Hello everybody and welcome to the first podcast intro where we're all in the same place for
it's got to be like a month, right?
I think it's five weeks.
Far out.
Yeah.
I'm here.
Counting last week.
I'm Clint.
I'm here.
Present.
Yeah.
Bree.
Bree's here.
You're here.
I'm here.
Ben's here.
Ben's here.
He hasn't been here for ages.
Yeah, I'm here.
Probably the longest.
The longest out of all of us.
And Ellie's here.
And I'm still here.
Must have been hard for you today, Ben, today, coming to work.
Because usually,
because we watch you on the live stream,
usually you've got an open can of beer
by 3.30.
Right, yeah.
And then we see you disappear
and then you come back
and there's no mute,
there's no sound,
but I just hear this.
We assume.
Yeah, from your house,
I hear this.
The fridge open for another beer.
I'm not going to lie,
I had one before I came to work.
Did you? Of course I did. I'm not going to lie, I had one before I came to work. Did you?
Of course I did.
I'm not judging.
He walks to work.
That's fine.
He didn't walk today.
Yeah, he drove to KFC.
Oh, he had one.
He's allowed one.
No, but it's the principle.
You don't have a beer before work.
Yeah, that's true.
You know?
Yeah.
No, no, no, no, no.
A lot of people do at the moment because everything's out the window.
I was going to say, there's no rules in lockdown.
No, there is no rules.
That's true.
No. There ain't no rules.
Well, there's some.
There's definitely some rules, yeah.
Nah, no rules.
You can park wherever you want.
That's might be my favourite thing.
What?
Well, for essential workers.
There's no parking wardens.
You think about it, Ben.
Really?
They're not essential workers.
No.
Interesting.
You can literally park wherever you want.
And I have been, yeah.
Me too.
I feel like a VIP.
Yeah.
I parked on someone's lawn the other day.
That's definitely illegal.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, that's been good.
Yeah, that's been awesome.
What else has been good about level four that we're now going to lose?
Well, actually, we don't lose that much.
But what's been good about level four of lockdown here in New Zealand?
I definitely saved a bit of money.
And now I feel like I'm going to spend it on all these little takeaway places.
Very true.
I've already spent $40 at the little bagel place next to our house,
a little local one there.
Went to open today.
Done.
$40 and just gone.
That bagel shop's delicious.
It is nice.
It's really nice.
It's very good.
Oh, yeah, I love that bagel place.
To be honest, people are surprised by this, but I'm such a homebody.
I've actually really liked it most of the time.
Most of the time.
Most of the time.
I've had my days, which I think everyone's had their days.
I would have liked my house to be a little bit bigger.
Oh, really?
You know, I'm a homebody too.
I love my home and I'm quite house proud.
And I've done a lot to, like, primp and preen the house and make it look nice.
But when it's raining and it's just you and whoever you live with inside,
it would definitely be nice to be able to go to a parten the house and make it look nice. But when it's raining and it's just you and whoever you live with inside,
it would definitely be nice to be able to go to a part of the house where you felt like you were alone.
Yeah.
How do you think we felt there was four of us in an apartment with no backyard?
Yeah.
The no backyard thing has been really shit.
No outdoors.
Yeah.
What about you?
You're the same, Ben.
Yeah.
There's a little park there you can go for a walk around,
the closest one, but it's not the same, is it?
No, it's not.
Ellie lives on her own floor of a house with her own bathroom
and her own access, and she lives beside the beach.
Rich.
Quite nice.
Rich, rich, rich.
How the other half live, eh?
Yeah.
Right, well, has anyone got anything interesting
They want to share
Before we get into this
It's nice to have you guys back
Yeah it is
It is nice being back
To be honest
It's actually like
I feel really blessed
To be able to get out
Because I know
Like one of my flatmates
Has not been allowed out
For the last five weeks
And then I was leaving today
And she was like
See ya
Blessed by who by the way
Yeah
Just blessed that I have the job That I do Yeah but who blessed you Drake Yeah I was leaving today and she was like, say, uh. Blessed by who, by the way? Yeah.
Just blessed that I have the job that I do.
Yeah, but who blessed you?
Drake.
Yeah.
Who put the blessings on you?
My flatmate, Alan, said bless you this morning.
Yeah, see, again, neither of you are religious.
Yeah, what?
So who's offering you these blessings?
I'm interested to know.
What?
I don't.
Do you think you have to be religious to say bless you?
No. My wife believes, has been reading books and now she believes in the universe
She's been reading books now
She believes in the universe?
She got into books
Is that what you just said?
Yeah, she keeps calling me a skeptic
She was already mad on star signs and stuff
And I'm not begrudging anybody who believes in anything
But I don't
Yeah, neither
Was it that book Men Are From Mars, Women are from Venus?
No, do you want to know what it's called?
Yeah, what is it called?
Here you go, book review
I've read half of it
The Hobbit
It's called The Hobbit
The Hobbit?
It's a book called
And I've got to say this fast
No, no, it's not
It's a joke
It's a joke
Frickin' heck
I've got to say this fast
Because Bree gets very bored with book stuff
Yeah, you're not going to have my attention for long So it's a book called Proof of Heaven Frickin' heck. Right. I've got to say this fast because Brie gets very bored with book stuff. Okay?
Yeah, you're not going to have my attention for long.
So it's a book called Proof of Heaven, and it was written by a guy who's a neurosurgeon who had a near-death experience.
Oh, my God.
My mum has read the same book.
Yeah.
So he's a scientist, and he doesn't believe in God, and yet he had something happen.
He contracted an infection which caused his body to shut down, and the part of his brain
that makes you dream had also shut down.
Like they can document that part.
He was clinically dead and he had a, he had a, um,
experience where he crossed over.
So he's come back.
And as soon as he woke up, he said to his son,
cause he's a scientist and he's not religious.
And he said to his son, I went to heaven.
And his son goes, don't tell me anything
don't put it through me he got him a pen and some paper and he said write down everything that
happened to you now before it's influenced i thought you were gonna say write down the address
right now prove it i want to go you got to write down what number what street yeah anyway that
book's called proof of heaven uh lucy read that, and now everything I say, now she goes,
oh, you're such a skeptic.
You sound like my mum.
And if you don't, there's another book called Conversations with God,
which is kind of like similar to that book,
but it's people who believe that they've crossed over.
Yeah, Lucy said to me the other day that the guy who wrote Proof of Heaven,
she goes, I'm reading his second book now.
And I said to her, oh, what's that, Proof of Hell hell and she didn't find it funny at all it's good gear though i mean
that would be a good it would be good follow-up yeah yeah you're like i'm going back and so you
do the same process and you die again and then they're like haha plot twist i will say though
at the end of this whole conversation i am very much like they describe Capricorns to be.
How do they describe?
What?
No, I'm actually just spot on that.
Round, red with a green stalk.
No, like does anyone else?
No, that's a different thing.
Do any of you think that about your star sign?
I have traits of a Leo.
Yeah.
Yeah.
How do you even know the traits?
I just weirded out today my star sign.
You'll hear about it later in the podcast.
Yeah, same.
I can't believe you did not know.
Yo, you knew what star sign you were.
I don't know what the trait is.
You don't know what your...
Okay, let's...
Oh, this is so exciting.
I'm so excited.
Oh, first God chat and now star sign chat.
I created this hell that I'm now living in.
Aquarius traits.
I am so unblessed right now.
You know, Capricorns and Aquarians are quite similar.
Are we?
We're quite similar.
Are we, though?
We're born quite close together.
But are we?
Okay, here we go.
People born under the Aquarius sign are said to be progressive,
independent, intelligent, unique, and idealistic.
Their element sign is air, the same as that for Gemini and Libra.
Like air, Aquarians don't have a single clear shape
and seem to defy categorisation.
Damn, that's so me.
Is it actually?
No.
It kind of is.
It kind of is.
And then I don't have a clear shape.
I'm just like, you know.
Yeah, you change all the time.
Yeah, I'm a runner at the moment, by the way.
Like my star sign, Capricorn, actually is me.
It's weird.
Is it?
And my sister, Gemini.
Go on then, tell us, tell us.
Okay, hold on.
And before you say that she's not these things,
you need to know that she believes that she is.
Okay.
Yeah.
Well, I don't know.
I've read all websites are different.
No, no, back yourself, back yourself.
Okay, all right.
Okay. Capric no, back yourself. Okay, all right. Okay.
Capricorns, generally ambitious, workaholics, driven to be their utmost best,
never let themselves off the hook, persistent, realistic, sensitive.
Are you reading your star sign or are you reading the description of you
in your high school yearbook?
This is what I'm saying!
I'm exactly what the Capricorn
says I am.
That's quite good actually. Isn't that creepy?
What's Ben's?
Let me do Ben's. Hot,
horny, and here for a good time.
Oh my god, that is an Aries.
I believe in star signs, I knew it!
Yeah, there you go. I mean,
you know, I think it's a bit of fun. I don't know how much I believe in them., I knew it Yeah, there you go I mean, you know, I think it's a bit of fun
I don't know how much I believe in that
Okay, do Ellie, do Ellie
You know, there's also moon signs, by the way
That's where the moon was
No, it's true
Change of mind
When the moon was positioned
Change of mind
Cancel
No, we're done, okay
Okay, Leo's enthusiastic, that's correct
Passionate and generous, they all correct.
