Hello everybody and welcome to less of a podcast introduction and more of an intervention We've called this meeting today because This is mean, I don't want to be a part of this Bree has an issue with a member of the team And it's high time that everything was put out in the open I'm gonna sound like an ungrateful bitch No, it's Say it first so you can sound like one and then we'll explain and then I'll back you up.

So for a couple of days, producer Anastasia has been so lovely and nice enough to make me cups of tea, which has been making me feel better because I've been a little bit down. Anyway, she's been making me cups of tea and I've said to Clint a few times, God, she makes a strong tea. And today she brings in the tea and it's probably the strongest I've had. And Clint goes, no, you need to say something to her. And I was like, no, that's rude.

I thought it was a coffee. It does kind of look like a coffee. So I said to you, rather than suffer in silence and waste the nice tea that Anastasia has made. I still drink it. You need to speak up. You need to speak up and you need to say something because Anastasia, what would you prefer? Would you prefer that Bree didn't enjoy her tea

for fear of insulting you? Or would you rather know the truth so you were making the best tea you could make? This friendship relies on honesty and I'm very happy that Clint has called this intervention because you were pretty honest at the start when you told me off for not making you a tea that one time I made me and Ben Milo's.

I felt very strongly about that. The reason why I make the tea now is because I want to make you feel included when I go and get a hot beverage. But I'm happy to take some criticism on board and be the best person I can be. I feel like I'm glad to tell you because I feel like it's going to save fights in your future relationships when you do get into a relationship

because if you make a significant other a tea like that, it's not going to go down well, I don't think. Mate, if you make that kind of tea for Vaughan on The Breakfast Show, if you ever get promoted, he'll throw it at you. You'll be out the door. You'll have third-degree burns. He would actually throw it at you. Yeah yeah I've heard him do that before no he

wouldn't ask for one because once he was offered a lemon and honey and he said no if he was gonna make it here he wanted someone to go across the road to the cafe oh did I just spill the beans did you just spill that no did you just spill the tea wait is this a podcast exclusive okay it's time for an impartial tea review. So did you make Georgia's tea as well? I really don't want to. This is really embarrassing because there are very, there are heaps of inconsistencies with the way I've made the teas today.

Now, Georgia, you're our impartial reviewer of this. Okay, so this is the tea that Anastasia made Brie today. And I would like you to inspect it and tell me, just give me your thoughts and feelings do you think that is too strong Georgia oh okay she's quite similar oh no she is a bit darker than mine all right it's a lot more darker hers taste it I think that's great oh but but but but let me try mine for Anast. You know how I know that it's too strong? Yep.

As an avid tea drinker. Yep. It's got that taste about it when you leave the tea bag in too long. Oh, that's the bitterness. The bitterness. It's gone to the dark brown side. It's gone a little bit better. That's what I would say. I leave my tea bag in.

Oh, the whole time? Yeah, so am I. Is that a crime? Because that's what I do. Wait, are we still talking about drinking tea? Anyway, this is cathartic. It's good. You guys are on the same page now. I really appreciate you making me tea and I'm

still going to drink this tea. So wait, I actually genuinely have one question for tomorrow's tea making. Yeah. Am I putting in the tea bag for less time or am I putting in the teabag for less time or am I putting in more milk? Oh, great tea-based question. There was a decent splosh in that.

Because I feel like a dollop of milk could really save the tea. No, but you'd still have the bitterness. So I think teabag just a little bit less. Okay, cool. Because I'm a very much a tiny dash of milk. Just for bonus points, how was the level of sugar in that one? Is there sugar in it? Yeah, I didn't taste sugar in that one.

Well, we didn't actually have any spoons, so I had to use a fork to put it in. Which actually proves to be quite difficult when you're making tea. Yeah, it's quite weak. I don't think the fork was... But it's good. The sugar will still be at the bottom because the fork wouldn't have been able to pick it up when it was stirring it. The bottom mouth was going to be very sweet. I just couldn't scoop anything out.

You've got a little bit to learn. This is good. All right. And now you know what it's like to work for Brie as well. Oh, shut up. I didn't even want to say anything. Next minute you'll be asking us to go to the cafe. Whatever.

Okay. All right. Good. Everybody sip your tea and let's start the cafe. Whatever. Okay, alright, good. Everybody, sip your tea and let's start the podcast. Remember when Elton John came to the country? This is all pre-COVID, Bree. This is in a far off world that was like February. Before the apocalypse. Yeah, before the apocalypse.

Elton John came, did a great show in Dunedin, did a show in the Hawke's Bay. Did a show that I was meant to go to, but he cancelled it. Yeah, he didn't do that show. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then COVID happened. But there was that one show in Auckland where about halfway through it, he lost his voice.

He had walking pneumonia. If we'd known what we know now, we probably would have thought that he had COVID. But he couldn't sing anymore and he went off stage. Remember that? Halfway through. Yeah. And then some people were like, we should get a refund for that.

And one of those people was our producer, Ben, and we're like, you cheap bastard. You'll never get a refund. He did 60% of the show. Just live with it. Well, guess what? Someone's got a refund. They took Elton John to court and that person is on the phone with us. His name is Michael Batty.

Hello, Michael. Hello, Michael. Hello, guys. How are you? Good on you, Benny. Keep up the good fight, mate. That's what we like to hear. Don't encourage him.

And just so you know, Michael, we're paying for the phone call, so don't worry about that. How does it feel to be the man who sued Elton John and won? Oh, look, it wasn't quite Elton John. I mean, he wasn't rocking up in his sparkly sunglasses. It was more the promoter and ticket master. So they were the guys that had to front up to the tribunal. And Chug Entertainment is the promoter that settled

for the 40% refund plus court costs. I was at that show as well. How much did you pay for your ticket? $1,060 all up. Whoa. For all the tickets. Okay. And how much are you getting as a refund?

