Hello everybody and welcome to the Brie and Clint podcast. We've got Brie on the podcast today. Hey Brie. Hi Brie. No, I'm not a part of this. Why? Why not? Because I hate all of you.

You know what's going to happen? If she's blowing the hell up. She's blowing the fuck up. And I love her.

And then when I get back, you guys will be like, oh, we're just going to go over to Benny's house and hang out. And I'll be like, cool, catch you later. I hate myself.

Perfect. No, no. No. Okay, well, we've got to go. Some of us have got real work to do, okay? So enjoy Fiji. Go eat a dick. This is the podcast, everybody.

Have a great weekend. Bye. Bye. Bye. Kia ora, Aotearoa. Hey, don't laugh at me. No, we went. I might have done my big kia ora without turning my microphone on.

But because I'm a broadcasting professional, they were seamless for the people listening. They didn't even know. I just went and I just replayed my kia ora. Yeah, yeah, yeah. There wasn't a huge gap beforehand or anything. It was fine. You came right in on cue there, Clint.

Shut up, Ellie. Excuse me, mate. You're meant to be helping me, okay? I thought you did great and everyone loved it, mate. All right, Ben, you suck up. Best producer on this show. This is the Bree and Clint show. We've been Bree free for five days now.

She's on Celebrity Treasure Island. I have messaged her to try and get her on the show today. Oh, yeah. At the same time, she hasn't messaged back, so I know she's busy. I think it might be a good thing if she doesn't message back because I'm not sure she'd be, like, all that stoked that today on the show we're talking to Benny without her.

Yeah, gosh. She loves Benny. I love Benny. We all love Benny. We all love Benny. And she's going to be on the show today just after 5 o'clock, 5.15. And she's going to take Bree's place in the one second song challenge. So it's like we've replaced her all together.

And to be honest, if we're paying per letter and we have to redo the billboards, Benny is not that far away from Bree. It's not, is it? Like if we had to, if marketing had to find a way to make that thing work. One letter difference, basically.

Not that that's what I want, Bree. Not that that's what I want. No, no, no. But she will be here at five o'clock. Also, we've moved the Rebel Bakehouse cricket rap raps, cricket rap raps, cricket rap raps, quick, quick, quick,clock. Also, we've moved the Rebel Bakehouse cricket rap raps. Cricket rap raps. Cricket rap raps. It's now at five

o'clock as well. So, we had an issue yesterday with a cheater. Oh yeah, they googled the lyrics. Hey, don't say how they cheated. Everyone else is going to die. Sorry. Today's show... Today's show is brought to you by the letter H for Honesty.

Okay? If you are competing in any of our competitions today, you need to be Honest. Honest, yes. I gave them the money yesterday. If I think you're cheating today, I will not hesitate to take the money away from you. Yeah.

Okay. But $400 at 5 o'clock if you can finish our rap song. It's a good one today too. It's good. Next on the show we need to talk social media influencers. Have they gone too far?

How far is too far? Is an influencer wedding an okay thing to do? A few more Friday jams though before we get new Sam Walker in a minute as well. This is Avril Lavigne, Bree and Clint,

ZM. ZM's Bree and Clint, the podcast. Bree's on Celebrity Treasure Island producer Ellie is here and you want to talk have influences gone too far I do

I just want to have a chat about it it's just an interesting thing of our time at the moment basically this couple who are both influencers they have got engaged

but of course they've put it all over social media and it was basically like a scavenger hunt over a series of days where she flew from country to country and at the end all over social media and it was basically like a scavenger hunt over a series of days where she flew from country to country and at the end the ring was there and it was beautiful

but everyone's hitting them up because apparently before they went he was actually hitting up brands to collaborate with them to basically have a sponsored proposal. Oh God, that word collaborate. Yeah. So everyone's giving them a bit of stick

because they think that all of it was paid for by the brand. So even their followers, their followers think it's fake? Yeah, the fans are going crazy saying, no, you can't sponsor this kind of stuff. That's the problem, eh? Yeah. I don't actually have a problem with influencer stuff so long as it looks real.

Yes, organic. And I don't think anybody does. No. I think if you follow Bowdoin Barrett and you love rugby, you probably genuinely do want to know what sort of boots he wears. Totally. Because he's fast. Yep, exactly right.

But when you can see through it, yeah. Yeah, as long as you're collaborating with brands that represent you and your values, then that's okay. Have you ever done any Instagram influencing? I think I've done one post. What was it for? Oh, it was for an energy drink once, just on the one. Yeah.

And yeah. And do you drink that energy drink? I actually do drink that energy drink, yeah. But yeah, I haven't actually done much influencing. Right. Maybe no one cares about what I want to do. Devo. But yeah, it's just interesting because I think this is going to happen more and more, isn't it?

Yeah. It's totally going to become a thing. Well, it's got to find its balance. Yeah, it really does. I've done quite a bit of it. Yeah. And it only works if you're actually talking about real things. Exactly, yeah.

I know. And I can see why people do it. The money is, be honest with you, you get paid really good money to do that stuff. No, totally. I did Instagram influencing for a door lock once. Yeah, no, I saw that one. Yeah.

But it's a bloody good door lock. There you go. Like I'm not getting paid anymore to say it, so I'm not going to say what it is. Yeah, you genuinely wanted that product. Yeah. It's a good door lock. Exactly.

But I find when you're monetizing something as personal and romantic as that, that's where I kind of go, oh. As a girl, I think personally I would rather have that to myself with my partner. So personal big life moment, baby's arriving any day soon, my baby. Yeah. Oh, yeah. I suppose if you had-

Would you cringe if I did a post from the birthing suite sponsored by a nappy company? And the first post I did of my new baby was so happy to meet our new arrival who has the driest of bottoms. I think I would punch you in the face.

And one day I would thank you for that. Okay, no worries. I've got your back. Brie and Clint, the podcast. ZM. Our satellite is made of metal.

Hers is made from coconut husk. Joining us all the way from Fiji, it's Brie Thomasel. Hi, Brie. Hello, mate. Come in, come in. Can you hear me? Back to base.

Bula bula. How's Celebrity Treasure Island, my friend? Mate, the weather has set in today. Torrential rain. Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that. If my hair wasn't already dealing with enough. Does that push the humidity up a bit, does it? I saw your thing.

