The ZM Podcast Network.
We need to come in hot here, Matty McLean.
I think so.
First of all, Matty McLean is on the podcast.
Hi, hi, hi, hi.
Welcome back.
It's so nice to be back.
It's so good to have you back.
Clint is moving house at the moment.
He's also doing a Thermomix course and he's getting his...
Ingrown toenail.
Ingrown toenail.
Did he ask you to help him with the move?
Because isn't that the worst when a friend goes,
do you want to, can you just help out?
I think all of us, didn't we say we were like,
don't ask us to help.
We're busy.
I feel like you're a bad friend if you ask a friend to help you.
Totally.
Do you know what I mean?
Totally.
I feel like it just goes without saying that that's just something you shouldn't ask.
You know, I won't ask you.
You don't ask me.
The only, sorry, hi.
The only, I don't know if you can hear me, but the only thing I would do and say yes
for is painting, like painting the house or painting the walls.
That's different.
It's so fun.
Don't look at me weird.
It's therapeutic it
is not fun i've asked so many people to help me move i had to move the when that first lockdown
was announced i wasn't supposed to move for a week after that but the option was either it was
supposed to be a four-week lockdown so it's either pay four extra weeks of rent or move out that day
but that's different that's an emergency move i've also done non-emergency moves, right? I've asked a lot of people. No,
Claudia, no. Thanks, Dad.
You should have seen when I
lived in Brisbane, I was living
in this complex that had four
townhouses in it. So
our townhouse was directly next door
like our two front doors like met
with each other. And I was living with
my co-host on the radio at the time,
Gawndy, Daniel Gawndy.
I'm going to name and shame him.
Anyway, one day I'm sitting in the living room and he bursts through the door and he
hits the deck and he starts crawling and I was like, what the hell are you doing?
He goes, get down, get down.
What?
And I was like, why?
He goes, there's people moving in next door and the wife's pregnant so the guy's going
to come and ask us to help him move.
He goes, get on the floor.
And I was like, oh my God, you asshole.
That is an asshole move.
So I got on the floor.
Yeah, and you hid.
And we hid for three days.
I mean, anyway, we got sidetracked because what we were coming in hot about.
I was glad you got sidetracked.
We just got sidetracked.
Oh yeah, we were always coming back.
We've been eating some salt and vinegar chips.
And producer Claude first of all told us not really a vinegar person.
Salt and vinegar chips, they hurt my mouth.
I don't like them.
But then you went even further and you said it's not just vinegar.
It's sauces in general.
I've recently kind of come around to sauces.
I'll use a little bit of tomato, a little bit of aioli.
What did they come around?
I'm so personally offended by this. I for
ages just thought they were like disgusting.
What about hummus? No. What about
aioli? Aioli I love now.
Mayonnaise? I love that whole grain mustard.
Yum. No mayonnaise.
Hot sauce? No.
What? Oh my gosh. There's so many
amazing condiments that you're missing out on.
I think if a dish comes with a sauce
I will have it. Like a pasta? Like a pasta,
like, I love a donburi with, like, the teriyaki
sauce. Delicious. Yeah, but that's different.
But, like, hot chips, happy with them on their own.
No! No!
We need tomato sauce.
God, you absolute savage.
That's wrong. But I really
don't like salt and vinegar chips.
Which is good for you guys, because you can have them.
There's a bag sitting right next to us, and I don want any of them i love vinegar so much like growing up in an
italian family this is something we would always fight over we'd always have this big salad and be
covered in balsamic and oil and salt and pepper and so everyone would eat the salad and then it'd
be a fight over who would get a piece of bread and dunk it in all the leftover vinegar that's like a big thing in our family nightmare for me oh i love it you like it too
yes nightmare scenario so good and like dipping bread in oils as well you don't like that
it's the best so what if there's if you went to a restaurant and they gave you bread with some
uh like olive oil in a bowl you wouldn't dip you bread with some olive oil in a bowl,
you wouldn't dip the bread in the olive oil?
I probably would dip a corner, but then I would eat it and be like,
oh, no, I don't want that.
If I had bread, if it was warm with some butter, salted butter would be great.
Or any of those spreads, like an olive spread, that's really nice.
An olive spread?
I love olives.
So you like olive spread, but balsamic vinegar too far oh my
god you're making me angry i'm actually angry oh no you know i used to have a friend that i lived
with for a couple of years and she had never drunk anything other than water. No. Or maybe, no, she drank like alcohol.
It had to be clear though.
What?
So it'd be like lemonade, vodka or, you know, stuff that was clear.
Orange juice freaked her out.
Really?
Why?
The colour?
Was it like a phobia?
It was a phobia thing, yeah.
She could not like drink.
Was it the pulp or the flavour or?
I don't know.
Was she like Clinton?
She's a weird thing about fruits.
Nah, she hated Coke.
Like she would freak out if you put a glass of Coke down on the coffee table near her.
She would be like, nah.
People are weird, eh?
I mean, we're very strange things, aren't we?
But it's so beautiful that we're all so different and we all enjoy different things.
Isn't that beautiful?
It'd be such a boring world.
If we were all the same.
Like, imagine if we all had the same kinks.
Yeah, but still.
Might work out.
But still.
For some.
Yeah.
Ketchup.
What?
Ketchup to your kink?
No, I'm saying we can all be different.
Hey, that's a fun kink.
I'm saying we can all be different,
but tomato sauce is the one thing we can agree on.
Tomato sauce is okay.
What do you guys think?
Heinz or Waddy's?
Waddy's.
Heinz.
Yeah, I'm a Heinz girl too.
I think it's because I grew up in Aussie and that's what we grew up on.
True.
I mean, they're pretty bloody similar.
Yeah, they are.
Aren't they?
It's tomato sauce.
Yeah, I'm not too opinionated.
Yeah.
I mean, when do you, here's's a question when would you use barbecue sauce
never on chippies you're you're although actually it's nice on pizza oh like a hell's pizza with a
barbecue that's that's pretty much my that would be the main thing i would use it for i'm not a
massive barbecue sauce person except for on pizza same but the only time i use it pizza. I'm not a massive barbecue sauce person except for on pizza. Same, but the only time
I use it, pizza, yes, and then
if I make a, for some reason,
bacon and egg
sandwich, I love barbecue
sauce on it. I don't know why.
It's the only time I use it.
Like it sits in our fridge forever.
Okay, now you made me want to go and make
one of those.
I love food.
Alright, should we wrap it up?
We can go up for bacon, egg, and barbecue sandwiches tomorrow.
Oh, let's do it.
In the morning.
See you guys then.
Sounds good.
I'm coming in.
Well, howdy, pilgrim.
Bree and Clint.
What time is it?
Three, two, one.
It is Bree and Clint.
Good afternoon, New Zealand.
I don't usually start the show, but Clint is away.
He's taking a Thermomix course, which he's very excited about.
But doesn't mean we don't have someone joining me.
Matty McLean, it's so nice to see you.
It's so nice to see you too, although the weirdest thing is
I've come in here a little bit to fill in,
but it's always been with Clint.
