The ZM Podcast Network. ZM, Brie and Clint. With guest host Maddie McLean. Maddie, can you stop showing me pictures of hot dads just before the show goes on here? Stop, we're not talking about it. You can't just be whipping out pictures of dads you find attractive left, right and centre. I was actually going to move on from that. And so I thought yesterday we agreed it's Maddie and Friends with guest host Clint Roberts. Oh, my bad.

Yes, that is a concession I'm willing to make. Welcome to ZM with Maddie and Friends. I am the friend. And today on the show, Maddie, what's happening on your show? So much, Clint, that I'm going to let you handle it and tell us. Well, Maddie, if I could be so bold, today we're going to give away another Taylor Swift double pass at four o'clock.

But you know that. Are you aware that this is the last week, that this is the fourth to last Taylor Swift double pass? I mean, if you've been following it religiously like I know people have, then yeah, they probably are. Yesterday, Geordie was kind enough to give his tickets away. He won the double pass and immediately gave them to his workmate

who's going to take her daughter to Sydney to the errors to it. Incredibly generous. I'm not even, look, I am a fill-in on the show and even I've been getting DMs from people asking for tips, tricks, bribery. Yeah, I've been getting a lot of that recently. Desperate. Desperate. I think it is reaching desperation levels.

But that's what it takes and that's where we're going to get to. A Gen Z-er wrote a letter to ZM. Oh, it's a beautiful letter too. That's how desperate people are. I didn't even know Gen Z-ers knew how to write letters. Where did they get the stamp from? Exactly. When did they get the stamp from? Exactly. When did they get their pen licence?

So that is going to happen at four o'clock today. We've got lots of fun stuff in the show and we're going to kick it off with Tradie vs Lady. If you would like to win 50 bucks cash

thanks to KFC you should give us a call right now on 0800-DARLS-ZM. We need one Tradie and one Lady to go head to head. Lady victory yesterday. Can it be a tradie victory today?

We'll find out next. Don't look at me like that. It's really cute. Don't look at me like that. It's cute. You're making me feel self-conscious about my glasses. Don't feel self-conscious. You look cute.

I'm not going for cute, okay? I'm going for Jeremy Wells on Seven Sharp. Okay? That's the feedback I'm looking for. It's very The Talented Mr. Ripley, and I'm here for it. Let's play Tradie vs. Lady. It's Tradie vs. Lady. Three, two, one, let's go.

71 to the Tradies, 80 to the ladies. Let's meet our lady first. She's 37 years old. She's calling from Auckland and she can eat 15 cocktail sausages in one minute. A lady after my own heart. Welcome to the show, Lauren. Hi. Lauren, I love that you know that fact about yourself.

I know. It's quite disturbing, actually. So clearly you've tested this. It wasn't really meant to be a test. It was just I managed to eat them all before I gave any to the kids. Fifteen a minute. Do you suck them down whole or do you chew them first? I chew.

Wow. That's small, though. How many chews? You only need three chews of a cocktail sausage before you put it down your gob. One or two. Yeah, one or two. All right, get them down, girl. You're taking on our tradie today.

He's calling from Auckland. He's 31 years old and he has one arm longer than the other. Welcome to the show, Pat. Hey, bud. How you going? No, good, man. How much longer than the other. Welcome to the show, Pat. Hey, bud. How you going? No, good, man. How much longer than the other one? About seven centimetres.

That's a decent amount. That's a lot, yeah. Quite a bit. Like, if I don't show you, you wouldn't even notice it. But if I put them up next to each other, it's pretty noticeable. Yeah, if we go for a double high-five, yours is a little bit lopsided, isn't it? Yeah, the lower the upper arm. In saying that, I'm only five foot tall,

so the high five will have to be low anyway. We're always going for a low five. Okay, Pat, good to know. Your buzzer is tradie. Lauren, your buzzer is lady. First to three correct answers gets 50 bucks cash from KFC. Good luck. All right, question number one.

ZM's Brinkland With guest host Maddie McLean. Decision 2023. Is it okay to eat food in the supermarket before you go through the checkout and pay for it? You're going to pay for it. You're going to pay for it, but you're hungry while you're walking around.

There's so much food and all that food is making you hungry. So while you do your groceries, can you eat the packet of chips that you've put into your trolley? We cross live to producer Claudia who saw an example of somebody eating in a supermarket just yesterday. Hi, Claudia. Hello. I've never seen anything like this before. I would say it's weird. Okay.

Talk us through. So I was in a supermarket minding my own business and this person walks past me and they just caught my eye right in the corner of my eye. I saw the gold wrapper of a Whittaker's bar. Oh, delicious. Yeah, really good. I couldn't tell which one. Unless it was that oat milk one in which case. Are we talking about a full block?