We got about $470 in total. Okay. Michael, how long have you spent on this? Oh, look, I reckon the first kind of complaint or request for a refund was sent the following day after the concert. And then as soon as, you know, customer service, as they are sometimes with these big corporations, they're a little bit lazy. As soon as they were coming back with, you know, some BS answers, that's when things kind of escalated to the disputes tribunal. And then we got a court date, got a hearing date. Hey, Michael, when did you first realise you were the male version of a Karen?

I've been trying to not read through the Facebook comments, but there has been a mention or two of the word 10, or Muppet is the one I can't remember. No, you're a hero. I think you're doing the people's work. You're like Erin Brockovich, but a man and Australian. I want to know, as someone who went to that show, do I get a refund?

Cause you got a refund. Do I get a refund or do I have to go to court as well? See what you've started, Michael. Hey, this is what I like. I want the whole wave of 30,000 people knocking a ticket master's door. That's what I want.

But I mean, I mean the advice that I would kind of give everyone is to email ticket master or give ticket master a ring and just say, based on my case, that you're deserving of a 40% refund. Oh, that sounds like too much effort. I just want the money to show up in my account. Michael, one last question. Are you single or taken?

No, my partner's actually a lawyer. Oh, now it all comes out. Both of you've got nothing better to do. Ladies and gentlemen, the man who successfully sued Elton John. That's Michael Batty. Thanks for talking to us, man. Enjoy your $400. See you, Karen.

Have a good rest of your day. Bree and Clint from iHeartRadio. This is The Latest. Live from LA with Dean McCarthy. Dean's on the line. He's got some news on some celebrity memorabilia that's gone to auction. Hi, Dean. Oh, good morning, guys.

Good afternoon, guys. Let me tell you, this is a new level. We talked about Michael Jordan's Air Jordans that were going to go for like $1.2 million. We talked about the Marilyn Monroe happy birthday Mr. President dress. Well, this is a new record. You can buy Elvis Presley's guitar, the one that he wrote most of his big hits on in Memphis, Tennessee, and then performed on stage. Bidding starts at $1.2 million,

and they're expecting it will make $3 million for this guitar. It is history, though. This is the ultimate celebrity merchandise memorabilia you could ever have, ever, for $3 million. This is history, though. This is the ultimate celebrity merchandise memorabilia you could ever have, ever, for $3 million. This is ridiculous because how much did that Kurt Cobain guitar go for? The Kurt Cobain one went for $9 million because there's a guy who said he would pay anything for it. So I think, Dean, that they expect three. I think it's going to go for a hell of a lot more than that.

It'll go for more. Because you're right. Yeah, if it's one of a kind, it's Elvis' guitar. It literally is one of a kind. Bree and I had this debate. I'd rather have Kurt Cobain's guitar than Elvis' of a kind, it's Elvis' guitar. It literally is one of a kind. Bree and I had this debate. I'd rather have Kurt Cobain's guitar than Elvis' guitar. I'd rather have Elvis' guitar. What about you, Dean?

Marilyn's shoes, maybe like Jackie Kennedy's little Chanel outfit. I'm not vibing either of the guitars. If you could have a Cher onesie or Britney Spears pop star mic, which one would you prefer, Dean? Cher onesie. Did you both say Cher onesie or Britney Spears pop star mic, which one would you prefer, Dave? Cher onesie. Did you both say Cher onesie? Absolutely. Damn, I don't think both of you can fit inside that onesie,

so we're going to have an issue here. We'll try. That's Dean McCarthy, live out of Los Angeles. He's our correspondent in Hollywood. You know what I love? I love Uber Eats data. Oh, yeah. You know where Uber Eats go, oh, let us show you the insights as to what people are ordering.

I just find it fascinating. It's a glimpse inside everybody's, because a lot of it it's guilty pleasures too. Well, I just want to know that I'm normal for ordering Uber Eats five times a week. Yeah, because you're putting a picture of your green smoothie on your Instagram story. You're not necessarily putting a picture

of the five different takeaways you've had that week. No. Yeah. Never. But they've released insights this time into what people are ordering that are in managed isolation. Oh. So people who have been quarantined in Rotorua. Can they get Uber Eats if you're in those hotels?

So apparently they can. And Uber Eats only launch in Rotorua on July the 1st. Yeah. So these people are quite lucky. Yeah. Because they have just made the window of being able to get it. Otherwise, as someone from Rotorua, it's very hard to get food when you want it sometimes there. Yeah. There's a lot of places apparently on this.

Okay, cool. Okay, so what are the quarantinis in Rotorinis and what are they getting from Uber Eats? So there's a few stats on here. It says that the people have now ordered from over 30 different local restaurants, so a lot of different cuisines. Yeah, that's all of our restaurants. That's all of them in Rotorua. Oh, wow, Rotorua got five new restaurants.

One particular customer that's in isolation ordered from the app 11 times whilst in hotel quarantine, including Subway five times. Yeah, I can get that. Yeah, probably for lunch. But let's get to the top things. What do you think were the top things that people are ordering whilst in quarantine? Ice cream.

Ice cream to be delivered. You reckon? Surely they can get Lady Jane's ice cream or something like that from Rotorua delivered via Uber Eats. No. No, no ice cream. No. I'll give you a hint. It is savory.

Okay. The top thing people in hotel quarantine. Oh, pizza. Yes. Pizza is the number one thing that people are ordering. Yeah. Closely followed by burgers. Yeah, pizza. Yes. Pizza is the number one thing that people are ordering. Closely followed by burgers. Yeah, that makes sense. That's what people are ordering. Yeah.

Anything interesting? Anything out of the ordinary? They do a mean hangi pie in Rotorua. Is anyone, how high on the rankings is hangi pie? It says Rotorua's Saigon 60s Vietnamese cuisine said that they've been

absolutely blasted with orders. Oh yeah. Which I mean I love a Vietnamese dish. Look if you're quarantined in a hotel room do whatever makes you happy

but you would want a hit of freshness every now and then wouldn't you? Oh yeah. Just a rice paper roll to make you feel good about yourself.

