Starting point is 00:00:00 Brie. Sexy. Eclat. Jazzy, huh? On ZM. Aiko, aiko, aane. Kia ora, everybody. Welcome to the show. One minute after four. Hi, Brie. Hello, mate. How was your DJing gig? I went and DJed to some Five Sauce fans before that stadium showcase that we gave tickets away to. It was like 200 people there or something? Very intimate. It looked like on your Instagram story that you were DJing in the toilets? Excuse me.
Starting point is 00:00:27 That room is the spiritual home of the All Blacks. Is it? That is the All Blacks changing room at Eden Park. Oh, that's cool. That is the All Blacks changing room where Richie McCaw said to the boys, let's go out there and win the Rugby World Cup. And they did. What was the speech? I see pride.
Starting point is 00:00:44 I see power. I see a bunch of badass mothers who won't take no crap off of nobody. And then they beat the Wallabies' asses. Nah, it was against the French. And I think it was because it's classic Richie McCaw underplay. Okay guys, well
Starting point is 00:00:59 thanks for coming. Now I've got a broken foot and Dan Carter, he's ripped his groin. Pity, he's going to break very soon. This isn't very inspiring. And Stephen Donald, well, he's too fat to fit his T-shirt. So let's just go out there and give it our best. And they did.
Starting point is 00:01:18 And they won. Anyway, that's a dramatic recreation of the 2011 Rugby World Cup. Not what you tuned into ZM4 today, but what you got anyway. Does it smell like rugby players? Yeah, it smells like hot men. What? We're going to do secret sound at five o'clock today. If you have an idea of what it is, it's at 30 grand.
Starting point is 00:01:34 Did you hear? Someone guessed my guess. Someone used it. The iPhone home button. The iPhone home button being pressed. Someone used it this morning. And I'm assuming it was wrong? Yeah, well, we're still here, aren't we?
Starting point is 00:01:45 Okay, great. So 30 grand, five o'clock today. Secret sound if you can get through straight after birthday banger. Back to the drawing board for me, mate. What are we doing first? We've got a dilemma to put to the people. It's over two birthday parties, mate. Oh, this is me, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:02:00 The people will decide next. You're going to decide my weekend? Your fate in the people's hands. Hey, the people haven't let me down before. Oh, no, hang on, wait. They made me get a perm. That was a fun time. Looking forward to this.
Starting point is 00:02:14 Here's Dua Lipa, Calvin Harris, ZM. ZM's brilliant client. So there's a dilemma this weekend because our really good mate, one of our best friends here at ZM, she's probably the nicest girl in the office, Caitlin, producer Caitlin who works on Fletchford and Megan in the mornings, is having her 28th birthday party. Her 28th birthday party.
Starting point is 00:02:35 28th. 28th birthday party. It's a big day. She's organised a birthday party at a winery. Everyone's invited. She didn't want to leave anyone out. You, mate, said to me, oh, no, I can't go to that. I said, oh, okay, here we go.
Starting point is 00:02:52 What's your excuse? And you said, I've got another birthday party to go to. And I do. And I was thinking, oh, it's obviously his best mate or, you know, someone he's known forever. No, it's a one-year-old. Yeah. It's a first birthday party.
Starting point is 00:03:09 Yeah. They haven't even been in the world for a year yet. Well, they will have and that's why we're having a party. So you are ditching one of your really good mates' 28th birthday party for someone who's only been in the world for a year. That's not even going to remember it. Look, I don't want to be in this position. In a dream world, I'd be able to do both.
Starting point is 00:03:28 And you need to rephrase it, okay? I'm ditching Caitlin's 28, a person who I like a lot. One of your best mates here at work. Hang on. One of your best friends. For one of my best friend's kids' birthdays. Yeah, best friend's kids. It. Yeah, best friend's kids. It's not your best friend.
Starting point is 00:03:46 But it's their first birthday and it's their first baby and I don't have a baby and I imagine these baby birthdays are a pretty big deal, especially the first one. How many times have you hung out with the baby? And they're like, oh, please, we've only just survived to one year. Please come and show us you're still friends with us and help us celebrate the baby's birthday. How many times have you hung out with the baby?
Starting point is 00:04:03 Once. Yep, and how many times have you hung out with Caitlin? More than once. Outside of work? Yeah. Probably once. No, I'd say more. I want to paint you a picture.
