Happy Auckland Anniversary Day and welcome to the Brian Clint Show. Yes, happy public holiday to half the country, half-ish. About half, yeah. Population-wise, yep. Yeah. And welcome back to the first day of your week for the rest of us. I mean, is it meant to be a public holiday for Bree and I? Yeah, but we're here.

So I'm not saying you should, but if you feel like saying thank you for your service to us when you call up today, I mean, we wouldn't say no to that. We would really appreciate that and feel the love, knowing that we're here for you guys. For you guys. Yeah, it's very selfless of us. I mean, we're getting time and a half in a loo day, but it's still pretty selfless of us. Are we sure we get the day in loo? A hundred percent.

In the time and a half? Yeah, you're working on a public holiday. I hope everyone else... You're basically a doctor on New Year's Eve right now. Is that right? Is that what they get? No, New Year's Eve's not a public holiday. New Year's Day is. New Year's Eve right now. Is that right? Is that what they get? No, New Year's Eve's not a public holiday. New Year's Day is. New Year's Day, yeah.

And I don't know about the rest of the people listening who also had to work today. Same situation, maybe. Yes. Time and a half. Thank you for your service. Thank you guys for your service. But here's our life hack.

Use your day in lieu for the day after Waitangi Day in a couple of weeks. Yes. Boom, four days off. There you go. Because we deserve it because we're putting in the work now. You still get to keep that time and a half though. Yeah, that's ours to keep.

Yeah, that's ours. Woo-hoo. How good? A bit of fun on the show coming up for you today. First thing we'll do is tradie versus lady. We're after one week for 2025. The scores are 4-1 in favour of the tradies. That's correct.

The tradies had an absolute ripper last week. What's going to go down today? 0800 DIAL ZM, 50 bucks up for grabs as per. Now, here's Gigi Perez in Sailor Song. God, it'd be nice to be out on a boat today, wouldn't it? Wouldn't it? Oh, I bet there's a few people. In Auckland, in the City of Sails.

Yeah, we've got the day off today. Yeah, well, that's what you do in Auckland. Waiheke Island. Not us, though. Thank you for our service. It's Tradie versus Ladies. Three, two, one, let's go. Righty, here we go.

The Tradies and the Ladies, week number two of 2025. And the Tradies are away and flying. Four plays the ladies one. Let's call our lady in Invercargill first. She's 33, and last Thursday was her birthday. Welcome to the show, Sarah. Hi, Sarah. Hi, guys.

Like sevens or rugby? Yes, correct. Well done. She's off to the Warriors, though, playing a bit of rugby league this season. She's cross-code. I can't wait to see her. She's going to run rings around them. She'll carve up for the Warriors,

and then she'll be on the first Auckland FC women's team as well. She'll just keep jumping around. It seems like she can do it all. All right, we're one apiece in this game. Question number three. Buzz in when she can do it all. All right, we're one apiece in this game. Question number three. Buzz in when you can tell me who sings this. Lady. Sarah's in.

Lady. Yes, Sarah, for the win. Isaac Newton. She's got it. How did you do that? Wow. That's outrageous. She's a lady.

Oh, oh, oh, she's a lady. All over it like a rash, Sarah. The ladies needed a bit of oomph this week, and you've given it to them, Sarah. Well done. Thank you. Good job. 50 bucks. We'll get it out to you, mate.

Happy birthday for the other day. Thank you very much. And thanks for a good game, Fintan. That was tough. Solid. It was tough. Solid. Thanks, guys.

Sweet as men. Bree and Clint. You know what I love? I love those stories that you hear, and it restores your faith in the human race. And I feel like they're fewer and far between these days. I joke. Are you lacking a bit of faith in the human race currently?

It's just nice to have those reminders where you hear the stories of people doing lovely, good things for other people. Sure. For no reason, just that they're a good person. You know, restores my faith. And I've got a story like that today because an Aussie woman was left very panicked after she lost $8,000 in cash out of her pocket on the way to work.

Why did she have $8,000 in cash? So, apparently, her and her husband- I mean, it's none of my business, but you know. Well, it is our business now because she's told the story. So apparently they sold his ride on lawnmower from his gardening business. Oh, I was going to say, did they sell a car? Yes, so they sold this mower and she had the cash

and she was taking it to work because she was going to deposit it into their mortgage account on her lunch break. Yeah. So that's why she had the $8,000. They're not like small-time dealers or anything. Well, that's the story they're telling us anyway. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Now, anyway, she's went into absolute panic mode

and I'll let her tell the rest of the story as to what happened. I lost $8,000 in cash on my way to work. I had it in my pocket and I rode my bike to work and the money fell out on the trip. It turns out that it dropped not far from where I live. A neighbour found it. He found it on his morning walk. His name's Paul.

Fantastic to have that faith in humanity. In Paul, he gave back the entire $8,000. So many questions. How did Paul know it was her $8,000? So they do go more into the story where the building manager ended up getting CCTV footage and then put the call out to everyone in the building and then apparently someone said,

I found that money and I handed it into the police station. How much do you carve off for Paul as a thank you? Like for a reward? Yeah, yeah. Like if I show up to your house. Five hundy? Well, I mean, you could have nothing That's generous You reckon that's generous

Yeah I'll just give them poor cheeky hundy Okay Just slip one off Give it to them Pardon you Okay that is too generous Five hundred dollars Yeah anyway

That's nice Isn't that nice Because I mean It's one of those things Like especially when you're in a situation, you know, when someone loses their phone, like in your friend group or someone get like something goes missing, there's always the chance that a bad person is going to pick it up. And, but there's always a chance that a good person is going to pick it up and you're just

going to get it back. You and I both went to the races on the weekend. I went to a bar beforehand to meet some friends for a couple of drinks and we went back to that same bar after the races. And as we walked back into the bar, this guy came over to us, who works there, and just handed us the little card holder that had one of the guy's hotel key and two of his credit cards inside it. Just handed it to him. So he knew it was him.

