ZM, Brie and Clint.
Afternoon everybody, welcome to the Brie and Clint show on ZM.
G'day guys, happy Wednesday.
What's the hap, what's the hap, hap, happening?
I just demolished the rest of that tube of Pringles that you brought in.
Yeah, I, mate, you should have seen. They're so small now.
I was going to ask, has the Pringles tube got smaller or has my hand got bigger?
The actual chip has gotten smaller. I can fit about 15
Pringles in my mouth at one time, no joke. Can you? Yeah.
I smell a good video. I smell a good video for the internet.
I reckon I could ease it off.
How tall do you reckon 15 would be?
Is this vertical or horizontal 15 chips?
It doesn't matter.
You can go horizontal or vertical.
You just need to get 15 in the mouth at one time.
Uncracked.
No, not uncracked.
You just need to jam them in.
No, I want uncracked. Stack them between your head. How are you meant toacked. You just need to jam them in. No, I want uncracked.
Stack them between your hands.
How are you meant to do that, though?
Just slide them in.
We'll get the Pringles.
You limber up that jaw of yours, okay?
I'm going to get locked jaw again.
I don't think I can.
I don't think we can say that in the workplace, but anyway.
How am I going to explain that to my doctor?
Hi, I'm back again.
Get out the grow bar.
Once I popped, I couldn't stop.
All right, let's get things underway.
There's cash up for grabs at four o'clock on our show today
with the $25,000 cash catch up.
And there's cash up for grabs right now with KFC and Tradiverse Lady.
$50 cash to be exact.
If you want it, you've got to call us. 0800
dial ZM. We'll get you on. You'll play
someone else. We'll have a bit of fun.
That's how it works. What's the best flavour of Pringles?
Sour cream and chives.
Oh, yeah. Oh, so good.
Is that right, though?
Once you pop.
Mate, I'm still going.
Time for Tradie vs.
Lady.
It's Tradie vs. Lady. It's Tradie vs. Lady.
Three, two, one, let's go.
Tradie vs. Lady for a Wednesday.
The ladies picked up a win yesterday,
which they broke into the 90 points.
The Tradies trail on 82.
Let's meet our lady first.
She's in Auckland, she's 34 years old,
and she currently looks like a whale.
Welcome to the show, Megan.
G'day, Megan.
Hello, hello.
How many months pregnant are you?
Too many.
Too many months pregnant.
Are you overdue?
No, no, I'm not.
I'm 29 weeks, but I feel like I'm just over it.
Oh, mate, you've got so long to go as well.
I know.
Oh, mate, just book in and tell them,
get this thing out of me ASAP.
It's my second time around, so I know what I'm in for.
Yeah.
You're so over it by that stage, I bet.
You went into this knowing what you had in store, so jeez.
Yeah, brave or stupid.
Brave or stupid. You're taking on our
tradie today. They're calling from Hamilton.
They're 30 years old and they've never
broken a bone. You've jinxed it now, Sam.
Don't worry, Sam.
There's plenty of time left. You're only
30. Yeah. Thanks
for that. Yeah, hopefully
it won't break anything anytime soon.
Did you ever just want
to get a fake cast on
so you could get people to write cool notes on it?
Oh, just to see what it feels like.
Yeah.
I remember being jealous of friends at school.
I guess, right?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Ah, well, there's still time.
Sam, your buzzer is tradie.
Megan, yours is lady.
First to three correct answers gets $50 cash from KFC.
Good luck.
Here we go, guys.
Question number one. What is
one of the main ingredients in
pesto? Tradie.
Yes, Sam. Is it
basil? Yes.
I would have accepted basil or pine nuts
as one of the main ingredients.
Question number two. Buzz in
when you can tell me who sings this song.
Oh, aren't you
staying with me?
I think Sam just got in there.
Is it Sam Smith?
It is Sam Smith.
Correct, Sam.
It is Sam.
Nice work.
You are two.
That was the second one you've got on the board.
You need this one here, Megan, if you want to stay in it, okay?
Hard on that buzzer.
Question number three.
Which actor plays Thor in the Avengers movies?
Lady.
Oh, Sam, you're killing Megan over there.
Chris Hemsworth.
What's the answer?
Chris Hemsworth.
Well done.
He's got it.
I feel like Megan knew all of them, just not as quick on the buzzer.
I bet you did, Megan.
Sam, how dare you do that to a heavily pregnant woman?
I blame the baby. I'm so sorry, Megan. I'm so sorry.
The baby makes you slower in all ways, Megan. It's holding you back.
But Sam, go in.
$50 cash coming your way. Awesome, thank you.
I'm not going to calm down because this next story is going to rattle some cages.
I'll tell you.
Sit down.
Strap in.
Listen to this.
So a 24-year-old woman has been looking forward to being a part of her really good friend Zoe's wedding as a bridesmaid.
Yeah. She got asked to be a bridesmaid. Yeah.
She got asked to be a bridesmaid.
Not a caterer.
No, not a caterer.
She's looking forward to it.
She's been helping out with all the important planning duties and really pitching in.
Anyway, her friend Zoe, the bride,
asked her out for coffee.
Oh, yeah.
Without the other bridesmaids.
Oh, skendo.
Someone's getting cut.
So she was like, this is a bit unusual because, you know,
normally we all meet as a bridal team and discuss things.
Maybe she's getting promoted to maid of honour.
Well, that's not what it was about.
Okay.
Apparently her friend Zoe, who is the bride,
called her to meet for
coffee because she wanted to ask her a question right the question was whether she'd consider
getting her mole removed before the wedding explaining that she wanted everyone to look
good in the wedding photos as well as on the wedding day.
That's outrageous.
Where's the mole?
Wait, it gets better.
So the mole is on her face, on her cheek.
I think her right cheek is where the mole is.
And it's about the size, do you guys have five-cent pieces?
Not anymore, but we've got ten-cent pieces.
It's, you know, like a five-cent piece.
Don't have those.
What size is that?
People have seen a five-cent piece.
They'll know.
She explained, anyway, she said she explained to her that she would pay for it to get it removed
and that she would just need to, yeah, go in and get it done before the wedding
with enough time for her to heal.
So she wanted her bridesmaid to have surgery for the wedding.
Correct.
That's outrageous.
This girl was quite a taken back and said she needed time to think about it
because the mole on her face she's always been self-conscious of.
Oh, yeah, true, yeah.
But in recent times she said she stopped caring as much.
She was not wearing as much makeup over the top of it.
But then she's like, oh, well, she is saying she'll pay for it.
Do I get it removed?
Don't I?
Oh, she thought maybe it was a good opportunity.
Well, I mean, I think it's outrageous.
Outrageous that the bride would even ask that question.
So do I.
Yeah.
Like just.
It's up there with asking someone in your bridal party
to lose some weight for the wedding, isn't it?
It's the same.
Yeah.
Like, am I your good enough friend that you want me to be in your bridal party?
