Hi everybody and welcome to the Bree and Clint podcast, which is now sponsored by JC's Quality Outback Nut Mix.
Yes!
A zingy mix of Cree Cree peanuts and crunchy roasted nuts.
You know what they say?
Yeah?
Get your nut on.
Get your nut on.
And if you're having people over this weekend, buy the family pack and bust a nut.
That's great!
That's what they say as well.
They do say that.
Bust a nut for your family is what they say at JC's Quality Outback Nut Mix Company.
They also say JC's, our specialty, the salty nut.
Exactly what they say.
They do say that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Roast a nut.
Put our nuts in your mouth.
That's what they say.
That's part of it too.
Full disclaimer, the JC's Nut Company is in no way affiliated with the Brian Clint Show.
But we love them.
I just love them.
I just bought them from the vending machine and I just love them.
And I'm hoping that by saying this, we're going to attract a sponsor.
We're just a couple of nuts who love nuts.
We're nuts for nuts.
Yep, we are nuts for nuts.
We're a couple of utter nutters.
Can you imagine if they ever hear this?
They're going to be like, who are those crazy people?
Can't figure out
if I want them to hear it
or I want them to never hear it.
Hmm.
So,
look,
it's an organic
piece of integration
because I genuinely love this stuff.
I do love those.
It's like when an influencer
has got collagen powder
and they're like,
I know that
I am being paid to say this,
but guys,
I genuinely love this.
I do genuinely love it.
It's helped me regrow my hair after childbirth and my fingernails have never...
Have you taken collagen powder?
Hell no, that stuff's a scam.
Well, to my knowledge.
I did take it for a while.
They got me for a second.
You gave it away.
And then I was kind of like.
You spent big money on it too.
I did.
And I was kind of like, how am I going to know if this does anything?
Exactly my opinion on all vitamins.
It's not.
Yeah, well, true.
Every now and then I'll go, it's time to look after myself.
Time to get a men's multi.
And the only difference that happens.
What? My piss goes radioactive yellow. So they're see it's working see it's working it's coming
out your your wang no it just makes you not able to see if you're dehydrated or not that as well
yeah so i just something away from you i just i've never taken any kind of like multivitamin yeah and gone oh i feel drastically better i've never taken vitamins
jc's quality outback nut mix though i've never felt better god it makes you feel alive doesn't
it yeah it makes you feel like you're just full of energy and ready to take i feel like i'm ready
to saddle up and hit the outback hit that hit that bareback grab my d dingoes and head on out to the...
I'll go side saddle.
You go...
Don't do your bareback joke again.
It didn't hit the first time.
God damn it.
Have you...
Speaking of bareback, have you...
I'll go...
You go...
Have you ever ridden a horse bareback?
No, but I've ridden one reverse cowgirl.
Is that what you want?
No, but actually I'm being serious. Have I ever ridden a horse bareback? Yeah. What do I look like? one reverse cowgirl. Is that what you want? No, but actually I'm being serious.
Have I ever ridden a horse bareback?
What do I look like?
I don't know.
A guy who rides bareback horses?
Ask me.
I have.
I know you have.
I've ridden one without a bra.
You are a McLeod's daughter.
I literally am.
I rode a horse.
I used to ride horses just with holding their mane.
No bridle, no saddle, and holy shit, your vagina would be sore afterwards.
I don't believe you, but I'm going to challenge you.
You call my mum right now and you ask her.
All right, I will.
And I used to ride them, bareback, no bridle, everything into the dam.
No bra?
No bridle.
Oh.
Mama.
Probably wasn't wearing a bra either.
Is this the first time Mama Di
Has been on the podcast intro?
I think it might be
She's not on it yet
Have you ridden a horse bareback Ben?
Nah not naked
Like what do you mean?
The horse has no saddle on it
The horse has no saddle
Don't think that's safe
Is that safe?
No
It's not that dangerous
Intern Michaela what about you? No. No, it's not that dangerous. Intern Michaela, what about you?
No.
No?
No, I have no idea.
Okay, straight no from you.
I wonder if my mum has.
My cousin has.
Has she?
Yeah.
They own horses.
It's a weird thing to know about your cousin.
Hi, Mum and Di.
It's Bree and Clint.
Hi, Mum.
Hi, guys.
How are you going?
Good.
You're on the podcast intro right now.
Oh, really?
Yeah, we can see.
I've been demoted to that, have I?
No, this is the best part of the show.
No, we've got the Kiwi Mama Di on the show,
but we thought you could do the podcast intro.
Oh, Brianna.
It's good, though.
You can do swear words on the podcast if you want.
Yeah, swear, Mum, swear.
Oh, yeah, that's great because I don't swear.
No, she doesn't.
I've told you this before.
Do it, do it, and I'll beep it for you.
Yeah, say something.
No, no, no, no.
Say the dirtiest word you're willing to say.
No, okay, I'll say the dirtiest word I'm willing to say.
Okay, ready?
I hate New South Wales.
Fair enough.
You couldn't even bring yourself Just to say New South Wales
You had to preface it with
No I wouldn't know
What you guys might cut in around
If I just say New South Wales
You might put in I love it
You could say big hairy donkey dick
She's never going to say that
Why has the b-boys come on too late
Hey I've got a question for you.
Yeah?
And Bree's not allowed to have any input on this.
Oh, you always.
I can't.
No, no, no, no.
I'm not saying.
Just ask her outright.
Has, did Bree used to ride horses with no saddle and no bridle,
just holding on to the mane?
Yeah.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, all the time she did.
Really?
Yeah.
Yeah, she did.
I mean, I wouldn't call them horses.
They were ponies.
More like, yeah, they were ponies, little ones.
Her legs used to drag on the ground.
Yeah, okay, this is drastically different.
No!
No!
Poor Brianna.
I was a big child.
Poor ponies.
And the pony did struggle a little bit.
I mean, you know what she used to do?
Your mum's like, I can't burden this poor horse with a saddle as well.
No.
Yeah, you know what she used to do, though?
What?
Because they wouldn't go fast enough, she used to put a carrot on the end of the stick
and hang it over the front of the...
Yeah, bubbles.
We do that with a sausage when we want to get Brie motivated.
That's so true.
Come on.
Time to go to the studio now.
Come on.
Okay.
Thanks, guys.
Okay.
Thank you.
Love you.
Thanks, Mum.
Love you.
Love you.
Call you later.
Okay.
Okay.
Oh, no.
No need to call us that.
No need to call us that, Mum.
That was very rude. Oh, Brianna. No need to call us that. No need to call us that, Mum.
That was very rude.
Oh, Brianna.
Oh, Mum. Oh, Brianna.
What are you doing?
Stop swearing.
You keep beeping me.
Yeah, okay.
We'll let you go.
Love you.
Okay.
Oh, Jesus. Mum. I will say something now. See you go. Love you. Okay. Oh, Jesus.
I will say something now.
See you later.
I nearly said shithead.
Here's the podcast, everybody.
Enjoy.
Hey, Google.
What's the time?
It's 3 p.m.
Give or take a minute.
Alexa, play ZM on iHeartRadio.
Playing ZM on iHeartRadio. Playing ZM on iHeartRadio.
Hey Siri, Winner Bree and Clint on.
Bree and Clint are on air in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
Hello everybody.
There we go.
Hey, we're on.
We're on, how's it going?
Sorry, we're a bit casual today.
Are your headphones extremely loud?
Yeah, mine nearly burst my eardrums.
This is how Fletch, Vaughan and Megan have it.
So I haven't switched the computer over to be our one yet.
Yeah, because we have our own profile.
This one's right to be those guys.
Oh, Megan's deaf.
How's Fletch?
Fletch is, ow.
It's so loud.
It's so loud.
I kind of like it.
It's in full stereo.
Yeah, it feels like you're in a nightclub, eh?
God, imagine hearing this at 6 o'clock in the morning every day.
