Starting point is 00:00:00 Hi everybody, welcome to the Bree and Clint podcast, where today we're a member down. We're missing a member of the Bree and Clint team. Oh yes, we are. Producer Ben's out there. He's currently doing... Hey mate. Who just walked in? Sorry, that was just...
Starting point is 00:00:16 Yeah, that's Harry the music guy. Piss off, Harry! No goddamn respect. Also, you'd think that a radio station would grease their doors. Yeah. Like, literally. It's very loud. Put some CRC on all of them. Put some CRC on those doors. We're a radio station would grease their doors. Yeah. Like, literally. It's very loud. Put some CRC on all of them.
Starting point is 00:00:26 Put some CRC on those doors. We're a radio station. Can you hear this door? Yeah, try that one. What, the main studio door? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, we heard that.
Starting point is 00:00:35 Yeah. Grease the doors. What was the boring chat I was having before? Oh, yeah, Ellie's not here. She's in Queenstown. No, but we can talk about her. She went to go on a... She told us that she's going on a hiking trip. She said, hey, guys, I's not here. She's in Queenstown. No, but we can talk about her. She went to go on a, she told us that she's going on a hiking trip.
Starting point is 00:00:48 She said, hey guys, I'm going away. I'm going away for three days. I'm going on a hiking trip. We found out recently that there's actually going to be no hiking on this trip to Queenstown. No, she was going to do that root burn track in the north of the town,
Starting point is 00:01:00 but it got flooded out. Oh, is that why she's not hiking? I thought it was a ruse. No, no, no. It's like completely the whole track's been washed away. Because when she told us she was doing the Rootburn track, first of all, we were like, huh, Rootburn. But then second of all, I was like, that is not,
Starting point is 00:01:14 like that's not on brand for you, Ellie. Can I just say, I'm going to put it out there, people who decide to do things like Tongariro Crossing and for people who aren't in New Zealand. Day walks. It's like a really big hike. Yeah. It's like a hike where people have died on it before.
Starting point is 00:01:31 Have they? Yes. Okay. Older people. But it's a single day hike. Single day hike, two day hike. But it's long AF. It's like nine hours of walking.
Starting point is 00:01:40 You have to walk over a mountain. I'm going to add into this list Things like Triathlons Six day swims Any of that crap Six day swims Any of Or six day runs
Starting point is 00:01:56 You know all that stuff Where it's like You can run from The top of the South Island Coast to coast Top of the South Island To the bottom of the South Island That's cool
Starting point is 00:02:04 Yeah That's a great idea. No, she hasn't finished her sentence yet. What do you want to say about these people? It is the most pointless and stupid thing. For you? No, I just don't get it. Yeah, you don't.
Starting point is 00:02:14 Unpopular opinion, maybe. I just don't understand when someone says to me, oh, so I'm thinking about doing this, what's that island down the bottom of New Zealand? Stewart Island. Yeah? Stewart Island. Yeah, Stewart Island. So Sophia, my girlfriend, she was like, oh, me and my friend, we're thinking about doing this three-day thing where you do it as a partner
Starting point is 00:02:33 and you do it in a partner group and you swim and then you run and then you swim and then you run. It takes three days. And I'm like, that sounds like the worst thing in the whole world to me. But you'd feel so good if you did it. You'd be like, man, I accomplished something cool. No, I'd feel good if I didn't do it. So this is what it is.
Starting point is 00:02:52 I know you know this, but it's a personal challenge. So you go to yourself, how do I get myself out of my comfort zone and do something I wouldn't normally do? And to put it in language that I think you'll be able to relate to, remember when you saw that 1.3 kg steak challenge? And you're like, there's something I can achieve.
Starting point is 00:03:08 I can do this and I can knock this off. I think it's the same feeling. I think it's you go, that looks hard, but I think if I try hard, I can do it. It's just your ones. Yeah, but there's a time and there's like an actual challenge for that. These type of things, it's like if you finish, you win. Yeah, great.
Starting point is 00:03:27 And it's like maybe, you know what? You're saying you don't get your picture on the wall of the Tongariro crossing. Yeah, exactly. You know what I've just figured out? Yeah. And maybe this will make me sound like a wanker saying this, but maybe it's because I played high-level sport my whole life until I was like you had bad injuries.
Starting point is 00:03:44 And I just feel like there was obviously like goals and stuff high-level sport my whole life until I was like, you had bad injuries. And I just feel like there was obviously goals and stuff where I actually understand it, whereas these type of things, I'm like, wait, so the goal is just to finish. Do you know what I mean? I just don't understand it. What about just doing good for yourself? You know, getting out there and just doing something. You're challenging yourself.
Starting point is 00:04:02 What about marathons? What's your opinion on running a marathon? Stupid. Okay, what if the goal is you set a time and your goal is to beat that time? Does that help? Stupid. There's $10,000 up for grabs. It's not a real sport.
Starting point is 00:04:15 What about the flow on effective or the health benefits you get from training? Yeah. Yeah, but it also damages your body a lot. Like a lot of these people like get real. So does eating a KJ steak. Yeah, no, I didn't bring a lot. Like a lot of these people like get real. So does eating a KJ steak. I didn't bring that up. Clint brought that up. And that's something that I didn't choose to do.
Starting point is 00:04:31 I got forced to do it. Very true. It's like your friend, right? You guys, and I guess this one I can kind of understand because you guys all do it together and it's a fun day out. Like your friend blew out his knee. Oh yeah, because we signed up to a triathlon last year. Trying to do it.
Starting point is 00:04:45 I just don't get it But we had a real sense For six months We had a sense Of shared camaraderie As we were like Motivating each other To train
Starting point is 00:04:54 No we were Six months You started training Six weeks out Don't lie to yourself No I put in a full Six months of training This time around
Starting point is 00:05:01 Did you? Yeah I did I think this time he did Yeah Anyway Up yours Who cares how much training i put in i felt good doing it so i just don't you will never be invited to be part of my triathlon team because i know you don't want to i definitely don't want to no but no it's not for me also side but invite me to any type of sporting team thing i'm there there. Keen for it.
Starting point is 00:05:26 So running's not a sport? I just, it's not a sport for me. What about kayaking? Kayaking? Long distance kayaking. That's what I'm doing with my Easter break. Anything long distance, to be honest. I mean, why just do it long distance?
Starting point is 00:05:40 Why don't we just make it shorter? I think I know what you want. I think I know what you want. What's more exciting? Here we go. What's more exciting? Yeah, go. The 100 metre sprint? That is exciting. What's more exciting? Yeah, go. The 100-meter sprint? That is exciting.
Starting point is 00:05:47 Or the 5,000-meter run? Are they running through? This is the difference between T20 and test cricket, too. Exactly. T20's better. But one's got a really big build-up, so the drama can be more intense. Yeah, but it's boring. There can be ebbs and flows and storylines within storylines.
Starting point is 00:06:01 But in fairness, only the last part of the race is exciting. The whole race. Yeah, but the rest of it's foreplay. The rest of the race is foreplay. It's the only time I don't like foreplay. I think I know what you want. What?
Starting point is 00:06:15 You want everything contained within two hours max. If it takes longer than two hours, you're not interested. Yeah, that's what it is. And I'm keen for the tough mudders and the, you know, because it's like kind of fun.
Starting point is 00:06:26 Short and fun, yeah. Short and fun. But these like big, long things. So with that in mind, keen for a half marathon? No! Here's the podcast, everybody. Hey, Google, what's the time? It's 3pm, give or take a minute.
Starting point is 00:06:41 Alexa, play ZM on iHeartRadio. Playing ZM on iHeartRadio Playing ZM on iHeart Radio. Hey, Siri, Winnebree and Clint on. Brie and Clint are on air in five, four, three, two, one. $100,000, baby! Who else has given away that? $100,000? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:00 Let me just do a quick Google search. Who else? Who's giving away $100,000? Only one search result. Yes. Us. Oh, it's us. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:11 That's right, $100,000. So Gary put it up to $100,000 this morning. We're talking about the secret sound, by the way. Zedium's secret sound is at $100,000. We've maxed out. You know what this means? It has to go. It also means he's got no more money
Starting point is 00:07:27 to buy guesses off people. Because I know his budget and he has $100,000 and it's now all up for grabs. So it has to go. And it means he can't deter any guesses. It means that if you have the right guess and you can get on air with us.
Starting point is 00:07:42 You are winning the $100,000. $100,000. $100,000. We talked about money at this time yesterday. Remember we talked about rich people? Are you rich? And we talked to rich people. What about... Imagine making someone rich today.
