Starting point is 00:00:00 Hello everybody, welcome to the podcast. Did we do a podcast intro yesterday? Yeah. Did we do a podcast intro yesterday? Yeah. Because Ellie and I were in denouement. Oh yeah, we did. We talked about your microphone problems.
Starting point is 00:00:12 Oh, that's right. Oh, the delay. How interesting. No, I and the delay, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Oh, that's right. Yeah, yeah. Good radio, good radio gags.
Starting point is 00:00:20 This radio show, and this is a word I taught you guys last week, let's see if you remember the definition. This radio show, and this is a word I taught you guys last week. Let's see if you remember the definition. This radio show is so meta. Nah. I've heard you say that. We talked about it last week. Yeah, you did say something about being meta. I thought that we talked about you using some big fancy word.
Starting point is 00:00:37 Oh, you got angry at me for saying posthumous. Who uses that, honestly? It sounds like Don't be angry at me because I'm using more words. Are you saying preposterous wrong? No, I'm saying posthumous. Preposterous? No.
Starting point is 00:00:53 I don't even know if it's a word. It's preposterous that you don't know the definition of posthumous. Wait, did Producer Ben just say preposterous is not a word? Yeah, but you said posthumous is not a word. Let's not throw stones in glass houses here. Preposterous is a, but you said posthumous is not a word. Let's not throw stones and glass houses here. Preposterous is a lot more common than posthourous. Posthumous.
Starting point is 00:01:11 Posthumous. It's a dumb word. What does it mean again? It means after death. Yeah, well, how often am I going to use that? Yeah, good point, mate. Michael Jackson's posthumous album. Avicii's posthumous album?
Starting point is 00:01:23 Yeah. I feel like preposterous would be used a lot more commonly. Name one occasion where you have used it. You using preposterous is preposterous. What's your word? Nice. The other word? Yeah, what's yours?
Starting point is 00:01:40 I said meta. No, what's your word? Oh, posthumous. Yeah, you using posthumous in a sentence is preposterous. Do we want to get onto a little bit of show admin? Got it! There's been a poll running in our Facebook group, the Brie Thomasale Big Bang Theory fan page Bazinga,
Starting point is 00:01:57 about changing the name of the show. Now, some idiot left the poll open for people to add other options. I told Ellie to do that on purpose. There's now about 55 different potential names for the podcast group. Producer Ben, could you please run us through the top five options? The top five options
Starting point is 00:02:15 are number five, Buzzy G Potty. How many votes do these have? That one has I don't know, maybe seven. That's disappointing. Heaps of votes.
Starting point is 00:02:29 Number four, Clint has tiny nipples. I like that one. That is 56. Got a good ring. The Get It In Ya, Brian Clint podcast. Yeah, I like that. You voted for that. Both of you actually voted for that.
Starting point is 00:02:40 That has 35. Actually, I don't know how these numbers work. No, you're right. They're just disappointing numbers. It's fine. Just tell the truth. Do you just want the number one now? Yeah, the number one.
Starting point is 00:02:49 Let's go the number one. Top name for the podcast group. What is it? Hey, you're right. Brian Clint Podcast Group. It's good. Yeah, I like it. No, you guys don't seem excited.
Starting point is 00:03:01 No, I like what it's about. I think it's too wordy. We literally have called it the Brie Thomas L Big Bang Theory fan page bazinga and you think, hey, are you all right? Yeah, but we are where we are, Brie. We're in the process of changing it. So do we want to be in the same position six months down the track? I'm just wondering, can the page be called, hey, you all right?
Starting point is 00:03:26 Oh, yeah, just keep it tight. Yeah, it could be confusing. People couldn't find it. Isn't the idea of this group that it's meant to be a little bit secretive? Yeah, maybe. Not really. Yeah, because that was the issue that you had with the Big Bang Theory was that people were just searching Big Bang groups and they're like,
Starting point is 00:03:42 oh, there's another cool one with a cool cover photo. Yeah, because there'd be heaps of Big Bang fan page groups, so that makes it hard. Left field idea. Yeah. What if it's called the Bree and Clint podcast group? Oh, we may as well just hang up our bloody headphones now. How boring.
Starting point is 00:04:03 Let's call it the posthuminimus. Nice, yeah. If you can say it, this is serious, if you can say it, I'll give you one chance to say it correctly. And you'll give me $50? I was going to say $5. Let's make it $50. Okay, $50, but if you can't say it, you give me $50.
Starting point is 00:04:20 Nah. Because I'm in my own brain, I know the odds. The name quest continues. You can vote on it in the Brie Thomas L Big Bang Theory fan page, Bazinga, and we'll try and reach a conclusion soon. Here's today's podcast. Hey, Google, what's the time? It's 3 p.m.
Starting point is 00:04:41 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. Now, we're on air now with a statement from me. This is a press statement that I need to release. Anybody who's tuned in to hear my eyebrows get waxed today.
Starting point is 00:05:04 It is coming up in about five minutes time. No, it's not. No, it's not. No, no. Bring the waxing station in. What's the motivation? What's the reason for waxing my eyebrows? You said you loved the look of my eyebrows and I said you can get the same look.
Starting point is 00:05:18 All we need to do is get the girls in here, give them a bit of a wax. I never complimented your eyebrows. We'll find the audio somewhere. I had a haircut on Monday and it was the first time this has ever happened to me when we finished because they shave your neck
Starting point is 00:05:30 and stuff when you're a guy. They tidy everything up. And your ear holes. The Brazilian lady who was doing it goes, can I trim your eyebrows? And I was like, oh,
Starting point is 00:05:40 I didn't know that they needed a trim. If you think it would look good. So anyway, she gave them a little... She combed and then trimmed? Yeah. You know what that means. Do they look groomed?
Starting point is 00:05:49 They do. I mean, they could have a little bit more shape. Okay. If you wanted more shape. But you know what that means? What's that? Because as you get older, as a man, your eyebrows grow longer. You get hairier.
Starting point is 00:06:01 That's what my dad told me. Yeah. You know, I actually quite enjoyed when you got my nostrils waxed that time. You quite liked it. It looked good. Yeah. Should we wax your ear holes? I don't have hairy ear holes.
Starting point is 00:06:12 Would you let me pluck one of your eyebrows? No. Into a nice shape? No. Excuse me, that's insulting. Well, into a more defined shape. And leave the other one. And leave the other one.
Starting point is 00:06:25 Actually, you know what's trending. No, but you can do whatever you want with my nipple hair. You know what's trending is putting like a cut in your eyebrow. Like Jonah Lomu, shaving a lemon in there. Yeah, do you want me to do that to you? Yeah, man, that'd be skucks. Okay. What I do want to do is stop talking about my eyebrows
Starting point is 00:06:39 and let everyone know that they can win $55,000 today with ZM's Secret Sound Thanks to Save My Bacon. We will have two guesses for you as per usual today. Just before four and just before four five, you'll hear the activator for this. You always said just before four and also just before four. Just before five five. Just before five five.
Starting point is 00:06:58 Those are coming up if you want to win that money. Yeah, that's exciting. Up next, you want to tell us about the weirdest pet insurance claims that have been made in New Zealand in the last 12 months. Oh, yeah, this is a good story. I'm a big advocate for pet insurance, and these stories that you're about to hear are the reason that if you have a pet, you need pet insurance.