Yeah, but the crazy thing is the guy didn't even know he'd lost it. He'd been in the races for six hours and he didn't know that he didn't have any of his cards with him. Far out. See, good person. Good person. Just doing a good deed. I thought we could take calls this afternoon, 0800DIALZM, on stories that will restore our faith in the human race even further.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, like what did you lose and what did you get back? What did you get back? From someone or just anyone doing a good deed just out of the goodness of their own heart. They didn't need to. Ethically, they did. But these days, you might not see it that much. Yeah.

Bree and Clint. We're asking for your stories this afternoon. We're humans have been good humans. They've done a good deed just out of the kindness of their heart. Restore our faith in humanity. A lady said $8,000 cash returned to her, fell out of the kindness of their heart. Restore our faith in humanity. A lady's had $8,000 cash returned to her, fell out of her pocket. Every last dollar.

And got handed into the police and she ended up getting it back. I have handed things into the police before, like things that I have found. Yourself? No. No, I always go in in disguise. It was me.

No. I weed in that alleyway. Excuse you. I've been in and I've handed the thing in, but in the back of my mind is always that little thing going no one claims it in three months technically this is my thing.

You know, so you're like, you do the right thing. How do you even know that that's a rule? Because it is. Because the police don't want it forever. They can't keep everything forever. I think it's on you to go back in and be like, hey, I'm just wondering if anyone picked up that digital camera that I handed in three months ago.

The Sony Cybershock? The cop's like, sir, it was three months to the day. Yep. I was just in the neighbourhood. Quarter past one, if I remember correctly. Anyway, what's the thing that restored your faith in humanity? Kia ora, Karen. Hi, Karen. Hi, Karen.

Hiya, how you going? Good, thank you. Now, who was this person to you? Were they a known person, a stranger? Who were they? You know, a stranger. I was just in the countdown at that time in Calvin Grove, actually. And there was just a lady in front of me,

and she struggled to pay the balance of her groceries. So I just offered to pay them for her. It was getting close to Christmas, and so, yeah, that was quite nice. So you, you were the person. No, I did that. You restored faith and humanity, Karen. Hey, I'll tell you what, though. I'll tell you what, I've been into that countdown up there at Calvin Grove,

and I've gone through, and I've got them right through the checkout, over $100. Yeah. And I tell you what, there's a couple of people in there that were working there, and Renee, she said, oh, here you go, I'll pay for your groceries. So I went home, and I put it straight back into her account. So it's come full circle. Like, you've done a good deed, and it's come back to you, Karen.

I think I did that before I did that, though. Yeah, you know what I mean? But the people that were there, they were fantastic. And you, Karen, I'm going to call you modern day Robin Hood. I don't know about that. Are you getting that good karma back? Like, is good things happening to you? Oh, yeah. I reckon, you know, treat people and, you know, how you would like to be treated and, yeah, I believe in karma.

So, you know. Well, good on you, Karen. That's lovely. Well done, Karen. I hope someone would do the same thing for you if you're in that situation. That's nice to hear. Hey, Clint, make sure you hand yourself another plate. I've been trying to convince him, Karen. I've been trying.

Karen, until there's a reward, and I can claim that reward myself by handing myself a... I've seen the warrant. I will not. A couple of warrants. Oh, I thought that was quite funny. There's a wanted poster at the local hotel. Oh, bless you. That was good stuff, Karen. Gosh, she was such a lovely poster at the local hotel. Oh, bless you.

That was good stuff, Karen. She was such a lovely person up until that bit. No, and that's what made it so funny. She got you. Hey, you guys are great too. I quite like listening to you. Thanks, Karen. We appreciate it. Another good deed Karen's done today. Someone else said, I drunkenly lost

my phone at the races and I didn't know until I heard my name over the loudspeaker. There is no other person in New Zealand with my name. So it was quite surprising to hear my name. God, I want to know what their name is. Me too. What's your name? Did we try and call them, Claudia?

We couldn't get hold of them? No, they lost their phone again. Can you text us what's your name? Yeah, what is the name? Oh, that should be our next phoner text us what's your name? Yeah, what is the name? Oh, that should be our next phone. Does anybody

have this name? Yeah, we try and debunk the theory. Write this down, Claudia, in the ideas cave. You call us

if you think you are the only person with your name. If you've never met a single other person with your name, we will try and see

if we can find one. For a long time, I think I was the only Clint. Yeah. And then, you know, started to get popular. Clint Eastwood came about. From iHeartRadio, this is the latest live from

LA with Dean McCarthy. Dean, what's going on with the Cyrus family, essentially, but especially between Billy Ray Cyrus and Trace Cyrus at the moment? This is so crazy. This family, they're rich, but they are a hot mess. Let me just set the scene for you. So after Billy Ray Cyrus performed at the presidential inauguration,

they're calling it a train wreck. Not my words. That's how it's been described. Well, the next day, Trace Cyrus went on social media and said, Dad, me and the girls have been genuinely worried about you for years, but you pushed all of us away. Now, remember, Billy Ray Cyrus has six children to his first marriage to Tish, which obviously includes Miley Cyrus,

and then he has another son to another lover. But basically now, apparently, according to Trace, Billy Ray told one of their other family members that he would take legal action if Trace Cyrus didn't stop speaking about him in the press. He said he'd threatened legal action, didn't go straight to Trace on this, went to some other cousin or something. The cousin's gone to Trace and said, stop talking about your dad. He's going to take legal action. And, of course, Trace then went on social media and talked about his dad. So it's just a shame.

You know, what I've heard here in L.A., though, is obviously Miley bankrolls that whole family. Like, she bankrolls and pays for everyone and everything. That's what I've heard here in L.A., which probably doesn't surprise many people. She was a billionaire at one point, that Hannah Montana, you know, thing. So just it's a shame. It is a shame.

It's never nice to see that stuff happen in public like that. Look, he was a hot mess at the inauguration. He looks like he needs help. They turned his guitar off, so he did Achy Breaky Heart with no instruments. It was just, yeah, it was terrible. And it's interesting because obviously

it has been very well documented the estrangement with Miley and him. They haven't talked for years. For years and years like when Billy Ray left their mum, Tish and then started dating another woman and there's been a huge fight going on between

him and Miley and obviously now his son has been added to the mix. Who's got the better one-hit wonder? Billy Ray Cyrus? Or Trace Cyrus? They're both pretty good, yeah. Both are bops.