Starting point is 00:07:53 What about the guy and, well, actually I don't know if it was a guy, that was very, very old school of me. What about the person who texted through after we'd finished talking about it and they were like, I own 435 investment properties. Yeah. Yeah. 400? Yeah. I don't understand how that person's
Starting point is 00:08:14 life works. Did he buy a skyscraper? Like, do you have any money concerns at that stage? Yeah, having too much. Or do you go to New World and you just literally grab the thing you want? That's how your life operates. You don't go, what's the price per 100 grams on this item? You're getting the cashews.
Starting point is 00:08:30 You're getting the pistachios. And you're not even buying them from the bulk buy. You're buying them pre-bagged. You can get pine nuts. The true measure of wealth. And you can use them all too. If you want to live that kind of lifestyle, or a version of at least,
Starting point is 00:08:46 $100,000 up for grabs with ZM's Secret Sound, 4 o'clock is the first guess, 5 o'clock is the second guess today. But before we get to that, I want you to rack your brain right now. Think about, take your memory down memory lane. That's not a saying. And think about what TV show you think they should bring back.
Starting point is 00:09:08 There is a show that's coming back. I'm not sure. I think I'd rather other ones than this one. Is it Rocco's Modern Life? Oh, that was a good show. Yeah. I didn't mind it. I'll tell you what it is after this.
Starting point is 00:09:21 Bree and Clint. It's in him. Bree and Clint. This is going to be Brian Clint, it's in him. Brian Clint. This is going to be something for especially Steven Spielberg fans, so I'm assuming nearly everyone. You will have enjoyed something he's made. Steven Spielberg, I mean, what an icon. Did you know that he actually did a TV show back in the 1980s?
Starting point is 00:09:40 No. See, I never knew that, but he did produce a TV show back in the 80s and it was a series called Amazing Stories, which I think went for a couple of series for two years and then it got cancelled. Okay. Essentially, from what I can read, and I've never seen it, but it's 45 episodes that were created and they're all about different types of things, which I have a feeling it would be kind of like the 1980s version of Black Widow. Black Mirror? Black Mirror.
Starting point is 00:10:15 Oh, Black Mirror. Okay, cool. Black Mirror. Kind of like that. Someone will remember it. This is the theme song. Yeah, right. It doesn't ring a bell for me. No.
Starting point is 00:10:28 But it's coming back, is that right? Anyway, yeah, they're saying that they're bringing it back with all new different stories and episodes and you're going to be able to get it on Apple TV. Oh, okay. Yeah, so it's going to be the revival of Steven Spielberg's amazing stories. God, they're spending so much money, Apple TV. Aren't they? Like, it'll be big budget.
Starting point is 00:10:47 They're spending so much. Oh, but Steven Spielberg, yeah. Because they want to take on Netflix. That's why they bought Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon. You've got to spend the money. Oprah, they've got Oprah. Yeah. They're starting to line them up.
Starting point is 00:10:58 But I thought, you know, obviously this isn't something that is super, like, recognisable to you and I, but what if we were creating a list for Apple TV or any of those streaming services where we were like, you should bring this back? Yeah, great idea. Have you got any good ideas of shows to bring back? My first one that I think has a few more seasons left in it is Breaking Bad.
Starting point is 00:11:22 Like that movie came back and then did you want more? Answer this. Did you want more after watching El Camino? Yeah. You did. Yeah, but I don't know how much more there is without Walter White. That's the only thing. Yeah, but I mean. Bring it back, bring it back. I'll
Starting point is 00:11:39 definitely watch the first season and see where we go. Yeah, well maybe it's one season. What about you? Mine is lower budget than yours, so much easier for them to bring back. How about this show? Do you remember Mike Whitney and Who Dares Wins? Such a great show. Basically, this Australian fella just went around
Starting point is 00:12:00 going up to people in the street going, Hey, I'll give you 50 bucks if you jump off that bridge. What was the chick's name that used to do some of the stunts? Tanya. Tanya Zayeda. That's it, yeah. Yeah, she was hot. Bring back Who Dears Wins.
Starting point is 00:12:12 That was a great show. Yeah, that was a great show. What about, let's go a little bit different, very loved cartoon of mine, CatDog. Such a show. Such a show. Such a weird show. Kids don't have shows like this anymore. How do you know?
Starting point is 00:12:32 I sometimes watch kids' shows. You don't know what they've got. You're not watching any cartoon channels. I know they don't have no Rugrats or CatDog. Okay. Not a bad idea. What about this show? This here is how Joe Rogan got famous.
Starting point is 00:12:50 Fear Factor. Your show seemed to be having a bit of a trend. Yeah, they've all got challenges in them. You just want to make people do horrible things. Joe Rogan, who's now a UFC podcast guy. I can't believe he was the host. He was the host and he used to just make people eat cockroaches. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:05 Yeah. Face your fear and you won't catch. I'd be so keen for a new season of Fear Factor. Yeah, that'd be good. Yeah. Let's skip to my last one, actually. I feel like this was a show that I really got into and then it just stopped.
Starting point is 00:13:19 The show Heroes. With Hayden Planetarium. Yes. Yeah. Hayden Planetarium. Yes, yeah. Hayden Planetarium. Yeah, Planetarium. Yeah. That was a great show. She was the cheerleader that could, what could she do again?
Starting point is 00:13:34 I think she was like indestructible or something. Right. That was such a good show. He'd bring back heroes, yeah. Yeah. What show do you want to bring back? We'll put a list together. We want to know.
Starting point is 00:13:47 We can send them off. Send it to Apple TV if we really felt like it. 0800 dial ZM. Pick a TV show from the past. Maybe it ended too soon. Maybe you just want more. You just want it to come back. Let us know.
Starting point is 00:14:00 You can text us on 9696. Bree and Clint. What TV show needs to come back? Yeah, Steven Spielberg's Amazing Stories. That was a big hit back in the 80s. Only went for a couple of years. It's coming back and it'll be on Apple TV. We want to know from you if you can bring back anything,
Starting point is 00:14:18 what's it going to be? Hey, Joe. Hi, Joe. Hey, how's it going? Good. Joe, what show should Apple TV or some other streaming service bring back? I got two of them, and one of them is Thunder in Paradise. I don't recall.
Starting point is 00:14:33 I don't know if you guys recall Hulk Hogan. Oh, we lost Joe. He must have travelled back in time. What was the Hulk Hogan reality TV show? The Brooke Hogan show No, the one that she got famous on It was about Hulk's life It was like the Osbournes
Starting point is 00:14:52 but it was about Hulk Hogan I swear it was like the Brooke Hogan show No, that was the spin-off because she got famous from being on that show Someone will know what it was Hogan knows best That's what it was Jay, what show do we need to bring back?
Starting point is 00:15:09 Games of Thrones, the remake. Games of Thrones, the remake. It only just finished. You can't bring back Games of Thrones because it got so bad at the end. That's why I wanted to make a remake. Oh, right. Didn't everyone die?
Starting point is 00:15:24 Yeah, yeah. No spoilers. Well, I mean, you don't know who. That's why I wanted to make a remake Didn't everyone die? Yep No spoilers Well, I mean, you don't know who Alright, Jay, we can talk about Game of Thrones I was sitting here thinking about a reality show that I reckon they should bring back I think they should bring back Teela Tequila's Shot at Love Talk to me about how Shot at Love worked again So, she was a bisexual and she on the show dated men and women.
Starting point is 00:15:54 Yes. And then at the end had to pick like one person, but they would do crazy stuff on the show. And it was quite groundbreaking back then too, hey, because you're like, oh, my God, a bisexual person? They exist. Not on television. No way. Do you were like, oh my God, a bisexual person? They exist. Not on television. No way.
Starting point is 00:16:07 Do you remember Flavour of Love with Flavour Flav? The guy who wore the clock around his neck. Oh, yes, yes. Flavour Flav, Flavour of Love was actually a very good show. What was that? He just went on dates with women, basically. Right, right. And it was like, you would never really date him,
Starting point is 00:16:21 but that's kind of why it was. But that was why it was funny. Flavour Flav. The tequila tequila one, imagine if they brought it of why it was. But that was why it was funny. Flav or Flav. The tequila, tequila one, imagine if they brought it back and she was the one that they were dating still, but she's like way older. She's still looking for love. Who wants a shot at this?
Starting point is 00:16:34 Fiona, what TV show are we bringing back? Seventh Heaven. Oh. Seventh Heaven? Yeah. Okay. Has been in the news for some bad stuff. Oh, has it?
Starting point is 00:16:46 Oh, my God, has it? It was extremely wholesome, that show, wasn't it? It was, but one of... Oh, I don't know if I should... No, don't say. You can Google it. No, I'll just say one of the actors on the show has been under investigation.
