Starting point is 00:00:00 For a few years in the 1970s, the Mr. Asia syndicate made millions. Heroin creates its own market. It acts like a form of plague.

Tonight, we are going to witness the most anticipated show in the history of professional radio. ZM, Brie and Clint. Radio.
Starting point is 00:00:46 ZM, Brie and Clint. Tala balaba, everybody, and welcome to the Brie and Clint post-election dissection special where we will go through state by state the votes that came in yesterday and figure out what happened. Yeah, to be honest, I don't want to really talk politics today. I don't really want to talk about the election because it just makes me sad, to be honest. Like we would do that anyway. Makes me real sad. Well, we will have Jack Tame on, maybe. I'm real interested to talk to Jack
Starting point is 00:01:13 because last night he was at Kamala's party, which never happened. So he was standing outside. They put a reporter at each of them just in case to see which one wins. Jack Tame, I think, has consistently been positioned at the losing party. I don't think Jack Tame has ever been sent to cover the winning party. He's a jinx.
Starting point is 00:01:33 He could be. Could just be. So we'll get him on the show live from wherever he is. He'll be in Washington still. About 3.45 this afternoon. Also on the show, are we doing What's the Plot today? Is it happening? Because it's a
Starting point is 00:01:49 Thursday. I feel like it should be happening today. I think there's $200 up for grabs. Oh good, then yes, definitely we'll do that. $200. Also $50 up for grabs right here, right now with Tradie versus Lady. If you want it, you need to call now on 0800-DIALS-AT-M.

Whichever one happens, it's up to you guys. So if you're keen to play, call us now. It's Tradie versus Lady. The Tradies had a good win yesterday, versus ladies. Three, two, one, let's go.

Starting point is 00:04:11 How many taste buds does the average human have? Is it 2,000, 10,000 or infinite? Tradies. Yes, Chris. I'm going to go with 10,000. 10,000 is correct. That's a lot of taste buds. All right, one to the tradies.
Starting point is 00:04:28 Question number three. Buzz in when you can tell me who sings this song. Lady. Yes, Danielle and Lila. Is it Matt Clamore? It is Matt Clamore. Nice. Well done. You've evened the score. Is it Matt Clamore? It is Matt Clamore. Nice. Well done.

Starting point is 00:05:59 Chris? Oh, shit, that was my answer too. Yeah, he's allergic to bees. Don't traumatise him. Yeah. I swear this question was already in it before we heard your fun fact. It's actually nectar. Who knew?
Starting point is 00:06:13 And then they spew it back up to create honey. All right, this is for the win. This is for the win. Question number seven. What are the two main colours that make up the Canadian flag? Ladies. Danielle just got in. Is it red and white?
Starting point is 00:06:28 She's got it. She's a lady. Oh, oh, oh, she's a lady. It was a tight old game. Both played very well. But Danielle and Lila, you've come out on top. Thank you. Bree and Clint.
Starting point is 00:06:43 Before the show, Clint was saying how, you know, there was a lot of people at your wedding that you wouldn't want there. You know, you didn't want to invite them, but you had to. Oh, crap, I said that. Just because you didn't get invited. Yeah, but you also said there was a lot of people you wanted there that you didn't invite. Oh, yeah, I forgot I said that.
Starting point is 00:07:02 Yeah, yeah, yeah. I feel like every wedding, though, and be honest, there's always people there that you invite them because your parents are like, you need to invite these people. I think every wedding has some must invites. There's the must invites. Yeah, yeah. The obligatory invites.
Starting point is 00:07:20 Exactly. Every wedding's got them. Except for those real cool people who just like elope or they do like a barbecue wedding or some people just have the balls to just go. Exactly. Every wedding's got them. Except for those real cool people who just like elope or they do like a barbecue wedding or some people just have the balls to just go, no, it's just my friends. It's my wedding. It's just my friends. I don't want your friend
Starting point is 00:07:33 that you catch up with every three months for a bit of a game of bridge to come to my wedding. I don't like that uncle. I don't want that uncle to come. That's so interesting. My brother was a bit like that. Some uncles and aunt want that uncle to come. Yeah, it's so interesting, eh? My brother was a bit like that. Some uncles and aunties, he was like, yeah, and others, he was like.
Starting point is 00:07:49 Your brother was a bit ruthless? Little bit. Good on him. He came around, though, eventually, because it would make my parents happy. So he wanted to make them happy. But anyway. Your wedding is a great opportunity to make your parents happy. But it shouldn't be the overarching.
Starting point is 00:08:06 Is that what it's about, though? No, it shouldn't be the overarching objective of the day. You know? You and your partner. It's better to keep the peace I guess. There's a story that I read that's quite interesting where a dad is throwing his toys because
Starting point is 00:08:20 he's saying that he's gonna ruin his daughter's wedding unless she changes her mind about someone that she didn't invite. Oh, about a not invited person? Yes. Okay, who does dad roll there? So the story goes she's getting married and her mum and dad are divorced. Right.
Starting point is 00:08:40 And she said in the story that recently they've both started dating. I think they got divorced ages ago, but recently in the lead up to this wedding, they both started dating new people. Her parents are dating new people. Yeah, both of them are dating new people, but she hasn't known them very long because they've just started dating these people.
Starting point is 00:09:00 And anyway, she says that the wedding is super small, like 20 people, like really small. 20 people? Yeah. And anyway, she says that the wedding is super small, like 20 people. Yeah. Like really small. 20 people? Yeah. They're just having, she's literally just having family and a couple of friends. Okay.
Starting point is 00:09:14 That's it. To cut down costs. She explained to her mum and dad, hey, it's super, super small. I just want family or people I've known my whole life like my best friends there. I'm not inviting your boyfriend and your girlfriend. Is that okay? Also I reckon she's gone. I don't want any drama. I don't want mum
Starting point is 00:09:35 to kick off with dad's new girlfriend or dad to kick off with mum's new boyfriend. Just keep them out. Just keep them out. I also get it though because if it's that small I don't want this person who my dad's been dating for six months to come to the wedding. No, and you don't want your wedding to be the event where they debut their new partner.
Starting point is 00:09:52 Nah. Nah. Anyway, the mum has turned around and said, totally fine, completely understand. Yeah. And the dad has said, and I quote his words, how dare you? I will not be coming to the wedding.
Starting point is 00:10:07 I will choose my girlfriend over you every time. And if she's not allowed to come to the wedding, then you can count me out as well. Cool dad. Cool man. You're awesome. Cool dad. Cool reaction from a cool dad.
Starting point is 00:10:20 He also went on to say that he would stop her grandmother from coming as well because he, like, looks after the grandmother and she needs him to get around and he will not allow the grandmother to come as well. What a D-bag. What an a-hole, eh? Yeah. I can see why the parents got divorced. Well, yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:41 That's so crappy. Mm. Not cool. Um, don't have dad there. Don't have dad there. Way to make it about you, dad. Yeah cool Don't have dad there Way to make it about you dad Yeah don't have dad there No but then she's worried That her grandma won't come
Starting point is 00:10:51 Who she's super close with Well then get into grandma first Go hey I'm gonna Uninvite dad He's a dick You agree And grandma will go He's such a dick
Starting point is 00:10:58 And then grandma will come Sweet I'll send an Uber To the rest home To pick you up for the wedding I'm gonna tell him The wedding's on this day It's actually on this day I'll book a limo For your grandma to pick you up for the wedding. Yep. I'm going to tell him the wedding's on this day. It's actually on this day.
