Brie and Clint.
Good afternoon, everybody.
Brie and Clint, welcome to the show.
Happy Monday to all you Aucklanders, and welcome back to the rest of New Zealand.
Yeah.
Oh, you confuse a lot of people with
that. Really? You go, shit, I thought I already
but wait, hang on, isn't it
it's Tuesday. But I know
what you're saying. It was their anniversary
day yesterday in Auckland, rest of New
Zealand, unfortunately we were all here
back at work. But
welcome back to the Aucklanders, hopefully they had a good
day yesterday. And don't worry too much, we did not
try too hard. Hey, that a good day yesterday. And don't worry too much. We did not try too hard.
Hey.
That's actually the truth.
At the moment, we are looking for ZM's giant peach around the country.
We have hidden a giant peach somewhere around New Zealand
and you need to find it to win for yourself broods tickets.
Double passes to their Auckland show and double passes to their Christchurch show.
Okay.
Today, we've been giving out clues for you
as to where the peach is located.
We now have another clue to give out.
Guys, are we giving out the third clue?
Is that what we're doing?
We're giving out clue number three right now?
Producers are giving you the nod.
Third clue is what we're giving out.
Okay, if you've been following this,
this is the third clue to find the peach today.
Soak in the views of Rangitoto while you are here.
Okay?
Soak in the views of Rangitoto while you are here.
Interesting.
Or you could just find James.
Apparently he knows where all the giant peaches are.
That's good.
That's good.
She's on.
She's on.
Full details for this competition if you're chasing the peach.
They are online at ZM Online.
Good luck.
Also, ticket details if you want to be at that broods tour.
You don't want to miss that one.
Don't feed the pop monster.
Next, we want to talk about third nipples.
There's someone who's very famous who's done a brave thing
and come forward and announced,
hey, I've got one.
I've got a spare one.
But we don't want to just talk about that.
We want to talk about what your version of that might be.
Yeah.
What's your quirk?
Yeah.
What's your weird body quirk?
We're going to celebrate our differences next.
We'll talk about ours.
Yeah, we'll tell you what ours is.
It's a safe place.
I wish I had a third nipple.
We'll do it after Ava Max.
You wish you had any nipples.
Yeah.
You're so tiny.
I could split it across the other two and then I'd have two regular sized ones.
After Ava Max, this is Sweet Bit Psycho,
Bree and Clint, ZM.
Oh, she's sweet but a psycho.
Bree and Clint.
You know John Mayer?
You know John Mayer.
Good old John Mayer.
Trust me, the ladies know John Mayer.
John Mayer.
Your body is a wonderland.
Well, he's come out overnight and admitted
his body really is a wonderland.
He's taken to a Facebook Live, and he does this
every now and then. He reveals a very
interesting but headline-grabbing
detail about himself to Facebook Live.
Remember a couple of months ago he revealed
how many people? He had
how many friends he
had? Interactions he had in a
bedroom setting? 500.
500 friends. I tell you what, that's
a big birthday party.
I call BS though. I'm going to be way more than that.
Well, if he's lying, this time he had physical proof
because he showed the camera that he has three body parts
of which people normally only have two body parts.
I have three nipples.
Look, that is a third nipple.
It kind of is.
It is.
It's just a small...
It might be a...
I mean...
I'm telling you what it is.
You're the worst doctor ever.
He showed Andy Cohen and he said,
look, there it is.
That is my very small but very active third nipple.
A nubbin.
And I would like to say to John Mayer,
congratulations.
Well done.
Pretty common.
You know?
Pretty common, actually.
Own it.
Is it really?
Apparently so, yeah.
One of my mates has four.
Four nipples?
She's like a cat.
I was going to say.
Where are they placed?
Are they in a line or are they two-two like a cat?
So directly under.
Directly beneath.
But they don't look like nipples per se.
They're not fully formed, but that's what they are.
If you had four, would you get all four pierced?
No.
No.
Like if she's having quintuplets, quintuplets.
Yeah.
Like she can't breastfeed all four at the same time.
No, and nor would she want to.
But I just mean from a jewellery point of view.
Or, okay, if it's taboo to show those at the beach still,
do you have to wear two bikini tops if you've got four of them?
Nah, they're not that formed.
We thought this afternoon we could celebrate everybody's thing.
You know, have you got a thing?
What's your weird body quirk?
Yeah, have you got a bit of, some would call it an abnormality,
maybe you call it your special superpower or something like that.
Something unusual that's on your body.
I don't have something per se. I'm missing something.
And what I'm missing is
surface area around my nipples.
Clint has no areolas.
Oh, yeah.
Okay. Which is the...
What's the three-dimensional bit and what's
the surface area? Trust me, you're
missing the areola. You've got the
nipple, no areola.
Should I say areola again?
Belle from the day show is looking at me.
Did you not know that about me?
Belle wants to see.
No.
Oh, no, no, no, no.
Are we not showing?
Are we showing?
I feel like we're sharing today.
Yeah, all right.
Are you ready, Belle?
Ready?
This is just for you.
Three, two, one.
She's not impressed.
Yeah, she's like, eh, 50-50.
There you go.
And can I say congratulations, me, singers.
Good for you, mate.
Thank you.
I've got a few weird things.
What's your thing?
Here we go.
Well, okay, I'm going to give you two options
and then you can tell me which one you'd like to see.
Yes, please.
So my first is my second...
I've got a really weird second toe on my right foot. which one you'd like to see. Yes, please. So my first is my second.
I've got a really weird second toe on my right foot.
Okay.
I call it or it has been called the ET toe.
So by second toe you mean next to the big toe?
Yes.
Is that the way we're counting?
Yes.
It looks like ET's finger.
So the big piggy went to market.
You're talking about the piggy who went home.
Yeah.
Okay.
And not the one who had roast beef. This piggy looked like it went out all night and had a rough
night. So that's first option. What's the second option? I have very minimal cartilage
in my nose. Oh, and that means it does what? I can turn it inside out. I can essentially
pull it flat on my face.
I want the nose.
You want the nose?
I want the nose.
And I promise if you're listening to this,
I'll be as descriptive as possible, okay?
And we are filming this for our Facebook page.
Right, are you ready?
Does it affect your nose piercing?
Because you've got a nose piercing in your right nostril.
No, because that's in the skin part.
The cartilage is like around here.
Okay.
Okay, are you ready?
Yeah, I'm ready.
Three, two, one.
Is that weird?
Like I got no cartilage in the front part.
The point of the nose disappears.
Yeah.
Completely disappears. Like you've taken the pole out of a tent
and it's just gone completely flat.
Yeah, it deflates.
0800 Dial ZM.
What's your thing?
What is your, like, is it a party trick?
Were you born with it?
Did it happen to you later in life?
What do you got?
What's your thing that makes people go?
Maybe you've got a birthmark in the shape of, like, a president or something.
Yeah, maybe you have a Donald Trump-shaped birthmark.
That's impressive.
What about, like, an extra toe?
An extra toe?
I'd love to hear from those people.
Oh, a bonus one.
Yeah, a bonus toe.
Yes, please.
Oh, Andrew Diles at him.
The best one is going to score for themselves free mobile fuel this afternoon.
Boob, let's celebrate it this afternoon.
Let's be proud of it.
Be proud.
Stand up, New Zealand.
Let's do it.
Let's go.
Bray and Clint.
John Mayer.
You know John Mayer.
He's admitted that he's got three nipples.
I have three nipples.
Look, that is a third nipple.
It kind of is.
It is.
It's just a small...
I mean...
