Hey dude, what's going on? It's Bree and Clint here, doing the podcast, that's what we do now, it's our way to talk to y'all.
Dammit, I almost had a rap.
You've never sounded whiter.
No, I know. I was going for like a 90s-like white guy rap.
You nailed it.
Oh, did I nail it? Okay, good.
Yeah, I got that vibe for sure.
I'm gonna throw the rap over to you. And here's what my friend Bree's got to say.
Yo, yo, listen up, because this is it.
The beat that I'm rocking is delicious.
I might have stole that from Fergie.
That was actually Will.i.am.
But yeah, you know what?
At least I tried something.
At least I was brave enough to try something, you know?
And this is how Ed Sheeran got discovered.
He was willing to give it a go, and now look at him.
So enjoy me while you've got me.
God, you talk fast sometimes. It's when I want to go
home. Oh, right.
So you want to go home
during the whole show?
Hey. I'm just kidding.
You actually remind me of some of my Italian cousins
because they talk bloody fast.
Italians always seem like they're trying to do you a deal.
I found that in Italy.
They talk to you real fast.
And not all the time they do.
I was going to say that's probably what they're doing.
A lot of them are trying to get us to go to a restaurant,
but I'm like, I need you to slow down so i can tell if you're being truthful
you know right i'm willing to take your give us an impression um oh no i don't know if i can
without sounding racialist that no i'm an italian i'm giving you permission i disagree no there's
that clip of the british nurses doing the hucker against covid19 at the moment and they're getting
roasted i'm not going to come out here while a country that is suffering
horrifically from coronavirus, and I'm not going to come out here
and attempt to culturally appropriate their fast talking.
I won't do it.
I feel like I figured out when I was younger,
my nonna only talks really, really fast when she's angry.
Oh, yeah?
Not lying?
Or maybe lying as well, but I just remember she'd get increasingly faster when she'd be like,
Brianna, why you so disrespectful?
You people quiet like a swiss.
I'll whack you in the head, you spanner dollar.
Whoa.
And then it would just get increasingly louder and faster.
It was quite scary.
And you haven't been spanked until you've been strapped with a dried piece of
homemade fettuccine, you know? Nona knew how to deal with shit. Quite scary. And you haven't been spanked until you've been strapped with a dried piece of homemade
fettuccine, you know?
Nona knew how to deal with shit.
Let's go.
Let's get out of here.
Let's play today's podcast.
Unless you've got anything you need to say, anything that's important?
Nah, never do.
Nah, didn't think so.
Here's the podcast, everybody.
Hey, Google, what's the time?
It's 3pm.
Give or take a minute.
Alexa, play ZM on iHeartRadio.
Playing ZM on iHeartRadio.
Hey, Siri, Winnebree and Quint on.
Brie and Quint are on air in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
Now, Bru, we're on air now.
How you going?
Right now.
Right now.
Hello, mate.
Right now.
Hello, mate.
How are you?
Good.
How are you?
Good.
How's your bubble?
My bubble's good.
Same old. Nothing to report here.
Have you got, you know on, I'm wondering if you've got this at your house yet.
You know on The Simpsons how Homer has got his butt cheeks moulded into the seat of the couch?
Has that happened to you yet?
That happened a long time ago for me, not even in lockdown.
But it's more in my bed.
I spend a lot of time in my bed.
Yeah, you're spending an extra four hours an afternoon
on this couch that you wouldn't normally be there to.
Yeah, well, that's true too.
It is copping a beating.
But yeah, I feel like...
The couch or the buttocks?
Both.
Yeah, right.
Yeah, both.
Do you flip your mattress?
Or not flip, but spin.
Rotate.
Rotate, yeah.
I always intend to, and I go, I'm going to do that this weekend,
and I never get around to it.
Literally, they say, I've heard, it puts multiple years on your mattress life.
Honestly, it's like sleeping in a new bed.
It is.
If you haven't done it recently, it will feel like you've got a brand new bed.
It's so good.
But then do you ever think about when you do that,
that your face is where your feet usually are?
Not until right now.
It's so gross, eh?
The good thing is that you should pivot on a position
so your butthole should always be where your butthole is.
Yeah, true.
At least your face isn't where your butt usually is.
Yeah, like a compass.
You're rotating on a point.
Because, I mean, that's pink eye.
You're a noose.
Waiting to happen.
Hey, we've got a fun show for you guys today.
Along with Birthday Banger, we're going to play Nickname Origins again today.
Plus, just up to four o'clock, we're going to cross live to a New Zealander
who's currently locked down in New York City,
who is completing the Tour de France inside his own living room.
And get this, he's never cycled before.
He's decided that he's going to ride 3,500 k's in his living room
and he's done no training for it.
What a lunatic.
Absolute lunatic.
Can't wait to talk to him.
Hey, but up next, Clint, I want to talk to people
because we've all been in lockdown for, you know, a number of weeks.
And I was having a thought because, I mean, everyone's stuck.
And I'm talking about if you're stuck in a flat with flatmates, not family, not someone
you're married to. But have you hooked up with one of your flatties?
Yeah, I have. Oh, not someone you're married to.
No, no, you're married. And someone you're not dating. I don't want people calling up
going, I hooked up with my girlfriend last night. That doesn't count.
I'd be happy for you.
But yeah, yeah, not on this occasion.
That's not what we're looking for at the moment.
Not on this occasion.
Has lockdown brought you closer to one of your flatmates?
That's what we're going to talk about next.
After Dua Lipa, we'll start that chat.
This is Don't Start Now.
Bree and Clint, ZM.
Bree and Clint.
Look, obviously lockdown, you're stuck with the same bubble for the last four weeks, Clint.
Yeah. Look, obviously lockdown, you're stuck with the same bubble for the last four weeks, Clint.
You've been with your family, your wife, Lucy, and your beautiful girl, Tui.
I can't bloody escape them.
That's why I started running.
Horrible.
I live with flatmates and I've been stuck with them for the last four weeks.
And it got me thinking about, you know, people that might live in a flat where a romantic connection may have arose.
Oh, yeah.
Do you think that has happened anywhere around the country?
A hundred percent.
You know, you're stuck with these same people.
There's no other options.
Do I think it was a good idea?
Quite likely not.
But do I think it's happened?
I think it has to have happened.
There are so many flatting situations in New Zealand that there's not the possibility that it hasn't happened in one of them.
And you know when I think it would have happened?
During like the Thursday, Friday, Saturday night flat beer pong,
which moves into flat funnels.
Yeah, which moves into slowly but surely the flatmates drift off to bed
and there's just two of you left.
And then you're like, I won't tell if you won't tell.
I just need a bit of human connection.
Yeah, right.
We're in the same bubble, you know.
Let's just burst each other's bubble, you know.
It's quite literally the saying has never been more relevant,
don't shoot where you sleep.
But you're doing all three things.
That's a gross way of saying it, by the way.
Isn't that the same?
No, that is the same.
It's a gross way.
You would have been fine with don't screw the crew is all I'm saying.
Oh, but I mean, same things, right?
I wanted to put it out there.
It might be needle in a haystack because you might not want to call up
because your flatmate's probably sitting right next to you.
I know one person who works here at ZM
who I know, for a fact,
a girl who I know for a fact has
two very attractive male
flatmates. Oh, I know who you're talking about.
And I've seen them on Snapchat
and I've seen them without their shirts on. No, she has three.
She has three. Yeah, it's her
and three really hot dudes.
So I don't understand how they could have made it this far
through the lockdown without at least something coming up, you know?
Yeah, that's true.
Let's be real.
They're only human, you know?
Everybody in that situation is only human.
She messaged me the other day and she was like,
oh, because I was asking her how things are in lockdown
and now it's all making sense because she messaged me and she goes, oh, it I was asking her how things are in lockdown and now it's all making sense
because she messaged me and she goes, oh, it's good.
Love it.
We've just been doing some cooking.
The boys just took me for a workout.
Yeah, yeah, love it.
And I was like, interesting.
That makes a lot of sense.
Yeah, although in that situation, you could have warring boys fighting over you because
you are the only, you know, assuming all the boys in the flat are that way inclined,
you are, oh my God, you could ask for whatever you wanted.
If you could manipulate yourself into a situation where all three of them
were interested in you, you could literally ask for whatever you wanted.