Starting point is 00:11:09 I'll book a limo for your grandma and he can stay at home with his new girlfriend. Should we ask people who you had to invite to your wedding? Who's the person that you... Who's the person you really didn't want there? You didn't really want them there. But your mum said you had to invite them. Or your partner said you had to invite them. Or you just felt obligated to have them there. Maybe it was your loser cousin.
Starting point is 00:11:24 Loser cousins. Who always gets way too drunk at family events and then makes a scene. Maybe it's your ex. And like, oh, you guys, maybe you guys have got to get together. The ex? Yeah, maybe you've got to get together. Oh, okay. You had to do it.
Starting point is 00:11:38 That sucks. You don't have to invite them to the wedding, do you? And then they wanted to bring a plus one. And they brought their new partner to your wedding. And then you had to tell everybody who they were. I don't know. Share it with us. 0800 dials at M or text your story to 9696.
Starting point is 00:11:52 We want to know, who did you invite to the wedding only because you had to? Who did you have to invite to the wedding for whatever reason, but you didn't really want them there? You got guilt tripped. Maybe they paid for the wedding.
Starting point is 00:12:06 Maybe you don't get on with your dad, but he's like, I'll give you 50 grand. And you're like, oh, right, Dad. What about this one? My mother-in-law refused to come to our wedding unless we invited all of her brothers and sisters. She's one of seven. We caved and invited them all plus their spouses.
Starting point is 00:12:24 Goodbye, small wedding. What a power move. Oh, she sounds horrible. Yeah. I refuse. You'll feel so icky that you caved to that as well. But you just don't want any drama. No, you don't want any drama.
Starting point is 00:12:39 Oh, she sounds yuck. Michelle is here. Hi, Michelle. Hi, Michelle. Hi. Who was the person you invited to the wedding because you kind of had to? Four, three sets of great aunts and uncles on one side. Three sets of great aunts and uncles on your side or your partner's side?
Starting point is 00:12:57 Partner's side. Wait, so not even like their uncles and aunties, their great uncles and aunties? Yeah. How was that and aunties. Yeah. How was that many still alive? Yeah. I have no idea. They weren't young. Was it a cultural thing?
Starting point is 00:13:12 Like big family, big wedding kind of thing? Or your partner just doesn't know how to say no? No. Well, my family comes, I've got a big family, an extended family, and they don't. So to pan it out, to make it even. Oh.
Starting point is 00:13:24 So they went wide to try and fill up their side of the aisle. Yeah. Oh, that's so weird. Who cares? What, so you invite all these long-distance uncles and aunties? Great Auntie Glenda from the rest home to bulk out our side of the room. Wheel them in. Random. You guys would be close now though.
Starting point is 00:13:47 You and the great uncles and aunties, you'd be hanging out every weekend, wouldn't you now that you've shared a wedding? I think I've only seen two of them since. That was almost 10 years ago. Caught up for a game of canasta. Thanks, Michelle. Someone texted and said,
Starting point is 00:14:01 we had to invite my sister's new boyfriend at the time. He's an effing dickhead. They just got divorced, thank goodness. Oh, yeah. I wonder how, when they say new, I wonder how new. But then they went on to get married. Yeah. Someone else said,
Starting point is 00:14:17 I had to let my daughter invite my ex-husband's partner. Are they on the line, are they? That's Sally. Oh, no, Sally. Hi, Sally. Hi. Tell us the story behind this.
Starting point is 00:14:30 So your ex-husband's new partner. Well, not new. So my husband and I split because my best friend slept with him. Scandal. Okay. What? You've got our attention Sally Wait, that's not the partner that had to be invited to the wedding
Starting point is 00:14:47 Yeah, so I still got on well with my partner Because I was always very much aware that it's all about the kids And making a life good for the kids Yes, good for you So then my daughter got married four years ago now And she rang me and said Oh, you know, Dad wants to bring, I won't say the person's name How do you feel about that? No! I said, well, I know, Dad wants to bring, I won't say the person's name. How do you feel about that?
Starting point is 00:15:05 No. I said, well, I don't feel very good about it. And she said, oh, I don't want you to make a scene. And I said, I won't make a scene. So I was very good and I was calm. I said, look, sweetheart, it's your wedding and I don't want anything to spoil it. And if your dad's not going to come unless his partner comes in, that's fine. But this is the kicker.
Starting point is 00:15:25 Yeah, okay. What, there's more, Sally? There's more. So the kicker is when we were all heading off to the wedding because where we were all staying was a little bit away from the venue. And my ex went towards my husband because they were giving my daughter away. And I ended up having to take her in my vehicle to the wedding. You had to take your ex-best friend that stole your husband.
Starting point is 00:15:51 You had to carpool. You had to transport her to your daughter's wedding. Yes, yes. And then she started reminiscing about the old days. Oh, Sally. You know what, Sally? You sound like an absolute saint Who puts everyone else around her first And your ex-husband sounds like a real D-unit
Starting point is 00:16:09 You're the definition of the bigger person Sally Well it had to be It's all about the kids mate Listen to him Oh I'm not going to come unless my partner can come The one that I stole from my wife Who was her best friend What an idiot
Starting point is 00:16:23 It was a reminiscing about the old days that got me. Really? Really think I want to talk about that. The good old days, eh, Sally? You should have just been like, can you please not look me in the eye? Brian Clint, next on the show, we're going to cross live to the States.
Starting point is 00:16:36 Jack Tame covered the election from top to bottom yesterday. What is the mood like over there today? And what's the goss? We'll get Jack Tame from TVNZ on the show next. Bree and Clint. Bree and Clint. This time yesterday, the votes were starting to roll in and it was still kind of anybody's game.
Starting point is 00:16:55 Today, very different story, but we're very lucky to have on the show again New Zealand's leading political journalist, Jack Tame. Kia ora, Jack. Kia ora. I'm about the only employed journalist left, guys. That's why they gave you... If you'd been there like 10 years ago, it would have been great.
Starting point is 00:17:10 But now it's like, yeah, OK. OK, sorry. Please welcome TVNZ's last man standing, Jack Tame. Yes, there we go. Still a pretty good title, if you ask me. Thanks, guys. Jack, when we talked to you yesterday, you were at Kamala HQ waiting for the big party.
Starting point is 00:17:25 And I saw you on 6 o'clock news as well. And it was people were leaving and it was a bit different. She didn't even come out and speak last night, did she, Jack? No, it's not what I would describe as a big party. The thing is, I don't know what it is. I think I said to you guys yesterday, I was kind of bragging. I said I've done four of these things before. And I always end up at the losers party.
Starting point is 00:17:46 I reckon they have pollsters and they have economists and they have Paul the Octopus and all of that trying to work out who is going to win the election. Honestly, they just work out where I'm going to be and they know that person's going to lose. So yeah, it was pretty grim last night. Kamala decided she wasn't going to come out. She had all these people come out to see her.
Starting point is 00:18:06 They just had to turn around and go home. Some of them thought, oh, well, maybe the results will turn around overnight. She would be president tomorrow. But, of course, that wasn't the case. In the end, despite everyone thinking it was going to be a really close race, it wasn't a close race. Donald Trump absolutely stumped Kamala Harris. So, yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:22 I need to ask your opinion on this, Jack. What do you think it was that really changed this election for Kamala Harris and made it so, so drastically the other way for Donald Trump? What do you think it was? What was the key factor? Well, first of all, I reckon if he was versing Biden, it would have been even worse for the Democrats. But I reckon that we haven't done a good job of illustrating to Kiwis enough just how angry working class people in America are about the state of politics. And this is like a bit of a deep take, but my theory is kind of simple,
Starting point is 00:19:02 right? Like for the last 30 years, people growing up in working class communities, the sort of communities that used to have good middle class jobs from working in factories and that kind of thing, they've seen all of those jobs go overseas. At the same time, they've seen their wages go down. They've seen their opportunities go down, their access to health healthcare go down. You know, maybe if your dad had a good job as a foreman in a factory and was earning a middle-class wage 50 years ago, the best you can hope for with the same education in the same town now is earning $9 an hour at 7-Eleven. And that's grim. And people are really, really sick of it.
