for me is when people go, day for it. Oh, yeah. And then you go, Kate, you're telling me this now? Six months ago I recorded a TV show when it was still cool to say that. Can't do anything about it. And you know what? I should have had hindsight, but I didn't.
Starting point is 00:42:35 And that will be Celebrity Treasure Island comes out on September 6th on TV too. September 6th, day for it. Yeah, day for it. What a day for it. September 6th. Sheesh. I hate it so much. We put this on our Instagram asking people what's the real shallow reason they got ghosted.
Starting point is 00:42:53 Right. I'm just going to read you my favourite ones. Someone said I got ghosted because apparently I farted in my sleep. Oh, yeah. I can see it doing that in early stages of a relationship. Yeah, but you know what else it does? If you can't control what gives you the ick, you can't control if someone's sleep fart gives, yeah. I can see it doing that in early stages of the relationship. Yeah, but you know what else it does? If you can't control what gives you the ick, you can't control if someone's sleep fart gives you it. You know what else
Starting point is 00:43:10 it does, though? I know when I really like someone, because if they fart in their sleep, I go, oh, that's cute. Or you lean in closer and you go, oh, like, stop it, that's cute. Oh, I like that. They fart. No? Too far? Okay, cool. I don't do that. I was doing you. Someone else said I got ghosted because I work as an essential worker in Aussie
Starting point is 00:43:28 and had to keep working. Oh, yeah, okay. That's rough. That's more than shallow. Yeah, that is rough. Someone else said, I got ghosted because I was helping out my friends too much. That's interesting, that one. It's good to get ghosted.
Starting point is 00:43:41 You know the person's insecure up front. Yeah, someone else said, I didn't respond fast enough in the middle of the night. Yeah, good time to get ghosted if that's what they're ghosting you for. You got ghosted by a stage five clinger, which doesn't usually happen. You usually get the opposite of ghosted by them. So good. Oh, my God. Listen to this one.
Starting point is 00:43:57 Someone said, the shallow reason I got ghosted is because my autocorrect changed the spelling of their name from Brad to bread. I'd take it as a compliment. Me too. All the breads out there, that's a great. Yeah, bread's a way better name. You can't control what gives you the yuck, we know that. But some of them seem a bit stupid, don't they?
Starting point is 00:44:22 Bree and Clint. I found this post on Reddit today quite relatable. I was like, this person is speaking to our collective lockdown soul when they wrote, anyone else absolutely possessed with a fierce appetite now that we're locked down? And it's like something happens, eh? It's like a switch goes where you go, I don't know if it's for comfort. I don't know if it's out of boredom.
Starting point is 00:44:44 I don't know if it's because it's a winter lockdown or what. But your body just goes, you should eat, man. Now's the time to eat. You should eat. I think it's boredom for me. For me it is. And you're in an environment which you're able to eat whenever you want. To eat whenever you want, all the time.
Starting point is 00:45:02 Stuff that you wouldn't normally be able to get at work. Yeah, right. The world is literally your oyster. Literally. The house is your pantry. It's weird, though, because I'm not saying we should be rationing because you can get it whenever you want, but if you eat yourself out of house and home,
Starting point is 00:45:17 you've got to go back to the supermarket. And what happens when you go to the supermarket? You've got to queue up. And then you're potentially in a location of interest if that supermarket gets pinged you know but don't ration it it's not what I'm saying
Starting point is 00:45:27 I'm just saying it's a weird time to be eating everything inside are you trying to make are you saying that we should starve Clint is that what you're saying we should do
Starting point is 00:45:33 absolutely not because I'm not so why would I tell you that they said can someone can people share with me their lockdown overeating stories
Starting point is 00:45:40 to make me feel better some of the responses are quite good someone wrote I made spaghetti bolognese to last two of us a few days. So that's good. You know, get a bit of meal prep in. For your reference, I used one kg
Starting point is 00:45:51 of mints. I got drunk that night. There is no spaghetti bolognese left. Yeah, nice. Solid effort. They ate a kg of spaghetti bolognese. Just the mints. Just them? Or two people. I guess two of them. It doesn't say actually.
Starting point is 00:46:07 Still a lot. It doesn't say whether the partner got a serving. That's solid. Here's a family one. A husband, myself and a four year old managed to demolish a double batch of white chocolate chip and cranberry cookies in two days. For the record that's 100 cookies. Oh my god.
Starting point is 00:46:24 It's taking all my willpower not to bake more cookies or carrot cake or caramel slice because the baking bit, you know, it's fun. It's stress relieving. It's wholesome. But then you go and eat your baking, which you should do. You shouldn't feel bad about it. But if you're baking 100 cookies at a time,
Starting point is 00:46:39 probably about portion sizes. That's a lot of cookies. Are you selling them? But you can't. No, but that's what I mean. Who are you cooking them for? In two days, I imagine the four-year-old probably had five max. That means you and your husband went through
Starting point is 00:46:51 95 cookies. How is that possible? That's so many. Last one, someone wrote, baking. Too much effing baking. Breads, cakes, pies, etc. I froze some of the pies for later. There are no pies for later.
