The ZM Podcast Network.
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, Mr. Saxo Beats.
Yeah! Wanna know what it's like?
Hi everybody, welcome to the Brian Clint Podcast.
That was a weird start to the intro.
Yeah, it was so weird.
What was weird?
The sex-
Yeah, there was a bunch of things in front of me.
Don't record those things.
I have to.
No, because we need to get on the podcast ranking charts.
Yeah, cut all that shit out.
We need to pick our shit up.
We need to be more professional.
Cut that off.
I saw the podcast charts.
We're not even fucking on it.
Okay?
We're nowhere near it.
Pick your shit up.
Pick your shit up.
Pick your shit up and I'll pick my shit up.
You've just sworn like a hundred times.
The only shit I've been picking up is my dog's shit.
Well.
I picked up the biggest shit she did today.
Is this really what's going to get us on the ranker?
Yeah, absolutely.
People love this shit.
It's rankers.
You know what I hate?
I take one bag with me when we go walking and she does a poo.
Why are you taking one bag?
Well, sometimes there's only one bag left.
You know those little bag doodeckies?
I know, but sometimes there's one bag.
Anyway, she does a poo, and then I pick it up, put it in the bin,
and then she does another poo.
Yeah.
Who does two poos in the space of 20 minutes?
Babies.
Dogs.
Yeah, but it's more like just water, isn't it?
They do bum wheeze.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Chunky numbers now. They do like actual
poos. Yeah, once they move on to solids.
It's all liquid until they start eating solids.
And then when they start doing solids, you're just
changing turds.
Like actual human turds.
Sounds lovely.
You know what? I can deal with dog poo.
Can't deal with dog vomit.
And I feel like I'm the same with humans.
I could deal with baby poo. Can't deal with vomit. Baby And I feel like I'm the same with humans. I could deal with baby poo,
can't deal with vomit.
Like baby vomit's fine
because it's just milk and stuff.
But human vomit is a no-go area for me.
It's the stomach acid.
It's putrid.
It's so bad.
I can't deal with vomit.
It's terrible.
Yeah, bless the people who clean up their friends
when they have a drunken blowout.
I don't know how they do it.
Like if you have a drunken blowout and you wake up and you're clean,
you owe your friend $250.
Absolutely.
Whatever soiling fee you would have paid the Uber driver, pay your friend.
Pay them.
They deserve it.
I saw this meme on Facebook before.
This is good for the podcast charts.
People love memes.
It's really good stuff.
Yeah, not this good.
It was a meme.
Well, it wasn't a meme.
It was just more like a status.
And it said, a red flag for me is when she says she loves listening to Doja Cat.
Oh, I definitely didn't comment on that.
Did you see that?
You love listening to Doja Cat.
I like Doja Cat.
Yeah, I love Doja Cat.
I didn't say I agreed with it.
Doja Cat is a hottie
McHottie
I think whoever wrote that status is insecure
and they don't want a sexually empowered
woman in their life
They're like oh she likes Doja Cat
she must be confident
This is what I was going to ask you guys, what do you think that means?
What do you think they mean by that?
I think it's because Doja Cat
is kind of one of those artists at the moment where people are really
polarised by her.
Why? She's so
talented. Yeah, yeah.
I'm a huge fan. And she's a babe.
She'd be one of my
most listened to artists this year.
But quite a few people just
don't like her for certain reasons. I'm not a fan. I didn't get that.
Well, I guess everyone's
got their own cup of tea.
Yeah, well, that's true.
But she is 10 out of 10 for me.
Not the saying, by the way.
Yeah, I'm not very good with sayings.
She's not everyone's cup of tea.
She's not everyone's cup of tea.
She's the Pope being Catholic, right?
Someone messaged because we said that comment on today's show
and someone goes, the Pope isn't Catholic.
Oh, yeah, they said Google what religion he is Did you do it?
I tried to and I wouldn't say
I don't think he is Catholic
I think he is
He is Catholic
What the fuck are you talking about
He is God's representative on earth
What does that even mean
So he doesn't believe
What
How can he be the representative For the Catholic church representative on earth. What does that even mean? So he doesn't believe... What?
How can he be the representative for the Catholic Church but he's not Catholic?
Yeah, I don't know. I reckon they're having us on
surely.
Google doesn't be a shit in the woods.
I'm not saying that we're 100% right
but I'm confused. What does it say?
Well, I can't tell you because I've never let this go on air.
I tried to Google it and it
wouldn't really give me an answer.
Oh, this is so confusing, man.
This feels like I'm all the way back into Catholic high school.
Hold on.
Don't we all go to Catholic high school except Ben?
Yeah.
I went to a Lutheran high school.
What is Lutheran?
What religion is that?
Kind of like Catholic.
Quite similar.
Have fun in hell, Ben.
Oh, this is so confusing.
Is the Pope...
I am.
The Pope is the leader of the Roman Catholic Church
and the Bishop of Rome.
The Pope is believed...
Ben, nothing weird has been said yet.
Okay, sorry.
The Pope is believed by Catholics to be the direct successor of Saint Peter.
He was the leader
of the Apostles.
Yeah.
This is why they accept
his authority.
Other Christians
such as Protestants
do not accept
the authority of the Pope.
And then
every article I click into
maybe he isn't a religion.
No, he is.
He's the head of the Catholic Church.
I think it's because he is religion.
Yeah, that's what I was trying to say before,
but I sounded too much like a stoner.
These are very, very wordy articles.
Is that like what I say?
I don't like cheese.
I am cheese.
Like Jay-Z isn't a businessman.
He's a business, man.
Gotcha. You know? He is also just Jay-Z isn't a businessman. He's a business, man. Gotcha.
You know?
He is also just Jay-Z.
He's his own empire.
I just wanted to float something quickly
because Friday Oki is returning this week.
Is it?
And we are supposed to do,
well, we can do whatever the hell we want.
Are we going to talk about potentially doing Adele?
No, I'm never doing that song.
I don't know if it's a good idea.
That is a nightmare for everyone.
Because I think I've found it in my register.
Whose turn is it to pick?
Please tell me it's not Clint's if he's planning on picking Adele.
It's my turn to pick.
No, it's not your turn to pick.
Whose turn is it?
I'm picking now.
Because we didn't do it last week.
I'll pick.
What's the last song we did? It was a
rap song. I think you got us the super bass.
Super bass.
Yeah, I think you're right.
No, that's not easy on me.
That's dope.
Just sing a line each.
No, thanks.
Clint, start us off. Just float it. I don't know
what the first line is.
I don't know what the first line is.
I don't know.
That's fine.
There ain't no good No.
See?
In this river
I found it.
Hang on.
I've got to text him to sing it.
That I've been washing my hands in forever
See, I think I've got it.
I know there is hope
In these waters Just give me a line. Give me a line. See, I think I've got it.
Just give me a line.
Give me a line.
I don't know any of the lines.
Here it comes.
Here comes the chorus, okay?
Oh, the easiest part.
Go easy on me. See, it easiest part. Go easy on me. Go easy on me, baby.
See, it sounds nice.
Sounds horrific.
You sound good.
Yeah.
Horrific.
I didn't get the chance to feel the world around me.
This is going to do nothing for our podcast ranking.
I had no time to choose what I chose. Anyway, if you guys have got a suggestion for Friday Oaky this week, This is going to do nothing for our podcast ranking.
Anyway, if you guys have got a suggestion for Friday Okie this week,
throw it up in the podcast family.
I know what I'm going to pick next week.
Yeah?
Yeah.
Has anyone joined that podcast family secret Santa thing that's doing the rounds?
I haven't looked into it yet.
Has anybody looked at it?
What is it?
There's a secret Santa that's happening in our podcast group. Oh yeah, I want to be a part of that. How do we be
a part of it? Ben seems
trepidatious. Yeah, I don't know about that. Is it a scam?
Is it a phishing scam? I'm not sure.
No, it's not. It's a
listener of this podcast
who, she's doing it in the Fletch
Vaughan and Megan podcast group too.
And she organises where she puts
people together with another person who listens to the podcast and you buy them a gift and you get a gift from group too. Yeah. And she organises where she puts people together with another person who listens to the podcast
and you buy them a gift and you get a gift from someone else.
Oh, that's a nice idea.
I think it's a cool idea.
I want to be a part of it.
Cool.
Let's table this.
Unless we get a better suggestion, this is what we're doing.
I think we should do the song from The Anxiety.
Oh, that's a fun one too.
That's what I want to... If you don't
pick it, I'm going to pick it next week.
Alright, we'll get your suggestions in everybody
and we'll leave you with
a podcast. Enjoy it, listen to it,
rate it, subscribe to it.
There's a story about my nephew finding a big
dilly in the podcast, so

How good's a long weekend?
Oh, it's good.
Oh, it's great to be back though.
Great to be back.
Oh, I love it.
Great to be back for a short week.
Oh, how good's a short week?
Nearly as good as a long weekend.
Yeah, a long weekend.
Yeah, good long weekend.
Labor weekend.
Got the barbecue out for the first time.
Do you know labor weekend's when you're meant to start doing all that stuff?
Are you?
Traditionally, clean the barbecue, plant your tomatoes.
