Starting point is 00:00:00 ZM! me? No, no, it's not that. I mean, right now, yes, but it's not your fault. Not my fault? I've kind of put myself on a bit of a diet. Well, I noticed because today we were sitting in the studio and I was like, what smells like farts? And you literally were like, oh, I think that's my lunch. Yeah, it was my lunch. I wasn't farting. It was broccoli and tuna. And we're not being funny when we say it smelt like. No, no. It 100% smelt like farts. That's legit. I thought someone had dropped their guts. Like if you need to make replica fart smells. Why? Boil some broccoli and then have tuna with it. So what? Tuna and broccoli? That was tuna and broccoli. Yeah. I'm trying. Have you ever heard of the keto diet? Oh God. Like I hadn't heard of it either, but I thought, oh, let's give it a go. Why are you going on that?
Starting point is 00:01:06 I don't know. You don't need to. No, but... You're like that gym junkie now. You're obsessed with the gym. I don't know much about it, but what I'm learning is it's not really a diet.
Starting point is 00:01:15 It's just not eating any carbs or any sugar. And God, I feel awful about this time of day. That's not a diet. That's hell. Put it this way. I went on it yesterday and I'll probably be off it tomorrow.
Starting point is 00:01:27 I can't believe that's what you're choosing to do. I know. Just come over to the dark side with me and just undo your pants on the regular. You know what may have influenced me to do it? Who? Last night, I went to New Zealand Fashion Week. I went to a fashion show. We were front row at a fashion week show.
Starting point is 00:01:44 Mate, here at the Brian Clint Show, you're beautiful to us. I went to a fashion show. We were front row at a Fashion Week show. Here at the Brian Clint Show, you're beautiful to us. You don't need to be a size whatever and ripped and fit. You're beautiful on the inside. So you're saying I'm not those things? Mate, you're all right. I do need to talk to you though because there was one thing I noticed at Fashion Week. A new trend, a new style. I've talked to talk to you though, because there was one thing I noticed at Fashion Week, a new trend, a new style. I've talked to you about this.
Starting point is 00:02:08 I saw this on your social media, mate. This is not a trend. Look, no, no, it is. It is. It's still on my Instagram too. I will tell you what it is next, because this is fresh. This is hot, okay?
Starting point is 00:02:19 This is not okay with me. If you want to be on the next biggest trend, trust me on this. Don't trust Clint. I'm telling you it is the worst thing you can possibly think of that has ever broken into the fashion world. I'm going to do it. I'm going to do it. Well, lucky you're already
Starting point is 00:02:33 married because you would not be getting a single date. I'll tell you what it is after Zed and Alicia Cara. This is Stay. Bree and Clint, it's four after four on ZM. ZM's Bree and Clint. Something that's on in Auckland at the moment that you may have no knowledge of or absolutely no care about
Starting point is 00:02:50 is New Zealand Fashion Week. Oh, fashion. Fashion. Oh, fashion. Fashion. You went last night. I did go, yeah. You're so fashion forward.
Starting point is 00:03:02 Well, my wife is. She is. Lucy is. She is. Lucy is. She's one of the most fashionable people I know. She's a beauty editor by trade and very stylish. There are people that make me realise how unfashionable I am whenever I see her. Really? I'm like, oh, that's right.
Starting point is 00:03:17 I have no style. But you can look to people like her to find inspiration, right? Yeah. Last night, I went as her plus one to a fashion show. You're so trendy. It was for the New Zealand clothing label Stolen Girlfriends Club. Oh, I like that label. Very rock and roll.
Starting point is 00:03:39 Very rock and roll. Very cutting edge. And this is what you've got to understand about a fashion show, is what you're seeing is for next season. So the stuff that's on the runway is not going to be worn right now. You're looking at what people will be wearing next year. I feel like I'm in the movie Zoolander. So did I.
Starting point is 00:03:56 So did I. There is one trend that emerged last night at this fashion show, and I wouldn't usually bring you fashion news, except that this is a scope, okay? I saw this on your Instagram and I'm not happy the hottest footwear item no for 2019 and I'm not making this up it's Crocs no no it's not it's Crocs that is a load of BS every model walking in the show last night was wearing Crocs. That's because they wanted you to look at the outfit, so they put ugly shoes on them.
Starting point is 00:04:27 I don't think they would do that. No one. I don't think they would risk their brand like that. Would Lucy, your wife, who is definitely fashion savvy, would she ever wear Crocs? Maybe after last night. No, she wouldn't. Maybe.
Starting point is 00:04:40 She would not. You don't know what they're going to do with them, though. They might do ones with a heel in them. That's worse. And they've already done that, by the way. Have they? know what they're going to do with them though. They might do ones with a heel in them. That's worse. And they've already done that, by the way. Have they? Yes, they've got that. Oh, they're ready.
Starting point is 00:04:49 The range is ready. Mate, Crocs are going out of business. No, no, no, no. No, this is legit too. They've closed 158 stores in the last year. I got a message from the marketing manager of Crocs New Zealand today after I put it up on my Instagram story, and she said, you're in the know, mate.
Starting point is 00:05:04 You know what's happening. Of course she's going to say that. She works for them. She's offered me a pair. She's also offered you a pair. No, I'm not wearing them. Any colour you like. Mate, I actually want to get, like, date someone in the future.
Starting point is 00:05:17 Yeah. You've already got a wife. I need to think about people actually wanting to find me attractive. This is what I'm telling you. I've found something that's cool. And you just don't know that it's cool yet. Last night, the Crocs they wore in the fashion show, they had a fur trim around them.
Starting point is 00:05:31 So they had like, where you slide your foot into the Croc mouth. Is that what you call it? The mouth of the Croc? Around the edges was all fur. I get sweaty feet, so those shoes are not for me. No, they're ventilated. I know, but it doesn't matter. They've got holes in them.
Starting point is 00:05:44 They're plastic. They've got holes in them. Mate, plastic. They've got holes in them. Mate, those shoes are like contraception. I'm going to wear them. I'm going to get – I've already ordered a pair for myself. Don't do that to yourself. No, no, I've done it. I've ordered them and I can get you a pair.
Starting point is 00:05:56 Mate, I'm on board for camo. I love the camouflage. I'm on board for that. I'm on board the cargo pants even. But Crocs, I will never be on board. Imagine a camouflage jacket, cargo pant, and then Crocs on the bottom. You would be, you would honestly,
Starting point is 00:06:11 you'd be like Cara Delevingne. Mate, you know who wears Crocs? Who? My uncle who's 73, and he also doesn't wear a shirt to most functions in public areas. I think you're on the wrong side of history here. I think, I think we go to a quick nationwide poll on the croc. Well, now all the croc fans are going to come out of the woodwork,
Starting point is 00:06:31 aren't they? Now that I've given you the hot scoop. Please help me, New Zealand. Straight from New Zealand Fashion Week, crocs are in. Would you wear them? Do you wear them? Are you going to wear them? Are you up for a croc?
