ZM's Bree and Clint, thanks to KFC's new Nashville Zinger FLG rap.
And now, coming to you live from the ZM Studios... rap. Hello everybody.
Good afternoon and happy Tuesday.
Happy Tuesday everyone.
I came into work today, you'll be proud of me,
exercise this morning and I had to wash my hair.
It was just at that point I was like, I need to wash it.
And I just ran out of time so I just left my hair
to just fly naturally.
And I walk in to see Sam who records our Friday Oki,
our audio engineer and he goes,
oh whoa, love your hair, did you get a perm? And he goes, oh, whoa, love your hair.
Did you get a perm?
And I said, no, it's my natural hair.
He goes, really?
Looks like a perm.
I like it too.
Oh, thanks.
See, it doesn't look weird in a side part
when it's your natural hair.
It just looks like you've just flomped your hair over.
Looks very natural, you know?
Yeah, just effortless.
I say that to my wife too.
I say, I like your natural hair.
What's her natural hair?
Little bit wavy.
Little bit wavy.
And she straightens it.
Yeah, she's like, shut up.
Can you ask her if I can borrow her Dyson hair wrap?
Oh yeah.
Well, I don't want to buy-
It's quite an intimate object to borrow, isn't it?
Is it?
Isn't it?
Well, I don't want to buy one and then be like,
oh, this actually doesn't work well on my hair.
Oh, yeah, OK.
But if I borrow it for a week, then I'll be like,
well, I bought it for her.
So do I get to decide who borrows it?
You can just ask me.
Can I borrow the gift you purchased for your wife?
No.
Oh.
Just kidding.
Probably.
That's a no.
Just a tip for the fellas.
Yeah.
Don't ever tell your wife when she has natural hair
and it's a bit wavy
Don't ever tell her that she looks like Chad Kroger from Nickelback
Did you say that to your wife?
Only as a joke, only as a joke
Why would you say that?
Because if you do genuinely like it, she'll never do it again, she'll never do it again
Funny joke
Anyway you don't, you look lovely. Damn that sounds sarcastic. Yeah it does sound sarcastic. Go to our Instagram if you want to see a picture of Bree's hair.
No we're not doing that. Yeah, at Bree and Clint on Instagram I'll put it on the story.
It looks nice. Okay. My hair's natural too, thanks for noticing. Let's get into Trady vs Lady

You got it.
I picked up on it, Kiha.

Thank you very much.
They'll buy a lot of worms.
Yeah, plenty of worms.
Some gummy worms.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, gummy worms.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Wink, wink, wink.
Speaking of putting items in carts,
our producer Claudia came to us today with a deal that
was just too good to resist, Claude.
It was a deal of a lifetime, honestly.
Oh no, what have you been sucking into buying?
No, I wasn't sucked into anything.
Was it one of those ones where you go, if I don't buy this, I'm basically losing money?
Literally, it was.
I literally live and die by that idiom.
Yeah.
It's so not true.
Once other people start buying things too,
I'm like, I get really competitive
and I'm like, I want one too.
Yeah.
Give me that.
Totally.
So what I did.
Anytime I save money on something,
if it's enough that I could get two of the thing,
I get two, even if I don't need two.
Yeah, same.
Like if it's a 50% off sale,
rather than just banking the 50%, I'll get two.
Yeah.
I came here to spend 100%, I'm gonna spend 100%.
I'll get one in another colour.
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah.
Or one for when the first one breaks.
Yeah, that too.
Well, I've got a deal for you guys.
Yeah, come on then.
What is the deal that sucked you in so bad?
Last night, went to the supermarket, as you do.
This far after Easter, Easter eggs are on special special.
Oh, you're talking my language. I'm already hooked.
They are so on special. And so I was literally I walked into the checkout part, like the
South checkout. Yeah.
And then I walked back out because I saw the deal. They are up for $1.50 each.
How big? Yeah, what kind?
All of them. Literally all of them. The boxes, the bags.
What? The boxed ones are $1.50.
The boxes are $1.50.
Where is this place?
At my local one.
Oh, you need to give me the address.
Give them a shout out.
Oh, Woolworths, Ponsonby.
Wow.
Yeah.
That's the fancy Woolworths too.
I know.
So naturally I found the section that I wanted
and grabbed one and I'm like, well, I'm grabbing one.
I might as well grab two.
And I'm grabbing two.
Yeah, but what did you grab?
What kind? These were the little kinder eggs, the little packs of kinder eggs.
I love those ones. What do you reckon they RRP for?
Those I think full price were seven or eight dollars initially which is way too much.
Holy smokes. So I've grabbed two right so I might as well grab six.
You're making money. I grabbed six of them and walked out with it. And then you know what I did? Wait, did you say you grabbed six of them?
I grabbed six bags.
It cost me $9.
And you know what I did after that?
What?
I went back again this morning and I got six more eggs.
So I spent $18 on 12 different things.
Cause they were $1.50 each.
And I was like, I don't need this many. But when it's a deal like that I'm gonna get 12.
Surely they don't go off either?
No well to be fair I think these might be from last year because they've only got three
months left on them.
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh you up. I would struggle to not buy anything for a dollar fifty.
Right? Like if they dropped Bunnings sausage sizzles to a dollar fifty I'd walk out there with six. I'd eat
there every Saturday morning. Yeah. I would literally go to Bunnings if they dropped their prices of the snags and
changed it back to real sausages and not those horrible sizzler sausages.
Oh yeah.
I can't eat them eh?
Like if they changed them back.
For a dollar fifty you'd suck it down.
But every time I eat it all I crave is like a real sausage.
Yeah.
You know?
Yeah it's a gateway sausage.
Yeah stop giving us these imposter sausages.
Imposter sausages.
We know what you're doing.
We want to ask the thing that you just bought
cause it was such a good deal,
you just couldn't not buy it.
You didn't necessarily need this thing
like our producer Claudia doesn't necessarily need
18 bags of Kinder Surprise eggs,
but she's got them.
She's got them because the deal was too good.
It makes you feel good when you get a deal.
It does.
It gives you like endorphins.
It often tricks you into spending money that you weren't otherwise going to buy.
And you often end up with a room full of things that you don't need.
And you'll probably end up chucking out.
You get that endorphin rush.
Oh it's a serotonin rush from buying something on a deal.
You get a little shot in the arm from making the purchase.
100% you do.
0800.ZM or you can text it to 9696.
The thing that you bought
just because it was such a good deal.
Like just the best deal you ever saw.
Babe,
babe I had to buy it.
You wouldn't believe what they were getting rid of these things for.