Both are bops. That's the latest live. Oh, you're a Billy Ray man, Dean. Well, only because that is so universal. Yeah, that's true. Anyway, everyone knows the words. That's the latest. Oh, you're a Billy Ray man, Dean. Well, only because that is so universal. Yeah, that's true. Anyway, everyone knows the words. That's iconic. Everyone knows Dean is a mullet man.

You can't stay away from him. That's the latest out of Los Angeles with Dean McCarthy. Our Hollywood correspondent. Every year, the list of New Zealand's most stolen car gets released. Long time the Demio was dominating that list, the Mazda Demio. I don't know what changed. Easily stealable, the Demio. Yeah, and very good for a ram raid too.

Yeah, right. They get in those tight gaps. They can go through a set of bollards easier. So they were kind of the perfect ram raid car, I think. But I think as a people, we have moved on from Ram raiding. What is the new Demio? The new Demio is also pretty good for a Ram raid as well. The Toyota Aqua is the most stolen car in New Zealand.

Another little car. Again, of all the cars that were stolen last year, so you think of all the different cars that exist, 8% of all of the cars stolen were Toyota Acquas last year. Wow. That's heaps. That's a lot. That's a big percent.

It's almost one in every 10 cars stolen was a Toyota Acqua. When you think about how many different types of car are on the road. Yeah, that's what I mean. It's like a very common statistic. And it's good to see, because the Toyota Equo is a hybrid, it's good to see that car thieves are finally thinking of the environment. Yeah, that's good to see. These car thieves finally thinking about their carbon footprint.

Yeah, I heard they're using recyclable gloves when they're doing it too. Yeah, well, they reuse their gloves now. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. They get the, not the one-use gloves. No, no.

Second most stolen car, Toyota Corolla. Oh, if you're going to steal a car, steal a Corolla. Those things go and go and go. You just can't kill them. Well, they're reliable. If you steal a Toyota Corolla, you've got a car for life. Yeah. Yeah.

Or life in prison. Oh, yeah. That's what I meant. I mean, that seems a bit harsh for stealing a Toyota Corolla, you've got a car for life. Yeah. Yeah. Or life in prison. Oh, yeah, that's what I meant. I mean, that seems a bit harsh for stealing a Toyota Corolla, but... And the third most stolen car is a Nissan Tita. Another small car. Another small car. The Toyota Aqua was the most stolen car in New Zealand in 2022, 2023, and now 2024.

Oh, do you reckon they'll be sad that they've lost out the number one spot? Who, the Aqua? No, the Demio. Oh, the Demio. You know? Yeah, yeah, yeah. They were trying to get back on top of the list. No, try harder, Demio.

I've driven an Aqua. They suck. It's probably the worst car I've ever driven, the Toyota Aqua. As soon as you get above, like, 60 k's, it feels like the doors are going to fall off. And it's unusual because Toyota are great vehicles. Great vehicles. But I think it's just because it's so small. Every now and then

because you know how every Uber you get in is a Prius and then if you're having a good day you'll get a Camry. A couple of times I've got an Aqua and that's when you know you've got a bad Uber. It's not your day. Oh my god. You should pay me to go in this thing. You know the worst car I've got an Aqua. And that's when you know you've got a bad Uber. It's not your day. Oh, my God. I'm like, you should pay me to go in this thing. You know the worst car I've ever driven was when I first moved to New Zealand, right? Yeah.

And when you move countries, you literally start from scratch. Yeah. So I had to find a place to live. I had to open a bank account. I had to get a phone. Driver's license. I had to get a new driver's license. I had no car.

Yeah. I literally just came here with the money in my pockets which wasn't much had to learn the local language had to learn yeah it was scary times and i remember asking ross boss because do you remember they talked about pj's crappy car i can't was it was it a? It was a Corolla, but it was a weird kind of Corolla. It was an old school Corolla. Yeah, yeah. Like it barely had, I don't think it had power steering. Yeah, no, it was a dog.

Anyway, I drove that around for like three or four months. Yeah. And I was just hoping someone stole it. We wanted to turn it into a spa pool, remember? Yeah.

But soundkeeper Gary said, no, I want that car when you guys are done with it. Yeah, I'm going to actually use that for my everyday driver. And I think he drove it for a couple of years. The most cars stolen were in Auckland, followed by Canterbury,

followed by Waikato, followed by Wellington, followed by Bay of Plenty, which I think that makes sense. I think that's the size of our, in descending order, the size of our cities. But yeah, up the aqua.

That's the most stolen car again. We wanted to ask this afternoon, do you have a car that sucks so much you don't even reckon it would get stolen even if you left the keys in it? Yeah, you probably leave it unlocked because you're like, no one's taken this. Are you embarrassed about how bad your car is?

Or are your friends embarrassed about how bad your car is? And they won't get in it. Remember ex-producer of this show, producer Ben. I'm going to call him out. He drove this beaten up old Subaru. Yeah. What was it? It was a Subaru Impreza station wagon.

And I'm not joking when I say. It had a mattress in the back. The miscellaneous stains on the seats made me feel sick. Hey, he said he had a mattress in the back because he used to go hiking. It smelled like mildew. It was so rank in that car.

Love you, Ben, but your car was young. Does your car have a hole in the floor? Does it have a hole in the roof? Is it missing a door? What is the deal? How bad is your car have a hole in the floor? Does it have a hole in the roof? Is it missing a door? What is the deal? How bad is your car? So bad that you don't even think it could be stolen if you tried. Spending our Auckland anniversary day with you.

Girls, because we love you, guys. It's what we wanted. Yeah. The list of most stolen car in New Zealand is out again, and for the third year running it's a Toyota Aqua, which I said was probably the worst car I've ever driven. I hated it. I hated everything about driving that car.

Someone texted and said, how dare you talk so badly about the Toyota Aqua. Take it back. You're going to take it back? I will not take it back, no. But I understand your passion for it. No, I don't actually. I don't. I don't.

I don't. Anyway, if you... Do I say this? Getting passionate. If you're lucky, your car will be stolen soon and then you won't have to have a Toyota Accord anymore. That would be the upside, wouldn't it? That's horrible.

