Brie and Clint on ZDM.
And Clint on ZDM.
Kia ora New Zealand.
Four o'clock, Brie and Clint here.
Hello mate.
Hello mate.
How was your weekend?
Oh, it was good.
Oh, what was that sigh?
You were raving about it before.
No, I think I'm cursed.
Why?
I went to the Warriors game on the weekend.
Love the Warriors.
You can call me a day one fan if you like.
Well, that's not true.
You're a bandwagon jumper.
No, no.
Yes, you are.
Hey, whenever they're winning, I'm there.
I went to the game on the weekend.
Every single Warriors game I've ever been to, they've lost.
And what happened on the weekend?
I went, they lost.
We should test this theory.
Well, I don't think Warriors fans want us to test it.
Yeah, true.
They'd rather you not go.
You watch this.
I won't go to their next game and they'll win. All right. Well, we'll take note of that. Yeah. We, true. They'd rather you not go. You watch this. I won't go to their next game and they'll win. Alright,
well, we'll take note of that. Yeah. We'll see.
I'm going to buy tickets to the final
if they get into it, though.
Well, can you not? So then we can all actually
maybe have a chance. How was your weekend?
I went to Waipu.
I just went
there because I wanted to say that on the radio.
Is that the first time you've been able to say it without laughing?
Where'd you go?
Waipu.
Such a nice spot of New Zealand.
It's beautiful. Spot the
Australian. Hey, if you're the kind of person
who likes to Instagram your food,
stay listening because there is
a brand new cafe opening up that is
going to be all about you. You know where
else is a good spot? Waipu's
a great spot too. Brie and Clint on ZDM. This is going to excite you,. You know where else is a good spot? Waipu's a great spot too.
Brie and Clint on ZDM.
This is going to excite you I think Brie.
Auckland is set to get
New Zealand's very first
Instagram cafe. Why is that
meant to excite me? I don't know, you just
seem like the kind of person who'd be into it.
Just because I have my own food
Instagram that I run here with Cam Mansell.
Do you have a food Instagram?
Yeah, Cam Mansell from the Snapchat and I have one.
Now, a food Instagram is all about the name of the account.
What is the name?
Kiwi Brunch Hunter.
At Kiwi Brunch Hunter on Instagram.
Follow us now.
Well done.
Well, maybe you guys want to go to this cafe.
An Instagram cafe is opening in Takapuna on Auckland's North Shore.
And it will have good lighting.
It will have things on the wall that are very Instagrammable.
And it will also have a swing,
which they'll encourage you to sit in at the cafe and have an Instagram photo.
What, like the Bali swing?
Have you seen those?
No.
They have these swings in Bali that are literally just for the Instagram photo.
Oh, over the water?
No, it's over like the tree canopy.
Oh, okay.
There might be ones with water too.
Oh, this one has a picture of scenery behind it and grass underneath it.
So it could look like you're in Bali.
So you're saying that the cafe has positioned itself with the food might be average.
Could be.
Oh, we don't know that. The food could
be great as well, but they've positioned
themselves as in you can get a
great Instagram photo. That's it.
And you know what that is? They're making
you do all their marketing for them.
What I want to know is if I come there. It's a great
idea, can I say? Do I think
do I hate the age we
live in? A little bit, but is it a
good idea from them?
Yes.
You're making your customers do your marketing.
I want to know, like, if you go there and you post a photo for them,
you go, well, do I get a discount on my meal?
Because I've just done an ad for you guys.
Well, that's true.
I bet they've got, like, a graffiti wall.
Everyone loves a graffiti wall, don't they?
The wings.
Do they have wings?
The angel wings behind you.
The angel wings.
Because it is going a bit far.
You know when you see someone who's like literally standing on their chair
to get the perfect aerial shot of their acai bowl?
My favourite videos are the ones where someone like messes up their food.
If you're interested, if this is a bit of you,
you can visit Gong Cha in Takapuna from the end of this month.
Excellent.
I think the best type of Instagram, if you want to go follow ours,
we just post pictures of all of our finished meals.
Oh, is that?
Over the weekend, Clint, I felt cheated.
I felt lied to.
I feel like I found something out that I haven't found out
for a long, long time in my life.
Really?
My whole life.
You okay?
And I'm sure people listening right now have probably already uncovered this lie.
But some people might not have.
I was sitting there, TV on in the background, and I hear the ad for Weepix.
It's a great ad.
Jeez, what were you doing, watching TV in the 1980s?
I was at a holiday home.
There was nothing else on.
Right.
I feel lied to.
Me, being an Australian, I grew up knowing the ad to go like this. Aussie kids are Weet-Bix kids.
Aussie kids are Weet-Bix kids.
Sanitarium, the maker of Weet-Bix.
Have they been lying to you and have they been lying to me our entire lives?
You've stumbled across something that I found when I was 11 years old
and hoped would never break in this country just because I don't know if our strained relationship,
trans-Tasman-wise, can actually handle this.
I feel like it's not between us Aussies or the Kiwis.
I feel like it's between both of us and one massive company.
Of the Sanitarium Corporation.
Who've been lying to both of us.
Where are they from?
Are they in Auckland?
Are they in Australia?
Are they in both?
Where do they call home?
I don't know.
Who was first?
Or have they just been telling both of us
that we're Weet-Bix kids the whole time?
