Hello everybody and welcome to the Brie and Clint podcast.
G'day guys, I sound like I'm back in the past because I'm in the Dunedin studios.
Well you don't anymore, you've been on the crappy microphone for the whole show
and then literally with one break to go Brie gets Ellie on the show and I'm like
why aren't you using that microphone that Ellie's on? It sounds like 50 times better.
My microphone was closer to the beer fridge.
I knew it was a convenience thing.
I knew it was.
Anyway, it's been a fun show.
We have done it by distance today.
So see if you can pick that up, keen Trainspotter radio listeners.
Do you reckon people can?
I don't know.
I want to go back and listen to it because I couldn't tell.
But I was drunk the whole time. No, I'm just kidding. I want to go back and listen to it because I couldn't tell. But I was drunk the whole time.
No, I'm just kidding.
I've had one beer.
Maybe they can tell because there's a bit of a delay.
What are you talking about?
There's no delay.
I said maybe they can tell because there's a bit of a delay.
No, I'm pretty sure there's not a delay.
What do you mean you can't hear the delay?
Oh, sorry, you go.
Wait, are you talking?
What?
I was going to say, oh, sorry.
Wait, you go.
I was going to say because there's a bit of a delay.
Wait, what did you say?
Wait, okay, wait, hold on, you go.
Are you there?
Now.
Sorry, there's a little bit of a delay.
Oh, classic radio. Are we the two most crack up friends on the radio? I think we might be. Oh, classic radio.
Are we the two most crack up friends on the radio?
I think we might be.
We're so funny.
Oh my God, we've got to go because Bree's got to go and be the oldest person at a toga
party tonight.
Hey, Ellie's the second oldest.
I'm so glad.
Last year I was there with you and I'm three years older than you and I was by far the
oldest person.
And then this year, oh, how convenient.
I've got a baby and I can't go.
So you've had to go. You really are the oldest person. When you get there, oh, how convenient. I've got a baby and I can't go. So you've had to go.
You really are the oldest person.
When you get there, you're going to get special parking.
Not because you're a VIP, but because they're worried you can't walk that far.
And you know what?
I will take that pity parking.
Enjoy the podcast, everybody.
And we'll see you soon.
Bye.
Bye, guys.
Hey, Google.
What's the time?
It's 3 p.m.
Give or take a minute.
Alexa, play ZM on iHeartRadio.
Playing ZM on iHeartRadio.
Hey, Siri, when are Brie and Clint on?
Brie and Clint are on air in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
Good afternoon, everybody.
Welcome to the show, Brie and Clint by Distance.
I'm here in our Auckland studios.
Brie, where are you?
I am in Dunedin.
Oh, Scarfy City, baby. How's it going? Dun studios. Brie, where are you? I am in Dunedin. Oh, Scarpey City, baby.
How's it going? Dunners. It's really
good, actually. We went out to Tent City,
met some of the students down
here, and it's been good. You're
obviously there for O-Week, yes?
Yeah, we're here for O-Week. We're, producer
Ellie and I are hosting the Toga Party
tonight, so we've ripped
off the bedsheets from our hotels
and hopefully we don't
catch an infection, but we're good to go. Has anyone come up to you yet and asked what
hall your child is living in this year? Oh, come on. That was rough. That was harsh. I
just mean as a 30 year old who's at O-Week, it must just be a different experience. Well,
I mean, no, I couldn no, I would not have a child
that's old enough to go to uni, thank you very much, unless they were a genius. If you're
implying that I'm going to have a genius child, then thank you. I'm not implying anything,
mate. Just asking the hard questions that need to be asked. Today on the show, we're
going to be doing the ZM Secret Sound. That's back at four o'clock today. We'll give you
a chance to guess it at 4 and 5 o'clock.
Bree, yesterday your guess of a sparkler being lit got eliminated.
Have you had any more genius brainwaves as to what it might be yet?
Look, I've been a bit busy,
so I haven't gotten back to the drawing board yet,
but I'm keen to figure this thing out
because, I mean, the amount of people that's come up to me
here in Dunedin today
and were literally peppering me with questions. I'm like, I literally don the amount of people that's come up to me here in Dunedin today and were literally
peppering me with questions. I'm like, I literally
don't know. We don't know. It's just
Soundkeeper Gary that knows. Does Ross Boss
know the secret sound? I reckon he knows.
Yeah. If you see Ross Boss
in the street, bribe him.
Yeah, bribe him. He takes bribes.
He'll be the really, really,
really ridiculously tall guy.
That's Ross Boss. Just go over to him and ask him whatever you like. Actually, really, really ridiculously tall guy. That's Ross Boss.
Just go over to him and ask him whatever you like.
Actually, mate, speaking of ridiculously tall people,
the story I have next is he puts Ross,
he makes Ross look like one of the shortest men on the planet.
Okay, sure.
And he has actually been denied something for the last,
I think it's maybe 15 to 20 years because of how tall he is.
Because he's tall.
I thought being tall was like a privilege.
You've got everything you want.
I'm going to give you the story next.
But yeah, I actually feel sorry for him.
He's been denied this one basic human right because of how tall he is.
All right, tall people, listen up.
We'll give you the details on that after.
Sons of Zion.
This is Come Home.
Bree and Clint.
This is ZM.
Bree and Clint.
Look, mate, I've got a story for the tall people this afternoon.
Yeah.
Which I feel like, I mean, I'm on the cusp.
You?
I feel like I'm nearly on the cusp for the ladies.
How tall are you?
Well, I always thought I was nearly six foot,
but it turns out I'm actually five, ten and a half.
Five, ten and a half.
I think if you're counting the half, you're not tall.
Oh.
It's on the taller side.
Come on, give me that.
Taller than some.
But we're talking about the really tall, the tallest of the tall.
There's a story out today about Brazil's second tallest man who currently lives in Brazil.
Where's he from?
He's from Brazil and he's the second tallest man.
Anyway, he has been prevented multiple times from getting his driver's license because
he's too tall.
Why?
Okay, how tall is he?
Well, are you ready?
Yeah.
I didn't even think people existed that with this tall, to be honest.
Yeah, Brazil's second tallest man.
Stands at a height of 7 foot 5.
Whoa.
Yes, I know.
So that's 2.26 metres for people who are judging it in the metre spectrum.
And apparently he's been denied for, I think, over 25 years a licence
because every time he goes to attempt to get his licence,
he can drive perfectly fine,
but they say that he's too tall for the vehicle that he's using in the driving test.
Convertible.
That man needs a convertible.
Like I've never heard of it.
He needs a convertible stat.
Yeah.
But then again, his legs wouldn't fit in.
Imagine him in an MX-5.
We're in the head department,
but his knees would be up around his chin.
Well, that's the thing.
He needs the cars that we've got as the Black Thunders.
He needs a Jeep Wrangler and then take the roof off it
and probably take the doors off for him as well
because he's so big and just cruise around like that.
I know.
Isn't it wild to think that he actually doesn't fit in a car?
Yeah.
He couldn't get an Uber.
Well, no.
He could never get an Uber.
He'd have to get an Uber, one of the big Ubers, Uber Max,
and sit in the back back.
Yeah, he'd have to get that every time.
Also, what does he do when he catches a flight?
Yeah, well, he would have to be in an exit row.
He'd have to be... Would he
even fit in an exit row is what I'm
saying though. Okay, cargo hold.
Put him in the cargo hold. Put him in the cargo
hold. Is this tallest, what we're talking about?
Is this like, is this derogatory
to tall people?
No, it's just literally problems
that tall people would have.
They need to think about these things
because obviously these people, you know, they exist.
They need to be, you know, obviously catered for.
He'd have to have a custom-built house.
He would.
Everything would have to be custom-built.
His bed would have to be custom-built.
I also looked into how big his shoe size is.
Yeah.
Size 52 shoes.
No, but what's that in?
