Starting point is 00:00:00 For a few years in the 1970s, the Mr. Asia syndicate made millions. Heroin creates its own market. It acts like a form of plague. Until jealousy, betrayal and murder brought it all crashing down. Clark would have threatened him. Go and kill him. If you don't, I'm going to kill you and your wife and your son.

Starting point is 00:00:32 Tonight, we are going to witness the most anticipated show in the history of professional radio. ZM Free and Clint. Happy Tuesday after a long weekend. It's a short week, so it's the long weekend that keeps on giving. I prefer my short weeks to end on Thursday than to start on Tuesday. You know, it's all a bit stressful starting your week on a Tuesday.
Starting point is 00:01:04 Mate, take what you can get. Oh, no, no, I will. I will. Well, you'd rather put in the work at the front end of the week and enjoy the back end. No, no, no, no, no, no. I like my short weeks to start on a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and then just don't do any work you had left on the Friday.
Starting point is 00:01:19 You know? Right. Whereas when you start work on the Tuesday, all of the stuff is there waiting for you that you should have done yesterday on the Monday. Not if you ignore it. That's my motto. How good's complaining about a long weekend?
Starting point is 00:01:30 I was like, mate, just take the long weekend and run with it. I did. And happy birthday to our friend Kings, by the way. Yeah. Or can we just say a big thank you to Kings? Because that was really nice that we all get a public holiday for his birthday. Yeah, yeah. It means a lot. I heard that he had a huge party yesterday for his birthday.
Starting point is 00:01:52 Did I send him an Instagram DM? Did you? I said, oh, happy birthday, man. Did he reply? He goes, thanks, my birthday's in August. Oh, he didn't get it. No, he didn't get it. Oh, no, that's embarrassing for you?
Starting point is 00:02:07 It's not embarrassing if you never reflect on yourself. It was already embarrassing. Yeah, that's it. But, like, for him not to get the joke makes it even worse. King's birthday weekend. I mean, it's pretty standard. Anyway. Anyway.

Starting point is 00:04:08 It is a cucumber. Nice work. Blew my mind when I found that out for the first time. Did it really? Yeah, I was like, whoa. Someone's like, bro, do you know gherkins are just small cucumbers? Whoa. No, I don't know if a gherkin is different to a pickle.
Starting point is 00:04:23 Is it? No. I feel like a gherkin. No, a gherkin different to a pickle? Is it? No. I feel like a gherkin... No, a gherkin is a pickle. Oh. Pickling is the process. A gherkin is the food. I'll look it up after.

Thanks to the Toolshed too. They've got 30 stores nationwide. The Toolshed, Kiwi owned and trusted by tradies. Bree and Clint. A pet insurance company has taken a poll and they've looked at what are the most popular dog names
Starting point is 00:05:58 in the last 12 months. Oh, yeah, that's good. And look, I'll be honest, when I saw the list, in my terms, I feel like they're quite basic bee dog names. Yeah, a lot of the time dog owners are basic bees. Excuse me. My dog's names are anything but basic. No, I'll agree with that.
Starting point is 00:06:21 I'll agree with that. I love meeting people that have unique and funny or like different dog names because I feel like it says a lot about them. What is it? Do you know what I'm saying though? There's a certain type or is it size of dog where the person who owns it is generally a basic B? I don't.
Starting point is 00:06:39 We've got to be careful here. I think there are, I mean, like with anything, maybe it's breed. Maybe it's, I don't know. Pidegree. Look, normally the bitses and the rescues, all I'm saying is normally they have cool names. Yeah. And usually they're cool dogs owned by cool people. Cool dogs by cool people. But let's go through the list. Let's run through the list. These are the most popular dog names in the last 12 months. Coming in at number 10, God, nearly being pushed out of the top 10,
Starting point is 00:07:14 is the name Bella. Bella. One of the most common dog names, I think. It's an iconic 2010s dog name. It has stood the test of time, that name, for many, many years. A lot of Bellas reaching middle to late age at the moment. Which I feel like the name Bella is now moving over into the human category. So maybe moving out of the dog category into the human. They often traverse both categories.
Starting point is 00:07:36 Yeah. Number nine, Archie. Archie has definitely moved into the baby boy category. For sure. Number eight, Ruby. Same with that For sure. Number eight, Ruby. Same with that. Ruby. Number seven, Frankie.
Starting point is 00:07:49 Ruby's a good dog name, I think. Oh, you'd be a basic bee dog owner. Nah, like a girl dog called Ruby. Really? Okay. He's a basic man. I'm just kidding. If you want to get a dog and name it Ruby, you go for it.
Starting point is 00:08:05 I think I've got a friend with a dog named Ruby and that's where it comes from. You'll just have problems when you go to the dog park because there'll be like eight other dogs named Ruby. Ruby. Eight other dogs will come. Number seven, Frankie. Yeah. You met heaps of Frankies.
Starting point is 00:08:19 Number six, Charlie. These are such on-trend baby names too. Number five, the amount of dogs that I've met with this name is very high. Coco. Coco, yeah. Such a common dog name. Coco's a Pomeranian. For sure, a little fluffy thing. Number four is Milo.
Starting point is 00:08:40 Yeah. I mean, I don't see all that. I haven't met all that many dogs. I feel like it's. I have. I've met a lot of babies and dogs named Milo. Yeah, I have to just think of it as a beverage. No.
Starting point is 00:08:51 Delicious beverage. Milo and Otis. I'm going to get a Milo after this. Number three, Teddy. Yeah. Poodle. Great dog name. Number two, Daisy.
Starting point is 00:09:00 Also moved into the human baby name category. Big time. And the number one top most popular dog name in the last 12 months, Luna. Luna! So many Lunas at the dog park. They're all running around. You've also just rattled off the list of like a central Auckland kindy. Yeah, I feel like it's crossed over.
Starting point is 00:09:25 The role of children at a kindy in Auckland. Definitely is, you know, crossed and weaved. A lot of learners out there though at the moment, a lot of learner dogs. You often find that when you get your dog or cat, you're not ready to have children so you end up giving it a name that you would love to give your kids. Yeah, but that's hard because then what if you want to use it? Then you go and have kids and you're like, shit, why did we use that good name on
Starting point is 00:09:47 the stupid cat? Well, here's a bit of advice. The cat isn't going to live forever. Yeah, change the cat's name. No, just have two. Just have two? Yeah, just have two Lunas. That's very confusing. When you go, oh, Luna
Starting point is 00:10:04 shit inside. Well, it could be either. That's true as well. Oh, Luna's two Lunas. That's very confusing. When you go, oh, Luna's shit inside. Well, it could be either. That's true as well. It could be either. Oh, Luna's thrown up again. Could be either. Oh, Luna's pissed on the plant. Could be either. I think we're going to have to put Luna down.
Starting point is 00:10:16 Okay, well, hopefully you would know what you're talking about. I thought I really wanted to ask people about their unique animal names. Yeah. Like I know these are all the most common and quite basic like everyone's naming their dogs you know Milo or Luna or Frankie but does your animal
Starting point is 00:10:37 have a really unique name? Are you fairly confident that you're the only person with a dog with this particular name? Yeah. Is it like Sir Fluffington the third of Nibia? You know, something crazy. It goes
Starting point is 00:10:54 super long and then there's like a story behind it. Yeah. Yeah. Or is it like Bree's dog, Meryl Streep? What's your dog's name? Do you think you're the only one who's got it? Bree and Clint. Does your pet have a really unique name? Like, we want to hear about the unique names. There's a list, and it gets released every year,
Starting point is 00:11:13 talking about the most common dog names. And every year, the name that's at the top of the list is Luna. So many dogs at the dog park named Luna. Yeah, it's an entire category of dogs. Mostly Cavoodles, I will say. Luna is such a Cavoodle. Such a Cavoodle name. Or a Labradoodle.
Starting point is 00:11:33 Yep. So we want to know, have you bucked the trend and you've come up with something original, unique, different? Izzy's going to go first. Hi, Izzy. Hi, Izzy. Hi, Izzy. Hi.
Starting point is 00:11:41 Hi. Do you reckon you've got a unique dog name? Yes. What is it? Honeypuff. Honeypuff? That's a cute name. Who came up with it?
