What's one thing That you learnt In like Your last three years Of high school That you legitimately use In everyday life Can you name one?

I did learn The rules of water polo And That has been pretty handy in a lot of circumstances. You'd be surprised. That's different because extracurricular sports, that's how you let off steam.

Right? And it does teach you things. It teaches you social things. Yes. How to scratch someone. How to beat up people in a swimming pool. Yep. Were you a sidebar? Were you a water polo person? I played it in HPE. I was a water polo person. Were you a water polo person? I played it in HPE. I was a water polo person. Were you?

Did you know the GST? What's that? Grab, squeeze, twist. No. Oh, yeah. Is that a male water polo thing? Yeah, generally. My school was very mixed.

We played against the girls. You know, this is... Oh, right. Interesting. And they used to GST, baby. Ouch. I bet. The rule is in water polo, anything that the ref can't see, aka under the water, is fine.

This is a true story. We did water polo as one of our term sports in senior PE. And I had to – this is no joke. One of my best friends, Beck, she played softball for Australia. She was very, very good at sport, like super sporty. At softball, at least. At softball. I had to save her in the water polo exam from drowning.

Really? No joke. She got a shit egg beater on her. She nearly drowned. Needless to say, she didn't get a good mark. No. Water polo is a great game. God, I'm just reminiscing on how good water polo was.

Is it though? Do you not think? It's like aqua soccer Were you one of the people Who could bounce it off the water? Yeah see I had a good throw I just couldn't do anything else Yeah

Were you a good swimmer? I know I did know that about you I was a good swimmer Just a terrible water polo player Oh you weren't good at water polo? No but I enjoyed being there Like it was What's your throw like?

Shocking I've never had a good set of guns on me. No, I did have a good set of guns on me for about three months. You've seen the photo. Oh, yeah. When I was single. Hang on, that doesn't sound right. That sounds like I got my guns by nefarious means.

I went to the gym a lot. I went to the gym a lot. No, you didn't. You told me. One of those arms looks bigger than the other. Yeah, your right arm. Yeah. No, never been good. Never had. No, you didn't. You told me. One of those arms looks bigger than the other. Yeah, your right arm. Yeah. No, never been good.

Never had. No, that's it. Anyway, that was the latest edition of politically charged memes with a meaning. You should play water polo again. You'd look good in that weird helmet thing I'm about to wear. Here's the podcast. Zed-Ams. Let's go.

Go, go. Now let me see you dance. Zed-Ams. Brie and Clint. Wait, where are we? What's the time zone? Let me have a look. What country are we in? Wait, is this? Feels like New Zealand to me, mate.

We're back. Hang on a second, hang on. I can't smell any weed at all. We must be back in New Zealand. Yeah. How did we get here? I can't even remember. at all. We must be back in New Zealand. Yeah. How did we get here? I can't even remember. Time machine.

Hi, everybody. We're just back from Los Angeles. We're here in Auckland. And we're just, I mean, last week, if you missed it, just a total success. That's all you need to know. Yeah, if you missed, if you're on holidays and you missed the show, big success.

Chasing Tatum. Just all you need to know, we succeeded. Everything went off without a hitch. Yeah, totally. I mean, it was great. Don't get the podcast. No, no, no. Take our word for it.

There's some videos on our Facebook page. I wouldn't watch those ones because, like I said, just know that. We met Jonah Hill. Yeah, he loved us. I mean, it was Chasing Tatum, just big success. He was desperate to come on the show. We had to be like, Jonah, please get off the show. Yeah, just success all round, really.

Everybody happy. Just huge, huge, huge amounts of success last week. So with that in the can, I guess we just move straight ahead, shall we? Today on the show, your chance to win another Samsung Galaxy S10. These guys are so good to us at the moment. We're going to tell you how you can win that very shortly. Plus, we're giving one away today with someone who did the Channing Tatum prediction of when we would meet him, which obviously we definitely did.

A hundred and twenty percent, no lie, definitely met him. Yep. Next, though, you want to talk about a snake. I want to tell you a reason why you should never move to Australia. Cool, okay. And it involves a snake. We'll do that after Dominic Fyke. Bree and Clint.

This is ZM. Bree and Clint, the podcast. ZM. Kiwi friends, lend me your ears and let me try and deter you from moving to Australia with this local news story. A rude awakening lay in store for Sally Stent when she felt something flicking her

face while she slept. When she finally opened her eyes, this is what greeted her. The forked tongue of a two metre python licking her forehead. Half its body was wrapped around the bedside table. I had to like just rub my eyes and be like, okay, I gotta double check this before I bolt out of my room.

Wait. So there was a randy ass snake in her bed licking her face. Like snake was a randy-ass snake in her bed, licking her face. Like, snake is one thing, but to get in the bed and start going, on your face? What are these snakes up to? Giving her a tonguey. She was like, I don't remember bringing you home. You look different at the nightclub.

It's like waking up next to Voldemort. He's like... Because that's how they smell. What? With their tongue. Oh, I thought you meant they smell to Voldemort. Because that's how they smell. What? With their tongue. Oh, I thought you meant they smell like Voldemort. I was like, how do you know what Voldemort smells like? I don't know.

Snakes smell with their tongue. Yeah. And they like touch things and yeah, that's how they smell. Just a quick snap poll. 9696 in the car. Are you enjoying the sound of tongue noises we're making? I'm a snake. And I'm in your bed.

That's one thing that I don't miss about living in Australia. Roll over. You're hugging all the duvet. We're so jet lagged. Do I have morning breath? Because you don't. I'm scared. Why do you sound like the snake from Harry Potter?

It's kind of what I was basing my character off. Oh, got it. No, you nailed it then. Cool, not going to Australia. No, don't go there. ZM Spree and Clint, the podcast. 44 minutes ago, posted to newshub.co.nz, woman carries cat up Mount Monganui in backpack.

