Starting point is 00:02:37 Because when Ellie was 14 years old She did a sexy dance to this at school Was it 14? Was it 14 years old? It was 9, I thought. Ben, take the birthday bang a bit off. Yeah, nice. It was about a 10 years old year.
Starting point is 00:02:50 10? Yeah. I was in year five or six. Okay, think about that. Think about the Shakira dance, and then think about 10-year-old Ellie doing this. Whenever, wherever We're meant to be together I'll be there and you'll be near And that's the deal, my dear They're all worth Not to be a full creeperzoid,
Starting point is 00:03:11 but at least that line where she goes, lucky that my breasts are small and humble, at least that would have been anatomically accurate. Ew. No, but it would have been. It would have been. Is that creepy? I'm sorry. Yeah, that was creepy.

Starting point is 00:03:45 And Fee, this is your birthday banger. I'm so gutted I wasn't 18 in the 90s. How wild would things have been? Dance parties to this music. Glow sticks. Grunge, like going to Nirvana and Pearl Jam shows. And no social media. That's a clear winner for me.

Starting point is 00:05:32 Enjoy. ZM's Breein Clint, broadcasting live from the last ever blockbuster in New Zealand, the Southern Hemisphere, planet Earth, the universe. ZM's Breein Clint, live from Blockbuster, Dargaville. Good afternoon, New Zealand. Coming to you live from the last ever Blockbuster store. That's right. We've taken a DeLorean.
Starting point is 00:05:57 The doc has put us inside and we've travelled back to 1999 and we're here at Blockbuster. Yeah, we've been inside. It smells like popcorn and secondhand DVDs, which is a smell that's so familiar to everybody, right? Smells like my childhood. It does. It's a sad day.
Starting point is 00:06:13 I mean, it's tinged with sadness. Obviously, after tonight, it'll be gone. It's the last Blockbuster that there is, so we're here to celebrate it leaving. Yeah. I'm actually really sad we got here, and obviously I haven't been to a DVD store in a long time. No.
Starting point is 00:06:27 And you walk in there. I don't think anybody has. I think that's why it's closing down. Yeah, right? Yeah. And you haven't been and I walked in and automatically I just got all these memories of, you know, being with my family and choosing a DVD or a video and needing to go to the toilet every damn time I walked into the store because I would, it was just a thing.
Starting point is 00:06:44 That's a weird thing. It was just a thing for me. Right. Every time I walked into the store because I would... It was just a thing. That's a weird thing. It was just a thing for me. Right. Every time I walked into a video store... Number ones or number twos? Instantly, ones. Oh, yeah, sorry. Thank God, yeah, ones.
Starting point is 00:06:50 Okay, cool. Well, we're going to bring you that nostalgia today, and we're also going to bring you some DVDs. We've done our best to go around the store, pick out the best remaining movies, and throughout today's show, we're going to give those away with different games. We're going to make it rain discs here on the show today. That was discs. Discs. For everybody listening, that was we're going to give those away with different games. We're going to make it rain discs here on the show today. That was discs? Discs. For everybody listening, that was we're going to make it rain discs. Yeah. I mean, that's a very different
Starting point is 00:07:12 show if you heard otherwise. Next, we're going to talk to the man who's closing this Blockbuster store down. His name is Chris and he has become national news this week. He's been on the AM show. He was on 7 Sharp last night and now he's on our AM show. He was on 7 Sharp last night and now he's on our radio show.
Starting point is 00:07:26 Yeah, he's a national treasure and I can't believe he's got the time to come to a show, but here we are. He'll be on with us very shortly. Before then, though, the first ZM play of the new Dua Lipa song. Let's do this. Just dropped today.
Starting point is 00:07:37 It's called Physical. Brand new music. Bree and Clint live from Dargaville at the last ever Blockbuster store. ZM. Bree and Clint. We're live today from Dargaville at the last ever Blockbuster store. ZM. Brian Clint. We're live today from Dargaville, which if you're not familiar with Dargaville, it's like two and a half hours north of Auckland.
Starting point is 00:07:53 Then get educated. Dargaville's a delightful place. If you don't know where Dargaville is, wake up. Come on, what are you doing? Wake up. Wake up. Get involved. We're here for the closure of, we thought it was New Zealand's last,
Starting point is 00:08:04 but we've found out it was New Zealand's last, but we've found out it's the world's last Blockbuster store. Yeah, they're saying there's one in Oregon, USA, but it's kind of like a museum slash store now, so it's not really like the one that's closing here today. The man that gave us that information is Chris. He owns the Dargaville Blockbuster and he's with us now. Hi, Chris.
Starting point is 00:08:23 Hi, how are you going? We're going really good. We're happy to be here on your final day. How are you feeling? Oh, sad, sad. But I'm excited that you guys are here. I'm over the world that you guys have come over. Well, thank you for having us.
Starting point is 00:08:36 Yeah, thanks for having us, Chris. It's a bittersweet moment, I'm sure, for you, but for a lot of people. When I first got here, Chris, I was quite overwhelmed. It's literally a lot of our childhoods, like, closing down. Oh, my life is closing down. I've been with it for 23 years, just about 24, and it's part of my family, basically. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:56 It is. It would be like one member of the family. We met your daughter just before. Yeah, yeah. And we said to her, is this a sad day? And she goes, oh, yep, yep. She doesn't care. She doesn't want it. They don't want to know anything about it.
