Kia ora, e te whānau and welcome to the Brie and Clint podcast without Brie.
Again, she's still at this now. I actually think she's about to fly back.
Well, it depends when you're listening to this.
She may be back when you're hearing it, but she's not on the podcast.
I was sent a package today.
Ooh, well it's in it.
And what they do, this is what happens when you work on radio,
is you get sent some pretty cool stuff, because they all want you to talk about it.
And we're not allowed to talk about it.
That's the catch-22.
Oh, thank you for this beautiful cheese.
Do you get sent cheese?
Yeah, we get sent cheese.
I've been sent cheese.
Oh, what?
Yeah, not today though.
Today I was sent a package from magazine Woman's Day.
Oh, yeah?
They are looking for New Zealand's hottest media hunk.
Oh, are you part of the old list?
No.
Oh.
No. No. No.
No.
But you might remember this competition if you're a Kiwi.
I think they run it in Australia too.
Basically, up until last year,
it's been New Zealand's hottest radio hunk.
They've been looking for the hottest man behind the microphone.
Yeah.
That lasted two years and they've already run out of studs.
Good.
Isn't that a sad indictment on the industry?
So this year it is hottest media hunk.
It's been extended to include TV.
So to open the podcast, a very straightforward question for you guys.
Who's the hottest man on TV?
And you're not allowed to say Jeremy Wells.
Oh, I was literally going to say Jeremy Wells.
It's default because it's default.
He's top of mind for you.
Surely he's going to win it.
What about Mike McRoberts
Oh yeah
Bit of a delf
Bit of a delf
I think he's
Yeah he's alright
He's single too
Is he
Oh
Yeah I think he's single
I've seen lots of Instagrams
Of people on like a Saturday night
Him out in town
Wearing that
T-shirt blazer look
Like very suave
Okay
Ben's going for Mike McRoberts you've tinder matched Mike McRoberts
producer Ellie who's the hottest man on New Zealand television
TK yeah yeah TK uh no I'm struggling with this not because no one's hot yeah because I can't
think of any shows because I don't watch a lot of TV, so I've really ruined this conversation.
Okay.
That's okay.
Back to, you can choose radio too if you want.
Who do you want to?
Oh, we can go, yeah, full media, yeah.
See, it's Jeremy Wells both times, isn't it?
That's okay.
I took the one guy off you that you wanted.
That's totally fine.
Yeah.
Yeah.
What about Vaughan Smith now he's on radio and TV?
Oh, true.
He's a stewing, right?
He's got to be in there.
Hashtag doof. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, true. He's a stewing, right? He's got to be in there. Hashtag dilf.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Also filf.
That's farmer.
Oh, nice.
Filf.
Yeah, I like that.
Filf.
Can we make that a thing?
Yeah, we can.
Of course we can.
We should do a filf calendar.
Oh, my God, yes.
Find New Zealand's hottest farmers.
Write it down.
That's actually real funny.
Write it down.
Put it in the ideas folder.
Yeah, okay.
Yeah.
The filfs. Yeah. So what have we got in the ideas folder Yeah okay Yeah The filfs
Yeah
So what have we got
In that ideas folder
We've got
Do you want
I dress up as Santa
And I spank people
Yeah
I mean without context
That is a wild sentence
I think with context
It was a pretty wild sentence too
Yeah
No that's true too
So that's in the
They've got two folders
Maybe and definitely
The filf is a maybe
And the spank is a definitely
No
Oh Jesus
Today's a fun podcast including
What did you get stuck in your ear
And if you had $10,000 who would you pay to come to your birthday
Enjoy
Kia ora everybody
Good afternoon It's a couple minutes before 3 o'clock Brie and Clint. Kia ora everybody. Good afternoon.
It's a couple of minutes before three o'clock.
Bree and Clint.
No Bree.
She is still.
Is she still skiing?
Do we know?
Is she still.
Today?
Yeah.
She might have got a morning session,
but I think she's arriving back in Auckland tonight.
God, life of some people, right?
She's not here, but don't worry.
We are.
And today on the show,
your chance to win some free mobile fuel again
when we play the Insta Fame game
just before 5 o'clock
there's lots of fun stuff
coming up on the show actually
we're gonna figure out
this is
you know there's always
a coffee study being done
there's always someone going
coffee's good for you
coffee's bad for you
this is what you
you're drinking coffee right now
I am
it's that time of the day right
where you go
shit I need something to get me through to the end of the day.
There's been another coffee-based
study done. Exactly how many
coffees you can drink a day before
it's bad for you. Two. This apparently
is a scientific tipping point. Interesting.
You think two? I wouldn't have more than one
a day. You're drinking your hot chocolate, so your opinion
doesn't count. Ellie, what do you reckon?
How many before it becomes bad for you?
I was going to say maybe three.
Three?
Three.
Okay, well we'll bring you
that information
a little bit later.
Okay.
But next on the show,
you know that feeling of,
well you probably
don't know the feeling,
but the idea of the feeling
where you go like
secondhand shopping
and you buy something
and then you find out
later on that it's
actually treasure.
It's actually worth
a crazy amount of money.
This has happened
to someone in Hamilton and we're not talking about a small amount of money. This has happened to someone in Hamilton.
And we're not talking about a small amount of money either.
We're talking the thing she bought, dirt cheap.
In the end, it's worth tens of thousands of dollars.
Whoa.
It's my dream.
Yeah.
It's my absolute dream to go in there.
And if you did, so you got it from the Salvation Army.
Are you giving any of that money back?
Well, if it was the Salvation Army, you'd have to.
You probably would, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
And if it was just some guy on Trade Me, he's never getting it back.
Nah, run.
Sorry about that.
We'll tell you what the item is that she purchased.
Like, maybe you've got one of these.
Maybe you've got one of these things in your house.
Yeah.
Maybe you're sitting on it right now.
Dun, dun, dun.
That's a clue.
We'll cross live to Hamilton, City of the Future next.
Bree and Clint, ZM.
ZM's Bree and Clint, the podcast.
This is one of those stories that you hear about, you know,
like someone goes and buys something secondhand
and then they get it valued in the end
and it ends up being worth a fortune.
Like what happens on Antiques Roadshow, you know, the good times.
Not the times when they go there and they go, this is junk.
This has happened to someone in Hamilton.
Her name is Irina Tepa
and she's on the show with us this afternoon.
Good afternoon, Irina.
Hello, hi.
So tell us the item that you bought,
first of all.
What was it?
So it is a chair.
It's a circular chair.
It's very oddly shaped.
It's essentially the size of a couch.
It kind of looks like a seashell, right?
Like a conch or like an artistic interpretation
of what a shell would look like as a couch.
Is that fair to say?
Exactly, yeah.
So we're putting a really weird pair of people's heads, but yes.
It's a curly couch, put it that way.
And you bought it secondhand for how much?
So I paid $300 for it.
And now you have it.
And you've just found out that the couch is actually worth how much money?
So if I knew, $17,000 US dollars.
