Just answer your phone with a Lion King sound when we call you. But next, we spent Friday teaching you how to get better sleep.
Starting point is 00:02:56 There's a Matthew McConaughey app. I launched my app for how you can get to sleep better as well. Well, there's another one on the market now. Seems like the world is flooded with them. This one may give you hope. One, that you can get to sleep if you have. Well, there's another one on the market now. Seems like the world is flooded with them. This one may give you hope. One, that you can get to sleep if you have insomnias at the moment. And two, that you too can make money
Starting point is 00:03:11 out of making people fall asleep. If people have called you boring before, stay listening because you could make big dollars. ZM. ZM, Spree and Clint. The podcast. Listen up.
Starting point is 00:03:23 One, if you struggle to sleep or get to sleep, or two, if you're wondering, how am I going to make some money? When do I get to be a millionaire? Well, just for being an average Joe, this might be your turn. We talked on Friday about sleep apps. The ones that you put on to help you go to sleep. They might be audio-based. Actually, no, they're all just audio-based.
Starting point is 00:03:43 Producer Ellie, you listen to one that plays rain sound effects? I do, yep. Double rain or something. Is that what it is? I do the rain on the tent. That's the sound, but it's called Rain Rain. Rain Rain is the name of the app? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:53 We also listen to Matthew McConaughey for, what was the name of the app he was working for? Calm. Calm. And he reads you a story. Well, hello there. I'm Matthew McConaughey and tonight I'll be reading a special sleep story called Wonder. Which I maintain
Starting point is 00:04:09 is easy to do. I mean, anyone can do it. Well, hello there. I'm Clinton Roberts and tonight I'll be reading a special sleep story called Wonder.
Starting point is 00:04:26 A lot of feedback on that personally for me over the weekend. Oh, yeah? Saying mine was better than McConaughey's. Who said that? A lot of people. Oh, did they? A lot of people. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:04:35 I didn't take names. There was that many people. There was that many people. I don't have enough time for that. There's a new guy on the scene. Well, he's not actually that new, but since everyone's doing it, he's emerged. And this is where I mean anybody could do this. This guy
Starting point is 00:04:50 has 3 million podcast listeners a month, and they reckon he's so successful because he is so boring sounding. So once you get over the personal attack, I mean, maybe there's something in this.
Starting point is 00:05:06 His name is Drew Ackerman. Like there's 150,000 people in Australia alone who listen to this guy every night to go to sleep. I've got some audio of him here. He doesn't have like a deliciously velvety tone like me and McConaughey do. He goes down a different route. He's boring you to sleep. Have a listen to Drew Ackerman
Starting point is 00:05:24 and see if this would put you to sleep. Hey, you up all night tossing, turning, mind racing, trouble falling asleep. Welcome, I'm glad you're here because this is Sleep With Me, the podcast that puts you to sleep. And we do it with a bedtime story.
Starting point is 00:05:45 All you need to do is get in bed, turn out the lights and press play. We're going to do the rest. Very nasally. Yeah, it is, eh? Like, that's all I would focus on. Yeah. But then you're thinking about something else
Starting point is 00:05:58 and then all of a sudden you're, geez. I'm Drew Ackerman. Also, the double entendres that he keeps pulling about sleeping with him like there was two or three of them in that 24 second clip alone
Starting point is 00:06:08 that's what I felt a little bit creepy I thought but hey I'm not here to judge whatever gets you to sleep like whatever gets you to sleep yeah so long as it's legal
Starting point is 00:06:15 nah as long as it's healthy nah so long as you enjoy it yeah okay but if you're interested in that one what was it called Ben? Sleep With Me with Drew Ackerman
Starting point is 00:06:23 good luck everybody Brie and Clint the podcast ZM how's your power bill New Zealand? interested in that one. What was it called, Ben? Sleep With Me. With Drew Ackerman. Good luck, everybody. How's your power bill, New Zealand? How are you coping this winter? Pretty good. Oh, okay. Good to hear from you, mate. Is your power bill actually good, Ben?
Starting point is 00:06:36 Yeah, it's actually pretty good. It's stable. Do you run heaters? Yeah, now and then. Yeah, what sort of heater have you got? You've got a heat pump, don't you? No, just a little mini, like the bottom of the wall, wall-mounted heater.
Starting point is 00:06:44 Two of them in-house. Is it a floor-mounted heat pump or is it just an electric heater? No, it's, I don't know. Right. I think it's electric. No, this is the problem.
Starting point is 00:06:52 This is the problem. No one knows how much electricity costs and no one knows how much electricity things use. Until you get a really high bill.
Starting point is 00:06:59 Until you get a really high bill. But even then, it's a process of elimination. Yeah, you don't really know. You don't know. No. You don't know.
Starting point is 00:07:04 You go, is it my hair straightener? Yeah. Like, it could be anything. Could be anything. then, it's a process of elimination. Yeah, you don't really know. You don't know. No. You don't know. You go, is it my hair straightener? Yeah. Like, it could be anything. Could be anything. Yeah. There's a story out about a Kiwi guy
Starting point is 00:07:10 who has just found out for the last six years he has been paying the power bill of his house. Ah. Ooh, ow. Sorry, that's my
Starting point is 00:07:19 electricity sound effect. You have any electricity? He's been paying the power bill for his house and his neighbour's house. Oh, ripped off. How do you not know?
Starting point is 00:07:28 Well, he knew something was up. But if you've ever had to call the power company, you know, they'll never believe you. So his power bill kept going up and up and up. Just every month it got slightly bigger, slightly bigger, slightly bigger. And he said he was using no more power. Like he got like psycho about it. Right. Anyway, they finally sent someone around after six years. And he said he was using no more power. Like he got like psycho about it.
Starting point is 00:07:45 Right. Anyway, they finally sent someone around after six years and they looked at the switchboard and they go, oh yeah, the wire's been crossed. Oh my gosh. So his meter was counting the power because I guess it's like units, the houses are attached to each other. And his meter was metering the neighbour's one as well.
Starting point is 00:08:01 So anyway, he's going to win his case and I think he's getting paid $3,000 or something. Holy moly. It's good. It's good. Yeah, but it's been six years. Yeah. How about the neighbour?