Cat pack. Cat pack. So the cat. Why are you taking the cat up there? The cat, which for the cat aficionado's listening, looks like it could be a rag doll. It's definitely a pure breed of some sort. It has quite a smushed face. You know, they're expensive when they don't have a nose. Persian. Oh, Persian. Could be Persian. Could be Persian. It's in the backpack of a woman who's climbing Mount Maunganui The very famous walk that you and I did recently on the Venute tour Yes The backpack itself is made from perspex So it's like

See-through See-through, yeah I'd be sweaty in there for that No, lots of ventilation holes Okay So lots of breathing holes and also lots of visibility Another mount walker has taken the photo from behind Lots of ventilation holes. Okay. So lots of breathing holes and also lots of visibility. Another Mount Walker has taken the photo from behind of the woman who's taking the cat up there and it's gone to the news

and now it's going viral. So now we ask the question, and I didn't know we were going to be asking this question, but it is 2019 after all. Is it okay to take your cat up Mount Maunganui? Get a dog. Honestly, if you want to take your animal on treks and hikes and walks, there's an animal that's really good for that, and it's a dog.

Or a goat. Goats are quite good too. Quite like hills too. Mountain goats. I counter your argument with what if you have a very inquisitive cat? What if you have a cat that every time you leave the house, he's like, where are you going? What are you up to? What are you doing?

I'm keen to come and see what you're doing. Name one cat that you've seen have a cat that every time you leave the house, he's like, where are you going? What are you up to? What are you doing? I'd like to, I'm keen to come and see what you're doing. Name one cat that you've seen on a leash that you've thought, oh, that cat's really enjoying that walk. No, I don't have one of those. Remember that time I saw that cat in Ponsonby having a cat latte? No, wasn't it a

catacino? A catacino, that's right. Yeah, but that's Ponsonby. Those cats are very fancy. Like that cat was probably the reincarnation of a very rich socialite. The cat sent it back because it had too much chocolate on top. Is that what it was? Yeah. Okay, do you want to see the cat before you make your final judgment

on whether this is okay? Now this is visual, but I want you to picture a cat in a backpack climbing Mount Munganui. What a catastrophe. The cat. Yeah, no,unganui. What a catastrophe. The cat. Yeah, no, that'll do. That's good. Bree and Clint, the podcast.

ZM, live from Hollywood with our man on the ground, Dean McCarthy. Spy.co.nz. Spent a whole week with him last week in LA. Dean, we miss you. I miss you more. Come back. It's not the same. Dean, we miss you. I miss you more. Come back. It's not the same.

It's not the same. Can you tell us that it's like raining and thunderstorms over there and LA is really just at suns now? Snow. Blowing a gale. Well, make it believable, Dean. Jeez.

Hey, tell us about Meghan Markle snubbing Donald Trump while he's in the UK. This is so brilliant. So you may have seen Donald Trump is, of course, with Melania Trump, and they are touring the official UK visit, the Queen, Prince Charles, all of them there to meet and greet the President and the First Lady of America, except for Meghan Markle. Here's the best bit of all, right?

Her excuse, I'm with the baby. No, so busy. I'm at home with the baby. No, so busy. I'm at home with the baby. They would have literally 180 nannies. Yeah. Like as if she couldn't get an hour. I'm pretty sure we could figure someone out to look after the baby. She has just avoided the truth.

Harry actually took the president and his wife around the grounds, like for a little tour. But Meghan is, yeah, pretending that she's tied up, busy. Sorry, BRB, busy. Be right back. Can't do it. That's good. I love it.

That's the proper use of a new baby, avoiding annoying orange men. If you use your baby for one thing, use it for that, right? That's what all babies should be used for. I need a baby. Dean, also, the first rapper billionaire. Tell us more about this. Who is it? Here's the deal about this.

This is so crazy. So Jay-Z is the first billionaire rapper. Now, we all thought it was Dr. Dre, of course, because you may have seen when he sold Beats by Dre, the rumor was he sold it for $3 billion. He didn't. He sold it for $800 million. Poor guy.

Real broke. Real struggling. Jay-Z, billion bucks. Let me tell you some of his assets because this is so fabulous. A $300 million champagne company, $70 million worth of Uber. I didn't know Jay-Z had a huge chunk of Uber. There you go. $70 million worth of artwork, $50 million worth of houses, fabulous,

$200 million cash, and Tidal, they reckon Tidal's worth $100 million. I don't believe that. I don't believe that. Although the only way I could believe it is it's so blimmin' expensive to have Tidal that if they've got 15 members. It's four subscribers. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's probably put Jay-Z over the top.

Yeah, pretty much. Hey, do you guys know who else bought shares in Uber? No. You know Lance Armstrong. Ashton Kutcher. Oh, Ashton Kutcher as well. Lance Armstrong, the guy who won how many Tour de France's because he cheated?

Yeah. He was about to go broke and he spent his last, I think it was like 100k in shares of Uber just as it was starting out. And that's the only reason he's not broke today. Wow. Oh, isn't it nice to hear a good story about Lance Armstrong? About time that guy had some good luck, eh? I just feel so good for him. Hey, tomorrow I'll tell you about the other Armstrong and what he's doing.

What's his name? Neil. Neil. I get those two mixed up. That's Dean McCarthy, live from Hollywood. He's our Hollywood correspondent. Thanks, Dean. Spires brought to you by Samsung.

The Samsung Galaxy S10 is the next generation Galaxy. ZM's Bree and Clint, the podcast. ZM, Bree and Clint. that is brand new Katy Perry. Dropped on Friday while we were still in LA. It's called Never Really Over. I really like it. You still like it? You've had a few days to listen to it now?

No, it's catchy. I really like it. I think she's back. I think she might be too. Well, let's see what she releases after this. Let's not get ahead of ourselves. She could still do another Bon Appetit, baby. True.

When we played that song. I'm back. Get me goes. Come on. Come on board. When we played that song last week for the first time, there was a few people on the text machine who texted in and they said, oh, that sounds so similar to a song that Broods released earlier this year.

Okay. Hospitalised, it's called. Yeah, I know this song. Off Don't Feed the Pop Monster. Exactly, their latest album. And we love to do this on our show. We love a comparison, don't we? We love to figure out if big deal stars are stealing their music

from little known Kiwis. Exactly, because it's not okay. And we've got that comparison for you this afternoon. Let's listen to Katy Perry's first. Okay. Catchy. Do you reckon she takes a breath in there at all? I don't know. Sing along.

Yeah. And then let's listen to Broods, Hospitalised. Ooh. Georgia. Caleb. Ooh. Georgia and Caleb. Georgia and Caleb. I think you got a lawsuit. So you go in because there's the,

because you could go, oh, it's just white girls rapping. But they go in twice. They both go in twice with the same cadence and the same. Which is very unusual in a pop song. Like that was very noticeable to me in that Katy Perry song.