Oh, true. I haven't done that What's the conversion
It's a size 19
Oh size 19
Yeah that's seriously impressive
That's pretty big
He would only be able to wear basketball shoes
He'd only have to
That'd be it
Surely there's only people that make basketball shoes
Either that or the place where Ronald McDonald buys his shoes from
That'd be about the extent of it right
To put it into perspective I'd be about the extent of it, right?
To put it into perspective, though. I'd be like, man, you really love red shoes, don't you?
He's like, no, well, here's a fun fact, I don't.
This is all that fits.
Like LeBron James, how tall is he?
I think he's seven foot.
Yeah.
The NBA has a few seven footers, but seven foot five is a whole other category.
It's next level.
You know how tall the tallest man in Brazil is?
Because I looked into that as well because I was interested.
No, no idea.
The tallest man in Brazil currently stands at 7 foot 8 inches.
Yeah, that's a whole lot of man.
He's nearly 8 foot.
Yeah, yeah.
Jeez.
That's a whole lot of man, isn't it?
Yeah, right.
I wanted people to call this afternoon because I feel like there'd be a lot of people who could relate to this
where they're like, oh, I'm a really tall person and I also have certain things that I struggle with in my everyday life
because of my height.
You only think of it as being a positive because everyone likes tall, dark and handsome
and you can reach things and you can play special sports like that.
But there must be issues that you face as a tall person as well, right?
Absolutely.
And I want those people to call 0800DIALZM or you can text us on 9696.
What are your everyday struggles because you're so tall?
Tall men and tall women we'd like to hear from this afternoon on 0800DIALZM.
Bree and Clint.
Talking about Brazil's second tallest man currently standing at 7 foot 5.
He might still have some growing to do.
I don't know.
He's 47, so I think he's done all his growing.
But he's been repeatedly denied getting his driver's license
because they've deemed him too big to fit in the car that he takes his tests in.
You're too big to fit in here. Literally. That's what the car says. That's what he goes to fit in the car that he takes his tests in. You're too big to fit in here.
Literally.
That's what the car says.
That's what Wendy goes to get in.
For a bit of perspective, you said he's 7'5".
LeBron James, the current king of basketball, is only 6'9".
So he's tiny compared to this guy.
He's a little fella compared to Brazil's second tallest man.
It's also some context.
He's about the same
height as 14 six-inch
subways. Yeah,
alright.
That was pretty good math by me.
Yeah, good work. We've got some people
on who are tall and they're going to let us
know what they have struggled with
being tall. Yeah, that's what we want, what they've been excluded
from. Alex is here. Hi, Alex.
Hi, Alex. Hey, how's it going?
Good.
First of all, how tall are you, Alex?
Well, I'm 6'4", almost 6'5".
Yeah, you're a tall man.
Okay, that's pretty decent.
Yeah.
And what struggles do you face?
Oh, like when you go to the supermarket, everyone asks you,
hey, can you grab that off the top shelf?
That's the biggest one.
That's the biggest one.
And it happens all the time.
Right.
Okay.
That's fair enough. It's nice to biggest one. And it happens all the time. Right. Okay. That's fair enough.
It's nice to be useful, you know?
The opposite would be that you are below eyeline
and people are like,
hey, can you pick up my phone for me or something?
Yeah, I'd much rather reach for things.
But no, fair enough.
Thank you for the insight.
Let's go to Ashley.
Ashley's here.
Hi, Ashley.
Hi, Ashley.
Oh, hang on.
Where's she gone?
Hi, Ashley.
Hi.
There she is. Ashley, hang on. Where's she gone? Hi, Ashley. Hi. There she is.
Ashley, how tall are you?
Nothing compared to six foot four, but I'm six foot at the moment.
That's pretty tall.
How old are you?
In terms of a female, pretty tall.
17 at the moment.
Yeah, okay.
Whoa!
So you've been obviously quite, when did you have your growth spurt?
Like how long have you been that tall for?
Well, I've always been like quite tall for my age.
I don't really remember a real growth spurt.
For me, because I remember, because I mean, I'm not as tall as you.
I'm 5'10 and a half.
Don't forget the half.
I was this tall from when I was 13.
From birth.
That's interesting.
Ashley, what are the challenges you face as a tall woman?
Definitely shoes.
Buying shoes is very hard.
What size foot have you got?
I'm a woman's 14 at the moment.
A woman's 14?
What are you, Bree?
I'm an 11.
Yeah, right.
Okay.
And I struggle, so I can't even imagine, Ashley, how much you would struggle.
Why don't you just get into men's shoes?
Why don't you just rock?
I have to wear men's sneakers.
I was going to say, yeah, because men wear so many different options of high heels.
Yeah, no, that's a very good point.
Angela's here.
Hi, Angela.
Hello.
Angela.
How tall are you?
No, it's not me.
It's my son.
My son is 6'7", and I'm 5'3".
So, yeah, that was a bit of a random surprise.
He's 6'7", you're 5'3".
Yeah, I don't know.
There's some weird throwback, or he was swapped at birth.
We're not sure.
How tall is the dad?
Oh, he's only 6'1", and our other son is only 5'11",
which is what you'd expect with us.
Whoa!
No, our middle one, he's 6'7".
Yeah, typical, the middle child, I'm the same,
we're all bloody tall.
I don't mean to call your anything into question here, Angela,
but are you sure the dad is the dad?
Oh, yes, they all look the same, all three out of the same pod.
One just happens to be a really tall one in the middle, yeah.
I would like to know, Angela, how tall was your milkman?
I was going to ask you what challenges your six foot seven son faces, but actually forget
him. What challenges do you face? How do you feed someone that size?
Yeah, good question.
The thing is, he was six foot by the time he was 12. And so, you know, he's just always
been tall. It's just all the way he is. And I don't notice him being tall. It's only when I see someone else that they say they're six foot seven and I think, oh my God, he's just always been tall. It's just all the way he is. And I don't notice him being tall.
It's only when I see someone else that they say they're 6'7",
and I think, oh, my God, he's a giant.
And I think, oh, no, that's my son's size, but I just don't notice it.
He's just son's size to you, isn't he?
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah, son's size.
My baby.
Angela's ordering in bulk.
That's what she's doing.
Lots of bulk.
Yeah, you'll never struggle to get anything down off the top shelf
and from the back of the pantry for the rest of your life.
He's just my big gentle giant.
There you go.
I love that.
Sweet.
Thanks, Angela.
Brie and Clint.
Have you been to Disneyland, Brie?
I have never been to Disneyland,
but my mum has raved on about that place my entire life.
Has she been?
Yeah, she went when she was in her early 20s
and she said it was the most amazing experience ever.
Have you been?
Call Mumflex to tell your kid how awesome Disneyland is
and you're like, well, cool, can we go?
And she's like, nah.
Yeah, she took me to Wet and Wild and goes, have fun.
It was wet.
It wasn't that wild, to be honest.
It's too expensive to go.
And by the way, I've already been, so no.
I've got here something I ripped straight off the News Hub website,
but that's okay.
Seven facts about Disneyland.
These are quite good.
Also, you haven't written these.
No, I've never been.
No, I don't know.
Oh, right.
It'll be hard for you to write the facts then.
Very hard for me to write the facts.
You can bank them up.
I don't know if News Hub's been either.
They probably ripped it off from somewhere else too.
Yeah, has this person been?
How do we know?
I don't know, but they're quite good facts.
So would you like to hear seven facts about Disneyland?
Yeah, go on.
Okay, the first fact I've got about Disneyland is
there are 200, over 200 feral cats that live at Disneyland.
Is there?
Yeah, 200 feral cats. You know Disneyland. Is there? Yeah, 200 feral cats.
You know what?
Doesn't surprise me. Can you imagine
the hot dogs and the popcorn?
It'd be a free-for-all buffet for those
cats. Also, apparently they don't cull the
cats, which is a horrible thing to do
anyway, but they don't
restrict them because they help with the rat
problem. And that's a real fact.
