ZM!
Let's go!
Now let me see you dance!
ZM's Brie and Clint!
Good afternoon New Zealand and happy Friday!
It is Brie and Clint live from the park!
Clint, hold on!
Sorry, I'm just liming over.
I'm running late.
Yep, I'm just coming in hot.
You're doing well, man. I can see you.
I just realised I'm holding the hand that breaks with the microphone!
Yeah, that could have been dangerous. Very, very
nice entrance. I mean, it was very
visual. That's how you do it. We are live
today from Auckland's Victoria Park
and Bree has just done the... Is that the first
radio from a Lime? Yep, first radio from
a Lime. Clint, I'm just going to lock up my ride.
I'll tell you how much it was. Yeah, they're not cheap, those things
at Lime Scooters. I just rode about
20 metres. Yep. Yep. Cost me $4.50.
$4.50. Yeah.
That is not bad. Yeah, but did I look good?
Yeah, you look fantastic. How good's the park?
The sunshine.
Like I said, we are
live from Auckland's Victoria Park. We should do a show
outdoor every day. I'd love to do a show outdoors.
We will be here until just before 5 o'clock
this afternoon because today we
are firing the enormous Slingshot Slingshot.
I know, this is going to be awesome.
So we're firing at different prizes and there'll be different fruits where people have won their spot in the Slingshot Summer Shout.
If you do have a spot, congratulations.
We'll get you something shortly.
If you don't, listen out.
We don't know how this thing's going to go.
Clint could cop a melon in the balls.
What are we firing, by the way?
What type of fruit?
There's pineapples, there's melons.
There's some big eggplants. There's
oranges and eggplants. Or some average
size eggplants, depending on who your parents are. You could cop an eggplant in the
eggplant. Hey, next, we
want to talk Christmas parties. Ours is tonight.
The company Christmas party is tonight. A lot of
people will be having their Christmas party tonight. In fact,
there's a group of people here at the park who I can tell
are on their Christmas party right now. What are they doing?
I don't know.
They've like set them up in different groups.
Yeah.
There's Santa anyway.
Well, that's a very summery looking Santa.
He doesn't have a beard.
They wouldn't be happy about that in Nelson.
We'll talk Christmas party straight after 6.60.
This is Don't Give It Up.
Bree and Clint.
ZM.
Bree and Clint on ZM.
Hey, it's Christmas, everybody.
In case you hadn't already noticed.
Merry Christmas.
Merry bloody Christmas, you filthy animals.
The Christmas spirit is alive and well.
I saw someone on the AM show this morning.
They did 9 and 10 for $10,000.
Named 9 things in 10 seconds.
Yeah.
The guy who won it, won 10 grand.
Gave it away straight away.
No way.
Gave it to charity.
He goes, this is the season of giving.
I want to give this $10,000 to Kids Can.
That's awesome.
Beautiful way.
That's the best one to give it to at this time of year too.
Maybe someone will give their Weber barbecue away today.
Could be.
Hey, we're down here at Victoria Park in Auckland.
The rest of our company is currently kicking off their Christmas party.
Yes, today.
Well, our Christmas party.
Today is the wider company. We're talking like about 1,000 people, the Christmas party. Yes, today. Well, our Christmas party. Today is the wider company.
We're talking like about 1,000 people, the Christmas party,
where everybody comes together and generally there's a theme for these things.
There's always, well, is there always a theme?
Not for the ones where they don't put effort in.
No, yeah.
You know the ones I'm talking about where they have it in the lunchroom
and you have to BYO food and drinks?
Yeah, there's a theme for that one too.
Misery.
Yeah.
Just sadness. Absolute misery. Boycott there's a theme for that one too. Misery. Yeah. Just sadness.
Absolute misery.
Boycott those Christmas parties if that's your one.
Themes for a Christmas party can either make or break the party
because if they're good, people will get behind them
and some people will go the extra mile and everybody will be included.
If they're bad or they're too hard, no one's going to do it.
Makes it a fizzer.
They probably won't show up because they can't be bothered thinking of a costume.
Our theme, I think, is pretty good.
I think it's pretty good.
It's pretty easy, and I feel like you can kind of slap something together
if you haven't went out and bought something.
The theme for our Christmas party is back to school.
So I know there's someone going as Jemay from Summer Heights High.
Yeah, and I heard that Mr. G from Summer Heights High is making an appearance as well.
You're going as a netball umpire.
Yep, netball umpire Wendy, 57 years young.
I'm going as a dodgy-looking PE teacher.
We all know those ones.
My shorts are too short, and they're a bit too tight as well.
Did you do that on purpose?
You bought those shorts this morning.
A hundred percent.
Well, you're either in character or you're not.
True, true. You're going to go, oh, there's Clint. He's got a perfectly fitted pair of shorts. No, I like morning. A hundred percent. Well, you're either in character or you're not. True, true.
They're going to go, oh, there's Clint.
He's got a perfectly fitted pair of shorts.
No, I like it.
I like it.
Give a bit of cultural difference.
I was listening to Jason PJ yesterday, though,
and of course they're in Melbourne
and they have a different Christmas party to ours.
The theme for the Christmas party that PJ's going to tonight,
70s Safari.
What does that even mean?
It's like they've got two themes
and they've just mashed them together.
They've gone 70s is fun and then someone else
has gone, oh no, I thought we could do Safari this year.
And then to keep it out of HR
they just said, let's do both.
But it's not 70s or Safari.
It's 70s Safari.
So I don't know what that means.
Does that mean your cargo pants have to have a flare?
Does that mean your camo shirt has to have a big collar?
Yeah, does that mean, you know, do you come in dressed in disco,
but do you drive a Jeep?
I don't know what it means.
What is that?
I guess it could be fun because it is so open to interpretation.
That's a crappy theme.
That's what that is.
That is a crappy theme.
We want to know this afternoon on 0800DALZM,
what's the theme of your Christmas party?
What have they done for your Christmas party
this year? Yeah, it might be dress up
or it might be a theme for the whole day
like a through line that's going through the whole day.
Yeah. Is it good? We want to hear the
really good ones, but also we want to hear the
really dumb ones too. And we want to hear what you're going as
too or what you went as. 0800DALZM
it is Christmas. It's
Christmas party season. Yep. What is Christmas. It's Christmas party season.
Yep.
What is the theme for your Christmas party?
Give us a call.
You can text on 9696 as well.
We're live from Vic Park in Auckland.