You're looking very frizzy chic at the moment. Oh, mate. You know those Pantene Pro V commercials where they give you a conditioner that gets your hair under control? You're like the before shot. Okay, mate. All right.

Are you having fun? Are you happy over there? Are you enjoying yourself? I am. I'm having a very good time, but I think I said to someone the other day that I miss radio quite a lot. Right.

I just need to make sure you're in a positive headspace before we break you a little bit of news today. So we'll just go back to that. You are happy, yeah? You're happy at the moment? I am. I'm having a good time. Good.

Use that as a cushion. I'm going to bring in the nicest person on the show to break the bad news, producer Ellie. Oh, hi. Hi, Bree. Oh, great. This is going to be bad. Tell Bree who – let's not use the word replaced, Bree,

but let's just say who's our special guest today on the show? Bree, I'm very sorry, but today we've actually got Benny on the show. You know Benny. I told you guys, I told you, the one person that I want to meet and get to know and interview was her. I know. You bring her in when I'm not bloody there. I am eropable. It's not on purpose that this has happened.

More of a comedic coincidence. I'm so angry. Why don't you send a selfie? I love it. I'm going to get a selfie. This is so cruel. Do you know what this is like? What's that?

Do you know what this is like? Knowing exactly what a kid would want for Christmas and then saying, oh, we're going to get that for you when we ship you away to boarding school and then we're all going to enjoy it. Yeah, it's like we've given the bike you wanted to your brother Aidan. I understand that. But hey, you've got Shane Cameron and Zach Guilford

and you haven't given us any access to them, so fair's fair, right? Yeah, true. They are all mine and I've been getting some good views, trust me. That's Bree, who will not be joining us for the big Benny interview at quarter past five this afternoon.

Live from Fiji. Yeah, bro. Sorry, Bree. ZM Spree and Clint. The podcast. Let's get some spy. Live from Hollywood with our man on the ground, Dean McCarthy.

Spy.co.nz Hey, Dean. Happy Friday, mate. Well, happy Thursday where you are, I guess. Happy Friday, everyone. Yeah, look, I wish it was Friday, but no, one more day of the week for me, Clint. Hey, you've got some news about Emma Stone and quite a bad injury that she's got. A really bad injury. Now, this is kind of like, I don't know whether this is the lamest or funniest way to break a shoulder ever.

Here's what happened, right? So she was in UK. She went to London. She's there to film Cruella, her new film. Goes to the Spice Girl concert, okay, jumps on her friend's shoulders, falls off. They fall down like, I don't know, like

a tower of pizza or something. Fall down, she breaks her shoulder and all of production for Cruella, the new film, has been postponed. So everyone, makeup artists, all the trailers, all the venues, all the extras, all the actors, everyone has to wait two months until Emma Stone has repaired her shoulder. At first, she tried to talk it down because she was like, you know, when you do something

really bad, you don't want everyone to freak out. Well, everyone's now officially freaked out. And yeah, Emma Stone wishing her a speedy recovery, though. Oh, you would feel like the worst person in the world, wouldn't you? Yeah. Especially if you're the friend who dropped her as well, you'd feel pretty bad. You're the one. Yeah.

How does this kind of stuff work? Like, do you know? Do stars have to take out insurance on themselves? Because companies do invest big money into that. Because anyone could do it. Like, Leonardo DiCaprio could break his nose before filming Titanic 2 and everything has to be put on hold. Who foots the bill?

Here's the deal. Yeah. Who foots the bill? Here's the deal. Yeah, who foots the bill? It's something like this. I don't really know, you know, a case like this, but some celebrities have it in their contract that they're not allowed to do certain things. For example, Harrison Ford.

You might remember about two years ago, he crashed his small airplane. He's had like two crashes. He is not allowed to fly a plane during the filming of any movie as per the studio contract. Some celebrities are not allowed to fly a plane during the filming of any movie as per the studio contract. Some celebrities are not allowed to play their favorite sport, you know, like football or just like you said, you know,

playing tennis or whatever. I don't know if they just hit themselves like an accident. I don't know if Spice Girls concerts are in the banned list of to-dos. I'm not sure. I didn't know attending a Spice Girls concert was a high-risk activity, but you learn something new every day. That's right. All right, and so Emma Stone is playing Cruella de Vil in that Cruella movie,

the 101 Dalmatians movie. Is that right? Yeah. Yeah, that's right. And she was, you know, it's a very physical role. She's been rehearsing and practicing and training because she chases around all those beautiful Dalmatians. So everything's on pause until she gets better.

Sending her goodbye. She chases them around and tries to skin them for her coat. Okay, that's Dean McCarthy, our Hollywood correspondent, live from Los Angeles. Bree and Clint, the podcast. ZM. Producer Ben, Producer Ellie, you guys are here. You've been the backbone of the show this week.

It's basically just me. Picture this, just standing in a big glass box, talking to myself. And then I just come to you guys. I'm like, what's going on? Yeah. We've been trying to support you as much what are we talking about um Bree's on Celebrity Treasure Island um Ben said to us yesterday we'll just give the high low a miss tomorrow shall we I did I did say that but I regret saying it now because you brought it up which to me is very insulting is that is no this is the thing. Yeah, go. Is it because there were no high points this week

or because without Bree here, there were no low points? Yeah, the second one. It's the second one. Definitely the second one. Oh, that's rude to Bree, isn't it? Yeah, well, she's not here, so. It was definitely the first. Here's this week's high, low, good or bad.

You enjoy. This is a new day. Hey, guys. Welcome to another week of Bree and Clint's highs and lows, all the high points and the low points of the week. We haven't actually had Bree here this week because she's been filming Celebrity Treasure Island in Fiji, so Clint gave her a call to find out what she's been up to. How many days have they been on that Treasure Island now? They've been on for a couple already,

and things are really starting to kick off. Have any of them hooked up with each other yet? Look, we haven't got that intel yet, but I do have my bets on a few of the celebs. It looked like they were hitting it off on the plane as soon as they met. Spill the tea. Who's hooking up with people? Let's just

say Zach Gilford, former All Black. He's looking he's in good nick. He's in good nick. This week we found out producer Ellie's partner doesn't quite like Wendy's as much as she does. So we asked you, what did you find out about your partner a bit late in the relationship? Hey, Jen. Hey.