And I felt left out,
so I purposely booked him a Thermomix course,
which I knew he couldn't resist.
How's that going for him?
You know, he's a learner.
He's a beginner,
but that's what the course is for.
Yeah.
No, he's moving house at the moment.
But the weirdest thing is
I walked into the studio this morning
and because I've only ever filled in with Clint
I went to sit in your seat.
And I was like, Maddie
can you get off my lap please?
I went, oh God, sorry. I was like, I mean
I like it but you know, let's just
keep things, you know, workplace
health and safety. Yeah.
Yeah, you've got to be careful these days.
You do. I don't want to be cancelled
before I've even started the show.
Yeah, exactly.
How are you?
What's been happening?
I'm so good.
Yeah.
It's so nice to see you.
It's so nice to see you too.
How's the fiancé?
Wedding plans are well underway.
I'm going to talk about that a little bit later on in the show.
I can't wait to hear.
I've got a few ideas that I want to pitch to you for your wedding.
Great, because I need all the help I can get.
Although it is stressful because you go,
what do I need and what's not necessary?
Exactly right, because weddings can get out of hand.
Oh, tell me about it.
You know, I mean, they can go over the top.
You should see the list.
I can't wait to hear about that.
We'll do that just before four o'clock.
Also, Ed Sheeran tickets.
We've got a double pass to give away again on the show.
You just have to take down the biggest Ed Sheeran fan, Mama Di.
We'll do that just after Birthday Banger at 5.40.
We'll tell you about how you can come along to the Love Island finale party
we're hosting next week.
Are you going to come, Matty?
I'd happily come.
I'd love to see you.
Okay, great.
I'll come.
Perfect.
Bree and Clint. Clint away. Matty McLean happily come. I'd love to see you. Okay, great. I'll come. Perfect. Bree and Clint.
Clint away.
Matty McLean filling in.
Hi.
Do you know what?
For a little bit, I did have my own intro.
Did you?
I think it's disappeared into the ether.
We'll look for it.
It'll be in the system somewhere.
Thank you.
We'll dust it off.
It's time for Tradie versus Lady.
Bree and Clint.
Tradie versus Lady. Now, Clint. Tradies versus ladies.
Now, Maddie, I don't know what the scores were when you were filling in,
but the tradies have steamed ahead.
I will say this.
I do remember always having to say, come on, ladies.
We can do it.
Let's do it.
Oh, no, the ladies have had a few good comeback weeks,
but the tradies are currently sitting on 65 wins for the year,
and the ladies are on 51.
Look, there's still a long way to go.
Long way to go.
Christmas is still a few months away.
Exactly right.
They can do this.
And let's see who's going to be taking on who this afternoon.
Our lady, she's from Auckland.
She's 25, and she has two springer spaniels.
G'day, Maddie.
Oh, hold on. Hello, Maddie. We'veay Maddie. Oh, hold on.
Hello Maddie.
Hello. Hi. Yes she is.
How are you Maddie? I'm good.
How are the dogs?
They're good.
What are their names? I'm always interested in the
names. Miller and
Cleo. Oh those are cute
dog names. Very cute names.
Maddie, do you want to introduce our tradie and bring him on?
Our tradie for this afternoon is Zach.
He is from Tauranga.
He's 27.
And Zach, you've broken all of your fingers?
Yeah.
Every single one of them?
Yeah, not for a few years now.
I'm not on at the same time.
Right, okay.
How?
How did you do this?
Oh, I was just playing sport when I was a kid.
Oh, how horrible is it jarring a finger?
See, that's why you do drama at school, Zach.
I never broke a finger on the stage.
I don't know.
Fiddler on the roof can get pretty contact sport, if you ask me.
Okay, guys, here we go.
Maddie, your buzzer is lady.
Zach, your buzzer is tradie.
Buzz in when you know the answer.
First to three takes it out.
All right, question number one.
Joelle King and Tom Walsh have been announced as our Commonwealth Games flag bearers.
Is Tom Walsh a high jumper, a sprinter, or a shot putter?
Tradie.
Yes, Zach, you're in.
Shot putter. That is. Yes, Zach, you're in. Shot putter.
That is correct.
Nice work, Zach.
One point for the tradies.
Question number two.
It's been revealed Prince George, third in line to the British throne,
calls his dad Pops.
Who is Prince George's dad?
Lady.
Yes, Maddie.
William.
That is right. Nice work. Got it, Maddie. William. That is right.
Nice work.
Got it, Maddie.
You're in it.
We're off to a flyer.
Question number three.
Question number three.
Aussie TV show Neighbours is wrapping up its final ever episode.
Name the pop superstar that got her start on the iconic series.
Trady.
Yes, Zach.
Delta Goodwin.
We've got to take it.
I'll give it to them.
We also would have accepted Holly Valance.
Is it true?
She also got her start on Neighbours.
Pop superstar?
Okay, look.
She married a billionaire.
She's good.
She's sitting comfy.
All right, that means two to the tradies, one to the ladies.
Here comes question number four.
Buzz in, guys, when you can tell me who sings this song.
You like my hair.
Gee, thanks.
Just want it.
I see it.
I like it.
Yes, Zach, for the win.
Ariana Grande.
He's got it.
He's got it.
Nice work, Zach.
Very taut on the buzzer this afternoon.
50 bucks.
All thanks to KFC coming your way.
Awesome.
Thank you so much.
Bree and Clint.
New producer Claude brought up something before the show
which got us all talking about things we don't really believe in.
You know?
And we're not talking like ghosts or...
No, we're not talking about that.
They're obviously real.
Yeah, clearly.
Clearly.
I mean, I believe in ghosts.
Who here believes in ghosts?
Oh, God.
You are not non-believer.
No.
Non-believer?
No.
Producer Ella, yes or no?
Nah, not as in like the white ghost with sheets on it.
Casper.
Yeah, nah.
Sorry, Casper.
But what about like, you know, spirit?
No, I don't.
I just don't believe in any of that.
Interesting.
Yes.
So crystals, not for you.
Not for me.
Okay.
I did get sent one once.
Did you?
Yes.
I was going to lend you my crystals.
A friend gave it to me.
Okay, cool.
But Claudia, what were you talking about?
Because you called me out for something that I don't believe in.
I think you've said this a few times, but you said this a couple weeks ago
that you think vitamins are placebo.
Look, I have said that before.
I'm like, vitamins, I mean, take them or leave them.
I don't think it's going to matter too much.
What, you don't actually think it does anything?
Nah.
I kind of agree with you.
Do you?
Yeah.
Finally.
I think it's because you always see little kids with like the gummy vitamins
and I'm like, that's just a lolly.
Yeah.
You're just sucking on like a New Zealand lolly.
I used to eat like six vitamin Cs just because I felt like they were kind of like a lolly, you know.
But I think my take on it also is though,
if they make you feel better, like as a placebo
and you like taking them and you feel like they work,
then I mean, you do you boo.
Yeah, but you're kind of still sniggering behind the back.
