Kia ora everybody, welcome to the Brie and Clint podcast.
There's no Brie on the podcast today, but it's explained where she is in the first...
Are we putting that in there, Ben?
In the first break?
Yeah, it's in there.
Everything's explained very shortly, you'll understand where she is.
And maybe you'll want to send her a little Instagram DM, you know, like a little feel better.
Once you understand where she is.
That's a good idea.
We did have, as you know, if you listened to last week's podcast, we had a birthday on the show over the weekend.
Happy birthday, Ellie! Thank you, over the weekend. Happy birthday, Ellie.
Thank you, guys.
27.
That is, yeah.
I couldn't attend because I have a child now and I'm incredibly boring.
But I watched some Instagram stories, a combination of Bree's, yours, and Ben's.
And it looks like your birthday party consisted of everyone watching you play SingStar.
Yeah, so it basically just turned into my own concert with all my friends watching then.
I was not complaining.
So it should.
It's your birthday.
It was great.
I'm such a Leo.
It was just you.
Oh, don't pull on the star sign to explain your selfish behavior.
I'm such a Leo, you know.
Sorry, guys.
I know that's rude, but I'm just a total Leo.
Yeah, I have to blame it on that.
We have a tradition on the show where we get each other a group birthday present,
which I'm a fan of.
One good present as opposed to three smaller presents.
Are we all on board with that method?
Yeah, definitely.
100%.
Yeah, that's good.
It's a good idea.
So Bree took charge of the present this time.
There's been a group chat going around about what to get you, Ellie,
for about a week.
Oh, okay, okay.
And we landed on...
Pardon me, that was a burp
you didn't land on a burp
that is rough
27 is rough
we got some new Converse high top
and some cookies
and a Mac voucher
so shoes and a Mac voucher
nice gift
Bree ended up pulling the trigger
on that and saying that's what we're getting
which I'm fine with.
I'm totally fine with someone taking charge.
It's fine. You needed new shoes.
I did actually. Also she played the girl card.
She said look guys, I know what she wants.
And she's come through. Do you want to know what we were
going to get you? Yes.
Because this is where Ben and I got to.
And we didn't get buy-in from Brie.
So it didn't happen. But we did get buy-in
from your partner. Yeah.
So I called your partner just to check.
I was like, hey, the lads are keen to sort this out.
Yeah.
And we said to Sam, is this what she wants?
And he said, yeah.
Definitely.
And then Bree goes, uh-uh, uh-uh.
Is it what Ellie wants or is it what Sam, your boyfriend, wants?
Okay, yeah.
By proxy.
Okay, yeah.
So we were going to get you the makeup voucher.
Yes, yeah.
That was always going to happen. Yeah. Oh, and then the second present. I have two. Okay, yeah. So we were going to get you the makeup voucher. Yes, yeah. That was always going to happen.
Yeah.
Oh, and then the second present.
I have two.
That's great.
And then the second present was going to be a new PlayStation controller.
Ah, yes.
Yes, I do need one of those.
See?
Yes.
I don't know.
But it's for Sam.
Sam would have liked them all, no?
In this offense, it's actually for me.
And I would use it if I'd got one.
See, I knew it was a good gift.
I thought it was a good, but.
But I also love my shoes.
Yeah, shoes are good.
So either way, I'm happy.
Yeah, it's fine.
Yeah.
But good idea, guys.
Yeah, thank you.
Yes.
I love gaming.
Woo.
Yeah.
No, because you only have one controller, right?
We do.
And we can't play Crash Team Racing.
So do you watch each other play?
Yeah.
Oh, God.
I knew we should have got the controller.
It would have been helpful, but it's okay.
I love the shoes too.
Yeah, we love the shoes.
I'm gutted now.
Me too.
So because we came out pretty hot, I was like, well, there it is.
It was sorted.
Yeah.
And then it came to the day before and Bree's like, no.
I was like, well, we'll change everything.
Oh, no, no, but I back her call.
It was great call.
It was great call.
But maybe she should have subbed out the makeup voucher because Bree hates a voucher.
Oh, yeah.
You better spend that frigging voucher.
It better not sit in your wallet for a year.
Do you even know where it is at the moment?
No.
Here's today's podcast, everybody.
Cutty, everybody.
Welcome to the show.
Brie and Clint.
Well, it would be Brie and Clint, but there is no Brie here today.
That's fine.
We have a doctor's certificate adverse reaction to the laser hair removal she was telling us about last week.
Oh mate.
I know, I know. It's okay, it's not embarrassing.
It's not embarrassing.
Like it's, I mean, I'm proud of her for taking care of that situation down there.
Unfortunately, the time left between procedures
meant they had to crank the laser up to 11.
Oh, no.
It's actually gone right through.
Oh, Jesus.
So they've wrapped her up in some nice cooling eucalyptus aloe vera.
Oh, she's just sitting at home in peace.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
She's just sitting in a bath.
Have you heard that after sun stuff? Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah. She's just sitting in a bath. Have you heard of that after sun stuff?
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, she's just waist deep in a pool of that.
Has been for most of the weekend.
And she'll be back when she feels like it.
And no pressure, Bree.
Absolutely no pressure whatsoever.
We do have a little inflatable thing for you to sit on when you do get back.
Cool.
That was definitely the truth.
Today on the show, your chance to go to the Bledisloe Cup.
This is cool.
This is what I call a good prize.
All Blacks versus Australia at Eden Park.
We've got two tickets up for grabs with our new game.
It's called Bledisloe Banger,
and we're going to play that after birthday banger.
Basically, we've got a commentator to do some ZM songs in a rugby voice.
It's good.
It's good.
And if you can figure out what that is, you're going for free.
Plus, the Troy Translator is on again,
a double pass to Troy Savan's Bloom World Tour.
You can score that in the next 15 minutes, actually.
We'll give you the chance to do that.
You just need to decipher the Troy Savan song
that producer Ben has ruined.
I didn't ruin it.
You did ruin it.
Today's one sounds awful.