Starting point is 00:08:12 Yeah. Yeah, they know. They definitely know. Now this is where my questions are. Yeah, yeah, yeah. How did they not know that their power bill wasn't existing? So say you're in this wonderful position where your power bill is just not changing.
Starting point is 00:08:24 Because I assume if you're not getting metered for the power you're using, you're probably just paying the flat line rental. There is a base amount that you pay your electricity company every month to be connected. And he was probably just paying that. He's like, man, I'm getting this bang on every month. And if that's the case, you know,
Starting point is 00:08:39 but I don't think you say anything. I think you go, oh my God, oh my God, I have struck it big here. Just keep your head down. Don't do anything to draw attention to yourself because he also doesn't know that his neighbour is paying for it. No. I think perhaps the neighbour,
Starting point is 00:08:57 unless the neighbour has rewired it himself, I think the neighbour is innocent here. Yeah, right. And he's just gone, oh, I'm in for a good thing, I'll just keep going. As the neighbour, you'd think, like, how do you never, like, how do you just not go like,
Starting point is 00:09:12 hey, mate, just going to check on you. Are you paying the same as this? Oh, I see. You're doing real good. I see. Even then I'd keep my mouth shut. Really? Yeah, 100%.
Starting point is 00:09:20 And then I'd go, oh, no, bro, that sounds a bit off. You should talk to someone and then close the door. My worry would be that in a few months' time or even in a year, it's just going to fly up. You're going to get a big one. Because something's wrong.
Starting point is 00:09:29 So that's my last question. Do you think that the neighbour who's been getting a free ride, do you think he owes any money to the neighbour who's been paying his power bill the whole time? Yes. Do you? Yeah, I think, yeah. Do you?
Starting point is 00:09:41 Because technically whoever installed that power, that's actually their fault. Yeah. It's the power company's fault for not checking up on it after he that power, that's actually their fault. It's the power company's fault for not checking up on it after he brought it up. It's their fault. He didn't know. He didn't know. As long as you complete ignorance. Because also, if your power bill's coming in low,
Starting point is 00:09:54 you go, oh, sweet, check the heaters on, check the air conditioning on, check the electric blanket on. Fires don't use electricity, but good example, Ben. You know, you just go for it. So I don't believe that he owes us. It's okay, mate. It's okay. Oh, Ben. You know, you just go for it. So I don't believe that he uses. It's okay, mate. It's okay. Oh, Benny.
Starting point is 00:10:08 Electric fires, gas fires. But yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Anyway, stay warm out there, New Zealand. It's winter. ZM Spree and Clint, the podcast. Let's head to LA and get a spy update. Live from Hollywood with our man on the ground, Z McCarty. Spy.co.nz. Let's head to LA and get a spy update.
Starting point is 00:10:32 He's actually very rapidly getting off the ground, I think. Dean, you're at LAX at the moment, leaving Los Angeles. Is that right? LAX, I'm about to fly on the red-eye to New York City to interview the cast of the new movie called Crawl. It's scary. It looks really, really scary. So I'll know more in the next two days just how scary it is. But this flight through the night, six hours, sitting
Starting point is 00:10:47 upright in seat 700C, also scary. Yeah, but also scary the earthquakes that have been happening in Los Angeles over the last few days. I thought maybe that's why you were leaving. I thought you were getting out of there before you guys have another earthquake. See, that was a really good idea. I should have done that. Let me give you the lowdown. So recently
Starting point is 00:11:03 the other night I was at a dinner and it was a 7.1 on the Richter scale. It's like one of the biggest earthquakes I've had in many, many years. It was 150 miles away from Hollywood. So where I was, the restaurant, it rolled back and forward like the whole restaurant was on rollers.
Starting point is 00:11:17 That's what it felt like. It was really, really unsettling. No damage to any of the homes in LA or anything like that. But there's a rumor that there's a bigger one coming. Apparently this means there's a big one on the way. That's what they're basically saying to us, which is frightening. It is really scary stuff.
Starting point is 00:11:32 And New Zealand is no stranger to earthquakes. So when I saw your video on Facebook, can you tell those people to drop and cover when that happens? Like nobody was getting under their table. No one was getting under doorframes. It's like people in America don't know what to do in an earthquake. We had no idea. I ran and grabbed my phone straight away
Starting point is 00:11:50 to do a quick live video podcast update because that's important. I was going to say, that's not best practice either, but I'm glad I got to see the video. Hey, tell us, the big scoop today is that Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello
Starting point is 00:12:02 might actually be a thing. Are they dating? They are a thing. They are officially dating. They have not obviously said anything because, you know, they wouldn't. They always try and keep this as private as they can for as long as they can. But that's the rumour in Hollywood that Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello
Starting point is 00:12:16 are actually dating. He's in LA. I've been seeing him a lot, actually. He goes to your gym, eh? He goes to my gym and he's looking really fit, by the way. I don't know what he's doing. He wears, you know what he wears? He wears, like, you know, in, like, the 90s,
Starting point is 00:12:29 there was that headband that they would wear, like, with the lycra jumpsuit or whatever. He wears one of those head sweatband things, and he pulls it off because he's John Mendes. He could wear anything. Do you believe that they're a real couple? Because I also heard some rumors that they were trying to sex up his image, like the record label were.
Starting point is 00:12:44 So they're like, go and have lunch with Camila Cabello and then do a saucy song with her which he's done with that Senorita song and now this. Is there any possibility that this is like a publicity relationship? Yes, it is. And let me give you one really good example. When Taylor Swift dated Taylor Lautner, do you remember
Starting point is 00:12:59 Taylor Lautner was the guy from Twilight? He was the wolf. They were specifically set up to date for both of their publicity reasons. That's exactly what happened. That is the truth. I know that for sure. So that sort of thing does happen? 100%.
Starting point is 00:13:16 Wow. 100%. Okay. Yep, definitely. Go and stalk the Grams then. See if you can figure out if they're the real deal. We'll let you catch your flight. Thank you very much.
