Is it fart related?
No, it's worse.
Poo related?
Yeah.
It's all right. I'm a dad now.

Not much scares me.
My baby did a poo in the bath while I was bathing her last night.

Torpedo.

How good is it?
How good is the euphoric feeling when you haven't done a poo for four days and then you do one?
Four days is a long time.

My flatmate.

Damn it.

For the podcast
I've been out on the podcast before.
Okay, no, no, no.
Congratulations.
We support you on your gay life.
We don't need to.
Excuse me.
Excuse me.
You of all people shouldn't be making those jokes.
No, you're true.
It's not a derogatory term.
No.
We're not naming anybody here,
but are you in a relationship with someone
if you would get upset if they hooked up with somebody else?
Yeah, that's a good question.
Does that make it a relationship?
That's a good question.
Do you guys think it does?
I reckon it's high time to have a talk.
Yeah.
Because someone is going to get hurt if you don't.
Very true.
What if one person says yes and the other person says no?
Then awkward.
Yeah, that is awkward.
Yeah.
But not the end of the world.
Not the end of the world.
Unless you've got on the table how you feel.
Not talking about anybody specifically, by the way. No. At all. Of course not. Good luck with that Not the end of the world At least you've got on the table How you feel Not talking about anybody Specifically by the way
No

Of course not
Good luck with that Ben
Thank you
Thank you
Thank you
Here's the podcast everyone
Let's wrap it up
Hey guys
How you going
Bree and Clint.
I'm doing bloody good.
We got sent free chips.
Free chips, how good.
How good are chips?
You've gone salt and vinegar over the chicken chips that I opened though.
I love salt and vinegar, but it does, if I eat too many, it takes the skin off my tongue.
Yeah, right?
If you've had a salt and vinegar chip, if you've got a small cut inside your mouth as well, game over.
Game over. Yeah, that hurts. Is salt and vinegar chip if you've got a small cut inside your mouth as well? Game over. Game over.
Yeah, that hurts.
Is salt and vinegar New Zealand's most dangerous chip?
Is that what we're...
It could be.
Yeah.
Mmm.
Be careful out there, New Zealand.
Save for communities together.
Today on the show, lots of fun stuff happening.
Maddie McLean from TVNZ1 Breakfast,
also a celebrity Treasure Islander,
is joining us in studio.
We're going to do something really awkward with him.
We're going to make him call Sam Wallace and ask if he hates him.
Because there's this underlying rivalry
between them. We want to get to the bottom of it.
Well, you've got the old TVNZ Weatherman
and the new TVNZ Weatherman
and then he tried to kick him off
Celebrity Treasure Island. There's lots of
tension there, so we're going to try and
cut through it. Forecast? Storms.
There you go, that's good weather reference.
Yeah, thank you.
Also on the show today,
just after five o'clock,
this is important.
There's a video that we've made
that is going ballistic
at the moment
involving one of your family members.
I believe the word is viral.
Yeah, that is the word.
I mean, it's only three o'clock.
I don't want to get too graphic
with the contents,
but it involves a family member,
a magic marker.
Peebs.
Oh, all right.
Sorry. I think you need to call your family member, a magic marker. Peebs. All right. Sorry.
I think you need to call your family member today
and let them know that there's a story about them on the internet
that's going mental.
It's been viewed half a million times.
She's going to hate me.
Half a million people know the story about her downstairs.
I kept her anonymous.
Yeah.
Well, we can keep her anonymous,
but she deserves to know that there's a video out there. Fine. Because what if people have put two and two together that it's her and they're like looking at her funny, you know? Yeah. Well, we can keep her anonymous, but she deserves to know that there's a video out there.
Fine.
Because what if people have put two and two together
that it's her and they're like looking at her funny?
You know?
Fine.
I'll call and come clean.
What if someone gives her a three pack of Vivids for Christmas
and everyone's just like...
Oh my God, I'm so doing that.
Next though, we want to talk allergies.
Have you got them?
Have you got them?
Have you got a fake allergy?
Yeah.
Have you got a cat allergy? Fake cat allergy. Have you got a fake allergy? Yeah, have you got a cat allergy?
Fake cat allergy.
Have you got a nut allergy?
Okay, well, they're real.
Have you got a prawn allergy?
Ooh, Producer Ben.
Yeah, welcome to the show.
Next, we're going to make Producer Ben eat prawns.
That's what we're going to do.
Bree and Clint, ZDM.
ZDM's Bree and Clint, the podcast.
Some news that's been out for a couple of weeks,
and I heard you guys talked about this when I was away,
is that new injection for cat allergies.
Oh, this is game changer for people like me
who are violently allergic to cats.
And you own two.
And own cats.
Because you're an idiot.
Yeah.
Well, have you seen them?
They're very cute.
You're allergic.
Good point.
It's an allergy immunisation that you get.
But the best thing about the cat allergy immunisation is you give it to the cat.
Oh, I didn't know that.
You immunise the cat against you.
And so then the cat doesn't produce the stuff that makes you allergic.
So you make the cat unallergic.
Unallergicable.
Hypoallergenic?
Yeah, I guess that's what you're doing.
Is that what you'd call it?
I mean, if you want to have more than one cat,
it is more than one injection.
And to be fair, you're only not allergic to that specific cat now.
But I mean, it's pretty good, right?
That is so buzzy.
Yeah.
That is so bizarre.
Which brought me to the thought of, have you ever,
like you know people who don't necessarily like cats?
So put yourself in the situation of, oh, you start dating someone.
Yeah.
And then you find out they've got a cat.
Oh, right, and you're not a cat person.
And you're not a cat person.
You don't like cats.
Yeah.
Has there ever been someone, actually I know there would have been someone,
who would have faked a cat allergy?
Now that's rough if they've already got the cat.
Like if you started dating them.
Well, you've got to pick.
Yeah, it's rough to give them the ultimatum.
Bed romantics with me or that cat?
Put a whole lot of groundwork into making them fall in love with you first
and then you go.
That's the plan.
Me or the cat.
Like you could go.
That's fine.
It's not that bad.
And then after however many months, once you've hooked them,
you then be like, I don't know if I can come around to your place anymore.
A little more realistic if you find out they're looking to get a cat,
then you might go, oh, no, and fake an allergy then
to prevent them from getting one.
Yeah.
That would be more practical because that way no cats have to be sacrificed.
Because I mean, yeah, true.
And we don't want that.
We don't want that.
But have you ever thought about, obviously there's so many different allergies in the
world and I feel like it's getting worse.
Gluten.
Yeah.
Gluten's a big one.
You know, gluten's a big one.
Dairy.
Dairy's a hot topic at the moment.
Yeah, dairy has been for a while.
Lactose intolerance.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I feel really bad.
Dairy's a trendy allergy is what I'm trying to say.
I feel real bad about a situation when I went to boarding school.
We were all in the boarding house.
There was like 100 of us girls and this new girl came into the boarding house.
Yeah.
And nuts went on lockdown.
There was no nuts allowed to be in the premise of the boarding house because this girl.
No nuts allowed in the girls' boarding house.
Literally, no nuts allowed.
Nut-free zone.
Yeah, it's a nut-free zone.
And it made us all real angry because we loved our nuts
in the girls' boarding house.
You were angry at the nut allergy girl because of her allergy.
So we all thought, because you know there's people,
and I feel really horrible about it now.
It wasn't so much me.
It was more than one of the ringleader boarding girls.
Sure, yeah.
But she was like, oh, how do we even know it's real?
I'm like pretty sure if it's a nut allergy.
They're the ones that are real bad.
Anyway, about two months later we had this like dinner dance thing
and the girl who was allergic to nuts has fallen over like off the back
of her chair and she was like choking because she'd eaten a satay sauce.
That's a fatal mistake for someone with a nut allergy.
Yes, and you see her dad rip this EpiPen out of this bag
and just jab her with this EpiPen.
And I've looked straight at the girl who was the ringleader of it
and I was like, what do you think now?