It is really bad, actually.
It's actually offensive.
I've done my best.
It's offensive to Troy Savan what you've done.
But like I said, 15 minutes.
Don't go anywhere if you want to win a double pass to
Troye Sivan. In fact, get your mates to tune in.
Block the lines. Do whatever you need to do.
Get yourself in there. There are two tickets you and
a mate can double team this thing. But next,
what do you think New Zealand's
fittest city is? Do you live in it?
Have you just got back from like a lunchtime workout?
Are you off to the gym after
work? Do you live in New Zealand's fittest
city? Or do you live in New Zealand's
fattest city? I don't know what the
fattest one is, but I know what the fittest one is
and I can tell you what that is next. Very keen.
Text us if you think you live in the fattest city too.
I'd love to know. 9696, Bree and Clint
ZM.
ZM's Bree and Clint.
The podcast. Where is New Zealand's
fittest city?
Let's get physical. Physical. This is a bit of a dated reference. Where is New Zealand's fittest city?
This is a bit of a dated reference, Producer Ben.
It's good though, eh?
What about this?
Oh no, that's the wrong one.
What is that?
Whoa, that was meant to be that Salt-N-Pepa Push It song.
Oh my. It was like a heavy metal version.
You know, we don't need music.
This is a study done by the Otago University, Why? It was like a heavy metal version. You know, we don't need music. We don't need music.
This is a study done by the Otago University,
which has tried to figure out which city in New Zealand is the fittest.
Now, when they say fittest, it's a combination of things.
People who use public transport, walking and cycling to work.
Okay.
So that sort of thing. Gotcha.
Also, levels of air pollution determines how fit you are apparently.
So Auckland's out.
Yeah, I was going to say Auckland can't be out.
And I can tell you right now, Auckland is not the fittest city.
Good.
Despite having record levels of Lululemon sales.
Yeah, true.
Turns out the people who buy it, not necessarily exercising.
True.
That's so weird.
It's so weird, eh?
That's crazy.
All the people wearing it, though, you look fantastic.
Can I say that?
And don't stop because you look fantastic.
Did I say you look good?
No.
The fittest city in New Zealand, according to this study, is Wellington.
Christchurch.
Damn it.
No.
Christchurch.
Christchurch. Yeah. Some of the highest. No. Christchurch, Christchurch.
Yeah.
Some of the highest levels of physical activity
when it comes to their recreational activities.
So you're playing the most sports.
Yeah, good.
But Wellington is the fittest city
because there's so much walking and cycling to work.
Ah, true.
That's cool.
Yeah, because your trains never work.
How is it every second day in the news it's like,
and Wellington commuters this morning found it hard to get to work
when literally none of the trains were working again.
I don't get it.
I don't get it.
No.
But anyway, that combined with the hills,
combined with a lot of fixed gear cyclists in Wellington too.
Lots of hipster cyclists.
They do have that nice, really nice waterfront walk all the way around
that you could probably go from the city
all the way out.
Yeah,
that is beautiful.
You can easily bike it.
Yeah, yeah.
Problem is,
there's never any good
weather to do it.
So, you know.
But somehow,
you've taken the crown.
So,
home away to
Bucky Bucky Wellington.
Well done,
Wellington.
Can't beat Wellington
on a good day.
Let's go to LA
for the latest.
Kyoto D. McCarthy, how you doing? How's Hollywood today? Let's go to LA for the latest. From iHeartRadio, this is The Latest. Live from LA with Dean McCarthy.
Kia ora, Dean McCarthy.
How you doing?
How's Hollywood today?
Hello, Cleen.
Look, Hollywood is abuzz.
Everyone's excited for the release of the new Once Upon a Time in Hollywood film.
Are you pumped for it, Cleen?
Are you pumped?
I am.
I love a good Quentin Tarantino film,
and I can't wait to see this one.
People are saying it's some of his best work, right?
Absolutely. I couldn't agree more. Let me just tell you the ingredients for this film, and I can't wait to see this one. People are saying it's some of his best work, right? Absolutely.
I couldn't agree more.
Let me just tell you the ingredients for this film, okay?
It is star-studded.
Leo DiCaprio, add a little cup of Brad Pitt, a little smidge of Margot Robbie, and stir
it in a Quentin Tarantino hit.
This is his ninth film.
The red carpet in Hollywood was red hot, as you can imagine.
Even Britney Spears was there.
Seeing Britney Spears out in the wild, Clint,
was the highlight of my life.
Yeah.
It was the highlight of my life.
But the second highlight was catching up with Brad Pitt.
Here we are on the red carpet with Brad Pitt.
As Brad Pitt tells us, this is his ninth film,
Quentin Tarantino, and he's kind of mashed all of them together.
Check this out.
The beautiful thing about this one,
it seems to be a confluence of all his films.
There's a little bit of
vernacular from Jackie Brown to
Pulp to Bastards
to Django. It seems like accumulation
of everything and it's pretty wonderful.
What's your favourite Quentin Tarantino film, Dean?
Still
the Kill Bills. I can't go past
Kill Bill 1 and 2. Yeah, they're my
favourites for sure. But this one is incredible.
And, you know, the cool thing about this film is it's like a blend of fact and fiction.
It talks about the Manson murders, which, of course, Sharon Tate was murdered in.
That is what Margot Robbie played.
But it's a fictional character as well, played by Leo DiCaprio.
Check it out.
I think it's in New Zealand cinemas probably next week.
Yeah, I think it's late next week that it comes out.
Also, you've got news on how much Kylie Jenner is spending on her birthday party.
Try $2.4 million just to rent a yacht for two weeks.
So she's renting this super yacht, you know, not just a regular yacht, a super yacht.
It seats 22 people.
All of her friends and family are going to fly out.
It's somewhere like in Morocco or something.
And yeah, two and a half million bucks just to rent the boat.
That's not including catering, Clint.
Not including the champagne.
So that's a lot of money.
If I was dropping that much money on my own birthday party,
I'd be really worried about who my real friends were, you know?
