Captain's log, day 43 in the caravan, still no Wi-Fi, I've seen everything on Instagram twice, there's nothing left to talk about with my wife, I'm desperate for some kind of entertainment, please send help. What, why are you looking at me like that? You can't just be quiet when I do it, like when I try and do a creative intro to the podcast and then just not stop. This is not fair.

What do you want me to do? Just the same thing every time? Just to come on and go, Hey guys, welcome to the Bree and Clint podcast. That's boring. I always do that. I'm trying to splice things up. And I was trying to get a conversation going about how I can get free movies on my laptop

to watch in the caravan. You're there. Hey, Clint, what's happening? Up yours. Up yours with a banana. Have you been talking to yourself again? No. You love to chat to yourself.

It's getting to be a problem. Do you love having a conversation with yourself or? What were you talking about? I left the room for two seconds and I come back in and you're just having this full-on conversation. What's going on? I heard something about, I don't know, you needing a cream for something. Screw you.

I'm trying to give you a taste of your own medicine. Here's a podcast. Zit-in. Zit-in. Let's go. Now own medicine Here's the podcast Zed-In Let's go Now let me see you dance Zed-In's Brie and Clint Woo! Good evening everybody, Brie and Clint, it's three o'clock

Afternoon everyone How are we? We're good, are you alright? Sorry, I was just looking into something for the Hot Mess Express What are you looking into? Nah, it's a secret I'm organising something behind the scenes I think I've just hit something something for the Hot Mess Express. What are you looking into? No, it's a secret. I'm organising something behind the scenes.

I think I've just hit something really, really interesting. Right. Something big. What is it? Might be an endorsement. You're one of those people who goes, oh, I've got some news. What is it?

Can't tell you. I can tell you later in the show. Oh, okay. And that's called a radio hook. Well done. Yeah. We've also got some news regarding our little pop-up gig we're doing in Auckland. We'll bring you that at 4.30.

Basically, your chance to come and, if nothing else, have some free drinks in Auckland. At Degree Bar. Yeah. That's where it's at. Yeah. Plus, of course, Secret Sound, 4 o'clock and 5 o'clock. I didn't catch what the guesses were this morning. I need to go and check that out at ZM Online.

Of course, we have had some double-ups in the guesses already, so it'll be great to avoid those if you're going to guess. You can go and check the guesses that have happened already. ZM Online, and then you can call us just before four, just before five to play The Secret Sound. Thanks to Save My Bacon, win $10,000. Yeah, that's good. Up next, we want to talk about the release of the new Aladdin movie trailer.

Mmm. The new genie has been revealed. It is Will Smith. We're going to give our critique of that next. Tough gig. Tough gig. Very tough gig to follow Robin Williams. Brie and Clint, ZM.

I've been looking at the watch that you gave me. Brie and Clint. Arabian nights like Arabian days. But this time it's what they call live action, right? That's the new cool thing to do. No cartoons, live action. Same as what they're doing with Lion King. Yeah, which, I mean, see, I'm a kid of the 90s.

So Aladdin for me was like my childhood. Yeah. So it's hard to let go. Just a dirt, poor peasant growing up in the Middle East. You know, I was just a street rat. I was a street rat watching another street rat. No, I think it's hard to let go of the original. Yeah.

And a trailer's come out yesterday with the new genie. Yeah. And for anyone who grew up in the 90s with the original Aladdin, the genie is... The star of the show. The star of the show. I went and saw the musical one that's on in Auckland at the moment. Again, it's called Aladdin.

It should be called The Genie. Yeah. Because The Genie is the star of the show. But the reason that he is the star of the show was because of Robin Williams. Yeah. Who originally voiced that character. Remember at the end of last year that poster came out

and it had the stars. It had the new guy playing Aladdin. Yes. The new girl playing Jasmine. Both of which weren't actors that I knew. And then it had the stars. It had the new guy playing Aladdin, the new girl playing Jasmine, both of which weren't actors that I knew, and then it had Will Smith. Yeah. But he just looked like Will Smith. He wasn't blue.

He wasn't anything like that. We've seen what they've done to Will Smith. Yeah. I mean, is it going to scare the children? Probably. Is it going to scare the children? Probably It's like a weird CGI mix of Will Smith's face slash cartoon I don't really know what to make of it Let's listen to a little bit of original Genie 10,000 years will give you such a crick in the neck

Hang on a second I love that Let's listen to Will Smith, Genie You really don't know who I am Genie, wishes, lamp None of that ringing a bell Is that the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air? No, it's just

It's really hard Can you imagine being Will Smith? Because obviously he's going to do a great job If anyone had to take it over You've got to pick the most loved actor in the world currently And he's an excellent choice I being Will Smith? Because obviously he's going to do a great job. If anyone had to take it over, you've got to pick the most loved actor in the world currently. And he's an excellent choice. Adore Will Smith. He's an excellent choice.

Love him. But imagine the pressure. Imagine of stepping up to that. You know? It's a lot to live up to. And I wouldn't like to be Will Smith. Let's just describe him. Let's describe New Genie without any prejudice.

He looks like, you know what he looks like? He looks like the character for promoting a new toilet duck or something. That is unfair to New Genie. But do you know what I mean? He's very buff. He looks like a character that's promoting rugs and everything's got to go. I was going to say he's very big oh he looks like he would be on the front of a new protein powder oh he definitely looks like like he's gonna be he's just muscles he's gonna be jim dude's dream and do you reckon will

smith has got that big or is that cgi as? No, that's CGI. Although Will Smith is very ripped. He looks like Will Smith if Will Smith ate nothing but chicken breast. He looks like the most ripped genie I've ever seen. Why do they make him so ripped? He looks like a nightmare in a bottle. Do you reckon Will Smith was like, more muscles? No, add more muscles. More blue.

More muscles. More muscles, more blue. We'll see if we can get a little video of New Genie up to our Instagram story, shall we? Yeah, you can go have a look. I'd love to hear your guys' opinion of the New Genie. For the record, the movie comes out in May, the new Aladdin movie, if you're excited about it.

100% I'm excited about it. It's directed by Guy Ritchie, Madonna's ex-husband. And also, it features Hot Jafar, the guy they've got to play Jafar, everybody's frothing over him. They found his Instagram. Who is it? Lots of, I don't know.

Just an unknown actor. Lots of shirtless pics. Watch out for Hot Jafar. That's what's also coming. Bree and Clint. There's a bar in Auckland which today is copping a bit of flack on social media because it's released a new dress code.