Yeah.
Then you should love me for me.
But also the language that she used.
She said, we want everybody to look good.
So what she's saying is-
Exactly.
You don't, with that mole, you don't look good.
The only acceptable thing for a bride to ask of her bridesmaids is for them to look worse than her.
Yeah, great point.
On the wedding day.
I remember my sister on her wedding day and I was one of the bridesmaids.
And I said, Amber, what do you want for my hair and makeup?
She goes, I don't give a shit.
You can get whatever you want as long as you don't look better than me.
I don't care.
As long as you don't get the same thing as me.
I do not care.
Yeah, wow.
Anyway, I just think people.
That poor woman, I can't believe she's even entertaining the idea.
I get it if she has wanted to have it removed in the past.
Yeah, but it's probably because of stuff like this where people judge her.
This is the wrong motivation.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I would just out of pure what is it spite pure um
oh no i need i need principle yeah not take her up on this offer yeah go to the wedding yeah
mole and all yeah in all its glory and then if i wanted to for myself get it removed as something I wanted to do I would do
that later on well the ultimate passive-aggressive move would be to book your mole removal for the
day after the exactly yeah stuff her I'll do it for me not for your bloody wedding photos
poor mole woman that's god makes me so angry I thought we could ask people because I think that is outrageous,
but I don't understand why people just, when they get on this wedding vibe,
they think that they can just ask all these outrageous things.
Not everyone.
No, not everyone.
But I have heard some crazy stuff.
Some people go way over the top.
Way over the top.
0800 dial ZM or you can text us on 9696.
Were you asked to be in a bridal party, a groomsman or a bridesmaid?
And did they have an outrageous thing?
That went with it.
That went with it.
Could be appearance wise.
What was the request?
Could be financial.
Could be a financial request.
Could be an outrageous financial request.
Or an emotional blackmail situation.
Might have been that they wanted to completely dye your hair a different colour.
That is, anything where you're having to change your appearance, to me.
Maybe you're a short king and they wanted to put you in platform shoes
so all the groomsmen looked the same height.
Maybe you got long hair and they wanted your hair cut into a bob.
Oh, $800. $800. And then and they wanted your hair cut into a bob. Oh, $800 at M
where you can text your story into 9696.
We can keep your name out of it,
keep you completely anonymous if you need it.
The question is,
what was the outrageous request that you got given
to be a part of the bridal party?
Someone text through and they said,
you know who the real mole is?
The bride?
The bride.
Bree and Clint.
This is very similar to that.
I think it's right up there with it.
Someone has texted and said,
my now wife asked me to remove my mullet for the wedding.
Two years of mullet gone for her.
Eight months into the marriage
and I'm now about to get a mullet again.
I haven't cut my hair since we got married.
That's fair.
Yeah. I think that's a fair deal. You can't grow your mole back, can you? No, you haven't cut my hair since we got married. That's fair. Yeah.
I think that's a fair deal.
You can't grow your mole back, can you?
No, you can't.
You know, what about Enrique Iglesias?
I know.
He'd regret it.
Do you reckon he does regret it?
I don't know.
It's a different person.
It's hard to tell.
It's a part of you.
Oh, $800 at him.
Jimmy's here.
G'day, Jimmy.
G'day, Jimmy.
G'day, guys.
How are we?
We're good, thanks.
Jimmy, did you get asked an outrageous request
to be in a bridal party? Oh, absolutely ridiculous. It was a
beach wedding and all the boys had to
wear the full tux and shoes and
I just wasn't going to have a bar of it, but in the end, ended up
doing it.
And the excuse was that I've got hobbit feet.
And the bride didn't want to have my hobbit feet in the photos.
And I couldn't really say much to the groom to be on my side because I am the groom. Oh, Jimmy.
So the whole wedding had to wear dress shoes in the sand because of your crusty hobbit feet, Jimmy. So the whole wedding had to wear dress shoes in the sand
because of your crusty hobbit feet, Jimmy.
Oh, just to get this right, only the boys wore shoes.
The ladies had lovely sandals, so they were in the nice, you know,
they got snares through their toes.
And I can't remember one guest wearing shoes.
They all had jazz.
Well, you were sn for a Kiwi.
I'd be roping them.
Yeah, yeah.
Who's wearing a dress shoe down to the beach
unless it's on New Year's when you're absolutely steamed?
Thanks, Jimmy.
Someone texted and said,
they got me to cover up my tattoo with makeup on my shoulder
to be a part of the bridal party.
It made such a mess.
I bet it did.
How annoying.
What about this text?
The bride asked me to try and sleep with her fiancĂŠ
to check he was serious about the marriage.
I did not do it and she cheated on him 18 months after the wedding.
That is outrageous.
Look, I've got a...
Hey, babes.
I've got a bit of a favour to ask.
It's a small one.
It's a fun one.
Can you try and do this for me?
I'd be like, what are you saying?
Can you try and sleep with my fiance?
It'd be kind of a compliment.
She was clearly projecting though because she cheated on him.
Yeah.
Let's talk to Anonymous.
Hello, Anonymous.
Hi, Anonymous.
Hi.
Was it you that got asked something outrageous?
It was.
The bride asked me to purchase a specific dress from a store that did not go up to my size.
Oh.
And I was told to lose weight.
No.
Which was two dress sizes.
So I ended up spending a couple of hundred dollars getting it altered to fit.
And then she goes, it would be really good if you could get your teeth fixed before the wedding.
Oh, nah.
Did you tell her to shove it, Anonymous?
The teeth didn't happen, but the dress got made too fit.
Oh, you're too good of a friend, to be honest.
Who was this person to you?
A sister-in-law at the time.
A sister-in-law.
Right, okay, so not one of your chosen friends. No, no, no.
Married into family.
Yeah, gotcha. Get your teeth fixed. You should have said,
can you get your attitude fixed?
Like, get your personality fixed. Can you get your manners
fixed, you rude bee? I'll pay for you
to have a personality check.
Round two for me, you just
surprise everybody at a birthday party and do it
without any drama.
Thanks, Anonymous.
We appreciate the call.
God, the nerve of some people.
I just don't understand why, like if I was getting married,
the last thing I would be thinking about is those little things.
No, exactly.
Like I don't care about that stuff.
Yeah, it's not what's important.
I just want the people who I love the most around me,
not what they look like.
In a really big bar tab.
Yeah, and a huge bar tab.
That's exactly, that's all that matters.
I am the person you love.
Oh, yeah, they can come.
They can come, yeah.
As long as they don't get their stinky hobbit feet out.
Bree and Clint.
Speaking of money, do you ever,
do you think about retirement, Bree?
Do you ever think about retirement?
I'd love to retire.
Yeah, yeah. I feel like a lot retirement? I'd love to retire. Yeah.
Yeah.
I feel like a lot of people would like me to retire too.
Do you think you're going to make it to 65?
