Starting point is 00:05:41 The Rugby World Cup 2023 kicks off tomorrow morning in France. The All Blacks taking on one of their greatest World Cup rivals, France, at 7.15 in the morning. You're ready to go. You've got the shirt on already. I have the World Cup All Blacks jersey on already. This is a big deal. I thought to celebrate the Rugby World Cup,
Starting point is 00:05:59 we should get some All Blacks on the show. So the challenge for both of us this week, who don't move in All Black circles, believe it or not, we're not regular chums with any of the ABs. The challenge was get an All Black on the show, but not just any All Black because it's a World Cup. You have to get an All Black that has played in a rugby World Cup before. They're like a unicorn.
Starting point is 00:06:23 It's one level above just a regular All Black if there is such a thing. Absolutely. We've had five days to secure our All Blacks and the person who will decide who wins this competition is Ella, who, with all due respect, Ella, you don't know a lot about rugby. Is that fair? None.
Starting point is 00:06:40 None? You know nothing about rugby? I said above average on Monday. We said to her, could you name an All Black? And she said, is Goodhue one? And I was right. You were right. If you've got Jack Goodhue, you might have an automatic one. I don't have Jack Goodhue.
Starting point is 00:06:55 Okay. We have our All Blacks standing by on the phone. Nervous. It is time to bring them to the big stage. Who wants to go first? Can I pick? I'm going to pick. You can pick, yep.
Starting point is 00:07:06 You've been going off all week that you've locked someone in. I did lock someone in early. I did. I was ready to go by Wednesday. Okay, well, I want to see your one first. You want my all black? Yeah. Okay.
Starting point is 00:07:18 Please welcome to the show this afternoon an all black who played 66 tests for his country. He represented both the Highlanders and the Crusaders to the highest level. He even was an essential member of the 2011 All Black Rugby World Cup winning team. Please welcome to the show, Israel Dagg. Oh! Wow! Izzy. Izzy.
Starting point is 00:07:48 Oh, what an intro. Holy heck. You, I said to you in our text message conversation, you are my trump card. Yeah, yeah. I'm with you, Clint. I'm with you, brother. You're not just an All Black. You're not just a Rugby World Cup All Black.
Starting point is 00:08:04 You're a Rugby World Cup winning All Black. Plus, you were on one of those Air New Zealand safety videos. That makes you the biggest All Black in the country. True. Oh, don't bring that up, my friend, because I actually did that safety video and I never went to the World Cup again. I wasn't going to bring that up.
Starting point is 00:08:20 That was my downfall. The team flying to the World Cup. Sorry? You went through the white areas. You know, you contact me via text message, and Matty contacted my wife, and I said, you're too late, son. You're too late, son.
Starting point is 00:08:35 I'm already locked in with Clint and Matty. I apologise, buddy. Yeah, I thought I'd go through the spouse, and I really thought that was going to be a good way to lock you in, Izzy. You would go for the wags, wouldn't you? You would go for the wags. Izzy, I don't know who Maddy has locked in, but I'm confident that with you on my team,
Starting point is 00:08:57 that we together are going to be the winners of this competition, okay? Yes, I'm hoping so, but what a great initiative. It's an exciting team. It's tomorrow. I've been talking about it all day really. It's finally here and it'll be interesting to see who Maddy, or hear who Maddy is. I'm so interested.
Starting point is 00:09:15 Who's left over? I want to know if it's someone you played with as well, so you can talk a bit of smack to them. I'll have to wait and hear it or who it is, because I'm thinking there's not many 2011 players left. They're all over in France.
Starting point is 00:09:29 I'm the odd one out. It could be has he gone and caught Richie? No, he's in France. Dan Hart is in France. Conrad Smith's in France. Ali Williams is here. Could be an option.