I'm telling you what it is.
You're the worst doctor ever.
Trust me, don't watch.
He goes on to rub it and stroke it and stuff.
He's like, trust me, it's a...
It gets a bit intimate.
Remember on Friends when Chandler finds out he has a third nipple
and then he gets it removed?
Well, he's always had it.
Yeah.
But then he decides he wants to get rid of it.
They call it a nubbin.
And then they realise it was the source of his...
His funniness.
I reckon that was the reason he was funny.
Yeah.
It was the source of his superpowers.
We've got mobile fuel to give away this afternoon.
If you want to tell us what your thing is.
We've shared our weird things.
Yeah.
Mine's nipple-based and yours is nose-based. Yep. You've got no areolas. And you've to tell us what your thing is. We've shared our weird things. Yeah, mine's nipple based and yours is nose based.
You've got no areolas. And you've
basically got no nose bone.
It's weird. Let's find out
what the rest of the country has. Hi
Ella. Hi Ellie. Hi.
What's your weird
thing on your body Ellie?
So basically, you know how you've got your
normal set of teeth? Yes.
I have a set of things on the top and a set of fangs on the bottom,
like on top of and underneath the normal set of teeth.
Wait, is this like the condition where they say it's like shark?
Like because sharks have multiple rows of teeth?
Could quite possibly.
Do they call you Shark Girl?
No.
No, neither will we.
Neither will we. That's cool though. Bonus teeth. Okay, well, congratulations. Well No. No, neither will we. Neither will we.
That's cool, though.
Bonus teeth.
Okay, well, congratulations.
Well done, and thank you for sharing.
Tanya, hi.
Oh, hang on a second, Tanya.
Wait there.
Sharon, hi.
Hello.
Hi.
What's your thing on your body that you want to share?
So I have four nipples,
and how I found out was because I thought they were skin tags.
But when I had my first child, I found out that they were nipples.
And how?
Because I was leaking milk through them.
No!
Sharon, well done.
No, no, no.
Sharon, congratulations.
That's amazing.
Yeah, I had no idea what they were.
I thought they were just skin tags.
And then, yeah, when I had my first kid, I found out that they were nipples.
Because, Sharon, my friend who has four nipples, they look like skin tags as well.
Could you actually feed from them?
No, no.
No, but they did leak.
And it was pretty awkward.
Yeah, well, okay, congratulations.
Well done.
That is a serious contender.
Hi, Stacey.
Hi, Stace.
Hi, guys.
What's the thing on your body you want to share with us?
Okay, so I have two extra fingers.
Whoa.
I was born with them.
And then they were amputated when I was like a year old.
One per hand or seven on one hand, five on each hand?
No, so six.
No, yeah, one per hand.
One per hand.
It was like an extra pinky, but like without a bone.
Right, so they were connected to your pinky, but no bone.
Yeah.
Oh, interesting.
And so they were removed when you were very young.
Do you miss them?
Yeah.
You do?
Yeah.
If you had been given the choice, would you have kept them or would you?
Yeah, well, my parents didn't even take that many photos of them when I was a baby.
So, like, I can't even show people photos.
Yeah, I'd be a little bit gutted.
Yeah.
And, well, my cousin had extra toes with bones in them, which was a bit weird.
That's interesting.
A girl I went to boarding school with had an extra toe.
Yeah, you guys.
Yeah, they couldn't cut it off because it had a bone in it.
Yeah.
You've got to look at, like, the water source where you guys are
or if you're living under a pylon or something like that.
Oh, yeah, I know.
And my dad has extra fingers too, so.
Oh, runs in the family then.
Bit of a weird family, eh?
Yeah.
No regulatory.
Weird but cool.
Like we were saying, congratulations.
Yeah, thank you.
You're a contender.
You could be a superhero.
She could be a superhero.
What would her superhero name be? I don't know. Finger girl. Congratulations. Yeah, thank you. You're a contender. You could be a superhero. She could be a superhero. What would her superhero name be?
I don't know.
Finger girl.
No.
Veronica.
Hey, Veronica.
Hi.
What's your thing?
It's actually my identical twin sister.
She had an extra little toe on her foot.
But you didn't?
No, and I have all 10 of mine.
Not your identical twin sister.
Yeah.
If you don't have a bonus toe
You guys are not identical twins
Did you feel left out?
Yeah, a little bit
Okay, congratulations
Although it's not really you, it's her
Congratulations to her
And last one, we're going to give the mobile fuel to our favourite
Tanya, hi Tanya
Hi
What's your interesting thing on your body, Tanya? I've
got five toes. All together. In total? Yeah. Wait. So how many on one foot and how many
on the other foot? I've got two on one foot and three on the other. Which two? What do
you mean? Do you have the big one? I the big toe and the... Oh, I have a big toe and I suppose you could call it a little toe.
It kind of looks like a drumstick.
So the fat end of the drumstick would be my heel
and the top of the drumstick would be the top of my foot.
Yeah, there you go.
And you were born like that?
Yeah.
And then so you'd naturally just be able to walk like that then?
Yeah, yes.
Yes, yeah.
Tanya, can you wear jandals?
No, that's the party trick.
How would you wing?
Oh, it is because I can't wear jandals in the summer.
I have to wear sneakers all year round.
You know what you could wear, Tanya?
Yeah.
Pardon?
You could wear a Birkenstock.
Yeah, have you investigated a Birkenstock?
I don't even know what that is.
We should get Tanya a pair of Birkenstocks. They're the world's ugliest sandals. They're fantastic. Yeah, have you investigated a Birkenstock? I don't even know what that is. We should get Tanya a pair of
Birkenstocks. They're the world's ugliest sandals.
They're fantastic.
I have some, can I say, and I like
them. Clint also owns them. I have some too, but I'm
under no illusions. Can we get Tanya some
Birkenstocks? It'll change your life. Tanya,
you wait there. We're either getting you Birkenstocks
or some mobile fuel, okay?
Alright then. You're our winner. Congratulations.
That's great.
Love it.
I can't believe you can get milk from a fourth nipple.
Yeah, you can.
He's live on the ground in LA.
Fastest lips in the West.
Dean McCarthy.
Hello, sir.
G'day, guys.
It's your favourite spy on the ground.
I'm literally the red carpet of the What Men Want world premiere.
I'm excited.
Yeah.
Have you seen anybody super famous yet?
No, not yet.
Taraj Henson is starring in the film.
Tracy Morgan, that hot guy from Twilight, what's his name?
One of the hot Twilight guys.
Yeah, it's going to be...
One of the hot Twilight guys.
What was his name?
Taylor Lautner.
Taylor Lautner. Taylor Lautner.
Is it Taylor Lautner?
No, the other one.
Oh, Edward Cullen.
That's the character's name.
What's his real name?
I can't even remember either.
I can't even remember either.
That's okay.
That's okay.
Rob Pattinson.
The other one.
There's another one.
It's not him.
It's none of them.
It's one of the hot guys from Twilight.
That's fine.
Hey, Dean, I want to hear about the Kiwi artist that's got a tattoo
on her face.
This is,
speaking of Twilight,
remember the Twilight tattoos?
We thought they were
the worst things in the world.
Well, Kelsey Carter,
who is,
I thought she was Aussie.
Well, there's a report
even she's Aussie.
The singer has got a tattoo
of Harry Styles' face
on her cheek.
It's the size of her cheek.
It looks so red raw
and it is by far
the most offensive tattoo
I've ever seen in my life.
Have you seen this?
No, I haven't seen it yet.
It's crazy.