They help with the rodent problem at Disneyland.
Right.
Do you think that for the latest movie that they created,
you know, the Cats movie,
that they cast all those feral cats from Disneyland
and then now they've let them run loose in there?
No, they cast James Corden.
Yeah, no, but the rest of the cast they let free in Disneyland.
No, it was like Rebel Wilson and other famous people.
I've heard rebels strolling around Disneyland.
Okay, fact two.
Is that what you're saying?
Do you want to know fact two about Disneyland?
Yeah.
Disneyland is second only to the US government in the amount it spends on explosives.
Oh, fireworks.
Fireworks. They do a fireworks display every night,
and that display costs $78,000 a night.
You're having a laugh.
Which means Disneyland spends $29 million a year on fireworks alone.
Yeah.
Well, I mean, if you look at what Sydney Harbour spends
on New Year's fireworks. Yeah. They spend, I think, if you look at what Sydney Harbour spends on New Year's fireworks.
Yeah.
They spend, I think, a couple of million on fireworks.
So, I mean, you know.
So, fireworks are expensive.
That's my point.
That's where I was getting to.
Okay, fact number three about Disneyland.
45,000 people a day go to the Los Angeles Disneyland alone.
45,000 people. day go to the Los Angeles Disneyland alone. 45,000 people.
You're not impressed.
That's a lot.
I mean, I'm just kind of thinking, you know,
45,000 people went to Elton John the other night.
Yeah, but, no, 35.
45,000 people is the population of Invercargill
going to Elton John every single day.
Okay, that's quite a lot.
Yeah.
Well, then again, there's not many people in Invercargill,
so, no, maybe I'm with you.
That's not an interesting fact.
Get rid of that one.
Here's a fact for you.
Disneyland has only closed three times in its history.
Like, been closed for the day.
Like, been closed the whole day.
What were the reasons?
First time Disneyland ever closed was when John F. Kennedy was assassinated.
Wow, okay.
Second time Disneyland ever closed was when there was a 6.7 magnitude earthquake in the area.
Yeah.
And the third time and the last time Disneyland closed was on 9-11.
Wow.
They're only three days.
Yeah.
Nothing else has caused Disneyland to close since then.
Number five, I've got seven facts about Disneyland.
Disneyland is a no-fly zone.
You're not allowed to fly over Disneyland.
In fact, you're not allowed to fly a plane within
five kilometres of Disneyland.
Yeah, but what if you want to just fly your
family drone and get a few shots of the
family on the teacups? Yeah, no.
No, not allowed. So we can't
fly the drone over the teacups?
That's ever since 9-11 as well.
They put in a flight ban at 9-11. That's fair enough.
Number six, did you know Disneyland
invented Doritos?
Disneyland are the people who created Doritos.
It was a way of them getting rid of old, stale tortilla chips.
They covered them in heaps and heaps of flavouring,
and that is what became Doritos in the end.
Is that true?
Yeah, it's true, yeah.
And so they sold the brand, it became Doritos.
I think they use fresh chips now.
If you've read it on an article, must be true.
Well, don't ask me, mate.
Ask News Hub where I stole this from.
And number seven on my seven facts about Disneyland that I definitely wrote.
There's a secret club at Disneyland called Club 33.
And to join Club 33 costs $62,000 a year.
And it's open to a limited number of people at any one time.
But if you join, you get to go through to like a secret bar and drink fancy cocktails.
And the rest of Disneyland is alcohol free.
Really?
Yeah.
I wonder who's a part of that club, like famous people, obviously.
Yeah, if you go there, that's where it's like when Channing Tatum went there with Jessie J.
He would be in that bar.
That's the part of Disneyland that they'll get shown into, Club 33.
It's like the Kuru Lounge of Disneyland.
Sounds good to me.
I'd be keen for that.
There you go.
Those are my seven facts about Disneyland.
You definitely wrote and did not steal from any other websites.
Thanks for joining me.
Hey, if you've ever cost your work a lot of money,
this story might make you feel better.
There's a set of furniture removers in Canada
who are having a pretty rough week this week
after they cost their company a lot of money.
Now, they were moving a piano that belonged to one of Canada's
top classical pianists.
Her name is Angela Hewitt.
I already feel sick. Are you familiar with Angela Hewitt. I already feel sick.
Are you familiar with Angela Hewitt?
Yes, I love her work.
I do too.
Not as much as Beethoven, but I do love Angela's work.
Yeah, she's good.
They were moving her piano, which turned out,
I don't know if they knew this or not,
to be one of the world's rarest pianos.
It was worth $300 thousand dollars and they dropped it
drop wait wait where did they drop it from so they were moving it from a recording studio
down a flight of stairs out to the truck up onto the truck and the story doesn't specify but
somewhere along the way they dropped it broke the the iron frame within the piano, and this piano, which is worth $300,000, is not repairable.
I can just picture them trying to get this piano,
$300,000 piano, down the stairs,
and I can just picture them looking at each other.
Pivot! Pivot!
If you want to know what the sound of a piano going downstairs sounds like,
this is it.
Yeah, that's rough.
Have you ever done that before?
Cost your work a lot of money?
Oh, I was going to say dropped a piano.
The most I've ever cost my work was when I worked in a gas station and I filled up someone's oil.
And you stole fuel.
No, and I stole their car.
No, I left the oil cap off the top of the engine.
And they drove away and the engine spewed oil out all throughout the engine bay of the car and started smoking.
But I don't know how much that cost.
I was only 14.
I was like, well, you hire a 14-year-old, mate.
You get whatever you deserve.
What about you?
Yeah, have you cost your work any money?
Look, a few times.
I was driving the brand new, it was literally brand new, promo vehicle.
And they had those new fancy mirrors on the cars.
And they were the ones where you could, you know, obviously electronic mirrors.
Oh, yeah.
And I was driving and, yeah, took the mirror clean off.
Oh, you hit something on the way past?
Yeah.
That would be all right though, wouldn't it?
No, I think it cost about $1,200 to fix.
Yeah, right, okay.
Which, I mean, isn't ideal.
And then this other time I was with someone working on this thing
and we had a brand new generator and we've taken it to the petrol station.
And I didn't tell this guy whether to put diesel or unleaded into the generator because it literally said it on the cap.
Anyway, he put diesel into a petrol generator and $3,000 later.
Oh, yeah.
Completely ruined the generator.
Yeah, it'd be stuffed.
Yeah. Okay, well, you've got the record amongst us, $3, yeah. Completely ruin the generator. Yeah, it'd be stuffed. Yeah.
Okay, well, you've got the record amongst us, $3,000.
It's nowhere near that $300,000,
but we'd love to know on 0800DALZM this afternoon,
did you cost your work a lot of money?
Doesn't matter whether you kept your job or lost your job,
and even if you're in the same job and you want to be anonymous,
we can do that for you,
but we'd love to hear from you this afternoon.
0800DALZM or text us on 9696.
How much money did you cost your work?
And are you willing to have the guts to call us and tell us about it?
And are you proud of it, maybe?
Did you cost your work a lot of money?
We're talking about these guys in Canada who are movers by trade
and they dropped a $300,000 piano, and it broke.
Do you reckon they were insured?
I don't know.
It doesn't say whether they were insured or not.
You'd hope if they were a big moving company they would be,
but there's a chance that they're not, that they're just an independent.
Which, if you've got a $300,000 piano to move,
that's your fault for booking the cheap guys, you know?
Yeah, true.
You should be spending the money.
I mean, we've all done something at one point, haven't we?
Yeah, actually we were just talking about that before
and we've had quite a few messages about you
Bree, asking
how did you overlook that time you cost
our work all that money on your phone bill?
We don't talk about that anymore
on this show. Last Christmas
Bree went home to Australia and
used her New Zealand phone
on global roaming for a whole month.
And wasn't the phone bill like $11,000?