Oh, my God, guys. Thank you so much. Bree and Clint. Megan just won $500 with the 50K fact of the day. Thanks to Save My Bacon because she knew the Marge Simpson fact. Wasn't she lovely? Weird that Marge Simpson was meant to have rabbit ears. That was the fact of the day.

Wait, she was meant to have rabbit ears. That was the fact of the day. Wait, she was meant to have rabbit ears? Yeah, her original hair. The reason her hair is so big and tall like that is because it was meant to hide her rabbit ears. Yeah. Have you ever seen like if the Simpsons were humans? Have you seen the drawings? Yes.

Yeah. Weird. And then the real early Simpsons where they weren't drawn very well. I hate the early Simpsons. They ghost you so many faces. I can't handle the real early creepy Simpsons and I can't handle the current day HD Simpsons. No, I don't mind that.

No. It's okay. The most trippy one was the 3D episode. When Homer goes through the portal behind the bookshelf. Oh, that tripped me out. That was too much for a kid. It was 4.20 in the afternoon, but trippy. Hey, I asked you before, have you had to give up something to be with someone?

Ada Field Williams is Robbie Williams' wife. You know Robbie Williams. Oh, I'm from where? Oh, she out there. Now, she is an actress. Is this song about her? Oh, it could be about her. Could be. It could be. She's an actress. Is this song about her? Oh, it could be about her. Could be.

It could be. She's an actress. She was actually a judge on UK X Factor. And she's married to Rory Williams. That's what it says in her Wikipedia bio. I know who you're talking about. Yeah. She's come out and said that basically she gave up on her dream and her career,

her dream to be an actress, to be with Robbie Williams. Right. She's 41 now, but she said that she nearly signed a US TV sitcom, but in the end decided to stay with Robbie instead. In 2007, he wanted to buy a house in the British county of Wiltshire. Wiltshire.

Wiltshire. Wiltshire. And he said, I'm going to buy a house here. He's 2007. He's the biggest star in the world. Huge. Blowing up.

And he said, I want you to live there with me. And she was like, oh, yeah, I don't know. Yeah, all right. Eventually, she agreed. And the day that they moved there, she got a phone call from her US agent saying that they had a role for her on a major US sitcom. What sitcom was it?

They didn't say. Oh, it says major. It says major. Might have been Suits. And I think 2007. It could have been Suits. Could have been Big Bang Theory. Oh, well, you would have passed on that.

You never know. He said to her, Robbie Williams said to her, and they weren't married at this stage. He said, turn it down. I want you to be with me. Wait, so they were only boyfriend and girlfriend Yeah And she said that he had done some things

Before then Which meant that she didn't particularly trust him So he'd been like Well read into that what you want Oh we know what it is It's Robbie Williams He was messing around Anyway she took the leap of faith

And said okay I see a future with you, so I will stay and I will say no to this job. And in the end, I mean, it's worked out because they're married and they're happy and the relationship has survived. But can you imagine how much she would resent herself if she'd given up that role and then the relationship had fallen over?

She probably still does to a certain extent because she picked, well, do you pick love over your dreams? Yeah. That's essentially what she did. Except in her situation it is, do you pick Robbie Williams over your dreams? So do you pick money over your dreams? Yeah.

Yeah. So she's gone with that. And does she regret it? I mean, she's done other jobs now and there's been other opportunities, but you don't know that in the moment, do you? Well, you don't even know what she could have done if she wasn't, you know, tied down. I want to take some calls this afternoon from people who have done something similar. Did you give up something important to you to be with somebody?

Yeah, and how did it turn out? Yeah, did it work out? Was it the right decision? Yeah. Do you regret it? Do you regret it now? Or did someone give up something to be with somebody. Yeah, and how did it turn out? Yeah, did it work out? Was it the right decision? Yeah. Do you regret it? Do you regret now? Or did someone give up something to be with you? Maybe you know that you asked way too much of this person.

Yeah. But they were willing to do it and they gave up something just to be with you. 0800 dial ZM or you can text us on 9696. We'd love to hear your stories this afternoon. What did you give up for love? Kia ora, I'm Simon Bound and I host Business is Boring

Ah, can you just shut up and play Brie and Clint? Yes, I can, here they are Here we are They're here now Show brought to you by Mobile, by the way Thanks Mobile, you can save six cents a letter every day at Mobile We appreciate you. What's going on?

The producer, yes? Anastasia. Producer Anastasia is frantically waving her arms. What's up, friends? Hey, we've just got a bit of a call. Someone wants to speak to you, Bree.

Okay. There's just someone there to speak to Bree, if that's okay. Hello, ZM. Hello. Hey, Bree, it's Ben, your flatmate.

Hi, Ben, Bree's flatmate. Welcome to the show. I told you not to call me at work. I see you've been trying to call Bree's phone and she hasn't been picking up. What's up, man? Yeah, sorry to bother you. I know you're busy.

Oh, no. Not doing a national radio show or anything? Please let Ben speak. Ben, what's up? I'll keep it quick. I've just got home and noticed you've left some pizza in the fridge from last night. Is it okay if I eat it?

Ben, Brie's got a bad track record with flatmates eating her food. One time she left a chicken cabanara in the fridge for three weeks and her flatmate ate it. So I'm going to answer on Brie's behalf. Eat it at your own risk, okay? At your own peril, Ben.

I can't believe you've called me whilst I'm at work to ask that question. I said I'd keep it brief, but at least I asked. No, at least you asked. That's very polite, and because you did ask, you may have some pizza. Of course you can. Perfect. I'm literally opening the fridge

now. All right. Thank you. Jeez, what is this becoming? Oh, my flatmate Ben. Robbie Williams' partner has come out and said that she gave up her career as an actress because Robbie asked her to. It was her dream, what she wanted to do, but to be with him, she needed to be where he was. Her name's Ada Field Williams. She got offered the job, and he said, turn it down, and she did.