If you want to plant tomatoes, labor weekend is the time to plant your tomatoes.
We're planning on that.
Are you?
We've made a space in our veggie patch. What do you mean planning on it?
Labor weekend was yesterday.
Yeah, no, but, you know, we've got time. Do you, though've made a space in our veggie patch. What have you been planning on it? Labor weekend was yesterday. Yeah,
no,
but you know,
we've got time.
Do you though?
There's nothing else
to do.
Yes,
we do.
What are we busy
this weekend?
No,
Aucklanders anyway.
Man,
it was hard watching
Instagram story
over the weekend
and I just want to say
thank you to everybody
around the country
who really took it easy
with their Instagram stories.
I didn't see a lot of
people flexing their long weekend around the country that weren't
in lockdown.
You guys did a good job of just keeping that to you.
I didn't see it either because I blocked those people every single last one of years.
The only people we follow now are real negative Auckland and Waikato people who are in lockdown.
Just those people.
Everyone else, nah.
We're in a toxic circle of content.
Today on the show, we'll have two shots at ZM's Secret Sound.
It's worth $20,000.
And if you can tell us what this noise right here is,
you can win it at 4 o'clock or 5 o'clock.
Can't wait to get back into that.
I've missed Secret Sound.
I hope the guesses are just as good starting this week, though,
because I feel like... They've been good.
They've been really good but this
is where they need to be great.
So I'm confident.
I reckon people have got this in the bag. But right
now we've got $50 all thanks to KFC.

Moving on.
What are you going to talk about now?
What's the group that's named after anxiety?
The Anxiety.
You do the Anxiety Dance.
It's hardly a dance.
Yeah, well, it gave me anxiety Watching you do it
I want to talk about
I want to talk about those knives
That we all got this time last year
Remember the sharpest knives
The world has ever seen
The New World Smeg knives?
Yeah
Did you get any?
Did you get any Smeg knives?
Nah
Didn't you?
Because I figured out
That I could probably just go buy some
Yeah you could
But where's the fun in that?
I think I'd already bought a new set of knives
right around the time it was blowing up.
Yeah, right.
Well, ACC have released figures on how many New Zealanders
did themselves a whoopsie with those New World Smig knives
that we got in the last year.
Yeah, they should put a warning on those things.
I got the whole set and goddamn, they are sharp.
Wait a minute.
How did you get the whole set?
They were like super hard to get.
Well, we've got a family of four.
I've got to buy a lot of groceries.
Did you collect all of those knives or did you get a sneaky deal on the side
because you are like the face of New World?
I got.
You got them for free.
You got them for free.
You didn't go out there and collect all the tickets like us
bloody peasants. I got
three of them for free. So I did
get a head start. Was it the three hardest
ones? Because there was particularly two really
hard ones. Yeah, it was
pretty hard ones. But I collected the rest.
But you know what I did? I ran a
car towel with my mother-in-law who has
good knives already. So I got all her
New World stickers as well. That's the way you're going to do it.
Oh because you already had all the knives? Yeah.
Anyway, anyway, anyway.
The ACC have released stats on
how many people have done themselves an accident
with the knives because they were very sharp.
Very good knives and I don't just say that as the
face of New World as Bree said.
In the last 12 months.
Get them on sale right now at New World.
Nah, it should be different this year.
80 people have claimed ACC for smeg knife injuries,
which you might go, oh, that's a lot.
But did you know New World gave out 1.2 million smeg knives last year?
That's crazy.
That's mental.
That's so many knives.
Yeah.
We're going to have a whole generation of New Zealanders
who have those knives in their houses.
You know how there's this certain type of like plates and cups
that every family has?
It'll be those smeg knives.
It'll be smeg knives now.
I'm interested, is that individual knives or actual full knife blocks?
Individual, 1.2 million individual knives.
Because I was going to say, that's nearly a knife block for...
Every New Zealander.
Every New Zealand household.
They should do smeg knives with your vaccination.
That would get some of the numbers up there.
Oh, I'd sign up.
If you work it out though,
80 ACC claims is pretty good.
That's one ACC accident
per 15,000 knives.
Oh yeah? Not too bad, eh?
I mean, people probably have accidents
with knives all the time. Well, I'm glad
you said that because I've got some bonus knife
stats for you. Over the last
three years, ACC has
received 11,750
claims
for knife injuries
to men and
7,500
women knife injuries.
Jeez. So the men are much
more clumsy with the knives. Or women
are just better at it, you know? Well, maybe they
get in the kitchen a little bit more.
You can't say that.
Who does the cooking in your household?
My wife really appreciates this, Meg Knights.
Who does the cooking?
You haven't been in your kitchen since 2009.
Oh, I made us pies in the air fryer for lunch today.
Thank you very much.
How many knives did you use making the pies?
Let's take some calls on kitchen injuries today.
Yes. 80 claims on ACC.
Big whoop dog. I want to know
the worst injury you've done yourself
in the kitchen. We're talking chops, burns.
Graters.
Graters are some
of the worst things to
injure yourself on. Did you drop a full jar
of pickles on your big toe and
break your foot? That is not the injury
I was thinking of, but yes, we'll take it.
Any injuries that happen in the kitchen, we want to hear about them this afternoon.
0800 dials at M or you can text them to us on 9696.
Take smeg injuries too if you've got them.
Yeah, did you take an injury with these smeg knives that we're talking about?
Bree and Clint.
But first, we're talking kitchen injuries.
80 New Zealanders have managed to do some damage to themselves
with those smeg knives that we all collected at Christmas time.
I don't like that sound and then thinking about the injuries.
I had to put my knives in the dishwasher for a bit just to get them to go blunt.
You're not supposed to do that, but I was like,
sorry, this is too much power for me.
Are you not meant to put them in the dishwasher?
Not good knives, no.
Probably why I have to sharpen mine so often.
But it is convenient.
Some of these texts have been hard to
read. I think we've filtered.
Yeah, I don't know. I can't read. Some of them are
so grim. We're talking kitchen
injuries, okay? And I'm sure we're going to be okay.
Briar's here. Hi, Briar. Hi, Briar.
Hey, how you doing? What happened to you,
mate, in the kitchen? I was
using a stick whiz to mix up some icing for a cake
and I needed to unclog it because it all clogged up with the icing.
And as I was trying to dig it out,
I accidentally pressed the on button and it hacked into my finger.
Briar!
Oh, no!
What are you doing clearing it with your finger
while it's still plugged into the wall?
She's on the...
She's a badass.
I had to do it quick.
I had to try and get it.
I don't even know.
You know how much that triggers me?
Because I literally used one of those last night
to make a milkshake.
Oh, my God.
Right, do you still have your finger, Briar?
Is it still intact?
Yes, it absolutely is.
It only actually left me with a small cut on my finger,
but it hacked into my acrylic nail that I had on at the time,
so not a lot of damage.
Oh, you got saved by an acrylic nail.
See?
They are good for something.
Yeah, right.
I reckon it did stop going right through the end of her finger.
Absolutely it would have.
Those acrylic nails are literally harder than bone.
Sarah's here.
Hi, Sarah.
Hi, Sarah.
Hiya.
Hi, guys.
What happened to you in the kitchen?
When I was pregnant with my first child,
you know how like, well,
when you've got a big belly out the front,
you kind of think you can fit in spaces you can't.
You know, you didn't used to be able to fit in.
Yeah.
So I was bending over the oven
and I managed to burn my belly on the oven door. managed to burn my belly On the oven door
You burnt your pregnant belly on the oven door
Yeah, yeah, yeah
It was pretty sore at the time
No!
You literally had a bun in the oven
For a second
Literally
I get that
Because you're not used to having a big puku out there, right?
So you don't know the dynamics and the physics of what you can and can't do, right?
Yeah, absolutely.
This happens to me after I eat a big meal.
Same.
I'm always like, how do I get around?
It happens to Bree when she's trying to go to the bathroom after having dairy.
Just go through the doorway sideways.
That was this weekend.
It wasn't good.
Finally, Kim's here.
Hi, Kim.
G'day, Kim.
Hey, guys.
How's it going?
Good thanks
What kitchen injury
Did you have?
Oh I had
I was making guacamole
And a very very sharp knife
And avocado
Oh you got avocado hands
Did you go to get the seed out
And you flicked the knife
Into the seed
And is that what
Is that what happened?
Pretty much
So what happened
It went through
And in between my ring and middle finger,
so I ended up getting surgery for it.
How bad was it, Kim?
Oh, 23 stitches.
So I damaged my croneys.
23 stitches.
Did you cut through the webbing of your hand?
In between, yeah, sort of roughly there.
So the tip of the blade went through the other side of my middle finger
and the side of the blade went in my middle finger.
Like, yeah, in between.
Have you ever seen that picture where someone's holding an avocado
and the knife's going straight through the avocado into the person's hand?
Is that you?
Yeah, that was me.
Guilty.
Were you tempted?
I know you were probably in a lot of pain,
but were you tempted after this avocado injury to just say,
holy guacamole?
No, not quite.
Well, I mean, you had one opportunity.
I'm very wary about avocados at home now.
Do you still, like, do the avocados?