Starting point is 00:04:12 If you go to the 28th party at the winery, it's going to sound like this. Jeez, have we asked the winery? In moderation. In moderation. And if you go to the first birthday party, it's going to sound like this. Suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck actually at a pub. That's inappropriate. It's at a child-friendly pub. Is it? Yeah, yeah. Interesting. Look, I'm stuck in the middle here, okay? What it comes down to is what you said you would do first. And I was invited to the first birthday first.
Starting point is 00:04:57 Well, that's still up in the air. So I need to follow through with that. We still haven't found out who created the event first, but we've got Caitlin on the phone right now. You need to tell Caitlin. Caitlin, hi. Clint, are you kidding me? Yes, Caitlin, I know.
Starting point is 00:05:11 Is that why he can't come? Because he's going to some kid's birthday party. Are you kidding me? That is going to be so boring. Caitlin. I can't believe you're judging me for a one-year-old. They're not even going to remember it. That's very true.
Starting point is 00:05:26 They will when they see the photos and they'll go, oh, my cool Uncle Clint was there. You know who is going to remember it? Caitlin. She'll remember you didn't go to her birthday party. And you're going to remember this for the rest of the time that we work together, Clint, I'm going to tell you. Remember my 28th birthday party that was so lit
Starting point is 00:05:42 and everyone laughed. All right, calm down. It's your 28th. It's not your lit and everyone laughed. All right, calm down. I wasn't there because it was at a 20th birthday party. It's your 28th. It's not your 30th or your 21st. It's not even a milestone birthday. Can I put something to you, Caitlin? What? I don't even know if I'm a charity invite to this event
Starting point is 00:05:57 because, let's be real, I feel like the event got a bit too public. You had to invite everyone at work. I don't know if I'm just there because you had to invite me and when you saw I RSVP'd Noah, it was a bit of a load off for you. No, Clint, that is absolutely not what happened. I invited you, like you were the first person I could invite to. Literally, she actually said to me this morning,
Starting point is 00:06:19 she was actually quite hurt that you're not going. Oh, piss off. No, legit. And then I said, well, he's either picking pin the tail on the donkey or he's picking Pinot Gris. I know what I'm picking. What do you want me to do in this situation? What would you have me do? Caitlin, if you're up for it, I want the people to decide this afternoon on 0800 dial ZM. Is it 28th birthday party with the Pinot Gris or is it the first birthday party with the
Starting point is 00:06:44 pin the tail on the donkey? Yeah. A hundred percent. I think that they should decide. Are you even related to this kid? No, I'm not related to the kid. Not my blood. Caitlin, I'm not related to you either. Yeah, but we're like... Yeah, but you guys have shared bodily fluids, so... That is a vicious rumour.
Starting point is 00:07:00 Alright. Oh no, that was you and I, Caitlin. Sorry, that's my mistake. That was us. Sorry, my mistake. The phones are already full. that was you and I, Caitlin. Sorry, that's my mistake. That was us. Sorry, my mistake. The phones are already full. The phones are lighting up, Caitlin. We'll come back in a second. The people will decide.
Starting point is 00:07:14 You can decide my weekend, I guess. It's only Tuesday, by the way. Hey, it's all right. Get in early. Zinni is brilliant. It's the dilemma of the birthday parties, mate. You've got two on this weekend. You've got...
Starting point is 00:07:26 We've just learned, actually, off air, tell the people you lied. I didn't lie. No, you did. I didn't lie. You said it was your best mate's kid's first birthday party. I said they're very good friends. No, you didn't. You said it was your best mate.
Starting point is 00:07:40 Well, maybe it's not my best mate, but I'm close with them and I haven't seen them for ages, so I should probably show up to their kid's birthday. Look, like I said to you, if I had the choice, and this is the dilemma that you've put me in, first birthday party. I didn't put you in the dilemma. Or lit 28th winery party on Waiheke Island.
Starting point is 00:08:01 Yeah. Of course I'd go to the 28th. But it's about what you should do. And you know what? I want to go to the 28th, but it's about what you should do. And you know what? I want to go to the first birthday. I want to be there. Now you're trying to dig yourself out of the hole. Caitlin, it's your 28th.
Starting point is 00:08:12 It's your birthday. What would you do, Caitlin? Oh, obviously. What's going to be way more fun? More stories, like better photos for Instagram. Like the list goes on. Yeah, okay.
Starting point is 00:08:26 Here's another thing. If this snap poll that we're about to do with people who have zero investment in my life but are going to decide my future yet again, if it comes back yes that I should be at your 28th, is there even still room for me or have you locked down the numbers? No, I set aside a seat next to me for you. Oh, shut up. I've kept it open so that you can come.