$17,000 US dollars.
That's like $30,000 New Zealand dollars.
It is.
I know.
Crazy.
You didn't know that you were buying a super expensive, super valuable couch when you bought
it.
This happened by accident, right?
Absolutely, by accident.
But the thing was, the person selling it didn't know.
I didn't know.
I just sort of thought, no, this is kind of cool.
I can work with this.
It was completely news to me and I haven't actually told the seller because it's-
Oh God, I didn't even think about the seller. I was just thinking
about you. I didn't think about
the person who's accidentally sold
a $30,000 couch for $300.
That poor person.
Okay, I've got a couple
of questions. Because you had it
recovered, so you've gone, oh, it's ugly
maroon colour and you've put it in like a nice
cream recovering.
Have you essentially made the couch worthless?
I wouldn't say
worthless. It'll be worth something
to someone but I probably have
depreciated it. Like if you
think about restoring something
that is already quite iconic
you'd probably want to consult
the right people I guess.
That's okay. It's done now.
It's done.
Do you know where it came from?
Like, who had this super expensive couch before you?
What was it being used for?
Well, I was told it came from a doctor's surgery,
and I assumed it was a waiting chair
because it's obviously quite unique.
What sort of doctor has a $30,000 couch
in their waiting room
where kids are, like, wiping their snotty hands on it and that sort of thing?
Now you've got it and you've got the world's biggest bargain
and now you know it's true value.
Big question, what are you going to do with it?
Are you reselling the couch at a ridiculous profit?
No, no.
I'm keeping it.
I liked it before I knew what it was.
And obviously, as you know, I've changed it to the point it before I knew what it was. And obviously, as you know,
I've changed it to the point
where it may not be worth anything.
But it's also one of those things
that I think it would be valuable to the right buyer.
What I'm hearing is it's not going on Trade Me,
but if someone has the right amount of money,
you're open to it.
For sure, yeah.
There you go.
That is one of those stories
of someone finding something
and then buying it for a crazy cheap price
and finding out it's super valuable afterwards.
Edna Te Pa, if you want to see it, go to Edna's Instagram.
You can see the couch right there.
You're a stylist as well,
so arguably you should have known how valuable it was before you bought it.
But you know now, right?
You know now.
Oh, I know now.
Yeah, ignorance is blessed.
There you go.
All right, that's Edna.
Thank you very much for talking to us.
Cool.
All good.
Brie and Clint, the podcast.
ZM.
I promised you celebrity babies, and we've got some.
These babies, babies, plural, were on Seven Sharp last night.
They're called the Quads, or the Quad Squad.
Their names are Quinn, Indy, Hudson and Molly McDonald.
They live in Timaru and they are the babies of Kendall and Joshua
who also have another son called Brooklyn who's three.
Oh, wow.
So that is two pregnancies, five babies.
Jeepers.
Quite incredible, eh?
And anyone who's had a kid, which I have now, by the way.
I have, too.
Ike is very relatable to me.
I've got one and, you know, it's a tough job a lot of the time.
One baby.
I bet.
Imagine four babies all at once.
Crikey, Dick.
They were, like I said, on Seven Sharp.
Hilary Barry, bless her heart,
went to the quads' first birthday party.
Of course she did.
And she talked to their mum.
Here's a little bit.
What's been the most wonderful thing about having quads?
I kind of think it's four times the love,
four times smiles, four times the giggles.
And what's been the hardest thing?
Probably the sleep.
A lack of sleep.
Four times the love, four times the laugh, four times the giggles,
four times the nappies, four times the poo,
four times the baby food, four times, like, four times everything.
There's a lot.
And I cannot, like I said, I've got one.
I do not know how these super parents have managed to do it.
She runs an Instagram account around these.
If you're interested in this, I'm completely obsessed.
When I saw it on Stephen's show, I'm like,
that's the family that I follow on Instagram.
You can follow her.
Her Instagram account is quadmumplus1,
and she shows everything, like four baby baths.
The baby's room, there's like four cots set up next to each other,
all that kind of stuff.
There's this crazy like four baby pram that they've got going on that sort of thing am i right in saying that she didn't
know she was gonna have four and all of a sudden oh i don't know about that oh okay she would have
known at some point she would have planned to have you'd have to know yeah planned and then realized
she had to have them early because there were so many of them in there i think they came out at 28
weeks or something like that. And they were crazy
small, these babies. I also read
a story last week about a lady in Australia
who had three kids and wanted
one more. And then on her last one
she got pregnant with five babies.
Oh no. So overnight
she went from three kids to
eight kids. That's more than double what she had.
Crazy, eh? Crazy.
She said it's ruined her marriage.
Oh, no.
She said the pressure, I'm not laughing, I am laughing.
Yeah, that'd be stressful.
The pressure of the whole thing has just absolutely wrecked her.
Not these guys, though.
Not New Zealand Celebrity Babies.
They're going great.
According to Seven Sharp, our Celebrity Baby parents,
Kendall and Joshua McDonald, doing a great job.
That's awesome.
But bugger that is my opinion.
ZM Spree and Clint, the podcast from iHeartRadio.
This is the latest live from LA with Dean McCarthy.
Dean, you big beautiful man.
How are you going?
I'm so well.
How are you, my friend?
Going great.
You've got an update for us on the Miley-Liam Hemsworth breakup that has
taken the world by storm.
It has taken the world by storm.
This is up there with the Brad and Angelina split
for me. Here's the deal, right? Apparently
Miley was the one trying to
save the marriage. So she was the
one that instigated like group couple
therapy and they were going to see a counsellor and all that
thing. Apparently it was Liam
that just stopped putting in the hard yards,
stopped working at it.
And apparently he's the one that was kind of like, eh, blasé.
And we also found out that they actually split a few months ago
when our photo has now arisen from the dead,
as they always do in these situations,
where he had no wedding ring on back in June.
So it's been a minute.
And Miley is definitely dating Caitlin Carter,
the gorgeous, stunning ex of Brody
Jenner, who she would see making out with in Mexico. So she's moved on. She's like,
you know what? Okay, fine. I'm out. I'm moving on. And of course, Liam is in Australia with
Chris Hemsworth right now, looking mighty fine.
Yeah, he'll be at his brother's house in Byron Bay and they'll just be doing burpees. He'll
start crying about it and his brother will be like, all right, more recovery burpees,
bro. Let's go.
Isn't it rude that we all assumed that Miley was the reason for the breakup?
I did anyway.
I was like, oh, Miley, she can't be tamed.
She must be the reason that they broke up.
Yes, and I did as well.
And I figured out, I did some investigating.
Why did I think that it was her fault?
I'll tell you what, she was the child star growing up in the billionaire rich family.
Her godmother was Dolly Parton.
I felt like she would be the bratty one.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But I felt like she'd be the difficult one.
Yeah, shame on us.
Shame on us.
It's time for some personal reflection.
Also, Taylor Swift has finally explained everything.
There was that weird time where she was snapped getting moved around in and out of her apartment building in suitcases.
