Face. Got. Free. And. we're up. We're running. Good afternoon, everybody. It's because we're broadcasting from the future.
From the future.
That's why.
I thought in the future that technology would just work.
I thought that's what we were working towards.
It's all old technology where we live now.
Right.
And we're coming up an old copper line, I understand.
Exactly, yep.
We are on our hot tub time machine tour.
The DeLorean is parked up in the Cathedral Square in Christchurch.
We'd love you to come down and see her in all her resplendent glory.
She's got the flux capacitor.
She's got, yeah, all, not much else.
Not much else.
She doesn't have a warrant of fitness, but don't tell the police that.
We also have connected to her our very own hot tub, a Degree 43 hot tub,
which we're going to be doing the second half of the show live out of.
Bree and I just realised that we can't actually do four hours of radio out of
a hot tub or we will literally shrivel
up and die. It'll be a Bree and Clint
soup. I wonder how that would taste.
Not good. The whole show today, live from Christchurch
is Cathedral Square. Like we said, we'd
love to see you for our hot tub
time machine tour. But to start the
show today, let's have another round of Tradie vs
Lady, shall we? That's right.
Bree and Clint's Tradie vs Lady, shall we? That's right. Bree and Clintz.
Tradie vs Lady.
Alright, you know the drill.
Tradie vs Lady. If you want to
play, 50 bucks on the line.
However many questions, you just need to beat
the other person. Call now. 0800
dial ZM and you can go head to head
next. We'll play after Jason Derulo
and take you dancing. Bree and Clintz
ZM.
Bree and Clintz. Now. Bree and Clint. Now.
Bree and Clint.
Tradie versus
Lady.
Let's crack into some Tradie v. Lady.
It's the Ladies versus the
Tradies. And who's up first?
Okay, today, playing for the Tradies, his name
is Sam. Good afternoon, Sam.
Hello, hello. Hello, hello. Alright, Sam, you'll be taking on Megan for the Tradies, his name is Sam. Good afternoon, Sam. Hello, hello.
Hello, hello.
All right, Sam, you'll be taking on Megan for the ladies.
Hi, Megan.
Hi, welcome, everybody.
Hi.
All right, guys, I've got the questions here.
When you know the answer, buzz in with Tradie or Lady.
It's the first person to get three questions right.
You take home the 50 bucks.
All right.
All right, here we go.
Question number one.
Currently we're in Christchurch broadcasting from our DeLorean. What island is Christchurch not in?
Yes, Sam?
North Island.
That's correct.
Yeah, I'll give you that.
It was a trick question.
You just managed to pick up on it in the end.
All right, one to the tradies.
Here comes question number two.
Adele has been in the news lately settling her divorce.
What was Adele's first big hit?
Was it A, Rolling in the Deep, B, Hello, or C, Chase it?
Yes.
Megan.
Hello?
Hello?
No, that is incorrect.
Sam, would you like to give it a crack?
What was the third option?
The third option is chasing pavements.
I'm going to say A.
Rolling in the deep.
That is incorrect.
It is chasing pavements.
Yeah, okay.
No points there.
All right, still one to the tradies.
Question number three.
We're currently on our Hot Tub Time Machine tour
with our makeshift DeLorean.
In Back to the Future 2,
what year did Marty and Doc travel to into the future?
Is it A?
Yes, Sam?
Is it 2008?
That's incorrect.
And I'll continue the question.
A, 2019, B, 2015, or C, 2017?
Lady.
Yes, Megan?
C?
2017.
No, guys, it's B, 2015.
You were close.
All right, still one to the tradies.
Question number four.
How do you spell basic?
I'll use it in a sentence.
Anyone who owns a vape from a service station is basic.
Yes, Megan?
C-A-S-I-C.
Correct.
If you weren't able to spell basic, it's actually a test.
You're basic.
Yeah, exactly.
I'm pretty basic.
Yeah, well done.
You're not, and you've got a point.
That's one to the tradies, one to the ladies.
Here comes question number five.
What do you call a baby pig?
Tradies.
Come on, guys, tradies.
I nearly gave it away.
Yeah.
I nearly gave it away.
I know, you almost did the answer in the question.
All right, two to the tradies, one to the ladies.
Question number six.
Tom Brady is playing in his 10th Super Bowl at the age of 43.
What is the official retirement age in New Zealand?
Tradie.
Yes, Sam?
Is it 65?
That's correct.
You're looking at me for the score?
Yeah. That's correct You're looking at me for the score? Yeah
Sam got the question number one
I think it's two points to Sam, one point to Megan
Alright, question number seven
Sam, you can take it here
We're doing our show from a hot tub today
At what temperature does water boil?
Treaty
Yes, Sam, for the win
Is it Three boil. Trudy. Yes, Sam, for the win.
Is it three?
Me, lady.
45 degrees.
That's incorrect.
Megan.
Is it 100 degrees?
It is 100 degrees.
We're at deadlock and we've run out of questions.
That means you get 25 bucks each.
Nice work, guys, at the time.
Perfect end to the perfect top. Yeah, yeah.
Perfect end to the perfect game.
Crushed it.
Okay.
Nice work, guys.
Bree and Clint.
Bree and Clint live from Christchurch today in the Hot Tub Time Machine.
The Hot Tub is actually set up.
It's hot.
It's ready for us to get in.
It's from Degree 43.
We've got one of these to give away to someone for a whole week set up at their place.
That's right. They'll come to you. It's a hot tub on wheels. If you want to see
the Degree 43 hot tub and win one
for a week, go and check out our Facebook page
right now. There's a comp up there. Hey,
I said before that climate change is going
to possibly force you to give up something
that you love. As a New Zealander, I think you
would argue that this thing is your birthright.
And look, we knew it was going to be hard.
None of us want to have to put one of
those Tesla batteries in our garage,
but we're going to have to eventually. None of us
want to catch the
bus, but we might have to eventually.
Are the buses going to be battery powered
too? Yes, they are. They are? Yeah, yeah, they're coming.
That's a big battery. It's a big battery.
That is a big battery. You want a fast charger.
The Climate Change Commission report was released last week.
This sounds boring.
Yeah, well, it's got the list of everything that we need to do.
That if we want to beat climate change,
this has got the list of everything we need to do in it.
All right, Greta, give it to us.
One of the things that it suggested that we will have to give up by 2025
is LPG gas bottles,
which means no more barbecues.
No, no, no, no.
No more barbecues, no more sausage sizzles.
You can take my plastic bags.
You can take the plastic straws.
Take all the plastic.
I don't give a crap about the plastic,
but you're not taking my bloody barbecue.
All those dude bros out there who invested all that money
in the last few years into those webbers
that go on the charcoal pellets and stuff.
Yeah.
And it takes like five years to cook yourself a sausage,
but it doesn't use any LPG.
Those are the guys who are laughing in this situation.
They're like...
Oh, they're killing it right now.
They're stroking their beards with the beard oil in it.
They're like, I told you this was a lifestyle investment.
What would summer be like if your dad
didn't walk out to the barbecue
and goes, oh, who bloody
forgot to fill up the barbecue
gas cylinder again? Or the guy
who thinks he's got enough gas to get through a barbecue
and slowly but surely the temperature
is dropping halfway through cooking this
sausage. He's like, we'll just finish them in the
microwave. I've got to go to the server though.