That's probably why it sounds a little bit different,
but we're just talking about,
because tonight our Christmas party's going down
for the whole company.
So there's about 900 people.
They're packing us into one place,
and there's a theme.
The theme is back to school.
We've just had someone showing up.
Someone's gone as emo back to school.
Tavis, our video guy, has gone as an emo high schooler.
Full eyeliner.
You wouldn't have been allowed that.
You've got a nose piercing too.
You wouldn't have been allowed that at my Catholic high school.
You would have got the strap, to be honest.
We want to know, though, what's the theme for your Christmas party?
From the text machine, someone said, I work at a gym.
And the theme for our Christmas party was active wear with a festive flair.
I love that.
No, that's just what you wear every day.
No, that's great because you're going to be comfortable.
So everyone has a great time when they're comfortable.
Someone's texted in from TVNZ, which is just across the road from us.
I love those guys.
They said their Christmas party is tonight, and the theme is
The Year You Were Born.
Oh, that's good.
It is quite good, eh?
I like that.
Erin.
Hello, welcome to the show.
Hello, Erin.
How you going?
Oh, there you are.
There's Erin.
Hey, Erin,
what's your Christmas party
theme this year?
I was the text
and who said
actively with a
festive flair.
I like that, Erin. Lulu Lemon, get your test of flair. I like that, Erin.
Lulu Lemon, get your drink on responsibly.
It was pretty easy because pretty much none of us own anything
except activewear anyway.
Right.
Okay.
That's ideal.
I love it.
This is the chance to go a little bit further, you know.
But then it makes people want to come because then everyone's got that
at home, don't they?
Tegan, afternoon.
How are you going?
Merry Christmas.
Tegan.
Hi.
There you are.
Whereabouts do you work, Tegan?
I'm from Auckland.
Okay, cool.
And what's your...
I love work.
So what do you do for Auckland?
Oh, sorry.
I didn't hear what you said.
I was a kindy teacher.
Oh, cool.
And what was the Christmas party theme?
It was bowls.
Like bowls on a grass field.
So we went to a bowls club and I'm 18 years old
and it was the most boring thing ever.
But someone got real drunk.
All the adults got real drunk and vomited in my car.
Oh, did they make you sober drive?
Yeah.
Well, I was the youngest, so I didn't really want to drive.
It was probably a bad prawn cocktail at the bowls club.
Yeah.
Tegan, do kindy teachers get quite lit when they go out?
Because they're all sunshine and rainbows at work,
but do kindy teachers go hundy on the piss?
Yes, very much. Just imagine all do kindy teachers go hundy on the piss? Yes, very much.
Just imagine all the kindy teachers, they get together
and when they're real loose, they're like,
see you later.
It's time for me to go.
Very much. Someone got out
their guitar and just started having
a party in the middle of the grass.
Okay, everybody down on the mat.
Thank you, Tegan. Let's get Teresa. I love how Tegan
called the other people the adults. And then all the adults got very intoxicated. Let's get Teresa on the mat. Thank you, Tegan. Let's get Teresa. I love how Tegan called the other people the adults.
She was like, and then all the adults got very intoxicated.
Let's get Teresa on the phone.
Hi, Teresa.
Hi, how are you?
Very good.
What's the theme for your Christmas party this year?
Well, I actually got the idea from your show.
We are doing a birthday banger from the year you turned 16.
Sorry, we just missed you a little bit there.
It kind of cut out.
Are you saying you're having a birthday banger-themed Christmas party?
Yeah.
What?
The year you turned 16.
Come as your favourite music artist.
That's amazing!
Girl, where's our invite?
Well, you know, you can come along.
They like the segment.
They don't like us, Clint.
Oh, yeah.
No, I was going to say, screw our Christmas party.
I want to go to that one. Yeah, that sounds Oh, yeah. No, I was going to say, screw our Christmas party. I want to go to that one.
Yeah, that sounds awesome to me.
So what are you going to go as?
I'm going to play a little bit of Madonna.
A little bit of Madonna.
Very nice.
A bit of Madonna.
Get some cones on the boobies, girl.
Sounds nice.
Easy.
Wish I hadn't said that.
All right.
Very good.
That could have meant something real different.
Brie and Clint on Zit-In.
Okay, let's do it.
Let's do the slingshot summer shout. Brie and Clint on ZM. Okay, let's do it. Let's do the Slingshot Summer Shouts.
Brie and Clint's Slingshot Summer
Shouts. Bring the action.
Quite impressed with myself, getting my mouth
around that tongue twisted by the end of the week. The
Slingshot Summer Shouts. At the
moment we are in Victoria Park. Brie,
explain what we're doing. I'll set the
scene. We're down at the park. It's nice.
It's sunny. It's a little bit windy.
We've set up targets.
They're quite far out.
I'm standing in front of a giant slingshot.
It's about my height, so it's sitting about six foot high,
and I'm sitting on a turf bit of grass,
and there's a big pouch where I'm about to put fruit to shoot at you, Clint.
Think Angry Birds, but in real life.
That's exactly what it looks like.
Yeah, exactly right.
The reason we're doing this is Slingshot Broadband Plans,
selected plans this summer.
You get prizes when you join up, like Weber Barbecues,
like Amazon Fire HD tablets,
and the more you put with it, the better it gets as well.
So we're going to shoot at some of these prizes today.
Let's bring on the first person who we're firing for, Hayden.
Afternoon, mate.
Hello, Haydes.
G'day.
How are you? All right, Hayden, come on. We want to win you something for, Hayden. Afternoon, mate. Hello, Haydes. G'day. How are you?
All right, Hayden, come on.
We want to win you something good here, so let me set the scene.
There's a number of prizes, but there's certain tiers.
The further away, the better the prize, okay?
Right.
So you get to pick what fruit you want me to shoot at what tier.
All right, so I've got eggplants, pineapples, melons, oranges,
mangoes or kiwi fruits.
What do you want, Haydes?
Well, the orange went pretty far before, didn't it?
The orange went really well.
Yes, it did. It went real well.
Let's go with an orange.
Now, you need to choose, Hayden.
Do you want tier one, which is the closest and easiest,
tier two, which is slightly better prizes but slightly further away, or tier three, the best prizes as far away as possible?
I'll go for tier three. Let's go for a tier three, Bree. prizes as far away as possible? I'll go for tier three.
Let's go for a tier three, Bree.
Let's go whole hog.
Let's just say you pick what tier, but I'm not a professional slingshotter.
All right, here we go.
All right, so I've just placed the orange into the pouch of the slingshot.
I'm now pulling it back.
I'm going to get as much tension in there as i can