Two alpacas for $150.
I was not going to get two alpacas.
God, now that is a deal.
Dead eggs for the brain cleanse.
We're asking what's the deal that you got.
We thought Claudia's deal was good
when she came in and told us
that she got six mini Easter eggs for $1.50.
She's just bought us one of the eggs into the studio each.
They've got Smarties in them.
This is a, to me this is a $1.50 an egg.
Not a $1.50 for six.
And it's not that crap chocolate, you know?
Yeah, it's brand new chocolate.
You know the average chocolate it's bloody caper-y. Sorry to keep banging on about it but Claudia
said she bought six last night, six bags of six, because the deal was so good and then this morning
couldn't help but go back for another six bags. Claudia I worked out you've bought 72 of these
Easter eggs. For $18. For $18. That's a good deal deal. That is a great deal. What's that per egg?
It's not a Kinder either. It's a Cadbury Humpty Dumpty egg. What does it work out per egg?
Oh, excuse me. How did I not work that out? 72 eggs divided by how much did you spend? $18.
$18. Oh no, that doesn't work. It's 25 cents. I've just done it.
Is this a 25 cent history?
So you guys owe me 25 cents each.
Thanks.
Get wrecked.
Kelly's here. Hi, Kelly.
Hi.
Hi.
What's the deal that was so good that
you just had to get it?
It was a car.
So my daughter's got to learn to drive
and someone said, oh, I've got a car
that you can have.
It's like 4,000 and it's only done 69,000 K
with one lady owner.
What?
Oh, that sounds like a good deal to me, Kelly.
I know, we looked at it, it's really pretty,
it's really cute.
Now I don't want you to lean on it
because it's nicer than my car.
Now we've already got two cars,
so I don't really need a third car.
Get it for yourself and give her your party car.
Give her the crap car, Kelly.
Yeah.
Did you do it?
Yep.
Who got the car?
Well, I'm still driving it at the moment.
Yeah.
Oh, I see where I see your game, Kelly.
That's a deal.
Smart, she's a smart woman, Kelly.
Someone said I bought a massage chair.
It was 15 grand down to nine grand.
I didn't need a massage chair because
I already had one, so I gave the other one to my sister. You spent $9,000 so you could save $6,000
on a massage chair that you didn't need. I mean, those numbers check out to me. What about this?
My flatmate spent $275 on a Golf driver, which retail priced at $1,200.
And then they followed it up with,
the driver can't hit it straight though.
Well, no, that's user error.
That's-
I mean, is it?
Yeah.
Or maybe it was faulty.
That's why it was such a good deal.
If you can't hit the ball straight off a $1,200 driver,
I like the idea that you would do that,
but you don't even play golf.
You go, well, that's just too good a deal to pass up.
I can't not get the driver.
It's a great deal.
Yeah.
I love this one too.
After COVID finally calmed down, Pack and Save in Queenstown
was selling big bottles of gel hand cleanser for 99 cents each.
I bought 12 of them.
Still have a couple left in my kitchen cupboard.
There was a good time of life when there was hand sanitizer everywhere.
Yeah.
And it became an expectation that businesses
would have hand sanitizer on hand for you to use.
Bring that back.
Lot of empty hand sanitizer dispensers
around the place I've noticed.
I have noticed that as well.
Someone else said,
I bought a $1,400 pool from the warehouse for 300 bucks
because it was in the middle of winter
and they needed
room in the store. What a deal!
What a deal.
You know, you just pop it in the shed, wait till summer comes back, boom.
Someone else said, Claudia, my supermarket could learn from yours. My countdown still
had hot cross buns for $6 yesterday.
Oh, you're joking.
No, no, no, mark those down.
That is not a deal. Someone else said, Claudia, where are these Easter eggs from?
I need to buy some immediately.
I've just decided I'm gonna go back after work
and buy some more, so I'm,
no, I don't wanna give the name out.
Keep it on the down.
Claudia, you have 72 Easter eggs.
Fine.
You're getting greedy now.
Woolworths, Ponsonby.
Woolworths, Ponsonby.
But-
Run, don't walk.
Go now, or else Claudia will literally buy every last one.
Steamroll through. Next we've got a relationship test for you that you can do to your own
relationship. Yeah it's called the bird relationship test. If you've heard of it
and if you haven't heard of it stick around I'll explain exactly what it is.
So you find out if you're secretly dating a bird or not. It's like when
people thought that you were an owl. An's like when people thought that you were an owl.
An owl?
Yeah, people thought that you were an owl.
Me?
Yeah.
Who?
I knew it.
He flew right into that one, girl!
If you're looking for a test for your relationship, maybe this is the one.
Have you heard of the bird test?
No.
So essentially it involves where one person
in the relationship shares a small or positive observation.
And they call it the bird test,
because it could be like,
oh my God, look at that bird up there.
Yes, oh I've heard of this.
You know? Yeah.
And you share it with like enthusiasm.
So you're like, oh my God, babe,
look at that cute little bird up there.
And you point it out.
Oh my God, look what the cat's doing.
Yeah. Oh, look at the sunset.
Come on, look at the sunset.
Look how big the moon is.
You know, something like that.
And you see how your significant other responds.
Yeah. So essentially, if they respond well and actually give you something back and come and actually
listen and be like, oh my God, yeah, look at that bird.
Show an interest, then that's a great sign.
And if they dismiss it, not a good sign.
Not a good sign.
I have heard of this before. I believe that them not showing interest doesn't mean the relationship
is rooted. Like, it's not done. No, it's obvious. Obviously, there's exceptions.
But you do need to put in a bit more effort, I think. Your partner, it's a good sign to go,
hey. But then that's not the way to bring it it up because then your partner will go, well, you tricked me there.
I think what it's trying to highlight is that you need to have shared experiences with your
partner and you need to have that strong emotional connection where you have that shared experience.
So you need to be present in moments and actually share things with your partner.
And it can be really small stuff like, come and look at this bird.
I heard somebody, I'd love to know who it was,
love to be able to remember who it was,
but somebody famous, they said,
the idea is hopefully you're gonna be married
for a long, long time, okay, a long time.
There's not always going to be hugely significant things
to talk about or do.
No, there's not.
So go and look at the bird.
It's the small mundane things. If your partner thinks the bird is interesting go and look at the bird. It's the small mundane things.
If your partner thinks the bird is interesting, just look at the damn bird.
Just look at the damn bird.
Just go and look at the bird and just go, that's nice.
Yeah, look at the bird. That bird has got rainbow feathers. That is cool.
That is nice.
