Are you ready for a podcast?
Not this shit again.
We've only got one good rap track in us.
We'll never regain those lofty heights of it.
You can't outdo that.
That was a freestyle, that, by the way, for everyone asking.
No!
Clint, where'd you write those lyrics?
You're the next Eminem.
How'd you come up with those?
You're the next B-Rab.
Where did you get in the lab and record those?
It all came straight from the top of the dome, baby.
Beat lab.
Rock the microphone.
How's everyone going?
Listening to this.
You can't respond, but here's a chance for you to respond.
I'll say it and then you get to say it back.
Hey, how are you going?
It's good to hear.
Yeah, nice.
Cool.
Hope you didn't say anything sad.
Recap the show for us today.
Oh, what's coming up?
Yeah.
We talked to some people
Who have won a lot of money
On scratchies
Which is kind of depressing
But also
Depressing for us
Gives you hope
Guy who doesn't go in there
We talked to afterwards
And we didn't make it to air with
Won a hundred grand
On a scratchy
When he was nineteen
Blew the lot
Blew the
We said oh what did you do with it
He goes
He was nineteen
Of course he's gonna blow the lot
He said I went on holiday
With my ex-girlfriend
Shit
And I paid for the whole thing
Yeah
100 grand
I said did you buy a house
He goes no
Wish I did
That would be great
Don't live with regret
Memories
Hashtag no regrets
Oh actually I don't care about
What I'm telling people
Because they'll hear it soon
Can I talk about one thing
That we haven't talked about yet
What
Remember how we did the
Sicky hotline the other other day yes and you pretended
that because i said you have to ring footlocker and say you can't come in because you've got
athletes foot and then you did and you nailed it and you got the day off um but you said you got
contiki um athletes foot well you didn't wear jandals in the shower I said I did a Contiki tour In Vietnam
And got athletes foot
The marketing manager
For Contiki
Was listening to our show
You be nice
No she's a friend of mine
Monique
She's lovely
Mo
Yeah she's good mate
I felt so bad
But she heard it
And she didn't know
That it was a prank
Or that you were
She thought I had
Actually gotten
Athletes foot
From a Contiki tour
She emailed Bri
And goes
Sorry to hear about you had that experience.
She sent you a reflexology massage to make up for it, which is lovely.
Very nice.
But it's a double-edged sword because one, Bree never did that.
It was a lie.
And two, Bree hates massages.
Calm as a bitch, isn't it?
Yeah.
No, she was lovely.
I emailed her and like came clean.
Oh, you did? Yeah, I did. And she was really lovely about emailed her and like came, came clean. Oh, you did?
Yeah, I did.
And she was really lovely.
Is she going to hook you up with a contiki?
She was talking about it.
Where do you want to go?
Europe.
I'm Italian and I've never been to Italy.
You worried you're too old to go on a contiki?
Yeah.
Because what do they say?
18 to 35?
Is that the window for contiki?
Oh, well, I'm not too old then.
No, legally you're not too old.
Oh.
All right. Spiritually, you're the right age. I think I'm there. I'm not too old then. No, legally you're not too old. Oh. All right.
Spiritually, you're the right age.
I think I'm there.
I'm single.
Yeah, single is key.
I mean, my forehead, you know, my soul says 24, but my forehead doesn't.
I just take myself back to when I was 18 and I was at Polytech and there was a guy on our course who was 27.
Yeah.
And in that moment, I remember thinking he was the oldest person I'd ever met
and he was only 27.
It's just the perspective that you get.
You don't think that now that you're in your 30s.
Now that I'm in my 30s, I'm like, I'm still cool.
I'm a cool guy.
I can do a kontiki.
Maybe I should do a kontiki before the baby gets here.
That's a good idea.
Do you want to go on kontiki with me? Should we go on one together? Yeah. I could do a kontiki. Maybe I should do a kontiki before the baby gets here. That's a good idea. Do you want to go on kontiki with me? Should we go on
one together? Yeah. I like this.
Let's workshop it. Lucy would
be keen for it. We've still got two and a half months
until the baby comes. Yeah, plenty of time.
Can you get a two month kontiki and then I'll just come home
in time to put the crib up and then we'll be away
laughing. I think you can and you just come
back when the baby's all born and it's done
and... Just text me. Yeah. Just text me and I'll come back. And then you jump on the next flight if you can. you just come back When the baby's all born And it's done Just text me Yeah
Just text me and I'll come back
And then you jump on the next flight
If you can
Yeah yeah yeah
European Contiki
Sounds good
But what if you
You know what happens
On Contiki tours
What's that
I've done a couple of Contiki tours
Did you hook up with anyone
Oh no
No
Were you with anyone
At that point
In your life
Yeah
Why were you on a Contiki tour then?
I got it free through work.
Of course you did.
The truth comes out.
Here's today's podcast, everybody.
Enjoy.
Zed-In.
Let's go.
Now let me see you dance.
Zed-In.
Brie and Clint.
Kia ora, everybody.
We have just recorded an excellent stitch-up on Bree's mum.
My mother.
Mumma die.
Oh, strikes again.
Sorry, mum.
You can't get away from it.
We're going to bring you that this afternoon.
Put it this way.
It involves her and a whole bunch of illegally downloaded TV shows
and a very, very unfair fine.
But we'll bring that to you later this afternoon.
Oh, God.
My poor mother.
Other than that, today's a great show as well.
We've got your chance to win more JBL Live headphones this afternoon
with the Insta Fame game.
Yeah, they're awesome.
And also, what else do we have?
We've also got Grab One vouchers up for grabs with Birthday Banger
just before 5.30.
And up next, we want to talk about Scratchy.
Scratchy winners.
Are there anyone who's winning a big amount on Scratchys?
Yeah.
I know one person that's close to me that has.
I don't know anyone who's won the big one.
I know lots of like $100 ones, $200 ones like that.
You wait till you hear this story I'm about to tell you next
about how much this guy has won on a scratchy.
All right, we'll do it up to Ariana Grande.
Brie and Clint, Zidim.
Are you gumming me something?
Zidim's Brie and Clint, the podcast.
Scratchies.
Yeah.
Are you a player yourself?
I enjoy a dabble on the scratchies, yeah.
I love the crossword scratchy.
Oh, okay.
That's different for me.
I get bored.
I want to know if I've won any money, and I want to know now.
I've actually before, I've just scratched the barcode and then scanned it.
That is lazy.
Yeah, but I wanted to know.
No.
Also, I've figured out, this is when you get older, you figure out,
because you know how you're always trying to buy a great present for your parents
for Christmas and their birthday?
Scratchy.
Just my dad, just buy him scratchies.
Loves them.
Honestly, that's all he wants.
I've gone through, I bought him an All Blacks jersey.
Doesn't wear it.
I've bought him all kinds of things.
Doesn't care.
Buy him $20 worth of scratchies.
Happy as Larry.
Over the moon.
Happy as Larry.
You have to check his scratchies for him though,
after he's scratched them.
Because more than once,
he's scratched them and thrown them in the bin.
And then I've gone and checked it.
And I'm like, dad, there's $20 on this scratchy.
Oh, is there?
Oh, sure.
I didn't even notice.
Oh, all right. Thanks. Not the best scratchy. Oh, is there? Oh, shit, I didn't even notice. Oh, all right, thanks.
Not the best scratchy player.
There's a story out of America.
It's a 52-year-old mechanic who was on his way to the tip,
on his way to the dump, and he thought,
hmm, I've got a feeling I might stop and buy a scratchy.
I've got a good feeling.
You know, you get those feelings.
I'm big on those.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Like whenever in my stomach it goes,
I think I might be winning Lotto this week. Has it worked for you yet?
Nah, it hasn't worked yet. He pulls over
and he buys a scratchy.
This guy
has won
$10 million on a
scratchy. What? $10 million?
$10 million on a scratchy.
Which I'm not sure if you can win those cash amounts in New Zealand.