Starting point is 00:09:41 And Ma Nonu hates him, so... Let's do this thing. Matty, are you ready to reveal your All Black? I'm ready. OK, well, the floor is yours. For my effort today, please welcome 28 All Black cap and 154 Super Rugby Cap player, two-time Rugby World Cup player,

Starting point is 00:10:46 I actually had a chat with Dag On a show after I'd been drinking the red wine So I can't, I don't know How did that interview go Daggy, was it alright? It went well mate, you're in better shape then than you are now I can hear the croak in your voice Are you okay? You radio sluzz Andy Ellis
Starting point is 00:11:02 I'll tell you what Andy, I was nervous Because you messaged me last night to say, I'm on the Reds, but I'll set my alarm. And I thought, I don't know if this is happening. What time is it in France right now, Andy? Oh, it's about half past seven in the morning. You would have just got home, Andy. Before we move on, I've got a slight bone to pick here.
Starting point is 00:11:23 It sounds like I'm actually second choice, Matty. No, Andy, no. Good point. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I will, no. Even Matty wanted my all black. No, no, no, no, no. Even Matty wanted my all black.
Starting point is 00:11:35 No, no, no, no, no. I am going to step in right now and tell you that I, no, I messaged you at 5.38 on Wednesday night New Zealand time and it took you until 4 o'clock this morning to message me back. So I had to go to other players. I couldn't rely on you, Andy. I know. You thought of me first, son.
Starting point is 00:12:01 It's all right. It's okay. Just like the dating apps, Matdy cast his net far and wide. I cast it to Andy first. I just had to hedge my bets. Let's go to Ella now. She is ultimately going to decide this. Come on, Ella.
Starting point is 00:12:13 You know what to do. Ella, who's the bigger all-black get? Well, can I ask some questions quickly? Ask some questions. I just have a few questions. Now, really amazing achievements both of you have. But aside from that, I'm interested to know your food of choice after a rugby match. Oh, God.
Starting point is 00:12:30 What? Just quick meal, favourite meal. Dagger? My go-to after a rugby match was salmon sashimi in the changing room. Who just spoke? That was Israel Dag. Andy, what about you? And mine, yeah, mine was I just loved going and getting a Big Mac combo after a game.
Starting point is 00:12:50 That's my real trick. Oh, God, Sandy. Okay. Ella, have you got the information you need? Yes, I've also Googled your photos just to double check I knew who you were. Okay, are you ready to make your decision? Ella, who's going to come on the back? Okay, I'm sorry to do this,
Starting point is 00:13:09 but before you make your decision, because it took Andy so long to get back to me, I had to hedge my bets. And Izzy and Andy, I'm so sorry to do this to you, but I think I have someone that trumps you both. Oh, come on. Please welcome to the show Sir
Starting point is 00:13:31 Graham Henry. What? Oh, you got the name wrong. Sir Graham Henry. I went to call him Ted and then I thought, I can't call him Ted. I've got to call him Sir Graham Henry. You do not. You have a Graham Henry impersonator. Hello. Hello.
Starting point is 00:13:48 It's very nice to be asked and Ted will do. And you've got my two favourite Albrechts there. Izzy and Andy. How you doing, coach? You can't do better than that. So, Izzy and Andy, I have to ask the question,
Starting point is 00:14:03 because you've both played under Ted. Do either of you beat him as a guest on this show? No, absolutely not. I'll let Ted have the glory. Living in the glory for 13 years, I'll let him have it one more. Oh, no. Knighthood days, too. You're responsible. They got me out night or day soon. They are responsible.
Starting point is 00:14:28 You cheeky son of a bitch. They should be a part of it. Ted, thank you so much for being on the show. How were Andy and Izzy as players to coach?
Starting point is 00:14:40 World class. World class. How on earth did you pull this off? You don't even watch rugby. You don't even watch rugby. I cleansed the room with a rugby shirt on. Okay, here's the thing.
Starting point is 00:14:54 I'm glad I don't have to pick now between Israel and Andy. We're going to go with Graham. Sir Graham Henry. You're an icon. Nice to meet you. I tell you what, she's a very astute woman, isn't she? She's a clever lady. Isn't she? She's a clever lady. Isn't she?
Starting point is 00:15:06 She's a clever lady. Maddie is a crafty bastard. I'm happy to take a back seat to you. Yeah, I will too. I will too. When are you coming to France? Thank you. Hey, Ted, who's going to win this year?
Starting point is 00:15:20 Oh, the All Blacks. Yeah. The All Blacks. I'm coming over for the semi with a little group of people with a big box to bring the cup back. So, no, no, they'll do the business. They're going to get it done.

