Starting point is 00:00:00 Three. Whoa! And Clint. Wow! On to the end. Woo! Kia ora everybody. Welcome to the show. Big one today too. It is a massive show today. Yeah. So you know we're doing Secret Sound at 5 o'clock. That's fine. We got you a clue yesterday. Today we are either going to get you another clue or we're going to get you a jackpot. And when we say we, that means you and I, Clint. Yeah. As a show, you and I are going to endeavour to get the people either a clue or a jackpot today. There's 21 days left.
Starting point is 00:00:32 You know, we'll be into the last part of it very shortly. So we're going to get this out of Sunky Branabell. She'll be in for a guess at five. And then there's another thing we want to do with her after that, about 5.30. If you're heavily invested in Secret Sound, do not miss 5.30 this afternoon. Let's just say it's going to be a duel,
Starting point is 00:00:50 kind of like the Hunger Games. Yeah. That involves one of us in here and soundkeeper Annabelle. It sounds like we're going to fight her. She'll be fine. Literally. She'll be fine. Maybe.
Starting point is 00:01:00 We don't know. Anything could happen. Yeah, we're hoping to change the game a little bit today anyway. Just a little bit. And coming up, just after 4.30, I am going to redeem myself to you as a friend. What, after the perm thing? After the perm, I've done some groundwork.
Starting point is 00:01:17 Have you done some reflection? I've done some reflection. Have you grown a conscience? I've grown a conscience. Have you realised I've worn a hat every day for almost two weeks now? Mate, I'm going to make it up to you. Okay, I'm looking forward to that. Next though, if you're sitting at your desk and you're going,
Starting point is 00:01:30 oh, is it five o'clock yet? Can I go home? Maybe you should. I am going to tell you next why working hard may be the worst thing you can do for yourself right now. And maybe if your boss hears this too, he'll tell everybody to go home. Make sure your boss is listening up next, okay? I mean, it's ambitious, but it could work.
Starting point is 00:01:50 You never know. We'll tell you about it next. This is brand new from Broods though. They're back. This is called Peach. Bree and Clint, ZM. ZM's Bree and Clint. Hey, if you're sitting at your desk right now
Starting point is 00:02:02 just wishing you were at home, thinking you've put in enough effort, maybe you have. Maybe you have done enough work. Maybe you're sitting at your desk right now just wishing you were at home, thinking you've put in enough effort, maybe you have. Maybe you have done enough work. Maybe you're already doing too much work. Maybe you're the person who thinks being a hard worker is good for you. And you're like, that's my thing. I'm a hard worker.
Starting point is 00:02:14 Sounds like my dad. I'm about to tell you why it's bad for you and it's bad for your job. Oh, no. Hopefully my dad is listening right now, workaholic. Does he need to take a break? He needs to. Mate, he's had a shoulder recon, two knee replacements, and he's got like eight slipped discs in his back. Really? He needs to have a rest.
Starting point is 00:02:34 Can he retire? I know. He needs to. You need to start sending some money home so dad can relax. Okay, this is a study done at the University of London through the business school. They have found that employees who put in extra effort reported poorer well-being, so their health is affected because they're overstressed, they're overtired, they're not relaxing. But they also have poorer job security,
Starting point is 00:02:58 less promotions, and poorer quality of work. The stuff they're putting out is crapper, even though they're working harder. The reason is, and this makes so much sense, the reason is, because you're taking on more, and you're working longer, and you're doing more, you're concentrating
Starting point is 00:03:14 on too many things. So no one thing has your full attention. So you're kind of doing, rather than doing a really good job of one or two things, you're doing an okay thing of an okay job of four or five things, you're doing an okay job of four or five things. Does that make sense? So what you're saying is that we should half-arse it more often.
Starting point is 00:03:30 What I'm saying is, it's time to chill out. I'm just going to undo my pants, put my feet up. That feels delish. We might just play like six or seven songs in a row this hour and just... That sounds good to me. Well, it'd be better for us personally. Can you bring in the pina coladas, please? Because what's more relaxing than a pina colada? It just says I'm on holiday, eh?
Starting point is 00:03:59 Nothing says I'm not working today like a pina colada. Like when you're ordering a pina colada, you're at a swim up bar somewhere, aren't you? Anything with fruit in it says I'm not checking my emails today. Like when I went to Bali, I drank a cocktail out of a seashell. No serious drink
Starting point is 00:04:20 is served in a novelty glass. Isn't it? In saying this, in treating ourselves to a bit of a rest, you've got to remember you and I work three hours a day. So we kind of already on the restful side
Starting point is 00:04:33 of the employment scale. Yes. Like, I'm just saying. Yep. If you were to compare us to a tradesman. Oh, we don't work hard. Who's been on the job
Starting point is 00:04:42 since 8am this morning and is hearing this. He's not sitting there going, yeah, Brie and Clint, you guys deserve a break. God, they put in some, we don't work hard. Who's been on the job since 8am this morning and is hearing this. He's not sitting there going, yeah, Brie and Clint, you guys deserve a break. God, they put in some work, don't they? We've been on here for eight minutes and we're already talking about taking a break. I wonder if we can find out, look, our producer's lying down
Starting point is 00:04:55 eating pretzels. Are you right there, mate? I wonder if this afternoon we can find the person who has, not the hardest, the easiest job in New Zealand. Because we can admit we've got a pretty cruisy job. We've got it pretty chill, yeah. But we want to hear from the people who can admit to themselves and to everyone their
Starting point is 00:05:15 job's pretty easy. Do you just sit in a box scanning parking tickets? You know what one of the easiest jobs I've ever had? What's that? I used to work in a factory where it was apples that had been sliced already. Yeah. It's when they were putting them into McDonald's. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:30 I just used to eat apples all day. Maybe you watch a conveyor belt. That's what I did. Of bread going past. Oh, how good would that job be? Oh, $800. You can even brag about it. I'd love it.
