The ZM Podcast Network.
Hi everybody, welcome to the Brian Clinch Podcast, where we've just been severely inconvenienced.
Tell me about it.
Our CEO, who we love, he featured on this podcast a few weeks ago, just walked through the studio
and asked if he could bring some investors through, which means we've got to clean our room.
Mum, I don't want to clean my room and let all these people come through.
It did feel like we were in trouble with mum and dad.
We've got dirty dishes in here.
We've got McDonald's wrappers.
There's beers.
Yeah, there's beers on a Tuesday.
It's 10 to 9 on a Tuesday morning.
Hey, if you listen to the show, it'll make sense as to why there's beers.
I want to ask you guys,
if somebody texts you right now
and said I need to go into your bedroom
as it currently is,
would that be fine
or would you get a bit of anxiety about that?
You can't get to your bedroom
to do anything to it before they arrive.
No way.
That'd be fine.
That'd be bad.
Mine's messy, but I'm resigned to that.
I haven't unpacked since the Gold Coast.
Have you not?
No.
Oh, I haven't unpacked yet either.
Have you not?
It's in our spare room.
I have unpacked.
It's only been like three days.
Yeah, calm down.
Calm down.
I never unpack and I have unpacked.
Hey, here's the thing about going into your bedroom
because your bedroom is quite a...
Personal.
Personal space. i always feel real
awkward going into a friend's bedroom yeah yeah isn't it it's just a feeling like you're like
this is just really you know personal anyway uh my partner and i are currently in a fight oh no
um so obviously i am getting up super early to come to work yeah right and she gets up super
early to go to her work,
but I get up earlier at the moment.
So this is the argument we had last night.
So yesterday morning I left home at 4.45 in the morning.
She left home at I reckon it would have probably been 6.
Hence why we're on the beers.
6 a.m.
Yeah.
So I get home from work before her.
I go into our en suite and someone hasn't flushed a poo.
Oh, my gosh.
She forgot.
And anyway, you know.
I've done that once.
It's not that big of a deal.
It's a bloody poo.
It wasn't like the biggest, dirtiest poo I've ever seen.
It was a couple of little nuggets.
How close did you look?
What an animal. I mean, anyway. And I went dirtiest poo I've ever seen. It was a couple of little nuggets. How close did you look? What an animal.
I mean, anyway, and I went, okay, I'll flush that.
And she got home that night and I said, oh, you forgot to flush your poo this morning.
She goes, no, I didn't.
And I said, yes, you did.
She goes, must have been you.
And I said, no, you were the last here this morning.
It had to be you.
She goes, no, it wasn't.
It was you.
So we're in a fight.
I thought you were going to say she got home.
You said you forgot to flush your poo this morning.
I did it for you.
And she went, I was saving that.
You didn't flush my poo.
Oh.
I was saving that.
I've been looking forward to that all day.
You've been looking forward to that all day.
I was thinking about, I left that there for a reason.
It's mine.
Now I'm going to have to make another one.
Look how fucking weird that would be.
Because remember when we used to live with her brother, Eddie,
and he came into our room one morning and he walked into the en suite,
I don't know why, but I'd forgot to flush my poo.
And he goes, that's a poo in the toilet.
You two are a match made in heaven.
How do you just forget to flush?
I never forget to flush.
You just told us you forgot to flush.
No, but this is why it's so unusual
because I'm the type of person.
This is why your partner's got plausible deniability
that it could be you
because you've got a track record.
Potentially you're framing her.
I'm thinking about making a podcast about it um no so i'm the type of person i can't stand when people
don't clean up after themselves in the toilet yeah i think it's the most rude thing ever like
i might talk about poos and farts and but i clean up after myself Are you a toilet seat fully down kind of person? Or do you leave the lid up?
At home, no.
You leave it up?
I leave it up.
I leave it down so my kids don't put stuff in it.
That's a good idea.
But what about you?
I have it down if it's up.
It just feels like there's particles.
It just feels like something's in the air.
Now that you say that, in our en suite we leave it down.
But in the main bathroom we just leave it up. in our en suite we leave it down, but in the main
bathroom we just leave it up.
There's no toothbrushes or anything in there.
You can get poo on.
Anyway, you need to get home and
check the loo for evidence.
Do you guys want me to text you and let you know
if a poo's been left in the toilet?
I'll send you a picture.
Can I tag out of that one?
I'm going to start sending pictures of poo to the group chat.
No, no, no, no, no.
I don't want it.
What have you got?
Have you got a picture of your poo?
This is bad, but I went for a walk out in New Year's
and I really had to go in the forest.
A poo?
Yeah, and I've never pooed outside ever.
It's not nice, but I had to.
But do you know what?
I'm so proud of it.
I had to take a video
because it was
You took a video of you pooing? No, not me
pooing. Just the...
You took a video of the poo? Who do we hire?
I think
did we just become best friends? It just came out really well.
This is too much poo chat for 9am
on a Wednesday, guys. It sounded like
you just said it came out really loud.
No, well. Okay, we've got to go.
The CEO's about to go.
Sorry.
I'm coming in.
Well, howdy, pilgrim.
Did you use a bag to pick it up?
Oh, right.
I buried it.
While Fleshborn and Hayley are away,
ZM's Brinklin will play.
No, it's not the same as it was. Play.
Yeah.
Morning, everybody.
Play on, players.
We'll play when we can get the buttons right.