No.
But in America.
Hang on, let me check.
No.
But in America, apparently you can.
Off a scratchy, he's won $10 million.
So did you know like when you win that kind of amount,
you can either opt to take a lump sum straight away
or you can get the whole amount over a number of years.
Yeah, and I think if you take the number of years method,
you get more.
You don't get taxed.
Yeah, but also I think like sometimes,
like say you win the big lotto in America,
if you win the $100 million, I think they say like,
okay, we'll put $80 million in your bank account right now
or you can have the $100 million but we'll stagger it
over the next 20 years. Yeah, that's exactly
how it works. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So they take either
the lump sum, which he took the lump sum,
which was 6 million. Oh!
And after tax, it was 4.6
million dollars in his account.
Do they tax it over there? Yeah.
You don't get taxed here. Oh, that's good.
If you win it, you win it.
Like, have you heard of
someone that you know personally winning a big lump sum off a scratchy?
Not off a scratchy.
I've told you about my mate who won Lotto before.
Yeah.
But no, not off a scratchy.
I've got, like, I know people who have won, like, the odd $100 amount here and there.
Not the same.
But no, I've never known the person who's won the...
We're talking, you know, thousands.
The big Wednesday.
The car, the house, the boat, the batch.
Yeah.
The platinum visa.
A girl I went to school with, we actually went to boarding school together.
Yeah.
It was probably like five or six years after we'd left school.
Yeah.
And I was reading one of the local papers because she was from a place called Chinchilla,
which is a small country town.
And I was reading, I think it was the Chinchilla Times.
It was not.
I think it was.
I think it was called the Chinchilla Times.
Or the Courier Mail.
I don't know.
Something like that.
And I was reading through this paper and I've spotted her face.
And I was like, oh, my God, that's my mate Lauren from boarding school.
I read the story.
She'd won 200 grand on a scratchy.
Jesus. Just back to the Chinchilla Times for a second. I read the story She'd won 200 grand On a scratchy Jesus
Just back to the Chinchilla Times
For a second
Imagine
I've got a hypothetical for you
You're a Chinchilla
It's about six pages
Not a big paper
Yeah yeah
You're a Chinchilla
Okay
You're that animal
And somehow
In this simulation
You can read
And you're in your hutch
And they've lined your hutch
With newspaper
And you're sitting there
On the newspaper
And you look down
And you go
Huh
The newspaper's called Chinchilla times that's ironic isn't it that's it that's the
whole role play that sorry you should be an actor oh you're also a chinchilla that can talk in this
oh i'll pick this back up we want to know what oh 800 dials at m uh have you won a big lump sum
what's a big lump sum we're talking 20 big lump sum? We're talking 20 grand plus.
Oh, okay, yeah.
On a scratchy.
20 grand plus, have you won that or do you know someone?
Who won that much?
Who has won that much on a scratchy?
Oh, $800 ZM.
Or you can text us.
Or are you a talking chinchilla?
Brie and Clint, the podcast ZM.
A guy in North Carolina has picked up a scratchy for a couple of bucks
and he's won $10 million.
$10 million.
Imagine the nerves of you holding that winning ticket,
just trying to get it from there to wherever the place is
that you claim the money.
You're hoping you don't get robbed, rained on,
so the ticket doesn't melt.
I don't know.
I wouldn't be able to handle that.
Who knows, right?
Who knows?
We want to know this afternoon if you won a decent amount
on a scratchy, right?
Yeah, because you don't usually hear those stories.
I mean, you hear people picking up a couple of bucks
here and there, but we want to hear the big ones,
20 grand plus.
Hi, Lisa.
Hi there.
How much did you win on a scratchy, Lisa?
It wasn't me. It was my dad. He won $100,000. Hi there. How much did you win on a scratchy, Lisa? It wasn't me.
It was my dad.
He won $100,000.
What?
Okay.
What?
So my dad, whenever he's playing lotto, goes to us,
if I win, what do you guys want?
So we got to place our shopping list before he'd won the money.
Did your dad buy you anything with his $100,000?
Yes.
What did he buy you anything with his $100,000? Yes. What did he buy you?
He's bought us a few little things and he's bought us a
tent and he's helped
with things that the kids
need and he'll just keep
on going.
Yeah, that's nice. Oh, cool.
You want it to be a good tent.
Hopefully it's like a 20-man tent.
I've got $100,000. You get a tent.
Hi Megan. Did you win heaps on a
scratchy? No, I did not.
Who? But, so
this lady that used to look after my daughter when she
was little, her son had a
dream, no at all,
he had a dream that he was going to win money
on a scratchy, so he went and bought one.
150 grand. Oh. Whoa.
Oh, you wait. There's more. Oh. Whoa. Oh, you wait.
There's more.
Yeah.
Then, like,
he bought the flash car and everything, you know.
And then, like,
I think it must have been
four to six months later,
he had another dream
and then he won 100.
No.
Are you?
Is that true?
Those people.
Whoa.
Yeah.
There's some studies out there
that reckon if you win it big,
you're more likely to win again
For some reason there's this weird anomaly
Of course that's what they tell you
To keep you playing
You'd have to give some of the second one away
You're like and it's so weird
They were dressed in this uniform
Hi Caro
Hi guys
This wasn't you right
But someone you know won a big amount on a scratchy.
Mate, my next door neighbour has just won 100k on a scratchy.
What?
Recently?
I am not kidding you.
I am so jealous.
And how, what are they spending it on, Caro?
They've bought a brand new car, which is pretty, pretty nice
because they were getting around in an old dunga.
And they've just put a new kitchen in.
Oh, how good.
It's your neighbour and obviously you know a little bit about them
because you know that they've won.
Did you ask for anything?
No, shit, no.
I asked for a glass of wine when I went around there when they told me.
Ask for a bottle.
Or you should ask them to replace the fence that's in between.
Now you guys should replace that fence.
Or just keep dropping, because if they've done the kitchen thing,
just keep dropping hints about your kitchen.
Go, oh, I'd love a new kitchen.
I can't believe you just said that, Bree.
My other neighbour needs to go halves with us on replacing the fence.
No way.
Obviously, it's the wrong frigging neighbour.
It's the wrong neighbour? It's one that's scratchy. You're still going, it's the wrong frigging neighbour. It's the wrong neighbour.
It's one that's scratchy.
You're still going to have to bloody go halves, Caro.
I know.
Oh, devastating.
Grab yourself a scratchy on the way home, Caro.
I will.
I will.
Good luck, mate.
Cheers for calling.
ZM Spree and Clint, the podcast.
Live from Hollywood with our man on the ground,
Dean McCarthy.
Spy.co.nz.
Dean, something feels different today.
Yeah, something's up.
I can tell something's up.
Yeah, what is that?
Like it feels like you're technically older,
but somehow you look another year younger.
Could that be?
That's weird, isn't it?
Wait, it's your...
You can call me Benjamin Button.
Feel free.
That one took you a while.
Maybe the mind's slowing down.
No, Dean, happy birthday.
Happy birthday.
He's 21 today.
Finally, I can go to the pub.
Yeah.
Let's get real.
You don't do pubs.
You do rooftop bars, and that's about it, right?
Exactly.
The VIP section of the rooftop bar, thank you very much.
Hey, unfortunately, all of Spy can't be just about you,
but today it is all about the Knowles family, right?
We're going to start with the other Knowles, Solange.
She's pulled out of Coachella.
I love that you're getting so shady every single day. Yeah,, she's pulled out of Coachella. I love that you're getting so shady every single day.
Yes, Solange has pulled out of Coachella.
Let me tell you what happened.
This is just like hashtag petty.
So Solange, which is Beyonce's sister, was set to perform.
Some of her band members got sick, right?
I don't know what they got, but they got sick.
She has cancelled the entire performance because she doesn't think
that she can find other musicians that will do the justice
and do the job well enough for her to go on stage.