What did you find out about your partner? When was your relationship built on a lie? He concealed from me that he had false teeth for four years. Whoa. And one night they went a bit crooked and I thought he was dead teeth for four years. Whoa. In one night, they went a bit crooked, and I thought he was dead when he was sleeping. Hi, Carolyn. Hi, how are you?

I'm all right. When did you find out that your relationship was built on a lie? So I was, I always had a rule that I never, ever actually date a guy that is older than my brother, which was seven years old. After I was dating one of the guys and we actually got married, two years after we got married, I found out that he was actually 10 years older, not seven.

Yeah, you're singing, Happy birthday to you. Yes, I've made him a beautiful cake for his 30th and it turns out that he was actually 33. Clint asked a burning question this week. If Hilary Barry is the mother of New Zealand, then who's the father? First of all, Richie.

Hello. Jim Hickey. Jim Hickey. Yeah. Go to Jacob. Hey, Jacob. G'day, mate. Who's our dad?

Steve Hansen. Richie's father. Hi, Nicole. Hi. It has to be the how to dad guy. Oh, Jordan. Makes sense, doesn't it? Alana's here as well.

Alana, who's our dad? Oh, guys, I'm going controversial. I think you guys are ready for it too. I'm saying two mums, Hilfes and Anika Mower. Yeah. Anika Mower, eh? Who's the sperm donor? We asked her.

Okay, so if you and Hilary are the joint mothers of the nation, who's the sperm donor? Mike Hosking. After a huge response from you, we then asked the next day, who's the auntie and uncle? Anthony's here. Hey, Anthony.

Cool. Who's New Zealand's uncle? Uncle Winnie P. Uncle Winnie P. Yeah, and hi, Tyler. Hey. Who's the uncle of New Zealand? Tyler.

Do you have an auntie for us? We're getting non-stop uncles. Auntie Susie Cato. Oh, of course. That's got to be Susie, right? She's a bit happy. Hey, Lenny. How you doing?

Oh, mate, it's going to be Uncle Bainey, old David Bain. You want David Bain to be the uncle of New Zealand? Yeah, I mean, he's going to be all right at Christmas time.

He'll have his sweatshirts all around. And that wraps up this week's highs and lows of the week. Ellie, did you want to intro this last bit? Are you going to play my parody song again? Yeah, here it is.

Get your past man. It's not that bad, I swear. Get a friend to take you there. It's important to look after your body. It's no afternoon delights. But it could save your life, hey, yeah. Ooh, ooh, ooh, hey, yeah. Hands up if you've had the pap smear song stuck in your head ever since it played.

I have, yeah. I can't even get a pap smear and I feel like a pap smear. All right, that's the high low. Thank you, guys. ZM Spree and Clint, the podcast. Hi, producer Ellie. Hello. I'm here with my psychological cap on today.

Yeah, so you don't know this about Ellie. She has a degree in, is it psychology? Psychology, yeah. And now you've brought us a list of couch positions that say a lot about your relationship. Yes. In your professional opinion, is this an accurate list? Well, there's definitely some truth to it, but I think everything's subjective, isn't it? Sure. Like, you know,

every couple's different. But hey, I'm still going to read this to you. Is it right about your relationship? Ooh, yeah, I'd say so. I'd like to think so. Okay, cool. Listen up if you're in a relationship. Or maybe you're not in one anymore, and you still remember how you and your partner used to sit on the couch.

Yeah, it might make sense as to why you broke up, potentially. Yeah. So in the UK, they've done a study, and they've looked at how people sit on the sofa with their couples. 40% of people like to snuggle up on the sofa

and the 60% prefer their own space. So actually, 60% of people prefer just to be separate on the couch together. Doesn't necessarily mean a bad thing.

No, it just means you've been together for longer than 12 months. Exactly. So different sofas was 37% and generally, that's a long-term relationship

and it doesn't necessarily indicate problems, but just that the couple's grown used to each other over the years. Which is not a bad thing, okay? No, it's fine. It's totally fine. Or you loved up new relationship people who go, oh my God, do you guys hate each other? Do you?

It can also mean that they've become indifferent towards each other. But hey, we'll go with the first thing. Not so good. No, 20% like to lie with one on the legs on the lap. So that's often, I do that quite often. So a bit of contact? Yeah, but the legs are on the lap. And the person with the legs on the lap,

they're the dominating one, apparently. So they dominate the relationship. They're the one in control, the one with the legs on the lap. Oh. Yeah, so it's like, yeah, I'm pinning you down. I always thought just chucking a leg over when you're sitting on the lap. Oh. Yeah, so it's like, yeah, I'm pinning you down. I've always thought just chucking a leg over when you're sitting

on the couch like that is like a real half-assed way of doing intimacy. Yeah, it's like, oh, I'll touch you. Because you're like, oh, I want to get close to you, but not that close.

Yeah, exactly. 16% were at the opposite side of the sofa. They're known as bookends and it's usually what's a representation of what's happening in the relationship.

It usually means I've become a bit detached. If you're bookending each other, but you're both upright and there's a seat between you, that seems a little bit odd. Exactly. Yeah, exactly right. But then in the absence of conflict, sometimes it's just people have grown apart. That's often what that one means. Now we get to the cuddling ones. There's three options. Cuddling in the corner, the person that's spread out and the one that's inside sort of like on them, the one that's spread out has the power in the relationship.

Oh, and the one nestling the head into the bosom. They're literally clinging on as if they're a little bit insecure. No. Apparently. Really? Apparently. Cuddling in the middle. I reckon the lighter one needs to go on the chest.

That's what I thought too. Yeah. I totally know what you mean. And then the next cuddling one is in the middle? I reckon the lighter one needs to go on the chest. That's what I thought too. Yeah. I totally know what you mean. And then the next cuddling one is in the middle. That was only 9%, but apparently this is the most loving position. There's a quality and a real connection, and the main focus of being on the couch is togetherness. So you're both in the middle of the couch.

Yeah, and cuddling. Is that what I'm saying? Yeah, yeah. And your final one, 8% of people in the corner cuddle with tucked legs. Usually the person with the tucked legs is drawing comfort in some way. They're basically in the fetal position. So again, could be an insecurity in the partnership. But that's just one study.

Or you're cold. Or you're cold. Definitely could be that. Right, okay. So there you go. You might be doomed. Or maybe you're not. Or maybe this is all sorts of shit.

