Hi everybody and welcome to the Bree and Clint podcast.
Guys, guess what I watched on Facebook this morning?
Fresh book.
Fresh book.
I love the fresh book.
What?
What?
Pen, pen, apple, pen, book, pen.
No, I watched the wedding video from Bindi Irwin.
Have you guys seen it?
That's not what I thought you were going to say.
But at the same time, of course that's what you watched.
Yeah.
I saw a bit of it too
Because it came up on my Facebook
After another video and I was like, you know what
I'll stick around for this
Wait, wait, wait
So Bindi Ewan's got married recently
So she got married as all this COVID stuff
Started to go down and they couldn't have
Their actual wedding that they'd planned
So there was like three people at the wedding
Ah
And it's really cute Who was like three people at the wedding ah and it's it's
really cute yeah it's two or three people bob bob terry terry and her husband and and what no no
bindi's husband excuse me excuse me i'm not making this no i'm not making that joke i know i make
some off comments but that was not the joke i was going for. Yeah, I was like, no, yeah. You can't see this.
Bree shot me daggers just then.
Oh, I got confused too, to be fair.
Bindi's freaking husband.
I was like, well, of course he was there.
No, it was one of Steve Irwin's best friends.
Right.
Yeah.
He was also there.
So there was five people?
No, I'm saying like three guests.
And obviously the bride and groom have to be there.
That's what I was meaning.
And Bob walked her down the aisle.
It was really cute.
I have a problem where I still think of Bob as a baby.
Yeah, no, he's big now.
Yeah.
No, he's big.
Bob's lovely.
He is, eh?
He seems so nice.
Anyway, and then they lit a candle for the people that couldn't be there.
It was really cute.
It was.
I agree.
But I didn't.
Did you realize that her now husband, Chandler, is American?
I did know that.
Did you know?
I didn't know that.
But I don't know how they met.
I thought he was an Aussie.
Yeah.
No.
Her mum's American.
Yeah, I know that.
I'm just saying it's not that out there.
I didn't know that, actually.
It's not that out there.
I think she might have met him when she was doing Dancing with the Stars in America.
That would make sense.
That would make sense.
Or maybe they met before that.
I don't know.
Who knows?
Where did they get married?
At Australia Zoo.
Yeah, at Australia Zoo.
Have you guys ever been to Australia Zoo?
No.
Oh, it's pretty incredible.
Which city is it in?
It's on the Sunshine Coast. Yeah, no, maybe I haven't been to that one. In Queensland. Kind of pretty incredible which city is it in it's on the sunshine
coast yeah no maybe i haven't been so in queensland kind of near brisbane i don't think i have actually
i've got some australia chat too by the way what's australia chat so do we anybody and i know there's
gonna be a no you were in a van ben you don't care ellie and you were glamping then i also just
asked for myself are you talking about the Warriors? Yeah. Thank you.
What happened?
Did you watch the Warriors?
Yes, until our Skygo kind of munted out, but we watched it.
We were trying.
So the NRL's back.
Yeah.
I'm excited for that.
Warriors played on the weekend and they won.
Did they? No, not a single person expected the Warriors to win.
Because every one of you even last week were going on and on.
You're like, oh, well, they're never going to win.
Excuse me. I had the faith. going on and on. You're like, oh, well, they're never going to win. Excuse me.
I had the faith.
I support the boys.
You definitely did.
Anyway, this is where it becomes particularly relevant for you.
Yeah.
The Warriors have been given a new home stadium because they have to play in Australia.
Is it Suncorp?
No.
Oh.
No, not quite.
That's where the Broncos play.
Yeah, I know, but that's what I was thinking.
They gave the Warriors their own stadium.
It's the Central Coast Stadium.
Is it?
Yeah. Oh, that's cool I was thinking They gave the Warriors their own stadium It's the Central Coast Stadium Is it? Yeah
Oh that's cool
So Central Coast is where Bree did her radio show before
She came here to ZM
Which is kind of near Sydney
Here's the problem
It's an amazing stadium
It's so cool
It's right on the beach
It's better than their stadium in Auckland
So they're not going to want to come home
Plus in this stadium they win
Yep
They're going to want to Maybe home. Plus, in this stadium, they win. Yep. They're going to want to.
Maybe this will be their permanent stadium.
Yeah.
I think.
And I think we should rally behind.
That would suck for everyone here.
No, that's fine.
Yeah, I don't mind.
That's fine.
But you get free flights over when you want to go watch a game.
You don't even need to do that.
You just need to tell Warriors fans that the Warriors will win.
And they'll be like, cool, relocate them to Denver if you need to.
I'm coming.
And they'll be sweet. So, yeah, that to Denver if you need to. I'm coming. And they'll be sweet.
So, yeah, that's where they're based.
Who did they play?
They played St. George.
Oh, well, there you go.
Did the Broncos win?
They played Parramatta.
I don't know how the Broncos went.
Sorry, I didn't catch that one.
Producer Ben, can we look that up?
How exciting that NRL is back.
Yeah.
So, and this is what I was going to ask
There's no crowds is there
Obviously
No
Oh okay so this is fun
Oh yes
So there's a stand
And they pick one stand
And the whole grandstand
And they've filled that
With cardboard cutouts
No they
Yes they have
No they have
Yes they have
And you can pay
$22
Yeah
To have your cardboard cutout
Put in the stands
No No shit Can we do that Yeah we can do it Let's put our whole team in there pay $22 to have your cardboard cutout put in the stands? No.
No shit.
Can we do that?
Yeah, we can do it.
Let's put our whole team in there.
Yeah, you pick the game.
They do cutaway shots to the cardboard crowd.
It's very weird, eh?
And then, because there's no crowds in the stadium,
for TV, they're overdubbing the game with fake crowd noise.
I was just about to say.
Like a laugh track
So they're actually
Dubbing in fake
Yeah
Laughter
Cheering
Fake cheering
But there's a guy
Who's got I imagine
A soundboard
And when something
Exciting happens
He has to click off
The excited music
Yeah
I was wondering about that
Yeah
It's like a live DJ mix
Of crowd noise
Do you guys know
Who Ray Warren is?
Yeah the commentator
Yeah Rabbit
He's like the big famous NRL commentator
Because do you reckon it would affect
Is that why they call him Rab?
Yeah
Because Rabbit Warren
Yeah
Oh I just got that
Yeah
Welcome to the party
Do you reckon it affects how he commentates?
Oh because there's no crowd?
Because there's no crowd So he wouldn't live off the energy.
Yeah, I know what you're saying.
That's assuming you think he can feel the energy anyway,
because he'll be in a soundproof glass box.
So I don't know.
I don't know.
Or does he have one ear pod in that just has crowd noise?
I reckon he could sense it.
Yes, in his waters.
Anyway, the Warriors are on, baby.
We're off.
The 2020, this is actually our year. Yeah, that's good, eh? How good? Hey, no, in his waters. Anyway, the Warriors are on, baby. We're off the 2020. This is actually our year.
Yeah, that's good, eh? Hey, no, that's awesome.
Yeah, I can finally wear my Warriors jersey
out of the house. And I'm so glad they beat
a Sydney team, too. Yeah.
Because, I mean, Sydney have a thousand teams.
So, you know, go the Warriors.
Go the Warriors. Did the Broncos win,
Producer Ben? Oh, no.
They got pumped.
Oh. Bloody Sydney teams, I tell ya.
Piss off, Parramatta.
Your team needs to relocate to the Central Coast, I think.
That's a hot sports chat from us.
And now, a show, which let me check, contains zero sport.
Okay, here it is. Enjoy.
Hey Google, what's the time?
It's 3pm, give or take a minute.
Alexa, play ZM on iHeartRadio.
Playing ZM on iHeartRadio.
Hey Siri, when are Brie and Clint on?
Brie and Clint are on air in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
Kia ora everybody, welcome to the show, Brie and Clint.