You want a better room?
Done.
You want less rent?
Done.
You don't want to cock for the entirety of lockdown.
This is your opportunity.
What you're describing is
prostitution. No, no, no,
it's not, no. Where you're selling yourself
for things. No, no, so long as
money does not change hands, I believe that
we're in the clear. Oh, if you're trading
things, oh, yeah,
there's some grey area. It's a classic barter
situation. I don't know if it's a classic,
but let's see, let's put it out there, 0 a classic barter situation. I don't know if it's a classic. But let's see.
Let's put it out there.
0800 dial ZM or you can text us on 9696.
Have you yourself or do you know someone who has hooked up with a flatmate during lockdown?
Yeah.
Love to hear if it's you.
Would love to hear the story.
Even if it's not you, I bet you're willing to dish the dirt
If you need to be anonymous, that's fine
We can do that for you as well
Absolutely
But we want to know people who have screwed the crew during lockdown
Right now, 0800 dial ZM
Or text us on 9696
Brie and Clint
So that thing we just talked about Brie
Which by the way, I think we shouldn't mention it just yet
The thing that we were talking about
Oh yeah, let's not mention that.
Because if you know, you know.
According to the phones, not a single person listening has done it.
Well, I call BS.
Well, we have to take you at your word, New Zealand.
You know, we have to believe you.
But if we find out after lockdown that you lied to us,
well, that's going to really be damaging for our relationship going forward.
That's all we'll say.
We'll be quite upset.
We'll be quite upset. We'll be quite upset.
But, you know, we were talking about someone that works here, Clint, at ZM,
that does live with a bunch of really attractive flatmates.
And we wanted to get them on the phone.
They're going to remain anonymous because we don't obviously want to intrude
in their life too much, although we are putting them on national radio right now.
Anonymous ZM staffer, good afternoon and welcome to the Bree and Clint show.
Hello.
Do you have any idea what this is about?
I just heard what it was about while I was on hold.
What a stitch-up.
No, it's not a stitch-up.
It's not a stitch-up.
We were just having a conversation about how people are stuck in their bubbles with their flatmates.
And we're wondering if anything has happened in any bubbles, you know, because we're all only human.
And it made us think of you, mate, because you've got three very attractive, strapping young lads.
And you're the only female in your bubble.
Yeah, we've seen the Snapchats and we're just wondering.
Yeah, we've seen the Snapchats. Has anything happened in your bubble. Yeah, we've seen the Snapchats and we're just wondering. Yeah, we've seen the Snapchats.
Has anything happened
in your bubble yet? Anonymous
ZM staff member who will remain
unnamed. I love how you say yet.
Um,
no, as of yet,
nothing. Well, not
from my end. There might be stuff going on
that I don't know about. Ooh,
okay. Alright. Okay.
All right.
What does that mean?
What does that mean?
Are they, like, working behind the scenes or something?
Well, I've actually been getting in trouble for taking too many naps during the day, so maybe.
What?
I'm napping, and there's stuff going on that I don't know about.
Are you living with your parents?
Why are you getting in trouble for napping?
No, it's genuinely because I actually do it too much.
Yeah, right, okay.
So, all right, all right.
No, that's fine, that's fine.
Well, there you go.
We just figured that you are probably
as the only female in the house
because is everybody in the house straight?
As far as I'm aware, yep.
Yeah, okay. We just think that you may be in the power seat? As far as I'm aware, yep. Yeah, okay.
We just think that you may be
in the power seat at the moment.
Like as far as whatever you want,
you may be able to use
your feminine charms
to get whatever you need.
Anonymous.
Just an idea, anonymous.
Maybe they're just waiting
for you to make a move.
How about doing that live
on the radio right now?
Just go up to your favourite one
and just plant a big kiss.
Smack a big kiss on their mouth.
That's far too intimate.
I thought you were going to make me say something.
Oh, yeah, just go up to them and go, hey, want a burn?
I'm kind of nervous about what his reply might be.
So you should go up to them and say
Hey out of everyone here
Who wants to hook up with me the most?
Chuck your phone on speaker
I'm nervous
Oh my god
I'm so excited
I'm so excited
Do you guys mind asking him for me?
Yeah sure just chuck us on speaker
Are we me? Yeah, sure. Just check us on speaker.
Are we good?
Yeah.
Hi, anonymous ZM staff members, flatmates.
Can you hear us?
I sure can.
How are you going?
Very well.
We know that you're all super attractive and we just wanted to put a little feeler out there
and we were just wondering who out of all the housemates
wants to hook up
with our friend Anonymous the most?
I can't speak for the other
two but
a lot of yes over here I suppose.
You're keen.
Why not?
I agree, why not?
Invite us to the wedding, we'll be happy.
You're welcome.
We've officially broken the ice for you guys so enjoy the rest of your Wednesday afternoon. I agree. Why not? Hey, invite us to the wedding. We'll be happy. Okay. Well, you're welcome. You're welcome.
We've officially broken the ice for you guys.
So enjoy the rest of your Wednesday afternoon.
I don't think there's much work getting done.
Am I right?
I don't think there was in the first place.
She was napping all day.
You guys are going to be working from home.
All right.
Thanks very much.
Appreciate it.
Thanks, guys.
Appreciate it.
No worries.
Brian Clint.
If you are still following the news at the moment,
which I'm sure you are
I mean there's a bit of it around
It's very hard to avoid one story in particular
Isn't it Brie?
Yes I'm so sick of reading about avocados
You know I went to New World last night actually
And avocados
I thought this was the time of the year
When they started being like $45 an avocado
But no there's still two for $3.
Really?
I mean, that's the good part of all of this.
Oh, well, that's a win.
That's a bloody win, isn't it?
Small victories.
No, of course we're talking about coronavirus.
Doesn't matter what new site you open.
Coronavirus, coronavirus, coronavirus, coronavirus.
House prices, coronavirus.
You know, that's all there is.
It's like literally every story is related.
It's like hairdos to do in isolation because of coronavirus.
What to cook at home because you're at home because of coronavirus.
Coronavirus, yeah, absolutely.
And that's why I've come up with a new game,
which I'm calling Hack the News.
Okay, it's a new game, Bree, and it's me versus you.
What we're going to do is we're going to be given
a separate news site each by producer Ellie in just a moment.
Once the news site has been given,
you need to go to that website as fast as you can, and so do I.
The first person to find a non-coronavirus-related story
on that website calls out
and then you get to present your news story.
If we believe that you are reading a real story from a real news website,
then you'll win the game.
It's as simple as that.
All right.
Sounds good.
It does rely on there being non-coronavirus based stories on that site
and we don't know if that's going to happen.
So let's go live to producer Ali
who is going to dish out the news websites
for the first ever Hack the News.
All right.
For you, Clint, I'm going to give you ABC News.
ABC News.
Yep.
And Bree, you're going to have BBC News.
Okay, very good.
I see what you've done there.
All right.
I'm off.
I'm on my computer.
I'm going to ABC.com.
Okay, I've never been to BBC News.
Is it.com.au?
Is it an Australian site?
I don't even know.
Yeah,.com.au.
All right.
Okay, here we go.
I'm looking.
Oh, no.
That's coronavirus.
No, this is it.
That's coronavirus.
ABC News.
This is the ABC TV channel.
ABC News.
Dressing up in isolation.
That doesn't count.
No, that's coronavirus.
Children draw their lockdown world
No, that's lockdown
Meet the original eco-warriors protecting the planet
Not really
We're going to need more time on this
I got one, I got one, I got one
I think
Hold on, I'm just clicking on the news headline
To take me to the story
Oh, it's quite slow
The BBC website
It is called A whirlpool To take me to the story. Oh, it's quite slow, the BBC website.
It is called A Whirlpool.
Hold on.
Now I've lost it.
The photographer sucked into a whirlpool.
Here we go.
The story about Jacob Cockle.
He was a photographer.
He went to get photos out in the ocean of a whirlpool.
He had a career that was booming.
Next minute, whirlpool strikes.
He gets sucked down into the whirlpool and he actually died.
Oh, grim story to choose, mate.
Well, Jesus, way to bring down the tone of the show.
Oh, no.
Oh, yep.
No, he did.
I thought there was going to be a happy ending, but no.
I mean, look, you don't make the news.