If this is one of those
classic we're arguing over
whether she's Kiwi or Australian,
we might be able to let
the Aussies have this one.
They can have her actually.
No, all good.
Dean, we're good.
The Kiwis can have it.
I've just seen the picture, Dean.
It's been put in front of me.
Holy wow.
So she's gone with very young Harry Styles, like X Factor age Harry Styles. The Kiwis can have it. I've just seen the picture, Dean. It's been put in front of me. Holy wow.
So she's gone with very young Harry Styles, like X Factor age Harry Styles.
And it is her whole cheek from her jaw all the way up to the top of her cheekbone.
That is incredible.
What is she doing? Cringe.
Honestly.
Do we know if Harry Styles has seen it yet?
Has he commented on it?
No comment from him yet.
Isn't that the best?
She probably did it to get his attention.
He's like, yeah, doesn't care. It's typically the care. He just likes the photo on Instagram. That's it.
Hey, Dean, what's going on with the latest with Meghan Markle and her crazy family?
You know, I feel so sorry for Meghan Markle. Her punishing sister, her name's Samantha Markle.
In fact, her name wasn't even Markle. She changed her name to Samantha Markle. It was like
Samantha, Samantha or something. She's releasing two books
the day of the birth
of the baby.
One of the books
is called Are You Sitting?
In the Shadows of a Duchess.
It literally sounds like
a dramatic pop series
or something from the 80s.
In the Shadows of a Duchess,
this awful sister
just not going anywhere
and giving poor Megan
just so many headaches.
Have you heard
the conspiracy theory, Dean,
that Megan is not actually pregnant,
that they've got a surrogate carrying the baby,
and if you look at enough paparazzi photos,
her baby bump moves up and down her body day to day?
No, I honestly have not seen that.
But whoever's looking that up,
it's a little bit too much spare time, I think.
Yeah, yeah.
I mean, it's out there.
If you're into that kind of thing.
It was Clint.
Clint was doing it.
Yeah, between that and Flat Earth videos,
that's how I spent my long weekend.
Okay, Dean, hey, thank you so much, mate.
You enjoy that red carpet premiere of What Men Want.
We want to hear what it's all about tomorrow, okay?
I will, absolutely.
Bye, guys.
Bye, Dean.
That is our Hollywood correspondent,
Dean McCarthy, live from Hollywood.
Free and Clint.
Let's give away some cash, shall we?
Free and Clint. Let's give away some cash, shall we? Free and Clint.
Beat the bull.
Right now at Lone Star, you can win a trip for two to Nashville
and Cabo St. Lucas thanks to Lone Star and Corona.
Just scan your Lone Star loyal app with any purchase
until the end of February and you're in the draw.
Plus, to celebrate, we're giving away cash.
Yeah, this is awesome.
Brand new radio game where pretty much you just have to
hang on as long as you can and you
win the cash. The longer you're on there, the more
money you're going to win, okay, Megan?
Yes. Just be aware that at some stage
you will get kicked off and if you don't say
stop before you're kicked off the bull,
then you don't win any money. Got it.
Alright, so how greedy are you going to be,
Megan? Are you ready to go?
I'm good. Ready to go.
Good luck.
Make sure you yell out stop.
Let's ride that bull.
Three, two, one.
40.
Kenny, hold on.
55.
110.
Oh, good.
160.
You can do it. 225. Stop, good. 160. You can do it!
225.
Stop.
Yeah!
Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop.
Excellent, Megan.
You got some cash.
$225.
Well done.
Nice work.
Thank you.
Do you want to find out how much you would have won if you'd held on a bit longer?
I don't know.
Do I?
I don't know if you do, but we do. Let's check it. Okay, this is what you could have won if you'd held on a bit longer? I don't know do I? I don't know if you do but we do.
Okay this is what this is what you could have been in for. 225. 255.
290. 400. 405. Oh, man.
Oh, no.
430.
450.
No.
That is one angry bull.
500. 500.
There you go.
You missed out on maybe $275.
I think you did really well, Megan.
Yeah, it doesn't matter.
It's still $225 more than I had this morning, so I'm happy.
That is exactly what it is.
What are you going to spend your money on?
I'm not sure yet.
Whatever.
Don't spend it on a bill.
Spend it on something on yourself, Megan.
Yeah, I don't do that very often.
Yeah, there you go.
All right, well done.
We're going to play Beat the Bull thanks to Lone Star all this week.
So if you need some cash, just make sure you try and get through on 0800DIALZM.
Bree and Clint.
Two idiots.
One dream.
To form a festival-ready DJ duo.
The Hot Mess Express.
Woo!
We've given ourselves just four weeks to build from scratch a DJ duo that can perform at ZM's Float,
thanks to Tip Top Trumpet.
I don't want to scare you.
I don't want to freak you out.
We have 18 days to go.
Okay, well, you've done that now.
18 days is nothing.
I brought in my turntables today so that you could have a little practice.
Well, I need to really get on those at some point.
Well, if you want to do any of the DJing, then yes
you do. No, I want to. I'm happy to do it all.
I'm happy to do it all. No, I want to commit, mate.
I'm 100% in.
You don't want to sleep on it and maybe just... Nah, I'm in.
Okay. We have a name.
We are the Hot Mess Express.
It beat out Brexclit in a
very, very tight battle.
It came down to... Very tight. We got maybe 10,000, very tight battle. It came down to a... Very tight.
We got maybe 10,000 votes on this one,
and it came down to a couple of hundred votes.
That was it.
Crazy.
But we are now the Hot Mess Express.
We've got the name down, Pat.
That's great.
Yeah, we've got a cool DJ photo, which is up on our Instagram.
That's important, too.
You've got to have cool DJ poses with sunglasses on.
We've got that.
Producer Ellie's making some cool artwork as we speak.
We also are going to start picking songs later in the show.
Yeah, what music do we include?
Because that's kind of important.
Today, though, what we want is outfits.
What are we going to wear on stage?
What's our cool look?
You know how all the best acts, you know what they're going to wear.
Marshmallow, he's got that helmet.
Deadmau5.
Deadmau5, he's got that helmet.
A lot of them have helmets.
Do we need helmets?
Skrillex has his hair.
That is totally an option, that we wear helmets.
Then we've hidden our face.
Then we could get better DJs to go off and DJ for us.
That's a really good idea.
Let's get, like, the Stig.
You know the helmet that the Stig wore?
We could do it in motorbike helmets.
I like that.
That's a good idea.
Although I will tell you, it is quite hard to DJ when you can't see.
I'll just tell you that bit.
And I feel like I need to probably help myself and not hinder my DJing.
Anything that affects your hands or your vision
is generally a no-no,
but it doesn't mean we can't do it, all right?
I want you to dream big right now in New Zealand.
What should our outfit be?
Anything and everything is possible.
We can get these outfits made.
What's a good costume for you and me to wear? Have you got
any ideas? I mean, there's the obvious
one, which we've talked about already.
What's that? Because we're the Hot Mess
Express, it's the train driver outfit.
Yeah, train driver outfit does it in
keep with the name quite well. Which is
kind of cool. We have been talking a bit
about that. I don't want to limit us to that, though,
in case there's a bigger and better idea out there.
Let's put it on the maybe pile.
Put it on the maybe.
I've got a few more ideas.
Yeah, hit me with them.
What about a full camo tracksuit?
Yeah, but then people won't be able to see us.
They'll be like, whoa, invisible DJs.
Maybe that's quite cool.
Floating heads.
Floating heads, yeah.
That's kind of cool.
Yeah, I don't mind that.
