Hello everybody, welcome to the Bree and Clint podcast intro, where today we've got a special guest.
Yes, please welcome to the show, probably one of our worst players ever at one of the radio games, it's Ray!
Hey, Ray's here!
That doesn't make sense now, but if you listen to the podcast...
Ray will feature. This is like an Easter egg, where's Ray going to appear in the podcast today?

I love that, Ray.
Can you... Ray's like, nah, no good.
I thought it was all right.
Bovine.
Anyway, look, today's show, full disclosure, is loosey-goosey because we haven't had a
lot of sleep.
We're not going to complain.
I don't like complaining.
I want to know from Ray
because he actually has already listened to the show.
Ray, could you tell we were tired AF?
No, you guys are good to listen to on the way home, you know,
so you're always pretty energetic.
We drove here from Invercargill today, Ray.
Sure.
Yeah.
We drive on a plane, but you know.
It's been a bloody mission
I tell ya
But we don't like to complain
So we're not

Oh, that's cool.
Congratulations, Ray.
How did you do it?
Well, we went up to Pai here, and I surprised her with a helicopter to a ball in the rock.
Oh, fancy.
Yeah, and we landed on the rock, and I popped the question up top. Well, you're a baller, Ray. Oh, fancy. Yeah, and we landed on the
rock and I
popped the
question up top.
Well, you're a
baller, Ray.
That's awesome.
I love it.
Yeah, well done.
Cheers.
Nice one.
And to finish
this very wholesome
podcast, by the
way, it has been
very wholesome.
Yeah, usually we
talk about tits
and ass.
Yeah, and
fanny fluff.
Fanny flutters.
Ray, I would like you to offer us
Some sage advice for life
God, put him on the spot
Everyone's got some
Yeah, no, that's probably
Oh
I won't say that one
No, don't say it
It's a podcast intro
So it's not
You can say it.
No one listens to this anyway.
Before an important night, rub one out and then you last longer.
Yes, Ray.
You something about Marriott.
Oh, exactly.
Yes.
Ray.
And you're a machine.
Ray, I hope.
Yes, Ray.
Does it apply for girls as well?
I don't think so
I feel like it does
I'm pretty sure
Ellie
I'm pretty sure that does apply to us
I hoped for something good to come out of Ray
And I never imagined we would get something that fantastic
Same time next week Ray
Ray thank you very much
Legend
Wait did you do that before you proposed? I don't know Thank you very much. Legend. He had a good engagement party.
Wait, did you do that before you proposed?
I don't know.
Here's the podcast, everybody.
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, Winnebree and Clint on.
Bree and Clint are on air in 5, four, three, two, one.
Kia ora, New Zealand.
Welcome to the show.
It's Brie and Clint.
Do you ever just feel like not wearing pants to work?
Yeah, I do.
It's so free.
I just don't want to wear a bra to work sometimes.
Yeah.
I feel like that would make me feel so good.
Yeah, well, if there's any job you can do it in, it's probably radio because people can't see you.
What other jobs do you reckon you could do that?
Stripper.
Oh, but depends.
You have to start with it on.
Good point.
Otherwise, you're not a stripper, are you?
You're just a nude.
Exactly.
One of the most important parts about, this is what people don't realise.
Yeah, exactly.
One of the most important parts of being is what people don't realise One of the most important parts of being a stripper
Is actually wearing clothes
Because I mean if you don't
Then technically
Yeah
There's no journey
You're a nude dancer
Exactly right
That's all you are
And then people just walk in and go
It's not as exciting
Seeing that
I've got to go now
Not as exciting is it
Yeah anyway
We don't usually do much stripper chat
At three o'clock
But today is a special exception
Because we're a little bit loopy.
We've been on an aeroplane today, coming back from Invercargill.
An aeroplane, have we?
Yeah, we flew back from Invercargill.
We're not on an aeroplane.
This is jet fuel.
We've been out and about in the community today,
giving away free hot dogs, doing our bit, haven't we?
How much do people love free food?
Yeah.
And I never realised people loved it as much as me.
Yeah.
But it's all the same.
It's a unanimous feeling across every human being.
You may have got a free hot dog from a house of travel
in Ponsonby, New Plymouth, home base centre,
Christchurch or Alexandra today.
And if you did, you could be in the draw
to win a $10,000 trip to the United States of America
thanks to House of Travel.
We were at the Ponsonby one.
It's happening again tomorrow, and if you're in these places,
you can get a free hot dog too.
Yeah, in Hornby, in Christchurch, and also Newmarket in Auckland,
there'll be the stations set up at those House of Travels.
The free hot dogs, look out for them,
and get your napkin to get your chance to win that $10,000 trip.
It's a huge prize and a great place to go.
So thank you to House of Travel for getting on board
and helping us give out free hot dogs.
It's been a lot of fun so far and it continues next week as well.
Today on the show, you won't have won Lotto last night
because nobody did,
but you do have the chance to win the secret sound,
not oomphs but twos.
Oomphs but twos.
Four o'clock and five o'clock, you will hear the activator,
and you can call up and try and take our money.
But next, one of the strangest stories I've come across in a long time.
One of those stories that makes you go, is this real life?
I bet it's about Donald Trump.
Yeah, it's about Donald Trump.
Is this actually a story that's been written about the President of the United States
and how people have to trick him into eating vegetables.
Yes, you heard correct.
So if you're a giant man baby or woman baby
who doesn't like eating vegetables,
I'm going to tell you the ways that people might be fooling you
into eating them next.
ZM.
I'm done hating myself.
Brian Clint.
Here's a Buzzy G story straight out of the United States
about President Cheeto Face Donald Trump.
The complexion of an Oompa Loompa
with only one half the charisma.
Have you guys seen that photo that was doing the rounds of him
like last week or the week before of the really bad tan line?
Yeah, it looked like he'd stuck his head through a hole in a fence and someone had just sprayed some stuff over his face.
They didn't do his ears.
He came out and he goes when he was in charge,
he would help sneak vegetables into Donald Trump's diet
because he refuses to eat them.
You do think that's true, though?
Yes, I do.
Or is he just trying to make some money?
No, because he's not being derogatory to the president.
He said, this is from a doctor,
he said Donald Trump has quote-unquote incredible genes,
which sounds like a statement Trump would make.
I have fantastic genes.
They're incredible genes.
They're massage genes.
No, his doctor said Trump has incredible genes.
He believes that Donald Trump could have lived to 200
if he had had a better diet for his life leading up to now.
He's now in his 70s, damage is done,
but he is the sort of person who can get by,
you know how some people can,
just eating absolute crap the whole time.
Yeah, I know, I'm so jealous of those people.
The doctor said that some of the techniques he employed
was grating up cauliflower
and putting it into Donald Trump's mashed potatoes.
Loves mashed potato,
but doesn't want any other kind of vegetables.
Because potato is superior to any other vegetable.
Yeah, I know.
It's a fact.
And I think because of that, it doesn't count as a vegetable.