Can I get out of here?
That's how you have to talk to someone in a nightclub.
Hey, welcome to the show, everybody.
Good to be here.
We are playing Watch the Plot again today.
We were at a jackpotted amount of mobile fuel up for grabs, $150 on the show today.
No, it's $200.
Is it $200?
$200.
Right.
We're just making up numbers now.
It's $5,000.
We're not making up numbers.
I've won multiple weeks in a row.
Yeah.
And we're not getting it wrong.
It's a movie guessing game that Bree doesn't take too seriously at all.
That's just like, yeah, not a big deal.
You can play against her at 10 to 5 this afternoon if you
want to do What's the Plot with her. If you dare.
Coming up soon too, Dee McCarthy
is going to be on the show. He's
got big news about who's going to play
Princess Diana in a movie about her
life. This is really interesting actually
because straight away you go, alright, I can
see Princess Diana in my mind. Who's
the right actress to play her?
You know who would have been amazing back in the day?
Who?
Obviously not now because she's probably too old.
Yeah.
But Julie Andrews would have done an amazing job.
Yeah, right.
Do those like...
What?
How old's Julie Andrews?
I think she'd be in her 80s.
Yeah, right.
Yeah.
So she was always older than Diana.
Yeah, I see what you're saying, but I'm just saying, like, she,
I picture her as Diana for some reason.
You know who'd be a great Diana?
The Queen.
Oh, she's not even an actress.
That's not the same.
Next, though, there's been a bold fashion choice made on the show today.
And I'm for it.
I'm very pro it.
Yeah, I think you should be proud
to wear male g-strings because they're very
you. They're very now. Excuse
me. And you're forward thinking, mate.
Go. No. Excuse me. It's not
a male g-string. In fact, it's not me who's
made the bold fashion choice. It's
you. You've done an entire Instagram
series about it. I stand by this choice.
Yeah, I'm glad that you do. Yeah,
I'm all for it and I'm glad you're
on board as well. It could be a
workplace fashion revolution
underway. I think we're
starting something here, mate. We'll talk about
it after Regard on ZM. Bree and Clint.
Bree and Clint.
Hold on tight, New Zealand,
because we have a fashionista
in the studio with us this afternoon.
Fashion cameras at the ready.
That's paparazzi hair everywhere
because Bree is changing the workplace fashion game.
I was going to say, I can't say I've ever been called a fashionista,
but I'll own that title.
Get ready, girl.
You're going to have to start a blog.
I'm being fashion forward.
You are being fashion forward because you're stepping outside of,
actually, no, you're not stepping outside of your comfort no, you're not stepping outside of your comfort zone.
You're literally stepping directly into your comfort zone.
So tell me what today you have chosen as your work wear.
Today I decided was going to be the day that I wore tracksuit pants to work on purpose.
She's a hero and we all know it.
I just thought I'm at that point in my life where I'm like, you know what, I'm pretty sure I can pull this off. And do I care if I
don't really pull it off? Not really, no. Now, I don't know how you imagine the ZM workplace to be.
Do you think it's like a flat where it's just a bunch of us huddled around like an oil heater
sort of thing? It's actually very professional in this building.
There are people that wear suits.
There are important business people coming and going.
The New Zealand Herald's in this building.
Except for that time Jono from Jono and Ben pulled his pants down in the middle of the office.
Yeah, well, you're on the same level as him now.
You've just gone, I don't care what best practice is.
I'm going to show up to work in track pants. Can I
say, I'm going to defend myself a little bit
because I believe these
tracksuit pants
are on the side of
more stylish
than
sweatpants, pyjama.
And what makes you say that? What is the
differentiating quality about
this pair of tan-coloured track pants?
So see how they've got a tight part at the ankle?
A cuff.
A cuff.
Yeah.
So it gives you more shape around the ankle rather than, you know,
just kind of flopping about anywhere.
Yeah.
So I feel like that's kind of, you know, a different feature.
Okay, all right.
Do they have an elastic waist belt?
No comment. Do they have a elastic waist belt? No comment.
Do they have a drawstring inside that?
Well, I'm not going to-
It's not a criticism.
None of this is a criticism.
I just need to know.
Of course they do.
They're tracksuit pants.
Yeah, and if you were picking them up from Kmart,
would they be grouped with the other track pants?
Oh, there's an interesting-
No, they'd be in the smart casual tracksuit pants.
Smart casual, okay, all right.
I think there's a difference.
Okay.
Look, I think it's good.
Do you think I pull it off?
Yeah, you definitely pull it off.
Yeah.
You need to say that.
We're too far down the road.
I have to say that.
I think that especially in the current environment
where people are easing back into the workplace, you know,
a lot of us are used to working in track pants from home for ages.
This is the right transition.
I think it's good.
I think we should, you know, there's plenty of room to stretch and move.
Yeah.
And I feel free.
Yeah.
And if you feel free, it means you're going to do better work.
Absolutely right.
And you're comfortable.
Yes.
That's the main thing.
You look very comfortable.
I don't think you understand how comfortable I am.
These tracksuit pants, not only are they smart casual,
they're the comfiest tracksuit pants I've ever put onto my body.
Right.
Now, we think that you're a trailblazer,
but maybe we're behind the times here.
So I want to ask the question this afternoon,
do you wear track pants to work all the time?
And what's the job that you do?
I want to hear from these pioneers.
Yeah.
Maybe it's a job that you specifically can wear track pants
and you want to make people jealous of your job.
Or maybe you shouldn't be wearing track pants to work,
but you go, screw it.
It's my life.
I ain't going to live forever.
I'm going to wear track pants to work.
Exactly right.
And you, my friend, are an inspiration
and we need to hear from you this afternoon.
Yes, please.
0800 dials at M.
Or you can text us on 9696.
If like your pants pants that's more comfortable
we just want to know
do you wear
track pants to work
maybe you're at work
right now
wearing them
and you're wearing them hard
Brie and Clint
we're changing the game
here at ZM
well you are Brie
and I'm supporting
I'm supporting your mission
I appreciate your support mate
because you know
I did feel a bit uneasy
coming into work today.
And you know what?
Everyone's been really lovely and supportive.
And I think there's one main reason for that.
What's that?
Because they also want to wear tracksuit pants to work.
Exactly right.
Do we need to rename Thursdays tracksuit pant Thursdays?
I'd be so keen for that.
What's got a better ring, track pant Thursdays or track pant Tuesdays?
And what day feels better?
Stay home Wednesdays.
Stay home Wednesdays, Stay home Wednesdays.
F off Fridays.
Yeah, F off Fridays.
All right, we'll work on that.
We want to know, though, this is a first for you.
Yes.
But are people out there doing that?
Wear it on purpose.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I mean, you know, we've all had days.
But this is the first time I've made a decision where I'm going to be like,
no, I'm wearing these to work.
Yeah, so do you have a job where you can wear track pants to work?
Dane's here.
Hi, Dane.
G'day, Dane. Yeah, how's it going? Good, thanks, Dane. Dane, do you wear trackies to work. Yeah, so do you have a job where you can wear track pants to work? Dane's here. Hi, Dane. G'day, Dane.
Yeah, how's it going? Good, thanks, Dane. Do you wear
trackies to work? Yeah, I do,
but, well, I try not to, but I do,
but I'm a stock truck driver
carting livestock around the country, and
we actually, it's,
well, it's not compulsory to wear pants, but it's
recommended we do.
I see what you're
saying. No, I think you guys deserve it for how hard it is to do those long,
long bloody holes.
You've got to be comfortable.
You've got to be comfy.
Actually, it's actually surprisingly easy.
To do the driving or to wear the track pants?
Well, both, actually.
Yeah, right.
Both.
And I've seen those little shorts you guys get away with sometimes.
I know that it's compulsory to wear pants,
but you guys are pushing it to the limit.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
They're not shorts.
That's a maxi pad.