Starting point is 00:05:43 You can text us on 9696 as well Do you have New Zealand's easiest job? You should brag about it Because apparently it's better for your job And it's better for your career So get in touch 0800 dial ZM ZM's brilliant club
Starting point is 00:05:56 We're just taking it easy You know, we're just chilling out Taking a break Not working too hard Let's play another song actually Why don't I just set the tone a little bit Play another song That's better Just relaxing Because the study has said If you work too hard Let's play another song actually. Why don't I just set the tone a little bit? Play another song.
Starting point is 00:06:05 That's better. Just relaxing. Because the study has said if you work too hard, not only will you be unhealthy in your personal life, you'll be bad at your job because you're spreading yourself too thin. Quality over quantity. That's it. That's what I always say. And if you only get one bit of quality out of me a month.
Starting point is 00:06:20 You do always say that. That's one of the things I say the most. Someone goes, oh, do you know Clinton Roberts? And they go, yeah, he always says quality over quantity. I was on his Instagram the other day, his bio.
Starting point is 00:06:29 What did it say? It says quality over quantity. That's me. Instagram. Today, we're looking in this vein, in this inspirational new mood of not working too hard.
Starting point is 00:06:39 We're trying to find New Zealand's easiest job. Maybe we have it. Three hours of radio. Maybe that's it. It's pretty good. Is there anyone who does less than us? Oh, Jason PJ. They do. They literally do one
Starting point is 00:06:52 hour of work a day. That's it. And yeah, maybe it's them. How do we get that time slot? Let's go out on 0800 dial ZM and see who has the easiest job. Ricky, is it you? Hello, Ricky. Hi. What do you do for it you? Hello, Ricky. Hi. What do you do for a job?

You sound really relaxed. You do sound relaxed. Can I suggest, Ricky, just because your job is of such importance, maybe take it a little more seriously.
Starting point is 00:07:24 Just a fraction. Not a lot, not a lot. We're all relaxing here. I'm not trying to put the pressure on you, but maybe just a little bit. Okay, then. Just maybe, yeah, unbutton your pants a little bit more often.
Starting point is 00:07:37 Or less. I was going to say less often, I thought, but... No, I'm an advocate. Ricky, you do you, man. You do you. 0800-DALS-IT-M. Jaden, do you have the easiest job in New Zealand? I do.

Starting point is 00:08:30 Oh, my God. Stop. Also. And on the Crusaders. Like, that's not the worst job in the world. Weren't you sworn to secrecy by the Canterbury Rugby Union, though? Didn't they go, you can never tell anybody that the boys are wearing makeup.
Starting point is 00:08:41 It goes against everything Crusaders stand for. Oh, well, one of them wasn't exactly happy about it, but... Geordie, can I ask, did any of them want a bit of lippy on? No. No? Sorry, disappoint. Say no if you mean yes. No.
Starting point is 00:08:58 Yes, I knew it. Oh, yeah, nice. Gotcha. A bit of lippy and a bit of blush. Finally, Pip, do you have New Zealand's easiest job? Definitely. I play on playgrounds all Finally, Pip, do you have New Zealand's easiest job? Definitely. I play on playgrounds all day long. What do you mean?
Starting point is 00:09:09 I literally play on playgrounds to make sure they're safe and maintained properly all around the country. That is not a real job. I was going to say, no, Pip, you've misheard us. That's unemployed. But I get paid to play. That is fun. That's a real job I get paid to play. It's fun. That's a real job.
Starting point is 00:09:31 Yeah, it's seriously a real job, and it's the best job ever. What's your job title? Playground inspector. Now, what's the qualification? Is that like McDonald's where you have to fit under the book? Are you four foot tall? I'm definitely not four foot tall. I am vertically challenged, but not that short.
Starting point is 00:09:47 But yeah, you have to be qualified to do it. Hey, for that job, I'll walk around on my knees. Hang on, don't say that. Oh, yeah. That's another job. That's a whole other job altogether. Bree and Clint, this is ZM. Oh, no.
Starting point is 00:10:00 ZM's Bree and Clint. Clint, I feel like you and I, maybe in this first month of being on air, we've got off on the wrong foot a little bit because I really love you. I love you as a person. I think you're great. I love to stand up for you when people write stuff in, which happened today. Yeah, you did take to a troll for me.
