Hello everybody and welcome to the Brie and Clint podcast. You're going to hear in the show today, by the way Brie's still in Fiji, she'll be back in a couple of weeks and we're going to get her on the show tomorrow because there's something happening on the show tomorrow that she doesn't know about that she needs to be a part of. By the way in the show today you're going to hear about a legal gambling rink, ring? Rink? Circuit? Illegal gambling, what's the word?

Sweepstake. Sweepstake. Based around my unborn child, which is due any day-ish. Yeah. The office has put bets on birth date, weight, and gender. Gender. Race. And name.

And name. Inside Scoop, producer Ben knows the baby's name. Do you? Yeah, I do. But I haven't put it down because I'm not going to do that. Especially because now you've told everyone that. No, this is just a podcast. This is just a podcast.

No one at ZDM listens to our podcast. Have you confided in Ben? By accident. Oh, no. I told him when I was drunk after the rugby. And I forgot. And then he comes in to me today and he goes, hey, um so, uh

Is it this? No, he goes, am I cool to put down the name that you told me? From what I remember, I only told you the girl's option. Correct. And we don't know the gender, so there's a girl and a boy's option. Interesting, okay. And the name we gave you is definitely only for the girl. Yeah. So still fitty fitty. Yeah. Correct. And we don't know the gender, so there's a girl and a boy's option. Interesting, okay. And the name we gave you is definitely only for the girl.

Yeah. So, still fitty-fitty. Yeah, true. And I've gone and put a guy down. I'm so curious now. Yeah, so I don't think he's allowed to pick girl. No, I haven't. No, if you know it, you can't. And I haven't now.

Yeah, right, okay. So unfortunate, because... Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, gutted for you. Oh, interesting. To be fair, though, if you had gone with the name that I'd given you

and then the baby was born and you chose that and it was correct, people would go, how the F did you get that? They'd be like,

well obviously he was told. Oh, so it's an unusual maybe name. I don't know. I just don't think you're expecting it. Oh, okay, okay.

Oh, I'm really excited now. I want to be a girl just so I find this name out. I also think it might be a name that the grandparents go. Actually, no, 50% of the grandparents, some of the grandparents will go, oh, that name. Yeah, yeah. Oh, now I'm really curious.

Peter. Interesting. It's Peter. Peter. Yeah, Peter the girl. Peter for you. Okay, cool. So that's just some insider knowledge before you get to hear.

Obviously, you're going to hear the sweepstake play out when we come to it shortly. It happened early in the show today. Ben knows. So he's doing all of this. Ben actually knows. I feel so left out right now in this room. I can give you the boy one. True.

And then you can have a girl bit. True. Yeah. Or I could just shut my mouth because Lucy told me I'm not allowed to tell anyone. And then to find out that I've been blabbing to Ben, who else have I told? Yeah, who else have I told? Yeah, true. Did I tell Tammy Davis?

Yep. Oh, no. But he won't remember. He won't remember. I had to get him home. He will not remember. Okay, here's today's podcast, everybody. Enjoy.

Kia ora, everybody. Welcome to the show, Brie and Clint. How are you going, Brie? Good. I was hoping Ellie would do an impersonation of Brie. We're still Brie-less. We are still, we're only, we're like a horse with two legs on this show. No, that's a bad comparison.

What are we? Well, I guess we are. Yeah, kind of, yeah. We've got half our, we've got half our, half our. Half the animal. Is a horse with two legs just a kangaroo? Oh, great question. Fuzzy. Nah, it's not.

You know those Mr. Tumnus horses? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, no, they've still got four legs, don't they? Yeah, they technically do, I think. I thought they walked on the back too. Oh. And then they stood up with their hands.

Okay, does those centaurs, they've got six limbs. Actually, yeah, because they've got arms, right? So are they technically an insect? Oh. Bree, if you're listening, we do need you back. Yeah, listen to this. Semi-urgently. The shanter has gone

neck-left, bruh. Today on the show, let's focus on that, what's coming up. Oh, okay, we're gonna talk there's a new sport that Kiwis are competing in globally. Think Cricket World Cup, think Rugby World Cup with the new All Blacks jersey launched today. Egg-catching World

Championships. That's a thing. We've got a team, we've got a New Zealand team. Yeah, they're called the Yolk Blacks which is so great. I love that. Do you? Okay, yeah, it's good.

So today we're going to take our resident sportsman producer Ben down to the park and see how he goes under a dozen high eggs. Spoiler alert, we've already done it.

He did pretty well. I'm really good at it. Yeah. We've also got a double pass to Stan Walker's nationwide tour Up For Grabs. That was announced today with Fletch, Warren and Megan. Full details at ZM Online. We'll have a pass to the

Christchurch Stan Walker show Up For Grabs at 5 o'clock today. Next though, my baby has become, well that doesn't even exist yet or does exist, hasn't been born yet, has become the hottest gambling ticket in town. How can you make money off my kid?

We'll tell you next. This is Carlead and Kane Brown, Saturday nights. Bree and Clint, ZM. Started. ZM's Bree and Clint, the podcast. I've got a baby on the way, so there could be no one doing this show very shortly. We're on countdown to...

that, whatever that sound means. show very shortly. We're on countdown to that. Whatever that sound means. And found out today my baby has become the centre of an illegal gambling ring. We've got a big office sweepstake going, mate. Yeah, and this is good if someone in your office is expecting or maybe you are the one that's

expecting. Why don't you get a cut of the funds? I actually am a bit gutted that I didn't set this up, but the man, the bookie who's running this is head audio engineer here at ZM, Al Coburn. Hi, Al. Afternoon, Clint. Tell me how the betting ring based around my unborn child works.

It's quite a complicated sort of thing. We need to know, obviously first you have to guess the gender of the baby. Yes. Okay. The weight and the date that the baby arrives. Yeah. And if you can guess the name as well, you get bonus points.

So the name's worth quite a lot of points, right? Yeah, the name's worth 20 points. 20 points. Whoa. Yeah, that's good. How much to buy into this thing? A whole dollar. One dollar.

Yeah, one New Zealand dollar. Because there's some insider trading that is possible. I don't know the gender, or do I? Yeah. But I mean, I hopefully know the names. Yeah. So have you factored in any prohibitive methods? I didn't even think about the fact that you could be involved.

Yeah. Like I could funnel my money through producer Ben and just give him the info. Well, you might only get the name correct. So that's allocated 20 points on my formulaic spreadsheet. So someone could still beat you out if they get the gender, the date and the weight. What's the most points you can get out of everything?

If you got all of them, you would get 5, 15, 25, 45 points. 45 points. The reason we're explaining this so intricately is in case you want to run a similar ring. And it doesn't have to be for a human baby, by the way. It could be for a dog baby.

Oh, puppy. You call that a puppy. Yeah, puppy. It could be for... Oh, my God. It could be for anything. And then you go number of puppies. There's multiple splits in that.