Starting point is 00:19:37 And I reckon this is just them saying, you know what? We're sick of being told how to live our lives. We want someone who says the system is rigged and you're being screwed over and I'm going to fix it. That's what I reckon it is. That is so deja vu, though, because I feel that was the analysis that came out of the 2016 election. That's exactly what they said.
Starting point is 00:19:55 They said Trump has tuned into this thing of people who are angry, they are broke, they are fed up, and they do a protest vote for Donald Trump. And the exact same thing has happened again, Jack. Yeah, but then the stuff that everyone, you know, goes on about in these campaigns isn't like, how do we make life better for people in those communities? For the, like, tens of millions of Americans
Starting point is 00:20:15 who aren't living great lives and who are kind of, like, materially worse off than their parents' generation. Most of the time, the conversations they have in election campaigns are over things like Puerto Rico. Is Puertoerto rico you know is puerto rico offended all that kind of thing and i'm not saying those kind of messaging and branding things aren't important but i reckon like you know i mean just to take the puerto rico example it's amazing to see how many latino men supported carmen harris like that obviously the the Puerto Rico thing didn't matter that much to them.
Starting point is 00:20:45 What matters to them is can I get ahead? Can I have a good life? Can I expect good money for the work that I'm doing? And I reckon just heaps of them feel like they're getting screwed over. Yeah. You mean Puerto Rican men supported Donald Trump? Yeah. Sorry.
Starting point is 00:21:00 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Even after all that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Supported Kamala Porter. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Even after all that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Support of Kamala Harris, yeah. Because do you feel like, and obviously we, you know, see what we see here and get fed what we get fed, but do you feel like that is the bottom line for, like,
Starting point is 00:21:15 most Americans right now, that everything else doesn't really matter? It's whether or not that they can get ahead financially and have a better life. All the other policies and all that kind of stuff is extra. But do you think that was the main reason that people voted for him? Yeah, I reckon. And I just reckon that whether they're like Republicans or Democrats, like previous presidents,
Starting point is 00:21:39 like the difference between like George W. Bush and Obama actually isn't nearly as significant as we think it is. And for lots of people, they're just like, you know what? I voted Republican in the past. I voted Democrat in the past. And honestly, it didn't make that much of a difference in my life. I want to have a leader who's going to completely flip the whole thing on its head, who's going to come out and say, nah, Washington, D.C. is screwed.
Starting point is 00:22:03 The current political system is screwed. You're being screwed over, and I'm going to come out and say, nah, Washington, D.C. is screwed. The current political system is screwed. You're being screwed over, and I'm going to change it. And I reckon that's what's so attractive to people, eh? But yeah, I mean, elections are always about economics. And in the U.S. at the moment, their big macro numbers for their economy are just so much better than New Zealand's. Like when I'm over here at the moment, the exchange rate's like 59 cents. So you go and get a coffee, and it'll cost you like $9 New Zealand dollars, $10 New Zealand dollars. when I'm over here at the moment, the exchange rate's like 59 cents. So you go and get a coffee and it'll
Starting point is 00:22:26 cost you like 9 New Zealand dollars. 10 New Zealand dollars. It's ridiculous. Imagine if some of those Americans had to live over here and go grocery shopping here. Can you imagine, Jack? They'd be outside with pickets and torches. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. It's bleak. We're very
Starting point is 00:22:41 lucky to have your insight, Jack. We appreciate it. That is Jack Tame from TVNZ. The man who no political party wants at their election night campaign. No, you're a jinx. You're a political jinx, Jack Tame. Not a single person, yeah. In fact, stay away from my parties from now on, Jack. Appreciate it, Jack.
Starting point is 00:22:59 Bree and Clint from iHeartRadio. This is the latest live from LA with Dean McCarthy. Dean, Chris Hemsworth and his wife, Elsa Pataki, they're under fire. What have they done? Here's what they've done, Bree. They've gone and done a tourism ad for the UAE, for Abu Dhabi. And the ad is about a minute long. They posted it on their social media and it promotes all of the different tourist things
Starting point is 00:23:24 that you can do in Abu Dhabi. Have a listen to here. media and it promotes all of the different tourist things that you can do in Abu Dhabi. Have a listen to here. Here's a little bit of the ad. I got you! Hold on! Great take, everyone! A little bit more hop here, please! Experience Abu Dhabi.
Starting point is 00:23:39 Find your pace. Yeah, it's chaos. It's chaos. So the ad starts with him shooting a movie, and then he's like, we need a vacation, and him and the family all go to Abu Dhabi. So he's gotten a lot of backlash today on this. He's not the first celebrity to get backlash on partnering and doing things in the UAE.
Starting point is 00:23:59 The backlash is about, you know, the different human rights restrictions that are in the UAE. Rebel Wilson was over in the UAE in Dubai last year when Beyonce launched that new resort and she got slammed about being there as well. I go there a lot. You guys know this. I host a show that airs in the UAE and I go to the Abu Dhabi in Dubai a couple of times a year. I'm going in December. They treat me really, really well.
Starting point is 00:24:24 And they all know that I'm gay. They all know that I'm in December. They treat me really, really well. And they all know that I'm gay. They all know that I'm gay. And they treat me really, really well. So I don't know whether it's like a specific experience for me because I've worked or have a work thing there. I don't know. But I can see why it definitely rubs people up that Chris has done this ad.
Starting point is 00:24:38 Yeah, they have a bad human rights record in that part of the world. And I'm sure you do have a good experience over there. And I'm sure lots of people do. There's a lot of different things that they're known for doing, like archaic laws inhibiting women's rights, freedom of speech, the criminalisation of homosexuality. There's heaps of stuff.
Starting point is 00:24:58 And I remember, because we talked about when Beckham was actually doing some work for them as well. Well, he was doing it for Qatar, not for the UAE. Which I mean, yeah. But similar situation. Similar situation. And he copped the same backlash as well, where people feel like these people don't need the money
Starting point is 00:25:15 and they're selling out and taking a big paycheck. To do an ad for Byron Bay. Yeah, I feel like he's done that as well. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's done that. Yeah, he's done that. He's done every Byron Bay ad that as well. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's done that. Yeah, he's done that. He's done every Byron Bay ad ever. He's done ads for Sweets. He's done everything. That's the goss live out of Los Angeles with our Hollywood correspondent,
Starting point is 00:25:33 Dean McCarthy. I saw the story today about these two Kiwi guys from Kaikoura. One shot the other one in the face with a rifle and the news story is that the man who was shot in the face has decided to forgive and forget.
Starting point is 00:25:49 Why in the world would you forgive for that? Obviously it was an accident. Yes, it was an accident. So, hear it out. It happened on a hunting trip. Neither of the men had a valid firearms licence so it was a true accident, you know?