And that's it. That's all it takes.
Thanks for showing me.
Yeah.
Now can you come and look at this boil on my arm?
Can you come and pop this boil on my arm? Can you come pop this boil on my arm? Ah relationships. Full circle. They're long. Hopefully. Or they're not. Sometimes. And either way.
ZM's Bree and Clint podcast. The Tea live from LA with Dee McCarthy. It's the big day, the Met Gala Day, and there's lots going down.
I'm particularly interested in Lorde and Rihanna, but what is the tea around the Met Gala, Dean?
Oh, yes, so much tea, it's piping hot, clean.
Okay, so first of all, the theme is superfine tailoring black style, looking at 300 years
of black fashion and dandyism, and it's a really, really cool theme.
And lots of hats, lots of very gorgeous couture.
But it was Lorde that had everyone just shook up
and excited to see her there.
First time at the Met Gala in the last, you know,
for four years.
She wore actually, it's actually a duck,
they call it like a duck tape silver outfit
with like a shoulder, a jacket off the shoulder.
It really needs to be looked up.
Google this one now.
Very cool.
She has obviously new music coming out
at the end later in the year.
So perfect time to get a bit of press.
But it was Rihanna showing off a baby bump.
This chick, every time there's a massive event,
she announces that she's pregnant.
Remember she's at the Super Bowl,
now they met Nala.
Very exciting.
She's obviously thrilled that Asap separate isn't going to jail. So they obviously celebrated in being home
I'm Kim Kardashian looks incredible
She looked I think Kim was one of the winners, but I think probably my favorite is Sabrina carpenter. It's just it
It's this maroon
It's almost like a stream to you need to look at other. I googled Sabrina Carpenter mad gala, it was Louis Vuitton.
It even looks Louis Vuitton.
Very fabulous mad gala this year.
I haven't really seen any sales.
I would say.
It's very, Dean, I'm just looking at Sabrina Carpenter.
It's very Jessica Rabbit.
Yeah, definitely is, yeah.
She got like, it's like a suit with no pants.
It's a tuxedo with no bottoms.
Yeah, tuxedo, no pants.
You're right about the Rihanna thing.
Every time people think she's gonna drop a new album, she drops a new baby.
You know?
Yeah.
That's her.
She does, eh?
And you know what?
We're equally as stoked.
But you can push that music out another two years now if you have been waiting for it.
Yeah, it's not coming any time soon.
She's busy.
She's got heaps on.
She's making babies.
She's a busy girl.
Let it go.
If you want to see some pics from the Met Gala,
the ZM online Instagram account has a bunch of them up now.
You can swipe through some of the outfits,
Cynthia Erivo is in there.
Miley Cyrus looks very good as well.
I always am amazed at,
cause what was it?
It was tailored was the theme this year for Met Gala,
wasn't it?
Something like that.
Tailored, is that what it was Dean? It was super fine tailoring black style.
Right, so if you're looking at the outfits and you're wondering that is the theme. I
wasn't, I just like looking at the outfits. Do you reckon most people pick their outfits
and then they just try and make it fit the theme? Yeah, totally. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just
come up with a story afterwards. Yeah. Yep. That's the tea with Dima Carthy.
The ZM Podcast Network.
Who does he think he is cutting Lord off like that?
Well, yeah, exactly right.
It's a problem.
You've got Brian Clintweird talking about wedding costs.
We just talked to your mum.
I reckons they spent maximum five grand on the wedding.
That's what, yeah, my mum said five grand
on my mum and dad's wedding back in the 80s. I text my mum at the same time so eight
minutes ago she has since replied with a photo of the receipt from their wedding.
Oh my god. She just whipped it out and it shows here that on the 3rd of June 1984 they
paid $1,080 for their wedding. Oh, cheap.
Did it on the cheap.
It says $18 per person, 60 guests.
God, how bloody good.
How bloody good.
I wonder what they served.
Does it say?
No, it doesn't say.
I would love to know.
I would love to have known that.
Probably chicken, fish.
Do you want the chicken or the fish?
And dad's dad paid for the booze.
So booze is on top of that.
Booze is normally one of the biggest bills
at a wedding I feel.
Mum said the only drink your grandfather ever paid for.
There you go.
We're trying to get an idea of the average cost of a wedding at the
moment. A New Zealand wedding planner reckons the average amount that people
are spending on their wedding in 2025 is $87,000. I think it's too high. It does
sound high. Sounds way too high to me. But let's go to the people. Jesse's here.
Hi Jesse. Hi Jesse. Hi. What do you reckon Jesse? What did you pay? So 14 years ago we paid $15,000 for our wedding,
but I was planning my wedding and it got a bit out of hand, so we planned an engagement party
and got some sweet deals because they thought it was our engagement party. Ah yeah! I love that for you Jessie.
You got rid of the wedding tax? How good. We did, yep. Okay, so 15 grand, what did you say, 14 years ago? Yeah. It's definitely changed since then.
Give or take, even if you take into account 14 years ago, I still don't think
it's up to 87. Here's a text, 50 grand for a Waiheke Island wedding last month. Okay, how many guests?
We only had 50 guests and still had to be pretty budget conscious. The venue was three grand like
your last person said, but normally that doesn't include food, alcohol, so probably, yeah right.
So 50 guests for how much? 50 guests, 50 grand. That seems like a lot.
Jen's here, hi Jen.
Hi Jen.
Hi, how are you?
Good thanks.
When was your wedding, Jen?
My wedding was in 2021,
and like the height of COVID.
Right.
And how much did you spend?
How many people first of all?
So we actually did like an allotment package.
Yeah.
But we added extra people on.
So we had 15 in total.
And it cost us the whole thing, rings included, about $14,000.
Whoa, that's a good deal, Jen.
But you only had 15 people.
Only 15, yeah.
Yeah.
So that's the same price as the Waheke one, that's $1,000 per person.
Yeah, but this was like, we did, like, whether that's like your rings,
whether that's all included in the cost, I don't know.
Different kind of deal.
Yeah, good point, Jen, good point.
Yeah, OK okay thank you.
Someone said we spent 20 grand in 2020 for 120 people.
That is working on a good budget.
And that was a pretty average wedding in regards to flashiness.
Dress was three grand, wedding band was two grand.
They seem like pretty normal prices.
Yep, we paid 30 grand six years ago for our wedding.
We cut heaps of costs by having family and friends who were vendors gift their services
as a wedding present.
Oh yeah.
Yeah, that's nice.
What about this one?
We did a 175 people wedding.
This was two years ago for 50k.
Whoa!
That is wild!