She doesn't regret it now because things worked out, but that's a massive call to make in that moment. It's a huge call. It's something that, to be honest, happens quite a lot in the profession you and I do, Clint, because, well, where I'm from in Aussie, you have to move everywhere a lot, and you have to pretty much pick your dreams over relationships sometimes. Or have a partner that's willing to follow you. Exactly right.

So it's really hard to ask someone to do that too. So we've asked you this afternoon, have you had to give up something to be with the person that you loved? We're going to talk to Cara first. Hi, Cara. Hi, Cara. Hi, how's it going? Good, thanks. Did you give up something or did the partner give up something? So I gave up something. It was about

four and a half years ago where I decided which university I'll go to based on where my partner was going. Okay, right. That's a big decision. Yeah, I thought it was the right decision at the time, but a week ago or so, we broke up. Oh, no. And are you studying something that you didn't particularly want to study? No, I was studying what I did want to study, but... Just not in the place

you would have picked. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, Cara. Oh, well, COVID's changed a lot of things, mate. Maybe you could start again. Maybe you could move somewhere else. I don't know. I'm looking for silver linings here. Yeah. Rough.

Okay, thank you, Cara. Let's talk to Lucy. Lucy, what did you give up to be with someone? I gave up the life that they offered me. So I was going to go for two months, and he said, I'm going to buy a house in the beautiful part of Auckland. I want you to, I bought a ring, want you to be engaged, get pregnant, leave your job for me and live this life. Whoa.

Whoa. Yeah. And I just graduated at the end of last year, four years of study. I've just started my dream job for the last six months. And I said no. I want to experience my life first. And if you can't compromise on that, then... Good for you, can I say, Lucy. So he pretty much was saying that I want you to pretty much stay at home, be pregnant. What did he want you?

To be chained to the stove or something? Yeah to pretty much, you know, stay at home, be pregnant. What did he want you, chained to the stove or something? Yeah, pretty much, maybe. It sounds like that. Oh, good on you, Lucy. It sounds a bit old school. Any regrets? No. No.

Actually, no regrets. No, good for you. I think if it's the right person, they will support you in what you want to do and not tell you what you should do. Well, this is why I was surprised that Robbie Williams told his partners to quit her job. Like, you're a millionaire.

Can't you just fly her around the world? I mean, I feel like you should support each other and make things work if it's really meant to be. Yeah. Megan, hi. Hi. You have to give up something to be with someone? Yes, I did.

My best friend of about three years, we ended our friendship because I started dating her ex-boyfriend. Whoa, you gave up your best friend? Yeah. Wow. How come? Well, obviously she wasn't okay with you dating her ex. Well, obviously she wasn't okay with you dating her ex. Well, no.

And, yeah, me and, well, he's now my husband, had such a strong bond from the moment we kind of met one another. Yeah. And I was like, well, I want to give this a shot. Did you ever make up with a friend? Obviously the relationship's lasted. Did you ever make up with a friend? Yeah, probably about a year or two ago.

Oh, well, that's nice. Megan, you know what you could have done? You could have offered up one of your exes for her. Yeah, a bit of a trade and exchange. Should we do a trade, kind of like Pokemon, you know, style? There's so many texts on this as well. There's so many texts. Someone else texted through.

This one really like hit me in the feels. They said I gave up the relationship with my family because they didn't like my partner. Yeah, that's a tough one. That's hard. But I feel like if your family are making you choose, I mean provided your partner

is not like a gang leader or something and they've just got your best interest at heart. Yeah, absolutely. Have you ever wondered why, you know, at dinner time you might eat this huge meal and you're like, oh, I'm so full. And then all of a sudden dessert comes out or someone offers you ice cream and you're like, oh, I might have a bit of that. No, I don't stop to wonder.

If someone's offering me ice cream, I just go, yep, I'm good. Open, open, ready, I'm ready. How that is, like you can be so full but then you have room for dessert. Now that you mention it, yes, it is a curious phenomenon. People call, they always talk about the dessert stomach. Yeah, oh, like a second stomach. Yeah, we're used to it in our family. Yeah, so like the savoury stuff goes into one stomach

and the dessert goes into the other stomach. Wouldn't it be nice if that was the case? Yeah, it would be nice. That's not true. That's not at all what it is. But they have come out with some science behind it saying why you actually can fit that extra bit of sweet stuff in. Can I have a go at guessing?

Yeah. Is it because the ice cream melts down over all of the food that's in there and the food's still warm because it's body temperature inside of you and it sort of just fills up all the gaps, you know? Kind of like if you had some bricks in a fish tank and it looks full but you could pour like two litres of water in there. God, you should have been a scientist. Is that it?

No. Basically, the sugar in the desserts and other sweet foods that you might eat for dessert stimulate a reflex that actually expands your stomach. Really? Yeah, it's crazy. So if you eat dessert after actually feeling super full, you're actually tricking your normal sensation of being full. Right.

So it actually makes you feel less stuffed. So what you're saying here actually makes having ice cream after dinner even worse because you are full. It's all tricking. But the illusion, your body goes, I'm going to make myself an even bigger stomach. This person physically can't fit any more into their body, so I'm going to increase the size of their stomach so they can put pure sugar and cream inside themselves.

Pretty much, because you know your stomach is really flexible. Yeah. Like, it actually is really flexible, so when you eat a large amount, the upper section of your stomach relaxes so it can fit all the food in. I watched you eat that one and a half kilos of steak that time. Your stomach must be really flexible.

Oh, it stretched. Big time. Stretched, yeah. To the max. It wasn't the only thing that got stretched either. Oh. What? The, um, the, um, the bill.

Bree and Clint. Oh my God, I heard she bought all her followers. She would. She's such a bitch. It's time for Brie and Clint's Insta Fame Game. Very simple game

where Clint and I try and guess how many Instagram followers celebrities have and we play for people at home. You just got to pick the winner. Ashley's here first of all. Ashley, we hear you

haven't had a very good day today. Oh, it's just been one of those days, you know. Just a bit ho-hum? Yeah, I'm just ready to go home and I'm on my way home and I've just pulled over and hopefully you can make it better. Fair enough, Ashley. Come on, Bree. Bree. Bree's your girl. Yes, I'm back in the end, Ash.