Assuming you're insured. We asked, do you have a car that's so bad that you're embarrassed to drive it or your friends are embarrassed to be seen in it or you just don't even think that it's a stealable vehicle? It's that bad. Someone texted and said, when I was in the UK, I had a Kia Rio.

All the windows leaked. I tried to sell it to one of those we buy any car places and they wouldn't buy it. I hated this car. Jeez, that must mean it was a piece of crap. Someone else said, when I was learning to drive up until I was 21, I had a Daihatsu charade with a manual choke. A manual choke? We pull it out, yeah. Wow, it was terrible. Half the time it didn't start because I flooded it, pulling the choke out too much. My friends never came in my car. They all said it was like a massive fish tank.

No tinted windows so everyone could see in. I'm 23 now, so literally got rid of it a couple of years ago. Good for you. You know what is good, though, about having a really crappy car when you're young is you appreciate having a nicer car as you get older. We've all had shocking cars. Yeah.

Yeah. But you need to go through those moments so you can appreciate when you do get something nice. Someone else said the Mazda MX-5 should be on that stolen car list too. You just cut the roof to get inside. What? Wow. Because they're cloth.

They're convertibles. Oh, of course. Yeah. Yeah. Someone else said, my beat up Jeep, it sounds like a skeleton tap dancing on a tin roof. That's not a good sign. Someone's texting.

We've tried to get this person on the phone. They said, I currently drive a 2000 VW Beetle and I'm genuinely terrified to take it anywhere out of the city. I've spent more on repairs than I paid for the car. It feels and looks like driving a car out of the B movie.

Oh, it's one of those when they bought back. They were so cool though. They reimagined the Beetle, the VW Beetle and they bought it back. This is going to carbon date us, reimagined the Beetle, the VW Beetle, and they bought it back. This is going to carbon date us, but who was the person who had a VW Beetle in there? Billy Piper.

Yeah, that's right. They were so popular. She had the song Candy. Was that Billy Piper? No, that was Mandy Moore. Oh, Mandy Moore. Mandy Moore. Mandy Moore, yeah.

Yeah, you did right. The VW Beetle had a little flower holder on the dashboard so you could put a flower in there. Oh, my God, yeah. They were such cool cars. I think all the cars came with them. Yes, they did. Hey, yeah.

It was like their thing. Yeah. So, yeah. Anyway, good luck out there. Hey, just be safe. Yeah, just be safe. Drive safe. So long as you've got a wharf, then you should be fine.

And if you can't get a wharf, go to another place that probably will give you should be fine. And if you can't get a Woff, go to another place that probably will give you a Woff. Time for a round of How Many. How Many. How Many. How Many. How Many. That's a good amount. Ella's game where the goal is to have the most something.

Hi, Ella. Hi, Ella. What's up? Happy Monday. Happy Monday, dude. What is today's topic? Today Monday. Happy Monday, dude. What is today's topic? Today's topic for How Many is how many Instagram posts do you have? Oh, on your grid. Yes, on your grid. And you'll see it.

Is it public and do you want some more followers? Fair, nah. Nah, she's good. Fair. I think that's a good decision, Meredith. We're going to let you plug the gram, but if you don't want to, you don't want to. That's okay.

You don't need to do that. So, Meredith, you need to win by having the most Instagram posts and you get to choose who to go up against based on what you know with Brie, Clint or producer Claudia. So who do you think you want to verse today? My son is calling me Claudia, so I'm going to go with Claudia. Claudia. How old's your son, Meredith?

I'm 11. I'm a huge fan of you guys. Oh, what's your name? What's your name, man? Walter. I saw you at the East Sheeran concert. Oh, how good. No way.

Well, can I just say, Meredith, sounds like he is a huge fan, and I probably would trust his judgment, but it's up to you. Claudia, you've been nominated. Okay. Should we find out what Meredith's number is first? Yeah, go on. Meredith, what's your number? How many Instagram posts do you have, Meredith?

It's not that many. It's 513. Okay. 513. Pretty good. I can tell you if you had chosen me, Meredith, you would have lost. I have 2,169 Instagram posts. Holy smokes.

Impressive. I've got 1,000. It's still a lot. 1,148. You would have lost up against Bree as well Okay so this is good for you But she has picked Claudia I've never been chosen in this game

So this is a big day for me Oh it is You're welcome Claudia I have 62 She literally never posts Meredith. Well done. Team effort from Meredith and Walter.

They get it done. Well done. We've got 50 KFC chicken dollars coming your way. You can have KFC for dinner one day this week, Meredith. Amazing. Thank you. Walter will be very pleased. Also, one last question for Walter.

Since you're here and you are a big fan, is this the first time you've called through? Yes, but my mum called when I was younger. Ah, okay. All right, fair enough. Hey, good to have you guys on the show and congrats on winning the game. Well done, guys.

Awesome. Gee, 2,000 posts is a bit much, eh? What are you posting? I've been on the app since it started. Are you posting every time you wipe your bum or something? I got the app as soon as it came out. So did I. Posting twice a day in the beginning.

A couple more. Or this coffee. That'd be a good post, actually. Oh, I've got to put a picture of this meal up. I've got to put that on the gram. People need to see my oats. Went out on the weekend, Saturday night, down to the races, and it was a great day.

Had a few drinks. I mean, it did rain, which was a bit disappointing. But other than that, it was a great afternoon. You had that wither-proof fascinator on, though, so you were okay. I did. So that was a good call for me, actually. It was not the worst part of the day for me, though, the rain. Unfortunately, the worst part of the day came for me

when I completely put my foot in it towards the end of the night where I've mistaken one person for someone else. Oh, okay. And not just like briefly, like where you might have mistaken someone for someone else and then... Like a well-known person? Yeah. Okay.