And she goes, yeah, she might be allergic.
Yeah, you think? She wasn't lying.
I was like, you think?
Side note, apparently getting jabbed with an EpiPen is one of the most wild rides you'll ever take.
Don't say that on the radio.
No, no, no, don't do it.
Like, I'm not saying go and do it.
Because then everyone else will take them and we'll never have a chance.
And they're really expensive.
And the green whistle.
And they expire.
Yeah, the green whistle's good.
Kick me in the shins so I can get the green whistle. That's the NOS pen, right's good. What do you want to do? Kick me in the shins so I can get the green whistle.
That's the NOS pin, right?
Yeah.
What do you want to do with allergies?
I want people to call up 0800-DIALS-ZM
and I don't think we're going to get anyone
because you might not want to admit it.
But have you ever faked an allergy for a particular reason?
Maybe you just don't like the herb so you say you're allergic.
Maybe you said you don't like cats.
Yeah, to get you away. Yeah. 0800-DIAL say you're allergic. Maybe you said you don't like cats. Yeah, to get your way.
Oh, $800 at him.
Or you can text us.
9-6-9-6.
What's the allergy that you may have faked at one point or another
because you just didn't like the thing?
Yeah, fake allergies.
I genuinely didn't think we'd get anybody for this.
You didn't think so?
No.
I feel like people are smarter than that.
Yeah.
They know if they say, I'm allergic.
No one's going to argue with you.
You can't force someone.
Yeah, you can't force someone.
Legally, you can't argue with it.
Can you at all?
People on the text machine, someone said, at school camp,
I told the teacher I was allergic to dish soap.
Dish soap?
Dish soap.
I'm allergic to that word.
So I got out of doing the dishes. Rissa, I can't use dish soap. Rissa, what Dish soap? I'm allergic to that word. So I got out of doing the dishes.
I can't use dish soap.
Dish soap.
The dish soap.
Someone else said, I faked hay fever on the daily at my last job
just so I could go to work baked every day.
Oh, my God.
Whoa.
And you're like, your eyes are all puffy and you're like,
it's the flowers.
And then you're like, oh, 4.20 knockoff time.
I'm allergic to weeds.
Hey, Jordan.
Hey.
What was the allergy that you faked?
I faked being allergic to marshmallows.
Why?
Why?
From about the age of five, I just hated them.
I think I had too many around a campfire one night, and that was it.
I just was repulsed by them.
But Jordan, who hates marshmallows?
No, but who's force-feeding you marshmallows?
Everyone was at the time.
It just seemed to be like this big thing.
Like at school, teachers would give out marshmallows.
Really?
Why didn't you just say no thank you?
It just didn't seem to work.
Everyone pressured me into putting them in my mouth
and they just, the texture and the flow. It's not me. It's not for me. I was going to have
my mind went somewhere else when she was talking about that. Sorry. I could see it in your
face the minute she said. The texture in my mouth. Let's just carry on. Let's carry on.
My mind's gone to the gutter. The rest of us adults will carry on. Hi, Olivia.
Hi, Olivia.
Hi.
What was the allergy that you faked?
I've never actually eaten it before,
but I've, for my entire life, said I'm allergic to seafood.
Seafood?
Yeah.
I just hate the look of it, the smell of it.
It freaks me out.
What about a piece of fish?
What about a piece of battered fish with your fish and chips?
No, never had it.
And never will.
Don't scare her.
But you're missing out on a life's great pleasure.
Yeah, I'm not a massive seafood person either.
Yeah, some of it, but a battered piece of fish.
Yeah, a fish I can do.
What about a filet-o-fish?
Oh, that's one of the best burgers at McDonald's.
Yeah, don't mind it.
Hi, Juliet.
Hi.
Juliet, what was your thing that you faked?
What allergy?
So I faked being allergic to grass.
You're allergic to grass?
Okay, and why?
Yes, to get out of cross country.
Genius.
Genius.
Anything sport related.
Very good.
Very good.
Take my hat off to you, Juliet.
God, I hated cross country too.
There will be kids out there listening right now, Juliet.
You've just, because then you can take it even further.
You can go, I'm allergic to chlorine, can't do swimming sports.
I'm allergic to pencils, can't do maths.
I swam through a dam once, Juliet, just to avoid half of the cross country.
Yeah.
Well, I used to just be the girl on the sideline taking scores.
Where are you from?
I swam straight through a dam.
Country Queensland, mate.
Straight up the hydro generator.
Mate, in Queensland, our cross country, we have to jump over cows and stuff.
I put a Clydesdale on the riverbank the day before,
and he trotted me off into the sunset.
Finally, Nellie.
Kia ora, Nellie.
Welcome to the show.
Hey, how's it going?
Good, thank you, mate.
What's the allergy that you faked?
I've been faking for years that I'm lactose intolerant.
Why is that?
Because I fart heaps, but it all started when I like...
Nelly, shut up.
...shat myself ages ago.
Shut up.
Wait, wait, this is the only that makes sense.
So you don't avoid lactose.
You intentionally have it
so you can drop your guts around people.
Yeah, basically.
Who would lie about that, Nelly?
This is all starting to make sense.
This is all starting to make sense.
Nelly, you and Bree are reading from the same textbook.
I definitely don't do that.
Whoa, Nelly.
Okay.
ZM's Bree and Clint, the podcast from iHeartRadio.
This is The Latest, live from LA with Dean McCarthy.
He's on the show with us.
Before we get into The Latest, Dean,
we've taken some inspiration from your personal Instagram account today
and we've done another classic side-by-side photo recreation.
Ben's recreations of my Sess Trap Instagram
photos are the highlight of my life. I'm going to
start doing them just to see Ben
recreate. If you've never seen it before,
Dean McCarthy is probably one of the best looking
humans you've ever seen in your life. He's in
great nick and a very ripped. He looks great
with his top off. Producer Ben
loves to do a side-by-side photo
where he recreates the amazing, glamorous photos Dean does.
And let's just say both great rigs.
Yeah, great rigs.
Both great men.
We've had to apply a bit of a tan to Ben's one, though.
Yeah, we put a good filter on it.
He wouldn't even notice.
Oh, good.
If you want to see and judge for yourself,
it's in our Instagram story at the moment.
Bree and Clint on Instagram.
Go have a little gander.
Dean, tell us about Taylor Swift's new house and her new boyfriend.
Oh, my goodness.
Well, actually, what's interesting is they've kind of been DL for three years,
her and her boyfriend, Joe Alwyn, who is an Oscar-nominated actor.
They are buying a $45 million house in London.
Now, here's the thing.
The reason you're probably going, wait a second,
didn't even know she had a boyfriend.
They've never done a public appearance together ever.
Even when he was in his film, The Favourite,
which was nominated for the Oscars this year,
she didn't go with him when she was up for the MTV billboards.
He never went with her.
They never do any public appearances,
but I can tell you they hang out a lot in London
and she'll often wear wigs to kind of when they go to the shops
and things like that to try and stay a bit incognito, yes.
And, of course, as you may know, she travels in suitcases.
Yeah.
That's how she gets in and out of buildings.
Do you reckon Taylor would be the big spoon or the little spoon?
I've never seen him.
Is he a big guy?
He's taller than her.
Yeah, he's not a big dude.
He's quite athletic. He's a good-looking dude, he's not a big dude. He's quite athletic.
He's a good-looking dude, actually.
I think she'd be...
Not like a super boss.
Seems like she'd be the big spoon.
Oh, do you think from, like, a pure, like, domination side of things?
Yeah, power woman.
She'd want to be the big spoon.
Yeah, I reckon.
So that he knew his place.
And just quickly, also, The Rock has gotten married.
Rock got married after 10 years of a relationship with his now wife,
I guess you could say.
In Hawaii, they both wore white.
Their gorgeous daughter was there.
You should see the Rock's daughter.
She's like the cutest thing you've ever seen.
She should be in those ads for the huggies and stuff.
Blue eyes, like gorgeous.
And they had obviously a very low-key, beautiful wedding.