175!
That is a big wedding. Whoa! For 50k I feel like you did well.
Okay we found a cheap wedding. Shona's here. Hi Shona. Hi Shona. Hi how are you? Good thank you mate.
Good Shona, when did you get married? 21 years ago. Okay good. Yeah and how much did you pay? Do you remember Shona? Ha we paid 20 New Zealand dollars
Like 20
20 New Zealand dollars
20 bucks. Yeah, what's that per person? How many guests did you have?
So we got my auntie paid for us to go over to Fiji. Yeah
To avoid all the dramas of all the family together.
So we invited some friends over and they were like, sweet, we'll pay for our meals and you
pay for your meals.
And I'm like, I'm not paying for meals.
It's in my baggage.
What did you spend the 20 bucks on?
My marriage license in Fiji.
Hey, that's pretty pretty important I think money well
spent Shona. Shona does a $20 marriage last 21 years are you still married?
We're still happily married we're still like newlyweds. There you go Shona. You don't need all the flashy things and the
horses and the flowers you just need a marriage license and you're good to go.
That's right marriage license bare feet on the beach, sweet.
Thanks, Shane, I appreciate it.
I'm so interested in your idea of weddings.
Where's the horse?
I could have a horse, someone could ride in on a horse.
Why?
Why not?
It's my day, if I want a horse,
I'll ride in on a bloody horse.
But you don't want to spend any money, this is the thing that I can't understand with you. You're like, no, I'll ride it on a bloody horse. But you don't want to spend any money.
This is the thing that I can't understand with you.
You're like, no, I'll be doing it for 10 grand flat.
And then you're like, I want to come in on a horse.
Yeah, I come from a family that owns horses.
I'll get it for free.
Oh, OK.
No, just one of the farm horses.
Horse privilege.
Yeah.
It's ZM's Bri and Clint podcast. Let's get classical.
Let's get classical.
Let's do it.
Where we try and guess pop songs, ZM playlist songs, reimagined in classical style.
Today it's Bri and I against music director of ZM, Pixie, where the prize is picking tomorrow's playlist
for the Bri and Clint show.
This is huge, this might be the best prize ever.
The stakes are on the line team.
If you guys win, what's the first song you're playing?
Dan Rumble Cruel.
Okay, with the rap?
Yes, correct.
Added music, yeah New Zealand Music Month.
Added New Zealand Music Month, so it makes sense.
That's okay, that choice?
That's okay, yeah.
I'm thinking that Spice Girls song
that I've been trying to get on the air for weeks.
Oh yeah it's real off brand Spice Girls.
What is it?
Um, it was late Spice Girls.
It can be the second song.
Yeah it's after Ginger.
Wow hold on, I need to know.
That's not real Spice Girls.
And it's not Viva Forever.
No, what was it called?
Holla.
Oh what?
Alana Mikuhal called? Holla. Oh, Alana Mikuhala.
Banger.
Everybody now wants Pixie to win.
Everyone's looking forward to that.
Claudia, take us through the game.
So this is Let's Get Classical.
It is pop songs turned into a classical style,
and it is Bree, Clint and Pixie's job to pick what they are.
I need the artist and the name of the song.
First team to two points takes home the win.
Good luck, Pixie.
Are you ready?
Yeah, good luck, team.
Good luck, everyone.
Here's your first song.
["Pixie"]
Pixie.
Oh, Pixie.
Driver's license, Olivia Rodrigo.
No, it's not.
Worth a shot, though, Pixie, I'll say.
Brie Plenty, do you have anything?
I don't have anything from her.
Is it Demi Lovato, Cruel for the Summer?
No.
Cruel for the Summer.
It's not, no.
True, you've got to have a guess.
It's worth a guess.
You've got to have a guess.
Is it Spice Girls, Holla?
Oh, wonderful.
Oh!
Brie!
That's Alex Warren, Carry You Home.
It is! Oh!
Bree, that's Alex Warren, Carry You Home. It is!
Come on!
Wow!
We've played it enough.
It's in my brain.
And just like that, Pixie, we're at match point.
What say you music director Pixie?
What say me? I'm sweating through my sweater. She seems cool, calm and collected though.
She does.
You need to get this one, but I mean we need to get it too.
We do.
So.
Yeah, good luck everybody.
Oh
Pixie
Pixie yeah. Yeah, go on then these days days Macklemore, Jess Glenn and someone. Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
She could have just said Macklemore, eh?
100%.
You don't need to name everyone as long as you get one.
Do I get two points for that?
Oh, this is the exact thing that happened last week and now we have to get this one.
Except last week none of you could get one of the songs.
Oh that's right, yeah true.
I feel like one of you will get this one and this is for the win.
Don't say that, Claude.
Okay.
Here it is.
Ready?
Viva La Vida Coldplay.
Yes it is.
Come on!
In the track, Christ Girls Holla Clint, you got it?
Load her up.
Tell you what, Viva La Vida would sound great on the Bree and Clint Programmed Radio Show
tomorrow.
Put it on the list! Put it on the list!
Well, I was not prepared to win.
I don't think Pixie was prepared to lose.
Um, yeah. Alright, load up the crease.
Load up the hoes.
This is like after the All Blacks lose a big match, you've still got to do the press conference.
Pixie, what do you got to say?
Yeah, how are you feeling?
I'm gonna need a new t-shirt after that.
Hey Pixie, you know what this song is?
Let's go baby!
Amy, you correctly picked the Bre and Clint team to win, we've got some KFC coming your
way.
Great, thanks so much.
You got any suggestions for a song for the playlist tomorrow Amy?
What do you want to hear?
I'll ask my daughter, she's Ken, what song?
Um, uh, Lose Yourself by Eminem.
You got it, what a great pick.
What a great choice, it's in the show tomorrow.
Just for you guys.
It's ZM's on the show tomorrow.
Just for you guys.
It's ZM's Brinklin podcast.
Started a thing last week where we are now on a quest
to find out who is the rarest human out of all of us.
Yeah. You gave us a bunch of rare genetic traits
and turns out we're pretty run of the mill.
Yep. None of us had a single one.
Didn't you give yourself a half point for something?
Yeah, I gave myself a half point for having a bum chin.
Oh, that's right. But only half a bum chin.
Half, yeah.
A mild bum chin.
Yeah, it's a half a bum crack. So I got half a point, which doesn't count. We're all on
even playing field. No one's got any points. Producers, are you ready for another round? Yeah, I hope I win this one.