Can we get an up the All Blacks from the three of you before you go? Yeah. Oh, well, not one. Up the All Blacks. Up three of you before you go? Yeah, well, not one. Up the All Blacks.
Starting point is 00:15:46 Up the ABs. Let's go. Well done. Thank you. How did you do that? Thank you so much. He didn't win Treasure Island by accident without the crafty little devil.
Starting point is 00:16:03 I'm always conflicted when I see these stories because on the one hand, it is always really sad to hear of couples that are going through a hard time, right? Yep. But on the flip side, the drama queen in me loves the goss. You're like, ooh, why?
Starting point is 00:16:20 That comes with especially stories of cheaters getting their comeuppance. Yep. And so when I saw this story from Australia about a man who found out his wife was cheating on him at his nephew's birthday party. Oh, okay. My God, was I gripped. Yeah. And you have to at one point go, okay, this is people's lives. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:45 But also, tell me everything. I think he'd want you to know. If he's been done the dirty on, he's like, there's a window where the pettiness is peaking. Yes. Where you go, everybody needs to know what she did.
Starting point is 00:16:59 Before you go and you calm down and you go, oh, let's keep some stuff private. There's a window where you go, everybody, look at this dirty laundry. Look what she did to me. Right? Exactly. And so not only has he shared this story with friends and
Starting point is 00:17:14 family, which is one way to be petty. Yeah. He shared it with the world. How? He stole a radio station in Australia and the radio stations shared it. And now it's gone everywhere. Well, it's fair game then. Okay.
Starting point is 00:17:26 How did he find out his wife was cheating on him? This man's brother was having his nephew's birthday party. So the brother's son? The brother's son. Yeah. So the brother was having a birthday party for his son. Yep. So he was at his nephew's birthday party.
Starting point is 00:17:42 Correct. Got it. The brother, so the dad of the son, was meant to dress up as a son. Yep. So he was at his nephew's birthday party. Correct. Got it. The brother, so the dad of the son, was meant to dress up as a clown. Yep. The brother got sick at the last minute and decided he couldn't do it. He needed to go and lie down for a little bit at the party.
Starting point is 00:17:55 So the brother, the one that's married to this woman, said, I'll do it. I'll jump in as the clown. I'll jump in as the clown. For my nephew. Yes. Okay, got it. So the brother went and got dressed up in the bedroom, put as the clown. I'll jump in as the clown. For my nephew. Yes. Okay, got it.
Starting point is 00:18:06 Went and got dressed up in the bedroom, put on the clown outfit, makeup, glasses, nose, wig, all the rest of it, clown outfit. And while he was getting changed or about to come out of the bedroom to go and entertain the kids, his wife came into the bedroom and started trying to fool around.
Starting point is 00:18:26 With the clown? With the clown. Okay. But here's the clincher. She didn't know that the brother had said no to being the clown. She didn't know it was her husband that had stepped up to being the clown. She thought it was the dad of the kid, the brother of her husband, the original clown.
Starting point is 00:18:47 Correct. Okay. And was saying his name was inappropriately feeling him up. Oh. And the husband went, it's me, your husband. Binch.
Starting point is 00:19:04 Wow. I guess his brothers, they probably kind of look similar anyway. But then you add clown costuming. Totally. And it's a great cover, right? Also, she must have wanted it bad from the brother if she's willing to go there with a clown. At the nephew's birthday party.
Starting point is 00:19:22 At the nephew's birthday party. While her husband is there. Yes. My mind immediately goes to, okay, I'm the husband. I'm the one who's been cheated on and who the wife thinks she's currently cheating on.
Starting point is 00:19:35 How far do you go with it to cement the evidence? You know? Because arguably you have to like at least hook up with her pretending to be your brother to know, to say you cheated on me. Yes. Because otherwise she'll go, no I didn't. Yeah, I with her, pretending to be your brother. To know. To say, you cheated on me.
Starting point is 00:19:46 Yes. Because otherwise she'll go, no, I didn't. Yeah, I was just having a laugh, man. I was just kidding. I was having a laugh. I was just kidding. Yeah. Wild, right?