Oh, this is always rough. Dress codes are so controversial when it comes to bars because it's so subjective as to what someone thinks looks good for a bar, you know? I'm glad it's not as tough as it used to be. Like when I first turned 18, way back in the... Why? What was it? You had to have town shoes.

You had to have... Go to the bars in Rotorua. Like a male business shoe? Yes, you had to have black leather shoes on. So you had all these 18-year-old guys who don't have business shoes. So they were literally, literally you were wearing your school shoes. Yeah, it was like that when I turned 18 too. It didn't look good, but they were black and leather,

so they had to let you in. Whereas if they let you wear your own style, you might have worn something that looked quite nice. Anyway, we're going to go through this dress code together, you and I, and see what you think is fair. So why are they copying flack? Because people are saying that's not fair. Yeah, people are just saying that, yeah.

Is it a bit judgmental? It's unreasonable. Well, it also just seems a bit like hard to achieve. Okay. So first of all, dress code for this bar, which is like, to give a description, it's like a bar. It's open during the daytime. It's also open on the weekends

and you'd go there for a big night out like a bar. It's open during the daytime. It's also open on the weekends. And you'd go there for a big night out on the weekend. All right. No hoodies. Is that fair enough? No hoodies. I think that's okay. Yeah, I think in dress code that's probably okay.

No singlets for boys. Oh, that's sexist. Oh, that is a bit sexist. Nah, I don't want to see some dude bro in a singlet at a bar. Yeah, but I do. Oh, do you? Maybe. Do you? If he's got a good rig.

What if he doesn't wax his armpits? I do love a waxed armpit on a male. Okay. I think, yeah, depends what a singlet is. I'm going to give them that one. Okay. I'm going to go controversial. I'm on the fence.

I'm going to give them that one. Tidy dress shorts are okay, but only in summer. So when it goes winter, you're not allowed to wear shorts. Right, so they're saying like a chino short. Is that for girls and boys? Yeah, that one is not gender specific, yes. What, really? Yeah.

Interesting. So you ladies, you can't wear shorts in summer. So does that mean, wait, does that include a mini skirt? See, it's so subjective. Because if legs are so offensive, then, does that include a mini skirt? See, it's so subjective. Because if legs are so offensive, then what does it include and what doesn't it include? And why are they offensive in winter but not in summer? Yeah, yeah. What's the difference?

Well, you let your hair on yours grow out quite a lot in winter. Yeah, that's true. This is where it gets weird. No sports brands, Nike, Adidas, et cetera, or sporting apparel, basketball tops or shorts. So that means you can't wear a cool T-shirt that has Adidas written on it. Nah, I don't agree with that. What's so offensive about the sporting logos? I don't agree with that one.

Also, active wear. How cool, like. You could wear a nice shirt that's made by one of those brands. So we're not into that one? Nah, I'm not into that. No hats, caps, bandanas or beanies. Now that is hard to enforce as well. That's a lot.

Like it's not an RSA. You're not taking your hat off out of respect. And what about bald guys? What if you've got hat hair? What if you're a bald guy in winter that wants to keep his head? What if you want to wear one of those fashion fedoras? You know? Yeah.

Yeah. Nah, not giving them that one. This is a dress code that's been imposed by an Auckland bar. That's such an old-fashioned rule. No hats inside. I just don't agree with that. And they're copping some crap with it. You're right, it is old-fashioned.

Don't you reckon? Yeah. I reckon. Because you know where the hat thing used to come from? This is where I understand it. Yeah. That if you wear a hat inside, you're disrespecting the person whose house it is

because you're saying, oh, what, is my roof not good enough for you? Oh, you know those white people memes? Yeah. It's like people, white people love to say. I've just come up with one. Yeah.

You know, if you're wearing a hat inside, white people love to say, oh, is it sunny in here? Yeah. Two more. No untidy shoes, gym shoes,

jandals or slip-ons. That one's all right, right? Yeah, no, I get that one. Wear some clean shoes when you go out. No, oh, no dirty or ripped clothing. That one's all right, right? Yeah, no, I get that one. Wear some clean shoes when you go out. Oh, no dirty or ripped clothing? Will we give them that? No way!

All my jeans have rips in them. Oh, good point. Every single pair of jeans I own has a rip in the neck. I was thinking like because they were rotten ripped, but yeah. That's different. Fashion rips. Yeah, fashion. Yeah, you can't discriminate though.

The last one, and this is the weirdest part of the dress code for this bar. They've decided they're taking a stand against bum bags. Oh, now you've offended me. No bum bags. I love to lock a bum bag when I go out. What does that leave to wear? We're all going to be there in a uniform of plaid shirts and jeans with no rips in them whatsoever,

a pair of black business shoes with no hats on. Sounds boring to me. Sounds like a real fun night out. Brie and Clint. Now everyone dance the exact same. To this one song. And you're all drinking water. Brie and Clint.

Let's get some Spice. Live from Hollywood with our man on the ground, Dean McCarthy. Spy.co.nz He was meeting all the stars yesterday at the Grammys red carpet. It's Dean McCarthy. Hello, sir. Hello, guys.

Good afternoon, everyone. Good evening. Do you have a Grammys hangover? Did you go out for a Grammys party? So this is so boring. I don't drink. Did you guys know that? That's not boring, but that is interesting, yeah.

Didn't know that. Yeah, no, I don't really drink because I love getting up early and I go to the gym really early, so I don't really drink. But I literally am the only person in LA today who is not hurting. Like the streets were literally ghost town type vibe. Let me give you the low note in case you missed the Grammys yesterday. Just spectacular. It did not disappoint.

Red carpet was rocking. Cardi B killed it. Lady Gaga just, you know, parted the sea as she walked down the red carpet. And the show itself was truly incredible. Shawn Mendes and Miley Cyrus rocked it. Dolly Parton performed. Cardi B, you know, Cardi B actually won a huge award last night. She won Best Rap Album, which is, I think, the first solo thing to ever win that, which is like absolutely huge. Another win or two wins

that are making massive headlines today, if you missed it, Childish Gambino's This Is America. Great song, very uncomfortable music video. If you've ever seen it, it's uncomfortable. It's had 500,000 dislikes on YouTube. He won Best Song and Record of the Year while the Album of the Year went to Casey, I had to read this,

Casey Musgraves for her country album called Golden Hour. Have you guys ever heard of her? No, I haven't. Well, Brie likes country music. Have you heard of Casey Musgraves? I've heard of her. I haven't heard much of her music, though.