Starting point is 00:09:07 No, I said, have you stockpiled some DVDs? Like, have you shotgunned the ones she wants? And she goes, I don't really watch DVDs. No. No. They got sick of it. Yeah, right? They got really sick of it really fast.
Starting point is 00:09:16 There goes the other son. The other son, there. I want to know, Chris, because obviously you've got a massive DVD collection slash Blu-ray. How many DVDs did you have and how many do you have left? Well, I had 21,000 movies inside here plus the Blu-rays plus the games. And now I'm down to around 16,500 movies inside here. So you've moved a few. I've moved a few.
Starting point is 00:09:40 And all 16,500 of those DVDs have got to go today. They've got to go. Get on down to Blockbuster, DVDs have got to go today. They've got to go. Get on down to Blockbuster. Low prices. Because Chris is doing deals. He's slashing prices. I've already bought up a bunch of DVDs. I found the castle inside Clint.
Starting point is 00:09:54 How much did you pay for a copy of the castle? Oh, a couple of bucks. Yeah, a couple of bucks. A couple of bucks. I bought premium on it. Tell him he's dreaming. Tell him. It's going straight to my pool room.
Starting point is 00:10:02 Straight. I'll tell you. What's your favourite movie, Chris? It's got to be Roadhousever. Straight. I'll tell you. What's your favourite movie, Chris? Oh, it's got to be Roadhouse. Roadhouse? Roadhouse. Roadhouse. Roadhouse has got to be the classic one.
Starting point is 00:10:12 Or Crossroads. You've got to remember... The old school one. Yeah, don't go with Britney Spears. The Britney Spears one. Don't go with Britney Spears. I do love the Britney Spears. You love the Britney Spears movies. Oh, no, no.
Starting point is 00:10:20 Do you like... I love rock and roll. Britney, get it, girl. Okay, well, we're here to have some fun today, Chris, and we're going to try and take over your store a bit too. We're going to go in there soon and rummage through your DVD collection. Oh, you can rummage through anything you like inside there. Chris, I have seen that there's a restricted area, over 18s.
Starting point is 00:10:38 I've never been inside one of those, Clint, have you? She's not allowed in there, is she? I'm over 18, I swear. She's well over 18. Well over 18? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, she's past the burn stage. She's good to go there, is she? I'm over 18, I swear. She's well over 18. Well over 18? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, she's past the burn stage. She's good to go.
Starting point is 00:10:49 Yeah, she's past it. Today, we're live from Dargaville. We're at the world's last Blockbuster store, which will be closed at 7pm tonight. Yeah, if you want some new DVDs for your collection, some cheap ones. Cheap, cheap, cheap. Got to get them now. Everything must go. Not even new. I've got. Cheap, cheap, cheap. Got to get them now. Everything must go. Not even new.
Starting point is 00:11:06 I've got a copy of Goodbye Pork Pie here. I've got the Zac Efron Baywatch. I've got Bring It On down here. That'd be worth a bit. Sony's Wedding is here. Yeah, get down here and get yourself a bargain. This is exciting for people who love to use emojis on their text. Are you a big emoji user?
Starting point is 00:11:22 Big emoji user. I've warmed to it in recent times because it really takes the edge off what you're saying. I think so too. It gives some more emotion into the text. It helps,
Starting point is 00:11:30 yeah, it helps convey context and emotion where text can be misconstrued, you know? All the time. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:37 What's your, what do you think's your most used emoji without looking at it? I'm big on the, the face with lots of hearts all over it at the moment. Oh yeah? Because I'm mostly talking to people about my baby. That too, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Mine would be the slapping yourself in the forehead. Face palm. Like, what an idiot. Yeah, that
Starting point is 00:11:54 makes sense too. Which conveys my life very well. But this is exciting because there's a whopping 117 new emojis on the way coming to people's smartphones, which is quite a lot. 117, yeah. It's quite a lot of new emojis, and apparently the people who design these little things were getting overwhelmed every day with certain requests. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:18 A very popular request was a baby Yoda emoji. See, I get that, but are we still going to be baby Yodering in one year's time? Yeah, like that's the thing. You know, these things have a lifespan. It's like people who wanted a Harambe emoji. Yeah. Nice at the time, but yeah. People also wanted a Jaws shark one,
Starting point is 00:12:38 but I don't know. I think they might have done a baby Yoda one, but these are some of the ones that will be included. Apparently, one of the best ones and people are most excited about is a pinched fingers, which if you can imagine, I'm Italian, so I get this one really well. And us Italianos, we pinch our fingers when we talk and it makes us sing.
Starting point is 00:13:00 Eat a latte. You know what I'm talking about? It's a beautiful. Imagine someone hasn't put enough parmesan on your dish and you're really letting them know how you feel. That's the hand symbol that you need to imagine Brie doing right now. That's a bit of the pinched finger emoji. That's one of the ones that people are really, really pumped about.
Starting point is 00:13:17 Also, people are excited about is the everything's fine face. Is that what that face is? Yeah, so it's literally a's fine face. Is that what that face is? Yeah, so it's literally a smiley face. So it's smiling, but then it's got a tear. So it looks like, you know, when you're at work, you know those moments where you're about to break and you're smiling, but you can't hold back the tears any longer at your desk?