Starting point is 00:06:43 Oh, $800. Or do you hate the crocs? You can put the haters in there too. Do you hate them? Are you going to wear them? Are you up for a croc? Oh, $800. Or do you hate the crocs? Do you hate them? Do you think they're contraception? Are you excited? Mate, you're never going to have kids because once Lucy, your wife, sees those, goodbye to
Starting point is 00:06:57 that stuff in the bedroom, mate. I don't think you can use a croc for that. Like I said, it's got holes in it. Okay, alright. Might be rubber, but... Oh my god. Let's see. it's got holes in it. Okay, all right. Might be rubber, but... Oh, my God. Let's see. Let's just see what the mood of the people is. 0800-DIAL-ZM.
Starting point is 00:07:11 On the croc. ZM's brain clip. Sorry, I'm just browsing pictures of fur crocs on my phone. What? You're making them worse. There you go. I found a pair. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:07:23 No. I'm just putting those ones up on my Instagram story now. Honestly. That's what I'm leaning towards. Honestly, though, you say that you saw them at Fashion Week and this and that. Yeah. Do you actually like them? I think they're cool, yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:36 No, you don't. That's a load of BS. You're just being full of crap for the radio. So if you've just joined us, last night I attended a very prestigious New Zealand Fashion Week where all New Zealand's most fashionable people are. I went to a show and every model
Starting point is 00:07:52 on the catwalk was wearing Crocs. I've been in touch with the people at Crocs who have said, mate, this year is the year of Crocs. High fashion Crocs.
Starting point is 00:08:01 There was, no, no, no, okay. There was a lady not walking in the show but sitting in the front row and I don't go to these things lady not walking in the show, but sitting in the front row. And I don't go to these things very often, but I know that if you're in the front row, you're the most fashionable people.
Starting point is 00:08:10 She was wearing Crocs. She probably worked for the fashion line and she had to wear them. I've just done a little bit of investigating. In the last 24 hours, the stock price of Crocs worldwide has gone up $1.50. Oh, don't pretend like you're someone who can read the stock market.
Starting point is 00:08:28 No one can read the stock market. I can't read that, but I can read the people. Mate, you know what else? I can read text from the text machine. There's a few coming through. Actually, these are all the text messages coming through. Crocs. Ban the Crocs.
Starting point is 00:08:40 So many shades of wrong. The holes in them are where your dignity leaks out. I can't even read that one out. Oh, come on. Crocs are disgusting. No one likes Crocs, so many shades of wrong. The holes in them are where your dignity leaks out. I can't even read that one out. Oh, come on. Crocs are disgusting. No one likes Crocs. Crocs are evil. Gross.
Starting point is 00:08:51 Crocs are awful. Oh, I'm not going to read this one out that says, let the people vote to get Bree to wear Crocs for a week. We're doing that. No, we're not. We're definitely doing that. I can't wear those for a week. Just listen to the people, okay?
Starting point is 00:09:02 Bronwyn, Crocs, you in? Yeah. No, definitely no. Yes, Bronwyn! You know, Bronwyn, you know I'm not talking about, like, the medical grade, like, green ones. The ones I saw last night were black with a brown fur trim. Yeah, I still don't think, I couldn't go there. I think they're so wide that when you put your feet in them,
Starting point is 00:09:25 that your feet just disappear. I mean, they're for Hobbit-like feet. They're for people with really wide feet. I do have a wide foot. So do I. What size are you? 10. You're a 10.
Starting point is 00:09:37 It's a big lady's foot. I'm a 10 women's. Yeah, and I'm a 12. These shoes were made for us. No, they weren't. I refuse to admit that. I'm not wearing Crocs. Katie, are you a Croxzilla?
Starting point is 00:09:49 No, not at all. They should have been banned years ago. You're not either. Yes, Katie. Exactly. With the fur, as you're trying to say, trying to glam them up, at the end of the day,
Starting point is 00:09:59 if you put makeup on a butthole, it's still a butthole. Okay. Katie is the caller of the week. Get that woman a prize. People said this probably about tearaways at the beginning too. They're like, those look like weird pants, but makeup on a butthole is a good call.
Starting point is 00:10:16 I can't deal with that. Dylan, Dylan, you're a man, and I know you like convenience, comfort, but also something a little bit cool to attract the ladies. Are you in for Crocs? Oh, bloody, I'm in for Crocs. Yeah, buddy. You're not helping this situation.
Starting point is 00:10:31 What do you think about... I don't care, Bree. I love Crocs. Why do you love them so much? Oh, they're just convenient, you know. They're comfy. They're easy to take on and easy to get off. Dylan, would you say you're fashion forward?
Starting point is 00:10:44 No. Dylan. I rest my case. Dylan, what do you think about fashion forward? No. Dylan. I rest my case. Dylan, what do you think about getting Brie to wear them for a week just to get her conditioned for it? Mate, she'd love them. I don't think so. I think once she gets used to them, she really would love them.
Starting point is 00:10:56 I don't think I would. Mate, she'd love them. Yeah, okay. One more. Gemma, what's your opinion on Crocs? It seems like I'm the only one that likes them. No, you and Dylan and me. Yeah. Do you wear them?
Starting point is 00:11:09 I'm wearing them right now actually. Yeah. What are you doing? Are you walking down High Street looking in the Gucci stores and stuff like that? I wish. What are you doing? Something really fashionable? Nah, I just got home from work. I work on a dairy farm, so. Do you wear them on the farm, Gemma? Um, not really on the farm, Gemma?
Starting point is 00:11:26 Not really on the farm. I'm a bit wet at the moment, but if it's fine, then yeah. Brie, you don't wear high-fashion shoes on a dairy farm, mate, okay? You save them for the evenings and the weekends. Mate, the only person that I know that wears Crocs is my dad, and he's an apple farmer. Wait, yeah? And how much do you respect him? Part of it is because of his footwear.
Starting point is 00:11:42 This is what we're doing. We've got a great idea out of this. My Crocs are on the way. I now have your size. You're a size 10. No, no. Your Crocs are being ordered right now. Mate.
Starting point is 00:11:51 When they arrive, you will spend next week in a Croc, Monday through Friday. I'm single. I've been dumped recently. I need you to build me up. I don't want to be brought down. What you're doing for yourself is not working. Let me take over. Let me use fashion to influence your life positively, okay?