What about you?
You got any ideas?
Have you seen Firefest documentary?
Yes
What if we go as
Ja Rule
And that guy that got all the Evian water released
Shocker not being that guy
You want to be Ja Rule?
Yeah, I'll be Ja Rule
Okay, look at me
No black face
No, of course not
I'll just wear that weird like bandana thing
That he used to wear
Are there better ideas out there?
If you have the best idea for an outfit for us,
you can win for yourself a double pass to float.
We're going to spend a couple of days figuring this out,
but we need suggestions right now.
If you say it first, you have claim to it,
and you're the person who'll get the tickets
if we choose that as our outfit.
0800 dial ZM or text to 9696.
What should the costume be for the Hot Mess Express?
No idea is a bad idea.
No idea is a bad idea?
No idea is a bad idea.
No idea is a bad idea.
Let us know what you got.
Oh, the texts are coming through thick and fast.
Brie and Clint.
Two idiots.
One dream.
To form a festival-ready DJ duo.
The Hot Mess Express.
Woo!
That's us, that's our dream.
In 18 days we will be performing live at ZM's Float Festival.
Thanks to Tip Top Trumpet.
Just you and me on stage with 5,000 wet people in front of us.
Have we bitten off more than we can chew?
We'll find out, I guess.
We've got a name.
We are the Hot Mess Express.
We need an outfit. We need a costume idea for what we can chew? We'll find out, I guess. We've got a name. We are the Hot Mess Express. We need an outfit.
We need a costume idea for what we can go on stage with.
It's all about the stage presence,
and I feel like a good costume can really get you there.
Good costume gives you confidence.
Yes.
Good costume gives the crowd something to hang their expectations off.
It's actually critical.
Along with the name, it's highly crucial what we wear.
Yep.
So we're going to you, New Zealand, to ask,
what can we wear when we go on stage?
Let's get some suggestions from Kirsty.
Hey, Kirsty.
Hey, guys. How are you?
Good, thank you.
What do you reckon, Kirsty?
So I reckon that track suits are way too hot
for the weather that we've got at the moment.
So I reckon you guys should get, you know,
selfie bathing suits.
So, you know, like a bathing suit,
but with selfies of yourself all over it. Okay. And then you can wear, like, you know, your a bathing suit, but with selfies of yourself all over it.
And then you can wear, like, you know,
your, what's it called, like, swimming cap.
And if you really want to top it off,
you can even wear floppy flippers as well.
Floppy flippers as well.
Would you wear goggles?
Oh, hey, chuck those in there as well.
Earplugs? Nose plugs?
It's float.
Why not?
It is float.
It is very water themed.
We can have floaties on each arm.
There's so much you can do with that, Kirstie.
I've got to tell you.
You've got to have the selfie.
You've got to have the selfie baby soap.
Yeah.
Because you've got to follow the tradition of the air freshener that you guys got for Christmas.
Yeah, I see what you're saying.
I do have to say though, Kirstie, 18 days is not a lot of time to get into a bathing suit shape to go on stage.
I'm definitely not bathing suit ready.
Hey, hey, if I can attempt to try and pull off one,
I'm sure you guys will be fine as well.
That is the right attitude.
Everyone's going to be in a bathing suit.
If you have a body, you have a beach body.
That's the motto, right?
Yeah, girl.
Let's go to Michael.
Hey, Michael.
Hi, Michael.
How you doing?
What do we need to wear on stage at Float?
A kangaroo and a kiwi outfit.
I like what you've done there.
See, I like that.
Yeah.
It combines the two nations. You could keep stuff in your pouch. Ooh. I could crossfade with my a kiwi outfit. I like what you've done there. See, I like that. Yeah. It combines the two nations.
You could keep stuff in your pouch.
Ooh.
I could crossfade with my big kiwi beak.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, good on you, Michael.
I like that suggestion.
That's good.
What's coming through on the text machine?
What are the best ideas there so far?
There's a lot of one particular thing.
A lot of people saying the mankini,
which wouldn't really work for me.
I mean, you could rock the mankini. The Borat one. Are we still doing a saying the mankini, which wouldn't really work for me. I mean, you could rock
the mankini. The Borat one. Are we
still doing a Borat mankini? Apparently, people
are still loving it. No, no, veto.
People are saying excessively over-the-top
activewear. Oh, yeah. Which I
don't mind that. Yeah, I quite like that. Kind of like
Olivia Newton-John physical, you know,
that style. What about blow-up
T-Rex costumes? Oh, the one that runs
around with the giant head and the tiny little arms.
Love it.
Again, I'll just tell you, it's very hard to DJ with T-Rex arms.
Yeah.
It's mostly finger-based, a DJing job, and it's very hard to get down to the faders.
Yeah, probably not a good idea.
Yeah.
Someone's saying, I should wear a pilot uniform and you wear an air hostess uniform.
Why am I the air hostess?
That's good.
Yeah, that's all right.
We can think about that.
Hey, Cooper.
Hello.
Hello.
How old are you, Cooper?
11.
And have you got a suggestion?
Yeah, a mirrored suit.
So it's like a full mirror.
It's like a mirror all around the suit.
Yeah.
I know what you're talking about. Kind of like a disco ball, but you make it into like a full suit. So it's like a full mirror. It's like a mirror all around the suit. Yeah. I know what you're talking about.
Kind of like a disco ball, but you make it into like a full suit. Is that a fire hazard
in the middle of summer next to the lake?
If we get a bit of sun directly
on our suits, are we going to have the
magnifying effect where we start a bushfire?
Could be. Could be. You know, that could be our pyrotechnics.
That could be our finale.
Thanks, Cooper. That's cool, man. Thanks, Cooper. I also like the
suggestion people are saying we should dress
up as each other. If you
were to dress up as me, what would
you do? Probably just wear a plain
t-shirt, a beard
and a
hat. God, you make me sound boring.
And Birkenstocks with socks on
because that's what you were wearing the other day.
What would you wear as me? I'd give myself
a Kesha haircut. I'd give myself a Casher haircut.
I'd have to pierce my nose.
I like that idea.
And some Mario Brothers overalls.
Hey, you'd look cool.
I'd look like an Italian plumber with a nose piercing.
Okay, these ideas are going together.
We're going to pick our favourite four.
What do you like out of that?
What do you like?
I also had one other suggestion.
I like the cyclist one that came in.
The cyclist one's good.
Full lycra with helmets and drink bottles.
Head-to-toe lycra is good.
I also thought we could wear, like, have you seen those suits that are patterned
but they're shorts and a short sleeve?
Yeah.
Have you seen those?
Yeah.
I feel like that'd be pretty cool.
The matching top and bottoms.
Like this.
I've found it on the internet.
Oh, yeah, they're called oppo suits. Oppo suits, yeah.
Yeah, and they come in short sleeve and you get the matching tie as well.
Okay, we'll whittle these down to four
and there's a poll that's going up on our Instagram story later this afternoon.
So check in with us.
We'd love your vote on this.
And if you choose the winning option, you could win a double pass to ZM's float as well.
Yeah, easy as that.
Bree and Clint.
This weekend is D-Day.
We're renovating the whole house and we have to move out of our house and into a caravan.
What a bloody nightmare.
We're going to live in a caravan on the water.
It's going to be beautiful.
It'll be like Summer Bay.
Oh, the caravan part's fine.
I'm just saying the moving and the renovating.
Oh, the moving, yeah.
Horrible.
Hardest bit for us, we've got two cats, Ziggy and Bowie,
and obviously they can't live in a caravan park.
So where are they going?