And also, if I was a guest, what sort of gift do you bring?
If you know that the host is splashing out almost $3 million on the party,
what are you going to bring?
Am I going to bring you like a $100 Prezi card or something like that?
It's really not going to make a dent.
Hmm.
Okay.
Interesting.
We'll wait for the Instagram photos.
That's Dean McCarthy live from Hollywood.
ZM Spree and Clint, the podcast.
Bars around New Zealand are reporting a dramatic spike in patronage
over the weekend as Dry July came to an end.
That's it, another Dry July done and dusted.
And you might think that people don't really do it,
but this year New Zealanders have raised more money for Dry July
than ever before, breaking the $1 million mark for the first time.
That's very cool.
So, Hallmides Buggy Buggy New Zealand, well done.
That's awesome.
Well, proud of you guys.
Whether they actually stuck to it or not,
I mean, what you do in the privacy of your own home,
I don't really care.
No.
I don't.
As long as you don't post about it.
As long as you don't post about it
and as long as you don't jeopardise the actual money.
Yes.
Like, cheat if you want to.
It's like the 40-hour famine, you know?
Yeah.
No one's going to know. It's true the 40-hour famine, you know? Yeah. No one's going to know.
It's true.
So long as the starving kids get the money.
And Dry July, the money goes towards helping New Zealanders living with cancer.
So it is a great cause.
Yeah, that's awesome.
Have you guys ever done Dry July before?
No.
No, I haven't.
The only month thing I've ever done was Movember.
Oh, yeah.
Says the guy with the moustache year-round.
Yeah, but I only shave it in November. That's not how Movember. Oh, yeah. Says the guy with the moustache year round.
Yeah, but I only shave it in November.
That's not how Movember works.
I mean, do you have a moustache in Movember?
I don't get that.
Is it though?
I thought you shaved it on day one and then it's the progress.
Anyway, back to Dry July.
Do you want to know who's raised the most money?
What communities?
Yes.
So this hasn't broken it down into cities
because that's not fair.
Obviously, Auckland is going to smash
somewhere like Hastings
with its sheer population. And of auckland are alcoholics so um no the
results have been broken down into areas so what i've got is the top five areas actually let's go
six so christchurch can get a shout out as well um uh papanoi and christchurch came in six nice
the good people of papanoi raised $12,000 this year.
That's awesome.
Arch Hill in Auckland, your old hood, Ben, where you used to live.
$12,000 as well raised from Arch Hill.
Nice.
Which is right on the border of Ponsonby and Kingsland.
You've got a lot of temptation living in that area.
A lot of bars.
Let's go to the shore where Ellie lives in fourth place, Bruns Bay.
Oh, yes.
Nice.
Yes, Bruns Bay.
Home of the South Africans.
Yes.
Would have thought they would have fallen off the wagon
with that draw with the All Blacks the other week,
but no, they managed to hold on and raise $12,400.
Gizzy?
Gizzy did well in Dry July.
Nice.
Who would have thought?
Yeah.
$12,600.
Mount Vic in Wellington raised $13,600. Mount Vic and Wellington Race, $13,700.
And the winning community for Dry July 2019 is Timaru.
Really?
Tim is.
Today, tomorrow, Timaru.
Well done.
$15,980 coming out of the community there.
Well done.
That's awesome.
That's close to Christchurch, so I'll take that.
Yeah, sure.
It's South Christchurch, isn't it?
Yeah, it is. South, South Christchurch. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's awesome. That's close to Christchurch so I'll take that. Yeah, sure. It's South Christchurch, isn't it? Yeah, it is. South, South Christchurch.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. We claim it. Did you also know that in
Dry July you can have a night off for $25?
No, you can't. That's not true.
No, you can. No, you can't. You can get what's called a
golden ticket and it's $25
and it means that you can go out and drink.
What, and you put your own money towards the...
Yeah, or someone can buy it for you. If I really want to
go out with you and you're like
I can't bro, I'm doing Dry July,
I'll go $25.
I buy it, it goes onto your account,
and boom, you've got the night off.
Interesting, I didn't know that rule.
I don't know if you can buy it retrospectively,
like if you accidentally fail,
and then can you just buy a golden ticket?
So you can just donate $100 of your own money
and be like, that's my every weekend for Dry July.
The money still goes to the course,
so I guess it doesn't really matter.
Exactly.
There you go.
If you did give it a go, congratulations.
No, you deserve a drink.
It's 4.20, so please welcome to the studio
the founder of the new segment, Buzzy G,
producer Ellie.
Buzzy G. Thank you for having me. It's great to be here. Explain what Buzzy G producer Ellie Buzzy G
thank you for having me
it's great to be here
explain what Buzzy G is
basically I just give you
some buzzy facts
and it's just going to
blow your mind hopefully
we had to introduce
this feature to Bree
last week
when we were both
back together
for the first time
because we'd only done it
without her
and we're a team
so we have to sell her on
she has to sell us
on her ideas
and vice versa
when we played her the sting, she goes,
why is there jazz on the front of it?
It's not jazz.
It's the start of a Bob Marley song.
AKA the buzziest guy we know.
So that's where that part of it comes from.
Now I've set you a challenge today, producer Ellie.
I don't want just generic buzzy facts today.
I've given you a topic.
You have.
Now, the Rugby World Cup is coming up.
Also, today on the show, we're giving away tickets to All Blacks vs Wallabies at Eden Park.
That's at 5.40.
Plus, I love rugby and there's no one to stop me today.
So, I thought, let's rugby theme it.
And I thought, holy crap,
I don't know anything.
So I want from you today
five buzzy rugby facts.
Okay, all right.
I've got some,
I've done some research guys.
All right.
Did you know that originally
when rugby became a thing,
tries had no value.
It just allowed the attacking team
to try for a goal.
Buzzy G.
Did you know that?
Oh.
Wow.
We might kick the whistle, we might not.
That is good.
Isn't that interesting?
So you only scored a try so you could have a kick at goal?