Anyway, moving on, we've got a lot of good text.
I told you we don't talk about that anymore.
So that's okay.
You have the record.
Okay, currently I've got the record.
Great.
There's one really good text here.
Someone said, I misspelt the word entries on a nationwide billboard marketing campaign. It read, Entieties. It costs $35,000 to fix.
Oh, no. Old school billboards where you have to get them printed. That's terrible.
But again, is it really your fault? Someone should be in charge of proofreading. I guess that's you. You're in charge of proofreading.
Yeah, that's you.
Hey, Ali.
Hey, how's it going?
Yeah, good.
Did you cost your work a lot of money?
Well, I did.
I was unloading the truck and dropped a few ovens.
It cost them a few thousand dollars to replace.
Bring new ovens.
Dropped a few ovens.
Can you relate to these guys who drop the piano then?
Like, you're in charge of moving heavy, heavy things
that are worth a lot of money.
Are you covered?
Like, does your work go,
oh, that's all right,
we'll get this one?
Or do they pass it on to you?
They didn't pass it on to me.
I'm assuming they have
liability insurance.
Yeah, right.
Right.
You just weren't trusted
with the big jobs anymore, maybe.
Okay, thanks, Ali.
Let's talk to Vaughan.
Hey, Vaughan.
Hi, Vaughan.
How you going?
How you doing?
Good, thanks, Vaughan. When have you Hi Vaughan How you doing? Good thanks Vaughan
When have you cost your workplace a lot of money?
A while ago
I'm a truck driver
A while ago
I rode off a couple of vehicles
I cost the company between 50 to 100 grand
Pardon me Vaughan
He's so happy with it
He's laughing about it How did that affect your yearly performance review Vaughan? Oh, he's so happy with it too. He's laughing about it.
How did that affect your yearly performance review, Vaughan?
Were there any negative repercussions?
Not really, no.
My boss was pretty good about it, actually.
He was quite decent.
Right.
Your boss sounds like the most chill boss ever.
Yeah, right?
Vaughan's still laughing about it. He goes, it was actually pretty funny. Yeah, you've got to be able to laugh about Yeah, right? Lord, still laughing
about it. He goes, it was actually pretty funny.
Yeah, you've got to be able to laugh about it, right?
Jared's here too. Hey, Jared.
How you going, mate? How you going? Good.
When did you cost your workplace a lot
of money? What happened?
Well, I'm also a truck driver as well.
This is a few years back.
Yeah, and
I was delivering chemicals
to a laundromat in Queenstown.
And I ended up putting the wrong stuff in the wrong stuff,
and I made a chlorine gas.
I evacuated half of one of the main streets in Queenstown,
and I think the end bill was about $350,000.
Oh!
Whoa!
And you caused a chemical emergency. Yeah $350,000. Oh! Whoa! And you caused a chemical, like, emergency.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
There was choppers and stuff had to get flown from Dunedin and all that sort of carry-on.
Right.
When someone costs their workplace $350,000,
do you keep your job?
Ah, well, I end up staying there.
You work for free for the next five years.
Yeah, right.
I end up staying there
for a bit,
but yeah,
because of that,
it turned a bit dirty,
so I end up leaving.
Yeah, fair enough.
Yeah, I'd be getting
out of there too.
Can you imagine
every time you went in there,
they'd be like,
oh, that guy.
And you'd go into
the next job too
and they'd go,
any references?
And you'd go,
nah, actually,
this is my very first job ever.
Ever.
Brie and Clint.
Brie coming to us
live from Dunedin today
where Elton John did successfully complete a concert,
I think about two weeks ago now, didn't he?
Yes, he did.
That was one of the concerts that went ahead.
I've already talked to a few people here
who were feeling sorry for me
because I now don't get to go to Elton John until next year.
Yeah, that's the news out today
that the shows that were going to be postponed
to today and tomorrow are now being postponed to 2021 because Elton needs –
Not long to wait.
Yeah, he needs more time.
Just another year.
To get better.
Those shows aren't going to happen.
I'm going to come out and say it.
Why would you say that to me?
I don't think they're going to happen.
I think that he's –
He's going to die.
No, no, no, no, not that at all.
No.
That's what everyone's saying.
Everyone's making the joke.
I mean, he's got a super hectic concert tour.
Yeah, his schedule is hectic.
And he's in his 70s.
Not that people in their 70s aren't capable.
It's just it's such a high energy show.
And if he's got pneumonia or walking pneumonia into the tour already,
they're just going to go, all right, we've got to slash and burn.
Because Elton John staying alive is more important
than Elton John coming back for two more concerts.
Well, you know what?
I would rather him just tell it to us straight now
than make us wait a year and then in a year's time disappoint us again.
Yeah, so you don't get to go at all.
Producer Ben is actually one of the biggest Elton John fans I know.
And you and I got to go to the Sunday night
show so we've seen two thirds of Elton John's
show. Yeah we have and it was incredible.
So Ben went and bought
another ticket for
what was going to be tonight's show. Yes tonight.
Which is now cancelled which shows you
how much of a fan he is and yet
I find this really interesting Bree.
Ben is also one of the people
who is now saying
he deserves a refund
or at least a partial refund
on the first gig of Elton John
that he went to.
Not a true fan.
Not a true fan.
What's your logic there, Ben?
How can you justify
taking poor old Elton John
Yeah, right.
who has walking pneumonia
to the cleaners
because you didn't get to see
six or seven songs
at the end of the show?
I am not bothered about not seeing six or seven songs.
I think that concert is by far the best concert
I've ever been in my life.
Sounds like you are bothered to me.
Yeah, sounds like it.
But those tickets cost me $1,400.
Whoa!
And I was like, $200, $300 might be nice back.
Yeah, I can see that.
So it can cover the cost of me paying for a ticket tonight,
which I can't go to.
Yeah, right.
What you're saying is, is that you're cheap.
Well, arguably he's not cheap because he laid out $1,400 in the first place.
I'm just trying to steer him.
I think, to be honest, in my opinion, people who want a refund,
I see it from their side.
People who don't want a refund, I also see it from their side.
Here's the thing, though.
Elton John played an hour and 45 minutes.
It's true.
Most gigs are usually about an hour and a half to two hours tops.
People are only annoyed because they know that Elton was going to play
for three hours because that's what he did at the gigs prior.
You know?
So arguably you've had a full show and people are going,
well, I heard there should have been more.
It's like I said to you, Clint.
It's like you go to a restaurant and they bring out, you know,
half, three quarters of the meal and they say, look, our cooking stuff,
it broke, the oven's broken down halfway through,
but here's three quarters of it.
Yeah.
You wouldn't be impressed. But what if that three quarters that you received was actually larger than a full meal at a different restaurant?
Or what if it was one of the best meals you've ever had?
There it is.
That's the other thing, right?
I'd probably be pretty stoked.
I probably wouldn't care.
What you've also got is you've got a completely unique Elton John experience.
I know.
No one else, apart from people there on Sunday night,
got to see Elton John nearly die from walking pneumonia.
And money can't buy that. Oh, my from walking pneumonia. And money can't buy that.
Oh, my God.
You know, money can't buy that.
Well, you weren't...
Mate, they had St. John's on the stage.
He's a person.
I know he's a person.
And Ben wants to take him to the cleaners
to get some of his money back.
How do you think he affords those Gucci sunglasses
that he wears on stage?
I don't know, but I want a pair.
Not by giving out refunds, that's for sure.
Well, in fairness, he's got insurance.
It's not even going to come from him.
Yeah, to be fair, it's got absolutely nothing to do with Elton John whatsoever.
No.
So maybe tuck in.
Can you register my refund as well?
Yeah, sure.
While you're at it?
Yeah.
Actually, can you register mine too?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I didn't even go, but...
Sort us all out.
That'd be great.
Keeping up to date with the news just became a little easier.

Bree and Clint.
Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop.
