Someone was like, I want the intros to be looser and longer. Oh yeah, after the Ben rap one that we did the other day. I don't think they could get much looser.

We finish the show, pressure's off, relax, I'm ready to go home, watch some Married at First Sight, you're ready to go home Watch some Married at First Sight You're ready to go home Do some more Fitzbo meal prep Or whatever the hell you do With your life now

Starting point is 00:00:43 I'm flexing my triceps at the start of the video. Yeah, that got pulled up by a couple of people. Oh, I know. How embarrassing. Oh, look, but also,
Starting point is 00:00:51 did you see them? Yeah, but definition going on there. Yeah, mate. Yeah. I'm getting there. And the man we were rapping about,
Starting point is 00:00:55 Ben, are you ready? He's here at the moment. Hi, mate. Hey, guys. Oh, it's Ben from Christchurch. You've brought us in gifts. There's a guy from Australia who commented on one of our photos with the Venute a while ago.
Starting point is 00:01:07 Yeah. He said, you guys should see these new Hot Wheels that have come out. They look like the Venute. I said, oh, we can't get them in New Zealand. He said, don't worry. I'll ship them over. What an absolute legend. So he has shipped over these as you've got them in your hands.
Starting point is 00:01:18 A little Hot Wheels car that looks what I think is pretty close to the Venute. Very close to the Venute. Very close to the Venute. It's more ute than van where the Venute is more van than ute. But I mean it's red. It's got a tray. It's got a cab. It's got a skateboard in the back. Oh yeah. We're trying to get a surfboard
Starting point is 00:01:36 on ours and we're not having a good time. No. We might be able to get one. Is this your girlfriend's one? No. No, a guy at work's a big surfer. Who's this surfy guy that we don't know about? Yeah. Who? No, wait.
Starting point is 00:01:48 Before you say anything. What a guess. Guess. Do you know anyone at work that you reckon would be a surfer? That big. Is it Soundkeeper Gary? No, it's actually someone you wouldn't know them. But yeah.
Starting point is 00:01:59 Do they work at ZM? It's a sales rep. Oh, okay. For NZME. Yeah. Right. And what? He got in touch with you?
Starting point is 00:02:04 No, I knew he was a surfer dude. So they just hit him up. So what's this guy's name that sent us these cute little... Ed Brandy. Ed Brandy.
Starting point is 00:02:13 Whereabouts is Ed from? I'm not actually sure. Yeah, I know. Sorry. Wherever you are in the galaxy, Ed Brandy, we are thinking of you.
Starting point is 00:02:22 You're like Tony Stark and we are the other Avengers here on Earth, wondering what you're doing, and will you make it back in time to help us battle Thanos? And does your suit still work? And can anything really defeat Thanos, or are we all doomed? And, like, really, what's going to happen?
Starting point is 00:02:37 Because if he's got all the Infinity Stones, can he not just click his fingers and wipe everybody out? Is there any point in even fighting Thanos? Mate, the podcast intro is meant to entice people to listen. Oh, well. This is doing the opposite. It's like contraception. Say something loose.
Starting point is 00:02:51 That's what they wanted. I don't have anything. Our friend had her vibrator found by the movers, and you can hear about it in the podcast. Enjoy. Get it. ZM. Let's go.
Starting point is 00:03:02 Now let me see you dance. ZM's Brie and Clint. Kiona, everybody. Happy Monday afternoon. Welcome to the show. Happy day after the weekend, guys. Stop trying to jazz up Monday. Stop trying to put a...
Starting point is 00:03:20 Oh, come on. Put a shine on this. I mean, Wednesday gets a name. Friday gets a name. What about poor little old Monday? Day after the weekend day. Okay, we can do that. Hey, this afternoon's exciting for us and you by association, I guess,
Starting point is 00:03:35 because before four o'clock, another patented, can't say that word, patented, patented. Patented? Patented. Another signature Brie and Clint taste test. Today, we're going to be tasting the donut burger. That's right. You heard correct.
Starting point is 00:03:50 But no, it's not a sweet burger. It's savory and sweet. It's a cheese, like it's a beef cheeseburger. It's just a cheeseburger, but instead of a bun, it's a donut. It's a donut bun. Yeah. Delicious. Delicious and dangerous.
Starting point is 00:04:04 But next, I need some help from dog people. I know you're a dog donut. It's a donut bun. Yeah. Delicious. Delicious and dangerous. But next, I need some help from dog people. I know you're a dog person. Oh, I love dogs. I'm a dog person now. All of a sudden, I'm a dog person. I think you were always a dog person. Well, we're house-sitting two dogs. We're dog-sitting two dogs at the moment, and it is great. I'm definitely ready for
Starting point is 00:04:19 a dog in my life. Yeah, can you bring them into work? I'd love to, but I've been given quite a massive warning regarding the dogs from the dog's owner. They're aggressive, are they? No, they're not aggressive. They're lovely. No, I've seen the Instagram. They look so cute. Yeah, they
Starting point is 00:04:35 only come up to about mid-shin height, but there's one warning in particular that I need help with. So dog people, if you could stick around and help us out with that next, that'd be really appreciated, you know? Thanks. We should get dogs on again.
Starting point is 00:04:47 Remember that time we got the dogs on to have a chat? We should get a show dog. I would love to do that. A ZM dog. My tongue is still within my... Bree and Clint, the podcast.
Starting point is 00:04:59 ZM. Dog people, I need your help. I know dog people love sharing their help. Dog people are great people. I am all of a sudden a dog person. Welcome. Good to have you.
Starting point is 00:05:11 I've been a cat person for a number of years. This is like an AA meeting, eh? Hi, I'm Clint, and I think I might be a dog person. Wait, do you still own cats? I still got the cats. I still got Ziggy and Bowie, but they're being looked after by other people at the moment because we're still house-sitting while we renovate.
Starting point is 00:05:26 So you disowned the cats? No, excuse me. We put them into fantastic accommodation with a great host, okay? We farmed them out to somebody else. Do you know how expensive it is for a cattery for two cats? I can't believe it's called a cattery. Yeah, it's where you keep them, a cat kennel. And what the dogs is called a kennel.
Starting point is 00:05:44 Yeah. See, dogs are just better keep them, a cat kennel. And what the dogs is called a kennel. Yeah. Oh, see, dogs are just better. Well, dogs are simpler. It was going to cost us to put the cats into accommodation. How much? Because there's two of them, $400 a week. That's as much as what some of us pay in rent. I could have rented their own.
Starting point is 00:05:59 For a whole house. Yeah, I could have rented their own downtown viaduct apartment for that amount of money. Literally, one bedroom. Anyway, so they're fine, okay? They're happy. They're going to rent it in their own downtown viaduct apartment for that amount of money. Literally, one bedroom. Anyway, so they're fine, okay? They're happy. They're happy. They'll be home soon.
Starting point is 00:06:10 And then we've been house-sitting heaps of places. I think we've house-sit seven cats so far. Cat-sat. And this week we are dog-sitting for the very first time. About time. We've got two dogs that we're looking after. Isn't that weird? And I just have the urge to visit you now. Yeah, you haven't wanted to
Starting point is 00:06:26 visit at all in the last three months. And then all of a sudden I'm getting these messages like, what are you guys doing tonight? Should I come round? I'll bring magnums. So we've got one half King Charles Cavalier, half Tibetan Spaniel, and one half pug, half shih tzu.
