The ZM Podcast Network. Hi everybody, welcome to the Brie and Clint Podcast, where based on our breathing, you're going to guess which one of us has COVID-19. Brie, you go first. I just took my puffer, how much better does it sound? Yeah, way better than it did before. Yeah, steroids for the win. If only we'd known about steroids three years ago,

we could have avoided this whole fucking nightmare, couldn't we? Steroids are crazy. Have you ever taken pregnazone for anything? Nah, nah, no real steroids I've taken. Oh, no, I have. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I have. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Pregnazone.

Do you guys call it pregnazone? Yeah, yeah. I mean, we don't want another Finergan-Fenagan situation. No, this is, I got prescribed it when I had my nose surgery. Oh, yeah. It forces your earways open, doesn't it? Essentially. Isn't that what it does?

It's exactly what it does. I always have some in my emergency kit in case I have an asthma attack because it's definitely, it has saved my life before that drug. Yeah. It is unreal. If you take it, like if you're having an asthma attack and if you can manage to get one of these pills down, it works within minutes.

Wow. Like minutes. What if the person having the asthma attack can't get it down? Do you put it up their butt? Is that what you do? Yeah, rectally. But it does, I mean, it up their butt? Is that what you do? Yeah, rectally. But it does, I mean, it takes a little bit longer to hit, but, you know. If you were having an asthma attack and your airway was closed

and you needed one of us to put a prednisone up your butt, who would you choose? Me, Ella, or Claudia? I'd probably just do it myself, hey? Oh, shit, good point, yeah. Yeah. Like, I mean, I'd probably just go, oh, I'm going to have to shelf this. I would choose Ella.

Why? To shelf it. To put it. To shelf him. To shelf me. To put it in my butt. To shelf. No.

Because you've got little hands. Tiny little fingers. That's true. I'm wearing dirty gloves doing that. But can she get it up far enough? Yeah, I don't think she could. It's going to be the challenge, eh? I think I'd choose whoever I thought had been through the most

trauma, because you're already going to, you know, it's going to fuck them up, so then it's just, you know, adding to the list. Whoever's the most grizzled by... Another thing on the fire. Claudia or Ella, have you ever taken that drug? I don't know what that is.

I only take the muscle enhancing ones. Oh, you like those steroids. You inject those ones in between the toes. Yeah, exactly. Oh my God. Make it quick. Oh no, this is too good of a story. I'll save it. You have to save it tomorrow. Everyone's got to go.

Girls have got to get to Harry Styles. Someone remind me, tomorrow on the podcast, Claudia, Ella or Clint, it involves steroids and a hearing aid. Oh, good prompt. What the heck? All right, tune in tomorrow, everybody. See you then. Bye.

I'm coming now. Well, howdy, pilgrims. Zed-Anne, Brie and Clint. G'day, everybody. ZM's Brie and Clint Good evening everybody, welcome to the Brie and Clint show Come in Brie, live from COVID isolation I am here, I am alive and well It's like 2020 all over again, Brie's broadcasting from home with the spicy cough Are you alright, how are you feeling? Um, look, oh yeah, nah, she'll be right mate, she'll be right from home with the spicy cough. Are you all right? How are you feeling?

Look, oh, yeah, nah, she'll be right, mate. She'll be right. Down day, isn't it? My wife's got it at the moment, too. Yeah, how's she going? She's on the up now. She's on day seven, and she sort of bounced back yesterday. But, like, monitoring your timeline,

I reckon yesterday and today are your, this is me diagnosing you, by the way. Yes, yes. I reckon these are your rough days. Tomorrow, you're good, mate. You hit a bloody Les Mills home gym rough days. Tomorrow, you're good, mate. You bloody had a bloody Les Mills home gym class on the TV, you know? I'll be back in the prime of life. Hey, I've got a bone to pick just randomly because I am at home.

So I have nothing better to do than think about these dumb things. Yes, I am immune to COVID. It's crazy. Oh, yeah, I know that. We're going to discuss that later in the show. But something else I want to talk about is I think I've come up with the most hit or miss fruit out there. Is it? Oh, yeah, okay, yeah.

What is it? What do you think it is off the top of your head? It's a peach. Oh, yeah, see, they're hit and miss too, aren't they? You've got like a three-day window where the peach is good, and as soon as it's too ripe or not ripe enough, it's garbage fruit. Yeah. You know what else?

Same with bananas. Same with bananas. I reckon your window in summer is even smaller. I reckon you've got a 36-hour window for a banana to be good before it goes too buttery. But the thing about a banana is most often than not, it tastes like a banana and it's not bad if you don't let it go too ripe. Whereas a freaking

mandarin is so hit or miss, it's ridiculous and I've had enough of them. How crap is a flavourless mandarin? It's the worst thing. Or how bad is a mandarin when there's a thousand seeds in it? All those stringy bits?

Nothing worse. Alright, let's get into it. All those stringy bits. Nothing worse. All right, let's get into it. I've been down to Harry Styles today, the Mount Smart Stadium where everybody is. We've got some audio from people who are waiting in the queue. I can't wait to bring you some Harry Styles fans later in the show. But we're going to kick things off with Tradie vs. Lady where the Tradies took the lead yesterday, Bree.

