Yeah, it's on.
Guys, I've got an idea for the podcast intro.
Because I didn't have an idea.
Are we still calling people?
Someone messaged us wanting to be called the other day.
Oh, really?
Yeah, remember when you called that random listener?
Do you have them?
Do you have it up and on?
While you do that, I'll pad for time.
I said we should do an experiment and give our social media handles a plug.
Oh, yep.
Yeah, shameless plug.
I like it.
Real self-indulgent old podcast intro.
Yeah, cool.
Do you have anything to entice the people,
producer Ellie, to follow you on the socials?
Well, if you do head to Ellie on the telly on Instagram
and you scroll down far enough, you will see.
Lots of boob shots.
Yep, there's a naked photo of me covered in pancakes from McDonald's.
That's actually true.
Yeah, if you want to see that one.
What else do I have there?
No, it's probably the best one.
The most gross one, actually.
I feel weird looking at that photo, to be honest.
I feel real strange.
If you want to, what is it?
At Ellie on the telly.
Yeah, Ellie.
I can't even spell my own name.
E-L-L-I-E is how you spell my Ellie.
And then on the telly is with a Y.
I like it.
If you want to follow me on the social, probably don't.
Not much good stuff on there.
No, it's great.
I'm actually about to post a new compilation video of me and my mum.
I have had a preview.
I've had a pre-screening of it.
I did give you a pre-screening.
Yeah, I saw the premiere.
Yeah.
And it's bloody great.
Just this one clip of my mum that's going to be in it.
Mum, did you wee in the pool again?
You can't wee in the puppet pool.
She loves it.
She loves it.
She loves it.
Yeah, just a whole lot of that stuff.
Yeah.
And Ben, he just posts a lot of tramping.
Yeah, hiking and bushes.
Outdoor stuff.
I'd rather be outdoor than I would be indoor.
Oh, well.
You know what we should do?
What? Because, I mean, this is so self-indul. Oh, well. You know what we should do? What?
Because, I mean, this is so self-indulgent.
Now looking back on it, we look like dicks.
If you want to give your socials a plug on the podcast intro,
we should get people on every now and then and have a chat to them
and you can plug your own social.
Yeah.
I like that.
Yeah.
And then we can create a community.
Oh, let's create a community.
Yes.
Like, yeah, Fletch, Vaughan and Megan have a community.
They do.
We should start a Facebook page.
Should we start a private group?
Should we?
Yep, I think we should.
What should we call it?
What are Fletch, Vaughan and Megan's called?
The FVM International Podcast Family because obviously a lot of podcasters are international.
We should call it Albinos or Orange.
Good.
That's an inside joke.
But hey, if you know, you know.
You know, you know.
Guys, here's the podcast.
Enjoy.
Afternoon, New Zealand.
We're back.
And by we, I mean not Clint, but me and the producers, Ellie, Ben,
we're all here.
We've got a massive show for you today, actually.
There's a lot of good stuff coming up on the show.
But there's some controversial cooking methods going down in the studio
right now.
Yeah, I know.
And I feel like Producer Ben and I are on one page
and Producer Ellie's on the other.
I don't know what you're talking about, to be honest.
So I decided to make a sneaky little Mie Garang noodles.
Are you right there, mate?
We're on air right now.
You've picked the worst time to be like, you know what?
Two minutes before we go on air, I'm going to eat just some really sloppy Mie Garang noodles.
Okay, I'll stop now.
And then I influenced Producer Ellie to go get some.
You did.
But what's wrong?
You know what was wrong?
What did I do?
Your method of cooking Mie Gerang noodles.
And for people listening who haven't had Mie Gerang, there's like, what?
There's two, there's a powder.
There's like a garlic thing.
The chilli thing.
And then there's a chilli one, a soy one, and then like an oil one.
So there's heaps of stuff to put in.
You decided to cook the noodles, drain them.
Yeah.
And then put the stuff on top.
Yeah.
No, no, no.
What?
You make all, you put all the ingredients in a bowl, a little bit of water and you stir
it up and then you throw the noodles.
So they're all together.
Wait, hang on.
So I'm meant to mix all of the stuff separately in a cup.
No, in a bowl. No, no, no. all of this stuff separately in a cup? First.
No, in a bowl. No, in the bowl with the noodles.
And then you throw the wet noodles on top of your mixture.
Interesting.
I've never done that.
I've never seen anyone do that in my life.
Because it was just weird for you to bring out what looked like plain noodles.
Yeah, and then I sprinkled it on top and then I mixed it around.
It's the same thing though, right?
Yeah, but you don't get as...
I don't want it watery.
I don't want it watery.
It takes the flavour away. Yeah, but you can still drain it afterwards. Yeah't want it watery. I don't want it watery. Takes the flavour away.
Yeah, but you can still drain it afterwards.
Yeah.
Yeah, but then the flavours drain out with it.
You put a tiny bit of water.
Anyway, we could argue about this all day.
Okay, no, I'm enjoying it.
You can text us on 9696,
which is the right way to make me garang noodles.
Your way just uses more dishes, in my opinion, so...
Yeah, well, kind of.
You can win that trip to Bali on the show today
at around 5.30 with Birthday Banger.
You just need to get your birthday song played and you'll be going on that list to win that trip to Bali on the show today at around 5.30 with Birthday Banger. You just need to get your birthday song played and you'll be going on that list to win that
trip to Bali.
All thanks to Grab One and Dark Travel.
Surely it can beat yesterday's Gangnam Style.
Oh, dang it.
I liked yesterday's, can I say, Gangnam Style.
I'm looking for something like that.
The Macarena.
No.
You do it for me.
No.
Yes, it would.
That is not going to happen.
No.
Yes, it would. No way. No, that is not going to happen. No way.
No way.
I can't wait, actually. 5.30 is when
you need to be listening out for that.
ZM, this is I Don't Care with Ed Sheeran.
ZM, Spree and Clint.
The podcast. Something has
happened. It's erupted in the studio. We weren't
meant to talk about something else here, which we will
later on, but we need to address
the me garang
method of cooking because we were just
discussing it just before
because I cooked my me
garang and I think people are confused
at the exact method that I was saying. I'm not
putting all the water in
the flavouring. I'm putting a tiny
tiny bit so that the
flavours mesh together and they're able to, you know,
play off each other and it creates like a sauce.