Starting point is 00:26:05 Didn't even know how to work the gun. Yeah, that seems silly, doesn't it? The friend accidentally fired a bullet from a rifle. The bullet hit the left side of his friend's face. The bullet went near his eye, through his face, near his eye, before passing through his nose. Oh! The man has since had to have his eye removed.
Starting point is 00:26:27 Oh, God. And parts of his face rebuilt. But he has said, YOLO, it was an accident. You're all good, my bro. Don't worry about it. I don't want any reparation. I don't want you to go to court. It's all good, man.
Starting point is 00:26:40 It's all good. That's a good friend. Beers on the other guy for life, though, eh? Like, you'll shout for the rest of time. Yeah, 100%. That's wild. I like to think that I would forgive a friend if they shot me in the face, if it was an accident.
Starting point is 00:26:56 I mean, if it wasn't an accident, I feel like I'd really struggle to forgive someone. Yeah. I can't imagine staying mad at someone for something that was truly an accident, you someone. Yeah. I can't imagine staying mad at someone for something that was truly an accident. You know? Yeah. Like, you can be pissed off, but so long as they apologise and they mean it, you know?
Starting point is 00:27:13 I agree. I'd be pissed off if the person was like, you got in the way. It was your fault. You got in the way of the bullet. Oh, then I'd be fuming. Then you'd be fuming. I'd be fuming then. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:23 I think you fuming. Then you'd be fuming. I'd be fuming then. Yeah, yeah. I think you're right. Like, I can forgive anyone if it was an accident and there was no ill intent behind it. No malice. No malice. You know, accidents happen. Yeah. But it all depends on, yeah, the intent.
Starting point is 00:27:40 Totally. You know? Totally. And whether you believe wholeheartedly whether something was an accident or not. That's why I want to hear stories of forgiveness this afternoon. I want to know what you forgave a friend for, which was pretty big, but you still managed to get over it. Or what did someone forgive you for?
Starting point is 00:27:59 What's the thing that your friendship survived? I feel like you're running a sermon. Well, maybe I am. Maybe I'm offering people the chance at redemption this afternoon. Let's talk about forgiveness. Let's talk about forgiveness. What did you forgive a friend for where people would probably be like,
Starting point is 00:28:14 you forgave them for that? I've got some thought starters for you. Maybe they, we've already talked to someone like this today. What if they stole your husband? Yep. Could you forgive them if they stole your husband? Did you forgive them if they stole your husband? Did you forgive them if they stole your husband?
Starting point is 00:28:26 Had an affair with your partner behind your back. Did they accidentally burn your house down? Did they get you fired? Did they crash your uninsured car? Did they run over your dog? Did they run over your dog? Yeah. Oh, God, I'd really struggle.
Starting point is 00:28:42 But like we said before, if it was a genuine accident, then accidents are accidents. Oh, $800 again. But I still won't forgive you. Yeah. Or text 9696. We want to know the thing that your friendship managed to survive. What did you forgive somebody for?
Starting point is 00:28:59 We're asking, what did your friendship survive? There are two guys from the South Island. They're from Kaikoura, I believe, who are in the news today because one shot the other one in the face with a rifle accidentally and the other one has forgiven him publicly. He's gone out and he said, nah, don't charge him with anything. No reparation needed. He didn't mean it.
Starting point is 00:29:19 He's my boy. That's pretty amazing. Yeah. That he can just turn around and say, it was an accident. It was an accident. It's not a big deal. I understand. Still one of my best mates.
Starting point is 00:29:28 So we want to know, what's the thing that your friendship survived? What did they forgive you for? What did you forgive them for? Dimitri's caught up. Kia ora, Dimitri. Hi, Dimitri. Hello, how are you? Yeah, good.
Starting point is 00:29:37 Dimitri, what did your friendship survive? So, mate of mine that I was a little with at the time was mucking around with a golf ball one day and a driver. Yeah. And managed to drive a golf ball. I don't know how quick into my car. Thankfully, it managed to hit the petrol flap and nothing else. So, you got a dented petrol flap.
Starting point is 00:29:57 Yeah. So, it's a dented petrol flap basically. And did he offer to pay for it? No, he offered to fully replace it. Okay. No, don't worry about it. I don't know how he didn't hit any of the other part of the car, but it was more impressive than anything. You are allowed to drive one golf ball at any of his cars in the future now,
Starting point is 00:30:16 though. You know that, eh? As soon as he gets a nice car. He's one of my groomsmen at my wedding next week, so I might just do it then. Do it then. Yeah, cash in on it then. Yeah, announce that you're going to do it at the wedding and then get the whole wedding party to go outside
Starting point is 00:30:29 while you do it to his car. Or stuff the car. I say ball for a ball. Yeah, that's it. You know, let him take his pick. Ball for a ball? Ball for a ball. In what way?
Starting point is 00:30:42 Golf ball for a ball. As in you get a shot at the balls. Oh, golf ball to the balls. Yes. Oh, yeah. I don't know if I could do that. I feel a bit bad. Yeah, fair enough.
Starting point is 00:30:53 Go to the car then. Go to the car then. Go to the car then, yeah. Go to the car then, guys. We're asking, what did your friendship survive? Someone texted in and they said, my maid of honour had shingles a few weeks before my wedding. We didn't realise that you could catch chicken pox from shingles,
Starting point is 00:31:08 so I had chicken pox on my wedding day. I still love her to bits, though. I'd be fuming. I would be so angry. You're coming in frigging calamine lotion in your wedding photos? You must be very good friends because I'd be fuming. Sandy's here. Hi, Sandy.
Starting point is 00:31:24 Hi, Sandy. Hi, Sandy. Hi, how are you guys? We're good, Sandy. What did the friendship survive? Who had to forgive who for what? Well, it was my mum. I had to forgive my mum. What did your mum do?
Starting point is 00:31:37 Well, three days before Christmas, she ran over my cat and I came home from work. Oh, no. She was beside herself and my mum does not get upset. So her crying and sobbing, I thought the world was ending. I thought something awful, like, I mean, it is awful. Yeah, yeah. But she was crying so much she took the level way, way up, right? You thought it was worse.
Starting point is 00:32:02 Yeah. And I'm, like, comforting her and telling her, it's okay, Mum. There's nothing we can't get through. It's okay. It's okay. And then she finally got it out that she ran over the cat. Oh, well, and were you like, is that it? By that point?
Starting point is 00:32:22 I then started crying a lot harder. And I was like, it's okay, mum. It's okay. It's okay. Oh, she would have felt so horrible. Oh, I've never seen my mum so upset in my life. She's quite a hard lady. Easy going, but quite hard.
Starting point is 00:32:38 Never cries. Never gets fazed. But to see her in that state really got me going. But, I mean, what's there to forgive? It's not like she did it on purpose. She didn't do it on purpose. It's like the shooting the guy in the face thing. They didn't do it on purpose. It's an accident. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:54 Is that why you're not friends with your mum anymore? No, I love my mum. My mum's a wonderful, wonderful, wonderful lady who's sacrificed everything. And, Sandy, wonderful lady who sacrificed everything. And, Sandy, you've got one over her. You know, like if you ever need anything, you just go,
Starting point is 00:33:10 hey, you remember that time you ran over my cat? Well, the funny thing is, though, my cat used to always chew phone cords and everyone would say, oh, how's the cat? And we would joke, oh, alive, just. And then finally when someone asked the next time, I joke, oh, alive, just. And then finally, when someone asked the next time, I'd be like, no,
Starting point is 00:33:29 dead. No, dead. Oh. And they're like, ha ha, yeah, good one,
Starting point is 00:33:33 good one, good one. How's the cat? No, mum ran it over. Oh, bless. Yeah,
Starting point is 00:33:37 on purpose. I'm glad to hear that it didn't ruin your relationship, Sandy. No, she's awesome. Oh, good to hear. Glad you could laugh about it too, that's always helpful, you know? No, she's awesome. Oh, good to hear. Glad you can laugh about it too. That's always helpful.