Starting point is 00:13:39 Yeah, yeah, yeah. This is okay. I'm okay with this. Yeah, I'm fine. Everything's fine. Yeah, so people are super pumped about that apparently. A capsicum is in the mix. A capsicum?
Starting point is 00:13:48 A capsicum, yeah. Yeah. Polar bear, insects. There's a lot of new people emojis, which is exciting. Are we talking ethnicities? A lot of ethnicities. There's some deaf ones. There's some blind people.
Starting point is 00:14:05 There's some unable to walk people, different skin colours for partners, which is cool. I like how they've got different grades of skin colours, so they've got white and then a bit tan and then very tan and then darker skin tones. I want them to put out an ultra white skin tone
Starting point is 00:14:20 for me. Also me, I would definitely fall into that. It needs to go further in. Maybe like a translucent. Hasn't seen sun in 20 years. Yeah, right. That's what I'm looking for. Yeah, that would be me.
Starting point is 00:14:31 There's also a lot of new animals like skunks, orangutans, flamingos. Flamingos? Flamingos. Flamingos. There's service dogs. Yeah, they need more dogs. There's only like two dogs.
Starting point is 00:14:44 There's not enough. There needs to be a lot more. Waffles's only like two dogs. It's not enough. A lot more. Waffles, dumplings. It goes on and on and on. And you'll be able to get these very, very soon apparently. Here's the key to this. Take the update straight away because people will start using the emojis instantly and you'll start getting text messages with that box with a question mark in it.
Starting point is 00:14:59 And you go, why are you sending me box question mark? They're not. They're probably sending you a Flamingo emoji. A Flamingo. But you haven't taken the update, me box question mark? They're not. They're probably sending you a Flamingo emoji. A Flamingo. But you haven't taken the update, dummy. So get on it straight away. I think they missed out on an opportunity for summer, a sunburnt person emoji. Yeah, that's got to do too.
Starting point is 00:15:14 They missed that. Yeah. And I reckon they should put it in a fat emoji. Yeah. For when you're feeling fat. Yeah, why not? I searched it the other day. There was nothing in there.
Starting point is 00:15:22 No, it doesn't exist. Bree and Clint from iHeartRadio. This is... The Latest. Live from LA with Dean McCarthy. Now, Dean, obviously you're on the ground in LA and you get some insider scoops for us sometimes. What's the go?
Starting point is 00:15:37 What have you heard about J-Lo's performance at the Super Bowl? Here's what I've heard. Now, I do love a good inside scoop, and this came from such a good source that I was shook to my core. First of all, well, this first part won't surprise you. J-Lo not happy that she has to share the halftime show with Shakira.
Starting point is 00:15:56 And that's a fair point. J-Lo does not need a support act. J-Lo could have totally done that on her own, like Lady Gaga or, you know, that kind of thing, or Katy Perry, but she was given a support act, not-Lo could have totally done that on her own, like Lady Gaga, or that kind of thing, or Katy Perry, but she was given a support act, not happy about it. And then here's the weird part that blew my mind. Jay-Z,
Starting point is 00:16:12 Jay-Z is involved with that selection process of the halftime show. Now, I didn't know that. Did you know that? Anyway, she is livid. Never knew that. She was really dirty at Jay-Z because she felt like, you know, he could have put his foot down and been like,
Starting point is 00:16:29 look, J-Lo does not need a Shakira. It's J-Lo, for God's sake. So I don't know why. He does have a sports management agency, as you may know, and he does, you know, have a lot of contacts, but I didn't realize he was that involved. So there you go. Does he manage Shakira or
Starting point is 00:16:46 something and he's like, get Shakira in there and then I get a cut. JLo does not need it. This came about last year because it's always been one person. It's been Lady Gaga like you said. It's been Michael Jackson. And then last year when everyone was so butthurt about Maroon 5 doing it, they're like, uh, uh, uh, we're going to put Travis Scott
Starting point is 00:17:02 in there as well. We're going to spice it up and add Travis Scott. And that was a disaster. It was. Correct me if I'm wrong. Has J-Lo done this show before? I thought she did Let's Get Loud at the Super Bowl. That was at something else. That's a very good question.
Starting point is 00:17:15 Maybe that was something. Good point. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe I'm wrong. I don't know. She is a multi-generational icon, and she can do that show by herself. Shakira is fantastic, but I'd be pissed off too if I thought I was doing it by myself.
Starting point is 00:17:30 Yeah, a little bit. Yeah, this is me pretending I'm ever going to do the Super Bowl halftime show. Okay, that is the latest from Dean McCarthy. Thanks to our friends at Grabber Seat. Don't miss out on the PartyGraph flights. You can find out the details at grabberat.co.nz right now. We're in Dargaville today, live from the last ever Blockbuster store as they prepare to close down.
Starting point is 00:17:51 That's right. We got a sausage sizzle cranking. We got the free milkshakes. It's going off. It's really popping off down here in Dargaville. Especially, it's popping off especially since we just found out that you can't even get ZM in Dargaville. Yes.
Starting point is 00:18:04 So if you're in Whangarei, you're the closest. And if you want to come say hello and get some cheap DVDs, then get down here. If you're in Whangarei, do us a favour. Get your speaker and point it out the window towards Dargaville and turn it up as loud as you can because we want to let people know we're here and what's going on. But you're right, Bree, it is going off.
