Hi everybody, welcome to the Bree and Clint podcast where Matty is still here filling in for Bree. He's here for the whole week.
Matty, I've received a DM from your partner Ryan.
Oh God.
So today on the show we found out, um, what's the word I'm looking for?
Disability is too strong a word. You can't do fart noises.
I can't.
You can't do anything tongue based.
No, I can't.
Wow.
Whoa.
Ew. By that I mean he can't. You can't do anything tongue-based? No. Oh, whoa.
By that I mean he can't roll his tongue.
I can't roll my tongue.
I can't make the noise.
Can you whistle?
Yeah, can you whistle?
I can whistle vaguely.
I'm not great at whistling.
Whistling's all about the tongue.
Oh, yeah, you can whistle.
Oh, no, you're not really.
But trying to make the fart noise? Whistle.
Don't touch the microphone.
He's going red.
I don't know what.
I don't know what it is.
So this is the message that we received from your partner, Ryan.
I think it's important for you to know that Matty can't do any of the normal weird things.
He can't go cross-eyed. No, I can't go cross-eyed. He can't roll his tongue.ty can't do any of the normal weird things. He can't go cross-eyed.
No, I can't go cross-eyed.
He can't roll his tongue.
I can't do that.
And he can't make the horse clicking noise.
No.
Anastasia, do the horse clicking noise.
No.
You can't do that.
Oh, like...
Yeah, that one.
Yeah, I can't do that.
Get over here, horse.
So if you had a cat,
you wouldn't be able to go...
You can't do that? Is that it? Yeah, I can't do that. Get over here, horse. So if you had a cat, you wouldn't be able to go... You can't do that?
Is that it?
Can you quack?
No, I can't do it.
Oh, God, no.
Have you just seen me?
How do you do a toss?
Can you go...
Yeah, I can do that.
Go on.
Come on.
Oh, that's all right, I guess.
Yeah.
Wow.
My tongue, my mouth do weird things.
What can I say?
Yeah, it does.
Whoa.
But not that kind.
Right.
Okay.
But it's not related to your eyes.
You're just facially challenged.
Very.
Yeah, right.
Should I show you me trying to go cross
side it looks very visual oh oh oh oh no no no don't do that it looks like you're going into a
coma they're rolling back in your head that was scary this is how you teach someone to go cross
side follow my finger yeah i do this and it doesn't work just follow it as long as you can
so i'm about a meter away closer closer they're drifting it a little bit
no then i drift back out and then i lose it well you can't do it oh you know i've known you for
14 16 years and i didn't know that you were this challenged can you um bit of a task midi is there
any like juicy goss or embarrassing stories don't say them now we can probably save them for the
show another day or tomorrow's podcast but can you think of a few good stories that we could share?
Oh, like about?
Of Clint, yeah.
Oh.
I'm fascinated to know what he was like at B-School.
Nah, just a normal cool guy.
I do not think that is true.
Just a sexy, cool 18-year-old from Rotorua.
No part of 18-year-old Clint sounds sexy.
Yeah, he was none of the above.
Sideburns Oh no
Hadn't found face wash yet
So very oily
Oh yeah
I mean to be fair no one
No 18 year old guy is at their peak
To be fair
No one in 2004
Was hot Like I don't understand this instagram generation that's
the thing yeah why are they all hot and you need to go through your unattractive uncool
you need to go through that phase when people aren't taking 10 photos a day as well
like you need to be able to do it off the grid. And you need to do it
with a Polaroid camera.
Where the photos are blurry
and you can't make out
any detail.
And you haven't been able
to see what photo
you've taken
so people have got
their eyes closed.
Not with VSCO
where I can sharpen
the picture of you.
There's none of that.
So weird our kids these days
like they're dressed so well
they have such nice
like girls for example they have such nice girls for example, they have such nice
makeup and stuff, where do they get their cool clothes from?
I don't know, it doesn't
bode well for their future self
we've got like a panel of interns here
now, who are working at ZM and they're like
19, 20
they wear like beige shoes and stuff
when I was a student, I could not
afford anything other than $100
I had a studded
belt when i started when i was an intern that's cool it was rusty the brand rusty and i bought
it especially and i wasn't cool at all i was still wearing novelty jj's t-shirts yeah yeah
i had a novelty jj's t-shirt that said liquor
it's an L-I-Q-U-O-R
liquor she'll love it
and I wore it thinking it was an appropriate
t-shirt to wear to work
I had one that said big cock
I had big cock
yes I had big cock as well
and I wore it and I was like wouldn't you like to know
and no lady ever would like to know
guys welcome to 2005 Anastasia And I wore it and I was like, wouldn't you like to know? And no lady ever would like to know.
Guys.
Welcome to 2005, Anastasia.
Far out.
Yeah.
I need to find my big cock t-shirt.
Hopefully mum's still got it.
She's like, Clint loved this t-shirt.
I need to find my big cock.
Do we need to put a warning in there? Can we delete that?
Say it again
Say it again and I'll beep it for you
On that note
We'll start the podcast everybody
Enjoy
And if anyone's seen Matty's big cock
Please get in touch.
Hey, Google.
What's the time?
It's 3 p.m.
Give or take a minute.
Alexa, play ZM on iHeartRadio.
Playing ZM on iHeartRadio.
Hey, Siri, when are Bree and Clint on?
Bree and Clint are on air in five, four, three, two, one.
Kia ora, everybody.
Welcome to the show.
Bree and Clint with Maddie again.
Hi Maddie.
Hi.
We're just brainstorming, crowdsourcing my attempts at flirting with my wife.
And I mean, I put it out there to the group.
My wife just put up an Instagram story of her hair that she's just had done.
And I floated the idea of replying with hubba hubba.
And I quite liked that.
Yeah?
Is that creepy? Is that. Yeah? Is that creepy?
Is that peesty?
Or is that?
I mean, potentially creepy if you're messaging it to someone you don't know.
But you are married to the woman.
Yeah, I am married to her, yeah.
Yeah, I woke up next to her this morning.
You're right.
So hubba hubba's all right?
I think it's all right to go with that.
What about giggity?
Yeah, that's creepy.
What about mmmm yum?
