Then he just pulled out a gun, shot her in the back of the head, and then said to Wayne, you're going to help me bury her. This is Mr Asia, A Forgotten History. All episodes now available on

from the ZM Studios in Auckland, New Zealand, it's Brie and Clint. Tala-valava everybody and welcome to the Brie and Clint Show. Do you see all those stories recently? Because obviously the Village People played at Trump's inauguration. Yeah, they did. Everyone was loving it and they were doing the YMCA and I'm like, finally they really thought about what that song is about.

See, the guy who wrote the YMCA, one of the original village people, came out the other day and said it's not a gay song. He released a statement with his wife in which he said, no, it's not a gay anthem. All right, babe. Imagine still being in denial after 40 years. It's a long time. It's a long time.

But hey, still a great song. Speaking of, Claude, how was the Venga Boys yesterday? It was so good. Yeah, it looked good. It was honestly, like, such a vibe. They were so slick and, like, ready for anything. Vengaboys played the Auckland Town Hall, and Claudia took her Vengaboys cassette to be signed.

Yes, I did. Were they impressed that you had a cassette? To be honest, I had to give it to someone else to get it signed, so I didn't see it happen. And I did only get one out of four. But, you know, better than nothing. And I'm sure they were all very impressed. God, you'd be a crappy Pokemon trainer. Got to collect one.

Did you at least get the cowboy? It was the cowboy. Yay! Well, that is like getting a Charizard. So I guess... Shiny. And now you can travel the world with your Vengaboys cassette looking to collect the rest of the signatures.

Not all bad. I'll have to follow them. Yeah. What all bad. I'll have to follow them. Yeah. What a shame. I'll have to see them again. We should... Fun life. That is now your life goal.

You know that. To collect more. You can't stop until you get all of them. Dang it. Okay. It's such a fun time for people who've never seen the Bangor Boys live. Very polished, very fun. So that's good, Claude.

I'm glad you got at least one. Brie and Clint, we will release the finalised list of dishes of the nation. If you missed it, we're on a quest to try and figure out what New Zealand's national dish is, because we don't really have one. So we'll release that for you just after 4.30.

delicious takeaway meal for their lunch to brighten their day at work. Sure. When they bit into something hard. Okay. They were like, that doesn't feel like it should be a part of. Anything your teeth doesn't go through is often a warning sign. Yeah. You normally can tell straight away. You're like, that doesn't feel like it should be a part of... Anything your teeth doesn't go through is often a warning sign. Yeah. You normally can tell straight away.

You're like, that shouldn't be in there. Yeah. Anyway, so they decided to unravel the wrap that they were eating. Yeah. Unwrap the wrap. Unwrap the wrap. Turns out someone had lost their nose ring in there. Oh, no.

For some reason, I thought you were going to say tooth, and I think I would have been less grossed out by a tooth. What would you rather, the tooth or the nose ring? I know. Is there something about a piercing that is so gross? Depends what, like, what the tooth looked like. Like, if it had the root on the tooth, then probably no. It was...

No, actually, tooth is disgusting. Someone else's tooth in your mouth because that's someone else's body part. Do you want to see a picture of it? You can describe it to... There you go. Ooh! So it's more a nose stud.

Nose stud. And it's half hanging out of like a piece of onion maybe. Pineapple or something. Pineapple something. Which makes it look even grosser because it looks like... Yeah because it looks like a tooth. And then they've decided to take more pictures of it. Oh, it's a little diamond stud.

Yeah, gross. Yes. How? Anyway, this is the part that I find interesting, right? So the person has got in touch with the place that they got the food from and they said, hey, just to let you know, there was a no stud in my food. And apparently the establishment wasn't apologetic

and they were like, well, none of our employees have a no stud. And you're like, I know because it's here in my wrap. That's what they said. They were like, yeah, no, it's here. So if anyone's missing one. I want it back. It's been in my mouth. And then people have started trying to decipher what it was

and they reckon that if some of the food comes pre-chopped or pre-done, then it could have been from a warehouse or something. Remember I told you about that now closed burrito place around the corner from where we work? Yes. And I went there to get a burrito and the lady making the burrito had false nails and the nails had poked through the blue latex gloves that you have to wear.

So she had the safety gloves on. I remember you saying this. And her big long nails poking out the end of the gloves while she was making the burrito. That kind of, I feel like it kind of defeats the purpose of the glove. No, it 100% defeats the purpose. I literally saw this video the other day where someone else was eating a chicken wrap and she was like, I bit into my chicken wrap and I felt something hard, like really hard,

and then she shows the camera, she pulls this thing out the end of it, and it's like a handle, pulls out a full knife. What? So she had bitten the handle part. She goes, imagine if I'd bitten from the other end. It's like when you hear of the surgeon leaving some of their tools inside you and stitching you back up. A whole knife.

It was quite a good knife, actually. She's like, I'm pretty stoked. I'll keep that knife. You break a tooth. Yeah. If you bite into something hard knife. You break a tooth. Yeah. If you bite into something hard, you can break a tooth. Because you bite hard enough to go through something. You don't expect there to be a nose ring or a knife in there.

My boss got a takeaway burrito once as well and chipped her tooth because a zip tie was in it. Oh. Even. Like, how did a zip tie get in there? I got a friend who went and got a juice once. Oh, no. What was in it? I got a friend who went and got a juice once. Oh no. What was in it?

A band-aid. Oh. Was it a used band-aid? Yeah. It wasn't like an un... I think I'd rather everything we have just talked about rather than a band-aid. Oh my God, I got another friend who got a smoothie. Sorry to sound like I've got a million stories.

I've got another friend who got a smoothie and Sorry to sound like I've got a million stories. I've got another friend who got a smoothie and sucked up a clipped fingernail through the straw. What would you rather? And it went into their mouth. It went up the straw and into their mouth. Would you rather fingernail or Band-Aid? I think it's on par. The Band-Aid didn't go up the straw.