Starting point is 00:13:23 That is Dean McCarthy live from LAX. He's on his way out of there. Bree and Clint, the podcast. ZM. Bree's not here, but that does not mean that the show has relinquished its crown as the leading show for maritime and aviation news. I have for you this afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, some aviation news. No one brings you more aviation news.
Starting point is 00:13:44 In fact, today we're bringing you two lots of it. Play us at the airport, because it's what people need to know. This piece of aviation news comes to you by way of the Gold Coast, where an aeroplane, a Jetstar plane, in fact, bound for Adelaide, Adelaide, Adelaide? Adelaide.
Starting point is 00:14:01 A Jetstar plane going to Adelaide had to apply the brakes after a turtle got too close for comfort as the plane was taxiing ahead of takeoff on Thursday night. Oh. I know, right? Cute animal story. Yeah, that's cute.
Starting point is 00:14:14 Annoying if you're a passenger because straight away, you start blaming the airline. You go, oh, you guys are bloody useless. No, the pilot is looking out for the safety of the turtle. Or so we think. So I thought, super cute story, big bad airplane gives way to a turtle because
Starting point is 00:14:32 protect the turtle. The story goes on to say fearing the turtle could be sucked into the plane's right engine and disable the aircraft, the pilot radioed the control tower for help. So he was more concerned about damage to the plane. Or so it reads.
Starting point is 00:14:47 I mean, maybe it was a bit of both. And I don't imagine a turtle shell going through an airplane's engine does anything good for a plane. No. But now the tables have turned again. It seems like he's more concerned about the plane. But it's hard to read too much into these things. And these are the things that we're headed to debate on Aviation News.
Starting point is 00:15:06 Yeah, okay. Anyway, he radioed the control tower, and this is where the super cute animal part returns. They said it was not the critter's first offence. It was the second time this week that that turtle had caused problems at the airport. Oh. That's cute. Now, I don't have any actual audio of that turtle from the runway that was there, but
Starting point is 00:15:29 I do have some sound effects of turtles making love. Are you guys keen to hear that? Okay. Yeah. So I just got to hear which one's which first. This one. Oh, yeah. So this is the sound of a turtle making love to a croc.
Starting point is 00:15:42 And this is what it sounds like. Someone videoed this. Like a shoe. Yeah. Oh, yeah. That's important to Someone videoed this. Like a shoe. Yeah. Oh, yeah, that's important to note. A shoe, not a crocodile. Yeah, right. I was like, what?
Starting point is 00:15:50 No, a turtle making love to a croc shoe. I mean, they're both reptiles. True. And this is, it's quite a small turtle, that one. Yeah. And this is the sound of an adult turtle in the throes of passion. Whoa. Sounds about right.
Starting point is 00:16:25 Big boy. Weird deviation for aviation news to take, but here we are. Yeah, that was weird, but you've got it. But informative though, right? Yeah. Informative. It is, it is. And that's what you get here on the Bree and Clint show.
Starting point is 00:16:38 A little bit of everything. That's aviation news. ZM's Bree and Clint, the podcast. Hey, if you are sitting there and you're single at the moment and you're going, God, I'm never going to find love. I'm never going to find the person of my dreams. I'm never going to settle down. Don't
Starting point is 00:16:54 worry, okay, because there is still time. We've got a story about old people love. This is, and I know it's an overseas story, okay, but just take solace in the fact that it can happen. This is the story of John and Phyllis Cook from Sylvania in Ohio who have just got married.
Starting point is 00:17:12 They live in a rest home together and they've just got married. Check this out. John is a World War II veteran that recently turned 100 years old. Phyllis, originally from West Virginia, will turn 103 on August 8th. The two had been dating for about a year when they went to get their marriage license on Wednesday. Beautiful, right? That is a beautiful story.
Starting point is 00:17:33 100 and 103. So Phyllis, the older lady. Nice. Sugar mama. And John, who is a World War II veteran. Dating for a year, like it said. How long do you wait at that age, eh? How long do you...
Starting point is 00:17:47 Go for it. A year's probably too long. Yeah, to be fair, probably, yeah. But also, why are you... I mean, they're into it. It's their thing. Surely you'd want to, at that age, maybe keep your options open.
Starting point is 00:17:58 I don't know. This is John talking about how they headed down to the registry office to get married. Wasn't the plan, but we got there and they said, well, we could marry you here. And I said, well, good. Let's get it over with. Straight to the point. Straight to the point.
Starting point is 00:18:17 Like you said, no mucking around. He's 100, she's 103. Time to get things done. But at the same time, there'd be people who are in their 20s who would have that attitude too. I know friends who have just got hitched at the office just to get it out. In their words, oh, get it out of the way. Really? No fuss. Yeah, they just want
Starting point is 00:18:34 that legal bond together. They want themselves to know that they're married. Okay. And so they just go and tick it off. I think you just pay for the paperwork. It's kind of like going and getting a car rego done. Just go in, prove you are who you are. You have to take proof of address or something
Starting point is 00:18:47 or an ID. I don't know. Phyllis, who is the older woman in this relationship, she's 103. I've seen these people, by the way.
Starting point is 00:18:56 They look fantastic. Yeah. They're on their little mobility skis but they look great. Yeah. Like they do not look like they're on the triple digits. Yeah. This is Phyllis talking about their bond. Hey, the truth not look like they're in the triple digits. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:05 This is Phyllis talking about their bond. Hey, the truth, we fell in love with each other. Yeah, I know you think that may be a little bit far-fetched for somebody our age, but we fell in love with each other. Well, we just were compatible in a lot of ways and found ourselves, you know, enjoying each other's company. Lovely. Oh, that's so
Starting point is 00:19:25 cute. Absolutely lovely. So if you're in your 20s right now going, I'm not going to find someone, look, you just might have to wait another 75 years. And then someone will come along. I know what you're thinking and I know what you want to know. When it comes to that
Starting point is 00:19:41 age, what's going on? What's the deal with well, let's ask John, shall we? Oh, that age. Yeah. Like, what's going on? Yeah, what's happening now? Like, what's the deal with... Well, let's ask John, shall we? Tell you the truth. Oh, that's not John. Should we ask John? I asked John what their favourite thing to do together was.