Starting point is 00:12:06 Mate. We're doing it. No one's going to talk to me. ZDM's Bree and Clint. The poll is live, by the way. We've turned it into a poll. To make it fair, should Bree spend all of next week experience in Crocs 24-7? Please help me, New Zealand.
Starting point is 00:12:20 We need you to vote yes or no. It's on Bree and Clint on Instagram in our story. What if I have to go on a date? Yeah. Well, I'm not wearing those to a date. I'm telling you they're in. Anyway, there's also a couple of style options there too. Great.
Starting point is 00:12:32 Thanks so much, mate. All of them have fur on them, so you know they're all high fashion. So good. How crazy is this story out of West Auckland today about the egg farmer who's facing eight charges after allegedly selling millions of caged eggs as free-range. I hate it when these stories happen. Has this happened before? Yeah, it happened in New Zealand last year too.
Starting point is 00:12:55 Right. Because do you buy free-range eggs? So, I mean, I don't often buy eggs, but when I do, yes, and like this is just me being honest yeah sometimes yes sometimes no yeah when i have more money do you try to i guess i try to yeah and it's and it's hard they're way more expensive and that's why this story pisses me off so much because what if i'm spending extra money of mine because i want to do the right thing yeah and buy the free range and you're just giving some a-hole extra money to still have caged hens.
Starting point is 00:13:26 Exactly right. So apparently it's on a farm out in West Auckland and he was producing free range eggs as well as caged eggs. But what he was doing is that they believe allegedly he was selling the caged eggs as free range, all of them from September 2015 to October 2017. So millions, millions and millions of eggs. Yeah. So he was putting them in the free range cartons
Starting point is 00:13:54 and people were buying them as free range, paying more money. The weird thing about free range farmers though, is that, and I don't know this for a fact, but this is what I believe to be true. You can run like a battery hen farm, which is where you keep them all in the cages in the dark. Yeah, which is horrible.
Starting point is 00:14:09 It is horrible. And if you've ever seen any real footage, it's actually awful. You can run one of those and then have a small amount of free range chickens too. So your business can literally be a free range and a caged hen business. Right, which I think that's what this guy is.
Starting point is 00:14:23 And then the cheap eggs are just subsidising the expensive eggs and you're not actually helping anybody. I guess you're giving people a choice, but kind of against the point, right? If you buy free range eggs, you want to think that some farmer cares about the animals. Yeah, I guess, you know what? And there'll be people listening who are from farming families.
Starting point is 00:14:40 I'm from a farming family. Grew up on a farm. My dad's an apple farmer. We struggled our whole lives to make ends meet because the biggest supermarkets would pay us nothing. Yeah. And I get that, you know, farms struggle and it's a hard life. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:55 But you can't lie to people. No. That's something you just can't do. No. And please don't get it twisted that I'm suggesting that farmers don't care about their animals. No. That's not what I'm saying. No.
Starting point is 00:15:03 I'm saying there are some bad, excuse the pun, some bad eggs amongst the group who do crap like this. Yeah. Because that's the thing. When you go to the supermarket, and to be honest, I've thought this before when I'm buying the eggs and I'm paying more, I'm like, how do I know? You know, I do know there's one way that you can tell.
Starting point is 00:15:21 How? The SPCA endorse some brands. I don't know which ones they are, but some of the ones you'll find in the supermarket have an SPCA tick on them. And if they've got it, it'll be right on the front. And that's when the SPCA have gone to the farm, checked it out and gone, yeah, these guys are...
Starting point is 00:15:36 So they're doing the checking up on them? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Right, okay. So you'd like to think that you can trust them? Other than that, there is no way to tell. Some people go, oh, I can taste the difference. I don't know if you can. I mean, it's like back in the day, Ribena. Remember
Starting point is 00:15:48 when they got busted? The high school students tested all the stuff that Ribena used to say, you know, all the vitamin C and this and that, and they tested it. Turns out, it was a load of BS. Can you imagine how pissed off you would be if you were the head of the Ribena company? They've caught us! And two
Starting point is 00:16:03 pesky children. It'd be like a Scooby Doo episode. Like, I would have got company. They've caught us. And two pesky children. It'd be like a Scooby-Doo episode. Like, I would have got away with it if it wasn't for you pesky kids. That wascally wabbit. Bree and Clint. Oh, I wanted to say one more thing before we go. Cool to see that New Zealand, the major supermarkets, are all committed to phasing out the sale of caged eggs by 2027. Oh, there you go.
Starting point is 00:16:26 2027? I mean, they're doing... Jesus Christ. They're trying, mate. At least it's in the future. Not very hard. Zedian's Brie and Clint. It's my birthday.
Starting point is 00:16:35 It's my birthday. Brie and Clint's birthday banger. Have you ever thought to yourself, I wonder what the number one song on my 16th birthday was? Well, guess what? This segment, we find that out for you. This is how we find it out for you. We use a big, dusty old computer, feed your information into it,
Starting point is 00:16:50 and it spits out the information we need. It's actually a good time to reminisce on when you were 16 because usually you'll probably remember what song was big. We have as a special treat today, Soundkeeper Annabelle. Well, the artist formerly known as Soundkeeper Annabelle. She's now just Annabelle. She's just Annabelle to play birthday banger. So you're up first. What's your birthday?
Starting point is 00:17:09 7th of January 1998. Okay, Annabelle, you were 16 in 2014 on the 7th of January and back on that day, this was top of the charts. Because I'm happy. Clap along if you feel like a room without. How do you feel about that? Kind of describes how I've been feeling all day.
Starting point is 00:17:27 That's very true. That is very true. Okay, now you go up against some other people, which you're used to, actually. Juanita. Hello, Juanita. Hi, guys. How you going? Good. How are you?
Starting point is 00:17:40 Good, thanks. That's good. What's your birthday? 4th of June, 1985. Okay, Juanita, you were 16 in 2001 on the 4th of June, and top of the charts on that day was this. Juanita, you get Craig Davis. Last year's Friday Jams live headliner. How does that make you feel?
Starting point is 00:18:02 I'm actually going to Friday Jams this year. Yeah, you are. How appropriate. We have someone on our team who is a huge Craig David fan, producer Ben. You've been waiting for this day. How does that make you feel? So good.
Starting point is 00:18:15 Anytime we ever ask Ben, what do you want for your birthday, he goes, can we play Craig David on the show? That's what he wants. That's it. That's how much he loves this guy. Last up is Charlotte. Hi, Charlotte. Hi, Charlotte. Hi, guys. How's it going?'s how much he loves this guy. Last up is Charlotte. Hi, Charlotte. Hi, Charlotte.