Starting point is 00:11:51 Was it you, Izzy? Yeah, it was me. Yeah. What sort of dog is Honeypuff? A Foxy. A Foxy. She's six months old. Oh, cute.
Starting point is 00:11:59 I was hoping it was like a bulldog or something tough like that. A big German shepherd called Honeypuff. Honeypuff. Honeypuff. Okay, yeah. Good. Great start. That's a good one, Izzy. Thanks, Izzy.
Starting point is 00:12:08 Someone texted her and said, my dog's unique name, Prince Waffle Von Sprinkle Toes. I love that. Love it. But is that his real name? Is that what's on file at the vet? Or is that what you call him? Because you know animals have their name,
Starting point is 00:12:23 and then they have their cute name, and then they have their ridiculous name. Their real name. Because people always question me they're like, are your dogs really named Whitney Houston and Meryl Streep or did you just say that for fun? On their birth certificate They don't have a birth certificate. Yes they do.
Starting point is 00:12:38 No they don't. They don't have a birth certificate. Dogs don't have birth certificates. A puppy book. Really? Yeah and they have all their vaccinations in there. Oh yeah, okay. So their birth certificate. It's book. Really? Yeah, and they have all their vaccinations in there. Oh, yeah, okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So their birth certificate. It's their full name. Yeah, exactly right. Yep. Well, they've got
Starting point is 00:12:50 two last names, in fairness. They've got my last name at the end as well. Birth certificate. Ray's here. Hi, Ray. Hi, Ray. Hi, Ray.
Starting point is 00:12:57 What's your unique dog name? We call her Pilly for short, but her name is Pilly Miss Sissy. What does that mean? It means princess in Tongan. Oh, yeah. I like it. That's cute.
Starting point is 00:13:09 And is she a princess, Ray? Very much so. She might be a princess, but is she Tongan? Absolutely not. Love it, Ray. Thanks for calling through. Let's go to Nicole on I know $800 at M. Hi, Nicole.
Starting point is 00:13:25 Hi, Nicole. What are we dealing with? What kind of animal? Well, I had to recently have him put down, but he was a Maltese Shih Tzu. Okay. Okay, Nicole. What was your Maltese Shih Tzu's name?
Starting point is 00:13:40 Gizmosis Jones. And to the vet, he was registered as Gizmosis Jones Jocelyn Dempsey. That's unique. I like it Nicole. Where did it come from? Gizmosis Jones the multi-shit. It came from a cross between Osmosis Jones and Gizmo
Starting point is 00:13:58 from Gremlins because he had a bit of a Gizmo face with a I mean of course. How did I not put that together? Why did you even have to ask that question, Bree? It's like the most obvious answer in the whole world. Thanks, Nicole, and sorry to hear about gizmosis. He lived a very long life. He was 13.
Starting point is 00:14:15 Oh, good to hear, Nicole. Good to hear. Thank you, mate. We appreciate that. Someone texted her and said, growing up in South Africa, I had a staffie called Quatro. His name was Audi Quatro Four Paw Drive. Yes! My
Starting point is 00:14:27 car mad brother named him. I wonder if that was on his birth certificate. Finally, Kayla's here. Hi, Kayla. Hi, Kayla. Hi. Tell us, mate, what was the super original pet name? Please. Please? The dog's name was Please? Please.
Starting point is 00:14:43 Yeah. Good night, please. Did you have a cat named Thank You? No, no, but I'm sure we'll get there. Why was the dog called Please? Well, my husband thought it was really hilarious that he'd sound polite at least yelling at the dog. Come, please. Come, please.
Starting point is 00:15:03 Please. Get over here, please. Get over here, please. Oh, that's Please. Get over here, please. Get over here, please. Oh, that's funny. I get it. I get it. Stop dragging your bum along the carpet, please. Who pooed on the floor?
Starting point is 00:15:14 Was it you, please? That's so polite. That is so polite. I like that. Go poos, please. Go poos, please. I've never heard of that one before, so that'll do it. That's good.
Starting point is 00:15:24 Brian Clint, next on the show. Man, Brad Pitt's kids really don't like him. Like, they really don't like him. Yeah, they're all, like, estranged from him. They're all changing their last names and crazy stuff. We'll give you the latest update next at ZM. Brian Clint from iHeartRadio. This is the latest live from LA with Dean McCarthy.
Starting point is 00:15:43 Dean, obviously there's a lot of turmoil in the Jolie-Pitt camp. What's the latest on that? Oh, my goodness. Look, pretty people, ugly situation. Let me just say that. Here's the deal, right? I love saying that. It turns out, okay, here's the gossip.
Starting point is 00:15:59 Obviously, the ugliest breakup you've ever seen. But what is really getting dark is this story. So Shiloh Jolie Pitt, one of the children, has turned 18 recently, actually, and has formally and legally changed her name to Shiloh Jolie. Now, I also found out that all the kids have dropped Pitt, but she is the first one to drop it formally and legally. Right.
Starting point is 00:16:25 So they all go by Zilli as their last name. Yeah, but she is the first one to go down to the courthouse in LA and make this an official thing. Pretty sad, isn't it? Yeah. Obviously, it's very hostile. I mean, if that's going down. Yeah, and that whole story is quite murky,
Starting point is 00:16:45 from that fight on the plane to her claiming he had alcohol problems and then that big spat over selling that winery and stuff like that. And yet, Hollywood still loves Brad Pitt, right? He's got that new movie coming out with George Clooney. It hasn't really put a dampen on the later part of his career, has it, Dean? No, it hasn't, Clint. That's an excellent point you bring up because you might think that it might, but no, he is adored in Hollywood right now.
Starting point is 00:17:10 He did get up at the Golden Globes, I think it was, and talk about how he had struggled with drinking and how one of, I think it might have been Ben Affleck or might have been Matt Damon, one other big star had helped him on his road for recovery and it was really well received and maybe that was it. And also the other thing is we don't actually know a lot of the internal stories of what really went down in their relationship. Not really.
Starting point is 00:17:33 I feel like, Dean, there is a PR team working overtime and there has been on this for a number of years and they should pay them more money. One of my favourite things to do is to look at those galleries where Brad Pitt, you just Google Brad Pitt looking like his girlfriend. Have you done that? Oh, I love those. Every girlfriend that he's ever had, he has changed his style to look
Starting point is 00:17:54 like his girlfriend. He's morphed into them. Very good. That is the latest live out of Los Angeles with our Hollywood correspondent, Dean McCarthy. Free and Clint. Bad news for Spotify users. For the second time in the past 12 months, they are upping the prices. Right.
Starting point is 00:18:13 This does say in the US, but I do believe that it will be obviously... Heavens everywhere. Everywhere. Okay. Because they... If you remember last year in July, they upped the prices, because premium subscriptions, because I did look it up for New Zealand users, went from $15 per month to $17 per month.
Starting point is 00:18:35 That's right. So it was an increase of $2 for an individual account. And then for the duo account, so when you and your partners share an account. Me and my husband, were you going to say? No. I was speaking as in for everyone, like you and your partner, or maybe it's you and your bestie and you live in the same house. They went from $18.99 per month to $22.49 per month.
Starting point is 00:18:59 Jeez. And then the family price. For premium. For premium. This is for premium. And then the family price also. premium. For premium. This is for premium. And then the family price also. How much is it going up? So I'm not too sure because this is the American one.
Starting point is 00:19:11 So it's going up $1 for the individual, $2 for the duo, and $3 for the family plan. All adds up though, doesn't it? God, I tell you what. I tell you what. If you don't have premium, that's fine. That's fine. My sister doesn't have premium. No, and that's fine. If you're what. If you don't have premium, that's fine. That's fine. My sister doesn't have premium.
Starting point is 00:19:26 No, and that's fine. If you're an adult, you don't have premium or you're a tenant. Look at you being patronizing. You know who I judge? Who? Businesses. If I go into your business. Oh, yeah, I'm judging you.
Starting point is 00:19:37 If I go into your business. Yep. And there's music playing. And then all of a sudden, there's an ad that comes on and it's like, get Spotify Premium for uninterrupted listening. It does take you out of the retail experience, doesn't it? I'm like, can your business not afford $18 a month to be able to play music? You know what it is? You know what it is?