Well, I'm like, waste of money.
Waste of money.
Well, it got me thinking about something that people say is true,
but I've never believed in it.
I've never thought this was real, but people say it definitely is.
Okay, I'm interested in this.
I just don't believe that women sync up.
I just think it's a lot of baloney.
I think there's times.
You think it's BS.
Yeah, I think it's complete baloney.
I think people at times have moments where they're in the same cycle.
Yeah.
But then everyone's cycle is different.
You can't be the same every single month.
You don't think the calendar and the moons have anything to do with women sinking up?
How long does a cycle last for?
Well, everyone's different.
Yeah, anywhere between like some people's 21 days.
Some people can be like 35.
So then the overlap in a month if it's like 21 days is surely.
Well, yes.
Can I just say, I mean, I went to a girls' boarding school
and it was very real when I lived in this boarding school
and I'm telling you now it was not a good week
when all the girls in year 12 were all living in the same area.
Hormonal teenagers.
Oh, it was a bad time.
I just don't think it's true though. I think because of the amount of time it takes to get
to your next cycle, you will eventually have months in a row that you'll be at the same time.
Yeah, right.
I don't think being around someone who also has a period is going to affect your body.
I mean, let's just throw it in there. Hormone's not real.
Not real either.
I'd like to discuss though, okay, fair enough.
I get where you're coming from.
What are other things we think are myths?
Okay, mine is not being able to use cell phones
on like a petrol station forecourt.
Yeah.
Come on.
We called a petrol station one time and asked.
And?
And they said, oh, it's in case, you know, you drop your phone
and it sparks and it starts a fire.
But you could drop anything and it could spark a fire.
I could drop my metal drink bottle.
While we're at it, I also don't believe on your phone must be on aeroplane mode when the plane takes off.
I mean, do you really think they're going to trust however many people on a plane to put all their phones on aeroplane mode?
And if they don't, the plane will be affected?
Will crash.
If that was true, if the plane could possibly crash, none of us would ever be able to get on with the phone.
Exactly.
They'd have to lock all the phones in a box.
Look at us, just busting myths.
We should start a show.
We should call it Mythbusters.
That's such a great idea.
Yeah, I mean, I just thought of it.
Yeah, that's really smart.
An original idea.
What about you, Producer Ella?
Do you want to add into this mythbusting?
Yeah, I'm really upset by this one.
As a kid, I believed it.
Now I don't.
That eating carrots help your eyesight.
It's not true.
It's like how bread crust makes your hair curly.
Also, I believed that.
Not true. Dead straight, my hair.
You know, if you
pull a face, it actually,
if the wind changes, it won't stay that way.
If you watch too much TV, your eyes will go square.
Yeah, I haven't watched TV. It's a myth.
It is a myth. Is it?
Your one was so innocent and cute.
But also, you are so gullible still to this day, right?
Yeah, definitely.
Do you know how great it's been since producer Ella has come onto the team?
Because I can just pull out all these new pranks and she falls for all of them.
It's been fantastic.
Oh, yeah, for you.
Yeah, no, for me.
Not so much you.
Bree and Clint. Okay, Anonymous, what. Not so much you. Bree and Clint.
Okay, Anonymous, what's the myth that you don't believe in?
Well, I have a brother and sister who are both pilots for an international airline.
Okay.
And she said that literally when they're taking off, they all send text messages.
So she said it's a total myth.
Wait, the pilots are sending text messages when they're taking off? So this is the concerning part.
Who's flying the plane? Oh, so they're doing it
while they're taking off? Yes. So it must be like some kind of autopilot
and stuff. No, we do it when we are
passengers. We do it when we are, yeah, so all the crew do it.
So we've just solved it as an actual mess.
That's so interesting.
I wonder what the fine is for texting while flying.
I don't know.
Do you mind if I take your number and I'm going to text you every time
I have a flight just to make sure your brother and sister
aren't the pilots taking off?
Absolutely.
I love you, Maddie.
I love you so much.
I love you too.
Well, then you can get good insight.
Exactly.
You know.
That's interesting.
Someone else has just texted through and they said,
I don't think that phone warning is actually at servos anymore.
Oh.
Yeah, someone else texted through and they said,
apparently the old phones used to create static electricity
and modern phones don't, So you can use them now.
Someone sits in and said Briscoe sales.
It's actually just the everyday price.
And I will say...
I mean, you know, they do have a lot of sales.
I went recently to buy a blender from Briscoe.
Yes.
And it said, I'm sure it said on the thing
that it was a 30 or 40% off sale.
I went up and they scanned it and it was full price. And I said, oh no, I'm sure it said on the thing that it was a 30 or 40% off sale. I went up and they scanned it and it was full price.
And I said, oh no, I'm pretty sure this one's on sale.
And he said, how much did the sign say?
I told him and he just typed that number into the system.
Call up the Briscoes lady right now.
Let's put this to bed.
Call her up.
There's a few more texts coming through.
Someone else said, I flew all the way to Singapore
without turning my phone onto flight mode.
Okay, well, there you go.
And nothing happened.
Jury's in.
Someone else said, I think it's a myth how the waves are affected by the moon.
No, that one's real.
Like the tide.
I think that's just science, isn't it?
I think that one might be real.
Well, there you go.
Myth busting this afternoon.
Very interesting. I love hearing
what other people think and sometimes
you think the same and it all
syncs up, Claudia.
It all syncs up. It's fake. Yeah, it does.
Someone did text in and said
I work in an office with
50 women. Definitely
some syncing going down.
Bree and Clint from iHeartRadio.
This is the latest
live from LA with
Dean McCarthy. Dean, I heard
Ed Sheeran has just hit another
mahoosive milestone.
What's he done?
Oh my goodness, he now has 100 million
followers on Spotify.
This is so enormous.
He's gone on social media.
Goodness me.
He is very popular.
I wouldn't have thought he'd have 100 million
Spotify followers. Is he that
popular? I mean, he's amazing.
He's that popular.
He wasn't before Taylor Swift.
His concert tour that he
did back in, I think,
2014 maybe maybe was the biggest selling concert tour of all time.
And he's so universal, you know?
Like he's just got a universal sound and he's loved across the world.
Yeah, like the mums love him, the teenagers love him,
the dads even love him.
The grandmas love him.
I'm just going to see,
how many followers do we think Ed Sheeran has on Instagram?
12.
Did you say 12?
12.
I may have grossly underestimated that.
What is it?
Yeah, so he's got 39.7 million followers on Instagram,
which means more followers on Spotify.
Well, I guess you follow him for his music.
Exactly.
His music game is better than his, you know, photo game.
What do you do with that, though, Dean?
What does that mean for him?
Well, I think it means making a ton of money.
When he releases new music and when he puts up new albums,
there's a hell of a lot of people that are going to know about it
and download it and pay for it.
Yeah, I don't know.
I guess they get, I don't know, you know, like those big Instagrammers
and those big social media people on Spotify,
they get this extra money from those platforms.
Yeah.
It's a whole other game.