Starting point is 00:07:17 Like your cat that got pink eye. Yeah, it wasn't pink eye, okay? It was herpes in the eye. Probably rather pink eye, to be honest. Yeah. Poor cat. Herpes eye, to be honest. Yeah. Poor cat. Aw. Herpes is for life as well.
Starting point is 00:07:28 Yeah. She's good at the moment, though. Bree and Clint, here's Sam Smith on ZDM. Bree and Clint. Do you have pet insurance if you have a pet? If you don't, what are you doing? Do you not care? Are you rich?
Starting point is 00:07:41 Well, they probably are rich. Well, if you're rich, then don't worry about it. But if you're not rich and you love your animal, you should have pet insurance, man. Because, like, you don't want to have to be in the position where if something happens to your animal, which if you're anything like me, they're a part of the family, and you have to make the decision between paying the rent
Starting point is 00:07:58 and keeping that animal alive. Yeah. Pet insurance, sort that stuff out for you. What's the go with why it costs so much? It doesn't cost that much. No, no, no, not pet insurance, but pet bills cost a fortune. I can tell you why.
Starting point is 00:08:13 It's because the government subsidised medical care for people. But not for animals. But they can't afford to do it for animals as well. So you're paying all, you have to pay all the vet's costs. Right. So you have to pay for him to sterilise the equipment, to buy the medicine in, which is not subsidised,
Starting point is 00:08:27 to perform the treatment. I'm just kind of like, it's a bird. How much work can you do on the bird? It's tiny. Well, this is interesting. Southern Cross, who's actually who I've got my pet insurance with, hashtag not sponsored, have released the strangest pet insurance claims of 2019.
Starting point is 00:08:45 Oh, your cat herpes eye might be on here. No, my cat's eye wasn't insured. I had to pay for the herpes. Because it was a pre-existing herpes condition. Yeah, thanks for bringing it up again. That's okay. So here we go. Here are some weird claims that have happened in New Zealand
Starting point is 00:09:00 in the last 12 months. A Persian cat fell into a swimming pool while being chased by another cat and it had to be taken to the vet and the vet diagnosed it with hypothermia. Yeah, well, can you imagine how much of the cold would stay in because of its hair? $1,065 to treat the hypothermic cat. See? How? Why? It's so much. But they had pet insurance so they didn't have to pay for it. It's a tiny cat.
Starting point is 00:09:24 Labrador swallowed a pin cushion full of pins while the owner was sewing. The pin cushion and the pins had to be surgically removed. $3,488 of surgery. Talk about stingering. But they did. I've got a sharp pain in my lower abdomen. I bet. They didn't have to pay for it.
Starting point is 00:09:43 Pen insurance. Oh, good. A zonked out and smelly Hungarian Vizsla dog. God, I love a Vizsla. What's a Vizsla? Vizslas are the like velvety brown and they kind of look like
Starting point is 00:09:56 bloodhounds, but they're not. I'll show you later. They're a beautiful dog. Is believed to have eaten sheep pellets sprinkled on the garden as fertilizer. Just a casual $352 for that one. Okay, so not that much. An okcat, okie cat.
Starting point is 00:10:12 They're those cats that kind of look like a leopard. Oh, yep. Ross has got one. Those are cool. Ross Boss has got one. He got in a fight with a blackbird and lost. He lost? And had to be treated for scratches to the eyeball.
Starting point is 00:10:26 $103. A boxer dog ate the family's Easter eggs. Oh yeah, that makes dogs so sick. Five chocolate kiwis $270. Why is it dogs always eating stuff? It's mostly Labradors too. A Labrador
Starting point is 00:10:42 went on a trip to the beach and ate someone else's socks out of their shoes. And the socks had to be surgically removed. It was the owner's third claim relating to sock indigestion on that dog. He has a taste for them now. $2,789. Could be worse. It could have been the crotch of underwear, which is also very popular amongst dogs.
Starting point is 00:11:04 Bernie's mountain dog ran through a sliding door. I love those. They're so big though. $1,100. Two more. A Tonkinese cat jumped on a wood burner and burnt its paws. Oh, bless it. $177.
Starting point is 00:11:19 And the last one, this is the strangest pet insurance claims in New Zealand of 2019. Labrador cross, ate through a fence. Okay. And escaped his boarding kennel. And he bolted. And he got stuck in the second fence. And the vet had to treat the Labrador
Starting point is 00:11:37 for a spinal fracture along with other injuries. $6,999. So what have we learnt? Labrors, very expensive. And not that smart either. But so cute. So cute. Such good boys. Brianne Clint.
Starting point is 00:11:54 Do we know if Mark Zuckerberg, creator of Facebook, is he still one of the richest guys in the world? Yeah, he's like top ten. He'd be up there. Did you know fact about Mark Zuckerberg... He's actually a bionic robot? Yeah, well, that's what people say.
Starting point is 00:12:10 But the only thing that gives it away that he's a real human is that he sweats profusely when he gets nervous. I heard that's hydrogen discharge. Oh, could be. Yeah, they could tinker with that. It's water vapour. Here we go, age game. How old's Mark Zuckerberg?
Starting point is 00:12:25 Oh, I love the age game. How old is he? Are we all playing? Yeah. Yeah, you guys get in. Mark Zuckerberg is 36. Okay, 36. Producer Ben, how old is Mark Zuckerberg?
Starting point is 00:12:38 I think he's older than that. I think he is 40. All right. Okay, too old. Producer Ellie? Well, that's an opinion. It's wrong. That's the whole point of the game.
Starting point is 00:12:48 I'm going to go 35. 35. Yeah, you're right. He's 35. Really? Good work, Ellie. Thank you. I mean, how sad is this?
Starting point is 00:12:56 Two years older than you, Clint. And I mean, look at what he's done. And he's worth 68 billion. Hey, it's not a competition, okay? Hey, but you've done cool stuff too. Yeah, all right. All right. I had that idea for that app yesterday. Oh, that's right. competition, okay? Hey, but you've done cool stuff too. Yeah, all right. All right. I had that idea for that app yesterday.
Starting point is 00:13:08 Oh, that's right. Yeah, you should do that. Anyway, yeah, he sweats a lot and mainly before. I mean, he's been in a lot of courtrooms lately. He's got a lot to sweat about. He's got a lot to sweat about. He got Trump elected. Yeah, right.
Starting point is 00:13:21 Anyway, I've grabbed this. So this is a really famous interview that he did. I think it was back in 2018. And essentially, you know how he never takes off his hoodie? Yeah. He was sweating profusely because they were obviously asking him all these hard questions. And listen to the interviewer.
Starting point is 00:13:40 You want to take off the hoodie? No, I never take off the hoodie. I know you don't. What's with that? There's a group of women in the audience that wish you would. No. Girls? Whoa. Alright. Sorry.
Starting point is 00:13:52 That's okay. Awkward. Uncomfortable. But he was sweating. You know why he didn't take off the hoodie? Why? It's because he does sometimes take it off. You remember he wears that grey t-shirt? There's nothing worse than when you're sweating than to be in grey coloured material. So this is the point I'm getting to.