Starting point is 00:20:01 Sometimes it's the employees that work there and they don't want to listen to the playlist so they'll put their own phone on and they don't have Spotify Premium, you know? Okay. Because they might be young kids working in retail. Possibly, yeah. When I went home last Christmas and my sister insisted on playing her Spotify and she was like,
Starting point is 00:20:22 no, I've got all my playlists on here and I was like, I can get your playlist on my Spotify. Without any ads. And it doesn't have ads. But if you don't have premium, you're just used to it. You're used to whatever you have. Can I suggest, if you're listening, a fantastic free music service by the name of iHeartRadio.
Starting point is 00:20:38 iHeartRadio. It's free. It's free. And it does playlists. Or can I suggest you listen to ZM. It's free. And it does playlists. Or can I suggest you listen to ZM. It's free and the ads are very manageable. We promise that it won't sound as addy as what it's sounding right now. It got me thinking about all the different subscription services
Starting point is 00:21:00 that I have in my life right now. Yeah, it's good to audit these. It is really good to audit them and how a lot of them have been doing this where they're upping the prices and they say that they have to, you know, for a better quality product and to innovate and to update, they need to up the prices. I'll put mine together. What's your list of subscriptions?
Starting point is 00:21:21 So I think at the moment I'm running Spotify. Yeah. Apple, like Apple TV. Right. Which is like... What four? They've only got like four shows. Oh, they've got a few. Nah. They have one show at a time. That's it. They have the morning show
Starting point is 00:21:37 and then they've got that Steven Spielberg one. They had Ted Lasso. They had the Spielberg one. There's never been a time in my life where I've been watching two shows at once on Apple TV. You've got a point.
Starting point is 00:21:54 What else do I have? Neon. Neon's great. Disney. Disney Plus. Netflix. What else? You're at five. I've got World of Wonder, which is where I watch RuPaul's Drag Race. All right.
Starting point is 00:22:12 No, that is, that's a subscription service. Yeah, all right. How many have you got? Spotify? Yep. Neon? Amazon Prime? I've got Amazon Prime too.
Starting point is 00:22:21 Netflix? Yep. Sky Sport Now? I've got Sky Sport Now as well. And then this weird one called Headway where it puts books into 15-minute AI summaries so I can listen to a whole book in 15 minutes. I don't know. And how often do you use that?
Starting point is 00:22:35 I've used it a couple of times. I've used it a couple of times. A couple? Yeah. Once? I've been sold into it by an Instagram ad, okay? Don't judge me. Have you used it once?
Starting point is 00:22:44 I've used it three times last week. That's pretty good. Yeah. You're meant to use it every day, but that's fine. What do you mean you're meant to use it every day? Because you're meant to make headway on your learning experience. That's the whole idea of it. That sounds boring.
Starting point is 00:22:56 I'll use it when I want to use it. I have got bored of it, to be honest, and I'm going to cancel my subscription. How much is that one? Out of interest. I don't know. I'm on the free trial, and then I think it's like $21 a month. $21 a month. You have to get out before it changes over.
Starting point is 00:23:10 Yeah, yeah, yeah. I thought we could take some calls this afternoon. Are you someone that is running a lot of subscriptions? We want to find New Zealand's most subscribed person. Yeah. Yeah. Like how many subscription services have you got up and running right now? Count them up on your hands.
Starting point is 00:23:27 And if it's more than six or seven, we would like to hear from you this afternoon. You know who else I'd like to talk to? People that have none. Oh, you have no subscriptions. Do you use the free version of everything? Do you just use Freeview on TV? That's it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:41 0800 dials to them or you can text us on 9696. How many subs you got? Brie and Clint. Seems like everything is a subscription these days. We talked about ours before. Brie and I have got six or seven. And someone said that we are earning way too much money to have all these subscriptions.
Starting point is 00:23:59 Yes, but this is the problem. We don't remember that we have all of these subscriptions until they just come off your credit card and then it's too late to go and do anything about it. Okay. I kind of cycle through. I'll like delete some and then reinstall them. Can I tell you my hack?
Starting point is 00:24:15 You create a fake email account. No, I don't create it. So you can get a free subscription every time. Those were the glory days of Spark Sport. And look, we drove them out of business by doing that. So I hope you feel guilty. No, this is my hack for any subscription service. Don't get it.
Starting point is 00:24:29 No. Use a dodgy website. No. Okay. Sign up. Yep. Join. Yep.
Starting point is 00:24:36 Instantly cancel. And that way, they'll charge you for a month, and then you'll get to use it for a month, and then at the end of the month, the subscription will just end and then 30 days later, it will re-prompt you and go, hey, you don't have a subscription for this and then you just click the button
Starting point is 00:24:50 and you subscribe again. So you're buying it each month. It's not automatically rolling over. Like if you get Amazon Prime so that you can watch something and then you forget about it and then you pay for another month and you don't end up watching it,
Starting point is 00:25:01 cancel them straight away. Sign up, cancel. So you decide as you go. Yeah. If you cancel, we'll take the payment for the month and let you watch for a full month. And then at the end of the month, it will end. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:12 Better living, everybody. Well, we have asked you guys on 0800DIALS.M, do you have a heap of subscriptions? That's so hard to say. Or none? Yeah. Are you New Zealand's most or least subscribed person? Julie is here. Hi, Julie.

Starting point is 00:25:58 I mean, to be honest, the TVNZ Plus and 3... It's got heaps of stuff on it. It's got heaps of stuff on it. And say there's a TV show that everyone's watching, like the Kardashians or the bloody Baby Reindeer. What do you do? I've never watched them. I've never watched them before.

Look at Julie. And Celebrity Treasure Island. I bet you'll be watching every episode of that because it's free.
Starting point is 00:26:47 I have indeed. I've been watching them and I wait till the latest Survivor comes out and watches things like that. You're a cost of living inspiration, Julie. If we added up how much Julie would save, like each year, you'd be saving a bomb, Julie.
Starting point is 00:27:04 Oh, yeah. Compared to what some people at my work have, yeah, I'm saving a lot of money. I have a question. What do you spend your money on? Where do you think you do spend or waste a bit of money if it's not on that? Probably helping my partner get our race car ready. There it is. Ah, that's where it's going.
Starting point is 00:27:26 There's always some money pit in the back of the house somewhere. Fuel injectors. Yeah, and I need some tyres for a burnout competition in September. Ah, I hear you, Julie. Shit, I'm a fan of Julie. The money's going to a good place. Thanks, mate. We appreciate the call.

Starting point is 00:27:52 including the donation that I make to the gym each week. I didn't even think of the gym as a subscription. It is a subscription. You're so right. I love calling it a donation as well. Can you go through them, anonymous?
Starting point is 00:28:04 What ones have you got? Netflix, Disney, Neon Prime. Yeah. calling it a donation as well. Can you go through them, Anonymous? What ones have you got? Netflix, Disney, Neon Prime. Yeah. Cricket, for my cricket machine. Yeah. Headway, Moshi, which is for my babies to go to sleep. Okay. Spotify, Apple Music, Ancestry.com.
Starting point is 00:28:20 Oh, my God. iFit for my treadmill. Yeah. One Drive app, iCloud storage, and, yeah, the gym. Jeez. Anonymous, what does an Ancestry.com subscription get you? It lets you look into records in history, like birth certificates, death certificates,
Starting point is 00:28:41 all sorts of stuff like that. Do you need that one, Anonymous? Oh, yeah, because I really like to look into my history and my family history. That wasn't the weird one. What's your cricket machine? So, yeah, it's my crafting. So what does it do?
Starting point is 00:28:59 It lets you have free images to, like, cut for vinyl and all that sort of stuff. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Free access to all the different ones. That's good. That's a hobby. That's a hobby. That one's fine. You have free images to cut for vinyl and all that sort of stuff. Ah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Free access to all the different ones. That's good. That's a hobby. That's a hobby. That one's fine.
Starting point is 00:29:09 Of all your streaming services, do you watch them all or are they all just kind of there anonymous? Yeah, we've probably got one show on each streaming service. Oh, isn't it a punish? And that's how they get you. Well, there you go. Both ends of the spectrum. Thanks, Anonymous.
Starting point is 00:29:23 We appreciate it. Thanks, mate. No worries. There we go. I like how she knew them all too. She's like, this you go. Both ends of the spectrum. Thanks, Anonymous. We appreciate it. Thanks, mate. Don't worry. There we go. I like how she knew them all, too. She's like, this one, this one, this one, this one, just like rolling them off the tongue. I think we did it.