Yes.
Wow.
So running across the line was not actually a thing really.
Good.
I like it.
Okay, give me another one.
You like that?
Yeah, yeah.
Okay, cool.
That's good.
Did you know that USA are still the Rugby Olympic World Champions?
Are they?
Yes.
Now, it's because we haven't had Rugby at the Olympics since 1924,
and they last won it.
So they're technically the Buzzy Jams.
No, the whistle's gone.
No more whistle.
Right.
Yeah.
Bring it back.
Bring it back, right?
They've got sevens now, but they don't have traditional.
I was going to say, didn't we have the sevens? Yeah. We didn't win it anyway. No, no. Okay, cool. I'll give you that one. Okay, your. Yeah. Bring it back. Bring it back, right? They've got sevens now, but they don't have traditional. I was going to say, didn't we have the sevens?
Yeah.
We didn't win it anyway, so.
No, no.
Okay, cool.
I'll give you that one.
Okay, your next one.
I wonder if the USA, I think they are at the World Cup, aren't they?
Yeah, they're at the World Cup.
So the same whistle has been used to kick off the first game of every rugby World Cup in history.
Has it?
Really?
That's disgusting.
Yes.
So, let me expand. World Cup in history. Has it? Really? That's disgusting. Yes. Now that's Buzzy G.
So, let me expand.
The Gil Evans whistle
was first ever used
by a Welshman referee
called Gil Evans
in a game between
England and New Zealand
in 1905.
Yeah.
And since then,
every World Cup,
which we've had eight of them,
the first game to kick off
uses that whistle.
But there wasn't a World Cup.
The first World Cup was in 1987.
Yes.
So he passed it to another guy called Albert Freethy, and he used it for a while, and then
it came into 1987.
Ew, so it's like a 100-year-old whistle with all these grotty riffs of yours.
Yeah, and it now lives in the Palmerston North Museum of Rugby.
What, and they just bring it back out for every...
It'd have to be wood.
Is it wood?
No, actually, it's like silver.
There's some photos in there, too.
It's tin.
That one, yeah.
Gross.
So let's see if it comes out in 2019.
It has to.
It has to, right?
Did you know...
Okay, what is this?
Is this number four?
It's four, and then one more.
This is Buzzy G rugby facts that we're doing today on the show.
Did you know singing national anthems before sports games
started at a rugby game between New Zealand and Wales in 1905?
Did we invent that?
So what happened was the New Zealand team did the haka
and the Wales team were like,
well, we're going to sing our national anthem.
And so then the whole stadium started singing with them
and it became a tradition for the two countries to do that.
And the Welsh are very good at singing.
Yeah, that is good.
I like that.
Yeah, and your last one.
One more.
Blow us out of the water.
All right.
Did you know that the original rugby balls
who were invented by Richard Linden and William Gilbert,
yes, Gilbert.
Gilbert is in the balls.
Yep, still the same guy.
They were originally made out of pig splatters.
Yeah.
Yeah, I did know that.
Did you know that?
And that is disgusting.
It is, eh?
Buzzy G. So the lining was a pig splatter, and you had to have a job. Yeah, I did know that. Did you know that? And that is disgusting. It is, aye.
So the lining was a pig's bladder,
and you had to have a job.
It was a lady, the wife of one of the guys,
she would blow up these pig's bladders,
and that's why they had the shape that they had initially.
Why are we giving that job to a woman?
I know, do you know what? It's an awful job to have to do.
Bonus fact.
You're not allowed to play,
but here, blow up this dead pig bladder.
And then contract a lung disease from doing that and die.
What?
Yes, that's how she died.
Oh, that's a good fact.
She got a pig bladder lung infection.
Yeah, and she died of a lung disease.
And we named the ball after him and not her.
How dare they?
There you go.
Buzzy G.
ZM Spree and Clint, the podcast. But we do have producer Ben in the studio this afternoon
Hi mate
Good afternoon mate
You're pissed off
Yeah a little bit
Yeah a little tiny bit pissed off
He came into our prep meetings and he goes
Guys my parents have spent my bloody inheritance
Yeah I think they might have yeah
Right
Now inheritance is a funny old conversation.
I don't know if it's the inheritance part,
but it's definitely a lot of money that they're like,
I don't know, you know, what's going on here?
And you're already looking at them going,
look guys, tick tocks, that money's going to be mine soon.
Can you be careful what you spend it on?
Yeah, exactly.
Talk us through, why do you think that they've spent it?
Okay, here's the story.
A while ago, me and my partner broke up a while ago.
Yes.
So all of that happened.
And then my parents were like,
well, you're not going to get married.
We've given all this money to your sister for her wedding.
I was like, oh, great.
She said, maybe you could spend that in another way.
What?
You're not going to get married ever?
No.
I was like, okay, Mum.
Because one of your relationships fell through.
Yeah, I was like, oh, well, that's gutting.
Anyway, fast forward to last week.
Aren't they meant to go, you'll find someone.
And when you do, we have this money set aside for your wedding.
Exactly.
Fast forward, last week, I get a call.
We've bought a house.
I was like, hang on a minute.
Yeah.
What's going on here?
That's cool though, that's cool.
They might not have anything to do with each other.
Yeah.
Very suspicious.
I mean, it's interesting timing.
Did your parents think that you were going to get married to your last partner?
Was that the thing?
I'm not sure.
Because parents do do that.
They start making plans for you and they'll go, well, this is obviously going to happen.
So we'll have to squirrel some money away over here.
Nice that they were even thinking about contributing to your wedding because that's not something
that they have to do.
I think it was because they were on the thought of my sister already.
Yeah.
Well, we're putting this aside for her.
Yeah.
How much are they giving your sister for her wedding?
I won't say.
Why not?
It's not important.
The money is not important.
Okay.
How much as a percentage of the total wedding cost are they giving?
I'm not even sure about that.
You don't know how much your sister's wedding is going to cost?
I have no idea.
Right.
Would you be angry if they were paying for more than 50% of the wedding?