Carla's good too.
Pick your fruit, Carla.
What would you like?
I think I'm going to also go with an orange.
You want to go with an orange as well?
Okay, I've only got one orange left.
That means everyone else is going to have to have an eggplant.
Carla, do you want the tier three prizes, the tier two, or the tier one?
Wherever the barbecue is.
Oh, okay.
Where's the barbecue clip?
I'll go and stand right beside a barbecue right now.
If you hit me here, I'm on a Weber Baby Q1000.
All right, so I'm lining the slingshot up.
That would be awesome.
Yes, Carla, say it with me.

Don't worry, Danielle.
It's also a big slingshot.
All right.
Where should I aim?
What do you feel like, Danielle?
What do you want for Christmas?
Oh, look, anything.
A family of six in Christmas time, anything will do.
Do you guys use a lot of broadband at your house?
Yeah.

This is a juicy, juicy mango for Megan.
Let's see what we can do here.

That was the most dismal slingshot all afternoon.
No, but it worked.
It worked very, very well.
Who have we got up next?
We've got two left.
Let's go to Fleur.
Hi, Fleur.
Hi, Fleur.
Hi, how are you?
Very well, Fleur.
Come on.
I feel like you're the gal to do the pineapple.
I'm going to go with kiwi fruit, sorry
Kiwi fruit
Kiwi fruit?
It's tiny
You want the Fitbit Ionic, okay
there is a Fitbit left over here, let's come over
this side, Bree, if you can knock it down
here, then we'll be giving Fleur a Fitbit
for Christmas. I'm cupping two kiwi
fruits inside the sack
You got it Bree
Alright, let me just aim This is hard because we've got to turn the slingshot bit for Christmas. I'm cupping two kiwi fruits inside the sack. You got it, Brie.
Let me just aim. This is hard because we've got to turn the slingshot side
on for this. Alright, I'm pulling it back
now, flirt. Come on.
I'm going to aim for Clint's
head. Three, two,
one, slingshot! Double kiwi fruit.
Oh, they just exploded all over
me. But we've nailed it.
You've got the Fitbit Flirt.
Thank you so much.
No problems.
Merry Christmas.
This is so accurate.
The only one we've got left, Brie, is Hayley.
She's our wild card.
Hi, Hayley.
Hi, Hayley.
Hi.
Now, what do you want to do with this, Brie?
Because the last one's kind of, there's only one prize left out here.
Yes.
So what I want to do, Hayley, if you're up for it,
we either go the pineapple or we go the eggplant.
And obviously you've got the last prize that's on the board.
That's done.
But if Clint can catch something, we'll throw in some free fuel for you as well.
How does that sound, Hayley?
Yeah, that sounds great.
Go the pineapple, Hayley.
Hayley's obviously never seen me catch anything before.
What are we going with, Hayley?
The pineapple or the eggplant catch?
Yes, girl.
I love your style.
The last thing on the board, and all you've got to do, Bree,
is get within five metres of this, and it's yours, okay?
All right, I've picked up the pineapple.
She's spiky.
Wait, am I catching a pineapple?
Yeah, mate.
Oh, Jesus.
Go long, Clinton.
This is where your rugby days need to come into practice.
Apparently, he used to play rugby.
We're going to see just how much rugby he's played.
Let's go for it, Bray.
Come on then.
I'm ready.
All right.
Oh, God, I don't want to drop this on my face.
All right.
All right.
I think about how much tension do you want?
As much as you get it nice and high for me so I can get under it.
Good luck, Megan.
Here we go.
Three, two, one.
Oh.
Not a chance.
Yeah, that was a shot.
We should go one more.
I've got one more pineapple clip.
No chance.
I've got one more.
Megan, congrats.
You've got yourself an Amazon Fire HDT tablet.