Oh yeah Right well if anyone's got any ideas on how I can
How to flirt
Yeah how to flirt
How to flirt with the woman you're married to
We've been seeing each other for seven years
It's going pretty well
I'm ready to take things to the next level
Today on the show
Two chances at ZM's Secret Sound,
plus a special Secret Sound announcement happening at about 4.25 this afternoon.
This is exciting.
Yeah, don't want to say too much because Soundkeeper Ells doesn't actually know about this yet.
No.
But if you're following along with Secret Sound intently,
you're going to want to be a part of this.
You don't have to do anything, but don't miss it.
It's at 4.25 today after the first guess at 4 o'clock.
People are ready, right?
Yeah, people are ready.
The whole thing's ramping up.
All of the clues are up on the ZM Secret Sound Instagram page,
which is the best way to keep up to date with all these.
They're all on our website,
but if you follow the Instagram account,
they'll just go into your feed and Elsa's little videos
and perhaps there's clues in those
videos as well of stuff in the background.
That's happened before is all I'm saying.
You've got to be clever to figure those out though.
I got a DM today from a friend who said,
Hey Clint, I've got a friend who's
positive she knows what the secret sound
is. What are the chances of sneaking
her up the queue to come on air
for a guess? And I said zero.
Like literally zero. You can't do that. You can't jump the queue to come on air for a guess. And I said zero. Like literally zero.
You can't do that. You can't jump the queue
in Secret Sound. But that's how intense
it's getting. People are now coming to me directly
asking if they can get off their guess.
Thinking you're going to give them a helping hand and you're like,
there's no way. There's no chance.
So, four o'clock, the first guest, but we're going to
kick the show off with Tradiverse Lady. You wanted
a score update yesterday. I didn't think we knew
the score. We have a score update for Trad didn't think we knew the score we have a score
update for Tradie vs Lady
apparently
I'm so pleased
thank you Ben
you've done
God's work today
thank you so much
it's been running
basically the whole year
currently the Tradies
are at 13 games
and the Ladies
are at a whopping
18 games
so it's near on a
landslide to the Ladies
maybe the Tradies
claw one back today
if you want $50 cash
then you've got to
beat the other person and you've got to beat the other person
and you've got to call up now to play.
Oh, $800 at the end.
Bree and Clint. Time for tradie
versus lady.
Bree and Clint.
Tradie versus lady.
Okay, it's a battle
of wit. One tradie versus
one lady to score for the year. The ladies have
18 and the tradies have 13. So this is, you know, the tradies need to win. The tradie versus one lady to score for the year. The ladies have 18 and the tradies have 13.
So this is, you know, the
tradies need to win. The tradies need to win to stay
competitive, otherwise this thing is going to race away.
So let's meet our tradie first. He's 35
and he's a joiner from Auckland.
Welcome to the show, Gordon.
Hey, Gordon.
Hey, guys. How's it going? Are you the man
to claw it back for the tradies today?
Oh, mate, let's bring it home.
Let's bring it home.
Let's bring it home.
You're competitive, I can tell.
Let's join other dots.
Mate, fake it till you make it.
All right.
Terrible joke from me.
Let's meet our lady.
She's 26 and she's just had her first baby.
It's Abby.
Hi, Abby.
What did you have?
I had a little boy.
Congratulations.
What's his name?
His name's Spencer.
Spencer.
That's a great name.
Okay, you're playing for Spencer, all right?
This $50 is going to fund his future.
Okay, it's a real test to the mum brain.
That's the one.
Your buzzer, Abby, is lady.
Gordon, yours is tradie.
And Maddie has got the questions.
First to three, good luck, everybody.
Okay, question number one.
The Air New Zealand flight attendant
who tested positive for COVID-19 on
the weekend has the Russian variant
of the virus. Name the
Disney movie starring a Russian
princess.
Oh, no Disney fans amongst
us. I'll give you a clue.
The title of the film is
the same as the name
of one of our show producers.
We're going to buzz you out.
That was Anastasia.
Come on, guys.
Anastasia.
Anastasia.
That's okay.
Zero all.
Here comes question number two.
Okay, question number two.
Two men were left clinging to a chilli bin
after being thrown from their boat in rough seas.
What do Australians call a chilli bin?
Tradie.
Gordon.
Esky.
Correct.
Nice work.
Or we would have also accepted a tinny bucket.
Tinny bucket.
But they're weird over there, so cool.
All right, one to the tradies.
Okay, question number three.
America's Cup racing starts tomorrow.
What colour socks do Team New Zealand supporters wear?
Tradie.
Lady.
Gordon.
Red.
Yes.
You're up, Gordon.
You can win the game here.
Come on.
Okay, question number four.
Disunity, leaks and poor behaviour have been listed as the key reasons
National lost last year's election
Who is the current leader of the National Party?
Abbey, to get back in the game
Abbey
Oh my god, my mind's on blank
Oh no, we're going to buzz you out, Abbey
Three, two, one
Oh, mum brain's really kicking in
Gordon, would you like a free guess?
Yeah, sure.
It'll be the Honourable Judith Collins.
There she is.
The trainees are down but not out.
Well done, Gordon.
We got 50 bucks for you.
Awesome, guys.
Yeah.
Sorry, Abby.
Oh, that's good.
It failed me.
Oh, mate, say sorry to Spencer, okay?
Oh, yeah. I. It failed me. Oh, mate, say sorry to Spencer, okay? Oh, yeah.
I had something really mortifying happen to me.
Yes.
I ordered an Uber,
and usually I'm really good at checking the licence plate
and knowing exactly where the Uber is
and when it's going to arrive at my front door.
But I was in a bit of a hurry.
I kind of was grabbing things and running out the door.
And so I knew that the car would be waiting for me
when I got out my front door.
I got out my front door.
I saw a car parked outside.
It was a Toyota Prius.
And I went, well, that's going to be my Uber.
That'll be the Uber.
So I jumped in and started making small chat with the Uber driver.
And then he turned around, looked at me and went, what are you doing? Jumped in and started making small chat with the Uber driver. Yeah.
And then he turned around, looked at me and went,
what are you doing?
And I said, oh God, is this not my Uber?
And he said, this isn't an Uber.
I'm not an Uber driver.
He's just a guy in a Prius.
He's just a guy parked outside my house in a Prius.
Do you not do that?
Because I always do this when I get in the Uber.
I always go, Uber for Clint?
That's my default.