It'll be right. We'll just chuck them in the microwave for the last 15 minutes.
It'll be okay.
So they're going to get rid of those?
Yeah, by 2025, they're saying no more LPG.
That's what they want to do.
That's what they're saying one of the things we need to do is to beat climate change.
So you have to have, what, an electric barbecue?
Yep.
Well, I mean, what about the saying from my homeland,
throw another shrimp on the barbie?
Throw another shrimp on the electric barbie. That doesn't have the same ring my homeland, throw another shrimp on the barbie? Throw another shrimp on the electric barbie.
That doesn't have the same ring to it.
Throw another shrimp in the microwave.
Throw another shrimp on the conventional cooktop.
The people who are really freaking out about this are Bunnings Warehouse.
Because that's their main marketing ploy is sausage sizzles.
So how's any, I mean, what are you going to go in there for now?
Potting mix?
No, thank you.
The main reason I'm going in there is for a pre-cooked sausage.
I've never bought anything from inside the store.
I just buy the sausages outside.
Like I said, it could be considered a birthright to have a barbecue at your house here in New Zealand.
But we want to flip that on its head this afternoon and ask if there's anybody out there in the height of a Kiwi summer who's willing to come on and admit that they don't even like barbecues.
Not a barbecue fan.
They don't like food cooked outside.
And we want to know why.
Why are you not a barbecue fan?
Yeah, what is it?
Yeah.
What is it about the barbecue that you're just not into it?
That you're not a fan of.
If your mates are having one, you bring some Subway.
Now, look, we are in New Zealand, so you can remain anonymous.
If you need anonymity, we can provide that to you.
So, yeah.
But we'd love to hear from you this afternoon.
0800 dial ZM.
Do you hate a barbecue?
Are you excited about the fact that barbecues are going to get banned?
Is this the time of your life that you've been waiting for?
0800 dial ZM.
You can text us on 9696 as well.
Bree and Clint. And we're live on the Hot Tub
Time Machine Tour today in Christchurch,
the Garden City, the City That Shines. We're next
to the Cathedral.
They're working on it at the moment. It's almost finished,
I think.
There's a few finishing touches to go on.
But the boys are working hard on the Cathedral.
It's looking not bad. It might be ready
in time for the proposed changes to barbecues in New Zealand.
Apparently, if we want to prevent global warming, barbecues have got to go.
LPG barbecues, they're a thing of the past.
People are saying on the text machine, Clint, they're like, you know,
what about all the homes that have converted to water and cooktops to gas in their homes?
Yeah, well, you guys are screwed.
What about them?
My house has a gas cooktop.
From what I can tell,
household gas, I think, is fine until 2050,
but those small LPG cylinders,
they've got to go...
This is if...
By the way, this is not the law.
Please don't go and put your mass port
on Trade Me this afternoon
because I said that it's getting outlawed.
This is what is being suggested
by the Climate Change Commission.
This is being put forward at the moment.
We'll renegotiate and we'll come to an agreement that says
we'll get rid of them by 2040.
And then we'll worry about it later.
Yeah, that's a later problem.
But we've asked you this afternoon,
are you willing to come on the radio and say you don't even like barbecues?
Are you a New Zealander who couldn't give two tosses
about a sausage that was cooked outside?
It's a brave thing to do because you're swimming upstream with this opinion.
Do you like your sausages indoors?
Are you an indoor sausage person?
Sarah is here.
Hi, Sarah.
Hi, how are you?
I'm not going to use that wording when I address you.
Sarah, you like your sausages inside?
I like eating sausages outside, but inside.
But they just make such a mess cleaning the barbecue.
I can't be bothered.
Okay, okay, all right.
So your sausage will go outdoors,
but it needs to be cooked indoors for you.
Yeah, sorry, guys.
You just think it's a lot of admin cleaning up the barbecue.
It just gets in places it's got no business being, to be fair.
I've actually thought about this,
because our barbecue at our house would be no more than nine or ten metres
away from the stove.
And I'm like, this is a very expensive outdoor replacement
for something that works perfectly well indoors.
Yeah, but Sarah, what about, you know, you put a bit of beer on at the end
and you scrape it around and don't you get any enjoyment out of that?
No, sorry.
Okay, fair enough.
Okay, would you be happy to never have another
barbecue again
in your life?
Oh, my kids would kill me,
but yes, probably.
There you go.
It's not about your kids.
Well, actually,
it is about your kids.
It's about climate change.
It's not about them.
You're actually doing them a favour.
You go, no more barbecues.
You're going to have
a planet to live on.
Thanks, Sarah.
Fair enough, Sarah.
Good point.
Amber's here.
Good afternoon, Amber.
Welcome to the show.
Hi, guys. How are you? Good, thanks. Sausages indoors, Sarah. Fair enough, Sarah. Good point. Amber's here. Good afternoon, Amber. Welcome to the show. Hi, guys. How are you?
Good, thanks. Sausages indoors, Amber.
Definitely.
You hate a barbecue.
I cannot stand
the burnt chargrill flavour.
What?
Right. Really?
Well, that's the signature of a lot of people's barbecue.
There's the char on the outside of the sausage.
And when they give it to you, when they give you this burnt husk of a sausage,
they'll say to you, it's good for you.
The charcoal is good for you.
Yeah, it's good for your teeth.
It's good for your teeth.
It's good for your bowels.
Yeah.
Or something like that.
No, not me.
Right.
So it's not the inconvenience.
It's actually the taste of barbecue that you don't like, Amber.
Yeah, absolutely.
Yeah, right.
Not me.
I'm shooketh by that, Amber, but I appreciate you.
You know, that's a lot of courage to come on here and say that.
We're getting a few brave vegetarians text through as well
who are happy to see the back of barbecues.
Someone said, lamb juices get all over my vegetarian corn fritters.
Yep, fair enough.
Eating outside while sand flies eat my ankles.
I don't think so.
I'm a vegetarian lasagna and red wine on the couch, please.
Yep, I read that text and I felt it to my core.
I agree.
You're a vegetarian lasagna on the couch kind of girl.
Wait, where does it say vegetarian lasagna?
Brie and Clint from iHeartRadio.
This is the latest live from LA with Zee McCarthy.
Brie, I know you're excited for the Sex and the City.
Oh, no.
Are you excited for the Sex and the City reboot or are you not?
Because there's no Samantha in it.
I'm in two minds.
It can't be the real Sex and the City without Samantha.
Well, they're pushing ahead anyway.
And here with some goss on the plot line is Dean McCarthy.
Hi, Dean.
G'day, Dean.
Hey, guys.
I feel the same as Brie.
I'm like, oh, I don't know how I feel about this.
But I'm going to say a really fascinating little plot line has been revealed.
They're actually going to cover Pope in the show.
So they are going to reference, I don't know how,
or how they're going to keep it light and fun and sexy and New York and everything
with that as such a heavy theme.
But yeah, that's what Sarah Jessica Parker said.
They're going to be covering it in the show somehow.
Very, very, very mixed reviews from fans about that storyline
Some are like, really?
That's very insensitive
Others think it's appropriate
Because New York was such a hot spot
Yeah, so whatever it is
It's going to be amazing
It's not going to be the same without Samantha though, is it?
