Starting point is 00:00:00 Uh, one, two. No, they're on. Is this thing working? No, we're on now. Oh, we're good. Cue it, everybody. Minor technical difficulty to open the show with, but hey, we're here now. You would have loved to have seen what just happened.
Starting point is 00:00:13 We turned the mics on, nothing was happening. Panic. Pure panic. I was about to go mental at somebody and go, why is this shit not working? What's going on in here? The studio's broken. Nah, we just forgot to put a button on. I forgot to turn the studio on.
Starting point is 00:00:27 So, cool. Hey, great to be here, everybody. It is a Friday. You, I, all we have to do is get through this afternoon and then we're into the weekend, okay? We are the new kids, Bree and Clint, obviously. We're making mistakes. We today have a chance to win a stack load more free fuel,
Starting point is 00:00:43 thanks to mobile. It's another Free Fuel Friday. Every single caller who gets on the air today is going to win a $50 mobile fuel gift card. All you have to do is say one word on the air with us today and you're getting that free fuel, which is awesome. Also, in the next half an hour, Clinton, we will predict on this show with a psychic pig
Starting point is 00:01:03 the winner of the World Cup for 2018. With a psychic? Pig. Psychic pig. Well, it's actually not even a psychic pig. It's a psychic guinea pig. Next, though, there is a very heated conversation that is going on amongst us,
Starting point is 00:01:17 and I bet you've had this conversation too. It's to do with major flat purchases and the most fair way to split up that cost. We think we may have found some kind of resolution. There's no resolution. Well, maybe we can find one next, okay? Bree and Clint on ZDM. We got into a very heated chat today amongst our group.
Starting point is 00:01:36 You, me, Bree. There was Ben and Ali, our producers. We started talking about what's the protocol when it comes to a flatting situation and a major purchase needs to be made. There's a bit of a standoff at my flat at the moment because a coffee table of some sort needs to be bought and no one's buying it. Yeah. Coffee table is even more interesting because I'm talking fridge, washing machine, those ones, the essentials.
Starting point is 00:02:01 Coffee table could be seen as a luxury. I mean, yes. It's so luxurious. You know? Yeah, true. Ooh la la, someone wants to have a coffee while they watch TV. What are we, in Paris? All right, mate. No, no, no, but it's the same thing. The flat needs something, and you're all renting the place, and you're all going to use it. What is the most fair way to go about paying for it? Now Now I put forward to you the way that I have done it in the past. Yes. And this is both strategical and diplomatic,
Starting point is 00:02:30 I believe. So the most recent one was our flat needed a washing machine. And I knew that I would be moving out of the flat eventually and would need a washing machine. So I said, okay, I'll buy the washing machine. It's $600. Oh, you're so rich. Yeah. But I will charge the flat $150. You guys can split that $150 up and pay me and you have use of the washing machine. But me as the person who paid $450 of the $600 washing machine, I own it. And when I leave, the washing machine goes with me. So it's a one-time payment that they have to pay you to use the washing machine. Yeah. I would never do that.
Starting point is 00:03:10 Why not? It's a good way of doing it. They got a washing machine sorted. There were still three of them, so it was only $50 each, 50 bucks. I was still there for another two years. Were you like, yeah, I don't know. I just would never think that way. I'd probably just buy the washing machine and be like, everyone can use it. I don't care.
Starting point is 00:03:27 What, pay for it outright? Now who's rich? Well, I mean, I wouldn't eat that week, but I'd have fresh clothes. The other way that people do go about it is they go the flat needs a washing machine. $600. There's four of us. I don't like the split thing. $150 each.
Starting point is 00:03:42 You split it fair and square. But then you have issues when someone moves out because they go, well, I own $150 of that washing machine and want my money back. But then you go, no, it's been used for seven months. It's been depreciated. You don't know that much. And then when someone moves in,
Starting point is 00:03:58 do they have to buy into this flat washing machine? They go, well, you have to pay so-and-so's $150 stake because they've moved out. Yeah, I think it needs to be one person. It definitely needs to be one person who's buying it. What if it breaks? Just live by yourself. That's the best way to get around these things.
Starting point is 00:04:21 No one's using your stuff. We're going to throw it out to everybody this afternoon and see if anyone has a more fair solution, a unique solution, maybe something we haven't thought of. And I'll put some parameters around it, okay? Let's go washing machine. The flat, let's say your hypothetical flat
Starting point is 00:04:36 needs a washing machine. Or a fridge. And it's, okay, or a fridge, sure. I was just picking an appliance so that we could be nice and clear. You want to do fridge? Fridge. Okay. Your flat needs a fridge, sure. I was just picking an appliance so that we could be nice and clear. You want to do fridge? Fridge. Okay.
Starting point is 00:04:46 Your flat needs a fridge. How do you get a fridge for the flat? How do you buy big items for your flat? I've got it. You pick it off curbside pickup. And everyone wins. How do you get a working fridge? 0800 dial ZM.
Starting point is 00:05:02 Brie and Clint on ZM. We are tackling a big flat issue at the moment. So your flat needs a major purchase. It needs a fridge, a washing machine, something like that. Couch. Couch is another good one. Everyone sits on the couch. Everyone is using it.