It's 18 games to 17. Oh, there we go. All right, well, ladies, there we go. All right. Well, ladies, there it is. The gauntlet has been thrown out. If you want to play, call now. 0800 dial ZM. Bree and Clint.

It's time for a round of Tradie versus Lady. Bree and Clint. Tradie versus Lady. The Tradies itching forward yesterday. They're sitting on 18 wins. They're in the lead. The ladies are sitting on 17. Let's cross live to Taupo where our lady is standing by.

She's 33 and she's a baby whisperer. Welcome to the show, Sam. G'day, Sam. Hi, guys. What makes you the baby whisperer? I'm pretty loud, weird, and crazy, basically. Is that what babies like?

Yeah. You're a clown, pretty much, Sam. I'm loud, weird, and crazy, and I couldn't keep my babies under control

at all, so you must have some other credential that we're not aware of. You're taking on our tradies today. They're calling in from Christchurch.

They're 25, and he delivered a baby in the backseat of his car last week. We're very baby focused today on Tradie vs Lady. Welcome to the show. It's Rocky. Rocky, tell us how, when, why? It wasn't a week ago. It was six weeks ago.

Okay. So she's six weeks and healthy. But yeah, the missus just wouldn't let me call the midwife. And the third or fourth scream, I rung her up and she was bloody nine centimetres dilated. So it was your baby you delivered? Yeah, yeah. Bloody oath in the back stages.

We got to the hospital car park. Yeah. Muzzle tough. We didn't get up. Yeah, well done. That's amazing. Good on you for stepping up in that situation. That's your dad credential straight away.

Congratulations on your six-week-old healthy baby. Thank you. All right, Rocky, your buzzer is tradie. Sam, yours is lady. First to three correct answers is leaving with $50 cash from KFC. Good luck. All right, guys, here we go. Question number one.

To get a perfect score in a game of ten-pin bowling, you need to score a total of 100, 200 or 300. Lady. Sam. Yes, Sam. 200. That's incorrect. Rocky, you want to guess?

300. Well done. It is the perfect 300. Nice work. One to the tradies. Question number two. Who is performing at Mount Smart Stadium tonight? Yes, Em. Harry Styles.

Well done. It is Harry Styles. On the money. The whole suburb of Penrose is awash with fake feather bowlers at the moment. Yeah, well done. Amazing. One point each in the game so far. Here comes question number three.

It's Census Day today. Yes, you can do it online, or if you've ordered the old school option, you can do it that way as well. To the closest million, what is the population of New Zealand? 20. Yes, Rocky. Five.

It is five million. Well, we'll see exactly how many it is after today. Yeah. Imagine if there's heaps more and this whole time the team of five million has been like a team of seven million or something. Yeah, that would be a rude awakening. Or less. Everyone's left.

That would be bad too. Okay, two to the tradies, one to the ladies. Question number four. Buzz in, guys, when you can tell me who sings this song. Just stop your crying. Lady. Sam. Sam.

Harry Styles? You've answered that already. You've already said Harry Styles, and that's correct again. Yeah. We're getting lazy for a Tuesday, guys, but that's it. That means we're all tied up. Here we go. This is for the win.

Question number five. Which of these is not a Spice Girl? Sporty, Feisty or Baby? Lady. Rocky was in there first. Sporty. Rocky. Sam, do you want to take that one out for us?

Feisty. Feisty is not a Spice Girl. She's a lady. Oh, oh, oh, she's a lady. Rocky's like Sporty Spice. What a stupid name for a Spice Girl. Jimmy wouldn't have a Sporty Girl. Yeah, pretty much.

That was it. Feisty Spice. All good, much. That was it. Feisty spice. All good, Rocky. Oh, I love it, Rocky. Congrats, Sam. You're the Tradiverse Lady Champion. Thank you. $70 from KFC coming your way.

We're talking about alternative engagement rings. Would you say that? Yeah, I think that's spot on the money. Story. We're assuming it's out of America where a woman has said that her now fiance gave her a traditional ring and she gifted him a new gun.

Well, don't assume, Bree, because we've received a text message that says, my mate bought himself a new shotgun on the way home from proposing to his girlfriend. I also bought myself a new shotgun after I got engaged. It's a true Southland tradition. Well, there you go. We should never assume, should we?

Do you get the shotgun engraved with, like, your anniversary or your wife's name? Do you name the gun after your wife? Is that what you do? Is that how it works? Do people name their guns? I think so, yeah. I don't know

what would you what would you if you didn't get a ring yeah what would you rather um uh great question probably something boring like a watch oh yeah like it's still kind of traditional yeah yeah yeah because i don't really wear yeah, yeah. Like a watch or a piece of jewellery. Because I don't really wear jewellery, but I wear a watch. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, if my wife's listening, I don't wear my wedding ring either. If you want to get me a watch, I'm more than open to the idea. You're open to the watch.

We're going to talk to Kate. Hi, Kate. Hi, Kate. Hi. Did you get engaged with something? Yeah, we can hear you. Did you get engaged with something other than a ring, Kate? Yes. I got a Tickle Me Elmo toy.