Starting point is 00:18:26 Hi, guys. How's it going? Good. How are you? Good, thank you. What's your birthday, Charlotte? Fourth of the 11th, 93. Okay, Charlotte, you were 16 in 2009 on the 4th of November,
Starting point is 00:18:38 and this is your birthday banger. You get Brie's self-confessed doppelganger. Oh, that's good. Have you seen Brie before? Yeah, on her videos. Yeah, do you think she bears any resemblance to Kesha? I think so. Oh, you paused a bit long.
Starting point is 00:18:59 Thanks, Charlotte. And no, people have told me that. Yeah, cool. What are we playing? We have Annabelle's birthday banger, Happy. We have Juanita's birthday banger, Craig David. And we have Charlotte's birthday banger, Kesha. Don't mind all of them.
Starting point is 00:19:13 Don't mind all of them. Producer Ben, I wonder what he would like us to play. Ben, it's Annabelle's big day. Are we going to play Pharrell Happy? No, why would we do that when Craig David's on the table? I think we should play Happy for Pharrell. Annabelle. would we do that when Craig David's on the table? I think we should play happy for Pharrell. Annabelle. Don't do that.
Starting point is 00:19:27 What do you think we should play? She's had a success today. Yeah, but she wants to have her cake and eat it too, Ben. Yeah. The whole cake for her is out there already eaten. True. There is actually literally a cake out there for her. Mate, as if we're not going to play Craig David.
Starting point is 00:19:43 Yeah, you get Craig David today. Yeah, Annabelle's on board too. For you, Ben. Ben McDowell from Christchurch. This is for you, mate. From Lincoln High School. It's for you too, Juanita. Yay! Can I just say congratulations to Annabelle,
Starting point is 00:20:00 but I'm sorry, I had to take this one. Aw, nice work, Juanita. Nah, everyone wins today. It's good. All right, Bree and Clint, here's Birthday Banger. Zed him. I'm walking away. I'm walking away. I'm walking away.
Starting point is 00:20:15 Zed him. Bree and Clint. They're still winning at Birthday Banger. Craig David and Walking Away. That guy's such a legend. Have you met him? No, I haven't met him, no. Really lovely dude.
Starting point is 00:20:26 Oh, you've met him? Yeah, I met him last year because of the Friday Jams. How ripped is he as well, eh? He's so ripped. There's that rumour that went around that Craig David, the real one, actually died and a bodybuilder stepped in for him. Yeah. That's what the rumour is.
Starting point is 00:20:41 I love those rumours. There's one about Avril Lavigne that she's got a body. She died as well. She's got a body double. Ben McDowell, our producer from Christchurch. Yeah. How was that, mate? It was really good.
Starting point is 00:20:53 And if we could pull that music up even more, that'd be great too. All right, man. You get a little bit. Back in a second. Bree and Clint, ZM. ZM's Bree and Clint. Imagine this. You're on Tinder.
Starting point is 00:21:05 You're on Bumble. You meet someone. Uh-oh, sounds like I'm getting divorced. You meet someone. You think they're lovely. You meet up for a date. They order a bunch of food at the date at a really nice restaurant. They then take a phone call and you never see them again.
Starting point is 00:21:20 You're left with the bill. It's over $300. Ooh. That is exactly what has happened multiple times over in LA. They're calling him the cereal dine and dasher. It's a cereal dine and dasher. So that's his thing. That's his thing. So over a period of a couple of years, he would meet girls on dating websites. He would take them out and say he was a real big foodie and they go to a super nice restaurant. He would order through the roof a bunch of stuff and then he would dash. I always find this stuff interesting because what's his motivation? Is it free food or is it the humiliation of leaving someone in that situation? You know? Exactly right. Because if it's free food, I'd go,
Starting point is 00:22:00 oh, you're a bit of a dick. But if it's the humiliation when you go, oh my God, you're a psychopath. You're a bigger dick. Yeah. Like if it's the humiliation one, you go, oh, my God, you're a psychopath. You're a bigger dick, yeah. Like, what are you doing with your life? You've got mental problems. And they're saying that they reckon it's a bit of both. But it's interesting to see. He went on a date with this one woman.
Starting point is 00:22:16 Her name was Majoree. And we've grabbed some audio of the news report over in the States. She said when they met at BJ's in Pasadena, he ordered right away. She says after he scarfed down most of his meal, he got up. Left maybe like half a baked potato and then received a phone call and said, oh, I need to take this call.
Starting point is 00:22:37 Make sure they don't take the rest of my meal. But she says he never returned, leaving her with the bill. At BJ's. That's a nice restaurant. No, it's not. Yeah, it. At BJ's. That's a nice restaurant. No, it's not. Yeah, it is. BJ's.
Starting point is 00:22:49 Yeah, it's good. Really? Is it a real restaurant? Yeah. BJ's. Yeah, it's not bad. Anyway, apparently Gonzalez, that's his last name, he ordered two entrees, a chicken dish and four lobster tails
Starting point is 00:23:01 and then to round it out, he ordered a souffle. That's a red flag. If you're on a date and a man is chowing down that much, surely that's a warning sign. That's crazy. And he ordered the most expensive bottle of wine in the restaurant. Has he been caught? Yes, so they've actually caught up with him after a number of years.
Starting point is 00:23:20 The charges this guy is facing is crazy. So apparently the district attorney office said he's facing a number of charges, seven counts of extortion, two counts of attempted extortion and one count of grand theft. Whoa. So potentially he faces a maximum penalty of 13 years in prison. Whoa. That really escalated.
Starting point is 00:23:43 Didn't it? Imagine that. Imagine that. You're in prison and you're with your cellmate and you're like, what are you in for't it? Imagine that. Imagine that. You're in prison and you're with your cellmate and you're like, what are you in for, man? He's like, murder. Two murders. Whoa.
Starting point is 00:23:51 What are you in for? Dine and dash. Hey, multiple. What are you in for? Dine and dash. Left a chick with a big bill at BJ's. Don't mess with that guy. Yeah, he's not going to really fit in Has it ever happened to you?
Starting point is 00:24:09 Have you ever been in a date situation Where you've been left with the bill Either because the guy's boosted Or in their money or anything like that I always find it really awkward Especially yeah There's been a few times where I've been on a date And I can remember one particular time
Starting point is 00:24:23 I was with this guy And he wanted to pay and I'm not that person I think at the least I'm paying half I'm paying my half on the first date what even if he insists yeah I just feel like I get I get what you're saying I get what you're saying yeah and then he insisted more and eventually I said okay fine that that's really nice of you thank you yeah but I really like to pay for half of my meal. I think it's like, you know. That's nice. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:47 I really like to pay for all of it. Yeah. Which is nice as well. You and I on a date would be just a big argument. Can you imagine? Just end in a fight. End in a fist fight. Like, whoa, this really escalated.