That's the difference. So the Band-Aid was... So Band-Aid. So you drank Band-Aid juice, but you didn't get Band-Aid directly in your mouth. Oh. That's the difference. So the Band-Aid was... So Band-Aid. So you drank Band-Aid juice, but you didn't get Band-Aid directly in your mouth. Oh, no, I think I'd rather fingernail. I don't know. Okay, Ella wants us to stop.

Okay. But we will only stop to take a break to ask you what you found in your food. Yeah, what did you find in your food? Oh, 800-DIAL-ZM, or you can text us on 9696. Anybody hungry? Not now. Not at the. Anybody hungry? Not now.

Not at the moment. Not now. It's a good diet, actually. It's a cure for that 3 p.m. thing, yeah. Bree and Clint. These stories are enough to even put jelly roll off as food, I reckon. So just this is your warning. Yeah.

They are pretty yuck. But we're talking about this story from the United States of America where someone found a nose stud in their food. Someone's piercing. Yeah, someone's piercing has come out and ended up in someone's food. But there's worse things. Oh, yeah. We figured out from reading your text. Most of these I would opt for the nose piercing over these. Yeah. Do you want, let's kick it off with this one. Sure. Someone texted through and said, my husband and I were driving through his hometown and he took me to his favourite bakery. He got a pie and as he was eating it, he was raving about how great it was and then he felt

something. He pulled it out of his mouth to realise it was dental floss. So glad I'm fussy and didn't get anything. I spent the next 10 minutes dry reaching and laughing at him. That is so disgusting. And I don't understand how that could happen. And did he know it was dental floss because it was a little bit minty in his mouth? Like I understand how a band-aid gets into food.

I can even understand how a nose piercing might fall in there. I understand how a nose piercing could fall in. But not dental floss. Not dental floss. Okay. All right, everybody. Strong stomachs. Let's go to Chantel. Hi, Chantel.

Hi, Chantel. Hi. How are you doing? Good, thank you. We're not good, actually. What did you find in your food? A dirty long leg crawled out of my chicken salad bowl. What? Crawled out?

Yeah. A lie. I have a weak stomach and I ran to the toilet. Oh, look, I don't mean to. Daddy longlegs. Yeah, I don't mean to minimize your trauma, but of all the spiders, I reckon daddy longlegs is the cutest. It's the best one.

Yeah, probably. Yeah. If I had to eat a spider, I'd I reckon Daddy Longlegs is the cutest. It's the best one. Yeah, probably. Yeah. Yeah. If I had to eat a spider, I'd choose the Daddy Longlegs. Yeah, me too. For sure. It'd be the thinnest. How do you handle this, Chantel?

Here's a text someone said, a live caterpillar in my salad wrap. Oh, yeah. I took one bite and he poked his little head out. Bye. Oh, hi. Hi there. Who's that in head out. Bye. Hi. Hi there. Who's that in the background? Bye.

G'day. Yeah. Cuties, thank you guys. We appreciate the call. That's great. We're asking you what did you find in your food? It just reminded me of, and I feel like I've put it, like pushed it way down, but when I was quite young,

there was this, one of my favourite shops around the corner from me, this noodle shop, and they did this chicken satay dish and I loved it. Anyway, this one day it was stinking hot and I went around, got this chicken satay dish and as I was sitting there, you know, like in the box of noodles and I was eating it and I noticed a dead fly, right? And you're going to judge me for this? Yeah, you picked it out and kept eating it. I noticed a dead fly, right? And you're going to judge me for this? Yeah.

You picked it out and kept eating it. I picked it out. Because I was a poor student, right? No, no, it gets worse. I picked it out. Ate the fly. No. And I kept eating.

There was another fly. Yeah. And I went, I don't know about this. So I looked through the rest of it. Four more flies. And did you finish it? No, I didn't. As soon as I saw the second fly, I was like, nah, I can't.

Damien, what's your fly minimum, maximum, if you're eating a noodle dish? How many flies are you willing to put up with? To be honest, man, if I'm hungry. If you're hungry. Yeah, it's going on. What did you find in your food, Damien? I was going to this restaurant.

I just ordered a burger and a fry. Yeah. And the minute they gave me, like, a load of fries, when I was going through it, and I accidentally found, like, a fried cockroach. Oh, Damien. And did you eat it? No, luckily I didn't eat it, so I just ate the whole meal before I turned in.

You ate the rest of it, Damien. No, I respect that. No, no, not the fries, not the burger. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, I respect that. I reckon he did eat the fries, but we reacted badly, so he's changed the story. He's like, no, no, definitely didn't eat the fries. Thanks, Damien, we, yeah. No, I respect that. I reckon he did eat the fries, but we reacted badly, so he's changed the story. He's like, nah, nah, definitely didn't eat the fries.

Thanks, amen. We appreciate it. Someone said, I once found a claw in my burger, and it wasn't a chicken claw. It looked like a cat claw. What the hell? A cat claw? How did that end up in there?

Someone else said, a staple in my salad at a restaurant. That'll hurt you. They comped my meal and bought me a dessert. Good deal. That's a good deal. Not food, but when I lived in Africa, I found a tooth in my tampon when I opened it. Needless to say, I did not use that tampon. I need to talk to that person.

What kind of tooth? Was it a human tooth? And where in the tampon? And what kind of tampon? Yeah, what the hell? Mel's here. Hi, Mel. Hi, Mel. Hello. You wouldn't use a toothy tampon, would you, Mel? No.

No. If I was in a bond... Well, if you were in a tricky situation... Yeah, if I was in a tricky situation... Pull the tooth out, though, eh? Yeah. Yeah, take the tooth out first. Mel, what did you find in your food? It wasn't me. It was my husband, but we'd gone to the pub for a roast dinner and he bit on something hard

and it turned out to be glass. Oh, nah! Yeah. It turned out the kitchen had smashed a glass in the kitchen. Yeah. So it went... Everywhere.

Like across. Yeah. That's what happens when glass smashes. It goes everywhere. Yeah. They cleaned it up, but obviously didn't realise some of it landed in the food and that served it. What type of food was he eating? Roast.