Starting point is 00:06:46 So they're both what producer Ben would refer to as, it's not a dog, it's a cat. But they are dogs and we walk in them and we live in the dog lifestyle, but we have been issued with quite a serious warning. The owner, who has gone away on holiday, has said they're great, they're well behaved, they won't cause you any trouble
Starting point is 00:07:05 unless they get a case of stink butt. Yeah. She said that there is something that can happen to the dogs, and I don't know anything about it because I've never looked after dogs before, but they can have the most pungent and disgusting smell come from their butts and it just comes on all of a sudden. And this is, I said to you, because you were talking about this earlier, and I said, oh, is it the anal gland?
Starting point is 00:07:30 And I don't know. Is that what stink butt is? Is it to do with the anal gland? I'm pretty sure it is. And sometimes the anal gland can explode. It can explode? So it kind of fills up. No. Yes. No. Yes.
Starting point is 00:07:46 No. Apparently. Only if you're neglecting the dog, right? Only if you're not taking it out to do its business or something. Like, how does it even happen? No, yeah, I'm not sure, but I've been told by a vet before that they've had to, um, milk.
Starting point is 00:08:01 They ain't alone. Well, I'm not keen for that. That's a thing. I mean, if we have to do it, as responsible dogs it is, we will do it. But I'm not keen to do that. You know where I think they do it? Where? So, you know if you take a dog to get like washed and groomed and stuff.
Starting point is 00:08:17 Oh, animates. It's like, you know, an extra. You pay a bit extra and get it milked. Yes. It's kind of like if you want the, you know, the special haircut and then it's also do you want the milking. This is my question this afternoon and I'd like dog people's help on 0800DIALZM.
Starting point is 00:08:31 Stink butt, renal gland issues. How bad is it really? Like, no, but really. It's been a while since you've had a dog. Like, dog people, 0800DIALZM, just set our expectations because apparently between the two dogs, it's more than a 50% chance that it's going to happen while we're looking after them.
Starting point is 00:08:49 But how bad is it really? 0800 dial ZM or you can text to 9696. You know when you pass an apartment building, you're like, what are they cooking? That plus crap. ZM Spree and Clint, the podcast. Looking for dog advice this afternoon. God, we cover a wide range of topics on this show, don't we?
Starting point is 00:09:11 This is my favourite. Namely, how bad is Stinkbutt? And is that the real name for it? I'm dog sitting at the moment. Two dogs, a half King Charles Cavalier crossed with a Tibetan Spaniel and a half pug crossed with a Shih Tzu. What would you call a half pug, half Shih Tzu, by the way? I don't know. No, okay.
Starting point is 00:09:34 Sorry, I thought it might come to you a bit quicker than that. But we've been warned that we could encounter something called stink butt. And I said to you, I've heard about this a few times, and dogs have an animal that can get blocked, and then sometimes you need to take it to the vet,
Starting point is 00:09:54 and they unblock it. Yeah, but how bad can it be? That's what I'm wondering. On 0800-DALZ-ZM, some dog people. Hi, Alicia. Hi, Alicia. Hi, guys. I love the name stink butt.
Starting point is 00:10:05 I'm totally renaming it stink butt. It is a real issue. Do you have dogs? I've got a pug. He's a 12-year-old purebred pug who has anal gland leaking issues as well. But, Clint, I'm self-taught. You need to go onto YouTube, watch a video of someone who will show you how to do it. It's a really simple procedure. Get some paper towels, squeeze in.
Starting point is 00:10:27 No, all right. Squeeze together. Yeah, yeah, all right. You're going to have to do it, Clint, because otherwise your clothes and the couch are going to end up coughing it. Just one to ten on how bad, and I'm only talking about smell here. How bad are we talking on a scale of one to ten? Ten, the worst smell I've ever smelled in my life.
Starting point is 00:10:44 100% the worst. Listen to how happy she is about it too. She's like, I can't believe I taught myself off YouTube. I do it to everyone's dog now. I just, I charge. I don't charge, I just do it for free. Hi, Grace. Hi, how are you?
Starting point is 00:10:57 Good. How bad is stink butt really? Really bad. What happened to you, Grace, that you've smelt it before? So we have a little dog and he's a little poodle cross and he gets it all the time. But instead of like walking around like a normal dog, he'll like scoot his butt across the ground into the carpet.
Starting point is 00:11:13 Yeah, so apparently, Grace, when they do that, when dogs drag their bums across the ground, I always thought it was that they had worms. Yeah, me too. But apparently it's because of this anal balloon. I think it's both. Right. But it's pretty disgusting when it gets stuck in the of this anal balloon. I think it's both. Right. But it's pretty disgusting when it gets stuck in the carpet.
Starting point is 00:11:27 You have to like get the shampoo out. Right. Okay. Good. Have you ever had a dog, our dog growing up, God bless her soul, Bella, she was a bullmastiff cross wolfhound. Yeah. She was about a 60 kilo dog.
Starting point is 00:11:41 Yeah. She had the rankest farts I've ever smelt. Have you ever smelt a dog that has really bad farts? Nah, but the pug sleeps on the bed with us at the moment with its butt facing our heads. Look out. So that could be something to report on. Just quickly, Donna, we're calling it Stinkbutt.
Starting point is 00:11:59 It has another more graphic name than that, but what's your experience with it? How bad? It's pretty bad, but I've got a 50-kilo dog. He's a big boy, and I'm an enabler, and I was just told by the vet to give him a high-fibre diet. Oh, okay. What?
Starting point is 00:12:18 Yeah. And what? And that will take care of the urinal gland? Yeah, the urinal gland will basically be it will be compressed by a more solid stool on the way out. Right, right. And has it worked?
Starting point is 00:12:34 Yeah, he doesn't have a, yep, he's much more pleasant to be around. Okay, thanks Donna. Are we enjoying this by the way? Is this disgusting? Do we need to move on? Or I think we've gone way too far now. Just quickly, we'll just go to Justine. Justine, you used to work in a
Starting point is 00:12:49 vet clinic. Just, in your opinion, is this a home job? If I do have to deal with this while we are dog-sitting these dogs, is it a DIY number? You can learn to do it yourself. Personally, if you're going to do that, you need to learn how to do it properly, otherwise you can hurt the dog.
Starting point is 00:13:07 It's well worth your money, though. Just go into your vet nurse or somewhere like your animates and getting them to do it because it stinks. Solid 10 out of 10. But Donna's right on the money there with the fibre. Yeah, OK.
Starting point is 00:13:18 Fibre? It does. It's a bit of a false thought. It helps milk the glands. OK, all right. I wonder if the high fibre diet would work for me. Brie and Clint, the podcast. Zed-in.
Starting point is 00:13:31 Live from Hollywood. With our men on the ground. Dean McCarthy. Spy.co.nz. Dean, hope you had a good weekend. What's happening in Hollywood? Oh, my goodness. Let's talk about it.
Starting point is 00:13:43 Let's call it Holly Weird. You may have heard the Mel B drama saga, which I'm living for. She said that she and Jerry Halliwell hooked up, slept together.