Now, that's pretty diva, don't you think?
I mean, surely a guitarist, you could find another guitarist
if your sister was Beyonce.
You'd know a couple of guitarists, right?
Yeah, you'd be able to sort something out.
You are one of the Knowles family.
But also, Coachella's still a couple of weeks away. How sick are these guys? Yeah, right. be able to sort something out. You are one of the Knowles family, but also Coachella's still a couple of weeks away.
How sick are these guys?
Yeah,
yeah,
right.
Well,
it's this weekend.
Yeah,
so they had a good week lead up.
You'd think they have at least a week of practice.
So I don't know,
something maybe a bit fishy or,
or just very particularly diva-ish is going down.
That's super disappointing,
but to celebrate,
we'll play one of the hits,
one of Solange Knowles hits.
Let's play one of the hits.
Oh,
you,
like, I don't, I don't have any.
Beyonce and Beyonce.
I've got lots of Beyonce.
No Solange?
You leave Solange alone.
She's an underground artist.
She's gone.
She's alternative.
I mean, it would have been great if she played Coachella.
It's very neck and neck between her and Beyonce.
Let's switch to her sister, though.
What's the latest with Beyonce Knowles?
This is awesome.
Beyonce is coming to our TV screens.
She's shot a Netflix TV special.
It goes, ironically, behind the scenes of her incredible Coachella performance.
Obviously, it was unforgettable.
It was show-stopping.
Spine-tingling, it was so amazing.
And we get to see how it all played out, how they rehearsed behind the scenes.
And then, of course,
you get to watch their full Coachella performance
at the end of it.
So, yeah,
Netflix, Beyoncé special,
anything.
I love anything Beyoncé,
so I'll be watching.
Yeah, it'll be huge.
By the way,
here's some Solange.
You know this song?
This is losing you.
This is a good,
this is actually a good song.
Like, I won't have you
drag me down your anti-Selange
route completely. I only want to go halfway.
I only want to make some jokes.
Okay, Dean, thanks. Happy birthday!
Happy birthday, Dean! Thank you so much!
Bye, guys! Bye is brought to you by
Bonds Intimately. If you're keen for
some new undies, why don't you text
Bonds to 9696
right now. You could win a
$250 Bonds prize pack. I'm wearing some of the Intimately range right now, you could win a $250 bonds
prize pack. I'm wearing some of the Intimately
range right now. Are you?
I saw Caitlin from Fletchhorn and Megan
did a shoot in her bonds. Yeah, did you see that?
Yeah, should we do one in yours?
Give me a...
You're like, you're jubbing up hard.
You're jubbing up a storm. Give me a few more weeks.
Okay, cool. And I'll stop
pressuring female employees
to do undie shoots.
We've both got things
we can work on.
Bree and Clint,
the podcast.
ZM.
One of my favourite shows
in the recent years
would have to be
a bit of Man vs Wild.
I'm Bear Grylls.
I'm going to show you
what it takes
to get out alive
to some of the most
dangerous places on Earth. I've got to make it through a week of challenges in the sort of places
you wouldn't last a day without the right survival skills.
After watching that show, I'm equipped. If I get lost in the Amazon, I know what to do.
They're going to say, after watching that show, I went outside, killed a cow, and slept
inside it. And then drank
my own wee.
I'm getting low on water, and the only
thing I can do is to drink my own
pee.
When I'm watching it... That's not the only thing you
can do, by the way, Bear. No, sometimes
Clinton, if you watch the show,
it is last case scenario.
It's the only thing to do.
I think people love him for his commitment.
But you've got to remember the guy's got a camera crew with him
and like a helicopter on standby.
No, no, I'm drinking it.
You can't stop me.
But it's real life.
It's 100% real.
No, it's not 100% real.
It's simulated.
Oh, no, I'm joking.
Oh, I was going to say.
Cool.
Just so we're on the same page.
All right.
That's fine.
Anyway, that show, I've loved that show for a long time
and there's been many, many series where he's tackled
all different types of wilderness.
There's a new series that's about to drop on Netflix.
I think it comes out tonight actually.
Yeah.
Oh, tomorrow night actually.
It comes out tomorrow night and it's called You vs Wild.
Okay.
So essentially, have you watched the Black Mirror episode Bandersnatch?
No, I don't watch Black Mirror.
So Black Mirror released this episode,
I think it was at the end of last year, called Bandersnatch.
So essentially, it was where you could pick your own path in the episode.
Okay.
We all heard about this.
You heard about that episode?
Yeah.
Where you could actually control what the character was doing in the episode.
Oh, pick a path, like goosebumps.
Yes, pick a path.
This show is going to be that.
Oh, so you can do –
You can pick what Bear Grylls has to do.
So are you Bear Grylls in this?
Is Bear Grylls in it?
Yes.
Yeah, he's in it.
Oh, he would have loved this.
He is hosting it.
Because to create one of these, you'd have to film so many variations,
like so many different outcomes.
And he'd be like, this is great.
I can drink my wheeze, eat my poos.
I can kill that animal and sleep inside it.
I can sleep inside that animal.
I think he's eating poos.
Well, you don't know.
How do you know?
I hope he's not.
What if that's one of the options?
You would make him do that if you watched this.
100% I would make him do that if you watched this.
100% I would make him do it.
It's interesting to see that these interactive kind of series
or TV episodes, that's where the world of film is going,
where people can actually interact with the TV shows.
Well, it's one step away from the VR stuff,
where you literally put on the headset and you put
yourself in that situation yeah yeah i just hope that it doesn't get so real that you end up having
to you know there's like a taste element you know eventually that they bring into it can you imagine
they're like the next step so this is like the first step where it's like interactive and you
get to control what bear does pick a path and then the next one is like scratch and sniff or, you know, smell, taste or.
Or.
I'm getting low on water.
And the only thing I can do is to drink my own pee.
You'd really be careful about what shows you pick to watch, wouldn't you?
ZM Spree and Clint, the podcast.
Yeah, because do girl dogs hump as well?
Yeah.
Oh, the mics are on.
Oh, we'll finish that conversation later.
Okay, cool.
Sweet.
But I thought there was a guy.
We'll finish that later.
We'll finish that later.
We'll talk about that after.
Yeah.
You're still a vet, right?
Yeah.
Yeah, cool.
Yeah, got my Polytech certificate.
This is Bree and Clint.
You're listening to ZM.
Are the mics on?
And the mics are on and we're good to go.
Yeah, we're good to go.
I promised you a parking theory that potentially could save you money
and I want to share that with you now.
Yes, please.
So over the last six months or so, where I live, where my house is,
I live in an apartment and they've recently, when I first moved there,
none of it was monitored so there was no parking metres and stuff like that.
Yeah.
So we could just park
wherever you could find them
wherever you want
as long as you want
kind of thing
and then about six months ago
they brought in
the bloody parking meters
yeah
oh
I hate it when that happens
so annoying
because you're already
in routine by then
yeah
got your spot
you know the times
that the park's gonna be free
yes
then all of a sudden
the bloody man comes around
with his hand out
asking for some money eh
so annoying oh government get off my back oh the council give me a break Then all of a sudden, the bloody man comes around with his hand out asking for some money, eh? So annoying.
Oh, government.
Get off my back.
Oh, the council.
Give me a break.
Anyway, I thought to myself about six months ago, I thought, I know how much a parking ticket is if I get a ticket.
It's about $40.
Oh, yeah.
In the area where I live, it's about $40, give or take.
Yeah. And I did some homework and I was testing this theory
about when I thought the council would check where I would park.
Yeah.
Because they obviously have different days
and they go out to different areas.
They can't, you're right,
they can't check every street every day at every hour.
Exactly.
No, there's just not enough people.
So the theory I had was I believed that
the council checked our parks
in my area on a Thursday
morning. That was my theory.