And she's explained everything to do with that.
Is that right?
Next level.
She, I saw a photo, video on a friend's phone of her getting out of a suitcase.
Yeah.
Let me explain.
Yeah.
Let me explain.
So here's what happened.
So when she went to that big Kim Kanye drama,
she was really getting packed, right?
It was like next level.
So she was sneaking in and out of buildings.
She's very flexible and she literally gets into a suitcase
and she has all these different suitcases
and that is how she travels. That's why you never see
her out in the wild. And my friend showed me
the video of her getting
out of a suitcase. Literally like one of those
Cirque du Soleil shows. But you know where they
climb out of a car or something?
Literally climbed out of a suitcase
that I see with my own eyes.
So clever way to get around.
But she's tall,
so I don't really know how she maneuvers all that.
I love that.
She's very flexible,
so that's how she's able to do it.
Also, great way to travel
because you can just go with someone else's luggage.
You know, it's much cheaper
just to pay for an extra bag.
Yeah, $35.
$35.
Bada bing, bada boom.
Your extra luggage, you're gone.
You're off to Hawaii.
Okay.
That is Dean McCarthy out of Hollywood
with the latest for us.
Bree and Clint, the podcast.
ZM.
I asked you before how many coffees can you have
before it physically becomes bad for your health.
Well, there's been a study done.
I think coffee must be one of the most studied substances in the world.
It says that there's a study every single week.
Like, is coffee good for you?
Is coffee bad for you?
Is coffee good for weight loss? Is coffee good for weight loss?
Is coffee bad for weight loss?
All of these things.
Well, this one just says,
it's trying to say
how many you can have a day
because it wildly varies.
Ben's a hot chocolate drinker,
so you're not allowed
an opinion on this.
I say two.
No, you're not allowed
an opinion.
My opinion always is a lot.
Hot chocolates,
have as many as you want.
Ellie, like me,
you require that hot bean water
to get your body moving each day.
Delicious, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Before I tell you how many you can have, how many do you have?
I generally only have one or I might have two.
Oh, man up.
Yeah, no, I'm a person.
Yeah, no.
Okay, this study, which has been done by, who's done it?
The University of South Australia.
So how many coffees can you have a day before it becomes bad for you?
Six.
Really?
Really?
Six coffees.
They've said due to the high amount of caffeine,
so I think you can have six and then after that, then it's bad.
Up until then though, sweet as.
Due to the high amount of caffeine triggering high blood pressure,
anything past that number
has the potential to increase
your risk of heart disease by 22%.
I'm going to come out and say
anything more than three,
my heart would physically explode.
Same.
Like I would be a jittery, crying mess.
My anxiety would be through the roof.
I would think people were staring at me
when they weren't staring at me.
Also, there's the other side effect of coffee,
which no one likes to talk about, but you know it's there.
You know the one that...
The other end?
No sleep?
No.
Well, yeah, but also the old...
Other end situation.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Who's got the digestive fibre inside them to visit that room six times a day?
Yeah, that's a good question.
You know, forget the toilet paper bill.
You would be raw.
But if you are sitting there at the moment
and you're on five coffees.
You should.
Yeah, well, no, no, this is science, Ben.
This is science.
This is not my opinion, okay?
If you've had five today and you've gone,
I'd love another coffee, but probably shouldn't.
No, you're sweet.
How many do you have, Clint?
Me? Three. Three a day. Right. Yeah. Every't. No, you're sweet. How many do you have, Clint? Me?
Three.
Three a day.
Right.
Yeah.
Every day.
Yeah, one in the morning, one with lunch,
and one before we start this show.
That's the only way I can get through this thing, honestly.
ZM Spree and Clint, the podcast.
Love Island.
How much does it cost to get the stars of Love Island to come to your party?
You know, you know Love Island.
That show you love to hate to love to your party. You know, you know Love Island. That show you love to hate to love
to hate. I mean, I don't
really watch it. It's not
my cup of tea. You've never heard of it.
I mean, I couldn't tell you the name of
every single cast member when they
were eliminated and who won the latest
season of Love Island. It's not my thing.
But I know that it is for some people.
Ah, yes. This is what happens
if you go on Love Island, is
you become an overnight celebrity, you end
up with millions of followers straight away
and all of a sudden
you are a business. You have the ability
to generate money from the everyday things.
Be it influencing, like someone might
pay you to wear their spray tan or their togs
or their hairspray or something like that.
But you also get paid appearance fees.
So you become a person
who gets money just to show up to things.
And that is a job for some people.
The Kardashians do it very well. They don't talk about it
too often, but they will appear at things
for money. I don't know so much Kim.
I think she's maybe top tier, but
some of the other ones.
Some of those introductory level Kardashians.
Kylie or... Not Kylie, mate. How many are there? She's premium. I don't know. What's the other ones. Some of those, you know, some of those introductory level Kardashians. Kylie or... Or not Kylie, mate.
Or how many are there?
She's probably the best.
She's premium.
I don't know.
What's the other one, Ben?
She's the most followed.
Oh, keep up with the play, Ben.
Keep up with the Kardashians, Ben.
But this is the reality for the Love Island contestants too.
And so the latest season, the UK ones, their price list has been released,
which is good business, you know?
Like, if people know the price, they're probably more likely to buy you. Because you know, you don't want to
have to guess how much they are. Isn't that a weird sentence?
Are they going to buy you? Yeah, yeah, yeah. So say
you're having a birthday party, and this is legit. If you're
having a birthday party, I think probably just in the UK.
Unless you're going to pay for their flights and stuff
too. If you're having a birthday party in the UK,
you can get the Love Island contestants for the
following prices. And sorry if you don't know
the names of them, but this will give you a ballpark idea.
I'll kind of explain who they are.
So Lucy, who people loved, very good looking,
eliminated about halfway through.
For her to come to your party,
she will charge you $3,000 an hour.
Ooh.
Yeah.
At that rate, you'd get one hot hour, right?
Yeah, probably.
All right, get in.
Lucy, here's your shooie. there's the photo wall, get in position,
and then at 59 minutes, you'd call her an Uber.
Because I reckon it's $3,000 as soon as the next hour starts.
And then everyone else at your party would leave.
Yeah.
Yawande wants five grand.
And again, I haven't seen the show, but I'm not paying five grand for Yawande.
Like, she was not even one of my top ten favourite contestants.
Yeah,
but I haven't watched it.
Michael,
okay,
Michael's the fireman,
very ripped.
Okay.
Very ripped.
He's two and a half thousand dollars
every 60 minutes
or a bonus deal,
three and a half grand
for two hours.
It's got a special price.
Plus,
for an extra five hundred dollars,
he'll ask you out and then he'll cheat
on you.
That's the Michael combo deal.
Round that up to five grand and
it's a good party.
He'll sleep in your bed or something. Is that a reference from
the show that you haven't watched?
Love Island, haven't seen it.
Definitely haven't seen it.
And then the top tier.