The 250, the big block. Yep. Yeah. So they were holding that. They'd ripped open the top and they were eating it like a sandwich, like just biting it, not breaking any rows off. And they were eating it like a sandwich. Like, just biting it. Not breaking any rows off.

And they were probably about a quarter of the way through it already. They were biting into a whole block of Whitaker's chocolate. Yeah. I've never seen anything like it. I've never seen anybody eat a chocolate bar like that. It feels blasphemous. Wait, no, it's not a chocolate bar, it's a chocolate block. Yeah. I mean, it all goes down the same.

I guess, but wouldn't it hurt your teeth? It all goes down the same. No, Maddie. What difference does it make whether you break it off or bite it off? Yeah, but we live in a civilised society. You can't just throw all rules out the window. I mean, this man is literally eating a block of chocolate in the supermarket. I don't know that it matters how he's eating it.

He also ripped it open. Like, there was no manner in that. It was just paper everywhere. That's red card to me. You're in the bin. Yeah. Sorry. For the way he's eating it or the fact that he was eating it in the supermarket in the first place.

Very good point. We have conflicting arguments here. I'm red carding him for the way he has eaten it. I'm not red carding him for eating it in the supermarket. You don't have a problem with that? No, I don't. No, I don't have a problem with it. But it's a really good point that you raise

because we are trying to answer the question, is it okay to eat food in the supermarket before you pay for it? I would say that the issue is not as clean cut as that. It definitely comes down to the food. Because I reckon, yeah, it's okay to eat a packet of chippies or to nibble on a block of chocolate in the supermarket. I don't think it's okay to open up your rotisserie chicken and have a leg of that while you walk around the supermarket.

And there's obviously really clear things as well, like if you've filled up a bag of cashew nuts from the bins. Oh, you can't eat those. They're done on weight. Yes. You can't eat your fresh produce because that's done on weight. Look, there are some very, very divided people on the text machine.

Lots of people saying, yes, absolutely, totally fine. But I would say it feels 50-50 to me. Someone says, yes, as long as you pay for it, it's fine. I work at Pack and Save and so many people just leave their rubbish throughout the store. Yeah, that's different. That's stealing. That's very different.

Someone else, though, said if it's for a child, store. Yeah, that's different. That's stealing. That's very different. Someone else, though, said, if it's for a child, sure. Adult, absolutely not. Feeding a kid in the supermarket is a life hack to get your groceries done. If they can eat the chips and then you pay for them at the end, then that is an absolute life hack.

Someone says, I work in the bakery of a supermarket. I saw someone come in, open the cabinet, grab a scone and just start eating it. He put the wrapper in his pocket and left. Mate, you just stole a scone. Someone else makes a point though, they have a food licence

that involves being able to consume on the premises as long as you pay for it. Someone said, I saw someone eating cocktail sausages and luncheon while walking. See, that was the best part of being a kid though, wasn't it? Going to the deli and then giving you the luncheon. And you can do that because it's been pre-weighed.

It's got the barcode printed on it. I don't know that I have a problem with it. If you are intending to pay for it, then it is technically your food. No, it's not. Have some respect. Who eats without paying? People who eat without paying are brought up wrong. No, we're going to pay in this situation.

We're going to pay. I worked in a supermarket and I would never really mind scanning an empty barcode packet. That's fine. Okay, that's good to know from someone who works in a supermarket. But we have put it out there and we have had an incredible amount of response to this. Claudia, you've been doing the numbers for Decision 2023.

What say the people? The people say undecided, 50-50. It's literally split down the middle. We've solved nothing. Decision 2023 is undecided. We need a recount. We're going to Winston Peters. He'll decide this for us

Time for the latest Sad news today The lead singer of Smash Mouth passed away We were having lunch yesterday And Matty received a push notification from one of the big news websites to say that he had days to live. Which was strange. Like, it was big enough news that that was a push notification. And it's funny because some people might say,

well, they were a bit of a one-hit wonder, weren't they? But they really did have a pretty big impact considering we are still, so many people were talking about him. They were not a one-hit wonder. What about this one? And then I saw her face And I'm a believer

And not a trace What about this one? What about it? And what about the greatest Smash Mouth song? Undercover hit, Walking on the Sun. Do you know what? This is the best Smash Mouth song. This.

Okay, can you just picture this? This was the song of so many late 90s, early 2000s teen movies. Coming of teen movies. Coming of age movies. Yes. I'm thinking Can't Hardly Wait. I'm imagining the bad boy walking down the school corridor in his Letterman jacket, like pushing the nerd into the lockers. This is a love attack.

I know it. Our body's back. It's just like it. Yeah, man. It is sad. Steve Harwell passed away after battling liver failure. He had a big problem with alcohol. He was only 56 years old.