So any day now we're going to get one of those photos
where he's blown up the balloons, the number balloons,
and he's going to stand in front of it.
I think that's what it means.
Yeah.
Well, good on Ed Sheeran.
And we can't wait to see him when he comes back to New Zealand for his mathematics tour.
I have got.
Oh, do you?
I have a dos, breaking dos for you.
Okay.
Only because you mentioned his tour and it was before Taylor Swift.
I just got into an elevator with this lady.
Oh, here we go.
With these bags.
She's carrying all these bags.
And I know her.
I didn't know what she does, but she has a Maserati.
Anyway, she's like, oh, I've been on set all day.
I'm like, oh, what are these old shoes?
And she's like, oh, I'm a set designer for music videos.
And I was like, oh, wow.
I've been on set for a Taylor Swift new music video.
What?
Say that again as I try to get my phone out.
I'm like, say that again.
Oh, my God.
So there you go.
So Taylor Swift has a new music video coming out.
Dean, the biggest Taylor Swift fan in the world, Megan Sager,
who works in the office, is going to be thrilled to know that.
She's going to fizz for that.
Well, there you go.
Taylor Swift, apparently.
You heard it here first.
That tiny bit.
New music coming out and Ed Sheeran making even more money than before.
That is the latest with Dean McCarthy, our Hollywood correspondent.
Brie and Clint.
Manny McLean filling in and I can't wait to hear about these wedding plans.
We're in the thick of it.
Yeah, because, I mean, it's fast approaching.
It really is.
Isn't it?
Because, I mean, when did you get engaged?
February.
Okay.
Yeah, and we're getting married.
By the end of the year, we will be married.
So less than a year to plan this big, fabulous wedding.
Well, we just figured no point waiting.
Because you and Ryan, your fiancé, have been together for how long?
Five, almost six years.
Yeah.
So, I mean, you know.
So just do it.
Let's get it done.
Just do it.
And we could get the venue on the date that we wanted. almost six years. Yeah. So, I mean, you know. So just do it. Let's get it done. Just do it.
And if you can,
we could get the venue on the date that we wanted
and so we just thought
let's just go for it.
I love that.
But it does mean
we've got some fast decisions to make.
Yes.
We do have a helping hand.
We've got a wedding planner
who's been incredible.
I love that you've got
a wedding planner.
So bougie.
Is it J-Lo?
I feel like such a dick for saying,
yeah, it is.
It's J-Lo.
It's J-Lo. That was such a good movie. She's so good. It's J-Lo. It's J-Lo.
That was such a good movie.
She's so good.
Yeah.
No, her name is Astrid and she's amazing.
But we sat down recently to kind of talk through some of the design aspects
and to sign off some of the things that she's put together for us.
What's she proposing, so to speak?
Well, she's proposed a lot of things in terms of floral arrangements.
She's proposed kind of caterers
entertainment
all of the big things
and then there are some small design elements
that she's proposed where I went
I don't know if we need this
Like what?
They're not even ridiculous
You tell me and I'll tell you if you need it
They're not even ridiculous things
I'm not talking like an ice sculpture or anything like that.
Okay.
But she did suggest that we get napkins for people while they're eating their food
and then monogram our initials onto the napkins.
Yes, you've got to do it.
If I know Ryan, your fiancé, it fits the bill.
Because he's extra.
Yeah, yeah, totally.
He's so extra. That fits the bill perfectly. That's so. Yeah, yeah, totally. He's so extra.
That fits the bill perfectly.
That's so funny because he's so understated.
And I just thought, do people, when they're wiping the mayonnaise off their mouths,
do they really need napkins with our initials monogrammed on them?
Yeah, I think you're right.
And what you're getting at is I think you need to take it a step further
and get your faces printed out. Because
I think that would be a nice touch.
Right. You know? So you're like, wait,
it's halfway
through the night, you've had a bit to drink, you go,
wait, whose wedding are we at?
And then you pick up the napkin and you go,
oh, that's right. I mean, you know, sometimes
people have a few too many lemonades.
I mean, sit on that one. What else
has she proposed? She proposed, they're all little cute things,
like little things that you can put in the,
little holders that you can put in your drink on top of the glass.
So you know it's yours.
So that you know that it's yours.
COVID safe.
Great.
But also, you know, you're paying big money for a wedding.
Do you really need to be paying extra for things like this?
This is where they get you.
She's earning a commission on all these things.
But then you look at it and you go, okay, it does look cute.
It is very cute.
It is very cute.
Look, I've got a few ideas that I thought I would pitch to you.
And you just tell me yes or no.
Perfect.
Because, I mean, you know, big fabulous wedding.
I think you've got to have a good idea for the rings.
I know you guys have Otis, your dog, but, I mean, it's been done.
He's in the wedding.
He's obviously a groomsman and he'll be there.
Clearly.
You know, he doesn't want to bring the rings down.
It's below him.
He doesn't want to do it.
I think you should dig a moat around, you know,
where the ceremony is happening and you train some swans, right?
And the swans come up and hand you the rings.
What do you think?
I'm in.
Yeah, good.
I'm so in.
That's a tick.
Let's mark that off.
As the celebrant, I don't know if you've picked it or not,
Hilary Barry.
Oh.
I mean, Hilary Barry.
Hilary Barry, hear me out. Hilary Barry. Oh. I mean, Hilary Barry. Hilary Barry, hear me out.
Hilary Barry in a tuxedo.
Oh, I mean, come on.
With a tiara.
Sex and the City movie number two, when Carrie was the celebrant.
I mean, come on.
Let's get it.
I'm here for it.
So that's a tick.
What about, I think both of you should ride down the aisle
on white horses.
Can you ride?
I can.
Not well.
No, but we're talking about riding a horse.
Okay, that's a no.
That's a no.
And I'll say why because I've seen one too many videos
on social media.
It went wrong.
Where it's gone terribly wrong.
See, that's good.
You're thinking about safety.
Yeah.
The last thing I'm going to suggest, you're both obviously going
to be in amazing tuxes.
I can already picture it.
But I think at a certain part of the night for the reception,
you change out into matching outfits kind of like the Backstreet Boys,
and you have a planned dance performance plan,
like to do for the whole, like the whole people, everyone there.
And it's like choreographed.
And then you obviously have like Tiki Tane come out and he sings
and you guys are the backup dancers.
Oh, my God.
Okay.
I'm into it.
Your voice says no.
I'm into it.
I'm just picturing Ryan's face when I start proposing
the swans that we need to train to float down the moat.
Okay.
Let's just go with Hilary Barry as the celebrant
and call it a day.
Sounds good, Maddie.
I can't wait to see it.
Good luck planning the rest of it.
Yeah, God, you've just hiked the price up considerably.
Mate, I think it'll be fantastic.
Maddie, so good to have you here
because I wanted to talk to you about something
that happened to me yesterday.
Okay.