They're going to live at a friend's house.
They can't go back into the cattery because they don't cope well with it.
They experience what I describe as cat anxiety.
One of them doesn't like, one of them doesn't eat.
They get all, they do, they do.
They get all stressed and when we bring them home, they're not the same cats.
And I swear to God, they lose weight.
They were in there for seven days over Christmas.
I think I lost half a cat.
Is it because you're babying them?
If we are, it's too late.
They've got the personality, that's it.
The damage is done.
So for this trip, I've been looking in to pet anxiety products.
Products that we can use to keep the cats happy
while they have to go and live at someone else's house.
You said to me off air, I'm going to pitch you some of these different things
that we're going to do for the cat anxiety and you can tell me.
Yeah, because I don't think I need them all.
Right, and you can tell me what's good and what's not.
And I said to you, my dad, Big Steve, apple farmer from country Queensland, I feel
like he would have a very strong
opinion about some of these
things. Maybe you should pitch them to
him. I can pitch them to him. Welcome to
the show, Big Steve.
Hello, guys. How are you? Now, you run
animals, don't you? Not just apples. You've also
got animals. Is that right? I have.
That's exactly right. You're perfect for this, then.
So I've got two livestock
myself. I've got two cats.
Dad, can I
just set up your opinion on
animals inside or outside?
Animals were born to be
outside. That's where they are. Not these
ones, Big Steve. Not these ones.
Okay, I've got three products and I
want you to give me your opinion on each one
before I purchase them. Bear in mind, I haven't purchased any of them yet, okay?
Oh, God, good luck, Clint.
The first product I've found is called Carmex for cats.
Carmex is a scientifically formulated
stress relief drink for cats,
utilising a mixture of ingredients.
Don't laugh.
A mixture of ingredients that synthesize effects
that modulate neuron transmission within the brain,
providing immediate stress relief.
$39.80 a bottle from myvet.co.nz.
Very interesting.
I'll tell you what to do with that one.
Yeah.
Throw it out.
Get a carton of milk.
You probably got a bit of Jack Daniels at home.
Put some in the milk. Yeah. And got a bit of Jack Daniels at home.
Put them in the milk.
And there you go.
That cat will be calm as.
It'll be laying on its back being very calm, I can tell you.
Cool.
I don't know if I'll get that one past the wife, but let's go with option number two.
Option number two.
Now, this is not a medicated one.
This is more of an item of clothing for the cat.
It's called a Thunder Shirt.
It's a large grey cat calming polo shirt.
Thunder Shirts keep the
cat wrapped up
in a nice snug shirt that feels like a
big hug to keep them calm.
$85 from Animates.
Oh my god.
What's it
called? Thunder Shershirt?
It's called a thundershirt, yeah.
Don't they realise cats have got a fur coat on all the time?
What else does it need?
It doesn't need any stupid thundershirt.
I can tell you, you want to give that cat a complex, put that thing on,
it'll walk past the mirror and go, oh, my God, what the hell is that thing?
Cool, all right. So that's a no from Big Steve on that one as well.
That's a no to the $85 Thunder Shirt.
Well, there's only one more option.
There's only one more product that we could get that might work,
and it's called a Feel-A-Way Cat Diffuser.
The Feel-A-Way Diffuser helps you nurture your relationship with your cats
by creating a loving environment for them.
Just screw the vial into the diffuser and plug it into an electric socket.
Then leave the diffuser switched on continuously
to give your cat a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.
I'm in the wrong business.
I should be creating some of this rubbish.
That's ridiculous.
How much would you pay for the feel-away cat diffuser, Big Steve?
In cents for cats.
I reckon 25 cents maybe.
Well, it's $130.
Holy hell!
Oh, my God.
I tell you what, you want to keep your cat calm,
give it a pat every now and then,
and if it gets gnarly, just drop-kick it out the door.
It'll be back because it won't have any other love outside
that'll be going, oh, gee, I better go back to the boss
and I better suck up to him.
Yeah.
All right.
You can't say that.
The Bree and Clint show in no way.
I do not condone that.
In no way endorses the animal policies of Bessie.
Although the Jack Daniels one wasn't a bad idea.
Bree and Clint.
You've heard of Tinder.
You've got your Bumble.
I mean, what other dating apps have come out? Grindr.
Grindr was the original dating app.
There's another one called Hinge that's quite big in the
States. Hinge, Her.
Bumble. Yeah, there's heaps.
There's a new one that's
coming out very soon, but it's
different. It's a little bit different. So the
app is called, it's a dating app and it's called
Ship. Oh yeah. So essentially, Ship. Ship. Ship. different it's a little bit different so the app is called it's a dating app and it's called ship oh yeah so essentially ship ship ship ship cool it's a little bit different where your friends
get to swipe on potential love matches for for you oh so it's like a matchmaking app
no so essentially instead of you swiping on potential people that you want to go on dates with, your friends do it for you.
Yeah, so they do matchmaking for you.
Yeah, pretty much.
So it's interesting because so you can go onto the app
and look for yourself but then you can add certain friends
because we all know in dating, when you start dating someone,
your friends always have import, right?
Oh, yeah.
You always go to your friends for advice.
Yeah, yeah.
Especially when it's someone from outside the friend group, like a new person who's
being brought into the situation.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So the app's been created by a company called Betches, which is kind of cool.
And you sign up and you can bring in as many friends as you want to.
Even if your friends, which this part I think is really cool, are in relationships, they can still swipe for you.
That's the genius bit about it for me.
As someone who's in a relationship and doesn't get the thrill of looking through dating profiles
and seeing that kind of thing, this is fun for us.
So you can have a look for your friends as well.
So the idea is really that you have your friend's best interests at heart, right?
Yeah.
Because I can see a lot of friends just stitching their mates up.
Guys in particular.
I don't think this is very good for guys.
Yeah, not so much.
Because they will try and they'll say, what do you like?
And then they'll find you the complete opposite.
Isn't that funny?
Whereas girls are really like protective about stuff like that.
Oh, you like someone your own age, do you? How does someone the same age as your grandma sound?
So that's what you would think. But with this app, you can actually put in the stuff that you're
looking for. So then your friends can't do that. So it only shows you that kind of thing. Yes.
Then again, though, what if your friends know better than you? You know, some people just have
terrible taste in people like one of some of your friends, you know, you go, why do you keep going for that kind of guy?
Why do you keep going for that kind of girl?
Why do you keep choosing the wrong person for yourself?
Let me take it over.
I know what you want.
My brother and my relationship is a very good example
where I'm always like, why do you keep dating this same person?
You should be dating this type of girl.
And he never listens.
What sort of girl does he like?
This is Bree's hot brother, Aiden, by the way.
So, ladies.
He likes, he tends
to go for
he likes a curvy girl. Oh yeah.
And he likes, usually he dates
quiet girls. Yeah. But he's
very quiet and I think he should date someone
more outgoing. Okay. Because it would
bring him out of his shell. To drag him out of his shell.
Yeah. Yeah. That's what I think. And what, does he need to
date someone skinny? Is that what you're saying? No.
Just the outgoing part. No. I think that's great. And what, does he need to date someone skinny? Is that what you're saying? No, just the outgoing part.
No, I think that's great.
Whatever you like, that's perfect.
But I think he should date that type of personality.
Yeah, okay.
So what is the app called?
So the app's called Ship.
Apparently it's going to be out in New Zealand.
It's not out here yet, but it's going to be out here soon.
That's going to be massive.
Who would you let?
Who would you let do that for you?
Look on my behalf?