And, yeah, he's passed away. His manager announced the news and said he loved the fans, loved to perform. Steve lived 100% full throttle life, burning brightly across the universe before burning out. He often shunned. He might as well be walking on the sun. There you go. Throttle, life burning brightly across the universe before burning out. There you go. R.I.P. Steve Harwell from Smash Mouth. Zed Em's Brie and Clint. With Maddie McLean.

And I promise that nobody's gonna love you like me. Zed Em, Brie and Clint with Maddie. Taylor Swift, the air is Tour, live in Sydney. That was your 4 o'clock Taylor Swift song.

We tried so much when the tickets first came out. We'd have four devices going for four hours at a time trying to get through. So then I heard this was coming up and we thought, we've got to give it a crack. Yeah. Oh, Jan, I'm stoked for you. I'm so happy for you and Lockie. Oh, my.

You can win some tickets tomorrow. If you listen at 8 o'clock to Fletchbourne and Hayley and collect those Taylor Swift songs 8, 12 and 4 and then you call us at 4 and hopefully score those tickets. I had a conversation in our workplace this morning at TVNZ because we were talking about stories that we might be doing on breakfast tomorrow morning

and one of them was about dairy farming. Yeah. They're expecting their milk solid payout to be announced today. Stick with us, everybody. Stick with us. And I started talking with quite a lot of knowledge about milk solid prices.

And someone said to me, how do you know about milk solid prices? And I said, well, when I was a reporter for One News, I was given the round of agriculture. I became One News' agricultural correspondent. Which I didn't realize. It was big. I took it really seriously. And someone said to me, how?

What on earth do you know about farming? And I said, well, I did grow up on a lifestyle block. In Queenstown. To which they said, that's not the same as being on a farm. And I said, well, we had paddocks, we had sheep, we had a cow and some chickens. Tell me the difference. Sure, smaller in size, but similar in concept. Am I not part of the rural community?

Did the person say, yeah, okay, you are a farmer? No, it was very much left at, you're wrong. You're not part of the rural community. You cannot consider yourself a farmer. Now, as a city slicker, I have no legs to stand on in this conversation. But I would argue that you're not as a lifestyle blocker. But I mucked. That you're not rural. But I mucked in and I had gumboots and I was on the farm

and Dad did some drenching and I did help out from time to time. Did you do any docking? I took a lamb to lamb and calf day at my primary school. Does that not make me a farmer? Did you guys have a quad bike? We had a quad bike. Okay, okay. So it was a big enough lifestyle block

that you had to get around it on a quad bike. Well, you didn't have to, but the option was there, and we take advantage of it. Absolutely. Look, I decided that this afternoon we could answer this question for you. So we have established a crack panel

of some salt of the earth farming folk from around the Motu and this afternoon, Matty, they're going to decide if you, lifestyle block child? Yes. Have rural cred. Yes. Is that what we want? Am I part of

the rural community? That is the question. Yes. That is the question we're going to ask the people and we now cross first to Dave who's called up. G'day, Dave. What sort of farmer are you, Dave? Well, currently we own five acres in Central Talpry. I was brought up on two and a half thousand acres. Okay.

Okay. Yeah. All right. You've got backgrounds. But this is good, Dave, because you've gone from 2,500 acres to five acres. So you've run the full gamut of rural experiences. In your opinion, is Matty part of the rural community? Yes.

Yeah, we'll give her the yes. It's a reluctant and very high-pitched yes. Okay, thanks, Dave. Let's go to Eilish on 0800. Hi, Eilish. Hi. What sort of farmer are you? I'm a contract milker on a dairy farm.

Nice, so you're a true blue. How many cows are we talking? A thousand. A thousand cows! That's a lot. You're a rural AF. In your opinion, is Maddie rural? I would say low-level rural.

I'll give him the credit. I'll take it. This is looking good for me. Thank you, Eilish. Let's go to Dana, who's here. Hi, Dana. Hi. Hi, how are you? And Isla as well. Hi, Isla. Hi.

What sort of farmers are you guys? I would probably consider us hobby farmers. Oh, okay. This is good. Sweet. Yeah. Your lifestyle is as well.

Yeah, we have 10 acres and we've got two cows that are going to be going in the freezer at the end of the year and then six cows from last year. Then we've got three sheep that are having lambs soon. And then we've got chickens and we've got hazelnut trees and peonies. So very similar to Maddie. Very similar to Maddie's childhood. This was my childhood. So do you, and therefore by extension,

do I belong in the rural community? 100%. Yes. Go to country school. Go to country school. Go to country town. You know, and to be honest, what's the way farms are these days? Kids aren't allowed on farms, but they're allowed on lifestyle blocks.

It's the only way a child can get a rural experience. There you go. Okay. Thank you, Dana. We appreciate it. We'll go to one more from Trina. Hi, Trina. Hey, how are you going?

Good. You're our last farmer. Good to hear so much female representation from the farming community this afternoon. What sort of farmer are you? Dairy farmer. Dairy farmer. All right. So this is tried and true.