It's probably not
It just dropped out a little bit too
COVID-19 is what they're going to cover off
They have to
Sex in the City can't do a storyline set today
And COVID-19 not be a thing
Because otherwise people would see them going out on dates
And they'd be like where's your face mask
Why aren't you socially distancing
Are they going to be wearing face masks
When they catch up at the cafe
But then I mean there's only going to be three of them
It's like Sex in the City without Samantha
Is like spaghetti without the parmesan cheese.
You'll replace her, won't you?
Won't they get a new one?
I reckon they just do what they did with Aunt Viv.
You shut your mouth.
And they just replace Samantha with someone else.
You shut your mouth.
Who's playing the same character.
I am.
Just get another blonde lady.
Hey, Andy, back in the studio, take Clint's mic down right now.
He doesn't need to talk anymore. Well, Andy back in the studio, take Clint's mic down right now. He doesn't need to talk
anymore. Well, there's two solutions. You either
replace her and don't talk about
it or you kill her character off.
Said by a true non-Sex
in the City fan.
That is the latest. Live out of
Los Angeles with our Hollywood correspondent
Dean McCarthy.
We're live in the hot tub
time machine. That's right. It's a spa pool connected to a DeLorean.
It's genius.
It's radio genius.
Well, a DeLorean slash Mitsubishi Diamante.
If the radio commission are listening,
we're actually in Cathedral Square
if you'd like to bring down our radio award for the idea.
We're here.
We're in costume.
I'm dressed up as Doc.
We're ready to accept.
I'm dressed as Marty
because that's how cohesive this idea is. I was actually hoping that the christchurch wizard would stop by because i
mean he you just call his name and he'll appear is that how it works wizard oh there he is look
he's over there um have you seen the thing taken over social media recently where everyone's posting
memes about game stock yeah only recently um people are posting stonks, memes, their stories.
You see some mates who have said that they've bought some GameStop shares
and that sort of thing.
I am the sort of person, when I see that sort of thing,
I need to understand what it is.
I need to try and figure it out.
And I've done a deep dive, and do you want me to explain it
as best I understand the GameStop thing?
Yeah, but don't get all weird business talk.
Okay, sure.
I understand.
Because then I'm out.
So it's a stock on the US share market.
I'm out.
I'm just kidding.
All right, I'll try and concentrate as hard as I can.
It's a stock for a business that is kind of failing.
So it was going down.
And what you've got is you've got billionaires who manage things called hedge funds.
And what they were doing is they were going, oh, this stock is going to poo itself.
It's going to go down, down, down.
So they borrow a bunch of shares.
And while they've got in possession of them, they sell them.
And they know that it's going to go cheaper.
And then when they need to give the shares back, they buy them back at a cheaper price.
And they pocket the profit.
That's the confusing bit, okay?
What some nerds did is they got together on Reddit, and they went, these guys are convinced
this share's going to go down.
Let's all band together and buy this stock and send it up, and that way it's going to
cost these rich people a lot of money.
And it did, and what these Reddit users have done is they've cost these guys billions of dollars because
they've sent the GameStop share through the roof.
Does that make sense?
Do you understand it now?
It's like a, it's kind of like a, it's kind of like a Robin Hood story, I guess.
It's like a take the power back.
I've lost you, haven't I?
What language are you talking?
Well, let me just, let me just finish.
Rich?
Let me finish it off with this, okay?
So the nerds have won.
Got it.
So the nerds have combined forces.
They've only won if they all stick together
and hold on to their stocks.
But the problem is they bought them cheap.
Now the stocks are worth heaps.
And if they sell them, then they make heaps of money.
But if they sell them, then it defeats the purpose that
they've done this whole thing you do so now you've got people who are buying billboards people who
know how to do this are buying digital billboards and like times square and stuff going please if
you bought some game stop stock hold on to them we've got to finish this thing off and i don't
know what the end goal is but then i hold on to them but there's news about some kid who's like
nine years old who's like yeah mean i'm gonna I'm going to get some of those stocks. And he just sold his today and made himself $3,000.
So, yeah.
What would you do?
Sell them.
You know, there's money to be made right now.
So you can't blame anyone who wants to cash out.
Stuff the team.
I'm going out on my own.
Bree and Clint.
Bree and Clint, we're live on the Hot Tub Time Machine tour.
We're going to be in the hot tub in, I reckon, about 50 minutes.
Shall we hop in there?
If you're ready.
Did you bring your kini?
Yeah, no, I got it.
Are you going in that full dock suit, that full back to the future suit?
I'm going in a full wetsuit.
Yeah, nice.
Yeah, because I thought that's smart, going in a full wetsuit into a hot tub.
You're going to be hot in the Degree 43 hot tub, which I just took the tip.
It's actually 42.5 degrees at the moment.
It's nearly spot on.
You can win one of these hot tubs for a week at your house as well.
It's on our Facebook page right now.
You can go and enter that comp.
Great prize.
Something you can't win is your first home.
You have to hustle and grind and work your way there by yourself.
And it's not easy.
You're preaching to the choir.
I've been looking for a year and a half, two years.
I've given up.
It's demoralising.
It's infuriating and it seems impossible.
And the story I'm about to tell you is going to make it worse.
Oh, great.
I love these stories.
A couple of first homebuyers have just got onto the ladder.
So congratulations.
Oh, yay for them.
Congratulations.
This is good news.
We've got another set of first homebuyers on the ladder.
Won their house at auction over the weekend in the leafy Auckland suburb of Greyland.
Oh, nice suburb.
Nice suburb.
It's where The Rock grew up.
Oh, is it?
Dwayne The Rock Johnson.
Oh, well, that's how nice it is.
There you go. It wasn't as nice when he lived there.
It was a bit more affordable.
However, coincidentally, he can now afford to live there.
Just.
Anyway, these first home buyers have just bought their first home
for... First home in Grey Lynn.
First home in Grey Lynn, yeah. Look out.
We're talking some privileged individuals here
but we don't know how they got their money. They could have hustled and
grind and pulled their Kiwi Sabre. Yeah, no, I'm sure.
First home in Grey Lynn.
Three bedroom villa.
2.375 million dollars.
Get out of here.
Almost two and a half million million for a first home.
Your first home and you're spending $2.5 million.
You hope it's bloody nice.
But to be honest, for that price in Auckland, it's probably a do-up.
It would be a do-up.
It's probably gone by the worst house, best street mentality, you know?
Well, yeah, if you're buying in Grey Lynn,
you're probably not getting much for $2.5 million.
Look, that's a ridiculous example, and I'm kind of kidding.
I don't want you to get too down on yourself.
No, it's too late.
You really took the wind out of my sails.
Do you want to know what the average house price is in New Zealand?
Not really.
This is everything.
This is from Cape Reanga to the Bluff and everything in between.
Once you put them all together, all the house prices,
and you work out the average house price.
What is it? Well, do you want to have a guess? Actually, the house prices, and you work out the average house price. What is it?
Well, do you want to have a guess?
Actually, do you want to have a guess?
Average house price.
I'm going to say, so this is everywhere.
Everywhere.
All over New Zealand.
All over New Zealand.
$350,000.
$350,000.
No.
Can you get a bit more realistic?
Go up.
Oh.
Sorry, I was wishful thinking.