Starting point is 00:08:49 Fine. Oh, Caitlin, I will take that seat if Clint decides not to come. Yes, you will. I mean, I won't fill the void of Clint because I know how close you and him are, but I will try. You won't be invited to any other of my booster parties. Whoa. You seem to be having one every single year,
Starting point is 00:09:07 so we'll see about that. Wait there. How are we doing this? Let's go to Christine first. Okay. Christine. Which party should he go to, Christine? Hey, how are you guys going?
Starting point is 00:09:17 Good, thanks. I totally think Clint should go to the first birthday. Why, Christine? Because, you know, a first birthday, it's not even about the kid. It's totally about the parents surviving that first year of complete hell. And you just want to make sure that they're okay. Christine, do you remember your first birthday? I don't remember it.
Starting point is 00:09:41 That's not what she's saying. She's saying it's not about the kid. No, I get it. I get what she's saying. She's saying it's about the kids No I get it I get what she's saying She's saying it's about the people Okay Ross Boss is going to this party as well I don't see you giving him crap
Starting point is 00:09:50 Ross Boss is nearly 40 That's a good point Brooke hi Hi Hi Brooke Help me out here I've made the right decision Like the responsible decision
Starting point is 00:09:59 By going on the first birthday this weekend right? Yes Hell yes And you've already agreed to it. So first off, that makes you a good person. Yeah. Going with what you already agreed with. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:09 And secondly, like, the person for me just said, it's about the parents. I've got a one-year-old. Yeah. See, Bree? I know. Bree just rolled her eyes so hard that they almost fell out of her head. She couldn't handle the good person bit. And I know why you're doing this.
Starting point is 00:10:23 No, I get it. I get it. I know why you're doing this. I know why you're doing this. I didn't realise that you'd already said yes to one, but that's what you're saying. We don't know if that's true. This is the other bit that I'm just realising about you. The reason you want me there is so that you're not the blowout
Starting point is 00:10:37 on Monday this time. So that when we come back to work, I'm just as hungover on a two-day hangover as you are for a change. That's what I think it boils down to. Could be it. Last call, Hannah. Oh, Hannah, I know what's coming. I know what's coming here.
Starting point is 00:10:50 Hey, can you hear me? Yes. What do you think, Hannah? Yeah, 100%. Well, this was before I knew it was a winery trip to Waiheke Island. Has that changed a little bit, Hannah? No, no. 100% the first birthday all the way.
Starting point is 00:11:05 No one said first birthdays are boring anyway. I ended up after my son's first birthday and it was like the best night out forever. What, did you take the baby to town? Oh, no, no, no, no, of course not, of course not. But honestly, honestly, yeah, the parents will really appreciate you being here. The kid won't remember, but they will, honestly.
Starting point is 00:11:21 Can I ask one question? You can go out with the 28-year-old anytime. Yeah, see? He's only going to be one 28-year-old any time. Yeah, see? The baby's only going to be one once. Once, that's it. Yeah, and plus two years will come around real quick and then she'll be 30 and you can go to her 30th. Yeah, trust me.
Starting point is 00:11:32 The baby will only be turning three and three's not special. That's very true. So you know what I mean? Very true. It's a win-win. I've got one question. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:40 Is there a jumping castle at the first birthday party? No, there's not a jumping castle. I've just had a thought though. Caitlin? Yes? What time does your party start? Well, Catching the Fury at 11. Oh, no.
Starting point is 00:11:52 I can't do both. Zee's Brinkland. One of my favourite TV shows from the early 2000s had to be The O.C. California. It's just iconic. You didn't watch it. No. You never caught an episode.
Starting point is 00:12:12 No, but I know about it. Where Ryan fell in love with Marissa. Ryan was from the streets. Marissa was rich. They found love. This is going to make, this is going to sound really bad. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:22 Is this the one with Blake Lively on it? No. That's Gossip Girl. I love Gossip Girl. I've missed it altogether. Yeah, you've missed it. That's okay. You love it.
Starting point is 00:12:34 I loved it. Can I just join you? 15 years. Golly. 15 years. I know. I can't believe it's been 15 years since I caught up with the guys. It makes you feel so old.
Starting point is 00:12:44 I've watched it a couple of times over since. It's still just as good as what it was. Oh, you love it. I love it. And I thought to celebrate the 15-year anniversary today, we could do a bit of an OC quiz. Yeah? I think I know quite a lot about the OC,
Starting point is 00:13:00 but my memory's not that great anymore. Are you going to be okay if someone who's caught up knows more about the OC than you, though? I'll be fine about it. We more about the OC than you, though? I'll be fine about it. We're celebrating the OC. Sean, hi. Welcome to the show. Hi, Sean.