Starting point is 00:16:57 Yeah, right. Oh, right. Sorry, Fiona. It sounds like bad news for 7th Heaven. I don't think it's coming back, Fee. No, bring it back. No. She's rapidly
Starting point is 00:17:05 changed her mind. Julian, finally, what TV show are we bringing back? If we could, what would you bring back? I've got two. One is Distraction. Distraction. Distraction. What was that? Remind us, Julian. Is that the... That was the one where they won a car and they had to beat it up. Yeah, Jimmy Carr
Starting point is 00:17:21 hosted it and at the end they had the chance of getting a mini, but every question they got wrong, he smashed a wing mirror off or shattered the windscreen or something or sliced the car seats open. Yeah, that was good. And what's the other show? That 70s show. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:37 Do you remember? That was a great show. Do you remember after the success of that 70s show, do you remember they tried to do that 80s show with a whole new cast? I don't remember that. It was awful. I bet. But I reckon we've reached a point now
Starting point is 00:17:50 where they could launch, if they did it right, that 90s show. They could do that 90s show. They could. The 90s were like 20 years ago now. So, I don't know, give it a go. All right, Julian,
Starting point is 00:18:00 we'll put the submission in, and if it works, you're directing it, okay? Okay, sweet. Grow your moustache now, Julian. This is a call out to all my fellow female ladies who want to be engineers. Just the female ladies? Just the female ladies.
Starting point is 00:18:19 Okay. No, well, just the females that are thinking about a career in engineering. Okay. Because it's quite interesting that Auckland University, they set a goal two years ago where they wanted to pretty much increase the number of females enrolled in the engineering program to 33% by 2020. That's cool. Which is very cool. I mean, disappointing that it's not already above 33%. I know. That's not even half. Yeah. But, yeah's cool. Which is very cool. I mean, disappointing that it's not already above 33%.
Starting point is 00:18:46 I know. That's not even half. Yeah. But yeah, cool. Good goal to have. Unfortunately, they fell short, only reaching 28.6%, which that figure was down from 2018, which it was at 29.15%,
Starting point is 00:19:02 and then up from 2017, which was 27.41. I know how to encourage ladies into the engineering sector. Don't bring my brother up. Bree's hot brother is an engineer. And people of birds of a feather flock together. So if you want to move in the same circles as Bree's hot brother, engineering degree.
Starting point is 00:19:22 It's what he likes to talk about. You either need to study engineering or study rally cars. That's how you have a conversation with Bree's hot brother, engineering degree. It's what he likes to talk about. You either need to study engineering or study rally cars. That's how you have a conversation with Bree's hot brother. I was trying to make this about, you know, like, girls, get out there and do something, you know, different. Yeah, do that too. Yeah, do that too. Don't just be motivated by marrying Bree's brother.
Starting point is 00:19:39 That's the wrong and archaic way to look at it. That is the wrong message. Think about that as the icing on the cake, okay? Yeah, that can be the icing. Well, what's an engineering term? Think about that as the icing on the cake. Yeah, that can be the icing. What's an engineering term? Think about that as the roof on the structure. Can you stop putting my brother in the midst of all of this? Because he's got a girlfriend now.
Starting point is 00:19:53 Yeah, is she an engineer? No, she's a teacher. Well, then there's still a chance for you. Oh, my God. You know, I talk to my brother about this quite often because obviously he works at an engineering firm. And I'd always say to him, you know, are talk to my brother about this quite often because obviously he works at an engineering firm and I'd always say to him, you know, are you seeing anyone? Hold on.
Starting point is 00:20:11 Are you going to sneeze? Put your tongue on the roof of your mouth. It never happens to me when we're talking on the radio. Anyway, and he was kind of like, you know, it's very hard because there is no females who work in my office, not one. And then this one time this girl came and she was a female engineer and Aidan was like, it's really weird because, like, all the female engineers I've ever met have been really hot
Starting point is 00:20:35 and then all of us male engineers are just weird. Yeah, exactly right. And they wouldn't know how to behave. It's like when all male schools had any kind of sports crossover or any kind of crossover with the female school. Dance, whatever it is. You spend all this time building up to it going, man, when I see those girls, I'm going to be so skucks.
Starting point is 00:20:54 I'm going to be so smooth. I'm going to talk to all the girls. I've got the moves. And then the minute that a real life girl enters your presence, you're like, have you seen my – I like your pocket. Have you seen my formula you seen my – I like your pocket. Have you seen my formula? Nice pockets.
Starting point is 00:21:08 I like your pocket. So there you go. There you go. There's another reason to join the Engineering School of Auckland. Men need some real interaction with real life. They don't know how to behave. Am I selling it right? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:21:21 I don't know. I feel like none of my ideas are good. Just if you're thinking about it, get out there and break the mould of maybe something that society doesn't necessarily think that you should be doing. It's time. It's time. Go do something you want to do. And if you want to see Bree's brother, we put a video of him on our Instagram last night.
Starting point is 00:21:39 It's our most recent post. Bree and Clint. We've talked before about divorce parties and celebrating a divorce that you've had. You know, turning a negative into a positive. Going, hey, it's the start of my new life. I'm gonna approach it with a bit of positivity, I guess.
Starting point is 00:21:55 They're becoming a thing. There is a club in Ibiza. Do you say Ibiza or Ibiza? I don't know. I think say however you want to say it. That's the type of place it is. Ibiza. If you want to say Ibiza, say that. Whatever it is, there is one of the major clubs there,
Starting point is 00:22:11 which is the club where people like David Guetta and Zedd and Calvin Harris. Well, not Ibiza. No, I'm just saying that's where he would have partied. Far out. Not Ibiza. Too soon. But it's that song.
Starting point is 00:22:24 It says that he was in Ibiza. It's a Mike Posner song. Ibiza, yeah. Yeah. With Avicii. Yeah, too soon. Ouch. Too soon.
Starting point is 00:22:33 It was like three years ago. Anyway, sorry about Brie, everybody. Oh, well, way to make me feel awkward. Well, come on, mate. Look, look, on, mate. Look, look, look, look. Let's just get back on track. There's a club there called... You're such an arsehole.
Starting point is 00:22:51 There's a club there called... I don't even know how to say the name of the club, but it's The Famous One. Oh, how dare you. How would you say this? Write it down. Write it down. U-S-H.
Starting point is 00:23:02 U-S-H. U-A-I-A. How do you you say that how do you say the name of that club ash who we are that's it that's how you say it they're offering a divorce package so it's a new deal they're doing where if you've recently been divorced they've got a package deal ready to go where you and up to 22 of your friends can go and celebrate your divorce in Ibiza. To do this... 22's a lot of people. Yeah, 22's a lot of people.
Starting point is 00:23:30 To do this, you have to book a minimum of five rooms, which again, sounds like a lot. What are they thinking that people just win a ton of money in divorces all the time? Yeah, are you using your settlement or something? Also, a lot of people end up with half the amount of friends after a breakup as well. Yeah, you probably don't have 22 friends. But if you're up for it, it could be the best way to get over your ex. The tagline is, no ring, no tan line.
Starting point is 00:23:55 That's good. I like that. Good marketing. Because you're in Ibiza. I think something like this, if you've been through a divorce, is a great option. I think do what you've got to do. Finance your trip.
Starting point is 00:24:05 Get over there. Get over that somebody by getting under somebody else. I think it divorce is a great option. I think do what you've got to do. Finance your trip. Get over there. Get over that somebody by getting under somebody else. I think it's just a good premise. Not even a divorce. Just any breakup. Yeah. Yeah, exactly right. Just go on a trip.
Starting point is 00:24:14 Yeah. Or have a big party. Eat, pray, love. Go find yourself again. Yeah, why not? To do that, though, you do need money. And we were having a conversation about this today. And there's possibly a bit of a life hack involved
Starting point is 00:24:25 with funding a trip like this. If you've just been through a breakup, especially a long-term relationship breakup where you had lots of stuff at each other's house, what if you went and found an item that belonged to your ex that is of no use to you and you sold it?
Starting point is 00:24:41 What if you made some money out of the breakup? What if you turned a negative into a positive made some money out of the breakup? What if you turned a negative into a positive and cashed in on the breakup? Yeah, what if you threw all your moral compass out the window and just sold all of their old stuff? No, no, forget the moral compass. What have you done this? No, I haven't done it
Starting point is 00:24:57 because I've never had an item. I've never been left with something. You're like, I've never had the opportunity. I had a breakup once where the flat we were in was completely furnished by her parents. Oh, no. And then we broke up and I was like, well, at least I got this house full of furniture.