Everything that I would usually do, I didn't do
on this particular occasion.
And I ended up in this mortifying
situation where I just let myself
into some random dude's car.
I think you've got to get
out of jail free here because I don't
know that there are any Prius
out there that aren't Ubers.
Short of Leonardo DiCaprio's one because he's got a Prius.
Does he actually?
Yeah, but maybe he moonlights
as an Uber driver as well.
Okay.
We put the call out there
to say,
do you own a Prius
and you're not an Uber driver
to see if these people exist.
And you didn't think
anyone would call?
No, I genuinely thought
we were going to get no calls
and yet we've got Libby
called through.
Hi, Libby.
Hi.
You drive a Prius and you're not an Uber driver.
I legit drive a Prius and I'm not an Uber driver.
You're not a taxi driver?
No, I'm not. You're not a Zoomy driver?
I'm saying that I have a red Prius,
so I'm not sure whether that counts
because I feel like Ubers are always like silver or white.
I've never seen a red Prius.
I've never thought about it before, but I've never seen a red Prius. I've never thought about it before.
But I've never seen a red one.
They are always silver.
You're so right, Libby.
Okay, so does this happen to you?
What Maddie's done by confusing just a standard Prius driver
for an Uber driver, does that happen to you regularly?
No, I've never had it happen.
I've been waiting for it because I'm like,
I got given this car, right, and I'm thinking,
look, I'm going to look like a proper Uber driver. Yeah, yeah. And I expect had it happen. I've been waiting for it because I'm like, I got given this car, right? And I'm thinking, look, I'm going to look like a proper Uber driver.
Yeah, yeah.
And I expect it to happen.
I'm sure it will happen one day, but not yet.
Well, if it does, it's a great way to make a cash in, you know?
Just like, oh, where are you going?
Exactly.
Also, if you go near like Courtney Place or Queen Street
or something on a Saturday night, lock your doors, okay?
Oh, good thing I don't live in Auckland then.
Yeah, right?
They'll be climbing in.
We've actually got another one.
We've got Celtic on the phone.
Hey, Celtic.
Hello there.
You are a Prius driver who's not an Uber driver.
Yes.
So I originally bought the Prius with no intentions on becoming an Uber driver,
and if I'm just parked on the side of the street,
people will come up to me and hop in like you have done previously yourself.
So it does happen, random to get in the car thinking that you're their Uber.
Yep.
I do have a dangly thing from my back view mirror,
so that doesn't help as well.
Is part of you tempted when they get in to go,
look, I'm not an Uber driver, but if you've got any cash,
let me know where you need to go and I'll just run you there now.
Yep, no more than five
kilometres, so quick and easy.
Oh, you actually do do it?
Once, but they were
very drunk.
Love it. Thanks, Celtic. Appreciate it. Oh, by
the way, how good's the Prius?
Very fuel efficient.
Yeah, very fuel efficient.
He's saving the environment
It's currently
Almost 20 to 4
Almost
For normal people
Too late for a coffee
Right
For some people
Not too late for a coffee
I could quite happily
Have a coffee now
I love
An afternoon coffee
Yeah
But I mean
We went and got coffee
You and I went and got coffee
About
Just before the show started, about quarter to
three. I've been wanting to produce it, Anastasia,
and she said, oh no, no, too late for me. If I have one
now, I'll never go to bed.
Which I think is, I think it's more of a
Gen Z thing. I think she's still got that
natural energy going on. Yeah,
that's true. You're weak. I will be up all night.
You're weak. Oh, what?
This is my coffee fiends
out there, like you and me, Matty.
I drink multiple a day.
Yeah.
And I'm nervous about this.
So this is a coffee fact that might scare you out of coffee.
It's from TikTok, but it's from a doctor.
Okay.
Can I just say, I get up at 3.30 in the morning.
Yeah.
So this fact has to be absolutely mind-bogglingly terrifying
to put me off coffee.
It's more gross than anything.
Right.
Okay?
It's by a guy on TikTok called Dr.
What's his name?
Dr. Karanan is his, if you want to search him up.
He's actually very good.
I hope that all these doctors that I follow on TikTok
are real doctors.
They're not just guys in scrubs.
But I believe this guy.
Doctor in quotation marks
yeah doctor
he's done a series
on coffee
which is like
the best time of day
to drink your cup of coffee
and stuff like that
but this here
is a gross coffee fact
and I want to know
if this is enough
to put you off coffee
have a listen
if you drink coffee
you're also consuming
cockroaches
pre-ground coffee
like you get in most stores
contain ground up cockroaches
a certain percentage
of coffee beans
become infested
with cockroaches and other insects.
Though they just get roasted and ground up with the coffee beans.
Most food authorities allow certain percentage of bug pots in our food.
Cockroaches are high in protein.
If you're allergic to cockroaches, I'd stay away from pre-ground coffee.
There's cockroaches in your coffee.
Not all coffee, not all coffee.
Like if you buy your own beans and grind your own beans, then you
can see in the beans that there's no cockroaches
in there. I don't do that. You don't do that? Okay, if you
buy the pre-ground stuff, then they're saying
apparently there's a high chance that there's
cockroaches in there. I like the idea that
there's an acceptable level of cockroach as well.
There's some like, they're like
weighing it up and they're like, alright, this shit is
a 90% bean,
10% coffee,
no, 10% cockroach.
Send it through.
We're good to go.
We're good to go.
Yeah.
So, Mr. I wake up at quarter to four in the morning and I live off three cups a day.
Is cockroaches in your coffee enough to put you off?
Feed me the bugs.
Bree and Clint.
Maddie's here filling in and it's time for the latest.
From iHeartRadio, this is The Latest.
Live from LA with Dean McCarthy.
Dean, The Rock has talked about some of the injuries he's sustained
over what is a pretty long career, actually.
He's been around for ages, hasn't he?
Yeah, he sure has.
It is a very long career, actually.
Of course, starting as a wrestler and becoming a movie star,
he transitioned between the two.
Here's the thing, right?
He looks invincible, right?
We can all agree that he looks invincible.
He is not invincible.
He has gone on social media and he's listed some of the injuries
that he's overcome over the years.
Have a listen to this.
This is going to make your whole entire spine just tingle.
He has had four knee surgeries, a torn quadriceps off his pelvis,
a torn abdacta off his pelvis, triple hernia surgery.