Did you have the Weet-Bix kids triathlon?
Of course we did.
What the f...
Yep.
Yep, you're angry.
I'm angry.
I feel like both of our countries have been lied to.
We need to get to the bottom.
You're telling me they had a Weet-Bix Kiwi Kids Triathlon in Australia.
It's a little bit different.
Okay.
I want to call Sanitarium right now.
See what's actually happening.
Who was first?
What's going on?
Good afternoon. Welcome to Sanitary and this is Sarah.
Hi, Sarah. My name's Bree. I'm an Australian who currently lives in New Zealand. And I
just got into an argument with my co-worker, Clint, who is a Kiwi. And we were having the
argument over who was the first Weet-Bix kids. Was it Aussie kids or was it Kiwi kids?
So, I mean, obviously there's some Weet-Bix in Australia and New Zealand.
So both Aussie kids and Kiwi kids have always had Weet-Bix.
Are you meaning in terms of the actual song that was produced?
If I could intervene, it's just that it says Kiwi kids are Weet-Bix kids
and then it says Weet-Bix kids are Kiwi kids.
So by definition, I've grown up just assuming that we were the Kiwi kids
and then you're saying the same to the Australian kids.
And I've only just learnt now that you guys were saying it to the Kiwi kids.
I feel, who was first?
It has been, I think there's a little bit of a,
what would you call it?
Lie? Yeah, like it has an, not a lie, no,
but there's been a bit of, you know,
it's quite hard to determine the exact date and timing,
but that became...
I guess we could settle this quite quickly now
and we could forget historical grievances
and just ask you once and for all, like right now.
Who was first?
So sanitary was in both Australia and New Zealand
and Weet-Bix is made in both Australia and New Zealand.
And not to get too deep into it,
but when it comes to gluten-free Weet-Bix,
who are those kids? Like are they South African kids? They to gluten-free Weet-Bix, who are those kids?
Like, are they South African kids?
Gluten-free kids.
Yeah, where do they live?
It's made in a factory designated
to purely gluten-free only foods,
and that's in Australia.
Thank you so much for your time.
We really appreciate it.
No worries at all.
Okay.
I think we got an answer.
I like Vita-Britz better anyway.
Can you give me a celebrity dating news siren, please? I think we got an answer. I like Vita Brits better anyway. Brie and Clint on ZDM.
Can you give me a celebrity dating news siren, please?
Just make one up.
What do you mean?
Just a siren to announce a celebrity dating news.
Woo, woo, woo, whoop.
Thank you.
There's celebrity dating news and it concerns Flume.
Oh, I love Flume.
Flume's got a new girlfriend.
Her name's Kelly Oxford.
What does Kelly do?
She's an author.
She's an author?
Yeah.
Kelly, Flume's new girlfriend, is 40 years old.
How old's Flume?
26.
Damn.
Get it, Flume.
Get it.
Get it, Flume.
That's a pretty big age gap.
So how many years?
14?
14 years. But it's the 20.
He's in his 20s and she's in his 40s.
It's the older lady situation too.
Because if that was the other way around.
What?
A man with a woman.
Yeah, like when a man dates a younger woman.
Yeah.
What, 40 to 26?
If it was a man, no one would go,
ooh, hang on a second.
Maybe.
40 to 26.
But it's more unusual. Yeah, I know. And look, we're not saying it's
wrong. They're both consenting adults. Flume's a very mature man. He once had a moustache.
Very rich man. So more power to them. He once had a moustache.
Yeah. Kelly also has three children. Does she? Yeah.
So good on her as well. Good on her for having three children. What am I saying?
Well done for bearing three kids, Kelly.
No, but now Floom's a stepfather essentially.
That's a lot to take on as a 26-year-old.
So Kelly has a 10-year-old, a 15-year-old, a 17-year-old,
and now a 26-year-old.
So wait, Floom is closer in age to Kelly's oldest kid
than he is to Kelly.
Yeah, yeah.
Interesting.
Do you think too that Kelly truly enjoys all of Floom's music?
As a 40-year-old who possibly enjoys Alanis Morissette more than she does Floom,
do you think she likes all his music or is she like, oh, it's a bit ravey?
Oh, well, she's 40.
She's not dead.
I was just thinking my auntie who she is a bit of a fox. Oh, well, she's 40. She's not dead. I was just thinking my auntie, who she is a bit of a fox.
Oh, yeah.
When she was 47, she was dating a 27-year-old.
Get it, Auntie Julie.
Did it last?
Eight years.
That's pretty good.
Yeah.
Well, he got into his 30s and he was like, oh, I really need to find a woman.
No, she looks better than him in the end.
This is the question I want to ask this afternoon.
I don't want to know, because age gap love gets done all the time.
Just very specific this afternoon.
How young's your boyfriend?
How young is your boyfriend?
Never let him go.
Can he buy his own beers?
And then you take him to a show.
He borrows your son's ID.
No, okay.
Are you a lady dating a younger man?
That's a very simple question.
0800-DOLL-ZM.
How old is your boyfriend?
Brie and Clint on ZDM.
Flume has a new girlfriend.
He's 26 and his new girlfriend is 40.
So we're asking you the question this afternoon. How young is your boyfriend? Oh, no, boyfriend. We don't know how his new girlfriend is 40. So we're asking you the question this afternoon,
how young is your boyfriend?