Crystal's here.
Hi, Crystal.
Hi, Crystal.
Hi, how are you?
Good, thanks, Crystal.
Do you wear tracksuit pants to work?
I sure do.
And what do you do for a job?
I own a home kill butchery.
Oh, whoa.
Okay, interesting. Tell us
more. Well, I do get
more butt grabs if I do wear my
tights. Let me please tell me
you work with your boyfriend or husband?
Husband, yeah.
Oh, whoa.
Okay, so home kill butchery, you go
on to other people's property and
do the butchering, is that right?
Yeah, well, my husband shoots them and then we process them.
Wow, and where do you live, can I ask?
In Minamata.
And have any of your clients ever complained about your workplace attire?
No, not yet.
I doubt they would be, right?
Why would you be complaining about that?
I would want a pair of, if I was in Crystal's situation,
a pair of pants where it was easier to wash the blood off.
Yeah, black ones.
Like just straight black pants.
Yeah.
Laura's here.
Hi, Laura.
Hi, Laura.
Hi.
Let me guess, you're wearing tracksuit pants right now
and you're at work?
I'm wearing tracksuit pants,
but I finished work about an hour ago.
Oh, yeah.
I did wear them today.
It was one of those days.
So what's the job that you do where you get to finish just after 2 o'clock
and you can wear track pants?
I am a teacher aide.
We're in the wrong job, Clint.
Teacher aide, right.
That sounds bloody cushy and nice, I tell you.
It's lovely.
Now, I'm thinking about your clients, who are obviously children.
Yes.
Do they ever critique your work wear?
Oh, no.
I mean, like, I think if they get to wear tracksuit pants, I should too.
I think that's a very good philosophy.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Take it even further.
If one of them wets their pants, you should get to wet your pants.
Exactly.
You know?
If they have a code brown, I should have a code brown.
You get to have a code brown.
You deserve a bit of leniency on that, I think.
I mean, that's with you where the track pants are the best attire
to do a code brown in.
Exactly.
They just fall right to your ankle.
They would fall right to your ankle.
Oh!
And finally, Chelsea, you're wearing track pants to work.
What do you do for a job?
I'm an apprentice carpenter in Queenstown.
Oh, cool. And how
many people on the job site, Laura,
are wearing tracksuit pants right now?
I mean Chelsea, sorry.
The staple
trackie is a $10 warehouse trackie
and the majority
of us, because if they rip, it's
pretty cheap to buy another pair. Yeah, right.
See, I never knew that. Have you thought about jeans
which wouldn't rip as often?
Yeah, they're not flexible.
You've got to be able to move.
So you can buy a size up in the warehouse
trackie, do the string nice and tight
and then you've got the tight cuff around the ankle as well.
What about a jigging?
Is that a good in-between pant for you maybe, Chelsea?
For a female,
yes, but I have a feeling it's hard enough being on site
as a female wearing jeggings on site.
Might cause you a little bit of trouble.
You've got an extremely good point, and I rest my case.
And also, Chelsea, I don't think I'd like to see Big Robbo
in a pair of jeggings either.
He bends down and you're like, Robbo, they're see-through.
I've told you, mate.
Track pant Thursday. I reckon we get it going I've told you, mate. Track pan Thursday.
I reckon we get it going.
I'm here, mate.
I'm all for it.
Sounds good.
Bree and Clint.
Time for the latest.
From iHeartRadio.
This is The Latest.
Live from LA with Dean McCarthy.
This is huge and I've intentionally kept it a secret from you, Bree.
What is it?
Dean, tell us the major TV show that is about to get its own movie.
I'm beyond shooketh.
McCloud's Daughters is coming to the big screen.
When did that get announced?
It's just today.
That show was so iconic for me personally, but for so many people.
Yeah.
Tell us, Dean, what's the details?
Yeah, 11 years later, finally the writer of the show has sat down
and revealed today on Instagram that she's actually written the film
and Screen Tasmania and the Tasmanian government have funded it
and thrown all this money at it to back it.
It's going to happen.
The Clown's Daughter is coming to a silver screen near you.
Can't wait.
A silver screen near you.
I'd love to audition.
There will be a – this is the problem.
I know how to side saddle.
There will be a whole generation of people listening to ZDM
that have no idea what McLeod's Daughters is,
but basically imagine Bree's youth.
Rural, Australian girl with a pair of RM Williams and a Cobra
just sitting on the back of a horse,
trodding around the Australian outback.
Sneaking out the back door sometimes to go to a B&S ball and a piss up.
That's pretty much what it was, and I'm here for it.
Was that your past as well, Dina?
It was.
Was that your upbringing?
Oh, I loved a good side, so I still do.
Yeah, it's kind of like my biopic. Is that your upbringing? Oh, I loved a good side saddle. Still do.
Yeah, it's kind of like my biopic.
Add a few gays, add a Ricky Martin teacher, and it's literally me.
Different side saddle, Dean, I think.
That is breaking news right here on the Bree and Clint show that McLeod's Daughters is getting its own movie.
I hope I get the lead role.
It's got to be made for TV.
Surely it's made for TV.
Surely, I think so.
Is it going to get a Hollywood Boulevard release?
We don't know.
That is the latest from Dean McCarthy.
Fly from Hollywood.
It's brought to you by Bumble,
the social networking app where women make the first move.
I've got a bit of a hypothetical slash.
It actually happened,
but I want to know who you think is in the right.
Okay, so a real situation.
Yeah, but I wanted to say it was hypothetical because then you're not going to feel like you're going to upset anyone.
Oh, okay.
So let's just say it's hypothetical.
Just lie to me then.
Okay.
This didn't happen.
Okay.
It's just something I thought up in my brain.
Sweet, I'm happy to pass judgment on it with no guilt.
No, so let's say there was a mum and she had a nine-month-old baby.
Yeah. No, so let's say there was a mum and she had a nine-month-old baby and she just decided she's going to go on a walk and she's going to stop in at her local coffee shop.
This is too relatable to me right now.
Well, this is why I'm asking you because you've got a 10-month-old.
11.
11 now, 11-month-old.
They grow up so quick.
And you go on lots of walks.
You get lots of coffees on your walks.
Exactly right.
So I can hypothetically put myself in this hypothetical.
Exactly.
So say it's you.
Anyway, so let's say it's you.
You stroll into your coffee shop,
and Tui, your 11-month-old, is in the stroller.
She's asleep.
Got it.
You roll in.
It's not realistic that she's asleep, but that's fine.
I'll go with it.
She's asleep.
You've gotten her down,
and you sit down at the table and you order
your coffee. It's great. And then
all of a sudden, like a
couple of minutes into your experience, you
just hear the coffee grinder.
Yeah. Yeah, I know the noise.
No, but say it's extra loud
at this particular coffee shop.
Sure.
Anyway, so Tui wakes up straight away.
She's crying.
She's, you know, obviously making drama as she normally does.
Excuse me.
Babies.
Yeah.
Anyway, so you manage to, and the coffee grinder stops.
You manage to get her back down for a sleep.
Yeah.
Then the coffee grinder starts again.
Yeah.
Anyway, you're pissed off at this point.
So you decide you're going to go over to the barista
and you're going to say, hey, I'm so sorry,
but do you think you could not do that for just a little bit
because my baby's asleep?
Am I?
Am I going to tell a barista in a coffee shop not to grind coffee beans?
Anyway, so say you've done that, right?
And they go, yeah, that's all good, no worries.
We just won't do it for half an hour or so.
Okay.
Anyway.
We'll just suspend our business so your child can have a nap in our cafe.
Okay, yeah.
Anyway, then the coffee grinder starts another 15 minutes later,
wakes up Tui again.
Yeah, how's the coffee grinder sound?
Yeah, got it. Anyway,
you've decided, nah, I've had enough.
You put Tui in the stroller, you're out of there.
You make a complaint.
No, not realistic whatsoever.