All right, yep.
Creates like a sauce in the bottom of the bowl.
Not much water, tiny bit.
Okay.
And then you drain the noodles and you throw that in there
and it just coats the noodles with a nice shimmery kind of, you know,
flavour enhancing sauce.
Has anyone on the text machine agreed with you here, Brie?
There's one.
Really?
I've gone to Ellie.
There's about one.
But there's a lot of people agreeing with you, saying the method is you cook the noodles,
throw them in the bowl, and then you add all the flavourings on top, and then you mix.
Yeah, totally.
Which, I mean, I've done it that way before.
It's the raw flavours.
You're not draining it.
You're not getting rid of anything.
You're getting all that bad goodness.
I'm not draining those flavours.
Yeah, true.
Producer Ben was saying that he drains the flavours.
Yeah, I do, yeah.
You drain the flavours?
Yeah, I do.
I can't deal.
I put it all in the water with the noodles
and then put all the flavours in
and it just soaks into the noodles.
Does it?
No.
It does.
It definitely does
because when I eat the noodles,
there's flavour.
That gives me anxiety.
What about the fried little onion garlic bits? Do they just drain out when you drain it? I. It does. It definitely does because when I eat the noodles, it's flavor. That gives me anxiety. What about the fried little onion garlic bits?
Do they just drain out when you drain it?
I don't know.
Everyone knows that you don't put those in the bowl.
You wait until all the noodles are in, you mix them,
and then you put them on top so it's crunchy.
Gotcha.
Okay.
But it's interesting.
There's a few methods that I've never even heard of.
Oh, yeah?
Okay, here's some of these.
So one person said that they actually cook the noodles in a pot
and then they heat up the soy and the oil.
They heat it up in the water.
Oh.
Or put it in the water with the –
I think so.
Oh, yeah.
I thought you meant a separate water.
I was like, okay, I don't have time for that.
And then someone says that they actually put the oil in the water
that the noodles are cooking in.
Oh, that's smart.
Really?
I've never heard of that.
Don't mind that.
Okay.
So it says here, neither way you guys are doing it is correct.
You have to put the powder in with the water.
You cook it, drain it, and then add the chilli and other stuff before eating.
Oh, so you do the powder with the drain?
With the water.
But then everything else.
Which I don't know.
Who would have thought there were so many ways to make two-minute noodles?
Don't you dare call them.
Hey, whoa.
Sorry.
I've got a name.
Say their name.
Yeah, you say their name.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Glad we, guys, I'm glad we finalised that.
Next, though, I've got a really amazing idol contestant.
Probably the best yet.
Oh, okay. Can't wait. Yeah, here it
is. This isn't the idol contestant.
Oh.
Bree and Clint,
the podcast. ZM.
Clint is away at the moment on daredevil. We're all here.
Bree is here, myself, producer Ben and producer
Ellie. Hello. You found
an interesting thing on the interwebs,
Ellie. On the interwebs, it's delivered for me.
I do love my idol shows, my Got Talent shows.
Mate, have you ever seen a show called The Four?
The Four?
Like The Number?
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
No, what is that?
Oh, it's a singing show.
It's so good.
Oh, there's my night's sleep.
Go onto YouTube, look it up.
But you've been on the YouTubes.
I've been on the YouTubes today.
And it's actually reminded me, do you remember back in the day
when American Idol first started?
It was like the first viral video actually I reckon we ever saw.
Okay.
William Hung.
How could we forget?
He sung.
She bangs, she bangs.
She bangs.
Yeah.
Oh baby, when she moves, she moves.
Is this a produced version though?
Yeah.
Yeah, so he released a single afterwards I'm pretty sure.
And I think it did pretty well on the charts.
Yeah.
I've never heard of it.
Yeah, no.
But you showed me a clip and I was like, that guy is...
He's so cute.
He's so cute.
He's like waving his arms.
A lot of energy.
He's loving it.
I think he went through.
Didn't he go through?
No, I think he did.
Everyone just appreciated it.
Yeah.
But I might have just found something that's topped it.
What?
Tops William Hung?
Yeah, maybe.
How dare you.
And he's also sung a very, very original song,
which is what has made it so interesting.
So the judges have actually said to him,
please make sure you do an original song
because we're seeing a lot of people doing the same songs.
And this guy...
Oh, that gets good brownie points when they come up
and they do something really original.
Yeah, really original, yeah.
So this is a South African idol.
And the guy's called Linda Sasebo
and he basically came in with an amazing rendition.
I'm just going to let Ben play it
because the music speaks for itself, really.
Okay.
Happy birthday to you.
Happy birthday to you.
Happy birthday, happy birthday. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday, happy birthday, happy birthday to you.
How old are you now?
Yeah, it keeps going.
How old are you now?
I feel like I'm back at my 12th birthday when my uncle Ricky would get real drunk
and he'd be down the back and he'd be like,
Yeah, there's a third verse.
I love this.
How good.
This is why, kids,
you don't turn up
to an American Idol audition drunk.
Nah, see, I think he's,
and I, it's my birthday.
Oh, it's still going.
It's the gift That keeps on giving
It's actually my birthday
Next week guys
So I expect like a live
Performance of this
Of this?
Yeah of
But I want Linda here
I want you to fly him over
Imagine if we flew Linda over here
Oh that would make my life
Nah
We don't care about you that much
Oh

The podcast
Live from Hollywood
With our man on the ground
Z McCarthy Spy.co.nz Franklin, the podcast. Live from Hollywood with our man on the ground, Dean McCarthy.
Spy.co.nz.
Yes, exclusive to us, it's Dean McCarthy who's live in L.A. right now.
Hello, Dean.
Hello, everyone.
I miss you all.
I miss you too.
How's sunny L.A.?
Fabulous.
It's a boiling hot.
It's 1,000 degrees.
My spray tent's dripping off as we speak.
I bet. It's in the photo, Dean.
That's just for Ben.
Ben just wants a photo.
You've been up to some cool stuff
at the moment. You've been to the premiere screening
of the new movie, Booksmart.
So funny.
I can honestly say this is the funniest movie
I've seen this year. I think Bridesmaids,
it's the new Bridesmaids.