No.
I mean, yes, I do, but in a very different way.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
She cuts them sideways.

Brian Clint from iHeart Radio. This Latest, live from LA with Dean McCarthy.
Dean, this story has been unfolding over the past however many days.
It's horrific and it involves Alec Baldwin.
What's the latest on the accidental shooting on the movie set he was on?
Yeah, it's absolutely horrific, isn't it?
So it's really every single day.
In fact, just moments ago, there's been another update as well.
So just for anyone who's missed the story, the quick summary,
shooting a new movie called Rust in New Mexico,
Alec Baldwin fired a prop gun, okay, it was a prop gun,
and he actually had one live round in the gun.
And since that happened, it killed the cinematographer, she died,
and then another person on the set was injured
as well. So basically what
we've learned in the day
since it's happened is a few things. One of
the things we learned, which is horrific, is the prop
gun had been used
in the days leading up to
as like a recreational gun
shooting, we don't really know what, but probably
animals or even some type of
target and that was actually being used with live ammunition. So that's probably how that actual bullet got shooting, we don't really know what, but probably animals or even some type of target.
And that was actually being used with live ammunition. So that's probably how that actual bullet got in there.
We also found out that the crew member who gave Baldwin the firearm
was actually fired from a past job over a prop gun accident.
So that's one thing.
And another thing, there were all of these people who were actually going to quit the shoot,
this rust shoot.
Some of them walked off set and they were replaced with other crew members due to the safety,
different safety things being ignored on set.
Some of them were under the conditions they were working under were really horrific.
So as this has happened, we're now finding out that the set itself is a bit of a mess.
And I guess somehow this horrific incident has occurred.
This whole thing is mind-blowing that it can even happen.
The bit that gets me is that they use real guns on these movies.
I don't understand why real guns are being used in movies. Surely they would just use, if it's a prop gun, why don't you have a prop?
Well, even if it's a, you know, why is there a live round? Why is, do they not have enough money that they can just be a prop gun
and not be used for recreational use?
I remember back in 2017, there was a similar,
very similar situation that unfolded on the set of a music video clip
for an Aussie hip-hop group called Bliss and Esso.
And they were filming this music clip and similar thing.
They had prop guns and one of them had a real round in it
and someone got shot dead on the set of that video clip.
Wow.
Terrifying.
Yeah.
I mean, how do these accidents happen?
Yeah, well, that's what they're going to have to find out.
Here's the thing.
There's two other extra things.
To answer the question, it totally shouldn't happen. Yeah, well, that's what they're going to have to find out. Here's the thing. There's two other extra things. To answer the question, it totally
shouldn't happen. And there's an actual
prop firearm union in
America, and they were not on set.
And they're supposed to be on set when there's
a firearm on set. And right before he
shot, I am told that
it was yelled out, cold gun.
So it's like people in the production yell out
cold gun, like as the final reminder
that, I know that sounds completely mind-blowing to actually yell that out, cold gun, like as the final reminder that,
I know that sounds completely mind-blowing,
they actually yelled that out,
but that was what was yelled right before he actually shot the round.
Which means a cold gun means it's not live.
Exactly, exactly.
Yeah, right.
I can't even imagine how Alec Baldwin.
Well, there's photos.
You know.
Yeah, he looks absolutely distraught.
I mean, not to mention the poor victim's family and all of her loved ones.
I can't even imagine.
But also Alec Baldwin, who just has to now deal with this horrific thing moving forward in his life.
That is the latest on the Alec Baldwin shooting with our Hollywood correspondent, Dean McCarthy.
Brie and Clint.
Brie, if I told you there was a job you could do where you'd make a hundred
thousand dollars and you didn't
have to go to work,
you'd be keen, right?
Yes. Is the Pope Catholic?
I think so. I think he's still
Catholic. He thought about
changing for a little while
there, but he thought, nah, I'm going to stick to it.
He was going to change and then he saw Brian
Tamaki and he was like, ugh, I might stick with the one I've got.
Nah, I might just stay. It's kind of misleading.
There's a guy called Jack Hammond from
Wellington who is trying to earn $100,000
a year
driving for Uber Eats.
Yeah, I have thought about this from time
to time. Everyone does. How much
the Uber Eats delivery people
earn and if I could do it.
It's quite a big ask.
He's documenting the whole thing for TikTok.
Have a listen.
This week, I'm going to be trying to make $2,000 in a week working for Uber Eats.
I figured out if I was going to reach my goal of earning $2,000 in a week,
I need to be earning about $285 a day, which is over a six-figure income.
And on day one, I've made $302.83.
And including tips, my total hourly income today was around $35 an hour,
which I am stoked with considering I did the shift on a Monday.
I mean, he talks very fast, but it sounds quite good so far, doesn't it?
I can just imagine how long he had to work for, though.
That's the problem, and that's what I'm wondering.
Is he Uber Eats-ing around the clock?
Is he living on Red Bull?
So we've got a real-life Uber Eats driver on the phone,
former ZM-er herself.
Welcome to the show, Jordan.
Hi, Jordan.
Hey, Jordan.
Hi, guys.
Just a disclosure, she didn't quit radio to become an Uber Eats driver.
It's a side hustle.
And also, Jordan, I never received my order
that I saw you were dropping off last weekend.
So where is it?
Go.
Hey, how much do you actually make as an Uber Eats driver?
Okay, well, I'm a little bit nerdy
And I keep a spreadsheet
Just, you know, come tax time
I need to make sure I've got all my ducks in a row
So I can actually tell you
I've got it up here in front of me
Okay
Love it
Well, actually, my best day
Which is probably no surprise
Was New Year's Day this year
And I made $366 in six hours
Whoa Whoa, okay So that's over $50 an hour day this year and I made $366 in six hours. Whoa.
Whoa.
Okay.
So that's over 50 bucks an hour, but you did have to be sober enough to drive on New Year's Day.
Yeah.
So you win some, you lose some.
So that's obviously a good day.
What would you make on just like if you drove Uber Eats on a regular Friday night after
your regular job, how much money do you make driving Uber Eats?
So if I drove on a Friday night, which is actually probably the best day of the weekend,
FYI, I probably drive for anywhere from two to four hours and I could make about 80 bucks,
which is really good.
Yeah, yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
But that's not including the petrol that you have to spend and wear and tear on your car,
right?
No, it's not.
So I kind of factor all of that in
um as well as obviously like i said the tax but yeah so i just put petrol in my car at the start
of the shift and then i'll just go off that so yeah it's not including petrol but it's still
pretty good yeah right jordan drives a very fuel economic uh suzuki swift by the way yeah best car
one of the best cars to use when you're Uber Eats driving.
Jordan, I want to know the real question.
Let's get down to the real kind of underbelly of Uber Eats driving.
How many times have you eaten a chip?
Well, okay, kind of a funny story.
I haven't actually eaten any food from someone's order.
One time someone put the wrong address in,
and so I spent about an hour trying to find their house,
and then Uber Eats were just like, you just keep the food.
And it was at the point, though, where I was like, I don't even want this.
I'm leaving ZM.
I'm going to do Uber Eats driving and just pray that people put in.
Old, cold food.
It would be that old.
An hour old.
Sign me up.
There you go.
That's our professional Uber Eats driver, Jordan,
with the scoop on how much you can make.
Long way off $100,000, but not a bad side hustle.
Thanks, Jordan.
See you, Jordan.
Bye.
I'll see you this weekend, eh?
You know my address.
Bree and Clint.
ZM's $50,000 secret sound.
Season 10.
We're at 20 grand.
20 grams.
20 grams.
We're at 20 grams.
And there was a clue drop today.
Oh, we're on a grand day.
Soundkeeper Ella's with us.
Hi, Ella.
Hi, Ella. Hello. How are you guys? How was's with us. Hi, Ella. Hi, Ella.
Hello.
How are you guys?
How was your long weekend?
Yes, great.
It was nice to walk on the beach in the rain.
Oh, delightful.
Lovely.
How do you know you've been in Auckland lockdown too long, eh?
That's what you think is nice.
I'm looking at this clue that got dropped today, Sunky Baella.
Very complex, but I'm just looking through the comments on the ZM's Secret Sound Instagram page and people are saying if you just bang that straight into Google, it's going to give you what that clue means.
What?
I need to do this right now.
Oh, you're not going to let us know if that's how you work it out?
Of course not, Clint.
If that's what you want to do, then you do that.
Oh, so secretive.
Well, someone's here to give it a go with or without that clue.
Please welcome to the show, Nicole.
Hi, Nicole.
Hi, Nicole.
Hi.
Does the clue make sense to you, the clue number five that came out today?
Not at all.
No, right.
You've got to bang it into Google, I think.
Yeah, I tried that, but nothing came up.
Oh, okay.
It starts with GB, good bitch.
Nicole, what do you think this here is?
This sound that you're about to hear.
It's worth $20,000.
What's the secret sound?
I reckon it's the agitator of a washing machine,
like moving back and forth kind of thing.
Another great guess.
Let's hear it one more time.
Yeah, hang on.
Let me simulate a load of washing on. Hang on.
Yeah, I can hear
that for sure. I mean, I think
your washing machine needs new bearings,
but it could be right. Let's chuck you in.