The top tier, the most expensive
Love Island contestants.
And again, if you haven't seen it, it shouldn't matter
because this just gives you an idea, okay?
Neither of these people won the show.
Keep that in mind.
Yeah.
Neither of them are the winner.
For Curtis and Tommy Fury,
so they're charging the same amount of money,
you're looking at $10,000.
Oh.
For them to attend your party.
Yeah.
I don't fully get it.
You don't get it?
Like I get the fandom a little bit,
but they were just on a TV show for eight weeks.
Like, chill out.
What are they going to bring to your party?
It's not One Direction, eh?
They can't get up and sing you happy birthday.
Exactly.
Yeah, I know.
But that's the thing.
Get in now.
Make your money while you can.
Very true.
Because in a year, there'll be another season and no one will pay.
No one will pay.
And I back them on this.
I say, good on you.
Here's a question for you.
I'm going to hypothetically give you $10,000.
I'm going to put it in your bank account.
You need to spend the whole amount on a celebrity guest for your party.
Okay?
It's your birthday.
It's your 21st or your 30th or your 40th, I don't care, okay?
You've got 10 grand and you can select any celebrity to show up to your party.
Who's that person?
Dead or alive?
Dead, what?
Okay, sure.
It's hypothetical.
Okay, if it's hypothetical, dead or alive.
Yeah, 0800 dial ZM or text us to 9696.
I actually have an inventory list too
and I'll tell you
if $10,000 is enough money
to get that person to your party.
Let's see what you got.
0800 dial ZM.
Brie and Clint,
the podcast.
ZM.
Join me in this hypothetical situation.
You've got $10,000
and you can buy any guest you want
to come to your birthday party.
It's been revealed
that that's how much you'll need
to get Tommy or Curtis from Love Island,
which is a lot of money
considering they just became famous straight away.
But also you can get cheaper ones too.
Like you can get Michael for two and a half grand.
He knows his value and he's doing it well.
But let's say you've got 10 grand.
You pick the celebrity
and I'm going to tell you whether you're being realistic.
Start with you, Producer Ben.
Who are you getting to come to your party? I'll probably get tell you whether you're being realistic. Start with you, Producer Ben. Who are you getting
to come to your party?
Probably get Craig David.
Craig David?
Absolutely.
$10,000.
You can get Craig David.
It's good money
while it's spent too.
Yes, because you get a DJ
at the same time.
Yep, $10,000.
How do you do with that party, Ben?
You're on.
Producer Ali,
who's coming to your party
for $10,000?
I feel like I'm going
a bit high here,
but pardon the pun,
Miley Cyrus.
No, no deal.
No deal?
No, Miley Cyrus. Miley Cyrus is not No, no deal? No, Miley Cyrus.
Miley Cyrus is not doing an appearance for $10,000.
Oh, she'd be so fun.
Let's see who else people are looking for.
Jenna's on the phone.
Hey, Jenna.
Hi.
Who do you want?
You can have anyone.
I've put $10,000 in your account.
Who are you approaching to come to your party?
He's definitely worth way more than $10,000,
but definitely Imaneem if I have the choice. Yeah, unfortunately. Unfortunately, you're right. He is worth more than $10,000, but definitely Eminem if I have the choice. Yeah, unfortunately
you're right, he is
worth more than $10,000. I've actually
got everybody's rate card. I've got access to this
file which tells me how much. I can't reveal
the exact number, but yeah, $10,000 you are not
getting Eminem. But good choice.
Good choice. Let's go
to Marcus. Hi Marcus.
Yeah, g'day. How are you? Good mate.
You've got $10,000. Who's coming to your
birthday party? Well, I'd go for
Dwayne The Rock Johnson. Ah, yeah.
No.
Marcus,
he's the highest paid movie star in the world
at the moment. He made $180 million
last year. You think he's going to shop for
$10,000? Oh, I don't know.
We'll have to try. I'll tell you what,
$10,000, you could get the Rock radio station
to your party, and
they'll bring a sausage sizzle as well.
Not necessarily a bad idea,
but I'm up to you. It's not exactly
the movie star. Dave,
actually, we'll come back to Dave.
Sian, you've got $10,000.
Hi. You've got $10,000, and who's coming
to your birthday party? Oh,
Jonathan Van Ness. Now we're talking, girl. Yes!10,000 and who's coming to your birthday party? Oh, Jonathan Van Ness.
Now we're talking, girl.
Yes.
See, pick a girl.
Pick a girl.
Pick a star.
That was totally unintentional, by the way.
Pick a person who's early in their career on the come up.
Plus, he's coming to the country too.
Just time it perfectly.
Yeah, you could get him for $10,000.
I like that.
Yeah.
Who do you want to come to your birthday party, Chrissy?
$10,000, who are we getting?
I would love to be all up in it,
but I know it's not possible with $10,000,
but I'd have to be Johnny Depp.
You say not possible,
but I reckon if you put on the right kind of liquid condiments,
that you might... I'll dress up as a perfect pirate for him.
You're going to dress up as a pirate for him?
Yeah.
Now it's definitely happening.
Oh, gosh.
He's on his way.
My birthday's in a couple of months, so.
We'll just run through a couple of the text message suggestions.
Shania Twain.
Oh, yeah, that's fun.
She lives in the South Island.
I think if it's local.
Durable, definitely durable. 10 grand she might pop in. Arnold Schwarzen. Oh, yeah. That's fun. She lives in the South Island. I think if it's local. Doable.
Definitely doable.
10 grand she might pop in.
Arnold Schwarzenegger.
No.
The Rock.
We've already done.
No.
Jimmy Barnes.
Yeah, you could Jimmy Barnes for 10 grand.
Yeah, he's a realistic party guest.
Post Malone.
Mm-hmm.
Nah.
Nah.
Prime Tiger Blood Charlie Sheen.
Yes.
If you got Charlie Sheen when he was on that bender
and he was talking about Tiger Blood.
He'll take anything.
He'll take it.
Ten grand, you'll get him three times over.
Absolutely.
Bill Murray.
Yeah, sure.
There's another one here.
Clinton Roberts, someone's texted in.
Are you worth more than 10K?
I say no to that.
You don't reckon I'd show up for 10 grand?
Yeah, I don't know if you've got a card
now. Yeah. 10 grand?
10 grand, I will
cater your party.
10 grand, I'll
make those little sausage rolls in the tiny bowl
of tomato sauce to go with it.
You've got a deal.
And finally, Dave, you've got $10,000.
Who are you getting to come to your birthday
party?
I'll go for the late, great Billy T. James.
Yeah, that's going to be tough. Failing that, I'll settle for the hot mess express.
Yeah.
Oh.
Like I said, 100%.
Party on.
We play for free.
But once a band Goes out of retirement
It's hard to
It's hard to come back
Nah not this band
Okay
ZM's Bree and Clint
The podcast
I know Bree here today
She is at the snow
Back tomorrow
So I need to actually ask
The producers this question
Is it still
I mean as the
I should know this
As the host of New Zealand's
Leading aviation and maritime
News based show
Yeah But I just Sometimes you've got to of New Zealand's leading aviation and maritime news-based show.