I'm going to say they're well-known in New Zealand. They're a celebrity, a sports star in New Zealand. Have they been on Celebrity Treasure Island? They haven't. But here's the deal, right? So a couple of weekends ago, I emceed at the black clash yes which is fantastic event it's where cricketers take on rugby players in a game of cricket yep and it was my third year hosting i'm waiting for the cricket players to take on the rugby players in the game of rugby see that's

going to be a good watch as well yeah um and anyway so i've worked with these people for a number of years, so I've gotten to know, you know, the players. Anyway, there's one particular guy who I believe has been in the Black Clash every year named Hamish Marshall. You might know him. Very good cricketer. Played for the Black Claps, the Black Caps. And out of the corner of my eye, because I'd seen him two weekends ago, like worked with him

interviewed him talked to him at the black clash and at the races on saturday out of the corner of my eye i went oh there's hamish marshall over there and my partner also went oh look there's the new zealand cricketer hamish marshall and i was like oh i know the guy i'm gonna go say hello walked over went g'day, Hamish. How are you? Fancy seeing you here two weekends in a row. And this guy looked at me, deadpan, and went, I'm not Hamish. And I was so confident that I went, oh, come on, Hamish.

Come on, mate. What are you doing? You know me. Yeah? You know me. Yeah. You know me. So he wouldn't take his word for it. And he did not break character, deadpan. That's not me.

I'm not Hamish. And I was so sure that I wouldn't let it go. You tripled down. I tripled down and went, why are you doing this, Hamish? We worked together last weekend. What are you doing to me? I've had too many rosés. I know it's you.

What's going on? And so then one of his friends was off to the side, steps in and goes, that isn't Hamish. And I went, oh, okay, so now this is like a bit all of you guys are doing. Is this like a fun game that you're playing with me? I was so sure. That's so uncomfortable. And then another friend walks in and goes, I'm telling you now.

You need to calm down. That's not Hamish. And so much so that I went, right, what do you do for work? Because I want to know if you have a trustworthy job and then I'll believe you. And this guy goes, I'm a cop. And I went, oh, right. Well, I kind of have to believe you then.

You kind of have to believe him legally, yeah. And I said, well, am I going crazy? Because that looks exactly like New Zealand cricketer Hamish Marshall. And that's when finally, after like 20 minutes, he turns around and goes, yeah, Hamish is my identical twin brother. You were talking to James Marshall. I said you could have said that from the start. You could have bloody said it from the start. Also a black cat.

I know. I found out. I reckon they do that all the time. I bet. I reckon they do it all the time just to mess with people. They were living for it. Got absolutely hook, lined and sinkered by James Marshall. Well, you've got the set now.

Yeah, I've collected them all. So next time you see either of them, you know what to do, eh? Marshy! G'day, Marshy! Bree and Clint. Just quickly, this will make you feel like time is just slipping away.

Did you know that the Super Bowl is two weeks away? What? Yeah. Is it? So that Super Bowl that we watched last year, where we watched Travis Kelsey's team win and Taylor Swift was there and she was down on the field, that was an entire year ago.

Who's playing in it? The Super Bowl this time? Yeah. The Chiefs again and the Philadelphia Eagles, I think. No, I meant... Oh, the halftime show. Yeah. Kendrick Lamar.

Okay. Two weeks. Super Bowl halftime Okay. Two weeks. It's a full halftime show. Two weeks. Wow, that's crazy. Look, this might, I will warn people, if you're like me, and I feel like neurodivergent people like myself, we get really quite weirded out by certain textures.

Okay. Like it's like a textural thing. You're going to say neurodivergent thing. Yeah, I think we have, I've always had this thing. Stop trying to claim getting grossed out by things. I get grossed out by things. I'm not saying grossed out by things. I'm saying textures can really send us into a spiral.

Okay. I'm pretty sure it's a neurodivergent thing. I'm not saying it's just a neurodivergent thing, but I feel like when I saw this ad for this product, it kept popping up over the holidays, and every time I saw it, I would just kind of like, oh, it would make me cringe thinking about it. Right. And I said to my partner when the ad would pop up,

and I was like, why in the world would they make that particular product out of this particular material? So I'm going to tell you what it is and I just want to see your guys' reaction if you would buy this product or not. So the ad was a microfiber bed quilt. How do you guys feel about that? I know how I feel about it.

Not good. I can't stand the feeling of microfiber on my hands. I can't even talk about it. Like I feel like it finds all the tiny bits of skin on my hand and like pulls in these kind of like. I feel like I'm Spider-Man when I'm touching it and I hate it. I don't understand. I might be ignorant. I don't know a lot about text hate it. I don't understand. I might be ignorant.

I don't know a lot about textiles, but I don't understand the point of microfiber. It might be the worst type of fabric that exists. Yeah. It's quick dry, right, for like towels? Is that what it is? It's good for travel towels. I do not give a shit.

If it's quick dry, get it away from me. The towel that came with my car washing kit, that you towel the car off where there's quick dry, get it away from me. The towel that came with my car washing kit, that you towel the car off where there's microfiber, and that must be why. But there is towel drying kits like a chamois that are not microfiber. But I think so you can wring them out quickly and the water doesn't stay in it

because I don't think microfiber is very absorbent either, is it? I hate it. It's probably not a good thing for a quilt when you're wringing that out? Why are they making a whole bloody quilt out of this stuff? And then it touches your entire body. Well, Claudia's got a point. What if you're a bed wetter?

I did not make that point, but thank you. I've read some of the, do you want to hear some of the product details about this thing? Yeah, yeah, yeah. So it says machine washable, hypoallergenic, an excellent alternative to feather or down. Microfiber is machine washable, hypoallergenic, you just said that, and offers high loft and softness suitable for all seasons. No, not keen.

Someone just texted and said, I dated a guy with microfiber sheets. No. Immediately no. Honestly. No. There's something wrong with that person. Yeah.

I've got goosebumps in this chat. We, well, up until recently, we used to get a gift from ZM each Christmas and it was often like a rugby jersey with like the class of 2022 embroidered on it and something. One year recently, we all got microfiber like hooded towels

with ZM written on them, which was such a cool gift. Except that they were microfiber towels and none of towels with ZM written on them, which was such a cool gift, except that they were microfiber towels and none of us could put them on our body because they're like all static electricity. And we're like, oh, oh, oh. Why would they, why would they make it out of that? Are we neurodivergent as a station?

Yeah, could be. Probably. Could be. A lot of neurodivergent people work in radio. It's a trend. You want to ask what's the texture that makes you go, oh, oh, oh. It's just, oh.