Roast. It was a roast. So Mel, what did they do? That's innocent enough. And you tell them there's glass on this. What did they offer you? Oh, they were horrified. Very apologetic.

So to be treated as they should have been. Did they give you one of those beer towels for the table? No, but we got the meal for free and they paid his dentist bill as well. Oh, nice. Why, did he chip a tooth? Yeah, he did. God, he would have been like, damn, this is the crispiest crackling I've ever had. Yeah, yeah.

Oh, that's... He didn't swallow it though because he wants to be swallowed in glass. No. No, nobody. God, no. Except maybe Bree if she's hungry enough. Someone said there was a... Only if there's flies and glass.

Someone said there was a plaster in my naan bread. They wanted me to bring it back to check before they replaced it. They did not apologise, so I rang the council. What do you mean to check? They said prove there's a plaster in this naan bread. Because they'd taken the naan bread home and you ring them up like beep boop beep. Hey there's plaster in this naan bread. And they're like prove it.

You're like alright. We'll come back down there and show you. Yeah and they didn't apologise so they rang the council on them. Oh god. Hectic. Brie and Clint we are going to take a little break. Maybe have some like milk to settle our stomach. Yeah I need some water I think. And we'll be back after this. Brie and Clint, we are going to take a little break. Maybe have some milk to settle our stomach. Yeah, I need some water, I think.

And we'll be back after this. Bree and Clint. We here in New Zealand yearn. We yearn for international credibility, for somebody overseas to recognise us, even just to mention us. Yeah, it's nice to be mentioned. It's nice to be mentioned in a song, on a talk show.

In a movie, we love getting mentioned in a movie. What's his face when he hijacked Bird of the Year? Still nice to be mentioned. It was nice. Even though we did not agree with Stephen Colbert. Stephen Colbert, that's right. In the pootiki-tiki. Hijacking, hijacking.

It was Bird of the Decade, wasn't it? Bird of the Century. Bird of the Century. Yeah. How dare he? He cost the Kiwi Bird of the Century. Yeah. How dare he? He cost the Kiwi bird of the century. Like how, how in this day and age did any other bird win bird of the century here in New Zealand? And yet you're right.

We were still flattered to be talked about. Still great to be talked about though. It's nice to be, you'd rather be talked about than not, right? But it's a travesty that the Kiwi didn't win. No, I agree. I agree. But still great to be mentioned. And the Pu- didn't win. No, I agree. I agree. It's still great to be mentioned. And the Pu-Tiki-Tiki will have to live with that for another century.

Yeah. I heard that the Pu-Tiki-Tiki is... That's on the Pu-Tiki-Tiki until 21, 21, 20. What? 20, yeah. We won't be here. 21, 24. That's how long the Pu-Tiki-Tiki is going to have to live with that. Yeah, we'll be long gone. And probably so will the Pu-ticky-ticky

And the kiwi And the kiwi I hope not Kiwi hasn't got long to go You reckon the poo-ticky-ticky's got longer? Yeah, at least it can fly So that's even more reason why the kiwi should have won Might not be here

God, how dare you, Stephen Colbert Anyway, this is positive news Claudia's got a question. Oh, yeah, sorry. We're still on poo-ticky-ticky. If you put some respect on Stephen Colbert's name, it was John Oliver. Oh.

Oh. Thank you very much. I knew it was one of them. Close enough, right? Yeah, Stephen Colbert. I left it and I was like, oh, if they say it again, I should probably tell somebody. How dare you, Stephen Colbert. No, again, it's nice to be mentioned. I'm keen to get sued by Stephen Colbert. I left it and I was like, oh, if they say it again, I should probably tell somebody. How dare you, Stephen Colbert.

No, again, it's nice to be mentioned. I'm keen to get sued by Stephen Colbert because at least he'll be talking about us. Stephen Colbert. And who was it? John Oliver. I'm just... Oh, well, they look the bloody same, don't they?

Once upon a time, our hero's precious solitude is suddenly shattered by an invasion of annoying creatures. All banished. Rachel. Rachel. Despicable me? Despicable me is incorrect. No.

Free guess, Bree. Cloudy with a chance of meatballs. All banished from their kingdom by the evil lord of the land. Oh, Rachel. Rachel. Rachel. I know what it is. Shrek.

No worries, Rach. You deserve it. Cool, thanks. There you go. That's our family movies round. I don't know that we've ever done that as a category before. Can we not do it again? Because I don't think it's my strong point.

We've decided to take it on ourselves to figure out what the dish of the nation is because there is no official dish, no official meal of New Zealand. There really isn't. And it's time that a meal be crowned, and why can't we do it? Yeah, why can't we do it?

With the help of the people, why can't we pick something? Do this for the nation. This is the thing we can bring to the table. So when people come here, they can go, oh, I'm in New Zealand, I have to have the thing. Whatever it is. So with your help, we believe we have whittled it down to 16 dishes, which will then go into an eliminator type competition that will go down to eight, then down to four, then down to two.

And eventually we will know what the dish of the nation is. A knockout competition will decide the dish of the nation according to your votes. These have all been submitted on the Brian Clint Instagram story over the last couple of days. But that doesn't mean there isn't something missing from this list. Doesn't mean it's right. We think we've got

it. We think we've got it. But if there's something missing from this, it needs to be added today because voting starts tomorrow. So we're going to read out the list. These are the 16 things that will fight to become the dish of the nation. But if you think, and if we're swayed by your suggestion, it might change. I will point out.