Starting point is 00:05:16 See, I think TV would be a controversial one these days because some would go, I only watch on my laptop. Well, that's fine. But if I ever put Love Island on the main screen, you better not look at it. Does that mean they're not allowed to use the TV? If they kick up a stink, then theoretically it does. That's why it's easier just to be united
Starting point is 00:05:31 and have one solution. We've landed on fridge. If, say, your flat needs a new fridge, what is the best, most fair, most even way of paying for a fridge? Well, there's some texts that have come through on 9696. A lot of people saying rent it. Rent the appliance.
Starting point is 00:05:48 And then everyone, it's split four ways or three ways, however many people are living in the flat. This other person said that they like your idea because you wanted to buy the item yourself and then charge people a certain one-off fee. Yes. So I'll pay the bulk of it and I will come clean with my ulterior motives.
Starting point is 00:06:06 If you have the cash to put up for that, it's a great way to get all the appliances you need to stock out an entire house one day slightly cheaper. But then it's also wear and tear on everything for two years. Exactly. And that's why you charge them a little bit. That's why you charge them a little bit of the
Starting point is 00:06:22 total cost. Renee, what do you reckon? Yeah, I rented a washing machine and a fridge with my flatmate. How much did that cost, Renee? A washing machine, I think, was like $9 a week, and there were three of us. Okay. When we all moved out of the flat and I actually moved in with my now fiancé, we kept renting that washing machine for about four years until we just bought one last year. So that's like $468 a year.
Starting point is 00:06:48 Yeah, it's a lot, but it was easy when you were flatting and you went through flatmates. You can buy one for that cost. Yeah, but then you have the whole who owns it. Yeah, exactly. It's like being in a relationship with four people and then you have to split up everything at the end. Okay, Craig, tell me you've got an answer.
Starting point is 00:07:07 The answer is, why are you guys trying to buy brand new appliances? Buy something secondhand that's cheap and then you all get your use out of it and then when someone moves out, it doesn't matter because it was so cheap because you split it four ways or whatever. See, I've lived with someone before where we did that
Starting point is 00:07:22 and we bought a $100 washing machine and there were three of us and it was secondhand. And when they moved out, they wanted $33 back. They wanted $33.30 back for their- God, how cheap was your flatmate? That one person. Yeah, get a bit of flatmates. Yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 00:07:36 Yes, great. Exactly. Good idea. Ben, you got a solution? Yeah, I reckon one person just pays for it outright. But I think if you set up your flat so one person's kind of in charge of the tenancy, they're on the agreement and they
Starting point is 00:07:49 cover all those sorts of things, but they are paying a little bit less rent. You know, one person's responsible for kind of the flat and everyone's kind of subletting off there. That's interesting. And then they get a discount. All sorts of problems, yeah. It's like, or if you sign up for a tenancy
Starting point is 00:08:05 and then you kind of have people who come and board with you or whatever, you know, like... Yeah. What if that person... Yeah, that person has to be trustworthy, though, because you're giving them all the power. Because if that was me
Starting point is 00:08:14 and then I was like, I get cheap rent, I'll go and buy you guys the cheapest appliances I can as well. You know? Like, really try and skim as much off as possible. I took a couch off the back of this trailer once, me and my friend, and we lugged it up my street and we pretended that we bought it for the flat,
Starting point is 00:08:29 but it was just off the curb. And how much did you charge them? 50 bucks each. Brie and Clint on ZDM. Clinton, the World Cup final, mate. It's on Monday morning. It's a massive game. Croatia v France.
Starting point is 00:08:47 A lot of money to be made if you can figure out who's going to win this game. And the best way to decide on who you're going to put your bets on or who you're going to back is to get a psychic pig and we will decide that for you this afternoon. You've been pushing for a psychic pig for about 24 hours now. You gave B&R Producer the job of finding a real pig to come into the studio to pick the winner. That's also a psychic pig for about 24 hours now. You gave Ben, our producer, the job of finding a real pig to come into the studio to pick the winner. That's also a psychic. Bit of a hard challenge.
Starting point is 00:09:10 We searched, producer Ben looked around, no psychic pigs. No psychic pigs in Auckland. Well, none that were available to come in today. No, and that's how I make all my big decisions in life, Clint, is with a psychic pig. Yeah, yeah, no relationship you've gone into has ever not involved a pig. I guess I'm there, so that makes sense. Right.
Starting point is 00:09:30 We don't have a psychic pig, but we do have a psychic guinea pig. Yes. Thanks to the people at Bird Barn Pet Store in Auckland, we have what we believe to be Auckland's only psychic guinea pig. That's what's on her website. She has blood red eyes. She's an albino. And a pale coat.
Starting point is 00:09:48 Apparently she's an albino guinea pig. She's so cute. Her name's Franks. We are going to get her to try and predict the World Cup final. Before that, I thought we could test out her psychic credentials by giving her a foregone conclusion already, like something that we know the answer to. And if this pig has watched any Love Island at all
Starting point is 00:10:07 It'll be easy. It'll be easy. So on the ground we have a picture of Grant and Taylor and a picture of Erin and Eden. There's a piece of apple on both pictures. We're going to drop Franks in the middle directly in the middle. Whoever she goes to first
Starting point is 00:10:19 we will know. Amira, could you please place our soon to be psychic guinea pig in position. Get in position Frankto-be psychic guinea pig in position? Get in position, Franks, the psychic guinea pig. Here we go. She's placed her. She's looking to the left, which is Grant and Taylor.