It stands out. Broods are famous too. They're famous in the States. People know who broods are. They live in LA. There's no reason that Katy Perry couldn't have been at the back of a broods concert with a big rubber nose on and a trench coat going, oh, Katy likey. Just like him bring it on where they go and source the dances from that other school.

Yeah. We've got a very talented audio producer on our team. DJ Ben. Producer Ben. And he's done a mash-up of Katy Perry's new song and Broods' song. Just because it's over doesn't mean it's really over. And if I think it over, maybe I'll be coming over again. And I'll have to get over you all over again. Now, DJ Ben, in your expert audio opinion, were they easy to slot together? Did they go together easily?

Super, super easy. They're almost the same beat. So if we're going to proceed with this lawsuit on behalf of Caleb and Georgia from Broods. Happy to front it. I was going to say it needs to be. Bree and Clint from Broods. Happy to front it. I was going to say it needs to be on. Bree and Clint, the podcast. ZM. Last week in LA,

had my phone stolen the first night on the trip. And I slowly realised that I couldn't get in touch with my mum because she doesn't have Facebook, she doesn't have Instagram, she doesn't have WhatsApp. The only way my mum and I can communicate is by text and phone call. How good is that?

Your mum is the subject of all of your videos and she's probably never seen one. She doesn't have Facebook. She calls it the Facebook. Yeah. Oh, good. She goes, I've heard. She said to me one time, she's like, I heard I'm big on this Facebook. Am I big on the Facebook? Am I? If you're listening, Mumadai, probably best you don't sign up because some of the videos are not good. Oh, she... They're good. I mean, they're just mostly you getting farted on. If that's what you're into, God, there's a great website you should sign up to. It's called Facebook. And you should follow Bree.

I don't know what my mum's Facebook profile would be like if she got on the Facebook, but let's ask her. What would her picture be? Probably a picture of the dog, I'd say. We can ask her. She's here. Mumma Di. Hello, Mum.

Hi, guys. I've missed you big time. Haven't spoken to you for ages because my phone got stolen. I know, Brianna. How slack is that of you, though? I mean, there are other ways. What other ways, Mum? How was I?

A homing pigeon? Well, you could use Clint's phone. Oh, yeah, no, you've got a good point. Could have gone to one of those nice, clean-looking LA phone boxes. Yeah, they look so sterile. You know the ones that that guy was sleeping in? Yeah, that's right. Yeah, he was hosing it down with something.

Mum, we were busy, alright? We just wanted to call you up and, you know, see how you are. What's happening on the farm in country Queensland? Oh, guys, I got some news. I mean, it's been amazing, the weather. We've had a top of five here today. Five.

And a little bit of snow, which we're all excited about, but it's absolutely freezing. Mum, you do like to gauge how cold it is on one thing and one thing alone. Do you remember what that is? Yes, the dog bowl is definitely frozen over. Right. Actually, do you mind if we make this official?

Because we're going to news style. Have you ever been on TV before, Mum and I? Only for some ads. Mum, didn't you want to be a weather girl back in the day? No problem. We're going to cross live to you now. Hang on a second. Bree's the news anchor.

She's going to throw it in. Yeah. Oh, we are getting reports of some severe weather warnings in Stanthorpe, Australia. Let's cross live now to weather girl on the ground, Duane. Duane, come in. You're on the ground there in Stanthorpe. Can you give us an update?

Hi, guys. Look, I'm here in reaction and the snow is starting to fall and you freeze the balls off a brass monkey here at the moment. It's absolutely freezing. Do the dog bowl bat. Do the dog bowl bit. Do the dog bowl bit. The dog bowl has well and truly frozen over and it is officially one degree. Yeah, I don't know if TV and Zed

are going to give you the call up. No, you've got to wrap her up. Oh, come on. Wrap it up. Give us your classic sign off. Morning. No big sign-off. Morning. No, sign-off. You've got to say,

this is Mama Di reporting live from Stanthorpe, Australia. This is Mama Di live reporting from Queensland, Australia. I like it. She had pace. She had accuracy. She had meteorologic knowledge. Plus, she's a hell of a sexy weather girl, I reckon. I will always remember.

ZM Spree and Clint, the podcast. I'm going to make a blanket statement right here. Some of the most delicious food you can eat comes from the dodgiest of establishments. It's true. Those little hole-in-the-wall places, you know in that movie Bridesmaids? Yes. And she goes, I'm going to take you to this Brazilian place. It's this, you know, really off-the-beaten-track restaurant,

but the food's amazing. And you know you're taking your life into your own hands with every mouthful, but the flavour is so good. Plus you often feel like you're the only one who knows about it because these places don't advertise. There's no billboards for these places. Word of mouth. You've got to hear about it through word of mouth.

Then someone's got to tell you about someone who's been there and this thing that they've had and, oh, my God, you've got to try the hand-pulled noodles, right? It's so good. Every year, every council around the country releases food hygiene standards. And this is a good thing. It's where they go in and they review the cooking conditions of that place and say, hey, are these guys okay to serve food?

It's kind of like that show Gordon Ramsay's on, but it's just not broadcast. It's like that, except a British guy doesn't yell at you. They just give you a thing that says D. This isn't okay. This isn't okay. Do you ever look? Do you ever go in and look at what?

No, me neither. I never noticed that stuff. No. And sometimes, I think I have noticed it before as I'm leaving because legally you have to display it, not just put it up and you can't put it behind the Coke machine. So it's your standard, right? It has to be shown.

You have to have an A, B, C, D or E on the wall. Would it change your mind? This is what I want to talk about. So 18 food joints around Auckland have just received an E. We're not going to name any of them. A, B, C, D. It's quite a way down the chain. E's not good.

E is not good. It's for things if you get an E then the council deems you to be at critical risk and they will close you down if the issues aren't fixed. Some of the things are unsatisfactory cleaning procedures that goes for dishes, cleaning services, cooking services,

all of that, and pest control. So we're talking rats, mice, and cockroaches. Cockroaches are the big one. Does it change my opinion on it? Now, that's a very interesting question. Would you not eat there if you walk into a place and you see that they've got a D rating? Would you go, oh, I'm not going to eat here.

Have I eaten there before? Yes. And I've been fine? It's been fine. I didn't get food poisoning? Totally fine. I'd be angry that I saw the D. Yeah.