You're just reporting on it.
I'm just reporting the news.
I just need to confirm for your victory.
Yes.
Did he die from the whirlpool or did he die from coronavirus?
He died from the whirlpool.
She's done it.
Congratulations. There you have it.
You've successfully hacked the news. I mean, I'd rather you didn't. Whirlpool. She's done it. Congratulations.
You've successfully hacked the news. I mean, I'd rather you didn't.
I'd rather you brought us a story about puppies
being adopted or something like that.
This is quite a lengthy
story. I'm still not sure if
he did die or not.
You know, Clint, if there's one
thing I'm very good at,
it's watching a movie.
Yeah.
I mean, it doesn't take a lot of skill.
No.
But I've seen a lot of them.
Yeah, it's a hell of a claim too.
Not critiquing a movie, not making a movie,
not reviewing a movie.
You're good at watching them.
Just seeing a big array of movies myself
and I saw this article that a website posted
and it was talking about, it was a Twitter feed
where people started tweeting when companies make movies
that have the exact same plot line and they release them
in the exact same year.
Oh.
So they come out at the same time, they rip off the movie
and it comes out at the same time.
Yeah, so I found this quite interesting.
I'm like, right, so it's a movie that has the exact same plot line
and it's released in the same year.
Yeah, okay, give us some examples.
What have you got?
So I'm going to give you some examples.
So do you remember the popular film with Justin Timberlake
and Mila Kunis, Friends With Benefits?
Yeah, actually quite a good movie.
Quite a decent movie.
Do you also recall the film No Strings Attached with Ashton Kutcher and Natalie Portman?
Yes, I do.
So those two movies, both released in 2011,
and have the exact same plot line.
And almost the exact same people.
You know, like Ashton Kutcher, Mila Kunis. Well, were they
dating at the time? Did they talk about what
movies they were doing? They were like, so I'm doing this
movie where I'm pretty much, you know, like hooking
up with this person. But it's
kind of like, you know, friends with benefits. And then
Ashton's like, yeah, kind of like no strings
attached. I reckon they came up with the movie
idea together. And they're like, how do we get
paid twice? Let's go and make it with other
people. Who do you want? And then Ashton's like i want natalie portman and then uh and then mila kunis
is like fine but if you get her i get just yeah that's really interesting okay cool what else
you got cool so that's the first one uh these are both more recent films both released in 2018 that
have the same plot line bird Bird Box and A Quiet Place.
They're both set in a post-apocalyptic world.
Both features families and they both flee to mysterious
because they're getting away from mysterious creatures.
Same plotline.
Interesting.
There must be like an overarching mood of that year
and they're like post-apocalyptic.
And now look where we are, you know?
Yeah, I know.
Well, they had it right, didn't they?
Also two movies that have the same plot line also released in the same year.
1998, let me take you there, the movie A Bug's Life.
We all remember that movie.
Yeah, cute movie.
Also released in 1998 was the movie Ants. Oh,
two animated Ant movies in the same year. Exactly. Which makes you go
I understand the post-apocalyptic theme, I understand people talking about the catchphrase
friends with benefits was really big in 2011. What was huge about the Ant
in 1998? I don't know. But isn't it interesting, yeah, both
released in the same year.
Very similar plot lines.
Interestingly, those movies released the year after the film Titanic,
which was about as big as it could get.
So maybe they're like, we've got to scale it down
and then we'll go as small as possible.
Let's make movies about ants.
Can you imagine if someone tried to release a film similar to the Titanic?
They're like, okay, how can we do this?
The second biggest ship ever built.
Yeah, right.
Two movies that also were released in the same year
that have very similar plot lines.
Olympus Has Fallen.
Did you ever see that film?
No.
And White House Down, which stars Channing Tatum.
Oh, yes.
Olympus Is Down is the Gerard Butler one.
It is, yes.
Yeah, I do know it, yeah. Kind of centered around the White House and people attacking terrorists, attacking the White
House. Both both released in 2013. Very similar plot lines. Yeah, true. OK, cool. Yeah, I've got
more. There's also a couple of I guess you'd call them comedies. and they're in 2017 uh have you ever seen the movie girls trip
no it's got uh some really popular female comedians in it um i think like tiffany haddish
is one of the main stars and um there's a yeah big big female cast and then they also released
a movie called rough night which is similar, has all female comedians.
People like Scarlett Johansson are in it.
And also...
Two films where women are the stars in one year.
No, that's it.
I've heard enough.
That's enough.
No, that's enough.
That's enough.
Did Ocean's 8 get released in that year too?
Look out.
That's good.
I like that.
Very interesting.
This year, however, no movies released
You know, at all, just no movies
So technically, similar plotline
Similar plotlines
Okay, this is the game
Where you have the chance to win free mobile fuel for us
If you share your nickname
Bree and I will guess how you got it Your nickname, Origin Story And the best Origin Story is going to win win free mobile fuel for us. If you share your nickname, Bree and I will guess how you got it, your nickname
Origin Story, and the best Origin
Story is going to win that free mobile fuel this
afternoon. Yeah, I found in this game
Clint, some Origin Stories are
either really, really good,
or the others are just pretty self-explanatory.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
And the totally random ones are obviously going to catch
us off guard, but is that the best story?
We don't know.
Let's start off with, are we going to Logan first?
Is that who we're starting with?
Logan, good afternoon.
Hello, Logan.
Good afternoon, guys.
How are you?
Good, thank you, Logan.
First, let's start with your nickname.
Potato.
I know.
Potato.
He loves potatoes.
I know this.
He's got a potato head.
Mr. Potato Head.
He had Mr. Potato Head when he was a kid.
I reckon it's because his head is shaped like a potato. Okay, I actually know the answer
so I can't play this one. Yeah. Okay. How do you know it? Because Logan has messaged
me on Instagram and now I recognise his voice and his name. And so I know, I know, yeah.
Well, I'm going with... And the good news is you're right, Bree.
Yes!
Mr. Potato Head.
Oh, my God, Logan.
You're a real life Mr. Potato Head.
Logan, is it because your head looks like a potato?
No.
Oh.
Why is that?
It's because my last name's Portai.
And when everyone looks...
It's a Māori word for hat.
And when everyone looks at it, they always think
potato. And even Ellie was
saying, even Ellie was saying that she thought
it looked like potato. It does kind of look like
potato. Yeah, you're right. You should have said it was
because your head was shaped like a potato.
Hey David, welcome to the show. Hi Dave.
What's your nickname?
Dayday. Dayday?
Yeah.
Dayday, is it because his name's David?
Probably because his name's David.
Day Day.
It's one of those self-explanatory ones.
Let's get more fun than that.
It's got to be more fun.
Is it because you're a bit of a daddy?
A bit of a daddy?
A bit of a daddy?
Is that why?
I guess you could say that, yeah.
Yeah, okay.
Can we lock that in?
Do you want to lock that in, Brie?
Yeah, lock it in.
You're called Day Day because you are such a okay. Can we lock that in? Do you want to lock that in, Brie? Yeah, lock it in. You're called Day Day
because you are such a smoking hot da-day.
Is that right?
Yeah.
Yeah, okay.
Is that actually true?
Well, it's because...
So when I used to study,
I used to go with a preferred name.
And one of my tutors was like,
I was like, hi, my name's Betty.
And she was like, oh, can we change your name?
Because I call my husband that.
That's weird, isn't it?
And so she
asked what my real name was, and I was like,
David. And she was like, what about Day Day?
How does that sound? I was like, oh, whatever, because you're a fan.
Okay, alright. No, that's good. We were weirdly
accurate with that. Let's get one more from Errol.
Hi, Errol. Hi.
Good, thank you, Errol. What's your
nickname, Errol? Flynn. Flynn. Flynn you, Errol. What's your nickname, Errol?
Flynn.
Flynn.
Flynn.
Maybe it's because he's up for anything and they always say he's in like Flynn. He's in like Flynn.
I love that saying.
In like Flynn.
Oh, we're close?
Oh, we're close.
Okay.
Okay, so it's a rhyming couplet.
Is it because you eat out of the bin?
So they call you eat from the bin Flynn?
No.
Okay, actually, hang on. Lynn. My they call you Eat From The Bin Flynn. No. Oh.
Okay, actually, hang on.
Lynn.