Starting point is 00:10:17 Yep. I'll stand up for you, mate. And I feel like making you get a perm, and if you missed it on the show, I kind of was the reason that Clint Roberts had to get a perm. Kind of the reason. A little bit of the reason. Look, look, look, look. I don't want to be the victim here either, but it was your idea, mate. It was just the whole thing was your idea.
Starting point is 00:10:36 I thought it'd be fun. If it wasn't for you, there would be no perm. Right. So it was my fault. And I feel like I need to make it up to you as a friend. I need to prove myself up to you as a friend. I need to prove myself in our friendship. Right.
Starting point is 00:10:52 And I saw an opportunity recently and I feel like I've done some good work. So something that I know about you is you got married recently to Lucy. Yep. Beautiful woman. Yes. Don't really know how you locked it down, but you did. Yeah, tricked her. Proud of you. Tricked her.
Starting point is 00:11:04 But I know for a fact i'm holding something very dear to her captive i know the cats i know i know for i know for a fact that in your vows you said to your wife lucy that you will get her a celine dion ticket to her concert now i said that to her before i knew celine was coming to the country. So you made this promise. I made quite a lofty promise. I said I would get her Celine Dion tickets, Elton John tickets and meatloaf tickets. Right. In my wedding vows.
Starting point is 00:11:35 In your vows? Yeah. And then they go and announce a Celine Dion concert, which sells out in seconds. Like it's not like I didn't try to get Celine Dion tickets. Oh, I tried. And I followed the journey on your instagram where you tried really hard yeah i had multiple people trying to buy them for me all sorts you were at a point where you were going to pay five grand for a ticket no two tickets two tickets sorry but i but a lot a lot of money i'm gonna remortgage the house
Starting point is 00:11:58 because what she's not coming back celine dion what if she doesn't come back no she ain't coming back then there's grounds for divorce. This is the last tour. Yeah. And I saw an opportunity recently. I overheard a conversation out in the office between Ross Boss, our boss Ross, and he was talking about how he actually scored tickets to Celine. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:18 And he's going with his wife, her mum, and I think his mum? I'm not sure. Anyway, it's an interesting group going. Yeah. He's going with his wife, her mum, and I think his mum? I'm not sure. Anyway, it's an interesting group going. And I said to Ross, because he mentioned that there's one spare ticket, and I jumped on it straight away. I said, Ross, I need that ticket. I need it for my mate Clint.
Starting point is 00:12:42 And this would be the point where I maybe say to you, I've got the ticket for you, but there's a few T's and C's. See, this is why I haven't been so excited because I knew there was a catch. There's a few T's and C's involved. And why is there only one ticket? Well, that's all that we can get. So who's the ticket for? Lucy.
Starting point is 00:12:59 It's for Lucy. It's for Lucy so she can go to Celine Dion. With Ross. How romantic for her. But no, no, all right, yeah, I'll do it. You're still coming good on your promise. I need this ticket. What's involved?
Starting point is 00:13:08 Do I have to perm every other hair on my body? Am I being waxed from head to toe? Am I losing an eyebrow? What is it? What is it, best friend? Ross Boss, who is the biggest Celine Dion fan, you wouldn't believe it, but he is. He said, you guys need to prove to me
Starting point is 00:13:23 and Clint needs to prove to me how much he wants this ticket and how much he respects celine dion see this is the thing about getting into radio there's never there's no such thing as a free lunch no matter what you get offered there'll be something where you have to like jump through a burning ring of fire or something like that it's not that bad what is it i eventually negotiated with him. Yeah. And I've come to a conclusion that to get the ticket for your wife, Lucy, that you promised her on your wedding day,
Starting point is 00:13:52 all you have to do, it's real simple. All you have to do is record a Celine Dion song and we'll play it on the radio tomorrow. That's it. So you just have to really try. And then we actually discussed what songs and we had three songs. So just sing.
Starting point is 00:14:10 I just have to sing it? I don't have to sing it well. No. This is the problem. So tomorrow Ross will be in the studio. We will play him your recorded version of Celine Dion. Right. And he will give the thumbs up or the thumbs down.
Starting point is 00:14:27 Fine. Being a massive Celine Dion fan. You know, I need the tickets. So I'll do it. I'll do it. Mate, I've got all the faith in you. Watch the song. So these are the three songs that were thrown up.
Starting point is 00:14:37 This is song number one. Because I'm your lady. Power of Love. It's a classic. Yeah. It's an absolute classic. Listen to her voice. It's incredible.
Starting point is 00:14:53 So that's number one. That's number one. Number two. The Titanic theme song. My Heart Will Go On. Celine Dion. It's amazing. Or number three.
Starting point is 00:15:07 Baby, baby, if I kiss you like this And if you whisper like that A conclusion. A conclusion was made. Tomorrow on the radio at this time, you will hear Clinton Roberts, the original version of My Heart Will Go On. You know no one wants this, eh?
Starting point is 00:15:39 No one listening wants to hear me do this. I know one person who wants it. Your wife, Lucy. What time are we doing it? This time tomorrow, 4.30, you will hear Clinton Roberts sing Celine Dion. Right, I've got some warm-ups to do. Mate, I've got your back. I'm going to be your hype girl.