Hang on, hang on, hang on. You never want to see the D, do you? I'd be angry that I saw the rating because ignorance is bliss. I've been eating it for ages and I've been fine. You can eat the D, but you don't want to, you know. Wash it first. The same goes. Excuse me.

Okay. Close it down. Yeah, yeah. Give it a shower first. Once I know I can't eat it. I can't eat it. Really? Yeah, yeah.

I don't want to know. I don't want to know because, like I said, the best food comes from the worst places sometimes, so it guts me when I actually see it. Ignorance is bliss. Can you eat it? Say this is the most fire pasta you've ever had. It's creamy.

It's rich. The chicken inside it is juicy. The bacon is salty, but they have an e-hygiene rating. Can you still eat it? I mean, technically cockroaches is meat. Brie and Clint, the podcast. ZM. I want to talk about this story coming out of the UK

where a woman has successfully sued the university she attended after she argued that the course failed to deliver the chance of a rewarding job prospect. Okay. So this woman said she went to this uni, studied a business degree, which they said afterwards she'd have a heap of job prospects. Yeah. No jobs available. Can they do that?

Look, it's been quite a long time in the courts, but she's finally triumphed and she's been awarded £61,000, which is about over $100,000. Is it more than her course fees? Yes. Yeah, okay. That's interesting because there's some dodgy institutions, I'll say, out there who promise you the world,

like come here and you'll be a movie there, who promise you the world, like, come here and you'll be a movie star, that sort of thing, which I don't agree with. But at the same time, if you go to a university, I've never seen one guarantee, they say, if you take this course, you will be a success. Which I don't think they guaranteed it. But I mean, I think about my time at uni and the two degrees that I have

and I'm just going to – have I used them? No. I can't believe you've got two degrees. You're the most qualified unqualified person I've ever met. Did you do them concurrently or at the same time? Same time. So I combined them. Did you have two graduations?

No, just one. So one is in journalism. Yeah. And the other one is in chiropractor? Physio, physio. No, it's PR. Oh, PR. Yeah.

What about the physio thing you were doing? No, I studied that first and then decided it wasn't for me. Who's this PR physio journalist, eh? You're like, I'm going to get to the bottom of strapping tape if it's the last thing I do. I can't believe I spent so much time in my life and then I've never used that degree.

Be more like me, mate. Look at me. Look at me. No degree, no worries. That's my motto. No, I'm going to get on a t-shirt. No degree, no worries. But you went to uni though

and then didn't finish so you still have the bill. Excuse me. I went to polytech. Same. It's worse. Still counts. Still counts. Yeah, I went to Polytech. Same, still counts. Yeah, I have the bill. You still got the bill. But the bill's slightly smaller than if I didn't drop out

six months early, you know? So who's laughing now? Let's do a team check about who's got a degree. Let's go to Producer Ellie first. Producer Ellie. Do you have a degree? Kia ora, yes I do. And what's the degree in obviously radio or graphic design?

Video production. Nope, psychology. So you're clearly not using that degree. Well, I deal with you guys each day so I kind of am a little bit. Alright mate, that's a stretch. I feel physically and mentally targeted by what you're saying.

Well, that's how that makes me feel too. Let's go to Producer Ben. Producer Ben, I know you've got a degree, right? I do have a degree, yes. And what's it in? Radio. Oh, well done. Oh, nice work, mate.

She's actually using their degree. Let's be fair though, you went to the same place as me. Yes, you were talked about. Don't be like him, guys. He was used as an example. I've always wanted to be a cautionary tale. Am I a cautionary tale? No, I was joking, obviously.

Oh. They're not even using you for that. They wouldn't put me on the website. Well, I think, I would have put my hand up and say, I think Producer Ben is the exception to the rule. In what way? I just think there's so many people that would be out there listening right now going, I've got a degree, never used it.

I want to hear from those people this afternoon. On 0800DIALZM or you can text us if you feel embarrassed, which you shouldn't be because we're all doing it. Yeah. Have you got a degree and are you not using it? 0800DIALZM. ZM Spree in Clint, the podcast. Do you have a degree that you've never used and are not planning on using?

Brand new degree. Like if you were selling it on Trade Me, you would say brand new, unused, still in original packaging. How good would that be if you could sell it? By a secondhand degree. Yeah? Yeah. I would definitely be keen for that. Like a gym membership.

You know how you can sell your gym membership? You can sell the remainder on to other people? Love it. Why can't you do that? Oh, because you don't have any knowledge. Yeah. Me personally, I've got two degrees. I'm just going to check not using either.

Not using a single one. I've still got the bill though. Me, no degrees. Also not. Well, you can't use them if you don't have them. And we're asking you, what's the degree you're not using, Jessie? So I have a degree in personal training, and I don't use it, and I currently work for a food importer.

So we import pasta and cheeses, desserts, wine, all that sort of lovely stuff. Jessie, you've definitely taken the right career path in my opinion. Yeah, I think you have too. Just don't let any of them know about your past life. It's like you're a double agent. You are a double agent. All right. They actually all do know and ask me for advice,

and I'm like, look, I can't help you, sorry. That must be the most punishing thing about being a personal trainer. People are like, oh, could you help me work out a meal plan? Oh, yeah, for free. Can you pay me? Jessie, how much did your degree cost? About, oh, I think it was between five to ten grand.

That's not bad. Money well spent. Not too bad. Money well spent. Chalk it up to experience. Hi, Chai. Hello. Hi.

What's the degree you're not using? I have a diploma in beauty therapy. Right. And what are you currently doing for a job? I work at a horse stud in Matamata. Hey, a lot of waxing could be done at that horse stud, Chai. Am I right? There's a lot of beautification involved.

You've got to do those horse ponytails and stuff. Yeah, we've got to do those horse ponytails and stuff. Horses? Yeah, we've got to do the grooming and making them pretty. You've got to do nails. They're horse nails. You do the hooves. Hooves, that's the word I'm looking for. They do love a French braid, the horses.

Yeah. Oh, not our ones. Can you spray tan a horse? I mean, I'm just spitballing here. I'm trying to get you some more cred for your degree, Chai. What a different career path. Let's go to Steph. Hey, Steph.

Hi. Steph, what's the degree you have? I've got a degree in radio communication. All right. Oh, congratulations. Technically, she's using it right now. And technically, Steph, you're more qualified to do this job than I am. I know.