Yeah, what's the texture, the textile, the feel of the thing? You know what texture really does it for me when I put it in my mouth? Eggplant. Oh. I love eggplant, but. Oh, the texture. I can't deal with the texture. You don't like it because it's gooey, but do you like salmon? I don't mind salmon. How is that the same? It Oh, the texture. I can't deal with the texture. You don't like it because it's gooey.

But do you like salmon? I don't mind salmon. How is that the same? It's not the same. You don't reckon? Nah. Nah. I have the same, but with food.

Different one. Yeah. Pumpkin and kumara. Can't deal with the texture. Because it's too squishy? It's squishy, it's stringy, and I hate the taste as well. Oh, the stringy. I get the stringy of the pumpkin.

Yeah. Can't deal. I can't handle, it's not something that goes in your mouth. I can't handle the sound of ice grating. Oh, like someone chewing it? No, no. Oh, yeah, that's bad. But if you've got like a frosted over freezer

and you've got to like pull a pack of mints out of the freezer and it goes. Yeah, I hate that too. It feels like someone is like prodding me in the back of the brain and not in that nice ASMR kind of way. Don't like it. You have to have the right cutlery as well. I have to eat with the right fork.

And it has to be small. I think we are the neurodivergent station. Let's build on this list, everybody. The prongs can't be big. Come on into the fold. The prongs on the fork can't be big. We're getting married, so we're looking at new cutlery and stuff,

and I'm specifically, like, zooming up on them. Come over here to mum and neurodivergent. I'll look after you. Someone just said halloumi, the texture, yuck. I get that one as well, yeah. What about the sound of halloumi frying? Can you handle that? Oh, it's squeaking.

I can, but I can see how you might not want to. A lot of velvet coming in, but what's going on the texture heebie-jeebie list? Brie and Clint. Brie's having full-on conniptions about an ad. She keeps getting served for a microfiber towel. And now she's clicked on the ad to show me it again, which means it's going to stay in your feed for another three weeks. No, it's not a towel.

It's a whole quilt. Oh, yeah, it's a microfiber bed set. Because I know the towels exist. Who is drying themselves every night with a microfiber towel? Yeah. That's not a car or a boat. Yeah. I just don't understand. So we're asking what's the texture that just gives you the willies. Let's go first to Charlotte on 0800 DALES. Hi Charlotte. Hi Charlotte. Hi guys, how's it going? Good thanks. What is it for you mate when you touch Let's go first to Charlotte on 0800 DALES. Hi, Charlotte. Hi, Charlotte. Hi, guys.

How's it going? Good, thanks. What is it for you, mate, when you touch it, you're just like, oh, no, can't deal with that? Wooden utensils. Wooden utensils. Is it the feeling in your hand or the feeling in your mouth? Both.

All of it. What do you reckon that's because of, Charlotte? I honestly don't know. It's just I can't even talk about them without getting all I do relate to this because I run a very fine line when I'm eating an ice cream that's got a wooden stick. Someone text through about the

wooden stick in an ice cream. And I'm like how much of this ice cream do I suck off before I really Mate it's Monday How much of this ice cream do I eat from the stick pardon you what's your favourite

a magnum the XXL yes Charlotte you're right about the wooden stick thing okay we'll just leave it there thanks so much do you like with nuts or without nuts let's go to Toby on 0800 dials at M. Hi, Toby.

Hi, Toby. Hey. Tell us, mate, what is it for you? Bree can do the talking now. What is it for you? Yeah, my literal fear is jelly. The texture of jelly. It's the texture, the movement, the sound it makes when it jiggles.

How were you with that nursery rhyme, jelly on a plate, jelly on a plate, wibble wobble, wibble wobble, jelly on a plate? I was in the corner crying. Toby, let's say we did some crazy radio stunt where we got a whole paddling pool full of jelly. For $1,000, would you get in there and roll around? Maybe. Okay.

So everyone's got a price to face their fears. And the $2,000 is at the bottom of the pool, but you've got to retrieve it, Toby. And you've got to put your face in it. Toby's like... You can wear goggles and Speedos, that's it. Goggles and Speedos? Yeah.

I'm just imagining that all up on my body. Yeah, we want our entertainment value for our $2,000. Even if it traumatises you, Toby. Then we'll get one of your mates in there and you have to wrestle for the money. We're asking what's the texture that you can't handle. Someone said oysters make me gag. That's a common one. Yeah, absolutely.

Someone else said the thought of touching velvet or it being near me gives me legitimate goosebumps, sends me into another dimension. There's so much velvet coming in. These people wouldn't have survived the 1970s. To that person, I can relate so much. Yeah. Like, it's such a weird feeling, but it takes over your whole body and your mind

where you're like, what is going on? This all stemmed from Bree's fear of microfibre. Someone's texted to say that for them, polystyrene is just as bad as microfiber. I've heard people hate polystyrene as well, yeah. That squeak that it does? Yeah, I don't love it. This is very specific, this one. It doesn't

give me the ick, but I understand the feeling. They said the feeling of cornflower between your fingers. Have you noticed it? I hate it. And it's like... It's yuck. It doesn't glide in the same way that flour does. It's squeaky. Yeah.

Yeah, that's how I'd describe it. Yeah. It's kind of like got friction. Yes. Mm. Yeah. It's weird. Someone else said any fruit that has fur on it.

Get this. Clint doesn't wash his peaches before he eats them. No, I just eat them. Yeah. I didn't know washing a peach was a thing. You said you washed the fuzz off it. I grew up on a stone fruit slash apple farm. So we grew a lot of peaches and you wash them.

Yeah. You're meant to wash them. I've never washed a peach in my life. I prefer them from a can though anyway. Have you tried a wash peach? No. You've never, wait, you've never tried a hairless peach? To the person texting in, no, this is not a euphemism for anything.

No, we're being serious. We're talking about the stone frame. How dare you? Someone can't stand cardboard straws. Can we get a peach for Clint tomorrow and we'll wash it and he tries a wash peach for the first time? I mean, it doesn't even have to be for the radio. I just want to see his thoughts.