Starting point is 00:13:55 Okay. Back in the day, Jerry Halliwell came out and denied the entire thing. And now Emma Bunton, remember Baby Spice? She came out over the weekend saying,
Starting point is 00:14:02 this is the first time I've ever heard of this ridiculous story, and she's rolling her eyes. We've now decided that we think Mel B may have made it up just to get some press for her new book. That might be the actual underlying thing and reason. Really?
Starting point is 00:14:17 Isn't that weird? Like, if that is the case, like, it's going to come out. It worked. Yeah, it definitely worked. But they've got a tour to do together. Everything I'm seeing about this Spice Girls tour looks like an absolute disaster. Victoria Beckham doesn't want to be a part of it.
Starting point is 00:14:31 One of them's making up rumours that she slept with another one. The other one's saying that never happened. Are they even going to make it to the stage? I don't know. I just feel like, you know, not to be too shady, but I feel like Mel B just gets a bit desperate these days, doesn't she? You know what I mean? Like, I don't know. Victoria Beckham doesn't want to be there., but I feel like Mel B just gets a bit desperate these days, doesn't she? You know what I mean? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:14:47 Victoria Beckham doesn't want to be there. I think it's awkward. And look, I love the Spice Girls. I would go and see them even if they weren't performing. I would go to an empty stage. I love a Spice Girl. You'd still go to the tour because what if they have a bus up on stage? Exactly.
Starting point is 00:15:00 That's going to be even better. You know, I was thinking, do yourself a favor, Dean, and go YouTube Spice Girls at the London Olympics. That's the last time that all of them reunited. All five of them? All five of them. Yeah, okay. And it was awesome. In other news, somehow, some way, people are still paying to book R. Kelly.
Starting point is 00:15:20 Oh, my goodness. I know this sounds completely ridiculous. In Illinois, which is where Chicago is, R. Kelly did a, well, he was supposed to do like a, what do you call it, not a meet and greet, but just like an appearance. He performed, okay, how awkward is this? He performed bump and grind. Yeah. That's off.
Starting point is 00:15:39 Something about that makes me just cringe to my core. He then was hung around and people were getting selfies and photographs with him. Who's getting a selfie with R. Kelly at the moment? People who haven't seen the documentary, that'd be who. Yeah, right. Okay. Yeah, it's another one of those cases, much like the Michael Jackson one. You actually can't really have a truly informed opinion unless you've seen the documentary.
Starting point is 00:15:59 But that R. Kelly one is a really hard watch. There's so many women on that documentary and it's very hard to look away and not think, hmm, this is true. Okay, that's Dee McCarthy, our Hollywood correspondent live from Hollywood.
Starting point is 00:16:12 Spies brought to you by Bonds. Intimately, you can text Bonds to 9696 to win a Bonds $250 prize pack. ZM's Bree and Clint,
Starting point is 00:16:22 the podcast. Okay, who's hungry? It's time for another Bree and Clint taste test. We taste it so you don't have to. We're willing to do this as part of our job for you, New Zealand. I'm on a diet. Yeah, but like, yeah, but. But it's a part of my job.
Starting point is 00:16:39 Yeah, there you go. It's a contractual obligation. It is. Last thing we taste tested was spag bol chips. Which we thought they did taste like Spag Bowl. Yeah. But... Do you want chips that taste like Spag Bowl?
Starting point is 00:16:51 This week, the Donut Burger. Yeah, that's right. The Donut Burger. There's a burger place in Auckland called Better Burger, which is doing... It's like a regular cheeseburger with two patties and melted cheese, but the bun is like a glazed donut. As if you wouldn't want that.
Starting point is 00:17:08 Bit of sweet, bit of savoury. This is super American, can I say? I've just limed down before the show and scored us one of these to share and we've cut it in half. She's juicy. So it's going for that salty sweet vibe. Yeah, which I'm about that like. Kind of like chicken and waffles.
Starting point is 00:17:23 And again, we will taste this so you don't have to. It smells good. Bon appetit. Bon appetit. Bon appetit. Oh my God. Oh my God. I understand it's really gross listening to other people chew.
Starting point is 00:17:45 Oh. But can you hear the pleasure coming through the microphone at the moment? There is a God. Oh. That's so good. So $11 a burger. They're not cheap. No.
Starting point is 00:17:56 But there's two patties in there. Oh, yeah. She's a double. You and I are sharing one. Mm-hmm. And I've cut it in half. How many calories do you reckon are in that thing? When you're eating something called a donut burger,
Starting point is 00:18:09 you're not worried about the calories, right? I can't hear you. The New Zealand Herald gave it 9.5 out of 10. How would you rate? Oh, it's also got pickle in it. It's got like gherkin in there too. So it's got everything a regular cheeseburger has. The buns are made of donut.
Starting point is 00:18:26 So you have to do it. You have to give the donut burger a rating out of 10. This is a 10. I need a lie down after this. I wouldn't often do this as well, but it's a 10. It's a 10!
Starting point is 00:18:37 That's a 10. God, I love this segment. It's time for another Bree and Clint taste test. We taste it. So you don't have to. We'll be back in a for another Bree and Clint taste test. We taste it so you don't have to. We'll be back in a minute. Bree and Clint, the podcast. ZM. We are the leading show for
Starting point is 00:18:52 aviation and maritime news and that's why we are debunking the real hard topics this afternoon of what's the best seat? Now when you say that, I assume you mean window, middle and aisle. Of course. Correct?
Starting point is 00:19:08 It's the age-old argument of who's going to get the window, who's going to get the middle and who's going to get the aisle. Also, we found out on Friday that you're now a Kuru member. You're now a part of New Zealand's elite. You're now part of the New Zealand Illuminati. Technically not yet, so I'm still one of the people. Oh, even worse, you've paid for it, but you haven't got the membership yet. Can I just say that your world is about to change
Starting point is 00:19:30 as far as seat selection goes. Nobody gets more seat selection than an Air New Zealand Kuru member. I can't wait. There has been an article done about, I mean, and they only cover off the window seat and the aisle seat, saying the pros for each. Because there is people out there, me personally, I'm a window seat gal. I'm a window seat guy.
Starting point is 00:19:55 Because I have a very strong bladder. Oh, what? So that doesn't worry me. No, that means you're an aisle seat gal. No, I've got a very strong. Oh, strong bladder. I thought you meant by strong bladder, like your bladder likes to force its way out.
Starting point is 00:20:10 My bladder wall, very strong. Gotcha. I like to go to sleep on the window. It's not about the view. I'm a plain sleeper. If I don't have the window to lean against, I end up with my head resting on the person beside me's shoulder and I don't always know that person.
Starting point is 00:20:21 It's creepy and you still have that AVO out. So the pros for a window seat, you get a view out the window. It's a great pro, yes. Which is a very good pro. Absolutely good. Pro for an aisle seat, no one to climb over if you need to go to the bathroom, stretch or get something from the overhead compartment. The ultimate in freedom.
Starting point is 00:20:42 It's great. Plus, if you're one of those people who stands up as soon as the plane lands, you can do that in the aisle seat. You can step straight into the aisle and awkwardly stand there. Pro for a window seat, being able to lean against the side of the cabin. That's my big one. Yeah, it's like a little headrest. Sometimes when I'm picking my seat, if I'm going to pay for it on a long haul flight,
Starting point is 00:21:03 I actually test which way I like to lean. So then I pick which side of the plane. What, you just do a little trail run in your car or something? Yeah, so I'm like, is it more comfortable on the left? Usually the right, I think. Yeah, okay, great. Pro for having an aisle seat, you get served your meal first. Oh, like sickens first though.