Hello, Grant.
Oh, g'day, guys.
Bree Clinton.
I love the show.
Oh, thank you, mate.
Just want to ask, Bree's made a conscious effort there to say Grant instead of Grant,
and I'd like to thank her for that.
What do you prefer?
Look, I'm Kiwi, mate, so I'm going to go with Grant.
Grant.
Grant.
See, I'm still in the Kiwi way.
There you go.
Grant, what's your birthday?
Look, I don't feel the day of in 33, but my actual birthday, 29th of March, 1976.
Okay, Grant, you were 16 in 1992 on the 29th of March, and on that day, this was number one.
I'm the one who wants to be with you.
I'm the one.
Sheesh, Grant. But I hope you don't feel it too. I need the best for me.
Yeah.
What an absolute ripper, Grant.
That's one of those ones where you turn on the breeze or the coast and you go,
shit, they've got good music over here.
They just keep knocking them out of the park over at the breeze.
Let's see who else has got a good birthday banger.
Maybe it's you, Hayley.
Hi.
Hi.
Hayley, what's your birthday?
9th of January, 1995.
Okay, Hayley, you were 16 in 2011 on the 9th of Jan.
And back on that day, this was top of the chart.
Oh, you big old millennial, you.
That is a tune.
Banger.
Yeah, three times.
This is the song
that really put Chris Brown back.
Yeah.
Because he put out
a couple before this
and then this one came out
and everyone was like,
oh, we can't ignore you forever.
This went ballistic, didn't it?
It really did.
Do you like it, Hayley?
Yeah, it's a good tune.
I'll give you that.
It's a good tune.
Okay, it's your birthday banger.
Let's go to Sarah.
Hi, Sarah.
Hello, Sarah.
Hi.
What's your birthday? My birthday is the 4th of June, 1993. Okay, it's your birthday banger. Let's go to Sarah. Hi, Sarah. Hello, Sarah. Hi. What's your birthday?
My birthday is the 4th of June, 1963.
Okay, Sarah, you were 16 in 2009 on the 4th of June,
and back on that day, this was number one.
Bit of Black Eyed Peas, Feet Fergalicious, Deaf.
What a tune.
What a tune. When they were reigning supreme back in the late 2000s, weren't they Feet, Fergalicious, Deaf. What a tune. What a tune.
When they were reigning supreme back in the late 2000s, weren't they?
Yeah, okay, you wait there.
I have a strong feeling today is one of those days where I know what you want.
And I mean, I took you to the edge the other week when we got Anastasia
and I almost didn't let you have it.
Don't do this to me with Mr. Big.
You know how I feel about it.
You've got to go with me on it.
Why is the artist called Mr. Big? Why is the artist called Mr. Big. You know how I feel about it. You've got to go with me on it. Why is the artist called
Mr. Big? Why is the artist
called Mr. Big? Is that Mr. Big from Sex and the City?
Is it? I don't know. No, I don't think it is.
Is that where Mr. Big from Sex and the City
gets it from? That's what they call him. I don't know.
I know that's what they call him, but are they related? I don't think so.
Or is it a reference to
something else? Size of the
We've got to play it, mate.
I was going to say the size of where it charted
Oh
Yeah no that's what I was thinking too
Here you go
This is the birthday banger today
Yes it's for Grant
This is Mr Big
And be with you
Just for you Grant
I love you guys
Thank you
Show me what he's done to you
We have received an official complaint
What?
Someone's complained to a radio station?
That doesn't happen.
It's come in via the ZM Facebook page and it's a freshie, okay?
This is fresh off the press.
I'm going to keep names out of it because I don't want this person
to get in more trouble than they say we've already got them in
from what we've been doing.
Hi, my partner has just started a new job where they listen
to ZM, which is great because I love your station.
However, recently he came home and made a statement to me.
I've been listening to ZM and I've decided I don't
trust women. And he is now
wanting to see receipts of my
purchases. I tell him
I don't have fast food and now
he's even started paying attention to what's
in the recycling bin for the first
time in his life. And I was
snapped for buying McDonald's. I assume they're
on a budget and she's not supposed to be getting takeaways.
I hope he's not like monitoring her calorie
intake. This is
where it gets, this is what their request,
because every good complaint should come with an action to remedy, right?
Yeah.
I speak on behalf of most of the women in New Zealand when I say,
can you please stop giving all of our secrets away?
Thanks.
I will have to put my hand up and say I probably am to blame.
Look.
I mean, you are kind of to blame.
You gave up my secret yesterday on the radio about how often I wash my bra.
This is what we do here, okay?
This is what we do.
This is what Fletch Vaughan and Megan do.
This is what Belle does.
This is what Cam does.
It's an open dialogue about real life.
We just say it.
Sometimes, maybe we overshare
and if that's getting you in trouble,
well, sorry.
But at the same time...
Is that your argument?
I don't know.
I've been doing a bit of reflection on this
because I don't want it to be an unsafe place.
What secrets though?
I'm confused.
Like maybe the secret I gave up
is when I bought that leather jacket
over car insurance.
See, that's intimate.
How long have I been here now? At Z intimate. How long have I been here now?
At ZM.
How long have I been at ZM?
About six months?
I've just quickly hashed out a quick list of women's secrets
that I've learned since I've been here.
So technically you've probably learned a lot of this from me.
Oh no.
A lot of this is from you.
I'm not a good example though.
Just three quick things.
I've learned you guys never wash your bras.
No, that's just me.
According to you, they're not an item
of clothing that gets dirty.
Apparently there's not pores on your breasts
so they're not capable of producing
sweat. My breasts aren't a bum, mate.
It's not the same.
You should get that on a t-shirt.
My breasts aren't a bum
and my eyes are up here.
I've learned that you all, it's not so much for you because you're single
So you can do what you want
But anybody who's got a partner
Especially if you're saving for a house
Or you guys have got a house together
You all get your online shopping sent to work
And none of the packaging goes home
The packaging gets opened
When I get in here, usually every day
There's about three to four packages for Megan from The Iconic.
She gets so much.
Actually, you're just giving away Megan's secrets now.
Toy boy Andrew could be listening.
None of the packaging goes home.
It gets unwrapped and the clothing item goes home.
Put into her bag.
I reckon it gets put into the car and the car is like a second wardrobe.
That's all right.
I saw him wearing Gucci loafers the other night.
Oh, yeah.
He's bougie. He's fancy. Yeah, yeah. He wears them well, too. That's all right. I saw him wearing Gucci loafers the other night. Oh, yeah. He's bougie.
He's fancy.
Yeah, yeah.
He wears them well, too.
Megan's toy boy fancy.
Another thing I've learnt, women's secrets, farting is definitely a girl thing.
Can I say?
No.
Since, yes.
That's between us.
Since working with you and Ellie, Ben, help me out here, mate.
Is there any other guy on this show?
If you want to keep your job, mate.
Ben.