That is really random, Kate. I know, isn't it? Are you a big Tickle Me Elmo fan? Well, I was back then. This was 17 years ago. And it was a really quick decision and showed me the reasons that I wouldn't go into. But yeah, I just, I'm not a big jury person.

And he said, what do you want? And I said, a tickle meal. So you chose it, you did choose it. Yeah, I did. Yeah, it's a little bit embarrassing now, but I just had to bring and share that. I don't want to dump on you, but you could have aimed a little bit higher.

Yeah, I know, right? You could have at least gone for a Furby, you know? Something expensive. Something you can resell. Did you... Oh, it's all gone. Just got to check. Did you carry the Tickle Me Elmo down the aisle when you got married? No. No, I should have. That would have been

a good idea. But, yeah, no, I don't. How many carrots was the Tickle Me Elmo? Thanks, Kate. We appreciate the call. We're going to go to Amanda. Kia ora, Amanda. Hi, Amanda. Kia ora. We've seen your story. Yours is unique. What did you get instead

of an engagement ring? So I got like a wire bread bag tie. What? Yeah. What? That was the like twisty ring thing. So we were 30 metres underwater in Egypt and that was where he proposed.

And just before the dive he lost the temporary ring. So all he could find was the bread bag tie. Oh my God. Amanda, talk us through the proposal. It was underwater in Egypt? Yeah, it was in Daha and it was in like the canyon so it was real beautiful he's like

he wrote it on a slate and then showed it to me and it said will you marry me yeah so it was real it was real cool when we took our regulators off and had a kiss as well oh dangerous it was pretty scary yeah that's like some danger patch situation hey yeah i would have been like i'll kiss you when we get back to the top. Yeah, yeah, for sure. That is one of the most crazy proposal stories I've ever heard. Yeah. Yeah, it was pretty insane. It was awesome. He would have been pooing his wetsuit.

It's a nerve-wracking thing to propose anyway, but to do it that far down and then to lose the ring, oh, my God, his heart rate would have been through the roof. Yeah, yeah, and just before I gave the camera to the dive master and said, like, oh, no before I gave the camera to the dive master and said like, oh no, he gave the camera to the dive master and he was going to take a photo of us and he told him to press the wrong button. So he pressed the off button. No, you're kidding. What a disaster.

Stuff like that always happens, doesn't it? A few more texts coming through on this. Someone said, my cousin's now husband wanted a brand new Evo for proposing. All right. Set your sights a little bit more achievable, I think. So he's like, if I buy you this ring, you buy me a brand new Evo. I'm engaged. That is the deal. It's Harry Styles day.

I'm sorry if you're not in Auckland and not able to go to the show or you're like Bree and you've got COVID and you had a ticket to Harry Styles but you can't go because you're in isolation. I don't even want to talk about this. I am missing Harry. I'm so, I can't even. I'm so gutted. And you miss Lorde. And I can't, no, you can't even bring that one up to me because I cry.

I will cry because I miss the Lorde concert. And now back to back, Harry. Come on. And you're going to miss My Chemical Romance and Snoop Dogg this weekend. Oh, and the Backstreet Boys are on this weekend. Jeez, you might have picked the worst weekend ever to get COVID. Yeah, I think, I mean, you know, it is what it is. But I'm excited for

everyone else because I know how pumped people are to have Harry here and it's so exciting that he is here. Oh boy, are they pumped. I went down to Mount Smart Stadium at lunchtime with producer Ella just to talk to the people and get a vibe for what's going on. I really wanted to see the signs

that everybody had and see how well represented Aotearoa is going to be in the sign stakes when it comes to Harry. Because that's such a big part of the concert. That, the outfits, all of it, right? I mean, it is a sign of the time so I'm glad

you are the man on the ground with the people waiting for Harry. Was anyone there waiting for hours? The line was actually moving. I was expecting to see girls who were about to pee their pants because they've been sitting there since seven this morning because there were people there at seven this morning. But they were moving them into the stadium.

I think they had to get them into the shade. At 7 a.m. So they'd been waiting because I read an article today talking about how people had been waiting for 12 hours. Yeah, yeah. It's a long time. That's how, I mean, have you ever lined up for 12 hours? Hell no.

I've done it a couple of times in my life. I mean, that's a story for another day, but that's how I got piles the first time. And that UTI. That UTI. But hey, go for it, guys. If you love it that much, it is the memories,

waiting for 12 hours to see Harry. Great group of people waiting for the Harry Styles concert. Great outfits, great signs. Here's some of the people I met in the line today. Hi, I'm Clint. We're here in the line for Harry Styles

asking people to show us your sign. We've got a sign. What does yours say? Be my ball date. Okay, let's talk about this. You actually want Harry to take you to the ball? It's not realistic, but yeah. You have a sign? Sure do.

We want to see your sign. Can you pretty please play fine line with the cherry on top? It's going to say I forgot my sign. It says nothing. But that's okay. You come with a blank sign. Hey, don't bully me. Anybody got a sign they want to show us? Just tattoo of us.