Starting point is 00:21:23 Well, this is from an article. I haven't written these, but I don't know about that one. I'm a window seat girl, so I'm like, yeah, that's not true. And I don't mind waiting a few seconds more. Pro for a window seat, having a person or people only on one side of you. Yeah, you've got it. Yeah. That's great.
Starting point is 00:21:39 Which is the biggest con of the middle seat. Exactly. Is you are surrounded on both sides. You know, I've talked about this rule before, by the way, that window person gets the window, aisle person gets the aisle, middle person gets the armrests. That's meant to be the way that it works, but no one knows that rule. But if you're listening right now, that is the rule.
Starting point is 00:22:00 So stop taking the damn bloody armrests. So, and one more pro for an aisle seat, you have a bit more personal space in the aisle. Like there's no one there. Oh, except don't put your legs out there or something because the air hosties do not give a crap and they'll run you over with the trolley. Look out for your elbows.
Starting point is 00:22:19 You and I both are window people. I want to know the producers, what are their thoughts? What is your preferred seat on an aircraft? Do you get aisle, middle, or window? No one's picking middle. They might. Ben's a weird guy. Yeah, true.
Starting point is 00:22:34 Nah, window. Window? You're a window guy as well. Smart man. Producer Ellie? I do like the window a lot, but the reason I like the aisle is because I frequently need to go to the toilet. Yeah. And so I hate having to go, hey, sorry, would you mind frequently need to go to the toilet. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:45 And so I hate having to go, hey, sorry, would you mind just a minute? Bladder of a child. Yes. So I need the aisle. There you go. Bladder of a woman who's given birth multiple times. Basically, yeah. Good luck to you after you actually give birth.
Starting point is 00:22:58 Yeah, thank you for that. Maybe no flying for a bit. We want to know, and this is a curveball on 0800 dial ZM. Because we know people love the aisle seat. We know people love the window seat. It's a given. We're all the normal people. Where are the weirdos at?
Starting point is 00:23:15 Are you a middle seat person? Is that your preferred seat of choice? If you're given free selection, do you opt for the middle? And why? And I'd love to know why. Yeah. Do you love the feeling of other people sandwiching you in for multiple hours on end and the inability to do anything without
Starting point is 00:23:33 asking somebody else if you can get past them or something like that? I believe we won't get anyone, but we're going to try. Yeah. And we're going to hopefully get into their psyche as to why the hell they like the middle seat. 0800 dial ZM. You can text us on 9696.
Starting point is 00:23:51 ZM Spree in Clint. The podcast. We are the leading show for maritime and aviation-based news. So when a topic comes up that concerns either the maritime industry or the aviation industry, you know we're going to cover it. And today, it's aeroplanes. Namely the seats.
Starting point is 00:24:07 Where's your butt want to go? Yeah. Which one do you want to park yourself in? I mean, it's the age old question, which seat is best? And normally we would just be talking about the aisle and the window seat, you would think. But no, we're on the hunt for someone who actually prefers a middle seat on an aircraft. Do you know that we didn't think we'd get anyone and we've actually got two? I mean, only two.
Starting point is 00:24:30 We've only managed to get two people on. In all of New Zealand. But let's tap into their brains. Let's do an analysis of what makes these people tick. Hi, Eden. Hi, Eden. Hi, how are you? First of all, you all right?
Starting point is 00:24:41 Are you all right? Yeah, good. You prefer the middle seat out of the aisle in the window? Yeah, I don't really like flying at all, but if I am and if I have to be on a plane, I definitely prefer the middle seat. Wait, so let me get my head around this, Aidan. If you go to the desk and you're checking in and they say,
Starting point is 00:25:00 do you have a preferred seat you would like to... The middle seat, definitely. Aidan, seriously though, you all right? Oh, no, seriously. It's just so much cushioning. You feel safe. You've got two people on either side of you. Yeah, but they're normally strangers.
Starting point is 00:25:15 Like the cushioning bit, you're like pushing. Because what if you get like two big burly dudes either side of you as well? Then you feel safe. Nothing can happen to you. Aiden loves it. Even more protection. Right. Well, I can guarantee you will get any
Starting point is 00:25:30 seat you want as long as it's the middle seat. No one is getting ahead of you and requesting that seat. It's kind of a life hack. Actually, how good is it for you, Eden? You never have to worry about getting your preferred seat because they're giving those away. Eden's not alone. Sarah is on the phone too.
Starting point is 00:25:46 Now, Sarah, we'll put the same question to you. You're right. I'm good. I just, I'm the same as Eden. I'm not a fan of flying. And so I would prefer the middle seat. So I'm like, sink to the back, sink to the front, TV in front of me, people around the side.
Starting point is 00:26:04 I want to pretend I'm not on a plane. Like, don't give me the window seat. I don't want to see no, like, seats at the back, seats at the front, TV in front of me, people around the side. I want to pretend I'm not on a plane. Like, don't give me the window seat. I don't want to see no, like, airplane wings or nothing. Like, that's going to freak me out.
Starting point is 00:26:10 Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. If you're scared of heights, don't give the woman the window seat, right? Because it's terrifying. And Sarah,
Starting point is 00:26:17 I need to ask you, do you know the rule being a middle seat person? Do you know the rule that you get both armrests? Oh, I did not. I did not know that. Well, it's about to change your life.
Starting point is 00:26:30 Yeah, we'll repeat it for you and anyone listening because we are trying to get this out there too. These are the rules. The window person gets the window, the aisle person gets the aisle and the middle person gets the armrests.
Starting point is 00:26:39 You get both of those. I'm for that. I'm okay. It doesn't change the experience. The middle seat is still crap. Well, they one time gave me the what's that part in the middle where you're like safe people and like emergency doors.
Starting point is 00:26:52 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Freaked out. I had to swap. I literally couldn't do it. I had to swap with this basketball player. Oh, he'd be happy with that. But you gave up all the leg room as well. I can imagine you though. Seriously, are you right? No, I was imagine you though. Yeah. Seriously, are you alright? Not with flying, no.
Starting point is 00:27:07 No, I reckon you should drive. I reckon you're better off driving if anything, Sarah. God, I want to fly with Sarah and Eden.
Starting point is 00:27:14 Why? Because I'll always get the window or the ice. No, you don't want to fly with both of them because one of them will be terrified.
Starting point is 00:27:19 One of them always has to have the middle seat. True. That'd actually be the worst couple to fly with. Bree and Clint, the podcast. ZM. That'd actually be the worst couple to fly with. There's been data released about what the most damaging show is for your computer to illegally download or stream or torrent.
Starting point is 00:27:34 People don't do that anymore though. No, people don't do that. And after hearing this, people probably won't do that. You don't do that. Well, I don't do it. One, because I don't know how to. And two, because I don't need to because I've got Sky. So, like, I don't do it, one, because I don't know how to, and two, because I don't need to because I've got Sky. So, like, I don't need to.
Starting point is 00:27:49 You're fancy. Well, you get it. It's in good quality. There's no risk that it's been dubbed over with, like, Korean or something like that. Is Kardashians on Sky? Yeah, express from the US, baby, as soon as it comes out. Yeah. Anyway, this is interesting because I know a lot of people do do it.