Stop.
Have you had your casual eight Wednesday beers again?
Excuse me?
I have done nothing of the sort.
Sorry, I know.
It's only six.
It's Halsey and You Should Be Sad on ZM with Bree and Clint.
It's a Clint tradition that he has six beers on a Wednesday.
He loves it.
It's so not true whatsoever.
A little bit true.
A little bit true.
Have you ever heard of the website beautifulpeople.com?
No. You've never heard of that website beautiful people.com no you've never heard
of that website before no is it a rude website no it's not it's not a rude website it's actually a
dating website and it's a bit controversial um and i've actually talked about this on an old radio
show of mine where essentially you upload a picture of yourself to this website and then people who are already a part of the dating website
vote you in based on whether they think you're beautiful enough.
Oh, ruthless.
It's such a ridiculous, like, dating site.
It's so dumb.
But, you know, we get a few laughs out of it
and it's kind of like, you know, who's really taking this seriously?
Have you put yourself on it?
Yeah, so we did it for me,
and we put one of the ugliest photos I've ever taken on there.
Oh, yeah?
And, you know, shock horror, I didn't get accepted.
Didn't get in.
Pretty disappointed.
It's true.
It'd be fun to put our regular selves in.
You want to do it?
No, I don't want to be on a dating website.
No, but we could just upload our pictures and see if we got accepted.
I just don't think it can lead to good things if we end up.
To be honest, I don't really care if I get accepted or not to a website that's doing that kind of stuff.
But this is kind of funny.
And, I mean, I'm not taking this too seriously. has released figures as to depending on where people are from,
who is essentially the nationality that gets accepted the least.
Does that make sense?
This seems like dangerous territory, but yes, I get what you mean.
Essentially, what it's saying, to put it harshly,
where do the ugliest people come from?
According to these self-determined beautiful people.
Exactly right.
But do you want to know?
That's the important bits.
No, absolutely I want to know.
Of course you want to know.
So some of the first statistics,
and I found this quite shocking,
and I do not agree with this.
Apparently the second least attractive people,
based on this website,
are from Britain.
Oh.
Only 9% of British male applicants, so this is for the male gender,
were successful in getting added to this website.
Yeah.
Which I think is, I mean, David Beckham, hello.
Yeah, but one hot man does not a nationality make.
Nah, I think the Brits are hot.
Incredibly tight pants is what I'll say about the British men at the moment.
And I like that.
Don't mind it.
You like them Love Island tight?
Oh, maybe that's a little bit too tight.
That's what I'm talking about.
I want some circulation into the jewels.
Yeah, right?
That's what I'm worried about for those guys, their future breeding potential.
Yeah, exactly.
So Britain comes in at number two.
Yes.
And the least accepted was the Irish men.
Oh, that's racist to my people.
Are you Irish?
Yeah, part Irish, yeah.
Oh, there you go.
No, Irish men.
Irish men, only 6% of people from Ireland that were male got accepted to this website.
Do women still vibe an Irish accent?
Is that something that you guys get into? I don't mind an Irish man accent, yeah.
And is that the issue that they're just judging it on photos?
Well, that's the thing.
Because I feel like an exotic accent like that can really get someone over the line.
Over the line, yeah.
And I mean, personality stuff.
Maybe it's just a tan situation.
Maybe it's no one from that region of the world.
Because some of the Irish men were interviewed about this.
They asked them how they felt or whatever.
And a lot of them said they reckon it was because they get no sun.
Yeah, right, okay.
That's salting the wounds to go up to an Irish person and go, Sir, why do you think you've been voted
the ugliest people in the world?
What is your opinion on that?
Do you want to know who was the most successful
male applicants? Yeah.
Of course, and this is no
shock to me,
the Swedish were the most
accepted males with
60% of them being
accepted to the site. Really?
That's disappointing.
It's just fairly generic.
You know, it just seems like a default
category. Good for you guys. Well done
Sweden.
Let's have a round of the
Nickname Origin game.
Nick, Nick, Nick, Nick, Nick, Nick, Nick, Nick.
Nickname Origins.
We've got to update that intro.
I mean, we say it every time, but...
We've got to update that intro.
It's just horrific.
It's just horrific.
All you've got to do is tell us your nickname.
Brie and I will try and guess how you got that nickname.
And if you have the best nickname origin story,
then you're going to win some free mobile fuel off us.
Yeah, that's how we play. Let's start with
Renee. Hi, Renee.
Hey, yes it is.
What's your nickname?
Yeah, what's your nickname?
My nickname is Rampage.
Rampage. Rampage Renee.
Okay, where does she get the nickname?
Was she in the UFC
and her name was
Rampage Renee?
Maybe.
Maybe she gets, once she has a few tequila shots,
she gets, you know, a little bit cray-cray.
I think that's possibly more accurate.
Maybe she rides bulls for a living.
Professional bull rider.
Judging by her laughter in the background,
I'd say it's drinking related
Yeah, she gets a little bit rampage-y on a few bourbons
On a few alcoholic drinks of any sort
Renee, is that how you got your nickname?
It's not, unfortunately
I wish it was, though
Why do they call you Rampage?
I started out with a new personal trainer
And he just thought I looked really angry when I concentrated,
and he was like, right, you're going to lift some heavy stuff,
and we're going to call you Rampage because you just look like a real angry person.
Your other nickname could be resting bitch face.
Okay, that's Renee's.
Let's get Rhiannon on.
Hi, Rhiannon.
Hi, Rhiannon.
Hi, guys.
What's your nickname? My nickname's Rh's. Let's get Rhiannon on. Hi, Rhiannon. Hi, Rhiannon. Hi, guys. What's your nickname?
My nickname's Rhino.
Rhino.
Oh, Rhiannon.
Very similar to Rampage Renee.
Now, Rhiannon, I, as a child,
it's been talked about on this show,
had a lump in the centre of my forehead.
It's where they cut the dick off.
No, you said that and that's not true.
I got called Unicorn Boy.
Did she have a lump on her head, Bree, which is why they called her Rhino?
I'd like to think no because that's pretty horrible.
So I don't want that to be the case.
Rhino, Rhino.
Maybe she used to ram a lot of things with her head.
What are rhinos?
They're horny.
Yes.
Oh, maybe she's really horny.
Rhiannon, do they call you...
I'm going to go with that.
Let's go with that.
Rhiannon, do they call you Rhino
because you're really horny?
I wish, but no.
I love her answer.
I wish.
I wish.
Okay, why is it Rhino?
Why is your nickname Rhino?
So when I was about...
This has probably been happening
for about 12 years now. I've been gettingino? So when I was about, this has probably been happening for about 12 years now.
I've been getting called this.
When I was little, my cousins used to antagonize me to the point where I used to try to chase them
and just try to push them and hurt them as hard as I could.
I told you.
You would charge like a rhino.
Yeah.
They used to, if I was sitting on the couch and they wanted to sit on my seat,
they would push me, pull my hair, rip me off the couch.
Ah, and there you go, rhino.
Sounds like you could have had Renee's nickname as well, Rampage.
Rampage.
We'll get one more.
Ash is here.
Ash, what's your nickname?
G'day, Ash.
G'day, g'day.
It's Squirt.
Ash.
Thanks, Ash.
Okay.
I think it's something, but I'm not going to say it because that's not appropriate.
What about his short people call short people squirt?
Get over here, squirt.
Yeah.
Yeah, it just lends itself to the dirty one.
No, that's not the case.
Ash, can we ask a question?
Is the reason you're called Squirt safe
for the radio? It is
safe for the radio, but that's not the
right answer. Okay.
Okay, well now you've given us a hint.
It's a big hint. I'm going to go with
it's not because he's short. It's not because
he's short.
It's because...
I've got nothing. I've got nothing.
Why do they call you Squirt, Ash?
So growing up, I was a huge Pokemon fan
and my favourite Pokemon was Squirtle.