It doesn't count.
Potato does not count.
It's delicious.
Is potato in your five plus a day?
Do we think?
I don't think so.
It should be.
It should be, but I don't think it is.
So they would grate up veggies and hide it in his mashed potato.
Smart.
They also used to,
this is a quote,
make ice cream less accessible.
What, so they'd take it away from him?
He'll put it on a shelf that he couldn't reach
or something like that.
No, you know what they should do?
You should just buy,
we used to do this in my household,
I'd just buy real awful ice cream.
Why?
So then it would detour people from eating it. But you had to eat it. No, I'd put the real awful ice cream. Why? So then it would detour people from eating it.
But you had to eat it.
No, I'd put the good one somewhere else.
Oh.
But I would lure them in with the bad one.
Yeah, right.
And they'd be like, where's the ice cream?
And I'd be like, oh, it's in the freezer.
It's at the front.
And they'd go, oh, I don't like this.
You know what some people do is they get like a,
you know the mixed veggie bags?
Yes. And then they'll put their
single serve like magnums and stuff
inside the veggie bag so their flatmates
will go, ooh veggies, but actually it's ice cream.
Anyway, I don't know if that's what they were doing
with Donald Trump, but it was someone's full time job
to try and sneak vegetables
into a grown man's diet.
Did your parents ever have to do that to you?
No, no.
They had the usual battles where we would just sit there
and roll our peas around the plate for ages.
But I don't know that they ever got particularly creative
in trying to hide them.
What about yours?
No, I grew up on an apple orchard,
so we just had to eat what we were given.
Right.
It was just like fresh produce from everywhere.
Was it mostly apples?
No, there was all kinds.
We grew other stuff as well.
Yeah, okay.
And so we'd just eat whatever.
Mum reckons we just ate absolutely everything.
Some people can get away like Donald Trump
with not doing the five plus a day thing.
Some people, yeah, don't have any vegetables in their diet.
Some people can't get away with it, but they still do it anyway.
So we're wondering, are you one of those people
and do you want to call us this afternoon?
Do you just not eat
vegetables? I want someone
to call where they're like, no fruit,
no vegetables.
Almost nothing fresh. Yeah.
Like, it's fine. We're not going to judge you.
We're just curious. Do you eat like, my
flatmate Alan, big gay gorgeous Al,
let's be real. I live with him.
I see what he eats. I have
forced vegetables into his diet.
Yeah.
But if he had it his way, he would literally eat rice and meat.
That's it.
I get home.
How is he so thin?
I don't know.
I get home and I'm like, what are you eating?
He goes, rice and meat.
I'm like, again?
Any kind of sauce?
Well, I think he puts a sauce on it.
Okay, do you not eat veggies?
Is your diet deplorable?
Are you a bad eater?
Do you have an unusual diet?
Yeah, yeah.
0800 dial ZM or text us on 9696.
Bree and Clint.
We want to know, are you much like the President of the United States of America
and have to have vegetables forced into your diet.
Or you just don't touch them.
You go, no, I'm an adult now.
I don't have to eat them.
I can leave the table whenever I want.
That's not how it works.
It is.
That's the problem.
That is how it works when you're an adult.
Because, kids, if you're listening,
when you become an adult,
you want to have ice cream for dinner?
You can.
You absolutely can.
I did have that really great sense of achievement
when I went to the supermarket for the first time
when I was technically an adult.
Yes.
And I was like, I can buy whatever I want.
Yeah, you can.
And you linger around the veggie aisle and you go,
I know I should get some of these,
but I don't really know what to do with them.
Have you never progressed past that and you don't eat vegetables?
We want to hear from you this afternoon.
Let's talk to Sarah.
Hey, Sarah.
Hi, Sarah.
G'day, how are you?
You're good.
Good, Sarah.
You're someone who there's no vegetables, no fruit in your diet.
Oh, I do fruit.
Yeah.
But no, vegetables are a no-go for me.
What about potatoes, Sarah?
Oh, yeah, potatoes, but...
They're an easy vegetable.
They're not a freaky vegetable.
Yeah, right, okay.
Potatoes, I think we should take out of the vegetable category.
No, keep them in because then it's free veggies in your diet because you enjoy them.
That's why you should keep them there.
What does a dinner look like for you?
Like, what are you having for dinner tonight?
Well, tonight we're actually doing a stew
because it's the only way I'll do vegetables.
All right, so there's veggies in there.
Bad time to ask.
What did you have for dinner last night?
Last night we actually had McDonald's
and my son sat there and ate a raw carrot and raw parsnip.
Right, okay.
Because he does vegetables.
Yeah, do you give him vegetables
or are you trying to influence him out of eating vegetables?
No, he helps himself to the vegetable garden.
Okay, cool.
Good that you put a garden there.
He doesn't take after you then, Sarah.
Let's talk to Joshua.
Hi, Josh.
Hi, Josh.
How's it going?
Good, Josh.
Tell me, what's the main food groups in your diet?
Oh, just straight meat, really.
Straight meat.
What's your favourite type of meat? Oh, just steak,, really. Straight meat. What's your favourite type of meat?
Oh, just steak, you know, medium rare.
And so what do you have with it, though?
Yeah, do you think that a nice side salad would go good with that, something fresh?
No.
You know, back in the day when I was living at home, Mum used to give us vegetables,
but she'd make us all sit at the table, but she'd sit in the lounge and watch the news.
And we had a Labrador back then and would quickly just chuck our plate
on the ground and feed our veggies to the dogs.
Josh, can I ask?
The dog's meant to live off meat and you're meant to eat the vegetables.
What do you put with the steak?
Like if you're making a meal, say you cook a piece of steak,
is there anything you put with it?
Slap it between two bits of bread and a bit of sauce.
Yeah, right.
Would you say you're in, like health-wise, would you say you're in pretty good nick?
Yeah, well, I go to work every day, so it's the main thing.
What do you do for work?
Work for Schick Civil Construction.
Okay, cool.
For Hamilton.
Yeah.
Sounds like to me your diet, I can just imagine,
it's meat in between bread.
Whatever meat that is, sausage, bread.
Yeah.
Steak, bread.
And he does get some veggies in there.
Tomato, sauce.
Yeah.
Yeah, a little bit.
More barbecue sauce.
All right.
I'll take the tomato out of there.
Thank you, Josh.
We're going to talk to Taylor quickly.
Taylor, you're only 12 years old, right?
Yeah.
And you've already gone off vegetables.
I never really got on them, to be honest.
Fair enough, Taylor.
What don't you like about them?
Everything.
Yeah.
Yeah, right.
Okay.
The only vegetable I'll eat is cucumber.
Really?
Cucumber?
Why cucumber?
I don't know.
Right.
Okay.
Well, have some veggies, please.
I feel like I need to be a responsible adult.
As a parent, I would say. Oh, you're so boring.
Have some veggies, please.
Nah, eat all the good stuff, Taylor.
Greer, what's your diet look like?
Oh, it's my brother's diet.