I'm back in the end. If Bree wins, you get mobile fuel. Jeremy, if I win, you get mobile fuel, okay? Woo-hoo. Yeah, let's do this. Let's make Ashley's day even worse. Sounds good, man. Sounds good, yeah.

That's horrible. I know it's the wrong attitude, but Jeremy's my guy, you know? I've got to back him in. Producer Anastasia is running the Insta fame game. Hi, Producer Anastasia. Hey, guys. Bree won last week, so I'm excited to see who's going to take it out today. Okay, hit us with the first celebrity from Instagram.

First celebrity number one is Lady Gaga, who actually last week was nominated for seven VMAs, which was the most alongside Ariana Grande, which is pretty cool. Lady Gaga. Is she Kardashian famous on Instagram? That's what I always try and measure it off. Okay, well, Clint, you have put 120 million and Bree's put 38 million.

Lady Gaga has 43 million followers, so that's a win for Bree. I knew she didn't have as many as them. She was in the not as, you know, Instagrammable era. She doesn't do as much Instagram content as them, does she? No. Okay, all right. Second celebrity is Elton John. you know, Instagrammable era. She doesn't do as much Instagram content as them, does she? No. No. Okay, all right.

Second celebrity is Elton John. He's recently celebrated 30 years of sobriety, saying he'd be dead if it wasn't for that awesome family and friends he had supporting him. Elton John. Oh. He's definitely not running his own Instagram. I know that about Elton John. No. And I did look when he was here earlier in the year. That's definitely not running his own Instagram. I know that about Elton John. No, no.

And I did look when he was here earlier in the year. That's a million. We've both put in close numbers here. Clint's gone for 4 million. Oh, we're very close. And Brie has gone for 3.4. I can confirm he's just ticked over 3 million, so that's another one for Brie.

Yay. Oh, he's going all right. Yeah, he's got a pretty big Twitter following too. Someone else would be running that. I think he runs his Twitter. Yeah. You reckon he does? Yeah.

He does quite a bit of cool stuff. I think he likes to sass people out on there. Well, he used to anyway. He used to have a go at Lily Allen all the time. Did he? Yeah, he was like, clean up your act, drunken bit. Lovely. Awesome.

And with that, we're heading into celebrity number three We're going for James Corden today Who is rumoured to be in line for Alan's slot Her daytime TV slot The show or the person? We're going for the person, not the show Good question though Right, because the show's called The Late Late Show or something, right?

Yeah, and I can confirm that's got a lot more followers And what's he called? James Corden It might be Jay Corden, but I'm not going to confirm that Yeah got a lot more followers. And what's he called? James Corden. It might be Jay Corden, but I'm not going to confirm that. Yeah, cool, cool, cool. His following, Clint has put 7 million and Brie has put 13. Come on, Vashley, come on. James has 5.8 million.

Damn it! That's a pretty good one. You're one win away from a down trail there, but you can't have it this week. I really want to take it home, Vash. Celebrity number four is Dwayne The Rock Johnson. He's revealed that in the 2005 remake of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, he was asked to be, they were considering him to be Willy Wonka.

I saw that. Yeah, how crazy is that? They went with Johnny Depp. Yeah. You have put $90 million and Bree's put $204 million. I swear he's got a ton. He has a ton. It's $192.

Yeah! That's sweet! Well done, Bree. We did it, Ash! Yeah, Bree! You did it! You enjoy that fuel. You deserve it.

Can you imagine a giant Dwayne the Rock Johnson rolling around a chocolate factory with Oompa Loompas all around him? Hey, I'd watch that film. So would I, actually. There's a family that is making headlines this week. And the family is from country Shreya. Yeah. And they're making headlines because the shrine that they have to one of their children's,

one of their children in their house is quite unusual. Okay. So you know what we're talking about when we say a shrine? You know the things that parents keep of certain children that they're proud of and when people come over they go, oh, that was when Billy won, you know, the under-sex grand final. Yeah. Those are Mary's cross-country medals.

Yeah. She was so good at long distance, wasn't she? My parents may or may not have an awkwardly large colour picture of me doing some public speaking hanging in the lounge. I've seen it. Is that when you had the eyebrow piercing or not? I think it would be eyebrow piercing time, yeah. And I've got a

wax mohawk. And it's in the lounge. And everyone who comes over they say, oh, that's an interesting picture of Clint. Clearly you're the favourite child. I have the, no, I don't think I'm the favourite child. Oh, you so think you're the favourite. No, but I have the shrine because I'm the only

Rotorua young achiever in the family. Yeah, see, so that's how we know you're the favourite. No, but I have the shrine because I'm the only Rotorua young achiever in the family. Yeah, see, so that's how we know you're the favourite child because the shrine is to you. But this family, it's actually a shrine to their son and apparently they've got the cricket bat he used when he hit a century in his under-14s grand final. Yeah.

So that's pretty good. But hanging on the cricket bat is the rat's tail that they cut off and stuck to the cricket bat. Oh, yuck. Yuck. You know, I found my baby book a few years back. And it's got a piece of hair in it and it's also in a bag. It's got my first tooth that fell out.

Oh, yeah, I've got that too. That's disgusting to me. No, apparently this cricket bat with the rat's tail is sitting in the lounge room. Yeah, that's what I mean. Baby book, it's out of the way. It's on a shelf. I didn't discover it for 30 years. This is in the middle of the house for everybody to see.

People come over and they go, what's that? And they go, oh, that's Brendan's rat's tail. Can I ask an insensitive question? Is the kid alive? Yes. Right, okay. Yeah,'s Brendan's rat's tail. Can I ask an insensitive question? Is the kid alive? Yes. Right, okay. Yeah, so Brendan comes home for Christmas. I think he's in his 30s now and he goes, oh, yeah,

I remember that rat's tail. Just clips it on for memories. If he's playing social cricket, he just wraps it around to clips it on for good luck. I am all for that shrine. Your parents have got a pretty decent shrine of you, though. I've never been to your house. You've been to mine and seen the Rotorua Young Achiever.