Well, you've got to remember, the $350,000 that you can get in bluff
are going to be dragged way up by the $2.5 million in Grey Lynn.
$550,000.
It's higher, isn't it?
I'm going to need you to come up with a bit more.
Okay, $650,000.
$750,000?
The average house price in New Zealand is $788,000.
That's the average.
Why do you bring these stories to me?
I don't want to hear about it.
So you know how much you've got to...
How much deposit is that?
20%. It varies.
There's lots of ways to get your deposit going now.
I don't know.
Some need 20, some need 10.
You don't know because you're sitting pretty
in your lovely house with its multiple bedrooms.
You've got to sleep outside.
Multiple bedrooms.
You've just done your barbecue area.
Haven't you just renovated?
You've renovated it, haven't you?
Excuse me.
Excuse me.
It's lovely, isn't it?
Excuse me.
I'll have you know, I paid almost exactly the average house price.
I'm sure you did.
We want to hear this afternoon
from some boomers
who aren't afraid to come on the radio
and want to admit that they're a boomer.
We mean it in a loving way.
Yes.
Some of my favourite parents are boomers.
Okay.
Hey, my mum's a boomer
and she's my favourite.
She's a boomer.
We want you to come on if you're a boomer
and tell us how much you paid for your first home.
Okay.
We really want to know. Yeah. What year was it? And where did you buy it? Where did you buy it? And how much you paid for your first home. Okay? We really want to know.
Yeah.
What year was it?
And where did you buy it?
Where did you buy it and how much did you pay?
And how much did you pay?
Yeah.
Actually, I'd like to know from my mum how much she paid.
Can you text her?
I'll text my mum as well and we'll see if we can find out how much our parents paid
for their first homes.
All right.
If you want to tell us and you are a boomer how much you paid on your house, we would
love to have you on the show this afternoon.
0800 DIAL ZM or you can text it to us on 9696.
Just tell us what year, where it was, and how much you paid.
Bree and Clint.
We're talking house prices at the moment.
Someone has just bought their first home, I'll repeat,
first home in Greyland in Auckland for $2.3 million.
I feel like it's just something, if you went back in time, in a time machine,
and you tried to tell our parents
that this is what it was going to be like,
they wouldn't believe you.
No, they wouldn't.
My parents don't believe me now.
They're in country Queensland, and I said to them,
this is how much houses cost in Auckland,
and they're like, get out of here.
Do they do to you what my dad does to me?
He's like, come on back to Roderick Auckland. You'll get one
for like a quarter of that. All the time.
Why don't you just move back here? You can work at the local
radio station. You can get one for way cheaper.
You can get one bigger. Pool.
We wanted to know this afternoon, are you a boomer
and are you willing to tell us how much you paid for
your house? We mean boomer in the most
loving, affectionate way possible. Exactly.
But if you're willing to admit it and you're willing to tell us,
come on down like Yvonne has. Hi, Yvonne. G'day, Y way possible. Exactly. But if you're willing to admit it and you're willing to tell us, come on down like Yvonne has.
Hi, Yvonne.
G'day, Yvonne.
Hi.
You're a self-confessed boomer and you own your own home.
Correct.
Nice work, Yvonne.
Tell us, what year was it when you bought your first home?
1992.
And where did you buy it?
In Mount Eden.
Oh, good spot. Good spot, Yvonne it? In Mount Eden. Oh, good spot.
Okay, 1992 in Mount Eden.
Please tell us, how much did you pay?
$150,000.
Was it a one-bedroom apartment, Yvonne?
It was a two-bedroom Art Deco place next to a gas station,
and it's currently worth
$850,000. Yvonne,
I'll give you $150,000 right now on the spot.
Take it,
sold. Dollars, not thousand. Yeah.
Okay, thanks Yvonne. Let's go to Katrina. Hi Katrina.
Yeah, hi, how are you?
Good thanks Katrina. Tell us
what year was it when you bought your first home?
1999.
Okay, and where did you purchase it?
I purchased it in Rotorua for $80,000,
and the section was 932 square metres.
And how much is that sub-$100,000 house worth now?
Oh, new $400,000, a new...
You've done well, Katrina.
You've done bloody well.
Not bad, eh? Not bad at all. Okay, congratulations. We're proud of you. Nice work. You've done well, Katrina. You've done bloody well. Not bad, eh?
Not bad at all.
Okay, congratulations.
We're proud of you.
Yeah, nice work.
Let's get Debbie on.
Hi, Debbie.
G'day, Deb.
I must be the oldest boomer because I bought my first house in 1985.
Yes, this is what we were hoping to get.
This is what we want, Debbie.
This is what we wanted.
This is what we want.
Where did you buy it, Debbie?
It was in Hastings, and it was this little weatherboard place
that was two bedrooms, and it was on a quarter-acre section.
And we then subdivided the section, so we sold off the back section,
which probably was about 600 square metres, let's say.
And we sold that for $15,000.
That was 1990 when we sold that.
You've been ripped off, Debbie, you've been ripped off there.
Bloody hell.
I've just had the privilege of, we're now, we're just, because I quite like property,
and so we've just been looking at the market recently to buy another rental property.
And this, our first home came on the market again, and I went in and looked through it,
and it was exactly how we had left it.
Wait, Debbie, the first home that you ever bought has recently just come back on the
market?
Okay, so what did you pay for it in 85?
What did you pay for it?
We paid $44,000. Okay.
Remember, we then subdivided it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Gotcha.
Gotcha.
So it's like cut in half.
Yeah, at the end of 2020, with half the land,
it's $525,000.
Whoa!
Jeez, I bet you wish you'd held on to both of those sections,
huh, Debbie?
No, no.
Because we've bought and sold property over the years.
It is what it is.
It's wonderful.
Debbie, that is a quintessential boomer statement, by the way.
And thank you so much for living up to the stereotype, Debbie.
We appreciate it.
And we appreciate the call, too.
Have a great afternoon.
That's great.
See you, Deb.
Bye.
I quite enjoy property.
Might buy another.
Anyone for another?
Bree and Clint? Bree and Clint
Bree and Clint
Bree and Clint
We're live in Christchurch's Cathedral Square right now
On the hot tub time machine tour
Getting in the hot tub in like 10 minutes
I don't know if it's because I turned 34 on the weekend
But I really need a hot tub
I've got a really sore back
Do you?
Yeah, I've got the aches
You know what makes me really sore these days?
What? Just sleeping Living? Yeah I I've got the aches. You know what makes me really sore these days? What? Just
sleeping. Living? Yeah.
I wake up from sleep and I'm like, oh, I'm a bit
sore. I saw a good thing the other day that said you know
you're over 30 when your back
hurts just because. Yep. You didn't do anything.
There's no thing that you did to it.
You just have an ache. Yeah.
I know what you did over the weekend. You hired
a camper van and went on a romantic
road trip with your partner,
didn't you?
I did.
God,
you're doing back-to-back road trips.
Yeah,
I'm doing lots of road trips lately,
just getting out
and seeing beautiful New Zealand.
Yeah.
It's a good opportunity to do it.
It looked epic.
You were in a converted ambulance,
weren't you?
Yeah,
so it used to be
an old ambulance
and then they converted it
into this amazing camper van.
It was very cool.