Yeah.
I would definitely not let you look on my behalf.
Brie and Clint.
Oh, my God.
I heard she bought all her followers.
She would.
She's such a bitch.
It's time for Brie and Clint's Insta Fame Game.
Welcome to the Insta Fame Game where we guess how many Instagram followers famous celebrities have.
Ellie gives us the celebrity
and then Bree and I have 10 seconds each
to figure out the right number.
It is first to three correct answers.
Pretty much the most superfluous game on radio.
That's fun.
It's fun.
We're guessing how famous people are online
and you can play as well.
The score for the year is one all.
Okay, good start for you.
Good start for me.
I won last week.
Kick us off, Ellie, with our first Instagram celebrity for the week.
Okay, your first celebrity.
He's getting a bit of heat at the moment for the documentary Fire.
It's Ja Rule.
Ja Rule.
Who the hell is following Ja Rule?
Apparently some people.
He probably has gained a few followers after that doco.
Or lost.
I don't really know.
Oh, yeah, probably both.
All right, for Ja Rule.
Clint, you've said 740,000.
Brie, you've said 3 million.
Ja Rule has 743,000, Clint.
You basically got that.
Whoa.
Oh, baby.
That's very close, Clint. Oh, baby, I'm back. Very close. That's good, baby. That's very close, Clint.
Oh, baby, I'm back.
Very close.
That's good for me.
That's really, really good.
It is.
Yeah, congratulations to me.
Okay, give us another one, Ellie.
All right, the second one,
he's just been the subject of a face tattoo.
It's Harry Styles.
Oh, we talked to our Hollywood reporter,
Dean McCarthy, about this.
Some Australian or New Zealand singer,
we don't know who wants to claim her,
has got a full face tat.
It's huge.
It's huge.
It's her whole cheek.
How many followers does Harry Styles have?
He'd be right up there, right?
With, like, Selena Gomez.
I love Harry Styles.
Surely.
All right, for Harry Styles, Clint,
you have said 100 million.
Whoa.
Marie, you said 28 million.
Harry Styles has 24.1 million.
Get in.
It's a point to Brie.
One all.
How does Harry Styles not have 100 million Instagram followers?
Yeah, I know.
I was surprised with that too.
Probably because most of his career was in a band and then...
Yeah, that's true.
Oh, you don't think he was bigger than...
Ellie, you're a One Direction fan.
You don't think Harry Styles was bigger than the band?
Zayn Malik's the hottest. Zayn Malik's the hottest.
Zayn Malik's the hottest.
Yeah, I love Zayn.
Well, Zayn Malik has the best solo music.
Right.
Oh, that's a big claim.
That is controversial.
Who's got the best hair?
Oh, Harry.
It has to be Harry.
I mean, we could talk about this all day.
Yeah, we could.
All right, next one.
Your third celebrity is the tidy opera lady that everyone's talking about.
It's Marie Kondo.
She's got a show on Netflix.
Ah, the Japanese clean-your-house lady.
Okay.
How many for Marie Kondo?
I do like Marie Kondo.
She's actually changed my life, that lady.
I actually don't give a shit about Marie Kondo.
All right, for Marie Kondo.
She was big on YouTube before she was big on Netflix.
Right.
So she should have a good social following.
Yeah, right.
So Clint, you've said 400,000 for Marie Kondo.
And Brie, you've said 480,000 for Marie Kondo, sorry.
And she has 2 million followers.
So Brie gets that one.
2-1.
Brie, how's my dust taste?
Fourth celebrity.
You can win it here.
Don't get too cocky, mate.
Fourth celebrity.
All right.
This guy has just revealed that he has a third nipple.
It's John Mayer.
How many Instagram followers for John Mayer?
I feel like he might be a little bit older than the Instagram generation,
but he'll still be big.
He'll definitely still be big.
That voice, though.
John Mayer.
Dreamy.
Tall glass of water, the old John Mayer.
I'm thirsty.
All right, for John Mayer,
Clint, you've said 18 million.
Bree, you've said 6 million.
John Mayer has 3.9 million.
That's the game to Bree.
Play the music.
Okay, mate, well done.
Happy with that?
There it is.
That was a solid game.
Nice work.
What did you win by?
3-1.
Yeah, 3-1.
I'm happy with that.
Okay, Bree and Clint.
Bree and Clint.
There has been an attack on Wellington's civil rights today.
People's God-given right to do a certain thing
in a certain place that has been there forever.
I mean, what are they going to do next?
They're taking everything away from us.
This, no, we need to stop this.
We need to take a stand.
Tell us exactly what the deal is, Bree.
So the Wellington City Councillor
Chris Calvey Freeman wants
to stop drivers tooting
through the Mount Victoria Tunnel.
That was me
swearing. Those weren't car horns. Those
were me really letting rip.
This is a travesty.
Who does this guy
think he is
coming in here
and telling everyone if they can toot or not toot through tunnels?
Politics is a funny old game.
You've got to read the mood of the people to have a long career.
John Key did it.
Jacinda Ardern is very good at it.
You've got to take the temperature of the nation.
Where is this guy stuck his thermometer that he thinks we want tooting
banned in our tunnels,
especially a tunnel as iconic as the Vic Tunnel.
I even know about this because as soon as I went to Wellington,
everyone talks about you've got to toot through the tunnel.
The only thing more famous about the Vic Tunnel than tooting in it
is that time that that guy did a poo inside it and they had to close it.
Also, what are they going to take away from us next?
No more pooing in the tunnel?
Is that what you want, Chris?
Chris? You want me to stop pooing in the tunnel? Is that what you want, Chris? Chris?
You want me to stop pooing in the tunnel?
Chris, is that what you want?
How dare you?
How dare you?
I will poo and I'll toot where I want.
I will poo on you.
No, I won't do that.
We're verging on hate speech now.
I love that there's a few people that are coming to his aid
and they're saying that, yeah, it does provide some annoyance
for the pedestrians.
This is what he said.
He said, a lot of people think that tooting in the tunnel is a victimless crime.
It isn't.
It's very annoying for pedestrians.
First of all, the tunnel's for cars.
There is a path, and I know a lot of people use the path,
but tooting is part of the ambience, is it not?
I love that a part of his argument was that people can get scared and shocked.
Guess what?
Everyone knows that you toot through that tunnel.
Also, you're in a tunnel and you're in a safe walkway.
What's the worst that is going to happen?
Wellington Mayor has said he doesn't agree.
He goes, he gets what he's saying.
It can be a little bit annoying, but he said people in Wellington
can decide whether they want to toot or not.
Oh, don't tell me we're having a binding referendum on this
because you know who wins that?
Baby boomers.
They're the only ones who know how to post back voting forms
and if the baby boomers don't want us, this is a real baby boomer move.
Come on, Fun Police.
To ban the tooting in the tunnel.
We've got some Wellingtonians on the phone as well.
Luke, how are you feeling, mate?
What's the mood of Wellington today?
Well, I'm in agreement with you lot.
It's a bit of an outrage, really.
I can't see why we can't be tooting in the tunnel.
I mean, now that I hear you say it,
I think maybe I need to get away with a cheeky poo in the tunnel
before that gets closed down.
If you wanted to, Luke, that's your right.
What is the councillor's name again?
Chris who?
Chris Gavey Freeman.
Yeah, no idea.
I've only just heard about this today, literally on the radio moments ago. Chris who? Chris Calvi Freeman. No idea, I've only just heard about this today
literally on the radio moments ago.
Chris who? Right, Luke?