He's actually got spina bifida,
and so nutrients is pretty essential for him.
But he had a group of friends.
There's about 10 of them growing up,
and obviously they were given a time in life where maybe they might not make it.
And anyway, he's the last two standing.
Oh, right.
So he's just gone,
screw it, I'm eating whatever I want.
Yeah, so they all eat their vegetables and everything,
and he eats, oh, God, bread, everything fried like there's no tomorrow.
Yeah, right.
No vegetables at all.
Yeah.
In his case, I can't really knock it, you know?
Yeah.
Just do you.
Quality, not quantity.
Yeah.
Exactly.
All right, Greer, thank you for your call.
Eat your veggies, people.
That's what we're taking away from this, I think.
Bree and Clint.
Breaking kids toy news, everybody.
Don't cover a lot of kids toy releases on the Bree and Clint show,
but perhaps we should.
This toy is one that I think all parents
will definitely want their kid to have.
And I'm going to go ahead and say I'd like to have one
too. Sounds like a bit of fun.
Kmart have released a
kid's vacuum cleaner that really sucks.
Wait, so does it
suck or does it like, oh
it sucks. No, it sucks.
It sucks. Does it suck or does it like, oh, it sucks. No, it sucks. It really, it sucks.
Does it actually physically suck or like does it, oh, that sucks.
It physically sucks.
Right.
It's $25 and it looks like a Dyson.
You know how everyone's got the Dyson stick vacuums?
Yeah, they're all the rage.
Well, not everyone's got them, but you know.
All the rich people like you.
Excuse me.
How many do you have?
That's a question. How many Dyson. How many do you have? That's a question.
How many Dyson vacuum cleaners do you have?
One.
Why would I have any more than one?
What happened to the other one?
I sold it when I upgraded.
I did.
I put it on Trade Me.
I did.
That is smart from you.
I upgraded from the V6 to the V10.
We're not talking about Dyson.
We're talking about a kid's vacuum cleaner.
Now, this vacuum cleaner, which really sucks,
is for all those kids out there who see their parents doing the vacuuming
and they're going, oh, why can't I have a turn?
I don't know if that's something that kids do.
Did you ever think that when you were younger?
Possibly.
You see your parents doing things and you don't know that they're a chore.
Like you go, oh, you don't realise that they're not doing it for fun.
You know?
And so you get them a vacuum cleaner.
So two birds with one stone, kids occupied.
Boom.
And also they're doing some of the vacuuming.
How good is that?
I know.
I think it's a great idea.
Yeah.
Why haven't we thought about it earlier?
It's like those Swiffer suits that you put on babies.
Oh, when they start crawling.
Yeah.
So they polish the floors.
Yeah, and then they just polish and clean the floors as they go.
It gets me thinking, what other jobs can we trick kids into doing?
Lawn mowing.
Lawn mowing, yeah.
Too dangerous.
Too dangerous.
Too many blades.
What else could we get them to do?
Because you can get kids lawn mowers, but they don't do any mowing.
Clean the floors is good.
You could get them a leaf blower and just clear the driveway, you know.
Well, they're down at a good level for it, yeah.
Or you tell them it's finger painting stuff.
You go, you guys should draw on the windows.
But it's actually just glass cleaner.
And then you've got these tiny little hands that are constantly.
Or just use them as a sponge.
Just dress them in a full like sponge suit.
Use a child as a sponge.
Use them as a chamois to wash the car with.
Right. sponge suit use a child as a sponge use them as a chamois to wash the car with right to the person who's
texted in and said
that Kmart vacuum cleaner
is
the kids one
is crap
yeah
look yeah
it's a toy
apparently
it doesn't really suck up anything
it's a toy
like
I know but if they're gonna
if they're saying that
it sucks up stuff
if it does suck up stuff
it does
well
I think it does anyway
well have you
you haven't used it though.
No, I haven't used one.
Producer Ben, can we look at getting a couple of the Kmart...
This is the issue too.
I've been to the Kmart website.
I can't find them.
I think they've sold out so fast.
Yeah, it doesn't surprise me.
Can we look at getting a couple of these kids vacuum cleaners
for the show, please, mate?
Sure.
Yeah, thank you.
That is breaking.
Kids toy news.
Or if you're Clint, you could just buy your baby a Dyson because you're rich.
Bree and Clint.
This one's for the online shoppers, which I definitely am that person.
Can I ask, when do we stop calling it online shopping and just call it shopping? When there's absolutely no actual physical shops left
in the world. Yeah, right, okay. Yeah, so that's when.
I just think that I'm probably more likely to buy something online
these days than go into a shop. So maybe
we should call online shopping shopping and
we should call, like, store
shopping something else.
It's not complicated.
I literally walked past a clothing store
today and went,
I cannot remember the last time I bought clothes in a store.
From a building.
Cannot remember the last time.
I actually can't.
And a survey, this is quite interesting though, a survey has been done and it's revealed the first names of people
who are more likely to spend big online.
Okay.
And this is not like guesswork.
It's just data, right?
It's just data, yeah.
Because you've got to enter your name and address when you buy something.
Absolutely.
So they would have all that information.
So they're just literally putting, obviously,
all this data where people have spent however much money.
What do you consider a big amount?
Depends what you're buying.
Clothes?
Yeah, clothes.
A couple of hundred is a lot.
Yeah.
I think.
Yeah, okay.
Like one time.
Yeah, yeah.
I love to put heaps of stuff in my cart
and then just go, nah.
Yeah.
And then just leave.
It's so fun.
My iconic cart looks
really good. Whoever decides to buy that
stuff is going to be so well dressed. Yeah, but it's not
me. I get to the checkout and I go
Especially now that you have to pay GST
as well. Yeah, I know, which sucks.
Because they don't put it on the website. And then afterwards
it calculates it and you're like, well that's
an unwelcome surprise. And it's a lot of
admin sometimes. Like if you're not signed
up to the website you're buying from and you've got to put
all your details in. God, we're so lazy.
I know. But anyway, it's
quite interesting. Our parents had to walk 10 miles
in the snow both ways just
to buy themselves a pair of jandals. Okay, well
that's being dramatic.
I think a little bit. But it's interesting
because obviously this information means
nothing to us.
It's all the women's names who are most likely to buy big stuff online.
Okay.
So I can give you the list.
Yes, give us the list.
From 10 to 1, starting at 10, Amanda, Catherine, Georgia, Mary, Jessica, April.
Sounds like the mumbo number five song.
Maddie, Stephanie, Courtney and Karen is the number one online big spender.
Is it?
Good old Kaz.
Yeah, right.
Okay, if you have one of those names, sorry if your partner has just heard it
because maybe you're doing that thing where you get your online shopping sent to work
so that you can hide your purchases.
Yep.
And then you wear the item and they go, oh, that looks like a new top.
And you spin it back on them and you go, I've had this for ages.
You just haven't noticed.
Yeah, how dare you.
That's such a good idea.
It's a good technique.