Nah.
Nah.
Nah.
Nah.
65, can I just say, I've done the math in my head.
Yeah.
It's so unfair.
It means.
Like, the math doesn't add up.
Like, we work until we're 65 where we're old and frail.
Well, let's be real.
Yeah, careful.
65 isn't old and frail.
But you know what I mean?
It's not our best health of our life, 65.
No, it's not your best years.
No, it's not our... Well, it can be because you're going to be retired.
But you know what I mean.
I know exactly what you mean.
So, 65 and then what if I die at 70?
So, I get, what, a die at 70? So I get what?
A good five years?
It doesn't work.
Also, this will depress you.
You have, if you're going to retire at 65,
you have the same amount of time left to work
than you have already been alive.
Wait, say again?
You're 33 and you've got another 32 years of working left
if you're going to retire at 65.
Isn't that shocking?
Yeah, that's horrible.
So let's talk about retirement briefly.
Do you have KiwiSaver?
Yes, I do.
Everyone's banking on that to get us there, eh?
I don't think it's enough.
When we get our KiwiSaver, are we going to be going on yachts?
I don't think so.
Drinking champagne?
Depends what fund you got it in.
Car paying the DM. There's numbers out Depends what fund you got it in. Car paying, the DM.
There's numbers out today that say if you're planning to retire
in one of New Zealand's big cities, like in Auckland, Wellington,
Christchurch, Tauranga, that sort of thing,
and you want to enjoy a couple of nice things like luxuries,
like some treaties and some date nights, that sort of thing,
the amount of money that you need to have saved,
if you want to retire...
A single person retire A single person
$415,000
Where am I going to get
That's now
Can you imagine what it's going to be when we're 65
And that if you're in a couple
That's each
That's how much money you need each
I wonder people sell the family home
And go on a bloody RV tour
A couple So let's look at couples I wonder people sell the family home and go on a bloody RV tour. Live on a cruise ship, yeah.
A couple, so let's look at couples who want to live a no-frills lifestyle,
so not luxury.
Who wants to live a no-frills lifestyle?
Nobody, but maybe that's all you can afford.
A no-frills lifestyle in a big city, you need $235,000 as a couple.
That's for a couple. And how long are they banking on you living?
Yeah, it's a good question.
I think 20 years.
Right, okay.
I think this covers you for...
Until you're 85.
Maybe 15 years.
Doesn't seem like enough.
If you live rurally, you only need $120,000 as a couple
to have a no-frills rural retirement.
As a couple or each?
No, as a couple.
Oh.
Yeah, that's no-frills rural. Okay, that or each? No, as a couple. Oh. Yeah. That's No Frills Rural.
Okay.
That's the option you've picked.
Sign me up.
If you're a couple in an urban area, we already covered it,
you need $831,000 for what they call a choices lifestyle.
And that means you can choose to have takeaways
and you can choose to go on the odd overseas trip.
Probably not much though. And if you want
a rural version of that, you need
$539,000. Still
a lot. Yeah.
Much cheaper to live rurally when you're retired
though, it turns out. It's cheaper
to live rurally now.
Is it? What do you think?
I've got to go rural.
The reason why not as many people live rurally is because it's so hard to say rurally.
Exactly right.
You know?
Yeah.
That's the biggest deterrent.
Also, people keep telling me that I'm not particularly rural.
You?
Nah.
I think you'd fit right in.
My V-Dub golf wouldn't go very well on those unsealed roads.
Anyway, that's depressing.
I hope you do have KiwiSaver because otherwise we're all screwed.
Do you enjoy a water park like a wet and wild or a...
Nope, hate it.
Yeah, me too.
I don't like being in a bikini or togs for long periods of the time
around people in public.
Do you know what my least favourite part is?
It's standing on those metal stairs, queuing up to go back up the slide,
and everyone else's wetness is dripping down onto you.
That's wee.
It's cold.
I'm sure there's a bit of wee in there.
A bit of sweat, a bit of body juices that's run off some person above you.
Drip, drop, drip, drop.
And it's humiliating.
You're just standing there with your stupid nipples out.
It's not for me. Well, I don't have my nipples out.
I mean, I would if it's legal. Yeah, okay. Oh, you would, would you? Yeah. Okay.
Why not? Let them free. Well, maybe we can have a referendum on that.
This is a story about a woman named Emma McGinnis. She's
suing Disneyland for a wedgie injury that she sustained on a five-story water slide.
It seems like a fairly decent-sized water slide.
And it sounds like a fairly decent-sized wedgie.
Well, I mean, we've all sustained a wedgie on a water slide.
I mean, what's new, McGinnis?
Apart from the course, McGuinness.
What did it do?
Did it rip you a new one?
Literally, did it?
She was at Typhoon Lagoon at Walt Disney World in Florida.
Okay.
The ride that she went on was called the Humunga Cowabunga.
I thought you were going to say it was called ripped you a new one.
No, it's called Humunga Cowabunga at the Typhoon Lagoon.
It's the fastest and steepest water slide at the park.
It features a nearly 65-metre vertical drop.
Yeah, that's a big drop.
That's a big drop.
That's a big wedgie.
Then you go into a long canal of water that's meant to slow you down.
So you go straight down and then you fly out forwards, and that's meant to slow you down. So you go straight down and then you fly out forwards and that's meant to slow you down. What happened to her?
In her lawsuit, Emma says that she suffered a
quote, injurious wedgie. An injurious
wedgie. What's an injurious? It means the wedgie injured her.
Oh, right. Okay, the wedgie was so bad that she got an injury
from it. An injurious wedgie.
It was her 30th birthday and she said that the wedgie forced her togs to, quote, go inside her body.
Oh, that's not good.
How humiliating.
I can taste the leather.
She's wearing a one-piece as well.
Well, let's be real. Any ladies out there that have worn a one piece,
you're prone to getting a wedgie in a one piece. Because your shoulders pull it up,
don't they? Yeah. They pull it up and then the only place where the tension can be relieved
is down in the valley below. Yeah, it's just not ideal.
She said she
had to go and see a gynecologist
and her and her husband are seeking $50,000 worth of damages
for the Humonga Cowabunga wedgie.
$50,000 wedgie, according to McGuinness.
What is wrong with some people?
Do you reckon she actually got injured?
Hard to know with Americans, isn't it?
It is hard to know because in America they do have these problems
where people try and sue.
Yeah, people just try and sue because they're trying to get some money.
Which you think would mean that they didn't do anything fun over there
because they're too scared of getting sued.
But no, they still built and launched the humongous cowabunga
and good on them for doing it.
You've got to take risks.
You've got to take risks. I mean that's what McGuinness did.
If we have to pay McGuinness $50,000
for her injurious wedgie so that everybody
else can go on the humunger cowabunga
well God bless America.
Obviously she went to the doctor
if she's taking these people
to court. I'd love to
see the doctor's report.
