The ZM Podcast Network. ZM, Brie and Clint. G'day everybody and welcome to the Brie and Clint show. Happy Monday guys. Nelson in Auckland, hope you're enjoying your long weekend. No, we're happy to be here. Happy. Feels like lockdown here in ZM at the moment.

There is not one other person in this building. I parked in Mike Hosking's car park. Did you? Yeah, because you can park wherever you want. There is nobody here. There is literally no one. We actually got a car park downstairs. Yeah.

And the roads are empty. It's eerily similar to lockdown. Everyone's at home having barbecues and drinks, living it up. But not us. And probably not you if you're listening. You're hard at work. Don't worry, we've got you. We've got your back.

Good day to be listening though because less people are, but we are giving away tickets to Macklemore Live in New Zealand with Macklemore or Macklerless just after 3.30. People will say that it's not an original game and it has a lot of similarities to the game higher or lower, but no it's a completely original game

made up by us. Two free tickets to go and see that show coming up just after 3.30 this afternoon, but first we're going to play Tradie vs Lady. So if you would like $50 cash thanks to KFC, you should call us right now. 0800 DIAL ZM is the number. We would love to have you

on this afternoon. Give us a call now. Bree and Clint. It's Tradie versus Ladies. 3, 2, 1, let's go. The Tradies and the Ladies. We're all tied up in the series

for 2024. Five games apiece. Two weeks in, can't separate them. Let's go to our lady first. She's in Auckland. She's 27 and she plays competitive laser tag. Welcome to the show, Danielle. Hi, Danielle.

Hi. That's awesome. What do you mean by competitive laser tag? Is there prize money? Do you have like a squad that you play with? Yeah, so I've got a team. There's seven of us. And yeah, we try and play every week.

That's so cool. How fun. We're just trying to lock in our tradie at the moment. Have we lost our person? Have we? No, we've got him. Okay, we've just got him locked in now. Our tradie is calling from New Plymouth, the 32,

and they're a jack of all trades, but a master of none. Welcome to the show, Ben. Hey, guys. G'day, Ben. I like it. A little bit of everything. What would you say is your best skill, though, your best trade? Just a bit of an entrepreneur, people person.

He's a hustler. I see. I see. He's a wheeler dealer. Ben, your buzzer is tradie. Danielle, your buzzer is lady. First to three correct answers gets $50 cash from KFC. Good luck. Here we go, guys. Question number one. The line

to be or not to be comes from which Shakespearean play? Have a guess. If you don't know it, have a guess. Lady you don't know it, have a guess. Lady. Yes, Danielle. Othello.

No, good guess. I mean, good guess. Ben, throw out a Shakespearean play. I wouldn't even know a single one. Not even Romeo and Juliet. Oh, yeah, go there. No. We were looking for Hamlet.

And to be honest, I'm not mad at either one of you for not knowing that. Question number two. Louis Armstrong was a master of which brass instrument? Have a guess. Have a guess. Ladies? Yes, Danielle. The clarinet? No.

Ben? Saxophone? Oh, God. Ladies? Yes, Danielle. The clarinet? No. Ben? Mmm, saxophone? Oh, it's so close. It was the trumpet. I think a clarinet's a woodwind too, by the way, not a brass instrument. Yeah, not a brass instrument. But that's all right.

No points there. Question number three. Buzz in, guys, when you can tell me who sings this song. Yes, Danielle. Taylor Swift. It is, of course, Taylor Swift. She's on the board with one. Question number four.

Which national sports team does Ruby Tui play for? One. Yeah, Bin. Ennis? No. Danielle? Like football, soccer? No.

We're looking for the Black Ferns, the rugby Black Ferns. No points there. Still one point to the ladies. Question number five. Name two ingredients in bread. Ladies. Yes, Danielle. Yeast and flour.

Well done. She's got that. She's one away from the win. You need this one, Ben, to stay in it. Question number six. Which US state is the only one to grow coffee beans? Is it Utah, Hawaii or California? Trady. Yes, Ben.

Utah. Incorrect, Danielle. Your choices are Hawaii or California. Hawaii. She's got the win. She's a lady. She's a lady. What a ropey old game of tradie versus lady,

but we found our winner in the end. It's you, Danielle. Congratulations. Yay, thank you. No worries. We'll get that 50 bucks out to you. Sweet as. Ben, when you said you were the master of none,

I didn't think you were that serious about it. I didn't think you were zero points serious about it. He's an honest man. He's an honest man. Bree and Clint. Shocking news for the Stanley drink bottle wielding girlies this afternoon. It's in the news.

It's headlines. There is some lead sealed somewhere inside your Stanley drink bottle. Lead. Yeah, but it's safe. Is it? Well, I don't know. Why is it in there? Why is there lead in my drink bottle?

I don't know. I'm meant to be using this drink bottle for health and wealth. I mean, health and like. You don't even have one. I know. I'm playing the part of a Stanley drink bottle user. Okay, right. None of us have got Stanleys, eh?

Nah. You don't even have a drink bottle. Nah, I go old school glass. Don't pretend you're old school. You lost your drink bottle. There is some lead sealed in the base of a lot of, to be fair, a lot of insulated drink bottles. But the most popular one at the moment is the Stanley.