Another salient characteristic of people with Leo's zodiac sign.
Salient?
What does that mean?
It means half water, half salt.
Sign is that they're mostly confident.
Mostly confident.
See, mostly confident.
I would say you mostly are, but then you also have like, yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You wrote these for us.
I have not. I've literally Googled it. You're like, Aquarius, live in. You wrote these for us. I have not.
I've literally Googled it.
You're like Aquarius live in West Auckland.
Right, let's do Ben.
Let's do Ben.
No, we've done mine.
No, we haven't.
Hot horny here for a good time.
Yeah.
You should get that on a t-shirt, by the way.
That's a cool t-shirt idea.
Okay, here we go.
Aries is a passionate, motivated, and confident leader who builds community with their cheerful disposition and relentless determination.
That is Ben.
Wow.
Look at that.
Always cheerful.
Always like up for anything.
That is him.
Say the bad characteristics.
Yeah.
Oh, well, now I need to go back through all.
Nah, that's not fun.
I'm pretty sure Capricorn is stubborn AF and that is me.
Wow. That's fascinating.
There you go.
Oh, is that Drake Hotline Blink?
I think that's our cue to leave.
Blessings.
They're giving us the music wrap up.
Enjoy the podcast everybody.
See ya. Bye. Here we are. Good 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
Here we are, good afternoon everybody.
Welcome to the show, Bree and Clint.
Hello mate.
She's back.
I'm back, the whole family's back.
Well, Ben was here.
Yeah, Ben was here.
But we've sent him away.
We've sent him on a special mission.
Which we'll tell you about that in a minute.
Yeah, just a second.
We've got a fun show coming up for you.
Actually, no, I can't think about anything else.
So we need to talk about the best thing now.
Yeah, this is pretty big.
Welcome to Level 3, everybody.
Obviously, you've been here all day.
Have you got your takeaways yet?
And if you haven't,
is it the only thing that you're thinking about?
It is for Bree and I.
It's the main thing on our mind, that's for sure.
And we're very lucky to have a team of people
to enable the things we want to make happen, happen.
We call them producers.
Oh, is that what we call them?
Yeah, we call them producers.
That's what we call them on air anyway.
And one of them's on the line at the moment,
Producer Ben.
Good afternoon.
Hello, mate.
Yeah, g'day, guys.
I was really looking forward to coming into the studio today
and spending time, but here I am in the car.
We're looking forward to you coming in even more now
because when you get back,
you'll be bringing with you some hot takeaways for us.
Ben's currently in the car
on his way to Ponsonby
in Auckland
where you can have
whatever you want to eat.
What's better than
Producer Ben?
Producer Ben
with takeaways
that we haven't had
for five weeks.
Exactly right.
He's talking to us
on the hands-free
at the moment
and Bree,
you and I need to choose
where are we sending him?
He's on his way there now.
Which way is he going to point
his Sbarro Impreza and which takeaway drive-through do we want him to get's on his way there now. Which way is he going to point his Subaru Impreza?
And which takeaway drive-thru do we want him to get in?
This is all an experiment to see how long it really takes.
Everybody's scared of the length of the drive-thrus at the moment.
But how long does it really take?
Ben's going to find out for us.
We're doing this for research for the people listening, aren't we?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Absolutely right.
That's why we're doing it.
So what do we want?
What are you feeling?
Oh, there's so many options.
I think deep down we know what we want.
So let's say it at the same time.
Okay.
Let's say it at the same time.
Ben, we would like you
to go and get us
three, two, one.
KFC.
Yes!
Yes!
Yes!
We're on the same wavelength.
Yes!
Ben.
Yes!
Ben, go to KFC, okay?
Yes, I'm off.
All right, he's off.
He's on his way.
And what do we want, by the way?
Oh, yeah. That's going to have to be a text. It'll be a double scroll text, I think. All right, he's off. He's on his way. And what do we want, by the way? Oh, yeah.
That's going to have to be a text.
It'll be a double scroll text, I think.
A few things.
Definitely want Wicked Wings.
Yeah, absolutely.
Don't worry, we'll transfer you some money when you get back.
Don't worry, we'll sort that all out, mate.
We'll definitely pay you back.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
As long as there's Wicked Wings all in KFC chips on there as well.
Absolutely, extra salt.
What we'd like you to do is if you've sat in a drive-thru somewhere around New Zealand today,
tell us which one it was and
how long did it take to get your food?
Because we are a show for the people and we thought
what's the most important thing today is
to know how long each drive-thru is going to take
around the country. Yeah, we're like the Ashley Bloomfield
of drive-thrus. We need
cases and we need numbers. So tell
us the restaurant you went to,
the location of that restaurant,
and how long it took you to get your order.
Yeah, and what time that was, just
to give us a good idea. I went past Macca's this
morning by my house. There's only four cars in there at 7.30.
Boom! It's a normal drive-thru. Normal drive-thru.
Great. If anything, a little bit quiet.
So, are you still there, Ben?
Yeah, I'm in the drive-thru.
There's seven cars. Are you already in the drive-thru?
Are you in there? Yeah, I wasn't mucking around, guys. Alright's seven cars. Are you already in the drive-thru? Are you there? Yeah, I wasn't
mucking around, guys. Alright, okay, we're going to have to text you
our order. Okay, we'll be back with Producer Ben
and see if he can get our food within
two songs. He might have it, yeah, next
when we come back. We'd love your messages as well.
Bree and Clint, here's Benny on ZM.
Everyone else has left now.
Bree and Clint. On level three, we
have sent our producer to get us some KFC.
He's currently sitting in the drive-thru at KFC Ponsonby in Auckland.
Producer Ben, come in.
Yeah, g'day, guys.
I'm actually quite close.
I'm only two cars away now.
Oh, what?
Are you?
They're moving quick down there, aren't they?
I thought when you said there were seven cars in there,
once we factor in social distancing and a slow start-up and everything like that,
that you were going to be in there for a long, long time.
But it sounds like you're close to victory.
Yeah, really close.
Two cars in front of me have already pulled out,
but there's a bike here.
There's a kid on a bike.
Is that allowed?
Nah.
I think in these circumstances, they might be allowing it.
Actually, you kind of have to allow it, I think,
because you can't go in and get it.
So that's discriminating against people who don't have cars.
What if you don't have a car?
What if you don't have a car?
What if you did some drink driving and you lost your driver's licence?
You deserve KFC.
Actually, no, you deserve it.
Actually, no.
No, you don't.
Okay, so you've got our order.
How long do you think you've been in there for?
About nine minutes so far.
How much longer do you think it's going to take?
We're already moving now,
so I'm already in it.
I reckon another 15 minutes,
maybe back to the studio in 20.
Okay, all right.
I'm happy with that.
Jeez, this is going very well.
We've asked you around the country
for your drive-through updates
just so we can get an idea
because this is why
we did this experiment.
It's not about us getting KFC.
No, no, not at all.
I mean, that's just a byproduct
of the experiment.
In fact, I'll be happy
if we don't get any KFC. Yeah,
same. Ben, did you
turn Ben off so he can't hear this?
You didn't hear that, did you, Ben? Yeah, I definitely
didn't hear that. Okay, cool.
It's more for you guys.
So we have gathered a few messages
for you, and this is like a weather
forecast. Yeah, yeah. I just
drove past the Maccas in Ormiston in Auckland.
The line was out onto the road
and wrapping around
the corner, clogging up the main intersection.
20 plus cars easy.
What about
the one, the McDonald's in Pakuranga
overflow. Apparently around
30 cars are backed up, so
try going to a different one.
McDonald's in New Plymouth is pumping.
They even closed the Countdown car park. What? Yeah, party in the's in New Plymouth is pumping. They even closed the Countdown car park.
What?
Yeah, party in the McDonald's New Plymouth car park.
Oh, jeez.
The queue for Maccas at Hamilton in Greenwood Street
was out the driveway, back down the road about 300 metres.
Hot damn.
I've been in the queue.
This text came in a little while ago,
but hopefully it's cleared up.
I've been in the queue for 15 minutes at a little while ago but hopefully it's cleared up I've been in the queue
for 15 minutes
at Green Lane
I'm nearing the window
so that's positive stuff too
15 or 50?
Oh 50 minutes
50 minutes
look
that's commitment
I applaud that
I think today
you've got to be happy
with anything under an hour
yep
I honestly do
I think that's what
you need to go into
this expecting
yeah
it would be helpful if we could all agree to listen to the same radio station in the queue under an hour. Yep. I honestly do. I think that's what you need to go into this expecting. Yeah.
It would be helpful if we could all agree
to listen to the same radio station
in the queue
because then we could have
like our own little bubble parties.
Oh, that'd be fun.
We could be going off.
God, if only there was a radio station
that we could all get, you know?
If only there was one we could promote.
If only there was one
we wanted to recommend.
Anyway.
Anyway, I'm looking forward
to that KFC.
Ben, you got the KFC yet?
One away guys We're pretty good
Yeah
Bree and Clint
He's still in
You still in the drive through at KFC Ben?