Starting point is 00:10:35 No, but she's going to the right. Oh. Come on, Franks. Pig, don't go to that one. Come on, Franks. Pig, go left. Franks, go the other way. Grant and Taylor, Pig. Grant and Taylor. Come on. Shes. Pig, don't go to that one. Come on, Franks. Pig, go left. Franks, go the other way. Grant and Taylor, Pig.
Starting point is 00:10:47 Grant and Taylor. Come on. She's getting a sense. She's making guinea pig noises. She's getting a sense. She's getting a sense. Oh, she's moving towards Grant and Taylor. Just onto the back.
Starting point is 00:10:56 Oh, she's just missed it. Is that... Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Oh, she's coming back. Don't yell, don't yell. She's done it. Be quiet. We don't want to scare her. She's done it. She's done it right. She's done it. Be quiet. We don't want to scare her.
Starting point is 00:11:06 She's done it right. She is on top of Grant and Taylor. She's legit. She's nibbling some apple. Okay, Amira, we need you to scoop her up, and we need to quickly change out the flags to be the representation for Croatia and the one for France. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:11:19 I'm so excited. This is where we find out the real money. She's a psychic. She's a psychic guinea pig. She's a psychic pig. She wasn't interested in Eden and Erin at all. It's 100% proven. We are now going to predict the winner of the World Cup
Starting point is 00:11:32 based on the psychic guinea pig, Franks. And now can we get as much apple on both flags as we possibly can, please? This is exciting. I really hope our pig isn't full from all that apple that it just ate. Come on, Franks. It's your time to shine.
Starting point is 00:11:47 Amira, please place our psychic pig back between the flag of Croatia and the flag of France. Come on, Franks. Oh, she's looking at Croatia. Oh, she's looking at Croatia. She's doing a 360. She's pointing her bum to France. She's going towards France. Everyone be quiet. Be quiet. Oh, my God. bum to France. She's going towards France. Everyone be quiet, be quiet.
Starting point is 00:12:08 Oh my God. It's France! It's France! The winner of the 2018 World Cup will be France! You heard it here and only here. As foretold by New Zealand's only psychic guinea pig. She's available for bookings. France will be victorious in the Football World Cup this Monday. Congratulations to France.
Starting point is 00:12:33 Vive la France. Sorry to the Croats who are listening. That's not French. Go the French. So last night I had a few people round to my place for dinner and we were all just hanging out and having a few drinks and eating some food. And then one of the people in the group says,
Starting point is 00:12:54 oh, let's get on someone's Tinder and Apple Airplay it on the TV. I love this game. So technically group Tindering. Group Tinder. Fun for you, fun for everyone watching, especially fun for the people in relationships who don't usually get to go on Tinder. They get to see your Tinder,
Starting point is 00:13:13 and they get to play Tinder on your Tinder. It's risk-free Tinder. It was so weird because Ross Boss, who works here, was like, I've never even seen Tinder. I've never been on it. He actually introduced his wife, Stacey, to Facebook. That's how long ago they got together. So some people have never experienced Tinder.
Starting point is 00:13:30 Whenever somebody says to me, I've got no idea what Tinder is, that sounds to me like someone who's trying to hide a secret Tinder. True that. I'm so monogamous, I don't even know what Tinder is. Things really took a turn though when my housemate, Annabelle, she offered up her Tinder for us to play with. Yeah. I don't even know what Tinder is. Things really took a turn though when my housemate Annabelle, she offered up her Tinder for us to play with. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:51 And one of the guys in the group, my friend Alan, who's visiting at the moment, he's taking control of it. And, I mean, he was a bit harsh on the poor guys, you know, just looking for a date on Tinder. And he was swiping left on everyone. Like no one was getting a shot. No one was making the cut. No one was making a cut.
Starting point is 00:14:11 Was he letting Annabelle be the judge of her own destiny at all? Because that's the beauty of group Tinder. True. Is you take it out of the person's hands, but the group should decide. It was a group decision. And as a group, we should go, okay. Do we like Todd? For you. You know, he's got dogs.
Starting point is 00:14:25 Yeah. He's good looking. He's got a great photo in know, he's got dogs. Yeah. He's good looking. He's got a great photo in front of us in the sand skyline. Yeah, stuff like that. I actually recorded a little bit of the absolute havoc happening in my lounge room last night. Take a listen. What's his job?
Starting point is 00:14:38 I want to know what's deeper than, what is he deeper than? Oh. Deeper than design. Oh, Ernest. You're sick. He's got curls. Grew up in USA. Yes, Ask him where I grewest. He's got curls. Grew up in USA, yes. Ask him where I grew up.
Starting point is 00:14:47 He's a wannabe. A lot of opinions. A lot of opinions flying around, this, that and the other. And we finally landed on this one guy. And let's just say when there's five people talking to one guy, you don't really imagine when you're sitting at home, he thinks he's having a conversation with Annabelle. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:07 But he's actually talking to five of us. Turns out he liked all five of us. Yeah. Because we all had input on the conversation. So you know what that means, eh? What? You've got to go on a date as a six-people date. Brie and Clint on ZDM.