We're not going to red, by the way.
There's absolutely no way we are going back into red, alert level red.
I'm so over this.
I didn't even know we were still in a traffic light system.
I saw Dr Susie Wiles, who I respect and really like,
say the other day,
just because you pretend, you think it's over,
doesn't mean it's over.
No, we know it's not over. We know it's not over.
That's the problem.
People are dropping like flies.
We know.
And we don't care.
Like, we do care, obviously.
We do care.
We do care.
We care for people's health.
We'll take the precautions we need to take.
Absolutely.
But at what point do we just move on from the traffic light system?
Jeez Louise.
Anyway, I don't think it's going to happen.
They asked the Prime Minister and she's like, no, no plans to do it yet.
Yet.
She did say yet.
Yet.
It's like when you get to a certain age and your parents are still trying to put all these rules on you.
I'm like, mum, I'm 32.
I don't need a curfew.
Okay, mum.
How does that go down for you?
Not great.
I was home by midnight.
Get me out of here.
I think this is just for you.

Bree and Clint.
And this is important for anyone who's interested in fashion.
I've got some fashion news.
Not just any fashion too. Not just any fashion, too.
This is dog fashion.
Oh, even better.
It's a bit of you, Brie.
You've got a dog.
Would it be a bit of me?
Yeah, I think it would be a bit of you.
Gucci have launched a lavish collection designed especially for dogs.
Gucci dogs.
I can't afford Gucci for myself.
Why am I buying Gucci for my dog? Yeah, but you buy nicer stuff for your dog than you do for dogs. Gucci dogs. I can't afford Gucci for myself. Why am I buying Gucci for my dog?
Yeah, but you buy nicer stuff for your dog than you do
for yourself. There are people out there that spend more
money on their dogs than themselves and those
are the idiots, I mean dog owners that
Gucci are targeting here.
I would never buy Gucci for my dog.
Oh, don't say never.
They run around in the mud.
Yeah, well they do not deserve to
look good doing it. Let me talk you through some of the items that you can around in the mud. Yeah. Well, they do not deserve to look good doing it.
Let me talk you through some of the items that you can get in the 2022 Gucci Pet Collection.
For $7,500, you can have a Gucci dog bed.
Get off the grass.
Look at that.
Look at that corgi on that dog bed.
That is insane.
That dog's about the same size as your dog.
That's perfect.
It's like a one-seater dog couch for $7,500.
Whitney has like a dog bed and she sleeps on the ground most of the time.
She doesn't even like it.
Every bed that we've ever got our cats, they've preferred the floor as well.
Okay, you don't want to spend $7,000 on that because it's too expensive.
How about a leash?
What about a Gucci leash for the dog? That wouldn't look obnoxious at all you know no no that would
that would look fantastic on a dog gucci leash a bargain at five hundred dollars
that's actually the cheapest item on the list five hundred bucks oh no five hundred dollars
no it gets a little bit cheaper you can get a a little ear tag holder to go on the dog collar
so you can put your Apple ear tag in there
so you, I don't know, know when your dog's charged or something.
I just picture all the people at Gucci and they sit around
and they go, guys, what thing can we do that people are just going to eat it up?
Yeah.
And then Gary around the back goes, guys.
Gary from Gucci.
Gary from Gucci is like, guys, what about we make Gucci for pets?
And they're all laughing and they're like, yeah, this is going to go down well.
You're a genius, Gary.
220 bucks for the air tag holder, but you still don't seem interested.
What about a cloche to cover the dog bowl?
You know how MasterChef, they reveal the food from underneath a cloche? Why would my dog bowl need a cloche to cover the dog bowl. You know how MasterChef, they reveal the food from underneath a cloche?
Why would my dog bowl need a cloche?
I don't know.
Maybe you need to cover the biscuits up so the dog doesn't eat so many.
Or maybe you want to do a grand reveal after you've made the dog a nice meal.
$850 for a Gucci dog cloche.
This makes me feel sick.
Some people have too much money.
$4,050 for a Gucci pit carrier. You know how Paris Hilton
carried her dog around in a pit carrier?
Oh, that one's pretty cute.
Not for that much money though.
Or finally, do you take your dog away with you?
On holidays? Yeah.
Oh, sometimes.
Yeah? Yeah. You could do with some travel bowls
then, couldn't you? No, we'll just take
her normal bowl. No, no, no.
No, travel bowls. Bowls that you can travel
with. They come with a carry case
as well because bowls are very hard to carry.
And for a set of
Gucci travel bowls for your dog,
they'll cost you $4,250.
For what?
It's a bowl. To put their dog
food in, Bree. It's a bloody bowl.
To put their dog food in. Jeez, do you hate
your dog or something? Look, I'll be honest with you, and this is 100% genuine.
My dog does actually have one piece of clothing.
Okay.
What is it?
I'm kind of embarrassed.
Yeah.
She has one piece of clothing.
Yeah.
And this is legit a swan-y.
A swan dry.
She has a doggy swan dry.
And how much did the doggy swan dry set you back?
Oh, I think like 40 bucks maybe.
Oh, that's a bargain.
It is a bargain when a bloody bowl costs two and a half grand.
Plenty of money left over for the Gucci dog collar, I reckon.
How much is that raincoat?
That raincoat looks nice.
For me, not for the dog.
Bree and Clint from iHeartRadio.