Well that would have to be tabled.
It would have to be in there.
Yep.
Photos.
Like, can you imagine?
Did the husband get photos of the wedgie before she picked it out?
Like, yeah.
Is there photo evidence?
It's all these questions, you know, that you need to ask.
This could be a long shot this afternoon,
but I want to take calls on 0800 dial ZM about people's water slide injuries.
And you asked earlier if that includes the backyard slip and slide. Yeah, the slip and slide.
Yes, it does. The very humble backyard
slip and slide. It involves the slip and slide.
It involves the crocodile mile.
Did you have crocodile mile
growing up? I think so. You run,
you slide, you hit the
ramp and take a dive.
Yeah, we had that. Yeah.
At one radio, the first radio station I ever worked at, we set a world record for the biggest
and longest slip and slide.
Okay.
And I think it was, how many metres was it?
I think it was around 300 and something metres.
Yeah.
And I remember going on it.
300 metres. It was on a golf course it was
humongous it was so fun humongous it was so fun until um we made it with these like um tarps
they were like signs and then we'd just connect them together but the problem was is that there'd
be one and then obviously where the next the join. And we made the mistake of putting them over.
So when you're sliding down.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And my thumb got caught.
Oh.
And I'm pretty sure it dislocated, but it went back in, I think.
But worth it?
Well, my thumb was sore for a good five years.
But worth it?
Oh, so worth it, yeah.
Yeah.
Humongous cowabunga, bro.
Brian Clint. What's the worst wedgie you've ever it? Oh, so worth it, yeah. Humonga Cowabunga, bro.
What's the worst wedgie you've ever had?
Ooh, I did a,
when I was playing rugby,
we were training,
and I was the guy who got lifted in the lineouts,
and one day I forgot to wear my briefs,
and I only wore the satin boxes
with no undies underneath.
How do you forget to wear your undies?
Because it was after school.
The training was after school. Did you wear satin briefs?
Satin boxes, yeah
Did you?
Yeah, every boy in the 2000s did
Oh
Yeah, with little horny devils on them
Anyway, you don't want to be lifted by your shorts
In a line out while you're wearing satin boxes
Worst wedgie of my life
I bet
Is that enough detail for you?
Is that what you were hoping for?
Yeah
Yeah, okay, cool
Let's go to Bear on 0800
Dials at M. G'day, Bear. Hello, Bear.
G'day. What's your water slide
injury? So I
went to Splash Planet
as a young child. I used to go there a lot.
And thought that for the
first time and the only time, I'd
dare their big, massive water slides that
they've got. Oh, yeah?
Got to the top and thought, yeah, nah, no, no, I don't want to do this.
But my best friend convinced me.
Got on, everything was okay.
But just as I came to the end, I'd been told to cross my legs over and I had.
But just as I hit the end, my legs came loose and one of my ankles smacked right against the end.
Oh!
What happened there?
Did you break your ankle?
No, it was just a really bad sprain,
but I couldn't walk for the rest of the day.
Yeah.
Oh, it was one of those bone bruises I've heard about.
Yeah, it was right on the bone,
right on the edge of the slide.
It hurt so much.
Ouch.
It could have been worse.
When I heard you say that your legs flew apart, I was thinking in other areas,
but I'm glad it was just your ankle, I guess.
Yeah, thankfully not.
Yeah, thanks, Bear.
Someone's texting and they said, my sister broke her eye socket on the water slide of the AC baths in Taupo.
She's the reason for the no-goggles rules there.
And for the legacy she will leave.
Joe's on 0800.
Hi, Joe. Hi, Jo.
Hi, Jo.
Hi.
What's your water slide injury, Jo?
Mine is from when I was about eight years old at Parakai in Auckland.
Probably the same slides that are still there now.
We had to go down on a mat, like one of those really thin rubber mats.
So I did.
But when I was coming down, I slid off the mat and
I slid up the side of the tube
slide and I hit a bolt
that hit the wall
and it took a big chunk out of my hip.
No!
No! No! No!
My parents were at the bottom of the slide
and the blood came out before I did.
So they were waiting
for me and a stream of blood came out
and I came out.
But it was all good.
The parakeet gave me like a triple scoop ice cream
to make it better
and it was all,
it was fine.
But I've still got the scar on my hip.
Oh, that is such a...
30 years later.
Jo, that story is going to haunt me tonight
when I'm trying to sleep.
You poor thing.
That's so 90s, eh?
They were like,
if we give you a triple scoop ice cream,
are we all good?
And you're like, yeah, all good.
Yeah.
Make it three or I'll sue.
No, Osh back in the 90s.
Thanks, Joe.
God, I love this text.
I was at a school camp on a farm and I was going down the water slide
into the lake and a sheep jumped over me and hit me in the head and knocked me out
until I hit the water.
There's nothing more New Zealand than that text right there.
That's Kiwi airs.
80s on our 100,000 M.
Hi, 80.
Hi, 80.
Hi, guys.
How are you doing?
We're good.
You got a water slide injury for us?
I did, yeah.
I don't know if you recall, but about 10 years ago,
there was the monster slide by Sumner in Christchurch.
Oh, yes.
And there was a guy that got knocked unconscious
and was airlifted up to Christchurch Hospital.
Yes.
I was that guy.
Was that you, AD?
That was, yeah.
Oh, my God.
Are we talking to the unconscious monster slide guy from Sumner?
That's the one.
Oh, did you think your 15 seconds of fame you'd be unconscious for, AD?
Well, that's just it.
I don't know how long I was unconscious for.
When I woke up, I was on a helicopter.
Oh, my God.
As your limp, like, unconscious body slid out the end of the tube at the end,
they must have thought you were dead, AD.
No, I didn't get to the end.
That was the problem because they hadn't made it high enough or long enough.
So you had to get up halfway and then walk down to the exit.
The donuts behind me sent somebody down on a boogie board
and that's why the accident happened.
You got KO'd by someone on a boogie board. AD, it's always the guys on the boogie board, isn't it? Bloody boogie board and that's why the accident happened. Oh, you got KO'd by someone on the boogie board. AD, it's
always the guys on the boogie board, isn't it?
Bloody boogie boarders.
Well, we're glad you're okay, AD.
Thanks for sharing your story.
You're welcome. Thanks, mate. Appreciate it.
Watch out this summer,
everybody. And whatever you do,
if you're doing the slip and slide in the backyard,
do not cover your whole body in
dishwashing liquid before you go down.
How else am I meant to do it?
Well, it's just you're going to go too fast.
Just make sure you have some padding.
You do.
Yeah, do it.
Just make sure you have some padding at the end.
Maybe wear a rash vest then.
Especially on that kai kuia grass.
Yeah, exactly.
Shred your nipples off.
What if there's bloody prickles as well?
Let's play some Google Down.
Do you feel lucky?
Well, do you?
It's time for Bree and Clint's Google Down.
Punk.