I just want to run through and again, I know the names. So feel free to look at my facial expressions and see what that gives. I'm going to run through the name suggestions that have been given

from the ZM team. Carol. It's my grandmother's name. Oh yeah? So it could be a middle name then. Karen. That's my auntie's name. Jordan. That's Jordan's name and she's just put it in.

Sandra. That's Al's guess. The baby will be born zero years old by the way, not 45. Ziggy Jr. That's my cat's name, Ziggy. Yeehaw! Someone's just thrown away 20 points there. Make sure you still charge them the dollar.

Stephanie, Stephanie the baby. Yeah. That reaction, I feel like there's something going on yeah Emily that's my niece's name oh yeah

good which is it rough to get the same name as your wife's brother's first born child

possibly and Mackenzie like a strong loaf of bread those are the entries so far I like Mackenzie like Mackenzie country. Yeah. That's a girl's name?

Mackenzie. Or a boy's name? I think it can be both. I think it's unisexual. Yeah. So there you go, everybody. That's our betting ring. Feel free to let us know

if there's any criteria we've missed. Like, should there be a category added in? Like hair colour? Or something like that? The only issue I've got at the moment is no one's given me any money. Oh, yeah, true. Oh, no.

And good luck with that. You want issue I've got at the moment is no one's given me any money. Yeah, true. And good luck with that. You want to collect the money before the baby arrives because ain't nobody paying up when it comes out and they didn't get any of the details right. Bree and Clint, the podcast. ZM. We have got breaking banana news, though. Listen up, all potassium fiends.

Bananas are endangered and the world may be on the brink of running out of bananas. No, having no bananas. The banana that we all eat, I didn't know this and you guys might have known this either, but the banana that we all eat is one particular type of banana.

The world eats a banana called the Cavendish banana. It's not the only banana. It's just the one that we're conditioned to like. Interesting. I don't know if it's because it's easier to grow or because that's the one that we like. And because of global warming, the conditions in which it grows,

it's in danger of becoming extinct. Aww. Yeah, I know. So, no more bananas for you, if that's the case. We've got three options. Yep. One, stop global warming. That's a big one, but that's one. Seems like a good idea, though.

Yes. Like of all the options, that one seems the most beneficial or the most fruitful, perhaps. Two, they can genetically modify the Cavendish banana to be able to survive global warming which is fine, which is fine. I think we need to open our eyes to the idea of

genetic... Is it bad for the plant though? Well, it's bad for the plant if it gets extinct. Yeah, true. They just change something within the plant that means it can survive whatever is killing it, I guess. I don't know. It might lead, I guess. I don't know. It might lead to radioactive bananas. I don't know.

It depends how much you love bananas. Would you still eat it? And three, we change the type of banana that we like. And no one likes change. So no one's really up for option number three, are they? I'd be interested to see, though. To try a different banana. What's the difference?

Is it more sour or I don't know. I'm on the fence with this. I mean, I can take or leave a banana. I enjoy the ripe banana, but it's like the window to eat it is so small for me. It is, yep. Tiny. I can't have it too ripe and I can't have it too raw.

Green. Green. But then I want it a little bit green. I want it a little bit green. But then Lucy brought home a bunch of green bananas from the supermarket the other day. I didn't eat them. And she goes, I thought you liked green bananas.

I was like, yeah, but not that kind of green. Oh. It's so specific. It's so specific. So for me, yeah, bananas, if they go, what a shame. Sorry for the monkeys. Are there any fruit or veggies that you guys could happily see go extinct? If global warming is going to ravage us,

what could you happily see disappear from Fruit World? Beetroot. Beetroot? I hate. I hate beetroot. What about your burgers in summer? What are you going to disappear from Fruit World? Beetroot. Beetroot? I hate. Do you? What about your burgers in summer? What are you going to put on your burger? I'd take a beetroot out easily.

Really? I hate beetroot. Some people do, eh? Beetroot's very controversial. There's just nothing to it. I'm just like, what is it? It's been described as red dirt by some people, beetroot. I'd describe it as that.

I don't describe it as that. And give me the canned stuff. I love it. Cool. Producer Ellie, what could you happily say go extinct? I could go without courgettes or zucchini

or whatever they're called. Oh yeah. What? Yeah, I'm not a fan. Right. I'm not a fan. You've never had zucchini noodles? Zoodles?

No, I haven't. Oh mate, great carb free option for your pasta and your spag bol. Okay, maybe I just haven't learned about zucchini enough. Maybe I would love them,

but nah. Definitely give it a go before you eradicate the entire category of zucchinis. But there you go. That is breaking banana news, guys, from our fruit desk today. And good luck to the Bonita family if you are listening. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. ZM Spree and prayers are with you.

Let's go to LA and get some Spy from Dean McCarthy. Alright Dean, there's a bit to chunk through here for a Monday and I really want to get to this Taylor Swift story but just quickly, let's just cover Kylie Jenner off. Is she pregnant? Is she having another baby? That's a million dollar question. Over the weekend, she said in a video at Khloe Kardashian's 35th birthday party, in the video, she said, I'm pregnant. Now, I don't know.

Was she playing around? Was she joking? Did she mean it? Would she be that blasé about such an important announcement like that? Who knows? But she did say it, so stay tuned and of course, as you can imagine, social media and everyone's freaking out. Also, people love it when you announce your big news at their big event as well, so I'm sure that I'm sure Chloe was stoked with that. Okay,

break down this whole Taylor Swift, Justin Bieber record label thing that's going on for me and start at the start because I'm just learning about it. Yeah, big, massive, huge Bieber record label thing that's going on for me and start at the start because I'm just learning about it yeah big massive huge story okay long story short Taylor Swift signed with Big Machine Records when she was 15 years old okay and over the years that that record label has always owned her music and she's always begged them to buy it off you know she wanted to buy it off them and all this but they owned her music most Most recently, they gave her a deal. They were like, we want to re-sign you for more, you know,

more albums, and if you, for every album that you make with us, we will let you buy one of your old albums. So they kind of locked her into a six-album deal. She pulled out because she knew that someone, the guy, Scott Bocchetti, I think he pronounced it, Scott Bocchetti, I think his name is, Bocchetta, that she was like, he's going to sell the label and I'll be locked in and someone's going to own my life, okay? Yeah.

What happened was this. She left, got a new record label, and now all of her previous music has been sold to Scooter Braun. Now, Scooter Braun is Justin Bieber's manager, Ariana Grande's manager. Who else is he managing? Is he Demi's manager? Demi, yeah, he's now Demi's manager, yes. I've met Scooter a lot of times, actually. He used to manage my ex, actually.

Okay. And so I've met him a lot of times. He's quite lovely. Kind of like cold, but lovely. Yeah, he's a businessman. He's like a shark, right? You know, he's a businessman. He's a businessman. He's like a shark, right? You know, he's very successful. So he bought the Taylor Swift Catalog of Music for $300 million was the deal.