Starting point is 00:29:31 I think we found New Zealand's most and least subscribed people. That's them. Bree and Clint. Have you ever cried at the gym? Don't think so. I said that to my wife because we were listening to that on the weekend. My daughters are obsessed with that new Taylor Swift album. And we listened to it in the car and I was like, crying at the gym?
Starting point is 00:29:50 That's a weird place to do your crying. And she was like, yeah, she's down bad, man. She's down real bad. She's down bad. I think I've cried because the workout was too hard. Does that count? Yeah, that counts. But not because I was sad.
Starting point is 00:30:04 I don't think I've ever broken down in tears at the gym. But I do have a friend who is a personal trainer and she said that she, with the people that she deals with, she's 50% personal trainer, 50% like emotional therapist. Yeah, essentially. And some days some of her clients will show up
Starting point is 00:30:20 and she knows from like their demeanor straight away and she'll like have, she'll have their workouts set up for them and she'll go, is it go for a walk day? And they'll be like, yeah. I just want to go for a walk and talk to someone. Exactly, and they go for a walk and they talk. How good. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:35 I could do that, Jom. Could you? Yeah. I love that. I love talking to people about their emotional stuff. Some of the appointments are at quarter past five in the morning. Maybe not then. I don't want to talk to anyone at quarter past five in the morning. Maybe not then. I don't want to talk to anyone at a quarter past five in the morning.
Starting point is 00:30:48 Did you see Donald Trump has joined TikTok? No, I didn't see that he's joined TikTok. I went on his page an hour and a half ago. He has one video. He has 4.6 million followers already. And coincidentally, his one video has 4.6 million likes, which is a pretty amazing conversion, right? 4.6 million followers.
Starting point is 00:31:10 Is that a coincidence? 4.6 million likes. Seems a bit. Well, to me it goes, if you're going to like a Donald Trump video, you're probably going to go and follow him as well. Yeah, that just seems too like, I don't know. The video that Donald Trump has debuted on TikTok with is of him at the UFC. He's at a big UFC event.
Starting point is 00:31:33 And Dana White, who is the owner, boss, founder. All of the above. Bald guy from the UFC. He introduces him. Here's a little bit of Donald Trump's first ever TikTok video. The president is now on TikTok. It's my honour. And then he walks in like he's
Starting point is 00:31:53 one of the wrestlers and everyone's like, we love Trump, we love... You know what? I would love to see Donald Trump in a UFC cage fight. Oh my God. I would love it. That would be the pinnacle of 2024. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:10 Like stuff the Jake Paul and Mike Tyson fight. Who would he fight? Conor McGregor. Put them in the ring together. I would love to see it. The Notorious. What would Donald Trump's fighter name be? Cheeto.
Starting point is 00:32:25 The Enormous. The Notorious Vest, The Enormous. Yeah. I thought you were going to pick someone in his, like, age bracket. Okay, okay. Let's go more serious then. Because Hillary Clinton would love a piece. How old is Donald Trump?
Starting point is 00:32:39 He's 70-ish, 78, I think. Donald's 77. So who's, like, around that? Who would you say would be the best fight for Donald Trump? 78, I think. Donald, 77. So who's like around that? Who would you say would be the best fight for Donald Trump? What about one of the Baldwins? No, they're too young. They're too young to fight Donald Trump.
Starting point is 00:32:55 Alec Baldwin age. Alec Baldwin is 60. Yeah, he's 10 years younger. Yeah, no, that's a major age difference. I don't know. I don't know who it would be. Donald Trump joining TikTok is interesting, though, because he, when he was president, tried to ban TikTok.
Starting point is 00:33:12 He said it was... That's right, yeah. He said TikTok was a threat to national security because it's owned by China. And he tried to... He was the first president to try and have TikTok banned. Biden's also tried to have TikTok banned. They all want it banned, but now he's on it. And he said, yeah, yeah, well, I agree. If I was president, I would ban it, but I have to banned. Biden's also tried to have TikTok banned. They all want it banned, but now he's on it. And he said yeah, yeah, well I agree. If I was president I would
Starting point is 00:33:27 ban it, but I have to go. I have to go where the people are to get the votes. I wonder what he's going to do, what type of content. Do you think he's going to do like makeup kind of tutorials? Well his makeup is not good. Or is he going to do like comedic skits? Yeah, or dance videos. Or dance. Oh, he
Starting point is 00:33:44 could be a dancer. Is he a lip syncer? Is he going to do that? He might be a lip syncer. He'll lip sync to himself. Yeah. Yeah. Well, depending on your politics, TikTok either just got a whole lot less cool
Starting point is 00:33:55 or a whole lot more cool. Cool. Whatever you're into, man. Brian Clint. I want to talk about cheap weddings for a second and how easy or hard it is to pull off a cheap wedding in 2024 when
Starting point is 00:34:09 everything, everything is more expensive. Plus when you say wedding, when you put wedding in front of everything, I feel like the price goes up by at least 25%. Which is, if not more. Which is very true. Yeah. I think even wedding retailers will admit to that.
Starting point is 00:34:26 And sometimes it's because of the pressure that's added to the service because it has to be perfect for a wedding. Like this, a white dress normally costs you $200. Yeah. As soon as you go wedding dress, $2,500, thanks. But a wedding dress is not just a white dress. Yeah, but you know what I'm saying Yeah sure
Starting point is 00:34:46 I know what you're saying The same with the suit Like a bouquet of flowers $150 Wedding bouquet of flowers $400 $400 Oh it's the bride
Starting point is 00:34:56 It's the bride's bouquet $400 Our producer Ella is in the midst of planning a wedding at the moment So Ella I'm interested to know if any of these are tips that you would employ. I heard that Ella is getting an old bathtub in for the wedding reception, filling it with ice and then just putting all the booze in there. That's a good option.
Starting point is 00:35:15 How do you know? That'd be a fun way to do it. I've got an old bathtub if you want it. There's a few stains on it though. What are the stains? I don't want to know. But all the ice will cover the stains. The ice will kill the fecal matter.
Starting point is 00:35:27 Yeah, it's a pass. This is a woman named Jordana. I think she's a Kiwi. She's gone on TikTok and shared all of her wedding money-saving tips that helped her to throw a full, fancy wedding for less than $15,000. Keen. That was her budget. You know what is the best, though, to easily save money at a wedding?
Starting point is 00:35:45 Yeah. You just cull that guest list. Yeah. That's the best way. Yeah, okay, but if you don't want to do that, here's a way you can have it. But what if you really want to do that? Okay, well, this is for people who want to have people at their wedding. I'm not saying I don't want people at my wedding.
Starting point is 00:35:58 I just don't want certain people. Bree, Bree. Look, if you're not getting an invite to my wedding, don't be upset. Bree, this is for people with friends. Okay? Oh! First thing she did, she found the veil that she wanted, and then she went on Etsy and found a dupe of it.
Starting point is 00:36:12 She found someone who would make it on Etsy. Well, you're only going to wear it once. Exactly. Exactly. I like that. Okay, so dupes in general. Dupes in general. Okay, let's be real.
Starting point is 00:36:21 A veil is just a piece of lace. Yeah. You're so romantic. Don't have that at Spotlight. Wedding dress, just a white dress. Just a white dress. Husband, just a man. Put some diamantes on it.
Starting point is 00:36:32 The bouquet that her and the bridal party all hold. Okay. She got her grandma to do DIY bouquets. Oh. My sister, her hack, she had fake flowers. Fake flowers? Yeah, so there's certain companies that do wedding bouquets and they're fake. God, they looked real.
Starting point is 00:36:51 Right. They look so real and then you can keep it. Right. I think a friend of mine did that, yeah. And it's like a quarter of the price. Oh, my God, I hate that. This is a good one. Her dream wedding venue was outside of her budget,
Starting point is 00:37:06 so instead she just paid to have her photos taken at the venue. Didn't set up it as the full wedding venue. She just hired it for like an hour or so, and her and her husband had their photos at the venue. Oh, that's cool. Isn't that neat? I really like that. It's a good idea.
Starting point is 00:37:21 Or to even save more money, just sneak in, and when the security comes, you just book it. I do, I do. That's a good idea. Or to even save more money, just sneak in and when the security comes, you just book it. I do, I do. That's a good one too. She had the wedding in her parents' backyard? No. Your sister did that. It depends.