Okay, here we go. These are some of the rarest human genetics part two. Mark it
down if you have any of these things. Number one, a widow's peak. Oh, I always
wanted one but I don't. If you don't know what a widow's peak is, Fran Drescher
has a widow's peak where the hair meets in a point on your forehead. Count Dracula from the
muppets has a widow's peak. He sure does, very prominent. Only 33% of people have a widow's peak.
It's pretty common one in three. Yeah. Okay. That seems too common, I haven't seen a widow's peak in
One and three? Yeah.
Okay.
That seems too common.
I haven't seen a widow's peak in years.
Yeah.
33%.
I can't say I ever see them.
I think Lorde has a widow's peak.
Does she?
I was looking at her slip back
and she's got a little point in the middle.
Let's have a look.
Google Lorde forehead.
She kind of got, like it's a widow's peak slash cowlick.
Like it's a bit of both.
I'd say it's more cowlick.
Okay, none for us though.
Okay, none for us.
Next one.
The short sleep gene.
Is this where you don't need much sleep to run?
You only need, you feel fully rested after just four hours of sleep.
Yeah, I bet you do.
Do you actually have that?
Yeah, I don't need much sleep. Amazing. Wow. No, I've got the opposite. I've got that. Yeah, I bet you do. Do you actually have that?
Yeah, I don't need much sleep.
Amazing.
Wow. No, I've got the opposite.
I'm so jealous. Do you actually have that?
I do, and my mum does as well.
Wow!
Yeah.
Lucky.
I'd be so productive if I had that.
You'd have so much more time.
Yeah.
Waste your time sleeping.
Sleeping.
Okay, you get one.
Okay, Pixie's on one.
She's the rarest out of all of us so far. Okay number six, hitchhiker's thumb. Where your thumb bends all the way backwards.
No, normal thumbs. Show me Pixie. No I'm not gonna give you a point on that. Quite a bendy thumb.
Oh no! That doesn't look good. Half a point. Half a point. 25% of people have a hitchhiker's thumb.
Okay, number five, unbreakable bones.
Oh, look what Pixie just did with her thumb.
Yeah, that should have broken.
Some people are born with such dense bones that it is nearly impossible to break.
I've never broken a bone, but I'm not sure.
Dense, yeah, very dense bones.
Okay, none of us have that.
Number four, green eyes. Okay, none of us have that number four green eyes
No, but I wish two percent of people in the world have green eyes green eyes
You got green eyes, I agree eyes Wow, so do I green eyes to oh what so 50% of
Our group is no windows peaks no windows peaks number three Green eyes too. Oh, what? So 50% of. 50% of this group. 50% of our group has green eyes.
But no widows peaks.
No widows peaks.
Number three, supertaster tongue.
25% of the population have a tongue with more taste buds.
Well, how would we know?
Food tastes nice to me, so maybe.
Apparently, yeah, you don't like coffee.
No, stop trying to be real cord.
I'm trying to shoehorn myself in.
You got a normal ass tongue. Trying to shoehorn myself in. You've got a normal air stung.
Food tastes very good to me.
Okay, next.
No, red hair and blue eyes.
So you have to have red natural red hair and blue eyes.
Only 0.1% of the world's population has that.
I thought red hair and brown eyes would have been rarer.
No, that'd be the most common.
What? I thought most redheads had blue eyes. No. What? What? What? What? What redheads are you looking at?
Wait, let me look at Julia Roberts. She's a natural redhead, isn't she? Brown eyes. Yeah, brown eyes.
Huh. Yeah, what are you talking about? What are you talking about? What are you talking about? Okay, and the last one, extra colour vision. Clint's out of this one.
Apparently some women are born with four colour receptors and they can see an extra one million
colours. I believe I, so I've had so many arguments with people. Shut up Claudia, you do not.
And they're like, it's rare. No it's not. So I- Stop trying to justify that you're the rarest.
We've known you for years,
and this is the first time you've brought up your-
That's because I don't talk about colours anymore,
because people always try to argue with me.
And then she's like, I also am like Lord,
and I see music in colour.
Claudia's like, please make me unique.
Please, please.
Please.
I'm too generic.
Please.
I don't like the other girls.
Hey, we did better on that round.
Some of us got a point on some things.
Oh, everyone except me.
Text us and let us know if you got more points than us.
Well, you beat Claudia because she got zero.
The most generic, run-of-the-mill, average human being.
But her pretty cool leg goes.
Baze, Claudia. Baze, Claudia. Play ZM's Bree and Clint. They're pretty cool legos. Beige clear.
Play ZM's Bree and Clint.
Finally my time is here.
Guys, what a day for me.
I have absolutely kicked it in the dick on this one.
Yeah.
And cashed in on a warranty.
I'm so invested.
Like I'm not a big warranty person.
You've heard me talk about how most of the time I risk it,
where I'm like, you know, if you buy a new TV.
Oh, you mean the extended warranty?
Oh, the extended warranty.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, right.
Yeah.
No, no, no, extended warranty, largely a scam, I believe.
I think so.
You're usually, not to sound like a total boomer,
but you're usually covered
by the Consumer Guarantees Act anyway
for a realistic period of time.
That was total boomer then. You went total boomer.
You are though.
I was OK about it.
This is a warranty on my car that I've cashed in on.
Oh.
A 10-year warranty guarantee. Do you remember when I bought my car?
Your car has a 10-year warranty?
Yeah, a 10- year warranty. Yeah, 10 year warranty.
On what?
Look, I'm not going to go speak out of turn because I don't exactly know.
Mechanical.
10 years?
It's a 10 year warranty.
Yeah.
Yeah, okay.
If you buy a brand new from the dealership on Mitsubishis.
Right.
I don't know exactly what it covers.
True, but when you sell that car onto someone else,
they don't get it.
No, they don't.
So only the original purchaser.
Yes.
So they want you to keep that car for 10 years.
Exactly.
Wow, okay.
Exactly.
Anyway, for the past like 12 months or so,
I've been having problems with my touch screen or my dash
on my, you know, for the radio and for your car play and all that.
And I've like danced around it and then finally I was like, oh, I'm going to take it in, actually
be an adult and hope like hell that this is covered under my 10-year warranty. Anyway,
I got a text from them this afternoon. They've fully replaced the touchscreen. Brand new everything,
done and dusted and my car is ready to go to be picked up. How good? Is there a better feeling?