Don't break up because of this couch study. Yeah, please don't, please don't. Don't go home and go, babe. Yeah, sorry. But if you're craving a bit of contact, then definitely use this study in your favour. Exactly right. You know, go home and be like,

look, Ellie, the radio psychologist, said we need a spoon. There you go, you're welcome. And we need to spoon there you go you're welcome and we need to turn the heat pump on and take our clothes off what? la la

Bree and Clint the podcast ZM there's a new season of The Bachelor coming out in Australia and we got quite into this last year

remember Honey Badger Nick Cummins the Honey Badger we got quite into the Australian one because of him I think yeah I did yeah since then I think

there's been a couple of Australian bachelorettes and bachelors. There have. Sophie Monk has just done The Bachelorette. Nah, that was ages ago. They're showing replays. Is that replaying? Okay, I'm very not up to date then. Yeah, she was ages ago. Yeah, I thought so. That was weird when I saw the shorts. Anyway, we're talking about The Bachelor. Yeah, new Bachelor.

New Australian Bachelor. Producer Ben's brought this to the table. The guy's fairly impressive. He's not famous, but he's an astrophysicist. Whoa. It's a hot job. Yeah. That means that he is a scientist who explores the galaxy for new life, basically. Whoa.

Yeah. He can't even find love. Yeah. Really impressive for an Australian, too,'t even find love. Yeah, really impressive for an Australian too. Because, you know. I think it'll help them not having someone famous. Yeah. Not having someone like that everyone knows, you know, he's in the limelight. What's his name? Matt Agnew?

I don't know. Oh, I think that's his name. That's his new bachelor's name, is it? Yeah, I think so, yeah. The trailer has just dropped today. And there is a gold bit of audio in it where, you know that awkward bit they do where he stands there

and all the girls have to come through and it's almost like a stand-up routine where they have to do something to impress him? Yeah. I wouldn't be able to handle that pressure. Last time someone came in as a knight, like a full armour of knight and was like, hello.

I was like, whoa. Have a listen to this girl and the crucial mistake that she makes when she meets the new bachelor. Hey, going on, Abby. Hello, Abby.

Matt, lovely to meet you. What do you do? I'm an astrophysicist. Okay, I'm a Gemini. What? I'm a Leo. All the boxes ticked. Can't believe it.

Oh, dear. I'm an astrophysicist. Great. I'm a Gemini. Good. But it's like an icebreaker, right? Yeah, it's a bit of fun. Yeah.

Someone has to be the smart one in a relationship and someone has to be the dumb one. That's true, yeah. Which one icebreaker, right? Yeah, it's a bit of fun. Yeah, I suppose. Yeah. Someone has to be the smart one in a relationship and someone has to be the dumb one. That's true, yeah. Which one are you, Clint? Between you and Lucy, are you the dumb one? Good answer. Very good answer. Answer that quickly, that question.

Answer it quickly. Dumb, real dumb. Stupid dumb. Dumb, stupid. I'm the ugly one. I'm the fat one. I don't know when that comes out, but that Bachelor season looks quite good.

ZM Spree and Clint, the podcast. We're having a bit of fun this week trying to figure out New Zealand's family tree. It all came from this article that said Tom Hanks is the new American dad. He's the father of the nation for Americans. And we already know who our mother of the nation is. It's Hilary Barry.

So we go off, Hilary is the mother of the nation, who's the father. And look, I mean, I think we've settled on the fact that we don't have a dad. I think we have two mums. We are a very progressive country, I think, especially for women's rights, and I think that's good. So I think it's cool.

We've got two mums, Hilary Barry and Anika Moore. So you know there'll always be wine in the house. That's true. Which is good. And yesterday we said, okay, let's go further. Let's go wider. If those are our parents, who's our auntie and uncle?

Like who do we go to in the school holidays? Yeah. Taika Waititi came through, I think, as our strongest contender for uncle. Which is a cool uncle to go visit in LA. Very cool. Rich uncle too. You know he'll buy you good in LA. Very cool. Yeah, rich uncle too. You know he'll buy you good Christmas presents. Yes. Who's our auntie?

Did we get an auntie? Yeah, it was Susie Cato. Oh, of course. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, fantastic. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, she's great. Cool. So family tree wise, that's cool. Going down. Let's go down today. Because I think we've kind of got grandparents too. I think we've kind of got grandparents too

I think we There's lots of contenders for grandparents Yeah But we've had lots of submission on that We haven't talked about our siblings No So as a nation Who's our brother and who's our sister?

Who's the nation's brother? And who's the nation's sister? Do you guys have any ideas? I've got two I've got an idea for a sister and a brother Great, okay So for the sister All in one

No, they're separate people Okay, cool The sister would be the know-it-all high achiever Jacinda Ardern Oh, okay You think she's young enough to be our sister? Yeah, I think she is Yeah?

Yeah You don't? Well You're not sure No, I want to hear you out Okay, that's cool Then the brother would be the creative yet awkward Brett McKenzie Yeah, that's good

I like that From Flight of the Conchords. You've got old siblings, bro. It's true. They're both late 30s and you're mid 20s. Yeah. But that happens. That happens.

That's true. What have you got, Ellie? I was going to say our sister is Lorde. She's like the cool Lorde, the girl that just did everything. She's amazing. Annoying, though, to have such a successful sister. I know, right? And then I reckon our brother.

I know Lorde. I actually know Lorde's sister. So do I actually. I've met her. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Lovely. Yeah.

Oh, which sister do you know? Indy. Oh, Indy. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, that's cool. Yeah. There you go.

And my brother, I think would have to be KJ Apa. See, this is the problem you've got here too. You've gone, not only have you gone very successful, you've gone very hot Very attractive

I know I feel a bit awkward About that now Do you want all your mates Hitting on your brother Actually no I want to withdraw that You know

Because then you're questioning Are you friends with me Just to get to my brother That's a good point Yeah Yeah that's a good point But he totally fits the bill He does

Like he is Quintessentially Kiwi Yeah He's got some sick tats. He's representing New Zealand very, very well on the world stage. And he's a down-to-earth guy. He is. Exactly right. So he would make a great brother.

The only problem is he's very hot. Too hot. What about you, Clint? What do you reckon? I had Lorde down as well as a sister. Yeah, I thought you would. Eliza McCartney I think would make a good sister. That's a good one. That's great. Yeah, I like you would. Eliza McCartney, I think, would make a good sister. That's a good one. That's great.