No word on the Frank Green in this article, which makes me think it's not in there, but it's been confirmed there the moment is the Stanley. No word on the Frank Green in this article, which makes me think it's not in there, but it's been confirmed there is someone in the Stanley. According to their manufacturer, Pacific Market International, it said lead is used as part of the tumbler's vacuum insulation and is covered by a stainless steel layer that protects customers from lead exposure. Rest assured, there is no lead present on the surface of any Stanley product

that comes into contact with the consumer nor the contents of the product. So it's sealed in the butt of the Stanley somewhere. In the bottom insulation. Did you see that video of that girl that had, I can't remember if it was a Stanley or if it was a Frank Green or what it was. It was one of them. Yeah. And she bought, she like got this new water bottle and she'd been using it for two weeks. I can't remember if it was a Stanley or if it was a Frank Green or what it was. It was one of them. And she bought, she got this new water bottle and she'd been using it for two weeks.

And then she realised, she was like, this tastes a bit weird. And she's opened it up to have a look inside. And there's like a little user manual that's inside the bottle. And she hadn't taken it out. And then it had stuck up onto the side and then it started disintegrating and she'd been drinking it. She's drinking printing ink. What's worse for you, lead or printing ink?

Oh, both are great, I don't think. The lead is used as like a solder to weld the wall and the lining of the cup together. That's why it's in there. But it's old school. They shouldn't be doing it anymore. Like there's plenty of other things you can use instead of lead these days. Or maybe they don't work as well.

Maybe they don't work as well. Mate, you know, so we're doing renovations on this house that we bought last year. And one thing we kind of wanted to, because we want to keep some stuff that's original to the house because it's like 100 years old. And I said to the electrician, I was like, I'd really like to keep this because it's got an old school doorbell. Oh, yeah. Like old school.

And I said, can we keep it? And he goes, oh, they're a bit of a nightmare to rewire and, you know, quite difficult because they just don't make these anymore. No, yeah. He goes, they're actually run on mercury. And then he opens this doorbell up and he goes, look, there's the mercury. And I was like, geez, we've come a long way, haven't we? Yeah, might just get a ring doorbell, to be honest.

Might just get a new one, eh? Might get a new one. Yeah. Brian, keep those asbestos ceilings, though. No, they're nice. Oh, you can't buy those. They're lovely. They add character to the room.

They're lovely. Yes. And keep the lead pipes, too. I like the lead pipes as well. It's like a Stanley drink bottle built into your house. Keeps the water nice and cool. Makes're lovely. They add character to the room. They're lovely. Yes. And keep the lead pipes too. I like the lead pipes as well. It's like a Stanley drink bottle built into your house. Yes. Keeps the water nice and cool. Makes you tougher. I want to talk about the Mona Lisa. Have you guys seen the news? No. What's she done? It's been defaced.

What? The Mona Lisa, the famous painting, has been defaced, kind of. It's all about face with the Mona Lisa. I know. She's giving face, isn't she? Isn't that the whole thing about the Mona Lisa? They're like, that smile.

She's giving every type of face. That's the thing about the Mona Lisa. People don't know if she's smiling or if she's frowning. It's just like this neutral face. I saw a theory that she was holding in a fart, and that's what the face was. She's like. She constipated. Yeah. I. And that's what the face was. She's like. She constipated.

Yeah. Yeah. I've seen that face all too many times. On Sunday morning, though, two women flung streams of red and orange soup into the glass, protecting the painting, sparking gaffes from the crowd watching on. Red and orange. That'd be tomato and pumpkin most likely, wouldn't it?

I'd say so. Tomato soup stains. Don't know about pumpkin soup. Well, this is the thing. You missed the, you missed the point of what I just said. Oh, they threw it at the Mona Lisa. Yeah, it's because it's in bullet, bulletproof glass. Yeah, well, did they shoot the soup from a gun?

No. It's hit the bullet. Wait, wait, wait, wait. Is bulletproof glass soup proof? Well, this is the thing. This is what we need to find out. They were testing the theory. Turns out it is.

Oh, good. Bulletproof and also soup proof. Oh, the glass people will be happy to hear that. Yeah, they were stoked. I bet they never tested that. I bet they tried bullets, rocks, hammers, maybe even spears. How did they even come up with bulletproof glass anyway? Like you think about it, glass.

Yep. Quite breakable. Yeah. They've taken the most breakable thing ever. And then someone's gone, what if we make it so a bullet can't go through it? They're like, oh, whoa. Whoa, that's amazing. It's like bulletproof water.

How would we do it though? How's Mona? She's amazing. It's like bulletproof water. How would we do it, though? How's Mona? She's fine. She's doing fine. Apparently, it was a protest about the right to healthy and sustainable food. So it was quite a political protest where these two women have gone in and chucked it on the Mona Lisa. What did the Mona Lisa have to do with their inability

to access healthy and sustainable food? I think it was just making a statement. What's the statement? Like it was saying that, well, I'm not sure. It was making, like we're talking about it. Yeah, I know. I'm just trying to get to the bottom of it. Like you want access to healthy and sustainable food,

so you've thrown healthy and sustainable food, which you could have eaten eaten at the Mona Lisa, who did nothing. It's a good point. She did nothing. They said the soup throwing marked the start of a campaign of the civil resistance with a clear demand of social security of sustainable food.

Right. This is like the people who demand better transport options. And so they glue themselves to the road to prevent people who are using transport to get to work. So they want better transport because the roads are blocked so they block the roads to get better transport. They block the roads even more to get more transport. Look, I'm not in the mind of these, you know, I'm saying it's genius.

I'm saying it's genius. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I see what you're saying. I see what you're saying. Anyway, the Mona Lisa is fine. Thank God. Thank God. Because last time I went to France,

didn't even go and see it. And to be honest, the next time I go to France, probably not going to bother. So small. That's what I've heard. So small. I've heard it's really small. You line up for like four hours.