Starting point is 00:33:48 You know? Yeah, always a good thing. Bree and Clint. Bree and Clint. We were just talking to a lady whose mum ran over her cat and was very, very upset. So much so that the woman thought the world was ending and then it turned out, oh no, she just ran over the cat. Which is a big deal
Starting point is 00:34:04 but they made it sound like a bigger deal than it was. Someone texts in and said, that is such a good trick. I do it all the time with my wife. I tell her that something costs $2,000 and she gets upset and then I go, nah, nah, just kidding. It was only $500. And then she's not as angry as she was about the $2,000 thing. Yeah, my mum does that a lot to my dad,
Starting point is 00:34:23 but she never tells him the part of how much it's actually worth. She does it the other way around. Yeah, she'll say, oh, it was about the $2,000 thing. Yeah, my mum does that a lot to my dad, but she never tells him the part of how much it's actually worth. She does it the other way around. Yeah. She'll say, oh, it was about $50. But she never tells him how much it actually was. And he'll go, $50! That's exactly what happens. She's like, $350? $50? My dad has no idea how much things
Starting point is 00:34:39 cost because he lives on a farm. And they're happily married. Yeah, it works. Marriage is about lying to your partner about the right things. Yes. Isn't it? That's what it comes down to. Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:50 The things that don't matter. The things that, yeah. As much. You've got to lie to keep them happy. I think that's what it is. Yeah. Lying is the key to a good, healthy marriage. I think that's what it is.

I'd like a little bit more te reo Maori, if that's okay, Debbie. What else can I say? Maybe you could say, the weather was wonderful today
Starting point is 00:51:13 and I'm looking forward to tomorrow. Can you say that? Oh, man. Yeah, how are you going to know if you can't say it? I'm not on trail here, though. Don't turn this around on me. This is about Debbie. But how are you going to know if she can't say it? I'm not on trail here, though. Don't turn this around on me. This is about Debbie. But how are you going to know if she's telling the truth?
Starting point is 00:51:28 I'll get a vibe. I'll get a vibe. Debbie, just say anything. He's not going to know. Um, oh, I'm like gobsmacked now. Oh, we've put her on the spot. Come on, Debbie, just collect yourself. Literally, Debbie, just say anything.

Thank you. You've got Matahim, Matawai, Whakatane, you know, all those sort of places as well. Obviously, yeah, absolutely. That was pretty good from Debbie. I was wrong. Obviously, I was wrong. That text was wrong. What text?
Starting point is 00:52:15 When I said Debbie was a liar. Well, I guess we'll never know. She's the real. I guess we'll just have to take Debbie's word for it. Which word? English, rational, today. English, rational, today. Yeah, good point.
Starting point is 00:52:31 I think English was her strongest, to be honest. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Everyone's got a dominant language, absolutely. Yeah. I'm free in Clent. Free in Clent. Free in Clent. I said somebody's retiring,
Starting point is 00:52:42 and they could be in the room with us right now. They could be right here right now. We just don't know if they are. That's the thing. Because the news out today is that Ray Gunn is retiring. The Olympic breakdancer. Oh, thank God. Not me.
Starting point is 00:53:00 Again. What? You guys need to let this go. Ray Gunn and me are not the same person. We're two different people. You've put your hair back on the side part, which we veered away from. Today you're rocking a side part with a flip.
Starting point is 00:53:15 Yeah. And you could not look more Ray Gunn. In this moment, you could not look more Ray Gunn. I am aware that we look very similar, okay? The only difference, I I believe between you two Is that you don't take yourself as seriously as she does That's the only difference I can notice Between you and Ray Gunn
Starting point is 00:53:31 You also look like Ray Gunn but you sound like her Because when I was editing this clip that we're about to play You thought it was you Laughing Brianna She said is that me No I said I hope that's not my laugh No you were like is that my laugh No I said... She said, is that me? No, I said, I hope that's not my laugh. No, you were like, is that my laugh? No, I said, I hope it's not.
Starting point is 00:53:49 Rachel Gunn, a.k.a. Ray Gunn, has announced that she is retiring early from the sport that she loves because of bullying. She said... She spoke to the Jimmy and Nath radio show in Australia. And here is what Ray Gunn had to say. Would you do the Olympics again? No.
Starting point is 00:54:08 You wouldn't do it again? No. So you're going to continue to break? I still break, but I don't compete. You won't compete again? I'm not going to compete anymore, no. I was going to keep competing for sure, but, yeah, that seems really difficult.
Starting point is 00:54:22 I still dance and I still break, but, you know, in my living room with my partner. You've got to admit, it does sound a bit like you. You've got to admit, it doesn't sound anything like me. It doesn't. It doesn't sound anything like me. I feel bad. I feel bad for her.
Starting point is 00:54:42 That's really sad if that's the truth. She said she was made to feel crap and she doesn't want it to happen again. Yeah, fair enough. She literally was the most talked about person in the whole world. But it was with love. You know, it was like you suck with love. But I also see from her point of view, you know, where she works really hard for something
Starting point is 00:55:04 and obviously it wasn't a joke to her. Yes, this is the problem. She wasn't in on the joke. No. I would argue, though, that it's a great time to retire for Ray Gunn. She's 37. She's been to the Olympics, the pinnacle of her sport. Her sport has now also been removed from the Olympics.
Starting point is 00:55:20 Yeah, this is a good time to retire. She's world famous, job done. Because how many more kangaroos do you have in you? Totally. You know? Like it's a pretty, and like the serpent move, which we've all seen, pretty like physically demanding. We never got to see the koala though.
Starting point is 00:55:35 Oh, yeah, that would have been good. There are hells left to climb. But, I mean, leave some animals for the rest of us, Regan. I'm going to be debuting a move that I've been working on. Yeah. I'm calling it the echidna. Oh, yeah, okay. And then also another move that I've been working on
Starting point is 00:55:52 called the platypus, which that's a bit of an X-rated move, so you have to be 18 and over. Yeah, you're doing the horny goat as well? Yeah, that's in my repertoire. I thought we could ask, in the light of Ray Gunn standing down because of the haters, she didn't want to retire. She's retiring because of the haters. If it wasn't for the haters, what would you still be doing right now?
Starting point is 00:56:15 Me personally, I believe if it wasn't for the haters. You'd still have that eyebrow piercing. I'd still have an eyebrow piercing. Or there's a strong chance that I'd be a Broadway star right now. If I had stuck with it. Mate. If I'd stuck with it, pursued my love of musical theatre. You know.
Starting point is 00:56:32 I could very well. You don't even know what the movie Wicked is about. I could have been being interviewed. Honey. I know, because I got bullied out of it. Clint, I hate to break it to you. I'm not saying you couldn't have been in the ensemble, but I don't know if you've got the voice for Broadway.
Starting point is 00:56:48 No, I agree because I didn't have time to let it develop. Oh, okay. I see what you're saying. Okay. Let him live his dream. He could have been on Broadway. To be honest, I kind of bullied myself out of it. I was like, oh.