Starting point is 00:13:18 I've seen the theme song a lot to my mates at school. All right. Are you ready to take me on in a quiz, mate? Yep, bring it on. All right, let's do it. I'm going to run the quiz, okay? And it's first to three. So we're going to buzz in with our name?

Go on. Yeah, her name's my girlfriend. She's just some, she don't want her name named, so she just said hello. Okay. I thought you were going to say her name is Marissa. Secret girlfriend. And we're like, oh, we know where Marissa is now. She's on Winfield Beach.
Starting point is 00:15:33 She wins with that answer, can I say. Zinni's brilliant clip. Are you worried that you could be replaced by a robot in your job? What about you? Could you be replaced by a robot? Could we replace you with Alexa? Yeah, probably. It'll get that way, eh?
Starting point is 00:15:46 I think so. I mean, yeah. I am a hilarious robot with a number of pop culture references. The laughing would sound weird. Ha, ha, ha, ha. It's a real thing though. As computers and robots get smarter, automation
Starting point is 00:16:02 is going to change the way we work. I literally saw on Facebook yesterday a video of a pizza robot. It makes the pizza, cooks the pizza, puts the pizza in the box, and then the pizza robot delivers it. Yeah, but does he have an Italian accent? They can make it have an Italian accent. Damn it, they can. This is the list that's been published by LinkedIn of the jobs most likely to be replaced by automation.
Starting point is 00:16:26 In fact, these jobs that I'm going to give you have a 99% chance of being automated. Whoa, that is very high. And I love that website, LinkedIn. How often do you go on LinkedIn? I use it every day. I prefer it over Instagram. More than Facebook.
Starting point is 00:16:40 You know, I love a LinkedIn notification. Same here. Yeah. It's so exciting. If you are studying any of these jobs currently at university, maybe time for a rethink. Data entry keyers, people who key stuff into computers. Right.
Starting point is 00:16:58 That can be replaced by a robot. This is a bit rough. Librarians. Really? Yeah. But then I also go, why are we still got libraries? And no offense to librarians, but we've got the internet. They're going to be obsolete soon, aren't they?
Starting point is 00:17:11 They keep building them. They just built one by my house. My auntie was a librarian for 40 years. Well, she could be a robot. Nah, she retired. She got out. New account clerks. I don't know what that is.
Starting point is 00:17:23 Processing machine operators. So people who watch the machines, like on your parents' farm, they've got an Apple sorting machine? Yeah. Does someone run that machine? No. Oh, that's already been robotised.
Starting point is 00:17:32 It's already, yeah. Cargo and freight agents. Okay, this one, very specific. Watch repairers. Is one of the jobs that LinkedIn says has 99% chance of being replaced by a robot. That's weird. Hand sewers,% chance of being replaced by a robot. That's weird.
Starting point is 00:17:46 Hand sewers, they've already been replaced by sewing machines. And the last one, telemarketers. So you know the people who ring you at dinner time and they go, can I just talk to you about Greenpeace, please? That's not going to be a call from a robot. What a way to make the most annoying phone call of all time more annoying. Don't you hate when you get the automated service and it takes forever?
Starting point is 00:18:07 Press one for this. Press three. I can understand you. Say what you'd like to do. Speak to a real person. I'm sorry, I didn't understand you. You said, order a pizza. A pizza is now on its way.
Starting point is 00:18:22 A robot is making it. These are the jobs that have a 0.4 chance of being automated, by the way. So these are the things to go and study. Recreational therapy, audiologists, occupational therapists, healthcare social workers, physicians and surgeons, choreographers, people who teach you how to dance, dentists, and the people who just got their pay rise, the primary school teachers. A 0.4% chance that you're going to be replaced by a robot.
Starting point is 00:18:48 You know what one job I'm very excited that isn't on the jobs that are going to be replaced by robots? What's that? Gynecologists. Wouldn't you prefer that a robot was? Nah, trust me. Really? What if something malfunctions?
Starting point is 00:19:02 You get electrocuted or something. The red lights come on and it turns evil. It's not good. Not while you're in there. We're going to do birthday banger next. If you want to know what your birthday banger is. Yeah, call us right now. 0800-DARLZN.
Starting point is 00:19:14 We'll figure out what song was number one on your 16th birthday. Hello, I am your gynecologist robot. Please open. No. Zine's Brain Clench. It's my birthday. It's my birthday. It's my birthday. Brie and Clint's birthday banger.