My mum does that to my dad.
And then for the guys, starting from 10 to 1, it's Andy, Phillip, Marcus, Jacob, Luke, Lewis, Scott,
Callum, Chris
and the number one big spender online
is Joshua.
Right, I've never met a poorly dressed Joshua
so that makes sense. Yeah, they do dress well, the Joshua's
don't they? Okay.
Sweet.
But this information means
nothing right now. No, that's why I'm...
Something we can do though because obviously we do this radio show
and we have people listen and we love to just fact check sometimes.
Sure, okay.
I want some people to call right now.
If you're a big online spender –
You don't have to have your name in that list?
No, you don't have to have your name in that list.
I just want you to call if you're a big
online spender. Yep, sure. That's it.
Male or female? Male or female.
0800 dial ZM
and we're going to do a little test next.
Sure, okay. A test of our own.
Brie and Clint.
Shout out to my fellow
online shoppers.
Welcome to the new world
people. Online shopping is king. Yeah, welcome shoppers. Welcome to the new world, people.
Online shopping is king.
Yeah, welcome to 2013.
We know that.
But you've just gone through a list of names.
You've named and shamed the biggest spenders in online shopping just by data.
There's no shaming. But, yeah, a survey has revealed the people's first names
who are more likely to spend big online.
So we've asked you to call us and admit that you're a big spender.
Yes.
And what are we going to do?
We're going to try and guess their name.
We've got the data, you see.
Based on this list.
Yeah.
Let's go to Big Spender 1 first.
Hello, Big Spender 1.
Hello.
Hello.
What's the last major purchase you made, Big Spender?
It was like $450.
Oh, online.
What was it?
It was a new turbo.
Oh, okay.
For your car.
Interesting.
Yeah, a lot of car people are buying a lot of stuff online these days.
Okay, using the data, we're going to try and guess your name.
Is it, oh, I don't know, Andy?
No. Philip? No.
Marcus? No. Jacob?
No. Luke?
No. Lewis? No.
Scott? No. Callum?
Callum. No. Chris?

Do you want to do one more?
We're going to try and get one right.
We've got to get one.
Okay, Big Spender 4, welcome to the show.
Hello. Hello, hello.
Hello. What was your last big online
purchase?
Shoes.
About 500.
Excuse me, what sort of shoes do you buy?
I actually
designed them myself on
Mikey ID, so I make
Jordans and stuff like that. I've always
wanted to do that. Fancy.
That's cool.
All right, and you dropped 500.
Okay, your name's definitely going to be on the list.
Yeah, absolutely.
Here we go.
Let's go to the data and find out your name.

Big, big spender.
Yeah.
Are you, wait, are you, are you playing with us?
Is your name Joshua?
Yes, it is.
Of course it is.
He spent $500.
One out of four ain't bad.
Congratulations, Joshua.
Thank you for playing with us.
And enjoy your new shoes.
You deserve them, babes.
You do you.
Gucci's on his feet.
Gucci's on his feet.
Yeah.
No, not Gucci.
He's got Jordans.
Oh, is it Jordans?
Yeah.
I don't know.
We got one right.
It's amazing.
If your name came up on that list, congratulations.
You too are a big spender.
Someone texts through and they go, clearly, you need more data.
Can I offer you a brisness proposition?
A brisness?
A business proposition.
Obviously, neither of us won Lotto last night.
I got home.
We got back from Invercargill today.
That's what you guys think.
No, no one won.
No one won.
It's at 50 million.
Well, if my bonus ticket is not winning, then fine.
Did you win a bonus ticket?
I might have.
You don't get Powerball on a bonus ticket,
which means you're not eligible for the 50 million.
God damn it.
I know.
That's such a cop-out.
I'm going to come out and say it.
I'd rather win nothing than get a bonus ticket.
There, I said it.
Yeah, but what if you win the millions off the bonus ticket?
Well, then I'll delete this audio and I'll pretend I never said it.
Why better?
I've got a business proposition for you.
What is it?
And this is making money the good old-fashioned way
by buying up all the houses.
Selling stolen goods.
Buying up all the houses and reaping the capital gains.
There's a property for sale on the Motueka River Valley,
and it's an old abandoned church.
It's actually quite creepy.
See this here?
I'll show you.
Haunted.
It does look haunted, yeah.
Yeah, it looks haunted.
The original altar is still inside.
Someone's been living in it.
You can see inside it there.
Oh.
It's selling Motueka Valley River.
It's not, like, handy to anything.
You're not going to commute to ZM from there.
I was going to say, where is it kind of closest to?
Probably the river.
It's for sale for $125,000.
Oh, that's pretty cheap.
The reason I think we should buy it is because they believe
that it's sitting on a gold mine.
It's literally sitting on a gold mine.
What do you mean?
Like a real gold mine?
Yeah, so they used to mine gold in that area back in the day
and they reckon this church, the land the church is sitting on,
they reckon there's still gold underneath it.
Who reckons?
The real estate agent?
That's a very good point.
Can you imagine?
You rock up there and they start telling these stories.
So rumour has it that this is actually on one of the most secluded gold mines
ever in New Zealand.
Now that you say that, I do feel like I've been suckered in
by oneroof.co.nz a little bit.
I feel like you've been had.
But even if it's not, it's a lovely church that needs a lot of work.
But, okay, no, cancel it, cancel it.
Kia ora, I'm Simon Bound, and I host Business is Boring,
a podcast that reckons it's anything but.
Join me each week as I chat with some of the most interesting
and inspirational players in the Aotearoa business scene
and learn what it takes to make it happen from accidental entrepreneurs
to the brains behind some of the country's biggest brands. If you're into business or want to be,
then make sure you follow Business is Boring wherever you get your podcasts.

Back to the drawing board, mate.
Back to Lotto, I think.
Back to Lotto.
Hey, 50 mil this weekend.
How good.
How good.
If I win 50 million this weekend,
I'm buying that church.
And we're digging.
And we're digging.
We're digging,
and we're not going to stop digging
until we find gold.
No, hey, why would we?
We'd have 50 million.
Yeah, true.
Good point.
If I won $50 million, I ain't doing shit.
Bree and Clint.
We like to talk about this when it happens.
Yeah, people suing each other.
Yeah, people suing each other for song rip-offs.
Have you ever sued anyone?
No.
Who am I going to sue?
I don't know.
No, I haven't sued anyone.
I didn't know that suing is really a thing in New Zealand.
I don't think it's a real big thing in Aussie either.
No, it's more American.
And this is taking place in America.
Yeah, we're talking about where an artist goes,
hey, they stole my song.
And coincidentally, they all wait a strangely long amount of time
before they put their lawsuit in.
It's as if they're waiting for the song to make as much money as possible.
And then they pounce.
And then they pounce and they go,
hey, give me some of that hot commish, you bish.
There's another one that's come to light.
Kendrick Lamar is involved in this one.
Yes, he contributed.
In fact, I think he did the whole Black Panther album
or at least he did quite a few other songs on there.