I have a list here
and I'm keen to know
if this happened to you. A list of
the weirdest things found inside
camper vans that people returned.
So either you might have found these in the camper van
you had on the weekend or you're
returning it with some of these inside it.
This is from a company
called Motorhome Republic.
They actually do camper vans in New Zealand.
Oh, cool. So some of these things have happened
right here. First thing, weirdest things
found in a camper van, a full set of
deer antlers. There was
actually a stuffed deer
toy head in the van.
I'm going to say that's a yes.
Okay, deer antlers, not as weird as it seems.
30 stolen credit
cards.
I can't say I saw any credit cards
apart from our own.
Although you've got all those expired Prezi cards
in your wallet. I do. From all that under the table
work you were doing. Oh, shut up.
The Prezi cards. Shut up.
I'm doing my tax
at the moment. You'll get me in trouble.
You'll get me in trouble.
Weird things found in returned camper vans.
Someone's wedding dress.
A wedding dress? Like a full wedding dress,
which I'm kind of pro
because everyone's like,
God, I keep the wedding dress.
You're never going to wear it again.
You will never wear it again.
It's going to take up room in your wardrobe.
Then one day you'll take it out
and you'll be upset
because A, it's mouldy
or B, it doesn't fit anymore
and that's going to really upset you.
See, no one wants that.
So I say leave it in a camper van.
Do that.
Weird things found in a camper van.
Did you find a prosthetic leg?
No.
I think I would remember if I found someone's leg.
That's one of the ones where you go, how did you forget this?
Yeah, that's a hard one to forget.
Excuse the pun.
Hopping out of the camper van and you go, okay, keys, wallet, watch, phone,
spare leg.
What am I missing?
What am I missing?
There's something.
No, good to go.
Weird things found in returned camper vans.
A pair of undies.
Did you find a pair of used undies in the camper van?
I mean, you know, you always find used undies in and around camper vans, don't you?
I agree.
I think that one's fairly common.
The weird one about this one that's been published on this list is the owner rang and said that
the undies have sentimental value
and they would like the undies couriered back to them.
How would they have sentimental value?
If anyone ever found my used undies, I would distance myself as far as possible from them.
I would never go, hey, sir, we found some undies in the camper van.
They'd go, not mine.
That's why I never write my name in my underwear.
Not mine.
No, it must have been someone else's. Sorry. No, not mine. But it's got your name stitched. go, not mine. That's why I never write my name in my underwear. Not mine. No, there must have been someone else's.
Sorry.
No, not mine.
But it's got your name stitched.
No, not mine.
No, that's a different Clint Roberts.
The last thing found in campervans that have been returned,
a full freezer of frozen breast milk.
Oh, so you need that.
You need that.
You need that.
But also good complimentary item for the next campers.
Yeah, good for you in espresso.
Just a little bit of milk.
Pop it in the frother.
Froth it up.
That tastes good frothy.
All right.
The world's smallest nipples enter the world's hottest hot tub.
Next, Bree and Clint.
Don't talk about my nipples.
Bree and Clint.
We're in Cathedral Square in the hot tub time machine.
We're literally in the hot tub now.
We're in.
You know, Clint, we've done some weird things in our time,
but being semi-naked in the middle of Cathedral Square
in Christchurch, I feel strange.
I've never seen anyone look uncomfortable in a spa pool before.
Oh, no, I'm pretty comfy.
You need to relax, babes.
The temperature's nice, isn't it?
You're not the one with the tiny nipples on show.
That's me, okay?
Can you stop talking about my nipples? No, not the one with the tiny nipples on show. That's me, okay? Can you stop talking about my nipples?
No, not yours.
I'm not putting them on show.
I'm not talking about a woman's nipples on the radio, for the record.
We're in the Degree 43 hot tub, and it is delightful.
Yeah, you can win this for a week if you want it to come to your house.
Just head to our Facebook page.
Yeah.
Sign up.
You know, because we are in the hot tub now,
we're on the hot tub time machine tour,
I thought, what can we do whilst we're in the hot tub now, we're on the hot tub time machine tour, I thought, what can we do
whilst we're in a hot tub
in the middle of public, in the
middle of the city, to make it even weirder?
With a crowd gathering. With a crowd.
And I thought, we could order Uber Eats.
Yes!
To come directly
to the hot tub. Yeah.
Because I don't think anyone's done that before.
No. I think that'd be a world's first.
Yeah.
So what I've done, I've found the semi address, but let's see if the Uber Eats driver.
What are we having?
I don't know.
What does everyone want?
What do we reckon?
Pizza?
Joel, what do you feel like?
Pizza?
Yeah, there's a few nods for pizza.
Joel?
A Zinger burger.
A Zinger burger.
A few Zinger burger orders.
Put me down for a Zinger burger too.
Okay.
Combo, please.
Oh, wait.
The first thing that comes up is KFC.
Yeah.
It's, oh, not anymore.
It used to be across the road.
I know what I'm getting.
I know what I'm getting.
Yeah.
I'm getting a bucket of chicken.
Oh, imagine a bucket of chicken in a hot tub in the middle of the square.
We've got unanimous thumbs up from the crowd that are gathering.
The crowd loves it.
That means people can, you know, share it if we do the right thing.
Your issue's going to be...
What?
That Cathedral Square is kind of large,
but you'd back the Uber Eats driver to pick the only spa pool in the square, right?
Can the...
Yeah, exactly.
I mean, he's not going to get mixed up with other spa pools in the square.
Can the Uber Eats driver... He just goes and drops a bucket of chicken in the nearest puddle, and he's like, well, I mean, he's not going to get mixed up with other spa pools in the square. Can the Uber Eats driver...
He just goes and drops a bucket of chicken in the nearest puddle and he's like, I don't know.
How good is the Uber Eats driver that they can find us here in the square?
Let's figure it out.
Put in the order.
All right.
I'm getting a family feast, guys.
Family feast.
The best thing that could happen would be that it shows up in the middle of Birthday Banger, I think.
That's when I'll be hungry.
Hey, I'm aiming for Birthday Banger.
I reckon we can get it done.
All right, Bree and Clint, back in a moment.
ZM.
Bree and Clint.
Broadcasting live from a hot tub in Cathedral Square in Christchurch.
We've ordered Uber Eats.
No sign yet.
I'm still waiting.
I've got the lookout.
Can the Uber Eats driver find us here in the hot tub?
Do they deliver to just random, like if you're sitting in a field?
I don't know.
Forget the hot tub bit.
Will they come to you?
We're about to figure it out.
Yeah.
I've put in the closest address I can.
For all our field sitting listeners.
Do you think the Uber Eats driver, when he gets here or she gets here,
will be like, this is the weirdest drop off I've done?
Hopefully they'll ask to get in.
Yeah.
Oh, maybe we'll invite them in.
If they get in.
Okay.
I'm not tipping.
What, if they do get in?
Yeah, well, that's their tip.
Okay, fair enough.
That's the deal.
You can get in, but it's going to cost you your $1 tip.
Sounds good.
Wanted to talk about Adele because she has been in the news a lot
in the last couple of months.
Yeah.
And it's been obviously over the divorce that's been going on
for a couple of years with her husband.
They've got a son together.
It's been quite messy from all the media reports.
It's dragged on.
There's so much at stake.
She's worth close to $200 million.