Oh, no, boyfriend.
We don't know how young your girlfriend is.
We're looking for the older ladies here.
How young is your boyfriend?
Does he ride a scooter?
You know, like, do you want to brag about it too?
Do you want to call in and go, I don't mean to brag,
but I've got a man who's...
When my auntie brought along to Christmas a 27-year-old boyfriend
and she was 47, we clapped her in.
Good job, Jules.
Love your work.
How was it though?
Like, was he...
I mean, you know, I was closer in age to him than Julie.
Yeah.
So we played Xbox on Christmas Day.
Girl, you know it's rough if your auntie's getting jealous of her niece, eh?
A couple of texts before we go to the phone, someone said,
I'm 30 as a lady.
She said 30 and a half, actually.
I think that's important.
I'm 30 and a half and my man just turned 21.
Get it, girl.
We've been together for two years.
Right.
I'm 50 in a month and my boyfriend is 36.
Oh, yes. Yes, same sort of situation. I bet those ladies boyfriend is 36. Oh, yes.
Yes, same sort of situation.
I bet those ladies are hot too.
Okay, Jo.
Hello, Jo.
Hello.
You have a younger partner, right?
Yes.
Okay.
How old's your partner?
Just turned 28.
Okay.
And can we ask you how old you are roundabouts-ish?
35.
It's not too bad. It's not too bad.
It's not too bad.
Slightly frowned upon, but it's okay.
No, I'm not frowning at all, Joe.
I say go for it. I think it's okay.
We have one of the younger men on the phone. Aaron,
now you have an older female
partner, is that correct?
Yes, that's right. Okay, how old are you?
So I'm 21. And how
old's your partner? 35. You're in the flume situation. How did you meet, I'd like to know?
So if you were from Christchurch, you'd understand Hornby Mall is probably not the most romantic
place in Christchurch. Yeah, great.
So she was trying to buy a cell phone one day, didn't speak any English,
so I spoke Japanese and translated for her.
Wow.
And, of course, she was older than you,
so you had to tell her how to work the phone and everything.
You came through and told her how to work the technology.
Borderline, borderline, close enough.
She'd probably slap me if I said yes, but anyway. Can I just say, impressive from you, Aaron, that you knew Japanese.
Yeah, I've lived there a couple of times and I speak fluently.
Okay, Aaron, as someone who's in the middle of an age gap love romance,
would you recommend it?
Yeah, actually, yeah.
At least the partner knows what they're talking about.
They're not stupid and childish.
And although occasionally the maturity side of it
is probably me more than her,
but it bounces off each other.
It works out pretty well.
That's what you've done.
You've found yourself an immature 36-year-old.
Yeah, well done.
Brie and Clint on ZM.
It's my birthday.
It's my birthday.
Brie and Clint's birthday banger.
Same Time Every Day gives us a chance to mess with the music here at ZM.
You call us with your birthdays, we put it into the big computer.
It figures out what song was number one on your 16th birthday.
I quite like letting people know as well.
Me too, it's fun.
Because you only get one birthday banger.
Kylie, hello.
Hello.
Hi.
What was your birthday, Kyle?
13th of August, 79.
Okay, Kylie, you were 16 in 1995 on the 13th of August
and this was Top of the Charts.
I'll be there for you.
Oh, the Fringe theme song.
Oh, my God.
So good.
Is there a more 1995 song than this?
Are you a Friends fan, Kylie?
Yeah, I am, actually.
Who isn't?
That show's so good. No, some people. Some people hate... Do you know some fan, Kylie? Yeah, I am actually. Who isn't? That show's so good.
No, some people.
Some people hate.
Do you know some people hate Friends?
No.
Yeah, I know.
But they exist.
Who hates Friends?
I met a guy who hates Friends.
We should get him on the show.
He was quite a sad person.
That's okay.
Let's go now to Amanda.
Hi, Amanda.
Hello.
Hi.
What's your birthday, Amanda?
31st of July, 1991. Okay, Amanda, you were 16 in, Amanda? 31st of July, 1991.
Okay, Amanda, you were 16 in 2007 on the 31st of July,
and this is your birthday banger.
It's time to be a big girl now.
Oh.
And big girls don't cry.
Amanda.
So good.
What a banger.
What a banger.
I mean, one of the slower, more emotional Fergie bangers, but you know.
Fergie, big girls don't cry.
That's one that you belt out in the car, isn't it?
Finally, Jimmer.
Hello, Jimmer.
Hey, Jim.
What's your birthday?
1st of February, 92.
Okay, Jim, you were 16 in 2008 on the 1st of February.
And on that day, this was top of the charts.
Gemma, you're a flow right alo, baby.
Do you remember that?
Yeah, I do, actually.
It's been mine and my best friend's favourite song.
There you go.
That's an absolute banger.
I put my back out to that song.
Did you?
Yeah, I was in a club and I bent down to be like, Jesus, how old are you?
With the fur.
Hey. Who's putting their back out in the club? You bent down to be like, Jesus, how old are you? Boots with the fur. Hey.
Well, who's putting their back up in the club?
You're older than me.
We have a decision to make.
Are we going to go with Friends theme song?
It's actually by a group called The Remembrance.
Are we going to go with Flo Rida, Low,
or are we going to go with Fergie, Big Girls Don't Cry?