What do you think that's about, Dean? Do you think that was just trying to keep everybody happy, or? I love you. There is a bit of, I'm not going to lie, I think there's an element of that, but that's kind of Dean? Do you think that was just trying to keep everybody happy or? I love you. There is a bit of, I'm not going to lie, I think there's an element of that,

but that's kind of cool as well. The other thing, country music is so enormous in America. You don't realise how big it is. When I lived there, I was like,

this is crazy how big country music is. Yeah, but have they listened to Post Malone? Like, just saying. Hey, also, also, Dean,

I noticed today Cardi B's deleted her Instagram account. Is that real? Has she really left Instagram? Oh, you know, okay, so I know it sounds petty, doesn't it, really, as the headline, but it's actually got everybody talking about this. Okay, here's what happened. So, obviously, she won

a rap album last night. She copped haters everywhere, right? She was getting a bit of hate because people are just terrible. Anyway, she defended her win. She went online. She made a video on Instagram. Then also today, Nicki Minaj pulled out of performing at a BET event

after BET, which is Black Entertainment Television in America, made a shady tweet about her and she pulled out and then Cardi B was supposed to perform at the same event and so people have been giving Cardi B hell about that as well. So that is probably

why she deleted her Instagram account today. Devastating for me. Behind Brie, she's my number two. Cardi is my number two. She's very good. I'll pay you later

for saying that, Dean. And also, she's having such a good time. She's like holding Trump personally accountable through it. She's like more important than CNN News at the moment. It's crazy that she's leading it.

You know who it's good for, though, is the leading Cardi B fan page. Cardi with 11 eyes at the end of it, which now, with her account gone, that's the only place you can get Cardi B. They've instantly got 125,000 followers on Instagram, Dean. That is a good strategy. Do you reckon Chetting Tatum's following that? Probably not

because he's too busy following Brie. There he is. I love you, Dean. Dean McCarthy. He's live from Hollywood. He's our correspondent. I'll pay you

your double fee later. Spice, thanks to JBL. You can play Summer Sounds with JBL Bluetooth waterproof speakers plus you can check them out at Float 2019. Brie and Clint.

A massive A-lister celebrity, Reese Witherspoon, has come out on her Instagram for National Pizza Day and has named a Queenstown pizza place, The Cow, in her top five pizza places she's ever eaten at. In the whole world. In the whole world. Including Pizza Hut. That's a big deal. And we have the owner of The Cow on the show right now. Including Pizza Hut. That's a big deal.

And we have the owner of the cow on the show right now. Hello, Malcolm. Hey, how's everyone today? Probably not as good as you. Starving for pizza. Yeah, you're making us hungry. What happens when an A-list Hollywood celebrity with however million Instagram followers gives you a shout-out?

What happens to your business? Well, what happens is they're queuing up at the door. It's amazing. Really? So you've actually seen a lot of people from this news over the past couple of days bringing more business. There's definitely an increase in business, but it's also Chinese New Year, so it's pretty busy down here anyway. You can't tell what it's from. How does Italian food go on Chinese New Year?

They love it. They love our pizza. Everyone loves pizza, mate. Yeah. And everyone loves the cow because we're the oldest restaurant in Queenstown. Are you really? Yeah. Yeah.

Opened in 1977. Wow. Remember that year? Yeah. Yeah. No, we weren't born then, Malcolm. Oh, no. Oh, damn it.

Were the gold miners walking over from Arrowtown because they're like, man, I feel like some pizza. There are milking cows in here. That's incredible. How many Instagram followers do you think Reese Witherspoon has, Malcolm? where the gold miners walking over from Arrowtown because they're like, man, I feel like some pizza. There are milking cows in here. That's incredible. How many Instagram followers do you think Reese Witherspoon has, Malcolm? Oh, jeepers. How many would she have?

Would she have 10, 5 million? Reese Witherspoon has 16.4 million people. No way. And they all saw your restaurant. 16.4 million. Malcolm, look, I mean, that's a great celebrity endorsement. I'm going to have to send her a voucher or $16 million. A voucher?

Send her a $25 voucher. Send her one of those ones. If she buys two pizzas, she gets the garlic bread for free. That's right. That's great. I believe her daughter works in a pizza restaurant. Maybe I could offer her a job here. Yeah, that'd work.

I bet Rhys would encourage her to come over. Yeah, well, what a great place to be. Queenstown, New Zealand. Can't beat that. And, you know, that's something we wanted to talk to you about, Malcolm. Because, I mean, Clint and I, we love Queenstown, but we've never tasted your pizza, so we can't really vouch for it on our show.

Well, you're just going to have to come down and, you know, come see me. Funny you say that, Malcolm. Yeah. We wanted to propose an F Celebrity endorsement. Clint and myself, if you guys were willing to pay for us to come on down, we'll do the whole thing, Malcolm, on our show. We'll come and eat there every night for a week. What do you reckon?

Rightio. That sounds a deal to me. So hang on, let me get this straight. You'll pay for us to come and eat free food? Yeah do you reckon? Rightio, that sounds a deal to me. So hang on, let me get this straight. You'll pay for us to come and eat free food? Yeah, why not? This is the best deal of all time. Look, I'll tell you what, I think they've got that train service up and running again, don't they?

You could get the train to Dunedin and then I could get one of those shopper buses down from Dunedin to Queenstown. What a trip that would be. So catch the Auckland to Dunedin to Queenstown. Yeah, yeah. And what a trip that would be. So catch the Auckland to Dunedin train, is that what you're saying? No, I'll tell you what, I'd drive you down myself. We'll see you in a month, Mum. Do a roadie.

Hey, we're up for that. No, we're serious, though. If you want to hook it up, we're keen to come down and check out this top five pizzas in the world. Hey, well, let's do it. All right, we'll take you up on that. In the meantime, congratulations on the worldwide success. What an achievement.

I hope you've got enough pizza bases ready to go. I've been rolling flat stick, cooking fat steak. I'm sort of like the one-armed paper hanger, but the one-armed pizza maker. That's Malcolm, owner of the second-best pizza restaurant in the entire world, according to Reese Witherspoon. There you go free and clint a fox news host has gone on live television and he's revealed something about himself that has

sent the world into disarray yeah take a listen 2019 resolution is to say things on air that i say off air i don't think i've washed my hands for 10 years. Really, I don't really wash my hands ever. Someone help me. No, I inoculate myself. It's just not germs are not a real thing. I can't see them, therefore they're not real. So you're becoming immune to all of the bacteria. Exactly, I can't get sick.