It's about two girls at a high school.
They were very, very academic, and right on their last day of high school,
they realised, wait a second, we missed out on all the fun.
So they have one big night to make up for an entire lifetime
of hardcore studying, and I was killed over.
It's a 10 out of 10.
Oh, wow.
In terms of humour, 10 out of 10.
I've never laughed so hard in my life.
I've heard a lot of people saying it's very similar to Superbad,
which is one of my all-time favourite movies,
but it's like the girl version because obviously in Superbad
there's two main guy characters, but this is two main females.
They're at high school.
It sounds very similar to Superbad.
It kind of does Have a bit of a
Superbad vibe
I know what you mean
In fact head online
To ZM online
And you can see my interview
With the two leads
And you will get a vibe
Of just how funny they are
And it's funnier
It's literally the funniest
Movie I've ever seen
In my memory
I was in tears
Of laughter
I actually saw
A few bits and pieces
Directed by Olivia Wilde
Which I mean
This is her first
Big director role
Which will be really cool.
I'm so pumped to see this film.
It looks awesome.
Something else I'm very excited about, Dane,
and I've fangirled a little bit, I saw Bindi Irwin.
She's off the market.
She, okay, today Bindi Irwin made me feel old, single and poor.
The poor bit was just because she's rich.
Here's the deal, right?
She turned 21 yesterday,
I think it was.
Happy birthday.
And she got engaged
on her birthday as well,
which is great news.
I don't want to be
the bitter old guy
from Hollywood,
but I'm feeling
a little bit bitter
and I'm feeling very old.
She's 21.
Bindi Irwin is 21.
Here's the funny thing
about Bindi Irwin,
Bob and Terry, of course.
They are literally
A-list celebrities
in Hollywood.
Without exaggeration, they are literally mega, of course. They are literally A-list celebrities in Hollywood.
Without exaggeration, they are literally mega, mega stars.
Really? America is obsessed.
Obsessed with these guys.
Even when Bindi did Dancing with the Stars America, she won the show.
Oh, that's right.
That's right.
And she was good, though.
She was a good dancer.
She was good.
Crikey, she was good.
She did that.
Crikey.
You see?
See, that was an old joke. No, it was good. It was good. No, we'll pay that. I cankey, she was good. She'll do that. Crikey. You see? See, that was an old joke.
That was good.
That was good.
We'll pay that.
I can't believe she's 21, getting engaged,
and yesterday I ate grated cheese out of a bag for dinner.
Thank you, Dean.
We appreciate that.
We'll catch up with you tomorrow.
Thanks, mate.
Talk then.
Spy is brought to you today by grabaseat.co.nz.
Their birthday sale is on now and it ends at midnight tonight.
Head to grabaseat.co.nz to grab a deal today.
Bree and Clint, the podcast.
ZM.
Something that's become obviously a massive problem in society today
is smartphones.
And not only because obviously they're so addictive
and people spend so much time on them,
but it's a real safety concern when people are driving.
And you told me a really concerning stat earlier today, Ellie.
Yeah, they've done a little case study
in the Victoria Park Tunnel in Auckland.
Yes.
It was like a crash study, so they were just doing it.
And they were catching someone on their phone every three minutes
driving on the motorway.
In a tunnel.
In a tunnel, yeah.
Where if you literally swerve a tiny bit, there's a car right there.
Exactly.
They literally had a crash the other day.
It wasn't cell phone related,
but it blocked out the traffic for hours in that tunnel.
So it was very, very dangerous and not ideal.
In 2010, so it's been about, it was banned in 2010,
texting and driving or using your phones.
Oh, really?
Was it only 2010?
Yeah, but it's nearly 10 years ago now.
But yeah, it was only 2010.
But still, if you think about phones,
they're probably around a little bit longer than that.
Yeah, probably more like 20 years or so, 18 years.
Yeah, in 2010, they caught 8,000 people.
Okay.
And in 2016, they caught 28,900 people.
And they're forecasting that this year it will be higher than 29,000.
So it's just getting worse and worse and worse.
People, I think, are getting a bit confident because, you know,
people are doing it.
And they go, oh, I'm all right.
I'm not crashing.
I'm sweet as.
I'm not going to get caught.
Yeah.
But, no, they're watching and they're catching, yeah, I'm all right. I'm not crashing. I'm sweet as. I'm not going to get caught. Yeah. But no, they're watching and they're catching people every three minutes.
But in New Zealand, when you get caught, it's an $80 fine.
I was going to say, what is the fine in New Zealand?
Yeah, $80 and 20 demerit points.
And like, in my opinion, that's not a huge fine for something so dangerous.
Yeah, right.
And I was saying to you when you were telling me this that in Australia
they're going absolutely
hundy with it, aren't they? In Queensland
they're looking at a $1,040
fine and on the
second infringement you lose your licence.
Boom. So it's gone.
Yeah, they're not messing around over there, are they?
In the state of British Columbia and Canada it's a
$620 fine.
In the UK it's a $370 fine and you lose half your merit points in one go.
Wow.
So, yeah, it's a lot stricter overseas.
How did you get?
Is it 90?
I actually am not sure what you start on.
In New Zealand?
Yeah.
I think it's 100.
Yeah, that sounds right.
No, I think it's 120.
Because in Australia, we get 12 points.
But it's like the equivalent. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. So, you guys get Australia, we get 12 points. But it's like the equivalent.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
So you guys get 120, we get 12.
Gotcha.
Yeah.
Yeah, so compared to the rest of the world,
we're not actually that strong.
Not really up to date.
And clearly, they need to be because of the amount of people they're catching.
So they're saying that the Associate Transport Minister,
she's saying that they're going to be looking at the fines.
So just watch the space.
I mean, let's be real, $80.
You know, it stings.
It is a lot of money, but it's...
It stings, but it's not $1,000.
No.
And that's not...
You go.
Yeah, that shouldn't even be what is deterring you
from using your phone, though.
No, it should be the danger that you're putting yourself
and other people in.
Other people in, yeah.
Yeah, exactly.
Well, that's the thing.
You're making the decision to use your phone while driving.
Yeah.
But what if someone around you never uses their phone
and you end up, you know, killing someone?
Exactly.
Because you weren't concentrating.
I mean, it's just as bad as drink driving.