But sometimes you've got to check with your peers.
Is it still aviation news if it's ground-based?
Like if it's at the airport?
Yeah.
I'd say so, yeah. It is?
Anything within about 30 kilometres of a plane is aviation news.
Is it?
Yeah.
Right, okay.
Oh, well, I guess we have to do it then, right?
It should be reported, yeah.
Well, we have to play the audio sting just so people know that it's on.
And this is going out to Dunedin-based travellers, okay?
Congratulations.
You have the first full-body scanner being put in place
for domestic flights in the whole country.
Dunedin Airport.
They've decided that's the hot spot.
That's where we need to roll it out.
Interesting.
Those scanners where you walk in and you have to put your hands awkwardly over your need to roll it out. Interesting. So those scanners where you walk in
and you have to put your hands awkwardly over your head
to get it, you know the ones they have
at the international terminal?
Yeah.
And that thing goes,
and it spins around you and scans your whole body
and one, Dunedin is the first country to get there.
Which is kind of sad, I think.
I always thought there was a certain charm
about air travel in New Zealand
where you just show up.
Yeah.
Sometimes you don't even need to check in.
Like if you've got the app, you just walk up and go boop.
And then you literally walk out onto the runway.
You literally walk onto the frigging runway and you go,
there's my plane.
And you just climb on.
Now we're getting all fancy like other countries.
What next?
What next?
Do you have a metal detector?
Oh, no, that's too far.
I guess it is a metal detector.
Anyway, it's gone in there.
Which brings me to my next point,
and something I've always maintained,
especially since, remember Andy Murray,
the tennis player, had that X-ray
and you could see his Franken-beans?
Yeah.
I've always maintained that the people
who man that full-body X-ray machine
can see your tits and bits.
Yeah, can they?
Do you reckon?
That they would get a,
because they've got a screen that you can't see. And because you've seen when your bag goes through that scanner, you can see your tits and bits. Yeah, can they? Do you reckon? That they would get a, because they've got a screen that you can't see.
And because you've seen when your bag goes through that scanner,
you can see,
it's my favourite thing to look at
when you see the insides of your bag.
Yeah, it's interesting.
You can see inside your laptop,
all the computer parts and that.
If it works on that,
it must be able to see through your jeans.
That's why they've got it.
Yeah, true.
They've released a statement
for people who are nervous about this.
So they have said that the scanners
will feature a male or female gingerbread type figure.
So that's what will come up,
like a gingerbread recreation of a human being.
And on there, it will flash the danger zones.
So corresponding to where they saw it on your body.
So if they saw something in your front left pocket
on this gingerbread cartoon
there'd be a big marker there
and the security person
would know to go and
pat you on that
but yeah
so
that's what they say anyway
that's what they say
yeah
so they can't see specifics
that's what they say
right
yeah
they've also said
because I've always thought
what if you've got a piercing
down there
oh god
yeah
because do you have to show
if that goes off do you have to show them the piercing
to prove that, like, what's the metal thing in your pants?
They've said that only a large number of piercings will trigger.
Oh, okay.
Will trigger that part of the sensor.
I mean, you could still have a large number of piercings down there.
Yeah, true.
If you're just rocking one, at Dunedin Airport anyway,
with the full body scanners, you'll be okay.
And I guess that's aviation news for today.
Now you're informed.
Brie and Clint, the podcast, ZM.
Oh, my God.
I heard she bought all her followers.
She would.
She's such a bitch.
It's time for Brie and Clint's Insta-fame game.
Bit of fun, this.
You know, bit of fun.
Usually Brie and I have a go at guessing how many followers people have got on Instagram.
She's not here.
She's at the snow.
Still.
Lucky.
But back tomorrow.
So instead, I'm going to play against you, Rebecca.
Hi.
Hi.
How's your gram game?
Like, are you active?
Do you think you know the average followings of famous people?
I'm pretty active.
We'll see.
That's going to help you, I think.
If you beat me today, our wonderful show sponsor, Mobile,
will give you some free mobile fuel, okay?
Awesome.
It's first to three.
Producer Ellie has our celebrities.
Hello.
Hey, Rebecca, I'm going to come to you for your number
before I take Clint's, okay?
Okay.
All right.
Your first celebrity for the Instafame game,
how many Instagram followers does Christina Aguilera have?
Ew.
Why'd you pick Christina Aguilera?
I don't know.
I think Josephine told me to.
I don't know.
Like, has she done something?
Has she...
She was in the news for something, I think.
Okay.
All right.
Rebecca, what do you reckon?
6.2.
6.2.
Clint, you've got 7 million there.
Jeez, we're very close.
Yeah, Christina Aguilera has 6.1 million.
That's a point to Rebecca.
Well done, Rebecca.
Yeah, good start.
That was freakishly close.
Okay, who's next?
All right, your next one.
We've got Katy Perry.
Oh.
Going to court.
Yeah.
Also got New Music Hour.
Yeah.
Also going to court. Oh. All got new music out. Yeah. Yeah. Also going to court.
Oh.
All right, Rebecca, for Katy Perry, how many do you reckon?
38.
38 million?
Yep.
Yeah, okay.
No, 38 people, Ellie.
Okay, all right.
All right, and Clint's put 70 million.
Katy Perry has 84.2 million.
Yes!
Point to Clint.
All right. Why not? All right, what else you got? Who else you got? What's coming up? All right, one of the groups. million. Katy Perry has 84.2 million. Yes! Points to Clint. Alright.
What else you got? Who else you got? What's coming up?
Alright, one of the groups from Friday Jam's live line-up, it's the Black Eyed
Peas. How many do you reckon they've got?
Ah. Interesting.
Yeah. You never think
to go to the actual band's Instagram?
Yeah, yeah. I just spend most of my time on
Apple DApps.
There's no Instagram.
Okay, Rebecca, how many Black Eyed Peas do you reckon?
Ten.
Ten thousand?
Million.
Ten million?
All right.
Ellie.
Well, okay.
Wait till you see the answer.
Clint, you put four million.
Black Eyed Peas have 352,000.
Oh, damn.
Is that it?
Yeah, I know.
But that was a point to Clint.
Yeah.
Yeah, they don't have as many as you think.
They pre-date. Yeah, exactly.
They pre-date Instagram. Exactly. And then they
kind of haven't done much since Instagram.
Yeah. Except for, obviously, Friday
Jam's live. Exactly. Maybe it'll grow.
It should grow now. Yeah, yeah. Alright.
2-1, Rebecca. You need this, okay? You've got to take this
point. Yeah. Alright, your next
one. Just broken up with Miley Cyrus.
It's Liam Hemsworth.
Oh.
You know how Instagram does that thing
at the top and it tells you how many people have visited
your profile this week? Yes. Can you imagine
how many people must have gone to Liam
Hemsworth this week? Yes.