You and thigh. You are tattooed on my thigh? Oh my God. Oh my God. Yeah, you win so far. It says Harry Styles is awesome and I love him and he's amazing. That says nothing. That's just a blank piece of cardboard.

You just have no imagination. Harry's going to be really disappointed at the lack of signs, guys. Oh, we've found some signs. Pose for me. That's for Harry, obviously. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Sleigh.

And what does your sign say? Harry, please reject me so I can move on. Are you here for closure? Yeah. That's the least he can do, right? That's the least he can do for me. Honestly, there are some very creative ones down there. And a lot of blank signs.

A lot of people sitting there with writer's block, hoping the idea will come to them. They just had cardboard and a vivid, and they were waiting for it. It's not like a thing that we're just not privy to because we're not young enough? Like, is it a thing? What, going with a blank sign? Yeah, like, it could be like a thing that we're just not privy to because we're not young enough. Like, is it a thing? What, going with a blank sign? Yeah, like it could be like a thing that the fans do.

No, because they all were saying to me, please tell me what to write on the sign. My favourite was, Harry, please reject me so I can move on. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's the best one. I hope he sees that one. Bree and Clint. Time to head to LA and get the latest with Dean McCarthy.

From iHeartRadio, this is The Latest. Live from LA with Dean McCarthy. Dean, has Pete Davidson been in a car crash? He has been in a car crash, but the headlines are much more dramatic than what actually happened. So Pete Davidson, SNL, Kim Kardashian X, the guy that can pull the best-looking women in all of Hollywood. None of us can still figure out why.

He and his new girlfriend, Chase Sue, Sue Wonders is her name, they were driving through Beverly Hills in his Mercedes-Benz at high speed and hit a curb. They were both, they've left the car without any injuries, but of course when you're Pete Davidson and there's paparazzi and you're in Beverly Hills, it is bound to make international headlines. They've actually been dating since December of last year. That has flown, because remember he was dating,

he's dating every hot person in Hollywood. So yeah, but they're okay. The good news, they're okay. The Mercedes-Benz, not okay. It's a bit Brittany, Lindsay, Paris of him to be speeding through LA in the Merc and having a car crash, isn't it? Is he all right?

Did they do a bloody breath test on him and things like that? Oh yeah, well, I don't, that's a good question. I don't know, but I it? Is he all right? Did they do a bloody breath test on him and things like that? Oh, yeah. Well, I don't. That's a good question. I don't know. But I tell you what, if they had and they found something, we'd already know about. I would suspect and bet money that they didn't find anything like that. I'll tell you what.

I knew it. I knew they were going to get something to revive this Fast and the Furious franchise. And I think Pete Davidson is on the money. Yeah, I can see that, actually. Good idea. Brian Clint, that's the latest live out of LA with our Hollywood correspondent, Dean McCarthy. Brian Clint. Clint, I thought we could play a bit of a game.

I've just come up with this game. This has come straight from my sick brain noggin, literally. Your what? Sick brain noggin? My sick brain. Oh. My sick brain.

Is this a virus idea? Yeah, yeah, pretty much. Well, I was, I had no, I had nothing else to say. If this idea is fully cooked, you can blame COVID. Exactly right. That's why I'm doing it.

You can do whatever you want right now. If you say the most racist, horrific shit on the show today, just blame COVID. Just blame COVID brain. It's fine. So we're going to get a pillowcase and we're going to fill it full of doorknobs.

No, I was scrolling Instagram because I had nothing better to do. And someone that listens to our show, shout out to Rhiannon, posted this meme that I thought was quite funny. And all the meme said was, normalise telling your friends I love you. Tell them a lot and make it weird. And I thought, that sounds like a radio game to me, Clint. Also quite a nice idea, especially for boys who definitely don't tell each other that they love each other enough. As I've got older in life,

my friends and I, we do now, but in your 20s, it's pretty toxic. Nothing hotter. Nothing hotter than boys telling their friends that I love you. I think it's the sweetest thing in the world. Okay. So here's how the game's going to work. You're going to call a friend and I'm going to call a friend.

Right. And you have to tell them that you love them as many times as you can, but it can't be obvious. So it can't just be like, you know, blatant. Oh, I've got to slip the I love you's in. Exactly right. So it has to be, you know, somewhat subtle. And here's the caveat.

If they don't say it back, you're automatically disqualified. And unloved. Okay, I know exactly who I'm going to call. Can I go first? You can go first. I'm calling one of my best friends. His unloved. Exactly. I know exactly who I'm going to call. Can I go first? You can go first. I'm calling one of my best friends. His name is Adam.

He was the best man at my wedding. And he knows that I love him. He knows. Piece of cake. Piece of cake. But is he willing to say it back with no explanation? Hello. Hello, Adam speaking.

Kia ora, Adam. It's Clint speaking. How can I help you? Just calling to catch up. Love you. Oh, love you too. That's nice to hear. How's your partner?

Has she recovered from COVID yet? Slowly but surely. It's kind of knocked her around a bit I'm glad you didn't get me I love you Is this some radio shit? Mate why is it always going to be radio shit? Why can't I just call my friend and tell them how much I love them? Because I know you

You've been outed Yes it is some radio shit But that doesn't change the fact that I do love you I love you too do love you. I love you too. I love you all. Thank you very much. Yes!