Starting point is 00:25:13 A week later, unannounced, a moving truck showed up. Of course it did. And they went, hey, we're here to get all of our furniture. I was like, damn it, I thought I won out of this breakup. But no, I've never been in this position. But some people will have. Because some people, you might be the jilted person in the relationship. You no, I've never been in this position. But some people will have. Because some people, you might be the jilted person in the relationship.
Starting point is 00:25:28 You might have been the one that got cheated on and you might think that this is what you're owed. This would be common for especially engagement rings, I feel. Engagement rings is a really good one. What else? And I guess there's, ooh, I don't know. What if he had a motorbike and he hasn't been able to relocate it yet
Starting point is 00:25:43 and it's still at your place? Could you sell his motorbike? If he cheated on you, could you sell his motorbike? Two wrongs don't make a right, do they? No, but we're not looking to get right. We're looking to get even. Okay? And we're also looking to get to
Starting point is 00:25:57 Ibiza so we can go on this divorce party trip. I mean, this has actually happened to me. I still have some of my ex's stuff in my apartment right now. Yeah, what do you got? I've got some pairs of shoes. Sell them. I mean, this has actually happened to me. I still have some of my ex's stuff in my apartment right now. Yeah, what have you got? I've got some pairs of shoes. Sell them. I think I have a phone that's broken.
Starting point is 00:26:10 Sell it. You're in a new relationship. You shouldn't have that stuff around the house anyway. I know I shouldn't, but it's like deep in my cupboard somewhere. Oh, what a pain in the bum. I'll come and sell it for you. Oh, $800 at him. Have you done this?
Starting point is 00:26:21 Did you sell some of your ex's stuff? What did you sell? What did you sell? What did you sell? How much money did you make? Do you feel bad about it? Do you feel good about it? I want to know the whole situation though. Like obviously, can you imagine someone calls up,
Starting point is 00:26:34 they're like, well, I cheated and then I sold all the stuff. So I could buy a plane ticket to get away from her. No, we'd just love to know. Obviously, if it's sensitive, we can keep you anonymous. That's fine. But 0800 dials at M or text us on 9696. What did you sell
Starting point is 00:26:50 that belonged to your ex? This is going to get juicy. Have you sold something that belonged to your ex for monetary gain for yourself? And it could have been for reasons where, you know, maybe they
Starting point is 00:27:05 cheated or maybe it didn't end well or maybe you were just spiteful. Yeah, maybe YOLO, bitch. Who cares? Let's go. You know? You can spend money on that stuff. No! Maybe, maybe, like you're not angry at your ex or anything but their stuff has been at your house for over a year. Technically, it's
Starting point is 00:27:22 probably mine. They're not coming back to get their stuff. They're not? Sorry. They're not coming back to get their stuff. They're not? Sorry. They're not coming back to get their stuff. Way to rub it in! They're in a different country. You should sell it.
Starting point is 00:27:30 I know. And maybe some of these stories will motivate you to do just that. This person wants to remain anonymous. Anonymous number one, welcome to the show. Hello. Hi. Did you do this? Did you sell something of your ex's for your own gain?
Starting point is 00:27:49 Yeah, so we broke up and I charged him for anything he wanted to take out of the flat. Whoa. Wait, so what? Had you purchased all the stuff together when you were in the relationship? No, I earned probably most of it, like 90%. Yeah. And so if he was like, oh, I need a coffee table, I'd call that $40.
Starting point is 00:28:07 Right. Really? He wouldn't just go buy his own? So you were selling him stuff? Yeah. Because I didn't need it and he did. You were selling him his own stuff. Okay, interesting take on it.
Starting point is 00:28:20 Well, it was her stuff. Heather's here. Hey, Heather. Hi. What did you do, Heather? What of your exes did you sell? I sold my own engagement ring for $300 to help pay for an independent holiday to Melbourne in May.
Starting point is 00:28:36 Hell yeah, girl. It is even sweeter by the fact that last time I was in Melbourne, I was with him, and the dickhead didn't even let me do half the stuff I wanted to do. Now I'm going to do all the stuff that he thought wasn't good enough and screw him. I love this. Now, Heather, we want you to tell us how you really feel.
Starting point is 00:28:57 Yeah, stop holding back, please. Stop holding back. Can I ask you, selling the engagement ring for $300, how much do you think he paid for it? Yeah. Well, I know how much he paid. He paid $520 because the only thing he ever did right was choose the engagement ring I liked.
Starting point is 00:29:11 Yeah, right. Wow. And then you had to sell it, but you also got the holidays, so everyone wins. You don't sound mad at him at all, by the way. That's the last thing I have to bring. Right. Okay, thank you, Heather.
Starting point is 00:29:22 There's a few really good texts that have come through. We're talking about when you've sold something of your ex's For your own gain Someone said, I sold my ex-boyfriend's Bay Dreams ticket on him Such a shame that him and the girl he cheated on me with Could only get to the front gate They missed out on a great day though
Starting point is 00:29:38 Oh my god He would have printed it out And you've sold it to someone else Oh and someone's used it. So you say to that person, this is the ticket. I'll give it to you a bit cheaper, but you need to get there early. At this time. That's genius.
Starting point is 00:29:53 It actually is genius. There's a few more. And illegal. We don't endorse that whatsoever. Well, I mean, depends who bought it. Covering our bases. Oh, right. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:03 Don't do that. That's bad. Although very funny. There's our bases. Oh, right. Yeah. Don't do that. That's bad. Although very funny. There's a few more people that have texted through. Someone said, I sold an $800 Star Wars Lego of my ex's. He was obsessed with Lego. I used the money for a lawyer to leave him. Wow.
Starting point is 00:30:19 That's quite good. There's actually a few Lego ones coming through. Someone else said they sold their boyfriend's $1,000 worth of Lego for $50 in spite of him. Yeah, just get it going. Yeah. Someone else said that they sold, oh, this is probably one of my favourites. I was in a relationship for a year.
Starting point is 00:30:36 He went home to Canada for a month and ghosted me. So I decided to sell his $2,500 mountain bike he left behind for $1,000 and I also sold his guitar2,500 mountain bike, he left behind for $1,000 and went on to, and I also sold his guitar for $500. If they've left the country, you can sell whatever you want. You are not a free storage locker, okay? That's not how this works. They don't get to come back years later and go,
Starting point is 00:30:58 hey, have you still got my snowboard? Apparently she says here that he did, and she's like, I sold that to cover your rent. Yeah, good, good. Or don't even justify it. Just go, I sold that to cover your rent. Yeah, good. Good. Or don't even justify it. Just go, I threw it out. You don't have to tell them anything. Anonymous number two.
Starting point is 00:31:10 You're the last one. Did you sell something of your ex's? Yes, I did. I ended up selling his BMW with all of his labeled clothes on the boat. Wow, what a combo. Wait. How much did you sell the BMW car for? All up, I got $3,500 a combo. Wait, how much did you sell the BMW car for? All up I got $3,500 for it.
Starting point is 00:31:30 Right, it sounds like a bit of a steal. You just needed to move it before he came back. Is that the deal? No. No, okay. You don't have to go into detail, but did he deserve it? He totally deserved it. He deserves more than that, trust me. I want the detail. but did he deserve it? He totally deserved it. He deserves more than that, trust me. I want the detail.
Starting point is 00:31:48 What did he do? So he was going away with boys, you know, like with the borrowed machine and stuff like this for three to four days. And then I get a message from a girl saying that she had found out about me and that he was going to stay with her when he was going away. So I said,
Starting point is 00:32:04 can you please take him away for a week so I have time to get rid of all of his stuff? And then, yeah. You and the girl worked together to screw him over? Yeah. It's like that movie with Cameron Diaz. Girl Code. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:17 Wow. Okay. Fascinating. Congratulations and well done on the successful trade me sale. Thank you. This information is for anybody who can admit that they are addicted to their phone. Anyone in this room willing to stand up and say that? Yeah, I'm willing to stand up. Okay, I'll sit here.
Starting point is 00:32:37 I'm in the group. I'm in the recovery group and you can address the group. My name is Bree. Hi, Bree. And I have an addiction to my phone. Congratulations. That's the first step to recovery. It is the first step.
Starting point is 00:32:50 Not me. I'm a healthy male with a real life outside of my phone. So I don't count for this. What a stitch-up. There's been a study done on how bad it is. And it's different for everybody, really. Because I think you can get confused with people who need their phone for work. That's what I try
Starting point is 00:33:08 and tell myself. Right? And so much work is done through your phone these days. You've got to answer emails but I think it hits home if you're on work time and you're constantly tabbing out of your emails over to TikTok and watching some videos or giving yourself
Starting point is 00:33:24 like an Instagram hit in the middle of that, then I think you go, oh, hang on. Like talking about it like you're having a cigarette? Yeah, right? Give yourself an Instagram hit for 15 minutes? Duck outside for a quick top up on the old. Here's some tips on how you can recover from social media addiction. Okay?