You know. Is Maddie, with his background Considered a rural Farming bloke Yes Anybody that works With animals Is very rural They're very different

To humans So yes That's a clean Sweet That's four from four Four from four Yeah And even if Dave was

Yeah Yeah It doesn't matter I'll take it And we'll take it Okay Trina Thanks thanks very much. Are you looking forward to Maddy's coverage of the milk solids price on TVNZ Breakfast tomorrow morning?

Yep, sure am. Some in-depth analysis about Fonterra's projections about the future of the farming industry here in New Zealand? Yes, sure am. Looking forward to it. We wait with bated breath. Thank you very much. I dare you to wear a swan dry on breakfast tomorrow.

Actually, I have one. It's clean as a whistle, but it's there. All right, do you want to sign us out in your best farming voice? G'day, mate. We'll be back after this on ZM. Not bad. ZM's Bray and Clint. With guest host, Maddie McLean.

Maddie, what's your classical music knowledge like? Do you know your Bach from your Mozart? I wouldn't say I do, but I would say I have a very good ear for pop songs in any form.

Okay. Right. Well, that should hold you in good stead for this game then. I back myself. That's exactly what we are doing. We are looking to identify pop songs in classical style. And producer Claudia is going to run the game. Hi, Claudia. Hello. So this week, since Friday's Live has been announced,

these are all a bit of a throwback. They're all artists that are on the lineup for Friday's Live. For this edition of Friday's Live? For this edition. Okay. Yeah. Whether that helps or hinders, I'm not sure. Well, we need to get the artist and the song title.

Okay. So. Yeah. Could be tricky, but yeah. So buzz in with your name if you can tell me what it is. Like you said, I need the artist. Should we run through the lineup just quickly? Oh, yeah, all right.

Just as a refresh. If you want to throw something out there. Jason Derulo, Boys to Men, Flowr Rida Kelly Rowland Jojo Baby Bash Travi McCoy DJ Havana Brown Do I need to go any deeper into the list? Keep going

Keep going Naughty by Nature Fat Man Scoop Did you do that for the listeners benefit or for your benefit? It doesn't matter Matty What matters is that the songs are here and they're ready to go.

Yeah, if you've got that in mind, I need the artist's name and the name of the song. Buzz in with your name if you can tell me. Good luck. Maddie. No, no way. Maddie. That's Jason Derulo, Want You To Want Me. Pretty close.

You got it. That was amazing. I am gobsmacked I need to hear I can hear it now Only because I know I told you I'm really good at this game Yeah, you do have an ear for this, don't you? That was very impressive.

But Clint, you can still bring it back? You got that list in your mind? I'm imagining Jason Derulo lying across a piano. So am I now. Girl. It's a whole different song, eh? Yeah. Okay, let's do another one.

Here you go. Matty. No way. That's Flo Rida Whistle? It is. Can you blow my whistle, baby? Whistle, baby, let me know. Girl, I'm going to show you how to do it every start.

Wow. Well, now I can hear it. Now it's really obvious. Hurry up. Just get there faster. I should have just loaded in three second pieces. That would have been enough. Well, Clint, you can't bring it back, but you can redeem your ego.

I need to at least... I can't go down a virgin. I've got to get at least... I've got to get one. Maybe this one. Here you go. Maddie. No.

Oh, I know this one That's Kelly Rowland Dilemma Yeah it is I wouldn't have been able To name it You don't know What you mean to me

Maddie That was amazing You got Two and a half seconds Of that song Being played On a double bass Wow

Thank you. Is this your gift? It must be. And what a useless gift to have. But it's a gift nonetheless. That is impressive. Well, if you would like to see all of those songs performed in their classic style,

not their classical style, you should come to Fridays Live. It's on at Spark Arena on the 16th of November. The tickets are going on sale on the 12th of September at 11am. It's going to be such a good day. Presented by ZM. All the details are up at ZM

Online. This is an interesting story that I saw. Some restaurants in Barcelona What? That's how you say it properly. This is an interesting story that I saw. Some restaurants in Batalona. Ciclaro. Ciclaro. That's how you say it properly. It is.

Batalona. Okay. Do you know the story? Can I interject? Can I give you a fun fact? Do you know why that is? No. The Spanish king back in the day had a lisp.

And so to make him feel better, all of the subjects started speaking with a lisp as well like an emperor's new clothes situation is that true? I believe so is that true? well it's a story I'm sticking with

I guess there are no other Spanish words where you have to assume a lisp is there? no, just Barcelona well some restauranteurs in Barcelona have started banning people from booking tables for one, arguing that it's bad for business. They're saying, if you come here by yourself, we will not serve you.

You cannot come here. Minimum two people to dine in our restaurants. See? That's bad. I thought so. I don't like that. They say some people have reported being shamed by restaurants who have asked them to leave after realising that they're there by themselves, or the restaurants claiming that empty tables were actually reserved when they're clearly not, or they're being told that they have to eat their food fast and get out in under 45 minutes.