Taylor is devastated because he's always been an absolute snake to her. He's bullied her. And now Taylor did this huge write-up. Go on Taylor Swift's Tumblr. Read the whole thing. It's very emotional. It's really quite moving. And Justin Bieber has responded because, you know, Taylor called's Tumblr. Read the whole thing. It's very emotional. It's really quite moving. And Justin Bieber has responded

because, you know, Taylor called out Kim Kardashian, Justin Bieber, Kanye West, and, of course, Scooter Braun. And now, all the celebrities

are taking sides. So you've got, like, Halsey, Todrick Hall, and Cara Delevingne have taken Taylor Swift's side. Justin Bieber's gone online and taken Scooter Braun's side.

All of Scooter's talent, of course, are going to take his side. Scooter is very good friends with Mariah Carey. When I was at Scooter Braun's house, that's when Tom Hanks walked out of the front door. Right. Scooter Braun's a big deal. Yeah. Right?

Yeah. Okay. But Taylor's a big deal too. It's interesting too because she's just mended her feud with Katy Perry. Whose side does she take in this situation? Because she's very close to Justin Bieber, but she's friends with Taylor. Has she signaled where she's going on this yet?

I've read, yes, that Taylor, Katy has taken Taylor's side. What did she do? I've just gone blank on what she did. A lot of celebrities have unfollowed Scooter. So Adele has unfollowed Scooter. Who else is there? I think I've gone,

it's just like a few different celebrities slowly starting to unfollow Scooter because everyone's really upset for Taylor that all of her music, all of her music she wrote her entire life is now owned by her arch nemesis. Isn't that crazy, eh? You can pour your life into your music,

but as long as someone else owns it, you don't have the right to say what happens to it. It's bizarre. It's full on. And it's really interesting too. So keep us updated on that one if you can, please. Dean? Oh, well, it's a big story.

And here's the thing though. Kayla wasn't offered to buy it. No. So that's the thing. She's got $300 million. She could have bought it. Yeah. Okay.

That's an interesting twist too. Okay, cool. That's Dean McCarthy. She's got $300 million. She could have bought it. Yeah. Okay. She's going to figure that out. That's an interesting twist too. Okay, cool. That's Dean McCarthy, our Hollywood correspondent, live from Los Angeles. Bree and Clint, the podcast. ZM. Guys, this is great.

New Zealand are world champions. World champions at egg throwing and catching. We'll have it. We'll take it. We'll take it. We'll absolutely take it, mate. We're world champions. God damn it, we're proud. Oh, absolutely.

How good? We're world champions at sailboat racing too. True. Arguable whether that's a real sport. Oh, that's going to offend the sailors. Here we go. But, you know, we'll take it. Mate, I'm Team New Zealand till I die.

There it is, mate. And now I am a huge fan of the New Zealand yoke firms. Ben Colgan, 21 of Tauranga, and Lockie Davidson, 21 of Ashburton. So not even close to each other. What a miracle story

how these guys met. It's like Dan and Richie but a bit further apart. Way further away. Yeah. Took out the title of the 2019 World Egg Throwing

Championships in London overnight. Unbelievable, guys. As a nation, if we could all just stand and just appreciate what these guys have done for our country. We thought, look, it's not a sport we know a lot about, but if we're world champions, it's going to catch on. So this is going to be at schools, might be at the next Olympics. That'd be good. Before you know it we could have egg throwing championships

on Eden Park if break dancing allowed in the Olympics yeah egg throwing has to be allowed egg throwing has to be allowed in the Olympics we took our resident sportsman the man who raced

Paralympian Liam Malone producer Ben down to the park today and I threw a dozen eggs at you I reckon I was a better catcher than I thought I'd be yeah because I'm not a fantastic catcher but your throwing was good too, mate.

Thank you very much. Yeah. And I wanted to pepper you with a lot of different scenarios too. Yes, true. Because you never know what you're going to face. So there was some underarms. Yep. Just some lobs.

There was some nice overhand lofties. Yeah, high, high, high. Some straight, I like to call them heaters, that came directly at you. Yeah, they weren't safe. That one you didn't, well, you caught, but it exploded in your hands and all over your face. And also I came at you with a cricket ball. Oh, that was directly at you. They weren't safe. That one you didn't, well you caught but it exploded in your hands and all over your face.

And also I came at you with a cricket ball. A full toss. Because like we said, we don't know. We're still wondering about this. True. From a dozen eggs,

do you know how many you caught? I think I caught three, four. Three. Yeah. And do you know how many you dropped? Probably the rest. Yeah. The whole rest of the bowl.

And do you know how many you smashed? I'll, three. It's fucking... What? Producer Ellie, you've got the footage. You've been reviewing it. I have been reviewing it. You're in the bunker.

You're the TMO at the moment. Yes. Do you have some stats on how Producer Ben went in the ZM edition of the Egg Throwing World Championships? So he did pretty well. Like I was pretty surprised with how well you did, to be honest. Thanks, Ellie.

I'm just currently reviewing it at the moment. Now, what I can see is that there's a couple of eggs that you did catch. But I was surprised. There were eight that were left uncracked. Was it eight? Yeah, they were hard eggs. Yeah. Some of those were off the ground.

Look, I just want to know from you. You've done it. Yeah. What's those are off the ground. Look, look, I just want to know from you, you've done it. Yeah. What's the hardest bit about catching eggs? The speed at which they come in my face. This is interesting though. There's a whole lot of new laws that have come into effect today. And if you don't know about them, well, how do you know if you're breaking them, I guess?

So what we're going to do is we're going to go through the law changes and break down what it means for you. There's quite a lot of them. Okay. So what I've tried to do is bust out the most relevant ones to us, I guess.

Cool. What the heck was that? Order! I'm trying to do it. I'm doing live sound effects. Order! In the court. Because it's law. Yeah, I like it. That's Clint's drink bottle, by the way, I'm trying to do I'm doing live sound effects Order In the court Because it's law

Nice That's Clint's drink bottle By the way If everyone listening My reusable drink bottle Reuse it Exactly It's broken now

Can't reuse it Okay let's look at Some of these things Insulation That's a hard word to say Insulation There it is Rental properties

If you're renting, which most of the people listening would be, I feel, if your house is not properly insulated from today, that's right now, you could be eligible for up to $4,000 in compensation. So your landlord has had ages to get the house insulated. They were told, I think, in 2016

that all rental properties need to be insulated. Right. And that means ceiling and floor. Oh, yeah. Not walls, but there needs to be, like, bats in the roof and the floor. If they're not in there now, you're allowed to narc on them.

Yeah. And you could be eligible for $4,000. Which should be used to put the pink bats in. No, you don't put, no. No, you don't put it in. No. It's not your job to insulate someone bats in. No, you don't put it in. No, you don't put it in. No. It's not your job to insulate someone else's rental property, mate. Yeah, true, true.

Chloe Swarbrick has done a really good post about that on her Facebook page if you want some more details. Kiwi Saver, these ones won't affect you so much, but it might affect your parents. Kiwi Saver has changed. Did you know before now, if you were over 65, which is the age when you get your Kiwi Saver money out, if you were over 65, you weren't allowed to join? You're not allowed to join Kiwi Saver if you're over 65, which is the age when you get your KiwiSaver money out, if you're over 65 you weren't allowed to join?