He's wrapped it in his Achilles tendon.
He's had three lower back disc herniations.
Look, I should not become a medical advisor because I should stick to the Kardashians,
shouldn't I?
Because I don't know how to say these words.
But what I will tell you is this.
He has really done a number on himself.
He's gone on social media.
Go and check it out.
He's laying down.
He's getting like acupuncture in the back
to prove that he's not actually made a steal,
even though he looks it.
And this is why I don't work out.
You know?
It's too risky.
Just stick to the couch.
Yeah.
Yeah, you know?
I've seen that post.
He does that cupping thing
Where you get the suction cup
And they light the fire inside it
And then it's meant to suck
The toxins out through your skin
Sonny Bill Williams does this too
And I look at The Rock
And I look at Sonny Bill Williams
I think I saw Art Green do it as well
There's got to be something in it
Or am I just being a sucker
Am I being sucked in
You're being totally sucked in
It looks like he's got 45 hickeys all over his back.
But it's sucked out the toxins.
That's very medical doctor kind of, yeah.
I think it's actually like Chinese herbal medicine science,
the cup sucking one.
Yeah.
Again, I don't actually know either.
Yeah, there you go.
That's what the rock has had to suffer.
And good on him because he looks fantastic and he will never die or something.
He's invincible.
He's invincible, like Dean said.
That's the latest with Dean McCarthy live out of Los Angeles.
Bree and Clint.
ZM, Bree and Clint.
With Maddie filling in for Bree, Bree's back next week.
The secret sound after a very, very involved guest that we just had
is not the sound of a car ignition starting.
Okay?
That is not the secret sound.
But there's another guess available at 5 o'clock if you know what it is.
And there's a surprise for Sanky Burrells coming up in about 10 minutes.
Okay?
10, 15 minutes.
Before then,
Matty is here filling in for Brie,
like I said.
You know Matty
because he presents
the weather every morning
on TVNZ Breakfast.
You're a celebrity weatherman.
Well, thank you
for calling me that.
Yeah, absolutely.
You're a great weatherman.
Yesterday,
we put the challenge to you.
People call up,
they tell you
where they live
and off the top of your head,
you have to correctly forecast
their weather tomorrow.
Correct. And you nailed it. I got three out of three your head, you have to correctly forecast their weather tomorrow. Correct.
And you nailed it.
I got three out of three.
You got three out of three.
Because I'm that good.
And I was like, too easy.
Today we have to change it up.
So today the game is back, but today people are going to tell you the weather,
and you're going to tell them where they are.
All right, we've flipped it.
Oh, my gosh.
If you get it correct, the people win free KFC chicken dollars.
If you get it incorrect, they win nothing.
Okay, here's the hard thing though.
New Zealand's a big country.
It is.
There's a lot of places with very similar forecasts.
Yeah, we found that out yesterday.
Yeah.
So that's the challenge, right?
You can ask them questions about their weather though.
Okay.
And we'll see how close we can get.
Three from three yesterday. How are we going to go together? First, Marie's here their weather, though. Okay. And we'll see how close we can get. Three from three yesterday.
How are we going to go together?
First, Marie's here.
Hi, Marie.
Hi.
Now, don't tell us where you live, okay?
You can't do that.
But tell Maddie, what's the weather like today?
It's a bit overcasty, windy.
Okay.
22 degrees, about.
22 degrees.
Okay, so I know that it was cold down south today.
Yeah.
It's a bit of a southerly change coming through,
so I'm picking you're not down south.
Cloudy.
Light winds, Marie, or stronger winds?
No, light winds.
Light winds.
Any rain?
Any little showers?
Any light showers?
On and off, maybe.
Right.
Okay.
On and off showers.
Not heavy showers.
Okay.
I'm going to need you to lock in a location for Marie.
I reckon you're in the...
Come on, Maddie.
I reckon you're in the Waikato.
Yes.
Are you in Matamata?
No, Maddie. Where are you? Yes. Are you in Matamata? No, Matty.
Where are you?
Hamilton.
Oh, the big Matamata.
Oh, well.
That's close, though.
We'll see.
We'll see.
Let's go to Mindy.
Hi, Mindy.
Hello.
Now, you heard Marie's attempt.
We're going to need you to be as specific as possible with the weather today
so that Matty can zero in on where you are
and if you can correctly pick where you are
then you'll win some KFC
chicken dollars.
Okay, so it is cloudy
with a little bit of blue skies and
the sun peeking through.
A little bit of wind but not much
and the temperature has been
gone from hot to cold.
Bit hot, bit cold at times. Hot to cold. A bit hot, a bit cold at times.
Hot to cold.
Have there been any showers?
No.
No showers.
I tell you what, you get the region correct,
then Mindy wins and Marie will win as well.
But if you can then narrow it down to the town,
then we'll double the prize.
Do you know roughly what kind of temperature we're talking today?
I would say probably about 15 degrees.
Yeah.
You know where she is?
I reckon.
Okay, lock it in.
See, I think this place has a bit of a southerly change coming through.
I reckon you're in Southland.
Yep.
You're in Southland, Mindy?
Yes, I am, yep.
Okay, yeah, let's go.
So you've won double the amount.
Where is she exactly?
I'm going to go Invercargill.
Yep.
We've done it, yes!
Okay, let's see if we can do it again.
Sam's here. Hi, Sam. G'day. Hi, guys. Hi, Mad's see if we can do it again. Sam's here.
Hi, Sam.
G'day.
Hi, guys.
Hi, Matty.
Can I show how good I am?
Yeah.
Not for you, Sam.
This is for Mindy.
Mindy needs to watch out for some heavy rain tomorrow morning.
He's still forecasting.
Okay, Sam, give us the specifics of your weather right now.
What does it look like?
Okay, there's no rain.
Yep.
A little bit of wind.
Okay.
It's about 18 degrees.
Grey clouds, the sun's trying to come through,
but not much blue sky.
More grey.
Okay.
Can I ask if you're in a big city or a small town?
Because that's where I went wrong with Mindy.
I got the region right, I just got the town wrong. Okay, you're just going big city or a small town because that's where I went wrong with Mindy. I got the region right.
I just got the town wrong.
Okay, you're just going for a region at this stage.
Oh, I'm going for a region.