My first name gives it away.
Errol.
Errol Flynn.
Is there someone famous named Errol Flynn? Is there a famous person called Errol Flynn?
He was an actor.
Ah.
Errol Flynn.
All right.
And a bit of a ladies' man.
He was in like Flynn.
Oh.
And Errol, do you mimic that?
Are you in like Flynn with the ladies?
Oh, I couldn't tell you that.
Hey!
That's a yes.
Errol, is that where the saying in like Flynn comes from?
Yes.
Really?
Fascinating.
I'm giving it to him.
I've learnt something today.
No, I'll give it to you too.
Sorry, Day Day and Potato Head.
We're going to go with Errol.
In like Flynn.
In like Flynn.
You've won yourself some free mobile fuel this afternoon.
Congratulations. Woo-hoo! Errol. In like Flynn. In like Flynn. You've won yourself some free mobile fuel this afternoon. Congratulations.
Woo-hoo.
Thank you.
Bree and Clint.
Very shortly, in the air will be the warming aroma of takeaways.
At level three, when they reopen and contactlessly and safely,
you will be able to reindulge your salty tooth.
Salty tooth.
And that's how we're doing
I don't get it
What was the joke?
I don't know
It just made me laugh
That's how we're doing
The great
The great fast food quiz
I love it
Yesterday Bree
You got pantsed in this quiz
And I thought you'd
I thought you would
Technically I won
Yeah actually no
Technically you did win
But you won
With a score of
Desimal effort
Yeah two from five.
Yeah, not good.
Not good.
I've got five more questions, and I've got another worthy adversary for you
in the form of Chris.
Hi, Chris.
Hi, Chris.
Hey, how are you?
Good.
You know your fast food?
Oh, yeah.
I go out most nights.
It's been a bit of a pain in thehouse in lockdown, but I'm getting there.
I can't wait to bloody go back in next week, though.
What are you excited for most, Chris?
Which takeaway do you want the most?
I'd have to say McDonald's, eh?
McDonald's? Okay.
I've got a good variety at Macca's.
This is how the quiz works.
Five questions.
Your buzzer is your name.
Best of five.
You don't need to wait for me to finish the question
either before you buzz in. But if you buzz in
and you get it wrong, the other person gets a free guess
and they can have the entire question.
Here we go, everybody.
First question
in the fast food quiz.
If you were ordering a sloppy joe, where would you
be? Bree.
Wendy's? Wendy's. Incorrect.
Sloppy Joe.
Chris, you want to have a crack at that?
Yeah, Carl's Jr.
Carl's Jr.
Incorrect.
You would be at Burger King using the code word for a BK cheeseburger with extra sauce
and extra mayo.
Really?
I did not know that.
It's a secret menu hack.
Did not know that either, Chris.
I feel quite a good we both got that one wrong.
Yeah.
Let's just forget about that one, hey, Chris?
Level playing.
Okay, that was the tester, right?
That was the tester, yeah.
Good deal.
Level playing field going into question two.
Warm up.
Question two, which restaurant's mascot is a small ginger girl with freckles?
Brie.
Brie.
Wendy's.
Wendy's is correct.
Pepe Longstockings, isn't it?
Brie's going off the basis.
If she says Wendy's for every answer, eventually it has to be correct.
Hey, it worked out well for me this game.
All right.
You're down 1-0 now, Chris.
Are you ready?
Yeah.
Okay.
I would expect you to know this one more than Brie.
But, I mean, you're still welcome to take a guess.
And you might not know this.
Jonah Lomu was the spokesperson for a
burger called the Mega Feast
at which... Chris.
McDonald's.
McDonald's, absolutely correct.
Oh, go on.
Well done.
Question number three.
It's one all.
Name a fast food restaurant that sells pies.
Brie.
Brie.
That would be McDonald's.
It's the Georgie Pie.
That's absolutely correct.
And you know what?
That's pretty good from me because that is a Kiwi thing
and I have learnt that history about New Zealand.
Yeah, well done.
Is it because McDonald's bought out all of the...
In the mere two and a half years you've lived here,
you've managed to go to McDonald's.
I've never had a Georgie Pie,
but it's because they bought out all the restaurants, right?
Yeah, you've got to have a Georgie Pie.
Okay, Chris, this is where we're at.
We're at question number five,
and the best you can do here is draw it up.
You can level the series with this,
in which case I'm going to have to make up a question.
Or Brie can win 3-1.
Okay.
All right. I need you hot on your
buzzers.
And for this, I will only be allowing
maximum three seconds to answer.
Okay? I'm going to put that out there now. Jeez.
Straight. Final question.
How many
secret herbs and spices are there?
Three. 17.
17's incorrect. Oh, it's 18.
Chris? How many herbs and spices are there? How many secret herbs and Brie. 17. 17's incorrect. Oh, it's 18. Chris.
How many herbs and spices are there?
How many secret herbs and spices are there?
20.
20's incorrect.
Do I get another go?
No, it's 11.
No one gets another go.
Is it 11?
Yeah, and you win the game, by the way.
You win the game off that.
Yay!
All right, go Brie, go Brie. Good idea. Let's be real, Chris the way. You win the game off that. Yay! All right, go Bree, go Bree.
Good idea.
Let's be real, Chris.
Neither of us won that game.
No, another very limp two-point victory.
Terrible.
I'm starting to think you don't deserve any takeaways
when they come back, actually.
Don't you dare say that.
Bree and Clint.
Right now, on the other side of the world,
there is a New Zealander by the name of Scott Bensley
trying to complete the Tour de France in his own living room.
And that great New Zealander joins us on the phone right now.
Scott, good afternoon.
G'day, Scotty.
How are we doing, guys? How are we?
The question is more, how are you doing?
Yeah, and why are you doing? What's going on with you? Tell us what you're doing.
I still don't really know.
I'm smelly, I'm sweaty, but essentially
I purchased a cheap
online exercise bike
put it in my little box apartment
and I'm matching stage for stage
the 2019 Tour de France.
So about
3,500 kilometres over 21
days. 3,500
kilometres?
You're basically cycling back to New Zealand.
Oh my God.
That's crazy.
It sounds like the spin class from Hell, Clint.
That's what it sounds like.
So you're a Kiwi living in New York.
Whereabouts in New Zealand are you from?
I'm from the North Shore.
You're from the North Shore of Auckland.
Okay.
You can't cycle over there.
Also, why are you in New York City?
I moved here just under two years ago.
Just kind of like sold up shop back in New Zealand,
wanted a challenge, moved to New York with no job, no house.
And now, you know, I see myself two years on the top of the world riding a bike next to a cardboard cutout of the Eiffel Tower.
So I think I've like smashed it really.
Sounds like you're doing pretty well, Scott.
I need to ask, because obviously there's a lot of reports
coming out of the States about, you know,
what's happening with coronavirus over there,
and New York seems pretty grim right now.
What's the vibe like in New York?
It's honestly like a scene from 28 Days Later.
It's grim.
New York City is obviously usually busy, loud,
a lot of people, streets
are empty, you're not allowed to go outside
unless you're wearing face masks.
It's a pretty bleak and scary place
to be honest. Yeah, but you don't care because you've
got so many endorphins rushing through your
body from being on that bike all day
that you're on cloud nine. It's like you've taken
two pingers at the main stage of Rhythm and Vines.
You're ready to go.
I'm front lift, baby.
I'm front lift.
Front lift.
Front lift.
Mate, you're killing it.
I need to know because obviously this is a pretty big thing to take on,
riding the Tour de France in your living room.
Were you a cyclist before or is this just something you decided to do?
Yeah.
No, never cycled a day of my life.
Like the odd perfect soul cycle class.
I think that's about as much as I've done ever.
Is today day one of the Tour de France?
Is this leg one?
No.
No, today is day 14.
So I'm almost thinking I've got like 900 kilometres to go.
So are you doing the right amount of kilometres?
Like are you doing the number of k's that Lance Armstrong would have done in a day?
Yeah, exactly.
So I'm pretty much matching it kilometre for kilometre.
I need to ask.
I did see online that you're wearing the yellow jersey like Lance Armstrong did.
I need to ask, are you taking, are you channeling all of his energy?
Did you even go as far as tucking one testicle back just to
channel Lance Armstrong in all of this?