Starting point is 00:33:44 I actually really wanted to listen to this. Okay. Number one, check your screen time and see the number of hours you are spending on your phone each day. Right. And if that number shocks you, then you need to do something about it. Like if you go on there and you go,
Starting point is 00:33:58 eight hours on my phone, then, because I don't know what a bad number is. Again, I don't know what a bad number is. Yeah, what is a bad number? I think it's any number that makes you go, oh, bro, that't know what a bad number is. Again, I don't know what a bad number is. I think it's any number that makes you go, oh, bro, that's... What's your number? I don't know if that's for a day or
Starting point is 00:34:11 if that's for the week. Oh, no. What is it? It says screen on, six hours, 40 minutes. That's a day. No, it's not. It's a day. It's a day. It's not a week. Are you telling me you're looking at your phone for less than one hour a day. It's not a week. Are you telling me you're looking at your phone for less than one hour a day? That's terrible.
Starting point is 00:34:28 Six hours a day. Okay, number two. Oh, look, the only time I'm not on my phone is between three and seven when we're doing our show. That's good, though. That's a good result. That is good. I'm not on my phone during work.
Starting point is 00:34:40 Another thing you can do is turn off the blue light, like put on that filter thing. I've heard about this. Let your brain have a break in the evenings. They say especially to do this before you're about to go to sleep, like at least an hour and a half. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:55 I just find my phone less fun when it's a bit grey browny like that. Yeah, it's boring. I know that's the whole point of it. It's meant to be less attractive. Remember that whole thing? It was like you double click the button or something and it turns it grey. So that's the next one. Turn your phone into greyscale mode. So you can do that on all smartphones, Samsungs, iPhones.
Starting point is 00:35:15 You can set it up so your phone is in black and white. Yeah, I remember I did that and it actually literally made me not want to go on it. Because it's not as attractive. It's not the eye candy. You're not getting the same brain receptors. It's like what? Ping, ping, ping, ping, ping. It's like watching a black and white movie.
Starting point is 00:35:30 Boring. Yeah, I know. But the hard bit is you know that you can just turn it back on. I know. That's the thing. That's the issue. Because if it was that easy, we'd just put our phones down. Like that's the actual cure to smartphone addiction
Starting point is 00:35:42 is just put your phone down. They should have the thing where it like locks your phone into black and white mode for a certain amount of time. Yeah. That's what they need to do. You sign up to it and there's no going back. Yeah. And there's like a number you can ring and you're like, please, please, I know I said I wanted this. And there's a really strong person on the other end of the phone going, no, no, you're on stand down. No. That's what's happening. No. Other ones are like turn off your notifications and all that stuff. Look, all this stuff makes sense. I get it.
Starting point is 00:36:09 It's just I don't think anyone's going to do it. To be honest, I feel like a lot of the time, and I feel like people would be with me on this, I do it subconsciously. I don't even mean to get my phone and start looking at stuff. And then all of a sudden you're like, why am I on this? How did I get into this app? You just subconsciously open it up, right?
Starting point is 00:36:27 Yeah. You know what people are doing? What's that? They're changing from using, this is the tip from me that I heard from someone else. They said people now are going back to like 3315s, like Nokia 3315s because it still allows you to have the security of being able to call someone or text someone.
Starting point is 00:36:46 Yeah. But, like, what are you doing on a 3315? Nothing. Except a snake. Yeah. Also, you don't have to pay for any group Ubers. Because you can't. Bree and Clint.
Starting point is 00:36:57 Nick, Nick, Nick, Nick, Nick, Nick, Nick, Nick. Nickname Origins. This is the game where we guess where your nickname came from. Pretty much. You tell us your nickname and we will try and decipher how you got it. The best origin story wins free mobile fuel. Hi, Kate, what's your nickname? Hi, my nickname is Muffin.
Starting point is 00:37:15 Muffin, all right. The Muffin Man, maybe she has a muffin top. Maybe she... I didn't want to go there, but... I've got a muffin top. Maybe she has a muffin top. Maybe she... I didn't want to go there, but... I've got a muffin top. Maybe she has a muffin top. And can I say to anyone who has a muffin top, as a man who has a muffin top,
Starting point is 00:37:33 the muffin top is the most delicious part of the muffin. And to be honest, I quite like the muffin top. What else? What else? Maybe she just loves a muffin. Maybe she likes blueberry. Maybe she raspberry. Who knows? Maybe she just eats a muffin. Maybe she likes blueberry. Maybe she's raspberry. Who knows?
Starting point is 00:37:46 Maybe she just eats a lot of muffin. Okay, have you got a... I shouldn't have said that. Okay, are you called Muffin because you eat a lot of muffin? So, I'm called Muffin because I had a muffin top. Oh! Wait, wait, wait, wait. My dad, he used to call me Muffy the Sandwich Slayer.
Starting point is 00:38:06 Muffy the Sandwich Slayer, because she was... You know, like Muffy the Vampire Slayer? Oh, and you love a sandwich. I like it. I wasn't even fat, though. No, that's horrific. Wait there, Muffy. Wait there, muffin.
Starting point is 00:38:20 Ayla, hi, welcome to the show. What's your nickname? Okay, so my nickname is Squamage. Squamage. Squam for short. Squam for short. Squam, bam, thank you, ma'am. Squamage sounds to me...
Starting point is 00:38:33 Squamage sounds like sandwich. Sounds to me like she gets quite like... Squamish? No, not squamish, but like in a game, like in a sporting match. Squabbly. She can get quite squabbly and get down and dirty and like maybe pull a girl's hair or something. Are you a dirty bee on the sports field, Ayla?
Starting point is 00:38:48 Is that why they call you Squamage? No. So when I was learning to talk, I couldn't pronounce sandwich, so I used to ask for a Squamage. Squamage. You were on the right track. That's incredibly cute. Wait there.
Starting point is 00:39:02 Squamage. One more. Vaughan, hi, what's your nickname? My nickname is Fog, F-O-G. F-O-G. Maybe, you know, he gets a bit foggy when he has a few lemonades. That's exactly what I was going to say. He suffers memory loss.
Starting point is 00:39:17 He has really bad hangovers and memory loss because, you know, a few lemonades. Or really bad flatulence. Yeah, foggy. Waiting for the fog to clear. Fog, foggy, foggy, a few lemonades. Or really bad flatulence. Yeah, foggy. Waiting for the fog to clear. Fog, foggy, foggy, doggy, fog. Is it crop dusting? Crop dusting. Yeah. But he's either a really big farter or... He's got a drinking problem.
Starting point is 00:39:36 He's got a drinking problem. Fog, have you got a drinking problem? No. Oh. Well, good. Farter then. Good. Why do they call you Fog? Because back when I was younger I used to play a lot of online games And there's a website called Freeonlinegames.com
Starting point is 00:39:51 And for sure it's called Fog.com Fog you need a new nickname bro Yeah Let's give him one Go on give him a nickname I can't go with a nickname on the spot That's not how nicknames work I'm giving it to Muffin Tom
Starting point is 00:40:04 I'm giving it to Muffin as well. We love you all, Ayla, Fogg, Squimmage, but Muff, you've won yourself some free mobile fuel this afternoon. Congratulations. Yay, thank you. Do not, do not buy your dad anything from mobile with this voucher, okay? Nothing. I know, thank you.
Starting point is 00:40:20 Oh, no, I shouldn't say that. That's a, you know, new nickname she can get now. Muffy the Sandwich Slayer. Muffy the Sandwich Slayer. Muffy the Sandwich Slayer. It's not appropriate, but very, very funny. Bree and Clint. Bree and Clint. Look, something happened to me yesterday,
Starting point is 00:40:36 and I feel like, you know, Clint, you and I need to use our platform to do something about it. Okay. And I think it's something that, you know, it doesn't happen everywhere, but these things are still happening and we need to take a stand. Okay, what moralistic cause are we taking on today?
Starting point is 00:40:52 I'm talking about going to a bakery, getting, you know, maybe your favourite pie or sausage roll. It could be either or. And you put the pie onto the counter and you say, I want this pie, please. And they go, okay. And you're like, oh, where's the tomato sauce?
Starting point is 00:41:10 And they say, that's extra. No, not keen for that. And they point you in the direction of those stupid squeezy packets. It's like a 50 cent packet. Yeah, with the least amount of sauce ever in it. That doesn't give you enough sauce anyway. That's made of plastic and kills sea turtles. And the sauce inside it is watery.