It's a lot of money.
And there was no prenup.
Yeah, I know.
They got together before she was worth that much money, and they just went,
oh, yeah, we'll be fine.
She was still worth a bit of money when they got together.
Yeah, but not enough to go, oh, I need to protect some of. She was still worth a bit of money when they got together.
Yeah, but not enough to go, oh, I need to protect some of us.
Yeah.
So no prenup.
Now they've got to split $200 million.
Anyway, news out today that I think they're finally at the point where they've figured out all that stuff.
But there's one weird thing that he has written into the contract
that he wants from her.
She has to sing at his next wedding.
That'd be a good one, wouldn't it?
You can keep the houses.
But you're singing at my wedding.
But when I get married, you're performing for free.
Yeah, because my family will love that.
No, apparently he has written in that she is not allowed
to write any songs about their relationship.
Oh, no.
No.
Which is pretty much cutting her off at the ankles.
He's limiting her future income.
Yeah.
That's the album that we're all waiting for.
That's the only album that anyone wants from Adele.
She has an album on the way.
And let's be real, she's probably written it already
because she's been getting divorced for two years.
That's when you write the good shit,
when you're really depressed and sad and lonely
and eating ice cream from the tub. That's when you write the good shit. When you're really depressed and sad and lonely and eating ice cream from the tub.
That's when she writes her best stuff.
But we're not going to get to hear it because apparently he has said,
that's my condition if you want this all to go through because I want you to respect what we had.
Nah, Bol.
Nah. Well, in fairness to her,
he knew who
she was when he got together with her.
Yeah, it's like anyone who gets angry at Taylor Swift
for putting them in her music.
Like, if you don't want those kind of songs
written about you. If you can't
stand the heat, stay out of
Adele's Kitchen.
So,
yeah, no songs are like rolling in the deep.
There's an easy way around this.
She just makes up a fake name and at the end of every song she goes,
that was about Richard.
She's like, yeah, showed him.
Showed him.
I showed him.
We wanted to do a weird thing this afternoon where I wonder if anyone
has had this happen to them where they've had a song written about them from an ex or whoever.
Or have you written a song about an ex or someone?
I'm definitely more interested in people who have had songs written about them.
Why?
You don't want to hear from the people?
No, I don't care if you wrote a song.
I mean, we'll take the call.
Yes, please.
We'll take it.
I'll take that back.
We'll take it.
But I want to know what it feels like to hear a song and go,
wow, this is about me.
And you're like, this is so accurate.
Or you're like, no, that never happened.
That thing never happened.
Yeah.
We want you to rate the song that's written about you.
Don't think that you have to be an ex of Brooke Fraser's,
by the way, to contribute to this.
Like your partner could just be someone who plays music.
Stan Walker. We'll take Stan Walker as well. If you had a song written about you, what did that feel like? by the way, to contribute to this. Like, your partner could just be someone who plays music in your bedroom.
Stan Walker.
We'll take Stan Walker as well.
If you had a song written about you, what would that feel like?
Yeah, what does it feel like?
After a breakup, right?
After a breakup.
Not a love song.
Not a love song.
A breakup song.
And it's about you.
0800-DIAL-ZM.
We want to hear from you next.
You can text 9696 as well.
Adele has come out and said, well, she hasn't, We want to hear from you next. You can text 9696 as well. Bree and Clint.
Adele has come out and said, well, she hasn't,
but news on Adele's divorce is that her ex-husband wants there to never be any songs sung about their relationship.
What a ball breaker.
I mean, what a, you know, come on, party pooper.
It would be the ultimate honour to have a breakup song
written about you by Adele.
You know?
He said he doesn't want...
Imagine if Rolling in the Deep was about you.
Whenever it came on, you're like, that's about me.
Yeah, I mean, it would be a pretty big claim to fame, wouldn't it?
Totally.
But he said he doesn't want what they had put everywhere for everyone else.
He wants it to be kept sacred.
Because they have a son.
That's what he said.
You have very little control over the behaviour of an ex after you break up.
They're like, well, you're not the boss of me anymore.
So that's why he's getting it written into the breakup agreement.
But we wanted to know this afternoon,
have you ever had a breakup song written about you?
Yeah.
Has it happened to you before?
Tessa's called up.
I know 800 dials at him.
Hi, Tessa.
Hi, Tessa.
Hi.
Has this happened to you?
Yeah.
I've had songs written about me, and I've also written songs about people.
Oh, wait, you've written...
Replies.
This is like, what was that guy's name?
Eamon.
Eamon.
And Frankie.
If you write back.
Yeah.
Okay, okay.
Your partner who wrote the songs about you, are they famous?
Would we have heard of them?
No, they're not famous. No. Okay. What's the title of one of the songs the songs about you, are they famous? Would we have heard of them? No, they're not famous.
No.
Okay, what's the title of one of the songs that's about you?
I'm not saying that.
Oh, no.
It's not good.
If they're not famous, it doesn't matter.
What's the theme?
What's the theme of the song?
Some of them are like, I miss you so much,
and some of them are like, I hate you so much.
One of them is called The Rebound,
and it's about rebounding after me.
Oh no,
Tessa. How was that to listen to?
It was like
feeling guilty for rebounding, so
it made me feel pretty good.
Oh, right.
And what was the song
you wrote about them?
I mean, I've written tons of songs because I'm a songwriter.
But so, yeah, tons.
But I actually had the same thing happen to me that a Jawa who was breaking up with someone.
And I'm like, please don't write songs about me.
And I was like, no.
That's not part of the deal.
That's the only reason that musicians get into relationships.
Yeah.
So that they can break up and then write.
That's my intellectual property.
That's how Dane Rumble wrote his greatest song ever,
Cruel, you know, without that breakup
we never would have got that masterpiece.
We wouldn't have had it.
Thank you, Tessa.
Let's go to Ella.
Hi, Ella.
Hi.
Ella, who wrote a song about you?
My ex-boyfriend wrote a song about me
after I broke up with him.
He got into kind of like SoundCloud music and wrote a song about me after I broke up with him. He got into kind of like SoundCloud music.
Oh, no.
SoundCloud.
How did you find out about it, Ella?
I actually had heaps of mutual friends message me
and tell me that he'd written a song and ask if it was about me.
Right.
Is it a good song?
Can you listen to it objectively and go, oh, yeah, it's pretty good?
No, he actually wrote it about how I was a psycho and a bad girlfriend
and said that's why he broke up with me.
Please tell me you wrote a diss track back to him.
Do you know what?
I filmed a video of myself and I sent it back to him.
So I kind of did, yeah.
That's the worst thing you can do because if he's a SoundCloud rapper,
he'll just sample that and put it into his next song.
You know what?
I keep tabs on his SoundCloud and I think he's moved on from me now,
which is good because I found it really embarrassing.
Well, if you know he starts uploading again, then that's not the case.
How many streams did his breakup song about you get?
Do you know what?
I listened to it once and then I tried to just block it from my memory.
What's the name of it?
I might give it a listen.
Sounds all right.
I honestly can't remember.
I honestly can't remember.
We'll see if Music Man Harry's keen to get it playing on ZM.
There you go.
Oh, please don't.
Just kidding, Ella.
Thank you.
No, we're just joking.