Starting point is 00:22:01 Gaga is good, but this is a blip on the Gaga radar, I feel. I loved this song. Definitely, yeah. Okay. My favourite thing about today has been Jess. Jess? Yeah, but the thing is, we're not choosing her song. Oh, we're not? No, do you want, you don't need,
Starting point is 00:22:17 you buzzed through before and you said, um, I think the song is Ben Loomis. You don't even know it. Mate, I didn't live here in 2004. You want to hear Atomic K Mate, I didn't live here in 2004. You want to hear Atomic Kitten. I barely remember our Aussie Idol. You want to hear Atomic Kitten whole again. I know you do.
Starting point is 00:22:32 I would love to hear Atomic Kitten. Oh, banger. God, I love getting my way. Hey, Rebecca, we're playing your birthday banger, okay? Yay, thank you. Nice work, Bec. Not yours, Jess. But you win today, Jess.
Starting point is 00:22:44 You win. Yeah. I am not talking over the end of an absolute banger like Atomic Kitten, Whole Again. That is the winner of Birthday Banger, somehow taking down Ben Lummis' debut single. Can we get Ben Lummis on the phone? Producers? Is that possible? He's not at your beck and call.
Starting point is 00:23:11 He's got things to do. Where would he be right now? Working, probably. I wonder what he'd be doing as a job. I think he still performs. Still does? Yeah, I think so. I'd love to get him in the studio.
Starting point is 00:23:22 There's the curse of doing a New Zealand Idol. You get pushed into the limelight, you do a song, and then whatever happens, you know, everyone goes, oh, man, you must be so shit now. And you go, I'm quite happy just living my life. Oh, he's got a beautiful voice. He does have a beautiful voice. At our next party, when we throw our first party,
Starting point is 00:23:38 we should get Ben Lummis to come perform. People would love it. Again, he's not just yours to grab, but we can look into it. I'm going to add him on Facebook. Oh my God, it's so good. If you would like a chance at $30,000, a prize even better than winning New Zealand Idol,
Starting point is 00:24:08 now's the time to call us to play Zedium's Secret Sound. I just added him. On Facebook? Yeah, I'm going to send him a message. Cool, man. There's also a Facebook page saying, Make Ben Lummers Prime Minister. Zedium's brilliant, Clint.
Starting point is 00:24:24 What do you reckon the ratio of good landlords to crap landlords is? That's hard. My landlords are awesome. Yeah. I've got such good ones. And I've had awesome landlords in the past. Yeah. But the bad ones just really give the whole lot a bad name.
Starting point is 00:24:40 And you know what's worse? It's when they don't actually own the house. Because I can get it if it's like an older couple who are leasing out their investment property and they put all their money into this place and they know they can't come around without 90 days notice but they just do a little drive-by
Starting point is 00:24:53 to check you haven't burnt the place down or started a meth lab in it or something. I get that. It's when you get the really annoying letting agent who's in between who works for like the real estate company and you communicate to them, you go, hey, dishwasher's broken, and they're just like, yeah, I'll get around to it.
Starting point is 00:25:10 I'll let them know soon. You have to realise, though, that those people are looking probably after, oh, a tonne of properties. Yeah, I didn't ask them to look after a tonne of properties, though. I pay rent on one house, and I want you to look after the house that I make, because this is the way I look at it. I want your services look after the house that I'm in. This is the way I look at it. I want your services 24-7. Well rent's expensive
Starting point is 00:25:28 especially in places like Auckland and Wellington and Christchurch. We were in a four bedroom place and it was costing 900 bucks a week. Yeah that's crazy. You know and so this story about this landlord used to be my landlord. Oh so you've had this landlord before. It was mine and then when I left the flat
Starting point is 00:25:43 my friends continued to live there as well. This is the landlord that when we had a poonami in the backyard, had a pipe explode. Oh, no. And it gushed poo, raw sewage all over the backyard. And then what happened? And was like coming out and we rang and go, hey, there's a situation going on at the house.
Starting point is 00:26:05 It was a Sunday and she goes, it's a bit expensive to get a plumber on a Sunday. I'll get onto it on Monday. What time was it on Sunday? It was like two in the afternoon. It was two in the afternoon and there was literal sewage bubbling out from inside our garage
Starting point is 00:26:22 and flowing across the back lawn. Oh, not great. So anyway, this landlord has just kicked my friends out of the house. What, she's booted them? Yeah, she said, you guys have to move out because I want new tenants. Just no other reason than that. They're looking out of the place. They go, oh, I need new tenants.