Someone else said, I can't handle the texture of raw mints. Oh, yeah. How do you make burger patties? Oh, that wouldn't be great, eh? You know what I really can't stand? You know, I don't even know what you call it, but you know when you buy chicken or sometimes any type of meat and it comes with like the chicken nappy that's at the bottom of the packet.

Oh, the chicken pad. Yeah, the chicken pad? Yeah, yeah. Touching that is honestly... They only started putting those in recently. And sometimes they have them, sometimes they don't. Yeah. And I'm so glad when they don't.

I didn't grow up with a chicken pad in my chicken. You know one time when I was making soup, I accidentally cooked the chicken pad in the soup And then I ate the soup anyway It was boiling in there for a couple of hours I'm sure it would have been fine What do you reckon's in those chicken pads?

Just blood Yeah just chicken blood Someone else said The feeling of frosted glass Is awful to me It actually makes my hands hurt Interesting Someone said the feeling of frosted glass is awful to me. It actually makes my hands hurt. Interesting. Someone said the texture of avocado makes me gag so much.

I've never heard of that before. And someone else said they can't handle tennis balls. Yeah, right. The fuzz on a tennis ball is too much for them. Someone else said coated marshmallows, which that is the... Is that the powdered sugar on the marshmallow? That's the cornflour. Cornflour? What did someone the- Is that the powdered sugar on the marshmallow? That's the corn flour. Corn flour?

What did someone say before? Is it powdered sugar? But it's the same texture. Oh, right. Yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And it rubs between your fingers. Yeah, exactly.

Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. There you go. We all have our weird things. Yeah. I'm off to find a washed peach. You can call to play birthday banger with us if you're keen. I know where to get a washed peach.

What was the best thing you did on your weekend, Tony? I had a DIY project on, doing some paving out the back of my house, which was strangely satisfying, but I'll probably crack in a beer after I've finished it. Oh, nothing beat today. I had a little bit of a heart attack there. I thought you said a DUI. You had a DUI over the weekend.

Maybe after cracking that beer, yeah. Maybe after, hopefully not, Tony, hopefully not. No, we don't condone that. What's your date of birth? 10th of June, 1979. All right, Tony, that means you were 16 in 1995, and on that day, this was at the top. LaBouche.

Fair enough. Hey, mate, what is your date of birth? Every day on a dairy farm is a honeymoon though, isn't it, Jade? Oh, I don't know about that. Yeah, I don't know, especially those early mornings. Oh, you're a good one, Jade. What is your date of birth, babe? It's April, May 1996.

It's called Be My Lover. Oh, yeah. Want to be my lover. For Tony, that was his birthday banger. It was better than I remembered. That rap in the middle when it kicks in. Someone said it's hard to drive at the speed limit with a banger like this. Other people calling for it to be put on the ZM playlist

as a permanent. Someone has said, I didn't know there was this many different combinations of la, da, di, da, da. Can you just imagine they're in the room, they're like, what if we go la, la, la, di, da, and then we go la, la, di, da, da. I like it, I like it, I like it.

Keep it coming, keep it coming, keep it coming. Sweet dreams of rhythm and dancing. Sweet dreams of passion through. I like it. I like it. Keep it coming. Keep it coming. Keep it coming. This is me, eh? This comes on at the club. I'm done. Can you tell how old we are? Actually, this is even too old for us. We were literal children when this sort of music came out.

Doesn't mean you can't appreciate the classics. But I feel like I was meant to be born. Like I was meant to be in this era because I just eat it up. Brie and Clint. Clint, you know what I love? I love a good biopic. Oh, yeah. A biopic, which is technically... I was going to say cheese, but yeah, yeah.

I mean, could be. Yeah. But it's a movie about a famous person. Yeah. It's not a documentary. No. It's not a movie about a famous person's life. And not a docu-series. Not a docu-series. That's a different thing as well.

And not a biography. No, it's a biopic. A biopic. A biopic. This is exciting. And this is, I feel like, at the top of my list of people who I want this to happen to. Britney Spears. Oh. list of people who I want this to happen to. Britney Spears.

Apparently, a biopic is set to be directed by Wicked director John Chu who says he wants to do her story justice and tell her story right and apparently it's in the works as we speak. If he is doing it and he is the Wicked guy, who do you think will be a musical?

Well, you'd think. If you look at the ones that have come out recently, Queen, musical. Elton John. Elton John, musical. Robbie Williams. Musical. Yeah. Well, kind of. There was a lot of music interwoven. Would the Britney one be good or would it just be sad? It's going to be pretty sad. Yeah. It's going to be, but I mean, there's a lot of success in her story as well.

Yeah. But there is a lot of sadness, but I can't wait to see it. And it got me thinking about who are the famous people that have had a biopic made about them? Who plays Britney, sorry to get sidetracked, who plays Britney Spears in her biopic? Sydney Sweeney probably. I was biopic? Sydney Sweeney. I was going to say Sydney Sweeney, but I didn't want to be the first one to say it.

You know who could do it? Who? Meryl Streep. Oh, yeah, Meryl Streep. Sheik, I mean she. Or Daniel Day-Lewis. Daniel Day-Lewis would do a great job. Denzel Washington also would do a good job.

Okay, let's play Do They Have a Biopic? Yep. Here we go. Producers, you're in for this game. Here comes celebrity number one, Notorious B.I.G. Yeah, I think there is a Notorious B.I.G. biopic. And didn't Sean Kingston play him? What do we think?

Yes? Yes. Clint says yes. He sounds confident. I'll go with him. Sure. There is. It came out, I believe, quite a long time ago.

And obviously he tragically died in 1997, which looking at the list that I've been studying today, if they've passed away, more likely to have this. Yeah, that's why the Britney one will be a bit weird. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Which, I mean, they have done that before. Okay.

Next one on the list. Tina Turner. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Which, I mean, they have done that before. Okay. Next one on the list. Tina Turner. Yes. Yes, I think she does. Passed away recently in the last couple of years. Not that I'm aware of. Is there a bio made about her? No, but there should be.

Apparently there is. Ha! How big it was, we don't know, but apparently it does exist. Let's go down a different train of thought. What about one of the smartest men to ever walk the planet, Albert Einstein? No, but he's in the atomic bomb. He's an Oppenheimer.