And there's like 150 people there all with their phones taking photos of it. Who wants to see your photo of the Mona Lisa? No one. Do you reckon those people just live in hope where someone's going to go, did you see the Mona Lisa? And they go, yes. Do you want to see this photo that I have? And they're going to go, oh, my God, I took one.

I took a photo. This is the best phone photo of the Mona Lisa I have ever seen in my life. Wow. Thank you. So much better than the fully high-def ones on the internet. Thank you. I'm so glad I saw it. Bree and Clint.

Time for the latest. From iHeartRadio, this is the latest live from LA with Dean McCarthy. Dean's here. Adele has given an update to fans at her show about when they can expect new music, a new album, and maybe even a world tour, Dean. Yes. Look, I've got good news and bad news. Let's start with the good news.

She's like, yep, I can see myself writing another album, and when I do, I'll be taking it on a world tour. The bad news is it will not be any time soon. Now, here's the thing. She's obviously doing a Vegas residency right now. Tickets went for up to $75,000 per seat. She hates performing live. She has said many times she gets a lot of anxiety

from performing live, even though she has the best voice in the world. But she gets very, very anxious. And that she is open to writing a new album, but it won't be anytime soon. But I've got a plan. Now, she's dating, obviously, Rich Paul. He's the agent for LeBron James and all this.

We just need to break them up. All she needs is a good old heartbreak. Yeah. And maybe a cheating rumour and a bit of a scandal and boom. Get ready for a tour. Yeah, that doesn't sound selfish at all. She doesn't really want to be happy, does she? She wants to be miserable and uber successful with her music.

That's what she really wants. Do you remember last time that she had a breakup with her husband and the father of her child and he had it written into the prenup that she couldn't write about their relationship. Yes, that was wild. Do you remember that, Dean? That's right, yeah. She was then speaking about some guy

that lived in the UK. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Non-descript man. Yeah, how dare he take away all of those heartbreak and breakup songs away from us. From us. I know. Yeah, okay. Well, there you go those heartbreak and breakup songs away from us. From us. I know.

Yeah, okay. Well, there you go. That's the goss on Adele. No music on the way soon. It's wild that she hates performing so much because she is one of the greatest live performers of our generation. And she seems so comfortable. That's why people love seeing her live. She's so normal.

She's so normal and she talks to the crowd in such a, you know, genuine and relaxed way. Well, good on her for knowing her boundaries, but more music would be good as well. Bree and Clint. Guys, let's talk about the Triple J Top 100. Is it not called Hottest 100 anymore? Oh, no, it is. Oh, okay.

But sometimes here at Triple J, we like to be a little eclectic. They've changed the day that they do it on, eh? Yes. So that it's not on Australia Day anymore. It's always on Australia Day, Jan 26. But obviously with the conversation around changing that day for the Aboriginal people, they've moved it. I think they moved it probably three or four years ago.

I like that they've moved it because they've just shown how easy it is to just move it. Oh, that was simple, wasn't it? Oh, look, we just moved it. Easy. Oh, look at that. No, the world is still turning. Yes, so Jan 27th, so over the weekend,

the Triple J Hottest 100 went down. And I think we should go through the top 10 because we always do on this show. Yeah. We like to, you know, see if our finger is on the pulse of what's cool. It never used to be that the winner of the Hottest 100 would

end up on mainstream radio. No, it was always real. It was always real oldie. Oldie. But in the last few years we've had a few. We had the Bang Up from Glass Animals which I gotta say is still one of my favourite Glass Animals songs. Me too. Probably my top three, I reckon.

And then more recently, this song. Added to the Zedium playlist. Yep, banger. At the end of last year, weirdly won in 2019. Yes. So these songs you're about to hear here, we could be playing in 2028. You never know. Alright, let's start at number 10.

It's a song by Post Malone. You might recognise Chemical. This is a great Post Malone song. Fantastic song. Been on the ZM playlist for a long time. That came in at number 10 for the Triple J Hottest 100 That's good, we're officially already cool

We've got one song We've got one run on the board Number 9, this came out Not that long ago But it's made it into the top 100 Jack Harlow's Love It On Me That's on the ZN playlist. We're two from two, baby.

We're two from two so far. Let's see if we can hit three from three. Number eight for the Triple J Hottest 100, Rush by Troye Sivan. We've got three. This is, because he's cool, and this is quite a cool progressive sound for Troye Sivan. Yes. I thought this could have been cool enough to go higher.

I thought this was going to be number three. Yeah. That's what I was picturing. But, I mean, still in the top ten is pretty good. Yeah. Number seven was, I mean, this hauntingly amazing song from Billie Eilish. What Was I Made For? obviously from the Barbie film. Yeah.

Is it the highest placed song from the Barbie film? Looking at the rest, I believe so. Beat Dua Lipa. It did. Yeah, okay. It did. Number six was this song from Fred Again, Adore You. First one that's not on the ZM playlist.

The first one that we don't play. But I think in 2024, Fred Again is going to make it on. I think he is right at that bit like Floom was, where he's just about to cross over into the main, main, mainstream. And this could be the song to do it. It's a good tune. Let's get into the top five for the Triple J Hottest 100 this year. We play this one on the ZM playlist, Prada.

All two minutes of it. I like it, though. Yeah.. I like it though. Yeah. I do like that song. Number four, let's rip through these. Rhyme Dust from MK and Dom Dollar. This song got seriously hyped on TikTok from just the hook of it. Same as Jake Harlow's one did.