There's no better feeling. I don't have to pay a cent. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
How long have you had the car for? Like three years, eh? At At least four I think. Four years? Yeah, had the car
for four years. I love that. I don't think I've ever had it happen to me before. Oh you've
got to get into it, it's a way of life for me. You know who runs a really good warranty
system? Who? Dyson. What are they doing? So if you buy a Dyson vacuum or fan or something
like that you can go on the website and register your Dyson and then you don't need to have the receipt right and then
you call them up like if the battery shits the bed or something yeah and
they're really good and they're like oh yeah we'll just send you another one
yeah what so if your battery dies within warranty period on your Dyson vacuum
they can just look it up and go boom oh yes we can see you've had that vacuum for 21 months
you're covered under your warranty.
We'll send you another one.
Oh, I love that.
That was my experience anyway.
How bloody good.
Yeah, yeah.
I feel like there's a few companies
are kind of moving in that direction.
Cause I think, not GHD, it was Cloud9.
Oh yeah.
You can do the same thing where you register
You know what we've had before?
Your machine.
We've had it, we had a NutriBullet. Yeah. And you know how the we've had before? We had a NutriBullet.
Yeah.
Oh God, I love a NutriBullet.
You know how the little pins on the side of the NutriBullet
when you click it into place can snap off?
And if you snap off one of the pins, it's useless.
It's like a safety thing.
It can't turn the motor on
unless all three pins are locked in.
To hold it in place.
I took them to Brisco's and they said,
oh yeah, just go and grab another one off the shelf.
What?
Yeah, they said, oh yeah, yeah, we understand.
But you've got the receipt and I did have the receipt.
How old was it?
It was, it was almost a year old.
Okay.
So I don't know how long it would cover you for.
You know, like.
But they were like, but it must happen all the time and they're fine with it.
Like, oh yeah, just go and grab another one.
Like I get it because a year, I want another one.
Yes.
But imagine if you roll in there
You're like hey, this just happened on my NutriBullet. They're like go get another one and it's bloody ten years old
Ten years cheeky
Cheeky I'd say more
When you buy a NutriBullet, how long are you expecting to?
How many years you expecting out of that machine?
Two to three?
Oh, I think that's too low.
Yeah.
I think I'm happy with five.
Five years, okay.
Five is a good number.
So if you were in Nutribullet,
shat the bed on year four,
would you go in and plead your case?
100%, I'd be like, I need another one.
I think more people should.
Yeah.
You know, when I was growing up,
we had one blender for the whole fricking time I was there.
The blender was there before me
and the blender was there after me.
My mum still has the beaters she got,
like the cake baking beaters from her wedding
that she got given as a wedding present.
So does my mum.
They don't make things like they used to.
God, how old are we?
You know, anyway, it's a good feeling You know? Anyway, it's a good feeling.
This is good.
It is a good feeling.
And we want to know, when did you use your things warranty?
How long was it good for?
And how good was the feeling?
And did they fix it or did they just give you
a whole new one outright?
Yeah, like what was the outcome?
And did you just revel in every bit of that feeling?
Mm, 0800DIALZM. Or you can text to 9696 Warranty Chat.
We want successful execution of people's consumer rights
this afternoon on the Bri and Clint show.
We love it.
ZM's Bri and Clint podcast.
We're just talking Warranty Chat. Yeah, it's Bri and Clint's customer helpline this afternoon. Yeah, Warranty Chat. Yeah, it's Brie and Clint's customer helpline this afternoon.
Yeah, Warranty Chat for the win.
God, we love it.
It's so good because for the first time in my life, I have reaped the rewards of a warranty.
Brie got a whole new infotainment centre in her car for free.
Boom.
Was under warranty, took the car in, they said, yep, we'll take care of it, we've
replaced it. Oh, how good. Got it feels good.
Someone texted in and they said our car wasn't starting after like 10 years. It was a 10
year old car. It turned out the manufacturer had some problems with the starter motor on
that model, so they replaced the starter motor under warranty. Turns out the transmitter
chip in my key had just fallen out. That's why it wasn't starting. But free starter motor for me.
Wow. That's crazy.
That one's good because you didn't even need a starter motor.
No, you just got a new one for free.
But you'll take a free one if they'll give you one. Sharna's here. Hi Sharna.
Hi Sharna.
Hi, how are you guys?
Good, thank you Sharna. Tell us when did you benefit from a warranty?
It was last year.
I've got this suitcase that's been
all around the world with me.
Yeah.
And then the handles kept breaking on it.
Yeah.
So I had to look and the warranty was for 10 years
and I was like nine months, nine years and 10 months.
And they just sent me out the parts to replace it. Wow. Wait, so you'd had- Nine years and ten months and they just sent me out the parts to replace it.
Wow. Wait, so you'd had... Nine years and ten months?
You had two months left on the warranty and you cashed it in?
Yeah, that had no problems. It was like some, sorry about the child.
It's okay, it's okay. You still got the warranty on that child?
I wish.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I love those products that say they've got a lifetime warranty. You still got the warranty on that child? I wish.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
I love those products that say they've got a lifetime warranty.
Yeah, like...
Because can you imagine...
I bought a...
It's risky.
I bought a rake over the weekend.
It said lifetime warranty.
And it said lifetime warranty.
And when I bought it, I was like, is that my lifetime or the rake's lifetime?
Because if I bring this... If I keep this Rake for 45 years
and it's got no teeth left on it,
is the Fiskars company gonna, probably,
probably have to.
I'd say so.
As long as the lifetime warranty sticker doesn't peel off.
Do you reckon many products and brands
put lifetime warranty on things anymore?
I don't know, because who's lifetime?
What does lifetime mean?
You don't see it all that often. Michael's here. Hi Michael. Hi Michael.
G'day. Welcome to Warranty Chat. When did you cash in on the warranty?
Probably about three years ago I think. Okay and what was it Michael? It was a tent from the
warehouse. Well actually two tents from the warehouse. I decided to go for a camping trip
and didn't check the weather and then it turned out that there was a cyclone so the tent got
wrecked in the cyclone. So then I went back to the warehouse and they were like yeah sweet let's go
grab another one. So I went back out and went to a music festival. But wait, Michael, Michael, you took it in a cyclone though.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Did you mention that when you returned it to the warehouse?
No, they didn't really ask any questions.
So they were just like, oh, yep, no, the poles are broken.
So just go grab another one.
Yeah. So I just thought, oh, yeah, no, I'll just keep it quiet on that one. Cheeky, that's cheeky. We said before about the
NutriBullet, that's also cheeky. Yeah that's cheeky, very cheeky. What about this one? I bought a brand new couch last year around eight months ago and within
the last month it started to come away at the seams. This wasn't a cheap couch, it was around five grand.
I pulled them up on the warranty
and got a brand new couch replacement.
How good.
The whole couch?
Not just the cushions?