What kind of psychopath
doesn't expect to hear the sound of
a coffee grinder in a cafe? So this
actually happened. Yeah.
And guess, okay, I want to
ask you, the person's made the complaint, the parent has made the complaint. Yeah. And guess, okay, I want to ask you, the person's made the complaint.
The parent has made the complaint.
Yeah.
What do you think happened?
What do you think the manager said?
Banned the lady from bringing herself or the baby to the cafe?
No, they gave her a voucher and a bunch of free coffees.
Really?
Yes.
This is the most pushover cafe I've ever heard.
So what we're going to do tomorrow is we're going to take Tui down to the cafe.
It's time to tell us...
That don't impress me much.
Or what don't impress you much?
Basically, we've got express permission from Shania Twain to use her song to complain.
Exactly.
Yeah, no, we appreciate that.
We're having a Shania complain.
I don't get it. Like Twain, Shania. No, it didn we appreciate that. We're having a Shania complain. I don't get it.
Like Twain, Shania.
No, it didn't quite work.
Don't worry.
Right.
Yeah, no, I do get it now.
That Shania Twain pun.
That don't impress me much.
We'll get started on this.
Ben, do you want to grab Tanya and see if she's keen to do a
that don't impress me much?
She's got one.
Brie got upset last week because she went last
and all of her ideas had been used by that stage.
What were the odds?
Yeah.
I know.
Do you want me to go first?
So as a special treat, you can go first this week.
Are you ready?
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
So the F word always auto-corrects to ducking.
That don't impress me much.
When am I ever going to write ducking?
What if you're ducking hungry?
I don't.
Go and look at ducks.
I'm not around ducks.
Be better, iPhone.
Be better.
I got one Okay
So you couldn't just Google Maps yourself to Wellington?
That don't impress me much
Like who goes and asks somebody for directions in 2020?
I just don't understand.
I don't get it.
I think it was what is known as a higher.
I don't understand.
Tanya is here.
Tanya, are you ready to play?
Yep.
Yes, Tanya.
We're in your corner, mate.
Are you ready?
Yes.
Yes.
Okay. Oh, you think you're special. Oh, you think you're something else.
Okay.
That don't impress me much.
Three new COVID cases.
That don't impress me much.
She's gone a bit different.
She's sung her own soundtrack. Yeah, we talked before that, Tanya.
You're a trailblazer.
You've made it your own, Tanya.
We agree.
Three new COVID.
We were doing so bloody well. We were doing so've made it your own, Tanya. We agree. Three new co-workers.
We were doing so bloody well.
We were doing so well.
Okay, thanks, Tanya.
Ben, do you want to take us home today?
Yeah, okay, mate.
All right.
Okay.
So you've just started doing roadworks outside my bedroom window now. That don't impress me much.
Nothing worse.
It's so bad.
Have you ever been to Auckland recently?
It's just roadworks.
It's just roadworks.
What about a couple of weeks ago when I told you guys about how I woke up
and I was like, why is everything, like, why is nothing working?
And I was thinking it was all my stuff,
but they turned all of the power off during lockdown.
Oh, right.
So it was completely...
Sorry, are you doing another one?
Oh, sorry.
Do another one.
No, no, no, that's fine.
I thought I'm here, so I may as well.
Brie and Clint.
It's no secret that Brie and I are both big fans of Queer Eye. All things just keep getting better.
And Queer Eye just keeps getting better and better.
Right, they're up to season five on Netflix.
If you haven't seen it, it's an all-new Fab Five.
And God, that Fab.
It is just the most feel-good show that I've seen in probably forever.
It is literally, I agree.
It just fills your heart with warmth and love.
Yeah, and everything that you love from like
renovation shows like The Block or something,
that's in there.
Cooking, it's got it.
Everything you love from cooking shows is in there.
Fashion, it's got it.
Everything you love from like makeover shows,
it's got it.
It's all in there.
It's so good.
There is an episode on season five with no,
I won't do any spoilers in case you haven't seen it,
but there's an episode on season five with no, I won't do any spoilers in case you haven't seen it,
but there's a episode where they go and queer eye a DJ.
It's in the Jersey Shore.
It is in the Jersey Shore.
He's literally a DJ in the clubs on the Jersey Shore where the Jersey Shore was filmed.
So he will have DJ'd to the Situation, to Snooki, to Paulie D,
to Nicole.
You can't miss out.
Who was the real stocky guy?
Vinny.
Vinny.
All of them.
They would have been there.
Because he's been a DJ in the Jersey Shore for a while.
For a fair while.
He started DJing there when he was 21.
And he's now 37. And he's still DJing on the Jersey Shore. He loves it. He started DJing there when he was 21 and he's now 37
and he's still DJing on the Jersey Shore.
He loves it. He loves it. Doing what he loves.
And you think at the start
of the episode that the
Fab Five are there to transition him
out of his DJ life. Because he doesn't have
a girlfriend, he doesn't have kids. He wants to
start a family. And all his other brothers have
kids and family. But it's Wednesday, Thursday,
Friday, Saturday night.
He's up in da club.
Anyway, we won't spoil what happens with that.
That's not what we're going to do with this.
But I did want to ask a question that requires everybody to get a little bit judgmental.
Not in a mean way, but inside yourself you'll know what the answer to this question is.
And we just want you to be honest with us this afternoon. And especially
honest with Bree and I, because we can take it. I don't know if I can.
I don't know if I'm ready. No, sometimes you need to hear the cold hard facts. I don't think I'm ready to let go of this part of my life.
Especially now that we're in level one and people are back into clubs this weekend.
And I know you've got a free weekend this weekend. This might be changing
what I do this weekend.
Here's the question.
How old is too old to be in da club?
I think I'd rather just not know.
No?
Now, the number's going to be different for everybody.
And to be honest, the number will be different for every club.
So we do need you to generalize a little bit for you specifically.
Imagine you're in there.
You're getting your groove on.
Damn it, I'm too old for the club.
You're all up in the club.
You're getting jiggy with it.
You're up in the club, yeah.
And someone comes over and they go, hey, I'm...
You're getting crunk.
I'm David.
I'm whatever age. What is the age where you go, oh, man, you You're getting crunk. I'm David. I'm whatever age.
What is the age where you go,
oh man, you're too old to be in the club?
Do you know, don't say it yet,
but do you know what your number is?
I think so, yeah.
Me too, but I'm going to hold on to it.
We want you guys to call and tell us the truth.
0800 dial ZM or you can text it to 9696
and yes, I know it's a little bit judgmental, but...
There's no right or wrong answer.
Yeah, we say it with love.
How old is too old to be in da club?
Oh, break it down.
Bree and Clint.
We've asked a very invasive, very personal,
very judgmental question this afternoon
in the name of public decency.
I just think sometimes, you know,
it is a little bit judgmental,
but, you know,
I think everyone thinks these things sometimes.
How old is too old to be in da club?
Inspired by an episode of Queer Eye,
which is on at the moment,
where they are making over the life
of a DJ on the Jersey Shore,
who's 37 and been DJing in the Jersey Shore club since he was 21.
Admittedly, he thinks he's too old.
He admits it.
He says, I feel old when I'm in there.
So can we figure it out this afternoon?
As a community, can we come together to decide
how old is too old to be in the club?
What's your number, Brie?
No, I'm not going first.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
Okay, then I'm not going first either.
We'll go to the listeners first.
Sam, hi.
Hi, Sam.
Hey, how's it going?
Good, thanks.
How old do you think is too old to be in the clubs?
I reckon about 45.
Oh, yeah, that's generous.
Okay.
And how old are you, Sam?
I want to know.
24.
24.
All right. And are you still Sam? I want to know. 24. 24. All right.
And are you still up into clubs?
Yeah.
Yeah, I go most weekends with my family.
Do you ever see someone who you think looks like that?
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
You go with your family?
Yeah, you've got to go with the brothers.