Starting point is 00:24:57 Have you ever been left with the bill though? No. No. Have you? No. No, I've never been in that situation where I've. They've done a runner. No.
Starting point is 00:25:05 I'm just going to go to the bathroom. I mean, they never called me afterwards, but they've never left the actual restaurant. So technically you have. Yeah. I wonder if we can take calls on it this afternoon. Yes. 0800 dial ZM, or you can text 9696.
Starting point is 00:25:19 Have you ever been left with the bill? And we'll take the awkward situations too, where they say they've forgotten their wallet. Or their card declined. What about their pay hasn't gone through? Weird stuff like that. Yeah. When were you left holding the bill?
Starting point is 00:25:35 96. Oh, $800. Zee's Brinkland. The cereal dine and dasher. Over two years, a guy over in America found girls on dating websites, took them out to nice restaurants, ordered a bunch of food, and then he'd do the runner. Lift them with the bill.
Starting point is 00:25:52 The guy's going to prison. Well, he's facing a number of charges, which could mean he goes to prison for 13 years. That is full on. Because it's interesting to see, Clint, because here he's left dates with more than $1,400 worth of food and stuff and some of the restaurants actually covered the bill. Do you think he should go to prison, though?
Starting point is 00:26:11 Do I think what he did is scummish? Yes. Do I think he should be punished? Yeah, I do. Do you think he should go to prison for 13 years? Not for 13 years. I mean, that's a bit ridiculous. Pay the women back.
Starting point is 00:26:22 Yes. Yeah. Be banned from BJ's restaurant, which is where it happens. Do community service maybe. We want to know from you this afternoon, have you been left with the bill? What happened? Did they say they forgot their wallet? Maybe they didn't have any money in their account.
Starting point is 00:26:36 Joanna, did it happen to you? Yeah, but I actually got stuck with the bill before he arrived to the date. How? So he was a guy that I met on Tinder and we had arranged to go see a movie together on a Saturday night. How? just get the tickets and all of that. So he was like, okay, cool, that sounds good. And of course I wanted popcorn and ice cream for this. So I asked him if he wanted some as well and he said, yeah, sure. So I bought everything, got all the tickets, got all of the food
Starting point is 00:27:13 and then he just walked on in, grabbed all the food, we sat down, watched the movie and then sort of never really heard from him again. Do you think it was a tactic? Like, do you think it was intentional? Like he was in the car park waiting. Hard to tell, but it could have been. It's real hard to get a second
Starting point is 00:27:31 date when you cheap out on someone on the first date. Isn't it? The tone of the relationship going forward has been set and you're not on top. And it's even just the offer of oh, how much was it? I'll get you half. Let me get you something. Or I'll get you something. Let me transfer you something. Yeah. Or I'll get you something. Afterwards, let me transfer you some money or thanks for that.
Starting point is 00:27:47 Let me take you out next week. It's all on me. None of that? And that's what I was thinking. I was expecting that, but he didn't sort of mention it, but I thought, oh, well, we seem to be getting along. I'm sure there'll be a second date and I'm sure he'll get that one, but there was no second date. There was another date with another girl from Tinder and that's when he
Starting point is 00:28:03 went and saw Avengers Infinity War. He's seen every movie there is. It's only when he wants to see a film he goes on dates. Yeah, that's exactly what, yeah. Hi, April.
Starting point is 00:28:11 Hi there. Have you been left with the bill? In a way. So we have a group of friends and we quite often would go out for dinner together
Starting point is 00:28:18 and we would split the bill at the end. I mean, one night we decided to go out and I was the driver so no drinking for me. But the rest of the crew decided to work their way through the drinks menu.
Starting point is 00:28:29 We go to leave and it was $350 each. Okay. Holy hell. Here's the deal, April. Did you sober drive for the group? No, just for me and my husband. Oh, no. I was going to say,
Starting point is 00:28:42 if you sober drove for the group, then your meal's on the house. They split your whole meal across the group. That's what you're supposed to do. I know. I know. Well, you know what you should have been doing? You should have been ordering drinks
Starting point is 00:28:54 and tipping them into your handbag for later so you could get your money. Because that's a normal thing to do. I don't know. Annabelle's just down here tipping her things. Jared. Hey, mate. How youelle's just down here. Jared. Hey, mate. How you going?
Starting point is 00:29:07 Yeah, good, man. Were you left with the bill? Yeah, $1,400 worth of it. $1,400? What kind of dinner was it? No, it was a stag party, and we're at one bar, and then the guys moved on, and I had met somebody, and so I stayed back.
Starting point is 00:29:23 And then when I went to leave, I got caught at the door, and they said, hey, the bathtub hasn't been sorted. Rough. I was like, shut up. I am in the process of planning a very good mate stag do at the moment. And there's a lot of down payments to be made. Like you've got to pay for, we're going to stay on, like get accommodation, stay somewhere, buy the food and the drink.
Starting point is 00:29:41 You've kind of got to put that stuff up front and then hope that everyone pays you back. I'm real worried that I'm going to be like you, Jared, and I'm going to get left holding the bill at the end of it. It was more the, there's always like one guy who's supposed to be in charge, but he was pretty drunk by that point, and so he was leading the charge to the next bar, and yeah, that was real exciting.
Starting point is 00:29:59 Did they end up ever paying you back, Jared? Oh no, so what I did is I went around at three in the morning, oh no, I went about four in the morning, with one of those air horns, woke everyone up. Jesus, you're like a debt collector. You got your $1,400 worth. Finally, Bridget, you get left with the bill? Kind of. It was our first date with my husband and I,
Starting point is 00:30:19 and he did the kind of pat down at the end of the night. Oh, no. I haven't got my wallet. And I'm like, yeah, yeah, really funny joke. He was like, no, seriously. I haven't got my wallet. And I'm like, yeah, yeah, really funny joke. He was like, no, seriously, I haven't got my wallet. What do you like at doing with dishes? I'm like, oh, my God. So I didn't have my wallet.
Starting point is 00:30:33 I was a student. So he went out to the car and he luckily found it. But then when we went to get our engagement ring, he went to pay for the deposit with his checkbook and he had no checksques left. But I ended up paying for that too. Are you telling me you paid the deposit on your own engagement ring, Bridget?