Who are you voting for?
I'm so torn.
I really want to hear Fergie.
Me too. Should we do it? We should do a bit I really want to hear Fergie. Me too.
Should we do it?
We should do a bit of a sad sing-along for a Monday.
Okay, here you go.
Oh, hang on, let me just...
Wait for it.
You got it?
There it is.
Oh, yeah.
A birthday banger for Amanda.
Enjoy this, Amanda.
Yes, Amanda.
Yes, Amanda.
Belt it, Amanda. Yes, Amanda. Yay.
Belted girl.
ZM, Bree and Clint,
Fergalicious
and Big Girls Don't Cry.
That's birthday banger
for Amanda.
From what year?
2007.
Does a little bit of you
wish that we'd played this?
Kind of.
Kind of.
We should have played the Rembrandt's other hits.
Go deep into the Rembrandt's back catalogue.
I was doing that over the weekend, actually.
Were you?
Oh, there's too many hits.
Any bangers?
Yeah, too many to name.
Too many to play.
Brie and Clint on ZDM.
Listen up, everybody who has a gym membership
that you're maybe not using as much as you should.
I think I'm going to motivate you now to go back to the gym.
Why do I feel like this is an attack on me?
No, well, you're going to be the case study.
Look at it in a positive way.
I don't want to be the case study.
You're going to be the case study. Look at it in a positive way. I don't want to be the case study. You're going to be the motivational vehicle.
Great. So
Bree dragged me along when we first
started hanging out to a very
fancy gym class that she goes to. It's
called F45. It's not fancy.
It is fancy. No, it's not.
They've got video screens. You can wear heart
rate monitors, all this sort of stuff. The only reason
I go, it's because it's 45 minutes.
Yeah, to be honest, that is an upshot.
That's the only thing that enticed me.
Anyway, I didn't keep going.
Let's just say it's not for me, okay?
You were exhausted.
Be honest.
Well, it was a while ago.
Be honest, you sweaty beast.
Well, you said to me,
if you're not going to come, I'm still going to go.
I'm still going to go.
That was a while ago.
We're walking home on Friday after the show
and I said to her, oh, how's your F45
going? Because I know you signed up and I know
you've got that membership. I was only there on a trial basis
with you.
And you said to me,
since you've signed up, how many
times have you been to F45?
Twice. Twice.
There's a good excuse.
There's a very good excuse.
What's the excuse?
I hurt my ankle very badly.
That was like three weeks ago.
Yeah, it still hurt.
Okay, let's just do some math.
I don't want to do the math.
I want to work this out with you.
You joined the gym round about the same time you went to Taiwan to interview Paul Rudd.
How long ago was that?
Six weeks ago.
Six weeks ago.
And your fancy gym membership is how much per week?
Oh, my God.
I can't even say.
$66.
$66 a week.
All right, Producer Ellie, don't make me feel worse than I already do.
Okay, for a gym membership that you've used twice, you have paid.
I've been injured.
And also, I went through a breakup during that time,
so I wasn't motivated to go.
I feel like very good excuses.
$396.
God damn it!
Just a little bit of quick division for you.
That works out at $198 per gym class.
I'm cancelling it
right now. No, don't cancel it. Why
not? Because it's a good thing. I mean, it's pretty expensive,
but it's a good thing that you've got. And I
know the feeling of just having a gym
membership and you feel fitter just for having
it. Because if you have a big weekend, you say to yourself,
well, I've got that membership. Maybe I could go to
the gym on Monday. It's alright if I eat this whole
pizza because I'll go to F45
on Monday. And as you're eating it
you're going, I'm going to do so many F45s
this week. I'll do back to back F45s.
$66 a week though. Let's be real, you
never do back to back F45s.
Yeah, so does that make you want to go
this week? Because let me just say, if you
go twice this week, you will
effectively halve the cost of your gym membership.
They'll come down to $100 per
workout. And that's value for money.
Cheaper than a personal trainer.
God, you could pay someone to sit on your back
and do push-ups for that kind of money.
Makes me just want to cancel it, to be honest.
You won't be the worst one, though.
Okay?
You won't be the worst person.
Six weeks, to be honest, I thought it was longer.
Yeah, that's just the warm-up period.
Twice in six weeks.
You've got to give your muscles time to recover.
Twice.
I went once one week, once the next week.
That's not too bad.
I want to do an experiment for the people this afternoon
who are in your situation, okay?
0800 DIALZM or you can text us on 9696.
I need to know two things.
How long has your gym membership been inactive?
And by that I mean you've been paying for it, but not going.
Right.
And how much is it a week?
Let's find out together.
You know it's bad, people, when the gym texts you and they ask,
how are you?
We haven't seen you in a while.
Are you still alive?
Let's find out together how much money you have wasted.
Oh, so we're going to do the math.
Yeah, we'll do the math.
We'll do the math.
Don't you do the math.
All we need is two things.
A roundabout guess about how long it's been since you went to the gym
in months and weeks or years, whatever it is,
and the weekly cost, okay?
And together we're going to figure out exactly how much you've wasted
on a gym membership.
Brie and Clint on ZDM.
Brie has a very expensive and very inactive gym membership.
Your gym membership you've had for how many weeks?
Six.
Which costs you how much a week?
$66.