Have you ever? Producer Ben, look at me in the face. Yeah, yeah other guy on this show? Producer Ben, if you want to keep your job, mate. Ben. Have you ever...
Producer Ben, look at me in the face.
Yeah, yeah.
Producer Ben from Christchurch.
I'm looking.
Have you ever heard Producer Ellie or I break wind?
Ellie, maybe three times a day.
You, not as much.
Excuse me?
Ben, Ben.
Excuse me.
What?
Where does the majority of...
Our team is 50-50.
Yeah, that's true, yeah.
We have the perfect gender balance on this show.
I've never heard producer Ellie break with...
And I've never heard you either, Brett.
I don't know what they're talking about.
Where does the bulk of the flatulence come from?
The female side of the room or the male?
Oh, definitely the female.
Just because you guys do the silent but violence...
Okay, that's not true.
That is not true.
Maybe we need to get a bit more tacticalical about all these things that we're revealing
And maybe we can do that today
0800 dial ZM
What's the thing that you're
Hiding from your partner
And how do you get away with it
If it's an affair, no names
Is it shopping? Have you
got a second car? Do you have
like a $3,000 credit card
bill that all went on online shopping?
We can keep you anonymous with this,
but let us know so we can sort this out
so we don't give away too many more secrets.
How do you keep it a secret?
What's the secret? What's your cover-up
technique? 0800 dial ZM
or you can text us on 9696.
If it's a good one, we've got mobile fuel vouchers up for grabs this afternoon as well
on a free fuel Friday.
Bree and Clint on ZM.
We apparently have been giving away too many women's secrets.
We've had a complaint to say from someone that says their boyfriend has been listening to ZM
and now he knows too much.
And now Clinton Roberts' brain goes,
let's give away more and ask people to call up.
No, no, no.
I'm saying tell us your secret and tell us how you hide it
so we can learn the hiding.
You've got to give a bit to get a bit, okay?
I see.
Share a secret.
We can use different names.
People have changed their names.
What are you hiding from your partner?
There is some brilliant text.
And how are you hiding it, yeah?
There's so many good ones.
One of my favorites.
I send money to my sister.
She then buys stuff for me and gets it posted to my work.
So it doesn't show up on the account.
Brilliant.
Wow.
So good.
But he's obviously all right with you giving money to the sister.
Maybe.
Or maybe she can say, oh, I had to give money to my sister for shopping, for groceries.
For sister week.
Or whatever.
It's international.
Give your sister $1,000 a day.
So I had to give her $1,000.
Where'd you get those shoes?
They just turned up.
It was free.
Oh, you want some more?
You want some more?
What about this one?
Secret storage unit worth $23,000 worth of sneakers.
What?
That's got to be a man.
God, that must be an amazing sneaker collection.
Hi, Crystal.
Hi.
What's the secret, first of all, that you're hiding from your partner?
Is that your real name, Crystal?
Maybe.
What are you hiding?
So going back to your guys' farting chat that you guys are having before.
Our what chat? Your farting chat. you guys are having before. Our what chat?
Your farting chat.
Oh, my God.
I thought you said something else.
Yeah, that's fine.
Yeah.
No.
So I've been with my partner for about a year and a half,
and I'm hiding the fact that I haven't farted around them.
Crystal.
I know.
I just can't do it.
I get stage fright.
Crystal, I'm going to offer you something big here. Crystal I know I just can't do it I get stage fright Crystal
I'm going to offer you
Something big here
Should we get you
And your partner
Into the studio
For a whole show
You build one
And then you do it
On air
In front of the whole country
No
I can't do it honestly
Like
Crystal
It brings you closer together
It does not
Don't listen to her Crystal
It does
No it does
Crystal
How long have you guys
Been together
About a year and a half.
Do it.
Me and my wife have been together over four years.
We're married now.
She's never farted in front of me, and I've probably accidentally done it twice.
That means it's headed for divorce.
No, we could have.
Trust me, it's a beautiful gift you're giving her.
No, Crystal, you've got to do it, girl.
Hi, Holly.
Hi.
What are you hiding from your partner?
So, I like a lot of my partner. like to like my partner and even like life.
Oh, no.
Oh, you're cutting out.
We'll come back to you, Holly.
See if you can move around a bit.
We've got a bad phone line.
Hi, Ellie.
Hi.
What are you hiding from your partner, Ellie?
I am a dirty smoker.
Oh, my God.
How do you hide that?
Yeah, three years and he has no idea. How do you do it? Yeah, three years in the... Wow. He has no idea.
How does he do it?
Can he not smell it on you?
No.
Well, see, I only smoke it working on the way to work or in my car.
And he doesn't go in my car because he's got his own car.
What about your clothes?
So he never goes in your car.
What about your smelly, smelly smoker's clothes?
No, no way.
My car's just a cheapie, $700 cheapie.
Oh, my God.
That's impressive.
I knew a guy who was hiding his smoking from his wife.
He would go to work in a set of clothes.
Yeah, and I'd come home in a set.
Yeah, sometimes I do.
I take my uniform off.
Ellie, can I say Clint can really relate to this
because he's hiding the fact that he's a real big-time vaper from his wife.
No, I'm not.
No, I'm not.
No, I don't vape.
Neither do I.
Neither do I.
I mean, I'm not condoning it, but hey, you know,
if we can hide it like I can, then why not?
Yeah, Clint.
I'm not a vaper.
Ellie, can you hold there because Clint would love to get some tips
from you. Excuse me. Last one. Sandy,
what are you hiding from your partner?
I've essentially replaced
his entire wardrobe without him
knowing. Oh. That's
brilliant. Why? Okay,
first of all, why? What was he wearing that you
didn't like? Oh, like everything.
Just it's all badness.
And so I just slowly, like one wash a week,
would slip something out and just magically replace it
with something a lot better.
And now he just isn't the wiser.
Has he ever said, like, I don't remember buying these?
Yep.
Has he?
I'm like, oh, you must have left it at the gym.
He's like, yeah, no, I think I did.
How dumb are men, eh?
That's brilliant. How dumb are we? That we'll just honestly... Well, if you don't do your own washing, that's what you do. Oh, you must have left it at the gym. He's like, yeah, no, I think I did. How dumb are men, eh? How dumb are we?
That we'll just honestly...
You don't do your own washing.
That's what you do.
Oh, you get what you deserve, totally.
But you'll go to the wardrobe and there's an item of clothing
you have never, ever seen before.
But because it's there, you go, it must be mine.
I'll put this on.
Whereas a girl would say, this isn't mine.
Who have you been sleeping with?
Brie and Clint on ZM.
Brie and Clint's Chat Roulette.
This is Chat Roulette, where we take each other's phones
and we go into the contacts and we call someone random,
just for a catch up.
Oh, I'm so glad it's nearly the end of the year
so we don't have to play this again.
Last week it was your turn with my phone and you called me old mate guy williams he got to open up at deep
hard and funky when the time finally came clint was booked on so early that no one could see him