You still there?
Yeah still there mate
One car away though
One car
God he's been pretty quick
Yeah he's coming up on 20 minutes
Not too bad
Not too bad
Alright you keep going, mate.
We'll check in with him a little later.
Look, I've got some good news for people if they're looking for a job
whilst doing it in lockdown.
And this is really easy to do from lockdown.
Okay, is it selling everything you own on Trade Me?
No, but we know you're doing that already.
I've got that job down pat.
Which I'm jealous.
I kind of want to do that.
Oh, get into it.
It's so much fun.
I feel like an entrepreneur.
I did go on a bit of a trade me selling rampage at the end of last year.
I feel like a small business owner.
I think I'm going to vote national.
You know, it's crazy.
It's funny how much you swing straight away.
You know, come on.
You've sold a pair of pants on trade me.
I'm employing people.
One person.
I'm employing one person.
Well, this might be even better than selling stuff on Trade Me.
In my opinion, it could be because I'm into true crime docos.
I have been watching quite a few true crime documentaries
on Netflix.
Have you?
I watched The Staircase.
Oh, yeah.
Haven't you watched that yet?
No, I've watched it, yeah.
Oh, right.
I watched Making a Murderer. No, you. Haven't you watched that yet? No, I've watched that, yeah. Oh, right. I watched Making a Murderer.
No, you're just saying famous true crime docos now.
Yeah, those are the ones I've watched.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I was telling you about earlier a documentary I watched literally yesterday,
and it's about Aaron Hernandez who played for the Patriots in the NFL.
Yeah.
And it's a true crime doco about how they caught him
and he'd murdered a couple of guys and was playing in the NFL
and nearly won a Super Bowl for them all whilst...
Murdering.
Yeah, literally.
Doing some murdering.
It was crazy.
Anyway, so I've been watching that.
But there's a company that's actually calling out for all crime junkies,
so people who love to get into this stuff.
I'm not the biggest person.
I find once I watch a little bit, it kind of gets quite taxing on you.
You know my wife's obsessed with this stuff.
She loves it.
So this could be right up Lucy's alley.
Yeah, this could be her post-maternity leave job.
Yeah, she would love this.
This could be for her.
So essentially what they want to do, they're going to award someone $1,000
and all they have to do is binge watch
24 hours of crime documentary
straight. Oh, really?
That's not bad.
Yeah, it's good, but 24
hours. 24 hours is quite a lot.
They can get quite texting, those docos.
That's what I mean. Like, after I watched
that Don't F with Cats one,
I was like, I need to go outside
and smell some flowers or something.
You need to see something happy, eh?
Like it's too much blood.
It's full on.
It's too much talk about blood splatter and...
Too full on.
Yeah, stab wounds.
Someone like your wife, Lucy, who is obsessed with this type of stuff.
She can do it, yeah.
I just don't want to do it.
She could probably be an actual real good candidate for it.
So essentially they'll get 48 hours to watch 24 full hours of content.
So they don't have to do it for one day straight.
Oh, they can do 12 hours, 12 hours.
Yeah, if they want to.
So one day, which I mean, that's doable.
Yeah.
Especially in lockdown at the moment.
Yeah, she can do it.
She's got plenty of time up her sleeve.
What's she doing?
Raising a baby or something?
I mean, yeah, how much time and effort does that take?
No time at all.
The baby, it's about time the baby was exposed to some true crime anyway.
Yeah, let's do it.
Yeah, the baby would really enjoy it.
The baby might be like some kind of crime savant and all of a sudden
she's like the Doogie Howser of crime.
Can you imagine?
And we've got this little detective baby.
Oh, my God, detective baby.
She's got a tiny little badge, a tiny little gun
and a tiny little pair of handcuffs.
Dress her up in a Sherlock Holmes outfit. That's when the baby gets real cute. Yeah, right. Okay, get her a tiny little badge, a tiny little gun, and a tiny little pair of handcuffs. Dress her up in a Sherlock Holmes outfit.
That's when the baby gets real cute.
Yeah, right.
Okay, get her a tiny little pipe.
Yeah.
So anyway, if you want to apply for it,
mangelin.tv forward slash dream job.
mangelin.tv forward slash dream job.
You know, just that really popular platform.
Yeah, I love mangelin.tv.
Mangelin TV.
Thanks for the opportunity, Brie.
You're welcome.
Ben, you got our KFC yet? Yeah, talking about mangalin.tv. Platform, mangalin.tv. Thanks for the opportunity, Brie. You're welcome.
Ben, you got our KFC yet?
Yeah, talking about dream jobs, guys.

Yes!
What a guy.
Stop the clock.
Our hero.
25 minutes to collect KFC from the drive-thru at the Auckland Ponsonby restaurant.
Pretty good.
You're welcome, New Zealand. It's a perfect unit. Brie and Clint. My hero. KFC from the drive-thru at the Auckland Ponsonby restaurant. Pretty good. You're welcome, New Zealand.
Bree and Clint.
My hero.
Hot KFC, yeah.
He got nominated for a radio award today.
And can I just say, well deserved.
Thanks, mate.
I didn't think it before this.
This is some of the best producing you've ever done, my friend.
Thanks, mate.
You should do more of this producing.
Tomorrow.
Yeah.
Oh, tomorrow's good, mate. You should do more of this producing. Tomorrow. Yeah. Oh, tomorrow's good, yep. Brie and I were saying, all jokes aside,
like it's a small freedom that New Zealanders have been afforded today
to go and get KFC or Maccas or BK or whatever you're having.
It seems trivial,
but it's probably the little morale boost that the country needs.
As Bear Grylls teaches us in his show,
it's the little things that boost your morale that keep you going.
So don't drink your wee, get some takeaway.
Shop local New Zealand and all that stuff.
We're in this together, so it's all good.
On that note, I've actually got some news for Good Feeling News this afternoon.
Oh, I love Good Feeling News. This is a really lovely news this afternoon. Oh, I love good feeling news.
This is a really lovely one this afternoon too
and it's across the Dutch over in Melbourne
and it's a cafe owner who's spoken out on Facebook
about a stranger's kind act that he never expected to get.
Okay.
So essentially people over in Aussie, same as here,
they've been awarded, certain people have been awarded
that cash injection.
Oh, from the government?
From the government.
Yeah.
Like we're going to get over here, certain people.
Fingers crossed.
Fingers crossed.
Anyway, so a lot of the time obviously the government's plan
is that they want you to spend it and put it back into businesses
and, you know, reinvigorate the economy.
Yeah, that's the whole idea.
That's the idea.
Anyway, a guy by the name of Pierre Patol who owns a cafe
in Brighton East called Timbuktu Cafe took to Facebook
to share the contents of an envelope that was placed
under the cafe's door.
So essentially he got to the cafe and he picked up this envelope
and it was $798.
So it was a cash donation along with a note that explained
that the money was from an elderly couple
who had recently received the government support payment.
Yeah.
And they pretty much said that they didn't need anything
and they were being told to spend this money. And because they didn't need anything, they wanted to
donate it to a business which they felt was doing the same thing as spending the money.
Wow. So yeah, so pretty much they said that they go to the cafe often and they just wanted to say
thank you for your ever smiling welcome despite all of these hard times it helps us get through i hope this helps you in
a small way that is so generous isn't that lovely but maybe it makes me a bad person but i'm like
why didn't you buy 798 worth of like coffee cards well true you know why don't you go you have this
money you need it well they already go there don't I know, right? And next time you show up,
like, and again, again, beautiful
thing, not taking anything away from it, but
did you put your name on the bottom of the letter? So that
when you go in there next time and you order your
eggs, Benny, and your cappuccinos
and they, is there a small
expectation that they go, this one's on
the house, or at least, we'll take
the coffees off, you know?
Something like that. No no it's good feeling
news it's nice a list has been released and it gets released every single year this is really
interesting it's about the brands that new zealanders trust the most it's not the brands
that we use the most it's not even the brands that are the most popular in the supermarket or
in the stores like this it's just when you hear like a certain type of thing,
your brain goes, oh yeah, that's a good one.
That's the one that I like.
That's the best one.
Yeah.
So there's a lot of emotion involved
and I'd argue there's a lot of history involved
with these as well.
Nostalgia too.
Yeah, nostalgia will be in there.
So what I thought is this afternoon,
we could go through a few of the categories.
Okay.
And you having been in New Zealand
for about two and a half years now.
Okay.
See if you're in tune with the New Zealand psyche
and see if you can guess what the most popular,
what the most trusted brand is in each of these things.
Okay?
All right, here we go.
I've got some help for you too.
If you need, you can call on Producer Ben or Producer Ellie
to help you in any of the categories,
but see how you go on your own.
Okay?
Let's start off.
According to this survey, what is New Zealand's most trusted, we'll start with something easy.
What's New Zealand's most trusted chocolate?
This is pretty easy, I think.
But I mean, I love all the chocolates.
My favourite's Cadbury, but I'm pretty sure it's Whittaker's.
Whittaker's is correct.
The best. The best.
The best.
Okay.
Okay.
What is New Zealand's most trusted, oh, here's a good one.
What's New Zealand's most trusted bank?