Starting point is 00:15:22 Hey. It's my birthday. It's my birthday. Brie and Clint on ZDM. It's my birthday. It's my birthday. Brie and Clint's Birthday Banger. Alright, the special birthday birthday banger edition of Birthday Banger, where if you call up, if it's your birthday today, usually
Starting point is 00:15:35 it doesn't have to be your birthday. Usually it doesn't matter, but today because we're giving out mobile fuel vouchers to everyone who gets on here, we thought, why not make it a birthday edition? It'll be fun. So you call us up with your birthday. We put it into a computer. It figures out what song was number one on your 16th birthday. Let's go Courtney first.

All right, Courtney, you were 16 in 2001 on the 13th of July, and this is your birthday banger. You can stand under my umbrella. You can dance under my umbrella. You can dance under my umbrella.

Starting point is 00:16:20 Let's go to Mel. Hello, Mel. Hello. Happy birthday for today. Oh, yeah. Happy birthday. How old are you turning? You never ask a lady.
Starting point is 00:16:31 I'm 39 today. Happy 39th birthday. Plenty more good years left in those ties, Mel. Oh, goodness. So that means you would have been 16 in 1995, Mel, on the 13th of July. Yes. And this would have been top of the charts. been 16 in 1995, Mel, on the 13th of July. Yeah. And this would have been top of the charts. Hold the phone.
Starting point is 00:16:55 I think we've got a new lead contender, Mel. What a ripper. That's a great one. That's a great tune, Mel. Do you remember what you were doing on your 16th? Oh, I have to bring her back. Mel, yeah. It's been a long time.
Starting point is 00:17:08 She was having a very responsible time, I'd say. Last up, Simba. Hi, Simba. G'day, how's it going? Very well. What's your birthday? 13th of July, 1996. Okay, Simba, you were 16 in 2012 on the 13th of July,
Starting point is 00:17:22 and this was Top of the Charts. What a banger, Simarts. Oh, no. What a banger, Simba. Yes, Simba. You can get down to a bit of Carly Rae, can you? Oh, I can always get down to a bit of anything. Yeah, okay, cool. I like your style, Simba.
Starting point is 00:17:38 Happy birthday. Now, the last few days, you've been saying to me to go first because you've been too scared to put your name on the line. I wanted to say it at the exact same time. All right. Okay, we've got Umbrella, we've been saying to me to go first because you've been too scared to put your name on the line. I want us to say it at the exact same time. Alright. Okay, we've got umbrella, we've got call me maybe, and we've got waterfalls. Say it on three. Yep. One, two, three. Waterfalls. We didn't...
Starting point is 00:17:55 We said on three. I knew you'd be with me. I was with you. I knew it. That means, Mel, we're about to play your birthday banger. Happy birthday. Yay, thank you. No worries. Brie and Clint, ZM, this is birthday banger.
Starting point is 00:18:17 Brie and Clint on ZM. Oh, plain etiquette. I mean, there's the do's and there's the don'ts. We're not talking about the mile high club. Do put your seatbelt on. Don't bring on a Stanley knife. Yes, standard. We're talking about domestic flights here
Starting point is 00:18:32 because one of my mates dropped this into the conversation really casually the other night where she said she likes to go number twos on domestic flights. We're talking like when you're on the flight for an hour. We're talking from Auckland to Hamilton. Now, this rocked us more than we thought it would. I'm shook. Initially, when you said it, I was like, well, if you've got to go,
Starting point is 00:18:58 you've got to go. It's your right. Because I delved deeper and I said, oh, you know, a one-off. And she goes, no, pretty much every time. Then I thought more and more about it. The length of the longest domestic flight in New Zealand is like just under two hours. That's it.
Starting point is 00:19:16 That's it. Not long. Not long. And the flight, the planes that are doing these flights. They're not big. They're not big. And at any time, at any time that you go to use the toilet on a domestic flight, it's very close to the people that are sat next to the toilet.
Starting point is 00:19:32 That is the worst seat on the airplane. It is a crappy seat, I was going to say. International. International, different story. You can be on there for 18 hours at a time. That's fair enough. You know, and they serve you two to three meals. You're a human being.
Starting point is 00:19:47 You've got to go. And a cup of coffee. Things happen. Your body has a cycle. It doesn't matter whether you're over the international date line or not. Movements take place. But a domestic flight? She was so casual about it and thought that everyone was doing it.
Starting point is 00:20:01 And I was like, mate, no one is doing that. The whole group was so shook. They were like, we can't even talk to you. I don't think, and I've reflected on this quite a lot. Like I said, it has shaken me to the core. I've reflected on this quite a lot. I don't think I've ever seen anybody use the toilet on a domestic flight, whether it's for number ones or number twos.
Starting point is 00:20:19 Really? I don't think I've ever seen anyone get up to use it. So much so that I'm thinking of the planes that go, like in New Zealand, if they go from Auckland to Taupo, like it's normally the ones that have got propellers on them. Yeah. I don't know if there's a toilet on there. No, there has to be a toilet on there.