We're live from the Hot Tub Time Machine in Cathedral Square in Christchurch at the moment.
Our numbers are growing.
Yeah, we've got some guests who have joined us in the Hot Tub.
Jayden and Maddie, thanks for coming.
Hi, thanks for having us.
They just happen to be strolling through Cathedral Square in their togs already.
Coincidence, I think not.
Just every time I come to Christchurch, I take a photo in their togs already. Coincidence, I think not. Just every time I come to Auckland, I'm in Christchurch.
I take a photo in front of the cathedral, so I just had to do it
and heard you guys on the radio, so I had to swing by.
Is this the weirdest thing you've done this week?
Definitely.
Best bit was when Jaden got here and he goes,
how did you guys get here?
Did you travel in the time machine?
Wait, wait, no, that doesn't work.
That doesn't work.
Did you travel back in?
No, no.
Wait. Wait a minute. Let, that doesn't work. That doesn't work. Did you travel, Becky? No, no. Wait.
Wait a minute.
All right, let's do birthday banger.
Hey, it's my birthday.
It's my birthday.
Free and clean.
Birthday banger.
All right, birthday banger for your Tuesday.
We'll take your birthdays and we'll figure out what was number one on your 16th.
Let's kick it off with Maria.
Hello, mate.
Hi.
How are you?
I'm good. Thank you. How are you? I'm good, thank you.
How are you?
Are you in Christchurch?
You want to come down for a hot tub, for a dip?
I am not.
I'm in Auckland.
Oh, well, next time when we're in Auckland, perhaps.
What's your birthday, Maria?
19th of May, 1983.
All right.
You were 16 in 1999 On the 19th of May
And the number one song on that day was this
This is the third time in like six birthday bangers at TLC's come up
It's come up a lot, hasn't it?
Yeah
And I'm not mad about it, it's a great track
What do you think, Maria?
Yeah, it's alright It's not bad, not bad hasn't it? Yeah. And I'm not mad about it. It's a great track. What do you think, Maria? Yeah, it's all right.
It's not bad.
Not bad.
Okay, let's get one more on.
Let's get Hannah on.
Hi, Hannah.
It's actually Ollie.
Hannah's driving at the moment, so I just thought...
Oh, okay.
She's super keen to get on for birthday, Bea.
Ollie, do you know Hannah's birthday?
That's going to be the key detail.
Yes, I do.
That's the...
Perfect.
All right, Ollie.
What is... 10th of September.
Alright, that means she was
16 in 2014
on the 10th of September.
And Hannah, I know you're driving,
but this is your birthday banger.
Damn, you sure
Hannah's old enough to drive if this is her birthday
banger?
Can we check the ID?
All about that bass, Meghan Trainor.
Do you like it, Ollie?
Forget Hannah, do you like it?
Yeah.
Yeah, I mean.
My own one was happy, which was, I didn't think it could get worse than that.
I like you, Ollie.
Call back any time.
Isn't it funny how angry the song Happy makes people now?
What's that, Ollie?
Can I take my moment to just say Bleshko?
Bleshko.
Go on, mate.
Give us your bit.
No, come on.
I want a better one than that.
Come on.
Bleshko.
That's more like it, mate.
Appreciate that.
Jane's here for Birthday Banger.
Hi, Jane.
G'day, Jane.
Hey.
What's your birthday, mate?
20th of May, 1985.
All right.
You were 16 in 2001 on the 20th of May.
And in 2001, this reached the top of the charts.
Getting back home where we first met.
I cannot escape and I cannot forget.
Clear winner.
Clear winner.
Atomic kitten hole again.
That's a bit of me.
Do you love it, Jane?
No.
I'm a bit disappointed, to be honest.
What were you hoping for, Jane?
Oh, something better than that.
Pharrell happy.
Okay, Jane, wait there.
We're going to choose between TLC, No Scrubs. Who joined us in the hot tub decides.
Yeah, okay, you guys both get to choose.

We're live from Cathedral Square in the Hot Tub Time Machine.
That's a Degree 43 spa pool connected to our DeLorean.
I mean, it is quite the sight down here in the square.
You know, the hot tub that we're in, it's a marvellous, like, those wooden ones.
It's like you saw on Hot Tub Time Machine, the movie.
It's delightful.
And it's currently on a trailer.
The trailer's got some mags.
The buzziest thing happened when we first got here.
These two dudes rolled up in, like, a brand-new Range Rover,
just drove directly
into Cathedral Square like they owned the place.
I was like, what's going on here? Rolled
down the window and he goes, how much is that?
I'll take two, please. And I looked
at the Degree 43 guys and I was like,
what's going on? Does this happen?
Like, is this a thing? And they said, you'd be
surprised how often this happens.
And I thought, is that what happens when
you're rich? Do you just drive past things
and you go, I like the look of that. I love that.
I like the look of
that house, I'll tell you that. Right.
You know my uncle, I've told you about him before,
he's a multi-millionaire. One day,
this is no BS, he was on the
Gold Coast and him and his wife
saw that there was an auction happening
for this penthouse apartment on the beachfront
and they were like, oh, we'll go for a look.
Anyway, they bought it.
Out of the blue.
That's true story.
Did they have any use for it?
Oh, I don't know.
They might use it every now and then.
That's not the point when you're rich, eh?
No.
It's not about the use.
They don't go, okay, how many times a year can we use it?
They don't think about that.
The guy who drove through the square was like, I hate spa pools,
but I just can't stand the thought of not having one.
We're live in the hot tub Time Machine on tour this week.
We said before that Maddie and Jaden just showed up to the square in their togs.
Yeah, and that was a coincidence that they just showed up in their togs.
They were like, we're at the pool, I called BS.
We just found out during the song that was playing that there's no hot water in Maddie's flat.
So Maddie, you're not here for a spa.
You're here for a wash.
Tell us the truth.
No, we went to the pools and had showers.
You grotty, grotty.
So, you went to the pools just to have a shower, did you?
No, and a swim.
And then you saw the opportunity here in the square.
You saw, ooh, a hot bath.
I haven't had one of those at my flat for a while.
I'm jumping.
How many days, obviously no hot water there.
How many days have you gone without a wash?
Excluding the pools today.
We only moved in yesterday, so.
Right.
I'm here a couple of weeks.
I'm here a couple of weeks.
I just shout my grandparents in the morning.
Yeah, right, okay.
Well, welcome to the hot tub, you know.
We're going to drain and wash it each day.
We're good to go.
And we've got good news for you guys
because people in the hot tub, about 30 minutes ago, I made a purchase online on Uber Eats
and I thought, what do I need here in the hot tub in the square?
And I thought, I need a bucket of chicken.
And we did get delivered that bucket of chicken.
Our Uber Eats driver pulled into the square before he was egged on
by a very excited crowd.
And in your hands right now, a full bag of KFC chicken brie.
That's correct. I'm about to open
it and dish it out to the people.
Be careful. Don't drop any of the chicken
in the hot tub. No one wants wet chicken.
No one wants a wet bird.
Well Maddie doesn't even have power to flat. She'll take what she can get.
We have power. Just not a whole
wave and heat it up. Yeah alright Maddie.
You want some chicken? Yes.
One piece per person Maddie. You keep me a grubby
little paws off this.
Get Maddie to dunk her hands first.
Oh, delicious.