Yeah, I like that. Younger sister for a lot of people. Julian Dennison. Oh, yeah. You said that. Would make a good younger brother. Yeah, I like that. I like that.

And I don't want to say everyone that's on my list. No. Because I don't want to influence everybody. Exactly. I want to throw this out again because we can't choose on our own. We're doing this. We are publishing New Zealand's family tree, but we need your input on it. So today's question is,

who's our brother and who's our sister? If Hilary Barry is the mother of the nation and Anika Moore is the co-mother and our auntie and uncle are Taika Waititi and Susie Kato, who is our brother and sister? Okay? Yeah, cool. 0800 dial ZM.

9696 in the text. Best suggestion, as always with this, is going to win some free mobile fuel. It is a fill up Friday today as well. It is. So we'll dole that out. What do you got for us? Let us know who our brother and our sister is.

ZM. Bree and Clint. The podcast. ZM. Let's finish our family tree. Let's finish tracing our whakapapa and figure out who our brother and our sister is. If Hilary Barry is the mother of the nation,

who's our brother and who's our sister? Lots of submissions coming through on this. People are passionate about it, which is great. And we are going to publish our family tree. Just so you know, right? It's important to know who your family is. So let's start with a submission from Ashley. Hi, Ashley.

Hey, how's it going? What have you got? Have you got a brother or a sister for us? I've got both. I don't know how they'd fare in the same family, but I've got a theme of singers. Yeah, good. I reckon brother Stan Walker and then maybe sister Lord.

Yeah, very, very talented family. Stan's good. Yeah, Stan's good. Awkward at Christmas when everybody's getting around the guitar and they're singing. And you're like, oh, man. I don't know this one. I'll sit out.

Far out. They're like, here's a new original from me. I was going to say Stan, but I wanted someone else to say it first. Yeah. But there we go. He makes a very, very good brother. I think Stan Walker and Lorde is going to be hard to beat. So wait there.

Jamie, hi. Hey, I've got actually two, very good brother. I think Stan Walker and Lorde is going to be hard to beat, so wait there. Jamie, hi. Hey, I've got actually two choices for a brother. Yeah. And I've just thought of another one for a sister, but I'll go with the brothers first. Okay, and we can have more than one brother. We can't, yeah. Yeah, we can have more than one in this category.

What have you got? I've got William Cripps. Okay, William Wairua. Willie Wairua. There he is. Yeah. The next one is Israel Adesanya. Oh, UFC?

Yeah. Stylebender. Yes, that's the one. Very modern choice. And also, very dangerous brother to get in a fight with. Exactly. He's your backup. He's your backup for sure,

but you don't want to have a disagreement with him. He's a cage fighter. Cool. What have you got for a sister contender? I've got Hayley Holt. Yeah. And the other one I just thought of, our adopted sister, Brie Thomas-Elf.

That's good. That's great. Our sister that we sent to boarding school in Australia because she was a bit too much to handle. Yeah. I don't mind that at all. I think that's quite good. Cody's here.

Hey, Cody. Hey, how's it going? Good, man. Who's our brother? Who's our sister for the nation? This is the nation's brother and the nation's sister. I would have picked,

for the brother, I'd pick Richie McCaw to be like our older, sporty, successful brother. Yeah. Yeah. Annoyingly successful. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

But also you can't hate him because he's such a good guy. Yeah. Yeah, big role model. Yeah. Andoyingly successful. Yeah. But also you can't hate him because he's such a good guy. Yeah. Big role model. Yeah. And for the sister, I would pick Lorde. She'd be like the unplanned but favourite of everybody's. Yeah.

Why is she unplanned? Well, she's much younger. Oh, I see. I've got a sister that is 10 years younger than me and my parents my parents always say yeah we were just

having a break we're always we're always meant to have her yeah same here oh you do as well yeah cool

I don't think we can go past Lorde as our sister no I think she's got it and Cody I'd be keen on your thoughts on this there are some other suggestions we said Eliza McCartney

before Keisha Castle-Hughes as the nation's sister. Yeah. Oh yeah? Yeah. Matilda from The Bachelor. Maybe a cousin. Maybe a cousin.

Kim Crosman's in there. Ursula Carlson should be our sister. I love Ursula. How is one of our sisters South African? Not good. None of us have got an accent and then

we've got this one South African sister. Cool. Okay, Cody, wait there. We've got some mobile fuel for you. Congratulations. Cheers. Thank you so much. Alright, no problems. This is coming out. None of these are finalised by the way. None of these are finalised. It's going to be bloody hard to go past Lorde it is

but we'll publish New Zealand's Family Tree hopefully early next week just good to know who your family is oh just quickly on the brothers Max Key came through

strongly your naughty brother Peter Burlings good one Julian Dennison James Rolleston from Boy we're going to have

to have a big family tree yeah we've got a huge family we're going to have lots of brothers we forgot about Rhys Darby. Yeah. Oh, yeah.

All right. ZM Spree and Clint, the podcast. Breaking news. Now, it's quite regionally specific breaking news, so we cross to our Auckland North Shore reporter, Ellie Harwood. Good afternoon. Good afternoon. Thank you for having me.

Yeah, now there's been a bit of an update here. In my very, very wealthy area that I live in, not that I'm wealthy, but I rent, there's been a bit of an incident that we don't really see often in this area. There's a news report actually out. Okay. In this update, residents in Auckland's Browns Bay got a shock today when they saw a naked man running through the suburb yelling, I'm free, I'm alive, I am the God.

Witnesses say the man also made strange gestures towards them. He was also seen doing odd exercises and going in and out of bushes. Police were called and the naked man was taken away. That's news. Oh, dear. Oh's news. Oh dear. Oh dear. Oh dear. So Bruins Bay on Auckland's North Shore has a naked

man. Do we know if he's from the area or if he went there specifically? Yeah, we don't know that. We don't actually know a lot of information. No one really knows why, but people were a bit shocked because it's quite a nice area by the beach where a lot of retirees are. It's quite quiet generally.

So seeing a naked man running through there yelling all those things, I mean, very strange. The irony too is he's running around naked yelling, I'm free and then he gets arrested. So there's that part of it as well. Alright, well, thank you for keeping us up to date. You are very welcome.