Welcome back from your long weekend. hopefully you had a lovely break.
Yes.
And a safe trip if you did go anywhere.
Yes, and if you're still trying to get home from the Coromandel, well look, we're on air
until 7 o'clock.
Okay, we'll keep you entertained.
What a bizarre time of life this continues to be.
We've just been checking in with Dean McCarthy, who's our Hollywood correspondent,
who we're going to talk to in the show today.
First of all, not even about celebrity,
we're just going to talk about life in America
right now, where there are protests
and riots and scenes going on
all across the country.
It's crazy and
scary to see what is unfolding
over there, and I feel
like you and I can't really comment on this really per se, but
you just need to take it in and listen and feel what's going on.
And it's so hard to really comprehend what exactly is happening over there right now,
though.
4,000 people in downtown Auckland yesterday, hundreds of people outside Parliament in Wellington,
people in the Square and Christchurch,
people gathering in Dunedin.
This thing is, it happened in America,
but the movement is worldwide.
So it's just this year itself continues to be
the strangest year of all time.
Like it just.
If anyone like from last year,
if someone said in 2019,
these would be all the things that would happen,
you'd be like, what?
In a row?
And it's June 2nd.
I know.
We're not even halfway.
Anyway, it's horrific, the stuff that is happening.
And we will talk to Dean, like we said, later in the show.
He's going to give us an on-the-ground update
on exactly what's going down over there.
Of course, the Daddy Bloomfield Extravaganza Bonanza continues today.
If you text us before 4 o'clock, you could win $500 of free fuel.
I know.
Today's a good one.
$500 of fuel.
Amazing.
Yeah.
All you've got to do is Daddy to 96.
This is the last week of this, by the way.
It's a 9696.
Last week.
So get on that text and text Daddy to 9696.
Next, though, it's important to have good news stories at the moment, to 9696 last week. So get on that text and text daddy to 9696.
Next, though, it's important to have good news stories at the moment, too.
And I'm proud to announce that on this show, we have two heroes.
There are two heroes here on the show.
And we're going to celebrate those heroes together.
Are you talking about yourself as one of the heroes?
No, no.
This is a selfless break where I'm going to celebrate heroes that live among us.
I can't wait.
Yeah.
I'd love to celebrate.
Exactly right.
Can we get We Are The Champions ready,
please, Producer Ben?
We'll have that.
You two listening
may be a hero
and we'll be celebrating
you as well after this.
Bree and Clint, ZM.
Bree and Clint.
This is exciting
because on the show
in our midst,
we have a couple of heroes. That's right. Full-bl exciting because on the show, in our midst, we have a couple of heroes.
That's right, full-blown heroes on the show today.
And they say that a hero could save us.
Go, Webb, go.
I hear the Spider-Man song.
Yeah.
What are we supposed to do at the moment?
Shop local, support local.
Absolutely.
And explore our own backyard.
And over the weekend, some members
of our team did just that. So we're here to celebrate them and celebrate you if you did
the same thing. Let's start with you, Bree. What did you do over the weekend?
I visited the lovely Tauranga and I went to, it was like a family, not a family, it was
like a farm stay in a tiny sustainable cabin that was off the grid. Oh, my God.
It was so much fun.
When you say off the grid, you put up a lot of Instagram stories.
So is it still not off the-
I bought my own aerial.
Yeah, fair enough.
Okay.
No, it was actually surprisingly you, when I say off the grid,
I mean it's not connected to any power source.
Right.
Okay.
It's all like solar powered.
Which is really cool.
With its own water and stuff like that.
We did run into one problem because it was a bit overcast.
Yeah.
So it's one of those really nice kind of soirees where it's got an outdoor bath.
Wonderful.
And I was like, oh, this is for me.
Get in there, yeah.
So it was cold.
Nothing like being naked looking at nature, right?
Right.
Yeah.
And anyway, so it was cold and it was raining.
So I was like, this is amazing.
This will be great.
I'll fill up the bath, put a bit of bubble bath in.
It'll be great.
Anyway, because it'd been overcast all day,
the hot water system hadn't charged all the way.
So we got about a quarter of a hot bath and then I had to fill up the rest
with one of the big plastic recyclable containers
and I stood in the shower and was filling it up with hot water
and then running it to the bath.
Still, you invested in the local economy.
And I'm proud to say you, my friend, on the road to recovery, you're a hero.
You're not the only hero, though.
Let's go live to Producer Ben.
Producer Ben, come in.
G'day, guys.
Tell us what you did over the long weekend
to stimulate the local economy.
I saw the camper vans
were having a bit of a cheap sale.
You know, no tourists coming in.
You and everyone else in the country.
It was a good deal, wasn't it?
Yeah, that afternoon,
went online,
bought a $20 caravan
for 20 bucks a day
and just drove 700km up north.
Juicy, right?
You got a juicy rental.
Yeah, got a little juicy rental
and just went for it.
Yeah.
Went all the way to Whangaparao, went all cafes up there.
Spent some money in the cafes, that's good.
And then went up to Matori Bay, keep
going. Can I ask, the
caravan that you got didn't
have a shower on board. No.
So where would you guys shower? Yeah, you were
in that van with your girlfriend for
three, four nights I think.
It was an ocean swim.
Oh, I wish.
It was a bit stormy for the ocean.
But there were some warm showers up at the campground,
so they were allowed to lose.
So like an hour in the morning, you're allowed to go for it.
So hygiene was observed.
Hygiene was observed.
We've got another hero.
I can be your hero, baby.
Yeah.
And now we go live to producer Ellie.
I bought some drinks at the dairy.
Does that count?
How many drinks?
Just a Myzone and a V.
Is that good?
Is that enough?
Were you hungover at the time?
No.
Did you grab a pie or anything?
No, I didn't actually.
You didn't get one of your favourite chicken apricot?
No.
Just a Myzone and a V?
Yeah, that's about it really.
Where were you though? Matata. Oh, she's a hero. Oh a my zone and a V. Yeah, that's about it, really. Where were you, though?
Matata.
Oh, she's a hero.
Oh, thank you.
Take it.
Yeah, it's good.
You know what,
and I never thought, you know,
where we do things for ourselves
would make us a hero,
but I'm here for it.
No, you're all heroes.
We benefit.
Yeah.
And everyone else,
mainly the economy benefits
Is the KFC drive
I was asking for a friend
KFC drive through
Twice on the weekend
Is that person a hero?
Absolutely mate
Mark it down
Yeah
Hey I told you before
How you can get
An Instagram filter
Applied to your face
For life
Okay
Because everyone looks
Better with a filter
Do they?
Sometimes
I feel like people look like
robots.
What's your opinion on someone who
clearly has an Instagram or Snapchat filter
on their face as their
Tinder profile picture? Don't trust them.
I really don't. If you've got the dog filter
on, I'm swiping left.
Okay, what's your current favourite filter? Do you have one
that you like the most at the moment? To be honest,
I feel like I have – I don't use filters
because I feel like it's kind of like cheating.
False advertising.
Yeah, it's false advertising.
Then people meet me in person and they're like, damn.
Some of them are really clever.
Some of them are.
They make you look really young.
They can make you look –
I really liked the old person one.
Yes.
That was really fun.
Or the one that turned you into a baby.
Yeah, that's –
That was quite fun. That's cute too. But the one that turned you into a baby. Yeah, that's... That was quite fun.
That's cute too.
But I mean, you're not trying to like...
But I don't think anyone's going to go,
oh, she's a baby.
Like, oh, believe it, you know?
Well, what about the freckle filter
that everyone's using?
You know that one?
And something that...
I don't know how it does it,
but it like beautifies you a bit.
It gives you nice...
Smooths out your skin.
Smooths your skin,
but then applies like really cute freckles to your face as well. See, as a person who has had freckles their whole life, I feel a bit ripped off.
Right.