Has cost you $396 and you've been how many times?
I've been twice, but I went through a breakup and I also hurt my ankle.
Mate, a breakup is the time you go to the gym, you hit the weights,
you get your revenge body on. I wish I was that person, but I just hurt my ankle. Mate, a breakup is the time you go to the gym, you hit the weights, you get your revenge body on.
I wish I was that person, but I just eat a lot.
You're not the worst though.
And I'm not trying to fitness shame you here at all.
You're raining on my parade.
I'm just saying, for the price of this,
you could have got car insurance.
I could have got a lot of things.
You could have sorted a lot of things.
You could have got half that leather jacket.
Anyway, what we're going to do is we're going to
work out here people who are calling
through. Oh, so this will make me feel better.
Yes, this is people who haven't even been twice.
Okay? Excellent. The first person
we're going to is Michaela.
Hello, Michaela. Hi. Hi, how
are you going? Good. You're in a safe space.
Okay? We're going to work this out together. We're all
in this together, Michaela. I'm just as unfit.
Bree has the calculator.
We need to know how many weeks since you went to the gym?
So I've been signed up for about five weeks.
Five weeks.
How much per week is your gym membership?
$17.90.
$17.
I need to go to your gym.
Yeah, that's a good budget gym membership.
Here we go.
All right, okay.
So for having no workouts, you have paid...
$89.50, Michaela.
Oh.
That's not too bad.
It's okay.
That's all right.
I mean, for a gym membership you're not using.
You're getting the best value for money.
And feeling like you're trying at least, that's worth it.
And, Michaela, when you want to go, it's there, eh?
You can go whenever you want.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, cool, cool, cool, cool.
And it smells weird anyway.
Okay.
And working out is annoying.
Yeah, who cares?
Danielle, you're up next.
How long since you went to the gym?
Oh, well, isn't it?
Danielle, are you there?
Yes.
Oh, no, I want to know.
Danielle, one more chance.
Yes, we can.
How many weeks since you went to the gym?
36 weeks.
And how much is your gym membership per week?
$25.
$25.
All right, Danielle.
Danielle.
Danielle, the past nine months, you've spent $900.
Oh, ouch.
But what's your excuse?
I bet you've got a really good excuse.
She needs to buy a new phone.
That's her excuse, I think.
Let's do another one.
Hello, Michael.
Hello, Michael.
Oh, come on, Mike.
Come on, Mike.
Michael.
Don't worry, I've got his details.
Yeah, yeah, cool.
So apparently Michael hasn't been to the gym in 18 months,
otherwise known as 72 weeks.
18 months?
That's a year and a half.
Yeah, maybe he's had stuff going on.
Just quit your membership.
Okay, and how much is his membership?
And his membership is worth $15 a week.
It's nearly $1,100.
Last person, and we're not going to work out your one.
Rebecca, hello.
You just wanted to call through.
Hey.
I work at a gym. Yeah. Rebecca, hello. You just wanted to call through. Hey. I work at a gym.
Here we go.
We had a guy come in
and he was coming to re-sign for a
membership and he had actually been
paying for 18 months
of a membership he had never used.
And how much was he paying?
83 a month.
83 dollars a month?
What do you even get for $83 a month?
I feel great.
For $83, I'd want free muscles without the workout.
Hey, if you're heading home this afternoon, New Zealand,
you're going past the gym?
Nah, don't go to the gym.
I was going to say duck in.
Garlic bread's better.
Over the weekend, Clint, I nearly unfriended a friend of mine
when I overheard her coffee order.
Oh, are you all right?
And I was like, mate, that is the most obnoxious coffee order.
Just order a latte with skim milk.
That's fine.
What's her order?
So she ordered, and I had to write this down
because I couldn't remember it off the top of my head,
an extra large mocha, half strength, almond milk, extra foam, extra hot.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
And I was like, you're just asking for trouble.
I can't handle the extra hot people because when I get my coffee,
it's already extra hot.
Like it's hot, it's coffee, and you've got to wait for it to cool down.
That just means you've got to wait longer for it to cool down.
Who are these people with titanium taste buds?
Burns the roof of your mouth.
Yeah.
And I was thinking there's obviously people out there
who love to change up the orders and the baristas would have heard it all.
Yeah, it's the trademark coming with a real long order
that shows how much you know about coffee.
And she was like, I love my coffee this way.
It's taken me a long time to get this order.
And I said, oh, sorry, you're so fancy.
I actually put in a call earlier this afternoon, Clint,
where I thought, can I top that coffee order with obnoxiousness?
With obnoxiousness.
Yes.
And let me tell you, I think I've achieved it.
Good afternoon, Scratch Headquarters.
Hi, who was that?
Raph.
Raph, can I please order some coffees?
Yeah, sure.
What can we make for you?
Cool.
Can I please get a half-strength cappuccino?
Yep.
And can I also please get a three-quarter strength latte on soy?
Actually, do you guys have bonsai?
Have what, sorry?
Bonsai.
I'm not really sure.
Soy's fine.
Let's just go with soy.
So a three-quarter strength latte on soy.
Can I please get that extra hot with one pump of caramel, extra foam, and two ice cubes?
We don't have caramel.
Okay.
We just have sugar.
Sugar, cool.
Can I get one and three-quarter sugars in that, please?