Starting point is 00:30:51 And you still married him? Exactly. That's what he said. Well, you went in with your eyes wide open. He must be one hell of a guy because he is getting a free ride through life. You know what? I actually respect him for it. It's pretty good. Yeah, it's a pretty good story. Thanks, Bridget.
Starting point is 00:31:06 They're divorced now, so... Okay. Hock that ring. ZDM's brilliant club. Ladies of New Zealand, and actually right-thinking, feminist-leaning men of Aotearoa, be prepared to get pissed off
Starting point is 00:31:19 at the most unfair double standard you'll hear this week. It's a big story that's been sweeping the world. So the US Tennis Open is on at the moment. And I love the tennis. It's great to watch. Have you been? I've been to the Aussie Open.
Starting point is 00:31:34 Have you ever seen Serena? I've seen Serena. I've interviewed her. Really? Yes. And it was honestly one of the best moments of my life. She's one of my favourite athletes. She's incredible.
Starting point is 00:31:43 She's phenomenal. I'd love to see her. So she's playing at this tournament too. One of the best athletes of all time. This is not about her though. It's about another tennis player, another women's tennis player by the name of,
Starting point is 00:31:52 she's French, so I'm going to attempt this, Alizé Cornet. Okay. I think. One of the top tennis players. Obviously. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:00 She's playing in the US Open. It's so hot over there at the moment that in the middle of the games they're having to take a 10-minute break where they all go back into the stands and just cool down because they're actually worried that the players are going to... Pass out. Yeah, pass out, overheat and cark it.
Starting point is 00:32:13 So anyway, she goes in for a 10-minute break and when you do that, and especially when it's that hot in tennis, you have the chance to change your T-shirt because it's a very sweaty game. And you see a lot of the time in the men's games, like people like Nadal, he changes his t-shirt a lot. Yes, he does.
Starting point is 00:32:29 On the court. Yeah, all the time. So she didn't do that. She did it under the stands, came back out after the 10-minute break. You've got to get straight back into the game and they're quite pedantic about that. She had her t-shirt on backwards. Because she was in a rush.
Starting point is 00:32:42 Because she's in a rush or she's fatigued or whatever it is. So they're just about to start and she goes, oh no, my t-shirt's on backwards because she was in a rush because she's in a rush or she's fatigued or whatever it is so they're just about to start and she goes oh no my t-shirt's on backwards so she was walking out to the court right yeah she was back on the court right she was on the court so everyone's there she whips her t-shirt off turns it around and puts it back on had a sports bra on you'd think no big deal right it's caused an uproar. She was penalised. Was she penalised? Yeah. Fined. Oh my God, I feel like I'm going to get so enraged right now.
Starting point is 00:33:12 She was fined. And given a warning, yeah. I need to contain myself. I'm on the radio. I mean, come on. Novak Djokovic can change his Uniqlo t-shirt in the middle of the court and you can see his hairy little nipples. I've seen it a million times.
Starting point is 00:33:30 Nadal does it all the time. She took off her top, Alize, and like I said, had a sports bra on. And this sports bra is like the kind of top you would wear to like a gym class. You know, you wear leggings and a sports bra. It was like that. She's very covered. To be honest, a lot more covering than a bik class. You know, you wear leggings and a sports bra. It was like that. She's very covered.
Starting point is 00:33:45 To be honest, a lot more covering than a bikini. Yes. A hell of a lot more coverage. A lot more coverage. Yeah. And to be honest, oh my God. The world has gone apeshit for her, for this situation. The same tournament, actually, at the same US Open.
Starting point is 00:33:57 They've been coming to her aid, right? Yeah, yeah, on her side. Yeah. This is the same one that said to Serena that she wasn't allowed. You might have seen that catsuit that she had yeah she was playing in that it was
Starting point is 00:34:07 she said it was Black Panther inspired she wanted to wear it as her comeback kind of outfit I heard it was more than that I heard it was special compression outfit that meant she wasn't going to get a blood clot after
Starting point is 00:34:16 giving birth because she suffers from those yeah yeah yeah yeah they told her she wasn't allowed to wear it so what did she do she came out in a tutu which I thought was very well played.
Starting point is 00:34:25 Stick it to them, Serena. Anyway, there is a happy ending to this story. Is there? Yeah. What's happened? The US Open have apologised. Yeah, because now they're tails between their legs and they're running for cover.
Starting point is 00:34:37 They've withdrawn the fine and they've changed the rules. How much was the fine? So get ready to see some boobies in tennis. No, I don't know. Zee's Brie and Clint. Once upon a time, there was a girl. She was smart, debatable, talented, athletic.
Starting point is 00:35:00 Not really. Picking a movie based on just the plot line? That she can do. Brie and Clint's What The Plot. A very simple game where you go head to head with Brie to see who can guess a movie just off the plot. It's me versus the people. And I'm seven from O.
Starting point is 00:35:23 Yeah, this is the game that you're good at. Insta fame game, not so much. This is where you're in your element. We have not had a game where you've been defeated yet. The rules are very simple. I begin reading a movie plot. The first person who thinks they know it is welcome to buzz in using their name.
Starting point is 00:35:40 Okay? I will stop. You give it a go. The game is best of three. Let's meet your first victim. Renee. Hello, Renee. Hi. Are you the person to get us off to a cracker start this time?
Starting point is 00:35:53 Hopefully. I like how they always sound so nervous. Yeah. I'm nervous too, Renee. Here we go. First movie. Your buzzer is your name, Renee. I just need you to yell it out when you know it.
Starting point is 00:36:04 Okay. Movie number one. Five years, eight months, 12 days and counting. That's how long Devi has been devising the biggest heist of her life. She knows what it's going to take. A team of the best people in the field. Starting with her partner in crime, Lou. Brie?
Starting point is 00:36:25 Brie. Mmm. in the field, starting with her partner in crime, Lou. Bree? Bree. It's not that, but I'll say, is it Oceans 8? Oceans 8 is correct. Yes! Sorry, Renee, it's not your day. Sorry, Renee. Okay, next up, Steve Hey Steve
Starting point is 00:36:46 Hi Steve Hello Now you've joined the show at crunch time mate This is a best of three game If you don't take this point, it's game over Do you understand what's at stake? I understand Okay, you know what your buzzer is?

All right, Steve, yep. No, let's make it money. No, it can be... Money, money, money, money! Your buzzer is Steve.