It wasn't a celebrity wedding.
There weren't all these stars there.
It was very low-key in Hawaii.
So he's officially off the market.
Well, good to see The Rock finally tying the knot after, you know,
their relationship was a rocky start.
Yeah.
You know how he got her across the line?
How?
She was in as soon as she saw The Rock.
Oh.
No, it's good from us.
That was a tag team.
That was a tag team. Yeah, a tag team.
Not planned.
Is that a wrestling reference?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Tag team.
There we go. All right. Is that a wrestling reference? Yeah. Yeah. Tag team.
There we go.
All right.
Enough jokes from us.
Go and look at Dean McCarthy's thirst trap right now on our Bree and Clint Instagram.
Bree and Clint, the podcast.
ZM.
Producer Ellie's here.
Hello.
Hello.
Hello, Clint.
You're a father now.
I am.
How exciting.
What?
I know.
I didn't know about this.
I know. You really snuck up on me too.
One minute you're swinging it around all over the place.
Next minute you've got a bloody baby.
It's weird how these things happen.
Oh, I just got what you were swinging around.
I've been on Facebook and there was something that went viral.
It's one of these pages out of an old book from the 1950s
of how you're meant to feed
and treat a baby, like a newborn.
According to 1950s parenting techniques.
You hook them up to a feeder.
Like a horse, like a bag
that they put around their mouth. Oh, like a horse
bag feeder. Yeah, a horse bag feeder. Right.
I haven't got one of those. That's not how you do it.
It sounds like child abuse.
To be fair, Ellie, I'm desperate
for any advice I can give.
Yeah.
So I thought...
Even if it comes from the 1950s...
Maybe this will help.
How do you raise a baby?
Exactly.
Now, I want to let you know that...
I just want to see, are you doing these things?
Are you following the schedule, really?
Sure.
So 6am, feed, change, hold out, and leave to sleep again until 9am.
Hold out where?
So apparently a hold out means you feed them
and then you hold them over the toilet for a while.
Oh my God.
And see if they actually, and then put them back to bed again.
What the hell?
I know.
They didn't have disposable nappies back then.
And you had to wash all your nappies down the river.
I remember when my brother was born, my mum and that used the reusable nappies.
That's the environmental option.
No, I can say that we are not doing a feed and hold out.
Right.
No.
And does Tui sleep from 6 a.m. till 9 a.m. ever?
No.
No.
No, that doesn't happen either.
No, I didn't think so.
No.
Then at 9 a.m., drink of water for the baby.
Allow to kick on bed without clothes.
And in summer, give them a daily sunbath.
Sunbath. Sunbath?
Sunbath.
Yeah, so summertime.
Sunbath sounds delightful.
It does actually.
In fact, I'd like to take a nude sunbath with her when summer rolls around.
But no, a bit cold for a sunbath.
No.
And then for some reason at 9.30am, half an hour later, you give them another bath.
A normal bath.
Half an hour later.
Water bath.
Yeah, a bath.
Not a sunbath.
10am, feed, hold out. Not a sun bath. 10am,
feed,
hold out,
put outdoors to sleep.
What?
Nah, it's good.
I think Bill's character
put them out there.
The child
and they need to climatise.
I guess back then
all the houses
were a bit damp and mouldy.
Maybe they needed
some fresh air.
That's a good point.
it's a good chance
for them to bond
with wild animals.
No, not putting her out.
No, she hasn't slept outside ever. No, no. Tui is an indoor baby. No, fair enough. That's a good chance for them to bond with wild animals. Yeah. No, not putting her out. No, she hasn't slept outside ever.
No.
Tui is an indoor baby.
No, fair enough.
Oh, that's a bit strange.
Yeah.
She's an indoor baby.
At 1pm, drink of water, allow to kick and play,
and in winter, give a daily sun bath.
So in summer, it's at 9am, and in the winter, it's at 1pm.
Oh, yep, that makes sense.
Yep, for some reason.
Well, I'm at work, so let's just assume that Lucy is.
Lucy's giving.
Yeah. Let's assume Lucy's giving her a sun bath. Yeah, sense. Yep, for some reason. Well, I'm at work, so let's just assume that Lucy is giving her a sunbath.
Yeah, nice.
Yeah, go Lucy.
2pm, feed, hold out again, and then outing and mothering is in this,
and no one really knows what this means.
What is outing?
Outing and mothering.
Yeah.
I can't confirm what that is.
I'm guessing it means bonding time, really.
I reckon it's like taking them for an outing, isn't it?
Oh, that could be a good point.
Yeah, maybe.
It looks like that's a bonding time.
I think that's when the mums get in the next coffee group.
Maybe you're just outing the baby's sexuality in front of people.
Yeah.
That's definitely one of those.
I think that's where you hold the baby out over the toilet and you go,
You're straight.
Go ye.
That's it.
You're not.
Marsexual.
That's outing the baby.
That's outing the baby.
Glad we confirmed that.
And then at 4pm.
Every day.
Yeah, just changes.
Go ye.
Straight is my baby.
And then at 4pm, specifically, just a drink of orange juice.
No.
Yeah.
I don't know why.
5.30, a bath.
Again, there's a lot of baths happening here.
Yeah.
And then 6pm, feed, hold out, put in cot to sleep.
Lights out, windows open, door shut, no dummy.
No.
No?
No.
Okay, and then at 10 or 11pm, feed in darkened room, change, put down in cot to sleep until 6am.
Right, okay.
Does that happen ever?
No.
Sleeps from 11pm to 6pm.
No.
So I am not raising my baby correctly.
Well, I haven't had a baby because I was
listening to that going, sounds pretty good to me.
ZM Spree
and Clint, the podcast.
This next topic, sorry, gets me going. It's a hot button
topic. There is a,
it's semi-recent article
published by news website, the
spinoff.co.nz.
Great website.
It's actually, it's not an article, it's a listicle,
which I think is my favourite kind of news
because you can just go straight to the numbers that you need.
It's more an opinion piece though, isn't it?
It's definitely an opinion piece.
You've got to remember this is one person's opinion
being said from quite a large platform.
The article is power rankings of of New Zealand's Favourite Apples.
Now, look, this is a topic that is very, very close to my heart.
Grew up on an apple orchard.
My dad is an apple farmer.
And he is our resident apple expert and he joins us on the show right now.
Hello, Big Steve.
Hello.
Are you talking to us from your country Queensland apple farm?
I'm standing right next to a gala tree, yep.
Oh, you're the perfect man for this conversation.
You're the perfect person for this, Dad.
We thought what we would do is use you as an expert,
and we'll give you the top ten from this list,
and all we need from you, in your expert opinion,
good apple, bad apple.
That's what we want to know.
Is that apple a good apple or a bad apple?
It's a good apple.
It's a bad apple.
We're basically asking you how you like them apples, okay?
Okay, I can tell you that.
Dad, first, I just want to say, and I feel pretty upset by this,
but I just want to give an honourable mention to the Granny Smith
who did not even make it in the top 10 but was just outside in number 13.
How do you feel about that?
I think that's a blight on that report
because the Granny Smith is the only real green apple available.
Now, they're trying to bring in a few others that are hopeless,
actually really poor substitutes.
So that's a real indictment on that that are hopeless, actually really poor substitutes.
So that's a real indictment on that report.
Steve, I hate to interrupt you.
We do have a lot of apples to get through,
so we just need Granny Smith, good apple, bad apple. I found that real interesting, though.
Good apple.
He makes a good point.
But there's still 10 apples to go.
Yeah, true.
Granny Smith, good apple, bad apple.
We should just go top five.
Terrific.
Good apple.
Good apple.
Let's skip to top five.
Yeah, let's skip to number nine.
Pink Lady Dad came in at number nine.
Sensational apple.
Yep.
I can't believe.
It's an appetising name.
Yep.
Like the name conjures up juices in my mouth.
It's got a good tartness to it.
Pink Lady.
Okay.
Always has a good Christmas.
Number nine, Pink Lady, good apple.