You're not allowed to join KiwiSaver if you're over that age. Oh. Yeah, because you don't have to take it out when you're 65.

No. And it keeps earning interest and blah, blah, blah and your employer has to keep contributing. The oldies are allowed to join KiwiSaver from today.

Oh, good on them. Yeah. Nice. Congrats there to all our over 65 ZM listeners. Okay, this one will piss you off. Petrol prices going up.

A three cents per litre tax increase on the price of fuel. That's nationwide, which is on top of the last. Aucklanders have already had a big one anyway. Anyway, everybody three cents more expensive. To fix the roads. Why? To catch 22, right? So they're smoother,

so you don't use as much petrol on the bumps. Maybe, maybe. Or you don't get caught in as much traffic. Yeah, that would be good. They want to reduce the congestion so you pay less, I don't know. Yeah, right.

Get an electric car. Yeah. If you can't afford it, get an electric car. Yeah. Okay, and this is the other big one. Yeah. The plastic bag ban,

which I actually thought this was already in place. I thought at New Year's we were like, no more plastic bags. But it was just the supermarkets that decided to do it at New Year's. From today, it's illegal, like it's some kind of narcotic or something, it's illegal for a retailer to give you

or sell you a plastic bag with a handle. Interesting. Why would you sell one without plastic bag with a handle. Interesting. Why would you sell one without one? That's the fantastic. Well, you say that. You say that. Yeah. But you know how when you go around and you get your oranges and your apples at the supermarket

and you put those in plastic bags? Oh, yeah. They're not illegal because they don't have a handle. So those are fine. So they're staying, which is how they are. Better or worse than the normal one. I know. Also, you don't need to was a better or worse than the normal one. I know. Also, you don't need to put your fruit and veggie in a bag.

So that's a revelation that I've only had recently. But yeah, put them straight in your trolley. Yeah, just wash it. And then put it in your bag at the end. It's like, you don't need it. Exactly. You don't need it. But retailers who give out a plastic bag,

this is how seriously we're taking plastic bags, New Zealand. Good, good. If they give you one, they are up for a $100,000 fine. Ooh! Holy! And that's everything. That's like your takeaways, if your Uber Eats comes in a plastic bag.

Anything like that. $100,000 is on the line. Asking for a friend, but what do I get out of it if I knock on them? A better world. There it is. There you go. Oh, that's nice. A better environment. Every time you narc on them,

you save one turtle. Oh, okay. It's worth it. There you go. Hey, there's the new laws, everybody. The more you know, right, the more you... Save.

Go on your roof and see if you've got any pink bats up there. You could actually make some money out of it. Yeah, you could. Bree and Clint, the podcast.

ZM. Welcome back to the most ballsy man we've had on the Bree and Clint show in a long time. Matt, g'day. How's it going? Yeah, good. Ballsy, stupid. I mean, there's a fine line between those two things. But people might remember you as the guy who made the crazy cricket bet. Back in 2015, was it the World Cup?

Yeah. 2015 Cricket World Cup? Yep. 2015 Cricket World Cup. What did you bet your mate? Well, I bet my mate a Harley Davidson for the Kiwis to win, and yep, they did. So I lost my Harley. You lost your Harley to your Australian best friend

when Australia beat the Black Caps in the final. We got you on to see if we could rectify this, and it's become a bit of double or nothing. Just so everyone's clear, this is the bet that was put in place. Let's put some parameters in place. Matt, if the Black Caps win, you get your Harley back. And Ben, if Australia win, what do you want? I want a Safari Legacy.

I want a Safari Legacy. I want a Safari Legacy. You're kidding. If neither teams win the Cricket World Cup, then you don't owe each other anything. Yeah, that's fair. Sounds like a deal. That's fair. My God, the Black Caps are on fire. Are you willing to make that bet, Matt? Your car is on the line. 100%. 100%. I'm backing the boys this time.

Well, the Black Caps were on fire. They were. Please welcome to the show this afternoon, the other side of the bet, Australian Ben. Hello. Hey. Hey, mate. For those who don't actively follow the Cricket World Cup,

do you want to let us know what happened over the weekend? Yeah, Aussie won, mate. Aussie won. Not the final. It's not the final. Not the final, final. It's not the final. It's not the final, mate. It's just pool play. Mate, they're only just warming up.

They're going to bring out something spectacular, mate. They're going to bring out something spectacular. At the moment, Ben, you are in the box seat to take not only your friend Matt's Harley Davidson, but also his other mode of transport, the Subaru Legacy. The Subaru Legacy. That's right. How nervous are you right now, Matt? I'm not very nervous.

I'm backing the boys. I mean, they slipped up, but hey, they're going to stand back up and take it. And what do you say to that, Ben? I don't think so. I don't think so. Matt, say goodbye to your car. Say goodbye to your motorbike, Matt. They say that with gambling, it's all about knowing when to stop and when to pull out.

So at this point, Matt, I want to give you the opportunity to triple down. Absolutely not. Would you like to increase the bet? Like, can we get some cash in here? Do you have any other assets? Do you want to wage a lot? Have you got like a bike or a skateboard?

Have you got any savings you want to put in? I've got a motorbike, but I've got a dirt bike. I need something more, mate. What do you want to mine, Ben? Five grand, mate. And what do I get? What are you putting on the line? Mate, I'll chuck on my new Sabari that I just bought.

Wait, wait, okay. So I actually, I was half joking, but I feel like I need to step in here. Let's just keep it at Sabari Legacy versus returning the Harley Davidson, just for this Cricket World Cup. We can get in touch with you guys in 2023 if we want to triple down, but let's just – shall we just proceed as planned?

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You know what? Good idea, Clint. You guys have got a problem far out. Okay. Yeah.

Matt, I'm obviously on your side. Ben, I understand why you are confident, but onwards and upwards, go the Black Caps everybody, go the Black Caps. Go the Black Caps. Go the Aussies. Go the Aussies. You cheating mongrels. Honestly, one of the stupidest and most fun things I think we've been a part of on this show

in a long time. And we will follow them all the way to the final. ZM Spree and Clint, the podcast. You know when you learn something about someone that you've known for a while, maybe someone that you see every day and you go, oh, I did not know that about you. And it kind of changes the way that you see them. Had that experience this week with producer Ben,

who's here at the moment. Hey, mate. How did it even come up? Oh, we were getting our haircut for the radio awards. That's right, yeah. And I said to you, oh, are you going to go home and wash your hair first before we go and get a haircut? No.

And you said to me. Why would I do that? Why would I do that? I can't remember the last time I washed my hair. Turns out, much like the anti-vaxxer of the hair world, Ben is not a hair washer. No, I'm not. I can't remember the last time I washed my hair. It's not like it's

bad. It doesn't look bad. It doesn't feel bad. I just don't wash my hair. Now, this will gross a lot of people out, like it did for me, but then maybe it will also unify some people behind you and go, finally. Finally, someone else. Finally, someone in our community. Is going to speak on a public forum and tell everyone not to do it. Greasy haired people was making a stand.