I think he did quite a few.
There's a song on the Black Panther soundtrack
that he did with The Weeknd and it's called Pray For Me.
This is a little bit of it here.
It's good, eh?
That whole Black Panther soundtrack was very, very good.
The band, who you may or may not be familiar with,
but Yaysayer have said that Kendrick...
Is it Yay Sayer?
Yeah, it's Yay Sayer.
Never heard of them.
How would you say that?
Yay Sayer?
It's Yay Sayer.
They've come out and said
that that song is stolen from their song,
which is called Sunrise.
Okay, let's have a listen. I want to get a sunrise
On the other side of the shore
I'd like to hear the official description.
The band claims that Pray For Me features a distinctive choral performance.
Choral? Choral performance from Sunrise.
Does that mean they're playing choral?
I think it means chorus of voices.
Oh.
Male voices singing in their highest registers with animated pulsing vibrato.
Any home...
We don't hear it.
Whose phone's talking?
So we've got producer Ben to whip up a bit of a comparison, yeah?
Yeah, I don't think they sound at all like each other.
This is the worst of all the ones we've had, I think.
Let's go around the room.
Does anyone think that that resembles...
No.
This?
This?
Does that sound like this?
No.
No.
I don't think so.
So what have you done, Producer Ben?
I've just grabbed the Kendrick audio of him doing sort of that chorus,
like a bunch of those vocals on top of each other.
Okay.
And putting it on the instrumental of the Sunrise song.
Okay.
So you just clean as, normal instrumental over it, no editing. See?
No.
Nothing there.
No, I don't think it matches.
And I was just like, oh, come on, there must be something.
Like, you know, it must sound some kind of similarity.
Yeah.
So I've actually made it so that the Kendrick, the new remix,
is beat matched with their beat.
Okay.
So if you think maybe there's a case.
I mean, I'm no expert, but it just sounds like you've done a hot remix to me.
Yeah, it sounds pretty fresh, actually.
No, it doesn't.
It's not good.
Don't sue them.
Right, are we dismissing this case?
Is that what we do?
Do we have the power to do that?
Of course we do.
Dismissing the case.
By the way, Yay Sayers is not even a band anymore.
They broke up in 2019.
So they're obviously looking for cash.
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
Every week we play, you go against Brie's superior movie knowledge
And if you can beat her, you get the mobile fuel
Which this year is jackpotting
Every time we don't give it away
No
To $300
We've had enough
It's all about, you know, if you win
You deserve to win a really good prize. We're
not just giving prizes out this year. Oh, yeah, that's the reason for the jackpot. Maddie's
going to take you on. Hi, Maddie. Hi, Maddie. Hi. Maddie, what's the last movie you saw
at the movies? Oh, I can't remember. Bad start, Maddie. Really bad start. Okay, I need you
on your toes. I bet, Maddie. I'm going to start with movie plots
and maybe some audio clues as
well. As soon as you think you know what the movie
is, you buzz in with your name.
The theme this week, we like to keep it topical.
And this weekend
the Lexus Urban Polo
starts. It's horse movies, isn't it?
Yeah, so today's theme will be
horse movies. Okay.
Alright. Yeah. Alright.
Yeah.
Maddie and I are both not very impressed.
Can you think of any
horse movies
off the top of your head?
War Horse.
My Little Pony.
Alright, okay.
Let's start it off.
Here we go.
First movie,
horse movie.
I'm going to be an audio clue
for this one.
Okay.
And you buzz in with your name
when you know what it is.
Good luck everybody.
England is at war.
We are at war.
Great.
War Horse.
Yeah, War Horse.
Get it!
Damn it, Matty.
You said War Horse just before.
I was like, Matty's got this one.
I'll start with that one.
Not cooking it.
Okay.
Second movie.
Horse movie.
Audio clue again.
You're really liking the audio clues
It's less work for me
You don't even do the movie plots
Producer Ben does them
Even less work for me
Movie number two
On your buzzer Matty
Here it is
Here's your clue
I said an old MacDonald had a farm
Brie
Brie
Old MacDonald? The Farm. Free, R-E-R. Brie.
Old Macdonald?
No, what movie is that?
What is that movie?
You want a free guess, Maddie?
Oh, um, I don't know, My Little Pony.
No, I'll play some more.
Oh, wait.
And on that farm he had a zebra.
Brie. Brie. Madagascar. Madagascar
Madagascar
Is incorrect
And a free guess Maddie
I don't know
I don't know that one
No okay play a bit more
A zebra
A zebra
But it wants to be a racer
A zebra who wants to be a racehorse.
Starring Chris Rock.
Oh, shit, it's the Stride.
Racing Stride, is it?
You want to buzz in with your name, Maddie?
Maddie.
Maddie.
Is it Racing Stride?
Well done.
Never even heard of that film.
It's animated.
It's about a zebra who wants to be a racehorse.
Can I just say, you said, oh, I guess he wants to be a horse,
but it's a movie about a zebra.
There's lots of horses in it, mate.
Okay, chill out.
Maddie liked that one.
Here we go.
Welcome to tie break.
Horse movies.
Movies that contain horses.
Your third audio-based clue.
Brie. Brie.
Brie.
Toy Story.
Incorrect.
Maddie, do you want a free guess?
My Little Pony.
Incorrect.
Brie.
Brie.
Toy Story 2.
Yeah, well done.
Can I say, if I had lost that, I would have come out there
and I would have strangled you, Ben?
Because that's bull.
Listen to how angry she is, Maddie, and she won.
Well, Maddie, do you not agree?
How could we pick whether it's one or two
based on the theme song of the movies?
Maddie thinks you're ungrateful.
You guys are annoying.
The jackpot goes to $350 in What's the Plot next week
because Maddie couldn't take Bree down.
She's on a strangling rampage.
Make it better next week.
I'm pretty disappointed in both of you this week.
We got onto the topic yesterday because we were in Southland.
What do they call vacuuming down there?
Luxing.
Luxing.
So they literally call vacuuming luxing because that's what the product's name is.
Well, yeah, the Lux vacuum cleaner.
I don't know if that is one or not, but yeah.
So that's a case of, and then we were talking about, you know,
what are other products that we literally call by the brand name
instead of the product name.
Americans do it too.
We all do it.
They say Hoover instead of that.
Yeah, Hoovering.
So you'll Hoover the floors.
Well, people are now using Dyson to say, oh, I'm going to Dyson the apartment. That's more of a flex though. Yeah, hoovering. So you'll hoover the floors. Well, people are now using Dyson to say,
oh, I'm going to Dyson the apartment.
That's more of a flex, though.
Yeah, it's harder.
That's more just to tell people that you've got a Dyson.
Yeah.
They're like, hey, man, you really need to vacuum.
Sorry, what, do I need to Dyson?
Similar thing, though.
Oh, because I've got a Dyson.
Just wanted to let you know I've got a Dyson.
There was a few that we thought about yesterday.