I have seen it. But I've heard at your house there's a room of trophies from your sporting achievements. So there was always, you know what's really sad? So they have a bookcase and literally my trophies and medals fill the entire bookcase. Yeah. Anyway, last year my parents moved out of our family home into another home.

My mum rang me the other day and apparently got rid of all of them. Yeah, no, no, no. You've told half the story. She said, what do you want me to do with all these trophies? And you said something to the effect of keep them and display them. Be proud of me. It's not, they're not their achievements. They were looking to take the shrine down.

I was the only athletic one in the family, clearly. May as well embrace it. We want to ask you guys this afternoon, what's the shrine in your parents' house? And it might not be for you. It might be for one of your siblings. Are you annoyed that it's for one of your siblings? What is it?

What have they kept from maybe the favourite child? It could be for you. It might be a shrine dedicated to you and it might piss your siblings off or there might clearly be a favourite and you know because in the lounge there's a replica statue of them, a bronze statue, and there's no pictures of you in the entire house.

Oh, $800 at M or you can text us to 9696. Who's the shrine for and what have they got in the shrine in your family? Bree and Clint. Family over in Aussies making headlines after it's come to light that they have a shrine of one of their sons in their living rooms and it's a cricket bat with his 14-year-old rat tail taped to the top. Not just any cricket bat, though. No, it's the one he hit the century in the grand final under-14s comp. And I'm just assuming he had the rat's tail at the same time.

And I'm also assuming that he cut it off after the match. He's like, I've peaked. Let's memorialise this. I need to remember this forever. I need to remember this forever. Sorry, rat's tail. Snip. You're going.

So gross. So we're asking you, what's the kid shrine at your parents' place? It might not even be to you. It might be to one of your siblings. Might be to the favourite. First up is Priscilla. Hi, Priscilla. Hi. Hello.

Is the shrine to you or one of your other siblings? The shrine is to me, but it's from my grandparents. Oh, yeah. What have they done? My grandma got my first tooth and turned it into a gold-plated

necklace so she could wear it around her neck. What? Whoa. What? Can you still tell that it's a tooth? You can still tell that it's a tooth, but can still tell that it's a tooth, but it's so small because it's one of my first ones. Priscilla, do you have brothers and sisters?

That is weird. Yeah, and I've got cousins. I'm quite the youngest in my family, so that's why I feel like... Does Nana wear a tooth from all of the kids or just you? Just mine. That'd just be crazy, Clint, if you had one for everyone. Our next person wants

to stay anonymous. Hello, Anonymous. Hi. Hi, how are you? Good, thanks. I'm assuming it might be someone else that there was a shrine for in your family. Pretty much. So, all of my siblings and myself are non-existent in my parents' home.

There is a massive shrine to the four deceased cats. Wait, wait, wait. When you say shrine, what are we talking about? So each cat that has passed away has a hand carved native New Zealand timber box and each box has got hand engraved names and so when each

cat has passed away the ashes go into this hand carved box so there's a Pahutukawa there's a Rimu, there's a Cody and there's my friend and then there's nothing for you guys there's a Cody, and there's my son. Oh, my God. And then there's nothing for you guys. There's photos of the cats in the lounge at their peak.

They're eating, they're lying on the lounge. At their peak. The way your parents would want them to be remembered. You know, Anonymous, I feel like this is something you've been wanting to get off your chest for a while now, and I feel like you were meant to call this afternoon. It's, you know, it's therapeutic, actually, and I feel

it's cathartic. At Christmas, I dare you to replace a picture of the cat with a picture of you and see how long it takes your parents to find you've tried. Libby's here. We were talking before about, oh, we actually had that call about that baby tooth on Grandma's necklace. Libby, what's the baby shrine, oh, we actually had that call about that baby tooth on grandma's necklace.

Libby, what's the baby shrine of yours that your parents have got? My mum has got my belly button scab from when I was a baby. From where my umbilical cord fell off, the scab that came off with it. She has still got it taped in a book with my hair, with my baby bracelet. There's a sitting, like a little scab that looks like a chunk.

It looks exactly what you think it looks like. It's disgusting. It's a scab. I've seen it before. I saw my daughter's one fall off. It's a scab. Did you keep it? No, I didn't keep it.

No. That is awful. That's all we've got the baby for. We'll keep the baby and get rid of the scab. It could have been worse, Libby. You could have been a boy and it could have been a different type of thing.

And finally, Jeremy, what's the shrine your parents have got to you in their house? Well, this one probably won't come as a surprise to you guys being that you sent me

on a naked dining experience once. Oh, Jeremy! Yes, we remember you. Yes, we sent you naked dining with a naked date. You loved to be naked, experience once. Oh, yes. We remember you. Yes, we sent you naked dining with a naked date. You loved to be naked. Yes. So my dad has a photo of me full stride whilst I was streaking at a black caps cricket match.

And where is it displayed? Front and centre on the fridge. Jeremy, can I ask, how much did you get fined for streaking at a black caps game? Oh, he's gone. Oh, no. Oh, no. I wanted to ask him if you can see his wanger in the picture as well.

I don't know why you would be asking that. I feel like it's the obvious question. Do you want a copy? Bree and Clint. It's my birthday. It's my birthday. Bree and Clint's birthday banger. What was the number one song on your 16th birthday? Can you remember? Well, that's exactly what we're about to do for these three people. Imagine if you could remember.

Can you remember? No. Neither. I can't remember yesterday. No, exactly right. Seriously? Yeah. What happened yesterday? No, that's why we do this segment. Lucy, hi. Hi, right. Seriously? Yeah. What happened yesterday?

No, that's why we do this segment. Lucy, hi. Hi, Lucy. Hi. What were we doing yesterday? I mean, how are you? I'm good, thank you. Yeah, good.