Squirtle.
How did I not know that?
That was my favourite.
Ever since then, my mum's always called me Squirt
and it's just stuck to this day.
There you go.
That's exactly why it is.
Yeah, see, I get called Blastoise.
I think we give the prize to Resting Bitchface.
Do you agree, Brie?
Yeah, Resting Bitchface has it.
Renee, Resting Bitchface Rampage, congratulations.
You have the best nickname origin story today,
and we're going to send you $50 of mobile fuel.
Amazing.
Thank you so much.
RBF.
RBF.
Bree and Clint.
Look, this is a juicy question, and something you might not have thought about too much
or maybe it's caused a fight in your new relationship.
Do you keep or delete pictures of your ex on your social media?
Very interesting question.
And not a question that any other generation before ours has ever had to think about.
No.
Exactly right.
I saw it actually on Fletch Vaughan and Megan's polly poll.
It was one of the questions they were asking.
Polly poll.
Polly poll, I'm pretty sure it's called.
Yeah.
Roly poll.
Polly moly.
Roly moly.
Polly moly.
Polly moly polly.
Polly moly polly.
Polly moly.
Oh, polly moly.
It was a poll that Fletch Vaughan and Megan asked.
Pretty much.
Yeah.
And it made me think about it because I've had this conversation
with a few of my friends before, new people I was dating.
It sometimes caused a fight.
Have you ever thought about this?
Or are you in the generation where you probably didn't really have to think about it?
Excuse me?
Well, I'm just saying you've been in a relationship for like 100 years.
I have not. I've been in a relationship for like 100 years. I have not.
I've been in a relationship for about six years.
That's a fair while.
Yeah, but Facebook's been around for ages.
And so, yeah, it's an interesting question
because my previous relationship is all on my Facebook back in the day as well.
Like, that's just how you lived your life.
You uploaded moments and stuff.
And I didn't think to go through after that relationship ended
and cull everything.
No.
And you know when it causes an issue?
Is when you get a Facebook memory pop up.
And so when you open your Facebook for the first time that day,
the memory just pops up and you don't choose your memory
and it'll go, here's your Facebook memory from 10 years ago
and it's you and your ex.
And you might be there with your current partner
and then that comes up and they go,
why is there a picture of you and your ex on your facebook and you go well i didn't i didn't i
didn't mean it to be it's just happened 10 years ago part of my life yeah i think facebook is out
for me and this is why i said i don't know if you can really relate because you've been like in a
relationship for six years i think instagram is the key yeah because people can literally swipe
really quickly down and they can kind of see what you
were doing in your life at any certain point. Yeah. Whereas Facebook's a little bit different.
Okay. So have you, so have you gone through your Instagram and deleted the photos of your ex?
No, I haven't. Um, and there's a reason one I've never thought so much into it or I've never
been so angry at someone where I've been like I'm going to delete everything yeah about a person that I actually really cared about at one point you know
yeah um I think there's a time where I would delete pictures of my ex is probably the affectionate
really lovey-dovey ones if you start to date someone new yeah out of respect you'd do out of
respect and if they felt uncomfortable about it, which I mean that's a
conversation between you and your new partner.
But I think for me
you've shared something with someone
and obviously enough to post about
it and it's a
story in your life. It's a part of your life.
And further to that, this is my other take on
it and this might be selfish.
I'm in the photos. They're my
memories too. Well, yeah, exactly.
Like if I delete it,
if I delete it,
then there goes the memory
of that thing that I was at.
Sure, I was there with that person
that I'm no longer with,
but you can't erase part of your history.
No.
But at the same time,
here's a flip way of looking at it.
If you had those pictures
hanging in your house,
that would be weird.
You'd throw them.
If you had pictures of you
and your ex hanging up in your house and you had a new partner. That's such a good point. Yeah, it would be weird. You'd throw them. If you had pictures of you and your ex hanging up in your house and you had a
new partner. That's such a good point.
Yeah, it would be bizarre. And yet we
have these online photo albums
that are not just in our house. They're out there
for the entire world to see.
And they've still got pictures of us in previous relationships.
I think pictures at
home on your walls is a lot more personal.
I know it is. And there's not
as many. So maybe that's why.
Yeah, definitely.
But it's a different lens of looking at it through, isn't it?
There's still pictures that you actively or passively have decided
deserve to be out there on your public profile.
At the same time, I can't be bothered.
That's the real truth of it.
And what if they're really hot and you want your new partner to see how hot your ex was
just to keep him on the toes?
Yeah, I know.
And it's not my ex's problem anymore because they have a new Facebook page.
So they're not even tagged in the pictures anymore.
All of your exes, they blocked you on everything, didn't they?
Absolutely right.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, they severed ties with me as soon as possible.
No.
I think the one, it's also acceptable if someone really, really, really hurt you and you don't really want to think about that person anymore,
then yeah, delete them.
Yeah.
You know, I think that's totally fine.
I think, at my core, I think the respectful thing to do
would be at least to archive those pictures.
Yeah, and just have the memories.
Yeah, but you've got to get around to it.
That's the problem.
Yeah, well, that's for sure.
We want to ask this afternoon on 0800DIALZM, did you keep or did you delete the pictures
of your ex and why?
Yeah.
What was the reason for either or?
Yeah.
Maybe it was a fight.
Maybe it caused an issue.
Yeah, maybe your current partner
went back through your timeline
and they're like,
um, excuse me.
Delete those, please.
Yeah.
0800 dial ZM
or you can text us on 9696.
Brianne Clint.
And you know who would delete
all their exes off social media?
It's Sam Smith.
He'd be culling everyone.
Yeah.
Wouldn't he?
Left, right and centre.
Yeah, he's been fairly private about that stuff in the past, hasn't he?
So I don't think he runs a huge risk of too many gushy posts up there.
That's the thing.
Well, they're famous, so yeah, I guess you keep quiet about everything.
If you come out of a relationship where you posted everything on social media,
then you've got some cleaning up to do, right?
That's when it's kind of a little bit more awkward because I go on to people like I went
to school with Instagram sometimes because I love a bit of a stalk and I just see what's
going on, who they're dating in their life.
And there's some people where you can literally tell where they've broken up with someone.
Yeah, because their feed changes.
Exactly.
So they post so much stuff and then all of a sudden nothing.
So you're like, oh, that's obviously they've broken up.
Interesting question on the show this afternoon.
Do you keep or delete pictures of your ex on social media after you guys break up?
Laura's here. Hi, Laura.
Hi, Laura.
Hi.
What's the deal for you? Exes on social media, have you deleted them or have you kept them? So I personally
keep, but another person
in my family that keeps theirs is
my mother. She keeps
some from her childhood
sweetheart. On her social media?
No, not on social media,
like actual photos and a photo album
and my dad actually found them.
Alright. How did that go down?
He wasn't happy to start with.
He thought it was a bit weird that she still kept them.
Yeah.
But after that, I think he kind of got over it,
realising, you know, they've been married now for 22 years
and in a relationship for 36 years.
Yeah.
So I think he's got over it by now,
but at first he was so not happy.
Yeah, true.
Right, okay.
That's a whole different situation. We talked about first he was so not happy. Yeah, true. Right, okay, that's a whole different situation.
We talked about photos in the actual house.
Physical photos are a different game altogether.
Even more personal.
Lauren, hey.
Hi, Lauren.
Hey, how are you?
Good.
Lauren, tell us, have you deleted or have you kept the pictures of your ex on social media?
I am the biggest deleter.
Really?
Really.
So every time, no matter what, whether it's an amicable breakup or not,
you're deleting it?
Yeah, they're gone.
And why is that?
You're savage.
I just look at it as it's like we've obviously broke up for a reason.
So it's part of my past.