Starting point is 00:14:08 Do you know, well, apparently it's a rumour that's come out in a new book called Facebook, The Inside Story. Yeah. So apparently... The Facebook book. Yeah, Facebook book. These days, certain members of the Facebook team, you know what Mark Zuckerberg gets them to do?
Starting point is 00:14:25 Mop him down? They have to blow dry his armpits. Oh! I had to get my armpits blow dried on my wedding day. Did you? Yeah, because I was standing at the altar and it was like the middle of summer. Okay, so here's my question. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:39 Who did the blow drying? One of my groomsmen. See, now that's friendship. That's their job. That's disgusting. Yeah, but it was a hot day. It was February and also I was incredibly nervous. Was it blowing towards anyone or like out the window?
Starting point is 00:14:55 We were standing at the front of the altar waiting for Lucy to arrive. In front of everyone? Well, no, not everyone had arrived. Look, there's no shame in it, okay? I'm not saying there's shame in it. There's no shame in it. But I'm just saying I probably wouldn't have done it at the altar in front of everyone. Yeah, good point.
Starting point is 00:15:11 Brian Clint from iHeartRadio. This is The Latest. Live from LA with Dean McCarthy. Dean, this is quite concerning news about Britney Spears. Apparently she's back in hospital. She's back in hospital today, but for a good... Well, it's not as terrifying as it might sound. She's actually
Starting point is 00:15:30 broken her foot. She's in there today and not only that, she's being looked after by her gorgeous boyfriend, Sam Asghari. So, there's worse things in the world than having him at the foot of your bed. Dean, you're making it sound like you would break your foot on purpose
Starting point is 00:15:46 if you could have a hot guy look after you in hospital. Both arms, both legs and my neck. I was going to say, you mean again? He's done it before? He'll do it again. He does go to my gym, so, you know. You never know. Does he?
Starting point is 00:16:01 Britney Spears' boyfriend goes to your gym? Britney Spears' boyfriend goes to my gym? Britney Spears' boyfriend goes to my gym. I would see him three times a week. I find it super weird because she lives out in Woodland Hills. I'm in West Hollywood. I don't know why he comes into the gym. And she would have her own. She does have her own home gym.
Starting point is 00:16:16 No idea why. All the gays stare, as you can imagine. Who are the other famous people you see at the gym on the reg? Oh, my God. Everyone. Shawn Mendes is there most mornings. Ricky Martin goes there. Who are the other famous people you see at the gym on the reg? Oh, my God, everyone. Shawn Mendes is there most mornings. Ricky Martin goes there.
Starting point is 00:16:30 Jennifer Aniston. What? Charlize Theron goes there. The Rock goes there. You know what? I would go to the gym less than I do now if those people went to my gym. You'd go less? Yeah, well, I mean.
Starting point is 00:16:42 You can't go less, first of all. Exactly. You can't go less than none. Why would you go less? I thought you'd want to go on Star Spot. No, I mean... You can't go less, first of all. Exactly. You can't go less than none. Why would you go less? I thought you'd want to go on Star Spot. No, I wouldn't want to go because can you imagine working out next to someone like Jennifer Aniston? Yeah, you won't become friends. Can you imagine you're doing some dumbbell curls?
Starting point is 00:16:55 I don't know if you do dumbbell curls. I'll be like, hey, Jen, I'll spot you. No, what if The Rock comes over and he's like, come on, sister, I got you. Oh, that's more Hulk Hogan. But, you know... I was going to say, that's more Hulk Hogan. But, you know. What does he sound like? Yeah. I was going to say, that's not what he sounds like.
Starting point is 00:17:09 Hey, I filmed Shawn Mendes working out once on my phone. Is that creepy? That's creepy. Now, that's why you're the best, Dean. And that's why you're our Hollywood reporter. Also, send that video through, please. Live from Los Angeles. And a Ricky Martin video if you've got one.
Starting point is 00:17:23 The latest is brought to you by Samsung. Perfect for filming people at the gym on The new Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra But don't do that It's got a hundred times Space zoom So you could film someone In a gym that's across the road

Starting point is 00:17:42 Galaxy Buds Plus And we're playing For 55 grand Here's a random question For you March 6th, that's when it comes out, you'll get bonus Galaxy Buds Plus. Whoop, whoop. Bree and Clint. And we're playing for 55 grand. Here's a random question for you. Have you ever thought about what is the right order to get dressed in? No. You've never thought about that? No, because I feel that some things are self-evident
Starting point is 00:18:00 and the right order is the right order. So I'm not going, hmm, am I doing this right? Maybe in your brain. Yeah. But how would you know if you've never discussed it with someone else? Some things you don't discuss. Some things you just. Well, because it's for private.
Starting point is 00:18:14 Well, yeah, I guess. I guess. I love having these chats because we all do it. We all get dressed in the morning. Yeah. But how do we know what is the most common way? Well, I don't know your routine because I've never watched you dress and you don't know my routine because I assume you've never watched me dress.
Starting point is 00:18:29 No, there was that. No, haven't. So what do you want to – If HR's listening. Shall we reveal at the same time? Yeah. So what do we put on first? What do you put on first after you shower, you're completely naked,
Starting point is 00:18:41 what clothing item goes on first? Undies. Oh, good, sweet. I'm a item goes on first? Undies. Oh, good. Sweet. I'm a strict undies first kind of gal. Yeah, okay. And then we'll go second item. So after the undies.
Starting point is 00:18:54 Second pair of undies. That's weird. Girls have more to think about in this situation. Only one thing. Well, still more. Still more. Still more. Yeah. Although you don. Only one thing. Well, still more. Still more. Still more. Yeah, although you don't wear a belt, so.
Starting point is 00:19:08 Oh, sometimes I wear a belt. Oh, go you. Okay. You're fancy. Yeah, undies, undies, undies, undies, undies. Who's putting anything other than undies on first? Apparently there is a group of people, select people, who decide that they put on socks first.
Starting point is 00:19:24 Socks first? Socks first? Socks first before anything else. Why? I don't know. But I feel like I want to talk to someone. What part of your body thinks, what part of your brain thinks that that's the first part that needs to be closed? Socks is the last thing.
Starting point is 00:19:40 Here's a question for you. Why do you put on your underwear first, like for you? Oh, to cover up the bad bits. To wrangle the bad bits. Yeah. You want to lock those bad boys down. You never know when someone's going to show up. The least I can do is have my nether regions covered. I was going to say, I live in a flat with other people.
Starting point is 00:19:58 The most part I want to pretty much have covered. Put on my undies in case someone comes in. Yeah, you've got to cover out the yuckest bits. My brain always thinks, they're not yuck. Not yours specifically. Why are you calling my bits yuck?
Starting point is 00:20:10 I'm speaking for myself. That is very offensive. You've never even seen my bits. And nor do I want to. Do you want to, should we see if we're the same as, we've got a small committee here. We can ask our producers at least.
Starting point is 00:20:21 I think, I'm pretty sure we don't even have to ask. I know they'll both be underwear first. Same as you guys. I want you to say the first item you put on first at the same time, producer Ben and producer Ellie. It is undies. Yeah, good.