This is the latest live from LA with Dean McCarthy.
Dean's here.
Bob Irwin, a.k.a.
Would we call him Bob or Robert Irwin these days?
I think people call him Bob.
His dad called him Bob, eh?
Yeah.
Steve Irwin's son.
Rumoured to have a girlfriend, Dean.
Yes, which is weird because he's six in my eyes.
He'll always be six years old.
But apparently he's not.
Apparently he's now 18 and his girlfriend is allegedly Amy Perry.
She's 17.
She's from here in California, actually.
And her dad was like a video game developer and sold his company for $380 million.
So she's not dating Bob for money because she's got plenty of her own she's an actress
actually she did like a cryptic tweet on a sorry post on instagram today where she was like
don't let people's opinions you know cloud you follow your dreams everyone kind of thinks that
it's around like she's getting a little bit of backlash from being the girlfriend of bob that's
always going to happen when you're dating someone so cool as bob erwin. But there you go. Yeah, he's 18, she's 17.
She's super cool.
Maybe.
She's jetted to Australia.
Maybe, Dean, the Irwins will be able to save planet Earth after all
with all that money that she has.
Yeah.
Have you seen that steamy fashion shoot that Bob did, Dean,
where he's in the T-shirt with the rolled-up sleeves?
He is smouldering in that picture.
I haven't seen that.
No.
No, I haven't.
He's six.
Yeah, yeah. No, well, Bindi Irwin's married and winning Dancing with the Stars.
It's amazing how time flies. I remember
reading an article where Bindi Irwin
was like talking about
finding Bob a girlfriend.
Yes. And it was talking about how
she wasn't going to
start looking or like help him find a girlfriend until he was 18.
Well, she moves fast then.
He's literally just turned 18.
Yeah, like in my mind when I read that, I was like,
do you think that's a rule within their family?
They can't date anyone until they're 18?
Maybe.
They're not allowed out of Australia Zoo until then.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's when they are allowed free.
They're not allowed to have a koala up to that stage.
There's the latest.
Live out of Los Angeles.
Do you remember when Steve was holding him?
What's that?
Do you remember when Steve,
that he controversially went,
Steve was holding him while he was feeding the alligator?
Yeah.
Yes.
Yeah.
Of course.
I don't.
That was before I was born.
I remember hearing about it.
Yeah.
He was in a nappy.
That's the latest.
Live out of Los Angeles
with our Hollywood correspondent,
Dee McCarthy. Brie and Clint. Brie. Lots of good was in a nappy. That's the latest live out of Los Angeles with our Hollywood correspondent, Dee McCarthy.
Brie and Clint. Brie, lots of good movies out at the moment. Huge
movies. What do you think the biggest
movie in New Zealand and
Australia was over the weekend?
The Elvis movie.
No, it was not the Elvis movie.
Well, I've seen it. It's this bloody
Minions movie. Minions beat
Elvis and Top Gun.
What's wrong with the world?
You can tell who's running the households around the country.
Yeah, Minions.
Children.
I'm not a Minion fan.
Are you a Minion fan? I'm not really a Min. Are you a minion fan?
I'm not really a minionist.
Yeah, you're not a minionist.
Did you enjoy Despicable Me?
I can't.
Can you turn that off?
It's so annoying.
Turn what off?
I usually love animated films, but not this one.
Something about it, eh?
Minions, The Rise of Gru was the biggest movie in both countries over the weekend,
and it's not even school holidays yet.
Yeah, because it's next week.
So this thing's only going to get bigger.
There's a TikTok trend that's taking off around the world to do with Minions Rise of Groot, the new movie.
Yeah, I don't really understand this trend.
So what happens is big groups of young people,
mainly teenage boys,
they go and they buy out like rows.
They go in big groups of the cinema
and they attend the film in their full school ball suit.
What's the significance
of it? The significance
is, there's a hashtag for it
and the hashtag to attend
the Minions movie in your suit
hashtag gentle minions.
Gentle minions.
Ladies and gentle minions.
Ladies and gentle minions. and gentle minions So you go
It's a classy affair
To attend the minions movie
In your suit
However
Some of them
Have been accused
Of ruining the screenings
For other people
Because you get that many
Teenage boys in one place
They get a bit rowdy
They're bound to be annoying
Yes
Some of them are taking
Their own bananas
To throw at the movie screen
I think you're meant to just See You know what taking their own bananas to throw at the movie screen.
I think you're meant to enjoy a banana in your tuxedo.
You laughing at this just makes me know exactly what you would have been like as a teenage boy.
You would have been one of those really annoying teenage boys
that thought they were top shit
and they would have walked around and just yelled out at people
and done that kind of stuff.
Some cinemas are fighting back.
There's a cinema in the UK that has tweeted over the weekend,
we are currently not admitting unaccompanied children
wearing suits for Minions The Rise of Gru.
They're banning them.
They're banning the gentle Minions from the Minions. They're banning them. They're banning the gentle minions from the Minions movie.
That's not fair.
Well, I mean, kids are trying to go out to the cinema.
They've had a hard week of play, you know,
and crying and whinging,
and they need to go to the cinema and just relax.
And it's being interrupted.
Wow, that's what happens when you go to the Gentle Minions movie.
Them's the breaks, I think.
Ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, na, na.
Biggest movie in the world, almost.
If watching this movie couldn't already be annoying enough.
Bree and Clint.