And I needed to make a phone call to someone
that isn't in my regular, you know, kind of contacts. Right. So I went into my contact list and I was scrolling through, you know, trying to find the number. Yeah. And this person that I was trying to call, their name starts with N. So I was in the N names, you know and I accidentally clicked on a name and it came up on my phone and I was like oh
that's that's kind of awkward a little bit oh god was it an ex it was my nan's number oh
and it's not awkward I mean my nan passed away about um eight years ago. Right. Right. And her and I had a really good relationship.
We were like, you know, best mates.
She was a wonderful person.
But I was, I didn't even realise I still had that number on my phone.
And I had this weird thought where I was like, should I just call it?
And see what happens.
And see what happens.
Because my Nan was a bit of a prankster.
I kind of get it from her a little bit, you know.
And imagine, just imagine, and I know this is quite dark humour,
but she just picks up and she goes, what are you doing?
Psych.
Psych.
Gotcha.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
Like it was just a weird thought that I had and I kind of want to call it.
And see what happens.
And just see what happens. Because producer Claude
you said something quite interesting
because we were talking about this before the show.
Yeah. So my mum passed away
like 10 years ago. Yeah.
I got her phone number. So you took
over your mum's phone number?
Yeah. Because her number was way cooler than mine.
So I was like I'll just take it. Obviously no one's using it. I'll have it.
Yeah. And so I get calls for her all the time
and I get people like her brother.
So my uncle.
Any interesting calls?
Well, my uncle messaged with like a song
and just a piece of a song.
Yeah.
Really strange.
And so I replied being like, oh, what's that?
And he was like, oh, I'm sorry.
This was my sister's phone.
And I was like, I know. Hey, it's Claudia. Your niece. Yeah. I was like, i'm sorry this is this was my sister's phone and i was like i know hey
it's claudia your niece yeah i was like hey it's claudia and so he was like oh it's nice to meet
you claudia well this a similar thing happened with ryan my partner my my partner's mum died a
few years ago and his sister would every once in a while just call to hear the voicemail.
Oh yeah, I know lots of people do that.
I did that for a while with my nan
actually. And then one time she called it
and it did ring and someone
else, they'd given out the number
eventually to someone else. Because they do
do that, don't they? You know, they reuse
numbers. Totally, enough time had passed.
And did they talk?
I think she hung up but she got so freaked out because it started to ring.
So this could happen with your nan. It could. We could
call and someone else might answer. Or. No one answers.
The biggest, longest prank in the
world. God, you'd have to applaud it.
Yeah, you would. I mean, I'd be like, oh, Nan, you got me good.
You got me so good. And that is so her sense of humour. Okay,
I reckon we should call it. Let's just call it, see what happens. Probably nothing will happen.
But I already, I'm a little bit emotional.
Is that weird? No, it's not weird at all. Okay, alright. I've got my phone here.
The number's here. Everyone can see.
Yeah.
All right, here we go.
Putting in the call now.
Oh, my God.
What is going to happen here?
It's not doing anything.
The person you're calling cannot be reached at this time.
Please try again later.
Well, I'm probably not going to try again later.
But, hey, now I know.
Now I know.
It wasn't a prank.
It wasn't a prank, but it would have been a hell of a prank.
RIP, Nan.
RIP, Nan.
I love you wherever you are, you funny woman, you.
Bree and Clint.
I'm very excited about this, Maddie,
because when I was away and you were filling in for me,
I followed the journey of you and Nathan Foley from High Five connecting.
It was a real journey as well.
It was.
A roller coaster, I would say.
Because what exactly happened?
I told the story about how we had actually had Nathan Foley
on Breakfast as a guest remotely.
So I hadn't met him in person.
Someone else had interviewed him via Zoom on Breakfast.
And I told Clint the story about how I had a massive crush
on Nathan Foley when I was a kid.
It was your sexual awakening.
It was my sexual awakening, watching Nathan Foley on Hi5.
Mine was Kim Possible, but whatever.
She was hot. She was hot.
She was hot.
Still is.
Yeah.
And anyway, I told the story on air and Clint had lined up Nathan Foley to be listening
on air while I told the story.
Tricky.
You haven't done this again to me, have you?
Well, please welcome to the show.
No, I'm just kidding.
No, but I told the story. And anyway nathan was such a good sport about it
and um he ended up following me on instagram which i mean 13 year old me was going crazy
35 year old me was going crazy uh and anyway that's kind of been it and and nothing's really
happened nothing's really happened you followed each other on i mean you probably already followed
him i definitely followed him and um he followed you on Instagram and that was it. Yeah. And anyway,
this morning I open up my Instagram DMs and what do I see? Stop. But I say, I see Nathan's name at
the top of my DM inbox and it said two new messages. Not one, but two.
Nathan Foley had slid into my DMs.
Oh my God, I can't wait to hear.
Are you going to read this out? I need to know what he said.
He sent me
a photo.
Oh, you can't show me that. That's inappropriate.
It was a photo
of me sitting
on the couch on breakfast.
Or stalking you on the TV.
And so I said, and he just waved.
Oh, so that was the two messages.
Yeah.
So he was, is he in New Zealand?
I said, are you in New Zealand?
He said, I sure am.
Here to film two new music videos.
I leave next Tuesday.
And he just left it
at that. And I've left him on
scene. I haven't replied
because I don't know what to do. Oh my god, oh my god, we have to
reply to him. We have to reply.
You have to go out for a drink.
Should I? Like, I feel
like you owe it to 12 year old
you. I mean, just as
friends or whatever, but to
go out and meet him in person.
It would be a dream come true.
You should message him back.
I mean, I think you should message him back and be like,
hey, but just keep it real casual.
Like, okay, so let's all just think
about this message. He's probably listening to the radio
right now.
Imagine. If that's the case, you're not
playing it cool. Just play it really cool, but like,
oh, that's, you know.
I'll say, oh, awesome.
If you've got any spare time, we should catch up for a drink.
Got any, oh, God.
That's it.
And then just leave it.
Oh, my God.
Are you going to send it right now?
I'm fangirling.
Should I?
You should just send it.
Just do it.
Okay.
I said, oh, awesome.
If you've got any spare time, let me know.
We should catch up for a drink.
Okay.
Because or else it sounds like, you know.
I'm offering to take him back to my house or something.
Yeah, it's just weird.
You're like, we should go out for a drink.
And it just keeps it casual.
Ha, ha, ha, ha.
Did he reply?
No, I've sent it.
I've just sent it.
I've sent it. I've sent it. I've sent it. I've just sent it. I've sent it.
I've sent it.
I've sent it.
Okay, you've sent it.
It's done.
Hopefully, we have an update before the end of the show.
But now I'm thinking, has this happened to anyone else?
Has anyone else slid into a celebrity's DMs before?
And got a reply?
And got a reply.
How did it go?
Yes.
Whose DMs did you slide into?
Or maybe they slid into yours. or maybe they slid into yours maybe they
slid into yours yeah i mean it's happened to me channing tatum of course he did channing tatum

offering a bigger sale but maybe by the end of the show i might have an update for you okay cool
i'm excited about that producer ella you said you DM'd A celebrity one time
Yeah
I was quite obsessed
With PJ Harding
In like high school
And uni
And what did you
Was it

Oh it was bad
What did you say
I'm looking back
I don't remember this
But I said

At B school
And absolutely died
Did you find sales hard?