Starting point is 00:20:34 Socks. We're all standing. No, it's not. Undie socks. Undie socks. Jock strap. What does a jock strap do anyway, can I ask? It's just a little elastic around the jockey, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:20:45 No, no. Is it something that like ties down the junk? Yeah. It like holds it in close? I've never worn one, but it keeps the junk secure. But it keeps the buttocks free. I was going to say, why are the buttocks flowing free then? My knowledge of a jockstrap is an elastic band that goes around the top
Starting point is 00:21:03 and then a pouch, the strap bit for the bits, and then two bits of elastic that go there under each bum cheek. Oh, my God. Yeah. Technically, is a jockstrap a bra for the P and the B? Yes. It's a bra for that area. I think it is anyway.
Starting point is 00:21:20 It's a kinky item of clothing. Do you put underwear on over the top of a jockstrap? I don't know. Is it your underwear for the day? Look, we've got a question that we were going to ask. We were going to ask what item of clothing do you put on first? But do you want to ask 0800DALLAZITM, do you wear a jockstrap? No, I don't want to ask that personal question. It's not that personal.
Starting point is 00:21:38 People wear them for sports in the United States. Yeah, but I don't feel like it's, we're not in the United States. Last chance, last chance. No, I think I'll do it. I'll do one if you want. But I would like to know, oh, $800 at M. We should ask Dr. Lucina from The Bachelorette. No, don't ask her. No, she knows anatomy. That's creepy from you.
Starting point is 00:21:55 You don't have to come in, just thumbs up. Do you understand how a jockstrap works? Yeah. She says a G string. She's simulating. I don't know if it's a G string Okay thanks Lucina Thank you Stop asking Lucina about jock straps Okay back to your question
Starting point is 00:22:09 Yeah I want to know I'll Google it on my own personal time 0800 dial ZM Or you can text us on 9696 Actually I want to hear from people If you don't put underwear on first Okay Is there another clothing item
Starting point is 00:22:22 That you put on before anything else The phones are full already. Hopefully they're not calling for my jockstrap idea. Yeah, anything other than undies first? Yes. Oh, $800 at M. Probably never thought about it. And look, let's be real, it probably doesn't really matter.
Starting point is 00:22:38 But we've asked you this afternoon, what is the correct way and the correct order to put your clothing on? Imagine you've just stepped out of the shower, you're completely nude. What do you reach for first? It's always undies. Well, for all of us it's undies. Because you don't want to be caught not wearing undies. No.
Starting point is 00:22:56 If I'm not wearing socks, I'm not too worried. Yeah, we've got plenty of undie people. So we've asked no undies first to call. Yeah, we don't want you guys to call because obviously we're the majority, I believe. We believe. We believe. But we wanted you to call if you put a different clothing item on first. Mike is brave enough to admit that he is not undies first.
Starting point is 00:23:17 Hello, Mike. And welcome to the show, Mike. Hello, how are you? Good. Mike, tell us, what clothing item do you start with? Always socks. I've got a routine every morning. I always start work about quarter past five in the morning.
Starting point is 00:23:32 So 10 to 5, I'm in the shower. I've got all my gear there. Socks on first. Let me ask you, Mike. Yeah. Are you sitting when you put these socks on? Sitting. No, sitting.
Starting point is 00:23:44 Sitting somewhere. No. No, sitting. Sitting somewhere. No. Okay, interesting. So I was going to say, you're not wearing undies and you're having to sit on, you know. What's the second item? Second item will be then undies and then a singlet and then I, obviously, drags out first. I'll progress to brush what hair I've got left and then put on my chef's gear and then I'll progress to brush what hair I've got left and then put on my chef's gear and then I'm all set to go to work.
Starting point is 00:24:09 And then you're off. And then you're off. Okay. It's a very in-depth report. Just before you go, is there a reason that you go socks before undies? Yeah. The reason is, okay, I've got the shower. I shower every single morning before I go to work,
Starting point is 00:24:22 and then I've got the bath mat down. And so the shower, for some reason, spills a little bit of water out where the door closes on the side. So I put my socks on, and I use the bath mat to dry the tile floors. I love how Mike is to the point. He just gets to the point. It's very detailed. Yeah, right.
Starting point is 00:24:44 Okay. That's why I put socks on first. It's practical. It does make sense. It's practical. It does make sense. Thank you, Mike. Let's go to Sarah.
Starting point is 00:24:53 Hey, Sarah. I got up and I made myself an egg salad sandwich. And what I did was I got the eggs. Hello, Sarah. And I put them in. Hello. How's it going? Hello.
Starting point is 00:25:02 What do you put on first? Gosh, Bree, you changed the subject so quickly. We're talking about putting socks or undies first. Now you're talking about egg sandwiches. I mean, would you like an egg salad sandwich right now? Stay on topic. Stay on topic. How good are they?
Starting point is 00:25:17 They're so tasty. Sarah, Sarah, Sarah, what are you putting on first? I put my socks on first. Really? You're a socks on first too? Yeah. And what's your reason? Reason being, if you've got any bacteria in
Starting point is 00:25:32 between your toes and you put your undies on, like, let's just face it, you don't really want bacteria from your toes and your doodles. You're not the first person to message this to us either. There's a lot of people on the text machine saying this too. It's not a level of cross-contamination that we've ever considered I've never thought about it like that
Starting point is 00:25:50 I've definitely got my feet caught in my underwear before though Yeah, but have you ever thought about the fact that you're Oh, now you're freaking me out That my toes and my dirty toenails go past the place where my crown jewels sit every day I mean, I wouldn't want my feet near my privates when I think about it. Nah. I don't know if it's going to change the way I operate,
Starting point is 00:26:09 but you've definitely given me a whole new perspective, Sarah. Yeah, very interesting, Sarah. Thank you. And James is here too. Hi, James. Hi, James. Yeah, how's it going? Good.
Starting point is 00:26:16 Tell us, are you the same socks on first or something different? No, I run jandals. Because I have to be able to, yeah, I've got to run around naked. So I've got to have something on my feet. You're lying. No, I don't think he is. You're lying. You get out of the shower and put some jandals on.
Starting point is 00:26:34 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because my shower has kind of been like an outhouse kind of thing. Right. So I have to go for a bit of a walk to my house. It's an old farm cottage. And I'm always hot after the shower, so I need a cold drink. So I've got to go to the fridge.
Starting point is 00:26:48 And, you know, I have my cold drink and I stand outside and air dry. No, you do not. So you're Justin Jandles with no towel on. No, the towel's there, yeah. How free, James. You just sound like the freest bloke and I love it. I am.
Starting point is 00:27:04 Yeah, I am. Well, you know, I live in New Zealand. I'm a young single guy in New Zealand. I can't have it any better, can I? James, this is crazy, but you've actually picked up the award for the most Kiwi phone call of the week. Yeah, well done. Which is great.
Starting point is 00:27:18 It's a prestigious award. Nice work. Yeah, you get a slap on the back and a good on you, mate. Yeah, mate. Cheers. Cheers. Cheers, guys. Cheers. Cheers, a good on you, mate. Yeah, mate. Oh, cheers. Cheers. Cheers, guys. Cheers.