That is disgusting, for one. Yep. Second of all, he's saying germs aren't real. They're definitely real. Let's unpack this together because there is so much involved there. First of all, dumb New Year's resolution, bruh. His resolution, say more things that come into his head. Dumb idea.

You just said that you don't wash your hands. Like I'm not going to come on the radio and say, sometimes don't mind the smell of my own farts. You would never say that. I would never say that on the radio. You would never come on the radio and say that. You know? Yeah, that's just dumb if you were to do that. Second of all, I love that a Fox News host is the one

to claim that germs are fake news. Basically, that's what he said. He said he can't see germs, therefore they're not a real thing. That's not how, that's like saying wind is not a real thing because you can't see it. That is the dumbest non-scientific logic I've ever

heard. It's just giving him an excuse to be lazy. You know who that's worse for than him? Every single person that he meets and shakes hands with or shares a computer keyboard with or touches the same steering wheel as, this is a guy, not to climb down his throat too much,

but this is the same guy who, if he went for a toilet break, say you were on set with him and he goes, oh, I'm just going to duck to the toilet. You know when he comes back. He's business. Worse than that. What if he's wiped his. Yeah.

That could be anything on there. Do you know? Do you know? There is at most three ply between your fingers and your bum hole when you do that kind of thing. It's not the bum hole I'm worried about. It's the stuff that comes out. It's the stuff that comes out. It's the stuff that comes out of it.

You know, the fecal matter. You know, I actually, one of my exes and I used to have massive arguments all the time. I know this sounds so petty. Yeah. They never washed their hands. Your ex?

Yes. You had one of those? One of my exes, yeah. And I would always be like, you've got to wash your hands. What about before a meal? What about before preparing someone else's meal? What about before?

This is where we'd have an argument a lot of the time. Yeah. Before stuff happens. Oh, because you're a finger sucker. Yeah. I'm not a finger sucker. You are a finger sucker. No, I'm not. You are.

You admitted on this show that you're a finger sucker. Just because I sucked your finger one time. Yeah, you told me that I'm missing out on a great pleasure. I just said I've done it in the past. Imagine sucking this guy's finger. Ten years, no washing whatsoever. Imagine this guy touching you and then touching you in that way. We've got a challenge for you, New Zealand, this afternoon.

And some of you won't find this a challenge at all and you're the people that we want to call. Your challenge, gross us out. What do you do that in normal social circles would be frowned upon? You can remain anonymous. Yeah, we can keep you anonymous if you want or maybe you're proud of it.

Maybe you only have two pairs of undies and you do your washing once a fortnight. Maybe you never change the sheets on your bed. Maybe you wash your socks once a month. Maybe you haven't showered since 2018. Maybe you pick your nose and eat it. 0800 dial ZM.

Try and gross us out. And whoever gets us the most, we'll find some fuel for you. We'll reward your disgusting behaviour this afternoon. You can text us as well, 9696. I'm so annoyed. So to fill everyone in on the behind the scenes here, the phone system here is absolutely shit itself. And I think this is probably nearly one of the best phone topics

we've done for a while. We're talking about this guy who is a host on Fox News and he came out on the air and said that he hasn't washed his hands in 10 years. Disgusting. Absolute filth. He says, do we want to hear it again? Nah, we don't need to hear it. He said he can't see germs, therefore they're not real,

and by not washing his hands, he becomes immune to everything and he can't get sick. You're not thinking about people that are washing their hands and have to touch you. That's so grim. Imagine being his wife. What about if he prepares food? That's what I'm trying to say.

Imagine he goes, come around, I'll make us dinner. You're like, no, no way, no thank you. Hell no, that is a hard no. We've put the call out this afternoon. 0800 dials at M, gross us out. What do you do that you think or know is gross, but you do it anyway? We're going to go to Dave first.

Hi, Dave. Hi, Dave. Hey, guys. How you doing? What have you got for us, Dave? I love it when I know I'm going to do a big, dirty, stinky fart and I cup it and I catch it and I give it the big... And I just...

I love it. My own or a wife's or... I try not to do it to strangers, but if somebody and I just, I love it. My own or the wife's or I try not to do it to strangers but if somebody farts and you know You try not to do it to strangers what a gentleman. So you literally think your shit doesn't stink Dave. Oh that is Dave. Even just how

he described it you could tell he was passionate. Um texts, you want to read some of these texts? Mate there is so many texts Someone has texted in and said Sometimes when I cut my toenails I sneak a cheeky one into my mouth No! That's true, someone has texted that in

No, you do not You do not Hi, Zach Hi, Zach Zach Oh, sorry, hi, how are you? Hi, what's up, man? Go on, gross us out

We asked for this Yeah so I I regurgitate My food back up And then I'll I'll eat it again Why Why

Because Why It's like having Like let's say you go to like Burgerfield or something right Yeah You have your favourite burger Yeah

And then you want it again Yeah Like it hasn't sunk all the way down so it hasn't, like, fully digested. It doesn't taste like spew. It's just like you're eating it again, you know?

Zach. That is... Do you do this in public? Do you... Also... No one knows. Like, obviously, I'm not like,

hey, everyone, look, and then, you know, I'm not like that. No, okay, so that's enough. There was no need to drag the good people of Burgerfield into that as well. He didn't need to have that.

Oh, my eyes are watering. Do you want to hear a few more texts? Yeah, and then we'll go to Jess. Someone on the text machine. This has actually come through a few times. Someone has said, I pick my scabs and I eat them. I think that Austin Powers movie has a lot to answer for that one. Boogers I can deal with.

Last one. Because it's dust in your nose. A scab? No. This person wants to remain anonymous. Hello, anonymous. Hi. Gross us out.

Go on, gross us out. So it's not me that does the gross thing. It's my partner that does the gross thing. It's my partner that does the gross thing. I found out not too long ago. He decided to inform me he goes to the bathroom for a number two and then doesn't wipe before he goes to the shower. I've heard of this technique. And I'm completely disgusted.

I have a shower in the same shower. Do you have bleach that you wash that shower with? I do now. Oh, that is great. Now, Jess, sorry, anonymous, sorry. How serious is this relationship? Like, is this something that you can still bail on or? No, it's been like six years now.

Oh, no. Can I suggest the minute you guys have got renovations due, like when you've got some money in the bank to do that, his and hers bathrooms, okay? Oh, that would be perfect. Bree and Clint. Two idiots. One dream. To form a festival ready

DJ duo. In just four weeks, Bree and Clint are the Hot Mess Express. Four days to go. Four days till we take to the main stage at ZM's Float. Thanks to Tip Top Trumpets. We've got our costumes.