Oh, that's hard.
Bank.
Oh, God.
Which bank do we trust the most?
Which one do we go, you know what, you're good, guys.
You've got my best interests at heart.
That's a really hard one for me.
I'm just going to say my bank, ANZ.
Wrong.
Is it Kiwi Bank?
Kiwi Bank, yeah.
Thought so.
It's in the title, right?
It's like if they called a bank All Blacks Bank.
It's your bank.
Yeah.
Okay, what is New Zealand's most trusted biscuit maker?
Is it Arnott's?
Incorrect.
That's Australia's
most trusted biscuit maker.
New Zealand's
most trusted biscuit maker
is Griffin's.
Oh.
And Arnott's
came in second.
Right, okay.
Okay,
here's one that
if you need help
you should consult
Producer Ben.
What is New Zealand's most trusted brand of barbecue?
Ooh.
Yeah, Producer Ben, do you know that?
He'll know it.
I feel like he'll know it.
I think he might have one of these, actually.
Yeah.
I don't know.
I mean, geez, it could be anything.
There's so many good barbecues out there, obviously.
I want to say Broil King.
Broil King?
I don't know.
Okay, let's lock in.
It's popular.
Yep, let's lock it in.
Incorrect.
New Zealand's most trusted barbecue is a Weber.
Oh, I should have went with my gut.
See, not all of these are New Zealand brands.
It's just the brand that we trust the most.
Should have went with my gut.
Okay, rapid fire.
I want the brand that comes to mind first.
Don't overthink these, okay?
What is New Zealand's most trusted bread?
Faster. Fogel. Fogel is correct. See, don't overthink it. okay? What is New Zealand's most trusted bread? Faster.
Fogel.
Fogel is correct.
See, don't overthink it.
It'll come to you.
What is New Zealand's most trusted car?
Oh.
Toyota?
Correct.
What is New Zealand's most trusted cheese?
Oh, that's hard.
Is it?
I don't even know a brand. Yeah. Oh, I'm hard. Is it? I don't even know a brand.
Yeah.
Oh, I'm trying to see it.
Dairy Farm?
Is that a brand?
Mainland.
That's the one I was trying to think of, so I get that point.
Very topical.
What's our most trusted brand of cleaning product?
Oh.
Dettol. Dettol.
Dettol is correct.
It's in the studio.
What is New Zealand's most trusted cooking stock?
Honestly, there is everything on this list.
Chicken?
No, which brand?
Incorrect.
It's Campbell's.
Campbell's, of course.
Campbell's Real Stock.
Yep, yep.
What is New Zealand's most trusted brand of dog food?
Oh, Powell?
No, not Powell.
It's Tux.
Is it?
Tux is New Zealand's.
Tux keeps them full of life, you know?
Lean and mean and full of fight.
And full of beat.
It is a fiddle working feed for the working dog or something.
What's our most trusted brand of electronics?
That would have to be Samsung.
Correct, it is Samsung.
I thought so.
What is our most trusted
brand of heat pump?
Oh, I know this.
Honestly, there's every
single category on this thing.
Is it Mitsubishi?
Mitsubishi's incorrect.
They make a hell of a good heat pump,
but no, New Zealanders
enjoy a Fujitsu.
Oh yeah, Fujitsu do.
Really good air con.
You should fit a Fujitsu.
Yeah.
And we could go on about this forever because there's a category for everything.
But let's finish with, I don't think you'll get this.
Because this one surprised me.
Okay.
What is New Zealand's most trusted brand of shampoo and conditioner?
I'm going to go real left field.
Is it Head and shoulders?
She's done it.
I knew it!
It's head and shoulders.
It's head and shoulders above the rest.
There's a lot of New Zealanders with dandruff out there, I guess.
Maybe that's what it is.
Yeah, they say people really like it.
I've never used it, but I've heard it's good.
Oh, give it a go.
Yeah, I might.
It's New Zealand's most trusted brand of shampoo.
There you go.
Must be good.
Give it a go and then pop yourself under the Fujitsu
and just let your hair dry naturally, you know? Must be good. Give it a go and then pop yourself under the Fujitsu and just let your hair
dry naturally, you know?
Brie and Clint.
Oh my God.
I heard she bought
all her followers.
She would.
She's such a bitch.
It's time
for Brie and Clint's
Insta Fame Game.
Special shout out
to all the other
wonderful restauranteurs
and their employees today
who are returning to work.
We love you all, especially the small operators,
the mum and dad fish and chip shops,
the corner Indian takeaway store.
Yeah, actually go get some takeaway tonight
and help those businesses out.
Ronald and the whole McDonald family.
You know, you're all in our thoughts.
In the meantime...
Oh, Hamburglar.
Producer Ellie is here for a game of the Insta Fame Game.
Hi, Ellie.
Hello.
G'day.
Hello, thanks for having me.
This is the game where we try and guess how many followers celebrities have on Instagram.
Ellie gives them to us.
Who's first, Ellie?
All right, today, first up, they are performing at Float at Home,
which we just announced this morning, which is happening on the 9th of May.
It's Drax Project.
Oh, Drax are back on board.
I do love the boys.
How many Instagram followers?
They've had some overseas success.
All right, for Drax Project, Clint, you've said 109,000.
Bree, you've said 100,000.
Drax Project have 59.9,000, so that's a point to Bree.
They need more.
They do deserve more, yes.
But I will take the point.
Yeah, girl. All I will take the point. Yeah, girl.
All right, your next one.
He's in a doco at the moment on Netflix called The Last Dance.
A legendary basketballer.
Scotty Pippen.
That one's good too, but I've got Michael Jordan today, folks.
Probably more well-known to everyone, I'd say.
How many Instagram followers?
Do you reckon Michael Jordan does his own Instagram?
I don't reckon he would.
No.
I don't know.
Yeah, I don't know.
It'll be a brand manager who's putting up shoes for him
but still, he's the king.
So...
I'm just going to throw it out there.
Alright, for Michael Jordan, you've put 9 million.
Clint and Bray, you've put 2 million.
Michael Jordan has 20.3 million.
He's got a lot there.
It just goes to show how big of a
legend that guy is.
He's Michael Bloody Jordan.
Even though he probably wouldn't be posting funny stuff on Instagram all the time.
He's pre-Instagram.
That's the thing.
He is.
Way before.
That's why I was scared to go big.
Yeah, totally.
He's also notoriously quite private.
So, interesting.
Yeah, okay.
One all.
That doco is amazing, by the way.
Get on Netflix and watch it.
Yeah, I'm enjoying it.
All right, your next one.
She's a Glee star, and she's just announced she's pregnant with her husband.
Lea Michele.
Lea Michele.
That's the one.
Who's her husband?
Yeah, look, I didn't get that research.
You'll just have to Google that.
Someone else from Glee?
Yeah, maybe.
All right, for Lea Michele, Clint, you put $13 million.
Brie, you put $7.6 million.
Lea Michele has $6.2 million. Game. Point to Brie. Nice. Very talented Lea Michele, Clint, you put $13 million. Bree, you put $7.6 million. Lea Michele has $6.2 million.
Point to Bree.
Nice.
Very talented, Lea Michele.
She's amazing.
She was kind of being groomed a little bit to become the next Ellen DeGeneres.
Remember, she was the go-to host for that show for a bit.
Yeah, she did do quite a lot of that.
Yeah.
There you go.
All right, your next one.
He's also performing at Float at Home on May 9th.
Dave Dobbin.
Dave Dobbin. Oh, no. Dave Dobbin. Dave Dobbin.
Oh, no.
Yeah, no.
Mitch Dobbin.
No, Mitch James.
Mitch James.
James.
Sunday.
How many is it going to be for Mitch James?
Sunday morning.
The girls bloody froth a bit of Mitch James.
Yeah, they do love a bit of Mitch James.
So surely he's got something like this.
All right.
For Mitch James, Clint, you put 70K.
Bree, you put 38K.
Mitch James has 28.7K.
Dead end.
That is a game to Bree.
Well done.
Thank you, mate.
I don't think I've won for a while, so I'm happy with that win.
That's true.
Excuse you.
I'm in the studio with you now.
I will come over there.
No, you can't.
You can't go into a bubble.
You can't touch me.
Yeah, but I can throw something from over here.
Pretty exciting news, as I said earlier
over the weekend.
My sister gave birth to
my first nephew, little baby
Jonty. Joined the
family and made my parents
grandparents for the first time.
It's so exciting for the whole family
and a baby at a time like this is kind of like, it's like getting fast
food back. I mean it's a bit more important but it's like getting fast food back. It's like a
happy moment. It does create the same feeling in your stomach most of the time.
And we wanted to get Mama Di as she's more commonly
known on our show on. Just to talk about what you're going to be called
now Mama Di.
First of all, congratulations and welcome to the show,
formerly known as Mama Di.
Oh, guys, thank you so much.
It's such an exciting time.
It's so good to have something positive, isn't it?
It is.
It is.
And like Bree was saying, this is your first time becoming a grandparent,
isn't it?
Yes, it is. And I still don't think I'm old enough, but I mean,
you know. That's what I was going to ask. Does it change anything within you when
that happens? Like have you instantly started like you've found yourself. Dying your hair grey. Yeah, or knitting yourself
doilies or putting a blue rinse through or anything like that?