Welcome back to Google Down.
If you've texted one of the names, Clint, Claudia or Ella, stick around.
We'll see who takes it out and you could pick up 50k of sea chicken dollars.
Here's how it works.
I've put these exact questions into Google.
I'm looking for the most common answer that comes up on Google.
If you're the first person to yell it out, then you'll receive a point.
First person to three points wins the game.
I had a shocker last week trying to chat GPT my way through Google Down. Yeah, that was a fail.
Yeah, that was a bad idea. Turns out it's about a second
or two slower than Google. Who could
have guessed? Yeah. Who would have thought?
It was a good try though. I thought
AI would have it. Listen to the shade
coming from Claudia.
It was a good try though. Good try honey.
I'm proud of you. Yeah, good try.
It's nice to try new things.
Ella, how are you feeling? Quiet and calm. I'm proud of you. Good try. It's nice to try new things. Ella. Yeah.
How are you feeling?
Quiet and calm.
Quiet and calm.
All right, here we go.
Is everyone ready?
I'm ready.
Question number one.
How tall in metres would a Tyrannosaurus Rex be?
How tall?
3.96 to 4.3 metres.
That is right, Ella.
Wow.
What did I say?
Calm, cool, collected.
I freaked out and just googled how tall. Can I just say a lot shorter than I thought a T-Rex would be?
There's two fully erect...
What?
There's two fully constructed T-Rex
fossils
at the Auckland Museum
at the moment.
And they're really big
but you're right
they're not as tall
as Jurassic Park
makes you think they are.
They're just long.
Yeah.
Like four metres
isn't that big.
Oh big for a lizard.
Not that big
when I'm thinking
of a T-Rex.
I'm like I'm thinking
big.
Yeah.
We've had our T-Rex
perspective warped.
Alrighty. There you go.
Question one goes to Ella.
One point to you.
Question number two.
Who is the most streamed artist of all time?
The Weeknd.
Ella's out.
Drake.
Oh, it's a dead heat.
1H.
1H.
Yeah.
We're all tied up.
That sucks.
It is Drake.
That's what Google says.
Question number three.
What country did snow cones originate from?
America.
Nice, Claudia.
It is America. Nice, Claudia. It is America. They don't know exactly where, but they think maybe Texas.
Snow cones get too much credit.
They're just shaved ice with some syrup on them.
I disagree.
All the syrup falls to the bottom.
Snow cones are legit.
Really?
Yeah, if it's hot.
Just sugar on ice.
It's so yum.
Can't complain.
I mean, did you guys ever have slush puppies here?
Nah.
Is it a slushie?
Is it a slushie?
Oh, slush puppy.
A puppy is like that we've lost her.
Nah, it's different to a slushie.
It's like the ice is a bit bigger or something.
Yeah, okay.
Question number four, two to Claudia, one to Ella, one to Clint.
How many years were Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth together?
Ten.
Ella, that is amazing.
Was that off the top of the dome?
It was.
I just watched a Miley Cyrus video.
Rock a microphone.
I'm out.
It is between the ladies.
This is for the win, guys.
Question number five.
What is Hugh Jackman's net worth?
180 million.
Who said it audibly?
180 million.
I'm going to say.
No, don't.
Don't.
They have to have said it, not screeched it.
She always wins.
Yeah, we're going to go again, actually.
We're going to go again.
Yeah, fair enough.
I could not understand a single thing that you said.
Both of you were quite all over the shop.
Question number six.
What is the most popular jelly bean flavour?
Good question. Butter popcorn. Buttered popcorn.
Buttered popcorn.
I've also got buttered popcorn.
Not the answer.
Keep googling.
Cherry.
Claudia takes it out.
Claudia swoops in with the win.
Ella, you were so close.
You almost won it with butter popcorn.
According to Google, very cherry jelly belly is the flavour.
I want you to recheck that because I don't think so.
Divide a recount.
Claudia's person has won Google Down.
Unfortunately, they've just hung up.
Oh, Tahi.
Yeah, Tahi, we'll get in touch.
Yeah, we'll get back in touch.
It's time for a birthday banger.
Our opportunity to go off playlist for a second
where you call us up and we tell you the song
that was number one when you turned 16.
Let's go off with Damien.
Hi, Damien.
Hi, Damien.
Hey, how's it going?
Good, mate. How's your day going?
Yeah, not too bad.
Oh, good to hear. How long have you been waiting
to find this out for?
To be honest, probably
over a year.
Every time I hear it, I can't get through.
I don't even try, but I was like,
why not? Give it a go. Oh, you're here now. Good stuff.
I would have loved you to have said
about three minutes. But not been waiting on hold go. Oh, you're here now. Good stuff. I would have loved you to have said about three minutes.
That's correct.
But not been waiting on hold for three minutes, Brie.
Like a Taylor Swift song and a little bit more.
Yeah, you know.
Damien, well, tell us your birthday and we'll figure it out.
October 3rd, 1990.
All right.
That means you were 16.
Wait, your birthday was yesterday.
Sure was.
Oh, Damien. Happy birthday to you.
Happy birthday, mate.
Well.
Yeah, so that I was busy trying to make the website for my company.
But I was in there yesterday.
Oh, really?
That's why you didn't call yesterday?
Yeah.
Oh, well.
All day doing the website.
You're here today and you were 16 in 2006.
And Damien, happy birthday for yesterday.
Here's your birthday banger.
Fergie Ferg.
This was her breakout
single when she went
solo from Black Eyed Peas.
Yes. Yeah.
Yeah, Damien, you like it?
I'm like, keep banging for that on the car right now.
Yeah, nice.
That's an absolute tune.
I had my mind blown when I realised the London Bridge
that I thought was the London Bridge actually isn't the London Bridge.
No, it's the Tower Bridge.
Yeah.
The Tower Bridge.
The London Bridge is really boring.
She's talking about just a normal old bridge.
Yes, just a bridge. Yeah London Bridge is really boring. She's talking about just a normal old bridge. Yes, just a bridge.
Yeah.
Not interesting at all.
My partner and I jumped on lime scooters and went over the London Bridge when we were there.
Because of the Fergie song?
No, it was just, no, it was the most terrifying.
Like there was buses flying past.
Oh, I see what you're saying.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It was so terrifying.
Let's do a birthday banger for Hannah.
Hi, Hannah.
Hi, Hannah.
Hi, guys.
How are you today, Hannah?
I'm good. How are you? Yeah, good. Are you on your way home from work? Yeah, I am. Oh, Hannah. Hi, Hannah. Hi, guys. How are you today, Hannah? I'm good.
How are you?
Yeah, good.
Are you on your way home from work?
Yeah, I am.
Oh, nice.
What do you do for work, Hannah?
I'm a nurse.
Oh, one of the good ones.
Hey, Hannah.
Yeah.
She's like, no, I'm a bad nurse.
I'm a naughty nurse.