Soundy
umbrella. Nicole, let's
just hear your guess one more time. Let's confirm
it, please.
An agitator
washing machine thingy moving back and forth.
Yeah.
Cool, we'll lock that in.
How confident are you, Nicole?
I don't know, to be honest.
That's okay.
Come on, be confident, Nicole.
This is a $20,000 guess.
You might as well be confident.
You've submitted it now.
You've got to stand behind it.
You've got nothing to lose.
Okay, let's be confident.
Let's do this.
Yeah, visualise yourself winning the money, Nicole.
And buying a jet ski.
Or a new washing machine.
Yeah.
Well, Nicole.
Oh.
Hmm.
That is not the secret sound.
Sorry to make you visualise winning it.
Yeah.
No, that's okay.
Really ripped the secret sound rug out from under you there,
didn't we, Nicole?
Oh, that's okay.
Every shot's worth it.
Totally.
Now the news, I think I've figured out the clue.
Have you?
I think I have.
Should I?
Well, you can say what you think it means.
Well, I'll say what I think it means.
Yeah, go on then. So I typed in, so the say what you think it means. Well, I'll say what I think it means. Yeah, go on then.
So I typed in, so the new clue on the Secret Sound Instagram
says GB-UM7-14-03920.
So I just put that in.
Yeah.
And it came up with Sam Smith, I'm not the only one.
Yeah.
Like some articles about it.
Okay.
I don't even know why.
Anyway, so then I took that and I typed in Sam Smith,
I'm not the only one, looked at YouTube because then underneath
that number is 209.
Right.
So then I went to 209 on the video clip.
Jeez, I've been busy in this last break.
You've done all this in the last 45 seconds.
I was not listening to what was going on.
Anyway, it's a kissing scene.
Right. Okay. On that going on. Anyway, it's a kissing scene. Right, okay.
On that film clip.
Yeah, right.
But it could be nothing.
Nicole, does that help you with any future guesses?
I mean, I'll give it a go.
I'll look into it more.
It's a pretty saucy kissing scene, Nicole,
even if you just go look at it for that.
Yeah, if someone wants to call up at five o'clock and submit Sam Smith kissing,
maybe they're going
to win the ZM
Secret Sound.
How does that sound,
Sunky Borella?
I mean, who knows?
Someone can guess that.
That'd be a fun guess.
I'm not going to say
anything.
All the details
in that clip as well.
Oh, I've got you, Ella.
I've got you
where I want you.
They're up on the
ZM Secret Sound
Instagram page.
You can go and
see them there.
We'll see you for
another guess at
five o'clock, Ella.
See ya.
Bye, Ella.
See ya.
Bree and Clint. ZM Bree and Clint them there. We'll see you for another guest at 5 o'clock. Ella, see ya. Bye, Ella. See ya. Bree and Clint.
ZM Bree and Clint.
It's Kygo Whitney Houston. I've just witnessed
Bree in that, what, 3 minutes and
39 seconds go the whole
gamut of secret sound emotion.
She went from figuring out the clue
to completely figuring
out the sound to then tempering
her guest with, oh, no, I'll broaden it out a bit.
No.
And then coming back to she's gone all the way through to accept it.
She's like, I have no idea what the sound is.
It's finally got me.
I've got the secret sound fever.
Well, I think you've done a good job figuring out that clue.
I reckon I'm right.
And getting to that bit of the Sam Smith song.
But I think you need to probably watch not just like two minutes and nine
seconds. I think it might be somewhere in
Surely that's the starting point of what you need
to watch. Yeah, I reckon. If you want
the code which is going to help you find
that Sam Smith video, if
that's what the clue even is, that's just what we
think it might be. That's what comes up when you type in
those letters and numbers.
Search up ZM
Secret Sound on Instagram in the
code along with all the other guesses
are up there for ZM Secret Sound
which is 20 grand and is up again at 5 o'clock
today. Hey Ella,
I'm coming for you.
She's gone. She's not listening to you.
She knows. She'd be listening.
She does a good job of not seeming scared.
You were saying to her during the song
you were like,
listen to me, soundkeeper.
Guillotining her. I was like, you listen to me.
I'm going to get you.
Someone needs to. Five o'clock,
your next activator for the secret sound. Thanks to Neon.
We had a weird
conversation a couple of weeks ago,
and I can't remember exactly
what we were talking about at the time,
but pretty much off the back of it we started talking about
what is the number or numbers that you have memorised in your head
because there's not hardly any that you memorise anymore.
I think it came up because Anastasia told us
her parents have still got a landline.
So her childhood landline phone number is still worth remembering.
Yeah, what's the number, Anastasia, if you think you know it?
Go on.
I can't say it.
Oh, so now you're saying you don't know it.
No, Tina, 03-
Yeah, right, okay.
Don't disclose your parents' phone number.
If you know the dial tones, you'll understand that one.
And you said you'd memorised your mum's credit card number too.
What was that?
No, Bree, that's dad's.
Oh, sorry, your dad's credit.
Hi, Marty.
How are you, Marty?
Everybody has their childhood landline burnt into their brain,
but for most of us it's wasted space now
because our parents have cut off the landline.
My parents' landline is gone, my childhood landline.
When was it?
Well, I'm pretty sure it's gone.
Should we just dial it quickly just to check?
Hang on.
Yeah.
Hang on, hang on.
They moved.
Welcome to Spark.
The number you've got.
348-2272.
I'm pretty sure my parents cut theirs off too.
Go and try it.
What is it?
Yeah, well, it'd be the area code 0746853201.
Bullish from you if they haven't cut it off.
Imagine if my mum answers.
Mum, you're going to get a few calls in the next,
just thought I'd give you a heads up.
Doesn't look like it's going to.
It's gone.
It's gone. It's gone.
But obviously, it's always interesting because I always think
if I'm in a really, you know, big emergency where I've lost my phone,
I've lost everything, you need to know what do you think
is the safe amount of numbers.
You need an emergency contact stored in your brain.
Yeah.
And if you're young, it should be your parents. And if you're
older, it should be your partner, if you've got
one, I guess. Yeah, see, I've got no idea about my
partner's. Do you know your current partner's cell phone number?
No. Me neither. Not a clue.
I don't know my wife's cell phone number. That's
crazy to me. But
you go, ooh, you, that's so
bad, Clint.
Why would I know it? It's in my phone.
Because it's your emergency contact. Yeah, I call her out of my phone. Yeah, but what if would I know it? It's in my phone. Because it's your emergency contact.
Yeah, I call her out of my phone.
Yeah, but what if you lose your phone in an emergency?
Well, there's been once or twice in my life where that has occurred
and my phone's gone flat.
I've had to call my best friend from school,
whose phone number I do remember,
and get him to Facebook message my wife and tell her what the deal is.
That poor guy.
Does he really want to be cleaning up your dirty work for the rest of his life?
Adam, boy, he shouldn't have made his number so memorable then.
Poor Adam.
The only number that I know is obviously my own,
which isn't going to help me in an emergency.
No.
And my mum's cell phone number.
Yeah, right.
She's not even in the country.
No. I know. So that's not even in the country No So
I know
So
That's not great is it
Like I'm pretty sure
Yeah my mum's cell phone number
Is 0407377
I've given it out before
I'll do it again
Producer Ben
How many phone numbers
Have you got stored in your brain
My
Same as you guys
My parents old home phone
Is it still active
Nah Nah No good Yeah My mum's cell phone My cell phone My, same as you guys, my parents' old home phone. Is it still active? Nah.
No, no good.
My mum's cell phone.
My cell phone.
And like two girlfriends ago's cell phone.
Wait, two girlfriends ago you got that cell phone number?
Oh my God.
Stuck in my head, yeah.
Did you tell your one girlfriend previous that you knew your two girlfriends previous cell phone number?
No.
I wouldn't.
In an emergency you get stuck with your current girlfriend
and they're like, quick, call someone.
And you're like, well, I can only call one person.
I forgot, there's one other phone number that I know.
It's the Pizza Hut phone number.
Oh, good.
Oh, 800-838383.
And they're always super helpful.
They'd be good in an emergency, wouldn't they?
So at Pizza Hut, do you know my wife's phone number?
She's ordered from you before.
I wonder if they could look it up if you needed to.
They probably could.
Go into the database.
If it was an emergency.
I am interested to know about people listening,
what numbers do you have memorised?
And who is it?
Whose number and why?
Like, yours, your primary school friend, Adam.
Yeah, yeah.
He's still my best friend, so it's still useful.
Okay, well, that's not as fun.
Still good.
Yeah, still useful.
I want to know, 0800DIALZM, maybe it's our number, 0800DIALZM.
Word numbers don't count.
Nah, they don't.
No, they don't.
But, yeah, we want to know know what numbers do you have memorised?
You can text us also on 9696.
We want to know from you guys,
what phone numbers have you got seared into your brain?
They might not be useful anymore,
but as people we just don't remember phone numbers anymore.
I remember one other that I know.
It's my other best friend from school,
Kellen, his home phone number
Yeah, what's his number?
I think his mum still uses it
Let's try and ring it
No
Why not?