Yeah.
It's not worth it.
Just don't do it.
Yeah.
So look out because obviously those fines and the rules
and regulations could change very soon.
Mm-hmm.
ZDM Spree and Clint, the podcast. I want you to think about a time in your life where very awkward situation,
I believe for me, where you have an argument with a partner in public.
Yeah, not great.
It's something I don't deal well with at all and usually I just shut down
and then in the past that's just made the other person angrier.
That's what always happens.
Yep.
And I really cringed when I watched this next video,
which we're about to play a piece of audio from.
So picture this.
They're on a plane.
It's a girlfriend.
She's with her boyfriend and I think they're fighting about the fact that he was looking at another woman.
Yeah.
And she's seen this.
And a public argument has broken out on an airplane.
Take a listen.
Shut the f*** up.
Yeah, you better believe it.
I'm wearing the f***ing s*** in front of the public.
You want to f***ing look at other women's s***?
You ain't going to look at other women.
And you ain't going to tell me you're looking at other women.
I already know.
Look, I'm not going to say nothing if you don't say nothing.
You want to...
Shut the...
I mean, you can't really hear much because obviously she's swearing.
I've had to beep out so much.
There's so many swear words, but she was losing her rocker.
Oh my gosh.
The best part about that video,
well, that's horrible,
but there's a guy right in front of the aisle
that she's yelling at.
He's just sitting there like,
what do I do?
Super chill.
Like trying to listen to his earphones
and I was like, oh, here he is.
There's just people all around you.
You can hear a lady say,
there's a boy behind you.
Like a kid is clearly listening to all of this.
Oh, I saw that.
Yeah, the air hostess.
Isn't that the air hostess? She was like, I don't care. She's like, I know there's a boy behind you. Like a kid is clearly listening to all of this. Yeah, the air hostess. She was like, I don't care.
I know there's a boy behind me.
Just takes me back to a time like
where you are in that situation
where there's nothing you can do to get
away and you just
everyone's looking at you and it's just so
awkward. Have you ever had that happen to you?
Oh, I have a little bit.
My partner Sam, he
hates public flights.
Something he hates, he hates that.
Yes. So what I like
to do is fight with him.
No, I
do care, but not as much
as him. This is really trivial, but
one night after work, we're
at the lights down in Auckland, central Auckland, CBD
and my balsamic vinegar had leaked through my bag
and I was devastated.
Like I was so angry.
So true, Ellie, thanks.
Yeah, I have a lot of equipment in my bag.
So I immediately threw my bag off
and just dumped it on the footpath
and opened it up to try and like find the source
of what was leaking.
Get it out now.
Yeah.
The source of the source.
Exactly.
And Sam, he sort of goes,
oh, Elle, you could probably like move across.
You don't have to do it there.
And you know when something's already annoyed you, like you're already stressing.
Yeah.
And then he tells me to move out of the way.
I'm doing it here.
And so I just lose it at him.
I'm like, do you even care about what I'm going through right now?
And then we start fighting about the fact that we're fighting in public.
He's angry because we're fighting.
And it was just a disaster.
There's people everywhere.
Oh, it was so awkward.
All over some bloody balsamic vinegar. I feel awkward listening to that story. He's angry because we're fighting and it was just a disaster. There's people everywhere. Oh, it was so awkward.
All over some bloody balsamic vinegar.
I feel awkward listening to that story.
No joke because I know Sam, your partner.
I just feel awkward hearing it.
We want to hear your stories though on 0800 dials at M.
Can you think back to a time when you've had a public relationship argument?
What was it over?
Where was it?
What went down?
You can text us also on 9696 0800 dials at M.
We'll take those calls next.
Bree and Clint, the podcast.
ZM.
We're discussing this video that's gone viral on the internet in the last couple of days.
A couple on an aeroplane, a fight or an argument breaks out
over him looking at another woman.
Take a listen.
Shut the f*** up.
Yeah, you better believe it.
I'm wearing the f***ing s*** in front of the public.
You want to f***ing look at other women's s***?
You ain't going to look at other women and you ain't going to tell me you're looking
at other women's s***.
Not great on a confined space.
Very awkward listening to that. That is hard. I could not deal with that if I was on a confined space. Oh. Very awkward listening to that.
That is hard.
I could not deal with that if I was on a plane.
That's the worst place.
You can't go anywhere.
You literally cannot go anywhere on a plane.
I had a public argument with one of my exes once.
She was obsessed with Katy Perry and I thought it would be funny
to joke around and say that I'd gotten a meet and greet with her
as we were on our way to the concert.
Yeah.
And we were lining up very early at like probably eight hours
before the concert started and as we got there I was like, kidding.
Oh, Bree.
You are so mean.
And then, trust me, it was a very, very salty eight hours.
I can't.
Don't blame me.
Neither.
Looking back on it, neither.
That's horrible.
Oh, that's so funny.
You're so mean.
It was horrible.
And I regret it massively.
I was just chatting to someone, but I couldn't get her on
because the phone dropped.
Anna, she saw a public fight on a plane again.
Did she?
Yeah, and it was quite aggressive.
There was a mum and a young boy and all this commotion
and she runs down the aisle, rips his iPad out of his hand
like it's really full on.
Everyone's watching.
And everyone's going, what the hell's going on?
Later on, they found out that the son was feeding the chicken.
Ellie.
My God.
Right next to Anna.
So did she know him?
No.
No.
Oh, my God.
Oh, no.
Yeah, I wanted Anna to tell it, but she couldn't get on the phone.
Yeah, 420 blazes, a story for you Thursday, Arvo.
Let's go to Michael, public argument argument have you had one michael yes i have actually what happened
so it was our whole family my two sisters were from uh three kids well 18 to 27
and my older sister wanted to go to an art gallery, but the rest of the family got quite tired
and we didn't have much in the way of money,
so we said, no, we can't do this.
And basically we were all tired,
so it ends up all of us in this public park in Cuba
arguing in English while everyone else is looking at us,
laughing their heads off.
We had to split up, The parents and the three kids
To calm down basically
Yeah
Oh my god
Yeah
We especially had to do it
Because we had another two weeks together
Oh no
You've done it at the start of the holiday
No
Yeah
Well serves her right
For wanting to go to a gnar gallery
Oh my god
Well
Not really Because She half the thing was we'd go to train stuff,
which I wanted to go to.