Don't call Hannah a naughty nurse.
I was going to say, I have to be a good one, don't I?
Hannah's like, when I want to be.
Tell us your birthday, Hannah.
The 16th of June, 1996.
All right, you were 16, Hannah, in 2012.
And back on your 16th birthday, this was number one.
One D.
One Direction.
Are you a Directioner, Hannah?
Yes, I was, and especially around that time.
Yeah, 16.
Smack bang.
It's the middle there.
Okay, wait there, Hannah.
One more birthday banger for Mary Jane.
Kia ora, Mary Jane.
Hi, Mary Jane.
Hi, baby.
I'm feeling very old compared to those two.
Are you, Mary Jane?
Surely you can't be that old, Mary Jane.
No, not that old, but older than those two.
A lot of things named after you, Mary Jane, can I say.
I know, right?
Yeah, like there was the shoes and we'll leave it there.
Mary Jane.
Isn't there a plant?
Yeah, there's a plant.
The character from Spider-Man. Very good one. Tom Petty song. A very healthy one. Yeah. Oh, okay, Jane. Isn't there a plant? Yeah, there's a plant. Yeah. The character from Spider-Man.
Very good one.
Tom Petty song.
A very healthy one.
Yeah.
Oh, okay, Jane.
Lots of health benefits.
Mary Jane, is it?
Four twins.
What's your birthday?
12th of March, 85.
All right, you were 16 in 2001.
We have to Mary Jane.
Here's your birthday banger.
Oh, it's a tune, Mary Jane.
You get Daft Punk one more time.
Do you love it?
I love it.
I prefer Fergie, to be honest.
Okay, fair enough.
Wait there, we're going to deliberate.
Thanks, Mary Jane.
Fergie 1D or Daft Punk?
I vote Daft Punk.
I'm voting Fergie.
Are you?
Oh, wait.
Wait a second.
Yeah?
You know if we go over there...
Oh, she's just going to choose one direction.
They're going to choose 1D.
Either one of them would choose one direction.
Oh, Claudia's saying that they won't.
Really, Claudia? Yeah, we won't. Really, Claudia?
Yeah.
Okay.
Okay, let's trust her.
Should we trust them?
Yeah.
No, we have to take her at face value.
I don't trust them.
We can't decide.
You choose the winner of Birthday Banger, please.
Who voted for what?
I voted for Daft Punk.
I voted for Fergie.
I'm going to vote for...
One...
No, Fergie.
Yes! Get it. You should have done it going to vote for one. No, Fergie. Yes!
Get it. You should have done it just
for the launch. Just for the
gag. I would have respected it.
Damien, you won birthday banger. Congratulations.
Yeah, boy!
Happy birthday for yesterday, Damien.
Are you ready for this?
Brand Clinch, coming straight out of
2006.
Here's your Wednesday evening birthday banger on ZM.
ZM Brian Clint.
That's Fergie and London Bridge.
No, should have been Daft Punk.
Speaking of London Bridge, I don't like to bring it up,
but I recently went to Europe.
Jeez, like three weeks ago.
For the first time.
And, I mean, it was just such a great trip.
It's been that impactful on you.
But I don't like to, you know, talk about it
because I don't want to make other people feel bad
that they haven't been to Europe this year.
Remember when you came back from your two-week trip to Europe and you were talking with a
British accent?
And people were like, oh my God, stop doing that.
My Rachel accent.
I'll bring her back, shall I?
Yeah.
Yeah, no, I did that for a while.
But there was something that happened on that European trip that I kind of have blocked out of my memory
because it was so traumatic
until now, until this moment
where I feel like I'm mentally ready
to share that
story. Sure.
But it's going to be tough to share it
because it was
quite horrific. Okay. Where were you when this
happened? So the first
part of my European getaway
I tagged along on my
parents' romantic
trip around Italy.
So it was just me, my mum
and my dad and we
went on the most romantic trip
to a bunch of places. And a Venetian gondola together?
Legit, we did that.
In Venice, on the gondola,
my mum paid for this guy
To sing a song
And it was my parents and then me
Sitting on this little dodgy seat
Right up the other end it was the most awkward time
Of my life
But it was something that happened
In Rome that really
Shooketh me
Because
If you're travelling around Europe
The thing that I didn't realise because I've never been on a trip like that
is that you're going from place to place
and depends on where you're staying as to where you can do your washing.
Yeah.
So in some places we weren't able to do any washing.
Like within the hotel?
Within the, because we didn't stay in hotels.
We stayed in like an Airbnb or, you know, like an apartment.
Some of them had washing machines and some of them didn't.
So in some places we just had all of this washing build up
because it was hot so you get sweaty.
So a lot of washing needed to be done.
And it'd been, I reckon, three days
and we hadn't had a washing machine by the time we got to Rome.
So the first thing I said was, right, where's the washing machine?
And I kind of said to everyone, I said to Dad and I said to Mum,
I said, put your washing in the washing machine and I'll go downstairs
and I'll buy some detergent and I'll put it on because we all needed
to do washing.
Anyway, so I've put my stuff in the washing machine,
put all my clothes in there, put my washing in,
and I've nipped down to the shops to get some detergent.
And when I came back up and I said,
is all your clothes in the washing machine?
I was like the parent in my mum and dad.
It's nice of you.
Yes, thanks, Brianna.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
All of our stuff's in there.
Pop it on.
Anyway, so I've popped on the washing machine, all good. It wasn't until the next day that I'd realised I'd made a big mistake.
Okay.
And I said, hey, Mum, have you hung out that washing from last night?
And she, very lovely Mum, had hung out all the washing.
And I was kind of going through it, trying to find my socks in amongst my mum and
dad's socks and then obviously my dad's undies are in there and my undies are in there and then I was
like where's my mum's undies this doesn't seem to be where the I realised my mum and I wear the exact same freaking
underwear. I said to my mum, mum, did you not wash any underwear? And she goes, nah,
I wash them. They're all there. And I said, they're my underwear. And she goes, what?
I said, that's my underwear.
The black bonds, I've worn them for 15 years, they're mine.
She goes, nah, they're mine.
I said, well, that's fine, we'll check the size.
We wear the same bloody size.
Like mother, like daughter.
Can I just check, are you more upset about the fact
that you and your mum have the same taste in
undies? I'm upset for a multitude
of reasons. Or because you and your mum were sharing
undies on your European kontiki?
That's the multitude of reasons.
I said, mum, has this been happening
the whole trip? She goes, yeah, I didn't think it would
matter. I'll just give you some, I'll give me some.
She knew. Yeah, well she
kind of was like fine with it.
And I was like, you figured this out earlier.
Yeah.
She wasn't as upset as me.
And I said, okay, well, how are you figuring out who's got the more worn ones in the crotch?
She goes, oh, well, I figured they'd be yours.
I said, how dare you?
That's fair.
You wear yours within an inch of their life.