I haven't talked to his mum in years
Hi Mrs Gooch, you're on the radio
Yeah, fair enough
We won't
We want to know what's taking up space in your brain
Or what really useful numbers have you got?
Like, do you not even need the phone book in your phone?
Polly's here.
Hi, Polly.
Hi, Polly.
Hello, how are you?
Good, thanks.
Polly, what numbers do you have memorised?
Well, it was actually, I didn't know any numbers,
and it was in a situation where I really needed to.
Oh, no, what happened?
Okay, so I was going for a surf one day and i ended up
locking my phone and everything in the car and i was just outside my car in a wet suit in the rain
and i mean well well dressed for the rain really well dressed for the occasion and then a really
lovely man handed me his phone and i didn't know any numbers so i had to stand in the rain by
myself for about two hours until someone helped me break into my car wait you couldn't use his phone and I didn't know any numbers. So I had to stand in the rain by myself for about two hours
until someone helped me break into my car.
Wait, you couldn't use his phone so he just left?
He was like, oh, well.
He kind of was like, oh, no.
And then he was going to help me break into my car.
I had a rock in hand.
And then this man yells at me behind me and goes,
what are you doing?
And then he helps me break into my car in a not so breakable way.
Well, what if the guy was helping you break into someone else's car
and he thought, you know, he didn't know it was your car?
So since that happened, have you gone on to memorise a phone number for safety?
Yes, yes, I have.
I know my parents properly now.
Okay, what's your parents' number?
Oh, should I say that?
No, that was a test.
That was a test.
Good, you passed, Polly.
I passed.
Polly didn't really pass.
She was about to say it.
Should I say it?
Why not?
I mean, what could happen?
It was a very good thing that happened because now I know
for the next time I get stuck out of my car.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And I mean, it could have been a worse situation, you know.
I mean, that one was pretty crap, but it could have been worse.
Oh, thank God for the wet suit.
She could have been naked.
Amy's here. Hi, Amy. Hi. Amy, but could have been worse. Oh, thank God for the wit. She could have been naked. Amy's here.
Hi, Amy.
Hi.
Amy, whose number do you have memorized?
I've got my mum's cell phone number, her home phone number,
my dad's cell phone number, my stepdad's cell phone number,
my sister's cell phone number, and my partner's cell phone number.
What?
Wow.
How, Amy?
I think I just had to maybe just had to call them several times.
Do you have a photographic memory?
Are you like Mike from Suits?
That's amazing.
Yeah, I don't know.
I just thought there was no more.
Because I have this theory that the human brain can't,
cell phones are too long for the human brain to remember.
You know what's so interesting?
Whereas seven-digit home phone numbers were perfect for us
because they've got a cadence and a rhythm that we
can work out but cell phone numbers don't.
I looked this up and it says the average person
can hold a set of about
seven digits in their working
memory at any given time. Yeah, perfect.
Yeah, so seven digits is like
usually the amount. But cell phone numbers are upwards of
ten now so it just doesn't work. Yeah, which is super
long. Let's talk to
Cherie. Cherie or Cherie?
Cherie. Hi, Cherie.
Hi. Whose phone numbers have you got
up there in your big old mind cave?
Well, I haven't lived in this place
for almost 10 years,
but I've memorized the numbers of
the two takeaway
places that I used to go to.
I love that, Cherie.
Give them a shout out.
Cafe Express
and Fastlane in Wairu.
And what were their numbers?
Because I'm quite hungry, actually.
I can say
them. They're a business.
3876-738
and 3876-778.
That's amazing.
I also remember, I remember heaps.
I remember my partners, my mums, my dads, heaps of landlines.
I was going to say, Cherie, because that's good that you know others
because it'd be quite weird calling up the takeaway place and saying,
you need to get me to the hospital, I'm pregnant.
I know.
I've got an emergency.
I'm having a baby.
I don't live there anymore,
but I used to order
Your chicken and brie sandwiches
Every weekend
Please help me
My water's broke
Thanks Sheree
Good to talk to you
Brie and Clint
Now we're going to play
The name game
I was thinking of
Sarah Michelle Gellar
Yeah we got there eventually
Who pays Buffy
On the vampire slave
I thought you were thinking of like Ross Geller.
Yeah, no.
And then his secret sister that he didn't have.
It was Sarah Michelle Geller.
And why is her middle name in her full name?
Well, you ended up going with Sarah Jessica Parker, so.
Yeah.
But, oh yeah, true.
She's the same.
In this game, you just got to name famous people
who have the name that I give you as part of their name.
The person taking you on is Simon.
G'day, Simon.
G'day, Simon.
Bridges.
How's it going?
Yeah, Bridges would do it.
I just played with your name, Simon.
Simon, have you got a good celebrity knowledge to take Bree on?
She's undefeated in this game.
I'm pretty sure I do, yeah.
I'll give it a go.
Okay.
Our safety blanket, her name is Anastasia.
So if you say one, another person contests it and goes,
they're not famous.
If Anastasia knows who they are, then it counts as famous.
All right.
Okay?
Okay.
Don't buzz in with your name.
Don't wait.
Just go for it.
If you think you know an answer, just yell out that answer.
First to three wins the game.
Here we go, guys.
Give me a celebrity who uses the name Kelly.
Slater.
Roland.
Oh, Bree.
What was your one, Simon?
Roland.
Yeah, that's a good one too.
Yeah, that's a good one too, yeah.
No, I have to give it to Kelly Slater, the surfer.
One to Bree.
Give me a celebrity who uses the name Peter.
Belling.
Oh.
Yep.
That's good.
I had Jackson or Peter, Peter Pumpkin Eater.
Griffin.
Peter Griffin would do it, too, yeah?
I was going to go with Parker.
Peter Parker, yeah?
Oh, yeah, Peter Parker.
See, I'd accept that.
I know he's a fictional character, but I think we'd have to take that.
Okay, so we accept those ones.
Yeah, well, I would have that time.
Okay.
Brie, you can win the game here.
Simon, you need to get one on the board, okay, man?
All right.
What's your area of specialty?
Like, what do you enjoy?
Movies?
Like, what genre of movies?
Yeah, movies.
Marvel movies.
Marvel movies, okay.
Yeah.
Give me a...
Ben.
An M?
Yeah, Ben.
McDowell?
No, not... Anastasia knows who he is.
No, that doesn't count.
It's our producer.
Producer.
It's a loophole.
You're not going to give me a Ben, Simon?
Affleck.
Oh, Ben Stiller.
Yeah.
I was thinking you might do Affleck, but yeah.
Although he's DC, isn't he?
God, get with the game.
That's it.
You lose and Bree wins.
Sorry, Simon.
All right.
No worries.
We'll send you the 50 bucks anyway, though.
Yeah, go on.
You're a good sport, Simon.
You get the prize, but not the title, okay?
No worries.
That sounds good to me.
Easy peasy.
No worries, Simon.
Thanks for playing.
50 KFC chicken dollars coming your way,
and that's the name game.
Still undefeated, huh?
What's the name?
The name game.
What's the name of the game, though?
Name game.
But, yeah, but what is the name of the game?
Don't turn my shit gag back on me.
Brian Clint.
See you this end.
Brian Clint.
I talked to my mum yesterday.
Sorry, this story's already making me laugh.
It's truly unbelievable. I talked to my mum yesterday. Sorry, this story is already making me laugh. It's truly unbelievable.
I talked to my mum yesterday and she told me a story
that I was struggling to believe until she sent me photo evidence.
Okay.
So she calls me up yesterday and she's like,
oh, my parents live on a property.
They live in country Queensland and I have a sister and a brother, but I have
a sister who recently had a baby a couple of years ago. So I've got a beautiful nephew.
His name's Jonty. Got it. Yeah. Anyway, my mum said, oh, you wouldn't believe what Jonty
found up in the paddock today. Okay. And I said, okay, so they're in Australia. My mind went to he's found snake, spider, an echidna.
Iron ore.
A koala.
Yeah, gold nugget.
Could have been gold.
Yeah, yeah, some kind of mineral.
Yeah, so I started rattling off all these things that he potentially,
and my mind went to did he find a cow poo or, you know,
what else could a two-year-old kid up in the paddock find?
That would be so interesting.
Yeah, exactly.
My mum was like trying not to laugh about it and I was like, okay.
Anyway, she said he was up in the paddock with my sister,
obviously with his mum, and she took her eyes off him
for like two seconds and she turns around
and he's there standing holding something.
And apparently my little nephew has found a big black dildo.
I was going to say sex toy, but I was like, nah, shit joke.
Oh, my God, that's a real life.
Wow, he's got a big black donger.
Yep.
Why is your big black donger in your parents' field?
So, funny story, I am kind of involved in the reason
as to why he would have found this in the back.
Is it your big black donger?
Not really.
Right.
So a couple of years ago, I'm going to say three years ago now
or three and a half years ago, my sister had a bachelorette party.
Right, okay.
And we thought it would be a funny idea to do an adult pass the parcel
with the main prize being a big black dildo.
Yeah, right.
Anyway, so that was at the bachelorette party, right?
But fast forward to the wedding and there's video evidence of this.