Well, I'll tell you what, at the end of this,
I'm not going to have any testicles left.
My nutsack's taking
a hammering on this seat.
But yeah, I'm channeling Lance. I actually
watched the full Lance
Armstrong, Oprah Winfrey
interview for a little bit of inspiration.
Are you riding right now?
I am, yep.
I've done 70 miles today so far, so I've got about 45 miles to go.
All right.
We'd better leave you to your mahi.
This is Scott Bensley,
who is currently cycling the Tour de France in his living room.
If you would like to see what he's doing,
his Instagram handle is at Scotty Bensley.
And can I say, that picture that you've put up,
wow, that is one hell of
a moose's knuckle that you're rocking
there inside those bike shorts, mate.
Powder,
Scotty, powder. Just powder
those balls with the powder, alright?
And you should be alright on the chafe.
Live strong, Scotty. Kia kaha.
Good luck. See you, mate. See you, guys.
Thanks, team.
Bree and Clint.
It's my birthday.
It's my birthday.
Bree and Clint's Birthday Banger.
All right, Birthday Banger for you Wednesday.
We'll take your birthdays and we'll figure out what was number one on each of your 16th birthdays.
First person here to play us, Matt.
G'day, macho.
Hello, Matt.
How are you going?
Good, thank you.
What's your birthday? 11th of us, Matt. G'day, machu. Hello, Matt. How you going? Good, thank you. What's your birthday?
11th of June, 91.
All right.
You were 16 in 2007 on the 11th of June.
And, Matty, this is your birthday banger.
Now that it's raining more than ever
Know that we'll still have each other
You can stand under my umbrella
You can stand under my umbrella Do you know I know all the dance moves to this song?
Do you?
No.
Oh.
Matt, how do you feel about the original Rihanna track, Umbrella?
Not ideal.
Not ideal.
Probably not a winner, but that's okay.
Yeah.
Pretty huge song in history, though.
Yeah, it comes up a lot in Birthday Banger,
and Brie, you and I need to have a discussion
about whether we're ever going to choose it.
That's important, I think,
but it's on the weight of the other songs.
That's important, too.
Yeah, it's definitely a Friday jam.
I feel like it still gets played.
Let's see what else we get.
Leah.
Hey, Leah.
Hi.
Hi.
What's your birthday, Leah?
11th of September, 94.
All right, you were 16 in 2010 on the 11th of September.
And back in 2010, this had a number one hit.
We gon' rock this club.
We gon' go all night.
We gon' light it up like it's dynamite.
Banger.
It's a payo.
Payo Cruz.
We gon' light it up.
Remember the first time I found out he was British
and I was like, what the hell is going on here?
Really?
He's got such a nice accent, Tao Cruz.
Leah, how do you feel about Tao Cruz Dynamite?
It's better than that.
It's better than that?
Oh, Leah, savage.
Shots fired.
I remember seeing that song at Friday Jams
and I just remember thinking, I just want more of this.
He was amazing.
He came out.
He was so good, wasn't he?
He did four songs, a.k.a. his best songs.
He had fireworks, and then he was like, okay, goodbye.
See ya.
Yeah, and we were like, I was like, no, we want more.
Yeah, I reckon if there was more, it wouldn't have been as good.
Yeah, true.
That's fine.
God, it's going to take a lot to beat that.
Amy, hi.
Hi.
Hi. What's your birthday, Amy? 6th of Yeah, true. That's fine. God, it's going to take a lot to beat that. Amy, hi. Hi. Hi.
What's your birthday, Amy? 6th of February, 82. Alright, you were
16 in 1998 on
the 6th of February. And back in
the late 90s, this reached the top of the
chart.
Oh my God.
Here's the thing.
People think of Aqua as being a one-hit wonder, but they weren't.
That was huge.
That was huge.
There's another one that was huge as well.
Let's just leave it at that for now, though.
They had more than one hit. Something about fairy tales?
I love how Clint goes, they weren't a one-hit wonder.
They had a plethora of hits.
They had this one, and then they had a...
Ellie's yelling at me.
She thinks she knows what it is.
The other one.
Barbie girl.
Yeah, I know that.
Yeah, we knew that one, mate.
I was just checking.
I was like, why is no one stating the obvious?
No, I was saying they weren't a one-hit wonder
because they also had Dr. Jones.
Oh, my God, Ellie.
I thought you were talking about that song being the one.
Never mind.
I'll just leave now.
I was definitely on the same page as you, Clint.
Ellie was on some other world.
Cartoon Heroes is the song I'm thinking of.
Do we remember Cartoon Heroes?
No.
What song was that?
The other Aqua song.
Do we have it in the system?
Yeah, but let's focus on the job at hand, okay?
We need to pick a birthday banger between
Tayo Cruz, Rihanna, and Aqua.
I think it has to be Aqua.
I want to hear how Amy, whose birthday banger is Dr. Jones,
feels about it.
Amy, how do you feel about Dr. Jones?
Oh, not a fan.
Not a fan of that song.
I just did that big pinch.
Just did all that work.
Amy, Amy, can you pretend?
Okay, absolutely love it.
What a banger.
Yeah, well, that's all we needed.
Thank you.
You're a legend, Amy.
We appreciate your time.
Thank you, Amy.
Congratulations.
Here it is, everybody.

Zed in Breeinclan, that's the winner of Birthday Banger
for Amy, Aqua and Dr Jones.
There's a very angry text on the text machine.
Oh, yeah, would you like to hit us with it?
Very, very salty.
They've said, do you guys choose the worst birthday bangers
on purpose to piss people off?
Britney yesterday and Aqua today?
I'm considering leaving this radio station.
Wow.
Okay, I would love to know what song they would have preferred us to choose.
Yeah, what song?
Let us know if that's you absolutely roasting us.
Do they want Taya Cruz or Umbrella?
Taya Cruz would have been good.
I would have been stoked with a bit of Dynamite.
We're not immune to criticism,
so that's important that we are checked before we wreck.
That's important to get.
But at the same time, I'll just let you know,
if you do change radio stations, you won't get birthday banger.
Like, you think we make a shit decision every now and then.
If you go anywhere else, you're just going to get Justin Bieber.
That's it.
Or Taylor Swift over and over.
Which are great, but we don't claim to make the right decision every time.
But, you know, at least we're giving it a go.
Or some shit, I don't know.
To be honest, I do have sometimes I have regrets with Birthday Banger,
but that's life.
Sometimes you can't always be right.
They've texted her again.
The other two songs were sweet.
Okay, well, that's fair enough.
We decided to go with that quite and we stand by it.
Do we stand by our decision?
I stand by it.
I think that's a banger.
Yeah, we stand by our decision. Piece of history it. I think that's a banger. Yeah, we stand by our decision.
Piece of history. Yeah, enjoy
the breeze or wherever you're going. Thank you very much.
Bree and Clint. Clint, I'm
pretty excited about this next thing
we're about to do. I know you are.
I think it's going to be good. I feel like
I hope it's going to be good but I need everyone
listening to be involved. That's
what it takes to make something really great on our show.
Yeah.
And I was sitting in my room the other day,
because obviously I can't leave the house,
and I was trying to think up some new games for our show,
which is quite difficult in the radio world,
because everything's been done pretty much.
Everything's been done, yeah.
We sent the secrets out and we invented that.
Yeah, no, that was definitely our idea, original.
But I came up with this idea and it was based off one of the most popular adverts that's ever been created in New Zealand.
And that advert is, of course, Show Us Your Crack.
And the game that I've created today is called Show Us Your Crack
and it's got nothing to do with windscreens,
but it's got to do with the people listening right now, Clint.
Pretty much all it involves is I want people to call now 0800-DIAL-ZM
and I want them to show us their crack.
How are they going to show us their crack on the radio?
That's a very good question, Clint.
Or not even show us your crack, but let us
hear your crack, rather.
So, you know how obviously
there's some people that love to crack
their knuckles, they can crack their neck.
Some people can crack some weird
body parts I don't even know about.
Oh my god, some people are going to love this, some people are going to hate it.
Yeah, right.
I can already see Ellie getting uncomfortable.
She's doing shallow breathing.
Yeah, it's not the best for some people,
but I feel like some people it brings them joy.
Ellie, can you handle a good crack?