So have you? you. That's fair. You wear yours within an inch of their life. It just
annoyed me so much where I had to then
pick through and try to figure out which
ones were mine and which ones were hers. She goes
well all mine are fairly old so
you take the newer ones. Oh that's lovely
of her. And of course you know my mum
being the selfless woman that
she is. She took the ones that
are a bit more worn. Undies are such a
personality trait too.
So you and your mum are the same.
I couldn't believe it.
And then she dropped the bombshell on me and she goes,
your sister wears the same ones as well.
The family undies.
I said, what?
Sisterhood of the travelling undies.
She said, yeah, she's been wearing those exact ones as well.
We all wear them.
Who would you rather have got your undies mixed up with?
Your mum or your dad?
Well, let's hope.
I'd rather my mum.
Yeah.
Well, just checking.
You know.
Yeah.
Hopefully.
Sure, it'd be quite confronting if you found out your dad wore a size 6 ladies bonds undies, eh?
Yeah, you'd hope he'd need a bit extra room in the crotch.
Oh, well, you know what to get your mum for Christmas.
Yeah, the same undies.
And she knows what to get you.
Oh, God.
It shooketh me.
Bree and Clint.
I want to talk about this video that's going viral,
and it's from a wedding DJ who makes videos about requests
that his clients have when he DJs at weddings.
Okay.
It's quite interesting because he talks about, you know,
what songs people pick for their first dance
or the father and the bride dance, the bouquet toss, that type of thing.
But one of his videos that's going viral at the moment is this one couple
and their list of songs that are banned from being played at their wedding.
Love it.
They're on the no playlist for their wedding.
I've DJed quite a few weddings and this happens.
You get this list.
I also band songs from my wedding as well.
Because you're spending so much money on the day,
you want to be in charge of that detail.
If you hate a song, you should not have to hear it at your wedding.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's quite interesting.
There's five different things on their list.
Yeah.
And I thought we could go through
the five okay sure um so this is uh matt he's the dj uh let's see what was the first thing on their
list please for the love of god do not play the following songs number one no single ladies by
beyonce now this comes up a lot i think some people think that it gets overplayed at weddings
it's used a lot actually as a bouquet toss.
So I can kind of get that.
It does.
It does.
Such a banger, though.
Do you like it still?
Yeah, still like it.
Okay.
Some of the other songs, though, that they've got on the list,
I couldn't agree more with.
Let's see what was number two.
Number two, No Uptown Funk by Bruno Mars.
We've seen that before.
Uptown Funk slaps.
Especially when everyone's drunk.
People point.
That's where Uncle Terry
is going to pop a hip
because he goes too low.
I disagree with that.
I don't think that's a great wedding song.
I don't mind Uptown Funk.
This next one, though, I couldn't agree more with.
No Happy by Pharrell.
Agree.
No, thanks.
I'd be banning that one.
I'd be gone.
You can't see Aunty Mavis
No
On the D floor
Shaking her bonbons to this
Nah
She can shake it to something else
Cause that song
Is
Dead to me
Okay
Uh
There was also
Um
Just
Artists
Or bands in general
That they said
Um
Across the board
None of these guys
We don't want them played
Yep
And I like how it says the following songs,
but this one just says One Direction slash Justin Bieber slash Bruno Mars.
Doubling down on Bruno Mars.
And interesting.
I think what these three have, popular male pop vocalists.
So, you know, that just isn't the vibe for them.
Are these guys having this wedding, are they hipsters?
No idea.
They're like, we only want Angus
and Julia Stone. I love Angus
and Julia Stone.
The temper trap.
Yeah, the last one
on their list
was this.
Last but not least, no Beyonce.
Whoa! So no single ladies, but in particular, no Beyonce. Whoa! So no single ladies,
but in particular,
no Beyonce overall.
So that is really interesting.
Oh, these people are haters.
So much good Beyonce.
A song like this in particular
is great for a wedding.
Absolute tune at a wedding.
But fair enough, it's their day.
They're in charge of the menu, the outfits, the music.
So they can ban whatever they want.
I thought we could make our own playlist of songs that should be banned at a wedding.
An anti-playlist.
Yeah.
A do not playlist.
Exactly.
Yeah, okay.
And we'll put it together with your guys' help.
0800 dials atS-AT-M,
or you can text us on 9696.
What's a song that you would just not have played at your wedding?
Can I put a song on there straight away?
Yeah.
Yeah, and this was banned at my wedding.
I love this song.
Something about it, eh?
No moves like Jagger at my wedding.
What's on your no playlist list?
I mean, Happy Pharrell.
Definitely on there.
I mean, not much.
Yeah?
We banned Bon Jovi at our wedding.
Oh, I love Bon Jovi.
I'd have Bon Jovi at my wedding.
I banned Guns N' Roses too. I banned Guns N' Roses too.
I love Guns N' Roses.
We'd have that at my wedding too.
It's too cheesy pub rock for me.
I was like, no thanks.
I love Sweet Child O' Mine.
One of the best songs ever.
Nah.
Sweet Child O' Mine.
I call it penis rock.
I love it.
No, thank you.
I love it.
But we want you guys to put together a no playlist for us.
Yeah, it's your wedding.
What are we not playing?
Amber?
Hi, Amber.
Hello.
What do you reckon should go on the no playlist for a wedding?
Okay, I'm going to get a whole lot of shit for this,
but Sweet Caroline.
What?
It's so off the plate.
Amber, I kind of have to agree with you When it plays, it is a little bit annoying
It's a bit of a drunk anthem though, isn't it?
Yeah, and then everyone's like
And they're all spinning over each other
So good, so good
So the story behind it is
I've catered for a couple of weddings
Same song played on both of them.
I've worked in room service.
I can hear the weddings going on.
Sweet Caroline, sweet Caroline, sweet Caroline.
You're sick of it.
She's sick of it.
Yeah, I get it.
You're over it.
Yeah.
Okay, it's on the no play.
You've just cancelled that song, Amber.
That's a lot of power you've got and you've done it.
It's gone.
Let's go to Tammy, who I think is going to be equally controversial with their suggestion.
Hi, Tammy. G'd go to Tammy, who I think is going to be equally controversial with their suggestion. Hi, Tammy.
G'day, Tammy.
Hello.
What would be on your no-playlist song at the wedding?
I'll probably be, it's left for me,
because my husband's from Taihebe, but Wagon Wheel.
Oh.
So rock me, mama, like a wagon wheel.
Rock me like a wagon wheel, Tammy. A bit of wagon wheel, Tammy.
And I think it actually did play at our wedding, but not by my choice.
No.
Any barn-based wedding, I feel like this has to come out.
The barn is a rockin', don't come a knockin', Tammy.
Fair enough, Tammy.
Okay, thank you.
We're banning it from the weddings.
It's gone.
Excellent.
On the list.
These DJs are going to have nothing to go off this summer at the weddings.