Starting point is 00:26:37 Is that a thing? Yeah. Well, apparently. Is it? Give them enough notice and yeah, it's a thing. If your lease is up, it's all legal. I'm not saying they're doing anything illegal. It's all legal. If your lease is up, it's all legal. I'm not saying they're doing anything illegal. It's all legal.
Starting point is 00:26:46 If your lease is up and they can go, oh, we feel like a change. We want to get someone new. But there's obviously reasons. Why does she hate them so much? I don't know. I don't know. I think she wants a family in there
Starting point is 00:26:56 or maybe the owners want a family. And again, that's legit. But when you're looking after a place and moving is such a pain. Moving costs a lot of money. Anyway, they had to move and they had to get the carpets cleaned. And the landlord was meant to leave a key out and didn't.
Starting point is 00:27:10 And so they're like, well, what do you want us to do? We're here to let the cleaners in now. This landlord who kicked them out goes, oh, can you just break into the house? Oh, God. And it was at this point I was like, mate, you are better off in a different place. Next minute, they're just doing laps in the Poonami out the back. Zedian's Bree and Clint. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:27:32 I heard she bought all her followers. She would. She's such a bitch. It's time for Bree and Clint's Insta-fame game. A fun game that you can shout at the radio and play in your car with us. Producer Ellie gives us the name of well-known celebrities who have an Instagram presence,
Starting point is 00:27:51 and you and I, Bree, have 10 seconds to guess how many followers they have. Sometimes, most of the time, we're really close in guesses. Closest two wins. First to three wins the point. What's the current score? The score is currently 3-2 in favour of yours truly. Right, so I really need this game today. Ellie, have you structured the game in favour of Bree in any way?
Starting point is 00:28:15 I have not. It's all very fair. Fantastic. How dare you assume that producer Ellie would do such a thing? Hard out. If you ask only about Australian celebrities, I know this is rigged. Mate, I don't know anything about them anyway.
Starting point is 00:28:30 Ellie, when you're ready, please give us our first celebrity for the Insta Fame game. All right, first celebrity, Pink. In the news. In the news. Has had to cancel more shows. Big deal. Going with my gut on this.
Starting point is 00:28:45 With my gut. Brie, you've said 14 million for pink. Clint, you have said 10 million for pink. Pink has 4.7 million. That's a point to Clint. Thank you. Thank you. God damn it. Maybe this is my game. Maybe this is my thing. Alright, relax. You're one point in front.
Starting point is 00:29:01 Maybe this is the thing that I'm good at. Next celebrity. Jacinda Ardern. You love her, Brie. I do love Jacinda. I'm going to go for a nice round half milli. Nice. For Jacinda Ardern, Clint, you have said $500,000.
Starting point is 00:29:23 Brie, you have said $48,000. Wait, $48,000? I don't know. Maybe she's not on the gram that much. She's the Prime Minister of the country. She's not an ex-bachelorette. Yeah, she's the Prime Minister. Yeah, she's a world leader.
Starting point is 00:29:35 She's having photos with Justin Trudeau and stuff. She's a big deal. Yeah, true. All right. Jacinda Ardern has $214,000, which technically means Brie won at that point. If my maths is correct. Hang on. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Starting point is 00:29:51 What did you? You wrote 500, right? Yeah. 214. Yeah, and she wrote 48. Damn it, you did get it. Yeah. Sorry, what were you saying?
Starting point is 00:30:00 That. Yeah. Next celebrity, please. All right, next celebrity. ZM's Fletch Vaughan, please. Alright, next celebrity. ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Megan. Oh, hang on. Them personally or their show? Their show page on Instagram.
Starting point is 00:30:11 Yeah. They've got a good Instagram page. I know this one, actually. It is good. It's a great watch. Alright. For ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Megan, Clint, you've said 52,000.
Starting point is 00:30:24 Bree, you've said 52,000. Bree, you've said 71,000. Are you trying to do the math right now? Yeah, a little bit. But Fletchwater Megan have 52.5,000. That means, Clint, you just got that nearly bang on. There's no math to do. I got it perfectly.
Starting point is 00:30:40 All right, mate. Two points to me, one point to Bree. It's first to three. I can take the game out here. All right. Grant Crepe from Love Island Australia. I hate Grant Crepe. Listen to us groan every time you do one.