Like I said, obviously, you guys call a chili bin a chili bin. But
in Aussie, we call it an Esky because that's the biggest brand name of that product. That's
why we call it that.
I wonder if Esky is politically correct in 2020, because I don't think those people would
prefer to be called Eskimos anymore. They're called Inuits, aren't they?
I'm not sure. I haven't thought about it. Is the Esky company having a moral conundrum at the moment?
Are they thinking of adopting the word chili bin?
Who knows?
I don't know.
There's other, and then we were talking about, you know,
what are other kind of products that get called by their brand name
and not the actual product name?
Can you think of any?
Yeah, we talked about Sellotape.
Yeah, Sellotape is one.
Fairly standard.
Bubble Wrap.
Bubble Wrap. Yes Wrap. Bubble Wrap.
Yes.
Is Bubble Wrap not a...
That's the brand name.
Is Bubble Wrap a brand name?
It's the brand name.
See, isn't it crazy?
You don't even realise it.
But I would have thought, like, it is what it is.
Like, they've just named it what it is.
It's Bubbly Wrap.
So they've taken it and then trademarked it.
Still, brand name.
It's like if a company invented the knife,
set up the name Knife as their brand name. You're like if a company invented the knife, set up the name knife as their brand name.
You're like, well, what are we supposed to call our sharp things?
Cutty stick?
Thanks a lot.
I wouldn't mind cutty stick.
Some of the other ones that I was thinking about,
Jet Ski is one.
Is Jet Ski a brand?
Yes.
You might think that if you're riding around on, you know,
the general kind of machine that is a jet ski,
it's actually only a jet ski if it's made by Kawasaki.
Right.
That's what a jet ski is.
So what's a Sea-Doo?
It's a personal watercraft.
Right, okay.
I believe.
It doesn't really roll off the tongue, does it?
I don't even know where that came from in my brain.
Do you want to go personal watercrafting?
A few other ones I found.
Jacuzzi is a brand name.
Right, okay.
And not the actual product.
Crockpot.
Yeah, oh, okay.
The Crockpot is actually just the brand name for a slow cooker.
Knock me down with a feather.
This one blew my mind.
And then when I thought about it, I was like, yeah, duh.
Chapstick.
Yeah, good point.
Like I never ever say, which some people might,
but I always say I'm going to get my chapstick.
Yeah.
And like obviously it means lip balm.
That's the chapstick company.
Yeah, right.
But it's not, you know, it's a lip balm.
It's not a chapstick, but I call it a chapstick.
Lucky we've got another name for it.
Lip balm.
Otherwise you'd have to call it
mushy lipstick thing. This one
was mind-blowing as well.
Ping Pong.
Ping Pong is not...
Is a brand name for table
tennis stuff. Right.
There's a company called Ping Pong.
Yes. It was trademarked in
1901. Right. Okay.
Oh, what about this one? Yeah. Roll Right. Okay. Oh, what about this one?
Yeah.
Rollerblades.
Oh, I knew this one.
Brand name.
Yeah.
Not product.
They're inline skates.
Exactly.
I was a big rollerblader.
But who's calling them inline skates?
No one.
No one.
No.
We're all calling them rollerblades.
What about the Sharpie?
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
Black Magic Marker.
Same goes for Vivid.
Vivid Vivid
Sharpie
All of those
Yeah
What about Tupperware?
No I knew about Tupperware
That's a brand
Because Tupperware is like a cult
Once you get involved with Tupperware
It is
You have the parties
And all that kind of stuff
And the lifetime guarantee
Yeah
And what about
This one also blew my mind
Post-it notes
What do you call a post-it note?
Sticky sticky papers Does anyone make an exception For the Post-it note? Sticky, sticky papers.
Does anyone make an exception for the Post-it company
or have they got that corner of the market sewn up?
I tell you what, there's not a game you should enter,
the Post-it note market.
They've sorted that out.
They've got it under control.
They've got it under control.
But I wanted to ask people this afternoon on 0800...
You can't make it better.
You don't want it more sticky and you don't want it less sticky.
Well, it's true.
And to be honest, people are already flooding the text machine with the ones that they're
thinking of.
I want to know, is there something, a product that you call by the brand name and you've
only just kind of realised it now?
Yeah, right.
You're adding to the marketing.
Can you imagine?
You're doing the marketing for them.
Imagine if you worked in marketing and you came up with one of these names.
You should get like an award or something.
You probably do have an award. I'd say so.
You get like an Oscar version
for the marketing world.
Like an Oscar or a Grammy.
Call now.
0800 dial ZM.
To you.
What is the product
that you call by a brand
name without even really thinking about it?
It's actual marketing genius.
Yeah.
Like people are now starting to call vacuums just Dysons.
That's it.
What are you doing?
Oh, I've got to go Dyson the apartment.
Okay, maybe that's a stretch.
I think that was a stretch, but you were on a roll.
I was on a roll and there's a lot of people.
You said other good ones before.
I did say a lot of good ones.
We were just discussing and how it varies from country to country
Like for example
When you cut yourself like on your arm
And what do you put on it
Sticky
Band-aid
Well we call it a band-aid
In Australia you said plaster
But band-aid
Is the brand name not the actual thing
What about when you're trying to look
for something on the internet,
you're not search-engineering it, you're binging it.
No one's on Bing.
If I'm not on Google,
I'm on Ask Jeeves.
Lance is here.
G'day, mate. Hello. G'day.
How you going? Good. What are you,
what's the product that you're calling
by the brand name? Jibboard. Jibboard. Oh, yeah, what's the product that you're calling by the brand name?
Jibboard.
Jibboard.
Oh, yeah, that's the industry standard, right?
Yeah, mate.
You're obviously a tradie, yeah?
Yeah, mate.
So jibboard is, that's drywall, right? It's what walls are made of in houses.
Yeah, wallboard.
We call that plasters.
You call it plasters?
Plasterboard.
Jib's a New Zealand company, I think.
Oh. I've got a mate who is a sales rep Jib's a New Zealand company, I think. Oh.
I've got a mate who is a sales rep for Jib,
and he goes, mate, it's the easiest job in the world.
It sells itself because you go in there and you ask for Jib,
and you go, well, you asked for the brand name,
we're giving you that.
No one else has got a look in.
Yeah, true.
Yeah, okay.
Very true.
Someone else on the text machine, I found this interesting,
what they call liquid paper.
Oh, yeah.
Because here in New Zealand, you told me,
what's the name of the brand?
Twink.
I said, that's something different in Australia.
Again, with the way language is evolving,
twink means something else now.
Something completely different.
It's not a rude thing, though, isn't it?
It's just a member of a certain community.
Yeah. It's a member of the rainbow community. isn't it? It's just a member of a certain community. Yeah.
It's a member of the rainbow community.
Yeah, well, it's a certain, I guess...
Subset within a group within the rainbow community.
Yeah.
But it's not what you used to use to correct your writing on your paper.
No.
You'd be like, I need some twinks over here.
And they're like, you called for us?