Starting point is 00:19:54 And then did he take the nose off and he went, gotcha. Takes the nose off, honk, gotcha. There's a wild way to find out your wife is cheating on you. The thing is you'd be devastated too, but you've got this huge smile painted on your face. And those shoes that have like a horn in them. You're leaving and you're crying. You're completely upset and people are like,
Starting point is 00:20:24 oh, tears of a clown. It's possibly the wildest way you could find out that your partner was cheating on you. It's up there. Right up there. It's right up there. ZM's Bree and Clint with Maddie McLean. Oh, that's how the song
Starting point is 00:20:42 ends. Bree and Clint with Maddie, you're on ZM, that's the Pussycat Dolls for Friday James. Caught you off guard. It shouldn't end like that. Is that a new song, that Pussycat Dolls one? It's been a long time since songs just stopped like this. They fade out. The new Busta Rhymes Pussycat Dolls jam.
Starting point is 00:20:57 Not familiar with how it ends. We're going to double pass the Taylor Swift. We're going to give it away in six minutes time, plus a special announcement for anyone who's missed out on Taylor Swift tickets. That's coming up. But before that, I have a special announcement for anyone who's missed out on Taylor Swift tickets. That's coming up. But before that I have a big dilemma. So I'm so
Starting point is 00:21:09 God I'm busy. I'm so busy. Yeah. So straight after the show tonight I've got to go to a dinner party. Oh Mr Popular. I know. Tell me about it.
Starting point is 00:21:16 It's hard. It's at some friend's house. There's going to be about six of us. Three couples are going and the woman who's hosting the dinner party is a very good cook. We should revive that television show,
Starting point is 00:21:28 Suzanne Paul's Guess Who's Coming to Dinner. And you can be Suzanne Paul, and I'll be Anthony Ray Samuels, and I'll drive the limo, and I'll be like, okay, Matty, where are we going? I really can't remember the concept of that show except for they turned up to people's house. Yeah, so Suzanne Paul comes to your house and she goes,
Starting point is 00:21:46 all right, there's a dinner party tonight. I'm bringing three celebrities to dinner. That's right. And it's your job as regular Kiwi family to get the house and dinner ready. And then Anthony Ray Samuels shows up at seven o'clock with a limousine and Matthew Ridge is in it. I love it.
Starting point is 00:22:00 That's the whole show. It's a great concept. That's not what this is. This is just some friends hanging out. But she's hosting. She's the whole show. It's a great concept. That's not what this is. Okay. This is just some friends hanging out. But she's hosting. She's a very good cook. But I said to her, what can we bring? And she said, don't bring anything.
Starting point is 00:22:13 Okay. Just bring yourself. I hate that. So do I. Yeah. Tell me what you want. Allocate me something. Totally.
Starting point is 00:22:19 Happy to do a salad. Just tell me to do a salad. Yeah. Oh, put me on wine. I'll just go to the bottle store and buy the wine. I don't know what you're organizing. I don't know what you're organising. I don't know what you have already. But I'm happy to bring something.
Starting point is 00:22:30 I imagine I'm like you. I was just raised not to show up empty handed. Yeah, but then what is the thing that you bring when you're told not to bring anything? Cadbury Favourites. That's what the ad says. One of the greatest marketing campaigns of all time. Cadbury Favourites. What you bring when ad says. One of the greatest marketing campaigns of all time. Cadbury Favourites.
Starting point is 00:22:45 What you bring when you're told not to bring anything at all. True. But I get it. It's probably like a little bit fancy. So easy. Ferrero Rochers. The fancy Cadbury Favourites. Because you don't know what she's cooking either.
Starting point is 00:23:00 So you don't know what sort of wine you want to bring. That's the other thing. 12 pack of purple goanna. Goes with anything. Goes with fish, goes with the chicken. Just a box of Bacardi breezes slung over my shoulder. Scented candle. It's not a housewarming, eh?
Starting point is 00:23:20 No, it's got to be something related to the dinner. And it can't just be my quintessential witty banter, you know? Tui Mato sauce? Just a loaf of white bread. Ella did this recently. She had this exact situation where she was showing up to a friend's family's house for dinner and they said don't bring anything? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:45 Well, also, did they even say that or you just realised when you got there you hadn't bought anything? Yeah, that. We were just about to hop out of the car and we were like, oh, crap. What do we get? So she gave them the old flowers that her boyfriend had given her earlier in the day.