Go for the region first.
You get the region right, Sam will win,
and then we'll double it down if you can name the town.
Okay.
I think you're in the upper North Island.
Am I in the right vicinity?
Yes.
Okay.
Okay, not a confident yes, but we'll take it.
Yeah.
Now go for the town or city.
Okay, so maybe not far north.
Let's go a little bit further south from there.
Are you in Auckland?
Oh, you're so good, man. Oh!
Love it.
Sam gets KFC. Mindy gets KFC. And Marie, you also get good, man. Oh! Love it. Sam gets KFC.
Mindy gets KFC.
And Marie, you also get some KFC.
Congratulations.
Cool, thank you.
No worries.
There you go, three from three.
Wow.
We had to engineer it a bit.
That was bloody impressive.
So my message to Dan Corbett yesterday stands.
Screw you.
Bree and Clint. Hey, tomorrow, this is also exciting. It's exciting for me. I hope everyone's excited. stands. Screw you.
Hey, tomorrow, this is also exciting.
It's exciting for me. I hope everyone's excited.
The America's Cup starts.
Are we into the America's Cup? I think you can't not be, right? Get caught up in it?
Yeah. Anytime New Zealand holds something
you get excited. And we're pretty good at it
so there's a good chance we should
hopefully walk away with that car. Well, we think
we're pretty good about it. Pretty good at it.
We haven't seen us do any racing since last year.
That's true.
So we're hoping that we're good.
There's a quiz up at the moment, and I love these.
It's on the New Zealand Herald site, and it's which team New Zealand sailor are you?
Yeah, it's not the quiz I usually do.
I usually lean towards more of a which Disney princess are you quiz.
So this is new for me.
Matty put me onto a quiz which was which Harry Potter house do you belong in?
It was like 75 questions.
Yeah, it's long.
Yeah.
It's like a psychrometric test.
Yes.
And I was in Ravenclaw.
Ravenclaw.
Yeah, I'm a Ravenclaw.
That's right.
Yeah, I'm a Ravenclaw.
Anyway, put that aside.
It's time to figure out which Team New Zealand Sailors we are and we've all done it including the producers everybody's done the
quiz we all know which team new zealand sailor we are yeah done nobody say just yet we're going to
go around the room and see if we can figure it out we're going to start start with i think with
producer ben and we'll try and guess which yeah okay cool yeah we're going to guess we'll figure
it out as a team any clues who does anybody think producer Ben is? Any impressions
when you look at him?
Who is he on the boat?
I'm trying to remember names
because I remember
who the people are
but I don't,
I'm not.
See, I look at Ben
and I go,
behind the scenes guy,
running the show,
also a bit of a grumpy old man.
Okay.
I think producer Ben
is Grant Dalton.
I think that's who he is
on Team New Zealand.
I think in the quiz
you got Grant Dalton. Grant Dalton is a big is on Team New Zealand. I think in the quiz you got Grant Dalton.
Grant Dalton is a big man to get.
He's important.
He's important.
He's not just behind the scenes.
He is...
He runs the show.
What does he do?
He is Team New Zealand.
He's like the boss.
Does he stay on the boat though?
Nah, they took him off the boat recently.
Oh, so he's like the manager.
He's like the manager, yeah.
Ben, who are you on Team New Zealand?
I'm not Grant.
Yeah. I'm sorry. sorry it says here i'm the
grinder i thought i'd seen you on there yeah you don't even get a name you're just the grinder it
says like simon van velthoven you'd be a grinder oh you're simon van belt hoven okay great all
right congratulations he's a good man to get anastastasia. Who is Anastasia on Team New Zealand?
See, she's cool.
She's young.
She's hip.
So we're talking like a Blair Chuuk.
None of those things.
I think she's Blair Chuuk.
I think she's like the face of the boat.
I think you're Blair Chuuk.
That is very high praise, guys.
Unfortunately, just like Ben, I am Simon van Veldhoven.
Oh, you're a grinder as well.
Love being Dutch. He's Dutch, clearly. Yeah, righteldhoven. Oh, you're a grinder as well. Like, love being Dutch.
Like, he's Dutch, clearly.
Yeah, right.
True.
So, and yeah.
Yeah.
All right, congratulations.
You're in the powerhouse.
It's just a great question.
Is the grinder the one that, like, pedals like the bike?
No, there's no bikes anymore.
They turn the handles.
Oh, you turn the handles.
Yeah, yeah.
The real muscly ones.
Oh, like cool arms.
Yeah, that's cool.
That brings us to Maddie, who I believed was a grinder as well.
For different reasons.
You were dishewn.
So I had you down
as, who did I put you down as?
You're one of the grinders on the team.
Simon? No, not Simon Van
Valkhoven. I had you down as Stephen Ferguson.
Ian Ferguson's son.
Hot, strong, blonde.
That's who I've got you down as
I mean if the shoe fits right
Yeah
But I'm not
He's not
You're not a grinder
I'm not
Who are you?
According to the
Who are you on Team New Zealand quiz
Who are you?
I'm Helmsman
Peter Burling
Nice
You can't be Peter Burling
Because I'm Peter Burling
What?
I took the quiz
And I was Peter Burling
That's why you wanted to do this on air
Yeah I wanted to do the quiz Because I came out as Peter Burling. What? I took the quiz and I was Peter Burling. That's why you wanted to do this on air. Yeah, I wanted to do the quiz because I came out as Peter Burling.
That's the only reason I wanted to do this.
I wondered why I was Peter Burling until it got to the last line of the description on the quiz.
Yeah.
And it said, you like to be in the limelight.
And I thought, well, yeah.
That's me.
That's me, 100%.
Showtime.
And because you're strong and decisive.
Like me, because I'm also Peter Burling, okay? I'm the... that's me that's me 100% showtime and because you're strong and decisive exactly like me

Story of love.
Okay.
Or perhaps missed opportunity
love that could be
it comes to us today by way of
the Golden Bay
Community Notice Board on Facebook
I love Golden Bay
you and I have been to Golden Bay together
we've had a great night in Golden Bay
if you ever go to Golden Bay
go to the tavern
there's a photo of Maddie on the wall
with the owner
because she was so excited to meet you.
It's hung next to her picture with Billy T. James.
So me and Billy T. James line the wall of the Golden Bay Tavern.