So, three-quarter strength, two ice cubes.
Yes.
On soy?
Soy milk.
Extra hot?
What's the point of the ice cubes if
it's extra hot? It's just a thing that I
like. Extra hot,
soy milk, ice cubes. Extra foam.
Extra foam.
One and three quarter sugars, please.
And sorry to be annoying,
but can I please get that double cupped?
Double cupped?
Just because it's extra hot.
Okay.
How much was that going to come to, Raph?
$10 for the both.
Oh, perfect.
Cool.
Amazing.
The first one I've got, a single shot regular cappuccino.
Yep.
That was a half strength cappuccino.
Yep, single shot, half strength.
Regular cappuccino.
And can you just read out, yeah, the second order for me?
Because sometimes people, yeah, get it wrong.
Okay.
Three quarters strength.
So one and a half shots, two ice cubes, soy milk, extra hot, extra foam, 1.75 sugars, double cupped.
Yeah, you nailed it.
That's right.
That's perfect.
How long do you reckon that'll take?
Not long.
It should really just be about five minutes.
Perfect. I'll see you in five. Cool. Thank you. Thanks, Raf. Bye. Bye. Not long It should really just be about five minutes Perfect
I'll see you in five
Cool, thank you
Thanks Raph, bye
Bye
Jesus, he's good
You better go and buy that coffee
Because he's already started making it
I actually didn't even bring my wallet today
You don't even drink coffee
I don't drink coffee
Brie and Clint on ZDM
The massive music festival over the weekend
Splendour in the Grass Was happening in Byron Bay in Australia.
Very Instagram, that festival.
Huge.
The fashion that comes out of that festival.
Yeah.
Crazy.
It's like, if you had to compare it to New Zealand,
it's kind of like Laneway, I guess.
Kind of like Laneway.
It's very hipster,
but it's the ultimate music festival in Australia, right?
It's huge.
It's where all the big names play.
It goes for three days.
I mean, they had Khalid there.
Did they?
Yeah, Khalid was there.
I'm pretty sure.
Now I'm second guessing myself.
They had Kendrick.
Did they?
Yeah.
I'm pretty sure now that I've said that.
Anyway, one person that I do know was there,
our favourite, or particularly my favourite, Lorde.
Yeah.
She played and something happened on stage.
Did you see this?
Yeah, I read about it.
Have you seen the video?
No, I didn't see the video, but I've read about what happened
and I felt awful for her.
So she had a wardrobe malfunction and she handled it so well.
We've got the audio from it.
But I want to show you something crazy that just happened to me.
My shirt has become disconnected from my body.
Will you give me a second to fix this?
I'll run back.
This is crazy.
Talk amongst yourselves.
Talk amongst yourselves.
And then she runs off stage.
Yeah.
And the crowd starts singing
Hey, hey, baby
Hoo, ha
Yeah, at least they're into it
And then she comes back on
She's like, alright, I'm ready to go
What happened with the wardrobe malfunction?
Was it like, did she, you know, did you
So she was kind of wearing like a sports bra type of thing
Yeah
And then the back of it popped open
Oh, yeah
But she was so calm about it
God, I love her.
But the thing that I noticed,
do you think her accent is a bit different?
In that clip?
Yeah.
Hang on.
But I want to show you something crazy that just happened to me.
My shirt has become disconnected from my body.
Will you give me a second to fix this?
A little bit.
It's a little bit...
American?
It's a little bit American, but then it's still very Kiwi as well.
But then is it a little bit Australian?
It's like kind of all mixed in together.
Kind of like your mate who goes overseas for a bit and then comes home.
Obviously, Lorde's been overseas for four years.
So if she has been influenced,
she's been working with Khalid and stuff.
Not like my mate that went to the Greek islands
for two weeks and came back with a Greek accent.
God, I love her.
Yeah, right?
Oh, I love her so much.
Are you still trying to find her house?
Oh, I found it, mate.
Oh, no, don't do that to us.
Just don't go, okay?
No, I'm not going, I'm not going.
I'm not going.
Brie and Clint on ZDM.
Been a great weekend for me, Brie.
Why's that?
All weekend, everywhere I go.
Oh, show us your hair.
Take your hat off.
Have you got your perm yet?
See, and this is what comes with being a pioneer of a hairstyle.
If you don't know what we're talking about, for some reason,
Brie has decided
that I will pioneer
the male perm
for this show.
Get ahead of some fashion trend
that I'm not even concerned,
I'm not even convinced exists.
No, it does.
I read an article
that said the 80s perm
is coming back into fashion.
I said you should be the leader.
You should go first.
You should do it
for all the men out there.
As an update for you,
New Zealand, unfortunately, no perm yet.
You're going to have to wait seven more days.
And I'm not backing out of this, okay?
I'm going to get you stupid perm.
It's seven days till perm, everyone.
You told me that the fashion trend is coming back in.
Today, I just want the chance to see if that's true, okay?
I have three very influential phone numbers to call.
You're not allowed to say anything.
Who are they?
Well, the first one we're going to call
is New Zealand's leading men's fashion magazine.
This is M2 Man, okay?
I feel like they'll be on board.
You're not allowed to talk.
Fuck.
Magazine, Jennifer speaking.
Hi, Jennifer.
Just a quick question, re-men's fashion.
Is the perm coming back in?