Because I'm like, that was my one thing.
Oh, now everyone can get access to it.
You should feel flattered.
People want to look like you.
I didn't realise people, so many people liked freckles.
They're very in vogue at the moment.
There's a influencer from Germany by the name of Kate Merlin.
She's 33 years old.
Okay.
And she's decided that she likes the freckle filter so much
that she's had it permanently tattooed onto her face.
You're taking the piss, aren't you?
So now she's got freckles.
She's never had them before.
She had that tattooed on her face.
But she went and got freckles tattooed onto her face.
Do you guys want to hear a crazy story?
A woman I know back home in Australia, she's actually a radio announcer.
Yeah.
She drew freckles on her face.
So every time she put makeup on.
She'd draw them on.
She would draw freckles onto her face.
You know how long she did that for?
How long?
18 years.
What?
People believed she had freckles.
Didn't they see the freckles in different places each day?
Or did she have like a map, like a grid where she was putting them on the same spot every time?
Well, she said, yeah, they did change around quite a bit.
But she would just be like, oh, obviously my makeup's covering.
Just say, why are you looking at me so hard?
Yeah.
Buzzy.
Isn't that crazy?
Well, anyway, if you can't be bothered doing that,
you can now get the Freckle Filter on your face full time
for the low, low price of $445.
That's how much she paid.
That's how much she paid, yeah.
For that big tattoo on her face.
Yeah, just the little spotty bits.
Yeah.
Bree and Clint from iHeartRadio. Yeah, just the little spotty bits. Coming to us live out of the United States
in one of the most bizarre times in history,
Dean McCarthy, good afternoon.
Hello, Dean.
Hi, guys.
Yeah, talk about a wild time to be crossing to you.
It is definitely going down.
To set the scene, there are riots.
People are looting stores.
There is violence.
I just drove past the Porsche dealership,
and all the Porsches have been taken away in case someone, you know, vandalized them.
It's mayhem.
It really is mayhem over here.
So you're in Los Angeles, and the protests are on full flight there as well?
Yes.
So you guys remember where I live?
It is literally happening about three blocks.
It was happening about three blocks from where I live.
Rodeo Drive, they smashed into the Gucci store.
I saw an army tank on Rodeo Drive today. An army tank was on there. It was wild. They've broken into all of the big stores and it's moving around different parts of the city.
It was downtown LA. It was up in Hollywood. Every day there's a new area. It's really
scary. I was awake late last night because you could hear all the helicopters
and all the sirens.
It kind of freaks me.
It is a very, very unsettling feeling, to be honest.
Laying in bed and you can hear the helicopters going over the top of you,
knowing that down on the street people are jumping through windows
and getting arrested and bats platooned or whatever you call it with batons.
It's wild.
I mean, watching it on Facebook, and we've seen quite a lot of footage
of the looting and the rioting, obviously, and it's crazy
because it looks like it's something out of a movie.
It reminds me of, do you remember those books,
Tomorrow When The War Began?
Yeah.
It's like we've gone all the way through,
and there is no sign of it slowing down in America.
People are hurting, People are upset.
And so they should be.
And Trump spoke today, didn't he, Dean?
And that's not made anything better at all.
Oh, goodness.
You took the words out of my mouth.
It couldn't have made it worse, actually.
He finally spoke.
You may know that he's been hiding in a bunker at the bottom of the White House over the last few days.
He came out today.
He spoke.
He said that, or this is what he said.
And it's actually, I don't believe he can
even do it. But what he said was all of the different states will be activating military
to get all of this under control. He said, all of this will stop right now. It will stop right now,
is how he said it. And then he said that any of the states that don't get it under control,
he himself will get the military to go in and get it under control for them. Apparently, you actually can't do that.
They have to ask him to.
Like, he can't just do that, apparently.
I don't know the laws specifically.
But he's upset a lot of people.
He waited a few days to speak.
It's full of nonsense and it's riled up, as you can imagine, a lot of people.
Well, we want you to stay safe, Dean.
Thank you for giving us an update on that.
And, yeah, just keep going, I guess. It's crazy to hear, but thank you to stay safe, Dean. Thank you for giving us an update on that. And yeah, just keep
going, I guess. It's crazy
to hear, but thank you for sharing your insight with us.
We really appreciate it. Thanks, Dean.
Mate, do you love a secret
room as much as I love a secret
room? What, like a red room? No, not
a red room. Like a dungeon? No.
Because no, I don't
think I love it as much as you do. Well, just think
the secret room I'm about to tell as you do. Well, just think.
The secret room I'm about to tell you about is better than the red room.
Okay.
It's better than that.
All right, what do you got?
I saw this article online.
It was talking about a supermarket over in Australia in Sydney,
the Woolworths chain, which essentially is like Countdown here.
Same as Countdown.
Same as Countdown.
Yeah.
Anyway, people are going nuts because they've got a secret room
in this new supermarket.
What, like a VIP room in a supermarket?
Well, that's what I thought. Is that where they keep the upper market cheeses?
Oh, it is.
That's so funny you say that.
Is it a cheese room?
It is a secret temperature-controlled cheese room.
Dream situation.
So apparently you roll into this room and they've just got wheels if you want to
buy like a whole wheel of cheese and just
every type of cheese you can think of and it's
in its own separate, yeah,
temperature controlled room. You'd want to find out what
the day was where they do the sampling.
You know how there's always a day
where everyone's in there sampling the food? Yes.
Imagine you go and then you just sample 15
different types of cheese. That'd be the best.
That'd be the only room I need to go to.
I was thinking, because obviously we're not in Australia, we're here,
we should call the fanciest countdown we know
and see if they've got this secret cheese room.
See if they've got a secret cheese room.
And they've been holding out on us.
Hi, Paul.
I was just calling up. I've heard about the secret cheese room
and I just need to get the details of it
The secret cheese room?
Paul, I understand it is a secret
totally fair enough
but I have found out
I will keep it to myself
if you can just tell me
what store the secret cheese room
is located in.
This is from the radio station, isn't it?
It doesn't matter whether we're from
a radio station or not, okay? It may be,
but we just wanted to find out for the people,
Paul. We've heard about the secret cheese room.
Sydney, over in Australia,
they've got one. Where's the cheese room, Paul?
Where is it, Paul?
It's definitely a cheese cigarette.
Yeah, I know it's a cheese cigarette.
I know.
And I know you think they're telling us on the radio that it's going to spoil it.
This is just between us, Paulie, old boy.
Yeah, we won't put this on the radio.
So just give us an aisle.
Just give us an area in which we would find the secret cheese room.
Is the password Gouda?
No, no. Say nothing. No, it's definitelya? No, no.
Say nothing.
Okay, give us this at least.
If there is a secret cheese room, say nothing right now.
I knew it.
You've done enough, Paul.
Thank you so much for your help, Paul.
The hunt begins.
If you see two people in there lifting up every piece of salami
trying to unlock a secret door, that'll be us, okay?
That's where I hide everything.
Don't worry.
Thanks, Paul, from Countdown.
You've been a huge help.
Appreciate your help, Paul.
Thanks.
Attention all the twins listening,
or maybe if you're a twin and your other twin's somewhere else,
attention to you as well.
We've been doing a few... Attention twins. Yeah, attention well. We've been doing a few. Attention twins.
Yeah, attention twins.
We've been doing a few social experiments with twins lately,
like we got the two identical twins to test whether
or not they could open each other's facial recognition
on their phone.
Yeah.
Turns out they can.
They can, yeah.
It works.
Yep.
I've got another one today.
Okay.
A twins social experiment.
It's off the back of this story I was reading about.
It's twins from Australia, Marissa and Rebecca.
They're identical.
And they decided last year that they would buy houses
that were directly next to each other.
Oh, right.
So it was like a duplex.
Oh, they're connected to each other.
Connected to each other.
Oh, yeah.