Oh, I do love a good crack, Clint,
but sometimes they freak me out a bit.
I will say that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I think we should do it.
Don't get me wrong.
I think we should definitely do it,
but this will upset some people, yeah.
Well, you know what?
Sometimes you've got to upset people to make some other people happy.
No, no, no.
You missed the best pun.
What?
Sometimes you've got to crack a few eggs to make an omelette.
Oh, how did I miss that?
I've never heard that.
I want people to call 0800 dial ZM
if you can crack a body part.
That's all you need to be able to do and then
Clint, you and I will judge
who has the best crack.
Cool. Let's do it. That's it.
0800 dial ZM right now to crack
a body part on air. I'll do a crack.
Yeah, go on.
We'll hear it. I got some cracks. I bet
you do. Bree and Clint. Let's play your new game, shall we? Yeah, let's kick off the new
game. That's right. You heard correct. Came up with the new game the other day and it's
called Show Us Your Crack. We're essentially based off, obviously, the very popular advert, show us your crack.
But it's nothing like
what you're thinking. I want people to
call up 0800DIALZM
and I want them to let us hear
their crack.
Cracking a body part, whatever body
part you want to crack.
And you and I, Clint, are going to judge
who has the best crack.
As a licensed chiropractor, I'm okay to referee this game as well,
so we'll be okay.
All right, let's kick it off with Jordan.
Hello, Jordan.
Hey, Jordan.
Hi, how's it going?
Good, thanks.
First of all, I want to ask,
what body part will you be cracking this afternoon?
My jaw.
Ooh, okay.
Okay, so obviously the phone's already near your jaw. We, okay. Okay, so obviously
the phone's already near your jaw. We're okay in that
regard. So we've got to bring down
the music here because we need to listen
quite carefully. I'll turn you right up, Jordan.
Jordan, when you're ready,
show us your crack.
Ooh!
Oh,
God!
I kind of heard the pop, pop, pop in there.
Do you ever get locked jaw, Jordan?
No, not anymore.
Don't say anything.
Don't say anything.
Don't say anything.
We'll make our own assumptions, Jordan.
Okay, Jordan, thank you for showing us your crack.
Welcome to the show, Cole. Hello, Cole.
How's it going? Good, thank you.
What body part will you be cracking for us
this afternoon? I'm
also a jaw. Oh, you're a jaw too?
You're also a jaw. Okay, let's see if
we get the same crack, Clint. Yeah,
the issue with the jaw is I feel like it's a very muffled
body part to be cracking. It's more
a pop, in my opinion.
Let's give it a crack.
Cole.
We'll turn you right up.
Cole.
When you're ready, show us your crack.
Oh, hang on, guys.
Oh, come on.
Oh, there it is.
Okay.
Oh, yuck.
Yuck.
Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop.
That was like rapid fire cracks.
Oh, that was a machine gun.
Yeah, literally.
Is your jaw okay?
Are you all right?
Yeah, I'm fine.
I'm great.
Okay, let's go to Alice.
Alice, hi.
Hi, Alice.
Hi.
How old are you, Alice?
20.
Oh, you're 20?
Okay, sorry, I thought you were nine.
She's a legal age to show us her crack.
Alice, what body part are you cracking this afternoon?
I can kind of do my shoulder.
Oh, okay.
I've never heard a shoulder crack.
I've only seen it pop in and out, but okay, yep.
All right, Alice.
We'll bring you down.
When you're ready.
Show us your crack
oh
kind of sounds like your um shoulders being beaten against the phone what is that alex you need to get that checked okay one more one more before we pick our um winner uh. G'day, Alex. Hi, Alex.
G'day, guys.
How's it going?
Good.
How are you?
So, I mean, I've got to admit, that shoulder sounded pretty bad, eh?
Yeah, terrible.
But, Alex, I'd argue we haven't heard a true crack yet.
You know, we've heard...
I want a neck or a...
We've heard pops.
I haven't heard anything go snap yet.
You know, I haven't heard that real audible, you know, like a piercing.
What have you got, Alex?
What are you cracking?
Well, I've got two.
So I've got my wrist that'll go snap constantly.
I broke them when I was younger.
And also a jaw, but there's quite a few other people that have already done it.
So many jaws.
I reckon let's go the wrist.
Yeah, we want to hear something different.
The ride is good.
Alex, when you're ready, show us your crack.
Oh!
Oh, it sounds like a car indicator.
Are you turning left or right?
Yeah.
Okay, can I join this game?
I'll slow it down for you, eh?
Yeah, all right, go on then.
All right, yep.
Oh, his is bad.
That's terrible, Alex.
I'm going to join real quick with my fingers, okay?
Oh, it wasn't as exciting as I thought it would be.
And I'll join.
Let me give my fingers a go.
Yeah.
No, that was your mouth.
Oh, no, here we go.
No, they've already cracked.
You only get one chance.
You only get one shot.
Let me try my knees real quick.
Hang on.
Let me try my old man knees.
Hang on.
Let's get down here.
Just got to get down, sir.
You ready?
You ready?
Yeah.
Whoa.
Did you get that?
Man, this is a stupid game.
I've got real clicky knees.
Should I give it a go?
I think we need to award a winner.
Who do you think won out of Cole, Alex and Alice?
Because the other person's already left this game.
I'm going to say, I'm going to give it to Alex.
Yeah, I think so too.
It was the most crisp crack in my opinion.
And I appreciate that he can also do his jaw, but he thought, no, I'm going to stop at one.
Alex, you win.
Show us your crack.
Congratulations.
Oh, awesome.
Way to go, thanks, guys.
What an achievement, Alex.
Go tell your friends, tell your family.
Take some Omega-3 oil, you know, lube up those joints, mate.
You need it.
All right, thanks, guys.
Guys, I'm not going I'm not gonna, you know
Go too early on this
But I'm thinking Radio Award
Yeah, I was thinking exactly what you are, mate
Radio Award
I think this might be back next week
I'm on the quest to find
It's an honourable quest
It's a quest that I'm doing on behalf of the nation
It's an essential service, really
I'm on a quest to find the greatest biscuit
in New Zealand right
now. I've realised what this is about.
What is it about? It's about you just getting
to eat a lot of biscuits.
Look, there has been a lot of road testing involved
in the competition, I will
admit to that. I bet there has.
But what else are you supposed to do at the moment?
What else is there to do?
And what I'm trying to do is canvas as many people in New Zealand
and figure out what is the greatest bicky available to New Zealanders,
not necessarily made by New Zealanders.
We started out with 28 biscuits from all over the world
that you can buy at New Zealand supermarkets,
and we've whittled our way down to two.
The final is live and voting closes in approximately an hour and a half.
We are talking about two
biscuits, Bree. The Tim Tam
and the Squiggle. This is like
the Bledisloe. This is like the Bledisloe.
You're absolutely right. You have an Australian
biscuit and a Kiwi Classic.
But I don't believe that that
should enter into your voting too much.
It may, because I can't control where your
emotional triggers are.
It should be based on biscuit and biscuit alone, you know?
It should be based on what is actually the best tasting
slash best, most dunkable
slash just, yeah, the overall best biscuit.
Most comforting, most fondest remembered biscuit as well.
The most more-ish, as my mum would say.
Or the biscuit that you have most regularly in your pantry.
You know, there's so many different ways to vote on this.
I've got to say, I have had literally thousands of votes in this.
And as we draw towards the finish, there has not been a closer battle.
Would you like to know where the votes sit currently, Brie?
Yeah, how many votes? Tell me.
So with, actually around two hours
left to vote.
With an advantage
of 52%, which
is so slim, the squiggle
biscuit is leading the Great Bicky
off. And if it keeps going this
way, it will take out the competition.
Yeah, I mean,
that's pretty close.
It's pretty close.
But I'm not keeping my hopes up for it to sway
in the last couple of hours.
The voting's going on on my Instagram.
I also put the vote up on Twitter as like a sub poll
to see how, because a different audience,
different people on Twitter,
lots of intellectuals hang out there.
Also lots of trolls as well.
And on there, it's exactly 50-50.
The vote can't be separated.
So what we have, what you can take away from this
is we did put the best two biscuits in the final.
Like for a competition to be this close,
you know that we've drawn the best final possible, right?
Very, very close.
People who love mint slice will disagree,
but that's by the by at the moment.