And, you know, I look at it in the shoes Of my current partner
Like how would he feel
If he's just scrolling through my Facebook
Or Instagram
And these random guys just pop up
Yeah a lot of the time
There's lovey dovey stuff
In the comments section too
Yeah and you know
You kind of have to put yourself
In his shoes or her shoes
And you think well how would they feel
I mean I know that if I saw a photo of my
You know
Yeah right I'd be like whoa Can I know that if I saw a photo of my, you know. Yeah, right.
I'd be like, whoa.
Can I ask, what if you start dating someone new
and they go on your social media
and they're like looking at your Instagram as like a resume
and they're like, wow, she's never dated anyone in 15 years.
I'm the first guy she's ever put on her Instagram.
What's wrong with her?
I've actually had a partner do that before.
Right.
And I just said that I just don't post them on social media.
Right, so you lied in the relationship.
Really?
Yeah, a little bit.
There you go.
We got a good text from someone who said that they delete their exes
because they don't want to be reminded of their failures.
That's so savage.
You know, I don't need to know Where I went wrong
In a past life
It was their ex-husband too
What about the text
That says here
I delete off Instagram
But not Facebook
Mainly because
Tinder boys
Would get my Instagram
And not my Facebook
Yeah right
But also
My ex is a dick
Oh yeah fair enough
Um
Michaela
Hey Michaela
Hey team
How's it going
Going good
Michaela
Do you delete your ex's pictures off your social media
or just leave them up there to marinate?
Well, I actually got married quite young,
so I decided to delete all my wedding pictures.
Wow.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's full on.
Yeah, because I don't want to keep being reminded
of a dumb mistake I made, so.
Yeah, no, I get that.
I get that. I get that.
But then they're your wedding photos.
You would have looked beautiful.
You would have spent so much money on it.
You would have paid the photographer for those photos.
There's not part of you who wants to keep them at all.
Or Photoshop him out of them.
Now, that would have been good.
Yeah, yeah.
Maybe I should have done that.
Maybe I should have done that.
I think maybe I've got one where it's just me.
It's like, oh, well, that happened, but...
And you're like, and someone asks you, they're like,
oh, did you, where's your husband and all these?
You're like, nah, married myself.
No, I just wanted to wear the wedding dress for the sake of it, eh?
Yeah.
I love that.
Here's my genius invention.
I've just invented it.
Can I say what it is?
Yeah, what's that?
It's an app where you put a person's name,
you register your social media in there,
so your Facebook or your Instagram,
you put that person's handle or their tag in there,
and it goes over your social media
and finds every single photo on your profile
that has them in there,
and then you can delete them all in one go,
or you can choose to hide them all in one go.
That would be amazing.
I wish that existed
for real life sometimes.
Oh,
I don't have the time
to go through.
That was seven years
in my life.
No one has time
to go through
and delete all of them.
No one's got the time.
You should be able
to mass cull pictures
of you with so and so,
you know?
Or just create
a new account.
Yeah,
just torch your social media
and start again.
Yeah, literally.
I don't mind that as well.
Bree and Clint.
Time for Birthday Banger.
It's my birthday. It's my birthday.
It's my birthday.
Brie and Clint's Birthday Banger.
Clint, Birthday Banger, very popular here down in Dunedin.
All the girls here at the ZNM offices wanting to know their birthday bangers.
Okay.
And we're just hooking the people up, you know, in Dunedin.
That's how we do it.
But if you want to figure out yours, people have called through.
We'll figure out what was the number one song on their 16th birthday. Let's start with Jessica. Hi, Jess. Hi in Dunedin. That's how we do it. But if you want to figure out yours, people have called through and we'll figure out what was the number one song
on their 16th birthday. Let's start with
Jessica. Hi, Jess. Hi, Jess.
Hi. What's your birthday, Jess?
The 15th of the 2nd
1998. Alright, you were
16 in 2014 on the
15th of February. And
Jess, this is your birthday banger.
Clean bender.
I like that.
Yeah, it's good.
With Jess Glenn, such a good song.
Such a tune.
Yeah.
Reminds me of driving around to one of my exes
and finding out they were cheating on me, actually.
Okay.
Is that more so?
When you were with them,
there was somewhere else you'd rather be, you might say.
No, that song was big at the time and just reminds me of that.
Good one, Jess.
Let's get Lisa's on.
Hi, Lisa.
Hi, Lisa.
Hi.
What's your birthday, Lisa?
May the 20th, 1986.
All right, you were 16 in 2002 on May the 20th,
and on that day, this was top of the chart.
Liberty X.
Who, from memory, were these the ones who came second,
like the leftovers of the British season of Popstars?
I think they might have been, yeah.
So Popstars, which produced True Bless and Bardo
and then went over to the UK.
I loved this song.
It was a good one, right?
I thought it was great.
Do you like it, Lisa?
Do you remember Liberty X?
Yeah, and I was a fan of Popstars.
Yeah, right.
It was a great TV show.
It was a great show.
Started everything.
Okay, let's do one more from Kieran.
Hey, Kieran.
Hi, Kieran.
Kia ora.
Kia ora. Kia ora.
Kia ora.
What's your birthday?
It's the 18th of October, 1988.
Not all.
Yep, we've made a mistake.
Wait, did you say 1998?
We've done 88.
1988.
1988.
Okay, no, we're good.
We're good.
Okay, same.
So you were 16 in 2004 on the 18th of October,
and this is your birthday banger.
Banger!
Karen, you get De Harmo as your birthday banger.
How good?
How good is that?
How good? Where's is that? How good?
Where's he from?
He's from Auckland.
No, like, was he from a singing show or no?
Oh, no, he's just a rapper.
Just a rapper.
Right, cool.
What do you like, Bessa?
Never heard of that song.
You've never heard De Harmo, We Gone Ride?
No, is that the same guy as the comedian?
Is that him?
No, that's Di Hinwood.
Oh.
Similar.
I'm so bloody Australian, it's disgusting.
No, but that's a funny confusion to make.
I like that.
Well, I mean, it looks very similar to me, their names.
Well, I see them in person and they do not look similar at all.
Right, got it.
Okay, so are we going to go with Clean Bandit, Rather Be,
the song that you got cheated onto?
Are we going to go with Liberty X, just a little bit?
Or are we going to go with Di X just a little bit or are we going to go with
Die Henwood, We Gone Ride? I feel
after those comments I need to go with
Die Henwood. Die Hamo?
Yeah, I mean Die Hamo.
We Gone Ride. Yep, I love that
song.
I think it's the right choice as well.
So that means, Kieran, you
win birthday video. Congratulations. Yes.
Nice work, Kieran. Yeah, Die Henwood. Congratulations. Yes. Nice work, Kieran.
Yeah, die hand-worn.
Let's get him on.
There he goes.
It's your first day hummo experience, Bree.

He should do some more music.
Yeah, right?
Yeah.
Mm, great.
Brianne Clint.
It's weird because I'm actually in the Dunedin studios at the moment.
You're up in Auckland.
Yeah, hi.
I can see you on Facebook.
G'day, guys.
Producer Ellie and I are actually in Dunedin for tonight, for O-Week.
We're hosting the Toga Party, which we're excited about,
which meant this morning we caught a flight with the lovely Air New Zealand,
and they were great, and it was very early in the morning.
How early?
What time was it, Producer Ellie?
Oh, we were there at about just before 7.
Yeah, just before 7, caught a flight out at 7.30, so it was quite early for us. Yeah, it was early oh we were there at about just before seven yeah yeah four seven caught a flight
out at 7 30 so it was quite early yeah it's early enough yeah we do drive so it's quite early yeah
produce ellie and i weren't actually sitting next to each other she was sitting further up the plane
because she's fancier than me nah and i was sitting towards the back of the plane. But when we got off the flight, Ellie was telling me about how one of the Air New Zealand flight attendants was talking to her about me.
So halfway through the flight, I needed to go to the toilet.
So I made my way down the back of the plane.
And as I walked past Bree's seat, there she was lying there trying to sleep, looking very, very sexy.