No.
I don't think. Considering that you're now getting of the wedding? No, I don't think...
Considering that you're now getting nothing?
Yeah, I don't know.
Do you think you should have...
I mean, again, inheritance is weird.
It's the savings money that you shouldn't bank on,
but it's there for you when your parents die.
That's the grimmest part of it.
Take the wedding part out of it.
Yeah, take all that.
Yeah, it's like...
It just seemed all... I was like, what's going on here,, take all that. Yeah. It's like, it just seemed all,
I was like,
what's going on here,
mum?
Like, hang on a minute.
Where's the house?
Oh, it's in this really
nice place just out of Christ.
It's quite flash, Ben.
I was like,
how much are you
spending on this?
Do you think they should
have given you the money
for like a breakup trip?
Like an eat, pray, love
so you could have gone
on like a find yourself
contiki?
Keen.
They're like,
no, wedding or nothing.
We can't come to a contiki
we're going to bring
all of our friends
to your wedding

What did your parents spend your inheritance on? Or what do you think your parents are spending your inheritance on?
Like, are you looking at some flashy-ass purchase
that your parents has just made and you're going,

or something like that?
Yeah, true.
Because that's what it feels like to me.

Yeah, 0800DARLZM.
This is a weird question.
We're going to ask it anyway.
You can text us on 9696.
What did your parents spend your inheritance on?
Bree and Clint, the podcast.
ZM.
Bree's away.
Producer Ben's in the studio.
God, you've pissed some people off, Ben.
Oh, have I?
You have really upset some people.
You spoil little millennial brat.
Thinking that you deserve some kind of inheritance from your parents.
Look, we're just joking, okay?
We're just having a bit of a laugh.
Yeah.
Ben's parents have told him that,
seeing as he's never getting married,
that they're going to give the money to his sister instead for her wedding.
You've been broken up for like two weeks, right?
Yeah.
Yeah, a bit long.
And we've taken a bit of creative license there as well, right?
I know your dad's listening.
Yeah, he knows.
It's just there's coincidences going on.
It's definitely probably not true.
And Ben's dad, if you are listening,
I know that if he could maybe get a new car or like a motorbike or something,
it would help with the breakup.
No.
Like it would.
Wouldn't it make you feel better?
No.
Not new-new, just like.
Yeah. So we're make you feel better? No. Not new-new, just like. Yeah.
No.
So we're asking you this afternoon,
what did your parents spend your inheritance on?
And we're joking, okay?
We're just having a bit of a...
Yeah.
But also, are you keeping a tab?
Yeah, that's true.
Brett is here.
Hey, Brett.
Hey, big poppy.
What did you just say?
Big poppy. Big Papi.
Big Papi.
Oh, what's going on?
I love it when you call me Big Papi.
I know, I know.
What did your parents spend your inheritance on?
A small man.
He's got a new wife, which is all good.
Sick a new wife.
Anyway, my sister, he paid for her university
around the world a couple of times.
And then she's got a real high-paying job in Auckland now.
And he's like, oh, cool.
Here's a three-story house in Rimuera.
Whoa.
And then my half-brother, he's like two,
and he's got two businesses in Australia,
some sugar plantation companies.
And I live in Wellington as a plumber and bought my own house.
And it's by myself with no sense.
There's nothing really there.
Not that you're keeping a tab or anything.
No, not at all.
Not like you're counting or anything.
It's not important, is it, Brett?
No, it's not like I care, but I do, you know.
I love it how you refer to her as your dad's second new wife as well.
Yeah.
It's not new.
She hates my gut.
There's so many.
But, Brett, you're a plumber. You've got to trade for hates my guts. There's so many. But Brett,
you're a plumber.
You've got to trade for life.
Okay.
You're absolutely suited.
Yeah,
exactly.
Your sister,
her job could fall over tomorrow.
You,
you're stable.
She works for the government
as like a consultant
kind of thing
and she's needed for every week.
I won't say what she does
because it's quite obvious,
but she gets paid like twice
or three times as much as me.
Again, not that you're counting.
Not that we're counting.
Poor Brett.
God, he's really struggling.
You would look at the ring on your dad's second new wife and go,
hmm, large chunk of my inheritance in there.
Hi, Erica.
Hi, Brett.
Sorry.
That was Brett.
He's gone.
What did your parents spend your inheritance on?
That's all right.
My parents actually blew my whole inheritance,
so I have no drop of money at all.
How did they do that?
They spent it all on a full 12 months of membership for the gym.
They bought a new pool, and they bought themselves a new car.
That's sick.
Your parents are living lavish.
I love it.
Sure.
I got suspicious about that humongous big package in the backyard.
Yeah, true.
I mean, there's a lot to be said for that.
12-month gym membership.
I mean, it doesn't sound like you had a lot of inheritance there to begin with.
And we'll go to Tessa.
Hey, Tessa.
Hi, Clint.
How are you?
Going well.
What did your parents spend your inheritance on?
Well, not that they
spent it. It's that
they almost lost it. Now, these are
my grandparents who I'm considered a daughter
because I'm the eldest grandchild.
They were really sick and recently
went into hospital and went into a home
from there. And then one day
my grandmother just calls my mum
out of the blue and is like,
dear, I completely and utterly forgot you need to go into the bathroom and um in the house and
go under the sink because there's an envelope of thirty thousand dollars under there um and this is
like when the house is getting sold and the house is going to get bulldozed
so no one knew a thing about this except for them.
And they almost lost $30,000.
Holy shit!
I forgot about it.
Put it in a bag.
This is like the banana stand on Arrested Development.
Yes it is.
That's exactly what it is.
Okay, hang on.
This deserves a drumroll.
Did we find the envelope before the house got bulldozed?
We certainly did.
Oh, thank God.
Oh, thank God.
Far out.
Teach your...
Oh, my God.
Teach your grandparents about a term deposit.
Please, Tessa.
That is stressful.
There's a Facebook status that has gone viral,
and this might resonate with you.