Starting point is 00:20:35 But I haven't seen one. No, but there has to be. But I haven't, like, but that's the thing. So we know that you're not on board the number twos on a domestic flight then. Look, look, if you've got bodily issues and you need to go, no one's shaming you for that, okay? But just as a general rule, like as a, ooh, seatbelt off,
Starting point is 00:20:53 going to go and have a sit down. Like if you can hold it, probably hold it. Like it's not the mile high club, it's the mile pile club. Do you? Oh, no. club. Do you? We're going to go there this afternoon. We're going to. Yeah, we are.
Starting point is 00:21:16 Keep it nice though. Do you? Have you? Would you? Are you? Will you? Don't call us from the plane. Are you an air hostess?
Starting point is 00:21:30 Is there an unspoken rule? Is there like a standard of etiquette? Are you a pilot? We'd love to hear from the pilots, the flight attendants, just people. If you're doing it, if you want to own up to it, we'd love to hear from you. 0800 dial ZM. And the question is,
Starting point is 00:21:46 do you go number twosies on a plane that's a domestic flight? Bree and Clint on ZM. The question we're asking this afternoon, is it okay to do number twos on a domestic flight? One of my friends said the other night that she does it all the time. It's one of the things that I've never considered. Like I've never had a hard and fast rule about it but I've just now that you've put it to me it's one of those things that I go no, no, no. Probably not. I'm one of those people I'm terrified to go into
Starting point is 00:22:14 an aeroplane bathroom. I'm so terrified of it. I try and avoid it at all costs. What about Auckland to Australia like Sydney three and a half hours. I'll hold it. I will. I'm telling you, I'm scared. We're just trying to get a bit of consensus this afternoon. Patrick, you are a flight attendant.
Starting point is 00:22:31 That I am. Is there a rule around it? Oh, there's no rule because you can use them anytime the seatbelt sign is off. But we do have people that as soon as the seatbelt sign is off, they'll go in there and spend almost the entire flight between Auckland and Wellington on this. What? They're sending a one-hour flight? Yep. And what, they'll be in there? They'll be in there the whole time?
Starting point is 00:22:57 Yeah, almost. Well, I feel bad for them because obviously they've had a bad... Either that or they're just antisocial. Stacey, what are your thoughts? i think it's absolutely grotty i've been on a flight to brunei and that was about 17 hours and i felt sick because i physically couldn't even walk down the aisle to go i had to hold it oh you're a whole nother issue so you don't want to do it on the plane even if it's like a 24-hour flight oh Oh, how no? Like not even a public toilet. You watch all the people going down and you're going, oh, I can, nah, nah, no thank you.
Starting point is 00:23:31 You would have been sick after that, Stacey. I felt so awful. I literally lived on watermelon in Brunei too. Like it was terrible. Oh, no. My trip wasn't the best, but when I got home, it was, oh, heaven. Thank you. And that's what we're hearing as well.
Starting point is 00:23:44 Some people are saying that it's unfair that we're having this conversation. They said, mate, you don't know what cabin pressure does to the body. Yeah, I have heard that. I have heard that it kind of, you know, twists the bells. Yeah, and they say that's why that, because apparently, and this is getting quite graphic for a Friday afternoon, and we will leave it shortly. Apparently, when you open the door, you open the air seal
Starting point is 00:24:06 on a long haul flight. You know how there's the air greeters who meet you on the other side of the air bridge? Apparently, there is a, like a stench
Starting point is 00:24:13 that comes out of the plane that you don't know about because you've been inside the plane the whole time. because we're sitting in our own filth. Exactly. Oh, God.
Starting point is 00:24:21 Exactly. The ones that have been going for 18 hours at Smelton. Not great. Yeah, that's going too far have been going for 18 hours at Smelton. Not great. Yeah, that's going too far. There is a whole bunch of texts from people saying we didn't realise that this was even a thing, that we had the ability to do that.
Starting point is 00:24:33 But largely people are saying nah. It's the same as putting your chair back on a domestic flight. What, so don't put your chair back? And don't go number twos, mate. Brie and Clint on ZDM. This is exciting, Brie. I'm super excited. This is our second ever musical guest.
Starting point is 00:24:47 Welcome to the show, Troye Sivan. Hey. Hey. Wait, why am I your second ever only? We've just started. Yeah, we're new. Oh. Like, real new.
Starting point is 00:24:54 Cool. Still on our three-month probation, so. Nice. Wait, who was the first? Amy Shark. Oh, cool. Another Aussie. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:02 Nice. A lot of Aussies on this show. Yeah. Do you know anyone on this show already? And this is a leading question. Have I met you before? Ooh. Why do you think it's me?
Starting point is 00:25:13 Because you have a familiar face, maybe? Hmm. Let me paint a picture for you. Okay. We get a group message from Bree last week. What? And she is losing her biscuit. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:23 Because someone has watched her Instagram story and it was you. What did you do? I can't remember what was before it, but I know that on that story, I was talking about the garlic bread chips and how much I was loving them. I do remember you.