Starting point is 00:27:26 Cheers. Cheers, fella. On your mark. Bree and Clint. Would it be fair to say that in the world we live in today, 2020, a lot of people, you know, think things are too PC? Some people think things are too PC, yeah. Other people don't.
Starting point is 00:27:43 They love it. Yeah. People who generally think things are too PC don't like don't. They love it. People who generally think things are too PC don't like being told that they're wrong. Yeah. And you're like, hang on. What? Hang on. People love to be offended
Starting point is 00:27:55 these days. But that's why we've created the next thing that we like to do, which is called Unpopular Opinions. And essentially it's a platform where there's going to be not much judgment, maybe a little bit. Well, it generally evokes an involuntary reaction, but then it's our job to get over that quickly and go,
Starting point is 00:28:15 okay, it's your opinion, it's your opinion, that's fine. We're asking you for it. And we only want opinions that are going to be generally unpopular. Unpopular, yeah. Yeah. This is good because I've actually been sitting on a couple. Have you? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:29 I have an unpopular opinion. Yeah. And this will be particularly poignant for Kiwis listening. Okay. Snifters are overrated. Ooh. They're not that good and don't bring them back. Whoa.
Starting point is 00:28:44 You remember them better than they were. I mean, I've never had one, so I don't know why I'm getting. You're not missing good and don't bring them back. You remember them better than they were. I've never had one, so I don't know why I'm getting it. You're not missing out on anything. I know everyone goes, oh, you've got to bring them back. They're not that good. There's so many better lollies out there. You're not a mint fan, obviously. No.
Starting point is 00:29:00 Oh, I like a minty. But even then, I wouldn't swarm to it. It wouldn't be my first choice. Do you think mint-flavoured things are overrated? Yes. Oh! Yes, because the Projects did a thing a couple of years ago where they tried to find out what New Zealand's favourite biscuit was
Starting point is 00:29:15 and they chose mint slice. I love mint slice. I'm a big fan. Get off the grass. Nah, big fan of mint slice. Get off the grass. It's not the best biscuit in New Zealand. What about mint choc chip ice cream?
Starting point is 00:29:26 Delish. It's fine, but it's not better than chocolate chip ice cream. It's also not better than orange chocolate chip ice cream. Oh, get off the grass with that comment. Orange flavoured things. Excuse me, excuse me, excuse me. That's my unpopular opinion. No, but we're having a conversation.
Starting point is 00:29:42 Yeah, I know. Really gets you going. Have you got one? Yeah, I've got one. Here we go. Red wine. Unpopular opinion. No, but we're having a conversation. Yeah, no, it really gets you going. Have you got one? Yeah, I've got one. Here we go. Red wine, unpopular opinion, but red wine should be drunk when it's chilled. No. Yes. No. It's better.
Starting point is 00:29:58 You're muting the flavours. When do you ever want to drink lukewarm liquid? Unless it's, you know, actually you don't want to drink a tea lukewarm either. You've got a good point there. Red wine should be chilled. Who came up with that? Someone has come up with that and then they've forced you to believe that's how it should be drunk. It's better when it's cold.
Starting point is 00:30:19 It's probably because it was created before things were able to be refrigerated. Are the producers sitting on any unpopular opinions that they'd like to share this afternoon? Yes, mine's also food and beverage related. Well, more food related. I don't like cake. Yeah, me too. Are you the same?
Starting point is 00:30:36 I only like one type, red velvet, the rest. Banana. Yeah, right. Carrot. I like a cheesecake, but I don't really like a cake. Cheesecake's not counted. Yeah, exactly. Cheesecake's good. I barely ever eat cake at birthday parties and stuff. I don't really like a cake. Cheesecake's not counted. Yeah, exactly. Cheesecake's good.
Starting point is 00:30:45 I barely ever eat cake at birthday parties and stuff. You sad, sad person. You like me as a kid, and you would never eat the cake at birthday parties. I hated it. Oh, cool. Okay. There's both of us then. You sad, sad, sad people.
Starting point is 00:30:58 Nah, cake overrated. I don't like that. I agree with that. That's hit me hard. Do you have a popular opinion, producer Ben? I think that if you're in your 20s or 30s TikTok should be
Starting point is 00:31:07 your number one priority app this year. Nice. Is that because it's your number one priority? No I think it's massive.
Starting point is 00:31:15 I think people don't think. I wouldn't say 30s. I think it should be your number one priority this year. I think if you're in your 30s maybe
Starting point is 00:31:20 you've got bigger things going on. Yeah what about like children or like your mortgage or something. Or like your mortgage. Sorry babe I've got to do going on. Yeah, what about like children or like your mortgage or something? Or like, yeah, mortgage. Sorry, babe.
Starting point is 00:31:26 I've got to do the new Benny Glutter Challenge. No work for me today. I'm off to film a TikTok. Here we go. The phones are open if you have an unpopular opinion. Does anyone have any more? I love getting these out there. It's a safe space where you can share it with us.
Starting point is 00:31:42 Yes, you can text them to us if you don't want to call on 9696. Yeah, but 0800.com or text us. What's your unpopular opinion this afternoon? The black part of the Oreo is the best part. Incorrect. It is. Really? Incorrect.
Starting point is 00:31:55 No. Free and Clint. Prepared to be triggered, New Zealand, because we're doing unpopular opinions. It's a segment where we ask, we invite people in to give us an unpopular opinion. It's going to rile some people up, but if it's your opinion, stand behind it and share it with us. Yeah, do it. This is the time to do it. We've asked you to.
Starting point is 00:32:14 A few people texting through. Someone said, unpopular opinion, but I hate Pavlova. No. Uh-uh. Yeah, I kind of get that. No, how do you get that? I mean, it's very all just the same texture, except for like if you don't cook it well enough.
Starting point is 00:32:27 It's delicious. It's all very mushy. It's got a crusty outer and a foamy, creamy inner. I mean, there's better desserts. Someone else said, oh, producer Ben's not going to like this one. Unpopular opinion, but men under 50 should never have mustaches. Oh, that's mustaphobic. That's a bit rough.
Starting point is 00:32:47 I don't agree with that one. Ben, I think your moustache looks nice. I like it too, Ben. Thanks, Dad. I think the rest of your face could do with a tidy up. Rhiannon's here. Hey, Rhiannon. Are you there, Rhiannon?
Starting point is 00:32:58 Yeah, yeah. Rhiannon, give us your unpopular opinion. We've braced ourselves. What is it? I don't think tomato sauce belongs in the fridge. I agree with you. I agree with you. This triggers people
Starting point is 00:33:11 because apparently on the bottle it says refrigerate after opening. But Rhiannon, are you with me? No one wants to dip their hot food into a cold sauce. Yes. Rhiannon, because you do that, I want to ask you, where do you put your Vegemite or your Marmite? Fridge or cupboard?
Starting point is 00:33:28 Well, to start off, I don't eat Kiwi Marmite. I eat British Marmite. But that lives in the cupboard. Yeah, Marmite lives in the cupboard. Does that say to refrigerate? Do you put your Marmite in the fridge? It says to refrigerate it. It's got so much salt in it, it'll be fine.