Starting point is 00:19:54 His response? Well, I probably shouldn't talk about that. Yes, what a legend. It's awesome. I think it's so cool that they're doing that. They've both been married twice before and their most recent
Starting point is 00:20:08 partners have passed away Yeah And they've gone well hell we love each other so let's go ahead and do this thing I wonder if we can take some calls about it
Starting point is 00:20:15 this afternoon I wonder if we can take some old people marriage stories And how old's old? Well this is a very good qualifying fact to Ellie Because we've done this before
Starting point is 00:20:24 and someone's called up about people in their 40s. And it was high-key offensive. It's still very young. So what's old? Okay, you tell me, Ellie, what's old? Okay, well, my pop got married, remarried again. I was nine years old. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:38 And he was about 59. So is that old? Let's find an age. Let's find an average. Ben, what's old? 70. 70? Okay, so we're going above 70.
Starting point is 00:20:49 I would say 70 would be... I think you've got to go above... I think you've got to go 70 and above. I agree. Because retirement age is 65. So you could still be working up to there. True. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:59 But actually, no, just open it up. Actually, I don't care. I don't care. If anyone that you think is old has got married, we want to hear about it. Actually, I don't care. I don't care. If anyone that you think is old has got married, we want to hear about it. Oh, $800 at M. We actually have a couple of mobile fuel vouchers up for grabs if your story is super cute or super raunchy, actually.
Starting point is 00:21:15 If you've got a super raunchy old people marriage story, oh, $800 at M. Let's see what we get. What we want to know is old people marriage stories. You can tell us if they're old or not. That's completely up to you. Oh, $800 at M. We'll see what we get. Br we want to know is old people marriage stories. You can tell us if they're old or not. That's completely up to you. 0800 dial ZM. We'll see what we get. We are celebrating love
Starting point is 00:21:33 at all ages. The news that John and Phyllis Cook have got married at 100 and 103 respectively. This is Phyllis talking about them. Wasn't the plan, but we got there. Tell you the truth, we fell in love with each other. I know you think that may be a little bit far-fetched for somebody our age,
Starting point is 00:21:53 but we fell in love with each other. Well, we just were compatible in a lot of ways and found ourselves enjoying each other's company. Cute, right? They have both been married twice before. So there's four weddings that have happened between them and then they enjoying each other's company. Cute, right? They have both been married twice before. So there's four weddings that have happened between them and then they found each other. So we want to know, do you have like a cute old people marriage story
Starting point is 00:22:12 that you want to share with us? And we've left the old bit open-ended and up to you. Open to interpretation. Hey, Hannah. Oh, sorry, are you there? Hey, Hannah. Hi. Hi, okay.
Starting point is 00:22:23 Hit us with your romantic story. So my grandma, who was 75, married my now-popper, who was 89. Whoa. Okay. Yeah. And were you around at the time? Obviously you would have been. Were you born?
Starting point is 00:22:40 Yeah, I was. Had they both been? It was about three years ago. That is so cute. Are they, oh, I hate to ask those questions. Are they still together? Yeah, they was. Had they both been? Yeah. It was about three years ago. That is so cute. Are they, oh, I hate to ask those questions. Are they still together? They are, yeah. They're still alive, still together, doing well.
Starting point is 00:22:52 That's so cute. Yeah. Okay, cool. Where did they have their wedding? Did they have a big wedding? No, it was just a small one at our family's vineyard. Okay, interesting. Good.
Starting point is 00:23:03 Hi, Sarah. Hello. You got a cute old people wedding story for us? I don't know if it's cute My grandmother, who's in her 70s Just after her 70th birthday She married a distant relative Who was in his 80s Whoa, wait
Starting point is 00:23:24 You mean distant relative of hers? Yeah How distant? relative who was in his 80s. Whoa, wait. You mean distant relative of hers? Yeah. How distant? They have like mutual grandparents somewhere down the line. Whoa. I'm not sure exactly how it worked, but yeah. Whoa. Okay.
Starting point is 00:23:39 So you go two generations above them and the family tree joins. Yeah. They join up somewhere there. Yeah. How did that go down in the family? joins. Yeah, they join up somewhere there, yeah. How did that go down in the family? Like, how did your family react to that? It was really, like, mixed because they're so old. Some people were, like, just happy that they had found love again.
Starting point is 00:23:56 Yeah. Others didn't come to the wedding, and some people don't even talk to them anymore. I reckon once you get to that age, though, it's very hard for anybody to tell you anything. You're like, look, I'm still here and I've done this my way. If I want to go and marry my cousin, I'm going to marry my cousin. That's right.
Starting point is 00:24:17 Okay. Christmas would be interesting. Let's keep going. Mel, hello. Hi, how are you? I'm doing really good. Is your old people story as raunchy as that? Oh, it's even raunchier. It's sort of based on the fact, do old people
Starting point is 00:24:32 still do it? And they do. My grandmother in her 80s had boyfriends so she never was married again. Yeah, she was rocking it. And so she would it sounds a bit cringy, but would pose in lingerie for her boyfriends.
Starting point is 00:24:49 Whoa. And also got busted at the rest time in bed cuddling. What a cool chick. She was. Rest in peace, Nana. She was in the 90s. I don't imagine that in your 80s, or she might be, were the photos she was taking, were they selfies?
Starting point is 00:25:08 Or did she have to get someone else to take the photos? No, I think maybe, yeah, maybe he might have taken them. I don't think Nana would have known what a selfie was. Did you ever see any of the photos? Yes. Okay, enough said? Yeah. Yeah, okay. Thanks, Mel. Last one. Kerry, enough said? Yep. Yeah, okay.
Starting point is 00:25:26 Thanks, Mel. Last one. Kerry, hello. Yes, hi. How are you? Good. It's gone from cute old people marriage stories to real raunchy old people stories.
Starting point is 00:25:35 What have you got to take us out? I think mine's just endearing. So I met a couple at a party last year and they had been, they felt pregnant at the age of 16. He got sent off to war. Baby got adopted out. Fifty-five years later, the daughter traced her father and her mother, and her father said, Oh, I wonder what your mother's up to.