Honourable mention also coming in at number seven, Dad,
was the Pacific Rose.
Average.
Average apple.
And that's a New Zealand variety, isn't it, Dad?
Yes.
That's a trans-Tasman bar.
Look out.
Oh, this is the one you and I got really fired up over.
This is controversial.
Number six.
Dad, I'm not happy about this.
Red Delicious. Oh, piss off, I'm not happy about this. Red Delicious.
Oh, piss off.
I agree.
Average apple.
Average apple.
I'd agree with you too.
You know what a Red Delicious is?
A Red Delicious is a free apple.
Like if you're doing a fun run and there's a bucket of apples at the end,
it's going to be a Red Delicious.
They're the ones they give out for free for kids at Countdown.
You know, they've got that free bucket of fruit. Is it that one that come in the big plastic sack of pre-packaged apples? They're really delicious. They're the ones they give out for free for kids at Countdown. You know, they've got that free bucket of fruit.
Is it that one that come in the big plastic sack of pre-packaged apples?
They're terrible.
I agree.
All right, cool.
Now we're into top five apples.
With our resident apple expert, Bree's father, Big Steve.
Who's an apple orchardist.
I know my dad and I know he loves this apple.
Top five, the Fuji.
Yeah, great apple.
Great apple.
I hate that apple. Is it Japanese? It's hard, yeah. Yeah, it's Japanese. Yeah, great apple. Great apple. I hate that apple.
Is it Japanese?
It's hard, yeah.
Yeah, it's Japanese.
Yeah, that makes sense.
It's a great sweet apple.
If you like a sweet apple, terrific.
Too sweet for my liking.
Okay, number four.
Okay.
The Royal Gala.
Yep, great apple.
Great apple.
I do love a Royal Gala.
I know we weren't going to go too much into detail.
What's the origins of a Royal Gala, Big Steve? It's Kiwi. It's a New Zealand variety. It's a Royal Gala apple. Do we weren't going to go too much into detail. What's the origins of a Royal Gala, Big Steve?
It's Kiwi.
It's a New Zealand variety.
Do you import them to Australia?
No, we grow enough here.
We stole them and now grow our own.
Fair enough.
So would we.
Dad, one of my personal favourites,
it's a late comer to the Apple family,
but I think one of the best on the scene at the moment,
number three, the Jazz.
Yeah, fantastic eating Apple.
Jazz Apple.
I think a travesty that the Jazz Apple wasn't number one.
I think an absolute rort.
The Jazz has changed the Apple game, in my opinion.
I would agree with you, mate.
This is top two now.
This is the business end of the Apple countdown.
Number two is the Eve apple.
Yeah, great eating
apple. Great apple. I've never
heard of an Eve apple and somehow it's the second
favourite apple in New Zealand. It's a red
Brayburn. Right, well. Well, that
brings us to the number one spot, which
I am absolutely
ropeable about. It's a Brayburn.
Yeah.
I wouldn't have it as a great apple.
Might as well be one anyway.
The number one apple, according to our apple expert,
the Braeburn is a bad apple.
They always said that about the Braeburn.
It's a bad apple, isn't it?
See, that's controversial.
That has sent shockwaves through the apple community.
Dentists, they're falling off their seats.
Doctors,
everyone of these days will keep him away.
He's all of a sudden going, well, don't have a
brain burn, otherwise you'll be in my office more often.
I don't know about
anyone else listening, but I found that
so interesting. So did I.
So did I.
I could talk about it for hours if you want.
I know you could, Dad. So could I.
Which leads us to our next topical and engaging conversation.
And we are going to do this.
Some say that six minutes on apples is too much, Sofa.
It's not too much.
It's not too much.
We will go for eight minutes if we have to.
0800 dial ZM.
What's the best apple?
Let's put this to rest, people.
We need to find out.
It's about time we stand up and we speak.
Share your thoughts.
Brie and Clint,
the podcast,
ZM.
They taught us this
at Radio School, Brie.
Ask the right questions
and the people
will flock towards
your radio show
and I believe we've done that
this afternoon.
This topic doesn't fall
too far from the tree,
my friend.
What is the greatest apple
of all time?
What is New Zealand's
favourite apple?
We've just had big apple expert Big Steve on the show
to give us his opinions on this article.
Yes, been a farmer for many years, my dad,
and he's commented on what was good and what was bad.
Top three on the top apples on the spin-off article
was coming in at number three, the Jazz.
Great apple. Coming in at number three, the Jazz. Great apple.
Coming in at number two, the Eve.
Okay apple.
Number one, the top, the best apple in this article's opinion, the Braeburn.
There's better apples out there than the Braeburn.
Oh, it's not number one.
That is like Australia winning the Rugby World Cup.
They're all right, but they don't deserve to be number one.
Okay. You know? So we're putting don't deserve to be number one. Okay.
You know?
So we're putting it out there to you, New Zealand.
What is the best apple?
And the people have come forward in their droves.
Mark, you're a Kiwi apple farmer.
Welcome to the show.
How you going, guys?
Mark, I believe you've actually met my dad before.
Top rooster.
I love that.
Apple men stick together.
Mark, what is the best apple in New Zealand?
Well, it depends what nation you're from, team, but I reckon the best apple In New Zealand Well Depends what nation
You're from team
But I reckon the Jazz
Apple you can't go
Too far from that
We agree
Or
It could be a little bit special
And go for Pacific Queen
Pacific Queen
I've only had the Pacific Rose
Pacific Queen sounds nice
Okay
So the Jazz
See
He's an apple farmer Mark
He knows what he's talking about
He knows
The Jazz got it going on
Juicy
Crunchy
Anna's here Hi Anna Hi What are you thinking Anna Tell us Apple Farmer, Mark. He knows what he's talking about. Jazz has got it going on. Juicy, crunchy.
Anna's here. Hi, Anna.
Hi. What are you thinking,
Anna? Tell us.
Well, from that list, I'd have to go with the jazz. Yes.
Otherwise, from my pod juice
experience, I'd have to go with a sweet tango.
Oh, a sweet tango. I don't
mind a sweet tango. I can't say I've ever
done a tango with the sweet tango.
But I'm open to it.
Another Kiwi variety, if I'm not mistaken.
Kabir is here.
Hi, Kabir.
Hi, Kabir.
Hello.
What are you thinking?
What's your favorite apple?
My favorite apple, the rocket apple.
What's a rocket apple?
Where are you calling from?
Out of space?
No, no, no.
So, they're like these small little apples.
They're sold extremely expensive.
They come in cubes of six and they're like cylinders.
Oh, I know these ones you're talking about.
They're over-packaged.
Yes, I know them.
No, I'm going to, I'm sorry.
Too much plastic.
Too much, too much.
They put them in the tubes.
They don't need to be in a tube.
And I hate to break it to you, but apples, they don't come like that.
And they've got their own protection on them already.
Let's rip through this.
Darcy, what is the best apple?
Granny Smith.
I will say Granny Smith's up there.
The Granny Smith deserved a higher ranking than place number 13.
I agree.
Like Big Steve said.
What a load of crap.
The only true green apple.
Yep.
Kate's here.
Hi, Kate.
Hey, guys. What are you adding to the list? Great. Yep. Kate's here. Hi, Kate. Hey, guys.
What are you adding to the list?
Greatest apple?
It's got to be the lemonade.
Oh, I love a lemonade apple.
Oh, I can't get enough of a juicy, juicy apple.
When I bite into a crunchy apple and the juice runs down my chin,
that's when I know I'm having a good time with an apple.
I haven't tried a lemonade.
Lemonade's a good apple.
Kiwi variety, I believe, as well, Kate, right?
Yeah, that's right.
God, we do our apples well.
That's why we sponsored Team New Zealand with apples that time.
Remember we put them on the sale.
Oh, well, we do them pretty good too.
I am from an Aussie apple farm, just remember that.
I do keep forgetting this.
And just finally, Matt is here.
Oh, this is big.
You have done a university study on the best apple in New Zealand.