Ben is the voice of a new dirty haired generation. The thing is though, when you say you don't remember the last time you washed your hair, what are we talking? Are we talking months? Are we talking years? What would it take you to wash your hair? Oh, I don't, if you want me to, I can, but I don't care. It's your head. What is it in the shower that motivates you to go? Oh, today's the day. Nothing. Cause there's no shampoo there for me to i can but i don't i don't care it's your head like what what is it in the shower that motivates you to go oh today's the day nothing because there's no shampoo there for me to do it because i don't know shampoo but you got your girlfriend's shampoo oh we're doing i think i'd use that it's a bit fruity i just don't know why i just don't the weird thing about you too though is you don't appear to have particularly dirty hair so i I wash my hair two, three times a week. Do you?

Yeah, out of necessity. Because if I don't, I would look like a greasy grot. Like I would look like an even more homeless Oscar the Grouch. Yeah, right. But you, it's like there is something in it that means your hair has started to clean itself. I don't think today is a great example because I've got egg yolk all through my hair

because I'm throwing eggs around the park earlier trying to break a world record. Yeah. But any other day, it's fantastic. But I don't put product in it or anything. I wonder,

I wonder if you are that person. I wonder if you are like the spokesperson for an underground community of people who have been waiting to come forward.

Yeah, right. And we're going to throw this out there this afternoon on 0800DALZM. Are you anti-hair washing? Are you an anti-hair washer? Is washing your hair a rare occasion for you?

Yeah, right. And by that I mean more than a month. You'll go more than a month guy or girl without washing your hair. I feel the need to exclude dreadlocks from the conversation.

Do they not wash their hair? I don't think so. I don't think they do. Yeah, I think that's white dread their hair? I don't think so. Yeah, I think that's why it dreads as well, I think, a little bit. They go in the ocean. Yeah. That's what I do.

Well, you wash your hair in the ocean. Not every time, but I'm a bit on the non-hair washing. Who am I surrounded by? Honestly, I did an experiment last year because my hair's very curly. And when I wash it, it goes fluffy. And I like it fluffy. I prefer it when it's a bit greasier and then it can curl. So I went for a month without washing my hair.

I did go in the ocean still. And I still wet it. But after the third week, Mark, my hair was clean as a whistle. A whistle? A whistle. A whistle. After how long? Yeah, three and a half weeks.

Really? It just cleaned itself. Three and a half weeks to get to that stage. You do have to go through the bit of period where it kind of smells a lot, but it does work. But you're still showering or swimming though. It's not like that. Yeah, exactly. Okay, let's find them. Let's find these people.

0800 dial ZM. I mean, if you're worried about speaking out, we can keep you anonymous if that's necessary. You can text us to 9696. Are you anti-hair washing? Is it not your jam? Do you not wash your hair? I'm particularly keen to hear from the girls as well.

Yeah, that's true. 0800-DARLS-ZM. Brie and Clint, the podcast. ZM. We are trying to find the people today who don't really have a platform to speak on very often. No one wants to talk to them. They're like hermits.

They're like an underground society of people. They're like, I don't know, they're like a subculture People who don't wash their hair I'm here for them Yeah, you are Because I am one of them I very rarely slash, I can't remember the last time I washed my hair Producer Ben has outed himself as a non, he's anti-hair washing

It's the first step to make So we want to know, I'll know 800 dials at him Are you one of these people? Do you not wash your hair? Hi Shana Hi, how's it going? Good, now first of all, how much not wash your hair? Hi, Shana. Hi, how's it going? Good. Now, first of all, how much hair have you got?

Oh, it's not me. It's my cousin. She's seven. And she's never really washed her hair at all. She's seven. Doesn't use detergent. Yes. I feel like at that age, it's not her choice.

Like, it would be a parent's decision. How's her hair? It's gorgeous. She's decision How's her hair? It's gorgeous She's got gold hair And it doesn't smell bad And it feels amazing Right You're not tempted to just get in there

With a bit of VO5 And just really see what it looks like No, no, no, no, no No, definitely not Right, okay Thanks, Shana I feel like kids have got a bit of leniency Yeah, they do, I think, yeah

Like they Although they're pretty grubby Yeah, true Hi, Jess Kia ora Kia ora Shana, I feel like kids have got a bit of leniency Yeah they do I think, yeah Although they're pretty grubby Hi Jess Kia ora Is it you? Are you anti-hair washing? It is me, yes, I'm a 29 year old I'm female I have hair down to my waist

Long blonde curly hair And I'm on team Ellie and Ben for this one And I probably only wash my hair Once a fortnight or less just to maintain the condition of it because I've dyed it and stuff like that. What sort of hair have you got? Is it straight, curly,

thick, thin? It's really thick, long and curly. Right. Do you do anything? Like Ellie gets in the ocean for like a... I will wet my hair in the shower and it gets wet but never put any like, Ellie gets in the ocean for, like, a... Oh, sorry, I will wet my hair in the shower. Yeah. And it gets wet, but never put any, like, soap or anything in it.

And if I'm, like, washing, I use air quotations around that, I'm probably more likely to use conditioner, not shampoo. Right. Someone's texted us in and said, this conversation is grim, grim, grim. It's not. Honestly, Clint, after 28 days, your hair becomes self-cleaning. Right. Is that true? You can use soap on it. You can ask a hairdresser. Yeah, it's not honestly Clint after 28 days your hair becomes self-cleaning right

is that true and you don't need to use soap on it you can ask a hairdresser yep it's true that sounds like an urban legend nah I love it

that's fact Ellie proved it with her scientific experiments yeah true Ellie did but at that stage you're like one step

away from doing oh if I don't wear any deodorant my body will start that's different deodorising itself that's very different no that's not a real thing.

That's where you draw the light? That's definitely an urban myth, yeah. You wash your pits in bits. Oh, yeah. Not everything is self-cleaning, ladies and gentlemen. Brittany's here. Hey, Brittany. Hi.

Are you willing to out yourself as an anti-hair washer? Yeah, absolutely. How long? How long will you go between shampoos? Oh, I mean, I'll easily go two months, but I work a sweaty job, so these days

I kind of have to work and do it every two weeks. What's your sweaty job? Just to rinse the... I'm a beekeeper. Oh! Oh! So underneath that helmet,

you've got to... Yeah, there's a lot of sweat happening under the helmet. No one can see you under there. No, they cannot. Yeah. But I do go out in public. Yeah.

I do go out in public, yeah. Oh, do you? You're not a full-time beekeeper. You're beekeeping real close. Although I do hear that bees go crazy for those pheromones and if you get a good lather, if you... That's true, yeah.

Yeah, you don't want them to get underneath your hood and they'll start mating with you. No, I don't want to smell like flowers especially. Okay, two months. Two months is good. Right. Easy. Maybe I need to give flowers, especially. Okay, two months. Two months is good. Right. Easy. Maybe I need to give it a go.