It's important. Let's see if we can give away some money this afternoon too. God, this has been more controversial than it needed to be. Yesterday we were rocked by a cheating scandal where someone actually Googled the lyrics to the song. So I'm saying that now because I trust everybody on the line. They're just going to run it straight and we're going to do this together, okay? I start a song and if you can finish it, if you can finish the rap lyrics when the crickets come in,

you're going to win $400 and you're going to win some Rebel Bakehouse wraps, okay? The reason we're doing it is they've got a whole range of wraps out. Some of them include cricket flour, which is high in protein, so we're doing the cricket wrap wraps. Easy as that. I haven't even said what the song is today because I don't want anybody to be Googling anything. Good idea, mate. Good idea.

We haven't said song, we haven't said artist. We're just going to go for it. And if you get it, you get it, okay? Emma, you're going to get the first chance at this. Are you nervous? Yeah, I am. Don't be, because what it will do is it will cloud your thoughts. I'm just going to kick it off.

I have learnt my lesson. I won't be giving you long to come in with the lyrics because I've been burnt yesterday, like I said, by a Googler. So good luck. I'm just going to start this. When the crickets start, you finish the lines. You'll know the song at least.

I guarantee that. Okay. Here you go. Good luck. No way. That's okay. That's okay. You did the right thing. You changed it. I'm like, I don't know it. No way. That's okay. That's okay. You did the right thing.

You got started fast. I've got to go quickly before someone Googles it. Hi, Charlene. Hi. Same song for you, girl. Okay, good luck. Watch and put on for my town. Trust me, I'm not.

No good. No good. No good. Let's see if we can go to Hannah. Hi, Hannah. Hi. Hi. Same song for you. You don't sound confident at all.

No, I don't. No. But I want you to just say whatever comes to mind. Here you go. Here you go. around for those pounds, but I do that to pass the torch and put on for my town. Trust me, I'm out. This is the moment, tonight is the night, so let yourself over, put your hands up. You've done a good job. It's the right song, but it's the wrong lyric. Sorry.

Matthew. Hey, Matthew. Hey, Matthew. Hey, Matthew. Hi. Hi. You're going to have to turn that radio down for us, brother, okay? Okay. Okay, here you go. Same thing for you. When the crickets that radio down for us, brother, okay? Okay. Okay, here you go. Same thing for you.

When the crickets come in, I want you to start. Good luck. Yeah, watch and put on for my town. Trust me, I'm a... Double C, Buster, man. Not 100% sure what you said, but I'm glad that you're part of the show today. Thank you for calling. Someone's got to get this. Someone's got to get this.

Someone's got to get this. Someone will get it, mate. Someone will get it. Bishley. Hi, Bishley. Yes. Hi. It's you, isn't it? You're going to get this. I have a feeling, but I'm not sure if I know at all. At this stage, I'll take good enough, so best of luck. Here you go.

I-N-D-E-P-E-N-D-E-N-T. Are we going to take that? I think we're going to take that. Have I got it right? You got it close enough. Oh, okay. I just need some... I can't spell it. I just needed someone to attempt to spell independent.

I did spell it. I thought I spelled independent attempt to spell independent. I did spell it. I thought I spelled independent. Right, we could go back and look at the tape, but who really cares? It's Friday. Look me straight in the eye through the phone and tell me you didn't Google that. No, I'm actually pulled over on the side of the road.

You can't get Google in a car, so I believe you. I've got no data on my phone either. Then I definitely believe you. Bishley, well done got no data on my phone either. Oh, then I definitely believe you. Bishley, well done. You've taken out our final cricket wrap. Yes, thank you so much. You've got $400 and some of the delicious Rebel Bakehouse wraps. Well done.

Oh, thank you so much. They're good for your body and they're good for the planet. Thanks for a fun game, Rebel Bakehouse. ZM Spree and Clint, the podcast. This is very cool because we've been waiting for this for ages and we've just been casually saying that you're already our friend and that you're like a good friend of the show. But now we can confirm it because she's here.

Please welcome to the show, Benny. Hello. Hello. Hello. How are you? Great, thank you. Yeah, good to finally meet you. We are fans.

Right back. Yeah, love the music. Thank you very much. And what an exciting day for you today. Isn't it cool? It's very exciting. So let's tick off the things that are exciting. You've got a free Bluetooth speaker on your Instagram.

Yes, I did. Which is, I mean, that's why you get famous, right? It's actually real good. That's why you get into this business. Yep. Also, I mean, just casual, dropped your EP, Fire on Mars. Yeah, that too. EP?

EP, yeah? EP. Yeah. Uh-huh. That's Mars, by the way. Yeah. M-A-R-Z-Z. Mars.

And also, no big deal, you've sold out the power station in Auckland tonight. That's a bit nuts, eh? Are you nervous? Yep. Why? I don't know. I's a bit nuts, eh? Are you nervous? Yeah. Why? I don't know. I just am very nervous. Yeah?

Yeah. Do you think something's going to go wrong? No. Do you think you're going to say an F word on stage? No, no, no. Nope. No, I'm just nervous. Because there's lots of things that can go wrong.

There are a lot. I don't think about that. Fergie from Black Eyed Peas peed her pants on stage one time. Oh, that could happen. That's a possibility. Yeah, well. I hope that won't. I don't think I'd cry.

I don't think I'd, I'm not nervous about that, though. No. If that happens, it just happens. Okay, well, that's good. Well, don't be nervous, because everybody's really excited to see you, because then that's why it's sold out. I heard today that if you are going, the merch is very limited. Some of them, some so limited that there's only 20 T-shirts been printed.

Yep. Right? Yeah, there are 20 of the rainbow hand ones of me on the car. Yeah. So if you want to make some money off Benny on the side, those are the T-shirts to buy and then inflate the value on Trade Me Later. That's what we were saying, eh?

That's what you do, yeah. And so we've got this on file for later. And when you say it out loud, then it's more likely to happen. Yeah. Who's your dream person that you could collaborate with? And I want you to go big. I want you to think big. Yeah.

Yeah. Who would you like to collaborate with? James Blake. Oh, cool. He's not dead. So that's really like much more achievable. But he is right up there, so. But anyways.

But it's said now. Yeah. Do you want to play a game? Yeah, go. Okay, cool. This is a game called the One Second Song Challenge. Time is waiting. You only get one second of song. No hesitating.