It's a duplex. You can have a twin door between them. Literally. Oh, they've connected to each other. Connected to each other. Oh, yeah. It's a duplex.
You can have a twin door between them.
Literally.
Oh, they've got that.
Well, yeah, I think so.
Anyway, they both were very decrepit, old, so they've renovated them.
What, the twins?
Oh, the house.
Oh, sorry.
Not the twins.
I was like, who describes a person as decrepit?
No, the house.
Bits of the twins were falling off.
Yeah. So they decided to renovate them, and they've renovated No, the house. Bits of the twins were falling off. Yeah, so they decided to renovate them
and they've renovated them exactly the same.
Yeah, right.
And apparently one twin would go to pick a colour
and the other twin would be like, that's the colour I've picked.
People talk about twins being able to do that.
My mum is one of these people, right?
Yeah.
Because she's a twin.
She's a fraternal twin though, but she seems to think... Wait, what's the difference?
So a fraternal twin is
where they're not identical.
You share the womb but not an egg. Exactly.
Whereas identical twins, it's one egg
and it splits at a certain point.
So you're two halves of the same person.
Pretty much. Yeah, right.
Anyway, so my mum's a fraternal twin. She always goes,
you know when I had you
when I gave birth,
your auntie looked at the clock and goes,
Diane's just had the baby.
The story she always tells.
She goes, we've got that connection with each other.
Diane crossed her legs and she went down with crippling pain
and that's when I knew you were crowning.
Yeah, that's when I knew.
And I looked at it and I said, 208 in the morning. I said,
boom, she's had the baby. I said, okay, mum. But she seems to think that they actually do
have that connection. But I thought we could test that theory out this afternoon. Okay,
what do we need? All we need is we need twins to call 0800 dial ZM. If you're not with your twin,
that's okay. Call us anyway. And we will try and get in touch with your twin.
Yeah.
Right now.
And then next, we're going to see if whether or not twins have that connection telepathically.
Okay, perfect.
Are you a twin fraternal or otherwise?
We'll take either or.
Both will work?
Yes.
Call us now and we can dial up your other twin.
We can get them on the show.
Yeah, we'll get them on for you.
And then we can duck down.
Well, actually, can you just tell them telepathically to call?
Yeah, actually, that'd be good too.
Tell them to pick up our private number.
0800-DIAL-ZM.
If you're a twin, call us now.
We'll conduct our experiment next.
Free in Clint.
Hello and welcome back to The Social Experiment,
where this afternoon you and I, Clint,
are going to debunk the theory of whether or not twins
can speak to each other telepathically.
Debunk it?
We're trying to prove it wrong.
Well, maybe.
Is that what that means?
I knew you didn't know what that word meant.
I just thought it sounded good.
We're testing the theory anyway, aren't we?
We are testing the theory and we've come up with a game
that we think will test the theory on the radio
and we've asked twins to call up on 0800
dial ZM and that's exactly what you did Zach. Hi Zach. Hi are you there? Yes we're here now are you
an identical twin or a fraternal? Yeah yeah identical well we think so anyway we've done
the DNA test and it said we're identical. What do you mean you think so? Do you look like each other? Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Who's the better looking one?
Chris will think he is.
Well, shall we get Chris on?
Yeah, let's get Chris on.
He's on the phone.
Zach's identical twin, Chris.
Hi, Chris.
Welcome to our social experiment.
G'day, Chris.
Yeah, g'day.
Do you have any idea what is going on right now?
Nah, I just got a phone call.
Excellent, excellent.
Well, you're live on ZM
and today we're going to test out whether
you and Zach can communicate to each other telepathically.
That's right. We're going to ask Zach
to think of something and then we're going to get you
to see if you can identify what that thing is.
So channel what he's thinking and then we're going to see
if you can get that thought telepathically.
Does everybody understand?
Yeah.
Right, so for this to work, we need the radios to be turned off
if you have the radios on because that does actually interfere.
Yeah, the transmission waves.
With the telepathic-ness.
Now, Chris, you're going to be guessing,
and Zach, you're going to be thinking.
We'll let you know what the first item is first, and then, Chris, we're going to be guessing, and Zach, you're going to be thinking. We'll let you know what the first item is first,
and then, Chris, we're going to send you away into a cone of silence
while we find out the correct answer together before you come back.
That's right.
So, Chris, before you go away into the cone of silence,
the first category you'll be guessing is colour.
Colour. What is the colour that Zach is thinking of?
I'm just going to pop you in the cone of silence now.
OK, he's in there.
Perfect.
He's gone?
He's gone.
So, Zach, you're still here?
Yeah.
Okay, great.
Here's the deal, Zach.
Whatever he says, say it's correct.
Just agree.
Completely agree.
So, it's actually just a big stitch up on your twin, okay?
Okay, that makes sense.
Let's bring him back.
Let's bring him back.
Okay.
All right. So, Zach's twin, Chris, is back. Okay. That makes sense. Let's bring him back. Let's bring him back. Okay. All right.
So Zach's twin, Chris, is back with us.
Hi, Chris.
Yo.
All right.
So your job now, Chris, is Zach has told us and everyone listening a completely random
colour that he was thinking of.
Yeah.
All you have to do right now is get that telepathic thought and say it right now.
What was your identical twin, Zach, thinking of?
Green.
Holy crap.
Whoa!
That's good.
That's incredible.
It's kind of an easy one, though.
But wait, is that his favourite colour?
Is that your favourite colour, Zach?
Yeah.
Yeah, right.
I love the colour green.
We need to test it more.
Let's try it a bit more.
Okay, you're going back in the cone, Chris.
What's the next category?
The next category is going to be a movie.
Movie.
And Zach, we need you to start thinking of it now
while you're still connected with Chris.
All right, start thinking and pass it between each other's thoughts.
We'll pop Chris back in the cone.
All right, Chris is gone.
That was good, Zach, by the way.
That was perfect, Zach.
That's really good.
This time, I want you to react first and just be really blown away, okay?
Be like, oh, my gosh.
Oh, my God.
Yeah, you can do that?
Okay, yeah.
Okay, bring him back out.
All right, Chris, your identical twin, Zach,
has told us a movie completely at random.
What movie was he thinking of?
Deadpool?
What?
Oh, you got it.
Oh, no.
What?
Two from two.
Two from two.
What are the odds of that?
Chris, how did Deadpool come to you?
This is weird, man.
This is crazy.
Because he's addicted to Fortnite
and they just had a Deadpool crossover.
Yeah, right.
Okay, you're looking at trends.
That's interesting.
Let's try another one.
We've got to do one more.
Yeah, let's do one more.
And I think the one that's probably going to be completely random
is a number between one and a million.
One and a million?
One and a million because I mean –
That's too broad.
No, I don't reckon –
That's too broad.
One and a million.
One and a million.
All right.
You hear that, Chris? Well, if it works, it works's too broad. One in a million. One in a million. All right. You hear that, Chris?
Well, if it works, it works.
Chris, we're going to pop you back in the cone.
Are you thinking of the number, Zach?
Yeah, yeah.
Pass it to Chris.
Pass it to Chris.
All right.
Yeah, I'm passing it.
All right, Zach.
One in a million.
No matter what number Chris says.
Go off, okay?
Just go off.
Okay, we all need to really go off when he gets this.
Okay.
Yeah.
If he falls for this, let's bring him out.
Let's bring him out.
All right, and we've got...
Is Chris back with us?
Is he out of the cone?
Let's bring Chris back out of the...
Chris, are you there?
Yeah.
Chris, this could be truly record-breaking right now
if you guess the number between one and a million
that your identical twin, Zach, has thought of.
21.
Oh, my God!
You're kidding me!
That's our birthday.
That is.
That's your birthday.
That is amazing.
This has been Truly Mind Blowing.
Chris and Zach.
You guys should start a magic show or something.
Yeah, well done, guys.
Thanks so much.
Bree, I've got a question for you.