Before it's even started. Yeah, yeah. No, but this is the time to do it. We can't change it once it's locked in. No. But we will add that for something to be added, something has to be removed. Yeah, so if you're suggesting

something, you then need to also suggest the thing that's on our list that should be taken out. You need to say, this is better than that. Yes. Put this on there instead of that. Exactly. Okay. But here is the list as it stands at the moment. A pie. And just that covers

all pies. All handheld pies. All handheld, yeah, single person pies. Savory pies. All handheld meat or whatever based pies. Steak and cheese. It covers them all. Not a family bacon and egg pie and not an apple pie. Covers a whole lot. You know what you're about. Bakery pie. Kiwi onion

dip. It's on the list. Hungy. Hungy's on the list. It has It's on the list. Hungy. Hungy's on the list. It has to be on the list. It is. Marmite and chip sandwiches. Yep. Controversially,

pie and a V. Pie and a V, but that would be a mince pie. That'd be a mince and cheese pie. Mince and cheese pie and a V. That would be like a real basic, like dairy pie. Yeah, that's a dairy pie. It's like a Big Ben. Like a Big Ben pie, yeah. And a V. That would be like a real basic like dairy pie. Yeah, that's a dairy pie. It's like a Big Ben.

Like a Big Ben pie, yeah. And a V. Yeah. Different to a pie. Yeah. Those are two contenders. Obviously, South Island sushi, cheese rolls. The cheese roll is on the list.

Fish and chips. On the list. Pavlova. Controversially on the list because Bree and I have done a trans-Tasman deal, Bree being from Australia, me being from New Zealand, and we've agreed that that actually belongs to both countries.

It does because there's so much controversy around who did it first or whose it is. Why can't we share it? Technically it has to be shared. It can't be either country's dish of the nation. But if a Pav is not on the list. It's going on the list.

It's got to go on the list. It's on the list. Fairy bread. Yep. I'd love it if fairy bread was the dish of the nation. How good. Destiny's Church wouldn't be happy. White bait fritters.

Definitely on the list. Quintessentially New Zealand. Has to be on there. Right. Are they sustainable though? Frozen sausage rolls that you cook at home. You know, the ones that come in the orange packet. The long ones and you slice them to the size of a sausage roll that you want.

And then you put a bit of milk on top and then they puff up in the oven. They're so good. You brush some milk on the top of them. Oh, you're making me hungry. Sausage and bread. Sausage and bread? Sausage sizzle? Sa, you're making me hungry. Sausage and bread. Sausage and bread? Sausage sizzle? Sausage sizzle.

Yeah. Sausage and bread. Butter, tomato sauce. Onions, if you're keen. Sausage and bread. You decide what's on it, but sausage and bread. Boil up. Classic boil up.

Yep. Porkbones, puha, boil up. The old boil up. Chicken, bun, coleslaw. And that would be from a bachelor's handbag, like a hot chook. That's the supermarket dad dinner. Hot chook, bread roll, coleslaw. Coleslaw from the supermarket deli.

Very basic dinner. It'll get you through. Bree's suggestion of real fruit ice cream. Yeah. Do you want to justify that again? I just believe that real fruit ice cream is a Kiwi thing. Like, and it's an amazing thing. Like, who doesn't love a real fruit ice cream?

And you think that maybe Kiwis don't realise how Kiwi roadside real fruit ice cream is. Yeah. Like, a couple of my Aussie friends came over during the holiday break and they were like, they got a real fruit ice cream because I encouraged them and they were like, what's that? Yeah. Like a couple of my Aussie friends came over during the holiday break and they were like, they got a real fruit ice cream because I encouraged them. They were like, what's that? Yeah. And then they got one every day that they were here.

They were like, this is amazing. And the 16th item on the list currently is Cheerios and tomato sauce. Little party sausages. Little frankfurt. So is there anything on there that is not included that should be? Someone's texted and said, hangi not included? No, it is. No, it's on there. It's on there.

It's on there. Someone else said, what about pavlova with kiwi fruit? It's on there. It's on there. It's on there. But is anything missing? What are we missing? This is the last chance to add a meal that could be the dish of the nation

to the list before we shut it off. This is your last chance. Boil up is on the list. Someone just text through boil up, question mark, it's on the list. Let me hit you with the list real quick, okay? Let me hit it. I'll do the whole list one more time. Listen and then text us on 9696 if we've missed something.

Pie, kiwi onion dip, hangi, marmite and chip sandwich, pie and a V, cheese rolls, fish and chips, pavlova, fairy bread, whitebait fritters, frozen sausage rolls that you cook at home, sausage and bread, boil up, chicken bun coleslaw, real fruit ice cream, Cheerios and tomato sauce. Okay? That's it.

A lot of texts coming through now. God, there is some passion on the text machine. There's so many texts, so many texts. And I feel like my shoulders hurt. Yeah. Because I feel like this is a big weight to carry. It's a lot of responsibility. A lot of responsibility where we want to do the people right.

We want to name and crown the right dish of the nation. We don't want to do this again. No. This is a one-time thing. Do we need to extend it out to 32 dishes? Far out. I don't know. There's just so many texts there.

This might be a two-week voting process. If we don't include everything, then is it a legitimate process? We've asked you, did we miss anything from our nominees for what should be New Zealand's dish of the nation? And God, people have come in in their droves, one dish in particular, a lot. And that was the one you texted, Ali. Hi.

Hi, Ali. Hi, how's it going? Good, thank you. What did we miss? Roast lamb meal. Yeah, you're right, Ali. You're right. You know, last week I said on this show,

these words came out of my very mouth. I said, no one eats lamb anymore. Oh, no. I know. I couldn't believe it, Ali. How wrong was I? I said, what are you talking about? We eat lamb once a week.

Sunday night roast. Yeah. If we put roast lamb on, what does it replace? Oh, the nonsense. V in a pie from the dairy. We kind of just put that one in for fun, Ali. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Can we keep pie and replace pie in a V?

Pie's got to be on there. Pie's got to be on there. Yeah, but, like, there's so many delicious pies. Okay. All right. Good suggestion. I feel like maybe, you know, you could combine the Cheerios with the sausage rolls maybe. Oh, yeah.

You could combine Cheerios. Yeah, you can have one or the other, eh? You could combine Cheerios and fairy bread too and just go party food. Mmm. Mmm. Yeah, controversial. With some, you know, twisties and some cheesels. Yeah.