Starting point is 00:33:44 Rihanna, I'm 100% with you on the tomato sauce, but it is an unpopular opinion because people look at me funnyate it. It's got so much salt in it, it'll be fine. Yeah, I mean, it'll be fine. Rhiannon, I'm 100% with you on the tomato sauce, but it is an unpopular opinion because people look at me funny for it too. Unpopular opinion, but I don't really have a strong opinion about where it goes. Right, okay. Unpopular opinion. No, it's a popular opinion, actually. The fancy tomato sauces are a waste of money. I agree.
Starting point is 00:34:01 Just buy Waddy's. I like the original. Because, again, you need all that salt in there to be a preservative so you can keep it in the pantry. Hi, Liam. Hey, how you doing? Give it to us, Liam, your unpopular opinion. Popcorn is a terrible movie snack. Popcorn is the movie snack.
Starting point is 00:34:17 It is the ultimate. What would you rather eat in the movie, a sausage? I mean, I'm an ice cream fan, but just with popcorn, the crunch. I went to Birds of Prey not long ago, and all I could hear was crunch, crunch, crunch, crunch, crunch. It's a sign of a good movie. Everyone's like, oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:34:35 Liam takes a panini to the movies. He takes a soft shell tortilla. I've actually taken KFC hot wings to the movies before, so I'm a bit different. You need to be able to see to eat those things, Liam. They could go anywhere. Yeah, when you wipe your hands. Right, anyway.
Starting point is 00:34:49 I have taken... Liam's unpopular opinion. I have taken a tie pad tie to the movies before. A tie pad tie? A tie pad tie. Even better than a regular pad tie. Briar's here. G'day, Briar.
Starting point is 00:34:58 Hi, Briar. Hey, Bri. Hey, Clint. How's it going? Good. What's your unpopular opinion? Oh, this is a little bit controversial, but my unpopular opinion is I find,
Starting point is 00:35:10 well, I believe kids are overrated. Having kids is overrated. Whoa! Oh, boy. I know, and you've just had a baby, Clint. I know, but I just don't. No, it's your opinion. I don't want them. I don't have the urge to have them.
Starting point is 00:35:21 I just, like, it isn't me. So I find that when people say they're a miracle and everything, I can't understand that concept. Hey, this is what this segment's about, and you're brave for saying it on the radio. I've only in the last couple of years started telling people this. It's a price that I never told anyone. It's okay, because even if any parent,
Starting point is 00:35:42 like anybody with children says to you that you're a bad person for saying that, they're a liar because even parents have had moments where they've gone, man, this kid thing is overrated. I do get it. Bree and Clint. Once upon a time, there was a girl. She was smart, debatable, talented, athletic. Not really.
Starting point is 00:36:08 Picking a movie based on just the plot line? That she can do. Brie and Clint's What The Plot. Four weeks with nobody beating Brie, which means our mobile fuel jackpot is at $250 today. See, there's more on the line for me this year because I want to see how much I can jackpot it. Right, I see.
Starting point is 00:36:29 It's a game. We're not giving losers anything this year. So, Bernie, it's win or go home, okay? Sounds good. Okay, you know your movies? I do, yeah. I will start reading out a plot to a movie and as soon as either of you think you know what it is,
Starting point is 00:36:47 you buzz in with your name and you can have a guess at what it is. It's best of three. This week, because Bree has just stepped off a flight, the theme is movies that have planes in them. I don't watch those movies because I have a fear of flying. Well, you could watch them on a flight. Okay, movie number one. And I will start with an audio clue.
Starting point is 00:37:12 And you can buzz in whenever you like. Three. Top Gun. Damn it! That movie I have seen multiple times. Hard luck, Bernie. She's off the mark quickly, isn't she? It's okay. I'm still in it. You are still in it. You are still in it. Yep, that's right. Doesn luck, Bernie. She's off the mark quickly, isn't she? It's okay.
Starting point is 00:37:26 I'm still in it. You are still in it. Yep, that's right. Doesn't mean anything. Okay, movie number two. I will also begin with an audio clue. This person stars in the film. Free.
Starting point is 00:37:44 Free. Soul plane. Damn it. Get it! Free Free Dang it Soul Plane Damn it Get it Snoop Doggy Dog Have you seen Soul Plane, Bernie? I haven't seen it Me neither
Starting point is 00:37:55 I know of it It's a terrible movie But I didn't think you would get it that fast Well, I didn't think I would either But you know where I saw that? In a comedy roast Someone talked to Snoop Dogg about it. That's how I knew.
Starting point is 00:38:06 There we go. That's the end of the game. Sorry, Bernie. That's all right. Sorry, Bernie. Next week we'll be playing for $300. I always feel bad. I do feel bad, but then I also love to win.
Starting point is 00:38:20 Bree and Clint. I mean, show of hands in our team, who has a landlord currently? I do. Producer Ellie has a hand up. Producer Ellie, Producer Ben. But you don't. You own your own house because you're rich. Excuse me.
Starting point is 00:38:33 You and your wife, very rich. I'm the landlord. Well, technically, yes, you are your landlord. But obviously something when you're growing up, especially in your 20s and your 30s, you have to deal with a lot of landlords because you're renting a lot. Have you ever, and you could comment on this too because I'm sure you've had a lot.
Starting point is 00:38:51 Oh, no, have you always owned your own house because you're rich? No, we've only owned our house for the last few years. Didn't your parents buy you a house? They did not. Back in the day? No? Okay, just checking. Excuse me.
Starting point is 00:39:01 Have you ever had a landlord that was a bit difficult? Yes, I have. Have you? Yeah. We had a landlord once who just, you know, and it's often not a landlord. It's often the letting agent who is between you and the landlord. The property manager? Property manager, yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:17 And we had one who just refused to get anything fixed on the house. And we were paying so much rent in Auckland City and they just wouldn't get anything fixed. Like what? Do you remember what needed to be fixed? So we had doors that were broken, the garage door had basically fallen off where all our stuff was. And one day a pipe burst in the backyard. Oh no.
Starting point is 00:39:37 You've told me this face. Human poo and dirty toilet paper all over our back lawn. Yeah, not a good opportunity for a slip and slide either, is it? No, and it was a Saturday and she goes, we'll get someone out during the week to look at it because it's too expensive on the weekend. And I was like...
Starting point is 00:39:54 She shouldn't say that. She shouldn't? No, she shouldn't say it's too expensive so we can't. No, lucky moe, she'd go, oh, we've caught something. Yeah, yeah, yeah. There's a landlord and this is divided actually on the internet. There's a Facebook group called Bunnings Mums Australia. I love these groups.
Starting point is 00:40:12 Which I mean sounds – Bunnings Mums is good. Kmart Mums is good. Is even better, yeah. Sounds like a good group. Anyway, someone has shared – essentially there's a flat. There's a group of people lived inside, you know, obviously this property, and they had an inspection. Yep. I think like a year into their lease and, you know, that's
Starting point is 00:40:30 when obviously the landlord or the property manager comes in and they check everything and then renew the lease. Anyway, so they've had someone come in and they were greeted when they got let back into the property with a house gift. Okay. Now, you tell me what you take from this. So they've come in, they've done the inspection, and then there waiting for them was a massive gift bag of cleaning products. Is that passive aggressive or is that being friendly? It is passive aggressive, but also it's nice.