Look, Clint, I'll put my hand up and say I'm one of the worst
when it comes to knowing the right lyrics to songs.
Do you listen to songs for the lyrics?
Some songs, but, you know, some bops I just make up my own words sometimes.
And it's about the passion in the music.
The emotion.
It's not necessarily about knowing the exact lyrics.
Right.
And that brings me to this piece of audio we're about to play you.
It's from a Brazilian TV talent show.
Okay.
And a woman by the name of Alerta Amazonas is singing in the competition.
Very Brazilian sounding name.
Very Brazilian.
And she's chosen an iconic song by Bonnie Tyler,
Total Eclipse of the Heart.
Love the song.
What a boss.
Yeah.
But, look, I'm not going to put it out there and say she doesn't know the lyrics, but my feeling on it is that she didn't scrub up on what they exactly were.
Or has she just put her own interpretation on it?
That could be it too.
I'm going to let you guys be the judge.
Here is Alerta singing Bonnie Tyler's Total Eclipse of the Heart. Does the person doing the backing vocals know the words?
No.
More than her.
Oh, my God. Never now and never. More than her.
Oh, my God.
Never, now and never.
I don't think she's got one word right.
And you know what?
I don't care.
Nah, it's fun, eh?
I don't care.
She's got the melody.
She's got the tune.
She's got the passion for the song. Don't give her too much credit.
Would I be turning
my chair around
on The Voice? If Amazonia
was on The Voice, I'm not sure you would.
Look, I don't think I would
be, but you know.
She goes into the Misheard Lyrics Hall of Fame with the
Ken Lee person, doesn't she?
She does, who have some Ken Lee. Kelly, to live a day without you
Kelly, Kelly made you mo
Tens, tens, tens
Across the board
Brie and Clint
Never, no, never, never, never
Brie and Clint Brian Clint. Never, no, never, never, never.
Brian Clint.
Jeff Bezos has been filmed attending a theme park last week,
but it was footage of him riding a roller coaster completely on his own. And when I say completely on his own, no one else was on the roller coaster.
It was just him.
And people are like, what's he up to?
Hey, so Richie could pay for people to go
on it with him. I just figured it out.
Because he was filmed, he was there with
his girlfriend and I reckon
she didn't want to go on that ride.
You reckon that's what it was? Yeah.
Or did she not want to be on the empty
roller coaster with him? She was like, we're going to get
roasted for this. You can do it by yourself.
And she was correct. She was correct.
So we're asking you guys this morning
on 0800 dials at M,
what do you do alone?
Casey's here. Hi, Casey. Hi, Casey.
What have you done by yourself?
So, back
before COVID, I went to England to
meet a friend halfway through my trip, but
on the way, I decided to stop in LA
and went to Disneyland alone.
Did you?
Did you?
To Disneyland.
How was that, Casey?
It was great.
Like, no one really disturbed me.
I could do whatever I wanted.
You could go on whichever ride you wanted to go on.
Someone's texted.
I didn't have to listen to anyone.
No, yeah, I see what you're saying.
Someone's texted through, and you tell me if this is right, Casey,
because this is a great point. Someone said, going to theme parks by yourself,
you get to skip all the queues because you make up the empty seat.
Yeah, I did. I even got into the brand new bar
because some family decided I look sad alone.
And Casey's like, yeah, I'm real sad.
Casey, are all your photos from Disneyland selfies?
No, luckily all the workers were like, oh, you need some help?
I was like, yeah.
It's just Casey hanging out by herself.
I love it.
That's cool, Casey.
I like that.
Tasha's here.
Hi, Tasha.
Hi, Tasha.
Hi, morning.
What did you do alone, Tasha's here, hi Tasha Hi Tasha Hi, morning What did you do alone Tasha?
I take myself on a date night once a week
I love this Tasha
You treat yourself girl
Once a week
And you go every week
Yeah I try
I live a really busy lifestyle
I'm a truck driver and a mum
So when I have a free night
Then I go out by myself,
whether it's a movie or I always buy two seats so that no one sits next to me.
Oh, you like it? Okay, I get that.
Really?
Wow.
Hey, Tasha, I guess it makes it, you know, really, it's not awkward at the end of the
night because you know who's paying.
Yeah, definitely. Well, I have had a few dates where I've had to end up paying, so this way I know the outcome.
What's your favourite place to take yourself on a date?
I really like to go to restaurants
by myself and just sit there and just think
and have me time. Do you take anything to keep yourself occupied, like
while you're waiting for food or drinks to come out? Do you take a book
or a Nintendo Switch?
No, I don't actually. I guess I
look pretty uncovert.
Yeah, no, I just like the me time.
Yeah, right. I love that, Tasha. Go to Cop and Co
and do the little colouring in thing while you wait for your meal
to come in. It's so awkward though when you go to
a restaurant on your own because they always
come over and then they take away the plate
and the other table setting.
They wait for ages before they serve you, too,
because they assume somebody else is coming, don't they?
And then they always go, can I take this?
Like, do you have to take it?
Like, can you just leave it there?
Like, do you know?
Like, is it really necessary?
Kate, what did you do by yourself, you big brave girl?
So I went to a Katy Perry concert by myself.
Yes, Kate.
Yes, Kate.
And why?
What was the reasoning behind it?
Well, I actually got two tickets to find someone else to come with me,
but no one would, so I just sort of stuffed it.