We've got the name. We've got the hit single. We just need a little bit more practice. We've got one gig under our belt, which went down in Hamilton in a flat, which we're not sure if that flat is still standing, by the way. That was one of the most ruckus events I've ever been a part of in my life. It was a flat warming and also a flat leaving after that party. It was a flat demolition.

We weren't part of it. We got out of there. But look, we feel we need one more practice session before we hit float. So what we've done is we've organized a pop-up party this Thursday at Degree Bar in Auckland. We've organized the venue, we've organised the sound system, we've even organised a bar tab. Thanks to our mates at Degree Bar. They're going to put on $1,000

on the bar with us. Hell yeah! That's a good time. That's all you need, you would think. Yeah. But we need some actual talent. Well, you know, we thought here's a great opportunity to... Like we're going to be there playing our set. I mean, which is great.

But then you also need some real talent. And that's where the legendary Mitch James comes in. Hello, Mitch. Now, let me just see if this button brings Mitch on because we are having continued phone issues. That one doesn't work. That one doesn't work. And that one doesn't work.

And that one doesn't work. And that one doesn't work. Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no. Bring the headset in here like Fletch Vaughan and Megan did. Oh, hang on, hang on. I think we may have something live now. Hello, ZM.

Oh, the phone system is just really. Hello, ZM. Hello, ZM. We're going to go to a song. I'll tell you what we're going to do. We're going to go to a song I tell you what we're going to do We're going to go to a little bit of Mitch James And when we come back He may be on the phone with us Live radio baby

This is what happens Back in a second Bree and Clint Zedem That is the brand new track from Mitch James It's called Bright Blue Skies Instant hit I mean that is the best song I've ever heard on the radio.

And if he was listening right now, I'd tell him exactly that. Oh, funny that. Mitch James is on the phone. Oh, no way. Hey, Mitch. Hey. Hello, Mitch. How about that, Bree?

You're too kind. I meant it, though. You can write a catchy tune. Oh, cheers, mate. Before we got interrupted by technical difficulties, we were just about to pitch you a new concept, Mitch. So are you familiar with the Hot Mess Express? I am, unfortunately.

That's good from you. Yeah, no, I like that. Don't mind that. Bit of bants, bit of bants. Obviously, as an artist, you're into supporting artists, so you buy the music. So I'm assuming you've purchased the hit single, Send It. That's correct?

At least 15 times, yeah. Yeah. Yes, that's why we went to number one, obviously. What are your thoughts on, I'm going to call it a co-headline. What are your thoughts, Mitch James, on joining the Hot Mess Express for what we're calling the official unofficial float pre-party pop-up at Degree Bar in Auckland this Thursday. It's a buddy melt, isn't it?

We're workshopping it. Yeah, working on that. I have a counter pitch. Okay. For you guys to handle the pressure of Float, I reckon you guys take the headline slot. I just pop in, play a couple of songs. You take the spotlight.

Bask in it. You know, just sort of get myself ready for the weekend. I can't believe that on our second gig ever, Mitch James, the legendary Mitch James is going to be our opening act. That is, yeah, that's incredibly generous. Either that or he just wants to get out of there before we really ruin the vibe at all. Before Havoc really comes over to Greece.

I mean, to clarify, I heard $1,000 bar tab. I'm going to be sitting front row for the Hot Mess Express. Yes, Mitch James, he's on. Okay, so we can officially say this. This Friday, sorry, this Thursday,

if you do come down to Degree Bar in Auckland, not only will you be treated to the second ever Hot Mess Express full-length, nine-minute DJ set, you'll also get a couple

of tunes live from Mitch James. Is that correct? Can we say that? Can we put that on the poster? Yeah, I reckon let's lock it in. Are you being serious?

And also a little feature from me heckling you in the front row. Yeah, cool. You know what? I don't even want to turn up because I have to turn up. I just want to turn up

for Mitch James. Legend. Okay, Mitch, we'll see you there this Thursday. Come on down early. We'll have a couple of beers as well.

Let's do it. It's Mitch James, everybody. Part of our set. Come on down early. We'll have a couple of beers as well. Let's do it. It's Mitch James, everybody. Part of our set. Of course, he's going to be playing float this weekend as well. That's why he's playing the official, unofficial pre-float pop-up party at Degree Bar. And he's an actual headline actor at float.

Four days to go. Not long, mate. Four days and we'll be on the main stage at Float. I reckon we're doing pretty good, though. I feel like we've got momentum and some things are starting to go our way. We've got our costumes, our name. We've got that hit single that went to number one on iTunes last week. Had a huge weekend as well.

I saw lots of people pumping this one. Had their drinks on Saturday. Was in some Ubers. I saw some of people pumping this one. Had their drinks on Saturday. Was in some Ubers. I saw some requesting it in an Uber. Produced by Kings. I've even seen it on Tinder profiles. I did see this get sent through last night. Because you can say what your banger is.

What you're listening to. What your anthem is. That guy had sent it on there. Yep, there's people rapping it. Wait, was he trying to hook up with you on Tinder though? I don't know. Maybe. Worked.'s people repping it. Wait, was he trying to hook up with you on Tinder though? I don't know. Maybe. Worked a swipe right.

He stayed over. Mate, I've got some big news. Yep. Behind the scenes, I thought last week, this song, Send It, it needs to go bigger than this. It needs to go international. So what I've done, I created a fake email account last week. I posed as a record label exec and I started pitching our song around

to different radio stations around the world. Okay, fantastic. I mean, fraud, but fantastic. I said, look, I'm representing the new DJ duo Bree and Clint. They are radio hosts, but they are now becoming DJs. And they're called the Hot Mess Express. And I've now pulled audio. This has gone live in Dubai in the last week.

Take a listen. This is Channel 4 Afternoons with Jacob. Yeah, good afternoon to you. Thanks for having Channel 4 on. All right, it's Thursday, which means the weekend ever so close. And, you know, from this point in, you only want good vibes on your radio. So how about this? Something to really get you in a good mood.

From New Zealand radio duo Bree and Clint. Well, they're from New Zealand, so they'll probably say Bree and Clint. But, mate, this song from a couple of radio guys, it sounds so good. They call themselves the Hot Mess Express. Their song is called Send It and I want to play this every single day for the next year. I'm loving it.

The vibes are so good. Let's play it. This is Channel 4 Dubai. I've got goosebumps. That is fantastic. They are repping it on Channel 4 in Dubai. I mean, apart from the bit where that guy made fun of our accent. But other than that, that's fantastic.