Okay.
Can a pie be sexually suggestive?
I've never thought of a pie as being...
I don't mean American pie.
I'm not talking about warm apple pie.
Oh, American pie.
No, not that sort of pie.
A meat pie.
Yeah, a meat pie, traditional Kiwi pie.
Can it be sexually explicit?
I mean, I've never looked at a pie and went, ooh.
Well, according to Facebook,
the pie that a man called Niels is making
for Crafty Pies in Wellington is just that.
And the man behind these sexually suggestive pies
is on the show with us now.
Hi, Niels.
Hello, mate.
How are you?
You naughty, naughty boy making those naughty pies
that Facebook has banned.
Yeah.
Why have they banned it, Niels?
I don't understand.
Did you put a bit of, like, frankenbeans on top or something?
I don't think a human eye saw it.
Right.
Yeah.
So let me, I forgot the details straight.
Your bakery had to close for the lockdown.
So you moved.
We had just started up and we were just about to supply some cafes in town
and then the lockdown happened, yeah.
So you move your pie business onto Facebook,
selling pies contactlessly
and promoting it through Facebook, yeah?
Smart.
Yep, yep.
And I set up a website for ordering, yep.
And then Facebook takes your picture and writes this.
It looks like we can't approve this
because we don't allow the sale of adult items or services,
e.g. sexual enhancement items or adult videos.
What?
And what does it look like to you guys?
To me, it looks like a delicious shepherd's pie.
Can I have a look?
That looks like a yummy shepherd's pie.
Yeah.
So have you had the chance to reflect on this at all?
Because I want to know from you, the man who made it,
is there any part of the pie that you believe
could be misinterpreted as being sexually explicit?
Well, it's got a bit of cinnamon in it.
And a bit of ginger.
And a bit of ginger as well.
Oh, I do think cinnamon is very sexual.
It's a lamb meat, so...
A lamb meat.
That's a sexy animal if you're a New Zealander.
Yeah.
Niels, I got you on here not just for a laugh.
Maybe I can help, okay?
I think I might have discovered exactly why Facebook thinks your pie
is so sexually suggestive.
And if you'll allow me, it lies right here in the ingredients list.
Have a listen to this.
Okay.
Lean lamb cooked with fresh ginger, cumin, I mean cumin, and cinnamon
served in a shell of parmesan and black pepper pastries
with a carrot and parsnip mashed topping.
Yummy, yummy, yummy, yummy.
Now you tell me that is not sexually suggestive, Niels.
It could be.
I think I need a minute.
Alone with the pie.
It's a cute pie.
It is a cute pie, yeah
I'm going to match with it on Tinder later, Niels
That's Niels
from Crafty Pies in Wellington
He makes the sexiest pies
in New Zealand
I can't supply pies to Auckland at the moment
but I'm working on
packaging for that
Keep an eye on my
I'm getting quite a few calls from up your way.
I'm willing to do long distance, Niels.
Kia ora, I'm Jane Yee.
I'm Alex Casey.
And I'm Duncan Grave.

Brie and Clint.
Hey, there's a cloud of suspicionanging over the Brie and Clint studio today
And I want to be honest about it
I want to get it out there
And just address it straight up
Because I mean you guys are part of this family as well
Listening and I feel like if there's
Something going on in the background
We should talk about it and we should talk about it together
What is it?
So well you know
You know
But the suspicion.
Yeah, there's a bit of suspicion.
So tomorrow.
I love that you're making this about you.
I am making it about me.
Because you, because, and because it's because of what you've done.
So you, I didn't want to make this about me.
And somehow it has, look, I'm upset and I'm just going to come out and say it.
Tomorrow we were meant to do our big running race.
We were going to do a Bronco, like Broden Barrett.
Yes.
We're going to try and break the Broden Barrett barrier.
We were meant to do it last week, but it was raining.
But it was raining.
And you, wow.
We were meant to do it last week.
And Bree says, oh, sorry, I can't do it.
My soccer boots aren't waterproof.
No, but in all fairness, would you want to do it in the rain?
Did Broden Barrett do it in the rain? I want the best conditions. No, we didn't end up doing it because you would you want to do it in the rain? Did Bowdoin Barrett do it in the rain?
I want the best conditions.
No, we didn't end up doing it because you said you couldn't do it.
So anyway, long weekend, plenty of time to prepare,
plenty of time to train and get ready to do the Bronco run,
which by the way is just like a sprinting test and it's like a fitness test.
It's terrific.
I'm not going to lie.
Yeah, but a bit of fun.
Didn't want to do it. I got producer Ben bit of fun. Didn't want to do it.
I got producer Ben to organise a venue for us and he organised the national stadium.
We're going to do it at Eden Park on the field.
I was excited to do it there.
Yeah.
That was exciting.
Were you excited?
Yeah, I was excited to go to Eden Park and get to run on the pitch.
How good.
And this is meant to be happening tomorrow.
Yeah.
Today, we get a message from Bree to say that she's an A&E and then at lunchtime she shows up to work in a cast with crutches.
Are you telling me that you think I went to all of this trouble
to get out of that?
I'm just saying.
I've got a full-blown, full-on cast.
I'm just saying I know how much you don't want to run the Bronco.
And yet somehow the day before we meant to do it,
who shows up literally on crutches with a brand new cast on your leg?
Yeah, I broke my leg.
Well, kind of.
It's a hairline fracture, but still I'm in a cast for it.
Yeah, right.
And this is the first we're hearing about it.
No.
What do you mean?
Today.
It was the first.
I mean, I didn't hear from you ever.
Well, technically, it happened yesterday.
Yeah.
And then I didn't think it was anything that bad.
To be honest, I thought I hurt my ankle.
Yeah.
And then this morning, I was like, oh, I better just go get it checked.
Did you bring your x-rays in?
I actually have them.
No, well, I have them in the car but if you want to see them
I'll show them to you.
No, I believe you.
Oh, now you believe me.
I believe you
because I want to believe you.
So, look,
the stadium is booked.
Are you annoyed
that I
broke my leg?
No, because if I said that out loud
that would be selfish.
I'm just saying how convenient.
Oh, I love.
Tell us about how you broke it.
I can't believe you've been that selfish to go and break your leg
when you and I were meant to do this.
Here's the thing.
Here's the thing.
We've got Bowdoin Barrett's time.
Neither of us were going to beat that.
I just wanted to beat you.
That was going to be the competition.
And you know what?
And now I'm going to have to run
this stupid race by myself
and I'm going to lose because I don't have
your time in the mix. It's just me versus
Bowdoin Barrett. That's not a fair fight.
I want to break my leg.
That's how I felt.
I know you did. When you were making me go
up against you who's been running
all lockdown. And then you
springed on me last week and guess what?
If there was any time I would like to break my leg, it would be now.
Absolutely right.
So you know what?
That is the glass half full right there for me.
I expect you sidelined tomorrow with an umbrella if you're that worried
about the rain.
Can you believe this, producers?
I expect you sidelined and I expect moral support the whole way.
The news.
It is coming in hot here, isn't it?
As I take on the Bowdoin Barrett Bronco alone.
Thanks.
Thanks a lot, Brie.
Some friend you are.
Brie and Clint.
Oh, my God.
I heard she bought all her followers.
She would.
She's such a bitch.
It's time for Brie and Clint's Insta Fame Game.
All right, this is the game where producer Ellie throws up celebrities
and we have to guess, Clint, how many followers those celebrity has.
The person who guesses the closest will get a point.
Well done.
Ellie?
Hello there.
Hello.
Hi.
Tell us who we're playing with this week.
Well, today, folks, we're going to do celebrities
who have all donated to the Black Lives Matter movement in some way.
They've either donated to that movement
or they've donated to people who are protesting, et cetera.
So the first one is Chrissy Teigen.
How many Instagram followers does she have?
I know she's big on Twitter.