All right, well, you get back to work. Thank you. I don't think he loves me. I don't think he loves me anymore. How many? How many was that? I'll give you three. I got three? We're going three, Claudia?

Yep, three. Okay, three. Who are we going to call for me? I'm going to call a really good friend of mine, Rach, who used to produce a radio show before I moved to New Zealand, the radio show that I was on. Okay. And it was her birthday yesterday.

Did you tell her you loved her on her birthday? No, but I feel like I can get it in there. Ah, delayed I love you. Okay, good luck. That is Rachel. Hey, Rach. love you. Okay, good luck. Hello, this is Rachel. Hey, Rach. It's Brie. How are you?

I'm good. How are you? Oh, mate, miss you. Love you. Miss you. Love you. I just thought, I know I sent you a message yesterday for your birthday, but I just wanted to call you and just tell you that I love you so much.

I don't trust you. What are you doing? You only got to one I love you before you got to... I got one I love you back. That was it. Right, she's using and abusing your love for a stupid radio game. How does that make you feel? This is about normal.

Yep, great. But I still love you, though. I mean it when I say it. And I know you do, and I love you, too. No, don't give it to her now. Oh, that's two. Say it one more time. I love you, too.

Yes! It's a tie. It's a tie. It's a tie. Everybody is loved. Hey, thanks for playing, Rach. Love you. Love you.

Love you, Claire. Bye. Love you, Claire. Bye. Give it a tie. It's a tie. Everybody is loved. Hey, thanks for playing, Rach. Love you. Love you. Love you, Clint. Bye. Love you, Clint. Bye. Give it a go. Love that game. Give it a go at home. See how many people love you.

I mean, shame if no one sees it back, but don't blame us, you know? Free and Clint. Clint, you've DJed a few weddings, haven't you? Yeah, quite a few. You know, mostly as favours to friends, and you love it, don't you? I did a wedding the other week. It wasn't a favour, it was to some people that I didn't know. I know them now, great people. Ended up

full DMB rave. Really? I've never been in that situation before. It's usually just bloody single ladies and B-52's love shack. Robbie Williams, you know, the classics. One of the guests comes up and goes, bro, put on some drum and bass and this shit is going to go crazy.

And I was like, you know what? Let's take a risk. I put it on. Full rave. Really? Yeah, it was quite incredible. See, that's a good time. That's good memories.

One wedding I don't think is going to have the best memories is from this one. This is what these people said. Nothing out of the ordinary from the wedding that we attended as guests last night except for when everyone was dancing and the DJ stopped the mainstream popular songs and debuted his world single. His own music.

Wait, it keeps going. It was god awful. Completely changed the tone of the flow for the people who were dancing. And we had to listen to it for close to four minutes. I'm pretty sure the DJ saw the visible reaction from the crowd as he went right back into playing Pitbull. Yeah. Once his trash song finished.

It is such a risk playing anything new at a wedding. It's all about familiarity. It's a risk playing anything new anytime. Yeah, correct. Let alone your own song. Someone's like, hey, who is this song? And you're like, oh, glad you asked. It's me

Follow me on Spotify Can you imagine I can just imagine What the song sounded like Yeah It would have been like You know Probably some hardcore

Dance track or something For sure Do you reckon he was doing Live vocals Do you reckon he took The microphone and he was Doing like It's Saturday night

Wedding's alright! Put your hands up! Put your hands up! Oh my God! There's just some things that you don't do in that situation. There's songs that should be out of bounds when it comes to wedding receptions as well.

This got me thinking, Clint, because I thought we could do something a bit fun this afternoon where we could put together a playlist of songs that definitely shouldn't be played at a wedding. Yeah. Love it. You got any thought starters for us? Get the ball rolling.

Look, this is a real throwback. Do you remember the band Three Days Grace? Yeah, vaguely. Yeah. Vaguely? Mm-hmm. Well, you're gonna remember this song from them.

I hate everything about you. Why do I love you? I mean, lyrical content aside, this is a bad song to play at a wedding.

That's the point. That's the point. That is the point. It's an all-round horrific choice. It's an all-round stinker. Horrific choice. Then we move into the hip-hop realm, and this is another one that's an all-round bad choice, this artist. Kanye's kind of cancelled anyway.

Exactly. So that's one reason not to play it. But I will disagree with you because this song does go off at a wedding. Okay. It goes off. What if there's murmurs of someone at the wedding potentially being a gold digger? Would you still play it? Even more

so. Yeah, even more so because I'd plead ignorance, but I'd just like to see the drama ripple through. You're a stirrer. You're a stirrer. As long as it wasn't the bride, who cares? Yeah, that's what I mean. I was thinking this would be a bit of a dud to play at a wedding.

Oh, banger. Yeah, banger, but the connotations aren't ideal. Unless, of course, they are that kind of couple, you know? Yeah. Which I mean... Real fighty-pashy. Could work, could not. What about the classic from U2? Options open.