Now that he's single. Exactly. He's just released
a statement actually. Alright,
Rebecca, what do you reckon for Liam Hemsworth?
18 million. 18 million? Alright, and Clint, you've do you reckon for Liam Hemsworth? $18 million.
And Clint, you've put $30 million.
Liam Hemsworth has $13.6 million.
That's a point to Rebecca.
Nice work.
Good work, Rebecca.
Is that your tie break?
I bloody love a tie break.
Alright, Rebecca, look at me, alright?
Look at me. Pretend I'm me, alright? Look at me.
Pretend I'm inside your phone and look at me.
Okay. I want you to bring your A game, alright?
Yeah. I don't want you to go easy on me
because I'm not going to go easy on you, girl.
Alright? Let's do this.
I want your best
foot forward.
Here we go. What have you got, Ellie?
Let's get him, Rebecca. Come at us. Okay.
Your final one.
How many Instagram followers do the All Blacks have?
Oh, my favourite.
Oh, no.
I know.
I feel like I might have given Clint a leg up here by accident.
I didn't mean to, Rebecca.
No, I don't know.
Okay, all right.
Okay.
Rebecca, wild guess.
How many do you reckon for the All Blacks?
855,000. Okay, yeah, wild guess. How many do you reckon for the All Blacks? 855,000.
Okay, yeah, nice.
And Clint, he's put 1.1 million.
We're very close again, Rebecca.
That's very close.
And the All Blacks have 1.4 million,
which means Clint just won that.
Dang it.
I feel hollow.
This is a hollow victory.
One thing I don't know, sports.
Yeah, sorry, Rebecca.
I kind of screwed that up for you, didn't I?
It's like it was rigged in my favour.
Two points to three.
I reckon that's a good effort.
We're going to give you the fuel anyway, Rebecca.
Yeah.
Awesome.
Yay, thank you.
No worries.
No problems.
Thanks for playing.
That's the Instafame game, everybody.
ZM, Spree and Clint, the podcast.
I promised you a story that will scare you out of cleaning your ears,
which if you're like me, it's like an addiction.
Cleaning your ears, it's like it's my thing.
It feels really good.
Oh, my God.
It's just the most pleasurable thing that I can –
well, it's a sad scene of my life, I guess.
But you know what I mean?
Like once you start doing it too, like I went probably 15 years
never doing it.
Really?
Then once you start, oh baby, you can't stop.
This story might scare you out of ever sticking those cotton bud
things in your ear ever again.
An Australian woman has had a terrifying brush with death
after a cotton bud caused a bacterial infection
which ate through her skull.
Oh, yeah.
Yes.
So her name is Jasmine
and she was told that the fibres from the cotton bud,
so the little bits on the end of it that come off,
like little micro particles,
they had lodged inside her ear and over time they had become infected.
So that can happen to anybody, especially if you're using cheap cotton buds.
Like if tiny microscopic little bits are coming off each time
and then you're punishing those deeper and deeper into your ear
and then maybe you get a bit of moisture in there,
maybe you're a waxy person, I don't know.
It's built up over a five-year period.
And she went to the doctor because she was having ear pain.
And also she felt like her hearing was diminishing.
Oh, God.
And they said the skull bone behind the ear had become as thin as a piece of paper.
Wow.
Oh.
Oh, yeah.
She said they took a CT scan and they sat me down
He told me I needed surgery yesterday
The surgeon told Jasmine
That if she had waited any longer
To see a doctor
She'd be dead
From cleaning her ears with a freaking cotton bud
And they tell you not to do it
Yeah they do
Also this is a side note. Then don't
sell them. I got this story from
that magazine, That's Life.
Oh my gosh. You know that magazine with all the
quizzes and stuff in it? Yeah, but also the headlines
it's like, my sister is my brother.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Whoa. Yeah, yeah.
But by all accounts, it's been verified by other news
sources. It's a real story. Shit.
It's a real story. And it's that sort of thing that makes
me want to go, like, I need my hearing for my bloody job. Exactly. We all need our story. It's a real story. And it's that sort of thing that makes me want to go, I need my hearing
for my bloody job.
We all need our hearing.
But it'd be very hard to do this job if you couldn't hear anything.
Actually, no, it wouldn't.
It'd be fine.
I'd be by myself every day
and there'd be no feedback.
There'd be no callers anyway.
Well, not that you could hear.
Not that I could hear. You could put them on.
I wouldn't be listening to you.
The advice, this sounds stupid,
but the advice from the New Zealand health people
is you shouldn't put anything in your ear
smaller than your elbow.
That's actually what it says on their website.
Elbow's so big, though.
That's the point.
Basically, they're saying
don't put anything inside your ears.
Yeah.
I wonder if we could take some calls,
which might be a bit gross this afternoon,
but they could also be interesting.
What did you get stuck in your ear?
Oh, no.
You know, like what went in and you needed help to get it out?
Or maybe it didn't come in.
Yeah, right.
Maybe it's still in there.
Maybe it's like, and we're talking the creepy crawlies, like a centipede might go in there. Nah, that's... That'd be gross, right. Maybe it's still in there. Maybe it's like, and we're talking the creepy crawlies,
like a centipede might go in there.
Nah, that's.
That'd be gross, right?
I think ages ago my cousin got a bit of Lego stuck in his ear.
A Lego, yeah, yeah, like a Lego man, like a Lego man head might do it.
Because once it goes past that little bit.
It's it, mate.
Once it drops behind the, yeah, it goes down behind the ridge.
You don't want to push it in further when you're trying to go in it.
It's going to go deeper.
So, like I said, a little bit gross,
but we're going to open the phones and the text machine as well.
We want to know this afternoon on 0800 dial ZM or text us on 9696.
What got stuck inside your ear?
Anyway, she's cleaning her ear and
it's caused a bacterial infection
which has eaten a hole into the side of her
skull and if she didn't go to the doctor
when she did, she would have died.
Isn't that a kick in the ass?
That is like, that's one of the
stinkiest ways to die. Imagine you cark it
and then at your funeral, the priest is like
and of course she died from cleaning
her ears out.
You're meant to run some water into your ear and then massage your earlobe and then let it drain out.
That doesn't feel as good, does it?
So we're asking you this afternoon, what have you, bit gross, what have you got stuck inside your ear?
Welcome to the studio, Briony from the Zenim office.
Hi.
You or a family member?
Family member.
What did they get stuck in their ear?
A moth. A moth? Yeah. How? Okay family member? Family member. What did they get stuck in their ear? A moth.
A moth?
Yeah.
How?
Okay, so we were walking and it was actually funny.
I saw the whole thing happening.
Yeah.
So she was walking ahead of me.
It was my sister.
And I see it was one of those big fluffy ones.
Yeah.
And it was like flying around.
Yeah. And I was like, oh no.
Are you scared of moths?
Oh, I'm petrified of them because of this.
Okay.