Thought we could just quickly canvas the country
and see how the voting is tracking.
So we've got a range of calls.
Niamh is here.
Hi, Niamh.
Hi.
How are you?
Yeah, I'm good.
I'm good.
Niamh, what are your thoughts?
What are you voting in this great Kiwi bicky off?
Well, I'm actually on the way to the supermarket now
and on my shopping list is Tim Tams
because I'm a sucker for a Tim Tam slam.
Okay.
Oh, how good is a Tim Tam slam?
I got to ask, your biscuit is not winning.
Have you voted in the Great Bicky Off?
I have voted and I'm sad to see it's not winning.
Okay.
Well, no, what you're doing now is a form of campaigning, so don't worry about that.
Oh, awesome.
You may influence someone to go and vote, so thank you for your service.
Let's go to Logan.
G'day, Logan.
Hi, Logan.
Hi, guys.
Hi, Logan.
What are your thoughts, mate?
Well, okay.
Just like Niamh, you love the Tim Tam Slam.
I love a Tim Tam Slam, but I've got to go with Squiggles.
Is there any reason for that?
Is it a patriotic allegiance or is it just
something that your gut tells you
you need to do? It's a gut feeling.
It really is. Okay, that's
absolutely fine. Thank you, Logan.
Interesting. We'll get one more from Caleb.
Hi, Caleb. Hello, mate.
Hey. The bicky off.
First of all, do you believe the best
two biscuits have made it to the final?
No. No.
It should have been Toffee Pops and Tim Tams.
Toffee Pops and Tim Tams.
Oh, that's interesting to me because I think Toffee Pops and Squiggles very similar.
I mean, they're both a lot of biscuit, aren't they?
Yeah, there's a lot going on.
I'd argue that a Toffee Pop is a bit too much.
And I understand that that's rich when I'm putting it up against a squiggle.
I was going to say, have you eaten a squiggle?
Squiggle, I like to describe as a cluster F of a biscuit.
It's got everything going on.
But maybe that's why it appeals.
Maybe that's why it has broad appeal,
because there's so much in it that it means there's something for everyone.
But Caleb, if you had to choose between squiggle and Tim Tam,
who would you vote for?
I'd go for Tim Tam because I like the Tim Tam straws you can make
and there's a wider range of flavours.
There you go.
It's so versatile, the Tim Tam.
Arguably, it is a more versatile biscuit.
I will give you that.
Judging by those votes, in terms of the radio vote,
the Tim Tam has it.
Yeah, judging by just three votes, the Tim Tam absolutely has it.
Hey, a poll is a poll. A poll is a poll. That Tim Tam absolutely has it. Hey, a poll is a poll.
A poll is a poll.
That's what we say on this show.
A poll is a poll.
I'm just going to check the votes to see if this segment has swayed it at all.
No, we are still 52 to 48,
so either the squiggle deserves to win or nobody's listening.
The Great Bicky Off closes tonight.
Bree and Clint.
Welcome to the morale boosting request section of the show
where you and I, Bree, try and figure out the song
that's going to lift the mood of the nation.
We're trying to establish a mood this week.
Yesterday the mood was fitness and home workout.
Today it's sexy bitch.
Yeah, this will lift the mood, that's for sure.
Yeah, lift something, right?
Hello.
Oh, hello.
So what is the song?
We've gathered as many requests as we can within that space of that one song.
You and I are also submitting one each today.
So should we start running through them, Bree?
Yeah, let's kick into it.
Obviously, this was going to come through, and it did.
Is this the sexy morale-boosting song we need today?
Oh, yeah. morale boosting song we need today.
Oh yeah.
Oh yeah.
Yeah, it's nice.
Yeah.
Makes me think of Channing Tatum.
Yeah, makes me think of riding horses.
Okay, is it that or is it the Body Rockers?
Obviously this is a different tempo.
I feel like there is one person that every day for the morale boosting song will request this until we play it.
Sure, okay.
This is a bit of a, like I don't want to be too graphic,
but when I hear this song in a sexy context.
That's a different type of mood, isn't it?
Yeah, the word jackhammer comes to mind.
Oh, God.
You know what I mean?
Maybe? I don't know.
This person requested this song,
and I'm sorry I don't have the hook for it,
but how about Marvin Gaye's Sexual Healing?
Such a tune.
This is a really sexy song, too.
It's been on my playlist before.
Right.
Hear that?
Yeah.
It's babies being made.
That's what it is.
Exactly right.
That's an option.
Or you can vote for another one which I don't have a hook for.
What about Tom Jones' Sex Bomb?
Oh, Joe.
Sex Bomb.
Tom Jones.
What a fox he was.
Is this a remix?
It sounds like it.
I'm into it if it is.
We can play this.
This is totally fine.
I love this.
I'm definitely keen for this.
Or you can vote for Bree's option.
Do you want to tell us what it is, Bree,
and why it's something special to you?
This song is by a guy called Jay Holiday.
It's called Bed, and just because I've had a lot of experiences to this song.
Oh, you just cut it off at the best bit.
I didn't cut it off, okay?
None of these hooks are any good.
You know the song,
I'm gonna take you to the bed.
Is that how it goes?
It's like, I wanna put you to bed.
That's the one.
Or are you gonna go for my one?
And I believe this is the sexiest song.
I honestly believe this is the sexiest song.
Oh, here we go.
We're getting the dad's point of view.
No, excuse me.
It's not a dad one.
It's not a dad one.
Okay?
Although if my daughter had been created to this song,
then I hope she'd be born with some rhythm,
unlike her father.
I think this is the sexy, morale-bursting song we need. But right now we're fast.
We've reached the climax.
We're together now.
I mean, essentially, it's actually a breakup song,
but it actually has the word climax in it.
God.
So we've got a tough decision to make.
Is it Genuine Pony?
Is it The Body Rockers?
Is it Marvin Gaye?
Is it Tom Jones?
Or Jay Holiday?
Or Usher?
Eliminate one for me right now, Brie.
Get rid of one.
Body Rockers.
I'm going to have to say Body Rockers, yeah.
Body Rockers is gone.
It's gone.
Okay, let's eliminate another one.
Probably Pony.
Pony is too obvious, right?
We play it a lot.
Yeah, and we play that a lot.
Okay, so we're left with Marvin Gaye, which is very sexy,
but I don't think it's going to win.
Yeah, maybe not.
Love it, but I don't think it's going to win.
Okay, it's gone.
Tom Jones, Sex Bomb.
Leave that in.
Leave it in.
Cool.
Your song, Jay Holiday.
The hook has made me...
The hook is so bad, it's made me not want
to pick it. I'm so glad you said that, because I don't want
it either. Okay, it's gone?
Yeah, it's gone. Okay, we're down to
Usher
and Tom Jones.
I gotta go with Tom
Jones. I gotta go with Tom Jones as well.
For the mere fact of the tempo and
his sultry sounds.
Also because I think this will really piss
Ross Boss off, us playing it. Oh it will.
Plus it's a test to see
if he's even listening. He's working from home.
So if he's not listening.
If he doesn't discipline us for this song
then we know once and for all
he's not truly working from home, okay?
This is both a request and
a challenge. Spy on me, baby, you satellite
If you're ready to see me move through the night
Aim, go on fire, shoot me right
I'm gonna like the way you fight
Now you found the secret code I use
To wash away my lonely blues.
So I can't deny or lie, cause you're the only one to make me fly.
You know what you are, you are.
Sax bomb, sax bomb, you're a sax bomb.
You can give it to me when I need to come along.
Sax bomb, sax bomb, You're my sax bomb.
And baby, you can turn
me on.
Baby, you can turn me on.
You know what you're doing.
Now don't get me
wrong, ain't gonna do you no harm.
No. This bomb's for loving
and you can shoot it far?
I'm your main target.
Come on.
Help me ignite.
Love struggle.
Holding you tight.
Hold me tight.
Make me explode.
Although, you know, the route to go to sex me slow.
And yes, I must react to claims of those who say that you are not all
Sex bomb, sex bomb, you're my sex bomb
You can give it to me when I need to come along
Sex bomb, sex bomb, you're my sex bomb
And baby, you can turn me on
Sex bomb, sex bomb, you can turn me on. Turn me on, dog. Sex bomb, sex bomb.