Starting point is 00:47:08 I am the pie now. Yeah, solid. Whatever it takes, right? And also that carbonara that I made the last three days that I was meant to eat today for lunch. Yeah, it was gone yesterday. Cool. Bree and Clint.
Starting point is 00:47:23 Hey. It's my birthday. It's my birthday. Bree and Clint. Hey. It's my birthday. It's my birthday. Bree and Clint's birthday banger. I wonder if any Kylie will come up in birthday banger today. Or any Jibby Barnes. I don't think we've ever had Jibby Barnes. Oh, he's a walking glass man.
Starting point is 00:47:38 Working hard to make a living. Such a good song. Let's start with Bianca. Hello, Bianca. Hello. Hey, how are you guys? Good, mate. How are you going?
Starting point is 00:47:48 Good, thank you. That's good to hear. What's your birthday? 26 of December, 1997. Rough birthday day after Christmas. Yeah, Boxing Day. Yeah. Oh, well, I guess it's not too bad because everyone's on holiday.
Starting point is 00:48:00 Lots of good food. Yeah. Lots of good food left over for your birthday, too. Yeah, it's all leftovers always. Your cake is leftover ham with a candle in it. Yeah, I love a bit of ham.
Starting point is 00:48:12 I can't complain. I'd be keen for that. Bianca, you were 16 in 2013 and on the 26th of December in 2013 this was number one. Kasia and Pitbull. Yeah, I reckon. The dynamic duo. Do you like it?
Starting point is 00:48:35 Yeah, it's alright. I was hoping for a bit better, actually, but can't complain. It's not bad. It's a pretty fun song. It's upbeat. It's fun. Would have been fun on Boxing Day. Let's go to Deb. Hi, Deb. G'day, Deb. Hey, how's it going? Good.
Starting point is 00:48:47 How are you, Deb? Yeah, I'm doing good. That's good to hear, Deb. We're going to do your birthday, Bea. All we need is your birthday. Oh, jeez. This will be interesting. 29th of November, 1961.
Starting point is 00:48:59 Right, Deb. You were 16 in 1977. And on the 29th of November, on that day, this was top of the chart. Oh, Deb, it's the Bee Gees. Oh, flashbacks. Flashbacks. Were you a Bee Gees fan?
Starting point is 00:49:21 Oh, I didn't mind them. Probably not my favourite, but I'll go with that. Yeah, right. Well, you have to. Your birthday Probably not the favourite, but I'll go with that. Yeah, right. Well, you have to. Your birthday banger chose you, Deb. It was a bit scary. That's cool. Yeah, right.
Starting point is 00:49:31 Okay, wait there. It might win. We'll go to Reuben. Hey, Reuben. G'day, Reubs. Yeah. Hey, how are you guys? Good, man.
Starting point is 00:49:37 How are you? Oh, you're coming in with good energy. What's going on with you? Oh, you know, it's a few beers deep. Oh, yeah. Reuben. Nah, I love it, Reubs. Reuben.
Starting point is 00:49:46 Thursday, pretty much a Friday, am I right? Oh, yeah, nearly. Yeah. I mean, what day is it, really? I mean, is there even a Friday when you're in lockdown? I mean, Thursday is the Friday. Yeah, pretty much. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:58 Let's see if you've got a vibe to go with your beers, a vibe to go with your buzz. Reuben, what's your birthday? 13th of June, 1992. Ruben, you were 16 in 2008, and on the 13th of June, this was number one. Oh, Kiwi classic, Tiki Tane. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:50:23 Love it. You like it, Rubes? Absolutely love it. Yeah? I feel like you would have been happy with most songs, Ruben, at the moment. Yeah, pretty much. He was hoping for that song. Drink yourself more bliss.
Starting point is 00:50:37 I thought you were going to say, shot, shot, shot, shot, shot, shot. What's it going to be? Kesha, Bee Gees or Tiki Tane? I don't know today. Love, Bee Gees or Tiki Tane? I don't know today. Love the Bee Gees. That song's not the vibe for the moment. It's just a bit slow.
Starting point is 00:50:50 It's a bit too slow. So Kesha or Tiki Tane. I haven't heard the Tiki Tane song in ages. It's definitely not a Friday jam. I'll go with you on that. Yeah, should we do it? I also want to talk to Ruben again. Ruben, guess what?
Starting point is 00:51:03 You just won a birthday banger. Wicked. Awesome. Thanks, guys. Love it. Rububen, guess what? You just won Friday, uh, birthday banger. Wicked. Awesome. Thanks, guys. Love it. Reuben, one thing, though. We need a massive Lush goal from you. Lush goal!