Starting point is 00:23:59 You re-gifted. That had been sitting in the car. You re-gifted. Which is fine. I think it was a nice thing to do. But because they'd been in the car, the mum put them immediately into a vase and the tulips just went flaccid.
Starting point is 00:24:09 So embarrassing. Instantly, they just flopped over the rim of the vase. Floppy, flaccid flowers. Great. To be fair, already we're getting a lot of texts in and almost all of them have said, bring a bunch of flowers.
Starting point is 00:24:23 Oh, great idea. Yeah, great idea. But just fresh ones that weren't gifted to me already. But it's four o'clock on a Friday. Yeah, where am I getting flowers from? You're going to have to get them from New World. The dairy. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:37 Or pick them. Nah. From their garden. And just wrap them in some old newspaper that they've got in their recycling bin. Just an IOU for some flowers. I'll get them for you on Monday. Yeah, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:24:49 If you've got suggestions, you can text them in 9696. ZM's Brinkland with guest host Maddie McLean. We'll be remembered. ZM Brinkland with Maddie. That's Taylor Swift. Taylor Swift. Taylor Swift.
Starting point is 00:25:05 The Ares Tour. Live in Sydney. This is it. The last double pass of Taylor Swift live in Sydney after four weeks of giving away Taylor Swift tickets. We've had Swifties. We've had mums of Swifties. We've had work friends of Swifties.

Starting point is 00:27:40 flights next week. Exciting. Heaps of ZM Swifties are going to get their flights paid for as well. ZM's Brian Clint with guest host Maddie McLean. I was talking with our producers Ella and Claudia yesterday actually. Ella said to me, Clint, what is an early
Starting point is 00:27:56 alarm for you? Like what would getting up early look like? And I say this through gritted teeth because I know what time you get up. Yeah, but you're a dad. Yeah, but you're an early morning television host. Sure, but sometimes the two go hand in hand. So getting up every day for you is 3.30 a.m.? 3.45, I push it out to.
Starting point is 00:28:14 3.45? Yeah. And so an early morning for you would be 3 a.m.? Yeah, it would be. My alarm goes off at 6 a.m. every day? That's early. So an early alarm for me would be 5.30. Yep. To which Ella goes, whoa.
Starting point is 00:28:32 And I said, what's an early alarm look like for you? Ella, what time does your alarm go off? I don't really have an alarm. I just wake up at 8. 8. You told me that an early alarm for you would be 9 a.m. Oh, that, on a Saturday. On a Saturday, yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:52 I don't want to sound like your dad, but I feel like I sound like your dad every day. Ella, half the bloody day's gone. Yeah. At 9am, you've missed half the morning. I do remember those blissful days where you could just sleep until like 10am. If I woke up at 9am, I would have a panic attack.
Starting point is 00:29:12 Because I'd go, oh God, where am I? What flight have I missed? Why did I die? What happened to me? But you would feel refreshed, right? Am I in a coma? I don't believe my body would allow me to sleep that long. I don't think it would either. I don't think I could. I used to. I used to.
Starting point is 00:29:26 Yeah. But I think now I physically couldn't sleep to 9 a.m. if I tried. And I physically can't wake up that early. Do you have full blackout curtains? Surely the sun's streaming in at that point. I don't mind. Sometimes I sleep with my curtains open. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:29:39 Yeah. The young. Whatever. The young. The young. She's not even a big drinker. It's not even like she's ridiculously hungover. So I found an article titled,
Starting point is 00:29:47 The Art of Becoming a Morning Person, Even If You're Not Actually One. These are the four things that you need to do if you want to become a morning person. Wait, do you want to become a morning person? I tried to once. Wasn't good. It's good for productivity.
Starting point is 00:30:01 Imagine what you'd get done. No, I'd feel like a zombie for the whole week. You could change the world. It's bad. You could go to the gym. I'm not doing that. You could go for a walk. I can do that at 10 a.m.