Oh. And the sausage rolls. Yes, and the Party McFlolly. And those little toothpicks with a piece of pineapple and a piece of Chubb luncheon on it. Perfect. Perfect. What luncheon?

Chubb luncheon. That's right. I forgot you guys call it that. Okay. Oh, just before you go, Ellie, what about jelly tip ice cream? Should that have been on there? Well, that's a dessert. I mean, are you doing mail?

Are you doing dessert? No, it's such a good point, Ellie. It's such a good point. It's whatever the essence of the country. Like, real fruit ice cream is a dessert, but I feel like it's known around the world as New Zealand real fruit ice cream. But I'm not going for a real fruit ice cream after dinner, you know? So it's kind of its own thing, real fruit ice cream.

Yeah, but are you going for some Cheerios or fairy bread after dinner? No, no, I'm saying that real fruit ice cream is not necessarily a dessert in the way that jelly tip ice cream is a dessert. Yeah, gotcha, gotcha. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, Ali, geez, lots to think about. Thank you very much. Appreciate that, Ali.

Thank you for taking me up north. It's been a big trip up to Kaitaia, so it's been great listening to you. Oh, you've been with us the whole way. Oh, that's wonderful. There you go. Well, we hope you vote in the Dish of the Nation. It will be out next week. A lot of messages coming in for tinned spaghetti on toast.

Oh, I love tinned spaghetti. And we're talking like Waddy's spaghetti or Oak spaghetti. How good. That kind of, it's not actually spaghetti. A lot of pawa. Pawa, yeah. Fritters and pawa pies. That's included in the pie category.

Yeah, it's kind of its own thing though. It's quite a unique pie. And it is delicious. It is quintessentially Kiwi too. Someone said a flat white should be on the dish of the nation. A flat white? Okay. It's very Kiwi, the flat white. Corey's here. Hi, Corey. Hi, Corey. Corey, you there?

Yeah. What did we miss, Corey? Have you guys ever tried a Milo sandwich? What is that, Corey? Tell me immediately. Well, just, yeah, casual white bread. Yeah. Some butter.

Yeah. And then you know how we put the amount of Milo we put in when we have a cold Milo. Way too much. Yeah, way too much. Put some of that in your sandwich. Yeah. Straight Milo. It's like berry bread, but it's got to be in a sandwich.

Oh, that sounds like a bit of me. How have I never thought that, Corey? How have I never thought to do that? I don't know. I don't know, but you need to try it. I need to try that. I don't know if it's... I don't know if it can be the dish of the nation, Corey, but I do think that cold Milo

should have been on the list. But cold Milo with six tablespoons of Milo. Yeah, yeah. At least. Would you accept that on the list. But cold Milo with six tablespoons of Milo. Yeah, yeah. At least. Would you accept that on the list, Corey? Yeah, yeah, you can put cold Milo on the list. But thank you for calling and telling us about the Milo sandwich.

I think, oh, chip buddy. Someone said chip buddy. There's so many good suggestions. Mints on toast. Mints on toast is not quintessentially Kiwi. It's very British. Very British. Same with shepherd's pie.

Very British, yeah. Even though delicious. Bunnings snag is very Aussie. But sausage and bread could be considered Kiwi. Isn't that the same? Yeah, but a Bunnings specifically one. Like I wouldn't want to give Bunnings the dish of the nation. No, that's just a sausage on bread, so it is on the list.

Right, so it's on the list. It's on the list, yeah. Ambrosia? I don't... There's quite a few Ambrosias coming through. A lot of Ambrosias. Someone said steak sandwich, fry, oh, fry bread. Yeah, they're on our bread.

How good is fry bread, honestly? Someone said Weet-Bix should be the dish of the nation. Good old Weet-Bix. A lot of muscle fritters. Okay. All right, we're going back to the drawing board a bit, I think. We thought we were going to have it locked off today. I don't think we've got it locked off, eh, Claude?

I think there's too much conjecture here. And there's three types of fritters that we need to include now. White bread fritters, power fritters. Muscle fritters. Oh, muscle fritters. Should we just say fritters? Should we just say Fritters? Just put them all as one category.

But then it makes them a stronger contender. Yeah. Because it's three in one, so you have to think about, anyway, we're going to do this right. Yes, we are. We're going to get it done right, so bear with us. There will be voting up soon. Like Bree said, we're feeling the pressure. We feel the responsibility.

If we're going to take on this mantle, we have to do it right. Yeah. I'm going to come out and say, this won't be controversial, I'm going to come out and say pineapple lumps won't be on there because they're not a dish. Yeah. They're just a bag of lollies from the dairy. Yeah.

Do we agree on that? Yeah, I agree. We agree? Yeah. Love pineapple lumps, but it won't be included. Corn fritters. Oh, a new fritter just dropped. A new fritter has entered the chat.

God, how many bloody fritters do we have? Bree and Clint. Just talking about different things you've negotiated instead of a pay rise, because it can be way more difficult to negotiate a pay rise, can't it? And I believe everyone's doing it tough out there at the moment. It's never been more believable that your company probably doesn't have any money to give you a pay rise than right now. Sometimes it'd be bull crap if you work for a big place.

But, you know, so what would you be willing to take instead of money? This is quite a good one. Someone said 35 hours instead of 40 hours a week. Oh, yeah. For the same money? Yeah, it'd have to be for the same money. That's a pretty good deal. That is essentially a pay rise, isn't it? That is a pay rise. So 35 hours means you could either

come into work an hour later every day or you could go home an hour earlier. Or you could have a half day. Or you could have a half day. Have a half day if you wanted to. What did you get instead of a pay rise? Someone else texted and they said where is it? They said my boss wrote a check

for a bond on a house so I could move away from my partner at the time who wasn't treating me very well. The man literally saved my life. That's incredible. I wonder if they asked you to pay that money back or if he's like just take take it, sort yourself out.

That's a great boss right there. What a legend. Someone else said... And you're like, oh my God, thank you so much. I really appreciate this. How did checks work? Yeah, how do the checks work? What do I do with this?