Usually a Thursday or a
Friday if they're really feeling
you know,
I didn't even know
what the word I was looking for then. What does it mean
the word you were looking for?
Unpredictable.
If they were feeling unpredictable, they could change it up.
Spontaneous.
Spontaneous and come on a Friday.
So I thought I'll park wherever I want throughout the whole week
and I'll only pay for a ticket on a Thursday and I'll test that.
And play the law of averages.
Exactly.
And see if it works out. Yeah. And I'll test that. And play the law of averages. Exactly. And see if it works out.
Yeah.
I think paying for a park for a whole day in my area costs about,
I think it's about $12.
Okay.
So every day, do the math across the, it's a lot.
It's a lot.
It's a lot.
I, over the past six months,
have parked anywhere that I want to without paying,
except for the occasional Thursday when I've, you Thursday when I'm feeling rich and I'll pay.
Yeah.
I have received one ticket.
One ticket in the whole time?
One ticket in six months.
Wait, have you been paying on that Thursday?
So you've been paying for parking once a week?
On the Thursday, I usually try and park way down the street where I know.
Oh, so you just park somewhere else?
Yeah, yeah.
So if we do the math, so $12.
Times seven, that's seven days a week.
Yeah.
Times how many weeks?
Six months.
Six months.
So times four, that's a month.
Times six for six months.
It's about $2,000.
How much money you've saved? I have
spent on parking $40
because that was my parking ticket.
Do you do this? Is anyone
else doing this?
This is a great hack, by the way.
I'll give you that.
And I've been saying this for
ages. Just risk it.
I am on board the risk it train.
If you know the area, and don't do it. I am on board the risk it train. If you know the area
and don't do it everywhere, especially like in the
city where it's unpredictable. Don't do it in
private parking places.
Non-council ones, they'll tow you
or some of their fines are crazy. You can get
$120 fines in there. They're ridiculous.
We're talking the parks where you
pay in the meter. Yeah.
Is anyone else doing this? I want
to know on 0800 dial ZM
are you a risk it kind of person?
Do you not pay
for parking ever? Have you beaten the
parking system? Have you beaten the system?
0800 dial ZM.
Brie and Clint, the podcast.
ZM. Watch out.
Brie's just
backing up with
one of the best parking hacks you'll ever hear.
I've tested the theory.
Just don't pay for tickets.
Risk it.
And then if you get a ticket every now and then, I'm sure people do this.
I mean, you know, it's not going to cost you as much for parking every day.
Just so long as you pay your tickets, by the way.
I do pay my tickets.
Because if you don't do that, if you avoid that, then you're breaking the law.
Yeah, and then you can get in trouble.
Also, if you want to live
this kind of lifestyle,
that's up to you,
but you're not allowed
to get angry at parking wardens.
No.
Because you're basically asking for it.
But I do love walking around the corner
and seeing my car
and going,
oh, you beauty,
no ticket again.
It's like a little game of risk
that you're playing with yourself
every single day.
It's like you're adding
that little bit of spice every time you
come out of your apartment building. You're like, am I going to owe money?
Am I not going to owe money? Life on
the edge, mate. It's great. So
we were asking on 0800DilesAtM,
do you just risk it? Do you not
pay for parking? And is it working out
for you? Once you average everything
out, once you face the fines against
what you would have paid, right? Exactly.
And for me, it's working out really well. We've gotten a lot of parking hacks as well which we will share with
everyone uh but let's go to kayla hi kayla hi how you going good are you someone that risks like
risks it and doesn't pay for a parking ticket yes 100 so we have um a building a building across
the road from work which costs $13.60 a day.
Okay.
Or if I park on the street, I'm risking a $12 ticket,
which at the moment I'm getting about two times a week.
So I'm paying $100 in parking tickets a month instead of $65 a week in parking.
You're a genius, Kayla.
It is bizarre that they haven't worked out the price discrepancy
and gone, we need to put up their fines.
Because a $12 fine, a $12 fine is not deterring anybody.
No.
Like you just said, it's cheaper than the cost of parking.
Brilliant, Kayla.
I love it.
Thanks, Kayla.
Hi, welcome to the show, Megan.
Hi, Megan.
Hello.
What do you do?
Well, at work, we just implemented a $5 parking permit
because it used to be free.
And then all of a sudden, the residents put up a big fuss
and now we have to pay $5 a day through this permit system.
And I refused to pay.
And the tickets are anywhere between $12 to $40.
And it worked out to be cheaper than paying it every day
than to be able to take it every now and then.
Same logic. All my work friends pay every day and to be able to take it every now and then. Same logic.
All my work friends pay every day and I refuse to.
And don't you just feel badass because you're not paying?
Yeah, and nobody can believe it.
Like, I walk out every day and I'm like, oh, shit, yeah,
I don't know where to take it.
Again, I think that's part of the allure.
I love it.
I think it's the living on the edge.
It's being a rebel.
Bonnie and Clyde style.
This text message that has just come through is brilliant.
It's from someone named Peter and they've said that they put 10 cents
into the meter and they grabbed their 10 cent ticket,
which obviously expires within a couple of seconds.
Yeah.
And they said they do that because a $10 ticket for an expired ticket.
So, yeah, it's $10 fine for an expired ticket rather than a $40 ticket for no ticket.
Yeah, so it's cheaper to have an expired ticket than to have no ticket at all.
Yeah.
So you paid $10.10.
I should just do that on a Thursday.
But at the same time, if you're going to pay that $10 fine,
would you not just buy $10 worth of parking?
No, that's too good.
No, that means they win. That's too straightforward.
Sorry, sorry. Okay, cool.
Michelle's here. Hi, Michelle. Hi, Michelle.
Hey. How are you guys?
Good. You've got a parking hack with friends
apparently. Yeah, so my workplace,
we've got the two-hour allocation parking
around our work and instead of
paying for parking, because none of us like to walk
too far, we have
a Facebook messenger
for our employees set up
and when we see
the parking water coming,
we all message parking water
and we all run out
and do car park shuffles.
Brilliant.
Hang on.
Brings people together.
Nah, that one sounds
like a pain in the ass to me.
No, I love it.
No, that one sounds
like too much admin.
No.
It's actually quite
good banter to be honest.
That's office morale.
Because you'll get that message from that one
person who goes, shit, I'm in the toilet. I can't
get out to my car. Last one
is Andy. Hey, Andy. Yep.
What do you do, Andy?
I have a meeting every
Wednesday morning at the CBD
that doesn't finish till 10am.
But I learnt a while ago,
three years, that they
police the clearways until about 9, 9.30.
So for three years, I've been parking without paying for anything,
and I've had one $40 fine.
Wait, are you blocking a clearway, though?
Like, are you preventing, like, an ambulance from getting through or something?
No, so they block off some of the one-way streets
to make it easy for traffic to get through in the morning.
And I'm just around the corner of one of the places.
They walk past my car every Wednesday morning
and don't even look at it.
Give him a medal.
Well done, Andy.
Nice work, Andy.
And good work, New Zealand.
Hey, the Venute Tour next week.
We're taking the Venute from Auckland to Wellington
on a week-long road trip,
Monday through Thursday, stopping along the way broadcasting the show.
We were out on her today.
She had a special photo shoot.
The Venute has done a photo shoot, which was pretty special, I thought.
It's going to be on the Driven website.
Yeah.
You can, I think it's going to be published, what, next week?
They feature the latest electric vehicles, the flashest supercars, the most practical family SUVs,
and now a half-van, half-ute Mitsubishi Hiace from 1989.
It was the first time I think we've all been in the Venute together.
All four of us, me, you, producer Ben, producer Ellie.
Yeah, and how much attention does that car draw?
Oh, yeah, especially when Ben's trying to take off the lights in third gear.
Like, a lot of attention.
People are like, oh, man, that van's sick.
Like, seriously, like sick.
Like it needs to go to the van doctor.
What did that guy say at the lights?
He comes out and he goes, mate, that's a nice wagon.