Well, I don't know about that, but Stephen made a comment the other day that he doesn't know if he
likes sleeping with a nana, so I don't know about that, but Stephen made a comment the other day that he doesn't know if he likes sleeping with a nana,
so I don't know about that.
Oh, what about you?
What if you don't like sleeping with the granddad?
Yeah.
Yeah, the only thing is, Brianna,
remember Dad's a little bit younger than me, so.
About six months.
True.
No, you are the cougar in this situation,
and I think maybe now you've graduated to more of a snow leopard.
And that's what we need to talk to you about.
It's about with the changing of roles comes the changing of names.
And Bree interestingly made the point that it's up to the grandparents
what they want to be called, isn't it?
I think most of the time it is.
It was in our family, and it's very convenient when the grandparents
on either side of the family decide to be something different.
When some are called like Nanny and Papa and the others are called Grandma and Grandad.
Yeah.
It can get confusing when they both want to be the same.
Yeah, because then do they duel?
Do they fight it out as to who gets Nana?
Well, then you've got to chuck on Nanny Di.
True.
Right.
Oh, I like that, Clint.
Nanny Di.
I like that.
Yeah, I like that. Nanny Di-di or Nanny Di-di, maybe. Nanny Di. I like that. Yeah, I like that.
Nanny Didi or Nanny Di Di, maybe.
Nanny Di Di.
Yeah.
Well, because you guys have got a strong Italian theme running through the family,
but mainly on Steve's side.
Do you want to be Nonna?
Is that something that you want to be?
Absolutely not.
All right, so that's out.
Did you have a name in mind, Mum, what you wanted to be called?
Well, I think on Simon's side, I think Nanny has already been taken.
Oh, so wait, Simon's your son-in-law, yeah?
Yes. He's the father.
Yes.
So Nanny's gone.
You can't have Nanny.
Well, I think it's Nan's been taken, which was my mother,
and Stephen said he'd have nightmares if I was called Nan.
So I called my mum's parents Nan and Pa.
Yeah, right.
Okay.
It gets so complicated.
It does.
Because you can make up your own one.
You don't have to be called that.
You can make up something completely different.
Yeah, you can be called Auntie Oogie Boogie if you want.
Yeah.
One of my friends called her grandma, I think it was Juju.
Juju.
Yeah. That's cute. Yeah, one of my friends called her grandma, I think it was Juju. Juju. Yeah.
That's cute.
Yeah, I think your suggestion sounds really good, Clint.
I reckon that's up with a really good tick.
Come on.
Nanny die.
Yeah, nanny die.
Is that too big of a mouthful for a little?
It's fine.
We just need to know because that's what you'll be referred to
on this show going forward.
I'm not calling her nanny. She's not my nanny.
You can't expect your mother to answer to multiple names. Oh, so I get it now.
So I completely lose my mum. Yes, you do. You're not important anymore.
Has this not sunk in yet? No, it's sunk in a little while ago.
There's a baby here. God, they take up all the attention.
So selfish. Alright, let's go with nanny die then, Mum.
Yeah, what do you reckon?
I reckon that's the way to go.
And Dad does want to be called Nunu.
Nanny die and Nunu.
Nunu and nanny die, is that what you want?
Yes, which in this country, Mum, you know what?
Hey, Mum, you know what Nunu means in this country?
Well, what does it mean, Brianna?
Bum.
It means bum. Oh, Brianna? Bum. It means bum.
Oh, Brianna.
You made that up.
We did it.
No, we didn't.
I had a pretty good weekend, Clint.
Thanks for asking.
But I got quite upset over something that I actually found out
over the weekend.
So you didn't have a good weekend?
No, except for this one part.
Oh, right.
But you didn't let it ruin your weekend? I didn't let it ruin my the weekend. So you didn't have a good weekend? No, except for this one part. Oh, right, but you didn't let it ruin your weekend?
I didn't let it ruin my whole weekend.
Good attitude.
But it definitely could have because it was that big of a thing.
Now, look, I want everyone listening,
if you're a massive high school musical fan,
I want you to just brace yourself.
Oh, that's producer Ellie.
Yep, producer Ellie.
She's uncomfortably keen on high school musical.
I'm braced.
You and I do share the same love for Troy Bolton and the whole crew.
And look, this upset me quite a lot.
I felt like I'd been lied to.
I felt, you know, a lot of pain.
And I just want you to keep that in mind with what I'm about to tell you.
Jeez, this sounds bloody serious.
It's pretty full on.
So we all know the massive, huge hit song from High School Musical,
Breaking Free.
It's so big we included it in our DJ set last year.
Huge, right?
It means a lot.
It transcends genres.
It means a lot to a lot of people.
And, of course, it's Vanessa Hudgens and Zac Efron,
the two main characters, embracing and finally realising,
you know, that they're going to be together.
What I didn't realise, and maybe this is me being naive
and maybe everyone already knew this and I'm the dum-dum here
or maybe this is something that I'm about to blow wide open.
Yeah. Did you guys know that that is not Zac Efron singing the whole time?
Ellie?
I've heard rumours and I didn't want to believe them, but is this true?
So wait.
Oh, no.
So I'm about to really blow this thing wide open.
Oh, no.
So I've got a clip here.
Yeah.
Play the first clip.
This is Zac Efron.
We're soaring, flying.
There's not a star in heaven that we can't reach.
It sounds great.
It sounds amazing.
It sounds great.
This next clip, which is the very next part for Zac Efron in the song,
is not Zac Efron.
Can you hear it?
Yeah.
Listen.
Not him.
Yeah, that guy's full Nick Jonas.
It's a guy named Drew Sealy who actually wrote the song Get Your Head in the Game.
He wrote that song and he also did most of the singing in the first high school musical movie.
But why?
Because Zac Efron couldn't hit the notes.
I've got a lot of questions.
That's why.
I've got a lot of questions.
Yeah.
Vanessa Hudgens, is that her or we don't know?
I'm pretty sure that's her.
Would they get Demi Lovato to do BBs or something?
Yeah, Selena Gomez jumped on.
Okay, jump forward a few years.
What about The Greatest Showman?
Is that Hugh Jackman singing?
Well, we can't believe anything anymore.
I thought that's why we were casting Zac Efron in musicals,
because of all the great work he did in High School Musical.
You know who I feel bad for?
I feel bad for poor little Drew Sealy.
He's an actor-singer as well.
He gets none of the praise, none of the accolades.
It's bloody Zac Efron taking all the fame.
There he is on the screen.
He's handsome-ish.
Oh, he's not bad.
I mean, he's no Zac Efron.
He's cute.
Yeah.
He's cute.
I mean, he was probably too old for the role.
But, you know, did you guys know that?
No, and I've never noticed it like that until you've played it now.
Let's play it one more time.
Can you play the song?
Should we play it?
Yeah, play the first clip first.
So the clip that is Zac?
That is Zac.
This is Zac Efron.
We're soaring, flying.
There's not a star in heaven that we can't reach.
Pretty good.
This is not Zac Efron.
No, the world can see us. Pretty good. This is not Zac Efron.
When you point it out, it's a completely different voice, isn't it?
Now that you've said so, I feel pretty stupid.
Don't you feel cheated?
I do.
I feel dumb.
I was like, it's clearly not Zac Efron.
Plus his microphone wasn't even plugged in.
Matt, it was lip syncing the whole time.
Bree and Clint.
Hey.
It's my birthday.
It's my birthday.
Bree and Clint's birthday banger.
Alright,
birthday banger
for a Tuesday.
Clint's got heartburn
from the KFC.
He has scoffed
just earlier.
I feel real sick.
Yeah,
I feel a bit off too.
It was worth it.
No regrets.
I ate too fast.
No regrets,
but I don't feel good. Alright, your birthday banger.
We'll take your birthday and we'll figure out what was the
number one song on your 16th birthday.
Tom! Hello Tom.
Hello, how are we? Good, how are you
mate? Yeah, not too bad.
Have you had any takeaways on
level three yet? I'm not
going to lie with you guys, I'm actually in the line right now
to get Maccas. What are you
getting?
I haven't actually decided yet.
Definitely a triple cheeseburger, and then we'll go from there.
Yeah, right.
What do you mean, and we'll go from there?
Is a triple cheeseburger three patties, three slices of cheese?
Is that what it is?
Yeah.
Far out.
Yeah.
You should just go the whole hog and get a pounder.
Yeah.
I was thinking maybe just getting a family box. Yeah. I'm having this myself.
Family box. Family box, yeah.
Hey, let's do your birthday banger.
What's your birthday, Tom?
It's December 30th, 1995.
All right.
You were 16 in 2011 on the 30th of December.
And Tom, this is your birthday banger.
Oh, I'm just looking for a good night, oh.
That's exactly what you're in for with your family box.
Yeah.
A good time.
We're exhausted.
It's great, I guess.
Hey, we've had worse, Tom.
Yeah, okay, wait there.
Let's get one for people.
Pawnee.
Pawnee, hi.
Hi.
Hello.
What's your birthday, Pawnee?