Starting point is 00:41:28 When you squeeze it, the first thing that comes out is that sauce water. Yuck, I hate that stuff. And you and I were talking, but it got me thinking about other things, some things in life you should just not pay extra for. Just make my pie 10 cents more expensive and have a communal bottle of tomato sauce
Starting point is 00:41:46 on the counter. I am fine with that. That I can just squirt straight into the bag. Amen. That's all I want. Preach it. Speak your truth sister. You speak your truth. Yeah, okay. If you're saying that we should no longer pay for tomato sauce at bakeries, I stand by you on that. You're in.
Starting point is 00:42:01 I totoko what you're saying there Bree, absolutely. Glad to have you on board. But we need to, you know, talk about there is other things that I think in life you should never have to pay extra for. So do I. I've got a list. Have you got a list? Oh, mate, I've got a list. Right, this is the time.
Starting point is 00:42:15 Let's get some of the stuff out there. What have you got? What goes on the list? I definitely think you should never have to pay extra for is cheese at a kebab shop. What do you mean? Cheese anywhere. Cheese anywhere. Cheese anywhere that you're adding cheese to the meal.
Starting point is 00:42:31 Free cheese. Free cheese. Free cheese because you're not having the meal without cheese. Cheese is important. I'm with you on that. None of this tomato, onion, and what's the other thing? Lettuce. I'm all with you.
Starting point is 00:42:40 I'd like to add avocado. Anywhere where you go down the line and you make a meal, like a burrito place or a taco place, and they say, would you like avocado? Hell yes, I'd like to add avocado. Anywhere where you go down the line and you make a meal, like a burrito place or a taco place, and they say, would you like avocado? Hell yes, I'd like avocado. And they go, that'll be extra $2.50. So we need to obviously nail this down, because I think at a breakfast place,
Starting point is 00:42:56 if you're ordering eggs... That's different. That's different. It's a menu item. If it's a sandwich, or if it's something where it's rolled all together... Yeah, and avocado is a key ingredient. Avocado is free. Done. Avocado.
Starting point is 00:43:09 Yeah. I also think this is a big one for me being Australian. I think also to a sandwich, beetroot is not extra. Who's charging you extra for beetroot? There's a certain place that does. Okay. Sure, free beetroot. I don't feel as passionately about that one, but sure, free beetroot. There's a certain place that does. Okay. Sure, free beetroot. I don't feel as passionately about that one, but sure, free beetroot.
Starting point is 00:43:29 Booking fees when you're buying concert tickets. I've already bought the concert tickets. What's the booking fee for? I thought I was booking a ticket to the concert. I've printed out my own tickets at home. What are you doing? Booking fees on concert tickets. I agree. This isn't a dream world,
Starting point is 00:43:43 by the way, but let's just assume we have the power. I think any fees where you're taking out your own money from an ATM, BS. It's your money. Fees for using your credit card. Then they go, it's an extra 2%. They even do that at a parking station. No, get rid of it. Put it in the bin.
Starting point is 00:44:05 Sour cream. Stop charging extra for sour cream. I don't care what I'm putting it on. A lot of food-based ones for us. You can tell where our thought process is. But what else? What else needs to go on the list of things that you should never have to pay for? Yeah, what should you never in your life pay extra for?
Starting point is 00:44:25 Yeah, what's your human right? It's included. What do you demand, New Zealand? Oh, $800 at M or text it to 9696? It's time for you to be a part of something, New Zealand. It's time to take a stand. It's time to voice what we believe You should never have to pay extra for Kia kaha New Zealand, stand up
Starting point is 00:44:50 I've had enough I've had enough At a bakery, you shouldn't be paying for tomato sauce Or barbecue for that matter Any food that requires tomato sauce Should come with complimentary tomato sauce Absolutely, put it into the price of the item I don't care what you do I'm not having it without tomato sauce. Absolutely. Put it into the price of the item. I don't care what you do.
Starting point is 00:45:05 I'm not having it without tomato sauce. I'm sick of those 50 cent little tomato sauces. We are getting overrun with things this afternoon that people believe they should not have to pay for and here to sign the petition. I don't know. Lucy. Hi, Lucy.
Starting point is 00:45:20 Hi, Lucy. Hi, everybody. Hi. Yes, Lucy. I like your passion to start off with. Tell us. What should you not have to pay for? For a flake and my thick shake.
Starting point is 00:45:31 For a flake and your thick shake. Yeah, fine. Sweet. Reach it. How much are flakes really? They're just pretty much air. That's right. I mean, flakes, it's a bit of an upgrade.
Starting point is 00:45:45 Yeah, well, kind of. No, you won it, Lucy. It's going on. Congratulations. Thank you. Someone said on the text machine, you should never have to pay for swirls on pizzas, i.e. a barbecue swirl.
Starting point is 00:45:59 No, I feel that. Yep. That's back to source. That is a part of the pizza. Back to source. Yeah. You're not paying extra for the sauce. Just give me a swirl.
Starting point is 00:46:07 Someone else said a fish and chip shop that I go to charges 10 cents extra for chicken salt. 10 cents extra for chicken salt? That is just pure disregard for anyone else.
Starting point is 00:46:23 Counting out the granules? Amy, hi, what should you never have to pay for? What are they doing? Pure disregard. Counting out the granules? For anyone else. Amy, hi. What should you never have to pay for? The transaction fee from changing money from one of your accounts in your bank to another, like your savings or spending or something. Absolutely. At the end of the day, I saw that I got charged a $5 automatic payment fee.
Starting point is 00:46:43 You know what? Yeah. Who's giving that $5? A computer made that change. Are you giving the computer $5 automatic payment fee. You know what? Yeah. Who's giving that $5? A computer made that change. Are you giving the computer $5? Sometimes. Yeah, I reckon it's my money. I think banks just make stuff up and, I mean, none of us question it. Well, I hope that you won't question it.
Starting point is 00:46:56 Until now. Yep. No, Amy, you're right. Congratulations. And it's on the list. It's on the list. I really like this one. And I was thinking about this.
Starting point is 00:47:03 Someone said you shouldn't have to pay extra for a bag on a flight. Yeah, well, yeah. I mean, if you're going somewhere. You need a bag. You need a bag. It used to come with it. And then they said we'll discount it. If you don't bring a bag, we'll make it discounted.
Starting point is 00:47:19 And then the price of that one went up to the old price. But now it doesn't involve a bag anymore. And while we're at it, if there's TVs on the plane, give us the movies for God's sake. Someone said I shouldn't have to pay extra for soy milk. It's true. It's not my fault that I'll shit my pants if you give me cow juice. I really love this one too.
Starting point is 00:47:40 Someone said I shouldn't have to pay for hospital parking when I have a sick loved one. I totally agree with that. I understand that as well. That is so harsh. Finally, Nikki, another brave New Zealander, tell us what should you never, ever have to pay for? When you go to a concert at a really large venue
Starting point is 00:47:58 that's making a lot of money, you have to pay for a glass of water. $4. What? $4. Yeah? $4. Yeah, right. I think, Nicky, I think someone's made that up and they've taken it. No.
Starting point is 00:48:11 Someone's just sold you a dodgy water. Go to the bathroom. Get out of the tap. No, it's going on the list. That's fine. No, you contribute it. It's on. Thank you, Nicky.
Starting point is 00:48:21 I can't. Is that real? Who's charging for a glass of water? I don't know what concerts Nikki's going to, but if she's experienced it, I believe her. To all the people who are sick of paying for paper bags at the supermarket, for paying for
Starting point is 00:48:35 name changes on flights. And you know what else? Female sanitary products. Or the women who are sick of paying for their tampons. Yeah, put them on the list. Put them on the goddamn list. They should be free. Free and Clint. A.
Starting point is 00:48:48 It's my birthday. It's my birthday. Free and Clint's Birthday Banger. Songs that were top of the charts on your guys' 16th birthdays. That's what we're doing here. We'll pick the best one to play in full. Tom, hi. Welcome to Birthday Banger.
Starting point is 00:49:01 Hi, Tom. G'day, guys. How we doing? Good. How are you, Tom? Yeah, not too bad, thank you. That's good. What's your birthday?
Starting point is 00:49:08 16th of the 10th, 1993. Right, you were 16 in 2009 on the 16th of October, and on that day, this was top of the chart. She's in a wheelchair. She's up on the crutches. She's going over the balcony. It's the paparazzi video. Is it?