This was about uni that she went to as well.
Trying to find equal ground.
Common ground.
Yeah, common ground.
Yeah, and then, oh, I had a few drinks here.
I said, stunning boo.
Replying to a story.
Stunning boo.
Yeah, no, no, no, boo.
I was like, that's a bit forward.
Did she ever reply to you?
She actually did a few times.
And then I at one time interviewed her and she was like, oh, my gosh, you're Ella the Gator.
And I was like, oh, no.
You're very.
Hey, well, she replied.
You're all good.
Let's go to the phones.
Tony, have you DM'd a celeb before?
Yeah.
Hey, Brie.
Hey, Manny.
How are you guys?
Good.
Thank you, Tony.
I'm interested to know who was it.
Yeah, so Jamie Curryie. Hey, Maddie. How are you guys? Good, thank you, Tony. I'm interested to know who was it. Yeah, so Jamie Currie messaged me.
What?
Yeah, so New Zealand celebrity Jamie Currie
ended up messaging me
because I liked one of her photos.
No way.
And what happened?
Well, because I also knew her mutual friend,
which was Jamie McDowell.
Oh.
Yeah, so basically, we organised to meet up at KFC in Auckland.
And so, yeah, so we met up and she was with Jamie McDowell
and one of the fans recognised us.
They go, oh, there's Jamie Carr and Jamie McDowell
and they decided to ambush us.
So we all had to leave the KFC and run down the road.
So you got a little glimpse into the fame, Tony.
Yeah, well, hey, I had a little bit of fame.
I was a celebrity for a couple of years.
That's so cool.
I thought I was especially mad, you know.
It was like you on The Breakfast Show, Maddie.
You know, like you must get people saying, oh, Maddie, Maddie, you know.
So it's kind of an autograph.
Oh, his phone's been blowing up the whole time.
I'm still waiting.
I'm like, turn down your sound.
We know you're famous.
Like, give it up.
Let's go to one more call.
Rachel, g'day, mate.
Hello.
How are you?
Good, thanks.
Who was it that you DM'd?
It was actually you, Bree.
Me?
Yes.
Did I reply?
Have we spoken?
Well, so it's a bit of a background story,
but my son voted for you in Friday Oki one day.
I do recall.
My best friend.
Yes, your best friend, Zaya.
I do recall Zaya.
And we sent you a photo in February and said,
thank you so much.
It was his birthday.
And he harped on at me for months.
Has Bree replied?
Has she replied?
And then I messaged you and I said, Bree,
are you pulling a Channing Tatum on me?
And it came up.
Oh, no, Rachel.
I can't believe I've done that.
No, wait.
Bree, you apologise to Rachel right now Oh my best
He's my best mate

We're going to see her
Bless
Hey Rach can you message me
I'm so sorry
I do
I'm so bad with messages and I lose messages.
Can you message me straight after this and I'll send him a little video
to make up for it?
No, she's going to leave you unseen again, Rach.
Don't fall for it.
No trust now.
No, come on.
Let me build back that trust, Rach.
I'm pretty sure you were away at the time maybe filming for Shortland Street.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Let's just say
I'm so sorry, Rach. But yeah, DM me

What's happened?
He's replied! No, he hasn't!

Tonight?
Is it on tonight?
He said, I said, awesome.
If you've got any spare time for a drink, let me know.
What did he say?
For sure, mate.
I'll be in touch.
Oh, my God.
I wish he wasn't married.
I mean, and you've got a boyfriend.
I mean, you know, hey.
Hey. But hey, it's've got a boyfriend. I mean, you know, hey. Hey.
But hey, still pretty cool.
Kids can dream.
I can't wait to hear about your crazy night tomorrow on the show.
Can't wait.
Once upon a time, there was a girl.
She was smart, debatable, talented, eh, athletic.
Not really.
But picking a movie title based on just the plot line, that she can do.
Free and Clint's What's The Plot?
Welcome, Maddie.
You look so serious. You've got game face on.
I do because this is the only talent I have in life.
And I feel like I have a responsibility to play with everything I've got. Because, I mean, you're a
competitive guy and so am I and this is where I go head to head with
people trying to guess movie plot lines the fastest.
And here's the thing, because I've never been in the studio live when you've done this, but I've listened
on the radio in my car and I've always thought,
I think I'd be quite good at this.
Yes.
And then I listen to you do it and I go, there's no way.
You're so fast.
It's my only talent.
You're so fast.
But now you could have jinxed me and I might go down
in a blaze of glory and that could be Laura to take me down.
Hello, Laura.
Hi, how are you going?
Good, thanks, mate.
Have you played along in the car before? I have. How do you go?
Yeah, mostly okay. You're pretty fast,
though. No, I like that, Laura. You're humble. It's a quiet
confidence about Laura. Alright, Producer Claude, you are going to
run the game this afternoon because there's no Clint. So
Laura, you buzz in with your name when you think you know the movie
and I'll do the same. First to get two plots right
wins. 400 bucks up for grabs. 400. It's a good amount.
So I've gone with a theme this week since our good friend Clint is moving house.
The theme is movies about moving house. There's a lot of movies about that?
They're not necessarily about moving house. Okay's a lot of movies about... They're not necessarily about moving house.
Okay.
It's part of the plot.
You'll see.
It's a light theme.
It is a loose theme.
Okay.
Okay, so here is your first movie.
Moving in from Chicago,
Ren is shocked when he discovers
the small Midwestern town he now calls home
has made dancing and rock music illegal.
Brie, footlo illegal. Brie.
Footloose.
Got it.
Oh, Laura, you're so close.
That was really close.
Well done, Laura.
I feel like we got it at the exact same time.
Very close. Okay, one point for Brie.
Laura, you need this one.
Yeah.
Carl, a balloon salesman.
Laura.
Laura.
Up. Oh, good for youman. Laura. Laura. Up.
Oh, good for you, Laura.
I'll clap that.
See, that's about moving house.
It's a house that is moving.
Moving.
Gosh.
I see what you're doing.
I see where you're going with that.
You're tricky, Carl.
Laura, well done.
I'm scared now.
Laura, very good for you.
My partner's in my throat.
It's $400 on the line plus bragging rights.
And you've got one in the bag now, Laura. So you know you can do this. It's in my throat. It's 400 bucks on the line plus bragging rights.
And you've got one in the bag now, Laura.
So you know you can do this.
Okay.
Oh, no.
We're one all.
We both need this one.
Okay, you guys ready?
I'm ready.
I'm so nervous now.
The Perrons have recently moved into a secluded farmhouse where a supernatural presence has made itself...
Oh, this could be a bunch of things.
I'm going to say The Conjuring.
Oh!
You got it.
I'm so sorry, Laura.
That was a complete guess.
Oh, Laura, you did so well.
50 KFC chicken dollars I'm going to award you.
That was an amazing effort.
Awesome.
Thank you.