16th of March, 1997.
All right, you were 16 in 2013 on the 16th of March.
And in 2013, this had a number one hit.
Huge.
Oh, iconic.
Oh, my God.
Guess what?
You saw Lorde again and you punched her in the...
No.
So, my partner was like
Oh, I'm going to go down to the shops
Do you want to come?
And I was like, nah, I'm quite tired
And then got quite grumpy at me
She got back and she goes
Guess who I saw on my walk
And I was like, who?
She goes, Lorde
Yeah, this is a good thing
I was like, no
Because last time you saw Lorde
You ended up like pushing your hand into her ribge. Yeah, it was probably a good thing
I wasn't there. You don't have good Lorde experiences.
And that time you secretly filmed her.
Anyway, it's not about Bree, it's about you, Pawnee.
Are you happy with your birthday banger being Lorde Royals?
Yeah, it's a banger.
It's a huge song.
Wait there, Pawnee. One more for Sam. Hey, Sam.
Hi, Sammy. How's it going?
Good. How are you, mate?
I'm good.
Bad line. Check us it going? Good. How are you, mate? I'm good. Oh, we're losing him.
Bad line.
Check us your birthday real fast.
January 6, 1995.
Right.
You were 16 in 2011.
On the 6th of January, he's a Capricorn,
and this is his birthday back.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah, but would he actually? I catch a grenade, oh yeah. Throw my hand on a blade.
Yeah, but would he actually?
Also, if someone's throwing grenades at a woman that you're interested in.
Not cool.
No, you need to ask what she's been doing.
Like, what is this woman up to that people want to blade her and grenade her?
You know, you need to re-examine your choice in women.
Yeah, not normal circumstances.
How do you feel about it, Sam?
Is your birthday banger? Yeah, I'm happy with Beemar. It's better than Reese M women. They are not normal circumstances. How do you feel about it, Sam? Is your birthday banger?
Yeah, I'm happy with Beemar.
It's better than Reece Messon.
Better than Reece Messon.
Wow, so says you.
He probably should change the lyrics to make them more relatable.
Like, I'd go to KFC for you.
Yeah, yeah.
I would get a wicked wing for you.
Yeah, yeah.
You know, just something more relatable. So basically he'd just go to KFC for you. Hey, I. You know, just something more relatable.
So basically,
he'd just go to KFC for you.
Hey, I'd be happy with that.
I vote Rhys Mastin.
Me too.
Oh, good.
We're in agreeance.
Very good.
Yeah, a bit of Rhys Mastin.
Let's get up to Tom in the McDonald's drive-thru.
Congrats, man.
Enjoy your triple cheeseburger

Oh, same thing.
Have a good night, Tom.

It feels so wrong.

Zinni and Brianne Clint
Just looking for a good night.
That's the Masty.
I don't say Masty on the radio.
It is.
That's Big Masty.
Reece Mastin, the winner of Birthday Banger.
Imagine if you named a abbreviated to Masty.
Right?
I'm just Googling, does Reece Mastin have a girlfriend?
Bets in, bets in.
Does he have a girlfriend? He'll have a girlfriend, Bets in, bets in. Does he have a girlfriend?
He'll have a girlfriend, yeah.
He's a cool guy.
He was dating old Rhiannon Fish from Home and Away for a while, wasn't he?
Yes, he dated her.
And then he also dated current Neighbours star, Bonnie Anderson.
Well, he went from Home and Away to Neighbours.
He moved from Summer Bay to Ramsey Street.
Are there any more iconic soaps?
He needs to date Kim from Kath & Kim.
That's who he's moving on to next from Fountain Likes.
Does he have a girlfriend?
As of 2020, Rhys Mastin is not dating anyone.
That's good.
Producer Ali, are you still keen?
No, unfortunately, I have a bloody boyfriend.
God, he ruins everything.
He does.
How old do we think Reece Mastin is?
27.
26.
22.
He's 25.
Knew it.
Nice.
Can I just say, Ali,
Reece Mastin doesn't care if you've got a boyfriend.
Doesn't matter to Mastin. Let's call her boyfriend
to see if he cares.
There's talk at the moment
of us setting up what's called a
Trans-Tasman Bubble, Bree.
It's a big bubble. It's a big bubble.
A cross
Tasman bubble that means that Aussies
can come here, we can go there and we just COVID ourselves into this bubble.
We go, we both recover.
We just stay away from the rest of the world.
We can reinvigorate each other's economies because the Aussies
will bring money here and the Kiwis will bring money there.
And we can go to the Gold Coast.
So it's good.
It's good.
It's nice.
So, yeah.
I like the idea.
I think it's a great idea.
I think it's smart and a lot of countries around the world
wouldn't have an opportunity like that where they're that close
with another country and that they can do that kind of thing.
We shouldn't just play the New Zealand national anthem, by the way.
We need to play the Australian one too.
I'm so glad you're thinking of us.
Thank you.
Is this the anthem?
Sorry.
No, no, that's the anthem.
Sorry, that was a silly joke.
That's the more well-known anthem.
Here is the updated one. Is this the anthem? Sorry. No, no, that's the anthem. Sorry, that was a silly joke. That's the more well-known anthem. Harry.
That's the updated one.
Sorry, I'm sorry.
This is not the anthem.
I'm sorry.
This is so rude of me.
The funny part is Rhys Mastin's actually English.
But he was Australian X Factor.
Yeah, but they migrated over from England when he was young or something.
Yeah, well, most of you migrated over from England.
Yeah, well, that's true.
If we're going to set up a Trans-Tasman bubble,
this is the chance for our two countries to unite
and finally become one con...
Ooh, that was close.
Oh!
Finally become one country is what I was trying to say.
You tried to mix continent and country
and it nearly ended up in something really bad.
Nearly went south rapidly.
So we need to tick off a couple of things.
And I think you and I, as a trans-Tasman partnership,
we're the ones to figure this out.
We're going to lead the charge.
The only other people who could figure this out are Jason and PJ.
So hopefully they're doing their work on that side of the ditch.
We'll do our work here.
And we'll do our work here.
Okay, great.
So first of all, we need to figure out if we're merging countries,
what's the name?
What are we called now?
We can't be called New Zealand and we can't be called Australia.
No, we need to come up with a new name.
Are we Aus-Zealand?
Aus-Zealand.
I was thinking...
New Australia?
Australand?
Australand.
Which I quite like.
Or I really like...
New Strayland. No. Whatand. Which I quite like. Or I really like. Newstraland.
No. What about
Zealia? Zealia.
Yep. Newzealia.
Newzealia. Yeah, cool.
I'm keen for that. Let's go
Newzealia. Okay, that's where we live.
What's the capital going to be?
Where is our government going to be based? Yeah, that's hard.
And I feel like this needs to be in neutral territory.
So the ocean?
Bit hard to get to. Set up an island in the ocean. Well, I think there is an island in the ocean.
Is there? Yeah, and it's one that neither of us really
care about. Perfect. Tasmania.
Yeah, we can put it in Tasmania. The capital is
Tasmania. You guys don't want it in your country
and it doesn't mean anything to us.
Let's reinvigorate that small part.
It's kind of in the middle too.
Okay, perfect.
Who's our Prime Minister?
Jacinda Ardern.
Yeah, good.
Thank you.
That's not even a discussion.
I was worried we were going to debate that one for a second.
No, absolutely not.
No, good.
Okay.
What's our national dish?
This is easy because we both argue that it's ours.
It's the pavlova and then we both have it.
Perfect.
There we go.
That's easy.
What's our national sport?
See, I thought about this.
What are your thoughts?
Well, we're very good at rugby.
And we're really bad at rugby.
Yeah.
You know what we're both really good at?
What?
Netball.
Oh, I like that.
We're both very good.
We're both at the top.
Damn.
And then imagine if we joined forces.
Okay, no one could beat us.
No one.
We would be unbeatable.
What's our country name again?
New Zealand.
New Zealand.
New Zealand.
Jamaica, suck on this.
Here comes New Zealand.
Yeah, look out.
All right, cool.
King for that.
What's our national animal?
I think I know what it is.
What is it?
So it needs to be an animal.
It can't be a kiwi and it can't be a kangaroo because we don't share them.
Each country, yeah, exactly.
And we can't be taking animals over.
No, we don't want to do that.
We're the same country, but we still have to have territories, okay?
So I think it needs to be an animal that we both have.
Oh, I know what it is.
An animal that we're both familiar with.
I think our national animal is a possum.
That's what I was going to say too.
Although Kiwis hate possums.
Yeah, we hate them, but we've got them, you know?
And there's heaps of them.
You've got a right to hate them.
They're a pest. Yeah, and you guys love them. So perfect them, you know? And there's heaps of them. You've got a right to hate them. They're a pest.
Yeah, and you guys love them, so perfect.
Yeah.
And finally.
I know this one.
I think I know this one too.
I made them over the weekend along with everyone else.
Oh, I forgot about that one.
Yeah, that's the answer.
What were you going to say?
What's our national biscuit?
It's definitely an Anzac biscuit.
Yeah, that's a really good idea actually.
Literally created for both of us.
I was going to say Tim Tam.
No.
Because you guys made them and we like them.