Do you hate kids at the movies?
Yeah. Look, it's... Well... Sorry. Do you hate kids at the movies? Yeah.
Look, it's a, well.
Sorry.
Okay.
Producer Ben, that's okay.
You put your cards on the table.
People normally are a little bit more reluctant to come forward.
Oh, okay.
But maybe this has opened a conversation for you.
There is a guy called Hikaweta Ferris
whose Facebook status has gone viral
saying that he doesn't want kids at The Lion King.
Controversial.
Arguably, the Lion King is for them.
Yeah, true.
But then also arguably it's for us who grew up with the Lion King
to go and watch the new one.
Who is it really for?
Let me read you his Facebook status update,
which has really taken on a life of its own.
Hikaweta said,
To all the parents in Porirua, please
do not take your kids
to the movies tomorrow night to
watch Lion King.
It's the holidays, so take them
during the day when us adults
are at mahi, or work.
After five is our time.
100 emoji.
Yes. I have no dramas
telling your tamariki to...
Now I want to get this right.
I have no problem telling your tamariki
to shut the whakarongotai up
if they're making unnecessary noise.
Don't ruin my time with Mufasa and Simbucks.
Said with love.
So that status, like I said, has gone all over the place.
And whether you like it or not, it's got to the top.
And event cinemas have come out and announced,
and they said, yeah, you know what, Hikaweta?
You're right.
We're going to do an adult-only screening of The Lion King.
Love it.
Nice.
So no kids allowed.
It's R18.
You have to show your ID to go to the event cinema screening of The Lion King. Does it. Nice. So no kids allowed. It's R18. You have to show your ID
to go to the
event cinema screening
of the Lion King.
Does that mean
they serve alcohol?
They could.
Yeah.
They totally could.
Yeah, they could have
a bar in there.
Love it.
There could be a nude scene
inside the Lion King.
Well, arguably
the whole thing's nude
actually.
Which is weird
because you think
it might just be
for adults to view it.
I've actually done
a bit of digging on this
and I found out
that not only is it a special screening,
it's a special adult-only version of the film.
So they cut one, a separate version,
that they don't want kids to see,
and now that this status has got out there,
people can finally see this uncensored version of The Lion King.
And I know people, okay?
I know people, and I've managed to get some clips for this.
This is the new Lion King, but not people okay I know people and I've managed to get some clips for this okay this is the new Lion King but not the one
you might have seen
this is the adults only version Nala Crikey
Beyonce
It's not just the songs either
Like the whole script is actually adults only
This is a scene featuring Timon and Pumbaa
Where they first lay eyes on Simba
I missed him!
I'm gonna get one of those vultures one day.
I'm gonna get one.
I don't know why it's so important to you.
I just feel like it would make me feel better.
Oh no, it's a f***ing lion!
That is not a lion.
Well then go check it out, what is it?
That is not a lion, it's a f***er!
It looks like a lion.
Alright, let me see what we're dealing with here.
It's a lion!
Run for your life, Pumbaa!
Wait, Timon, wait, Timon, wait!
It's a f***ing lion! It wait wait it's a lion it gets bigger filthy absolutely
filthy thank god it's r18 yeah and you don't want to see what scar gets up to in this one too
oh no there you go if that's a bit of you um event cinemas there you go r18 screenings of
the lion king this sunday night definitely real you've been warned. Bree and Clint, the podcast.
ZM.
I did want to share a bit of an awkward story that happened to me over the weekend.
And I thought I could,
I'm going to tell you guys and my friends, it's fine.
You know those things that are popping up at the moment
called refilleries?
Have you heard of a refillery?
Yes.
Oh, like with the, you go there with your own jar.
Bring your own jars.
You put like chocolate or nuts or like coconut and all that.
Whatever, everything.
It's very, it's good for the environment not actually a new idea like bin and i've been
doing it for for decades yeah what happened to bin in they're still around yeah but they should be
like with the way we're all going with the environment and stuff binning should be like
the cool place to go right yeah anyway there's this real hipster one that's just opened um
at the shopping center down the road from me and I like to think
that I'm environmentally conscious
and I thought
this is me
I'm going to get in there
I'm going to see
what I can get
see if I can stop
buying my pasta
and plastic bags
stuff like that
you know
make a change
for the world
and I was looking around
they've got amazing stuff
in there
all sorts of things
and there's a section there
that had like the
the jars that you can buy.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
And then it also had reusable drink bottles.
But you can bring your own jars or your own bottles and stuff.
You can bring your own jars.
Yeah, you can use your own jars like an old pasta sauce jar.
It doesn't matter.
You can actually use whatever you want.
You can just use a plastic Tupperware if you want.
Oh, okay.
Anyway, I was looking at Keep Cups.
And I was looking at this cup and I picked it up
and it said
reusable cup
I was like
oh yeah cool
and it had
it actually had
cool packaging on it
which I know
goes against the concept
of the store
but it was cardboard packaging
and I was looking at it
and I was like
oh actually
I do need a new keep cup
and I was looking
at this thing
and I was trying
to figure it out
trying to open it up and it said
reusable cup on it
I said to Lucy
my wife, I was like this is
I think this is what I'm after but I can't
see, I can't get it open to see
if this is the one that I'm looking for
she took it off me and she goes put that down
and I said why
why do I need to put it down, she goes just put it down
I was like come on, why are you being I need to put it down? She said, just put it down. I was like, come on.
Why are you being weird about this?
She turned it around.
It was a moon cup.
Oh, my God.
Reusable cup.
You did not put that in your mouth.
Reusable moon cup.
To be fair, it does look like it would hold like an espresso.
Yeah.