All right.
Yep, cool.
Sorry, I'm just eating.
Are you handing any of that out?
No, this one's for me.
You've got to order your own.
Very glad we're live from Cathedral Square at the moment.
If you want to come down and see the DeLorean or the hot tub or the chicken,
feel free to swing on through.
Here's brand new music from Scissor on ZM.
This is called Good Days.
Bree and Clint.
Who wants some chicken?
Bree and Clint.
Live from Christchurch in Cathedral Square.
The hot tub time machine is on.
Sure, the DeLorean doesn't have a warrant and we have to tow it on a trailer.
But we're here, okay?
We're here, we're making it happen.
Okay, we don't let things like a non-operational vehicle stop us from going on a road trip.
No, we say put it on a trailer and tow it the length of the country.
And lash goal.
And Ross, you can pay for that.
I have become mildly obsessed with something over summer.
And that's something I think is a positive thing. I think it's a good
obsession I've got. That's what every addict says
eh? I think this is a good one.
It's good that you're finally talking about this on air.
I am. My name is Clint. Hi
everybody. My name is Clint and I'm addicted to
waxing your body. We get it.
No. No. We get that.
I'm sitting in a hot tub with you. You can clearly
see I'm not addicted to waxing myself.
Back cracking sack. No. A whole lot. I'm sitting in a hot tub with you. You can clearly see I'm not addicted to waxing myself. Back cracking sack?
No.
A whole lot?
I'm addicted to getting 10,000 steps on my smartwatch.
Should have went with the waxing your body one.
I need that chime that it gives you at the end of the day when it goes,
congratulations, you've reached your target.
Yeah.
And I'm out there pounding the pavement.
I'm walking back and forth around the house.
I just need to get that 10,000 steps.
It's like people who need to close their ring on their smartwatch as well. You know what?
This is why I don't have a smartwatch because I don't want some condescending watch
coming into my life every day and being like, you're lazy.
I'll be like, screw you.
You're a watch.
I carry you around.
You ain't walking.
Whoa.
You feel passionately about this.
It's got me thinking, though, where did 10,000 steps come from?
Research. Why 10,000? Why
is that the number that means you're healthy? Some researchers at Harvard Medical School
have done some investigating and gone, good point, Clint.
Oh, if it's at Harvard, it must be real.
Good point. Do we actually need to do 10,000? Anyone with a Fitbit, a Galaxy Watch, an Apple
Watch, any of those on, listen up right now. The real number of steps that you need to do each day, 7,500.
So why is it less?
Well, that's the thing.
They've shown that doing more steps a day does elongate your life
and help prevent you from dying.
But after 7,500, the benefits are nil.
Right.
You don't get any more benefits for doing more than 7,500.
Well, that's good.
That's good news.
I'm happy with that news.
Even better for women.
Yeah.
If you're a woman out there getting 10,000 steps, calm down.
In fact, sit down right now.
Have a rest.
Take a load off.
I already am.
Because for women, the number of steps you need to do to significantly lower the risk of death.
For women, 4,400.
Oh, that's easy.
Piece of cake.
You guys have got it easy.
Now, how many points do we get on those smart watches for when we lay?
Is there like a number of lays that you can do?
None, none.
But you do need to do 150 minutes of moderate exercise a week.
Does that include sitting?
No, but it does include stepping.
So walking to the vending machine.
Counts.
That's including it
in your 150 minutes.
Walking to the fridge
to get food.
Great.
Walking to the couch.
And to the toilet.
And to the toilet.
All my favourite stuff.
It all counts.
Perfect.
Lock it in.
Hey, good news
for people like me out there.
There you go.
Reduce your steps. You're doing too much. Less it in. Hey, good news for people like me out there. There you go. Reduce your steps.
You're doing too much.
Less is more.
Bree and Clint.
We're live from Christchurch on the Hot Tub Time Machine.
We're in a delightful Degree 43 hot tub right now.
And you can win one of these at your house for a week on our Facebook page.
What are we surrounded by right now, Bree?
Apart from that guy over there.
A couple of guys we don't know.
We are surrounded by water.
We are surrounded by water.
That's what we're surrounded by.
And this afternoon, I would like a chance at redemption.
I would like a chance to redeem myself after something that happened on the show towards
the end of last year.
But I feel like you cheated me.
You didn't give me enough warning to get ready.
I know what you're talking about.
And it's where I asked you to hold your breath for as long as you could. And I enough warning to get ready. I know what you're talking about and it's where I asked you
to hold your breath for as long as you could
and I think you did 15 seconds. No.
I did more than 15 seconds.
It was about 23.
It wasn't much more than that. I got about
a minute. Let's find out. We've got a replay here,
a little highlight. Let's find out what I actually got.
Clint, you are coming up
close to the one minute mark.
That's impressive.
One minute? Yeah, I thought so. the one minute mark. That's impressive. One minute?
Yeah, I thought so.
And one minute now.
I'll be impressed if he goes two minutes.
Anything over two minutes.
Oh, he's out.
I don't have any time to repair.
I'm quite a good swimmer.
I should have been given more chance to repair and do breathing exercises.
Let's call it one minute.
Okay, one minute even.
One minute even. And today, my chance of redemption. If I get anything over one minute, it, one minute even. One minute even.
And today, my chance of redemption.
If I get anything over one minute, it's a victory for me, okay?
All right.
I want you to be a bit more interested.
No, I am.
I want you to be a bit more excited.
I am, but I also don't want you to be disappointed if you don't get it.
I'm going to, because I can't talk underwater,
so I'm going to give co-commentary to Anastasia.
She's also the time lord.
So I'm going to hand over now. Okay.
And everybody in the car, if you can
root me on here and cheer for me.
This is weird, by the way.
Like sitting in a hot tub
with you and you're putting your head under
and I'm... This is so weird.
Let's not think about the symbolism of that at all.
Let's just focus on the job at hand.
Okay, I've got my stopwatch here.
Clinton Roberts. Redemption for focus on the job at hand. I've got my stopwatch here. Clinton Roberts.
Redemption for holding
your breath. Round two.
In three, two,
one, go.
The timer is on.
He has put his face,
just his face, not his ears
because we are...
So would I.
Oh no, no. He can't fully submerge in a hot tub. It is dangerous. So that's why we are yeah so would i um but you know that's oh no no he can't fully submerge in a hot
tub it is dangerous so that's why we are just uh but his face is fully in so this is uh all above
board in terms of the the guidelines for the holding your breath challenge yeah now should
i tell him what his time is or should i just see what he gets i'd like him to just just wait it out
i think i think he should too because i feel like when I tell him how long it is,
that's when it gets into his mind.
Yeah, exactly.
And that's where he goes wrong, you know.
Come on, a bit of crowd support.
Can we get a bit of support?
A bit of crowd support.
There you go.
He can hear the support here at Cathedral Square.
The official Holding Your Breath championship only competitor
is Clinton Roberts.
This is so weird.
There's people who have rocked up who don't know what's happening.
What's my time?
What's my time?
I actually, like, because I was laughing, didn't get a chance to press the time in it.
What are you like? 58 seconds. I actually, like, because I was laughing, didn't get a chance to press the time in it. What did I?
58 seconds.
Oh, there's always tomorrow.
Timaru, I'm coming for you!