Well, yeah. No, I haven't used it. What are you doing now? I work in insurance. It wasn't supposed to be a career job, but it's just how it panned out. I was always going to go back to it, but here I am 10 years later.

It's your insurance policy, if you will. It's the same with me. I was always going to be an Irish tap dancer. Yeah, there's still time. And I'm planning to go back to it. There's still time. Steph, wait there for a second. Just hang on the line for a second. We're going to go to Megan last. Hi, Megan. Hi. What's the degree you're not using, Megan? I've got a few.

Well, I've got a few pieces of paper that I'm not using. Oh no, what are they? I've got a Bachelor of Science. Okay. A postgraduate diploma in conservation biology, and a postgraduate diploma in engineering. Oh my God, and what do you currently do? Funny story, I'm working full-time and I'm also studying doing another degree. Now keep chalking them up, that's good.

That's the way to go. You've got to work in one of the degrees eventually, don't you? The more degrees you have, the more money you don't have. Brie and Clint, the podcast. ZM. 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. You know the game. We go on Instagram, we look at how many followers celebrities have, and then we try and guess that number in a head-to-head battle. Ten games to nine, Brie. Did you hear recently that apparently by the end of this month, they're really trying to push getting rid of visible likes on Instagram?

God, that's going to make this game hard, isn't it? Maybe we can play how many photos has this celebrity posted? Don't know if it has the same ring to it, but we'd better get cracking then before we have to cancel this game. Ellie is here. She has the celebrities for us. It's first to three correct answers. All right, your first celebrity.

She's just dropped new music. Miley Cyrus. Running a very raunchy Instagram at the moment too. Yeah, she is. She's really taking it up a notch. All right, for Miley Cyrus, Clint, you've put $40 million. Brie, you've put $27 million. Miley Cyrus has $94.2 million.

I know, right? Point to Clint. That's a big deal. Yeah, cool. I didn't realise she had that many. I know. That's a lot.2 million. Whoa. I know, right? Quentin Clint. That's a big deal. Yeah, cool. I didn't realise she had that many. I know. That's a lot. It is.

Justin Bieber's up around the 100 million. He's more like the 130s, I think. Oh, there you go. He's in the super category. But I mean, what's a couple of million between friends? Exactly, right? It's true. All right, your next celeb.

I'd be happy with a cool 50 million. Yeah, that'd be nice. Yeah, that'd be fun. Yeah, that'd be really nice. Your next celeb is Lizzo. Oh, Lizzo. Love Lizzo. Do you follow her?

I do follow her. I love her handle. Lizzo be eaten. I know. Lizzo be eaten. Be eating, yeah. Lizzo be eaten. All right, for Lizzo, Clint, you've put $1.9 million.

Bree, you've put $4.4 million Bree, you've put 4.4 million. Lizzo has 1.4 million. Another point to Clint. Damn. Oh, she's 2-0 up in here. This is where I normally... Where? Yeah.

Up in here? Sorry, I thought I was just listening to an R&B track then. Where is it? Up in here. Up in here. Up in here. All right, your next one. Wait, did you just lose your mind?

Wait, one of your teeth has just turned gold. Up in here. All right, your next one is a New Zealand group, and they've just announced the New Zealand tour, which ZM are presenting. It's the Drax Project boys. Oh, I love the Drax Project. Well, they didn't help us

with that bloody pizza challenge, did they? Yeah. I think they helped. They ate more than we did. They definitely did. How much for Drax? All right, for Drax Project,

Clint, you put $30,000. Oh, I want to change my answer. No, I'll keep my answer. Oh, you can't. Bree, you put $49,000. Drax Project want to change my answer. No, I'll keep my answer. It's fine. You can't. Bree, you put 49,000. Drax Project have 46,600. Brilliant. Point to Bree.

Boom. Sorry, I was going to change it to lower, but that's fine. Cool. Okay, all right. 2-1. 2-1. Okay, your next one is Halsey. Halsey.

Halsey. I don't follow her. What's her handle? I am Halsey. Oh, no, I do follow her. What's her handle? I am Halsey. Oh, no, I do follow her. Oh, you do? Oh, that's triggered something there, hasn't it? All right, for Halsey, Clint, you put $12 million.

Bree, you put $6.7 million. Halsey has $13.8 million. It's a game to Clint. Damn it. Yeah, we're in there. All right, cool. That makes it 10 games all. Yeah.

It's all tied up. It's so close this year. I know. It is. Are you cheating this year like you cheated last year? I actually am not. But maybe I should. Yeah, you need to. ZM Spree and Clint The Podcast. The biggest movie

in the world right now belongs to Elton John and Rocketman. Rocketman burning out his dreams all day long. The Elton John and Rocketman. The Elton John story of his music and his life played by that guy from Kingsman. Taron Egerton. Tarrot Egerton. Taron.

Taron. Taron. Taron. Egerton. Taron Egerton. I think I'm saying it right. I hope you're saying it right. I don't know why I'm teaching you.

You're teaching me, so I hope you're saying it right. I thought I saw him in LA last week Yeah Did you go and get a photo? I yelled Well producer Ellie and I were in an Uber And I was like I need to check Because he was walking across the road

Because he was in LA He was in town to do Jimmy Kimmel Yeah Put down the window Darren! Nah didn't turn around Producer Ben and I thought we saw Bradley Cooper. We raced after his car.

It almost had a car accident. And then you showed me a video of it, and the guy's got a full arm sleeve tattoo. Alright, this is about Rocket Man. I saw it last night. It is very good. I want to see it really bad. You've got to see it.

Not going to do any spoilers, but I will say it's a lot more musical than I expected. So I was going and expecting... No, no, no. You know it's about Elton musical than I expected. So I was going and expecting... No, no, no, no, no. You know it's about Elton John, right? I know that. But I was going and expecting it to be more like the Queen one where they play the songs, like they show their gigs and stuff.

This one's more of an actual musical. So the dialogue is replaced by songs in some places. It's very good. Taron Egerton makes a fantastic Elton John. And he does all his own singing. Yeah, yeah, that's the other bit. Which is incredible. It's not lip synced.

He does his own version of them. And to the point, he's so good that by the end of it, they put on some real Elton John over the credits. And you go, oh, is that what he, I forgot what he sounded like. Because he's so good. He's so convincing with his performance. Elton John came out and said that. Elton John came out?