You're my sex bomb.
Sex bomb.
And you can give it to me when I need to come along.
Sex bomb, sex bomb.
You're my sex bomb.
And baby, you can turn me on.
You can give me more and more, counting up a score.
Yeah.
You can turn me upside down and inside out.
You can make me feel
the real deal.
Uh-huh.
And I can give it to you
anytime because you're mine.
Ow!
Ow!
Ooh!
Second one.
Yes, you are. You say that you are not all that
Oh baby
Sax bomb, sax bomb
You're my sax bomb
You can give it to me when I need to come along
Sax bomb, sax bomb
You're my sax bomb
And baby you can turn me on
Damn baby
Sax bomb, sax bomb Pull the curtains and shut up shop Damn, baby.
Pull the curtains and shut up shop.
That is all you need right now for your sexy, sexy morale boosting request from Tom Jones.
How old is Tom Jones these days?
Do you want to play the age game quickly?
I think he's 78.
Ellie on the Google, please.
How old is Tom Jones?
You say 78.
He may be older. He's very grey. Maybe even 80. Google, please. How old is Tom Jones? You say 78? Maybe older.
He's very grey.
Maybe even 80.
No, 78.
I'm looking in 78.
I'm dubious to put him into his 80s.
Producer Ben's up on the screen.
He says 81.
81, okay.
I'm going to go... I'm going to have to go 79.
Sorry.
Sorry to make it that close.
Producer Ali, do we have an answer?
The answer is 79.
There you go.
Still would.
You would not.
Absolutely I would.
It's Tom Jones.
He's a sex bomb
Google him
Honestly Google him
I want to test if the advertising is real
Brie and Clint
New Zealand about to emerge from level 4 into level 3
And some really good signs for businesses
That will be able to reopen Brie when that happens
I've already talked about fast food places
But they're also talking about factories
and stuff where workers can be far enough
apart. So I think we're on the
up. I think we're looking at good things here.
Does that mean cafes and stuff
can open? You can get coffees and things?
Cafes can open, but they have to be
contactless and they can't be
dine-in. So if they have
the ability to serve you without
you coming in i think right so
just keep that in mind in your local area if you want to support you know the local businesses that
you might be able to get your coffees and stuff from cafes still and definitely don't take all
your advice from me because that's just what i think um there is an issue in the united states
at the moment where they are not looking at uh the way we are they're not they're not on top of
their situation yet.
And because of that, there's a very real risk that America
is going to run out of something very, very important very shortly.
If factories don't reopen soon, the United States of America
is at risk of running out of beer.
Really?
Yeah.
How could that even happen?
I'll tell you how it can happen. Because the fizziness in beer, which is how could that even happen i'll tell you how it can happen because the
fizziness in beer which is created by carbon dioxide there's a chemical process that they
use to achieve that and there are factories who basically make the fizziness you make the beer
and then you fill it up with the fizziness i've never made beer before but i assume this is how
it happens and the factories that are making the fizziness are not available to work.
And therefore, what do you do?
You either don't make the beer
or you put your beer in a can and it's flat.
And what would you rather have?
No beer or flat beer?
Flat beer.
Yeah, that's actually a very good point.
I'd take flat beer.
No, no, no, that's a very good point.
No, you got me there.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
As long as it's cold, right?
I'm like, is this a trick question?
Yeah, as long as it's cold, I'm good to go on the flat beer but yeah i mean it does change the
experience of it doesn't it what would you rather have flat beer or warm beer there's another flip
flat beer i think you'd rather have a flat coldy god a warm beer is terrible isn't it oh i've ever
been to london though they love a warm pint do they and it's not even fizzy either they have
these weird like handle things and they are squelched
out of the keg and it just farts into your
glass and it's warm and mostly flat and they bloody
love it in the UK. Really?
Nah, not for me. I can't drink a
hot beer I don't think. Okay, so you'll
take a cold flatty, which they may
still be able to produce for you in
the States. Also while we're on the topic
of beer news, have you seen that
the Corona factory is shutting down? What? Yeah, it's in Mexico but because the world has gone, shit we're on the topic of beer news have you seen that um the corona factory is
shutting down what yeah it's in mexico but because the world has gone sure we're not drinking this at
the moment um they are halting production of corona beer because of the pummeling that it's
taken over the corona because what they're saying we're not going to produce all of this because no
one's buying no one's taking it yeah yeah so if they keep making it then no one's going to take
it i find that so ridiculous.
Do you find it as ridiculous as me that people are like,
oh, I'm not getting Corona beer at the moment?
Yeah, I do find it ridiculous.
Because I thoroughly enjoy a Corona beer.
Me too.
I love a Corona beer.
And I don't believe that drinking a Corona is going to give me the Corona virus.
No, of course it's not.
I don't understand how people have made that assumption.
Like, it's just ridiculous.
However, the thing that will stop me buying a Corona is the fact that I went to New World the other day
and they were $45 for 18 beers.
Really?
$45?
They're definitely not a cheap beer, are they, most of the time?
I would have thought I would have brought prices down.
I would have thought they were having a fire sale on Corona beers,
but no, not the case.
Trying to get rid of them.
Well, you know,
obviously America,
not like this country,
because there's one thing
that New Zealand
is not going to run out of
and it's beer.
Oh, shit, no.
We're good to go.
They're stockpiling it.
Bree and Clint.
One of my favourite things
in the world
is when live TV goes wrong.
I don't know why
I enjoy it so much, but it just brings me so much joy, Clint.
I think it's because you're used to seeing the people who are so professional.
Like newsreaders, they're not even human.
They're so well made up and they know exactly what they're going to say.
So when you see those cracks in the veneer come through, you're like,
ha ha, I knew you weren't a robot.
Very polished and that's why I think you're right.
And it's happened again, and it's at a news station called KCRA3
in Sacramento, California.
They love calling their news stations that in the States, eh?
Yeah, they're all like 3WB.
WBB555, your local news now.
Get your traffic update.
Anyway, the reporter's name is Melinda Meza,
and she was filming a segment from home because, of course,
everyone is on lockdown.
Anyway, she starts doing this report where she's cutting her fringe, Clint.
Was that part of the report?
Yeah, so it's part of the report.
She's talking about how to cut your fringe at home or something.
I'm not too sure. I think we've got a bit of a clip here. So she part of the report. She's talking about how to cut your fringe at home or something. I'm not too sure.
I think we've got a bit of a clip here.
So she's in the bathroom.
She's cutting her fringe.
And actually, I want you to guess,
because something was happening in the background in the bathroom,
and I want you to guess what actually happened in this live TV report.
Okay, let's cross live to melinda meza's bathroom so
people won't have to do this much longer it stopped it melinda meza kcra 3 news oh she is brave
oh she is brave is that what i heard she is brave yeah so that was obviously the reporter back at
the studio but um they didn't pick up on it obviously in that didn't give us much i'm gonna go in the bathroom i think her three-year-old has
walked in dropped their pants and decided to go to the toilet that would have been good and probably
more appropriate just because it's a little kid yeah um no uh in the background was her fully naked husband having a shower.
Oh, no.
So she's filmed it.
No one has noticed it.
It's gone to air.
And then afterwards, everyone's been like, is that a naked man?
That's a naked man on TV.
That's the problem with working from home.
That's the problem with Zooming from home.
You don't know what is in there because it's your private special place,
any part of your home. And then when someone sees it, there's a real risk that people are Zooming from home, you don't know what is in there because it's your private special place, any part of your home.
And then when someone sees it,
there's a real risk that people are Zooming from home too.
Forget the bathroom side of it,
that there's something there
that you've stolen from the workplace.
And if your boss goes,
hey, is that the work coffee machine
that went missing three months ago?
You know, that's one of the things I worry about.
Not that I steal from work,
but you know, I just have this great fear that I just...
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, sure.
I just worry about that sort of thing.
That's so funny,
because I'm not going to name which flatmate,
but one of our flatmates has taken some of the office chairs
and has brought them home here.
Yeah, right.
Just because they wanted a comfy chair at home.
Can I just round out Melissa Meza's story
with the correct way to cut your own fringe at home?
Don't do it.
Don't do it.
Yeah, that's exactly right.
I knew you were going to say that.
I've seen enough TikToks.
It's not a good idea.
It's bad.