So I flew up there by myself from Taranaki,
stayed in a hotel and went there.
You couldn't find anybody to go to a free Katy Perry concert?
I know.
No one obviously liked her.
But, I mean, come on.
If you're ever in that position again, call me up.
I'll be there in a flash, okay?
Perfect.
I've done this before, Kate, too, so I can relate.
Back in the day, I was so obsessed with Christina Aguilera
and I really wanted to go to the concert, right?
And I had a group of friends going and they all really loved her too
so we were all buying really good tickets.
But I was afraid, Kate, that they wouldn't get good enough tickets.
So what I decided to do is I was like, I'll buy a single ticket
because that's what happens with those really front rows
and I'll buy a single ticket because that's what happens with those really front rows.
And I'll buy a ticket on my own.
Anyway, my ticket that I bought on my own by myself ended up being worse than the ones my whole group of friends got.
Oh, no.
But I had to sit by myself.
Yeah.
Fail.
Yeah, I sat by myself too, but it was completely fine.
I made some friends, so it was all good.
Oh, there you go.
Nice.
Good.
Cheaper, I guess. Yeah, it's cheaper. good. Oh, there you go. Nice. Good. Cheaper, I guess.
Yeah, much cheaper.
You can buy the single tickets on Trade Me.
Yeah.
Our friends got COVID.
They're not coming.
Anybody want one ticket?
Bree's like, I'll have it.
King. There's those.
King for that.
Bree and Clint.
It's time for Google Down.
Google, are you down, down, down, down, down, down, down?
What the hell?
I think Google's actually quite a prestigious game on our show in the afternoons.
We play every Wednesday and we find out who is the fastest Googler in the team slash New Zealand.
Exactly right.
Here to try and win the honour of greatest Googler in the nation is Rochelle.
Morning, Rochelle.
G'day, Rochelle.
Good morning. Have you heard this. Morning, Rochelle. G'day, Rochelle. Good morning.
Have you heard this game before, Rochelle?
Yeah, I've heard it before.
Okay, good.
I'll go through the rules again just so everyone is on the same page.
This is how it works.
So I've put a question into Google
and I'm looking for the most common answer that comes up for that exact question.
If you're the first person to just yell out the correct answer, you get a point.
If you yell out the wrong answer, you're out for that question.
Got it.
First of three will take out Google Down this morning.
Rochelle, you're taking on me, Producer Ella, and Producer Claudia.
That's correct.
It's an all-in brawl this morning for Google Down.
Are you ready, Rochelle?
I'm ready.
All right, guys, here we go.
Question number one.
How much is Anna Kendrick's house worth?
How much is Anna Kendrick's...
6.9 million.
9.6 million.
That's right, Clint.
6.9.
Bit late.
You got it around the wrong way.
Mine says 6.9, but if you're in charge... Yeah, mine says 6.9. Bit late. You got it around the wrong way. Mine says 6.9, but if you're in charge.
Yeah, mine says 6.9.
Did you put in the exact?
Mine says 9.6.
Yeah, 9.6.
And because Rochelle's on the same page, I'm giving Rochelle a point too.
Oh, yeah.
Clint and Rochelle are both on the board, one point each.
Here comes question number two.
Weird that yours was exactly reversed.
Yeah, that's weird.
Yeah, that is strange.
Is your phone upside down?
Are you Googling on a calculator?
I am.
Is that wrong?
It's not going to help you.
Here we go.
Question number two.
How old is the oldest coin in the world?
Come on, come on, come on.
2,700 years old.
God, Clint is on the money this morning.
I don't think my fingers have woken up yet.
My brain has never felt slower or foggier
during these breakfast hours.
But for some reason,
I've got finger clarity for my good...
Oh.
Just finger clarity sounded weird.
Move on.
Yeah, I haven't heard that phrase before.
Come on, Rochelle.
If anyone was going to beat me,
I want it to be you, okay? So come on. I'm like two seconds behind you. Yeah, let's phrase before. Come on, Rochelle. If anyone was going to beat me, I want it to be you, okay?
So come on.
I'm like two seconds behind you.
Yeah, let's do this.
Come on, Rochelle.
I know you've got this in the bag.
Here we go.
Question number three.
How much did Nemo make at the box office?
How much did Nemo?
Six.
Oh, 940.4 million.
That's right, Claudia.
You got it.
I did say six.
I think maybe my brain's broken. I tried to say nine. What did she say? What was the answer? 940.4 million. That's right, Claudia. You got it. I did say six. I think maybe my brain's broken.
I tried to say nine.
What did she say?
What was the answer?
940.4 million.
Right, okay.
That is correct.
I said it in a weird way, but that is what I said.
Really weird way, but I will take it.
My brain's not working up either.
One point to Claudia.
She is on the board.
Question number four.
Who invented cupcakes?
Who invented cupcakes? Who invented cupcakes?
Amelia Simmons.
That's right.
Damn it.
Oh, I'm back.
She is back in a big way.
This sucks.
How do you invent cupcakes?
It's like the cruffin.
Who invented the cruffin?
What's a cruffin?
A cupcake muffin.
They're the same.
I thought that was a croissant muffin.
Isn't it a croissant muffin?
That's a cronut, isn't it? That's a croissant donut. Yeah. They're the same. I thought that was a croissant muffin. Isn't it a croissant muffin? No, that's a cronut, isn't it?
That's a croissant donut.
Yeah.