Starting point is 00:15:56 Literally my back? Like backing vocals? Okay, I'm willing to do it, mate. It's friendship. You and I till the end. Better be a bloody good ticket. Love you, mate. Zinian's brain clipped.
Starting point is 00:16:06 There is a story out of the UK today about a lady, a lady who has been accused of squirting another lady in the face with her breast milk. First of all, how? So she's a mum and she's breastfeeding in a park. She's breastfeeding her child. Perfectly natural. Perfectly natural.
Starting point is 00:16:29 Another mum, that's an important bit to remember, another mum has come along and said, that's disgusting. You should be in a private place. You should hide what you're doing. The mum who's breastfeeding has then grabbed the breast from the child and I didn't even know you could do this. And then just went,
Starting point is 00:16:48 pointed it at the other mum and just given it a How did she aim that well? How did she aim that well? Did it get her in the face? Where did it get her? I don't know where specifically it got her on the body but she's claiming she was hit by projectile breast milk. I've been hit!
Starting point is 00:17:06 Now, the mum who was hit took to Facebook to complain. She was at the park with her child as well and her husband. This is what she wrote on Facebook. To the lady who thought it was appropriate to breastfeed her baby whilst my child and very easily
Starting point is 00:17:22 distracted husband sat nearby. Not the woman's fault. I don't think it was necessary for you to react the way you did just because I asked you to go somewhere private. Telling me to F off and squirting me with your boobs, this is verbatim, was incredibly uncalled for. I hope you are ashamed of yourself.
Starting point is 00:17:43 Now. I feel like the woman that did it wouldn't be ashamed I don't think she is ashamed of herself And if the main issue here Is your easily distracted husband Then go somewhere else Well just talk to your easily distracted husband Or when he starts looking at the boobies
Starting point is 00:17:58 Just distract him back Jingle your keys I thought you were going to say with your own I really need to tell my mum to stop going to parks. Right in the UK as well. What's she doing over there? Zee is Bree and Clint. It's my birthday.
Starting point is 00:18:14 It's my birthday. Bree and Clint's Birthday Banger. This is where we get your birthdays. We put them into this big old smelly radio computer and it figures out what song was actually topping the charts on your 16th birthday. Philippa, hi, welcome to Birthday Banger. Hello.
Starting point is 00:18:30 Hello. What's your birthday, Philippa? 1st of September, 1969. Okay, Philippa, you were 16 in 1985 on the 1st of September and on your 16th birthday, this was number one. Oh, how about that? Dear God. Are you into Madonna?

Starting point is 00:19:49 Hey, Liam. Hi, Liam. Yo, what up? What up? What's your birthday? September 17th, 1998. Okay, Liam, you were 16 in 2014 on the 17th of September, and this was Top of the Charts.
Starting point is 00:20:03 Because you know I'm all about that bass, about that bass. No tripping. Oh no, Liam. Nah, nah, Liam. Give us your honest... I'm hoping for Ice Ice Baby.
Starting point is 00:20:12 Liam, do you have any idea how old you are, man? Yeah, man. Definitely in the age range. No. That was like number one. Ice Ice Baby came out eight years before you were born.
Starting point is 00:20:21 Yeah, mate. In 1992. How could you have been 16? It's still a jam. It's still a jam. Yeah, mate. It's 1992. How could you have been 16? It's still a jam. It's still a jam. Yeah, all right. Well, you're hoping for some magical chart resurgence that it would go back to number one.
Starting point is 00:20:32 Too much. All right. You're great, Liam. That's great. Well, do you want Meghan Trainor? Do you want that to play? Yeah, why not, eh? Yeah, all right.

Starting point is 00:20:48 I mean, my gut says no to Madonna. Your gut says no to Madonna? Yeah, that's not her best song. Yeah, but it's one of her songs. I don't have my cone bra on. Yeah. What about Chris Brown? The Chris Brown thing.
Starting point is 00:21:04 Don't. Don't? No. My vote's for Chris Brown. Your vote is for Chris Brown? I love that song. It's the song, mate. My vote's for Meghan Trainor.

Starting point is 00:21:58 Well, technically mine and producer Ben's. Yeah, but I'm just saying, mate. If it wasn't for you, it wouldn't have got played. That's right. Soundkeeper Annabelle enjoyed it, eh, Annabelle? I'm actually singing.
Starting point is 00:22:11 Yeah, it was a good song. Yeah. Yeah, she's on board. It's fine. Just you do you. Zedian's brain clamped. Now, something we talk about a little bit.
Starting point is 00:22:19 Phone addiction. You and I both kind of openly admit that we're addicted to our phones, right? I actually was having a struggle with myself a couple of mornings ago where I promised myself when I wake up in the morning,
Starting point is 00:22:31 don't go on your phone for an hour, get up, go do something, exercise, you know, clean your room, do something. Do something productive. Nope, was on my phone for an hour. You were on for an hour? Yep. It's bad. I do it too.
Starting point is 00:22:44 I'm like this is the only way I'll wake up if I get onto a mind-numbing social media app. And I probably spend about 20 minutes in bed just looking at social media. Yep. I don't think it's a healthy way to start the day, like looking at Instagram. I literally wake up and go for my phone.