Oh, I'm not too sure about that.
I don't think so.
You don't think so.
Okay, thank you.
That's all I need to know.
Thanks, bye.
That was a no.
Well, she didn't know.
The next place we're going to call
is the place where I get my hair cut.
Barker's Groom Room, okay?
These guys know men's fashion.
In fact, they only do men's fashion.
Do they do perms?
Well, let's find out.
Is this a male barber?
Yes.
They don't do perms there.
Barker's Groom, Ponsubi Vittoria speaking.
Hi there.
Just quick hair question.
Have you done any men's perms in there recently?
No, we don't do these things, like a technical. You don't do a perm on a man? No, we don't do these things, like a technical.
You don't do a perm on a man?
No, we don't.
Why is that?
Is it not fashionable?
It's not.
It's just because that's a barber salon.
Usually barber salon,
I think they don't do this.
Yeah, but personally,
do you find a perm on a man attractive?
Yeah.
What?
Yeah, I think so.
No, that's not,
that's not,
okay, thanks, bye.
Ignore him.
Yes!
And his accent,
you could tell he was hot.
No, no, no.
You could tell he was on brand,
on fashion.
He'll be an intern or something.
His accent did things to me.
I just want to talk to,
I just want to talk to one woman,
okay?
I just want to talk to,
so what we're going to do
is we're going to just pick up a random line here in the building.
This is going to reception, and I just want a lady's opinion, okay?
Okay.
And Zedmi Central, Mandy speaking.
Mandy, Clint here from ZM.
I don't have time to muck around.
Perm on a man, not an attractive thing, right?
Do you find a perm attractive?
Oh, yes.
No, Mandy.
No.
Oh, I do. No, Mandy. No.
Oh, I do.
No, Mandy.
Mandy.
She's in.
Mandy.
We organised this.
Bye, Mandy.
Thanks for your help.
Bye. Bye.
Bye.
Oh, Mandy's confirmed it.
Antonio Banderas has confirmed it.
You're in.
The perm is on fashion.
What is going on?
It's trendy.
Brie and Clint on ZDM.
You know when you get in an Uber and the guy is just doing the most.
Same with a taxi, but not to the same degree.
Because look, if you don't have Uber where you live,
the idea is the driver survives as an Uber driver by your rating,
by doing things to impress you, giving you a clean cab,
giving you good service, being friendly,
making sure he goes the right direction, so that you give him a good rating.
Which they also rate you as well.
Yes.
So you need to be a good passenger.
So it works on both ends, which I like.
It's a wonderful relationship that draws on responsibility.
It's good.
I was talking to our producer, one of our producers, Ben, this morning.
He said he got into an Uber over the weekend and this was playing.
Now true New Zealanders will recognise that
as our alternate national anthem,
the theme song to Lord of the Rings.
I always find it so interesting
to hear what Uber drivers have on.
Yeah.
So he says to the guy, why are you, he said, look, first of all, fantastic.
This is beautiful.
But why are you playing the Lord of the Rings theme song?
The guy said, oh, I just thought that's what you guys listen to in New Zealand.
He'd been here two days, apparently.
It's adorable.
The guy's only been in the country for two days and is still getting accustomed to the culture.
He was after those five stars, mate.
Yeah, but he wanted the five stars,
and he said, what are the Kiwi customers?
What are my new Kiwi customers going to enjoy?
What's my audience?
Lord of the Ricks.
Know your audience?
And he got the five stars.
Oh, he nailed it.
I mean, better than getting in,
he's playing the Shortland Street theme song.
Still good.
But this is good.
And I said to Ben, so what did you give him?
He goes, no doubt, mate.
Five stars.
Of course he's getting five stars.
He's going the extra mile.
Yeah.
I took an Uber a couple of weekends ago and we get in.
There's like four of us girls and we're headed, you know, to town.
Were you drunk?
No, we weren't.
But obviously we're up for a party.
We're on our way out.
And the guy goes, are you girls up for a party?
And we said, yeah.
Next minute, two subwoofers come on.
This comes on the back.
Lights.
There was lights in the car.
Two subwoofers.
I've turned around to look in the boot.
Biggest 15-inch subwoofers I've ever seen.
Turned into a full party car. It was a full
party car. Because there are some Uber drivers
out there that have all of that going, but
then they also have a full karaoke set up too
because you know you can get the DVD screens in the back of the headrests.
They'll turn their Uber into a
karaoke machine and you can sing in it.
Have you heard about the phantom Uber driver
that kicks around Auckland
and apparently he's got a full
sky roof. So it got a full sky roof.
So it's a full glass roof.
Yeah.
You can sing karaoke in the Uber,
full light show, everything, the whole bit.
That's a genius move too because you'll be in there
and your friend will be doing a song
and you won't have done yours yet
and you'll be like,
oh, just do a couple more blocks.
I need to get my song in there as well.
I've got to get Baby Gut back in.
This might be tough because it might be
hard to call while you're driving, but
0800 dial ZM
Uber drivers
how are you going
the extra mile for your customers?
What are you doing differently in your
Uber? Yeah, what's your thing
that guarantees you five stars every time?
Maybe you've got an espresso machine
in the car.
I'd love to see that.
Maybe one hand is driving and the other hand is giving a foot massage.
I mean, that's a bit creepy, but you know.
Also dangerous.