So I can't blame her really.
What was it?
We were looking at trains and stuff over in Cuba as well.
Oh, right.
Yeah.
So it was a little bit like, oh, you're doing this for me,
but you're not doing this. Oh, you're doing this for him, but you're not doing this for me kind of thing came up as well. Oh, right. Yeah. So it was a little bit like, oh, you're doing this for me, but you're not doing this.
Oh, you're doing this for him, but you're not doing this for me
kind of thing came up as well.
Oh, no.
Michael, your family holidays sound like a rager.
Zed-In Spree and Clint, the podcast.
There's a story that's going absolutely viral on Reddit,
of course, of all places at the moment,
and it's about a husband and a wife who, so the husband was at home
and the wife has gone away on a business trip for a week.
The husband has decided to download Tinder, which I mean,
he's married, so not appropriate.
Unless they've got an open relationship, which that's up to them.
This couple don't have an open relationship.
He's downloaded Tinder and he was swiping through.
He said he downloaded it because he was lonely.
What, is he looking for a friend?
Yeah, why?
And Tinder's not really the place you look for friends.
No.
Anyway, he was swiping through, having a look at the talent,
and then lo and behold, he recognised one woman
that has come up on his Tinder.
Oh, yeah?
It was his wife.
Can you imagine?
Your gut would just drop.
Yeah.
But then you'd be like, oh, no.
It's weird.
Now she knows I'm on here.
Yeah, yeah.
Well, that's the thing.
Anyway, so it turns out he has swiped right, which I believe that means you're keen,
and they had a match, which means that he has come up on her Tinder
and she has seen him on Tinder already.
And hasn't said anything.
Hasn't said anything.
So now my mind goes to did she get word from one of her friends that was on tinder and she was on
there trying to look for him or was she just on there looking for something else or you know it's
that is so awkward i don't get it it's like he wasn't okay to be on there either so what do you
do yeah they're both in trouble i mean you can confront her but you were on there as well exactly
so i mean they kind of deserve each other.
Don't they?
Yeah, a little bit.
Do you reckon he or her would just message them, like,
hey, why are you on here?
I'd just message and be like, up to.
Yeah.
You know?
You up?
You up?
What do you do for work?
Jokes, I already know.
Have you ever seen someone on Tinder that shouldn't have been on Tinder?
A while ago before I started here at ZM, I was on Tinder
and I saw a girl by the name of Producer Ellie.
Oh, okay.
I remember this.
Yeah, because I started and I was like, is that Producer Ellie?
And I was like, oh, she's in a relationship.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I know.
So what was the go there?
I seriously think I must be still on there.
From when I must have been, I don't know, I'm nearly 27 now, 22?
Nah.
What, so you think your profile is still floating about even though you've deleted it?
Yeah, well, yeah, because I've had other friends send it to me too.
What if it's a cat, someone using her photos?
Oh, it could be that too.
Could be.
I didn't even think of that.
Oh, no.
Yeah, but I'm definitely not on Tinder and I shouldn't be on Tinder.
That freaks me out.
I'm kind of, because Megan from Fletch Vaughan and Megan had her photo used this week on Tinder.
I'm kind of offended no one's ever used mine.
I mean, yeah, no, I don't know why they haven't.
Oh, come on.
No, yeah, no.
I can put a good filter on, go all right.
I mean, at least it'd be believable, you know.
I actually one time I was working at a radio station
and there was the guy who worked, I'm not going to say what department
he worked in because I don't want to get sued.
Anyway, he worked in one of the big departments high up.
He was like one of the bosses.
Anyway, I was on Tinder at the time and I was really young
and he came up on my Tinder and he was married with kids.
Oh, no.
And I didn't know what to do about it.
Yeah, that's awkward actually.
What do you do about that?
Do you say something?
So after the date, I said to him.
Bree and Clint, the podcast, ZM.
Once upon a time, there was a girl.
She was smart, debatable, talented, athletic.
Not really.
Picking a movie based on just the plot line?
That she can do.
Brie and Clint's What The Plot.
All right. It's been quite a few weeks. Brie and Clint's What The Plot.
All right.
It's been quite a few weeks.
That has.

Since I've gotten into the chair and I believe I got pants. You did actually.
Last time you played this, you got pants 3-0.
Okay, well, let's not bring it up.
All right, guys.
It was a good game.
It was a really good game.
Let's talk about the score so far this year.
16 to me.
Yeah.
Five to the people.
It's where you read out movie plot lines, or Clint usually,
but Ellie will do it today.
And first person to buzz in that knows the name of that movie will win.
Best out of three.
Hello, Jared.
How are you going today, mate?
Yeah, good.
Thank you.
Yourself?
That's good.
Yeah, good.
Are you ready to give this a go against Bree?
I'll give it a go.
Have you played in the car before, Jared? I have not. You're good. Are you ready to give this a go against Bree? I'll give it a try. Have you played in the car before, Jared?

Long-time listener, first-time caller.
I like it.
I like it.
Well, welcome.
There you go.
Welcome.
Yeah.
Okay, Jared, I'm going to start reading a plot line.
If you think you know the plot, just buzz in with your name and then give me a guess.
If someone guesses and gets it wrong, the other person gets a free guess,
and then I'll continue to read the plot line
if you both get it wrong, okay?
All right, phenomenal.
Best of three.
All right, your first one.
Okay, here we go.
While exploring the uncharted wilderness in the 1800s,
a man sustains life-threatening injuries
from a brutal attack.
When a member of his hunting team kills his young son
and leaves him for dead,
the explorer must utilise his survival skills to find a way back to civilisation.
Grief-stricken and fuelled by vengeance,
the legendary fur trapper treks through the snowy terrain
to track down the man who betrayed him.
Oh, what's the name of that stupid movie?
It's the first movie he won the category for.
You've got to buzz in with your name, Jaron.
Do you know it, Jaron?
I'm just coming to me.
I know who stars in it.
Does that count?
We need the name.
Start spelling it.
Start spelling it, Ellie.
Okay, the name is T-H-E space R-E-V-E-N.
The reverent.
That's the one.
The reverent.
Yeah, that's the one.