Starting point is 00:18:25 We're having a good time. It is. There it is going off. We're having a good time. It is. There's heaps of people down here having a good time. We're about to go into the high-low, which is specially prepared by our producers, Ben and Ellie. Ellie, you've just been deep, deep into the Blockbuster store and you've got some treats. Tell us what you've picked up.
Starting point is 00:18:38 I am so excited. I'm seriously like a pig in poo and I don't think I've been this excited since I was a kid. That's not a saying. No, I think it's actually a pig in a crook. Don't think it's a saying. Oh, I think it is. But anyway,
Starting point is 00:18:48 I just got the full series of the Olsen twins So Little Time which ran from 2001 to 2002 and I also grabbed Billboard Dad, Switching Goals
Starting point is 00:18:56 and New York Minute. Hang on, how do you have a box set of a show that only ran for one year? Yes, it's like 26 episodes but it's in three volumes. You know what's crazy
Starting point is 00:19:04 is I just went into the restricted area and I also got New York Minute. And Billboard Dad. And Billboard Dad. And you know what I also got? It Takes Two.
Starting point is 00:19:15 So I'm pretty stoked. Have they got Full House in there? They have. It's called something else, actually. Can't say it on the radio. What is the Olsen Twins DVD that you haven't found in there yet
Starting point is 00:19:26 that you're really hoping is there? Oh, To Grandmother's House We Go. It's the one Ellie and I both are obsessed with. Yeah, I love it. Well, maybe we can try and find that, and if you really want it, maybe we can make you play for it against a listener later on. Oh, I'd be keen, yeah. To Grandmother's House We Go.
Starting point is 00:19:40 I don't know if it's in there, but we'll have a search. Let's get into this week's high-low. It's the best and worst bits of the week. Bree and Clint. Previously with ZM's Bree and Clint. Hey, guys. Welcome to yet another week of Bree and Clint's high-low. Do we call it high-low or highs and lows?
Starting point is 00:19:56 Hey, guys. Welcome to yet another week of Bree and Clint's highs and lows. All the high points of the week and, unfortunately, all the low points of the week. This week, Bree and Clint found out that the last ever blockbuster is closing down. So we gave them a call. We're going great. We're closing down the last blockbuster in the world. Is that sad?
Starting point is 00:20:13 Are you a bit sad about that? Oh, I'm incredibly sad about that. I want to know, what day is your last day? The 31st of January. It's the last day with this lovely store open. We're packing it all up and putting it in my house. And, oh, my gosh, I don't know where I'm going to put the 7,500 movies. But there you go.
Starting point is 00:20:31 We thought we want to be a part of it, right, Clint? Yeah. You guys want to be a part of it. Of course. We want to be there for you. We want to be a part of history. We want to give you a shoulder to cry on. But we would love to broadcast the Bree and Clint show live from the closing of the last blockbuster in the world this Friday.
Starting point is 00:20:49 What do you think? Awesome, awesome. All I can say is awesome to her. And right now we're actually broadcasting live from the last ever blockbuster, which happens to be in Dargaville. This week, Bree and Clint challenged themselves to make a festival line-up using every letter of the alphabet, but they only had 60 seconds, and let's just say one of the options not on brand.
Starting point is 00:21:08 Hey. Kesha. Kesha. Elle. Luigi. Lou Bega. Lou Bega. Em.
Starting point is 00:21:16 Em. Mariah Carey. Em. Nelly. Nelly Furtado. Oasis is for O. P. Pussycat Dolls Q
Starting point is 00:21:28 Q Q-tip Nice Regina Spector Can you imagine Regina Spector turns up to this line up She goes Why am I here? We were kind of thinking like R.L. Grime.
Starting point is 00:21:46 Ricky Martin. Rita Ora. Brutal Mental. Rag and Bone Man. Rage Against the Machine. Red Hot Chili Peppers. Rihanna. Any of those
Starting point is 00:21:53 would have been great, mate. This week's Caller of the Week goes to Richie who came in hot with this unpopular opinion that really hit a nerve with Brie.
Starting point is 00:22:01 Another unpopular opinion from Richie. Hey, Richie. What's your unpopular opinion? My unpopular opinion would be that the best TV series to hit modern airways over the last 12 years is The Big Bang Theory. Ban him from the telephones right now. No, Brie would have to... Richie, you are banned from the show. Brie would have to agree with you on that.
Starting point is 00:22:24 Sorry, Brie, what was that? I couldn't hear you over an awesome song. Yeah, we couldn't hear you. I'm leaving for the rest of the day. I'm in the Rembrandt side of nothing. I'm about to have a rage blackout. And we're turning the off-air moment of the week into a game this time. Can you guess what Bree's laughing at here?
Starting point is 00:22:52 We're not even going to do the outro. Brie, what were you laughing at? Hello Brie, what were you laughing at? I'm just remembering what I was laughing at. Do you know, Clint? Because I showed it to you. Yeah, it was quite a good video. It was a video. It was a video. It was a video of two old ladies, like I'm talking in their 70s or 80s, like in their 80s, I think, and they were sitting on top of a, what would you call it?