So you've got science behind you for your results.
Yes, the NZ Rose
is the best apple.
According to the nation's opinion,
a sample...
Let's pretend you didn't say that and we'll give you a drumroll.
I was going to do a big build-up. Matt, you've done the research.
What is New Zealand's best apple?
NZ Rose
is New Zealand's favourite
apple.
Never had it.
Me neither.
Zid M Spree in Clint, the podcast.
Very interesting study coming out of Australia today about what is the main reason people are breaking up.
Right.
So what would your mind go to?
Cheating.
Exactly.
And they actually mentioned that,
and a lot of people think
that cheating is the main reason why
relationships break down.
Not according to this study though.
So undertaken by eHarmony
which is like a dating service
online.
Apparently showed that one
in four Australians
said the reason for their breakup
was that they undertook home renovations together.
Oh, my God.
Really?
One in four Australians that took this study.
So my wife Lucy and I have just survived.
I know, and that's why I'm bringing this to the table.
Just want to make sure.
Are you guys okay?
A full house of renovations.
I think we're okay.
I mean, shit, she's been a pretty stressful
six months when you go renovations
and baby. But I guess that's
the advantage of the baby. I knew she wasn't going to
leave. Because otherwise, who's going to help her with that baby?
Well, true. Right? You locked her in.
Maybe that's the only reason we stayed together.
Maybe it's like an anchor baby.
Yeah. Yeah. Could be. And
it's interesting because reading further details
about this,
it says that a lot of people said that it was the most challenging thing that their relationship faced was doing that together.
It's not fun, okay?
It's not like the block.
It's not like you're on there and you mash it out in 12 weeks.
I mean, even they look like they want to kill each other on that show,
but your whole life gets turned upside down
and it is like it's financial pressure and you've got to
make decisions together constantly. Well you know what I think it is too I think
when you think about it if you're living with a partner your home is like your sanctuary
it's where you spend a lot of time together it's where you escape it's where you have those
really nice moments together.
And if you make that a chaotic zone, then it also makes your relationship chaotic.
But if you can hang on until the end of it and your renovations go well.
Do you become stronger?
Yeah, and you have a great house to live in.
So it's worth doing.
We lived in a caravan.
Well, one of you at least will have a good house.
We lived in a caravan for a month.
Yeah, you guys did too. Well, yeah, if at least will have a good house. We lived in a caravan for a month. Yeah, you guys did too.
Yeah, well, if you break up too.
If you break up, at least you've increased the value of your property
so that when you sell it, you both come out of it richer, I guess.
Yeah, depending on who's got a better lawyer to give you more of the assets.
Yeah, if you've got a prenup in place.
Yeah, exactly.
So what did you say?
One in four people who embark on renovations together in Australia
end up breaking up.
Yes.
Wow.
And I wanted to put that to the test here in New Zealand.
I want to talk to people.
Have you been through a renovation that you and your partner
have done together?
And what happened?
Yeah, okay.
Maybe you broke up or maybe you're still together.
I just want to take calls from people who have done this with a partner.
Yeah, it's such a nice thing to do in theory.
We're going to do this thing together.
The benefits will be great.
You know what I think we'll get too?
I think we'll get more people who have broken up
who have done more of the DIY themselves.
Yep.
Hire the people.
Yeah, I think that's how our relationship survived.
We just paid other people to do all the jobs.
Exactly.
If she'd seen my finishing work on the painting,
she would have left me at the beginning.
0800 dial ZM.
Have you undertaken renovations with a partner before?
Bree and Clint, the podcast.
ZM.
Study out of Aussie Today says that one in four Australians
cited the reason for their breakup with their partner
was the decision to undertake home improvements together.
Renovations ruined your relationship.
They got between you and they got the better of you.
That's the three R's of DIY.
Renovations will ruin your relationship.
I can imagine it's super stressful.
Stressful financially, stressful creatively,
stressful for your lifestyle.
I mean, at the end of the day, I don't think you should break up.
You're doing something together.
Communication's the issue.
It could make you stronger.
It could make you a lot stronger.
There's a lot of people who are weighing in on this on the text machine.
Someone's texted in and they said,
we've finished a four-month renovation.
My husband is a builder and the only reason we survived
was that we weren't living together throughout the whole thing.
The kids and I moved out
and he stayed in the house
as a building site.
That is pure genius from you.
That's great.
And he'd love it too
because he'd be living
like a bachelor for four months.
You'd think he's building
the whole time.
He would have had the boys
around every night.
Let's talk to some people.
Hey, Anthony.
Hi, Anthony.
How are you going, team?
What happened to you?
Did you do this with a partner?
Yeah, we're still doing it.
We're four years into the reno and still going strong.
Four years into a renovation?
What, are you building a castle?
Well, we've both got full-time jobs,
so we've just got to try and situate it when we can.
Are you doing most of it yourself?
We're doing all of it ourselves.
God, so you guys are the real test.
You're actually doing it by yourself,
and it's gone for that long.
You guys must have a good relationship.
Yeah, absolutely.
We've been together for 13 years.
It's like a redneck block.
What's the redneck version of the block?
I love it.
Yeah, see, I'd watch that.
Hey, Inga.
Is it Inga?
Inga.
Hello.
Hi.
Hello.
How are you going?
Have you undertaken renovations with a partner before?
My life has been a renovation project for the last 30 years
and all I can say is Aussies need to harden up.
I feel breaking up over renovations, I need to harden up.
Yep, just have some concrete and just...
What do you mean 30 years?
You're obviously dating a builder, are you?
He is a builder and we have done several projects together and the only time basically
I've ever lived in a house that's been finished is just before it gets sold. Oh no, I don't
think I could do that. Yeah. You just have to not sweat the small stuff. Are you making
good money out of it though? Like are you guys loaded? God, I wish. But you know, it
helps you get ahead. We've done it all ourselves and, you know, you just get on with it.
I do really envy people like these guys.
Who can do it like that, yeah.
And I'm just like, oh, that's so hot.
I find it so attractive.
What, if you can build stuff?
When someone goes to me, if someone really wants to get me in the sweet spot,
they'll come up to me and they'll go, yeah, so I bought this house the other day.
It was a fixer-upper.
Did most of the work myself.
Was it?
And then I recently sold it for a profit.
And then they walk in wearing nothing but a tool belt.
Oh!
Last one's Marie.
Hi.
Hey, how you doing?
Marie, has this happened in your relationship,
been through a renovation together?
Yep, my husband and I bought a house.
He's a builder and I was the decorator,
very good at spending money.
And, yeah, we good at spending money.
And yeah, we were the dream team.
Okay.
And no problems at all?
Oh, no, I wouldn't say that there's definitely no problems.
I'd say there's definitely some ups and downs, but let's not forget that we're New Zealanders and not Australians.
And so therefore, that's probably why you're getting people ringing up and saying that
actually it did work for them because, I don't know, we're just New Zealanders.
Well, this is awkward, Marie.
Not really.
That's why I've come over here,
because I've hardened up,
so then I've come over here with you guys.
She's looking for a good Kiwi person to settle down with,
preferably one with a house.
ZM Spree and Clint, the podcast.
Oh, my God.
I heard she bought all her followers. She would. She's such a house. ZM's Brie 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 Brie and Clint's Insta Fame Game.
You know the game.
Producer Ellie gives us famous people from Instagram
and we have to guess how many followers they have.
Closest to that number takes the point.
First to three points wins the game.
That is correct.
Interestingly enough, an Aussie radio show has stolen this game this week.
Heard about this.
Yeah, and they actually asked if they could steal it.
Well, they did.
Very courteous.
Yeah, so it's like one of the top drive shows in Australia,
Kate, Tim and Marty.
Some people listening might have heard of it.
Apparently, you will hear this game on their show this week.
That is very unlike Australians to ask before they steal our stuff.
I know.
It's not the way it normally works.
Normally you just take it.
Is this your jacket actually?
Don't worry about it.
No, it's Lord's.
It's mine now.
Okay, give us our first celebrity, Ellie.