The morning of my sister's wedding, we were all in her house getting
our make-up done.
You know, it's a really nice kind of morning, special morning,
and I've found this dildo and I decided I'd pull it out
and I started chasing people with it on the morning of my sister's wedding.
Yeah, classic.
Yeah, good stuff.
But fast forward to the reception where they actually had the reception
on my parents' property near my sister's house underneath these big amazing trees in a tent, right?
And I think it was me at one point I've grabbed this thing
from the house and I've thrown it across the reception
at my sister's wedding and I've knocked my cousin
in the head with it.
And then my last memory was he was running around chasing people
with it at my sister's wedding.
And somehow it's obviously gotten lost.
There it has laid for the last three years.
It has laid for three years.
And my little nephew, Jonte, has uncovered this.
So does your mum know that that's why there's a big black donger
in the field?
Well, I thought we should call her and confront her about this because, I mean, you know,
not ideal that my little nephew
is finding these kind of things in the paddock.
Yeah, producer Ben is just trying to connect the call
to your mum at the moment.
Let's see if she comes clean.
You ask her.
You ask her about it and see if she tells you.
Is that mum-a-die?
Hello.
How are you?
Yeah, good.
Brian Clint.
Look, I just wanted to check.
There's rumours going around that your grandson is finding big black dongers in the paddock.
And it's your property.
So property law dictates that it's your big black donger.
Is there any truth to that?
It's not mine.
I do not claim it one bit.
Are you excited to receive your property back, Mum?
Brianna, really?
I actually want to know because this is a true story.
He found it in the yard.
Do you let him have it?
Yeah, what do you do with it?
Of course we don't let him have it. There's no batteries in it.
No, she's like, that one came home with me.
Thank you very much.
No, no.
It's out in the yard and it's absolutely weathered to the whatever.
Slytherins. Otherwise you would have taken it back, wouldn't you? Yeah, yeah it's absolutely weathered to the whatever. Smear the rain.
Otherwise, you would have taken it back, wouldn't you?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, come on.
Well, good to know.
Okay, there you go.
Is there no batteries in it?
The mystery of the big black donger has been solved.
Thanks, Mum and I.
Bree and Clint.

It's currently worth $20,000.
Soundkeeper Ella is here.
Hi, Ella.
Hi, Ella.
Hello, hello, hello.
I don't know if you're going to be nervous about this,
but our person coming on to have a guess
has decided to use breeze logic
from deciphering the clue that you put out six hours ago.
That's great.
We want people to decipher the clues.
I just can't say anything, so we'll see. That's great. We want people to decipher the clues. I just can't say anything.
So we'll see.
We'll see.
We're coming for you.
Caitlin Teo.
Hi, Caitlin.
Hi, Caitlin.
Hi.
How are you guys?
I just need to check with you.
Are you sure you want to go down the Brie Logic rabbit hole?
Yeah, I'm pretty sure I do.
Yes, Caitlin.
We're a team, mate.
That's what it's about.
Absolutely.
You're on. You're about to have mate. That's what it's about. Absolutely. You're on.
You're about to have your guest, so you can do this.
Tell everybody how you have interpreted the clue that went out today.
So when the clue went out this morning, I checked it into Google, the wee code,
and then watched the Sam Smith video and took the lyric from two minutes and nine seconds.
Smart.
What's the lyric at two minutes and nine seconds?
It says baby.
Oh.
Baby.
Yeah, that's smart.
Okay, Bree watched it on mute,
so there's a flaw in your logic there.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay, so baby, the sound is this.
I'm assuming you're not guessing that the sound is a baby.
What do you think the secret sound is based on the research you've done?
Caitlin, don't say a baby crowding because that's not appropriate.
No, I think it's the sound of a baby's heartbeat, like under ultrasound.
Oh, cute.
Okay, level three babies being conceived, lockdown babies.
Level three made me.
Buy now, use later.
Is that what you say with babies? I don't know.
No, no. You buy
stuff before the baby
comes. So you buy it now
and later on.
Exactly.
Good, Caitlin. It has
to be right. I hope so.
The only person who knows for sure is soundkeeper Ella.
Caitlin? Hi. Hi. What would you. But the only person who knows for sure is soundkeeper Ella. Yeah. Caitlin.
Hi.
Hi.
What would you do
with the $20,000?
I'm just curious.
I would probably
put a new roof
on my house
because it's got
a couple of holes in it.
Oh, that's...
She needs it, Ella.
Yeah, come on, Ella.
Mama needs a new roof.
She needs a new roof.
Yeah.
Well, hey.
Literally put a roof
over her head, Ella.
Yeah. Fingers crossed. roof. Yeah. Well, hey. Literally put a roof over her head, Ella.
Fingers crossed.
Caitlin, wow.
You're definitely blowing Clint and Brie out of the water with your guess.
Is that another clue?
I'm not saying.
I'm just saying that is not the secret sound, Caitlin.
Ah, roofless.
Honestly.
I feel like a baddie.
Am I the bad guy? No, you're not the bad guy, but we have to... You're just doing your job.
You're just doing your job, but we're just doing our job,
Alibia, applying pressure to you, you know?
Okay, okay. Because pressure
either makes diamonds or
you will crack and we will get some
information that will result in someone winning the money.
You're not the bad guy. We just have to put pressure on you.
Okay, that's fair.
We're going to crack you like a game of crack the egg
on the trampoline, Ella.
I play that a lot, actually. That's fun.
You're doing an amazing job. You're doing very well.
Thank you, thank you.
I feel like...
I think Caitlin's done people a service this afternoon.
So Caitlin, go away knowing you've contributed
to the Secret Sound cause
and please try and get through again with a new guest, okay?
You did very well.
Thank you so much, guys.
Solid guest.
Next guest for ZM Secret Sound is at 7am with Fletch, Vaughan and Megan.
That's when Stunky but Ella will be back.
It happens at 7 o'clock, 8 o'clock, 11, 1, 4 and 5.
And it's thanks to our mates at Neon.

Let's talk weddings and how much is appropriate to be asked to pay
if you're in the bridal party.
Oh, okay.
Because there is quite a lot of stuff usually that you have to get
if you're a part of the bridal party.
Not to mention the parties that you have to organise
and gifts on top of that, et cetera, et cetera.
There's a woman who has posted to the Reddit forum called Wedding Shaming where she's explained
that she-
That's such a hot button topic, by the way.
Isn't it?
Yeah.
Because people definitely feel some kind of way about it.
Absolutely.
And hopefully at one point you will be in this dilemma
if you get asked to be in a wedding,
which is a really nice thing to be asked to be a part of a bridal party.
It's a wonderful honour.
But then paying for it, not so much,
depending on how much they expect you to pay.
Because also it's hard to opt out.
You can't be like, do you want to be my bridesmaid?
And you can't go, well, yes, but how much do I have to pay for
before I make my mind up?
Exactly.
You know?
This woman said she didn't realise how much it would cost
upon accepting the role.
She said, I've been in other weddings before
and I was only required to buy the dress.
But big mistake for me, I've never been in a monstrosity of a wedding. The bridesmaid
said she only began to see the error of her ways when expensive events began to be planned.
A bridal shower at a pricey restaurant was organised by one of the bride's sisters who
harassed everyone to pay up front in the group chat.
Well, that sounds fun. They also had to pay for dress, shoes, jewellery,
a bunch of other things.
Anyway, turns out, you know how much she had to fork out?
How much did it cost to be a part of this wedding?
For her to be a part of this wedding,
she had to pay for her own hair, to get her dress resized.
It cost a total of $2,000.
Oh, get wrecked.
To be a part of the big day.
I feel really strongly about this.
That's so much money.
And I've had a wedding, so I can say that.
Yeah.
I don't think your groomsmen or bridesmaids
should have to pay anything to be a part of your wedding.
You want to have the wedding and you want to have the big bridal or groom's party.
Yeah.
You pay for it.
They're showing up to help you out, you know?
Look, I think it's a tough one.
Like, do I think they probably should pay for their own accommodation on the wedding night.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
They would already because they would be going to the wedding.
But if you want them to wear a specific dress, then you pay for it.
Then you buy the dress.
Otherwise, make the dress code mufti and let them wear a dress they've already got in their
wardrobe.
You know what?
I don't hate-
Which you won't because it won't look good in the photos.
I don't hate that idea.
I quite like that idea.
Wear what you feel comfortable in, but obviously make it wedding appropriate.
Yeah, that's fine.
And that would be nice if you're willing to do that.
And not a white dress. But if you want to have appropriate. Yeah, that's fine and that would be nice if you're willing to do that. And not a white dress.
But if you want to have it, yeah, not white.
If you want to have it themed, you're going to have to shell out
for these outfits.
I know that upsets some people because I know weddings are expensive
but like you're.
Like if you're choosing to have, you know what it really ticks me off though.
Because she's not really going to wear that dress again.
That's a bridesmaid's dress and you go, you'll have it forever.
You're all cool.
I'm not going to wear it again.
I'm never going to wear this again.
You know what really ticks me off?
If people have like, you know, six, seven people in the bridal party and then they're
like, oh, we've got so many people, you're going to have to pay for your own stuff.