Starting point is 00:34:21 We have free mobile fuel coming your way. That was a good game today. Free and Clint. Today. What is the date your way. That was a good game today. Today, what is the date today? It is the 31st of January. Yeah, it's the day before my birthday. And today, more than any other day, is the world's most popular day to resign from your job.
Starting point is 00:34:39 That is crazy to me. And you and I were talking about this in the car ride down here, up here. And I was like, why would today be the day? Yeah, so today is statistically the most people quit their jobs, and we did some theorising that maybe, like, because really, really we're all still getting back into the groove after Christmas holidays, right? You said to me, like, obviously at the end of the year, you kind of push through and you go,
Starting point is 00:35:03 let's just get to Christmas holidays, it's coming up. Yeah. So you kind of push through and you go, let's just get to Christmas holidays. It's coming up. So you kind of push through to that holiday period. And then you come back and you're like hoping it's going to be different. And you're like, oh, this kind of still sucks. And you stick it out for a few more weeks. And then you're like, nah, end of January, I'm making a change. Yeah, maybe it's a New Year's resolution thing. You go, this year, my life's going to be different.
Starting point is 00:35:23 And maybe you had an epiphany over that time, over New Year's too and you were like, I've got to quit. I've got to quit. And you've just summed up the courage. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:35:30 I don't know what it is but on the 31st of January, more people quit their jobs than any other day of the year and January as a month is the most popular month for people to quit their jobs too. But today is the most popular.
Starting point is 00:35:41 But today is the most popular day of the most popular month. Which is why I'd like to make a bit of an announcement today. Oh yeah? I actually won't be quitting today. Are you sure? Do you want some time to think about that? Don't give
Starting point is 00:35:55 me your answer now. Go away and think about it and we'll talk to you on Monday. I feel like this is what many bosses have said to me. This may be a needle in a haystack search, but statistically it shouldn't be too hard. Surely there should be someone out there listening. If today is the most popular day to quit your job,
Starting point is 00:36:13 is there anyone listening right now who quit their job today? Yeah, is that you listening right now? You're headed home. Yeah. You're like feeling free. Yeah. You're feeling like it's the right decision. Maybe you're not feeling like it's the right decision, but you've done it. Yeah. You're like feeling free. Yeah. You're feeling like it's the right decision. Maybe you're not feeling like it's the right decision, but you've done it.
Starting point is 00:36:28 Yeah. And you've quit. We want to know what sort of job you quit from. Why? And why'd you quit? I want to know why. You might inspire some people this afternoon. Do you have a job to go to or have you just gone, the universe will look after me?
Starting point is 00:36:41 I'll figure it all out later. I admire those people. So do I. But at the same time, I'm like, do you have rent? Like, are you going to? Yeah, but maybe they're deciding that they're going to go traveling. Yeah. And they're going to see the world.
Starting point is 00:36:53 So they don't need to think about that stuff too much. Whatever it is, it's brave. And we'd love to hear from you this afternoon. 0800 dial ZM. Tell us, did you quit your job today? We'd love to hear from you. Call now. Bree and Clint.
Starting point is 00:37:06 We're live from the last Dargaville in New Zealand. The last Dargaville? The last blockbuster in Dargaville, where essentially they've quit their jobs today, haven't they? Pretty much. It's closing down tonight, 7 o'clock. So, yeah, they're walking out the door tonight. Today is the world's most popular day to quit your job. Statistically, more
Starting point is 00:37:26 people quit on the 31st of January than any other day of the year. Have you ever quit your job? Yeah, I quit my job to work with you. Oh, that's right. You did too. So did I. I quit my last job to work with you. We did that together, mate. Yeah, that was a risk for both of us. So this is what you might not know about
Starting point is 00:37:42 Bree and my history is it's like, I imagine what happened is like when you decide you're going to leave your partner. Yeah, absolutely. For someone else. And they're going to leave their partner and you both commit to it and you go, okay, I'll do it first, but you've got to promise me that after I do it, you'll do it. You better leave your partner. Because I'm risking everything for you here.
Starting point is 00:37:58 I remember the conversations you and I had on the phone where I was like, okay, I'm going to do it tomorrow. When are you going to do it? Oh, when I get around to it. You do it first. Anyway, yeah, so we've both quit. Who else has quit? We've got some calls on the phone. I was like, okay, I'm going to do it tomorrow. When are you going to do it? Oh, when I get around to it. You do it first. Anyway, yeah, so we've both quit. Who else has quit? We've got some calls on the phone.
Starting point is 00:38:09 Rebecca's here. Hi, Rebecca. Hi, Bec. Hey, how's it going? Don't tell me you quit your job today, Bec. I did. Good for you. What was the job?
Starting point is 00:38:20 I was working in finance for nine years. Whoa, that's a big decision. And what made you do it today? There was no reason for today. It was just really random that it was today, but I wanted a complete lifestyle change. So let's just quit the job. So talk to us about the lifestyle change.
Starting point is 00:38:39 I imagine you're finance, you're maybe working in Auckland and earning quite good money. Would that be fair to say? Yeah, yeah. So basically,'re maybe working in Auckland and earning quite good money. Would that be fair to say? Yeah, yeah. So basically, yeah, working in finance and then had a house, have a family, and me and hubby with our two little ones and our two dogs decided to sell our house, let's pack up and move down to Papamoa Beach. No way.
