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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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?
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,
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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,
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?
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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?
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
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.
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,
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
$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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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?
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?
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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?
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.
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
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
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?
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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
Also don't do that
But don't do that
But you could
If you pre-order
Your Samsung S20 Ultra
Before March 6th
That's when it comes out
You'll get bonus
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
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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?
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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?
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
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
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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,
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.
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.
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.
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
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?
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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
your number one
priority app this year.
Nice.
Is that because
it's your number one
priority?
No I think it's
massive.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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,
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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...
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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? How on earth can you be too quiet?
That's suspicious.
They're being too quiet.
Something's going on over there.
Oh, you're so boring.
Get out of my house.
All right, let's get some birthdays and we'll figure out what was top of the charts on their 16th.
Let's start with Adam. Hi, Adam. Hi, Adzy. G'day, how's it going birthdays and we'll figure out what was top of the charts on their 16th. Let's start with Adam.

All right, you were 16 in 2014 on the 12th of October.
And this is your birthday banger.
Because you know I'm all about that bass, about that bass.
No trouble.

No, I sure am.
Yeah, me too.

All right, that's a good birthday banger.
Wait there, Adam.
Let's go to Cherie.
Hi, Cherie.

Hello.
How are you, Cherie?
Quite hot sitting in my car, to be honest.
Oh, really?
Well, let's get this done quick then.
What's your birthday?
26th of Jan, 1987.
All right.
You were 16 in 2003 on the 26th of January.
And back in the early 2000s, this was number one.
Yes, J-Lo.
I watched Hustlers on the weekend.
Such a good film.
Have you seen Hustlers, Cherie?
No.
You've got to watch it.
J-Lo is, oh my God, she's just, she's next level.
She might not be a J-Lo fan.
Are you a fan?
No, that's definitely a good tune to bop along to.
It is a good one.
Cherie, you and me
were born a week apart,
by the way.
Fun fact.
Ah.
Yeah.
Where were you born?
Kawakawa.
I was going to say,
maybe we were born
in the same hospital
at the same time.
No.
No, not from Kawakawa.
Amon is here as well.
Hey, Amon.
Hi, Amon.
Hello.

Alright you were 16 in 2003
On the 3rd of April
And this is your birthday bang
Lincoln Park
Lincoln Park R.I.P
Somewhere I belong Were you a Lincoln Park fan? Oh. Linkin Park. Linkin Park, R.I.P.
Somewhere I belong.
Were you a Linkin Park fan, Eamon?
Seen them live.
You seen them live, yeah.
Me too, actually.
I've seen them live too.
It was epic.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's awesome.
Cool.
Okay, wait there.
We're going to figure out the winner.
I love this song.
I don't think it's the winner of Birthday Banger, though.
That's my vote. Is that your vote? Linkin Park. I don't think it's the winner of Birthday Banger, though. That's my vote.
Is that your vote?
Linkin Park, I'm going with it.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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
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.
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,
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
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.
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.
And a story that makes you proud to be a New Zealander,
I think just because of the fact that this sort of thing made the news.
A tweet.
It's front page news on a lot of news websites today from a man called Javid.
His Twitter handle is pasttentsofjav.
That's it, pasttentsofjav.
If you want to follow him.
Yeah.
Well, after this, you might want to follow him.
Listen to this.
This is an interaction that he has detailed on his Twitter.
Grabbed a beer at the airport.
A lady's pouring herself a wine.
I wait because the bottle opener's in front of her.
Mid-pour, without looking, she hands me the opener.
I say thanks, crack my beer, and look up.
Turns out that lady was our whole-ass prime minister.
Oh, my God.
And this bit needs a censor.
I'll try and do it the best I can.
What a f***ing G.
I beat it.
I censored it.
I thought you were meant to beep it.
I did.
You beep literally the tiniest part.
You just need to beep the uh.
Try again.
What a f***ing G.
That's okay.
Okay, let's not do that anymore on the show.
It's his tweet.
It's okay what I did.
I think I did. I think it's okay. Anyway, it's show. It's his tweet. It's okay what I did. I think I did.
I think it's okay.
Anyway, it's okay.
It's okay.
You're meant to be on my team, mate.
No, I think it was fine.
Yeah.
You did beep.
It was quite a long beep.
It could have been worse.
I could have said...
Why are you...
Stop.
Should we get back to the story?
So this guy's getting a beer
Yeah, quick, it might be your last one
This guy's getting himself a beer
And it's the Prime Minister hands him a bottle opener
Only in New Zealand, right?
Only in New Zealand
Where was this?
At like a random bar at the airport or in the Koru Lounge?
It would have to have been the Koru Lounge
They're not letting you crack your own beers at random bars
I don't think
No?
No Yeah, true, they wouldn't You pay extra for them to crack it for you They're not letting you crack your own beers at random bars Yeah No? No
Yeah true they wouldn't
You pay extra for them to crack it for you
Oh of course
You rock up to a bar and you're like
I am not cracking my own f***ing beer
Brie you play soccer football don't you?
Yeah I have played since I was five
You're fairly humble about your ability to bend it into the goal from the corner flag.
I could beat any one of you in here.
Yeah.
Have you ever suffered a bad soccer injury?
Multiple times.
Yeah.
And was it a real injury or are you faking it like soccer players do?
You're like...
Yeah.
See, that's how we know you don't play football.
No, this is why I don't play football.
Here's a story out of France.
An amateur football player has been banned from the game for five years.
Whoa.
For an injury that he inflicted on another player.
This must be bad.
Yeah.
He bit a player on the opposing team on the penis.
Jesus.
With so much power
That the victim required 10 stitches
How do you bite down so hard
That he has to have 10 stitches on the pee pee
Do you remember
Way way way back in the day
When Mike Tyson
Bit through Evander Holyfield's ear
And he bit his ear off
Yeah and he bit the actual ear off
He had to do this
Through shorts
Yeah
So his teeth had to bite down
Hard enough to go through shorts
And presumably undies as well
It's a good effort
What would you rather
Be bit on the penis
Yeah
Or be bit on the ball
Oh
Oh
If you had to pick one
I mean I can't comment
Because I don't have either
Yeah
I'd say
What's the worst What's worse I'd say comment because I don't have either. I'd say What's the worst?
I'd say penis. You'd rather be bit
on the penis. This is making me
uncomfortable. No, I'm just saying.
It's not a sexual thing. I'm just saying if this was
the situation. Ben, as my only other
member of the show with a member on the show.
I'm here for you. You agree with me?
That you think it's going to be...
Would you rather get bit on the P or the Bs?
Probably would rather get hit on the P
Yeah on the P

The Bs sit in the S
Inside the S Wait the skin is different to the B? The B's sit in the S. Inside the S.
Wait, the skin has its own
name? Yeah.
I just thought
the B's were the S.
No, the B's sit
inside the S. Wait!
And then the P is covered in
the F-S. Yeah.
Wait, what's the F-S? Well, Jewish
people have it removed a lot of the time. Oh, the F-S. Yeah, I know what we're talking about. Yeah. Wait, what's the F-S? Well, Jewish people have it removed a lot of the time.