Starting point is 00:37:35 Yeah, but my parents live on a beautiful property. Yeah. No, and they didn't have the ceremony in the backyard. Right. They had the ceremony. Okay, we're not into that one. That's fine. We're not into all of them.
Starting point is 00:37:45 No, it depends. That's giving Kath and Kim wedding vibes. So you're not into buying Bunnings fairy lights and stringing them up in your parents' backyard? No, I like that. I would do that. And my sister, they did that, but it was in a 100-meter tall gum tree.
Starting point is 00:37:58 Okay. Okay, sure. Yeah. My dad had to get the cherry picker out there to do it. They made all the invites and wedding signs on Canva and then just printed them at Warehouse Stationery. Yeah. That's good.
Starting point is 00:38:08 Who cares where your wedding invites came from? Keen on that. Yeah. Let's go. They made all their, sorry, her brother had a cool car. He had a Land Cruiser. So they used that as the wedding car for the day and they got their brother to be the driver.
Starting point is 00:38:21 Perfect. Love that. I didn't even think about that. Yeah. I could use my dad's Godzilla skyline. Yeah, that'd be great. Or a moped. I want a moped.
Starting point is 00:38:30 One of you will have to drive, though. Yeah, true. It's only a two-seater. No, I'm going to do a power slide in like Paul Walker on the first Fast and the Furious. They did a DIY grazing table, and they got all their friends to set up the grazing table on the day. Love it.
Starting point is 00:38:43 Yeah. Love it. Who doesn't love a grazing table? They serve pizza at the wedding instead of having a full table on the day. Love it. Yeah. Love it. Who doesn't love a grazing table? They serve pizza at the wedding instead of having a full sit-down dinner. Love it. Yeah. Pizza's such good value for money. And they got some local cake maker off Instagram to make a cute little wedding cake.
Starting point is 00:38:55 Oh, my gosh. Yeah, why do you need a big, giant cake? You don't. You don't even just tell them it's a wedding cake either. Just say, I want a cute cake. Oh, I just want a cake. I've done that once. So the cake was made, but on the the wedding day they were like, can you just
Starting point is 00:39:05 decorate it with ferns? And so I just had to plonk some ferns on it. It was very stressful but affordable. Yum, cake and ferns. You were a cake maker? Yeah, for a day. It was weird. What? I don't know why. She reckons all those things together meant that she had a very fancy and it looks lavish, this wedding. Love it.
Starting point is 00:39:22 For under $15,000. I mean, there was only one of those things where we were. It depends. The venue. You were down on the venue. Yeah. We can find another cheap venue. And to be honest, you can find cheap venues.
Starting point is 00:39:31 Yeah. Yeah. Like, it doesn't mean. Even at the local swimming pools. Did you say a local swimming pool? Yeah, and then they've got those barbecues that you can put the $2 coin into and everyone can. I do love the way a local swimming pool smells.
Starting point is 00:39:43 You do? There's nothing better. Bridesmaids can get ready in the changing rooms. And it's had to be doused in so much chlorine to get rid of all the germs. And you're like, oh, yeah. Let's see if we can find New Zealand's cheapest wedding this afternoon. And I'm going to put a couple of criteria on this. Has to have been from this century, the wedding.
Starting point is 00:40:04 And you have to have had guests at the wedding, and you had to have served those guests something. Food. Yeah. Or drinks. If you can meet those criteria. Both. How cheap did you get away with your wedding?
Starting point is 00:40:14 Yeah, where'd you save money? Yeah, how'd you do it? 0800 dials at M or text 9696. Brianne Clint. A girl on TikTok has shared what she did to get quite a lavish wedding for under $15,000. And that's not us saying that $15,000 is an inconsequential amount of money. $15,000 is a lot of money in my opinion. Her wedding just looks like it would have cost a lot more than $15,000.
Starting point is 00:40:40 $15,000 on one day. Yeah. I just see this. And to be honest, that's a cheap wedding these days. That's wild to me. Yeah. So how cheap can you get it? How cheap did you get it?
Starting point is 00:40:52 Our criteria is your wedding had to be this century. Have guests. You had to have guests and you have to have served them something. Yeah. Okay? Doesn't mean you didn't do a pig on a spit in a, like Brie said, a bathtub full of stubbies. That's fine. That's fine. That's fine.
Starting point is 00:41:06 Just have to have served them something. Yep. What a stink buzz wedding if they don't feed you any food or drink. You should be illegal. I'd be ropeable. Emily's here. Hi, Emily. Hi, Emily.
Starting point is 00:41:15 Hi. Hi. When did you get married? I have not been married. I am not married. I am not engaged. My sister is though. Oh, yay.
Starting point is 00:41:23 Oh, it does sound like you're happy for her, Emily. That's exciting. How much are they having a cheap wedding? She's my older sister. So she is a graphic designer, a graphic designer with Cricut. Oh, my God. She has made so many things for her wedding. It's been amazing.
Starting point is 00:41:40 That's cool. She's done like table settings, posters, like everything you can think of. She's made it herself. This is the second call this afternoon we've had from someone talking about Cricut. Is Cricut like a 3D printer type situation? It cuts things out. It makes you like stickers and stuff. She makes my stickers for my small business too.
Starting point is 00:42:01 Okay. It's amazing. So you can design things in like Canva and then you can print them out in Cricut. Is that how it works? Yeah. Well you print them and then you like cut them out with the Cricut and the Cricut creates like like essentially it does, it turns it into a sticker. Okay.
Starting point is 00:42:15 Wow. Like she does t-shirts. She's done a bunch of t-shirts and stuff. Yeah. Really good. Okay. But you can't print yourself a wedding dress though, can you? So how cheap are we going to get this wedding? Well, we were very lucky. The lady who taught my mum to sew
Starting point is 00:42:31 many years ago said to my mum, I will make your daughter's wedding dresses. Wow. Wait, the wedding dress or the bride? The wedding dress. See, that's risky though. It is risky because, I mean, such an amazing offer, but what if you don't like it? No, no.
Starting point is 00:42:49 This woman made our formal dresses. Oh, so you knew what you were getting. She is a seamstress. That is her job. She is a dressmaker. Okay, so what do you reckon? Do you have an estimate of how much the wedding's going to cost? I reckon it'll be about $10,000,
Starting point is 00:43:05 and I think most of that is going to come from the venue and the food. Yeah, right. That's where you should be spending your money. Yeah. Like, mum and dad are great, and they pitch in with things and all of that. So, honestly. But also, we hack, you can get married on the beach or at a public park for free and the council won't stop you.
Starting point is 00:43:27 Oh, my God. That's true. Do you have to have a permit? I actually got married on the beach 10 years ago and she said to the council, is it allowed? They said, yeah, it's allowed, but if someone else wants to have a wedding, they're tough. Okay, that's a great hack.
Starting point is 00:43:41 One more quick one. Christy's here. Hi, Christy. Hi, Christy. Hi. I think Christy. Hi. I think you might have it. Do you have the cheapest wedding? I think so.
Starting point is 00:43:49 Ours cost $500. Wow. How many guests did you have? It was just close immediate family, so there was probably about eight to ten people there. Okay, and what did you spend the $500 on? Food and nibbles and some decorations really. And what did you wear?
Starting point is 00:44:07 What did you wear, Christy? A wedding dress, but my dress was donated to me. Oh, cool. Who from? Well, I put a post up on a wedding buy sale page. We were doing a quick wedding because my mother-in-law was quite unwell.
Starting point is 00:44:24 She's passed now. Yeah. And a nice lady donated her dress, and another lady donated a bouquet of flowers for me. Oh, my God. Look at you. That's amazing. Chrissie, that is awesome.
Starting point is 00:44:34 $500, and I bet your husband was still going, geez, anywhere we can get this price down? Yep. Yeah. Can we save a bit? Can it be a BYO? Yeah, his budget was $200. Okay, let me start with the
Starting point is 00:44:51 mandatories. Don't gamble. Don't. If you're going to gamble, don't spend more money than you're willing to lose and your chances of winning are incredibly low. Is that your TAB app going off? Yeah, it sounds like it. It's like, shut up, Clint.