Okay, it's 12 all guys.
So this is going to put one of you in front.
The first celeb from Celebrity Treasure Island, it's Rosanna Arkell.
I was on her page today.
I'll bet you were.
I'll bet you were.
Is it her page or her bottoms page? It's her page.
Alright, for Rosy Arkell, Clint, you put
$3.2 million. Brie, you put
$4.7 million. Rosy Arkell
has $4.7 million.
Oh, got it!
Jeepers, right on the nose. Alright, million. Oh, got him! Jeepers.
Right on the nose.
Right, okay.
Okay, well, here's one for you, Clint.
How many Instagram...
Right on the something.
How many Instagram followers does Bowdoin Barrett have?
Oh, I love Bowdoin Barrett!
Can't wait for him to come to Auckland and play for the Blues, who I hate.
Bowdoin Barrett.
Can I only polish a turd so much? Okay, who I hate. Bowdoin Barrett. Can I only polish a turd so much?
Okay, for All Black, Bowdoin Barrett.
Clint, you've put $440,000.
Bree, you've put $555,000, yeah?
Yep.
Bowdoin Barrett has $447,000.
Clint, that was very close.
Nice.
I'm on there a bit.
Yeah, nice.
Okay, now your third one.
And you said it in a weird tone.
Ask me Dan Carter's.
I reckon I could get it spot on.
All right, your next one.
Newly married.
It's The Rock.
Dwayne The Rock Johnson.
How many followers does he have?
The mogul.
The highest paid movie star in the world at the moment.
Wow.
I look and he has a lot.
Okay, for Dwayne The Rock Johnson.
Clint, you've put $47 million.
Bree, you've put $148 million.
Way too big.
I think he has a lot.
That's Cristiano Ronaldo's status.
He's in every movie.
Yeah, okay.
The Rock has $154 million.
Oh, my God.
I knew it.
Crazy, eh?
Wow.
He's on everything.
He should just release his movies on his own Instagram.
He should.
Just do it on IGTV.
More people would watch it.
Okay, two-one.
All right, your next one.
Headlining Friday Jams Live 2019 is Janet Jackson.
Oh.
How many does she have?
That's a hard one.
Janet Jackson.
She's a Jackson.
Yeah, she's big.
But she's older.
She's older.
She predates Instagram.
Predates Instagram.
If we carbon date her and count the rings.
That's a hard one.
All right.
Papers up for Janet Jackson.
Clint, you've put $3 million.
Bree, you've put $4.1 million.
Janet Jackson has
$3.6 million, which means
poor...
And what did Bree put?
$4.1. Oh, Bree,
just, hey, that's $500,000
and it's $600,000.
Oh, that was close! That means the game's
to Bree!
Congratulations. Thank you, babe. That seems to fame game. That means the game's to Bree. Congratulations.
Thank you, babe.
That seems to fame game. That time I won something on this show.
New music out of Australia.
That's called Dance Monkey from an artist called Tones and I.
That's my all-time favourite song right now.
All-time right now?
Yeah.
The all-time right now favourite song.
Of all time? Yeah, love it. Of all the songs that have been your favourite right now, that's it? This is the Now. Yeah. So All Time Right Now, favourite song. Of all time.
Yeah, love it.
Of all the songs that have been your favourite right now, that's it.
This is the one.
Yeah.
And I actually have a theory about that artist.
Yep.
And I want to blow this case wide open.
She's coming out of Australia.
She's a new artist.
We've only just heard of her, right, Clint?
Yeah, I saw the video of her at Splendour. Or wrong. Okay. Have've only just heard of her, right, Clint? Yeah, I saw the video of her at Splendour.
Or wrong.
Okay.
Have we only just heard about her?
I have this theory because when we first heard her voice,
you and I both, we looked at each other and we were like...
Sounds so familiar.
She sounds so familiar.
And it does sound so familiar.
So what I've done, I've grabbed a bunch of artists
and you and I have discussed this.
We think that Tones and I, that new artist, that song there,
is actually four other artists that you've already heard before.
So should we take one quick listen to Tones and I?
Yeah, let's take a listen to her.
To see you dance just one more time
So they say, dance for me, dance for me, dance for me
Very distinctive vocal.
Very distinctive, very unique voice.
But correct me if I'm wrong,
but doesn't she sound like a little artist that we like to call Gin Wigmore?
I'm a bad woman to keep making men.
I believe you are not mistaken.
They bear a striking resemblance to one another.
I think you're about to blow this thing wide open.
Wide open.
So that's the first one.
Tones and I, or is it Jim Wiggum?
I don't know.
What about, I mean, she is deceased, or is she Amy Winehouse?
It's got the tone.
Yeah, I mean, it's slightly off,
but if you were trying to disguise yourself... You would do that, right?
You would change it up a little bit.
And now this is where it gets a little bit more, I mean, sketchy.
But I think this might be the most likeable one of them all.
Okay.
The most similar.
Is this Tones and I, the new artist from Australia,
or is it Elle King?
Elle King, daughter of Rob Schneider.
Exactly.
They had this one hit wonder, X's and O's.
Come on.
Or is that Gin Wigmore?
Or is that Gin Wiggle?
Or is that Gin Wigmore?
Or is that Gin Wigmore? Or is that Gin Wigmore? Or is that Gin Wigmore?
I think you're continuing to blow this thing wide open.
Last one.
In the case, and you and I have discussed this, Duffy.
Does the new artist, Tones and I... We're going back a bit now.
Sound.
No, you remember Duffy.
You remember this song. You got me begging you for mercy.
Why won't you release me?
You got me begging you for mercy.
Ah, Duffy.
I rest my case.
Or is that Elle King?
Or is that Gin Wigmore?
Or is that Amy Winehouse?
Or is it the new artist, Tones and I?
To see you dance just one more time. Winehouse. Or is it the new artist Tones and I?
Now I know what you're thinking, mate.
I've provided ample evidence and I'm pretty sure
we can say that this case
is put to rest. You think it's been
blown wide open? It has been until
I came across
I think,
the best comparison of them all.
And I found a New Zealand artist right out of New Zealand.
Yeah.
Right here in Auckland.
Yeah.
Who I think sounds the most like that new artist.
More than Jen.
More than Jen Wigmore.
More than Elle King.
More than Elle King.
Yeah.
I believe this Kiwi artist sounds the most like Tones and I.
Take a listen.
You're hot, then you're cold.
You're yes, then you're no.
You're in, then you're out.
You're up, then you're down.
You're wrong when it's...
No, I believe we have...
Case closed.
I knew there was going to be something inside there.
I knew.
You walked right into that one.
Yeah, well done, mate.
Case blown wide open.
I thought it was going to be you doing a bad Tones and I impersonation
and I was getting ready for that gag.
Nope, wrong again.
ZDM Spree and Clint, the podcast.
So, mate, last week on the show,
I told a story about a family member of mine
who ran into a bit of a problem with some grey hairs
in her downstairs region.
Mm, this story right here.
She got a black magic marker, decided to colour them in.
Anyway, they didn't go all home run,
but he decided he would round second to third.
So he's landed on third and he was at third for a while
and when he's come back up from third,
he had a moustache he didn't have before.
It was a bug.
So, look, it's the black magic marker moustache story.
It's now being known as because a video of us talking about that
was posted to our Facebook.
It's been viewed over half a million times.
Nearly 600,000 people have listened to this story
about my anonymous family member who's coloured in their grey downstairs hairs.
I feel like you need to tell them.
Like I feel like they need to be made aware of it.
I do feel bad.
I need to call that anonymous family member.
And we kept them anonymous.
And keep them anonymous now.
And we'll keep them anonymous now, but I need to call them.
Just tell them, right?
And break the news to them that over half a million people
know about their downstairs issue.
Okay, good luck.
Hello, D*** speaking.
Hello, family member, that I will not say their name.
Oh, Rana, how you doing, dog?
Good.
Clint's here as well.
Hi, Clint.
Hi.
How are you?
I'm really good.