Starting point is 00:49:29 Yeah, isn't that the one? I can't remember it. And she comes in and she's in that real weird steampunk looking wheelchair. Oh, yeah. Like Lady Gaga. Tom, are you a fan? Oh, there's been better, but there's been worse as well. So, yeah, I'm not a big fan.
Starting point is 00:49:44 To be honest, it's probably my least favourite song of hers. Okay, whoa, that's saying something. And I love Lady Gaga. Yeah, because she's got some bad songs too. Adrian. Pardon you. Hi, welcome to Birthday Banger. Hello, how are you?
Starting point is 00:49:57 Good, Adrian. What's your birthday? 30-11-1980. Right, you were 16 in 1996 on the 30th of November. And back in the mid-90s, this had a number one hit. If you want to be my lover, you got to get with my friends. Make it last forever, friendship never ends. A little group called the Spice Girls.
Starting point is 00:50:18 Oh, you want to be my lover. Um, are you part of the girl power movement, Adrian? Oh, yeah, why not? Yeah, good man. Who was your favourite Spice? Sporty. Yeah, Sporty was cool. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:50:31 So crazy. One of my friends who works at a radio station in Melbourne yesterday, I saw in her Instagram story, she posted a video. She was sitting in a cubicle and Sporty Spice was outside singing a song. Why? Because she was in the bathroom, but she was just singing a song. She was there for an interview. Oh, right.
Starting point is 00:50:50 Oh. How random. I thought at a random place Sporty Spice was on the street singing. No, it was for a radio station. Oh, right. But still. Did she get an autograph? You go and say hello to Sporty Spice.
Starting point is 00:50:59 No, she was doing a poo. Oh. And she took a video of. Wait, wait, wait. How does this work? So my friend who works at the radio station. Was doing a poo. Oh. And she took a video of... Wait, wait, wait. How does this work? So my friend who works at the radio station... Was doing a poo? No, so she followed
Starting point is 00:51:09 Sporty Spice into the bathroom. And then there was only one person in there, so then she went into a cubicle and then she had to do a poo. So she was sitting on the toilet and then she heard Sporty Spice come out of the toilet and start singing when she was in front of the basins. That's so disrespectful to do a poo in front of Sporty Spice come out of the toilet and start singing when she was in front of the basins.
Starting point is 00:51:25 That's so disrespectful to do a poo in front of Sporty Spice. Tony, you get the last birthday banger today. Tony-Anne, hi. Hi. Hello, how are you? Good, how are you, Tony-Anne? Enjoying the sunshine, yourself? Oh, yeah, well, hopefully once we get out of here.
Starting point is 00:51:39 What's your birthday? 9th of April, 1974. All right, you were 16 in 1990 on the 9th of April. And Tony-Anne, this is your birthday back. Yeah, girl, get it, girl. Everyone, drop your pants. Everyone, drop your pants. In Aussie, it's tradition that if this song comes on,
Starting point is 00:52:02 everyone pulls their pants down. It's important to know that that's not a tradition here. Right, good to know. And if you're in a public place and you take your pants off, you can't just go, it's because Eagle Rock's on. Well, that's why I got kicked out of headquarters the other day. Won't hold up in court. Tony-Anne, you love your birthday banger, don't you?
Starting point is 00:52:17 I certainly do. Yeah, good on you. Okay, we've got a decision to make. Unfortunately for Tony-Anne, I'm voting for the Spice Girls. I'm voting Spice Girls. Yeah, I thought it was a done deal as soon as I heard it. Because Ross shouted at us last time we played Daddy Cool. Adrian, you've won Birthday Banger.
Starting point is 00:52:32 Congratulations. Excellent. That's what I like. There you go. Yeah, Adrian. Brian Clint, here you go. Yo, I'll tell you what I want, what I really, really want. Don't tell me what you want, what you really, really want.

Come your body down, the wine is all around. Come your body down, I'm sick of this. ZM Bree and Clint.
Starting point is 00:55:12 Bree's friend did a poo in front of the sporty one. Yesterday. Yesterday. That's the Spice Girls who won birthday banger today. That'd be on my bucket list, eh? What? To do number twos in front of a Spice Girl? You're cocked.
Starting point is 00:55:30 No, just to meet one of them. Oh. God, you always take it down that road. No, you do, and that's why my brain automatically went there. Who's the best Spice Girl? Oh, I can't pick, and that's a true Spice Girls fan right there. You can pick. And you know who it is?
Starting point is 00:55:47 Who? I'm going to pick it for you. Who is it? Sporty Spice. In the era. Back in the day. Yeah. You're a snap pant liking.
Starting point is 00:56:00 She was pretty badass, wasn't she? Upper arm tattoo loving Sporty Spice fan. I know that about you. I really can't pick but yeah I did like Sporty Spice. Neither can I baby. Well it's that time of the week where I've got a new idea.
Starting point is 00:56:17 Guys, Bree's got another big creative radio game idea again. Oh we told her no more ideas like that for the show. Ah, here we go. Breeze. Brainstorm. You know, like brainstorm with Bree?
Starting point is 00:56:31 Yeah, that's what I'm trying to get across. Look, for the past couple of weeks, I've been having some brainstorms. That's what we called it. Sounds like beanstorm. That needs work. And I've been pitching them to you, different ideas for radio game segments.
Starting point is 00:56:44 I've got another one. Right. And it's all centred around I've been pitching them to you. Different ideas for radio games, segments. I've got another one. Right. And it's all centred around I've been loving Trade Me and I've been buying and selling some stuff on Trade Me, but I've figured out about myself is that I need to try before I buy. It's the Trade Me. Try before you buy. Try before you buy, buy.
Starting point is 00:57:05 Try before you buy, buy. Try before you buy, buy. Try before you buy, buy. Try before you buy, buy. Try before you buy. Bye. This feels like one of those ideas where you came up with the song first. It could be. And then you made the idea fit the song.
Starting point is 00:57:22 But that's okay. Some good ideas can come from that too. That's a compliment because that's not how it went. Look, I do really love to try things before I buy them because I'm someone who I get anxiety about buying stuff when I don't know exactly what I'm getting. Especially secondhand. Exactly right.
Starting point is 00:57:38 So this game, it's all about I'm going to pick something off Trade Me. It's not really the rules of Trade Me, though. Right. Like, Trade Me's kind of like as is, where is. Okay, well, this may or may not be Facebook Marketplace as well. Same deal, same deal. Anything stick in hand, I feel like if you're looking for the perfect experience, you need to go to a store.
Starting point is 00:57:59 But I'll persevere with you. That's fine. So that's what makes this awkward, then, is that the aim of the game is to call someone who's got something on Trade Me or Facebook Marketplace and to just ask them, hey, can I try this before I buy it? What's the item that we're going to call? So I'm not exactly sure.
Starting point is 00:58:17 I think it's a guy named Duncan and he's got a couch for sale. And I kind of just want to ask, can I watch a movie while sitting on the couch just to try it out? Can I sleep on it for a week and pretend I've had a fight with my partner? Yeah, so we're going to put a call in to this guy right now. Hello, Alicia speaking. Hi there. I thought this was going to be Duncan's number.
Starting point is 00:58:47 It's Duncan's wife. Oh, perfect. Yeah. And you guys have the couch up for sale, the brown one? Possibly. It is the rug, but... Oh, it's the rug. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:59:00 Right. That's okay because I'm looking for everything at the moment for a living room, so that's fine. Oh, okay. Yeah. Right. That's okay because I'm looking for everything at the moment for a living room, so that's fine. Oh, okay. I was wondering, I actually have a small little baby. She's about 14 months now. And I was wondering if I could come over and just see because she's very picky about the different types of rugs.
Starting point is 00:59:21 I was wondering if I could bring her over and, like, kind of try before we buy kind of thing and see how she likes it. Yeah. You know we're in Mapua, don't you? Yeah, yeah. I'm pretty close to you guys. Oh, okay. Yeah, no, that would be fine.
Starting point is 00:59:33 Sweet. So if we could, like, set up a time for, like, yeah, like maybe half an hour, she could probably get a feel for it and I could see if, yeah, she reacts well to it. Yeah, that would be fine. I mean, we had our kids, well, I've got an almost two-year-old and he was on it, but he might not be picky, so I don't know. She can be quite picky.
Starting point is 00:59:51 You know what they're like. Okay, great. All right, well, I'll send you a message and we can just set up a time from there. Sure, no problem. Amazing. Thanks so much for taking my call. Appreciate it.
Starting point is 01:00:02 That's all right. See you later. Bye. Bye. She's too kind. She. Appreciate it. That's all right. See you later. Bye. Bye. She's too kind. She's very lovely. She's too nice. I feel like I need to buy that rug now.