Starting point is 00:45:08 Cool. Which I do believe, by the way. We all saw what happened to Tim Necky. You know? Yeah, that was hard to watch. You all seen how good it can be. And how sad. And then all of a sudden how sad and grim it becomes.
Starting point is 00:45:19 And grim. Yeah. Anyway, let's talk about Lotto. Anyway, there's $43 million up for grabs in Lotto Which, if it's not the biggest It's the second biggest Lotto prize of all time $43 million Which could all go to one person
Starting point is 00:45:35 One person could win $43 million this weekend It's so much money Yeah, it is Like we said, your chances of winning it are incredibly low But it doesn't change my mind from doing a bit of like theorising and hypothesising and daydreaming about what would happen if you won it. And today, this morning, I thought I'd run it through an interest calculator, like how much money you would make.
Starting point is 00:45:59 You know how everyone's like, oh, just bank it and live off the interest. That sounds fun. Well, it does in this situation. Look at you. It's big enough that it does sound fun. Look at you. Clint just, his mind ticks over where he starts to believe that he can actually win. I'm only going to buy one ticket, by the way.
Starting point is 00:46:15 I'm only going to buy one ticket. A $28 ticket, probably. No, I've bought my $15 ticket and that's all I'm buying. Okay. Okay, so. If you wanted to know by the way Back in 2016 One player
Starting point is 00:46:27 Yeah One single player Yeah Won 44 million Oh Yeah Okay so it's second biggest Then in 2021
Starting point is 00:46:35 Another single ticket took out 41 million Actually I think I remember that 44 million one And it was like It was a single ticket But it was like a syndicate of ladies in Taupo and they all got the they all became millionaires. I wonder
Starting point is 00:46:50 how many were in the syndicate? Yeah, you'd love to know. Anyway, I've done some googling. Okay. I've gone shopping for interest rates. Oh, here we go. I've found a term deposit rate that's at BNZ at the moment. I don't know if you could put 43 million dollars into a term deposit at BNZ but if you did they're offering 6 if you could put $43 million into a term deposit at BNZ,
Starting point is 00:47:05 but if you did, they're offering 6%. You could probably get better with $43 million. But let's say you got 6%. If you didn't touch that $43 million for a year, you would make $2.5 million. For a year. In 12 months' time, you'd have another $2.5 million on top of it.
Starting point is 00:47:21 It's not bad. But say you couldn't do that. Say the $43 million was sitting there and it was driving you mental. You're like, I just have to spend some of it. I just have to spend some. Okay, let's say you blew $3 million of the $43 million in the first year.
Starting point is 00:47:37 Bought yourself a house, paid off your parents' mortgage, paid off your partner's parents' mortgage and got a nice car. $3 million. Okay. You put $40 in the bank. In one year's time, you'd still earn another $2.4 million.
Starting point is 00:47:52 Great. On top of that. So you're back up to $43 million straight away. Great, you're just replacing what you spent. It's like a money tree that keeps growing money. Love it. If you banked that $40, if you spent $3 million, put $40 in the bank, you spent $3 million in the first year,
Starting point is 00:48:07 you could then, after tax, you could still spend $1.5 million a year after tax, and you'd still have, you could do that every year forever, and you'd still have $40 million in the bank when you died. You've really, you've really invested a lot of time in this, haven't you? I haven't spent too much time thinking about this. No, I feel like you've invested a lot of time. And I'm only getting one ticket. I mean, yeah, it would be great.
Starting point is 00:48:37 It's quite rare that one single person will win an amount like that, though. Yeah. Although Bree just gave out two examples of it, but yeah. Yeah, but that's back in 2021. I it's due you won't win you won't win you won't okay here's here's a bit if you win i'm so confident that you won't win yeah what should the bit be i'm so confident that you won't win no if you'm so confident that you won't win. No, if you're so confident. That I won't win. That you won't win. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:08 Promise me that you'll give me $2 million if you do. Promise me and shake on it. If I win $43 million, you can have some. No, you need to say the amount. You need to say the, see, look, he believes. He believes that he's going to win. We want to ask a really weird question this afternoon on 0800DALZM. And this came up last week, actually.
Starting point is 00:49:30 We were going to ask it apart from that. I can't remember what it was for, but we want to know, are you a millionaire and how did you become a millionaire? Yeah, what did you do to become a millionaire? Did you inherit the money? Did you invent something? Did you invest the money? Did you invent something? Did you invest? Did you invest in something? Did you find some item
Starting point is 00:49:47 at a thrift store that turned you into a millionaire? Maybe you're what's it called when you you're an heir or an heiress. Yes. Yeah. Are you from money? Yeah, do you come from money? We can keep you anonymous. Or you're self-made. We're just curious. We're just curious to know.
Starting point is 00:50:06 And how much? Are you a millionaire? How many millions? And how did you become a millionaire? 0800 dial ZM or you can text us on 9696. You can remain anonymous. Absolutely. We know how funny you rich people are about your privacy.
Starting point is 00:50:20 I don't want to talk about how rich I am. I've been fantasising about becoming millionaires in the lotto this weekend, which you won't win. Gamble responsibly. Don't gamble. It's $43 million. It is a lot. And if you won it in the first year,
Starting point is 00:50:39 it would make you another $3 million of interest. But you know why it's $43 million? Why? Because no one won it last weekend. And no one won at the draw before that. That's a very good point. That's why it's so much? Why? Because no one won it last weekend and no one won it the draw before that. It's a very good point. It's why it's so much. It's a very good point. You know?
Starting point is 00:50:50 It's a very good point. I'm not saying I'm not going to get a ticket. But do you know why I always buy a lot of tickets? Why? Because this is how I was raised. Well, you've got to be in it to win it. Whoever came up with that saying. I know.
Starting point is 00:51:02 Definitely ran a casino or a lottery or something like that. You've got to be in it to win it. Anyway, that's the only way most of us will become millionaires. But we want to know, are you one? And how did you become a millionaire? Did you win it? Self-made. Did you inherit it?
Starting point is 00:51:16 Are you self-made? What's your deal? And Jenny's called up. Hi, Jenny. Hi, Jenny. Hi. Are we speaking to a millionaire right now? Well, on paper I am. I'd have to sell, Jenny. Hi. Are we speaking to a millionaire right now? Well, on paper I am.
Starting point is 00:51:27 I'd have to sell my house. Okay. Wait, are you saying on paper, like property value, you're a millionaire? Correct. And you're not going to like this. Sorry. Okay. I bought more than 15 years ago for, let's say, in the 400s.
Starting point is 00:51:45 Okay, let's say in the 400s. That makes me feel sick. In what town or city? I've got about, I'm on the North Shore of Auckland. Oh, damn you, Jenny! Yeah, yeah. Bree, you probably don't want to hear I've only got about five years left with my mortgage as well. No, Jenny!
Starting point is 00:52:03 Okay, okay. Jenny, at the moment, can I just say, Jenny, the only thing I'm paying off my mortgage is the bloody interest. Correct. I've been there. Jenny, what's it worth now? What are we looking at? I'm still buying a lot of tickets.
Starting point is 00:52:17 No, you haven't given us the key detail. What's the price? What's the value of your $400,000 North Shore house now? Over a million dollars Yeah Yeah she's a millionaire She's a millionaire God
Starting point is 00:52:31 Hey Jenny Do you ever think to yourself I wish I had bought it Like tried to buy Another one back then I wish I bought two more Yeah Yeah
Starting point is 00:52:39 Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
Starting point is 00:52:39 Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
Starting point is 00:52:40 Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
Starting point is 00:52:40 Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
Starting point is 00:52:40 Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
Starting point is 00:52:40 Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
Starting point is 00:52:41 Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
Starting point is 00:52:42 Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
Starting point is 00:52:44 Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Please, don't we all. Okay, thanks, Jen. We appreciate it. Hamish is here. Hi, Hamish. Hi, Hamish. How's it going, guys? We're good. We're trying to meet a millionaire. Jenny's good. She's a millionaire on paper. I'd love to meet someone who's a millionaire in the bank. Is that you?
Starting point is 00:52:53 Not myself, but my grandfather. Okay. He grew up in the construction industry, so he was the head manager with a whole team underneath him in the construction industry. Right. And his old man who lived in hamilton decided he was going to stop um farming uh jersey cows and he decided to gift that land to my grandfather who then immediately with his savings bought the two plots next door on either side of it yeah Yeah. And he built, like, he himself built seven, eight units that are now worth,
Starting point is 00:53:32 well, then he would have bought the two plots of land for about $25,000 each. Oh, wow. Yeah, and what are we looking at now? What's our value? How much? Come on, we're dealing with Hamish. $3.45 million.