Someone else said, my work gave me, instead of a pay rise, diabetes. Wow. I'm sitting at the desk all day. Did they or did you just not get up enough? That's not ideal. We got a box of pals. A box of pals?

There's a pay rise. Literally just requested this for working late right now. Green pals received effing stoked. Oh, there you go. Okay. I'll do it for a box of pals. And the boss goes, sweet as, I'll get you a box of pals. I do like it shows, you know, if the office needs a bit of a morale boost and you say, oh, this is what could do it.

And if they come through, that means they care about you. I got a $5 pay rise for being cool. Good for you. Someone else said, oh yeah, here it is again. I got five hours less a week and I got to work one day a week from home for the same pay. I love that negotiation. Yeah. That's a great way to do it.

Claudia, what are you going to take instead of money? Yeah, what would it be? Put it out to Ross Boss now. What do you want instead of money? Financially, it's a good decision to give me a car park. Oh, yeah, because you don't have to pay for parking. You've been fighting for a car park for years. I'd say thousands.

What if we gave you a hop card instead? Are you going to top it up for me? Yeah. Go on then. Ella, what do you want instead of money? I'll take a Mac laptop. Are you on a MacBook? Yes, please. Okay. Okay. That's a good idea. That's pretty good. Yeah. I would

what would I want instead of a pay rise? The less working hours is pretty desirable. Yeah. That's pretty nice. Imagine how much you guys would enjoy this show if it started at five. Yeah. Imagine how jam-packed that one hour would be.

One hour. One hour radio show. Finish at six. Ryan Bridge does a one hour radio show. Does he? Yeah. God, how did he negotiate that? Because he's so handsome.

The pretty people get everything, don't they? I know, right? We're going to do a birthday banger next. If you want to know the number one song on the day you turn 16, instead of a pay rise, we can do that for you. Right here, right now. 0800 DIAL ZM for Birthday Banger. Bree and Clint.

Bree and Clint. All I want for my birthday is a birthday banger. All right, let's do some birthday bangers for you Thursday. Number one songs when you turned 16. Keegan's going first. Kia ora, Keegan. Hi, Keegan. G'day.

I believe it's your birthday today, mate. Happy birthday. It is. Thank you very much. How old are you turning? 28. Ooh, that's such a good age, Keegan. That's such a good age.

Don't waste it, Keegan. How good was 27 for you? Yep. No, it was pretty good. Are you single right now, Keegan? No, I'm not. Oh, dump him. You've got to be single for 28.

Is your last chance to be single at 28, Keegan? I'm just kidding, Keegan. Hey, happy birthday. So that would be 19. Are you kidding or half kidding? I'm actually not kidding. That means you would have been 16, Keegan, in the year 2013. And on this exact day in 2013, this was at the top.

You make me feel like I've been locked out of heaven. Banger from Bruno Mars, Locked Out of Heaven. What do you reckon, Keegan? I don't mind. Take it or leave it. I hate it, to be honest. I know you hate Bruno Mars, but do you hate this Bruno Mars song? I hate them all.

But this is a good one. I can appreciate Uptown Funk. That Uptown Funk is a fantastic song. What about 24 Karat Magic? They all sound the same. What about... I don't mind that one. Sarah's here.

Hi, Sarah. Hi, Sarah. Oh, it's Cara. Cara. Cara. Sorry, Cara. Welcome to the show. How's your Thursday been, Cara?

Tara, Sarah, Cara. Shit. Cara with a T. Cara with a T. Lara. That's where we got it wrong. No. Lara? It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. Lara. That's where we got it wrong. No. Lara?

It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. No, it does matter to us, Zara. No, it does matter. It matters hugely to us, Zara. Is it far-er? No, T for Tiddy. Oh, why didn't you say that?

You should have said that at the start, Tara. Now we're on the same page. Tara for Tiddy. What's your date of birth? I can just imagine Tara. I think I'm on October 19th. Okay. Working in like a call centre or something

and she's doing the what's-her-name alphabet. She goes T, T for titties. A, anus. B for bingo. R. All right, Tara. That means you were 16 in 2008 and here's your birthday banger.

Oh, it's a ripper, Tara. P-Money and Vince Harder, everything. Do you like it? Not really. Oh! I like the honesty. Yeah. Well, thank you for being straight up.

Yeah, we appreciate it. Do you like Bruno Mars? No, not really either. Okay, well, that's fair then. All right,, thank you for being straight up. Yeah, we appreciate it. Do you like Bruno Mars? No, not really either. Okay, well, that's fair then. All right, well, tough titties, Tara. That is. Wait there. We're going to go to Jack for the last birthday banger.

G'day, Jack. Hi, Jack. Hey, how are you? Good, mate. How are you going? What have you been up to today? Just busy working, just on my way home. Yeah, good to hear. What is your date of birth?

18th of the 4th, 86. Alright, that means you were 16 Jack in 2002. We've done the calculations on that day. This was at the top. The calling wherever you will go. The Calling, Wherever You Will Go, on a Soft Rock Thursday as well. Yep.

What do you reckon, Jack? Oh, yeah, it wasn't too bad back in the day. Yeah. What would you pick out of those three, Jack? I'd obviously pick my one. Yeah, right, okay, good to know. No one's overly enthused by their birthday banger today. What do you think, Bree, about letting Keegan choose the winner, seeing as it's Keegan's birthday?

I don't mind that. Keegan, we're going to leave it with you, mate, but if you pick Bruno Mars, do you listen to me? No, I'm just kidding. You can pick what you want, Keegan. Bruno Mars, P-Money or The Calling? What's it going to be? What's on the line here?

Do I win something? Jeez, hard bargain. Yeah, you can have 50 KFC chicken dollars for your birthday. That would be good. If I pick my own one? No, if you pick any of the three. I'll be honest, I have to go with the calling. Really?

Yeah. Okay. That's my pick. I like it. Good choice. As long as we didn't have to play that Bruno Mars song, I'm happy. Happy birthday, Keegan. Thanks for calling ZM.