Starting point is 00:28:06 You're on my flight, mate. Producer Ben. The most damaging show for your computer to download or torrent or illegally stream is... Please be Big Bang Theory. It's not Big Bang Theory. It's Game of Thrones. Yeah. Not only is it the most illegally downloaded show of all time,
Starting point is 00:28:32 it's also the most dangerous. It comes loaded with a lot of the time, like you'll think you're downloading an episode and then you'll go to open it and it installs something called malware on your computer. Yep. Or spyware. I mean, I've heard about it.
Starting point is 00:28:45 Or Trojan horses. I don't know what a Trojan horse is, but it doesn't sound good. I don't think you want one of those on your computer if you didn't ask for it, right? Put that in your undercarriage. You think you're getting the episode, and then all of a sudden you get that. Now, Producer Ben,
Starting point is 00:28:57 have you ever encountered this on any of your devices before? No, I haven't. I do a lot of illegal downloading and that. I haven't, no. How do you get around it? No, we're not telling people how to, of illegal downloading and that. I haven't, no. How do you get around? No, we're not telling people how to, but how do you get around it? Like, how do you know you're not?
Starting point is 00:29:09 Because spyware, do you know what spyware is? It's like the virus protection thing. No, spyware is where people can see what you're doing on your computer. Like, they can get access to things like your keystrokes and they can get access to your camera and stuff like that. Like, how do you know that someone's not watching you
Starting point is 00:29:24 at home through your laptop webcam? I don't. I don't know. When did you get that new bed cover, actually? Also, how did you get so flexible? The second most damaging show for your computer to download or illegally stream is The Walking Dead. Oh, no.
Starting point is 00:29:43 Really? Really? Really? You know when you think, who's still watching that Walking Dead show? Who's still on that? It's the same old crap. I've never seen it, but I imagine it's the same thing every episode, right?
Starting point is 00:29:59 I'm one of those people. Right. Well, that's okay. So long as you're watching it by official channels. I am. Then you that's okay. So long as you're watching it by official channels, then you are absolutely fine. 100%. The new Game of Thrones, I'll tell you this if you're a Game of Thrones
Starting point is 00:30:12 fan, it comes out on Monday. The 14th in America, the 15th here in New Zealand. And if you don't want to get someone peeking at you through your webcam, get yourself a Neon subscription. Stream it that way. Go and get Sky. Go to someone's house who's got Sky. Watch it on there. I just had a stitch-up idea.
Starting point is 00:30:28 What's that? You know who is a big fan of Game of Thrones? Loves to watch it early. Who? My mum. Yeah? We should call her. Does your mum know how to illegally download stuff? No,
Starting point is 00:30:43 but it's done on the home computer by other people. Oh, someone does it for her. Yeah. Call her and tell her she's got a Trojan horse in the backyard. Yeah. Okay, there you go. There's your warning. You've been well warned.
Starting point is 00:30:59 ZM Spree and Clint, the podcast. We did say there's an artist that is releasing music beyond the grave and that artist is Avicii. I saw this today. It came out of nowhere. Well, I haven't seen anything until today. But I've just read in this article that apparently the first single off the album will be released in two days.
Starting point is 00:31:27 Right. It's called S.O.S. And it'll have Aloe Blacc on that single. Oh, there was Aloe Blacc on that one, on Wake Me Up. Yeah, he sung on Wake Me Up. So essentially they're saying that producers, there's a bunch of producers that worked with Avicii and they're pretty much essentially putting together all these songs
Starting point is 00:31:47 that he was working on just before he passed away in April last year. And they're saying most of the songs are 75% to 80% done. They were done and they've just put the extra... When Avicii died? Yes. Right. See, this is weird to me to go into, because it happens all the time.
Starting point is 00:32:06 It does. I think Michael Jackson's released three albums since he passed away. Of all this stuff that he hadn't released yet. I think half of Tupac's collection came out after he died. But I mean, it's never their best stuff. Like, their best stuff comes out when they're alive. But also, who benefits?
Starting point is 00:32:23 Like, if we get a great Avicii song out of it, then great. I guess you can celebrate his memory and stuff like that. But someone's got to make the money. And does it go to the record label? Does it go to the family? Does it go to a charity? Does it go to... I don't think it goes to a charity.
Starting point is 00:32:37 It'd be nice if it did. Also, artists are perfectionists. And you really hope that it's not stuff that he hated. Like just because it was 80% finished doesn't mean that Avicii wanted the world to hear it. He might absolutely hate this Aloe Blacc song that's about to come out and he may never have meant anybody to hear it. And if you've seen the documentary of Avicii's life on Instagram,
Starting point is 00:33:02 on Netflix, he was a perfectionist. Yeah, absolutely. Like he really loved making that music and making it perfect. Yeah, and he loved, from what I know about Avicii, it's the touring stuff that killed him. He liked making music, not performing music. Exactly right. It was the crippling anxiety of performing that, yeah, that he hated.
Starting point is 00:33:25 Right. Right. It's crazy that, yeah, it comes out in two days. It's called SOS, and that will be the first song released off the Avicii album. All right. Well, we'll wait to make up our mind until we hear it, I guess. But just like, it's just weird to me. Like if we really wanted it, anyway, I'll reserve my judgment.
Starting point is 00:33:47 Looking forward to it of each year. Bree and Clint, the podcast. ZM. This week, our prize hero is JBL. We've got JBL's new live headphones to give away. They can get Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa, both built in. They're the first pair of headphones to be able to do this ever.
Starting point is 00:34:07 You've got them, eh? I've got them. They're brilliant on an aeroplane. Yeah. So good. We've got a brand new game today to give them away. Trash. Oh, treasure.
Starting point is 00:34:17 I mean, one of my favourite shows, Antiques Roadshow. Yeah, it's a good watch. It's a great watch. Pretty simple game. We're going to play you a piece from Antiques Roadshow where they, it's a good watch. It's a great watch. Pretty simple game. We're going to play you a piece from Antiques Roadshow where they're talking about an item and all you need to tell us
Starting point is 00:34:31 do you think it's worth under a thousand pounds, which means it's trash, or is it worth over a thousand pounds and it's treasure? Pretty simple, right? Pretty simple. You will have a limited amount of time to make your decision, but Ashley, you're the first person to get a go at this.
Starting point is 00:34:50 Hi, thank you. Do you think you understand the rules? Yes, I do. Okay, perfect. We're going to play you the first part of the clip from Antiques Roadshow where you'll hear what the item is and then you have to decide if it's trash or treasure. Just so you know, Ash, just as an added bit of pressure,
Starting point is 00:35:05 there are three items. You need to get two out of three correct to take the headphones, and if you don't, Robbie is standing by to take them for doing absolutely nothing. Oh, my God. All right, so good luck, Ash. Here we go. Good luck. You brought me the most delightful little bar brooch
Starting point is 00:35:20 in the form of four-leaf clover. What do you know about it? It was a birthday present for my husband, daughter and son-in-law three years ago. And they just thought I'd appreciate it, which I do. Oh, how marvellous. All right, Ashley. Oh, how marvellous.
