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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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
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
is New Zealand Fashion Week.
Oh, fashion.
Fashion.
Oh, fashion.
Fashion.
You went last night.
I did go, yeah.
You're so fashion forward.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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,
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?
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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,
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.
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?
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,
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.
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.
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?
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.
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?
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?
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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...
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
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
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.
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.
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,
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?
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.
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?
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?
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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?
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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?
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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,
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
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?
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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?
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.
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
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.
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.
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,
she's French,
so I'm going to attempt this,
Alizé Cornet.
Okay.
I think.
One of the top tennis players.
Obviously.
Yeah.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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?
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
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?
It's all business Steve
Money
No, your buzzer is Steve, okay?
Alright, Steve, yep
Now let's make it money Money, money, money, money your buzzer is Steve, okay? All right, Steve, yep. No, let's make it money.
No, it can be...
Money, money, money, money!
Your buzzer is Steve.
Second movie.
Right.
A boy and his foster father become the subjects of a manhunt.
Steve.
Steve.
The Water People.
Oh, Steve.
Steve, you're so close
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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?
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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,
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.
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.
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.
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...
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
The school ball
And her name was Eden
Dix
No
D-I-X-S
No
Apparently
Again
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
Hello.
Hey, there it is.
Call a five.
What's your name?
Last name Kurt, first name Wayne.
No.
No, yes.
No.
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.
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.
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
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,
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