Well done, Bree.
We got there in the end.
That was a crappy win.
All right, Jared, number two.
Okay, number two.
Here we go.
Ten-year-old Sophie is in for the adventure of a lifetime
when she meets someone a little different.
Naturally scared at first, the young girl soon realises that the
new friend...
Oh no, that's a boy in that movie.
No.
Hey, Jared, do you want to have a free guess there?
If you can finish off
running through the plot.
No, no, no.
I'm not. If you know it, Jared,
you have to buzz in again, okay?
The young girl soon realises that the new friend is actually quite gentle and charming. No, no, no. You have to do it from there. No, I'm not. If you know it, Jared, you have to buzz in again, okay? Okay.
The young girl soon realises that the new friend is actually quite gentle and charming.
As their friendship grows, Sophie's presence attracts the unwanted attention of other giants.
Oh, that's the book.
After travelling to London, Sophie and her new friend must convince Queen Victoria to help them get rid of all the bad...
Yeah?
It's... Jared. Hold on, wait. Jared. Bree's got it here. Hang on. Queen Victoria to help them get rid of all the bad... Yeah?
Jared.
Hold on, wait.
Brie's got it here.
Hang on.
I'll come to you after this, Jared, if she gets it wrong.
Brie, three.
The wild... Two.
The wild things?
No.
Jared, what do you reckon?
The BFG.
Oh, goody!
What is it?
I wasn't even bloody close, Jared.
Nice work, mate.
All right, it's one all.
This is...
Tie break.
This is the tie break. God, I'm so out of practice. No, you got work, mate. All right, it's one all. This is the tie break.
God, I'm so out of practice.
No, you got it, mate.
You got it.
Okay.
A father is overly cautious with his son.
When his son tries to prove himself, he is caught in danger,
and the horrified father must set out to find him.
A new friend who has a really short memory joins the father in the hunt
finding Nemo. Yeah, dang it!
Nice work, Brie.
Well played, well played. Nice work, Jared.
Thanks for playing. No worries.
Wasn't my best win. It wasn't, so
I think we'll give Jared the Zidim prize pack.
Zidim prize pack coming your way, Jared.
Awesome. Phenomenal. And because he's a
first time, long time listener, first time, Jarrod. Oh, awesome. Phenomenal. And because he's a first-time, long-time listener, first-time.
Yeah, that's the one, yeah.
There you go.
ZDM Spree in Clint, the podcast.
Someone who is on our show from time to time is my bestie,
big, gay, gorgeous Al.
Hello, boys.
Hello, guys.
Hello, boys.
Oh, how hot is that?
He has his own sting on our show.
That's how much he's on it.
I wanted to get you in this afternoon, Al,
because you've been talking about something for the past,
oh, I want to say three days or so,
because we live together, you and I.
We're flatmates and we talk a lot.
And I mean, I know a lot about your love life.
Probably too much.
Yeah.
I feel like you live on my Grindr
and I'm the one who runs the Grindr account.
I pretty much am talking to people on your grinder every night.
Are you?
Is that why I'm not getting laid?
Oh, come on.
I've got good chat.
I've got good chat.
Well, you say that you're not and I'm here to help.
I'm here to facilitate your love life.
And I had this idea because you've been talking about for the past three days
this really hot, attractive guy that works in the cafe across from our work.
Yes.
Oh, did you match with him?
No.
Alan hasn't matched with him.
He hasn't even spoken to him.
Oh, God, you might meet him in the real world.
I don't even go to this cafe.
So our flatmate Annabelle works in the building here.
Yeah.
And she was across at scratch
getting a coffee the other day and she messaged me and she's like oh my god there's this really
hot guy he's totally your type and I'm like give me 30 seconds I'll be there and I literally ran
out of a meeting I'm not even joking ran out of a meeting and I'm just sitting there in the cafe
drinking their free water not buying anything staring, staring. And I've gone, yeah. You sound really creepy.
Yeah, that's creepy.
That's not creepy.
You guys haven't spoken, correct?
No.
So right now on the radio, we're going to put some AirPods in your ears.
No.
Are we going to call him?
We're going to send you.
No, we're not going to call him.
We're going to send you across to Scratch.
Oh, no.
And we're going to give you the courage because I'm going to be in your ears,
in the AirPods.
Oh, no. And I'm going to feed you the line that I'm going to be in your ears, in the airpods. Oh, no.
And I'm going to feed you the line that you can give to him
to see if he's interested.
Oh, no.
Excellent.
So we're going to go to a song right now, Ben.
Okay, yep, yep.
We're going to get Alan organised, Big Gay Gorgeous Al.
I look fat in this shirt.
No, you don't.
And we're going to see if Alan can pick up live on the radio.
Okay, we'll come back right after this.
This is Bree and Clint, ZM.
Bree and Clint, the podcast, ZM.
Guys, there's a mission going down right now.
If you missed it, Big Gay Gorgeous Al, my best mate, my flatmate,
I put it to him.
He's been talking about this guy that works at a cafe across the road
from where we work for about three or four days.
Yeah, right.
He hasn't had the guts to go and talk to him.
He just has watched him from afar.
Which is, by the way, creepy.
A little bit creepy.
A little bit creepy, yeah.
So I thought let's not be creepy.
Let's ask him out live on the radio.
I'm going to feed Alan the lines through an AirPod.
He's actually with us right now.
Hello, Al.
Hello, guys.
I'm so nervous.
Where are you standing right now?
Out front of the cafe.
Okay, so you're at the front of the cafe.
How are you feeling?
I need to go do nervous wee-wee.
I just wee-wee'd two minutes ago.
Okay, well, don't say wee-wee again on the radio, okay?
All right, so this is the plan.
The guy works at the cafe.
You're going to walk in.
I'm going to feed you a couple of lines to potentially see if this guy is interested in you or not, okay?
To the guy himself or to anybody there?
No, to the guy himself.
Okay.
Okay, okay.
I'm nervous.
All right.
Al outside his comfort zone. You're used to this, Al. Here we go. All right. All right. Al outside his comfort zone.
You're used to this, Al.
Here we go.
Are you ready?
Walk inside the cafe.
Okay, I'm walking inside the cafe.
It's a little bit busy.
Can you see him?
Can you locate him?