Yeah, give it a go. Just try. You save money. It's worth it. Save the environment. Yeah, don't buy shampoo. Oh, you save time showering. You waste a lot of money on pillowcases, though,

because they all go see-through. ZM Spree and Clint, the podcast. Trash. All treasure. Bit of fun, this, and you can play along in the car. You just have to guess whether the items that we're about to give you from an antiques roadshow type show are trash, which means worth under $5,000,

or treasure, worth over $5,000. Anna's here. Hi, Anna. Hi. More importantly than that, how often do you wash your hair? A couple of times a week. Yeah, right. You're in the same team as me. How do you feel about people who wash it once a month?

Fine. My husband probably washes it less than that. All right, okay. Hey, let's get you into this game. If you get two correct, we're going to give you some mobile fuel vouchers. And if you don't, well, Loretta is going to win your fuel

for doing absolutely nothing. Cool. Sounds good. Here you go. Here is the first item. Listen carefully. This is an original Civil War Confederate soldier's jacket. By the characteristics looking at it, we can tell that it's a late war coat. It was most likely produced in Georgia. The other features that we like about this,

you can tell that it's a hand-sewn coat. The buttonholes are hand-sewn. It is everything that you would want it to be to be a correct Confederate coat. A coat from the American Civil War. Is that trash or treasure? Trash. You think it's trash worth under

$5,000? Yep. Okay, let's see. A conservative auction estimate for this item would be between thirty thousand and fifty thousand dollars no luck there sorry um let's get you another item listen carefully it's a prototype helmet that ron wolf had made when he was hired as the head of the green bay packers he was going to change the colors to notre Dame gold. At that time, a lot of teams were changing colours and the teams that seemed to change colours were having success. So we have

today a prototype of that helmet that he was this close to perhaps getting changed. It's a one-off helmet for the American football team, the Green Bay Packers. Very niche items in Trash or Treasure today, but what is that? Is that trash or is that treasure?

Treasure. Treasure worth over $5,000? Yeah. Alright, let's find out. I'd put an auction estimate on it of $2,500 to $3,500. Wow. Oh no. No good?

Sorry, Anna. No worries. This has never happened before, but Loretta, you've won the mobile fuel for doing absolutely nothing whatsoever. Thank you. That's amazing. No worries. Sorry, Anna, but hey, it's coming your way. Fuel went up today as well.

Three cents nationwide as part of the law change, so what better timing to win some mobile fuel? Congratulations. Thank you. Bree and Clint, the podcast. ZM. Welcome to the studio producer Ellie. Hot on the back of Do You Wash Your Hair?

Our four o'clock controversial topic. We head back into the bathroom for this topic. And for this, just in anticipation, I would actually love to hear from a plumber. If there is a plumber listening and you can call through, Producer Ben can get you on the line now

because we do have an important question that requires, only a plumber can answer this for us. Exactly right. Ellie, take us to your bedroom over the weekend. Oh, come on in guys. Over the weekend I had a good friend of mine around and we were just hanging out. I have a bedroom that's downstairs and he disappeared for about

maybe like five minutes and he came back with his drink bottle and I said, where did you go? He was like, oh, I just ran upstairs and filled my drink bottle up. I have an en suite in my room literally a metre away and I was like, why didn't you just fill it up in the bathroom? And he goes, no, but that's not good water. That's different, right?

I was like, pardon? What? So he seems to think that the bathroom water is different to the kitchen water. And that kind of made me think, is it? Is it? Is it? It does taste different to me in a way. On the face of it, stupid statement.

But let's drill down on it a little bit. Let's go on the evidence. It does taste better. I mean, different. Oh, no, I've really shown my cards here. Oh, yeah, you think it tastes better to you? I've really shown my cards here oh yeah you think it tastes better to you I've shown my hand

but no I will go ahead and say it bathroom water tastes better than kitchen water I don't know why I don't know why why is it colder why is it fresher

and why does it have a slight minty taste to it as well I don't mean like peppermint like toothpaste no right I mean like it's got a freshness and a crispness that your kitchen faucet can't offer you. Does it? Okay. Well, I guess that's what we're asking, eh? That is what we're asking. Welcome to the Brian Clint Show, where the topic today is, is bathroom water different to regular water?

And I'll throw in a subcategory. What about hose water? Oh, yeah. Now that's true. Because that tastes different again. Where does that come from? We actually, have we got a plumber there, Ben? Is that a qualified plumber online? Phil's a qualified plumber.

Keep him on the line. See if he'll hang out because I don't want to hear from him first. I want to hear from Phil last. Before him, I want to hear from you. Place your bets, New Zealand.

Do you believe that bathroom water and kitchen water are different water? And if you don't, if you don't believe this and you think this is stupid, well, put your chips on the table too. Call up and tell me,

why do they taste different? Yeah, exactly. Why do they taste like they're different waters? Why does it taste like I'm getting Evian from the bathroom and just tap water from the kitchen? 0800DALZM Is the bathroom water different to regular water?

Once and for all New Zealand, we are about to get an answer. Is bathroom water different to regular water? To answer the question, we have a qualified plumber on the line. Now, Phil, don't give me the answer yet, but just checking, you're here and you do know the answer to that question. Is that correct? Yeah, I'm here. Okay, don't give it to us yet because first we need to canvass the people and find out what they're saying without any input.

You know, we need to get their uninhibited, raw opinion. We go first to Jacob. Jacob, good afternoon. Yeah, how's it going, T? Good. Now, do you believe that bathroom water is different to regular water? I think bathroom water tastes better than regular water, but I think they're the same. But how can it taste better if it's not better water? So my theory is that the only time I ever drink water from the bathroom

is on a Sunday after a really big Saturday night. I don't have the energy to go to the kitchen. I just get it from the bathroom tap, and that life-giving freshness is all I'm about. So there is text-based evidence to back up your opinion too. Someone has texted and said, Bathroom water is so much better better and I don't know why. Hungover, bathroom water has your back.

It gives you life. It gives you life. It keeps you ticking. Okay, I would contend, Jacob, that if they taste different, they are different because something has to have changed. So bathroom water is different to regular water. Good afternoon and welcome to the debate, Kate.

Hi, I reckon it's the same water, so bathroom water is different to regular water. Good afternoon and welcome to the debate, Kate. Hi. I reckon it's the same water, but, like, the bathroom is way dirtier. Like, there's way more bacteria and stuff, like if you flush your toilet or whatever. Yeah. So it's no different to how often you actually... Wait, wait, wait, wait.

Are you drinking your bathroom water from the toilet? Don't do that. Because that's not a category. The categories we're dealing with are bathroom, kitchen, hose as a subcategory. We're not bringing toilet water into this. If you flush your toilet, all the bacteria that's out of the toilet go all over your bathroom. And if you're drinking from your basin, that's going to be covered in gross bacteria and that.