Starting point is 00:53:43 What? And then he bought a plot of land in the 40s, 45s, 50s. Yeah. And Clint's second favourite stomping ground, Whangamata. Yeah. Built a batch there too. Jeez. God, your grandfather's couched up.
Starting point is 00:53:59 Is your grandfather still with your grandmother? Grandmother's gone, but grandfather's still picking. And whereabouts is granddad? Like to drink. Yeah, where does he go? What's his local? What's his opinion on Australian women? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:15 He's based in Hamilton. Oh, okay. That's not too far. She'll commute. It's not too far. Bray will commute. I'll pay for my own petrol too. Finally, Olivia, how'd you make your fortune? Look, hey, it's not too far. I'll pay for my own petrol too. Finally, Olivia, how'd you make your fortune?
Starting point is 00:54:27 Look, hey, it's not a mill. But when you're in your 20s, 20 grand definitely feels like 40 grand as it was. 40 grand? Yeah, 40 grand. Wait, where did you get 40 grand
Starting point is 00:54:41 from, Olivia? I went on a game show in London. What? Golden Balls. Golden Balls? Yeah. You went on Golden Balls and won $40,000? I did.
Starting point is 00:54:53 That's amazing, Olivia. How does the game show Golden Balls work? So there are four contestants and you get your balls in front of you. This sounds made up, but it's not. And then you have to kind of do like a lie slash tell the truth to get through the final round. So you sort of pretend, oh, I've got
Starting point is 00:55:14 a large sum of money. Then you get through the final two and then you each have to choose whether you split or steal. Sounds like a game on Celebrity Treasure Island. Olivia, what does a 20-something-year-old living in the UK do with $40,000 cash? I could think of a few things.
Starting point is 00:55:32 I'm going to say I invested it so wisely, I spent it all on a van and went around Europe. That is a great investment, Olivia. Better than what you could have spent it on. I went back to New Zealand with none of it. Not a dollar? Not a dollar. Not a dollar. Got those memories though, right?
Starting point is 00:55:46 Yeah. It was amazing. You reckon it fuelled your trip for a lot longer, Olivia? Oh, it wouldn't have been possible. Like, there's no way without that 40 grand. Oh my God, you would have had the best time. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:55:58 Oh, you like, when little trips are like, you know, Ibiza or whatever happening, but this is just like, opened up. Yeah, it was good. Yeah. Oh, Olivia lived it up. Ah, there you go, Ibiza or whatever happening. But this is just like... There was. Yeah, it was good. Olivia lived it up. There you go, everybody. I was thinking the game show Golden Balls was going to be something to do with the balls dropping.
Starting point is 00:56:13 Yeah. You know? Yeah. Like, oh, we should bring it back. We should bring back that game show. Golden Balls. Yeah, and then, like, to get the special blue balls, you have to.
Starting point is 00:56:25 Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, yeah, yeah. We'll workshop it. So many innuendos. Bree and Clint. Bree and Clint. All I want for my birthday is a birthday banger. Right.
Starting point is 00:56:34 Birthday bangers, number one songs when you turn 16. You can call us up any time, well, this time of the day, and we'll do it for you. Who's up first? Emily is going to do their mum's birthday banger. Hi, Emily. Hi, Emily. Hi.
Starting point is 00:56:49 How old are you, Em? 14. 14. Okay, so you've got a couple more years yet before you can play. So we'll do your mum's. What's her birthday? 14th of December, 1973. All right, that means, Emily, your mum was 16 in 1989,
Starting point is 00:57:09 and here's her birthday banger. She had a little ruchy satire and a good vibe. We didn't start the fire. It's the original We Didn't Start the Fire from Billy Joel. What a tune. Do you like it, Em? Love it. Love it. Love it.
Starting point is 00:57:26 It's become popular again because of Fall Out Boy. The Fall Out Boy version is very good. We're going to do Nigel's birthday bingo. G'day, Nig. G'day, Nig. How are you? How are you, team? Good, mate.
Starting point is 00:57:35 How was your long weekend? Yeah, all good. Brie, I'm getting ready for the state of origin. Go the Mighty Maroons. Go the Mighty Maroons. Nigel, up the Maroons. Let's Mighty Maroons. Up the Maroons. Let's go, mate. Go the Maroons.
Starting point is 00:57:47 Bree and I were just talking about how excited we are for this one this year. It's going to be a ripper, eh? Oh, Nigel, you just got me real excited. My blood just started pumping. Let's go. We can't wait to see Reece Walsh out there again. Oh, mate. He had a bloody ripper on debut last year. We'll see what he can
Starting point is 00:58:06 do this time. But enough about Origin. Nigel, tell us your birthday, mate. 17th of August, 1969. Alright, mate. That means you were 16 in 1985. And Nigel, this is your birthday banger.
Starting point is 00:58:31 What's this, Nige? Do you recognise it? That's a double banger, mate. Is it? Is it a double banger? I like it, Nige. Absolutely. It's from Dead or Alive.
Starting point is 00:58:42 It's called You Spin Me Round. The tune. Okay, wait there. We're going to do one more birthday banger for Chrissy. Hi, Chrissy. Hi, Chrissy. Hey. Hey. How was your...
Starting point is 00:58:49 Oh. Oh, we like the vibe, Chrissy. Thanks for finally calling through. Thanks. And thank you for listening. Hey, mate, all we need is your birthday. It's the 26th of January, 1969. All right, Chrissy, that means you were 16 in 1985.
Starting point is 00:59:12 The same as Nige. But this is your birthday banger. Oh, yeah. Oh, Madonna, she was everywhere in 1985, wasn't she? She was. And that sums you up, too, as a first long-time listener, first time 1985, wasn't she? There you are. And that sums you up too as a first long-time listener, first time caller, doesn't it? It does.
Starting point is 00:59:30 It does. It's all connected. Jeez. Okay, wait there. There's not a single option there that our management would be happy with today. Is Ross still here? He's not? Cool. Well, it doesn't matter
Starting point is 00:59:46 if he is or he isn't. He's probably in the car. We always vote with our heart. We always vote with our heart. He's not here. We can vote for whatever we want. What are you thinking? How long are the souls?
Starting point is 01:00:01 Don't base it on that. No, but that's something I'm trying to... Billy Joel's four and a half. Okay. Laura Live is three. Madonna's three. Don't base it on that No but that's something I'm trying to Billy Joel's four and a half Okay Tidore Live is three Madonna's three Wait and now play
Starting point is 01:00:15 Play You Spin Me Round No absolutely not No Not the stuff Yeah Absolutely not. Oh, but Nigel, he's a Queenslander. I vote Madonna.
Starting point is 01:00:32 I tried for your nod. Queenslander. All right, we'll go with Chrissy. Like a virgin, Madonna, you've won, Chrissy. Yay. Yay. Thanks for listening to the show and finally calling through. Thanks, guys.
Starting point is 01:00:46 Bree and Clint. Bree and Clint. That would have been quite controversial when it came out, that song, wouldn't it? I reckon. I reckon so. It would have been like the 80s I Kissed a Girl. Which was quite controversial when it came out. In 2007.
Starting point is 01:01:01 Everyone's like, is she talking about... You can't talk about kissing a woman when you're a woman. Is she talking about, you know, doing a Frenchie with a woman? Oh, no. Anyway, that's Birthday Banger. We'll do it every day at 5.30. You can find out the number one song on your 16th birthday. What are we doing next?
Starting point is 01:01:19 Next on the show, you know when your partner really wants to do something? Yes. And they really believe in this thing wants to do something? Yes. And they really believe in this thing that they are doing? Yes. But you're like, oh yeah. You've got to support them. You've got to support them. Unless it is illegal.
Starting point is 01:01:33 Unless it's illegal, yeah, yeah, yeah. Then don't support it. For better or worse, it's in the marriage vows. Unless it's illegal, but it's really fun for you as well, then you can also support that. Yeah. There's one of those that's going on at my house at the moment. Okay.