There'll literally be nothing to play.
Paula's here.
Hi, Paula.
Hi, Paula.
Oh, hi, guys.
Hi, guys.
Hello, Paula.
Hello.
How are you doing?
I'm good, thank you very much.
That's good.
That's good.
That's good to hear.
Paula, tell us, what's the song for you where you're like saying,
ba-bam.
No good.
I don't even want to say it because I'm worried you'll play it
and it will just give me the anger.
No, we promise we won't play it.
We won't play it.
The chicken dance.
There is nothing cool or seductive about people in their best dress
doing the chicken dance on the dance floor.
And I've seen it and it is, no.
Wait, Paula.
Paula, can you hear that?
Paula's like,
this is my worst nightmare.
Everyone now.
Maybe you just need... Maybe you don't know the dance moves, Paula.
Maybe you need to learn the...
No, no, I'm pretty sure it's not that.
What about the Macarena, Paula?
Oh, no.
Can I have two no plays?
That's just no.
That's on the list as well.
Let's discuss for a second.
Who's putting the chicken dance on at their wedding?
That's what I'm saying.
It feels like more school disco than wedding, isn't it?
I'm not going to lie.
I like to get down to a bit of the chicken dance.
Do you?
Yeah.
What about hokey pokey?
You put your left foot in, you put your left foot out.
Apple bottom jeans.
You might rather people drop it like a pot to that.
Yes, Paula.
I like that.
Thanks, Paula.
You're classic.
That's very good.
I like your style.
We're putting together a do not playlist for weddings.
And Hannah, you want to chuck something on there?
Anything Adele is gross.
Anything Adele is gross?
Hannah, I'm quite taken aback at your statement.
Is it because you don't like Adele or you just think not good at a wedding?
Oh, no, I love Adele, just not at a wedding.
Really?
Wow, okay.
Well, I mean, they are quite break-up-y kind of songs, aren't they?
Yeah, that's fair.
You know?
That's fair.
Hannah, would you rather hear Adele or the chicken dance at a wedding?
Chicken dance.
Love the chicken dance.
Really?
Oh, we love the chicken dance.
We're getting a lot of love for the chicken dance, to be honest.
Do we need to add the chicken dance to Friday jams?
A hundred percent.
Yeah.
I mean, you just need to gauge it, because, like, if Uncle Terry's had a few too many beers
and he hears the chicken dance, but he thinks it's a different type of chicken,
then, you know, not a good time.
What sort of chicken does he think it is?
Yeah.
Ag's a bit of a, you know, out of himself.
Ah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
A bit of the male chicken.
Yeah.
Yeah.
All right, Hannah.
Thank you for contributing to our wedding do not playlist.
We appreciate it.
Thank you.
Thank you, Hannah.
Appreciate that.
Yeah.
There's some Adele songs that would go all right.
There's lots of Adele songs that would go all right.
Wait, is there any Adele song that's not a breakup?
What about that one that's like,
Oh my God, I can't believe it.
Water Under, is that Water Under the Bridge?
No.
Yeah.
Doesn't she only release an album after she has a breakup?
Yeah.
Writing's on the wall. Rumours?
Nah, no, no, that wouldn't work.
Hello? No.
No.
Say hello to your new lover?
No. Set fire to the rain?
No.
New Zealand film Uproar
follows the story of Josh, a teenage boy
growing up in Dunedin in 1981
around the time of the controversial Springbok tour.
It comes out October 5th and we have the stars of the film joining us right now.
Please welcome to the show Julian Dennison and James Rolleston. G'day lads!
Hey, Kia ora, how we doing? So nice to have some celebrity
in the studio for once. And celebrities that haven't
forgotten about us either.
Because you guys, you boys have been off doing big things overseas.
So it's nice for you to come back to the New Zealand roots, you know?
Yeah, no, it's been good.
This was a great film.
A lot of great Kiwi actors in it.
And some people that people might not know but are going to be great New Zealand actors.
And, yeah, it was funny.
No, no, it was fun.
It was fun to, yeah, be rubbing shoulders with a lot of these QV actors and things.
I've seen the film.
It makes you laugh.
It makes you cry.
It makes you stress eat.
It's fantastic.
You guys are fantastic in it.
The cast is huge.
You mentioned how big the cast is.
We got Rhys Darby in there.
We got you lads.
We got Minnie Driver.
What was it like getting to work with These huge stars on a film
Yeah no it was great
It was great
Just to see how they do their thing
You know they're super talented people
They're real onto it with their craft
So it was like
Yeah it was real fun to just bounce off each other
Julian you were saying off air
That Minnie Driver
If she was from New Zealand
She'd be from Toedonga.
Yes.
Yeah, yeah, no, no.
She's like, she would go surf like on the weekends
and like she would like, you know, go on hikes
and, you know, like ground herself.
Really?
So, yeah, no, she was very like, she was very about it.
And, yeah, she was a great person to work with.
And, yeah, it was cool.
You obviously play this character that's finding himself
and going on this journey.
Correct me if I'm wrong.
I feel like you really connected with the story and what the movie is all about what do you think it was for you
that you kind of really connected with um yeah josh walker who i play is you know he's a very
confused um young man in the 1980s and you know and you know a mom who was park here and then a
dad who was maori who he doesn't know and you know yeah know, yeah, it's a journey of finding his MÄoridom
and finding who he is and how he fits in.
Because, you know, he's at St. Gilbert's,
the school that he's at.
Yeah.
You know, even in the school that I went to
was very predominantly white and, you know,
being, you know, too brown for school
but also a little bit too white for, you know,
some cliques that I knew outside of school.
So, yeah, it's a very, like, pool of tension.
And I was helped along the way and I was very much ushered by Hamish and Paul who who wrote it and
directed it and they're like okay how do we evolve this this guy and how do we you know tell a story
that is genuine but also on the backdrop of all the stuff that happened in New Zealand but not a
lot of people know about absolutely and I love that in the film I also loved getting to see you
in a a bit of a different role because I mean you're such a fantastic comedic actor but like getting to see you in a role where damn you're bloody good
at the other stuff too thank you same question for you james because your role i could see a lot of
your life experience being put into that role i know you had a car accident a bad one in 2016
i don't want to give too much away
but I feel like you pulled on some of
those kind of real life experiences
for your character as well.
I definitely did. So Jamie
he suffers an
injury which
kind of puts him back in
his rugby journey.
He's really struggling
trying to find his feet again and trying to
you know just trying to find a bit of light
in his life and
I definitely did draw on some of those experiences
that I went through. Yeah I think
that helped bring Jamie to life a bit. Oh I
love it. Hey boys so nice to have you guys
in I can't wait for people to see this film
Uproar as I said
comes out October 5th. Thanks so
much for coming in and seeing us, lads.
Cheers.
Thanks for having us.
Excited for everyone to see it.
Yeah, give us your money.
Sport.
Sport local.
I love it.