No.
No.
You can't see him?
No, I can't.
He's right here. Okay, new plan. You're going see him? No, I can't. He's not here.
Okay, new plan.
You're going to talk to another employee.
Okay, and say what?
And you're going to ask if he's single.
And you're going to have to...
No, I don't even know his name.
That's all right.
You just have to describe him to one of the employees
and see if they know who you're talking about.
Great.
All right.
There's a line, so should I go harass the girls who are making coffee?
Yes.
Good idea.
Go to the coffee girls.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
I'm nervous.
Okay.
I can't wait for them to look.
Okay.
So I'm just about to get their attention.
Stop talking so much because they'll see you talking to yourself.
Hello. Hello. I'm just about to get their attention. Stop talking so much because they'll see you talking to yourself. Hello.
Hello.
I'm good.
There was a guy working here yesterday behind the bar.
Is he single?
Oh, no.
It's your first day.
Is he gay?
He's straight.
That's so awkward.
Okay.
He's an actor.
So, okay.
Thank you so much for breaking my heart.
Oh, no.
Okay.
Thank you so much.
No, that's so fine.
Thank you so much.
I'll just awkwardly walk out now.
Thank you.
Thank you so much. I'll just awkwardly walk out now. Thank you. Thank you.
Alan!
Great work, mate.
A round of applause for Alan.
Mate, that was very gutsy.
I'm so proud of you, and you can't win them all.
I know, but if anybody is listening and I'm tingling hot
and fits the description, please call 0800.
No, no, no.
Okay, bring him down.
Oh, my God,, bring him down.
Oh, my God. That was so good.
There you go.
We found out if the guy at the cafe was single,
didn't matter anyway because he's not gay.
Talk some guts.
Alan.
He's making his way back into the studio, the poor thing.
He's devastated.
I can hear in his voice.
ZDM's Bree and Clint, the podcast.
Hey, let's try and get someone to Bali.
Bree and Clint's birthday banger.
To Bali.
That's right.
We take your birthdays.
We figure out what was top of the charts on your 16th

This is big. Let's go to
Rach to kick it off this afternoon. Hi, Rach.
Hi. What's your birthday,
Rachel? 17th of September
1983. Okay, you
were 16 in 1999
on the 17th of
September, and this is your birthday
banger.
Oh, no, that wasn't the lyrics.
I do like that song, though, from the Banger Boys.
What do you think, Rach?
Yeah, it's a good thing.
Good thing.
Too many memories from high school, but all good.
All good. Okay.
I see, Rach.
You're reminiscing right now, aren't you?
Yeah, yeah.
We like that.
We like that.
You're not a bad thing.
You know, it's an okay thing.
All right, good one to kick us off.
Let's go to Katie.
Oh, hi.
Hi, Katie.
What's your birthday?
23rd of June, 1992.
Okay, you were 16 in 2008 on the 23rd of June.
And back in 2008, this topped the charts.
I can't cherish the love bells ringing.
Roman Catholic class is singing.
Bit of Coldplay, Viva La Vida.
You remember that one, Kenny?
Love that one.
Love a bit of Coldplay.
Happy with that.
I do like Coldplay.
There is a time and a place for Coldplay
though, isn't there? Yeah. Is it
Birthday Banger? It could be. Could be.
I don't think we've had that before on Birthday Banger.
So it's in for a shot. Katie, I'd
stick around. Let's round it out
the salvo with Colette. Hi, Colette.
Hi. What's your birthday?
10th of October,
1975. Okay, Colette, you were
16 in 1991 on the 10th of October and on that, Colette, you were 16 in 1991 on the 10th of October.
And on that day, this was number one.
You make me feel like emotions
Drinking when I've never been here
Oh, you make me feel like
Emotions, Mariah Carey.
Hello.
Bit of classic Mariah there.
Classic bit. Classic. Is this the song where she hits, like, theiah Carey. Hello. Bit of classic Mariah in the FM. I like that.
Classic.
Is this the song where she hits like the highest note possible?
Yeah, it's insane.
Is it?
It's crazy.
And I don't think she can hit that note anymore.
She could though.
If you really wanted to.
You like that one, Colette?
I do like that one.
I like it too.
It's time to deliberate, guys.
Ooh, okay. Okay. Ooh, okay.
Okay, ooh, okay.
Oh, so We're Going to Ibiza is good,
and I like the Vengables boys, but that specific...
The Vengables.
Vengables are good too, if you know what I mean.
Oh, yeah.
You get them and Ibiza too.
All right.
But that one I was going to say, it's quite a repetitive song.
What is?
It's fun.
We're going to Ibiza.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Hello, pop music.
Good.
Yeah, that's true.
It's nice, but it is repetitive.
My vote's Mariah Carey.
Ooh.
Okay.
Yeah, I'm choosing it.
I think it's good.
Oh, I do love the Vengaboys.
I do too.
Like, I love the Vengaboys and their great live.
It's not their best song.
But it's not their best song. It's not, yeah. I like it. Like, I love the Vengaboys and they're great live. It's not their best song. But it's not their best song.
I like it.
It's hard.
I actually like the Coldplay one too, but that's quite emotional and quite...
Could this be the first day that we're not all on board?
Oh, I don't know.
I don't know how we're going to decide this.
I'm putting it out there.
I'm backing Rachel and Vengaboys.
Okay.
Okay.
My vote's for the Vengaboys.
Ben is going Mariah.
Mariah Carey, yep.
It's up to you, Producer Ellie.
Oh, why does this happen to me? Okay. I'm's for the Vengaboys. Ben is going Mariah. Mariah Carey, yeah. It's up to you, producer Ellie. Why does this happen to me?
Okay.
I'm not going to lie.
I feel like I'm watching Who Wants to Be a Millionaire when Ellie deliberates these things.
Sorry, I actually can't really stand Mariah Carey's high notes.
Okay.
They actually kind of make my insides grind a bit.
They're great and I appreciate them and I can't do it.
Throw in shade Mariah.
Yeah, sorry, Mariah.
So I think I might have to go with the Venga Boys.
The Venga Boys.
Yeah.
That means, Rachel, you're on the list to win that trip to Bali.
Woo-hoo!