Starting point is 00:23:00 And I hate that. I don't want to be like that. Yeah. But it's everything. Your phone is your alarm. So it is beside your bed and some people get woken up by their notifications. Some people wake up to check their Facebook notifications.
Starting point is 00:23:11 You know? It's just crazy. I was reading today a bit that was published on The Spinoff, which is a news website, and they talked to a guy called Paul Corbalis. Paul Corbalis. He's a professor. He's a professor of psychology at the University of Auckland.
Starting point is 00:23:29 He talks about a thing called variable reinforcement. He says that's what phones use to get you addicted. He said it's a powerful way to maintain a behaviour. The relatively infrequent but unpredictable delivery of something rewarding keeps you coming back to your phone. Sorry, you lost me. No, no, yeah, I know. I was on my phone.
Starting point is 00:23:48 So basically the idea I think means you're going to get notifications which give you a hit of dopamine because something has happened and it's some sort of validation or interaction or a like or a comment or something like that. But you don't know when you're going to get it. There's no rhythm to it. There's no routine. So you're coming back at random times.
Starting point is 00:24:05 You're constantly checking to see if they're there. Sorry, you lost me again. I just got an interesting thing on Instagram. All right, okay. It was a fluffy cat. It was, oh, look at, it's like, what were you saying? Those sort of things are hard to, those sort of things are hard to negate, I guess.
Starting point is 00:24:17 But what you can do, and this is another technique which is becoming more and more popular. Because I read this this morning and I was like, I need something. And for some reason I read this and I was like, I'm going to do it. This one's easy. It doesn't involve going to a dumb phone.
Starting point is 00:24:30 It doesn't involve not sleeping with your phone. All it is, is taking the colour out of your screen, putting your smartphone into black and white. Making it less exciting. Making your phone boring. Literally. Yeah. I feel like, because I've done it and you have done it.
Starting point is 00:24:46 I've done it today as well. I feel like I'm in that movie Pleasantville. Why? Do you remember that movie? I don't think I saw it. Where someone was living and it was all in black and white. Oh. And it was really strange and everything was really boring.
Starting point is 00:24:58 It's weird. It's a major change, but it just makes everything less attractive. You know? Because you're used to your phone where everything is brighter than real life Like it's a major change, but it just makes everything less attractive, you know? Because you're used to your phone where everything is brighter than real life and it's HD and it's ultra vibrant and that. It's more stimulating than the real world. So how do we do it? If people are listening and they have a phone addiction
Starting point is 00:25:17 and they think, hmm, this could be something that might be able to help me, how do they do it? Yeah, you and I have done it. We're going to see over a week if it impacts how much we use our phone. If you want to do it, this is how you do it on an iPhone. First of all, you go into your settings. Yep. You go to general.
Starting point is 00:25:32 Yes. You go to accessibility. Accessibility. Go to display accommodations. It's like four down from the top. Display accommodations. Yep. Color filters.
Starting point is 00:25:43 Turn it on. Yep. Then select grayscale. Okay. That's it. That'll filters, turn it on. Yep. Then select greyscale. Okay. That's it. That'll put your phone into black and white. Sorry, you lost me because there was a text message that came through. If you're concerned about it, like if you're genuinely concerned about it,
Starting point is 00:25:56 give it a go. And I rushed through that. Ellie is putting it up on, ironically, our social media. Go to our Instagram page. So just pick up your phone. Yeah, pick up your phone. In an effort to stop picking up your phone. And you can turn it black and white as well.
Starting point is 00:26:12 I mean, there's no science that says it does work. I feel like it might be working for me. Like I'd already find my phone less attractive. Look at this picture of me with a dog. All right, you're hopeless. It's cute, look. Oh, sorry, what? Z is Br clad.
Starting point is 00:26:25 How exciting is the news that there is going to be the first openly gay superhero? Yeah, it's good. How exciting is that? You told me about it. I didn't realise this. You told me about it today. You didn't hear about it. No.
Starting point is 00:26:37 So yesterday they released that Ruby Rose, Aussie actress, will play Batwoman in the upcoming series, CW's upcoming TV series. So she's going to be a gay Batwoman for a TV series. Yeah, and she will be the lead role in that TV series. She is gay, right? She's lesbian? Yeah, so she's an openly gay woman who first got her break
Starting point is 00:27:01 on Orange is the New Black. Yes. Oh, no, she was a DJ before that, remember? Well, she was on MTV and then she was a DJ. And then she went out with one of the Veronicas. That's right, Jess. And then she did Orange is the New Black. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:12 And then she was on Pitch Perfect 2. Was she on that? Or 3, Pitch Perfect 3. And now she's scored, yeah, this incredible role as the first openly gay superhero. Gay Batwoman. Gay Batwoman. It's cool too. Like, how cool is Batwoman? I didn't know there was a Batwoman. Well... I knew there Gay Batwoman. Gay Batwoman. It's cool too.
Starting point is 00:27:25 Like how cool is Batwoman? I didn't know there was a Batwoman. Well. I knew there was Batgirl. Batgirl, yep. Is this the evolution of Batgirl growing up and come out? Maybe. Maybe.