So it's the same water. So what water do you prefer? What water do you prefer? Kitchen. Kitchen water. And again, that is Kate admitting that there is a difference. same water. So what water do you prefer? What water do you prefer? Kitchen. Kitchen water. Good. And again, that is Kate admitting that there is a difference because to prefer one, there has to be a difference. Someone's texted and said, bathroom water

is better, especially if you drink it straight from the tap, no glass. So there's no barrier between you. No dirty glass involved. There's glass flavours in there. We're going to bring in Nick. Now, Nick, you are a tradie. You're not a plumber, but you're a builder. Is that correct?

Yeah, yeah. Now, what's your opinion? Do you believe that bathroom water is different to regular water? No, it's the same water, but with... Well, in your opinion. Yeah, well, yeah. With Ali's, her bathroom, since it's downstairs, it's probably closer to the water supply, the main water supply.

Does that mean it's fresher? It could be. Ah, okay. It's good. Good to know. Okay, well, here's one that's come in too from someone who also has an en suite, and they've said, upstairs en suite water tastes better and colder than downstairs bathroom water,

which tastes slightly better than the downstairs kitchen water. Why? I feel like this has gone far enough, and it's time for some answers. So welcome back to the show, our plumber, Phil. Hey, how's it going? You hold the answers to the question that the nation has on its lips right now.

Is bathroom water different to regular water? No. Nah. Nah, it all comes from the same place. Yeah. So why

does it taste so much better out of the bathroom than it does the kitchen? Why is bathroom water the superior water that is a good question um maybe kitchen water gets used more so um uh for the bathroom water stays in the pipes longer phil you don't know I have no idea. Okay, well, there you go. The debate rages on. We have no answer. For me, it's bathroom water. All the way. Please.

We're about to do Birthday Banger, but just before we do, I've just spent some time collating all the feedback that has come in on whether bathroom water is different to regular water and Producer Ali, I feel like you'll be particularly interested in this. I've got the water power rankings.

This is based off all the texts that we got on the topic. And I've got five categories of water. Coming in in first place, bathroom water is number one. Not toilet. Hose water, number two. Right, yeah, okay. Not toilet. Hose water, number two.

Oh, yeah? Yeah. Shower water came in at place number three. Interesting. Straight from the shower head. Very hard to get a full mouthful, though. It is. It's very aerated as it goes in.

And it's usually hot, which is a bit weirder. Move it to cool. Yeah, true. You've got the power. True, that's true. Then kitchen water in fourth place. Kitchen water only just beating toilet water. What?

Sad to kitchen water. But I'm about it. Yeah, I wouldn't drink from the kitchen if I had the choice. I'd go outside. Okay, birthday banger is where we take your birthday and we find out what was number one on your 16th birthday and then we play the very best one out of those. First up's Kelly.

Hi, Kelly. Kelly, are you there? Oh, she gone. She just dropped. Let's see if we can get Kelly back. Are we going to maybe get Kelly back? Yeah. Let's see if we can.

Oh, not that one. Let's go to Sean. Okay. Hey, Sean. Hello, how are you? Good, mate. Welcome to Birthday Banger. What's your birthday?

Friendship never. Spice Girls. Are you happy about that? I think we've had that one, haven't we? Yeah, we have had that one.

You're right, it's been played. Which, I mean, you're obviously an avid listener of Birthday Banger. You know that that will work against you a little bit. But it's a classic. You know, it's a strong contender. It is a classic. It is. And topical as well.

Let's go to Kelly. We've got her back. And topical as well. Let's go to Kelly. We've got her back. Hi, Kelly. Hi. What's your birthday? 23rd of November, 1989. All right, Kelly, you were 16 on the 23rd of November, 2005. And on that day, this topped the charts.

Check it out. That awful song is going to be really hard to beat. Oh, it's a banger. It is. Catchy. Like, you've got to take yourself back there to what year, Ellie? 2005. 2005, when it was appropriate to have a song on the radio called My Humps.

Are you into it, Kelly? Do you want it to win? I feel like it was totally appropriate when I was 16 and now it's like really not appropriate for the radio. Yeah. I mean, come on, why not?

But that's why we probably need to play it. Yeah. One more and that's Gina. Hey, Gina. Hi. What's your birthday? 5th of the 9th, 1998. All right, Gina,

you were 16 on the 5th of September, 2014 and on that day this was number one. Who ain't gonna be so rude? Don't you know I'm human too? The band Magic and your song Rude. Oh, it's a good song.

It is a good song, yeah. And I haven't heard it for a while either. Me neither. So our birthday banger contenders today are Wannabe, My Humps and Rude. Or My Humps are Wannabe, My Humps and Rude.

Or My Humps, Wannabe, Rude. If you want to put it in a different order. I think you and me are on the same page with this, Ellie. I think we're going for the same thing, right? Yeah, are we going for it? Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's exactly what I wanted. This is the winner of birthday banger. For you, Kelly, congratulations.

Still good?

Still bangs? I reckon. It's a great song. It's a great song. Yeah, I like it. Alright, don't sing it. Okay. ZM, Bree and Clint.

Ooh. Ooh, it's going into a bit of a piano remix at the end. I was wondering what, if you find something off. No, that's in the song, apparently. Let's get retarded. Oh, you don't play that version anymore? We don't know that one.

Oh, no. Again, it was a different time back then. ZM Spree and Clint, the podcast. Glastonbury went down over the weekend to the biggest music

festival in the world. I'm pretty sure it's still the biggest, ahead of Coachella. If it's not, it's one of the biggest. It's the huge one that's usually full of mud in England.

Yeah. Like, it looks god-awful half the time. This year looked fantastic. They got sunshine. It was awesome. Yeah. All the videos and photos I saw was like, ah. Huge line-up that included Billie Eilish, Lizzo, Janet Jackson, George Ezra, Hoosier,

Tame Impala, Kylie Minogue. Massive. Massive Massive But arguably The biggest act To take the stage On the weekend Wasn't a musician at all

It was David Attenborough Oh Love him How much do we love David Attenborough He came out To rapturous Applause

And this is what David Attenborough Had to say On stage At Glastonbury Over the weekend Thank you There was one sequence In Blue Planet 2 which everyone seems to remember.

It was one in which we showed what plastic has done to the creatures that live in the ocean. And now this great festival has gone plastic free. Now let's get effing lit. I might have made up that. Real quote, real quote. I might have made that last bit up. Now let's all lose our biscuit for the environment. Okay, we've got to break this down too.

How much do we love David Attenborough? Heaps. Heaps. Too much. So much. He's becoming the face of the world, right? He is. And he has said in interviews, I haven't got long.

Is he in his 90s? He's a similar age to the Queen and he's gone. But he's using it for good. He's going, because he's like your grandfather and you do not want to let your grandfather down. You'll listen. He's going, guys, here's a treat you could do for me. Fix the world.

Oh, I know. I know. He's 93. 93. Looks fantastic. That Blue Planet 2, incredible. It's so good. His message is strong.