Amazing, right? Wow. I did. What if there's some like chic or something, some like oil billionaire whose favourite song is, what if we get playing inside a Rolls Royce Phantom right now? Who knows? God, yeah.

The next piece of audio I'm about to play you, I'm very proud of. Okay. I messaged from the fake email account, posing as a record label exec just for the Hot Mess Express, the biggest DJ duo out of New Zealand right now. And I sent off a few emails. The biggest radio corporation in Australia are spinning our song on Hit 105 Brisbane. Take a listen.

Brisbane's Hit 105. Number one for hits and old school. What an old school too. Bone Thugs-N-Harmony and The Crossroads. Although I am excited to give you a brand new hit. And it's out of New Zealand as well. Past 12 months for Kiwi artists, man. What a track record these guys are following off.

Robinson, Nothing to Regret. Medicine, Benny out of Auckland. So, these are hits that have come out of New Zealand, but they haven't made an impact like this one has. Brand new from a duo who are getting booked at, like, festivals. First time up, they are that hot. They are called the Hot Mess Express and their brand new song is called Send It. It's your new fave

summer banger on Hit 105. Oh my god. Oh my god. Who cares that we booked ourselves on a festival? They don't know that. They don't know that. That is hype right there. That is what can push you over the top as an artist.

It's all hype. It's ground style. Mate, that is hype right there. That is what can push you over the top as an artist. It's all hype. It's ground style. Mate, that is no community station. That is a massive radio station in Brisbane. What would you compare it to? Like the size of that radio station? That is ZM or The Edge. That's how big it is.

It's big. Did you, I mean, I don't want to, did you just take on the role of manager? Did you just become our manager? You know, someone's got to do it and I'm going to charge you only half the fee. I love it. I love it.

I love it. If you haven't got the track yet, you can still buy it. You can stream it on iTunes. We're international, baby. We've gone international, mate. I'm proud of the efforts we've done. Look at us go.

Get a ticket, man. Float is this Saturday. Bree and Clint. Speaking of our warm-up gigs, we went to Hamilton last Friday night. Yes, we did. As a team, we drove on down to the Tron and we performed at a flat warming. It went off and on the way home, we were all travelling in the same car and we dropped you guys off here at the station, you and producer Ellie.

Producer Ben dropped me home and then he was going to head home after that. But as we were driving up to my apartment, we saw something that you don't normally see. And Ben and I, producer Ben and I, we saw a silhouette. Didn't we, producer Ben? Yeah, in the distance, a nice wee silhouette upstairs. We were driving up the road. This is what happened. We were driving up the road. We saw these two people in the window and things were getting hot and heavy. And producer Ben, who was driving, we got to a certain point

and then producer Ben put it in reverse just to double check that. That we weren't seeing things. Yeah, that we weren't seeing things. So we put her in reverse and then we literally parked up. This is so creepy from you and I, producer Ben. It sounds, I was going to say.

Yeah, now that it's been said out loud. Yeah, it's very creepy now that it's said out loud. Producer Ben chucked the headlights on full blast just to really get, you know, a bit of illumination going on. Anyway, you couldn't see full detail, but I took a video on my Instagram. Oh, because that makes it less creepy. With the flash on.

I'm like, what's going on here? What's going on here? Anyway. Yeah. I've never seen that before where, oh, actually, I think I might have seen it before when, you know, when you stay in a high-rise apartment and you're always like, I can see into that person's bedroom.

But this was from the street. So the story gets better because I've put it on my Instagram story. I've gotten an inbox from someone saying, I used to live in that apartment. Oh, yeah. And I used to do that from that area. I didn't realise how visible it was from the road. Oh, my God, yeah.

Because I think they've got those, from what I can tell, I've seen the video. From what I can tell, I think they've got those sheer blinds down. So it's like the internal blind that still lets light through and you always feel like you can see out but people can't see in. But I think when it goes to night time and you turn the light off inside, you become the dark part and people can see straight in there. That's exactly what happens.

Are we going to... I think producer Ellie's going to put this video up on our Instagram story. You can't tell who it is, so don't worry about that. No, you can't see faces or anything. But can I say, it looks quite passionate. You know what it looked like? It looked like, if you've ever seen the movie, this is an old reference, I regret saying this,

gone in 60 seconds and they're about to steal a car and they notice these two people in the room upstairs. Yeah, mate, very niche reference. I mean, fantastic film. He was gone in six seconds, that guy. People will have

this though. You will have had those situations where you go, those people are doing it. You're like, wait a minute. Wait a second. I think I've just walked in on two people doing it. I think I can see people doing it in public. We want to know, 0800 dial ZM, when have you spotted someone doing it? And where? And where?

Yeah. Are we taking creepy stories? Well, nah, as long as you had legal right to be where you were, no one call us and go, I just went up the side of their house and had a look. But if you've seen it in public, give us a call. Bree and Clint. Bree and Clint. Just talking about Producer Ben and I,

we all went to Hamilton the other night, us as a show, and then on the way back, Producer Ben was dropping me home and we spotted two people doing some, you know... Gardening. Indoor gardening. Indoor gardening. Indoor gardening. Indoor gardening. Two adults.

Yep. Yeah. Late night. We were parked on the street. We could see straight into the window and I was like, they're doing a bit of gardening. A bit of gardening. Having a bit of a hoe.

Pulling out the weeds. There you go. So we want to know, New Zealand, when did you see two people doing some... Gardening together. It could have been outdoor gardening too. Could have been outdoor gardening. Could have been outdoor.

Yep. Jess, welcome to the show. Hi, guys. Did you spot a couple of adults gardening? My indoor gardening story for you is I used to work on the third floor of an office building in Auckland City. And we had floor-to-ceiling glass windows that wrapped around our building. And blocks of student flats wrapped around those same sides of the building that we had glass windows on. And all the men in my office had quite an enjoyable afternoon one day when a lovely,

young, very passionate couple in their student flat across the driveway opposite my CEO's window were doing some indoor gardening. Indoor gardening. Yes. 45 minutes straight. 45 minutes. God. Great.

Great entertainment for the boys. I hope they had sunscreen on. Yeah. Yeah, and no blinds, no nothing. No, nothing. Just straight through the glass. God. I hope they had sunscreen on. Yeah, and no blinds, no nothing. No, nothing. Just straight through the glass. Blissfully unaware that anybody can see through.