What's the difference?
I don't bloody know.
Come on, Rochelle.
Let's get you on the board here.
You're going to get this one, okay?
Here we go.
Question number five.
How many hotels are there in New Zealand?
Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on.
277.
277.
277. Oh, Rochelle, you were, come on, come on. 277. 277.
Oh, Rochelle, you were so close,
but producer Ella just got in there just before.
277.
That's what Google says.
Doesn't seem like enough hotels.
No, it doesn't. In the whole of New Zealand.
Is that chains or like each individual building?
Is that motels as well?
Guys, I'm not from the bloody hotel tourism department.
I just put it into Google.
We'll get someone on.
Okay, here we go.
Question number six.
One to Ella, two to Claudia, two to Clint and one to Rochelle.
Everyone is in this game right now.
Question number six.
What day of the week was July 6th, 1999?
What day of the week was it?
Tuesday.
Tuesday.
Give it, Claudia.
Wow, that was a comeback for the ages.
What a game.
Is that the greatest Googler in the land?
It does.
I think that's three weeks in a row.
It is.
Back to back to back.
And you know what, Rochelle?
You were right in that game.
So 50 bucks coming your way, mate.
Oh, awesome.
Thanks.
No worries.
That was a great game this morning.
I learned something.
The world's oldest coin is 2,700 years old.
I wonder what it's worth.
That doesn't feel very old.
That feels pretty bloody old.
That doesn't feel that old.
I'm pretty sure the dinosaurs would have been around then.
700 years before Christ. How old
do you want? Dinosaurs were around then.
You should Google it and see
what it looks like. It's
actually got really good detail. Yeah, nice.
Grab one.
Oh my God, you know when you
just get super excited about something? I can
tell you're excited about this. I'm so
excited. You were sneaking around yesterday
after the show. I imagine getting this thing organised.
That's correct.
It's very covert.
It is very covert.
I've been working on this over the past three days or so.
Okay.
And there's something we need to talk about, Clint.
There's a big thing that's happened for you and I in the past week or so.
Right.
Can you think of anything important?
Any, you know, I'm just giving you an opportunity here.
Anything you want to say to me?
Oh, it was our four year anniversary.
Correct.
Of the show.
Yeah, correct.
Correct.
I did a special Instagram post.
You did.
You did.
And when I saw that.
I acknowledged it publicly.
It was really nice.
And I was like, oh, that's so cute.
And I couldn't believe it's been four years.
Yeah, we got a cute photo on a rooftop bar having a cocktail.
We did.
I put it in black and white because I look like a pink Savoy in that photo.
I knew you did that.
Anyway, I thought four years, time flies when you're having fun.
We've been through a lot together.
And I need to do something special
for you. It's our anniversary.
It's four years, Clint.
Are you going to give me another perm?
No, because
we've grown. We've
moved past that. Thankfully.
And I thought
this next piece
of audio that I'm about to play you,
we need beers, Claudia. Producer Claude, I know it's very early. It's 7.30 on a audio that I'm about to play you, we need beers, Claudia.
Producer Claude, I know it's very early.
It's 7.30 on a Wednesday.
I'm about to have a coffee.
Hey, it's five o'clock somewhere.
It's our four.
Five o'clock somewhere.
Five in the morning.
It's our four-year anniversary.
Those are twisties.
And you'll see.
You'll see why we need beers.
Okay.
So what I've done, Clint.
At least it's cold, this beer.
It is cold.
Yeah.
Thank you, Producer Claude.
Look, four years on air together and we've done some amazing things
and I've had just the most absolute best time.
Yeah, me too.
It's been really amazing and I'm so grateful that I get to do this with you
and Producer Claude, Producer Ella, Producer Ben,
I need to mention all of them, producer Anastasia and producer Ellie.
We've been through a lot.
It's been an absolute ride and I wouldn't change anything.
And I thought how can I show, you know, how much I've loved it?
How can I convey that to Clint?
So what I did was I went on onto this app called Fiverr.
Okay.
Which is a freelancing app.
Yes, I know the one.
You can get people to do illustrations and stuff for you.
Yes, you can.
And you can also get people to sing a song.
Right.
So I went on there.
I found the best R&B singer I can find because I just thought R&B feels like
the best genre of music to really capture this moment.
Okay.
And I found this R&B singer and what I did was is I've taken five minutes, I've spent
five long minutes writing an anniversary song for you and I, Clint, to celebrate four years
together on air.
So if you want to hit play and we can all just have a moment,
reminisce, and here it is.
This took me five minutes, by the way.
Just keep that in mind.
Here we go. It's been four years
And together we've conquered our fears
But most of all we found multiple beers
Yes, beers
How good are beers?
The Vanu Tour
Friday, your birthday banger
And yeah, we chased Tatum in L.A.
The hot Miss Express, that was the best
But out of it all, I want nothing less
But out of it all, I'd want nothing less
So here I say thank you, for the last four years I'd want nothing less I say cheers to the last four years. So let's raise our beer.
Yes, beer.
Put on beer.
That's amazing.
It took me five minutes to write.
And you paid that guy $5.
No, it cost me about $130.
But worth every penny, mate.
Here's to the last four years. Hey, cheers. Cheers. Cheers to everyone who here's to the last four years
cheers
cheers to everyone who's been listening the last four years
we love you guys and it's been an absolute
ride, here's to another four
bottoms up
Chewy anybody?