Starting point is 00:26:00 And they had both remarried. Their partners had died. They met up, and they remarried. Oh, my gosh. So 55 years later, at the age of about 85. That's beautiful. And I met them about two days after their wedding, and they were in love.
Starting point is 00:26:18 Yeah, that's cool. I mean, like they say, I'm old. I'm not dead. My heart, I've still got, I don't know what they say. Rekindled. Rekindled. Rekindled, right? Something to burn for.
Starting point is 00:26:31 We've got to give this mobile fuel away. I like all of those stories. Those are all really good stories this afternoon. I think maybe the lingerie one. Are we going to go with the, let's give it to Mel. Mel, seeing as you had to see those pictures, we're going to hook you up with some mobile fuel Well done
Starting point is 00:26:46 Awesome, thank you Are the pictures still around? Oh God, I don't know Hopefully they've got buried with it ZM Spree and Clint, the podcast New Stranger Things is out at the moment You might have tuned in on Netflix and seen some of it already It's very like
Starting point is 00:27:03 From the start it just gets going. That second season was a bit like, eh, I thought. But this one, straight from the start, and you can tell they have spent some money on it as well. One of the things I found interesting about it, and I didn't remember from the first season, is I think how much smoking there is in the show. Because you kind of think of Stranger Things
Starting point is 00:27:23 as being kind of for kids a little bit. But this one is gruesome, it's gory and it's got a lot of smoking in it. But when they started the first season they were really young, right? Yeah. How old are they now? Teenagers? Teenagers. The kids aren't smoking. The adults are smoking.
Starting point is 00:27:39 And the hot guy is smoking and the cop is smoking. That sort of thing. But it's 1985. That's what you've got to remember. It's set in 1985 in America. Interestingly, Netflix has come out and said they're going to release a thing on their platform where, you know how you get like a violence warning, an age restriction, like a recommended PG-13 or whatever. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:02 There's like a sexual content warning. They're going to put a smoking warning on. Okay. They're going to say, this content contains smoking, which, eh, is it going to make you stop watching something? I don't think so.
Starting point is 00:28:12 No, but as a parent, it would stop you from putting that in front of your kids. Maybe. Maybe. Especially if they'd watched Stranger Things, which was targeted at early teens and stuff. Yeah, but then you go,
Starting point is 00:28:21 because part of me goes, oh, mate, just because I see smoking on TV doesn't mean I'm going to start smoking. But then I think about when I was right into that TV show Mad Men. Did you guys ever watch Mad Men? No. It's about an ad agency in the 60s and I don't smoke, but I have never
Starting point is 00:28:35 wanted to smoke and drink at work more than watching that show. Same with Peaky Blinders. Yeah. There is science in it that they go well you see these associations of these characters that you like smoking and it makes you think that smoking is right and you go oh bull crap but then in the back of mind you go oh yeah what makes them cool maybe it's true so maybe that's a good thing netflix have also said that uh their future content
Starting point is 00:28:59 from i think next year because stranger things they make stranger things the original it's original content for Netflix and some of the Netflix stuff that's massive for them yeah yeah yeah but some of the stuff they make is like
Starting point is 00:29:11 and then some of it is amazing they've said all future content will have no smoking what? yeah they won't show
Starting point is 00:29:19 smoking in their future stuff that they make which again how do you be historically accurate? like what if you're making something about the war or something like that?
Starting point is 00:29:27 Yeah. You can't make them vape because there was no, you know? Yeah. They didn't have vapes. They didn't. Like next season
Starting point is 00:29:33 of Stranger Things, unless they jump to 2019, Hopper can't start sucking on like a watermelon flavoured vape because it didn't exist. No. Oh, that's interesting.
Starting point is 00:29:44 It is interesting, right? Yeah, so those are your smoking warnings coming to Netflix. Brie and Clint, the podcast. ZM. Trash. Oh, Trash. Every week we play this game, it is a pain in our producer Ben's backside because he has to trawl through hours of old episodes of Antiques Roadshow
Starting point is 00:30:04 to find the footage. If I had to play this game, I'd be so good. Oh yeah, because you've listened to so much already. But that's okay. He puts in the mahi so you can get the treats. And today, giving it a go is Eden. Hey, Eden. Hey.
Starting point is 00:30:18 You've got a good opportunity here to win some free mobile fuel. All you have to do is get two out of three correct. I'm going to play you some audio that I have done no work to source. And you just need to guess whether it's worth under $5,000, which deems it trash, so you will say trash,
Starting point is 00:30:33 or over $5,000, so you'll say treasure. Understand? Yeah, sweet, eh? Here comes your description of item number one. Good luck. Is it the Everlasting Gobstopper? Yeah. That's the real deal? I'm even getting chills holding it. Yeah, that's like the holy grail. When I was seven years
Starting point is 00:30:51 old, that's the one thing I remember was the everlasting gobstopper. With all the different flavors and it lasts forever. Yes. It's the original everlasting gobststopper. It's in a glass case and it's on a special stand. Is that trash or treasure? I'm going to go treasure. Treasure. So worth more than $5,000. Let's find out. I got to stick with $100,000 for the Gobstopper.
Starting point is 00:31:19 Whoa. Well done. $100,000 for a gooby old lolly. I guess it's everlasting though, so it doesn't matter how old it is. Good work. You're off to a great start. You just need one more to take the mobile fuel.
Starting point is 00:31:31 Here comes item number two. I have a Game of Thrones first edition signed copy by George R.R. Martin. Signed by the author and by the illustrators. And it's limited, i.e. there were only 500 copies total. This is number 257. And it's a first edition, which I believe, I don't know a lot about books,
Starting point is 00:31:49 but I believe that's the first print run that they did. Yeah, the first time they ever printed it out. It's Game of Thrones and it's signed by George R.R. Martin. Is that trash or treasure? I'm going to go trash. You're going to say, ooh, ooh, controversial. Someone doesn't like Game of Thrones. But let's have a listen.
Starting point is 00:32:07 Let's find out. Copies of this sell for $2,000. $2,500. I know you can get that. Oh, back yourself, girl. You've absolutely nailed it. Well done. Yay, thank you so much.