I wasn't trying to sleep.
Clint, have you ever seen, you know, those people on a plane
that are the ugliest sleepers in the world?
Yeah, that's me.
Yeah, that's me too.
Yeah, yeah, I'm a full mouth open, head tilted forward sleeper.
I have a neck back, look like I'm literally a zombie.
Like I just look terrible.
And I know I do, but I don't care.
No. Because I just want to sleep. Exactly right. But I know I do, but I don't care. No.
Because I just want to sleep.
Exactly right.
But I got down to the back of the plane,
and there were four flight attendants down there,
and I was waiting for my turn in the loo.
But you saw me as you walked past, right?
I did.
I was like, ha-ha, a little chuckle to myself.
Kind of wish I had my phone on me.
Didn't.
And then I got to the flight attendants waiting for the toilet,
and one of them goes, oh, what are you guys going down for?
And I said, oh, we're going down to host the MC toga party.
Because at this point you didn't know if they'd recognised you from our show or not, Clint.
I thought she was just making chat with me.
So when I said, oh, we're going to host the toga party, she goes, oh, yeah,
I just saw your friend Bree down there.
If you've got a phone, she's got a really good photo up there.
Her mouth is wide open.
She's fast asleep.
Let's go get her.
And I was like, whoa, okay.
I like this woman.
Literally getting called out by the air hostess on the Air New Zealand flight.
I respect that, you know.
No, I know.
Yeah, me too.
Yeah.
Because, I mean, I would do the exact same to anyone else.
Yeah, great.
So what I want to know is where's the photo?
Yeah, no.
So I didn't have my phone.
And I really, really let everyone down here.
I'm so sorry.
That story sucks.
You got this great build up
and the Air New Zealand flight attendants teeing you up
for one of the greatest stitch-ups of the
week. And we could get a photo of Brie with
her mouth open. We could have photoshopped anything we
want going into her mouth.
And you were telling me the story
concludes with, yeah, and then we didn't take the photo.
Yep.
Well, it wasn't my fault.
Can you imagine one of the flight attendants walking down there
and everyone's looking at her.
She pulls out her phone and goes, shh, takes a photo of me.
She can't do that.
We could have done like a TikTok video where the kid that they get
to give out the lollies, they're like taking three-point shots
trying to land them in Bree's mouth.
That would have been good.
Missed opportunity, guys.
I'm disappointed.
We're catching an early flight tomorrow.
There's always tomorrow.
Wonderful.
Watch this space.
Okay, we'll chill out.
Keep your phone on you next time then.
Yeah, I will.
Hey, you know how there's that urban legend
that phone companies are slowing down your phone when they put out a new phone?
No, this is not an urban legend.
This is something that I've been saying for years and the reason I avoid doing updates on my phone.
Particularly iPhone.
When I used to be on iPhone, I found that as soon as the new phone got announced, you know how they did the big announcements?
Mysteriously.
Mysteriously, your camera would look a bit worse and your battery would drain faster
and your apps wouldn't load as easily.
Or you couldn't download something.
Yeah, just strange timing, right?
As soon as there was the ability for you to spend money on an upgrade,
the one that was perfectly good yesterday all of a sudden didn't work as well.
Well, people called us suspicious, but a lawsuit has been filed
and deliberated, decided,
resulted in Apple...
Did you take the bar?
Yeah, I did, yeah.
Apple being slapped with a $42.74 million fine
for deliberately slowing down older iPhone models.
I mean, that fine for them is a drop in the ocean,
but that makes me angry.
Doesn't it just?
In 2017, the company admitted it issued updates
which slowed down the performance of,
this is good, you need to know what iPhone you've got
if you're an iPhone user. iPhone 6, iPhone 7,
which is, I think that's the iPhone that
they, yeah, well, actually no,
iPhone 6, iPhone 7. What phone does
Producer Ben have right now? An iPhone
SE. I think Producer Ben's on a
7 or something, yeah. Yeah, I had
a 4 for Eva and then I've just changed to an 8
recently, so pretty good. How did you have
a 4 up until like a year
ago? Just because I suited it.
It was fine.
It was perfect.
I liked how it was.
I suited it.
It was pocket size.
It suited it.
Yeah.
Anyway, so the truth has come out.
Yeah, they say the reason that they did it was because the new updates couldn't run on the old batteries as well.
What a load of BS.
What a load of BS.
You know what? For this reason, they shouldn't have said $42 million
because that means we get nothing.
No, it doesn't matter how much they find them because you've already.
Exactly.
You know what?
They should have fined them.
They should have fined them.
They should have said, you know what?
Your punishment is that you have to bring back every headphone jack
on every new iPhone ever again.
Brie and Clint. Brie's live
from Dunedin today. Come in, Brie.
Yes, hello. Live here from Dunners
reporting. I'm not going to talk like that
for the rest of the break. I actually
wanted to tell you about a study that I found
which you, me,
producer Ellie, producer Ben, we all
have this thing that
apparently this study says
makes us happier.
Money.
No.
No.
Is it money?
No, not money.
No, not money.
Regular indoor gardening.
No, I'm just kidding.
No, not that either.
Although I think that'd be all right.
Apparently this study says that if you have a sister, it makes you a happier person.
Okay, what's the science?
What is it about having a sister that makes you happy?
So apparently more than 570 people aged between 17 and 25 took part in a study where essentially they asked psychology questions about a number of different
topics, including mental health.
And the research showed that participants who grew up with sisters were encouraged to
communicate openly about their feelings, which in turn gave them a more positive outlook
on life.
Right.
So having a sister makes you talk about your feelings.
Is that the gist of it?
I could have told you that.
Girls love to talk. Does it mean that you talk about your feelings. Is that the gist of it? I could have told you that. Girls love to talk.
Does it mean that you talk about your feelings with your sister?
Because I don't.
You don't?
Not that I wouldn't,
but it's not been my experience of having a sister.
Has it been your experience?
No, I probably talk more about in-depth stuff with my brother.
I do talk to my sister as well,
but my brother and I lived together at one point,
so we talked about stuff too.
Yeah.
But my brother's quite sensitive.
I'm interested in Producer Ben's take.
Producer Ben, you've got a sister, don't you?
Yeah, I do, yep.
Does that mean that you,
as a tough man from Christchurch with a moustache,
have become very open and honest
about your feelings with her?
No, no, I don't think so.
Right.
No.
Okay, I mean, I don't mean to call you
maybe closer with my parents,
but not necessarily with my sister, no.
Really? Why do you think you're not
having those, you know, in-depth chats
or the, you know, the emotional chats?
Are you just not an emotional guy?
Yeah, I'm not super emotional, no.
No. No, I don't know.
It's just I don't talk to her a lot. He's getting uncomfortable.
He's getting uncomfortable. He is.
This is making him uncomfortable talking to his sister.
Talking about his feelings I think is making him uncomfortable.
We should get him to call his sister right now and tell her that he loves her.
Is that something you'd like to do, Ben?
She's probably really busy at the moment.
Well, we should call her and just double check.
Yeah.
I want to do that.
No, we can't. No one has her number. She. I want to do that. No, we can't.
No one has her number.
She doesn't own a cell phone.
Yeah, she doesn't.
What a load of crap.
I'm going to force you to do that tomorrow.
If you're listening this time tomorrow,
Producer Ben will call his sister live on the radio
and tell her that he loves her.
Quick round the room to see if the study is accurate.
All of us have a sister.
Brie, are you happy?
Yeah, I'm pretty happy. Ben, are you happy? Yeah, I'm all right. Producer Ellie, if you sister. Bree, are you happy? Yeah, I'm pretty happy.
Ben, are you happy?
Yeah, I'm all right.
Producer Ellie, if you can hear us, are you happy?
Yeah, I'm happy.
Yeah, you're pretty happy?
I'm happy.
Yeah, I'm sweet.
I'm good.
None of us really sound convincing.