Chewy
bit of fun this morning we've asked you to text
in the last thing that you watched on TV
because that is the title of your love life.
Or as we say in code on our afternoon show,
your indoor gardening life.
Right.
If you know what we mean.
So when you say, so it's the title.
It's the title.
It's not what happens in the movie or the show.
No.
It's just the title.
But I mean it lends itself to that, doesn't it?
Yeah, well, kind of.
Well, this one's a double, it works both ways, doesn't it?
Everybody's texting in, well, there's a couple that have texted in
and said the last thing I watched was Gone in 60 Seconds.
What about the person that texted in and said,
I watched the movie with Will Ferrell last night, get hard.
No way it gets better. They said, I've the movie with Will Ferrell last night. Get hard. No way it gets better.
They said, I've seen it about six times now, which is quite ironic
because I have six kids and I'd rather be in San Quentin prison.
That's very good.
Someone's texted the last thing.
A lot of people are texting and actually the last thing they watched was Love Island.
Good one.
You can't actually do it on Love Island though, can you?
Too many cameras.
Yeah, there's a lot of cameras.
Well, you can do it, but you have to be very sneaky about...
Under the covers.
How you do it.
Someone texted and said, title of my love life is Below Deck Down Under.
It's a great show.
What's the last thing you watched?
What's the title of your love life? I think the last thing I watched would have been MasterChef.
Oh, fans versus faves?
Fans versus faves.
Who's the fan and who's the fave?
Whoever you want it to be.
The last thing I watched was Love It or List It.
Interpret that however you want.
Love It or List It.
Producer Claudia, the last thing you watched
is the title of your love life.
What was it?
Besides the classic Stranger Things,
I was re-watching Schitt's Creek.
Oh, no.
Oh, no.
Don't read into that.
Code Brown.
What about you, Producer Ella?
What's the last thing you watched?
Stranger Things.
Yes, Stranger Things.
Don't really know what that means.
Do you not know what that means or is that a pretty fair summation?
I don't know.
We're into some weird stuff.
Someone on the text machine
said the last thing they watched was that show
Naked and Afraid.
Oh no.
What about The Lovely Bones?
Oh no.
That movie terrifies me.
Yeah.
There's so many people texting through.
Oh, someone else texted through and they said they watched Step Brothers.
Oh.
Hey, I'm just reading out the text.
Hey, this is the first time I've ever liked this show,
but someone said the last thing I watched was The Big Bang Theory.
A lot of ticks for that show, The Boys. Been watching The Boys. The Boys. The title for your love life. but someone said the last thing I watched was The Big Bang Theory.
A lot of text for that show, The Boys.
People watching The Boys.
The Boys.
The title for your love life.
The Boys.
The Boys.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Heaps of stranger things.
Designated survivor.
Someone texted through and they said,
last night I watched Brokeback Mountain.
They want to do it, I reckon.
Love Island is consuming the world at the moment.
One of the new Islanders is a very famous dad and revealed it in a semi-awkward conversation.
So your mum is a show jobber?
She was back in the day.
My little sister kind of does it now.
So what does your dad do?
My dad is a singer.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, yeah.
A well-known singer? Yeah, yeah. Do you know Ronan a singer. Oh, okay. Yeah, yeah. A well-known singer?
Yeah, yeah.
Do you know Ronan Keating?
Oh, okay.
Yeah, yeah.
That's the old man.
You might have heard of him, Ronan Keating.
Until he was just itching for her to ask who his dad was.
That's what I was going to ask you.
If you had a really famous parent and you were a relative unknown going on
love island would you tell anybody that you had famous lineage i wouldn't i think it'd be a really
hard thing having a super famous parent yeah because you wouldn't know if people were genuine
and they they liked you for you yeah or they wanted something from you because of who your
parents were yeah i, I understand that.
You also get typecast a bit.
You're not you.
He's not Jack anymore.
No.
He's Ronan Keating's son.
Son.
Yeah, yeah.
Exactly.
You can't just be you.
So we've thrown it out there to,
I mean, we're a very small pond here in New Zealand,
but we want to know,
does anybody listening have famous parents?
That's right.
I said, I hope Paddy Gower's kids call in
and then you were like,
does he have kids? Someone texted through and they said, I hope Paddy Gower's kids call in. And then you were like, does he have kids?
Someone texted through and they said, Paddy does have kids.
I coach his son and he's just as cool as his dad.
That is cool.
That's pretty cool.
Imagine if Paddy Gower was on the sidelines.
Let's get our callers on.
This person wants to remain anonymous.
We get it.
Oh, it's you.
You coach Paddy Gower's kids.
Oh, you coach them.
Yeah, that's me.
We'll keep you anonymous.
What's the sport?
Football.
Football.
Okay.
Oh, yeah, nice.
And what's Pettigower like on the sidelines?
I coach his son on private sessions, which sounds like real bougie, but it's not.
Right.
Okay.
Pettigower's.
I'm not sure what he's like on the sidelines, but I reckon he could be pretty vocal if he wants to.
Anonymous, tell us, is Paddy Gower's son any good or is he a bit crap?
He is.
You have to say that.
That's the right answer, Anonymous.
Thank you.
Rochelle's here.
Hi, Rochelle.
Hi, Rochelle.
Hello.
Hello.
Have you got famous parents, Rochelle?