Starting point is 00:39:00 That's awesome. Rebecca, you are living my dream. I can't wait till the day I can quit this job and move to Papamile Beach, honestly. That's so cool, Rebecca. Does it feel good? It feels amazing. It's so surreal because I don't know what I'm going to do. I don't know where the world's going to take us.
Starting point is 00:39:16 But who cares? It'll fall into place. You've got a new sense of adventure in your life. Yeah, cool. Hey, we're going to hook you up with some DVDs that we've just bought here at the last Blockbuster in Dargaville.

And what, you're going to let them know that you're quitting over those beers? Yeah, basically. Always a good decision. Why don't you do it on the radio?
Starting point is 00:40:01 Do they play ZM on the site? Maybe you could just announce it on the radio right now. Yeah, I'm on the other side of the site right now. Not sure where they are, but I'm pretty sure they'll have the Makita radio going. Yeah. Dylan, you should yell it out right now. It'll be like, you know, empowering.
Starting point is 00:40:19 I'm Dylan and I'm quitting today. All right, I'll give it a try, eh? All right, ready? Let's give it your best shot. Dylan, I really feel like you're chickening out on us here. Come on, Dylan. I also feel like maybe we've lost Dylan. You there?

Hey, we're standing in the DVD racks. Look how hot Leonardo DiCaprio looks in the Great Gatsby DVD. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:28 He looks fantastic. Leonardo DiCaprio looks fantastic when he's shooting a movie, and when he's not shooting a movie, he looks like an average dude.

Starting point is 00:46:31 Oh, fantastic. Thanks, guys. Oh, fantastic. Bex is like, well, was it worth it? Brie and Clint. Time for Friday-oke. And now it's time for Brie and Clint's most popular segment, Friday Okie. I love Friday Okie.
Starting point is 00:46:48 It's the best. I listen every Friday. I never miss Friday Okie. Thanks, Brie and Clint. You've made my Friday again. Friday Okie. Every week, Brie and I put our dignity on the line in the name of entertainment.
Starting point is 00:47:05 That's right, because we both know we're not great singers. I know I'm probably one of the worst around, but that's why we do it, because it's a bit of fun and you guys get to have a laugh at us. This week, last week, sorry, we butchered a modern Kiwi classic in Benny's Glitter. That was tough. So this week, we've put no New Zealand artists at risk whatsoever. You had the choice between Harry Styles' Watermelon Sugar and Weedist's Teenage Dirtbag,
Starting point is 00:47:28 and you've chosen this song right here. Because I'm just a teenage dirtbag, baby. Yeah, I'm just a teenage dirtbag, baby. A classic. And the guy's voice, this is why I chose this one, Brie, already sounds quite annoying. I love this song so much. So can we butcher this one or can we improve on it
Starting point is 00:47:49 or can we just, you know, flop over? I'd be happy with a 50-50. With a 50-50? Yeah. Okay, as is tradition, because my song won, I'll go first. Listen to both versions because after this we want you to call us and tell us who did the better Friday Oki. But here we go.
Starting point is 00:48:05 This is my take on Wheatus' Teenage Dirtbag. I got gym class in half an hour. Oh, how she rocks in Keds and tube socks. But she doesn't know who I am. And she doesn't give a damn about me. Cause I'm just a teenage dirtbag, baby. Yeah, I'm just a teenage dirtbag baby Listen to Iron Maiden baby with me I think I'm in big trouble. You reckon?
Starting point is 00:49:05 Big trouble. If you're in big trouble after that, I think this show might be in big trouble. Yeah, well, I put a bit of extra sauce on mine and it's either going to go one way or the other. Okay, here comes Bree with a splash of extra sauce. This is her take on Weeders Teenage Dirtbag for Friday Okie. Her name is Noelle.
Starting point is 00:49:33 I have a dream about her. She rings my bell. I got gym class in half an hour. Oh, how she rocks in kids and tube socks. But she doesn't know who I am. And she doesn't give a damn about me. Cause I'm just a teenage dirtbag, baby. Yeah, I'm just a teenager bag baby listen to iron maiden baby with me
Starting point is 00:50:11 oh Yeah, dirtbag. No, she doesn't know what she's missing. Yeah, dirtbag. No, she doesn't know what she's missing. I just needed to get a bit more anger out of the end. Okay, now your voting's going to go one way or another this week. I just needed to get a bit more anger out of the end. Okay. Now, your voting's going to go one way or another this week. You're going to go quality over quantity, or you're going to go for a more is more type voting situation.

Starting point is 00:57:28 Like the time I said I sounded like, what's his name? Mike Posner. I think that was a pretty correct and true... And the time you said you sound like George Ezra. Yeah, they were both very true. And George Ezra, he actually confirmed that. And that time you said that you were friends with that girl who was in the Sydney 2000 Olympics opening ceremony. I was. I am friends with Nikki Webster.
Starting point is 00:57:51 She just couldn't hear me on the phone that day. We've never spoken to her. Well, this one is very, very true and real. And I kind of am a bit annoyed that you don't believe me. So tell us, tell everybody listening what you told us in the car. I said in the car, because obviously we were talking about yesterday, Dean McCarthy, our Hollywood reporter, was telling us about the Queen's Facebook page, Queen Elizabeth, the royals.