Starting point is 00:25:41 There we go. We made the connection. That is so weird. Yeah. That's strange, isn't it? And when did this happen? Like a week ago? Yeah, like a week ago. Amazing. And I happened to be looking through and I was like, why is Troye Sivan
Starting point is 00:25:51 looking at my story? Watching my stories about my garlic bread. Yeah. While you're here, we want to play a quick game with you. Cool. Okay, seeing as you saw Bree's Instagram and you are so about Instagram as well, we have got a game called the Insta Fame Game. You keen to play? Yeah, sounds good. Okay, let's give it a go.
Starting point is 00:26:06 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. So how it works is I'm going to give you a celebrity from Instagram and you have 10 seconds to guess, to the best of your knowledge, how many people you think follow that person. Oh my God. I don't want Troy to see me
Starting point is 00:26:29 when I get competitive. Well, that's it. Yeah. It's not my best angle. She kind of changes into a different person when we play these games. So if she starts screaming at you,
Starting point is 00:26:39 please know that we'll all be friends after the game. I'll just scream right back. Excellent. Bring it then, Troy. All you have to do is write down your thoughts.
Starting point is 00:26:46 Okay. Think out loud as best you can and hand me the sheet at the end of the 10 seconds. Make sense? Yep. First to three. Hey, Troy, run at me. Run at you?
Starting point is 00:26:57 First celebrity. Run it straight, all right? Ariana Grande. I should know this. Time is running out. You need to write something down and hand it to me. I'm in. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:27:12 Score's in. Oh, no. Okay. Brie, you have wrote 70 million Instagram followers for Ariana Grande. I think I just remembered how much it is. Troy, you have written 107 million Instagram followers. You know her and you just did a song with her, so I'm not going to feel as bad as you if I'm wrong.
Starting point is 00:27:30 I think, wait, can I take a second guess? It's not my real guess. This is my real guess on the paper, but can I just so that everyone knows? Yeah, you can. Is it 86? The correct answer is 123 million. What?
Starting point is 00:27:42 Damn it. That's a point to Troy. Okay, next person. Give your sheets back. Here we Damn it. Go. There's a point to Troy. Okay, next person. Give you a sheets pack. Here we go. Next person. Katy Perry. Troy Savant looked at mine.
Starting point is 00:27:55 He's cheating. You're cheating. Now I'm looking at yours. Okay, scores are in. We're so similar. We're very close. Brie, you have said 84 million. Troy Sav very close. Brie, you have said 84 million. Troye Sivan, for Katy Perry, you have said 89 million.
Starting point is 00:28:10 Katy Perry has 70 million Instagram followers. Point to Brie. Me! That's me! Can you pull it cool for one second? Me! That's me! It's just a game, just a game.
Starting point is 00:28:22 Okay. Next celebrity. Yep. Ladies and gentlemen, please tell me, how many Instagram followers does Hillary Clinton have? Oh, God. That's a pure guess. Yeah, I think this is going to be surprising.
Starting point is 00:28:41 Can wear the hell out of a pantsuit, though. Recently in New Zealand. Thank you for your scores. Oh, my God. We're so close again. Oh, no. It's currently to be surprising. Can wear the hell out of a pantsuit, though. Recently in New Zealand. Thank you for your scores. Oh, my God, we're so close again. It's currently one all. Brie, you have written 21 million. Troye Sivan, you have put 18 million. 18 million.
Starting point is 00:28:55 Hillary Clinton has 4.1 million Instagram followers. Point to Troye Sivan. Can I say, you both drastically overestimated Hillary Clinton's Instagram influence. Well, you'd think that she would have a couple Hillary Clinton's Instagram influence Well you'd think That she would have A couple more than that Well you'd think that she should
Starting point is 00:29:07 A couple more And she might be president How many does she have? 4.1 million Oh she's doing okay 2-1 To Troye Sivan God damn it
Starting point is 00:29:16 You can win the game here How many do we do? First to three Oh Okay so you take this point You could win But you're not going to Okay
Starting point is 00:29:22 How many Instagram followers Does Troye Savant have? I knew this was coming. Oh, my God. Oh, no. You can do this. No. You can do this.
Starting point is 00:29:38 What if I'm not? I don't want to offend you. His numbers are public. You've got as much access to how many people follow him as Troy does. I was going to. I was going to look this morning. And I don't think Troy checks, so, you've got as much access to how many people follow him as Troy does. I was going to look this morning. And I don't think Troy checks. So, you know.
Starting point is 00:29:48 As if. No, I don't check often. Okay. Okay. Oh, that's so unfair. Bree, you have put 8 million. Troy, you have put 8 million. That means it's a tie because Troy has 8.6 million.
Starting point is 00:30:05 God damn it. I didn't even check and I knew that. We're still at tie break. That's kind of creepy. One more celebrity, okay? One more person. I'll give you your sheets back. Get your head in the game Zac Efron, get your head in the game, Troy. Brie and Troy Savan
Starting point is 00:30:22 for the Insta Fame game. Is it mine? Please tell me how many Instagram followers The Weeknd has this is really hard I did my lucky number what's your lucky number?

Starting point is 00:30:56 Yep. You have put 18 million. I love how you thought the weekend and Hillary Clinton had the same amount. Yeah, well, I'm really shocked by that. The Weeknd has 18.2 million Instagram followers. The game goes to Josephine. I nailed that. Wow.