And then I did the siren for him and he goes, oh, mate.
That's mean.
And then we took off and he asphyxiated from all the pollution that comes out the back of it.
But you know, you win some, you lose some.
Give and take.
I don't know what your plans are for it long term,
but I know you've got a lot of the country that you would like to see.
Yes.
And the Venute, what a great vehicle to do it in.
Are you planning on sleeping inside it at all?
I have had a few thoughts about putting some sort of makeshift bed in the back.
In the back, yeah.
Because there's room for one person to sleep in it.
Yeah.
Two, pretty cosy.
Could be nice in winter.
There's a guy in Arrowtown who over the weekend has been given a fine
for sleeping in his own car.
And I think this is rough.
Can you be fined for that?
Yeah, so I didn't know this either.
But I guess you should know it if you're planning on sleeping in your Venute
or anybody actually. And this is rough because I guess you should know it if you're planning on sleeping in your Venute. Or anybody, actually.
And this is rough because I think he was doing the right thing.
So he's gone out.
He's had a few beers with the fellas.
And then he's got to a point late in the night.
It's in Arrowtown, by the way, in the South Island.
Yeah, I've been there before.
They don't have Uber.
No, there's nothing there.
They don't have Lime Scooters.
They've got that good lolly shop, though.
Yeah, but they don't have any way to get home at four o'clock in the morning.
No.
So he's done the right thing.
He's gone, shit, I'm pissed.
I'll sleep in my van.
I'll sleep inside my car.
So he's gone back to his car.
Key's not in the ignition.
Put the seat down.
Had a snooze.
Slept it off.
And then in the morning, he's woken up
and he's got a fine under the windscreen wiper.
$200.
Whoa!
$200 for sleeping in his own car.
But if his car had been parked there
and he wasn't inside it,
would have been fine.
But because he chose to be inside it asleep,
he gets a $200 fine.
Really?
Because they've fined him for freedom camping.
They've said that he's freedom camping.
He's not.
He's clearly not.
How cool is that fine though?
Freedom camping. Yeah, he's freedom fighting the fine, which he's freedom camping. He's not. He's clearly not. How cool is that fine though, freedom camping?
Yeah, he's freedom fighting the fine, which he's not going to get out of.
But the other bit is, if he was awake, he wouldn't have got the fine.
So it's just the fact that he's asleep and in his car,
and they give him a $200 fine.
He was naked also.
No, there's no proof that he was.
He liked, if I know him, he loved to sleep nude.
Well, if he was naked again, that's his prerogative,
so long as he's got tints or some kind of van curtain going on.
But I just wanted you to be aware.
Do you think that's fair?
No. I don't think that's fair at all.
I don't think that's fair.
But whatever you're doing with the venute, just be aware, I guess.
That's all it is.
Nice backpackers around the country.
I might look into some curtains.
Yeah, cool.
Bree and Clint, the podcast.
ZM.
It's the show that's on everyone's lips at the moment.
Game of Thrones Season 8 comes out next week.
It's the final season and people are fizzing for it.
Yeah, they're like feature-length episodes.
Each episode is like the length of a movie.
People love it.
One person in particular that I know loves this show
is my mum and my dad also.
They watch it together.
They love it.
They can't get enough.
They've tried to rope me in a few times.
I said, no thanks.
They love this show.
They also, I know for a fact, watch pirated episodes.
Yeah, I found that weird when you told me
because I don't know too many baby boomers
who are good with downloading TV shows.
It's not them.
They have a dealer, I like to call him.
His name is Aramis Volpardo.
He lives down the road from my mum and dad.
Oh, right.
Aramis Volpardo.
He's very Italian.
God, he even sounds illegal.
He gives these episodes to my mum and dad on a USB
and they think they're real hip because they're watching it early
or they don't have to pay for the episodes.
They've beaten the system.
They think they're really cool.
I thought it'd be a great idea to call my mum this afternoon
and stitch her up with a fake person from the Australian Film
and Television Protection Commission and tell her up with a fake person from the Australian Film and Television Protection
Commission and tell her that she's been caught for watching these illegally downloaded episodes.
God, you're cruel to your mum, but I'm keen. Let's do it.
Hello?
Oh, hello. Is this Diane Tomasel?
Yes, it is.
Diane, hi. My name's David Carter.
I'm from the Australian Film and Television Protection Commission.
How are you?
Yes, good, thank you.
Great to hear.
Diane, we run regular audits at the Protection Commission here
on internet usage around the country.
Your IP address has been flagged as holding video content,
which is protected under Australian
law. I'm just ringing for an initial consultation regarding this. Would this be correct?
Look, I've got no idea what kind of content you'd be talking about, to be honest.
Well, specifically, the alleged material relates to Game of Thrones season five, episode six.
The audit has shown this in your possession.
Would that be correct?
I might have looked at a trailer of it,
but I haven't done anything else.
This specifically says an episode of the program
has been viewed on your personal computer.
Do you believe there's more than that one episode
that you would have in your possession?
Probably no, because I would have only looked at the trailers of Game of Thrones, to be
honest.
It's interesting because the modem in this situation doesn't lie.
It comes back to your IP address, which links to your physical home address as well.
And there's quite a heavy fine which does come through with these sorts of cases. Another name that comes
as part of our investigation, Aramaeus Volpato.
Yep, I know Aramaeus very well. Does that have some connection with
this alleged offence? No, not that I know of.
Because Game of Thrones episodes come with a cost, a fine
rather, of $1,500 per episode.
What?
Yes, yeah.
Yeah, I didn't view any of the series.
I viewed the trailers, but not the series.
I mean, on, you know, roughly how many episodes would you imagine you'd viewed?
Well, to be honest with you, I've probably only viewed them say six episodes
probably at the most. So we're looking
at about $6,000 there.
Are you kidding me? I mean, they're
already out. Unfortunately,
it's the law.
Well, I think I've got most of the
information I need now.
I'll just pass you over to my supervisor to read
the Privacy Act to you and then we'll come back
for further consultation.
But honestly...
Yes, hello, Miss Thomas...
Thomasal?
Rihanna?
Are you fair dinkum?
This is Alistair's supervisor.
Oh, I know what I'm going to do with that supervisor.
Miss Thomasal, this is the supervisor's supervisor.
Have you streamed any nude movies?
You pig.
You're in trouble, Mum.
Aramis and you are going down.
No, we're not.
Aramis didn't do anything for me.
Just to clarify, Mum, was it only the trailers that you viewed?
That is actually fair dinkum.
That's right.
Those really, really long,
full episode length
trailers,
eh?
Mum,
hook,
line and sinker,
thanks for coming.
Oh,
Brianna.
Bye.
See ya,
bye.
Love you.
Did your mum
just call you a pig?
Yeah.
Twice.
You nailed that.
ZM Spree and Clint, the podcast.
Oh, my God.
I heard she bought all her followers.
She would.
She's such a bitch.
It's time for Bree and Clint's Insta-fame game.
You know the game.
Producer Ellie gives us celebrities from Instagram.
We have to guess how many followers they have.
Today, we're playing for a pair of JBL Live headphones.
Who are we playing for?
We are playing on behalf of two people.
First of all is Natalie.
Hi, Natalie.
Hi, Clint.
You get to choose.
Would you like Bree to represent you in this game or me?
I think you.
You want me?
That's all right.
That's all right.
Cool.
If I win, you'll get the headphones, okay?
Okay, cool. No problems.
And if Bree wins, then Robbie, you get the JBL Lives. Okay,
cool. Let's do this, Robbie. First
celebrity, producer Ellie, get us
underway. Alright, your first celebrity today
is... Oh, the score. You want to hear the
score, don't you? Sorry, Bree wants to hear the score
because she's winning at the moment.
It's 7-5. Good.
We need to cover off these things.
It's still neck and neck.
If I win today, I'm only one behind you.
But if I win, I'm three in front.