And I found that when they released the full song, it was a bit disappointing. Like it wasn't quite as exciting as the little bit that you heard on TikTok. You know how that can happen sometimes? Yeah, it's kind of like when a trailer plays all the good parts of a movie. Yeah, a little bit.

A little bit. Number three, though, it's another one from Dom Dollar, Saving Up. And this is on my Spotify rep. One of my favourites of the last 12 months. Yeah, this is a tune. He would have played this

at Rhythm and Vines this summer. That's a tune. It's good vibes. Number two on Triple J's Hottest 100 this year was a song from G Flip, The Worst Person Alive. And I'm the worst person, I'm the worst person alive. Interesting.

You used to call me baby. G Flip also broke a record for the greatest number of entries in a single countdown, with seven making the list in the top 100. She is. I know she's young and cool, but she's also quintessentially Triple J. Like that sound, she's an Aussie, she's alternative. This is more like back to their roots, this, isn't it? Yeah, I watched a TikTok because they always post a video of them

listening to the hottest 100, and they thought that they were going to get like five or six, and they ended up being number two. And then you'd be disappointed that you didn't get number one. Because you're like, show off, I could have gone that well. No, well, then you've got something to work for for the next year. Bree and Clint. If you haven't heard, it is all Taylor Swift stations

that go at the station at the moment. Thursdays are Taylor Thursdays, and if you get on air when you hear a Taylor song, you can win tickets, flights, accommodation, the whole lot. stations are go at the station at the moment. Thursdays are Taylor Thursdays. And if you get on air when you hear a Taylor song, you can win tickets, flights, accommodation, the whole lot to see her live in Sydney. We found out someone phoned 0800 dial ZM 1600 times from one phone number on Thursday last week.

Quite incredible. No word if they actually got on air or not, but that is quite the effort. Anyway, look, everyone's talking about Taylor Swift, and I came across this news story, which apparently a Guinness World Record has been broken, and Taylor Swift is involved. So a guy named Bilal Jadia broke a Guinness World Record over the weekend

where he correctly guessed 34 tracks of Taylor Swift songs just off the first lyric. Oh, okay. From hearing the lyric or from having it read to him? So having it read to him. Okay. Didn't hear the lyrics. So essentially the challenge is they would

read out the first lyric and he would have to say the name of the song and he had to guess as many as he could in one minute and he got 34. That's more than one every two seconds. That's wild. Wild, eh? He broke the previous record which was set in 2019

of 26 so he smashed it. Yeah. I thought we could put it to the test this afternoon with our resident Swifty from the ZM office. She runs a Taylor Swift fan account on Twitter and she's been to I think a million concerts at this point. She's what we like to refer affectionately

as a Taylor Swift psychopath. Hello, Megan Sagar. Hi. Hi. Megan, do Sagar. Hi, hi. Megan, do you understand the rules of the game? I do. I'm a little stressed, but, like, please don't revoke my card if I only get 34. Well, 34 is superhuman. 34 is crazy.

It's a Guinness World Record. You don't need to get anywhere near that, and I think you'll be all over this. I'm glad someone has faith in me. I've got a heap of faith in you. It took me so long to prep this because I had to get all the first lyrics of 34 songs. So I've put in the effort and now it's your time to shine. Okay, I hope you haven't chucked any rogue ones in there. I don't think so. No rogues. Okay, Megan, here we go. Your time. 60 seconds on the clock

to name as many of these Taylor Swift songs just off the first lyric. Starts now. I say out too late, got nothing on my brain. Sing it off. Baby love, I think I've been a little too kind. Didn't notice you walking all over. Girl?

That's it. You're on the phone with your girlfriend. She's upset. Are you along with me? I am not the kind of girl who should be rudely barging in on white veil occasions. Pass.

Can you speak now? It is. Knew he was a killer first time that I saw him. Wonder how many girls he had loved. Uh, uh, it is. Knew he was a killer. Yep. You know I adore you, I'm crazier for you than I was at 16 lost in a film scene. It's a bit of a rogue one.

Pass. Walking through a crowd, the village is aglow. Kaleidoscope. Welcome to New York. He said the way my blue eyes shined. Put those jaw... State the obvious. I didn't get my perfect fantasy.

I realise you love yourself more than you could ever love me. That's 60 seconds. I knew they weren't that. I'll give you the last one if you can get it. It was state the obvious. I didn't get my perfect fantasy. I realise you love yourself more than you could ever love me. To go and tell yourself that I'm obsessive.

I'm not crazy. That's fine. I don't mind. Either way. No, sorry. Sorry, it's taking far too long. No, that's far too long. No, give it to us.

You got it. Pitching a burn. You got eight. Eight, Megan. Not bad. And I feel like you only missed one. And for everyone playing at home, it was, you know, I adore you. I'm crazier for you.

And that was Miss Americana in The Heartbreak Prince, which was a rogue one. Yeah, that's actually my favourite. But damn. I'm impressed. And to be honest, I feel like I let the team down because I wasn't reading it out as fast as I could it's quite hard

when you're like speaking it and it's not being sung I reckon yeah it does make it hard but I reckon we give her a pass what do you think Clint

8's not bad 8's better than I could do so Megan Sagar Taylor Swift Swifty congratulations how many Taylor Swift concerts are you going to

for Waitangi as well. Yes. So, timely that the New Zealand Herald have crowned the best beaches in the country. They do it every year, but it's done on votes, so it can change. Like if your beach has a stinker one year, like if it gets like, I don't know, covered in seaweed.