I mean, it sends a good message to everyone else at the wedding. Yeah. Again, the song is fine, so long as the groom isn't up on the dance floor belting out the lyrics. Everybody else, because the weddings are very single people focused as well. You know, you've got the bouquet toss,

you've got groomsmen trying to hook up with bridesmaids. So long as no one in the wedding, the actual marriage is out there singing that song, you'll be okay. It's a good point. Can you imagine the groom gets real drunk? Put on that U2 song. Put it on, DJ.

I said put it on. What if the bride requests this Carrie Underwood song? I dug my key into the side of this pretty little soup just for a real drive. What's the name of this song, Greg? Banger. Before He Cheats. Before He Cheats. Before He Cheats.

I think it's not a bad choice. It's a good message to not only the new groom, but every other lad in the building. Let's put a list together of the worst songs that could possibly be played at a wedding. That's what we're going to do? Yeah. 0800 dial ZM or you can text them through on 9696.

What's a bad song to play at a wedding? Maybe you heard it at a wedding and you were like, ugh. Not a good choice. This is a go, all right, though. Brie and Clint. ZM, Brie and Clint, Kiwi Girl, Kaylee Bell, that's called Boots and All. That'd go alright at a wedding.

That would go off at a wedding. That'd be a great song to play at the reception. But we're not looking for good songs to play at the reception of weddings. We're looking for bad ones. I haven't thought about this song in like 15 years. But you remember it straight away when you hear it, eh? Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's burnt in.

We're trying to put together the worst wedding playlist of all time. Michelle wants to contribute. Kia ora, Michelle. Hi, Michelle. Kia ora. Kia ora. Tell us, mate. Tell us, Michelle. What do you think would be a horrible song to play at a wedding?

Shaggy, It Wasn't Me. Yes, Michelle. Have you been in this situation, Michelle? Have you? I was a waitstaff at a wedding up at Skyline, Queenstown. Oh, yep. Pitch in hand, a wedding was happening

in the background and the father told the bride that he shouldn't marry his daughter because he had slept with the bridesmaid the night before. The song was playing in the kitchen as this was

all playing out. Oh my God. What are the chances? That this song was playing in the kitchen as this was all playing out. Oh, my God. What are the chances? What? I think it was when the DJ heard that conversation and he was just like, abracadabra. This one goes out to the new lovers. Awkward turtle.

Thank you, Michelle. We appreciate the call. Tony's on the line. Kia ora, Tony. Hi, Tony. you, Michelle. We appreciate the call. Tony's on the line. Kia ora, Tony. Hi, Tony. Hi there. Tony, you think you've got the song that you should never play at a wedding? For the slow dance, it definitely shouldn't be,

and not the only one by Sam Smith. Oh. It's such a beautiful song, but if you listen to the lyrics, not the time. It's terribly tragic if that was your wedding song. It would be. And some people don't listen to the lyrics. Some people just go off the sound of the song, you know? So I reckon that might have actually happened before.

Yeah, probably, probably. Good one, Tony. Mo's here. G'day, Mo. Hello, Mo. Hello, mate. Hello. Tell us, mate. Mo's here. G'day, Mo. Hello, Mo. Hello. Tell us, mate. Mo, what's the song, Should Never Play at a Wedding?

Well, I had two, but one of them was You Give Love a Bad Name by Bon Jovi. Banger! Did you know, Mo, I had a flat-out Bon Jovi band at my wedding? No Bon Jovi songs allowed whatsoever. I'm not surprised. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's never regretted any decision more in his life, Mo. No, no, no.

He now looks back at that and goes, what was I thinking? The one day where I'm in charge is a Bon Jovi free zone. What was the other one, Mo? It was Fake Love by Drake. Oh, Fake Love by Drake. Oh, yeah. That's not a good song to play at a wedding. A few other texts coming through.

Someone said, I don't want to be in love. Oh, Good Charlotte? Is that good? Good Charlotte? Is that good? Good Charlotte? Yeah, not the vibe, is it? Great song, not the vibe. Panic at the Disco? The line where it goes, What a shame the poor groom's bride is a...

Oh, yeah, no. That's a definite no for the wedding. Someone else said Suspicious Minds. One of my mum's all-time favourite songs. And if she requests this, if I ever have a wedding, I will take her down. Come on, Brianna, it's a great song I just wouldn't have a bit of a boogie on the dance floor. This song really gets

your father going. Come on Brianna, it's not all about you today. We've been having a bit of fun recently looking at big songs that were originally meant for other artists. They were either written by that artist and in some instances recorded by them. And at the last minute they've gone, eh, no, it's not for me. Or the producer has just auditioned other big stars to sing the song and it just hasn't quite worked out.

We talked earlier about how Avril Lavigne wrote Kelly Clarkson's Breakaway. For herself and at the last minute bailed on it briefly. Yeah, and fully recorded it and finally said, nah, it's too soppy for my album. She ended up releasing it on the 20th anniversary of that album. So it's out there now. And you told us about the Ariana Grande song. Yeah, so Ariana Grande, God Is A Woman, I mean, iconic song from her, huge.