That would be one of my biggest arguments for allowing single diners, is that they have to eat their food fast and get out in under 45 minutes. That would be one of my biggest arguments for allowing single diners is that they don't take up that much time. No. They're in and out quick, so the turnover is fast. I mean, unless they show up with their laptop. Well, true.

And their earpods. Well, true. And they're going to park up and work in your cafe for two and a half hours. Sure. And only buy one coffee. Okay. And ask you for the Wi-Fi password.

That's a whole different situation. But that's not what we're talking about. We're talking about people who want to go and they might be travelling alone. Totally. That's a whole category of traveller, people who are going backpacking around the world alone, which is a perfectly normal

and a very fun and empowering thing to do. Where are you meant to eat? If you're travelling, sure, but also there's nothing wrong with you just wanting a little bit of me time. Have you ever been to a restaurant by yourself? I'm sure I have, but I can't off the top of my head

think of a time that I would have. Have you been to a movie by yourself? Yeah, been to a movie by myself. Me too. Yep. It's great. I know there used to be a stigma around it. I went and saw Jojo Rabbit at the movies by myself. I had a free

evening. My wife and kids were out of town. Took myself there. Bought myself a gold class seat. Got myself a glass of red wine. Really took myself on a date and romanced myself and I had the best time. I had such a good time. I even took myself home and slept with myself.

Sorry. Sorry, sorry, sorry. You do you, Clint. And you did. Not like that. I don't remember. We want to ask the question on our 100 Dial ZM this evening, this afternoon.

Do you regularly make a point of taking yourself out on a date? I don't remember. We want to ask the question on 0800.ZM this evening, this afternoon. Do you regularly make a point of taking yourself out on a date? Do you go to restaurants? Do you book restaurants by yourself? Not because you're at a loose end, not because you're away for work or something like that. Do you go, nah, I'm going to do something by myself. And I guess this goes for taking yourself any form of self-care,

going for a, I guess you usually go for a massage by yourself, so that doesn't really count. Yeah, I'm thinking this has to be something that you would usually do with a partner or a friend or a group. Yeah. Do you go on solo dates? And is it the key to life? Is it a life hack? Do you want to tell us about it this afternoon?

ZM's Brinkland with guest host, Maddie McLean. Do you make a point of taking yourself on dates? Eva's called up. You do this, Eva, don't you? Yeah, so I think it's really important to be able to enjoy your own company. And, you know, there's nothing wrong with going somewhere alone, even if you're in a relationship, just having things that you do on your own because you don't have to be the exact same person as your partner.

Is it hard though to, if you do it a while, I guess it becomes second nature, but it must be quite difficult to start with. Yeah, 100%. I think it's really important to work on your own security. So if you are secure enough in yourself, then you care a lot less about what people think. And at the end of the day, no one really knows who you are. You're so wise, Eva. You are so mature and wise.

That was such a good take. What's your favorite date to take yourself on? I recently took myself to the beach and I went there for dinner and I got clams and a glass of white wine and then I walked along the beach for sunset. It was really lovely. I love it. Do you reckon you put more effort into dates with yourself I got plans and a glass of white wine. And then I walked along the beach for sunset. Oh, my God. And it was really, really lovely.

I love it. Do you reckon you put more effort into dates with yourself or dates with your partner? They're equal. They are equal. Okay. Because that sounds like a great date. I love that.

Yeah. Okay. And so, like, if my partner's not available or he's busy, then I'll just take myself out. You'll go anyway. Great. I love it. What a great take.

Thanks, Eva. We appreciate it. Let's talk to Kim. G'day, out. You'll go anyway. Great. I love it. What a great take. Thanks, Eva. We appreciate it. Let's talk to Kim. G'day, Kim. Hi. Are you a self-dater? Yeah, not so much now. I've got two kids under two, so it's hard to find the time now.

I feel you on that. But when you can, when you could, would you take yourself on a date? Yeah. And when I first moved to a new town and I didn't know anybody and I was working, so I just used to take myself out. I just used to go to the movies, go out for dinner. But this one time I went out for dinner, and I was sitting at the table,

and this big family wanted to use the other chairs at my table. I was like, oh, yeah, go for it. That's all good. And then like five minutes later, he came back, and he's like um are you okay are you by yourself do you want to come sit with us

and I was like oh no like I'm totally fine but it was very awkward I get it I get it that is nice of him

to ask but you're like bro the last thing I want to do is sit with you and your rowdy ass family I'm here for a quiet time that is the last thing

that I want to do okay came up thank you we appreciate appreciate that. That's fascinating. Jono's caught up as well. G'day, Jono. Yeah, how's it going, guys? Good. Do you date yourself, Jono? Oh, I don't as per se, but I mean, when I get the chance

to, I think if you can go and do stuff by yourself, you can do anything, you know? If you've got the confidence to be able to do that, there's nothing that can really stop you from doing anything, I feel. Like what? Just going out for dinner, going to the movies? What would you do? Oh, going be able to do that, there's nothing that can really stop you from doing anything, I feel. Like what? Just going out for dinner, going to the movies? What would you do?