Starting point is 00:30:55 For Grant Crepe, I'm going to go... Nice round number again. Didn't do me well with Jacinda, but hopefully this time. Nice. You've shot low. Yeah, I should have went higher. He's been out in the media a lot, hasn't he? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:11 True, all right. And girls love a bad boy. Why though? Bree, you've said 90,000 for Grant Crap. Clint, you've said 200,000. Grant Crap has 146,000, which gives that point to Clint. God damn it. Oh, he's won the game. Sorry, can you say that again?
Starting point is 00:31:30 Clint's won the game. Just one more time. My headphones aren't working. Clint has won the game. Fantastic. That's a crap game. Because his name was Grant Crap and, you know. Zeddy's brain, Clint. I don't know if they're called hop cards all over the country,
Starting point is 00:31:45 but you know the card that you use to tag on and tag off the bus? Your public transport card. Yeah. I think they're called Snappers in Wellington. I don't know. The card you use to get on public transport. Your bus pass. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:56 Train pass, whatever. Producer Ben was catching the bus to work today and the guy ahead of him, because when you tag it and you get on, it goes boop and it shows up on the screen what the balance of your card is. I always look at what people have got on their card. Right. I know that's real nosy, but I'm always like, oh, how much have they got on their card?
Starting point is 00:32:12 The guy in front of producer Ben was getting on the bus this morning with a HopCard balance of $310. Who's putting $300 on their HopCard? Who? Yeah. Who has that money to put on their HopCard? Who? Yeah. Who has that money to put on? You know what I mean? Who has $300 to put on their HopCard that can't afford a car
Starting point is 00:32:32 or a private driver or an Uber? What if your situation changes and you don't need that card anymore? What if you lose the card? Oh, that's true too. What if you lose your HopCard? Is it transferable? I think you can register it. Maybe. What do you lose the card? Oh, that's true too. What if you lose your HopCard? Is it transferable? I think you can register it. Maybe.
Starting point is 00:32:48 What do you mean? Oh, to reclaim your money. Yeah. But still. Imagine the person that finds that card. Oh, bonanza. But, but, it's just the level of forward planning involved is just incredible.
Starting point is 00:33:02 Like it may be someone who's hyper, you know when your pay comes in, especially if you get paid monthly, like we do, really organized people will portion it off. They go, okay, well, this goes into my rent account. This goes into my grocery account. This goes, and then $310 for the month goes onto my bus pass. Who's using $300 a month? I do have one theory that it's like black market currency. What do you mean? Because you know how people that are doing dodgy deals. What, he's laundering money on his HopCard. Yeah, yeah, deals that can't go through a bank account.
Starting point is 00:33:31 You know how people use iTunes cards for that, for payment? Right. What if this person has moved their dodgy business into HopCard? And what, he's selling these cards on the side to people? He's paying for whatever the services are. And I don't know that he is. This is just a theory. He's paying for it.
Starting point is 00:33:50 He goes, okay, mate, I'm going to do the deal for you. He's a dealer. No, he's like a hitman or something. He's like, I'll do the job. You need to deposit $310 into my Hop card by midnight. Hey, Producer Ben, was he wearing speed dealers? I want to take a minute here to talk about a story that involves what I believe is alien abduction.
Starting point is 00:34:17 It all starts a couple of years ago. I worked with this girl. She said to me, oh, something really weird happened to me when I was about 19. She goes, I woke up with this marking on my body. It was on her leg. It was a circle. And she said she had no idea how it got there. It was a circle and there was also a circle within the circle and then a few lines through the circle, but it was a perfect circle. Was it a tattoo?
Starting point is 00:34:42 No. It was kind of like a branding. Oh, was it a smiley? You know how you used to make the lighter really hot and then stick it on your skin? Yeah, but a real like thin one of those. Right. Like perfect circles. Anyway, she said she felt really strange
Starting point is 00:34:58 and disorientated for a couple of days and she felt like something had happened to her but she didn't really know. A couple of weeks later, she like something had happened to her but she didn't really know couple of weeks later she was at the beach with her friend and her friend had this same marking on her body and she said oh my god do you know what that's from i had that on my body and this friend of hers was like no but i felt really strange and kind of dizzy. And she goes, that's exactly how I felt. Oh, my God. So for the next 10 years, this friend of mine searched the internet, looked everywhere trying to find this symbol.
Starting point is 00:35:39 She couldn't find it until one night late. She was watching some weird channel on TV. Yeah. And this show was on and all of a sudden a picture of this marking on someone's body is flashed up on the TV straight away. She's felt all the blood just drain out of her. And she was like, oh, my God, finally. That's my marking. That's the marking.