Starting point is 00:58:18 She's got a Facebook page. She's online. And I had this idea last night after the show. I was like, I'm going to find that Facebook page. I want to see what she's all about. He told us it's the most private any Facebook page can be. Yeah, I know. But, like, I feel like, you know, I know my way around the book.
Starting point is 00:58:35 I know a few loopholes on the book. Sure. And I got a few people in to help me and you wouldn't believe it, but I have located Queen Elizabethizabeth's facebook page have you i told you i've got inside connections people that know the queen don't ask too many questions just know that i've found her real facebook page and i now have insider knowledge okay what i'm gonna what i'm about to do and I haven't passed this through legal, but you know what?
Starting point is 00:59:06 Sometimes you've got to take a risk. Okay. Queen Elizabeth's Facebook page, I'm nervous, she actually writes statuses. Does she? Which I was pretty shocked to see once we actually got in through the dark web. That's how we located her. Yeah, all right.
Starting point is 00:59:23 And I'm not meant to ask many questions. Don't ask many questions, but I'm going to give the gift to you guys and everyone that listens to our show. This is direct from Queen Elizabeth's
Starting point is 00:59:34 Facebook page. I'm dying to hear it. And these are statuses taken that I've, I went back deep like 10 years ago. These are all statuses I've taken over
Starting point is 00:59:43 the last 10 years. Yep. That Queen Elizabeth Lizzie has written herself. Go on, lay one on us. Alright, this is the first one I found that I thought was quite funny, quite witty from old Lizzie. She said, she writes on Facebook,
Starting point is 00:59:55 Queen Elizabeth, just paid for my morning croissant, looked down at my 10 pound note and thought, hey, it's me! The Queen doesn't carry any money. Quite funny. I told you not to ask too many questions. The next status I found, which I found quite amusing, and this one's quite recent.
Starting point is 01:00:17 This was only a couple of months ago. Right, okay. It said, feeling really TO'd with certain family members, dot, dot, dot, drama, drama, bay, hashtag Megxit. Right, Queen Elizabeth wrote that, didn't she? Yeah, she's... I was wondering who coined the term Megxit, and now we know. Yeah. She's just like any other family member.
Starting point is 01:00:39 Yeah. You know, you write it on Facebook when you've had a few bourbons. Yeah, yeah. You know, you're not Abby. She's being her authentic self. Right, yeah. You're bourbons. Yeah, yeah. You know, you're not Abby. She's being her authentic self. Right, yeah. You're not impressed.
Starting point is 01:00:46 Yeah, yeah. She also... She also... These are... If you're just joining us, these are real status updates from the Queen's Facebook page that Brie has found. Yeah, through the dark web.
Starting point is 01:00:59 Are we allowed to ask what her handle is? You can't because it's quite private. Okay, yeah. And I said... I promised the guys that took me through the dark web loophole to get to her Facebook page? You can't because it's quite private and I said, I promised the guys that took me through the dark web loophole
Starting point is 01:01:06 to get to her Facebook page. I wouldn't. She also wrote this on Facebook. She said, it's my birthday. You're welcome for the day off,
Starting point is 01:01:15 bitches. And when did she write that? It was actually on the Queen's birthday she wrote that which, I mean, makes sense
Starting point is 01:01:22 because it's her, you know. You know, it's not actually her birthday on that weekend, eh? Yeah, but this is her real birthday, whenever it was. That's when she wrote it. Yeah, I'm not sure of exact dates. Okay, yeah, yeah, gotcha, gotcha.
Starting point is 01:01:32 Do you want a couple more? Oh, why not? You know, why not? We've come all the way to Dargaville. Why not? I've got one more for you. Yeah. This is direct from Queen Elizabeth's Facebook page.
Starting point is 01:01:44 I got access to it don't know how she said hey at lord oh she's so there you go she said hey at lord so obviously lord follows her on the book will will never be royals you say question mark question mark try telling megan that hashtag weaseled her way in. She's throwing shade on me. She hates that. She's throwing shade on me. She really hates that Megan chick, doesn't she? Well, thanks, Bree.
Starting point is 01:02:13 She spelled Megan's name wrong. She spelled it Megan. So, I mean, she needs to crush up on her Facebook skills a bit, the old Lizzie. That was eye-opening. Thank you very much for that. We're here at the last ever Blockbuster. It's about to close down. It's got just over an hour to go.
Starting point is 01:02:32 Yeah, it's getting quite sad in here now, and obviously we're broadcasting our radio show live from inside the store, and everyone else looking at DVDs is just looking at us being like, what are you doing? What are those guys doing? What are you doing? This is radio. They said that video would
Starting point is 01:02:47 kill the radio star. Well, guess what? We're still here. We're here. We're not. I'm not leaving. I'm not leaving. I'm not leaving. And that's a movie reference. Oh my God, this thing is so interlinked. Now, people might not realise this if they're of a certain age, but before there were things like internet
Starting point is 01:03:04 adult websites, you had to go and get your adult material from a DVD store. Or a gas station. You had to go in there and you had to pick out the one you wanted and you had to take it to the counter and the attendant would go,
Starting point is 01:03:18 oh, so that's what we're watching tonight. And you'd go, just put it in the bag. I think I'd rather not watch it than go through this process. Than go through this process? Than go through that pain and that process. Each video store had a special room at the back, which was adults only. Some of it was just a wall and you went behind the wall and that's where those videos were. I've never been behind this wall slash into this restricted room.