And she like swiped it out of the way and then it went straight in her ear. And she's like, oh, no. Are you scared of moths? Oh, I'm petrified of them because of this. Okay. And she, like, swiped it out of the way,
and then it went straight in her ear,
and she's like, ah, like, screaming.
It'll be so loud.
Oh, apparently she said that,
or you could hear it was, like, fluttering.
Yeah.
It was just, like, fluttering.
Yeah, yeah.
Or the moths, like, whispering to her.
The moth in there was like,
I can hear your thoughts.
Yeah, yeah.
Get out, get out.
But she had to actually go to the doctor
and get, like, pliers in her ear, and they had to, like, drag it out, and apparently. But she had to actually go to the doctor and get it like pliers in her ear
and they had to like drag it out
and apparently it was like.
Yuck.
That is rough.
Someone texted and said,
a boy put bark in my ears
and after two trips to the doctor,
they found an earwig inside there as well.
That's not good.
Fair warning,
these might be a little bit gross.
Welcome to the show, Hotai.
Hey, guys.
You guys are awesome.
I'd like to say at the beginning, like listening to your guys' show,
Fact of the Day and everything.
Thank you so much.
I appreciate that.
And so do the people who do Fact of the Day, Fletchbourne and Megan.
Oh, yeah.
What did you get stuck in your ear?
It wasn't me.
It was my partner.
He actually got a wasp in his ear.
Oh, did it sting him on the inside?
Yeah, I think it stung him as well.
And his dad's allergic to, like, wasps and stuff.
So he couldn't help him at the time when he was around.
And he was, like, jumping around with his head tilted on the side,
trying to get it out, And it wasn't coming out.
And then they tried putting some water in it to swish it out.
And then eventually they got it out by getting some tweezers and his sister pulled it out.
So it got there in the end.
What a horrible situation for the dad to be in.
There's a wasp.
Yeah, definitely.
It's horrifying for him.
Yeah, exactly.
He's trying to keep his distance and everything.
I want to help you, but I'm deathly allergic to the thing that's inside you.
It's better that it dies inside your head than I get stung by it and I actually die.
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, that's shit.
That's just...
Rose, what got stuck in your ear?
Hey, it was actually my cousin.
She had a fly in her ear.
Oh, a fly.
Yeah, she was only about eight.
And she lived in Australia and it was really hot season,
so they were just about everywhere.
Yeah.
And simple as, it flew in and didn't come out again.
I reckon as a doctor you'd be quite concerned about a fly too
because they're so dirty.
Yeah, well, it...
It had just been on like a dog poo or something
and then it's gone inside your head.
Yeah, yeah.
Well, I actually ended up having her parents with tweezers, pliers,
like anything they could find, had her lying down on the couch.
Oh, and that'd be awful too.
It'd be like a game of Operation.
You'd pull out bit by bit.
You'd go, I've got a wing, I've got a leg.
Exactly.
50 points if you can get the body.
A couple more.
Hey, Matt.
How's it going?
What got stuck in your ear, man?
Unlike the last two calls, this actually happened to me and not somebody else.
I was about six years old and we had a kofi tree.
And I decided that I would try and do little things with the kofi seeds.
And I'd put it between my fingers and pop them and shoot them away
and then I'd stick one up my nose and shoot it out
and stick it in your mouth and shoot it out.
And I thought, I'll stick one in my ear and see if I can get rid of it.
Didn't work.
I love how you're bragging about this.
You're like, okay, excuse me, this is a first-hand story.
It's not better, Matt.
You stuck kofi seeds up your nose and in your ear.
I was a six-year-old experimenting and and yeah, after an hour at the hospital,
they finally got it out of my ear.
Yeah, right.
All right, well, I'm glad you're okay,
and I'm glad that you can hear me now.
There's a text message here that says,
I noticed my toddler wasn't listening to anyone at dinner,
and then I discovered that she had packed
both of her ears completely full of baked beans.
I scooped out what I could,
and I left the rest to dry up
and they just fell out eventually.
They said if it was my firstborn, we would have gone to A&E.
But we're much more laid back with child number four.
Last person's Karen.
Hey, Karen.
Hi, how are you?
Good.
What got stuck in your ears?
It was my husband.
He had itchy ears and he tried to get a few things.
Eventually, they took him to the hospital and they got it out.
It was the whole end of a cotton bud, the end of a big pen,
and it had all been compacted with the oil he'd tried to use to get it out with at home.
Are you kidding?
He's just sticking more and more stuff in there.
Well, yeah, he was.
And Karen, you married this man because Yeah I'm not sure
We did tell him that it was
He wasn't supposed to stick anything in his ear
And it provided a lot of entertainment
For us at the doctor surgery
And then at the hospital
Yeah right
Well don't buy him ear pods for Christmas okay
ZM Spree and Clint, the podcast.
It's my birthday.
It's my birthday.
Bree and Clint's Birthday Banger.
Welcome to Birthday Banger, where we take your birthday
and we put it into a computer that then tells us what was number one
on the day of your 16th birthday, and then we play the very best one.
Normally, Bree does the stats, but she's away today, back tomorrow.
So, Producer Ellie, you've got the information.
I've got it here.

How you going?
Good.
Okay, what's your birthday?
25th of June, 1981.
Okay, Sherida, you were 16 on the 25th of June, 97,
and on that day, this was number one.
Are you sniggering?
Maybe.
Were you a fan when you were 16?
Were you a handsome fan?
No.
I was a massive handsome fan from about,
I don't even know what age.
I was a lot younger than that, though.
And then there comes a point where you're like, oh, I hate this.
Okay, well, that's your birthday banger.
Let's go to Ella.

Word up, Goddamn Scoop, Crookley Clan, DJ Knuckles, K-Smooth Zed and Bree and Clint
that's the winner of birthday banger from Fat Man Scoop it's called Be Faithful ZM Bree and Clint.
That's the winner of Birthday Banger from Fat Man Scoop.
It's called Be Faithful.
He is the host of ZM's Friday Jams Live.
He hosted last year, and he did that song as well.
He did it at Friday Jams Live, which was sick.
So it's like he performs as well, which is so – it's not like he performs.
He performs.
There's a very key part of that song that the astute Fat Man Scoop fan would know
had been removed from that song.
Like there's a pretty like full on swear word part.
And normally you'd just like muffle it out.
I've just cut the whole bit out.
The whole part of the song's gone.
Oh, I was going to play a little bit of...
Yeah.
Tough loss, I think, for the handsome boys.
Yeah.
I've never come up in Birthday Banger before either.
Have they never come up in Birthday Banger?
I don't think so.
Have we ever played that Fat Man Scoop song in Birthday Banger?
No, that's the first time we've ever played it.
Okay, I don't feel so bad then.
They'll get a go.
This must have been number one for ages, right?
Yeah.
In a few weeks, yeah.
A few weeks, yeah.
It'll come up. It'll come up. Guys. A few weeks, yeah. It'll come up.
It'll come up. Guys, it'll come a time.
It'll come up.
Bree and Clint, the podcast.
ZM. I was Googling myself last night.