Washed away. Too many people down there with UE booms. Not enough dogs. Playing LAB. Not enough dogs. Yeah. I really hate that beaches over summertime don't allow dogs. Well, it's only like after six o'clock or after five and before nine or whatever it is.

But what about the dottoral population? No, but if a dog's on a leash, it's fine. The dottoral, eh? Is there a more useless bird? That bird's ugly. Hey. It is. You didn't have to make it personal.

Isn't a dottoral looks like a plover? Yeah, it is a plover. Oh, yeah, ugly is sin. Yeah. Yeah. And I'm not saying that. I thought the kiwi was the most useless bird in the world. Meet the dottoral. That's the one that that... We thought the kiwi was the most useless bird in the world. Meet the dot troll.

That's the one that has its eggs on the ground. Yeah. Yeah, the plover. And can do nothing to defend them. Do your... And Taylor Swift crashed a bunch of them when she was shooting the Wildest Dreams music video at Moody White, I believe.

Do your dotterals swoop? I don't even know if ours can fly. Oh, see, the plover, which looks a lot like that one in Australia, will lay its eggs on a sporting field, and then when people go to play there, it swoops them because all their babies are on the ground. We're getting sidetracked. Anyway, I think dogs should be on the beach if they're on a leash.

Okay, all right. Well, maybe they are at some of these beaches, allowed to be. There's five categories for best beach. Okay. Best family beach. Best camping beach. Best dog beach. Best surfing beach.

Best city beach. What's a city beach? Like close to the city, I think. Like the clothing store. Yeah. And best hidden gem beach, like secret beach. Ooh. Okay.

We'll start with the family beach. The winner of family beach, according to the New Zealand Herald, as voted by the people of Aotearoa for 2024, Ohope. I don't think I've been to that beach before. Beautiful beach. Great beach. 11 kilometres long, good surf break, places you can go sailing and kayaking. I feel like I'm reading its Tinder profile.

Well, also, excellent campground. Yeah, right. Excellent, like, top ten campground. I don't know if it's actually a top ten, but it's a campground, you know? Always good when there's a good campground attached to it. I swear there's more than ten campgrounds in the top ten. You know how the campgrounds are ranked on, it's like a top ten campground? I swear there's more than ten.

Maybe they just go off different years. Best camping beach for 2024. What have they got? Ooh, a new beach. Kaiteri Teri in Tasman region in the South Island. I've never been. Never been. It's described as...

Sounds lovely though. A postcard perfect beach, glistening turquoise water, thickly forested headlands, glorious sand, and that classic crescent shape. Hell yeah, that beach sounds awesome. Good for camping, apparently. No freedom camping, though.

Keep your pose in your van until you get to the disposal site. What if you throw it out the window? No, that's not allowed either. Do it in your hand and just whoop. Do it in your hand. That's not being a tidy Kiwi, is it? Mate, I don't know what van lifers get up to.

It gets tough out there on the road. Didn't you do a weekend of van lifing once? Yeah, I've done a bit of van lifing. Where'd you poo? I said in my hand. No, we had a compostable toilet. Let's get into it. Best surf beach for 2024. Where is it? No, we had a compostable toilet. Let's get into it.

Best surf beach for 2024. Where is it? Whangamata. Oh, yeah. Good waves in Whangamata. Mayor Len Salt, the mayor who replied to that guy's email with go F yourself. Legend. He said he's thrilled but not surprised.

He said Whangamata has everything. And it does. It's got bars and restaurants and a beach. Everything. Literally everything. It's got two golf courses. Yeah. So, okay.

What's your beach got? Nothing. I don't even have a beach. Exactly. My beach is Hahei, thank you. And it has everything. It has two ice cream shops. Damn. A pub.

Damn. A great camping ground. Mm-hmm. And hot babes. Funka Matar got rid of their camping ground, which is actually a slight against it. It sold off its camping ground to rich property developers. The camping ground at Ha-Hei has a hot tub that you can hire,

even if you're not staying at the camping ground. And a bar. It's so good. Best city beach, Oriwa, north of Auckland, on the Hibiscus Coast. Ah yes, lovely. The only problem with Oriwa or O-ree-wa is too many Aucklanders. Yeah, it's too close to Auckland.

Way too many Aucklanders. All the Jaffas get out there. You also don't really feel like you're at the beach because it's so close. Yeah. It's not far enough. I mean, I'd love to have a place there, but if I'm being critical. We're just jealous.

Yeah, yeah. There was one more. And the winner of best hidden gem for the year, Otara Wairere. Never heard of it. Haven't been. That's why it's a hidden gem, I guess. It's a hidden gem.

What was the overall? It's located between Whakatane and Ohope. Okay. And it's, I don't know if this is a stretch, but it says, it's been likened to the scenery of Italy's Cinque Terre. Wow. Is it? Is it?

Well, we haven't been there. No, we haven't. You have to take their word for it. It doesn't have an overall winner. It doesn't have an overall? No. Well, there's five categories. You can't compare an overall winner. It doesn't have an overall? No. Well, there's five categories. You can't compare apples and oranges.

Ha, hey. One overall? Not even the winner of any of those categories. Might have won overall. What about Mission Bay in Auckland? Oh, no, you can't swim there because it's full of human faeces. And it's also not a beach. Whenever it rains.

It rained really bad in Auckland last night, and then today it's a public holiday. All those people at Mission Bay, definitely swimming in faeces. Definitely. But the water is nice. Nice. Bree and Clint. Bree and Clint.