And spray people with water
They frothed my set

They loved it
It was too much of an emergency
Emergency DJ clean That's what I've heard Not legally allowed to be called by that name I'm allowed to say what I want frothed my set. Did they love it? They loved it. It was too much of an emergency for emergency DJ Clint.
That's what I've heard.
Not legally allowed to be called by that name.
I'm allowed to say what I want.
I have your phone today and I'd like to know who is Em Horton?
She lives in New Zealand.
And?
She's a loose unit.
We actually called her on this show for her birthday once.
Did we?
Yeah.
I don't remember that.
I've actually bailed on her for like three
weeks. Really? Yeah. What did she want to do
with you? Oh, she's just been offering to like,
you know, she's like, come here
to this thing, I'll come to this thing, and I've just
yeah, kept not going.
We'll just give her a call. Oh no.
Hello? Hi, is that Em?
Yes. Em, it's Clint Roberts

Oh no. Oh, of course you do. How you've got Bree's cell phone. Of course you do.
How you doing?
I'm doing great.
How are you?
Real good.
Your numbers just come up in chat roulette.
So we've given you a call.
I've got to tell you you're live on the radio.
Oh, hi, New Zealand.
I want to give you the chance.
How do you think, when your name came up,
how do you think Bree described you?
Oh, I don't know.
Wine.
Wine?
Alcohol. Not far off.
I'll do an impersonation of her.
Em Horton. Oh, she's
a loose unit.
So is she, actually.
Any stories you'd like to share? Emily!
No, she doesn't.
Is she dating anybody at the moment?
I don't know, actually. No, no wonder.
She's very secretive.
No, I'm not. Emily, keep your mouth actually. No, no wonder. She's very secretive. No, I'm not.
Emily, keep your mouth shut.
No, I've actually played on a bit of her Tinder.
That was quite fun.
Yeah, we've had a go on her Tinder as well.
Great.
It's very wide-ranging, very open angles.
Okay.
She did mention that she's been blowing you off as far as you've wanted to catch up,
and she hasn't been committing to it.
Is that fair?
Uh-huh, 100%. Okay, well, I've got her phone, so what we're going to do now is we're going to set up a date for you
two to go to you're going to pick the date and the location and because she's been a bad friend
she's going to pay for it yes yes um so first of all you want to go bottomless brunch that's