Starting point is 00:32:17 Two from two. That's all you need to get. We won't do the third one because we've got to desperately hold on to this audio. Thank you. Because they're so hard to find. Ben's saying thank you in the background. You win some mobile fuel. Congratulations.
Starting point is 00:32:29 Thank you so much. No worries. I enjoy this game, mate, so you keep going, okay? You stay in the audio minds. We need more. We need more, damn it! ZM Spree and Clint, the podcast. The Inland Revenue of New Zealand, the IRD,
Starting point is 00:32:43 the place that normally takes your money, right? They normally... Yes, I literally just got an email again saying I owe more money. Like, seriously. More? Yeah. I thought you paid what you owed. No.
Starting point is 00:32:53 Apparently I've got student loan stuff I need to owe now too. Producer Ellie, because now they've made the tax refunds automatic. Yeah. But that also means that the tax bills are automatic. And you got a letter for how much? So it was $1,500 in the end. And I'm now paying that off slowly. And now apparently there's another $500 that I owe.
Starting point is 00:33:09 So we're up to over $2,000. You're really not happy about it. What a kick in the tush. Yeah, so if Mr. or Mrs. Konami could help me out, that'd be really nice. This is where it gets really interesting. Mr. or Mrs. Konami, you are owed $252,000 by the Inland Revenue. I've been reading about this. So there is a pile of money, unclaimed,
Starting point is 00:33:32 that belongs to New Zealanders that the Inland Revenue has that totals $181,337,000. There's almost $200 million there, unclaimed. So there is a service that has been set up to return that money to people. Yeah,000. There's almost $200 million there unclaimed. So there is a service that has been set up to return that money to people. But I don't think they're in any rush. No, I wouldn't be if I had all that money. I don't think any government department is in any rush.
Starting point is 00:33:56 It's not a criticism, it's just the truth. It was set up in 1974, the business that returns your money to you. And since then they have returned $24 million. Far out. $2.2 million has been returned in the last year. But there are 10 people who have the most money owed to them.
Starting point is 00:34:16 They range from someone called S.H. Love. If that's your initials, you could be owed $32,000 by the Inland Revenue, all the way up to the top number which is 252 000 150 135 dollars and 88 cents we gave out the name before and asked you to call if you have that last name it was konami k-o-n oh k-o-N A-M-I. I want to get it right because I want to get your hopes up. Did anybody call? No. No one with that last name. No, unfortunately. Well, we can give out
Starting point is 00:34:52 the details. It is a Mrs. So it's a married person or at least someone who has been married. A Mrs. S. Konami. Like it doesn't seem like that common a name. No. No. Sounds Japanese or something maybe. It does sound mildly Japanese.
Starting point is 00:35:08 It definitely has an oriental flavour to it. It does. So if that's you bloody call man. In fact call if you are Mr ZW Zhao. Mrs SS Hussein. That sounds like a warship from the 90s.
Starting point is 00:35:24 Call if you're John Brian Clark. All these people are owed tens, if not hundreds of thousands of dollars. Interestingly, though, the 251, they've said it's not a tax refund. It's not taxes that they've overpaid or anything. It doesn't say what it is. And I did say before, it kind of sounds like a trap. Yeah. Yeah, it does, eh?
Starting point is 00:35:42 Like if you were trying to catch an international fraudster, that's a hell of a honey trap, right? Yeah, true. So if I can't find them, let's pretend they're out of money. So if it's not a trap, maybe I should just call them and just say, hey, do you guys got some money for me? Yeah, you can do that. I can, eh?
Starting point is 00:35:57 Everybody listening, you can do that. Yeah. You can call. You'll be on hold for about four to nine days. Yeah, yeah. But when you get through, you might be owed money. However,
Starting point is 00:36:06 once you've made contact, if you owe money, you have to pay. So for some people, ignorance is bliss. Sorry, gotta go. Bye guys. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:14 By the way, we're setting up a give a little for Ellie. Yes, please, help me. Bree and Clint, the podcast, ZM.
Starting point is 00:36:21 Some police news. Do you reckon any police officers listen to ZM in the car? I hope so. Can you listen to songs in the police car? That's a good question. Surely. Or are you busy listening to the... Oh, the radios.
Starting point is 00:36:36 To the comms. Yeah, the comms. Yeah, I don't know. I'd be really interested to know. If there's any police listening now, can you text us on 9696? Can you text on the... God, I have so many things to do. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:46 I haven't caught up on the latest issue of Police News Magazine, but in Police News Magazine, there has been a request from some police officers to make the police fitness test easier. Interesting. Which I think is a great tactic. If anything's too hard... Just make it easier. just make it easier.
Starting point is 00:37:06 Yeah. They should do that with heaps of things. Agreed. I think there are some good reasons and some not so good reasons, but the police commissioner, Mike Bush, has said, Narbo, it's got to be hard.
Starting point is 00:37:17 It has to be hard. Yeah. You're police officers. Yes, exactly. We need you physically fit for things like what if you've got to chase down a perp? Yep. What if you've got to, what if you've got to
Starting point is 00:37:25 swim to a river? Lots of things. Save somebody. Yeah, all sorts. It's a hugely demanding job. Yeah. I've always wondered if I'm fit enough
Starting point is 00:37:33 to be a police officer. And talking to you today, it was interesting to find out that you, producer Ellie, have had the same curiosity in the past. And you almost became a police officer.
Starting point is 00:37:41 Yeah, I actually started doing all the training and stuff and then my back, yeah, no, it wasn't going to happen. I got medical and they're like, no, your back's screwed. I was like, all right, thanks anyway. Good day. If that is a few police tests, you'd fail.