Starting point is 00:30:12 You can read a book. I can do that at 11 a.m. You can see the sunrise. Yeah, nah. I can see the sunset. Boom, baby. All right. Well, here's the four things people who want to do it, what you need to do.
Starting point is 00:30:21 You need to lock in your wake-up time. You need to decide what time it is that you're going to wake up, and you need to wake up at that time every day. Right, what you need to do. You need to lock in your wake up time. You need to decide what time it is that you're going to wake up and you need to wake up at that time every day. Right, so you need to make it a routine. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday. Routine. Routine. If you want to become a morning person, you can't just be
Starting point is 00:30:37 a morning person on the days of the week. You have to be it on the weekend. You cannot half-ass it. No, you can't. And I reckon that's a bridge too far for some people. If they're listening now, they're like, I'd love to start the days a bit earlier, but it on the weekend. You cannot half-ass it. No, you can't. And I reckon that's a bridge too far for some people. If they're listening now, they're like, I'd love to start the days a bit earlier, but not on the weekends. This says you have to, you have to.
Starting point is 00:30:53 Sorry, babes. It says acknowledge your nature. Even if you're not an early riser, you may not wake up ready to start the day or even in a particularly good mood. The clinical term for the grogginess and grouchiness that some of us experience is sleep inertia. So if you have it, just acknowledge it and then you can work around it and you can go, I have this thing. I need to make efforts to overcome it.
Starting point is 00:31:15 Like be honest with yourself is what it says. Right. I don't really know what that does, but it says you need to do it. This one makes sense. If you want to become an early riser, you've got to rewire your brain into thinking that waking up early is a good thing. So you need to reward yourself. Every time you get up early, you need to have like a special breakfast. Or some kind of treat that you give yourself,
Starting point is 00:31:39 like you're a dumb dog, where you can just go, man, that was fun. I got my special treat if I woke up. As opposed to going, I've got to get up early. Yeah, exactly right. You need to tell your brain that it's a positive thing. But the real challenge is there is not giving yourself the reward on the days that you don't
Starting point is 00:31:55 get up early. Because you have that power as an adult to go, I'm going to have my Birch and Muesli on my 10 a.m. Yeah, I'm having the treat regardless. And the last trick is to turn mundane routines into meaningful rituals, namaste you're not punishing yourself, you are
Starting point is 00:32:11 enhancing yourself, by waking up this early, you are improving your life namaste, can we all get a kumbaya kumbaya bitch Ella, have we convinced you that you too could be a morning person if you really wanted
Starting point is 00:32:27 to be one yeah I could do it I could do anything if I tried that's a thing join us come join us
Starting point is 00:32:33 the All Blacks take off at 7.15 tomorrow morning are you going to watch it with us no because I'm doing something what are you doing
Starting point is 00:32:40 I'm sleeping ZM's Bray and Clint. With guest host, Maddie McLean. Up the Waz has taken on a life of its own. Hasn't it just? It's become the most iconic catchphrase in the country. The Warriors are in a stoush at the moment to try and trademark Up the Waz.
Starting point is 00:33:00 I know. Them and a beer company wants to take it. I thought this afternoon it'd be rude not to do the Up The Waz challenge. And how the Up The Waz challenge works is we're going to call different businesses or places or people and the challenge is to get the other person to say Up The Waz back to you. Sure. You can't just say, excuse me, could you please say Up The Waz? You need to sort of drop it into conversation and get it said back to you.
Starting point is 00:33:26 For you, I thought you could go first this afternoon. I've selected the Salvation Army Family Store. Because no one has more retro warrior's gear than a Salvation Army. Salvation Army Family Store, Echo speaking. Hi there. I was just wondering, I just wanted to talk to you about dropping some clothes off. Okay. First of all, up the whas? What's that?

The challenge laid down by me to Maddie and myself this week was get an All Black on the show today. One that's been to a World Cup before. Yep. And whichever one Ella, who
Starting point is 00:46:30 famously knows nothing about rugby, thinks is the better get, that's who wins the competition. Our All Blacks are on the phone with us in nine minutes. Before that though, and that is exciting, but I have to tell you that one of the most exciting things that's ever happened to me happened to me today.