Dangerous too, yeah.
I don't know what it is.
I'm not an Uber driver.
Or if you've seen an Uber driver
that's doing the extra mile,
we'd love to hear from you as well.
If you don't want to come on,
you can text us on 9696 as well.
But just the Uber drivers this evening.
0800 dial ZM.
How are you going the extra mile to get your five stars?
Give us a call.
Brie and Clint on ZM.
How has your Uber driver gone that extra mile?
Or you as the Uber driver,
what are you doing to guarantee you get those five stars?
Now, producer Ben got into an Uber,
which was playing the Lord of the Rings theme song.
Do you know this song goes for 13 minutes?
And it's all pan flute.
It's a bit like the movie.
Goes for bloody ages.
Someone texted her and said,
on the way home, my Uber driver took me through the McDonald's drive-thru
because I asked him to.
He paid for my McDonald's.
What?
See, that to me goes, hang on,
is your Uber driver on the piss as well and needed a feed?
But you know what?
You're not not going to give that guy five stars, right?
Literally, my mind just went to,
how can I find that Uber driver to take me home?
Oh, $800.
And maybe you are an Uber driver
driving right now. We'd like to know
how are you going the extra mile to get
the five stars? Harry, you're not a driver, but
you're a passenger who's had a fantastic driver, yeah?
Yeah, that's the one.
It's pretty awesome, eh?
What do you do?
I open the door, and instantly you're
met by all these multicoloured lights on the
trim of the door.
That was all I was like, okay, okay, I like it.
And then on the back of his headrest, he had this Velcro strap and he had water bottles, mints.
He had this sign saying, if you want to play music, blah, blah, blah, all that.
And then on the back of the same seat, he had his hotspot password to do Wi-Fi.
Free Wi-Fi in the Uber.
Yeah.
And then my girlfriend had it the other day
where the driver had his dog
just in the back of the car
just chilling,
giving her cuddles.
No way.
Yeah.
There was a dog in the Uber.
Yeah.
That's my dream Uber.
See, it's drivers like that
who are doing so much
that makes me feel bad
for giving the guys
who don't do anything
five stars, you know?
That's amazing.
Where's the extra level
you can go to for that guy?
Where's the six star?
Where's the super like?
You can leave a compliment.
Yeah.
You can leave a compliment.
Did you leave one, Harry?
Oh, I just like
letting them know on the spot.
I just told them
he's a top bloke.
Yeah.
Because it's the little things
that just go the extra way.
Like they go, you know,
you remember them. Yeah. Like right now I'm talking about them. For sure. Yeah, now just go the actual way. You remember them?
Right now I'm
talking about
For sure.
Yeah,
you're talking
about them.
Yeah,
yeah,
yeah.
That's
fantastic.
We're wondering,
obviously,
thanks so much
for your call,
Harry.
Appreciate it.
I'm wondering
why no Uber
drivers are
calling through
and I figured
it out.
Why?
They're all
listening to
MyFM.
Oh,
they don't
have band
expanders.
I forgot
about that.
Brie and
Clint on
ZDM.
Please give a
round of
applause to New Zealand's men and women's sevens team.
Yay!
Over the weekend and this morning, both winning the world championships.
They're world champions.
The women, Brie, the New Zealand women's sevens team,
first to go back to back.
I know one of them.
Which one?
Can't remember, but I met her on a night out.
Yeah.
And now we're Instagram
friends. Oh, you're obviously tight
if you remember. Was it Portia?
No, Portia Woodman.
She's awesome. She's incredible.
Not to
intentionally steal the limelight, but I
feel like perhaps the men's
team are going to get all the headlines tomorrow.
So there's an image
where our New Zealand men's sevens team are standing there with
their gold medals.
It's in San Francisco where the world champs were.
And they've all got their medals and they've got the trophy.
Fine.
Absolutely fine.
One of the players is butt naked, like 100% naked, still sweaty from the game and sitting
atop the shoulders of another member of the team
who is fully clothed.
I think I need to investigate this.
Have a look at this.
He's, look, he's still pink.
Like, you can tell that he's still like.
Yeah, he's been exercising.
He's either just come off the field or he's just come out of the shower.
I'm mainly worried for the guy that he's sitting on top of, his shoulders.
No.
It looks to me that he has a man bun.
The guy who is hoisting the naked man.
Yes.
Yes, I saw that.
And where his ponytail would be would be very close vicinity
to that guy's franks and beans.
Now, on that, do a zoom, so pinch in on that.
How much does
the ponytail and man bun of the
guy who's being sat on
look like it's just a bushy mess
coming out from the crotch of the naked man?
See they haven't thought about that
part. That's amazing.
God they're a good looking team.
Hey producer Ben can we get the rugby
sevens on because they won
for no other reason just because they won we want to Rugby Sevens on? Because they won. For no other reason.
Just because they won, we want to support the team.
All right?
Lock that in for tomorrow.
How can we do this?
Excellent.
I'll tell you what.
If you'd like to see the photo,
we're going to put it in our Instagram story right now.
Okay?
You can search Bree and Clint.
I'm not confident to put it in our feed.
I think we might get our account suspended.
Yeah, put it in the story.
Bree and Clint.
Just if naked dudes are your thing.
Yeah, can we lock in that interview, please?
Brie and Clint on ZDM.