You only got one second of one second. No, you don't have to recognise that song. That's just a song that we made up. Can you hear okay? Yeah, I think so. Is it hard to turn it up? Yeah, you turn it up. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

So what's going to happen is is we're gonna play little bits of songs just one second okay and you're gonna have 20 seconds to name as many as you can okay and then i'm gonna have a go oh i'm so scared yeah i promise i promise i haven't pre-listened to the songs either okay no i haven't i haven't no it hasn't it's like the chaser on that game yeah yeah it is i'm the chaser am i the chaser yeah i game. Yeah. Yeah, it is. He totally knows. I'm the chaser. Am I the chaser? Yeah, I guess you are. I'm the dark destroyer. Okay, I'm going to leave the room out there where it's soundproof.

Harry, you make sure the sound's off so I can't hear anything. I'm going to suck so bad. No, you're not. You got this. And you're going to have a go, and then I'll come back and I'll have a go. Okay. Okay, this is Benny taking on the one second song challenge. Good luck.

All right, Benny, you only have to give me artist or song title. So if you just know the artist, just blurt that out and just go as quick as you can. Okay? So he's going to play one at a time and then just yell it at me. If you don't know the answer, just say pass and we'll move on to the next one. Okay? Sweet as. Okay, Ben, when you're ready, hit it off.

Pass. I don't know who needs to do this. Oh, Rihanna. Nice. Oh, it's just me. Yes. It's me. Oh, yes.

Nice work, Benny. Nice work. It is hard, isn't it? When you only hear one second of each song, it is so hard. How did she go? How did she go? How did she go? She did well. She did well.

You should be very scared. Let's see how Clint goes, eh? We'll see if he does as well. All right, you can pass. I'm quite good at this game. Yeah, all right. He is a quite good bitch. I'm quite good.

Well deserved, my friend. Do you know, I know that this is your day, but I have been waiting for this moment. This is your day now. You have. I've been waiting for it for so long. And you haven't. Oh, my God, can I open for you at your gig tonight?

Oh, God, this is controversial. I know. Great song, Phil Collins, In The Air Tonight. Do you love it? It's all right. Not one of my favourites. That would do. That's not the energy I was looking for.

Yeah. So, a bit of history for you. This song has been played on Birthday Banger before. It has. And it nearly tore the team apart. Yep. I was pro. Yep.

Bree was anti. You were the deciding vote, Ali. I decided, yeah. And you went with In The Air Tonight. I did. Here's the thing, Tones. There's no one here to oppose me today. I literally am like a dictator and I can play whatever I want. Here's the thing, Tones. There's no one here to oppose me today. I literally am like a dictator, and I can play whatever I want. That's true.

Well, if you don't play, I might have to tell Ross Boss. Oh, so now you want to hear it. Do ya. Yeah. If you don't play, I'll ring Ross Boss and tell him. Tony, are you telling me I have to play it? Yeah, you have to play it. Are you taking the power out of my hands?

I am taking the power out of your hands, Clint. Oh, there it is. Well, Tony, you're the listener, so I must obey what you say or something like that. So I think we're playing your birthday banger. There we go. Okay, cool. Damn it. I was really hoping for like a joint triumphant victory

Yeah, like yay Now reset, reset everybody Mental reset, okay This is a good birthday banger It is I want everybody in their cars to bash their steering wheel When the drum solo comes in, okay Here we go

Brian Clint, ZM. Can you feel it coming in the air tonight? Oh Lord, oh Lord Well, if you told me you were drowning I would not end a hand. I've seen your face before, my friend, but I don't know if you know who I am. Well, I was there and I saw what you did. I saw it with my own two eyes. So you could wipe off that grin.

I know where you've been. It's all been a pack of lies. And I can feel it coming in the air tonight Oh Lord I've been waiting for this moment for all my life Oh Lord I can feel it coming in the air tonight Oh Lord I've been waiting for this moment for all my life

Oh Lord Oh Lord I remember, don't worry How could I ever forget It's the first time The last time we ever met But I know the reason why you gave me silence No, you don't believe The hurt doesn't show

But the pain still grows So strange it's you and me the show, but the pain still grows. Some stranger to you and me. I've been waiting for coming in the end of the night. Oh Lord. But I've been waiting for this

moment for all my life. Oh Lord. We'll be right back. Oh, Lord. Oh, Lord. ZM, Brian Clint, that's the winner of Birthday Banger. It's Phil Collins in the air tonight. Slow start, low energy start from our Birthday Banger winner, Tony.

But after that, mate, after hearing it live to air, how are you feeling? No, it was good. I was actually going to fall asleep. Tony! Tony. No, no, no, no.

It was good. I was turning my horn down the freeway and dancing out the window. You're an enigma, Tony. I can't figure you out, mate. I cannot figure you out. Congratulations on winning Birthday Banger today. No worries, Clint.

All right, no problems. Thank you, mate. Hey, thank you, mate. And sorry to all our Bryan Adams fans. To the train spotters out there who have texted and said, Clint, how does a song released in 1981 become a number one hit in 2008? I'll tell you how. Chocolate.

Yeah. Yeah. The ad became the theme song to the Cadbury video. With the gorilla on the drum kit. The song became the theme song, sorry, with the gorilla on the drum kit. And that sent it back to number one. Crazy, eh? That's how it happens.

There you go. ZM Spree and Clint, the podcast. Missing dog alert, everybody. Missing dog alert. There is a sausage dog that is missing

in the king country at the moment. His name is Cooper. Oh. And that is not a joke. This is not a laughing matter. His owners are very desperate to find him. And there is a $2,000

reward that has been posted. That's quite a lot. It is quite a lot, but when an animal is part of the family... Yeah, you can't put a price on that, can you? No, you can't put a price on that. Two grand's a lot, though. I guess you could put a price on it, and they've said two grand. Yeah, I suppose. Good point.

They have resorted to the owners of, well, the parents of this dachshund slash sausage dog have gone to multiple mediums, psychics,

to try and find, kind of like Sensing Murder, I guess, to try and find the sausage dog, which, I guess if you've exhausted

everybody else and everything else, you would. And you just want to know and everything else you would and you just want to know and you you think that's the right thing to do yeah so they've consulted a whole range of mediums but this one is weird because they've gone to one um who is a british-based medium they've paid this medium 150 dollars it's's quite a lot. It's a lot. Well, hang on a minute.