I think she's big wherever she goes at the moment.
She's very, like, she's popping off.
She's popping.
All right, for Chrissy Teigen.
Sorry, I got confused.
That's all right.
Clint, you put $100 million.
Brie, you put $29 million.
Chrissy Teigen has $30 million, so that's a point to Brie.
Oh, that was so close.
Yeah, nice.
I knew I came in way too hot.
I knew you did too.
I was like, she's popular, not that popular.
All right, the next.
But she's on lip sync battle.
Sorry, carry on.
All right, your next one.
She's on lip sync battle.
Your next one, Blake Lively.
Her and her partner, Ryan Reynolds,
they donated $200,000 to the NAACP Legal Defence Fund.
Blake Lively.
All right, for Blake Lively, Clint, you put $12 million.
Yeah, not making the Chrissy Teigen mistake again.
She's big, but she's not that big.
Brie, you put $35 million.
Blake Lively has $27 million.
Get it!
Which is another point to Brie.
She's on fire.
Right, okay.
Yeah, Brie could take it here.
Okay, bring it on.
All right, the next celebrity who has donated to the Black Lives Matter movement is Seth Rogen.
Oh, Seth Rogen.
What's he donated?
He's matching, I can't remember the exact charity, sorry, but he's matching what other people are matching, which is really nice.
Yeah, cool.
Oh, cool.
Yeah.
All right.
For Seth Rogen, Clint, you put $9 million.
Bree, you put $40 million.
Seth Rogen has $7.9 million.
Damn it.
It's a point to Clint.
Yes.
Nice.
Damn it.
All right, your next celebrity.
Hang on, do your best Seth Rogen laugh.
I can't remember what it is.
Is that it? That's quite good. That was pretty good. Yeah, that was a stone alarm. I'm I can't remember what it is. Is that it?
That's quite good.
That was pretty good.
That was a stone alarm.
I'm not going to try and top that.
That was great.
All right, your next celebrity is G-Eazy.
Oh, G-Eazy.
G-Eazy.
God, that's a person I haven't thought about for a while.
Right?
Yeah, there you go.
What's G-Eazy up to?
Yeah, I don't know.
Donating money, which is lovely.
Good on G-Eazy.
You know what?
Good on him.
Awesome.
Welcome to the game, G-Eazy.
Nice.
All right.
For G-Eazy, Clint, you put $15 million.
Bree, you put $10 million.
G-Eazy has $8.7 million.
Yes!
Game to Bree.
Woo!
Well done.
Thank you.
Thanks for coming.
Yeah, no problem.
You had to be here.
I'm sorry. That's the laugh. Ben just put the. You had to be here. Oh, sorry,
that's the laugh. Ben just put the laugh on there.
That's good.
Did you hear
Jacinda
and the Bloomfield
have been talking about when we're going to go to level one?
Oh, possibly. Possibly.
They're dangling the carrot.
Still, I mean, we're doing pretty well.
They're going to have a meeting on Monday.
Was it 12 days straight today without any new cases?
I think 11 maybe.
11, 12?
Yeah, they've said if we can get to Monday with no more cases.
They'll definitely look into it, right?
They'll definitely look into it.
Yeah.
Hey, I'm happy with that.
I feel like we've done so well.
Everyone has really done their part.
Yeah.
And there's countries that aren't like
ours right now. No.
Like England at the moment
got some really full on news
yesterday. Yeah.
That from yesterday
June the 1st
the new coronavirus
legislation has made it illegal
to
do that particular activity that adults do.
Oh, the thing.
The thing.
The indoor gardening.
The thing we refer to on this show as indoor gardening.
They've made indoor gardening illegal in your own home
with a person from another household.
So if you don't live with your partner, it's a no-no.
It's illegal.
No inter-bubble activities.
No, at all.
Which, to be fair, that's what we had.
If you weren't isolated with the person that you wanted to do that thing with,
in fact, you could only do it with the people you were isolated with.
Some flat dynamics would have changed drastically over lockdown.
It was slim pickings for some.
Yeah, absolutely right.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But I see what you mean.
If you don't live with your partner.
It makes it very hard.
Yeah, you guys are not doing anything.
And let's take a minute to, you know,
a minute to think about all the single people.
Yep.
Because, I mean, England now, you were telling me how many weeks?
I think they've been in lockdown for 13 weeks.
I think that's, don't quote me on that, but yeah.
A long time anyway.
And a lot longer than us.
And it's not looking, you know, as good as it looks here.
No, they don't have it under control.
You know?
Yeah.
So who knows?
Yeah.
Who knows?
But isn't that crazy that it's, yeah, full on illegal?
But I was thinking, how would they even track that?
Do you know what I mean?
Is there tests that they do?
There's pregnancy tests.
And then they could do a timeline back if they wanted to be really finicky.
And they could go, all right, well, you're six weeks pregnant.
And six weeks ago, we were still in lockdown.
And where did you say your partner lives?
And they go, oh, about two kilometres from where I am.
Ha ha!
They bring in their handcuffs and they
take you off to prison. You're like, but I'm pregnant!
And they're like, you knew the rules, woman!
Or something like that.
Something. I pictured something
way more sinister.
You say, you say, think
of the single people. I say, think
of the people in relationships who are not together.
Because single people, I mean, no
offence, but you guys are used
to dry spells.
No, but there's...
You know, like...
Actually, no,
that's the wrong thing to say.
I was going to say,
I don't know if that's right.
Some people in relationships
are used to dry spells too.
So actually, no,
I'd take it all back.
At least there's a chance
for people who are
in a relationship.
Single people have no idea.
Well, not now,
not under the new laws.
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah.
They've got no chance.
You've got a police officer
standing outside your door. Where do you think you're going? If that's the case, then Yeah, exactly. Yeah. I've got no chance. You've got a police officer standing outside your door.
Where do you think you're going?
If that's the case,
then they should shut down Tinder.
They should shut down Bumble.
Oh, yeah, that's a good idea.
They should shut down the dating apps.
If it's illegal,
don't tempt people.
Yeah.
Don't let people even...
But people have self-control,
don't they?
Surely.
Right.
Well, after 12 weeks, I don't think anyone would have any self-control.
And the big issue is there's no finish line.
Well, that's the thing.
People don't know when.
If the UK government said to them, hey,
you're not allowed to have any inter-bubble relations for three weeks.
Yeah.
All right, start the timer.
I can do that?
Three weeks?
I can handle this.
Yeah, yeah.
But this is indefinite.
They don't know.
Yeah.
It'd be like that movie that Josh Hartnett was in.
Which one?
Oh, this is an old reference.
Is it 40 Days and 40 Nights?
Oh, probably.
I haven't seen it.
You haven't seen any movie.
You will stop giving me movie references then.
People will know.
They'll get the reference on the text machine, I bet.
You know, people will come through.
Which sounds correct.
Yeah, 40 days and 40 nights and it'd be very difficult.
But I want to know from people listening on 0800DIALZM
or you can text through on 9696,
do you get that Josh Hartnett movie reference?
I'm just kidding.
That wasn't it.
Is that what we're asking?
No, that was just a selfish thing for myself.
I wanted to know how long has it been?
Oh.
How long?
Because, I mean, we're going through the same thing.
Yeah.
And it might not even be COVID related.
And all you have to do, you don't have to explain anything.
No.
You just tell us a number of weeks.
Just give us a time frame, yeah.
Yeah, number of weeks.
Yeah.
Or months.
No, we want it in weeks.
Okay. So it sounds bigger. All right, we can do the conversion for. Yep, number of weeks. Yep. Or months. No, we want it in weeks. Okay.
So it sounds bigger.
All right, we can do the conversion for you if you need the help.
Yes.
Just get through to our producers.
That question one more time, and if you get it, you get it.
0800 dial ZM.
How long's it been in weeks?
Pretty simple question for you this afternoon,
although we realise it is quite personal,
but we're not going to ask details.