We're here.
Claudia's here.
Hey, Claudia.
Hi, Claude.
Hi.
What's the product that you're actually using the brand name?
Dustbuster.
Oh, Dustbuster.
Yeah, like the handheld vacuum.
Wait, you still have a Dustbuster?
My grandmother had one.
Yeah.
I was going to say, the only time I've ever seen a Dustbuster was when my nan had one.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's yellow.
Yeah.
And does she use it to vacuum up breadcrumbs and stuff in the kitchen?
Yeah, she does, actually.
Yeah, she Dustbusters.
Frequently, yeah, Dustbuster.
Dustbuster.
The other thing is Jovies and Blu-Tack.
What's a Jovie?
They're kind of like crayons that you had when you were a kid. Oh, yeah, okay. But yeah, Blu-Tack's a classic. Yeah, Blu-Tack's a Jovi? They're kind of like crayons that you had when you were a kid.
Oh, yeah, okay.
But yeah, Blu-Tack's a classic.
And a lot of people on the text machine are saying Gladwrap.
Yeah, Gladwrap's fun.
But we don't use Gladwrap anymore because it's 2020 and we're woke
and we want to save the sea turtles.
Do you think Blu-Tack by any other colour would still work?
Like is blue part of its stickiness?
Yeah, there's Yellow-Tack.
Oh, was there?
We had Yellow-Tack.
Was that a separate brand?
No, it was called yellow tack and it was yellow.
Was it made by different people?
I don't know.
Or was it a different flavour of blue tack?
Let's talk to Kayleigh.
Hey, Kayleigh.
Hi, Kayleigh.
Hi, how are you?
What's the one you've got for us this afternoon?
Well, you're Australian.
Don't you remember what a luncheon's called?
It's called Devon.
Yes, Devon.
I loved it.
So when you go to the supermarket and you ask for Devon
and get looked at really weirdly, you have to point it out.
Is that luncheon meat?
Yeah, luncheon meat.
We call it Devon.
For a long time here in New Zealand too, it was called Chub.
Oh, well, that means something different back home as well.
Chub is the one.
No, it's very similar.
Chub was when you got a fat log of luncheon.
No, I know what it is.
No, no, luncheon sausage.
No, stop talking.
No, don't say it on the radio.
Luncheon sausage.
Don't say it.
That is taken in so many different ways.
Can we do a call-in topic tomorrow?
Oh, 800 dials at M.
Who's still eating luncheon?
I love luncheon.
Oh, did you guys have chicken meat?
Oh, with tomato sauce.
Yeah, but are you still buying it?
You live above a supermarket. Are you still buying any luncheon? I'm still buying it. And, Kayleigh, have chicken meat? Oh, with tomato sauce. Yeah, but are you still buying it? You live above a supermarket.
Are you still buying any luncheon?
Yeah, no, I'm not still buying it.
And, Kayleigh, I'm not asking if you still like it.
I'm asking are you still eating it?
No, no, no, I buy it for my daughter.
Yeah, kids love it.
Yeah, right.
So I've got one more for you guys, one more.
Someone texted through and they said,
obviously, you know, that umbrella company here in New Zealand,
Blunt, is doing big things.
Yes.
And they said, I call my umbrella Blunt.
I said, I need to go get my Blunt.
Again, that's it.
That's something different in Australia.
Oh, yeah, good point.
Imagine if you're in the office.
It's raining.
Hold on, I've forgotten my Blunt.
I'm just going to go get it.
I'm going to grab my Blunt.
Bree and Clint.

Oh, you don't like it?
What were you hoping for, Jodes?
I don't know, something a bit more upbeat.

That's the winner of Birthday Banger today.
From C&C Music Factory.
One of my favourites this year, I have to say.
Do you like it?
Yeah.
It's definitely different.
What year was that number one?
1990, 1991.
1991.
Yes.
It's very early 90s sounding, eh?
I love it.
So good.
One, two, three, four.
Hit it.
Oh, yeah.
Every day we do Birthday Banger.
We delve into the archives and we just play a song that was number one on your birthday.
If you want to do it with us, about 5.30 every day, try and get through to us.
And we'll run yours through the computer and figure out what it is for you.
Pretty simple.
Sometimes I have some ideas that are good.
Most of the time I have ideas that aren't very good.
And I thought I'd create
a segment where I could get the bad ideas and workshop them with you guys. Yeah, cool.
And here it is. Guys, Bree's got another big creative radio game idea again. Oh, we told
her no more ideas like that for the show. Ah, here we go. Bree's brainstorm. You know
like brainstorm with Bree?
Yeah, that's what I'm trying to get across.
Just workshopping a few ideas.
Call it turd polishing.
Yeah, polishing a few turds.
Maybe we'll find a gold nugget.
What's your big idea this week?
Did you get that?
Yeah, I got it.
Okay.
I've got an idea for a game, and I thought, you know, why put boundaries on it?
I'm going to get you to play, Clint.
You're going to be a player.
Present.
I'm going to get Producer Ben to play.
Yeah, I'll play.
Producer Ellie, you're in.

Sure thing.
The game this afternoon that we will be playing,
there is, of course, five players.

Is there a prize?
Yeah, we'll figure out a prize.
It'll be a beer at the pub, okay?
Beer at the pub is up for grabs this afternoon.
Raise keen.
Raise in.
I'm sure Hen would like to be involved in that.
With essentially the idea of the game is a movie-based game,
and I like to call the game Badly Described Movies.
Right, so is it similar to What's the Plot?
Very similar, but a real horrible version of that.
Okay, sure.
Okay?
Yeah.
Right, so your names are your buzzers.
When you know the film, buzz in with your name.
Badly Described Films.
Here comes movie number
one. A guy
dealing with the fact his wife
was murdered, his only son
was kidnapped, and the only
one will help him is a stranger.
Ellie!
Ellie's in. Finding Nemo.
It is! Yes!
She's got one!
Alright, one to Ellie.
I'm getting the hang of the game.
Getting the vibe?
Okay, here comes movie number two.
Are you still there, Ray?
Yeah, mate.
Come on, guys.
Buzz in with your names if you know it.
Here we go.
Movie number two.
Yeah.
Rich girl lets poor man freeze to death.
Oh, Clint.
Yes.
Titanic. It is the. Yes. Titanic.
It is the Titanic.
Nice work.
Okay, here comes...

No, I don't think I do.
All right, maybe one for Ray.
This might be a bit up your street, Ray.
Here we go.
Okay.

A fight with adult-sized glow sticks.
Clint. Yeah, that glow sticks. Clint.
Yeah, that's good.
Yep.

Are you there at all, Hin?
Clint could take the game.
Come on, guys.
Here we go.
You could win everything here, Clint.
Movie number four.
I'm trying to think which one you won't get.
Okay, here we go.
A nine-hour trip to return a piece of jewellery.
Clint.
Oh, damn it.
Ellie.
Lord of the Rings trilogy.
It is the Lord of the Rings.