Starting point is 00:35:59 The show was about people who believe they've been abducted by aliens. Oh, so it's right on track with her theory. Well, she didn't think that. Oh, she didn't think she'd been abducted before then? No, she had no idea. Oh. She just thought she's like, I just feel weird and strange. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:16 And finally, she now thinks that she was abducted by aliens. Oh, I didn't think that's where the story was going. I thought you were going to say she saw it was like an Avicii tattoo and she goes, oh, that's right, I went to Splendour in the Grass. No. So the story gets even worse as she looked into it, did some research, and apparently a lot of females wake up with these markings mostly, and she believes, and a lot of these people believe it's because they harvest the eggs the aliens do harvest women's eggs yes anyway you've lost me by the way have i well i'm not on board i'm following i just don't tell you if you hear her tell the story where was the marking it was on her leg so what they're
Starting point is 00:37:03 going in through the leg to get her eggs? No, it wasn't anything to do. There's easier places to get them from. No, it wasn't anything to do with what they were doing. They mark the people so that they know next time that they've already taken them. Right. Apparently.
Starting point is 00:37:16 Like a barcode. Anyway. Oh, my God. The story develops. Yeah. On Saturday night, I was at producer Ellie's house. We were sitting in her room, having a conversation. Yeah, producer
Starting point is 00:37:29 Ellie's coming in now. Yeah. We were having a conversation and I look up at the window and I see on the window this exact marking. She's not even lying. And I said to Ellie, because I've told her this story before, I said, you know what that is?
Starting point is 00:37:48 And she goes, oh, my God, that's the marking you're talking about. Not even a lie. But we both freaked out. How's your eggs? I think they're still there. I don't know. Oh, God. Right, okay.
Starting point is 00:38:01 Call me a sceptic. I'm sorry. You're a sceptic? Yeah, yeah. But, ooh. Kind of creepy, right? Creepy, yes. Call me a sceptic. I'm sorry, I just... You're a sceptic? Yeah, yeah. But, ooh. Kind of creepy, right? Creepy, yes. Hey.
Starting point is 00:38:09 Did you take a picture of the window marking? Nah, because it's still there, mate. Take a picture. It's still there. Can you take a picture? Put it up on our Instagram. Take a picture of it tonight. Put it up on our Instagram.
Starting point is 00:38:19 And I'd love to hear from anyone. You can text us on 9696 or you can call the show if you've had a similar experience or you've heard a similar story. Or just glide over in your spaceship and see us in person. I'm about to tell you a story about a 90 year old from New Plymouth, Taranaki
Starting point is 00:38:37 who is going to make you feel like, and me and probably a lot of people listening like we really need to pick up our fitness game. Oh no. This guy's 90. His name's Arthur. He's a legend.
Starting point is 00:38:49 Retired. First of all, round of applause for Arthur for making it to 90. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's amazing. Looks great and is doing great things. His fitness routine is goals. Like Arthur, I reckon if he had an Instagram account,
Starting point is 00:39:06 could almost be Instagram model material. Is he going on Ninja Warrior? So... Can you imagine if they got Arthur on Ninja Warrior? Let's get Arthur on Ninja Warrior. I would love that. This is Arthur here. This is him. I'm 290 today. How do you feel?
Starting point is 00:39:22 From barely butting upwards, I feel good as gold. From the belly button downwards, I feel like 90. So he's 90, he's slowing down a little bit. Did you hear that? From the belly button up, good as gold. He feels great. From the belly button down, he feels about 90. So he missed leg day. For 29 years, he's been a member of New Plymouth's 50 Forwards Fitness Group at the Aquatic Centre. He was taking part in an hour-long aerobic workout, swimming and gym circuit three times a week.
Starting point is 00:39:56 Three times a week. What? For how long? An hour every time. And he's 90. He's killing it. He is killing it. He is killing it. He has done 25 half marathons, 25 half marathons
Starting point is 00:40:12 and he's getting in the gym three times a week for an hour. Now as a 20 something, how does that make you feel about your fitness? Absolutely horrible. I haven't been to the gym in three months.
Starting point is 00:40:22 He does have one thing that you could probably assimilate into your workout routine if you want to. This is what Arthur said got him going in the first place and got him up to the standard where he could do 25 half marathons. Simple. Every morning he'd get up and he'd go for a 10 to 12K walk before breakfast. Right.
Starting point is 00:40:39 No, I think I'd rather eat pizza. Zedian's brilliant, Clint.