Oh, oh.
His brothers.
Right.
I thought I pictured you and your mum and dad and grandma's there.
She's fist pumping.
Tiana, hi. She's fist pumping.
Tiana, hi.
Hi, Tiana.
Hi.
How old's too old to be into clubs?
I'm going to have to say 75.
75?
75?
Why that number specifically?
Oh, no, you go through a lot of things in life and a lot of them's like midlife crisis, menopause,
and, you know, sometimes you just want to feel really old
and want to live your best life.
Blow off a bit of steam.
You need those weekends.
But if you're 76, stay the hell away, according to Tiana.
Thank you, Tiana.
I want to know how old Tiana was, though.
Sure.
Actually, good point.
Tiana, how old are you?
I'm 25.
25.
There you go.
Okay.
Emma, hi.
Hi, Emma.
Hi.
How old are you, Emma?
I'm 26, but it's not me.
I'm with Tiana.
When my grandma was early 70s, this is about 10 years ago now,
I took her clubbing on Courtney Place.
I love that.
I think that's great.
And did she get down, kids?
Oh, she was so down.
For her heart medication, she can't have too much alcohol.
I was going to say, Emma, it sounds lovely in theory,
but what are the health precautions?
Did she have to wear one of those medic alert bracelets
so that if it got too intense in the club,
she could push the button and the St. John's would show up outside?
No, no, she's a spring chicken.
She had a glass of bubbles at Hope Rose.
Yeah.
And then we went down Courtney Place.
And then I took her home at midnight.
Yes.
Your grandma sounds like a little bit of me.
I'd love to go clubbing with my grandma if she was still alive.
God bless.
Via the kebab shop.
I hope you took her home.
Oh, yeah.
What do you reckon grandma would get from the kebab shop?
She'd be getting mixed.
Yeah, she loves a mix.
The phone calls have been incredibly inclusive age-wise,
and it's the complete opposite on the text machine.
There's a lot of judgment on the text machine,
which, I mean, we asked for it.
Yeah, and we want it as well.
Megan, how old's too old to be in the clubs?
I don't actually think you're too old.
I'm 47, and all my workmates took me out on the town in Parmy last year.
And, Megan, could you go just as hard as all of those guys?
Absolutely.
I did not get off that dance floor.
And then my 22-year-old son joined us.
Yeah, right.
And what, you drunk him under the table, I'll bet.
Not quite.
I love that, Megan.
As soon as the borders open, I'm taking my mum out to the clubs.
Yeah, everyone on the phone is...
One of my favourite texts, and you and I were laughing about this,
someone goes, 30 is pushing it.
Go to a pub.
And that text is correct.
No, I disagree.
30 is too old to be in the club.
Nah, I totally disagree with you.
And I'm saying that as someone who's over 30. 30 is too old to be in the club. Nah, I totally disagree with you. And I'm saying that as someone who's over 30.
30 is too old to be in the club.
And I'm saying as someone who is 30, please don't take it away from me.
Bree and Clint.
So we get into work today and let me just set the scene.
Clint's sitting there and he goes, oh, guys, did you see this?
This is massive for me.
Dan Carter has put his first ever playing jersey he's ever sold up on Trade Me.
Yeah.
It's a big deal for me.
It was huge.
I'd like to own it.
And I could see the passion in your eyes and how big of a deal this was
because you love Dan Carter.
You love the All Blacks.
You've got nine jerseys already. Yeah, two of my favourite things, Dan Carter and the All Blacks. You've got nine jerseys already.
Yeah, two of my favourite things, Dan Carter and the All Blacks.
He's my favourite All Black, okay?
And he's never sold one of his jerseys before.
I feel like your favourite All Black changes depending on the situation.
But okay, you really like Dan Carter.
Yeah.
And I thought you said to me you're like,
I haven't even looked at the Trade Me auction yet because I don't really
want to look because I'm worried it's going to go crazy.
Yeah, and there's no point in me looking now.
I might as well just figure out what day it ends, check then and go,
all right, I can't afford it.
Okay.
But there is some money that I would spend on it.
Yeah, so this is the conversation I want to talk to you about.
Yeah.
So obviously, Dan Carter jersey, it's never been for sale like before now.
No, an actual jersey that he played in.
Yeah, it's actually the 70th cap, New Zealand versus South Africa in 2010.
That's the jersey he's selling.
I've done my research, yeah.
Very popular, obviously.
But what I'm going to say is I want to know from you,
what is your maximum amount?
And let's not fluff around because it's radio. I want to know from you, what is your maximum amount? And let's not fluff around because it's radio.
I want to know.
The actual number I'd pay for it.
The actual number you would be comfortable to pay for that jersey
where you could walk away and go, I'm actually, I'm happy with that.
Now, that's a really hard question because I know it's an auction
and I know the money that I'd go in with.
And then I know if I got outbid
I'd get competitive and I'd continue
to bid up. You could outbid yourself.
And I would end up out, I would go over my
cap and then I would
I mean I'd, it's hard because you can't
put it on your credit card either. I'd like to, I could
put this on my credit card but. You'd get
passionate. Yeah I'd get really
sucked in. What is the amount?
What's the number where you'd
go, I'd be willing to pay
for an actual Dan Carter jersey,
all black jersey. This jersey. Yeah.
It's over
$1,000. Okay.
And
I mean, I've got to remember
that I'm a dad now
and... What's the
real number? Because I know you're saying $1,000 and you want to be conservative.
I'm trying to be, yeah.
You'd be willing to go over that.
I know you.
I know how much you like Dan Carter, the All Blacks.
This is an actual real playing jersey.
Yeah.
Well, I've been saving up for a new car.
Would you put that money towards it?
Yeah, I'd dip into that fund.
How much?
Here's what I'm willing to offer.
Yeah.
I had a look at what the jersey was at really early in the auction.
Yeah.
So I haven't seen what's happened.
Yeah, me neither.
But if you set your amount and it hasn't gone over that,
I'm willing because I know how much you wanted,
I'm willing to chip some in for you.
Okay, how much?
Will you match me dollar for dollar?
How much are you going to put in?
I would spend, how much did you spend on the Venote?
Because that was equally as stupid a purchase.
Okay, I'd spend three.
All right, I'd be willing.
God, that's a stupid amount of money.
As a really good friend, I'd be willing. God, that's a stupid amount of money, but I mean.
As a really good friend, I'd be willing to put in half of what you are putting in.
Oh, so you'd know just up to $4,500 for a damn card of jersey.
It's a charity fundraiser too.
It's for his Southbridge Rugby Club.
Exactly. It's for grassroots footy.
It's doing a good thing, you know.
So it's going for a good cause.
And it would be coming out of my savings.
But yeah, okay.
All right. So together. We would be coming out of my savings. But yeah, okay. All right.
So together, we would be at what?
$4,500.
$4,500.
Yeah.
So if it hasn't gone over, we're going to make a bid right now tonight.
Okay, deal.
I'll shake on it.
Yeah.
Okay.
Yep.
Done.
All right.
And you can, yeah, done.
Producer Ben, can you please bring up the Trade Me auction for the Dan Carter real life
playing jersey?
Oh no, now I'm nervous. Now I'm, oh, thank Christ. Please bring up the Trade Me auction for the Dan Carter real life playing jersey. Oh, no.
Now I'm nervous.
Now I'm, oh, thank Christ.
Oh, my God.
$21,200.
Because I said I would spend that much money, but I don't actually.
Oh, I've never been more relieved.
I've never been more relieved about anything in my whole life.
I knew the whole time.
I just wanted to see how far you were willing to go.
Three grand, really?
Brie and Clint.
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's the Plot?
Every Thursday we play What's the Plot
and it's your chance to beat Brie
at her own game.
Every week the amount of prize money jackpots.
This week, we're at $200 of mobile fuel,
and you have to get more movies correct than Bree does.