That's good. What's your birthday, Lucy? 25th of June, 2002. You're a baby. You were 16 in 2018 on the 25th of June. And Lucy, this is your birthday banger. Oh, Five Sauce. I think that's still in the playlist, Lucy.

Well, it's not going to win because we literally just played it. Did we? 15 minutes ago, yeah. But do you like your birthday banger? Do you like Five Sauce? Yes. Yeah, good. Okay, good.

That was quite a good song from them. Let's get one on for Paul. Hi, Paul. G'd quite a good song from them. Let's get one on for Paul. Hi, Paul. G'day, Paul. Hiya. How's your day been? Yeah, not too bad. Yourself?

Yeah, not too bad. Let's do a birthday banger for you. What's your birthday? 28th of April, 1990. All right. You were 16 in 2006 on the 28th of April. And in 2006, this topped the charts. Paul.

Paul. You told me that you had a good day. What a punishing birthday banger, Paul. I don't mind that song. Daniel Powder, Bad Day. Do you hate it, Paul? How do you feel about it, Paul? Yeah, it's not too bad. I Powder, Bad Day. Do you hate it, Paul? How do you feel about it, Paul?

Oh, yeah, it's not too bad. I like it. Because you had a bad day. I just like to think that one day you'd go to a party

and you'd go, alright guys, let's chuck on my birthday banger and let's really kick this thing up again, you know? And then Paul

strides over to the stereo and he's like... Because you had a bad day. You take it one down. Enough lemonades and everything's a banger. Okay, wait there, Paul. Now that we've seriously rained on your birthday banger,

we'll finish with Chris. Hi, Chris. Hello, Chris. Hi, how are you? Good, how are you, mate? Yeah, good, mate. That's good. What's your birthday, Chris?

Yeah, 24th of April, goodbye. That's good. What's your birthday, Chris? Yeah, 24th of April, 80. Okay, you were 16 in 1996 on the 24th of April. And Chris, this is your birthday banger. It's like rain on your wedding day. It's a free ride. She was meant to be here to do a gig during bloody lockdown, during COVID, Alanis Morissette. Isn't that ironic? Chris, I love your birthday banger.

What do you think? That's awesome. That's awesome. You know what? I reckon we go straight to it. You've won birthday banger. Congratulations. Thank you for me right there.

Brian Clint, here it is, Birthday Banger on Zedim. You won the lottery and died the next day It's a black fly in your chardonnay It's a death row pardon two minutes too late And isn't it ironic, don't you think? It's like rain on your wedding day. It's a free ride when you've already paid. It's the good advice that you just didn't take. And who would have thought it figures?

Mr. Play-It- it safe was afraid to fly. He packed his suitcase, kissed his kids goodbye. He waited his whole damn life to take that flight. As the plane crashed down, he felt, well Well isn't this nice And isn't it ironic Don't you think It's like readying On your wedding day

It's a free ride On your already paid Good advice That you just didn't take And who would have thought It figures Life is a funny way Of speaking up

On your mind Everything's okay And everything's going right And life is a funny way. Come again, whatever you do. Everything's going on. Everything blows up in your veins. Traffic jam when you're already late.

And no smoking sign on your cigarette break It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife It's meeting the man of my dreams And then meeting his beautiful wife And isn't it ironic? Don't you think? A little too ironic And yeah, I really do think

It's like rain on your wedding day It's a free ride on your wedding day It's the good advice that you just didn't take. And who would have thought it figures? And you, life is a funny way of speaking up on you. And you, life is a funny, funny way of helping you out. Helping you out.

ZM Brian Clint, that is Alanis Morissette and Ironic, that's the winner of Birthday Banger today. Do you understand what ironic means? Yes. How come things in that song actually aren't ironic? Because, oh God, now it's going to sound like I'm mansplaining Alanis Morissette. Because they're unfortunate coincidences, what she's talking about. She's like, when you, no, they're annoying.

That's what they are. When you want a spoon and you've got 10,000 knives, that's just frigging annoying. It's not ironic. So what's ironic then? Maybe I don't understand irony. That's all right. I don't know what a verb is.

It's a doing word, isn't it? Is it? Is it? See? Is it? Is it? It is a doing word. An adjective is a describing is. It's a doing word, isn't it? Is it? Is it? See? Is it? Is it? It is a doing word. An adjective is a describing word.

Yep. And what's a noun? No idea. It's a naming word. Who cares? I don't need that stuff. Bree and Clint. ZM's Hot Minute with KFC.

This is exciting. We've got some cash to give away because KFC's hot and spicy. A special blend of chillies and spices with the signature crunchy coating is back for a limited time at KFC. That's right. So it's pretty simple. We've got the KFC Hot Minute. You'll have a minute to answer as many questions as you can.

Each question is worth $50 a piece and also $5 chicken dollars. Oh, what a great price. I know. Renee's here. Hi, Renee. Hi, Renee. Hi. What's your general knowledge like, Renee? Oh, I don't mind watching The Chase every now and then. How good's The Chase, Renee? Have you ever yelled out the answers at The Chase, especially during

the cash builder, then you're going to be alright with this, I think. Yeah. There'll be a timer running. Bree is going to read out the questions. You can pass. You can pass on these questions, I believe. So if you don't know the answer, feel free to have a stab in the dark. If you get it wrong, we'll move on. If you pass, we'll move on as well.

Okay. All right, Renee, I'll give you, did you give her a heads up? There is some audio questions. Oh, there's some audio questions too, so make sure your phone's up nice and loud. All right, Renee, Start the minute now. Who did Forbes name the youngest self-made billionaire ever in 2019? Isn't that Kylie Jenner? That's correct.

Ross Geller got divorced four times throughout the series of Friends. True or false? False. That's correct. Who sings this song? Oh, there's no audio. Lewis Capaldi. That's correct.

What does the acronym SMH stand for? Shake My Head. That's correct. What day is Star Wars Day? May the force be with you. That's correct. Who sings this song? That's correct.