Oh, going to the movies by yourself. Anything, really. It doesn't have to be just the movies or dinner. I mean, anything. Would you go to a concert by yourself? Yeah, why not? Would you go to a festival by yourself? Yeah, absolutely.

Like I said, if you have the confidence to be able to do that, then there's nothing that you can really do, you know what I mean? Like there's nothing that can stop you from doing anything. I get it. That seems to be the general feedback, just how empowering it is. Jono, someone texted and they said if you go on a solo date, it's called master dating. That's just like When you go out With your father

It's called a man date Wait Is it Thanks Just as friends Obviously Yeah yeah Just as friends

Would have been, yep. Probably not now. Probably not now. Weren't we all, though, back in the day? Weren't we all? You had the fishnet gloves and the plaid mini skirt. Probably not the gloves. Definitely the skirt.

I'm going to split the vote because when we found out what my birthday banger is, I felt too bad choosing it for myself. That's right, you didn't choose it. So I gave it to someone else, but I feel like now that it's come up again, I have to go with my own birthday banger. Alright,

Claudia, you're going to have to decide this for us. What's the winner today? As much as I love Avril and I will always love Avril, I feel like a rainy Tuesday needs some energy

ZM Brie and Clint With Maddie That's the winner Of Birthday Banger today From Icona Pop The year 2013 I love it It's for Jessica

Good call I reckon good call Yeah Yeah I made the right decision I've got a story to tell And I It's a hard story to tell

Without sounding like a dick So Can you allow me to sound like a dick for a little bit? Sure I'll grant you that Yep Before I came here I took the dog for a walk up to the local cafe and I was waiting for my coffee and a lady came up to me

and said she enjoyed watching Breakfast and therefore enjoyed watching me on Breakfast. Okay. And then she did something that I don't know, I'm trying to think if this is ever, if I've ever had this before. I've definitely had people

ask for photos before, but she asked for my autograph. I'm sorry, guys. I'm just that famous. Oh, what a dick. Honestly, what a dick. No, it was actually mortifying because there was quite a lot of people around as well.

And I just... That's lovely. It was really nice. There's the ultimate flattery. It was really nice, but I did feel like a bit of a dick. But then it made me think, who's asking for autographs these days? Now I've got more questions.

What did she want you to sign? That's the other thing. She had to get a napkin, like a disposable paper napkin. Yeah. And then she had to ask the staff to borrow a pen. Yeah.

And then in front of everyone else that was in the line waiting for their coffee, I had to awkwardly sign this thing. And then I signed it. And then she said, you've got to write where you're from. So then I had to write,

so I signed it, Maddie McLean, and then underneath in brackets, from TVNZ. They say that a good radio show, you've got to talk about relatable things. You've got to talk about experiences that people can relate to.

And who hasn't been asked for an autograph at their local cafe? You know, you're just a man of the people. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. The good thing is, Rye, my husband, will bring me back down to earth tonight, so you don't have to worry about it. Oh, no, we'll do it for you this afternoon.

Okay, good. Don't worry. Do you even have an autograph? No, and this is the thing. Because I was like, I don't want to sign the same signature I use for legal documents. You don't want to give her the signature that's on your mortgage documents, do you? So I kind of just made one up on the spot.

Is it Maddie M? Is that what your signature is? It was a big Maddie and then underneath was a smaller McLean. A little love heart? A little X. Yeah. Okay. And then in brackets, from TVNZ.

From TVNZ, just in case you don't know. Yeah, retro, that's what you had to get to show somebody you'd interacted with, a celebrity before. You had to get an autograph because you didn't have a camera. You couldn't take a selfie. And I remember doing it myself. And often you would just have to pull something out of thin air because you sometimes don't know that you're going to run into a celebrity.

But the selfie has killed the autograph. And for good reason. It's much better proof. It's so much more shareable. It's a great memory to have on hold. I know that I definitely got people's signatures back in the day. What did I do with them? I can't remember.

I can only think of one autograph that I ever got, and it was in store at Farmer's Rotorua. Inga Tui Gamala was doing an autograph signing when he was in the All Blacks, and we went in there and I got him to sign my notebook. I didn't know who he was, but dad's like, that guy's in the All Blacks. You should get him to sign an autograph.

He passed away last year. Wow. So that's memorabilia. Man, I wish I still had that autograph. And this is what I thought. Do people hold on? Like, is she truly going to take this piece of napkin

What happens to it, eh? home with her and do something with it, keep it for memories? Is she going to frame it? Is she going to show it to her friends and family? Is it going to go into some sort of a box? Is she going to print out a picture of you to go with the napkin and put it into the family album?