Starting point is 00:35:34 A little four-leaf clover brooch, is it trash and worth under £1,000 or is it treasure and worth over £1,000? Trash. Right, you're looking in trash? Yeah. Right, let's go to the clip. I'm thinking somewhere in the region of £4,000 to £5,000. Oh, my God, that's incredible.
Starting point is 00:36:01 No. It's okay. That's all right, Ash. It's just the first one. You just have to get these next two right to take the headphones home, okay? Okay. Here we go. Here's your second item for trash or treasure.
Starting point is 00:36:13 Is this worth under or over £1,000? Is it trash or treasure? I would say it's about the most impractical spoon that's ever been. Exactly. It was given to my father in 1930 as a christening present. A 1930s spoon. Just one spoon, just a simple spoon. Oh my god. Uh, okay, um, trash? Trash? Yes. Right, lock in trash, let's go to the clip. There's a huge collector's market out there for it. If you wanted to buy that, it would cost you a minimum of about £600.
Starting point is 00:36:50 Oh! Yes! You've got it! All right. Yay. All you need is to get this last one right. Are you ready, Ash? OK, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:00 Here we go. Here's your final item. Can I inquire how you actually came by this, which is a very French clock? It was a gift to my father from his employer, I would say 35 to 40 years ago. Well, it's called an annular clock or a sacre tournant. A sacre tournant or an annular clock or an old French clock. A very old clock, Ash.
Starting point is 00:37:21 What do you think? Trash worth under £1,000 or treasure worth over £1,000? I'm going to say treasure. Right, lock in treasure. You need this, Ash, to pick up the JBL live headphones. Let's go to the clip. I reckon we're probably looking at about 12 and a half thousand. Oh, she's done it!
Starting point is 00:37:41 Yes! She's done it! Oh, nice's done it! Yes! She's done it! Oh, nice work! You are like those people on Antiques Roadshow who just found out that they're sitting on an absolute treasure chest because you've won! Well done. We're going to send you out those JBL Live headphones.
Starting point is 00:37:55 Well done, Ash. Thank you so much. Thank you. God, I would have felt awful if she'd done all that work and then she walked away with nothing. You know what's awesome too? Yeah. After playing this game, studies have proven
Starting point is 00:38:06 40% more fancy. 40% more fancy. ZM Spree and Clint. The podcast. I bought a van. No, you bought a what? A van slash ute. We bought a Benute. The Benute is coming and
Starting point is 00:38:21 everybody's charming. It doesn't have a warrant and it is full of rust. Technically, that intro bit is out of date because we have a warrant. We got the warrant and we're setting off on the road trip come next week. Yes, we are. Monday, we will depart Auckland, bound for Wellington. We're going to try and travel the length of the North Island. I like how you say, we're going to try.
Starting point is 00:38:47 Well, we are going to try. I mean, there's going to be some hiccups along the way, no doubt. But I think she's got it in her. Well, the Venute came to us from Blenheim, but it didn't drive that way. It came on the back of a truck on a boat. The furthest it's gone, I think, is from where it gets dropped off, out of Monaco in South Auckland into the city. So maybe about 25 minutes.
Starting point is 00:39:07 So look, we don't know what's going to happen. No. But we're going to do our best. She's going to do her best. And we've got a number of stops on the way. Yes, we do. We're going to be broadcasting out of it. The Venute has now become a mobile broadcast unit.
Starting point is 00:39:20 And just by putting microphones inside this thing, it has tripled in value. There's a lot of cool things that we're putting on the venue. Yes, there is. But we want to let you know exactly where we're going to be. In fact, we want your help. We know the cities that we're going to be in, but we don't know specifically where is the best place
Starting point is 00:39:36 to park up a half van, half ute to do an afternoon radio show from, right? We're thinking maybe beaches or maybe in the night that we're in your city, there's maybe, you know, I don't know, like a food, like, what would you call it? Stalls? Yeah. You know where they have the food market? Like a night market.
Starting point is 00:39:53 Like a night market. Yeah. I'd love to park it up out front of one of those. Yeah, or maybe you're having a shindig at your house. Maybe mum's 40th on. That's great. And you've got a pool and you want the Venute to be the VIP guest. Pool party.
Starting point is 00:40:04 Love it. So we're going to give you the exact dates and where we Venute to be the VIP guest. Pool party, love it. So we're going to give you the exact dates and where we're going to be on those dates. Okay, here we go. Let's do this together. On Monday, that's this Monday coming, the 15th of April, the Venute will be broadcasting live from... Tauranga. Tauranga!
Starting point is 00:40:23 On Tuesday, the 16th of April, that's next Tuesday, the Venute will be broadcasting live from... Hamilton. Hamilton! Hamilton! Then we're going to make our way on Wednesday, April the 17th, to... Palmerston North. Palmy North.
Starting point is 00:40:45 I can't wait to go to Palmerston North. It'll be my first trip. You've never been to Parmy, eh? Never. Oh. But I feel like I'd be at home there. Is it a country town? Ah, kind of.
Starting point is 00:40:54 It's surrounded by... There's a lot of army people there. And lots of students as well in Parmy. Is Parmy North the one with the big cow? Ah, no. I don't think so. Oh. It could be.
Starting point is 00:41:04 It might have a bit. No, you're thinking of Morrinsville where Jacinda Ardern's from. And finally, we will end our road trip because it's a short week next week because of Easter. We'll finish up in...
Starting point is 00:41:14 Wellington. Speaking of Jacinda, we'll be in the capital. Oh, imagine if we could do the show from outside the Beehive. That'd be cool. Imagine if we got some sort of like special parliamentary privilege
Starting point is 00:41:24 to pull up on the lawn there in front of Parliament. I don't think they want the venute on the lawn. This is where we need you. 0800 dial ZM. Tauranga, Hamilton, Palmy and Wellington. Where are the best spots for us to go and do the radio show from? We're thinking scenic. We're thinking if you've got a party.
Starting point is 00:41:40 We're thinking if, you know, there's night markets. Wherever you think, we want to hear from you. 0800 dial ZM, you can text us on 9696 as well Bree and Clint, the podcast ZM, we are going on tour I can't believe we're actually doing this The Venue is roadworthy
Starting point is 00:41:57 She's ready to go, and she's ready to go and on Monday morning she will leave Auckland bound for Tauranga on a week long trip, I've said before and I'm getting a little bit roasted on the text machine for this, I said, we want to drive the length of the North Island. Someone texted and said, you really are an Aucklander. The North Island starts in Cape Reanga, not Auckland. And yes, you're absolutely right.
Starting point is 00:42:17 I've neglected one third of the country, everything above Auckland, but I don't think the van can make it that far. I was going to say, let's be real. The Venute ain't even going to make it this far, I don't think. So we're going to Tauranga, and then on Tuesday we'll be in Hamilton, we're going to Parmy on Thursday, and then we're going to finish... No, Parmy on Wednesday, and then on Thursday we'll be in Wellington. Oh, that's right, because short week.
Starting point is 00:42:35 Yeah, short week. There you go. And we want to know where we should do the show from, out of the Venute and each of those places. We want to know from the experts, the locals, what are the best places in those cities? Let's talk to a local in stop number one. AJ, g'day mate. Hello mate. Oh, g'day mate. AJ, what advice do you have for us? Is it in
Starting point is 00:42:53 Toedonga? Ah, yeah. So I'm from the beautiful Bay of Pony. Yeah. I reckon without a doubt, you've got to go for the classic, you know. You've got to go for the Mount Main Beach. Mount Main Beach. I'm writing these down.