I better just go out the back because I'm at work.
Hold on a second.
It'll only take a second, but I need to tell you something.
Oh, yes.
I've already heard what you did on your show.
Just so you know, we obviously haven't said your name,
so no one knows who you are.
You're anonymous.
You're right.
You're an anonymous family member.
I have some, I guess you'd call it news,
about the story where you personally got a black magic marker
and coloured in some certain hairs on your privates.
Can I say that's fantastic Aussie ingenuity, by the way?
That's top shelf stuff or bottom shelf stuff.
Is it a good memory or is it a?
It's a fun memory.
I wish I hadn't divulged to everybody.
I have one other question before I tell you this news.
Are you and the unnamed man still seeing each other?
No, we are not.
You and the moustached stranger?
Did you rather a man without a moustache?
Preferably, yes.
Right, right.
Lucky it wasn't a permanent.
Anyway, back to this news.
Unnamed family member of Bree's who is remaining completely anonymous.
We will not divulge their name.
I just wanted to tell you, obviously, that story that I told on the radio
to all of New Zealand, National Radio Show.
You know, it ends there, right?
The story ends and it doesn't live on forever.
Although our producer, Ellie, made it into a video and I just wanted to,
if we could have a drumroll, I just want to give you the numbers
of how many people have viewed me talking about your pubic region.
The number of views is 543,000.
Over half a million views.
You're a maniac. How do you feel?
Very, very embarrassed
and I'm going to kill you next time I see you.
No, well no one knows it's you.
You're famous. Yeah, you're famous. You're famous and
you're anonymously famous.
Just wanted to give you the call and
give you the good news. So are we
all good? You're not angry at me?
No, I will forgive you maybe one day.
Unnamed family member.
All right.
I'll see you at Christmas, Aunty Julie.
Catch you then.
No.
I am now going to kill you.

I think so. Definitely. It was massive. He's the one where he has the best Macklemore song. I think so.
Yeah.
It was massive.
He's the one where he has the R. Kelly diss in the middle of it.
Smells like R. Kelly's sheets.

Zinni and Bree and Clint.
Winner of Birthday Banger for Amanda, I believe.
It's cut and move.
Give it up.
That was a wild 90s.
Was it a 90s ride or 80s ride?
90s.
Mid-90s.
Beating out Eminem and Macklemore.
It's going to be tough for a Macklemore song to win
birthday banger for a few years yet, I think.
No, we've had a Macklemore song win.
Did we?
Yeah, the one about gay marriage.
Oh, yeah, that one's all right.
What's that song called again?
Same Love.
Same Love.
I love that song.
Same.
Zed-Em Spree and Clint, the podcast.
Yesterday we talked about undies.
The question was would you rather not shower for five days
or not change your undies for five days?
What did you go with again?
I said I wanted to change my underwear.
Every day?
Yes.
You have no showers?
Yes.
I said I'll ramp up the showers and run the same undies.
I'll use a wet wipe.
That wasn't one of the options.
You never said that.
Well, then I'll wet wipe my undies then.
Okay.
Oh.
It's beside the point.
It's beside the point.
There's a new company, a Kiwi company actually, called Wears, which are launching undies by
subscription.
Okay.
So you sign up to this thing and it bills you monthly, I think,
and they then send you fresh undies.
And you can then go put them in your own rotation.
And I guess the idea would be find the oldest pair and biff those ones.
Yes.
Get rid of those ones.
So you're constantly running a fresh rotation of knickers.
Yeah, because we talked about that study that was done,
I think it was earlier this year,
that said that you should be throwing out undies
every year. Every year, 12 months, yeah.
Definitely not the case for me.
Also, the article I read yesterday said that
after you wash your undies, they should go
in the dryer on a hot dryer for
30 minutes to kill the bacteria.
What? Yeah, if you want to really get them clean,
that's how you're meant to wash your undies.
Oh, I'm not doing that anymore. It's a lot of power.
It is. Also, there's probably only like two or three pairs of undies in each wash. That's not much're meant to wash your undies. Oh, I'm not doing that either. It's a lot of power. It is. Also, there's probably
only like two or three pairs of undies in each wash.
That's not much to put in the dryer.
Not for me. I'll just get them under the hair dryer
for a bit. Or microwave them. You've only got two or three
pairs of underwear in each wash? Yeah, I do
washing every second day.
Really? Yeah, well
I do my washing, my wife's washing,
the baby's washing. I've got a lot of washing to do.
No, but how often do you wash your clothes?
In there as well, yeah.
Every second day you wash clothes?
Just huck them all in together, yeah.
God, you are the modern day man, aren't you?
This underwear subscription, it's all right in theory if it works.
If they're undies that you like, that's the other bit.
It got me thinking though, what else do you want on subscription?
Like if you could have anything, so you pay once or you do a
direct debit and then it just shows up at your door.
What would make you happy? Like what's the
item and you hear the doorbell go and then you go
oh my thing must be here. Do you have one?
Yeah. Okay, let me, we'll
role play it, okay? Okay. So it's that time
of month. Yes. Where your delivery, that's a
wrong choice of words.
That is a good one though, tampons.
Your delivery arrives, yep. Tampon is a good one.. Tampons. Your delivery arrives. Yep.
Tampon is a good one.
Oh, tampon man's here.
No, what is it?
What's the item?
Okay, let's role play.
Oh, the weed man is here.
Weed?
I'm just joking.
I'm joking. You don't even smoke weed.
You're out.
I bet the weed smokers out there would appreciate that.
Yeah, you're out.
Let's go to producer Ellie.
Are you ready?
Your monthly delivery, your subscription service is here.
Don't say weeds.
Oh, it's my monthly oranges delivery.
Oh, how good.
Yeah.
I'm really buzzing on freshly squeezed orange juice every morning.
I just ran out of the last orange and perfect timing.
Exactly. Oh, my oranges are here last orange and perfect timing. Exactly.
Oh, my oranges are here.
They don't last a month.
No, that's a good point.
I need a weekly subscription
for that one.
We've got weed
and oranges.
Let's go to Ben's house
where Ben's,
our producer Ben's
monthly subscription
has just arrived.
Oh, aggressive doorbell.
Yeah.
Golf ball guys here
delivering weekly golf balls.
I always get them lost on the course every Saturday or Sunday.
Because you suck.
And then you go out for a game.
Oh, my T-shirt man is here.
Oh, that's lame.
Fresh T-shirts.
Do me again, do me again.
Okay, yeah.
Oh, my monthly porno's here.
Ellie?
There's my weed.
No.
Bree and Clint, the podcast.
ZM.
Ladies and gentlemen, all the way from Fiji,
Celebrity Treasure Island, it's Matty McLean.
I'm going to go out and say it.
New Zealand's favourite with a man.
Thank you so much.
Sorry, Dan Corbett.
Sorry, Sam Wallace.
Sam Wallace can suck it.
And you know why I love Matty McLean so much?
On the island, you just held your line and you said it how you thought it.
You know what I mean?
Everyone else is kind of like dancing around and you're like, nah, I'm not taking that shit today.
And to be fair, I'm the first to usually hold back and not go in on anything.
Oh, you did it in a nice way.
But I think you were saying probably what everyone is watching will be thinking.
I hope so.
Yeah.
One of my favorite things that you have said on the show so far
hasn't actually made it into an episode yet.
Yeah, it's my favourite.
It's in the promo, though.
It's become a New Zealand catchphrase already, I think.
You'll be familiar with...
I don't need to prove myself to Barbara Kendall.
And none of us do.
I don't.
None of us.
I don't.
Wind surfer or otherwise,
none of us need to prove ourselves
To Barbara Kendall
I did have a friend
Message me and be like
You know she's the
Three time Olympic medalist
Like maybe if you do
Need to prove yourself
To someone it's her
Well
Maybe
Although you've actually
Spawned a remix as well
This is amazing
Have you heard this
I've heard it
It's pretty great
This is the
Maddie McLean
Barbara Kendall remix
I don't need to prove myself
Barbara Kendall remix. I don't need to prove myself.