How much did we pay for a psychic for Channing Tatum? That much. We paid $100 US. Yeah, we did. Far out. For her to tell us that Channing Tatum wasn't in the country and that we wouldn't find him. Awesome.

Which technically was true. She was right, yeah. So she's bang on. But also information that even the simplest of person could have gleaned from his Instagram. That's fine. Okay, look. Oh, I didn't know this.

Cooper is a celebrity dog. Oh. So $2,000 may not actually be that much. Right. Cooper, an Instagram celebrity dog with 16,000 followers. Oh, has someone stolen him? Possibly. Oh.

Which is horrible. That's awful. From Tikawiti. Oh, maybe not. He's gone missing following a thunderstorm. He could have bolted. Oh, no. Anyway, this is where the story gets weird. So they've asked a bunch of psychics and then one of the psychics, after taking

the $150, that's the bit you need to know. They've taken the money, have come back and said, Cooper has jumped over a log. It's gone wrong. The log has rolled on him, broken his leg. Oh, God. And then he has drowned in mud.

Oh, that is graphic. So after the therapy, then paying them, thank you, and then he's like, actually. It's not therapy. Or whatever it is. It's like a psychic reading. Yeah. This is what I'm feeling now.

If you're a... That's real full on. I have real mixed feelings when it comes to psychics. Because if it's genuine, fine. But really, from Britain, you can tell where the sausage dog from Tikawiti went. It might be your job. If I come to you with $150, just make me feel better.

Yeah. Yeah, totally. Just say something to make me feel better. Give me a little bit of hope. Because they've gone and looked around their property at logs and stuff and they haven't found them. So there's definitely no truth to it yet. Yeah.

So sad. Oh, that's awful. Just to take the money and then say your sausage dog died a horrific death. That's not cool. No. I hope she's not right. By the way, I was talking about my cat the other day. Remember I said I had to take my cat to the after-hours vet?

Yes, how's Ziggy? Do you guys want to know how Ziggy is? I do. She's been to the special cat ophthalmologist because she's got a bung eye. One of New Zealand's only two ophthalmologists. And the jury's still out. She might have cat AIDS. What? Yeah, she might have cat AIDS. two ophthalmologists. Mm-hmm. And the jury's still out. Oh.

She might have cat AIDS. What? Yeah, she might have cat AIDS. Really? Yeah, cat HIV. Aw. It's actually called FIV. Aw.

Feline immune. Aw, that's so sad, Clint. She might not. She might not. And if she does, it's manageable, apparently. Oh, okay. It's something you can deal with. Ooh, I was getting a bit emotional there.

How much do you think it costs to go to the... Which we appreciate and we love our cat ophthalmologist. He's doing a great job with our cat. Thank you very much. How much do you think it costs us to go there? No, no, don't guess. $500. Including medicine.

Okay, yeah, no, that's all right. And you can't put a price on your pets. Like I said, very important. How much would you pay to get the cat put down? Like, that's all right. And you can't put a price on your pets. Like I said, they're very important. How much would you pay to get the cat put down? Like, where's your limit? I wouldn't pay anything to get that cat. No, but if he's like, that's going to cost 20 grand. Yeah, would you put it down then?

Oh, rough. Oh. Put it this way, I have spent the whole morning on the phone to Southern Cross Pet Insurance asking how much we can bulk the insurance out to. That's a good tip, by the way. Pet insurance is not that expensive and it will prevent situations like this. However, if

Ziggy does need procedures to do with this eye, it's too late to get it covered by insurance. Oh no. Oh, Ziggy. Do not ask me again, Ben. How much? It's ruthless. I don't have 20 grand Okay

There's a story out today About a lady who has had An afterlife experience This is a bit freaky Her name is Tina Hines And she died for All up

27 minutes. That's a long time. She collapsed, and paramedics resuscitated her six times. So she died, came back, died, came back, and all up, the amount of times where she was legally dead equates to 27 minutes. Shit. When she came around, I think one of the times,

not the first time, but one of the times, she couldn't speak. She was what you call intubated. I think that's where you've got the respirator down your throat maybe. Oh, okay. She gestured to her family.

You know how you ask for a pen to write something down? Yeah. So they've handed her a notepad. I think maybe they held the notepad and she's got like a sharpie and she scribbled on there something that's quite hard to read at first

but if you look at it long enough it says it's real. Oh my gosh. She's since come back she's healthy now. And she, they, well actually no,

it says in here that they asked her before she came around, like, what are you talking about? What's real? And she gestured up towards the sky as if to say she's talking about heaven. She's died.

And the afterlife is a real thing. Oh my gosh. So she's back now. And she said that, yeah, I was talking about heaven. And when I died, she reckons she saw Jesus

Really? Hmm Standing at the pearly gates And As if he was like welcoming her This is her This is her take on what happened Yeah

Weird What do you guys make of that? Oh I see I can't read that That doesn't look to me like that anyway But Oh you can't read it's real out of that? Definitely real letters, though.

It definitely says it's real. Yeah. I mean the experience itself. Because when you are in that state, some people say you still have the ability to dream. Yes, that's what I was about to say. You could be hallucinating and going, your body's going, I am dying.

So let's dream all this cool stuff. And this is what happens when you die, you see Jesus. Exactly. And she is a religious person. Yeah, yeah. However, I'm reading a book at the moment written by a neurosurgeon, so a brain dude. Oh yeah, cool. Who had an afterlife experience.

He's not religious. Oh, and he's actually a scientist. So he's a scientist, and he had the same thing. His brain stopped working. And he reckons in this book that the part of your brain that causes imagination and dreams, that's the part of his brain that shut down. So he's saying that he had the perfect near-death experience,

and in that, he says that there was something that happened. Interesting. Now, I haven't finished the book, so I don't know exactly what it is. And it was all just a big joke. A very, very slow reader. But my wife, Lucy, has read it, and she said, she's not religious either, and she said, this book will freak you out.

Oh, my gosh. That book is called proof of heaven i know right but that whole thing that's insane makes you want to behave better doesn't it yeah if you enjoyed this podcast why not give zm's fleshborn and megan a listen to subscribe on the iheart radio app or wherever you get your podcasts hit music with lucy zm