Starting point is 00:43:07 Yeah, we could pull it up on top of those changing rooms there that are halfway down the Main Beach. Oh, that would be beautiful. Just up on top there. Oh, a couple of beersies. All right, well, you can't drink in a public place. I mean, a couple of waters. Also, you're driving, so get it under control.
Starting point is 00:43:24 We can camp. Jack's also in Tauranga. Hey, Jack. Hi, Jack. Hi. Jack, you're driving, so get under control. We can camp. Jack's also in Tauranga. Hey, Jack. Hi, Jack. Hey. Jack, where should we go? Where should we stop in Tauranga? Papamoa Domain.
Starting point is 00:43:33 Papamoa Domain. Okay. High foot traffic area. Jack, are lots of people going to come through and see the venute if we go there? Yeah, probably. Because we want to bring the venute to the people. We want to get it seen by as many people as we can. Let's go all the way to Palmy right now. Hi, Brittany. Hi, probably. Because we want to bring the venute to the people. We want to get it seen by as many people as we can. Let's go all the way to Palmy right now.
Starting point is 00:43:48 Hi, Brittany. Hi, Brittany. Hey, how are you? Good. What do you reckon, Brittany? Look, you've got to do fat laps around the square in Palmy because there's really not anywhere else to go here. You're a Palmy resident, Brittany?
Starting point is 00:44:01 You're not just bagging it from the outside? No, I'm unfortunately a resident, hey. Brittany, if we come and chuck some fat laps in the venute in Palmy resident, Brittany. You're not just bagging it from the outside? No, I'm unfortunately a resident, hey. Brittany, if we come and chuck some fat laps in the Venute in Palmy, can you come with us? Oh, 100%. I'm down. I love it. We need a local in the Venute to be doing that.
Starting point is 00:44:17 Oh, for sure, yeah, because you've got to take a couple of detours, particularly down Main Street, around the clubs. Not that there'll be anybody, but, you know, that's all good. When the Venute comes to Palmy, will it be the most famous thing there since Benny Teepeny? particularly down Main Street, around the clubs. Not that there'll be anybody, but, you know, that's all good. When the minute comes to Palmy, will it be the most famous thing there since Benny Teepeny? Yeah, it definitely will. We'll get some attention.
Starting point is 00:44:33 All right, we'll keep your details. Brittany will organise that. Fat manies around the square. And Hannah's also in Palmy. Hi, Hannah. Hi, Hannah. Hi, guys. You've got another suggestion for Palmy North.
Starting point is 00:44:44 Well, other than the square, Palmy generally only has one other cool place. Yeah? And that would be Porkchop Hill. Yes. What the hell is that? Um, it's basically just imagine like a nice bush walking track. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:45:00 But then there's like a dirty car park right up the top. Wait a minute. Hannah, is this a make-out hill? Oh, you could say that. Normally people would take Noodle Canteen and sit on the back of their ute and just enjoy the scenic Manawatu River. We've got to do that.
Starting point is 00:45:18 I love Noodle Canteen. I love it. Our van has the back of a ute on it, so that could be absolutely perfect. Okay, Hannah, Pork Chop Hill, that's in Palmy, right? Yes. Cool. Good suggestion from Hannah.
Starting point is 00:45:29 One last one, and this one's a bit different. This is a text message we got. Yeah, there is a text here that says, Hi, my name is Lila and I am eight. My mum doesn't know this, but can you come to my house? We've got Lila on the phone. Hi, Lila. Hi, Lila.
Starting point is 00:45:47 Hi. You're how old? Eight. Right, and you want the venute to come to your house? Yeah. Lila, oh, it would be cool to pick up Lila from school or drop her off at school. Again, we need permission from Lila's parents to be able to do that.
Starting point is 00:46:03 So, Lila, we will have to tell them at some stage. What city or town are you in? I'm in Tauranga. Okay, we could make that happen. We're coming to Tauranga. And can I say your grammar and spelling on the text machine is very good, Lila. Thank you. Okay, wait there.
Starting point is 00:46:23 We'll see if we can bring the venute to your house. It is filling up, but if you have more places we can go, Monday Tauranga, Tuesday Hamilton, Wednesday Palmy, and Thursday finishing in Wellington, including a big party at East Ab on Courtney Place that night. Keep them coming through. 966 on the text machine. Maybe you need the venute for something else.

Starting point is 00:54:11 all about how my life got flipped If Will Smith toured, would you go to a Will Smith concert? Does he do tours? Does he do shows? Him and Jazzy Jeff. I think they did a small tour. Jazzy Jeff still tours? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:25 Yeah. Bree and Clint, the podcast. ZM. I'm going to go out on a limb here, Bree, and just assume you've never made any, like, adult films or anything, right? Like, you've never starred in any, like, there's no, like, DVDs of you out there or anything like that, right? No.
Starting point is 00:54:40 No. Not that I know of. No, right? That guy offered to buy your bath water that time, but that doesn't really... Why would you bring that up? Well, you brought it up. I thought that was public knowledge.
Starting point is 00:54:50 Now you just saying that, people are going to be like, what the hell? She didn't do it, all right? She didn't do it. I should have, though. The guy didn't offer her enough money. Yeah, I regret it.
Starting point is 00:54:58 He offered me $1,000 on Instagram, this guy, random dude, if I gave him some of my bath water. What a creep. But also, what a great deal. I know. I can't believe I didn't do it. You didn't even have to give him real bath water.
Starting point is 00:55:10 I could have just made some dirty water and put it in a bottle. Giving him cloudy water. $1,000. Regrets. God. No one's ever offered to pay $1,000 for my bath water before. Okay. Well, there's, and look, just like that weirdo out there,
Starting point is 00:55:27 and what a creep, by the way, and we reiterate, Bree didn't do it, but she's sounding more and more open to it. Sure have. There's something for everybody, right? Everybody's into different things. Yeah. And I'm wondering if you'd be interested in a category of film called mukbong.
Starting point is 00:55:44 What? It's a fetish thing. Okay. But I think you'd be really good at it. I think you are a Mookbong star in the making. Okay, but what does it entail? Okay, so it comes from South Korea and it involves watching people binge eat food
Starting point is 00:56:03 on a YouTube live stream. I've heard about this. So what you do is you set up your camera facing you and then between you and the camera, you just put out a feast of whatever you feel like that day. See, like that sounds like my kind of job. Yeah, you might go all Maccas. You might go, I want to eat every burger on the Maccas menu.
Starting point is 00:56:24 Or you might go all Bcas and you might go I want to eat every burger on the Maccas menu or you might go all BK and you go I want to have as many Hawaiian BK chickens as I can possibly eat or you might go I want a whole sales pizza but I want one slice has to be every single slice has to be a different flavour of sales pizza
Starting point is 00:56:39 That's just every Friday night at my house And that's mukbang, that's it People tune in and they get like stress relief, some kind of pleasure out of just watching you. People like it. People love it. How much do you get paid? So the top mukbang, and it's spelt mukbang,
Starting point is 00:56:56 but I've been told that it's pronounced mukbang, if you're saying it correctly, M-U-K-B-A-N-G. The top stars, because once you get your following right, you can then privatise it and you can move your stream behind a paywall and you can charge people to watch you eat. And I actually don't even know if you have to commentate. I mean, we wouldn't be able to stop you from talking,
Starting point is 00:57:17 but if you don't feel like it, you can just eat. You can cry if you want. The top mukbang stars are making up to $13,000 a month. What? Just for eating. So do we have a deal? As your mukbang agent, I only need 20% and I will get the food for you.