Oh, I guess the stitching on the actual couch.
I think the couch cushions were coming apart.
So you should.
If your couch starts to shit the bed after eight months.
You deserve a new couch.
How long do you think a couch should last? For me, couches are 10 years. 10 years? I reckon
you should get 10 years out of a couch. I'd be happy with 8 to 10. Okay yep.
Someone said I bought a, oh this is so good, I bought a used portable spa on
TradeMe for 300 bucks. The previous owner gave me the receipt when I purchased it.
A week later it wouldn't stay inflated
so I took it back to the store
and they replaced it with a brand new one worth $1200.
You're joking.
Oh, what a good day for that person.
There's some other great ones like this one.
Bought a new Cloud9 straightener last September
and it started sparking in March.
That's not good for a hair straightener.
No, I don't think you want that.
Had to send it back but they gave me a new one and they threw in a brush and a comb and
it was all covered under my three-year warranty. How good.
How good.
That's what you want. This one's great as well. AEG front loader washing machine, crack
in the door, one phone call and a new door was delivered and fitted
at no cost.
That's bloody good.
That is fantastic service from AEG.
Also someone has clarified if it says it has a lifetime warranty, it means the expected
lifetime of the product.
That's cloudy.
That's grey area. What's the expected lifetime of a rake?
Yeah that's BS. They're trying to trick you. Yeah. You know some rakes could last well into
their 60s or 70s. Oh they don't make rakes like they used to. They definitely don't make rakes
like they used to. They're all plastic now.
Someone just ticks in and said Tupperware replaced my mum's Tupperware from the 1970s
because it has a crack in it.
What?
That's a lifetime warranty.
Oh good on you Tupperware.
There it is.
Blanklint.
We were talking just before about warranties and then lifetime warranties and then we mentioned
how Tupperware has a lifetime warranty and we were talking about what lifetime warranty means.
Yeah, what does that actually mean?
Is it lifetime of the purchaser?
Is it lifetime of what?
Someone texted and said Tupperware's lifetime warranty is the lifetime of the person who buys the Tupperware.
So if you buy it when you're 20,
That blows my mind.
and you live until you're 90,
the Tupperware is...
Will be with you for the whole time.
Or they will replace it.
Yeah.
Isn't that insane?
Tupperware went bankrupt last year.
It's probably why.
But they still exist.
And I just googled, does Tupperware still honour their lifetime warranty?
And it said, yes, they still honour their lifetime warranties.
I don't think you can necessarily get more Tupperware now.
How much is a Tupperware container these days?
How much are they running for?
Good question.
I don't know if you can even get it now because they're bankrupt.
But you literally can't buy it anymore.
I don't know, you can.
Yeah. Oh, very reasonable.
How much?
Like a pasta container, $12.
Okay.
Cereal store, $21.
So, I mean containers like that aren't cheap.
What is this show becoming?
Mate, I'm into it.
Oh no, I'm into it too, but every now and then you have to step back and look yourself in the mirror and go,
top of your chair.
What are you running, Systemers?
We just moved to some glass stuff from New World.
Pyrex.
Yeah.
Pyrexes.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Cause my wife's scared of...
See what I did there?
What?
You were trying to get out.
Oh, I sucked right back in!
And I lashed you away.
Oh my god, it was so easy.
Back in England.
All I want from my birthday
is a birthday thing now.
It was too easy to get you back in too.
Um. If you back in too.
If you're in your 30s and you're looking to chat someone up at a bar, go with food storage
containers.
100%.
Get the party started.
It's a great icebreaker.
Shay, what sort of vessel do you transport your lunch to work in?
A middle lunchbox.
A middle lunchbox.
I like it.
See, that's cool. That's got cool girl vibes to me.
Can't go in the microwave though.
Shay, it's your birthday today. Congratulations. Happy birthday.
How old are you turning today, Shay?
Um, 16.
Oh my god.
Stop it. Amazing, Shay. That means you were 16 today.
And currently the number one song in the country is this
Lord what was that Shay? What do you reckon?
You are pretty good. Hell. Yeah
She's like as long as you guys stop talking about Tupperware.
I'm surprised she stayed on the line to be honest.
Ali's here, hi Ali.
Hi Ali.
Hello.
Do you love a bit of Tupperware chat, Ali?
Be honest.
Do you?
Nah, I must be too young.
That means you're young.
My mother is a Tupperware person, but not me. You're in your 20s aren't you Ali?
I am. See? Could tell straight away. Give us your exact birthday.
7th of November, 2002. Oh here we go Ali, you were 16 in 2018 and on your 16th this was number one.
And on your 16th, this was number one. Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.
Ariana Grande.
Thank you, next.
What do you reckon?
That's kind of good.
I used to love Ariana Grande's old songs.
Yeah, it's a vibe, I reckon.
That whole album was a vibe.
OK, way there, Ellie.
We're going to do one more.
Isabelle is going to do the Dared Matthews birthday banger. Hi Izzy. Hi Izzy. Hi. How old are you Izzy?
I'm 13. Okay so a few more years to wait before we can do your birthday banger.
Don't ask her the Tupperware question. Are you into Tupperware chat Izzy? Um. We'll move swiftly along.
We already figured it out.
Can you ask your dad if he likes a bit of Tupperware chat?
Do you like Tupperware?
Of course.
The formula is set. We know what we're doing.
I know a millennial when I hear one and Matthew is a millennial.
Hey Isabel, what is Matthew, your dad's birthday?

We are going in search for a name in a
haystack. It's the thousand dollar
jackpot today.
This is the one.
Like it's a nice round number.
If we can get someone today, they'll
get a grand and we will have done the
impossible, found a name in a haystack.
Also, speaking of impossible finds,
we are one step closer to finding the
world's first millennial.
I reckon we're going to do it.
I reckon we're actually going to find the first ever millennial to be born.
And I think they're a Kiwi.
It's Tuesday, which means it's time for
We call a random business and we select a random name.
If a person with that name picks up the phone,
we have found a name in a haystack and today that person will win a thousand dollars cash.
It is the hardest game ever in radio, harder than the secret sound. This has been going
for months and months and months. This is our 20th attempt at name in a haystack. And
it might be our last if we get
it right today. Phil and producer Pixie let's go to you first today. Are you picking the name or
the business? Okay. Sorry I missed you. Name or business? Business today. Business. Okay the
business and where are we calling? I wanted to go to my hometown of Christchurch and I felt an
adventure vibe so we're going the adventure center in Christchurch.
Is that like rock climbing and stuff?
Fun. Nice.