Starting point is 00:27:34 Well, you'll have to watch the TV show. I think it's cool. And I didn't even put two and two together that there weren't any gay superheroes. Yeah, you don't really think about it, do you? No. No, you don't. But you might if you were a young gay person and gone, hey, we're... And it's awesome to see that someone has finally stood up and said,
Starting point is 00:27:53 you know, it'd be great to have them represented in the superhero community. I mean, there's an argument for where does sexuality come into the superhero part. Like, they're just fighting crime. But no, Superman has a lady on the side. Batman doesn't drive in that flash car for nothing. Superheroes ooze sexuality.
Starting point is 00:28:10 Speaking of Batman and Robin, surely if this one is the first one that's come out, there's more. There's gotta be more. Closeted superheroes. Yeah, that just haven't come out yet because they don't feel comfortable. You know? You're right. Statistically, you're right.
Starting point is 00:28:25 I think it's, is it one in four people identify as non-heterosexual or something like that? So we thought this afternoon. So in the superhero world, yeah, someone's got to be hiding something behind that mask, right? Yeah, they're hiding more than just their identity. You know what I'm saying? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:42 I thought this afternoon, and we talked about this, we would grab 10 major superheroes and we would discuss if we think they're gay or not. You've got the list? I've got the list. I haven't seen it. All right. Are we ready?
Starting point is 00:28:54 Yeah. Because there's got to be a few in amongst the list. All right. What about – I've got special music too. We just talked about him. If we decide which – Excellent.

Starting point is 00:29:42 Great, Batman's gay. That's fantastic. I know, awesome. Great to have him on board. Well, yeah. Him and Batwoman leading the charge on diversity. It's great. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:50 What about, oh, how cool is Wonder Woman? Wonder Woman. Well. She grew up on an island of women. Yep. And she. Is a wonderful woman. Is a wonderful woman.
Starting point is 00:30:00 Oh. I heard that this isn't even up for debate. I heard that she just is I think she is I think it's a known fact Wonder Woman Great Wonder Woman Some ladies might be a bit upset
Starting point is 00:30:19 But let's talk about Thor Thor He's sexy There's probably a lot of men who hope that Thor is gay. He's got very good hair. He's got extreme. He's very well groomed. Fine.
Starting point is 00:30:33 Thor is gay. I'm spinning around. Move out of my way. I know you're feeling me cause you're lying in love. What about Deadpool? Hard to get into the clubs with that hammer though. I know, right? Anyway.
Starting point is 00:30:46 Which one? Moving on. What about Deadpool? Oh, boy, your hammer is so heavy. But you wheeled it so well. Deadpool. Deadpool. I think Deadpool's straight.
Starting point is 00:31:00 He's straight. Deadpool's straight, right? Yeah, he's got that love interest. Yeah. Yeah, he's straight. All right, Deadpool's straight. Sorry, straight. Deadpool's straight, right? Yeah, he's got that love interest. Yeah. Yeah, he's straight. All right, Deadpool's straight. Sorry, I only organised one straight song because they're not as exciting.
Starting point is 00:31:12 Let's finish it off this afternoon. Who have you got last? Oh, one of the biggest X-Men, Wolverine. It's raining men. Hallelujah, it's raining men. ZDM's Brian Clint. We were it's raining men. ZD and Spree and Clint. We were just talking about how Ruby Rose has announced that she will be the first openly gay superhero
Starting point is 00:31:31 on the TV show Batwoman. Yeah. That's coming up. We went through and we theorised on what superheroes may actually be gay and haven't had the chance to come out yet. As always, and this is why I love this community so much, the comic book community is the one I'm referring to. People get right into it.
Starting point is 00:31:49 And, yeah, we don't know everything. They've come through with the facts. I love the facts. Would you like some facts, according to these fans, about the rainbow community within the comic book world? I would love that. Okay. Someone has said there have been gay superheroes for ages
Starting point is 00:32:03 and Batwoman has been gay in the comics for years. Oh, really? Yeah, so they're not turning her gay for the Ruby Rose recreation. Apparently Iceman from the X-Men is also gay. Well, it's awesome to see that they're making the series then about Batwoman. Yes, it is. So that's cool. This is kind of more what it is, right?
Starting point is 00:32:21 They're bringing these stories to the fore and putting budget behind them. Someone said Iceman from X-Men is gay and is married to his boyfriend. That's cool. And this is the one we're getting a lot. A lot. Yeah, this is the one that I was really surprised at. Because we said, nah, Deadpool's straight. Apparently, Deadpool is 100% bisexual.
Starting point is 00:32:41 When you think about Deadpool, he kind of is that type that wants the best of both worlds. This is what this text says. Deadpool is well, actually they say he's pansexual. Deadpool's pansexual. He's in love with death itself. See, that is a whole different
Starting point is 00:32:58 level of sexuality that we're not even versed in yet. But yeah, there you go. The more you know everybody. Zedian's Brain Clip.

It's 10 grand. Okay, just so you know how the game works, we're about to rip into it. Your buzzer is your name, okay?
Starting point is 00:34:00 First person to buzz in gets a run at it. I will begin reading a movie plot. Do not wait for me to finish. As soon as you think you know what the movie is, shout out your name and only your name will get you in and then you have a chance to guess what the movie is. I feel like I'm rashing up.