Barbara Kendall.
Barbara Kendall.
It's very good. I used to dance to that.
Barbara Kendall. That's a banger.
What a banger. They need to release that
for sure. And of course
off the back of last night's episode
Sam Wallace, the captain of Car Who, put you up for the elimination battle.
He couldn't get rid of her, get rid of you.
You beat Zach Guilford.
What are your feelings towards Sammy Wallace?
So here's the thing.
When I was on the show, knowing how much it meant to me, I made no secret of the fact that this was a dream come true.
To be on the show.
To be on Celebrity Ginger Island.
And Sam went, I don't give a shit.
I'm going to get you out first.
I just thought, well, screw you.
Pretty ruthless, hey?
Yeah.
Good, good.
Hold that thought because we've got an idea.
We thought, let's put you outside your comfort zone.
Let's put an end to this.
Let's get an answer for once and for all.
I hate conflict.
Let's call Sammy Wallace live on the radio and let's just ask him, do you hate me and why?
And put an end to it.
See what he says and finally draw a line in the sand.
Oh, okay.
This might mean the beginning of a new friendship.
Yeah, this might solve everything.
So just turn the volume all the way up on that phone.
Or it might not.
And when you're ready, you can hit dial to Sam Wallace.
Hey, what are you, OK?
What's going on?
Sorry.
I've got to go and do an interview later on,
and I just thought I'd give you a quick call
because I know that they're going to ask me
about why you put me up for elimination last night.
I just remember that bit where you said, I can't
wait to see the back of Maddie McLean. Yeah, I think that's taken out of context a little
bit. I think I wouldn't mind seeing the back of Maddie McLean. It's very funny that you
would take on that this morning. To be honest, I think, I think, I think that was more derived
from them baiting me than it was from genuine conflict. You know what I mean? So that's probably the only real reason.
Right.
So you don't hate me?
Of course I don't hate you, man.
After spending time with you, I think I might be more than I ever have.
And you start to realise how silly you are in weird ways, you know?
Yeah.
Hey, one more question.
What do you think of Brie and Clint?
What have they done?
Sorry, buddy.
They wanted me to clear the air between the two of us.
They thought this might be a nice little counselling session.
We love you, Sammy Wallace.
I love you, buddy.
And honestly, no hard feelings, all right?
I get it.
Someone had to go up.
I am going to kill you guys.
ZM Spree and Clint, the podcast.
Today.
It's aviation-based.
It's aviation-based.
Big news out of Virgin Airline.
They're offering anxious passengers the opportunity to self-identify.
So when you check in, you go, me, hello, hi, me, I don't really like flying.
And what it will do is it will put a special marker on your boarding pass.
And then as you board the plane, the hosties will go, oh, okay,
we've got a nervous flyer on board.
And they will make a point of coming to check on you throughout the flight
and see if you're going, okay, discreetly.
They'll sort of come and they'll go, hello, ma'am, are you okay?
Is everything all right? If the flight attendants weren't already doing enough i know right i know and you're sitting
there going no i'm not okay i'm what i'm sitting here in a tin can it's suspended in mid-air and
i'm absolutely terrified plus i feel like i'm breathing in other people's farts where do farts
go on an airplane you can't just wind down the window can you what happens to plane farts it's
true what happens to plane farts nobody knows they true. What happens to plane farts? Nobody knows. They circulate around the
cabin and you breathe them in
time after time. I believe actually they
have a system that sucks them in
and then converts that methane into a
fuel source, which they then use to heat your dinner.
No, that's
probably true too.
Look, I am a very nervous flyer.
I always have been for a long
time. I don't know if I would like this service or not.
Like, I think I would only like it if there was really bad turbulence.
You want someone to come over.
Yeah, but then I'd also be worried about if they were in the aisle.
They should be buckled in.
Exactly.
That's the time where you shouldn't be walking over to the passengers.
Well, let's simulate it, okay?
I'll be a nervous passenger.
Okay, and I'll be the flight attendant.
And you'll be the concerned hostie.
Is it turbulence or what is it?
Turbulence.
Turbulence.
Okay, cool.
We're on board the plane and I'm just going to request you.
Hello there, sir.
I believe you've marked down that you're a nervous flyer.
Terrified.
Terrified.
What's going on with the plane?
Why is it shaking so much?
Sir, it's completely normal.
It's just a little bit of turbulence at the moment.
Turbulence?
Why?
We are just encountering a few air bubbles in the air, which is completely normal.
There's nothing to worry about.
Air bubbles in the air?
Yes.
We're not underwater.
No, but there is sometimes air pockets in the sky.
Air pockets.
Air pockets, right.
You said air bubbles. It pockets, air pockets, right.
You said air bubbles.
And sometimes when it hits the aeroplane wings, it can cause a little bit of turbulence.
Right, well, I'm clearly very distressed, as you can tell by my good acting.
What are you going to do, flight attendant, to calm me down?
Well, I can offer you a few services.
Oh, hang on, the plane's disappeared.
No, we're back on the plane. Dropped out of the sky.
Yeah, we're back, we're back, yeah.
I can offer you a few services.
Yeah, what have you got?
Some warm milk.
No good, I'm lactose intolerant.
What about a fluffy toy?
No, terrified of teddy bears.
Would you like to come back into the back area of the plane with me?
Oh yeah?
I can provide a very good distraction.
Yeah, you know, I think I'm starting to feel a lot better, actually.
I'm just...
I can't get this bloody seatbelt off.
Oh, I've got to get this bloody seatbelt off.
Sorry, the offer's off the table.
It's a good system.
Yeah.
It's a good system.
I think it'll work.
I think you make a good air hostess as well.
Thank you, mate.
Air Bree.
This is a good friend of the show.
Where you'll not only catch a plane, you'll catch something else.
Brie and Clint, the podcast.
ZM.
Brie, I'm going to read you an extremely serious headline
from an extremely serious medical article.
Okay.
And because of the nature of it, the serious nature,
you're not allowed to laugh.
Okay?
In fact, we need a news intro for this just to for this just to give it the serious gravity that it requires. This is
a real headline.
Man's penis turning to bone. Oh, no laugh. Right, okay, that's good.
That made me feel weird. Like, I get the joke.
Yeah. Well, it's not a joke.
It's a true story. It's turning into a bone.
It's turning into a bone. His
penis is turning into a bone.
Uh. Well, no, bone.
Uh.
That sounds painful.
Sir, your penis is turning
into a bone. Uh. That sounds painful. A man your penis is turning into a bone. That sounds painful.
A man who reported to hospital with a sore knee
walked out and never came back
after the doctors told him his penis was turning to bone.
The 63-year-old suffered a fall hurting his buttocks and knee,
so they gave him an x-ray,
and they saw down the old member yeah it was going rock solid it's it's actually the the term is calcification
and the muscle in there is physically turning to bone they told him that and he disappeared he's
never come back it was too much information for him to process and he's just buggered off and
what do you do with that um Well, I don't know.
I think you'd have to have something done, otherwise it's just going to be,
it's going to go rock solid permanently.
And as fun as that might sound for a weekend, it's not sustainable long term.
Like, it changes the type of pants you can wear.
What about summer when it's short season?
How will you ever wear a pair of Speedos for a competitive swimming race ever again?
You know? Why would you be wearing those everos for a competitive swimming race ever again? You know?
Why would you be wearing those ever?
For a competitive spinning race, less friction.
But then if you've got a rock solid todger, that's going to
work. Although it might be like America's Cup, it might
work like a foil. Be a good rudder.
Yeah, be a good rudder. You'd be
a good body surfer, wouldn't you?
Very straight.
Yeah, you'd be just straight down the line.
Like I said, we're not laughing at this headline.
The case itself has a name.
It's called penile ossification.
And it is extremely rare with fewer than 40 reported cases in history.
Wow.
That's it. 40 people ever have ended up with
40 people ever
have ended up with
a penis
that has turned to bone.
That sounds painful.