Starting point is 00:57:00 Toxic masculinity. That's exactly what it was. I was like, that's so lame I love being in these productions but what if people think I'm gay I better go and play rugby how sad is that eh
Starting point is 00:57:12 like the thing that you actually enjoyed doing and then you gave it up because you're like oh what are the people going to think what did the haters stop you from doing
Starting point is 00:57:20 they tried to stop me from playing soccer when I was younger oh yeah because no other girls I was younger. Oh, yeah? Because no other girls, I was the only girl playing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And so I'd play against all the boys and I'd dominate because girls develop earlier than boys.
Starting point is 00:57:34 Yeah, yeah. So I was taller and stronger and faster than everyone. And then it wasn't even the boys. The boys were fine that I played against. It was all of the boys' dads on the sideline and they'd be like, where's her birth certificate? Where's that girl's birth certificate? She hurt my son. She broke his
Starting point is 00:57:52 collarbone. Like, get over it. We want to know, if it wasn't for the haters, it's a bit of fun. If it wasn't for the haters, what's the thing that you think you would be doing right now? You could have been world famous at what? You wish you could go back and be like,
Starting point is 00:58:07 don't worry about the haters, keep going. It's a good lesson for the kids. It's a great lesson. So let's get them on. Oh, $800 at M. Poor old Ray Gunn has announced the haters have got the better of her and she's going to retire from breakdancing. She doesn't want it.
Starting point is 00:58:20 She doesn't want the attention anymore. I feel like this is not the best move from her because I feel like she'll be getting more bookings than ever. Yeah. No, the best move from her was the kangaroo. That was definitely the best move. Or the serpent. The serpent was one of my faves.
Starting point is 00:58:34 She's 37. The next Olympics she'd be 41. I'm not saying you can't be a 41-year-old breakdancer, but... It's not in the next Olympics, is it? Oh, and it's not in the next Olympics. It's a really, really good point. Either way, it's always sad when someone gets, someone lets the haters get the better of them
Starting point is 00:58:51 and they stop doing the thing that they love. Yeah, it can be hard to block out the noise of the haters. Yeah, especially when you're young. It would have been so loud because there was so many people making fun of her, even though I think it came from a place of love. Most of it. Most of it.
Starting point is 00:59:10 She would have got some darker stuff that we didn't get to see. Yeah, for sure. Totally. But we want to know, what did the haters stop you from doing? If it wasn't for them, you'd be doing what, Henry? Probably acting or singing. You reckon you would have been an actor or a singer? Oh, I would have hoped so
Starting point is 00:59:27 Who stopped you from doing that, Henry? Were people telling you, oh, you're not any good? No, I kind of put myself off it That's exactly what I was talking about Yeah, why? Took myself out of doing it Why do you reckon that is, Henry? I don't know, just like how others would think of it
Starting point is 00:59:44 Kind of puts you down a wee bit Where'd you grow up, Henry? I don't know, just like how others would think of it. Kind of puts you down a wee bit. Where'd you grow up, Henry? Nelson. Nelson. Okay. How old are you now?
Starting point is 00:59:51 I'm South Canterbury. I'm 18. You're 18. Oh, Henry, there's still time for you, mate. Why don't you sign up to an agency
Starting point is 00:59:59 and go and do some auditions? Why don't you do some acting lessons? Oh, maybe. I could do. What would be your dream, Henry? What's like your dream role or
Starting point is 01:00:07 would it be to be a musician? What is it? I'm not so sure. I'm in two minds about it. Yeah. We should get Henry in. Yeah. And he can record a song or produce up a song. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And get you started, Henry. And we'll do a couple of scenes with him. Yeah. Okay, alright.
Starting point is 01:00:23 Hold the line, Henry. Let's go to Chloe on 0800 DARS. Hi, Chloe. Hi, Chloe. Hello, guys. If it wasn't for the haters, you'd be what? I would still be a wrangler. I'd be a redhead. Wait, so you're telling me, Chloe, you're a natural redhead.
Starting point is 01:00:38 I am, yes. And because of what people said, you've now dyed your hair a different colour. Yeah, so now I'm blonde. Okay. It's like, I guess it just started in primary school and then ran all the way through to high school. And the second I left high school, I went to the hairdresser and became blonde.
Starting point is 01:00:56 Kids suck, man. Kids are horrible. Yeah. Blonde is the only way to go if you want to escape ringerism, isn't it? Because my brother is a flaming redhead and he made the mistake of box dyeing his black.
Starting point is 01:01:08 Oh no. Doesn't look great. And of course the regrowth comes through almost instantly so then you've got black on the end of really vibrant ginger regrowth and I think it just compounded the problem, you know? Yeah, I think
Starting point is 01:01:23 blonde's the only way to go. How old are you now, Chloe? I'm 22. Would you ever go back to your natural red hair? I've thought about it actually, yeah. I reckon you should. There'll be a time in your life. I reckon it's your superpower. There will be a time in your life where you go, that makes me so unique and so cool.
Starting point is 01:01:40 Like red hair's beautiful. Like you'll love it one day. Yeah, I reckon too. It's definitely, I'm thinking about it. But I can fully understand why you'd hate it when people bully you. If it wasn't for the haters, Chloe, it would still be a wringer.
Starting point is 01:01:54 It would still be a wringer. Thanks, Chloe. We appreciate it. Someone texted and said, if it wasn't for the haters, brackets, my parents, I would have been diagnosed with ADHD earlier and maybe would have been better at school. LMAO.
Starting point is 01:02:07 It's good that you can LMAO about it. Yeah. Yeah. I'm with you on that. I had the same journey. What about the one that says I'm known in the UK and USA for psychic animal readings, but there's someone in New Zealand that ruined it for me
Starting point is 01:02:25 and got me banned from doing shows because they were similar to what she does but not the same. Is there beef in the psychic animal reading community? Well, they have said a name there which is quite a well-known psychic that doesn't do the animal stuff. I need to look. But it's the human. That.
Starting point is 01:02:44 Yeah. I didn't know that she did animals. No, she doesn't. It says there even though she can't do it. Oh, so she's coming onto your turf. We can't say the celebrity. We can't. So she got you banned.
Starting point is 01:02:57 I mean, we could say that you said the celebrity, but we won't. We're the bigger people. But that's BS if you're listening. I'm a well-known. I'm so angry. ...psychic animal do well... Okay. Okay.
Starting point is 01:03:10 Well, I mean, rise above, you know? There's a lot of animals around. But now that person's gotten banned. Oh, they got them banned? From doing shows around the area because the other psychic was like, this is my turf. You can be banned from doing psychic reading shows?
Starting point is 01:03:23 I don't know. Who polices that? Who's the person who's going around? I think it's Hagrid. Oh, is that who it is? Yeah. Someone said, if it wasn't for the haters, I would still be doing competitive marching.
Starting point is 01:03:37 Yes, that is a thing. I could have gone pro, but my mum said it was too expensive. Oh, mum was your hater. Hayley Sproul needs to stop texting into our show. She should be napping. Is she still marching? Yeah, she still marches. My mum was a marching girl.
Starting point is 01:03:54 Was she? Yeah. Is that a Kiwi thing, is it? Yeah. Yeah, right. Yeah, definitely. Oh, yeah. Oh, what?
Starting point is 01:04:00 It's got... There's a lot of Kiwi marching groups. Because I'd never really heard of it. I reckon it's a sport you and I could get into. No, I like having a relationship. Hey, don't be one of the haters. I reckon those marching girls get OTP after a competition too. I'm just kidding.
Starting point is 01:04:18 I actually think it's super cool. People are texting in trying to guess who the psychic is who bullied the... Well, that person was right. ...the pet psychic out of being a pet psychic. And to the person who texted in a suggestion... You're correct. ...you nailed it in one.