Well, don't have as many.
Make a decision.
Have three.
Pick your favourite one and go with that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But it gets that way.
And look, it's totally normal to ask to split some costs.
I get that. I. But it gets that way and look, it's totally normal to ask to split some costs.
I get that.
I totally get it.
I think it's fair to split some of the stuff
but I think $2,000
is quite a lot.
We should talk to some people
who have been landed
with big wedding bills
because we've talked to people
who it's wrecked
the friendship before.
Like the whole preamble
of the wedding,
the bridal shower,
all the things
that go along with it,
it's actually ended up
wrecking the friendship
because there's been so much expectation,
not just financial expectation, but all kinds of things.
Well, that's true.
And to be honest, what if you're the type of person
that is not going to ever choose, like you choose not to get married?
You can't recoup your costs.
You know what I mean?
Say you're the type of person where you're like,
I don't really care to get married.
It's not really my thing.
Happy for you, but. But then you fork out all this money where you're like, I don't really care to get married. It's not really my thing. Happy for you, but.
But then you fork out all this money and they're like,
don't worry, your turn will come.
You're like, no, I don't want to get married.
Well, let's talk to those people.
Let's talk to some cynical bridesmaids, not brides,
and groomsmen, not grooms.
How much did you have to pay to be part of someone else's wedding?
Yeah.
Was it a heap of money?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And was it, oh, I'd also like to hear stories where, you know, there's been a fight. Yeah, was it a heap of money? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And was it, I'd also like to hear stories where, you know,
there's been a fight. Yeah, yeah, definitely.
There's been a discussion about, you know,
the cost that you had to pay.
Call us now, 0800DIALS at M
or you can text us on 9696.
You can remain anonymous.
You might need to. And we won't charge you
to call. It's free.
That one's on us.
Right now we're asking you
how much did you have to fork out
to be a part of someone else's wedding?
Yeah, what costs were inflicted on you?
You were given the privilege of being part
of the bridal party and they said, please,
can you pay for this, this,
this, this, and or while you're at it, this.
This is a really good text that's come
in of someone. I really like it. I think I know
the one you're talking about. They said, I'm a bride and we are paying for everything,
which is a nice position to be in to be able to do that.
They said, but if any of them want to keep the dresses or suits,
they can pay for them.
Otherwise, we'll be selling them after the wedding.
Great option.
Perfect.
Great option.
That is such a good way of looking at it, I reckon.
Rather than trying to sell it to your friends,
oh, you'll wear that dress again.
You can cut off a bit of the bottom part and it's a cocktail dress.
I've been to weddings where the grooms have had to pay for the suits
and I know that the guys up there have never worn a suit in their life
and never plan on wearing a suit ever again
and then they had to pay for the suit that they will literally wear once.
I've got a question for you.
Did you make your groomsmen wear vests?
No, didn't know.
Okay.
Why?
What's that got to do with it?
I just think if you have groomsmen and then you make them buy a suit with vests,
I feel like that's just another cherry on top of that.
Oh, right.
We didn't make our groomsmen buy their suits.
I only had two groomsmen and I paid for the suits.
Smart. You only had two. Keep it small, man. Because you were buy their suits. I only had two groomsmen and I paid for the suits. Smart.
You only had two.
Keep it small, man.
Because you were paying for it.
I like that.
That's smart.
Let's talk to some people right now.
The rest of your friends were devastated, but that's fine.
I had to fork out.
Georgia's here.
Hi, Georgia.
Hi, Georgia.
Hi.
What did you have to pay for to be part of someone else's wedding?
So, I'm a bride at the moment.
Oh, yeah? Congratulations. Yeah, congrats. have to pay for to be part of someone else's wedding? So, I'm a bride at the moment. Oh yeah,
congratulations. Yeah, congrats.
Um, I think if you're only going to have one or two,
they shouldn't have to pay for
anything because your wedding's not going
to be that expensive if you're going to have to pay
for one of everything. Yeah, yeah.
But the second that you decide that you
want all of your friends in it,
they should understand how expensive it adds up.
Right.
Because it does add up.
You're paying, say, $200 for one bridesmaid's dress.
I get what you're saying.
You want four bridesmaids at $800.
What about, Georgia, if you say you give your friends an ultimatum
and you say, whoever, all of you are welcome to be in it,
but you have to pay.
Rose.
Okay, I'll just mark that off my list.
Don't do that.
I like the way that Georgia's looking at it, though.
She's kind of going, you need to understand if I make this a big friend event
that we all do, I need you guys to help me do it.
No, I get that.
Yeah, that's a good way of looking at it.
But Georgia also said she's keeping it small.
Yeah, keep it small. Keep it simple. Let's talk to someone who wants to be anonymous. No, I get that. Yeah, that's a good way of looking at it. But Georgia also said she's keeping it small, so. Yeah, keep it small.
Keep it simple.
Let's talk to someone who wants to be anonymous.
Hi, Anonymous.
Hi, Anonymous.
Hi.
How much did you have to pay to be a part of someone's wedding, Anonymous?
It would have been over a grand.
Yeah, it's quite pricey, isn't it?
What did you pay for?
Was that dress and shoes? Dress, shoes, makeup, nails, accommodation.
And then I had to pay for breakfast for everyone the morning of
because that hadn't been organised.
And then just before we were about to go to the wedding,
we realised the bridesmaids had no transport,
so I had to quickly order us a taxi with my Facebook.
Oh, that's rough.
You were Johnny on the spot.
You were an asset at that wedding,
but you really got stiffed on the cost, didn't you?
Yeah.
Did it sour the day for you?
Did you enjoy the wedding less because you were kind of counting the cost?
Not so much.
I kind of just let it go.
It was like worked it out afterwards, and I was like, oh.
You just pushed it deep down inside of you
until you have the chance to get them back at your wedding.
Yeah, yeah.
Congratulations, you're part of the bridal party.
Here's some costs for you.
I want a limo.
This person wants to be anonymous,
possibly because they were a maid of honour at their sister's wedding
and had to pay for a fair bit.
Hello, anonymous.
Hi, anonymous.
Hello. Oh, Anonymous. Hi, Anonymous. Hello.
Oh, Anonymous, you sound salty.
Tell us, how much did you have to pay to be a part of your sister's wedding?
Well, it was almost $4,000.
$4,000?
Where was the wedding?
It wasn't the wedding that was the problem.
It was the problem that my sister wanted, like,
three different events before the wedding.
We had bachelorette party
down in Wellington. We had
a thing in Auckland for everybody
who didn't come to that because that
was only bridal party and then there was also
a bridal shower. Oh no, no, no, no, no,
no, no. Wait a minute, Anonymous.
I feel very strongly about
this. You can't have a
bachelorette party and a bridal shower.
You can't have both.
You pick one.
Turns out anonymous sister can.
And to be honest, she had three, it sounds like.
Did you go along with all of this?
Did you ever put your foot down and go, hey, I'm four grand in the hole.
This needs to stop.
No, I didn't.
And then the worst part is when I got married, I asked her to help with stuff
and she said she couldn't afford it and didn't want to help.
And we didn't talk for three months.
My skin is burning for you, Anonymous.
She only got away with it because you were her sister as well.
I'm ropeable.
Because you love her unconditionally
and you would do anything to make your day special.
It was the same thing when she had her baby.
I had to organise the baby shower and that cost me almost a grand as well.
Wait, wait a minute, Anonymous.
Wait a minute.
You need a new sister.
You, you.
No, she needs to be smarter.
Did you, wait.
Tell me the timeline of how things happened.
Did she get married first?
Yes.
And then did you get married?
No, and then she had baby and then I got married.
So she got you twice before she stiffed you in the back.
Yep.
Well, you're a good sister, Anonymous.
Thanks.
How's your back feeling?
It's a bit sore.
Yeah, I'm scared.
I bet.
Oh, yeah.
No present for her at Christmas this year.
Brie and Clint.
No. It's my birthday. It's my this year. Bree and Clint. No.
Hey.
It's my birthday.
It's my birthday.
Bree and Clint's Birthday Banger.
All right, Birthday Banger for a Tuesday.

Shake that.
No one did more
to pump up the party boy
aesthetic than LMFAO.
You get party rock anthem.
Do you like it Ash? I do like
that. It's a good song to dance to.
I remember when they came here in 2011
promoting that song
and we gave them a bottle of vodka as part of the interview.
We're like, oh, here you go.
Here's some 42 Below.
It's New Zealand vodka.
And they went, thanks, awesome.
And they ripped the top off it and they sculled half the bottle of vodka
at 8 o'clock in the morning.
Oh, God.
And we're like, oh, cool, man.
Please drink responsibly.
Drink responsibly.
You know why they –
You guys don't need to do that.
Do you know why they ended up not touring?
Because the older one, not...
The uncle.
Not Redfoo.
The uncle hurt his back really bad.
Shuffling.
Yeah.
That's a true story.
Ash, do you like your birthday banger?
I do like my birthday banger.
Yeah, it's not bad.
Good song.
Okay, wait there.
Sky Blue.
Sky Blue. That was the other one., wait there. Sky Blue. Sky Blue.
That was the other one.

I thought you were talking
about vodka again.