So I'll play along
When I hear that special song
I'm gonna be the one who gets it right
You better know
When you're swinging round the room
Look like magic's only on the night
But I don't feel like dancing when the old gentleman plays
My heart could take a chance, but my two feet can't find a way
You'd think that I could muster up a little soft shoe tennis play
But I don't feel like dancing, no sir, no dancing today
Don't feel like dancing, dancing
Even if I find that the best I do
Don't feel like dancing, dancing Watchin' find that the best to do Don't feel like dancing, dancing
Watchin' Rick and Terry when I'm out of the mood
Don't feel like dancing, dancing
Riding the howl with the one in the band that died with you City's come and city's gone
Just like the old empires
When all you do is change your clothes
And it goes that first style
You've got so many colors, make a blind man so confused
Then why can't I keep up when you're the only thing I lose?
So why just pretend that I know which way to bend?
I'm gonna tell the whole world that you're mine
So please understand when I see you clap your hands
You stick around, I'm sure that you'll find
But I don't feel like dancing when you're in a place
My heart could take a chance, but my two feet can't find a way
You think that I could muster up a little soft, sheer, gentle sway
But I don't feel like dancing
No sir, no dancing today
Don't feel like dancing, dancing
Even if I find that the best to do
Don't feel like dancing, dancing
Watchin' Rick and Sam when I'm lovin' the mood
Don't feel like dancing, dancing
Right at the heart with the one in the bed
That's down with you I can't decide what you'll do
You can't make me dance around But your two-step makes my chest pound
Just lay me down
As you float away into the shimmer light
But I don't feel like dancing when the old town winter plays
My heart could take a chance but my two feet can't find a way
You'd think that I could muster up a little soft shoe tennis play
But I don't feel like dancing, no sir, no dancing today
Don't feel like dancing, dancing, dancing, dancing
Don't feel like dancing, dancing, dancing, dancing ZM, Brie and Clint, that is the winner of Birthday Banger for Chris.
That's a good winner too.
That's the Scissor Sisters and I Don't Feel Like Dancing.
I've just been doing
A bit of reflection
On Birthday Banger recently
Because
What do we have today
We had Seal
Bob Sinclair
And Scissors Sisters
Which is good
Like that's a good
Like range
Yeah
We've had quite a lot
Of Black Eyed Peas
Come up recently
You know what I think
Birthday Banger is missing
And why doesn't this guy
Come up more often
Considering how big
He's been in the past?
Where's Robbie Williams?
Interesting.
It's a great question.
Where is Robbie Williams?
With a back catalogue like his,
surely...
He had some number ones.
Yeah, surely there's people listening
who were 16
when Robbie Williams was at number one.
I'd say you're right.
What are we looking for here, Ben?
He has had one in the New Zealand charts.
Only one?
Well, I've only got one at the moment in front of me.
Yeah.
It was the Rock DJ.
Oh, yeah, I don't want that one.
Oh, okay.
And yeah, where's Wimmy Williams apart from that song?
Basically, where's Angels is what I want to know.
Good question.
Right?
Yeah.
It was never in the New Zealand charts.
Really?
Really.
Are you serious? And this charts go back to 1975. It was never in the New Zealand charts. Really? Really. Are you serious?
And this chart's going back to 1975.
Okay, I've got a new idea.
We start a campaign to get Rory Williams' Angels to number one in the charts.
Yeah, I reckon we could do it.
Really?
You reckon?
There's another one that's Something Stupid with Nicole Kidman.
Oh, yes.
That's fine.
From Swing When You're Winning.
Oh, here it is.
It's huge. From Swing When You're Winning. Oh, here it is. It's huge.
Nah.
Just a snap poll.
Do you think we could get this to number one?
Do you think we should bother getting this to number one?
Nine, six, nine, six.
Yes or no?
We'd have to try really hard to do it.
We'd have to campaign.
But then we'd also have to rely on a caller
exactly today or whenever it was
to call up and get it.
No, if we got it to number one,
it wouldn't go into birthday banger for 16 years.
But that's all right.
We're laying the groundwork now.
Imagine how much fun that'll be in 16 years when we get that call.
Bree and Clint, the podcast.
ZM.
Let's play Bledisloe Bangers.

I will
ZM Spree and Clint
the podcast
I asked for a taxi
or an Uber driver
to call 0800
dial ZM
because we've got a question
we've got one here.
Jermic?
Yep, that's me. Are you a taxi
or an Uber driver? Uber driver.
Uber driver. Okay. Do you mind staying on
hold for a second so that you can answer our
question for us? Yep, yep, sure.
Okay. This came from producer Ellie
and it got me thinking that I don't know
the answer to this either and I don't think
anybody does. No.
The question that you found from Reddit is,
when you're in a taxi by yourself, where do you sit?
Do you go in the front or do you sit in the back?
Because I realised for so long I was just sitting in the front,
sitting in the front.
And then I read something saying that you meant to sit in the back.
And then I thought, maybe that's a bit safer, but also less invasive for the driver maybe.
It's a very layered question.
Yeah.
Because you've got multiple things to think about.
There's etiquette.
Like when I get in, I don't want to be rude.
No.
Like I don't want to sit in the back and be like, you drive me now.
Yeah, exactly.
But then at the same time, that's exactly what you're paying for.
Yes, yeah.
But then I don't want to sit in the front if it's invading their personal space.
Exactly.
But then I don't want to, yeah, you know. Yeah, it's really hard. personal space exactly but then I don't wanna yeah you know
yeah it's really hard
like I just don't know
what the answer is
but I don't
but also then
there's safety to think about
not just for you
as a passenger
like if you're
especially for females
are you safer
to sit in the back
arguably yes
yeah
but as a driver
do you feel safer
if we sit in the back
as well
exactly
or do you want us
to jump up front
and be like
sup man
can I change
your radio station
yeah let's be mates
where do you sit first of all before we go to Jamaica and find out the answer what do you I've now started up front and be like, sup man, can I change your radio station? Yeah, let's be mates. Where do you sit?
First of all, before we go to Jermic and find out the answer,
what do you...
I've now started going at the back.
Because I thought...
Back what?
Usually back left because that's where I get on the car side.
And then you can see, so you can see each other,
so you're not directly behind him.
No.
Directly behind the driver is awkward.
Yeah, kind of.