Sean, good afternoon.
G'day, Sean.
Hey, hey.
Have you heard the game before?
You know how it works?
Every time.
Every time.
Every time.
What are you feeling, Sean?
Do you think you can take me?
No, no one can, but I'll give it a go.
I like that attitude, Sean? Do you think you can take me? No, no one can, but I'll give it a go. I like that attitude, Sean.
May as well.
This week, the theme for the game is movies about money.
Clint loves some money.
No, that's not why.
It's because there was a big lotto win this week.
How would you know that?
Because I am addicted to money.
Excuse me.
All right, here we go.
Sean, all the movies have money,
something about them has to do with money.
And I need you to buzz in
as soon as you want to have a guess at what it is.
Don't wait for me to finish the movie plot.
First movie.
In the 1980s,
our hero takes an entry-level job at a brokerage firm.
Pre.
Pre.
Is it Wolf of Wall Street?
Wolf of Wall Street is correct.
Yes.
Well done.
I sent it myself.
I'm not leaving. I'm not leaving.
The show goes on.
Great movie.
Well done.
Such a good scene.
All right.
You're still in it, Sean.
Here we go.
Movie number two.
Rachel is happily.
Oh, no.
I'll start again.
Rachel is happy to accompany her long-time boyfriend, Nick,
to his best friend's wedding in Singapore.
Sean.
Oh, I know it.
I know it.
I watched it the other night.
Come on, Sean.
Me!
I'm using the ask a friend.
I'm asking Clint for a hint.
I can't give you a hint.
I'm sorry.
And I'm going to have to buzz you out as well. In three, two your friends. I'm asking Clint for a hint. I can't give you a hint. I'm sorry. And I'm going to have to buzz you out as well in three, two, one.
Sorry, Sean.
I have to buzz.
Do I get a guess?
You get a free guess.
Crazy Rich Asians.
Crazy Rich Asians.
What?
Crazy Rich Asians is correct.
What you're trying to say is I won.
Yeah, you won the game.
Sorry, Sean.
Sorry, man.
It's not your week.
I was on my game.
Oh, he's gone.
He hung up.
I think he's that defeated.
Sorry, Sean.
That's it.
That's how we play What's the Plot.
Next week we'll play a game for $200.
I've got to get to that thousand this year.
How many weeks?
Do I have enough?
You need to win another 15 games in a row.
And we've got enough weeks left in the year, hey?
Oh, yeah, we've got enough.
It's only June.
Wishful thinking.
Brie and Clint.
I came across this headline of this article that caught my attention.
Right.
And it said,
pros and cons of borrowing from the bank of mum and dad.
Oh, right.
Very relatable.
Especially for me because, I mean, for the past, like, year I've been trying to, like,
see if I could buy a house and I've finally figured out I'm never going to be able to.
But anyway, that's beside the point.
But I had those conversations with my mum and dad.
No, you can buy a house.
Get the exchange rate going.
They send you over some Australian money, it'll be worth more.
Well, we did talk about that and I talked to my mum and dad about, you know,
lending money from them and, you know,
those conversations you have at that point in your life.
Yeah.
And I read in this article that apparently banks in New Zealand
have reported that around 60% of first home applicants
have some sort of help from the bank of mum and dad.
Over half.
Over half.
That makes a lot of sense because really,
how are you supposed to do it without your parents?
And if you're lucky enough that your parents are in a position like that,
like, you know.
Yeah, not everybody is.
Not everybody's parents are.
No.
But I mean, that's the way that houses work too.
So say you're trying to buy in a big city like Auckland or Wellington
and your parents own a house there.
They probably, and they've had it for 30 years.
It's probably paid off.
What's it called?
Equity.
Yeah.
Yes, I knew.
Did you see that?
Yeah, well done.
I knew that word.
Yeah, and not to do boring money chat,
but they can use some of the equity in that house.
Like collateral damage.
Yeah, to buy your house.
They don't actually have to go and get $100,000.
They just go secure some of your house against our house,
but then there's a new $100,000 mortgage on their house.
Nope, you're going too far.
Yeah, right, sorry.
Essentially, they're lending you $100,000.
They just don't actually have to find that.
Give you it physically.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Right, got it. Because can you imagine if they gave you $100,000, they just don't actually have to find that. Give you it physically. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Right, got it.
Because can you imagine
if they gave you $100,000 physically?
I can't picture anyone
who has $100,000 to just go here.
You would go,
no, I'll just use,
I mean, I'll use 95 for the house.
Yeah, I'll just get myself some new clothes.
I'll just have a night out.
I'll just have one big night out.
I deserve it.
I've done a lot of hard house hunting.
I could not be trusted with that money, eh?
Have you ever done this?
Like in your family, has your parents,
and I'm not saying for a house,
because that's like obviously a big deal.
Has your parents ever lent you like a large sum?
They lent Lucy and I some money when we bought the house.
Oh, so they did?
Yeah, because we bought it at an auction.
And so if you buy, this is what you don't realise, because you don't
know any of this stuff until you buy a house.
When we bought the house, if you buy it on the night,
you have to transfer
10% of the cost of the house
to the owner of the
house that night. Like, you have
to open your banking app. How the hell is no one telling you
that? By the next morning. You have to do it by the next morning.
It's like getting someone out on bail.
Where are you meant to get that money from? Exactly
right. So I had to... So wait,
your parents... I call my parents and I go, hey, good
news and bad news. Good news,
we're about to become homeowners.
Yay. Bad news, I need
a lot of money and I need it fast. Right now,
transfer it to me. I don't care
if you've got those limits on your account,
mum, take them off. We were going to get
the money out of KiwiSaver.
That's how we bought our house.
Right.
But that doesn't happen straight away.
So I borrowed some money off them,
but I paid them back basically straight away.
What's straight away?
A couple of weeks.
Oh, yeah, that's not too bad.
Yeah.
And they knew you were good for it, right?
Well, they knew where I lived.
I was going to say they do now.
But I feel like I'd like to know from people if this is like a super common thing.
Like it doesn't have to be for a house.
No.
Are people borrowing like big sums of money from their parents?
Yeah, they definitely are.
And what's it for?
Like I want to know, like if I called my mum and dad up,
I'd have to have a pretty good reason if I was asking them for 10 grand.
If you wanted to borrow
like $5,000 for a car
to get to work, if your
parents were in a position to help you,
they'd probably help you. But if you wanted
to borrow $50,000
for a new car,
then probably not. There's absolutely
no way. But maybe they would.
Maybe your parents'
financial pushovers.
Yeah, I might just text my mum and ask her.
You know, maybe they're just super keen to help out.
Also, maybe you guys, maybe you're in a couple
and you borrowed money off your partner's parents.
Oh, see, that.
Because that can create an incredibly interesting dynamic
in your relationship.
Did you borrow money from their parents?
Yeah, as a couple.
Yeah, that makes it all good.
Because you're part of the family now.
Yeah, yeah.
But what happened?
What's the situation?
How does that work?
Yeah, we'd love to hear about that.
Oh, my God, the phones are going ballistic.
You can also text us on 9696.
How much money did you borrow from your parents?
Yeah, and what's the interest rate?
And did it end badly?
Yeah.
And did they call Baycorp on you?
Bree and Clint.
Have you borrowed money from the bank of mummy and daddy?
It's turning out to be an incredibly common thing,
which I knew it would be.
It's kind of a private bank, but, you know,
applies to a lot of people.
You revealed that one of the big banks,
I think ANZ have said that 60% of new homebuyers now
are getting some sort of financial help
to get their house from their parents.
Yeah, so I found this quite interesting
and there's a number of ways you can get it.
You can get it as an equity.
They can literally gift it to you.
Yeah.
And then there's also like-
Which I'm pretty sure is tax-
No, it is.
It's tax-free.
It is, yes.
Yeah.
Because they've already paid the tax on it.
Yeah.
We're getting very far into it.