Starting point is 00:41:09 It's both. So that's the way to do it. That's the epitome of passive aggressive though. Yeah, I know. But if you want people to look after your property, it's taking the initiative. Because you could reduce it back and you go, we expect you to mow the lawns.
Starting point is 00:41:21 We're not providing you a lawnmower. True. This way they've gone, hey, we'd love you to keep the shower glass clean. Here's some stuff. Here's some handy-andy. Yeah. You know? And also that picture you've just shown me.
Starting point is 00:41:31 So there's all the products there, dishwashing liquid, glass cleaner. They've also included a pack of Tim Tams. Yeah, because that makes it extra passive-aggressive. No, I think it softens the blow. You reckon? Well, that's what I think they were going for. Yeah. Because they obviously recognised that it was pretty pass-ag. Yeah. And then they were like, put Tim Tams in there. It makes it the blow. You reckon? Well, that's what I think they were going for because they obviously recognised that it was pretty pass-ag
Starting point is 00:41:45 and then they were like, put Tim Tams in there. It makes it seem nice. On the scale of what landlords can do, they can just go, they can kick you out. Yeah. I reckon that's pretty good. But, and this is the reason why I wanted to talk about this this afternoon. Obviously, this one's not too bad.
Starting point is 00:42:03 It could go either way. But I'm sure there's people listening right now that have had some hard-to-deal-with landlords. Yeah, you might have had humantos spewing out inside your house and they were like, we can't call someone up for therapy. I don't even... I can't even comprehend some of the stories we're going to get.
Starting point is 00:42:20 But I want people to call through right now. 0800-DIAL-ZM. What did your landlord do to make them a bit of an arsehole? Because come on, we've all had one at one point. I definitely don't have one right now. Love my landlords. Yeah, cover your bases, mate. 0800 dial ZM.
Starting point is 00:42:38 Bree and Clint. Bree and Clint. There's a group of people who have received a present from their landlords, which was a care package of cleaning products. Which, I mean, you could see it as really nice or it is a bit pass-ag. I see it as quite nice. I do, genuinely.
Starting point is 00:42:56 And I know we're about to talk about landlords that are a-holes. Yeah. I think it's actually quite important here that we do a shout-out to the good landlords. And can I also say, let's also do a shout out to the real A-hole tenants because I know they exist too. What's the opposite of a shout out? A shout at.
Starting point is 00:43:11 Shout at. Yeah, we'll do a shout at them. And we'll say, thank you to the good landlords and to the good letting agents, property managers too. Absolutely. There's some people that are amazing.
Starting point is 00:43:20 Because at the end of the day, we all need somewhere to live, right? Yeah. And if you're willing to rent your house out, then thank you. But this is for the A-holes. Shout out to my landlords. I love you.
Starting point is 00:43:30 Yeah, isn't your lease up soon? Yeah. No, they're actually amazing. I love them. Zazie's here. Hey, Zazie. Hey, how are you? Zazie, tell us, have you had a difficult landlord?
Starting point is 00:43:41 Yeah, so pretty much. I was in my early 20s, first flat. I was a head tenant, and the landlord wanted to do renovations on the house. So he asked us to move out and he was obviously going to lose out on some rent. And so we cleaned up the whole house, it was spotless. And then he came through with like a fine tooth comb. He was like touching the walls. He was like, this place is disgusting.
Starting point is 00:44:01 And then... Even though they were going to renovate? Yeah, even though they were going to renovate? Yeah, even though they were going to renovate. He wanted the bond. Yeah, he wanted the bond money because I reckon he was going to miss out on rent because he was doing the renovation. Right. Scandal.
Starting point is 00:44:19 Yeah, in that case you should kick some holes in the wall and go keep the whole bond. Yeah, we may as well use you know, use our bond money. Yeah, yeah. And I just pictured her landlord just literally getting in with a fine tooth comb. In a magnifying glass. Twirling his moustache at the same time going, Do not pass go.
Starting point is 00:44:35 Oh, this is a bad time. Do not collect $200. This person wants to remain anonymous. Oh, are they worried that they're going to get kicked out of their flat? Maybe they've currently got a difficult landlord. Hello, anonymous. Hello. Maybe their name's Anon. Oh, hi they worried that they're going to get kicked out of their flat? Maybe they've currently got a difficult landlord. Hello, anonymous. Hello. Maybe their name's Anon.
Starting point is 00:44:49 Oh, hi, Anon. Anon. I like that one better. Have you got a difficult landlord currently? I do, yes. What's going on? Tell us the goss. So I've been in my house for coming up eight years now.
Starting point is 00:45:05 Okay, long time. You're obviously a good tan. Yep. I currently have piles sinking in the house and hasn't been fixed. I currently also have a faulty light bulb in the house as well. There's washers in the taps that never get replaced or anything like that. I've only ever had one house inspection.
Starting point is 00:45:31 Yeah. And there are gaps all through the windows. So, you know, cold breeze comes in. You started with the big one, didn't you? The piles. Yeah. I did, yeah. Let's stick with that. The house
Starting point is 00:45:45 is sinking and they won't fix it for you, Anon. It's kind of a big deal. Nope. Is the rent cheap? How much have they put the rent up in eight years? Nothing. Well, maybe... I can't complain at that.
Starting point is 00:46:02 That's pretty good. I definitely can't complain. Yeah, but still, you don't deserve to be sinking. I'm getting reasonable rent, so I definitely can't complain about that. Is the house sinking or are they putting in a pool? That's what you get asked. She can't eat any round food for fear of it rolling off the table. Chelsea's here too. Hi, Chelsea.
Starting point is 00:46:19 Hi, Chelsea. Hi. What do you think? Have you got a landlord that's hard to deal with? Not anymore. She evicted us because we sold our own chickens. What? She evicted you because you had your own chickens?
Starting point is 00:46:34 And we sold them, yeah. So we had chickens and she got really emotionally attached to them. She was buying her own special food for them. Whoa, whoa, whoa. She was coming in. So you were allowed to have chickens at the house? Yeah. Okay.
Starting point is 00:46:50 Yeah, and she was coming into our yard and feeding them when we weren't home. She was letting them out, and they were pooping everywhere. So we asked her, please, you know, can you leave them in the coop? So she would just wait until we went to work. This is bizarre. So you've been evicted for not having chickens? Well, we got tired of her coming into our yard and letting them out when we were at work and keeping her around.
Starting point is 00:47:12 So we eventually just said, this is enough. We put them up on Trade Me, sold them. The very next day, she evicted us. Wow. She was not impressed. Someone on the text machine, a few people are texting through and someone said, my rental manager got jailed for stealing my bond. They went to jail.
Starting point is 00:47:31 Apparently. And then someone else said, this is my favourite text because we're talking about difficult landlords. Someone texted her and said, my wife and I got asked to leave for being too quiet. WTF? How on earth can you be too quiet? That's suspicious. They're being too quiet. WTF?

Oh, actually, maybe that gives me confidence to vote for it. Come on, I'm giving you the confidence. So I genuinely love Linkin Park. I love Linkin Park, and I think they were definitely up there for one of the biggest kind of, you know, rock kind of bands for the, what, the 2000s.