Starting point is 00:51:13 You nailed it. Let's go have a glass of water, Reuben. Not tonight, Reuben. You're not coming in tonight. Bree and Clint. The winner of birthday banger for Reuben, uh, Deb, who got the Bee Gees, has stayed on the line
Starting point is 00:51:27 because Deb, I believe there's a family connection to Tikitane. Is that right? I'm the mother outlaw, as he calls me, yeah. The mother outlaw. Are you serious, Deb? What are the odds that you would be on the phone in that segment and then your son-in-law comes up. I'm like, hey, I'm happy with that.
Starting point is 00:51:48 I haven't heard him sing that for a wee while. I think the last time I was over there cooking dinner. That is crazy to me. Only in New Zealand, eh? Only in New Zealand. Oh, thanks. This is local, eh? Can you let him know that his song won
Starting point is 00:52:03 on Birthday Banger on ZM today? Sweet, is it really? Yeah, it won. We just played it. Oh, today. Sorry, I'm sorry. Right, I'm with you. Yeah, sure, well, yeah, I'll be talking to them later.
Starting point is 00:52:14 Deb, do you know what day it is? This is so funny. What day is it? Yeah. No, I've got no idea. No, no one does. No one does. That's not a problem.
Starting point is 00:52:23 No one's got any idea. We're all confused, mate. Bree and Clint. People are asking, what part of lockdown are we in currently? Well, it turns out, Bree, we're in the right romantic fan fiction about Jacinda Ardern, Ashley Bloomfield, Chris Hipkins' weird love triangle part of the lockdown. That's my favourite part of the lockdown, to be honest.
Starting point is 00:52:41 The man who has written that fan fiction and is blowing up online today, his name is Jack and he joins us on the show now. Hi, Jack. G'day, Jack. Hey, guys. How are you going? You saucy minx. What motivated you to write a romantic fan fiction about the Prime Minister
Starting point is 00:52:59 and the Minister of Health, Ashley Bloomfield? Well, to be honest, I'm a 35-year-old man and I'm writing erotic fan fiction, so it's fair to say that I have quite a bit of free time at the moment. I thought you were going to say, Jack, that it's a positive that you've hit rock bottom. No, not quite rock bottom. That's still coming.
Starting point is 00:53:23 That's still coming in the distance. Yeah, good I've just been glued to the 1pm press conference And it's like a TV show that's been going on too long The sexual tension in it, the sexual tension The will they, won't they part of it Has just inspired me to write this slutty, trashy novel That I've become internet famous for.
Starting point is 00:53:47 Jack, is this the first time that you've written a fan fiction or is this just something you're at least putting your hand to now? This is the first time, yeah. It just kind of came out of me. I'm not sure why. I write a little bit, but I just felt like I had to write this story because the world needed to hear it. I think we need to hear a little bit of it.
Starting point is 00:54:08 Will you allow me to read a passage, Jack? Is that okay? Yeah, go for it. The novel is called Blooming Desire, a romance novel featuring the Prime Minister, the Minister of Health, the Director General of Health, and Clark Gayford. It's a romance novel. Here's a romance novel. Here's a little bit of one of the pages.
Starting point is 00:54:31 No need for a 4pm press conference? Yes, Prime Minister. She did her best not to quiver with excitement. He smiled his boyish smile at her, his striking blue eyes sparkling behind his glasses. She wondered whether he enjoyed calling her Prime minister as much as she enjoyed hearing it. Thank you, Director General. He smiled roguishly.
Starting point is 00:54:52 She had fought against every fibre in her being not to call another press conference for 4pm. There was no need for a professional... There was no need and she was a professional. But on the other hand, it was an excuse to see him again. She smiled back at him, only for a moment, she bit her lower lip. I need a cool towel.
Starting point is 00:55:13 Jack, we want to pitch something to you. What the hell, Jack, are you up to, mate? What are you doing? If we were to recruit a cast of semi-professional voice actors and use a fully professional audio engineer. What are your thoughts on us producing this book up into an audio series? Yeah, that sounds pretty amazing.
Starting point is 00:55:35 I feel like that's the life goal that I've never really thought I wanted to happen. And if you guys want to do it, that sounds awesome. Jack, I feel like the wheels are already in motion. There's already auditions happening behind the scenes. Clint and I are going to make this a reality for you, I think. Do you think Bree would play an appropriate Jacinda Ardern? Oh, yeah, definitely.
Starting point is 00:55:56 Do you think I could play a good Ashley Bloomfield? Yes. And do you think Jeremy Wells might play a good Clark Gayford? That would blow my mind. Okay. I mean, me playing Jacinda, I'm keen for Jeremy to play Clark. Leave it with us, Jack. Tomorrow, here on the Brian Clint Show,