Or, Jess, maybe they wanted you to see them gardening. Oh, I hate to think about it. But, yeah, that was a great experience for the boys in the office. It was a very exciting time. Oh, yeah. Can I say, good work from that guy. 45 minutes. I mean, we all know ladies like to garden for a long time,

but, I mean, 45 minutes. Takes longer for ladies to get pleasure from their gardening than it does me. Can I just read out one text? Yeah. So this text says, saw a group of at least five people gardening together. Five? They were at Hamilton Lake.

It was 1.30 in the afternoon. Whoa. Wasn't even dark. So me and my mate saw all of their gardening for a fairly long time. Five people. That's a full working bee as well. That's not just. I mean, that is a full working bee.

That's a real muckin'. Hey, Jared. Hey. Gardening that you witnessed, two adults gardening together, that's what we're saying. Indoor or outdoor, and where did you see it? Indoor. When I was at uni, we lived in an apartment building,

and across the road, we quite often saw some people below us gardening. But one night in particular, they were gardening. She was down on her hands and knees gardening and he was standing up gardening. And one of my mates had a laser light and shone it on her back. And he got quite a fright. She was pushed across the room and you've never seen people jump so high. All of a sudden after that they realised they had blinds. He would have thought she was about to get sniped. I can imagine it would have been like

when a cat spots one of those laser lights and they go straight up the wall. Last one, I love the term stand-up gardening. Hi Hamish, welcome to the show. Where did you witness some adults doing some indoor gardening? Well, actually, this is a story about me getting caught doing some vehicular gardening. Are you quite the gardener, Hamish? You got caught with your green fingers out.

I dabble, I dabble. Do you love to plough? Oh, don't even get me started. I tell you what, so at 16 with my? Oh, don't even get me started. I'll tell you what. So at 16 with my new girlfriend, you know, at a party, jump in my mate's car, get a bit frisky, you know, clothes off. Gardening.

Hamish, gardening. Yeah. Gardening. Gardening. Yeah. Right. Next thing, cop car rolls up, flashlight in the window, saw all the gardening, everything,

you know. Yeah. And we'll leave it there. That's totally fine. Did the cop write you a ticket for trimming the bush? No, actually. No, he said it was well trimmed. He said it was good.

It was up to scratch. It was up to scratch. Hamish, good on you, mate. Thank you for giving us a call. He did write Hamish a ticket for the unregistered hoe, though. Bree and Clint. Bree and Clint's Birthday Banger.

All right, Birthday Banger, we take your birthdays and we figure out what was top in the charts on your 16th birthday. Shizna. Chesna, hey. Chesna, hi. I believe it's your birthday today, Chesna. Yeah. Happy birthday. Shizna. Chesna. Hi. Chesna. Hi. I believe it's your birthday today, Chesna. Yeah. Happy birthday to Shizna.

Thank you. What's your actual year of your birthday, Shizna? 93. Okay, cool. So you were 16 in 2009 on the 12th of Feb. So today, back in 2009, this was number one. Call me a 30-year-old white guy, but I've been dying to play some fray in Birthday Banger.

How good's the fray? Yeah. Do you love it, Chesna? Yeah, I mean, it's kind of a mosh Monday, but I could deal with it. It is totally a mosh Monday. Fletchwood and Megan could totally play that for mosh Mondays. For sure. Yeah, I mean, it's kind of a Moish Monday, but I could deal with it. It is totally a Moish Monday. Fletchwood and Megan could totally play that for Moish Mondays. For sure. Yeah, okay. Happy 26th birthday.

Wait there. Let's go to Melanie. Hi, Melanie. Hi, Mel. Hi. I believe it's Mel's birthday today as well. No way. Yeah.

It's your birthday today. What year? 96. Okay, perfect. Happy birthday for today. You were 16 in 2012 on the 12th of Feb. So on this day back in 2012, this was number one. Flowrider and City.

Yeah, and that's not even the best bit either. The best bit is the Sia hook on that. Yeah. Yeah. That's a tune, Mel. What's that, 2006 did you say? 2012. 2012. 2012. Okay, a tune, Mel. What's that? 2006, did you say? 2012. 2012.

Okay. All right. Wait there. One more. One more. Hi, Danielle. Is it your birthday today, Danielle? No, it's not.

Should have lied. What's your birthday, Danielle? Mine is the 13th of April, 1997. Okay, Dani, you were 16 in 2013 on the 11th of April, and this is your birthday banger. Shit, this is hard to go past. Yeah. Dani, you have

an excellent birthday banger. For the rest of your life, you have a really, really good birthday banger, no matter what happens. I do. I love lords, but I'm not too sure. There were a good couple of contestants on there.

What would you pick, Danielle? It would be either between Lorde and Flo Rida. Not too sure at this point. Not the fray? Okay, cool.

Not a fan of the fray? I could easily hear any one of those songs today. I like them all. We've got to have some decisiveness though. Is Royals a birthday banger or is it still too new?

The only reason, I mean, I'm the biggest Lord fan out. It does get played a lot on New Zealand radio because it is, I mean, such an iconic track.

Yeah. So that's the only reason I would pick something else. Well, if you're going for songs that don't get played on New Zealand radio, then we have to play The Fray. Are we going to play The Fray?

I'm just waiting for the text machine to blow up. Nothing yet. Looks like we're playing The Fray. Hey, Shizna, we're playing your birthday banger. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, girl. Bree and Clint, zit in. I found God on the corner of first and Amistad.

Bree and Clint. It all went down at the Grammys yesterday. A lot of artists picking up a couple of their first Grammys and Lady Gaga took home three Grammys for her song Shallow from A Star Is Born. I'm off the deep end, watch as I dive in. I'll never meet the ground. Did Bradley Cooper share in all three of those?

I'm not sure, but I know he did share in one for Best Pop Duo. Yeah. Yeah. So they shared a Grammy for that one. Yeah. But, yeah, she picked up a few more for that song. And it was, to be honest, I think the biggest news from the Grammys yesterday was uh one of the speeches she did for one of the Grammys that she won where she decided because if

you haven't seen uh the movie A Star Is Born it does tackle some really serious topics and one of those is suicide and Lady Gaga used her platform at the Grammys yesterday to talk about that. If I don't get another chance to say this, I just want to say I'm so proud to be a part of a movie that addresses mental health issues. They're so important. A lot of artists deal with that and we got to take care of each other. So if you see somebody that's hurting, don't look away. And if you're hurting, even though it might be hard, try to find that bravery within yourself to dive deep and go tell somebody and take them up in your head with you.