We just want to know how long has it been?
New rules out today, or yesterday rather, over in the UK,
that it is illegal to indoor garden with someone
that is not a part of your actual household.
Yeah.
Doesn't matter whether they're your partner.
Doesn't matter about that, no.
And that's because of COVID.
Exactly. And so now because of COVID. Exactly.
And so now it's illegal.
It is illegal.
It's illegal.
It's illegal.
They've been in lockdown for 12 weeks already.
So, I mean, we're not in that situation here.
Jacinda said a couple of weeks ago that you can have people over now.
You just have to have less than 10.
Can you imagine how hard it would be for a strip of policemen over in the UK
when they're trying to turn up and people are like,
no, we didn't do anything.
And they're like, no, it's all right.
Can you imagine how hard it is for a strip of policemen here
who thought they could get back to work last week
and they show up and they're like, just before I come in,
is there any nine of you? Because I'll be the 10th. So it has to be. And I just need to check. Yeah. And they show up and they're like, just before I come in, is there any nine of you?
Because I'll be the tenth.
So it has to be.
And I just need to check.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
And they're like, you're a real police officer because there's like 15 of us here.
And you're like, no, I'm a stripper.
No.
Kills the mood, doesn't it?
Still can't come in.
Kills the mood.
Anyway, anyway, anyway, speaking of the mood, how long has it been?
Welcome to the show, Maddie.
Maddie.
Hi.
Thanks for calling through.
How long has it been since you indoor gardened with someone?
Well, we were trying to do the weekly calculations,
but it was like the first week of February.
Yeah, sorry.
I made it difficult because I asked for how many weeks.
Did we work it out?
Okay, wait.
First week in February.
I know it's like four months, so like at least 12 weeks.
16.
Okay, Google.
16?
Really?
Has it been that long?
How many weeks since February 1st?
Maddie's just realising.
She's like, damn.
17 weeks, three days.
17 weeks and three days.
Oh, my gosh.
My birthday was during lockdown, so we were just like,
I didn't even get to get laid on my birthday.
It was so sad.
Maddie, Maddie, Maddie, we're using covert language here,
but thank you for your honesty.
I'm so sorry. No, I love you, Maddie.
Call any time. I love you.
Let's go to someone who wants to remain anonymous.
Hello, anonymous. Hello.
Hello there. Thanks for calling through.
Tell us, how long's it been?
About two
and a half years. Two and a half
years. That's interesting. You can't blame
COVID-19 for that.
But if I can wait that long,
then you should be able to wait that long over COVID.
I totally agree.
If you can do it, then, you know,
other people should be able to, you know, keep it locked up.
Yeah, right.
Keep it in your bloody pants, New Zealand, or something.
Can we ask why?
You said no questions.
No, but I'm really interested.
And you can say no, but is there a particular reason?
I am in a relationship.
He's just on a little holiday at the moment.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay, right.
Yep.
That makes sense to me.
Does it make sense to you?
Absolutely not.
But if it makes sense to you, then that's fine.
Our last person also wants to remain anonymous.
Hello, Anonymous.
Hi, Anonymous.
Hello, lovey.
How are you?
Oh, hi, babe. How are you going? Oh, cute. You sound anonymous. Hello, Anonymous. Hi, Anonymous. Hello, lovey. How are you? Oh, hi, babe.
How are you going?
Oh, cute.
You sound lovely.
Oh, thank you.
Now, same question.
And thank you for being willing to share with us this afternoon.
We were reflecting on this during the songs.
It's an incredibly personal question and we didn't expect any calls.
No, and I love that people have called up because I think it's a totally normal thing to talk about.
Maybe not on the radio, but we're breaking the stigma.
Anonymous, how long has it been?
Well, when you guys said calculate the weeks and I said to your producer,
well, you're going to have fun with this.
Try and calculate the weeks on 23 years.
Hot damn.
And we'll just go to our producers now.
Did we?
Did we do the calculation?
My calculator broke.
I couldn't calculate.
Anonymous, thanks so much for calling up.
Would you like us, that policeman stripper we were talking about,
would you like us to send him around to your place?
No, no, no.
I'm happy on my own.
No, you're fine.
You don't need no man.
Just chicken.
Woo! no man. Just chicken. Bree and Clint. Hey. It's my birthday.
It's my birthday. Bree and Clint's
birthday banger. Alright,
this is where we take your birthdays. We'll figure
out what was the number one song on your
16th. First up's Corinda.
Hi, Corinda. Hi, Corinda. Hi there.
Hi, how you doing? Good, how are you? How was your
long weekend? It was good.
Went down to Livin to visit my in-laws.
That was wonderful. Oh, lovely. Are you being
sarcastic or you really like your in-laws?
No, no, no. They're really lovely.
Okay, good. Do you really like Levin?
Yes, it's good.
Oh, Karinda.
Let's figure out your birthday, Vanga.
What's your birthday?
6th of December, 1995.
Wait. 6th of December, 1995. Wait.
6th of December, 1995.
Perfect.
You were 16 in 2011 on the 6th of December.
And this is your birthday bag.
The Masty.
Royce Mastin.
That's awesome.
That's awesome, yeah.
I like that one.
It's come up a couple of times.
It's really good.
It's a throwback to a time that it's not that long ago,
but you go, oh, my God, what happened to that guy?
Yeah.
Yeah, right.
Let's go to Melinda.
Hi, Melinda.
Hi, Melinda.
Hi, guys.
How are you? Sorry, that's why I got confused before,
because we had a Corinda and a Mylinda.
Oh, gotcha.
So I got a bit confused between the both of you,
but what's your birthday, Mylinda?
12 May 1987.
Alright, you were 16 in 2003
on the 12th of May
and this is your birthday banger.
Sean Paul.
Yes!
I love it. Yeah, that's a great birthday banger.
That's such a good one.
Okay, I think you might be the front runner.
Wait there, my Linda.
Let's go to Nikki.
Hi, Nikki.
Hi, Nikki.
Hi there.
How are you?
Good, thanks.
How are you?
Very well.
Good to have you on the show.
What's your birthday?
So it's the same as the other girl, actually,
but it's 12th of May, 1982.
Oh.
A different year.
Really?
But the exact same day.
There you go.
You were 16 in 1998 on the 12th of May also, and Nikki, this is your birthday banger.
Shania.
Shania Twain.
Shania Twain.
Who doesn't love Shania?
Yeah, not bad at all.
It's a good one.
I've got to be honest.
Don't like that song.
I love Shania Twain.
Yes.
But that Sean Paul song.
Yeah, I'd have to say I'd have to go with Sean Paul.
I don't think, and even you saying that, Nikki,
I don't think it's going to convince Bree because I know how strongly she feels for Shania.
I just don't know if that's the song.
I've dressed up as Shania Twain multiple times in my life.
I've just got a connection with her, you know?
Oh, look, I've spent many nights dancing to that song,
Sean Paul's song, so, yeah.
Yeah, I bet you have.
Okay, we've got some serious deliberation to do.
Is your vote Shania Twain?
You can't be convinced otherwise?
I've got to go with Shania.
Yeah, I'm going to have to stick with Sean Paul.
Which means we're going to a split vote,
but you can choose the producer today.
Which one would you like?
Producer Ben, I think I'll choose.
Because I feel like producer Ben
has a very similar feeling about Shania Twain.
I'd quite like to hear Shania.
Yes!
Yeah, I would.
She's picked right.
Good from you, mate.
Ellie, were you going to choose Sean Paul?
Yeah.
She was going to choose Rhys Meston.
Hey, congrats, Nikki.
You've won birthday banger.
Woo!
Even though you wanted the other song.