Yeah, have you not heard? Sorry, continue. No, he came out and said that he reckons Taron Egerton is one of the best performers to sing his songs ever. Well, that's a nice thing to say. At least he didn't say it the other way. This is interesting because obviously the story is about a gay man in the 70s and 80s. What?

Yeah, I know. Is he? No. I know I said no spoilers, but I think the shirts would have given it away. Well, you've ruined it for me. And his journey through that. So, obviously it's not the, it wasn't the easiest time to be gay in the 70s. No. And so all of that stuff is in there. It's a very raw

honest story. It's not going to be shown that way in every country. And Russia are currently showing a censored version of Rocket Man. How can they do that? Russia, of all the progressive, inclusive countries there are out there. They're so forward thinking. I know. I would have thought Russia at least

would be able to tell Elton John's story in all its fabulous glory but no, turns out no. That'd be like seeing The Lion King but taking out the part

where Mufasa dies. That's exactly what it is. You're taking out a core part of the story. Just like when China pretended that Freddie Mercury wasn't gay

in Bohemian Rhapsody. Come on guys. Come on guys. It's a pretty central part of the movie. It's kind of the plot line. Also, if you take out all the gay stuff in Rocketman, it's a very short movie. I bet.

This probably goes for about eight minutes. It's a really short movie. But that's, I mean, I'm not going to say it's fine because I don't agree with it, but, I mean, it needs a trailer, right? Yep. Every movie needs a trailer, and if you're going to take that stuff out of the storyline,

it kind of changes the trailer first. We've both had a go at it. Who wants to go first? Who wants to present their Russian straight Rocket Man trailer? I'll go first. All right, cool. I'll set you up. Here you go.

Here's my trailer for the censored version of Rocket Man that's being shown in Russia. The story of one man. One super flamboyant, definitely not gay, completely straight, eccentric, mask manly man. His music and his rise from the bottom to the top of music. Definitely nothing else, just music. Straight men, straight ladies, and all the heterosexual humans, but definitely no gay people. They don't exist, ever. Elton John

in cinemas now. Rocket Man. It's good. I want to see it. Sounds nice and straight, just how I like it. Can I have a go at this? Drive my hold in there. I'm just going to give this a go.

Go on, go on. This is my straight trailer for Russian Rocket Man. Should I do a Russian accent? No, don't. No, no, no, no, no. All right, here we go. Here we go. Okay.

Welcome to the story of Reginald Kenneth Dwight, a ginger kid from England who's pretty good at the piano. No, he's very good at the piano. No, he's very good at the piano. Watch as he changes his name, marries a woman who he definitely loves. Loves women, can't get enough of those cool, cool women. Mm-mm, give me some more women. Puts out some songs and maintains his purely heterosexual relationships with the men in his life. This is Rocketman.

Rocketman, burning out his fuse of heroin. I never realised Elton John was such a ladies' man. I used to go to Russia. I think it's gonna be all right. Brie and Clint, the podcast. ZM. We all woke up to some pretty drastic news this morning that Apple are shutting down iTunes.

iTunes, the software which changed the music industry, single-handedly closed the record store industry, is no more. They're going to get rid of it. And also the place that charges way too much for episodes of the Kardashians. Also when you go on there to rent a movie and there's the option to buy it. Oh it's such

a load of bull. Who's buying a movie? Oh I do. You buy them? Yeah. You buy a download? Well I always weigh it up so I've got Apple TV and then I'll weigh it up whether renting it or like buying it. Yeah. Which is better. Rent it.

Yeah, but what about- How many times are you watching Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants? I love that movie. Yeah, but you've got to watch it like- You'd have to watch it seven times to make it worthwhile. I can't remember re-watching multiple movies that I've bought off iTunes. When iTunes came out, in New Zealand at least, the internet still sounded like this. Get off the phone!

I'm using the phone! Brianna? Hello? Can you hear me? The sad bit is there's going to be a whole generation of people who don't know what that sound is. That's the sound of the internet coming through your telephone. Also death.

So they've said they're going to get rid of iTunes. Kind of makes sense when you think about it. Who's buying music these days? Apart from DJs and that sort of thing. You just stream it, right? You just stream it. So they're going, it's redundant. iTunes app will go away.

It will be split out into three new apps, Apple Podcasts, Apple Music, and Apple TV. So that's movies and – because they're getting their own streaming thing too. Is that just a way for them to make more money? Possibly. Possibly. It's a way for them to give you more apps as well, which is annoying.

They have said, and this is a bit of a warning, that if you have lots of ripped music on your iTunes that you have on there that you can't get anywhere else, there's a risk that when you do the update, that music could disappear. No one's ripping music. They're all buying it. Legally, contractually.

I'm just saying. From iTunes. It's not a bad idea to do a bit of a backup. Hypothetically. Hypothetically, before that happens. But I'm sure everyone has bought all of their music legally. Legally, absolutely. Contractually. I didn't think there would come a day when

iTunes would go away. That's weird, isn't it? But when you think about it, everything goes. Everything has a season, Brie. There's a lot of things it? But when you think about it, everything goes. Everything has a season, Brie. There's a lot of things that have been big at one time and then they've RIP'd. RIP'd. This is RIP iTunes. This is RIP.

And I've never got to say goodbye to everything that I've loved in the past. And maybe today we have that opportunity, you and I, to say farewell to the things that we no longer have. Do you mind if I begin? I'd just like to say, RIP to CDs. I mean, I still have about 700 of you and I don't know what to do with you. I don't even know if I can recycle you. People say, hey, hand them down to your children. They'd love to listen to them like a time capsule. But I'll be very surprised if my children

want to listen to Limp Bizkit in the year 2035. Rest in peace, CDs. Just off the back of that, I'd like to say RIP to Blu-rays, DVDs, VHSs, cassettes, but not vinyl Because that's cool again Yeah that is cool It's very cool actually

While we're here and we're saying goodbye I'd just like to take this opportunity to Say RIP to Haytel and the Viber app Remember those days? Free calling And the ability to walkie-talkie each other. What I

won't miss is the sound of a very personal conversation between myself and a friend playing out on loudspeaker in front of my grandma to hear, and most of the time it was sexual. RIP Viber and RIP WhatsApp.