What's your message to Chris Calvi
Freeman, Luke, as a Wellingtonian citizen
as a ratepayer? Do you have the paper ready so I can
just swear away or is that not how it works?
No, you're going to have to help me with
this, Chris. Don't do that.
Just give me, don't actually say the swear word.
We'll try it, it's live. Don't actually say the swear word.
Just do pauses, okay? Well, look, here
it is. If he's never driven
through that tunnel and beeped, then he's not really
a Wellingtonian, is he? There you go.
I didn't have to beep any of that.
No, we'll keep it civil. Keep it
civil, yeah. No, I like your passion.
We need to take a stand here.
We next stage a peaceful
protest. We have Wellington ZM Thunder 1 and Wellington ZM Thunder 2
standing by to do the longest tooting trip through the Mount Vic Tunnel
that anybody's ever seen.
We're going to toot the whole way through.
If you are near the tunnel, okay, if you are near the Mount Vic Tunnel,
if you can hear us at the moment in Wellington, get ready.
We're going to play one song, and when we come back,
we will have live phones
inside the tunnel to pick up that sound,
okay? Can I just say, if you're in Wellington
and you usually go one way
home, re-route.
We want to go through the tunnel. You want
to be a part of this? We want it so loud.
We want it so loud in there
that they consider closing the tunnel. Actually,
no, we don't want that. Not that. No. Be a part
of this next. Head for the tunnel, Wellington.
We'll cross live to the Black Thunders next.
It is time to fight for your right to toot.
We're taking a stand this afternoon.
As reports have come out today,
Wellington City Councillor Chris Calvey-Freeman
wants drivers to stop tooting in the Mount Victoria Tunnel,
a tradition in Wellington.
A tradition that dates back generations.
Also, one of the most fun things to do.
Traffic can be awful, and if you get to have a bit of a toot in the tunnel, who are you hurting?
It's a bit of fun.
We've asked all Wellingtonians to head for the tunnel.
If you can get there in time, it's time for a toot-off, okay?
Someone has texted and said,
trains have been cancelled in Wellington,
so ain't nobody rerouting,
even for such a great and noble cause as tooting in the tunnel.
That's okay.
If you can get there, that's fine.
We're going to cross live first to our ZM Thunders
who are standing by for a trip through the tunnel.
Thunder One, Nikita, come in.
Hello.
Hey, guys. How are you? Thank you so much the tunnel. Thunder 1, Nikita, come in. Hello. Hey, guys.
How are you?
Thank you so much for jumping on board this, Nikita.
You're really doing the people's work here.
I am.
I really am.
Wellington is up in arms about this.
Which end of the tunnel are you at?
We're at Basin Reserve side, and we're currently going up the hill.
Okay.
If you can hear us, come to Basin Reserve side.
Okay, there you go.
We need to do this safely so you know Nikita is not driving.
She is the passenger in Thunder 1. Thunder 2, come site. Okay, there you go. We need to do this safely so you know Nikita is not driving. She is the passenger in Thunder 1.
Thunder 2, come in.
Lara, are you there?
Hey, I'm here.
You're following very closely behind Thunder 1, yes?
Yes, I'm sticking as close as I can.
Two Thunders make more tooting than one Thunder.
That's what they say.
Nikita, how close to the tunnel are we right now?
How close are we to Mount Vic Tunnel in Wellington?
About 50 metres. We see the Mount Victoria Tunnel in Wellington? About 50 metres.
We see the Mount Victoria Tunnel sign.
Okay.
All right.
When you're ready, you get on that horn.
We need to hear exactly what's going on in that tunnel.
If you're in there as well, let's get those horns up, New Zealand.
Let's get that noise going.
We need to do this together.
Anyone that's in the tunnel right now, if you see the thunders,
as soon as they start tooting, we need your help.
It is peak hour traffic.
We're merging to one lane.
Can you hear any horns at the moment, Nikita?
Not yet.
We've got traffic jams and we're merging, but we are slowly approaching.
Give me 10 seconds and we're ready to hold.
We have done this in rush hour traffic.
We understand that, but good things take time.
Any sights of any poos, Nikita?
Oh, we're away.
We're away.
It's going off.
That sounds like a hell of a lot of cars on their horns.
If you're in there at the moment and you're a passenger,
give us a text, let us know what it's like in that tunnel.
Get on the horns, everyone.
Let's send Chris Calvey Freeman from the council a message.
Nikita, are you still with us?
Someone's texted in. Someone's texted in.
Someone's texted in.
They're saying it's absolute chaos in the tunnel right now.
It is so loud in the tunnel.
I've pooed in front of it.
No, you have not.
Two birds with one stone.
Two birds.
That is an incredible result.
What an amazing achievement from Thunder 1, Nikita,
and also Thunder 2, Lara.
Girls, what an amazing thing you've done for Wellingtonian today.
If that message does not reverberate all the way to the top of the beehive,
then nothing will.
Someone's also texted through.
It was so loud I could hear it from a street over.
There you go.
Fight for your right, New Zealand.
Stand strong, Wellington.
Toot your ass off.
Let's do some birthday banger.
Let's pick up the mood.
Free and Clint's birthday banger.
Your birthdays, your 16th birthdays,
and we figure out what song was number one.
We then play our favourite.
Hey, Sarah.

and on that day, this was number one.
Huge.
Is it Cascada?
Is that who it is? Cascada, yeah.
Cascada.
You get to evacuate the dance floor.
How do you feel about that?
That is phenomenal.
Oh, Ruby, hang around.
That is a tune.
That is going to be really hard to beat.
Hi, Amanda.
Hi.
Hello, Amanda.
What's your birthday?
16th of February, 1978.

Okay, you were 16 in 1994 on the 16th of February,
and this is your birthday banger.
Oh, a bit of Jimmy Cliff.
Oh, hang on a second.
Oh, hang on a second.
Amanda.
Gotta play it.
This is a beautiful song and everyone knows the words to this.
This is a birthday banger.
It's a sing-along anthem.
We'll just have one love over the weekend.
This is big.
It's a tune.
We could have a split vote here, Amanda.
Wait there, okay?
Okay.
All right, cool.
What are you going with?
Clinton.
I can't go past this.
You going with that?
Yeah.
I can't.
And I know you love that Cascada, Cascada song.
I just, I'm happy to go to a split vote.
I just, I have to cast my vote for that one. I'm going to go with my loins. It's got to be Cascada, Evac song. I just, I'm happy to go to a split vote. I just, I have to cast my vote for that one.
I'm going to go with my loins.
It's got to be Cascada, Evacuate the Dance Floor.
That means we are coming in for a split vote.
Today, the producer nominated to make the call
is producer Ben.
Hi, producer Ben.
Hi, guys.
How are you?
The power's in your hands, my friend.
Wait, is producer Ellie hanging up the boots
after her absolutely dismal pick last week?
What did she choose?
Remember she chose Ben Lummis?
Oh, yeah.
She popped it on the text machine.
I don't think she hasn't recovered from that.
She's still recovering.
Her confidence is shaken.
That's okay.
Ben, we trust you, mate.
Thanks, mate.
And you can choose from any one of them, actually.
You can throw Katy Perry back into the mix, but I wouldn't.
No, no.
I'm going to have to go Ruby.
Ruby has it with Evacuate the Dancefloor.
There's no way.
It's an absolute banger.
Ben.
Yeah.
Ben.
You're a legend.
Ben, are you sure?
Yes.
He's positive.
We're not going to get another chance to play that song.
We're not going to.
We might never get another chance to play Cascade.
Fine. Okay. Fine, okay.