So here's the message which is up currently
on the Golden Bay Community Notice Board.
It's titled Missed Connection.
Right.
Oh, so someone that's seen someone and didn't make a move.
Yeah, totally. It says Missed Connection. Right. Oh, so someone that's seen someone and didn't make a move. Yeah, totally.
It says Missed Connection.
You farted in Fresh Choice yesterday.
You were tall, cute and blonde.
A woman that farted in the bread section yesterday afternoon.
I was the tall guy next to you that looked over and asked,
was that you?
You quickly replied, no, it wasn't meat. Oh my God.
I tried to get rid of the stench by waving two loaves of sourdough bread.
You proceeded to storm off angrily.
You are beautiful.
And even if you are a liar and fart like a Clydesdale,
I'd love to meet up.
So if you farted in the Golden Bay Fresh Choice,
someone's desperate to find you.
That is like a modern day Mills and Boone.
Free in Clint.
We were having a chat during the
ad break on breakfast this morning. Jenny
May, former
silver fern netballer. Yeah. Former cop.
Yes. She's got a very rich life.
She's an inspirational person. She's incredible.
It's also my cousin.
By marriage. Is she really? Yeah.
I didn't know that. Yeah. New Zealand day. There you go. You learn. Is she really? Yeah. I didn't know that.
Yeah.
New Zealand, eh?
There you go.
You learn something new every day.
Yeah.
We were talking in the ad break,
and yesterday she actually had to take,
because she's got twin boys, they're four,
and she actually had to take one of them to hospital.
Yeah.
This is a,
the story's good, but I'm just giving you a wee warning
It's a little bit
Gross
We can handle gross
He was constipated
Badly though
Enough that she needed to take him
Not funny
He's fine now so we can tell the story
We can tell the story
But she had to rush him
to hospital. Oh wow, that bad.
That bad. Really bad stomach pains.
So they took him to hospital, did some
checks, realised it was just
constipation, and ended up giving him an
enema. Oh really? A four year old
an enema. To get it moving. To get it moving.
Did the trick. Everything
that it needed to do. Yeah, I imagine it would.
Once you get in there and you know.
But then they went up and met up with
her husband
and the other four year old twin
boy and of course the boys started
chatting as four year old twin boys would
do and the one that hadn't
gone to hospital wanted to know what had happened when
the one that did go went.
And so very loudly
in the cafe
the four year old started regaling
the story of a pipe
being put up the bum,
special water being squirted up
the bum and then the water
now I can't make this noise
can you
make it like a farting noise with your tongue?
Oh yeah. Like that.
You can't make that noise.
That's a separate story.
I can't do that.
Well, you can't go, no.
Right.
But the four-year-old could.
The four-year-old did that.
Right.
And then continued to repeat the story over and over again.
As you would, though, as a four-year-old,
because it's not gross to you.
No, it's great.
It's exactly what's happened to you that day.
And anything to do with bums, farts,
great content for a four-year-old.
Totally, right in your wheelhouse.
Exactly.
Yeah.
But not so great for Jenny May,
who had to sit there being like,
shut up, stop telling the story.
Because it's funny with kids too,
because you don't want them to actually be embarrassed about themselves.
No, because it's a bodily function.
It's a bodily function. You need them to actually be embarrassed about themselves. No, because it's a bodily function. It's a bodily function.
You need them to talk to you about it and that sort of thing.
But at the same time, you don't want it to be dinner table conversation.
No.
So where's the line?
Especially if you've just taken them in for a hospital-induced enema to relieve their constipation.
You kind of got to give them that one.
You kind of got to go, yeah, all right, this brunch is for you.
You've earned the telling of this tale.
Yeah. this brunch is for you you've earned the telling of this tale yeah but it still doesn't
make it any easier
when kind of
Shirley from down the road
is sitting at the cafe
next to you
listening to your boys
have to tell this story
trying to tuck into
her chocolate mousse
exactly
it would happen though
my daughter Tui
doesn't really have
sentences yet
so we haven't
encountered that yet
it'll come
it'll come
but I think the saying
is true
that kids say
the darndest things. My niece
Indy has learned a couple
of swear words that she knows the context
to as well. Oh, she can put them into a
sentence. Absolutely. Yeah. Absolutely.
See, that's exciting for the right kind of parent. You're like,
oh my God, my little girl's growing up.
And as an uncle with
no responsibility, we love it.
Yeah, it's not your problem.
Let's take the stories to air this afternoon.
Let's get some kids saying the darndest things stories on air.
And it doesn't matter if your kid was being inappropriate, rude.
If it embarrassed you or anyone else in the vicinity.
We'd love to hear your stories this afternoon.
Oh, $800 at M.
Or you can text them in to us as well on 9696.
And we'll get your kids' stories on here.
We were on breakfast this morning and during an ad break,
we just chatted about life and what's going on in our lives.
And Jenny May told a story about her son who needed to go to hospital.
He got an enema.
Yeah.
He's very young.
Very young.
Four-year-old boy.
And then went back home or back to a cafe afterwards,
met up with his twin brother and regaled the story
about a pipe going up his bum, special water going up the bum.
Yeah, yeah.
All while all of these other patrons in the cafe
were listening intently to the story.
I would find it very funny.
Hilarious.
I would love to hear the story of a constipation relieving enema as
told by a four-year-old to a four-year-old.
Absolutely. Because I think the info would be
just as entertaining as the questions. Totally.
You know? Yeah, there's real art
in telling a story like that as a four-year-old.
We want to know, when
did what the kids were saying
embarrass you? Like, what did your kids
say? And Alan's caught up. G'day, Alan.
G'day. This one happened to me, but I wasn't the embarrass you. Like, what did your kids say? And Alan's caught up. G'day, Alan. G'day.
This one happened to me, but I wasn't the embarrassee.
Right.
I was at Moana Pool in Dunedin, and you get changed,
you walk up the stairs towards the pool.
Yeah.
And I've got a bit of a beard, and I'm a rather hairy-chested
sort of fella, and this six-year-old basically said,
Oh, my God, Mum, look, it's a grizzly bear.
And the mum just went bright red.
She didn't know which way to look.
As I carried on up for a squirm.
Right, well, a hairy bearded man,
I think they do describe those as bears.
As bears, yeah, absolutely.