Thanks for playing, Laura.
How do you do it?
That was a complete guess.
I was going to go with a few different ones.
And to be honest, The Conjuring is one of the only scary movies
that I've been able to sit through.
Because after that, I could not sleep from it.
That's the one that turned you off, though.
Quite alarming.
My partner heard a story from this woman who,
they're going on a family trip to Fiji.
They've got their accommodation and all that sorted.
And my partner said, what about, you know, your flights?
And she said, no, we always book our flights the day before.
That just drives me insane.
Freaks me out.
Freaks me out.
Like it's stressful.
And I'm not a crazy pre-planner.
No, you're a month in advance.
But there's got to be some sense of stability.
You've got to know that you're going to get on the flight,
that you're going to make it to your destination.
And it's the whole family.
Maybe a few of you will get a seat and some might not.
But then, I mean, you just obviously shuffle who you want to go.
Exactly.
Sorry, Dad, you've got to stay behind this time.
Sorry, Dad, there's no extra seats.
We're asking you guys, though, on 0800DIAL behind this time. Sorry, Dad, there's no extra seats. Oh, whoops.
We're asking you guys, though, on 0800DIALZM,
how long do you leave it?
And let's talk to Katie.
G'day, Katie.
Hi.
What's it like for you in your world?
Do you leave it a long time and book at the last minute or do you book way in advance?
I would like to be a person who didn't book it so late but I'm like a student and don't
have money. Gotcha. Yeah, my partner and I, we were
flying down to Invercargill from Wellington and it cost us $650
each because we left a week before we went. You're
joking. See, this is the problem. This is what gets me
is if you just were a little bit more organised and I'm joking. See, this is the problem. This is what gets me, is if you just were a little bit more organised,
and I'm not great, but if you just were a little bit more organised,
you'd be able to save yourself so much money.
Katie, that's why you have no money.
I know, I know.
I know, Kate.
I mean, isn't it a bad cycle because you don't have the money,
so that's why you don't book the flights.
You know?
And then you leave it late.
It all comes back around.
Hey, a lot of great texts coming through on this.
Someone said,
my partner and I went to Mount Ruapehu a few weeks ago,
went up the mountain to assess the snow situation.
There was none.
So we went into the cafe on the mountain
and booked accommodation and flights for a few hours later
down to Christchurch,
landed that day and spent the following day skiing at
Mount Hutt.
How good.
Well, it's smart.
If there's no snow and you want to go skiing, you go with the snowers.
I mean, so smart.
I'd love to be with someone who is just like that.
Spontaneous.
Yeah.
Let's just book flights and go to Mount Hutt.
Let's talk to Paul.
G'day, Paul.
Hey.
Are you a planner, Paul, or are you a last-minute booker?
Very much last-minute, I'd say.
How last-minute are we talking?
The worst one was in 2018 when the football cup was in Russia.
And I booked a flight six hours before the plane took off.
To Russia, Paul!
But basically because I'm originally from Germany, flight six hours before the plane took off. To Russia, Paul! But like,
yeah, no, basically because I'm
originally from Germany, yeah, and so
if Germany had lost that
match that was playing that night,
that would have been out of the World Cup,
so there was no real point to go.
Oh, you're a true football fan, Paul,
aren't you?
Oh, it's alright. But like, yeah, so then
they won the game game and then i booked
the flight and the only plane that was going there was leaving in six hours to kazan and so then yeah
i just pretty much booked that then got to the airport but then i realized that i didn't have
any accommodation or anything like that and so i was sitting in the dubai transfer lounge
and uh sitting there going like oh, because I'd totally forgotten about accommodation.
And so I went on to like...
Easy thing to forget about, you know.
And stuff like that. And it was all sold out because obviously it was the World Cup and stuff.
And so I thought about it for like a while and then I was like, oh, hang on a minute. So for like $14.99,
you can buy a subscription to Tinder Plus, yeah, and then you can change your location
to Kazan in Russia.
Paul, where is this going? Paul, I already know what's happening here.
Every single person, yeah, and then send them the same copy-pasted message saying that you're
Paul, you sound like a nightmare.
You dirty dog, Paul.
You dirty dog. I hope
your team loves. I'm just kidding.
I'm just kidding. Anonymous
is on the phone. Hi, Anonymous. Hi, Anonymous.
Hi.
You've booked a flight really last
minute. Yeah, we
are pretty bad at booking flights
like last minute, maybe like a week or two out. But there's one time me and my Yeah, we are pretty bad at booking flights like last minute, maybe like a week or two
out. But there was one time
me and my partner, we
decided that we wanted to go to a function with all our
friends. So we just walked into Queensland
Airport, walked in, walked up to
the desk and they charged like a horrific
booking fee. So we just jumped on the
New Zealand app and booked it. And I think
the flight flew out in like two hours or something
like that. And we just booked a return of flight. And is think the flight flew out in like two hours or something like that. No way. And we just booked
a return of flight.
And is it just because
you're spontaneous?
That, wait, yes, it was.
That was very spontaneous.
Or, Anonymous,
were you a little bit drunk?
Oh, I wish.
I say on the flight home,
I was still pretty,
pretty tipsy.
Right.
Anonymous,
I say good on you.
So you tried,
they tried to go in and book at the desk, but couldn't on you. So they tried to go in and book
at the desk but couldn't do it so they
just booked it on the app. Yeah, well the booking
at the desk actually has a massive
fee on it. So if you walk in
to the airport to book at the desk
you do get charged like an extra fee or you
can just jump on the app and book it
that way. So
we just jumped on the app and booked it that way.
Some great tips and thanks Anonymous for calling by the way. So we just jumped on the app and booked it that way. We're getting all the tips and tricks. Some great tips. And thanks, Anonymous, for calling, by the way. We've got a text here
from a flight attendant who says, sometimes it doesn't pay off buying the cheaper ticket
too far ahead because in a situation where the flight is oversold and they have to offload
passengers, they offload the passengers with the cheapest fare and ticket type first.
Can you imagine?
They come out and they go, right, everyone, the flight's been oversold.
So all the peasants that have bought the cheapest tickets,
we're kicking you off.
Bree and Clint.
It's time for, honestly, one of my favourite parts of the show. I'm so glad you love it.
Yeah, it is time for Birthday Banger.
It's my birthday, it is time for Birthday Banger. I think it's what I love about it is that
I feel like people listen to the show
and they desperately want to know
what their birthday banger is. You really want
to know. And so I love being able to deliver
that for people. It's nice, isn't it? It's a
nostalgia thing. Totally. Because you call
us up, you tell us your birthday
and we tell you what was the song that was top of the charts
when you were 16.
And so you immediately flash back to like Vodka Cruises
and your parents' garage.
And just having a good time.
And having a good time.
Yeah.
Let's do that for a few people right now.
Let's go to Shaina.
G'day, Shaina.
Hi. Hello, mate. How are you? Good. How are you guys?
Good, thanks. Have you been waiting a while to find out your birthday banger?
Oh, yeah, I have been, but that's all right. I'm only driving home.