Starting point is 00:31:17 I got that closer than I did my own Instagram. You've had enough success. Share it around a bit, will you? Yeah, sorry. Thank you for coming in to visit us. Thanks so much. That was so fun. The new album comes out this August.

Starting point is 00:31:34 Thanks, Troy Savant. Thanks, Troy. Thanks so much. Brie and Clint on ZDM. At the moment, Clint, one of my best mates, Alan, he's in town. He's visiting me from Australia.
Starting point is 00:31:43 Love Alan. And we talked about him last week because I came to the table and said, I thought he was coming all the way here to visit me. But turns out he was coming to visit me, but also to rendezvous with one of the really good looking lads who works here at ZM. Yeah. Cam Mansell. Yeah. They've been on a couple of, you know, lunches and that kind of thing. Did you feel used? Like, did you feel like you were just the accommodation for their rendezvous? To be honest. Did you feel like a conduit in their sexual rendezvous? I just
Starting point is 00:32:16 want my friends to be happy. And this is me being honest. And when I found out, I was like, oh, that's nice. I didn't care. Right. I was just happy to have my mate here. This is where the story goes a bit south. So for the last week, Alan, six foot five, man, big man. Big man. Him and I have been sharing a bed. I imagined him smaller. Six foot five.
Starting point is 00:32:39 We've been sharing a bed. We've been sharing a bathroom. We've been sharing a room for the last week. That'd be nice for you just to have someone in the room again. No, it has been nice. Have some human contact. He's been great company. There's been a few times I've had to kick him off me. Get off me.
Starting point is 00:32:54 Sad. All right, okay. Anyway, I said to him earlier this morning, because I've looked in the shower, I had a shower this morning, and I've got body wash, but then I've also got this thing from Lush, which is like a, it's a facial bar of soap. You always know when you're 10 metres from a Lush, eh? Because you can smell it.
Starting point is 00:33:14 You can smell it from miles away. Love Lush. And this is an exfoliating bar of soap for your face. La-dee-da. And it's fancy. Yeah. And it smells really pretty. Anyway, I've noticed recently, because I usually lean it on the side of this container in the fancy. Yeah. And it smells really pretty. Anyway, I've noticed recently,
Starting point is 00:33:25 because I usually lean it on the side of this container in the shower so it doesn't stick to the bottom, and I noticed this morning that the bar of soap is sitting flat in the container. And I was like, oh, well, that's annoying because now it's stuck inside the container. I need to probably ask Alan, you know, probably leave it on the side, you know. And I said to my mate Alan, I said, have you been using that, you know,
Starting point is 00:33:50 the bar of soap for my face? You just need to leave it kind of, you know, sitting on the thing. He goes, what do you mean for your face? And at this point my stomach has dropped and I said, what did you say? And he said, what do you mean for your face? I said, yeah, it's a bar of soap, exfoliating bar of soap for my face. And he goes, oh. And the look on his face told me the whole story that he'd been using
Starting point is 00:34:21 that bar of soap for the whole past week on his body. On all of his bits. It's been on his armpits. On his armpits. It's been on his man business. It's been on his bottom. And I've taken that bar of soap. It's been on Ellen's mini Ellen.
Starting point is 00:34:41 And it's been on your face. Frank's in the base. Technically, Ellen, my face has been on Ellen's face. I think Ellen needs to take a trip to Lush for you before he goes home. I need to take a trip to the clinic before I go home. Brie and Clint on ZDM. One of the best openers in the game.

That's awesome. How good's free fuel? So good. Brie and Clint on ZDM. This time last night, we were talking about that new beer,
Starting point is 00:37:52 the chocolate beer that Whittaker's and Garage Project have created together as a collaboration. Pretty much they're saying it's a whole bar of Whittaker's chocolate inside a beer. It sounds over the top. And especially the way that Kiwis drink beers too. There's a lot of blocks of chocolate in the course of one night, right? Right.
Starting point is 00:38:11 Too much. So it's limited edition and you'll be able to get your hands on it on July 16th. But we've actually got a couple of cans of it in the studio right now. It's the magic of radio, right? You just talk about it and then it appears. And boom. Out of nowhere. We're going to do a taste test for you so that
Starting point is 00:38:26 if it sucks, you don't waste your money. Here we go. Oh, I've heard someone said to me it's like a can of Guinness. Really? So they said it's like real thick. So they said there's not a whole block of chocolate in there, there's a whole block of Whitaker's cacao nibs in there.
Starting point is 00:38:41 Yeah, I'm pouring the whole beer into a glass right now. Oh, she looks thick. Yeah. Oh, she is. She's thick. Because where does the... I understand the chocolate fizzy drink,
Starting point is 00:38:51 but where does the beer... Oh, you've got a better head than me. Look at it. It all sinks to the bottom. Cheers. Hey, cheers. Happy Friday. Happy Friday to you.
Starting point is 00:38:59 Happy end of our second week. Good luck. Oh, it's definitely a dark chocolate. There's definitely a whole block of nibs in there. That's a lot of nibs. I mean, it kind of tastes like Guinness. Actually, I haven't had Guinness. What would you know?
Starting point is 00:39:21 I know nothing. It doesn't taste like chocolate. I thought it'd be more chocolatey. It tastes like, you know the real bitter side of dark chocolate? Mmm. It's like that. I wanted this to taste like a chocolate bar and a beer at the same time. I want it to pretty much taste like chocolate milk.