Is there a biopic made about him? I don't think so. There's one about that Morse code guy. Oh, I loved that movie. Wasn't that good? That was so good. I don't think there's an Einstein doco and biopic. There is.

I want to watch it. I'm going to say yes. Because how could there not be? Yeah. That story would be so fascinating. I agree with you, but it doesn't exist. Wow. There's an opportunity there for Hollywood.

Is it because he's not sexy? They could make him sexy. It's like Taranita going with some fucking lady. True, true. Let's do hot Einstein. And he pokes his tongue out. Look out. Question number four, Ray Charles.

Yes, Jamie Foxx. Good memory. One of the best biopics I've seen. Jamie Foxx absolutely crushed it. It won the Academy biopics I've seen, Jamie Foxx. It won the Academy Award. Absolutely crushed it. Yeah, it was released in 2004. What about, I'll do an easy one.

Claudia and Clint, you don't answer. Oh. Eminem. I haven't heard anything about it. Why would there be one? He's young. Have you heard of the movie called 8 Mile? Have you heard the song Lose Yourself?

Yeah. The movie 8 Mile, have you heard it? Yeah. That's about a rabbit fence, isn't it? What? That's the rabbit-proof fence. It's about a rabbit called Eminem. Okay, so there is one.

Yes. There is one. Very, very famous one. Also won an Academy Award. Yes, it did. Let's keep rolling on with the rappers. In Ella's defence, I've never seen 8 Mile. I know that it exists.

You've never seen it? No. It's fantastic. And Eminem plays himself. Yeah. And he's so good in that. Yeah. It's a must watch.

Put it on your list. I will. Let's go down the same train of thought. What about 50 Cent? Yes, get Richard Dutron. Yeah, sure. I'll go with it. Same. Ella hasn't seen that one either. He played himself too. He played himself as well and it's fantastic

as well. Cool. What about the stunt performer, Evil Knievel? Oh, surely. Surely. Surely. Evil Knievel broke over 400 bones throughout his career. Pretty amazing story. Motorcycle jumper, yeah.

No, doesn't exist. Wow. Last one on the list, one of my favourites, Whitney Houston. Is there a biopic made about her? Yes, you told us you watched it last year. You do listen to me sometimes. Yes, it came out in 2022. Also a very, very sad story. Was it good though?

Yeah, it was good. Worth a watch. Yeah. Well, there you go. Who would play Brie in a movie? Text that into 966. Oh, Jennifer Lawrence. Oh, who texts that through? Oh, that was quick. Brie and Clint. You know when we left the Benson Boone concert on Friday night? Yes.

I got breathalysed by the police. God, there's a lot of, and I don't think it's a bad thing, there's a lot of booze stops out at the moment. I feel like they're doing, that's kind of the police's new thing, doing a blitz on drink driving. I also feel like it's the time of year. Yeah, quite possibly. Like there's a lot more booze buses around because I feel like it's still

that kind of season. It's only, what, the 20-somethingth of Jan? I've been breathalysed twice this year already. Have you? Yeah. Once with my kids in the car, we were driving back. It was like 11am on a Sunday morning and we were driving back from the beach and I got breathalysed. Did they ever go?

The kids? Yeah. No. No. You're like, look, I'll be honest, officer. I have not been drinking, but don't breathalys those two in the back. They're off their heads. You're like, look, I'll be honest, officer. I have not been drinking but don't breathalyze those two in the back. They're off their heads. They're crazy. Anyway, obviously I passed the breath test on Friday night. I would never do anything that stupid.

But there is that bit inside you that goes, oh God. Every time I get pulled over, every time I've been pulled over, I'm like, wait, have I been drinking? Even if you haven't been drinking. Even if I haven't. It's the same feeling as going through airport security and you're like, wait, have I been drinking? Even if you haven't been drinking, eh? Even if I haven't. It's the same feeling as going through airport security and you're like, do I have any knives? Do I have any ammunition in my backpack?

Did I pack any explosives? Don't think I did. This breath test was humming, though. Like it was, they were a fine-tuned machine. They had both sides of the road shut down. It was in the middle of Newlyn in Auckland's west. Which kind of breathalyser was it? I'm always interested because there's the one where you blow into the straw.

No. Then there's the one where you just talk into the thing. Yeah, yeah. You blow in the straw when you fail the talk. Then you blow. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Right. And then if you fail that, then you have the blood.

Because some are straight straw. Really? Yeah. No, this is just a talky talk. Count to 10 is what I got asked to do. Pass? Yeah. Nah, this is just a talky talk. Count to ten is what I got asked to do. Passed, went through, went to take off and then some guy steps in front of my car and puts his hand up

like this. Uh oh. And I cacked it. I was like, oh, what's happened? You cacked your dad's, did you? And I got waved over into the side bit where all the drink drivers go. And so I had to pull in there in my car and this guy came up to the passenger window and he leans

in and across his shirt it said Court Bailiff and he goes, hi sir, we're just going to check to see if you have any outstanding fines on this vehicle. I've never had that before. Interesting. So I have to sit there while he talks to someone at the court or something, I don't know, this is 9.30, 9.45

on a Friday night and they run my number plate and my driver's licence to see if I've got any outstanding fines. I told you to not put those neon lights under the part of your car and put that nos in. Well, it made me wonder what would happen if I did have outstanding fines. Do they have like a paywave

machine where you can like... Just pay and go? You've got $700 of fines. You can just... I always worry about that because I've moved house a few times. Yeah. And it's not that I'm someone who doesn't pay my fines. Yeah. But sometimes I'm not the best at organising my life so I haven't got my mail changed over.

I never remember to do those toll road ones. Neither. You know when you just drive... But it turns out, it seems fine. Like... Wait, have you never paid them? No, I think my card is... Attached to it. I think my credit card is attached to it somewhere. Yeah.

But I don't know because I never remember to check them. I never remember those. Anyway, just a tip for you guys. That is something they are doing at the checkpoints now. You're fine if you haven't drunk drive, but also... They're going to check your fines too. They're going to check your fines too. They're going to check your fines. Does that include parking tickets?

Yeah, it would 100% include parking tickets. Oh no. It's going to be a long year. Claudia, I'm looking at you.