We can have two.
Anzac's better.
Anzac is the one.
We've already got a national biscuit.
We're fine.
I think we're done.
I think we're done.
That was pretty easy.
I think that's basically what they did when they wrote the Treaty of Waitangi.
I think that's just basically how it goes.
Then you'll bugger off and you'll have, oh, what's our national drink?
Oh, we're not done.
Back to the drawing board.
Now, look, Clint, we're very excited about this,
and it's a huge get for the show.
It's really big, yeah.
I don't know how we've managed to pull this off.
Even outside of lockdown, this would be a huge get for us.
Yeah, this is massive.
And you might have been seeing it on social media,
but one of the biggest New Zealand artists,
they've been all doing their thing and putting online concerts
on their social media, but no one bigger than this Kiwi artist.
No one has covered the, I mean, no one is as broad as this artist,
which I think is where their appeal comes from.
They appeal to everybody.
And the music they have been doing has been touching people in ways
I didn't think would happen.
It's been one of my favourite parts of lockdown.
Me too.
It's pretty incredible to watch.
And I can't believe he joins us on the phone right now.
Kiwi artist, Tom Sainsbury.
Hi, guys.
Oh, my God. This is huge for us, Tom.ainsbury. Hi, guys. Oh, my God.
This is huge for us, Tom.
Snapchat dude.
What an introduction.
What an introduction for such a humble artist as myself.
I know, right?
People said that when you did Paula Bennett,
that that's as good as it was going to get.
Little did they know that you would be providing
the emotional support that New Zealanders needed
during our time of need
with your daily solo Instagram concerts.
It's pretty amazing.
I know.
Who would have thought if I didn't?
You know, but then I was like,
I've got this gift to share.
I might as well share it.
You do have a gift.
You're right.
You do have a gift.
You've got a real gift.
I don't know exactly what that gift is,
but, you know, you're bringing happiness and joy to people
and you're just sharing online your amazing voice and talent.
People are calling you the next songbird of our generation.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Bikrunga, eat your heart out.
Yeah, go away, Bikrunga.
Tom Sainsbury's here.
Go away, Dave Dobbin.
Go away.
Get out of here, Dave Dobbin.
Yeah.
We've got a really big ask.
And I know that stars like you don't like to be put on the spot. They always want a fee.
And I know you usually want a
fee and that's not
possible at the moment
but we would kick ourselves
if we didn't just ask. We need to ask
Tom and you've been sharing your gift
online, obviously on socials, but we're
wondering if we could have a one
time only exclusive
radio performance from the Tom Sainsbury.
Of course.
Oh, my God.
I can't believe this is happening.
Okay, this is huge.
Can you guys do anything?
Are you guys ready?
Yeah, we're ready.
Yeah.
Can you explain like you do in your social like posts, like what it means to you and
stuff?
We'd love to hear it.
Yeah, of course.
Well, this for me, I guess, I mean, these guys have been, like when I was first doing concerts back in the early 2000s,
these guys really inspired me so much,
their kind of range and their uniqueness and originality.
So this was kind of a dedication to them.
So it's a bit of a medley.
I hope that's okay.
Oh my God, even better, even better.
Okay, Tom, when you're ready, the stage is yours.
Here is Tom Sainsbury with a ZM exclusive solo concert.
Let's get this started in here.
Boom, boom, pow.
Boom, boom, pow.
It's the remix.
Shut up.
Just shut up, shut up, shut up.
Just shut up, shut up.
I've had the time of my life.
And I owe it all to you, you dirty bit.
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.
Friday, Saturday, Saturday.
Where is the love?
Where is my home?
My lovely lady love.
Check it out.
Hey, mama.
There you go.
There you go. There you go.
Oh, my God.
I'm crying.
I'm so moved.
I'm so emotional.
I'm crying.
I didn't know when it was going to end.
I didn't want it to end.
And then all of a sudden, it just ended.
Holy shit, what a gift.
Leave them wanting more, I say.
Leave them wanting more.
And can I just say, Bree and I both saw William and the Black Eyed Peas
at Friday Jams Live this year.
That was better.
I reckon too.
That was better.
That was better.
Thanks, guys.
Yeah, I agree.
It's Tom Sainsbury with a solo concert for you.
Bree and Clint.
Bree and Clint.
Happy Level 3, everybody.
And the word du jour, now that we are in Level 3,
is fast food. It's what everybody's thinking about. It's what everybody wants. It's what most that we are in level three is fast food.
It's what everybody's thinking about. It's what everybody wants.
It's what most of us are eating at the moment.
It's like passing go on the Monopoly board
and you get something. Yeah right.
We've made our way around the board. We've done what we
needed to do and now it's time for our
reward responsibly. Okay we're not getting
we're not going to be stupid with this. And don't go
crazy about it. Don't go there every meal.
Treat yourself but you know still keep to your bubble as much as you can.
So I thought today, what better chance to bring back the fast food quiz.
I mean, I've excelled in it so much.
You've won two games just.
Literally just.
I thought you'd be better at this, but you're not.
So that's what's happened.
Taking you on today is the man who I know is going to stomp you into the ground
and throw a burger wrapper on you.
Oh!
Jack.
The smack talk.
Jack, welcome to the show.
How's it going?
G'day, Jack.
Have you got some takeaways yet?
No, I haven't.
Jack, I thought you were the man for the job.
I am, but the line's just too hectic at the moment.
No, no, okay, no, fair enough, okay.
I've got five questions.
It's best of five.
Your buzzer is your name,
so buzz in when you want to have a crack at the answer.
Sorry, Dad.
All right.
First question in the fast food quiz.
McDonald's opened its very first restaurant
in San Bernardino, California, in what year? food quiz. McDonald's opened its very first restaurant in
San Bernardino, California
in what year?
Now this is multi-choice.
Oh, that's hard. Was it
1950?
1955?
1960?
Or 1965?
Brie. Brie. I'm going to have a stab and say
1955. Damn it. I've watched to have a stab and say 1955.
Damn it.
I've watched that McDonald's movie.
I knew that was in my brain somewhere.
No, you just had a guess.
And that too.
Jack, get in there, mate.
Where were you?
I don't know.
You're asleep at the wheel, Jack. Jack's like, what do you want me to do?
Okay, here we go.
You got this one, Jack.
I know you can get this one.
If I was ordering a famous star, where would I be?
Famous star.
Jack.
Jack.
Lone Star.
Lone Star is not even fast food, Jack.
Oh, whoops.
It's a restaurant.
It's a sit-down restaurant far out.
Free guests, Bree.
Famous star.
Famous star. Famous star.
Anything?
I'm going to take a stab and say Wendy's.
No, Wendy's is what you say when you don't know all the answers.
No, it's Carl's Jr.
Oh, I was going to say that.
Okay, here we go.
Third question.
It's 1-0 to Bree.
And you should get this one, Jack.
In fact, you have a real competitive advantage over Bree.
This question's unfair.
Whose phone number is this?
0800 83 83 83.
Jack.
Jack.
Pizza Hut.
Pizza Hut, yeah.
Wouldn't have known that.
Yeah, Jack, welcome back.
Okay, it's one all.
Which of these, this is question number four,
which of these now defunct fast food brands had a kids club?
Was it Eagle Boys, Pizza Haven, or Georgie Pie?
Bree.
Bree.
Georgie Pie?
How the F?
You've never been to Georgie Pie.
How do you know that?
But I know what it's about.
Jack.
I couldn't get there in time.
No, we know that.
That's why you...
I don't even need to ask the last question
because she's done it with two again,
but I'm going to ask it anyway.
Jack.
Actually, no, actually, Jack, you can...
He could tie it up.
You could tie this up here
and then I'll have to ask my bonus question.
Okay, good.
All right.
How many ingredients are there in a BK Whopper?
Oh.
Jack.
Jack.
Five.
Okay, let me think about this.
I get a guess, right?
Yeah, you get a guess.
Buns.
Patty.
Does sauce count?
I'm going to say two sauces.
Onions.
Pickles.
Sex.
Damn it!
There's eight ingredients inside a BK Wobba.
I didn't know that.
You didn't need it.
You still won the game.
Bugger.
You're a bugger all right, Jack.
Thanks, Jack.
Oh, well.
You go well.
Thanks for trying, okay? We appreciate it. Say hello to Jill for us Thanks, Jack. Oh, well. You go well. Thanks for trying, okay?
We appreciate it.
Say hello to Jill for us.
Thank you, Jill.
We've put the call out for a morale-boosting request,
a song that we're playing every day at the moment,
especially while we're on lockdown,
which we essentially still are,
that's going to bring everyone's mood up.
You've had a big day indoors, probably eating,
and we need a song that's going to take us home.
We've been doing themes, and my mum suggested a song
for the morale-boosting song, which was
Ain't No Mountain High Enough.
Oh, baby, there ain't no mountain high enough.
Ain't no valley low enough.
That's a great song.
So I thought, let's do the theme, old school bangers for today.
This is the best range of songs we've had for this whole thing.
You reckon?
Oh, yeah.
Amazing.
It's amazing.
So that's in there.
Or is it Earth, Wind and Fire?
Do you remember?
I know that just really gets you.