Oh, no, no, no, no.
I was like,

Charlie's here.
Hi, Charlie.
Hello, Charlie.
How's it going, guys?
How are you, mate?
Just thanks.
Yeah, yourself?
Not too bad.
Thanks, Charlie.

No.
Who does Mr. Saxo Beat? Is this Yolanda Be Cool? No. No. Who does Mr. Saxo
beat? Can't remember.
Mr. Saxo beat.
Alexandra Stan
is who did Mr. Saxo beat. Don't remember.
It's my favourite Alexandra Stan song by a long way.
I mean, it was a tune. Do you like it, Charlie?
Your birthday banger? Yeah, not bad,
not bad. Not bad, but different, eh? It's a bit of a bop, Charlie.
You put it on at a party, people will be like,
oh, yeah, this song. Remember this? Yeah. Okay, 2011, wild time. One It's a bit of a bop, Charlie. You put it on at a party, people will be like, oh, yeah, this song.

G'day, Linda.
Hi.
How was your long weekend?
It was great, thanks.
Oh, good to hear.
What's your birthday, mate?
The 10th of March, 1971.
All right, you were 16 in 1987.
And on the 10th of March, on your 16th birthday, Linda,
this was number one.
Won't you take me to Funky Town?
Do you remember that one, Linda?
Oh, yeah.
Funky Town.
It had such a story in two words that she just said.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Do you think that should win Birthday Banger Linda?
Oh, absolutely.
Do you?
Bit of a bop, isn't it?
Okay, we'll take that into consideration.
We've got Mr. Saxo Beat, Party Rock Anthem or Funky Town?
It's between Funky Town and Saxo beat for me. I'm going
saxo beat only because we did funky
town recent-ish. I do
love that saxo beat song. I tried to talk
you out of it that time as well, but we still play that.
For funky town? Yeah, yeah. Alright, I'll go saxo beat
because I was thinking that was a tune. I thought you were going to go,
alright, I'll go funky town. Charlie,
congratulations, you win birthday banger.
Are you there, Charlie?
Oh, we lost him.
He's already partying.
Yeah, right.
He's got his...
Oh, he's pulling out his old saxophone.
I can hear him.
Get on it, Charlie.
Here you go.
The winner of birthday banger is from Alexandra Stan on ZM.
Brian Clint.
Brian Clint.
All rise for some royal news. A lot of stories about the Queen at the moment.
Well, she's a hot topic.
Yeah, she is a hot topic.
Have you seen her TikTok account?
It's so lit.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I love her prank vids.
She goes into shops and she uses the money and she goes,
that's me.
Classic. Great content. Yeah, that's me. Classic.
Great content.
Yeah, she gives away Teslas.
Yeah, it's awesome.
No, there's a story out today about the Queen and people are concerned
about her because she did have a short stay.
She spent a night in hospital last week.
She's 95 and they said it's because she's so busy.
They reckon she's very run down.
She had 19 public engagements in the last like three weeks or so.
That's a lot.
That's so much.
Yeah.
Especially if you're 95.
That's one a day without a day off.
Yeah, it's crazy.
And you're 95.
And they said on top of that, she also has a habit of staying up really late and watching
TV.
She's a big fan of late night TV.
Yeah, right.
Well, I mean.
Finally, we've got something in common.
Oh, is that where you go with that?
Yeah.
I was like, oh, poor old duck.
She's lost her husband in the last year.
It's probably a better companionship for her, you know?
Yeah.
You know, something to do.
But apparently she's always really liked it.
It's something that she's really enjoyed.
Do you think she's on the streaming services
or is she still flicking through one, two and three?
That's such an interesting question.
I don't know.
It does say in the article some of the shows she's into.
I haven't heard of them, but people might have.
It says she's a big fan of BBC's Sunday night police drama,
Line of Duty.
Okay, right.
That's something she's into.
That's good.
And she also claimed she stayed up really late
to watch the women's US Open finals.
Oh, okay.
She likes sport.
She loves a bit of tennis.
Yeah, okay.
Makes sense.
She, yeah, she's a very active person in her life.
Tennis is very raw.
Yeah, yeah.
Wimbledon, all that stuff.
I don't know.
Yeah.
But I've got an inside scoop.
Do you?
I've got an inside scoop about some of the other late night television shows she likes to watch.
Oh, yeah.
What's she into?
So I got this from an insider source from inside Buckingham
Palace. Have you got an insider in the palace?
I do. Wow. Yep.
I've got an insider. Surprised
we didn't use this insider when the whole
Meghan and Harry thing was going down. I know.
Sure, use it for this. This is good.
They'd used up all their minutes on their prepaid
phone. Right, okay, cool. But this is
100% real. The Queen loves
a bit of late night telly.
On her list of things to watch, Love Island.
Of course.
Her favourite's the UK version, but she doesn't mind the Australian one
and the US one as well.
She likes the Australian one because she's like, we colonised them.
Exactly.
Still good for her.
So it's a way for her to check up on how the Aussies are doing.
Yeah, the Isles are going, yeah.
She said she's a big fan of the show Sex Education.
Right, okay.
She said she's on that bandwagon.
Any particular reason?
She just said it's quite insightful.
She likes the full frontal nudity.
Yeah, it's her favourite.
Which is why on her list of late night TV to watch for the Queen
is also Bridgerton.
Very relatable for her.
She said she, you know.
It's a reality TV show for her.
She puts herself in a lot of the circumstances that are in the show.
And the Queen also loves to watch.
It's an oldie but a goodie, she says.
A bit of Geordie Shore.
That makes sense too.
She's a big Gaz Beatle fan.
Bree and Clint.
We're the leading show for maritime and aviation news.
That's why I want to bring up the topic.
Look, I know it's taboo post-COVID,
but I want to talk about cruise ships.
No, it's fine.
The Titanic happened years ago.
So it's all good.
COVID did bad things for the cruise ship industry.
Remember those ones that were parked off Sydney and they were full of COVID?
There was one in Italy too.
Yes, one came here.
It was full of COVID.
And they just were stuck on the ship.
Because when they get COVID on them, it just goes round and round the air con.
Do they just wait until everyone gets it?
Is that what happens?
I don't know how they do it.
No, no, no, no.
They have to wait until they can quarantine everyone off the boat.
Anyway, we've moved past that.
We're getting vaccinated and stuff.
We're good to go.
Because I want to convince you to go on a cruise.
Well, I'm glad we've kicked it off well.
I've found one that I think is good.
To be fair, it's going to be more for retired people, this cruise,
as is every cruise ever.
But let me talk to you about it.
Because I think this is the perfect way
to get back travelling
after the pandemic. It's by
the cruise company Royal Caribbean
or Caribbean, depending on how you like
to say it. They
have a cruise which goes
to 150
destinations, 65
countries. It includes
11 great wonders of the world. Side note, who knew there were 11 great wonders of the world.
Side note, who knew there were 11 great wonders of the world?
11? What have they added
on there? I don't know. Have they added the
big prawn in Australia? Hopefully.
And maybe the
L&P bottle.
Yes, that's good. That should be on it.
We can't cruise to the L&P bottle.
You go around the Horn of Africa.
You go up through the Americas.
You go to Antarctica.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Wait.
How long is this cruise?
You go through Asia, the Pacific, the Middle East
and the Mediterranean and
they'll have you home in a
brisk 274
nights. So
not a year. Not quite a year. Nearly a year. Yeah. 274 nights. So not a year.
Not quite a year.
Nearly a year.
Yeah.
274 nights aboard this cruise ship.
That is such a long time.
It is.
You basically live on the cruise ship.
You're pretty much a pirate.
I guess you could look at it like that.
But you're living on the boat.
You'll see basically everywhere in the entire world.
So it's pretty good from that sense.
But you have to live on a cruise ship.
Like if you get cabined next to someone that you don't like,
that's you.
That's your fam for the next 24 nights. Yeah, well, true.
Imagine if you don't like your neighbor.
Depends how rich you are because I feel like if you can afford
one of the really nice rooms that's above the water level.
That's why there's no price on this because it's all about packages, right?
You wouldn't want to do the 274.
Well, you would, I reckon.
You'd want to do the all-inclusive one where you can eat and drink as much as you want.
But imagine how much that would cost.
They would have to roll me off that ship.
Literally get the plank and roll me off onto the dock.
You'd have to take a year off work, but is that your idea of a good time?
Would you get on a cruise ship and see the entire world in 274 days?
I mean, pretty cool.
Yeah, I thought so.
That you could see the whole world and go to all of those places.
Yeah, and I see how they get you when you're in your retirement
because what a cruising, excuse the pun, what a relaxing way to travel.
Yeah, because everything's done and you just go to sleep
and wake up in a new country.
You're just on the ride.
You don't have to catch a plane from this place to that place.
You literally can just lay in your bed and cruise in style.
Well, it departs in 2023.
The ship is taking bookings now.
And if you're keen, I don't know, go see a travel agent or something.
I don't know how these things work.
I'm not keen. I don't know, go see a travel agent or something. I don't know how these things work. I'm not keen.
I get really bad seasickness.
Oh, do you?
Yeah.
Well, you're out.