Originally, Camila Cabello recorded it. It's like parallel universe stuff, eh? Weird, eh? Because you know these songs so well. Yeah, well let me take you back to 2016 and the collab between Calvin Harris and Rihanna. This is one of, I'm going to say, arguably Rihanna's biggest songs. It is her most streamed song ever on Spotify.

It's huge. It's huge. Well, this song was written by and for Taylor Swift. Wait a second. Taylor Swift wrote that song? She wrote that song. If you remember in 2016, her and Calvin Harris were an item. They were dating.

Yes, of course. Remember how the world was just Calvin and Taylor obsessed? They were such a hot couple. They were the it thing. And it kind of just fizzled out. Oh no, she left him for Benedict Cumberbatch. Who's the other one?

I was going to say, when did Taylor date Benedict Cumberbatchatch who's the other one i was gonna say when did taylor date benedict cumberbatch who's the other guy not benedict um the other guy who's loki tom hiddleston tom hiddleston that's right and it was a big scandal i'm getting my white british guys confused wasn't it hugh grant no i think it was hugh grant Was it Harry Styles? So they're dating. Taylor writes that song, This Is What You Came For, plays it to Calvin, and he's like, it's a banger. He puts the beat together. And then very wisely, Taylor realized that if they were to release a song together, it would be more about their relationship than it would be about the song.

It would just be a thing, and they'd be like, oh, my God, it's their dating song. When actually the song had nothing to do with him. She wrote the song independently and just happened to be dating him and he was the producer du jour of the time. So she said, no, no, no, we need to get somebody else on the song. She even hid her name from the writing credits. She went under a fake name in the writing credits so that nobody knew

she had anything to do with that song. Yeah, see, that's going to big lengths. Please tell me that there is a recording of it. There is a recording of it. Yes. The demo exists. Taylor recorded the vocal into her iPhone. Kelvin produced the beat.

After they broke up, it all got leaked out. So we're able to listen to it. This is so exciting. So you know the original. We all know it so well. I don't know if it can be topped. Bear in mind what you're going to hear is a demo. It's not the finished product.

True. But if this was a Taylor Swift song, it would sound like this. Oh, I like it. Isn't that completely different? It's so different to a Taylor Swift song, though, isn like it. Isn't that completely, it's so different to a Taylor Swift song though, isn't it? Yeah, it's so drastically different from anything she's ever released, but it could have taken her to a different realm, you know? I always wonder in relationships like that, if there are other songs that exist that they worked on together.

Of course there would be. There's an entire Calvin Harris Rita Ora album that we will never hear. He recorded and produced her entire album, and then when they broke up, he binned the whole thing, and the world will never get to hear that. So that sort of thing, they could have Taylor Swift songs as well. That could be in there. Could have been one of the greatest albums ever.

We'll never get to hear it. And to be honest, like that Taylor Swift version of that song, I think you could literally put anything on that song, it would sound good. Anyone singing on that song, it would sound good. You or me? I smell a Friday. Within reason.

That's it, we're doing this song next week. Bree and Clint. Time for a birthday banger. It's my birthday. It's my birthday. Bree and Clint's birthday banger. Ready? I'm going to try and simplify this.

Three people. Birthdays. Number one songs on their 16th. We play our favorite song in full. I don't know if you're a simplifier. I think you just. No, it's the cliff notes. I think you made the sentence real clunky.

So don't show up at 8.40 and he's already been on for 20 minutes and blame us. Yeah, see, that I'd be ropeable at. So don't listen to anything we say.

Go with the time you think is the right time. Don't listen to anything we say ever. I went down there at lunchtime and the buzz was electric. Go with the time you think is the right time. Don't listen to anything we say ever. I went down there at lunchtime and the buzz was electric. People were so happy and excited. A little bit sunburned and just chomping at the bit to get into the Harry Styles show. I hope those people that were there in the midday sun haven't faded by now. Because you know what it's like a long day standing out there.

You don't want to drink too much water because you're not sure if you can leave the line to go for a week oh that's so true it's such a delicate line to to balance isn't it how gutted would you be if you got sunstroke and had to go home before harry went on you know i would be so sad i told you about that time me and my friend we waited in line for like 10 hours to see Ellie Goulding to get Barrier. Yeah. And we got Barrier and then she felt real sick and I was like, spew over the Barrier. We ain't leaving.

Go home, Justine. I'm not leaving. I went down to check out the signs that people had before they were heading into the Harry Styles gig. Here's some of the people. We're here in the line for Harry Styles asking people to show us your sign. Can you read your sign out for us? Play fine line and I'll cut my hair for cancer.

Oh my God. What a huge commitment. Yes, I know. But if he doesn't play fine line. He doesn't like kids. Get f***ed, cancer. We've found Mount Smart's leading Harry Styles impersonator. What Harry songs do you know?

All of them. Actually, don't test me on that. Don't test me. Okay, I want the opening line to Sign of the Times. Just stop your crying, it's a sign of the times. When in doubt, cut to the chorus. Yeah, exactly. Hello, ma'am.

Can you please state your name? Nicole. Nicole. And could you read your sign for us? Harry nipped out for New Zealand. His or yours? His. Okay, right.