Cool, man. Yeah, I know.
Just for fun. No, no, no. For research purposes. Oh, okay.
And I stumbled upon one of the first
things that comes up when you Google yourself.
These days, Facebook comes up.
Yeah.
If you've got Instagram, your Instagram profile comes up.
Okay.
Also, very near the top of the search criteria is your LinkedIn profile.
Shit.
Now, we all know LinkedIn.
It's the social media that sucks.
Yeah, basically.
If you don't know, it's where you – it's like Facebook,
but you just
put stuff about your
work right
it's for business networking
basically right
it's for business networking
yeah
it's for finding jobs
yeah
um everybody has a LinkedIn
nobody knows how they got a LinkedIn
yeah
but everybody has a LinkedIn
um
and no one knows their login
nah
and I really need to figure mine out
because um
according to my LinkedIn page
this is quite good by the way
yeah
this is
like this this is actually probably this is quite a big deal according to my LinkedIn page, this is quite good by the way. This is like this
actually this is quite a big deal.
According to my LinkedIn page
I am the assistant
program director of nationwide
radio station The Edge. Dude
congratulations. I know.
That is huge. That is quite a
great job you've done. More to the point
I've been the assistant program
director of network radio station The Edge for about eight years.
Congratulations again.
That's a long run.
Not many people last that long in a job.
In LinkedIn world, there's nothing better than a job
that you can sustain for that long.
It's true, Ben.
It's true.
In reality, I haven't done that job since 2014.
But unless you update your LinkedIn profile
LinkedIn's not just going to assume
that you lost your job or that you left
or you got fired or something like that, right?
So according to LinkedIn, I'm still doing it
and it's my 14 year anniversary
with the company as well
Congratulations
But this is the thing, there's all these dead profiles out there
and so can more than one person have it?
The current assistant program director
of the Edge radio station
is probably not on LinkedIn
he's probably quite pissed off
that I'm claiming it
true
you don't even work here mate
you're at ZM
yeah
you left
yeah
you left us
and if I'm claiming it
it takes away from us
so I thought Ellie
as our social media manager
yes
maybe you could update
my LinkedIn profile.
I'll dictate to you.
Oh, that sounds fun.
Because I've actually had lots of jobs.
I've actually had lots of jobs since then too.
And this is advice for anyone at home too.
If you have a LinkedIn profile,
they want to know all the jobs,
not just the big ones.
Yeah, what have you done?
You've got to really flesh it out.
Well, if you could just take notes.
Okay, I'll take notes.
Obviously, you need to put down ZM dude.
Yep, ZM dude. ZM guy. Yep. So that's a big one. Before that, I was take notes. Of course, obviously you need to put down ZM Dude. Yep, ZM Dude.
ZM Guy.
Yep.
So that's a big one.
Before that, I was at the other radio station with Ben, George FM Guy.
Okay, yep.
And also, because I was there, that's a dance music radio station, DJ.
Oh, we can't forget that one.
Can you add DJ?
DJ, yep.
I'm sure you can, yep.
In some criteria as well.
I've DJed weddings, birthdays, bar mitzvahs.
I've even DJed a funeral.
Oh, wow.
Have you?
That's versatile.
Put it on the LinkedIn.
Put it on my LinkedIn. I'll put it on.
There's no more versatile DJ at the show.
Has Diplo DJed a funeral?
I don't think so.
Don't stop typing.
Okay, they've got more jobs.
Oh, sorry.
Yeah, my bad.
Can you put influencer?
Influencer, yeah.
Because I've got that cat food deal.
You do.
They mentioned influencer.
I've got the Friskies cat food deal.
So you've got to put that down.
Yeah.
Strip club MC.
Pardon?
Really?
Yeah, I used to MC at a strip club in downtown Auckland.
Oh.
Yeah.
Which one?
What's it called?
Show Girls.
Oh, okay.
You did.
I did.
I did.
Former host of Target, the television show,
Brooke Howard Smith got me a job there.
Maybe just put MC.
Yeah, yeah.
I'll just put MC.
Maybe don't put strip club MC.
And then can you also put,
I'm moving into this field now, Daddy Blogger.
Oh, Daddy Blogger.
Cool, man.
Now that I've got the baby, just add Daddy Blogger to my LinkedIn as well.
And that'll do.
That'll be up to date.
We'll do that, yeah.
So just hit submit and upload.
Done.
There you go.
It feels good.
I get a new job now.
See you, sweet butter.
ZM Spree and Clint
The podcast
Calling all nerds
Or computer people
Oh
Our computer doesn't sound too healthy
Oh that's our old computer
We've got to do that
Apple
You know the computer people
Are offering one million dollars
To someone who can hack them
I love this so much.
I love it too.
Interesting, eh?
It's like you're dangling this bait in front of these,
I imagine quite a community of people who operate under the cover of darkness quite a lot.
And Apple are dangling this carrot and going, or this Apple,
and saying, come on out, guys.
Come on out.
All in the name of making sure that they're more secure.
Love it.
I get it.
So the new iPhone, they've said, here it is is this is what we've made um try and get in see if you can
get in it's a win-win for apple because if someone hacks it they'd be like oh cool that's the issue
we'll solve it if someone doesn't everyone's like wow yeah that's wow it's impenetrable wow
so a couple of things you have to do it remotely so you have to do it from somewhere else you have
to get in from your computer you need to get into my phone which is my greatest fear that someone can
get into my phone and look at me through the camera like like what do you they there's not
talk about what they're seeing um they've had this deal apple have had this deal since 2016
it used to be two hundred thousand dollars they've just increased it to a million dollars
which is quite drastic and it makes me think that no one was taking the two hundred thousand
dollars seriously yeah like these hackers are like
if I want $200,000
I'll just hack North Korea
and take it out of their bank account
something like that
so it's a million dollars now
they've also extended it past the iPhone
they've said hack all of our things
they'd like you to hack the iPhone
the iWatch
and the Apple TV as well
they'd like you to try and get into all those things
it's not only Apple that's doing. They'd like you to try and get into all those things.
It's not only Apple that's doing it.
Google also want you to hack them.
Google have offered $30,000 if you can hack the Chrome browser.
Oh, yeah.
This is like boss dog stuff because they're like, yeah, we are so secure dog that we'll put our money on the line.
Yeah.
That sort of thing.
Here's my issue.
Yeah, go.
I've seen Mr. Robot. So i know what hackers are like okay what are you gonna do if you're a hacker and you find a flaw in the new
iphone are you gonna go and collect your million dollars no no you're gonna ring apple and you're
gonna put your voice changer on and you're gonna go i know i know how to get into the iPhone I want more Apple is a Apple is a
Billion dollar
No
Apple is a trillion dollar
Company
And they're only offering
One million dollars
I say screw them
I say if you get into the iPhone
It's time to up the stakes baby
Up the stakes
Just maybe don't call them off an iPhone
Because I'm pretty sure
They can figure out where you are
Yeah
You know
Play it safe out there, hackers.