So the kid was actually quite accurate, Ellen.
Great story.
Thank you.
Let's go to Jess.
Hi, Jess.
Hi.
Your kids?
Was it your kids who said something embarrassing?
Yeah, it was my daughter.
Oh, my God.
I can hear the embarrassment in your voice retelling the story.
What age, first of all?
She was, I think she was about five when she said it.
But we're really staunch on swear words in the house,
so no one swears.
And she's even, like, correcting me all the time.
Mum, you said a bad word.
But anyway, like like drive quite often.
I get a bit of road rage every now and then.
So she's heard me drop the F-bomb a few times.
But my husband was tickling her and she's really good at like saying no.
And so she said, stop, Dad.
And then he didn't listen.
And she said, stop, Dad, again.
And he didn't listen again because he's like that.
And then she said, F off, Dad.
And he just looked at me and I was like,
wow, she told you.
I think she's perfectly within her rights, actually.
She tried once.
I was so proud of her.
It was a proud parent and embarrassing parent.
That's dangerous when they know the context to use it in, though.
Yeah, you've got a headstrong daughter
who knows what she wants. That's good. I love this context to use it in though. Yeah, you got a headstrong daughter who knows what she wants.
That's good.
I love this text machine that's come through.
My daughter told my girlfriend, her step-mum,
that while her boobs were bigger, her mummy's boobs were longer.
You hope that mummy didn't hear the comparison.
Because as the girlfriend, I think you'd be quite happy with that.
Absolutely.
But if the tables were turned. Andrea's here. Hi, Andrea.
Hey, guys. How are you? Good. Was this your kid that said something?
This was my three-year-old son sassing me when I didn't realise. I was popping him in
the car and I expect me to smack his head on the side of the car as you do when you
put him in the car seat. And my cousin was in the car with him. I shut the door. I said, sorry, Billy, you know, came around, sat in the front.
And my cousin was laughing.
And he had turned around and said, sorry, doesn't always make it right, mum.
And he was three.
Wow.
He sassed me once the door was closed.
Where had he picked that up from?
You know what?
I really don't know.
It's not a line you'd pulled out with your partner or anything?
I don't think so.
I really don't know where it came from.
It was just hilarious.
And it was only three total sass clubs.
That is something else.
Thanks, Andrea.
Great story.
I love this text from someone who said,
my toddler was at my grandmother's 90th birthday and he said,
happy birthday, heaven awaits you.
Bree and Clint.
Hey. It's my birthday.
It's my birthday. Bree and Clint's
birthday banger. Every day at this time
you call us, we tell you what was number one
on your 16th birthday and then the very
best one of the day gets played
in full. The first person up for birthday banger today is Jessie.
Hey, Jessie.
Hiya.
Hi.
Hey, Jessie, what was your birthday?
13th of February, 2001.
Oh, okay.
So you were 16 on the 13th of February, 2017,
and this was your birthday banger.
Iconic.
Huge.
It's a good song.
Lorde's big comeback song, Green Light.
Do you love Lorde, Jessie?
Yeah, I do.
Very cool.
And that's a good birthday banger for you then?
I think so, yeah.
Yeah, I like that.
Cool.
Okay, wait there.
Let's go to Teresa.
Hey, Teresa.
Hi.
Hey, Teresa. What. Hey, Teresa.
What day is your birthday?
26th of April, 1974.
Okay, you were 16 on the 26th of April, 1990.
And this was topping the charts.
Maddie.
How many gay icons are we going to get on Birthday Banger this week?
Not enough.
Teresa, you've got Madonna.
Do you have anyone with Madge for your Birthday Banger?
Oh, she's awesome, yeah.
That's a good song.
You would have been voguing at your 16th birthday, surely.
Oh, totally, yeah.
For some context, yesterday we ended up going with Cher, the obvious
choice, and today Madonna comes through.
Tomorrow's going to be Gaga.
That's how we're going to run the week, I think.
But let's go to Amy. Hi, Amy.
Hey, how are you? Hey, Amy,
when's your birthday? It's actually
today, so 9th of March, 1982.
Happy birthday!
Thanks. That's got to factor into
our decision making, okay? Let's
do it. You were 16th
on the 9th of March
1998, and
this was the number one song.
I love this song. It's good.
The speaking
bit at the start of it. A few
questions that I need to know.
I think I know it all.
Do you love it, Amy?
It's great.
Is it better than Madonna?
Oh, I don't know.
Yep, yep.
Is it better than Lorde?
Yes, definitely.
Yeah.
It's a real female powerhouse on Birthday Banger today,
but only one of them can win.
Maddie, who's the winner of Birthday Banger today? Oh, one of them can win. Maddie, who's
the winner of birthday banger today?
I thought it was a democracy. No, it's a democracy. It is.
Absolutely is. But who do you want to win?
I do love Madonna.
I know you do.
I think I'm going to have to go with Vogue.
You're going to choose Madonna? I'm going to go Vogue.
So I can either agree with you
or I can split the decision
which means it goes to one of the producers.
I do.
I'm very torn because I do like All Saints.
I think the All Saints song is really good.
Okay.
But does it have enough energy?
Does it have the vibe that we want?
It'll be a good sing-along for people in the car.
Yeah.
Oh, but then Lorde as well.
The Lorde song's great.
But is it too new?
You know what?
I'm going to back you in on this one.
I'm going to say day two of the show.
We had good vibes yesterday.
Let's do Madonna for a birthday banger today.
That means Teresa wins.
Well done, Teresa.
Congratulations.
Oh, yay.

Every day bone in my body was just loving that.
Straight out of 1990, that song.
Okay, okay, okay.
Taking out Lorde and the All Saints.
A few questions that I need to know.
Which would have also been great.
It would have been so good.
But Madonna is the queen.
I need to know.
Like I said, Cher yesterday.
Madonna today.
Kylie tomorrow.
Kylie, oh Kylie, I forgot about Kylie.
Gaga, and then who do we Finish the week with
Maybe Beyonce
We can only hope right
We don't pick the
Birthday bangers
You guys do
With your birthday
And we'll play it
The same time again
Tomorrow
This is interesting
There is a
Like a
You know the newspaper
Like the one roof
Newspapers and stuff
You can get
That has all the
Properties and stuff in it?
Absolutely.