Starting point is 00:39:38 It's not horrible. I quite like Garage Project too, and I love Whittaker's. I don't hate it. Don't you? You can have mine. I better not finish this before the end of the show. What percentage is it? Have a look.
Starting point is 00:39:52 4.7%. Oh, yeah, it's standard. 1.2 standard drinks. Well, give it a score. Can you give it a score out of five? Out of five, I'm going to give it three and a half. Yeah, okay. Three and a half of these and I'd be steamed.
Starting point is 00:40:06 Brie and Clint on ZDM. I promised you earlier the secret to a long and healthy life. I read this today. I've been waiting all afternoon for this. A Tokoroa woman by the name of Joan. Yes. Tokoroa, very near where I grew up, by the way. Usually abbreviated to Toke.
Starting point is 00:40:24 Toke. That's what they call the place. She's 99. 99. And that's not her secret to long life, by the way. 99. She now lives at the Victoria Place Rest Home, and she is adorable, by the way.
Starting point is 00:40:37 God, I love old people. Yeah. Oh, they just hit me right in the heartstrings. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. She's healthy. She's fit and healthy. Some people can be 99 and they look 71.
Starting point is 00:40:49 She's never had any major health issues. Okay. She's been to hospital once because she needed a new hip. And that just wears out. That's not an illness. Her hip just wore out. They threw in a new hip and she was right to go. So, yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 00:41:02 Patched her up. Patched her up and Joan was on her way. Give her a slap on the butt and say, off you go, Joan, back into the world. So when someone is that healthy, naturally you start going, what's your secret? What's your secret?
Starting point is 00:41:14 What's your secret? 100%. I've heard before some people have said a healthy sex life is the secret. Eating healthy. Eating healthy. Not drinking. Joan's secret to living to 99.
Starting point is 00:41:25 Oh, here we go. Is very, no, it's very simple and you can do it too. Okay. Joan eats a lot of bananas. And this is, you laugh. She's 99, okay? You can have all the science you want, but those scientists haven't lived as long and healthy as Joan has.
Starting point is 00:41:41 Is this proven or is this what Joan's saying? Joan's still alive. Joan's still fit and healthy. Is Joan a doctor? Joan said, I don't like them green. Right. A lot of the old people like them green. I don't like them squishy.
Starting point is 00:41:56 Neither. I like them firm. I have one every day and I just eat them, whether they're good or bad for me. She doesn't know, but she has said that she believes the reason she is 99, fit and healthy, happy, with grandchildren
Starting point is 00:42:12 and great-grandchildren is because she eats a lot of bananas. How many bananas is she eating? One a day, minimum. Every single day, seven a week. She also likes to get out of bed at 6.30 every morning and make a big... Nah, I'm out.
Starting point is 00:42:26 Brie and Clint on ZDM. I can't believe I haven't told you this already, but you know how I went to Taiwan recently? Yeah, to do the world's shortest interview with Paul Rudd. Yeah, it went for about two minutes. I travelled 14 hours. I mean, worth it, kind of. You were in a bad headspace, you know?
Starting point is 00:42:41 You did the best you could. I did. And something I learnt when I was in Taiwan, I found so interesting and absolutely blew my mind. I was talking with one of the locals there and unfortunately his uncle had passed away recently. Right. And he was telling me, he's like, yeah, I'm really excited for the funeral.
Starting point is 00:43:00 And I was like, what do you mean you're excited for the funeral? And he goes, goes oh you know in taiwan it's a customary to have like a big celebration at the funeral and that's how they kind of deal with someone passing right and usually the older the person the bigger the celebration okay but the thing that i found the most interesting it's a customary in Taiwan at a lot of funerals to have strippers. No. At the funeral. A stripper at a funeral?
Starting point is 00:43:29 Multiple. What? To send off the person who's passed away into a happy afterlife. So just at male funerals? I don't know. I didn't ask him that. That seems horrifically inappropriate. Isn't that strange?
Starting point is 00:43:44 Because I'm just picturing... I didn't ask him that. That seems horrifically inappropriate. Isn't that strange? Because I'm just picturing, I'm picturing the family and I'm picturing the mum or the wife. I'm picturing the stripper. Does the stripper want to do that? Does she want to be? Apparently they get paid the big bucks to do the funerals, mate. Apparently that's where it's at. Is this real?
Starting point is 00:44:03 Is this real or are we tarnishing the good people of Taiwan? So I looked into it and there's actually been a documentary made about it. It's called Dancing for the Dead, Funeral Strippers in Taiwan and we've grabbed some audio of one of the strippers who actually sings as well. If you want to look this up, she's
Starting point is 00:44:23 putting on a show. I mean, the guy who's passed away can't really enjoy it, but for everyone else. Right. Do they... Is there more or...? Nah, that's... Yeah, pretty budget. And this might seem bad taste. Is there a...
Starting point is 00:44:42 Because I've been to stag do's where there's strippers, and obviously you know who the guest of honour is in that situation. Does the guest of honour at a funeral does he get a lap dance? Play the song. What? You're the one who
Starting point is 00:44:57 brought up strippers at funerals.