Starting point is 01:04:32 Yep. That's exactly who it was. Is that James Musterpick who texted that in? Bree and Clint, we'll do a birthday banger next. If you would like to know the number one song on your 16th birthday, 0800-DIAL dial ZM right now. Obviously, psychics need not apply because you already know what your birthday banger is.

Starting point is 01:09:42 Banger. Up next on the show, very exciting. I've come across a very nostalgic cartoon for us millennials, something we all would have watched when we were kids. And they're bringing it back. They're rebooting it. And even more exciting, they're auditioning for roles on the show. Yeah, this is good.
Starting point is 01:10:04 I loved this show as a kid. This was one of my favourites as a kid. It was definitely one of the weirder shows. Oh, it's very strange. Very strange. But as a kid. You don't realise that. But also I think that's what you like about it.
Starting point is 01:10:16 It's weirdness. Yeah. Like the best kids shows are weird. Like SpongeBob. It's weird as hell. It is a weird show, yeah. Yeah. Angry Beavers.
Starting point is 01:10:24 Cat Dog is weird. Oh, I loved Cat Dog so much. What was the one about the fat cat? Rocco's Modern World. Yeah, that was messed up. That was messed up, that show. The Monsters one where they all lived in the... In the sewer.
Starting point is 01:10:38 In the sewer. No, they lived at the dump. Oh, yeah. Ah, real monsters. Ah, real monsters, yeah. Yeah. Arnold. Hey, Arnold.
Starting point is 01:10:45 That was weird. What was weird about Hey, Arnold? Ah, real monsters. Ah, real monsters, yeah. Yeah. Arnold. Hey, Arnold. That was weird. What was weird about Hey, Arnold? He had a football-shaped head. Oh, yeah, true. And his grandpa was so old. Yeah, and kind of creepy. Yeah. Anyway, it's none of those shows.
Starting point is 01:10:57 It's none of those shows. Do you want an audio clue or save it? Nah, save it. Save it? Okay, we'll talk about it next. Bree and Clint. I was very excited when I read this news that a nostalgic cartoon from the millennial childhoods Yeah, big time.
Starting point is 01:11:15 is coming back and they're currently auditioning for the reboot of the show. I hope they don't make this a live action. I hope they keep it. I hope it's the same. I hope they keep it exactly the show. I hope they don't make this a live action. I hope they keep it I hope it's the same. I hope they keep it exactly the same. This cartoon was a claymation series. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:11:31 And you may recognise it from this sound. Pingu was cooked. Like if you watch it back now you're like, what? It's like an acid trip. With these people on when they made this show. But it's so good.
Starting point is 01:11:53 I love it so much. Action! Action! Like there's no dialogue in the show. No, there's no dialogue. Absolutely no dialogue. And you can still follow the storyline. You can follow exactly how Pengu is feeling.
Starting point is 01:12:06 If you've ever watched any like doco about how they make claymation as well, it's painstaking, the process. It is so slow. Imagine making like Wallace and Gromit, the detail in those episodes in the movies. Love Wallace and Gromit. So good. I think we should. We forgot the cheese. Gromit. So good. I think we should... We forgot the cheese.
Starting point is 01:12:26 Gromit. We should give it a go because they're auditioning for Voices in Pengu. And, I mean, I need some extra work at the moment. So may as well give it a crack. You've got strong Clay Penguin vibes. I just feel like I've got the same chaotic energy as Pengu. Do you want a little bit more inspo? Yeah, what else have we got?
Starting point is 01:12:48 This is some more Pengu. That doesn't give us a lot. This one. Argan, it's all here. That's signature Pengu, isn't it? That is Signature Pingu. Okay, are you ready? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:13:09 Into character. It's not bad. I don't think that was bad. I appreciate that. Ella's not convinced. Are you not convinced? I like the noot-noot, but I didn't know what the star was. That's exactly what Pingu sounds like.
Starting point is 01:13:28 Yeah. Why does that one not make sense, but this one made perfect sense? Do it again. Okay, hold on. Okay. Here's our audition for Pingu. Okay, so it's... Okay. I think it's good
Starting point is 01:13:49 I think it's real good Okay Me Your turn Okay You sound like Pingu's dad Yeah I could be Pingu's dad. Yeah, I could be Pingu's dad. So we could all be in the production.
Starting point is 01:14:13 Ella's so quick to judge us. She is. I think you and I are in. Were you even freaking born? Yeah. Do you even know what the show is? I actually don't like it. Bruh, do you even know Pingu? I think it's boring.
Starting point is 01:14:22 What the hell? I thought it was boring. You think Pingu's boring? Nothing happened. He just went around neuting. Oh my god, I... You give Pingu energy. Energy. You do. You've got big Pingu
Starting point is 01:14:36 energy. She's way more Daria right now. What's that? I don't know Daria. Oh, you don't know Daria? Is that a theory? She looks like Daria too. No, she was this... That was Eliza Thornberry. No, you're definitely not. You're Daria. Shut up.
Starting point is 01:14:49 You're the girl with the glasses off recess. Who's that? I know none of these. The glasses and the freckles on recess? Yeah. I want to be Strawberry Shortcake. Okay. Are you ready to do your Pingu audition?
Starting point is 01:14:58 Yeah, hang on. Let me turn my mic off and practice. Yeah. Okay, that'll help. Look at her. You take it real seriously. Yeah. Okay, I'm good. Okay, this better be good Look at her. Yeah, you take it real seriously. Yeah. Okay, I'm good.
Starting point is 01:15:06 Okay, this better be good because you've been critical of ours. That was actually not bad. Turns out. I wanted it to suck. It was actually quite good. You know what? I think anyone can do kangaroo. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:15:25 Nah, that was strangely accurate. She's like a little Pingu too. She kind of looks like Pingu. Oh, okay. Someone said Pingu was like Peppa Pig for Gen Z and millennials. Yeah. Yeah. I like Peppa Pig.
Starting point is 01:15:41 You can tell a Pingu kid from a mile away. They're usually eating paint. Can I do Peppa Pig? Go on quickly. This is Daddy Pig. Okay, Daddy, calm down. The school year is wrapping up. It's exam time at the moment.
Starting point is 01:16:02 And if you still don't know what you want to be when you grow up, then maybe you should go to influencer school. Pardon me? Maybe you should go to influencer school. That's not a thing. Maybe you should study to become an influencer. Maybe that's your future. There's a lady called
Starting point is 01:16:20 Valeria Lipovitskaya. Nailed it. She's 34. She's an influencer and a podcaster. She has 2.3 million Instagram followers and she's running an influencer training school in Miami. Wow.
Starting point is 01:16:38 Okay. All right. Well, what are the details? How much does it cost? How long does it go for? Well, before I give you that information, would you like to hear a little bit about her? Yeah, go on.
Starting point is 01:16:46 Okay, here's some of the content that she is pumping out. I went yesterday to get a coffee and the girl ordered a cappuccino with whole milk. It stopped me at my tracks, okay? I was looking at her like some kind of unicorn. 2.3 million Instagram followers. Whoa! That's such a crazy story.
Starting point is 01:17:07 She says, Valeria says, across all of her social media platforms, Instagram, TikTok, her podcast, and social media brands that she manages, she believes across her influence and career, she has made about $13.5 million. What? That's what she says. That's wild.