But if someone is going to save the world, it's going to be him. Yeah, it is. It's going to be him. So that was cool to see him out there. That's so good. His message is strong. But if someone is going to save the world, it's going to be him. Yeah, it is. It's going to be him. So that was cool to see him out there. That's so cool. The real awkward bit of it was there's like shots of him in the crowd. And it's great Glastonbury's gone plastic free. I don't know how they've done it.

Amazing. With the amount of drinks they have to serve and stuff like that. Yeah. Everyone's cheering away. And then there's a guy holding like a big plastic novelty inflatable hammer. Oh, God. Imagine being that guy in the crowd as David Attenborough is like, we can save the world. You're like rapidly trying to deflate this plastic inflatable that you've got.

He's like, yeah, I agree with David. Yeah. Brie and Clint, the podcast. Brie's not here. She's in Fiji at the moment. And hearing that moment, you go, oh, I wish I was in Fiji at the moment. And hearing that might make you go, oh, I wish I was in Fiji. Wish I was on holiday.

Today is officially the middle of the year. It's the 1st of July. So we're halfway through. Halfway to our Christmas holidays. Yeah, time for a holiday. Time for a holiday, right? And if you're feeling that at the moment, you're like, I just can't afford it.

Yeah, I've got an idea. Producer Ben has some information on how you could get a holiday very cheap, if not free. True. There's a place up north. You can book. It's almost like a book a batch kind of style or one of those. You just book this nice batch up north of Auckland.

It's called an instication. They're calling it. Yeah. An instication. $500 a night for you and a few others. Just a romantic getaway. How you pay for it is the likes on Instagram you get for posting about it.

Right. So let's say we stayed there, you and I. We went up, we had a nice romantic weekend. You and I. Yeah, and then you posted or I posted on our Instagram. I said, God, what a great place this is. Yeah. And I got 500 likes. It's free. Wow. But then if I got 200 likes, then it's $300 a night.

Wow. That's the way of doing it, Yeah, then it's $300. $300 a night. Wow. That's their way of doing it now. That's the future we're moving towards, right? I was saying to producer Ali, I wonder if supermarkets got on it. Like if I posted about the supermarket, then that's how much I get off my shopping. Right.

I guess it's just a different kind of influencing, right? Right. So you do it for likes. It's hard because someone with only 500 Instagram followers, it's going to be harder for them to get their 500 likes. But they might get 30 bucks back. But you might get 30 bucks back. Yeah, totally.

You know? Totally. But what if you're like a bikini babe and you go there and you've got 50,000 Instagram followers and you do one in the infinity pool where it's just the top of your butt cheeks, just like poking over the horizon of the waterline. Have you seen something recently?

Oh, I'm just imagining. Okay, of course you are. And it's like side profile and you can see the view, the waterline. Have you seen something recently? Oh, I'm just imagining. Okay, of course you are. And it's like side profile and you can see the view, obviously. Yeah. And so you get 8,000 likes. Are you in credit? Do they give you 7,500?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Do the accommodation place have to give you 7,500 dollars? I imagine it'll be in the TCCs that say something along the lines of, if you get that many, it's just free. Just free now.

And I wonder if there's things you're not allowed to put in, like nudity. They go, we want these, because there's a way to game your likes, right? Yeah. We want these kind of photos. We want it to look like this.

So I wonder if you go out there, there is a nice little bath or an infinity pool. So it's like, well, there's easy. And instication. The way to the future. That's the way of the future. Would you do that?

Of course you would. 100% I'd do it. Mate, I do Instagram posts for cat food. That's right. I would do it right now. ZM Spree and Clint, the podcast. Welcome to the show this afternoon. A man with a pretty incredible story from Upper Hutt.

Are you from Upper Hutt? Yeah, that's it. This is Chris Wild. Good afternoon, bro. Hey, brother. Okay, tell New Zealand what you've achieved in just 10 months. Yeah, so in 10 and a half months, I've lost 80 kgs and I've got my life back, I guess. 80 kilos in 10 and a half months.

Congratulations. First of all, that is a massive, life-changing achievement. What weight did you start at? Where were you? So my heaviest on the scales was 177 kg. Okay, and how tall are you? Are you a big guy? 181.

Right. So just under six foot. Just under six foot. Okay, so 10 and a half months, you managed to lose about half of your entire body weight. How did you do it? There'll be people listening right now going, that is not possible.

How did you do it? Well, my wife was a bloody great help. She was a good motivator. But essentially, i just had to put a line in the stand and decide enough's enough and that's it i was also an xbox player i played probably six hours a day destroyed my online world because i was very involved in the gaming community yeah just gave up on all of that yeah um so i wouldn't invest in being great in the real world. I invested in being great online and in the games that I played. So it was like a false self. And so for me, it wasn't until I got rid of that

that I could get a clear head, almost like a junkie or an addict, that I could have a clear head to get well in the real world. And for you, that was Xbox. That's cool that you're able to recognise that. I also read that at your height, you were spending $50 a day on Maccas. Yeah, so probably for 10 years, I spent roughly that much every day going to Maccas. So I had a sort of a standard order in the morning

and a standard order at night that I'd get pretty much every day. Oh, I have to know what the order is. I love Maccas, and no offence to Maccas by the way because everything in moderation and too much of anything is bad for you. But what was your order?

Oh, one of them was a large Mac Attack combo Adamic chicken on a steamed bun with cheese. It was always large with an orange juice and I got two ice cubes.

Sometimes there was a cheeky chicken with cheese on the side or whatever and I always paid cash because I'd skim money when I got petrol so that the wife didn't know. Yeah.

Our producer's just done the math, and he said that in 10 and a half months, you've saved $15,000 on McDonald's alone. Oh, yeah, that's right. So another one of my strategies for losing weight was obviously fixing the diet. And I got a bit of help from some products called Isagenix. And people say that that's an expensive route to take for weight loss. Is that the shakes? Is that meal replacement shakes? Yeah, shakes and supported cleansing as well as normal eating.

I thought the shakes were a scam. I thought you'd lose the weight quickly, but then you put it back on. So did I. So did I, dude. So I thought there was a scam too, but I reluctantly gave it a go when my own efforts weren't getting me that much of a progress. And I thought it was a bit expensive at the start, but as I got into it, I realized, well, okay, I'm not spending 50 bucks or 48 bucks or whatever it was a day on maccas.

It was clean, it was clear, it was simple. And for me, I needed that as a solution to make change. And I felt full and I felt full of energy. Yeah, so now I'm in that maintenance phase or just like keeping it off. And yeah, that's the next challenge. So, you know, if I can be an inspiration, that's cool. Yeah, and you are. Listening to you, the way you've taken control you know, if I can be an inspiration, that's cool. Yeah, and you are. Listening to you,

the way you've taken control of yourself, it is inspirational. That's where we wanted to get you on because someone will hear this and they'll go, wow, that's something

that I want to do for myself today. So, Christopher Wilde from the Upper Hutt from 177 kilos down to 93 kilos in just 10 and a half months. Well done