Starting point is 01:03:38 This is possibly your last chance to ever do it. So the Blockbuster in Dargaville that we're at has an adults only room. It says on the door, restricted, 18 years and over. And behind here, Bree, are some movies that I don't think you will have ever seen. So these are what type of rated, R-rated? R-18. R-18.
Starting point is 01:03:57 R-18. Shall we go in? I don't know if Ellie's broadcasting this on Instagram right now. I don't know if you can come in here. But okay, I'm ready to go in. It's been cleared out quite a lot. Obviously, they're the most sought-after DVDs people want these days.
Starting point is 01:04:12 No, it hasn't all been cleared out. Oh, damn. Oh, yep. That's, yeah. No, that. Why? What are you doing? Why are you showing me that?
Starting point is 01:04:19 This is weird. This is a copy of the movie Tit for Tat. Oh, my God. What else have we got? Don't read that one out. Okay. No. What about a copy of, can I read out the title of this one here?
Starting point is 01:04:31 I'm going to say that's a no. No? Okay. Oh, my God. Some of these are quite old, aren't they? What about this copy of Filthy Senoritas? Hey, is that a movie about Camila Cabello's new song? Yeah, I think that is
Starting point is 01:04:45 Oh, right No, you can't look at this one Don't look at that one Aren't you married? I, me? Yeah Yeah Should you be in here?
Starting point is 01:04:55 Well, I'm not doing anything I'm just going through the collection with you That's what he said Oh, what's this one? I'm looking for some titles We can actually read out Oh Jesus There is just
Starting point is 01:05:08 They don't leave anything To the imagination No Like nothing It's just all Just on show They say Don't judge a book
Starting point is 01:05:16 By it's cover But Oh Now they're throwing things Into the adults only room Chris can you come in here This is your DVD store You've got my Woody
Starting point is 01:05:24 In here mate You've got my Woody He here, mate. You've got my Woody. He's throwing a toy Woody the Woodpecker into the R18 room. That's quite good gear. I didn't mind that, Chris. It's not bad, yeah. It sounds pretty good. The R18 room's been packed down. These DVDs... It's a very tiny room in here, Chris. Very tiny room. Very cuddly room, I tell you.
Starting point is 01:05:41 Actually, to be honest, I'm going to get out of here. The carpet's quite sticky. I feel like this room, Chris, and whatever's left of it, you either disinfect or burn, yeah? Yeah, I'm trying to. They're actually going to sell all this stuff, believe it or not. They'll sell all the shelves, just about all the adult movies. Like, let's be real, Chris, if you drop food in here, five-second rule, probably not a good idea.
Starting point is 01:06:01 It doesn't apply. No, probably not the best idea. Brie and Clint. ZM, Brie and Clint. That's it. That's the end of the show. And this, Brie, is the end of an era. This is a part of history, and I am actually really sad. We are here at the last ever Blockbuster store,
Starting point is 01:06:20 which in about three or four minutes' time is going to close its doors for the last time. For the last time. And Chris, you're the owner here at Blockbuster. You've been here for a long, long time. How are you feeling? Sad. Really sad. A bit tear, a bit teary, but, you know, it's going to get there.
Starting point is 01:06:37 Chris, don't do it to me. I will get really upset. Don't do it to you. I'm over here with Wendy, Chris's wife. Are you all right? I'm good. You're actually fine, aren't you. I'm over here with Wendy, Chris's wife. Are you all right? I'm good. You're actually fine, aren't you? Wendy's like, I'm ready to get the hell out of here.
Starting point is 01:06:49 I've only been here for six years. What's your feelings on this moment? It's all coming to an end. How do you feel about it? It is going to be sad, but it's one of those things. The next chapter, right, Wendy? The next chapter. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:07:03 What about for you, Chris? What's next? Always something else. There will always be something in my life, you know. I'll find something out of the job to do. I'll find something else to do and fill in the time. Have you ever thought about a streaming service? I did, actually.
Starting point is 01:07:16 I had a streaming service. I was thinking I heard CDs are coming back into fashion. Yeah, what about that? Have you thought about a CD store? CDs, there we go, there we go. Have you thought about a CD store? CDs, there we go, there we go. Have you thought about a sanity? Yeah. Cody, Cody, sitting up on Cody.
Starting point is 01:07:31 Hey, we didn't laugh with you, Chris. We'd cry. We need to make it, you know, a bit of fun. It's been obviously a massive part of your life, and you can leave here holding your head held high. Yeah, I can, I can, but it's just all sad. You're losing part of your family, basically. Shutting down this business was my life for 23 years,
Starting point is 01:07:53 and yes, I've loved it. I loved everything of it, every comedy, every horror, thriller, you name it. Everything was all just part of my life, and I loved that part of it. Who gets the Frosé machine, Chris? Yeah, can we take that? The slushy machine. Where's the slushy machine going? Has that got a new home?
Starting point is 01:08:10 I believe somebody in Auckland's brought that, but they haven't contacted us yet. Yeah, that was me. I just wanted to pick it up now, if that's okay. If you can carry it out, Bree, it's all yours. Done! Done. We're putting vodka in it. That's a good note
Starting point is 01:08:25 to leave it on I think Chris and Wendy thank you so much for having us in your blockbuster it's been special being a part of your story and this journey