Starting point is 01:17:29 It is wild, if it's true. And yeah, it is wild. I want receipts. But if it is true, I mean, what better person to run the influencer school? But of course she's going to say that because you're not going to go and pay for a seminar to learn about influencing
Starting point is 01:17:45 from someone who's made no money. If you are a parent and your kid comes to you and says, I want to be an influencer, you'd be devastated. But if you thought that your kid could make $13.5 million and get free clothes. I'd still be devastated. You'd still be devastated. I would be.
Starting point is 01:18:01 If they want to create content and create something and put it into the world and, you know, that's fine. I just... There's a difference, right? There's a difference between people online who do the odd bit of social media influencing and people whose whole persona is influencer, right? Yeah, I don't know.
Starting point is 01:18:22 I just, I feel like it's not going to be a job that's going to be around forever. Well, we don't know, isn't it? I don't think so. TV stations are closing down. Advertisers are spending money with content creators rather than big media companies these days. Anyway, Influencer School has no coursework. That sounds fun.
Starting point is 01:18:40 No exams. I like that. It has no official certification of any kind. Okay, that's not good. It's $3,000 a year and you get weekly Zoom calls with Valeria and you get added to a private group chat. Cool. Sounds like a scam.
Starting point is 01:18:59 Like it does and it doesn't. It does, okay, yeah. Like it does and it doesn't. I'm sure, like if she's got two point something million followers. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like it does and it doesn't. I'm sure, like if she's got two point something million followers. She's definitely, yeah, yeah, yeah. You know.
Starting point is 01:19:08 She has a skill. She has a skill. Yeah. And she could probably give a certain amount of that skill to others or teach them but there's only so much
Starting point is 01:19:18 you can teach. It's very full circle though. She's now influencing about influencing. Yeah. She's now an influencing influencer with an influencing school. Yeah, that's buzzy, eh?
Starting point is 01:19:30 Anyway, forget doctor. Don't worry about becoming a teacher. We don't need any more police officers. You can now be an influencer. There's a big, big, big, big, big, big TV show. One of the biggest TV shows of the last 10 years
Starting point is 01:19:45 that is reportedly being turned into a movie. That TV show, if you haven't already picked it. Antiques Roadshow. Oh, it's going to be a fantastic film. I can't wait. What would the film centre on? I reckon it would centre around a down-and-out old couple. 100%.
Starting point is 01:20:02 Who would take something in that they think. Their house is about to be foreclosed on by the bank. Yes. And they'll have to move back in with one of their kids. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And they don't get along with their kids. Their kids don't look after them. And they're going to put them into a really cheap nursing home.
Starting point is 01:20:18 And the guy's wife, the old lady, she's got hospital needs. She's got hospital bills. Yeah, she needs some care and then they like. But there's this one jar, like a vase. It's a Hail Mary. It's a vase that's been sitting on the shelf their whole life. The last Hail Mary in a bid to save their entire life. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 01:20:39 They take this jar in. Yeah. And that's when, I mean, you have to watch it in cinemas. You've got to see what happens. I'm not going to give the whole thing away. No, what do you think? We're going to give the whole plot line of the movie away. There wasn't that.
Starting point is 01:20:51 The movie that's coming is a Game of Thrones movie. Why can't they just leave things alone, honestly? Like, just leave it alone. Like, didn't we already have Bloody House of the Dragon? Yes. Which is a spin-off of Game of Thrones, another TV show, and now they're making movies. Did no one learn from Sex and the City 2?
Starting point is 01:21:11 Yeah. I agree, I agree. That was absolute crap. Multiple sources have confirmed that Warner Brothers is quietly working on at least one film set for the movie. It's very early. There's no talk of directors or writers or stars or anything like that. But I agree with Brie.
Starting point is 01:21:28 Give it a rest. Here's the truth that no one wants to accept about Game of Thrones. You ruined it. You ruined it. With the Starbucks cup? All of that. Those last two seasons of Game of Thrones, they were universally panned. Wait, wait, wait, wait. Wait a second.
Starting point is 01:21:46 Listen to bloody High Horse over here preaching from his ivory tower. He's seen two episodes, the first episode and the last episode. You didn't even watch any of it. And guess which episode was better, the first one. The last one made absolutely no sense to me whatsoever. I bet it didn't. I want to know in the movie, is it going to be nudity? Because that was the big thing for Game of Thrones.
Starting point is 01:22:11 That was the big thing, yeah, yeah. That's what, that's the only reason you watched it. Yeah, no, I actually never watched it. But it could entice me. It got me thinking about other things that they need to give a rest. I agree, give Game of Thrones a rest. I know people like House of the Dragon. That's cool.
Starting point is 01:22:26 But it doesn't need a movie. We don't need a movie. Why do they have to do it? And I know that it's to make money. That's the only reason they do it. So you try and benefit off the success of something massive and make it into something else. I'm dubious about the new Harry Potter TV show.
Starting point is 01:22:41 It's a no. It's a no. I'm kind of excited. But they'll be targeting a new generation. Yeah, exactly. That'll be the thing. It won't be for us. It won't be good. Look at what happened to the Carrie Diaries or whatever it was. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:22:54 No, but that wasn't targeting a new generation. Yeah, it was. The Carrie Diaries. So Sex and the City. Yeah. And this was the prequel to Sex and the City. Oh, was Pre This was the prequel To Sex and the City Ah
Starting point is 01:23:06 I thought you were talking about The spin off that we've got recently And Just Like That Or whatever it's called No And that's another one I didn't know there were so many Yeah
Starting point is 01:23:13 Lord of the Rings There's a Lord of the Rings TV show that they made Yes And that That was bad It was pretty average They're in season two of it
Starting point is 01:23:21 You don't even know what it's called Because it's that bad Yeah Literally Yeah what is it called Rings of Power is what it's called. Really? I went down in the mighty ring of power.
Starting point is 01:23:31 Ella, do you want any more Hunger Games? Yes. I would like some more Hunger Games. Okay, so they haven't milked Hunger Games yet. No, but that's only because they've done four movies. They haven't done like six seasons. Five. There was that other one, eh?
Starting point is 01:23:44 That one last year or something? No, I liked it Five. There was that other one, eh? Yeah. That one last year or something? No, I liked it though and I liked that they're not milking it. When Susan Collins, the author, feels like another story is ready, she just does it. It's nice that it's not like spitting out like a machine. Oh, right. It has to come to her.
Starting point is 01:23:58 I want them to do like a Hunger Games. It doesn't work for a movie company, that though. No. Yeah. I want them to do one where Katniss is like, you know, in her late 40s and she's, you know. Comes out. No, I won't be here forever. And she's dating a woman and they've got like a hundred cats, including her sister Primrose's cat.
Starting point is 01:24:17 Yeah, and she bought a Harley Davidson. No, she bought a Subaru. Oh, she bought a Subaru, that's right. And her and her partner travelled to and from the capital every day. Yeah, for cat shows. And that's how they make their money. And everyone's like, oh my god, that's Katniss
Starting point is 01:24:33 who won the Hunger Games once. Oh, Katniss! And the biggest gimmick that they have is that she gets all the cats to stand up on this thing and she makes them all hiss. At the same time. Yeah. Like a choir.
Starting point is 01:24:49 And it plays on her name. Instead of cat piss, it's cat hiss. All right. Well, we'll workshop these. We won't tell you how that one ends, though, because obviously you have to go see it. Bray and Clint. Play.
Starting point is 01:25:03 Zed-In's Bray and Clint. On Insta, Facebook, TikTok and live weekdays from 3 on Zed-In. See you. Brand Clint.