Happy birthday, mate. Brian Clint, ZM. So lately, been wondering who will be there to take my place. Brian Clint. ZM, and Clint. On a signature Bree and Clint soft rock Thursday, that's the calling. Bree and Clint soft rock FM. Yeah.

Still there, ready to launch as soon as we need it. Yeah. We've got the whole soft rock radio session ready to go. Yeah, we're ready to launch it. Soft rock FM. It'd be big. I reckon the people want it. Yeah. We've got the whole soft rock radio session ready to go. Yeah, we've already launched it. Soft rock FM. It'd be big. I reckon the people want it. I reckon they want it too.

It isn't Zedium. It's soft rock FM. What would be our A rotates? The Calling. The Calling. The Fray. Hoobastank. Matchbox 20. Who else?

Hoobastank. They've only got one song. Snow Patrol. Doesn't mean it wouldn't be an A rotate. Matchbox 20. Who else? Hooper Stank. They've only got one song. Snow Patrol. Doesn't mean it wouldn't be an A, Rotate. Okay, yep. Snow Patrol. Good one. Did I say the fray?

Oh, the Goo Goo Dolls. Oh, Goo Goo Dolls! Yeah, the Goo Goo Dolls. Who's our B, Rotate? I reckon on B, Rotate, we've got some of the more emotional Avril Lavigne songs, like I'm with you. Oh, yeah, that's a banger. That's tough.

That's a banger. What else? Hold on. Soft rock songs. Do we put Wheatus in the soft rock category? No, the two pop. I don't think so. Two pop.

Two mainstream for us. Bit of Oasis in the soft. The fray. Yeah, the fray. I put them in the A Rotate twice So they're taken Yeah Oh definitely They're definitely

What am I talking about Train Train Train's gotta be Drops of Jupiter Drops of Jupiter In her I saw them live once

At this tiny little pub And It was honestly I couldn't believe it I was like Where is everyone This is Train Train's in A Rotate

Oh What was their comeback song They came back with Hey Soul Sister Honestly, I couldn't believe it. I was like, where is everyone? This is Train. Train's in A Rotate. What was their comeback song they came back with? Hey Soul Sister. Was that the comeback song, was it? Yeah. Did pretty well. What about Five for the Fighting? Five for Fighting, yeah.

Five for Fighting, yeah. Keem. Oh, yes. What was their song? A Bad Dream? I don't know. Eyes? Anyway, the station is ready to go, by the way. We're ready to roll.

We just need investors. The feelers. Yeah. Bree and Clint. I saw someone on Reddit asking if they were the a-hole for laughing at the name that their friend chose for their baby. I need to know the name. So the name is not given.

Oh, that makes it hard. How are we meant to judge? But it's about the reaction. It's more about the reaction than the name. Okay, listen to this. They said, my best friend is pregnant and we've been friends forever, like since primary school. We've been talking about baby names for weeks and just throwing ideas around.

She even joked about some really insane names and we laughed and we talked about how some people choose really cringy names. So I thought we were on the same page. Right. Fast forward to a few days ago and she tells me that they've finally picked a name and it's not good. Oh, no. It's one of the names they were laughing at, is it?

No. This is not the real name, but think along the one of the names they were laughing at, is it? No, this is not the real name. But think along the lines of Zephyr Rocket or Banjo Fox. I don't mind Zephyr Rocket. As a name. Yeah, like first name, middle name. No, first name. Oh, first name, Zephyr Rocket hyphenated.

No, no. First name, Banjo Fox. Banjo Fox isn't a name. It's a call sign. It's what you say to another fighter pilot. Right? But Banjo as a name's not bad. Isn't it?

I guess there's that dog Banjo on Bluey. Yeah. Banjo, I mean, one of the most famous Australians ever. Really? Banjo Patterson. Oh, yeah, okay. I honestly thought she was messing with me, so I laughed. Like, not a mean laugh, just a genuine reaction. Oh, no. Oh yeah, okay. I honestly thought she was messing with me so I laughed. Like not a mean laugh, just a genuine

reaction. Oh no. Wait, shut up. What is the real name? Oh no. But no, that was the real name. She got super quiet and was like, that is the name. I could tell immediately that I'd messed up so I tried to backpedal but she looked

hurt and changed the subject. Had they already named the kid? The kid isn't born. Oh well there's still time. I think that's fine. But her and her partner had settled on a name. Yeah well maybe you should rethink it. So you could have done them a favour.

If that's your best friend, your best friend's going to be honest. You've got to be honest with your best friend. I agree. Unless the baby has been born and they've already named it. You've got to be honest with your best friend. You've got to. I agree. That's what a best friend is. Unless the baby has been born. And they've already named it. And then you shut up. Then you shut up. If they've already done it, then you should keep your mouth shut. You said before the show that you

reckon your acting skills are so good that you'd be able to handle this situation. Yeah. Easy. So I thought we could role play this live. I've brought Claudia in. And for the purposes of this role play, Claudia, your baby is born. Yes. Claudia's pregnant? No. No, I was. Now I've got the baby.

She's postnatal. Wow, you kept that hidden. Still glowing though. For this roleplay, Claudia is holding the baby. Okay. And she's about to tell you the baby's name. So you're meeting the baby for the first time, Bree. Okay. Go for it. Hi, Bree. my best friend.

Oh, my God. Isn't she beautiful? She is adorable. Definitely knew it was a she. She's so cute. What's her name? I'm so excited. Okay, so this is my daughter, Elizabeth.

Oh, Elizabeth. That's so cute, isn't it? It's kind of like, you know, you've made your own name there, like got a bit creative. Yeah, I know. My nana's name is Elizabeth, so I just wanted to know, you know, be a bit creative with it, give her something new. I think you've nailed it.

Elizabeth. I think it's adorable. Would you call her Lizzie for short? No, breathy, I think, is what we'd say. All right, scene, scene. Well done. Well done. Well done. I love it.