How does that work? I don't know. We want to ask this afternoon does anybody listening still have an autograph from a famous person and who is that famous person? Yeah. And did you get them to sign something that relates to the person

like do you have an album that is signed by a famous person or do you just have like a scrap piece of paper or is it like on that scene on Step Brothers where he got Randy Jackson to sign his samurai sword? I'm not going to not ask for Randy Jackson's signature.

Oh, $800 at M. You can text him to 9696. What's the most impressive autograph that we can find this afternoon? ZM's Brinkland with guest host Matty McLean. He doesn't want to brag about it. He might bring it up, so let me bring it up for him. Matty got asked for an autograph today at a cafe.

I'm really going to pay for telling this story. He signed a napkin and he just won't stop going on about it. I just wonder, what are you going to do with this? What are you going to do with it? Is this going to be thrown out as soon as you get home because you've realised why am I going to keep a napkin with some random guy's signature on it? Also, napkins are really hard to sign. Yeah, it was.

Really hard to write on a napkin, isn't it? Yeah. Not that I've got a lot of experience signing napkins. And it was a whiteboard market. There was a lot to it. There was a lot going on. So we're asking you, do you have a celebrity autograph? It seems like a really old timey way of asking for a thing to askiller. There's a lot going on. So we're asking you, do you have a celebrity autograph? It seems like a really old

timey way of asking for a thing to ask for. True. And so autographs seem dated. I'm assuming most people's stories are dated. They got them back in the day, but I'm wondering, have you kept it? Do you still have the autograph? Maybe you got Robert Pattinson's autograph on the red carpet for Twilight

New Moon. We don't know. What have you got? Jenny, What's your autograph? Hi, I have the Top Twins. Oh, classic. Did you get a Top Twins autograph back in the day or is this a recent one? No, it probably was about 15 years ago. And what did they sign?

Because it was for the national marching competitions, I had an entry card and they signed that for me and I still do have it Wow, that's neat, I like that In what capacity? Is it buried in a box somewhere or do you know exactly where it is? It is buried in a box

but I know what box and I know where that box is I mean they are national treasures so that is something to hold on to Yeah, I like it. Thank you, Jenny. Someone said, I've got a happy birthday note for Jack Osborne

from the Osbournes when he was here in New Zealand filming Adrenaline Junkie. Wow. Aussie Osborne son, Jack Osborne. Hey, one man's trash is another man's treasure, Clint. When I was 15, someone said I was working in the drive-thru

at BK in Tukarole and got Jonah Lomu freaked out and managed to get his autograph on a napkin after I gave him his order. Still have it amongst the stuff I kept from a teen. That is impressive. Really cool. And like to have the, to be

quick enough to go, I've got to get this. Imagine if you're working in a drive-thru and Jonah Lomu pulled up at the window. I know. Did it say where they were at the drive-thru, what restaurant it was? Yeah, BK. Ah. Because Jonah Lomu had his own burger window. Did it say where they were at the drop, what restaurant it was? Yeah, BK. Ah, because John Lomu had his own burger at McDonald's. Oh, did he? Oh, he was cheating on McDonald's.

Imagine if John Lomu came through the drive-thru ordering his own burger. That would be so good. June's on the phone. Hi, June. Hi, how are you? We're good. Have you got an autograph? I do.

I actually have a few. And they are definitely from back in the day, in the 1980s. I have the Bon Jovi band from when they toured probably around 1986, I think. Have you got John? Yes. Okay, yeah? Yes, the whole band. And they popped into a record store in Queen Street and they allowed some fans to come through.

So I ordered the autographs there. And my sister got me Stevie Dicks and Tom Petty autographs. Very cool. From when they toured back in the 80s. On what? On their CDs or? No, on a very nerdy autograph book, which I still have buried in a box somewhere.

And you have an autograph book? I did. Yeah, wow. Yeah. And I also have Simon Le Bon from Duran Duran. If you saw Matty at a cafe, would you ask for his autograph? Yeah, probably would, or a photo. Would he go in the autograph book? Could he go next to Bon Jovi and Stevie Nicks? Oh, yeah. Maybe in the page after. Don't embarrass the poor lady. Okay, thanks, Jamie. Appreciate

it. Let's talk to Amelia on 0800.ZM. Hi, Amelia. Hi, how's it going? Great. Who have you got? One Direction. They were on my flight from Auckland to Wellington after I'd been to their concert, so they signed my boarding pass.

Wow. They signed your boarding pass. Where does this boarding pass live? Does it have pride of place on the mantelpiece somewhere? No, it has been framed. I couldn't tell you where it is now, but I know I do still have it somewhere. And you collected the set?