Yes. But just look at us holding on
We're still together, still going strong
You're still the one I run to
The one that I belong to
You're still the one I want for life
You're still the one that I
love, the only
one I dream of
You're still the one I
kiss goodnight
Ain't nothing better
We beat
the odds together
I'm glad we didn't
listen
Look at what we would
be missing
They said, I'll bet
They'll never
make it, but just
look at us holding on we're still together still going strong I love you too. The one that I belong to.
You're still the one I want for life.
You're still the one that I love.
The only one I dream of.
You're still the one I kiss goodnight.
You're still the one I kiss goodnight
You're still the one
Yeah
You're still the one I run to
The one I run to The one that I belong to
You're still the one I want for life
Oh yeah
You're still the one that I love
The only one I dream of
You're still the one I kiss goodnight
I'm so glad we made it
Look how far we've come, my baby
Zedian Branclen, that is the winner of Birthday Banger from Shania Twain.
Let's go, girls.
Nailed it. Let's go, girls.
Nailed it.
This is the song producer Ellie and I always put on when we go on road trips,
like as a group, and I say to her, are you feeling it?
And I'm not.
And I'm not.
And Ellie will go, nah, I'm not.
I'm a bit tired.
Do you need this song?
And then this starts.
Shout.
And we're in.
Let's go out now.
How come Ben and I have never been invited to one of these pump-up sessions?
Yeah.
It's a good question.
It's kind of a gals thing.
Yeah, gals only. We've got our own song anyway.
We've got our own song.
Yeah, what's your guys' song?
Why would we tell you?
Why would we tell you now? The best. Good song though, eh, Ben. We've got our own song. Yeah, what's your guys' song? Why would we tell you? Why would we tell you now?
The best.
Good song though, eh, Ben?
It's such a good song.
I don't want to go out.
It's on spinning around, Kylie Minogue, isn't it?
Damn it!
Bree and Clint.
Listen up, people of Otago.
There is a new slogan for your...
Is it the capital city of Otago?
Is that how it works?
Dunedin.
There's a new slogan for Dunedin, okay?
For years it's been get over it, which.
You just explained to me, obviously,
there was that big campaign.
Yeah.
They were like, it's too cold down.
So all the reasons why you shouldn't go to Dunedin,
they're like, it's too cold down there.
And then someone comes on and goes, get over it.
I feel like we need to, you know, boost Dunedin up.
There's a lot of great things about Dunedin.
A lot of great things about Dunedin.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So it should be positive, right?
I agree.
And that's why the new positioning statement for Dunedin.
Ooh, what is it?
New town slogan.
New way to get the people into Dunedin.
To experience the amazing things down there is Dunedin.
Pretty good plan D.
Oh.
Not even plan B?
Not plan B, no.
Not even C?
Not C, no.
Plan D.
And I get it.
You've gone D, Dunedin.
Dunedin, D.
I do get that.
I get it.
But you have positioned yourself so far down the list.
And I think it's Corona specific because you wanted to go to Dubai,
but you can't.
So you're like, well, I'll go to Dublin.
Yes.
And you can't.
So you're like, I'll go to bloody Dannyverk if I have to,
but you can't.
So you can go to Dunedin.
You're plan D.
Some people like it.
Some people hate it.
It's fine.
It's all right.
But I thought this is a great opportunity to run through some of the other terrible town slogans around New Zealand.
Because let's be honest, I don't know if a city has ever nailed their slogan.
I don't know who the people are who come up with these slogans.
I don't know them, so I want to hear them.
Yeah, right.
Okay.
I've also just come up with a few options for a few of the towns.
Okay, this is good because you won't know any of these.
Yeah. Because you've been here just over two years, so you won't know them. I do know quite a few options for a few of the towns. Okay, this is good because you won't know any of these because you've been here just over two years,
so you won't know them.
I do know quite a few places.
Yeah, you've been to the places, but will you know the slogan?
That's the question. No, I won't know the slogan.
Okay, and you won't know them all, but let's start with Featherston.
Have you been to Featherston?
I don't think so.
No, okay.
Well, Featherston's...
Keen to go, though.
Featherston's...
Well, maybe if you're after you hear this.
Sounds like a soft place.
Featherston's slogan is,
if you lived here, you'd be home by now.
I don't mind that
slogan. I'm from a
country town and I'm assuming this is
a nice, cute country town
which they're saying
don't spend too much time in traffic.
Oh, okay, maybe that's it. Why, what
do you think it was? I just like, it works for
anywhere. If you lived here you'd be home right now.
You could say that about a train station.
Or maybe they're saying that, you know, in Featherston,
it feels like a home.
Yeah, okay, sure.
Don't mind it.
No, cool, we can give Featherston the...
I'll give that one a thumbs up.
If you like it, it passes.
What about Foxton?
You've been to Foxton.
I have been to Foxton.
Okay, this is good.
What do you think the town slogan of Foxton is?
Is it, Foxton will blow you away.
No, why would Foxton blow you away?
Because they've got that big windmill.
Oh, the windmill.
No.
Foxton's slogan.
Ellie likes it.
She thinks it's not bad.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You give that one a good thumbs up?
Yeah, it's just the blow bit.
It's just.
What about Foxton?
Yeah.
This blows.
Foxton's town slogan is, Foxton, Yeah. This blows. Foxton's town slogan is Foxton, the Fox town.
I did.
That was my third choice actually.
So I see what they did there.
Te Puke.
Now I know you haven't been to Te Puke.
No, I haven't been.
Kiwi fruit country.
Oh, lovely.
Okay.
The slogan, because they make fruit, the slogan for Te Puke is stop and taste Te Puke.
But the problem is Te Puke is spelt Te Puke.
And Te means the.
So the slogan could be misconstrued as saying stop and taste the puke.
Yeah, no, they haven't thought that through.
Matamata, have you been to Matamata?
I have been to Matamata.
You have, you went there in the Venute.
I've been there quite a few times actually.
What do you think a good town slogan for Meta Meta would be?
What about Meta Meta?
Hobbiton.
That's it.
Which, I mean, you know, they don't need much more because Hobbiton is awesome.
Well, their current slogan is you Meta and Meta Meta.
Oh, I like that.
No, that's good.
That is good.
Have you been to Gore?
I haven't been to Gore but I've heard about it. Gore gets a hard time. I've heard about Gore, that's good. That is good. Have you been to Gore? I haven't been to Gore, but I've heard about it.
Gore gets a hard time.
I've heard about Gore.
It's the country music capital.
It's the brown trout capital.
What do you think is a good slogan for Gore?
I've got a couple for Gore.
Yeah, go on.
What about good slaw in Gore?
Have you been to Gore?
I heard they've got good coleslaw.
No, too specific.
What about Gore? Love doing not much? Come to Gore? I heard they've got good coleslaw. No, too specific. What about Gore?
Love doing not much?
Come to Gore.
Yeah, that is actually weirdly quite good, yeah.
Their actual slogan is,
a little bit wild, a little bit out there.
Gore.
Hey, it would bring me in.
If I saw that on a sign, I'd be stopping in at Gore.
Hamilton.
You've been to Hamilton?
I love Hamilton.
What's the perfect town slogan for Hamilton? I didn't write one for
Hamilton. Oh, okay. Well,
judging from the past, Hamilton.
Water so clear you can drink
it from the river.
It's factually incorrect.
Theirs is Hamilton more than you
expect. Which to me
means the bar is incredibly low.
They're like, Hamilton, it's better than
you think it's going to be. Hey, but who doesn't love an underdog?
Porirua.
I know I do.
What about Porirua?
Have you got a town?
I do.
Because Porirua's town slogan is shocking.
Okay.
What have you got for them?
Porirua.
Not the one with the LNP bottle.
Yeah, good, because that's Pairoa.
Exactly.
Different.
Different place.
Good for outsiders to differentiate.
Porirua's slogan is P-Town
Can you imagine
How bad having a town slogan
P-Town is
Why did they say P-Town?
I don't know, maybe they've got a pee problem
I'm sure you, I hope you don't
But you know.
