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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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?
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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,
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
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.
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.
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...
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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?
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
How are you?
Did you love it?
Yeah, I loved it.
I watched it on TV.
Every episode on TV, too.
It used to be on then.
Oh, it used to be on TVNZ, too.
Yes, coming back, way back.
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?
Yeah, just buzz in with your name.
Sean, you just go, Sean.
Yep.
And Bree, you just go, Bree.
All right.
Got it.
First question.
Who said it's fate, it's destiny, we're both like burritos?
Bree.
Bree.
I'm going to say that was Seth.
That was Seth. Yes. Well done say that was Seth. That was Seth.
Yes.
Well done.
Sorry, Sean.
That's okay.
We can keep going.
What iconic food did the Coens always eat?
Brie.
Brie.
Oh.
Bagels.
Bagels is correct.
Yes.
Oh, Sean.
I know.
This could be all over before it even began.
Question number three.
What is the famous beach the show is set on?
Brie.
Brie, could you even give Sean a chance?
All right, Sean, I'll let you answer this one.
Sean, it's Orange County.
But what is the beach?
Is it the Californian beach?
It is a Californian beach.
What's it called?
What's the beach called?
Also a brand of cigarettes.
Brand of cigarettes?
Winfield.
No, no.
That was brilliant, Sean.
Bree, you might not get this one.
I don't think I know it.
Yeah.
What was it?
Newport Beach.
Oh, I did know that.
Newport Beach.
Of course.
Not Winfield Beach.
Not Dunhill Blue Beach.
You're still in it Sean
You're still in the game
Okay
You just need to win
The next three points in a row
Okay
This is our OC quiz
It's 15 years old today
Yeah
What's the name
Of the comic book
Seth created
Yeah that's tough
Sean
Superheroes
No not superheroes
But I love your enthusiasm.
Brie, did you want to have a stab at that?
Atomic County?
It was Atomic County.
Get in there!
Oh, great.
That's game, set and match to Brie Thomasel.
Thanks for playing, Sean.
Yeah, can I say a quick shout out to my girlfriend who's listening right now?
Yes, you can.
Go on.
Yeah, her name's my girlfriend.
She's just some, she don't want her name named in store.
She just said hello. Okay. I thought you were going to say her name is Marissa. 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.
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?
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
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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?
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.
We'll figure out what song was number one on your 16th birthday.

On the 23rd of May, let's all reminisce,
because this was top of the chart.
Jessica, you get Ben Lummis.
What a cracker.
They can't take that away.
Just as a history lesson for those too young to know Ben Lummis,
he's the original.
Yeah, I know.
But some people won't.
He's the original New Zealand idol.
Right.
The first ever one here in NZ.
Yeah.
The first man in New Zealand to ever shave patterns into his head.
Oh.
What a pioneer.
What a pioneer.
Did he go on to have other hits or?
Yeah, he's been, yeah.
Had a few?
Yeah.
Breathing past that.
Go on, then name some.

Brittany, hi.
Hi, Britt.
Hi.
What's your birthday?
Are you going to sass me out as hard as Jessica?
Oh, no, no, no.
My birthday was 24th of March, 95.
Okay, Brittany, you were 16 in 2011 on the 24th of March,
and top of the charts was this.
I'm beautiful in the way, there's no mistakes.
I'm on the right track, baby, I was born this way. this.
The ill-advised Lady Gaga album where they said, you should make the cover
a motorbike, but it's got
your face as the headlight.
Yeah, that was definitely just
leave it in the past. Leave it in the past,
right? Oh, come on, Gaga.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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,
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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,
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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,
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.
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?
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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?
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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,
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?
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.
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
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.
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.
No, I think I'd rather eat pizza.
Zedian's brilliant, Clint.