Starting point is 00:37:25 but that is not correct and I think you know why I can't accept that do I get a free go? yeah you get a free go the hunt for the wilder people? the hunt for the wilder people is the correct answer
Starting point is 00:37:37 Steve you loser Steve you know I wanted to take that but she wouldn't have let it go she would not have let it go if I'd taken half an answer. Yes, I would have because I would have beat the next person. It's fine.
Starting point is 00:37:50 Should we play the third one to see? Do you want to play the third one? Yeah, let's go. The arrogance of you knows no bounds, does it? All right, for the clean sweep, Claire, are you ready? Hi, Claire. Sure, yeah. Let's go.
Starting point is 00:38:00 Movie number three. An adventurous teenager sails out on a daring mission to save her people. Brie. Brie. Is it Moana? It is Moana. Get in there, Moana. Get in.
Starting point is 00:38:12 I don't watch kids' movies. Come on. Oh, come on. Sorry, Claire. It's one of my favourite films, Moana. Is it really? I love that movie. It's brilliant.
Starting point is 00:38:24 That's it, everybody. Eight from O. Z is brain clenched. So a woman has been blocked from creating online accounts because apparently her name is offensive. That's what she's got when she tried to create an account with Twitter and they said that offensive language was discovered in her last name. I always thought this would happen to people who just happen to have
Starting point is 00:38:48 like a Bin Laden or a Hitler last name. So we're not talking about names like that. We're talking about names that contain swear words. Oh. Yeah. Her name is Natalie Weiner. Oh, come on. That's her name, Natalie Weiner.
Starting point is 00:39:10 She thinks it's hilarious, so it's okay to laugh about it. She's posted it on Twitter with the screenshot of where they've told her that she can't use her last name because it's a swear word. I've been some real dark places on Twitter before. Like when you link through accounts to accounts to accounts, there is way worse stuff than someone on there with the last name Weiner. I know. Like, come on. That's not even bad.
Starting point is 00:39:28 Come on. Grow up. She thinks it's hilarious. Weiner. We can all say it. Weiner. The post has gotten over. Half the world have one.
Starting point is 00:39:36 The post has gotten over 21,000 likes and a guy called Philip Sporn has commented and said, been there. Spawn? Yeah, because the name contains the word. Oh, is he S-P-O-R-N? Yes. Oh, I thought Spawn like Spawn again, like in Halo. No, Spawn, S-P-O-R-N.
Starting point is 00:39:57 So he can't use his last name. What's his name? Philip Spawn. He said. Philip Spawn. Multiple times he has had to change his last name to Sprawn. Yeah, it sucks. Which that kind of sucks.
Starting point is 00:40:10 Do you want to hear the other people that have come in on this? Yeah. So there's another guy whose name was Matt Cummings. He said he can't use his name. Well, that's Nick the Bachelor's last name. Yeah. So apparently he has trouble creating a house. If he gets married off this show, do you reckon she'll take his last name?
Starting point is 00:40:27 Yeah, why not? Abby Cummings. Abby Cummings. I don't know if that's who it is, by the way. What about, there's another guy who said he really struggles. I feel like I'm, no, sorry. And has been his whole life. His name's Mike Dickman.
Starting point is 00:40:43 Oh, yeah, good. That's his name. Mike Dickman. He, yeah, good. That's his name. Mike Dickman. He said, as a Dickman, I know the struggle. Do you remember that piece of footage that got leaked and it was the chase, the chaser, and... Oh, yeah. Do you remember that?
Starting point is 00:41:00 Yeah. And her name was Fanny Schmieler. But he was pronouncing it wrong. He had to apologise to that woman. We work with a Coburn here at work. That's right. He's a good man. I've known him for years. It's not spelt Coburn though. It's not spelt Coburn. I'll just
Starting point is 00:41:18 spell it. I won't say it. Okay. Spelled C-O-C-K-B-U-R-N. Coburn. One word. Coburn. I word, Coburn. I wonder if he'd be allowed a Twitter account. Probably not. Why are they so sensitive? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:31 So Twitter apparently is especially sensitive. If Mrs. Weiner can't get a Twitter account, then surely Mr. Coburn can't get a Twitter account. Well, he'd probably have to take the K out. Some names are just unfortunate. There was this guy I went to school with and it wasn't offensive but his name was Fergal and his last name was Berry. Fergal Berry.
Starting point is 00:41:55 That was his name. And he was really hot and I said to him one day, I was like, I'm happy to marry you and we can have three kids. This is a true story. I said, we can have three kids, This is a true story. I said, we can have three kids, blue, rasp and straw. And dingle. Strawberry, blueberry, raspberry.
Starting point is 00:42:12 I got it. Okay, good. Did you get dingle? Did you get dingleberry? No, I didn't go that far. Who are the parents, who are the Berry family who are naming their poor child Fergal? He was Scottish. There'll be people listening right now going, this is my life.
Starting point is 00:42:28 You guys are laughing about my life. Have you been blessed, would you say? Yeah, blessed. Blessed with a name that might be a bit funny, might be, you know, a bit naughty. We want all of those people to call up. Do you have a rude name? Or do you just have a bad name? Do you have a bad name? Do you have a bad name? Do you have a rude name? Or do you just have a bad name?
Starting point is 00:42:45 Do you have a bad name? Do you have a bad name? Do you have a rude name? We'll take them all. 0800 dial ZM. ZM's brilliant, Clint. So there's this woman who's tried to create an account on Twitter and they've told her because of her last name,
Starting point is 00:42:58 she can't use it because it contains offensive language. Her name's Natalie Weiner. I think that's rough. I think that's really rough. But there's a few of them and a few people have come out of the woodwork and they said, this has happened to me. My name's Mike Dickman and I can't use my last name. My name's Matt Cummings.
Starting point is 00:43:15 It says I can't use mine either. Yeah. Which, yeah, it's interesting to see some of the names out there that are just a little bit funny. We have asked you this afternoon, do you have a bad, did we say bad name? Unfortunate name. Unfortunate.
Starting point is 00:43:32 Yeah. Or maybe you just hate your name. Maybe you hate your name. Some people do. Let's have a laugh about it together, shall we? There's a lot of people writing in on 9696. There's one person that said, I know a lady with the last name Didlick.
Starting point is 00:43:47 Excuse me, what? Her last name is Did, D-I-D-L-I-C-K, Didlick. Did she? Not the best name, is it? Did she? There's other persons. Maria Didlick. But what did...
Starting point is 00:44:03 No, she didn't. Surely she didn't. No, she did look did lick though Did she? Yeah Apparently There's someone that wrote in Said a friend from school Took a girl to
Starting point is 00:44:13 The school ball And her name was Eden Dix No D-I-X-S No Apparently Again
Starting point is 00:44:24 The onus goes on the Dix family. Yes. What a bunch of Dix for naming your daughter Eden. Literally. I went to school with a girl. Her name, this is no joke, and where I came from, very Italian. I'm Italian. Her last name was Spina.