Starting point is 00:57:37 I require 20% of the food as well. But if you want to do this, we can shake on it right now. Are you paying for my personal trainer? Oh, no, that's all on you. Oh, what? Plus, we only shoot you sitting down, so your body shape is not our problem. We'll take this conversation off.
Starting point is 00:57:54 Okay, we'll talk off there. I'll get your contract behind the scenes. Okay, sweet. Okay, cool. ZM Spree and Clint, the podcast. I actually learnt something prepping for the show today. Did you? Yeah, behind the scenes here at the radio show,
Starting point is 00:58:05 we, you know, search out for stuff to talk about. Well, you're meant to learn one new thing every day if you want to keep growing. Well, I have learnt something today and it's off the back of this story that has come out of Tararua. Close, try again. Tararua.
Starting point is 00:58:20 We've been practising both songs, by the way. We've been having a lesson. It's not bad. Not bad? Yeah. Cool. And also, I don't want to discourage you because I like that you're trying. I'm trying.
Starting point is 00:58:31 When Bree tries to pronounce Māori words, her voice goes deeper. I can't help it. No, but it's nice, but it's weird. I can't do the thing that you guys do with your tongue. You roll the R's. Tararua. Tararua. Tararua. I think I got it then.
Starting point is 00:58:41 Yeah, but if you said it like that, it'd be weird. People would be like, what's wrong with you? Are you all right? And I wanted to get in the resident expert on this topic that I'm about to talk about, which is Producer Ben. Producer Ben, good afternoon. He doesn't know what we're about to talk about, but something that I've learnt off the back of this article
Starting point is 00:58:58 that I was reading, and it's about tramping. Oh, I do love tramping. Producer Ben loves tramping. Do you know, because him and I have worked together for quite a while. Oh. I do love tramping. Producer Ben loves tramping. Do you know, because him and I have worked together for quite a while. Yeah. One summer, we finished work and he disappeared. He goes, right, I'm off. You won't hear from me for two months.
Starting point is 00:59:13 Two months? Was that how long it was? Yes, yeah. And he tramped from one end of the South Island to the other. Oh my. What, the whole way? You didn't get in the car? No, I didn't.
Starting point is 00:59:22 I just got, no, it wasn't. That was half the South Island. Oh, okay. Just half the South whole way? You didn't get in the car? No, I didn't. I just got – no, it wasn't. That was half the South Island. Oh, okay. Just half the South Island. Yeah. That's crazy. Any broker's foot along the way or something stupid like that. Still loved it.
Starting point is 00:59:32 Loved it. I'd do it again. I want to finish it. You loved a tramp. So this is the question I have for you, and as I was reading this, is it true that the Department of Conservation, DOC – Yeah, DOC. Yeah, DOC. has – Yeah, dock.
Starting point is 00:59:45 I mean, I'm not an expert. Tararua. Tararua. Has little huts around the North and South Island that trampers can use. Yeah, huts everywhere. Did you know this? Yeah. They're called dock huts.
Starting point is 00:59:58 Yeah, so they're called dock huts, right? Are they? Yeah. I was reading about these. So the story – have you ever stayed at, you would have stayed at the bar? We all stayed at heaps, yeah. Have you ever seen anything real weird or strange go on at the dock huts? Not that I'd want to repeat.
Starting point is 01:00:16 But I think I may know where this is going, if this is a topical story. Yes. Let me ask you, so there's a topical story going around at the moment. Is the story safe for the whole family? Yes, it's safe. Okay, cool, cool. So apparently there's – I just hear producer being in a dock hut and I'm like,
Starting point is 01:00:29 I don't want to know what happened. No, this is fine. Well, I don't know if it's fine, but there was a guy in Tararua who was at one of these dock huts and he's turned it into a brewery. Oh, legendary. Yeah, that's cool. Yeah. Did you read that story?
Starting point is 01:00:43 Yeah, I did read about that. So apparently they rocked up at this dock hut and there's this guy who's just brewing massive amounts of beer and he's using the water from the local lake. Now, I'm going to ask you, Ben, as an avid tramper, your opinion in a second on that. But for me as an outsider, great. Because I imagine you'd go on these long-ass walks
Starting point is 01:01:01 and you can't put a dozen beers in your backpack. You can't. You'd be too heavy. You can. But still, like you'd want something these long ass walks and you can't put a dozen beers in your backpack. You can. It'd be too heavy. You can. But still, like you'd want something cold and fresh. If you rocked up at the dock hut and some guy had a craft brewery going.
Starting point is 01:01:11 You'd love it. You'd love it, right? Yeah, you would. Great. Yeah. The only problem is that this guy, apparently lovely young American guy, was inviting heaps of his friends
Starting point is 01:01:20 and they were using the dock hut as a party zone. Yeah, that's what they're for. Right? No. But like, for everyone to use. The only thing that I don't get about that story of his friends and they were using the dock hut as a party zone. That's what they're for, right? No. But for everyone to use. The only thing that I don't get about that story is usually a dock ranger would check a hut every week or two, but the fact that he was able to hide it from someone for so long.
Starting point is 01:01:37 Means the ranger wasn't on it. Yeah. Means the ranger knew about it. He was doing a deal on the side. There's no way that they wouldn't know about that. I've got a mate. But I haven't read the full article, so I don't know. I've got a mate who's a dock But I haven't read the full article, so I don't know. I've got a mate who's a dock ranger, and it's a very lonely job.
Starting point is 01:01:50 If you're telling me that I get beer and a mate, I'm going to turn the other cheek. You're in. I'm in every single time. Well, there you go. One more time, this brewery dock hut, or DOC hut, as Bree calls it, is where? Tararua. Beautiful, thank you.
Starting point is 01:02:00 Bree and Clint, the podcast. ZM. I promised you an embarrassing story with movers and something that you would never want a mover to find. No. So, I mean, awkward at best is when the movers come in and they're touching all your stuff and they're moving things around. I hate that experience.
Starting point is 01:02:21 Too much of an invasion of privacy. It is. But it's a convenience. It is. If they do it all for you Also movers are like doctors They can't tell anybody They have to go by The Hippocratic Oath
Starting point is 01:02:30 I don't know about that You're never allowed To tell another mover What you found In someone else's house I don't know about that They have the hardest job In the world

They're not brain surgeons. Well, one of the hardest jobs. Physically. Physically.
Starting point is 01:02:48 I wouldn't like to do it. Okay. There's a story that was floating around the office here at ZM and we will not name the person that was telling the story. Oh, can we not? We can't name her. Okay. But she was telling the officer's story about how she's moving. So I guess if you know her, it's two and two together.
Starting point is 01:03:07 No, there's lots of people moving at the moment. Yeah, there's heaps of people moving. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Heaps of people. She was moving recently. Now I'm nervous. And by recently, we mean in the last three to five years. Yeah, three to five years.