All I want for my birthday is a birthday banger. Here we go. Happy Monday. We're going to do your birthday bangers. Number one songs when you turn 16. And then we're going to play one for you. Let's start with Todd. Hey, Todd.

G'day, Todd. How's it going? How's it going? Long time listener. First time caller. Oh, wait a second, Todd. What a way to get it. What a way to get it.

First time caller. First time caller. First time caller. We do love it, Todd. Thanks for finally calling through. Oh, no worries. He's like, I want to wait a bit longer if I knew you were going to do that. He's like, now I regret my decision.

Hey, Todd, what's your birthday, mate? 18th of 10th, 86. All right, Todd, that means you were 16 in 2002. And on your 16th birthday, this was number one. Avril. Todd, you know our producer Claudia has a theory that... Disappointing, that's good. She's got a theory that Avril Lavigne was replaced by a fake Avril Lavigne in what year, Claudia?

Early 2000s. Early in her career. No, it took over. The story is because it's a common theory that she died and they replaced her. Yeah, but that's not Claudia's theory because she thinks, I think we're back to the real Avril Lavigne now. Yeah, she's back now. Yeah.

Oh, okay, right. Yeah, I've got my own spin on the theory. So you don't think she ever died then? No, I think she just had a rest. Either way. It's the same as, who's the other one that they think was replaced by a robot? Oh, don't know. Maybe that was

Avril. Either way, Todd's disappointed. Sorry, Todd. Sorry, Todd. That's alright. Yeah, well. As we say, the birthday banger chooses you. You don't choose it. Let's go to Rosie and see if we can get a bit more excitement about the result. Hi, Rosie.

Hi, Rosie. Hello. How are you guys? We're good, thank you. Whereabouts in the country are you? I'm in Hawke's Bay. Oh, lovely. How's things up in Hawke's Bay?

It's a bit wet, but that's okay. Yeah, that storm came through the North Island earlier, actually. Yeah, yeah. How's the weather up there with you guys? Oh, mate. Delightful. It's good now. It's good now, but you never know.

Hey, Rosie, what's your birthday? September 11, 1993. All right, that means you were 16, Rosie, in 2009. And let me take you back to your 16th with this one. But you'll say Sweet Dreams. Are you a fan, Rosie? I was a fan. It's so old.

I haven't heard it in so long. I see your point. I see your point. 2009. Okay, one more. Wait there, Rosie. We're going to do a birthday banger for Kerry. Kia ora, Kerry. Hi, Kerry.

Hello. How's it going? Good, thank you. Whereabouts are you? Crackit. Oh, lovely. Well, thanks for calling through, Kerry. What's your date of birth?

3rd of the 3rd is 1982. All right. That means you were 16 in 1998. And, Kerry, are you ready? This is your birthday banger. Never, never have I had to fight for my head 1998. And Kerry, are you ready? This is your birthday banger. Tune, Kerry. Not bad.

Not bad at all. The All Saints. I did a dance to this in 98. Was it real slow? It wasn't good. It was like in our jazz class and it's not very jazzy. Gary, you got a good one. You like it? Oh, yeah, it's pretty good.

All the other girls were dancing to the Splice Girls. Brie did the All Saints, Never Ever. No, and then the next year we did the Grease Megamix and because we didn't have enough boys in the class, I had to be Danny Zuko. You do look good in the leather jacket. I'm going to vote for Kerry's All Saints Never Ever. I'm going with Kerry too.

You've won, mate. Oh, yay. Enjoy this. Thanks for calling through. Have a good afternoon. Thanks, guys. Thanks, Kerry. Bye.

Out of what year, Bree? What are we talking about? 1998. 1998. A few questions. Brian Clint, you're Thanks, Kerry. Bye. Out of what year, Bree? What are we talking about? 1998. 1998. A few questions. Bree and Clint, you're on ZM. How you could ever hurt me so. Bree and Clint.

That's the winner of Birthday Banger on ZM. Bree and Clint. Bird. From 1998, that's the All Saints and Never Ever. Yeah, banger. Love that song. Revolutionary, that song, with all the talking in it, eh? Yeah.

People are like, whoa. How does it start? She's like. A few questions that I need to know. Yeah, imagine if they weren't English, though. The word. I've got a few questions that I need to know actually. Why you hurt me duck? Now.

How dare you. I want to talk about Drew Barrymore and are we watching the Drew Barrymore talk show? Anyone? How do we watch it in New Zealand? I think it's on TV. Oh okay. I think it might be on in the afternoons when you and I are always at work.

So that's probably why we miss it. But I'm pretty sure it's on here. What got the Ellen DeGeneres TV slot? I think it's being part. I feel like originally it was Kelly Clarkson and then I think Drew got the time slot before that. Let's be real. Here in New Zealand, it'll be The Chase.

I love The Chase. They just put The Chase. I feel like they just put The Chase. Either The Chase or the spin-offs of The Chase. They just put The Chase. I feel like they just put The Chase, either The Chase or the spin-offs of The Chase, the Catch the Chases. The Circle. Or the... The Chase Circle?