Starting point is 00:44:40 Her first name was Serena. This is no joke. Serena Spina. And her middle name was Selena. I'm not joking. Serena Selena Spina. That was her name? No shit.
Starting point is 00:44:53 Any co-curricular activities? Was she a ballerina? You wouldn't know. You couldn't. No, she wasn't. 0800 dial ZM. We don't know your name. What is your name?
Starting point is 00:45:05 Give it to us. Are you there? Oh. Yep, that's you. What's your name? Hannah Goobits. Hannah Goobits? Yeah, Goobits. Goobits. I don't mind it. No, it's Goobits, like G-E-R-B-I-C-H.
Starting point is 00:45:20 Oh. Like Hannah Goodbitch. Oh, I'm with you. That's amazing. You should just go by Hannah GB. Yes. Yeah. You know Hannah, she is such a GB.
Starting point is 00:45:33 What a GB. What a GB. I love it. Okay, caller number two. We don't know your name. What is it? See, this is hard because they don't know that we're talking to them. I know, right?
Starting point is 00:45:42 Are you there? Hello? Yes, that's you. Hello. Hi. It's not my name. It's my partner's name. His last name's Crips.
Starting point is 00:45:50 Crips? Crips. Crip. Crip. P-P-S. Crap. So it gets, like, confused with, like, Bloods and Crips and Gangs. Oh, Crips, like the gang.
Starting point is 00:46:02 Oh, Crips. Yeah. Right, and did you take that last name? No, we're not married. Oh, right. You guys have to be careful what part of town you live in. It does get the way that we used to live in Monganoi, so. Yeah, no.
Starting point is 00:46:14 Oh, no. You don't want to do that. Yeah, Crips. I haven't heard of that last name. Okay, you're going to hear a small beep if we're talking to you, but we just don't know your name. Hello, ZM, what's your name? Hi. Hi. Yes, what's your name? Hi.
Starting point is 00:46:27 Yes, what's your name? Jacinta McKissock. So it does get pronounced Jacinta McKisscock. Jacinta. Don't say it again. That's her last name. She can say it. Jacinta, when you get
Starting point is 00:46:44 married, will you be keeping your own last name or will you be looking to trade up? No, I'll be keeping my own last name. My partner wants my last name so badly. Yes, Queen. You go, girl. Yeah, that's wicked. Okay. Thank you, Jacinta. I like it. It's different. I'm going to go
Starting point is 00:46:59 again to this one here. Did you hear a small beep? What's your name? They don't know we're talking to them. So we're talking about people who've got unfortunate names. Can you hear us? Say hello. Call a five.
Starting point is 00:47:14 Hello. Hey, there it is. Call a five. What's your name? Last name Kurt, first name Wayne. No. No, yes. No.
Starting point is 00:47:23 Hear how it's spelled. Wayne. The company Kurt Construction. Yeah. Yeah. No, yes. No. Hear how it's spelt. Wayne. The company Kerr Construction. Yeah. Yeah. You're not. Are you joking? Grandson.
Starting point is 00:47:32 You're the grandson of Mr Kerr. Indeed I am. Is your mum's name... Whoa. Wait a minute. Can you prove it? First name is Wayne. W-H-A-Y-N-E.
Starting point is 00:47:45 Can you take a photo of your licence and send it in to us? No one believed me. Alright, we'll get it, you wait there, because if this is true, if this is true, we don't want, like, we're not going to lie, we do want to have a little bit of fun with you, but if it's true, we're going to
Starting point is 00:47:59 find you a prize, okay? Oh, man. Hell yeah, about time you got rewarded for having a name like that. You wait there, we'll get you a prize, okay? Oh, man. Hell yeah. About time you got rewarded for having a name like that. You wait there. We'll get you the details, Wayne Kerr. And if you're lying to us, well, that just makes you a bit of a wang. You know Ed Sheeran? All the talk about him at the moment is that he's married,
Starting point is 00:48:18 got secretly married. Yeah, I've heard this. This is fresh Ed Sheeran news. You know how he loves a little bit of acting? Yeah, remember that time he got that tattoo of the lion and no one knew if it was real? What? Do you remember that? He had that massive lion
Starting point is 00:48:32 tattoo piece. Yeah. And then he pretended like it was fake. Yeah. And he acted. Oh, I was like where are you going with the lion bit? Yeah. I'm talking about real acting roles that he's done. Well, is there any? Well, yeah, yeah. He was in Game of Thrones. Ed Sheeran was in Game of Thrones.
Starting point is 00:48:46 Yeah, as himself, wasn't he? No, he was playing someone else in that. He was in Shortland Street. That's where his acting career started. Oh, what a great program. Here in New Zealand on Shortland Street. And we're going to relive that in just a second. He has a new movie coming up.
Starting point is 00:49:01 What movie? Again, he's been booked to play himself. So the movie is about a world where one day this guy wakes up and no one remembers who the Beatles are. So I'm guessing he can then go and sing all the Beatles songs and he becomes a superstar. Oh, I like that plot line.
Starting point is 00:49:19 Ed Sheeran finds him. Ed Sheeran played by Ed Sheeran. Not Ed Sheeran played by Ron Weasley from Harry Potter. Gotcha. Finds him, takes him on tour, and then the guy gets more famous than Ed Sheeran. This is kind of like how Hugh Grant always plays the same character. Yes.
Starting point is 00:49:35 You know, that kind of lovable idiot, whereas Ed Sheeran will only play the same character, himself. Himself. You'd think if your job was to play yourself you'd be pretty good at it you'd be pretty good at it yeah and we love each other not taking anything away from it but I did want to relive his big acting debut where it all began here in New Zealand on Shortland Street what do you think you're doing? That's my guitar. I'm only joking, don't worry.
Starting point is 00:50:08 I'm gonna quit singing, yeah? Don't be silly. You'll get back to the rugby, but for now you can sing. I'm not that good at it. Yeah, you're good enough. You're lucky, to be honest. Most people are only good at one thing. Anyway, I should probably get going, but it's lovely to meet you, mate. Well, thanks for hanging out, Ed. No worries, bro. I'm getting better at the Kiwi bit by bit.
Starting point is 00:50:27 Better. Ladies and gentlemen, the Oscar for Ed Sheeran performances by Ed Sheeran goes to... Ed Sheeran! Fun fact, the other guy in that clip was KJ Upper. Really? Zee's brilliant clint.