Yeah, no, that's weird.
And we're talking about just you in the car.
Yeah, yeah.
Just you in the car.
Just you in the car, yeah.
Oh my God, we're finally going to get an answer to this question.
I want to know what Jermic thinks.
He's here.
Hi.
Are you still there, Jermic?
Yes.
Once and for all.
Actually, let's build this up a little bit.
Where do you want us to sit?
Next to the driver.
Ah, okay.
You do want us to sit in the front?
Yes.
Why?
Because it feels familiar for the driver to be sitting next to him.
Yeah.
Do you know what I mean?
Yeah, yeah.
The driver will be comfortable.
Otherwise, just like you said, like you're paying to drive you,
but then on the other side, if you sit next to the driver,
the driver can feel safe as well.
You can change the radio station.
You can use the aux if the driver has the aux cord.
Yeah.
You can use the charger.
Yeah.
Nice. You're a cool Uber driver. I like that. Yeah. You can use the charger. Yeah. Nice.
Oh, you're a cool Uber driver.
I like that.
Hey, Jim, five stars, man.
I've got a big sub in my Uber.
Oh, big sub.
Dope, six stars.
Yeah.
Do you give me five stars back?
Oh, yeah, sure.
Yeah, sorry, five stars.
Bree and Clint, the podcast.
ZM. If you were planning
on taking a holiday soon and Mexico
is on your list maybe you need to listen up
because there is
one beach there in particular which
has been called in the past one of the most
beautiful beaches in the entire world
and now it's
not in such good condition
and the beaches you might know it from Instagram
you might also know it if you follow the Kardashians.
The Kardashians in the past have been to this beach a lot.
It's Tulum.
T-U-L-U-M.
Tulum.
Have you guys ever heard of it?
I haven't, but I might recognize it if I saw it.
The name rings a bell.
Yeah.
It's very Instagram Mexico.
And I know that because I've been there.
So you've been to the beach?
Yeah.
We stayed on that beach
right along it. It's like this
weird sub-community that is
just for tourists. It's not
real Mexico. It's like
I said, it's Instagram Mexico.
There's guards at one end with guns
and like a gate and then when you go through
the whole beach is lined with resorts
and they're very fancy.
But they've got a rotten seaweed problem and so up onto whole beach is lined with resorts and they're very fancy. Interesting. But they've got a rotten seaweed problem.
And so up onto the beach is coming, and I don't mean a small amount of seaweed,
like a crazy amount of seaweed.
We were there maybe three years ago and it was a problem then.
It had just started and it did smell a bit.
But tourists are going there now.
And this is a report from Tulum Beach, the former most beautiful beach in the world.
In Miami today, it's not just people crowding the beach.
This is a lot of seaweed. Like, it's a lot.
This is not what I was expecting.
The last few months, it has been smelling kind of weird.
Stinky seaweed piling up.
The seaweed just gets trapped in the ends of her hair.
It's just not normal to have all this stuff around you when you're in the water.
I can confirm it is yuck.
Did you swim at the beach?
Yeah, we did.
Did you?
Just go through the seaweed.
The seaweed in the water is worse at different times of the day.
Like it comes up with the tides and stuff and you get in there.
But it is all over the beach and stuff.
Without the seaweed, would it have been just a beautiful beach?
It would have been one of the most incredible beaches I've ever been to in my life.
Because like I said, it's resorts and taco stands.
It's everything that you want, like buckets of Corona and that sort of stuff on the beach.
But the seaweed smells like rotting ass.
When I was there, they were trying to rake it up and get it off the beach.
There were crews there, but it was coming in faster than they could deal with it.
There's Mayan ruins around, cenotes, which are like freshwater springs,
and you can go diving with turtles.
Really?
You can do that.
There's no seaweed in there.
If Tulum is on your list.
Beware.
Beware.
Go if you like seaweed.
If you love seaweed, here's a place for you.
Like I said, the stench of rotting...
Yeah.
Anyway, that's your travel advice.
ZM Spree and Clint, the podcast.
Producer Ellie's here.
Hi.
Hello.
How's it going?
You've got a story about boomers going wild.
Oh, she did go a little bit wild.
By boomers, we mean baby boomers.
Yeah.
And just one in particular.
And this is not the fun kind.
This is not boomers spend their kids' inheritance on a P&O cruise around the Mediterranean,
which I'm all for.
Go out, do that, live your best life.
Yeah.
This is an angry baby boomer.
With a very strong opinion.
She's waltzed on in to a vegan cafe in Wellington and basically just abused the owner for a number
of reasons, but mainly for one.
And I'll just let you play the audio clip.
So this is a lady in a Wellington cafe last week.
You should be banned because you're evil,
because iron is absolutely vital for the brain for growing children.
You can't come into our shop and just abuse me and my team.
Yes, I can. I've got abuse.
You called us f***ers.
Of course, because if you're not getting the tryptophan
to keep your brain in good order,
what else can you expect?
We're doing as existing as a vegan cafe.
You've just come in randomly screaming at my team.
You shouldn't.
Well, I'm going to post this on social media.
I'll post it on social media and I hope people learn that vegan is dangerous.
Vegan?
She says vegan is dangerous. I just And she says, vegan is dangerous.
I just love the way she says vegan.
She's gone viral.
So she's just angry at the fact
that they are a vegan cafe, right?
Or vegan, as she says.
I love that line.
She says,
I'm not abusing you.
She goes,
you just called us if-wits.
She goes, well, yes.
Well, if you're not getting the tryptophan
your brain needs,
then of course you are one.
Oh, bless.
People get so angry. Yeah. People get so angry.
Yeah, like-
People get so angry about anyone's diet.
Like, why is it affecting you?
I understand she might have some good points about the diet stuff, but you don't have to
go and abuse someone.
Ben didn't talk to me for a week when he found out I was vegetarian.
That's true.
Seriously, it almost cost us our friendship.
I was like, what happened to my mate?
Yeah.
Will you wait till I go vegan, mate?
Oh.