No, what's that one where they all sit in a circle? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Or The Chase Bloopers episode. Yeah, it's all good. Anyway, no, not watching Drew Barrymore. Well, she does a daytime talk show and she shares a lot of her life on that show like she talks about a lot of her dating life she talks about her issues her problems um i don't mind it's quite good but she shared a story on the show recently where she

felt like she got catfished on a dating app. Take a listen. This guy on my dating app said he was the quarterback for the Los Angeles Rams. So I wrote to him and I was like, oh my God, I went to the first practice game. I was so frustrated being a girl from Los Angeles who loves football. And like, we didn't have any teams. then i moved away to new york and then we got two teams and um it's nice to meet you my name is drew he was not the quarterback for the la rams he's a musician that thought he was being cute okay how should i feel about this big lie to tell big lie is it possible that she was on like one of the celebrity apps like Raya? I think she was on Raya. And he assumed that she knew who he was.

So he was being funny by saying, oh, I'm a quarterback for the LA Rams. I don't. And it's actually like the singer from the 1975. And he thought that she would think it was funny because he was like, obviously she'll know who I actually am. I don't think so because I don't. I think she goes on where she talks a bit more about and she says that he isn't a big musician right so but i mean he could have assumed that she knew but anyway it's just a bad start because he's made her feel stupid straight away it's a big lie off the top and she feels

silly because she likes football and then she was like, oh, my God, that's so amazing. Then he's like, oh, I'm a musician. I thought we could ask people this afternoon on 0800DIALS at M if you could share times where you've dated someone and they told a big lie about something to do with their life. So it might have been their job. It might have been their. So it might have been their job. It might have been their age.

It might have been their height. Their family situation. Their family situation. Whether they've been married before, whether they've been divorced. Whether they're currently married. Yeah. Yeah. Like just big lies that they told off the top at the start and eventually you found out.

And then were you guys able to move past it? Like had you laid enough of a foundation where you were like, oh, okay. It was a bit like the time I dated that surfer guy and I told him that I'm a good surfer. Oh, yeah, then you had to go on all those surfs? Well, we started dating in winter and I was like, this will be a bit of fun. It's not going to go anywhere.

And then we were still dating by summertime and I was like, oh, no, I'm going to have to break up with him. So can you surf now? No. Oh, you broke up with him so you didn't have to go surfing? No, I came clean and then we broke up a little while after. Yeah. Anyway. Oh, it wasn't meant to be.

It wasn't meant to be. Well, I was just trying to be cool and get on his level. I was just like, yeah, yeah, no, I surf. I surf good. We're looking for your stories about times people lied about a big detail, like from the start of a relationship. Yeah. It puts you on the wrong path very early in the relationship, doesn't it?

Yeah, maybe they lied about their job for some reason or their age or their past relationships, how many times they'd been married. If you've got a story you want to share, the phone lines are still open on 0800DIALZM. We've had a text from someone who said they were seeing someone, and he said that he was an orphan from nine years old, which you'd be like, oh, my gosh.

That's horrible. That's horrible. I'm so sorry. Both of his parents were alive and active in his life. What is wrong with that guy? That's a red, is that a red flag or is that a red flag? That's like a flashing red signal to get the hell out of there. That's like the plot line of Salt Burn. Yeah, correct.

Yeah, that's wild. Spoiler, but yeah. Spoiler. Someone else said, I dated a guy whose leg was rather skinny. I asked him what happened and he told me when he was four years old that he smoked someone's devil lettuce not knowing what it was. He was hunting with his uncles and got a hold of a gun and shot himself in the foot.

Oh. I believed him for three years. Turns out he lied and it was actually just clubfoot that he was born with. We're not together anymore because, Dan, those lies got bigger and better as time went on. That's weird. Do you think he was embarrassed about his? Yeah, I kind of get it from him.

I mean, I don't know about the other lies that he told, but maybe, you know, that was just his way of, you know, like dealing with it and just kind of, you know, making jokes about it. Yeah. Or trying to make it interesting or kind of cool. Did he make it cool? I don't know. But, yeah.

Someone said my ex lied about his name. Really? I wonder what the lie was. What, that they gave a fake name? Yeah, like did they just completely make up a name? When someone does that, you just I feel like... It's weird. Yeah.

Unless they have a really good reason, like it's still also hard to believe if they have a really good reason because you don't know the person. So you don't trust them. They've just chosen to lie to you from the start. Yeah. Like if there's a detail they don't want to talk about, they should just go, I don't really feel comfortable talking about that.

What's your name? I don't really feel comfortable disclosing that actually. Are you currently in a relationship with somebody else? I'm not really at liberty to talk about that. Sorry, that's not something I want to talk about. No comment. Like this text. I dated a guy who said that he was single.

Lol, that would happen a lot. Yeah. My ex lied to me and told me he was ready for a relationship. Two months later, suddenly he was not in the right space. Yeah. Very funny. Free in Clint. Have you seen the story about the guy in New Zealand, in Auckland,

who got handed $5,000 by a stranger? No, I haven't seen that. In cash? Whereabouts exactly was this and can we go there and just hang around the story is really weird he doesn't want to disclose exactly where he was because like because he's going to try and go find the pot of gold again well no i think i think it's going to split between i think he wants to keep the, but also the whole thing is so dodgy. Like, you don't want the person who the $5,000 was meant for to come and like, it's real

like Boy Swallows Universe, that Netflix show. It wasn't like a YouTuber trying to get views where he's like, I'm going to go find this homeless guy and give him $5,000 because I'm a nice guy, but I'm going to film it. Nothing. Here's the details. The man is 78 years old, the man who received the money. He doesn't want to be named. He told the New Zealand Herald,

I was at home doing my thing. I was outside in the garden. I looked up momentarily and this guy approached me. So in the front lawn of his house. Right. He said it happened in a nice suburb of Auckland just before Christmas. A man in his 20s who he described as looking gym fit walked up and asked him what his name

was. Sounds like a YouTuber. Does sound like a YouTuber. It does actually. The more I read this, it kind of does sound like a... Sounds like it. Sounds like a Mr. Beast prank. Yeah.