Someone's found one of those inside the wall of a house
that they are renovating from 1975.
Oh, wow.
Which gives us an insight into how mental house prices really are
in New Zealand at the moment.
And if you're trying to buy your first house at the moment,
Godspeed.
I feel so sorry for you.
Yeah.
Because every dollar that you save, it must feel like the houses go up by $10.
You know?
So this is whereabouts exactly?
So specifically, the house was in Auckland.
They were renovating a house in Westmere.
Right.
Which, for those who don't know Auckland, these days, pretty flash.
It's a nice area.
Yeah.
But it wasn't always flash.
No.
And in the walls, there's this newspaper.
The date on it was November 28, 1975.
Okay.
And it shows a range of houses,
but basically houses in Auckland,
they figured out from this in 1975,
they went for between $20,000 and $50,000.
$20,000 for a three-bedroom dunga and $50,000 for a really nice...
A mansion.
Yeah, basically a really nice family home.
There's one house in there, though, that they've zeroed in on.
Right.
So they've looked at this house and they've gone,
okay, that house in particular that's for sale in this newspaper still exists.
The house is still standing.
And as it is, it looks similar.
Yeah, basically.
It might have got a new kitchen or something in it,
but basically it's the same house.
The bones are the same.
The house is in Maraitai, which is in East Auckland,
and it was built in 1965, and in 1975,
this house was 10 years old and it was for sale for $36,000.
Kim? I mean, you could only dream. You could actually only dream. this house was 10 years old and it was for sale for $36,000. Okay.
I mean, you could only dream.
You could actually only dream.
I don't even think you could get a meth house
for $36,000 these days.
$36,000 would barely pay a deposit on a meth house.
Yeah.
So that exact same house
that was in 1975, $36,000,
they have sourced the current day valuation
in that exact same house in 2021.
Currently, $1.3 million.
Which is good news if you're planning on buying a house
and then retiring on it 45 years later.
You're going to be a multi-millionaire.
It's massive.
But for people trying to buy a house at the moment, it sucks.
Yeah, it sucks.
So stay the course, everybody, and good luck.
Bree and Clint.
ZM, Bree and Clint with Maddie filling in.
That's AJR and Bang.
Tonight it goes down on TV3, the big Harry, Megan, Oprah fest, really.
We've kind of seen all the juicy bits,
but I'm still keen to watch it
and just kind of get a real sense for how salty they are,
how upset they are,
and how I really, really feel about the situation.
Because I was following the live blogs,
so you get the key points,
but there's the nuances.
Yes. In the looks. In the tone. In the tone. Because I was following the live blogs so you get the key points, but there's the nuances. Yes.
In the looks. In the tone. Yeah, and I really want to see the bit where they
mention New Zealand, because I'm from
New Zealand. And any time someone
overseas says New Zealand, I'm like
that's us, that's us,
we're there, that's New Zealand.
They know where we are. Apparently
they were going to move here. We were on the short list.
It was us and Canada.
And they went to Canada.
Who the hell chooses Canada over New Zealand
when you're trying to escape?
Dude, we're literally at the bottom of the world.
Like, no one comes here.
We're sweet.
Come here.
Anyway, that's beside the point.
It sparked a conversation
because I saw Paddy Gower talking about this last night too.
He's saying on the back of it
that it's reignited the conversation
on whether New Zealand should stay in the Commonwealth.
If there's this much like,
there's this much, excuse my French,
shoot, going down in the royal family,
like do we care?
Do we want to stay in the Commonwealth?
Are there benefits to us being in there?
And I'm keen to know what you think, Matty.
See, people pretend like they don't care.
But everyone cares about this.
Yes.
Everyone has an opinion.
Everyone is passionate.
I am a little bit of a royalist.
Yeah.
So I do love the royal family.
I still love Harry and Meghan though.
Yeah.
So I'm a little bit torn at the moment as to where my loyalty sits.
Are you excited for Charles to become king?
No.
No.
I love Liz.
Yes.
And you're keen for William?
And I'm keen for William.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Just keen for it to skip the Charles and Prince Andrew generation altogether.
So what do I do in the meantime?
Do I sit around waiting for Wills?
Or do I just go, eh, move on?
Because you can still love the royal family
and not be part of the Commonwealth.
Because here's the thing,
if New Zealand left the Commonwealth,
John Key would finally get his wish
and we'd get a new flag.
Because when you leave the Commonwealth,
you don't have the Union Jack on your flag anymore.
Here's the thing though,
I think about the people in charge
and I think about the headache of the paperwork.
Yeah.
And I just,
I feel-
Oh, you mean the paperwork involved with getting out?
Yeah.
Yeah, it's not as simple as going, baby.
Who can be bothered?
Well, it's not your job.
Don't worry about it.
I know, but I'm empathetic.
Yeah.
And I feel things for people.
Here's the reason why I think that we should stay in the Commonwealth.
And it's purely selfish.
If we stay in the Commonwealth, we get to be in the Commonwealth Games.
Yeah, right. And it's much
easier to win medals at the Commonwealth
Games than it is at the Olympics.
So if we want to get some medals and stuff,
get in the Commonwealth Games.
We'll be getting golds all over the place.
Oh, I thought you meant for yourself. I thought you were pitching yourself.
Oh, no, not for me.
No, I'm targeting
Tokyo 2022.
That ship has sailed.
I told you before that I'm going to scare you out of going live on your Instagram.
To be honest, you're going to be fine if you're not a bit of a freaky deaky.
Oh, right.
Okay.
But what if you are?
Actually, I don't know.
I haven't been to your house in a long time.
Last time I was at your house, I did a tour of your bedroom.
It's well hidden.
Well, right, okay.
Then maybe this is a warning for you or anyone else listening.
There's an Australian influencer who was doing a room tour
of a luxury hotel that she was in.
Does anybody ever like those?
You know when someone checks into a hotel and they're like,
I'm going to show you guys around the room.
No, because you just think, you asshole.
Yeah, totally, right?
It's either that or it's like, bro, the room's not that impressive.
Yeah.
It's a bed and a toilet.
We get it.
Which literally every hotel room is.
You're staying at the Bella Vista in New Plymouth,
which is wonderful, but I don't need to see it.

were some adult accessories, let's just say.
Okay.
Of the toy variety. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