Anybody else rocking a good Harry-style sign that they want to show us? Hi, what's your name? Skye. Skye, what does your sign say? Medicine, pretty please. Now, is this like a request for medication or is it a song request? A song request. Right, good, okay.

Okay, we've got a winner for most inappropriate sign of the day. What's your name? My name is Lindsay. And Lindsay, what does your sign say? My sign says I call my vibrator Harry. He's going to love it. Hopefully he's going to talk to me. That's the plan.

Lindsay was a hot mess, honestly. He's going to love it. Hopefully he's going to talk to me. That's the plan. Lindsay was a hot mess, honestly. He's going to love it. You know what's... That's so, so funny. Lindsay goes, I've got three more signs in my bag, but I'm not showing you. That's so rude. You know what's so devastating to me

is that I was meant to be going tonight and obviously I've got the spicy cough. I can't go. Yeah. And it's so weird because I had such a similar sign to one of the girls in that clip. Oh yeah, which one? Mine was going to say, Harry,

share your Xannies with me. Oh, Jesus Christ. Your Xanax. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Is he on the Xannies, is he? I don't know. Worth a try. Whatever you're getting up to tonight, enjoy the Harry Styles show. We can't wait to see your pictures on Instagram tomorrow. And that video of everyone down at Harry Styles will be up on our Instagram soon too.

If you are trying to hit 10,000 steps a day to stay healthy, you are wasting your time. I knew this. I've known this for a long time. You do. I feel like, can I guess? Yeah, you don't need to be doing 10,000 steps. No, and then there was like that other myth where they said 8,000. I read somewhere that it's around six to seven.

You're spot on, actually. Six to 8,000 steps is the sweet spot for avoiding chronic illness. The 10,000 number, turns out, was made up by people who were promoting the world's first step counter ahead of the 1964 Tokyo Olympics. Yeah. Really? And I wonder if people walked more in 1964. You know, there were no lime scooters back then.

Yeah. I mean, what's the point, though, for a pedometer company to make people want to do more steps? It's not like you can wear out your pedometer quicker, is it? Yeah, I get what you mean. But I guess it creates a, I don't know, maybe you look at it more or you use it more. I don't know. It's a really good point. They should have made an achievable number so people felt good about their pedometer.

Exactly. Yeah. They're like, oh, 3,000 steps. I can do that. Some other health myths that we're going to debunk today. The five plus a day thing. Five fresh servings of fruit and vegetable. Wrong.

Oh, yes. Wrong. Oh, it's not more, is it? It's more. You need seven to ten. Oh. To get the vitamins, nutrients, and fiber that your body needs, you should be having seven to ten servings of fresh fruit and veggies a day.

That's a lot. But you know what people don't... Yeah, it is a lot, but you know what people don't realise is that, I mean, fresh is such a loose term. Like, fresh potatoes are in hash browns, and if you eat those, that's one serve. That's not fresh, those are frozen. Not if you make them from scratch. He's making them from scratch. It's after six o'clock. I've had no servings of fruit and veggies today.

I need to have seven to ten fruits or vegetables for dinner tonight if I'm going to hit my numbers. Jeez, you're going to have a very healthy meal. And can I just say I had a mandarin earlier this afternoon. And if they want to be up there on the seven to ten, then don't be so average, Mandarin.

They're too small to be serving a Mandarin. Such an average fruit. Surely they're too small. Hit or miss. What's better than eating a Mandarin? I nearly said it too. Eating a whole orange. More vitamin C, Bree.

Jeez, where were you going with that? I was going to say pineapple. This is for all the Frank Green drink bottle users. Two litres of water a day. That's what you're told, eh? Two litres or eight glasses of water a day. Myth. Myth.

Depends on your amount of exercise you're doing, the climate that you live in. It depends on so many different things. And this one's really ambiguous. You need anywhere between one and eight litres of water a day. That is very different, like drastically different. But do you remember that article we talked about on the show one time that this is an actual thing?

You don't realise some of the water intake. Like if you're drinking a cup of tea in the morning, that water in that tea counts towards your daily water intake. Beer? Yeah. Vodka soda? Soda. Yeah, it does.

It actually does. Eight glasses. Yeah, that's actually true. Yeah, we're going to end on that one. The official advice from the Ministry of Health is eight glasses of vodka soda a day. Responsibly. And you're good to go, yeah. Yeah.

Just space them out. Have a couple of them with breakfast. It's the end of the show, everybody. If you're in your car on the way to Harry Styles at the moment, good luck. Good luck. Have the best time. Make all the memories you can. And please don't tag me in any of the videos

because I will get upset. Bree's meant to be there, but she's homesick and she can't go, so gutted. Gutted. He'll be back. Don't worry. He'll be back. He comes here once every five years. Great.

I can't wait to see him when I'm even way too old. I'm already too old, and five years from now, great. Enjoyed it, you're going. It won't just be sit down tall girl. It'll be sit down old woman. Sit down old woman. Have the best time. Sorry if you're not going like us.

We're not going either, so don't worry. You're not alone. Got it. We'll catch you guys back tomorrow on the Brian Clint Show. See ya. Bye, guys. Play. ZM's Brian Clint.