Hate hell. RIP to my Viber. It.I.P. WhatsApp. Hate hell. R.I.P. to my Viber. It was something other than an app. No, not vibe. Oh, different. R.I.P. to you, MSN. Those late nights waiting for your crush to come on, just hanging out only for them to come on and then sign out without you getting to speak to them.

And then yelling at your mum, I'm still on MSN! No, call Aunty Cheryl later! I'm talking to my friends! Feels good to get it out, doesn't it? Can I just quickly say RIP to all the old phone chargers I've still got in my drawer? I don't think I'm ever going to use you. But you might need them.

But one day I might want to charge my phone from five years ago. RIP to all those phone chargers. RIP to my top eight on MySpace. None of those people are my top eight anymore. But they were at one point. We invite you now to throw some dirt on the coffin of iTunes as we lower it into the ground. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.

I spent a lot of goddamn money on this app and now I don't know what's going to happen to any of it. All right, Peter, all those mixes I did on iTunes. Summer of 2004. We take your birthdays, figure out what was number one on your 16th, and then we play one of those songs. We play the best one of those songs. Yes.

The mother boys don't know how to act. Vintage JT, sexy back. You've got to be happy with that, Emma. Yeah, of course. That was so big, that song.

Yeah, definitely competition tonight. Definitely competition tonight. Okay. I just want to go to one person that's sitting on the line at the moment. Usually three people. Usually, yep. But my mum I just wanted to get on the line just to see what her thoughts were on tonight's birthday banger. Mama Di, obviously you're here to vote for Justin Timberlake. Mate, that is absolutely disgusting.

It's Morris, Barry, Gibb. Come on, Brianna, you should know that. And Robin. Robin, there's the other one. Oh, my God. You forgot it as well. I just respect that. Oh, mate, if you don't play Staying Alive, that's it.

It's over. Yeah? Well, I have got really bad... Oh, my God. I do love that Justin Timberlake song. Yeah, I've got really bad news for you, Emma Dye, because I think Bri and I are in agreeance that it's 60 times... No, no, no, no, no, no.

top three birthday bangers of all time for me. Bee Gees. Yep. That is my childhood right there. The amount of times I saw my mum and dad in a competition disco dance thrusting with that song. Oh, it's burnt onto my retinas. Who knew the Bee Gees were Australian, by the way?

Well, they were technically born in England. Right. But they lived in Redcliffe. There's a text here that says, Brie, you call yourself an Australian. The Bee Gees are Barry, Robin and Morris. Who the F is Michael? Oh, come on. I had a brain

explosion. I know the other one too, Andy Gibb. She's still here, Mama Di. Are you still here? Oh my God. Of course I am. And I'm so glad, Brianna, you've brought yourself back. You remembered Andy. Yep. Can't forget Andy

Oh my god We gotta go We gotta go We gotta go Oh my god RIP mum and dad Thank you so much You're welcome You're welcome All day here on ZM, but... Oh, my God. We've got to go. We've got to go. We've got to go. Oh, my God. R.I.P. Thank you so much. You're welcome.

You're welcome. Bree and Clint, the podcast. ZM. I don't know about you, but I'm really, like, quite concerned about the state of the world as far as the environment goes. Well, when we were in L.A. last week, there's literally that much pollution in that city. It just is a permanent haze. You can't see from one side to the other. We were up at the Hollywood

sign and you couldn't see across the city. Like downtown looked like it was stranded in smoke, but it was just exhaust fumes. So obviously, and this is not going to be preachy by the way, I promise. This is it's advice, okay? Everybody needs to do their bit to fight

global warming. You, Clinton Roberts, you're never preachy. Excuse me. I have the environment in mind. I have a child on the way and I have a vested interest in making sure the planet survives. The amount of times I've heard, is that a plastic straw you're using? Well, what do you need a straw for? Is that a plastic?

Oh, another plastic bag. What do you need a plastic? Get a reusable bag. No, it's fine. I'm changing. This one's easier than that, okay? Oh, another plastic bag. What do you need? Get a reusable bag. No, it's fine. I'm changing. This one's easier than that. Okay? Everybody can do this. Because they're the big ones at the moment, hey. There's a study been published by the Guardian and they have

said to tackle climate change the world needs to work much, much shorter weeks. So we need to go to work for less hours. About time I jumped on board this climate change bandwagon, I think. Think about it. Because the amount of pollution generated just getting to work

and then getting back from work, and you triple it, you do it across everybody, plus you're all going at the same time so that it slows traffic down. It's just compounding the issue. And if we go to work less, there'll be less pollution. Here's an idea. Three day weekends. Yeah, that'll help. We just had one

and I find the air is much clearer. You're going to poo your pants when you hear what the suggestion is for this. So this is a real report done by climate scientists and they've suggested for Europe alone, the working week should be reduced to nine hours.

They are smart, those scientists. Nine hours. They do know. Nine hours of work a week. I've always said they know what they're talking about. And it's not selfish. It's saving the planet. Exactly.

That's exactly what it is. We need to do our bit. And that's why I've gone ahead. We're a forward-thinking company here at ZM. You know, we like to... We've got the rainbow tick. We've got the rainbow tick. Of course, we did the bisexuality here.

We're all about the future. We're all about changes. That's why I've brought on the most progressive boss there is, Ross Boss. Good afternoon. What's going on? Can you hear us out? Yeah.

Just two shows a week. You know, it means you'd have to do more than. Just two shows a week. You'd have to do more than nine hours of work a week. Oh, we can't hear you. You're breaking up. Sometimes you read a story on the internet and it's a little bit hard to believe. But I want to tell you about this story I read this morning and it's about a female living in London.

Her name is Chloe Matthews and she's on the dating scene at the moment. She's single. Go, Chloe. Go, Chloe. Good for you, girl. She went out to a nightclub and she met a fellow. Congratulations, Chloe. They were at the bar.

They were talking. He's bought her a couple of drinks. The night was flowing. At the end of the conversation, when they hung out for a bit, she's given him her number, which I mean, great. Classic move. You can catch up again. Awesome. It's the conversation that was over text the next day that I find really hard to believe.

Okay. And I want to read you out the conversation. It's pretty short. Sure. But this is how it went. Okay. Chloe's got a 33. Sorry. 15.

I've got a very old text sound effect. That is so old. Do we have a new one? Yeah. Okay. That's the same one. Nah, it sounded different to me. Sounded like a...