Starting point is 00:50:43 Let's give it a little... Yeah. Oh, no, what, the 2000s. Let's give it a little... Yeah. Oh, no, yeah. This is it. This came out the same time as the Matrix movie, I think. Well, maybe the second Matrix movie. Yeah, close to it.
Starting point is 00:50:56 Eamon, we're going to do it, man. You're going to win Birthday Banger today. This song has never won Birthday Banger before, so thanks for calling through. No bother. And this is a first for Birthday Banger. Here we go. Bree and Clint, this is a first for Birthday Banger. Here we go. Bree and Clint, this is Linkin Park on ZM. I had nothing to say and I'd get lost in the nothingness inside of me.
Starting point is 00:51:36 I was confused and I let it all out to find that I'm not the only person with these things in mind. But all of me can see the words revealed. It's the only real thing that I've got left to build. Just stuck hollow and alone And the fault is my own And the fault is my own I wanna heal, I wanna feel What I thought was never real I wanna let go of the pain I felt so long Erase all the pain till it's gone
Starting point is 00:51:59 I wanna heal, I wanna feel Like I'm close to something real I wanna find something I wanna feel, like I'm close to something real I wanna find something I've wanted all along, somewhere I belong And I've got nothing to say, I can't believe I didn't fall right down on my face I was confused, looking everywhere, only to find that it's not the way I had imagined it all in my mind So what am I? What do I have but negativity? Cause I can't justify the way everyone had imagined it all in my mind What do I have but negativity Cause I can't justify the way everyone is looking at me Nothing to lose, nothing to gain
Starting point is 00:52:29 Hollow and alone And the fault is my own And the fault is my own I wanna heal, I wanna feel What I thought was never real I wanna let go of the pain I felt so long Erase all the pain till it's gone I wanna heal, I wanna let go of the pain I felt so long Erase all the pain till it's gone I wanna heal, I wanna feel
Starting point is 00:52:48 Like I'm close to something real I wanna find something I wanted all along Somewhere I belong I will never know myself until I do this on my own And I will never feel anything else Until my wounds are healed I will never fade Anything till I break away from me
Starting point is 00:53:15 I will break away I'll find myself today I wanna heal I wanna heal I wanna feel What I thought was never real I wanna let go of the pain I felt so long Erase all the pain till it's gone I wanna heal
Starting point is 00:53:38 I wanna feel Like I'm close to something real I wanna find something I've wanted all along Somewhere I belong I wanna heal, I wanna feel like I'm Somewhere I belong I wanna heal, I wanna feel like I'm Somewhere I belong
Starting point is 00:54:02 Somewhere I belong. Somewhere I belong. That was 100% the right choice for Birthday Banger, and I say thank you to you, Bree, for voting for it, because I wasn't going to. Sometimes I just need to give you the push, and you do the same for me. I've got the full-body chills.
Starting point is 00:54:23 Yeah, me too. I've got the full-body... Oh, I have a feeling. I have the back-to-back feeling. Do you? Do you have it? Is it to this song? I mean, this is a great song. Or just see what happens.
Starting point is 00:54:40 It starts with... Oh, okay, yes. I don't know why It doesn't even matter how hard you try keep that in mind it's time to explain in due time all I know time is a valuable thing watch it fly
Starting point is 00:54:53 by as the pendulum swings watch it count down to the end of the day the clock ticks right away so unreal didn't look out the low watch the time go right out the window trying to hold on, didn't even know I wasted it all just to watch you go I kept everything inside and even though I tried
Starting point is 00:55:12 It all fell apart, what it meant to be Will eventually be a memory of a time I tried I tried so hard and got so far But in the end, it doesn't even matter I had to fall to lose it all but in the end it doesn't even matter
Starting point is 00:55:35 one thing I don't know why it doesn't even matter how hard you try keep that in mind I designed this rhyme to remind myself how I tried so hard.
Starting point is 00:55:46 In spite of the way you were mocking me. Acting like I was part of your property. Remembering all the times you fought with me. I'm surprised it got so hard. Things aren't the way they were before. You wouldn't even recognize me anymore. Not that you knew me back then. But it all comes back to me in me.
Starting point is 00:56:04 You kept everything inside. And even though I tried, it all fell apart What it meant to me will eventually be a memory of a time when I tried so hard and got so far But in the end, it doesn't even matter I had to fall to lose it all But in the end it doesn't even matter I put my trust in you Pushed as far as I can go For all this is only one thing you should know.
Starting point is 00:56:50 I've put my trust in you. Pushed as far as I can go for all this. There's only one thing you should know I tried so hard and got so far But in the end, it doesn't even matter I had to fall to lose it all But in the end, It doesn't even matter Yes!
Starting point is 00:57:32 Yeah, that's good. No regrets. That's what this feels like. That, ladies and gentlemen, is a signature birthday banger, back-to-back, double Linkin Park. And you know what, Ross Boss, stop calling me.
Starting point is 00:57:46 We're not taking your calls, sorry. You know, and this is, I think this is a good moment for a little bit of hashtag Real Talk 2. Yeah. It's almost been three years since Chester Beddington, the singer of Linkin Park. Has it nearly been three years? And he took his own life.
Starting point is 00:58:01 And of course, the stuff that happened over the weekend with Carolyn Flack, the former host of Love Island as well, taking her own life. And of course the stuff that happened over the weekend with Carolyn Flack, the former host of Love Island as well, taking her own life. That's hit really hard. It comes up every now and then and we don't tend to talk about it until it happens in a moment in popular culture. And I don't think that's right. I think we do
Starting point is 00:58:18 need to talk about it more often. So just on the back of that and on the back of the news, and it doesn't have to be a famous person doing it for it to matter. Every person's life matters. And if you're sitting there thinking, you know, you're feeling down, you matter. Absolutely right. And if you haven't checked on your friends recently, you need to do that as well.
Starting point is 00:58:38 It can be a text. And if they don't reply, make it a phone call. All it takes is asking someone if they're okay and they could be here tomorrow because of that. That's what it is. That's what it comes down to. It is a huge thing, but I think if we de-stigmatise it and we get around each other and we feel comfortable enough to go,
Starting point is 00:58:56 actually, no, bro, I'm not all right. And can I just say also, I always get confused between the Lifeline number here and obviously in Aussie. That's a good point. I always get confused between the Lifeline number here and obviously in Aussie. But, you know, Lifeline are always, they do some amazing work and they're always available if you need someone to talk to and you feel like you don't have anyone to talk to. I've been doing some work with them recently. I actually went into their offices last week
Starting point is 00:59:21 and I've been doing some training into, you know, taking calls and talking to people and they do amazing work and they can really help you if you feel like you've got no one so the suicide crisis helpline if you need this right now is 0508 828 865 that's 0508 total and also um I just want to mention if you feel like you're not comfortable enough to talk to someone on the phone, you can text as well. Yeah, and you can keep it all anonymous.
Starting point is 00:59:51 Alright, Bree and Clint, this is ZM. Bree and Clint. Can we please all be upstanding for a story about a true Kiwi legend? Legends.