Starting point is 00:46:48 Did it? So a few months ago, I went to the Bluebird factory for work. Yeah. Went and filmed a thing for breakfast there, got a bit of a factory tour. I love a factory. I love a chip. Where's the Bluebird factory? Out south somewhere, South Auckland.
Starting point is 00:47:04 Yeah. I can't quite remember where. But when I was there, they said to me, well, what's your favourite flavour? What's your favourite chip? And I said, thick cut, sour cream and chives. Oh, that's your favourite chip? Love them.
Starting point is 00:47:17 Took me a long time to accept the fact that salt and vinegar is the greatest chip. But it is, right? It is. It is. But I love the thick cut version of the chip. But it is, right? It is. It is, but I love the thick cut version of the chip. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:27 And I would love salt and vinegar thick cuts. Do they not do a thick cut in salt and vinegar? They don't. That is bizarre to me. They do so many other flavours. So I love the thick cut
Starting point is 00:47:37 sour cream and chives, but at the time I said to them, I don't understand why you don't do thick cut salt and vinegar. Yeah. I do not enjoy a flimsy chip. No.
Starting point is 00:47:48 I don't like a thin, I don't like those ones that we're pretending to be healthy. Because I would argue that when we make a kiwi onion dip, the chip that goes best with the kiwi onion, salt and vinegar. Yes, and thick. And thick. Because a kiwi onion, salt and vinegar. Yes, and thick. And thick. Because a kiwi dip is thick.
Starting point is 00:48:08 And so you need the robustness of the chip to be able to scoop up the dip. So I said to Bluebeard at the time, you're crazy. Why are you not doing this? Yeah. And they said, yeah, it's a fair point.
Starting point is 00:48:20 Yeah. But I kind of thought, well, of course they're going to say this. You tell that penguin. I thought, of course they're going to say this. I'm out here. They're just being nice to me. I get into work this morning to a box and it's a big box.
Starting point is 00:48:34 I open up the box and there's a note on top of the box. I open up the note and it just says, Dear Matty, you described, we listened. Have you influenced chip culture in this country? I present to you Bluebird's new thick cut salt and vinegar chips. That is one of the most impactful pieces of journalism you have done in your career to date. I am changing the world, people.
Starting point is 00:49:11 Yeah, you are. I'm changing the world. To be honest, I don't understand why they never had it. Like, why did it take you visiting the Bluebird factory to realise that Bluebird, one of the biggest chip companies in the country, had such a hole in their line-up? And that's what I said to them. I said, one of the biggest chip companies in the country, had such a hole in their line-up. And that's what I said to them. I said,
Starting point is 00:49:27 you've got thick cut. Yeah. You've got salt and vinegar. Yeah. How hard is it to, like, chuck them together? Taste test? Do we... I haven't done it yet. Can we? Should we? This is what it all comes down to, because they've farted these out as fast as possible to keep you happy. So that
Starting point is 00:49:44 you didn't do a negative story about them on TVNZ Breakfast. So have they done a good job of a thick cut salt and vinegar? That's a perfect chip. It's a good crunch. It's a good amount of salt and vinegar. It's a good amount of crunch. Ella is mouthing to me through the window, I want some. So I know it's a good chip. And it's thickouthing to me through the window I want some
Starting point is 00:50:05 so I know it's a good chip and it's thick and you know how I love it thick Clint oh boy do I know how much you love it thick well done man proud of you thank you
Starting point is 00:50:16 that's a good job well done on the shelves next week ZM's Brinkland with guest host Maddy McLean we're the home of aviation news here on The Brian Clint Show. Did you know that?
Starting point is 00:50:27 Has that broken into news circles yet, that The Brian Clint Show is the leading source of maritime and aviation news? I was aware. I've heard the fantastic sound effects that have gone along with it sometimes as well. I knew that. I was just asking for the kudos. That's why I'm bringing this article to you. What do all the rules on the plane mean?
Starting point is 00:50:45 You know how you have to put your seat up and all that stuff. I'm so aware and I'm so annoyed by it. The first one, why do you have to put your tray table up before landing? Do you know? No, I don't. You don't know. This is the obvious one to me. I assume everything is to do with blocking.