You could go tomorrow.
Do you want to go tomorrow?
I'm actually... Oh, don't blow her off.
Don't fob her off now.
Actually, tomorrow sounds good.
Tomorrow, she'll be in an Uber outside your place at 11.30,
and then you guys are off down to the vineyard for bottomless brunch.
I'm going to be hungover.
Perfect.
Okay.
Hey, M, the loose unit, great to have you on the show.
Oh, thank you so much.
Okay.
Kaki te anō.
Bye-bye.
Bye.
There you go.
Great.
Thank you so much.
Three birds, one stone.
Why do you always throw me in the middle of it?
Brie and Clint on ZM.
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.
Or should I say, Fatmas.
I know.
I know. Not everybody wants to think
About the amount of food
And drink
You're going to be having
This Christmas
But would you like to know
The worst offenders
When it comes to
Fat and calories
For Christmas
No I wouldn't
I'd like to live in bliss
And eat my
I'd like to eat my pork crackling
And think that it's good for me
So would I I'd love to But It wouldn'tling and think that it's good for me. So would I.
I'd love to.
But it wouldn't be a radio show
if I didn't bring you a list that pissed you off
just a little bit.
So what I have is one, two, three, four,
the five worst things on the Christmas table for you.
Trifle's got to be in there.
Maybe you could cut just one of these things out
and that would, you know, get...
It's not going to do much
because I'll just eat
something else.
Well, it'd be a 20% reduction.
Let's start out with
shortbread.
It's not on everybody's
Christmas list,
but apparently shortbread
is one of the worst things.
It's butter and sugar.
That's all shortbread is.
Five grams of fat
and a hundred calories
in a single shortbread finger.
In just one finger.
I mean, I'm of the opinion that all shortbread is trash anyway,
so I could easily cut that out.
You obviously didn't grow up with any Greek relatives.
I'll happily sacrifice shortbread this Christmas.
Next, and this is at every Kiwi Christmas, dip.
Because dip, also you don't think of dip as a food group,
it's just a thing that goes on a food group.
Yeah, it's like the meal before the meal.
This will buzz you out.
A single serve of, do you know what constitutes a single serve of dip?
What?
One to two tablespoons.
That's a single serve.
Not half a tub.
One to two tablespoons.
And how much?
Five to six grams of fat per serving.
And that's if you're only having the one tablespoon.
Okay.
Pastry based snacks.
We're talking mini quiches.
If they're the best ones.
Little savoury mince pies. Oh no.
I can go without those. Sausage rolls.
Oh. Don't take
the sausage roll away from me.
They come at the cost of
150-200 calories per serve.
What?
And 8 to 10 grams of saturated fat.
That's the bad fat.
God, but sausage rolls are so good.
I know, I know, I know.
I agree with you.
Chocolate.
Do you want some stats on chocolate?
Yeah, I don't mind.
I can go without chocolate.
One handful of chocolate-covered nuts and one piece of giant Toblerone.
You know how someone always brings a giant Toblerone to Christmas?
200 calories and about 12 grams of fat.
And just a single handful of nuts and a piece of Toblerone.
Jeez, yeah, nuts are fatty.
The last one.
Nuts are the problem.
Cut out nuts. The last one. Nuts are the problem. Cut out nuts.
The last one.
Yep.
Drinks.
Nah.
I draw the line.
You're not taking my drinks away from me.
Every drink, about every single standard serve of alcohol has about 100 calories in it.
And three to four drinks constitutes an entire meal worth of calories.
No, I drink vodka lime sodas.
I'm good to go.
I don't know if you are, mate.
I'm good to go.
I don't know if you are.
Mate, I don't drink on Christmas Day because it takes up the room for the food.
It's the only day of the year that I don't want drinks.
You pour your vodka and sherry into the trifle instead, don't you?
I'm like, hey, Nan, put it in the trifle.
Two birds with one stone.
There you go, New Zealand.
Merry Fatmas.
Have a great...
Holy shit, I'm full.
This time yesterday, you were telling us about a standoff
happening in your flat at the moment.
There was a flatmate standoff that was occurring at my flat,
and it was about dishwashing powder.
No one else? You bought was about dishwashing powder.
No one else, you bought all the dishwashing powder,
everyone else just refused to buy it when it ran out,
and you were all just ignoring these stinky dishes.
The kitchen was a mess.
It started to stink.
I've bought it for the last two times. And your apartment too.
The kitchen's the centre of the apartment.
Yeah, and it seeps into everywhere.
Like my room was starting to stink.
The dishwasher's full of dirty dishes. Disgusting. How long were we talking? Oh, it's probably a week. It's been into everywhere. Like my room was starting to stink. The dishwasher's full of dirty dishes.
Disgusting.
How long were we talking?
Oh, it's probably a week.
It's been a week.
Yep, mate.
I'm a bit of a clean freak.
The sink's full.
But I think anybody would be a bit grossed out by week old dishes.
It was disgusting.
There's some people in Dunedin right now who are just finishing university for the year
going, well, that sounds more right.
Probably should get around to that, eh?
They will have only just finished soaking.
The text machine was going off with suggestions of what I should do.
There was a lot of...
I told you to put the dishes on their bed.
Yeah, a lot of people on the text machine said to do that too.
Some people on the text machine said,
because I mentioned yesterday afternoon that I actually own all the dishes.
Oh, because my other idea was throw the dishes out.
Put them in the bin.
If there are no dishes to wash,
there can't be any dirty dishes.
So they said
I should wash all the dishes,
just, you know,
front up.
Wash the dishes,
dry the dishes,
turn the dishes over.
And then put them
in my room.
Oh, yeah.
See, I was looking
for a petty response
and there it is.
But I like my flatmates.
And then each time
you want a meal,
you just duck into your room,
grab yourself a knife, fork and plate, enjoy yourself something. You like your flatmates. And then each time you want a meal, you just duck into your room, grab yourself a knife, fork and plate,
enjoy yourself something.
You like your flatmates,
but you've got to have your voice heard.
Otherwise, you're going to get walked all over, girl.
Yeah.
For the rest of your days,
you're going to be,
literally, they'll be on the toilet
and they'll be out of toilet paper
and the whole flat will be out of toilet paper
and they'll go,
Brie, can you go to Countdown
and grab me some toilet paper, please?
And you'll do it because you'll never stand up for yourself.
Yeah, because they'll use my towel.
That's the last straw for me.
Is there an update?
Is there still a stack of dirty dishes?
There's no dishes in the sink.
There's been an update.
I don't know if they heard us talking about it yesterday.
But my flatmate, Nick, has taken it upon himself to wash.
To get dishwashing liquid.
No.
Oh.
He didn't get the powder.
But he did wash all of the dirty dishes in the sink by hand.
Let me get this straight.
And I reiterate the point that your house is next door to a countdown.
You are literally next door to a countdown.
Yep.
He's gone to the effort of hand washing
a week's worth of dishes
Yes.
just to avoid
going to the supermarket
and buying more
dishwashing powder.
Like how poor
are my flatmates?
Do you think
that's what it is?
He's avoiding the money
or is it laziness?
I think it's laziness
but then I'm like
that would have taken you
longer than to walk
to countdown.
Yeah.
Some people's
the amount of effort some people put into their laziness.
It's actually impressive.
It is actually impressive.
Anyway, I got outed yesterday when I went out for drinks and one of my other friends
heard us talking about it and then mentioned in front of my flatmate Annabelle, hey, did
you sort out the dishwashing powder dilemma?
And my flatmate Annabelle goes, what dilemma?
She doesn't even know that there's a problem.
It's got to come out at some stage.
Yeah.
Honestly.
Maybe at the Christmas party tonight.
Or on the radio.
Anything else you'd like to moan about?
Oh, there's a few things.
We'll get to it.
Bree and Clint on Zitim.
A couple of weeks ago, I talked about the garlic bread crust that Domino's Aussie were
getting in December.
They've got it now, right?
They've got it.
I said, I'm on a mission to see if us here in New Zealand are getting it.
We ended up finding out we are.
January.
January.
Not long to wait.
It's coming to our shores, huh?
Not long to wait.
I love to break the food news here in New Zealand on our show.
Oh, do you need?
Yeah, okay.
It's breaking news.
Breaking news.
Let's just insert a quick breaking news sting.
That's good.
I like that.
Amazing.
And it's McDonald's this time.
Ah.
We talked about McDonald's a bit on this show,
and I heard word from my Aussie friends
that a burger has hit the shores of Australia.
Hit the shores.
Hit the shores.
It's just sailed all the way up to Sydney Harbour.
Limited edition.
Yeah.
And you might have heard it before
because it's been around for a while. Comes and goes
the McRib. I've heard
of a McRib but I don't know if
we've ever had it here in New Zealand. Never.
Well actually, so I looked into
it. The last time Aussie had it
was in 2012 for the
London Olympics and they called it the Atlanta
something. Nothing more Olympic-y
than a faux rib burger.
So I've looked into it.
It's a delicious pork dripping
in smoky barbecue McRib sauce
topped with onions, pickles and packed
into a soft bun. This is what
I find weird about the McRib.
Ribs? What's the main ingredient
in ribs? Bones. They've got a bone in it.
It's rib meat because it's on the rib, right?
Not the McRib, mate. Not the McRib.
And you don't want a bone in the middle of your McDonald's.
Yeah, you don't want to have to pick out the bones from the burger.
Yeah, you don't.
But then, I don't know that the meat in the McRib has actually been stripped from the rib cage of the pig.
No, I'm pretty sure it hasn't.
But it looks like it has.
Yeah, they try and make it look...
Let me put it this way.
It's like a pork nugget that's been made to look like ribs.
Yeah, but when you get a chicken nugget,
they haven't shaped it to look like a chicken.
That's true.
They haven't shaped it to look like the part of the chicken that it's come off.
So when they make a McRib, have they got like a rib mould?
And they're like, someone's in there going...
Squashing all this pork mince.
And it's pretty like, I don't want to put you off your McRib Australia.
I've looked into it.
Apparently it's made from pork and rosemary extract, minced and squirted into a plastic
rib shaped mold.
Oh, they don't use the word squirted, did they?
Well, on this article it did.
That's how they make it.
Anyway, Aussies getting it.
One McRib.
I'll get right to that for you.
I'll just squirt some meat into this mould and we'll have it ready in a jiffy.
Grab you a smoky barbecue dressing for you.
Are we getting it?
No idea.
Apparently the Aussies are getting it for the summer.
No word yet.
I have contacted my McDonald's insider, Patty, who's been great to the show before.
I mean, she's been doubly great.
What were you going for there?
I don't know.
Trying to get like a Big Mac joke right there.
Yeah, yeah.
She usually gives us the secret sauce.
There you go.
That's where it is.
Damn it.
No word yet.
No word yet?
No news.
From the old Pats?
No.
Well, we'll keep you updated.
The leading show here in New Zealand to break food news.
We're proud of that title.
Hey, because it's getting towards the end of the year,
we've been doing lists.
We did the list of the top streamed Spotify songs the other day.
Oh, so everybody today is posting their Spotify results from the year.
It tells you how long you've listened to Spotify for the year.
Oh, that's cool.
Yeah.
I like that.
I don't have Spotify. Yeah, I signed up to Apple Music. How's that going long you've listened to Spotify for the year. Oh, that's cool. Yeah. I like that. I don't have Spotify.
Yeah, I signed up
to Apple Music and...
How's that going for you?
It's not great.
Yeah.
Might change.
It's just a bit weird
to go with the one
that no one's...
Well, my brother bought it
for me as a Christmas present
a couple of years ago.
Oh, yeah.
And then so I just
kind of had it
and then it just re-news.
I had both for a bit
and then I was like,
what am I doing?
Yeah, you don't need both.
I might change over to Spotify.
But the list for the top entertainment content in New Zealand on Twitter has been released.
Oh, yeah, I'm into this.
So what people were talking about this year, who's the most followed person in New Zealand,
all that kind of stuff.