First to three.
Good math from us.
First to three.
Producer Ellie hit us with our first one.
All right.
Ariana Grande.
How much does that machine have?
How many?
How much does that machine have?
Is she?
No, actually, I don't want to give any clues.
All right, for Ariana Grande, the machine.
Clint, you put $128 million.
Brie, you put $120 million.
Oh!
Oh, Ariana Grande has $150 million.
That's a point to Clint.
Yeah!
At one point, most followed in the world, right?
Like, it seesaws between her and Kylie and Selena and Taylor for a bit.
Yes, yes.
I think that's right, yeah.
Hey, girl power.
Girl power.
Give us another one, Ellie.
All right, your next celebrity.
She just pulled out of Coachella.
Solange Knowles.
I knew you were going to ask this.
I knew she was going to come up.
Solange Knowles.
Solange Knowles.
Beyonce's sister, eh?
Yep.
Hard name to spell.
Do you follow her?
No.
Oh.
All right.
For Solange Knowles, Clint, you put 98,000.
Brie, you put 1.3 million.
I went too big, didn't I?
Solange has, I don't know why I sound like that.
Solange has 3.9 million.
Oh, 1 for me.
3.9.
Not on the Solange page that I researched before this game.
Oh, did you look one up?
So it's actually her handle, something like Saint.
It's not her name.
Damn it!
Yeah, I know.
Damn it.
And that's what you get for trying to cheat. And Paige, I just, I was like, man, Solange doesn't have many followers. Yeah, that's what her name. Damn it! Yeah, I know! Damn it! And that's when you get the trying to cheat.
And Paige.
I was like, man, Solange doesn't have many followers.
But in my head, I was like, well, she's not Beyonce.
Yeah, no.
You've got to look for the blue tick.
That is the key.
That is the key.
All right, your next one.
He's just dropped a collab with, is it Lil Nas?
It's Billy Ray Cyrus.
Am I got that right?
Lil Nas X.
That one.
We're going to play that song today, by the way.
We're going to play that.
Otherwise known as Miley Cyrus' dad.
Correct.
And Noah Cyrus' dad.
Correct.
And the Metro Station One's dad.
Trace.
Trace Cyrus.
I think Miley might be the most well-known.
Does he have Instagram?
Billy Ray?
He does, actually.
Yep.
He must.
Okay.
He's promoting the single.
Is he pushing it hard?
A little bit, yeah.
It's really good, by the way, this song
Yeah, it is
Alright, Clint
You've put $300,000 for Billy Ray Cyrus
Brie, you've put $2.7 million
Billy Ray Cyrus has $1.6 million
Now I believe that is a point to Brie
Hang on, hang on, hang on
We're going to have to go to producer Ben for this
I think it's a point to Brie
Oh, $2.7
Oh, sorry, I thought you put 3.7.
That's one to me, I think.
Okay, 2-1.
I need this.
It's 2-1.
Yeah.
All right.
Oh, baby.
Now, your third one.
She's actually just come out and said, someone needs to pick up their balls and ask me out.
Charlize Theron.
I saw this.
Yeah.
Otherwise known as Charlize Theron.
That one.
Did you just say...
Did you just say Charlize?
I don't know.
She's friends with J-Lo.
J-Lo.
J-Lo.
I love you so much.
How many for Charlize?
Charlize.
Charlize Theron.
I do love some Charlize.
I'm not saying it again.
Charlize.
Ooh.
All right, Clint, for Charlize Theron.
You've put $3.2 million.
Brie, you've put $9.1 million.
Charlize Theron.
Is that better?
Is that good?
She's got $4 million, and that's a point to Clint.
Yes.
Oh, we're going to tie break, baby.
Oh, we're in this.
Natalie, I got you.
I'm going to get you these headphones.
All right, we are in this. We are in this, baby. We are in this. Let's go tie break, baby. Oh, we're in this. Natalie, I got you. I'm going to get you these headphones. All right, we are in this.
We are in this, baby.
We are in this.
Let's go to tie break.
All right.
People think I'm the competitive one.
Well, why have you got a secret folder up, by the way?
That's for my credit for the JBL headphones.
I'm just checking you're not hiding the answers behind there.
Nah, fair, Clint, fair.
All right, your final.
You do have a history of cheating.
That's true.
Hey, you were the one who was researching people earlier today.
Yeah, not well.
That's not though.
It was a smart move.
Alright, your final celebrity.
This is actually a group and my personal favourite group of all time.
One Direction.
No, but that was close.
No, it wasn't close.
Queen.
You're on fire this afternoon.
Oh my god
Queen

They have Instagram
Yeah Queen Official Music

Alright for Queen Clint you put 1.2 million Oh, no.
All right.
For Queen, Clint, you put $1.2 million.
Brie, you put $4.9 million.
Queen have $2.8 million.
Now, my math is not great.
It's Clint, isn't it?
I think.
Yeah, I think it's Clint.
Yeah, it is.
Are you giving it to me?
Did I win it?
Yeah, I think you did. Did I win it?
I think you did. Is that right? Natalie, we giving it to me? Did I win it? Did I win it? I think you did.
Is that right? Natalie,
we've got you some headphones. Congratulations.
Yeah. Thank you so much.
You can't take it away now. Natalie's already got the headphones.
Right.
Well, we can. No, you can't.
No, you can't take it away.
I'm just joking. Congrats. A pair of JBL
Live headphones with Google Assist
and Amazon Alexa built in coming their way to you.
Great, thank you so much, guys.
No worries.
Sometimes you come across a video on the internet
where you can't look away, but then you want to look away,
and then you shriek in horror.
There's a video that's doing the rounds on the internet
at the moment of an NCAA gymnast who was competing at an event and she's –
She's doing the mat, right?
She's doing a floor routine, yeah, and she's went to land, I believe,
a handspring double front with a blind landing.
So it's essentially, I think, yeah, where they land
where they don't really know where they're going to land.
And she, it looked like she's hit, there's like kind of a mat on the floor.
Yeah.
And she's kind of half landed on the mat and half landed on the floor.
And she's ended up breaking both of her legs
and she also dislocated both of her knees at the same time.
And it was televised.
It was in America.
It's a competition.
The whole thing was live on TV.
We've actually got the commentary.
Well, I've got the video with the commentary.
I haven't seen it.
It's not great.
Do we watch it live?
Here you go.
This is what it sounds like.
An aerospace engineering major Such an impressive young lady
Let's see how high she flies right here
Good so far
Oh
Oh
Yeah
Horrible
Horrible injury
Oh why did you make me watch that?
You watched it.
What?
Oh.
I said don't watch it.
Oh.
She's okay, right?
Like she's, I mean, she's horrifically injured.
No, she's not.
The mat moved.
You know what it looks like?
Describe it for you in the car.
I don't think people want it.
You know you've got a Barbie doll,
and you know how their legs bend backwards?
But not really.
Not really.
But then if you try really hard, you can bend them forwards.
Both of her legs did that.
Oh.
And I feel so bad for her,
because that's obviously like career ending.
Oh, she's not going back to it.
Nah. It reminds me of also,
Sean Johnson broke his leg on the field once.
Yeah, I remember that. And it was
brutal. Like snapped the
bone kind of. And they say
that some sports people never recover from it
because the bone may strengthen but
you've got this mental block which
goes, don't go as hard as you
used to go because remember that time when you tried
to do that thing and it snapped your bone?
You don't want to do that again. Yeah, they reckon your brain will
subconsciously stop you from trying to do it again. I snapped your bone. You don't want to do that again. Yeah, they reckon your brain will subconsciously stop you
from trying to do it again.
I was playing in a soccer game once and these two girls collided
and one of the girls broke her leg real bad.
And luckily, our goalie at the time, she was an ambulance officer
and she's come over and she's looked at her leg and said,
that's real bad. And then she like helped her and she's looked at her leg and said, that's real bad.