Starting point is 00:37:52 Yeah, probably. Like, what? You know? But yes, yes. So no, I didn't do that. That was a short-lived dream. You've got the details of what it actually takes. Yeah, so there's the PAT test, which is actually the running and the
Starting point is 00:38:05 swimming, but they're specifically here talking about the PCT course. What's the difference between a PAT and a PCT? Now, I should have got the acronyms right, but the PAT is the running 2.4k's in under 12 minutes, for example. Whoa! And it depends on your age though, and your gender. And then they have
Starting point is 00:38:21 swimming, where you've got to do 50 metres of freestyle in a certain time, et cetera, et cetera. But the PCT is what they're talking about, which is the 400 metre obstacle course. Yeah. Now in the obstacle course, there's 13 things you've got to do
Starting point is 00:38:31 and you're being timed. So the first thing you've got to do is you've got to push a trailer past a cone and then make it stop. So you're kind of pushing and then stopping. That's the hard bit.
Starting point is 00:38:39 Yeah. Stopping it is the hard bit because once it gets its momentum going. Yeah, you've actually got to pull back. Yeah. I wonder what part
Starting point is 00:38:45 of policing that is for yeah oh yeah pushing a vehicle maybe and then making it stop yeah yeah okay cool and then you've got to
Starting point is 00:38:51 pull a wheel out of that like a tyre wheel and you've got to run that 10 metres and then put that in a square then you've got to sprint 200 metres
Starting point is 00:38:58 then you've got to walk a balance beam and then land on 2 feet then you've got to do a ditch jump where you're basically just running and you've got to
Starting point is 00:39:04 jump 1.8 metres which is just like a big leap really. It's quite far, 1.8 metres. Yeah, no, it is. It is, yeah. And then there's a one metre hurdle where you've got to go over the top of it, but you've actually got to put one foot planted on it. You can't just like fly over it. You've actually got to do the technique properly.
Starting point is 00:39:19 Yeah. Then you've got to do an agility run. That sounds risky. That sounds like you'll nut yourself on that one. Yeah, for sure. Then there's the agility run, which is zigzagging between cones. Oh, God. Then there's two low hurdles.
Starting point is 00:39:28 So you've got to go under the hurdles, but keep your back and your head down. Then you've got to jump through a window, but stay to one side and watch your head. It's all very technical. Then you've got to jump over a 1.8-meter wall. One foot has to be planted on the wall, and then you roll your body off. Yeah. Then you do a body drag. I'm puffed just listening. I know. You do a body drag. So you've got to back straight, feet wide you roll your body off. Yeah. Then you do a body drag. I'm puffed just listening.
Starting point is 00:39:45 I know. You do a body drag. So you've got to back straight, feet wide, pulling your body. It doesn't actually say how long that's for but it looked about
Starting point is 00:39:51 maybe five metres. Yeah. Then you've got a 2.2 high fence so you've got to get over that same style, land on two feet and the last thing you've got to do is sprint to the finish.
Starting point is 00:40:00 Yeah. Now there's time criterias for age and gender. Okay. So let's say Clint, 32. 32. Yeah, 32. You're a for age and gender. Okay. So let's say, Clint, 32. Two. Yeah, 32. You're a male.
Starting point is 00:40:08 You would have to do that course in two minutes, 32 seconds. No, get out of town. That's hard, eh? Get out of town. That is hard. Okay, producer Ben is a 26-year-old male. What is his time? Peak fitness.
Starting point is 00:40:20 Oh, yeah, all right. Well, you'd be 220. Do you think you'd do that? No, I wouldn't say it on air. I'd do it. What about you? So I'm 26 female. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:29 So I'm 252. So I've got about 32 seconds of stretch. So you get an extra 30 seconds. Yeah, basically. That's sexism. Oh, get out. God, before you... Oh, that's so fast.
Starting point is 00:40:38 So I had a plan for this. I was like, producer Ben, get us in for a police test and let's film it. After hearing that, I don't know if I want to. Yeah, I'm tired saying it all. I know. Maximum respect to our New Zealand police, by the way. Yeah. Not just for the work you do, but for also having to do that.
Starting point is 00:40:52 Yeah. God, I hope they give you a couple of years between just to like blow out. Yeah, hard out. And then you only have to get fit every now and then. We're also getting hundreds of texts. All the police say we love listening to ZM. We listen in the car. Are you serious?
Starting point is 00:41:04 Yeah, I know. Oh, how good. Turn your sirens on, guys. Let's do a nationwide siren. Yes. We've just turned off ZM. Yeah. ZM's Bree and Clint, the podcast.
Starting point is 00:41:21 That special time of the day When we get you involved And find out what was number one on your 16th birthday And then we play the biggest banger that comes through that day First up, we asked for it And it's come through We do have police officers listening We do
Starting point is 00:41:36 There are police officers listening all over the country In police cars And Jane's here Hey Jane Hey, how's it going? Hey, good, going well Going well Are you on the beat at the moment?
Starting point is 00:41:47 No, I'm not. I'm not. I've finished work today. You're off duty. Do you listen to the radio in the police cars? Yeah, absolutely. Is it like an Uber? Like if you arrest somebody and they're on the back,
Starting point is 00:41:57 can they request like a radio station change? Can they ask for air conditioning? Like can they say, hey, you guys mind turning the AC on? Depends how well they behave. Yeah, these are all stupid questions that I'm enjoying wasting your time with. Only because you're off duty, though. Only because you're off duty. What's your birthday?
Starting point is 00:42:17 Let's find out what your birthday banger is. Oh, it's going to be an oldie but a goodie. 24-7-1968. Okay, Jane, you were 16 on the 24th of July, 1984 and on that day this topped the charts. It's Uncle Bob.
Starting point is 00:42:39 That's not a banger. That's not a banger. It's a chill one to be honest. It is very chill. You wait there because I think we might need to get you involved for the deciding votes. Kushla's here. Hey, Kushla. Hi, how's it going?

Thought can stand under my umbrella. Original Riri. Yeah. Umbrella. Thoughts, feelings, emotions? Oh, I'm sure it was a banger back in the day, but not my favourite.
Starting point is 00:43:52 You're a bit disappointed, aren't you? Nah. Well, you don't get to choose your birthday banger. Your birthday banger chooses you. That's the problem. I think it would be wrong if we didn't give the decision to Officer James. Yes, we should. Do you agree?