All we want to know is,
have you borrowed money from your mum and dad?
I love getting into this stuff.
Where'd you get your money from?
And that's how we know you're 33.
Let's talk to Nellie first.
Hi, Nellie.
Hi, Nellie.
Hi.
Did you borrow some money off your parents?
Oh, sure did.
Oh, how much, Nellie?
About $150,000.
Oh, whoa, Nellie.
But the problem was, we also went to an auction And they came along for a look as well
And we weren't going to buy the house
But then my partner decided he wanted it
Oh, no
And he's from Germany, didn't quite know the auction rules
And we bought it
And then we had to turn around and say
Oh, hope your checkbook's in the car Because we've got no money We didn't even have a mortgage and we bought it, and then we had to turn around and say,
oh, hope your checkbook's in the car because we've got no money.
We didn't even have a mortgage.
Oh, my God. You hadn't done any of the paperwork to purchase the house.
Nothing.
Your German husband just went in and said, I want that one.
What is he doing?
Does he think he can just go down to the Ferrari shop
and buy whatever he wants?
So did your parents write you a $150,000 check at the auction?
Oh, my God.
They probably didn't have that in their bank account either.
No, but because checks
take so long to process.
I wish we had checks these days. They would have had
five days to
get the money into the account.
Luckily, I used to work at the bank
and I knew someone who could put my
mortgage application through quite quickly.
Yeah, right. Oh, lucky Ellie.
But they literally spotted you 150 grand.
Yeah.
They must love you.
They knew we were a good bet.
And they knew where you were going to live because they were at the auction, right?
Someone on the text machine said,
we borrowed $250,000 off our parents for our new house.
Amazing.
Isn't that incredible?
Just imagine giving someone $250,000.
Well, you're not giving.
You're loaning.
Yeah, well, sometimes you're loaning sometimes.
Yeah, and when it's family, sometimes it ends up being giving.
Also, I always imagine how awkward it would be if your kid was a bit slack
and you're like, hey, I need some of that $250,000 back.
Yeah.
Remember that time I gave you $250,000?
Kim, hi.
Hi, Kim.
Hi.
Did you borrow money off your parents?
Yes, I sure did.
Oh, what was it for, Kim?
It was for the college fees and the reason officer wanted me to put in 15 grand
as
security
when they would give me
a thousand back
every month. So it was one of the
conditions. Is it for a visa
for you to come and live here
in New Zealand? Yeah.
So it was one of the conditions on my student visa
so they would grant me the visa only
if I... Like collateral damage kind of thing. Yeah.
Like an insurance policy. Yeah. Wow.
That's interesting. I didn't know that they did that, Kim.
Like, do your parents, like, obviously
they helped you out. Do they...
Are they well off or not really?
Yeah, they are. So it was
basically me and my partner who we borrowed
half and half from each of our parents.
So yeah, my parents,
both of our parents definitely can afford it.
That's the reason they help.
So did you bother paying them back then?
Yeah, so we've paid
some chunk of it back, but now we're
saving up for the next visa
because that involves huge cost
again. So once we are done with that, we'll
start paying them off. They wouldn't even remember the other bit.
Don't even worry about it.
Thanks, Kim. That's really interesting.
We're getting lots and lots of
messages from
young people and couples who have
borrowed off their parents, in particular
to buy houses. Yeah, and lots of
people, there's a few people borrowing
money to buy cars. There's a few
people borrowing money, a lot
for college and uni fees too.
This story, though, is from a slightly different angle.
Yvonne, hi.
Hi, how are you?
Yvonne, what happened?
Who did you borrow money from?
Was it you?
No.
My partner and I, we split up for about two weeks
and we had a bit of money.
And he, behind my back, gave his daughter firstly $20,000
of our joint bonus bond.
No!
Yeah.
And then 50-something thousand for a deposit on a house.
Wait, and that, wait, wait Yvonne, that was your joint money?
Yep, that was our joint money.
Yeah.
And was it his daughter from a previous relationship?
Yes, it was his daughter from his first wife.
Okay.
Okay.
So they went out and bought this house and they did it all behind my back
without me even knowing and I had no idea about the bonus bomb.
We're still in a court battle now and I'm the greedy one.
And you haven't got your money back yet?
Not yet.
Oh. So he did this while you guys were on
a two week relationship break. Did that
become a permanent relationship break after
that? Well we split up for
two weeks, we got back together and then we
split up again in October. Was it because of
this? It was
part of it, that was part of it but
no, it wasn't because of that.
Well run Yvonne. I say this shows
a lot of character. Run.
And get your money before
you take off. Yeah, I think she's trying.
Wow. Alright. God, people are
so sneaky. Yeah, thanks for giving us
an insight into the bank of mum and dad, everybody.
That was fascinating.
Bree and Clint.
It's my birthday. It's my birthday.
Bree and Clint's birthday banger.
Did you read that text on the top of the text machine?
No.
We're just talking about people borrowing money from the bank of mum and dad
and someone texts through and they said,
me and the missus borrowed a cool million to help buy a house and land.
We subdivided it into 11 sections and something that I don't understand.
Obviously, they made lots of money on it.
They get 50% of the sales and we're paying it back at 4%.
Anyone who borrows a million always refers to it as a cool million as well.
Yeah, like it's no big deal.
That's impressive.
Whose parents have got a million dollars to lend you?
I know.
That's crazy.
But, hey, good for you guys.
Good for you guys.
Well, it's time to get into Birthday Banger.
This is where we take your guys' birthdays
and we'll figure out what was number one on your 16th.
First up is Tim.
G'day, Tom.
G'day, Timmy.
G'day.
What's your birthday, Tim?
6th of January, 1999.
All right.
You were 16 in 2015 on the 6th of January.
And, Timmy, this is your birthday banger.
Who was this one about?
Harry Styles.
Is it?
They were all about Harry Styles.
Were they all?
On this album.
Yeah, right.
I knew Out of the Woods was about him, but.
Also, the one where she's like, never go out of style. That was about him. Yeah, style. I knew Out of the Woods was about him, but... Also, the one where she's like, never go out of style, that was about him.
Yeah, style.
Yes.
Tim, that's your birthday banger.
Do you love Taylor Swift?
Oh, not really, but yeah.
Fair enough, Tim, fair enough.
It's all right, you can't please everybody.
Dakota.
Hi, Dakota.
Hi, Dakota.
Hi.
Great name, first of all.
I was just going to say, I love your name.
Oh, thank you. You must get that all the time. Hi. Great name, first of all. I was just going to say, I love your name. Oh, thank you.
You must get that all the time.
Sometimes.
Most of the time I get, where's your name from?
And I don't actually know.
So I asked my dad where it was from.
He said it actually means friend.
Oh, okay.
Oh, that's cute.
I like that.
So friend, yes.
Okay, friend, let's do your birthday banger.
What's your birthday? 11th of April, yes. Okay, friend, let's do your birthday banger. What's your birthday?
11th of April, 1998.
All right, you were 16 in 2014 on the 11th of April.
And in 2014, this went to number one.
When I am with you, there's no place I rest.
An uplifting banger.
What?
Frickin' banger.
Frickin' banger. Love this, Dakota. Do you love it? Yeah, fricking banger. Fricking banger.
Love this, Dakota.
Do you love it?
Yeah, it's a goodie.
Clean Bandit with Jess Glynn.
Before we really knew much about Jess Glynn as well.
Yeah, this is before.
Like, she was kind of just featuring.
She's got such a cool voice.
I love her too.
Okay, Dakota, wait there.
We've got to do one more for Lani.
Hi, Lani.
Hi, Lani.
Hi, how are you going?
Good, thanks.
How are you, mate?
Good.
That's good.
Let's do your birthday b and what's your birthday?
12th of Feb, 1980.
All right.
You were 16 in 1996 on the 12th of Feb.
And in the mid-90s, this had a number one hit.