Which pop star burnt down their home gym with candles? Britney Spears. I'm going to 100% give you that one on the buzzer because there was a little bit of problem with the thing. Let's do the math. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven. Correct. Seven.

Correct. Which means you've made $350 cash and a whole stack of chicken dollars as well. That's even better. God, you killed that, Renee. Yes. You didn't drop a single question. She didn't. She got every single question right.

Oh, two guys. You were built for it. All that chase watching has done you well, Rene. No, no, mate. That is the KFC Hot Minute, and we're going to be doing it every day for the next two weeks because Hod and Spice is back at KFC for a limited time. That was fun.

It was fun. I like it. Stressful for the guy pushing the buttons and getting stuff wrong, but, you know, we'll get better at this as we go on. Do you just talk about yourself in third person? No, I don't know what you're talking about. We've got, well, I've got an ethical question to pose this afternoon. And it's to do with the lottery.

Let's just say it's to do with lotteries in general. Who would have guessed you were talking about the lottery? No, no, no. And I asked you this question and I think, I think it's valid. I think everyone will have an opinion on this. My friends got married on the weekend, Matt and Nat, and along with their wedding present,

this wasn't the present I gave them, to go with the present, I gave them a lotto ticket because they have a dream of getting some land and getting some horses and I thought, well, I can't. And I thought, yep, sure thing. I'll buy them a lotto ticket.

Yeah, right? So it's like a gesture towards it. I was like, imagine if I managed to help you achieve your dream instantly. So chuck it in there, live a little, and off you go. I realised afterwards, after I'd purchased the ticket, that the lotto draw on the weekend was for $32 million. And it got me thinking, if they had won on the lotto ticket that i'd given them

as a gift for their wedding how much would i have been happy with you should be happy with none because you bought it for a gift for them so you should be happy if they decided to give you nothing however because it was a gift however However, if they won $32 million. Listen to you. Okay, let me reframe the question then. If they won $32 million, would I expect them to give me any? Knowing you as a person, I think you would expect them to give you at least half, if not more.

Not more. No, excuse me. Not more than half. I forbid you. Not more than half. That's unfair. No, excuse me. Not more than half. Oh, if it were me. Not more than half. That's unfair. It's their gift. But, okay, take me out of the situation.

What if they gave you a quarter? Sweet. Sweet. Yeah, so you're happy with a quarter then? Yeah, I'd be happy with a quarter. Good. I'll remember that if this ever comes up in our relationship. You run the scenario for yourself.

Imagine you buy me a lotto ticket, okay? I don't know why you're buying me one. Maybe it's my birthday. It's your birthday. It's my birthday. I know, it's your favorite thing in the world. And you buy me a lotto ticket. Okay? I don't know why you're buying me one. Maybe it's my birthday. It's your birthday. It's my birthday. I know, it's your favourite thing in the world. And you know I love lotto. Yeah.

So you buy me a lotto ticket for my birthday and I win $32 million. Okay. How much would you be, how much would I need to give you to maintain our friendship? You'd have to give me half. Yeah, see?

Because it's only you and I involved. There's no one else involved. I have purchased the ticket. I could probably take you to court over it. Yeah, right. Oh, could you? No, I don't know if you could. Well, unless there was evidence of me giving it to you as a gift,

technically the only evidence would be on my credit card or my thing. The person I bought the ticket for is calling me right now. Matt, are you there? You're live on the radio, mate. How's it going, mate? Hey. Did you win the $32 million? Did you win any money on that lotto ticket?

We actually haven't checked that lotto ticket yet. Right. Well, I know you didn't win the $32 because no one did. Can I have some if you win? Yeah. Sorry, were you calling to say something in particular? I think if we had won the $32 million, there would be a massive pay off your mortgage.

Yeah. A massive... My mortgage. Pay off your mortgage. Yeah. Have a holiday for the two families and we'll see how we go. So you're saying, wait, so he's saying that he would not give you half or quarter?

I don't even have a million dollar mortgage, Matt. Like, I don't. Matt, you stingy, Matt. What I'm saying by we'll see where we go from there is that it's just the opening line. Because who knows how to deal with $32 million? Who knows? But we're just suggesting, now that you've got the ticket,

we're just suggesting that half could be fair. I'd look at a solid 12. Oh, my God. He's won. He's won it. He's won. So he's now just building the foundation. So now he's doing the negotiations retrospectively.

He's going, I haven't actually checked the ticket. He has. He goes, oh, I haven't checked the ticket. Oh, BS, Matt. I'm not buying it. Bree and Clint. COVID has changed our lives, hasn't it? It's the thing you say on the radio these days.

Is it? COVID has changed this. No, it's unprecedented times. These are unprecedented times and COVID has changed our lives. 2020. Next. There is now, it's now starting to impact music as well I mentioned just before that

Some songs are having to be banned For COVID And one Irish bar in Spain Has come out and said that the song By the great Neil Diamond Sweet Caroline Is no longer permissible in their bar I know why

Can't have it. Can't do it. This is such a good karaoke song. It is such a good karaoke song. This should be great for our Friday-okey event

in Wellington this Friday. It would be perfect because it gets the crowd going. And it's not banned here because we're sweet. You know, we did our lockdown, we're good.

Yeah, we're good to go. But you can't have Sweet Caroline anymore because of this bit. Because what do you do with your hands? Touching hands. Touching hands. And then what are those hands you do with your hands? Touching hands.

Touching hands. And then what are those hands doing after the touching hands? Reaching out. And what are they doing? Touching you. Well, they touch me.

On me. Touching you. And then they touch you. Here we go. Sweet Caroline. Ba, ba, ba. Yeah, so they've said no, sorry, no Sweet Caroline in ba ba Who tells never Yeah, so they've said no, sorry, no Sweet Caroline in the bar.

This song sounds so much better with a few drinks under your belt. Doesn't it just? Yeah. Feels like it's missing something. Oh yeah, it's 50 drunk guys in the background. That's what's missing. Ba ba ba ZM's Free in Clint The podcast with mobile smiles.