Do we have an updated... That one sounded polyphonic. Updated version. Yeah. I'm it sounded different to me. Sounded like a... Do we have an updated... That one sounded polyphonic. Updated version. Yeah. I'm kidding, I'm kidding. Okay, okay, okay, okay. Chloe and the guy having a text conversation. Let's go.

He says, Hey, who dis? Denim dress. Oh, nice one. Hey, could you transfer me money for those drinks I bought you last night since we didn't go home together? Wasn't really worth my time, was it? Lol.

No reply. Right, okay. Okay, bold move, dick. What? I mean, yeah. Sometimes I wish people could read their own text messages to themselves just so they could see, how would you like to receive a message like that?

But also, that's why people aren't going home with you because that's your attitude, right? Yeah. I mean, God. All right. Hey. Got to go. Is that your phone?

Got a message. Bree and Clint, the podcast. ZM. Have you seen the latest argument that is taking over the nation? And it's not climate change. Oh, really? It's bigger than climate change. Oh, good.

It's huge. It's bigger than the budget. Oh, bigger than the budget? Yeah, bigger than the budget. Right, okay, cool. This must be important. People are really getting fired up. They've been discussing whether a Big Mac is still a Big Mac

if you add bacon to it. Oh, you're right. This is important. It's big. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's huge. I mean, Jacinda Ardern hasn't commented yet. We're waiting.

I heard they're waiting for it. There's a team camped outside her house. Yeah, the Beehive, they're apparently going to release a statement soon. Right, right, right, right. I have seen the argument. Is it you can get bacon on your Big Mac now? Yeah. You can order it?

Yeah, you can order a Big Mac and put bacon on it, but people are now saying... Is that still a Big Mac? Is it technically still a Big Mac? Am I allowed... I know it's early in the discussion. Am I allowed an opinion? No, you can weigh in.

Because I do feel quite passionately about this. No, it's not. It's not. It's not because you've changed to classic. So the Big Mac is a classic, and then if you're going to do a variant on it, that's fine, but it's not a Big Mac. Like it's not a Big Mac anymore.

It is now something else. It's the origins of a Big Mac burger that now contains bacon. I think it is. You think it's still? I don't know. Because you're adding bacon onto a Big Mac. So it's a Big Mac with bacon. Okay.

Which technically is still a Big Mac. Let's role play. Let's role play. Okay. You're working at McDonald's. I'm a customer. Yeah. Hi there. No, Let's role play. Okay. You're working at McDonald's. I'm a customer. Yeah. Hi there.

No, you've got to greet me. You're the employee. Just pull up to the window, please, sir. Hi there. Can I please get a large Big Mac combo, please? Sure. What drink would you like? Coke, please.

Yep, sure. Yeah. Would you like to upsize that? No, just regular. Thank you. Easy. Drive on through. Okay, please. Yep, sure. Would you like to upsize that? No, just regular. Thank you. Easy. Drive on through. Okay, thank you.

Next window. Hand me my meal. Here it is. Thank you. Hey, there's bacon on this Big Mac. See, it's not what I ordered. I ordered a Big Mac and you've given me a burger with bacon on it. I think I've just proved my point through a fantastic role play.

Let's role play again. Okay, cool. Okay, ready? I'm going to order. And I'm the employee. Okay, cool. Okay, ready? Hang on. I'm going to order. And I'm the employee? Yeah. Cool. Hello, welcome to McDonald's.

Place your order, please. Yeah, I think I want a Big Mac. Sure. But I want bacon on it. Sure. So you'd like a Big Mac, but you'd like to change the burger completely to be a different burger. No, that's bullshit.

By adding bacon to it. No. We can do that. We absolutely can do that. And good choice. Good choice. But just so you know, we won't be calling this a Big Mac. God, you're the most annoying drive-thru attendant I've ever had.

Just give me my damn food. That's very rude. Drive-thru to the next window, please. ZM Spree and Clint, the podcast. Look, there's been a lot of conjecture over the years about, you know, how long the average lady should wait before she gets married. No? Yes, no.

How long the average lady spends in the bathroom getting ready each morning. Takes to bake a cake. Ah, I know what you're talking about. When it's ready to come out of the oven when she's in one of those two people races how long it takes for her to cross the finish line yeah so say let's say actually very good um comparison would be the race with the tortoise and the hare yeah yeah one person in the race that we're talking about. Comes first.

Usually the hare. The second person that always comes second, usually way behind, probably actually never really finishes, to be honest, the tortoise. The tortoise. Which in this case, the female. I'm hearing you. I'm hearing you.

There's been a study done about what is the average time it takes for the tortoise to finish. To cross the finish line. Yes. To finish the race. Yes. If at all. If at all. If at all.

If at all. I'm really interested in this. And I think a lot of hares, as the hare, I'm usually the hare. Yep. As most hares will be keen to know. Which I think it's really interesting when they do these studies because it's kind of something that you don't really talk about. No, God no.

You know what I mean? You're not talking about that particular thing with your friends. No. You're not really talking about it in relationships all that often. Also, you're not really setting a stopwatch. No. Like if you're in the race, it's fair to say you're not generally looking at the clock. Well, I hope you're not anyway.

Yeah. Well, you shouldn't be. No. Unless you're trying to get to a certain time limit. Trust me. If you're looking at the clock, you're going to set a terrible lap time. Yeah, terrible. Well, this is really interesting because they've gotten 645 straight women from 21 different countries that took part in the experiment.

They're all married or in long-term relationships. Because that's important too for the race, can I say? Yes, it is. Changes the conditions under which the race is run. It does. And the frequency of the race. It does. And they've calculated amongst those people the average time it takes to reach the finish line.

Okay. Do you want a drum roll for this? Because I feel like this is a big deal. I'm keen to know the average time it takes to reach the finish line. Okay. Do you want a drum roll for this? Because I feel like this is a big deal. I'm keen to know the average. This is big. Yeah, yeah. Okay. And I want to see where people sit on the scale, where you can compare yourself, obviously.

Okay. 13 and a half minutes. Not bad. Not bad, I think. I think that's a bit low. You think it's low? Yeah. Your races are usually a bit longer?

I mean, I, to be honest, I'm more an 800 metre runner, long distance. Right, right, right. You know? Yeah. I'm more of a Usain Bolt. You're a 100 metre sprint. 100 metres and done.