Starting point is 01:01:48 Just got to go with it. Is it illegal? No, it's not illegal. It's spiritual. Oh, interesting. So we're going to talk about it next at ZM. Bree and Clint. I said it before and I stand by it.
Starting point is 01:02:00 If you're in a relationship and your partner is into something that you're not really into but it's not hurting you and it's not hurting them, you have to support them. You can't belittle it. Oh, no. You can't ridicule it. You can't. There's no win in that situation.
Starting point is 01:02:13 I also think you have a duty as a partner to be honest with your partner and make them see the light. Do you? Because if it's not hurting you and it's not hurting them and it's not hurting their reputation and it's not costing crazy amounts of money, do you? Or do you just let them be them? You know, do you just let them do their thing?
Starting point is 01:02:34 I can tell you're really battling. I don't think I am. I don't think I am. You've tried to convince yourself. I can see it all over your face. You're like, nah, it's fine. Let it be. Let it be. It's fine. But
Starting point is 01:02:45 inside, you're like, God, I want to say something. Well, no, I don't. No, I don't. Because, because... You get in trouble. No, because it's a high stress situation, okay? Okay. The backdrop to this at the moment is that our daughter is not sleeping well, okay? Which sucks. Which sucks. And it adds pressure
Starting point is 01:03:02 to everything in your life. Oh, yeah. Not having good sleep is the worst. Yeah, for the kid and particularly for the parents. Last night was particularly bad. And there's very little that I can do. When the kids don't sleep, particularly Maggie, our three-year-old, she doesn't want me. She just wants her mum.
Starting point is 01:03:20 Your wife is giving them a bit of Malibu, isn't she, at night? No, but I would support that. Bit of white rum? Yeah. Put them straight to sleep. Put that in the milk? Yep. If I got a full night's sleep, I would not stand in her way. No. Today, after a horrific night's sleep, my wife said that she is
Starting point is 01:03:38 going to spiritually cleanse our daughter's bedroom in case there are some bad spirits in there. She's getting the sage out, is she? She's going to sage the room. And she's going to forcefully but respectfully tell the spirits that it's time to leave. Is that what your wife thinks is the problem?
Starting point is 01:03:57 No, she said she thinks that that could be the problem. And so she's going to. So you may as well eliminate her. She may as well do it. And I said to her, I said to her, and tell me if this is a judgy tone or not. I said to her, great. Oh, you're so judgmental.
Starting point is 01:04:11 Because I wasn't trying to be. I was trying to be like, if that's what you want to do. Look on your face. Because you do anything, right? You hear people putting half an onion in the room to make the kids sleep. What if it works? This is the thing. It's not hurting you.
Starting point is 01:04:23 It's not hurting me. You don't have to do anything. She's going to do all of the work, saging and getting This is the thing. It's not hurting you. It's not hurting me. You don't have to do anything. She's going to do all of the work, saging and getting rid of the demons. Totally. Anyway, I got to midday today and I was about to leave for work and I said to her, hey, I've noticed you haven't saged yet. She's waiting for your judgmental Clint Roberts to leave so she can sage in peace.
Starting point is 01:04:41 You haven't shooed the spirits away yet. And she said, yes, I'm waiting for your negative energy to leave the house. I cannot do it in the presence of non-believers. It's true. It is true. It doesn't work. It doesn't work.
Starting point is 01:04:54 I just think at the end of the day, like from your wife's perspective, you may as well give it a go. Try everything. Throw the kitchen sink at it. And then what if it works? Mate, if it works, I'll go and buy the crystals. Will you be converted? Okay, will you be converted?
Starting point is 01:05:09 You are the least spiritual kind of in that type of realm. You're not into that stuff. I'm not a horoscopes guy. You're not into that stuff. Horoscopes guy, yeah. Which is fine. That's fair enough. But if this works, you need to promise me that you will be converted
Starting point is 01:05:25 and we get to read star signs on the show for a week. Yeah. Sure, sure, sure. But what is proof of it working? That Maggie gets some good night's sleep. Like a full week. Like I need a full week of sleep. No, no.
Starting point is 01:05:38 I want to say like we'll do percentages. So I'm going to say four nights out of the week she sleeps real good. Five. Fine deal. Five. Five. Maggie gives me. If she gets five good night's sleep.
Starting point is 01:05:53 My wife performs a seance to remove the spirits from my daughter's bedroom and it results in five out of seven nights solid sleeps. I will let you do a week of horoscopes on the show. Oh, no. We're going to bring back Bree's psychic radio. That's what's coming back. If it works, deal? Great.
Starting point is 01:06:08 I'll bring the sage. Deal. Bree and Clint. This is exciting times because there is a rare, a once-in-a-lifetime purchase car for sale on Trade Me right now. And I know we have bought amazing, unique cars in the past, but this one has been owned by a former prime minister of this country. Okay.
Starting point is 01:06:34 Check this out. Helen Clark's former luxurious Ford LTD BA V8 is up on Trade Me right now. I've seen this. It's a ministerial car. It's got the little flags on it. It's got the little flags at the front. It's a big, grunty 2000s Ford, isn't it? Oh, mate.
Starting point is 01:06:55 And it's the sort of thing that the Prime Minister rode in. And also, if they were picking up dignitaries like a Bill Clinton or someone from the airport. This is the car. That's the car. It's a 5.4 litre V8. This thing would fly. And we know from history that Helen Clark loves going in cars that fly. She's the Prime Minister who got busted doing 170 kilometres an hour
Starting point is 01:07:19 so that she could get to an All Blacks game. It does state, that's funny you mention that, it does state on the Trade Me post that despite its high profile past, it is not the same car involved in the infamous high speed journey across the South Island in 2004. Ah, bugger. It's not the same. It'll be the same kind of car though.
Starting point is 01:07:39 Same kind of deal. It'll be one from the fleet. Yeah. It will be. Yeah. 170 k's an hour on an open road. She didn't even know that they were going 170. I think that's from memory.
Starting point is 01:07:50 I think that's what she said. She said she was in the back and she didn't notice how fast they were going. God, this thing must be a tank. Yeah. Must be an absolute tank. It won't be bulletproof. We don't do that to our cars here in New Zealand. It won't be?
Starting point is 01:08:02 I don't think so. None of the Prime Minister's cars in this country are bulletproof? I don't think so. Or maybe they just don't tell you that so you just don't shoot at them to find out. I don't know. Yeah, maybe. I know that after these Fords,
Starting point is 01:08:12 John Key's government went to BMWs. Oh. And then Jacinda's government... He wouldn't be caught dead in a Ford. Yeah, I know, right? He's too fancy. And what did Jacinda Ardern do? Jacinda's government didn't upgrade the fleet from memory to save money
Starting point is 01:08:27 and she preferred to go in her punishing Hyundai electric car. Not that all Hyundai electric cars are punishing, but the one that she had was particularly punishing. What did she have? She had like the Elantra or something humiliating like that. It was ugly. But she was like, it's environmental and it's... It's cool.
Starting point is 01:08:47 It's responsible. I wonder what she drives now that she's not like in the limelight. She's so low key, she'll be driving the same thing. Or a Prius. Yeah, or... Or a Leaf. A Leaf. I reckon she's driving a Leaf.
Starting point is 01:08:57 Or now that she's out of the public eye and she can relax a bit, maybe she's got a Lexus. Oh, could do. Anyway, how much for Helen Clark's car? You've got my interest and we do like to buy silly cars. We do. And to drive across the car in Helen Clark's former ministerial car would be a bit of fun with the flags on the front.
Starting point is 01:09:11 It would be. We could dress our producers up as Secret Service. Yeah, put them in suits. That would be good. Look, the current bid on Helen Clark, the former prime minister of this country's car, the big Ford V8, over $20,000. Oof.
Starting point is 01:09:28 $20,600 at the moment. For a 20-year-old Ford Falcon? Yeah. It's pretty old. Yeah. I wonder how many, hold on, wait. Should I look at how many kilometres are on the dial? No, that's fine.
Starting point is 01:09:42 I don't have 20 grand. Even though it's got 10 Ks on the clock, I don't have 20 grand to spend on an old dunga. But thanks. Well, you let me know. You let me know, but 20 Ks.
Starting point is 01:09:51 Yeah, I'll put it on my watch list. Okay, sweet. Yeah, cool. Thanks. Cheers, mate. Thanks. Play ZM's Brand Clint