Claude, what extreme dude works
at the adventure center in Christchurch?
I think it's going to be an extreme lady.
Okay.
Named?
Laura's the first name that popped in my head, but.
Laura.
It doesn't feel right,
but I think I'm going to have to go for it.
Go with your gut. I had Charlie in my head. Charlie's cool.
You gotta go with your gut because if you go against your gut and then it is Laura you'll be
devastated. I'm gonna stick with Laura just because it popped in it came to me you know.
Just so you know if it's Charlie I'll be gutted. You get a point. You know what's good about Charlie? Boy or girl.
Exactly.
So true.
Please connect us to the Adventure Centre
in Christchurch, Claudia.
We're looking for Laura.
Today if Laura answers, she'll win $1,000 cash.
Good luck everybody.
Here we go.
RINGING
Adventure Centre in Clifton Climb, Kat speaking.
Oh.
Was that Kat, was it?
Yep. Hi Kat, it's Breanne, was that Kat, was it? Yep.
Hi Kat, it's Breanne Clinton here from ZM,
the radio station, how are you?
Good, thank you.
Good thanks.
Good thanks, you didn't ask me how I am.
Oh, that's extra embarrassing.
Kat, Kat.
Oh no, I wanna go home now.
I know.
Oh, and she hung up.
No!
Oh!
Oh, I'm so embarrassed!
The worst result possible.
Oh no!
Um...
That was our worst one yet.
It couldn't have been worse.
Even I want to go home.
We've never been hung up on before.
Not this early.
Hey guys, you can just take solace in the fact that you didn't say,
I'm good thanks.
On top of everything else that happened.
Oh, either way, I wasn't a name in a haystack.
So it doesn't matter how bad it went.
I think it's not Laura.
We got the vibe right, though.
Like, yeah, I feel like the vibe was right.
Yeah, cat definitely works at the adventure.
For sure. Park and crash it.
Do you reckon is it a rule that if they
if they do win and they hang up do they still get the prize? Oh that's a great question.
Oh! What is wrong with me? We'll try again next week for $1,050 in Brian Clint's name in a haystack.
I'm gonna put my head in the ground. The ZM Podcast Network.
The show currently on a quest to find the world's first millennial. We randomly
thought about this at lunch last week and we figured that the first millennial
would have been born on the 1st of January 1981, close to midnight, and
because New Zealand is one of the first countries in the world to see the New
Year there's a high probability that the world's first millennial was born here in New Zealand.
So now we're on a quest to find that person.
We've had a few good leads.
We talked to what we believe was the first millennial from Wales in the UK.
That's right. We talked to him.
It was yesterday. He was born at 12.16am in Wales.
Which would technically be like
middle of the day here. What was his name? Do you remember what his name was? His name was Mike.
Mike yeah Mike was awesome, lovely fella. He's our front runner but we have had another lead
haven't we? Where has this come from Claude? So yesterday while we were talking about it we got
a couple of texts from people saying hey I was born on that day at this time.
The person that I've lined up for you was born the earliest I could find off the text
machine.
Okay, could this be the very first millennial?
Welcome to the show Chris.
Hi Chris.
Hey guys, how are you?
We're good.
Thank you.
Can we just confirm Chris, what is your date of birth and time of birth?
So yeah born on the 1st of January 1981 at 10 past 12 in the morning. Oh
Yeah, pretty crazy. It could be you Chris. You beat our man from Wales by about 11 hours
cuz
quarter past 12 a.m. In Wales is
11 a.m. New Zealand time. Exactly. What hospital were you born in Chris?
Funny you say that I asked mum last night. I said where was I born? She said St. Helens apparently.
St. Helens? St. Helens yeah in Mount Albert I think it is. Okay so here in Auckland you could
very well be the first ever millennial in the world. I've got a little bit of a confession to make.
Basically back in the old days when I was born, they always had a photographer in your
room for the local paper with a bunch of flowers and they were standing at the end of mum's
bed while she's getting over and they got a call or somebody stuck their head in and
said, sorry guys somebody down the road just bit him.
So they walked out with the flowers and the photographer
and said all the best and on your way sort of thing.
Was it-
You're kidding me.
Was it for the first baby born each year?
Is that what they were doing?
Here in New Zealand, yeah, yeah.
You get your name in the Herald and your, you know,
photograph and all that sort of stuff, so.
So you know for a fact that there was a baby born
before you on the 1st of January 1981?
Apparently so. You got pipped at the post Chris.
I got pipped at the post yes.
God that is a great lead though from you Chris, we appreciate your honesty.
I don't mean to sound grim but it's been what 40 something years?
44 years.
No guarantee that other person's still alive.
Yeah.
They left the country straight away.
They could have left the country straight away.
You could have overtaken them.
They could have, yeah, you could have outlasted them.
Exactly.
Either way, we don't have their phone number,
we've got your phone number.
You're the front runner, Chris,
to be our first, world's first millennial.
Is that okay?
Oh, yeah, sounds awesome.
We're gonna do a ceremony, Chris,
and we're gonna crown you and give you a sash and maybe a voucher to a local pub. Awesome sounds
awesome. How bloody good. Could that be the world's first millennial? It could be Chris. Claudia how
are we looking? So I've been doing some digging behind the scenes just to see what I can find.
Me and internal affairs are best friends now. I asked if there's a way to tell what time the first baby was born so that we know how we're
tracking.
Apparently they don't keep that detail.
You don't need it for the birth record.
Oh, they don't keep time of birth?
No, they just keep the day.
So no one knows when...
Can you tell how many babies were born on the 1st of January, 1991?
Exactly the question that I've asked.
They haven't responded yet, but that is the next piece of information that I'm going to
get so we can figure out what kind of pool of people we're looking at. That's exactly the question that I've asked. They haven't responded yet, but that is the next piece of information that I'm gonna get.
So we can figure out what kind of pool of people
we're looking at.
I feel bad for Chris and for Chris's mum.
Imagine Chris's mum, she'd just done this amazing thing.
She's given birth to Chris and all the papers there
and they've got the flowers.
You can't show the poor woman the flowers.
And they're like, what's that?
Someone beat her?
All right, sorry guys,
someone beat you to it. You should have pushed a bit harder. You're old news lady. You know?
And then there's poor Chris's mum, the baby. And everyone's like, oh the baby's gift enough.
And she's like, nah I want the gifts. I almost got some flowers, I almost got them in the paper.
Yeah I want the flowers in my picture in the paper. Our text machine is open 9696 if you can beat Crest 10 past 12am on the 1st of January 1981.
We are trying to find the world's first millennial.