You got all five? Everyone except Zane. So, Louis, I've got to think of their names now. Quick, look at the boarding pass. Look at the boarding pass. Yeah, yeah. Thanks, Amelia. This text is crazy.

I nursed Sir Ed about 20 years ago, and he signed a $5 note. I'd only just started nursing and was a bit broke, so I ended up buying my lunch with it about three weeks later. Wait, what? Oh, that's so unfortunate. I hope the lunch was worth it. I hope the lunch was like $15

and you're like, this is not a regular $5 note. This is a $5 note signed by the late. Great. Great. Sir Edmund Hillary. And they're like,

who's that? And you're like, the guy on the goddamn note. Zed Amps. Z and Franklin. With guest host, Maddie McLean. Big news announced over the weekend. Celebrity Treasure Island is back. 18 more Kiwi stars will battle it out

and we have one of those stars in studio right now. Welcome to the show, Megan. Kia ora. Kia ora, Maddie. Kia ora, twins. Congratulations. This is madness, eh? That's crazy. to the show, Megan! Kia ora! Kia ora, Matty! Kia ora, Clint! Congratulations! This is madness, eh? That's crazy.

It is so weird. I mean, the weirdest thing is how long it's taken to come out finally. Like, we filmed this months ago, and I had to sit on the secret from my best mates, from my family, some of them. I mean, it's all my mum, obviously, but to everyone else, it's like, you can't say anything. Someone messaged me and they said, has Matilda had her baby? Right, yeah. And I said, no, no, because she's very pregnant at the moment,

but all the promo stuff has come out and Matilda's not pregnant. Bump. That's how long ago this thing was filmed. I know. I mean, I'm eight months pregnant now as well. I mean, it's crazy, right? Stuff's happened.

Stuff's changed since then. You guys shot this one down in Wanaka? Yeah. Is that correct? Yeah. Were you gutted not to get sent to a tropical island for your edition of Celebrity Treasure Island? I mean, I'm not going to lie.

There was an element of, you know, when you hear Treasure Island, you think, I mean, you were in Fiji for Fans vs. Faves, weren't you? We were. Yeah. Don't feel like you missed out on anything. It rained the entire time we were there. That's true.

The whole time. Yeah. I mean, Wanaka is a beautiful place. So, like, in terms of disappointment, that goes away pretty quickly as soon as you land. Yeah. You get off theaka is a beautiful place. So, like, in terms of disappointment, that goes away pretty quickly as soon as you land. Yeah. You get off the plane and you're in Wanaka, you know? Except I know how many water challenges they do on that show.

And that lake is freezing. I mean, it's an arctic mountain lake. Yes, that's true, Matty. And I didn't bring a wetsuit. They didn't tell me to pack a wetsuit. I'm looking at this cast list. We've got Blair String. He was running on short and straight, wasn't he?

He was, yeah. Courtney Dawson, Eli Mathewson, Jazz Thornton, James Musterpick, who is hilarious. Yeah. Megan Alatini from True Bliss. Legend. Tame Iti. Activist and artist extraordinaire. Who is the person, I know you can't give too much

away, who's the person that surprised you the most on this edition of Treasure Islands? In terms of just like, we are all on separate flights. You arrive separately. There's a couple of people maybe on your flight, but you don't know who's on the show when you arrive. You kind of turn up to camp.

And I turn up, hop off the bus and see Tame Iti just walking around. I'm like, what the? Is he here for this? Is he on the show or is he protesting the show? Honestly, that was the biggest shock for me and I was just so grateful for the experience of getting to know him. Is there any pressure on you as another Matt from TVNZ living in the shadow of one other Matt from TVNZ

who won Treasure Island to do very, very well on this show? All I will say, Clint, is I don't have to prove myself to Barbara Kendall or Maddie McLean. Or Tama Iti. Or Tama Iti. But no, I mean, the legacy of the blonde mats on Celebrity Treasure Island, it's a strong one. So, yeah.

I've been drip fed little bits of information about this season. I don't know much at all, but I have heard this is one of the most dramatic seasons ever. It gets wild. I mean, I'm not just saying that to promote the show, although I am, but it was shocking to me what was going on in that show and half the stuff I didn't even know was going on around me,

to be honest. But there are twists, there are turns, there are personalities clashing with other personalities. It's everything you'd want in a season of Celebrity Treasure Island and then some. It's crazy. Well, it's back. It hits our screens not this Monday but next Monday.

Is that correct? Yeah. Celebrity Treasure Island season five? Four? Yeah, five. I don't know. Te Wai Pounamu. It's going to be incredible.

Season heaps. Matt Gibb, best of luck. We can't wait to see you on our screens. Before I go, do I have to send a quick shout out to the Cancer Society of New Zealand who I am playing for they are my charity I'm trying to win as much money

as I possibly can for them because they do such an amazing job all across Aotearoa