We're filming this for my YouTube channel. Do you mind if we pop it up online? Well, just assume that it's not. Okay, because I don't think that it is, but it kind of does sound like it. He said he told the guy what his name was. The guy put his hand in his pocket, pulled out an envelope, and said, this is for you. After he had told him what his name is, he said, this is for you.

The man said, what is this? And the guy said, I'm just delivering it. And then he bolted. He took off. he opened the envelope he said the whole thing lasted about 10 seconds and the guy was gone he opened the envelope it was full of $50 notes there was $5,000 cash in there he has no idea where it's from and he has no idea why it was given to him what the hell he is perplexed what would you do you said you had one question that you would ask the person. I couldn't have asked. He ran off. So if you could, what's the one question that you would ask? The one question

that everyone asks in that situation. Yeah. What's the catch? Oh, okay. Yeah. I don't think I can't figure out if this is like a mistaken identity thing. I think it's YouTube or TikTok There's so many TikTokers Don't do that to a poor 78 year old man though He doesn't understand what's going on Haven't you seen those ones where they go into like a business

And they'll be like Excuse me can I have some food I have no money And then if the people give them free food It gives them 50 grand it gives them a thousand dollars or something yeah i like i actually like those videos yeah but they oh i like the one where he's like hey uh can you help me uh i um i want to buy this hockey jersey for my son but i don't have any money and then the dad who's passing by is like oh yeah sure i can help you out and then he's, you're going to meet the team.

Here's $10,000. Oh, yeah, I've seen those. You're going to meet the team. You and your son are going to sit ringside. And if you want, your son can be the goalie during the hockey game. That's how powerful I am. Yeah, yeah. Anyway, what do you reckon the old man does? He should keep it.

He should definitely keep it. 100% keep it. I don't think I would have talked to the New Zealand hero. Neither. I would have moved. Well, not on five grand. Yeah, wouldn't have made it. I would have talked to the New Zealand Herald. Neither. I would have moved. Well, not on five grand. I would have went on a holiday for a while. There is a pie, a Kiwi pie,

that is making headlines around the world at the moment. Yeah, this is big news around the globe. It's a weird thing to say. We're pretty adventurous with our pies here in New Zealand. The pies are real like Kiwi, Aussie, English thing, isn't it? I think so, yeah. Like a meat pie. They don't have these in America.

Nah, Americans find it real strange. They're like, so you put the meat into the pastry? It's not a pumpkin pie? I don't understand. It's not a pecan pie? It's a savoury pie? Well, I think the pie, the humble pie, is one of the greatest culinary inventions of all time.

It's great. We've been pretty adventurous recently with the power pie. You can get one of those. Delicious, creamy power pie. I had a crispy pork belly and stewed apple pie from the Tarua over summer. But this one has been making news in the Daily Mail in the UK. You saw it in the news in Australia. Yeah, it was in the news over in Aussie.

It is a spaghetti bolognese pie from Zed. I feel like, has it been done before? I've never seen this before. It just feels like it should have been done before. Really? Yeah. Because I would have thought you, Italian, would have seen this as a bit of a mongrel. I see it differently.

A bit of a bastardisation. I see two of my favourite things coming together as one, but we haven't tasted it yet. I've seen the posters. I've only seen the posters. And it has the spaghetti bolognese meat in it. But then it's got pasta. It's got noodles in it. It's the full kick and caboodle in there.

It's got spaghetti in there. Let's give it a whirl. I think I just want to have a look inside it first. Oh, yeah, it's definitely got. Oh, yeah, the pasta's in there. It's definitely got the pasta inside it. It looks like quite a good bolognese, actually. It kind of looks a bit like tin spaghetti.

Can I eat it? All right, yeah, go for it, yeah. I'm just itching down the pipe. All right, so we're going to sample this for you. This is the spaghetti bolognese pie from Zed, hashtag not sponsored. Is it great or is it like a Frankenstein? I quite like that. It's definitely got tin spaghetti vibes, though.

But I don't mind tin spaghetti. There's nothing wrong with tin spaghetti. I'm quite into it. Are you really into it? Yeah. Kind of like a warm hug. It's a fun idea. Oh, Zed, I think you've

nailed that. I'm enjoying this. Okay, what else do we need to put in a pie then? We need to put nachos into a pie. That could be dangerous. Corn chips with chilli con carne on it. What about like a burrito? How do you keep the chips crispy? That'd be the hard bit.

They could have corn chips sprinkled on top. What about like a burrito pie? A burrito pie? Yeah, burrito would be good. Did you say lasagna pie? Lasagna pie. How do the layers go in the lasagna pie? You just literally put a piece of lasagna into the pie.

So it's literally just lasagna with pastry. Oh, hello. Fish and chips pie? Do we need a fish and chips pie? Oh, yeah, that could go all right. I like anything fish pie. Tartier sauce. Yeah, that'd be quite good.

There's the lube inside it. Okay, give it a rating out of five stars for the Zed spaghetti bolognese pie that's making news headlines around the world at the moment. Ooh, a bit of cheese on top. I'm going to give that a four. That's a solid four from me. I've had better pies

But I'll give it a three and a half I'm into it There you go If you're hungry for something on the way home Give that a go Jeez, slow news week rest of the world If that's what's making the headlines And that's the end of the show everybody