And then she like helped her and put her in this position.
That girl, we found out because she was on the opposition team,
she had four surgeries.
Afterwards?
Afterwards.
She nearly lost her leg.
Really?
Yep.
Because when you break your leg, you can hit arteries and things.
But you look at those leg bones.
They're the strongest. Are they the strongest bones in your you look at those leg bones. They're the strongest.
Are they the strongest bones in your whole body?
I believe so.
They're the biggest.
Yeah.
Especially your femur.
I've never broken a...
Is it your femur?
What's the big one in your thigh?
I don't know.
I've never broken a leg bone.
Have you broken a leg bone before?
God, no.
No.
Thank God.
Yeah.
Do you want to ask this question?
I mean, after watching that video, I mean...
0800 DIAL ZM.
Have you ever broken a leg?
No ankles.
No dislocated knees.
No feet.
Just legs?
Just straight leg bones.
Did you break a leg?
What happened?
How did you do it?
You can text us also on 9696.
This is grim.
We would also advise don't watch that gymnast video
unless you want nightmares.
Don't watch it.
I think my description's enough, right?
Z.M. Spree and Clint, the podcast.
There's a video doing the rounds at the moment of gymnast Sam Serio
who attempted a ham spring double front with a blind landing and she's landed wrong
and she's broken both legs and also dislocated both knees at the same time.
Such an impressive young lady.
Let's see how high she flies right here.
Yep.
Ooh.
And I think she may be hurt.
It looked like that ankle came down very awkwardly,
and she is obviously in some pain.
Is that guy joking?
That guy is like the most understated guy I've ever heard.
She's clearly broken both of her legs, and he's gone,
I think there may be a problem.
I think it's his job, though, to kind of be like, oh,
because I think it was live.
Thank God Justin Marshall wasn't commentating the gymnastics too because as a leg
break he would have gone, oh, boomfah!
Not quite appropriate. We're asking this afternoon on 0800DilesAtM
have you broken a leg before and what happened? Hi Simon.
Simon, pretty serious injury. Did you break
your leg?
Yeah, when I was 13, me and my brother were playing on BMXs and he biked past me, tagged me, and so I tried to tag him back,
but I overreached, I fell over, my bike went through my leg and broke it.
Oh!
And then my handlebars went through my leg and broke it. And then my
handlebars went through my brother's
back tires and when he
went head over handlebars,
he broke both of his wrists.
Oh, God.
You're kidding me, Simon.
Oh, my God.
The amount of ice cream necessary
in your household with three
broken bones across two boys.
And it's not really your fault.
Like, you guys were just BMXing, right?
No, no, yeah, just on the side of the road.
What are the odds of that?
Hey, Bailey.
He broke both his ribs.
Hi there.
Bailey, tell us.
Tell us what happened.
A few years ago, I used to play basketball,
and I jumped up to get a rebound, and someone pushed me,
and when I landed, I snapped my shin.
You snapped your shin?
Yeah, my shin snapped.
So was it the tibia or the fibula?
I don't remember.
The shin.
But the worst part of it was that after about six months,
I went back to the doctors, and they realised it hadn't healed properly,
so they had to surgically re-snap it.
No!
God!
Are you still playing basketball?
No, not anymore.
Gave it away.
You'd quit after that.
You would.
Unless you're offering me NBA money, I'd quit.
No more.
No more.
Because we were talking about off-air, the different bones in your leg,
because in your lower part of your leg leg you've got the tibia,
which is the bigger bone.
The front one?
The shin, yeah, the big bone.
And then you've got the fibula, which is the little bone.
Yeah.
And then like in your thigh you've got the femur.
That's the big one, right?
That's the real bad one you don't want to break.
Hi, Steve.
Hey.
What happened, Steve?
So when I was about five years old, me and my father, we used to go down the ramps in
the supermarkets, and I'd ride in the trolley with all the groceries, and he'd be on the
wheels.
And basically, one day, we didn't have enough groceries.
I flipped over with the trolley.
The trolley landed on me, snapped my leg.
Which bone?
Do you remember?
Can't remember.
It wasn't the big one, the one up top?
No, no, it wasn't the big one.
It was one of the lower legs.
One of the...
Right.
In a hip-high cast for six months.
Baby, young bones, though, they're rubbery, right?
That stuff just bounced right back.
You bounced back.
You came back stronger than ever, right, Steve?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Perfect.
Good. This girl I played soccer with, she recently
broke the smaller bone in her
lower leg, the fibula, and
the doctor said you can technically
walk around if you break that bone.
Oh, because you've got a spare one? Yeah.
Don't know if that's good advice from the doctors.
You're not meant to do it. The fun thing about
this injury is you're sweet. Just go
for it. Hey, Abby, welcome to the show.
Hi.
Abby, you have a story about someone breaking their leg?
Yeah, yeah, it wasn't me.
It was my mum.
When she was eight months pregnant,
she tripped over a vacuum cleaner and broke both her legs.
Both?
Both?
Yeah.
So she had to give birth in two leg casts?
Yeah.
Okay, tell me Dad was around and Dad was able to do everything after that?
She just did everything in a wheelchair.
Oh, my God.
Was she pregnant with you?
No, no, it was my younger sister.
God, she owes her something.
Like, she owes her Great Mother's Day presents for the rest of your life.
Can you imagine trying to push a baby out with two broken legs?
God.
It's stuck between the...
Push!
Not too hard, though.
Not too hard.
Push!
Just take it easy.
Imagine how dirty the casts would get as well.
That doesn't be a thing.
Thank you, Abby.
There you go.
Is that enough leg-breaking stories for one day?
Yeah, I've had enough.
Okay, cool.
That sound effect was enough.
Bree and Clint, the podcast.
ZM.
Hey.
It's my birthday.
It's my birthday.
Bree and Clint's birthday banger.
Where we figure out what was number one on your actual 16th birthdays,
and then we play one of those songs in full.
Yeah, we got a cool message before.
So this isn't a competitor, but someone texts us about their daughter?
Yeah, no, their niece.
Someone messaged us on our Facebook page and they said,
my beautiful niece Ruby is turning 16 today
and I picked her up for school this morning and she said to me,
I wonder what my birthday banger would be?
Well, you've got to be 16 years old to play this game
and technically if your birthday is today,
then your birthday banger for the rest of your life is whatever is number one today.
So let's find out.
This is for Ruby.
She turns 16 today, which means the number one song
that is top of the charts today for Ruby is this.
I'm a bad guy.
Duh.
Not bad.
I like it.
Your birthday banger is Billie Eilish, Bad Guy.
Yeah.
Cool.
All right, so that one doesn't count? No. It's just a special bonus birthday banger? Yes. Shout out to Ruby. Your birthday banger is Billie Eilish, bad guy. Yeah, cool. All right, so that one doesn't count?

It's a winner.
It's got to be.
Do you do a good Whitney on karaoke, Debbie?
Oh, no. I'm

Natalie Ambrosia.
Oh, Romana, you've got such a good one.
Oh, that is a good one.
Was she married to Daniel Johns from Silverchair?
She was.
Yeah.
I met her once, and it was everything I could have ever asked for.
She was good?
It wasn't disappointing?
Nah, she was great.

This is a disco funk anthem.
Anita Ward, Ring My Bell.
What do you think, Dave?
It was a classic of its time.
Still a banger now, I suppose.
What would you play, David, out of those three?
David? What would you play David out of those three? David.
Probably the first one, actually.
Whitney Houston.
I thought so as well, David.
And that's very honest.
You know, there's a $50 Grab One voucher up for grabs.
David could have said his own song, but he didn't because he's a good guy.
Let's be real.
I'm devastated because I love Natalie Imbruglia.

I'm very torn.
Let me help you out.

This is ZM.
Oh, oh, you almost.
Was I on tune?
That is a top shelf, an absolute top shelf birthday banger
from Whitney Houston for Debbie.