I love you. Thank you so much to the Grammys. Thank you. She's great, isn't she? I just love Lady Gaga, and I love that she takes these moments of, you know, such massive fame to use it for something, you know, bigger picture. And I don't know, that really hit a chord with me because that's something that, you know, I've had moments in my life

where this is really close to home for me, not me personally, but really close members of my family where we've really struggled with a lot of mental health issues. And I think it's just such a great thing because if working in media, I've noticed over the years that I've been in media is especially in Australia and I don't know what it's like here in New Zealand, but 10 years ago, they used to say they don't report on stuff like this. They don't report on suicides and they don't report on- Same problem here. You know, and they always have said that they believe that it's the domino effect,

that if they report on stuff like that, that it will cause a domino effect. I totally disagree. I think that, you know, if we talk about this more and more, I think people who are struggling in society with stuff like this will know that they're not alone. You know, this is something that's so far reaching in everyday life and it hits home for so many people. And I think it's so important to really use, you know, our platform to really talk about that and how you can ask for help. And normalise it, right?

Exactly, yeah. I think that's the thing there. And from a guy's point of view too, that's why the rates are so high for men because you don't talk about it. Yeah. You just don't. Because you never hear about men struggling.

You never hear tough guys. You never hear of an all black. Until people like John Kirwan came forward, you never heard about your male role models having those kind of issues as well. Exactly. And I'm not trying to make it a male problem. That's just from a men's perspective as well.

Yeah. So for someone to get up and say that, fantastic. Yeah, it's such a great thing. And I just want to give out the numbers. If you are struggling or if you know someone who's struggling, please, please urge them to ask for help and just be there for people. And you can call Lifeline on 0800 543 354. There you go.

Bree and Clint. Today, our show personally spent quite a lot of money on tickets to see Elton John. He's coming to New Zealand as part of his farewell tour. I love Elton John. My wife in particular loves Elton John, but I don't think anybody loves Elton John quite as much as producer Ben from Christchurch.

This is such a good song to hear. Producer Ben from Christchurch, who do you like more, Elton John or Craig David? Elton John. Yeah. That's how much he likes Elton John. Because Craig David pulled out. Yeah, he did.

He did. He committed to come to the country and then he's not coming. Yeah, I know what you're saying. Are you salty at Craig David? Nah, because Elton's coming. I was given explicit instructions from my wife, Lucy, today that I was to spend whatever it takes to get tickets to Elton John. Because this is his last show.

It's one of those ones and you can charge whatever you want for your concert tickets when you say this. When you go, this is my final ever tour, I'm 70 whatever, people will go, well, this is it. I have to sell my car and get tickets. Your wife, Lucy, must be such an old soul. Her favourite acts that have come to New Zealand in the last year are Elton John, Celine Dion,

and you said the other day that she loves Meat Loaf. And Fleetwood Mac. And Fleetwood Mac, and you bought tickets to that too. It's real hard to get her to listen to ZM. Yeah, I bet. So, I don't know how you did yours, Ben, but there was a pre-sale this morning. So, the main on sale is not until Thursday, I think. Might even be Friday.

Oh, okay. Yeah, I thought 15th, but I'm not sure. I think 14th. Okay. But I don't know. Check that if you're looking for tickets. She gave us an incredible stat, though, from the pre-sale that happened this morning.

How many tickets were purchased? There was 23,500 purchased for the Mission one, which is in Napier. Yeah. But their capacity is only 26,000. Wow. So they sold 23 of 26,000 in the pre-sale alone. Yeah.

Crazy. That's not a pre-sale. That's just the sale. I know.. Yeah. Crazy. That's not a pre-sale. That's just the sale. I know. That shows you how hard it's going to be to get tickets on Thursday or Friday, whatever day it is. Right. Let's talk money.

Let's talk prices. Mm-hmm. Clinton Roberts, how much did you spend on Elton John tickets? I got two tickets. Yep. And I was, again, I was under explicit instructions to get good tickets. Mm-hmm. And I spent $670.

How much money are they paying you here? It's Elton John. Oh, but he could die and you don't get your money back. No, no, I bought the $3 insurance. How dare you say that, by the way? Yeah, that is disrespectful. I'm just talking fact. Yeah.

Did you get the insurance? Yeah, the insurance was $3 and I just got it. It's like when Cher came, I definitely bought that insurance. Producer Ben. Yeah. Did you get the insurance? Yeah, the insurance was $3 and I just got it. It's like when Cher came, I definitely bought that insurance. Producer Ben. Yeah. Clint has spent $670. Yeah. On two tickets.

How much have you spent on Elton John tickets? I easily doubled that. What? I got four tickets though. Are you high? Four tickets. Yeah. So? I got four tickets, though. Are you high? Yeah. Four tickets. Yeah.

So? Over $1,300. Oh! Nah, good work, man. Nah, mate. Thanks, mate. Good work. Mate, you could buy half of my venute for that.

No one wants half your venute. Can your venute sing Tiny Dancer like this? Mate, he can do a lot of things. I can blast it from the speakers. I'm going to ask you honestly though, Producer Ben. Yeah. So four tickets.

Yeah. Obviously you and your sugar mama, your girlfriend. And my parents. Oh, and your parents. Did technically Steph, your girlfriend, pay for them?

No, I paid for it. You paid for them. No, that's okay. That's for your parents. I was going to ask, did you buy two for yourself and you're going to scalp two of the tickets?

No, no, that's for my parents. Because you could sell those for an incredible amount of money. Wait, wait. Have you heard about this? Yeah. Producer Ben, tell everyone where your tickets are. I'm jealous about this.

I know. Tell our audience where they are. They are front row. What? The front row. Are they? Yeah. That does not happen.

How did you get four tickets together in the front row. What? The front row. Are they? That does not happen. How did you get four tickets together in the front row? I just bang on time and just went forward, through, through, through, insurance done out. Were you on the internet tower? Well, I pretty much. He plugged the cord into himself. Okay, just look, if you are an Elton John fan, and I know he's not a ZM artist,

but I feel like he's one of those guys that everybody can get into. You need to hustle. Go and sign up to whatever the ticket website is. Get your credit card information up to date. Get on the internet early. Get good Wi-Fi. Do whatever you need to do because these are going to go like that, and then it's gone.

And remember, don't buy tickets from that stupid website, Viagogo. That's a scam. It's a scam. It's a scam. Viagogo. Viagogo started selling tickets to Elton John last week. Exactly. Don't do it. They didn't even exist.

The tickets didn't even exist. All right. Good luck, New Zealand.