Also, Rach, this is awesome because Grab One and Darp Travels
are hooking us up with that trip to Bali, which you could win,
but you actually also pick up Grab One credit
worth $250.
Oh, awesome.
Which is awesome.
There's so much cool stuff on Grab One and they're turning nine,
so there's heaps of cool deals.
And we get to hear the Vanga Boys for birthday back.
Yay!
Get ready to go back to the island, Rach.
You could be going to the island very soon.
It's true.
Bali.
Is that an island?
No. Take my bags and leave this town, grab a flight, fly away on Benga Airways.
Fly me high, Ibiza sky.

A lot of songs written about Ibiza.
Yeah.
Yeah, what's the other ones?
I took a pill in Ibiza
To show each of us cool There's songs written about Ibiza. Yeah. Yeah, what's the other ones? I took a pill in Ibiza.
And to show each of you I was cool.
And of course there's, I did a lot of drugs.
No, no, that is not a song.
Oh.
This reminds me of the Venutes.
The Venute tour.
That's all I hear when that horn comes on.
I'm like, are we travelling again?
I'm like, oh, I'm triggered.
Venute is the modern day Venga bus, isn't it? It is.
I was just saying to Producer Ben, the Venga Boys,
you and I, Ellie, saw them at that So Pop concert earlier this year.
Yeah.
At Spark Arena.
And they were one of the best bands I've seen live.
Yeah.
Really?
They did everything right.
They had big giant balls flying out into the crowd.
Yeah.
Money.
Like fake money.
Oh, so cool.
You know, not real money.
The finger boys are still loaded.
That would be good, yeah.
I reckon they would be.
You reckon they're still getting it?
They hit the party circuit hard.
They're still going, eh?
Yeah.
They're from Holland, right?
The Netherlands.
Yeah.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure they are.
Anyway, that was a birthday banger for today.
We'll do it again tomorrow and another chance to get in the draw
to win that trip to Bali. Thanks to Grab One and Dark Travels.
Oh, we should do this for Friday Oki.
No, we shouldn't.
That's going to be too hard.
Okay, cool.
Bree and Clint, the podcast.
ZM.
I have some big news.
Some Fortnite news. You're leaving. No. I'm never leaving. The Podcast ZM Yeah. Wait, have you got Mario Kart? No. You just don't have the, oh, okay. I don't have anything. I was like, why would you have the game?
Yeah, I've got a story about Fortnite.
There's two Kiwi guys that are off to the World Cup for Fortnite.

Uber driving
We talked about this yesterday actually
Obviously Uber is a taxi service It's not everywhere in New Zealand But it's around the world Uber driving. We talked about this yesterday, actually.
Obviously, Uber is a taxi service.
It's not everywhere in New Zealand, but it's around the world.
And I found quite a quirky thing online.
Some Uber drivers, because it's based on ratings and stuff,
they often try to go the extra mile, right? Like waters in the Uber or lollies.
Yeah, in LA it happened to us, right, Brian?
You can also tip them now.
So you're kind of wanting to be like, I'll tip you. You want to provide a good service. Yeah, in LA it happened to us, right, Brian? Yeah. You can also tip them now. Yes. So you're kind of wanting to be like,
I'll tip you.
Yeah, you want to provide a good service.
Exactly, exactly.
So there's this guy in Alaska
who is an Uber driver
and he's actually got an Uber ride menu.
So when you step in the car,
you get given a menu like at a restaurant.
Like food.
Oh, hell yeah.
What food's on the menu?
That's the thing.
It's a bit of a catch.
It's not actually food.
It's actually...
One star.
One star. If I see a menu menu there's no food on it what is this weird stuff no it's a great great point it's just a list really um but what it is it's a conversation menu so basically you know
when you get in a taxi and sometimes they talk to you sometimes they don't sometimes you don't want
them to talk to you or sometimes you just want to be in silence this guy actually gives you the
option but he's done it in like a cool quirky way so here are some
of the rules uh sorry the um the menu items that he has do these cost money no you just get to pick
one god free menu i know i know so the first one is the road rage ride i complain about every other
driver their vehicles and why they shouldn't be allowed on the road. I love that. Brilliant.
Yep.
There's the analyst ride.
Something bothering you?
I listen with a sympathetic ear and maybe help you see your problem with some clarity.
Also good.
Sometimes you need that.
Also good.
Get a different perspective.
Exactly.
He's also got the informative ride.
I tell you as much as I can about Alaska,
which is where he's from,
and why you didn't stay here long enough to see all the important stuff. There's also the restaurant ride. You never you as much as I can about Alaska, which is where he's from, and why you didn't stay here long enough to see
all the important stuff. There's also
the restaurant ride.
There's the restaurant
ride, and no, it's not food, sorry.
But he talks about the variety of restaurants
and helps you decide where to eat.
Like that one. Yes, please.
Yep, it's good.
The next one is the
Yes, a menu, finally. Finally, something worth it. The next one is the... It's a menu, finally.
Finally, something worth it.
He's also got the Simon and Garfunkel ride, Sounds of Silence.
So I'm guessing that's just silence.
Oh, I like that he's put that quirky name attached to it.
Yeah, exactly.
There's the Life Lessons ride.
I share some of life's most essential lessons.
Take them or leave them.
There's also the political ride.
Just kidding.
You have yours.
I have mine.
I can't change your mind and you can't change mine.
And finally, we've got the me ride.
I tell you all about me.
This would have been really helpful when we were in LA recently.
We all got into an Uber.
You guys remember this?
Yeah, we do.
And I traumatized.
I clearly wasn't listening at the first part of the conversation.
But Clint was sitting in the front and the Uber driver and Clint started having a conversation about politics.
Politics, right?
Politics stuff.
Yeah.
And I decided to pipe up halfway through and say something like,
Oh, you didn't vote for that Trump, did you?
And we're quiet for like 10 seconds, which is a long time.
We're like.
She goes, yep, and my husband did too.
Oh, it's so awkward.
I thought we were going to get dropped off right there.
Same.
I was like, oh, she's pulling over.
Because the thing that Bree missed is that the whole conversation prior to that
was clear that she was a Trump supporter.
And so me, Clint Clint and Ben were like,
as it came out of Brie's mouth.
What an idiot.
I love it.
Pay attention in your Uber, kids.
Pay attention.