How bizarre.
How bizarre.
How bizarre.
The Otara Millionaires Club.
How bizarre.
Do you remember this song, first of all, Arnie?
I do, I do, yeah.
Yeah, it was iconic.
This song here is the original Royals
because it went to number one, I think, in the States,
definitely in the UK, and I think maybe in the States as well,
which was huge for a New Zealand song.
It definitely was big back in Aussie
because I know this song really well,
but I only learnt that it was from a Kiwi band
like a couple of years ago.
Yeah, OMC, R.I.P.
Wait there, Lani, that's a great birthday banger.
We've got Three, we've got Blank Space,
we've got Rather Be and we've got How Bizarre.
I felt it straight away.
My vote is going to have to be for Clean Bandit.
Yeah, I think you're right.
Jess Flynn.
It's got the right vibe.
Yeah, and it's not even that old,
but it feels like ages since we've heard it, right?
Yeah, I agree.
Dakota, congratulations.
You've won birthday banger today.
Yes, girl.
Get it in ya.
Bree and Clint, here it is, ZM.
ZM. We're a thousand miles from comfort
We have traveled land and sea
But as long as you are with me
There's no place I'd rather be
I would wait forever
Exalted in the sea. As long as I am with you, my heart continues to beat. With every step we take, Kyoto to the bay, strolling so casually. We're different. A little hurt you can't shame me When I am with you There's no place I'd rather be
No, no, no
No place I'd rather be
No, no, no
No place I'd rather be

We set out on a mission
To find our inner peace
Make it everlasting
So nothing's incomplete
It's easy being with you
Sacred simplicity
As long as we're together you sacred simplicity as long
as we're together
there's no place
I'd rather be
we're
every step away
Kyoto to play strolling

If you gave me a chance, I would take it
It's a shot in the dark, but I'll make it
No, it's only to hurt you
Can't shame me when I am with you
There's no place I'd rather be
No, no, no, no No place I'd rather be No place I'd rather be

Know it's a little, you can't shame me
When I am with you, there's no place I'd rather be
No place I'd rather be
No place I'd rather be
No place I'd rather be
Say it loud and clear, there's no place I'd rather be Zed and Brian Clayton, that is an uplifting banger from Clean Bander and Jess Glynn.
I always think that when I look at cheese.
What?
When I'm with you, there's no place I'd rather be.
I really do, though.
Really, you're just so happy.
Something just makes you so happy.
Yeah, and that's cheese for you.
No, it's other things as well, but cheese doesn't get...
Is your partner listening?
This was a tune, too, wasn't it?
If we had to go back into isolation...
Yeah.
And you had to choose between...
Oh, don't do that.
No, don't.
You had to choose between cheese and your partner.
Which one would you choose?
My partner. And it was you choose? My partner.
And it was going to be for six weeks.
My partner.
It was a harder decision
but we got there.
Eight weeks.
No comment.
So obviously Clint
you and I do this job
We're here in a radio studio
And some people might not realise
That we've got a text message machine
Which you can text us
If you're listening to the show
You can text us on 9696
I don't know if you saw this text
That was sent a couple of nights ago
But I noticed it
Stuck out to me
And it was something that someone Had observed about you a couple of nights ago, but I noticed it, stuck out to me,
and it was something that someone had observed about you.
Okay.
No, I don't recall what you're talking about whatsoever.
This is the text message we received here at ZM.
Does anyone else think Clint's laugh sounds like Dr Hibbert's from The Simpsons?
And if you don't know who I'm talking about, you know Dr. Hebbet.
No way.
A person on morphine all the time would constantly dissolve
in inappropriate laughter.
You know Dr. Hebbet.
Everyone knows Dr. Hebbet.
And I thought...
At least it's the good doctor on The Simpsons.
What, Dr. Nick?
Not Dr. Nick.
Hi, everybody.
Well, you sound like him too.
I thought, yes, I kind of can see what they're talking about,
but I thought, you know what, we need to investigate.
A silky smooth black man's voice.
No, they're saying his laugh.
Okay, all right, yeah, yeah.
Now, we've grabbed a piece of audio just of your laugh on its own.
Right.
So this is what your laugh on its own sounds like.
And now what we've done, I've grabbed a piece of audio from the show
because I think you need to hear it in like a conversation.
In context, yeah, right.
To see if it sounds like Dr Nick.
So there's a little piece from the show that we grabbed.
Wait, Dr Nick or Dr Hibbert?
I mean, sorry, Dr Hibbert. I'm getting confused. I believe
you can hear some Dr. Hibbert in your laugh if you listen to this piece
from our show. Karen, good afternoon. Hello.
Would you like to speak to our manager?
I'd just like to put it out there. I do not have
a bobcat because, come on, that's pretty bad.
Can we just chuck in her name, Susan or Tracy?
Susan's always in everyone's business.
A Tiffany?
No, not Tiffany.
It's pretty bad when your own kids take the mickey out of you,
you know, with the memes that are coming in.
They're like, respect the drip, Carol.
Stitch up.
I can hear what they're saying. Stitch up. I can hear what they're saying.
Stitch up.
No, can you hear it?
No, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, I can hear it, yeah.
No, damn it, no!
Brie and Clint.
This is quite important, Brie.
No joking around for a second
because I've got breaking pig news.
This is scary stuff, isn't it? This is scary stuff.
There is a pig on the loose in North East Valley in Dunedin.
Residents of North East Valley and Normanby have reported seeing a pig wandering the streets and parks at night time.
No, the little piggy went to town.
It's not a...
No, the little piggy went to the Northeast Valley.
Oh, my gosh.
And it's quite a big piggy, to be honest with you.
And how big's the piggy?
About the size of a Labrador.
That's a pretty decent pig.
Yeah, we're not talking babe pig in the city here.
We're talking full-size wild pig trotting around the burbs in Dunedin.
Wait, I want to know, is it a farm pig or a wild pig?
Wild pig.
Well, actually, hard to tell because there's only grainy,
it's like Sasquatch footage that people have got.
It's nighttime.
It's lots of poor quality phone footage of the pig.
But from what I can tell, it's a wild pig.
Because a wild pig, if you've never seen one,
they're crazy.
Yeah, like a boar.
Like so aggressive, yeah.
And they have tusks and they grunt at you.
Yeah, well, everybody calm down, okay?
There's been no reports of this pig being aggressive so far.
Well, we need to talk to someone on the ground
that's there that knows this information.
One step ahead of you, as always, Bree.
Today, before the show,
I organised to have producer Ben fly down to Dunedin.
Oh, is that what those flights were for?
Yeah, to report live on the case.
So actually, if we cross to him now, he is in North East Valley in Dunedin.
Come in, Producer Ben.
G'day, guys. Can you hear me?
The reception is a little bit tricky here.
Okay, whereabouts are you in Dunedin as we speak?
I've gone into the valley.
Okay.
And there's a few locals here I've been chatting to.
We're on our way.
I'm so tired.
We're on our way up to the top of the hill now where they have actually seen the pig.
Yeah, right.
Is there a pig hunt?
You're on a pig hunt.
Yeah, sort of.
We're not sure though.
Have you seen the pig specifically?
Any sightings of the pig yet?
No, no one's seen it today.
Yeah.
But they're saying it could be up on the top of this ridge here where I'm almost here.
Look, Ross is saying that it's going to be absolutely worthless sending you all the way to Dunedin unless you see this pig.
Yeah, we need a pig sighting.
Yeah, we need a pig sighting.
And we need it now. Can you just do a bit of a spin?
360 for us.
What? Huh?
Oh, it's guys.
It's here.
I've seen it.
Whoa.
It's guys.
It sounds like, wow, it sounds like Ben has found, oh no, we've lost him.
Sounds like Ben encountered the Dunedin wild pig.
Wow.
All right, we're going to have to go to a song.
That was so not believable.
That's so worth it.