Starting point is 01:00:10 You have to go all the way to Marpola. You need to find a fake baby, do the test run, and go, you know what? Baby loves it. I'll take the rug. How old's Tui, your baby? She'll do. She'll do.
Starting point is 01:00:22 She'll pass. My baby is not fodder for your shit pranks. Bree and Clint. This is an interesting story. The organisers at the New Zealand Horse of the Year competition, which I know nothing about, but I imagine it's a beauty pageant for
Starting point is 01:00:37 horses, or a talent quest for horses. Oh, can you imagine? X Factor for horses. Talent quest for horses? Yeah. And they're like, what's your talent? And he's like, trotting and galloping. Horse impressions. Horsing around. I'm real good at jumping.
Starting point is 01:00:53 Horse impressions. Horse impressions. Like when Charlie Chaplin lost a Charlie Chaplin impersonation contest. That's right, yeah. He gets up and he's like. Like, no, you sound too human. Yeah. I think you're lacking motivation. No, the issue they've got is not a lack of talented horses.
Starting point is 01:01:10 It's an oversupply of drunk people riding the horses. What? They've brought in the New Zealand Horse of the Year competition, breath testing for everybody involved, and they're breath testing people as young as nine years old. Nine? Yeah. for everybody involved, and they're breath testing people as young as nine years old. Nine? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:01:30 I don't know why there is a lot of drunk nine-year-olds at the Horse of the Year competition. I don't know. I don't know why they're drinking so much. Is this a van in country Queensland? Yeah, or some rural part of New Zealand where you're drinking moonshine. I don't know. I don't know. But it says we're breath testing grandparents down to children. Maybe they just do it to be fair. I don't know. I don't know. But it says we're breath testing grandparents down to children.
Starting point is 01:01:46 Maybe they just do it to be fair. I don't know. Cross the board. They also haven't said whether many children are failing their breath test. Don't drunken ride, kids. If you fail a breath test as a nine-year-old and you get done DIC... You don't have a licence. You don't have a licence to take away.
Starting point is 01:02:03 So what's the punishment? That's a fascinating question. Yeah, I don't have a licence You don't have a licence to take away So what's the punishment? That's a fascinating question Yeah, I don't know Maybe they would, I don't know, juvie? Even if they said you're not allowed to drive for five years You go, jokes on you, I'm not actually allowed to drive for six years Maybe it starts when you can get your licence Yeah, I wouldn't like to be punished for something I did on a horse when I was nine
Starting point is 01:02:22 Anyway, that's the story. I thought off the back of that, we could test our knowledge about modes of transport you can and can't operate under the influence of alcohol. Okay. Okay, so I'll give you the mode of transport, and you tell me whether you can drive that thing after a few too many. Hopefully I should know my stuff. Hopefully you should know your stuff.
Starting point is 01:02:48 We'll start out simple. We've just talked about it. Horse. Can you operate a horse under the influence? Ooh, it doesn't have an engine. I'm going to say no, you can't. Not at the Horse of the Year competition. Correct.
Starting point is 01:02:59 Well done. Second one. You should get this one. Yes. Car. Ooh. Ooh. Ooh. Is it a, what kind of cylinder are we talking?
Starting point is 01:03:09 Standard four cylinder. Oh, standard. Japanese import. That changes it. About 150 Ks on the clock. I'm still going to say no, you cannot. Correct, you cannot. Okay.
Starting point is 01:03:19 What about Lime Scooter? Ooh. Can you operate a Lime Scooter under the influence? Okay, we've talked about this a few times before. I'm going to say by law you can't be booked for it. But what do I believe? I think you should definitely not be. But I think by law they can't book you for it.
Starting point is 01:03:42 Interesting. I couldn't find the answer. So let's go with that. Probably no. they can't book you for it. Hmm. Interesting. I couldn't find the answer. So let's go with that. Probably no. Well, remember those stories that came out in Dunedin and they were like the guy was caught on a lime scooter under the influence, but they just had to give him a stern talking to.
Starting point is 01:03:57 Yeah, but what are they doing? Like, you know, when you go through a breath testing station, like a roadside breath testing station, are they setting those up on the footpath for lime scooters? How are you catching drunk lime riders? I guess you're just pulling them over when you're in the squad car. Yeah. Like, pull it over to the side of the footpath.
Starting point is 01:04:14 He's like, I'm going to make a run for it. You get up to 15 k's an hour and you're like, eat my dust. And the final one, I also don't know the answer to, but I'm wondering what you think Because it's not here yet Okay Do you think you'll be allowed to be the only one In a self-driving car under the influence of alcohol? Once we get them
Starting point is 01:04:35 Once we get Google cars And once they get the Teslas up and running Yep Do you think you're going to be allowed to be in one of those Under the influence? That is so interesting Yeah Because what if the car's had a couple of drinks and it can't drive home?
Starting point is 01:04:49 Yeah, maybe that's the problem too. I think that's the rule. One of you has to be sober. You knew that you were the designated driver. Bree and Clint. As coronavirus continues to disrupt the entire world and be the only thing that the news is talking about, by the way. Yeah, there is nothing else. And it's kind of annoying to think
Starting point is 01:05:10 because obviously there's stuff going on in the world that also needs to be talked about. It is taking up a lot of the news coverage. But it is affecting everything. Of course, we've got the news today that Coachella's been postponed because of Coachella virus. That's a different thing. That is a different thing. It's been moved into October.
Starting point is 01:05:30 Have you thought about how it's going to impact the strip club industry? No, I can't say I was super worried about that mainly. I was more worried about, you know, other things. Yeah, right. Okay. Well, strip clubs need to have a plan too.
Starting point is 01:05:46 Why? They need to know how they're going to survive and keep the customers coming in. Because people are stopping going to crowded places. That's what coronavirus is doing. So you're saying strip clubs are crowded places? Generally, there's more than one person in a strip club. Every time I've been there,
Starting point is 01:06:01 it's been a pretty sad, lonely kind of place. Yeah, fair enough. Like not many people. But it does involve people in close quarters, right? Like it involves... It involves, well, depending who you're talking about. Well, also depending on how much money you want to put down, I guess. But generally, the idea of a strip club is you meeting someone close up
Starting point is 01:06:21 that you wouldn't normally have contact with. And there's not obviously a lot of protective clothing layers between you and that person, is there? No. So maybe strip clubs are the worst place to be during coronavirus because it's a lot of human-to-human contact.
Starting point is 01:06:36 Well, depending, like you said, how much money you have. There is a strip club in Las Vegas called Little Darlings who, to get people coming back to the strip club, because they're already facing coronavirus issues, they're offering 50,000 bottles of hand sanitizer. What?
Starting point is 01:06:53 So everybody who goes to the strip club gets a free bottle of hand sanitizer. As like a party favor. Oh, right. Right. It used to be a different type of... No. No, it's not one of those things. No?
Starting point is 01:07:07 And don't use it for that thing either. That'll burn. Oh, yeah, that would burn. You know what else burns doing that? Deep heat. Yes, deep heat. Don't use deep heat for that either. Yeah, don't use deep heat.
Starting point is 01:07:16 No. They're offering hand sanitizer. Another strip club in Tampa in the States is offering free face masks. Free face... Why? Oh, I was thinking of like a hydration mask. club in Tampa in the States is offering free face masks. Free face? Why? Oh, I was thinking of like a hydration mask. I was like, what's that going to do to protect you?
Starting point is 01:07:33 You're talking about an actual mask. No, like a breathing mask type thing. Right. That makes a lot more sense. All in an effort to get people coming back to the strip clubs during coronavirus. Again, I just think it's possibly the worst place that you can be in a person-to-person transmitted virus outbreak. And also, it's probably something you can give a rest for a bit.
Starting point is 01:07:51 Yeah, I mean, you probably can go without it. Yeah, it's not an essential gathering place, is it? Well, I mean, not for us. Well, not this weekend. Not at the moment. But anyway, if you are in the strip club industry and you're going, how are we going to get people back in?
Starting point is 01:08:08 I just imagined like you go to a strip club and there's the dancers. Yeah. But they're all in plastic. Hazmat suits. Hazmat suits. Maybe that would attract a different type of client. But they can't take them off. Yeah, I know.
Starting point is 01:08:23 But maybe there's people out there who are into all different types of client. But they can't take them off. Yeah, I know, but maybe there's people out there who are into all different types of stuff. Maybe they're like, you know, we're really killing it now. Yeah, for coronavirus, we're going to be putting
Starting point is 01:08:32 items of clothing on. Back on. Who knows how things are going to go. Anyway, that's your Strip Club news for the day. ZM's Free and Clint. The podcast