Well, yeah, I'm adopted
And I met my birth father in the 90s
Okay, okay
I discovered that he was the
Do you remember the CC's ad?
Only CC's, it's the ladies
Yes, I remember that ad
Well, that's my dad
No way
And I used to watch that ad
Yeah, man
Your dad is the guy who does the Mexican accent on the
CC's ad. Yeah, and gets shot
at for giving the wrong corn chips.
Rochelle,
when you were watching that ad,
did you ever feel like a connection
or were you ever like,
that kind of looks like me?
No, not at all.
Well, I mean, why would you?
He's not even Mexican. Well, did you grow up would you? Mexican codger. Yeah, bloody stupid person. He's not even Mexican.
Well, did you grow up loving CCs and you couldn't quite explain why you loved?
You, Rochelle.
My dad's not even Mexican.
Well, I'm not Mexican either.
No, you're not Mexican.
Yeah, right.
A quick question for you.
CCs or Doritos, what do you prefer?
Oh, CCs all the way.
Yeah, exactly right.
Sorry.
CCs are delicious.
It's in your blood.
We understand that. Oh. Yeah, we'll get you. Yeah, exactly right. Sorry. CCs are delicious. It's in your blood. We understand that.
Oh, yeah, we'll get you.
One more from Wookie.
Hi, Wookie.
G'day, Wookie.
Hey, how's it going?
Now, I believe you are the famous parent.
Is that correct?
Yes, I am.
Well, I wouldn't say famous, but...
Well, I mean, you've called up, so you said famous.
Okay.
Why are you famous?
Own it.
Own it, Wookie.
How do we know you, Wookie?
I'm the National New Zealand Vice Beatboxing Champion.
Stop it.
I've waited for this day, Wookie, for someone like you to call the show.

Of course.
Okay, this is Wookie.

Go for it.
There's a little taste for you.

That was amazing.
Wookie, I mean, I wouldn't mind a few pointers.
I like to, you know, get on the beatbox tracks every now and then.
Is Boots and Cats and, like, you know, is that still cool or what?
I taught my sister and daughter how to do Boots and Cats,
so it's definitely where you start.
There you go.
You know, we were meant to have Chris Parker on the show this morning,
but that interview fell through at the last minute.
Doesn't matter.
We've got the National Vice Beatboxing Champion on the show.
How good is this?
That was actually amazing.
I loved every second of that.
Bree and Clint.
Just before we do Birthday Banger,
we were talking before about whether you've got famous parents or not
because Ronan Keating's son's gone on Love Island.
We thought we'd peaked with the woman who coaches Paddy Gower in soccer.
That was pretty good.
We have a new champ, new most famous parents.
Someone has texted and they said,
my dad is the Mitre 10 Mega Man.
Oh, my God.

I don't know if Brie is ready for this. If you're about...
No, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Let's just back it up for a second.
Because if you're about to say what I think you're about to say yeah what i think you're about to say because

We're living through the sriracha spicy sauce shortage
Also devastating
About to impact New Zealand.
Or currently impacting New Zealand.
The great chicken nugget shortage of 2022.
I'm actually, this is me being genuine.
Yeah.
Not just for the radio lols.
Yeah.
I'm so upset.
The nuggies are in short supply.
Why?
Why chicken nuggets?
I'll explain to you why.
If you calm down for a second, I'll explain.
I can't calm down.
Egbert Seegers, he's the CEO of Teagle Foods,
Teagle Chicken Products in New Zealand, right?
Got it.
He said that we're experiencing the perfect storm for a chicken nugget shortage at the
moment.
Winter, which means a lot of their staff are out with illness, staff shortages, and a CO2
shortage.
CO2?
The gas that they use to make fizzy drinks.
They also use that to-
Make the batter?
Nah, to give chicken
longer shelf life,
apparently. Oh, well, I did need to hear that.
Yeah, it's a bit grummy.
Even the slightly fancier
chicken tenders and chicken
burger patties we're experiencing
a shortage of at the moment, too.
As if this shitty pandemic
couldn't get any worse. Now you can't
even have your comfort food of chicken nuggets.
I mean, take the Filet-O-Fish.
Take that away.
Oh, no, don't excuse me.
But don't take the chicken nuggets for God's sake.
Speak for yourself.
You can have the Filet-O-Fish.
No.
But don't take our chicken nuggets.
One New Zealand chicken supplier is suggesting that customers get creative
and make their own chicken nuggets. Why New Zealand chicken supplier is suggesting that customers get creative and make their own chicken nuggets.
Why don't you go away?
The reason we have chicken nuggets is because they're easy,
because we don't have to make them ourselves.
That's the whole point of chicken nuggets.
You think if I was going to make myself some food,
I'd make a chicken nugget?
If I was going to put effort into it, I'd have real food.
You know?
I wouldn't have a stupid chicken nugget.
That's the beauty of chicken nuggets.
That's some of the appeal.
Like, I don't understand.
They want us to do this, and we've just come,
like, we've been in however many lockdowns
where we've had to cook for ourselves the whole time.
Exactly right.
Exactly right.
We don't deserve this.
But there you go.
The chicken nugget shortage is on the way.
If you see them, stockpile them.
I reckon you'll get good money for chicken nuggets
on Facebook Marketplace.
I don't know if I'd be buying chicken nuggets off Facebook Marketplace.
Well, you wait and see how desperate you get.
We're in desperate times.