If you get it right, point's yours. Let's just take a stab at Snow White. Snow White is wrong. Best friends Brainy, Clumsy and Hefty

Technically, you have to wait till I start the plot again. A special man. Annabelle. Brie. It's one or the other. I'm going to say Lord of the Rings.
Starting point is 00:35:42 Lord of the Rings is wrong. Annabelle. Dumb, Dumb and Dumber. Dumb, Dumb and Dumber. Dumb, Dumb and Dumber is not a movie, but also wrong. It's never gone this far. What are we doing? They use a special map that guides them through a forbidden forest, an enchanted wonderland that's filled with magical creatures.
Starting point is 00:35:57 Bree. Alice in Wonderland. Is wrong. Annabelle. God damn it. No, just keep going, reading it out. Their adventure leads them on a course to discover the biggest secret in Smurf history. Brie.

Starting point is 00:37:15 What was the third movie? You'll never know, will you? I'll save that for next week. Zeddy and his brain clad. For everyone who rents, which is a lot of people in New Zealand, I am one included, it is tough. It is very hard to find a place, especially in the big cities. Hard to find a place, hard to keep a place, hard to pay a living fee,
Starting point is 00:37:33 hard to pay rising rent, all of that sort of stuff. It's expensive. It's so expensive. And this really hit me hard and I feel like it will hit a lot of people right in the heart when I read that apparently here in New Zealand, landlords are going to start now demanding copies of prospective tenants' bank statements in order for them to rent their properties. This is rough because, correct me if I'm wrong, but they want to see that you're spending your money responsibly, right? Exactly right. They want to see that you'll be able to afford the rent and pretty much, yeah,
Starting point is 00:38:09 what you're spending your money on, how much you earn, et cetera, et cetera. I kind of get the thinking behind it, like the logic. You go, well, if I'm going to rent you this house and it's $500 a week, I just know you've got some money. Yeah. But that's just privacy. That's just going above and beyond what's required of people to disclose. It's not right.
Starting point is 00:38:26 Yeah, and I totally get where they're coming from as well because obviously they would have, you know, I totally get the whole if you've bought an investment property and you want people in there to pay, you know, essentially your mortgage and you just want someone to do the right thing. I get that but it's also, I mean, is it an invasion of privacy? I think it is. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:45 If you can see the stuff I've been spending my money on, the only bit of my money you're entitled to see is the bit I give you each week for rent, landlord. If someone saw, and you know me pretty well, if someone saw my bank statements, I would never get a property anywhere, ever, ever. And they'd go, and you don't have car insurance. No, I do now
Starting point is 00:39:05 my mum bought it for me you spend how much money on a leather jacket we actually have each other's bank statements here I have yours yeah and I have yours
Starting point is 00:39:16 so forget privacy we're going to disclose these to everybody I'm never going to get a date after this pretend you're my prospective landlord right
Starting point is 00:39:24 and I'm yours and I'm going through let get a date after this. Pretend you're my prospective landlord. Right. And I'm yours. And I'm going through. Let's go through each other's bank statements. And I think you should do me first. Okay. Right. Clinton Roberts, in the last couple of weeks, you've been spending your money on a pub purchase.
Starting point is 00:39:41 Yep. Post office pub. Yep. Peter Pit. Yeah, I love Peter Pit. Scratch Bakers, which is another food place. There's coffee. What else have we got?
Starting point is 00:39:50 Uber. Uber, yeah. I think that was- A win out on Saturday night. Yep, Uber. Another restaurant. Oh, yeah. Cotto restaurant.

Starting point is 00:40:05 Just food. Food, beer and Uber. Hey, at least I'm responsible, right? For every booze purchase, there's an Uber purchase in there. What's this purchase? Oh, that's an interesting one. What? Peaches and cream.
Starting point is 00:40:18 Oh, get off the grass. No, what is this one? Get off the grass. When I shop at Peaches and Cream, it comes up as car parts. You ain't stupid. What's this one, though, that says my Get off the grass. When I shop at Peaches and Cream, it comes up as car parts. You ain't stupid. What's this one, though, that says mylotto.co.nz? Oh, that's my lotto ticket. Whenever I get a feeling that I'm going to win lotto,
Starting point is 00:40:34 I go and buy a lotto ticket. That's what everyone does. I know, but what if I got the feeling and then I didn't? Leave me alone. Oh, the what ifs. This is your bank statement. Oh, here we go. Okay, let's go through.
Starting point is 00:40:44 Would I get a property if you were a landlord looking at mine? Why are you pay-palling $46? That's Uber Eats. Why are you spending $36 at Sal's Pizza? Because I like Sal's Pizza. Why are you spending $23 at the Empire Tavern on a Monday? Why are you spending $15.99 at the Bottle-O underneath your house?
Starting point is 00:41:08 This is real, by the way. I wouldn't lie about this. Why are you spending $14 at Bella Verona? What's Bella Verona? It's a pizza place. Why are you spending $12.50 at Bagel Love? Don't answer that. Uber, Uber, Uber.