What?
Dang it.
I'm done with this.
You've won this afternoon. the rings. Dang it. I'm going good at this. Yeah.
You've won
this afternoon.
I'd like to
thank Ray
and
you were
useless
and Hen
especially
who phone
may have been
broken.
We heard so
little from him.
Yeah well I
mean let's
get the guys
back on next
week.
We'll play
another round.
I mean they
can only get
better.
What was the working name for the game?
It's Badly Described Movies.
It's not bad, actually.
Okay.
Bree and Clint.
Look, this is one for anyone who's getting married soon.
Okay.
And something to think about.
Maybe you haven't thought about this yet, but a themed wedding.
What sort of theme?
I don't know.
It depends.
Maybe it's something to do with your relationship.
Maybe it's something you really love.
I don't know.
I've seen like Harry Potter themed weddings.
Yeah, I've never been to a themed wedding.
I would worry if I was having a themed wedding that that's just the thing you're into at the moment.
And then in five years time you go, oh my God, I can i like star wars that much you know yeah but it's still cool because like i
don't know it's different yeah i guess live in the moment i guess yeah well there's a pair of newlyweds
uh over in the states colorado to be exact who they've had a themed wedding. I've never heard of a wedding being this theme before, but I like it.
I think it's quite fun.
Okay.
The pair of newlyweds have shown their love for cannabis as well as each other on their
big day with a full-blown weed wedding.
Weed wedding.
Yeah.
Did we get the Bob Marley music?
I can get you some Bob Marley music.
Yeah, sure.
It doesn't, I mean, this music doesn't really.
Yeah, no, no.
I think it's there, I think.
You're absolutely right.
We can do this.
Kind of suits the theme more.
Yeah, sure.
There we go.
Imagine you turn up to the nuptials.
They hand you a spliff.
And they say, right, when he kisses the bride, we're all going to do a drag.
Is that what they did?
No, so anyway, so this is what they did.
So their names are Clara and Dusty.
They had the ceremony on their home ranch back in 2017.
It included a well-stocked cannabis bar loaded with pipes
and bongs for everyone.
If you wanted to get involved.
Yeah.
You didn't have to.
Plenty of flower varieties to choose from.
Right.
It was also fun because it was next to a cannabis field.
Oh, okay.
So you go and harvest your own if you want.
And the bridal flower arrangements
was all marijuana.
Yep.
It was a spliftacular event.
It sounds fun for them.
Rough if it's not your idea of a good time
because of all the secondhand smoke
that would be there.
Like imagine you're quite straight edge
when you go to this wedding.
Just being in the same room as a marijuana wedding, I imagine.
Yeah, but you know what?
It's not your day.
You're right, it's not your day.
It's their day.
Fair enough, yep.
So wear a gas mask.
Easy brief for the DJ for the wedding, too.
Yeah, right.
Can you imagine the playlist?
It'd be Bob Marley.
Catch a fire.
Sublime.
Yep.
What else would be on there?
To be honest, it wouldn't really matter.
No one would really care.
Everyone would be having a great time.
Everyone would be home by 10 o'clock and in bed as well.
So get this.
This is my favourite part of the whole wedding.
So obviously, you know, they've got all the theme stuff happening
and they're exchanging their vows
and they shared their first kiss
as man and wife.
Yeah.
And after they did that,
they both ripped
a special made wedding bong together.
That's special.
That's love.
All right, well consider that theme
for your wedding.
I want to talk about 660 for a second,
who this summer have just been the single biggest
thing in the country concert wise right yeah they've just absolutely skyrocketed haven't they
um i was reading today an article that was published by the new site the spinoff which
shows that 660 are on track to break a really substantial record in the New Zealand music charts.
What record is it?
So their second album, 662, maybe you might call it the Colours album, had all the colours
on the cover of it.
When it came out, it debuted in the New Zealand music charts at number one, and that was on
the 9th of March in 2015.
Okay.
Since then, the album has been in the top 40 for
260 weeks straight.
That's wild.
That 660 album has not
left the New Zealand top 40
since it came out in five
years. Insane.
The album that
has the record, so only one album
is ahead of that 660 record for
longest time in the charts
is by Pink Floyd and it's
Dark Side of the Moon. If you don't know who Pink Floyd
is, think about that classic cover
where it's a diamond, a triangle
with a light that goes into it and a rainbow coming
out the other side. Think about all those band
t-shirts that people wear but probably
don't know who the band is. They've got one
that's pretty common.
So their album has been in the chart
for six years well it was in the chart for six years 297 weeks a long time 660 with their 2015
album are on track to break that record and they will be new zealand's longest charting album of
all time if they can do it you think it's a good thing oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no. This is where the boomer community have rallied together to say,
in no roundabout way, they don't think 660 deserves to break the record.
I've delved into the comments section of the article.
Oh, no.
Joe Kerry writes,
FFS, not even in the same league.
Imagine if Pink Floyd had the internet to market themselves.
Not comparing apples with apples here.
That's a rubbish comparison.
Thank you, Joe.
You know what? I'm actually kind of proud of Joe
that he knew what FFS was.
From Russell Polinsky.
This is Boomer Chat about 660 breaking Pink Floyd's record,
or about to anyway.
Comparing 660 to Pink Floyd's record, or about to anyway. Comparing 660 to Pink Floyd is ridiculous.
A similar ridiculous comparison was made a few years ago
when One Direction was compared to the Beatles.
And I mean, how on earth can you compare one British boy band
to another British boy band?
Totally hear you, Russell.
Thank you for the boomer chat.
More boomer chat from Adam Jameson.
But the Pink Floyd album was a seminal moment in rock history. I can totally hear you, Russell. Thank you for the boomer chat. More boomer chat from Adam Jameson.
But the Pink Floyd album was a seminal moment in rock history.
Yeah, but that's fine.
It doesn't mean... And he says, 660 are who exactly?
I've never even heard their songs.
Oh, come on, mate.
Maybe you should listen to one of the songs.
You might actually like it.
This is the thing about people who hate for hate's sake.
They usually don't know much about what they tune in, you might actually like it.
About what they're hating on.
That's usually right.
Just a bit more boomer banter from the article that says,
660 are on track to break Pink Floyd's album record.
Are you baked right now?
Jeff Leland said, oh, the horror.
One of the most humdrum, mediocre acts in New Zealand music history.
You can't call them mediocre when they're selling out Western Springs. You know what I don't understand about these people who write hateful comments?
And they're all, you know, they're probably commenting stuff like this quite often.
You know, I just don't understand why people can't just be happy for other people.
Right.
Just be happy.
Be proud.
They're Kiwis doing well. Like, just be happy for other people. Right. Just be happy. Be proud. They're Kiwis doing well.
Like, just be happy for other people.
No one is saying Pink Floyd isn't everything that they were.
And if 660 breaks the record, guess what?
You don't have to stop listening to Pink Floyd either.
They still exist.
If the record gets broken, Pink Floyd, yes, you can still buy it.