Oh!
Yes!
Woo!
Ruby, your birthday bang is on.
Yes, Ruth!
Brilliant!
It is time for our very first song-off.
Song-off.
Expertly made intro for a very important feature. first song off. I challenge you to a song off.
Expertly made intro for a very important feature.
In 18 days we play ZM's
float thanks to Tip Top Trumpet as
a DJ duo as the Hot Mess Express.
I mean some would say you know
we haven't even delved into
the music side of things. We're getting around to it.
We're getting around to it today. We will find out
if we have the first song on our playlist
today. To do that we're bringing in a music jury of experts.
First of all, Zoe, you're a music expert, yes?
Yeah.
What do you know?
What's your credentials?
Why are you so good at this?
Have you listened to music before?
Yeah.
Yeah, perfect.
Yeah, she checks out.
She's in.
Next up is Jane.
Jane, you're a music aficionado.
Is that correct?
Jane. Oh, sorry, yes.
Yeah, good. We'll take that. Don't say any more.
And finally, Angela, it
said you have attended over
150 gigs in
the last, this year. 12 months.
Yeah, is that correct? Yeah, correct.
That is correct. She's very, very
well qualified. I need you three ladies
to listen carefully to the pitch and the song, okay?
I'm bringing in the first song.
Bree, tomorrow you'll have the chance to pitch a song, okay?
And the song off.
If the people say yes, it's in.
Right, I get it.
If the people say no.
I love this.
We can't play it, okay?
It's pressure.
It's big pressure.
Three-person jury, let's do it.
You don't know the song that I'm pitching.
No, I thought it was going to be this song.
I hope it's a song you want in there as well.
I hope so too.
I feel like it is.
Okay.
Okay.
My pitch for the first song in the song off.
Oh, is it controversial?
Now this song dates back to the previous century
when bangers were new and most people still listen to rock music.
Ooh, rock music.
Yuck.
Ooh, yuck.
Ugh, gross.
Where's the synthesizers?
The first time, the first time this song ever played on the radio,
it said that everybody pulled over their cars to the side of the road
and started making love.
Furious, frantic, and synchronized love at 136 beats per minute.
That's the power of this song.
Interesting.
This is the sort of song we want to play at float.
Some argue it is the greatest
piece of electronic music
ever composed by a
man with a flavour saver.
And they would be right.
Ladies and gentlemen, the first
contender for song one
for the Hot Mess Express
is
Sandstorm.
Is this not the ultimate song for any DJ set?
Who doesn't love Sandstorm?
Who doesn't love Sandstorm?
Let's go to our jury.
First of all, Zoe, is Sandstorm the right song for us to have at Float in our DJ duo?
Yes.
Yes, it is.
Oh, it's a yes from Zoe.
That's one yes.
All you need is one more yes.
Jane. Yes, that is good. That's one yes. All you need is one more yes. Jane.
Yes, that is good.
That's good.
There we go.
She's in.
Let's see if we get the clean sweep.
Finally, Angela.
Is Sandstorm the right song for us to play at Float?
Yes.
There we go.
It's a clean sweep, New Zealand.
There you go.
We've got our first song.
We're underway.
Pretty easy You
I'm nervous now because I feel like
Yeah
It's not going to go as well
You tomorrow have the job of finding our next song, okay?
Can't wait
Good luck
Brie and Clint
Got a bit of a gripe that's happening in the office at the moment
Ross Boss, you know, he got on my nerves the other day.
I hung out with him on the weekend and we're at this party
and there was a few lemonades happening and I pulled out my phone
and I was showing him an Instagram of someone that was a potential,
not a potential, how would I explain it?
Mate.
Yeah.
Anyway, you know what we're talking about.
Someone you were looking to.
We were looking into someone's Instagram.
We all do it.
Some of your prey.
A gazelle you were looking to take down later in the evening.
Yes.
We know.
I know what you're talking about.
Yeah.
Ross Boss takes it upon himself.
He said, oh, let me have a look.
Let me have a look.
So I trusted him.
I thought, you know, he's trustworthy.
He's my boss.
He's married.
He's not going to steal them off you.
Yeah. He's old. You know, he gets my phone, scrolls way, way down into the Instagram profile.
Yeah. And then likes a photo from 2015. Vintage move. Fantastic, fantastic move from a married
man. But he doesn't stop there. He decides he's going to like another four photos around the same time.
So it's going to stand out, isn't it, in the notifications?
Yeah.
Apparently he's been doing it to other people in the office.
Anytime you like a series of photo in quick succession
and you get those notifications that the same person has liked a bunch of your photos.
Hard to miss.
Hard to miss.
Even for the most followed people.
Like if you see like a big clump of notifications
come up from the same person,
you go, damn, that person is thirsty.
It's noticeable.
I've got an experiment to do with you
because I've always wondered with this,
how big a deal is it?
What if you just went straight away
and unliked the photo?
Would it remove the notification?
Right.
If you were quick enough and you saw them do it, because people get so freaked out that
they're going to do it just when they're scrolling by accident. If you quickly remove the like.
Does it take away the notification?
Does it take away the notification? What I've done is I've turned on my notifications on
my Instagram. I don't usually have them on, but I've turned them on now.
Yes.
Okay. What I want you to do is go to my Instagram page and find a photo of mine that you haven't
liked yet.
Okay.
So scroll through until you find one.
I like all your photos, Clint.
Yeah, I know you do.
So I'm going to have to scroll a long way.
You're a big fan.
Some might say a stalker.
All right.
There you go.
Here we go.
I found one.
Yeah.
What's the date on the photo?
The date is the 20th of February, 2018. Okay. There you go. Here we go. I found one. Yeah. What's the date on the photo? The date is the 20th of February, 2018.
Okay.
There you go.
2018.
2018.
You went back all the way.
A year ago.
Go ahead and like it.
Okay.
Okay.
Like that photo.
All right.
I've liked it.
And the notification has come up straight away.
Okay.
You can see it there.
Yep.
Now remove the like.
Okay.
I'm going to unlike it.
Is it still there?
Just give it a second.
You've definitely unliked it.
Nah, notification's still there. Damn it, Ross.
ZM Bree and Clint.
ZM Bree and Clint, that's new Sam Smith
and Normani. It's called Dancing with a Stranger.
That's it. Today's been a really productive
day for the show. It's been good. We've got some
ideas for our outfits for our performance at Float as DJs,
bonafide DJs.
We also have the first song for our DJ set confirmed.
We started strong.
We put it to a music panel and we got three out of three yeses
that Sandstorm should absolutely be part of the Hot Mess Express signature DJ set.
You feeling good about it?
Yeah, I like it.
You're going to pitch a song tomorrow.
Oh no.
What genre are you thinking?
This is electronic, obviously.
It's actually trance.
But what are you thinking?
What genre are you going to go with?
I want us to stand out.
Yeah. So I might be going with something that's not your stereotypical DJ number.
Okay.
But I need to go home.
I need to research.
I really need to put a lot of thought into it.
Are you going with Wagon Wheel?
No.
Didn't say that.
Didn't say Wagon Wheel.
It's okay if you are.
It's up to the jury, the music jury, as to whether it gets played.
I mean, hypothetically, if Wagon Wheel were to be thrown into the mix,
it wouldn't be the worst thing, would it?
No.
Imagine a Sandstorm and Wagon Wheel remix.
Now you're cooking with gas.
Yeah, baby.
We'll catch you back tomorrow, everyone.
Have a great night.
Bye.
Bree and Clint.
Weekdays 3-7 on ZM.