Starting point is 00:41:22 They're all Uber Eats. I was going to say, does Uber Eats come up as Uber or Uber Eats? It comes up as Uber. Kai Eatery, Uber, Uber, Uber. They're all Uber Eats. I was going to say, does Uber Eats come up as Uber or Uber Eats? It comes up as Uber. Kai Eatery, Uber, Uber, Uber. Po Brothers, Uber, Uber, Uber. I love to eat. That's why my pants are undone right now.
Starting point is 00:41:37 Hey, your bank statement is your bank statement. Don't let anybody look at that. I'm just going to make a bed here on the floor of the studio because I feel like if my landlord hears this, I'll get kicked out. Just invite them around for some Uber Eats. Your shout. Are you living on the safe side of the road at the moment? Are you playing it safe?
Starting point is 00:41:55 Are you doing everything a little bit too safe at the moment and maybe being a bit boring? Mate, I ate a cheeseburger off the ground last weekend. Well, then you're fine. At McDonald's. If anything, you need to rein it in a little bit. Yeah, I ate a cheeseburger off the ground last weekend. Well, then you're fine. At McDonald's. If anything, you need to rein it in a little bit. Yeah, I think I do. Two elderly men.
Starting point is 00:42:10 How old are we talking? Rest home age. Right. So they've been retired. 80s? 90s? Rest home age. Okay.
Starting point is 00:42:18 I don't know exactly how old they are. Right, so stop asking? Yeah. Okay, I'll stop asking. I don't know how old are you when you move to a rest home. I'm so interested. What happened, Clint? They've been found after escaping their rest home.
Starting point is 00:42:31 What do you mean escaping? They bolted and they've been found attending the world's biggest heavy metal music festival. That's awesome. How good, right? So they've fleed the rest home. Yeah. And where they decided to go was the biggest heavy metal concert. It's called Wacken Open Air Music Festival in Germany and it's attended by 75,000 heavy metal bogans, baby.
Starting point is 00:43:01 So they didn't tell anybody where they were going. I love this story. Do you reckon they would have stood out? As the oldest dudes there? Yeah. They've got those walkers that they're kicking around with. Although some heavy metal fans don't age very well. True.
Starting point is 00:43:12 So they could, some of the ones that are only in their 30s look about 60. Could have blended in. I don't know. They didn't tell anybody at the rest home that they were doing a runner. So the rest homes assumed the worst, that they've like wandered off and. Got lost and. Yeah, and that can happen with elderly people sometimes. That's a concern.
Starting point is 00:43:27 No. They knew exactly what they were doing. They were located by police at 3am in the middle of the crowd. Are you kidding? Local police told the newspaper that they found the men disorientated and apathetic and reluctant to go home to the rest home at three o'clock in the morning. Probably because they just downed all those woodstock. They were pissed.
Starting point is 00:43:55 They were pissed ass. That's the disorientated bit and the apathetic bit was leave me alone. They put them in a taxi and they sent them back to the rest home. How good is that though? I wish that was my grandad. I know. I've got no idea what kind of old person I'll be
Starting point is 00:44:09 but I want to be this one. I reckon when you're old we'll catch you at a Justin Bieber concert. I was like, she's going to say Rhythm and Vines.

Starting point is 00:44:29 Zed-Ed is brilliant, Clint. I want to tell you a story of survival this evening, Clint. Yeah. And it's about a man who's from Norway and he purchased... Are you stuck in a doorway? No, but he did get stuck. Ooh. He bought a chair from Ikea.
Starting point is 00:44:45 It was a stool to be specific. A stool? A stool. He recently had a knee injury and he decided he would put the stool in the shower so he could shower while sitting down. Right. With his knee. Obviously that's injured.
Starting point is 00:45:02 Sounds innocuous. The stool had holes in it, didn't it? Good for drainage. Good for drainage. Not good, however, when you're naked and you're a guy named Claude that might have got his testicles. One particular testicle got stuck in a small hole that's on the stool. He panicked.
Starting point is 00:45:30 I love Claude because he's written into IKEA. What, whilst inside the stool? Not whilst inside the stool. Okay, can we deal with the IKEA bit later? I need to know if Claude gets out of the stool. He wrote this to IKEA. He said, sitting there, I noticed the accident that I'd made. I bent down to see what the hell had happened
Starting point is 00:45:48 and I realised that the little nutter had got stuck. He was in there for half an hour. He was panicking, trying to figure out how he was going to get his little man out of the hole. Yeah. Finally. Because I'm imagining a bit of pressure being added, a bit of circulation being restrained, a bit of swelling going on. was going to get his little man out of the hole. Yeah. Finally. Because I'm imagining a bit of pressure being added,
Starting point is 00:46:09 a bit of circulation being restrained, a bit of swelling going on. So because of the hot water and his struggle, it's swollen. So now he's struggling to get the skipper out. And it wasn't docking. No one's calling it the skipper. Yeah, the skipper and two sailors. Oh, no, the sailors. He was struggling to get one of the sailors. Just one of the seamen.

I hope that chair wasn't in main production though. I hope it was him a drink first. I know. I hope that chair wasn't in main production, though. I hope it was just a still sample. Hey, what's up? Sorry. ZDM's brilliant client.