Starting point is 00:51:01 Yeah. And so if you have to evacuate, there's a clear path to get out. Yeah. That'll make sense, right? But why do you have to keep your window shade up during takeoff and landing? Why? It says, should the lights go out unexpectedly, your eyes will adjust to the environment far quicker
Starting point is 00:51:17 than if you were sitting in a window with shaded darkness. That can't be right. Because it's so... So why do I have to put my window up at night? That's so adamant you have to have it up. Yeah, it's for visibility, it says. Okay, why can you not stow things under the seat in front of you? Oh, why do you have to stow the things under the seat in front of you?
Starting point is 00:51:38 Is that again like a blocking of the... It says a lightweight handbag might not seem all that dangerous on its own, but when a plane is plummeting at high speeds or hitting severe turbulence, it can easily turn into a missile, which can seriously harm you or fellow passengers. And so the thing doesn't go flying around the cabin. They are very specific as well, because if you're in an emergency exit row,
Starting point is 00:51:59 you can't even stow anything under the seat in front of you. No. It has to go in the overhead bin. Yeah, so it doesn't fly around the cabin. Yeah, right. Why do you have to put your phone in flight mode? That feels like an old arbitrary rule. It is.
Starting point is 00:52:14 It says, admittedly, there's little evidence that phone signals can interfere with plane navigational instruments at all, but the airline industry insists on the precaution because it's better to be safe than sorry. To me, though, it just seems like such a dangerous thing, right? Because they are saying the plane could crash if you left your phone on.
Starting point is 00:52:38 Well, cool. Don't let me bring the phone on the plane then. So I'm relying on the 150 other people to not put it on? I know so many people that don't put it on to flight mode. The honesty box policy. I've forgotten to put it on flight mode. Totally. So many times.
Starting point is 00:52:52 It was like, oh, whoops. Oh, well, we crashed. And then I got a text in the air. And I'm like, you fly over somewhere where your phone picks up reception, you start getting all your messages. You go, oh, shit. And the last one, why do they dim the cabin lights for takeoff and landing? Why is that?
Starting point is 00:53:08 Same thing. So your eyes can adjust if the power goes out. Weird, eh? I don't mind the dimming of the lights. It's quite cute. I think it's nice. I think it sets like the scene. Totally. Kind of like at the beginning of a movie. Right? Yeah. Well, there you go. That's why the rules are there. It doesn't say anything about
Starting point is 00:53:24 the brace position, because I'm pretty sure if a plane crashes, me putting my head between my knees is not going to do jackal. No. The man survived because he was able to stick his own head in his lap. Flexibility saved that man's life. But not the other 300 passengers aboard the Boeing 747. He died. We found him dead. But his head other 300 passengers aboard the Boeing 747. He died. We found him dead, but his
Starting point is 00:53:47 head was weirdly between his knees. Kinky. ZM's Franklin. With guest host Maddie McLean. And that's the end of the show and the end of the Maddie and Friends week on ZM. The Maddie and Friends fortnight, arguably.
Starting point is 00:54:04 Sorry PJ, but someone put in twice as much effort. I was here the whole time. Where were you, PJ? Yeah, raising your baby or some shit, PJ. Hey, it's been really fun. It's been great having you here. It's always great having you here, so thank you for filling in. You're so welcome.
Starting point is 00:54:21 I'm so ready for a big weekend of sport. You are not! I found out this week that Maddy's never been to an All Blacks game. Never. I said to him, it came about because I said to him, oh, you've got an All Blacks jersey, don't you? And he goes, no, I don't have an All Blacks jersey. I've got a Hufflepuff Quidditch jersey.
Starting point is 00:54:38 It's the closest I have to coming to sports merch. I don't know why I was so surprised. I think it's because I have 11 All Blacks jerseys. That's too many. Can't you just part with one and give one to me? Do you want one though? No, when would I ever wear it?
Starting point is 00:54:53 I would give you a jersey if I knew you wanted it. I'd wear it if I was cosplaying as a mask. You'd wear it on that night. Ryan, Richie McAwesome is here. How's your tackle, Ryan? You can put your hands on the ball in this ruck. Do not desecrate this sacred weekend of sport. Up the waz, Up the blaz.