Today's the day. Today is the day. Right, we need your birthday first.
My birthday is the 16th of August, 95. Oh, it's coming up.
You were 16 in 2011.
And on the 16th of August in 2011, this would have been number one.
Thank you.
Mr Saxo B.
I believe by Alexandra Stan.
Right.
I haven't heard that song in a long time.
That's the whole point, right?
It takes you right back though, right?
Hey, I think you've got a good one, Shaina.
I like it.
But we'll see what else we've got.
See if it can win.
Let's go to Margaret.
Hello, Margaret.
Hi, Margaret.
Margaret, how's your day going?
Yeah, good.
I'm just coming back from school, late meeting.
Oh, good, Margaret.
Well, I'm glad you've called in.
I'm excited.
What's your birthday?
A little bit ancient.
I'm 3rd of March, 1975.
Not ancient, Margaret.
Not at all.
These are the best ones.
And you were 16 in 1991.
And let me take you back to your 16th birthday
because this would have been on top.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
Got to make you sweat, Margaret.
What do you think?
I'm pretty sure he still listens to it.
Like, me, like, just goes into it.
Yeah, I bet you did, Margaret.
Absolutely.
CC Music Factory.
That's such a good one, Margaret.
See, I told you.
It's a high bar this week.
It is very high.
Both really good songs.
Let's see what Ruth has got.
Hello, Ruth.
Hi.
How's your day been, Ruth?
Yeah, really good, thanks. Oh, good to hear. How's your day been, Ruth? Yeah, really good, thanks.
Oh, good to hear.
What's your birthday?
20th of the 10th, 1983.
I have a feeling this is going to be a good one, too.
You were 16.
I think so, too.
In 1999, Ruth.
And on the 20th of October in 99, this had a number one hit.
A little bit of Monica in my life.
Oh, yeah. A little bit of Monica in my life. Oh, yeah.
A little bit of Erica by my side.
A little bit of Rita's all I need.
A little bit of Tina's what I see.
Mumbo number five, Lou Bega.
I mean, banger.
Absolute banger.
That's a good one, right, Ruth?
Yeah, definitely.
I remember it well.
This is going to be hard. I'm interested. What would you pick out of the three, Ruth? Yeah, definitely. I remember it well. This is going to be hard.
I'm interested.
What would you pick out of the three, Ruth?
Oh, I'm tossing up between mine and Margaret's,
but I think it would probably be mine.
Okay, all right.
Well, we need to deliberate now, Maddie McLean.
We need to see if our music taste is in line.
Okay, I know what my... Should we do it on the count of three?
Okay. Okay, on the count of three? Okay.
Okay, on the count of three, say the name of the song.
One, two, three.
Gonna make you sweat.
I knew, I knew we were in tune with each other.
I think we were.
Here we go.
Here's your birthday banger.
For a Thursday, gonna make you sweat.
On ZM with Brian Clint, Manny McLean, fill in there.
Congratulations, Margaret.
Yeah, Margaret.
Margaret, going to make you sweat on this one.
Let's do it right now here.
What an absolute banger, going to make you sweat.
We made the right call.
We made the right call.
And it was a high bar.
It was a high bar today.
Yeah, number five, tune.
You don't normally get three absolute stone cold bangers, do you?
But I'm happy with that one.
Yeah, that's your birthday banger for this afternoon,
Manny McLean and me in tune with each other.
We were and we looked at each other dead in the eyes and it just.
I just knew.
It was there.
I could feel it in my waters that we were sinking up, you know,
as producer Claude says.
Stop it.
We've sinked up before, you and I.
Yeah.
Haven't we?
Regularly.
Regularly we sink up.
Bree and Clint.
I saw an article recently Joni Mitchell...
Oh, Joni Mitchell.
...sung one of her very iconic songs at a concert in the US.
Okay.
And she's such an emotional singer.
So emotional.
I'm thinking of the scene from Love Actually.
Where Emma Thompson's character stands in the room listening to Joni Mitchell and she just breaks down.
Balling her eyes out.
And so you get it, right?
You listen to a song like that and you just cry.
Isn't it amazing how music can do that to you?
Like that's when you know someone has got something special,
when they can evoke that emotion.
And so Winona Judd, who's a very famous singer from the Judd family in the US,
was at the concert on stage with Joni Mitchell and started ugly crying, like bawling her eyes out
listening to Joni Mitchell.
And she said at the time, afterwards, she said,
I was so embarrassed that I was doing this kind of heaving
and sobbing.
Yeah.
But the response online has just been overwhelming going,
yes, ugly cry.
Get that ugly cry out.
You know?
Yeah.
I find it, have you ever seen yourself ugly cry?
Yes, you've seen me ugly cry.
I have seen you ugly cry.
You're quite cute when you ugly cry.
So I'd say it's a cute cry.
I got eliminated off Treasure Island and the first person I saw afterwards was you
and I just bawled.
And we just embraced and I held
you for probably way too long
and it was a nice moment actually.
Are you a crier? I'm such
a crier. I cry at everything
Maddie. I cry like
a sad movie I'll cry, a sad
song I'll cry. When I talk
to my mum if she says something nice to me
I'll cry. Everything.
And you said you think we should do a cry-off.
Well, I think I can cry pretty easily.
Do you think you can cry on cue?
I don't think I can.
I think I could try.
Give it a go.
All right, so, okay, let's just give it a go here.
We need some sad music.
Yeah.
Okay, what are you thinking?
Maybe some Coldplay or...
Coldplay would be good.
Producer Claude, have you...
Okay, you ready?
How long are we going to give it?
A minute, Claude?
I think, yeah, a minute's good.
All right, a minute.
I'm thinking of...
I just...
Everything that's just...
I'm thinking about the time.
Gone wrong in my life.
You know what I'm thinking about?
I'm thinking about how long I couldn't see my family for over COVID.
I'm trying.
They feel... Nothing, nothing's coming.
Oh, my God, something's coming for you.
They feel weird. Oh, you're, something's coming for you. They feel weird.
Oh, he's actually crying.
Wait.
Wait, you're tearing up too.
I've got a tear in my left eye.
I just...
Maddie.
I feel like I need to give you a hug.
Now I just feel like I look just constipated.
You are bright red.
Have you got any tears?
They're wet.
My eyes are wet, but I haven't had a tear drop yet.
Neither.
No, nothing. I think if I really sat and concentrated, I probably could cry.
But, I mean, you're an actor.
You went to drama school.
Oh, my God.
Come on, bring it.
Bring the waterworks.
Damn it.
Every time I think I'm going to...
Okay, ready, ready?
Let me put you in a situation.
It's your wedding day.
Your fiancé, Ryan. You've waited six years for this moment
to show that you truly love each other.
Back in the day, you couldn't even get married.
But look how far we've come.
And he doesn't turn up.
And it's all over.
I'm going to find you guys some food.
The tears are flowing.
They're coming.
They're coming out.
Well, there you go.
The cry of.
Let's go get this.
Now it's cleaned up.
Okay, cool.