Starting point is 00:44:05 Yeah, yeah. Welcome back, Officer. Look, how can you not choose Bob Marley? Like, really? I thought it wasn't a banger. No, it's such a banger. I said, how can you not call that a banger? I don't mean to argue with a police officer.
Starting point is 00:44:21 Undeniable. It's just I heard you say that it was a bit of a buzzkill. Well, go back and listen to the recording because I reckon that's not what I said. Are you instructing us? We might have to request that evidence. Okay. Are you instructing us to play Bob Marley? Absolutely.

It's one love for Jane, Officer Jane of the New Zealand Police, who instructed us that we must play that song. We did argue with her about the audio. Now, you've been, as a good detective would be, and you've gone back and checked the tapes.
Starting point is 00:47:26 Like she said, definitely don't do. Yeah. Or did she say, do it? No, she said, do it. Well, you're well within your rights to check, Ben. Yep. Do we have the tapes here? We have the tapes.
Starting point is 00:47:36 So this was, because I believe she said, don't play it, and then she said, do play it. Yeah. This is her initial statement, yes? Yeah, this is her initial statement about Bob Marley. Okay. It's Uncle Bob. That's not a banger.
Starting point is 00:47:48 That's not a banger. That's not a banger. Slow down. Slow it down. This one here. That's not a banger. It's very clear now. I'd love to see her lawyers argue her way out of that one.
Starting point is 00:48:01 But she changed her story. Okay. And it felt good. It was a great birthday banger. I'm glad that she did. I'm really glad that she did. Great text messages coming in about it too. So there we go.
Starting point is 00:48:10 Eddie's Officer Jane. Brie and Clint, the podcast. ZM. Are we ready for our second dose of aviation-based news for the day? Can we handle our second dose of aviation-based news for the day? Yep.
Starting point is 00:48:22 Always ready. You don't seem ready. You seem flustered. Yeah, we were. That gave me a fright, that sound. Because it's so stereo, so real. Because we don't play it every time. I know.
Starting point is 00:48:32 This is actually fun. If you've got a good car stereo and your speakers are actually balanced properly, it should sound like the plane is flying through your car. Just listen. We won't talk over it. Listen. Now, if you don't have good car speakers,
Starting point is 00:48:47 that's either just going to sound like... Or you're not going to hear it for ages, and then you'll hear it just like leaving your car. Or it will fly into your car, and then it will disappear in your car. You'll go, shit, is that plane still inside my car? So there's so many different options. This is news regarding economy flights
Starting point is 00:49:06 that are now going to have cocktail service. Ooh. Can you find me some cocktail-based music, please, Ben? Yep, I can try that. Yeah, you can find that out for us. Delta Airlines, which don't currently fly out of New Zealand, but they do fly out of Sydney, so you can get a connecting flight and then carry on to America.
Starting point is 00:49:22 Even in economy now, they are going to start serving cocktails. And by a cocktail, I mean a Bellini, which is champagne with fruit syrup on it. Yeah. As you board. So you get that. What is this? Cocktail fancy music. This is not cocktail.

Starting point is 00:50:52 You know, doesn't this make you feel like a peanut killer? Oh, it's finished already. ZM Spree and Clint, the podcast. Producer Ellie's here, though. Hi. Hello. We were talking before. There is a festival that is under fire for offering differing ticket prices to different people.
Starting point is 00:51:09 Now, I've prefaced this with this is going to get some people pretty fired up. Yeah, I think it might. Yeah. Give us the details. So basically, there's a music festival in Detroit that's happening in just under a month in August. It's called Afro Future Fest. Yes. And they are offering different prices for tickets depending on your skin colour.
Starting point is 00:51:30 Ooh, that is a spicy taco to tackle. Yeah. Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Give us some details. So basically, it's for the 3rd to 4th of August. Sorry. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:42 There's different tickets for people of colour and then non-people of colour. Okay. there's different tickets for people of colour and then people non-people of colour so early bird tickets for people of colour was $10 and it was $20 so double the price
Starting point is 00:51:53 for people of non-colour but not that much more yeah okay yeah just $10 more yeah well I guess double but it's double yeah exactly
Starting point is 00:52:00 and those are early birds so you can only imagine it would go up further yeah then oh then it goes up to 20 and 40. So it's always going to be 50% more if you are non-color. If you're a non-person of color.
Starting point is 00:52:11 Okay. Now, I don't know how, it was never really clear how you identify yourself, right? Oh, true. How do you just come up to the gate and they go, oh, yep, you're of color? Yeah. What if you technically do have color in your skin but it's not clearly obvious to the eye like Love Island
Starting point is 00:52:27 how they're so tanned but most of them are just pommies yes exactly like there's no real or me the whitest Maori you've ever seen
Starting point is 00:52:34 exactly right you are technically of colour but you might not look like it but it's called Afro Future Festival so I imagine it's African American yes I think so
Starting point is 00:52:44 and they've basically said they've come out and they've said imagine it's African-American. Yes, I think so. They've basically said, they've come out and they've said, sorry, they've said equity, so they've called it equity, which is weird. Equity is ensuring everyone has what they need to be successful. Our ticket structure was built to ensure that the most marginalised communities, people of colour, are provided with an equitable chance at enjoying events in their own community.
Starting point is 00:53:05 I get it. They're talking about white privilege and stuff. Yeah. Which is, I actually, I think it's a fine conversation and I'm actually for that conversation as well. It's just, it gets tricky because what do you deem as a person of colour? That's the thing. That's where it starts to.
Starting point is 00:53:17 It's very ambiguous. Very ambiguous. One of the artists has actually pulled out because of it. Yeah. Because he just doesn't want to be associated with that sort of, I guess. Also, you know what you risk people who don't have money for a full ticket
Starting point is 00:53:27 doing blackface oh my god that's so true it's just not a laughing matter oh my god but if it happens yeah it's just dude might just be
Starting point is 00:53:35 trying to get a cheap ticket yeah it's just interesting I just found it very interesting but it still happens good publicity yeah there you go alright
Starting point is 00:53:42 can you imagine if they did that anyway anyway yeah like Good publicity Yeah There you go Alright Can you imagine If they did that Anyway Anyway Yeah Like ZM's Free and Clint The podcast