All right, so I'll give you some of the categories.

If you're in that position where you're buying for a millennial for Christmas,
I'm here to help.
Okay.
This is a millennial Christmas starter pack.
Are we notoriously hard to buy for, are we?
I don't think so, but these are some gifts that I think suit millennials well.

Have you heard about the gin-filled Christmas baubles?
Can you say that again?
Gin-filled Christmas baubles.

I know, right?

So it's a bauble filled with gin.
Isn't it weird how we all love gin?
I don't know about you, but I love gin.
Yep.
But when you're always told when you started drinking and stuff,
they're like, don't drink gin, it'll make you cry.
It makes you so emo.
Is that what people said?
That's what they always said.
I've never cried, or at least I don't remember crying.
I actually took, you know, the Bombay Sapphire gin, the fancy one?
Yes.
One of my friends came over once with a litre bottle,
and I think we told this story on the show, or one of my friends did,
and she finished it.
There was only like a tiny bit left.
Not in one sitting, right?
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
There was a tiny bit left.
She finished it.
The bottle was at my house.
We were going to a housewarming, and they're like,
where's the housewarming gift?
And I was like, I didn't get one.
So I filled that up with water and then gave that as a housewarming gift.
Wow, you're a lovely – I mean, if this is the tone of the Christmas presents
you're suggesting.
It's genius.
Okay.
What else you got?
So gin-filled baubles.

one on the list for the Millennial Christmas
Gifts is a vegan cheese
cookbook.
How to cook with vegan cheese. What cook with vegan cheese what's in vegan cheese
gross stuff no it might be all right no it might don't mess with cheese it's not broken
don't try and mess with it i get down with some vegetarian alternatives because vegetarians will
quite often go overboard to compensate for the lack of flavor that's in like meat and stuff
vegans i don't know that they've necessarily cracked the code just yet.
I don't know that they've necessarily figured out how to get all that flavour back in there.
And texture as well.
Yeah, why is it like, I mean, I used to date a vegan and every food that they have is tried
to mimic, look like and mimic meat.
Oh, because you still love the food, You just want the lifestyle, I guess.
Right.
I don't think anyone's going vegan because they go, ooh, chicken doesn't taste nice.
I think it's more going vegan in spite of the fact that chicken tastes nice.
True.
That's my insight.
See, I don't get it.
Okay.
Hey, Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas to you, mate.
Hey, Merry Christmas.