Oh, yeah.
Gets you going.
Or is it a bit of Billy Ray Cyrus for our old school banger?
This was my favourite song when I was four.
Someone's just texted and said,
play the body rockers, I Like The Way You Move.
That's not old school.
No, but I told you there's a person that texts every day
that just requests that song no matter the theme.
Oh, right, okay.
So that finally broke you.
Okay, well, congratulations.
Is it the Body Rockers?
No. No, it's not. No. Is it Tina Turner Rockers? No.
No, it's not.
No.
Is it Tina Turner and Jimmy Barnes?
Oh, my God.
This is it.
You want to go over your mum's head?
Absolutely.
And you know what?
Knowing my mum, she would pick this song over that song as well.
Okay, I've got a really good list.
Or do you not care?
No, I do want to hear it.
But if we've decided, we've decided.
You know?
That's pretty high for me.
I'll give you a couple more.
Is it Ebba, Gimme, Gimme, Gimme?
Gimme, gimme, gimme.
I do like this song.
That's good.
Is it Neil Diamond?
Neil Diamond?
Ba, ba, ba.
So good, so good, so good.
You know?
It is a good song.
Is it The Proclaimers?
I feel drunk already. This is literally a drinking song, I think drunk already.
This is literally a drinking song, I think.
Yeah.
You ready?
Everybody, you ready?
Oh, we didn't sync up.
Oh, come on, guys.
We do the ba-da, and then you guys do the other one.
Okay, last one. One more time.
No, no, no.
Last one's Hall of Notes.
Matt, simply the best.
Tina Turner all day, all night, all year round.
I think you're right.
Oh.
This does things to me.
This is your morale-boosting request, New Zealand.
Turn it up.
I call you, I need you, my heart's on fire.
Well, you come to me, come to me wild and wild.
Oh, and you come to me wild and wild Oh, and you come to me
and give me
everything I need
Give me a lifetime
of promises and a world
of dreams
Speak the language of love The Love
Like
You
Know
What
It
Means
Take
My
Heart
And
Make
It
Strong
Baby
Simply
The
Best
Better Than All The Oh, baby. Ooh, I'm stuck on your heart, babe I hang on every word you say
Tears of love
Oh, baby, I would rather be dead
In your heart I see the stars
Every night and every day.
In your eyes I get lost, I get washed away.
Just as long as I'm here in your arms I could be in no better place You're simply the best
Better than all the rest
Better than anyone
Yeah, anyone I've ever met
Ooh, I'm stuck on your heart, baby
Well, I hang on every word you say
Oh, tear us apart
No, no, no
Cause baby, I would rather be dead
Each time you leave me I start losing control
You're walking away with my heart and my soul
I can feel you even when I'm alone
Oh baby, don't let go Let's go!
You're the best!
There you go.
That is your morale boosting request, New Zealand.
And I think it's fair to say the morale has been boosted.
Tina Hotlegs Turner, I tell you what.
What does that remind you of, that song?
I'm always interested to know.
The NRL.
Yeah, because it was the main song to promo the NRL for years. Yeah.
Where was Jimmy Barnes in that song?
It's Tina Turner and Jimmy Barnes
and I didn't hear Jimmy Barnes in there at all.
Neither. I just heard Tina.
Was he playing saxophone?
I don't think he plays the saxophone.
I don't think he does either. Where else was
he, right?
Guys, this is exciting
but I've found an article
that pretty much tells you what your favourite position is for indoor gardening based on your star sign.
That's right, everyone.
I just want to come down to this area, this aura.
I'm going to let you know, Clint, what your favourite position is.
I don't do star signs, but I'll bear with it for the sake of this.
You're kind of interested, though, aren't you?
Oh, yeah, I'm interested now, yeah.
Okay, cool.
Who should we do first out of the team?
Because I've looked up everyone's star sign, which were all a different star sign.
Yeah.
So I've looked up everyone.
Do Ellie first.
Okay, Ellie first.
Let's see.
She's a Leo.
I am.
Born in August. Like my mum. She's a Leo. I am.
Born in August.
Like my mum.
So this will be the... Oh, this is mumma dies?
Oh, God.
No, I'm keen.
Oh!
That's weird.
Leo, in terms of indoor gardening, their favourite position,
which is quite fitting, is the wheelbarrow.
Now, you don't have to confirm or deny.
No, you don't have to say anything. I'm just giving the information.
Let people create their own image.
Apparently,
theatrical and passionate
Leos love to put on a show.
Do they what?
Get that gardening done.
Well done.
Okay, cool.
That's very interesting.
Let's go Producer Ben.
Yep.
Producer Ben, I believe he's an Aries.
Yeah, found out today.
That's how much I love star science.
I love that.
So this goes for all Aries, not just Producer Ben?
Not just for Producer Ben.
And if you're an Aries, in terms of indoor gardening, you love to stand.
Oh, yep.
A fire sign, your typical Aries is bold and ambitious.
So when it comes to indoor gardening, they like things,
I'm not going to say that word, fast and passionate.
Standing up.
Nice.
There we go. It doesn't sound convenient at all, but good for you, Producer Ben. Fast and passionate. Standing up. Nice. There we go.
It doesn't sound convenient at all, but good for you, Elizabeth.
Sounds like extra work to me.
Okay, do me, do me.
I'm an Aquarius.
All right.
I wouldn't have said that during this break.
All right, Clint, you're an Aquarius.
Let's save Clint till last.
I'll do mine first, but we'll save yours till last.
Fine, okay.
I'm a Capricorn, and so for all the Capricorns listening,
your favourite position for indoor gardening is called the lotus.
Okay.
Like the flower?
Yes.
You've got a lotus flower tattoo on your ankle.
Oh, my God, I do.
So essentially, picture it.
It's where someone's kind of sitting with their legs up like that
and then the other person's kind of sitting.
Okay, you can look it up.
There you go.
Look at that.
You better run through.
We're running out of time.
It's ambitious, persistent, and driven.
Yeah.
Oh, gosh.
Driven into the ground.
And for Clint, we'll finish.
There's more star signs than just us.
Are you just doing?
No, I'm just running through ours.
If you want to know yours, you can text the text machine 9696.
Clint and an Aquarius.
How am I going to get around this?
You love.
Is it a dumb one?
Indoor gardening.
No, I find this one quite good.
You love to sit. And that's all I'm going to say.
No, I don't get it.
Oh!
Oh!
I'm not doing the sitting.
Someone else is sitting.
All right.
Yep, yep, yep.
Oh!
Yep, yep.
Damn, that's a great list.
It says here, you're an air sign.
Bree and Clint from iHeartRadio.
This is the latest live from LA with Dean McCarthy.
I think I'm going to get a little bit emotional here
because we haven't talked to him in what feels like forever.
But on the day that New Zealand emerges from level four down to level three,
we welcome back KFC and Dean McCarthy.
Good afternoon.
Hello, Dean.
Hi, guys.
What a day to be back.
Hello, KFC.
I love me some KFC, can I just say.
What an exciting night to be on the show.
I've missed you guys so much.
I don't know what I'm more excited about and what's a more tastier snack,
you or fast food, but I'm thinking it might be you.
Today we get both.
Yeah.
You know who, why choose?
Why bother choosing?
Look, the latest has been on hold for a bit,
but I think it's about time we start getting back to normal.
So please, Dean McCarthy, our Hollywood correspondent
in Los Angeles, what's going on?
What have we missed?
What's hot goss today in the world of celebrity news?
Literally, this has blown my mind.
Today, America making the most unusual headlines.
Today, the Pentagon, okay, released footage of three UFOs.
UFOs, the Pentagon.
What?
What do you mean they released it, Dean?
Here's the deal, right?
So in 2017, I love that music.
In 2017, footage of these three literally bizarre aircraft
that were moving like a ping pong ball through the sky was released.
It was filmed by a Navy officer.
Well, today, the Pentagon released it to literally say,
we want the public to know that this is real footage.
There's no more footage.
And this is what they said.
They said, these aircraft, this is from the Pentagon,
these aircraft are displaying characteristics
that are not currently within the US inventory
nor any other foreign inventory that we are aware of.
So they have no explanation.
They just want us to know that this is genuine footage
and it's out there.
I don't know what I'm more shocked at, Dean.
I don't know what shocks me more, that there's footage of UFOs
or that the US government is being upfront and honest about something.
You know what this is?
It's to take the attention away from Trump and the disinfectant comments.
The amazing thing about this is that the footage was originally leaked
by a man called Tom DeLonge, who anyone who knows Blink-182
will know he's the one who kind of broke up the band. He's the anyone who knows Blink-182 will know he's the one who kind of broke up the band.
He's the one who left Blink-182.
They've carried on without him, but he went full alien,
created Angels and Airwaves, that band.
He's full into aliens.
He leaked the footage, and the Pentagon have had to come out
and confirm it and go, yeah, Tom DeLonge from Blink-182 was right.
This is real UFO footage.
Crazy.
So all those people that started that facebook group
that was going to storm area 51 51 don't look so stupid 51 yeah it is weird nah let's be real they
still look stupid yeah weird times that we live in um there's one thing you can be certain he's back

A 24-pack.