Can't beat it.
I want to dance with somebody.
It really shows how far we've come as a show too
because remember the absolute shit fight?
We had to play this song on ZM.
Ross Boss nearly killed us.
He, um, fun fact, by the way, he now goes home at three o'clock.
I don't know.
He's the boss.
He just changed his hours.
He goes home at three.
So he's not here for Birthday Banger.
So that means Birthday Banger got way better.
Yeah, it did.
Because we can play whatever we want.
We had to physically fight him to play this.
And now it's just like, should we play Whitney? Yeah, let's play Whitney.
We do what we want here.
ZM, Spree and Clint. The podcast.
This bad guy. The number one song in the country
at the moment. Where's the bit on that
dark bit at the end where she goes,
and maybe it's cause I'm wearing your cologne.
You know? Yeah, I know. That version?
We need to play that one. That real
spooky bit on the end.
She's like, I don't see what she sees,
but maybe it's because I'm wearing your cologne.
Mine would be like, I'm wearing your underwear.
Because they're more comfy than mine.
I'm wearing my underwear, but they've got holes in them.
I'm the bad guy.
Offered you a choice before.
This is like Pick a Path radio. I like this where the audience gets to pick which piece of content we do.
Well, it's because we're running out of time.
It's because we're poorly organized.
It's because we played Whitney Houston and Billy Ray Cyrus before,
which I'm all about, by the way.
Two pieces of content.
We can only do one.
Do you want to know about the lady in Melbourne who's suing her hairdresser for a bad haircut?
Or do you want to know how many calories
and how much exercise you'll have to do
to burn off your Easter treats?
On the text machine, a lot of people who were like,
can you please not ruin my Easter egg eating?
And it may do that.
You're right, yeah.
And it was 50-50, but the hairdresser just took it out.
Oh, no.
Cool, man, just don't respect the drum roll at all.
Sorry.
No, it's fine.
So we're talking about the hairdresser.
And the winner is Brie.
The hairdresser wins.
Cool, I've only researched the Easter one
because that's the one I wanted to do.
But I know the ins and outs of the Melbourne hairdresser
So a lady goes there for a haircut
Yeah
It's a real story happening at the moment
The haircut is bad
You know when you get a bad haircut and you know it's bad?
Hers was very bad
Like burnt her hair, snapping off at the ends
She got it bleached as well, right?
Yeah, she had the whole kit and caboodle
The whole package
And she took them to court and sued them for $30,000.
And she lost.
Yeah, she didn't win.
I guess you can't prove that your hair is worth $30,000.
So I looked into that.
She said she wanted to claim $15,000 for humiliation and distress.
Yeah.
$1,900 for a wig to look her best at her 30th birthday.
Yeah, that's fair enough.
Or $1,900.
That doesn't work out to $30,000 though.
Yeah, I don't know where the rest comes in.
I get emotional distress.
There should be grounds for that.
But is it $15,000 worth?
Put on a hat.
Have you been there?
When you go to the hairdresser and you're like...
Yeah, but you and I have had this conversation
about how different a bad haircut for a man
and a bad haircut is for a woman. You simulate what happens
when a lady gets a bad haircut. It's interesting because I'm sure every lady
has gotten this moment in her life, which I mean, doesn't happen all the time
and most hairdressers are amazing, but you go into the hairdressers and you're like, oh, can I
please have a cut and colour and I want it to look like this and
you sit there for six hours and then six hours later
they turn you around and they're like, what do you think?
I personally love it.
What do you think?
And you grit your teeth and you're like, oh, my God, I love it.
I love it so much.
And you try not to cry and then you walk over to the counter
and you're like, how much is this shit haircut going to cost me?
And they're like, so all up today, just about $863.
And then you're like, what?
You're like, can you take eight different cards to put that on?
It's totally worth it.
And I get that and like it takes so long to get.
Like if they cut off too much much a long time to get it back
man gets a bad haircut
he's sitting in the chair
and then he finishes up
and you go
oh it doesn't really look
how I wanted it to look
doesn't look like
that Zac Efron picture
I bought him
yeah it doesn't quite look
like the David Beckham
Instagram account
that I bought up
and you're gutted
like you're
you're just as gutted
as a dude
or at least I am anyway
and then you go
over to the counter and you pay and they go,
that's $35.
You're like...
Tap your pay wave.
Oh, that's not that bad.
And then you go, oh, well, it'll be out in two weeks.
I'll just come back and get another gig.
Damn it.
Bree and Clint, the podcast.
ZM.
Childbirth story.
I don't know if I'm drawn towards these at the moment
because I've got a baby on the way
or if there's just lots of weird childbirth stories around.
Are you going to be in the delivery room?
Hell yeah, I'm going to be in the delivery room.
Yeah.
Like, where else am I going to be?
Are you going to cut?
In 2019, is there any other option?
Are you going to cut the umbilical cord?
Oh, if I'm given the chance to, I'd love to.
Do they still do that?
Yeah.
I think they do.
It's like a store opening, eh, where they cut the ribbon.
They're like, and now to declare this baby a baby,
we bring in the man.
Yeah, that's the same.
Who has done nothing up until this point,
and he will do the ceremonious cutting of the umbilical cord.
And then you all go, right?
That's it.
Your job is done.
My job is done.
Today's birth story is one of those ones
where the lady didn't know she was pregnant until she had the baby.
So I can see you rolling your eyes.
A lady from New Jersey, her name is Patricia Crawford,
gave birth in her bathroom to a full-term baby
without knowing that she was pregnant.
These stories always baffle me.
And obviously I can't comment because I've never been pregnant,
but I've heard that your body goes through quite a lot of noticeable changes.
There's a few things, yeah, a few signs, a few indications.
This is what she said.
She woke up with a sore stomach that she thought was food poisoning,
went to the bathroom and she said,
by the time I got back to the toilet area,
all of a sudden a baby came sliding out.
God, if that's not...
That's a direct quote.
That is a direct quote.
If that's not the easiest childbirth story I've ever heard.
So here's where it gets interesting for me,
from a biological sense as well.
Her and her husband were trying for a baby,
and they thought they weren't having any success.
Right, wait, so this changes this story altogether.
It does.
But when you're pregnant, when you get pregnant,
I mean, I don't mean to tell you how your body works,
but the first indicator that you're pregnant is because
your monthly visitor doesn't come, right?
There can be cases where that's not exactly that simple.
Really?
I think so, yeah.
Really?
You can have, oh, that's getting a bit.
No, okay, that's okay, but it can happen.
Yeah, not, yeah.
Yeah, okay.
It can be a bit confusing.
Right.
I've heard, I've read.
But then the rest of it, like nine months with it.
Like I was sitting on the couch with Lucy,
my wife, last night and she goes
oh, whoa, that thing is kicking
me hard. That's where my mind
goes to. Something's moving around in there.
Lucy's six and a half months pregnant at the moment
and I put my hand on her belly and the
kick from the baby was so strong. It was
like a jolt. Yeah, it's a
bloody human inside your stomach.
Yeah, for nine months.
I mean, it's not kicking the whole time, but again,
neither of us have had a baby,
but these stories where the baby comes out and it's ready.
Can you imagine?
Like, I feel disorganised.
As someone who's had nine months to prepare for this thing,
I don't have, like, I feel like I'm not ready.
Imagine it comes out that day and you're like,
oh, shit, where are we going to put it?
Well, I guess I could pack up the Xbox room or something like that.
No, not the Xbox room.
No, not the Xbox room.
No, no.
We do have that home office.
Yeah, oh, but sometimes I work in there.
Sometimes I do my emails in there.
Yeah, no, I do get that you like to use that.
I've got a drawer.
We could just empty out a drawer and put it on the in the, nah I'll get the
Xbox room, nah don't worry
so there you go
if you've got a sore stomach tonight
she gets not a baby
I gotta get rid of that sound effect man
yeah I don't like it