Breathy. Alyssa, breathy. You handled that so well. Thank you. At first I thought going too excited was going to be bad. But I'm just seeing the baby for the first time as well. No, yeah, it was good. It's a lot, yeah. Okay. It's given me a lot to work

with because I also feel like I could be in this situation. You definitely could. So I need to go into this ready as well. I'm meeting Claudia, same situation. New name. Baby number two. We're a few years down the track

and I'm on baby number two. Claude, it's so good to see you. It's so nice to see you too. How's Elizabeth? Oh, she's really good. She's in kindy now and she's so excited to have a little brother. How's her asthma? Still going, you know, familial. Poor breathy. I know.

Anyway, who is this cutie? This is my beautiful son. His name is Big Ol' Pancake. Big Ol' Big Ol' Big Ol' Pancake. Big Old... Big Old Pancake? Yeah. The boy.

Isn't he sweet? Yeah, my little baby boy. We call him Cakey for short. Wow, he's adorable. I can see why. Yeah. It's the for short. Wow, he's adorable. I can see why. Yeah. It's the nipples. Wow.

G'day, guys. Hi. Hi, Brie. Oh, Brie. Thank God you're here. It's good to see you, but oh my God, this is so new.

Brie, can I see you over here for a second? Yeah, yeah, of course you can. Sorry, this is just an urgent thing. I'll be here with Cakey. The baby's name is Big Old Pancake. What? It's Big Old Pancake.

Big Old Pancake? Big Old Pancake? Big Old Pancake. The mother of Breathy. She's lost it. Yeah, okay. I just needed to tell you before you. Okay, cool, thanks. Sorry.

Oh, that's okay. That was awkward. It was just about a health thing. Oh, this is the new pup. Yes, this is Breathy's younger brother. This is Breathy's younger brother. And what's his name? This is Big Old Pancake.

I hate it friend of mine was telling me over the holiday break that she'd been trying to get a job for two months right she'd been trying to get a job for two months she'd uh have great interviews she'd have great feedback from them and she'd always get to the stage where they were calling her references back and whenever she got to that stage, then it would stop. What's wrong with her? Well, this is the thing. She was like clearly after, you know, a number of times, she was like there's something going on here.

There's got to be something up, yeah. That was a mean thing to say, by the way, if you're on the job hunt. But you would start to think that. Well, anyway, she ended up going for this job that she really, really wanted and put in all this work. Interview went great. They called her references and then all of a sudden the same thing happened. Everything changed.

And that's when she decided she would ask. She was like, hey, I just, I understand I haven't got the job, but can you just give me some feedback? Like why? And that's when they told her it was because of one of her references and what one of her references said. Okay. I'd be furious.

So were her references legit? I don't believe they all were. Okay. I'd be furious. So were her references legit? I don't believe they all were. Okay. Does she know which was the dud reference? She actually reckons it was one of her fake references. And were they trying to sabotage her? That's what she reckons. Which you've got, I mean, you've got some comeback on that.

But at the same time, you did add fraudulent references to your CV. And what do you say to the employer? Well, that's not a real reference, so it doesn't count. You can still hire me. That was actually my friend. We've all done it, and I thought, how about we test whether or not we're still a good fake reference? Sure, okay.

And so here's how it's going to work. Claudia, you're going to be the person calling from the place that's hiring and we just have to be a reference. For each other. You can be a reference for me and I'll be a reference for you. Okay. All right. Claudia is calling my reference, Briona. Hello? Hi there. Is that

Briona? Yes, this is she. Hi, I'm just calling about someone that you may know. His name is Clinton Roberts. Oh, yes. Clinton Roberts. Yes, I know him very well. Good. He's put you down as a reference for his new role. Okay. I just wanted to ask a couple of questions about him if you have time. Sure, fire away. So how long have you known Clinton? I would say at least

five years. Okay. Yeah, a number of years. Could you describe what his work ethic is like? Oh, pretty lazy. Oh yeah? Yeah, like lazy but fun. Right. So he would be a personality hire. Okay.

He'd be a bit of dead weight in terms of actually bringing anything substantial to the role. But in terms of vibe, he's on. Okay, great. Yeah. What do you think his biggest weakness is? I'd say at the moment it's his right knee. He's got quite a big weakness there.

He has to have it strapped at all times. Is that what you meant? Yeah, no, that is his physical weaknesses. And one more thing. Could you give me an example of an achievement that he's made? An achievement? Well, nah, pretty much nothing, eh? Right. Okay, well thank you so much for your time.

We'll be in touch with Clinton. He does have a great hairline for his age. Oh, okay. I'll make a note of that. That's an achievement. Sorry, just Brionton. Brioni is my name. Brioni, yeah. Okay, thanks Brioni, you've done enough. See ya. I reckon you've got it. I reckon you've got the job on that one. You, that was shocking.

You didn't build me up at all. Oh, she started good. And how dare you dead name me with Clinton? I'll show you how it's done. Okay, you show me. I'll show you how it's done. We're going back to the 1940s. Hello, Clint speaking.

Hi there, Clint. I'm just calling about someone you may know, Brioni. Yes, I know her well. Right. What has she done now? She's actually applied for a role with us, and we're getting to later stages. I just wanted to ask you a couple of-

Yeah, like a- Sausage role. Ham filled role. She eats a lot. Just a couple of questions about Brioni. How long have you known her? Too long. Right.

How long did she say? Much, not long enough, I think, was her exact words. Yeah, not long. Right, okay. Does she work well with other people? No, I think, was her exact words. Right, okay. Does she work well with other people? No, we had to keep her in a cage. Oh, okay. Do you know why she left her previous role?

Because we forcibly removed her from the premises. Okay, I'll note that down. And how does she handle difficult situations? With anger, venom, and vindictiveness. Okay, well thank you so much for your time, Clint. We'll be in touch with... Please take her. Please take her off our hands.

Please. Please. No. Alright, thanks. I think I got the job. I think. I think it showed, you know what it showed? It showed passion. It showed determination and drive. And they're three things you would need.

There's no question that the person was telling the truth, you know? Get rid of the cage.
